Auburn Educational Needs Stated By Educators
Funchess Sees Need
For 15 New Buildings
Library Heads Construction List;
Classroom Space Also In Demand
By MARY KATE SCRUGGS
An estimated $14,000,000 is needed for the construction of
fifteen academic and administrative-type buildings for API.
Financial assistance is being sought from the legislature, ac­cording
to Col. L. E. Funchess, director of buildings and
grounds.
The most urgent need is for a
new library- The existing struc­ture
can accommodate, at any
one time, only six per cent of the
8,000 students presently enrolled.
A new chemistry building is
needed. There has been no addi­tion
made to the present build­ing
since it was erected in 1930,
when enrollment was approxi­mately
3,500.
The fifty-year-old Home Eco­nomics
Building was originally
built for use as a dormitory or a
social center. It is neither large
enough nor suited for classroom
use.
A new science laboratory and
classroom building would replace
the temporary buildings which
were built during World War II
and which are too small and pre­carious
for ideal classroom in­struction.
Due to present over­crowded
conditions, no permanent
space can be assigned and shifts
in labs from 7:00 a.m. until af­ter
normal afternoon hours are
necessary. This is inconvenient
both to students and instructors,
and the situation would be re­lieved
with a new building.
Improvements in existing con­ditions
are to be desired. Refloor-ing
and new floor coverings are
needed in the dining halls. Also,
several buildings need re-wir­ing
to insure maximum safety.
API is currently co-operating
with the City -ipf Auburn and the
Water Board to- finance a new
water storage tank which will
improve pressure and availabil­ity
of water. The present water
system is inadequate for the
hanndling of a serious fire, should
one occur.
Statistics gathered in a survey
made last November showed an
average of $8,600,000 of construc­tion
for 59 major colleges. The
University of Georgia will soon
have a new $12,000,000 Science
Center. Similar structures are
being raised at the University of
Florida and at Florida State Uni­versity.
The foregoing are only a few
of the immediate needs which
must be remedied if API is to
continue as a leading institution.
Cancelled Conceit
Now Scheduled
For April 14
The Kingston Trio will visit
the Auburn campus on Tuesday,
April 14. Joint sponsors, B l ue
Key and ODK, announced that
tickets purchased for their pre­viously
cancelled engagement
here may be used for admission
to this concert. The popular sing­ing
group was originally sche­duled
to appear at Auburn on
March 5 but due to the sickness
of one of the members, they were
forced to postpone their appear­ance.
On the 16th, the Trio will pre­sent
t w o 4 5 - m i n u t e per­formances
separated by a 20-
minute intermission. As estimated
crowd of 2,000 is expected at the
student activities building for the
8:00 p.m. concert.
Organized by Dave Guard in
1956, the Kingston Trio has trav­eled
far in success and present­ly
has unsurpassed, popularity in
the popular music field. The
group, consisting of Guard, Bob
Shane and Nick Reynolds, began
their professional career in May
of 1957 at a Stanford University
campus hangout. Within ten
months they had engagements in
Chicago and New York and have
since included recording sessions,
television appearances and road
trips in their iteneraries.
Cuz Crow Wright
Passes Away
Crow Wright, better known as
"Cuz" to API students, died Mon­day,
March 16 in Auburn. His
funeral was held the following
day.
Cuz, a ticket collector at the
War Eagle theatre for seven years,
was born and raised in Auburn
and lived here air his life. He was
considered as much a part of Au­burn
as Samford Tower and was
well-liked by all who knew him.
ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE CROWDED conditions in Auburn's inadequate library is this con­fused
scene. Because of the.lack of^storage space, many books as well as these periodicals are
stored in areas which, contribute to their rapid deterioration. The old library is considered the pri­mary
inadequacy of Auburn's physical ^lant. (See story on page 5.)j
Spring Elections Scheduled For April 9;
Miss Auburn, School Officers On Ballot
Finalists for.the Miss Auburn contesfc^amed. Monday
night, areLiz Byers, Sandra p'Keliy, Evelyn Ray, Molly Sar-ver,
and Norma Taylor. They were selected from,a group of
40 girls by a student and faculty panel of judges. The contest
will be an integral part of the Spring elections which are sche­duled
for Thursday, April 9.
Election of student government
officers for next year will be held
on the same date. Poll boxes will
be located in the individual
schools, and voting will begin at
8:00 that morning and end at
4:30 the same afternoon. Repre­sentatives
of both parties will be
present at each voting box to
check voters and see that the
voting is carried out in the pre­scribed
manner.
Final party meetings will take
place Tuesday, March 24, and all
declarations of intent must be
filed by midnight of the 24th'. On
the 26th a meeting of all candi­dates
will be held to explain
campaign rules. The actual cam­paign
will begin around 9 p.m.
Tuesday, March 31, and will end
at midnight, April 8.
Students-voting for their res­pective
senators will be voting
one year ahead. The number of
senators to each class are as fol­lows:
three sophomores, four
juniors, five seniors, and one 5th
year senator. All students will
vote for president, vice-president,
secretary, and treasurer of the
student body, Miss Auburn and
the editors and business managers
of The Plainsman and Glomerata.
Saturday Classes;
A Necessary Evil
The old practice of five school
days and two days of rest which
students enjoy in high school does
not always hold true at Auburn.
In order to meet the require­ment
of 50 class days per quar­ter,
Saturday classes are held fre­quently—
once during the spring
quarter and three times during
the summer and winter quarters.
Good news! There are no more
Saturday classes this quarter.
AC0IA To Begin Next Thursday
BY BOBBY HARPER
The second annual Auburn Conference on International
Affairs is to be held at API April 2-3. Twenty Southern col­leges
and universities are expected to be represented at the
Conference. Each school will send two official delegates and
Auburn will be represented by 60 delegates.
The aims of ACOIA are to pro­vide
information as to what the
current world situation involves
and the role of the United States
in foreign affairs. The Auburn
Student Senate, which sponsors
the Conference, reasons that world
problems might be dealt w i th
more effectively if we as college
students more readily accept the
responsibility and privilege of
learning the nature of these prob­lems.
Response to the initial Con­ference
held last spring indicated
that Auburn students and students
throughout the Southeast desire to
gain greater international perspec­tive.
This year an impressive group
of well-informed speakers will
present and develop the Con­ference
theme "Western Europe
—Key to Foreign Policy?" The
principal speakers are Hanson
W. Baldwin, Military Editor of
the New York Times; Douglass
Cater, Washington Editor of
The Reporter; Granville Ram-age,
Her Britannic Majesty's
Consul in Atlanta; and H. W.
Dittman, second secretary, Bot-shaft
der Bunderrepublik Deut-shland,
(the German Embassy),
Washington, D.C.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning col­umnist,
Hanson W. Baldwin is
now in his 25th year of reporting
for The Times. He travels exten­sively,
inspecting military instal­lations,
keeping track of the latest
developments in the atomic race,
and covering the war fronts. Mr.
Baldwin, who was graduated, as
the outstanding man in the Anna­polis
class of 1924, has lectured
extensively at many of the na­tion's
leading universities.
Douglass Cater, a regular
observer at the White House
presidential press conferences,
at the more notable Senate
hearings, and in Congress, is a
southerner by birth, coming
f r o m Montgomery, Alabama.
Following World War II, he
spent three consecutive sum­mers
traveling through Europe
studying the devastating effects
of war and watching the recon­struction
programs in the war-ravaged
countries. During these
trips he was able to observe
first-hand the policies as set up
by the post-war communist
party which has come to harass
current American policy-mak­ers.
Granville Ramage was born in
the Scottish Lowlands and was
educated at Glasgow University.
He joined t h e British Foreign
Service in 1947 and from 1956 un­til
his current assignment he had
charge of the Vietnam and Indo­nesia
desks in the Southeast Asia
Department of the Foreign Office.
Mr. Baldwin will give the open­ing
talk at one o'clock Thursday
in Langdon Hall. The title of his
address will be: "Where Do We Go
From Here?" The public is invited
to attend the principal addresses.
From 3 to 5 p.m. the official dele­gates
to the Conference will divide
into four groups for round-table
discussions. Each discussion group
will be led by one of the principal
speakers.
Thursday night at 7:30 the
second address, to be given by
Mr. Cater, will concern "Foreign
Policy." Immediately following
his address a reception will be
held in the Faculty Lounge in
the Union Building.
Granville Ramage will lecture
on the economic aspects of fore­ign
policy at nine o'clock Friday
morning. A tour of the campus
will be conducted for the principal
speakers and delegates from other
colleges. Two round-table discus­sions
will be held Friday after­noon.
The final function of the Con­ference
will be a banquet Friday
night for the speakers, visiting
delegates, and delegates from
API. It is hoped that the German
Consul to the United States will
be able to attend and give the
banquet address.
Students who are not official
delegates b u t desire to partici­pate
in ACOIA are encouraged to
do so. Two-hour Council of Deans
excuses will be granted at the
door to students attending Con­ference
addresses providing they
are not missing ROTC activities
or labs. Discussion groups, con­ducted
by delegates and assisted
by faculty advisors, will welcome
non-delegates until space . pro­hibits.

Women Faced With
Housing Shortage
^ p r m g g a r t e r - a g a i n "finds wo­men's
enrollment above the hous­ing
capacity of Auburn's 17 hous­ing
units. Consequently, in many
instances, three women must
share a 17' x 12' room, one desk,
one study lamp and one dresser.
On October I, 1958, the Head
of Women's Housing began re­ceiving
applications for rooms for
fall quarter, 1959. Three months
later, on Jan. 1, all dorms were
filled and gome 200 girls were
refused entrance into Auburn for
lack of housing accommodation.
1,242 women students can be
properly housed on the campus,
ter, the number of women living
At the beginning of last fall quar-in
the dorms was 1,332. Even
pressing rooms had to be con­verted
into living space in some
instances.
During l a s t winter quarter,
when enrollment tends to be low­er,
it was nevertheless necessary
to use triples as well as Boyd
House a n d Grey House, auxil­iary
housing units.
Student Govt. Confabs
Set For April 24-25
Two student government con­ferences
will- be ?he^d in Auburn
on April 24-25.
The Southern Universities'
Student Government Association,
(SUSGA), and the Alabama Stu­dent
Government Conference
have both scheduled business
meetings and discussion panels
for the two-day confabs.
SUSGA is an association of
large colleges ' and universities
throughout the South. According
to Sonny Colvett, SUSGA chair­man,
more than 28 schools from
Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and
South Carolina will be represent­ed
at the meeting.
The Alabama Student Govern­ment
Conference will include del­egates
from all colleges in the
State of Alabama. Affirmative
replies of attendance have al­ready
been received from 10 of
the schools representing 63 dele­gates.
Members of the planning com­mittee
for the Alabama confer­ence
are Bill Jones, housing; Bill
Ham, finance; Jim McGinnis, pro­gram;
Stan Sikes, contacts; Roy
Redderson, banquet and Sandra
Stacy, secretary.

Low Salary Scale
Brings Large Loss
Of Better Teachers
By GAYLE JONES
I The presest situation concern­ing
the needs of the Auburn fac­ulty
is a result of the fact that
API is losing its faculty members
constantly because of underpay­ment.
In fact, the average salary
of- an Auburn professor is • ap­proximately
$2,200 less than the
national average, This is npt the
only, problem. Auburn needs at
least 100 new faculty members- to
jtake care of the constantly rising
enrollment. Too many classes are
overcrowded. Just since 1951 the
number of students enrolled has
increased from 5,670 to 8,517, and
during this period of almost 10
years, only once has the Alabama
State Legislature appropriated
funds to increase the Auburn fac­ulty.
. . .
API not only needs more teach­ers,
but it must be able to meet
the national average in the qual­ity
of its professors. The only an­swer
is higher salaries. At the
present Auburn • cannot compete
with other colleges and universi­ties
in employing and holding—
which is an even greater crises—
high-quality teachers. Recently
Auburn has been forced to re­place
departing teachers with
professors who have less exper­ience
and who hold lesser de­grees.
The national average for
bachelors degrees is 15 per cent
as compared to Auburn's 27 per
cent. On the other hand, the per­centage
of professors holding doc­toral
degrees is 37.per cent na­tionally,
whereas Auburn's per­centage
is 'only 23: per cent.
As a consequence of the facul­ty
situation, the standing of such
professional schools as architec­ture,
engineering and veterinary
medicine have been in jeopardy
with the national accrediting
agencies during the past few
years. It is nationally known that
last November t h e departments
of electrical and mechanical en­gineering
lost their accredited
standing with the Engineering
Council for Professional Devel­opment.
However, the danger
doesn't stop here but extends in­to
the other schools on campus
as well.
The facts surrounding the needs
of the Auburn faculty are becom­ing
more serious every year.
Funds must be appropriated for
higher salaries and an increased
number of faculty members if
Auburn is to remain the institu­tion
of higher learning that it is
now, and if it is to continue to
serve the people of Alabama and
other states in educating its young
people adequately.
Village Fair Plans
Approach Climax
Plans for Village Fair, the an­nual
Auburn open house, are rap­idly
nearing completion, an­nounced
the chairman,' Bob Lynn,
Tuesday.
The event will be held on April
10-12 and will adhere strictly to
its theme, "An Introduction to
College."
Although the Fair has many
social events, it has been planned
specifically for those high school
students who want to see what a
college education has to offer and
who would like to look over the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
particular.
According to Lynn, Village Fair
will present Auburn visitors with
an insight into college life. It will
emphasize spirit, education, and
religion.
Also included in the weekend's
activities will be tours and ex­hibits,
fraternity open house, a
campus dance, a festival, parade,
soap box derby, varsity base­ball
game with Georgia Tech, and
several other campus-wide events.
Any high school student who
wishes to attend Village Fair
should write or contact Bob Lynn,
Room 311, Auburn Union Build­ing,
Auburn, Ala. Housing will
be free and there will be a slight
charge for meals.

Fire Destroys House
At Thach And Gay St.
By BEFKE DeRING
Fire destroyed an apartment
house located on the corner of
Thach and South Gay Street, Sat­urday,
March 14.
The blaze, noticed by two po­lice
officers on a routine patrol,
was reported at 1:22 a.m. The
dwelling, owned by Mrs. Robert
Ward, was rented by Mr. and
Mrs. Roy C. Wilson, who sub-let to
boarders and operated a cafe in
the basement.
According to the Auburn fire
department, the fire started in the
basement kitchen. With the as­sistance
of the Opelika Fire Dept.,
the Auburn firemen kept the
blaze from spreading to o t h e r
buildings, however the apartment
house was a total loss.
The building, which was for­merly
the Pi Kappa Alpha fra­ternity
house, was the home of 26
Auburn students.
Hazardous Broun Hall Is Ultimate
In Architectural Confusion
By JOE DYESS
The most unique building on t h e A u b u r n campus is w i t h ­out
doubt Broun Hall. This building, somewhat of a relic,
still stands in t h e midst of its a r c h i t e c t u r a l confusion.
Construction was b e g u n in 1910 on w h a t is n ow t h e cen­t
e r of t h e building. Both wings were added to t h e m a i n struc­ture
at later dates. Other small
changes have been made on the
different parts of t h e building,
vainly attempting to adapt it to
rising needs.
It is the general thought that
the building was designed (using
the word loosely) by two differ­ent
men, on different boards. Af­ter
checking with past records, it
can safely be said that they did
not even use boards.
There are a number of unique
things about this building.
It seems that the big columns
in front were left with nothing
to support. The outlook while in­side
can be of three types as
there are half-arch, full-arch and
rectangular windows in the var­ious
parts of the building. To get
from one side of the building to
the other on first floor, it is nec­essary
to go out side the building
and re-enter it through another
door. This proves most unsatis­factory
on rainy days.
When considering the architec­tural
details, one notices the
many changes. The use of dorm-ors
of one kind on the east wing,
a design similar to a pyramid in
the center and dormors of a dif­ferent
type on the west gives one
the feeling that three buildings
have been compiled into one. It
could be that the building was
constructed as such to confuse the
students in the School of Archi­tecture,
as there seems to be no
other reason.
If you walk around the build­ing,
you will get the impression
that it is safe from fire hazards.
When the bell rings you see right
away that these fire escapes are
the main modes of travel. How­ever,
the main purpose of these
2—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, March 27, 1959
fire escapes is to support the
buildings, as the frame-work is
of deteriorated and termite-eaten
wooden beams.
One could hardly mention the
word "safe" in connection with this
building. It has been condemned
at one time but with very little
corrective measures for the past
15 years, it has been continually
used. At any rate, the termites
have migrated to safer buildings.
The professors with classrooms
on the third floor have grey hair
at early ages because the floor
bounces up and down as if you
are walking on a tight rope, and
the cracking sounds seem to indi­cate
the third floor just might be
in the basement in short order.
In all seriousness, this building
is probably the most hazardous
building on the API campus. We
students should help our parents
to work toward getting our leg­islature
to remove this threat.
This building, like the Model "T"
is outdated, unsafe, and not de­sirable
to fill the needs of this
modern age.

JOHN T E M P L E GRAVES
. . . Graduation Speaker
B'ham News Writer
Speaks To 300
Winter Graduates
"This class moves into a world
that has gotten ahead of itself,"
columnist John Temple Graves
told 300 winter quarter graduates
at Auburn on March 15.
"You are moving into a world
with more knoW-how than know,"
said Graves. "You can get killed
that v)ky. When I read that first
Russia and now America have
pushed a so-called man-made
satellite into the orbit of the sun,
I marvel at the science, I shudder
at the military menace, but most
I laugh at the monstrosity of call­ing
the thing manmade. A few
extraordinary men of science . .1.
most of them possibly captured
from Germany have achieved
this thing. You and I as average
men have not done this and nev­er
will. We are no more to be
credited than the poor Indian who
saw the first locomotive go by
in the west."
"What's that thjing (zoorjiing
around the sun means most is a
gap between man and his satel­lite,
between man and his science
and between American man and
his understanding of his country
and his methods of American de­mocracy.
Here we are, earth's great place
in earth's great time, and we just
simply are not up to it as indi
viduals."
"Auburn! Sometime home of
the nation's no. one football team!
It isn't enough. Auburn has got
to be home and graduating place
of -number one men and women,-
excellent and ever more excelj-lent
individuals."
"Alabama, and the South! Land
of so-called white supremacy. It
is not enough. Alabama and the
South and this entire natibn have
got to be the land' of human su­premacy."
In a vein continuing to call for
the utmost excellence from the
individual American, Mr. Graves
called on the graduates to believe
in God and remember that only
God can play God.
A Doctor of Laws degree, Hon­oris
Causa, was awarded Presi­dent

Needs Explained
(Continued from page 1)
led in great depletion of the fac­ulty,
especially in the scientific
and technical fields.
Along with increased salaries,
new staff members are of vital
importance. A recent survey by
the Alabama Education Study
Commission found that Auburn
needed 112 additional teachers in
1957. Even more are now needed
because of increased enrollment.
Another critical need listed by
Dr. Mullins is "additional and
modern instructional and research
equipment." Much of the labora­tory
and library equipment is in­adequate
or obsolete. Books and
suplies associated with every
subject are needed. The lack of
the right kind and amount of
equipment for teaching modern-day
engineering was one of the
reasons for the loss of accredita­tion
of ,the departments of mech­anical
and electrical engineering,
iand a substantial increase in the
funds will be necessary to provide
this equipment.
Auburn's important building
needs are not a part of the oper­ating
budget. Funds for instruc­tional
buildings must come from
state sources such as special ap­propriations/
or bond issues. Most
urgently needed are a new Lib­rary,
a chemistry building annex,
new home economics, science,
classroom, a n d physical educa­tion
buildings.

Rare Document
One of t h e most important
documents in early Alabama
history has been found by a
research professor of history
and government at t h e Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
The document is t h e origi­nal
draft of t h e Alabama Con­s
t i t u t i on of 1819. F i n d i n g and
editing t h e document was Dr.
Malcolm McMillan, who prepar­ed
it for the Jan. 1959 edition of
The Alabama Lawyer.
The original draft was reported
to the 1819 constitutional con­vention
in Huntsville by Clement
Comer Clay, chairman of the
Committee of Fifteen, which had
been apointed to write Alabama's
"first constitution.
Consisting of 28 printed pages,
the document is of great signifi­cance
since it differs in many res­pects
from the final constitution.
After debating the original draft,
the convention made many chan­ges.
Dr. McMillan said nearly all
the changes made the final pro­duct
more democratic.
tend the Auburn Conference on
International Affairs should fill
out an application in the Stu­dent
Government Office this
Friday, or at the latest, Monday
afternoon.

A Need For One Large Building
To Replace Temporary Buildings
By TIM BATTLE .
Features Editor
In the shadow of the main library rests a group of man-made
failures which are commonly referred to as the Tempo­rary
Buildings. Built in 1946, these white structures, whose
layout greatly resembles that of a maze, are the objects of
many student curses. With an architectural style that would
not seem out of place in "Tobac­co
Road" setting, these edifices
offer many justifications to stu­dent
complaints.
Perhaps with this negative eye
appeal can be coupled a more
significant area of complaint—
that of physical comfort. On the
hot, sultry days to come, it is a
"pleasant experience" t» walk
across campus to these outlying
buildings, and upon arriving at
your intellectual abode, find it
would have been cooler to remain
outside.
Obviously this "hot-box" ef­fect
is primarily a result of poor
ventilation. The only ventilating
devices to be found in the build­ings
are the windows and the
fans . . . but the windows are at
just the correct height to pro­vide
cross-ventilation only above
the sitting students' heads, and
the fans are so few and of such
relatively small size in compari­son
to the room that a feather
would have a difficult time get­ting
off the floor.
Then, too, because of a low
ceiling height, a student will find
that the hot air doesn't act as
normal hot air should; it stays
down in the working area, mak­ing
the student "sweat the
course" even more.
To further enumerate these
complaints would indeed be pur­poseless;
the number would only
be limited by the number of those
unfortunate souls who registered
for a course, and upon checking
oh location in their schedule
books, found to their dismay the
letters "TB" under the room list­ings.
Perhaps at this point, one might
reasonably ask the question:
"What can be done about this
situation?" To answer this, an
evaluation of the situation must
first be set forth. In the post-war
period about 1946, the onslaught
of the many veterans created a

The biggest challenge
a man has to face is himself"
"Men and businesses are alike in one respect," says
Gerald A. Parsons, 30-year-old marketing and per­sonnel
development specialist. "Their success de­pends
to a great extent on how well they respond to
challenge. And I've found that the biggest challenge
a man has to face on his job is not the competition of
others — but the far more important one of develop­ing
himself to his fullest capabilities.
"During my four years with General Electric,
I've had plenty of opportunity for self-development.
Challenging training assignments at five different
locations within the company have given me a
broader understanding of my career area. In my
present job I have the benefit of working with ex­perts,
both in establishing long-range goals and in
helping to achieve them. I've found that working
toward future potential is vital in the development
pf successful businesses — and successful men."
Young men such as Gerry Parsons are important
to the future of companies like General Electric and
to the growth of America's dynamic, competitive-enterprise
economy. Our nation's progress will de­pend
more and more upon those forward-looking
individuals who continue to develop to their fullest
capabilities during their lifetime.
That is why General Electric provides a climate
for individual progress — with opportunity for in­creasing
knowledge and skills — for all of its em­ployees,
including 30,000 college graduates. For it
is only as individuals meet the challenge of self-development
that there continues to be progress for,
a business, an industry, or a nation.

Our Product — Progress 4—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, March 27, 1959
Our generation was born in the midst of
depression. Our earliest memories are
threaded with recollections of second-hand
accounts of the most destructive war man
has ever endured. We grew up with the
Cold War and matured with the Korean
conflict. We are the contemporaries of cri­sis
and are likely to remain so.
With the attention of our elders focused
for so long on communism, segregation, in­flation
or any of a dozen other major is­sues,
smaller sores of our society have
gone unattended. These have quietly fes­tered
until now they have become as dan­gerous
as any crisis the Soviets have been
able to manufacture. We are coming face
to face with such a crisis in our educational
systems.
From kindergarten to graduate school,
public education has been traditionally
handicapped by shortages of funds, facili­ties
and teachers. A few states have for-seen
the harmful results of continued neg­lect
and reversed the worsening plight of
their schools. Unfortunately, Alabama can­not
be included among those so enlighten­ed.
In fact, we are one of the worst!
As one of our former governors put it,
"The situation was critical when I was in
the first grade." This is the statement of
one man but it would seem to sum up the
attitude of our past legislators who, in turn,
were reflecting the will of the voting ma­jority.
The conception of the three "r's"
and the little red schoolhouse which has
dominated the attitudes of our voters is
sheer nostalgic nonsense.
Education and its many sub-divisions
calls for highly trained men and women.
It demands specialized equipment for dem­onstration.
It requires classrooms and lib­raries.
It takes money.
Auburn is an excellent example of how
much money. A pamphlet published by the
Auburn Alumni Association outlines the
needs of this university in stark relief
and contrasts the funds we are now us­ing
to operate against the amount needed.
The situations which we as students are
coping with every day are reduced to the
common denominator of the dollar. T h is
book, for all its value in clarifying our fi­nancial
situation at a glance, is lacking in
some respects.
It's one thing to read that Auburn needs
102 teachers to take care of the students
now enrolled. The message is much clearer
somehow when we are placed in a math
class with 80 students where 30 would be
almost too many. We know also that a
teacher is much more than a man with a
degree and a reasonably high IQ. He's in­teresting,
seemingly imparting knowledge
without effort. He's interested, concerned
with the progress of his students. He's hard
to find—and keep—with the salaries he's
offered.
We may not know the dollar value of
the additional classroom space needed here
but hours in our thirteen year-old "tempo­rary
buildings" have taught us that the
need is great. All of us can see that the an­tiquated
firetraps should have long since
been torn down.
The pamphlet tells us that we need about
three and one-half million dollars more in
order to operate and decently instruct the
number of persons registered here now.
We can believe this for we've seen how
quickly two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, contributed by our alumni, was
absorbed by the school of engineering.
Not a quarter goes by but that we are
to schedule courses required by our curri-culums
because the classes are filled—to
overflowing. In our haste to get through
college most of us would be willing to ac­cept
diluted instruction or anything else
that would send us on our way with mini­mum
delay. Sooner or later we'll get it be­cause
nothing else will be available. Still
later, the state of Alabama will be run by
half-baked incompetents.
Our voters have invested heavily in our
roads. We have the most efficient docks
system in the world. The tax revenue of
the state is spread over a hundred activi­ties.
The time has come when a larger in­vestment
in its future must be undertaken.
In order to progress, Alabama must train
its men and women as thoroughly as pos­sible.
When the next session of the legislature
is begun the value of education as a whole
will be evaluated in terms of dollars. This
is only the means to an end.
People are education's product, t h e ir
knowledgeability our measure of quality,
Both are of inestimable value, yet we know
in our hearts and so do the voters that if
a value must be set, the present appropria­tions
to Auburn are sadly lacking. They
can change it. We can only hope.

Under the circumstances, it appears that

emergence of a suitable number of stu­dents

An excess of capable Auburnites disre­gard

To The Frats
Drinking, as a tool of fraternity rush, can
not be limited by legislation. We are firmly
convinced that the results of a definite law,
imposed by IFC on its membership, would
not be rules breaking and an impractical
system of un-justifiable fines.
We cite, for example, the ineffectiveness
of "dirty rush" rules. Last fall, heavy fines
were imposed on several fraternities for
rushing during unauthorized periods. These
groups were not the only offenders by any
means, yet they were the only ones caught
and they consequently received the brunt
of blind justice.
This fact does not in any way reflect an
unwillingness by IFC to enforce its laws,
but rather, demonstrates the impossibility
of keeping tabs on everyone. Everyone pos­sesses
the natural homo sapien desire to go
as far as possible inside the law and if he
thinks he can get away with it, outside the
law.
Consequently, we would like to see every
fraternity on this campus refrain from us­ing
beer to woo first quarter freshmen, not
through an IFC law, but by making an
individual, fraternal resolution limiting
themselves.
This, a system of honor, can decrease
the financial burden of rush and the
chances of property damage and loss of
life during rush. The moral responsibility
of good conduct will be in less danger of
failure.
But it is most important because it will
eliminate the temptation and excitement
of breaking rules. With no "Big Brother"
watching, a man has only his personal hon­or
and self-respect to keep him in line. If
he IS a man, that should be enough.-ROLL

Another Tale Explains
"War Eagle's" Origination
In the past, there have been numerous attempts to
explain the origination of Auburn's famed "War Eagle"
battle-cry. The latest:
Back during our Civil War, three youngsters signed up for service
under their cherished "stars and bars." Life-long friends, these fel­lows
had just completed two years of. study at the East Alabama Male
College (located in the little village called Auburn). From all indica­tions,
they loved that school and its one-horse college town less only
to General Lee and a young flag which symbolized their way of life.
These staunch a n d optimistic
Rebs tracked their way across
Georgia, up through North Caro­lina
and on to war-torn Virginia.
They refused to serve in the home
state's militia, demanding to fight
under the "Grey Fox" himself,
General Lee. When this weary
threesome finally made contact
with the 79th Volunteer Brigade,
an infantry wing attached to the
Army of Northern Virginia, the
bloody Battle of the Wilderness
was just beginning. These green
Alabamians received an indoc­trination
to fire quickly, far tod
quickly, and at the wrong place
to learn warfare.
In action for four days without
sleep, these young soldiers slug­ged
it out with t h e blue-clad
Army of the Potomac. Often at
the point of physical and mental
exhaustion, they firmly stood their
ground in true Southern tradition.
But for William and Cal, the dis­tant
plains of east Alabama would
never again unfold far over the
sunlit horizon. Their war would
soon be over.
With Northern shells tearing
away at the v e r y roots around
them, the home-staters and three
Alabamians composing the Six­teenth
Virginia Rifle Platoon stood
fast. It was too gigantic an on­slaught.
Shell after shell con­nected.
Eugene looked to his left,
then behind him. Half the platoon
was gone. "Cal's got in the head!
That blast hit William! O Lord,
help us!"
A volley of shrapnel suddenly
slammed into Eugene's leg and
chest, knocking him to the ground
unconcious. Soon the Yankee de­tachment
mopped up, leaving the
three comrades for dead on a field
far away from home and loved
ones.
Ironically, the able-bodied Eu­gene
survived. Arising from weak­ened
knees, everything around him
appeared bare. The barrage had
torn away all vegetation and had
taken the lives of every soldier
within the area. "Wait, there's a
sound," the dazed Southerner
cried. "Someone lives."
No one can say how a baby
eagle survived the effects of such
overwhelming Yankee firepower.
With wing broken and head bleed­ing,
the bird nestled in Eugene's
trembling hands.
When a wandering Confederate
calvary unit spotted Eugene and
carried him to safety, the young
eagle remained in the tattered
soldier's possession. His pet this
bird would be for the rest of its
feathered days—a remnant of
tragedy.
Several years after Appmattox,
the crippled veteran returned to
Auburn, where the old E.A.M.C.
was now a state-supported Ala­bama,
Agricultural and Mechani­cal
College. Eugene acquired a
faculty position, where he spent
the remainder of his 74 years.
Anvre, as its master named his
battle companion, paying tribute
first to the Army of Northern
Virginia and then to R. E. Lee,
was now a healthy, full-grown,
tame eagle. Eugene often brought
the bird to his Broun Hall history
classes, where both fowl and mas­ter
came to be loved by Auburn
students.
So in 1892, when Alabama A&M
fielded its first football squad,
Eugene and Anvre were on the
sideline in Atlanta, cheering the
Auburn team on. After a first half
deadlock, the Plainsmen caught
fire. As a Tiger halfback tallied
the go-ahead touchdown, that
great bird, almost in human com­passion,
spread out its majestic
wings and sounded a shreik that
only'birds can make. Then the
aged, eagle toppled dead to the
Piedmont Park turf.
Remembering Professor Eu­gene's
tale regarding the history'
of. their beloved Anvre, Auburn's
victorious football squad buried
the eagle following the game.
"Anvre was a real War Eagle,"
stated the watery-eyed captain.
"The rest of this season we'll win
for him, and War Eagle will
henceforth be our personal battle-cry!"
But it didn't just last for the
remainder of the '92 season. Anvre
and what he stood for have long
been forgotten. But the spirit those
ancient Tiger athletes acquired
from adopting a slogan out of re­spect
to a dead eagle, spirit they
passed on from year to year, will
live as long as America is blessed
with.an Auburn.

A college professor bought a
parrot from the pet shop only to
learn that it cursed every time it
said anything. He put up with it
as long as he could but finally
one day he lost his patience.
"If I ever hear you swear again,
I'll wring your neck."
A few minutes later he remark­ed
casually that it was a fine
day. Where upon the parrot said,
"It's a hell of a fine day." The
professor immediately took the
parrot by the head and spun him
around until he was almost dead.
"Now then," he said, "it's a fine
day today, isn't it?"
"Fine day," sputtered the par­rot,
"where the hell were you
when the cyclone struck?"

, plight:
Auburn sits today in the middle
of a thickening cloud of urgency.
Uncomfortable and pressing, this
cloud is a part of the general cli­mate
of problems brought about
by the deficient state oi the pres­ent
and future Auburn.
Auburn is in a precarious posi­tion.
Dedicated to the principal
of education for the public and
so committed in idea and prac­tice,
Auburn is in the throes of
adjusting to a necessarily de­manding
situation without pro­per
means to adjust. If it may
look with pride and satisfaction
at the past and at the jobs be­ing
done so admirably by its staff,
Auburn must look somewhat
more questionably at what it
presently has to offer, and even
more apprehensively at what the
rapidly advancing future pro­mises
to bring.

Why Not Fun
At Formals?
I'd like to know what is wrong
with people, not only people in
general, but you. Not too long ago
an article was written in this
paper concerning formal dances.
The article implied that this sort
of entertainment
is boring. This
was not the first
time that I had
heard words to
that effect. But,
why? A dance
should be fun.
I don't know,
but I have been
told, that years
ago when there
were no TV's,
rockets, etc., people still had fun.
What did they do, and how did
they enjoy it?
Are we only spoiled children?
We must be, if the situation comes
to a point where we can't enjoy a
formal dance. Or, are we just too
lazy to want to bother with dress­ing
and decorating for the affair?
Or, maybe we are just getting too
old to dance.
I think that before we become
so completely unhappy that we
are miserable in our boredom, we
had better take a glance around
and see all the wonderful and ex­citing
things .that there are to do..
I know a girl who could enter a
dull situation and make it lively
with just talk. It just takes a little
originality, a little ingenuity, a
little thinking. Why, I'll bet that
with just some originality, ingenu­ity,
thought, one could make even
a formal dance a pleasure again.

sons currently enrolled in insti­tutions
of higher learning will
double by 1970. This means that
Auburn's classrooms, already
over-crowded, must somehow ac­commodate
twice as many stu­dents.
This means that Auburn's
instructors, already overworked,
must somehow arrange to meet
the" demands.
Reasonable and adequate ad­justments
will be impossible with
Auburn's present physical and
personnel facilities. Our class­rooms
will hold only so many. We
cannot crowd 60 future students
into a room in the temporary
buildings when 30 people already
shiver there in winter, roast in
summer, and strain their eyes in
any season. We can not double
the number of students in the
physics labs when they practically
have to stand in line now to work
experiments.
We can not expect Auburn's in­structors
to do more. The Com­mittee
on Higher Education for
the Alabama Education Commis­sion
recommended an increase of
112 instructors for the years 1957
and 1958. Here in 1959, Auburn
is asking for only 102 new facul­ty
members.
Auburn will be fortunate to at­tract
102 new faculty members
under current circumstances.
What this institution can offer a
prospective instructor is almost
tragic—26 per cent more teaching
load, a salary of $1,000 to $3,000

Less is more, Mies van der Rohe has said in de­fense
of his bold and unornamented architecture.
Architect of New York's new and lauded Seagram ^ ^ ^
Building, Mies has sound and proven arguments in his favor. He
involves himself with esthetics, with technology, with function and

Universal-minded as he may be, Mies would hasten, most certainly,
to restrict his words from universal application, to point them primarily
in the direction of architecture.

space and equipment, an
unedifying public, and the op­portunity
to be something of a
crusader.
How do these deficiences at
Auburn affect us, the student
body? First, it costs us adequacy
of education. We get less and less
individual attention from instruc­tors,
more and more of the mass
type edcation. We get taught in
labs where equipment is a decade
down the road to obsolescence
and where instructors—granted
no sabbaticals, no exchange pro­grams,
no fringe benefits at all—
are in about the same shape. We
get pushed around by the diffi­culties
and irregularities of reg­istration,
often remaining here for
additional quarters at needless
expense because necessary cours­es
can not be taught in proper
sequence.
In short, the future Auburn
student might easily spend more
time, money, and effort for an
inferior education. This is highly
critical. In the realization that
the very security of our nation
depends upon the adequacy of
its educational systems and in the
knowledge that the real race
against democracy's foes is yet
to come, Auburn stands with in­stitutions
and educators through­out
the nation to call for appro­bation
and active suport in the
current and mounting crises.

Mies would not, for example,
expect his maxim to be pertinent
to the Auburn educational scene.
Less is sad, he might say, or
less is deficiency, less is ridicu­lous,
or the like—certainly not
less is more except in cases where
more involved insufficiencies, in­feriorities.
Less is very very often not
more. Mies obviously plays with
a paradox when he makes his
statement. Less ability on a foot­ball
team does not result in more
wins. Less public esteem for the
teaching profession does not pro­duce
more teachers. Less appro­priations
does not result in more
adequate education. In short, less
money produces only more defi­ciency
where Auburn is con­cerned.
And Auburn is getting
less money.
To understate things, the sit­uation
is critical. At present, Au­burn
must cope with exacting
problems that promise to multi­ply
quickly. It must have more
buildings and better equipped

What the Public Must Know
To Save Higher Learning
Our whole democratic system is built upon the
assumption that the people at large will understand
and share the objectives of education. This assump­tion
is directed toward you, Mr. and Mrs. Auburn Parent. That the
people, you included, have in some measure understood them is sug­gested
by the vital nature of education's growth in the past. But the
decades ahead offer an unexampled challenge to public understand­ing.
The American people will face a problem of unprecedented di­mensions
in financing all levels of education. The crowding in our
schools and colleges will produce stresses and strains.of every variety.
And education has become so central to our national life that it may
easily become the subject of public controversy.
How then can you meet this
teachers. It must have more en­richments
programs, more diver­sified
courses, more specialized
courses, more and better courses
in general. When conservative es­timates
predict that twice as
many persons will be in college
in 1970 as there are in college at
present, Auburn's necessities be­come
quite apparent. Auburn can
hardly offer adequacy in many
fields with its current facilities.
To Jim Foy, API's director of
studerif affairs, Auburn is now
"doing a man's job with a child's
toy." What the ensuing years will
bring need hardly be left to spec­ulation.

The hue and cry for better in­stitutions
of higher learning
everywhere is accompanied by
educators' places for more and
active support of their programs.
At Auburn, it is hoped that coop­eration
from the legislature and
from alumni will result in solu­tions
to some of its problems. At
Auburn, aspirations have never
been higher, determination never
keener. At Auburn, the crusade
is on.
unexampled challenge to public
understanding? Do y o u under­stand
that our kind of society de­mands
a maximum development
of individual potentiality? The
very fact that so many bright
young men and women do not go
on to college in itself suggests
that t h e importance of higher
education is not fully understood.
Do you realize that higher edu­cation
costs money? This sounds
rather foolish to ask, but there are
millions of Americans who be­lieve
profoundly in higher educa­tion
but do not seem prepared to
pay for it.
Do you know the differences be­tween
good and bad college edu­cation?
The fact that such differ­ences
are not immediately appar­ent
to the layman constitutes one
of the great handicaps in obtain­ing
adequate support for any col­lege
program. Everyone knows the
difference between a good road
and a bad one, but the difference
between a bad education and a
good one is not entirely clear to
him.
Could you identify the kinds
of freedom which the college and
university must have if they are
to survive? If Americans value
their colleges and universities—
and enrollment figures suggest
that they value them exceedingly
—then they had better compre­hend
the conditions of survival of.
those institutions. Among the con­ditions
of survival is freedom.
An informed public is basic to
the whole task of strengthening
our colleges and universities. In
the years ahead our colleges and
universities will be financed from
many sources, each source play­ing
its role in a healthy system of
higher education. You, as Auburn
parents, evidently have a profound
belief in higher education. If you
supplement this belief with an
understanding of what the colleges
and universities are about, with
an understanding of. the condi­tions
of survival for these insti­tutions,
higher education will gain
strength. If you do not understand
whatfthey are about,, and are not
willinfe to learn, nothing can save
them.
Antiquated Library Too Small For Growing University
By BOB MONTGOMERY
The most pressing and most important need at A u b u r n is
t h a t of a n ew l i b r a r y . Something has to b e done. Now!
The facilities are insufficient. We a r e sadly lacking in
t h e number of books and periodicals we have. However, there
is not e v e n room for w h a t we do have. Books a r e p i l ed every­where.
It is necessai-y to use the ; n these forementioned gaps, we
temporary buildings as storage
v a u l t s for t h e periodicals and
newspapers on h a n d . Even so, we
have only 250.000 volumes i n t he
l i b r a r y and need at least 500,000
to meet the basic requirements of
a u n i v e r s i t y of A u b u r n ' s size. B e ­cause
of the gross lack of space,
i t is impossible to locate many of
the books on hand. They are lost
i n t h e mass of scrambled m a t e r i a l.
At the present time we are
t r y i n g to obtain the books and
periodicals we were unable to
purchase during the depression
years. This, of course, takes
great amounts of money since
the price of old books and per­iodicals
is so high. T h i s price is
steadily c l i m b i n g and t he longer
we have to w a i t , the higher it
w i l l be. In some cases it w i ll
probably be impossible to o b ­t
a i n these missing links if we
w a i t much longer.
At the same t i m e we a re f i l l i ng
have to keep up with present sig­nificant
works and maintain sub­scriptions
to the important period­icals.
In the present financial state
it is impossible to accomplish
both. More money is needed im­mediately.
The question t h en
arises of where we are to put this
inflowing material. We have no
space, yet we can't afford not to
buy them. This is a very definite
dilemma.
Under present conditions it is
impossible for faculty members to
do research satisfactorily. There
are only a limited number of desks
for this in the library and these
should, and do, go to graduate
students. However, the graduate
students do not have the necessary
material at hand to complete their
work. Some of. them have to bor­row
up to 80 per cent of their
material t h r o u g h inter-library
lending, especially, material for
theses research.
Undergraduate material is
f a i r l y adequate, but i t is hard
to get to and use because of t he
demand for it. There are not
s u f f i c i e n t copies of many books
and some of the material dis­appears,
either stolen or c l i p p e d.
This, of course, puts a restric­t
i o n on the use and f u r t h er
hinders research work. Because
of the maltreatment and dis­appearance
of books, money has
to be taken to replace these
articles.
There is also the p r o b l em of
r u n n i n g the l i b r a r y . The s t a f f is
b a d l y overworked because of t he
small number on i t . There just
i s n ' t any money to h i r e more help.
The staff that we have now is
doing a r e m a r k a b l e j o b w i t h what
i t has. I n fact, i f they were not
so devoted to t h e i r work, there
w o u l d be complete chaos.
To correct the present situation,
in addition to a new building, we
need more microfilm projectors,
more and better basic materials,
scholarly journals, more staff, and
new rooms to facilitate research
and increase general interest in
the library. In order to get de­partmental
views on the situation,
several faculty members were in­t

be decided. Auburn's library has
never been treated as a research
library for history. Few provisions
have been made to correct this
situation. It is impossible to keep
up with just the more important
books published each year on the
present budget, and microfilm is
not feasible on the undergraduate
level. It is virtually impossible to
replace the depression-lost books.
The efficiency of t h e l i b r a ry

accomplishes w i t h their limited

one to page the books, t h a t is,
w i t h t h e s p e c i f i c j o b o f locating
books in t h e i r stacks. If money
is obtained f o r a new b u i l d i n g,
w i t h o u t additional staff the s i t ­uation
would be worse. The
l i b r a r y is low by local stand­ards,
incredible by national
standards.
People must realize that the
library and its use is an integral
part of college. Under present
conditions, if the library functions
were expanded, the system would
break down. Inquiring minds need
books to satisfy them. Something
must be done!
Dr. W. R. Patrick and Dr. N. A.
Brittin give the situation in the
English department.
Because of t h e lack of mat­e
r i a l s and space, we have had
to greatly reduce t h e number of
assigned English papers in t he
undergraduate school. Students
are greatly l i m i t e d in graduate
w o r k on t h e i r master's theses.
No student has been able to
w r i t e on a n y t o p i c w i t h o u t bor­r
o w i n g much of his material,
sometimes up to 80 per cent of
i t , through i n t e r l i b r a r y loans.
T h i s also l i m i t s the range of
topics available to t h e student.
Some of t h e students go to
Montgomery; some, to Emory;
some, to Alabama.
The English department needs
a minimum of $10,000 per year
to maintain just an adequate lib­rary.
They are presently allotted
only $1,000 per year for books.

in the accreditation of any school.

serious demand for classroom
space. To alleviate this demand,
the administration provided funds
for the construction of the pres­ent
Temporary buildings. In ac­tuality,
they were meant to be
"temporary," but long ago this
word ceased to apply to their
time status.
The original intent of replac­ing
the buildings with a single
larger building is still present,
but the only means of accom­plishing
this goal is through in­creased
support from state, in­dustrial,
and individual sources.
Only by these means of support

more it will cost to correct.
Branch Libraries
Dr. E. I. Brown, assistant Dean
of Engineering, was interviewed to
get the facts about the engineer­ing
library. Engineering is ex­tremely
. limited because of the
great changes which are occur­ring
in science. Articles published
a few years ago are now out of
date. As a result of. this the best
means of keeping informed is
through periodicals. Previously
there was the problem of a limited
budget in periodicals and diffi­culty
in keeping books up-to-date.
Because of this, $15,000 from the
recent emergency fund drive was
made available to improve t h e
situation.
After a detailed study was be­gun,
it was found that there was
a vast shortage in reference books
and references in texts. An order
of roughly 100 volumes has been
placed to help correct this, but
the library is still not in good
shape. Also from this study it was
found that there was a great num­ber
of gaps in material in period­icals
and technical journals. It
will cost from $5,000-$10,000 to
correct this.
There is enough money in the
emergency fund to subscribe to
many of the current periodicals
for the next two to three years.
So, for the next three years we
should have good coverage. How­ever,
after the three years it will
take additional funds to maintain
the subscriptions. By 1^61 most of
the present books will probably
be obsolete. Until that time the
library w i l l compare favorably
with other colleges' holdings.
The engineering branch library
has been expanded, new equip­ment,
new stacks, and an extra
room have been added. However,
there is still a n e e d for more
space. Sometimes the material is
unaccessible. The main difficulty
though is to find a place where a
student can keep reference books
and his other materials. Something
in the order of cubicles is needed.
At present, the reference books
have to be checked in and out
each time, and this is very time
consuming.
This local library is invaluable
as an instructional aid, but it will
take approximately $3,000-$5,000
each year in addition to present
funds to maintain the standards
of the library.

Donald L. Myers, B.S. in Civil Engineer­ing.
University of Maryland, '54, is typi­cal
of many young college graduates in
the Bell Telephone Companies. Don man­ages
test center operations at the Arling­ton,
Virginia, office of The Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Company. He
supervises 9 people.
"We maintain equipment and facilities
records on the 61,000 telephones served
by this office and are responsible for han­dling
customer trouble reports and dis­patching
repairmen," Don explains. "But
one of our most important jobs is locat­ing
potential trouble conditions before
our customers' service is affected.
"In my previous assignment I was in
charge of the group responsible for the
maintenance of switching equipment at
suburban McLean, Virginia. This was a
smaller office serving 6000 telephones."
Don stepped into these supervisory
positions after less than 3 years of actual
telephone experience. (He has sand­wiched
a two-year military hitch into his
record since joining the company in
1954.) Previously, while on the Plant
Engineering staff, he planned circuits be­tween
telephone exchanges and expansion
of facilities to meet future growth. He
also studied the highly complicated cir­cuitry
of central office switching equip­ment
and i ts memory and routing
functions.
Where does he go from here? It de­pends
mostly on Don. But one thing looks
sure: continuous growth in the industry
will create advancement opportunities

Everyone—including personalities, groups and even schools—
have their needs and problems, but one who knows the Auburn
situation would think that this campus is made up wholly of
such things.- . *.
One of the largest needs of this campus is a building that
would contain a basketball court and reasonable—mind you,
reasonable I say—seating capacity for the many Auburnites that
have tried to attend games previously. A building of this nature
could house all physical education facilities for the men's and
women's P.E. Department.
To most athletic supporters of the Auburn Tigers, this would
be the type building desired, but to the Auburn athletic depart­ment
and officials concerned with the proposed building a bigger
and more usable structure is needed.
Their argument is the most logical of any.
A multi-purpose building is their argument. A building which
may be used for athletic events, graduation ceremonies, physical
education facilities, concerts,, any type student gatherings'neces­sary
to the campus. Questionnaires have been distributed to the
school and department heads on the campus inquiring as to uses
they would need the building for. The replies have been num­erous
and the possibilities are equally so.
President Draughon has appointed a committee to look into
the requirements of such a building. Jeff Beard, athletic director,
has been named chairman. The committee has mailed question­naires
to all schools who have built such multi-purpose structures
in the last several years. In this questionnaire cjuestions will
be answered as to the uses, advantages and disadvantages of
their buildings. This questionnaire will help the committee
decide the amount of money to be appropriated and answer all
. .questions, w.hiqh may arise .as to the construction of the Auburn
building. , ...
This multi-purpose structure wil be the most used building
on the campus if it is erected and would certainly be the most
outstanding asset to the API campus.
Two and one-fourth million dollars is the appropriated re­quest
for the building which will hold from 8,500 to 10,000 people
—a far cry from the 2,500 the Sports Arena now seats.
If this building gets past the planning stages it will replace
two World War II army surplus hangars which are now being
used as the Sports Arena and Student Activities Building.
MONEY is the big factor in the plans of this building. Over
two million dollars is a lot of money, but the entire state will
gain by the construction of this project.
Many an Auburnite's dream will come true if the building is
constructed. It may not be far away when you can attend an
Auburn basketball game and not be asked to move to the right
three inches, and all graduates parents may attend graduation
ceremonies and not have to sit out in the car for a couple of
hours while their son or daughter receives his or her diploma.
Tigers'Play Today
Against Georgia
Auburn's defending South­eastern
Conference champions
of the baseball diamond are
having a little difficulty .in get­ting
together a winning combi­nation
thus far this season. The
baseballing Tigers face the
University' of Georgia • today and
tomorrow in Athens and then
trevel to Troy to meet the Troy
State Red Wave in what might
be a hectic weekend for the
. Plainsmen.
Georgia, always a tough team
to beat on the baseball diamond
seems to be flourishing through
a rather good season so far. The
Bulldogs are loaded with long
hitters and the one-bagger hit­ters
have been doing real well
for themselves. The Georgia
; .baseball- coach has some terri-ficly
strong hitters who can be
counted on quite consistently.
The Bulldogs are loaded with
mound strength too, as Woods
and Kilpatrick are going at a
no-loss streak now. The at-home
situation the Georgians
have, will be a great asset to
their try at upending the de­fending
champs.
Gametime in Athens is 2:00
arid the Tigers will be going
i after their -first SEC win.
Coming back into the State
of Alabama, tke batmen will
then journey to Troy on March
31 for a single game there.
The Troy Staters have what
could be the best small college
baseball team in the state. Pos­sessing
a good pitching staff
. and average hitters, these dia­mond
dusters will give the Tig­ers
something to think about on
the way home from Athens.
The'ill-fated Tigers for look­ing
for win No. 1 and it could
be in the stars for the battling
Tigers to forge ahead in this
weekend skirmish.

COACH ERSKINE RUSSELL is facing one of the toughest
rebuilding jobs in the south. In his first year—1959—at the helm
of the baseballing Tigers, he must rebuild from a group of young
inexperienced sophomores and a very few returning lettermen a
team that is able to stand up under the strains of following the
conference winner of a year ago. "Erk" as the sporting southeast
knows him is one of the most qualified men in the coaching
business and he well knows that Tiger hopes lay in his lap. Sea­soning
and experience are qualifications needed for coaches
also, and Russell and the Tigers aim to please. •
GRADUATION INVITATIONS
Graduation invitations will be

Kick Off New Auburn Track Season
Track Meet Slated At G'ville
For Many Southern Tracksters
By JOHN WALLACE
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach Wilbur Hutsell was
Florida-bound today as the Au­burn
track squad headed for
the Florida Relays to kick the
lid off a new cinder season.
Tomorrow's relays open a
schedule which includes four
dual meets; Georgia at Athens,
April 11; Alabama in Auburn,
April 18; Florida at Gainesville,
April 25, and Georgia Tech in
Auburn, May 2., and the SEC
championships May 15-16. The
SEC championships held in Bir­mingham
for many years have
been moved to Baton Rouge,
La. Auburn is also expected to
enter the Georgia AAU at At­lanta
on May 31.
Fans will be able to get a
look at.the top high-school tal­ent
in the annual Alabama
High School Championships
held in Cliff Hare Stadium on
May 23.
Javelin thrower Hindman
Wall, Auburn's only 1958 SEC
champion, is gone via the grad­uation
route.
Back from the 1958 squad are
sprinters and middle-distance
men Tommy Waldrip, Tom
Stull, and Paul Krebs; distance
runners Paul Hall and Mavern
Parker; broad jumper Tommy
Hollingsworth; and pole vault-ers
Jerry Hutchinson and Gene
Carter.
The team is greatly strength­ened
by several outstanding
graduates from a fine freshman
squad of a year ago. The new
men are sprinter Benny Over-street,
sprinter Robert Webb,
sprinter Jimmy Morrow, sprin­ter
Bart Manous, high jumper
Joe Leichtnam, sprinter Gary
Byrd, and weightman Ken Rice.
Heading the list of newcomers
is Richard Crane, a weightman
who already has the school rec­ord
in the shot put. Crane set
the mark with a throw of 53
feet 6 inches in an indoor meet
in Montgomery this February
breaking a seven year old rec­ord
of 52 feet, 10 inches held by
Jim Dillon.
Freshmen will compete in
every Auburn meet during the
season except in the dual meet
with Alabama. The complete
schedule is as follows:
March 28—Florida Relays at
Gainesville, Fla.
April 11—Georgia at Athens.
April 18—Alabama in Auburn.
April 25—Florida at Gaines­ville,
Fla.
May 2—Georgia Tech in Au­burn.

Coach Anthony "Sonny" Dra-goin,
starting his first season as
golf coach, stepped off in fine
fashion as his Tiger linksters
bettered Vanderbilt 5Vz to 3V2
last Saturday at the Saugahat-chee
Country Club.
Rain continually threatened
to halt the match and after
completing nine holes the re­maining
nine holes were can­celled
because of inclimate
weather. The Auburn par break­ers
were ahead at this point,
thereby picking up their first
SEC victory.

By WAYNE RINGER . . . Asst. Sports Editor
A few decades ago a famous newspaper editor made the r e ­mark
"Go West young man, go West." Evidently the Auburn
baseball team wishes they had gone in some direction besides
south. The Tigers completed their southern holidays tour with
a record of no wins, against four defeats.
It seems that streaks in sports have become a fad around the
Loveliest Village of the Plains. But this is a better ball club
than the record shows, and no team in the Southeastern Con­ference
lost as much in terms of baseball material as Auburn did
last year. Missing from the Plainsmen roster this season are
catcher, Pat Duke; pitcher, Red Roberts; second baseman, Jack
Crouch; outfielders, Shot Johnston, L. F. Lanier, Tommy Lorino
and Jimmy Laster.
Five of these boys are playing professional ball, so this shows
clearly some of the reasons Auburn had such a great team last
year, when the Tigers won the SEC crown. Still with such a
loss this year's team of Coach Erskine Russell has a tremendous
amount of. potential.
The trip south to Spring Hill and Florida State wasn't such a
nice vacation after all. The Auburn players stayed in some
obsolete barracks while playing Spring Hill, then came the
Sunshine State which could offer only rain and cold weather.
In a way Auburn came out of Florida with the feeling of being
glad the vacation was over.
Today Auburn invades Athens, the home of the Georgia Bull­dogs,
with the thought in mind of taking up in the SEC where
they left off last year. Everything is looking up for the Auburn­ites
. . . the pitching has shown steady improvement, in the
last week, the team fielding is up to par, and the hitting de­partment
seems to be stronger.
A few days ago the Auburn baseball team was taking batting
practice with Coach Russell doing the pitching. A batsman
lined a shot straight back through the middle barely missing
Russell. Catcher Joe Woods calmly remarked that those kind of
shots would put curls in the hair of the near bald headed Russell.
Maybe this is all that Auburn needs . . . a curl in the hair.

AUBURN OPPONENTS HAVE DUAL PROBLEM
TO COPE WITH AS LASTERS, FORETS PREVAIL
By JOHN WALLACE
Plainsman Sports Writer
Football players, or any ath­letes
in general, gain particu­lar
attention if they are in any
way related to one another. This
holds true on the Auburn cam­pus
as it does elsewhere.
Whereas this added publicity
may be a boor to a budding ca­reer,
it could easily be the
boom that ends one. Living
down or up to an older brother
is often harder than making a
name for oneself.
Now take Bobby Foret and
Larry Laster for example. The
names sound familiar, but then
shouldn't that be Teddy and
Jimmy?
By now most people know
the Foret brothers, but the Las-ters
should come as a surprise.
Jimmy, a sterling half-back on
last year's football team who is
returning this 'fall, has a kid
brother who could pass as a
twin. Suited out they even play
alike, hard, fast. The only dif­ference
is that Larry fills the
fullback position. A mid-term
freshman, the younger Laster
made quite a name in Georgia
prep circles, and should prove
to be a fine college performer.
For Bobby Foret the work
has been started. Brother Ted­dy,
a massive 245-pound tackle,
has left his mark in Auburn
football. Bobby, an end, is
somewhat lighter, and has to
make up in finesse what he
lacks in size.
An outstanding freshman end
Bobby started for the Oranges
in the annual A-Day game this
month. This pair could conceiv­ably
play beside each other this
fall. Bobby has shown a lot of
improvement this spring and
has the drive and determination
to take him to the top.
If the performance of an old­er
brother is any indication,
Auburn has a couple of All-
Americans in line this fall. Ken
Wilson and Carl Smith are in
line to take over where Jerry
and Zeke left off.
Just goes to show, it's all in
the family.

ONCE AGAIN SPRING has sprung and this means that the
girls will be going at it before long in Intramural Softball. This
is one of the brighter parts of the Intramural program. The
games will be played on the freshman football field and all of
the boys are invited to come out and see the female population in
action.
