Retail Price Hikes Cause Jump
In Union Cafeteria Food Prices
By David Maney
Price hikes by local food suppliers caused the recent jump
in food prices in the Union Cafeteria. Ice cream was among
the first of the items to have its price raised because, according
to Mrs. Kathryn Rush, API food director, the cafeteria
was actually losing money on each sale.
The Union Cafeteria operates
under the direction of the college
food service and makes only
enough money to continue effic-the
winning of the Grand Prize
of Honor at the International Mu
sic Competitions in Lille, France
where over 186 choruses from
many countries were in competi
tion.
Maestro Luis Morondo is one of
the most renowned figures of the
Spanish musical world. In addition
to being conductor of the
Pamplona Choir, Morondo also
is titular head of the Santa Ce
cilia Symphony and the Chamber
Orchestra Pamplona. One of the
many awards won by Morondo is
the coveted Special Citation of the
order of Alfonso el Salvo given
by the Spanish government.
A uniquely flavored repertoire
of choral works has been se>
lected by Morondo including mu
sic of the classical Spanish theatre,
folk songs and legends of
the 14th and 15th Centuries, and
popular songs of Spain.
Hailed as the greatest chorus of
its kind in the world the Pamplona
Chorus concert is something
which no one can afford to
miss. Tickets are available to
students with identification cards
without charge, and tickets for
student's wives and the general
public may be purchased for
$2.50 the night of the concert.

ient operation. Mrs. Rush reported
t^iat as early as last summer she
sjuspected that the cafeteria was
not making enough money to insure
these ends.
Late last summer a food price
qheck was ordered to determine
the source of the loss. As a result
of these food checks it was
discovered that because of the
food hikes by the local suppliers
the Union Cafeteria would either
have to raise its prices or operate
on less funds.
I Faced either with the prospect
of curtailing operating expenses
or raising the price of food,
Mrs. Rush chose the latter. Prices
were raised all around in the
Union, from the snack bar to the
food serving line.
$ "The student help used by the
Union is more expensive than local
help due to the high turnover,"
stated Mrs. Rush. "But,"
she further stated, "by using student
help the cafeteria helps the
students even more."
Mrs. Rush stated that the raising
of the price of ice cream
caused the most student reaction.
The raising of the price of ice
cream was absolutely necessary
for the sale of ice cream at the
old price resulted in a loss of
more than fifty cents per gallon.
At the new price of the ice
cream it might be possible to
make as much as ten cents per
gallon.

tenth.
Thus far this season the Villagers
have defeated Tennessee,

•them in the scoring parade is
Billy "Ace" Atkins who has tallied
16 points on two touchdowns
and four PAT's.
The Wildcats, under the tute-lege

will be seeking their first win of
the 1957 campaign. They have
dropped decisions to Georgia

one of the all-time Kentucky
greats and Collier will be look
ing for great things from him this
year. He also does -the punting,
kicking off and extra point kicking.

the first two games because of
leg injuries and are not expected
to be called upon for duty in the
Kentucky fray. Both of these boys
are on the second unit.

Tech IFC Invites All Auburn Students
To Pre-Game Dance In Atlanta Friday
Auburn students have received an invitation to a t t e n d a
dance in Atlanta, sponsored by the Georgia Tech I F C the
night before t h e Auburn-Tech game i n Atlanta.
The invitation came during a meeting last Monday of
student leaders representing the two schools. Purpose of the
meeting, held in Atlanta this
year, was to promote good relations
between the Auburn and
Tech students during the annual
football game between the two
schools.
Tech's IFC has planned a dance
for Friday night, October 18,
from 8 until 12 in the Alexander
Memorial Gymnasium. Auburn
students are invited and must
show ID cards to be admitted.
Boys must wear coat and tie to
the dance.
Alexander Gymnasium is located
at the corner of Fowler St.
at 10th, north of the Tech campus.
The gymnasium may be
reached by driving out the expressway
in Atlanta to the 10th
St. exit—then west to Fowler St.
In addition to the dance, plans
were laid to foster continued
friendly rivalry between Tech
and Auburn the weekend of the
Eagle's Nest, Spring Show Talent Sought
By Marie Peinhardt
Plainsman Features Editor
It's as simple as ABC for you to perform at one of the
Eagle's Nest student shows or participate in the coming Spring
Show. At the same time you try out before the Union Entertainment
Committee any Wednesday afternoon for the Eagle's
Nest, your talent can be considered for Spring Show, too.
TRYOUTS are now being held for talent to participate in the
* -^Eagle's Nest program and the 1958 Spring Show. The scene above is
jfirom last year's Spring Show, "Rangor."
And you don't have to be loaded
with talent to be a part of the
1957-58 Spring Show. If you're
just a clean cut red-blooded ail-
American API student, you can
sew on costumes, paint props, or
sweep up the floor.
So why wait a minute longer?
Why don't you snatch up the
phone, call the Kappa Sig House
at 537 and explain to Don Leith-auser,
chairman of the Union entertainment
committee, that you
are interested and that the Eagle's
Nest and Spring Show just can't
go on without you!
Perhaps you'd like a little more
information about these two productions
before making a hasty
decision without knowing what's
coming off anyway. To begin
with, the Eagle's Nest, located in
the Union basement and loaded
with night club atmosphere all
its own, will open November 1. A
floorshow composed of student
talent is a regular feature each
Friday night and needless to say,
that feature could be youi!
The Spring Show, which will
run four days in May this spring,
is strictly a Union Committee all
student production. From writing
the script, the music, and lyrics
to original production of dances,
students do it all. This production
needs students for every sort
of job imaginable.
Norman Kohn who did the
writing and directing last year is
again doing so this year and very
much needs people with writing
ability to work on the script. Last
year, J. H. Owens, Rick Bell, and
Don Leithauser wrote the music
and are doing so this year with
the assistance of Bob Richardson
who is on the staff at the Music
Building.
Last year's show, w h i c h has
been praised as highly successful,
was an Oriental musical
combination of romance and comedy,
titled "Rangor." The plot
told of the romance between an
Oriental Maharajah and an
American entertainer. Obstacles
to the romance, the Big and Little
Crummunists, and the Evil Harem
lady added a comic note to
the story.
The forthcoming Spring Show
will be the third annual production
of its kind put on by the
Union.
Deadline Set By Tax Assessor's Office
For Purchase Of '58 Auto License Tags
Sale of 1958 Alabama automobile license tags began on
October 1, and will continue through November 15, after
which time a delinquent tax will have to be paid by anyone
purchasing new tags.
API students have the option of receiving their tags from
either Lee County or their home
county.
The Lee County Courthouse is
located on South 9th Street in
Opelika. Persons desiring to buy
tags in Lee County should go to
the Tax Assessor's office in the
courthouse. Here the automobile
is evaluated and taxes are assessed
on this amount.
Current tax assessments, per
$100 value of the automobile, are
65 cents for the state, $1.15 for
the county, $1.00 for the city of
Auburn, 30 cents for district
schools, 50 cents for Auburn
schools, and 20 cents for county
hospitals. This is a total of $3.80
for each $100 value of the car.
The value of a car for purposes
of taxation is taken to be approximately
twenty-five per cent of
its retail sales value.
Tags are issued in the office of
the Probate Judge upon presentation
of a receipt for payment
of taxes. An additional fee of
$3.75 must be paid for the cost
of the tags.
Information required by the
Tax Assessor's Office consists of
the old tag number, the make,
model, year and motor number of
the car and the date and place of
purchase.
game. Students are urged to exhibit
a positive school spirit rather
than resort to derogatory comments.
(This refers particularly
to shouting . . . "Turkey Buzzard"
and "Dirt Dobber.")
Auburn fans are urged to park
on the west side of the Tech campus
for the game to avoid walking
by the dormitory area, scene
of trouble between fans of opposing
schools in the past. The
Plainsman will print a map of
the Tech campus next week to
aid Auburn students going to the
game.
Representatives of ODK, Blue
Key, and the Ramblin? Rock
Club will patrol the V a r s i ty
Drive Inn Friday night before the
game, and the stadium area the
day of the game to. prevent the
out-break of trouble between
Tech and Auburn fans.
An exchange of editorials be*
tween the Technique and The
Plainsman will appear in the issue
of the papers preceding the
game. One thousand copies of the
school papers will be exchanged!.
Copies of the Technique are expected
to be distributed late Friday,
October 18.

Speech Department Professor, Dr. Smith
Adds New Article To Published List
Dr. William S. Smith, Associate
Professor of Speech at API is the
author of the article "Co-ordinating
Classroom Instruction in Debate
with the Extra-Curricular
Program."
This article, which deals with
the problem of co-ordinating the
programs of classroom instruction
with outside debating, appears
in the September issue of
The Speech Teacher.
The article was presented first
as an address at one of the recent
conventions of the Southern
Speech Association.
The editor of The Speech
Teacher heard the talk and asked
Dr. Smith to write it up as an
article for publication—believing
that the problem of co-ordinating
the two programs in debate (the
curricular and the extra-curricular)
was a problem of many debate
coaches.
Dr. Smith obtained his Ph. D.
from Stanford University of California
in 1953. Since then he has
served as a faculty member at
Auburn. While at Auburn he has

THE LITTLE SAVER
Among America's great savers,
George T. Coffee is a
legend. One day, George discovered
that by going to sleep
with his shoes on, he could
save a full 60 seconds dressing
in the morning. Multiplying
this by 365 days—gave him
over 6 hours saved per year.
Then, multiplying this by 8
years—gave him 48 hours—•
or two full days saved! George
was giddy. "Think of it," he
mused. "Two full days saved
to do anything . . . read,
sleep or go to Europe!"
Another time, George passed
a store that advertised "Save
$50 When You Buy These
$100 Suits!" George immediately
saw the fantastic opportunity
. . . realizing that he
could save $100 by not buying
any of these suits. Thereupon,
he proceeded not to buy ten
suits and rolled up a tidy
$1,000 in a few seconds.
However, the best saving
George ever did by far—was
when he happened on the
Van Heusen Vantage Shirt.
Vantage is a shirt you don't
have to iron . . . so you save
on laundry bills. Wash it—
hang it up to dry—that's all.
"So what," you sneer, "aren't
there other shirts that can do
the same thing?" "Mebbe,"
we sneer, "but Vantage is a
cotton shirt—with all of cotton's
natural softness, porosity
and comfort. And it only
costs $5!"
Men—grab a pencil in your
fist. Figure out your laundry
bill for shirts for a year. Then
figure out the price for seven
Vantage shirts. You'll find
that Vantage shirts actually
pay for themselves in the
laundry bills you save! See
you at the bank.
P.S. You can also save yourself
the trouble of searching for
lost collar-stays. For Vantage
shirts have Collarite sewn-in
stays which can't get lost, keep
the collar neat, always.

API Two Party System Explained
By Bryant Castellow
Two of the most confusing groups on campus to a new
freshman are the War Eagle Political Party and the All Campus
Party. When elections arrive, he will be grabbed by the
arm and have one ear filled with the merits of one party
while he is trying to listen to another person explain the
opposing party's system. He will
be told that all the Greeks belong
to one party and all of Mag Hall
to another and maybe even that
all the girls belong to another.
Just how is he to decide to vote?
Actually, fraternities, srorities,
and independents, vote with both
parties and the majority of the
people oh the campus actually
belong to neither.
The War Eagle Political Party
is the younger of the two nominating
groups on campus. It was
officially brought together in 1954
by Abe Allen from a group that
split off the old All C a m p us
Party. This new campus group
consisted officially of most of the
fraternities and sororities not in
the All-Campus Party plus a few
independent students. It .was
organized on the theory that the
independent vote shall equal that
of the fraternities. In the nominating
for the party ticket, the
group representing fraternities
and sororities cast the same number
-of nominating ballots as do
the independents on the campus.
The seven fraternities that are
members of the War Eagle Political
Party are Alpha Gamma Rho,
Theta Xi, Sigma Pi, Phi Kappa
Tau, Omega Tau Sigma, Delta
Sigma Phi, and Delta Chi. The
three sororoities that are not
members of the WEPP, yet ran
members on the WEPP slate last
spring are Kappa Alpha Theta,
Pi Beta Phi, and Alpha Omicron
Pi.
The oldest and at one time the
only party on campus, the All

Campus Party is at present composed
of thirteen fraternities and
six sororities. From the group of
delegates that assemble each
spring, a candidate for each of
the offices is picked to run in the
spring elections. Each of the
Greek organizations is represented
equally and a large fraternity
cannot have a number of members
nominated simply because of
size.
Member fraternities of the All
Campus Party are Alpha Psi, Alpha
Tau Omega, Delta Tau Delta,
Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa
Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma
Chi, Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha,
Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha,
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon. Six sororities that
are ACP members are Alpha
Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta,
Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta,
Delta Zeta, and Phi Mu.
One of the main reasons for
having a party composed of the
Greeks is to prevent every fraternity
nominating a favorite son
for every campus position and
thereby cluttering up the party
ticket. The party system eliminates
all but the most outstanding
nominees. It should be noted that
no one party will have all of the
best candidates so a vote should
be cast for an individual instead
of a party ticket.
Not all campus offices are filled
by party nominations. Freshmen
senators, Miss Homecoming,
Miss A-Day, Miss Auburn, and
all of the publication offices are
left out of the party systems and
nominations are made by various
groups.

'Ask Mer Tags And Friendly Smiles
Welcome Frosh Girls To API Campus
When you Freshman girls first
arrived in the dormitories, the
first item you noticed was the
"Ask me" tags and the friendly
girls who wore them. They were
so helpful in so strange a new
world. These girls were part of
the Freshman Advisory Council
sponsored by the Women's Student
Government Association.
The chairman of the council is
the vice-president of the WSGA
who this year is Catherine Earle.
At the beginning of every spring
quarter, the vice-president taps
some special helpers known to
many as Group Advisors. This
year the Group Advisors were
Penny Butler, Joan Forshaw,
Louise McGinn, Babs Smithy, Ellen
Anderson, Kachel Young-blood,
Margaret Belser, Virginia

These girls worked in cooperation
with the vice-president to assign
each big sister her little sisters
and to act as a mediator between
the vice-president and the
big sisters at all times.
Among other activities, the
Freshman Advisory Council aids
the WSGA in sponsoring the tea
given at the beginning of every

At the end of every academic
year, the WSGA presents the best

Dolphin Club Ready For New Year
Last Monday night at Alumni Gym approximately 60
participants signed up for Dolphin Club tryouts. Tryouts will
be held again Monday night at 6:15 p. m.
The participants began their tryouts promptly at 6:15
Monday evening. At t h e beginning each participant was as-igned
a number and was rated
by this number by members of
the club.
Before the actual tryouts began
various members of the Dolphin
Club demonstrated the types of
strokes the participants were expected
to do. After this each participant's
number was called and
he or she swam the length of the
pool doing the stroke called for.
After each participant did a
jtroke they got in line again for
the next stroke tryout.
The types of swimming strokes
required were the front crawl,
the back crawl, the breast stroke,
the side stroke, the surface dive,
and if desired, an optional stroke
of any kind the participant wished
to do.
Each participant was rated by
members of the Dolphin Club on
a 5-3-1 system with five being
the highest rating.

THE CASE OF UTTlf MAN ON CAMPUS by Bicfc Bible* THE PASSING STREAM
The Missing Goalposts
Two years ago a rugged Auburn football
team ended a long victory drought in
the Georgia Tech series with a win over
the Yellow Jackets.
The score, long to be remembered by
Auburn people was 14 to 12.
Fans from the Loveliest Village went
wild With joy. They sang and shouted long
after the end of the game. (And well they
might—for it was the first Auburn victory
over Georgia Tech in 14 years). And some
spectators even wanted to "get the goalposts."
Riot Feared
Atlanta city officials had long feared
the day that Auburn would walk off the
field with a win over Tech. They visualized
hundreds of War Eagle fans pouring onto
the field to take down the goalposts—while
hundreds of Tech fans poured onto the
field to stop anyone from taking down the
goalposts . .".
The result would have been mayhem.
The worst sort of a riot. Atlanta police, determined
to stop this before it started, and
they threw up a ring of policemen the entire
length of the student section to keep
people off the field.
Promise Goalposts
Even though policemen stood at five
yard intervals along the sidelines, jubilant
Auburn fans would most certainly have
attempted to take down the goalpost had
it not been for an announcement over the
public address system. Auburn's head
cheerleader told the crowd that Tech coach
Bobby Dodd had promised to see that the
goalposts sent to Auburn.
It's at this point that a "news black
out" seems to have settled over the case
of the promised goalposts. Actually the
post arrived in Auburn within a few days.
No public display was made of the trophy
we had received, and, in fact the goalposts
were sent right back to Atlanta.
Goalposts Sent Back
Coach Jordan wanted them sent back.
He didn't want the team or the students
to think that the football season had ended
with a win over Georgia Tech. Enthusiasm
and spirit was needed for other opponents
on the schedule. So the goalposts went
back.
Some people fear that Auburn students
might crowd onto the field this year
to take down the goalposts in Atlanta. We
don't think so. Coach Jordan will carry
the finest team he has ever coached, and
the top team in the SEC to Atlanta. A
win over Tech will be no surprise—it's the
expected. . >
Samford Tank Trap
Besides, even if we did get the goalposts
from Grant Field, what would we do
with them? Ross Square is much too beautiful
for a set of goals . . . and if we planted
goalposts in front of Samford after every
win over Georgia Tech the place would
take on the appearance of a tank trap in
•* few years.
We are in an era of consistent football
victories here at Auburn—this is no time
to start a goalpost collection.
SENATE COULD STUDY NEED FOR A
Lost And Found Department
Have you ever lost anything on campus?
If you are one of the many who
leave a book in class or lose a fountain
pen occasionally, you know what a problem
it can be to get it back.
You must begin the job of retracing
your steps to inquire if the lost article has
been turned in at the Union deik, or in
Ramsay Hall, or in one of the other buildings
you have stopped in during the day.
Centralized Lost and Found
All this running around campus to locate
a lost article could be eliminated by
a centralized lost and found department
for the entire campus.
Students who found things could turn
them in at a centralized location with some
hope that they would be returned to the
owner; and students would know exactly
where to inquire about a lost item.
Present System Ineffective
Right now Building and Grounds
maintains a lost and found department
which could easily be converted into such
a centralized agency. Their lost and found
is ineffective as it operates now.
It is ineffective because smaller lost
and found departments in the various
buildings around campus fail to cooperate
by promptly forwarding articles to Build-and
and Grounds as they are turned in.
A slide rule found on the c a m p us
grounds and turned in at the Union desk
might remain there for weeks and never
be claimed as a result. Unless the owner
is very sure of the area in which he lost
the slide rule, he might visit several buildings
without finding it. A centralized lost
and found, with items found on all parts
of the campus being turned in every day,
would be the answer to this problem.
Articles found on the campus could be
turned in to a centralized lost and found

found, the date found and the finder's
name.
Finder Keeps Article
If a lost item were not claimed in a
given number of days, then the finder
might be allowed to claim the item as his
own. Such a system would encourage students
to turn in articles found—because a
reasonable opportunity would be given to
the owner to reclaim his lost article—and
because the finder would get to keep the
item if the owner did not call for it.
Collecting items found and turned in
at buildings throughout the campus would
be the big problem in operating a centralized
lost and found department. Perhaps
such items could be collected by the campus
mailman and turned in to B and G
as he makes his rounds during the day.
Or some service club might assume the job
as a project.
Student Senate Look
It would be a fine thing if the Student
Senate would look further into this matter.
Centralized lost and found departments
are common at other colleges—ours
needs some coordination to make it effective.
Piles of articles lying unclaimed
in buildings around the campus give testimony
to the need of a centralized lost and
found.

UT And Sorority Houses
It appears that the University
of Tennessee's Orange and White
is perturbed over that school's
lack of sorority houses. Editorially
speaking:
" . . . Another heart-breaking
week will end for scores of
young freshman coeds who
couldn't squeeze into their favorite
sorority.
And many of these young ladies
could be spared the disappointments
that accompany
rush if that ridiculous 25-wo-man
quota system could be
eliminated.
Only one thing seems to stand
in the way: a hostile administration
in regard to sorority
houses. Word has it that years
ago some woman chipped in a
big chunk of money to help finance
the present age-old Pan
Hellenic Building.
Seems as how this gift was
made with at least one stipulation:
no sorority houses.
Which immediately brings to
mind "the question, "Why haven't
we got any?" Because the Auburn
sororities don't want any,
that's why. Because the girls with
the grip on their chapter's pocket-book
are smart enough to realize
that, financially anyway, the
present set-up is unbeatable.
The college itself has no decree
forbidding, or even discouraging,
the erection of sorority houses.
Behind the local groups are national
organizations strong enough
to underwrite initial construction
costs. And a purposeful petition
would almost assuredly secure
BY DOUG MclNTOSH
permission from the National Pan
Hellenic Council, which would
have the last word in this matter.
But there has never been any serious
effort put forth to further
the cause.
A new fraternity house sheltering
40 to 50 men costs $1,000
dollars a month, roughly, to pay
for and maintain. Sororities are
charged $43.50 for rooms with
heat, lights, water, maid service,
and a completely equipped kitchen.
Telephones, along with air-conditioners
run the total bill up
to about $75 dollars.
Does anyone actually think
they'll swap? HA!
For those of us who think the
Auburn WSGA is a tyrannical
body of prudish women dedicated
to slowing the advances of social
evolution, it may gain some stature
by comparison with conditions
at the University of North
Carolina. There, the Student Senate
is only now considering a bill
to permit coeds to wear bermuda
shorts . . . after 3 p. m., within
the dorms, and on weekdays
only. -

The Inter-fraternity and Pan-
Hellenic Councils at the University
of Texas are worried about
$36,000 dollars that's just lying
around gathering dust. It seems
the two organizations started a
drive in 1948 to earn money for
an open-air theatre. Now however,
. . . "Due to rapid growth
in the University's size, space for
the theatre is no longer available."
A COLUMN
Shirley Ann Grau's Talents
BY CARLISLE T0WERY
A southerner and one who
writes about "the only life I really
know," Shirley Ann Grau introduced
herself to the literary
world with "Joshua," a short
story first published in The New
Yorker, February, 1954. A short
time later, "The Black Prince," a
book of short stories, appeared
and her subsequent publications
have been in Holiday, Mademoiselle,
and The New Yorker magazines.
Miss Grau's latest short story,
"Hunter's Home," appears in the
September, 1957 issue of Mademoiselle.
It is a very rare and appropriate
story of the South. With
publication of "The B l a ck
Prince," Miss Grau was commended
as "a writer of range and
variety," "fresh and gifted talent,"
and "a young author who has a
joy in writing and a rare vitality."
Some of the tributes are true.
Miss Grau is young; her words
have youth. She is certainly fresh
and eager. She will probably
prove to be durably signficiant of
the South and its feelings. But
some of. her is questionable. I
can smell (pleasantly) a Grau
story and stay a paragraph ahead
of my eyes while reading it. She
offers no surprises or sudden
turns. Miss Grau says her stories
are ordinary but so out of the
ordinary are some of her people
(although always believable) that
we are unable to participate in
their interplays. We prefer to
watch rather than to share in the
giving and taking. If Miss Grau
endures, her black people will
represent her; the lily-white animals
of her stories are often
mediocre.
This is not to doubt her talent.
She writes delicately and is very
sensitive in revealing her chara
cters to us, allowing them to
emerge from their hum-drum lives
or out of their tiny crises. Nicely
enough, she is never affectionatp
or slightly warm with her sensitive
delicacy.
There is no violence in "The
Black Prince." Its people do not
shout in death's ear—they merely
die. Miss Grau does not allow
clamor or glamour to shape her
stories and she has forgotton complexity.
If confusion and complexity
mark the usual life, then
the very substance of Miss Grau's
work is disparity and simplicity.
I like her title story, "The Black
Prince." In it, as in several others,
she becomes beautifully lyrical.
"Summers are powerfully hot;
the white ball sun goes around
and around in a sky behind the
smoke from the summer fires..."
And myth-like. " . . . he appeared
ope day whistling a bird call in
;he woods in high summer . . . I
lust came walking out of the
norning fog, he said."
Shirley Ann Grau deserves
commendation. She plays with
several superlatives. Foremost of
her attributes is, perhaps, her
handling of story endings. Her
final words are merely pauses.
The story continues.
Sonny's Funnies
By Sonny Ekholm
The lads at the corner drug
store were exchanging stories
about their experiences with the
opposite sex.
"Aw," sniffed one. "Girls are a
dime a dozen!"
"Gee," sjghed a younger lad
who remained silent until now,
"and all this time I've been buy-
; jng jelly beans!"
In the Sept. 30th issue of "Life"
magazine there is a picture of
Israel's Prime Minister, David
Ben-Gurion, standing on his head
by the seaside. At least, to the
casual flipper-through, he appears
tq be standing on his head. Actually,
so the small print informs
you, he is practicing yoga, which
is a widely accepted method of
achieving mental serenity and
clarity, even if it does look a little
silly on the same paper with a
dignified picture of Konrad Adenauer
in white tie and tails.
When I first saw the picture I
paused in mid-flip only long
enough to reflect dispassionately,
"Look at that fat old man in a
bathing suit standing on his
head. How silly of him." Then I
read the caption and thought indignantly,
" P r i m e Ministers
shouldn't stand on their heads on
public beaches, especially if
they're fat and practically undressed."
This proved food for thought,
and after giving it fifteen minutes
worth of same, I now look at the
picture and think, "Good for you,
Dave old boy. Go to it."
After all, why shouldn't the
prime minister of Israel stand on
his head if he wants to? Surely
his distinguished service and his
record of sterling performance to
his country entitles him to a mild
acrobatic spree if he so desires.
People like me, however, invariably
discount all the man is and
has done and mutter self-right-epusly,
VLopk at that fat old man
standing on his head. How silly of
fiim." David Ben-Gurion has
parned the right to stand on his
head in the middle of Picadilly
Circus in a skin-diving outfit if
he wants to.
By the same token, why should
not you and I stand on our heads
in the middle of Ross Square if
we want to? Granted, the urge
rarely hits one, but if it did, if
you really and truly, more than
anything in the world, wanted to
stand on your head in Ross
Square, why not do it?
"What will people think?" has
become the golden rule and the
Nicean Creed of our age. Never a
day goes by but what I don't do
something I don't want to do because
that faceless, anonymous
mass of staring eyes, gaping
mouths, and lifted eyebrows call-el
People would think me slightly
mad, or worse. These people, most
of them, don't know me; I don't
exist to them, so why should I
refrain from standing on my head
in Ross Square, or singing Madam
Butterfly at the top of my lungs
on Toomer's Corner, or tap-dancing
through the War Eagle Theater
simply because they would
say "Look at that girl, how silly
she is."
All kinds of people have impulses
to do strange, unthinkable
things. The impulse to say "No"
when someone says, "Don't you
think so-and-so's grandmother is
the sweetest old dear?" is a specimen
of this category, and the desire
to say calmly to a professor
or someone of equally authoritative
stature, "You bore me," is
another. You've probably got
your own pet list. Everybody has.
But most of us won't ever do
them, and this is a sad, sad thing,
because it would be a wonderfully,
gay, spontaneous, imaginative
—and HONESTy-world if we did.
Oh, yes, the Mob's got us good,
right under it's large sanctimonious
thumb, and it's what literature
calls tragic irony that we're
as much a part of it as the nameless
spectres we refer to when we
say, "What would people think?"
There are things, of course, that
we don't do, that just aren't done,
and we're right in not doing them.
These things infringe on the
rights and privileges and welfare
of other human beings and institutions
that are basically sound.
But we should refrain from doing
them because our own sense of
decency forbids them, not because
the herd would frown upon
them. And standing on one's head
is not one of them; neither is
singing opera on Main Street or
tap-dancing in cafes. How long
is the disapproving herd going
to be our highest and final tribunal?
So, I say to the wonderful
Prime Minister of Israel, "Go to
it, boy."
VIEW POINT
Mary Jane In WSGA-LAND
"In accordance with the underlying
principles of self-government
and democracy, we, the
women students of API do hereby
adopt and establish this constitution."
And thus begins one of the
most interesting documents outlining
policies of. faculty administration
that I have ever read—
the WSGA constitution. This document,
which can be found in full
under the name of the Constitution
of the WSGA, supposedly
outlines and defines the policies
of self-government of the women
students of API. No WSGA
would be better for the women
than the one created by the present
constitution. The administration
could answer for its policies
instead of relying upon the WSGA
as a shield. The women students
would be better off in the respect
that at least they would
then know the real source of their
problems.
How much voice does a girl
have in making her own rules,
as is theoretically the case, here
at API? Suppose the hypothetical
case of Mary Jane is used to illustrate.
Mary Jane was not a typical,
happily, bubbling voed, as in-visioned
by some observers. Mary
Jane was maladjusted. She didn't
like to go to church Sunday
night. She wanted to go to the
picture show in Opelika Sunday
night. Movie houses in Opelika
don't open until nine o'clock, and
Mary Jane had only eleven o'clock
permission. She was truly in a
dilemma.
Mary Jane suddenly remembered
her bible for living, her little
blue book of rules, "Co-etiquette,"
and began to thumb through
it. There, on page 41, Article VI,
part C, division 4, she discovered
that there was a rules, committee
responsible for evaluating and
revising rules for women students.
She happily skipped to her dorm
president and requested a rule
change. The dorm president was,
naturally, appalled as such audacity,
but, nevertheless, promised
to bring her request before the
Legislative Council meeting on
rules.
The Legislative Council is composed
of all dorm presidents, vice-presidents
of dorms having over
50 residents, elected officers of
the WSGA, and -uh- in an ADVISORY
capacity only, a representative
of the staff of the dean
of women. Mary Jane's request
for later permission was duly
BY DAVE MANLEY
presented to this august body for
evaluation and consideration. The
shock, at this point I editorialize,
must indeed have been great at
the check of such a brazen request.
Why, it was quite evident to the
majority of those assembled that
the request must have come from
an uninformed person. The legislative
council as a whole was
certain that all women students
loved to go to church on Sunday
night. But, strangely, there was
some dissent in this opinion. The
nice girls immediately realized
that they lacked the necessary
wisdom in how to govern them- _
selves with regard to this matter
of one-half hour. And then, in
the silence that followed this
realization, heads turned as a
unit to the East, where, through
virtue of age and courses in child
guidance sat wisdom, the representative
of the staff of the dean
of women.
Alas, for Mary Jane, there was
a frown upon that fane, and the
rule change failed to pass. Aged
wisdom again reigned over
youthful recklessness. But Mary
Jane was not yet defeated. Look
for more adventures of Mary
Jane in WSGA-land.

The Subversive Menace
BY MERCER HELMS
The incidence of what has been
described as a "communicable,
infectuous, respiratory, disease
was still climbing during the
greater part of last week. Our
last tally of the ill showed 86 persons
confined to the infirmary
proper and 15 confined to the
emergency section set up in Mag-nplia

sources, however claim that there
were "around 40" in Magnolia
Hall.
Mrs. Howard, of the infirmary
staff, said at the time, "Right now,
it does not look like it is subsiding."
No one has yet positively labeled
this (cough, cough) odious disease

The A u b u r n Interclub Council has asked t h e ministers of

consideration of others would result
in safer drivers and pedestrians.
According to Millard Dawson,
chief security officer, the most
frequent violations of traffic regulations
on the campus are excessive
speed and failure to stop
for stop signs. Scratching off with
loud mufflers is also a favorite
trick of many.
A particularly dangerous thing
to do on campus is to open a car
door on the traffic side of the
car. When cars are parked on
some of the narrow streets there
> isn't enough space for cars to pass
quickly and easily cause the pile-up
of several cars. Mr. Dawson
suggested that students cultivate
the habit of getting out of cars
on the "on-traffic" side.
Some advice for safer driving
during the winter months was
given by Mr. Dawson. Drivers
should make sure all the windows
are free from fog, frost and ice.
On our campus there are two
types of intense traffic—vehicles
and pedestrians. As the pedestrian
traffic is heavier by far than the
vehicle traffic the pedestrians
must strive to comply with all the
regulations. Pedestrians should

Speech Department
Offers Clinic Service
In Speech, Hearing
The speech and hearing clinic
of the Speech Department is again
offering its services to^ students
as well as residents of Auburn
and surrounding communities.
The clinic, which is held in Room
307, Samford Hall, is headed by
Professor William Dome and Dr.
J. Buckminster, a new comer to
the speech department.
During freshman orientation
week, Dr. Ranney and Professor
Dome conducted a speech and
hearing survey which made it
possible for students with hearing
defects to apply for the services
of the clinic.
The aim of the clinic is to help
students to help themselves. Most
of the corrective work is done in
groups, but in special cases, individual
attention may be received.
At the present time there are
approximately fifty students who
are receiving corrective treatments.
Included in this group are
six foreign freshman who are
striving to improve their spoken
English. These students came to
API from such distance places as
South America, Greece, and Persia.
In an interview Dr. Ranney
said, "The clinic is a service of
the Speech Department and the
facilities are available at no co'st
to all students who have need for
them."
make sure the way is clear even
if they do have the right of way.
A survey is to be made soon
to determine the flow of vehicles
and pedestrians and the peak of
traffic each day. This information
will be used by the Campus
Police to decide where, what and
if any new regulations should be
made and what changes in the
old policies would be advisable.
Col. Funchess, director, building
and grounds, stressed that
students develop careful driving
habits on their trips home. The
most serious accidents among
students happen outside of Auburn
when students are on trips
home and are in a hurry. Most of
the cars leaving Auburn contain
four or five students—therefore
reckless driving endangers the
lives of many. In s u m m a ry
Funchess stated, "Students have
been very responsive to safety
measures in the. past and I am
sure they will continue to be so.
With a student body the size of
ours it is essential that students
comply with all regulations.

Adibzadeh of Theran, Iran exchange notes on their home countries,

Explains Iran's Rock'n Roll Ban
IFC scholarship winner Siavash Adibzadeh finds quite a
few differences between America and his n a t i v e Iran—and he
can explain Why rock'n'roll has been banned in his country.
Siavash, who's last name has been shortened to t h e nickname
"Adib", explains that dancing is free for everyone but
the government wishes Iranian
women to be respected and therefore
does not want them to do
dances below their dignity.
Since there are many Americans
in Iran working in the Point
Four Program, "Adib" knew quite
a bit about America before coming
here. He pointed out that the
main reason for differences in
Iranian and American living is
that in an older country such as
his, tradition and custom prevail
everywhere. He emphasized that
everything is quite different too
from the freedom standpoint of
individual, especially women; of
press; in fact, just everything.
However, he said there are quite
a few similiarities between modes
of dressing, way of living, and
types of recreation such as mo-

Skiing is the most popular
sport in Iran where there is snow

basketball, and wrestling are also
common forms of entertainment.

industrial city of approximately
two million and capital of Iran,
"Adib" has two brothers, two

PLAINSMAN SPORTS EDITOR 1
College football player-and student
. . . That's the story of Mike Seczanski
If only it were possible . . .If only the people who ridicule the
college football scholarship could read this . . . the story of Mike
Seczanski.
That guy with the books under his arm? It's Mike Simmons,
a big, tough young man who plays a big, tough end for the Auburn
Tigers, Southeastern Conference.
The picture? Nup, it is not, most definitely, a gag shot dreamed
up by a sports writer trying to get attention.
It's a pose you might catch the big boy in during any school day
. . . books in hand, with a confident smile and step leading him toward
busy classroom hours instead of away to idle ones.
And there's not a bit of surprise here if you doubt it. Football
player going to college in search of education instead of
Saturday afternoon hurrahs? Few and far between they come in
an era when the rule, nasty as it is, says "they're here to w i n ,
not to learn."
But, my doubting friend, here's one more exception to that rule
you can add to the list of those who have used their heads off the
field as well as on.
Right there, under the names of Fob James, Dave Middleton and
the rest, put Mike Simmons.
His story is enough to shame
those who think college football
players are Saturday's heroes and
nothing more . . . Chronologically,
from the beginning, here it
is. . . .
Mike Seczanski (the actual
family name) doesn't remember
the early days of his life back
in the old country . . . and maybe
that's best.
There was his father
shuffling Mike and mother
and brother off to America to
escape an inevitable World
War I I . Mr. Seczanski was
never seen nor heard from
again.
Upon arrival in America,
there was still more traveling to
do.
"Mother sent my brother and
me to North Bay, Ontario, to live
with my grandmother," relates
Mike, as it was told to him. "We
lived there five years while she
worked in a clothing factory in
New Brunswick, N. J., making
army uniforms and saving money
to put us through grammar
school.*-' •*»-.••- >.
Alfter those years in North
Bay, Mike and brother were moved
to New Brunswick to live with
their mother. But things didn't
get any better. Now, in addition
to putting the boys through
school, she had to feed and
clothe them.
Not much happened to young
Mike—outside of the day-to-day
struggle to survive until he
reached high school. I t was then
•or rather, football discovered him.
On the New Brunswick team Mike found a place to develop
— both mentally and physically. His size and aggressiveness soon
made him a schoolboy Ail-American.
Immediately, Mike realized that football might be the means
to the end which he wanted so much—to get an education and be able
to repay his mother for her years of drudgery and devotion spent in
caring for him and his brother.
So strong was his desire to make good and get a scholarship that
Mike even changed his name—"I thought a different name would
give me a better chance."
But a change in name wasn't necessary. Mike already had college
scouts knocking at his door—including an Auburn alumnus who
invited him down to have a look at the Tiger setup.
He liked the South—"I never liked to play up there, in the snow"
—so quickly signed a grant-in-aid with Auburn. '
The rest of the "Seczanski story"—discouraging, homesick
freshman year to sophomore and junior seasons that have
strengthened Auburn hopes in him—is well known; . . . You can
find that part in the record book, the one about Mike Simmons
the college football player.
But no record books will hold the story of Mike Simmons, college
student. They won't tell about the appreciative boy who's right
now within reach of an Aeronautical Administration degree and the
dream of his life.
And there won't be one word about the proud mother whose life
soon will be one of peace and ease instead of turmoil and anxiety—
all because her son was a good football player.
Maybe they should write a book—call it "The Seczanski Story,"
if you will . . . And be sure to send a copy to the guy who screams
that a football scholarship is a "useless waste."

Plainsmen Blast Chattanooga As Sophomores Shine
Tigers Drop To Ninth In AP Poll
Despite 40-7 Victory Over Moccasins
By J a y Grandy
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's seventh-ranked Tigers, r e l a x i n g after defeating
Tennessee, rolled over Chattanooga 40-7 last Saturday. Coach
J o r d a n played his r e g u l a r s v e r y l i t t l e giving t h e r e s t of t he
squad an opportunity to gain important experience.
The leading ground gainer was
fullback Billy Atkins who piled
up 65 yards in nine carries. Also
shining were Bobby Hoppe, nine
times for 45 yards, and J im Reynolds
who traveled 42 yards in
two tries.
Chattanooga did very little on
offense, their touchdown coming
on a 24 yard pass from Johnny
Green to Jim Tucker to cap an
80-yard drive. Green completed
seven straight passes in one
stretch, but the Tigers also intercepted
five Chattanooga passes.
The Auburn touchdowns were
spread out well with only two
starters scoring. Atkins drove off
guard for an 11 yard TD and
converted three times. End J im
Phillips, who was outstanding on
defense, recovered a punt blocked
by Zeke Smith in the end zone
for a first-quarter touchdown.
Quarterback Bryant Harvard
started the scoring in the first
quarter when he scored on an
eight-yard roll out to cap a 71-
yard drive. Later in the quarter
Phillips recovered the blocked
punt for a TD. Johnny Kern ended
a 41-yard drive and the first
half scoring when he traveled 12
yards on a run-pass option play
for the Tigers third score. Atkins
converted on the first three
scores, splitting the up-rights on
two of them.
In the third quarter Atkins r e covered
a fumble, led the drive,
and then scored on an eleven-yard
smash off guard. He then
kicked his third extra point of
the day. Pat Meagher plunged
over for the fifth TD after the
Tigers had moved 39 yards in
nine plays. Quarterback Harvard
was outstanding in this drive,
completing passes to Meagher and
end Mike Simmons. Ronnie Robbs
try for the extra-point was good.
Fullback Jimmy Reynolds ended
the scoring with a 34-yard scamper
which was set up by Pat
Meagher's pass i n t e r c e p t i o n .
Kern's try for extra point was
wide.
The Tiger defense was superb
in all categories with Jimmy Phillips,
Mike Simmons, and Zeke
Smith* shining.

Tennessee used a 55-yard punt

Throughout the Southeastern Conference, sophomores are
being depended upon to play football more than ever before.
Coaches have realized that they must place more responsibility
in the hands of these youngsters because it is they who
will carry the brunt of their teams' load during the following
two years. "
A boy who developes into a fine football player during his sophomore
season is much more valuable to his team than a boy who
waits until his senior year to decide he really wants to play. This
becomes evident when you realize that a sophomore has two more
years left to play.
Due to a fine crop of sophomores, Auburn's future is very rosy.
Now that the Tigers are ranked among the top ten teams in the nation,
they want to stay there. If last Saturday's play by the Auburn
sophomores is any indication of their ability, the Tigers should stay
in the top ten for a long time.
The outstanding performances by Tiger sophomores against
Chattanooga must give their coaches a warm feeling of security.
Take Jackie Burkett, for instance. Jackie, a 215-pounder from
Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., played an All-American game against Tennessee
and continued his fine play against Chattanooga. Films of the
Tennessee game showed that Jackie made close to 35 tackles, not to
mention his fine offehsive blocking.
Another sophomore, Zeke Smith, is very ably filling the left
guard position on the Auburn team. Many who felt Auburn would
be weak at guards this year due to the loss of Chuck Maxime and
Ernie Danjean are now convinced that this may be one of the strongest
positions. Zeke, who was the most valuable lineman in spring
training, hails from Uniontown, Ala. He is an aggressive ball player
and is continually in the enemy's backfield making tackles and

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Bill Tyer discusses features of a training program for operators with Miss Edith Sanders.
"There's always something different"
"In my job, there's always something
different coming along—a new problem,
a new challenge. When I got out of college
I wanted to make sure I didn't settle
down to a job of boredom. There's never
been a chance of that at Bell."
That's Charles W. (Bill) Tyer talking.
Bill graduated from Texas Christian University
in 1953 with a B.S. in Commerce.
He went right to work with Southwestern
Bell in Fort Worth.
How did he make his choice? Here's
what he says: "From what I'd seen it was
an interesting business with tremendous
room for expansion. And a big feature
with me was the opportunity to choose
my location. I wanted to work in the
Fort Worth area.
"I came in under the Staff Assistant
Program for college graduates. I spent
several weeks in each of the company's
five departments. Then I went back for
six months of intensive training in our
Traffic Department.
"After training, I was promoted. One
of my first jobs was setting up and supervising
a customer service improvement
program.
"In January, 1956, I was again promoted.
My present job is assistant to the
District Traffic Superintendent. My responsibilities
include instruction of PBX
operators, employee and public relations,
and scheduling operators to handle calls
to and from 185,000 telephones.
"No—there's no chance for boredom!"
Bill Tyer is typical of t h e many young men who a re
finding their careers in t h e Bell System. Other interesting
careers exist in t he Bell Telephone Companies,
Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric a nd
Sandia Corporation. Your placement officer has m o re

The fall intramural p r o g r am will begin Tuesday afternoon
with these teams competing against each other: PKA^
TX, KA-SN, LCA-TC. Originally scheduled to s t a r t last Tuesday,
t h e flu bug necessitated a postponement.
On Wednesday afternoon the dormitory and independent
teams were slated to kick-off what is expected to be a very
i n t e r e s t i n g season. This year, because of lack of interest, there
will be no church football league. The two groups that did
e n t e r teams, BSU and Newman, will be entered in t h e independent
league.
The sports included in t h e fall IM program are, football
volleyball and swimming. Winter q u a r t e r sports are basketball,
bowling, and table tennis.
F r a t e r n i t y swimming competition will get under way
Oct. 21. P r a c t i c e sessions started Tuesday.
The first volleyball will be battled November 4. T h e frat
e r n i t y boys will play on Monday and Wednesday and the
independents on Tuesday and Thursday. Independent volleyball
e n t r i e s will be d u e no l a t e r t h a n noon October 25. F a c u l ty
teams are eligible to enter the independent volleyball competition.
Last week members of the Executive committee of the

Auburn, Ala.
Frosh Dump Gators, 19-0
By Ronnie McCullars
Plainsman Sports Writer
They sought and they found.
Revenge is the applicable word as the Auburn frosh
eleven succeeded in overpowering the Florida Gators, who
defeated them 25-13 last year, by a 19-0 score. The Tigers led
by quarterback Don Fuel! and right halfback Wayne Proffift
completely out-maneuvered Florida
in both offensive and defensive
departments.
After taking the kickoff and
being stopped on their first series
of plays, Fuell had to punt
to Gator halfback Jack Brazil
who fumbled on his own 35. Joe
Leichtman, alert Auburn end,
pounced on the loose pigskin.
Fuell, working like a seasoned
performer, called the Tigers
down to the three yard line where
he bulleted a pass into the waiting
arms of Wayne Proffitt for
the TD. Robert Royal, defensive
standout for the Gators, blocked.
the try for the extra point
Early in the second period,
Proffitt and Fuell led the Auburn
aggregation for a 56-yard
touchdown drive. Benefield scored
from the one yard line on a
dive play. Ed Dyas converted to
put the happy War Eagles 13
points in the black.
It was the middle of the second
stanza before Florida could make
a first down, but they were unable
to keep their drive alive as
the half ended.
Don Fuell made two beautiful
runs of 17 and 20 yards respectively
early in the second hall
Sophomores S h i n e . . .
(Continued from page 6)
breaking up plays.
There are many other sophomores on the Auburn team who may
not see as much action as Smith and Burkett, but they showed that
they will be ready when called upon.
Bryant Harvard played a very fine game as he scored a touchdown
and completed four out of five passes. Harvard's touchdown
followed some quick thinking on his part. Fading back to pass, only
to find all his receivers covered, Harvard elected to run and made
it to the end zone for the score. Harvard looked like a veteran as
he led the Tigers down the field.
Johnny Kern also demonstrated some fine thinking in the Chattanooga
game. After being thrown for two straight losses while attempting
to pass, Kern faced a third down situation with 34 yards
to go. Chattanooga, expecting Kern to pass, was completely fooled
when Kern handed off to Jimmy Reynolds who streaked for the
touchdown. The Auburn quarterback position should be very sound
with Kern and Harvard both having two years remaining.
Fullback should continue to be a strong position with Ronnie
Robbs and Jimmy Reynolds both demonstrating a lot of power. Robbs
has also shown ability to kick the ball.
as the Gators stopped the march
on their eight yard line. The
Florida freshmen punted out of
trouble to John McGeever, who
returned it to the Gator 17. Junior
Thomasino .charged five straight
plays to the one, where McGeever
sneaked across for six points.
Again the point after touchdown
was blocked and the score stood
at 19-0, Auburn's favor.
As Florida tried desperately
for a score in the final period,
Bill Belohlavek intercepted a
pass on the five. Auburn went 67
yards to the Gator 10 where they
were held on downs.
The aggressive tackles by the
Auburn line held the Gators to
only three first downs and very
little gained on the ground. The
Auburn squad certainly found
the revenge they were looking
for in Gainesville. They take on
Georgia in Athens on October 21.
TRYING FOR THAT vital yardage is Auburn's Candidate for
All-American, Tommy Lorino. Thus far this season Lorino has
been handicapped by the fact that two and three players are hitting
him on every play
Elsewhere in the backfield, Lamar Rawson has been very impressive
operating at righthalf. Rawson had several good runs in the
Chattanooga game, not to mention his alert play against Tennessee.
Teddy Foret has been playing great ball at tackle. Foret is a big
boy at 230 pounds and will see a lot more action.
Coaches are expecting big things from Leon Myers at tackle
also. Leon had a fine freshman year and should develop into one of
the best tackles in the conference.
Joel Eaves and Gene Lorendo, end coaches, must feel good when
they realize they will have boys like Leo Sexton and Bobby Wasden
around for two more years. Both have shown they are rugged enough
to take on all comers.
Altogether there are twenty sophomores on the Auburn team.
If these boys continue their aggressive play, Auburns football future
holds great things indeed.

'Cross Country
Should Be Good/
Says Coach Hutsell
By Joe Ed Voss
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach Wilbur Hutsell expects
the 1957 A u b u r n Tigers'
cross-country crew to have a
highly successful season as the
Plainsmen were undefeated in
t h r e e dual matches last season.
However, they were not
q u i t e as successful in the SEC
meet, finishing second behind
a strong Tennessee squad. In
1955 Auburn h a r r i e r s tied it
with Florida for the crown.
Hutsell will have a well balanced
team, but outstanding distance
stars like Ellsworth Rich-ter
and O. H. Wesley both graduated
and are considered great
losses to the squad. Richter was
the conference two-mile champion
for the past three years.
In regular competition last season
the Tiger thin-clads dropped
the Florida Gators 26-29 (low
score wins), Alabama 25-30, and
Georgia Tech 19-37. The Tennessee
Vols took home the top
place in the SEC as they scored
26 points compared to the Orange
and Blue's total of 51. Other finishers
and their point productions
were' Georgia Tech 75, Florida
104, Georgia 113, and Alabama
(See Column eight)
LOOKING FIERCE is this band of heralded freshmen as they
prepare to improve on their 1956 record. They have started out
in the right manner as they upended the Florida Gators last Monday
by a score of 19-0.

'The Best Friend Your Auto Has'
Player Of The Week
For the second consecutive week, an outstanding team
performance made a wild goose chase out of the Plainsman's
weekly search for one outstanding player.
But from a 40-7 victory in which six different Tigers
scored touchdowns, there came one whose shoulders stood a
little higher than the rest.
The name? Billy Atkins . . . "Ace" Atkins, if you please.
The biography? Twenty-two years, six fee^, 190 pounds, and
a senior fullback from Millport, Alabama. And the cold facts
from a day that was not a good one for Chattanooga?
. . . Once again, here they are—this time in capsule, catalogued
form:
Top rusher for the day with
65 yards in nine carries for a
7.2 average . . . another good
kicking day, with one boot
going for 55 yards . . . leading
point-maker of the afternoon,
gathering nine points via a
third quarter touchdown and
three extra points . . . interceptor
of an errant Johnny
Green pass at the Auburn 42.
But where Atkins really
cinched "Player of the Week"
honors was in the third period,
when he one-man ganged the
Moccasins to put his mates out
of reaching distance.
Following a Moc s c o re
which put them within 13
points of the Tigers, Atkins
started his hatchet job with a
55-yard punt. A fumble recovery
at the Chattanooga 27
came next, then a 16»-yard
drive to the 11. The speedy
senior completed what he
started by busting over guard for the score on the next play.
And for good measure, he then converted to drive another
nail in the 'Nooga coffin.—HEMPHILL.
