unusual in that it is snorter than
most symphonies and it was the
first ever to be composed speci­fically
for band. It was written in
1793 and rediscovered in the ruins
of a French -museum during World
War II. This piece was brought to
the y S and rescored for band in
1949. "Fandango," the conculding
piece, is a brilliant flashy, Spanish
number, which incorporates all,of
the unusual instruments of the
percussion section.

tically, and that the band members
will both enjoy playing and bene­fit
from it.
Prof. Leidner has said the
concert will last approximately
an hour and a half. There will
be time enough to attend it and
the dance at the Student Activi­ties
Building.
The theme of the concert. "Sym­phony
to Jazz," indicates a period
of well-rounded and appealing
music. No admission will be
charged.
Works to be played during the
first half of the concert are "Page­ant,"
by Persichetti; "Ballet Mu­sic"
from "William Tell," by Ros­sini;
"Da Capo," by Georges Bon-langer,
and "Czech Rhapsody," by
Weinberger. After a short inter­mission
the band will conclude its
program with "Military Symphony
in F," by Anderson; "Knight's
Bridge March," by Contes; "Met-ropolio,"
by Carter, and "Frang-ango,"
by Peckens.
Several of these numbers are
very outstanding compositions.
Col. Butler, University of Ala­bama
band director, has said
that "Pageant" is "an extremely
difficult undertaking' for any
band in Alabama." It is an
original composition for band
commissioned for the American
Bandmasters- Association and '
was first .performed In New
York City in Junri, 1953, with
Persichetti, head of composition
at the Juliard School of Music,
conducting the Goldman Band.
"Da Capo" is a novelty number
in which the same theme is con­tinually
repeated in different
ways. The piece is conducted in
a very jazzed-up manner.
A feature of the evening will be
a cornet trio ,pf Alvin Bradshaw,
St.' Petersburg, Fla.; Bob Long;
Atmore, and Bill Potter, Hunts-ville,

New Cheerleaders To Be Selected
At Annual "A' Day Game Saturday
Cheerleaders for 1956-57 will be chosen Saturday at the
A-Day Game by the Cheerleader Selection Committee, it
was announced by John Watt, Superintendent of Student
Spirit.
Tryouts are continuing this week leading to t h e selection
of fourteen final candidates to be
' named on Friday. The selection
committee will choose these fin­alists
from the group of approxi­mately
sixty students now parti­cipating
in the tryouts. This de-
•• cision is expected to be made on
the basis of performance shown
on tomorrow and Friday.
Finalists will be on hand during
the warm-up period of Saturday's
game and will lead the crowd in
cheers at this time. They will,
be presented individually at half-time
and will then be given an
opportunity to show their skills
in leading the crowd. Final judg­ing
will be made during this com­petition.
In accordance with recent Sen­ate
legislation, all seven cheer-
'eaders will be selected.-' This dif­fers

selection are the presidents of

Last Glom Notice
For the benefit of graduating
seniors and co-ops who want to
1 reserve a Glomerata, the Glom
office will be open tomorrow
(Thurs.) from 1 until 6. This will
be the last day for reserving^the
books.
Gresham says...
Glom For '56
To Feature, Color
"More color than ever before,"
states Editor Batey Gresham about
the 1956 Glomerata. He says the
yearbook will be larger this year
than any previously published,
containing 20 more pages than last
year. . .
It is well on its way to comple­tion,
according to Jerry Bell, busi­ness
;rnanager<;Ctess-. s,eptions~ have
been finished since Christmas, or­ganizations
are complete, and the
snapshot and advertising sections
are almost done.
Bell was enthusiastic in his
praise for "Glomerata" staffers
as he said: "We've had a small
but extremely conscientious staff
this^ year. Through their efforts
we've been able to meet our
deadlines and to increase the
size of the book."
Good photography and more
complete coverage of events are
stressed in the Glomerata this
year, says Gresham. here is dis
played a better quality of imagi
nation in the work. The snapshot
section has been revised and other
sections have added interest, in­cluding
snaps and personality
photos on the class pages. Also
more space has been devoted to
sports, he said.
Fraternity and . sorority sec­tions
see pictures of officers in­troduced
this year. These sec­tions
have been rearranged with
refinement of design and con­tent.
|
Gresham summed up his re­marks
with: "In designing and
composing i the publication the
foremost concern of the staff was
to reflect/the Auburn student body
informally and in good taste with
emphasis on color and good pho­tography.
The goal we set for our­selves
was to tell a story with
every picture."
Definite circulation dates for
the "Glomerata" have not been
set but they will come some­time
in the middle of May, ac­cording
to Bell. These dates will
vfall on two weekdays and; stu-'
dents will be able to get their
yearbooks only on these days
and only on presentation of I.D,
cards.

Auto Safety Drive
For Next Week
The Student Government Asso­ciation
will conduct an autom6-
bile safety drive on March 7 and
8 according to Bj.ll Amos, Colum­bus,
Ga., superintendent of cam­pus
drives.
The safety drive will be aimed
at promotion of highway safety,
especially as Auburn students
travel to and from their homes
during holidays between quarters.
The Campus Drives Committee
will place wrecked cars at Toom
er's Corner and at the corner of
Ross and Mell Streets to empha­size
the result of careles driving.
Banners carrying safety slogans
will be strung above the main
highways leading into Auburn to
encourage safe driving habits.
SGA will carry on each quar­ter
a campaign similar to the
coming safety drive in an effort
to maintain Auburn's good rec­ord.
A car-truck collision on the
outskirts of Opelika resulted in
fatal injury to an Auburn coed

traffic fatality involving an Au­burn
student in two years.
Spring Quarter Events
All organizations and groups
should turn in their activities
for the' Union Spring Quarter
Calendar of Events to room 306,
Union. Deadline will be Friday,
March 2. ;
started with "The Band that Plays
the Blues." This was the band that
recorded "Woodchopper's Ball"
for Decca.
In the early 40's his band as­sumed
a new style as new men
came into it. Swing became
popular and it was during this
era' that such numbers as "Cal-donia,"
"Apple Honey," and
"Northwest Passage" became
' popular.
High spot of this band's career
was its Carnegie Hall concert in
1946, when it presented Ralph
Burns' "Summer Sequence" and
the special composition written
for it by Igor Stravinsky, "Ebony
Concerto."
Suddenly, a few years ago
swing died. It was at this time
that Woody broke up his band.
He attributed the disappearance
of jazz music largely to war, in­flation,
and television. "Kids
were preoccupied with the war.
They didn't have time to dance
or learn, to dance. At the same
time we lost the band business'
bread and butter—radio time at
night. TV had taken over. Ris­ing
prices of everything kept
customers away."
Recently business started im­proving.
Music itself has improv­ed,
says Woody. "We're • getting
less of the "Three Little Fishes"
type of thing and more good stuff
that can be played by bands. Lots
of people are getting tired of TV
. . . the biggest thing, though, is
the interest now being* shown on
college campuses."
With the advent of the Thir'c*
Herd critics again began to sing
the praises of Woody Herman.
In 1954 he made a one month
concert tour of Europe. Band
leaders and music from Oslo to
Munich lauded the group.
Frank Conniff writing for In­ternational
News Service says,
". . . his emergence with a big
new band that successfully inte­grates
the best features j of tradi­tional
jazz with the really good
stuff from the new school may
mark an important milestone for
the music business."
The Third Herd has recorded
for Capital, Columbia, M-G-M,
and Woody's own label, Mars..

Panhellenic Opens

Cater, dean of women, for more
information. Forms are being
prepared for the interested groups
to fill out and send back to the
Auburn Panhellenic Council. The
Council will then make a pre­liminary
screening and invite in­terested
groups to come to the
campus for personal conferences.
Sarah Margaret Smith said,
"The committee was unanimous
in wanting strong national groups
to come to our campus."
Dorris Ann Smith, chairman of
the expansion committee, stated,
"I feel that -well-known national
groups would not only add pres­tige
to the campus, but would
also give Auburn another con­tact
with campuses in other parts
of our country. It is the hope of
the Auburn Panhellenic that the
new group or groups will be able
to colonize this spring."

Open Hearings Needed LITTLE M A N O N CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
Each spring the members of the Board
of Student Allocations get together one
afternoon and divide the student activity
funds between the various student activity-projects.
These funds, amounting to well
over $100,000 per year, come from the stu­dent
activity fee which is paid each quar­ter.-
Considering the large number of enter­prises
financed in part or in whole by this
fund, one afternoon is a short time for
dividing the money available. This short­ness
of time is emphasized by the fact that
representatives of the projects do not ap­pear
before the board to state their needs.
Instead, they turn in their requests and
reports for presentation at the board
meeting.
After the Allocations Board has set the
proportion that each project is to receive,
the Senate must confirm-the recommenda­tion.
In the past, however, the Senate has
not made any investigation of the needs
of activities, nor has it called representa­tives
of these activities to present their
cases.
When such a large fund is involved,
more students should give thought to the
requests made, and should air these re­quests
and discuss them. As the situation
now stands, activity representatives. don't
even have & chance to voice their views in
person. They must rely on their reports,
which may or may not represent them
well. . v
To correct this situation, either the Al­locations
Board or the Student Senate
should hold open hearings at which the
activities involved could have a limited
amount of time to present their reports
and requests. The Senate could hold its
hearings' either before or after the Alloca­tions
Board meeting. If the hearings were
before the meeting, the Senate could make
recommendations to the Board; the Allo­cations
Board met or held hearings prior
to Senate action, the Senate could then
hold its hearings in determining whether
to approve the proposed allocations.
Such hearings would be fairer and more
democratic than the present method of
hurried decision. Senate members and
students in general would be more inform­ed
of the nature and scope of activities fi­nanced
by their student activities fees.
Groups who felt they had received a raw
deal would have a chance to appeal to the
Senate after the Allocations Board had
met.
Let's have open hearings on allocations.
New Cheerleaders
This week we are seeing the new Cheer­leader
Law in operation for the first time.
If numbers trying out are an indication of
success, then we should be well pleased^/
with the law. Aspirants are trying out in
much greater numbers than in past years.
Watching these aspirants each day are
members of the cheerleader selection com­mittee.
As in the past, they will make
the selections, but this time they will pick
seven rather than just fill vacancies. When
the committee picks the seven cheerleaders
for next year, those who have been on
the squad in the past will have, as they .
should, a great advantage over anyone
else because of their experience. Even so,
with as many vacancies as would occur
anyway next fall, the committee has a big
job.
We are all concerned that they make
good selections for a job which involves
working with and leading the Auburn
spirit at athletic events.
Saturday, the fourteen finalists will
lead the yells at the A-Day Game, and the
selection committee will make its final
choices. New cheerleaders will be chosen
strictly on merit, and no politics will be
involved. This is as it should be, for Au­burn's
cheerleaders hould be elected on
the basis of performance rather than affil­iation.
Saturday, we will see this performance
ourselves, and shortly afterwards we will
learn the names of the 1956-57 cheerleader
squad.
A Phi O Bookstore
The Alpha Phi Omega Bookstore under
the steps of Langdon Hall did a thriving
business at the first of this quarter. In
the several years of this student operation,
its success has depended on the quality of
leadership, and - business has been a sort
of hot and cold operation.
This year, the bookstore has performed
a good service for the student, and t he
leadership of Max Rosenberg has made
this service available to more students.
This we like, for each time a student buys
a book here, he not only saves money for
himself, but he also enables another stu­dent
to receive more for his old book.
Briefly, the bookstore operates like
this: You take your book there, set a price
yourself, and leave it. When the book is
to foster the Aubnrn spirit

sold, A Phi O mails you a check for the
price you set less a 10 per cent commission.
Students who are disturbed over the
- high initial cost and the low resale value
of textbooks should investigate these ad­vantages
of using the A Phi O Bookstore:
1—Set your own prices.
2—10 per cent commission only.
3—Prompt payment after book is sold.
4—All profits go for student welfare
projects.
The A Phi O Bookstore can afforcL/to
operate on a 10 per cent commission be­cause
it pays no salaries, rent, or taxes.
Neither does it lose money on unsold or
outdated textbooks. It can save money
for the student because i t doesn't need a
large profit margin for operating expenses.
Yet it can still make a net profit for stu­dent
projects.
Later in the quarter signs in front of
Langdon Hall will announce that the book­store
is taking in books for resale at the

We here at Auburn have been very for­tunate
this year in that we have had no
less than three big name bands scheduled
to play here for concerts and dances.
In the more recent past name bands
have been rare on this campus. There is
a good deal of cost involved in bringing
them here and, as a result, organizations
have been hesitant about doing it.
Last fall, however, ODK took the ini­tiative
and arranged to have Art Mooney's
orchestra here for the annual ODK-Glom-erata
.Beauty Ball. Attendance was not
as large as was anticipated but everyone
who attended seemed to enjoy the dance
thoroughly, and having name-band music
for the affair was an unusual treat.
Then came the IFC dance concluding
Greek Week and with it came Duke-El­lington.
Although the crowd was not so
large for the dance this year as it was for
last, the dance was a big success and those
present lauded the music of the Duke.
Another opportunity to enjoy extra spe­cial
music awaits tomorrow in the Student
Activities Building for the coming of
Woody Herman and his well known jazz
band, The Third Herd.
If we can continue to give these name
band dances and concerts increasing sup­port
we may see even more'on campus in
the future. Social outlooks are brighten?

Russia Threatens With ICBM
BY TIM FORD
"Don't select one of the Professors for th' commencement
speaker. . . . We're limited for time."
I BELIEVE
God Comes First
Most of us come to college to
improve Vnfr education and pre­pare
ourselves for the future.
If Iduring these four years,
though, we separate ourselves
from God to remain at a spiritual
standstill, then better that we stay
at home and dig ditches.
Eor what have we gained if we
let such things as campus or or­ganizational
honors, social posi­tion,
ROTC rank, athletic ability,
or popularity make us feel so self
important that we lose our hu­mility
and our compassion for
other people?
What have we gained if dis­couragement,
self pity, or inferior
feelings cause us to sacrifice
standards and morals in an effort
for attention?
FROM THE ALAMO
You Got Me Wrong
By Sam Houston
Since yours truly wrote a col­umn
appearing in the January 25
issue of The Plainsman, he has.
been not slightly maligned, spat
upon, and gen­erally
made the
brunt of a good
many nasty re-
- marks. So, you
print something
and every per­son
reading it
can take a dif­ferent
interpre­tation
of said
article.
I fear that this is the unfortu- •*
nate circumstance the article en-came
to be met with. Suffice it
to say, it seems that everyone got
it wrong. I am sick and tired of
explaining mys"elf to everyone
who took issue with the face value
or true meaning of it.
Great chunks of free publicity
have been given to Playboy maga­zine
in this paper and other cam­pus
publications throughout tfcie
country. Here's some more.
It's hardly the sort of thing
you'd take to the WCTU to give
a reading from, but it contains
excellent material—from the dirty
jokes to the Playmate of vthe
Month—and is well worth your
time. Unless your nose is very
cold.
Playboy is going into its third
year of publication. It's fantastic
rate of sales has grown probably
more than any other publication.
Certainly much. more than any
titled "Don't Waste Our Time,"
other man's magazine. If it is
possible that any of the 8,000 stu­dents
or swinging members of the
faculty here haven't dug Play­boy,
I heartily deman'd that you
procure a copy immediately. If
you don't, you've missed the most
sophisticated man's mag (the
women dig this too) in the busi­ness.
Luckily for us students, there is
a campus representative for Play
boy on campus. He is Don O'Brien
at the Theta Chi House. You can
get lower rates than other peons
by phoning 851.
/ This spring the Union is spon­soring
a spring show. Its, title will
be, strangely enough, "The Spring
Show." Student produced, tryouts
begin tomorrow "and run through
Monday. Everette Short, in charge
of production, stressed the need'
for singers, actors, dancers. He
also emphasized the need of back­stage
crew-helpers.
Tryouts will be / held in the
Union Ballroom.
If you have seen the Playmak-ers
at the Eagle's Nest, yout have
a small idea of what "The Spring
Show" will be like.
BY MURREY ECHOLS
What have we gained if we lose
our courage to stand for truth and
the Christian way because we fear
it will bring disapproval or will
.hurt our chances on the campus?
It is very easy in our rush and
activities to push God aside, pre­tending
that we will return to re­ligion
later. Have we talked with
God so few times that we've failed
tp realize that there is no dividing
line between life and religion? Do
we--really feel that studies, ambi­tion,
activities, or anything on this
campus • are important enough to
make God secondary in our lives?
College can, and should, help us
find a closer relationship with
God, for it teaches us to think and
reason. And when we open our
minds, He can' help us overcome
pride, prejudice, and selfishness.
He can also tell us that we should
do His will and keep the Com­mandments
because we love Him,
and not because we are afraid of
going to Hell if we don't.
I believe if Auburn is to grow
spiritually more students and
teachers who know the truth must
have the courage to stand for it.
Then others who are undecided or
indifferent will find it easier to
follow Christ.
I believe that college can be one
of the most valuable experiences
of our lives, but' only if we keep
God above our visions of material
success, "For what shall it profit
a man if he gain the whole world
and lose his soul?"
Recent claims by Russia indi­cate
that they have won the race
for the Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile, a race which may prove
to be the most deadly in the his­tory
of humanity. This means
that the hydrogen bomb is only
30 minutes "away from Auburn.
If the Russian
claims are val­id,
then ' t he
balance of po­wer
will natur­ally
shift to the
side of the com­munists.
Such
a balance of
power in favor
of the Russians
will give them
a free hand to leisurely con­sume
the remainder of Free Eu­rope
while we would have to sit
idly by, held in check by the pow­erful
threat of the ICBM.
How will this affect us here in
the IT. S.? More specifically, how
will this affect us here in Au­burn?
At first, probably very
little. But gradually this tech­nological
monster will assert it­self
in many different ways. The
most noticeable thing will be an
increase in prices or taxes. The
government will have to have in­creased
billions to use in an ef­fort
to overtake and match the
Soviet's advantage.
A revision in present draft
laws will probably be effected.
The Armed Forces will need rnore
men to train as technicians and
also more men to help offset the
tremendous manpower advantage
that the ICBM would give the
Russians.
College students are usually
somewhat remote from the many
ramifications of daily activity
concerning national and interna­tional
politics and world policies,
and because of this remoteness
they often assume a "too" casual
attitude regarding their position
and its importance as a definite
unit or segment o f j h e thinking
population. Too frequently they
regard their position as one vast­ly
removed from the scope of
important events and very often
their influence is geratly under­rated
or misjudged. With the
Russians supposedly holding the
axe over us, the college student
is placed in" a position of growing
importance for the nation is in
very definite need of intelligent,
young leadership and potent, mi­litary
ideas.
No one person can solve the
present international dilemma,
but a healthy, introspective atti­tude
on the part of the educated
society of the United States will
certainly go a long way in im­proving
the situation. This atti-
PURE GEMS v
My Night In The Dorms
BY BILL KLEMM
And there I was — 10:05 at
night on the second floor of Dorm
VII. Here I stood, alone with 100
gals and one unsuspecting house­mother
. . . during quiet hours
yet.
As I meandered down the hall,
I encountered two. startled coeds
who had been
playing l e ap
f r o g . They
turned and ran,
gibbering, "A
man, a man."!
Seeking ref­uge,
I knocked
on t h e first
door in sight.
After some de­lay,
a bug-eyed
cutie opened t h e door. Mick­ey
Spillane s c e n e s flashed
through my mind.
I need somebody to hide me,
I sairf furtively. She let' me in
and announced, "Come on out,
girls; it isn't the Girly Gestapo."
Three gals emerged from the
shower, one from under the bed,
and three more from the closet.

Sixty-three per cent of the stu­dents

the housemother rang the - fire
alarm. Ill-clad females, some
just out of the shower, dashed for
the exits.
Outside now, I glimpsed a girl
walking. She was dressed in
heels and a raincoat. Slowly,
every slowly . . . the legs of her
pajamas unravelled into view.
As I passed do\vn the walk, I
peered through a Dorm XII win­dow.
What did I see but a coed
.turning back the main clock.
Next I found myself entering
Dorm IX. Going upstairs, I heard
a panicy cry from within a room.
Hero that I am, I dashed in. The
girl faded in a dead faint. It
seems someone had caught herein
the shower, taken away all
clothes, curtains, towels, and oth­er'protective
covering.
With an embarrassed impulse,
I dashed into the hall, only to
be met by a distressed coed who
claimed she couldn't find her bed.
Naturally, I agreed to help. It
appears that her room-mates had
taken the various parts and scat­tered
them in trunk rooms
throughout the dorm.
Next I heard a thundering se­ries
of alarm clocks (at 2 a.m. no
less). Evidently a group of gals
had decided to awaken everybody
else.
Then a sweet, sumptious doll
1 came waltzing down the hall,
stumbled, and banged into the
fire alarm. And away we go!
Now I was in Dorm IV. As I
walked down the hall I smelled
. . . yes . . . it was hot dogs. I
knocked at the door. A consider­ate
soul, the girl let me in.
"Come," she said, "sit by the fire
and calm your rattled nerves."
They passed me a hot dog from
the fire in the waste basket.
As I sat, I heard a tinkling from
the other room. "What ever is
that?" I inquired. "Oh,' she re­plied
nonchalantly, "that's' my
suite-mates playing marbles in
the bath tub."
Later, I went over to Alumni,
where I was greeted with a gush­ing
wave of water; It seems the
gals were "settling the dust" with
a fire hose. (
With this, I made a leap to
avoid being engulfed. I crashed,
onto the floor—from my double-tude
will result only from a cere-fur
study of communist policies,
international doctrines and pres­ent
democratic tendencies. After
such a study one should ask the
question: "Where are we going, in
what direction, and how soon?"
All this may sound like' a lot
of work, but right here in Au­burn
is the best place in the
world to acquaint yourself with
the most pressing problem in the
world today, that of world dom­ination
by the communists.
You have access to the' library,
the knowledge of the history de­partment,
the departments of eco­nomics,
military and education.
We should take it as a personal
affront' that the Soviet has per­fected
the ICBM (even if the US
already has it) and assume our
role as future leaders in this
struggle with the Soviet by fa­miliarizing
ourselves with the
present world situation as much
as is possible.

Congratulations WSGA
Dear Editor,
Congratulations to whom it
may concern for finally injecting a
little logic into one usually illogical
situation which arises^when girls
in the dorms are called upon to
share their rooms with visitors to
some convention. Last weekend
the FTA was here, and for the
first time, dorm residents who
volunteered to let the visitors
stay in their rooms weren't pen­alized
for rules violated by them.
In the past Auburn coeds were
urged to volunteer space for con­ventions
of this sort and then
were campused or restricted them­selves
when the. visitors failed to
observe permission hours. This
failed to make good sense because
the "hostess" usually didn't even
know the girls who were staying
in her room. Maybe the WSGA
and others responsible are plan­ning
a few other logical improve­ments
in rules of this type or is
that too much logic to hope for?

The JoysfoffiPure Trivia
By Ann Rivers
This column doesn't seek to al­ter
anything; it isn't a crusade for
a cause; it hasn't got a high and
noble motive, and it doesn't have
any sage comments to offer on
timely-events. It isn't even advo­cating
the support of any sort of
week—unless it's "Lets-Please-
Don't-Have-Any-More-Weeks-for
-ArWhile Week, It's just one Still,
Small Voice in the midst of all the
sweetness and light and Nobility
of Purpose, timidly pleading for a
little wild, wonderful insanity, an
occasional mad fling, and an ounce
or two of irresponsibility and
slothfulness.
Look, y'all, it's spring. Practic­ally,
anyway. Winter quarter's al­most
gone, and judging from'the
number of cars cluttering up the
scenery around Chewacla. Lake
Fever is just before setting in on
an epidemic scale. Please, don't
lets have any. more tepid chit-chat
about studying. Forget it, and go
out and listen to the Voice of the
Turtle. Do something unusual.
Have a popcorn party over your
Bunsen burner, or take your
housemother to the jai alal mat­ches,
or join a folk song group and
learn the latest Scandinavian Hik­ing
Songs. Write a letter to the
editor of The Plainsman.
Doesn't anybody ever do any­thing
rash any more? The end of
winter quarter is a marvelous time
to get absolutely fed up with the
trivial routines of life and the in­cessant
Auburn monsoons and get
away from it all. Doesn't anybody
ever feel an overwhelming urge to
crack their T-square over their
knee and cash a check and go to
Panama City? Or hack up a pro­fessor
with a machete during a
quiet one o'clock lecture and bi­cycle
to Thailand? Alas, I think
not. The spirit of adventure is
dead; or if it isn't, at least it's so
smothered under tons of term
papers and convention and pro­priety
tha tit's unrecognizable. Or
maybe it's like that good old Sou­thern-
fried institution of chivalry
—everybody talks about it, but no­body
does it any more.
I propose a rebellin. Let's make
next week "Follow-Your-Impulse-
Week." Who knows? It might be
such a welcome that we can make
it an annual affair, like Greek
Week and Village Fair, complete
with panels and discussions and
committee investigating topics like
"How to have bigger and better
impulses," and related subjects. If
such an invocation were locally
successful, it 'might spread to
state-wide dimensions, and then—
why, there'd be no limit to its
scope! Think of all the wonderful,
uninhibited people who'd be for­ever
grateful to one little ole col­lege
in the heart of the big ole
South.
Well, anyway. Let's all do our
bit' in our small way, even if it's
only saying "Pooh'on prof" under
our breath. It gives you a nice lit­tle
glow of diabolical glee, and,
you'll have the satisfaction of
knowing you defied a convention
—even a little one — which is a
wonderful feeling.

Allocations Board Determines Use
Of Student Activities Funds Yearly
By Gene Williams \
Plainsman Staff Writer
Have you wondered what becomes of the Student Acti­vities
Fee that you pay at the beginning of each quarter?
Not many students are aware of the breakdown of this fee.
The major decision of the.breakdown of this fee is left up to
the Allocatiohs Board.
Union Activities, 4.
Members of the Allocations
Board are the Executive Vice-
President of the College, David
W. Mullins; Business Ma'nager of
the College, W. T. In'gram; Dean
of Women, Miss Katharine Cater;
Director of Student Affairs,
James E. Foy; the President of
the Student Body; the President
Pro-tern of the Student Senate;
the Treasurer of the Student
Body; and the President of
WSGA.
The latter members of the
Board will be the newly ejected
officers for the coming year who
will take office during the Spring
Quarter.
f This board meets in the spring
Quarter and submits "to the
President of Alabama Polytechnic
Institute with the concurrence of
the Student Senate its recom-dations
for the allocation of the
Student Activities Fee."
The fee, which is paid each
quarter, totals $7.50. Of this, only
$5.00 goes directly to support stu­dent
activities. Two dollars go
directly to the Auburn Union
Building Fund, and $.50 goes to
the Contingency Fund.
The money from each quarter's
Student Activities Fee, that goes
to support student organizations,
is divided according to the per­centages
allocated by the Alloca­tions
Board.
In determining the allocations
for the various student organiza­tions,
the Board 'considers: t he
activities which the group carried
out in the past year; the activi­ties
which the group has planned
for the coming year; and the
value of the organization to the
st\u dent.
The major allocations, percent­age-
wise, from last year's meet­ing
of the Allocations Board in­clude:
Athletics, 40; Glomerata,
23.5; Plainsman, 8.75; Lectures
and Concerts, 5.5; and Student
Poultry Club Elects
The API Poultry Science Club
on Feb. 7 elected Milborn N.
Chesser as president and Eugene
Lambert as vice-president.
At a special meeting on Feb. 14,
the program1 consisted of a film
featuring the development of the
Hy-Line -chicken.
Everyone is invited to • attend
the meetings which are on the

Debate Tournament"
Finals Thursday;
Team Takes Second
The Ninth Annual Auburn De­bate
Tournament got under way
Tuesday, Feb. 28, with eighteen
entries. Preliminary rounds were
held yesterday and today, and the
final rounds are scheduled for
Thursday, March 1.
The question for this year's
tournament is "Resolved: That The
States Should Have the Power To
Nullify a Federal Supreme Court
Decision."
The judges for preliminary
rounds will be' members of the
faculty of the Speech Department.
There will be one judge from the
faculty of the Speech Department
and two" members from the Debate
Council judging the final rounds.
Trophies will be awarded the
final round of debating. Gold and
silver keys will be presented to
all students reaching the semi­finals.
The trophies are presently
on display in the Union Building.
Charles Gibson, Chairman of the
Tournament, had this to say con­cerning
this year's tournament:
"We are expecting this tournament
to be the best so far from all ap­pearances.
It is hoped that from
this tournament will come future-members
of the Auburn Debate
Team.?'

They say younger minds are often the best minds . . . creative,
unafraid to explore and open to challenge. We at Melpar fully agree.
What's more, Melpar needs the creative younger minds, because we
ar§ charting courses in areas never before explored. To us it's a constant
adventure, and an expedition into the unknown.
We wish you could watch the progress of the young men in our research
laboratories. Men who only yesterday, it seems, came to us from the
universities and are now engaged in vital projects in our applied research
and development programs,
i We think it would help you evaluate the various opportunities which
* present themselves and to decide you belong in an organization which
recognizes not only your abilities, but your long range ambitions as well.
We have found that the best means of helping our men achieve these
ambitions is to let them work from the start on small congenial project
teams led by experienced engineers. Achievement is quickly recognized
and rewarded.
We believe an engineering graduate is ready to apply his knowledge.
If, however, you desire to pursue advanced study while on the job, we
invite you to join any of our many accredited in-plant courses, or enroll
at one of the many universities in the Greater Washington Area. ,
You will find the Washington Area an ideal place in which to live
and work. Free of heavy industry, virtually depression proof, close to;
Government agencies and other research sources, the suburban area in
which Melpar is located provides a stimulating environment for professional
and intellectual growth under conditions of minimum.stress.

A-Day Battle Set For Saturday
Grid Game Climaxes Spring Drills; x
Kickoff In Cliff Hare At 2:00 P.M. X
By George Wendell
Assistant Sports Editor
Saturday, March 3rd, will mark t h e climax of a twenty
day spring practice as Coach Ralph Jordan puts his 1956
Auburn grid machine on display for t h e first time this year
when the Orange meets the Blue in t h e annual A-Day game.
Kickoff time is set for 2 p.m. at Cliff Hare Stadium
The Orange aggregation will be
trying to get back on the win­ning
trail this year, having suc­cumbed
to the Blues for the past
two years by scores of 14-6 and
40-20. This may be their chance
because the Blues will have to
find substitutes for such All
James, and Frank D'Agostino, not
to mention standouts, Bob Scar-brough
and M. L. Brackett. Miss­ing
from last year's Orange team
will be Johnny Adams, Bill Bur-bank
and Alton Shell.
The Blues have been fortunate
again this year in that -eight of
the eleven spring training start­ers
have been assigned positions
on their squads. These are left
end Jerry Elliott, left tackle Ben
Preston, left guard Ernest Dan-jean,
center Frank Reeves, quar
Americans as Joe Childress, Fob .terback Jimmy, Cook, left half
Bobby Hoppe, right half Billy
Kitchens, and fullback Jim Walsh.
The Oranges will- get the other
three starters, right guard Chuck
Maxime, right tackle Paul Terry,
and right end Jimmy Phillips.
In The Stands
Big Weekend Ahead For Plainsmen;
Tilts Slated In Cage, Grid Sports
Auburn sports fans can look forward to a busy time this
weekend. The Tigers cagers collide with Alabama Friday
night in t h e Montgomery Coliseum, and t h e Orange and
Blue gridders clash in t h e A-Day game at Cliff Hare Satur­day
afternoon.
The A-Day contest should be a wide open spectators' affair.
"Shug" Jordan, the Tigers' head grid mentor, claims to have divided
the two squads quite evenly. To make a real crowd-pleaser out of
it, he has given each aggregation a top-notch aerial duo. The Blues
have the Jimmy Cook-to-Jerry Elliott combination and the Oranges
have Howell Tubbs-to-Red Phillips. In last year's 40-20 Blue tri­umph,
Cook-to-Phillips clicked for two Orange TDs.
With Bobby Hoppe, Tommy Lorino, Jim.
Walsh, Billy Kitchens, and Donnie May all on
the field at once, there ought to be a little
fancy footwork also. Jordan emphasized this
when he said, "Work on defense has been at
a minimum; it should be a free-scoring game."
As for the Tide-Tiger basketball tilt, Au­burn
can't get much consolation by looking at
Alabama's record this season. Johnny Dee's Crim­son
crew handed" Keatucky ' its worst defeat in
history last we^cpTOEmg the 'Cats 101-77. No
other team had "ever scored more, than 89 points
against them until then. Auburn's 81 eanlier this
winter was previously the best that any SEC
squad could boast.
The Tigers have sHown an inclination to
clam up against lesser foes this season, while
they have run wild against the bigger biks. Alabama also seems
to have this habit. Consequently, we are going out on a limb to
predict a point spread of no more than five Friday night and a
possible upset, closely akin to the Georgia Tech-Kentucky fracas
of 1955.
Auburn's record against Alabama is a mere 3-13 through the
years, but six of these losses have been by four point margins or less.
Alabama and Auburn have only been competing against each
er in the hardwood sport for just eight years. Tiger-Tide athletic re­lations
were non-existent from 1907 until 1948, making it possible to
have all the scores in the series down in a smalle space. Here they are:

Auburn 78 Alabama 99
Auburn 80 Alabama 84
1955-56
Auburn 77 Alabama 86
Quarterback Howell Tubbs, who
has seen only limited service dur­ing
spring drills will also be
playing with them.
Both teams will present a po­tent
passing attack with the
Oranges relying on, the aerial
combination, Tubbs - to - Phillips
and the Blues boasting the Cook-to-
Elliott duo. The ground at­tack
should be worth watching
also since Coach Jordan has an
array of talented backs including
Hoppe, Kitchens, Walsh, Donnie
May and Tommy Lorino.
Although Jordan has not named
the starting lineups for the con­test,
the Orange will probably
open with LE Jerry Wilson, LT
James Warren or Billy Austin,
LG Ken Johns or Jeff Weekley,
C Jimmy Ricketts, RG Maxime,
RT Terry, RE Phillips, QB Frank
Riley, LH Lorino, RH Jimmy Las-ter
and FB May.
Probable starters for the Blues
will be LE Elliott, LT Preston;
LG Danjean, C Reeves, RG Tim
Baker, RT Dan Presley, RE Mike
Simmons, QB Cook, LH Hoppe,
RH Kitchens, and FB Walsh.
This is only a tentative lineup
for the most part because last
minute changes may occur due
to injuries during the finaLweek
of practice. Of the 72 man squad
Jordan has picked sophomores to
dominate both teams. The Blues
have 25 while the Oranges have
24 second year men.
Vols Top Tigers
In Sports Arena
Squeaker, 91-87
Tennessee rode a record-breaking
47-point performance
by center Carl Widseth to a 91-
87 victory over Auburn in the
Sports Arena Saturday night.
The 6-4 senior from Davenport,
Iowa, smashed no less than five
all-time Vol high marks.
Widseth's 15 field goals and 17
free throws became the new tops
in Vol record books as does his
season total of 478 points and ca­reer
total of 1231.
All of Auburn's starters hit in
the double figures, but they could
not reach Widseth. Lanky Tiger
center Bill McGriff was the clos­est
with 18 points.
Despite Widseth's big effort,
the Tigers made a real battle of
the SEC tilt, leading most of the
way. Auburn had a 46-45 mar­gin
at half-time, and after swap­ping
the top spot with the Vols
frequently in the second half
were still ahead 86-84 with three
and a half minutes left to play.
In the closing moments, Vol
guard Herman Thompson sank a
30-foot fielder and Widseth step­ped
in with a hook shot to end
Tiger hopes for good. • Auburn
came within one point of t h e
Vols at 88-87 on a layup by Kay
Slayden and a free throw by Nel­son,
but three more points by
the Thompson-Widseth , combi­nation
in the last eight seconds
provided the clincher for the 91-
87 score.
Slayden was runnerup to Mc-griff
in Auburn scoring with 16
tallies. Jim O'Donnell followed
close behind with 14; Henry Siur-kie
had 13; and Nelson 12.

in downing the Commodores.
Vandy was ranked sixth in the
nation in last week's Associated
Press poll.
Jim O'Donnell was the big
spark in Auburn's offense which
took an early lead and then stav­ed
off every Vandy attempt to
close the gap. The Tiger captain
poured 23 points through the nets,
using every shot imaginable —•
hooks, layups, and long sets.
The Tigers had a 38-26 lead
at .the half, but the Commodores
narrowed it to seven points be­fore
the Auburn five could get
rolling again. Using their fast
break offense to advantage,
Coach Joel Eaves' crew moved in
front by as much as 14 points
during the final ten minutes of
the game after, they began to
click once more.
The. Tigers just couldn't miss,
and Brownie Nelson, Kay Slay­den,
and Bill McGriff helped
O'Donnell prove this statement.
McGriff had 16 points; Slayden
14; and Nelson, 13.
Bob Thym was the big man for
the Commodores, hitting for 21

with 14.
Al Rochelle, Vandy's highly

only four of 15 shots from the
floor. He wound up with a tptal
of 12 points for the night.

Coach Johnny Dee's Rocket
Eight has by far outclassed all
SEC rivals this year in piling up
a conference record of 12 wins
and no losses and an over-all rec­ord
of 18-3 against all comers.
Led by 6'8" "Moose" Harper
and 6'4" George Linn, the Tide
has rolled up impressive victories
over Kentucky and Vanderbilt,
the league's other top candidates
for the title.
AH-American center Harper
has been leading the Alabama
squad throughout the season. He
holds the school scoring record
for both career and single game
totals. He set the individual
game record this year with 47
points. Harper also appears to
have the conference rebound title
cinched, averaging 21.9 rebounds
per game.
Forward George Linn, holder
of the longest recorded field goal
in the history of the hardwood
sport, has averaged about 21
points this season. He is third in
the conference in the free throw
department having bucketed 104
charity shots in 132 attempts.
Another scoring leader on
'Bama's five is 6'2" forward Den­nis
O'Shea. O'Shea leads the
conference in field goal averages
with a 50.5 mark.
Rounding out the Tide's senior
starters are guards 6'1" Leon
Marlair and 6'0" Dick Gunder.
The Plainsmen hold a 7-5 rec­ord
in conference play and have
won ten of 19 over-all through
Sunday.
Coach Joel Eaves' Tigers will
probably start Captain J i m
O'Donnell and Kay Slayden in
the corner positions.
Bill McGriff, 6'7", will be the
man to hold Harper down under
the basket. Brownie Nelson and
Henry Sturkie will probably start
at the guard posts.
Preceding the main event at
Montgomery, Auburn's undefeat­ed
freshman team will meet the
Tide's frosh. Game-time is sche­duled
for 6:30.

HUSBANDS, ANYONE?
It has been alleged that coeds go to college for the sole purpose
of finding husbands. This is, of course, an infamous canard, and
I give fair warning that small and spongy as I am, anybody who
ever says such a dastardly thing when I am around had better
be prepared for a sound hiding!
Girls go to college for precisely the same reasons as men do:
to broaden their horizons, to lengthen their vistas, to drink at the
fount of wisdom, to trail their fingers in t he main currents of
American thought. But if, by chance, while a girl is. engaged in
these lofty pursuits, a likely looking husband shiuld pop into
view, why, what's wrong with that? Eh? What'! wrong with
that?
The question now arises, what should a girl look for in a hus­band?
A great deal has been written on this subject. Some say
character is most important, some say background, some say
appearance, some say education. All are wrong.
The most important thing — bar none — in a husband is health.
Though he be handsome as Apollo and r i ch as Captain
McCutchen, what good is he if he just lays around all day
accumulating bedsores?
^HeTurek * p f S l i m b . . .
The very first thing to do upon meeting a man is to make sure
that he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance to
beguile you with his wit and charm, slap a thermometer in his
mouth, roll back his eyelids, yank out his tongue, palpate his
thorax, rap. his patella, ask him to straighten out a horseshoe
with his teeth. If he fails to pass these few basic tests, phone
for an ambulance and go on to the next prospect.
If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to the
second most important requirement in a husband. I refer to a
sense of humor.
A man who can't take a joke is a man to be shunned. There a re
several simple tests to find out whether your prospect can take
a joke or not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or burn his
"Mad" comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or t u rn loose his pet
raccoon. Or shave his head.
After each of these merry pranks, laugh gaily and shout
"April Fool!" ff he replies, "But this is November 28," or some­thing
equally churlish, cross him off your list and thank your1
lucky stars you found out in time.
But if he laughs silverly and calls you "Little minx!" then
put him to the next test: Find out whether he is gentle.
The easiest, quickest way to ascertain his, gentleness is, of
course, to look at the cigarette he smokes. Is i t mild? Is it
clement? Is it humane? Is it balm to the palate? Does it minister
tenderly to the taste-buds? Does it coddle the nerve-ends? Is it
the perfect accompaniment to today's easier, breezier living?
Is it genial? Is i t bright and friendly and full of dulcet pleasure
from cock-crow till the heart of darkness?
Is it; in short, Philip Morris?
If Philip Morris it be, then clasp the man to your bosom with
hoops of steel, for you may be sure that he is gentle as a summer
breeze, gentle as a mother's kiss, gentle to his very marrow.
And now, having found a man who is gentle and healthy and
blessed with a sense of humor, only one thing remains: namely,
to make sure he will always earn a handsome living. That,
fortunately, is very simple. Just enroll him in Engineering.

Grapplers Take SEIWA Title
Embry, Maldonado, Lone Champs;
Tigers Barely Win On Team Points
A u b u r n ' s top flight wrestling team, paced by Captain
J e r r y Embry and Vic Maldonado, rolled to their t e n t h con­secutive
Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association
championship last weekend in one of the closest tourneys
ever staged. The Tigers were held to a low total of 60 points
which was just four markers better t h a n their nearest rival,
Emory University.
The other teams entered and
their point productions were:
Chattanooga University, 48; Ma-ryville
College, 44; Vanderbilt
University, 43; Sewanee, 32; and
Tusculum, 5.
This victory also marks the
tenth straight year as a winner
for Coach Arnold "Swede" Urn-bach
who claims, "This is the
weakest team at Auburn since I
came here, but the boys have
done an excellent job." An Um-bach
coached squad has never
lost an SEIWA championship.
Winning first place medals for
Auburn were Embry and Maldo­nado.
This was the first time that
an Auburn team has not come
home with at least four first place
awards. Embry, wrestling in the
157 pound class, defeated Jim Gil-liland
of Vanderbilt on points,
5-2, to win his second tournament
medal in two years. Maldonado
defeated lion Nabors of Mary-ville
in the 147 pound class by a
score of 5-1, for his first tourney
medal.
Dick Downey, 167 pounds, and
William Rankin, 191 pounds, won
second place awards for the
Plainsmen grapplers. - Downey
was seeking- his fourth SEIWA
chnmpionship but injured his
knee in his first match, and the
leg aggravated\him the rest of the
way.
Walter Keller, 123 pounds; Jack
Allison, 130 pounds; and Frank
Keller, 137 pounds, each copped
third place medals. Frank Kel­ler's
semi-final match was con­sidered
one of the best of the
tournament.
Commenting on the matches,

Tiger Baseballers Already Practicing
With Season Opener Slated March 16
"We should have a fair ball
club, considerably b e t t e r than
last year's". These are the
words of Coach Dick McGow-an,
in reference to the 1956
Auburn Tigers baseball team.
The club has already started
drills and will knock off the
lid of a 24-game schedule
when they oppose Florida
Southern in Lakeland, Fla., on
March 16.
McGowan pointed out catching,
pitching, and second base as be­ing
the stronger and more expe­rienced
parts of the club. Catch­ing
chores are handled by Jimmy
Powell and Reuben Finney, both
of whom are in their fourth year
on the Tiger squad. The pitchers
include Paul Susce, Herb Pierce
and Wynton Overstreet while
Captain Guy/Young holds down
second base. The only other re­turning
letterman with his posi­tion
near cinched is Howell.
Tubbs, versatile right fielder.
Some of the top prospects oth­er
than those already mentioned
are Gordan Swordsma, Alton
Shell, Doyle Pair, Jimmy Laster
and Hindman Wall.
Of the 24 games the Plainsmen
will play, 16 will be SEC en­counters
and there will be four
Saturday afternoon double-head­ers.
Eleven contests will be held
in Auburn including twin bills
with Tennessee and Georgia Tech.

Religious Coordination At Auburn
Dates From Compulsory Chapel Days
By Gene Williams
Auburn has from its earliest beginnings been interested
in the religious instruction of its students. In its first years
compulsory chapel was held each day for the students with
church services and Bible classes on Sunday.
Churches here conduct Sunday
services and religious week-day
programs for students, but the
central coordination of the Chris­tian
life of each Auburn student is
centered in the Student Council
on Religious activities.
The purpose of SCRA, as stated
in its constitution, is to "provide
a functional organ for promoting
and sponsoring campus wide re­ligious
activities in which opera­tional
coordination is needed be­tween
the various student religi­ous
organizations."
The Council does not promote
an inter-denominational church
or movement for the adoption of
a common faith doctrine. It does
not interfere with the religious
programs of each individual de­nomination,
but it is instrumental
in bringing about a greater spi­ritual
consciousness on the part
of each student to his chosen re­ligion,
i
The main highlight of the
SCRA year is' Religious Emphasis
Week, an established custom at
Auburn since 1939. SCRA presi­dent
Jere Allen, speaking of the
year's REW, said, "I feel the.
week was very successful on the
whole. And I believe many stu­dent
Jere Allen, speaking of this
ness of the importance of religion
in every phase of their lives."
MARTIN
Theatre
Thurs.-Fri. March 1-2
Other activities sponsored by
SCRA include: Brotherhood
Week, Religious Arts Exhibit,
March 25-April 8, and Religious
Films.
Brotherhod Week promotes a
better understanding between
students of different faiths and
between races and nationalities.
The arts exhibit, which is open
to all students, is to encourage
students to become interested in
religious arts. • Ninety dollars in
prize money, and keys will be
awarded to the winners. SCRA
has scheduled a series of reli­gious
films to be shown in co­operation
with the Auburn Union
program.
The Council is composed of rep­resentatives
from Gamma Delta,
Lutheran; Baptist Student Union;
Westminster Fellowship, Presby­terian;
Canterbury Foundation,
Episcopal; the Church of Christ;
Hillel Council, Jewish; Wesley
Foundation, Methodist; Newman
Club, Catholic; Disciples of Chris­tian
Fellowship, Christian; and
other main campus groups.
Officers of the council are:
Jere Allen, Chairman; Norton
"Where are you going with that
hammer and chisel?"
"To fix my wife's drawers."
"Don't tell me they're wooden."
