Players Present
G. Vidal's Comedy
The Auburn Players presenta­tion
of Gore Vidal's "Visit to a
Small Planet" will be presented
in the Biggin Art Gallery tonight
and every night this week at 8:15
p.m.
The play was originally a \Vz
hour television presentation, and
it was such a success that Vidal
put the play on Broadway. It ran
there for a year and a half, and
is now touring in small theaters
throughout the country.
Telfair B. Peet, professor of
Dramatic Arts, states that the
audience reception has been extre­mely
good. However, last Thurs­day
and Saturday nights' attend­ance
was very poor. Although the
seating capacity is 156, there were
only 80 at the Saturday night
performance and 66 at the per­formance
Thursday,
According to Mr. Peet, people
continually call in wanting seats
to the evening performance, and
they are almost always available.
Even at the near-capacity crowd
performances of last Wednesday
and Friday nights there were
seats available.
During intermission there will
be a display of s i l k fab­rics
in the Biggin Art Gallery. It
is an exhibition of contemporary
silk fabrics that has been furnish­ed
by the Scalamandre Museum
of Textiles, New York City. This

pieces of fabric showing the mod­ern
motifs in the textured weaves
of today, and printed fabrics done
by the silk screen process. Each
fabric is labeled with a descrip­tion.
Four men are needed.for .three
speaking parts and a walk-on in
Shakespeare's, "As You Like It,"
which will- be -presented, at Au­burn
and on the road during" wlni
ter quarter.

should contact Telfair .B. Peet.
Swindle Wins Cake Race;
PiKA And P2 Win Trophy
By BURTON PEARSON
Larry Swindle, a former Russellville High track star who
has his sights set on a spot on the Auburn track team, breezed
to victory in the traditional ODK-Wilbur Hutsell freshman
cake race last Tuesday. The winning time was 15:46.5.
Pi Kappa Alpha, whose first
four finishers compiled only 99
points, copped the fraternity tro­phy.
Second place went to Theta

winners by lowest total points, is
used in the cake race.
"The unfavorable weather ear­lier
in the day probably accounts
for fewer runners starting the
race than last year," Coach Hut­sell
surmised. Even with fewer
starters, 492 members of the
"class of '62" trudged through the
finishing chute on the track in
the stadium. The complete list of
finishers and the times of the
first 225 is posted in the Field
House.
Second place went to Leon
Young, an ex-Thomasville, Ga.
runner who made a race of it all
the way. Another Young, Leon of
Montgomery, was in third place;
Randolph Gonce Stevenson, took
fourth place, and the fifth finish­er
was John Wallace who is from
Anniston.
The PiKa winning foursome in­cluded
Charles White, Talladega,
11th place; Robin Erskin, Bir­mingham,
18th; Lutie Johnston,
Tuskegee, 30th, and Tom Craw­ford,
Marion, 40th.
A member of Russellville's
cl&ss A state champion track
team last year, Swindle was the
Alabama mile and half-mile win­ner
in his class. He, who as one
cake race competitor put it,
"could fairly fly in high school,"
was chosen by Spiked Shoe, Au­burn's
organization of varsity
track lettermen, as the outstand­ing
trackman in class A schools
at the state meet last spring.
The main Cake Race prizes were
awarded at the half of the Au­burn-
Jacksonville State basket­ball
game. The winner received
a kiss from Miss Auburn, Gerry
Spratlin, and a trophy from ODK.
PiKa and Division P2 also were
presented trophies. Bob Long,
president of ODK, made the tro­phy
awards. ODK also presents
cakes to each of the first 25 fin­ishers.
"This was the best handled of
any of the cake races," Coach
Hutsell said as he reminisced
over the 27 previous ones.
SOMEWHAT AWED by the presence of old Santa himself the
two tots (on Santa's knee) can still let him in on their Christmas
hopeful list. Sponsored by the Union Building committees Saint
Nick (as played by Selby Tuggle) held court in the Union Ball­room
for several hours last Sunday afternoon for the small-fry
of Auburn. Needless to say, Santa's two helpers impressed al­most
as many of the older children as the grand old man himself.

Auburn Student
Dies Following
Fatal Accident
At 2:30 p.m. last Friday af­ternoon,
Howard S. Benefield,
a freshman in music education,
died at Lee County Hospital
from injuries received in a car
wreck.
According to the highway
patrol, Howard was on his way
home to Phenix City when
about five miles out of Au­burn,
his car turned over and
threw him out. He received
multiple head injuries and did
not regain consciousness.
Enroute, he had recently
passed a car, which was going
about 45 mph. The driver said
Howard was not going over 50
or 55 mph. Farther down the
road,, the car turned over.
There was no other car in­volved
and the highway patrol
has found no reason for the
mishap.
member t h e Johnson Sisters as
the group who stole the show last
year wheh'tijeyappeared on cam­pus
with some, other singing
groups. Both the Keymasters and.
Johnson Sisters, who are radio,
TV, and recording stars, are con­sidered
, among the best of the
South's gospel performers.
This is the third consecutive
year for API to be host to a pro­gram
of this type. Last year's pro­gram
was tremendously success­ful
in spite of very inclement
weather. Even more interest is
anticipated this year.
The presentation and type of
program will be typical of that
which is known throughout the
south, made popular by the Wally
Fowler Ail-Night Sings.
Brice Marsh, Union Program
Committee member, who is
chairman of the Gospel Sing and
responsible for its instigation on
the campus, will also be the mas­ter
of ceremonies. Brice stated
that a very enjoyable program
has been planned and that a
large crowd is expected since so
much interest and enthusiasm
has been expressed subsequent
to last year's Gospel Sing. He al­so
mentioned that the number of
groups to appear in the program
had been reduced in order to al­low
each group more time to per­form.
Since an overflow crowd is ex­pected,

cheerleaders and band. The 65 or
70 War Eagle cars ended Auburn's
section of the parade.
Riding between the two school
sections was the large Omicron
Delta Kappa trophy and ODK
presidents of both schools. Bob
Long is president of the Auburn

Committee Appointed To Study,
Recommend New Library Plans
An eleven-member L i b r a ry
Planning Committee has been ap­pointed
"to study and make re­commendations
regarding the type
of new library which should be
built at Auburn in the near fu­ture."
At the Same time another com­mittee
and the administration have
prepared a statement to the Gov­ernor
and members of the legis­lature
stating that the "first prior­ity
among Auburn's building
needs is a new library building."
"The present library was built
in 1910 to serve 720 students,"
says the statement. An addition
in 1939 provided for 3,475 stu­dents,
present enrollment is 8,500
—and growing.
"Graduate instruction and re­search
call for ever-growing lib­rary
services. Standards call for
a college library that can accom­modate
20 to 30 per cent of stu­dents
at any one time. The pre­sent
library accommodates only
Bix per cent of the present student
feody.
"The new building, closely re­lated
to scholarship, research and
quality in teaching, must be built
for the future," concludes the
statement to the Governor and
legislature.
"It is the feeling of the Ad­ministration
that the new library
should be of such a nature as to
meet the needs of the instruction­al,
research and extension inter­ests
of the institution," reports
Clyde Cantfell, librarian a nd
chairman of the Library Planning
Committee.
February 28, 1959 is the date
agreed upon for completion of the
study.
Members serving w i t h Mr.
Cantrell on the campus-wide Lib­rary
Planning Committee are:
Sam T. Hurst, dean, school of Ar­chitecture
and Arts; Dr. M. C.
Huntley, dean of faculties; Col. L.

Scholarship Fund
Established By
Pillsbury Company
A new "on-the-job" training
scholarship has been established
by The Pillsbury Company, to be
awarded each year to an out­standing
home economics major
graduating from the college in
June. Six runners-up will also
receive cash awards.
The Pillsbury Award winner
will be appointed to the position
of Associate Director of Pills-bury's
Junior Home Service Cen­ter.
She will be given an oppor­tunity
to step into a key position
and participate in the develop­ment
of a new and important ser­vice
activity.
The position, Pillsbury states,
has been set up so as to give the
award winner first-hand know­ledge
of the many ramifications
of the food industry and of the
ways in which home economics
contributes to this.
In addition to her salary, the
award winner will receive an in­itial
cash grant, the two totaling
$5,200. At the end of her year as
Associate Director, she will be
offered another position with The
Pillsbury Company or a grant for
graduate study in home econo­mics.
Home economics departments
in colleges are being asked to
carry out an initial screening of
interested students and to sub­mit
not more than five applica­tions
from each college. The final
selection will be made by The
Pillsbury Company on the basis

DELTA CHI HOUSE THEN AND NOW
Delta Chi's Stress Scholastic Gains,
Physical Expansion For Fast Growth
BY BOB JENNINGS AND DON LOUGHRAN
A thumnail description of Delta Chi might read: fast
moving. This fraternity is the largest of the three newest on
campus. Its speed, however, is not confined to numerical ad­vances.
In two years, the scholastic standing of the fraternity
has jumped from last to third place among social fraternities.
The Delta Chi's were founded
Of these is the talk given on the
subject of fraternities in general.
Rushees are told what they may
expect to gain from any fraternity,
a'^d what they are expected to
contribute to it. They learn, in in­dividual
talks with members, the
responsibilities and advantages at­tached
to being a member of, Delta
Chi. He also learns the duties of
seven years ago by six determined
men and an equally zealous fac­ulty
. advisor, Claude Layfield.
Sam Ginn told us some of the
Chapter's early history. The first
house was hardly more than a
shack, but it was all the group
could afford. At the limit of their
means, it wasn't the limit of their
aspirations; the next house Was
larger and (barely) acceptable.
Now the financial difficulties of
founding a chapter are many;
nothing Would have been thought
lacking, had they been content to
stop at that point. But their spirit,
which drove them to collecting
bottles and chopping wood to earn
money, enabled them to afford
moving to their present location
a scant four years after they start­ed.
The accession to financial satis­faction
and solvency was matched
by the increase in membership.
According to Tim Battle, the be­ginnings
of these accomplishments
were caused by the stimulation of
challenge. It gave the founders a
rare degree of unity and enthu­siasm.
But- aft. advancements were
made, the challenge lessened, and
a new factor apparently came into
play: rush and the pledge pro­gram.
'
Rush is, naturally, basidally sim­ilar
at all fraternities. Ronnie Mc-
Cullers described a few-variations
which have proved successful. One
of applicants' scholastic achieve­ments,
their character, personality
and interests. Application forms
can be obtained from the home
economics department.
a pledge. One of the members,
Bryant Crutchfield, told us what
one thing (if permitted only one)
he would say to a rushee trying to
decide which fraternity to pledge:
'Look very carefully at the mem­bers.
They'll be your friends, the
boys you'll be living with for four
years.'
Delta Chi initiates a nigh per­centage
of its pledges. Part of this
is probably due to the pledge's
choosing of his big brother, rather
than to his being arbitrarily—and
sometimes unfortunately—assign­ed
to a member. Pledges don't per­form
personal services, but do
Daniels To Be API SCONA Delegate;
Some Features To Be Incorporated Here
"Sources of Tension—National
and International" will be the
theme for discussion for 150 stu­dent
leaders from 64 colleges and
universities in the United States,
Canada and Mexico when they
meet at Texas A and M College,
College Station, Texas, for the
work for the fraternity. We think
that this instills the 'go-go' spirit
once sparked by adversity.
The blur of speed on the scho­lastic
scene is also the Delta Chi's.
Unhappy with their last place
three years ago, the Go-Go Boys
position among the fraternities
moved to ninth two years ago,
and last year were the third rank­ed
social fraternity. Along the
way, they picked up the IFC's
trophy for scholastic improve­ment.
With the ambition of keep­ing
it up (we hope), this year the
fraternity is paying tutors to help
the pledges with- mathematics and
English.
Final Thoughts
Don: 'For their achievement in
campus activities, I'm awarding
them the Don & Bob "We Came
Close" trophy.'
Bob: 'I think there is a great
deal of truth in the remarks of
fourth annual Student Confer­ence
on National Affairs (SCO­NA
IV), which will be held De­cember
10-13, 1958.
SCONA centers around the
idea that better informed people
today will be more responsible
citizens tomorrow—and that the
students who attend SCONA IV,
because of the interest which is
instilled in them during the Con­ference,
will go back to their
respective campuses and spread
their interest to members of their
student bodies. These student
conferences are not. expected to
be "Secretaries of State" when
they go home after the four-day
one veteran campus observer:
"The Delta Chi's have no animos­ities,
no rivals. They are one of
the friendliest groups on campus."
Post Script
Don was not left on the grounds
of ATO as thought. The Pan-Hel­lenic
Council kidnapped him in an
attempt to force him to do a sim­ilar
feature about Auburn soror­ities.
Don remained adamant in
refusing, but is 'eagerly looking
forward to being kidnapped by

that they will have gained an un­derstanding
of, and an interest
in, the complexities of our for­eign
relations.
One of the unique features of
SCONA is that all the expenses
incurred by the student conferees
—food, housing, and partial tran­sportation—
are paid by the SCO­NA
committee from donations
made by firms and individuals
who believe that college students
should have an opportunity to
further their educations and in­terests
through contact with such
serious topics as SCONA pre­sents.
Although speakers for this
year's Conference have not yet
been selected, it is certain that
they will be no less distinguished
than past speakers, including
such men as General Carlos P.
Romulo, Philippine Ambassador
to the United States; Senator Hu­bert
H. Humphrey of Minnesota;
Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, President
of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace; Mr. John
Scott, Special Assistant to the
Publisher, TIME; Mr. Eugene M.
Zuckert, former Assistant Sec­retary
of the Air Force and for­mer
member of the Atomic Ener­gy
Commission. These speakers
attended SCONA III in Decem­ber
of 1957.
Ray Daniel and Morris Savage
will be Auburn's delegates at the
1958 SCONA convention.
Phi Kappa Phi
Initiation Banquet
Held On Dec. 4th
Dr. Katherine Vickery, profes­sor
of psychology at Alabama Col­lege,
was the guest speaker at the
fall Phi Kappa Phi initiation ban­quet
on December 4. She spoke
on "Trends in Russian Education."
Dr. Vickery, as a member of a
study commission on comparative
education sponsored by the Ford
Foundation, recently returned
from Russia.
Phi Kappa Phi is the national
scholastic honorary at technical
schools. It is composed of the up­per
five per cent of each school
and is considered the highest
scholastic honor an Auburn stu­dent
can receive.
Students initiated at the ban­quet
were:
Graduates: John Carlton French,
Howard Philip Hobson, Billy Ray
Miller, Richard Shoemaker, Tim
Dennis Slagh, Emma Dean Styles.
Undergraduates: Robert Paul

General Trades Stars
For Freshman Ratcap
Retired AF General To Study
Farm Management And Forestry
By Jim Hughes
One of Auburn's freshmen exchanged a U. S. Air Force
Brigidier General's stars lor his freshman rat cap during
orientation week. He is Gen. Robert D. Knapp, USAF (ret.)
who has come to Auburn to study Farm Management and
Forestry ,and who hopes to use his acquired knowledge in the
operation of his 600 acre farm in
Lee and Macon Counties, where
he raises pine trees.
Gen. Knapp and his wife, a for­mer
Army Nurse, have rented an
apartment on Thomas Street,
where they plan to live while
Gen. Knapp tackles the toils of
higher learning. Gen. Knapp says
he plans to take an active part in
campus activities, and is a very
enthusiastic War Eagle supporter,
especially on Saturday afternoons.
He comes by this naturally,
as he was raised here in
Auburn, and used to admire the
API cadets as a boy, (Auburn was
non-coed then, and all the stu­dents
wore uniforms and march­ed
on the drill field,) so even af­ter
beginning his career in the air
corps, the General dreamed of
going to school at Auburn.
Gen. Knapp actually entered
A.P.I. in 1917, and attended school
for a few weeks while waiting for
his orders to report to flight
school.. However, before he could
complete a semester he was called
into the Air Corps where he be­gan
training in the old Curtis
"Jenny" aircraft, where fledgling
young birdmen were turned loose
in their rickety craft after only
four hours of flight instruction,
and they were rated as army
pilots after 30 hours in the air!
As General Knapp says, "My in­structor
said he was having to
turn me loose with the plane, be­fore
I killed both myself and
him!" Fortunately this event did
not happen, and General Knapp
went overseas to serve with a
night bombing squadron ,for the
duration of World War I, al­though
he did not see any combat
flying at that time. However,
World War II found the general in
North Africa as the oldest com­bat
leader in the Air Corps, lead­ing
sorties of B-25's against the
Germans. During this time, the
General distinguished himself by
leading the first allied bombing
of Rome, (then held by the Ger­mans)
and by winning such de­corations
as the Distinguished
Service Medal, Distinguished Fly­ing
Cross, Silver Star, Bronze
Star, and 7 Air Medals among
others. After the war, the General
held several training command
jobs, where he trained many Au­burn
graduates in the art of aer­ial
warfare, and was Chief of the
Air Force mission to Argentina,
where he served as one of the
"right hand men" to General Pe-ron.
The General retired from
service in 1953, to devote more
time to his favorite pastimes of
fishing and hunting throughout
the country, often with one of his
old service "buddies," Gen. Nate
Twining.
When asked of his impressions
of A.P.I. registration, Gen. Knapp
said that he was Very impressed
by the orderly and considerate
personal attention he had receiv­ed,
and was amazed at the effic­iency
of the registration officials
in dealing with such a large num­ber
of students. When asked of his
views of the college, the general
said, "of course it has changed
very much since I lived here as
boy, it seems more like a college
now, and of course it has grown
to several times the size I re­member
it. I am very. impressed
with the quality of the lectures
and with the school in general.
War Eagle!"
At The Union . . .
After the busy week of Christ­mas
decorating and parties, the
Union will settle down to the quiet
peace of Christmas. The Holly
Ball and the Children's Party were
the final activities of last week.
The free movie for this week
is "The Blue Lagoon" with Jean
Simmons and Don Houston. It will
be held at the Union Ballroom at
3:Q£ p»».,*n*fff:0Q,p.m. This week's
exhibit is "Ideas for Christmas."

Union Building Manager Reports
Series Of Thefts In Building
By Anna Lee Waller
During the course of its history,
the Auburn Union has,' been
plagued by minor thefts; which,
when totaled, amount to a con<-
siderable expense. According to
Mr. Paul Durrett, manager of the
Union," the thefts, individually are
relatively, insignificant but when
viewed a sa, whole become as dis­turbing
problem.
Over a period of years, many
of the Union's folding chairs have
been borrowed and not returned.
Smaller items, such as ash trays,
spotlights, extension cords, mag­azines,
and plastice magazine cov­ers
have disappeared. . '
During the previous Spring
quarter, a hand-made clock, giv­en
to the Union by a student, was
removed from Bradley Lounge.
At about the same time the Col­lege
Supply Store was robbed
twice to the extent of approxi­mately
$1,400 total.
Summer quarter, 1958, saw the
disappearance of two Japanese
wood-block paintings from the
art gallery. Several weeks ago $35
worth of copper art supplies were
taken from the art shop.
A piece of. modern, metal sculp­ture
was designed for the stair­way
landing leading to the War
Eagle Cafeteria. The sculpture,
25 .to 35 inches in diameter and
weighing about 25 pounds, was
left on the landing to be put
in place by Building and Grounds;
it too"( vanished.
The 'Album-Union is- not the
only place where thefts have oc-cured.
Many fraternity houses are
also missing a number of items,
one of them even a television set.
Vandalism has also been ap­parent
to the extent that a sofa
in Bullard Hall was burned, paint
was thrown oh houses and prop­erty,
and soap was put in. the
Union pool prior to Homecoming.

He's been on his way up
from the day he started work
James C. Bishop got his B.S. in Elec­trical
Engineering from the University
of Illinois on June 23,1953. On July 1,
he went to work as a lineman in the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company man­agement
training program. On July 2,
he was "shinnying" up telephone poles.
And he's been "climbing" ever since.
A planned rotational training program,
interrupted by a stint in the Army, took
Jim through virtually every phase of
plant operations.
He was promoted to Station Installa­tion
Foreman in July, 1957. Then came
more training at company expense—
in human relations and other super­visory
subjects—at Knox College.
Since early 1958, Jim has been Cen­tral
Office Foreman in the Kedzie Dis­trict
of Chicago, which embraces about
51,000 telephone stations. He has 19
men reporting to him.
"I was hired as 'a candidate for man­agement,'
" he says. "I know I'll get
the training and opportunity to keep
moving ahead. How far I go is up to
me. I can't ask for more than that."
Find out about career opportunities for
you in the Bell Telephone Companies.
Talk with the Bell interviewer when he
visits your campus. And, meanwhile,

booklet about Auburn. Despite it's cheer­ful,
forward-looking slant it tells a grim
story of Auburn's past few years of acad­emic
and physical deteriation. Without
apology it looks at its subject from an es­sentially
pecuniary viewpoint. In fact, the
text is used as an instrument to bludgeon
the reader into the realization that API
needs money—critically and immediately.
We will enter the 1960's with an esti­mated
9,400 students. As it stands now, we
can offer them the classroom and related
facilities which were little more than ade­quate
in 1950 when the student body was
about 4,000 less.
The teaching situation will be as bad, if
not worse. Education as a whole is notor­ious
for its low pay scales. Land grant in­stitutions
suffer more than privately en­dowed
colleges in this respect, yet Auburn
professors are paid about $2,000 per year
. less than this already inadequate average.
Competition from industry and other
schools will get the "new blood" that en-
. ters or is interested in entering the teach­ing
profession. Our present salaries can
be expected to attract only the culls and
deadheads.
And how long have we the right to ex­pect
our older teachers to stick by API in
our prolonged crisis? They have estab­lished
homes and grown to love the school,
but the hope for something better is slow-
. ly dwindling. A reasonable man can take
only so much before deciding that greener
pastures lie elsewhere. To illustrate this
point we know of at least one instance
where a teacher, an expert in his field, is
teaching four five-hour courses, each with
an afternoon lab, per week. The depart­mental
rules which specify a maximum
of 13 hours per week have to be ignored.
In these times of the south's rapid indus^
trial expansion and agricultural develop­ment,
research is a vital prerequisite to
continued progress. Despite the growing
reputation of Auburn's engineering re­search
projects and its internationally
recognized agricultural discoveries, the
programs are seriously lacking in funds,
facilities, and manpower. Ingenuity and
effort make up a lot of the difference but,
hampered as they are, the maximum po­tentialities
of the research programs here
are not being realized.
are short and quite often that which we
already have has been rendered practically
useless because of lack of maintenence.
One of the biggest setbacks to the engi­neering
re-accreditation drive has been the
pro-rated funds cut levied on the school
for the last part of this year. Part of the
money we would have gotten had not the
funds cut been taken would have gone into
the construction of a new classroom build­ing
behind the engineering shops.
Here again, ingenuity has offered par­tial
solutions in the utilization of wasted
space beneath the Shop Buildings and the
construction of another "temporary" build­ing.
By expanding class sizes, opening sev­en
o'clock sections, and using a movie the­atre,
even more classes have been offered.
It is, or should be, quite obvious however
that none of these innovations except the
shop buildings can be accepted as a per­manent
solution to the classroom shortage
problem.
The list of our needs goes on and on: a
library, gym, chemistry annex, and others
of equal importance. Yet with all our needs
our next request of the Alabama Legisla­ture
will be for only enough money to
operate and maintain what we already
should have for an acceptable level of
educational proficiency. The $9,320,000 we
will ask is expected to cover the minimum
in salaries, additional staff, necessary
equipment, maintenance, and operation.
The building projects will have to come
later.
We are not asking for golf courses and
solariums here. We want the bedrock ne­cessities
for a college education. If API is
to continue to provide Alabama with col­lege
trained men and women of imagina­tion
and competence, it must be given the
means to do so. Education for education's
sake has little practical value. Our goal
is to train the engineers, business men,
teachers, and thinkers which Alabama and

Inner Meanings Of Light
This time of the year minds
may easily turn to the light; for
everywhere the brightly colored
lights of Christmas shine. And
too, all the year round, one may
simply gaze out of. a window at
any time of night and see shining
all around the lights of the stars
in the dark sky, on the dorm
steps, the lamp post lights, and all
the other lights that are typical of
any town, especially a college
town.
These lights are only symbolic,
t h e South need for our rapidly developing for in them one may find a much
area.
The citizens of the state must be con­vinced
that their personal welfare is, and
will be, directly affected by our ability to
achieve this goal. They must be prompted
to provide us with the essentials in physi­cal
assets for which there can be no sub­stitute.
An Inner Meaning - Lost
Festive decorations color every store
window. Shoppers nervously push and
bump their way forward as they fill gift
lists early. Cold winter winds bite away
at your neck. Carolers chime their praises
to the new-born King. There can be no
doubt about it now—Christmas is in the
air.
But in the midst of all this gaiety, do
we realize the meaning behind this holi­day
for which we are so busily preparing
ourselves? It's another commemoration of
the most wonderful thing ever to happen
in the realm of Christianity—our Saviour's
advent into a world of prolonged sin and
suffering. But in the following days, how
many of us will take reference to this true
significance of the season?
We always find great enjoyment in ex­changing
gifts with one another this time
of year. Truly such a practice is a highlight

to look forward to, since a feeling of
warmth generally accompanies the action
of each giver. But how much will be given
to those who really require aid? Their
gifts can be returned only in appreciation
and happiness. If giving is to be signified
by the true spirit of Christmas, these many
folks in dire need will be considered.
The most common adage of Christmas
has always been "Peace on Earth, Good
Will Toward Men." Although effecting
peace between nations is currently out of
reach, we can bring God's demand to a cer­tain
degree of actuation through efforts to
get along with one another. But how many
grudges will be quelled this Yuletide? The
fact boldly stands that many of us won't
forget these petty emotions for fear that
we may come to like the person involved.
There ean be no peace on earth when
thoughts of hate and jealousy cross our
minds. And can each person's Christmas
be complete without the feeling of inner
peace and good will?
Our maker never meant for Christmas
to evolve into what it is today. This year
as the big holiday approaches let us find
time to appreciate the greatest gift of all.

DON'T FOOL YOURSELF
It Can Happen... And Will!
The night before Thanksgiving
found me hurrying up the Roan­oke
highway toward a date. I was
due at eight and was running late
as usual. Around eight-thirty the
trouble began.
The curves on that narrow road
were hard for an unaccustomed
driver to acquaint himself with.
Driving at excessive speeds down
the straightaways, I was forced to
slow down considerably whenever
I approached those treacherous
curves. Conditions on this thor­oughfare
led me to believe that
with just a little excessive care­lessness
I could become another
statistic this night.
Just as I turned a curve six
miles south of Roanoke, I was
startled to face the bright lights
of a speeding vehicle careening
around the highway, squarely on
my side of the centerline. There
was only a split second to think.
I chose to leave the road, barely
avoiding a head-on smash.
After ripping down a concrete
highway sign, turning over several
times, and slamming into a rail­road
track, the battered '56 Buick
came to its last stop. When I had
partially regained my senses, I
crawled out of a shattered back
window. Following a brief inspec­tion,
I found that I wasn't hurt
much. The few scratches I suffer­ed
were probably dealt me when
I scrambled out that jagged rear
window, the only accessible exit
from the wreckage.
After my injuries had been
treated, I went back to the scene
of the accident for a look at Dad's
car. There simply wasn't much
left. I shuddered to think of what
might have happened if a close
BY JIM PHILLIPS
friend who had considered making
the trip had not been detained at
home that evening. The death seat,
from all indications, might have
proved grimly worthy of its name.
Truly I was one of the many
drivers who harbor the attitude
of "it can't happen to me." Never
before had I been in even the most
minor collision. But it did happen
and it could to you just as easily
this Christmas. Only you might
not be so fortunate.
Traffic mishaps account for
more American fatalities than do
any other cause. Mainly due to
a mad desire to get there quick,
the American population is slowly
annihilating itself. The huge figure
of over 38,000, death total through
automobile accidents a year ago,
displays the fact that human life
is being wasted at a tremendous
rate.
As an excess of traffic mishaps
are being caused by college stu­dents,
it's up to us to begin hand­ling
our automobiles more care­fully.
As such, we should be ma­ture
enough to realize that auto­mobiles
are dangerous mechan­isms.
We wouldn't be reckless
with a shotgun. Why then do we
handle cars in such a haphazard
manner?
As you drive home for the holi­days,
remember that your obliga­tion
isn't just personal, but to fel­low
drivers as well. Not only can
you kill yourself, but other inno­cent
travelers. Common care and
courtesy on American highways
has become a modern essential.
Drive carefully next week, and
let's all see each other next Jan­uary
2. Take it from me—it can
happen to you.
TWO STUDENTS DISCOVER...
A Solution To Our Quiz Gripes
BY TIM BATTLE
"When, in the course of colleg­iate
events, a necessity arises for
the express purpose of overcom­ing
student inequities, it is then
that a new administrative system
should and must be initiated into
the overall administrative setup,"
are the words my roommate and
I, recently conjured for the "pro­logue"
or introduction to a system
which we think will take care of
a couple of the inequities afore­mentioned
and found today on
campus.
Now the first question which
comes to mind is probably, "Just
what the these inequities?" fol­lowed
closely by, "What is this
proposed system, and how will it
overcome unfairness to organized
students?"
What are these inequities? To
those of you who have ever had
the delightful experience of hav­ing
two or more quizzes in one
day, or have ever complained
about an instructor not giving
enough quizzzes during the quar­ter,
the answer is evident. To
those of you haven't, the answer
is obvious.
The system itself? As proposed
by a " t w o - m a n committee
(roomie and myself) it will con­sist
of requiring instructors,
throughout a quarter, to hold
quizzes on predetermined dates of
which the student will be pre­viously
informed. These dates
will be predetermined on the ba­sis
that, on any particular date,
there will be only one quiz given
at a specified class hour. For
example, the system could very
probably consist of scheduling
quizzes every other week or
every third week in the quarter.
In that particular week, the 8:00-
11:00 classes would have their
quizzes scheduled successively on
Tuesday-Friday (8:00 classes on
Tuesday, 9:00 classes on Wednes­day,
etc.)
As stated, the proposed system
will not only undermine the poli­cies
of certain instructors who
believe in giving only one or two
quizzes during the quarter, but
also it will prevent a "pile-up"
of quizzes on any day of the
quarter.
Other advantages can be found
in the system, also. One advant­age
would be in the form of pro­viding
better and more quiet
study conditions because of the
majority of students all studying
for quizzes in the same week. An­other
obvious advantage would
be that of providing, through
known quiz dates, a more effi­cient
means for a student to bud*
get his study time.
AUBURN'S WSGA IN ACTION
Meal Ticket Regulations... Sensible?
BY RAMONA PEMBERTON
At the start of every new
quarter, coeds can be found
flocking to Social Center, where
we exchange one hundred fifty
dollars of our fathers' hard-earn­ed
money for a room and several
slips of cardboard commonly
known as meal tickets. These
meal tickets are then, theoreti­cally,
our property, since Mr.
Webster defines property as that
which is purchased by someone.
However, he also says that prop­erty
is at the disposal of the own­er.
In view of this definition, we
have to take another look at our
meal tickets.
It doesn't take too long a look
to discover what every Auburn
girl already knows—that our meal
tickets are definitely not at the
disposal of their owners. A shin­ing
example of this is the fact
that no one, even though she has
the owner's permission, is allowed
to use a meal ticket except the
person whose name, rank and
serial number are carefully writ­ten
on the little card.
Violation of this rule results in
rather severe punishment, as
many girls found out during last
year's Homecoming. Countless
guests were humiliated and their
hostesses exceedingly embarras­sed
when the "unauthorized" user
of the meal tickets was refused
food, and the ticket was taken
up by the cashier. Of course this
rule violation was reported to the
proper authorities, who saw to it
that the rightful owner of the
meal ticket was charged a two-dollar
redemption fee as well as
being restricted.
This rule seems to be a very
unfair one, completely without
logic. If the meal is paid for, why
should it matter if it is the stu­dent,
the guest, or her roommate
who eats the food? The result is
the same. Most hostesses find it
awkward to ask their guests to
pay for their own meals and it
little hard on the average budget
to pay for them themselves. Es­pecially
when breakfast costs 40
cents, lunch 60 cents, and dinner,
80 cents.
WSGA periodically sets up sug­gestion
boxes in the dorms for the
sole purpose of finding out how
the Auburn women feel about
their rules and regulations. Any­one
who has a complaint is urged
to enter it with WSGA. Several
comments have b e e n heard
around the campus concerning
the rules governing the use of
meal tickets so, the very next
time that the suggestion boxes
are put up, let's let WSGA know
how we feel about this. Then per­haps
they can succeed in making
our meal tickets belong to us, in­stead
of vice versa.
A COLUMN
Utopia Approaching - Beware
Leisure time is becoming a
problem. A modern day phenom­enon,
the workless hour is a lux­ury
that has, in the past been a
mere part of the exclusive man
but a far unreachable thing for
the worker. It's no rarity today.
All of us enjoy it. But now that
we've got it, we don't know what
to do with it.
With a shorter work week on the
way, automation's continuous up­surge,
industry's growing de­mands,
and with the unfortunate
technological hysteria brought
about by the sputniks, our child­ren
may well push buttons for
three hours a morning and wal­low
in the leisures of life for the
remainder of the day. We are
working toward such a utopia.
But will our children be pre­pared
for their new'-fouHct,' lux­ury?
Sociologists think not!'With
a larger scale continuation of. our
present pattern, a cultural lag and
deteriment is inevitable. More
leisure time will probably mean
more wasted time. More physical
ease could mean less concern for
morality. And of primary im­portance,
boredom could become a
term synonymous with leisure.
These are a few of the confronting
problems should we desire this
coming Utopian state.
Whether we desire it or not,
we are well on the way to reach­ing
it. Industry is keyed to fur­ther
it. (A return to the 60 hour
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
work week, for example would
wreck the pleasure boat builders,
the camera manufacturers, the
mighty television and movie em­pires
and even the War Eagle box
office returns.) Education must
satisfy it. Business must promote
it.
And while the favors of the
great American system continue
to shower the common ' worker
at the expense of the educating
and the professional man, the
person who works less will have
more time on his hands and the
executive, the exclusive man, will
die younger of. hard work.
Machines not men have pro­duced
the coming era of leisure;
but men, not machines will wonder
what in hell to do with it.
AS FALL QUARTER CLOSES
A Lot To Look Back On
The last issue of Fall quarter
seems- appropriate for gathering
together loose ends—the little
things that haven't been said but
should be. Sort of a 'pot pourri
from page three' as Paul Harvey
would say.
Almost forgotten in the wave of
publicity surrounding the football
team was another Saturday after­noon
performer, the Auburn Band.
Not many people are aware of the
hard practice that went into pre­paring
the excellent halftime
shows this season. That national
television debut required special
preparation and sacrifices too. The
entire group was practicing here,
day and night, two weeks before
the game.
Activity-wise, no student could
ask for anything more than Au­burn
was exposed to this quarter.
A moment's reflection should con­firm
this fact for even the most
indifferent person. We can't recall
a time when there were more
parties, dances, and other events
to attend.
The Beauty Ball, with June
Christy and the Auburn Knights,
was one of the highlights of. the
quarter. The attendance wasn't
what it should have been, but then
it's doubtful if any big name en­tertainer
could draw sizeable
crowds at Auburn, except maybe
Roy Acuff. or Homer and Jethro.
The Knights are recognized as
the top college band in the South.
Of course, their membership is not
restricted to students, but they are,
by virtue of their name, represen­tatives
of the college. They travel
throughout the Southeast playing
for dances and acting as good-will
ambassadors for API.
A discussion of this' quarter
BY BOBBY HARPER
would not be complete without
some mention of our famous foot­ball
team. The subject of three
articles in national magazines,
they were the hub around which
everything on the campus seemed
to revolve. They deserve all the
recognition they've received, for
through their prowess on the grid­iron
the name Auburn is now
known in all corners of the nation.
True, some of the recognition
hasn't been of the type we would
prefer. But, publicity is publicity
and as far as we're concerned it's
better to be nationally known
even with the taint of a little dirt
under the doorstep than to exist
in comparative obscurity.
So, Fall qaurter, '58 draws to a
close. It's been quite a rat race
with hardly enough time to catch
your breath (and no time to study
f o r finals). Nevertheless, we
wouldn't have it any other, way.

Auburn 'Chancers' Cut
First Big Disc Release
It is very selddm that college men are able to penetrate
the competitive barrier of a big time recording world. But
three Auburnites awoke last Friday morning, realizing that
their chances for success were well on the way. Their first
disc was released that day on Dot, the label that Pat Boone
made famous. -
These three vocalists, • known as
the Chancers, are Ed Miller, Tom
Fagan, and Fred Burkhalter. The
trio is well known on the API
campus as they have performed
oh numerous occasions during the
past two years.
The big break came after the
trio had signed with a small re­cord
company in Nashville, Ten­nessee.
Before the Nashville com­pany
could get a release on the
group, Randy Wood, the president
of Dot Record Company, heard
some tapes of the trio and prompt­ly
bought their contract.
The record includes "My One"
which the trio wrote themselves,
and flipside "Shirley Ann," writ­ten
by Noel Ball and Kenneth
Moffett, authors of the popular
"Oh Julie." Dot is planning a big
coast to coast push on the new
record, and with luck and support,
the Chancers may find them-i

The Chancers wish to thank
everyohe for the tremendous re­sponse

young people can contribute to
international i understanding and
help build world peace," the
Committee adds..

set up for the VJIth Festival to
be held July 26-Aug- 4, 1959, in

a girl was transferred to the New
York headquarters. The morning
she reported at her new post, the
big chief called her into his of­fice
and said, "I hope you'll be
happy here. The work will be
practically the same as you were
doing in the Pittsburgh office."
"Okay," she replied. "Kiss me,
and let's get started."

Christmas Is Now Here;
Many Parties On Campus
Phi Tau Presents Dream Girl
KA, AGR, And Sigma Chi Have Parties
By SANDY ROSS
Plainsman Society Editor i
The merry season of Christmas was ushered in by the
merriest bunch of Auburn students ever. Tinsle, mistletoe and
dream girl candidates decorated most of the fraternity houses.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon started the week off with their an­nual
Christmas Coffee on Thursday, Dec. 4 from 4 to 6 o'clock.
Hi-Fi served as the Christmas
Carolers at the Phi Kappa Tau
House on Friday night but the
Stardusters were on hand to play
for the presentation of Lynda
Welch as Dream Girl on Satur­day
night.
Phi Delta Theta relied on the
methods of group singing and
records as did Sigma Phi for
their Christmas Parties.
Theta Chi had Saint Nick pre­sent
both pretty presents and
Dream Girl Finalists who are Ivy
Maulk, L i z Griffin, Carolyn
Weaver, Dianne Edge and Nancy
Starling.
Mrs. R. K. Evans, a member of
the Minerva Club; Mark Jack­son,
chapter president, Mrs. Mar­garet
Prevost, housemother; and
Miss Carol Covey, chapter sweet­heart
wished each and every
guest a Merry Christmas.
The Rythm Aces rang the jin­gle
bells at the Alpha Gamma
Rho house on Saturday while
fruit cake and egg-nog was
served to the guests. Ceba La-zona,
Sandra Putnam, Pat Sweet,
Annette Crumpton and Marriet-ta
Jacobs were the Christmas
packages presented to the mem­bers
as Dream Girl Finalists.
Pi Kappa Phi entertained with
an informal Hi-Fi party Friday
night and then dressed up for the
Pledge Formal at the Bamboo
Club in Phenix City. .
Kappa Alpha wanted to extend
the joy of Christmas time all over
Lee County so they had their
party at the Martha Scott Hotel
in Opelika. Mad Sam and His
Band provided the music for

Sigma Chi made sure that every
corner of their house was filled
with Christmas music and laugh­ter
when they had their "Split
Level Christmas Parties." Mistle­toe
covered every inch of the
ceilings in the chapter and dining
rooms where both were held.
During the Auburn-Alabama
weekend the Lambda Chi's were
guests of Howard chapter Fri­day
night for an informal party
at the Howard chapter's house.
Before the game Saturday, the
Lambda Chis of Birmingham
Southern held a coffee at the
chapter house for members and
pledges from Auburn and Ala­bama
and their dates. Saturday
night all four chapters gathered
for a party in the Terrace Room
of the Thomas Jefferson Hotel.
Music was by the "Rolling
Stones," a recording group from
Meredian, Mississippi.
Last Sunday thirty Lambda
Chis and dates from Howard were
guests of the Auburn chapter for
dinner and afterwards an inter-chapter
football rivalry was r e ­newed.
Six Museums Buy
Art Prof's Work
Six museums in the United
States and one in Europe have
acquired graphic works by Malt-by
Sykes, art faculty, during 1958.

a color engraving com­missioned
by the International
Graphic Arts Society, have been
added to the permanent collec­tions
of the Baltimore Museum
of Art, Boston Museum of Fine
Arts, Brooklyn Museum, Cincin­nati
Art Muesum, Metropolitan
Museum, Philadelphia Museum of
Arts; and the Stedelijk Museum
in Amsterdam.
The print was done by the art­ist

Sykes was already represented
in four of the museums named.
The Metropolitan Museum ac­quired
his color lithograph "En-ergtic
Lines" in 1955. The Balti­more,
Brooklyn and Cincinnati
Museums acquired a color etch­ing,
"Trellis," in 1957.

horrible announcement, "W a k e

Dear Modine,
I date a basketball player who
is 7'1" tall. He is so much fun
and I really do like him, especial­ly
when we are sitting down. You
see, I am only 5 feet. My main
problem is that often when we
are walking together he places his
hand on my head (he can't reach
my hand to hold it and this causes
all sorts of complications. First, if
I'm wearing a hat he ruins it and
it is uncomfortable to be steered
around by the head. However the
worst part is that sometimes he
forgets what is under his hand—
he starts bouncing me like a
basketball! Now this is very em­barrassing
and I don't bounce too
well. What do you suggest we do
to eliminate the bouncing.
Sincerely,

By TIM BATTLE
Plainsman Features Editor
Is "book-store robbery" one of your problems at this time
of year? Well, it need be no longer, for on campus there is an
"anti-Jesse James" organization which has as one of its pro­jects
the elemination of this trend of unfair book exchange
on campus.
By allowing the student to
name his own price for a book,
the organization provides a means
of giving the student his rightful
equity in any book he wishes to
sell.
The organization . . . It's Al­pha
Phi Omega Service Frater­nity,
of course, perhaps better
known as APhiO. The project?
. . . APhiO's quarterly book ex­change,
located under the steps
at Langdon Hall.
Open on December 15-17 and
Jan. 5-10, the APhiO Bookstore
will operate under the same set­up
as in previous quarters. The
student will go to the location
under Langdon steps where he
will fill out a card, including his
name, address, name of book, and
price for which he wishes to sell
it. He will then turn the card and
book over to an APhiO member
i-B—THE PLAINSMAN WW$&tot;X>mm)jf&MJM^t-mQ and animals.
and give a claim stub to the stu­dent.
APhiO then will sell the book
for the desired price and mail the
student a check for that price,
less ten per cent charge to cover
expenses.
Outdated books which remain
unclaimed after the student is
notified are sent to various lib­raries
throughout the country and
overseas. In the past, much-needed
books have been sent to
libraries in Japan.
But the book exchange is but
one of. many other projects spon­sored
by APhiO Service Frater­nity.
Founded on campus as the
Delta Chapter in the latter part
of the "Roarin* Twenties" era, the
organization has retained the
roaring spirit imparted to it.
Through the use of this spirit, it
has for the three decades since
its founding, rendered many ser­vices
toward the betterment of
the campus community.
They have given their time,
money, and services toward such
things as: for the Union build­ing,

three additional years of support
raises the total of the grant to
over $53,000.
Previous studies have demon­strated
that protective substances
formed against the hookworm in­terfere
with the digestion of food
eaten by the worm. Since the
worm cannot secure the necessary
food in this host, it cannot con­tinue
to live there, and the host
is therefore said to be "resistent."
This grant will support similar
studies on the mechanism of this
resistance against other worms

Snake, 'Coon, Owl, Etc. In Cabin
By PEGGY ROGERS
Have you ever wondered what it's like to hitch-hike cross­country
with a coon in your pocket? Not long ago a boy on
an Auburn athletic scholarship had this experience. When
Jerry Hutchinson, a senior majoring in math and English, re­turned
for fall football training, Aug. 30, his pet coon came
too.
rn^Kiv*'^^";
It all started when Jerry
climbed a tree outside his home
town of Jackson, Miss., and pulled
four small coons from a hole in
the top of the tree. He gave
three away and kept one to train.
At first the c o o n was fe­rocious
and bit and scratched
Jerry at every opportunity. Jerry
patiently fed him table scraps
and nuts until the little ball of
fur learned to accept him for a
friend..
Here at school Jerry keeps the

J a m e s Stewart, Chattanooga,

scholastic achievement through his
first six quarters at Auburn. Ste­wart's
name is engraved on a
plaque which is displayed in Mil­ler

coon in a cage outside the win­dow
of his cabin at Graves Cen­ter.
Regularly he brings his pet
into the cabin by reaching out
the window into the cage. The
racoon is given the run of the
house and nightly searches the
cabin for bits of food which Jerry
hides for him.
This racoon is not the only pet,
Jerry has kept while here at Au­burn.
In the past he has housed a
crow, hawk, owl and even some
squirrels.
One of his most unusual pets
was a 5'7" rattlesnake with 14
rattles. He caught the reptile be­hind
the forestry plot and kept
him during the summer quarter
in a wire cage in his cabin. The
rattler proved a very interesting
"watch dog" since the vibration
of a door opening would excite
him enough to cause him to send
his chilling warning to all who
entered. The snake was fed peri­odically
with live frogs and rats.
Jerry's interest in animals and
outdoor life began at an early
age. His father used to train bird
dogs and Jerry has two excellent
dogs at home now.
He has tied together his inter­est
in English and nature with a
story he wrote while working in
the wheat fields of Kansas. The
story entitled "The Lost Pilot"
revolves around a pilot who was
forced down in a swamp and had
to depend upon his knowledge of
woodlore and nature for survival.
His short story was printed in the
Saturday Evening Post.
Don't be startled if you see
Jerry walking across the campus
with his pet coon resting com­fortably
on one shoulder. He is
one boy who has turned his
knowledge of the outdoors and
his-love for animals into, profit.
JERRY HUTCHINSON displays his pet racoon posed in his
favorite position resting on Jerry's shoulders. Jerry caught the
animal when it was young and has since made him a pet. Hutch­inson
brought his pet to school from Jackson, Mississippi, although
he had to hitch-hike with the then-small animal with him.

The Familiar Friendly Postman
Also A Very Talented Musician
Bach And Chopin Among Favorites,
Rock And Roll Are Frowned Upon
By JEAN PARKER
Plainsman Feature Writer
"You're wel-1-l-come!" To all Auburn coeds, this well-mannered,
drawling response is a familiar sound. Darnell
Giddens, better known as "The Friendly Postman," is almost
an institution around the Social Center, having served the
girls' mail for some 18 years.
I at church—not to mention three
' sons, ages 12, 8 and 4.
Darnell feels that his work with
coed mail has given him great ex­perience
in handling the public.
He says he enjoys his work, but
the different types of personalities
encountered every day require a
great deal of thought and pati­ence.
(No doubt!) His one gripe
is poorly addressed mail, the big-l
gest time-waster he comes across..
Concerned at the thought of
losing our postman to the con­cert
field, Darnell laughted reas­suringly,
and said, "I aspired to
concert work, but I'll probably
dry up right here in the Social
Center if. they don't fire me first."
After 18 years of faithful, cour­teous
service, we doubt the possi­bility.
Unknown to most of the coeds,
however, Darnell is more than a
polite postman. He is a very tal­ented
musician, and aspires to do
concert work in the future.
Darnell says his musical career
started "by ear" as soon as his
feet could touch the pedals on a
parlor organ. Thanks to encour­agement
from his family, Darnell
seriously studied music, and now
is not only studying music at
Tuskegee Institute but also has
around 12 students to whom he
gives piano lessons here in Au­burn.
In his words, he has pursued
musical study because "I could
feel a talent or calling to it."
Darnell's favorite composers are
Bach and Chopin. His ambition
is to do concert piano work. He
he concedes the fact that a colored
audience would want a variety of
jazz, classical, and sacred music,
his interests definitely lean to­ward
the classics and sacred
songs. Darnell says, "I'm not par­ticularly
fond of rock 'n roll."
At present, Darnell is studying
a collection of Negro spirituals by
Samuel Cobridge Taylor, the only
known transcription of his work
on the piano. All are Negro folk
songs; they include selections of
jungle music such as "Bamboula,"
an African tribal dance, besides
well known spirituals such as
"Deep River."
Darnell does not confine his
talents to music however. An ac­complished
artist besides, he
has two paintings hanging in the
Club House of Tuskegee Alumni
in Chicago. Various art critics have
feels he would enjoy the travel I highly praised his work. Also
and opportunity for cultural serv- among his activities are an adult
ice such a career affords. Although | Bible class, playing for services

Smith Kline and French Founda^
tion of Philadelphia. Dr. W. S.
Bailey and Dr. R. E. Thorson, of
the API Pathology and Parasito­logy
Department will head the r e ­search
project.
Dr. Bailey and his associates
already have developed a keen
interest in the esophageal worm
of the dog as the result of their
demonstration that it appears tp
be an inciting cause of cancer of
the esophagus of the dog. They
were first to report this relation­ship
which has been confirmed
recently by workers of the Col­lege
of Veterinary Medicine at
the University of Cairo, Egypt.
Dr. Bailey presented a summary
of their observatoin on the re­lationship
of spirocerca and eso­phageal
cancer at a recent meet­ing
of the American Society of
parasitologists in Bloomington,
Ind.
The French Foundation was
established by the Smith, Kline
and French Laboratories for the
purpose of providing financial
support for chartiable, education­al
and scientific purposes, includ­ing
fundamental investigations in
biology and medicine.
The grant to Auburn will be
used for basic studies on various
aspects of the biology and epi­demiology
of this parasite, which
it is hoped will provide informa­tion
that will make possible fur­ther
studies on the specific cause
of the related cancer and on ef­fective
methods for the control
of the worm.
A Higher Tuition
Is Frowned Upon
Capable students, whether liv­ing
in Alabama or elsewhere,
should be able to continue their
education regardless of income
status and without having to bor­row
mpney to do so.
This belief is expressed in a
statement just issued by the joint
executive committees of the Am­erican
Association of Land-Grant
Colleges and State Universities
and the State Universities Associa­tion.
Spokesmen for the associations
warned that continuance of the
practice of increasing fees to co­ver
the cost of education would
"reverse the entire tradition of
equal opportunity for our young
people."
Calling attention to the fact
that society is the prinpipal bene­ficiary
of. an educated public, the
educators pointed out that this
trend "would be disastrous . . . to
American national strength."
"In general those states which
have made and are making the
greatest publicly financed effort
for higher education are those
with the highest percentage of
able young people in college," they
said.
Election of the Reverend John
Haddon Leith, Ph.D., of Auburn
as professor of historical theology
at Union Theological Seminary,
Richmond, Va., was announced
recently by President James A.
Jones on behalf of the Seminary
board of trustees.
Since July, 1948, Dr. Leith has
served as pastor of the First Pres­byterian
Church here. During his
pastorate the local congregation
has nearly doubled in number, and
a building program, including a
new sanctuary and a new educa­tion
building, has been completed.
Dr. Leith was born in Due West,
S. C, attended the public schools
of that city, and Erskine College
from which he received the Bach­elor
of Arts degree in 1940. He
attended Columbia Theological
Seminary in Decatur, Ga., was
awarded their Alum.-J Fellowship,
and in 1943 was awarded their
Bachelor of Divinity and Master
of. Theology degrees.
Upon graduation from Seminary
he was called to be minister of
the Second Presbyterian Church
at Nashville, Tenn. During this
pastorate he earned the Master of
Arts degree from Vanderbilt Uni­versity.
In 1946, Dr. Leith was awarded
a Kent Fellowship by the National
Council on Religion and Higher
Education. On this Fellowship he
studied for two years in the Grad­uate
School of Yale University,
receiving the Doctor of Philosophy
degree in 1949. Dr. Leith also re­ceived
a graduate fellowship from
the Board of Christian Education
in the Presbyterian Church, U.S.
in 1951 and spent a term of study
at the Ecumenical Institute of the
World Council of Churches, at
that time meeting in Zeist, Hol­land.
As visiting professor in the­ology,
Dr. Leith taught during the
spring quarter of the 1957-1958
session at Union Theological
Seminary in Virginia. Twice he
has also been visiting professor
in the faculty of Columbia The­ological
Seminary at Decatur.
During the past few years he has
been in demand as a teacher at
various church conferences.
In his Presbytery and Synod
Dr. Leith has served in various
positions of responsibility. At
present he is a member of his
denomination's committee on the
Revision of the Book of Church
Order, and on A Brief Statement
of Faith. He is a member of the
board of trustees of the General
Assembly's Training School for
Lay Workers in Richmond.
Dr. Leith's wife is the former
Ann White from Chester, S. C.
They have two children, Henry
and Caroline.
Following his acceptance of the
Union Seminary appointment, Dr.
Leith wrote, in part, as follows to
members of the local Presbyterian
congregation:
"I want to assure you that I did
not make this decision until I had
given the matter much considera­tion.
In no case would I have
accepted the invitation if I were
not convinced that the most ser­ious
and urgent task before the
church at the present time is the
training of ministers.
"While I am convinced that I
should accept this invitation, I do
it with many regrets. The years
which I have spent in Auburn
have been very satisfying and
the source of real happiness. I
never expect to have 11 better
years than I shall have had here
when I leave. I am glad that I
must leave with much reluctance
and regret, for to leave witn no
reluctance would be a real loss."
"My acceptance is subject to
the procedures of the Book of
Church Order and will not be ef­fective
until some time in 1959.
