Eminent Cancer Research Worker
Succumbs In Lee County Hospital
RELAXING FROM SCHOOL WORK—Nancy Bell, a freshman
in Science and Lit. from Avondale Estates, Ga., takes
time out to play on the seesaw in the City Park.
Don H. Copeland, one of the
nation's leading cancer research
workers, died last Friday at the
Lee County Hospital, Opelika, of
a cerebral hemorrhage. He was
42.
A staff member of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute for 18 years,
Mr. Copeland was associate animal
pathologist in the Agricultural
Experiment Station Animal
Husbandry and Nutrition Department.
He joined the API staff in January,
1939, as an instructor in
the Zoology-Entomology Department.
In June, 1942, he began
part-time research in the Animal
Husbandry and Nutrition Department
and continued his teaching
assignment. The following year
he became full-time research
worker, joining Salmon in his nutritional
work on deficiences of
vitamin B6 and choline.
Commenting on the death of
Copeland, Professor Salmon made
this statement: "He not only was
an outstanding man personally
who was always interested in civic
affairs, especially work with
young people. He was a painstaking,
thorough, and conscientous
research worker. His passing is a
tragic loss to the field of cancer
research.
Copeland was a member of the
Auburn First Baptist C h u r c h ,
Lions Club, and Masons. He
held membership in the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science, Association for
Cancer Research, Sigma Xi professional
fraternity, and Gamma
Sigma Delta honorary fraternity.

Exceptional Child
Subject For Talk
Speaking before the conference
on Gifted and Exceptional Children,
presented last week by the
School of Education and the De?
partment of Speech, was Dr. Stan-:
ley Ainsworth, chairman of the
program for exceptional children,
University of Georgia. .
Speaking of the subject, "Problem
Areas in Special Education,"
Dr. Ainsworth emphasized the
need for trained personnel in the
field of education for handicapped
children. He outlined methods by
which communities must be educated
in ways of handling the
handicapped child, and stated examples
of several communities in
Georgia and Alabama with successful
programs for handling
handicapped child and stated ex-elaborated
on the problems facing
the teacher who is working
with handicapped children and
offered several solutions to various
problems that would arise.
Dr. Ainsworth, author of several
books on special education,
has had more than twenty-five
years experience in handling and
teaching handicapped and gifted
children,-Formerly a professor at
Ohio State, he later accepted the
chairmanship of the department
of speech, and in 1953, became
professor of speech correction at
the University of Georgia.
Chanticleer's Concert
Acclaimed By Students
By Eugene McManus
One of t h e best received performances of Auburn's Lect
u r e and Concert series was p r e s e n t e d in t h e Union Ballroom
last Wednesday. The Chanticleers, featuring t h e tenor voices
of William Diard and Richard Wright and strengthened by
Baritone Raymond Keast and bass J a m e s Martindale held a
near capacity audience spellbound
from their introductory
song "Song of the Chanticleers,"
to their closing encore number,
"Good Night, It's time to go
Home."
For their first selection, they
chose one of Bach's more famous
cantatas, number 208, "Sheep
May Safely Graze." This was followed
by a selection from the
Era of Elizabeth I, composed by
Thomas Morley. Following these
were selections by Pergolesi and
Durante.
Martendale then sang several
solos, ranging from Verdi to
American spirituals.
Several solo selections were
then presented by Keast who
borrowed from opera and American
folk-music.
The four Chanticleers then, re-v
appeared to present their version
of "HMS Penifore,", by Gilbert
and Sullivan.
Wright, who displayed quite a
sense of humor during his solo,
explained to the audience that
since the Chanticleers had on female
voices nor the required
number of voices to comprise a
chorous, would nevertheless do
their best in their version of this
its staging, was perhaps the most
successful of their numbers.
Having paid this tribute to the
British Admirality, the Chanticleers
retired momentarily for a
well earned intermission.
Following the intermission, so*
los were presented by Keast and
Diard. These solos emphasized
once again the versality of the
Chanticleers.
For the second half of their
program, the Chanticleers presented
selections from recent
stage musicals and several American
and Irish folk tunes.
Having delighted the audience
with such selections as "Shenandoah,"
"When Johnny Cornea
Marching Home" and "MacNa-nara's
Band," the Chanticleers,
followed with "They Call the
JVind Maria," by Fredrich Lowe,
from "Paint Your Wagon," a folk
type western song, this was a
pleasing and refreshing surprise
especially as presented by the
Chanticleers.
"Economics" from 'Love Life'
by Kurt Weill, and "Come to Me,"
by Fredrick Lowe, from "Briga-doon,"
'followed in quick succession
both having been given unique
appeal by the Chanticleers
light operetta. This selection, and presentation.
Sixteen Auburn Coeds
Enrolled In Engineering
By Louise P. Trotter
It may be a "man's world" but accepted by both boys and pro-
_ " " . . -r -. t • . T 1 /• • 1 _ll .1 1 i ll 16 Auburn coeds believe that en
gineering isn't exclusively a
man's field.
Outnumbered almost 200 to one
by their fellow men students,
these coeds are tackling such ob
jects as calculus, chemistry, kine- the students hadn't been such a
matics, aerodynamics, hydraulics, help." Generally this seems to
electronics and thermodynamics be the feeling of the other girls.
wi th determination and enthus They are grateful for the en-iasm.
The girls enrolled in engineering
and their courses are: Nora
Frances Smith, Martin, Tenn.,
electrical engineering; Mary Annette
Moss, Birmingham, and
Betty Schuessler, Columbus, Ga.,
civil engineering; Befke DeRing,
Plant City, Fla.; Decie Finnie,
LaFayette, and Lynda Stewart,
Lafayette, textile management.
Enrolled in chemical engineering
are Gail Barclay, Sheffield;
Ann Lynne Palmer, Birmingham;
Billie Gail Kuykendall, Pinson,
and Camelia Parrish, Pensacola,
Fla, Mechanical engineering students
are Francile Scott, Leeds,
and Barbara Siurua, Mobile.
Others are: Helen Copeland,
Carrollton, Ga., industrial management;
Glenda Ree Bolton, Sy-lacauga,
textile engineering. Ann
Scheiwe, Montgomery, is enrolled
in; aeronautical engineering and
Patricia Groves, Atlanta Ga., is
in -engineering physics.
These girls give various reasons
for choosing engineering as their
career. Several chose engineering-
because aptitude tests indicated
they would be good in
science and technical fields. Three
are holders of Avondale Scholarships
which call for a degree in
textiles. A few of the students
had someone in their family in
engineering. These girls early became
interested in the subject
and still find it the most challenging
field.
Whatever the main reason for
going into engineering, the deciding
factor in every case was
an interest in and a love for
mathematics and science. Ann
Lynne Palmer put it this way, "In
high school I liked math, chemist
ry and physics. Chemical engineering
seemed to be a good combination
of those subjects so that's
what I wanted to take."
The future looks bright to these
students. They feel that the field
is A "vast and wonderful one with
areias that are especially suited to
women engineers." Some plan to
gcijinto research in their chosen
are^i. Pat Groves, in engineering
physics, says, "I hope to do atomic
research with General Electric in
Schenectady, New York." Nora
Francis Smith who has been
working at Redstone Arsenal under,
the co-operative program,
hopes to continue in guided missile
work.
The girls believe that a woman
engineer, like any other career
woman, can successfully combine
a career and marriage if she
wishes. Proudly displaying pins
or engagement rings, several of
the students talked happily of
their own plans about marriage.
Annette Moss who had hoped to
be. the first woman to graduate in
civil engineering at API isn't too
unhappy at the prospect of transferring
to the University of Hawaii
where she plans to complete
hef college work. Annette's fiance,
a civil engineering graduate
of. API, is stationed in Hawaii
anji they plan to be married in
January.
j t isn't uncommon for any one
of;these students to be the only
girjl in a classroom full of boys.
Francile Scott summed up the
situation by saying that "after
the' novelty of having a girl in
class wears off, I am generally
fessor as just another student.
Glenda Bolton says, "I have
found the boys and staff very
helpful. My background in math
was somewhat meager and I'm
not sure I could have made it if
couragement and help they have
received from faculty and students.
Members of the staff at API
are proud of the work these girls
are doing. Dean J. E. Hannum
School of Engineering, says, "The
girls have the same mental ability
to grasp the scientific subject
as boys and the field of engineering
is so immense in its offerings
that there is a place for
man and woman graduating in
engineering. We like to encourage
high school students to consider
engineering as a career and
to prepare for it by taking all
t h e . math; and science- subjects
they can."
Four women engineering, students
are attending college under
the co-operative program.
This program is. an arrangement
in which the student alternates
a quarter of college work and a
quarter of work in his field of
study. Three girls, work for Redstone
Arsenal and one is -with
TV A.
Civil Defense Staff
Holds Meet Here
To Instruct Leaders
A five-day Civil Defense Staff
College met at API June 24-28.
Civil Defense workers from all
parts of the state met to consider
the need for civil defense and the
organization of civil defense in
Alabama.
The conference was held to instruct
defense community leaders
in the organization, mobilization,
evacuation, mass feeding
and shelter, and protection from
bacterialogical and chemical warfare
phases of civil defense.
Representatives from business
and industry, municipal and civic
organization, Redstone Arsenal at
Huntsville, as well as voluntary
workers in civil defense, attended
the conference.
The conference, given as a demonstration
by the state, is the second
of six schools to be held
throughout Alabama upon various
aspects of civil defense. The first
school was conducted by the Federal
Civil Defense Agency.
Paul Brunson was director of
the staff college, and Dr. Floyd
Vallery was coordinator of the
conference.
Joe M. Jones, Public Information:

Religious Life Plays Important Role
In Present Day Educational Plan
BY GEORGE HEARN
Is a college education merely
the formality of attending classes
everyday, supposedly building
within one's self a store of academic
knowledge? Some had rather
believe that included in a college
education is everything one
learns while in college, outside,
as well as inside, the classroom.
While in college or of college age,
a person's character and personality
are greatly influenced by
the activities in which he participates.
Through the centuries, the
church has played an immense
part in developing personality and
character of mankind into the
most desirable and beneficial
forms, both for society and for the
individual. The churches today
still work at this task.
Churches of Auburn and the
townspeople have done much and
are doing much to see that students
of API are provided with a
place where they may worship,
serve, study and play with those
of their own religious belief.
Eight churches in the city of
Auburn sponsor youth organizations
for their college student
members. These organizations enable
students of the same faith
to be drawn closer together
through fellowship.
These youth organizations carry
on lively programs throughout the
year, centered around worship,
study, service and recreation.
The Baptist Student Union
sponsored by the First Baptist
Church meets each Sunday at 9:30
a. m. and 6:30 p. m. Some of the
activities of this group include
a period of fun and fellowship
•each Sunday night after the worship
service trips to area churches
to do mission work on Friday
nights, participation in various
sports. During the week' the recreation
center, located in the
basement of the church, is open
to students.
The Canterbury Foundation,
youth organization sponsored by
the Episcopal church, meets on
Sunday evenings at 5:00 p. m. for
a light supper and period of fellowship.
Each morning, breakfast
is served to students after communion
which is at 7:00 a. m.
Study Habits, Not Hours, Important
Reveals Survey At Illinois Institute
RELIGIOUS LIFE—Faith is an integral part of the life of
college students here at Auburn. The churches are filled each
Sunday as students begin their week of study.
The recreation area provided
for this group is equipped with
record p l a y e r , television, ping
pong, and other recreation facilities.
The Wesley Foundation for
Methodist students meets e a ch
Sunday at 9:40 a. m. and 6:30 p.m.
A light supper also is served to
this group at 5:45 p. m. on Sundays.
The group this summer is
engaged in a study of the various
denominations. They maintain a
library as well as a recreation
center, which is open at all times
during the weeTc for the students'
use.
The D. S. F., Disciple Student
Fellowship, is sponsored by the
First Christian Church. Throughout
the year this group carries
on an interesting program for student
members of the Christian
church. Each Sunday at 6:15 p. m.
the group meets and is served
supper.
At the Presbyterian Church, the
student organization is the Westminster
Fellowship. The group

Fraternities And Drinking 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, July 3, 1957
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
Are fraternities the cause of all the evil
that exists on the American college campuses?
Is the average fraternity man a riotous
drunkard and conceited snob? Do fraternities
corrupt all young freshmen that
they ensnare in their brotherhood?
Believing the criticisms and accusations
that are constantly being leveled at fraternities,
one would have to answer the above
in the affirmative. We know of no other
group that are so constantly derided so
unjustly.
We could consider the motive of the critics
and perhaps come up with such things
as envy, revenge, or just ignorance. But
this is not as important as the question of
how true are their accusations.
The latest attack on the fraternities here
at Auburn has been that fraternity men
are excessive drinkers and are causing
young freshmen to form drinking habits.
These accusers have urged that prohibition
be enforced by the administration on
t h e fraternities. j
Doing a little research into college drinking
habits we found quite a bit of interesting
information that resulted from a study
carried out by Robert Straus and Seldon
D. Bacon for the Yale Laboratory of Applied
Physiology and published in a book
entitled "Drinking in College". This survey
was conducted in 27 American colleges
which were representative of all our colleges
and included 17,000 men and women.
The study was from 1949 through 1951.
The summary of results were accepted by
the National Temperance League, Inc., and
published in their "Alcohol Statistics Letters".
It was found that 74% of all college students
use alcoholic beverages to some extent
while 26%'.reported as always haying
been abstainers.
It was also found that a majority of the
college students who drink started doing
so before entering college, four out of five
men, and two-thirds of the women. This
indicates that high school is where most
drinking originates.
Where did the high school students do
their drinking? The study showed that
most of the students took their first drink
in their own home and this occurred at
the average age of 14.5 years.
In view of these finding, total abstain-cnce
advocates should work on the homes,
for this is where drinking habits are usual-to
foster the Anbum spirit

Seventy-four per cent of college students
use alcohol. Are all of these fraternity
men? Does the majority of drinking take
place in fraternity houses? The study
found that there was no difference in the
incidence of drinking among fraternity
men and non-fraternity men. Only 3% of
all the college drinking takes place in fraternity
houses. Most occurs in restaurants,
taverns, or bars.
Seventy-four per cent of college students
use alcohol. Are all of these fraternity
men? Does the majority of drinking
take place in fraternity houses? The study
found that there was no difference in the
incidence of drinking among fraternity
men and non-fraternity men. Only three
per cent of all drinking takes place in fraternity
houses. Most occurs in restaurants,
taverns, or bars.
But are these findings typical of Auburn?
We discussed the subject with several
professors on this campus and came
to the conclusion that it is not. These men
assert that there is much less drinking at
Auburn than at any other college with
which they have been associated. This
same opinion was expressed by many
transfer students contacted.
Faculty members familiar with the fraternities
on this campus also stated that
they knew of no campus with more sober
fraternities.
The Auburn fraternities are very hospitable
to new freshmen and high school
students visiting the campus during Village
Fair and other occasions. Reportedly
these visiting students sometimes do quite
a bit of drinking while they are here. One
' startled fraternity reported that a group of
high school students who were guests in
the house during Village Fair went out on
their own, drank till intoxicated and came
back and practically wrecked the fraternity
house.
We do not intend to paint Auburn as
heaven and the < fraternity men as the angels;
there is room for improvement here
in many areas. But the latest accusation
against the fraternities is unfounded.
The critics are probably acting in good
faith, since much of their knowledge about
fraternities has been gained from hearsay
and newspaper articles. Usually information
gained through these channels tend to
relate only part of the truth.
We do hope and we feel safe to assume
that when these critics realize that the Auburn
fraternities are brotherhoods dedicated
to the improvement of their members
and that fraternity men are as good as
the usual college students, they will cease
their attack, even though we do not feel
that they would be successful in causing
the college officials to put restrictive measures
on the fraternities. Our administrators
are aware of the true worth of fraternities.
Rather than be constantly criticized, the
fraternities should be commended for all
the good that they accomplish. Our Auburn
fraternities are an integral part of
our school and API would suffer a great
loss if the fraternities were abolished or
in any way restricted unjustly.
If these critics and all others who belittle
Auburn would come and live with us
for just a little while, they would realize
what a great group of people make up API.
This includes fraternities, sororities, independents,
faculty, and all others who make
up our school. There is a great spirit that
binds us, a spirit of cooperation, friendship,
and keen interest in one another. We
are proud of Auburn.
"IHELPEP HIM WITH HIS HOMEWORK-DIDNT KNOW HFWS AOfNW.STuOElrf
THE PASSING STREAM
The Tranquil Life
Since the decay and fall of the
Gothic period in history, a time,
in which there were fewer wars
than any other era, civilization
has become increasingly v hectic.
People are forever running
around inventing things that run
faster, make more noise, cost more
money, and have a higher radioactive
count than the ones that
came out last year. Clocks are invented
that prod, cajole, frighten,
or blast the man in the gray flannel
suit—and that's all of us —
out of his scientific posture bed
and send him yawning into his
aerated, magic-control shower,
from whence he is propelled into
his nine-ounce miracle fibre suit,
hustled down to his automatically
perked coffee, and finally catapulted
into his air-conditioned,
sound-proof office—on time, but
badly intimidated. All the thrill
and joy of making his own decisions
have been strangled out of
his daily routine.
With today's accelerated pace
of life, human nerves take a tremendous
flogging. In order to
keep one's head above water, it's
often necessary to burn the midnight
oil far into the hours when
more primitive—and healthier —
people are sleeping. There is a
handy little tablet on the market
guaranteed to drive away yawns
and restore wide-eyed alertness.
It does an admirable job of it,
too . . . the hapless individual
finds himself hopping about like
a panicky jack-rabbit, eyes staring
fixedly, heart pounding as if
he'd just established a new 4.40
record. When at last the contract
is on the boss's desk, or the in-
. come tax is all accounted for, and
the time is at hand for a few
hours' much-needed sleep, he
finds himself so hopped up that
sleep is impossible. What to do?
Is this, our finished product of
atomic civilization, destined to lie
in ulcerous and indigestive agony
while his radio-coffee pot-luck
ticks away the precious hours?
His coffee has been de-caffein-ized,
his cigarettes de-nicotinized,
and his alter-ego-analyzed. And
still no sleep.
Modern science has the answer.
Galloping to the aid of the modern
man in distress has come the
tranquillizer. Long before it
could be released to nervous public,
the word was out about the
pigs lolling in the research laboratories
of the nation. This marvellous
little bundle of scientific
peace and good'will now enables
us to digest our food at a dead
BY ANN RIVERS
run, face the impending deadline
with courageous fortitude, get a
reasonable perspective on our
in-law problems, and laugh away
our neurosis. We are once again
a hardy, unworried nation, secure
from care and stress as long as
we have our pill boxes clutched
in our palms. Furthermore, k?s a
remendy that meets even the
strict approval of the W. C. T. U.
and the A. A. Who knows? Such
organizations may face total extinction
from lack of clientele.
This newly-regained mental
equilibrium is a wonderful thing.
Americans have always had it. It
paved the way for the people on
the Mayflower. It made things a
lot easier on those long wagon-jaunts
westward. When we were
just a young sprout of a nation,
inner calm and courage made an
almost impossible task, that of
building a country, possible. We
aerated water faucets in those
days, but we had a lot of work to
do. Maybe's that's why there simply
wasn't time to stop and worry—
and not so much excess to
worry about. But somewhere in
the increasing maze of civilization
we lost our tranquility. Now
it's back, and most welcome, too.
It's just too bad it has to come
out of a pill box, isn't it?
Letters To
The Editor
Dear Sir:
We would like to take this opportunity
to congratulate you on
this, the best edition of the summer
PLAINSMAN. This edition of
the Plainsman far surpasses the
usual excellent standard set by
your publication. In passing we
might add that you are doing an
excellent job of filling the shoes
of the esteemed ex-editor Hal
Morgan.
The news coverage of this issue,
is stupendous, the cuts and photography
excellent, the editorials
wonderful and the make-up is
something that could not have
been handled better by the New
York Times. The way your publication
does without the use of
filler is a wonder to behold.
Once again we say, a job -Well
done.
Most sincerely yours,
Bob Black and
Cecil Stokes.
SMOKE SIGNALS
Summer School-Why People Come?
Again the rays of the summer
sun fail to stem the wave of
students surging into the Loveliest
Village for another dozen
weeks of facts, fun, and finals.
Again the newly sunburned
voices wonder who the rest of the
crazy people are who brave the
heat of classrooms and labs this
season. But those new to Auburn's
summer quarter quickly find that
there is no single, quick explanation
for the more than four-thousand
students who make our
school a year-around university.
E v e r y year the six-weeks
courses attract scores of teachers
who are finally rectifying the
complaints of their students who
say .their "teacher don't know
nutin." Doctors degrees make
them feel much better about it.
Out on Vet Hill the men in the
white shirts find that between
their junior and senior years they
have too much education to bother
with work during the summer,
and they don't have enough
to put degrees over their chairs,
so they stay here and get ahead
the quarter they'll lose making
like horse doctors next spring—
interning.
Freshman girls w h o haven't
what it takes to be Alabama residents
also find that it behooves
them to start in the summer if
they ever expect to be students
of Auburn. It's a tough rule but
it sure makes the quarter more
entertaining . . . Welcome dolls!
T h e r e is also the "straight
through to Miama" group that
is college - bent to get through
in the m i n i m u m number
of calendar months. S u n d ay
"Blue Laws" that shut down the
classes were outlawed by the
Casino at midnight Saturday, so
these people get ahead during the
summer. Some have such altruistic
reasons for going straight
such as dodging work, dodging
the draft, and dodging places that
don't have such a good (for them)
ratio.
Here in strength, as usual, are
the boys of the battle of the 110
(dollars), who are determined to
get their share of Uncle Sam's
sheckles before he runs out.
We also have some co-op fellows
here who come to school
during the summer and winter
because they can't keep up with
the pace during fall and spring
quarters.
There are some other categor-
BY CECIL STOKES
ies, some pretty gory, but most
of the rest can be said to be here
just for fun—either fun they plan
to have or fun they did have
when they should have been studying.
Actually there are some pretty
good reasons to be here this summer
that we can use to console
ourselves:
1. Pay is generally much better
during other seasons for short
term work.
2. The campus is less formal in
the summer.
3. There are no fraternity dues
generally.
4. There is less parking problem—
only 105 per cent of the
spaces are taken.
5. Air conditioned restaurants,
dorms, and dining halls are available
to beat the heat.
6. There are fewer extra-curricular
and official functions to
distract us from our work.
7. The lake is just as close as
during spring.
8. We are closer to the gulf than
people to the north.
9. We are closer to the lakes
than people to the south.
10. Etc.

WAR EAGLE
CHATTER
by DON CQUGHLIN
Plainsman Sports Editor
The big season of picking the main stars for the coming
gridiron show is almost upon us . . . The sportswriters are
submitting the names of highly regarded grid giants that will
probably make the headlines of your favorite newspaper
come next fall . . . The well-known magazines are counting
up tabulations of football men in order to have them ready
for the public this September . . . Football fans will see plenty
of talent running across the gridiron this fall and the ones
that stick will probably be a few names that are on the preseason
picks . . . Among the names that will head the list of
pre-All-American will be Auburn's
own Jimmy "Red" Phillips
and speedster Tommy Lorino.
The picture on the right of
this column was taken directly
after Auburn defeated the
University of Kentucky in
Lexingtbn, Ky. . . The pose
was not set up, but the joy of
the occasion brought Auburn's
great stars together at the finale
of the game . . . On the
right is "Red" and: of course,
hugging his neck is the Tiger's
scat-back Tommy Lorino . . .
It's an unusual picture, but it
did take in this year's stars of
the coming season . . .
Big "Red'V playing his last
year as a Tiger end is a 205-
pound, 6-2 native of Alex City,
who was arr Ail-American
choice during his high school days and has followed this title
up with the same thing in college . . . He made a few preseason
picks last year, but got off to slow start . . . But came
through for Coach Jordan's aggregation to top the SEC pass
receiving crown with 23 catches for 383 yards . . . and four
touchdowns . . . The 21-year-old star also led the SEC in yardage
by a pass receiver in his four touchdown passes . . . During
his sophomore year, 1955, playing varsity right end, he
was voted "SEC Sophomore of the Year" . . .
Then in '56, he was 18th in the nation in pass
receiving and was known for his outstanding
defensive play as a flankman . . . Two of his
four touchdowns were short tosses, but he
ran a good 71 yards against Georgia and 67
yards against F. S. U Head Coach "Shug"
Jordan has made the statement, "Anything
good that one can say about an end or a foot-
PhiiMps ball player, I will say about Jimmy Phillips"
. . . And that just about does it for "Big Red", he's got a great
season ahead of him and with the ability he has, he'll have
his name across every newspaper in the nation come this fall.
The Bessemer flash, Tommy Lorino, had a tremendous
season last year as he lead the nation with a 8.44 yards rushing
average as a sophomore . . . He carried 82 times for a total
of 692 yards, which set a new SEC rushing average also . . .

Defensive Line Coach Hal Herring finally registered with

Football Captain Tim Baker is in

his back injury has not improved

tackle, and a likely starter.next

recognition as any Auburn football
player when he was the recipient
of the "Ralston Purina

Leadership and Spiritual Background.
He leaves shortly for two
weeks in St. Louis at Purina Laboratories
in training from scientific

AROUND THE COLLEGE WORLD
Unlimited Cuts Granted At Georgia Tech
BY GENE RAINES
The seniors at the Georgia Institute
of Technology have advanced
a step further up on the
privilege list in that the Tech
faculty senate recently passed
a resolution whereby the last year
men may have unlimited cuts.
The faculty body expressed
their feeling that by the senior
year Tech men a r e m a t u re
enough to accept the responsibility
of determining whether they
should attend class or not.
Official excuses are needed
only for labs and announced examinations.
Sounds like a pretty
good deal—don't you think?
• * *
From Bill Ingle, sports editor
of the Crimson-White, we learn
that Alabama will have a much
improved team over last fall. In
disagreeing with the recent football
forecast by a Birmingham
newspaper which picked Tennessee
first and the Tide last, he
said: "There's a bunch of Crimson
Tiders (with Whit thrown
in for good measure) who'll tell
you there are going to be three
glorious days in Birmingham next
fall." He was referring of course
to the contests with Tennessee,
Tech, and Auburn.
We are glad to hear this, and
that December date in the Steel
City should be a lot more interesting—
for both sides.

The early-morning physical education
lifesaving class was lined
along the side of the pool at the
University of Florida recently.
There was one life in the pool
none of the students were anxious
to save. That's when the instructor
was put to test and had to
exhibit some of the techniques
which he had taught.
After an exciting chase the
victim was finally subdued by
the uninvited life-saver with a
shepherd's crook (a pole with a
hook at the end).
The victim was a three-and-one
-half-foot alligator. A student in
the class said, "He looked like
a fighting Gator and we looked
like frightened Gators."

has the potential of being one of the South's best halfbacks
and showed his talents last year for the Tigers . . . Bobby
carried the ball and his 5-11, 175 pound frame for 70 yards
against Mississippi State, his longest run of last year . . . He
has the potential and should have a great season . . . Keep
your eye on uniform number 20 come next f a l l . . . Ben Preston
is big, fast and the Eufaula tackle has shown that he has
what it takes when he hits Cliff Hare Stadium or other SEC f
fields.
