Technique Editorial
BY BOB MABBUT
Editor, The Technique
Tomorrow as the cry of "War Eagle" is heard from
Auburn to Atlanta, one of the toughest rivalries in foot­ball
will be renewed.
We still remember last year. That's why you'll have
a rougher time this year. But all the star-gazing in the
universe could not predict the outcome for sure. The
Tech-Auburn contests are some of the most exciting in
football, and unless something extraordinary happens,
Saturday afternoon at Grant Field will be no exception.
No matter what takes place on the gridiron we sin­cerely
say, "Welcome to Tech."
Many of you will be in Atlanta tonight. You will visit
fraternities and meet many Tech men. This is good. We
want to know you. While 60 minutes on the football field
is time enough to know only too well your football team,
it takes a little longer to get acquainted with the rest of
the student body. So come early and stay late.
There have been very few bccurances in the past
to mar an otherwise enviable record of good relations
between the two schools. Members of Auburn's Blue Key
and Tech's Ramblin' Reck clubs will be on hand tonight
and tomorrow to help preserve this record.
We anxiously await your visit; we know you're com­ing
to win. So are we. But no matter what the outcome
tomorrow, we hope you will stay a while and get to know
us.
Whether "War Eagle" or "Go Jackets", let's live it up
together! ,

Auburn Squad Invades Grant Field
To Meet Georgia Tech Tomorrow
By Bill Foster
Plainsman Sports Writer
Now that the Auburn Tigers have had a double dose of
the victory serum to cure their Tennessee ills, Doctor "Snug"
Jordan will carry his medicine kit into Grant Field, tomor-
_row. afternoon to test his wonder drug against the sting of
the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Last year the Village crew
demonstrated a definite immunity
to Tech's brand of Yellow fever
and handed the Jackets a 14-12
setback. This is the Atlanta
squad's 6nly defeat in a string
of 17 games including two bowl
games and stretching back to
1954.
When the Plainsmen invade
Atlanta this time, they will be
up against one of the most ex­perienced
teams in the South­eastern
Conference? TKe Engi­neers
have 27 lettermen returning
from last season, losing just 16
which includes very few top-notchers
and specialists. v
The Jackets are about as strong
at the halfback position as any
team in the conference. The com­bined
talents of Paul Rotenberry,
George Volkert, Johnny Menger,
Stan Flowers and Jimmy Thomp­son,
is a flowerful arrangement
dreamed of by most any college
football coach in the United
States.
Co-captain Volkert set a new
season record for Tech last sea­son
when he took 81 carries for
a total of 583 yards and a 7.2
yard-per-carry average. He also
won the title of Tech's most out­standing
back in 1955.
seeing his third season as start­ing
quarterback, and Toppy Vann,
who proved to be a very success­ful
foreman for the Jackets last
season when he took over for in­jured
Mitchell, could very well
be the reason for Tech's No. 3
national rating this week. Mit­chell,
who is just as outstanding
scholastically with 4.0 average as
he is on the playing field, is one
of the best, defensive safetymen
in Southern' football history.
But it is said that on offense
Vann can even do some tasks
better than Mitchell. Last season
Toppy had 31 completions out
of 56 tosses for 58.3 per cent.
FACING EACH OTHER tomorrow will be Georgia Tech's
senior quarterback Wade Mitchell and Auburn's tossing twosome,
senior Howell Tubbs and junior Jimmy Cook. Tubbs pounded- the
Jackets into submission last year with a bang, bang air attack,
while Cook has been the Tiger spark this fall.
Miss Homecoming
A misunderstanding was
caused by a column in The
Plainsman last week with re­gard
to qualifications for Miss
Homecoming. The column, en­titled
"Candidates Qualifica­tions,"
stated under general
qualifications that ". . . all can­didates
must have an overall
scholastic average of 1.0 or a
1.5 for the quarter preceeding
the elections." This qualifica­tion
does not apply to candidates
for Miss Homecoming.
Seniors Ken Owen and Dickie A complete list of regulations
Mattison will share starting hon­ors

Joffrey Dancers To Perform Here Tuesday
The newest dance company of the American musical
stage, t h e Robert) Joffrey Theatre Dancers, will perform here
Oct. 23 at 8:15 p. m. in the Student Activities Building. Fea­t
u r e d in the performance will be a combination of romantic
ballet, dramatic dance in the Spanish style, musical comedy
dance in the best American tra­dition—
plus a liberal sprinkling
of song.
Three leading young American
dancers head the company of
seven: Glen Tetley, Beatrice
Thompkins and Gerald Arpino.
TV fans will readily spot Tet­ley,
who has danced on nearly
all the major video revues. He
also has been featured in opera
ballet, in Broadway musicals and
in concert dance here and in
Europe. Since 1951 he has been
Beatrice Thompkins has toured
the U. S. and Europe as soloist
with the Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo and with the New York
City Ballet. The dark-haired dan­cer
was also prima ballerina of
the San Francisco Opera.
Gerald Arpino is another young
veteran of TV, who also has been
featured on Broadway in "Annie
Get Your Gun" and "Bless You
All" and with the May O'Donnell

with the Nana Gollner-Paul Pet-roff
Ballet.
A triple-threat supporting per­former
in the company is a young
man named John Wilson. He is
due to demonstrate his gifts as
a dancer, as a baritone and as a
pianist. Wilson, in his short but
busy career, has also been a
teacher, a prolific composer and
arranger, and a director of dra­matic
works.
Choreography and staging of
the program has been done by
Seattle-born Robert Joffrey. His
ballet productions for Ballet
Theatre, for the Ballet Rambert
of London, his choreography for
musical comedies and for the NBC
Television Opera Theatre have
marked him as one of the leading
newcomers to the dance.
A highlight of the program
will be Joffrey's romantic bal­let,
"Pas de Deesses," which Bal­let
Theatre has this season added
to its repertoire for its tour of
Europe and the Near East under
U. S. State Department auspices.

IS THIS THE MAN
WHO STARTED IT?
There are some who dispute
the fact that President Chester
A. Arthur was the first man to
wear the Oxford Button-Down
shirt. They are right, he wasn't.
Van Heusen has discovered
that its originator was actually
Arthur A. Chester, who, oddly
enough, used the button not to
keep his collar down, but to
keep his shirt up. Whatever its
purpose, the Oxford Button-
Down (or Button-Up) shirt
wowed Mr. Chester's erowd
on sight and has been a staple
of fine wardrobes ever since.
Today, Van Heusen's Oxford
Button-Down is Still in the
authentic Chesterian tradition
. . . but with a wonderful dif­ference.
The cloth, woven of
fine long-staple cotton, is as
soft as a co-ed's smile, yet
exceptionally long-wearing.
Superbly tailored in the smart
Van Heusen way, this Oxford
Button-Down enhances your
looks, whether you're involved
in class, tugs of war or mid­night
brawls. $5.00.

API Cadets On Third Army Rifle Team
Win Honors In National Rifle Matches
By Tom Baxter
Plainsman Staff Writer
Four Army ROTC cadets from
Auburn were selected last sum­mer
as members of the Third
Army ROTC rifle team. This
team journeyed to Camp Perry,
Ohio to participate in the Nation­al
Rifle Matches, in which it cap­tured
first place in one match
and second place in three other
matches.
A.S.C.E.
Students were feted at a smok­er
prior to the Oct. 9 meeting of
American Society of Civil Engi­neers
by the members.
After the regular business meet­ing
Dr. Brown, head of the Civil
Engineer Department, delivered a
short address to the group. A film
was shown of the construction on
the Dauphin Island Bridge, near
Mobile.
After the film, cokes and cook­ies
were served.
The new officers for 1956 and
1957 are President, Mike Mc­Cartney;
Vice President, Butch
McCarney; Secretary, Billy Rowe.
Meeting are held in room 322
of the Union Building every other
Tuesday night.
Reward
Will, pay $5 for return of bill­fold
and ID card. Billfold is of
special value. Paul Julich, C&C
Dorm, 215 E. Thach.
James T. Moates and Charles
G. Cassidy fired in all four
matches, while George Parkman
fired in two. The non-firing cap­tain
of the team was Phillip S.
Sugg, who is now the cadet Army
regimental commander here.
Third Army Headquarters se­lected
the nine man team from
ROTC units in all of the South­eastern
states. API was the only
unit placing as many as four
men on the nine-man team. The
men were chosen because of the
outstanding ability that they had
exhibited at their ROTC summer
camps, and because of their pro­ficiency
with the M-l rifle..
After their selection the cadets
were sent to Ft. Benning, Ga.,
for a short training period and
from there to the National Match­es
at Camp Perry *in the latter
part of August. The Third Army
team won the collegiate division
of the Rumbold Trophy match
and placed second in the colleg­iate
classifications of the Nevada
Cup, the Enlisted Men's Trophy,
and in the National Trophy Team
matches,
Lt. Thomas J. Street of the Ar­my
ROTC at Auburn was the
Officer-In-Charge of the team.

Government-sponsored college scholarships for deserving
high school graduates were recommended by a subcommittee
of the American Council on Education at its annual meet­ing
in Chicago last week.
Dr. David Mullins, Executive
Vice-President of API, was one
of 600 educators from 972 col­leges
to attend the meeting.
The committee, citing the fact
that each years some 100,000 of
the nation's ablest high school
graduates are unable to go on
to college because of financial
reasons, asked that the federal
government set up a program of
college scholarships that would
cost an estimated 200 million
dollars a year.
Dr. Mullins stated that "not to
provide educational opportunities
for these 100,000 youths would
be a serious waste of the nation's
most precious resource—its young
people."
The committee said that, "In
the light of the national needs
and in view of the necessary size
of the program and the unequal
ability of states to meet the
needs, the establishment of a
national scholarship program by
the federal government is recom­mended."
The committee reported that
grants "should not be limited by
inequalities in the abilities of
states to provide scholarship aifl."
It should aim to "supplement and
not to replace existing scholar­ship
programs."
The committee's recommenda­tion
must still be considered by
another committee next month
and then by the full American
Council on Education.
The council also reaffirmed its
stand of previous years in favor
of an income tax credit for par­ents
paying their children's way
through school.
Dr. Mullins served on the com­mittee
on higher education and
and its relation to the state. The
topics of the committee's discus­sion,
according to Dr. Mullins,
included:
I. The state's responsibility to
support higher education is a
growing responsibility s i n c e !
higher education is a growing,
need;
2. The responsibilities of" state
institutions to the state in serv­ing
the people of the state in
the areas of instruction, leader­ship,
service and research;
3. Methods of organizing, ad­ministering
and coordinating
higher education in states;
4. Extent of state control of ad­ministration
in educational in­stitutions.
Dr. Mullins, who is president of
the Alabama Education Associa­tion,
is presently making a series
of talks to education groups
throughout the state. Last Sat­urday
he addressed the district
AEA meeting in Northport, and
on Tuesday he spoke to the Lee
County Teachers Association at
Auburn High School.
Dr. Mullins attended the dis­trict
AEA meeting at Jackson­ville
yesterday and will serve on
a panel in the district PTA meet­ing
in Auburn, Oct. 22.
The topic of Dr. Mullins speech­es
concerned increasing public
understanding of Alabama edu­cation,
working effectively with
groups interested, in public edu­cation
in Alabama, and stabiliz­ing
appropriations in Alabama
for education.

Draughon On Education 4—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, October 19, 195G
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
President Ralph B. Draughon made
some wise and profound observations re­cently
when he addressed the American
Iron and Steel Institute in Birmingham.
His theme was the need of improving the
educational processes throughout all levels
of the American school system. Unless
this need is met, Dr. Draughon said, we
stand in danger of not realizing the Ameri­can
dream of a free society. The immed­iate
danger is that we stand to lose the
"great race to influence the minds of men
throughout the world," unless the needs of
education are provided.
The task is tremendous, President
Draughon reminded, and then went ahead
to remind his audience of the "phenome­nal"
growth of American schools, colleges,
and universities in recent years. More
than 3,000,000 students are in college this
year. It is predicted that this number by
1970 will have increased to 6,400,000.
Were it not for the amazingly effec-tvie
planning improvising of such men as
our own President Draughon, together
with the unselfish and dedicated work by
faculties and staffs despite low-pay and
over-load situations, the American system
of higher education could not have surviv­ed
these post-World War II days. However,
unless money aid comes soon even the
Draughons and the dedicated teachers
cannot keep the dike plugged much
longer.
As Dr. Draughon told his audience of
industrialists, we have the finest educa­tional
goals in the world. Our emphasis
is o nthe dignity of the individual and our
whole approach to education has been pre-dedicated
upon that belief."
But underlying the crisis which faces
our educational system is inadequate f i ­nancing.
Our educational leadership can
be trusted to work eternally at improving
the standards and processes of our system.
But they must have the help of State Leg­islatures,
large corporations, and wealthy
individuals in getting the money that is
so desperately needed.
Voting In Person Required

"HEY, 0OLIVAR!-JVF FOUNP ANOTHER SPECIMEN-'
A recent law concerning the voting
by absentee ballot has caused some con­cern
among students here as to how they
will be able to vote in the coming nat­ional
elections.
The crux of the new law is that vot­ing
by persons not able to vote at the polls
on election day must be done in person
not more than 20 nor less than five days
prior to the election. The Plainsman was
in error in an editorial last week entitled
"Absentee Ballot Registration" in stating
that absentee ballots may be mailed in.
Only citizens in the armed forces or out
of the country may mail in absentee bal­lots.
It is a great privilege to be able to vote
here in this country of ours, a privilege
Auburn Spirit Is Important
Fifty-nine years of rivalry are signall­ed
by the kick-off at the Auburn-Georgia
Tech football game in Grant Field tomor­row.
Literally thousands of visiting stu­dents
and alumni of API will be present
in Atlanta this weekend. Win or lose the
old War Eagle will be there flying high
with his wings spread.
This year, however, we plaxutp win.
A long drought was terminated "last year
as we trimmed Tech 14-12. Even after a
losing opener against Tennessee the stu­dent
body can enter Atlanta with its head
high. The Tiger grid eleven showed its
stuff last week against Kentucky and we
can look forward to comparable playing
this weekend.
"Wreck Tech" is an old cliche but a
meaningful one. And this battle cry can
carry farther than the gridiron. The Au­burn
student body demonstrated this last
year after winning by the manner in which
it showed its pleasure over the victory.

of Atlanta were expecting the worst. It
was difficult for Auburn people to under­stand
the large forces of blue that had
been mobilized for thel game. We had won
football games before and no great calami­ties
had erupted. Ed Danforth, in his col­umn
in The Atlanta Journal, expressed the
reaction of the Atlanta citizenry after the
game:
"Let this note be dedicated not to
players but to the All-American company
of partisans, the Auburn students, old
grads and their women folk and their
young. They took their big victory with
such good manners that Atlanta feels a
little chagrined at having expected a riot­ous
aftermath.
"For years the gendarmes in our town
have said they dreaded the night after Au­burn
beat Tech to break the long drought.
"Each time Auburn came to town
whooping and yelling 'War Eagle,' the
blue coats have been mobilized at danger
points. The night watch has been called
in for extra duty. It was expected that the
students would wreck things downtown
and the elders would make things hideous
beyond all reasons.
"The constabulary remembered a play­er
riot on the field a few years ago when
spectators joined in and merriment pre­vailed
for a few minutes before the kids
realized how silly they looked and quit
of their own accord.
"This time the biggest Auburn dele­gation
in history, close to 10,000, reached
the peak of their hopes in the dusk of an
October afternoon. They screamed proper­ly
and turned to embrace each other ex­uberantly.
It was a big family party. They
kept to their end of the field. They waited
around while the band played the battle
songs. They sang and jitterbugged and did
all manner of youthful antics.
"They made their way downtown and
everybody enjoyed their singing and
cheering and yelled 'War Eagle' right
back at them. The bluecoats smiled sheep­ishly
and wondered when the rough stuff
would start, but it never developed."
We have showed and can continue to
show the people of Atlanta and Tech just
exactly what the "Auburn Spirit" is. We
can show them that it carries farther than
just a football field—on into our everyday
winning. We can show them that we have
the spirit to carry over a win, as we have
showed that our spirit carries into a loss.
The "Ole Bird" will be there tomorrow
watching and smiling a little to himself,
the knowledge secure within himself that
the students of Auburn will conduct them­selves
as only Auburn students can, win
or lose.
We'll see everyone there tomorrow for
a great ball game, possibly the greatest in
Tiger football history. Lets continue to
demonstrate that intangible thing that has
made Auburn famous throughout the
world—the "Auburn Spirit." War Eagle!
that our forefathers fought and died for.
With the election fast approaching it is
our obligation as citizens to listen with an
unbiased ear to the statements of candi­dates
for public office, to read their plat­forms
and to judicially weigh the merits
of each in considering whom we want to
hold the positions so vital to the future of
the United States.
Let's take advantage of the oppor­tunity
afforded us and do our utmost to
register, judge and vote in the elections
November 6. It cannot be put off. Those
who will not be in their home counties on
election day have to take action right away
toward securing a ballot and voting in
person before the election.
I BELIEVE
Make Your Belief Count
I believe for every drop of rain
that fa}ls,
A flower grows.
I believe that somewhere in the
darkest night,
A candle glows.
I believe for everyone who goes
astray,
Someone will come to show the
way.
Everytime I hear a newborn baby
cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why
I believe.
How often have you heard the
words of this song? Or, how often
have you heard these words and
really thought about their mean­ing?
This song writer so capably
gives us his beliefs and why he
believes.
You may say, "Surely, I believe.
Why, anyone would be blind to
the wonders of nature which sur­round
him if he said that he did
not believe." Now, you believe,
but WHAT do you believe? Do
you really know what YOU be­lieve?
Why do YOU believe it?
How strongly do YOU believe?
It is sometimes good to read
and hear what others believe, but
it should be even more important
to really know yourself. After all,
we shall each be judged on the
WALTER GLENN
merits of our own life and not on
someone else's life.
Now that you know about your
x beliefs, how much are they count­ing
for you and for God? May­be
you have read the poem, "A
Little Pilgrim or Jesus Paid the
Fare" in which the simple words
of faith of a small child had the
effect of leading adults to a be­lieving
knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Of this child it was said, "Out of
the mouths of babes, the Lord is
praised." Think of how your
words, thoughts, actions, and be­liefs
can praise God. Do you
REALLY believe?
What you believe in your re­ligious
life can be compared to
what you believe about Auburn.
If you see someone who says that
the Auburn spirit is, the greatest
in the world and that he believes
in Auburn and its team 100 per­cent;
but then you see him cheer­ing
for Georgia Tech and you be­gin
to doubt the sincerity of his
belief in Auburn. Likewise a per­son
who tells you that he believes
one thing and you see him doing
the opposite."
It is important for each of us
to take stock of our lives and our
beliefs to see just how much they
mean to us and how much they
are counting for God. We need to
ask ourselves, Do I believe? And
how good we feel to be able to
truthfully say, I believe.

We would like to offer our most

Auburn has been discussed quite
thoi-oughly during the past few
years, both privately among stu­dents
and faculty, and publicly in

2nd Student: Well . . . OK.
I'll see what I can do, but don't
count on it. Anyway, we still
have three days. (Student leaves,
walks over to cafeteria line, and
begins to talk to another student).
1st Student: (leans back and
looks at his feet) He ought to do
it . . . I gave him all my lab re­ports.
3rd Student: (Elbows on table,
mumbles something.)
2nd Student: (Returns to table,
sits down and stares at second
second student's feet.)
- 3rd Student: (Looks up) What
happened?
2nd Student: He says he'll do it
. . . wants us to do ten drawing
plates. (Plays with coffee paddle.)
1st Student: (Excitedly) I have
ten drawing plates! Man, we've
got it made!
2nd Student: Yeah. I already
told him anyway. I'd uv done em
myself.
3rd Student: Are you sure it's
the right one? Last time . . .
2nd Student: (Impatiently)
Sure. They don't change em that
often.
1st Student: (Snickers) Yeah.

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor:
This weekend we go to Atlanta
to see one of the greatest gridiron
clashes 'of the football season. Not
only two great football teams will
be involved, but also two great
Institutions and two great stu­dent
bodies. Because of these fac­tors,
naturally the spirit will be
high for this annual Auburn-Tech
football weekend.
With students spirit at a peak,
it is easy for emotions to soar.
However, if everyone will think
before they act these emotions will
become spirit that an Auburn stu­dent
can be proud of. The Auburn
student is representing one of the
finest institutions in the world,
and it is up to him to keep it that
way.
Let War Eagle ring out all over
Atlanta from Friday to Sunday.
Let the Auburn colors fly high.
Yell hard and loud for those Au­burn
Tigers. Be proud, but be a
gentleman.
Yours for a greater Auburn

Dear Editor:
As an interested Auburn coed
I would like to commend this pub­lication
for the excellent article
which appeared in last weeks is­sue
of The Plainsman entitled
"Co-ed Drinking Regulations."
Speaking not only for myself but
for many others I believe that the
drinking rules of the W.S.G.A. are
slightly behind the time. But be­fore
going any further I.wish to
make this statement. I am not
saying that drinking is or is not
It seems as though old man
Autumn is mighty slow about ar­riving
this year. The hot daya are
still dragging out, yet in the early
morning hours, there is a hint of
autumn, for cool, brisk air meets
sharply the breathing apparatus of
the early riser.
The autumn weather is an ideal
time for sportsmen, for in most
states both hunting and fishing
seasons are open. There is, of
course, no closed fishing season in
Alabama, however many states do
have such closed seasons.
The cool autumn weather af­fords
perhaps some of the best
bass fishing of the year. Seasons
on dove, squirrel, rabbit, possum,
coon, and other species of game
open, making, as mentioned be­fore,
an ideal situation for sports­men.
A man may go on a dove
shoot at a water hole, and carry
his fishing gear along to do a little
fishing during the dull lapse of
time before the birds come to wat­er.
A fisherman may carry along
his shotgun to blast a few birds
that might be coming in to water
at the pond at which he is fishing.
There are various ways to, com­bine
the two sports.
Hunting and fishing as sports
are becoming more and more pop­ular
each year and hence are
building 'a field for a great in­dustry.
The manufacture and sale
of hunting and fishing, equipment
constitute one of America's largest
industries. Millions upon millions
of U. S. sportsmen spend millions
upon millions of dollars annually
on hunting and fishing equipment.
The fish bait industry itself is in
the million dollar bracket.
With this "boom" in the in­dustry,
as you might call it, comes
a grave danger. More and more
firearms are being bought and
used by more and more people
than ever before. Shotguns, rifles,
and pistols of all makes and de­scriptions
are being carried into
the fields and woods by people of
just as many makes and descrip­tions.
Some of these people know
how to handle and use a gun prop­erly,
but many do not.
The Sporting Arms and Ammu­nition
Manufacturers Institute
published a booklet some years
back containing in it the Ten
Commandments of Safety in re­gard
to the use of fireams. These
rules are so complete and so life-savingly
practical, I would like to
pass them along to you. Read
them carefully and follow their
advice. The life they save may be
your own.
1. Treat every gun with re­spect
due to a loaded gun.
2. A gun carried into camp
or home or when otherwise not
in use, must always be unload­ed
and taken down or have ac­tions
open.
3. Always be sure barrel
and action are clear of obstruc­tions,
and that you have only
ammunition of the proper size
for the gun you are carrying.
Remove oil and grease from
chamber before firing gun.
4. Always carry any gun so
that you can control the direc­tion
of the muzzle, even if you
stumble; keep the safety on un­til
you are ready to shoot.
5 Be sure of your target be­fore
you pull the trigger; know
the identifying features of the
game you intend to hunt.
G. Never point a gun at any­thing
you do not want to shoot.
7. Unattended guns should
be unloaded; guns and ammu­nition
should be stored separat­ely
beyond reach of children and
careless adults.
8. Never shoot a bullet at a
flat, hard surface, or at the sur­face
of water; when at target
practice, be sure your backstop
is adequate.
9. Never climb a tree or
fence, or jump a ditch with a
loaded gun; never pull a gun to­ward
you by the muzzle.
10. Avoid alcoholic drinks
before or during shooting.
Date and pertinent information
concerning the 1956-1957 hunting
seasons can be secured from most
hardware stores which sell hunt­ing
and fishing licenses. It would
be wise for all who intend to hunt
this fall and winter to pick up
one of these publications giving
dates, bag limits, shooting hours,
and other bits of information con­cerning
Alabama hunting. Be sure
to buy a hunting license and a
duck stamp if you intend to hunt
ducks this year. It may save you
much money and embarrassment
in the long run.
PASSING STREAM
Social-Teas Exposed
Among the older and more
firmly entrenched idiosyncrasies
prevalent in well-bred society is
that quaint and delightful social
fencing match known as the tea.
Teas come in assorted sizes, ex­pense
ranges, and degrees of pain-fulness,
and are held to celebrate
anything from a visiting great-aunt
from Hogbristle, Arkansas,
to the opening of a new Plumbers'
Union Cafeteria. Teas are what
people have when there isn't time
or money for a good brawl, they
don"t particularly like the indiv­idual
whose presence or achieve­ments
make social recognition
necessary, or they have a new
cocktail dress or Duncan Phyfe
sofa. They are becoming so pre­valent
that one can hardly venture
out without stepping on a squashed

that I do not feel that I, or any­one
else, am in a position to judge
for another what is right or wrong
concerning personal morals and
ethics.
The Auburn co-ed is told speci­fically
that she does not' drink;
that drinking is considered a crime
punishable by social probation,
campus or expulsion. For many,
this contradicts the teachings of
their parents. For these and for
others, who condone drinking but
do not personally indulge, this
contradicts what is one of the ba­sic
beliefs of every man, woman
and child in our country today.
That belief is the right of free
choice. If we are in college for the
express purpose of learning to ac-affairs,
with everyone trying like
mad to out-molar everyone else.
There is also a great deal of guest-book
signing, squealing, compli­menting,
tea-spilling, and ash­tray
overturning done. The more
adept tea-givers hide the ash-trays
so members who are stuck with
an uncommunicative guest can
light a cigarette, look around for
an ashtray, excuse herself to go
fetch one, and exit hastily into the
kitchen to take off her shoes, eat
up the extras, and catch up on the
latest guess-who-was-eut-with-who's-
boyfriend-last-night.
Refreshments for teas run the
gamut of liquids frorn<*»ilk punch

old frat insignia.) Whatever is to
be eaten is put on a silver tray, and
can be anything, but is usually
made of bread with something that
looks suspiciously like cold cream,
library paste, and powdered tem­pera,
and tastes, inevitably, like
salmon. It usually has half of an
olive in it. There are also little
cakes, presumably made of cottofi
batting, with a thin veneer of icing

Tea plates are sized accordingly.
Common procedure at one of
these functions is to come in, pass
the screening board, sign the roster
so the members can tell who didn't
come and who, consequently, will
not be invited to the next one,
receive your dole, and sink into a
palpitating sofa for a rousing chat
about the lovely flowers, the lovely
weather, the lovely hat Colonel
so-and-so's lovely wife is wearing,
and the lousy football game the
preceding day. You smoke a ciga­rette
out of a silver box bearing
the old frat insignia, surreptitously
dump the ashes into the philo-1
dendron plant, spill your tea on the
little black taffeta sitting beside
you, smile at the girl with the
purple beads across the room and
wonder if you're supposed to know
her, and finally, stepping over
purses and gloves and sorority
members, you make your exit, dash
into the fresh air outside, and
wander home. Are you grateful
that it's over and you're still in­tact?
Swear you'll never go to
another one?
Uh-uh! Your mind is working
like a steel trap. You'd get even,
or die in the attempt. So, the next
time your group meets, your hand
goes up, and you hear yourself
saying, "Isn't it about time we
started thinking about having a
tea?"
Oh, well. An eye for an eye.
KLEMM'S CLAMOR
March Cadets
The military parade is a wond­rous
pageant to behold. But have
you seen the parade of disorderly
and unorganized ROTC cadets as
they migrate to the drill field
every Tuesday a n d Thursday
afternoon?
Some walk, some ride bikes,
and the rest drive cars. The sub­sequent
traffic jam of a thousand
or more people is impenetrable.
I would think it would be much
more in keeping with military
principles and practices to have
this mass of cadets called into
formation at some such point as
Ross Square and marched in com­pany
formation to the drill field.
The return could be handled simi-liarly.
Also, the roll call and inspection
could be conducted before leaving
Ross Square. By that time most
of the traffic will have subsided.
If Ross Square is unsuitable as
a starting point, there are cer­tainly
suitable side streets around
town which could serve the nec­essary
purpose. This article is
concerned, however, not with the
routing but with the principle.
It is said that marching builds
cept responsibility, think and act
for ourselves and conduct our­selves
in a seemly manner, should
we be stifled by having our re­sponsibilities,
actions and conduct
regulated for us?
As stated in the article men-

pride in the service and augments
its stature. Parading before the
citizenry (even just fellow stu­dents)
adds to the dignity and
morale of the service. The pomp
of the brass band with its drums,
the American flag leading the
way, and the procession of well
drilled soldiers brings out the
esprit de corps in every man,
participant and onlooker.
And since college students tend I
to have Haughty disdain for the
idiosyncrasies of the military, it
might be well to use every device
to instil them the "gung-ho"
spirit.
In addition, the practice of
marching to and from the drill
area is by no means unusual. As
I understand it, a good many
ROTC units at other colleges ac­cept
such marching as standard
procedure.
Personally I feel that marching
to the drill field will do the troop­ers
good. Because even in the
next war, I don't believe they'll
drive cars to the battlefield.
Is the day of the foot soldier
gone? Are fallen arches a thing
of the past? Are we relying so
much on brains that we don't 4
even bother to give the troops a
little extra marching exercise?
We should remember that these
cadets are not going to be just
ordinary soldiers; they are to be­come
leaders. But what I want to
know is how are they to become
leaders if they are hardly taught
the spirit of being a soldier?

time or another, are faced with
social pressure related to drinking.
Why not use this same social pres­sure
here at school to teach those
who are already experimenting
with alcoholic beverages how to
use them?
I am not, however, advocating
open drinking on campus. The
idea is to prohibit drinking on the
Auburn campus and within the
city limits of Auburn. Drinking
outside of this area could be per­mitted
just as long as it is not
carried to an excess.
This rule, if it were approved,
could be established on a tem­porary
basis. Any gross abuse of
the privilege would cause it to go
out of effect immediately. In this
way I feel that those co-eds who
do indulge would be the very ones
who would insure its continued
success. No girl wishes to be an
oulcast for the price of one more
beer. Most girls would rather
"turn in" one who had taken ad­vantage
of a privilege rather than
have it taken away from them all.
I would much rather have my
daughter attend a school where
the drinking rules are reasonable
and in step with the time than at­tend
one which condemns some­thing
neither of us thinl^s is
wrong. In the latter case, should
she wish to drink, she would be
doing herself a far greater wrong
by lying, sneaking and cheating
about it than had she been able to
go about it openly.
In any case, what better place
to be taught how to use the free­dom
of choice and moderation
than right here where protection
is offered instead of learning it
later, the hard way?

Dear Editor:
I know a whole lot of Auburn
women who don't drink. And even
if the ruling was that girls could
drink at API, few would openly
advocate the fact that they do
drink. In reference to Bill
Klemms' article on coed Drinking
Regulations, the following:
He asks, "Why do we pei-sist in
keeping a rule which is no long­er
observed?" I'd like to know
just how many don't observe it?
I'll bet the ones that do observe
this rule far outnumber the ones
that don't. Perhaps it is from fear
of consequence but if so, any do­ing
which would prevent one girl
from indulging is beneficial. It
has been said that if you never
take the first drink you'll never
take the second. . . .
He suggests that we revise the
rules to allow off-campus drink­ing
but to punish those who par­take
excessively. Who, in heavens
name, is to judge what "excessive"
is?
He asks, "After all, which is
truly important, the act or the
excess?" I think the act itself is
more important. As stated above,
"one who never takes the first
drink will never take the second."
He says that women at some
time will drink a little and if they
wait until they get to college they
will not know how to handle their

drinking. He further says that,
"here the girls have some measure
of protection and that at the risk
of losing face with other girls and
dates from over-indulgence • will
tone down their drinking till they
learn to regulate it." Does all this
mean that a girl should know how
to drink before she comes to col­lege
and if she doesn't she should
learn how?
He says that it is true that wom­en
do not need to drink but that
it is pertinent that they do not. I
think it's a mighty pertinent fact
that women do not need to drink.
He says that it would be better
that girls know how to drink be­ing
that many do. I don't think
any young girl should know "how
to drink." Is there, ethically a,
"correct way" for a young college
girl to take a drink?
I don't think the existance of
drinking rules encourage girls to
drink. The Ten Commandments
exist—Find someone who wants
to break them because they exist!
There is an actual case of four
girls, all from the same city.' One
went to a college in Georgia where
drinking is permitted, one went to1
to the University of Alabama
where drinking is permitted and
the other two came to Auburn.
I'll leave it to you to decide which
two still do not drink, and this
little story is true.
He says, "Why should girls not
be allowed to choose freely on
this drinking question?" I thought
that the girls did make these rules,
unless there are boys on the
WSGA. I heard from a very re­liable
source that there is no mass
movement toward abolishment of
these rules anyway.
Auburn has some very high
scholastic and moral standards.
Lets not lower them. Girls, why
not send a copy of Klemm's article
home to your mother. I don't
think many mothers would ap­prove
of his ideas or beliefs, or
suggestions. I wonder just how
many boys are proud of the fact
that his girl can and does take a
drink?

Sober View
Editor: There is one point which
Klemm overlooked in asking that
co-eds be allowed to drink. If the
regulations were changed as he
suggests, the cost of dating an Au­burn
co-ed would rise tremend­ously.
As part of the male pop­ulation
at Auburn which would
have to bear these increased costs,
we reject Mr. Klemm's suggestion.
Let the drinking regulations
remain as they are, and keep our
co-eds sober. This plan will trend
to keep the prohibitive price of
dating within range of more than
th,e moneyed few.

Klemm Hit Again
Dear Editor:
feill Klemm's profound discourse
on "Coed Drinking Regulations"
in the Oct. 12 issue of The Plains­man
brings to my strictly fem­inine
mind a few thoughts of
commendation.
In his effort to show the Au­burn
coeds the childish bonds of
the drinking regulations, Mr.
Klemm states: "One point to re­member
is that this is a univer­sity
of eight and a half thousand
students, not a finishing school."
As he indicates that numbers
permit a change in morals, I can
hardly wait until the student body
grows to twenty thousand stu­dents—
maybe by then we'll be
able to commit a slight degree of
murder if it's the prevailing prac­tice.
Another thought he brings out
is: "Furthermore, why should the
university be responsible for its
students? That belongs to the par­ents
and their children. In fact,
it is this attempt by institutions
in general to shoulder responsi­bilities
which rightfully are that of
parents which many authorities
claim as the basic cause of de-linquincy."
I'm so sorry Bill, started this
crusade after I reached the age of
twenty-one. Because of his state­ment
"drinking is a parents re­sponsibility"—
look at the fun I
could have had from the age of
eighteen when I left home for col­lege
and the present age of ma­turity.
Also I'm interested in his pro­posal
that bookkeeping be insti­tuted
to keep up with the number
of drinks girls partake while in
college. So that excess drinking
will not occur, maybe there can
be a course offered (with suffi­cient
credits, naturally) to enable
each girl—depending on her emo­tional
characteristics—to know the
amount of liquid volume—chemi­cally
speaking—that can be taken
at regular intervals—mathemati­cal
equations properly adhered to)
so that'she will have the advant­age
of proper (?) social manners
and still never be involved in a
so-called masculine habit or any
encroachment on her usual moral
leadership.
I am also intrigued by his state­ment
that: "The existence of
drinking rules encourage girls to
drink just because they shouldn't."
Perhaps my grades would have
been better had my professors of
my freshman year advised me not
to study.
Note also Mr. Klemm's state­ment
that: "Rules only succeed in
making sneaks and liars out of
our young ladies."
I should like to see his work of
reference' concerning this ac­knowledgement.

Chi Epsilon key in the vicinity
of Wilmore Laboratories. If
found please turn in at Union
Building desk.
In his last paragraph he states
that we should decide for our­selves
as coeds what to do about
this ill-advised regulation. I can
see his point of view and see how
it would develop feminine per­sonality,
but, please—until- fur­ther
recommendation is given by
a number'of other students at Au-bm-
n—lets keep the rule as it is.
Some of Bill Klemm's view­points
do bring up the thought:
are students who do not share his
feelings in the wrong age or the
wrong college?
His thinking is fairly clear but
I am also influenced by another
article recently read which stated
three- questions we can ask our­selves
about many decisions we
have to make:
" 1 . Where will it lead me?
2. Will it make me my best
self?
3. What would the person I
most admire do if he were in my
place?"

Plainsman Managing Editor
With a morale-building victory now under their belts Coach
"Snug" Jordan's sophomore-studded squad faces an "everything to
gain, nothing to lose situation" this Saturday. Hardly anyone will
think badly of the Villiagers if they drop a fairly close game to
Georgia Tech, while a triumph over the Jackets in any form or fa­shion
would put Tiger prestige back on its 1955 level.
The Kentucky game was a "must," a fact which Coach Jor­dan
had pointed out several times; without a win at this time,
there was no doubt that team spirits and fan spirits would fall.
Consequently, the Tigers had to come through, and they did, 13-0.
Line play was the key to this one. Kentucky was rated as a
very strong team tackle-to-tackle, but the Tigers actually turned out
to be tougher there. Auburnite Paul Terry pushed Kentucky's Ail-
American tackle, Lou Michaels, all over the field, while the entire
forward wall frequently opened gaping holes for the Tigers' speedy
backs to scamper through.
Already being compared with Charlie Trlppi, Georgia's triple-threat
All-American of the late '40's, Tommy Lorino added more
length to his favorable press clippings as he ripped off thei largest
Individual chunk of yardage against the Wildcats.
Tomorrow the going will be harder, and even the most opti­mistic
War Eagler couldn't expect more than a tight tilt in Grant
Field. Yet there is some hope—the team will definitely be up for
Tech and probably wouldn't mind forfeiting the remainder of the
schedule if the repeat their wrecking excursion of 1955.
"Tech's Tough, But We're Ready," Say Tigers
» • • And Georg
Wendell
Plainsman Sports Editor
With the cry of "14-12" still ringing in their ears the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets will take the field tomorrow grimly determined
to avenge the licking given them by the Plainsmen last year. The
Tigers on the other hand, will be really trying to Wreck Tech, as
Bobby Dodd's boys are the No. 3 team in the nation and a defeat
could be fatal in their quest for national honors.
Although Auburn is not nationally ranked, a victory would re­store
the confidence and spirit to finish the remainder of their sched­ule
undefeated.
But this year's Jordan-coached crew will be playing minus
the services of five key cogs in last year's winning combine. One
of these, Joe Childress, was the difference between victory and
defeat as he booted the extra points which,*n the end proved the
deciding factor. The others, Fob James, M. L. Brackett, Frank
D'Agostino and Bob Scarbrough, also had a hand at breaking the
14 year losing streak for Auburn.
This year the Tigers are younger and inexperienced. Tommy
Lorino and Lloyd Nix, both sophomores, will probably start in the
backfield while the line will be composed of a more experienced
crew.
In reference to the series the Ramblin' Wrecks from Georgia
Tech lead with 30 victories compared to 25 losses and three ties. The
^first Auburn-Tech game was played in 1892 with the Tigers emerg­ing
a 26-0 victor. Then in 1894 Auburn ran up the highest score in
. the series, slaughtering Tech 94-0. This also represents the highest
score ever made against a Georgia Tech team.
In 1917 the Engineers did some goal crossing of their own,
winning 68-7. The largest Plainsman point production in anything
like recent history was 33-7, but just three years ago the Atlanta
aggregation rolled up a 36-6 margin.
, THE GRANT FIELD VIEWPOINT
BY HAL REEVES
Sports Editor, Georgia Tech Technique
This Saturday, Auburn and Tech will meet in Grant Field to
continue one of the oldest football rivalries in the SEC. In this series,
which'started back in 1892, the War Eagles have won a total of 25
games as compared with 30 victories for the Jackets. The teams have
tied three times—a relatively few number of times considering the
close rivalry;
Last year, Auburn broke a "Jinx String" of defeats at Grant
Field in beating the Jackets 14-12 in one of the tightest games of
the season for either team. In defeating Tech, Auburn broke a long
string of 13 defeats at the hands of the Jackets.
"At last the Grant Field jinx has been broken," cried a jubilant
Auburn fan," now maybe the War Eagles will be able to beat Tech
on Grant Field." At least the tension is broken, and the game will go
back to its original "close rivalry." In the past there has been ill
will between the two schools for the simple reason that Tech had
won so many times. Now, this ill will is gone, gone with Auburn's de­cisive
win last year. This years' game will probably be just as tight as
last year's. It is hoped that the demonstrations that were put on by
some unwarranted Tech students or Auburn students will be curbed
this year—forgotten just as Auburn has now forgotten that they were
trying to break a 13-game losing streak at Grant Field.
I'm ready for one of the best games I'll see all season. Since I'm
a Jacket I'll pick the Engineers to squak by Auburn this weekend.
I'll be looking for some great football from both teams and know that
I won't be disappointed.

Make Comments
On 'Big Game'
"If Auburn could win only one
game this season, which game
would you want to win?" Asked
this question, almost every mem­ber
of the Tiger team had the
same answer—Georgia Tech.
Saturday the Tigers may poss­ibly
have a chance to prove this
statement since, they meet the
Yellow Jackets on Grant Field in
Atlanta then. Last year Tech
was favored, but Auburn won 14-
12; this year the Tigers are rated
as even more of an underdog.
But the fact that the War Eag-lers
are not so well thought of
may give them an advantage, for
as fullback Jim Walsh pointed out,
"We'll definitely be 'up' for this
one, especially since Tech's so
high in the national polls and we
aren't this year."
"We'd certainly like to knock
them off," added end and captain
Jerry, Elliott. "There's a big
rivalry between us, and we really
want to win."
"A victory over Tech means so
much for team spirit," continued
guard Chuck Maxime. "Last year's
game certainly did a lot for
morale."
Tackle Paul Terry agreed, "It
was a great feeling and with a
rivalry like ours, 'we certainly
want to beat them more than
once."
Although Tech unleased a dev­astating
aerial attack against
LSU last week, the team seemed
to feel that the upcoming game
would be decided in the line.
"That's where the difference
will be," said Terry, "and I
think we can stop them."
Elliott echoed Terry. "To stop
Tech, we'll have to stop their
running game, and I believe
everyone will be playing their
best to do just that."
"With two of the best guards in
the conference and a couple of
tackles who've shown well too,
we could do it," stated Walsh.
"Kentucky had big line men,"
added halfback Tommy Lorino,
"theirs seemed to be the biggest
in the conference and we moved
them. We ought to be able to do
the same with Tech."
The consensus of opinion also
seemed to be that'Tech would be
tougher this year than last. "I be­lieve
they may be as much as
20 per cent better," said Maxime.
"They've got most of the '55 squad
back and that gives them plenty
of experience."
Terry and Elliott seemed to
think the same. "They should be
improved and' experience is the
reason."
With a mixed team of veterans
a n d relatively inexperienced
sophs, there was surprisingly lit­tle
difference in attitude among
the Tigers about facing such an
awesome foe.
"We'll all have to play our best
to win, and I know the team will
play their hardest against Tech,"
said Walsh.
"Yes, the team knows this is a
real challenge, that they have to
be 'up' and I know they will be,"
said Elliott.
"It was a great feeling to win
last year," hie continued," 'and I
want to feel that way again."
"Just to be on the field with
such a, great team makes me feel

quarter a field goal attempt from
the 20 by Tubbs failed and an­other
attempt gained by a Ken­tucky
fumble on the twenty-five
also failed.
Outside of five first downs for
each, the Tigers held all the sta­tistics
for the first half with 138
yards on the ground to 89, 47 in
the air to 0, and a less desirable
44 yards in penalties which took
the threat off Kentuckys goal
several times. The first four
passes and a later success made
a total of five complete out of
nine attempts by the Tigers.
With only two minutes playing
time remaining in the' fourth
quarter, the Wildcats gambled on
passes for the first time and
fumbled on their own twenty.
Senior Frank Reeves recovered
and Lorino sped for six yards,
Jim Walsh made seven, Tubbs
five and Lorino took tha remain­ing
two for the score. Tubbs
missed the PAT for a total of
three misses caused by a knee in­jury.
Texas A&M Finds
Houston Cougars
Are No 'Breather'
The Houston Cougars, who will
be Auburn's opponent for the
next home game, Oct. 27, scored
a surprising 14-14 tie with the
nationally ranked Texas Aggies
last week and firmly established
themselves as one of the South-west's
strongest elevens.
The Aggies, rated 9lh in the
nation and the favored team for
the Southwest Conference crown,
found the Cougars, inspired by a
record-b r e a k i n g homecoming
crowd of 66,000, more than they
could handle.
In previous outings this sea­son,
Houston trounced Mississippi-
State 18-7 and held powerful
Mississippi to a respectable 14-0
score.
Cross Country Crew
May Take Crown
Again This Year
Cross country running blossomed
forth for Auburn during the 1955
season as the long winded Tigers
loped off with a tie for the Sfcuth-eastern
Conference championship.
Chances of winning the SEC
championship look good as six of
the seven leltermen return bring­ing
with them experience and
proven ability. The returning
leltermen are as follows: Ellsworth
Richter, senior; O.H. Westley, sen­ior;
Glen Drummond, senior; Vic
Talberl, junior; Don Hannah, jun­ior;
and Bobby Deas, junior. The
sophomore additions to the team
are Mavern Parker and Jimmy
Sloan. Both boys are experienced
in track and are expected to b e a ,
big help to the team.
Most observers seem to feel that
the team should be stronger than
last year's, even after the loss of
veteran Dave Powell. The strong-

Intramural Gridders Open Season;
Dorm, Frat, Church Leagues Play
By Bob Black >
Intramural Sports Editor
When the dust settled on the greensward of Morris Field
after the first week of intramural play, football interest in the
impending Georgia Tech varsity game is rated only slightly
higher than some of the intramural battles.
Two of last year's' winners in '
the fraternity leagues remained
unbeaten. Playing an easy opener
against TKE, the ATO power­house
made a strong bid to r e ­tain
the campus crown, romping
over the Teks, 39-0. Leading the
ATO's were backs Johnny Den-son
and D. Cauthon. Dividing the
passing chores between them­selves,
both men scored 2 touch­downs.
W. Morris chalked up 7
points, one TD and one extra
point. Other scoring honors went
to Biggs, one TD. N. Prosch and
D. Fay had one extra point
apiece.
The Sigma Nu grid machine
rolled over Theta Xi to keep its
perch atop League 4. The Sigma
Nu's, last year's League 4 champs
romped over TX 20-6. Gunnels
took scoring honors with three
touchdowns and an extra point.
Foley scored the lone TD for TX.
Delta Chi Wins
The hottest team of the week
is Delta Chi, known from last
year as the basketball team that
folded in the tournament this
crew has wrecked League 2 in the
first week of play. Tuesday Delta
Chi put down an AGR uprising,
14-6. Ginn and Smith were re­sponsible
for the. winners TD's.
Allverson scored for AGR in the
hotly contested game.

blood in their eyes DC took on
Sigma Chi for their second game
of the week. The last time the
Sig footballers tasted defeat was
losing the championship to ATO.
Unawed by records Delta Chi held
the Sigs to a 7-7 deadlock. The
sudden death rule went into ef­fect.
Advancing the ball 15 yards
to SC 10 yards, Delta Chi emerg­ed
the victor. Scoring for DC was
Ginn, one TD and Chiles one ex­tra
point. Crowe was credited with
the Sigma Chi TD, Lyle got the
extra point.
In case the sudden death rule
is not familiar, here it is. There
are no ties in intramural football.
If the score is tied at the end of
the game the ball is placed at
midfield. Each team runs four
downs. The team with the largest
number of yards j is the winner.
Lambda Chi Squeaks By
Back to the results. In the same
league LCA defeated DSP via the
sudden death route. Playing to a
12-12 tie, the Lambda Chis rolled
up a total of 41 yards in the al-loted
four downs. DSP could
muster only 21' yards. Bludsworth
and Bridges tallied for LCA. Wal­lace
and Pruitt scored the DSP
TD's.
In league 3 the PKA machine
that went down swinging in last
year's play-offs, began a winning
season at the expense of the third
ranked Theta Chis, 7-0.
Kappa Alpha, with field gener­al
McCorrey directing the attack
defeated Alpha Psi, 13-0. Phi
Kappa Tau capitalized on Gay's
lone score to trounce Sigma Pi,
6-0.
Phi Delta Theta squeaked' by
PKP, 7-66. SAE downed Kappa
Sigs, 7-6 on a Gruder to Pancho
aerial. Turner- kicked the extra
point. OTS beat TKE 8-0. Embry
was responsible for 6 points,
Bingham got 2.
Easy One for SPE
SPE was awarded a forfeit
over DTD.
Only one game took place in
the Church Leagues. 1955 cham­pion,
Newman, beat Wesley, 12-0.
Turbyville and Luthance racked
up 6 points each.
On the Independent scene one of
the few teams playing under last
year's name, Auburn Hall, moved
to a 12-0 win oyer C&C Dorm.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Howell Tubbs
There's an old saying in football—and in any sport—that the
"old pro" will always rise to the.occasion when the going is at its
roughest and the odds at their highest. Howell Tubbs once again
proved the adage true last Saturday night as he led the spirited
Auburn Tigers to a 13-0 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats.
Gaining the starting nod against the tough Kentuckians when
regular quarterback Jimmy Cook suffered a leg injury earlier in the
week, Tubbs completed four of eight passes for 32 yards and one
touchdown, and ground out 46 yards on 12 running plays. After the
game, "Shug" Jordan, wisely refusing to single out any one player
in such, a team effort, said "Tubbs
called and played a courageous
game." •'.
What few people in the stands
knew as they watched the senior
field general direct his forces in
all but 42 seconds of action was
that Tubbs himself was suffering
from a painful knee injury.
Howell ruptured a blood ves­sel
behind his right knee while
kicRing • extra points during the
Tigers' final tuneup at Auburn
City Park the previous Thursday
night. Nearly a pint of blood was
drawn from the knee the follow­ing
morning • as the Plainsmen
prepared to leave for Lexington.
Tubbs would be the last to
suggest such a thing, but the r e ­sulting
weak kicking knee might
be an explanation for the three
field goal attempts which he miss­ed
against Kentucky.
Clutch performances are no
new experience for Tubbs. He
was the man of the hour in last
year's stunning 14-12 upset of
Georgia Tech as he unleashed a brilliant passing attack against the
surprised Yellow Jackets.
When the 1956 season rolled around, Howell found himself out of
the starting job at quarterback as a result of the sparkling play of
junior Jimmy Cook . . . But now—just like the stereotyped veteran
baseball player who starts slow and finishes fast—Auburn's "old
pro" may be the man who can pick his teammates up by the boot­straps
and lead them to another winning campaign.

George Lincoln asks:
What do
metallurgists
do in a
chemical
company?
CHARLES I. SMITH, JR., received his B.S. Ch.E.
from V.P.I, in 1943, served in the Navy as an
engineer officer, and joined Du Pont's Engineer­ing
Department in 1946. Since then, he has ad­vanced
steadily through a number of interesting
assignments at various Du Pont plants. He was
recently promoted to manager of the Technical
Section of Du Pont's Pigments Department.

GEORGE M. LINCOLN, JR., expects to receive his B.S. in met­allurgical
engineering from Lehigh University in 1957. George was
vice president of his junior class, is active in sports, and a partici­pant
in many other campus activities. He's starting his employ­ment
investigations early, for he feels that the selection of an
employer is one of the most important decisions in a man's career.
Charlie Smith answers:
They have an almost endless variety of interesting
problems to face, George. As a student of metallurgy,
you know that about two-thirds of all known chemical
elements are metals. Many of them are revealing valu­able
new applications, when highly purified on a com­mercial
scale. Du Pont is greatly interested in several
metallic and semi-metallic elements.
My own experience at Du Pont ranges from work
on titanium pigments, to metallic titanium production,
and to the ultra-pure silicon used in transistors. You
can appreciate some of our metallurgical problems when
I point out that impurities in transistor silicon have to
be below one part in 100 million. That's equivalent to
one pound of impurities distributed through a train of
ore cars twenty miles long!
Some of our metallurgists carry out fundamental
research on new metals, and, in the development stage,
they frequently operate pilot plants for producing them.
Other metallurgists study problems relating to engi­neering
materials used in construction, carry out re­search
on intergranular corrosion, or investigate fatigue
relationships encountered in dynamic, high-pressure
operations.
You'll find many challenging opportunities in every
phase of metallurgy at Du Pont, George.

Believing that the future of aviation lay with larger
aircraft, higher speeds and greater ranges, the found­ers
of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft established an iron­clad
policy demanding constant striving to develop
aircraft engines that would continually surpass pre­vious
accomplishments. The intervening restless years
at P & W A have been filled with continuing progress
which proved the wisdom of that early decision.
Brand new areas of technology were explored; rec­ognition
as undisputed leader in its field' was at­tained;
expansion to accommodate the growth of
the company resulted in a nationwide network of
auxiliary facilities.
Florida — long America's year 'round playground
— is now providing ground for the continued expan­sion
of America's foremost aircraft engine builder.
World's foremost designer and bzdlder of aircraft engines
Ideally located iri Palm Beach County, P & W A's
newest facility will be an important engineering
auxiliary to the main laboratories and plants in
Connecticut. Major factors in selecting the site were
the mild climate and sufficient isolation to permit
development and test of highly advanced and ex­tremely
powerful jet engines with minimum acous­tical
disturbance to the surrounding resort com­munities.
The engineering graduate who begins his career
at this Florida facility will have the rare opportunity
