•mounting and parties working
boisterously at the polls "the larg*
est turnout in Auburn's history

This was Jerry Godard of
Coral Gables, Fla., who will hold
the position of Plainsman busi­ness
manager next year.

Players' New Production, 'White Sheep/
Opens In Theater For Nine Day Run
The Auburn Players' spring
p r o d u c t i o n "The White Sheep
' of the Family" opened last
Wednesday night in the Play­e
r ' s Theatre for a ninne-day
r u n .
"The White Sheep of the Fam­ily"
is a comedy about a respect­able
English family who reveal
their real identities as crooks.
The son, Peter, is a disgrace to
the family because he wants to
follow the straight and narrow
path of respectibility, but his
family tries to persuade him to
remain on the crooked path. The
plot of this play is like the moral
of "The Looking Glass." Every­thing
is backward.
Cast in the play are Judy
Nickelson — Mrs. Winter; Bill
Bundy—James Winter; Fay Hol­lingsworth—
daughter; Bill Ma­son—
son Peter; Marolin Sugg-maid,
Janet; Wayne Lacy—Vic-ker;
Don Kullioan—Commissioner
Preston, and Madge Richardson—
Angelia.
Dates for performances are to­night
and April 16-20. On these
dates the play will open at 8:30
p. m. There will be two perform­ances
on tomorrow for the bene­fit
of those visiting the campus
for Village Fair weekend. The
first performance will be at 2:30
p. in. and the second at 3:30 p. m.
Glom Sets Record
In Advertising Sales
An all-time high in advertis­ing
has been set this year by
the 1957 GLOMERATA with -sales
of $3,905 worth of space in the
book, according to John Hamil­ton,
advertising manager of the
yearbook. This is $155 higher
than last year's total of $3,750.
Hamilton stated that the new
peak was due to a practice adopt­ed
this year of setting up a sec­tion
for companies interviewing
Auburn graduates among adver­tisements
in the book. He added
that such advertisers would prove
even more productive in the fu­ture.
Members of the Glom advertis­ing
staff are Marilyn Montwill,
Birmingham; Allen Gordy, Col­umbus,
Ga.; Scott Vowell, ^Au­burn,
and Walter Glenn, Bir­mingham.

Auburn Steps Forward In Atom Field
With Nuclear Study Now Available
Tied in with a new degree,
Master of Science in Nuclear
Science, Auburn hopes soon to
finish construction of a sub-critical
atomic reactor. The re­actor
also fulfills the regula­tion
of the atomic energy
commission, admitting API as
one of the 20 schools in the
nation approved for instruc­tion
in atomic energy and
qualified to teach students on,
AEC fellowships.
Plans for the new reactors
were begun around the first of
June last year when Dr. Howard
Carr, head of the physics de­partment
here, and Prof. Walter
Connolly journeyed to New York
City to study a sub-critical re­actor
built by Dr. Lyles Borst of
New York University. They had
been appropriated $3000 by the
Auburn Alumni Association and
needed to find a way to stretch
that amount into a completed re­actor.
After studying the design
of Dr. Borst, they were further
interested, so they made an ap­pointment
with the Atomic Ener­gy
Commission.
The commission and the col­lege
drew up a contract where­by
the AEC agreed to loan 5,500
pounds of natural uranium and
a neutron source, radium-beryl­lium.
The contract was for a
three year term subject to re­newal.
Next on the agenda was a tank
in which the reaction would take
place. Mr. Springer, vice-presi­dent
in charge of research at
Graves Tank Manufacturing Co.
in East Chicago, Indiana, a per­sonal
friend of Dr. Carr, put an
end to that headache. His com­pany
did the fabrication of
the aluminum that had been do­nated
to the school by the Alumi­num
Company of America.
The only part of the reactor
that had to be paid for out of the
original $3,000 was the fabrica­tion
by the AEC of the neutron
source, at a cost of approximate­ly
$1,000.
The putting together of the re­actor
will begin- as the parts ar­rive
and is scheduled to be com­pleted
in about a month. The

API Greek Social Life
Includes All Seasons
By Juna Fincher
Plainsman Society Editor
Village Fair visitors no
doubt wonder what college
fraternity., and sorority life is
like. Here at Auburn the
Greeks find themselves en­gaged
in a great nurrtber of
activities t h e y e a r round.
In the fall we start the year
with rush parties. The girls gen­erally
have sorority rush the
week before school and finish as
school begins, while the boys
start their rush at this time and
usually ask the sororities and
their new pledges over for some
of the parties. This first part of
college life can be one of the
most exciting and yet hectic of
the new student's many ventures.
He is in a constant spin but al­ways
meeting new people and
being with them at various par­ties.

"Wtiat's it like to be
A SYSTEMS ANALYST AT IBM?"
Two years ago, college senior Thomas Wheeler asked himself this ques­tion.
Today, a Systems Analyst in IBM's Data Processing Division, Tom
reviews his experience and gives some pointers that may be helpful to
you in taking the first, most important step in your business career.
"What I probably like most about
this job," says Tom, "is that you're
never tied down to one desk and the
same routine. There's always a- new
problem . . . a new approach needed
. . . . new people to meet and work with."
But first, what does a Systems
Analyst do? "Briefly, we study a cus­tomer's
present system—payroll, in­ventory
control, billing or whatever
—and convert it to a mechanized sys­tem
using either conventional IBM
I business machines or IBM's high-
[ speed electronic computers."
Tom works out of t he IBM Balti-
I more Office with some of America's
fined by Tom as "converting the flow
of instructions and information into
the most efficient operation for an
IBM magnetic drum computer. Bell-wood,"
Tom points out, "is the I n ­v
e n t o r y C o n t r o l C e n t e r for a l l
Why Tom chose IBM
How does a senior like Tom, who was
interviewed by a t least twenty com­panies
while in college, select his
future employer? "In my case," Tom
says, "the choice was easy. IBM
offered the best opportunities. I knew
IBM sales were about doubling every
five years—and when I considered
the tremendous growth potential of
the electronic computer field—I had
no trouble making up my mind.
"Besides, I was impressed by the
caliber of IBM personnel. They had
a broader outlook and an approach to
Studying cuilemar's pratanf system
biggest companies as his customers.
Graduated from Johns Hopkins in
August, '55, with a B.S.I.E., he came
immediately to IBM. During his train­ing
period, Tom s t u d i e d IBM's
Punched Card and Electronic Data
Processing Machines. He learned their
uses, their applications, and was in­structed
in the theories and methods
of data processing.
Diversified Assignments
A leading aircraft company was Tom's
first major assignment. "My job
there," he explains, "was to analyze
the application of IBM's latest elec­tronic
computer—the 70C-to regu­late
the flow of materials and machines
used to fill Government contracts."
Then came a short, but highly sat­isfying
assignment. At the Bellwood
v Quartermaster Corps, Tom set up a
"SOAP" -system (System for Opti­mum
Automatic Programming) ^le-
A problem in inventory control
Quartermaster centers in the country.
The new system will achieve balanced
s u p p l y and d e m a n d of m a t e r i al
throughout the entire U. S.—will save
money for the Government—and re­lieve
many men from the "drudgery
of details."
For the past six months, Tom has
been working with the Statistical
Services Division of Headquarters
Air Research & Development Com-r

'Fair' Has Short History,
Begins As Open House
By Jim Crumbley
On each campus there are
many organizations that add
to the life of the college stu­dent.
Each of these organiza­tions
has quite a history, but
to have a history an organiza­tion
must have a beginning.
And beginning on the API
Campus five years ago this
spring was the idea of Village
Fair, then called Open House.
Prior to 1A52 many individual
schools within the college had
held Open House, but often on
different . dates, These affairs
could all be termed successful,
but organization to the extent of
combining all these affairs into
one big event had never been
suggested.
Finally, in 1952, someone sub­mitted
the idea of combining
these events into one big week­end;
so with this idea in mind
committees were named to plan
and to carry out these programs.
With hundreds expected for
the weekend of April 18th and
19th Auburnites began planning
,and preparing for an Open House
that was to entertain 1,500 visi- I
tors "to the Plains and was to
stage the biggest array of spec­tacular
ever to be held on the
Auburn Campus prior to that
time.
Among the highlights for the
first big weekend was a horse
show sponsored by Block and
Bridle and offering $843 in prizes;
a "Symphony" presented by the
Dolphin Club and a three-act
comedy presented by the Auburn
Players.
Mingled in with the tours and
exhibits was a parade complete
with floats, ROTC Units of the
Army, Navy, and Air Force and
of course a band. For the sports
minded there was a baseball
game as well as tennis being of­fered.
Climaxing Open House for that
weekend was a program In Cliff
Hare Stadium featuring the
greater Auburn Band, the Men's
Glee Club, the Gymnastic and
Wrestling Teams and the winners
of a Skit Night Competition held
just prior to Open House.
This was topped by a dance in
the Student Activities Building
and Auburn's first Village Fair
CONSIDER
THE
OUTWARD SIGN
of an Inner Grace!
<Don't be afraid of that strange sounding phrase.
It's just an abbreviation of the definition of a sacra*
meat. The Episcopal Church is a sacramental Church.
i I- It believes that there are certain definite Christian acts:
termed sacraments which are the outward signs of an
l . f • - i
inward and spiritual grace.
^ TwcT of them, Baptism and Holy Communion, wt
believe, were definitely ordained-by our Lord. Bap­tism
is almost universally accepted among Christians
as the first step in the Christian's life.
Holy Communion is another story. To most Protes­tants
the Communion Service is a memorial service
—a memorial of the Last Supper. To lis, it is a
sacrament. In it the consecrated bread and wine
signify for us the body and blood of Christ And
when we partake of the Holy Communion, we receive
Christ.

die Church can help you. Visit the Episcopal Church

Chem Engineering
Village Fair Exhibit
Features Moonshine
Wonders of atomic energy
and a moonshine still in ope­ration
are featured in the
Chemical Engineering De­partments
exhibit for Village
Fair this year. Located in
Willmore Laboratories, the
exhibit depicts all phases of
the chemical industry includ­ing
new fields still in the re­search
stage.
Research to reality is the mot­to
of the chemical engineer and
a wide variety of working models
and equipment in operation dem­onstrate
this.
Homogenous and non-homoge­nous
reactors are shown in the
display along with panels describ­ing
the evolution of atomic ener­gy
from Einstein's equation to
modern electric power plants
driven by atomic reactors. A com­plete
model of a working plant
producing electrical energy from
nuclear energy is on display.
Inaddition a thirty-minute film
depicting development of the atom
in the chemical industry is
scheduled.. Showings will be to­day
at 2:30 p.m. and tomorrow
morning at 9.
A cutaway model of the Navy's
new atomic submarine, USS Nau­tilus,
is also on display in the de­partment.
How is moonshine whiskey
made: This question will be an­swered
by the demonstration of
a pot still in the department unit
operations laboratory. Seventy
proof alcohol will be the product.

and become' an active mem­ber.
A Phi O
Alpha Phi Omega, national
service fraternity for former boy
scouts, sponsors quarterly a non­profit
book exchange. The pur­pose
of this book exchange is to
provide an economical method
for Auburn students to purchase
and to sell their books.
Circle K
Circle K, a campus service or­ganization,
arranged this past
year a fund-raising project. to
aid in the All Campus Fund
Drive. For ten cents, an Auburn
male could register for a date
with Miss Homecoming. The win­ner
got the date and the pro­ceeds
went to the All-Campus
Fund. Both Circle K and A4pha
Phi Omega, service organization,
worked together to obtain a new
voting booth. This booth now
stands in front of the main gate.
Auburn .Veterans
Auburn Veterans' Association,
concerned with conditions in Ko­rea,
learned that, books were
needed for Korean libraries. This
organization immediately set to
work rounding up books from
Auburn students and sent them
off to Korea.
Aquila
Aquila, social and service or­ganization
for independent wo­men,
wa's formed in 1952 for Au­burn
women not associated with
a sorority. Aquila annually pre­sents
a $25 savings bond to a
graduating senior girl outstand­ing
in leadership, character and
scholarship.
Radio Club
The Radio Club offers an op­portunity
for everyone interested
in radio. These "hams" provide
a free radiogram service to be
used by everyone who fills out
and deposits the message blanks
in the special deposit boxes. The
members of this club are ama­teur
radio operators with a use­ful
hobby. The club also holds
code and theory classes every
Thursday night to help those in­terested
obtain their license.
Forestry Club
The Forestry club, organized
for students in forestry, sponsors
an annual Woodchoppers Ball.
Auburn males grow beards for
two months. At the ball a prize
is awarded for the best beard.
Last year the prize was an elec­tric
razor.
Auburn Players
Here on Auburn's c a m p us
there are many students with
dramatic talent. They all work
together to present such plays as
Mary Chases' "Harvey," Joseph
Field's "My Sister Eileen," and
William Shakespeare's "Twelfth
Night." The performances are
such that some of the plays go
on the road. The students who
participate in such activities are
banded together in The Auburn
Players, an organization of stu­dents
interested in dramatics.
Theatre Dancers
Auburn's youngest organiza­tion,
the Theatre Dancers, is open
to all students interested in the
dance—be it bop, jitterbug, Lat­in
American dances, or the bal­let.
They recently put on a show
that was called back for a repeat
performance by popular demand.
Debate Council
Have you ever taken part in
a debate? Some students on cam­pus
not bnly have taken an in­terest
but have also organized
the Auburn Debate Council for
intercollegiate debators and all
students interested in debating.
Recently the Combined British
Universities Debate Team chal­lenged
and engaged the Auburn
Debate Council in an exhibition
debate.
These and many other Auburn
organizations offer every one of
you an opportunity to express
your interests. Make plans now
to take advantage of them dur­ing
your college life on the
Plains.

Auburn Has Inner Spirit
A school that has been in existance for
any length of time develops a certain
amount of tradition though its history and
Auburn is no exception. It is an exception,
however, in the spirit that has grown to
be synonymous with the name, Auburn.
No matter where one may travel in the
world he will always find someone in the
area who will answer a cry of "War Eagle."
It has been reported from Europe, the
Far East, Africa, and South America that
upon yelling this battle cry of Auburn
answers have been heard, and, in some
cases, strong friendships have developed.
A friend of ours stated that, in 1944 on
a small island in the Pacific, during a lull
in the battle with the Japanese one soldier
could contain himself no longer and let
out the well known cry. It was like a chain
reaction—War Eagles rang out all along
the front. A mass charge shortly afterward
gave an unquestionable victory to the GI's.
There is a tie that binds all Auburn men
and women together even though they
may not know each other. This great spirit
has existed for a great many years and
will continue to exist so long as Auburn
remains the type of place that it is.
Outsiders always think of Auburn's
spirit in terms of behavior at athletic
events. This follows from the fact that
outward demonstrations of spirit general­ly
take place in connection with the sports
program.
We noted in a recent column in the Long
Beach State College newspaper where a
man questioned the connection between
sports and spirit. He stated that he would
like to stand in the middle of the campus
and "lead a few yells for the Philosophy
department."
Although this example is somewhat of
an exageration, nevertheless it exemplifies
true spirit in a school. Visitors here this
weekend will no doubt notice the friendli­ness
that prevails all over the campus,
even among strangers. The fact that every­one
speaks is an indication of this inner
spirit.
New freshmen coming to school here
are expected to take up this feeling of
spirit in Auburn. A number of traditions
which every freshman lives up to have
developed here as in other schools. The
difference is that here the man is expected
to take on the responsibility of living up
to these traditions himself and not at the
command of an upperclassman.
Some of these traditions include the
wearing of the rat cap, walking around
the main gate, never through it, partici­pation
in the pajama parade preceeding the
Georgia Tech football game in the fall and
attending all pep rallies and pep dances.
Other traditions which will carry through­out
a person's college years are courtesy,
honesty, participation in campus activi­ties,
respect for God, country and school.
In the near future perhaps a new tra­dition
will have arisen. A number of stu­dents
on the campus are interested in ob-
"taining a mascot for the school. At one
time an eagle was kept here, back in the
'30's, and such a time may come again.
This remains to be seen.
At any rate students who plan to come
to school here this year or later on have
a great many things in store for them, but
the greatest of these is the feeling of pride
that they will develop in their Alma Ma­ter,
Auburn.
School Outgrows Name
Alabama Polytechnic Institute — What
' do those three words mean to us, individ-
; ually and collectively? What would they
"mean if we were born and raised any­where
but in Alabama or one of the few
bordering states? The question answers
itself, but to go further, why should we,
the students and faculty of this fast-grow­ing,
university-size institution, be auto-i
matically placed in a subordinate pbsition
merely because the official name qf-.ouK
r school has not kept pace with the great
* progress and expansion realized here on
I this campus in the past years?
Auburn is a university in every respect
but name. In 1856 Methodist Church lead­ers
visualized the need for a college in
eastern Alabama. Auburn's location near
a railroad was one of the most controver­sial
factors of the debate that led to the
establishment of East Alabama Male Col­lege.
Those who wanted the site to be
Greensboro said the railroad here made
Auburn dirty, and that the town was fi­nancially
unsuitable for the school.

Member—Associated Collegiate Press
O. R. Blue, maintained the contention
that Auburn was the suitable place in
words summarized: "Railroads represent
progress . . . Our section needs a college.
Greensboro is too close to the State Uni­versity
. . . Auburn has substantial citi­zens."
The college was located at Auburn,
has grown by leaps and bounds since, go­ing
through the stages of The Agricul­tural
and Mechanical College of Auburn
and The Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
and is now in a position to receive its
justly deserved title—AUBURN UNIVER­SITY.
The Centennial issue last fall of the Lee
County Bulletin brought out and vividly
acknowledged the current status of our
multi-college expansive institution in the
following excerpt: "The fact that it grew
out of East Alabama Male College, with
its scholarly traditions and devoted facul­ty,
helps to explain the exceptionally broad
program of Auburn as a land-grant col­lege.
It is more than a technical school;
it is cultural and vocational in its scope;
it is as broad as the activities and aspira­tions
of the people of the State; it is a uni­versity
without walls, a university of the
people."
In 1892, two important elements, very
contributive elements, were introduced to
Auburn—women, students and football.
Without an adequate representation in
both of these, Auburn's claims to fame
would not be so well justified. But through
publicity on our popularity and beauty
contests, our bowl-quality football teams
and the Ail-Americans that have been ac­knowledged
across the nation, we have
gained the prestige of a progressive, ac­tive,
representative and large university.
University status, in name as well as in
statue, would have financial benefits as
well as added prestige and recognition.
The annual allocations from the State
would be directly affected by recognition
of the fact that Auburn is a university.
Alabama Polytechnic Institute is a mis­nomer,
we are not merely a polytechnic
institute and should not be recognized as
such. Some schools do not accept credits
from "technical institutes" because of the
limited course of instruction the name in­fers.
By accepting the present name, we
place ourselves in a position just above
that of a "trade school"—certainly that is
no place for a school with the responsibili­ties
and statue of a university.
This is an important and consequential
matter for all of us, and can hardly be
covered completely in an editorial. The
name AUBURN UNIVERSITY is the most
appropriate but perhaps the land-grant
factor in the school's existence will neces­sitate
a slight compromise. The most im­portant
fact for us to be currently aware
of is that we have outgrown our present
name and should be recognized as a uni­versity.

Miss Auburn Relives '57 Year
In Epistle To Student Body
The students of Auburn have
given me many honors that have
thrilled me more than I can ex­press.
No one could have dreamed
that such qualities of friendliness,
generosity, and democracy could
permeate a campus as they do
here at Auburn.
As a freshman, I was excited
and breathless, considering the
wonderful qualities of this school;
as a sophomope, I loved and glo­ried
in the moving power of the
Auburn spirit; as a junior my eyes
have been opened to the work that
goes on behind the scenes to pro­mote
this spirit by the unselfish
boys and girls who work hours
without number for Auburn be­cause
of their belief in the ideals
of this school. As a senior I am
looking forward to working hard
and helping the freshmen, with
hope in my heart that they will
learn early to share the glory and
beauty of the Auburn spirit.
During the past year, I have
served as Miss Auburn and al­though
the responsibility was
frightening, it was a most re­warding
experience. I never con­sidered
myself able to represent
my school in the grand way I felt
in my heart that a Miss Auburn
should. It was a prideful year, but
one of humbleness. One example
was the thrilling experience of
representing Auburn at the Gator
Bowl; the thrill of having a great
Georgia Tech team yell "War
Eagle" because pf its admiration
for the Auburn spirit when Miss
Auburn was presented. A million
memories I have locked in my
heart after a dream year of being
Miss Auburn.
I thank all of you, my fellow
students, for giving me this honor
and for electing me to this posi­tion
of responsibility and service.
I will always remember it and
feel humble because of it. May
Miss Auburn ever hold^her office
of responsibility with grace and
dignity. '
May our Lord bless this great,
big-hearted school of ours in all
ways during the coming years.

Let us pause today, after con­sidering
so many of the details
of enriching our devotional life,
to recall the tremendous signifi­cance
of this act of prayer.
Prayer is the most powerful
force on earth! It gets results.
Try it quietly yourself the next
time you are in a difficult po­sition
that seems to have no way
out, and have faith to believe
that with God all things are pos­sible.
Daily we are presented
with confused situations that we
cannot solve, but if we believe
in a God who hears and answers
prayer, we will be capable and
have the courage to meet these
situations. God is always with us
in despair, you may not see Him,
but He is there.
We sometimes become lost in
the hurry and press of the busy
world. Our activities do not sup­ply
enough contact with God to
keep our spirits functioning nor­mally.
Strivings without spiritual
contact have always been a haz­ard
to mankind, but God has
come to our rescue. He has pro­vided
means by which we can
live in contact with Him. When
we submit our lives to Him
through prayer and worship, our
tasks and ambitions become the
proper medium for growth in
Christlikeness. We grow in the
knowledge of His love as we talk
with Him. He is ready to guide
us from weakness to strength,
from living for ourselves to liv­ing
for Him.
Prayer Is Power
Without a deep prayer life our
lives can never be spiritually
mature. God must become so near
to us that it seems only natural
to talk to Him. Prayer involves
communication and response, a
two-way conversation with a God
not only believed to be real, but
really to care about and do some­thing
for us. The greatest way
we can prepare ourselves for
life is to commune with Him in
prayer. Drawing ourselves to
Him in this manner renders the
nearness and devotion so neces­sary
for life.
We realize we cannot fight
life's battles alone. We must turn
to a higher power—through pray­er
we get satisfaction we cannot
get elsewhere. God is always
there and will respond to those
with unfailing faith. Faith in
prayer is important, but back of
it lies faith in goodness of God.
We must pray without ceasing as
Jesus teaches, and this calls for
time and patience.
Wherever and whenever we
pray, the basic pattern is opening
our souls to God and giving Him
a chance at our own lives; think­ing
first about Him and then
about ourselves. Prayer of this
sort can take place in church,
walking across campus, during an
exam, or even a drive in the
country.
The highest answer we can
hope for in our prayer is God
himself. We shall enter into clos­er
fellowship with Him. Our
BY GRACE JORDAN
lives will become more orderly
and purposeful. Bewilderment
and anxiety will decrease. We
shall live as though we were
seeing the invisible—this is the
secret of life itself.
Perhaps the prayer on the in­ner
life has never been stated so
clearly as in the following poem:
Lord, what a chance within us
one short hour.
Spent in Thy presence will
avail to make!
What heavy burdens from our
busoms take!
What parched grounds refresh
as with a shower!
We kneel, and all around us
seem to lower;
We rise, and all, the distant
and the near,
Stands forth in sunny .outline,
brave and clear;
We kneel, how weak; we rise,
how full of power!
Why, therefore, should we do
ourselves this wrong,
Or others—that we are not al­ways
strong—
That we are sometimes over­borne
with care—
That we should ever weak or
heartless be,
Anxious or troubled — when
with us is i prayer,
And joy and strength and cour­age
are with Thee?

FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR'S DESK
Campaign Changes Needed
BY BOB TARlf
Now that the smoke has cleared
on the political scene, we stu­dents
can begin digging out from
under the campaign confetti.
Judging from the looks of the
campus during the past week and
a half, this year's election must
have been a record breaker in
the way of signs, posters, banners
and letters. They caused much
worry and • sweat in the plan­ning,
cluttered up the campus
during the campaign, and will
account for •many a headache
when the bills start arriving.
Campaign advertising has be­come
a rat-race in campus poli­tics
The idea of putting up pos­ters
and signs to let the student
body know who the candidates
are has turned into a nightmare
of matching poster for poster, in
order to keep abreast of the op­ponents.
Even non-paying student sen­ate
position takes an average of
not less than $50 in campaign ex­penses.
Expenses of running for
top student government positions
easily run up above the $100
mark.
These expenses look big to a
candidate even if he has the ad­vantage
of fraternity or sorority
backing — an independent may
find it impossible to afford such
expenses.
Candidates are spending more
and more on their campaigns and
the real tragedy is that little ad-
_ vantage is being gained. For ex­ample,
one candidate may feel
inclined to send letters to the
individual students; his oppon­e
n t can't allow himself to fall
behind, so he too sends letters
to the students. The total effect
will probably equal zero—some
votes gained—some lost.
One candidate placed the cost
of printing the letters, less the
cost of' envelopes, at $17.50 per
3,000. Postage costs are avoided
if the letters are intended for the
dorms and can be placed in cam­pus
mail; needless to say, the
post office help at the dorms
don't care a lot for the added
work piled on them.
Two and a half dollars is a
modest sum for a car top sign—
for materials alone. And some
candidates have spent fifty cents
for a car-side sign.
Campaigning costs have soared
so that many prospective candi­dates
find it impossible to foot
the bill of running for student
government and publications po­sitions.
Things have reached the point
that it's time for student govern­ment
to step in and limit cam­paign
expenses.
Perhaps the fairest way for
this to be done is through a limit
on the number of posters, signs,
etc. that candidates be allowed
to use. Such a plan would eli­minate
the obvious faults in hav­ing
each candidate report his
spendings.
Letters to the individual stu­dents
could be eliminated entire­ly.
Perhaps there are other changes
in the election laws that the stu­dent
senate could make to bring
campaign expenses down to earth
and make it possible for more
students to consider running for
student office.

Suggestions For Spring Fishing
LICENSES: Auburn Sportsmen
who are getting gear in lop shape
for the coming spring fishing
should check to see if they have
their 1956-57 fishing licenses.
New prices and regulations con­cerning
fishing licenses are now
in effect in Alabama as a result
of action taken by the Alabama
State Legislature during 1956.
Resident sport fishing licenses
for rod and reel or artificial lure
is now $2.00 per year. Resident
hook and line license outside of
county of residence is $1.00 per
year. Residents of Alabama 65
yeai's of age or older now receive
a free lifetime license. There is
a fifteen cent issuing fee on all
licenses. Many hook and line
fishermen have been fined for
not having proper licenses to fish.
Be sure you have your license.
It can save you money, time and
embarrasment.
"EYELETS": With the spring
season coming upon us many a
fly rod and bug will be put into
action. To make attaching leaders
to fly lines simpler, try using the
tiny "eyelet" device now on sale
at most bait and tackle stores.
Besides being strong and trust­worthy,
the "eyelet" docs away
with cumbersome knots where
leader and line are joined, and
makes attaching leaders simpler
and faster. Smoother casts also
result from the use of "eyelets."
LOCATING BREAM BEDS:
For fast and furious action on
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
light tackle, bream fishing is
hard to beat. On the fighting end
of a light flyrod or pole, the fat,
glistening hand sized bream is a
real battler with a style all his
own. In the spring, and other
times of the year, bream congre­gate
in great numbers to fan
out "beds", or spawning places,
and to lay and fertilize their
eggs. While on the bed, bream
will bite almost anything brought
into the bed. The fish bite not
out of hunger always, but to
remove the foreign body from
the bed. Usually bream bed in
shallow water, from three quar­ter
to three or four feet deep.
Bream seem to prefer a hard or
sandy bottom to a mucky or
gooey bottom for bedding. Beds
range in size, according to the
number of fish engaged in the
spawning operation. Single beds,
with three or four fish may be
only one or two feet square. I
have heard of beds in waters
such as the Dead Lakes in Flori­da,
being over a hundred yards
long, and several yards wide. Of
course beds of this size are made
up of many, many small beds
made by thousands of fish.
Bream usually bed in the same
general vicinity each year. Keep
on the look out this spring for
dark looking holes on the bot­toms
of ponds, creeks, and lakes,
or for unusual activity in certain
areas. You may find a bream
bed, and if you do, you'll know
about it.

at the
From its founding in 1925, Pratt & Whit­ney
Aircraft has been essentially an en­gineering
company. Its primary objective
has been the design and development of
new aircraft engines of superior perform­ance
and dependability. The guiding
policy has always been, simply, that
technical excellence must be the para­mount
objective, attained through con­stant
effort to improve upon the best.
As early as 1928 Pratt & Whitney Air­craft's
Wasp engines powered' Wavy sea­planes
which brought back world records
in altitude, range and speed from compe­titions
in Switzerland, Germany and
France. The following year, Wasp-powered
Army Air Corps airplanes were
flying combat formations at 30,000 feet.
All through the 1930s the power, range
and fuel economy of the Pratt & Whit­ney
Aircraft Wasp and Hornet engines
were developed, and the engines seasoned
with experience. Wiley Post, the Lind­berghs,
Martin and Osa Johnson, Amelia
Earhart, Admiral Byrd and Roscoe Tur­ner
were among the host of famous pilots
who made aviation history with Wasp
power.
During World War II, 50 percent of
the aircraft powerplants for the Amer­ican
air arms were engineered by Pratt
& Whitney Aircraft. Three of the five key
fighter airplanes, a host of medium and
heavy bombers, and 98 percent of all the
military transports used Pratt & Whit­ney
Aircraft engines.
The postwar development of the J-57
gained the company a position of engi­neering
leadership in the jet field. It
powered the first jet aircraft to fly faster
than sound in level flight, and is now
used in six supersonic fighters, three
bombers and the first two American com­mercial
jet transports.
G. Edward Gearhart was graduated from
the University of Delaware in June, 1956,
with a B.S. in chemical engineering, and
is now working for his Ph.D. in chemical
engineering at Lehigh. At Delaware, he
was editor-in-chief of the yearbook,
"Blue Hen," active in sports and secre­tary
of the Engineering Council.

Training is pretty much full-time at
DuPont, lid. The main objective is
to train men to reach their full capa­bilities
as soon as possible. So we give
the new man responsibility the day
he arrives, and increase it as oppor­tunities
are available and he's ready
for more responsibility.
That's the basic, guiding policy. But
Du Pont has many departments. And
training has many facets.
In some plants, the college graduate
being trained for supervision is moved
through all areas of the production
cycle. In others, where the technical
phases are more involved, he may
spend -time in a laboratory or devel­opment
group before moving on to
production.
It works the same way in sales. The
graduate may first learn the labora­tory
side of the products he's going to
sell. Or he may start right out on
learning selling techniques. That all
depends on the products and markets
involved.
The same on-the-job principle ap­plies
to new men in specialized fields
of research, development or design . . .
including daily contacts with super­vision,
frequent lectures, discussions
and conferences. Periodic changes in
assignment, too.
It's carefully planned, individualized
training, Ed. We've found it's the
most effective way to broaden a man
quickly. DuPont is a growing organ­ization.
And men with leadership po­tential
are always in demand.
Denton B. Harris joined Du Pont's Engi­neering
Research Laboratory in lune,
1952, after completing work for an M.S.
in civil engineering at the University of
Massachusetts. He's currently working
on an unusual project—a broad study of
the philosophy of design. The objective
is to learn more about people's design
preferences, and the trends behind new
coiicepts in industrial design. This new
assignment came after Denton gained
several years of experience in various
kinds of civil engineering at Du Pont.

the Auburn Tigers will try
to strengthen their hold on

SEC Adopts Rotating Grid Schedule;
Athletic Department Highly Pleased
Escaping almost unnoticed amid the furious wind-up of the
cage season was the announcement that a long talked about "ro­tating"
football schedule had been adopted by the Southeastern
Conference. '
The crux of the new plan states that each team of the 12-member
league will play seven games each year—five with "basic" or natural"
opponents and two with rotating foes.
The basic games for Auburn will be with Alabama, Georgia
Tech, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. The rotating tilts will
be With Kentucky and Mississippi in 1960-61, LSU and Missis­sippi
State In 1962-63, Tulane and Vanderbilt in 1964-65. Se- '
lection of the five annual opponents for each school was based
primarily on the history and length of previous contracts as
will as preference indicated by the schools.
The system will go into effect for the season of 1960, and games
have been scheduled for five years thereafter. The rotating games
,„,,„<JI„-:«™:™™.1v.™ will be on a home-and-home .,„„„„„„„,„„„„„„„„„„,„„„.
basis with the home team to de­cide
the site of the contest and
the visiting team guaranteed
$35,000. During the 1960-65
campaigns every SEC team will
meet every other league member
at least twice. The rule .assures
that each team will play a rifini-mum
of seven loop games each
year, but each team may, at its
Jordan own discretion, play more than 7.
The initial year of the new plan will see the crowning of the
first bonified conference champion. In present and past years, the
only requirement for the title was that a team play at least six
league games—which was difficult for some teams to do. Many
so-called champs in the past have won their hofiors by playing
what was far from a representative number or caliber of teams.
From Athletic Director Jeff Beard ,we learned that he and the
entire Auburn athletic department are well pleased with the new
arrangements and feel that they will be very beneficial to the !Plains-men
as well as the SEC. Head Coach Ralph Jordan stated, "Auburn
wants to play the best teams available and we feel that the new
rotating plan will definitely strengthen our schedule."
Beard went even further, "We want the best schedule poss­ible
for Auburn. With Cliff Hare Stadium now seating 34,000
fans, we are putting emphasis on an attractive home schedule.
Of course, there will always be conflicts which will make it nec­essary
to bring a small-school team on the campus, but we are
striving for a schedule with no breathers—that is, ten top games
are being sought for each year with at least four of them hoped
for the API campus.
"Besides the seveh annual games set up by the new plan, Auburn
hopes to slate one other SEC opponent each year' as well as a team
from the Southwest and one from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Toward this goal we have scheduled so far Maryland here Oct. 25,
1958, Wake Forest here Nov. 22, 1958, and Miami here Oct. 22, 1960.
We also are committed to play in Miami on Oct. 24, 1959."
Released from the commissioner's office were the following
factors which were taken into consideration while drawing up
the rotating schedule:
1. Balanced schedule for each of the 12 schools.
2'. Leaving traditional ga.mes at traditional sites.
3. Separating game sites whenever possible to help at­tendance.
4. Game locations, home and away, based as near as possi­ble
on existing continuity .of contracts.
5. Leaving traditional dates open for traditional non-con­ference
foes.
6. Five basic games decided from preference of SEC
schools, history and length of contracts, natural attractions.
7. Rotating games paired off to balance past attendance
records.
8. Giving heavily populated areas better home game possi­bilities.
9. On eleven-week schedule, four week-ends left vacant to
be used for individual game changes or to schedule additional
SEC games after overall slate is adopted by the conference.
10. The commissioner to grant changes of sites after
schedule has been adopted.
Beard feels that Auburn was very fortunate in getting both
Georgia Tech and Tennessee, the perennial powers of the conference,
as basic opponents. The rivalry with Tech, considered to be of a
• traditional nature, is set for Atlanta and Birmingham, while the se-i
ries with Tennessee will probably alternate between Knoxville and
Auburn, or Birmingham. Both teams are tremendous drawing cards
and the games should be very' profitable. In fact, the only bit of
dissatisfaction with the new schedule seems to stem from the con­clusion
that every team cannot have both Tech and Tennessee for
natural rivals.
The rotating schedule was provided* by a change in SEC by­laws
at the annual meeting held at Point Clear last'December. Com­missioner
Bernie Moore began drawing up plans for the new
system immediately after approval had been' made. The finished
product was presented and adopted by the SEC Executive Commit­tee
»t its meeting in Atlanta in March. Commissioner Moore put
much time and thought in devising a plan to meet the approval of
all 12 schools and deserves a solid pat on the back for his efforts.
The plan was not an overnight affair, however, and was one that
had been'in the making for a number of years.

Loss Of
Dampens
Ace Hurler, Herb Pearce,
Tigers' Hopes For Crown
By Maurice Hargrove
Plainsman Sports Editor
Fate dealt Auburn's base­ball
aspirations a staggering
blow last week when ace
pitcher Herbie Pearce was
felled by an appendectomy.
Sporting a record of five
straight conference wins and
with Pearce hurling like the*
Pearce of old, the Plainsmen
appeared headed toward their
first SEC Eastern Division
t i t le isince 1948.
This is not to say that cham­pionship
flames are by any means
extinguished', but with the loss
of Herb, they are somewhat
dampened. For all the mighty-mite
with a big heart had done
was make two starts and chalk
up "two imftbutfvictories. CoacH"
Dick McGowen called the loss of
Pearce, "With the possible ex­ception
of the loss of Jim Py-burn
in 1955, the worst setback
that Auburn baseball has suf­fered
since I have been coach­ing."
(And for those few who
might not know, Pyburn stepped
right from the API campus to
the roster of the Baltimore Ori­oles.)
McGowen thought that it was
some sort of an April Fool joke
when a nurse from Lee County
Hospital called him at 9:00 p. m.
April 1, and told him that his
leading hurler was about to go
under, the surgeon's knife. But it
was no prank at all, as McGowen
and all Tiger fans later wished
it had been.

Mercer Bears, 14-1
By Don Coughlin
The Tiger baseballers won
a one-sided 14-1 v i c t o r y over
t h e Mercer Bears in Macon,
Ga. last Saturday afternoon,
April 6.
Centerfielder Rex Frederick
led the 15 hit attack with four
singles in five trips to the plate.
Also shining were the two Tiger
pitchers, starter Fred McDuffie
and reliefer Richard Wood. -*
McDuffie proved himself as a
man for future starting roles as
he allowed three hits in his six
inning appearance. Wood relieved
in the seventh and allowed four
hits for the final three innings.
Auburn scored two runs in the
first on singles by Lorino, Nix
and Roberson. This iced the game
for the "War Eagle" from the
initial inning. They scored four
more in the fourth frame and
added eight in the big sixth,
when Bear starter Furman York
was tagged for three straight
singles.
Then Doug Skelton came in
to relieved him, but was met

cide that no man that small
could fire anything really hard,
and as a result when they step in
to face him, his fast one seems
even swifter. He does not have
the high hard one or the big
curve like the ''Paul. Susce kind.
In fact, he sometimes does not
even get a wrinkle out of his
fast one.
Thus here is where an asset
Herb does have comes in—an as­set
that if possessed by hundreds
of big, strong kids throughout
the land would make many
pitchers out of throwers. The
talented Woodlawn grad has got
brains, and knows Jiow to use
them. A batter seldom sees the
same pitch in "the same place
twice. One who gets a hit off of
a certain offering never sees it
again — Herb remembers. His
main strikeout weapon is tjie age
old crossfire, . a familiar pitch
most folks term "high school,"
but the way Herb delivers it
(around by third base) most col­lege
hitters are plain duck soup.
One major league scout, watch­ing
him against Georgia early in
the season, declared that Herb
was the "smartest" college pitch­er
he had ever seen. "He thinks
like an old pro," remarked the
scout.
~His excellent control is also a
big asset, having ' walked only
two men in 14 innings this year.
spectacular record
. All factors considered, the di­minutive
righthander's college
mound mark of 12-5 is nothing
short of spectacular. The appen­dectomy
was not the first mis­hap
he has had to contend with
since arriving on the Plain.
Only last season he hurt his
arm while throwing in a cold
rain against Georgia on opening
day and did not regain effective­ness
until the SEC race was de­cided.

HI! WAR EAGLE
Third b a s e m a n J a ck
Crouch's long-ball hitting led
t h e Tigers to an 8-1 victory
over the Howard Bulldogs at
Plainsman P a r k last Tuesday,
April 2.
Along,with Crouch's fine hit­ting.
Bill Cawthorne pitched a
•brilliant game the last five
frames after relieving starter
John Martin. Crouch hit a fourth
inning homer over the right field
wall which accounted for three
runs and put the cap on Caw-thorne's
first triumph. In addi­tion
to the homer, Crouch singled,
walked and blasted a long fly
to deep center field which was
caught against the fence.
, Auburn started the scoring in
the second frame when Bulldog
starter Joe Campbell walked
three straight men, gave up a
wild pitch and allowed a single
to L. F. Lanier.
In addition to Crouch's hitting,
the Tiger cause was aided by sec­ond
baseman Bob James and
center fielder L. F. Lanier, who
banged out two singles apiece in
the seven-hit attack.
There was a.-^oung fellow nam­ed
Gale
Who ate quarters and land­ed
in jail;

Took the news with a frown,
So he instantly coughed up the
bail.

THE PULSE-POUNDING SAGA OF.
DE WITT CLINTON, AMERICAN
Let us today turn our eager young minds to the in­spiring
story of. De Witt Clinton, one of the greatest
figures in American history and — unaccountably — one
. of the most neglected.
He tmht phowWms.
De Witt Clinton (sometimes called Aaron Burr) first
made himself known to fame in 1756 when Governor
William Penn commissioned him to survey the forests of
the Western Reserve. (One is inclined to wonder what in
the world Governor Penn could have been thinking of,
for De Witt Clinton was eighteen months old at the time.)
However, the little chap did remarkably well. He surveyed
as far west as Spokane, teaching phonetic English to
more than twelve million Indians along the way, and then,
tired but happy, he became Johnny Appleseed.
Later, he became a keelboat and sailed home to enter
politics. He tried to join the Greenback Party, but his
back wasn't green enough, so he joined the Whigs.
He was offered the Whig nomination for the presi­dency,
but declined with the celebrated statement: "If
nominated I will not run; if elected I will not serve."
But the Whigs only nudged each other and said, "That
old fox, he's just playing hard to get." So they nominated
him anyhow, and sure enough he did not run, but he was
elected anyhow, and sure enough he did not serve. In
fact, he was elected to a second term, which he also did
not serve. However, only a few top Whigs knew there
was nobody in the White House. The rest of the country
thought that the President was confined to his room with
a wrenched knee. For a while people sent "Get Well"
cards, but soon everyone forgot and turned their atten­tion
to important matters like opening the west, inventing
the buffalo, and the Black Tom Explosion;
After two terms as President, De Witt Clinton
entered Yale and took up smoking. He tried several
brands of cigarettes until he found the one brand that
pleased him in every particular-Philip Morris, of corris!
(You knew I was going to say that, didn't you ? Well,
of course you did, especially if you are a Philip Morris
smoker, for if you are, you know what a sweetheart of a
smoke Philip Morris is — how full of rich, natural flavor,
how natural and mellow, how long size and regular. And
if you are not a Philip Ityorris smoker, you've got a treat
coming. Light one soon. Light either end.)
Upon graduation from Yale, De Witt Clinton became
commissioner of baseball and smoked and loved Philip
Morris Cigarettes for the rest of his long and distin­guished
life, and when at last he was called to his reward,
his friend Old Hickory (Daniel Webster) stood up in the
Senate and said, "How sad that De Witt Clinton must
now be forever separated from his beloved Philip Morris!"
"Nay!" cried Pitt, the Elder (Henry Clay), bounding
to his feet. "We needjiot separate De Witt Clinton and
Philip Moijjs. I know now to keep them together always!" '
And, sure enough, if you will look at the blue federal
tax stamp on your pack of Philip Morris, guess Whose
picture you'll see. De Witt Clinton's! That's whose!

Combined Talents Result In Colorful, Educational
Exposition For Architecture, Related Study Fields
Architectural, interior and in­dustrial
design and art students
are combining their respective
talents to present an informative
and colorful display for this
week-end's Village Fair guests.
Scarab,' the architectural hon­orary,
has used color as the prime
motive in decorating the exterior
Of Biggin Hall. The north facade
of the building is a series of color­ful
panels and the approach to
the main entrance, is dominated
by a ten foot' high screen of,
brightly ' painted cans, spaced at
proportional intervals.
Decor, Art Guild and AlA have
combined .their efforts to make an
informative display on the first
floor of Biggin, which begins at
the main entrance, proceeds
through the main floor design-lab
and back down the corridor. From
there the display leads down tp
the industrial design students' ex­hibition;
which took first place
last year.
AIA's phase of the display com­prises
work of the students, in­cluding
models, renderings and
sketches, that will take the visi­tors
through the complete design
curriculum, from first quarter de­sign
through the thesis.
In addition t
