On Honor Systems
As Leaders Meet
Students Express
Varying Opinion
Honor systems and the Alaba­ma-
Auburn game dominated dis­cussion
at the student leaders'
meeting held at the home of
President Ralph Draughon this
past Monday night. Leaders from
all areas of campus' activity con­vened
for a look at pressing
problems on the campus today.
Most of the time consumed at
the meeting was spent in discus­sion
of a proposal that an honor
system suitable for use on the Au­burn
campus be studied ancj pos­sibly
later adopted. This topic was
introduced by Bob Beckerle, who
has, for the past few weeks, been
conducting an investigation of
honor systems now in use on oth­er
campuses.
Conclusions reached at the re­cent
Alabama - Auburn student
body r-elations meeting were read
and discussed. The purpose in
this was to urge cooperation of the
student body here to comply with
these agreements in order that
spirit at the game be shown in
the "true Auburn manner."
, A resolution adopted unanim­ously
by the two schools was
read. This resolution is as follows:
"Whereas, athletic relations
were successfully resumed be­tween
the University of Alabama
in 1948, after a lapse of forty-one
years; and Whereas, the relations
between the two schools have im­proved
markedly since the rein-ftitution
of athletic contests as
evidenced by the fine spirit and
friendly rivalry shown by the
spectators at the games played the
past years; Therefore, be it re­solved
that: 'We pledge ourselves
that our conduct will continue to
be in keeping with the highest
standards of gentlemenly be­havior
so as to further reflect
honor upon our respective insti­tutions
and upon our state'."
Committee formed
It was stated that a committee is
being set up, to be approved by
the student Senate, to look into the
possibility of some sort of an
honor system here.
I t was also suggested that,
rather than jump directly into
an honor system, that perhaps a
transition period might be ef­fected
by the installation of a
voluntary honor code. The need
for some solution to the wide­spread
problem of cheating here
was stressed by almost every­one.
Also brought up was the oc­currence
recently of a number
of thefts in the girls' dorms.
Beckerle used as a demonstra­tion
model of the honor system,
that of Florida State University,
a system which has been f a i r ly r e ­cently
put into practice there. The
system is based on an honor
pledge which every student must
sign upon admission to the uni­versity.
FSU's honor pledge reads: "I

Cake Race Planned
By ODK For .Dec. 1
Auburn's annual cake race,
sponsored by Omicron Delta
Kappa and track coach Wilbur
Hutsell, is scheduled to get un­derway
on Tuesday, Dec. 4, at
3:30 p. m. The cake race was
originated several years ago by
Coach Hutsell as a means of find­ing
undiscovered track talent.
All freshmen boys are excused
from classes at 3 p. m. on Tues­day,
and are required to partici­pate
in the cake race.
The winner will receive a big
kiss from "Miss Auburn," Joyce
Van Tassel, a trophy from ODK,
and a large cake, in addition to
various prizes donated by the
merchants of Auburn. Smaller
cakes will go to the next twenty-four
men across the finish line.
IFC will award a trophy to the
first fraternity having four men
to finish.
The runners will travel the
following route: Start in front
of the Field House, proceed East
on Thach to College, north on
College to Glenn, east on Glenn
to Burton, south on Burton
to Magnolia, west on Magnolia
to Gay, south on Gay to Sam-ford,
west on Samford to Graves
Drive, around Graves Drive to
Bibb, east on Bibb to Duncan,
north on Duncan to Roosevelt,
west on Roosevelt to the football
stadium, and then once around
the track to the finish line.
Lewis Anderson, drives com­mittee
chairman, stated Monday
night that, "I feel sure we will
reach the goal." Contributions had
not been received at that time
from five fraternities, five sorori­ties,
six divisions of Magnolia
Hall, Circle K's "date with Jea-nette
Rouseau" fund raising pro­ject,
Holiday Shindig sponsored
by AfO yesterday, and last night's
"Faculty Follies."
During the drive, many events
were planned to get contribu­tions
and to add pleasure to
campus life. There were two
movies, "Jim Thorpe All-Ameri­can"
which collected $37 and
"The Egg and I"; A Phi Kappa
Tau shoe shine, $97; Circle K.
Club "change race," $114;" and
a Kappa Alpha Theta slave auc­tion
which took in $122. Amounts
collected on the AIO Holliday
Shindig and the Faculty Follies
have not yet been revealed.
The Kappa Alpha Theta slave
auction held Nov. 16 in the Un­ion
Ball Room collected dona­tions
totaling $122.75. According
to the slaves, it was a pretty
thrilling experience to be sold
to the highest bidder and at the
same time help out the drive.
The slaves had maTiy and va­rious
'duties to perform for their
masters. They had to wait on
tables for fraternities, wash cars,
type up papers, shine shoes, and
other interesting jobs.
Members of this year's Drives
Committee were Lewis Ander­son,
Atlanta; Patsy Curry, An-niston;
Tom Brakefield. War­rior;
Murray Echols, Birming­ham;
Tom Varner, Atlanta;
Katherine Wooten, Covington,
Tenn.; Dave Byars, Birmingham;
and Patsy Barry, Birmingham.
Donations from the drive will
go to six organizations. They are
the American Heart Association,
the American Cancer Association,
World University Service, Cere­bral
Palsy. Association, Crusade
for Freedom, and the Auburn
Community Chest.

Student Explains India's Five Year Plan
By Man Mohan Varma
As Told To Marie Peinhardt
I n an effoi't to eliminate poverty and to raise its stan­dard
of living, India adopted its first Five-Year P l a n in 1950,
which just recently came to an end. It secured for the com­mon
people a better, richer, and happier life through increas­ed
production and a more equitable distribution of wealth.
The primary objective of the
plan was to lay the foundations
for the building of a more pro-

The plan has been successful in
that both agricultural and in­dustrial
production have sub­stantially
increased.
The increase in agricultural
production is shown by the fact
that India produced 13 million
tons of additional food, which
was substantially more than their
original goal of 8.6 million tons.

Industrial advancement is seen
by the existence of such heavy
industries as fertilizers, locomo­tives,
aircrafts and shipbuilding.
Rehabilitation of railroads which
were dilapidated as a result of
the war and separation (separa­tion
of India and Pakistan) was
quite valuable to industrial bet­terment.
National income over the last
five years is estimated to have
risen about 25 per cent, against
the original expectation of 18
per cent.
Many social and economic
problems have been lessened by
the Bhoodan Movement which

Caution stressed
IFC President Sam Crain stress­ed
the need for being cautious in
accepting -too quickly the system
of another school. He stated that
Auburn, as a unique school in it­self,
should investigate eyery pos­sibility
of defeating cheating and
work out a system all its own, one
that would be suitable for the par­ticular
problems that Auburn
alone faces.
Draughon put In that he wish­ed
the entire faculty could be in

He felt that they.would appre­ciate
the student Ideas express­ed.
He stated that at one time,
with a much smaller study body,
Auburn had an honor system,
but that it had . broken down
with growth and corrpution on
the honor court. He also stated,
the need for working as fast as
possible but with care that the

Working engineers . ..
may continue study to earn Master's degree
Ambitious young engineering graduates today
want to be in two places at the same time. They
want to be employed as quickly as possible, work­ing
daily at a job that offers promise of a reward­ing
career. They also want to be in the classroom,
pursuing advanced studies they know to be so
essential to real professional achievement.
Recognizing the many significant benefits to be
gained by that two-fold ambition — benefits that
accrue both to the individuals, personally, and
to the company employing them — Pratt & Whit­ney
Aircraft has developed an extensive graduate
fellowship program. Within easy commuting dis­tance
of P & W A facilities, working arrangements
have been established with graduate schools at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of
Connecticut, Trinity College, Yale University,
Northeastern University and New York Univer­sity.
Similar arrangements with several other uni­versities
are pending final approval.
At each school, the qualified Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft employee is able to take courses — within
specified areas — leading to a Master's degree.
A tuition-refund plan makes it possible for success­ful
degree candidates to obtain this advanced ed­ucation
tuition-free.
In this era of advancing technology, the world's
foremost designer and builder of aircraft engines
has taken a far-reaching step to assure its engi­neers
and scientists of the opportunity for per­sonal
growth . . . growth that is so beneficial to
employee and company alike.

What Type Honor Plan? 4—AUBURN PLAINSMAN — Wednesday Nov. 21, 1958
llTTlf MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
The plausibility of an honor system
at Auburn was the topic of conversation
at a recent student leaders' meeting on
the campus. This is a subject that will
bear considerable investigation and plan­ning
before it can ever become a reality.
Knowing what we now know about
honor systems as they function on other
campuses we can say only this: honor
systems as used elsewhere would not
function here. This is not to say, how­ever,
that some sort of a plan could not
be worked out for our own situation.
The basis for successful operation of
an honor system anywhere is, and should
be, the matter of an individual's personal
pride in his own strength of character
and reputation. The weakness we find in
other schools' honor systems is merely
that a student is on his honor to report
another student who is cheating any way.
Let us analyze the situation as it ex­ists
here and any other place where cheat­ing
is a problem.
We have a number of schools here on
the campus, each using its own teaching
techniques and examination types. Also
we have certain classes, such as English
and mathematics, where the members are
enrolled in many schools. In each of these
cases we run into unique problems.
Probably classes in which cheating is
most prevalent are those with large num­bers
of students or those in which the
quizzes are of the true-false or multiple
choice types. Reasons for this are easy
to see. Large numbers force close proxim­ity
of students and lend the opportunity
to cheat. True-false and multiple choice
quizzes make it easier for an answer to be
copied.
In contrast, smaller classes make it
less difficult for an instructor to observe
the individual members of his class. Thus
it is harder for a student to get away with
cheating. Too, in such schools as engi­neering
where long and involved problems
are the rule, it is difficult for a student to
get the complete information from some­one
else's examination paper down onto
his own.
Another factor here is attitude. If an
individual has spent several hours work­ing
on a problem and has arrived at an
answer it is not likely that he will be
willing to give this hard earned informa­tion
to someone else for the asking.
We also feel, although we have no
concrete evidence to back it up, that cheat­ing
is more prevalent among lowerclass-men.
Probably this is due, again, to atti­tude.
A student approaching graduation is
beginning to feel the responsibility he
has to himself to get the most out of his
education. The freshman is more interest-
.ed in advancing into the upper class
circles.
The question that then arises is: What
can we do to cut down on cheating here?
The answer, quite obviously, lies in
attitude. How can the student's attitude
be set so that he will have no desire to
cheat?
Let's look at what effect cheating has
on individuals in an institution of higher
learning. Whom does it really hurt?
The immediate effect is on the grades
of those involved. If grading is done on
the curve then the cheater lowers every­one
else in relation to himself and so
forces lower grades on them. If grading
is not done on a curve then his grade is
still higher, in relation to everyone else.
So in either case he has raised himself
to levels above those he could or would
obtain by doing his own work. How then
does this affect him with respect to every­one
else?
Companies interviewing seniors for
jobs almost invariably look first at a stu­dent's
grades. This is the standard by
which a student can be judged most easily
as to his ability in his chosen field. Then
naturally the student with the highest
grades, whether gotten by fair means or
foul, is likely to get the job. Thus other
students are cut out.
Sooner or later, however, the cheater
will be discovered and will be replaced.
This does not help the immediate situa­tion
of the graduating senior with self
earned grades, however.
Then it seems to us that the logical
thinking college student would want to .
discourage cheating among classmates in*
order to preserve his own chances for a
job upon graduation. Why, then, is cheat­ing
thought to be the thing to do for so
many coming up?
This, to us, is the crux of the prob­lem.
If the real meaning of cheating could
be brought into the minds of all the stu­dents,
we feel that cheating would die out.
Perhaps the committee set up to study
the problem will consider some of these
possibilities in coming up with a final
solution. We are looking forward to seeing
the results of good thinking on the mat­ter—
results tailored to the needs of Au­burn
and its own particular situations and
problems.
Challenges 'Auburn Spirit'
One of our football games with more
tradition tied up in it than probably any
other will be coming up next week. It is
during such a game as this that we of Au­burn
must be especially on our toes to
guard against any incident that would
cast discredit upon our school.
No one here was particularly sweat­ing
the game until the Tide upset Tulane
to foster the Auburn spirit

a couple of weeks back. Now there is
pretty general agreement that this could
be more of a game than we realized be­fore.
This game is one that we look for­ward
to each year with anticipation. Not
only do we look to the probability of
beating Bama but also to the certainty of
a great party weekend. Then it is up to
us to see that we can continue to play
these games.
The Auburn-Alabama series began in
February of 1893. Since that time a total
of twenty games have been played, with
Auburn holding a slight edge of ten wins,
nine losses and one tie. But in 1907 the
series was discontinued due to overen-thusiastic
demonstration of spirit by the
two schools. It wasn't until 1948 that of­ficials
in both schools were willing to
take the chance of starting athletic con­tests
between the schools again.
Since 1948 there have occurred no in­cidents
to mar the more recent records of
both institutions with regard to conduct
among the students. Perhaps this has been
due in part to the meetings between lead­ers
of both student bodies to discuss re­lations
for the game, but we are inclined
to feel that it has been more a credit to
the individual student bodies as a whole
that no degrading occurrences have ap­peared.
Spirit for the game will be high and
the presence of a great many alumni will
contribute to this feeling. We can do little
toward stimulating the real "Auburn
Spirit" within alumni with whom we have
almost no contact at all. However, we can
show, by example, how real Auburn stu­dents
conduct themselves.
If we carry this same spirit out onto
the streets and into the stadium at Bir­mingham
next weekend, then we can live
up to the reputation for which Auburn
students have long been noted. Each of
us must do his part in keeping our dem­onstrations
wholesome and free from in­cidents
which can cause a black mark
against Auburn. Thus we can continue,
year after year, to meet Alabama on the
gridiron and elsewhere with our heads
high.

New Novel By Miller
A portion of Mr. Henry Mil­ler's
new novel, Big Sur and the
Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch,
soon to be published by New Di­rections,
and entitled A Devil in
Paradise, has been released in
paperback edition. The story pre­sents
a fast moving and vivid pic­ture
of Conrad Moricund, cynic,
mystic, astrologer and dope addict,
and of the events that take place
when he visits Mr. Miller!s home
in California.
As is usual for Mr. Miller, the
picture the work paints is not a
very pleasant one, but the char­acterizations
and descriptive ma­terial
are first rate. One of the
main points of the whole story is,
strangely enough, presented in
what might almost be called an
essay form, and in itself doesn't
have very much bearing on the
present course of action of the
story—being slightly out of con­text
with the present development.
The "essay" is concerned with
mankind's never-ceasing quest for
peace, contentment, and joy, and
how mankind, after building var­ious
mechanical tools to aid him
in this quest, had lost sight of this
objective, and has allowed the
very tools he built as aids to
dominate him — to even further
obscure the end objective. We
think that this is a well taken
point, and because of this digres­sion
from the story, if for no other
reason, the book is well worth
reading.
BY MERCER HELMS
One or two curious readers have
questioned us as to the origin of
the name of this space. Several
(both of them) have even offered
to send along copies of that most
interesting harangue, How to Live
Without Liquor, by Dr. Ralph A.
Habas. In answed to these queries,
and to the concern that both of
these good people have displayed
in my belief, please allow me to
quote Mr. Robert Service:
The Bottle
When first into this life I burst,
My infant wails to throttle,
My mother gratified my thirst
By giving me a bottle.
'Twas milk, of course, but how
I made
It gush to my subsistence;
And ever since, the bottle's played
A part in my existence.
It's never done me any ill,—
Least none that I'm aware of;
But if it does, I have the will
Immediately to swear off.
So in my cellar cool and dark
Are wines my heart to kindle,
And ere I lose this living spark
I hope to make them dwindle.
If Ma had fed me at the breast
I might have been teetotal.
Poor dear! She knew wha.t was
the best,
And raised me on the bottle.
Let water from my board be
banned, v
. And though my nose it mottle,
Here's to wine's jolly sunshine and
The boon that's in the Bottle!
PASSING STREAM
Students Study Honor System
A few weeks ago I wrote a col-um
about the honor system and
the need for one here at Auburn.
The column was written as the
result of a rather casual effort on
my part to find out a little bit
about the workings of the honor
system at other schools. I be­lieved
then, as I do now, that
something was missing here on
our campus—something that other,
schools are benefitting from. The
honor system seems to be a very
workable answer.
Perhaps many of us don't real­ize
just how great the need for
such a solution has become. Stu­dents
in the .various schools on
campus have reported an increas­ing
amount of cheating on quizzes
and examinations. The incidence
of stealing in the girls' dormitories
has increased to such an extent
that in one dormitory a ruling has
been made to the effect that no
girl may enter another girl's room
unless she is in the room. Girls are
asked to lock their closets when
they leave for classes or dates.
And the number of bad checks be­ing
signed has risen to ridiculous
proportions. In the face of this, the
familiar comment, "I don't think
we need an honor system," be- '
comes slightly ludicrous.
For a long time, there have been
those who have realized the need
of doing something about it. But
beyond one or two sketchy in­vestigations
of the situation, noth­ing
has been attempted. Now, as
a result of an increase in student
interest, a committee has been'
formed to try and find a workable
solution to the problem—the Hon­or
System Committee.
This is entirely a student un­dertaking,
and is as representa­tive
of our campus as is practically
workable. Represetend on this
committee are WSGA, SGA, Stu­dent
Spirit Committee, Student
Welfare Committee, Inter-frater­nity
Council, Panhellenic Council,
BY ANNE RIVERS
Religious Emphasis Week Com­mittee,
Student Council on Re­ligious
Activities, The Plainsman
and the various church groups.
They have set up a long-range
planning program, but the im­mediate
work at hand is to de­termine
the extent of the need
here, for which a tentative student
poll has been set up. This poll
will be designed to reach every
possible section of the campus,
and will try to determine the stu­dents'
attitude about cheating,
stealing, and dishonesty in general,
the real extent to which it is pres­ent
on campus and student reac­tion
to an honor system.
Also, literature from many other
schools under the honor system
will be studied thoroughly and, if
possible, modified and adapted to
Auburn's own particular needs.
Through panels, articles, lectures,
and all types of publicity, the
system will be presented to the
student body for consideration.
The committee is prepared to
study every workable solution to
this problem.
Perhaps an honor system can't
be put in this year. It will take a
lot of work, a lot of preparation,
a lot of publicity, and a lot of
getting used to. There will, per­haps,
be a good deal of opposition
to the plan. And there will be
thorny problems particularly to
Auburn that will have to be
worked out. Perhaps the answer
will not be the honor system—but
there is a definite need, a need
that our present system is not
satisfying. I believe we, as Au­burn
students and intelligent
young people, owe it to the com­mittee
and ourselves to give this
undertaking our wholehearted co­operation—
and at least our honest
and careful consideration. I be­lieve
that this is a step forward
' toward something that Auburn
has needed for a long time.
I sure do hate to see Thanksgiv­ing
arrive. Now I have to miss
half a day Wednesday and two
whole days Thursday and Friday
that I could be going to the same
ole boring classes—that of course
was as sarcastic as I ever meant
a sentence to be.
What a relief it will be to do
nothing for a day or two. By noth­ing
I mean nothing to do with the
dear institution in which we are
spending four of the most fruitful
years of our life.
I 'spect most of us boys will
catch up on some good homecook-ed
food, and spend as many day­light
hours as there are in the
woods hunting. I'm going to forget
completely (as if I ever knew
them) the laws of physics, social
science and diminishing returns.
I'm going to think soley on the
"laws of hunger, laziness and love;
treating each with its proper re­spect.
The only real regret I have for
the arrival of Thanksgiving is that
in four days -it will be over and
once more I must return to the
Loveliest Village and "give 'em
hell" for eighteen or nineteen
more days. It really makes you
wonder if it's all worth it. . . .
I was standing downtown Sat­urday
morning and saw Coach
Jordan drive up in his car. He
didn't seem too pleased with the
drizzling rain at the moment. I
wonder if he thought things would
work out as successfully as they
did in Columbus. Later I saw
Frank Reeves walk into Lips­comb's.
I wonder if he thought
he'd be in the middle of a Geor­gia-
Auburn brawl before the day
was over. I seriously doubt i t . . ..
Some look with disfavor upon
the outburst of emotions shown in
the game Saturday. But it is en­couraging
to know that the Au­burn
eleven is "keyed up" in a
ball game.
There is a famous annual affair
approaching — the Toilet Bowl.
For those of you who don't recog­nize
this name it is a tackle foot-bal
game between the brothers of
Sigma Nu and Theta Chi. The
tickets are usually 25 cents and
all proceeds go to the Bruce
Greenhill Scholarship for students
in journalism. The game will be
played Saturday, Dec. 8.
Few students realize the cost
and effort put into the Lecture and
Concert Series. Last week's pre­sentation
of the "Best of Stein­beck"
cost $1,750. The Auburn
students' culture should increase
rapidly at this price. . . .
Congratulations to Rick Miles
and Buddy Wood for the fine job
they did on the Theta's Slave
Auction. Slaves were seen serving
meals, washing cars, shaving their
masters and doing odd jobs. I hear
that close to one hundred dollars
CHARLES DUNLAP
was raised for the Fund Drive.
While we're on the subject —
thanks to Louis Anderson and his
committee for their ceaseless ef­forts
on the drive. . . .
The Senate met last week and
passed on the Agronomy Club as
API's newest member of our clubs
and organizations. Agronomy is
the application of scientific prin­ciples
to the cultivation of land...
I hope some of you will come
back to Auburn Saturday and help
the cheerleaders and band push
our boys to another victory. The
student spirit was greater at the
Georgia game than I've ever heard
and we'll need some hollering this
Saturday to keep our eleven on
top. F.S.U. will by no means be
a push over. . . .
Thursday night, Nov. 29th is the
date for the Beat Bama Pep Rally.
Fifteen minutes of the program
will be recorded for presentation
on a statewide radio network. The
pep rally will be in the Student
Activities Building and there will
be a dance afterward. . . .
One final sober note—Thanks­giving
is surely a time for verbal
expression of our thanks to God,
but we mustn't let Thanksgiving
end with words. Let's show our
sincerty by backing up our thanks
with actions. One sermon acted
out is worth a hundred only
preached. This weekend, give of
yourself to God. . . .
OUTDOOR LORE
Perhaps the most hard down
hunting to be found in Alabama is
turkey hunting. A hunter will
walk more miles, get colder, stay
in the woods longer, forget more
meals and cuss lounder on a tur­key
hunt than on any other type
of hunt, yet he'll jump at every
chance to go. He'll forsake home,
job, wife and children to get a
shot at a big gobbler. He'll even
give up smoking, for turkeys can
smell it a mile away.
Why go to such extremes to kill
a.turkey? You can buy one at al­most
any market, and it'll surely
be fatter than a wild bird. Well,
I'll tell you why. As I mentioned
before, turkey hunting requires
more skill, patience and plain good
luck than any type hunting I have
ever done. Hunters—good ones too
—have hunted turkeys for four or
five years without killing a bird.
Men who live in areas where there
are turkeys rarely hunt anything
but these magestic birds once
they've been on a hunt. Turkey
hunting gets into one's blood and
is hard to get out, for this type of
hunting offers perhaps the great­est
test a hunter's prowess will
ever encounter.
An old bearded torn is recogniz­ed
as being the wisest, craftiest
and hardest to kill of all game
birds, if not of all North Ameri­can
game. These birds can see the
batting of an eyelash at 50 yards,
take two long strides and dissap-pear,
or often just melt in the
forest background and never be
seen again by the person who bat­ted
the eye. Invariably if one sees
a turkey in range in a wooded
area, the bird will step behind a
tree or a palmetto. The hunter will
wait anxiously, gun in hand,
trembling madly, expecting the
bird to step from behind the ob­struction.
Eight times out of ten
the hunter will never see the bird
again, for the bird will either
stand behind the protective ob­ject
on ona foot and wait to make
sure all's well before he comes in­to
the open again, or will take off
in a direction that will put the
tree or palmetto between the bird
L e t t e r s To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
It is time someone realized the
complete lack of intellectual cu­riosity
on the Auburn campus.
Anne River's column . . . explain­ed
the discouraging situation very
clearly.
I have been here at API for a
quarter and am appalled by the
narrow circle of conversation and
interests of the average Auburn
student. This includes upperclass-men
as well as freshmen.
Ample mental stimulation is
provided by the professors, but
when class is over the student's
mind is closed to everything ex­cept
social activities. Certainly
college life has more to offer than
just football games and movies.
Self-expression is stifled. We
need more unconventional think­ers
to stir the majority who con­form
to the worn-out mold of the
average, unconcerned, "fun-lov­ing"
API student.
A Freshman.
Turkey Hunting
and the hunter.
The fall turkey season opens
Thanksgiving Day and ends Jan.
1. The spring season begins March
20 and runs through April 15.
Only gobblers may be killed and
the limit is one per day or five
during the entire 1956-57 season.
Hunting for turkeys is allowed
only in specific areas. (Check
these areas in the publication,
"Alabama Hunting, Fishing and
Trapping Seasons 1956-57" issued
by the Alabama Department of
Conservation.)
Hunting turkeys in the fall is
very exciting. It is a heart-pound­ing
thrill to see a crafty old hen
leading a drove of young hens and
gobblers to feeding areas in the
early, misty hours of morning and
to hear the clucking and putting
of the drove as they move along.
However, spring is - the most
exciting time to hunt these mag­nificent
birds to most hunters,
for in the spring all the beauty
and majesty of the courting page­ant
takes place. Hunters have
stood or sat with mouth agape,
watching a courting scene until
they completely forgot about the
loaded gun in their hands, or just
plain hated to bring to an end
such a scene. The strutting, fan-:
ning, beating of wings, and gob­bling
of the big toms is a magni­ficent
thing to behold.
Few big gobblers are seen in
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
the fall for they group together
in twos and threes, or else live by
themselves in the colder months.
However, in the spring they come
forth in all their splendor and
egotism, ready to challenge any
and all comers in order to protect
the harems of hens they have
chosen. The older birds, with their
long coarse beards (I have seen
beards ten inches long) and
bronze-appearing plumage afford
quite a spectacle—one that no
hunter can quite ever forget.
Turkeys are hunted from stands
near feeding and watering areas,
or are stalked. The latter way of
hunting requires the greater skill.
Turkey calls, of which there are
countless types, are a great help
to hunters in locating and getting
game in range.
Roosting of a drove of turkeys
is a fortunate thing for a hunter
for he knows the general vicinity
in which the birds will be the
next morning.
Many hunters use high velocity
loads of number five and four
shot for the hunting of these
birds, yet I was told by an ex­perienced
hunter that standard
loads of size six shot are suf­ficiently
powerful to kill turkeys.
Whatever the type gun or am­munition
used, a hunter is in for
real adventure when he takes to
the woods in search of this wisest
of all birds.

Faith Versus Conformity
One of the most degenerating
faculties of our American youth
today is their readiness to con­form,
in preference to building
concrete personal convictions up­on
sound thought. It may be that
we refrain from thinking for our­selves;
more than likely, it is the
desire to find favor in the eyes of
other people.
We do not choose a charcoal
suit, pink shirt, and striped tie
because it is "the thing to wear,"
if perchance it happens to be the
style at that moment. Further­more,
we drink "Cokes" mostly be­cause
other people do rather than
for the taste value, and personal
preference. Perhaps it could best
be illustrated in the coed smok­ing
problem. The- girl does not
usually begin smoking- because
she likes the taste of cigarettes,
but because "the other girls are
doing it."
This certainly is not the founda­tion
upon which* our present free­dom
and democracy were built.
Yet it could easily become the
termite that destroys that founda­tion
which is courage, honesty,
truth, and honor. This practice is
becoming so prevalent among us
that we are using it as motives
lor our action.
It it were a local pro'olem it
would not be dangerous; but since
it is on a national scale, it could
easily become a real threat to our
democracy in the future, for be­hind
it lies a fear of being ridi­culed
for action stemming from
basic convictions.
One of the greatest missionaries
and teachers wrote to his friends,
admonishing them to "be not con­formed
to this world; but be yet
transformed by the renewing of
your minds. . . ." Or in the modern
day English, "Don't let the world
BY PAUL SMITH
around you squeeze you into its
own mold, but let God remold
your minds from within so that
you may prove in practice that the
plan of God for you is good."
Surely this comes as a command
to us in our day.
.1 believe that God would have
us substitute faith for conformity *%,
and live our deepest conviction
daily regardless of consequences,
believing that "all things worked
together for good of those who
love the Lord. . . ."
Then instantly you ask, "What
is faith?" "Now faith means put­ting
full confidence in the things
we hope for, it means being cer­tain
of things we cannot see."
"Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed by
the word of God."
Why should we not allow one
who created the world and placed
its laws of nature in perfect har­mony
to direct our lives and de­cisions
for courses of action? If
He is capable of guiding through -
the boundless sky the certain 'A
flight of a migratory waterfowl, \
surely He will not suffer our feet
to be moved from the narrow path
of faith. Faith cannot be function­al
unless it is exercised. We can­not
exercise our faith if we con­form
to the approval of the masses
without giving serious thought to
the resultant effect and morality
of our action.
If the Will of God and the ap­proval
of the crowd coincide, then
follow the crowd. But when the
paths of God and the crowd di­verge,
which shall we follow?
With whom shall we walk?
Should we seek the approval of
man rather than God? Conformity
can be best the course of action
only when we in faith conform to
the will of God the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
Wally Butts Took A Little Walk,
Then Watched The Tigers Run
A little after 1:00 in the afternoon, Wally Butts walked onto the
playing field at Columbus' Memorial Stadium to look at its condition.
If he wanted a wet one, it must, have been too dry because Auburn
won easily, 20-0.
This was the first time in the 64-year history of the series that
the Tigers had beaten Georgia four consecutive times. The Bulldogs
had dumped Auburn in six games over the 1926-1931 stretch and five
more between 1944 and 1948 while Auburn went through two periods,
1913-1919 and 1935-1939 without losing, but each of these streaks
included a tied tilt.
War Eagler "Shug" Jordan might be termed a pupil
of Butts having been as assistant to "The Little Round Man"
prior to his triumphal return to Auburn. If so, he has certainly
been an apt one for his Tiger teams hold a 4-2 edge over Butts'
boys.
The numerous incidents of "illegal slugging" occuring in the
game are probably better off forgotten, but we did manage to get
an indirect quote from Riley Gunnels, one of the Georgia "ejectees."
According to a personal friend of his, Riley said after the game that
he. was keyed up to such an extent that "it just seemed like he
couldn't hold himself back." Anyway, he claimed the injury to quar­terback
Billy Hearn had nothing to do with the flare-ups.
The Georgians really felt beforehand that they would win and
had Jerry Elliott, Ben Preston, and Howell Tubbs not combined
their efforts to stop Knox Culpepper at the Tigers' 30 yard line
on the opening Georgia drive, the outcome might have been
different.
Perhaps Auburn's cheerleaders should start for the games earlier
since they let the Georgia's cheering section get in 25 minutes of
uninterrupted noise before they arrived. But actually Auburn lost
very little in spirit prestige for Charley Crowder did a pretty good
job in their absence, leading a rousing "two-bits, four-bits."
Bobby Hoppe appears to have really founcPhimself now. With
Tommy Lorino, he gives Auburn a solid one-two punch which can
keep opponents completely off-balance.
Saturday he romped for 76 yards in eight carries and just missed
breaking away several times. He seemed to take advantage of his
interference better than before and as usual he played a sharp de­fensive
game.

Tigers Try For 14th In A Row;
Atkins Runs Well Against Georgia
Auburn's resurging Tigers will go after their fourteenth straight
win in Cliff Hare Stadium this Saturday when they take on the
Seminoles of Florida State University. This will mark the second
meeting of the two clubs as Auburn came out on top in their last
meeting in 1954 by a score of 33-0.
The Seminoles, members of no conference, will be trying to
nail down their second important win in as many weeks. Last Satur­day
they snapped a 14 game winning streak for Mississippi Southern
as they downed the Southerners 20-19.
The Tigers, on the other hand, will be trying to make it
three in a row, having previously defeated Georgia last week
and Mississippi State two weeks ago. Also this game will serve
as a warm-up to the annual Auburn-Alabama classic.
Auburn's stock in fullbacks for the 1957 season soared upward
Saturday as Billy Atkins, second stringer behind Jim Walsh, proved
to 28,000 fans that he not only had the determination but the ability
to make the big step into a starting position next year. In Billy's
first seven games he picked up only 15 yards on five carries.
But against Georgia he was not to be denied as he ran for 37
yards on five carries. One of these runs was a 17 yard TD sprint in
the first quarter. The 6 foot, 190 pound junior is being used sparsely
this year but next year should be called upon for heavy duty.

Last week in this column we mentioned the fact that the
SEC was the strongest league in the country. We backed this
statement by the fact that five SEC teama were in contention for
a possible bowl bid. Among these teams we listed Florida. Since
then we have been enlightened to the fact that Florida is on
suspension by the NCAA and could not accept a bowl bid even if
they finished the rest of their season undefeated.
Although Auburn is banned from any possible New Year's Day
game this year the Tigers will be well represented in the annual
Blue-Grey tilt in Montgomery. Howell Tubbs, Chuck Maxime, Ernie
Danjean and Jerry Elliott have already been selected to appear in
the Rebel-Yankee classic.

Bowl-Bound Seminoles May Not Be "Breather" After All
Auburn Plays Host To FSU
Over Thanksgiving Weekend
By Paul Hemphill
, Plainsman Sports Writer
Back in September, Auburn's Thanksgiving weekend date
with Florida State looked like a breather—a chance to r e ­l
a x before heading to Birmingham for the annual battle
with Alabama . . . But now, only four days before t h e game,
i t s a different story.
Coach Tom Nugent's Semi­noles,
rebuilding and shooting
for a future SEC berth, are not
going to be the pushovers they
appeared to be at the beginning
of the season.
After Saturday's 20-19 vic­tory
over Mississippi Southern,
FSU was offered a berth in Or­lando's
Tangerine Bowl on New
Year's day. Previously they had
been approached by the Sun
Bowl of El Paso. Depending on
whether a suitable opponent can
be found, they are expected to
take one of the bids.
Seven SEC Teams
To Be In Action
During Holidays
Only seven SEC squads see
action this week, and the head-liner
will be the Georgia Tech-
Florida fracas in Jacksonville.
Last Saturday Tech downed
Alabama 27-0, while the Gators
enjoyed an open date.
The only other match between
conference rivals will be the
Tennessee-Kentucky scrap in
Knoxville. The Vols pasted Ole
Miss 27-7 last week and the
Wildcats beat Xavier 33-0.
The other games this week will
find Auburn playing host to
FSU, who snapped Mississippi
Southern's 14-game w i n n i ng
streak last Saturday. Alabama
takes on the ambitious Southern­ers,
while LSU will visit Arkan­sas.
The remainder of the league
will rest in preparation for tra- (
ditional battles next week.
Results of other encounters last
week found Vanderbilt being u p ­ended
by Tulane 13-6, Missis­sippi
State trouncing LSU 32-
13, and Auburn taking Georgia
20-0.

In only their second year in
big-time football, the Seminoles
have already begun to make a
name for themselves > among
their bigger brothers. T h r ee
weeks ago, they held top-ranked
Miami, to a 20-7 margin in los­ing
to the Hurricanes in Miami.
And if you believe in com­parative
scores, look at this—
in their second game of the sea­son
the Seminoles held Georgia
for three quarters before bow­ing,
3-0. Two week ends ago,
the Floridans whipped Furman,
which lost to Auburn earlier by
a 41-0 score.
Overall, State's record stands
at 5-3-1. The other defeat came
at the hands of VPI. Besides
Mississippi Southern, the Semi­noles
have beaten Ohio Univer­sity,
North Carolina State, and
Villanova. They were tied with
Wake Forest, 14-14.

strong point has been its passing

Sports Editor George Wendell picked eight out of ten correctly last week to move into a tie with
second place Bob Black, but he failed to gain on the leader, Ed Williams who also had an 8-2 mark.
The consensus had just six winning choices, and eight outsiders did better than that. Claire Sloan,
Ralph Andrews, George Garner McBride, Tommy S ellers, Dwight Powell and Buddy Wood all managed
to list eight victors while George Brunner and Robert DeLoach has seven. Among the Plainsman
prognosticators, Paul Hemphill, long on the bottom of the heap, made seven sparkling choices and
caught up with Editor Hal Morgan who could only forsee five games. If you would like to try your
hand at outguessing the "experts," put your list of winners on a slip of paper and turn it in at the
Union Building desk before 5 p.m. Those who do better than the consensus will find their names

Georgia Takes IL.On The Chin, 20-0
By George Bruner

A u b u r n took its f o u r t h straight victory over Georgia in
Columbus Saturday, 20-0. The h a r d fought battle was high­lighted
by t w o Howell Tubbs to R e d P h i l l i p s TD passes a nd
numerous rounds of fisticuffs.
Tubbs surprised everyone, including the A u b u r n coaches,
by flinging a seventy-yard scor­ing
aerial into the outstretched
arms of Phillips on the Tigers'
first play from scrimmage. Big
Red gathered it in on the Geor­gia

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Jimmy Phillips
Last year's "SEC Sophomore of the Year" and a 1956 pre-season
choice on many AU-American teams. These are just some of the
laurels that have been heaped upon Jimmy "Red" Phillips, Auburn's
versatile right end.
Last Saturday Phillips was undoubtedly the most spectacular
performer in the Auburn-Georgia game as he snagged three passes
for a total of 88 yards and two touchdowns.
On the very first Auburn play from scrimmage, "Big Red" faked
beautifully and was behind the Georgia secondary before the Bull­dog
defenders knew what had happened. Howell Tubbs spiraled a
pass to him and he caught it oh the Georgia 35 and proceeded to
speed unmolested across the goal:
Later in the third period, Tubbs, with' a fourth and four situation
on the Dog's six, again took to the airlanes, hitting "No. 88" right
between his numerals just over the goal.
Thus far this year, the affable All-State, All-Southern, and AU-American
from Alex City is leading the Tiger wingmen in pass
receptions. He has hauled in 14 passes for 188 yards and three touch­downs
and has a 13.4 yard per catch average.
His 18 points scored puts him in second place in the overall
Tiger statistics.

the end zone.
The third Tiger scoring drive
came in the third period follow­ing
a Georgia fumble on their
49-yard line and was climaxed
by a 6-yard heave from Tubbs
to Phillips in the end zone.
Numerous skirmishes between
various Tiger and Bulldog play­ers
gave the fans quite a thrill
and kept them on the edge of
their seats throughout the game.

First Little Story
-Once upon a time when the inventors of the airplane
were very small boys, the roof on their house developed
a terrible leak. A repairman was called to fix it. He set
his ladder against the side of the house, but it was a
very tall house and his ladder was not quite long enough
to reach the roof.
"Sir, we have an idea," said the boys who even at that
tender age were^ resourceful little chaps. "We will get
up on top of t h e - l a d d e r e d boost you up on the roof."
So the boys climbed.to the top of the ladder, and the
repairman came after them, and they tried to boost him
up on the roof. But, alas, the plan did not work and they
all came tumbling down in a heap.
MORAL: Tivo Wrights don't make a rung.
Second Little Story
Once upon a time a German exchange student came
from Old Heidelberg to an American university. One
night there was a bull session going on in the room next
to his. "Ach, excuse me," he said timidly to the group of
young men assembled there, "aber what is that heavenly
smell I smell?"
"Why, that is the fragrant aroma of our Philip Morris
cigarettes," said one of the men.
"Himmel, such natural tobacco goodness!"
"It comes in regular size in the handy Snap-Open pack,
or in long size in the new crashproof box Won't you
t ry one?"
"Dankeschb'n," said the German exchange student
happily, and from that night forward, whenever the men
lit up Philip Morris Cigarettes, he never failed to be
present.
MORAL: Where there's smoke, there's Meyer.
Third Little Story
Once upon a time Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, had
herself a mess of trouble in Ithaca. With her husband
away at the Trojan War, all the local blades were wooing
Penelope like crazy. She stalled them by saying she
wouldn't make her choice until she finished weaving a
rug. Each night when her suitors had gone home, Penel­ope,
that sly minx, would unravel all the weaving she
had done during the day.
W/ Ml You hdeifft&isUtZ?
Well sir, one night she left her rag lying outside. It
rained buckets, and the rug got all matted and shrunken,
and Penelope couldn't unwind it. When the suitors came
back in the morning, the poor frantic woman started
running all over the house looking for a place to hide.
Well sir, it happened that Sappho, the poetess, had
come over the night before to write an ode about Penel­ope's
Grecian urn. So she said, "Hey, Penelope, why
don't you hide in this urn ? I think it's big enough if you'll
kind of squinch down."
So Penelope hopped in the urn, and it concealed her
perfectly except for her hair-do which was worn upswept
in the Greek manner.
Well sir, with the suitors pounding on the door, Sap­pho
had to move fast. She whipped out a razor and cut
off Penelope's hair. The suitors looked high and low but
they couldn't find Penelope.
MORAL: A Penny shaved is a Penny urned.

overtime vic­tory
to force
the playoffs in­to
o n e more
Black game. U n t il
then SPE was undefeated, hav­ing
knocked off KA in their other
playoff tilt.
In the Monday fracas, a de­fensive
affair dominated by in­tercepted
passes, the SPEs gene­rated
the most promising drive.
They moved to the ATO 7-yard
line late in the fourth period on
11 yards when James was trapped
trying to pass. After that the
ATOs only had to keep from los­ing
more.
Newman trounced BSU 12-6
with Mawhinney and Hairston
leading the attack and scoring
one TD apiece. Newman is now
undisputed champion in t he
Church Leagues.
Div. K dropped its first game
of the season to Div. B, 6-0, but
is still the winner in their lea­gue.
Div. E, idle this past week
is the other dorm league champ.
Tigers Lead SEC In Total Offense;
Lorino Closes In On Quillian, King
With an assist from Tennessee
Auburn has taken the South­eastern
lead in total offensive
yardage for the season. The Vol­unteers
held Ole Miss, last week's
leader, to a total of 226 yards
Saturday while the Tigers rolled
up 381 against Georgia.
Auburn's average is now 349.5
per game while the Rebels have
a 343.1 mark. Broken down into
rushing and passing, the Tigers
have made 267.5 yards by land
and 82.0 by air per game.
Defensively the Tigers also
improved their SEC standings,
6—AUBURN PLAINSMAN Wednesday Nov. 21, 1956
moving past Vanderbilt into the
third spot with a 216.2 average
allowance to foes. Ole Miss and
Georgia Tech still top the con­ference.
Although Bobby Hoppe out-gained
Tommy Lorino by two
yards Saturday, the Bessemer
flash retained his hojd on first-place
among Auburn's running
backs and gained on the SEC
leaders, Tulane's Ronnie Quillian
and Vanderbilt's Phil King. Quil­lian
and King are both tied at
594 yards while Lorino is close
behind with 576. -
Saturday Tommy moved for 74
three-footers while Quillian got
60 and King 73 as their two
teams met. Tulane and Vander­bilt
are idle this week, making
i t quite possible that Lorino,
who is averaging 9.0 yards per
carry, will move up to the top
spot when Auburn meets Florida
State then.
In other departments among
the team, end Jimmy "Big Red"
Phillips, one of the SEC's four
top pass receivers, moved past
Jerry Sansom to take the lead
in yardage gained on aerials, and
quarterback Howell Tubbs over­took
Jimmy Cook and Frank
Riley as the No. 1 passer.

the ground game.
The Tigers will not be up to
full strength for the game Sat­urday.
Tackle Ben Preston will
definitely be out with a leg in­jury
suffered in the Georgia

senior center, who has been do­ing
such a fine job lately, was
also hurt and only time will tell
whether or not he will start
against the Seminoles. Soph half­back

Grapplers Open Season With Four-Way Meet
By Don Coughlin
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's wrestling team will open their 1956-57 season
when they travel to Huntingdon, W. Va., Friday, Nov. 30,
to compete in a quadrangular meet with Virginia Military
Institute, Davidson and Marshall College.
The team, which holds ten consecutive Southeastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Assoc­iation
championships, has been
practicing in the Sport Arena
since Oct. -1. Coach Arnold
"Swede" Umbach's muscle men
seem to be in fine condition and
the prospects coming up are giv­ing
a big scare to the veterans
of last year's championship squad.
Returnees like Walt Keller in
the 123 pound' class and his
brother Frank (137) are sure to
be back and in good style. In the
147 pound class, veteran Vic
Maldonado is being pushed by
B. R. Gruthire, who is showing
plenty of promise.
Bob Mason and Gerald Cre-saps
are fighting it out for the
130 pound spot. In the 157. and
167 pound classes, 'a host of
strong boys, Arnold Hangen,
Ronnie Hough, Emory Kirkwoo'i
and August Bellsnyder are will­ing
and able to jump on the mat
and take on any opponent. Vet-
