API Vet School
First To Wear
New DYM Gowns
Auburn's Class of '56 in the
School of V e t e r i n a r y Medicine
will be t h e first to wear spec­ially
designed caps and gowns
at a graduation exercise. The
announcement of this added
recognition for the DVM de­gree
was made on J a n u a r y 6
by the Auburn Committee on
Graduation.
The Committee members are
Dean Huntley, Dr. Parker, and
Mr. Edwards (Registrar). Dr.
Mullins, Executive Vice-Presi­dent,
endorsed the Committee's
decision.
The new gowns will consist of
a Doctor's Robe with three steel-gray
bars on the sleeve and steel-gray
front panelling for trim. ' A
gray hood with Auburn's colors
superimposed is being planned for
the future.
The gowns were . designed by
Sam Rideout, Melbourne Florida,
who is a member of the Class of
'56 and whoN was the leader in
promoting the Regalia's accep­tance
at Auburn and throughout
the nation. The gown was adopt­ed
as the official graduation at­tire
for the nation's 17 veterinary
colleges by the American Veter­inary
Medical Association at a
1954 California convention.
Movies At Union
In conjunction with Religious
Emphasis Week-, both of the free
movies to be shown Tuesday, Jan.
24, will be religious pictures.
"I'd Climb the Highest Moun­tain,"
with Susan Hayward and
• William Lundigan, recounts a
story of simple faith, of a minister
called to a small Georgia hill com­munity.
With his gentle-bred bride he
meets the crises of his congrega­tion
honestly and fearlessly. (88
minutes.)
"My Brother" is the story of a
Filipino widow and her eight year
old son who move into a new town
and find difficulty in gaining ac­ceptance
from their neighbors.
The Christian attitude toward
this problem is exemplified by
nine year old, Freddie Fisher, who
befriends them, and by Carl Fish­er,
who reminds a newspaper man
that in God's sight there is no
such thing as a foreigner and that
Christ died for all men regardless
of race or color. (30 minutes.)
These pictures, will be shown
in the Union Ballroom at 3 p.m.
and again at 7:30 p.m.
The date for. mis y e a r ' s All-
Campus Bipod Drive has been
set lor F e b r u a r y 14, according
to Bill Amos, s u p e r i n t e n d e nt
oi Campus Drives. Blood will
be given on the fourteentn
onry and will be received be­tween
y a.m. and 4 p.m. in the
Student Union Ballroom.
There will be no diet or smok­ing
restrictions placed on the
donors. In addition students who
give blood will be excused from
class for three hours. Excuses for
this purpose have been approved
by the Council of Deans.
All students in good health are
urged to donate their blood. All
of the blood received will be used
exclusively in Auburn and Lee
County.
Any Auburn student, or imme­diate
family member, who may at
some time require a transfusion
is entitled to the blood free of
cost. In such an event, however,
there is a charge for hospital
services rendered.
An excerpt from the Lee Coun­ty
Bulletin explains the proced­ure
for handling Red Cross blood.
"The Red Cross does not
charge for blood it sends to Lee
County Hospital. The blood is
provided absolutely free to all
Lee County residents. The hos­pital
charges only for the trans­fusion
just as it charges for any
service to patients."
"Part of the charge goes for
equipment and supplies used in
transfusion. Part goes fQr lab­oratory
tests to make sure that
the Red Cross blood matches the
blood of the patient in every re­spect.

Of Union Building
Advance sale of tickets for the

show being presented in the Au­burn
Union Ballroom on the even­ing

any previous program the Union
Program Committee has ever

A possible explanation for this,
says Hal, is the fact that Dr. Pol­gar

Mighty Plainsman To Meet Puny Glom
In Annual Lop-Sided Affair Saturday
By Tom Duke
The unbeaten, untied and unscored upon invincible
PLAINSMAN Plainsmen will meet the first foe of their rug­ged
1956 football season S a t u r d a y afternoon at 2:30 p.m. when
they take the field against the puny Glomerata graft wave.
The annual slaughter will take place on Biggio Flats, the
freshman football field. Athletic
THIS WEEK'S LOVELIEST seems to have caught the HI-FI
bug. She is Corra McDonnell, a freshman in Home Economics from
Huntsville. Corra is a Tri-Delt pledge.
Director Jeff Beard reluctantly re­fused
to let the classic be played
in Cliff Hare Stadium because of
the killing effect that Glom blood
would have on the grass.
Honest Jim "Fair and a Square"
Rosser will referee the contest,
ably assisted by a group of hand-picked
officials (chosen from the
Plainsman Boosters Club).
City Police Chief Clyde Ellis
urges townspeople to park their
cars and "follow the crowd" to
the game in order that the ag­gregation
of out-of-town fans may
be accommodated. Parking areas
have been marked off for several
miles on all incoming highways.
Champions of the Weekly News­paper
Conference for the past 90
years, the red-hot Plainsmen are
heavily favored according to the
latest odds released by the boys
in the smoke filled back room of
the Wilmore snooker lab.
In a secret ballot held last night
to determine the captain of the
Plainsmen for the rip-snorting
classic, "Energetic" Ed Williams
and Bill "One-Man" Teem each
received one vote. Voting were
the paper's managing editors.
Emergency bleachers will be set
up inside the Plainsmen's 20-yard-line
to set the over-capacity crowd,
since that portion of the field is
not expected to be played upon.
Yellow Wave
Last year a yellow, terrified, in­experienced,
insignificant Graft
Wave arrived, begging mercy of
the potent Plainsmen. The Plains­men
showed consideration by
holding the score H<5w!Tto""l'66-0, a
score slightly less than the 114-0
trouncing of the year before. In
the victory, that fabulous "All-
Universe" Plainsmen back Tom
Duke turned in his usual stellar
performance.
Spearheading this year's attack
will be ten-year letterman "Ter­rible"
Tom Duke, who, with his
needle-threading passes, inspira­tional
end runs, lengthy pujits,
earth-shaking tackles, sterling
pass interceptions, and clever
poses for the newspaper photo­graphers,
has won all available
grid honors.
Other big name stars expected
to be in Plainsman grab include
Ed "Tennessee" Williams and "X-Y"
Teem, "Bruiser" Bill Klemm,
"Silent" Sam Houston, "Hustlin"
Herb Reed, Cecil "Sizzlin" Stokes,
"Dangerous" Dan Beaty, "Gem"
Waldrup.
Charles "Terrible" Todd, Bill
"Neanderthal" Neville, J e r ry
"Gorrilla" Goddard, Hal "Mauler"
Morgan, "Treacherous" Tim Ford,
and a host of others.
Leading the massed multitude in
cheers for the Plainsmen will be a
bevy of curvaceous coeds includ­ing
Dolly "The Doll" Fulkerson,
"Jilting"* *I«* tfJ^Uvsom, "Sublime"
Sue Ncthcry, "Delicious" Dorena
Wallace, "Melting" Marie Pcin-hardt,
Barbara "the Bombshell"
Bradley, "Tantalizing" T e r ry
White, Sue "the Scortcher" Lan-don,
"Beguiling" Betty Temple-ton,
Ginger "the Goddess" Parris,
Ann "Flo" Rivers, and Bonnie
"Bubbles" Bailey.
The Glomerata is also expected
to field a team.
President Draughon
Names Members To
Graduate Council
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon has an­nounced
the naihes of three ap­pointees
to the Graduate Council.
New members of the Council,
appointed for three year terms
by Dr. Draughon on the recom­mendation
qf Dr. W. V. Parker,

Things are really looking up this week—the social calen­dar
is completely full. Last week was a busy one with the
fraternities and sororities rushing and the rushees trying to
make that important decision.
Friday night the ZTA's entertained with a pledge party
for foreign students in the ZTA
The ATO's had a
and the SN's had
chapter room,
costume party

Visiting Quartet To Sing Tonight
By Bonnie Bailey
Plainsman Clubs Editor
The Alabama Christian College Quartet from Montgom­ery
will be the main attraction at the AIO meeting tonight
at 7:15 in t h e Union Ballroom.
This q u a r t e t has performed in six states at banquets, high
school, churches and on radio and TV. Along with their
singing they act as a public re
lations medium for their small
|Jjberal arts school.
• The program will consist of
southern songs such as "Bulldog",
"Levee Song", "Tavern In- The
Town" and also the spirituals,
"Study War No More," "Who Did"
and others.
TIO invites the entire public
to attend this meeting. No ad­mission
will be charged and re­freshments
will be served.
The AIO office, room. 311, Un­ion
Building, is now open from
2:00-4:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
KDP Hears Critics
A group of Lee County High
School seniors presented their im­pressions
of student teachers to
members of Kappa Delta Pi, Na­tional
Honor Society in Educa­tion,
at the January meeting.
Pat Driggs, Janice Ham, Alice
Prather, Billy Ham, Allen Beard,
and Jim Ross participated in the
panel discussion. Dr. R. G. .Ris-inger
served as moderator.
The seniors discussed the ad­vantages
and disadvantages of
being in classes with student
teachers and outlined some char­acteristics
of student teachers
which they throught desirable.
Among the criticisms offered by
the seniors was the fact that they
thought there are too many stu­dent
teachers for the Lee.County
faculty to place advantageously.
Student teachers for the Winter
Quarter were guests at the meet­ing.
Farm Group Formed
The Alabama Student Section
of the American Farm Economics
Association was organized here
Tuesday, Jan. 10, by students
currently enrolled in Agricultural
Administration.

GEORGE M. LINCOLN, JR. expects to receive his B.S. in met­allurgical
engineering from Lehigh University in 1957. George
is active in sports, vice president ot his junior class, and a partici­pant
in many other campus activities. He's starting his employ­ment
investigations early, for he feels that the selection of an
employer is one of the most important decisions in a man's career.
Charlie Smith answers:
They have an almost endless, variety of interesting
problems to face, George. As a student of metallurgy
you know that about two-thirds of all known chemical
elements are metals. Many of them are revealing valu­able
new applications, when highly purified on a com­mercial
scale. Du Pont is greatly interested in several
metallic and semi-metallic elements.
My own experience at Du Pont ranges from work
on titanium pigments, to metallic titanium production,
and to the ultra-pure silicon used in transistors. You
can appreciate some of our metallurgical problems when
I point out that impurities in transistor silicon have to
be below one part in 100 million. That's equivalent to
one pound of impurities distributed through a train of
ore cars twenty miles long!
Some of our metallurgists carry out fundamental
research on new metals, and, in the development stage,
they frequently operate pilot plants for producing them.
Other metallurgists study problems relating to engi­neering
materials used in construction, carry out re­search
on intergranular corrosion, or investigate fatigue
relationships encountered in dynamic, high-pressure
operations.
You'll find many challenging opportunities in every
phase of metallurgy at Du Pont, George.

REW And You LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bifaler
Religious Emphasis Week are often
knocked by students by such titles as "Be
Kind to God Week" or "Nod to God Week."
There is more than a little justification for
this. It's obviously ridiculous to think that
God gets very hepped up over the idea
that for one week out of fifty-two some
students are going to be briefly concerned
about Him—their Creator! Students rec­ognize,
perhaps without thinking very
deeply about it, that religion is something
that by definition can't be "emphasized."
Either it is important, in which case it's
equally important at all times, or itris not
important, in which case better to have a
week's vacation (or even a week's classes)
than REW.
Is there any value then in REW as
planned for the Auburn campus next
week? We believe so. There will be value
in it for those students already committed
to God with more than a nodding acquain­tance.
Time has been set aside from a
crowded class schedule to give us an op­portunity
to increase our knowledge and
understanding of our faith. It should be
a stimulating week if we attend as many
of the talks and discussions as we possibly
can and then carry the things we hear
over into our r e g u l a r bull sessions,
and into our church study groups in the
weeks to come.
REW will also be a value to those with
merely a nodding acquaintance with God,
or those who doubt that there's a God to
nod to, if we will only go open-mindedly
to learn all we can from those who claim
a more first-hand knowledge than we at
present possess. One word of caution,
though: religion does not stand or fall
by the merit or intellectual ability of its
human adherents. It may be that some of
the REW speakers will be duds. This does
not mean that religion is a dud. The
question of truth must be kept separate
from the question of personalities.
Finally, because religion is a matter
of the whole life and not merely of
thought (as important as thought is in
religion) it must be said that REW in a
vacuum is probably worse than useless.
Unless we seriously intend to follow up
REW with sincere and regular worship
and study within our church groups, we
may as well not bother with it at all. But
if REW can be the jumping off place into
a vigorous religious quest, then its value
for us may prove to be tremendous, even
infinite!
The Third Side To Segregation
The two well known sides of the race
issue, segregation and integration, have be­come
so paramount in the public mind that
the real significance of race problems may
well be lost. And in the light of a rapid
rise in the intensity of racial turmoil it
may behoove us all, regardless of our
stand on the issue, to consider a third
side—RESERVATION.
Various pressure groups, such as the
NAACP and "White Citizens Councils,"
are stirring the public to a disturbing emo­tional
pitch. The press and radio only add
to the tenseness of the situation. Such mag­azines
as Look, Post, and Life have played
Up the race problem. What these people
apparently do not realize is that they are
contributing to the goals of subversives.
We who respond are equally guilty.
It is obvious, to me at least, that Com­munists
are exploiting the emotions and
prejudices of our people, both white and
black. The Soviets are old hands at cap­italizing
on internal strife. Toward this
end they stop at; nothing" to create^hal
strife. The NAACP has already been in­criminated
for Communist influences. It
is almost equally certain that Communist
influence has exerted itself in the "White
Citizens Councils." To Communists, seg­regation
is not an issue; it is a tool with
which they can mobilize against American
solidarity and harmony.
And so, when we thinking people par­take
in the haggle and animosity involved
in segregation issues, we become unwit­ting
allies with the Communist cause.
Northern instigators deserve to be in­dicted
for their pressure activities. But we
Southerners are not free from blame eith­er.
Many of us are more determined to
stop integration than the pseudo-idleaists
are to enforce it. As a result, we are en­couraging
the dissolution of mutual har­mony
and understanding.
The pro-integrationists should realize
to foster the Anbnrn Bpirlt
BILL NEVILLE
Editor
BILL TEEM
ED WILLIAMS
that there are certain social amenities that
cannot be legislated, which is strongly il­lustrated
by the fact that laboring people
cannot be on the same social plane as Mr.
and Mrs. Blueblood.
Further, the integrationists must real­ize
that their ends cannot be realized by a
"cram it down their throats" attitude.
Next1, we Southerners should admit to
ourselves that there are many inequities
that we have imposed on the Negro. In
all honesty with our conscience—and be­fore
the eyes of world opinion—we should
-strive resolutely to enhance the Negro's
education, civil liberties, and standard of
living. And we will, provided everybody
will get off our backs.
The stand that both sides should take
is: "Don't fight it; it's bigger than' both of
us." Time,; patience, and moderate, yet
progressive, action can resolve our prob­lems.
. In the meanwhile, let's not allow the
-race issue to add to thig.nation's blunders
against Soviet strategy. Let lis not fulfill
the Communist prophecy that we will
"participate in our destruction."—Klemm.

Facing Problems?
i Students are always being faced with
some kind of dilemma — anywhere from
wondering whether or not to cut a class,
to the possibility of dropping out of col­lege
entirely. Such problems are not
unique to college students, but make up an
integral part of everyone's daily existance.
The* ability to meet these daily problems
with mature decisions demonstrates, to
what extent a person is equipped to handle
his job and.personal life.
A college education should give a per­son
a firm foundation in developing that
type of personality that can face decision's
realistically and take them in their stride.
But how often does a person who is a pro­duct
of this type of higher education live
up to the standards? It would be very dif­ficult,
if not impossible, to tell exactly. /
It is, however, quite easy to observe the
unstable condition of the world today, and
draw many conclusions. Volumns have
been written about the "indecision and
fear of the future" that characterizes the
youth of this atomic age. As we see it,
much of the blame should actually be
placed on inabilities of those responsible
for producing such chaotic times.
We believe that the young men and
women of today are better equipped to
cope with decision and responsibility than
their forefathers were because of the con­ditions
we; are forced to accept. It takes
a good deal of faith and confidence in the
future to plan a life with the threat of yet
another world war ever present.
Ours is a faith based on cold hard facts,
not on the somewhat vague notion that-everything
will be alright because that's
the way life should be. The future will be
better because some young people believe,
"we can make it better."

Walk, It's Nearer
The student who said he walked to
school because it was too far to drive has
touched upon a significant point. The cri­tical
parking problem on campus could be
alleviated somewhat if more students who
live in nearby dorms would walk to classes
rather than bring their automobiles. The
block-circling search for parking space in­deed
makes walking seem simpler.

By Rudolph Grantham
Eight other Auburn students and
I recently attended the Student
Volunteer Movement Conference
in Athens. Practically all Christian
denominations from all over the
world were present, which made
it a great ecumenical experience.
At one level, for example, was
my Bible study group. Represent­ed
there was a Mennonite from
Canada, a Quaker from Jordan, a
Syrian Orthodox from India, a
Presbyterian from Lebanon, a Ko­rean
Methodist, a member of the
United Church of Japan, an Epis­copalian
from Hong Kong, five
Americans—three Methodists, one
Presbyterian and one Episcopalian.
As you can imagine, this Bible
group was one of the conference
high points, for in the exchange of
ideas each of us discovered our
points of agreement and in the
process^ we left part of our excess
baggage of minor religious doc­trine,
ritual', and heritage which
We tiad'beeri collecting through the'
centuries and -which has been
keeping us apart. This group was
unusual because of the fact that
we discovered we really were
closer together than we realized,
and that we could talk together
about our differences.
But, "by far the greatest ex­perience
was Holy Communion on
the last night. It was administered
by Episcopal Bishop Hobson and
thirteen ministers from all over
the world. The auditorium was
jammed. It was a sight too great
forewords to tell. There were Scots
in their kilts, Chinese women in
their native dress, South Africans
in their bright yellow and purple
striped robe, Indian women in
bright colored saris, and of course
the Americans.
It was not the dress itself; how­ever,
which was important. That
merely symbolized the fact that
we were going one step farther
than just co-operating with and
tolerating each other. This was the
high point of the conference. We
students had communion together.
The Lord's Supper had new mean­ing
for us that night, and no num­ber
of sermons could have made
us feel more our brotherhood in
Christ than this one experience
did.
We who attended returned home
as* different people;- people*-who
"are ecumenically minded, com-mited
to the task of helping all
become one in Christ.
Jam a la Broun
" By Millard Fuller
Are you one of those poor un­fortunate
beings that has a class
in one of our famous landmarks of
Auburn—Broun Hall? If so, you
will recollect that there are two
very noticable-things present in.
this lovely structure, namely peo­ple
and stairways. Of course, the
aforementioned does not consti­tute
all that, is commonly called
Broun Hall, but it does consti­tute
a- large portion. Ah yes, there
is one other very important fix­ture
in this edifice that has bear­ing
on the following case. This
fixture, a device called a bell' is
the agent that brings people and
stairs. into contact.
a Now, people are nice—generally
speaking. So are stairways. Like­wise,
bells are OK. But, put the
three together in Broun Hall and
the result is one big mess — es­pecially
in the forenoon. When the
bells ring and classes dismiss,'
there is one big mad rush to beat
the crowd down the stairs. People
come from everywhere and, down
the stairs they charge. Things
would go fairly well except for
one small detail—an army of in­coming
students is marching up
the stairs. The enevitable happens.
Somewhere about the second floor
the two forces meet, and Opera­tion
Stagnation begins. The lead­ers
of both groups first have a
conference to settle the foreign
policy issue. Then Operiation
Stagnation continues. Well, after
so long, the leaders again confer,
and after considerable bickerings,
agreeable terms are reached, and '
slowly the two troops file past
each other.
By the time all this has taken
place, it is approximately 9 min­utes
and 59 seconds past the hour
•—a whole second left in which to
make it to the next class (which
is usually on Ag Hill or in the
Sports Arena).
Seriously, this is a problem of
concern to the whole campus. It
is one that all of us should think
about and do our part to alleviate.
This problem just bears out furth­er
the oft related fact that Auburn
has outgrown its facilities. But, be
as it may, the situation does exist,
and it needs to be corrected, as far
as possible, under the existing
conditions.
Here are a few suggestions that
By Tim FOrd
The field of journalism has add­ed
something revolutionary as far
as the male is concerned. Have
you read a copy of Playboy late­ly?
That is the journalistic an­swer
to the modern, urban man's
entertainment problems. There
are several magazines of this
t y p e on the
market, notably
Playboy, Nug­get
and Esca -
pade, w h i ch
specialize i n
t h i s modern,
broad minded,
racy type of
humor.
These maga­zines
run the
gamut as far as individual interests
are concerned. Not only do they
appeal to the male, but a vast ma-will
help the traffic problem, if
carried out. First of all, the buz­zer
system should be changed so
that the first floor classes get out
two minutes before the hour, the
second floor on the hour, and the
third floor two minutes after the
hour. By using this method of dis­missal,
the traffic lines could be
staggered without disturbing any
classes—since the first floor of
classes will be dismissed before
the second floor comes tromping
down the stairs, and second and
first floor classes will be dismiss­ed
before the third floor comes
trooping down the stairs. Another
feasible plan, to be used along
with this one or separately, is to
have all incoming students wait
until at least five minutes after'
the hour before getting on the
stairs. Finally, the stairs could be
made onerway. In other words-,
incoming students could use the
east stairway, and the outgoing,
students could use the west stair­ways.
While we are on the subject of
dear old Broun Hall, there is one
other undisirable situation exist­ing
there. This situation is caused
by the lack of shades for many of
the windows. Sunlight pours into
these windows unhindered, right
onto the desks of several people.
Needless to say, this glaring light
is not only distracting but is the
cause of much discomfort to
these students.
> Last quarter a petition request­ing
that shades be put into the
windows was signed by an entire
class which neither got the shades
nor an explanation as to why they
didn't. According to rumor, the
petition was placed in "File 13?"
jority of females are becoming
addicted to their use. Why, just
the other night a fast talking
coed swiped one from my glove
compartment. Which didn't prov^
anything until I later found out
that 17 girls in her dorm took out
subscriptions—^which incidentally
I am not trying to sell.
Anyway, they do serve some
excellent purposes. For exam­ple,
a copy of Playboy can work
mathematical impossiblities. It
can reduce this overwhelming
five to one ratio. Try curling up
with a copy next time your best
girls say "No". You'll never miss
'em. Well—almost never.
Also a hefty copy .of one of
these magazines works as a won­derful
substitute for a tired, dog­eared
textbook. It couples all
the wit, intelligence and, saucy
humor into a lesson of strictly
good livin'. Culture is surely
emphasized, but it is served up
in such tasty dish, flavored amp­ly
with sauce a la Erskine Cald­well,
a dash of Jack Cole and a
pinch of Rex Fabin, than in the
midst of all this flavor it almost
goes unnoticed until you realize
you've beep reading Voltaire, ex­cerpts
from the classics, etc. As
yet, it has not been substituted
for EH-253, but we're working on
it.
We certainly hope the publish­ers
will increase Auburn's allot­ment
in the future, 'cause you can
hardly get them anymore. That
is unless you feel like going over
to the Dorms to borrow one and
letting all the girls know you
weren't FAST enough to get your
copy from the mad rush at the
newstands.
Book Buying Is Risky Business
By Dolly Fulkerson
. Some things like beginnings and
endings of quarters come around
pretty regularly, and with them
comes the buying and selling of
books. With this buying and sell­ing
comes the inevitable comment
from students, to the effect that'
"highway robbery" has occured,
that the bookstores get you com­ing
or going, or
. both.
Well, there's
no doubt about
it, school books
do cost money;
some profs do
make is neces­sary
for you to
buy books (es­pecially
those
who take their
questions for quizes directly
from the dark print and lists that
are numbered throughout the
book).
One thing most students don't
realize when they complain about
the bookstores charging fabulous
prices, is that these stores don't
establish their own selling prices.
. . . the publisher does. 'The book­stores
receive 20 per cent profit
from the sale of new books.
Another thing that isn't taken
into consideration is • that buying
used books is-a pretty risky busi­ness
unless the buyer knows for
sure that the book will be used
next quarter. This is the situation.
A book is sold new for $5.00. It
is used all quarter and then if it
is in good condition, any of the
three bookstores in town will buy
it back for half price providing it
will be used the next quarter. But
the stores have no guarantees that
all the used books they buy will
be resold. If they have used books
left over, they may do one of
two things. . . ship them to another
.bookstore that needs them (ac­cording
to Mr. George Johnson of
Johnson and Malone's, this other
bookstore might pay him as much
as 45 per cent of the original sell­ing
price for the used book); send
the used books to a wholesaler to
sell. If the wholesaler sells the
books he might pay as low as 25
per cent of the original selling
price J o our bookstore here.
In the instance of sending the
used books to another bookstore,
our stores here take a loss of 5
per cent. They sold a new book
for $5.00, bought it back for $2.50
(half price), and sold it to another
bookstore for $2.25.
If the book is sent to wholesaler,
a loss of 50 per cent may be taken;
the wholesaler paying as low as
$1.25 for a book that our bookstore
bought for $2.50.
In these cases, the used book
is in good condition. The prices
vary in accordance with the
amount of abuse the book has re­ceived.
When used books'are sold back
to students here the profit received
by the downtown bookstores is 50
per cent. A used book bought for
$2.50 is sold to the student for
$3.75. The college bookstore re­ceives
a profit of 40 per cent on
the resale of used books.
Well, we don't expect this to be
the end of all the complaining. But
it does seem to us that certain
profits must be made to more than
offset losses taken, so the book­stores
can stay in business. After
all, the books are used for at least
a whole quarter, aren't they?
When we buy a new book and
sell it back for half price at the
end of the quarter, what we're
really doing is paying $2.50 for
renting and using the book for two
and a half months.
The Gals Go To The Dogs
By Bill„ Klemm
Scenery on Vet Hill has had a
f new face lifting this quarter.
Now, one perceives not only stray
dogs, incinerator odors, formalde­hyde,
and frus­trated
veterin-a
r y students,
but also wom-men.
Over a hun­dred
coeds are
taking' various
courses (phys­iology,
bacteri­ology,
etc.) on
Vet Hill. These
frail, unsuspecting, creatures of
femininity have been cast amongst
the lot of wolvers — wolves that
are love starved as only veterinary
students can be.
No longer do the embryo vets
mope around between classes,
their.minds buried deep under the
burden of scientific introspect.
Now they stand alertly, goggle-eyed
and fascinated, over their
hew between-class diversion.
For the women it is probably
a new experience of having such
an extremely appreciative audi­ence.
And for the men — well
. . . medicine was never like this.
.'•• * *
The dean of women at a well-known
university called a meet­ing
of several •. female student
leaders. The meeting had been
called, she explained, after she
and the president had .decided
there was too much romancing
going around the campus.
Attempting to clear up the
statement, she added, "What »I
mean is I intend to stop this kiss­ing
going on under my nose."

JAZZ is on its way at Auburn.
Last Friday night's "Battle of the
Bands" between the Auburn
Knights and the Cavaliers served
to dramatize the infiltration of
jazz into local music. Most of
the other local combos either play
jazz exclusively or incorporate it
into their repertoire. And much
to everyone's surprise jazz can be
danceable. Its biggest drawback,
apparently, is that you can't bop
to it. But then, is that so bad?
Excellent Shows Coming
By Sam Houston
Due mainly to the resourceful
efforts of the Union Recreation
committee, you will be treated to
some excellent films in the ball­room
of the Union this quarter.
Two films have already been
shown of unusual quality and
there are more
in the offing.
"Pickwick Pap­ers,"
and
" S n a k e Pit"
were shown in
the past . two
w e e k s , and
t h e r e others
later in t he
quarter should
play to packed
houses.
On February 14 "The Male An­imal,"
somthing of a film clas­sic
itself, will be seen and on
February 21 "Oxbow Incident," is
offered. This later bit of cinema­tography
is one of the tenset and
most spell binding jobs Holly­wood
has ever turned out. It is
the story of a lynch mob and how
its hysteria causes the death of
three innocent men.
From the novel by Walter Van ,
Tilburg Clark, this story has great
depth of symbolism and has been
compared in its hysteria to. the
death of Jesus Christ.
Clark puts three men out in
the woods camping, and these are
accused of a violent crime against
an individual in the nearby small
town. Most of the picture is tak­en
up in arguments over whether
or not the men should be chang­ed.
When they finally are it is
discovered that they were inno­cent.
The effect of this news
brings about a startling climax
that will leave you wondering
about your sanity.
This is easily the finest show
of the quarter.
"Martin Luther" comes on Mar.
27. A dynamic picture, the ac­tual
location are the same spots
in Germany where Luther
brought about his world-shaking
revolution in the Catholic Church.
The film follows Lutheran history
quite closely and in doing so,
without any Hollywood flourish­es,
or possibly because of this,
makes the show a plausible and
powerful drama about a man's
fight within himself to distinguish
right from wrong.
If this picture is to be taken
as actual fact, it will clear up
many misconceptions and falla­cies
of this turbulent period of
history.
Frosh Traditions?
The preacher was dining with
the Smiths, and Mrs. Smith, who
had been coaching her little son
on his table manners, was as­tounded
to hear Junior give out
with a burp.
"Oh, Junior," the mother hast­ened
to admonish, "what do you
say?"
"Hapee—ee New Year!" Junior
shou'ted. /

But when all's said and done
every girl should get married.
It's so much better than ending
up being an old maid with six
children—baby sitting of course.
By Hal Morgan
Back during the first of Fall
Quarter at class change time a
sea of orange could be seen
streaming from the buildings as
the freshmen in their rat caps
moved from one place to another.
The upperclassmen observed that
a large number of people were
taking the detour around main
gate as they moved onto or off of
the campus. These also were new
freshmen observing the traditions
that had come down to them
through the annals of Auburn his­tory.
Alabama having gone down in
defeat the .bright orange of the
rat caps soon disappeared. It
seems, however^ that a number of
the other traditions have also
gone the way of the rat caps.
Very rarely now can a student be
seen walking around main gate.
Frost turnout for the fall elec­tions
was poor. On some parts of
the campus the grass has liter­ally
been trampled into oblivion
by careless feet, a large per cent
of them belonging to freshmen.
What has happened to the
freshman traditions? Certainly
we still have freshmen so it is
not a shortage of people that is
causing the change at main gate
and on other parts of the campus.
The change must be caused by an
indifference in the attitude of the
freshmen or perhaps even in that
of the upperclassmen.
In years gone by these tradi­tions
were built up bit by bit and
have been passed down from one
freshman class to another as a
part of the "Auburn Spirit." The
•older alumni, looking back on
their college days, hold dear the
time that they spent as freshmen
and the traditions that they lived
by. They recognize their true
value now more than ever.
Let's hope that our freshmen
will reawaken to the spirit that
has always been in every Au­burn
student's, hearts The pride
of being a freshman at API and
that of becoming an upperclass-man
will mean so much more to
those who follow these traditions.,

Reuben Finney Awarded
$5,500 Scholarship
Reuben C. Finney, Buffalo, a "straight A" pre-med stu­dent
at Auburn, and son of former major league baseball
player, Hal Finney, has been awarded a $5,500 Binz
Memorial Scholarship to attend School of Medicine, Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, for the next four years.
He plans to enter medical college next September.
In addition to being a "straight
f A"' student, Reuben is a 3-time
baseball letterman, a two-year
member of Auburn's cross coun­t
ry track team, and the winner
of the ODK-Wilbur Hutsell cake
race in 1953. He also is a member
of the Auburn Chapter of Pi Kap­pa
Alpha.
"After review of your record
and the recommendations of your
instructors, the faculty of the
School of Medicine voted today
to award you a Binz Memorial
Scholarship," says a letter receiv­ed
by Reuben from John L. Caug-hey,
associate dean of the Cleve­land
school.
"The only requirement for con­tinuation
of the scholarship over
four years is that the student
maintain a satisfactory status in
his work here."
Since starting his study of pre-medicine
at the Alabama Poly-
I technic Institute in the - fall of
1952 Reuben has straight A's in
all courses with the exception of
one B in English literature the
past fall.
He has made the dean's honor
roll for the seventh time.
Recommending hirri for the
scholarship, Dr. Roger G. Allen,
dean, School of Science and Lit­erature,
Auburn, said:
"He is the only student (pre-medical
and all other) who has
made an "A" grade in every
course through the junior year
during the 14 years I have been
in the dean's office at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
He is just as outstanding in
character and personality traits
and is an outstanding baseball
and track athlete. He is emo­tionally
mature, well adjusted so­cially
and is a young man of
initiative and sound judgment."
Reuben is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hal Finney, Buffalo, Cham­bers
County, Ala., where Mr. Fin­ney
operates a dairy, cotton and
feed farm.
Before starting his farming ca­reer
in 1936, Reuben's' father at­tended
Birmingham Southern
College and then played major
league baseball for Pittsburgh.
RUBEN C. FINNEY, Buffalo, is shown being congratulated by
Dr. M. C. Huntley, dean of faculties, Auburn, upon being awarded a
$5,500 medical scholarship to Western Reserve University, Cleve­land,
.Ohio. Looking on are Mr. and Mrs. Hal Finney, Reuben's
father and mother and his 12-year old sister, Millie.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
"One open door after another"
"That's how I feel about the telephone
company," says Walter D. Walker,
B.E.E., University of Minnesota, '51.
"When I joined the company I felt that
I could go in any direction. And that's
the way it's been.
"For the first six months I was given
on-the-job training in the fundamentals
of the telephone business—how lines are
put up and equipment installed. Learn­ing
those fundamentals has really paid
off for me.
"Then I had the opportunity to go to
the Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.
I worked on memory crystals—ferro­electric
crystals— for use in digital com­puters.
I learned how important research
is to the telephone business.*1' •
"After two years I came back to Min­nesota,
to St. Cloud, to work in the
District Plant Engineer's Office. There
I made field studies of proposed con­struction
projects and drew up plans to
guide the construction crews. This com­bination
of inside and outside w<*k
gave me invaluable experience.
"In July, 1955,1 came to Minneapolis
as an Engineer in the Exchange Plant
Extension Engineer's Office. We do fore­casting—
not of the weather, but of fu­ture
service needs. Using estimates of
growth and economic studies, we make
our plans for the years ahead. We fig-'
ure out where and when new facilities
will be needed to meet'future growth.
"All this has been preparing me for
a real future. You see, the telephone
company is expanding by leaps and
bounds. That's why it offers a young
man so many open doors."

Team's MVP Selection Announced;
Tiger Grid Standouts Reap Honors
Even though the final game of the 1955 football season
has been played, grid honors continue to r a i n down upon
t h e heads of the deserving. As recently as last Thursday
night another award was' bestowed upon an Auburn player.
The award, which went to the "Most Valuable Player" of 1955,
was sponsored 'by the Tiger Theater. Few real Tiger fans were sur­prised
when Coach Buck Bradberry announced the honoree's name.
Bob Scarbrough, captain and unsung hero of the Orange and Blue, was
the deserving lad who stepped on stage to accept this the highest of
Auburn football honors. . . . the fact that the team members were
the sole voters for the award gives added weight ot this trophy's im­portance.
After all, no one should know better the ability and attitude
of a player than his teammates.
Although Scarbrough reaped no All-America plums, the As­sociated
Press placed him on their group of AU-SEC gridders. He
also played in the Senior Bowl and received a bid to participate in
the Blue-Gray Game.
Fob James recently chalked up another grid distinction; the At­lanta
Tounchdown Club (which for some reason seems partial to the
Yellowjackets) selected James as the back of the year in the SEC;
they will honor him for his outstanding Saturday afternoon efforts on
January 21.
Fob James was selected on no less than four All-SEC elevens, led
the conference in rushing, was' placed on two AU-American line-ups,
and was named the "Most Valuable Player in the SEC" by the Atlanta
Constitution. . . . quite an enviable record established by our Fob.
"Joltin' Joe" Childress was officially recognized to be constructed
of All-America fiber innumerable times in the past months; space
permits the listing of only a few . . . these being Look Magazine, Sport­ing
News, NEA, Collier's Magazine, Police Gazette, and Paramount
News.
In the most recent version of the Senior Bowl, the "Jolter"
scored all of the South's points and received the South's Best Back
Award; to add to his trophies, scrolls, and plaques, Childress can
boast a new car presented him by his hometown fans from Baldwin
County.
D'Agostino, Bracken Lauded
Another gridder Jtrom the Plains who can't count all of his Ail-
American honors on one hand is left tackle Frank D'Agostino. He
can list AP, Collier's, Movietone News, The (New York) Times, and
Sportsvision as some of the AA selections to his credit. Frank, another
Senior Bowl participant, received All-SEC recognition from AP and
UP.
The "Best Defensive Tackle in SEC" was the Atlanta Con­stitution's
description of Auburn's brawniest lineman, M. L.
Brackett. He was also placed on the Player's All-SEC and the
All-SEC picks of UP and AP.
More Honors
Jimmy "Red" Phillips, aside from finding himself named to. All-
SEC, All-South, and All-America elevens by INS, was denoted as the
"SEC Sophomore of the Year" by the Atlanta Constitution. The big
right end was also second string All-SEC according to AP and UP
selections. ,. .- ^_ ,
. Although we r.ealize that these many' and large gridiron honors
have been listed, one or another, in various publications, we thought
that the whole pile of them might be noteworthy for Tiger fans . . >
and also help convince the cynics that the best team won on that
crisp Saturday in Atlanta last October. By all indications the above
list is not complete.
Turmoil at Tennessee
'The star of Tennessee's basketball fivesome, which will meet the
Plainsmen come Feb. 25, found himself in somewhat embarassing
situation last week. Carl Widseth, although he played all but four
minutes of the contest, blacked out in the opening minutes of action
and didn't snap outo f it until about an hour after the final whistle.
He still doesn't remember any details of the game. Tennessee Coach
Emmett Lowry said after the contest, in which Vandy tromped the
Vols 84-57, that Widseth was lucky. "I'd like to be able to forget
most of that game myself," commented the UT coach.
Captain, Co-Captain Elected
Congratulations are centainly in order to Jerry Elliott and Frank
Reeves of the Orange and Blue eleven. It was announced also Thurs­day
night that these two valuable gridders would lead Coach Ralph
Jordan's '56 squad as captain and co-captain, respectively.
Elliott, called by Coach Jordan "the best all-round end we've got,"
became a regular starter in the latter part of the past season. . . .
typical of his brand of ball was Jerry's performance in the Georgia
contest. He converted an intercepted pass into the six points which
decided the ball game.
Reeves played behind last year's captain, center Bob ,Scarbrough.
It might just be a coincidence, but it was Frank who gobbled up
another Georgia pass, shortly before Elliott's feat. Reeves 55 yard
runback was just a few yards shy of paydirt.

Eavesmen Hope To Improve Record
Against Second Division Opponents

Coach Joel Eaves' basketball c r ew hopes to make "March­ing
through Georgia" their theme song this weekend as they
move across t h e s t a t e line for encounters with t h e University
of Georgia and Georgia Tech. Athens will be the scene of
'action on Saturday night with a Monday night session in
Atlanta scheduled to follow. _, ' ,
Don Hartsfield, 6 0 at guards;

Allen, 6'2", and Curtis Gleaton,
6'4", forwards.
The Plainsmen will be out to
better their 2-2 conference record
against two teams which have yet
to win an SEC tilt. Both had 0-3
win-loss marks through last Fri­day
night.
Althbugh the Bulldogs still
boast little 5'10" Morris Dinwid-die,
who hit 391 points in the 1955
campaign, they have lost six con­secutive
games this season. Their
overall record is 1-8, the only vic­tory
being over Mercer, 75-72 A
possible explanation for this los­ing
streak might lie in the fact
that most of these games were
played away from home. The
Bulldogs took almost every home
engagement last year, but lost
heavily on road trips. Their only
home games this winter have
been against Mercer and Tennes­see.

Tigers Scare Tide
In Coliseum Tilt,
But Lose, 86-77
Although rated as a decided
underdog, Coach Joel Eaves'
Tiger cage crew t h r ew a real
scare into Johnny Dee's Ala­bama
herd before bowing, 86-
77, in last aSturday night's
game at the Montgomery Co­liseum.
The Plainsmen jumped into an
early lead which they held
throughout the first half. At one
time they led 22-11, but the Tid-ers
narrowed the margin to 42-
36 by intermission.
With the scoreboard clock read­ing
16:43, Alabama finally gain­ed
the lead. After George Linn
had tied the score at 44-44 on free
throws, center Jerry Harper got
two more to put the Tide in front
to stay.
Big Bil McGriff appeared to
furnish not only the height, but
also the spark which kept the
Tigers in front during the first
half as he scored 16 points and
pulled down innumerable re­bounds
although competing with
'Bama's Jack Fulmer, 6'7", and
Harper, 6'8". When he fouled
out with six minutes left in the
fray, he had bucketed a total of
19 markers.
Brownie Nelson was another
horse for the Plainsmen as he
poured 18 points through the
hoop principally on driving lay-ups
and a fast break across the
free throw lane.
The third Eavesman to hit in
the double figures was forward
Kay Slayden who got 14 before
leaving the game on five per­sonals.

State Grid Title
Goes To ATO's
The Alpha Tau Omega football
squad, champions of fraternity
football at Auburn for the second
straight season, became champs
of the entire state of' Alabama
last Saturday with a 6-0 triumph
over the 'Bama Kappa Alpha's
on the University Intramural
field.
An intercepted pass by Tim
Ogle gave the ATO's the pigskin
at their opponent's eight yard
line. On the following play, John
Denson hit Walter Morris with
a pass in the end zone for the
only score of the hard-fought
contest.
A pass play from Denson to
Ogle for the extra point was com­plete,
but gained only one of the
needed two yards needed for the
one-pointer.
All totaled, the contest was ex­tremely
close with both elevens
relying heavily on their passing
attacks. The ATO's were super­ior
in the air completing 14 pass­es
to 10 for the losers, while the
'Bama champs were. tops on the
ground, but. never could dent the
winner's goal line.
Auburn set some kind of a rec­ord
for football recruiting this
past fall when they took the ma­jority
of "honor" boys from the
state of Georgia All-Star groups.
Tiger coaches signed the 1955
Class AA, Class A, and Class B
"Backs of the Year"; also the
Class B "Lineman of the Year"
was signed.
Plainsmen Frosh Beat 'Bama, 82-74
To Remain Undefeated Through 5 Tilts
The undefeated Freshman cage crew of Coach Bill Lynn
continued their winning ways last Saturday night as they
bounced their Alabama counterparts, 82-74, in a preliminary
to t h e Tiger-Tide varsity clash in the Montgomery Coliseum.
Behind by six points at the half, the junior Plainsmen
bucketed 48 second stanza points,
EXCITEMENT RAN HIGH in last week's Auburn-'Bama fray.
Tension shows on the face of George Linn of the Crimson Tide as
he pulls down a rebound under his own basket. The University
cagers came out on the long end of the score 86-77.
Bill McGriff, Tiger Rebounding Ace,
Holder Of Every Pisgah High Record
By George Wendell
Plainsman Sports Writer
A former high school sensation
and now one of the brightest pros­pects
of the Tiger cage crew—these
words are the best description for
Sophomore Bill McGriff, 6-7 var­sity
center from Jackson county.
After three years of high school
ball at Pisgah, Bill came to Au­burn
where he is now one of the
mainstays of the Plainsman at­tack.
When at Pisgah, Bill, being one
of the most acclaimed basketeers
in the state, broke every school
record. Two of his greater ac­complishments
were; scoring 52
points in one game and scoring
1,866 points over a three year
span. In his junior year McGriff
made All County and All District
and then in his senior year he re­ceived
All County, All District and
All State honors. In the 1953 State
tournament, Bill was not only
named the "Most Valuable Player"
but he also set three state records,

a 6'3" forward from Hunts-ville,
had "a total of 22 for the ev­ening

a guard, poured in 19 markers
to take the runnerup spot. .
As late as six minutes into the
final period, Auburn still trailed,
53-43. Then the Baby Tigers got
hot. They not only began to hit
from all angles, but Hart and
guard Jimmy Lee put on a fancy

HOW TO BE A BWOG
A few weeks ago in this space I passed on some hints to college
men who wished to become BMOCs. I would be remiss not to do
the same for college women who wish to become BWOCs.
The first and most basic step on the road to being a BWOC
is to attract attention. Get yourself noticed. But be very, very
careful not to do it the wrong way. I mean, any old girl is bound
to be noticed if she goes around with a placard that says, "HEY!
LOOKIT ME!" Don't you make such a horrid gaffe. On your
placard put: "ZUT! REGARDEZ-MOl!" This, as you can see,
lends a whole new dimension of tone and dignity.
Once you have been noticed, it is no longer necessary to carry
the placard. It will suffice if, from time to time, you make dis­tinctive
noises. If, for instance, every three or four minutes
you cry, "Whip-poor-will!" you cannot but stay fresh in the;
minds of onlookers.
We come now to clothes, a vital accessory to the BWOC-indeed,
to any girl who wishes to remain out of jail. But to the BWOC
clothes are more than just a decent cover; they are, it is not too
much to say, a way of life.
This year the "little boy look" is all the rage on campus. Every
coed, in a mad effort to look like a little boy, is wearing short?1
pants, knee sox, and boy-shirts. But the BWOC is doing more.
She has gone the whole hog in achieving little boyhood. She,
has frogs in her pockets, scabs on her knees, down on her upper'
lip, and is followed everywhere by a dog named Spot.
All this, Of course, is only by day. When evening falls and her
date comes calling, the BWOC is the very picture of chic fem­ininity.
She dresses in severe, simple basic black, relieved only
by a fourteen pound charm bracelet. Her hair is exquisitely
coiffed, with a fresh rubber band around the pony tail. Her
daytime scuffs have been replaced by fashionable high heeled
pumps, and she does not remove them until she gets to the movies.
After the "movies at the campus cafe, the. BWOC undergoes
her severest test. The true BWOC will never, nev,er, never, order •
the entire menu. This is gluttony and can only cause one's date-to
blench. The true BWOC will pick six or seven good entrees
and then have nothing more till dessert. This is class and is the
hallmark of the true BWOC.
jfctefcWs&tiF
Finally, the BWOC, upon being asked by the cigarette vendor
which is the brand of her choice, will always reply, "Philip
Morris, of corris!" F o r ^ n y girl knows that a Philip Morris
in one's hand stamps one instantly as a person of taste and
discernment, as the possessor of an educated palate, as a con­noisseur
of the finer, gentler, higher pleasures. This Philip
Morris, this badge of savoir faire, now comes to you.in a smart
new pack of red, white and gold, in king-size or regular, at
popular prices, wherever cigarettes are sold. ©Mai suuiman. 1055
To all on campus, big or small, men or women, the makers of Philip
Morrisj who bring you this column, extend a cordial invitation to try
today's gentle Philip Morris, made gentle to smoke gentle.

the tournament, 121; and most
field goals in a single game, 18.
Thus far this season, Bill, whose
favorite shot is a hook, has scor­ed
129 points in 9 games. His best
game to date was against Birm­ingham
Southern, in which he
scored 28 points. When asked what
he thought of Coach Joel Eaves,
Bill, an accounting major, replied,
"Coach has a lot of patience and
is a very smart man." If Bill de^
velops as much in the next two'
years as he has in his first year,
and a half, he will be a threat to
every scoring record at Auburn.

Outstanding Leaders In Campus Life
Boasted By NROTC As Top Cadets
BY JIM WALDRUP
Plainsman Staff Writer
The Navy ROTC unit at API can certainly boast that its
cadet leaders are also recognized as outstanding leaders in
other phases of campus life.
On the Auburn campus the Naval ROTC is relatively
small when compared with the other ROTC establishments.
But within the Navy ROTC unit m a n d e r from v i c k s b u r g ; MisS-> is
more student body leaders are
found, "unproportional" to the
number of students enrolled in the
other ROTC units.
The field of interest in which
NROTC students participate is un­limited.
Yet these students have
established themselves and their
NROTC unit as one' of the most
outstanding organizations on cam­pus.
,
Representative of the NROTC
unit, the extra-cuddicula, activities
of several midshipmen give an
idea of the student leadership that
makes the NROTC such an im­portant
organization.

And then there's the educator
who put his foot in his mouth. "I
shall now illustrate what I have
on my mind," said the professor
as he erased the blackboard. A

have so much to learn.
