Dr. Steacie Speaks
Before ACS Meet
Dr. E. W. R. Steacie, president
of the National Research Council
of Canada, spoke to the Ameri­can
Chemical Society, Auburn
section Jan. 18. The subject of his
address was "The Reaction of
Free Radicals in Gaseous Sys-
I terns."
' A native of Canada, Dr. Steacie
earned his Ph. D degree in phy­sical
chemistry from McGill Uni­versity
in 1926. •
.• Except for 2 years doing re­search
in England and Germany,
Dr. Steacie taught chemistry at
McGill from 1923 to 1939 when
he joined the research council
staff. He has been council presi­dent
since 1952.

Players' Production
Of Ibsen's 'Ghosts'
To Open Jan. 29
"Ghosts," the most remarkable
play written by Henrik Ibsen,
one of the founders of the mod­ern
school of drama, will be pre­sented
by the Auburn Players in
Biggin Hall for a 10-night run
beginning January 29.
In "Ghosts," Ibsen treats the
subject of heredity on its tragic
side by considering the case of
the darker passions as they are
handed down from father to son.
Oswald Alving, the son of a
dissipated, worthless father, has
been brought up by his mother
in ignorance of his dead parent's
shame, that he has within him the
seeds of a transmitted disease—
the evil sown by a p r e v i o u s
generation.
He has gone into the world to
make a name for himself, but
is forced to return to his moth­er's
home. The vices of his father
soon become apparent by his be­havior,
and his wretched mother
sees in him the ghost of his
father. He himself feels the poi­son
working in his veins. The
play is climaxed by his efforts to
escape the inevitable.
School Blood Drive

February 21 has been set for

wishing to give their blood,

Anderson urged all students in
good health to donate their blood.
If the contributive spirit of last
year's drive prevails, there is no
doubt but that 1957's drive will
be a great success and a tribute
to Auburn, Anderson stated.
All of the blood received will
be used exclusively in the Lee
County area.

Quadrangle Beset
As Lights Go Out;
Where were you while the lights
were out — last Thursday night?
Odds have it that you were over
in the •luadrangle if you are a
coed; and there's a good chance
that you were over in the quad-rangel
even if you aren't a coed.
Both gals and guys were there in
large numbers — it's just "that
the former group was inside the
dorms while the latter milled
around outside in the sub-freezing
cold.
The Alabama Power Company
reports that the lights went out in
the Auburn area at 10:45 when
a power line carrying 44,000 volts
broke in two — probably due to
contraction caused by the extreme
cold. •
The power failure touched off
two simultaneous events; the Ala­bama
Power Company dispatched
a trouble shooting team to repair
the broken line—and fraternities,
rooming houses and mens dorms
immediately _ dispatched groups
of shouting boys headed for the
quadrangle shouting "panty raid".
Tom Duke, Plainsman Panty
Raid Reporter, one of the first on
the scene, reported that a crowd
estimated at 500 gathered, milled
around, and would probably have
gone back home before they be­came
frostbitten had it not been
for coeds leaning out of top win­dows
to shout encouragement or
wave lingerie at the boys below.
Duke reported an attempt
was made to rusH the door at
Dorm III, but alert ODK and Blue
Key members stopped the attempt
cold. Moments later, power service
was restored and lights blazed on
after some 22 minutes of darkness.
The brave nocturnal raiders
blinked sheepishely at each other,
started home — spectators and
raiders both.
March Grads
Candidates for degrees in
March who have not cleared
deferred grades (Incomplete and
absent examination) may do so
only with permission from the
Council of Deans. Graduates
who need to secure such ap­proval
should check with the
registrar's office immediately.

after two days of well-attended
convocations, semi­nars
and services. S e v e r a l
noted l e a d e r s have been
speaking around the general

This service is expected to be of
special interest.
"Everything is going smoothly"
says Bart Morrow, Birmingham,
chairman for REW. "Everybody
has worked exceptionally well;
there have been no rough spots
so far, and the work of the com­mittee
has been very commend­able.
"It is up to the individual stu­dents
now. Its success will de­pend
upon their participation and
contributions to the program."
The week got off to a start
Sunday with a retreat at the
Social Center attended by the
visiting speakers and committee­men.

The R EW committee has also
made available a bulletin to pro­vide
additional material.
'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
ANITA REYNOLDS, freshman in art from Grayson, was se­lected
as this week's loveliest, not just because she has a good
ear for music, obviously.
Anita's fondness for good popular music is indicated by the
delicate way she handles that Elvis Presley record.
Dr. Polgar Brings Fun With The Mindr
Back To Campus February 13 And 14
IFC Signs Herman
For Dance, Concert
Woody Herman and his or­chestra,
The New Third Herd,

Dancing will begin at 8 and con­tinue
until 12. Preceding the
dance from 6-7 p.m., the orchestra
will present a concert. Both events
will take place in the Student Ac­tivities
Building.
Long known as a leader in the
jazz field, Woody Herman has led
bands for more than 17 years. In
1936, he started with The Band
that Plays the Blues. This was the
band that recorded "Woodchop-per's
Ball" for Decca.
The Third Herd has recorded
for Capital, Columbia, MGM and
Woody's own label, Mars.
Dr. Franz Polgar and his
"Fun With The Mind" show

to attend the program ;bn Wed­nesday
night; fraternity and so­rority
members on Thursday
night. This is because of the
chapter meetings held- by the
fraternities and sororities on
Wednesday night."
Dr. Polgar's program will con­sist
of hypnosis, telepathy, and.
memory feats. He: has been hail­ed
as one of the outstanding psy-i
Chologists of our time, but the
main object of his program is
entertainment. His mental feats
have amazed audiences through­out
the United States; ..-,,
Mrs. Hawthorne sai*,':: "After
the success of Dr. Polgar's pro­gram
at Auburn last year, the
Program Committee decided to
sponsor a repeat performance;
We hope the many students who
were turned away from Polgar's
performance last year, will be
able to see him this year. And
we hope the students who did
see and enjoy Polgar .last year
will be back to enjoy him again."
New Band Uniforms
May Be Received
Auburn's band will receive new
uniforms providing details can be
worked out by the committee in
charge. "Bodie" Hinton, band
director, is head of the committee.
A uniform manufacturer, an
Auburn graduate, has offered the
materials free of charge. Auburn
will pay only for the labor in­volved.
The uniforms, if accept­ed,
will be of slightly different de­sign
and will be closer to the
school colors than those at pres­ent.

API Students Borrow For Education;
Repay On Time, Say Loan Officials
Officers of a Columbus, Ga.,
educational fund are most com­plimentary
of the way Auburn
graduates repay loans they obtain
to help pay their way through
college.
"During the period that this
fund has been in operation, $240,-
347.87 has been sent to 408 stu­dents
through your business of­fice,"
writes Guy E. Snavely, Jr.,
executive secretary of the Pic­kett
and Hatcher Educational
Fund, in a letter to Dr. Draughon.
"You may be interested in
knowing that 217 students who
have attended Alabama Poly­technic
Institute have completely
repaid the amounts they borrow­ed,"
he continues. "We have ap­proximately
100 who are . now
repaying and approximately 100
who are still continuing their
education."
"We have gone through all of
our past due accounts and find
that not a single one is a person
who attended the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. Frankly, we 'do'
not remember having any un­usual
difficulties with any bor­rower
who attended the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
"Although the trustees of this
fund have been in position to
encourage students to attend
more than 300 different colleges
scattered over the United States,
our largest single group has
been enrolled at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. This is
probably due to your large en­rollment
and the fact that we
are nearby."
The Pickett and Hatcher Edu­cational
Fund was created by the
late Claud Adkins Hatcher of
Columbus, Ga., founder of the
nationally known Nehi Corpora­tion
and its predecessors, to help
high school graduates with limit­ed
financial resources to get a
college education.
Fraternities And Sororities Go Anti-Social-No Parties
By Juna Fincher
Plainsman Society Editor
Fraternities and sororities
seem to be going anti-social,
that is, if parties are any in­dication.
Formals and house-p
a r t i e s in connection with
them are the only social ac­tivities
which we have receiv­ed
word om With one exception
—the SAE's had their semi-an­nual
"hi-lo" stag party at their
new house site last Friday.
In addition to the formals com­ing
up, several Greek organiza­tions
have held elections and
initiations recently, which take
the social spotlight.

DON'T SAY IT!! SEE ITJ!
I i . i . . ' •
By Gene Williams
. P l a i n s m a n F e a t u r e Writer
I n connection with the na­tion-
wide concern over the
r e s t r i c t e d reading ability of
college students, some .sig­nificant
research h a s b e en
carried out on the campus
by Dr. R o b e r t B. Skelton,
H e a d Professor of Foreign
Languages.
This study, as s u b m i t t ed
to the Council of Deans, is en­titled
"The Effect of High School
Foreign L a n g u a g e Study on
Freshman Test Scores at API."
The findings of the study should
be of more than passing interest
to college students concerned
with their own intellectual de­velopment—
and honor points —
and are summarized here on that
account.
Registrar's Report
The basis of this research is
the registrar's report on those
students who entered Auburn in
Sept. 1955, and their scores on
the freshman placement tests.
These tests include English Me­chanics
of Expression, English
Effectiveness, Reading Compre­hension,
American History, Math­ematics,
and a psychological ex­amination
which rendered two
scores, Psychological Q, a meas­urement
of basic intelligence, and
Psychological L, a measurement
of Linguistic Ability. A total
of 1696 students took this bat­tery.
After deleting those whose na­tive
language was not English,
those for whom records were
unavailable or who missed some
of the English tests, etc., there
remained a total of 1647 students
who figured in the study. These
were divided into two groups,
those who had taken , foreign
languages in high school and
those who had not. The criterion
for the division was one semes­ter
or more, whether passed or
failed. Of this total of 1647 stu­dents,
953 had taken no Foreign
Language, 694 had. On each of j
the tests, the Foreign Language
students led the non-F. L. stu­dents
in percentage points scor- I
ed. The average scores of the
F. L. group surpassed those of
the non-F. L. group on each of |
the tests by percentages which
ranged from 17 to 44 percent.
Critics Speak
This general superiority- of the
F. L, students had been pointed '
out previously in many other
such studies. But critics of for-eigri
language study have insist- I
ed that "this apparent superi­ority
is due only to the fact that
students that elected F. L. were
more • intelligent to begin with." i
To look into this question the
two groups were divided accord-j
ing to intelligence levels. A com- |
parison of F.L. and • nonF.L. at
the same levels of intelligence
showed a significant superiority |
on test scores by the F.L. students.
Subsequent to the dissimina-[
tion of this report, objections j
were raised that, since those who i
studied foreign languages came J
from city systems -where instruc­tion
was, by and large, superior
in all aspects, the superiority can
be explained on that basis.
If this objection' were to be
valid, the aggregate advantage
the F. L. students over the non-
F. L. students should disappear
in city high schools. Examination
into this question showed that
there was still a noted superiority
of F. L. over non-F. L. in high
school groups.
In response to the question,
"How is this superiority evidenc­ed
in scholastic grades?", Dr.
Skelton investigated the fall
quarter honor point averages ac­cording
to deciles of intelligence
of the F. L. as contrasted with
the non-F. L. The highest honor
point average, 1.63, was achieved
by the Q-10 decile F. L. stu­dents.
The lowest, 0.60, was
achieved by the Q-l 'decile non-
F. L. students. The average of
ail non-F. L. was 0.90; for all
F. L., 1.25. The conclusion is,
that, insofar as the honor point
average is concerned, previous
F. L. study was tantamount in
raising the F. L. students by four
deciles or by almost 40 percent­age
points.
In his conclusion, Dr. Skelton
summarizes as follows: "The re­sults
of this statistical study,
logic, and the experience of gen­erations
force us to the conclus­ion
that the study of foreign lan­guages
does improve the com­mand
of one's own language,
thereby enhancing one's control
of subject matter in fields where
language iS" the vehicle of com­munication."
Dr. Skelton is now studying
the effect of high school foreign
language study on academic
mortality during the first year
of college.

Polio Vaccine Ignored
Summer, 1957, may see just as many
polio cases as any previous polio season
in the United States. This, in spite of the
Salk vaccine. Why, when the vaccine has
proved so effective?
Yes, it is effective. But how much
good can a t h i n g do if it is not used?
Last 3rear, shots of the Salk vaccine
were made available, free of charge, to
persons from ages 17 to 20. But it seems
t h a t several cities returned their ship­ments
unused. Why did so few people ask
for shots? Were America's teenagers "too
b u s y ?"
When those between the ages of 17
to 20 were made eligible for shots last
year, t h e API Infirmary received its quota.
They got t h e i r shipment during the middle
of the Fall quarter. An article appeared
in The Plainsman telling of t h e availibility
of the polio shots.
In the following two months of school,
less* than 20 Auburn students took ad­vantage
of the shots, according to records
kept at the Infirmary for reports to the
Lee County Health Department. Of our
total enrollment, approximately 4,500 stu­dents
are between 17 and 20 years of age.
Forty-five hundred students are eligible
for shots and less t h a n 20 took the time
to prevent a dread disease. Are our stu­dents
"too busy?"
These are the facts:
Polio can strike at any age. Older
people get polio less often than children,
but when stricken are apt to get the more
crippling kind, incurring serious after­effects.
People of the ages 17-20 are right
in between. They have the very same
chance as young children of getting the
disease and are as apt to contract the
worst form as a r e their elders.
The Salk vaccine shots are practically
painless. There is no after effect as in
typhoid or tetanus shots. They are given
in a series of t h r e e ; the second one month
after the first, and the t h i r d seven months
after the second. The one requisite, other
t h a n age, is parental permission.
The Infirmary is perhaps two or three
blocks walking distance from ,any dor­m
i t o r y on the campus. It takes three, or
maybe four days to send for #and get a
l e t t e r of permission.
As yet the shots are not compulsory,
though they may be made so w i t h i n the
next few years. Today it is a privilege,
r a t h e r than a duty, to take the shots. Are
we "too busy" to take a few minutes of
our life which may be cut short so easily?
— L. J.
RSLTi
Not As Paupers We Pay
A lack of interest in attendance at
functions featuring name bands has caused
some speculation among sponsoring groups
o n . t h e campus as to the reason behind it.
Several big name bands have appeared
h e r e within the past year and none has
been particularly successful as a crowd
drawing attraction. There are two possible
explanations for this.
One is that the typical- A u b u r n male
is not the red-blooded American man that
he is represented as being. Perhaps he is
just not interested' in women or dating.
Maybe h e * scared of girls! They say that
t h e wrathlpf a woman knows no bounds
and maybl our Auburn male just can't
cut that w a n d of butter. So he doesn't
a t t e n d darraies.v
The other reason, a more practical
one, is one of finances. In order to bring
in a name band it takes a c e r t a i n afflKmif
of capital on the part of the spoiprti^lJI
organization. In order to obtain the capi­t
a l t h e sponsor usually sells tickets to the
tune, of two to t h r e e dollars, a head. Such
a price fctt^a dance is "outrageous" to the
average sfjjdent here, or so he says.
At Auburn the financial capacity of.
t h e average student is about the same as
t h a t of students at other state institutions,
and yet elsewhere name bands d r aw tre­mendous
crowds at prices usually higher
t h a n those asked here. Why is this true?
The same bands perform at all these uni­versities.
'
Perhaps the answer lies in habit. The
Auburn student is used to getting every­t
h i n g free, or for a very low cost. Curri-to
foster the Auburn spirit

culum fees are low _here—so low in fact
t h a t most out-of-state students can attend
Auburn at less t h a n the cost of attending
t h e state institution in their home states.
Our student activity fee is e x t r e m e l y low
—only seven dollars and a half per quar­ter,
about.half what other state universi­ties
charge.
Union activities are tree. There are
movies, square dances, social dances and
many other activities all enjoyed without
charge. All-campus dances in the Student
Activities Building are free; in fact nearly
all the extra curriculum activities have
no extra cost involved other than the
initial payment of the LOW student ac­tivities
fee. . - - •
With the idea instilled in him that
activities on t h e campus are low in cost,
t h e thought of paying two dollars for a
dance, name band or not, is ridiculous.'
Thus the sponsor loses- his shirt on the
dance and as a result he no longer tries
to bring in a name band for a big dance.
The whole campus loses from this action.
A proposal to change t h e present t r e nd
so that name bands may be brought in, as
well as an overall expansion and improve­ment
of other activities, involves only, a
change in the financial habits of the stu­dent
body. A small charge could be placed
on most of the activities of the Union,
bands, choruses, Auburn Players, Lecture
and Concert Series and other groups spon­soring
affairs of general campus -interest.
The charge would not have to be large,
merely large enough to get students in
t h e habit of paying for worthwhile activi­ties.
Thus, individuals would not think of
t h e cost of unusual events, such as the
appearance of a name band, as being so
high. Also sponsors of activities would
benefit from the added income and would
thus be able to expand and improve their
programs.
Such a system as is proposed h e r e has
been tried and found to work at a great
many other schools. The University of
Tennessee has large turnouts for most of
t h e i r campus activities and charges for
n e a r l y all of them. The average dance
costs about five dollars per couple. Their
concert series has reserved seats ranging
from $1.50 to $2.50 and higher per student.
Their dramatic group has reserved seats
for $.75. The University of Florida Union
charges for its activities.
The psychology behind such a system
seems to be, "If its good enough to take
time out to attend, it's good enough to pay
for." .,,.:,"..,'.....,.......
Changing the financial habits of an
e n t i r e student body would take time but
t h e benefits would well be worth it. More
funds would be available for extra-curri­cular
activities and the student would
find it less difficult to part with his hard-earned
money for a worthwhile event re­q
u i r i n g considerable capital to finance.
We understand that several groups
on the campus have taken the idea under
consideration in planning future events.
We would suggest that groups to espec­ially
consider the proposal should include
t h e Union, the Auburn Players, the Lec­t
u r e and Concert Committee and the So­cial
Affairs Committee in handling all-campus
dances.
If the idea takes firm roots h e r e The
Plainsman will be wholeheartedly behind
it. - ' - - ; - -

FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR'S DESK
A Two Quarter College Year?
A two quarter college year? It
may be a thing of the near fu­ture
according to at least one edu­cator.
Dean Blair Stewart of Ob-erlin
(Ohio) College has worked
out the details of the plan over
the past two years and is now.
ready for experimentation at Ob­erlin
to determine the relative ed­ucational
merits of such a pro­gram.
Dean Stewart's "non-resident
plan" as he prefers to call it,
would be the answer to the in­ability
of colleges and universi­ties
to furnish facilities for study
for all who want, to get higher ed­ucation.
He proposes a plan
whereby students would spend
their first and third quarters on
campus as usual; the quarter in
between would be spent off-cam­pus.
It would be a non-resident
quarter, but a fully academic one
in which the student would persue
studies on his own.
The non-resident quarter would
not be intended as a co-op plan
with; the student going to college
one quarter and working the next.:::
"but ratKeV-if would be a quarter
of ;full time study under a plan .
similar to the correspondence
school.
Dean Stewart's plan would di­vide
Oberlin into two separate col­leges.
While college A is on cam­pus,
college B will be on vacation
or be persuing studies off campus.
At the end of the quarter, colleges
A and B would switch, thus giving
all students a non-resident study
quarter sandwiched in between
two quarters on campus; the
fourth quarter would correspond
to our summer vacation.
The purpose of the proposed
"non-resident plan" is to accom­modate
twice as many students
with no increase in physical plant,

over the nation with over-crowd­ed
classrooms, strained facilities,
and appropiations which fall short
of the need. Auburn, too, fits into
this catagory.
Ask the coed who had to come
to API in the less-crowded sum­mer
quarter so that she could get
a room in the quadrangle and
therefore become eligible for en­rollment
in the fall quarter; ask
those from out of state whose ap­plications
for fall quarter admis­sion
were turned down after the
first of August; they will testify
to the fact that API is overcrowd­ed.
Perhaps school officials right
here at Auburn may some day be
forced to consider a "non-resident
plan," or some similar program to
stretch existing facilities.
Opponents may argue that stu­dents
would not force themselves
to learn under a self study plan;
Tl\j£. may be true, but we are re-
Jiiihded of the fact that European
universities utilize self study to a
large extent. Perhaps with a re-evaluation
of the purpose of a
higher education, we too might
value learning to the extent that
we would regiment ourselves to
self study.
Another point to remember is
that Oberlin is a liberal arts col­lege
while Auburn is largely made
up of engineering and science
students. An effort to prepare
self study courses for the student
in engineering, physics or chem­istry
might meet with difficulty
considering the laboratory faci­lities
that are necessary in in­struction
of these courses. Many
problems would have to be solv­ed
before such a plan could be
adapted to the colleges and uni­versities
with engineering and
science schools.
Of course a self study plan
could never approach the educa­tional
value of an on campus in­struction.
Even so, the "non-resi­dent
plan" may some day have to
be called on to replace our pres­ent
college system if the people
of our state and our nation will
not give necessary financial sup­port
to education so that those
who desire a higher education
may have it.

The student Senate has made no

this must be done through

SMOKE SIGNALS
More Money For Students
BY CECIL STOKES
Money, or lack of it, is obvious­ly
one of the major problems of
education today, both for the in­dividual
student and for the in­stitutions
of learning, and it is
a well-publicized fact that col­leges
are pinching their small
amounts, and this undersupply is
pinching education.
Not any less important is the
shortage of money among many
students or prospective students
of Auburn and
"™~- almost all oth­er
institutions
of higher learn­ing.
This fact
should c a u se
considerable in­terest
a m o ng
our n u m b e r s
over a pair of
bills which will
soon be intrft-'
duced to Con­gress.
Senator J. .W. Fulbright, who
introduced the bill which pres­ently
aids many students with
"Fulbright Scholarships" and who
has long been an advocate of in­creased
funds for higher learn­ing,
has drawn up these two
new bills to alleviate some of
the financial burden of college
students.
One bill should allow an ad­ditional
income tax exemption
for a taxpayer or his wife or his
dependent (if under 23) if he is
a full-time student above the
high school level. The second bill
would benefit those who, work
their own way (whether self-supporting
or not) through col­lege,
by allowing these students
to deduct expenses for books,
tuition, fees and other necessary
curricular expenses from their
earnings when paying income
taxes.
These bills are not only de­signed
to encourage higher edu­cation
and correct an inequity of
taxes on a return of investments
in education as compared with
any other investment.
They are also intended to- add
to the national resources of tech­nically
educated manpower and
to add to the national income
(taxable) in future years.
Figures are readily available
to indicate the shortages in quan­tity
of graduates in our nation, and
to show how the U.S. is being sur­passed
by Russia in training en
gineers and scientists, both need­ed
by industry and national de­fense.
Those 'directly concerned with
the issue feel that it is more ef­ficient
to encourage parents and
students themselves to pay for
an education rather than have
the process taken over 'by^spyer^-
merit.
Present tax laws.allow a per­son
to pay reduced taxes on capi­tal
gains or amortization reduc­tions
of an investment such as
a tract of land or a truck used
in business. But both the income
invested in education and the
return on his investment (in­creased
income after graduation)
are fully taxed.
In figures this means that the
present personal exemption of
$600 falls far short of the tsti-mated
$1500 per year spent in
college. But none of this $6,000
(for a four-year course) is de­ducted
from the $100,000 return
(Census Bureau estimation of
the life-time increase of income
of a college graduate over a high-school
grad) on his investment
when paying taxes on it.
The bills are also intended to
aid the educational institutions
which are obviously short-fund^
ed by keeping more money in
the hands of those interested in
higher learning;
From here the bills look great.
And possibly our postcards in
the mail to our friends and con­gressmen
(Alabama and else­where)
could .make them look
greater, even to the "tight-money
interests.
Students To Get Honesty Poll
~ By Bob Beckerle
Honor Committee Chairman
To determine in some degree
the extent of cheating on the Au­burn
campus, the Honor Commit­tee
is going to conduct a poll dur­ing
the next week. The. poll will
be carried out through objective,
questionaires to be distributed
through the fraternity houses,
men's and women's dorms and
churches. Through this it is ex­pected
to reach approximately 6,-
000 students.
The questionaire will consist of
four yes-no questions which the
student will be asked to check.
These are to be answered on the
basis of the fall quarter. The
questions have been designed to
be specific and straightforward.
Although their intent should be
obvious, a brief explanation to
each question is given in an at­tempt
to clear up any possible
misunderstandings.
The questions with their ex­planations
are:
1. Did you observe cheating
In any form during the past
quarter?
This includes not only copying
on quizzes but also stealing quiz­zes
and copying lab reports,
themes, etc. The latter includes
copying only when material is
plagiarized and does not include
cases where reports are ' used
simply as a guide or when the
instructor allows the students to
work in groups on reports and
out-of-class pi'oblems. Studying
old quizzes would not be classi­fied
as cheating except-in isolated
cases.
2. Did you cheat in any form
during the past quarter?
This includes the same condi­tions
as the first question. Cheat­ing
on quizzes consists of both re­ceiving
and giving aid. Cheating is
not only in letter, but in spirit.
3. Did you observe dishonesty
outside of the classroom last
. quarter?
This question excludes honesty
as pertains to scholastic activities
and personal matters, and is di­rected
to include stealing in dorm­itories
and classroom buildings,
intentional passing of bad checks,
misuse of I.D. card, etc.
4. Did you have anything
stolen from you last quarter?
This includes books, money,
clothes and jewellry stolen from
your room, dining hall, etc.
At the bottom of the question­aire
the student is requested to
give his class and curriculum (4
IM, 1 BA, etc.). This will enable
the poll to be used in any future
studies concerning cheating with­in
schools and within classes.
Senate Members
Try To Arouse
Student Interest
90
By Charles Dunlap
Auburn's student Senate is try­ing
a new plan to create student
interest in the government, acti­vities
on the Plains. Ins the past
the Senate actions have been
rather obscure and unknown, and
just exactly what goes on in the
senate meeting rarely ever got
beyond the few hundred people
active in student government.
The Senate is supposed to be
a function of each of the eight
thousand students h|r% in Au­burn
and not just those few hun­dred.
Why aren't Senate activi­ties
known? It's because of the
lack of interest shown by you
the students. It's the Senate's
aim" now to provide ••'^ new way
of increasing student 'interest.
On the national scale our news­papers
publicize the various
functions of the higher branches
of our legislature. In this way
public opinion is created, and
legislatures are aroused by the
citizens through local newspapers,
personal letters, lobbyists, tele­gram,
telephone and actions of
the various state legislatures. Of
course we in Auburn can't arouse
opinion on such a large' scale,
but the Senate does have this
plan in mind. Each week there
will be, somewhere in The Plains­man,
a. short paragraph in bQld
face type, asking for student
opinion on an issue that is to
come up before the Senate. Stu­dents
are asked to consider the
question at hand and show in­terest
either by oral statement or
by letters to their senator.
Letters containing o p i n i o ns
should be sent to ; t h e ' Senate,
care of SGA office, Union Build­ing,
where they will be acted up­on,
and a letter will 'be mailed
to the sender stating that action
has been or will be taken on that
particular question. If you don't
want to write, and you feel you
could express yourself better
orally, then call the SGA office
and ask for a senator, then make
- an appointment to see him or to
sit in on a senate meeting. All
letters and opinions will be held .
in s t r i c t e s t confidence, and
names will be withheld upon re­quest.
For the Senate. to operate at
its best it must have maximum
cooperation f r o m the student.
Feel free to ask any question,
make any statement or request
any action that you deem neces­sary.
The Senate is a function of
the student interest and its pow­ers
is limited to what the stu­dents
will give it. =Only by in­creased
co6peratlon on the part of
the students can the Senate make
Auburn a better place in which
to -learn. Ours Is a democratic
world. , Show that you believe
this by expressing your opinion
now!

Tigers Ready For Georgia, Florida After Nipping Bama
Hutsell's Harriers Prep For Meet;
Coliseum Relays To Be Held Feb. 16
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's 1957 track squad began work­outs
last week in p r e p a r a t i o n for the indoor meet to be held
in the State Coliseum in Montgomery Feb. 16. This will be
t h e first indoor meet ever held in the state of Alabama or
t h e Southeastern Conference and will feature both collegiate
and high school competition.
The event is under the direction of Cliff Harper, president of
the Alabama High School Athletic Association, and is sup­ported
by several civic organizations of the Capital City. If suc­cessful,
plans are under way to make the meet an annual one. The
Feb. 16 date is early, but the Coliseum schedule is filled far in ad­vance,
and it was the only satisfactory open date for this year. The
meet is expected to be held about a month later in the future.
The $30,000 hardwood floor will be removed from-the Coliseum,
and the thinclads will run on a dirt track. The oval-shaped arena
..measures 130 x 260 feet, which is not long enought for the usual 100
or 220-yard dashes, but distances have been worked out for sprint
events.
The turns on the track will be made on a 44-foot radius,
and Coach Hutsell has simulated a track of this size in Cliff Hare
Stadium for his squad to use for workouts.
Events which will be included in the meet for varsity entrants
are the 60-yard high hurdles, 60-yard low hurdles, 60-yard dash,
300-yard run, 880-yard run, 2-mile run, mile relay, the shot-put,
pole vault, broad jump, and high jump. College freshmen will com­pete
in the 60-yard run and the mile relay.
No team trophy will be awarded but individual winners will
be recognized. There will be no team championship. Colleges
that have entered the meet so far include Auburn, Alabama, Flo­rida,
Louisiana State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Clem-som,
and FSU. Numerous high schools from both Alabama and
Georgia have also indicated they will send participants.
Members of the Tiger combine who are now preparing for the
meet include Leonard Allen, Bobby Hoppe, Tommy Hollingsworth,
Paul Krebs, Tommy Waldrip, Ellsworth Richter, Mavern Parker, Vic
Talbert, O. H. Wesley, Ross Wammack, Bill Yarbrough, Pete Calhoun,
Bob: Jones, Nolan Sharpe, Tom Stull, Tommy Carter, and Jim Awbrey.
The next competition for the Plainsmen following the Coliseum
events will be the Florida relays to be held in early April.
War Eagles Look For Revenge;
Gators Field Tall, Experienced Squad
By George Wendell
Plainsman Managing Editor
Joel Eaves' A u b u r n cagers, fresh from a t r i u m p h a n t trek
to Montgomery, will dig deep i n t o their SEC schedule this
week w h e n they oppose the Georgia Bulldogs S a t u r d a y night
and t h e Florida Gators Monday night. Both t i l t s a r e schedul­ed
for the Sports Arena. The Tigers are presently sporting
a 3-1 conference record, holding'
victories over Mississippi State,
Mississippi' and Alabama.
Notebook On A Tiger T r i u m p h . ::
' • The Auburn triumph over Alabama snapped a 17-game SEC vic­tory
string for the Tide. It also broke a three-year mastery the Crim-sbn-
hadjield over the Plainsmen. Joel Eaves' cagers had a very good
accuracy mark from the floor Saturday night, hitting at a 47 per
cent clip: Alabama hit a fine 43 per cent—which is good enough to
take most decisions. Free throws, 17 by Tide pivot man Jim Fulmer,
kept the Elephants in the game. The officials had a busy night, call­ing
49 personal fouls, plus numerous other rule violations. We
couldn't figure how the state papers made Auburn such a firm favo­rite
before game time. The Alabama students were in the middle of
final exams and did not have their usual representation, yet the State
Coliseum was nearly filled—estimated" crowd was 8,000. •. •
'•'. Bill McGriff had tough luck—sitting out most of the night
oil fouls. Forward Terry Chandler really gave the Plainsmen a
lift near the end with a tremendous pressure performance.
Chandler came on to replace McGriff and contributed eight points
and a half dozen precious rebounds, most of them in the over­time.
Other things we noticed at the game . . . Henry "Mr. De-.
' fense" Sturkie making Jack Kubiszyn look just like another ball
player . . . Jim Fulmer just standing around and getting fouled

battle came down to the wire. .

(m& SIGN OF GOOD TASTE
The Bulldogs are the holders
of Auburn's first SEC loss by a
75-72 count in Woodruff Hall,
Athens, a few weeks ago. Big
guns for Georgia were Curtis
Gleaton and Ray Allen, who
scored 18 points apiece. Bill Mc­Griff
was high for the Tigers
with 16.
Sophomore Sonny Poss spark­ed
the Bulldogs late in the first
half by dropping Bight straight
points to put his school in to a
40-38 half-time lead. With dead-eye
shooting from then on into
the final buzzer, they were too
hot for our stout-hearted Plains­men.
Georgia will probably use Ray
Allen and Fred Edmondson at
guards, while lengthy Roy Caba-niss,
6-5 center, will warm up
the key hole. Curtis Gleaton and
Fred Franks will hold down the
forward slots.
The Florida clash will be the
first one of the 1956-57 season
between the Tigers and Gators.
The Floridians are currently
showing a 2-1 record in SEC
competition and will field an
experienced team. They have six
returning lettermen, led by their
captain and ace sharp-shooter,
Bob Emrick.
Last year Emrick competed in
23 games and scored 410 points
for a 17.8 average.
Another of the Florida starters
will be Burt Touchberry, 6-4
forward from Columbia, S. C.
At the other forward position
is Jim Zinn, 6-7 junior. He was
an asset to the team last year as
he hit for 235 points on a variety
of jump and hook shots:
Starting at the' guard posts are
Joe Hobbs and Ron Stokely.-
Hobbs is a 6-1 junior and led the
team last year in free-throw
percentage on top of being the
number two scorer. .
With these two clashes in the
Plainsmen's back yard, the Tig­ers
should be hard to handle.
Jimmy Lee appears to have re­turned
to form and Rex Frede­rick's
height is definitely at the
Villagers advantage. Henry Stur­kie,
under-rated pi ay m a k e r
guard, Henry Hart and 6-7 Bill
McGriff should round out the
starting five for the Orange and
Blue.

Grapplers Face Maryville
After Stopping Sewanee
By Bryant Castellow
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's high-ranking grapplers will be looking for
their fifth straight win Friday night when they meet Mary­ville
College here in the Sports Arena. Maryville is one of
the strongest opponents on the schedule this season; how­ever
they still remain the underdog to last year's SEIWA
champions.
The T i g e r s are now ranked
15th in the nation, according to
the "Wrestling News." This is an
extremely strong showing since
Auburn is one of the few schools
in the top 20 that doesn't offer
grant-in-aid scholarships. This
strong rating is due in part to
the s h o w i n g displayed at the
quadrangle meet at Marshall Col­lege
when the Plainsmen met
and defeated teams from three
other conferences, VMI, David­son,
and Marshall College.
In the meet last Friday night
at the University of South in
Sewanee, the Tiger matmen con­tinued
to hold their high rating
by shutting out the S e w a n e e
grapplers, 28-0. The Plainsmen
dominated their opponents and
althonugh o n l y two Sewanee
matmen were pinned, the other
six lost by at least three points.
Individual scoring is as follows:
123-lb. class, Walter Keller de-cisioned
Neal Harris of Sewanee,
7-2; 130-lb. class, Gerald Cresap
of Auburn decisioned Kent Rea,
6-0;. 137-lb. class, Auburn's Bob
Mason pinned Gail Cox with
2:59 gone out of the first period;
Victor Maldonado in the 147-lb.

First Win Over Tide In Three Years
By Paul Hemphill
Plainsman Sports Writer
The king has fallen.
The longest string of conference wins in the SEC came
to a thrilling, photo-finish end in Montgomery's Coliseum
S a t u r d a y night when Auburn's Tigers, forced into an over­time
period, had it in the stretch drive to top the Alabama
Crimson Tide 92-88.
It was Auburn's first win over
the Tide in three years and the
first conference defeat for Ala­bama
since 1955.
When regulation time ran out,
the score was knotted at 83-83.
Thirty seconds into overtime, Rex
Frederick jumped from the side
to hit for an 85-83 Tiger edge. The
last of Jim Fulmer's 36 points was
a layup which tied it again, for the
last time, 45 seconds later.
Then Terry Chandler socked in
a long one, Frederick broke clear
for a layup, with one minute

WHO WENT TO THE PROM .
...AND WHY
"Hello," said the voice on the telephone. "This is
Werther Sigafoos."
"Who?" said Anna Livia Plurabelle.
"Werther Sigafoos," said Werther Sigafoos. "I sit
next to you in psych: I'm kind of dumpy and I always
wear a sweatshirt."
" I 'm afraid I don't remember you," said Anna Livia.
" I 'm the one whose lecture notes you've been borrow­ing
for two years," said Werther.
"Oh, yes!" she said. "What do you wish, Walter?"
"Werther," said Werther. "What I wish is to take
you to the Junior Prom next April."
"That's months away, Westnor," said Anna Livia.
"Werther," said Werther. "Yes, I know, but you are
so round and beautiful that I was afraid you might
have a date already."
"As a matter of fact I do, Wingate," said Anna Livia.
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, drat!"
vx iUWoiJaiiiflfflJUlwMWrayjfcliirt *
Anna Livia did not really have a date, but she was
expecting to be asked by Stewart Stalwart, athlete and
BMOC, handsome as Apollo, smooth as ivory, driver of
a 2.9 litre Bugatti, wearer of faultless tweeds, smoker
of Philip Morris Cigarettes, which, even without his
other achievements, would by itself stamp him as a man
of discrimination, as the possessor of a pleasure-oriented
palate, as one who smoked for the pure joy of.it, who had
sought and found a cigarette brimming over, with zest
and zip and hearty good fellowship — Philip Morris!
Well sir, Anna Livia waited for Stewart to ask her,
but two days before the Prom, to everybody's amazement,
he asked Rose-of-Sharon Kinsolving, a nondescript girl
with pavement colored hair and a briefcase.
Anna Livia sobbed for a spell and then, not wishing
to miss the most gala event of the junior year, she
phoned Werther Sigafoos.
"My. Prom date has come down with -a dread virus,"
she said, "and I'll accept your invitation, Waldrop."
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, goody ganders!"
The next day Anna Livia received a phone call from
Stewart Stalwart. "My Prom date has come down with
a dread virus," he said. "Will you go with me ?"
"Certainly," she said and immediately phoned Wer­ther
and said, "I have come down with a dread virus and
cannot go to the Prom with you, Whipstitch."
"Werther," said Werther. "Oh, mice and r a t s !"
So Anna Livia went to the Prom with Stewart and
who do you think they ran into? Rose-of-Sharon with
Werther, that's who!
Stewart had felt obliged to ask Rose-of-Sharon be­cause
she always did his homework, but she had weaseled
out because she really wanted to go with Werther with
whom she felt a great oneness because they were both
so dumpy. He fell wildly in love with her at the Prom,
and today they are married and run a very successful
five-minute auto-wash in New Bern, N. C.
Anna Livia and Stewart are happy too. They are
etill juniors and have not missed a Prom in six years.

1% I I From Chicken Raiser To Wrestler,
Maldonado's Climb Is Successful
By Don Coughlin
Assistant Sports Editor
Love of t h e sport and t h e l e a r n e d determination to win
t h r o u g h continual practice and competition has been the
major factors of Victor Maldonado's successful career since
joining Coach Arnold Umbach's wrestling t e am three years
ago.
Vic comes from a little town
of Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, where
he attended high school. He was
very interesting in chickens and
the means of raising them. Find­ing
out that Auburn had a new
process of handling chickens, he
decided to look over the cam­pus.
He was also very active in
the 4-H Club and traveled to 4-
H Fairs in Chicago and New York
City in 1951. His father visited
the API campus in 1953, liked
it and sent his son to this in­stitution.
Vic was a sophomore before
he became interested in wrest­ling.
He took wrestling in P. E.
under Sonny Dragoin, Coach
"Swede" Umbach's number one
assistant. Sonny asked him to
come out and try for a berth on
the team. He gained much ex­perience
during this initial year
and went on to win the SEC
championship his junior year.
Vic has been injured often dur­ing
"his career with the matsmen.
A separation of the shoulder was
his worst hamper, and soon .af­ter
those effects wore off, he
broke his thumb. He has had
stitches above his eye arid a bad
knee. Recently a few ligiments
in his ankle have given him
trouble. But Vic has warded off
these injuries and come right
back on the mat as if nothing
had happened at all. He has stat­ed
that "only a broken leg could
keep me from wrestling."
Both coaches, Umbach and
Dragoin, will back that state-rhent
up to the hilt.
Maldonado has been on the
losing end of a match only once
in his wrestling life. That was
his, first match against VMI. Vic
states his reasons for losing as,
"He was big and a former cham­pion
and had tied one of Au­burn's
best in Ray Downey and
mixed with being scared in my
i first match helped me lose."
"But I believe I could beat him
now if we were rematched, be­cause
I have the experience that
he had then." He has won 13
straight since then.
' Vic will graduate next Decem­ber
in mechanical engineering
and as a lieutenant in "Uncle
Sam's" army. He will spend three
years in the service and then
he's not sure what he'll do. Of
course, his father wants him to
come back home and raise chk>
kens.
He has gained many honors at
API. He's in Scabbard and Blade,
Track and Sabre and the Latin
Club. Vic has also been named as
a Distinguished Honor Student in
the ROTC.
This is Vic's last year as a
wrestler and with the record
that he has built up so far, he
will be sorely missed next year.
Coach Umbach will have in his
hands the trouble of filling the
shoes of one of the finest wrest­lers
ever to bounce around on an
Auburn mat.

sor George W. Hargreaves who has coached Tiger linksmen for the
past "12 years. Coach Hargreaves has been a professor of pharmacy
at Auburn since 1926 and took over as golf coach in 1944.
Rex Frederick has moved up to second place behind Bailey
Howell of Miss State in rebounding in the SEC with a a average of
15.9 per game. Bill McGriff is third in field goal accuracy with 50
hits in 108 tries for a 46.3 per ceht. In Auburn's 75-72 loss to Georgia
last week, the Bulldogs hit an amazing 50 per cent of their shots
from the floor—31 of 62. The home team appears to have had a de­cided
edge in SEC cage clashes so far in '57. The visitors have been
able to salvage only 9 of 26 during the first third of the season. Vandy,
Georgia Tech, Tulane, and Kentucky hold two victories each on the
opponents' home floor. Coach Dick McGowen's baseballers will be­gin
workouts Feb. 10. Coach Hutsell has high hopes for Bobby Hoppe
in the 60-yard dash at the Coliseum Relays. The start is most im­portant
in such a short dash, and Hoppe can take off in a hurry.
Very little came out of the NCAA convention held in St. Louis
last week. The only new rules adopted were a couple of fairly minor
ones concerning recruiting and financial aid to athletes. The recruit­ing
change now bars alumni from paying a prospect's expenses when
he visits a college. The college has to pay, and he can visit only
once. Possibly the most significant happening at the convention was
the lifting of Miami's probation. The Hurricanes might Just get in
the SEC after all. Could let them in . . . and Houston, FSU, and
Mississippi Southern, too. That would be only 16 teams—then two
eight-member divisions could be formed and a round robin schedule
easily set up . . . with the respective division champs meeting in the
Sugar Bowl each New Year's. Oh, well . . .

A Campus-to-Career Case History
"Top training in a top company"
"One of the chief reasons why I
joined the telephone company was the
excellent training I was offered," says
Marvin J. Merrigan, E.E., Iowa State,
'53. "In any long-range career you're
bound to miss something important if
you don't start in with fundamentals.
"I decided that the telephone com­pany's
two-year training program was
the best possible foundation I could
get for a career. I was rotated through
every department in the company dur­ing
my two years. It was strictly on-the-
job training, and every day was
different and interesting. The experi­ence
was terrific. To my training as
an electrical engineer there have been
added the skills and know-how of a
telephone engineer.
"At the end of my training I was
made a plant foreman in Peoria, 111.
My crew is responsible for maintain­ing
telephone service in one-third of
the city. It's a job that lets me con­tribute
a lot to the business, and to
my career as well.
' T i l say this about the future—you
don't get stuck in a niche- in the
telephone company. Careers lead to
executive positions. There's opportu­nity
for advancement everywhere, and
for a lot of people, too. Top training,
in a top company, really prepares you
for advancement."
Marvin Merrigan is with Illinois Bell. There are
rewarding career openings in other Bell Tele­phone
Companies, Bell Telephone Laboratories,
Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. See

Tubbs Wins Award
For Football Ability
This year's winner of the an­nual
P l a i n s m a n Trophy was
Howell' Tubbs, quarter-back and
sparkplug of the 1956 Auburn
football Tigers. The trophy was
presented between the halves of
the Auburn-Alabama clash in the
Montgomery Coliseum Saturday
night. St] <
Ed Williams, former sports
editor of The Plainsman, made
the presentation and accompanied
it with an excellent speech:
The trophy i s awarded anr
nually to an outstanding player
picked by the Plainsman sports
staff. h "'
Tubbs was so picked because
he set the all-time Auburn record
for pass completions. The sports
scribes said all during the season
that "when Tubbs had a good
day, Auburn had a good day."
Tigers Triumph .
(Continued from Page 6)
47 seconds to go, Auburn had iced
it, 89-85.
With the lead constantly chang­ing
hands, Auburn left the floor
at halftime with a 45-40 advant­age.
Midway in the second half,
Jim Bogan grabbed a rebound and
flipped it in for a 70-70 tie. Five
minutes later the Tiders looked
like they would pull away when
they jumped ahead 77-71.
Put they couldn't shake away
from the determined Tigers. With
time growing short Alabama had
forged ahead 83-77. That's when
sophomore Jimmy Lee took mat­ters
into his own hands and pull­ed
it out of the fire for the Tigers.
In barely more than a minute
Lee threw in a long one, was
back with two more points from
the corner, then came for a layup
which locked the thing up once
again.

Almost all the Tigers were stars
this night. The twin guards Hart
and Lee led the Auburn scoring
with 24 points each and played
great defensive ball.
Hex Frederick, the big sopho­more
from Corner, played his
usual all-around game, scoring 16
points and grabbing 18 rebounds,
tops in the rebounding depart­ment.
Captain Henry Sturkie proved
once again to be the most con­sistent
Tiger. The senior forward
scored 12 points and did a fine
job of guarding the Tide's ace,
Jack Kubiszyn.
