By Lynn Jones
"The Best of Steinbeck", the second fall quarter presen­tation
by the API Lecture and Concert Series was offered
Wednesday night, Nov. 14, to a crowd that all but overflowed
the Student Activities Building.
The production was, as the
name implies, a series of vig­nettes
adapted from the best nov­els
of John Steinbeck. Selections
'were included from the novels,
Cannery Row, Tortilla Flat, Of
Mice and Men, Pastures of Heav­en,
and the Pulitzer Prize Win­ning
Grapes of Wrath.
The competent cast included in
the program a dramatic episode
from Grapes of Wrath, portray­ing
the soft side of a hard-boiled
waitress. Another sketch, strict­ly
for laughs, was lifted from
Tortilla Flat, Steinbeck's broad
satire of life in a sleepy Spanish
California town.
Another highly dramatic psy­chological
short story exposed the
childhood memories of a school­teacher
who was destroyed by
them. This selection came from
Pastures of Heaven.
Of Mice and Men contributed
the last vignette of the evening,
and the one that seemed to get
the most reaction from a highly
reactive audience. Robert Strauss
played another "Animal"-like role
to perfection. The selection con­sisted
of three scenes linked to-
Faculty Follies Set
For Tuesday Night,
To Aid Fund Drive
Faculty Follies, a hilarious ben­efit
show featuring Auburn fac­ulty
members, will climax the all
campus Fund Drive in the Union
Ballroom Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 8
p.m.
The Follies will be centered
around a fashion show of women's
apparel to.be modeled by some of
the most curvaceous male models
on campus and promises to offer
an evening of enjoyment for all.
The cast of models includes such
lovelies as Jim Foy, Rev. Joel Mc-
David, Bill Eden, Joe Sarver, C.
P. Anson, Frank Davis, J. D. Sam-ford,
Charlie Simmons, Lewis
Brackeen, Clyde Cantrell, Jude
Robinson and others. *»
Also in the show will be a group
of outstanding entertainers. Head­ing
the talent will be "Kitty"
Cater and her chorus line of
quadrangle house mothers. Others
to be featured include song stylist
John Williams playing guitar and
singing folk songs, that famous
man of the keyboard Hubert Liv-erman,
and a group of fraternity
house mothers who will be spot­lighted
in a skit.
F. E. Guyton, zoology professor,
will emcee the show.
. Tickets are 50 cents and may be
purchased now from memers of
the Student Union Activities
Committee, Room 306 in the Union
Building, or at the door on per­formance
night.
gether: the dream-the-murder-the
kill. A huge gorilla of a man,
(Strauss) likes soft things: mice,
rabbits, a girl's long hair. But in
his effort to show affection, the
big man's hands destroy the very
object of his love. This is fine un­til
he gets to the girl—she is the
boss's wife. When the poor mon­ster
realizes that he has strangled
her to death, he runs in confusion
to a glade in the Woods. There
he is found by his best and only
friend, who feels compelled to
shoot him before the bloodhounds
come.
The sound effects used through­out
the evening were so well used
that elaborate stage settings were
unnecessary.
Constance established a record
in her phenomenal success story
by asking for and receiving $30,-
000 a week for 5 weeks for a
picture, after making only four
previous movies. She became
Hollywood's first woman produc­er
with "Paris Underground", and
has been on a recent nightclub
tour; but proved this week that
she hasn't forgotten how to act.
Others of the cast may have
been familiar to students watch­ing.
Robert Strauss will be best
remembered by his role of "Ani­mal"
in "Stalag 17." He will al­so
be recalled as the rug sales­man
in "The Seven Year Itch,"
and by his parts in "The Bridges
of Toko-ri", several Dean Mar­tin-
Jerry Lewis films, and num­erous
TV shows.
Tod Andrews has played in a
number of movies, but is best
known for his stage work. He has
had leading roles in "Mr. Rob­erts,"
"Summer a n d Smoke,"
Frank McHugh, the last member
of the cast, has been in the theater
since he was a child. He has play­ed
parts in possibly hundreds of
plays and at "least 125 movies.
Movie goers will remember his
face if not his name, whether they
saw him as a priest in "Going My
Way," as "Oiwin" in "Three Men

Aspiring Swimmers
Must Climb Fence
To Memorial Pond
Aspiring throw-people-iri-
Memorial-Ponders will have
to climb two fences to'
do so, at least until the end
of next week, reports the
Building and Grounds staff.
Two temporary fences have
been erected, a high one
around the whole of Ross
Square, and a lower one
around Memorial Pond. These
fences will serve two pur­poses.
First they will protect
the students and faculty of
API while the landscaping
is being done. Post-holes and
trenches can be dangerous.
After all the trees, shrubs,
and flowers are set in, the
fences must still be left up
for a short while to protect
the plants and give them a
good start, says B and G. It
may be two weeks or more
before they are taken down
and Ross Square looks "fin­ished."

Marine Interviews
Capt. H. L. Litzenberg, USMC,
will be on campus Monday
through Wednesday, Nov. 19-21,
to discuss United States Marine
Corps officer candidate pro­grams.
Included in these is the
Platoon Leaders Class program.
All interested persons may con­tact
Capt. Litzenberg in the
NROTC office in Broun Hall on
the above dates.
Dames Take Pot Luck
The API Dames Club will
have a pot luck supper Wed­nesday
night, Nov. 14 in the
Methodist Church basement a
6:30. All Dames and families are
expected to come and bring a
covered dish.
You Want'a Go (Early), Deans Say No
Pack that suitcase . . . get set
.*:>',. but don't cut a class to go
home before noon of next Wed­nesday.
A premature start on the
Thanksgiving holidays could cost
you five per cent of your final
grade, and your average might
suffer by the same amount if you
prolong that weekend and fail to
show up for Monday classes.
The council of deans is authoriz­ing
the reduction in final grade
in an effort to stem the number
of class cuts the day before and
that following Thanksgiving holi­days.
Our present half day of classes
on the Wednesday preceeding
Thanksgiving dates back to a 1951
student committee recommenda­tion.
Up until that time the holi­day
had begun at the end of the
class day on Wednesday, and the
faculty found attendance sparce
during the afternoon.
The student committee blamed
the poor afternoon attendance on
the fact' that many students were
faced with the temptation of ac­cepting
an early ride home—even
though it meant cutting a class—
or missing out on a ride home al­together.
The students recom­mended
a, half day of classes with
five per cent for cuts as a remedy
for this.
The plan has worked so well
that the council of deans has re-adopted
it each year for lack of a
better answer to the problem.
Drive Group Notes
Donation Slack
In Recent Days
The All Campus Fund Drive
is nearing its culmination
this week. Much progress has
been made toward the goal
of $2,500, but there is still a
need for more students to
give donations within the few
remaining days of the drive
to attain the goal, according
to the Drives Committee.
On the first days of the drive
donations were exceptionally
good, but there was a slack in
donations later; reports the com­mittee.
The total amount of money
donated up to Tuesday Nov. 13
stands at $1250.
Four events are planned for
the next few days in connection
with the fund drive. These are
the Kappa Alpha Theta slave
auction this afternoon at 3 o'­clock
in the womens quadrangle,
AIO's Holiday Shindig slated for
next Tuesday, Circle K's draw­ing
for a date with Auburn's
Miss Homecoming and, winding
things up, the "Faculty Follies"
Tuesday night. A football signed
by Tiger gridders will be given
away at this last event.
Two tickets to the War Eagle
Theatre and two steak dinners
at Mrs. Nelson's will be given
to the student guessing the total
amount that will be collected
during the drive.
Special events planned for the
last weekend received support
from the students, but contribu­tions
fell short of the amount
hoped for. One hundred and
fourteen dollars was- made by
the Circle K Club in the "change
race" last Saturday, while the
Phi Kappa Tau shoe shine made
$97 for the drive.
Magnolia Hall has donated ap
proximately $300.
Members of the Drive's Com
mittee are Lewis Anderson, At­lanta;
Patsy Curry, Anniston;
Tom Brakefield, Warrior; Mur­ray
Echols, Birmingham; Tom
Varner, Atlanta ;Katherine Woot-en„
Covington, Tenn.; Dave By
ars, Birmingham, and Patsy Bar
ry, Birmingham.
Donations from the drive will
go to six organizations. They are
the American Heart Association,
American C a n c e r Association,
World University Service, Cere­bral
Palsy Association, Crusade
for Freedom, and the Auburn
Community Chest.

Coeds Satisfied
With WSGA Rule
By Tom Duke
Plainsman Pollster
Results of a recent poll tak­en
by The Plainsman with re­gard
to tlie WSGA drinking
rule for coeds indicate that
more girls here are satisfied with
the rule as it now stands—than
want modification.
Almost 700 coeds on the campus
were polled to determine the'gen-eral
feelings here on coed drink­ing.
A column appearing in The
Plainsman several weeks ago rais­ed
the question of what coeds
think of the present regulation as
it now stands.
The regulation, as found in the
WSGA handbook, Co-Ettiquette,
states that API women are not al­lowed
to drink in Auburn or while
attending colege activities off the
campus, which include football
weekends and fraternity house
parties.
Questions put to residents of
college dormitories werei (1) Do
you think that college coeds are
capable of deciding individually
whether or not to drink? (2) Do
you favor some modification of
the above rule, with some con­trol
provided to prevent exces­sive
drinking? (3) Do you favor
complete abolishment of the
rule? (4) Do you think the rule
should stand as is?
Coeds voted overwhelmingly
against complete abolishment of
the rule. Voting on a change or
leaving the rule as is was more
close. Question 1 drew very few
dissenters as 83.0 per cent said
that coeds are capable of. making
this decision and 10.0 per cent
said that they are not. Seven per­cent
abstained. More answered in
the negative than were expected
to and a possible misunderstand­ing
of the question is indicated.
Under the present set-up women
are allowed to make this decision
through their representation in
WSGA.
Here are the results for ques-

John Nettleton wants to know
How would a
graduate degree
affect my chances
for advancement
at Du Pont?
\
John C. Nettleton'expects to receive his B.S. in chemical engineer­ing
from Villanova University in June 1957. He has served as presi­dent
of the student chapter of A.I.Ch.E., and as secretary of Phi
Kappa Phi fraternity. John is now wondering about the pros and
cons of advanced study in his field.
Bob Buch answer?
Robert J . Buoh, M.S., Ch.E., came to the Engineering Devel­opment
Section of Du Pont's Grasselli Research Division from
the University of Louisville four years ago. Since then, he has
engaged in many kinds of chemical engineering work, from pilot-plant
operation to evaluation of the potential of proposed re­search
programs. Within the last year, Bob has taken the re­sponsibility
of procuring B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. technical gradu­ates
in all phases of chemistry and chemical engineering for the
Grasselli Research Division.
AN advanced degree would undoubtedly have a favorable
effect in technical work, John, but let me enlarge on
that just a little. In your own field (and mine, too) a
higher degree is considered to be evidence of ability in
carrying out original research. It is therefore helpful in
obtaining work in research and development, where that
skill is definitely important. You might say that it gives a
man a head start in proving his ability in those areas.
I t ' s less important in some other areas, though. For
example, in production" or sales work ability for handling
human relationships is just as important for advancement
as technical competence. If ah engineer is sold on pro­duction
Work or sales, a graduate degree in marketing
. or business administration might be more Helpful to him
than advanced technical training in getting started.
But I've noticed this at Du Pont. Once a man lands a
job in his chosen field and actually begins to work, his
subsequent advancement depends more on demonstrated
ability than on college degrees. That's true throughout
the entire company—in scientific work, administration,
or what not.
So an advanced degree is not a royal road to anything
at Du Pont, John. But when coupled with proven abili­ties,
it is unquestionably helpful to a man in research and
development work. I t often gets him off to a faster start.

Atomic Energy Expected To Play
f Important Role At API In Future
Atomic energy is expected to
play an important role in API's
second 100 years which got un­derway
recently. At present, nu­clear
energy is used in research
by the Agricultural Experiment
Station, while a sub-critical re­actor
will soon be put into use by
the physics department.
The Agricultural Experiment
Station presently ' employs nu­clear
energy in experiments con­ducted
by the departments of
agronomy and soils, animal hus­bandry
and nutrition, and botany
and plant pathology.
For two years the station's de­partment
of animal husbandry
and nutrition has studied the use
of irradiation for sterilization and
preservation of foods. Cobalt has
been used to irradiate ground
beef to determine the rate of
destruction of B-vitamins and the
possible formation of toxic pro­ducts.
The use of nuclear energy in
experiments is employed by the
departments of agronomy an'd
soils, animal husbandry and nu­trition,
and botany and plant
pathology.
The physics department—in co­operation
with the Atomic Ener­gy
Commission and the Auburn

Dr. David W. Mullins, execu­tive
vice-president, and Dr. Earl
Brown, head, civil engineering,
got a first-hand look at the
atomic energy situation at a con­ference
held by the AEC and
the American Society for Engi­neering
Education in Oak Ridge.
They learned that officials of
AEC feel that the biggest bottle­neck
in the use of atomic energy
for peaceful purposes is the heed
for engineers with the ability to
take atomic findings and make
practical application to engineer­ing
projects. Shortages in all en­gineering
and scientific fields
were stressed.
Taking this into consideration,
President Ralph B. Draughon is
appointing a committee to con­sider
"how we might incorporate
training in nuclear engineering
in our regular curricula, as well
as determine the need for special
courses and specialized laboratory
equipment."

Auburn Cannot Stand Cut
President Ralph Draughon reported
"bad news" to the Auburn board of trus­tees
at the Homecoming meeting. A out
of $400,000.00 in the State appropriation to
API seems inevitable, Dr. Draughon
said. The institution's first quarter ap­propriation
for the current fiscal year al­ready
has been pro-rated because money
in the Alabama Special Educational Trust
Fund is not sufficient to cover appropria­tions
made by the Legislature.
There is no guarantee that the Legis­lature
will provide funds to take up the
slack. That body does not meet until next
spring, anyway, and in the meantime API
must go ahead on a restricted program
tailored to meet the present situation.
As Dr. Draughon told the trustees,
"The plain facts are that we do not have
enough income to handle our present stu­dent
body of almost 8,500.
The administration and the trustees
have no choice but to cut back everywhere
possible.
But let it be said to the everlasting
credit of President Draughon that his
recommendations placed the faculty first.
He outlined a program which .he said will
guarantee that faculty salaries will not be
cut.
H o w e v e r , sorely needed additional
faculty members will not be employed.
Our faculty is set up to handle about a
thousand fewer students than the present
bulging enrollment.
Also, maintenance funds will be dras­tically
curtailed and purchase of all new
equipment—most of it needed for a year or
m o r e _ w i l l have to be delayed until the
Legislature has a chance to remedy the
present situation.
The grim money plight at Auburn be­lies
the optimistic boasts of several state
newspaper columnists and others that, de­spite
the defeat of the Income Tax Amend­ment
last December, education would have
money running out of its ears. Wonder
how these people are going to explain
about the fact that API alone is having its
budget cut back by $400,000.00?
1 It is fervently to be hoped that the
Legislature will come to the aid of Au­burn
and all of public education in Ala­bama
with a practical, realistic program
which will meet the financial crisis. No
function of the state is more important
than the education of its youth. Problems
which vex Alabama will be with us as
long as education is treated as a step­child.
All Auburn needs is the kind of ap­propriation
treatment that such sister
states as Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Ten­nessee
and North Carolina gave their uni­versities
and colleges. That is not to men­tion
bringing API up to the level of the
nation, which is even higher than the
Southeast average.
The challenge is here. Auburn has the
leadership, the dedication, and the ability
to produce for Alabama beyond the dreams
even of the most optimistic. It is a shame
that the lack of only several hundred thou­sand
dollars additional annually—which is
an infinitesimal part of the total state in­come—
stands between Auburn and her op­portunity.
Giving Is Personal Thing
Next Tuesday marks the last day of
the All-Campus Fund Drive here this
year. This drive is the only one conducted
on the campus to raise money for charities
that come to students for aid. If it were
not for this campaign there would be
many individual drives coming to the
campus for money all the time.
Since this is the only drive conducted
here we hope to see it finish up with a
record total of money collected, not only
for the benefit that will be derived by the
charities that are on the list to receive
help but also for our personal „pri«3lf!rl"
Auburn and the spirit that hasa^pways^
existed here toward worthy projects.
At the most recent report that The
Plainsman <was able to- get before press
time the Drives Committee stated that it
was still short of reaching the $2500 goal.
We were a bit disappointed in hearing
the news as we feel that the student body
can do a better job than that. With the
drive closing next week it is time that we
all get out and push to make the goal.
This drive is not only a matter of
group effort but also of individual effort
and of a little personal sacrifice. There are
many in this world of today in dire need
of assistance. If each of us can do our own
part to help these unfortunate people,
then we will all feel a little better about
to foster the Auburn spirit

having done what we can to make the
world a better place in which to live.
Charities these days have long been
undergoing a trend toward doing away
with the personal touch that goes~in'to the
act of giving. So many have become cen­tralized,
and collection is handled through
the mails or by other mass solocitation
methods. The Drives Committee and other
groups have done a great deal of work,
thinking and acting toward making the
fund drive reach its goal. New and origi­nal
ideas have been conceived and put
into play. The individual and his part are
being emphasized. More personal feeling
and sacrifice is coming into the picture.
We hope that with the great deal of
time, study and work that so many are
putting in on this drive that the rest of
the student body will take up the spirit
and GIVE.
Work At Friendliness
The much-touted "Auburn Spirit" al­ways
has manifest itself largely through
on-the-street and on-campus friendliness.
A "howdy" here arid a warm "hi" there
have been as much a part of Auburn as
Samford Tower and Toomer's Corner.
But as API has grown, there has grown
up a little less friendly spirit. That is not
surprising. In a student body of 2,000 you
know most of your classmates and are
on speaking terms with everybody. In a
student body of 8,400 the mere fact of
size makes it impossible to know even
a fourth of the people you run across.
There's one thing about A u b u r n,
though, that wipes out even that stumb­ling
block to friendliness. It is that no­body
here—historically at least—has ever
stood back and failed to speak simply be­cause
he or she had never bumped into a
person before.
So, let's out with the "hey."
Speak to everybody on the street. This
is Auburn, man, not some cold fish place
where the meaning of the "Auburn Spirit"
never made itself felt.
In Defense Of Fences
With the construction of a reflecting
pool and the planting of the Centennial
Gardens in Ross Square fences have again
appeared on the Auburn campus. Our first
thought is that the fences are not attrac­tive,
they detract from the overall appear­ance,
and they get in the way.
There are two reasons for the setting
up of the fences. First, during the plant­ing
of the gardens there will be post
holes, pitts and other dangerous traps ly­ing
around. A fence there during this
period will prevent the unwary student
(or others as it may be) from falling and
perhaps being seriously injured. Second,
young plants shortly after beirig set in the
ground are very sensitive to run-ins with
unthinking students taking short outs.
Compared to. the costs of replacing
the plants ,that will be used to beautify
the square, the cost of putting up the tem­porary
fences is yery small.
L e t t e r s To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
In reference to Miss Rivers'
article entitled "Needed: Think­ing
Students", we would like to
point out the following. The im­portant
things in our lives today
are vastly removed from those
in the lives of Ben Jonson and
his contemporaries. We are more
concerned with the technological
advances and political changes
which tend to affect our entire
way of life than with the aesthe­tic
arts.
This imposed concern causes
the intellectual conversations of
today to be somewhat removed
from those of the 16th and 17th
centuries. Therefore, if Miss Riv­ers
or any other person is seek­ing
an intellectual conversation
along the same lines as those
carried on in the 16th or 17th
century, they must seek it in
circles where an aesthetic rather
than a practical viewpoint pre­dominates.
The above has been an effort
to point out that a discussion of
Einstein's "Theory of Relativity"
is just as intellectual, if not more
so, than one concerning the fine
arts. The whole point of this let­ter
is that intellectual discus­sions
do exist among today's
youth.-
These discussions are not car­ried
on so much in public places
today as they once were, how­ever.
We know from personal ex­perience
that they do exist in
the men't dorms. We are not
qualified, sad to state, to com­ment
op the conversations which
take place in the women's 'dorms.
However, it is reasonable to as­sume
that since they have equal­ity
on all other things, they also
have equal intelligence and equal
interest in the world about them.
This intelligence and interest
should lead to. the same type
conversations.
Apparently Miss Rivers gave
little or no forethought to the
writing of her article, or she as­sociates
with a minority group on
this campus which has either a
lack of interest in controversial
subjects or lacks the mental ca­pacity
to discuss them intelli­gently.
We would like to suggest that
in the future Miss Rivers either

Yes, I believe in prayer. Prayer

Tribute To Auburn Players
We are very fortunate, here at
Auburn, in having so fine a dra­matic
group as the Auburn Play­ers.
So far this fall they have
turned in ercellent performances
in "Twelfth Night," which played
a few weeks ago, and in the cur­rent
"My Sister Eileen." Both are
outstanding examples of college
drama at its best.
The Players do excellent work
off stage as well as on—their sets,
lighting and all other technicalities
of the business match the high
standard that their acting has set
on stage. The renovating job that
they have done on the old Player's
Theatre is nothing short of fabu­lous.
Now you no longer has to
suffer to see a good play.
In short, backstage as well as
out front, the Players are better
than ever.
BY MERCER HELMS
If you are interested in seeing a
first rate group in action, it is
most sincerely recommended that
you take time off to see "My Sist- .
er Eileen," which will be present­ed
for the last time tonight, at the
Player's Theatre, at 8:15 p.m.

On the evening of Nov. 20, we
will have an opportunity to' view
entertainment that we suspect will
be a little out of the ordinary. As
a climax to the All Campus Fund
'Drive, the faculty will present a
show for the students entitled,
"The Faculty Follies."
We don't know exactly what
they are going to do, but the gen­eral
feeling is that it will be a
variety type of show. It should
be very amusing. Rumor had it
that Dean Cater will dance a Can

Something Missing
Guts is a rare commodity
these days. But is revives your
faith in human nature to see the
Hungarians courageously stand
up against Russian tyranny.
Many of those patriots are col­lege
students and teenagers who
are willing to die in the streets
for their cause.
Over , 12,000 Hungarians have
already crossed over into Aus­tria
in flight from Russian at­tack.
A relief fund for those
refugees is being handled by the

with headquarters at 62 West

Maybe we can't help them

But do not feel sorry for them;
the students conducted a vote

The Republican invasion of the

Since few students like the idea
of marching to the drill field, we
must become more safety con­scious
around the area adjacent
to Vet. Hill. Unless the cadets
become more careful about cross­ing
the streets in that section,
someone might get involved in a
serious accident. I assure you,
the situation is dangerous.

that He has never failed to answer
a prayer yet.
It is through constant contact
with God that we will discover
what the future has in store be­cause
the Master has a definite
plan for each of us. Many people
may feel that prayer is of no
value, but if that were true, men
would not have continued the ha­bit
of praying through all these
centuries. Ever since the begin­ning
of time, man has sought a
way to find peace in a world of
turmoil. Prayer is that peace.
Only last Sunday I had the
privilege of hearing two young
men give their testamonies about
how much prayer has meant to
t h e m . Everywhere you go,
you will find Christian men and
women telling of the power of
prayer. College students, perhaps,
more than anybody, need to pray.
With the many temptations and
decisions which face us as stud­ents,
there is need for guidance
from above
When we were little children
we „
Were taught to kneel and pray
If only for protection at
The closing of the day.
We were not hesitant at all
In telling God our needs
Or asking Him to pardon us
For our mischievous deeds.
But as the years went by and
we
Began to grow in size
We let our thoughts and lips
grow lax
In keeping up those ties.
Or maybe we grew bashful
when
We could not be alone
And felt that prayer was
something we
Had gradually outgrown.
And yet it was-so obvious
There is no shame in prayer
And we should pray each night
and day
To show Him that we care.
—James Mitcalfe
Why not make prayer a natural
part of your life by resolving to
talk to God everyday. I believe
the old saying. "Prayer changes
things." Do you?
OUTDOOR LORE
A few ducks are appearing on
the scene here in Alabama des­pite
the truant cold weather.
Last weekend I journeyed to
Montgomery and made a few ex­cursions
into the wilds there­about.
Many small flocks of mal­lards
and wood ducks were seen,
along with a few cinnamon and
blue wing teal. I was somewhat
surprised at the relatively small
numbers of teal seen as compar­ed
to the numbers of mallard and
wood ducks. Teal are about the
first ducks we Alabamians have
to visit our rivers, creeks, lakes
and ponds each season. I've seen
many teal on farm ponds as
early as August. Of course many
of this specie of ducks will take
a liking to a particular body of
water and make that place their
home.
The legal season on ducks,
megansers, geese, and brant opens
November 7 and extends through
January 1. The bag limit on ducks
and megansers is four a day or
eight in possession, not to in­clude
over one hooded meganser
in possession at any one time.
The bag limit on geese and brant
is five a day, five in possession

The Senate met yesterday. It
was the second meeting for our
new freshman senators, Bill Ham

upper classmen have considered
letting the lowly freshman express
themselves yet. . .
Finally, the All Campus Fund

European Schools Contrast With U.S.
By Harold Grant
Plainsman Exchange Editor
In addition to keeping you up
to date on all the happenings here
at Auburn, The Plainsman would
like to enable its readers to look
in on other college campuses
around the world. We will do this
by reprinting the interesting fea­tures
and news items that we find
in the many college newspapers
that come into our office each
week from all over the U.S. and
several foreign countries.
* * *
In looking through the papers
this week, we found an-interest-ing
article in the University' of
South Carolina "Gamecock" which
described the college life in Eur­ope.
This article was concerned
with Dr. M. B. Seigler, S.G. Eng­lish
professor, who had spent the
past academic year as a Fulbright
professor in Germany teaching
20th Century American Literature
at the Foreign Institute of the
Johannes Gutenburgh University
of Mainz.
Dr. Seigler contends that Euro­pean
professors and students dif­fer
sharply from their American
counterparts. "In European Uni­versities,
students have no re­quirements
for class attendance,
and professors are not nearly so
available for consultation as here."
"There are no quizzes, tests or
periodic examinations, but at the
end of their academic studies,
lasting either three or four years,
students undergo a series of long
and difficult inclusive examina­tions,"
says Dr. Seigler.
"No class rolls are kept and
continental professors s e l d om
know a student by name. Class­room
discussions are relatively
unknown since teaching is almost
entirely by formal lecture."
Dr. Seigler gave most of his lec­tures
in English, for German Uni­versity
students, equivalent to
graduate students here, all speak
and read English. They begin
studying a foreign language on
the comparative level of our fifth
grade, and by the end of their sec­ondary
schooling can speak two
languages in addition to German.
German students are excellent
because higher education in Ger-,
many entails a careful weeding
process of students. University
training there includes only those
who have proved themselves out­standing,
according to Dr. Seigler.
'^Students .are, courteous,, eager
"to Zearn, «ndustEious: and well-in­formed.
Particularly is there a
deep regard for A m e r i c an
thought." • •
Doctor Seigler reports t h at
American language, literature, and
culture are clearly differentiated
from their English counterparts.
At the University of Mainz there
are two separate department, Eng­lish
and American. Wolfe, Faulk­ner
and Hemingway are favorite
authors of European students, and
Faulkner is regarded as the
world's greatest living writer.
Campus life is different abroad,
Dr. Seigler noted. There is far
greater personal independence for
students there. School terms are
shorted and studies are more con­centrated.
March and April, and
August through October are holi­day
and vacation periods but many
students remain at their universi­ties
to pursue their studies.
Faculty differences are marked,
too. In contrast to America very
few women are in the field of
teaching. Each professor there
chooses which courses and what
time he will teach.

How do you like European col­lege
life? It's quite a contrast to
our system.

Duck Hunting
including in such two Canada
Geese or two White-Fronted
G e e s e or-one of each. Shoot­ing
time for the aforementioned
game is from half hour before
sunrise to half hour before sun­set.
Duck hunting is perhaps one
of the hardiest sports of the vast
hunting domain. Ask anyone'who
has spent long chilling (or per­haps
I should say "freezing")
hours in a wet duck blind, and
I'm sure he will agree. The long
moments of waiting with frost­bitten
ears, hands, and noses is
hardly ever thought of, however,
when the duck? start dropping in
around one's blind or decqys.
Ducking hunting is another
sport that is attacked from many
angles. The angle from which it
is attacked usually depends up­on
the area in which the attacker
lives. In areas where large lakes,
marshes, or rice fields are found,
blinds, calls and decoys are per­haps
the most widely used means
for putting waterfowl in the bag.
In areas where creeks, swamps,
and small potholes or marshes
can be found, pass shooting and
blind shooting is often the type
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
hunting most often used. On riv­ers
and large creeks, jump shoot­ing
is the favorite form of water­fowl
shooting, and really affords
some exciting shooting.
In jump shooting the shooter
stations himself in the front of
a wide and relatively manuver-able
boat. The paddler of the
boat keeps the boat in close to
the shore line and eases the boat
along as slowly and as quietly
as possible. The shooter must be
ready at all times, for from be­hind
a stump, brushpile, or from
a small cove or inlet the game
may come thundering, heading
for the far beyond.
Relatively little duck hunting
is enjoyed by Alabama hunters.
More shooting is enjoyed by the
Alabamians along the coast and
in Baldwin County than by any
other hunters who hunt within
the state. With the work being
done by the Alabama Department
of Game and Fish, and similar
organizations over the nation and
in Canada, and with the help
and cooperation of -individual
sportsmen, waterfowl shooting
should greatly be improved in
the next decade.

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young engineer
sells million-dollar
equipment to
ALLEN J. CLAY joined General Electric
in 1946 after receiving a B. E. E. from
the University of Virginia in 1945. A
naval officer during World War II,
Clay managed the Charlottesville,
Virginia, office from 1950 to\1955.
Selling electric equipment for a utility sub­station—
a complex unit used in power trans­mission
and distribution—requires extensive
technical knowledge of the products in­volved.
Men who sell such complex equip­ment
must also know a customer's require­ments,
what will best fill his needs, and how
to sell the merits of their products to the
executives who buy such apparatus.
One such man at General Electric is 31-
year-old Allen J. Clay, an apparatus sales
engineer serving the electrical utility com­panies
in the Philadelphia-Allentown area.
Clay's Work Is Important, Diversified
For Clay, technical selling is not a door-to-door
job. As a representative of General
Electric, he must be ready to discuss cus­tomer
needs with vice presidents or help
solve intricate problems with skilled engi-
•eers. His recommendations are based on
i i s own engineering background, and are
backed up by the know-how of the Com­pany's
best application engineers. His in­terest
in working with people carries over
into his community life, where he takes a
part in many local activities—Rotary, Com­munity
Chest, Boy Scouts, and his University
Engineering Alumni Association.
27,000 College Graduates at General Electric
Allen Clay is a well-rounded individual who
has come to be a spokesman for General
Electric wherever he goes. Like each of our
27,000 college-graduate employees, he is be­ing
given the chance to grow and realize, his
full potential. For General Electric has long
believed this: Whenever fresh young minds
are given freedom to make progress, every­body
benefits—the individual, the Company,
and the country.

Georgia Next On Tiger Menu After 27-20 State Victory
New Statistical Records In Making;
Rebs Sing 'Letter Edged In Black'
Despite an inexplicable inability to score which sometimes seems
prevelant among the Tigers, this season's statistics may be among the
E in Auburn grid history. The total offensive yardage average of
344 per game is only slightly less than Auburn's all-tune hxgh of
349.1, set m 1954. Also Tommy Lorino appears certain to top Monk
Gafford's long-standing rushing average.
" Lorino has been running at a pace of 9.3 yards per carry which Is
considerab l y m o r e than Gafford's 7.65 for the 1942 season. However,
the really amazing part of it is that the Bessemer sophomore has p.ck-ed
up a total of 502 yards on less than eight runs per game.
Prior to Homecoming the publicity departments of both Auburn
and Mississippi State played up the game as a scoring racevjand they
turned out to be right. In the last four games between the two teams,
the average total score has been 56 points.
The 1952 game was a 49-34 Maroon victory. Then there was the
never-to-be-forgotten 21-21 tie of 1953, followed by a 27-26^ Tiger
triumph in 1955 after a one year discontinuation of the ser.es. And of
course last week Auburn won again, 27-20.

Those Vols Are Just Plain Good;
Alabama Has Reversed The Form
Our hats are off this week to the Tennessee Volunteers for their
hard fought 6-0 victory over their powerful SEC rival, Georgia Tech.
The two-teams went into the game undefeated with Tech the number
two team in the nation and Tennessee one rung below them m the
eyes of the sports scribes. . , .
The battle was mainly a defensive job with neither team gaming
over 100 yards rushing. Tech's highly publicized backs could never
break into the clear for a shot at paydirt due to the defensive efforts
of such Vol standouts as Bruce Burnham, Bubba Howe, and John
Gordy. '' ,
In return the Yellow Jackets bottled up the Volunteers A l l -
American candidate Johnny Majors all afternoon, except for one
series of downs covering a span of a few minutes. But in this
case a few minutes proved to be a lifetime for Tech as Majors
threw two quick passes to Buddy Cruzo good for 16 and 46 yards.
The latter of the two plays carried the ball to the Engineer one-yard
line, where Tommy Bronson bulled his way over for the T D .
This victory gave Tennessee a record of seven wins and no de­feats
and the top spot in the SEC championship race.
But the greatest laurals came last Tuesday when the Associated
Press voted the Vols as the number one team in the nation. They
were a slim two point favorite over Oklahoma, the leader for the
previous three weeks. •
This feat by Tennessee proves that once again South­eastern
Conference football is the best in the nation; Not only
is their brand of ball playing the best, but the SEC is the strong­est
league in the country year in and year out.
This is proven by the fact that last year a total of four SEC
teams met in major bowls, and this year it seems as if there will be
five who will compete in the bowl picture. Tennessee, Georgia Tech,
Mississippi, and Florida seem almost sure bets to appear in a post
season classic while Tulane and Vanderbilt are outside chances.
Once again we raise our hats in tribute to a great coach—Bowden
Wyatt, a great Athletic Director and sportsman—General Robert Nay-land,
and to a truely great football team—the Tennessee Vols.

Well, they started out by doing just that. The beginning of this
season coupled with the last two years gave the Tiders a string of
19 consecutive games without a win. The future was looking even
dimmer for them when they pulled a come-from-behind 13-12 verdict
over the Mississippi State Maroons.
Seeing a breath of daylight the Tide battled Georgia, the follow­ing
week and managed to lead after three quarters. But in the fourth,
the Bulldogs solved the Tide defense and went on to win 16-13.
Then last week Auburn's arch-rivals pulled one of the pnajor
reverses of the season when they upset the Tulane Green Wave
to the tune of 13-7.
Maybe these upset wins for Alabama will give them the extra
punch needed to overcome one of the top teams in the country this
Saturday—Georgia Tech. At any rate this ball game will be a top
notch affair and the outcome, although at the beginning of the sea­son
was a sure bet, now could be termed as a surprise ending.

60th Renewal
Of Oldest Grid
Rivalry In South
By George Bruner
' . P l a i n s m a n Sports Writer
The oldest grid rivalry in
t h e South will be renewed in
Columbus tomorrow as the
Auburn Plainsmen meet the
Georgia Bulldogs b e f o r e a
sellout crowd of 26,000 in Me­morial
Stadium.
The traditional clash will find
Shug Jordan's squad slightly fa­vored
over a Bulldog aggregation
badly riddled by injuries. How­ever,
the tilt is expected to be a
close one as Coach Wally Butts'
boys will be going all out in an
effort to score their fourth victory
of the season and break Auburn's
three-year mastery over them. In
59 previous games between the
two schools, Georgia holds a 29-
24-6 advantage. Auburn won last
year 16T13 in a'thriller.
So far this year, Georgia has
taken the measure of FSU (3-6),
North Carolina (26-12), and Ala­bama
(16-13). The Georgians'
largest accomplishment of the sea-
BULLDOG MAINSTAYS Laneair (Red) Roberts, Jimmy Orr and Knox Culpepper will all be
ready when Georgia meets Auburn tomorrow. Orr is a halfback and Roberts an end while Culpepper
captains the team and,operates from the fullback slot.

Victorious Volunteers Face Rebels;
Squelched Jackets Take On Tide
By Maurice Hargrove
Assistant Sports Editor
Tennessee, fresh from its tremendous upset of Georgia
Tech, will have no opportunity to rest tomorrow as rebound­ing
Mississippi comes to town with its sights set on smear­ing
the Vols unblemished record and No. 1 national standing.
The Tennesseans have regained, under Bowden Wyatt, the
prestige that was once theirs in a superior performance for the
the days of General Bob Ney.
land, but will be forced to give
son, however, has been their 7-7
deadlock with the powerful Miami
Hurricanes, the only blemish on
the record of the nation's eighth-ranked
team. The Bulldogs have
dropped decisions. to Vanderbilt,
Mississippi State, Kentucky, and
Florida, but have showed flashes
of brilliance even in defeat. The
Tigers following a 27-20 win over
Mississippi State last week, will be
seeking their fifth triumph of the
year.
The Bulldog offense is centered
around a hard-driving fullback,
Captain Knox Culpepper, a senior
from Columbus. He has been
slightly injured throughout the
past few games, however, and has
split playing time with Wilbur
Loftin, a 190-pound junior. Billy
Hearn, a fourth-stringer at the
beginning of fall practice (prob­ably
the best baseball pitcher in
the South), gets the opening call
at quarterback in place of the
hurt Joe Comfort, who is out for
the season. Hearn has done a ter­rific
job for the 'Dogs and has
been the only man to handle of­fensive
quarterback chores dur­ing
the past four games.
Good depth
Georgia has good depth at half­backs,
with George Whitton and
Carl Manning, a pair of pint-sized
sophomores, as the starters back­ed
up by J. B. Davis and Jimmy
Orr.
Orr,- one of the nations', top
punters and pass receivers, has
been out with injuries for a
month, but will possibly be ready
for action tomorrow. Davis, the
160-pound speedster from Gun-tersville,
Ala., is one fo the SEC's
top punt return artists and is a
very dangerous ball carrier! He
hauled kicks back for long scores
against both Miami and Alabama.
Fine ends
Wally Butts continually turns
out fine ends, and this year is no
exception. Roy Wilkins and Red
Roberts are as good a pair of
flankmen as has ever worn the
Red and Black, and with such as
Ken Cooper and Angelo Monti in
reserve, Georgia is set at end.
Wilkins was hurt in the Florida
game and probably will not play
much, if any, tomorrow and will
be replaced by Monti, a senior
letterman. Cooper is the place-kicking
expert and booted field
goals to beat both FSU and Ala­bama.
The Bulldogs' interior linemen
are experienced and hefty, but
bady crippled by injuries. John

handle the dangerous Rebels of

Ole Miss warmed up for its
invasion of Knoxville with1 a 26-0

last week and will be going all
out against the Vols. This is the
last chance for the Rebs, who
were rated with the best in the
land before hitting a mid-season
slump which saw their TD punch
all but vanish in dropping de­cisions
to Tulane and Arkansas,

as one the country's better
aggregations with a 28-0 massacre
of a good Georgia team last Sat­urday
and has a week of rest
in preparation for its showdown
battle for the conference's sec­ond
place slot with Tech in Jack­sonville
next week. The Gators
moved up to the No. 12 position
among the nation's teams while
Tech dropped from second to
fourth after their defeat by Ten­nessee.
In another top SEC clash to­morrow,
Auburn meets Georgia
in Columbus for another renewal
of their ancient rivalry. Last
week, the Plainsmen took a
thrilling 27-20 victory over
Miss. State. The Auburn triumph
was typical of wide open type
games which have featured its
series with State. The Auburn
and Alabama wins were the first
for both schools on the same day
in three years. '

Mississippi State at LSU, Tu­lane
at Vanderbilt, arid Kentucky
at Xavier.

Cook's 33 Yard Pass To Elliott
Provides Auburn Winning Margin
By Don Coughlin
Plainsman Sports Writer
A victory string of 13 straight games in Cliff Hare Sta­d
i um was kept alive when the Tigers downed the Maroons
of Mississippi State 27-20 in one of the most thrilling games
in A u b u r n ' s almost exhausted season last Saturday.
Jimmy Cook's pass to Jerry had to do was run out the clock.
Elliott in the waning minutes of
the fourth quarter iced the game
for the Plainsman. The crowd of
32,000 were kept on their feet all
through the last ten minutes be­cause
of the lightning action of
both teams in forcing the pigskin
across the''goal line. The Maroons
had scored twice in the belting
fourth period on a 63 yard drive
and a march of 29 yards, after a
recovery of a Tiger fumble. Again
the Maroons were on the move for
a winning score when Tommy
Lorino stepped in and intercepted
a Bill Stacy pass to end all hopes
for State and all Howell Tubbs
Auburn took the lead after 13
minutes of the first period on four
plays in 25 yards after State had
stopped a 59 yard drive at the one.
Lorino went off left tackle 17
yards to the eight, Hoppe to the
two and Tubbs carried for six
points, but his extra point was
wide.
After an exchange of five punts,
Lorino punted 26 yards to the State
30 where the ball hit Molly Hal-bert
and was recovered by Ben
Preston. On the next play Lorino
went off right tackle for 30 yards
and a score. Tubbs converted and

'Down The Hill From High Priic-^e±.si
In Childress' Shadow Two Years,
Jim Walsh Now Overshadows Foes
By Paul Hemphill
Plainsman Sports Writer
It can be discouraging at times . . . when you are a better
man than average football player but find yourself riding
the bench because the man ahead of you is an All-American.
Tiger fullback Jim Walsh must
have had this deflated feeling
hundreds of times during the
past two years as he watched
the great Joe Childress run
through Auburn opponents on
his way to national fame.
But now Childress is gone, and
Walsh's patience and waiting
have paid off to the extent that
the rugged senior from Philadel­phia
has suddenly become one
of the top backs in the SEC.
Through last week's clash with
Mississippi State, Walsh had run
up a total of 428 yards in 81
carries, sixth best in the con­ference,
for an average of 5.3
yards per try. Jim had the best
day of his short and limited
career against Houston two weeks
ago when he rolled up 100 yards
in 16 trips to lead the Tigers to
a 12-0 victory over the Cougars.
Walsh's only taste of regular
service before this year was in
the Georgia and Clemson games
toward the end of last year. Sub­bing
for the injured Childress,
he established himself as the best
second string fullback in the
SEC by playing a big part in the
victories over those two teams.
At the end of last season, he was
the fourth leading ground gainer

on the Tiger squad with 230
yards in 37 rushes.
Small, as college fullbacks go,
at 5-10 and 185 pounds, Walsh
is the consistent type runner who
can always be counted on for
yardage when it is needed.' In
those 37 times he carried the
ball last season he lost only one
yard, which is the mark of a good
fullback.
Last spring, after a brilliant
spring training, it looked like
all of Jim's waiting to nail the
starting job at , fullback might
be of no avail. Needing an al­most
impossible number of hon­or
points to become eligible for
football in the fall, he remained
in school for a return bout with
the books and came out on top
with a 2.5 average.in the school
of education . . . proof, again, of
his never-say-die attitude which
is always evident on the grid­iron.
Many may wonder if Jim were
not jealous of Childress's fabu­lous
success which kept him out
of the limelight until his senior
year. For the answer, listen to
what he gives as his biggest
thrill so far in college football—
"That day in '54 when Joe ran
wild and kicked the extra points
that beat Miami in Birmingham."

In The Stands With Williams
(Continued from Page 6)
in a game with Washington Sunday. But i t also marked the first loss
for the Lions, who bowed 18-17 in a real thriller.
* * * * .
Speaking of losses, Ole Miss dropped a 14-0 one to Arkansas, a
lightly regarded, three touchdown underdog, and then put out this
list of excuses (according to our sources at Tennessee):
—"1. Arkansas played with a 12 man team. 2. Ole Miss only carried
ten men to the game. 3. The officials were dirty. 4. The Ole Miss team
had food poisoning. 5. The wind blew only when Ole Miss passed or
kicked. 6. The Ole Miss end of the field was too wet~(dew). 7 .The
Ole Miss team lost their shoes and had to play barefooted."
Our informants also claim that this can be sung to the tune of "The
Letter Edged in Black" and that there would be more words, but the
Rebels used up all the excuses in "The Standard Handbook of Foot­ball
Alibis."
And continuing to speak of los­ses,
wasn't that a duly that Tech
absorbed? Sports writers in Cliff
Hare's press box asked how many
Auburn students resided in the
Volunteer State after the "crowd
murmurs" following the P.A. an­nouncements
about the Tech game
and couldn't believe that 549 (ac­cording
to the registrar) were
making so much noise.
Tech learned the hard way what
Alabama's "Ears" Whitworth had
already pointed out~"The only
way to stop Johnny Majors is with
a shotgun." He should have in­cluded
Buddy Cruze in that state­ment,
but maybe Johnny Vaught
can give us a word tomorrow for
his Rebels meet the Vols in Knox-ville
then.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Tommy Lorino
The "SEC's trickiest runner since the days of Charlie Trippi."
Such are the words of sports writers, fans and generally everybody
in regard to Tommy Lorino, fleet Auburn halfback.
, L'orino, once again proved his excellence on the gridiron last
Saturday as he twisted and weaved his way 83 yards on 7 carries
fact that he scored one TD on a
for an average of 11.9 yards per
carry. This performance, plus the
31 yard„jaunt, earned him the an­nual
Blue Key award as outstand­ing
player of the day.
As one sports writer puts it,
"Every run he makes is a beauty,
as his weaving, turning, stopping
and reversing leaves the opposing
players tackling the air or falling
over themselves."
Thus far this season, the ex-
Bessemer speedster has run the
pigskin 54 times and has a net
total of 502 yards for a 9.3 average
per carry. This is tops for Au­burn
and also puts him very close
to the top of the heap in the SEC.
Lorino also leads his team­mates
in punting with almost a
40 yard average and in punt re­turns
with 94 yards in eight at­tempts.
He also has scored 18 points and has a kickoff return average
of 20.4 yards. ': •'

Tom was probably the most fabulous back ever developed in
Alabama, high' school. He was an All-State,. All-Souther.n and All-
American choice for two consecutive years under Coach Snitz Snider
at Bessemer. -
Last year he averaged over 42 yards per kick for the undefeated
freshman team and was, without a doubt, their best running back.
If Lorino keeps improving at the pace which he has already set,
he will undoubtedly be destined for AU-SEC honors this year as well
as All-American honors in the future.

Only one Plainsman prognosticator, Ed Williams, picked Tennessee over Georgia Tech last week,
but North Carolina's 21-7 victory over Virginia gave Bob Black and Paul Hemphill a chance to tie
him for overall honors. All three had a 7-2-1 mark. One outsider, Bill Woodruff, bettered the
"consensus" record of six correct, but four others, Jack Fernandez, Tommy Sellers, Charles Henter, and
Charles Neal, equalled it. Woodruff had seven right. If you would like to try your hand at outguessing
the "experts," put your list of winners on a slip of paper-and turn it in at the Union Building desk
before 5 p.m. Those who do better than the consensus will find their names included in this space.
