Vandals Spray Paint On Biggin Walls,
Deface Columns Of Presbyterian Church
By BOB JENNINGS
Walls a n d students' desks in
Biggin Hall were sprayed with
green paint Saturday between 11
and 11:30 p.m. The Presbyterian
Church and Kwik-Chek super­market
also were defaced with
green paint the same night. No
clue as to the identity of the per­son
or persons responsible for the
•vandalism has as yet been estab­lished.

Mr. Story, the night watchman,
discovered the damage in Biggin
when,he entered the building to
close it at 11:45. Green paint had
been sprayed on walls, partitions,

SUSGA Officers
Ricky Becker of Auburn re­cently
announced newly elected
officers of the Southern Univer­sities
Student Government As­sociation.
Becker, who is general
chairman, succeeded Sonny Gol-vett,
also of API, at the spring
SUSGA Convention here on April
25.
SUSGA s t a t e vice-chairmen
are: Louis H. Anders, University
of Alabama; Jim Apthorp, Flori­da
State University; John W.
Keasler, University of Georgia;
Fred Strache, University of Ken­tucky;

Harold Grant, assistant to
the director of student affairs at
Auburn, was named executive

a blackboard, and several desks.
The word "Sewane" had been
written- on a first-floor wall, and
the letters "SAE" had been print­ed
on a window. "FSU" was
printed in red oh a basement wall.
There were several other traces
of red in Biggin. The building was
inspected Sunday by Sam Hurst,
dean of the School of Architecture
and the Arts, and M. E. Dawson,
chief, security officer. No evidence
of theft or other destruction was
discovered.
Obscenities were painted on
the limestone columns on the
f r o n t of t h e Presbyterian
Church. Until restoration is be­gun,
no estimate-can be made
of labor necessary to repair the'
columns involved. The damage
is probably permanent. Cost of
repairs to Biggin will be. com­paratively
negligible.
The campus police questioned
some of the students who were
working in Biggin Saturday night,
but none of them had seen any­one
who might have been respon­sible
for the damage. Their state­ments
fixed the time it occurred
as after 11 p.m.
Both Chief Clyde Ellis of the
city police and Chief Dawson
urge anyone with possible infor­mation
to contact them. Helpful
information would include per­sons
seen in the vicinity of the
damaged areas Saturday night,
paint cans used by the vandals,
and anything else that might
identify the persons involved.'
Although no clue to the. cul­prits'
identity has been establish­ed,
police hope to have a definite
lead when they have questioned all
those who might have some in­formation.

All My Sons' Ends
Fortieth Players Season
By F. NOEL LEON
The fortieth season- of the Au­burn
Players came to an end last
Saturday with the final showing
of All My Sons at the "Y" Hut.
The. attendance to all eight per­formances
was excellent, with a
full house for each performance
and an overflow crowd on several
nights.
Next season for the Players will
begin this summer quarter with
the presentation of-Black Chiffon;
a psychological study in three acts.
The play will be directed by Tel­fair
B. Peet, of. the Dramatic Arts
Department. It will run from July
15-18, and 23-25.
Fall quarter, The Boy Friend, a
musical of the roaring twenties,
will be featured. This play's dir­ection
will be under Robert
Knowles.
The Auburn Players, a student
organization affiliated with the
Dramatic Arts Department, was
originated in 1914, under the name
of the Auburn Footlights. Their
first production, Owin' To Maggie,
was followed by Nell Gwyn.
The Auburn Footlights ceased to
exist during World War I, only to
reunite and form The Auburn
dramatics Club in 1919. Thereafter
the name has been changed to the
present Auburn Players. This
group has entertained students,
faculty and town people by pre­senting
over 125 plays since their
establishment.
Many have the belief, that the
Players are merely a group, that
put on plays occasionally; how-:
ever, it is a closely knit organiza­tion,
highly technical and involv­ing
much theory a n d practice.
Each play presented represents
long hours of. hard work for stage
technicians as well as actors.
At the present time the active
members of. the Players number
approximately sixty-five. This
year the Players officers are: Jane
Griffin, president; Francis Mc-
Kinney, vice president; and Kitty
Holland, secretary.
Patio Dance Scheduled
For May 22 At Union
A patio dance is normally given
on Tuesday nights at the Union,
but due to the l a c k of interest
from students, the dance was can­celled
this week. The next dance
will be held Friday, May 22, from
8:00 to 11:00 p.m. with the J. H.
Owens Combo featured. Mack
McArthur, the chairman of this
activity, promises that the atmos­phere
of the combo and decora­tions
will provide enjoyable en­tertainment.
Four Organizations

May 4 was the date of the Stu­dent
Union banquet for the Union
board members and committee­men.

fraternity.
several other projects to promote
and further scholarship on the
campus. A booklet entitled "Hints
on How To Study" is distributed
during orientation week. A smok­er
is also held each quarter for
those who made a 2.0 or higher
and can still achieve a 2.5 over­all
average during any part of
their freshman year.
Said Jimbo Rogers, "Since Phi
Eta Sigma is an honorary scho­lastic
fraternity, we feel that we
should present a trophy to stimu­late
interest. A similar trophy is
given to the division of Magnolia
or Auburn Hall whose freshman
have the highest scholastic aver­age."
These trophies, which were
only initiated this year, are rota­ting
trophies, the fraternity tro­phy
being presented once a year,
and the dormitory trophy being
presented each quarter.
This is the first year that the
trophy has been given, so it is a
special honor to h a v e won it.
Lambda Chi's pledge class had a
respectable over-all average of
1.28 in winning this award.
fall's curriculum.
They explained that at least
two previous attempts to install
the" elective have been turned
down, once- by the Curriculum
Committee, which usually makes
the preliminary decisions con­cerning
curriculum changes, and
again by the Council of Deans
which has the final say-so.
According to Mrs. Land, a for­mal
request by a student com­mittee
would prompt the two PE
departments to petition t he
Council of Deans once more. At
present, the only first-aid course
offered in the school is one re­quired'for
PE majors and which
takes a pre-requisite course in
anatomy. The pre-requisite, she
explained, prevents more than a
few from scheduling the first-aid
course.
Boolie Hill, president of the
student body, and Charles Mc­Arthur,
vice-president of the stu­dent
body, have agreed to ap­point
a student committee to
draw up a formal request and
present it to the PE departments.
Although this committee has not
yet been appointed, it's member­ship
is expected to be drawn from
the Senate and from certain posi­tions
on Hill's new executive cabi­net.

New Cheerleaders Plan '59 Season
Musical Cheers
To Be Featured
Some few editions ago a Plains­man
article appeared telling of the
pitched battle being waged by
some 120 students vying for one
of the seven cheerleader positions.
Those seven were revealed at the
A-Day Game. They are: Jerry
Max Barnes, head cheerleader,
Ray Duncan, Nancy Waller, Ophe­lia
Jones, Joe Pate, Joe Ed Voss,
and Janice Hipsh. The two alter­nate
cheerleaders are Gayle Jones
and Kenneth McCloud.
Barnes stated in a recent inter­view
that the group was working
with the band in developing some
new cheers which will feature
music, and also that the cheer­leaders
will be attired in n ew
uniforms next year. He urges all
students to pick up a yell pam­phlet
and begin getting ready for
the '59 football season now. .

likes Parties, Social Life And Parties
BY &ON LOUGHRAN and JANICE DUFFY
Last we6k We visited the f r a t e r n i t y that claims, a n d right­fully
so, to be t h e first f r a t e r n i t y on campus—Phi Delta The-ta.
A chapter was organized here at Auburn in 1879, though
nationally it was first organized in 1848. A u b u r n ' s Alabama
Alpha Chapter has 70 members, and nationally the fraternity
has 121 chapters in 46 states. .
Pre-Registration
For Next Quarter
To Begin May 13
Pre-registration for all cur­rently
enrolled students will be­gin
Wednesday, May 13, at 8:00
a.m. when seniors and juniors
will be allowed to register. Soph­omore
registration will be held
the following day from 8:00 a.m.
until 4:30 that afternoon. Fresh­man
registration will fall on Fri­day,
May 15, from 8:00 a.m. un­til
4:30 p.m.
Graduate students may regis­ter
at any time during the three-day
period.
Students who will be changing
schools must wait until the reg­ular
registration dates of June 10,
11. At this time, all new transfer
students will also register.
Fee payments will be accepted
in the basement of Samford Hall
May 25-27. Late fees will begin
May 28.
Summer quarter classwork will
start June 12 for all students.
WORKING HARD at developing new cheers are the 1959
cheerleaders, Ray Duncan, Kenneth McCloud, Joe Pate, Jerry
Max Barnes (head cheerleaders), and Joe Ed Voss. On the second
layer are Ophelia Jones and Janice Hipsh and Nancy Waller is
perched on top.
One of the listed objectives of
Phi Delta Theta is that it is to be
a social fraternity, and social it
seems to be. They have an aver­age
of two hi-fi parties per week,
and a minimum of three organ­ized
(registered) parties e a ch
month. This spring quarter t h ey
held their formal. The weekend
centering around the formal con­sists
of a Blazer Party F r i d ay
night, a party at the lake Satur­day
afternoon, and the formal at
Columbus Saturday night. The
whole chapter and their dates are
taken to Columbus and back
again by bus. This extends the
party while enroute and insures
the safe return of the revellers.
On a more serious side, the Phi:

Well, those were inspiring

easy it is to "not let anyone stop

you might say "inspired", cause

how I just couldn't help wonder­ing
who was this "anyone" who
was out to stop me.
Well anyway, I went to State
College soon after graduation,
leaving my job at the filling sta
tion, and bidding everyone a fond
ladieu. Man, I was ready to go!
Tit's pretty hard not to be enthu­siastic
about this giant step in
>your life, knowing that a lot of
people's good wishes are going
with you, including yours.
Registration at State wasn't so
tough, considering the fact that I
could schedule only one course
requirecMbyx my curriculum. The
bther courses were evidently
(filled up by upperclassmen try­ing
to overcome the-same harsh
beginning^ how fbund. myself in.
No, mister, registration wasn't
tough; it was downright pitiful.
Classes started soon afterward
and it was then that I saw what
being done with the multitudes
,1 remembered during registration.
There, in a .classroom equipped
for about thirty students sat about
fifty, elbow to elbow. Why, it was
hard for a student to even, write
on the paper in front of riim un­less

Don't laugh, mister; that's
the way it was, and still is.

me, "Son, the finished product is
ho better than the parts that
make it up," and I really got fed
up with the whole rotten mess. I
couldn't go on, thinking that I'd
1 know something at graduation
when I wasn't learning anything
from quarter to quarter. It would
have been mighty two-faced of
me to have gone on, so I quit.
Here I am, mister, back at the
filling station. Don't know "why
I'm working so hard .at it. Prob­ably
won't get anything out of it.
Now that I'm out of that educa­tional
mill down at State, it seems
like thinking comes a little more
clear. Believe, me, mister," I've
done a lot of thinking about a lot
of things.
Would you like to hear why I
really quit State? It wasn'tijust
the crowded classroom, it was the
time and time again I went to
the library for a book that wasn't
even on the shelves, the times
I've been tp laboratories, only to
wait in line to work with equip­ment
ten years obsolete; and the
times I've gone to dances at that
WW II bombshelter they have at
State. I could tell you much more,
mister; but don't want to take up
your time. After all, you're prob­ably
-pretty busy providing for
yourself and your family; you
haven't got time to be concerned
about some kid and his sad tale
about going to college.
But you know what, mister?
Someone in the very near future
will have to become concerned if
our American educational system
is to continue. If you'll excuse an
old cliche, "Let George do it!" is
hot the answer by any means.

more stress on scholarship, es­pecially
after last year's short­comings
in that department.' Since
last year, their scholarship has
been improving remarkably, hav­ing
come up twelve places in rank
in the fraternity scholarship rat­ings.
You should not judge them
by last year's performance in
scholastics, however, for they us­ually
represent themselves quite
nicely in that field. This is back­ed
up by 30 per cent of their
chapter being members in hono-raries.
In the race for the all-sports
trophy, they have usually come
in 4th and 5th, • and consistently
provide keen competition. One of
their greatest athletes is Z e k e
Smith, of Ail-American fame.
Two of the things they are
proud Of are: a strong Mothers'
Club, which is a great help to
them, and their little sisters, the
Alpha Delta Pi sorority. The lit­tle
sisters help the Phi Delt's with
rushing, and occasionally the fra­ternity
and sorority have a joint
chapter meeting as well as hav­ing
joint sports events.
In conclusion, they feel t h at
they are basically a social fra­ternity,
and not a political or­ganization.
They also feel that
college is primarily for their edu­cation,
and that the fraternity
develops a personality through
association with their social life.

who go to work during the
summer months should have so­cial
security cards to show their
employers the first day they go
to work on the new job." T h e s e
words of advice come from. the
Montgomery district social se­curity
office.
The office points out that origi­nal
social security cards, or dup­licates
of those that have been
lost, may be obtained without
charge at his office. "Application
blanks are available at the post
office. They should be completed,
signed, and mailed, to our office.
The original or duplicate of the
lost card will be mailed to the
applicant within a few days."

GENERALS BILL JOHNSON AND JIMBO ROGERS, and loyal
assistant Fred Renneker loudly proclaim their secession from the
Union—and the world. Scene of the annual ceremony was Toom-er's
Corner and later the Kappa Alpha Mansion.
Kappa Alpha Succeeds In Seceding
By BEFKE DeRING
With t h e Northern intruders
routed after a week of skirmish­ing,
triumphant Rebel troops
poured into town Friday after­noon,
May 1, for a celebration at
Toomer's Corner.
Caught napping at "Fort Kappa
Alpha" less than two weeks ago,
the Confederate soldiers have suc­cessfully
sent the Union forces
packing, with the exception of a
few minor incidents.
In speaking to the assembled
crowd of troops, loyal citizens of
the South, and a few carpetbag­gers,
Generals Bill Johnson and
Jimbo Rogers vowed to defend
Auburn, a flower of Southern cul­ture,
against all future invasions
with renewed vigor. In case there
was any mistaking the Confeder­ate
affiliations of their men, the
generals repeated oaths of loyalty
to the South.
The Rebels cheered as their
leaders read proclamations se-ceeding
from the Union; a term
which includes every area not lo­cated
in the South. Johnson an­nounced
that the mansion of Kap­pa
Alpha, would, as in past years,
remain the Confederate stronghold
at API.
Members of the Kappa Alpha
Order, who comprise the entire
Auburn Rebel Militia, dispersed to
their anti-bellum home following
the secession ceremony. The
battle-weary men were greeted
by tall glasses of mint julep and
lovely visions of Southern lady­hood,
properly attired in hooped
ball gowns.
The afternoon's activities were
but the beginning of the Kappa
Alpha's celebration of their alle­giance
to the South. Friday eve­ning
the officers, enlisted men,
gentlemen of the South, and their
ladies attended a ball correctly
titled "Old South" and partici­pated
in the Rose Ceremony. A
barbecue at Backwater Lake and
the "Sharecroppers' Ball" com­pleted
the weekend of. festivities
for the Rebels.

Ag Club Speaker
Points Out Falacies
In Farm Program
Four myths are being used to­day
to divide and confuse farm
people and the general public, and
in spite of its falsity this propa­ganda
is a part of a broad assault
upon the farm program.
These were charges laid at the
door of the present administra­tion
in Washington by R. C. Bam­berg,
Alabama commissioner of
agriculture and industries, in
speaking on "Agricultural Policy
in Alabama" to the members and
guests of the Agricultural Econo­mics
Club here last week.
National propaganda has been
trained against the operation of
an effective farm program. Four
great Republican myths have been
planted on farms of America and
have yielded a crop of confusion,
uncertainty, and doubt around the
future of agriculture. First, he de­clared,
farmers are told that lower
prices will solve their problems;
second, that increased efficiency is
another solution; third, that move­ment
of people out of agriculture
will solve the problems of those
who remain; and fourth, that price
support is responsible for surplus
production.
Virtually since the Secretary of
Agriculture took office, he has
been telling audiences, consum­ers
in the main, that: the farmer
is pricing himself out of his mar­kets,
the commissioner declared.
Yet, manufacturers and others
producing things required'in pro­duction
of food and fiber have not
said their prices are t o o high.
Things that farmers use in pro­duction
have b e e n increasing
while farmers' profits have been
going down year by year.
Efficiency in agriculture in the
last few years has been unmatched
in any period of our history. Yet
from 1953 through 1957, the re­wards
to the farmer and his fam­ily
have been constantly declin­ing.
Moving people out of agricul­ture
is fallcious and cruel, Bam­berg
said in pointing out that we
have experienced in the last few
years the greatest movement of
people from farms we have ever
known. Yet, total farm produc­tion
has increased to new record
DUE TO MASS' CONFUSION in the chaotic office of the
Glomerata staff it is impossible to state or even predict the date
on which the 1959 edition of the yearbook will distributed. We
assume it will be before 1960.

levels.- To: reduce the 5 million
farmers to 4 million, the Com­missioner
: said, the net total farm
income of $11.8 billion would
amount to^ an: average increase of
only about $600 per farm.
Turning to price supports as
responsible for surpluses, Bam­berg
pointed out that total farm
output in 1957 was six per cent
higher than five years earlier des­pite
a 19 per cent decline in net
farm income. However, combined
production of the six basic crops
subject to acreage allotments and
price support w a s 13 per cent
lower in 1957 than in 1952.
Commissioner Bamberg con­cluded
his address with the pre­diction
that Alabama would be­come
a great industrial state, and
that the Tennessee Valley, Sand
Mountain, grassland section of.
central Alabama, and the lower
coastal plain from the Wiregrass
to Mobile would be the major
farming areas of the'state.
The Commissioner, an Auburn
graduate, a member of its Board
of Trustees, and a farmer, was
introduced by Dr. Coyt Wilson,
assistant dean and associate direc­tor
of the API School of Agri­culture

Auburn, What's Ahead? 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 6, 1959
C/.MPOJ COMEDY LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Both Governor Patterson and State At­torney
General Gallion have recently
made pronouncements concerning integra­tion
and the fate of Alabama's p u b l ic
school system. We will not have both.
Forced to choose between compulsory in­tegration
and closing the schools, the two
top state officials have vowed that the
schools will be closed. Mr. Gallion has
stated that, in some areas, plans are being
considered to reopen the schools on a pri­vate
basis.
We have waited in vain for a definitive
statement explaining how the Auburn stu­dent
may be affected. Since this is a state
supported school, this is also a public
school. So the fate of Auburn is as much
of ja question mark as is that of any Ala­bama
grade school. The student body is—
or ought to be—deeply interested in the
answer to that question mark.
Specifically, we feel the student body
should be told the state's position on three
issues. Obviously, the first concerns the
possibility of API being closed. If the other
public schools are closed, can we remain
open? If an attempt is made to integrate
this school, will it then be closed? If the
answer to either of these two questions is
yes, we ought to be told if the plans for
private schools include Auburn. Presum­ing
that they do, under what conditions
and at what cost will students attend? Fi­nally,
how will any action affect such mat­ters
as the return of the faculty, accredi­tation
and public opinion?
Make no mistake; the possibility of
closed schools next September is a very
real fact. And therefore, the Auburn stu­dent
should have these questions answered
now.
Each student must decide how the an­swers
to these questions will relate to his
own circumstances. The Plainsman does
not propose to offer the student body a pat
determination that will be valid for all.
Indeed, this editorial reflects neither ap­proval
nor criticism of the state's policies.
It is impossible to either accept or reject
that which is not known. Realizing this,
we ask in the name of the Auburn student
body, "What may we expect?"
body, "What may we expect?" — JEN­NINGS.
Coffee And Wax
Tim Battle
Engineering For Me—Why?
Fame . . .Or Contentment?
In keeping with the increasing matur­ity
of the average campus inhabitant, the
Union Building cafeteria now offers cof­fee
in paper cups only. No longer do fresh­men
have hard porcelain saucers on which
to cut their teeth, but the large population
of 15th quarter juniors, graduate students
and professors, who abide here, have fi­nally
been given a supple material soft
enough for the tenderest of sore gums.
These cups are not only a boon to oral
aperatures, but they are also the salvation
of dishwashers. Their main feature is a
plastic handle which can be detached from
the cup in order that the latter part may
be disposed of without any use of soap­suds
whatsoever.
It is also a well-known fact that melted
wax considerably increases the flavor of
tasty coffee.
We feel that only Auburn's historians
will appreciate the significance of this
change. Speaking contemporarily how­ever,
we feel that these cups and their pro­moter
should go neither unheralded nor
unrewarded.
And so, for this extraordinary service,
the Plainsman is proud to present t h e ir
first annual award for outstanding human­istic
endeavor to the War Eagle Cafeteria,
the dieticians and the fuddy-duddy who is
making all the money from the left-over
coffee.—ROLL.
My name is Sammy Sliderule, engineering stu­dent
extraordinary. Someone asked me the other
day "Why are you studying engineering?" Would
you guess that I couldn't even answer him. When I got back to my
room I sat down and started thinking about why I was in college and
especially studying engineering. I certainly ran into trouble finding
reasons. I knew that the average salary for a college graduate was
higher than the normal working man's salary and that a graduate
engineer made even more money over a long period of. time. But I
also knew that these salaries were not impossible to attain if you
have the ability and just a high school education. Because of this
fact I had to conclude that money can't be the prime factor for con­tinuing
my education.
Another Highway Death...
In Panama City a man has been;killed
and another Auburn student injured in an
automobile accident. The distance makes
the affair none the less tragic. .
The reasons, if a cause and effect re­lationship
is applicable in such cases1, lay
in the mutual refusal of the two parties tp
think. The man was walking in the high­way
on a foggy night. The student was
driving too fast for safety under the pre­vailing
conditions. Neither f orsaw* or even
considered, the consequences of their care­lessness.
Only one of them is alive to re­flect
on the matter.
The pedestrian had been warned only
minutes before the accident that to walk
along the road on such a night was very
dangerous. He must not have listened very
attentively. He's dead.
The driver has heard, or perhaps seen
firsthand, the most horrifying results of
excessive speed. He didn't listen either.
His vision may be permanently impaired
as a result.
What does it take to awaken the.rest of
us? We stand in the midst of slaughter and
the continuing threat of slaughter in a sin­gularly
apathetic frame of mind. We go to
our deaths (or someone else's) as calmly
as cattle with the descending sledge ham­mer.
Only, endowed with greater intelli­gence,
we maneuver to give the wielder a
better shot.
We urge every Auburn student to do
his utmost to stop the carnage. We cannot
change the attitude of a whole world
which seems to feel that life is cheap. But
we can change the concepts of our own
corner of that world.
I happened to think that maybe
I wouldn't have to work quite so
hard or do so much if I became an
engineer. That sounded l i k e a
pretty good reason for going to
school; work now and play later.
Since I don't particularly enjoy
working, I was pretty certain that
I had found a good reason until
I happened to remember some of
Dad's friends who are engineers.
Why they sometimes put in 50 or
60 hours a week at the office.
Since ease of work and money
aren't major advantages for the
future engineer, I was pretty well
discouraged. I wasn't ready to
give up though, so I tried to think
of. reasons ' for people to follow
any vocation. Prestige is an im­portant
factor—but an engineer
doesn't carry any more prestige
than a concert musician, college
professor or a statesman. Ability
and liking the work are about the
only things left that seem to ap­ply
at all.
Ability pretty much determines
what you like and dislike. I like
math and science and have always
learned things easily in these
fields. Besides that I have always
been curious about new machines
and new ways of doing things.
One of my high school teachers
told me that since I was good in
these areas I would make a good
engineer. I guess he was right
too; liking what you are doing is
what is important. Money a nd
prestige are only sidelights that
make your happiness just a little
more complete. Since liking what
you are doing must be the main
reason for studying engineering it
certainly makes me puzzled when
I see so many of my classmates
making only their rninimum..effort
to really learn. But, I guess they
don't know what they are doing.
Life... In The Balance

Here And Elsewhere . . .
A Need For Individualism
The harsh fact that Russia, and not the United
States, was the first to enter successfully the domain
of space has been cause enough for alarm and for
hasty re-examination of American education on every level. The im­plications
of the sputniks are that the U.S. is running second in the
race for world leadership because of inferior methods of educating its
young men and women, and that disaster for us is inevitable if we fail
to surge ahead.
Auburn needs a required first-aid course.
This has been made tragically evident in
several separate but distressingly similar
events of the last year. This is the idea we
advanced last week when still appalled at
the knowledge that Auburn students know
nothing of the most elementary techni­ques
of first-aid. It is the idea upon which
many subsequent editorials will probably
be based.

Plainsman offices are located In Room 818 of the
Auburn Union and In The Lee County Bulletin building:
on Tlchenor Avenue. Entered as second class matter
at the post office in Auburn. Alabama. Subscription rates
by mall are $1 for tbree months and $3 for a full year.
The Plainsman is the official student newspaper of
the Alabama Polytechnic institute and is written and
edited by responsible students. Opinions published here­in
are not necessarily those of the administration. Winter
publication date is Wednesday and circulation Is 6 800.
The difficulties to be overcome in ob­taining
such a course are formidable but
not, we think, insurmountable. The first of
these is the present inability of the PE de­partments
to teach a new, three-hour sub­ject
to an entire freshman class with only
a few months advance notice. They are
prepared to add it to the PE curriculum as
an elective.
While this is somewhat less than the
ideal, we feel that is the practical step for­ward
the ultimate goal. Both departments
(men's and women's PE) have instructors
who can teach the course themselves or
qualify other teachers.
Another obstacle may be the reluctance
of the Curriculum Committee and the
Council of Deans to approve the addition
of the course. The Curriculum Committee
which usually acts on proposed curricu­lum
changes, has already turned down one
request for an elective first-aid course. An­other
petition, submitted directly to the
Council of Deans, has also been denied.
We do not know the reasons for the de­nials.
Auburn, with a student body of 8,000
has only one course in first-aid. Since this
has an anatomy course as a pre-requisite,
it is unavailable to all but a very few.
Right now the issue is in the hands of a
student committee headed by the presi­dent
and vice-president of the student
body. Its members are, for the most part,
newly elected student body officers. This
will be their first opportunity to serve Au­burn
in their new positions of responsi­bility.
The goal here is not to be an administ-trative
victory. It is regretable that so
many maneuvers of this nature are re­quired
as to abscure their purpose. The ob­jective
is the preservation of human life.
This end should be kept in sight by all
concerned.
Attempting a solution, Ameri­can
parents have snatched their
children off the piano stool and
from the ai-t easel to thrust the
science book into their hands. In­dustry
has called for immediate
programs to train more able scien­tists
and engineers. Educators
have taken a second look at their
methods and systems.
While this sputnik hysteria in
our country has tended to place
proper emphasis on the need for
better qualified scientists and en­gineers,
it also demands greater
numbers in these fields. It has
made more palatable the popular
idea that qualified college grad­uates
can be mass produced. It
has underlined the quantitative
aspect of education.
But equally as pertinent and
more disturbing to us as college
students are the recent findirJgs of.

of the Hazen Foundation,

"norm" of value standards pre­vails

appear unabashedly self-centered.
They aspire for material gratifi­cation
for themselves and their
families . . . Only a minority
seem to value their college edu­cation
primarily in terms of its
intellectual contribution, or of its
nurturing of personal character
and the capacity for responsible
human relationships. Vocational
preparation, and skill and ex­perience
in social "adjustment"
head the rewards which students
crave from their higher educa­tion
. . . The main over-all effect
of higher education upon stu­dent
values is to bring about
general acceptance of a body of
standards and attitudes charact­eristic
of college-bred men and
women in the American com­munity.
There is more homo-geniety
and greater consistency
of values among students at the
end of their four years than when
they began. Fewer seniors es­pouse
beliefs which deviate from
from the going standards than do
freshmen.
This study clearly shows that the
college experience has little posi­tive
influence on students-^indeed,
that individuality is being des­pised,
dwindled or dispossessed on
our campuses. College students are
virtually being cast from the same
mold.
Mr. Jacobs m a d e public his
findings several years prior to the
sputniks. Now, with increased ef­forts
to focus the college student's
curriculum on t h e technologies
and with the promise of more
bulging classrooms for the future,
we may find ourselves in the even
more vulnerable position of emerg--
ing from college with shrouds of
anonymity about us and with the
spreading malignancy of conform­ity
within us.
When a number one spirit about
football becomes common and
dominant enough to subordinate
spirit and enthusiasm for aca­demic
pursuits, we are involved
in just such risks and possible
consequences. The college cam­pus
should be fertile ground for
vigorous competition, h e a l t hy
curiosity, for great degrees of di­versity
of opinion and action. It
should foster pluralism.
We must not discourage the
idea that wide ranges of person­alities
and interests belong on our
campuses, that our campuses are
the places for self exploration and
fulfillment and not so much the
places for "social adjustment." We
must encourage diversity and plu­ralism
at Auburn in the light of.
their importance to individualism.
We must somehow come to appre­ciate
the real and rare value of
being ourselves.

Stand back! Take a good look!
Do you see, as I see, a child—a
laughing, crying child? Do you
see one who laughs when the ball
is thrown his way, and one who
cries when he misses the ball? Do
you see, as I see,
a world full of
s u c h children?
These are self­ish
children; they
play to have a
good time, a nd
; they w o r k be­cause
it is im­perative.
Do you see, as
I see, that you
and I might be a
p a r t of t h is
group. The world is what we are;
it is a reflection of you and me.
Without us it would be nothing
but land and water, barren.
As children, our generation has
made our part of the world a
place that is not too safe to live
in. As children, we have forgotten
yesterday, played today, and ex­pected
tomorrow to be just as big
a blast as today was. As children,
our minds have not been mature
enough to think any further than
today. As children, we are rest­less;
we switch from one amuse­ment
to another, from one curri­culum
to another, and even from
one occupation to another.
Why? It doesn't do one bit of
good to say we are about to be
destroyed en masse unless we
have a solution to the many enor­mous
problems hitting us squarely
in the face. We are, if we be honest
with ourselves, a "casual genera­tion,"
but there are the problems
a college student has to face, such
as school work, social life, etc.
These are problems n o t to be
laughed at; they are big and they
are important. But look at our
state, national, and world prob­lems,
and compare: You and I are
only drops of water in an ocean
so deep, and so vast that by com­parison
we are hardly miscrosco-pic.
We as supposedly maturing men
and women have a job to do. It is
time we started to think seriously
about our world immediately, if
not sooner. How do you help when
surely the entire world is too huge,
a problem to even begin to under­stand?
Begin small and then work
up: "It is the greatest of. all mis­takes
to do nothing because you
can only do little—Do what you
can." NOW!

Solution To
API's Problems
Reduced to its basic terms, the
most pressing problem at API is
the student-money ratio. More
money would bring more room,
more and newer equipment, more
—and in some cases, better—
teachers. The legislature has not
been overly generous, nor does it
seem likely that they will become
so in the immediate future. There
is, however, a simple, solution.
Rather than building buildings
costing hundreds of thousands of
dollars, of paying higher salaries
to more people, or of. augmenting
funds f o r supporting activities,
the situation can be relieved by
the expenditure of a compara­tively
negligible sum.
How? Buy cars, chum, buy some
cars. Spend two or three thousand
and get as many cars as possible.
Nothing pretentious, there's no
need to worry about looks or style
or vintage; they won't be around
long anyway. Now distribute the
cars around campus during the
week. That's right, give them
away. One, two weekends later—
no more overcrowded conditions.
It's as simple as that. For the
benefit of the cost-conscious, we
might point out that what's left
of the cars can be sold as scrap
to salvage part of the original in­vestment.
What's that, a sceptic who says
it won't work? Take a look at the
box score. I hope you've been
counting. There have been so
many wrecks involving (and us­ually,
caused by) Auburn stu­dents,
that I've lost track of the
total. How many people were hos­pitalized?
Or killed? Oh, you say
they were the careless ones, or
the unlucky ones or t h e drunk
ones or the preoccupied ones . . .
and it won't happen again. You
remind me of a guy I once knew
who said it could never, never
happen to him. Only he's not
around to say it anymore.
dents in the past two years and a
half or three years: however, I
have never seen such apparent
disregard for the efforts of. those
few who knew a little about such
affairs. In usual cases, from 8 to
10 per cent of the bystanders can
be counted on to know something
of first aid and/or removal pro­cedure.
On a campus such as ours
the percentage should be higher,
but fewer than 15 out of the 200
present were willing to do any­thing
but stand around, gape at
the injured and cause a nuisance.
You mentioned "confusion" at
Lee County Hospital. This confu­sion
would probably not have been
present but for the crowds who
streamed through the emergency
ward as if it were a fair midway.
Ambulance service was also
discussed, or cussed. The infirm­ary
ambulance is limited, by col­lege
regulations, to students, fac­ulty
members, and employees of
the college. Frederick's is in a
poor location to serve the south
and west of Auburn. And I be­lieve
Peterson's situation is fairly
apparent, being a Negro funeral
home.
And in conclusion, I should like
to suggest that first-aid instruc­tion
be given in P.E. classes. I be­lieve
it should be a separate
course, somewhat like basic, that
is, being compulsory. This would
educate the masses a very little,
but it would help.
Respectfully yours,

Garbage Can Man
Whizzes In Quizzes
With finals approaching, the "garbage can raid­ing"
season will soon reach its peak. However, this
practice is in evidence throughout the quarter, not
just during final exams.
for nothing. This seems to be hu­man
nature. Also there are indi-viuals
who will go out of their
way to stack a situation in their
favor. We have both types at Au­burn,
those who will get a quiz
before it has been given and those
who will accept the quiz once
some one else has swiped it.
Amazingly enough, chemistry
quizzes do not appear before the
student's eye (any student) until
it is handed to him by his pro­fessor
at the scheduled testing
period. Yet, almost all other
schools on campus complain of
filched quizzes and stencils. Would
not the system of protection used
by one group work for all others?
It seems that the destroying of
quiz stencils a n d quizzes is a
problem that could be easily sol­ved
by the faculty in each school
without depositing them in public
trash cans. In addition, quizzes
could be stored in locked cabi­nets,
to which janitors and office
personnel do not have keys. To
gain this end, the full cooperation
of all faculty members would be
required.
Old quizzes which are gems to
study by, provide students with
material which in many cases is
a determining factor between a
passing grade or failure. These
papers may indicate which parti­cular
areas in a course are im­portant.
They definitely give an
example of the question type pre­ferred
by the professor and fre­quently
site sample problems.
In the many courses where old
quizzes are "out," they are avail­able
to everyone .But, how often
have you em-olled in a course
where you took complete notes,
read the book, and studied all ac­cepted
material including old
quizzes only to come up with a
C if you were lucky. While Trash
Can Harry attended on quiz days
only and finished the quarter with
the "A", the honor points, and all
of the glory accorded to "good"
students.
The difference is in the quizzes
you were studying—an old quiz
or the quiz.

Adequate Setup Needed
To Aid Foreign Students
l Unknown to the majority of students here at API,
I is the fact that at present there are some 80 students
from all over the world enrolled here.
With any group of students from other lands it is apparent that
there will be problems which will have to be overcome by the foreign
students themselves, but of more importance is the problem which
must be faced by the institution itself as well as the students from
this country.
There is definitely a problem at
API in regard to the proper and
necessary orientation which fore­ign
students must have in the
English language. This problem
is not a new one, for since 1952 or
perhaps .before, many letters of ap­peal
have poured into the English
Department a n d Student Guid­ance
Office. These letters have not
only been from the foreign stu­dents
themselves but from pro­fessors
and deans who have real­ized
that this is a vital problem
which must be solved.
As things stand at this point the
English Department has no de­finite
program which is followed
to help those students who need
special aid in the various divisions .
of the language such as pronun­ciation,
grammar and understand­ing.
Presently, the entire respon­sibility
seems to be left up to the
individual school as to what Eng­lish
courses the foreign student
should take and when he should
take them.
I was not aware of this problem
until a week ago and since that
time I have managed to speak
with several of the foreign stu­dents
as well as professors and
others who are aware of the need
for an adequate English program
for the foreign students.
Naturally there are a few stu­dents
who, upon arriving on the
"fair plains" are not in dire need
of assistance and seem to manage
without any great amount of dif­ficulty,
but this is the exception
rather than the rule. Even these
students who are the exception
have trouble with at least one
problem, namely that of punctua­tion.
The majority of those stu­dents
coming from the Near East
and India are usually graduate
students and have been exposed to
English for a longer period of time
while in school in their own coun­tries,
than are those students com­ing
f r o m the South American
countries. Students from Japan, I
believe, are required to pass an
examinaton before they are al­lowed
to attend American schools.
But regardless of the amount of
time spent on learning a language
unless one can understand it when
he hears it spoken and unless he
in turn is able to pronounce the
words in an understandable man­ner
the problem of communica­tion
looms before us.
The responsibility for solving
this problem must be met upon
three levels. First, when API (or
for that matter any college) ac­cepts
students from another coun­try
they are usually receiving the
"cream of the crop" so to speak,
and must assume the responsibil­ity
of preparing these students
adequately for their stay here at
API. It is the responsibility of the
institution to see that students are
not left to. flounder around for
themselves and pick up the lan­guage
the hard way.
Secondly, the English Depart­ment
must be the prime organ by
which this problem is solved. It is
imperative that some sort of con­sistent
program is first of all in­itiated
(since we do not now have
any such program); then it must
be put into practice.
Thirdly, the students, both Am­erican
and foreign, can do a great
deal more than has been done in
the past. I do not mean to imply
that nothing has been done. On
the contrary, some of. the students
have made special attempts to in­clude
our foreign students in their
activities on a group as well as
individual basis. Many Auburn
families have invited our foreign
students into their homes so that
they might be better able to ac­quire
a well-rounded knowledge
of what American life is like. But
there is yet a great deal that can
be done by us on an individual
basis. It is, of course, necessary
that the foreign students them­selves
make our efforts worth­while
by meeting us half way and
showing an interest and desire to
learn also.
Since no problem involving un­derstanding
a n d communication
between persons of different coun­tries
is easy to solve, it cannot be
expected that a solution will be
forthcoming overnight. I feel that
a start should be made some­where
and that those who are in
the positions to initiate an ade­quate
program for foreign stu­dents
should commence upon find­ing
a solution and not just leave
the matter dangling, as it has been
done in the past.
Frats Head For Florida

The fun and sun of Florida has been attracting many of
the Auburn students. Suntan lotion, sunglasses, bathing suits,
and other items are being carefully tucked into suitcases and
carried to the land of sunshine.
Sigma Pi got a head start on
all the other fraternities as they
had their houseparty during the
weekend of April 16-18 at the

Since that time, we have moved to
larger quarters and more than tripled
the amount of business done in that
first year. Thanks to you, our valued
customers and friends, we have proved
that the students, faculty members and
townspeople of Auburn and neighbor­ing
communities appreciate our policy

Tigers Travel
To Play Florida
For SEC Title
Auburn travels to Gainesville for two games with Florida
on Friday and Saturday which will decide who will be the
1959 SEC baseball champion. They wind up t h e season Mon­day
and Tuesday at Plainsman P a r k against the Florida State
Seminoles.
The defending champion Tig­ers
must win both of the games
with Florida in order to repeat
their first place finish of last
year. Coach Erskinc Russell
has selected Lloyd Nix and
Gerald George to take the
mound against the Gators. This
is the same combination which
defeated Georgia in both games
last weekend. Nix has been one
of the big guns of the pitching
staff all season, while George
has seen action as a pitcher in
only two games this year, but
h i s superlative performance
against the Bulldogs earned
him the chance for another
start.
The Plainsmen haven't faced
Conference-leading Florida yet
this year, having been rained
out in their other two schedul­ed
games. FSU beat the Tigers
in two games early in the sea­son.

but with the improved ball the
Tigers have been playing the
last two weeks they seem to
have a good chance of going all
the way. Coach Russell is par­ticularly
pleased with the im­proved
hitting as well as- the
outstanding pitching the team
has been showing. With a little
luck, the Tigers may be able to
bring home another Conference
title.

MANY MORS BARGAINS - COM! IN1
In the SEC
By WAYNE KINGER . . . Asst. Sports Editor
The SEC baseball scrap is be­ginning
to resemble the party
game called "Musical Chairs."
Since it seems that we have a
new team sitting in the No. 1
spot of the Eastern Division af­ter
each weekend of play.
Georgia was there for a couple
of days, then Auburn fought
their way into popular spot,
but to be followed by the Flor­ida
Gators, and now the Ramb­ling
Wreck of Georgia Tech has
moved i n t o the top spot.
There is one week of confer­ence
play left in this mixed-up
battle; it will f i n d Tech at
Georgia for three games and
the Tigers in Gainesville for a
two-game scries with the Ga­tors.
To get into the lead of the
Eastern Division the Engineers
had to stop the red-hot Flori­da
outfit in two games, and
this is just what Tech did. Bud
Blemker cooled off the Gator
nine in the game 2-1 and it
was also the "Cowboy" who
knocked in the winning run.
There was a rhubarb in the
seventh inning which resulted
in a protest' b y the F l o r i d a
coach Dave Fuller. It all start­ed
with the bases loaded with
Gators and one out, then all
hell broke loose when the Ga­tor
batter bunted a "pitch out"
by Blemker. The run scored
easily but the umpire called
the hitter out, saying that he
was outside of the batter's box.
The Jackets came on Saturday
to romp over the Floridians
again 17-8 and to take the di­vision
leadership. Georgia Tech
now has a 8-3 record, w h i le
Auburn arid Florida are 7-3.
Meanwhile on the Plains the
Tigers were taking two from
the Bulldogs of Georgia . . .
13-3 and 7-1. It was the same
story for crafty Lloyd Nix, who
has beaten the Bulldogs twice
this season giving up ten hits
in each of the, victories. Nix
now has a perfect pitching rec­ord
being 5-0 for the season, he
also was awarded the Delta Ze-ta
Man of the Year award this
past weekend. •
The story of Auburn's success
in sports, and one of the rea­sons
why "WAR EAGLES"
have been recognized in the
field of athletics, is that Au­burn
is not beaten until the last
out is made. Tiger teams have
become clutch teams, with the
ability to win the close ones.
And just as long as people like
John Whatley can come off the
bench and play clutch ball, or
how about Bill Gregory and the
'58 Kentucky upset, or just this
weekend Gerald George's move
from third base to the mound
for a 7-1 victory over Georgia.
And then there was Allan Koch,
the pitcher who was playing
outfield, he was six for eight
at the plate against the Geor­gians.
Coach John Eibner of the
University of Florida and Hal
Herring of Auburn, got togeth­er
recently for Pensacola High's
annual spring game, and spent a
couple of hours sinking the
needle into each other in a
friendly chat.
"Have you all put those Tig­ers
you call football players
back in their cages yet?" Eibner
asked Herring after a brief
greeting. "Naw, we sent them
out looking for Gators," Her­ring
retorted.
"Auburn is the only team in
America that can tilt a foot­ball
field when they gather on
either end," Eibner said. "Why,
they got linemen so big they
can't even use the spread kick.
If they do, there isn't room for
but eight players on the field,"
Eibner needled.
"Yeh, it makes me feel sorry
for poor little fellows like Dave
Hudson, Asa Cox, V e 1 Heck-man
and that crowd," Herring
countered.

Cap'n Edger Sails To The Top
By JOHN WALLACE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn yacht team sail­ed
to their third straight vic­tory
in the Southern Intercol­legiate
Sailing Association re­gatta
recently at Pass Chris­tian,
Miss. Team skipper Bill
Edgar led the Tigers in the tri­umph
and for his efforts was
named commodore of the SI-SA.
Actually LSU captured first
place and Auburn and Miss.
State tied for second, but the
Bayou entry is not a member
of the SISA and since Auburn
had beaten Mississippi State in
two of the three times they
met, Auburn came out on top.
The Plainsmen thus retained
the trophy for another year.
The man most responsible for
the success of the home entry
was the new commodore, Bill
Edgar. Bill has been sailing the
seven seas since he was three
months old. He entered com­petition
in this sport in 1944
and has met with remarkable
success. Never has he finished
worse than third in any compe­tition.
Married some four years Bill
lives with his pretty wife, Bar­bara
on West Glenn. The jun­ior
in Business Administration
from Mobile has one son, Shaw,
who'll be three in July. On top
of this Bill holds down two part
time jobs, carries a full scho­lastic
load of 23 hours, and has
a 2.3 overall average. It is easy
to see that Bill has had little
time for sailing in the past year
which makes his victory even
more remarkable.
The other two Auburn team
members .are Art Anderson,
Pensacola, Fla., and Mo­bile.
Bill has been sailing mainly
in the 'fish' class competition,
the type used in the SISA, al­though
he has also sailed in the
'penguin' class, a smaller sail­boat.
Some of Bill's previous
victories have been in the Mo­bile
Regatta and the Tulane
Regatta.

Record books were rewritten
last week after. Auburn finish­ed
the Southeastern Intercol­legiate
Tournament. For the
first time in the history of this
school the Tiger golfers fin­ished
fifth in this tourney, out
of 23 clubs competing, and plac­ed
third in the SEC.
Bryant Harvary and Johnny
Gross made the final 36 rounds
after an 18-hole qualifying
round. Harvard shot a 72-71,
143 on the first 36 holes to put
him only two strokes behind
the leader. He shot a sub-par
33 on the front nine and pared
the gack side in his 71 round.

72 hole tournament with iden­tical

golfer, Lewis Ray, missed qual­ifying
by only one stroke.
SEASON RECAP
Coach "Sonny" Dragoin's Au­burn
golfers were practically
unbeatable at home, on the
Saugahatchee course, but found
the greens pretty tricky away
from the Plains, as they fin­ished
with a 5-1 record at home
and a reversal of the same rec­ord
while on the road.
Leading the Tigers was ver­satile
Bryant Harvard, Thomas-ville,
Ga., junior, with an 18-
hole average of 73 for the sea­son.
Harvard also took medalist
honors for the season by shoot­ing
a six-under-par 66 posted
against Georgia Tech in the
final match of the season.
Trailing closely behind Har­vard
in the seasons scoring
were Johnny Gross (Birming­ham)
and Lewis Ray (Mariet­ta,
Ga.). Both of these staunch
competitors a v e r a g e d 74.5

matches, ross, although second
in average score led the Tigers
in the point producing depart­ment
with 253/4. Harvard was
second .with 24}, while Ray
came through with 22%.
With a handful of sophomores
Coach Luther Young's tennis
team got in there and came out
none the worse as they ended
the tennis season with a 6-6
record. This was a vast im­provement
over last years crew
which had a 4-9 record.
All that remains now is the
topsy-turvy SEC match in
Starkville, Miss. In this match
number one men are paired off
together, number two men to­gether,
and son on down the
line: Any singles or. doubles
win counts one team, point and
the team finishing with the

Until his sophomore year in high
school Johnny had never played
golf but once he began it wasn't
long before he started making
a name for himself. During his
high school days Johnny played
in several tournaments. He won
the Jefferson County High
School tournament with a 269
total for 72 holes. On the first
18 holes he fired a proish 64,
eight strokes under par. Johnny

Softball, Golf And Tennis Championship Playoffs Start This Week
As Newman, Sigma Pi, PiKA, Delta Chi, AGR Top Their Leagues
By LANCE HEARN
Intramural Sports Editor
By the end of this week the
winners of most of the leagues
will be known. Then the fun
begins; the championship play­offs.
Of course the champion of
the church and independent
softball leagues will not be an­nounced
until May 19, but as
of April 30 the standings read,
Newman (4-0), BSU and Wes­ley
(3-1), MBSU and B r o wn
House (2-2), Eagles and Gar­den
Court (1-3), Latin Ameri­can
Club (0-4).
The five dorm softball lea­gues
rate like this: League 1
shows A with a 4-0 season
leading N 1-2, and F, R, and W
each having a 0-1 record; Lea­gue
2 reveals S (3-0), G (2-0),
X2 1-1), B and O (1-3), P (4-0)
and ranks number one in Lea­gue
3 followed by T (2-1), H
(1-2), Y (0-1), C (0-3): In
League 4, V (3-0) stands head
and shoulders above Ah2 (1-1),
P2 (1-2) and D, J (1-2-1); the
competition is more fierce in
League 4, Q (3-1), V and M
(2-1), E (1-3), and AH2 (0-1).
In one of the five fraternity
DELTA CHI third baseman Buddy Young takes a swing at a
Phi Tau pitch—fouling it off as usual. Irby McCalla, PKT
catcher missed the pop up as can easily be seen why.

SCHULTZ IS i
A MANY SPLENDORED THING
Beppo Schultz, boulevardier, raconteur, connoisseur, sportsman,
bon vivant, hail fellow well met—in short, typical American
college man—smokes today's new Marlboros.
"Why do you smoke today's new Marlboros, hey?" a friend
recently asked Beppo Schultz.
"I smoke today's new Marlboros," replied Beppo, looking up
from his 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead cam­shaft
British sports car, "because they are new."
"New?" said the friend. "What do you mean—new?"
"I msan the flavor's great, the filter's improved, the cigarette
is designed for today's easier, breezier living," said Beppo.
"Like this 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double overhead
camshaft British sports car?" asked the friend.
"Exactly," said Beppo.
"She's a beauty," said the friend, looking admiringly at the
car. "How long have you had her?"
"It's a male," said Beppo.
"Sorry," said the friend. "How long have you had him?",
"About a year," said Beppo.
"Have you done a lot of work on him?" asked the friend.
"Oli, have I not!" cried Beppo. "I have replaced the pushrods
with a Root* type supercharger. I have replaced the torque with
a synchromesh. I have replaced the tachometer with a double
side draft carburetor."
"Gracious!" exclaimed the friend.
"I have replaced the hood with a bonnet," said Beppo.
"Land o' Goshen!" exclaimed the friend.
."And I have put gloves in the glove compartment," said Beppo.
* \iH%M %00M
"My, you have been the busy one," said the friend, 'You
must be exhausted."
"Maybe a trifle," said Beppo, with a brave little smile.
"Know what I do when I'm tired?" said the friend.
"Light a Marlboro?" ventured Beppo.
"Oh, pshaw, you guessed!" said the friend, pouting.
"But it was easy," said Beppo, chuckling kindlily. "When the
eyelids droop and the musculature sags and the psyche is de­pleted,
what is more natural than to perk up with today's new
Marlboro?"
"A great new smoke with better 'makin's' arid a great new
filter!" proclaimed the friend, his young eyes glistening.
"Changed to keep pace with today's changing world!" de­clared
Beppo, whirling his arms in concentric circles. "A ciga­rette
for a sunnier age, an age of greater leisure and more beck­oning
horizons!"
Now, tired but happy, Beppo and his friend lit Marlboros and
smoked for a time in deep, silent contentment. At length the
friend spoke. "He certainly is a beauty," he said.
"You mean my 2.9 litre L-head Hotchkiss drive double over­head
camshaft British sports car?" asked Beppo.
"Yes," said the friend. "How fast will he go?"
"Well, I don't rightly know," said Beppo. "I can't find the
starter." <s I UM MU shuimao
If you're sticking with the good old non-filter cigarette, you
can't do better than Philip Morris—a mild, rich, tasty smoke,
made by the people who make Marlboros.
softball leagues the winner has
already been decided and one
game in each of the remaining
leagues will decide those win­ners.
SP (4-0) swept through
league 1 leaving behind the
broken hopes of OTS (3-1),
ATO (1-2), LCA (1-3), and
DTD (0-3). The playoff of the
PKA (3-0)—SN (2-0) tie game
will determine the winner of
league 2 as SAE (2-2), and SC
(2-3), and KS (0-4) are defi­nitely
out of the running. DC
(4-0) must beat AP (2-1) be­fore
they can wear the laurels
of League 3 which numbers
among its teams, SPE (3-1),
AP (2-1), TC (1-2), PKT (1-3)
and TX (0-4. In League 5 PKP
(2-1) stand in the way of AGR
(4-0) who has beaten DSP (2-1)
KA (2-2), PDT (1-3) and TKE
(0-4).
Softball remained the favorite
sport in the dorm and church-independent
leagues. Newman
downed the Eagles 8-6; Wesley
outscored Garden Court 21-16;
Brown House defeated BSU,
11-5; and MBSTT whipped the
Latin American Club 20-6. P2
tied with D, 14-14; P exceeded
C, 7-0; A excelled N, 9-1; 0
transcended B 16-14; D capped
Ah, 17-9; S topped B, 21-10,
and E outmatched Ah2, 7-0.
On the fraternity front all
sports were active.
In softball there was one
double winner and one double
loser. KA fell twice, to DSP,
10-8 and AGR, 13-7, then AGR
took their second decision, 11-
0 against PDT. DC overpassed
PKT, 14-6; ATO overrode LCA,
17-9; SN preponderated SAE,
7-0; PDT predominated TKE,
7-0, PKA surpassed SC, 17-6;
PKP passed TKE, 11-3; SPE
bested TX, 21-12, and SP cut
out DTD 7-0.
For all you "Bird-watchers,"
the action on the badminton
court was very stimulating. P-KA
outstripped SP; AGR out­played
DSP; KA Overbore TX;
SAE eclipsed PKT; LCA took
the shine out of DC; SC threw
TKE into the shade; ;PDT pre­ceded
ATO; SN came to the
front over TC.
The dust flew fast and furious
in the horseshoe p i t s . P KT
conquered SP; KS vanquished
DSP; LCA drubbed TC; SAE
got the better of DTD, and A-GR
skinned TKE.
The sun was high in the sky
and tennis courts were blazing
hot but the fraternity tennis
matches went on and on and
on. DC bit the dust at the hands
of SP; SAE licked TKE; LCA
put down TX; PKA settled SN's
hash; and AGR treaded SC un­derfoot.
While the men have been
giving their all in intramurals,
you would think that the girls
would be in the dorm sleeping
or at the lake. Wrong again!
The ladies have their own in­tramurals,
and despite their lack
of athletic ability, they never
lack spirit or beauty.
