will be beneficial in working out
the minute details of the policy.
Among the schools that have
been contacted are the Universi­ties
of Michigan, Maryland, North
Carolina, and North Dakota; also
North Western University in
Evanston, Illinois, and Stetson
University in Deland, Florida.
All students entering or re­turning
to API in September of
1958 will be given an opportunity
during the summer to take the

'Rip Van Winkle'
To Open Tomorrow
In Player's Theatre
"Rip Van Winkle" opens to­morrow
night at 8:15 in the
Players' Theater.
This play contains five separate
scenes—all located in the Kaat-skills
of the historical Henrick
Hudson. Legends of Hudson and
his phantom crew have been cir­culating
in the village for years
and years, but it takes a drunken
ne'r-do-well like Rip to discover
these fantastic men who cause the
thunder and lightning. The only
problem is that Rip's friends do
not believe his tale, and after he
has slept for twenty years, they
do not even believe he is Rip.
Tickets are available at Lang-don
Shops every afternoon from
2 to 5. Students must present I.D.
Cards for free admission while
admission for adults is 50 cents
and 25 cents for high school stu­dents.

Kappa Alpha Theta
Takes First Place
In Sigma Chi Derby
BY NOEL EGGE
The 12th annual Sigma Chi
Derby, held last Saturday after­noon
in front of Social Center,
was won by the Kappa Alpha
Thctas by a close one-point mar­gin.
The Thetas won over ten
other sororities.
Second and third place tro­phies
went to the Tri Delts and
Alpha Omicron Pis respectively.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas were
presented with a horseshoe of
white flowers along with the
first place trophy.
Jim Moore, one of the emcees
for the Derby, termed it as "very
successful." Louis Brown, chair­man
for the Derby, acted as
"Derby Daddy" for the festivi­ties.
Included in the nine events
was the "surprise" event, which
consisted of a bulldogging con­test.
Goats were used, and the
object was to see who could
catch, throw, and tie the goat in
the fastest time. Marilyn Buscy,
the Theta representative, won
this event.
Among the other events, the
stiJt race was won by the Alpha
Omicron Pis; the balloon stomp
by the Tri Delts; the egg tossing
contest by the Chi Omegas, and
the blind-folded wheel barrow
race by the Zeta Tau Alphas,
Following the Derby events
was the crowning of the new Sig­ma
Chi Sweetheart, Martha Dun-away.

Encouraged by the words
from high military confeder­ate
echelons last F r i d a y after­noon,
Alabama rebels rose
"up in arms" against the in­vasion
of "whiskered carpet­baggers"
from the north.
Toomer's Corner, teaming
w i t h rebel volunteers, stamp-horses,
a mule drawn buggy
and wagon and curious on­lookers
became the site for
t h e beginning of Kappa Al­phas'
traditional annual se­cession
from the union.
Members of Kappa Alpha were
attired in civil war styles rang­ing
from traditional rebel grays
to fancy silver stripped pants and
coattails adorned with lace at
neck and wrists. Beards, mus­taches,
Elvis Presley sideburns
and Hav-a-Tampa cigars were
in evidence at Toomer's Corner.
Flanked by cannon and a con­federate
flag bearer, the rebels
military head read an announce­ment
"urging all volunteers to
join."
The procession then began its
march down South College Street
for a regrouping at the Kappa
Alpha house.
The KA house boasted a great,
faded confederate flag across its
white columns; enhancing the
scene's beauty, lovely ladies with
hooped skirts and parasols of a
past era decorated the lawn.
"Faithful southerners who love
sowbelly, ' hog jowl, beautiful
I women, gbod corn squeezings,
| grits and beautiful women: we
will confuse the enemies simple
minds and in four days stampede
them into Alaska." Amid boo's
and hurrah's for this speech
Seceding Kappa Alphas met
with more than the usual
heckling this past weekend. An
estimated 100 students gather­ed
in front of the KA House
early Friday morning to sere­nade'
the sleeping Southern
Gentlemen with "Yankee
Doodle" and "Nawthern" songs.
The crowd finally left at about
2 a.m. •
To add to the harassment of
the KA rebels, their ladies
(dates for the weekend) were
almost kidnapped on Friday
afternoon.
Members of Kappa Sigma
fraternity chartered a bus, pull­ed
up in front of the KA house,
and were in the process of load­ing
the ladies aboard "for a ride
to see the secession ceremonies"
when the hoax was discovered.
A final blow to the proud but
weary band of Southerners
came late Saturday night when
one of two cannons adorning the
front lawn was carted off and
thrown in the SAE lake by an
undetected group of assailants.
given by General Jack Daniels
the confederate flag was raised
and the crowd burst out singing
"Dixie". "Save your confederate
money" was the parting remark
from the rebels.
Awards were presented out­standing
rebels for such titles as
"Most Uncultured" and "Best
Woman Warmer."

Lecture And Concert Series Plans
Five Events For 1958-59 Season
Art Contest Begins May 14;
Works To Feature Religious Themes
By Kennie Holmes
Auburn students will have
an opportunity to show their
talent in the field of art dur­ing
the Religious Art Contest.
Students' paintings will be on
display in the Union Building
on the bulletin boards in the
main lobby from May 24
through J u n e 4.
The purpose of the contest is
to encourage religious expression
as a vital force in the life of API
students through the creation of
religious art work by those stu­dents.
Another purpose is to dis­play
these art works for the spir­itual
inspiration of the communi­ty-
The Student Christian Relig­ious
Association wiil sponsor the
exhibit. Any student enrolled at
Auburn for the 1957-58 sessions
are eligible to enter the contest.
Students entering do not have to
be in the School of Art. The art
work has to be on a religious
theme but can be done in any
medium. <
All work for the contest must
be turned in at Biggin Hall Lib­rary
May 14 to 16. It must
be turned in by noon on May 16,
as the judging for entries will be
that afternoon.
Seven prizes will be offered
but the pictures will remain the
property of SCRA. These prizes
will become part of a religious
arts collection that is being
planned for Auburn's campus.
First prize will be an award
worth $35, second worth $30 and
third prize will be worth $25.
There will also be four keys giv­en
for honorable mention.
The winners' art works will
be displayed along with others
that the judges think are good
pieces of art.
Judges for the art contest will
be faculty members of the School
of Art and a minister. They are
Mr. Harry Lowe, professor of art;
Marietta Kettunen, assistant pro­fessor
of art, and Dr. John H.
Lcith, Pastor of the Auburn
Presbyterian Church.
The API Lecture and Concert
series will present a varied ros­ter
of five concert attractions for
the 1958-59 season.
Attractions include the Alleg­ro
Trio, June 25; Dance Fair,
July 17, Candide, October 20; the
Minneapolis Symphony Orches­tra,
March 3; and Nell Rankin,
April, 1959.
The Allegro Trio is made up
of three young artists—Cynthia
Otis, harpist; Joan Marie Moy-nagh,
lyric-soprano; and Elaine
Bonazzi, mezzo-soprano.
Something new in dance-dra­ma,
the Dance Fair features
Flower Hujer, ballerina and
choreographer, and three male
dancer from outstanding U. S.
ballet companies, TV shows and
Broadway productions in a var­ied
program.
A musical production of Vol­taire's
Candide stars opera and
movie personalities Martyn
Green, Robert Rounseville and
Irra Pctina. Music is by Leonard
Bernstein with lyrics by Rich­ard
Wilbur, Dorothy Parker and
John Latouche. The concert Can­dide
is based on the widely ac­claimed
Broadway production of
several years ago.
Nell Rankin, one of the world's
leading mezzo-sopranos and a
native of Montgomery, has ap­peared
and been starred at the
Metropolitan Opera, La Scala
Opera House, the Vienna State
Opera, London's Covent Garden,
the San Francisco Opera and
many others. She has been par­ticularly
acclaimed for her in­terpretation
of the role of Car­men.
Lecturers for the 1958-59 sea­son
will be announced at a later
date.
to the convention of the meeting
of the council, and to preside
over the conference and council
meetings.
Highlights of this year's con­vention
included:
Friday night—registration and
tour of campus parties and social
life.
Saturday morning —discussion
of the different problems evident
in the schools; lunch and a speech
by the FSU Dean of Men.
Afternoon Session—further dis­cussion
of the problems of the
school and election of Sonny Col­vett
of Auburn as the new chair­man.
SUSGA is a non-political, non-policy
making organization of the
Southern Colleges and Universi­ties
dedicated to the service of
their respective campuses. It's
purpose is to promote better stu­dent
government, publications,
and public relations through
greater cooperation and exchange
of ideas among the member
schools.
This purpose is accomplished
in two main ways, by holding an
annual conference to which
schools bring delegates from each
of its publications and branches of
its student government, and by
having an inter-campus exchange
of. ideas during the year. This
exchange is executed by the
chairman, who has at his disposal
reports, files, constitutions, publi­cations,
etc, pertaining to the way
each school has solved its prob­lems.
This data may be sent to
any other school which has a sim­ilar
problem.
SUSGA is administered by
the chairman and is governed
by the SUSGA council, which is
made up of the chairman and
one representative from each
school. The council meets once
a year, usually in January, to
plan the agenda, place, and time
of the convention; to make rec-commendations
to the conven­tion;
and to administer the bus­iness
necessary to run SUSGA.
Auburn delegates to SUSGA
in addition to Colvett, were Bob
Lynn and Boolie Hill.
'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
At the Union . . .
There will be a patio dance
this Friday, May 9, at the Union
Building. That night the Eagles
Nest will feature the Auburn
Knight's Combo for entertain­ing
dance music. Special decora­tions
will be added to the Eagles
Nest. A floor show by Auburn
students will be the half-time
show.
On Tuesday, May 13, the free
movie will be "Written on the
Wind," featuring Rock Hudson,
Dorothy Malone, Lauren Bacall
and Robert Stack.
FRANCES DAVIS of Mobile makes a good picture in more ways
than one. Frances, a freshman in elementary education, resides in
Dorm 12. Our relations with the photography staff would certainly

opportunity to see several entertaining
programs ranging from the professional
luster of Joni James to the well executed
exhibit of our own home-grown talents^as
demonstrated in last week's Spring Show.
The preference of the student is clearly
indicated by a check on attendance records
which prove the Spring Show to be the
only event on campus other than athletics
which attracts a fourth or more of the
campus population.
Again this year the cast is to be con­gratulated
on their success in presenting
a two-hour comedy that combines the
qualities of originality, humor, and good
taste in such proportions as is necessary
Special praise should be meted out to
the "unsung heroes" whose hard work and
ingenuity kept costs to a meagre $218. This
group includes the scenery painters, dress
makers, musicians, and many others who
never appeared on the stage and, in some
cases, weren't even given recognition on
the program. This is not to sell short the
actual performers, who worked equally
hard on the many weeks of tiresome re­hearsals
or the script and song writers
whose talent was evident throughout the
show.
Again, our thanks and commendation
for the four night run of the Spring Show
. . . to the 75 students who made it happen.
Coke Profits Go To Students
The 5 cent Coca Cola—a tradition, and
a standby since before we can remember—
has finally fallen.
It now costs 6 cents.
The Coca Cola distributors in the t e r r i ­t
o r y around Auburn, one of the few re­maining
strong-holds for the nickel Coke,
have finally followed suit to bring t h e lo­cal
price into line with other areas of the
s t a t e .
We are not surprised that the price of
Coca Cola, stable through years of mush­rooming
high prices, has finally gone up,
too.
It is of some comfort to learn, however,
t h a t a part of the increase will go back to
t h e students in the form of profits.

students and faculty, handles the profits
from all the vending machines on cam­pus.
Before the price increase, Cokes cost
80 cents a case and sold for $1.20. Now they
cost $1 and sell through the machines for
$1.44.
After the cost of renting the machines
is deducted, the 44 cents profit, along with
profits from candy, cigarette and milk
vending machines is used for the student
body.
Each year the men's and the women's
dormitories each get $1,200. This money is
used in various ways. Magnolia Dormi­tories
will use some of its share to pay the
$300 cost of its annual Ball this year. In
the past, division parties have been paid
for out of this money and a TV set bought
for the residents. It is used as a recreation
fund.
The girls dormitories have in recent
years used some of their share of the
money to buy water coolers for the uupper
floors of the dorms in the Quadrangle.
Profits left after the dormitories have
received their share are used for campus
projects so that all the students may bene­fit.
Price increases are a commonplace haz­ard
of living in today's economy. It's a
comfort to be reminded that profits re­sulting
from the increase in the price of
Coca Cola will go back to the campus.

Sack Violation
Of The Figure
(ACP)—Only twice in world history
has the style of women's clothes violated
the basic figure, Philip Henderson, assis­tant
professor of design, University of
Kansas, pointed out in the Daily Kansan.
As a designer and as a man, Henderson
doesn't like the new look. "The basic prin­ciple
of women's fashion is to enhance the
figure's natural form/' he said. "The che­mise
destroys the waistline, always an
essential to the feminine style.
"Generally the more beautiful and flat­tering
a style is, the longer it lasts." He
gives the chemise "a couple of years."
Why More Religious Courses
Aren't Offered At Auburn
The question has been asked
*nany times, "Why doesn't Au­burn
offer more religious
courses? Is it because of lack
of student interest, lack of
funds, or just what reason is
there?",
As the situation stands now,
only one religious course is
taught per quarter; and of the
eight religious courses listed
as available electives in the
1958 college Bulletin, only
two different subjects have
been taught this year.
Dr. McDavid taught "His­tory
of the Christian Church"
last quarter; Dr. Leith taught
"Prophets of Israel" in the
fall and he is instructing the
course again this quarter.
Dean Allen, head of the
school of science and litera­ture,
sees the solution of the
problem in a combination of
the Philosophy and Religious
Education departments under
one head. A search is under­way
to find someone for the
p o s i t i o n . Approximately
twenty-five applications have
been received since February.
According to Dean Allen,
there are several reasons why
more religious courses are not
taught.
1. Courses of this type must
be elective rather than re­quired.
In a state-supported
institution such as Auburn,
religious courses cannot be
required in the curriculum as
they can be at privately sup­ported
institutions such as
Howard or Judson. Too, be­cause
students of all denomi­nations
are represented at Au­burn,
it would be unfair and
unwise to require these cour­ses
in the various curriculums.
2. The fact that religious
courses must be offered as
electives contributes to the
second problem. Most students
are in rather "straight jacket"
curriculums where they have
few opportunities to elect sub­jects
and when they do, us­ually
choose a course techni­cally
related to their major.
The fact that there are ap­proximately
forty depart­ments
from which to choose
electives further adds to the
problem that there are a rela­tively
small number of stu­dents
who have space in their
curriculum to elect religious
courses.
3. There is a very limited
budget for the Religious Edu­cation
Department and the
only way to get additional
funds would be to deduct
money allocated to the larger
departments within the science
and literature school which
have a large number of re­quired
courses.
4. Finally, there has been
a lot of reliance on Auburn
churches to do teaching on
their own without the addi­tional
benefit of courses being
offered by the school.
Actually, how many! stu-
L wmmmmmmmmmmm immmmmmmmmm
BY MARIE PENHARDT
dents elect a religious course?
According to Dean Allen, fif­ty
punch cards are issued each
quarter and if the course is
closed out, a student may re­ceive
a special permit to take
the course. Forty-nine stu­dents
elected "Prophets of Is­rael"
in the fall and 52 are
taking it now. Fifty-four elec­ted
"History of the Christian
Church" taught winter quar­ter.
There is no way to estimate,
however, how many students
find the course closed out and
do riot know they can get spec­ial
permission to take it.
The best solution to the
problem of too few religious
courses seems to lie in the
proposed combining of the
philosophy and religious edu­cation
departments under one
head. He would have to have
an equally large interest in
both areas, and possibly hold
both a Degree in Divinity as
well as a Degree in Philoso­phy.
Such a combination is in
action at Mississippi State and
under it, five religious courses
are taught, five philosophy
courses, and two combinations
of both.
Although Auburn is moving
in the direction of this com­bination,
the difficulty lies in
finding a head for the depart­ment
with equal competence
and interest in both fields and,
according to Dean Allen, the
departments can't be merged
until this person is found.

Manned Space Laboratory
A program for putting a re­coverable
manned space labora­tory
into orbit within three years
was outlined last week by a top
engineering official of Northrop
Aircraft, Inc.
George F. Douglas, engineering
vice president for the company's
Northrop Division here, said the
division has "developed basic de­sign
criteria for a perfectly feas­ible
manned space laboratory" to
be used in preparation for U. S.
military ventures into space.
The space laboratory would be
a bullet-shaped capsule, approxi­mately
seven feet in diameter and
10 feet long, Douglas said. The
space traveler inside it would be
strapped in a near-reclining posi­tion
in order to withstand the
forces of acceleration and decele­ration.
Contemporary rocket engines
would boost the space laboratory
into orbit.
Once in orbit, it would be
turned by attitude control jets so
that its blunt end faced forward.
This would provide a high drag
to slow the capsule as it hurtled
back into the earth's atmosphere.
Otherwise, D o u g l a s explained,
the man would be crushed by the
force of gravity and burned up
by friction.
At a point halfway around the
earth from the landing spot, re-

was not funny and he stooped to
unmitigated vulgarity to obtain
laughs.
Otherwise, the Spring Show
went off rather well, for the mu­sic
and lyrics were cute and en­tertaining.
Mary Clare Dardis,
who played Annette, possessed a
better concept of her part than
any of the other leads, and Jane
Wade, a member of the chorus,
carried out her small part with
professional bearing.
Congratulations to a hard­working
cast for a fine show.

I do not pretend to be a musi­cal
comedy expert, but I do know
what I like — and I liked the
Spring Show. There are, how­ever,
several criticisms. The
whole show moved too slowly.
Invariably, as soon as a particular
scene aroused the audience's in­terest,
the curtain closed, and
the plot came to a dead stop. Glen
Pehl, who played Sammy, made
a heroic effort to keep the show
moving, but could not do it by
himself. The drunk made a bad
situation worse. Besides having

The Chopping Block
A few weeks ago I wrote a
column entitled "Brainless Ro­bot."
I apologize, not for the col­umn,
for that was what I sin­cerely
believed, but because I
critized only one party. I will be
the first to ad­mit
that the
All - Campus
Party has push­ed
for straight
ticket voting as
long as I have
been in school.
I must defend
the All Campus
Party to a small
extent however. Each year before
elections, "wheels" of the Party
speak to the fraternities and so­rorities
that send members at the
nominating meeting of the party.
They carefully bring out the fact
that if all members of the frater­nities
vote for all candidates on
the slate, a boy in the fraternity
they are addressing will stand a
better chance of getting elected.
I will not defend the ACP for
this. I will defend them however
in the fact that they aso ask that
you vote by your conscience.
They issue cards with the list
of the candidates on the party
ticket, however in contrast to
the WEPP they mention no spec­ial
groups. The card is titled sim­ply,
"The All Campus Party, For
A Better Auburn."
I believe that all fraternities
on this campus stand for a great­er
Auburn. The first duty of a
fraternity man is to his alma ma­ter.
It is for this reason that a
fraternity man will listen to all
candidates for office, not just the
ones in his party/ This is a far
cry from speaking in Magnolia
Dormitories. Often the first ques­tion
asked a candidate there is:
"What party are you in?"
There are two often quoted
speals used by the different par­ties
during election time. The
first is that of the All Campus
Party. "Vote a straight ACP tic­ket.
Remember how many can­didates
we have gotten into of­fice
in the past. The ACP has
been good to us." With a bit of
thinking this reasoning vanishes
as a cloud of smoke. Without the
ACP block vote a good candi­date
would have been elected. If
he were not the best candidate
BY BRYANT CASTELLOW
it did not help the fraternity to
have him elected.
The favorite solution of the
War Eagle Party in getting block
votes is, "Vote War Eagle, the
party for the independents." Both
parties were formed to limit the
number of candidates running;
both were formed to represent
Auburn. A candidate if elected
serves Auburn, not a political
party.
Block voting is a means for
alerting. I don't believe that
many people can look me in the
eye and say that it is the means
lor electing the best candidate.
Is there a solution for this
problem of block voting? Yes.
I am dissatisfied with both par­ties.
I believe that both should
be dissolved' and two new parties
formed. I believe that fraternity-sorority
membership of both par-,
ties should be equalized and that
both should nominate independ­ents.
Block voting and swap outs
cannot be abolished. The men
that believe in voting for the
best men would then swing the
elections, not a block vote.

A Tennessee Lass Says
The War Eagle Is Silenced'
The University of Tennessee's
Miss Betty Elam, whose weekly
writings have received mention in
this column before, has done it
j again! We knew
she would. She
couldn't miss a
chance to com­ment
on some

time she has
lone too far. She
says:
"The mighty
cry of "War Eagle" that rang so
bitter to Tennessee ears last Sep­tember
28 has been silenced.
"Auburn, Ala., home of the
nation's number 1 footbal team,
is no doubt a gloomy little city
this week after the NCAA dump­ed

Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
The Plainsmen faced their
first probation sentence with lit­tle
loss of face via a champion­ship
team last season. Now, just
when the ban was about to be
lifted, Auburn is hit again.
"Auburn came out of the last
probation with an unbeaten
team. The town of Auburn was
jubilant as was the state of Ala­bama
in spite of the idle football
players on New Years Day.
"In the case of Auburn, there
will be another opportunity to
retaliate with a great team. The
big question is, can they do it?
There's not much use in being

can't reap the post-season re­wards.

the loyal fans of Auburn right

A COLUMN S w~
A Billboard Or A School?
If we may pause before buy­ing
that additional car or TV set
or before splurging into a dol­lar-
eating summer, a look at
Admiral Rickover's blunt "Bal­ance
Sheet on Education," seems
pleadingly proper and opportune
enough in our current rat race
with the Soviets.
Rickover asserts:
"Ours is an enormously pro­ductive
economy—the first in
history which produces a large
surplus over and above reason­able
necessities of life. The flood
of goods coming off our produc­tion
lines is so tremendous that
some ten billion dollars must be
spent annually to encourage dis­posal
of them. I speak, of course,
of advertising, which costs us as
much as all our primary and sec­ondary
public schools put togeth­er.
People must be made to buy
things for which they feel no
need; they must be induced to
replace possessions still entirely
satisfactory for new ones which,
it is promised, ( will make them
up to date and keep up the fam­ily's
prestige. Their subconscious
is probed in order to find ways
to stifle the still voice of con­science
and induce the Ameri­can
people to go into consumer
debts of over three billion dol­lars
annually. . .
"The automobile industry alone
must spend one and a half bil­lion
dollars each year to design
and bring out new models in
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
order to insure that American
families keep spending ten per
cent of their income on cars. This
one and a half billion dollars is
about three-quarters of what the
nation spends on all its public
colleges and universities. I men­tion
these figures to show that
sacrifice to give America strength
in the race with Russia would be
insignificant in view of our enor­mous
margin of luxury spend­ing
. . . "
If we are to offer the teacher
a reasonable (or even adequate)
salary and the student a proper
educational environment, we
must first develop and somehow
fulfill our personal obligations
to American education.
ROLL CALL
Two Schools Of Thought
There is little doubt that many
an observing student has noticed
the two schools of educational
thought in which teachers are in­variably
classified, but here I
shall name and explain these
schools from the viewpoint of an
education major.
•r iv;v -is.* The first met­hod
of teaching
teachers is to
instill in them
a great deal of
technical know­ledge
that they
can pass on to
their students.
No attempt is
made to tell
them the correct way to teach or
the psychology involved in
handling their pupils and they
seemingly blunder blindly into
a job at a university when they
should be working on an outside
project where they could use
their skill practically.
This type of teacher can be
widely found, especially in tech­nical
subjects such as physics and
upper-class engineering, and he
can be recognized by his falter­ing
speech, wrinkled shirt and
dirty fingernails.
Although they may have a dis­heveled
appearance these teach­ers
are usually brilliant men and
can be extremely competent in
their field, but, they have no
place in an educational institu­tion.
On the other hand, however, is
the bright-eyed, bushy tailed,
sharply dressed, semi-psycholo­gist
who is more interested in
making the student a better ad­justed
human being than he is
in teaching the three R's thor­oughly.
This is the type that the cur­rent
school of education is turn­ing
out. For a master's degree
that enables a person to teach
college math, 40 hours of mathe­matics
and get this, 120 hours of
educational methods are required.
According to the education ma­jor
I talked to, this is absurd
because a person would have no
business teaching calculus when
he has hardly studied it himself.
However, a college level stu­dent
could become adapted much
more easily to this so-called pro­gressive
system than a student
on the grammar or high school
level could; mainly because he is
old enough to realize that the
only reason he is in school at all
is that he wants to be. He will,
consequently, attempt to dig out
of books what a teacher can't
explain. A grammar or high
school student will not do this
and it necessarily takes a person
thoroughly endowed with tech­nical
skill to explain and even
ROLL
a young-
BY DICK
force knowledge into
ster's cranium.
The School of Education states
that if a person is enough of a
psychologist to make children
well adjusted, he is enough of a
teacher to give that student a
technical proficiency; because
the teacher will give the student
the will to learn. It seems to me
that they have gotten things
turned around. The person with
the formal or technical education
should be teaching the lower
grades and the psychologist
should be inspiring not grammar
school kids, but college upper-classmen.
Soviet Russia's superb educa­tional
system has proven this
agonizingly well. We have been
hurt far more by their teachers
than by their scientists because
their educational standards are
far more severe, especially in the
early years, and they are, con­sequently,
turning smarter peo­ple
out of their colleges than we
are out of ours.
As a summation, we can say
sincerely that today's education
majors are learning too much
about how to teach and too little
about what he is going to teach.
The advent of the sputniks has
been a foreboding warning to our
teachers, even more so than a
chronic headache to our military
leaders.
Skin Divers Club
Awaits Recognition
And Approval
BY BARBARA SAUNDERS
A brand-new organization is
struggling for recognition on the
API campus—the Skin Diver's
Club. This organization is being
formed by Tommy Tate who has
had experience in skin diving
from service days.
The idea is a new one for API
but other organizations have al­ready
been formed—one of which
is located in Panama City.
Though the same facilities for
the club are not available at Au­burn
as would be on the coast,
beginners can gain experience in
handling underwater equipment
in the Alumni Gym pool. The
plans for the future begin with
organizational meetings, training
in the gym pool, and will culmin­ate
in representing Auburn in
spear fishing tournaments.
Interest in spear fishing is
widespread, involving approxi­mately
fifty people, including
some who have had UDT train­ing.
No experience is necessary
except that one should be able
to swim, for experienced divers
will help train anyone who wants
to try their hand at a new sport.
The biggest problem at present
for the leaders of the organiza­tional
movement is that of ob-

'Unicontrol' Automobile Incorporates
Features For Safety, Handling Ease
By Jack Crumpfon
In recent years great ad­vances
have been made in the
never-ending struggle to in­crease
automobile safety and
operational ease. One of the
newest and most fascinating
results of the automobile's in­d
u s t r y research in these areas
is t h e "unicontrol" car, an ex­perimental
machine which is
l i t e r a l ly driven by hand.
The only conventional item in
the control system is an auto­matic
transmission lever on the
stub of a wheel-less steering col­umn.
A four-inch "stick" topped
by a heavy ball at the driver's
right performs all the remaining
driving chores—steering, braking
and accelerator control. Research
scientists have stated that even­tual
use of this one-control sys­tem
on a large scale basis de­pends
on future developments in
electronic and hydraulic control
devices. At present neither ap­proach
the reliability of mechan­ical
steering systems.
STICK CONTROL
Unicontrol eliminates the. tra­ditional
mechanical linkage be­tween
steering gear and front
wheels. The driver simply han­dles
the stick beside him, which
turns the car right when he
moves it in that direction or left
when he moves it to the left. To
accelerate the car the driver
pushes the stick forward, and
to apply brakes he pulls it back­ward.
NO-SKID FEATURE
The steering ratio varies with
the speed of the car. This in ef­fect
means that a quick, abrupt
motion of the control will not
throw the car into a skid, such as
would occur if a driver were to
suddenly twist his steering wheel
at high speed in a conventional
car.
According to leaders in the
automotive industry, the unicon­trol
system is but one phase in
a study of control elements. The
aim of this research is to deter­mine
what controls will best suit
automobile drivers, regardless of
how drastically they differ from
today's control systems. Unicon­trol
is not intended to be the "ul­timate
control," but it illustrates
the design freedom that would
be available through elimination
of the conventional steering col­umn
and wheel.
The stick may be moved in any
direction about its pivot, with a
two-inch travel in any direction
from center. It is spring centered

and the driver exerts only one
pound of pressure to move it. It
is also damped to prevent it from
oscillating or wobbling when it
is released. Wires are the only
connection between the control
stick and the steering, throttle
and brakes. An electric computer
and a hydraulic power supply
comprise the rest of the system.
The electric computer deter­mines
the correct front wheel
angle from the stick command
signal and the car speed. The
wheel position is determined by
a hydraulic servo. In one experi­mental
car a second electrical
steering system is used to provide
more fool-proof operation.
SAFETY FEATURES
Some interesting and highly
desirable safety features may be
noted, such as:
1. Car motion- "feedback" to the
driver. For instance, if the car
skids,' the inertia of the heavy
knob at the end of the stick pro­vides
a correct iridica'tion of the
way to correct the car's course.
The driver can feel a force on the
stick that "tells" him to correct
his direction and pull the ve­hicle
out of a skid or swerve.
2. What engineers call "pendu­lum
stability." Among other
things, this stabilizes a vehicle
whenever it is buffeted by side
winds or other external distur­bances,
such as road bumps or
shocks, and keeps it on a straight
path.
3. Only small motions are nec­essary
to control the car. Thus, in
parking or low speed driving,
short movements of the stick are
sufficient to maneuver a vehicle,
and at high speeds these same
movements can be made without
throwing the car into a skid.
Only a few years ago this sys­tem
was a mere idea in the mind
of an engineer, yet today it is a
reality whose' convenience y'ou
may soon be able to enjoy. And
in looking ahead", who knows but
that the day will arrive when
you can get into your car and
travel almost anywhere in com­plete
comfort and safety by sim­ply
pushing a single button.

Student Song Writer, Guitar Player
Hopes To Have Two Songs Recorded
By Paul Spahos
When knighthood was in
flower, t r o u b a d o r s went
around with their lutes mak­ing
people merry. Auburn,
too, has a troubador and ac­cording
to the girls at Alumni
Hall, whom he often enter­tains,
he literally shakes the
floor when he plays there.
Bobby Mike White, singer, mu­sician,
song writer, and Auburn
student is a junior in the School
of Business Administration. "I
sing because, it makes me happy
to see people enjoying them­selves,"
says this native of Hart-
«elle, Alabama.
SONG AUTHOR
Bobby is the author of two
songs, "The Indispensable Man"
and "Put Your Hand in Mine."
He is corresponding with the
president of the Tune Recording
Company in Florence, and hopes
to get his songs recorded some­time
this summer. "The Indis­pensable
Man" which took about
« month to write, was inspired
by a boy who lived in the same
boarding house with Bobby and
who thought himself very im­portant.
Bobby is equally at home in
any type of music and sings most­ly
rock and roll, popular and
calypso. It is his ambition to be
a professional singer and song
writer.
During the past year, Bobby
has been on Auburn's TV station
several times, and has appeared
at the Eagles Nest on several
occasions. Last fall, he won second
place in a talent contest held in
Opelika.
OLDER BROTHER ,
Bobby gives all the credit for
his ability to play the guitar to
his older brother, Van, who is in
electrical engineering here. His
brother never actually showed
him. how to play, but Bobby
learned by watching him. Two
month's ago Bobby bought a new
Gibson guitar and at present is
giving guitar lessons.
As far as singers are concerned,
Bobby has several favorites. He
is especially fond of Marty Rob-bins,
whom he met and talked
with in Birmingham. He also
likes the individual styles of
Frankie Laine, Perry Como, and
Pat Boone. He feels that Elvis'
popularity will not be hurt by
his being drafted, but helped be­cause
the teenagers sympathize
with his being inducted.
One of Bobby's friends had this
to say, "In his song 'The Indis­pensable
Man' Bobby brings out
the moral that no man is indis­pensable.
This is of course true,
but I think Auburn is a better
place by having such talented
people as Bobby around."

Students Operate
Flying Club On
Business Basis
By Jack Crumpton
A little over four weeks
ago—on April 1 in fact—the
A u b u r n Aero Club held its
first organizational meeting.
It was founded to provide ex­perience
in flying and a know­ledge
of air rules and regu­lations
for those students
whose futures hold, t h e possi­bility
of some form of atfilia-tion
w i t h aviation.
In the short time since its be­ginning,
the club has become an
eificient business organization,
adopted many pertinent regula­tions,
begun proceedings toward
incorporation and purchased two
airplanes. The members and their
officers, totaling seventeen, vis­ualize
the club's prospects for
success to be good, and, with the
aggressive determination the
group possesses, this seems very
likely, according to C o n r ad
Flpres, legal advisor.
SINGLE-ENGINE CRAFT
Both of the airplanes owned by
the club are single-engine, high-wing
ships, with tandem seating.
One of them, a clipped-wing
Aeronca Champion, is undergoing
maintainence prior to being put
into service. The other, a Taylor-craft
DC-65, is in operation and
in almost continuous use by the
members.
The planes are tied down at the
Auburn-Opelika Airport, a field
with two long asphalt runways
and a modern, well equipped ter­minal
building. Under the man­agement
of John Barton, an Au­burn
graduate and former track
star, the airport provides a num­ber
of rental aircraft and a crew
of instructors, all of whom, with
the exception of Mr. Barton, are
at present students at API.
CLUB OFFICERS
The officers of the club are
Alan Reeves, president; Bud
Smith, vice-president; Jug Wil­son,
secretary; John Gammage,
treasurer; Conrad Florcs, legal
advisor, and Ray Wiseman, main-tainance
officer.
In order to achieve and main­tain
membership in the club, an
expenditure of $125.00 in the
form of an initiation fee and
$2.50 a month dues are required
in addition to the approval, of .the
club. Rates for flying the--mrcraft:-
are a flat $2.50 an hour. Tlie'ini-tiation
fee is used in the pur­chase
of new planes. The dues
are used for operating expenses
and maintainence. An interesting
feature of the initiation fee is
that, should a member wish to
withdraw, he may regain it by
selling it to an individual who
wishes to join.
FUTURE PLANS
Even after having accomplished
so much in so short a time, these
men are not even considering
sitting back and resting on their
laurels. They plan to acquire as
soon as possible at least one more
airplane, to finish the incorpora­tion
proceedings, to gain official
recognition from the institute
and make every effort to stimu­late
an interest in aviation among
the people of the plains.

Chi Omega Observes
Annual Founder's Day
The Alpha Beta chapter of Chi
Omega recently celebrated the
founding of Chi Omega at a ban­quet
held at the Chicken House
in Opelika. The guest speaker for
this occasion was Mr. E. Jay
Brumfield.
A trophy was p r e s e n t e d to
Daisy Golson for being the Most
Outstanding Senior girl. Other
presentations were: Carol Story
—most outstanding big sister
award; Brenda Pope—best little
sister award and Glenda Plun-kctt—
model pledge.
THE THREE TRENDS in men's wear since the end of World
War II as described by Playboy's Frederic Birmingham are the post­war,
very wide, heavily-padded suit; the Ivy Look, and the Con­tinental
fashion. Birmingham predicts that the elegant, slim Con-tcntal
style will slowly replace the Ivy Look.

AFROTC Riflemen4
Win Third Place
In National Match
Auburn's AFROTC rifle team
is the third place winner in a na­tion-
wide match sponsored by
the Secretary of the Air Force.
AFROTC teams from 170 colleges
compete annually in the match.
Members of the API team are
the following: John Garrett,
Montgomery; Donald Saunders,
Birmingham; Roy L. Mims, Ope­lika;
Theron J. May, Moultrie,
Ga.; Sam Armistead, Ramer, Jo­seph
Rutland, Fitzpatrick; Wayne
t A. Lightsey, Mobile; James Tice,
; Columbus, Ga.; Larry McLennan,
| Dothan, and Connie A. Allen, Mo­bile.
With all the attention on wom­en's
fashion trends and the ris­ing
popularity of the sack dress,
often little attention is given to
the latest fashion trends for men.
According to Frederick A. Bir­mingham,
fashion director of
Playboy, Ivy League styles for
men are on their way out. Tak­ing
their place will be the ele­gant,
slim Continental style.
Just what will the new look
consist of? According to Birming­ham,
the shoulders will be less
padded and more natural looking
and will lose the pear-shaped ap­pearance
of the Ivy look. A few
inches may be cut off the jacket
length, the lapel may broaden a
Two Fellowships
In Physics Offered
To Juniors, Seniors
Applications are invited from
qualified persons for the Herbert
Charles Ryding Fellowships in
Physics. Two awards are made
annually to outstanding juniors
or seniors pursuing work for
bachelor degrees in physics or
engineering physics. The chosen
recipients will receive substan­t
i a l financial aid in the form of
grants from the Herbert Charles
Ryding Fellowship Fund.
The trust fund was originally
established nine years ago by
Mrs. Eva Comer Ryding (Mrs.
Herbert Charles Ryding) as a
memorial to her husband for aid
to worthy students in the field
of physics.
Applications for these awards
may be obtained from the office
of the Physics Department.
2,000 Students
Attend Spring
Show Performances
The 1958 Spring Show, "Leave
It To The Girlsj" proved a suc­cess
as over 2,000 people were
present during the four night run.
Spring Show has become the
only activity on campus except
athletics that draws more than a
fourth of the student body.
Originally the plan for Spring
Show was to have a story about
an Auburn student, but this year
the entertainment committee de­cided
to make Spring Show more
like a broadway production be­cause
Skit Nile and Village Fair
activities are usually based
around an Auburn student.
Hi Fi recordings were made
by Jeff Whatley of all the music.
Anyone wishing to buy any of
these recordings can get in touch

will, of course, give trousers a
longer, leaner look. Tapered
trousers, fancy pockets on the
more dashing versions, and some­thing
of a nip in the waist . . .
all these are to be expected in
the new style.
How permanent will this Con­tinental
style be? Says Birming­ham:

Paul Hemphill-
There's a story behind
Jeff Beard's 'not guilty9
To clarify a point . . .
There are a good many unfortunately sad things about the
fourth probation (it's still, remember, only a POSSIBLE fourth)
hanging over the Auburn athletic head.
To be sure, one is the unerasable dark mark left beside the
name of college football and its ways. You have, I'm sure, realized
that by now.
The probationary sword of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association has also left a wound on the soul of a 19-year-old
father-quarterback who'll live with the thing long after you and
I have forgotten. Don Fuell will remember that one.
And it seems almost trite, right here, to mention that Auburn
suffers, also, by a restriction in athletic activities.
But to me there's another bit of sadness left behind in the wake
of the NCAA—and you and me—when we took it for granted that
the Auburn answer of "Not guilty" was nothing more than a pan­icked,
spur-of-the-moment defensive effort.
Maybe we should stop right now. in the middle of the mess,
and consider it:
Blindly, we've called Jeff Beard a liar.
i I, you and the NCAA . . . we've all doubted the honesty of a
man whose word, always, has been like gold to the people who
know him.
And that, to me (again), is the major injustice administered
so far in the case of Auburn vs. The World . . . the subconscious
bu t nevertheless-present—denunciation of a gentleman who all
his life has represented the utmost in integrity . . . and honesty.
Maybe, by now, the point needs illustration:
Two years ago, when they told Auburn Athletic Director
Beard one of his coaches had given twin brothers $500 each to play
for Auburn, there was no dramatic, holier-than-thou, "Who, me?",
from the Auburn Field House.
Quietly, before answering to the charge, Jeff Beard went
about to find an answer . . . to satisfy himself, deep down, if he
were guilty or riot guilty.
He found himself guilty as charged, he admitted it by saying
not a word in defense of himself.
Chronologically speaking, that's exhibit "A."
"Exhibit "B", you may not be aware of.
The NCAA came calling once more, this time telling Beard
it had found various people down the line giving Don Fuell such

WAS HE A MAN
OR THREE
MICE?
Steve Whittaker was one of
t h e most phenomenal split
personalities on record. Not
content with a mere 1 or 2
distinct personalities, Whit­taker
was split 3 ways. His
analyst's greatest problem was
in deciding which of the 3
Steve Whittakers should be
permitted to survive.
S t e v e Whittaker I was
noisy, rude, and loutish. The
only thing admirable about
him was his Van Heusen walk­ing
shorts which he wore to
each session.
Steve Whittaker II talked
to the analyst while covering
him with a gun. During one
session, as t h e doctor was
staring past the muzzle of the
revolver, he noticed that Steve
was wearing a particularly
attractive sport shirt. Further
inquiry showed it to be a
Van Heusen.
Steve Whittaker I I I was a
playboy. He'd walk into the
office, toss his sweater on the
couch arid talk about country
•iubs and backgammon. He
y
was a total bore. One day,
the analyst noticed that the
label on his sweater read Van
Heusen.
Which of the 3 Whittakers
did the analyst let survive?
The answer is: none of them.
The wise doctor diagnosed that
each of the 3 had only one
redeeming feature—each wore
one Van Heusen leisure wear
garment. So he created a fourth
Steve Whittaker. This last had
the walking shorts of the first,
the shirt of the second, and
the sweater of Whittaker the
third. He was a paragon of
style and common sense, and
has been a useful citizen ever
since.
You see, Van Heusen leisure
wear is for your one personality.
I t ' s coordinated. Slacks, shirts,
walking shorts, leisure jackets
all designed to go together
perfectly and give you a won­derful,
unified look. At better

gifts as a car, an outboard motor and a lavishly furnished apart­ment.
That was on Monday, April 21, 1958, 1:15 p.m.
Jeff Beard said "thank you," hung up the receiver and busily
but quietly went to work.
A quick call to Lawyer Robert Brown followed, with instruc­tions
NOT to hurry over and build a defense, but to "see if you can
find us guilty."
Don Fuell was taken in a room, placed in a chair and grilled
by Brown as if he were a convict.
Skilled in the ways of his trade, Lawyer Robert Brown worked
unmercifully on frightened, badly-shaken Fuell for hours. This time,
there were no uncovered details to be revealed.
The same continued up and down the line. For everybody
possible capable of lending a helping, ilegal hand, there were ques­tions
. . . relentless, brutally-frank questions.
When Brown was through, Jeff Beard—now himself sure of it
—rose and gave the world his answer to the charge he had earlier
feared:
"We are not guilty."
Knowing how the answer was come by, I believe it now.

THE ENGINEERS HAVE HAIRY EARS
Today in this age of technology when engineering graduates are
wooed and courted by all of America's great industries, how do
you account for the fact that Rimbaud Sigafoos, who finished
at the very top of his class at M.I.T., turned down hundreds of
attractive job offers to accept employment as a machinery
wiper at the Acme Ice Company at a salary of $20 a week with
a twelve-hour day, a seven-day week, and only fifteen minutes
for lunch?
w£^lm^MSm Ttobtdwtwl&f"'
I know what you are thinking: "Cherchez lafemme!" You are
thinking that Mr. Acme, head of the Acme Ice Company, has
a beautiful daughter with whom Rimbaud is madly in love and
he took the job only to be near her.
Friends, you are wrong. It is true that Mr. Acme does have
a daughter, a large, torpid lass named Clavdia who spends all
her waking hours scooping marzipan out of a bucket and staring
at a television set which has not worked in some years. Rim­baud
has not the slightest interest in Clavdia; nor, indeed, does
any other man, excepting possibly John Ringling North.
So how come Rimbaud keeps working for the Acme Ice Com­pany?
Can it be that they provide him with free Marlboro
Cigarettes, and all day long he enjoys that filter, that flavor,
that flip-top box?
No, friends, no. Rimbaud is not allowed to smoke on the job,
and when he finishes his long, miserable day, he has to buy his
own Marlboros, even as you and I, in order to enjoy that
estimable filter, that incomparable flavor, that crazy flip-top box.
Well, friends, you might as well give up because you'll never
in a million years guess why Rimbaud works for the Acme Ice
Company. The reason is simply this: Rimbaud is a seal!
He started as a performing seal in vaudeville. One night on
the way to the Ed Sullivan show, he took the wrong subway.
All night the poor mammal rode the B.M.T., seeking a helping
hand. Finally a kindly brakeman named Ernest Thompson
Sigafoos rescued the hapless Rimbaud.
He toota^Rimbaud home and raised him as his own, and
Rimbaud, to show his appreciation, studied hard and got ex­cellent
marks and finished a distinguished academic career as
valedictorian of M.I.T.
Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, but
through all those years of grammar school and high school and
college, he darn near died of the heat! A seal, you must remem­ber,
is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can imagine
how poor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropical New York
and Boston, especially in those tight Ivy League suits.
But today at the Acme Ice Company, Rimbaud has finally
found a temperature to his liking. He is very happy and sends
greetings to his many friends.

The play, you might say, is
ready to begin.
For more than 60 days now
the co-stars—Auburn's Tiger
and Florida's Gator —have, as
it has developed, been merely
rehearsing for the thing.
Friday at 2:30 and Saturday
at 2, with pretty Plainsman Park
for a stage, the fun ends. It'll
be replaced, surely, by the much
more serious business of win­ning
an Eastern Division South­eastern
Conference baseball title.
The week end promises to be
a most interesting one . . . for
a number of reasons.
First, of course, is the coveted
championship that's sure to be
taken home by sombeody. There
will be no deadlocks this time.
Veteran Dave Fuller's Gators,
standing 11-1 SEC-wise, can do
the trick by taking either of
the two-game, two-day set.
On the other hand, rookie
Auburn Coach Joe Connally's
Tigers must sweep both ends of

Roberts, the 18-year-old from
Chattanooga, clips along with a
league-leading 1.53, while large
bespectacled Koch follows at

At the plate, Florida's bright­est
hope is second baseman Ber-nie
Parrish, who leads the club

the series to bring home the ba­con.
Unpredictable Auburn, tak­ing
its lumps lately, is 10-3 in
conference action.
With two wins, the Tigers
would climb on top by half a
game since they play one more
conference game than Florida.
Outside the scrap for the ti­tle,
which has to rate top bil­ling,
there's also a more per­sonal
battle to be won.
Each club owns half of the
four finest rookie righthand­ers
to come down the SEC trail
in many a year. With each slated
for duty one day or the other,
somebody's sure to be called
the finest ever.
Florida offers sophs Ray Oes-tricher
(5-0) and Don Mc-
Creary (3-1). Both lead their
club with ERA'S of 2.46 and
3.68, respectively.

And When Football Seasons Over,
The Man Said, There's Always Golf
BY RONNIE McCULLARS
Assistant Managing Editor
Bryant Harvard, the guy who
finished football spring train­ing
not long ago dealt golf
courses over the SEC much
agony as he traveled the links
in par and sub-par rounds.
The blond athlete f r om
Thomasville, Ga. excells in any
sport he participates in. Not only
is he a standout in football —
quarterback for Shug's second
team and ranked as one of the
six best signal callers in the
SEC—but he is also one of the
fastest runners for the Big
Blue.
His slraight-dovvn-thc-field
fairway tee s h o t s kept
him in the No. 1 position on
Bill Park's golf team. Harvard
has been medalist for the Au­burn
linksters on six consecu­tive
occasions.
On top of all this, he's a
sophomore and will be around
for some time to give Auburn
opponents considerable trouble
on the gridiron as well as on
the links. BRYANT HARVARD

Netters Hit Road For
As Golfers Finish With
SEC Meet
8-6 Mark
By RONNIE McCULLARS
Assistant Managing Editor
Tennis coach L u t h e r Young
takes his ill-fated Tiger net-men
to Baton Rouge, La. this
Thursday to compete in the
SEC tournament for the thir­t
e e n t h time under his direc­tion.
Lately the Auburnites
have not fared too well in
this tourney, but hopes are
high for Phil Adams and
Howell Hagan to pull the Tig­ers
through in singles com­petition
and Eddie Miller and
Bobby Jackson to do t h e same
i n doubles action.
For the first time in Auburn
history, the freshman team will
participate in the SEC Freshman
Tournalment. The undefeated
Auburn frosh could bring home
the bacon from Baton Rouge if
they continue to play as they
did this season.
George Bagwell and Jim Da­vis
will be the Baby Tigers sin­gles
players and Bill Wilson and
Tommy Sapp are a threat in
doubles competition.
Auburn's golfing Tigers ended
'58 action with the SEC tourney
at Athens, Ga., Saturday as they
finished in the lower division of
the conference.
In the combined Southern In­tercollegiate
and Southeastern
Conference tourney, A u b u rn
managed to place one golfer in
Saturday's final round—Johnny
Gross was Auburn's lone hope.
Gross's final 308 was 21 strokes
behind SEC winner T o m my
Aaron of Florida who posted a
fine 287 for 72 holes.
Georgia's Hugh Royee finished
second with 288 and Bob Shave
of FSU placed third with 291.
Alabama's Jackie Maness was in
the top twenty of the field.
North Texas State ace, Dick
Whetzel captured the SIC for the
second season in a row over the
tough Athens Country Club
