WSGA Workshop Nets
Several Rule Changes
On Permissions, Shorts
By David Maney
Women's Student Government Association held its an­n
u a l workshop this past weekend in t h e Alpha Gamma Delta
c h a p t e r room for the purpose of revising and evaluating co­ed
regulations. Among t h e r u l e s changed were those concern­i
n g sophomore permission, Bermuda and Jamaica shorts, and
s o r o r i t y chapter rooms.
Sophomore permission was ex­tended
until twelve o'clock. This
rule, as all other rule changes,
will be effective next fall. A
motion failed to pass, however,
giving girls eleven-thirty per­mission
on Sunday evenings. This
rule affects only the movie in
Opelika. The rules group felt that
to extend permission would only
have affected the attendance of
'Auburn churches.
Jamaica shorts were included
under the same classification as
Bermuda shorts. Although the
rule was changed to allow the
girls^ to wear them to the din­ing
halls on Saturdays except
during home football games and
special occasions, the shorts will
still not be permitted on the cam­pus
proper or in town. The shorts
were' considered out of place in
town or on the campus by the
workshop. When queried as to
why they were considered out of
place, Judy Lockridge, president
of WSGA answered:
"There are certain places for
certain things and I do not think
that Bermuda shorts are in place
on the main campus. Bermuda
shouts are informal attire and
; the main campus is not the place
for such informality." ,
. .A couple will be allowed .to
stay in the sorority chapter room
in the company of two other
couples until eleven o'clock with
the permission of the sorority
president, under a new rule.
Here-to-fore couples were allow­ed
to stay in the sorority chapter
room until nine o'clock.
Stressed also in the workshop
was the fact that it is against
the present rules to talk from
the windows of the dormitories.
This rule will be enforced in the
future.
Present at the workshop were
the presidents and vice-presi­dents
of all the dormitories,
newly elected officers of the
WSGA, members of the judiciary
council. Although the girls them­selves
had full power to make
any changes or new rules as they
saw fit, Miss Cater, Miss Turnip-seed,
and Miss Wilson sat in on
all of the meetings in an advisory
capacity.
When asked as to why the
WSGA made the rules as strin­gent
as they did, Judy Lockridge
replied, "We of WSGA feel we
have a certain obligation to the
girls and their parents. We feel
that while a girl is attending
Auburn, she is the school's res­ponsibility."

Spring Show Is To Be On Stage
Tonight, Tomorrow Night In Union
Auburn students will repeat last
night's performance of Spring
Show tonight and tomorrow night.
The production will begin at 8 p.m.
in the Union Ball Room.
The Spring Show is an annual
musical that occurs about this
time every year for three years.
It is an all student production.
The shows usually depict scenes
from the Auburn campus, but this
year's production, according to
Norman Kohn, director, will take
place in foreign countries. Kohn
said that he hoped this produc­tion
will break i the tradition of
depicting scenes from the campus
and will cause other productions
to use foreign countries also. "The
Spring Show is just a regular
musical comedy type show with
three acts," says Kohn.
' Those in charge of production
are Norman Kohn — driector;
Jackie Turnage—assistant direc­tor;
Dan Kuykendall — business
manager; Rob Collins—publicity;
James Couey — stage manager;
Robert Bennett Brown—sets; Le­wis
Pruitt, Neil Lewis, Bob Mit­chell—
construction of sets; Lea
Schulta, Jeanette Kurly—lighting;
Marion Ward—production secre­tary;

KA Secession Weathers Distractions
Kappa Alpha withstood the on-slaught of envading "rab­ble
rousers" and a light downpour of rain to carry out their
scheduled secession right on time Friday afternoon.
The- invaders were a small
group of unidentified students
mounted on three horses dressed
in Sigma Chi softball jerseys and
carrying signs proclaiming —
"Come To The Sigma Chi Derby."
' As these invaders mingled with
the southern dignity, someone ap­peared
atop the First National
Bank and draped a sign over the
ledge that read "Appomatox —
Surrender Here." Moments later,
Kappa Alpha rebels mounted to
the roof, over came the hecklers
and ripped the sign to shreds.
Top brass in the southern con­tingency
read a threat of seces­sion
at Toomer's Corner and has­tily
headed the troop back to the
KA Mansion for one "long mint
julep" an'd final withdrawal from
the Union.
On the long trek down South
College Street, the harrased reb­els
ran into, or rather under still
another obstacle—a huge banner
stretched across the street at
tree top level carrying the mas­sage
"Carpet-baggers Welcome"
in large letters and in smaller
print the banner offered "Forty
Acres and a Mule."
Leaders of the southern band
dispatched men to rip down the
banner and erase the last of the
"Yankee" conspiracy's while the
rest of the southern troops
marched on to the KA house.
Later, after the Southern Gen­tlemen
and their ladies assembled
at the KA mansion, "General"
Tom Burson read the articles of
secession to the assembled throng
of rebels and on-lookers.
"General" B u r c o n declared
"Fort Kappa Alpha" free and
independent of all outside, forces
ranging from the United Na­tions
(because the UN building
is located only a few blocks from
"Yankee" stadium), to API (be­cause
it has a football team that
insists on playing one game each
year in Grant Stadium).
After the secession proceedings,
the undaunted band representing
the Old South retired into the
sancity of their Mansion.

Auxiliary will be held tomor­row
night at 7:30 in room 322

Norman Kohn has this to say
about this year's Spring Show: "I
think it will be the best and the
most spectacular show produced
thus far. It is a broadway' type
of show with sets and costuming.
I hope everyone will come. It will
be worth your time and it will be
a production which you won't soon
forget."
Cannon Disappears
From KA's Lawn;
Lion Painted Again
After all the trouble the seced­ing
KAs had with their parade,
the spirit arid firepower of the
local confederates were diminish­ed
cqnsiderably when their pride
and joy—the KA cannon—mys­teriously
disappeared from under
their noses Saturday night.
A couple of members and a
pledge of the lodge of the multi­colored
lion, captured the can­non
in the dead of night, brought
it to rest on the front porch where
its nozzle could easily be trained
on any prospective painters of the
immortal Leo and later dismantl­ed
the cannon, whose wheels are
about five feet in diameter, and
transferred the basic parts to a
couple rooms on the the third
deck of the chapter house.
Rumors fly around Auburn and
not too long after the cleverly
devised plot took its toll, the KA
vanguard, Cqjce bottles in hand

Cannon Disappears

attempted an attack on the pos­sessors
of their prized cannon. One
KA was permitted to search the
house but was unsuccessful in his
effort to find even a clue to the
mysterious disappearance—though
many described it as anything but
mysterious—of the weapon.
The mystery was all solved
when, on the following Sunday
afternoon, a caravan of cars led
by one pulling the long-lost can­non
pulled up in front of the KA
house, horns blowing and sound­ing
like the triumphant of African
elephants after draining the water
hole of a herd of South-African
buffalo. The presidents of the re­spective
chapters, SAE and KA,
laughted, shook hands and de­parted
in good spirit; and so the
episode of another KA secession
comes to a quiet but memorable
climax.

College Language Instruction Lagging
The Foreign Language Pro­gram
of the Modern Language
Association of America, which set
out four years ago to make the
most intensive language fact­finding
survey in the history of
)' the United States, has unearthed
some interesting facts about lan­guages
in American institutions
of higher learning. The most
startling of all was the fact that
38 institutions reported that they
offer no modern foreign language
at alii while 493 colleges of the
©71 reporting said they offer no
other foreign language instruc­tion
than in F r e n c h , Spanish,
and German.
Of the top 11 collegiate lang­uage
centers in the nation, six are
in the East, three in the Mid­west,
and two in the Far West.
In the East, Columbia Univer­sity,
which offers 41 languages,
leads all colleges in foreign lan­guage
instruction; while Harvard,
teaching 26 different modern
languages, is second and Yale,
teaching 25, is third.
French is still the most favored
foreign language while Spanish
follows with^a close second. The
influence of the Soviet Union's
position in the modern world is
clearly reflected in the fact that
Russian is now the fifth-ranking
modern language taught in the
U. S, Professor W. H. Parker,
who recently resigned as Execu­tive
Secretary of the MLA and
now on the Indiana University
English faculty, notes that 72
per cent of the world's total
population . . . some one billion,
nine hundred million persons . . -.
speak as natives a language other
than "those usually taught in
American colleges and universi­ties."
A graphic example of this
is Chinese, spoken by some 500,-
000,000 persons, but taught in
only 29 American colleges.
Here in Auburn, the Depart­ment
of Foreign Languages offers
elementary, intermediate, and
advanced courses in French,
Spanish, German, Italian, and
Portugese. Early in his study of
college languages the student is
introduced to the background,
history, and civilization of the
speakers of that language. The
more advanced courses are de­voted
to developing an apprecia­tion
of the respective literatures.

Strengthen Family Ties
An interesting story recently came
to our attention concerning the close­ness
of a certain family group in Texas. It
is given here as an illustration of the type
of family life which is so lacking in our
life of today.
It seems that a "number of years ago
a lawyer won a very impoi'tant case for
a client of his in Texas. The client, in ap­preciation,
gave the lawyer a ring with
a crest in the form of a snake. Shortly
thereafter the male members of the fami­ly,
most of whom were also lawyers, de­cided
to form a clan. Each member of this
clan was to wear a duplicate of the original
snake ring and the clan was termed The
Snakes.
As other men married into the family
it was decided that, a group, similar to
The Snakes, was to be formed of them and
they would be called The Mongooses.
Each prospective member of the com­bined
clan goes through an initiation given
by members. As a new man becomes en­gaged
to one of the girls of the family he
must go through the Mongoose initiation.
Quite often during the year family
dinners are held to celebrate various oc­casions.
At each of these banquets mem­bers
of the family, both Snakes and Mon­gooses,
come from all over the state of
Texas to attend. No one would think of
missing one.
The closeness that this clanship im­presses
on the members of the family is
nothing short of amazing in the world of
today. So often we find in the home of
moderns the son or daughter containing
himself or herself onlyso long as is neces­sary
before leaving the home. We Have in-i
dividuals speaking disrespectfully of their
parents and often disdainfully of their
brothers and sisters.
Perhaps it is time we stopped to ex­amine
this situation more closely. It may
even be necessary for us to examine our­selves.
It has been proven that Soviet com­munism
cannot exist in a country with
strong family ties. Therefore the first step
toward communism domination is break
down these ties so the first and only un­questionable
loyalty will be to the state.
Examples of this we have all read abdut.
Stories of children in communist dominat­ed
countries betraying their parents have
filtered through the Iron Curtain quite
often. In China today the communists are
trying to do away with the old family
system that has for so long dominated
Chinese culture.
Communists realize that if they are
ever to control the United States they
must have weak family loyalties to work
on. Perhaps the trend that is showing up
today is a result of communism at work
here.
This is something upon which we may
only speculate but we must realize that a
strong country depends first on the strong
family as the basic building block.
At any rate it is something upon which
we may all strive to improve. The family
clan in Texas sets a pace for all of us as
an example of close and harmonious fami­ly
life, the keystone of a strong democracy.
Mascot Debate Stretches Out
Debate has stretched on for weeks on
the idea of a mascot for Auburn. A few
people actively interested in obtaining a
mascot have carried on correspondence
with wildlife experts concerning advan­tages,
disadvantages, and problems of cost
and care of a tiger or an eagle.
Everything ranging from a puma cub
to a king vulture on down to a tiger skin
to be worn by one of the cheerleaders at
football games has been suggested through
this correspondence. •
This editorial is for the purpose of
summing up arguments for and against
the tiger or eagle as a possible masagt.
(Assuming that no one will be in favor-ef
going as far as changing the recognized
school mascots to allow a puma cub or
a vulture).
Initial cost of a tiger would be be­tween
$175 and $260 for a six months old
cub, and an estimated i $400 dollars for a
cage. A golden eagle has been priced at
$125, with no estimation being made on.
cost of a cage.
The Auburn Veterans Association,
currently pushing the mascot idea, fur­nished
the figures as quoted from wild­life
experts. AVA reports that the tiger
could be placed in a small traveling size
cage and need not be switched to a larger
cage for exercise. The eagle would need
a large exercise cage in addition to a
smaller traveling cage.
Currently, AVA is considering the
idea of a donations drive among the stu­dent
body to raise funds for the initial
cost of a mascot, if a majority of the stu­dents
want a mascot. Officials of AVA are
looking into the possibility of perhaps ask­ing
the Athletic Department for funds to
cover food for the animal, an estimated
$40 to $75 a month in the case of the tiger.
The small animal clinic has been mention­ed
as a place to keep the animal, and AVA
thinks that shelter would be no problem.
The eagle offers no special advantage
of display since he would have to be kept
in a cage, just as would the tiger. Eagles
are vicious birds and are easily capable
of seriously mauling a person. They re­portedly
are powerful enough to break a
man's arm, and of course, would have little
trouble ripping with their powerful claws
For these reasons, an eagle could not be
removed from its cage even if it were
placed on a leash.
The choice of a mascot offers the pos­sibility
of a tiger representing vicious
power or an eagle representing majestic
strength. Or perhaps a majority of the
student body feels that a mascot would de­tract
from the intangible Auburn Spirit.
, We will soon be given a chance by
the Auburn Veterans Association to vote
for a tiger or an eagle for a school mascot—
or against having a mascot at all.

In the past several years there has
been a great deal of controversy over the
conduct that should be expected of United
States service men when in enemy prison
camps.
Two distinct schools of thought have
existed on the matter. One holds that our
GI's should say anything asked of them
by the enemy and that we should declare
to the world that this will be our policy.
The other side believes that prisoners
should resist to the end any enemy at­tempt
to coerce them into false admissions.
Our new code of conduct for the arm­ed
forces of this nation states that U. S.
captives of the enemy will resist .to the
limit of their ability any attempt to force
lies from them. It further states that GI's
will give only their name, rank, serial
number and date of birth under interroga­tion.
Under the code a prisoner will con­tinue
to resist the enemy as long as he is
able.
It seems to us that the adopted code
is the only sensible approach to the situa­tion.
To do otherwise would be an admis­sion
of weakness on our part.
Some individuals have lower break­ing
points than others,under due stress.
Too, brainwashing techniques have been"
developed which can overwhelm the
strongest will. The' code takes these fac­tors
into account.
However, a pre-developed code of
ethics for such conditions can help con­siderably
in resistance and result in stron­ger
morale for the country.

I BELIEVE
Faith And Religion
What is faith?
Webster's says it means com­plete
confidence. Tennyson spoke
of it as believing where we can­not
prove; however I believe each
of us have a different concept of
the meaning of faith. Whatever
our concept is, we must agree
that it is one of the most impor­tant
parts of our religion.
It is also important everywhere
we go and in everything we do.
Did you ever think that it is only
through faith that you walk
through the campus. There is a
possibility that a tree could fall
on you, but through faith you. be­lieve
that this will not happen.
Almost everything we do is on
faith. /
What should we have faith in?
First, we must have faith in
God. This faith is the most impor­tant
because it is the basis of
BY STAFF WRITER
most religions and is most likely
to grow because God is the most
stable being in existence.
Second, we must have faith in
our fellow men. Life is much
more worthwhile and less trying
when this faith is a part of us.
Third, we must have faith in
ourselves. We can accomplish
nothing for God or our fellow
men unless we have faith in our­selves.
How can we gain faith?
We gain faith through practice.
When we practice faith we not
only gain faith for ourselves, but
we also help others to gain it.
If our faith continues to grow
and the faith we spread to others
continues to grow it should prove
to be a strong bond binding all
mankind into one brotherhood
under the Fatherhood of God.

Are You A Man Or A Porcupine
BY HAROLD GRANT
are at fault. -
"Instead of turning to thoughts
of love, a certain fraternal group
of men on the campus have
turned to thoughts of BEARDS.
What could be more contrary to
Mother Nature's plan and to the
chemistry of love-sick coeds?
"Growing a beard in the win­ter,
fall or summer is bad enough,
but it's tragic in the spring when
the sexes just naturally want to
get cheek to cheek and concen­trate
on the anatomical juxtapos­ition
of two orbicularis oris mus­cles
in a s t a t e of contraction
(kissing, that is)?
"Boys, how would you feel if
your date showed up looking like
a citizen of Bushlands of Africa
and every time you tried to get
close enough to her to whisper
sweet nothings in her ear, you
got a first-class bearding? It's
enough to rob anyone of his ro­mantic
speculations about the
birds and the bees.
At Mississippi Southern dis­satisfaction
is running rampart
among the female sex. All have
heard the quote from Tenney-son,
"In the spring a young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love." But Jackie McCullough
protests that such a condition
does not exist on the campus at
Mississippi Southern.
"The big oaks lining our streets
are budding in their finest green­ery,
the flowers are in full
bloom and the lawns are sport­ing
the season's best carpeting.
It's daylight at 5 o'clock and
dark at 7. It isn't hot, not cold,
but the only time of the year
when the weather man strikes
that happy medium.
"Mother Nature has done her
part. It's spring alright. The co­eds
have done their part, too.
They have donned bright new
spring clothes and their fancies
have certainly turned to thoughts
of love. It is the young men who
Three species of smallmouth
bass inhabit Alabama waters.. Last
week the northern smallmouth
was taken up. This week the Ala­bama
spotted bass and the red­eye
or Coosa bass will be dis­cussed.
Considering that the Alabama
spotted bass is a subspecies of the
northern spotted bass, we shall
discuss the two in conjunction,
dealing largely with the Alabama
species, however. To date this
fish has not been tested in ponds;
larger streams and impoundments
are the major habitats of this
wiley gamester.
The spotted bass is much like
the largemouth in general color­ing,
the horizontal stripe and
bands on its sides varying from
brown to black, and scale-row
markings being present on the
sides beneath the lateral dark
band. In separating the spotted
bass from the other two small­mouth
species, these identifying
characteristics should be consid­ered:
1. The head is more elongated
and pointed than in other species,
but becomes flattened in the area
between the eyes as the fish
grows older.
2. There is a dark, practically
straight, horizontal stripe extend­ing
from the eye and terminating
at a dark caudel spot on the base
of the tail fin.
3. There are dark markings on
the scale-rows of the belly and
tail.
4. There are dark blotches on
the back above the horizontal
stripe on the sides.
5. There are teeth on the tongue
near its base. These may be felt
with a finger and are not really
distinct teeth but are quite abra­sive.
As mentioned last week, the
redeye or Coosa bass is a native
only to the Alabama and Chatta­hoochee
river drainage areas. So
far as is known, it does not exist
in the Tennessee river drainage
area. This species frequents the
small streams in the upland trib­utaries
of the drainage area, and
is more abundant there; it is
found also in small ponds built
on these streams.
The average redeyes caught
range aroung 12 ounces, although
three pounders of this species
have been taken. As,can naturally
be assumed the eye color of the
species varies from brown to red.
The fish is brown or black, with
an olive tinge on the back fad­ing
into a golden brown on the
sides. The bass and scale-row
markings are usually an olive
color. The redeye bass can be dis­tinguished
from the other small­mouth
species by the following
characteristics:
1. It's body is more robust and
rounded than either the northern
or spotted smallmouth.
2. There are no horizontal
stripes on its sides; there are no
dark spots at the base of the tail
fin.
3. Small scales are very evi­dent
on the base of the soft por-
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
tion of dorsal and anal fins and
on the base of the tail fin.
4. Dark markings occur on
scale-rows of sides and tail; scat­tered
markings are evident on
soft portions of fins and tail.
5. There are faintly colored
bar-like markings on the back
which fade out about the mid­line
on the sides. These lines are
more easily detected in the young
fish.
Knowing fish species may seem
relatively unimportant in most
instances, however, it is of value
to know the different species of
fishes. An example close to home
took place on the Coosa River
near Wetumpka. Charles Kelly,
of the Alabama Department of
Conservation, and Dan Collier
caught nine bass weighing 32
pounds. Identifying the fish as
spotted bass, the two men sent
the longest specimen, weighing
4.25 pounds, to Dr. J. S. Dendy
here at API for positive identifi­cation.-
Dendy named the fish as
a redeye or Coosa bass, and a
world's record.
From pictures of the other bass,
Dendy thought one of the others
going over four pounds was a
spotted bass, but alas, the fish

Immigration Laws Violated . ..
Hungarian Tubercular Patients Are Admitted To U.S.;
Congressman Complains Communists Among Immigrants
Capital News and Research Bu­reau,
in a release forwarded last
month discloses some interesting
facts and opinions about our
present immigration situation.
WASHINGTON, April 24 —
(CNR) —Three full a i r p l a ne
loads—more than 390— of known
tubercular bed patients designat­ed
as Hungarian refugees have
been flown into the United States
and placed in hospitals for treat­ment
at government expense.
- This information was disclosed
this month by Rep. Francis E.
W a l t e r (D) of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the House Immigra­tion
sub-commjttee.
The patients, according to in­formation
supplied to Representa­tive
Walter, were placed in hos­pitals
under an "1-14" Immigra­tion
Service paper which com­mitted
the government to pay­ment
of $19.00 daily for each pa­tient—
a total of something over
$200,000 a month. Estimates made
at Camp Kilmer, N. J., where the
refugees landed, indicated that
these foreign patients will require
hospital treatment varying from
six weeks to a full year.
"Operations of this kind violate
and nullify both the letter and
the spirit of all American immi­gration
laws," protested Walter
in an interview. "Certainly, I
sympathize with and want to
help real freedom fighters escape
the persecution and blight of
communism, but I seriously won­der
whether shipment to America
of nearly 400 foreign patients
with a communicable disease, will
contribute much in that direction.
"And I doubt very seriously
that many Americans—who must
pay their own bills for high-priced
hospitalization without any
help from the U. S. or any other
government—will see the justice
of loading a $200,000-a-month
burden on U. S. taxpayers for
treatment of Hungarian tuber­cular
patients."
Representative Walter,, co-au­thor
of the McCarran-Walter Im­migration
and Naturalization Act
of 1952, has formally requested
Attorney General Herbert Brow-nell,
Jr., to discontinue the emer­gency
blanket parole program un­der
which the approximately 24,-
000 non-quota Hungarian refu­gees
have been landed in the
United States. Prior to that, and.
after the Hungarian rebellion' of
last, fall, some 6,300.socajleu^ref-ugees
w e r e admitted into the
U. S. on unfilled quota .lists,,in
addition to the 24,000 parolees.
"The United States, one out of
twenty-six countries offering
asylum (to the Hungarians), has
taken about 25 per cent of the
Hungarian refugees,'' W a l t er
wrote the attorney general in his
letter requesting discontinuance
of the emergency admissions pro­gram.
"It is my considered opin­ion
that as of this time, the Uni­ted-
States has taken what is gen­erally
referred to as a 'fair share*
of the Hungarian refugees."
Not only has the United States
admitted a fair share of refugees,
said Walter, but these admissions
were reported in so hurried a
fashion that screening was im­possible.
"It is a cold, simple fact," he
said, "that the overwhelming ma­jority
of the Hungarian refugees
have not been screened for com­munist
affiliation, criminal back­ground
or health. In a recently
published interview Dr. Richard
P. Saunders, president of the
Save the Children Federation in
Austria, analyzed the post-Hun­garian
rebellion refugees.
"One-fifth freedom fighters,
two-fifths communists and crimi­nals,
two-fifths opportunists seek­ing
to escape a harsh life."
Wholesale admissions like this,
declared the House Immigration
subcommittee chairman, "mark
indelibly the concerted campaign
now being waged to crash down
every legal bar against a literally
unlimited, unrestricted and un­screened
flood of immigrants into
the United States from all over
the world. The enemies of free
America are out, to change the
very character ahd makeup of our
nation and our people, by com­pletely
wrecking all laws now
limiting or restricting immigra­tion
in any way."
Representatives Walter and a
group of House colleagues, de­fending
immigration restrictions
now on the statute books, face a
desperate battle to avert repeal
or emasculation of the McCarran-
Walter Immigration Act at the
present session of Congress. Bit­ter
attacks on the law have been
launched both inside and outside
the government. President Eisen­hower
himself sent to Congress
early this year a special message
calling for changes in the law
which its supporters believe
amount to virtual repeal.
The Communist Party, at its
convention in New York, in Feb­ruary,
adopted a specific reso­lution
for a party program seek­ing
outright repeal of the Immi­gration
Act.
"One girl felt she had the per­fect
solution when she revealed,
'Oh, I just close my eyes and as
long as I can't see him .it's not
so bad.'
"But then another wondered,
'Have you ever tried rubbing
noses or kissing a billy goat? Or
have you ever tried using a whole
bottle of Jergins Lotion to soothe
your skin after a refinishing job
with a piece of sandpaper?'
"It all boils down to this —
beards may distinguish a man,
but they disgust a girl.
"So now, are you a man or a
porcupine?"

Foreigner Relates Ideas On Auburn
By Jim Crumbley
Plainsman Staff Writer
What are the impressions ,the
average foreign student receives
during his stay in Auburn? What
does he think of the American Ed­ucational
System? What concep­tions
of American life did the
student have while he was in his
country?
These and many other questions
were answered in an interview
with Dr. Roden Kosasih who re­cently
returned to his native Indo­nesia.
A veterinarian, Dr. Kosasih,
spent considerable time at Auburn
doing research work in the school
of veterinary medicine.
The only concept of American
life Dr. Kosasih had received be­fore
coming to the U. S. was
through the media of magazines
and movies. This crude concept
was soon changed, however, in
the International Center in New
York. There he was subjected to
a speedy indoctrination of the
American way of life which dis­solved
many of his ideas.
After this rather hasty intro­duction
Dr. Kosasih began his
work at Auburn, and he found
that some of the classroom proce­dures
and teaching methods are
quite different from those prac­ticed
in Indonesia and in Europe.
Among these are the roll call,
quizzes and the friendly, informal
but respectful relationship be­tween
the instructor and the stu­dent.
During his Stay Dr. Kosasih was
able to participate in many extra-scholastic
activities which helped
him to become better acquainted
with American culture. In speak-to
various civic groups he found
that many Americans were gros­sly
ignorant concerning the mores
of most foreign civilizations, but
that when our curiosity was ar­oused
we were quite eager to
learn.
Dr. Kosasih further pointed out
that direct association with the
students and teachers at Auburn
enabled him to learn many things
that would prove of value in the
continued development of educa­tion
in Indonesia.
Many advances made by mod­ern
science and practiced by the
veterinary profession here in Au­burn
are expected to be of great
help to him back in Indonesia.
In Europe the role of the pro­fessors
in the eyes of the students
is the role of a demi-god. In
America the closeness of the stu­dent-
professor plus an award
system created to recognize those
individuals who achieve unusual
success in scholastic • endeavors
initiate a spirit of healthly com­petition
which results in increas­ed
effort on the part of many stu­dents.
Another observation of Dr.
Kosasih was the high percentage
of church attendance by Auburn
students. He expressed these
thoughts along that line, "I had
rather expected them (the stu­dents)
to possess a material out­look
oh life to the extent they
would not care to be bothered by
religion. I was glad to see that
I had a false conception concern­ing
this attitude of the students."
In closing the interview Dr.
Kosasih expressed his apprecia­tion
to the faculty, the student
body and the Department of Vet­erinary
Medicine in these words:
"The opportunity for me to visit
the United States has proven to be
one of the most momentous occas-sions
of my career, and an ap­propriate
conclusion to my educa­tion
abroad. I want to extend my!
appreciation to all of you at Au­burn
for your interest and efforts
in my behalf. My association with
you has truly enhanced the pleas­ure
of my visit and for this I am
thankful."

LSU Draws Top Spot In SEC Track;
NCAA Backetball Statistics Revealed
Louisiana State University will be a heavy favorite to
cop the team title and at least two individual records appear
certain of being broken when the SEC's twelve members con­vene
on Birmingham's Legion Field for the conference's an­nual
Track and Field Meet next weekend. *
LSU, sporting the 1957 league leader in seven events, will be
competing for its fifteenth crown. The Bengals are sparked by their
great sprinter Harry Carpenter, who has recorded near the year's top
mark in half a dozen events thus far this season. • • _ .
The likely record shatterers are javelin thrower Bill Duckworth
of Georgia and shotputter Fred Berman of Tech. And ironically
enough, both will be gunning for marks they set themselves only last
year. Duckworth so far in '57 has tossed the spear 225 feet—five feet
more than his best effort of '56, while Berman, a Montgomery lad, has
topped his record, by. almost two feet,, having registered a 55 foot-2-Vy-inch
performance this season.
Expected to press LSU for the championship are both Florida
and Auburn, with Florida expected to give the most trouble. The
Gators have considerable strength in the dashes with sophomore
wtv'z Ellis Goodloe; in the two mile with another soph Mike Mor­gan;
in the hurdles with defending champion Lincoln Knowles;
in the high jump with George Pennington; and In the weight
events with Joe Brodsky.
Besides Carpenter, LSU boasts such established stars as sprinters
Bobby Mack, King Mott, and Ernest Wall; two-miler Travis Pugh;
pole vaulter and broad jumper Tommy Dukes; and shotputter Jim
Lavin; also, the Bengal's 440-yard and mile relay teams .own the
conference's best times of '57. However, as most cinder fans probably
recall, LSU has been a perennial choice for first place during the
past few years, but has not captured the championship since 1951.
The season's dual meet results often prove to be an unreliable
yardstick when rating the conference squads, as was the case in
1955 when a lightly regarded Auburn squad turned out to be bet­ter
mudders than the rest of the field on the rain-soaked Birming­ham
stadium; or last year when a comparatively unknown War
Eagle named O. H. Wesley came from the ranks to finish second
in the two-mile and provide the points necessary to push the
Plainsmen past this same LSU team into the runner-up slot.
Other Teams Given Good Chance... . .
With upsets usually the rule rather than the exception in this
keenly contested affair, at least four other teams (Alabama, Tennes­see,
Georgia, and Ga. Tech) are given no less than an even chance to
be among the top three point producers.
The SEC's top five performances of '57 in each event . . .
100-yard dash—Brown (Vandy), Goodloe (Fla.), Torrance
(Tech), Carter (Tenn.), Carpenter (LSU), all tied at 9.7.
220-yard dash—Torrance, Jackson (Ga.), Goodloe, Waldrip
(Auburn), Carpenter.
440-yard dash—Mott (LSU), Jackson, Waldrip, Beane (State),
Fitts (Ala.)..
880-yard dash—Wall (LSU), Murphey (Tenn.), Crowed
(Ala.), Mott, Krebs, (Auburn).
One-Mile run—Murphey, Atkinson (Ala.), Parker (Auburn),
Richter (Auburn), O'Dare (Fla.).
Two-mile run—Richter, Van Horn (Ala.), Burghen (State),
Morgan (Fla,), Murphey, Wesley (Auburn), Pugh (LSU). ,,..„
120-yard hurdles—Carpenter, Deiderich (Vandy), Knowles
(Fla.), Calhoun (Auburn), Stacy (State).
220-yard hurdles—Knowles, Carpenter, Calhoun, Stacy, Yar-brough
(Auburn).
High jui&ip — Pennington (Fla.), Poss (Ga.), Wammack
(Auburn), Davis (LSU), Dukes (LSU).
Broad jifmp—Dukes, Yarbrough, Denaburg (Ala.), Coving­ton
(State), p a vis (LSU).
Pole Vault—Moore (LSU), Carter, Franta (Ky.), McLendon
(Ala.), Keen- (Tech).
Shot put—Berman, Lavin (LSU), Willis (Fla), Swan
(Vandy), Sington (Ala.).
Discus—Berman, Brodsky (Fla.), Sharpe (Auburn), Kin-dernecht
(Ala.).
Javelin—Duckworth (Ga.), Spadafijio (Ga.), Klndernecht,
Burton (LSU), Home (LSU).
440-yard relay—LSU, Miss State, Georgia, Alabama, Florida.
Mile-relay—LSU, Florida, Alabama, State, Vandy.
Teams Picked For B'ham Classic . . .
The field for the 1957 Birmingham basketball classic has been
completed with the addition of TCU, Misssisippi State, and Miami.
Auburn had previously been named the host squad for the four-team
tournament to be held December 13-14. Other top contests
slated for next season's 22-game grind, include engagements with
SMU at Dallas, Dec. 19, Baylor at Waco, Dec. 20, and Wake Forest
at Columbus, Ga., Dec. 7. The Villagers will play their usually tough
14-game conference slate, with the Kentucky tilt set for the Magic
City's Municipal Auditorium.
According to the final NCAA statistics, the Plainsman cagers
ranked second in the country on free throw shooting, hitting 479
of 648 attempts for a percentage of .739. Rex Frederick finished
number 12 among the nation's field goal shooters with 103 baskets
in 201 trys for a .512 average. Rex was the first Auburn player
in history to hit over half of his shots for a season.
. The Tigers were 29th in total offense with an even 79-point per
game production, while their team field goal mark of .426 was the
15th best—not bad considering that there are approximately 440
active members i n the NCAA.
The SEC was well represented in every phase of the statistics.
Among the more prominent were, Bailey Howell first in field goal
percentage; Joe Gibbon second, Jim Ashmore sixth, Howell ninth,
and Jack Kubiszyn 12 in individual scoring; Miss State sixth, Ken­tucky
eighth, and Tenn. 19th in total offense, Tulane third in free
throw shooting; Miss State 13th in field goal percentage; Ken­tucky
6th in rebounding; Tulane third in fewest personal fouls;
Florida fifth in most personal fouls; Howell sixth in individual re­bounding;
and Kentucky outscored its opponents by 14.8 points per
game for the lop spot in that category.

Last year Lanier, winners of
two of the last three meets, ran
up a total of 27'points to over­shadow
second place finisher—

Bad weather curtailed most of
the activities in the sectional
meets during the past week. The
Class A and AA meet in Mont­gomery
Friday was washed out
after eight events had been com­pleted
and will be resumed this
afternoon at 4 o'clock. Anniston

in the AA division of the
sectional meet at Ft. McClellan
before rain forced a halt to pro­ceedings.
All events were com­pleted
except the pole vtoult,
which was resumed yesterday.
Hokes Bluff set the pace in the
Class A competition.
The sectional meet at Tuscum-bia
was completed with Sheffield

L. F. LANIER, hard hitting centerfielder for the Tigers, puts
oft the final touches of his street attire after playing one. o t the
home games at Plainsman Park.
Lanier Rated Tops In Tigers' Outfield;
Proves To Be Best Hitter On Club
By Don Coughlin
Assistant Sports Editor
The A u b u r n Tigers have many fine outfielders, but one
stands out among t h e rest. He is L. F . Lanier, t h e h a r d - h i t t i ng
centerfielder from Lanett, Alabama.
The 21-year-old junior has
been leading the SEC with his
terrific hitting ability of .450 up
until about a week ago when his
average dropped to a still fine
.390. The mark is still close to the
top in the league and leads the
Tiger batters by far.
During his high school days he
excelled in basketball and base­ball
at his old alma mater in La­nett.
In the summer months, he
played American Legion ball and
lead both the high school and
the Legion teams in hitting.
The fly snatcher has had a fine
career at the Loveliest Village,
as he has been a varsity man
since his freshman year. He
dropped out of school in '55, but
returned in '56 to hold down the
outer garden chores for Coach
Dick McGowen's Tigers, despite
a broken arm, which kept him
from playing in the first few
games. This defect didn't hamper
him in the least, as he still ended
up the season with a splendid
.302 batting average.
In the middle of this season,
Lanier led the league with a tre­mendous
.500 average. He has
had some very good days at the
plate this season including a per­fect
3 for 3 off Grawmeyer of
Kentucky; 4 for 5 against a fine
pitcher from Mercer and 2 for 2
down in Florida.
In the big series with Georgia
Tech, he helped the team by get­ting
three singles in nine times
at the plate. In the twin bill last
Saturday with the Gators, he got
three safeties in nine trips to the
plate. If one of his hits hadn't
stopped in the infield mud, it
would have scored the tying run
in Touchberry's 2-1 victory in
the first game.

v? THE THUNDERING MARCH
OF PROGRESS
Today, as everyone knows, is the forty-sixth anni­versary
of the founding of Gransmire College for Women
which, as everyone knows, was the first Progressive
Education college in the United States.
'•'. Well do I recollect the tizzy in the academic world
when ^Gransmire first opened its portals! What a buzz
there was, what a brouhaha in faculty common rooms,
what a rattling of teacups, when Dr. Agnes Thudd Siga-foos,
first president of Gransmire, lifted her shaggy head
and announced defiantly, "This here is no stuffy, old-fashioned
college. This here, by gum, is Progressive
Education. We will teach the student, not the course.
There will be no marks, no exams, no requirements. We
will break the iron mold of orthodoxy, hey.".-
Well sir, forward-looking maidens all over the country
cast off their fetters and came rushing to New Hampshire
to enroll at Gransmire. Here they found freedom. They
broadened their vistas. They lengthened their horizons.
They unstopped their bottled personalities. They roamed
the campus in togas, leading ocelots on leashes.
And, of course, they smoked Philip Morris. (I say
"of course." Why do I say "of course"? I say "of course"
because it is a matter of course that anyone in search
of freedom should naturally turn to Philip Morris, for
Philip Morris is a natural smoke, with no filter to get
in the way of its true tobacco taste.)
But all was not Philip Morris and ocelots. There was
work and study too — not in the ordinary sense, for there
were no formal classes. Instead there was a broad
approach to enlarging each girl's potentials.
late the (Vurse c<ed dmic T&tor 6mt$
Take, for example, the course called B.M.S. (Basic
' Motor Skills). B.M.S. was divided into L.D. (Lying
Down), S.U. (Standing Up) and W. (Walking). Qnce
the student had mastered L.D. and S.U., she was taught
to W. —but not just to W. any old way! No, s i r ! She
was taught to W. with poise, dignity, bearing! To incul­cate
a sense of balance in the girl, she began her exercises
by walking with a suitcase in each hand. (One girl, Mary
Ellen Dorgenicht, got so good at it that today she is bell
captain at the Dinkier-Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.)
When the girls had walking under their' belts, they
were allowed to dance. Again no formality was imposed.
They were simply told to fling themselves about in any
way their impulses dictated, and believe you me, it was
quite an impressive sight to see them go bounding into
the woods with their togas flying. (Several later joined
,the U. S. Forestry Service.) " "•• -
k There was also a lot of finger painting and gourd
rattling and sculpture with coat hangers and all like that,
and soon the fresh wind of Progressivism came whistling
out of Gransmire to blow the ancient dust of pedantry
•off curricula everywhere, and today, thanks to the pio­neers
at/Gransmire, we are all free, every man-jack of us.
If you are ever in New Hampshire, be sure to visit
the Gransmire campus. It is now a tannery.
V ©Max Shulman, 1957
And be sure to light a Philip Morris when you visit Gransmire,
or anywhere else for that matter, because Philip Morris is
always a naturally perfect companion and brings you this
column each week and is ignitable at either end. m>

Tiger Thinlies Topple Tech, 89-37;
Richter, Calhoun Post Best Times
By Wayne Ringer
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's 1957 track squad, paced by the
record breaking antics of Pete Calhoun and Ellsworth Rich­ter,
humbled the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets by a score of
89-37.
Richter, a senior from Birming­ham,
set a new Auburn Tech se­ries
record for the two mile run
where he posted a 9:50.5. The pre­vious
record was 9:51.5 set by
Chick Aldredge of Tech in 1936.
Richter is the SEC's defending
two-mile champion.
Calhoun, an Atlanta junior, had
two of the fastest, times in his
career when he won the high and
low hurdles in :14.6 and :23.9
respectively.
The Tigers dominated the meet
as they took eight firsts accom­panied
by two ties in the 14 track
and field events. Tommy Wal-drip,
Montgomery flash, captured
the 440 in : 49.5 while Paul Krebs,
Tom Stull and Louis Preis fin­ished
one, two, three in the 880.
In the mile, Auburn's heralded
sophomore, Mavern Parker, whip­ped
off a 4:27.5 which was good
enough for first place, and was
also his best effort of the season.
In the field events the Plains­men
fared better than average
as they took three firsts and tied
for another in the six events. The
winner and the event are as fol­lows:
Sonny Alsup, pole vault;
Bill Yarbrough, broad jump; Bob­by
Land, javelin and Ross Wam-mack
tied for the high jump.

Tigers Split Twin Bill With Gators;
Burkett's Homer Produces 7-5 Win
Rightfielder Jackie Burkett drilled a 12th inning homer
to give the Tigers a split in last Saturday's twin bill with the
Florida Gators in Plainsman Park.
Burkett's blast, which traveled
a good 335 feet, pushed Rex
Frederick ahead of him in across
the plate and gave the Plains­men
a -7-5 victory. The blow was
from a pitch of Burt Touchberry,
the lad that pitched a neat four
hitter at the Tigers in the first
game to gain a 2-1 win. Wynton

"BY THE PUTTING ON
of ray hands"
In irils second letter to Timothy, St Paul said, "I
put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of
God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."
(2 Tim. 1:6)
The Acts of the Apostles (8:14-17) tells of how
Saints Peter and John were sent to the Samaritans
and "laid their hands on them, and they received the
Holy Ghost"
Here is the basis for Confirmation by a Bishop-*
the laying on of hands — as practiced in the Epis­copal
Church. Our Bishops, in Apostolic succession
(that is, their succession traces back without break
directly to the Apostles) we believe, confer upon us
the strengthening power of the Holy Spirivdn the rite
of Confirmation.
An Episcopalian is confirmed by the Bishop after
he has been baptized, possibly in infancy, and after
he has reached an age of understanding. •
It is a practice as old as Christ's church — an act
of faith which has brought new life to millions. It is
worthy of your investigation. Visit the Episcopal
Church near you soon. Learn from the rector more
about confirmation.

Second baseman Bob James
was the leading batsman in the
double-header for the Tigers with
three singles in eight trips to

In the second game, Auburn

In regard to the tourny Coach
Wheeler said, "The boys obtained
some good experience as all of
the top teams from the south
participated. When our fellows
saw that the top notch men were
shooting hardly any better than
they, it gave them a much better
outlook for the future."
The green grass boys are pres­ently
sporting a 5-3 record, hold­ing
