True 'Auburn Spirit1
Shows Its Colors
In Pi Kapp Crisis
By War Eagle
The Ole Bird's heart was
r e a l l y warmed this past week
at the show of generosity and
gpod will on the part of stu­d
e n t s h e r e to help out the Pi
Kappa Phis. After fire wiped
out their home Sunday night
a week ago, everybody has
pitched in to help. R o o m s ,
meals, facilities, all have been
offered the marooned boys.
> It's a tough blow to have your
home, clothes and other belong­ings
burned completely or dam­aged
beyond use. Yet, in soaring
over the campus, I have seen
those boys smile at the display
of that true "Auburn Spirit"—
a spirit that goes above and be­yond
athletic events. We of Au­burn
have often been sneered at
by outsiders because of our pride
in the spirit here. Yet in how
many schools would a disaster

Blood Drive Makes
Appeal To Student
Donors Tomorrow
Donations To Be
Taken At Union
Students will be given an op­portunity
to donate blood to­morrow
in the Union Ballroom
between the hours of 9 a. m. and
4 p. m.
Each person who contributes
his blood will be given a card
which will entitle him or any
member of his immediate family
to blood anywhere in the United
States. Recently an Auburn stu­dent,
who had previously given
blood in one of the school's Blood
Drives, was in a Montgomery
Hospital and had to be given
twenty-five pints of blood. Be­cause
he had donated blood here,
Lee County sent the blood free
to him.
People between the ages of 18
and 59 are eligible to give. Those
who volunteer will be examined
to determine if they are physi­cally
able. No diet or smoking
restrictions will be placed on
the people wishing to give their
blood.
A two hour excuse from class
will be given those students who
give blood. Those who try to do­nate
and are unable will be giv­en
a one hour excuse from class.
It takes from five to seven min­utes
to give the blood; about an
hour should be allowed for the
entire procedure of registration,
examination, blood donation and
partaking of refreshments fur­nished
the donors.
Lewis Anderson, head of All-
Campus Drives, stated, "Even
though no. national emergency
exists at this time, the need for
whole blood and blood deriva­tives
is still great. We urge you
to make a donation Thursday,
thereby fulfilling a constant
need."
Blood Drive Dance
The All-Campus Blood Drive
and this afternoon's "Plasma
Prom," an informal dance with
juke-box music planned by the
Union to promote the Drive, are
considered definite parts of the
Greek Week activities:

Polgar Turns Two Into 'Elvis Presley'
Mind Reader Has
Trouble Locating
Hidden Pay Check
Polgar, in his second annual
appearance at API, performed
Wednesday and Thursday night
from the Union Ballroom stage.
"Miracles of the Mind," was the
title of his program, and it fea­tured
memory feats and mind-reading
as, well as the eagerly-awaited
hypnotism.
During the mind-reading act,
Polgar had someone hide his pay
check in the audience -and then
proceeded to find it by translat­ing
the "brain waves" emanating
from a subject. The first night
everything went fine. Then in
his closing show, Polgar had a
bit of trouble. This was a little
nerve-wracking, considering his
promise to leave without pay­ment
if his check was not found.
Even the audience breathed a
sigh of relief, as well as admira­tion,
when he finally located it.
•POLGAR puts one of many voluntary victims through some • When Polgar asked for volun-of

IN FIRE AFTERMATH-PI
Kapps Say
Thanks To All
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity wishes
to thank the Fire and Police de­partments
of the cities of Auburn
and Opelika, the students and
townspeople of Auburn and the
many organizations that did so
much for us during our recent
misfortune.
Auburn showed that old Au­burn
spirit, and Pi Kappa Phi
wishes to say that we have never
heard of any campus that can
come close to comparing with
the wonderful, kind group that
we have here. We are glad to be
Auburnites and to know that we
have so many kind friends.
We plan to thank by mail, all
those who have offered their as­sistance.
Due to the fact that
hundreds took part we feel that
someone will be overlooked and
we wish to take this oppprtunity
to express our heartiest thanks to
all, and if we overlooked you
it was unintentional.
Pi Kappa Phi has changed it's
address temporarily to' Glenn
House, located behind the lib­rary.

Four-Week WAC Training Program
Now Available For Junior Women
College junior women may now
take four weeks of WAC summer
training in preparation for a com­mission,
with no actual obligation,
under a new program announced
by the Women's Army Corps.
This highly selective program,
limited to 10 women from the
seven southeastern states, is de­signed
to provide preliminary
training and to offer an oppor­tunity
for those selected to deter­mine
if they would like a career
as an officer in the WAC.
Participation in the program
does not obligate those women se­lected
for any service other than
the four weeks training; however
applicants should be seriously
considering a service career upon
graduation.
Successful candidates will be
sworn into the WAC enlisted re­serves
and called to four weeks
active duty for training from
July 19 to August 10, 1957 at Ft.
M'cClellan, Ala. During this period
of active duty all transportation,
meals, housing and clothing will
be furnished free. Upon comple­tion
of this period participants
will be paid a salary of $122.30.
Those interested may secure

Personnel Director Speaks To SAM
At Bi-Monthly Meeting On Feb. 11
By Martha Webb
Plainsman Clubs Editor
The bi-monthly meeting of the Society for the Advance'
ment of Management was held Monday night, February 11
in the banquet room at the Union Building.
During the business session, amendments were brought
before members on qualifications for membership in SAM.
The qualifications amendments was shown; its purpose is to aid
were: 1. Student must have at
least three quarters remaining in
school. 2. Must have a minimum
point average of 1.0. 3. Applica-cants
must be enrolled in the
School of Industrial Management.
Present at the meeting was Mr.
Homer Tillery, Assistant Director
of Personnel for Sears Roebuck
and Co. in Atlanta.

disappointed. Everyone wanted
to get into the act. He was able
to hypnotize about a third of the
25 or 30 persons who answered
his call each night.
Some of Wednesday night's
stunts were repeated Thursday
night. Perhaps the most spectacu­lar
of these was the one which
consisted of telling a hypnotized
boy, who said he couldn't sing,
that he was Elvis Presley. The
great "Elvis" favored the aud­ience
with a song or two each
night, complete with . . . er . . .
gestures. The subject did not re­member
anything of this when
awakened.
"Marilyn Monroe" also visited
API on Thursday night's show.
The subject under hypnosis talk­ed
and even walked like Marilyn,
but recalled nothing a few min­utes
later.
The benefits of hypnosis were
illustrated in Thursday night's
performance. Whether it can ac­tually
cause the disappearance of
warts remains to be seen-the
student in choosing a correct
vocation upon graduation.
Following the movie there was
a question and answer period at
which Mr. Tillery answered va­rious
questions concerning the
movie and about Sears Roebuck
and Co.

THE INNOCENT'
A Novel by
Madison Jones
Assistant Professor of English
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
About 'The Innocent' . . .
In a first novel of shattering power, Madison
Jones unfolds through swift dramatic action the
consequences of a blind faith fanatically adhered
to, of an innocence so stubborn that it amounts
to sin.
Back from the north to his father's farm in
Tennessee after an unsuccessful newspaper career
and a disastrous marriage comes young Duncan
Welsh. He returns home only to be confronted
with forces he is trying to escape—change, regi­mentation,
loss of freedom.
Everywhere he looks he sees evidence of en­croachment
on the old ways, which to him repre­sent
not the dead hand of the past but the only cli­mate
in which individual freedom can flourish
and in which he can live. The one man on earth
to be envied is Aaron McCool, the moonshiner
encamped on Duncar.fe ancestral property.
Out of the strange association between Duncan
and McCool, the shocking and violent events of
this novel develop with fearful logic.

About the Author ...
Mr. Jones, a native ,Ten-nessean,
has written a power­ful
first novel which his pub­lishers
feel will establish him
as a major addition to the
American literary.. scene.
The author, who is 31, has
used the countryside around
Nashville — his birthplace — as
the setting for his dramatic,
novel, published by Harcourt,
Brace of New York. Mr. Jones
spent part of his youth on a
farm in Cheatham County and
later interrupted his college
career for two years to train
and show saddle ,horses there.
Some of this experience is
echoed in 'The Innocent.'
Mr. Jones, a 1949 graduate
of Vanderbilt University, join­ed
the API faculty last fall.

in particular was questioned—that of mis­use
of students wives' zone A decals.
As the system was originally set up
all staff members were to get zone A de-
' cals. A study of the results since that time
has shown that in a great many cases the
student husband of a staff member drives
Basic among the reasons for formation
of the present solution to the parking and
traffic problem is that of traffic flow. Be­fore
the system was put into being smooth
traffic flow on the campus was non-exist-ant.
The reasons were simple. The great
majority of the students had classes on
the central part of the campus around his wife to work and then goes his own
Ross Square. Thus they hurried to get Way u s i ng A zones as parking space for
parking places in that area. Faculty and his class activities. A walk through the
staff members were also in on the race.
As a result about a third of the campus
population, at one time or other during
the day, was attempting to squeeze into
the Ross Square area. Parking places there
were not able to handle the volume and
often individuals cruised around in the
area for some time before giving up and
looking elsewhere. The situation resulted
in considerable congestion and sluggish
traffic movement through that area.
Thus the zone parking system evolved.
Broun Hall area around 8 o'clock in the
morning will verify this fact for anyone
doubting it.
Thus faculty and staff areas are be­ing
used by students, leaving less space
for those intended to park there. Then the
traffic committee is flooded by letters
from members of the faculty and staff to
the effect that A zones are overcrowded.
Result? A zones are enlarged at the ex­pense
of students parking space.
Only one way remained to combat
It was designed to allow only one part of -the injustice to. the students. This was to
the campus population to use any one deny A zone parking space to the student
parking area. The areas were intentionally wife- The point is made that the students
made large so that several groups would wjfe work.s hard until noon, then must go

However the basic purpose of the sys- zone herself but is letting her husband use
tern has been misunderstood from the very
beginning. On both the faculty and stu­dent
levels we have heard statements to
the effect that the system is a failure. It
seems that the criterion used in this judg­ment
is the fact that a parking place is not
made available for every individual close
to his own classes or office. With the num­ber
of places now available on the cam­pus
for parking and the space and re­sources
on han[d for building new lots such
a system, condition desirable as it may be,
cannot be realized without some groups
having to giv# up entirely their privilege
to park on the campus. The committee that
set up the present system wanted to avoid
this. • -- ' -' i
Some question has been raised in let­ters
to the editor about statements made
in an editorial appearing in The Plainsman
two weeks ago concerning individuals who
are trying to "beat the system." One point
it and others so he may park near his
classroom buildings. This is hardly fair to
everyone else involved.
Several have been offended by the
use of the word "cheaters" applied to those
misusing the present parking set-up. Al­though
there is nothing in the traffic regu­lations
to take care of some of the situa­tions
arising the spirit of the law is some­times
violated without a violation of ^the
letter of the law. It is such as this that we
are pointing out. Although there is noth­ing
in the rule book to prevent a student
from using his wife's A zone decal it is
still an infraction of the spirit of the regu­lation.
At any rate there still remains a great
deal of something out of certain ideas in­corporated
in the system. These will be
made but take time. In the meantime co­operation
is the key which will make it
work.
Mascot Progress
Some progress has been made toward
the acquiring of a mascot for Auburn. In
answer to an editorial last week asking
for opinions on a mascot Bob Woodham,
a student here, has volunteered to try to
capture an eagle in Mexico between quar­ters.
He says that they are plentiful there
and could be easily trapped.
The problems involved here are evi­dent,
of course. It will be necessary to
construct a cage or preferably a perch for
the bird immediately and make arrange­ments
for feeding it.
Border arrangements must also be

Perhaps the Veterinary School could han­dle
these things.
Houston, with a cougar as their mas­cot,
has a small group of honor keepers
of the cougar who are responsible for

A similar set-up could be used. Or perhaps
some of the service organizations on the
campus would be interested in taking on
the responsibility.
Prof. Arthur G. Crafts in the Physics
Department has done Considerable re­search
into the possibility of getting a mas­cot
here. He has found that another pos­sibility
for getting an eagle would be pur­chasing
one from a bird exhibit in Ocala
Florida. They have offered to sell us a
male golden eagle already broken to the
perch for $125.
At any rate once a bird is obtained it
will be' necessary to condition it to the

the War Eagle.

Letters To The Editor
Professor Expounds
On Integration
Dear Editor:
Your editorial in last week's
Plainsman, "NYC Forces Integra­tion,"
deals but superficially with
an extremely complex problem.
What is unique and refreshing
about the New York approach is
their willingness to come to grips
with the difficult problem of ef­fectively
integrating their educa­tional
system. I cannot accept
your statement that the "idea, is
. . . to force them (children) to
travel large • distances so that
pressure groups may be satisfied
in their desire to force integration
in all schools." Perhaps ' some
background material will enable
us,to understand what is involved
here. , t
Basicaly the problem in New
York City is that segregation,
based on discriminatory resi­dential
patterns, does in fact pre­vail.
Not legally or socially im­posed
segregation, understand, but
segregated schools resulting from
the simple fact that children go to
their neighborhood schools. Real­izing
that segregation of school
children, regardless of cause, is
not only morally repugnant to all
who believe in democracy and
human brotherhood but also de­structive
of educational stand­ards,
a Commission on Integration
was formed to investigate obstac­les
standing in the path of de-facto
segregation. Five sub-com­mittees
were set up to examine
various facets of this problem.
The sub-committees on Guidance,
Community Relations, and Phy­sical
Standards of Schools have
already reported and their find­ings
accepted without question.
The final two reports, those deal-ing„
with Zoning and Teacher
Assignment have aroused more
controversy.
. The first of these reports, the
Zoning Report commented upon
in your editorial, called for the
creation of a central zoning unit
with power to redraw* school lines.
In some instances, new zones
would permit children who now
attend predominantly colored
schools to attend near-by white
schools. "Fringe" areas would be
re-zoned to integrate as many
schools as possible. New schools
would be built at sites close to
the homes of both colored and
while children. High school stu­dents
would be permitted to at­tend
the school of their choice r e ­gardless
of neighborhood. If
children are attending a crowded
Negro school and are sent by bus
now to another all-Negro school,
they would be sent farther to a
white school. This report on zon­ing
has met some opposition from
teachers on the grounds that "bus"
children would have to travel
greater distances. (It seems in­congruous
for Southern propon­ents
of segregation to criticize the
additional transportation expense
involved in the New York pro­posal.
Substitute "maintain segre­gation"
for "force integration" in
the statement quoted above tak­en
from your editorial and the
statement would accurately de­scribe
the present state of affairs
in Alabama. The crucial differ­ence
between the New York and
Alabama approaches is that long­er
bus rides are designed to IM­PROVE
educational opportunities
in the former while ih the latter
case, the object is to PREVENT
equal educational opportunities
for all children.)
The protest has been louder,
however, on the second of the
as yet not adopted reports, that
One of the prices paid by the com­munity
as a result of this de facto
segregation is that pupils in the
poorer economic areas must ab­sorb
the additional penalty of less
able teachers. A study of the Ur­ban
League of Greater New York
revealed that schools in Harlem,
Bedford-Stuyvesant a n d other
"difficult" districts had., a far
greater proportion of emergency
and substitute teachers than did
the schools in more favored eco­nomic
areas. For instance, Jun­ior
High School 258 in Brooklyn
has been unable to get regularly
appointed teachers. Qf seventy
positions listed last semester only
eight were filled by licensed tech-ers.
The other 62 were emergency
or subsitute teachers. Qualified
teachers are reluctant to volun­tarily
accept posts in these "dif­ficult"
schools primarily because
these schools are locted in slum
areas. Teaching or living in the
slums of a big city is hardly an .
inducement to job-seeking •teach-
. ers, particularly during a tight
labor market for teachers.
Now this is a real problem, one
of concern to all men of good will,
not just the NAACP and other
"pressure" groups. What is dif­ficult
to understand is the reason­ing
of those persons who profess
decency, a feeling for their fellow
man and who boast of their moral
standards, yet who nevertheless
hesitate to join in the crusade to
drive ignorance, poverty and so­cial
injustice from our midst.
Rather than sneer at the attempts
of the New York City Board of
Education to cope with this social
problem, pll who really love hu­manity
should strongly commend
them for their courage and intel­ligence.
It will not be an easy task to
re-zone or to assig nteachers to
the less fortunate schools, either
for the Board or the teachers in­volved.
But if assignment and re-zoning
are necessary to carry out
of New York, all the children,
black or white, rich or poor, then
assignment and re-zoning must be
supported by all who sincerely be­lieve
in education and social jus­tice.

FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR'S DESK
Go ('Way) South, Young Man
Are you getting fed up with
studies? Has drudgery of school
work gotten you down, made you
cross and irritable? Dou you get
the urge to say "Umagawa?"
(Umgawa is an old Indian word
meaning "to hell with it all." It
is used here be­cause
we aren't
allowed to print
profanity.) IF
you findj that
the above sym­ptoms
do apply
to you, a dose
of Lydia Pink-h

help, but chances are a complete
change of scenery would do more
good.
Now for an absolutely different,
diagonally opposite type change,
what could be better than a
quarter of study in fabulous Mi­ami?
Why just think of it man,
with the U of Miami campus only
a stone's throw from the water's
edge, you could be basking in the
sun while doing trig, lolling on the
beach between classes and living
it up nightly in the famed resort
city, all for just a few pennies
more than education alone costs
here.
Before this last statement
prompts several thousand students
to flock to the library to check
tuition costs and then storm
angirly across campus to hurl
fire-brands through the windows
of this writer's third floor Mag
Hall penthouse, let me explain.
True, tuition costs more in Mi­ami
than it does here, but savings
come through the modest cost ol
living there. For instance, the
student may save on food since
orange trees ladened with fruit
overhang the streets, coconuts fall

at the feet of the thirsty and sea
lechens and clams dot the beach
in profusion. And too, the expense
of a room is unecessary; the bal­my
climate is perfect for sleeping
on the beach.
Wardrobe expenses are nil, one
hardly needs more than a swim-suit
and tee shirt on the chilliest
of days.
With all this money you have
saved, you could live it up-in
style. Instead of beer dates at the
Beverage Shack, there'd be eharn-pange
at the Founiainebleau; in­stead
of sipping orange aid at the
Union Snack Bar, you could quaf
your thirst with papaya juice un­der
the palms; and pizza in Co­lumbus
would be replaced with
motzza balls at the Eden Roc. '
The rewards are many, but then
it's a long trip south. Drop me a

there.
Around the College World
Women Equal To Men - Phooey!
By Harold Grant
Exchange Editor
The continuing trend to firmly
establish in our society that wom­en
are equal to men has been de­cried
by a Yale-University expert
on Human affairs.
Dr. Albert Burke said he is not
talking about the right of women
to express themselves but about
the "cockeyed nonsense that wom­en
can do the same things men
can." He terms it "simple biolo­gical
nonsense."
"The greatest injustice which
has been done to women is to
make them equal to men," this
expert claims.
Well, now. He's right. It's okeh
for women to achieve equality in
the fields of politics, education, in­dustry,
civic affairs and all the
rest, but I think it would be for
the best interest of all concerned
to keep our biological differences
intact. After all!

were brought from the lake. Live
bait was predominately used, al­though
some nice bass were taken
on artificials off the rocky points
before, the water- had risen too
high.
I fished Lake Jordan February
2 with two friends. We managed
to take eighteen crappie without
the use of a boat. The day was
a rainy one. Bob Norman, former
API student, made several trips
to Jordan the week of February
3-9. Skulling and drop-fishing
with small shiners, Norman re­turned
with catches of 16, 20, and
25 crappie for three trips. Nor­man
said the fish were hitting
everywhere along the bank in
grass beds or near treetops or
brush-tops, or other cover in the
water. The fish were taken in
water from 18 to 36 inches deep.

An inmate in an insane asylum
was troubled with the notion that
he had a cat in his belly. It tore
around inside and clawed him up
something fierce. One day the
fellow got a real pain—his ap­pendix
had to come out. The
doctor figured here was a chance
to cure the patient of his 'cat no­tion.
A real cat was obtained and
when the patient came out of the
ether, the doctor held up the ani­mal
and said, "You're all right
now, look what we took out of
you."
The patient took one look at
the cat, grabbed his tummy and
hollered, "You got the"; wrong cat.
The one that's troublgig me is a
grey one."
Fishing For Crappie
Norman said limit catches were
not uncommon.
Although not a vicious fight­er,
and despite its laziness, the
crappie affords a great deal of
sport to fishermen all over the
nation. The crappie is an aggre­gative
fish. The fish school in
great numbers at certain times
of the year. I have seen, on days
when Lake Jordan was clearer
than normal, schools of some
•four or five hundred fish shad­ing
themselves beneath a sunken
treetop or brushtop. This ten­dency
to aggregate makes the
crappie an attractive fish to the
sportsman, for it means that once
a school is located, the fisherman
is almost sure of a good catch
unless something happens to
frighten the fish. The crappie is
not an easily frightened fish,
however.
Small live minnows are the
favorite bait for crappie, how­ever,
he can be caught on worms,
crickets, spinner-fly combina­tions,
buckstails, poppers, spin-
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
nor-pork rind combinations, and
small minnow-like plugs. The
favorite rig used by the old crap­pie
fishermen at Jordan consists
of a light 10 or 12 foot bamboo
pole, 16 to 17 feet of 8 or 10
pound test line; a 2 or 3 foot
leader of 5 or 6 pound test, "an
adjustable float, two BB sinkers
and a number 2 or 4 long shank­ed
wire hook. The length of the
line desired can be obtained by
wrapping line onto or unwrap­ping
line from the end of the
pole.
Care must be taken when land­ing
a crappie, since the fish has
a very tender mouth. A sudden
jerk will often tear the hook from
the fish's mouth. Care should
be taken in' stringing fish for the
same reasoq. Many a crappie has
been lost from a stringer when
the fish's mouth was torn by the
stringer.
Try the crappie now, or this
spring. He is not the most spec­tacular
fighter, but he affords
some very fine sport.

Umbach's Career Termed Phenominal;
Has Produced 53 Tiger Mat Champions
Arnold W. "Swede" Umbach, Auburn's winningest coach,
climaxes 12 years at the head of the Plainsman wrestling
forces this weekend when his squad plays host to the South­e
a s t e r n Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Tournament in
t h e Sports Arena.
After capturing ten consecutive league titles, Coach Umbach
has his sights set on starting another decade of Plainsman grappling
domination with this meet.
'Appropriately termed the "Father of Southern Wrestling,"
Umbach has produced 53 individual Southeastern champs and
y ; half a dozen or more who
have won or placed in NCAA
competition. His teams have
been victorious in 78 matches,
while losing only 11 and tie-ing
1 for a winning percent­age
of .890. They have been
beaten only once since Jan.
14, 1952, and sport a record
of 46 triumphs in their last
47 matches.
The last national wrestling
ratings found the '57 Plainsmen
in the 15th slot, surrounded by 19
teams from the East and Mid­west
who all have elaborate
scholarship plans. During the regular season, the sophomore and
junior studded '57 combine has captured seven straight contests. |
Arnold William Umbach was born Nov. 3, 1903, in Oklahoma
—the wrestling hotbed of the U.S. He attended prep school at
Oklahoma A. & M. for two years but returned to hometown
Weatherford for his senior year and was a football and basket­ball
star. While at A A M he became interested in wrestling and
also first met Coach Carl Voyles who was later responsible for
his coming to Auburn.
Umbach had planned to return to A & M after graduation from
high school, but in the meantime, Voyles was named head football
coach at Southwestern State Teachers College at Weatherford. So
upon Voyles' persuasion, Umbach entered SW on a grid scholarship.

While there Umbach was a first string guard—having been a star
back in high school—for four years, and was captain of the All-
State team in 1926 after having been named"to-ttre 'elite selection
once before. He also served the SW team as'ea'ptam in' 192B.
He was 158-pound wrestling king of the State of Oklahoma for
four years while a member of the state title winning aggregation at
SW. \
The balding mentor received his B.S. degree In education
from SVJfewith highest honors, being, a member of Phi Kappa
Phi, Blii^Key, and Phi Delta Kappa; His master's degree came
from Colorado State before he began coaching. He started his
winning ways early and has not slackened the pace.
Umbach launched his teaching career in the high school ranks
and coached there for 14 years—fdotball, wrestling, and track. While
holding positions at three different Oklahoma high schools, he com­piled
a grid mark of 92-34; won 6 conference titles, one state crown,
and produced a dozen or more state mat champs, including three na­tional
winners.
Came To Auburn In '44 . . . '
When Carl Voyles became head* football coach at William and
Mary, he enlisted the soft-spoken Oklahomian as his frosh mentor.
They remained at the Williamsburg, Va., institution for three years
and after copping a Southern Conference crown, moved to Au­burn
in the spring of 1944.
Umbach served as Tiger end coach under Voyles for two sea­sons
before becoming head of the men's physical education de­partment.
After taking over the PE department, Coach Umbach found
that sufficient time was not available to efficiently hold the two
jobs so he gave up his football duties.
In tfie winter of '46 he started Auburn's initial varsity wrest­ling
program. The grappling game was practically non-existant
in the Southeast at that time, but by '47, through Ombach's un­tiring
efforts, the first Southeastern AAU meet was held with
the Plainsmen edging out Ga. Tech for the title 60-44. The
matches were held in the Sports Arena with five teams compet­ing.
AAU meets were held each succeeding year at various schools
until 1952 when the SEIWA was founded in order to assure only
collegiate competition for the tourneys.
Colorful Career . . .
Coach Umbach's colorful career has found him as an author
of a book and a film on the wrestling sport. He served in 1956 as
the president of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Asso­ciation.
He is chairman of the city of Auburn's Park and Recrea­tion
Board, a member of the Rotary Club, and the founder of Ala­bama
Little League Baseball.
The Auburn team, under Umbach's guidance, was the first
squad in the state to receive a national charter—in 1950—and
since have made two appearances in the Little League World
Series at Williamsport, Pa.
He als.o was solely responsible for starting high school wrestling
in Alabama and held the first high school tournament here last year.
He has gotten in a considerable amount of time as an official,
estimating that he has called over 3,000 matches throughout the
South, East, and Mid-West.
He has officiated three national championships, and the Okla­homa-
Oklahoma A & M dual meet, which draws crowds of 8,000
or more, 18 times.
He is married and has two sons, ages 14 and 12.
Former Stars . . .
Although it is easy to pin-point the 1956 team as his weakest
squad, Coach Umbach has difficulty picking his top club of the past
decade.
The 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1953 squads were all very strong.
All sported six or more individual conference champs. The '48,
'49, '50 teams were led by such accomplished matment as Tom
Keys, John McKenzie, Carroll Keller, Phil Smith, Dan Mantrone,
Robin Baker, John Brnilovich, Sonny Dragoin, Ted Sargent, and
Robert Long.
The 1953 squad was led by national heavyweight king Dan Mc-
Nair and handily won ten straight tilts.
McNair was conference champ in 1951-52-53, and won the
NCAA title in '53^His pverall career mark was 32-1-1. In fact,

fourth, one team point for a pin
and. one team point every time
a wrestler advances to a higher
bracket. Last year Auburn scored
a low total of 60 points in grab­bing
the affair.
But this year the Tigers hope
to raise this total and they are
in an excellent position to do so.
. In the 123 pound class is Walter
Keller while Gerald Cresap will
probably hold down the chores
in the 130-pound class. In the 137-
pound division will be Bob Ma­son,
one of the most promising
of the young Tigers. Maldonado
holds down the 147-pound slot
and Arnold Haugen will prob­ably
fill in the 157-pound spot.l
In the 167-pound position could
well be Emory Kirkwood while
Marx Brannon is a possible star­ter
in the 177-pound class. Bill
Rankin will either go in the 191
pound class or the heavyweight.
At press time this lineup was
only tentative because some more

TWO CAN LIVE
AS CHEESILY AS ONE
' Now in the final months of the school year, one thing
is certain: you and your roommate are not speaking.
But it is nottoola^e tp patch things up. Examine the
rift calmly. . Search your soul with patience. Perhaps
the fault is yours. Perhaps you are guilty of violating,
some of the basic rules of roommate etiquette.
For instance, in decorating your room, have you
' forced your preferences on your roommate without re­gard
to his or her tastes? This is a commonIcause of
friction. Indeed, it once happened to me back in my fresh-
. man. year when I was sharing a room with a boy named
Rimsky Sigafoos who covered every inch of our wall
with 850 pictures of James Dean.
"Rimsky," I said to him in gentle reproof, "please
don't think me unduly, but I had hoped to put a picture
of my fiancee Mary Beth Thermidor on the wall."
Rimsky examined the picture of my fiancee Mary Beth
Thermidor. "You're kidding, of course," he said and
dropped the picture in the wastebasket.
Well, that got my dander up, and I was mad as a wet
hen till Rimsky gave me a Philip Morris Cigarette.
As we all know, there is nothing like a mild, natural,
Philip Morris. Treats a man right. No filter, no foolin'!
Anger melts and frowns become smiles with Philip
Morris, all seems right in the world, and no man's hand
is turned against you, nor yours against any man. s
So, puffing a pacifying Philip Morris, I forgot all
about Rimsky's slight to Mary Beth Thermidor. In fact,
with her picture out of sight, I soon forgot all about
Mary Beth Thermidor, too, and one night at the Fresh­man
Frolic, spying a round young coed over in a corner,
I came up to her and said with a fetching leer,'"Excuse
me, miss. We don't know each other, but I would like
to rectify that sad omission." And she said, "Oh, you
horrid, horrid youth! I am your fiancee Mary Beth
Thermidor." With that she stomped furiously away, and
, though I tried to win her back with Philip Morrises, she
was beyond recall. I, utterly shattered, signed on as a
cabin boy with the Cunard Line and am today, aged 53,
the oldest cabin boy on the North Atlantic run.,
B u t I digress. We were talking about roommate eti­quette.
Let us t u rn now to the matter of share and share
alike. Have you shared everything equally? Drawer
space? Closet space? Study space? And here's one that
often causes trouble — hobby space.
>~it TOOK W or ikec TkiUp flio^H $ restat
When, for example, I roomed with Rimsky Sigafoos,"
my hobby was stamp collecting. I did not take up much
room. All I needed was a small corner for my stamps,
! my album, my magnifying glass, and my tongue. Rimsky,
on the other hand, was by hobby a cat burglar. Hardly
a night went by when he didn't~burgle twenty or thirty
cats. You can imagine how crowded our little room used
to get! Many's the time I got so exasperated that it took
two or three rich, natural Philip Morrises to restore my
native sweetness. ©Max shuiman, 1957
We, the makers of Philip Morris and sponsors of this column,'
know that you and your roommate are getting along just fine.
But if you ever do have a little tiff, don't try a peace pipe.
Try a good, natural smoke — Philip Morris!

Slight disputes arose in Leagues 2 and 4 to add zest to
, t h e past fraternity basketball campaign.'A tie developed in
League 2 between the Kappa Sigs and the Pikes. This tie was
s e t t l ed in a way proper and fitting to s e t t l e ties—a playoff.

FREE! INVISIBLE SHIRTS!
I t is a little known fact that
Van Heusen, in addition to
its regular merchandise, also
makes a grand line of invisible
shirts. Alas, they have never
proved very popular. People
lose them easily. Laundries are
confused by them. And people
wearing these invisible shirts
are not just walked over, they 're
sometimes walked through. •
So, we're stuck with thou­sands
of them, and we've just
decided to give them away. To
you! Just write Van Heusen.
We will send you free a com­plete
wardrobe of invisible
shirts. Not just one or two!
Not us. We'll send you hun­dreds
of them. In every style!
Eyery size! Every collar fash­ion!
All handsome. All invis­ible.
Probably the finest you've
never seen.
As for visible shirts — and
shorts, sport shirts, sweaters,
pajamas, handkerchiefs and ties
—well, you know Van Heusen.
We have most of the new styles
before anybody else. And we
handle traditional favorites in
a way that explains why cer­tain
styles last a long, long
time. Your local haberdasher
carries a large Van Heusen
selection. See him soon.

We'll be on
the campus
Wed. thru fri., Mar. 68
to discuss
your future at
Boeing
... where you can rise to the top
Right now you're in the process of making one of the
most important decisions of your life.
Yeur decision is important to us, too, because we are
interested in engineers and scientists who want to get
ahead. We're coming to the campus to give you the facts
you need to judge whether Boeing can help you reach the
goal you have in mind.
The fact that Boeing is an "engineers' company" is
important to your success. At Boeing, you'd work with,
and for, engineers—men who talk your language, under­stand
and appreciate your work.
Boeing encourages graduate study, reimbursing full
tuition and fees, plus an additional amount for incidentals.
Every six months, each Boeing engineer is given a merit
review-1* personal opportunity for recognition and ad-
Personal interviews on March 7 & 8
Group Meetings on March 6
8ee your Placement Office for time and location
vancement. The company's steady, rapid growth assures
plenty of opportunities to move ahead. At Boeing, engi­neers
hold positions right to the top.
Another advantage: Boeing assignments are interesting.
You'll work on such famous projects as the 707, America's
first jet transport; the intercontinental B-52, the nation's
principal long-range jet bomber; the supersonic BOM ARC
guided missile, and top-secret programs that probe beyond
the frontiers <of the known. At Boeing, you'll be in a
young, expanding industry, one with its major growth
still ahead.
4
So whether you plan a career in civil, mechanical, elec­trical,
aeronautical or industrial engineering, physics or
mathematics (or related fields), drop in for a person-to-person
discussion about your future at Boeing.

Plain Views...
(Continued from Page 6)
it is believed that the lack of opposition was the biggest dis­advantage
encountered by the 205-pound native of New Orleans.
The Downey brothers, Ray and Dick, posted fabulous marks while
on the Plain from 1952 to 1955. Ray (137 pounds) was the only man
ever to win four successive conference titles, while Dick brought
home three 157-pound crowns while posting a mark of 31 victories
against only one loss.
Dragoin, An NCAA Winner . . .
Anthony "Sonny" Dragoin (130 pounds) took first place in
1940-50-51 and finished fourth in 1951 NCAA meet. He was beaten
for the consolation prize by Tom Keys of Oklahoma, who had wrestl­ed
at Auburn his freshman year. Keys won 10 successive matches as
a Plainsman frosh, and many think that he could have been the
greatest matman in Tiger history.
Keys, as well as Phil Smith, 1952 NCAA 157-pound winner,
was a native Oklahomian, and when API decided to drop their
scholarships (Umbach had two scholarships at first but now
doesn't have any), they enrolled in Oklahoma schools. Smith won
23 matches against a single loss in his two years at the Village.
Dragoin racked up a 30-5-0 mark in his three year stint as a
student competitor. Immediately following graduation he accepted a
job as PE instructor and soon after was named to his present ^posi­tion
as Umbach's chief assistant. He' received the South's oustand-ing
wrestling award in 1951.
Dan Mantrone, wrestling In the 177-pound class, took two
Southeastern championships and finished fourth nationally in
1950. Umbach considers him'one-of his top performers of all'
time and feels that if Mantrone, a footballer, could have devoted
his full time to wrestling, he could have become even greater.
His two-year mark was 20-3-1.

three SEAAU crowns from ^-'SO and was considered one of Au­burn's
top athletes having also been a football and track star.
Other three-time champions for the Plainsmen were John
McKenzie, 137, pounds, 1947-49; Robin Baker, 157 pounds, 1949-51;
and Carroll Keller, 145 pounds, 1947-49. Keller the older brother
of Frank and Walter, present Tiger grappiers, placed, fourth in
the national AAU his junior year and did not wrestle as a senior.
McKenzie, after his three 137-pound titles, moved up to the 147-
pound class for his senior year and won second place.
Other impressive individual records for the past 11 years are
much too numerous to mention here, but some of the two-time con­ference
champs were: Ted Sargent, 121 pounds, 1947-48; Robert Long,
f67 pounds, 1950-51; Jerry Bains, 147 pounds, 1952-53; Glenn Sanders,
167 pounds, 1953-55; Robert David, 123 pounds, 1953-54;. Jerry Em­ory,
157 pounds, 1955-56; and Vic Maldonado, 147 pounds, will be
gunning for his second title1 this week.
After losing the opening match of the 1952 campaign, the Tiger
squad racked up 33 consecutive triumphs until the opening meet of
'56 when a very inexperienced crew dropped a 16-11 decision to
strong VMI. The '56 outfit improved steadily/however, and won the
conference championship in fine fashion despite having onlyi two in­dividual
champs. They are now working on a string of 14 straight
wins.

' A big jump in ten years? Here's
what Ken Boekeloo says about it: ,
"The way the telephone business
is growing, you can advance just as
fast, and just as far, as you're able.
. . . And all' along the way, from the
student period through each assign­ment,
the training and experience
you get really prepare you for ad­vancement.
"If you like to make contributions
and take responsibility, and if you
value the opportunities a growing
business can offer, then the tele­phone
company's the place to look
for a career."
Ken Boekeloo is one of many young men who
are finding rewarding careers in Bell Telephone
Companies, Bell Telephone Laboratories, West­e
r n Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your place­ment
officer can give you more information
