Pershing Rifles
Honorary Society
Formed Dec. 9
Two Forestry Students
Awarded For Activities
Awards were presented to two
outstanding forestry students at
the Forestry Club's recent banquet.
Larry .McLennan of Dpthan received
a K and E pocket compass
for being chosen the outstanding
freshman in extra-curricula activities
related to forestry.
Bivan C. Broughton, Atmore,
was awarded a K, and E lettering
set for his work in forest cartography
at summer camp last year.
The banquet was attended by
more than 75 persons including
Forestry Club members, their
wives and dates, and guests. The
guest speaker was Mr. J. L. Law-son
of the extension service.
The Pershing Rifles, an honorary
society for basic Air Force
cadets, has been formed at Auburn.
The local chapter was
started Dec. 9 and now has a
membership of 43 cadets. A small
number of advanced Air F o r ce
students, who act as leaders for
the group, are also members of
the society. Robert L. Bragg, Mobile,
is the current president, or
Captain as their leader is called.
Founded at the University of
Nebraska.in ,1894, the organization-
has .chapter^, throughputs the
felted States.' The, P e r s h i n g
Rifles, named for General John
J. Pershing' of World War I fame,
was established as an honorary
society to recognize outstanding
accomplishment and merit among
basic military students. The local
group, however, extends membership
to Air Force cadets only.
The requirements for membership
are a 1.00 overall scholastic
average and a 1.5 average
in military.
Military drill is the . primary
activity of the Auburn Pershing
Rifles. Meetings are held weekly
w i t h considerable t i m e devoted
to drilling. After the group
has .become . better established,
they plan to enter drill competition
with other teams in this
area.
Captain James A. Killgbre, the
chapter advisor, says that the
club has already aroused much
favorable interest from the cadets.
"An organization such as
this has been needed for the recognition
of outstanding basic students
and to encourage their participation
in military subjects."

Gymkhana—
Pre-Regisfration Fee Payment
SPORTS CARS had a field day last Sunday when the Sports
Car Club of Auburn sponsored a Gymkhana. The event, held in
the Kwik Chek parking lot, placed the emphasis on driver proficiency.
Speed was the main judge of the ability of the cars
to maneuver through the web of pylons but the striking of an
obstacle carried a heavy penalty in the grading.
Expected Enrollment Qf WomenWIZOO;
7,600 Total Estimated For Spring
The estimate for the total enrollment
for the 1959 S p r i ng
quarter has been approximated
at 7,600 by Mr. Charles W. Edwards,
registrar. Of this figure
1,700-1,800 will be women students.
As yet no estimate is available
on the total number of students
who registered during the
pre-registration period for the
Spring quarter.
Statistics for Fall Quarter show
that 6,549 men and 1,970 women
students were enrolled. T h is
quarter the record shows a drop
of 552 students which, according
to past enrollment tabulations, is
not unusual. The reason for the
drop is mainly attributed to the
loss of many freshman students.
The percentage of women students
is approximately 23.35 per
cent and the ratio of men to women
is 3.279 to 1.
Until 1945 API's enrollment
•was only slightly more than 2,500.
During the winter quarter of
1946 total enrollment rose to 4,-
380 and in the fall of 1946 the
record showed 6,290 students
registered. This was an increase
of 1,910.
Since that time Auburn's enrollment
has progressively increased.
In the fall of 1957, 8,076
students attended Auburn; 7,791
for the 1958 winter quarter; 7,457
for the Spring quarter apd 4,811
for the suminer quarter. A check
of the records shows that although
there has been no rapid
growth, enrollment is steadily in
creasing.

Fraternities, Sororities
Observe Last Flings
By SANDY ROSS
Society Editor
Formals, listening parties, and costume parties kept some
of the fraternities and sororities busy last weekend.
Alpha Gamma Delta and Kappa Delta had a joint formal
while Delta Sigma Phi and Lambda Chi Alpha decided to
have theirs by themselves.
Sigma Nu changed the usual
formal weekend around and held
an informal weekend. They began
on Friday night with an Informal
Dinner Dance at the Elks
Club with the Cherokees from
Montgomery providing the music.
After the dance the members
and their dates "breakfasted" at
the house. Chewalcla was the
scene of a weiner roast on Saturday
afternoon. They moved back
to fraternity row Saturday night
and held a dance at the house.
Mad Sam was scheduled to play
for the dance, but a car wreck
prevented him from coming and
Hi Fi had to take his place.
Pi Kappa Phi went "Ape" and
had a jungle party Friday night

Open House was held by Sigma
Phi Epsilon on both Friday and
Saturday night.
The wild and wooly West came
to life again at the Alpha Psi
House on Saturday when they
entertained with a Cowboy and
Indian Party. The Casket Five
was there to play the' funeral
march for the brave souls who
died while defending the house
from attack.
Sigma Pi decided to get away
from it all and go Oriental at
their Oriental Party on Friday.
Hi Fi provided the melodies.
Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Pi
stayed glued to their radios on
Saturday at their listening parties.
On Tuesday everyone began
exchanging and feeding pledges
again. Sigma Pi and Chi Omega;
Theta Chi and Delta Zeta; and
Phi Mu and Kappa Alpha all
drank coffee in the sorority chapter
rooms and then went to the
fraternity house. Alpha Delta Pi
and Delta Chi and Alpha Gamma
Delta and Pi Kappa Alpha also
swapped pledges.

I
On Skit Night 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, March 4, 1959
if next year's Skit Nite provides the
same level of entertainment as the one
week before last, then we predict a gradual
decline in the interest shown by the
student body.
Ranging from the fatigueingly unfunny
to the revolting, only a very few of the
presentations held the audience's attention
by virtue of their humor content. Of the
rest, we watched only to see how crude
they could be or how dull they could get.
For these reasons we hope that next
year's Skit Nite ^Pill be prefaced with
some provision for preliminary judging. It
was tried last year but abandoned this
time in the belief that the elimination of
most of the fraternities not only discouraged
future participation but reduced the
sizes of the audiences as well.
Both these assertions are true when one
considers only the short-range effects. We
are firmly convinced that most of the skits
are of the quality which would make their
elimination by far the lesser of two evils.
Over, a few years the stiffer qualifications
would dictate one of two results;
either the skits would be funnier or the
event would die a natural death. In our
opinion, either of these alternatives is more
to be desired than to have the present system
endure to the infinite boredom of
generations of Auburn students.
In the first few years of its inception a
drop in attendance would have to be expected
with the pre-juduging concept. But
if its reputation for basic humor grew, the
same student who now pays fifty cents
solely to see his respective fraternity in
the spotlight would attend for an evening
of excellent satire.
The members of Mortar Board and Blue
Key who will sponsor the event next year
will have to take the first step (and probably
a reduction in the amount of money
their organizations make). We are certain
that these organizations are as aware of
the need for a change as ourselves. We
hope they will not allow the monetary consideration
to outweigh their better judgement.

COLLEGE LEADS TO...
A PooDpuuita r 1/
Although their conduct often hints otherwise,
many Auburn students are gravely"
concerned with the scholastic averages
the3''ll carry with them upon graduation.
At the close of each quarter, everything
seems to pile up at once. While students
face the confusion of preparation for finals,
certain instructors often threaten to
tear grade expectations apart by firing last
minute quizzes.
It seems as though the more competent
instructor would efficiently plan his classroom
schedule from each quarter's start.
Quizzes should cease to be supplementary
final exams.
Why shouldn't material covered in lecture
following classroom tests reasonably
late in the quarter be inserted on finals?
We hope the length of exams will increase
next week in favor of cancelling last minute
quizzes!
We too, are but human.—PHILLIPS.
He says board work counts 50 per cent of our grade.
It's midquarter now, and nobody else has scratched chalk
yet!
New Campus Fraternities?
The IFC announcement that they would
investigate the possibility of bringing new
fraternities to Auburn was no doubt accompanied
by a general lowering of the
spirits of rush chairmen.
But we believe, despite increased competition
in rush, that new f r a t e r n i t i e s
could have only a beneficial effect on fraternity
life here.
The IFG Expansion Committee has already
received word from three fraternities,
(Phi Gamma Delta, CM-Psi,.-and;Phi
Kappa Sigma) stating that they are definitely
interested in forming'" a chapter on
the Auburn campus. Twa^fflKgp very
strong national fraternities, fie^'ISieta Pi
and Delta Kappa Epsilon, have been contacted
and although they seem favorably
inclined, they will not be able to make a
definite advance prior to their conventions
in May.
All five of these fraternities are sending
delegations here to talk with the Expansion
Committee and to look over the campus.
There is one main reason for IFC's move.
Soon after the Second World War, the ra-tion
of. fraternity men to independents at
Auburn was about 30 per cent. It jumped
to 40 per cent when several new organizations
were organized here during the late
40's, but now the ratio is about 27 per cent.
This change can be accounted for by the
fact that fraternities have remained the
same size since 1950 while the size of the
student body has progressively grown.
After rush week last fall, there were
close to 400 men who had wanted to pledge
fraternities but who had not received bids.
While a part of this group may have been
undesirable, a good number would prob-/' .
ablyThave made excellent fraternity men. ^ h e hlaVof Towery
If IFC receives a vote of confidence and an institution like ours is the
permits new Greek organizations to colo- philosophy of its students. And the
nize here, it will affect these men, Auburn philosophy of Auburn's students
as a school and the fraternities on campus E a™big.uous t o a ridiculous point,
now.
It will give these men a chance to better,
themselves socially and politically, and it
will give Auburn an even stronger internal
structure.
For the fraternities, make no mistake, it
will bring competition that can act as a
stimulus, or as a death-rattle.—ROLL.
Mencken would have laughed.
API and Company would have
tickled him good. But then again,
the old boy knew repulsion far
better than he knew mirth. Maybe,
then, he would have quickly
turned his head, maybe he would
have spat out his cigar and cussed
or snorted in disgust.
At any rate, Henry Louis Mencken
would have reacted to the
Auburn scene. He was a real reactor—
the last of the big-time reactors.
Mencken could get at the realities
of things.
He saw through

were wrong. In our error we committeed
the worst sin of newspaper journalism; accepting
information without verification
from other sources.
Alumni Hall was not the best by any
means, but in comparison to the o t h er
freshman dorms their actions were ex-emplery.
So, for our erroneous report, we
are truly sorry.
As a last thought we would like to point
out that the women were not punished
alone. The men were singled out as leaders
in the groups around dorms 9 and 10
were called to account before the Disciplinary
Board. They were all given letters of
reprimand, copies of which were sent home
to their parents and entered on their permanent
records with the college.
It should seem pretty obvious by now
that the administration cannot afford to
look on a riot as a harmless gathering. We
all have too much at stake.
Slow Down
Speed limits should apply to fire-trucks
and ambulances as well as vehicles driven
by private citizens. Modern municipalities
are adopting this concept more and more
every year as public service cars and
trucks become involved in smash-ups
which, because of their speed, are rarely
of a minor character.
The congested conditions on the streets
in the town and campus of Auburn would
suggest that consideration of such a law
might be pertinent here. The necessity of
getting to a fire as quickly as possible
should be tempered with the knowledge
of the possible consequences. Property
damage can be repaired. Lives cannot be
replaced. :
Beach
The humming sound of vast
machinery in motion cut through
the night and drowned the momentary
sound of. the whistle. Inside
the plant several persons sat
side by side, each performing to
perfection a specific
task. One
man k n e w not
what t h e other
was doing, and
each was intent
upon h i s own
particular phase
of t h e job. No
great amount of ^ ^
t h i n k i n g was
nee e s s a r y for
their work. Although of a skilled
nature, it was performed almost
automatically and progressed uninterrupted
throughout the night.
Here there were no Thinking
Men, only the Performing Men.
True, each person's skill was vital
in the overall operation, but elsewhere
that night the Thinkers sat,
creating a new plan whereby the
above jobs could be encompassed
into only one, thereby eliminating
the other performing men of their
jobs. Where would they go, what .
would they do? Their specialized
skills restricted them to a certain
type work and their insufficient
educational background became
apparent to them.
This idea of the Thinking Men
versus the Performing Man has
become a vital issue today, for the
best jobs available now and in
the future1 will be those of designing,
improving and servicing machines
of automation rather than
the actual operation of these machines.
To meet the challenge of this
age we need specialized and technical
training so that we may become
Performing Men.' But in
order to become creative, Thinking
Men, we need more than just
technical training. We need a well-balanced
college curriculum.
Walt Whitman once said, "a
college must remain self-balanced
for contingencies." This applies to
the individual also. In order to
deal effectively with human problems,
we need a broad background
from which to draw in time of
need. Energy and skill are not all
we nee'd to tackle them. We need
to balance our knowledge and
channel it down not only one path
but a multitude of paths. This
knowledge can be so directed by
following a properly balanced
course while in college. At the
same time we must keep in mind
the necessity of a well-balanced
extra-curricular life. By placing
the proper emphasis on balance we
will see the emergence of both the
Thinking and Performing Man, no
longer working apart but working
as one.
The terms Thinking, and Performing
Men pertain to both men
and women.and thus far it would
seem that I have excluded the
women.
In the past, perhaps it was considered
doubtful that women could
be educated even if the attempt
was made. It was thought that an
education was a waste of time
since women would only get married.
But this has been proven untrue,
with the emancipation of women
and the continual invasion of
women into the business and professional
worlds. Today it is just
as important for a woman to have
a well-rounded education as a
man, for we need homes in which
children are motivated to learn.
Our education today should provide
all students with a "well balanced"
curriculum so t h a t we
might foster an inventive and creative
imagination coupled with a
logical and realistic reasoning
ability. This can't be accomplished
in an atmosphere of conformity to
only a highly specialized course of
study. A revolution in the realization
of our present and future
needs is necessary so t h a t we
might be better able to deal with
the many facets of. life, both technical
and non-technical, and thus
become both Thinking and Performing
men and women.

Laugh And Let Laugh
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
Had he found traces' of philosophy,
or more accurately, traces of
common thought, they would have
been of. a shallow materialistic,
unacademic n a t u r e ; something
based firmly a n d rather solely
upon the diploma and its omnipotence.
Talking with an Auburn student
might have shocked Mencken,
and shocking Mencken was
not an easy thing to do. He would
have found the Auburn student
less fascinated with his studies
than with his weekends, less involved
with books than with
beers, less informed on world affairs
than on old quizzes. In short,
to use the word "student" to describe
Auburn's enrollees would not
have occurred to Mencken at all.
What would have occurred to him
was the possibility of book-burning,
as a cure, or five-day weekends,
.or some other such near -
r e a l i t y . (Futility characterizes
Mencken.) He might have seen fit
to recommend replacement of local
crosses with footballs or banners
or any other such representational
toy. He might have just
laughed.
In the daily race to complete
assignments, finish designs and
projects, study for hour exams,
and keep up with courses, the
average student is quite apt to
lose sight of his reasons for attending
school. In the interest of
strengthening these purposes in
order to give meaning to the program
a student is undertaking,
perhaps it would be well to examine
them more closely.
Clearly there are many individual
reasons for a higher education,
ranging from delaying the
draft or wishing to put off going
to work, to trying for a better-paying
job, looking for employment
more nearly suited to one's
interests, or striving for increased
knowledge of the world in which
we live. Students would be able
to state in what manner their
college attendance will help them
to realize these aims.
The hopes of these students
who do take their education seriously
may be attained in two
channels; professional development
and personal development.
While it is perhaps an arbitrary
line to draw, as the two are so
closely interrelated, a fair margin
of demarcation exists by virtue
of the ability of the college to
enrich the student in one or the
other areas.
While the college, any college,
holds responsibilities for both
types of advancement, by its very
nature its effectiveness is largely
limited to professional development.
Though complaints are
many, some of them well-founded,
few can deny that the college
does all that it is able to do in
this field. Despite a lack of funds
for adequate space, efficient
equipment, and decent salaries,
the quality of education remains
high. The student is exposed to
more information than he can
hope to absorb, and the consistent
demand for graduates furnishes
eloquent, if mute testimony as to
its quality.
As for personal development,
an entirely different situation exists;
no school, be it of 1800 or
18,000 students, can lead each individual
by the hand to his own
maturity. The most it can do is
to sponsor events, a curriculum,
an atmosphere, and an attitude
which will tend to help the student
find his own path in this
field. Whether by tradition, expediency
or lack of information,
BY TIM BATTLE

personalities and stunting our intellectual
growth; maturity is a'
product of our own efforts.
It is only by admitting this
need and by attempting to gain a
more thorough understanding of
ourselves and the rest of the
world that we may attain this
end. There is no person to whisper
to us an "eternal truth,"
we must find our own personal
truth. By sufficient social and
cultural experience we can attain
this maturity. But b ey o n d acknowledging
this need, we must
attempt to enrich ourselves and
broaden our outlook. Then and
only then, shall we have received
the maximum benefit from our
education.
TOTAL WASTE?
As The Minutes Tick B y . . .
The seconds, the minutes, the
hours tick on and on and on.
Time is a problem for us all; we
have to fit into our busy schedules
a place to work and a place to
play. It is a difficult
task, but
one that must
de d o n e well,
for to put too
much emphasis
on w o r k or
either play is a
mistake, and
the unfortunate
part of the mistake
is that it may never be corrected.
Time used and time unused
both have results. Used minutes
will some day be added up and
will show their positive results
just as unused minutes will show
their negative results. There is
no escape from this reality. Every
Teller
thought takes a second—occupies
a definite amount of time. The
sum of these thoughts added up
make your life; therefore one's
thoughts strongly affect his future—
his success or his defeat.
A man's material success in the
world shows his past and the
the thoughts therein. The right
or good thoughts and the wrong
or bad thoughts all show through.
Just as when in high school we
were never required to learn the
fundamentals of grammar and
here in college find how foolish
we were to think that we had
"gotten by with something." No,
we never do "get by with anything."
Yes, people change, and
that is fine, but still past mistakes
must be paid for,, and are
inevitably paid for.'

actions may cover a lifetime, and
it is guaranteed to be difficult.
It may be physical or mental. It
may come in sorrow, discouragement,
or suffering that will demand
the strength of a great
faith and a belief on the Power of
Right.
It may be that the test will
come in the material work-a-day
world, where one's mentality will
have to battle brilliant minds. If
a mind has been carefully trained
in good habits of thinking quickly
and clearly, if it has been-filled
with the right information,
it will be prepared. Every second,
every thought, every word, every
action, every bit of knowledge
picked up on life's way—even
thoughts entirely forgotten—will
unite. We willfully make our own
Heaven or hell through preparedness
or through indifference.

A LOOK AROUND TOWN
Good Saturday Flicks, Finally!
Saturday night movies are no
longer orgies of space men, jungle
serpents and cattle drives. During
Winter quarter, highly rated movies
have been shown at the Tiger
or War Eagle
Theatres on Saturday.
Appreciation is
expressed h e re
to t h e theater
managers who
h a v e realized
that a top-notch
show can attract
a capacity crowd
on Sunday after- DeRing
noon, even though it has already
appeared on the marquee the previous
evening.
ON PARKING
Freshman, leave your cars at
home! This idea, if enforced at
API, would relieve two prevelant
problems: The need to humble the
freshman's soul (they apparently
have no regard for "traditions,"
i.e., rat caps, walking on the grass
the Main Gate) and the traffic
situation.
Except for the lucky few who
arrive early, driving a vehicle to
class usually results in a longer
walk than the initial trip from
home to campus. Rather, than
share these treks across campus
with the freshman, Why not award
this privilege solely to their class.
Remember, as you scurry along,
each Frosh-owned auto, driven or
parked, is creating a traffic hazard
with which you must cope or
is located in a space you could
have claimed for yourself.
DIVIDED YOU WILL STAND
Quality of performance was definitely
lacking at Skit Nite, February
16 and 17. This deficit was
notedly obvious in the fraternity
competition.
BY BEFKE DeRING
Several of the skits were outstanding,
but the majority of the
performers would have enhanced
their reputaton far more by staying
home. The fault lies mainly in
a lack of. time to participate in the
many campus activities, not in a
lack of interest. Judging from past
records, Sphinx Sing, scheduled
during Spring quarter, seems
doomed to similar mediocrity.
Eleven of the fraternities appeared
in Skit Nite, which means
approximately half of the chapters
were represented. In view of this
fact, allowing ten or half of the
fraternities to enter Skit Nite and
letting the remaining groups compete
in Sphinx Sing would seem
a logical solution for improving
the entertainment value of both
events and for lessening the activity
load supported by the Greek-letter
organizations.
AS I SEE IT
A Vet Beside The Door
The big guy at the door was
taking his job quite seriously. A
smooth-talking fraternity man
stood before him, gesturing frantically
in hopes that the staunch
fellow might allow him to pass
into the room lined with a maze
of r e g i s t r a t i o n tables. Upon
close glance, it was evident
that the pins each wore upon his
chest were of the same fraternal
organization. Eavesdropping proved
a key rushee involved, a green
youngster who would be more
than slightly impressed by the
frat man's effective handling of
his registration problems. Still
the stone-faced veteran s t o od
fast.
Auburn's Veteran Association
continues to operate as one of the
most efficient organizations on
campus. There can be no denial
that the job they're taken over
by their own accord is the nastiest
task imaginable on the
Plain. For several days each quarter,
this energetic bunch of ex-servicemen
devote their time to
the solution of a chaotic registration
problem. No other group
on campus seemed capable or was
willing to handle this confusing
situation, so the AVA stepped in.
Under their guidance, many of
the kinks in a perplexing setup
have been removed.
But these fellows don't stop
here. In addition to minor responsibilities
assumed by the men
who wear the bright orange armband,
Auburn's annual soapbox
derby is pinpointed a key project.
Each spring this Indianapolis
inspired event is a popular spectacle
of Village Fair. Auburn students
and guests alike thrill to
the heated competition of campus
organizations, who insert their
best drivers behind the wheels of
homemade racers. It's become
quite an attraction.
As our college days pass on,
lustre naturally wears thin. It's
usually the younger set who display
the greatest spirit and get
most of the work done. But here
we view the vital results of long
hours spent by a competent crew
BY JIM PHILLIPS
of fellows generally older than
the typical college
senior —
hours spent toward
the betterment
of an institution
they ob-v
i o u s 1 y love.
They're contributing
as much
as, if not m o r e
Phillips than any campus
organization bolstered by ambitious
youngsters.
The men who have traded their
uniforms for an orange armband
and a load of books shouldn't
soon be forgotten.
Two small boys in the Salvation
Army dinner displayed their
grimmy white tablecloths.
"Mine's dirtier than you'rn,"
exclaimed one triumphantly.
"Huh," snorted the other disdainfully,
"you're t w o years
older'n me."

Psychology Students Establish Club
PSI, a pre-professional association
for psychology majors and
minors, was established at Auburn
recently. The purpose of the
club is to promote a professional
understanding among students of
psychology.
Although the club is very
young, it is enjoying rapid growth
led by Josh Walling, president;
Frank Price, vice-president; Anne
Ford, secretary; and Bill Seide-man,
treasurer, PSI has presented
a constitution to the Student Senate
and is making definite plans
for an improved program for
Village Fair.
The planned programs have
been concerned with such topics
as hypnosis, mental health, and
projective tests. Programs thus
far have been planned and presented
by the Program Committee.
Hal Rosen, the chairman,
recognizes a wealth of program
material in the mental health
personnel of Alabama.
Much interest for this c l ub
has been displayed by the students
to date. It is hoped by club
members that all psychology majors
and minors with ten or more
quarter hours of psychology will
attend and participate in making
PSI an outstanding student organization.

SPOTLIGHT
ON
SPORTS
By RONNIE McCULLARS . . . Sports Editor
They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but
people who believe in this theory may take a look at the basketball
team of the Loveliest Village for a rebuttal of that thought.
It struck twice on the basketballing Tigers.
For two consecutive seasons the "shufflemen" have ended up
the season in the No. 2 spot in the Southeastern Conference and
defeated the conference champions, being Kentucky in '58 and
Mississippi State in '59.
FOR A STORY of heroics, desire and loyaltiness turn to the
chapter in your basketball notebook entitled, Rex Frederick.
Prior to the start of the 1959 season, Rex was operated on for
a tumor of his right knee. It was removed. He played his first
game of the just ended season in the Birmingham Classic.
The 6-5 center from Corner
was doing a remarkable job of
basketballing after his operation.
But it wasn't long before
the congenial "Ugly Man" was
hampered by the same knee
again.
A doctor's analysis showed
that the tumor was coming
back.
It looked as if Auburn's co-captain
might sit out the remainder
of the season. Coach
Joel Eaves talked with Rex and
told him that, any time the pain
was too much to let him know
and he would be taken out of
the line up. "But knowing
Rex as the kind of boy that he
is, he would p l a y until he
couldn't play any more," are
the words Coach Eaves used in
praising the big center.
And big Rex played and continued to play. He finished the
season as one of the top ten rebounders in the league and made

HOW TO BE A
THUMPING BIG SUCCESS ON CAMPUS
While up in the attic last week hiding from the tax man, I came
across a letter, yellow with age, that dear old Dad had sent me
when I was a freshman. I reproduce it below in the hope that
it may light your way as it did inme./- :_ „ ^
"Dear Son, (Dad always' c^l|d gifSdn. This was short for
Sonnenberg, which used ttf be my %cst .name. I traded it last
year with a man named Max. He threw in two outfielders and
a left-handed pitcher . . . But I digress.)
".Dear Son, (Dad wrote)
"I suppose you are finding college very big and bewildering,
and maybea little frightening too. Well, it need not be that way
if you will follow a few simple rules.
"First of all, if you have any problems, take them to your
teachers. They want to help you. That's what they are there for.
Perhaps they seem a little aloof, but that is only because they
are so busy. You will find your teachers warm as toast and
friendly as pups if you will call on them at an hour when they
are not overly busy. Four a.m., for instance.
"Second, leaJm to budget your time. What with classes, activities,
studying, and social life all competing for your time, it is
easy to fall into sloppy habits. Set up a rigid schedule and stick
to it. Remember, there are only 24 hours a day. Three of these
hours must be spent in class. For every hour in class you must,
of course, spend two hours studying. So there go six more
hours. Then, as we all know, for every hour studying, you must
spend two hours sleeping. This accounts for twelve more hours.
Then there are meals—three hours each for breakfast and lunch,
four hours for dinner. Never forget, Sonnenberg, you must
chew each mouthful twelve hundred times. You show me a
backward student, and I'll show you a man who bolts his food.
tewoffliiAekr...-
"But college is more than just sleeping, eating, and studying.
There are also many interesting activities which you must not
miss. You'll want to give at least three hours a day to the campus
newspaper, and, of course, another three hours each to the
dramatic and music clubs. And let's say a total of eight hours
daily to the stamp club, the debating club, and the foreign
affairs club. Then, of course, nine or ten hours for fencing and
bird-walking, and another ten or twelve for ceramics and three-card
monte.
"Finally we come to the most important part of each day—
what I call 'The Quiet Time.' This is a period in which you
renew yourself—just relax and think great thoughts and smoke
Marlboro Cigarettes. Why Marlboro? Because they are the
natural complement to the active life. They have better 'makin 's';
the filter filters; the flavor is rich and mellow and a treat to the
tired, a boon to the spent, a safe harbor to the storm-tossed.
That's why.
"Well, Sonnenberg, I guess that's about all. Your kindly old
mother sends her love. She lias just finished putting up rather
a large batch of pickles—in fact, 350,000 jars. I told her that
with you away at school, we would not need so many; but
kindly old Mother is such a creature of habit that, though I hit
her quite hard several times, I could not dissuade her.
Keep 'em flying,
Dad."

Awards Slated During Halftime

Plainsman Sports Writer
Crystal-ball gazers and palmists may be able to forettell
coming events, but the only way you can gain a positive
indication of Auburn's pigskin future comes your way Saturday
March 7, at 2 pm. At that time the Blue team, led by
Jackie Burkett and Lamar Rawson, and the Orange team
with Johnny Kern and Bobby Lauder at the helm will step
upon the plain of Cliff Hare for the annual A-Day game and
give the SEC an inkling of what to expect, come September.
At first glance the B l ue
team with its majority of Tiger
seniors would appear to
have the edge. The veterans,
however appear to have the
edge. The veterans, however,
have been in sweat clothes and
the rest of the squad has borne
the brunt of the scrimmage.
The probable starters for the
boys in Blue line uup in this
order: left end, Bobby Wasden;
left tackle, Teddy Foret; left
guard, Zeke Smith; center, Jackie
Burkett; right guard, Haywood
Warrick; right tackle,
Ken Rice; right end, Leo Sexton;
quarterback, Richard Wood;
lefthalf, Jimmy Pettus; right-half
Lamar Rawson; fullback,
Ed Dyas.
The Orange men stand ready
also. Their possible starting
eleven are: left end, Bobby Foret;
left tackle, Leon Myers;
left guard, Jimmy Putnam; center,
Wayne Frazier; right guard,

With basketball season over
and spring near at hand, approximately
25 candidates turned
out for baseball practice in early
February to defend Auburn's
SEC baseball championship.
Conditioning has b e e n the
emphasized i t e m during the
early workouts of- hitting, bunting
and sliding practice.
The infield looks solid with
eight candidates jockeying for
positions, and the outfield shows
strength as positions are contested
there. The catchers are
four strong with the problem
6—THE PLAINSMAN
being pitching.
Allen Kouch and Fred Mc-
Duffy return as the two most
experienced pitchers. Fred Mc-
Duffy has been unable to throw
in practice, hindered by a sore
shoulder. Eight pitchers have reported
for practice, but most
lack SEC experience.
The season opens against
Springhill in Mobile on Sunday
following graduation. The Tigers
then play FSU three games and
the University of Florida three
games, before coming home to
make a home stand after spring
holidays.

The state coliseum in Montgomery was the stage for the climax
of the greatest basketball season ever in Auburn's history.
Ending the season with a slashing victory over the Alabama
Crimson Tide, by a score of 09 to 50. This brought the Tigers
win number twenty, against only two defeats.
Coach Joel Eaves called his 1959 edition of the Auburn Tigers,
"the greatest he ever coached." This is one of the highest honors
"that any Auburn player could receive anywhere.
The 1959-1960 season will find a few most honorable names
missing from the familiar Plainsmen roster. Rex Frederick, Jimmy
Lee, Bill (Gregory, and Ty. Samples have all contributed their
share for Auburn in the past four years. Frederick was named
to.the: first team all?SEC by the Associated Press, and Jimmy
Lee plus his guard partner, Henry Hart, both made the second
team.
I can't see how any team could lose four good men such as
these, and still be a contender for the conference crown the
following year. But with Vaughn and Fibbe back at forward,
Hart and Qilbert at guard, and possibly 6 ft. 7 in. Leon Posey at
center, the Tigers seem to have as good a chance as anyone else

Alabama Frosh
Tumble Auburn
With Finesse
| y JAMES ABRAMS
If Alabama's freshman team
is any indication of future basketball
days upstate, then look
out SEC.
Displaying all the finesse and
polish of a varsity squad, Bama's
frosh poured on the coals as they
defeated the Auburn frosh 87-
67. The Baby Tide thrilled fans
in this pre-varsity match with
accurate shooting and one of.
the fastest fast breaks viewed
in many a year.'
Bama's loaded with height—
Paine 6-8, Ledbetter 6-7, two
Smith boys 6-5, and a whole
host of sixrfooters. Bpb Gavin
and Porter Powers team up at
guard position, giving resemb-lence
to Tech's fine p a i r of
guards.
Bob Gavin, of the Baby Tide,
was high point man with .22.
Two other Tiders followed closer
ly. McKinney had 21 and Powers
hit for 19. Smith added eight
points to the Alabama attack
and was the game's leading rer
bounder with 16.
Auburn placed four men in
the double figures column. John
Gibliant and Leon Posey paced
the Tigers with 15 points each.
John H e l m ' l i n g e r dropped
through 13 and John Darby
collected 10 to round out the
Auburn scoring.
Gibliant led the Baby Tigers
in the rebound department with
15. Posey grabbed off 12 and
Helmlinger cleared the boards
for 11. Helmlinger had the best
field goal percentage, hitting on
6 of 11 shots.
Auburn t o o k an early 5-4
lead on a jump shot and free
throw by Posey, with Helmlinger
hiting the go-ahead two
pointer. B a m a scored eight
straight points while holding
Auburn scoreless to pull away
12-5 with 13:41 remaining in the
first half. Bama continued to hit
and at half time hejd a 17 point
lead, 45-28.
Midway of the second half the
scrappers from Bama spurted to
a 30 point lead, 73-43, mainly
due to the standout performances
of Gavin and Powers. Alabama's
coach, Riley, substituted
freely butthepojnt spread never
dropped below 22 points.^ j
Bama's victory • boosted, their
freshipan record to 11-3 for the
season while the Baby Tigers
finished with a 12-4 mark.

Humble Fading Tide, 69-50

For the third time this sea-spp
{he Alburn Tigers fpught
off the storm troopers .of Alabama
Crimson Tide and turned
the tidal wave into a mere ripple,
this time by a 69-50 score.
Before a capacity crowd of
10,000 in Montgomery's . spacious
Cow Palace, the Tigers
put the finishing touches on the
best season in API basketball
history. By posting a 20-2 mark
for the season, the Plainsmen
topped the old record of 16-6.
In conference play the Tigers
shattered the previous high of
11 SEC victories as they copped
12 of 14 this year.
Four Alabama players aryl
one Auburnite left the game by
the foul route in what resembled
a tag team match at times as
tempers flared frequently in
the close bodily contact of the
game. A total of 50 fouls, 30
cpmmitted by Bama and 20 by
Auburn, slowed the game considerably.
Auburn actually won the
garoe at the foul line. Almost
half of the Tiger points came
on free throws. The Tigers conr
Go Into Last Round
Of Basketball
By BONNIE HARRIS
Intramural Sports Editor
The large crowds on hand to
witness the basketball playoffs
last week are a good indication
of the quality of basketball played
in the intramural leagues.
Some went home a bit sad, hoping
f o r better fortunes next
year. For others, this was the
year to take home the trophy.
Nothing but happiness for them.
In the dorm playoffs, AH2
opened with close 32-30 victory
over R. The Wild Chiids waited
late to run up a 67-25 margin
over a game L crew.
L came back to eliminate R
from, the picture with a 31-25
win. In the meantime D and Y2
were battling for their' league
crown and' the right to a. berth
"in itheVplaybffs. Things looked
dark for Y2 as they faced the
task of having to beat D two
successive games to w i n the
crown. D had beaten them earlier
in the season. Y2 was ready
for the challenge arid stormed
the fort with a 33-31 overtime
triumph in the first game, and
finajly put P out of the running
with a 36r29 victory in the seer
ond contest.
Advancing to the playoffs, Y2
was beaten by the Wild Ghilds,
49-33. It was the slimmest margin
all year for the Wild Ghilds,
and their first' time to score less
than 50 points. The WC now appear
set to go all the way.
Florida Five opened the JnT
dependent tournament by handing
#ie. Rebels their first loss in
a 49-43 conquest. Florida Five
then forfeited to SAE before
putting the Rebels out 55-37.

charity line for a nifty 75 per
cent while Alabama made good
16 of their 24 free throws for
a 66.7 average.
Henry Hart led all scorers
with 22 points, 16 of these resulting
from free throws. Jimmy
Lee was runner up in the
scoring department with 18 and
Jimmy Fibbe hit the double
figure mark with 15.
Rex Frederick, playing his
final college game, really prpvr
ed his value as an All-SEC
player. Rex put up a tremenT
dous fight in the battle under
the boards and gathered in 13
rebounds to lead Auburn in
that department. Frederick was
held to eight points b u t his
stalwart defensive game was an
invaluable aid in the Tiger victory.
Auburn hit on 18 of 44 field
goals for a 40.9 percentage. Alabama
connected on but 17 of 53
attempts from the floor to post
a 32.1 average.
Dan Quindazzi spearheaded
the Alabama attack by sinking
11 points and leading all players
with 14 rebounds. Johnson
was the only other Bama player
to reach double figures. He
led Alabama scoring with 13
points.
Auburn took a quick 3-0 lead
on a free throw by Hart and a
corner jump shot by Lee. Clyde
Frederick hit a two-pointer to
bring the score to 3-2 and that
is the closest Alabama came
all night.
Rex Frederick hit two more
quick baskets, Lee sank a free
throw, and Vaughn added two
foul tosses, and a two-pointer to
send Auburn surging ahead 12-
2.
Dan Quindazzi entered the
game for Alabama at the end
of the first period and in a
show of brute force edged Alabama
to within seven points
of the Tigers. Quindazzi hit
three free throws and added a
field goal, while Lee hit a free
toss, to bring the Tide up 25-18
with six minutes remaining in
the half.
Hart drove in for two layups
and hit three charity tosses to
give Auburn a 13-point spread
at halftime. The score—37-24.
Auburn came back roaring in
the second half and let it be
known that they had no intentions
of letting Alabama close
the gap.
Hart started things off with
a bang by driving in for a lay-up
and adding a free throw.
Kaplan got one for Bama and

Foolish boy—the best way to make a bottle
of Coke disappear is to drink it! Yes,,
swallow after swallow, that cold crisp taste is
so deeply satisfying... and the lively lift
is so bright and cheerful the whole day
seems happier, just like magic. So open
sesame! Just uncap the bottle and get
ready for The Pause That Refreshes!

Chevy showed the best brakes of the
leading low-priced three in a test of
repeated stops at highway speeds conducted
and certified by NASCAR*.
Chevy also won over the other two in
a NASCAR economy run—with the
highest gas mileage for 6's and V8's at
cruising speeds of just over 55 miles
an hour.
Here's a car that knows how to get
the most out of a gallon. And it's the
only car in its field to bring you
hydraulic valve lifters in all popular
engines—6 and V8. This means
smoother, quieter performance for you.
There are many other advances just
as fundamental as the efficiency of
Chevrolet's engines and the dependability
of its new brakes (with more lining

But why not stop by your dealer's and
let Chevy do its own sweet talking!

Umbach... Talented Coach
By JIM PHILLIPS
Editorial Assistant
"The day's soon to come when
wrestling scholarships will be
offered at Auburn," said fabulous
Arnold "Swede" Umbach,
coach of the sturdy Tiger grap-plers.
"After we begin to bring
boys here on grants-in-aid, our
squad will be set to compete on
even terms with opponents
from • sections where wrestling
is the craze."
Tutoring wrestling without a
lone scholarship granted during
his thirteen year tendure on the
Plain, Umbach displays a glittering
record. Since the 1946
season, year in which^this soft-spoken
Oklahoman inaugurated
the sport here at Auburn, his
teams have been victorious on
97 occasions, while tasting defeat
but eleven times and tying
a match. Thirteen consecutive
Southeastern Intercol 1 e g i a t e
Wrestling Association crowns

have been theirs.
While Auburn's grid and basketball
units were dropping
quite more contests than they
were usually salvaging, Umbach
was piling up six SEIWA
titles. During the sports slump
preceding the late Tiger downpour,
Swede was the lone Auburn
mentor to taste any degree
of success. Now that the
Plainsman gridders and court-men
have surged to national
prominence, Coach Umbach
continues to win right a l o ng
with the rest of them—Ralph
Jordan, Joel Eaves, and Company.
Two of Auburn's all-time
wrestling defeats were suffered
this winter to teams loaded
with scholarship talent. The
Tiger musclemen fought both
matches to standstills before
being decisioned by experienced
squads from VPI and Illinois.
That's no small credit to
a bunch of college fellows who
do battle on their own time,
with satisfaction the sole r e ward.
Only two members of the
1959 squad entered API with
any previous wrestling experience
of the organized variety.
The rest have characterized a
typical Umbach story—he has
to take them inexperienced, and
quickly mold his boys into effective
performers. This guy
does it too—with finesse.
The modest Umbach summed
up his present outlook with an
optimistic note, "Just now, our
Athletic Association can't afford
to offer wrestling scholarships
when exceptional Alabama
talent appears so rarely.
But the sport is currently improving
throughout this state.
The time will come, before too
long, when a pool of solid schoolboy
wrestlers will be available
to local colleges. In Georgia
and surrounding states, high
school grappling is likewise becoming
emphasized. Then not
only Auburn, but other SEC
schools might start grant programs."
So a Southeastern Conference
wrestling setup may well be in
the making. If and when that
league is formed, it's not hard
to decide which squad should
dominate action. Auburn grapp-lers
and their Swede have proven
an unbeatable combination.

the Associated Press' All-SEC first team.
Playing under the painful handicap, Rex was among the outstanding
in guiding the Tigers through a 20-2 season—a season
all Auburnites can be proud of.
FINALS OR NO FINALS, most of us w i l l be out at Cliff
Hare Stadium Saturday afternoon watching the 1959 Auburn
footballing Tigers in action.
From all accounts Saturday's A-Day game will be a good one.
It'll be the seniors first showing this spring and it will be the
first showing of. the nation's No. 1 "football team for 1959.
Coach Ralph Jordan may have another National Champion
next fall. The Tigers—playing without the assistance of seniors
Zeke Smith, Jackie Burkett, Teddy Foret, Leo Sexton, Bobby
Lauder, Lamar Rawson and many others—have looked like an
unbeatable combination of speed, desire, aggressiveness and
ability in the past three weeks of spring drills.
The A-Day game will be a contest of the best football players
in the South fighting for starting berths on the '59 Auburn
eleven which looks very bit the champion at this date.

in the SEC. Of course the big question marks will be rebounds
and trying to fill Frederick's shoes under the board.
With Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee coming south to
play Auburn, the odds look even better. There will be a few
old faces missing from these teams also, such players as Kentucky's
Johnny Cox, Tennessee's .Gene Tormohlen and Ken
Coulter, and Vandy's Jim Henry. Cox has been the clutch man
all year for the Wildcats, the big problem for Coach Rupp is to
replace Cox.
The Tigers will be visiting Mississippi State in Starkville
(plus a cow bell symphony), but this won't be so bad as Bailey
Howell and five other Maroons who won't be there. Then there's
Blemker and Randall, who won't be around to help the Georgia
Tech cause. The Bulldogs of Georgia will lose some of their
bite, as captain Fred Edmondson departs with- four other seniors.
Then Kaplan will be back on the streets of New York City,
Lynn Moon and Jim Crisco both inmates of LSU will be gone,
Mississippi's Jim Atherton and Tulane's Gary Stoll, will also
be missing.
After reviewing the losses of everybody else in SEC, it's not
hard to see that Auburn will again next year have a good basketball
team. But when the curtain rises next fall in the Sports
Arena it will not be the same without Rex on the boards and
Jimmy Lee's set shots.

Florida Five must now beat
ASAE twice to win the playoff.
It was erroneously reported
here last week that BSU had
won the Church League. BSU
and Newman Club ended in a
tie for the league, however, and
will meet for the crown. Newman
Club edged Wesley l a st
week in a 46-44 overtime battle
while BSU was inactive.
PKA and TC opened the frat
playoffs with victories. PKA
edged a hard fighting TX gang,
39-38. TX staged a late comeback
.that just fell short. TC
won over KS, 57-35.
In the second round, PKA
hung a 49-37 defeat on TC. TX
eliminated KS from the playoffs
with a c l o s e 39-37 win. TX
turned around and put TC out
also by a 52-50 margin in the
quarter-finals.
PKA and TX were to meet
early this week in the finals.
PKA needs only one win to sew
it up.
Since this is the last edition of
The Plainsman this quarter, and
this writer hopes to be leaving
the Plains v i a graduation, I
would like to thank Coach
Evans and all those associated
with the Intramural program for
their help in making this column
possible. It has been an enjoyable
and rewarding experience.
So long and War Eagle!

Hart one for the Plainsmen,
making the scoreboard read
42-25 with 17:15 remaining.
Alabama rallied with Quin-dazzi
hitting on a jump shot
and Kaplan connecting on a
free throw. White hit, another
free toss and Beard stole the
ball for another two-pointer to
make the score 49-37.
Porter Gilbert sank two from
the charity line, Quindazzi hit
on a jump shot and Gilbert
broke free on the shuffle to
add two more. Now it was
Bama's turn. White sank a two-pointer,
Sink got a free throw
and Johnson hit a field goal to
make it 53-44, the closest Alabama
could come during the
second half.
From then on Hart, Fibbe,
and Lee kept Bama at a comfortable
distance and when the
final horn sounded Auburn
handed Alabama loss number
12 of the season and wrapped
up a second place tie in the
SEC.
