Recruiting Drive
For Engineering
School Begun
Dean of Engineering, Dr. Fred
H.Pumphrey, who has been try­ing
to find instructors for the
mechanical and electrical engi
neering courses, has found one
.for the mechanical Engineering
Department. This man, whose
name has not been disclosed at
present, has a doctor's degree.
Several other men who lack
the training of this new instruc­tor,
have been, contacted in an­ticipation
that they may come to
Auburn for the Fall term. Dr.
Pumphre3r is currently consider­ing
several other instructors, but
has met no success as of now.
Because of his failure to se­cure
qualified personnel for these
positions, the Dean has altered
his former decision to hire nine
men to that of a scant three or
four.
As is well-known, the factor
causing this action is the consid­erable
absence of funds which
was a cause of the disaccredita-tion
of the two engineering cour­ses
as related above. When those
cpurses lost accreditation, the
plan was formulated to raise a to­tal
of '$250,000 by method of. an
emergency fund. Thus far the
goal has not been- reached.
Industries have made contri­butions,
but the alumni have not
contributed as expected. Accord­ing
to Pumphrey the department
actually needs a $15,000,000 build­ing
program in order to strength­en
the courses. ~ •

Union Snack Bar And
Cafeteria To Close On
Fridays From 1 To 5
In order to keep the snack bar
and cafeteria up to the standards
of cleanliness the Foods depart­ment
deems necessary they will
not be open on Fridays from 1 to
5 p.m. This is done for the wel­fare
of the patrons and therefore
the dept.'asks the cooperation of
.students1 who use these facilities.
This time was decided in a
meeting of the Food Dept. and
Building & Grounds Dept. It
seemed the best time for the ma­jority
of the patrons. If. this time
does not work out it will be
changed later, however.
MISS FLOWER HUJER appears tomorrow night in the Union
Ballroom as the star "of the "Dance Fair." Sponsored by .the Lecture
and-Concert committee, the: program will_ be presented free of
Charge at 8:15. ; ' ' '* - •

On Apartments
An apparent low bid of $1,848,000 was submitted, week
before last by a Mississippi contractor for the construction of
the 240 unit married students apartment project. It is hoped
that the actual work will get underway within a month after
the contract is awarded.
Of eight bids received, the $1,-
848,000 figure submitted by G. E.
Bass and Company of Jackson­ville,-
was'lowest with second
lowest coming from the Jordan
Company of Columbus, Ga., who
proposed to do the work for $1,-
888,902. The highest bid, $2,243,-
920 was tendered by a Tuscaloosa
firm.
The bids are presently being
studied prior to the awarding of
the contract by the Board of
Trustees who are expected -to
meet sometime this week to give
the final decision.
Even as the lowest bid, the
Bass Company's proposal was
529,000 higher than the optimism
estimate figures by college of­ficials
and architects.
The project will include 19 two-story
concrete block buildings, a
single-story laundry building, and
a project manager's office and
dwelling. Off-street parking fa­cilities
will be provided.
Of the 240 apartments in the
project, 160 will have one bed­room
and 80 will be two-bed­room
units. One bedroom in each
apartment will be completely
furnished and all utilities except
electricity will be included in
the rent. All kitchens will have
built-in stoves, refrigerators,
sinks and cabinets.
One year has been alloted to
frnisih the project so it is hoped
that they will be ready for oc­cupancy
by September of 1959. .

in the Union Building office.
All staff members are urged to

'Loveliest of the Plains'
While thousands of history
texts deal with the hardy ex­ploits
of men who "Go Down
to the Sea in Ships," there have
been a very few literary works
devoted to the seafaring ven­tures
of young coeds who come
out of the lake in rowboats. No
doubt this may be attributed to
the fact that the historians
found it rather difficult to
concentrate on the epoch-mak­ing
potentialities of the sub­jects.
This week's Loveliest, Susan
Myrich, would be an especially
apt mariner to write about be­cause,
among other reasons,
she makes her home in a town
with the aquatic - sounding
name of Lakeland, Fla. A fresh­man
in Education, she weathers
the acedemic storms of college
life in dorm 10.

Grants To API
Total $76,000
Money To Go To
Housing Studies,
New Equipment
A total of $76,000 has been
given to the college within the
last two weeks in the form of
educational grants. The lar­gest
of these, $50,000, was
made to the Agricultural Ex­periment
station with smaller
sums given to the departments
of physics, psysiology, and bo­tany
and plant pathology.
The Federal Housing and Home
Finance Agency gave the Ag Ex­periment
Station its grant to en­able
it to carry out a nation-wide
research studying of financing
rural housing.
Objectives of the study include
evaluations of (1) existing sour­ces
of credit for construction and
improvement of rural homes, (2)
uses of existing credit by rural
people for housing, and (3) ex­tent
to which rural housing is
not now available because of in­adequacy
of rural housing credit
facilities, and (4) an examination
of possible refinements and im­provements
needed in existing
rural credit institutional policies
and practices to meet the needs of
rural people.
Apparatus and equipment made
possible by the other three
Atomic Energy Commission grants
will be used in physics to streng­then
laboratory offerings in cour­ses
of modern physics, nuclear
physics, and reactor physics. The
sub-critical reactor will recevie
complete instrumentation.
The physiology department
will use its $7,441 share of the
grants to buy equipment for in­struction
in radiation biology and
safety. Courses in the department
will deal with the effects of rad­iation
on the tissues, use of rad­ioactivity
as food preservative,
and the therapeutics of radiation
injury.
I The grant will make laboratory
Equipment for use by students
available. Heretofore classes on
radiation have been of the lec­ture
and demonstration type.
API Midshipmen
Head For Exotic
Ports This Summer
Europe, Hawaii, the Middle
Pacific, South America, Corpus
Christi, Texas, Little Creek, Va.,
and Quantico, Va., will be the des­tinations
of many Auburn stu­dents
who are in the NROTC pro­gram
and are taking summer
cruises. Over 140 boys from API
are participating in five different
cruises.
The first cruise is made up of
70 sophomores and seniors. They
sailed for Europe where they will
visit the Worlds Fair in Brussels
and then depart for stops in Spain
and the Scandinavian countries.
These men left for Norfolk June
11 and will return the first week
in August.
The Ranger Cruise also left in
early June. Six of Auburn's se­niors
are on the U. S. S. Ranger
going around South America ter­minating
at Alameda, Calif. They
are to be gone two months.
During the middle of June,
32 seniors headed for Long Beach,
Calif., leaving there soon after­wards
for Hawaii and the Middle
Pacific. They are scheduled to
return the latter part of July.
Twenty-two sophomores are
taking a part in Aviation-Amphi­bious
training at Corpus-Christi,
Texas and Little Creek, Va. They
THE THIRD ANNUAL Kindergarden Conference drew an
estimated 150 delegates to the campus last week to hear local and
out-of-town authorities discuss the problems of teaching the pre­school
child. Mrs. Mary Layfield is shown above flanked by two
guest speakers, Dr. Hael Gabbard and Miss Sarah Lou Hammon.
College Officials Plan To Ask State
Legislature For Half-Million Boost
College officials will ask the
next Legislature for a $500,000
per year boost it was announced
last Thursday by President Ralph
left July 9 and are to return Aug.
25.
Fourteen senior men who have
chosen the Marine Corps option
will leave at the end of. July for
Quantico, Va. They will be back
the first week in August.
These cruises are taken annual­ly
by the members of the NROTC
for the purpose of preparing the
midshipmen for active duty in
the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
Botany and plant pathology's
use of the grant will make pos­sible
a course on the use of radio­active
isatopes by purchase of
new equipment. The course will
give students knowledge of safe­ty
precautions and practical ex­perience
with radioisatope tech­niques.
With a minimum of, sup­ervision,
students may then be­gin
studies using the new equip­ment
in their own experiments.

B. Draughon.
The increase will be used to
correct existing deficiences in the
School of Engineering. According
to Dr. Draughon, the money will
go specifically to build up the
engineering staff, pay better sal­aries,
provide additional labora­tories,
equipment, office and
classroom space and encourage
faculty members to engage in re­search
and professional develop­ment.
It is hoped that if these im­provements
are effected it will
pave the way for the departments
of electrical and mechanical en­gineering
to regain the accredited
status they lost last Fall. There
is also some speculation that the
aeronautical and textile engineer­ing
departments could, with the
hoped for increase, meet the re­quirements
of the Engineering
Council for Professional Develop­ment
and obtain the coveted sta­tus
for the first time.

The Death Of Patriotism ? 4 — THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, July 16,1958
0 LITHE MAli«CAW>US<^
This past weekend editorialists all over
the country noted a significant lack of "pa­triotic
spirit" shown in connection with
Independence Day. Most of the writers
professed to be extremely puzzled by the
general offhand observance of the holi­day,
comparing it with the wave of pa­triotism
that swept the nation "back then"
when it "meant something to be an Ameri­can."
We assume that they refer -to the era of
"Battleship diplomacy" which so influenc­ed
our international relations from the
signing of the Declaration of Independence
up to and including World War II. Dur-iing
this time we were looked upon by our
older and more discreet neighbors as dip­lomatically
immature, described as a na­tion
with a chip on her shoulder, and
characterized by our immeasurable self-confidence.
With the passage of the last world war
and our entrance into the sinister subtle­ties
of the Cold War, however, we grew
up, so to speak. Our battleships in moth­balls,
we now counter atrocities committed
against American citizens with "stiff notes"
and "stern protests." Our so-called ma­turity
is undermined with a s t a t e of
acute self-consciousness.
In our seemingly desperate attempts to
prevent any actions likely to be interpreted
as aggressive we must appear to our
world-wide audience as a singularly inef­fective
people. So ineffective that a two-bit
bandit can kidnap scores of our citizens,
even members of the armed forces, and
hold them indefinitely with absolute im­punity.
It is to our disgrace that we don't even
know how many American captives are
held on the Chinese mainland. Their cap­tors
toyed with us for two years in Geneva
before tiring of the game and breaking off
negotiations aimed at getting them freed.
The dessert for our bitter meal of morti­fication
is served by the USSR, a country
that admittedly intends to -convert the
world to its brand of communism by what­ever
means at hand. After a lost US plane
was casually shot down by Russian jets
and its crewmembers beaten up before re­leased,
American authorities were report­edly
afraid to publicize the beating for
fear the news might "upset Russian of­ficials
holding nine other servicemen in
East Germany."
If our founding principles and 182 years
of meaningful history have, in truth, been
traded for the timorous bleating above,
then we've no right to be patriotic. Ap­parently
we've crossed the line separating
non-agression from stupid submission.
We wonder just how deep our belief in
the "dignity of man," "freedom," and the
rest of our high-sounding doctrines can be
when we allow a force representing their
very opposites to violate them at will.
When our leaders again make it known,
effectively, that the United States and its
people will not tolerate abuse in any form
and that they stand ready to back up that
assertation, then we'll reinstate patriotism.
Until then, it's out of fashion.
We've Made It I!
Fair warning was served the school re­cently
that from now on she is a News­worthy
item in the view of the millions of
anonymous Americans who make up the
reading public. It was served in the form
of an editorial appearing in the Saturday
Evening Post, one of the many "family
magazines" that try to cater to the reading
tastes of everyone from ages six to sixty,
iand fortunately, often succeed.
The writer of the editorial very earnest­ly
tried to point out the need for increased
interest and stress on the more formal
phases of education. This, we must admit
was a very commendable undertaking; we

even wish that we had thought of the sub­ject
ourselves. In an attempt to put his
point across, however, the editorialist
picked Auburn as a "typical example" of
an educational system which emphasizes
athletics more than scholarship.
With this we can hardly concur. While
it is very true that most of us would rather
spend Saturday afternoon at a football
game than Saturday morning in a physics
lab we don't feel that the sports contest is
the more important activity.
Again, the editorial pointed out that the
school is "mass-producing engineers" (in
our "dis-accredited school of mechanical
and electrical engineering") while the
football team is a "profitable enterprise."
This would seem to imply that the sports
program here is advanced at the expense
of technical education. We are provided
with another bit of information in that
only 40 per cent of the entering engineer­ing
class graduates in that curriculum.
We have no means by which to accurate­ly
judge the writer's definition of "mass-production."
But it would seem to us that
.if the attrition rate in engineering here
is better than half, the final product is
likely to be rather select.
There is no sport at this university that
is even partially supported by state ap­propriations.
The athletic program is fi­nanced
by a set percentage of the student
activities fee and gate receipts. If a pro­fit
is made, it is of a more or less inciden­tal
nature.
We do not wish to convey the impres­sion
that all is right with API. Our faults,
like our virtues, are many ..Yet we will not
aallow ourselves to be made a national
example in a derogatory manner when the
basis of that example is drawn more from
heresay than fact.

Co-Op In Perspective
Ey BILL HAM
Recently I overheard a con­versation
concerning Auburn's co­op
program, something that form­erly
I had very little interest in
and consequently had little know­ledge
of.
After inquiring, I found that the
college maintains a Co-operative
Department with a director for
the explicit purpose of. serving
students that must or desire to
work their way through college.
Much to my surprise, I found
that our co-op department was
being compared to that of a rival
campus in Atlanta. More to my
surprise, it seemed that the com­parison
was being made to point
out some definite weaknesses in
the setup here at Auburn.
It seems that" at Tech a boy
must establish a grade average
above a set minimum before ap­plying
for co-op assistance. When
the student visits the department
there they not only have a thor­ough
list of companies that desire
to accomodate co-op students,
but makes every effort to help the
student secure the job with said
company. After getting the job,
the student is warned not to drop
below the grade standard-
Further discussion concerning
a boy that attended Tech on the
co-operative system enlighted me
to the fact that the department
there does not merely get the stu­dent
a job and drop it there. It
has the creditable requirement
that each student must submit a
written report at the end of each
quarter's employment with his
company. He must include in this
report the type work he did, what
he had learned from it, and many
others things that help the college
maintain some contact with the
students in the program.
One of the most important fac­tors
in the success of the Tech
system is the correspondence that
the co-op department maintains
with its students. At no time is
said student kept guessing as to
his standing with the program or
the security of his job, either
from the grade standpoint or
otherwise.
In contrast to the praise that
I heard Tech receive, Auburn
caught some bad slams. Several
of the folks that I talked to, par­ticipants
in the Auburn co-op pro­gram,
had a bad taste in their
mouths. The very first complaint
I heard brought against our de­partment
was that no attempt was
made to help these particular stu­dents
get their jobs. The depart­ment
simply gives the student a*'
name of a company that will or
might accomodate co-op students.
From what I gather they are left
with the rest, securing and ar­ranging
for their job.
Next in the line of conversation­al
criticism was the disinterest
which the Auburn co-op students •
shows students after they are sit­uated
' in the program. Several
people expressed the opinion that
they never knew where they
stood. This opinion seems to be
prompted by the fact that Au­burn's
department intiates very
little contact with its member
students. One. boy stated an un­fortunate
experience after he had
failed to make his grades one
quarter. He said that it was by a
word of mouth message, some two
weeks old, that he was summoned .
to the department where he found
that he had been dropped from the
program. Of course no excuses
are in order for the student not
making his grades, but the gen­eral
opinion was that the oral
summons which he had to rely on
was a bit flimsy. The boys in the
program desire something they
can count on.
Well, some of the hot criticism
expounded in the conversation
was lightened by a little praise.
The students in the program seem­ed
to be very pleased with the
benefits they receive, such as be­ing
considered as a regular stu=>
dent even during the quarters
that they are out of school while
working. This enables them to at­tend
all campus functions as a
regular student. They also have
the privilege of pre-registration
during their junior and senior
years, even for the quarters spent
with their company.
In the conversation, I hated to
hear Auburn compared with an­other
school. There are very few-areas
that we on the "plains" do
not have the best of. I hope that
the apparent shortcomings of our
co-op program will be remedied in
the near future so that it can take
a place in the string of Auburn
"firsts." Although t h e critiicisms
are few they seem to be major
and considering the large number
of boys depending on the co-op
program, it seems only fair to do
a good job where apparently a
very mediocre one is now being
performed.

.fine Arts Committee Displays
Japanese Paintings In Union
BY SUSAN GILES
The Union Buildings Fine Arts
Committee has on display in the
Union lobby • a colorful display
of superb Japanese paintings.
These paintings are by the fore­most
designers of the traditional
as well as the present-day schools
of the woodblock art. The Robert
Lee Gallery of Newtown, Conn,
is co-operating with educational
groups throughout the country in
order that these exquisite pictures
reflecting the spirit and magic of
the Orient may become more
widely known to art lovers and
Students.
This Japanese exhibit consists
of selections from a large and
varied collection of rare Japa­nese
prints assembled and brought
to this country many years ago.
Each print is made by hand by
the same primitive methods that
have distinguished this folk art
since the great days of Hiroshige
and Hokusai.
As one observes the display he
will notice that different objects
stand out. This type painting is
achieved by the primitive craft
of Japanese print making. A Jap­anese
print is the result of a care­ful
collaboration between artist,
engraver, and printer. The artist's
original design is pasted onto a
smooth block of cherry wood'.
Then the engraver cuts down the
.surface of this block right through
the design, leaving only the main
Outline raised. The "keyblock,"
usually printed in black, serves
as a guide for the color blocks
which follow.
All of the paintings on display
in the Union lobby can be bought
for the price which is listed on the
corner of each picture. Anyone
interested in purchasing any of
these beautiful works or art is
requested to contact Susan Giles
in Dorm 6.
Dr. Lane Speaks
At First Meeting
Of SAM Members
The first summer quarter meet­ing
of S. A M. was held on Mon­day
evening, June 23, at 7:00 p.m.
in room 322 at the Union Build­ing.
The affair was a smoker
with the principle speaker being
Dr. Lane, the head of the Indus­trial
Management Department.
Dr. Lane addressed 90 S. A. M.
members on the subject of the
new Industrial Management cur­riculum.
His talk was very help­ful
in clearing up some points on
the curriculum.
At the end of the meeting, Pro­fessor
Cobb of the IM depart­ment
listed the advantages of be­ing
a member of S. A. M. for the
benefit of some men who were
thinking about joining the organ­ization.
Anyone enrolled in the
IM curriculum is eligible for
membership in S. A. M.
If you are interested in becom­ing
a member, contact Mr. Bob
Gilliand or Professor Cobb.

Reading Confab
In Early July
Between 250 and 300 educators
from throughout the state of Ala­bama
gathered on the Auburn
campus July 2-3 for the third an­nual
reading conference spon­sored
by the School of Educa­tion.
Dean Truman Pierce, School of
Education, greeted the delegates
during the first session, held in
Thach Auditorium. Each session
was addressed by Dr. A. Sterl
Artley, professor of Education
and Director of the Child Study
Clinic at the University of Mis­souri.
The morning session fea­tured
group discussions repre­senting
primary, intermediate and
secondary grades.
"Teaching Reading and the Ex­ceptional
Child" was the topic of
Dr. Artley's talk before the sec­ond
general session of the meet­ing.
"Children may become re­tarded
readers as a result of be­ing
forced to begin systematic
reading before.they are ready."
"The slow readers need a pro­longed
period of readiness and a
program paced to their learning
rate with material geared to their
particular reading levels," he
said. Dr. Artley explained that
the exceptional child is the men­tal
deviate, either the fast or slow
learners.
During the final session of the
conference Dr. Artley spoke on
" I m p r o v i n g the Development
Reading Lesson." The conference
ended with a panel discussion by
members of Montgomery, Ope-lika,
and Lee County schools and
the API School of Education.

Spotlight On
Sports
By RONNIE McCULLARS
Speaking of Auburnites . ..
Folks up Louisville way probably saw the greatest baseball
play of the 1958 season last week when ex-Auburn end Jim Pyburn,
stole a three-run homer from an Indianapolis batter.
Pyburn was playing left field when the Indianapolis player
went to bat. There was a man on first and sec­ond.
The batter clouted a homer over the left
field wall. Pyburn went back, leaped up on the
wall and went through the motions of catching
the ball. He then drew back as if to throw the
ball back to the infield—but feigned dropping it.
Seeing these actions the runner on first who was
already midway between first and second turned
to go back to first and tag up. When he did, he
fell. The batter came around first and passed the
fallen runner. This made both of the men out.
The runner on second advanced only to third,
thus robbing Indianapolis of three runs.
The batter was accrediated with a single and the Indianapolis
fans are still wondering about the Auburnite named Pyburn who
took away all of "Casey's" glory that night in Louisville.
.,. A few Tigers in the pro ranks . , .
Frank Gatski ('45) ex Brown star is now with the Detroit Lions
and playing a whale of a game at offensive center. . . . Joe Child­ress
is now running first team fullback for the Chicago Cardinals.
. . . Bobby Freeman, who showed the SEC how the option should
be run from the "T", is fighting for the regular quarterback job for
Cleveland. Bob is assured of a defensive' back position for the
Browns. . . .
Dave Middleton ('55) is holding down the regular offensive
end spot on the left side of the line for Detroit. . . . Ernest Danjean
('57) and M. L. Brackett ('56) are big men at the linebacking po­sition
for Green Bay and Chicago, respectively.
Thanks . . .
To the Sports Review Football magazine for the fine three page
spread on Auburn's defensive system. The magazine (which is not
on the stands yet) also selected Jerry Wilson on their Pre-Season
All-America squad at the end post. . . .
Congratulations . . .
To Auburn's basketballing Tigers for owning the longest win­ning
streak at the finish of the '58 season. Eleven is the number
and it began with Georgia Tech—a fine team to begin a win streak
with. . . .
To that same team for finishing the season in the No. 16 spot
in the nation, the first time any Auburn basketball team placed in
the top 20. . . .
NCAA strikes again . . ,
The destructive NCAA lion is moving west. In its new persuit
the lion chose the University of Oklahoma as its prey. As reported
by the Dallas Times Herald, the NCAA is investigating the recruit­ing
of Texas high school athletes by the Sooners—who once held
the distinction of being the No. 1 team in the nation.
It seems that too many high school stars who had already
signed letters of intent with Texas colleges are changing their
minds and going to Oklahoma. This displeases the Texas schools
greatly—and they have good reason to be angry—therefore the
NCAA was called in to investigate.
The probe has not yet begun, but I am anxiously awaiting the
outcome.

Volleyball, hampered last
week by rain and forfeited
games, should really swing into
action this week as 14 games
are scheduled to be played on
the outdoor courts. The four
teams in each of the three lea­gues
will play each other twice
for a total of six games played
scored in one game set a week
earlier by BSU at 27.
Play in league No. 4 is com­pleted
but results show that
two teams are tied for first
place. The Eagles and the Reb­els,
both with 3-1 records, will
play an additional game this
week to determine who plays in

The second half is also divided
into four leagues with the win­ners

tournament.
Games played to date show
that A.V.M.A. has won league
No. 3 with a record of four wins

When the '58 Tiger grid sea­son

Jackie Burkett, a lad who may­be

the job was anyone's.
Then Jackie turned on the
juice.
In the Tennessee opener,
Southern sportswriters took no­tice
of Auburn's hard-charging
center, regarding him as one
of the best performers on
Shields-Watkins Field that af­ternoon.
Proving that he was
no sophomore upstart, Jackie
quickened his pace, improving
from game to game. By mid-
October and the Georgia Tech
encounter, Jacket mentor Bob­by
Dodd stated that he'd rather
have Burkett anchoring the
Tech line than Don Stephenson,
his own All-America selection.
That was quite a tribute.
After closing an extremely
succesful year, Burkett was se­lected
on the second units of
AP, UP, and INS all-confer­ence
squads. In addition he was
chosen by the Jacksonville
Journal as recipient of the SEC
Sophomore of the Year award,
and shared that same honor
with LSU's Billy Cannon in the
Atlanta Journal and Nashville

pride and regret as the w o rd

the Detroit Tigers at an esti­mated

Roberts contributed a great

The young pitcher's contract
signing follows a mere year of
varsity ball, making his fine
record all the more impressive.
Phenomenally, Roberts' con­tract
with the pro club termi­nates
the athletic scholarship
which he was granted only one

I AUBURN'S SPORT PICTURE
| ASISEEIT
WITH JIM PHILLIPS
One of Auburn's greatest athletes currently starts in the out-^
field for the Louisville, Kentucky club of the Triple A classified
American Association. After a two year tenure with the Baltimore
Orioles and brief stays last summer at Dallas and Knoxville, Tiger
Jim Pyburn has found a fine seasoning ground to ready himself
for stardom in another big league try.
Jim is not only remembered as a great third-sacker who led
the SEC in batting during his sophomore season, but for his prowess
as an all - conference football end as well.
Leading the Plainsmen to successive bowl gamAs
following the 1953 and '54 campaigns, Pyburg
was regarded as a sure choice for All-America
honors in his last year. As a junior flankman;
Jim had on seven different occasions been recom­mended
for "Lineman of Week" recognition, an
Associated Press National poll. Conference coach­es
voted him the "Best Offensive End in the
SEC" following the '54 season. His senior year
promised to be the Birmingham sensation's fin­est,
but Jim never played that one.
Pyburn had been a gem of a prospect in the opinions of pro­fessional
baseball scouts since his pre-college days on the sand-lots
of the "Magic City." When an Oriole scout offered him a $48>-
000 bonus in exchange for his signature, Jim had to bite. In a con­versation
with Auburn Sports Publicist, Bill Beckwith, Pyburn
admitted, just prior to his April, 1955 signing, "I like all sports,
but baseball is my favorite. Someday, I want to become a profes­sional
baseball player. As for a position—I don't really care. If I
get in the lineup, I'll play anywhere—catch, infield, or outfield."
That same competitive spirit got Pyburn to the major leagues
once, and it should soon get him there again.
In .his initial tenure on the Baltimore roster, Pyburn showed,
occasional signs of oncoming greatness, but found himself not en­tirely
ready for such a big transition. After he had spent the re-juired
two years that bonus players must stay with parent clubs,
Jim was assigned to Dallas and then to Knoxville a year ago. On
those squads the Auburnite gave notice that he would soon cbme
back for a second shot at the big time.
Jim completed requirements for his API degree winter quarter,
while he anticipated assignment to a team on which he could re­main
for the entire season. I remember him as a relentless basic
PE instructor during those cold two and a half months. Pyburn the
coach was a leader who expected top-notch performances from
every boy, and never minded working out with us. When he ventur­ed
to Florida and the Oriole training camp this spring, Pyburn had
virtually added the entire membership of that class to the list of-many
Auburnites and Southerners who'd like to see him hit the
majors successfully.
Jim opened the '58 season at Louisville as the Colonels' first
baseman. As he so desired, he's stuck with the same club since the
first night of play. And his performance has shown that he likes
things that way. By mid-May, Pyburn led the league in hitting,
but later slumped briefly. Picking up again after being moved to
the outfield, he's currently stroking the ball at a very respectable
.283 clip.
With such continued success, the name of Pyburn may be a
regular occurence in a big league lineup as early as next spring.
He's only one step away.

Vet Conference To Be Held
On Auburn Campus July 20-23
| BY JOYCE HEMPHILL
The fifty-first annual Veterinary Conference, to be held
here July 20-23, is expecting an attendance of 225 veterinar­ians
from throughout the Southeast.
This conference is a program
for continuing the education of
graduate veterinarians. Out­standing
veterinarians will dis­cuss
most recent veterinary
practices and current research
