AIO, Aquila In Danger;
Possible Charter Repeal
Blamed On Disinterest
The only two campus organi­zations
founded expressly for in­dependent
men and women ap­pear
to be in danger of losing
their charters.
According to Bob Lynn, co­ordinator
of student activities, an
-investigation conducted by him
*'; revealed that the Auburn Inde­pendent
Organization and Aquila,
clubs for independent men and
women respectively, have become
inactive. David Rice, AIO presi­dent,
explained that lack of in­terest
on the part of the inde­pendent
students is the cause of
both clubs' present dilemma.
A meeting will be held tonight
in room 310 in the Union Build­ing
to discuss all aspects of the
problem. Miss Susan Deloney, a-sistant
dean of women, will con­tact
one independent representa­tive
from each of the women's
dorms and request her presence
at the meeting while Rice will
notify several men who have
shown interest in the. AIO for

Qualifications for candidates
who will be running for Student
Body positions during the spring
elections on April 10 are as fol­lows:
SPRING IS HERE and Betty Gregg is not loathe to leave
her plowing undone and venture off to the water's edge or the

New Orleans looking for new tal­ent,
the two brothers, Frankie
and Freddie Assento, got together
a seven piece unit,: rehearsed
them thoroughly, and walked off.

with the Heidt troupe for two
weeks, the group decided to go
professional.
The Duke's playing now repre­sents
a style stemming from the
original'Dixieland bands of the
early part of the 20th century. The
Dukes have a varied style that
imports character and a dynamic
quality that places them apart
from most contemporary combos
of the same type.
Committees Study Improvement
Of Concert And Lecture Series
By Margaret Jones
An investigation of ways to improve the Concert and
Lecture Series is currently being conducted. Because of stu­dent
apathy toward the series, the planning committee, head­ed
by Dean Cater, and a Senate appointed committee, headed
by Caroll Woodard, are seeking suggestions from students
for future programs.
They urge everyone to drop
their suggestions for improve­ments
in the Senate Suggestion
Box.
In planning these programs the
committee is handicapped by not
knowing whether students like
music, comedy, or lectures best
and by not knowing the time of
week students prefer having
them.
It has been suggested that stu­dent
participation might be bet­ter
on a weekend. The presen­tation
of the Pittsburg Symphony
on Friday night was an experi­ment
to see if there would be
better participation on the week
end. However, it might not be
feasible to have all concerts on
weekends, especially during foot­ball
season in the' fall. This is
the kind of problem to which the
investigators want student re
action.
Another problem faced by the
planners is that of insufficient
funds for procuring top names.
The series portion of the Student
Activities fee is approximately
$8,000 per year. This must be ap­portioned
so that each quarter
has approximately the same type
program. Procuring top perform­ers
is expensive and unbalances
the quarterly allowances. There­fore,
it has been suggested that
students might be interested in
paying an additional 25 cents or
50 cents to see a top performer.
Since planning for next year's
program is now in progress, the
investigating committee would
also like student opinions on this
question.
Unregistered Cars
To Bring $10 Fine
To comply with the campus
traffic regulations all students
who will return to Auburn with
a new or different automobile
next quarter are urged to see that
they are properly registered.
Failure to register a car will
result in a fine of $10. If the
owner has previously had an
automobile registered but has ob­tained
a different one he need
only go by the Campus Security
Office for a new decal.
However, if the owner has
changed classes he must re-reg­ister
the car in the Registrar's of­fice
for a new classification.
A copy of API's "Parking and
Traffic Regulations" which ex­plains
the registration require­ments
in detail may be secured
at the Campus Security Office.
New Cheerleaders
To Be Announced
At 'A-Day' Game
The 14 finalists in the cheer­leader
tryouts will be announced
this Friday. These 14 finalists
will cheer at the A-Day game to
be held this Saturday. From these
14 finalists, three girls and four
boys will be chosen for next
year. The seven cheerleaders for
next year will be announced at
the A-Day half-time.
Tryouts began Monday, Feb. 24
and the first elimination was
made Thursday, Feb. 27 by last
year's cheerleaders. A total of
108 girls and 23 boys came out to
t h e practices held M o n d ay
through Thursday at 4:30 p. m.
behind the field house.
Eliminations were made by the
present cheerleaders who elimi­nated
students by numbers given
them rather than by their names.

will be made by the presi­dents
of ODK, Blue Key, A-Club,
IFCi Men and Women's Student
Governments, and the Spirit
Committee.

Beautilication Plan
Removes Shrubbery
From Quadrangle
The complete absence of shrub­bery
in the Upper Quadrangle,
which produces so startling an
effect on the unsuspecting eye, is
evidence of the progress being
made in the long-range beautifi-cation
program developed by
Building and Grounds.
Landscape architect Homer
Fisher who is a member of the
API horticulture department, de­signed
the plans for beautifica-tion
of the dormitory area and
other parts of the campus.
All of the shrubs were removed
from the Upper Quadrangle be­cause
of disease and age. These
plants will be replaced according
to the new landscaping plans
when necessary soil preparations
have been completed.
Students will be urged to walk
on the paved paths instead of
trampling the new plants and re-seeded
grass.
The Lower Quadrangle receiv­ed
benefit from the program dur­ing
fall quarter when new paths
were paved, shrubs were planted
and the lawn was resodded in
that area.

address on March 14 to' a
class of 280 graduates.
He is John Hodnette, a native
of Notasulga, Ala., executive vice
president of the Westinghouse
Electric Corporation, Pittsburgh,
and the 1957 winner of the Edi­son
Medal.
Three times within recent years
Mr. Hodnette has been honorjid
for outstanding contribution, "to
the electrical industry.
His latest and most significant
acclaim came on Feb. 3 this year
when he was awarded the. Edi­son
Medal, one of the highest
honors to be received in the eleer
trical field. •'.;"
Only 46 other persons have re­ceived
the Edison Award since
it was established in 1904. These
include men like George We*st-inghouse,
Alexander Grahain
Bell, Michael Pupin and Lee~ d6
Forest. aj
In 1939 Mr. Hodnette was
awarded the Westinghouse Oi-der
of Merit, the highest honor
bestowed by his company.
And then in 1940 the National
Association of Manufacturers
named him 'Modern Pioneer <&
the American Frontier of Indus­try."
'%
Primarily due to Mr. Hodnette's
drive the first practical Ameri-can-
designed electric torpedo
came out of Westinghouse's. trans­former
division just three months
after the beginning of design
work on the new weapon. That
torpedo was successful to the ex­tent
that it was credited with
sinking two million tons of Jap­anese
shipping. , ;;
Born at Notasulga in 1902,: Mr.
Hodnette graduated from the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
1922 With a degree in mechanical
engineering. In 1923 he joinied

Following the National Inter-fraternity's
Council award to the
Auburn IFC of a statuette, the
publication "Banta's Greek Ex­change"
featured President Ralph
Draughon and IFC president Tom
Espy on its January issue cover.
The magazine is well known

subject matter is devoted to
topics of interest to fraternities
and sororities.
President Draughon and Espy
were posed with the statuette
"friend" which is now on display
in the Union Building lobby. The
statuette was given to Auburn's
IFC for outstanding service to
the college and community as
welL as for fostering closer re­lationship
among the fraterni­ties
on the campus.
This award effectively denotes
Auburn's as the top Interfrater-nity
Council in the country. There
are more than 150 schools with
organizations set up for the pur­pose
of co-ordinating the activi­ties
of their respective campus'
fraternities.

Plans For New Ag, Vet Building
Submitted To Architectural Firms
By Jim Kilpatric
The four and one-half mil­lion
dollars in bonds, author­ized
by the special election of
December 17 for new agricul­ture
and veterinary medicine
buildings have been sold. API
Business Manager W. T. In­gram
announced this week
that architects are working on
plans for the buildings.
These general obligation bonds
were purchased by the First Nat­ional
and Trust National Banks
of Birmingham, the first National
Bank of Montgomery, two,Mobile
banks, the State National Bank
of Decatur, and almost every
bond dealer in the state.
The Pearson, Tiddle & Narrows
architectural firm is handling the
drawings for the veterinary faci­lities.
Present plans are to locate
the new buildings on Wire Road,
1.4 miles past the Drill Field on!
property already owned by the
college. Two main buildings will
be constructed and such lesser
buildings as are necessary. A
large animal clinic with isolation
building will house the animal
diseases research laboratories.
The present buildings on Vet
Hill will continue to be used by
the Vet School, but will be re­modeled
to increase the class­room
and lab space.
Van Keuren-Davis, Pcmbleton
& Mims, and Warren, Knight and
Davis, firms working on Ag
School plans, have submitted
topographical maps of the area
from Dorm XI to Samford Ave.
Tentative plans call for extending
Roosevelt Avenue from its inter­section
with Mell Street across
Ag Hollow to intersect College
Street near the Alpha Gamma
Rho House. The exact path of
this road has not been decided.
At least one of the new Ag
buildings will be constructed de-r
pending upon their eventual loV
cations. One will house the agro­nomy,
horticulture, botany, zo-.
ology and embryology depart-'
ments. Another will hold the
Animal Sciences and Agricultur­al
research department. There has,
been some talk of extending the
animal husbandry building for-J
ward toward Comer Circle. The:
two header houses located di-"
rectly behind Comer will prob­ably
be torn down. They were-condemned
in 1930, but have been*
used continuously because of.'-'
lack of space.
Mr. Ingram says he expects'"
bids to be let sometime during-*
the summer and actual construe--'
tion should begin in the early;'
fall. He anticipates that contract
tors will need at least a year to"
complete the proposed buildings.

the School of Architecture and
organized by Scarab, national
professional honorary architectur­al
fraternity. The ball was held
at the Alabama National Guard
Armory from 8 until 2 p.m. Sat­urday,
March 1.
The theme, "inferno," was ef­fectively
carried out with long
red streamers being blown by
fans, and bright beacons, which
revealed the very depths of hell.
Costumes were judged by mem­bers

Others attending the ball were
dressed as Romans, Germans,

revelation of what has been done
causes the son to gouge his eyes

The reading will be done with
nothing but masks held before

EXPELLED?
At last, all cotton drip-dry
shirts are a reality! Van Heusen
has achieved this triumph in
the new Vantage shirt which
is 100% cotton, drip-dries in
a jiffy, and needs no ironing!
At only $5, it's the all-around
shirt for college men, and also
has a few special uses which
you might possibly overlook.
You're expelled from school.
Since you have no money,
you're forced to walk home
(you live in Lovelyville, 1,357
miles away). The Van Heusen
Vantage shirt is perfect for
this situation. First, you can
wash it in the many brooks
you pass as you trudge along
the open road — and, as you
catch a quick wink in a hollow
log, it will drip-dry and be
neat and snappy for the next
lap of your trek. Second,
because Vantage is all cotton,
it looks so smart that you
begin to feel well-educated.
People will say, "there goes a
cultured chap." .

Pep Rally - Or Riot ? 1 — THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, March 5, 1958
LITTLE AVAHKAMPUS «%m
This 'panty raid' situation has gotten out
of control. The near riot in the quadrangle
last week following the Kentucky basket­ball
game went too far.
Spontaneous pep rallys after a big sports
win are typical of our school spirit here
at Auburn, but last week's demonstration
was not a show of school spirit. It was an
ugly mob.
The scene could have been outside
Grant Field with Tech boys lining the
bank to shout insults. It didn't look like
Auburn at all.
If such an unruly, vile talking mob as
that gathers again on the Auburn campus
we hope that the leaders of that mob will
be brought before the Disciplinary Board.
We can ill afford the bad publicity that
a panty raid will bring to our school.
Some students fail to realize the damage
that can be done by a mob of panty raid­ers
storming through a dorm. Girls in
Dorm 7 egged the crowd on last week.
They had a big time throwing toilet paper
down from the sun deck and shouting en­couragement
to the boys below. .
In 1947, a panty raid here caused hun­dreds
of dollars in damage in the way of
broken and fire-extinguisher soaked fur­niture,
and clothing torn and stolen. Pro­perty
damage was high, to say nothing of
the personal injuries resulting from a
howling mob running through the dorms.
Luckily, few of the state newspapers
carried stories about the 1947 'raid.' Little
bad publicity came as a result. Auburn
has been a big name in the news this year,
and you can be sure we wouldn't be over­looked
now.
It is a situation that we must avoid.
The girls themselves can do much to
elimisate a nasty near-riot such as we had
last week. WSGA is the ideal coordinating
agency to draw up a master plan whereby
the dormitory doors and windows would
be locked in case of a panty raid attempt.
Something needs to be done about the co­eds
who hang out windows to wave lin­gerie
and shout encouragement to the boys
below. (We understand that WSGA saw
fit to punish only one of the many girls in
Dorm 7 who dropped toilet paper from the
sun deck and offered general encourage­ment
to the panty raid last week.)
The coeds who encourage the panty raids
are as much to blame as the boys taking
part. Something should be done to remedy
the situation even if it means herding all
the girls down to the dormitory lobby dur­ing
a panty raid.
If some definite steps are taken to bring
disciplinary action against the girls who
encourage, and the boys who make a tough
mob out of a spontaneous pep rally; then
we all will gain from an increased student
spirit that yet remains in bounds.
Independent Organization
Tonight there will be a meeting open
to all independents in the Union building.
If there is a need for an independent or­ganization
on this campus, this will be an
opportunity to gauge it; for the number
of people coming will be a good approxi­mation
of those interested.
The main problem that will be encount­ered
is whether this organization is act­ually
needed. AIO and Aquila, the former
independent organizations, are now de­funct,
apparently because of little interest
shown in them. Although this fact sug­gests
that there is no need for an idepend-ent
organization here, we hope those who
feel that there is a need will come to this
meeting, help in its organization, and de­cide
whether it will be political, social or
both.
If the attendance is small, this oppor­tunity
may not present itself again for a
long while. Those with no fraternal con­nections
will have missed a good chance
to form a strong group that would serve
them in planning social activities, such as
dances with big name bands and various
kinds of parties; in forming political
strength to be considered by candidates
for a Student Government or publications
office; and, most of all, in publicly ex­pressing
their own ideas to the students,
faculty and administration.
Return Our Exams!
We all realize that one of the objectives
of an examination is to provide the in­structor
with an indication of the stu­dent's
performance and learning. Judging
from the practices of a number of instruc­tors
though, we are led to believe that they
exclude any other purposes which a test
can serve.
One such purpose which seems to be ig­nored
is that of using a test as an instru­ment
of learning. Students tend to remem­ber
longer and more vividly those points
which are covered in an examination; this
factor should be recognized in adminis­tering
a test. There are quite a few in­structors
on this campus who refuse to
return a graded examination to the stu­dents,
thus leaving us in a state of con­fusion
as to what was right and what was
wrong.
The teaching value of a test is not fully
realized unless the quiz is returned to the
students and reviewed by the instructor,
who should be eager to help clear up any
misunderstandings. When this is done, the
instructor has furthered his primary rea-

son for being here—to teach. (He certain­ly
isn't in the business for the money.)
The one apparent reason for an instruc­tor's
reluctance to return quiz papers is
his fear that the quizzes will "get out,"
thus preventing his giving that same quiz
the next quarter. The attitude seems to
be one of "If I teach this course one quar­ter,
there will be hardly any work at all
in teaching it again once I get a set of
quizzes made up." How many times have
your teachers reprimanded you for not do­ing
enough work? Perhaps some of these
"preacher-teachers" could afford to follow
their own advice.
Thus we see that we are being cheated
by these instructors who refuse to let us
know where we are wrong, or, equally
important, where we are right. A letter
or numerical grade on a quiz cannot tell
us which questions we correctly solved or
which ones were in error. Some instruc­tors
will tell you that you missed ques­tions
3, 7, 13, 16 and 18, but you can't see
where your error was made unless you
have the graded quiz before you and can
examine each step in your solution.
In conclusion, we would like to praise
the majority of instructors here who re­turn
quizzes and are not satisfied until
each student realizes where he made his
mistakes. We only hope that the number
of these instructors who recognize the
learning value of a quiz will increase, pre­ferably
through the voluntary efforts of
"non-quiz returning" instructors.
Student Response
Draws Praise From Library

The spirit of cooperation among the API
students is wonderful. One really has to
see to believe.
Two days ago you published a request
for thirty copies of the February 5th issue
of The Plainsman for use in supporting our

There is a tremendous amount
of varied .scientific information
published every day in hope of
satisfying the almost insatible
thirst for knowledge found in
every man, woman and child in
our present age.
Take for instance the very in­teresting
report
recently pub­lished
by the
Smithsonian In­stitute.

"the grayhead-ed
dove, a cur­ious
bird ven-trilo
q u i s t, is
found in Pana­ma
jungles. It is
most difficult to spot the birds
by their call, for although they
are known to stay close to the
ground, the sound of their call
seems to come from the trees."
Of course, this is no more
amazing than the fact that one
pair of flies, if nothing interfered,
could in a few months' lay a
blanket of their descendants over
the earth to a depth of three feet.

REAL-KILL bug spray).
Not only can we thank the pig
for bacon and ham and pork
chops, but it was he who offered
himself as a medical test speci-man.

first isolated in 1931 from the
pig and it was not until two years
later that it was isolated from
human beings. Praised be the

you eat as a child may have done
you more harm than good. The
World Health Organization re­ports
that the vegetable contains
a rather large amount of oxalic
acid, which combines with lime
and can actually take out of the
body some of the calcium a child
needs. Also, says WHO, spinach
is a poor energy producer and is
hard to digest.

Beware, take care, for three
out of every four Americans will
probably pick up a case of ath­lete's

lives, and as some of us already
know, there is no quick cure
known for the disease. In most
cases its cure involves time and
effort, even under expert care.
Our senators and representa­tives

300-million-candlepower shaft of
light to direct departing airplanes
over the more sparsely populated

busy Washington International
Airport in an effort to minimize
the noise near heavily populated
areas. The beacon is unusual in
that the pilot does not actually

Attention addicts. Don't let the

a dose of "H" and they inject you
with "nalorphine," the diameter
of the pupils in your eyes is re­duced
by one half to two milli­meters
within thirty minutes. If
you occassionally get a "kick"
but are not addicted, your pu­pils
won't change in size. But if
you are "hooked", the diameter
increases by one-half to two

We cannot, for lack of space,
even begin to mention the my-raids
of new and important ideas
discovered every day and shared
with us students by unselfish
scientists who devote their lives
to the furtherance of the truth.

some of them are here teaching
us thoroughly and patiently the
basic laws of science. Feel free to

CAST OUT
2,500 Students
It was hard to believe a half
hour after the final whistle in the
Alabama game, that Auburn could
draw an estimated 9,000 people
together under one roof to watch
five of our students compete with
five from the University. The fa­mous
Cow Palace
of Montgomery
was almost em­pty,
o n l y be­tween
two and
three thousand
fans were left,
s t i l l fighting
their way toward
the exists.
One t h i ng
bothered me; 2 to 3 thousand,
the same number that could
have been packed into our home
stands.
We go into next year with
some of the greatest basketball
material in the history of our
school and with one of the best
winning streaks in the nation: Yet
we go into next year with the
same overcrowded Sports Arena.
Why is so little respect given
our overworked team?
Let's look at the history of our
present Sports Arena for a second.
It was built ten years ago as a
temporary solution to the problem
of. an expanding student body.
The building was a gift of the
U. S. Government and the only
expense incurred was in dismantl­ing
and transporting the arena
from Camp Polk, La. It was only
to last until a one and a half
million dollar field house could
be constructed on the site of our
present tennis courts. Now, ten
years later? "thV*p«isl>ar,e: §fHT'fhi,d
BY BRYANT CASTELLOW
the files of Building and Grounds.
Do we need a new field house in
comparison to the others in the
nation? By all means. Ours is the
smallest in the SEC and it is also
linked to one of the largest stu­dent
bodies. This is all without
saying a word about the best sup­porting
student body in the nation.
Our sports arena has a capacity
of 2,500. The -next smallest in the
conference is the one at Ole Miss,
with a seating capacity of 3,000.
The contrast is not so great until
you realize that Ole Miss has only
approximately 2,500 students.
When you also consider that Au­burn
is in the top twenty of tha
nation's basketball teams this is
really a mark to our discredit.
Add to the burning coals the fact
that seven of our conference rivals
can seat 5,000 on their home
ground and Kentucky, a school
approximately the same size as
our own, can seat 13,000 people
for each of their home games, and
this mark to our discredit be­comes
a painful thorn in our side.
Auburn is also famous for their
wrestling team since they have
been the best in the southeast for
over a decade; yet the lack of
facilities have forced both the
wrestling and basketball squads
to practice at the same time at
the same place. The noises of the
other add to the efficiency of
neither. At times it becomes mass
confusion.
Indoor physical education fa­cilities
are also lagging behind
enrollment. A new sports arena
would be a great boost to our PE
department. Other uses w o u ld
be for lectures and concerts, plays
CAMPUS TO CAMPUS
A Few "Nawthern" Views
BY JIM KILPATRIC
Miss Betty Elam is a coed at
the University of Tennessee
where she writes a column for
the weekly paper, the Orange and
White. During the past weeks,
Miss Elam has engaged in a
running controversy with a west
coast sports writer on the effec­tiveness
of single wing football
and has accused nationally syndi­cated
columnist Elaine Robb of
being a dis­g
r a c e to her
sex because she
admitted she
knew nothing
about football
and cared less.
Her latest ef­fort
was writ­ten
after con­versation
with
some students from Northwestern
University. While it bears signs
of anger and seems to have been
written to create comment, it
may carry more truth about Un­ion
feeling toward the Rebels
than Miss Elam realized and it
does make interesting reading:
"Yankees get wild ideas some­times.
Talking to three students from
Northwestern, none of whom had
been south of Chicago, I learned
that these bluecoats and their
comrades share the opinion that
southern college students are all
playboy material.
"Everybody's father (we call
it "Daddy')' is either a rich old
"Cunnel" or else a plantation
owner whose wealth came to him
through generations of cunnels
and overseers.
If you live in Alabama, you
can give your summers to sit­ting
on a "poch" in a rockin' chair
sipping a mint julep and a-watchin'
the slaves pick cotton.
If you live in Tennessee, the
Yanks say, well you're a mite
more pore than the other South­erners
and you run around bare­foot
summer and winter and
know all about moonshine and
sleep in a "bedstid" like Snuffy
Smith.
Kentuckians, according to this
Yankee apparition, train horses.
That's all—just train horses and
live on horse farms straight out
of '"April Love," even though the
girls aren't the Shirley Jones
type at all. Rather they're the
Nightmare Alice kind, only with
horses instead,of brooms.
What's more, these representa­tives
of the opposition declare,
Rebel grads might just as well
stay away from the Nawth 'cause
they just ain't no place there for
them. Anyway, they couldn't
stand the cold, being used to pine
trees and magnolia blossoms."
Trouble with these boys is they
forgot that other lil ole skir­mish
back in '65. Seems somebody
named Sherman came down here
and burned all the plantations,
stole all the horses, and emptied
the stills. Consequestly, South­ern
college students have to
work.
It would be nice to gather a
few more Nawthern views, but
unfortunately, I don't speak the
dialect.

Pity the poor fraternity boys
from Georgia Tech. They simply
took a weekend off from school
to have a houseparty in the
mountains and what happens?
They get snowbound! Trapped!
Stranded in the wilderness!
How sad!
How tragic!
There they were in North
Georgia . . . in mountain cabins
. . . before open fire places . . .
surrounded by pretty girls . . .
with hi fi sets playing soft mu­sic
How they must have missed
Atlanta! Several inches of snow,
sub-zero weather, enlightening
lectures, three hour labs, slide
rules, T-squares, parking prob­lems,
and no coeds. How their
hearts must have ached for the
familiar.
Oh, to have to suffer like that.

And speaking of Tech, I heard j,'
a story this week of a group of
Techmen who enrolled a non­existent
student under a fic-tituous
name and school officials
didn't learn of it until gradua­tion
when he failed to show up
for his diploma.
The fictitious guy got by, but
his sponsors spent so much time
on his lessons, they forgot their
own.
Some folks are always broad­casting
when they should be tun­ing
in.
A COLUMN
Dylan Thomas' Second Life
The words of Dylan Thomas to­day
employ a special and peculiar
popularity. With their author
dead and misdeemed, and they,
themselves, only emotionally felt
and misunderstood, the words say
more to the masses than any of
their kind, now and before now.
This is not to say that Dylan
Thomas wrote down, that he cat­ered
to the masses. Actually he
feared that simplicity would creep
into and water down his poems.
It is said that he often inten­tionally
wrote away from his-readers
and tried to thwart their
comprehension. Thomas could so
easily attract and entice with his
word sounds that so rascally ob­scure
his word meanings.
Why the words of Dylan Thomas
were so sensationally born and
why their death-like symbolism
did not kill them with their au­thor
is puzzling. Why does he
have more imitators than any
other poet in literature? Thomas'
literary stature is questionable to
authorities. His technique is de­ceptive,
they say. When you look
at it casually you think it is noth­ing.
The meter is banal and no
worse, no better than many poets
his age. Thomas has no invention
and a great deal of imitation. His
poems are theory-less.
But he lives. His words are
deeply delving and personal. They
are twisted and squeezed but
never stalked. Thomas grabbed at
a word and crammed it into place
or snatched a dozen from their
sentences. The reader feels
Thomas' exhuberance and his
hurried impulsive passion if he
cannot read the message.
Thomas, very much- a- symbolist,
loved death as a major symbol
for his work. There is a fatal
pessimism in much of him. All
of his life carries with its own
real germ of destruction. The read-
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
er very often is left grieving and
though Thomas longed for happi­ness
in his poems—"the sight and
smell and the sound of laughter"
—an inevitable sadness and nos­talgia
is there.
A great part of Dylan Thomas'
poetry is rage. He does not rage
at politics or society but at self.
He despairs and raves and is dis­satisfied
with himself. He moans
with rage at his failing ways. He
is the one and only subject of his
poems.
If it is better to be unknown
than misknown then Dylan Thom­as
did not fare so well. His au­dience
today only begins to know
him. But if endurance and in­stinctive
appreciation are meas­ures,
if beauty and freedom and
spontaneity are worthy,- then his .
popularity is justified.
Dylan Thomas was certain of
his endurance: "I shall advance for
as long as forever is."
AROUND AUBURN
Bring On The Globetrotters

again trying zestfully to write
another column. (Bad attempt).

W, / ed unless the
writer signs his or her name. We
are glad to receive all letters and
would like to print as many as
possible, but with no name they

Every week I sit at the type

helpful criticism or praise some­body
for making Auburn a better
place. If someone doesn't agree
with me I am more than happy
to hear from them and will print
the letter for the readers to read
and make their decision about
the matter.
If I have the guts or maybe
lack of sense to say something
and put both my name and ugly
mug by it, then the least some­one
who criticises it can do is to
sign his name to the letter to be

may only print one side of the
story. If you want the other side
told then write and tell us, but
please sign your name. People
ask little trifling questions that
should be printed, but with no
name we can't print them for the
students to see.
Another thing that is close to
my heart was all the enthusiasm
that was prevelent after we beat

Kentucky. The Union rang with
several WAR EAGLE's that came
from the enthusiastic crowd see­ing
skit nite. I guess the Auburn
spirit wasn't dead after all and it
was good to see it come out again.
I heard that some girls in one of
the dorms thought there was a
half-moon house on the lower
quadrangle that night and they
did their bit by supplying the
music roll.
A question that comes to mind
is what do we have to do in sports
to get a day off from classes. Any
other school that beat Kentucky
got a day off from class, but here
on the Plains things were back
to normal the next day. All No­tre
Dame had to do to get excus­ed
from class was beat Oklahoma
and we got first in the nation
(Oh! Hadn't you heard) and
STILL had class the next day. I
sure would like to know what
we have to do around here to get
a day off. Maybe we have to beat
the Harlem Globetrotters to get
excused, if so bring them on!

Letter To The Editor
The Editor
The Plainsman
Dear Sir:
I have just finished reading the
editorial in this week's Plainsman
concerning the recent WSGA elec­tions
and the "machine" politics
employed therein and although I
agree with your ideas stated in
dances and many other activities
that require the student body to
be called together.
I realize that there are many
other activities that also need
money for their programs, es­pecially
the School of Engineer­ing.
However, you can't ignore an
arm that is burning because the
other is bleeding.
We are all proud of. our athletic
teams and the publicity that they
have brought our school. To treat
them as the worst in the south
is unfitting and unjust. Why then
place them in the smallest gym­nasium
in the conference where
only a few can support them?
the editorial, I feel that they
should have included a larger
group. Why pick on the girls?
This system of "herd politics"
is by no means restricted to the
girls. There are, on this campus,
male office-holders who have
been run into office by Greek
herds just as these girls have
been. This system or machine
seems to rule every election on
campus.
Neither is this system of one
party politics peculiar to this or
any other campus. Almost the
same system has been in effect
in the Soviet Union since the
Communists took over the gov­ernment.
They too have single
party politics.
What kind of training ground
is our school to be? Are we to be
taught to love our democratic way
of life or shall we be given a
demonstration in how to lose it?
Many of the independents (or
barbarians, if you will) on this
campus look to the fraternal or­ganizations
for leadership, and
with good cause. These groups
contain much of the cream of our
student body. These are the ones
who will probably be some of
the leaders of tomorrow. Let no
one be considered the best possible
choice for an office merely on
member of one of these organiza-the
grounds that he or she is a
tions and exclude all others from
consideration.
Let every person vote accord­ing
to his or her own convictions
and not just for a "ticket" that
someone else has decided upon.
Any time people will allow them­selves
to be herded to the polls
and told how to vote as though
they were sheep, they take the
chance of. electing a candidate
qualified only to govern sheep. If
one of these is elected, the people
will get what they deserve. They
will be, and should be governed
and treated like sheep.

Today's Women Invade Men's World;
3 Coeds Find A Niche In Vet School
BY GERALD STROUD
The women of today are be­coming
more active in fields and
occupations that were entirely in­habited
by the male sex not very
long ago. Yes, in many occupa­tions,
it's not a man's job any
more, because the men are find­ing
that women can do the job
just as well as they.
One of these fields is veterinary
medicine. Not long ago this was
a man's world of endeavor, but
now women have entered and
proven themselves capable. There
are 228 students majoring in Au­burn's
School of Veterinary Medi­cine.
Of these 228 students 225
are boys and three are girls.
Three girls among 225 boys.
Who are these three girls? Why
did they decide to enter veterinary
medicine? How do they like their
major? Do they ever feel out of.
place? What do these girls plan
to do when they graduate from
colloge?
Patsy Teer, who has lived in
Auburn all of her life, is a junior
in vet medicine. Billie Adels, a
senior, comes all the way from
Hollywood, Calif., to attend school
at Auburn. The third girl making
up this trio is Sarah Long, who is
in her first year of vet medicine.
All three girls decided to enter
vet medicine because of their love
for nature and animals. Sarah,
whose favorite subject in high
school was biology, has always
been interested in vet medicince.
Patsy has always enjoyed having
animals around her house. She
used to raise pure bred collies,
but has now begun raising para­keets
as a hobby. Vet medicine
students rooming at her house
also caused her interest in animals
to grow. Billie was majoring in
pre-medicine a few years ago, but
after being in the Merchant Ma­rines
and traveling extensively
around the world, she decided to
change te vet medicine.
Since these girls are so interest­ed
in animals, they have no
trouble at all enjoying their ma­jor.
This is proven by the excel­lent
scholastic record that they
hold. Probably one of the hardest
courses for these girls is "Re­straint
of Large Animals." In
this course, the bull has to be
taken down by the horns and held
while it is being worked on.
Patsy, Billie and Sarah seem to
have pretty strong stomachs to
be able to take the operating and
caring for the animals. Patsy r e ­marked,
however, that in certain
instances she did feel a little out
of place. All three girls agreed
that the boys welcomed their pres­ence
in the classroom rather than
resented them.
When Sarah and Billie graduate
from school they would like to
work in a small animal clinic in
a middle-sized town. Patsy would
like to work in a middle-sized
town with someone who has an
established practice.

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
The first thought that comes into our minds upon entering
college is, of course, marriage. But how many of us go about
seeking mates, as I like to call them, in a truly scientific manner?
Not many, you may be sure.,: T.W--- :.
So let us today make a scientific survey of die two principal
causes of marriage—personality need and propinquity.
Personality need means that we choose mates because they
possess certain qualities that complete and fulfill our own per­sonalities.
Take, for example, the case of Alanson Duck.
As a freshman Alanson made a fine scholastic record, played
varsity scrabble, and was president of his class. One would
think that Alanson was a totally fulfilled man. But he was not.
There was something lacking in his life, something vague and
indefinable that was needed to make his personality complete.
Then one day Alanson discovered wliat it was. As he was
walking out of his class in Flemish pottery, a fetching coed
named Grace Ek offered him a handsome red and white pack
and said, "Marlboro?"
« -"Yes!" he cried, for all at once he knew what he had been
needing to round out his personality—the hearty fulfillment of
Marlboro Cigarettes, the soul-repairing mildness of their fine
tobacco, the easy draw of their unparalleled filter, the ease and
convenience of their crushproof flip-top box. "Yes, I will take a
Marlboro!" cried Alanson. "And I will also take you to wife
if you will have me!"
"La!" she exclaimed, throwing her apron over her face. But
after a while she removed it and they were married. Today
they live happily in Baffin Land where Alanson is with an
otter-glazing firm and Grace is a bookie.
Propinquity, the second principal cause of marriage, simply
means closeness. Put a boy and a girl close together for a sus­tained
period of time and their proximity will certainly ripen
into love and their love into marriage. A perfect example is
the case of Fafnir Sigafoos.
While a freshman at Louisiana State University, Fafnir was
required to crawl through the Big Inch pipeline as part of his
fraternity initiation. He entered the pipe at Baton Rouge and,
alone and joyless, he proceeded to crawl north.
As he passed Lafayette, Indiana, he was agreeably surprised
to be joined by a comely girl named Mary Alice Isinglass, a
Purdue freshman, who, oddly enough, had to crawl through
the Big Inch as part of her sorority initiation.
Ww< teAlMmtit-ioiilt
Chatting amiably as they crawled through Ohio, Pennsyl­vania,
and New York State, Fafnir and Mary Alice discovered
they had much in common—like a mutual affection for licorice,
bobsledding, and the nonsense verse of Arnold Toynbee. When
they reached the Vermont border they were going steady, and
when they emerged from the pipe at Boothbay Harbor, Maine,
they were engaged.
After a good hot bath they were married and today they live
in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where Fafnir is in the weights and
measures department and Mary Alice is in the roofing game.
They have three children, all named Norman. ! 1988. M.i Sbulm»»
Propinquity is sure to mean love-when you put yourself
close to a pack of Marlboros, made tor your pleasure by the
sponsors of.this column.
Village Fair Grew From Open House Efforts
Prior to 1952, each of the var­ious
schools on campus had a
day during which they exhibited
to the campus community their
contributions to the college. These
days often conflicted, resulting in
a disjointed effort.
Dr. K. M. Autrey, a graduate of
Iowa State, was deeply interest­ed
in a plan for Auburn modeled
after Iowa State's Velshia. Dr.
Autrey and Dr. R. Y. Canon vis­ited
Iowa State during their Vel­shia
carnival and came back pre­pared
to do what they could to
help Auburn to form a similar
plan.
After a discussion with Presi­dent
Draughon, a committee was
set up to continue investigation.
This committee went to the Coun­cil
of Deans, which approved the
plan. The result of all the investi­gation
was the open house at Au­burn,
in 1952. During this open
house each school had the op­portunity
to show senior high
school students how they prepare
young adults to enter their prof­essions.
The whole idea of a concerted
effort such as Auburn's Open
House was received splendidly.
The entire state was made aware,
of API and its educational op­portunities.
Being the tremen­dous
success it was, Auburn Open
House was set Up for the follow­ing
year.' . .
In 1953, a new name was
adopted for Auburn's Open
House-Village Fair-playing on the
name The Loveliest Village of
the Plains. Ever since, the name
Village Fair has conveyed to the
people of the state both a time of
festivity and a chance to get a
good look at Auburn's education­al
facilities.
Village Fair has grown rapidly
in its seven years' existence until
now its popularity is spreading all
over the South. Through the co­operation
of the schools, the ad­ministration,
the Athletic Associ­ation,
the Alumni Association, the
student body and all the organi­zations
on campus, Village Fair
promises to be bigger and better
this year on its seventh birthday.

In Annual A-Day Battle
BY GEORGE WENDELL
Plainsman Managing Editor
It's the favored Blues and the underdog Orange in the
annual A-Day battle next Saturday in Cliff Hare Stadium.
The Blues have been picked as the pre-game favorite be­cause
they have five performers from last year's National
Championship team.
These five are Jerry Wilson,
Zeke Smith, Jackie Burkett,
Lloyd Nix and Tommy Lorino.
Of these five, Wilson has a l ­ready
been tabbed as a 'pre­season
All-American.
The proceeds from this battle
of the giants will, as usual, go
to the Auburn A-Club and to
the Auburn Band.
Although the Blue team ap­pears
the best on paper, it has
been proven in the past that
the underdog is always cap­able
of springing an upset.
And this year will be no ex­ception.
The Orange will have Bobby
Wasden, called by many of the
coaches "the m o s t improved
boy on the team;" Teddy Fo-ret,
an up-and-coming tackle;
Joe Leichtman and Mike Sim­mons,
who are battling it out
for the right end position; Bry­ant
Harvard and Johnny Kern,
both capable quarterbacks who
are ready and willing to take
over if Nix should falter or get
hurt; Bobby Lauder, who was
a sparkplug many times last
year and Ed Dyas, a Mobile
flash who is destined to go far
in the battle for the fullback
spot.
But the Blues have the ex­perience
and the depth.
They are manned with the
above mentioned five plus new
comers Jim Jeffery, Cleve Wes­ter,
Don Braswell, Leo Sexton,
Lamar Rawson and R o n n ie
Robbs. At the present Robbs
has the berth vacated by At­kins
all but sewed up.
The majority of the coaches
are under the impression that
the rosters are more evenly
matched than it seems.
A-Day will climax the Tiger's
Spring training. In regard to
spring practice Coach Jordan
commented, "It has been very
profitable to date, as there has
been a lot of improvement on
the part of the boys—and sev­eral
boys that we w e r e n ' t
counting on have proved them­selves
capable of playing some
football this fall."
Quite a few of the boys rate
superlative for their work in
spring training.
Leading runners: Rawson,
Harvard and Lorino.
L e a d i n g defenders; Smith,
Burkett, Wilson and Rawson.
Most improved backs: Har­vard,
Jimmy R e y n o l d s and
Jimmy Laster.
Most improved lineman: Bras-well,
Jeffery, Wasden and Os­car
Knox.
Most impressive sophomore
backs: Jimmy Pettus, Roy Bra­zil,
Dyas and Coley Cassedy.
Most impressive sophomore
linemen: Ken Rice, Leichtman,
Billy Wilson and G. W. Clapp.
Leading pass receivers: Bob­by
Lauder, Sexton and Wilson.
Game time for the annual
affair is 2 p. m .

probable starters listed f i r st
are:

Plainsman Sports Editor
A New Yorker who called himself O. Henry
once made the "suprise ending" famous. More
recently, a round man named Hitchcock admirably
• carries on the tradition right now on your TV
screen.
Both, it is generally conceded, were and are
note-worthy composers of the entirely unexpected
turn-about of events.
But they missed one, O. Henry, Hitchcbck and
the rest . . . and it's probably the best rags-to-riches,
come-from-behind (call it what you wish)
story of 'em all.
It's t!ie story of Auburn's basketball Tigers,
clasr. of. '57-'58.
There's considerable doubt as to wether anybody
could have penned one nearly so remarkable.
With only a 1-3 SEC mark 11 games from the
end, and seemingly out of the running, Joel
Eaves' Tigers became the darlings of their con­ference
by running up a season-ending 11-game
win streak and . almost chasing the erstwhile
champ—Kentucky off its throne.
Maybe a day-by-day, diary-like report on how
they did it would be a better way of telling the
story.
Chapter-by-chapter, here it is:
Nov. 1, 1957—Sparkplug guard Henry Hart lay
wincing on the Sports Arena floor with a torn
cartliage in his left knee, bringing with it not only
the obvious loss of his playmakng leadershp, but
also a serous morale problem.
Head man Eaves' graying head was getting gray­er.
Now he had to find a replacement for Hart in
addition to coming up with somebody at center.
Dec. 14—Tigers scored 10 points in first 20 min­utes,
were humiliated (52-37) by Miss. State's
rugged zone and Bailey Howell in finals of Birm­ingham
Classic.
Dec. 19-20—Still groggy from State knockout,
Tigers were ambushed by SMU, then Baylor in
BIG JUNIOR CENTER BILL GREGORY drives
past Kentucky's Johnny Cox for two of the nine
points he scored against the Wildcats this year.
Dallas and Waco.
Jan. 4-11, 1958—Lost to State again (70-42) and
Florida (90-66),- with a 71-51 win over Ole Miss
sandwiched between the two.
Jan. 18—It looked like the end of the road as
the Tigers crumbled in front of Alabama, went
1-3 in SEC play.
And thus, with poor shooting, little rebounding
and no center, began the second installment; the
much prettier one, by far.
Jan. 22—Center Bill McGriff, forward Terry
Chandler came out of hiding with unexpected r e ­bounding
to pace their mates to an 80-72 win over
undefeated Georgia Tech. It was a non-conference
thing, but still possibly the biggest win in Auburn
history.
Jan. 25—Stomped Georgia, 90-62, Columbus,
with McGriff, Chandler still ably aiding Frederick
with the rebounding load.
Feb. 1-10—Came back home after 30-day ab­sence,
proceeded to knock off Vanderbilt (77-69),
Tech (99-78), Georgia (75-73) and Florida (76-69)
within 10 days. Tech coach "Wack" Hyder re­marked
that Auburn could outurn and maybe
beat Kentucky, so the pressure began to mount
in expectation of the upcoming Tiger-Wildcat
clash in Birmingham at month's end.
Feb. 22—Coming down the home stretch, Tigers
saw a desired goal near at hand, moved, into sec­ond
place with 72-64 conquest of title-hopeful
Tennessee.
Feb. 24—Gregory, who'd averaged two points
per game during the win streak, socked in nine
during the last eight hectic minutes against Ken­tucky
in Eirmingham to shock Adolph Rupp's
league-leaders, 64-63. It left the Tigers with a
mathematical chance for a tie for the crown.
March 1—With one ear toward Knoxville and
the Vol-Wildcat battle that could give them a
share of the title, Auburn beat off a last-minute
rush by Alabama to win on Frederick's last-second
fielder, 67-65.,
It would have been such a much nicer sotry
If the Wildcats had lost and Auburn could have
won Its first SEC championship in history.
Sadly, for the Tigers, that was asking a little
too much . . . the surprise endings had run their
course.
But if there's a sports-watching gentleman
around who's unhappy with the fact, let there be
a reminder:
Auburn's Tigers were 1-3 and given up for
lost back on the eighteenth of January, year of
nineteen-hundred and fifty-eight.
. . . Just in case somebody forgot.

In Season Finale
Playing inspired basketball,
Auburn's freshmen closed their
1957-58 season last Saturday
night in Montgomery with a
82-73 victory over the yearlings
from Alabama. The Baby Tig­ers
completely outplayed and
outhustled the towering Tides-men
whose average height is
three inches more than the
Tigers.
Auburn jumped off to an
early lead and at halftime
owned a 38-37 advantage. The
second half saw the frosh com­bine;
-team play and' great re- $
bounding to pull away from
Alabama.
Tommy Henderson, 6-5 center
from Birmingham, led the scor­ing
with 23 points. Following
him were Joe Woods with 17,
Gerald Smith with 15, and Por­ter
Gilbert with 14 markers.

Wrestlers Do It Again
As Seven Receive Medals
BY JAY GRANDY
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach "Swede" Umbach
and his m a t m e n have done
i t again. For t h e twelfth
straight year the T i g e r s
have captured the South­e
a s t e r n Intercollegiate
Wres 11 i n g Championship.
With this performance (they
scored 94 p o i n t s ) , t h e P l a i n s ­men
ended one of their
greatest seasons.
Following the Tigers were
Chattanooga 59, Sewanee *51*
Maryville 36, and -&T$iry'jjj35$
In rolling up its 94 point total
Auburn captured seven first
places and two third places.
Gerald Cresaps, Bob Mason,
and Arnold Haugen. captured
titles in their divisions for the
second consecutive year. Cre­saps
pinned Don Sears of Emory
in the 130 pound division, and
Mason, only senior on the squad
retained his title by a decision
over Walter Stack, 137 pound
c a p t a i n of the Chattanooga
squad.
Haugen, 157-pound champ in
'57, moved into the 167 division
and had little trouble in cap-turning
another title. Other Au­burn
champs were Leonard Og-burn,
147-pound, Marx Bran-num,
177-pound, George Mc-
Crary, 123-pound, and Pat Tid-more,
191-pound.
E m o r y Kirkwood and Ken
Green placed third in the 157
and Heavyweight classes, res­pectively.
Coach Umbach is due a vote
of appreciation for the fine job
he has done in the past. Taking
boys who for the most part
have done little competitive
wrestling, he has produced a
championship team for Auburn
for 12 consecutive years. This
season's squad was outstanding,
but with most of its members
| being sophomores and juniors,
0 next year's squad - s h o u l d
prove to be even more out­standing.

Position-by-position:
PITCHING—Could very eas­ily
be the best in conference if
sophs come through. McGowen
considers Roberts the best new­comer
he's ever had, and that
includes the Braves' Wynton

are the only losses from

was one of the best in SEC

The final three games of the fraternity basketball tour­nament
took place last week. On Tuesday night AP and KS
played a close game all the way. At the half time the score
Was tied 21-21. It stayed comparatively this close through­out
most of the game until KS finally pulled away in the
last quarter to win by a mar­gin
of 44-38 and drop AP from
the playoffs.
This left only KS and SPE
to fight for the top place po­sition
in fraternity basketball.
KS had previously lost to SPE,
but since this was a double
elimination tournament another
game was played on Wednes­day
night.
. The entire game was a nip and
tuck contest and looked as if it
could go either way.
However, KS emerged vic­torious
by a score of 48-46. At
the end of the first quarter the
scoreboard flashed 10 points
for SPE and 12 for KS. During
the second per­iod
each team
made the same
amount of point
as in the first
so the score
was 24-20.
At one time
during the gamej
the KS's gained
an 8 point mar­gin,
but ' the
SPE's soon took up the slack
to tie the score. The two high*
est scorers of the game were
Tom Stull, KS, who made 11
points and Joe Sparks, SPE, who
had i0 points.
Each of these teams had then
lost one game, so a third game
had to be played on Thursday
night.
Throughout this game tension
mounted in both the players
and spectators. T h i s contest,
like the two preceeding it was
hard fought but it was SPE
w h o was on the big e n d
of the score when . the final
buzzer sounded.
The first place winner, SPE,
not only received a beautiful
trophy, but 200 points as well.
Second place winner,' KS, re­ceived
a smaller trophy and 180
points. AP was third and they
get 160 points and 140 points
was awarded SC as the fourth
place winner.
independents and dorm teams
are in the midst of their bas­ketball
tournament, too. League

Feeling's Mutual Between
Tigers And Their Coach...
What's the story BEHIND the Auburn basketball story so
weakly—but sincerely—presented on the pages across the way?
No sports writer could tell it; and do it justice, that's for sure.
And doubt remains here that anybody knows exactly what turned
a badly Shaken basketball team into the best in the Southeastern
Conference within six weeks' time.
It's that big . . . and that puzzling. •"- •
But the author, Joel Eaves—who still admits he can't figure it
out himself—had a few suggestions last week as his men prepared
for the final, long stride down the comeback path.
Like anything else the commander of Tiger tactics has ever
said, they were worth utmost consideration.
Listen:
"I believe the way those seniors (Bobby Tucker, Terry Chandler,
Bill McGriff) came through'had a lot to do with it," began Eaves.
"It's obvious that their play helped us statistically . . . but
probably the most important thing about their coming through was
the way it inspired the rest of the boys.

"But when Hart had to be held out, Bobby took over and played
fine ball in his place all year. Then all of a sudden1 Terry and Bill

It has to be added, if. it's necessary, that the win streak that's

But there was more, and this time' Eaves implied determination
—plain courage—on the part of all involved.
"I just don't see how any­body
could have taken the pun­ishment
these boys had to go
through. First, it was that loss
to Mississippi State in Birming­ham
(52-37, scoring 10 points
in first half).
"We were just beginning to
come around when they beat
us. That loss knocked the boys
flat on the floor and, honestly,
they were beginning to wonder
if they'd, ever win again.
"Then we went out to Texas
and lost a couple more, plus
Shot Johnston, right before the
SEC season began.
"All of that, mind you," as- •
serted Eaves, "after losing Hart
before the season even opened."
And on that point, the gentle­man
had to dwell.
"Answer this for me, will
ydu? . . . How would Tech have
done without (Buddy) Blemker,
or Alabama without (Jack)
Kubiszyn or Florida without
(Joe) Hobbs?"
"That's what (Henry) Hart
meant to us, and I'm protid as
I can be of the way the boys
shrugged it off and went on
without him."
A point well taken, coach . . .
the question needs no answer,
I'm sure.
And most certainly, there was
one,reason for Tiger success—

Joel Eaves failed to mentions
The coach had something to
do with it, also.

And I've never seen a man so proud of his youngsters as the
graying gentleman who doggedly preached, night after night dur­ing
the rugged basketball season just ended, "I KNOW we're a good
ball club."
Through the thick and the thin—the loss of key players, long
road trips and "home' games away from home—never was there
a note of surrender from the Auburn coach.
And maybe he doesn't know it, but there's one thing I've
found to be a fact. . . .
Auburn's Tigers are proud of their coach, too.

YOUNG REBUILDS NET TEAM;
GOLFERS OPEN SEASON SOON
Auburn's tennis Tigers take to the courts March 24 to battle
the Troy .State team for their opening match of the '58 season.
The tilt is only a little over two weeks away, but Coach Luther
Young's netmen have only practiced about three days. Finals and
then spring holidays will keep the team from getting in a full
week's work before its first encounter. Already a month behind,
the Tigers have had to concede to "Ole Man Winter."
Coach Young has a rebuilding job to do. Auburn has not been
able to muster a better than average SEC team in two years.
Phillip Adams, up-and-coming in '55 and No. 1 man for the
netmen in '56, has returned from the army a more powerful player,
says Young. Howell Hagan and Bill Heally, both returnees to school
and the Auburn tennis team, lettered in '55 and '56 respectively.
Ed Miller and Bobby Jackson, returning from last season, have
played together since high school days in Anniston where Miller
won several prep honors on the courts. Tom Purser also returns
from the '57 squad.
Bill Wilson lettered at Woodlawn in '56 and played against two
of the state's best tennis players, Carlton Cook and Jim Higgen-botham.
Cook was No. 1 man the past two years at Howard, which
has one of the best tennis squads in the south.
Jim Davis and Jack Rice were teammates at Phillips last spring
and Tommy Sapp and John Henry played together at Murphy of
Mobile. Wilson Farrell from Columbia, S. C, has been fighting the
weather for two weeks and is proving to be boy with a lot of skill
and determination at the game. George Bagwell from Lanier
rounds off an extra-good looking bunch of frosh netmen.
Coach Bill Park and the Auburn golfers have been hampered
by bad weather also. "We hope to make a good showing against
Tech on the 28," states Park.
ference strongpoints include
Florida State and South Caro­lina.
Noteable absentees among the
Auburn ranks are Jimmy Phil­lips,
Ellsworth Richter, Bill
Yarbrough, and H a w t h o r n e
Wesley who finished their ca­reers
last season.
There are ten lettermen re­turning
to the squad who will
form the necleus for this year's
contender. The present lineup
has Hollingsworth, Huie, and
Ballanger running the 100;
Waldrip and Allen in the 220
and 440; Krebs and Stull in
the 880; Parker running the
mile; Tuggle, Johnson, and Hall
in the two mile; Calhoun and
Jones in the high hurdles; Cal­houn
and Hutchinson in the
pole vault; Jones, Wammack,
and Walker in the high jump;
Hollingsworth, Acker and Mc-
Rae broadjumping; Sharpe and
Simmons in the shot put and
discus; Wall and Waugh throw­ing
the javelin.

WHAT'S YOUR LINE?
DU PONT NEEDS ALL
KINDS OF ENGINEERS
DuPont has always needed chem­ists
and chemical engineers, and
still does. But today, there's critical
need for engineers in almost every
other field—civil, mechanical, elec­trical,
instrumental and industrial
engineering, to name a few.
Expansion is the major reason, j
In 1957, for example, sales at |
DuPont were nearly two billion
dollars. Four new plants were being
built. New research programs were
being launched. New products were
moving into the production and
marketing stages. Engineers and
scientists of all kinds work in 75
Du Pont plants and 98 laboratories
in 26 states. All of this tends to
broaden opportunities for the young
scientist and engineer at DuPont.
If you're interested in finding
full scope for your ability, and this
includes a great many special fields,
DuPont offers you plenty of oppor­tunity
to move ahead.
SEND FOR INFORMATION BOOKLET

by
John Reid
DuPont
Representative
When you join DuPont as a J
scientist or engineer, you're
given an actual project assign- ,
ment almost at once and begin |
to learn your job by doing it. j
That's the essence of our train- I
ing philosophy at Du Pont. I
Our objective is to give you .
responsibility at the outset and i
qualify you quickly for more, j
because the more we grow, the j
more we need trained leaders. I
Although there is no one ,
training program at DuPont j
(each of our many depart- j
ments runs its own), all have j
several basic features in com- I
mon. All are personalized— 1
tailored to the new man's bach-ground
and interests. All in­volve
close supervision on an j
informal, day-to-day basis, j
And all permit periodic evalu- j
I ation of the new man. I
This flexible system helps
• the new man to move ahead •
j according to his abilities. He j
| gels to know Du Pont and his j
j job quickly. He gets a head- j
I start on future responsibility. I
You probably have questions .

Means More Security,
Greater Real Income
To Young Graduates
DuPont believes that the employee
builds his own job security by the
way he does his work, by his contri­butions
to the progress of the Com­pany
and by his readiness to accept
responsibility.
But DuPont meets the employee
more than halfway with a program
of benefits designed to help him as
he advances.
"four employee benefits go to work
the day you join the Company. They
grow and build equity for you as the
years go by. Vacations, life insurance,
group hospital and surgical coverage,
accident and health insurance, pen­sion
and bonus plans are all part of
the program.
Let's look at a special example, the
Thrift Plan. You become eligible for
it after one year with the Company.
For each dollar you invest in U. S.
Savings Bonds, the Company contrib­utes
twenty-five cents toward the pur­chase
of Du Pont common stock in
your name. Roughly 65 per cent of
the Company's 90,000 employees are
now participating in the plan.
When you're deciding on a career,
security is only one consideration.
But it's an important one to you and
your family. At Du Pont, security is
a bright part of the future awaiting
the college graduate.
More than 700 of the some 1100
degree-granting colleges and universi­ties
in the U. S. are represented at
Du Pont Of these 700, more than half ,
are the smaller liberal arts colleges.
