Exchange reopens today under
Langdon Hall steps to serve the
students of API. With a new
record system and expanded fa­cilities

the book is sold, his money is
mailed to him by check. A ten
percent fee -is deducted to cover
handling and operational ex­penses.
This exchange cannot operate
effectively unless second-hand
books are available. Students are
urged to bring in the books that
they wish to sell early to assure
that they are sold next quarter.
The exchange will be open dur­ing
the following hodrs:
March 13-15—9 a. m. 'til 11:30
a. m. and 1 p. m. 'til 4 p. m.

United Nations Speaker Urges API
To Take Part In UN Youth Program
"We live in an age in which
nuclear weapons could destroy the
world," said Allard Lowenstein,
field secretary for the Collegiate
Council for the United Nations.
Mr. Lowenstein was speaking
before a joint meeting of the Stu­dent
Senate and cabinet in the
Union Building last Wednesday.
"This nuclear threat places
greater emphasis on the United
Nations" and on "economic meas­ures"
in an attempt to preserve
world peace, stated Lowenstein.
He further pointed out the
strides being made by Commu­nism,
especially among the peo­ples
of the Far East.
Lowenstein laid the blame for
the spread of the Communist doc­trine
to the lack of concern of
the American people for other
peoples of the world. He placed
the responsibility of meeting, the
challange of Communism on the
students of the free world.
He urged API's student gov­ernment
to sponsor a group in
the CCUN, and to take an active
interest in world problems. Low­enstein
justified student govern­ment's
taking the initiative in or­ganizing
such a group here at
API. He termed it the respon­sibility
of student government to
get behind programs to meet in­adequacies
in social life, in sports
program or in an area of student
participation such as the CCUN
program.
Lowenstein pointed out that no
colleges in the state are repre­sented
in the United Nations in­ternational
youth programs. He
called on Auburn to take the lead
in- this field within the state in
order to keep pace with other
schools such as North Carolina
and Georgia Tech, and to insure
that opinions of the southern stu­dents
are heard .on such vital
points as the race question.
The UN speaker urged individ­uals
interested in the national
youth program to attend a stu­dents'
institute at the United Na­tions
in June. Persons interested
in attending the Institute were
asked to contact Allan Hale for
details.

Dining Hall Has
New Lounge Added
For Coeds'Comfort
Something new has been added
to the Women's Dining Hall in
the way .of a very modern and
completely furnished lounge. Lo­cated
on the right side of the
front entrance, the lounge is
solely for the enjoyment of Au­burn's
women students and their
guests.
Plans for the lounge werexbe-gun
in 1953 by a committee com­posed
of Mr. Paul Henry; assis­tant
business manager; Kathe-rine
Cater, dean of women;
Katharine Rush, food director.
The Auburn Alumni paid half
the cost and the Dining Hall paid
half the cost for the set up and
furnishing of the lounge., The
Alumni Association also gave a
TV set to the lounge. *;.
Equipped with striking, black
and white card tables and fur­nished
in a color scheme to:har­monize
with the grey walls, the
lounge is open all hours the din­ing
hall is open.;
Mrs. Pittman, i dietician, urges
all Auburn coeds to take advan­tage
of this new addition, hoping
they will find it a place of com­fort
and relaxation. ' .••.-'•

Greek Coeds Lack Spirit
Village Fair is close upon us and with
it comes the thoughts of bright streamers,
crowds and in g&tieraj; a catnicai atmos­phere.
One of the daytime highlights of
the festive occasion is the traditional pa­rade
of floats entered by dormitories and
Greek organizations.. , . -...••
In the past, however, sororities have
had little other to do with the parade than
the contribution of coed talent to embel­lish
the floats with _that little additional
touch -of 1-femininity. Perhaps this year
would-be an ideal time for the quadrangle
Greek groups to get into; the spirit of
things with a few floats of their own.
Decorative projects and other activi­ties
taken; on by the, sororities have been
steadily dwindling in the past few years.
Though Pahhellenic Skit Night and Sphinx
Sing have been divided between sororities
so that each. group now only enters one
each year. Only small door decorations are
made for homecoming. In reality the only
decorative project remaining for sororities
is the "Burn the Bulldog" pep rally. Along
with Sphinx Sing or. Skit .Night,this gives
them just two big projects for the year,
Fraternities, on the other hand, enter
house decorations for homecoming. They
enter a float in the Pajama Parade. They
enter i>oth Skit Night and Sphinx Sing.
" Village Fair brings mt•another ffrrntrA 11
this in addition to the operation of a house
and kitchen. .
Sorority spirit has fallen off with the
decline in activities. It is about time some­thing
was done about it. Panhellenic Coun­cil
has the responsibility of coordinating
sorority work to improve the overall at­mosphere
among Greek coed groups on
the-campus, \ . ;
W>e are merely suggesting that the
girls enter floats' in the parade .this year.
Panhellenic could take the idea on as a
project to' not only help the sorority girls
to pull together with a greater feeling of
spirit. and pride among themselves, but
also to contribute of their time and ener­gies
to help make Village Fair a morfe
I colorful occasion this year.
•' . Village Fair is the biggest public re­lations
venture taken on by the student
body each year. In order to make it the
grfeat success it should-be, it is necessary
that,'everyone here do his share. We hope
, to see, Panhellenic and all the sororities
pitch in anS pull on the ropes as others
are doing...'
Chance To Save Cash
A service' which all too few students
know about is opening up today in the
basement of. Langdon Hall. Alpha Phi
Omega has been operating a used book
exchange at the beginning of each quarter
for some time now and this quarter will
be no exception. The purpose of the store
is to allow students to get a better deal in
used books.
Although book stores in town handle
used books they have a considerable over­head
to meet and this shows up in a rela:
tively large* mark-up fr6m buying price
to selling price. The result is that the stu­dent
selling a used book text gets less for
his book and the student buying pays
more.
A Phi O has eliminated much .of the
operating cost for a book exchange. The
result is only a ten percent mark-up from
buying to selling price. This goes entirely
to operating and handling costs as ho pro­fit
at all is realized by a Phi O.
The procedure is simple. Anyone wish­ing
to sell a used book brings it to the ex­change
and turns it over to, the service
honorary along with a statement of the
asking price. Then, when the book is, sold
at the exchange for this price a Phi O
mails a check for the asking price less
ten per cent to the individual who brought
in the book originally.
We would like to see' the exchange
continue to grow as it has been doing in
the past. However, in order to obtain such
growth th eexchange needs more used
books. We hope to see everyone take ad­vantage
of this opportunity to save that
hard earned cash and buy and sell at the
APhi O Book Exchange.
Skit Nignt Suggestions
With Auburn's annual Skit Night, 1957
edition, still fresh in the minds of most
of the spectators and participants, it is
fitting to propose a change in the presen­tation
of the event that has possibilities
of doing even greater justice to the effort
entailed in the production of the perform­ance.
Realizing that Skit Night is presented
for the purposes of providing entertain­ment

another field of competition for the frater­nities
and sororities, we offer the follow­ing
suggestion to you, the Auburn students
and faculty, the ones for whose benefit
the program is presented, for your con­sideration
and possible adoption through
the sponsoring organizations.
A synopsis should be submitted, with
the^title, of the script of each entry, at
least three weeks before the skits are pre­sented
in preliminary eliminations of all
but the top four fraternities and top four
sororities. This would e n a b l e the Skit
Night committee to check for duplication
of theme, content and title. If such dupli­cation
occurred, priority would be given
the entry submitted first.
The information eliminations would
be held at least two weeks previous to the
finals and would not include costuming
or -large props. Only the judges, different
from those in the finals, would be present
as each group presents its skit, factors on
Which the entries would be judged, as they
are at present, are originality, humor, con­tinuity
of theme, presentation and variety
with the points' allocated in, accord with
importance... i . (rrf,vVi -•--.i*s -
-Those selected for the finals would
then have two weeks in which to prepare
costumes and props as well as to put the
finishing touches on their skitsgirr respect
to presentation, that is, dancfeVroUtiries,
delivery and the like. Thus, the unsuccess­ful
entries.would not have to bear the ex­pense
of costuming and stage props, com­petition
in the finals would be keener, the
general caliber of performance would be
raised 'thus adding to the entertainment
of the spectators and the performance
could be staged in one evening, rathpr than
being spread out over two which has de­cided
disadvantages.
Details for such a scheme as we. have
offered could be easily devised. The'suc­cess
of similar skit night programs on
other campuses is evidence enough of its
practicality. Submission of entries elimi­nations
and finals for the eight top groups
are the three phases of the proposed plan
which has been submitted-for the benefit
of spectator and participant alike. A& Au­burn
grows and improves, so also; may Au­burn's
Skit Night grow'f'6 new heights
fostered by an interested and enthusiasti­cally
contributive student body.

Letters To The Editor
Russell Draws Fire
For Criticism Of
Professor's Letter
Dear Editor:
I was most interested in a letter
to the editor that appeared in the
Feb. 27 Plainsman written by a
Roy Otis Russell Jr. Upon reading
his letter I was impressed by his.
example of a "logical solution"
eoTitained therein.
By way of explanation, perhaps
I should say that two weeks ago
Prof. Hutchinson wrote an im­partial
explanatory letter to The
Plainsman concerning the method
used for redistributing New York
City school children.
Because of this letter, Roy Otis ,
Russell Jr. seems to have come to
the conclusion that Professor
Hutchinson should leave Auburn.
Mr. Russell makes one woffder if
he wouldn't have all instructors
leave that attempted to supply
him ;with information.
I chanced to look up Mr. Rus­sell's'
name in the API Student
Directory thinking that he was
a first quarter freshman who had
taken no English 102, but I
found to my surprise that he is a
graduate student. I had thought
that graduate students were sup­posed
to be logical thinkers, but
if this Roy Otis Russell Jr. and
his "logical solution" is an ex­ample
of tlje average graduate
student in the United States,
heaven help us because Roy Otis
Russell Jr. certainly isn't pre­pared
to help us. I choose to think
instead that this Roy Otis Russell
Jr is not an example of an aver­age
graduate student.
Perhaps if someone shines a
bright light on Mr. Russell and his
idea,, he wil go .away and we can
pretend that he never existed at

Right To Express
Individual Views
Dear Editor:
I feel that Roy Otis Russell's
letter last week was entirely" un-
'fair and uncalled for. It is a sad
thing anywhere, much less at a
college, when a person can't
honestly express his views with­out
some small minded person de­manding
that he be fired.
" Every person has a right tor
think and speak his opinion as"
Mr. Hutchinson did, no matter
what the subject, and if Russell
does disagree he should do so on
a level of decency.
Since Russell is unwilling to al­low
others their1 freedom of ex-
-pression, perhaps he might be
happier as a road gang foreman
or a dog trainer.
Sincerely, f
Murry Echols
Elmer McSween bit his nails
and worried and tossed in his
sleep at night. Finals were ap­proaching.
Elmer was not wor­ried
about all of'his courses—he
had a high average in basket-weaving,
was outstanding in
courtship and marriage, and was
h o l d i n g his
own in social
dance. No, El­mer
was not
wprried about
these things, he
bit his nails
and w o r r i ed
and tossed over
ROTC.
Neither b y
choice or chance, but rather as
fate would have it, Elmer was in
the Navy ROTC. He had tried
the Army ROTC, but his feet
hurt so when he walked he took
on the appearance of a wounded
elephant. All his comrades in
arms snickered in ranks and
called him "hopalong;" and he'
never could learn to move quite
fast enough in closing the bolt of
his Ml after "inspection arms."
After only five drill periods,
Elmer withdrew from the Army
with fallen arches and a busted
thumb.
Next' Elmer joined the Air
Force ROTC. He. liked it fine
while studying "air foils" and "di­hedral
angles" and he coufd have
set- and watched for hours while
the instructor demonstrated with
a toy balloon how a jet engine
worked. But one day his instruc­tor
showed combat films of a
plane twisting and turning and
diving so that Elmer, whose stom­ach
gave him trouble even on a
merry-go-round, ran out of his
third floor class-room and down
the stairs to be sick in the men's
room on the first floor of Broun.
Elmer had only one alternative
left, he signed up for the NROTC.
Although Elmer had never seen
the ocean, he was quite sure that
he would like the Navy; he had
seen lots of motion pictures and '
knew that the sailor's life was
primarily a series of leisurely
cruises through the islands of the
South Pacific—with beautiful,
dark skinned native girls lining
the water's edge to welcome the
voyagers. And too, Elmer had al­ways
liked the restful blue-green
waters of the ocean with white
spray-tipped waves as he re­membered
them from the Atlan- '
tic Beer and Ale advertisements.
Elmer was also amazed at the
technological advances that the
Navy had made and he was sure
that with radar, guided missies,
loran, and ship-to-shore tele­phone;
the Navy with its floating
airfield theory of mobile striking
force capable of hitting anyplace
in the world—would be complete­ly
obsolete in the next war. Elm­er
liked the secure feeling this
gave him and felt good every time
he thought about it. • m
Everything was fine for Elmer
except the quizzes. He would be­gin
reading a question and before
he could finish, would change his
mind several times about the
answer. He studied hard, memo­rized
answers to possible com­pletion
and true-false questions,
and of course He memorized ans­wers
to multiple choice questions.
All this was to no avail. As
usual Elmer changed his mind
about the answer to a question
several times before he could
finish reading it, and every time
he read back through the ques­tion,
the answers all changed
again. The question seemed to
have so many different meanings
that Elmer became so confused
thai he jumped up from his desk,
dashed down the stairs, lept on
his bicycle and began pedaling
toward Opelika. Elmer pedaled out
the Opelika-Auburn highway,
through the outskirts of Opelika
and up to the bus station. He
turned left at the corner and rode
right, on past the Green Front
Store (an obstacle that would
have stopped a less determined
man than Elmer) and pulled up
before a dimly lit building in the
middle of the block. He raced up
a flight of st.airs and disappeared
into the darkness of the building.
Several rftjnutes later Elmer
emerged beaming and happy —
he had joined the French Foreign
Legion!
Because of the military ex­perience
he had gained in college,
Elmer was assigned immediately
as an instructor for the FFLROTC
in Nelms, France, and he remains
there to this day, content to live
the simple life of an instructor
and while away the hours think­ing
up test questions that the stu­dents
will find impossible to in­terpret.

OUTDOOR LORE
Spin-Fishing Is Sporting
When spinning equipment real­ly
became mass produced and
threatened to make the bait-casting
a thing of the past, the
question arose as to whether
spinning was truly sporting or'
not'. With the geared drag ad­justments
on spinning reels, it
seems that the dyed-in-the-wool
bait casters thought a hooked fish
was a caught fish. Spin-fishermen
were accused of letting the reel do
all of the work. I was one of the
accusers, until I skeptically used
..^.spinning outfit one day. From
that day to this, I have been a
spin-fisherman.
A spinning outfit for fresh
water should be as light as pos­sible,
taking into consideration the
quarry to be sought. Naturally,
the lighter the outfit, the greater
chance a hooked fish has to get
free. This element brings keener
sport and excitment into the con­test.
One will usually get more
strikes oh lighter tackle than on
heavier also, for lighter lines are
harder to detect and allow bait,
be it artificial or natural, a great­er
freedom of movement.
For typical Alabama bass fish­ing,
monofilament and braided
spinning lines of four and six
pound test are sufficient. * Oc­casionally
an eight pound test line
may be needed in waters where
cover is over abundant. The heav­ier
line will save fish and equip­ment,
but at the expense of
greater sport; Lighter 'linesyafford
greater casting ease and longer
casts, plus a more natural bait ac­tion,
as mentioned. Spinning
spools will hold greater capacities
of lighter lines also. Although
lines of more than 150 yards are
seldom needed for freshwater
Alabama fishing, there may arise
occasions for use of longer lines.
Loss of casting distance through
friction between spool and lighter
lines can be avoided by the use
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
of backing, however. Thus there
is no danger in using light lines on
spools of more than adequate
capacity.
For panfish, lines of four, two,
and one-and-one-half pound' tests
are sufficient and afford the
fisherman fascinating: c a s t i n g
ease. Such casting ea^e is highly
important when small weighted
flies, and tiny spinners or spin­ner-
fly combliations are in use.
Light natural baits such as red-worms
and wigglers, crickets,
small crawfish, -etc. can be easily
and accurately casted by them­selves,
or with the help of a tiny
BB shot sinker.
Another .important factor that
has much bearing orwsmooth cast­ing,
is the filling of ffiSpool. Spools
should not be fillea, nor should* *
they be insufficiently filled. Dia­grams
and information concern­ing
spool filling can be obtained
at any tackle store.

White Students Become Discrimination Victims
• Thirty-nine Negro graduate stu­dents
have registered at Louisiana
State University under the re­cent
fjederal court order which
directs LSU to admit Negroes
without eligibility certificates.
Louisiana recently passed legis­lation,
similar to laws passed by
other southern states attempting
to preserve segregations, requir­ing
all persons entering state uni­versities
to have certificates of
eligibility.
This law has been declared null
and void in regard to Negroes
seeking admittance,, but at least
jjOf
200 white students have been
blocked from registering because
they do not have certificates of
eligibility.
LSU Registrar Albert Clary Jr.
said, "We are simply carrying out
the state law. Anybody without
the certificates will hot be ac­cepted
for registration."
Of the 39 Negroes who have
registered this semester, all but
two lacked, certificates. The two
obtained their certificates from
out of state, according to the LSU
Daily Reveille.
Now, who are the victims of

discrimination in this situation?
The universities and colleges of
Budapest, breeding ground of the
October anti-Communist revolt,
reopened quietly this month.
Communist police i na series of
raids, arrested "counter-revolu­tionary"
students and seized hid­den
stores of weapons in dormi­tories
and basements.
Lectures were resumed just
three months after Russian tanks
attacked Budapest to crush the
rebellion that the students had
done so much to inspire.
The reopening was accompanied
by a warning1 from Gyiila Kalai,
member of the Communist party's
executive committee, that "every
attempt by counter-revolutionary
- students or teachers to disturb the
restoration of order will be ruth­lessly
smashed."
Only 90 per cent of the normal
student body are back at school.
Many of the absent 10 per cent
are dead.
Cheating during an exam is a
serious offense at McGill Uni­versity
in Montreal, Canada. A
student caught cheating (crib­bing)
on a regTilar examination is
expelled. He can NEVER be re­admitted
to McGill nor elsewhere,
according to the McGill Daily. The
Daily's editorial expressed its
opinion on cheating thusly:
"Cheating is just like speeding in
an automobile. You risk your life
when you do either."
She: I want a man who can
hold me close to him liwe Brando,
who can kiss like Victor Mature,
who can make my blood boil like
Rock Hudson, who can breathe
fire into my body and soul like
Frank Sinatra. Can you give me
all that?
He: I'm afraid not, but I can
bite like Lassie.

isn't a Policeman!
You've heard it said that Episcopalians are "liberal"
— that they and their Church don't take a firm stand.
on the subject of sin. That's quite a long way from
true.
To an Episcopalian, sin isn't a long list of don'ts.
It's a matter of not obeying God's will for us. We
see His will most clearly in the Summary of the Law
as expressed by our Lord Jesus Christ when He said,
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment. And the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the
law and the prophets." i
To us, the religion which forbids all pleasure as
sin is the variety of religious legalism which Christ
condemned in the Pharisees. We can't visualize God
as a policeman, walking his beat watching to see if
we break some little law.
We know that, only, with His help, can we ap­proach
the standards set by God. So we try. And
when'we gather to worship Him on Sunday, we ask
forgiveness for our sins and strength to try again.

Eaves Terms '57 Season 'Colorful/
Next Year's Prospects Seem Bright
' Despite a pulse-pounding 81-79 loss to Alabama in the
season finale Saturday night, the '56-'57 campaign can cer­tainly
be termed successful for what Coach Joel Eaves calls
the "most colorful" basketball quintet he has produced at
Auburn. Thirteen victories in 21 starts is a pretty good mark
for most any team, especially one with 4 sophomores among its first
six squad members. m
In all eight setbacks, the Plainsmen were in contention right up
until the final minutes . . . even in the eighteen-point defeat at the
hands of SEC champ Kentucky, the Villagers were within a couple
of points of the Wildcats until Henry Hart and Rex Frederick went
out on personal fouls with some six minutes to play. The Auburn
crowd did not lose in the Sports Arena and two of the losses on visit­ing
courts were in overtime. They had the lead at one time in
every game and in most of them had large early margins only to
be caught late in the contest. Losing such leads was typical of sop-omore
play and valuable experience was gained for the future. -
The youthful War. Eagles won the hearts of fans and the res­pect
of opponents wherever they played throughout the season,
giving people the kind of basketball they liked to see . . . a fast-breaking,
hustling squad from the opening tipoff . . . never
knowing when they were beaten. Coach Eaves in his own words
describes the '57 aggregation as "probably the fastest team I
have had and certainly the most interesting to watch."
They drew praise from every corner, especially from Lexington
and Charlotte where people loved them for battling favored teams
down to the wire by playing a running game—never slowing the
pace. Adolph Rupp called them "one hell of a ball club." In fact,
the all-out performance in Kentucky could well be pointed out in the
loss to Alabama last week . . . a let-down was eminent.
Only Captain Henry Sturkie and Thamas Coleman will be miss­ing
come another season and with some important lessons' learned
this year, the Tigers will undoubtedly be in the thick of the SEC title
race. Four starters, Hart, Frederick, Jimmy Lee, and Bill McGriff,
will return, and such talented reserves as Ty
Samples, Terry Chandler, Bobby Tucker, and J.
B. Bearden'will be around to scrap for the fifth
position and provide precious depth. ..
Also Bill Gregory, a 6-8 junior who was held
out this year, will be battling for a starting post.
Gregory, always a strong man on the boards, has
improved his other talents > while working with
the varsity in practice all season and is being
counted on rather heavily for '58.
The frosh will promote several promising
rtl prospects ,who could help considerably. The '57
squad boasted no highly regarded individual stars, but had good
overall team strength. Expected to be in competition for varsity berths
next season are "Shot" Johnson, a 6-5 center-forward from Ashland,
Jimmy Fibbe, 6-4 foward from Frankfort, Ky., Ray Groover, a 6-
foot guard from Quitman, Ga., Bayward McManus, a 5-8 guard from
Hamilton, Ga., Herbie Slayden, 6-2 forward from Columbus, Ga.,
and Jerry Hart, a 6-2 guard from Georgetown, Ga.
The '58 SEC slate will be the same as the past one except the
playing sites will be reversed. This could be somewhat advantage­ous
to Auburn in the light that the stronger teams, Vandy, Ken­tucky,
Tech, and Tennessee, will be met on home courts. And with'
talk of the SEC adopting a new rule forbidding league game'jptd"
be played on neutral floors, all the home games—including Ala­bama—
could possibly be forced into the Sports Arena. If such
a rule ^should ever be passed, the inadequacy of the Auburn
facilities would be made even more critical.
The SEC teams that were strong this year will likely be strong
again nexjt (year—taking only present varsity material into consider­ation.
However, if some team comes up with a trio of sophs such as
Auburn did this year, a team that appears weak now could well be
in the midst of the championship scrap.
Briefly glancing at n^xt year's prospects—and only considering
players who were first-line hands in '57—we find these facts:

So obviously the '57-'5a SEC cage season should be a most in­teresting
one . . . if Auburn only had a GYM . . . oh well . . .
Prep Stars Sign . . .
Recently signed to cage scholarships fey the Plainsmen were
Porter Gilbert, 6-0 guard from Geraldine, and Dave Vaughn 6-4
forward from Central High School of Chattanooga, Tenn. Both men
are hitting in the neighborhood of 26 points per game this season
and were sought after by a number of universities.
Bumper Crop of Sophomores . . .
Probably never before has the SEC seen so many sophomores
blossom into stardom in one season as did in '57. It just isn't often
that a group such as Bailey.. Howell of Miss. State, Johnny Cox of
Kentucky, Terry Randall and Buddy Blemker of Ga. Tech, Gary Stoll
of Tulane, Jim Henry of Vandy, Gene Tormohlen and Don Bingham
of Tenn.,. Fred Edmondson of Georgia, E. B. Hamner of Ala., and
Hart, Lee and Frederick of Auburn comes along at the same time.
Time Out . . .
Since taking over the reins of Auburn football in the spring
of 1351, the Ralph Jordan and Jeff Beard team has' compiled one
of the most outstanding grid marks in the nation. The first group
of recruits signed by Jordan and Beard graduated to the varsity in
1953 and since that time they have copped 30 decisions against
only 11 losses with an SEC mark of 16-9-2.
Conduct of basketball fans continue to get headlines: Bobby
Thym, the Vanderbilt captain, was recently quoted as saying, "I
would nominate Auburn fans as the worst. I've never seen anything
like it. They all but swing at the officials and opposing players."
Vandy partisans no doubt are blessed with halos. Jimmy "Red"
Phillips will be wed to majorette Mickey Kennedy March 16. Adolph
Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats have compiled a record of 210 victories
against only 24 setbacks in 25 years of SEC play—17 championships.

Professors practice what
they preach... arid vice versa
Following a practice of twenty years, Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft will again welcome a group of college pro­fessors
as members of the engineering staff during the
coming summer months.
Last year our "summer professors" represented col­leges
from coast to coast. They tackled important projects
in such diverse fields as instrumentation and vibration,
combustion, compressible flow, and materials develop­ment.
Despite the limited time available to. these men,
they made significant contributions to our overall effort.
Though it was to be expected that both the com­pany
and the participating professors might benefit di­rectly
from such a program, the sphere of influence
has been much broader. The many students who are
taught by these professors during the college year are
sharing the ultimate benefits . . . profiting from lectures
that are sparked by the kind of practical experience
that can be gained with a recognized industry leader
like Pratt & Whitney Aircraft.

I t ' s a scientific fact that girls reach emotional ma­turity
earlier than boys. For this reason freshman girls
decline to-make romantic alliances with freshman boys.
Thus, the freshman boys are left dateless, and many's
the night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep.
An equally damp—situation exists among upper-class
girls. With upperclassmen besng snapped up by freshman
girls, the poor upper-class girls are reduced to dreary,
manless evenings of Scrabble and home permanents.
There is a solution for this morbid situation — a very
simple solution! Why don't the two great have-not groups
find solace with one another?
True, there is something of an- age differential, but
that need not matter. Take the case of Albert Payson
Sigafoos and Eustacia Vye.
Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel at
Vanderbilt University, was walking across campus one
day, weeping softly in his loneliness. Blinded by tears,
he stumbled upon the supine form of Eustacia Vye, a
senior in wicker and r a f f i a , who was collapsed in a
wretched heap on the turf.
Me cMtet<3fyidMc[(lq<£tiie()iie.o-C4t-'
"Why don't you watch where you're going, you
squirt?" said Eustacia peevishly.
"I'm sorry, lady," said Albert Payson and started to
move on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspira­tion.
"Lady," he said, "you're miserable because you can't
get a date. So am I. So why don't we date each other?"
"Surely you j e s t ! " cried Eustacia, looking with scorn
upon his youthful head and body.
"Oh, I know I'm younger than you are," said Albert
Payson, "but that doesn't mean we can't find many splen­did
things to do together."
"Like what?" asked Eustacia.. s .'
"Well," said Albert Payson, "we could get a third and
play some one-o-cat."
"Bah!" said Eustacia, grinding her teeth.
"All right then," said Albert Payson, "we could go
down to the pond and skip some stones and maybe catch
a few frogs."
"Ugh!" said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length.
"How about some run-sheep-run?" he suggested.
"You are callow, green, and immature," said Eustacia,
"and I will thank you to absent yourself at once!"
Sighing, Albert Payson lit a cigarette and started
away;
"Stay!" cried Eustacia.
"Was that," she asked, "a Philip Morris you just l i t ?"
"What else?" said Albert Payson.
"Then you are not immature!" she cried, clasping
him to her clavicle. i'For to smoke Philip Morris is the
very essence of wisdom, incontrovertible proof that you
know rich, natural pleasure from pale, poor substitutes!
Albert Payson, I am yours!"
And today they are married and run one of the biggest
wicker and raffia establishments in Blue Earth, Minnesota.

As Dorm Tourney Ends
By BOB BLACK

F i r s t football and now basketball. The SPE's are two for
two in the major sports department, after defeating the
Pikes" in the fraternity basketball tourney last Thursday
night. •. • '• ' ' s W J I ' -
After last week's play the Pikes were in the finals
bracket waiting for the winneivof
the SPE-TC tilt. T:p' win the
tournament SPE orfr^C ' h^d'-^to
win three games. The Pikes' had
only to chalk up one more win
and it would be in the bag.
• What looked like the impos­sible
was done. The SPE's han­dled
the TC threat in a business
like manner defeating them
handily.
Tuesday night the undefeated
Pike machine met the SPE's in
a return engagement after the
first round tilt in which the
Pikes were the winners by a one'
point margin, 47-46. In the sec­ond
meeting of the finalists SPE
emerged victorious in the tense
low scoring battle, 36-34. Sparks
garnered 14. points of the 38
markers he put on the SPE score
chart during the two SPE-PKA
games. Wilson was next for SPE
with 10. Lemay took his usual
position as leading scorer for the
Pikes? -vvfth 13 counters.
Thisi.SPE win gave both teams
a 2-1 record for the tournament
and made necessary another
game.
Sparks took things in hand' in
this second battle Thursday night
dropping 24 points in the bucket
to lead the SPE to the 50-44 win
over the Pikes and the frater­nity
basketball championship.
The Pikes Lemay won high scbre

By JOHN BOEHL
Plainsman Sports Writer
S a t u r d a y ' n i g h t , Coach Bill Lynn's freshman ball-club
closed their season with a loss to t h e Bama Freshmen, 86-80.
This game was only t h e t h i r d loss f o r the Tigers in a 16^game
schedule which included not only Alabama, but Georgia Tech
and a number of sophomore laden junior college teams. No
losses occured while playing any
of these junior college teams.
The leading scorers for the
season were Manly "Shot" John­son,
a 6-6 forward from Ashland,
Alabama; Jim Fibbe, 6-4 for­ward
from Adolph Rupp's back­yard,
Frankfort, Ky.; and Ba-ward
McManus 5-8 guard from
Hamilton, Ga. Coach Lynn says
that both Johnson and Fibbe
have a very good chance of mak­ing
next year's varsity squad.
Incidently, Johnson was also the
leading rebounder.
Rounding, out the first squad
were Ray Groover, Quitman, Ala.;
Herbie Slayden, Columbus, Ga.,
and Jerry Hart, Eufaula, Ala.
Slayden is the brother of former
Auburn, basketball star, Kay
Slayden and Hart is Henry Hart's
cousin.
Coach Lynn ended his seventh

Linksters Begin 1957 Campaign
With Different Coach And Material
By WAYNE RINGER
Plainsman Sports Writer
As spring is beginning to arrive, so is A u b u r n ' s 1957
sophomore-laden golf team, under the direction of Coach
Ken Wheeler, who is in his initial season a t t h e Plains. Wheel­er,
who replaced George Hargreave as head coach, disclosed
t h a t his l i n k s t e r s have made an u n l i m i t e d amount of progress
in their first three weeks of prac
tice.
Auburn dropped their first
match of the season last week
to a powerful Florida team, 20-1.
FSU has one of the finest golf
teams in the south today.
John Gross, the Tigers num­ber
one man, was edged out by
Ed Jenkins, who is one of the
top amateur players in the south,
by only one stroke. The surprise
of the match for the Plainsmen
was in the person of Langston
MsNice, who came within one
stroke of upsetting Harry Shoe­maker,
southpaw star of the
Seminole squad.
Coach Wheeler's team is com­posed
of. six sophomores, one
junior and one senior. Donnie
Smith is the graduating player
and the only veteran returning
from last year's squad. Three of
the eight man team were ineli­gible
for the first match with
FSU, but they are expected to be
ready to go after the spring holi­days.
Other members of the Tigers
squad besides Srrrith are John
Gross, Charley Maroney, Jackie
Dedman, Roy Abell, Langston
McNice, Lewis Ray, and Herb
Dennis.

False. Many schools don't permit

Bama Drops Tigers In DouBTe Overfime By 81-79 Margin
r» T-. ^i .11. ' i l . . . ...-» x: on co i! i « j J i.-— ~ — 1 _ l — * U ' By Don Coughlin
Assistant Sports Editor
I t took a double overtime
and the accurate shooting of
big J im Fulmer to lead the
Crimson Tiders of Alabama
over t h e A u b u r n Tigers by a
score of 81-79 before 6,000
screaming fans, at Montgom­e
r y ' s Coliseum, last Friday
night.
Auburn jumped into the scor­ing
column after a minute-and-a-
half had gone by and ran. the
score to a seven point advan-tage.
But the Crimson Tide came
roaring back like a freight train
and pushed 17 straight points
through the. hoop, before the
buzzer sounded and they lead
41-31 at half time.
The Tigers came right back to
take the lead 47-46 after irjter-1
mission and from then on the
battle see-sawed back and forth
Alabama took a 66-60 lead with
2 minutes left, but the Plains­men
were not to be out done and
tied the score, where it ended
the regular time, 68-68.
After the first extra five min­utes,
it was still tied, 72-72. From
there, Alabama jumped into a
79-72 lead, but led by big Rex
Frederick, Auburn scored seven
straight points, five by Frederick
and two by Sam Bowen.
But with 1:06 left in the second
overtime period, Dale Shuman
was fouled
points and Auburn's hopes of
winning. Coach Eaves' quintet
made a last ditch try to win,
when Bobby Tucker took the fij
nal shot with one second to go,
but the ball went off the rim.
Seniors Henry Sturkie and
Thamas Coleman turned in their
usual fine basketball.

GOrVAN^GOGHl
Once upon a time, when the
world was really ..evil,, and a
thief lurked behind every bush,
cautious men had their shirts
painted on! The reason for this
is explained by a perceptive
saying of those days:
"Forsooth, nothing deters
those rapscallions about town.
They'll steal anything that
isn't buttoned down."
Rough days — particularly
for the shirt business, what
with painters picking up all
the profits. Until, suddenly,
an idea of genius appeared.
The button-down shirt! This
shirt was actually buttoned on
to the chest of the wearer, making
it absolutely steal-proof!
Today, in these honest times,
we still feel its influence. I t is
jjthe true ancestor of that glori-
>ous styfer-the shirt with the
F (button down collar! Isn't his-
... .'tory interesting?
Van Heusen—because they
i; {know so much about the but-
Jton-down — has done more
with it than anybody else.
s Take our new line called the
:Van Ivy, for instance. Here
are button-downs in tartan
checks and stripes. Van Ivys
look marvelous with suits and
sport coats, and worn open at
the neck give you a roguish
look. They also have a button
on the back of the collar, fpr
; authenticity's sake. See them.
