Social Board Expects
No Spring Houseparties
Following up on its decision to prohibit winter house-parties,
the Board of Vice and Sin introduced a new motion
last week designed to knock out spring houseparties too. Al­though
the motion has not been formally voted on yet, in­formed
informants expect it to pass without a single dissent­ing
vote.
The motion was introduced by
Boola Boola Nill at the Board's
meeting last week. In a ringing
speech which brought tears to the
glad old eyes of. Dean N. O. Dater,
chairman, Nill eplained that he
had wrestled with his soul before
bringing the matter up for vote.
"The searing sun of torrid Florida
can be a menace to the health of
every Auburn student," he said.
"Not only is the sun a menace
during the day, but at night," he
lowered his voice dramatically,
"at night there is the moon. You
all know what the moon can do
to young, impressionable college
students." "Our motive will be
misunderstood of course but that,
Squares Honorary
Announces Project
Squares, men's sophomore hon­orary,
has announced the under­taking
of. a new project for and
during the spring quarter of 1959.
The group voted unanimously last
Monday to attempt to set a new
world's record at cramming people
into a telephone booth.
The present record, 32 slightly-built
men, is held by a group at
Modesto College, Modesto, Calif­ornia.
At t h e announcement, t he
Squares' president proclaimed the
project as the most "significant
ever undertaken by this organiza­tion."
There were murmurs of
assent from the audience which
Was drawn up before the Union
Building Snack Bar where the
Squares -have often- come -up-mtfth-equally
original but less encom­passing
ideas.
According to reliable sources,
the men have already begun train­ing
for the event which they plan
to stage as the grand finale to
Village Fair. To lose weight for
the ordeal every man in the or­ganization
has agreed to diet ex­tensively
from now until Village
Fair. The rigid slimming program.
will require each member to cut
his afternoon coffee break to
three hours and limit his coffee
consumption from four cups to
one—without cream or sugar.
Squares is composed of the out­standing
members of the sopho­more
class. All the men tapped for
the organization have supposedly
been active in freshman politics,
outstanding in scholarship, become
leaders of their respective frat­ernities,
or shown potential in
other ways. Needless to say, they
are very discreet about their po­tential.
The older they get, the
more discreet they become.
alas, is the price we have to pay
to fulfill our mission in this
troubled world."
Nill sat down amidst shouts of
"Throw the bum out" and "Kill
him dead." It was clear that he
had scored again.
It became even clearer when
Board Chairman Dean Dater sec­onded
the motion. To make sure
it was crystal clear to everyone
Dean Dater has since taken the
trouble to contact every Board
member individually and explain
the motion thoroughly. Since the
Board votes by a show of hands,
social probaton faces those who
cannot see the issue with clarity.
When the motion is brought up
for vote next Thursday, informed
informants expect it to pass with­out
a single dissenting vote.
WSGA Mickey Mouse
Same Through Years
The Women's Student Govern­ment
Association -takes pride in
announcing its policies for the
coming year. These history mak­ing
decisions have been hailed as
bold and daring by their author,
President Snyda Rodent.
"We of the WSGA, being of
sound - mind and skinny bodies,
do henceforth and- hereafter ac­cept
this doctrine as the creed of
our organization. We accept this
creed wholeheartedly as a pro­duct
of our own twisted minds
without fear, bribery .or brain­washing."
"We think that the Governor
and the Board of Trustees of our
beloved* i-ns-ti fru t i :o n are-real
ge'orge. They are just peachy."
"We believe that pur president,
Ralphie, is so nice and we do love
him so."
"The inspiration to all women
on our campus is our beloved
Dean of Women, Miss Kathy Ca­terer.
She above all, stands out as
a bright and shining star. She is
our mecca and when she sings in
the shower, all WSGA represen­tatives
will see that everyone in
the dorms are quiet and that they
are facing the Social Center."
"We firmly and sincerely love
our housem o t h e r s , even the
housemothers in the freshmen
dorms. They are henchmen of
Miss Caterer and are high up in
the party. They will be loved,
comrades."
"Even though we realize that
this creed will anger some o£ our
friends because we are so stern
in our policies we hope that they
realize that we do love them so
and that we still want to be palsy-walsy
with them."
Multi-Purpose Building To Be Erected
Bulletin Is Released By Pres, Draughon
After Holding Recent Summit Confab
By RONNIE McCULLARS
Plainsman Sports Editor
Alabama Polytechnic Institute President, Ralph Draughon,
and Athletic Director Jeff Beard, announced in a joint state­ment
to the press last night at 9:00 p.m. that work is to begin
on the proposed new; four million .dollar multi-purpose build­ing
that has been under consideration for some years at Au­burn.
NEW SPORTS ARENA scheduled for completion April'lyI960,,
was built with funds raised by Alumni. Director Joe Starving.
Starving pushed money from alumni incessantly" to-buiid'this
palace .to race his turtles. It will also be used,-with the permission
of Starving, by. athletic teams, providing that Starving hasn't sche­duled
a turtle race for the same night.
The statement was released af­ter
a secret meeting of the Alum­ni
Board, Draughon, his staff, and
Beard was held in the President's
mansion. No newspaper was to be
able to release the story until it
had .appeared in the Plainsman
was Draughon's request, because
"it is the student's building and it
will certainly be a wonderful,
greatly anticipated, thrill for
them."
Beard and a staff of well quali­fied
alumni had been working
unceasingly obtaining answers to
the hundreds of questions con­cerning
the financial situation,
uses of the building, and ques-

Bobsledders Honored With Annual Banquet
The Auburn bobslead team was
honored last week with a ban­quet
held in the bar of the Union
Building. The team went the en­tire
season undefeated. As a mat­ter
of fact they defeated nobody.
Highlighting the banquet was
the presentation of Auburn swea­ters
to the team members. The
sweaters are pink with eight tiny
reindeer stitched under each arm"

Early in the evening, the team
was entertained by Coach Billy-goat

"Bobsledding in the a t o m ic
world."
Members receiving sweaters
were Cryant Bastellow, Rick Doll,

GBH-CM Daniel
Has His Difficulties
But Doesn't Worry
Ray Daniel, chairman of the
Auburn Conference, on Internat­ional
:Affairs and a GBH-CM, re­ported
that the event, now enter­ing'
ilstlast day,, is an unqualified
success "despite what, he termed,
."difficulties:" "We haven't h ad
any publicity in the paper, we
aon't have any delegates, none
of the speakers showed up, and
all my committees quit. But on
the whole, I'd say that this-year's
ACOIA will go down in history."
Asked to whom he was refer­ring
when he used the plural 'we"
Daniel explained t h a t most of
his former committee members
have been attending all of the
cancelled functions to get the
left-over refreshments. Since the
members of the Student Senate
were working on the event before
they quit, we are led to conclude
that the activities of that body
are strictly from hunger.
The Conference was to have
begun yesterday with an address
by a science-fiction writer entit­led
"How We Do It There?" How­ever,
the speaker forgot his speech
and suddenly went back "there"
for a refresher course.
The second speech, scheduled
for Thursday night by a member
of the Columnist Party which has
sprung up to harass American
policy-makers, was also cancelled.
The noted editorialist learned
that he would be called upon to
answer..questions from the au­dience;
As' he left he was over­heard
telling his secretary that
he couldn't, face the degradation
of having to defend his assertions.
In fact, all the speakers and
panelists have cancelled their ap­pointments
with one notable ex­ception.

New Find Below
Social Center
The Auburn Cave Club recent­ly
made one of the most startling
discoveries in modern speological
history when one of its members
was pushed into a hole behind
the Social Center.
Montag B. Halifishnpoi, an ex­change
student from'Easter Is­land,
claimed- that -he was-- quiet­ly
serenading' the' .Constellation
Sagarritus with his ukelele when
he suffered an attempted robbery
by a purse-snatcher.
In the struggle, Halifishnpoi
fell into the cavern. As he arose,
his head became wedged in the
strangely formed stalactite.. His
cries for help were heard in the
office of the dean of women and
police were immediately sum­moned.
Difficulties were encountered
In attempts to extract Montag's
head from the formation and J. R.
McClung, the Cave Club faculty
advisor and a renowned expert
on stalactites, was called in to
render assistance. McClung ex­claimed
that this was undoubted­ly
the most important speological
discovery of the twentieth cen­tury.
"The , pprcelan-like beauty of
this stalactite is enthralling," said
McClung. "Never have I seen a
more beautiful specimen. Just
think, this stalactite has been
forming out of waste material di­rectly
under the dean of women's
office chair since before Auburn
was founded."

How To Make Men's Eyeballs Click
And Other Sundry Interesting Facts
In view of the fact that the
Miss Auburn Contest is now in
progress, The Plainsman is print­ing
contest and etiquette rules for
the aspirants.
1) Upon entering a fraternity
house, be certain to wiggle notice­ably
across the living room area.
Your success in attracting atten­tion
can be measured audibly by
the clicking of eyeballs.
2) Start your speech by placing
both hands on hips and shifting
weight seductively from one leg to
the other.
3) ..Begin with a low, sultry
voice saying how much you would
just love to be their Miss Auburn.
4) About halfway through, stop,
inhale deeply and stretch, then
start again.
5) As you leave, turn partially
around in the doorway and smile.
At that time, you may measure the
impact of your persuasion. It is
inversely proportional to the
number of people eating.
6) Attire: Wear either a tight
sheath dress with slits up the leg
or a pair of short shorts and a
halter.

tions in general, from other col­leges
that had erected such build­ings
in the past ten years. "Our
questionnaires could not have
been answered more quickly or
adequately," said Beard, "there­fore,
our conclusions were reach­ed
much faster and our argument
presented to the board in such a
manner that they could not re­fuse
Auburn this great new
building."
The building, to be named the
Draughon Memorial for the ex­tensive
work put into its accep­tance
by President Draughon, will
be used multi-purposely. All gen­eral
student meetings and gath­erings,
athletic contests—such as
wrestling, baskektball games,
gymnastic meets, and indoor track
meets—physical education classes,
graduation ceremonies, dances
and concerts, individual and
group lectures, plays, movies, and
faculty and extension forums and
meetings will be facilitated by
the great new structure.
At a cost of slightly over four
million dollars, the building will
be located where' the Sports
Arena and the Student Activities
Buildings are now standing with
the exception that it will stretch
from the Plainsman Park parking
lot, two full blocks, to the street
beside the Sports Arena which
runs into Graves Centre. The
building will seat 23,000 people
for basketball . games while an­other
gathering of 7,000 seats with
a stage will be located in another
room. Thus two events may simul­taneously
be underway.
April 10, 1959, the low-bidding
contracting concern of Hartwell
and Twigg from Charleston, S. C.
will begin construction. The new
building is contracted to be ready
for use by January 1, 1960. There­fore,
all Auburn home basketball
games following that date will be
held in the biggest gymnasium in
the South. When basketball coach
Joel Eaves was asked of his
thoughts on the massive gym, he
retorted, "I'm quite pleased to find
that now our boys can play be­fore
all of the Auburn students '
who wish to see the games."
Football coach Ralph Jordan
said, "If the floor is removable
we can play our home games in
there if the weather is bad."
The building, Alabama's larg­est,
is being financed almost
wholly by Auburn alumni. "I
have never been so impressed
with such wonderful cooperation
and a feeling of gratitude before
in my life," said Draughon con­cerning
the financing of the struc­ture.
"Auburn students are re­ceiving
this tremendous building,
certainly, free of charge."

Newly appointed Assistant Dean of Engineering—
Columnist To Lead Engineers
As Technology Scores Victory
Carlisle T o w e r y , Plainsman
columnist extraordinary and for­mer
API architectural student, as­sumed
the position of Assistant
Dean, School of Engineering late
Wednesday night. Purpose of the
move, as stated by an undisclosed
Ramsay Hall dignatary, is to
strengthen the department by ad­ding
an outspoken pro-engineer­ing
radical to the fold.
Towery's duties, as disclosed
yesterday at a press conference
in his apartment will be to re­arrange
the engineering curricu­lum
to abolish such courses as
Classical Literature and English
composition, while emphasizing a
full curriculum of technical cour­ses
.valuable in transforming the
quasi-engineer of today into a
true engineer.
In an official statement, the
nonchalant ex-architect stated,
"It's about time Auburn engi­neers
started learning a little bit
about what they're going to face
when they graduate." With temp­er
beginning to flare as disgusting
thoughts started passing through
his mind, Towery continued, "No
engineer need know anything at
all other than engineering. Think
of all the time wasted recently by
members of this school. Why?
Because some ignorant fools on
campus feel t h a t the engineer
must communicate when he steps
out of. college into industry. They
think that engineers actually must
write reports when they get to the
outside." With face now scarlet,
teeth grinding against tongue, and
temper obviously lost, Towery
shouted. "As long as I'm around,
no engineer will ever hear again
of liberal a r t s courses on this
campus. If I have my way. and
take note that I intend to, we'll
soon be an exclusive engineering
institution! A l l no n-technical
courses will be banished from
Auburn's curricula!"

The Auburn School of Aviation,
sponsors of the event, announce
that students may purchase tic­kets
for 75 cents at the airport.
The purpose of the event is to

Roller Skate Derby
Sees Butts Beaten
derby was held this weekend at
Cliff Hare Stadium. The attend­ance
was at an all-time high this
year, with more than a lot of peo­ple
showing up to watch the
events.
The speed event was won by
Speedy Gongalez—an extremely
fast man on or off skates.
The one-mile relay was won
by a Japanese judo club that hap­pened
to be passing through Au­burn.
As a matter of factt, they
are the only team of 11 teams in
that event to finish.
The marathon—which is still
going on—is a deadlock between
Modine Gunch and Ophelia Butts.
Ophelia is over here temporarily
from the University of Georgia.
She is being backed up by a
cheering squad from U of G, and
their main cheer is "You can't
beat our Butts."
There were several nasty ru­mors
saying that the judges were
honest. I can prove otherwise be­cause
we hired Georgia Tech
football referees as judges.
FLASH—As we go to press, the
results of the ramathon arrive.
Gunch goes—Butts beaten.

Few Are Single
In Vet Medicine
Thirty-seven of Auburn's 51
alumni who graduated last quar­ter
in veterinary medicine are
married, have 45 children and
are expecting eight more. Only 14
in the class are single.
When the class entered college
in 1955, it had 65 members, 26 of.
whom were married and had 16
children.
These facts were revealed here
as the 51 seniors in veterinary
medicine prepared to scatter all
throughout Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Kentucky to serve internships
with reputable practicing veteri­narians
between now and their
graduation on June 3.
Jones New Leader
And Top Judge
Oscar Jones, currently the na­tion's
top college quarterhorse
judge, was recently elected presi­dent
of Auburn's Block and Bridle
Club, an organization composed
of students interested in working
with livestock.
By virtue of his medal-winning
performance at Fort Worth's
Southwest Exposition Livestock
Show this winter, Jones achieved
his lofty national position. Until
a medalist emerges from a simi­lar
Chicago event, API's Block
and Bridle head will maintain his
high priority.
Backing up the able Jones are
vice-president Jerry Caldwell,
secretary Bobby Maddox, treasur­er
Joel Hardee, reporter John S.
Howie, and marshall Bob Mur­doch.
Faculty advisors are Dr. E.
E. Wiggins and Professor R. C.
Gray.
In addition to organized par­ticipation
in spotlighted national
judging shows, the club aids this
institution in preparing bulls for
the big school-sponsored sale each
spring. Block and Bridle partici­pants
wash the hefty animals,
clean, comb and assist faculty
members in showing them off at
sale time. On the day of this af­fair,
the organization provides a
luncheon for buyers.
Staff Member Joins
API Speech Clinic
A new staff member has joined
the API speech and hearing clinic.
She is Dr. Cruz A. Hardigree, a
graduate of the University of
Michigan.
Dr. Hardigree comes to Auburn
from San Juan, P.R., where she
served as speech consultant for
the V.A. Hospital and Vocational
Rehabilitation Office. Her work
there was as director and audio-logist
at the speech and hearing
clinic, Bureau of Crippled Child­ren.
. As an audiologist at Auburn, Dr.
Hardigree will develop the hear­ing
program including services to
children and the parents of pre­school
deaf children. Also, she will
do hearing evaluation, testing and
hearing-aid fittings for adults. A
major part of her work will deal
with development of a teaching
program for preparation of hear­ing
therapists.

Players To Present
First Spring Play
Here April 22
By RAMONA PEMBERTON
The Auburn Players have set
April 22 as the opening date for
their production of. Arthur Miller's
powerful tragedy, "All My Sons."
Starring as Kate Keller will be
Mrs. Ellen Ward. Joe and Chris
Keller will be played by Don
Canty and Terry Cross respect­ively.
Jane Griffin and Joe Embry
are cast as Ann and George, mem­bers
of the "family next door."
Olin Baker is in the role of Dr.
Baylis and Ilia Cheney will play
Sue Baylis. Frank is played by
Tommy Hines and Lydia by Judy
Jowers.
Dr. Robert Knowles, director of
the play, says that experience
characterizes the "All My Sons"
cast. Mrs. Ellen Ward has done
much professional and semi-pro­fessional
work; she appeared many
times on Theatre 13, a forerunner
of the television program, Studio
One. She has acted several times
previously with the Players. Don
Canty, speech professor, appeared
in "The Chalk Garden," given
here. Jane Griffin, besides acting
in several Players productions,
also directed "The Chalk Garden."
Ilia Shaw Cheney is remembered
for her performances as Teddy in
"Wish You Were Here" and as
Rosiland in "As You Like It." She
has also appeared in Opera Work­shop
presentations. Terry Cross
acted in "The Man Who Came to
Dinner," "My Sister Eileen," and
others. Olin Baker has been seen
in "As You Like It" and in "Our
Town." According to Knowles,
Tommy Hines and Joe Embry are
new to the Auburn Players but
are expected to give very fine
performances.
Knowles has urged everyone to
"come to the Little Theatre and
enjoy this production of one of
Mr. Miller's three greatest plays."
The show will run through May 2.
All students are admitted free and
girls may obtain late permission
to see it.
WARNING!
One of three White Rock hens
missing from the State Diagnos­tic
Lab on the campus is dis­eased
and would be dangerous
if eaten, college officials warn­ed
today. The hen, one of three
taken from cages behind the lab
Wednesday night, has salmon­ella
pullorium and should be
destroyed or returned.
Eating the chicken would re­sult
in illness, and the live hen
itself could effect other birds
exposed to it, officials declared.

New Opportunities
For Ag Graduates
Opportunities f o r agricultural
graduates are much greater today
than a few years ago, according
to Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the
API School of Agriculture and
director of the Agricultural Ex­periment
Station.
Speaking this week at a meet­ing
of the student Agricultural
Economics Club, Dr. Smith said
many graduates are entering agri­cultural
businesses and related
industries, banking, and communi­cations,
in addition to farming and
professional work.
The dean stressed that agricul­tural
graduates need to be well-informed
in the social sciences, in
addition to technical agriculture,
to serve most effectively in the
"agri-business" economy of today.
In tracing the development of the
state's agricultural and industrial
economy, he pointed out the im­portance
of understanding social
and economic problems and the
ability, to work effectively with
people.
Membership of the. club is made
up of students: interested in agri­cultural
economics.

By L. O. BRACKEEN
Over and over Alabamians are
asking: What progress is being
made toward getting Auburn's
electrical and mechanical engi­neering
departments reaccredited?
After having served as dean of
the School of Engineering for one
year, Dean Fred H. Pumphrey this
week answered questions as fol­lows:
Question: Do you feel that the
Engineering School has been able
to make real strides to regain ac­creditation?
Answer: Yes, I believe that
much progress has been made. In
the first place, we have met the
criticism of inadequate entrance
requirements by establishing the
freshman year as a pre-engineer-ing
program. In this way, the stu­dent
and the school have a
chance to find out if the student
is suited to engineering. Only
those students w h o successfully
master the background courses are
accepted into engineering.
In the second place, we have
been able, with the help of the
alumni and industry through the
Emergency Fund Drive, to make
temporary additions to our salary
budget. This enabled us to in­crease
our teaching staff from 76
to 94 or about a 25% increase.
A year ago we had two men with
Ph.D. degrees on our staff. This
year we have four a n d expect
about 10 next year. So we are
making rapid strides in develop­ing
a good graduate faculty as
well as a g o o d undergraduate
staff.
A new engineering building is
under construction. This will
supply an additional 20,000 square
feet of floor space. We will still
be required to hold classes in lab­oratories
and little space will be
available for a rapidly growing
research program.
Question: Is your research pro­gram
under the Engineering Ex­periment
Station?
Answer: Yes, much of it is. On
the other hand, we are also look­ing
forward to establishing an
"educationally centered" sponsor­ed
research program. We antici­pate
cooperation from the Army
Missile Agency at Huntsville, the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
Navy and Air Force.-Tesearch fac­ilities
located to the. south of Ala­bama.
Many people have asked
why we were so modest in our
askings for the Engineering; Ex­periment
funds. It is because we
expect these funds to assist in
establishing Alabama as a strong
state in the field of engineering
and science. This is one of the best
ways to bring industry to Ala­bama.
Question: How about reaccredi-tation?
When do you expect to get
back on the accredited list?
Answer: As I have indicated,
tremendous progress has been
made, but it has only been possible
because the funds were made
available through the generosity
of the alumni and our friends in
industry. The accrediting agency
is not willing to return accredi­tation
until the legislature acts to
supply funds on a permanent ba­sis
to guarantee the progress that
has been accomplished on tempo­rary
funds. If the legislature sup­ports
our program with adequate
appropriations, we should be able
to ask for reinspection in the
spring of 1960—a' year from now.
If the report on the inspection is
favorable as I trust it will be,
notice of reaccreditation would
normally be received during the
fall of 1960.

Concert To Climax
C&L Series For
Scholastic Year
Nell Rankin, • leading mezzo-soprano
Metropolitan Opera star,
will conclude the API Concert and
Lecture series for this school year
with her concert on the Auburn
campus- April. 30.
A native of Montgomery, Miss
Rankin has been acclaimed in
leading European and American
newspapers as the "greatest Car­men
of our time." She is also the
only American in history to have
won the coveted first prize in
Geneva's famous International
Concours de Musique. After this
accomplishment in 1950, Miss Ran­kin
returned to America where
she has become not only a lead­ing
singer of the Metropolitan
Opera in New York City, but a
star at Milan's famous La Scala,
the Vienna State Opera, London's
Convent Garden, Chicago Opera
and many more. Miss Rankin also
appears consistently as soloist
with the world's leading symphony
orchestras.
Formidable v o c a l technique,
extraordinary interpretive pow­ers,
and exciting stage presence
have made Nell Rankin a favorite
of the world's major concert halls,
and the leading mezzo soprano be­fore
the public today.'
ALONG WITH THE more or less routine student body elections, Auburn voters will also get
to cast their ballots for one of the five Miss Aubu rn candidates. From left to right they are: Norma
Taylor, Sandra O'Kelly, Evelyn Ray, Liz Byers, and Molly Sarver.

A Trip...But Where? 4—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, April 3, 1959 Jim Phillips
I t was a b a d night to be out. Lightning
flashed i n t e r m i t t e n t l y and the g u t t e r s
were overflowing with water: The rain
came down in sheets.
The waiting room of Drake Infirmary
was very quiet. In response to an appeal
for blood donors, a dozen or so Magnolia
Hall residents stood leaning against the
walls or lounged thoughtfully on the
couches. A college administrator explain­ed
the details of the accident, checking
himself with a w r i t t e n police report.
Down the h a l l the atmosphere was
even more intense. Working quickly,
surely, doctors tried to stop the ebbing
flow of life. For two h e a r t - b r e a k i n g hours
t h e y tried—and failed. The accident vic­t
im died. It was a bad night to die.
In another hospital, less t h a n t e n miles
away, on the same night, under similar
conditions a similar scene w a s enacted.
Only there were two victims. Last year
about this time the count was four. The
nation's total count for t h e i n t e r im period
r u n s into the tens of thousands.
Large numbers, anonymous casualty
lists, r e g r e t t a b l y mean very little to us. It
takes a tragedy much closer to home to
jolt us out of our complacency. It takes
t h e death of a fellow student, a man we
know by name, a human being to whom
we can readily attach the meaning of the
word "life"—or "death."
This year, as last, we are disturbed to
t h e extent that we want to know where
t h e blame lies. If such a t e r r i b l e t h i n g can
happen so near then it might have been
any one of us. For our own safety's sake,
we want a logical explanation.
But the explanation, for all its simpli­city,
is illogical. The blame is a t t r i b u t ­able
to the a t t i t u d e of each of us where
our driving is concerned. To us, t h e auto­mobile
is a useful machine and no/more.
We rule out its horrible potential and in
doing so bring the potential much closer
to reality. Before we step into a car our
minds have already arrived at our desti­nation.
The time and distance between
a r e traversed by conditioned reflex. To
all practical purposes we are unconscious.
Sometimes the trips we take are long
ones. Sometimes they are the length of
a life span.
&imvtim»cwmm
To Avoid Congestion
From the standpoint of time, t h e short­est
distance between two points is not
always a straight line. As proof of this
assertion we offer the creeping conges­tion
behind the shop buildings after every
class.
Due to the construction of the new en­gineering
building across t h e street, all t he
traffic to and from the t h r e e shop build­ings
must be channeled onto one n a r r ow
sidewalk. Since hundreds are trying to
get to classes in these buildings while
hundreds are trying to get out, the re­sulting
press crawls at an intolerably slow
pace.
Since there is no room to provide an­other
walkway it's readily apparent that
those of us who may be in a h u r r y will
either have to travel by another route or
resign ourselves to t h e snail's pace of the
crowd. We don't really have a very ex­tensive
selection of alternate routes but
wider use of those which are . available
would relieve some of t h e conditions pre­vailing
now.
To those who h a v e classes in Shop
Buildings I and II we would suggest an
approach from the north, or from the
direction of the T e x t i l e Building. This
will save them from having to traverse
t h e e n t i r e length of t h e sidewalk as would
be t h e case if t h e y arrived from the oppo­s
i te direction. The same plan would be
applicable, in reverse, for those leaving
these buildings for classes on the north,
west, and eastern sections of the campus.
Shop Building III can be most easily
approached from the south, or "L" build­ing
side. And vice-versa.
Having observed the temperament of
crowds in other locations, we would be
amazed at t h e cheerfulness of t h e students
forced to accept the push and pull of so
many compressed in such a small area.
But this is Auburn and therefore their
good humor is no more t h a n is to be ex­pected.

ball, a babe an' a b o t t l e of Bud. They have College, of Modesto, California had
formed exaggerated ideas about what takes
place on a college campus and they can't
wait to place t h e i r pad right in t h e middle
of the wildest orgy in operation. We all
had identical ideas in our prep-school days.
Some, regretfully, still have them.
But the rest of us now know t h a t college
is constituted' of h a r d work and we should
act and speak accordingly during Village
Fair so that our visitors will get t h e same
idea.
We most certainly want to make them
t h i n k about every educational opportunity
Auburn can offer, but it is imperative that
we give them the idea that they should
either enroll here to study—or not at all.

Wrong Spot
' I n the first few days of this political
campaign, a hidden danger has t a k e n hold
on campus.
Posters on r e a r windows of automobiles
i n v i t e added tragedy to an already stained
spring traffic record. With t h em blocking
a driver's view, trouble could easily arise.
There's plenty of room in other sections
of each automobile to w a r r a n t removal of
these hazardous signs. And they'll show
up just as well elsewhere on your car.

—move 'em off.—PHILLIPS.
To The Voters
Although the p a r t y system often proves
beneficial to any democratic governmental
setup, it sometimes tends to hinder college
political campaigns when controversial is­sues
are not involved.
" I 'm going to vote t h e p a r t y ticket next
Thursday," displays a misconception of
t h i s election's purpose. The idea is to place
in office the BEST man for the job. A par­t
y vote doesn't necessarily achieve such
ends.
I t ' s amazing that the students of an in­s
t i t u t i on harboring such fine spirit would
show u t t e r disregard for the school's wel­fare.
Pick out the best man whether in
your p a r t y group or not—then cast your
ballott for him. Next year you'll be glad
you did.
claimed the record by packing 33
slightly-built students i n t o a
single booth. What a rage! (Evi­dently
AubUrnites are behind the
times for we have not yet attempt­ed
to set a new record. At least,
I haven't heard of an attempt.)
As I said before, It is not neces­sarily
ideas of love which domin­ate
college students' thoughts dur
ing the spring but, on the conr
trary, the results of vernal mad­ness.
.
Another example is the astound­ing
feat accomplished by a group
of university students who labor­ed
through the pre-dawn hours
and hoisted a jaguar to the top
of t h e campus music building.
How? That's the secret of the
trade.
I understand Cal Tech possess
a novel method of torture. The
ingenious effects are produced by
lowering a hi-fi speaker into a
his sleep with the shrill sound of
a train whistle, or the loud
thumpings of heart beats. The
screeching of owls and sobbing of.
hysterical women are also quite
effective in this method.
Or what about t h e professor
whose entire class did not show
up for class one day and later the
students convinced h i m it was
Saturday. This is rather far fet­ched
but one college does claim
the feat.
Then there is always the story
of various statues which myster­iously
stray or wander off from
their sites to only later wander
back just as mysteriously. Ummm.
Spring pranks and gags con­tinue
to baffle policemen! There
seems to be no rhyme or reason
for certain actions, consequently
the police are unable to use their
usual logical methods of investi­gation
and naturally many prank­sters
still roam.
It has been stated that pranks
are not so prevalent as they were
at the turn of the century because
more students have cars and do
not spend as much time on cam­pus.
The pranks of today are also
more subtle and more scientifi­cally
executed.
Vernal madness is not anything
new for it extends back to the
time of the Greeks and Romans
where records show that "Athen­ian
undergraduates tried giving
Socrates a hot sandal in the mar­ket
place."
Oh! Wednesday was April Fool's
day. I almost forgot, and here
I've filled no telling how many
heads with Wild ideas. Well that's
ok too, for it's no fair using any
of the ideas you just read about.
Think up some of. your own April

of the place, "How many kegs of
beer do you sell in a week?"
"Thirty-five," the manager an­swered

"Well I have just thought of a
way you can sell 70."
The manager was startled,
"How?"
"It's simple, just fill up the
glasses."

With Open Mind
Look 'em All Over
"Vote, I don't care who you vote
for, just vote," is a phrase of
meaningful words heard many,
many times by all of us. Spring
elections are here, and any elec­tion
presents a
problem.. Now I
have my candi­date,
a n d you
have yours, and
I am not going to
vote f o r yours
because mine is
better, a n d you
won't vote for
mine f o r the
exact same rea­son.
But, we will agree that the best
man should win. That would be
the only fair and right thing. But
the best man does not always
carry the victor's flag. Doesn't this
seem wrong?
Everyone of us cannot meet and
talk to each one of the candidates
running; that would be ridiculous,
but we can listen to every thing
said by, for, or against each "con­testant"
with an open mind, and
then with that same open mind we
should vote. The results may not
be perfect, for who is to say who
is good or who is bad, but at
least we can kaow that we tried.
Very seriously I am suggesting
that you follow the plan I just
mentioned. It may not change my
vote, and it may not change your
vote, and if so, we should be vot­ing
for the same person.
He was a perfectionist, without
a doubt, perfectionist extraordi­nary.
Sometimes working under
him became a real strain, almost
unbearable. But we always knew
that the boss was right, however
unmercifully he chewed us out.
This former Tiger athlete who
gave up baseball playing in order
to write about the game, was a
good man to learn under. There
was a lot to Paul Hemphill.
"Scoop" was the sort of fellow
who'd sit you down for an hour
if necessary, scanning your copy
and pointing out every mistake, to
your own benefit. No one on cam­pus
could have had less time to
spend on other folks, but the col­orful
Plainsman sports editor was
ever willing.
It always amazed me that
Hemphill was able to stay in
school. It seemed as though he
never found time to study. He had
three hangouts, and it was an
easy matter to find him at one of
them almost anytime. Writing or
editing copy in the Union Build­ing
Plainsman office, working on
makeup detail in the composing
room of the Lee County Bulletin,
or serving tables at the old Wil­son's
Cafe were my boss's pas­times.
As sports editor, Paul never re­ceived
a penny for his work. Under
the Plainsman sports staff setup,
only the managing editor is sal­aried.
Sp it was no duty of Paul's
to show up at the Bulletin on Mon­day
nights to spend long hours at
the dirty job of composing type
into set pages. But I still recall
Tim Battle
the murmurs each week of staff
members who just couldn't under­stand,
"Scoop stayed around this
morning 'till six again. The guy's
going to kill himself!" That was
Paul for you. He'd never stop un­til
all was satisfactory.
And it paid off! After a brief
stint behind Jess Outlar as an
Atlanta Constitution intern writer
last summer, Scoop moved on to
a better job in Birmingham. Un­der
the able direction of Zip New­man
and Benny Marshall, Hemp­hill's
writing has become one of
the first things many readers look
for when they turn to the sports
pages of the Birmingham News.
That daily's staff regarded Paul's
work so highly that they insisted
on his covering various college
ball games for them this winter,
while he came back to the Plain
for that final quarter and a cher­ished
degree.
If you listened to the ill-fated
Kentucky massacre this past Feb­ruary,
you probably heard Au­burn's
gift to the News' readers
voice his opinion on the contest
at halftime. It was the same sin­cerity
and firmness, the same cool,
level thinking and confidence in
himself, the identical color of ex­pression
that George Wendell,
Ronnie McCullars, Ronnie Harris,
and I used to know. These are the
characteristics that should make
Paul Hemphill great someday,
Auburnites. Famous or not and
wherever he is, somehow Scoop
will always be one of us!
Teacher Supply Now Dwindling
. . . Public Posts No Notice
Leaders of higher education are virtually un­animous
in asserting that the single most pressing
need of today's colleges and universities is "strength­ening
the teaching profession." Spacious campuses, magnificent col­lege
buildings, well-equipped laboratories, comfortable dormitories-all
will be utterly meaningless without teachers to bring higher edu­cation
to life. There is no point in giving every intellectually competent
youngster the opportunity to enter college if the college lacks able
teachers.
The people of today's society
have a virtually unlimited faith
in higher education. They know
what it means for their own chil­dren,
and what it means to the
future of America.. But'they do
not yet understand that this pre­cious
national resource is built
squarely on the vitality of the
teaching profession. And they do
not realize that the teaching pro­fession
is slowly withering away.
This is the central fact which
must be communicated to the
American people. They must re­cognize
that their dream of higher
education for every qualified per­son
is dependent upon prior re­cognition
of the importance of the
teaching pofession. If the Ameri­can
people come to a clear re­cognition
of. that fact, then all
other objectives with respect to
the strengthening of higher edu­cation
will fall into line. If this
goal is not achieved, nothing else
will come out right.
Just the bare fact of widespread
public recognition of the impor­tance
of the teaching profession
would go a long way toward solv-
! ing our problems. Professors are
human', .and they wish to be re­spected.
Youngsters who consider
the possibility of a teaching ca­reer
are heavily influenced by
the degree of public respect for
that career. Too many Americans
have come to think of. the professor
as a patient and rather ineffectual
person who has resigned himself
philosophically to a life of pover­ty.
But able teachers are leaving
the profession, and promising
young men and women who enter
teaching do not wish to get rich.
But if college teaching so im­poverishes
them that they cannot
afford to give their own children
as good an education as they ob­tained
themselves, they may take
a cold second look at their career
decision.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
The entire week was one of
utter misery, especially as I knew
the next one would be worse. I
didn't see how anything could be
worse, but there was certainly
nothing to look forward to.
The particular week I speak of
was the week before finals began
on Wednesday, the 11th of March.
My schedule, beginning Monday
the 2nd, ran like this:
Monday—Hygiene Quiz
Tuesday—History Quiz
Wednesday—Term paper due
Thursday—Classes
Friday—History Quiz and
Hygiene Final
Saturday—Classes!
Monday—Final Design Problem
due
Tuesday—Final Drawing Prob­lem
due
Wednesday—Finals! (two)
This situation, a little better in
some cases or a little worse in
others, was probably duplicated
all over the campus. I'm sure I
wasn't the only person who slept
little, if at all, the week before
and during exams and who ate
just as little because of the lack
of time and because of upset
tummies from taking too much
"stay-awake" medicine.
Winter quarter is the shortest
quarter of the year and it is not
hard to understand the difficul­ties
an instructor encounters in
trying to adequately cover the
material. However, the question
arises: Is it better to skim over
the material and take a quiz over
it immediately preceding finals
or to use the time the quiz con­sumes
in becoming more thor­oughly
familiar with the subject
matter and having the material
included in the final? The latter
seems by far the most sensible
solution.
At Emory and other schools the
practice is to schedule a com­pletely
free day before finals be­gin.
Classes end on one day, the
students have a day for study,
and finals begin the next day.
Perhaps this sounds like a dream,
but other dreams have come true
at Auburn. Maybe someday pro­fessors
will catch on and quit
giving quizzes when finals are
staring students in the face and,
too, maybe, a "catch-up" day will
be scheduled for Auburn students.

Three Years Of Ease. ..
Then You're Scared To Death
Graduation, to a freshman, is a dream which
automatically comes to life after four, five, six years
of studying (one quarter) and socializing. Approxi­mately
one quarter is wasted determining when not to study. As a
result, a few unsuspecting individuals are sucked into the academic
Whirlpool before they become aware of the college social life.
However, the fun-loving ma- stronghold at college. Combos are
jority embrace an atmosphere as
cool as the mountain air in Ba­varia.
Thoughts of graduation, a
job, and life "outside" fade as the
student enters the small world of
the college campus.
Majors change and minors dis­appear
as the demands on one's
time are increased. The colloquial
phrase "school night" drops from
the freshman's vocabulary through
lack of use.
The first evidence of develop­ment
into a true collegiate is to
begin one's weekend on Thurs­day.
Monday, of course, is recup­eration
day, a fact recognized by
an increasing number of profess­ors.
The remaining profs are be­ing
indoctrinated by the alert,
bright-eyed students who do not
fill their class on that day.
Those who complete the matri­culation
(not measured in time)
to sophomore status no longer
realize that someday they will
have to leave. Genesis and exodus
are blurred by frivolity.
Since the "in here" is secure
and pleasure-filled, t h e "out
there" becomes vague and pre­paration
for it reaches a virtual
standstill.
The art of party-giving, seem­ingly
lost to Americans who must
read books on the subject, has a
replaced by records, decorations
by strips of crepe paper, and
punch by ice water; still the party
rolls on undimmed.
Sophomores, masters of. t he
social arts, are the Bohemians of
the college community.
Reaching a junior classification
is not a moment of rejoicing, for
juniors are jittery. The present,
pleasant way of life is shadowed
by thoughts (hastily drowned) of
the future.
Parties are no longer attended
with an air of spontaneous gaiety,
but are scenes of determined ef­forts
to "have a good time." This,
however, is a period of worrying,
not of. action.
Upon the realization that one
is a senior, pandemonium grips the
heart. The bleak awareness that
time is running out has decended.
The social whirl must spin with
the senior's aid, as scholastic en­deavors
become supercharged. His
panic-stricken face appears re­peatedly
on Samford's second floor
(the Graduate Placement Office).
As the d a t e of the Exercises
(Execution) approaches, the fifth
and final stage, that of graduating
senior is experienced. Various
reasons are conjured to remain on
campus at least one more quarter.
But, soon all delays end and life
"out there" is inevitable.

Fifty-Seven Meetings
Scheduled This Month
Fifty-seven county-wide meet­ings
are scheduled this month for
Auburn alumni, parents of stu­dents
and legislators. Each coun­ty
in the state will hold such a
meeting during the week of April
13-20.
It is hoped that through these
gatherings the general public will
become acquainted with Auburn's
problems and needs. An official
of the school will be present at
each meeting to explain the de­tails
of API's drive to obtain more
funds from the legislature.
Joe Sarver, executive secretary
of the Alumni Association, em­phasized
that the success of the
county meetings depends largely
on Auburn students. He explain­ed
that the meetings will not be
publicized very extensively in
each county. Therefore, he urged
each student to write his parents
and inform them of the time and
place of the meetings. A complete
list of each county's meeting date
and location is printed below.
A 30-minute film will be shown
entitled "Blueprint for Progress"
after which the school representa­tive
will answer questions direc­ted
from the floor. The film is a
graphic presentation of the areas
in which the school is considered
lacking.

A very big factor in Auburn's try for Southeastern Conference
domination in track is the mile relay team, coached by Wilbur
Hutsell and his assistant Melvin Rosen.
Hutsell and Rosen agree that the Tiger milers will give LSU
the battle of their lives for the conference championship. "Our
boys have the desire and certainly the ability to take the con­ference
crown in the mile relay," says Coach Rosen when asked
of Auburn's chances in the SEC.
Two veterans, Paul Krebs and Tommy Waldrip, both seniors,
give the team a firm foundation while the other two positions
are manned by sophomores, Bobby Webb and Benny Overstreet.
To give you a better view of the Tiger hopes I will break the
team down into positions and give their statistics.
LEADOFF MAN — BENNY OVERSTREET . . . Overstreet
is a soph from Coffee County High in Georgia where he was
state champion in the quarter mile. An outstanding athlete
Benny was the most sought after trackman in the state upon
graduation from the prep ranks. As a freshman he was on the
mile relay team who won the SEC crown and add to that his
accomplishment as being the 440 yard dash champ in the league.
NO. 2 MAN — BOBBY WEBB . . . Webb is a product of the
Birmingham high school track system. A sophomore and a ter­rific
runner, he also was a member of the frosh relay team to
win the conference diadem. Bobby should give the Plainsmen
a runner who will bring home the bacon in another season.
NO. 3 MAN — PAUL KREBS . . . Rosen compliments that
Krebs is having his best season yet on the cinders. "He's no
surprise to us, but his great running this year is something all
uiGqSuttujia UIOJI aaifui Jieq e si m e j <(-89S o; pe{3 9JB sn jo
who will be a prominent figure in Auburn track notes this year.
ANCHOR MAN—TOMMY WALDRIP . . . The fastest of the
foursome is always the anchor man and this position contributes
greatly to a relay team's success. A better anchor man for the
mile would almost be impossible to find in the south. Tommy, a
senior, who has turned in some mighty good seasons for the
cindermen on the Plains looks to be having another great year.
A graduate of Lanier High School in Montgomery where he was.
the state 440 champ is being favored by SEC coaches to win the
quarter mile this year.
ANOTHER NAME you may add to this speedy quartet is
Leonard Allen, a junior who is pushing all of the four above for
their positions.
With this abundance of potential I must agree with Coach
Rosen, they look like they have a fine chance for the conference
title. LSU had better come up with a couple more Billy Cannons
to outrun this group.
Auburn's track hopes are looking brighter than they have in
the recent past with this fast relay team and the shot and dis­cus
man, Richard Crane, giving such stellar performances.
AND NOW BACK to a rigorous but enjoyable political cam­paign.
Auburn, NCAA Tangle Up Again
Get Two More Years Of Probation
ONE OPINION
By SONNY STEIN
Ace Copy Boy
Thursday afternoon, SEC com­missioner
Bernie Moore held a
special press conference in
which the following facts were
disclosed. Moore, speaking in
behalf of the SEC and the NC­AA,
came out with the startl­ing
announcement that Auburn
was being dropped from the
list of schools under athletic
probation.
Moore said, "This important
decision was reached after ex­tensive
investigation of the
whole matter was carried out. It
is the finding of both the SEC
and NCAA investigating com­mittees,
that the serious charg­es
brought against API were
lacking in truth and based
wholly upon the jealousy and
ruthfulness of various individ­uals
associated with the Univer­sity
of Alabama."
Commissioner Moore gave
details of the investigation.
On the night of April 16,
coach "Bear" Bryant, at that
time head coach of Texas A&M
talked with several representa­tives
of the University of Ala­bama's
alumni association. This
meeting was held in the Silver
Slipper Motel, located several
miles outside of College City,
Texas. During the course of
this confab agreement was
reached that Bryant would ac­cept
the position as head coach
at the U. of A.
Two days later, April 18, Bry­ant
gain met with these un­scrupulous
gentlemen. At this
meeting Bryant stated that he
must have asurance of being
able to capture the best mater­ial
that Alabama, Georgia, and
other surrounding states had to
I offer. Several suggestions were
proposed and agreement was
finally reached that the best
course of action would be to
get Auburn put on athletic pro­bation.
By doing this, athletes
would be discouraged from go-oing
to a school which was ath­letically
disaccredited.
Now that the plan of action
was clearly understood, all that
remained was to bait the trap
for the NCAA bloodhounds. For
this segment of the story ex-coach
"Ears" Whitworth gave
investigators the name of an­other
Alabama alumnus who
took care of this part of the
shady deed.
This other Alabama alumnus
went to GuntersVille, Fuell's
hometown, where he immed­iately
contacted Fuell. He told
Fuell that he was a represen­tative
of the Auburn Alumni
Association and produced forg­ed
documents to remove any
doubts or suspicions that Fuell
might have.
The most crucial point of this
well laid scheme was now com­ing
up. Fuell had wanted to
come to Auburn for some time
and now that the opportunity
had arisen he was ready to
jump at the chance. The Ala­bama
men bestowed several
gifts on Fuell and told him that
he, or one, of his associates,
would return the next day with
a football contract, knowing
full well that an Auburn scout
was to see Fuell the next after­noon.
Before he left, the Ala­bama
man made sure that Fuell
understand that these gifts
were from the alumni and were
not to be mentioned to the
scout.
At any rate the trap was set
and all that remained was to
tip off the NCAA officials. The

Auburn's 1959 edition of its
baseball team now riding along
with two wins to its credit
meets two Southeastern Con­ference
foes this weekend. The
Tigers are on the road with
Vanderbilt at Nashville today
and tomorrow and Monday
back to Plainsman Park for its
first encounter with the Ala­bama
Crimson Tide.
At Nashville the Tigers will
be seeking their third win of
the season. A double-header is
scheduled for tomorrow's fra­cas.
The Commodores are hav­ing
a very good season—thus
far they are unbeaten—and
they will be looking for a Tig­er
scalp to add to their illus­trious
collection.
A strong pitching staff is the
Vandy boast while Auburn will
be swinging away for those
long hits which tend to contri­bute
to a baseball team's win­ning
ways.
Monday afternoon in Auburn
the Plainsmen will be facing
another undefeated SEC con­tender
when they meet the
cross-stale rivals, Alabama.
The Crimson Tide downed
Tulane twice last week and
have had little trouble with an
opponent so far this year.
Always a good game is the
Tide-Tiger contest and with the
Auburnites a new hope has
been found and they will be
looking for an upset over the
victory-seeking Tiders.

AND ANOTHER
By PAUL ADAMSON
Riff-Raff Reporter
Already on probation until
1961, the Auburn Tigers receiv­ed
another stiff blow at the an­nual
meeting of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
meeting last week as they were
handed another two year pen­alty,
which now makes them
ineligible to participate in NC­AA
sponsored events until May
of 1963.
The Tigers were accused of
giving more than a grant in aid
to one of the outstanding play­ers
in the state of Georgia.
They were said to have offered
Theron Sott, ex-Georgia peach
picker his pick of the peaches
at the Loveliest Village of the
Plains. Now this doesn't include
Dorm 3 where there are no real
peaches to pick from.
Sott w a s interviewed after
he found out that the Tigers
drew the suspension and had
this to say, "I don't care if
youse guys are on prohibition
or not, if'n youall will let me
get at them Auburn coeds I'll
play ball for you whether the
NAACP cares or not."
When asked about the sus­pension,
Jeff Bored had this to
say, "Sure, we offered Theron
the pick of the peaches; sure,
we're in the wrong; sure, we're
guilty; sure, we done i t . . . but
how in the world can you ex­pect
us to produce a winning
football team if we don't pull
the same stunts as the Univer­sity
of Alabama, Kentucky and
Georgia Tech."
Also the reporters who were
swarming the Auburn campus
approached head coach Ralphie
Jergans, better known as the
"Sugar Daddy of the Plains."
When asked what he thought
of the unfortunate situation, he
replied, "Whaddaya mean . . . .
GUILTY? We never done any­thing
wrong in our lives . . .
we been took in again by dem
lousy bums who call dem selves
da governing body of aihletics."
This marks the third time in
the last four years that the
Tigers have been accused of
trying to buy their players. The
other two times the Tigers were
guilty but this time this writer
thinks that they are in the
clear. Just because "Sugar Dad­dy"
was seen at Theron's house
last week at 3:00 in the morn­ing
with a contract and one of
the Awburn coeds; just because
Theron was mysteriously given
a 1959 Thunderhawk, equipped
with an Awburn coed; just be­cause
Theron's father was given
a new outdoor woodworking
srop, equipped with a Vander-built
coed (Mr. Sott was a
graduate of Vandy and is par­tial
. . . besides this took quite
a bit of daing for "Sugar Dad­dy"
to lure one of the Commo­dores
coeds to the Cow Col­lege
and it deserves a little
recognition). These are some
. of the outlandish, wild and ab­surd
reasons that the NAACP
thinks the Tigers are guilty.
One more violation by the
Plainsman and they will be
expelled from the SEC. This
fact was noted at the last meet­ing
of the Board. And we are
not using the word last in the
sense of being the latest but as
if to mean final. The Board will
not be able to meet again be­cause
several of the members
have been reported missing.
This is a strange coincidence
(Continued on page 7)
Jordan Fires Draughon
API head man, Ralph Jordan
announced today that R. B.
Draughon has been relieved of
his position as president of the
school.
Jordan (pronounced Jur-dan),
said that Draughon (pronounc­ed
Smith), "was being remov­ed
for the good of the athletic
department" and that "he
Draughon) had become more of
a hinderance than an aid to a
championship athletic program."
The rift was caused by re­peated
requests to the athletic
department on the part of the
ex-president for funds with
which to improve Auburn's ed­ucational
facilities. Jordan had
refused to relinquish any mon­ey
on the grounds that it was
necessary to provide for more
football scholarships.
The disagreement soon de­veloped
into a bitter fuel and
has now ended in Draughon's
dismissal.
Likely successors to the presi­dent
position are Tom Pilgreen,
Mort Sahl, Alfred E. Neuman,
or maybe John Wallace already
yet.
However, if Jordan has any­one
in mind, he's not saying.

Face Alabama
By JAMES ABRAMS
Plainsman Sports Writer
If predictions hold any truth,
then Auburn's golf, team will
have a good chance to even up
their season record next Monday
when Alabama comes to the
Plains. Coach Dragoin, a man
who will tell you right off the
bat just what he thinks his
teams chances are, gives Auburn
the green light against Bama.
Last week Bryant Harvard
took over as the Tigers top
stickman, moving up from the
number three spot. Johnny Cross
shifted from number five to
number two, Langston McNice
dropped to the number three
man and Lewis Ray found him­self
number six man after the
qualifying rounds. Roy Abell
made his first appearance this
season in the varsity ranks as
he took over the number four
place.
Geoi'gia, playing like seasoned
veterans, came close to shutting
out the Tigers, 24-3. Lewis Ray
picked up two of Auburn's
points, while Johnny Gross and
Roy Abell collected one-half, a
point apiece. Sophomore Frank
Eldridge led the Bulldogs by
posting a one under par, 18 hole
total of 71.

Russell's hair. Highways and
hotels were filled to overflow­ing
as the unprecedented out­growth
gained international at­tention
and curiosity seekers
flooded the plains.
Milling throngs ringed the
Russell household under Cliff
Hare Stadium hoping for a
glimpse of the fuzz which gave
new life to the world's bald-headed
millions.
Russell, head coach of Au­burn's
baseball, badminton,
mumbletypeg, pole, (API spel­ling
pool), and curling teams,
could not be reached for com­ment.
It is rumored that he
locked himself in a room with
thousands of mirrors, combs,
hair tonics, etc., sent to him
since his dome resprouted.
In an early press release
Ebullient Ersky, as he is not
known, stated that the whole
development stemmed from a
bet with Lloyd Nix, a pitcher
on the baseball team. The bet
stipulated that Russell would
attempt to grow hair if and
when Nix pitched a winning
ballgame. Last week Nix went
the distance in Auburn's 8-5
conquest of Georgia, and last
week Russell concentrated on
hair growing with remarkable
results.
At first light fuzz appeared
was mistaken for dirt during
daily polishings. Later when it
became obvious wha twas hap­pening,
the country was in­formed
and immediately Rus­sell's
head catapulted into world­wide
prominence.

'59 Schedule Lists
All-Girls Team
For the first time in the his­tory
of Auburn, the Tigers
have a girls team on the sche­dule
for the 1959 season. This
new 10-game slate was re­leased
by Athletic Director Jef­ferson
Frederick Brood.
Last year the Tigers finished
with a 9-0-1 record and this
year they are not expected to
do as well since they lost their
number one piledriver Maggie
McCullars, one of the shaplier
coeds from dorm 7.
Another team on the ten-game
slate is the Academy for the
continuance of Ontarian Indian
Athletes (ACOIA). This game
should prove to be a thriller as
they cannot understand one
word of English and they never
know what the referees are
talking about.
Probably the best team that
will show on the Plains this
fall will be the Liquid Lapping
Eleven coming to the public as
a courtesy of the Plainsman
Club. They will show at Cliff
Hair Stadium in an exhibition
game against Archie.
The girls team that is coming
will be the Sexy Sisteen from
Julian Tutwiler Prison, just
outside of Wetumpka. The Tig­ers
voted unanimously to play
this team, much to-the amaze­ment
of Dean of Women, Kitty
Kater. Don't get the wrong idea
— she is the dean of women at
the prison, not at good -ole API.
All in all the Tigers should
do all right next year, after all,
they pay their athletes enough
to enter a team in the National
Football League.

rest of the story you are quite
familiar with, so further details
are unnecessary.
When asked what action would
be taken, coach Ralph Jordan
said, "We well all along that
we were not at fault—it was
our word against that of the
NCAA and the judging commh>
tee decided to take that of the
latter. As far as I am concerned
court procedings should be
started at once against Bryant
and the. rest, of his monkeys. A
zoo would be the best place for
them and I'd much rather thrtrw
peanuts to them than footballs.

because at the time they wer&
discovered to be missing a few
of the Auburn coaches, "Shoot
'em up" Sinn, "Bear" Lorendo,
"Halibut" Herring (This name
sounds a little fishy) and Vin-sin
"Tom" Dooley were taking
their vacation in the same town
where the meeting was held.
At the present that is all of
the dettails, but should more
light be thrown on the subject
it will be published in the Ala­bama
Farmer, the Grit, or the
Glomerata, or some other such
publication as the aforemen­tioned.

THE CARE AND FEEDING OF ROOM-MATES
Room-mates are not only heaps of fun, but they are also very
educational, for the proper study of mankind is man, and there
is no better way to learn the dreams and drives of another man
than to share a room with him.
This being the case, it is wise not to keep the same room­mate
too long, because the more room-mates you have, the
more you will know about the dreams and drives of your
fellow man. So try to change room-mates as often as you can.
A recent study made by Sigafoos of Princeton shows that the
best interval for changing room-mates is every four hours.
How do you choose' a room-mate? Most counselors agree
that the most important thing to look for in room-mates is that
they be people of. regular habits. This, I say, is arrant nonsense.
What if one of their regular habits happens to be beating a
Chinese gong from midnight to dawn? Or growing cultures in
your tooth glass? Or reciting the Articles of War?
lwitftitfitiMswrtrote,
ws
Regular habits, my foot! The most important quality in a
room-mate is that he should be exactly your size. Otherwise
you will have to have his clothes altered to fit you, which can
be a-(Considerable nuiBahce. In fact, it is sometimes flatly im­possible.
I recollect one time I roomed with a man named
Osage Tremblatt who was just under seven feet tall and weighed
nearly four hundred pounds. There wasn't a blessed thing I
could use in his entire.wardrobe—until one night when I was
mvited'to a masquerade party. I cut one leg off a pair of Trem-blatt's
trousers, jumped into it, sewed up both end?, and went
to the party as a bolster. I took second prize. First prize went
to a girl named Antenna Radnitz who poured molasses over
her head and went as a candied apple.
But I digress. Let us turn back to the qualities that make
desirable room-mates. Not the least of these is the cigarettes
thpy. smoke. When we bum cigarettes, do we want them to be
shoddy and nondescript? Certainly not! We want them to be
distinguished, gently reared, zestful and zingy. And what ciga­rette
is distinguished, gently reared, zestful and zingy? Why,
Philip Morris, of corris! Any further questions?
To go on. In selecting a room-mate, find someone who will
wear well, whom you'd like to keep as a permanent friend.
Many of history's great friendships first started in college. Are
you aware, for example, of the remarkable fact that Johnson
and Boswell were room-mates at Oxford in 1712? What makes
this fact so remarkable is that in 1712 Johnson was only three
years old and Boswell had not yet been born. But, of course,
children matured earlier in those days. Take Mozart, who
wrote his first symphony at four. Or Titian, who painted his
first masterpiece at five. Or Hanso Felbgung, who was in many
ways the most remarkable of all; he was appointed chief of the
Copenhagen police department at the age of six!
It must be admitted, however, that he did badly. Criminals
roamed the city, robbing and looting at will. They knew little
Hanso would never pursue them—he was not allowed to cross
the street. oigMMuShuimu
If you are allowed to cross the street, hie yourself to a to­bacconist
and stock up on Philip Morris, outstanding among
non-filter cigarettes, or Marlboro, the filter cigarette with
better "makin's." Pick your pleasure.

Myers
Leader
Of Ring
Leon "Smiley" Myers was ap­prehended
early this morning
by the API Campus Police in
a crackdown on gambling and
dope rings operating on the
Plains. Myers, an erstwhile
football tackle, was exposed as
the head man in the outfit
whose weekly busisess in the
whose weekly business in the
mark.
The entire force of the cam­pus
police descended upon My­ers'
residence in Graves Cen­ter
in the wee hours of the
lis*''" s-^£ 'i
"SMILEY" MYERS
morning, catching the ring
leader and several associates
by surprise. Myers, Bobby
Lauder, and Cary Senn were
counting the daily take when
the police burst through the
wall to put an end to the ille­gal
gambling and narcotics
trade. The criminals surrender­ed
meakly to both of the offi­cers.
Subsequent investigation un­earthed
a supply of slot ma­chines
and a football filled with
heroin valued at approximately
$2,500,000. The cabin was also
reported to be easily converted
into a casino for night-time use
complete with gaming tables
and a bar.
Other athletes living in the
vicinity were shocked to learn
of the arrests. "I never would
have suspected them," said
Jimmy Laster when told of the.
raid. "Such nice boys, too," ad­ded
Benny Catchings.
It is not known just how in­volved
the organization had
become or how greatly it ex­tended.
A conservative estimate
placed the number of addicts in
this area at some 28,000—al­most
200 per cent of the total
population.
The Campus Police, however,
could not hold the criminals
overnight since they only have
had training in writing park­ing
tickets. Myers and gang
have reportedly taken political
asylum in the Cuban Embassy
in front of API's main gate.

In the SEC
By WAYNE KINGER . . . Asst. Sports Editor
The SEC baseball race is be­ginning
to resemble a horse
race, with twelve darkhorses
and not a single favorite. With
the season only two weeks old,
Alabama and Vandy are the
SEC's teams with perfect rec­ords.
Including conference and
non-conference games Bama
leads the Western division 2-0,
followed by Ole Miss 2-1, Mis­sissippi
State 4-3, LSU 6-5, and
Tulane 1-3.
In the Eastern loop Vandy is
3-0, Georgia Tech 4-1-2, Ken­tucky
4-2, Georgia 3-3, Florida
2-4, Auburn 1-5-1, and Tennes­see
0-0. The Auburn Tigers in
vade Nashville this weekend
for a three-game series with
unbeaten Vanderbilt. Bama will
move into the Plains Monday for
an encounter with Auburn.
Coach Happy C a m p b e l l 's
Crimson Tide of 1959 has few
familiar names missing from
the roster in Jack Kubisyn,
Bobby Ledford, and Lagrant
Scott. Those players are still in
the state, playing with Mobile
of the Southern Association.
Campbell is expecting great
results from shortstop Gene Gi-annini
and third baseman Ken
Chapman; both are sophomores.
Bud Blemker of Georgia Tech
seems to be ragaining some of
his sophomore style (9-0) in
giving up only one hit in 13 in­nings.
Blemker led Tech to win
the Miami Sports Carnival, a
baseball tournament between
Yale, Miami and Tech. Tech has
an all-soph infield, which has
been getting the job done very
well. Georgia Tech could be a
contender for the SEC crown
if Blemker can continue his
winning pace, and if the soph­omores
don't turn green in the
clutch.
Coach Dave Fuller of the
University of Florida calls his
centerfielder Bobby Geissinger,
one of the best defensive out­fielders
in the league. Bobby
is also captain of the '59 U of F
nine.
The 1959 Auburn basketball
team set a national record this
season for over-all shooting ef­ficiency
by making 54.2 per
cent of all points attempted—
both field goals and free throws.
Coach Bobby Dodd of Geor­gia
Tech is trying to emphasize
the idea of fewer mistakes to
his spring training troop.
Keith Molesworth, player
personnel director of the Balti­more
Colts, has been touring
the SEC spring training camps.
After observing about ten teams
Molesworth commented that Au­burn
has the biggest players
that he has seen in the South.
Mississippi State's B a i l ey
Howell has been drafted by the
Detroit Pistons to play profes­sional
basketball. Gene Tor-mohlen
of the University of
Tennessee was drafted by the
Syracuse Nationals. "Wilt the
Stilt" Chamberlain—the 7-foot
former Kansas star, who is now
playing with the Harlem Globe­trotters,
has agreed to play
with the Philadelphia Warriors,
next year in the National Bas­ketball
Association.

Coach R. K. Evans, Director
Intramural Sports for men, has
for many years desired the wid­est
possible participation upon
the part of the students. With
this in mind, he has devised an
entirely new program which
includes the sports Auburn stu­dents
are most interested in.
In free-style beer-drinking,
individual and group contests
will be held. Casino, Pinochle,
Poker, Blackjack, Gin, Red Dog
and all types of card games Will
be featured. Thenn, of course,
there will also be the whiskey
and vodka chug-a-lug competi­tions.
Men taking part in the "guz­zling
exhibitions must furnish
their own drinks. The winner
will be declared when his op­position
disappears under the
table or when nature's reverse
law of gravity overtakes his op­ponent.
In the card games, all parti­cipants
furnish the money. The
man winning the greatest
amount of cash will be the win­ner
and the champion retains
his earnings.
No co-recreational e v e n ts
have been decided upon so
far. However, Coach Evans has
been noticing the increasing
number of cars headed toward
the lake and has some very
good ideas for this league.
Intramurals got off to a fly­ing
start this quarter with a
track meet Tuesday and Wed­nesday.
The action has thus be­gun,
and there are no indica­tions
of it letting up.
The calendar of intramural
events is crowded to everflow-ing.
On April 6, play begins in
the tennis and horseshoes lea­gues.
Softballs will be whacked
in earnest the following day as
that league officially opens.
"Birds" will fill the air on April
14, when the boys step on the
badminton courts.
As there is still indecision on
the type of tournament for golf,
no tee-off date has yet been set.
If you have nothing to do in
the afternoons, why not take in
one of the intramural games.
The same sun that shines on the
lake shines on these fields. And
even if you don't want a sun-tan,
you will be supporting
your favorite team and a very
worthwhile endeavor.

Now Auburn has become the
target of mobs of the perenial-ly
bald, all craving the secret
of success. So far Russell has
resisted all efforts to uncover
the knowledge of his method,
but the effects of the constant
uproar are telling upon his
health. A reliable source says
that he is losing hair with wor­ry.
Alabama Governor, John Pat­terson,
is considering imposing
a state of martial law if condi­tions
in the area do not show
improvement soon.

L < r v ^ *£ ^
The problem was not that
Marty had fallen in love with
a shirt. After all, he was
a Philosophy major.
The trouble w a s . . . Marty
was in love with two shirts.
With Shirt No. 1, the Van
Heusen Century, the serious
Marty spent hours in heaven­ly
bliss. He worshipped the
revolutionary soft collar that
won't wrinkle ever. It was
Century's one-piece construc­tion
that drove him wild.
(Other collars never did any­thing
for our boy Marty, ex­cept
wrinkle madly. You see,
other collars are three pieces,
fused or sewn together.)
' With Shirt No. 2, the amaz­ing
Van Heusen "Vantage,"
the gay, frivolous Marty lived
tbelifeofcarefreeabandon.Ho
could wear it and wear it—
wash it—drip-dry it, or have
it tumble-dried automatically
—and wear it again in a matter
of hours. I t was the most mon­ey-
saving love he ever had.
But when Marty was with
one shirt, he missed the other.
It was terrible. Like so many
others with the same problem,
Marty wrote to us. And so
it came to pass that the Van
Heusen " Century-Vantage"
was born. This shirt combined
theadvantagesof eachintoone
great shirt—a wash and wear,
no-iron, all cotton broadcloth
shirt with the soft collar that
won't wrinkle ever! And just
$5! Have you a problem?
