First Year EE Student
Succumbs After Wreck;
Two Escape Serious In j ury
. Fatally injured in a n ' a u t o m o b i l e accident late last Sat­u
r d a y night near Opelika was Thomas Hugh Friel, Jr., 19, a
first year electrical engineering student from Fort Walton,
Fla. Only one car was involved in the wreck.
The accident occurred at about 9:30 p. m. on a short cut
road known as "Priester Line
Road," which runs between U.
S. Highway 280 and U. S. 29. Oc­cupants
of the car were Friel,
owner of the car, Billy Mundy,
and Joe Nunnery, Auburn High
School seniors.
Skid marks and distance the
car traveled during the accident
indicate the car was traveling at
an excessive rate of speed. The
boys were returning from a high
schoool fraternity initiation when
the accident occurred.
The car came over the top of a
hill on "Priester" traveling tow­ard
highway 29 and approached
a fork in the road at its foot.
When the car reached the fork
it ran into a gravel bed and be­gan
skidding sideways on the
shoulder of the road moving
about 50 feet before overturning.
Thccar then left the ground and
traveled approximately 20 feet
to the top of a concrete culvert
which smashed the top of the
car almost against the steering
wheel. After hitting the culvert
the car bounced about 35 feet
farther and landed upright.
The victims were immediately
rushed to the Lee County Hos­pital
where the two high school
students were treated for minor
cuts arid bruises. Friel was given
emergency treatment but never
regained consciousness.
A diagnosis by the doctor on
duty revealed that Friel had head
injuries that constituted a hem-morage
and a broken neck and
that emergency brain surgery was
needed.
Frederick's Funeral Home dis­patched
an ambulance to take
Friel to Maxwell Field in Mont­gomery
where the operation was
to take place. Friel died just as
the ambulance entered the main
gate at Maxwell Field at 1:20
Sunday morning.
Friel was born in Auburn but
he and his family had moved to
Fort Walton, Fla., where his
father currently works as an
aviatioon mechanic at Eglin Air
Force Base. The only other child
in the family was a girl, 16, Ca-mille.
Friel belonged to the Beta
Club in high schoool and was
considered a very good student.
AFTERNOON RECEPTION PLANNED
Polgar Appears Tonight, Tomorrow
Night In Union Ballroom Program
Polgar, world famous hypnotist,
will be in Auburn ; tonight and
tomorrow night, Feb. 13 and 14.
Polgar's "Fun With the Mind"
show will be presented at 8 p.m.
DR. POLGAR
in the Union Ballroom. Polgar is
being presented through the
Union Program Committee.
Mrs. Betty Hawthorne, Union
Program Director, said that a few
tickets are still available in Room
306, Union Building. Polgar tick­ets
are $1 for faculty mmebers
and 50 cents for students.
Robin Hudgins, chairman of the
Union Culture Committee, has an­nounced
that all students can
meet Dr. Polgar in the Union Fac­ulty
Lounge, Thursday, Feb. 14,
from 3 until 5. Refreshments will
also be served at this time.
Polgar is ' returning \o Auburn
after a successful performance
last year, according to Mrs. Haw­thorne.
Polgar's performances consist
of hypnotic, memory, and mental
telepathy.
Polgar displays his "memory
magic" by reciting the entire con­tents
of a page of a magazine. Be­fore
a performance Polgar distri­butes
pages of a magazine to the
audience. During the show the
audience calls out the page num­ber
of the magazine and Polgar
answers with the entire contents
of that page, including a descrip­tion
of the pictures.
His hypnotic feats astound au­diences
and promote the greatest
interest in audience participation.
Polgar has had campus' queens
emoting like Bette Davis and has
had faculty members behaving
like infants.
Although Polgar is an enter­tainer,
he holds degrees in psy­chology
and economics. He holds
a doctor's degree from the Uni­versity
of Budapest. He also stud­ied
under the late Sigmund Freud.
In his more than 20 years of
performing, Polgar has met many
people who doubt his abilities. He
has never failed to meet the chal­lenge
of doubtful audiences.

Of 'Harvey' Opening Nite
"Harvey," a comedy by Mary
Chase, will be presented- by the
Auburn players for a ten night
run beginning next Tuesday, Feb.
19 at the Player's Theater.
The action of the play develops
into a type of comedy which may
be described as unpretenttious.
Late one night a drinking man,
Elwood P. Dowd, played by Neely
Inlow, happened to be walking
down the street when he noticed
a> nenormous r a b b i t leaning
against a lamp post and fell into
conversation with it.
The rabbit was extremely
agreeable and when ask -its name,
it amiabfy* a'skeci what names El­wood
preferred, which is how it
came to be called Harvey.
When Elwood's sister, Mrs. Veta
Louise Simmons, portrayed by
Charlotte Flynn, discovered her
brother's relationship with the
rabbit, she tried to have him com­mitted
to a sanitarium, especially
since the young, admitting psy­chiatrist
felt the word '^Harvey"
had some disastrous sexual asso­ciation
in the patient's mind.
As the plot unfolds a good many
on stage begin to believe they too
can see Harvey and unbalanced
types in the audience are not safe.
Final Eagles Nest

On Friday, February 15, the

, Flames from an undetermined
source swept through the attic and
ppper story of the Pi Kappa Phi
fraternity house in a late Sunday
night fire. Fire companies from
Auburn and Opelika fought for
;more than two hours before
fringing it under control.
j The blaze, first detected by oc­cupants
of the South College St.
'^fraternity house at 11:20 Sunday
night, completely demolished the
attic and caused water and fire
damage to parts of the second
story of the colonial type building
before firemen brought the blaze
under control early Monday morn­ing.
Cause of the fire was unde­termined
but indications point
to the fact that faulty wiring
leading to an electric fan in the
attic may have caused the
flames.
The fire broke out while the
two occupants of the single attic
room were in the shower, Pi Kap­pa
Phi member Bill Amos -later
explained to t h e Plainsman.
Flames spread quickly through the
pine-paneled walls and Pi Kappa
Phi men who tried to battle the
blaze with a fire exstjnguisher
were unable to enter the smoke-fillecl
room.
Ambs stated that the Auburn
fire department was summoned
immediately but about 15 minutes
lapsed before fire fighting equip­ment
arrived on the scene. Cijy
firemen answered a call to the
Sigma Pi. house on South Gay St.

GROUP PLANS SHOW IN MARCH
Students Organize 'Theatre Dancers'
By Marie Peinhardt
Roving, Raving Reporter
Rumors are flying around the
campus about a new dance club
recently organized, but WHO?,
WHY?, WHERE?, WHEN? After
talking to Charles Jones, head
choreographer, the facts were
brought to light on the Theatre
Dancers Club which was organiz­ed
for the first time las.t summer
quarter and more completely set
up last quarter.
The idea began when several
students with a mutual interest
and talent in dancing presented a
floorshow at the Eagles Nest last
summer. After talking it over and
practicing together, they decided
to set up an organization to furth­er
their interests and to entertain
other people. The next step, which
was to write the constitution, was
taken in hand by Charles Jones,
Loretta Lucas and Jerry Kirkland,
assisted by Betty Hawthorne,
Union program director.
After organization came the
plans for a big Spring Song and
Dance Revue set for March. Re­hearsals
started last quarter for
this show. According to Jones,
everything is underway for a
great show. "With costumes to be
STANDING AT ATTENTION as ROTC men pass in review last Wednesday are Honorary
Commander candidates Peggy Rodgers, Penny Prendergast, Janice Walters, Sandra Slay, Barbara
Drummond, Nan Enlow, Janice Hipsh and Betty Heughey. Miss Drummond was named Honorary
Commander Saturday night at the Military Ball.
Barbara Drummond
Named Honorary
Coed Commander
Barbara Drummond was nam­ed
the 1957 Honorary Military
Commander Saturday night at the
annual Military Ball in the Stu­dent
Activities Building.
Eight coeds representing the
three ROTC military branches vi­ed
for the title. The leadout was
made up of the honorary battal-lion
commanders, the honorary
eommander of 1956, Dyanne Carl­isle,
escorted by Richard Fuller,
and her honor guard of the Au­burn
Rifles, Army drill team.
The other seven beauties and
their escorts were, Betty Heughey,
Robert Lane; P e g g y Rogers,
Gordon Griffith; Sandra Slay,
Buddy Wood; Janice Hipsh, Regi­nald

Miss Drummond was presented
a gold loving cup by James
Moates and bouquet of red roses
by the 1956 honorary commander.
Charlie Blackburn acted as
master of ceremonies for the ball.
The music was furnished by The
Cavaliers.
made and routines to perfect,
everyone is having a' great time
as well as working hard. Al­though
very few of our members
have had previous training in
dancing, we are setting up all our
own dance routines with the help
of a few "old hands."
This new organization, made up
of approximately 18 members, is
headed by Charles Jones, head
choreographer; Jerry Kirkland,
assistant choreographer; Loretta
Lucas, secretary-treasurer; and
Betty Lou Shelton, publicity
chairman.
For all the undeveloped talent,
roaming the campus, here is a
terrific opportunity for it to be
developed! If you play a guitar or
harmonica, stack B's on your nose
while standing on your head, or
specialize in horseback riding,
these people aren't interested in
you. But if you can dance, or even
if you can't and would like to, go
see Charlie Jones right this min­ute
— well, what are you waiting
for?
Taking as their objective
"Progress Through United Ef­fort"
the t h i r t y - t h r e e Greek

EE Depf. Receives
Desk-Fax Machine
As Gift From WU
Auburn's department of elec­trical
engineering has been pre­sented
a Desk-Fax by the Wes­tern
Union Telegraph Co. The
Desk-Fax is a desk corner fac­simile
telegraph machine.
The Desk-Fax transmits writ­ten,
typed or printed matter by
placing a message on the fac­simile
machine and pushing a
' button. An electric eye in the
machine flashes an exact picture
of the message to the central
telegraph office. This enables
business men to send messages
directly to the central ooffice for
transmission, thus eliminating
the necessity for delivery boys.
Some 100 machines are now in
use in . Montgomery, and about
400 Desk-Fax's are being used
THE NEW DESK-^AX, recently presented to Auburn's electrical engineering department, gets
a close inspection by N. C. Keeley. Western Union district manager, Prof. H. M. Summer, and Prof.
R". D. Spann, department head. . . • • ':
in Birmingham, according to
Proof. H. M. Summer of the elec­trical,
engineering department. '
In accepting the machine Prof.
R: 'D. Spann, head of the electri­cal
engineering department said,
"We are delighted that Western

Mafiager Joseph S. Manning discusses a customer service
request with Office Supervisor Catherine Hazlelon.
"Like having your own '3,000,000 business"
Joseph S. Marining graduated in 1950
from Wesleyari*Uriiversity with £$&:$&
gree and a major in Bio-Chemistry. But
chemistry, he decided, was not to be his
career. He became intrigued, instead, by
tKej opportunities in the telephone busi-*
n | i s , and joined New York Telephone
Company in 1951.
Today Joe Manning is Business Office
Manager in Parkchester, Bronx, New
York. In this position lie is.responsible
for about 27,000 telephone accounts
which bill some $250,000 a month. 35
people work under him.
"It's like having your own $3,000,000
business," Joe says. "And it's pretty much
an independent operation, which I enjoy.
I'M in charge of* all-business office -func­tions,
and of personnel training and de­velopment.
I also spend a lot of time out
with my customers, making sure that they
have the telephone service they want and
need. It's an absorbing job.
"The phenomenal growth of the busi­ness
is one of the reasons why advance­ment
opportunities are so good in the
telephone company." Since 1943, for ex­ample,
the number of telephones in our
area has almost* tripled. Growth such as
this, going on all over the country, makes
the telephone business especially attrac­tive
to anyone seeking a career with a
future."

"The only distinguishing fea­ture
about him was his skirt.
A beauty! The collar was ab­solutely

Meanwhile; the scoundrel,
knowing that his wrinkle-free
and enviably-neat collar was a
dead giveaway, tried desper­ately
to slip some wrinkles into
it. He stamped on it with hob-t
nail boots. He slugged awayV-at

Thieving Not Welcomed
A series of thefts on the campus recently
has stirred up a great deal of controversy
as to the origin of the thoughts govern­ing
these thefts. Girls' dormitory rooms,
the Union and even churches have been
the objects of marauders looking for goods
of value.
Church thefts have been traced to juve­nile
sources but it seems that several ar­ticles
missing from the Union have been
taken by supposedly mature college stu­dents.
No answer has been found for
things found missing in the girls' dorms,
however it can be supposed that students
or college personnel are responsible here.
Most recently reported as missing at
the Union is a speaker taken from the in­side
of the cabinet housing the high-fi­delity
music system in the Union's record
room. The system was donated to the
Union last fall by Alpha Phi Omega, ser­vice
fraternity. Without the speaker the
system is useless.
Also included among missing articles
are about eight terrace chairs, a powder
sander from the hobby shop and numer­ous
magazines stolen from the racks of
current periodicals. .
Mush of the equipment in the Union as
well as the building itself has been or is
in the process of being paid for by students
through student activity fees. It is not
ironic that those responsible for the ar­ticles
missing are stealing for themselves,
not to mention their eight thousand fel­low
students?
Some individual decided to divest the
Union music system of its speaker in or­der
to supplement his own personal sys­tem
in all probabality. By so doing he has
• enriched the listening pleasure of perhaps
himself, his roommate and a few others.
At the same time he has denied the same
pleasures to many others who have been
using the Union system for recreation and
studies such as music appreciation. Rather
a one-sided trade.
Terrace chairs are used for snack bar
service on the terrace outside the building.
They are constructed of hollow metal tub­ing
with seats and backs made of inter­laced
cord. These seem to have attracted
the eyes of some furnishing - conscious
dwellers around the campus. At any rate
several have disappeared. One was recov­ered
last spring when it was discovered
in a room in one of the local men's dormi­tories.
There are still many undiscovered.
It seems also that at the beginning of
each month when new magazines arrive
at the Union and are set out in racks in
the lounges for students' reading it takes
less than half a day for most of them to
disappear. Are students here so poor that
they have to finger magazines from every­body
just so they can have a few extras
in their own rooms?
Facilities on the campus can never be
as good as they should be as long as a few
"privileged" individuals think they have
the right to claim them as their own.
Money is scarce enough around here as it
is without thiefs causing the results of well
though out spending to be'wasted.
Mascot Investigated
For years people around here have
discussed the possibility of getting a mas­cot
for Auburn. Traditionally we have
b e e n represented by two animals—the
eagle and the tiger. The eagle presents a
picture of the ultimate in pride and
strength while the tiger leaves the distinct
impression of ferocity.
Prof. Arthur G. Crafts of the Physics
Department has done some investigating
recently into 1<he practicability of getting
a mascot to represent Auburn in athletic
events, parades and other events in which
the school participates.
E.esults indicate that a tiger, although a
beautiful animal, would be impractical,
Feeding, caging and other costs conhlSITiefl
with the adult animal would be "prohibi­tive.
On the other hand an eagle is a great
deal smaller and would require consider­ably
less in food. The initial cost of an
eagle would be smaller by far than that
of a tiger.
Several questions are immediately rais­ed.
Where would we get an eagle and
how would we keep it after obtaining one?
Assoc. Prof. Harold W. Steinhoff of the
Forestry and Land Management School
at. Colorado A. & M. has indicated that
one of his students might be able to take
a young golden eagle from his nest, raise it
until it could be shipped and send it here.
This is only a possibility, however.
Should we get an eagle it would still
be necessary to care for it. A cage of suf­ficient
size would be needed so that the
bird could stretch its wings. Someone
would have to feed and care for the bird
to keep it in good health. There is nothing
that looks quite so bedraggled as a sick
bird.
In the ultimate analysis, in order that a
mascot can be obtained, it will be neces­sary
for the student body to get behind
the project. Any ideas pertaining to get­ting
the mascot and caring for him will be
welcomed by The Plainsman.

by city busses will take Negro and white
children as far as several miles from their
own homes to schools other than those in
their own neighborhoods so that the Negro
and white distribution in New York
schools may be evened up.
The idea is not, as it has been in the
past, to let children go to school in the
nearest school to their homes but rather
to force them to travel large distances so
that pressure groups may be satisfied in
their desire to force integration in all
schools.
Leading the pressure groups is the NA-ACP
along with the Urban League, Ameri­cans
for Democratic Action, American
Automobile Workers and other civil rights
and religious groups.
Peter Bart, in a column in the Wall
Street Journal, stated that "city officials
have begun a program of racial integration
that involves more than a policy of non­discrimination."
This is the understate­ment
of the year. The city board of eduba- ,
tion is working on actions recommended
by its Commission on Integration. The
Commission has drawn up a master plan
proposing to use city-financed busses to
create racially balanced'schools. The Com­mission
suggests that racial integration
should be the sole object of school zoning.
The board of education in the meantime
has asked for $68 million boost in its new
budget, bringing the total to $412 million.
Some of this additional money would be
used to expand -the work of the Commis-sion
on Integration.
The entire project is bringing mixed re­action
from various quarters. Several par­ents
have threatened to remove their chil­dren
from schools if they were placed in
schools formerly occupied solely by the
other race.
It seems that northerners will be learn­ing
the hard way what problem has been
facing the South in recent months. Inte­gration
will work where only a few stu­dents
of the opposite race are involved.

I found the article provocative

Dear Editor: \
Whenever a student on the
campus gets pinned or engaged,
his friends acknowledge such by
throwing him in one of Auburn's
fish pools. This is great fun but
is now so commonplace that it ap­proaches
drudgery rather than en­joyment.
To add] more kick to the event
and to make, a young man think
twice before his big decision, I
would like to suggest that every
pool on the campus be well stock -
with barracuda.

Numerous stories and editorials
have been written concerning
girls leaving their bedroom shades
up, but few, if any stories have
been wi-itten involving the im­modesty
of the male students.
Recently in one of the girl's
dormitories, the residents, if
they had chosen, could have view­ed
an immoral performance pre­sented
by some Auburn men.
These men did not accidently
leave their shades up, but very
evidently did so on purpose. They
yelled at the girls in the nearby
dormitory calling their attention
to the fact. The men thereafter
proceeded to give a "very sicken­ing"
show, as one of the girls de­scribed
it.
I am aware, of course, that
women students have been known
to do such as this, too. That is just
the point; everyone writes and
talks about the girls, but no one
ever mentions the boys. This is
probably because the boys always
do the talking and write the
stories.
What is the matter with these'
students? Don't they have any
modesty? Of course, the greater
majority do, but what about these
few? Don't these students love
their Alma Mater enough to want
to build up its reputation and not
tear it down?
No wonder girls are not the
"sweet innocent little things" they
use to be considered seventy-five
years ago. With men like these on
campus, men with no respect for
women, how could they remain
innocent? The lathe hasn't turn­ed
over lately; has it?
In the days of the "old fa­shioned
girl" men had respect for
women; they were careful of their
language around them and they
thought twice before taking ad­vantage
of them when they had
the opportunity.
Boys, let's preserve the inno­cence
of the Auburn co-ed; throw
away your telescopes, quit the
panty raid attempts and buy
shades.

Attention Called To
Lacking Facilities
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter in be­half
of the Auburn students. This
is my third year at Auburn and I
think its time for -someone to
bring out what inadequate sport
facilities we have here at Auburn.
Being originally from Virginia,
I have visited many different col­leges
and universities in the
Southeast. When I first came to
Auburn I was surprised to see
the sports area and the other faci­lities,
such as the tennis courts
and swimming pool were so small.
The pool here is one of the small­est
I have ever seen in a college
the size of Auburn.
The boys, dressing room in th«
sports area, where many physical
education classes are held is nau­seating
to just about everyone.
Many times, I have wished that
it would be possible to check out
equipment some weekend and be
able to use the sports arena or
student activity building.
Many colleges have such pro­grams
where students can check­out
equipment on weekends, but
here, everything is always locked
up.
The University of Virginia, Duke
University, University of North
Carolina, and the University of
Florida are examples of such pro­grams.

There are times when the North
is a little too self-righteous in its
condemnation of segregation in
the South. This view was express­ed
in the Record, St. John's Uni­versity,
Collegeville, Minn.
The editorial c l a i m s , "The
North has long considered itself
the defender of {he ideals of de­mocracy,
and the rights of indi­viduals
in regard to the racial seg­regation
problem. The recent
verdict of the Supreme Court con­cerning
integration in education
has given the Yankee's superiority
mentality an added shot in the
arm.
"However strongly one may feel
that segregation and discrimina­tion
is morally and socially
wrong, it must be realized that
a Supreme Court decision alone
cannot change a mentality de­veloped
through generations.
"The solution of the problem
lies not in dictating our way of
life to them. Thumping our Yan­kee
chests proudly and pointing to
the South as un-Christian and
undemocratic will only deepen
the gap or resentment between
north and south. The feeling of
Yankee supremacy is as much
detested by the South as the at­titude
of white supremacy is de­plored
by the North.
"The solution lies in attempting
to understand the southern men­tality
and way of life. It requires
a serious and sympathetic study
of the problems they face.
"Until we are ready to under­stand
their difficulties, the North
will remain the blundering and
ineffectual ambassador of ill will
to the South that it has been in
the past."

Shyly, the bride spoke. "Darling,
I have a confession to make. I
should have told you before. I
suffer from asthma."
"Thank Heavens," cried the
groom, "and all the time I thought
you were hissing me."
And for a little humor from the
Emory Wheel:
Dinner Guest: "Will you pass
the nuts, Professor?"
Professor, absent - mindedly:
"Yes, I suppose so, but I really
should flunk them."
"Have you heard about the new
college game?"
"No, what is it?"
"Button, button, here comes the
housemother."

A drunk lying on the floor of
a bar began to show signs of life,
so one of the customers smeared
a little limburger cheese on his
upper lip. The drunk slowly arose
and walked out the door. In a few
moments he came back in. Then
he went back out again only to
return in a few minutes. Shaking
his head with disgust he said, "It's
no use. The whole world stinks."
FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR'S DESK
School Crisis Predicted
BY BOB TARTE
Time Magazine cites a coming
crisis in higher education. "Never
before," Time says, "have so many
Americans wanted to get into col­lege—
and never before has the
competition been so keen . . . The
number of high school students
who go on to college has jumped
15 percent in 1940 to 40 per cent
(today)."
The percentage rise is especial­ly
phenomeial when you con­sider
that to-d
a y s' college
enrollment i s
made up of
children of a
depression era
who are reach-i
n g maturity;
the real crisis
that Time
speaks of will
not come for
another 10 years when the bump­er
chop of World War II babies
begin enrolling in college.
At the present, enrollment in
colleges and universities stands
at a record high with estimations
reaching 3% million. A survey
made by Time (Feb. 4 issue) in­dicates
that enrollments may soar
to between 5 and 8 million by
the time today's first graders
reach college age.
The coming enrollment crisis is
just beginning to make itself felt,
mostly in the larger eastern
schools, where applications far
outnumber openings even today.
Here at Auburn we too are be­ginning
to feel the pressure of a
rapidly expanding enrollment.
To deny that a crisis could ever
exist at API would be wishful
thinking; we can find signs of
growing pains now. Applications
for fall quarter admission from
out of state were turned down
after the first of July last year;
applications from women were re­jected
before that due to the lack
of housing available. Perhaps a
few more students could be
crowded into the classrooms on
campus—a few more chairs could
be brought in and more seated;
but even at that, the point would
eventually be reached so that floor
space simply would hold no more.
When the saturation X)PfP,% is
reached, Auburn will-have to be­come
even more selective of pros­pective
students than it is now.
The policy of admitting anyone
who has graduated from an ac­credited
high school in the state
would have to be set aside. Only
those brighter students produced
by the high schools would be ad­mitted;
many would lose the op­portunity
to attend college.
Signs point to a real crisis in
college enrollment in a few
years. Will API ever have the
facilities to accomodate twice its
present enrollment? Probably not.
Certainly we are not preparing to:
build classrooms to handle an en­rollment
of 16,000 students with­in
the next 10 to "20 years; and
yet applications co«ld well reach
that figure if the aresent accele­rated
enrollments en higher edu­cation
continue as predicted.
Such phenomena^'' growth is
hard for the citizens "of our coun­try
to envision, much less are they
able to anticipate it and aid high­er
education to keep pace with
enlarging enrollment. •
OUTDOOR LORE
Fishing Natural And Artificial Waters
Auburn sportsmen who fish
both natural and artificial lakes
and ponds will bear me out when
I make the statement that fish
caught in natural waters fight
harder than fish caught in arti­ficial
waters. Naturally this state­ment
does not apply to every fish
taken from every body of water
in the state. The statement is a
general one and, of course, to
every general statement there are
exceptions.
The majority of the artificial
waters here in Alabama are made
up of the thousand of farm ponds
throughout the state. Of course,
Lakes Martin, Jordan, Mitchell,
Lay and other such bodies of wat­er
are the results of dams along
the various rivers of Alabama.
We will consider such bodies of
water as natural water for the
sake of clarity in this article,
however.
Farm ponds have brought an
opportunity for fishing to thous­ands
of people who perhaps would
not have had a chance to fish in
natural waters. Correctly built,
stocked, and managed ponds af­ford
excellent fishing. The growth
rate in a well developed pond
seems incredible to the aevrage
person. Bass attaining weights up
to thirteen pounds are reported
having been caught in artificial
waters. A four pound twelve
ounce bhlegill (the world's rec­ord)
was caught in an artificial
lake in Birmingham.
Needless to say, fish in farm
ponds are easier to locate and in
most instances are easier to catch
due to the relative small size of
most ponds. Fish in farm ponds
have a relatively easy life. Since
most ponds are stocked with
largemouth bass, bluegills, and
shellcrackers, there are no rough
fish in them. Bass have an abund­ance
of food since bluegill and
shellcracker fry abound after
each spawning season. Frogs,
mice, crawfish, various kinds of
minnows, grasshoppers, crickets,
worms—here are a few tasty tid­bits
as far as bass and bream are
can use the basketball courts,
weight lifting equipment, gym­nastic
equipment, swimming pool
and many other facilities which
Auburn doesn't even have at this
(Continued on Page 5)
concerned, that are common to
the shoreline and surrounding
areas practically every pond in
the state. With all of the afore-metioned
food on hand, pond fish
have little foraging to do for food,
and therefore they become lazier
and perhaps fatter.
Also, when the hot summer
months arrive, bass fishing in
ponds is almost at a standstill,
and so is bream fishing. Many
ponds have lost a great number of
fish during hot summer months
due to an insufficient oxygen sup­ply
in the ground.
A different picture can be
drawn in regard to the fish of
natural waters. Rough fish such
as carp and gars eat tons of game
fish each year and destroy beds
and spawning areas of countless
other fish. Food, while usually
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
sufficient, is hard to get at. Fish
have to develop a wily sense of
self-preservation along with a set
of hai'd muscles in order to sur­vive
in most natural waters.
Therefore, it is easy to see why
people who fish natural waters
prefer them to artificial waters.
Learning to fish natural waters
is hard, that is true. There are
many things to take into consid­eration
such as time of year, wat­er
conditions, water temperatures,
and other such matters. However,
once a person has learned how to
fish natural waters, he will have
more fun doing it. One can never
be too sure what the creature is
on the "pullin' end" of the line.
It may be a two pound bass or a
thirty pound carp. Try the natur­al
waters. I think you will like
the fishing.
Save A Life — Give Blood
February 21, 1957—a chance to
save a life! Unusual, you think,
to plan more than a week in
advance to save a life. It is un­usual,
in a sense of the word,
but then not so unusual, for giv­ing
blood has become an impor­tant
part of our American com­munity,
and very well indeed
that it has because nothing is any
more important to the proper
functioning of a human being
than blood. In the past, we here
at the Plains have been given
the opportunity to give of our­selves
to others. Again this year,
the opportunity will be offered
to each and every Auburn stu­dent.
The American Red Cross
will be here to accept donations
from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., Thursday,
February 21.
In order to answer a few ques­tions
and arguments that have
arisen in the past, I want to
bring out these few points:
1. Anyone physically qualified
and between the ages of 18-59
may give blood.
2. There is no danger in giv­ing
blood. Qualified doctors ex­amine
every prospective donor
and screen out those whose
health may be endangered in any
way.
is less
blood
3. To the girls, there
pain incurred in giving
than in pricking yourself with
a pin. There are no diet restric­tions,
and there is no noticable
physical affect in giving blood.
4. Any person who attempts to
give blood, and is turned down,
will be given the same benefits
of free blood to both himself and
his immediate family, as those
who were able to give their
blood. i
5. The blood you give is never
sold. It is used either for direct
transfusion, or for research in
better methods of storing and
using the blood.
G. The blood you give remains,
for the most part, in Lee County
and is used by people in and
around Auburn.
This is not a drive, nor a re­quest,
but an opportunity. An
opportunity for you to stand a
24-hour guard against accidents.
An opportunity for you to par­ticipate
in the combative research
against the many fatal diseases
lacing mankind today. But more,
it is an opportunity for. you to
give of yourself to someone in
need. Remember February 21.
You have it in you, can you give
it?

Plainsmen Meet LSU, Tulane In Final
Sports Activity Swings Into High Gear;
Baker To Captain 1957 Footballers
Sports activity on the Plains has reached a roaring peak
this week with spring grid drills bringing football into the
limelight with basketball, track, wrestling, and baseball.
Coach Dick McGowen's diamond crew began workouts
last week. The cinder squad is making its mid-winter ap­pearance
at the Coliseum Relays in Montgomery Saturday,
while the grappling crowd is preping for the SEIWA Tour­nament
to be held in the Sports Arena next week. Coach
Eaves' flaming cagers make their final home appearance of
'57, e n t e r t a i n i n g LSU and T u l a n e h e r e this weekend.
A squad of 65, including 23 l e t t e r m e n greeted Coach
Shug J o r d a n for the opening day of spring grid practice
yesterday.
The Plainsmen will have 25 days to get in t h e i r allowed
20 days of on-the-field practice. The annual A-Day clash be­tween
Orange and Blue teams will be held March 9.
• v Coach Jordan's opening day quote was, "We'll field
another good football team in 1957," a statement which
he has made each spring during the past four years . . .
and a statement which has made him a very popular
figure with all Auburn fans.
The '57 edition of the Plainsmen eleven will be led by
| guard Tim Baker, a fiery 190-
pound senior from Decatur,
Ala. Baker was selected as
t h e n ew captain by the letter
winners of '56, and the an­nouncement
was made at
Tiger Awards Night last week.
End J i m m y Phillips will
serve as Alternate Captain.
Baker, a pint-sized 165-
pounder when he arrived
on the Plains for his fresh­man
year, has performed
just back of Chuck Maxime
and Ernie Danjean t h e past
almost as m u c h playing
two years but has logged
time as the starters. He
holds down the rugged middle guard post in Auburn's
tough five-man line defensive set-up and is one of the
, most aggressive linemen ever seen in these parts.
Ten '56 lettermen, including seven starters , were lost to
graduation and will be difficult to replace, but with a large
group of promising freshmen coming up to join several
outstanding red-shirts and t h e 23 r e t u r n i n g monogram ..wear-"
ers, the '57 p i c t u r e is bright indeed. ;, •
The four r e t u r n i n g regulars are end Jimmy Phillips,
tackle Ben Preston, and halfbacks Tommy Lorino and
Bobby Htfppe. Phillips, Hoppe, Preston, Baker, t a c k l e'
James Warren, and Iefthalf Pat Meagher have been ex­cused
from spring drills by Coach Jordan.
'' T h e first position changes of t h e year found centers Zeke
Smith and Elzie Tillery, both highly r a t e d sophomores, be­i
n g shifted, to guard positions and 190-pound soph Jimmy
Reynolds mdyed from halfback to fullback. The down-the-middle
positions—guard, center, fullback, and quarterback—
a r e feared by J o r d a n to be the most troublesome to fill.
Questionable Sportsmanship . . .
Throughput the Southeastern Conference cage circuit,
"sportsmanship"—and every man has his own definition of
t h e word—is getting a thorough going over. Players, coaches,
fans, and the newspapers are taking t u r n s blasting away at
each other.-, - . . m a y b e it's just a red-hot campaign rapidly
moving into the homestretch . . . or perhaps the officiating
is actually that poor . . . whatever be t h e cause, temperament
and conduct of all concerned . . . both sides . . . a r e at times
reaching a. tense state.
But contrary to charges by some, we believe, and we're
sure a l l . A u b u r n does, t h a t c u r sportsmanship, and spirit,
, is of the highest caliber; as can be found on a collegiate
campus . . : , in the season's home finales this weekend,
l e t ' s not give our behavior even a chance to be questioned.
• In regard to last week's episode at Georgia Tech, we
feel that—for Auburn's part, anyway—the proverbial "moun­t
a i n made out of a molehill" could easily be the case. The
scrap at t h e end of the contest just wasn't as big as. some
seemed to think.

Face Bengals Saturday Night In Arena;
Greenies Sport 6-2 Conference Record
By Bryant Castellow
Plainsman Sports Writer
A u b u r n ' s exciting Plainsmen r e t u r n to t h e Sports Arena
t h i s weekend for the only meeting of the season with their
two SEC foes from the state of Louisiana—LSU and Tulane.
The contests will be the final home appearances of t h e year
for the local club.
Saturday night Coach Joel
Eaves will send his speedy cag­ers
against the top five of Coach
Harry Rabenhorst of the LSU
Tigers. The starters for the Ben­gals
as it now stands will probab­ly
be Roger Sigler and Troy
Rushing at forwards, 6'6" Joe
White of Brewton, Ala., at the
center post and Jim Crisco and
Dom Merle at the guards.
Sigler is the top man for the
LSU combine. He has held LSU's
high scoring honors for the last
two -years and last season aver­aged
25.1 points per game. A left-handed
hook and jump shot ar­tist,
he also leads his team in re­bounds.
•
Merle, a . 6-foot junior, and
Rushing, a 6 foot, three inch
senior, are also top performers.
Sigler, so far this season is off
his pace of past years, but is still
racking up points at a p a c e of
18 per game.
So far this season LSU h as
posted ah SEC record of only one
victory against seven setbacks.
However, Coach Rabenhorst, in
'his twenty-fifth season at the
Bengal helm, has a team that has
played some fine ball, having
lost several close contests.
Monday night the Green Wave
of Coach Cliff Wells moves into
the Tigers' Lair. The Greenies
have captured six SEC victories
thus far in '57 and are in the
thick of the scrap for a top po­sition
in the conference. They
lold one of the two SEC decisions
dropped by powerful Kentucky
this year.
Leading the Tulane attack is
3'4" senior forwards Cal Gross-cUp
and Stan Stumpf. Both are
among the top' 10 scorers in the
league and are seasoned vete­rans.
The other starters will like­ly
be 6'3" Tom Murphy at the
pivot slot, and guards Hal Jarg-storf
and Gary Stoll. The Wave
is short on height but employ a
very aggressive attack and often
a tricky zone defense.
In the starting lineup for the
Big Blue will l i k e l y be Rex
Frederick, Henry Hart, Henry
Sturkie, and Jimmy Lee. The
fifth position on the team is hotlj
:ontested and the choice lies be­tween
Thamas Coleman, Ty Sam­ples,
and Bill McGriff.
According to Coach Eaves;
Samples is the most improved
player on the squad and last week
stood in the number six position
on the team. He averaged about
18 points a game on last year's
freshman squad and may move
into a starting position.
Lee has captured the .Tigers'
scoring leadership following his
JO point production against Flori-
3a. The speedy soph is now aver­t
i n g 16.3 markers per game for
i total of 261 points for 16 games..
Frederick is second at 15.5 with
i total of 247. He is leading the
Plainsmen in the rebound de­partment
with 248, which is good
jnough for second place in con­ference
competition.

The Auburn's varsity squad
won another of their matches by
trouncing the former unbeaten
University of Chattanooga, 21-3
at the Moccasin gym last Satur­day
night.
The Tigers looked very impres­sive
in winning all but one match
and that one was to no amateur.
John Dyer, 177 pound S. E. I. W.
A. champion won the only match
for the Moccasins by taking a de­cision
from Marx Brahum and
gaining the lone three points for
his team.
Walter Keller won the 123-lb
class by a . decision over Fred
Lily for the Tigers first three
points of the match. Then Gerald
Cresap won a decision over Tony
Scrugg in the 130-lb. class to up
the score to 6-0:
In the 137-lb. class, Bob Mason
took a decision from Walter Stack
and Vic Maldonado won easily
over Robert Johnson in the 147-
lb. class and before the smoke
could clear away, Auburn led by
a commanding score oof 12-0.

Lee "Keeps Tigers' Motor Running;"
Grabs Team Leadership In Scoring
! "He's the boy who keeps the Tigers' motor running."
These are the words of Mickey Logue, Atlanta Consti­t
u t i o n sports writer in reference to Auburn's potentially
great sophomore guard, Jimmy "Razor" Lee. The 6-1, 170-
pounder has been just what the doctor ordered for Coach
Joel Eaves as Lee has filled in
one of the first string guard po­sitions
and proceeded to be the
spark plug and one of the top
players for the Plainsmen quintet
this year.
Last week he led the Villagers
to a 73-70 win over the Florida

Sophomore Jimmy Lee, hitting
from everywhere, scored 30 points
to lead Auburn to a 73-70 win
over Florida last Saturday night
at Gainesville. It was the 11th win
for the Plainsmen in 16 outings.
The War Eagles, never trailing,
led by seven points at half-time.
Rex Frederick, playing his usu­al
outstanding game was second in
scoring with 12 points and first
in rebounding with nine. Henry
Hart's nine points made him third
highest scorer for the night.
The Gator's Joe Hobbs tied
Lee's high for the season with an
equal-30 points.
Auburn's 48 per cent shooting
accuracy was the big difference
in the win compared with Flori­da's
34 per cent accuracy.
Auburn lost to Tech Monday,'

Intramural Playoffs Start Tomorrow;
Five Teams Still Boast Clean Slate
By Pat Gentry
Plainsman Intramural Sports
As the intramural basketball season drew to a close last
Thursday night five teams in the dorm independent and fra­ternity
leagues had the distinction of presenting unmarked
loss columns. Maintaining this lofty status were SPE, SAE.
Div. R, Auburn Hall and the Hunters.
Results of the tabulation of
wins and losses for the fraternity
league before the final playoff
showed SPE on top in League 1
with an 8-0 record. League 2
shows a tie between PKA and
KS. Each team has a (7-1) rec­ord.
SAE blazed through the
season to receive first place
honors in .League 3 by winning
10 games and having a clean loss
column. Tabulation of the games
played in League 4 shows an­other
tie. TC and AP both have
8-2 marks.
Tuesday night the ties were
played off. Regular playoffs will
start tomorrow night. At press
time results were not available.
In the East Magnolia Hall'Di­vision
there is a tie between W
and X2. Each has a record of 5-1.
In the church league BSU re­ceives
top billing with a 9-1
slate.
A tie resulted between Auburn
Hall and the Hunters in the in­dependent
league. Each team had
a 5-0 record.
Division R reigns supreme in
League 1 of the dorm groups. On
top of the heap in League 2 we
find Division E.
Ineligible Player . . .
Unknowingly ATO used an in-
'eligible player in four Of their
games. This was protested by
the remaining teams in League
3 of the fraternity teams, of
which ATO is a member. It was
ruled that ATO would forfeit
four of its wins, because Rule 9b
in the Auburn Handbook of In­tramural
Sports for Men, states,
'Under no conditions may a man
represent two teams. If he gets
permission to play with an in­dependent
team he must finish
the season with that team. After
the season officially begins no
player may shift from one team
to another. If a player appears in
a game with a team he must com­plete
that season with that team."
CORRECTION: It was stated
in this column last week that
,the_ intramural track meet would
be held February 3 and 4. This
should have read April 3 and 4.
Preliminary trial's and some'fi­nals
will begin at 3:14 April 3
and all finals will be concluded
on April 4. Team m a n a g e rs
should have their entries into
the intramural office at least one
week in advance.

Division and the Georgia Division
will be on campus
FEBRUARY 15
You ate invited to consult your
placement officer for an appointment.
Separate interviews will be
given for each division.
\ Both divisions of Lockheed are engaged in a long-range expansion program in their fields of endeavor.
California Division activities in Burbank
cover virtually every phase of aircraft, both
commercial and military. More than 40 ,
major projects are in motion, including 17
models of aircraft in production—extremely
high-speed fighters, jet trainers, commercial
and military transports, radar search planes,
patrol bombers. The development program
is the largest and most diversified in the
division's history, ranges across virtually the
entire spectrum of aeronautical activity.
At Lockheed in Marietta, Georgia, new
C-130A turbo-prop transports and B-47 jet
bombers are being manufactured in the
country's largest aircraft plant under one
roof. The division is already one of the
South's largest industries. Moreover, a new
engineering center is now in development as
part of the division's expansion program.
In addition, advanced research and develop­ment
are underway on nuclear energy and
its relationship to aircraft. A number of
other highly significant classified projects
augment the extensive production program.
1
m This broad expansion program is creating new positions in each division.
Graduates in fields of: Aeronautical Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Physics
are invited to investigate their role in Lockheed's expansion.

one marker shy of the Auburn
single game record against SEC
competition. At one point in the
game he dropped in 14 straight
points for the Tigers. But this
was not the first game "Razor"
has shown his ability as he pump­ed
in 27 points in Auburn's open­ing
SEC victory over Mississippi
State and 20 tallies in the Plains­men's
upset of Rice early in the
season.
He is currently leading the team
in scoring as he has dropped in
103 field goals and 59 free throws
for a total of 261 points ami a 16.3
average per game.
But basketball is not the only
thing which suits Lee's ability.
He's also a proficient baseballer.
When he attended Baker High
School he was All Bi-City 3 years,
AU Regional 3 years, and All State
2 years.
He also merited | these same
awards in basketball for his high
school alma mater. In addition to
his prep awards he set the school
record for free throw average per
season.
With two years of eligibility left
Coach Eaves' mind should be at
rest about filling one of the guard
posts because "Razor" is sharp
enough now to merit All-SEC and
it seems that the more he plays,
the more valuable he becomes to
the team.

The action of the Tech student body, however, is reach­ing
the unforgiveable stage. The TECHNIQUE, student
newspaper, belittled it for conduct during football games
throughoout the '56, season, and now school officials must
be catching on—four students were deprived of their ID
cards and dismissed from the arena during the heated
action last week. One Atlanta writer described the, Tech
student body as "not college gentlemen" but more like
"boiled dockhands."
And one final word—in defense of Thamas Coleman—he
was not an aggressor in the scrap but was instrumental in
halting the fracas.
Frederick Nears Rebound Mark . . .
TIME OUT. Roy Swift, heralded frosh halfback from
Fairfield, has dropped out of school because of scholastic
difficulties, Rex Frederick appears to be a cinch to break Bob
Miller's Auburn rebound mark for one season. Miller grabbed
277 off the boards in 1954 and Frederick already has 246 with
five contests left, End Jerry Sansom was the first Tiger se­lected
in the recent Pro draft. He was chosen in the thirteenth
round by the Cleveland Browns. Ernie Danjean was also
drafted—by Green Bay in the nineteenth round. Chuck Maxi­ma
had been picked by the Chicago Bears earlier in '56 since
