Intensive Interest Noted
As REVY Closes Here
Demand For Guest Speakers Greater
On Campus Than First Expected
By Jean Hill
The conclusion of the 1959 Religious Emphasis Week has
brought the realization that religion is an integral part of
Auburn and that students are vitally interested in all phases
of religious discussion. The convocations and- seminars were
well attended and the faculty panels, which were introduced
this year, had large attendances.
Many fraternities asked for
and received more than one
house discussion. Classroom lec­tures
were popular, and a good
number of professors requested
guest speakers. REW spread from
the campus to the town, and
many Auburn civic clubs had
programs conducted by the REW
speakers. There were more de­mands
for speakers than could be
filled.
The s u c c e s s of REW w as
brought about in great part by
the outstanding ability of the
speakers. Each is a noted leader
in his respective religion and
field. The collection of speakers
included prominent churchmen,
college presidents, and a well-known
physician. Dr. J. Winston
Pearce was the campus speaker
and all the other speakers were
sponsored by local churches.
All lectures and discussions
were outstanding, but an unus­ual
one was that given by Dr.
Evan Shute, "Critique on Evolu­tion."
Dr. Shute is a prominent
physician and the Medical Di­rector
of the: Shute Institute. A
talk : was.-given by Dr. Pearce
about "Campus Gods on Trial."
Dr.. Pearce stated ihat. contrary
to popular belief campuses do
have Crpds—but top many of them
arfev of- the wrong sort. He asked
that "the"' heed ?6r ~ one God be
recognised..
The best attended seminar was
the one conducted by Dr. Robert
M. Grant on "Dead Sea Scrolls."
An authority on religious history,
Dr. Grant read from accounts of
the life of people living during
the period when the Dead Sea
Scrolls were written. Also of in­terest
to history students and
professors was his lecture on
"What Does History Prove, If
Anything."
A "first" in REW was recorded
when the Bishop's Company held
a religious drama Monday, Jan.
19. This was considered to have
been extremely well received by
the students. A seminar on re­ligious
drama was held immed­iately
after the presentation.
As a final wrap-up of REW,
the Student Council of Religious
Activities has appointed a com­mittee
to evaluate REW and pro­pose
suggestions for next year.
This committee is h e a d e d by
Price Williams and is composed
of two students, two faculty
members, and two local minis­ters.
R. C. Anderson Named
To Consultant Group
Dr. Robert C. Anderson, API
graduate and director of the
Southern R e g i o n a l Education
Board, has been named a mem­ber
of t h e Surgeon General's
Consultant Group on Medical Edu­cation.
The 21-member group, com­posed
of national leaders in medi­cine,
education and public affairs,
has been invited to seek answers
to the question: "How can the na­tion
be supplied with adequate
numbers of well-qualified physi­cians
over the next decade?"

Building Contract To Be Let On March 5
THE ARCHITECT'S DRAWING of a new Plant Science Building is shown above. The contract for
will be let on March 5.
the building's construction
By BURTON PEARSON
The contract for construction
of the Plant Science Building
will be let on March.5, Col. L. E.
Funchcss, director of buildings
and grounds, h a s announced
Construction, which will begin
soon after awarding the contract,
is expected to take two years to
complete.
The building, a three-story
containing 140,000 square feet of
floor space, will be located south
of Comer Hall with a wing ex­tending
east toward c o 11 e g e
street. Housed in the building
will be the departments of Bo­tany
and Plant Pathology, Zoo­logy-
Entomology, Agronomy and
Soils, and Horticulture.
Greenhouses and labs on the
building site are now being torn
down. Some of these buildings
were condemned 30 years ago by
building inspectors.
Construction on an addition to
the Animal Husbandry Building
and the Vet School building is
expected to begin soon after the
Plant Science Building contract.
"The new buildings will have
a tremendous effect on teaching
and research in the fields of ag­ricultural
science at API," Dr.
Charles F. Simmons, associate
dean of the school of agriculture,
said.
"Relieving of crowded condi­tions
of faculty members will
permit more effective work and
enable progress to be made on
many problems ait'eeling the
welfare of Alabama."
j "Students in curriculums that
require botany, zoology, and oth­er
courses that will be taught in
the new building will benefit by
better designed and equipped
labs and classrooms. The addi­tional
office space, will make
possible faculty-student confer-'
enccs which have not been pos­sible
with several professors in
the same office."
"The quality of the staff of the
Auburn School of Agriculture is
not exceeded by that of any Land
Grant College in the South but
the effectiveness of the staff has
been limited by lack of space. The
buildings will provide facilities
needed to make the most effec­tive
use of talents possessed by
the staff."

Transportation to Europe is by
special student ship which offers
its own orientation and recrea­tion
program—a floating campus
so to speak. Microbus transpor­tation
through the continent is
being investigated to allow more
freedom within the group than is
possible on the large bus tours.
Native guides are used in each
country in addition to the tour
leadership by an experienced fa­culty
member.
Highlights of last year's trip
was attendance at the Henley
crew races, Michael Redgrave's
performance in Hamlet, the Bas­tille
Day parade in Paris, the
opera "Aida" performed under a
full moon in the Baths of Cara-calla
in Rome and impromptu
picnics as on top of. the Gotthard
Pass and on a farmer's beach
along the Mediterranean.
A tour is part of the Florida
Union student activity program.
A travel and study abroad con­sultant
service is maintained by
the staff. Extensive information
covering tour programs, hostel-ing,
independent travel, and edu­cational
programs in foreign uni­versities
is kept on file.

trustees by Gov. James E. Fol-som
week before last, subject to
Senate confirmation, was John
Overton, Montgomery bonding
company executive and Auburn

Since the new Senate must

there is a possibility Overton will

Downtown Drunks Misnomer For Smallest Fratl 7* 7^e S&uuU
Delts Develop Leadership
Through Excellent Pledge Program
. By Bob Jennings
The mention of Delta Tau Delta connotes many ideas to
different individuals on the Auburn campus . . . political leg­erdemain,
small, successful, struggling, bankrupt, down-town
drunks, and so forth. As is the case with any fraternity, some
of these things are true, while others are the ill-considered
opinions of those who don't know
Delta Tau. Let's group some of
these ideas and examine them.
Size. Delta T a u Delta is the
smallest fraternity on campus,
partly because they are new.
However, the main reason is that
the members have weighed the
advantages of being large—in the
main, greater financial ease and
more manpower for campus acti­vities—
and found them less than

those for being small—greater
unity and closeness, and more ac­curate
appraisal of rushees. The
ideal situation is to be large
enough to meet financial obliga­tions
and take an active part in
all campus functions, yet small
enough to keep a real brotherhood.
While not tying themselves to an
arbitrary figure, for the Delts the
proposed goal is about 45 actives.
In order to retain their thorough
evaluation of prospective pledges,
the expansion will be gradual. I
think it will take them four years
to reach full strength.
Success? On most counts, the
answer is yes. Financially, Delta
Tau is neither going bankrupt nor
anticipating the possibility. As
mentioned, an inherent drawback
of keeping small is the necessity
for a tighter budget. But in the
matters of parties, floats, decora­tions,
and campaign funds, the
fraternity is able to hold its own.
They can't hold their own (or
anyone else's) on the sports field,
where lack of numbers invariably
shove the smaller fraternities to
the bottom of. the pile.
The most notable success of
Delta Tau should be their selec­tion
and training program for

Delts are the only fraternity so far where our reporter has been
able to meet all three.

pledges and new members. Choos­ing
pledges from among the rush­ees
is personal and realistic. The
new class begins the time honored
of pledgeship . . . that is, learning
about the fraternity, becoming a
part of it, and making grades.
Harassing and personal service
are, as they ought to be, things of
the past. Eventually the pledges
become members and enter an
even more comprehensive, valu­able
training program that deve­lops,
among other things, leader­ship.
The" demonstration of that
is,

of campus offices held to num­ber
of. members of Delta Tau
Delta is amazing. Delts hold at
least four key posts, both elected
and appointed, plus other chair­manships
and committee appoint­ments.
There are still others who
function as Plainsman reporters,
Sonny Clingan food runners, etc.
A fraternity in which most of the
members take such an active part
in extracurricular activities is re­markable.
When as large ^ ' p e r ­centage
of the fraternity hold ma­jor
positions as is the case here,

He sees the world through dark glasses. He just knows that he'll
wind up in a job he doesn't like, that he'll be underpaid, that
he'll get lost in the crowd. But realistic men know these things
depend largely on their own decision in choosing a career.
Realistic men look for companies that provide sound train­ing,

There is one more story worth
telling; the reader is invited to
his own conclusions. Every frater­nity
has three "non-actives" who
know the fraternity as well, and
have as much to do with shaping
it, as any member: the house­mother,
the sweetheart, and the
faculty advisor. To date I have
met all three only at Delta Tau;
only one other fraternity has been
as valuable or enthusiastic in their
praise.
Final Thoughts
Somehow, the s to r y never
touched upon the play on letters,
Down Town Drunks. With infinite
regret I must inform all pros­pective
gate-crashers that, al­though
the Delts have fine parties
with agreeable frequency, their
highly colorful nickname is equal­ly
inappropriate.
Dear Modine, ,
I am a basketball player, 6'
9", and have been going with
a litle 5'1" coed for two years
now. I want to propose mar­riage
to her, but she seems to
detest my height. My question
is, how can I overcome her
resentment of my height and
should I propose now or wait
till later?

Dear Undecided,
Just put a little more
"dribble" in those "sweet
nothings" and get down on

problems.

Dear Modine,
The other night my date and
I went to a local theater, and
since there was a very popular
film showing, we found the
theater crowded. We were ush­ered
to a seat on the front row
and over to the far side of the
screen. Now, since it was the
only available seat in the house,
I had to sit on my date's lap
throughout the entire show.
I was just wondering if any­thing
could be done about this
deplorable situation?

Dear Modine,
In my German class the
other day, the prof, with a
wicked gleam in his eye, said
something to me in German.
Now since I am not too well
versed in the subject, I didn't
know whether to thank him or
say "The same to you!" What
should I have done?

Dear Wondering,
The next time he does this,
say "The same to you!" If he
hits you, you'll know what
it was.

Dear Modine,
I'm very disturbed at the fact
that, at'curfew hour, when I
am trying to kiss my girl good­night

there always seems- to be . a
bevy of head lights intruding
upon my'privacy. What should
I do?

Don't sweat it! A little light

As Greek Week Nears 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, January 28, 1959 SAME OLD STORY
To a campus where a large majority of
the students are not affiliated with a so­cial
fraternity or sorority, the coming of
Greek Week is liable to arouse little in­terest
and even less enthusiasm. The arti­ficial
barriers between Greeks and inde­pendents
at other schools do not exist here,
so why dedicate a week which, on the face
of it, excludes the largest part of the stu­dent
body?
It's easy to assume that fraternity and
sorority members will use this period to
indulge themselves in a week of snobbery
when actually it has far more serious pur­pose.
The aforementioned excellent relations
between fraternity and non-fraternity stu­dents
have always been spontaneous. The
frictionless relationship here can be en­hanced
however, by a definite program
set up for that purpose. The discussion
groups of Greek Week will devote some
time to the problems which might arise to
endanger this good will. More time will
be spent on possible improvements.
Other areas in the public relations field
to be considered are the associations en­joyed
between the fraternal organizations
and Auburn townspeople. These too have
been exceptional in comparison to other
colleges. A realization that these associa­tions
are not to be taken for granted is the
first step toward their maintenance.
In addition to these topics the internal
affairs of the fraternities and sororities
will undergo close scrutiny. Since they
provide shelter, meals and wholesome so­cial
outlets for about one-fourth of the
student body it is important that they be
managed as soundly as possible. A free
exchange of ideas on the different aspects
of fraternity and sorority operations is es­sential
to achieve this end.
One of the less vital but most entertain­ing
parts of the period is the Greek Week
Dance. For Greeks and independents the
dance is one of the traditional social high­lights
of the year. Big name entertainment
which, in a town the size of Auburn is
rather unusual, is made possible in this
instance by the efforts of the Interfrater-nity
Council.
We have tried to explain the very ser­ious
purposes of Greek Week. Fraternities
and sororities are invaluable assets to the
school. As they strive for self-improve­ment
we see in their efforts not only bet­ter
social organizations, but a better col­lege
and community.

available for the Georgia game. It immed­iately
became a matter of serving up two
bucks' per head or turning back home, un­less
a pizza-eating evening at the Black
Angus was considered a satisfactory sub­stitute
for watching basketball. •
Actually, we had no right to expect
lower priced student tickets for this en­counter.
We failed to remember that the
game was scheduled as a Georgia home
date rather than a neutral court situation.
Until last season, the Bulldogs played their
Auburn home game in Athens. To remove
the contest from a crackerbox gym, which
is unbelievably worse than our Sports
Arena, they transferred the site to Colum­bus.
Under such circumstances, all gate
receipts belong to the University of Geor­gia,
just as they would were the game
played on that campus. At Woodruff Hall,
there would be no Auburn student tickets
spld, so we have no reason to expect a
more favorable setup in Columbus.
And next, we question why students of
a school playing on another's campus are
not rationed cheaper tickets if they wish
to make the trip. Because of limited, seat­ing
capacities, such conditions would prove
unfair. Georgia Tech, for instance, plays
in a coliseum seating 7,000. If their ath­letic
administration provided, say 2,000 tic­kets
to our students, the Engineers would
expect the same in return wr^n they came
to Auburn. Such agreement would be im­possible.
Tech might be able to spare 2,000
seats, but accommodating that number of
Techsters in the Sports Arena would eli­minate
the Auburn student body from see­ing
the game.
If you want to view basketball at op­ponent's
home sites, be prepared to pay a
premium. It's more than made up to you
when the Tigers play at home. Isn't a night
of top-flight college basketball at the price
of a quarter reasonable compensation. —

IMMORTAL PORTRAIT
Schweitzer... World's Eighth Wonder?
On the morning of Jan. 14,
1875, in the town of Kayser-berg,
in Upper Alsace, France,
a child was born. Destiny had
plans for this boy, for he was
later to become one of the
greatest sources of inspiration
to man the world over.
At the age of five, he start­ed
to school, and it was now
that everyday events began to
crystallize into a definite pat­tern
and meaning for him; it
was now that he learned some
of life's most valuable lessons.
He learned the meaning of tol­erance
and how to smile in the
face of persecution. He learned
the meaning of "Thou Shall
Not Kill"—not even God's
smallest creatures. This last
lesson was learned one day on
a grassy hill where he and a
school friend were to shoot
birds with their sling shots.
As he raised his slingshot to­ward
the tree, church bells
started ringing. Because of his
sensitive nature the ringing
bells held a profound meaning.
Quickly he scattered the birds
so that none would be killed.
Then he ran home, and this
lesson lasted him a lifetime.
Throughout this boy's young
school days he remained apart
from the other students, for
they made fun of him. He al­so
had a difficult time learn­ing
his reading and writing.
But at last he was graduated,
and at the age of 19, went to
the University. He had de­cided
to study theology, phi­losophy
and music (he was al­ready
an accomplished organ­ist).
Upon his graduation he
had earned degrees in all
three fields.
Now what to do? He de­cided
that until he was 30 he
would teach, write, lecture,
and work on his music.
At the end of this period he
felt sure he would be shown
what path he would travel at
that time. In 1905, while read­ing
an article by the Paris
Missionary Society and its
work with the natives of Af­rica,
he knew that he wanted
to devote his life to helping
these people. Against t he
judgment of his close friends,
he entered medical school at
the age of 30 (1905) and six
years later emerged an M.D.
Now he could go to Africa and
start the hospital which he
had decided to do.
So on March 26, 1913, he
and his wife (a qualified
nurse) set out for Larhberene,
Africa. A large portion of this
endeavor was financed with
money he had earned from his
BY NADINE BEACH
lectures and concerts. But the
work had not progressed far
before the outbreak of World
War I.. During that time he
was made a prisoner of war,
almost dying in a concentra-r
tion camp. After the war this
inspiring man worked several
years and saved his small in­come
in order to again return
and start his work in Lam-borene.
Finally, his wish was
fulfilled. Today the hospital
has a staff of approximately
80 persons.
The life thus far described
is that of Albert Schweitzer,
winner of the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1957. Mr. Sweitzer has
lived the lives of many men
and now at 84 continues to
carry on his dedicated works.
He acts as teacher, builder,
planner and designer for the
natives in Lamborene and al­so
teaches them a simple
Christianity. Three outstand­ing
beliefs are an integral part
of his )ife. These beliefs are
"Reverance for life; thou shall
not kill; and love of mercy."
On February 1, 2 and 3, a
motion p i c t u r e of Albert
Schweitzer's life will be shown
at the War Eagle Theatre. This
film is an inspirational and
moving story of the life of a
great man. See it!!!

A COLUMN
Rebuttal
When this column seeks ap­probation
in the hammered thesis
that a complementary general ed­ucation
allows today's engineer
to best apply himself, it does so
sincerely. And it expects, per­haps
too optimistically, a sane
reaction. No attempt has been
made to "expose" the poorly edu­cated
engineer—the poorly edu­cated
engineer obviously is quite
capable of exposing himself—but
rather to criticise this unfortu­nate's
curriculum.
This column has no quarrel
with the engineer himself. He,
for the most part, is a reasonable
opportunist who has been in-noculated
early in his years
against the liberal arts and oth­er
such unmanly things. He is
the victim. What this column
must deplore is the agent.
There are few educators who
will not emphasize the impor­tance
of a full and general edu­cation
for the engineer. But there
are too few who currently par­ticipate
in programs facilitating
such a curriculum. Why they do
not, or can not, is probably ex­plainable,
particularly in an in­stitution
hand-cuffed and unfor­tunately
dependent upon legisla­tive
nonsense and alumnic whim.
But explainable or not, the sad
fact is that the schism between
the arts and the technologies has
widened. Case in point is the col­lege
student with one or two
years in liberal arts who desires
to transfer to engineering only
to find that he will receive no
credit and a renewal of fresh-manhood
for h i s efforts and
vice-versa. This illustrates the
peculiar lack of common ground
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
between an engineering and a
liberal arts education.
The engineer who is not a gen-eralist
first and a specialist sec-and
loses his frame of reference.
If he is somewhat perservering
he can become the rather shal­low
specialist that most of his
colleagues are. If the engineer is
inquisitive and creative, and am­bitious
enough to expose himself
to the non-technical things out­side
his curriculum, he can be­come
the generalist—then the
specialist. He can become the ap­propriate
man.
Charles F. Kettering, a very
credible source, said in a recent
talk: "There is a phase of edu­cation
which is knowing some­thing
about a lot of things, which
is in contrast to knowing a lot
about a lot of things, which is in
contrast to knowing a lot about
something . . . But on account of
higher specialization we have
neglected very greatly the ques­tion
of knowing something about
a lot of things. Those who are not
too highly specialized are fre­quently
the people who overcome
their difficulties and become the
managers and executives of in­dustries
. . ."
When someone tells you that
the jack-of-all trades went out
with the horse and buggy, you
may judge fairly accurately that
this someone is pitiable in his at­tempt
to justify his narrow-ness
and that he is a sad mis-interpre-tor.
But when you are asked to
believe that the successful engi­neer
of today is apt to be a man
of sound basic knowledge and
broad social outlook as well as
one of specific skills, you can
hardly deny the obvious.
All last week I was broke. That
excursion to Montgomery where
Auburn squeezed past Alabama's
basketball squad had drained me
of my last resource. So it was
with great anxiety that I awaited
a letter from home, replinishing
my 33 cent bank balance. Finally
on Friday, my dad's letter ar­rived.
But after I had ripped it open,
I quickly learned that the small
bill rationed me to last until
February wasn't the most signi­ficant
content. Midway down
page two, my father told me,
"Son, Mrs. Johns is dead."
My only surprise was that our
ancient, wrinkled Atlanta neigh­bor
hadn't passed sooner. Then
I started some serious thought.
I began to apply the self-centered
story of Mrs. Johns to many of
my acquaintances. Frightfully, I
could not help including myself.
In her youth, Mrs. Johns was
the belle of Cincinnati's social
scene. Fair of skin and face, she
was regarded as one of the most
outstanding amateur artists of
her city, as I've been told.
Cincinnati began to bore this
young beauty, so she asked her
wealthy husband for a sizeable
allowance and a leave of absence.
Europe was her destination.
There she would study under the
famed contempory masters. The
ambitious Mrs. Johns felt that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
In reference to Mr. Towery's
article in the January 14 Plains­man,
I would like to submit the
following opinions.
Before we get too carried away
with this movement to make every
engineer a literary critic, I would
like to say something for the other
side.
I was advised to come to Au­burn
by the head of the Engineer­ing
Department, plant personnel
director, and the assistant plant
manager of the plant where I was
employed. This advice was against
my own inclination to attend the
university of my home state,
which boasts a five year "liberal"
engineering curriculum. Upon
learning that I intended to at­tend
this university, these men,
none of whom are Auburn grad­uates,
took time out from the
heavy load of managing a two
hundred and fifty million dollar
textile plant to impress upon me
the ' importance of an engineer
knowing engineering material, and
of course, the practical aspect of
attaining this knowledge in the
shortest possible time. Considering
these requirements, they recom­mended
Auburn.
They informed me that they had
repeatedly sent delegations to the
home state university in an effort
to have certain engineering cour-ss,
which they felt an engineer
needed in order to be useful to
them, installed. The engineering
courses were always displaced by
such cultural subjects as The Art
Of Table Setting and Art Deprec­iation,
and the like.
Needless to say, at this point,
employing some eight thousand
people, Auburn's "specialized" en­gineers
get far more consideration
upon graduation than the home­grown,
"liberally" educated var­iety.
The engineer must produce! The
consumer who buys the company's
product doesn't care whether he
read Homer or not. When I get
into my automobile I want it to
take me where I want to go, not
give a lecture on the virtues of
capitalism. When a company sells
a hundred-thousand dollars worth
of yarn to a cloth manufacturer
and the cloth will not dye, tha..
company buys it back. The cloth
manufacturer doesn't say, "That
is okay. I will take the lops, be­cause
the engineer who didn't
know what he was doing does
know the differenpe between Ba­roque
and Nfio-Classical Eras."
I would like to point out that
my experience in private industry
is limited to four years, and all
of this was with one concern. I
am qualified to speak only of this
plant and this experience, without
lifting quotations from others.
I saw no quotation marks in Mr.
Towery's article, so I assume the
remarks are his own. I saw no
mention of an opinion, so I assume
that he believes his statements to
be factual. I would therefore like
to know which engineers Mr.
Towery has worked with, or em­ployed,
and in what manner he
has found them lacking, or is it
the modern fashion for Architec­tural
students to design engineer­ing
curriculums.
Let the boys from Biggin dream
it up, we can build it and make it
work without Mozart, Picasso, and
Homer . . . or Jethroe.
Yours truly,
Harold Scarborough
her artistic ability, she could
someday become a great profes­sional.
"Money and fame were all she
thought of," said her brother on
a recent trip to Atlanta. "I knew
all along that she'd never get it.
Not even her great talent and
tireless desire could swing it for
her," he added. "She was too
blasted selfish for her own good."
As predicted, Mrs. Johns never
fulfilled her potential. Fully wrap­ped
up in herself, she failed to find
the chance. Some elderly neigh­bors
from up the road told me that
she worried so often over the
quality of work produced by her
competitors, that she never was
in condition to do justice to her
own painting.
Finally, as she approached old
age, Mrs. Johns was forced to
give up her profession and pas­time.
The jealous cravings which
it wrought were too much for
her aging body and mind to with­stand.
She began to pick away at her
husband, transferring her hatred
from successful artists to her own
marital companion. Soon Mr.
Johns began to add flame to the
fire. Constant furors, carried on
at maximum volume of their
voices were a daily torture to
my family and the surrounding
residents. As time progressed, it
got far worse. Then, just before
I came to Auburn, the racket fi­nally
subsided. It had taken them
BY JIM PHILLIPS
ten years of bickering to wear
each other out. Both were then
invalid, and I imagine that each
realized life had been a total
waste, when it could have been
a thing of beauty.
We perpetually entertain the
notion, "If I don't admire myself,
who will?" Certainly that state­ment
has its value. But we often
carry it more than just a step
too far. Who can say that exces­sive
selfishness won't catch up
with anyone?
To steer clear of the same fa­tal
results which we've all seen
occur in countless people, we
must remove much of the empha­sis
from ourselves and rightfully
place it on our fellow man. I
don't pretend to be a philoso­pher,
and I certainly must begin
to follow my own advice. My
mother's words s t r u c k home
when she summed up her views
of life's purpose, "Happiness is
all there really is in life, son. It's
made up of a lot of things, but
the main component is how much
you do for others. It's not impos­sible
to make T the least impor­tant
word in our language, but
it's vastly important that we do."
Logical thinking backs her up.
The results of self-centeredness
are evident in this column. Hap­piness
is the result of deempha-sizing
"Number One." And be­lieve
me, happiness speaks for it­self!
THE AUBURN DORM MOTHER
When I entered API, I had
never been away from home for
any real length of time, and I
will have to admit that I was a
bit dubious about how w e l l I
would get along away from my
family. Very soon I learned that
I had a part of my family with
me.
The housemother of any dorm
on the campus has a responsibili­ty
bigger than a real mother, for
she has to worry for herself about
every girl under her guidance as
well as worry for every girl's
family. Very briefly her job con­sists
of timing, warning, watch­ing,
checking, comforting, consol­ing,
and loving every girl under
her hawk eyes and gentle hands.
A dorm mother needs courage.
Guardian Angel
To face the constant chatter, the
undying complaints, the radical
requests, and never ceasing prob­lems
of adult young ladies re­quires
fortitude beyond the call
of duty. These every-day prob­lems
must be faced with a type
of bravery few men throughout
the history of our universe can
claim.
These women, the monarchs of
our college home, must either
stand up or crack up under the
stress and strain of those trivial
and enormous problems that they
are forced to solve every day. Pa­tience
and endurance are the an­swers
to the question, "How do
we manage to keep most of our
housemothers?"
,' • . l U l i t l l *.i.
To love a girl-faced-~WTfcrr-the
BY LINDA TELLER
problem of love, studies, outside
activities, homesickness, and
roommate trouble enlists under­standing.
These are the least of
the difficulties most average
girls encounter, and the wonder­ful
woman who with a kind word
or a sweet smile can say that she
knows and understands endears
herself forever in the hearts of
all girls who live in her presence
for just a few months.
Courage, patience, understand­ing,
and love are only a few of
the virtues, traits, or miracles
possessed by a dorm mother. Her
advice is solicited for everything
from what course to take to
which boy to marry. She is a
martyr to the cause of growing
up; she is the mother away from
mother.
AUBURN'S "KIDS" DISAGREE
Movies Were Made To Watch!
The movie theaters are prob­ably
Auburn's chief entertain­ment
medium for students and
townspeople alike. We are for­tunate
to get first-class movies
a large part of the time, and they
usually draw sizeable crowds.
These people have not paid to
hear pseudo-comedians exercise
their questionable talent with
loud wisecracks from the aud­ience.
This sort of thing has been go­ing
on in Auburn for years, much
to the displeasure of moviegoers
who like to hear, as well as see,
the action on the screen. The peo­ple
who are guilty would, no
doubt, frown on someone who
made cracks at a person giving
a speech to an audience. Is there
really any difference? Both mo­viegoers
and audiences are us­ually
present to be either enter­tained
or informed. Loud wise­cracks
show rudeness and a glar­ing
lack of manners.
However, this showy display
can in no way compare to the im­mature,
childlike demonstrations
that take place at the late show
where brilliant undergrads exhibit
their bravery for everyone to see
by filling the air with folded pop­corn
boxes. Thus for ten minutes
before the movie begins, one
must either wait outside or brave
the airborne missiles. This could
be interpreted as an argument
for the return of the old-fash­ioned
popcorn bag.
Other than poor training at
BY BOBBY HARPER
home in' manners, there is only
one other explanation that seems
to justify this behavior. These
people are studying too hard, and
on Saturday night they let off
steam that has accumulated for
five consecutive days of concen­trated
learning. One can tell, by
observing these pent-up, relaxa­tion-
starved, unaccredited young
engineers, that they are in need
of some type of outlet. But why
does it have to be the movies?
Why can't they stage a weekly
panty-raid, or swallow goldfish,
or indulge excessively in wine,
women and song as they do on
other campuses? There is no ex­cuse
for these juvenile outbursts.
They should be stopped before
they get completely out of hand.
A FURTHER GREEK INVESTIGATION
Challenging Purposes Prevent "Giving Up"
"Fraternities aren't contribut­ing
what they should. Why don't
ney just give up?" was a ques­tion
raised in this column last
week. Today's column will be de­voted
to answering that question.
C e r t a i n l y , the opportunity
found in giving up the cause and
possibly gaining more leisure time.
for fraternity men, is a tantaliz­ing
one. But to "chuck it all" is
to admit defeat and deny the
possibility of giving purpose to
the fraternity system.
Admittedly, it is true that fra­ternities
are capable of contri­buting
vastly more to the welfare
of their college and communities
than they now do, but the unaf­filiated
"third degree men" would
have fraternities to just gain
more leisure time, and let them
contribute even less than they do
now. What the doubters fail to
realize is that an opportunity
exists to make of fraternities
more potent instruments for ef­fective
education through group
living. To pass up that chance is
for the fraternity system to be a
coward or "chucker."
What if teachers, upon viewing
the "ignorant" students before
them at the first class in a new
quarter, took that same attitude?
They would merely Walk out of
the classroom refusing to talk to
"dumb" students, and our wheels
of education would clank to a
stop. So just as the teacher deems
it his duty to attempt to "edu­cate"
his "dumb" students, the
fraternity man realizes that, to
give his fraternity a purpose, he
and his comrades must consist­ently
"teach" in an effort to
guide the fraternity toward a
greater usefulness.
Oh, but some of us say we can
never reach perfection, and ask
what is the use of beating our
heads against the wall trying.
Anything worth attaining in­volves
hard work and the end
often fades out of sight, but we
keep right on trying.
Even some fraternity men say
that they are not the hell-raisers
of their prototypes, but is that
any reason for them to rest on
their laurels, and cease to strive
for a better thing? No. True,
there would be no more absurd
statement than for the fraterni­ties
to say that they could reach
perfection, but they must con­tinue
their striving toward that
goal.
How can fraternities go about
bettering their lot? There are
many approaches, but first of all
we must brush away certain
BY TIM BATTLE
sticky cobwebs of thought which
do nothing more than impede the
fraternities' progress. For exam­ple,
when the fraternity pays less
attention to the fact that Harry
Halfback, Ail-American, is a
fraternity man; when we cease
bragging that a certain celebrity
is a member of old Xi Xi; when
advertising agencies stop exploit­ing
the fraternity world in their
advertisements; and when fra­ternity
men start thinking more
of their responsibilities than of
their privileges, only then will
fraternities have turned their at­tention
toward their true pur­pose.
Impossible, you say? Improb­able
would perhaps be the better
word to describe the removal of
the above cobwebs.
Most groups founded for the
purpose of doing some particular
good thing for mankind lack
what fraternities have in abun­dance.
That is "organization," and
because the fraternity system is
having an effective organization,
it should strive in every way pos­sible
to attain its true purpose,
the "acquisition of a sound edu­cation."
That is what the frater­nity
system of today is striving
to do, and that is the answer to
"Why don't they just give up?"

Plans Being Made
For A Greek's Inn
For All Fraternities
Plans are being made to build
an Inn for all the fraternities on
campus. These plans have been
initiated under the guidance of
Roy Abel. Pi Kappa Phi mem­ber.
The sororities as well as the
fraternities should benefit from
this project because the Greeks'
Inn, as it has been named, will
be rented to both groups. The
Inn should serve as a substitute
party room for the frat houses.
Date nights will be planned, and
this should serve to bi-ing about a
better relationship between all the
fraternities.
A business man from Colum­bus,
Ga., has offered to buy most
of the stock and back this pro­ject
if the fraternities on cam­pus
will show a need and interest
by investing themselves in the
project.
The site of the building has
not been decided upon, but plans
for the structure itself have been
made. It will have a ballroom
big enough to hold 200 to 250
people. There will be ample room
for a hi-fi party or a combo.
There will be two lounges in the
back, and storage space for dec­orations,
etc. will be provided.
If this project works out as
planned this- should be a won
derful place for formals, infor
mal parties, pledge swaps, and
date nights. The Greeks' Inn will
be rented, and in the long run
should be an asset to the frater
nities which invest in it now.

Of A iling School
Dean Gives Fund Drive Credit
For Recent Corrective Measures
By Roy Bain
Re-accreditation programs for electrical and mechanical
engineering have made outstanding progress, a t t r i b u t e d main­ly
to t h e Emergency Fund.
Dean Pumphrey, of t h e School of Engineering, made it
clear that the accrediting agency was not willing to act on t he
basis of temporary funds. He also
indicated that he did not think
that the engineering departments
could pass accreditation inspec­tion
until the legislature pro­vided
sufficient funds of a per­manent
mature.
To providr an understanding
of the actual measures being ta­ken
for re-accreditation, Dean
Pumphrey outlined the criticisms
and the corrective actions which
have been made.
The admission policy is too
liberal, allowing inadequately
prepared students to lower the
quality of the course content. To
correct this there has been a pre-engineering
program set up in
the school of science and litera­ture.
The . student must qualify
while in pre-engineering and on­ly
those who have satisfactorily
completed this program will be
admitted. Each student must be
admitted by an admission com­mittee.
Courses in Machine Design
have not been under the control
of the Mechanical Engineering
Department, but the Spring
Quarter of this year will see them
transferred to the ME depart­ment.
The Electrical Engineering cur­riculum
did not include dynamics
or thermodynamics. The revised
curricula will have a broader
coverage in the various engineer^
ing sciences.
Curricula in electrical and me­chanical
engineering are being
strengthened in the area of the
humanities and social studies. A
carefully planned program of
"General Education" has been
approved end is awaiting legis­lative
appropriations for the ad­ditional
staff which it requires.
The main criticism of the engi­neering
department was the in­adequate
faculty. The teaching
staff is overloaded, the teachers
are prevented further profes­sional
development by year-round
teaching and salary struc­ture
is too low to hold the pres­ent
staff and inadequate to en­large
the staff.
Through the Emergency Fund,
16 more staff members were em­ployed
in the Fall of 1958 than
were available in 1957. Two of
these men hold PhD degrees. Two
additional instructors are being
added in the current quarter. One
more will be available in the fall
of 1959 and four more are under
recruitment.
The Board of Trustees author­ized
two increases in salary
scales, and a number of increases
were given to the present staff.
To attract men with PhD degrees
additional funds will be neces­sary.
Adequate staff will elimi­nate
year-round teaching.
Direct criticism of the scien­tific
supporting departments of
mathematics, chemistry, and phy­sics
was not stressed. However,
it has been reported that these
departments are facing personnel
and space problems. They will be
under critical observation by the
inspection committee, in connec­tion
with the engineering accred­itation.
In the words of Dean Pumph­rey,
"Qualitatively we have made
excellent progress, thanks to the
alumni and industry through the
Emergency Fund.

TRYING OUT FOR THE SPRING SHOW can be a lot of fun
say these five Auburn students who have taken time out from
their studies to make their bid for a part in the annual spring
production. The show is written, directed, and produced by stu­dents
as well as having an entirely student cast.
Father Sebastian Hill began a
five week series of lectures on
philosophy last night at the Sa­cred
Heart Student Center on
South Gay Street. The one hour
talks, sponsored by the Newman
Club, will continue every Thurs­day
night at 7 p.m. through Feb­ruary.
A group of students, faculty,
and townspeople, both Catholic
and non-Catholic heard Father
Hill speak on "Philosophy, the
Science of Sciences." The forth­coming
topics are: Feb. 3—"Lo­gic,
the Science of Correct Think­ing;"
Feb. 10—"Metaphysics, the
Common Denominator of All
Sciences;" Feb. 17—"Man, the
Noblest Creature—Rational Psy­chology;"
Feb. 24—"Man and So­ciety—
Social Ethics."
The Newman Club is sponsor­ing
the series open to Catholics
and non-Catholics both on and
off campus. Father Hill is givi-ing
the lectures at the invitation
of Father Doran, chaplain of the
Newman Club, an organization
for Catholic students attending a
non-sectarian college.
Father Doran said, "We are
very pleased to have Father Hill
here. The lectures can help an­swer
a definite need, and should
be of interest to all. Anyone in­terested
is invited to attend."

While football coaches are making whistle stop speeches over
the state and the players are running in sweat clothes getting
ready for the coming Spring training in a couple of weeks,
Auburn's basketballing Tigers continue to roll up victories.
Last week I said they had their biggest ones coming up and
it would be "a hard row to hoe," but those basketeers couldn't
have begun in better fashion than an 81-61 rout of the Georgia
Bulldogs—and they were certainly not considered the pushover
of the remaining schedule.
A big factor in that 24 game unbeaten streak and a good
reason why Auburn is rated number five in the nation could
be the tremendous job the sophomores are doing for Coach Joel
Eaves.
You can't name one without naming all three of them.
Jimmy Fibbe and David Vaughn at the forward spots and
the remarkable Porter Gilbert, who's manning the No. 6 berth
on the Tiger team.
Gilbert, who looks anthing but a Southeastern conference
athlete, is a very illusive six foot one inch guard. The remark
concerning Porter's looks is not to be misinterpreted. Any coach,
trainer or follower of sports will quickly tell you college athletics,
most of all SEC sports, doesn't seem to be the place for a lanky
150 pounder.
Coach Eaves has an eye for outstanding basketball players
and the risk of signing a lightweight to the roster was a very
minor thought to him.
Until this day, the tall greying basketball coach has never
regretted the inking of the contract.
Gilbert has been all but a little man to the Tiger winning
season. A demon in the backcourt and a vicious hard driving
guard with a lot of determination will soon catapault this young
man to the top of the SEC greats in the game of basketball.
His size has failed to keep him from being in the upper half, of

'Red Hot' Tigers Make All-Important Road Trip
The Chance All The SEC Awaits
Begins On Saturday Night
By Lance Hearn
Plainsman Sports Writer
This week the fifth ranked Plainsmen hit the trail, hop­ing
to have 26 notches on their guns when they return. On
Saturday, Jan. 31, they face the "land-locked Commodores"
of Vanderbilt in Nashville. Tuesday, Feb. 3, they journey
to Atlanta to meet Georgia Tech. Two big wins would put
them on the top of the SEC heap.
For the first time this sea­son,
Auburn will be playing on
completely foreign courts. That
is, they will be playing to hostile
crowds, ones that will be pull­ing
for Auburn upsets. Nashville
was the site of the Kentucky up­set
by Vanderbilt, and we all
remember what happened dur­ing
the pigskin season at A t ­lanta.
The Commodores, a l w a ys
tough under Coach Bob Polk,
are spedy, tall, and deep in r e ­serves.
The "middy" who will
rate special attention is 6-0
senior, Jim Henry, an alert and
fleet-mooted competitor w ho
can score and is tenacious on
defense. Others who will bear
close watching are 6-4 Hub
Houghland, No. 2 scorer; 6-5
Jack Perrie, and 6-6 Don Hin-ton,
both capable rebounders;
and 6-4 Ben Howan, who can
leap, too. Doug Yates, 6-3 junior,
will be used frequently in relief.
The Commodores, a good scor­ing
tarn, use both the fast break
and pattern play, and will have
had two weks of rest by the time
they meet the Tigers.
The "Dark Horse" of the SEC,
the Georgia Tech Yellow Jac­kets
have good balance and an
exceptionally capable bench.
Their deficiency in over-all size
has been completely forgotten
by this speedy, hot-shooting
squad. Wayne Richards, 6-7 has
been filling the pivot spot and
has developed into an all-around
player. Bud Blemker and Terry
Randall, Coach "Whack" Hyd-er's
high scoring pair of guards,
will be out to kep their scoring
averages in the double figures
and at the same time better the
performance they gave at A u ­burn.
Randall helped light up the
scoreboard with 25 points, while
Blemker connected with 10
points. Dave Denton one of the
better forwards in the SEC, will
not soon be forgotten by War
Eagle fans. His driving lay-up
and ensuing foul shot gave the
Yellow Jackets their first half
lead. Roger Kaiser, a soph des­cribed
by Hyder as a "sensation­al
sharp-shooter," very disap­pointed
with scoring only 8
points, will be out to make
amends;
With a few more breaks and
a lot more team shooting, these
boys from Techland might well
gain an early lead and keep it,
rather than losing it in the last
five minutes.

A phenomenal, red-hot, Tiger
team, met the best the state of
Georgia had to offer and r e ­mained
the nation's only un­beaten
major college basketball
team as they defeated Georgia
Tech and Georgia.
In one of the most tension
filled games ever played in the
Sports Arena, the fast breaking
Tigers waited until the final five
minutes before putting their
23rd straight victory on ice.
Auburn led 12 times, trailed 10
others, and shared four team
ties, before taking a 66-55 w in
over Georgia Tech.
Guard Terry Randall, work­ing
like a well oiled machine,
threatened to personally put a
stop to the Tigers win streak,
as he poured 25 points through
the hoop. Randall, shooting a
soft, high arching type of. ball,
made 10 out of 12 from the field
and sank five of six from the
free throw line.
Auburn's superiority came
as a result of working the
"where did my man go?"'
shuffle and all-round team play.

for Tech. As usual Auburn dis­played
a well balanced attack.
Hart sparked the attack with
16 points, Lee sank 14, Vaughn

Tigers connected for 53.6 per

Unbeatens Wane; Overtimes Flourish » i P
By RONNIE HARRIS
Intramurals Sports Editor
Intramural teams polished up
their offenses last week as the
undefeated ranks were thinned
to elevep teams. The Wild Childs
started things off with a one­sided
96-14 triumph over Div. F
as Beason hit for 26 points. Then
the Sharks came along with a
101-59 effort against the Jokers
with Davis popping a season
high-of 58 Roints. The rumor got
around that this was a new team
scoring record. A quick check of
the record shows otherwise. TC
managed 104 points against TKE
back in 1955.
Elsewhere across the Independ­ent
scene, three overtime con­tests
were recorded. Newman
Club up-ended unbeaten BSU
due to the 19 point effort by
Johnny Kern. Mueller and
Yamashita again led the high
flying Rebels as they downed
LCA, 45-40. In the third over­time
battle, the Shots edged the
Totes, 34-32.
ASAE moved out in front of
their league with a 57-36 victory
over the Huskies. Kirby topped
ASAE scorers.with 20. The Pill
Pushers from Pharmacy Hill
stayed close on the Rebels' heels
in League 2 by stinging the
Hornets, 29-26.
The important battle between
BSU and Wesley was. called due
to light failur during the storm
last week. BSU was leading, 84-
25. Several other games also had
to be called..
Four teams remain unbeaten
in the dorm leagues. In addition
to the Wild Childs, Divs. R, L,
and AH2 also have registered all
wins. R was victorious oyer I,
31-17, with Burkshart and Coble
leading the way. Div. L picked
up two wins during the weeks
over W and E respectively.

\ The shuffling Auburn Tigers added Georgia Tech to their
Victory skein last Wednesday night by the score of 66-55. But not
before the longest winning streak in college basketball had re­ceived
an Unforgettable scare from a 5 ft. 10 in. guard from
Columbia, Kentucky.
Terry Randall, an offensive demon, poured 25 points through
the nets and played a terrific floor game. Randall with an un­stoppable
jump shot kept Tech right beside of Auburn until the
last three minutes.
The amazing Randall did not miss a field goal until the last
two minutes of. the first half. He sank six of eight before half
time, and 10 of 12 in the game.
. Tfo one has put on such a show in the Sports Arena in a long
time. Not even Bailey Howell could match Randall's performance
for the Tigers. •
The Tech captain is usually a part of a duet with his running
mate, Cowboy Blemker, but this was a solo performance.
Coach Cliff Wells of Tulane had this to say about Blemker
and Randall. "I said it whep they were sophomores, and I'll say
it again now that they're seniors. They are two of the finest
guards in the league, and when they are hot, Tech can give any­one
a tough time."
Freshmen Coach Bill Lynn recently, signed one of the top
basketball prospects in the south to a grant-in-aid to Auburn.
The pjay'er being j im Leonard! a 6 ft. 7 in. center, from Calhoun,
Georgia. Leonard is averaging 23 points per game, and is "just
the best basketball player in Georgia," says his high school coach,
James Hunter.
Coach Hunter gave this description of Leonard. "He is very
fast and he can shoot from anywhere. In fact, he is the best
all-around shot I ever saw in high school." Jim is a marvel of
coordination and is hitting close to 50 per cept of his field goals..
He hit 28 of the first 30 foul shots he had this year.
Auburn meets Vanderbilt Saturday night in Nashville for its
only outing" of the week. Vandy's Jim Henry, victim of a broken
bone in his foot, is ready to resume his rapid pace.
. Both Auburn and Kentucky begin to take the test of a cham­pion
this week, when they go into the rougher part of their road
schedule. Meanwhile, Mississippi State will be casually relaxing
at home, and hoping for some upsets.

"Barefoot Boy with Cheek.")
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SMOOCH
Back in my courting days (the raccoon coat was all the rage,
everybody .was singing Good Morning, Mister Zip Zip Zip, and
young Bonaparte had just: left Corsica), back, I say, in my
courting days, the standard way to melt a girl's heart was to
write poetry to her.
1 1 don't understand" why young men today have abandoned
this gambit. There is nothingllke poetry for moving a difficult
girl. What'B more, poems are ridiculously easy to write. The
range of subjects is endless. You can write a poem about a girl's
hair, her eyes, her lips, her walk, her talk, her clothes—anything
at all. Indeed, one of my most effective love lyrics was called
To Maud's Pencil Bon. It went like this:
ioWiid'sfemlW itwtf.&ttl&is:
In your dear tittle leatherette pencil bos
Are pencils of yellow and red,
And if you don't tell me you love me soon,
I'll hit you on top of the head.
Honesty compels me to admit that this poem fell short of
success. Nothing daunted, I wrote another one. This time I
pulled a switch; I threatened myself instead of Maud.
Oh, Maud, pray stop this drivel
And tell me you'll be mine,:.. .
For my sweetbreads they do shrivel
And wind around my spine. • •
My heart doth eease its beating,
My spleen uncoils and warps,
My liver, stops secreting
Soon I needs be a corpse.
When this heart-rending ballad failed to win Maud, I could
only conclude that she was cruel and heartless and I was better
off without her. Accordingly I took back my Hi-Y pin, bade her
adieu, and have not clapped eyes on her since. Last I heard,
she was working in Galveston as a Plimsoll line.
But I did not mourn Maud long, for after Maud came Doris->-
Doris of the laughing eyes, Doris, of the shimmering hair, Doris
of the golden tibiae! Within moments of meeting her, I whipped
up a torrent of trochaic tetrameter:
Oft, my sweet and dulcet Doris}
I love you like a Philip Morris
With its mild and rich tobacco
In its white and scarlet paek-o.
I'd swim from Louisville to Natchez
For Philip Morris and you and matches.
Well, of course, the dear girl couldht resist a poem like that
—what girl could?—and she instantly became my slave. For
the rest of the semester she carried my books, washed my car,
and cored my apples. There is no telling where it all would
have ended if she hadn't been drafted.
So, men, you can see the power of poetry. Try it yourself. All
you need is a rhyming dictionary, a quill pen, and a second­hand
rnUBO. 9 tU*. Mu Stmlmu
Let's drop rhyme and turn to reason. The reason Marlboro
has gone to the head of the niter cigarette class is simple:
better "makin's"—a Itavor that pleases, a filter that works.
Marlboro—from the makers of Philip Morris.

Auburn scoring, and defensively he can hold down an opponent
standing three inches taller.
Along with Porter comes another lanky soph, Jimmy Fibbe.
A red-shirt last season, this man has done battle with the
biggest and best of them and has managed to come out on top
every time. A leading rebounder and an accurate shooter mark
him as one of the Tigers to watch in the future.
Jimmy possesses probably the best pair of hands in Southern
basketball. He'll be there in the tough spots in the next Tiger
contest—under the boards.
Last but far from least, David Vaughn is the man to watch.
David is the coolest sophomore seen in this conference in a
long while. He is most outstanding when the chips are down.
That's when he starts ripping the nets and adding up the totals.
All in all, with these three guys in the Auburn basketball
lineup, opposing, coaches will be worrying when they come to
town. And this is only the first of three seasons for them.

The badly m i s n o m e r ed
"Spring" football practice wlil
crowd basketball for the head­lines
as it opens February 9,
here on the Plains.
Some 70 candidates, including
20 lettermen from the nations
fourth ranked team are expect­ed
to report to head coach Ralph
Jordan.
Coach Jordan will be looking
over a.fine crop of sophomores
as they prepare for the annual
A-Day game on Saturday after­noon,
March 7.
Gone from the 1958 squad
which held the longest unbeaten
streak in the nation, 24 straight,
are ends Jerry Wilson, Jerry
Hutchinson, and Mike Simmons;
tackles Cleve Wester and Jim
Jeffery; guards Frank LaRussa,
Morris Savage, and Don Bras-well;
center Jimmy Rickets;
quarterback Lloyd Nix; left-halfs
Tommy Lorino and Jimmy
Laster, and righthalf Billy Kit­chens.
Along with the returning
lettermen, ends Joe Leightnam,
Leo Sexton, and Bobby Wasden;
tackles Teddy Foret, Leon My­ers,
Ken Paduch, and Ken Rice;
guards Zeke Smith, G. W. Clapp,
and Haywood Warrick; center
Jackie Burkett; quarterbacks

AH2 bowled over Yl, 37-19 to
jump out front in their league.
Div. O continues to press, win­ning
three straight after an
opening day loss. Red Herring
has been the mainstay for O.
The going has been rugged
on the fraternity front where
only three teams are undefeated.
One of the top games of. the
week saw SPE thumping SAE,
57-33. It was the first loss for
SAE, SPE, PKA, and SAE all
are tied for the lead in League r.
Jay Grandy tossed in 15 as
KS moved out front in League
2 with a 41-33 victory over DSP.
TX won their fourth and fifth
games and are way out front
in League 3. The TX gang edged
ATO, 34-33, then came back to
.down TKE, 36-27. Brakefield
was the mainstay for TX.
TC is out front in League 4 but
can't pull away from DC. TC
notched two Wins during the
week, the first being a 44-32
triumph over PDT. Later in the
week, Hunt and Story led TC
over SC by a 45-31 margin. DC
also beat the SC crew, 59-26,
with Brooks making 20. PKT
became the second DC victim of
the week, 34-32.
It's same to bet that next
week there. wil be even fewer
unbeaten teams among t h e
ranks.

Foul line shooting was the de­cisive
factor in the iger victory,
contributing 31 points to the
cause. Sophomore Ray Groover
led the foul line attack by hit­ting
all eight of his free throw*.
Henry Hart sank seven of nine
and Rex Frederick made six of
eight.
Auburn took a 7-5 lead with
14:40 remaining in the f i r s t half.
In the second half, Georgia twice
pulled within eight points of the
Tigers. With the score 56-48,
Auburn got hot and hit f o r 12
consecutive points while Geor­gia
was held scoreless. From
then, on Fibbe, Lee, Hart, Fred­erick,

For the sophs especially, it
will be a period of trial and

Robbs and Harvard, both out

their full participation is doubt­ful.
With the main concentration

Recapturing the serenity
of a time, long ago
Sometimes on a quiet street of a sequestered village, one
can sense the tranquility of yesteryear's simple life and
sturdy virtues. Today's pace is faster, its problems more
complex, but the virtue of thrift, so esteemed by our fore­bears,
can still contribute most importantly to our peace
of mind. Systematic saving remains today as always,
the keystone of happy, contented living.

POPULARITY SURVEYS
Thinklish translation: This fellow knows more about polls than a telephone
lineman. When someone starts, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here!"—he counts
noses to make sure. If he canvassed women, he'd be a galculator. If he
totted up crimes of violence, he'd be a stabulator. Actually, he checks on
the popularity of Luckies, and that makes him a lauditor! His latest survey
makes this heartwarming point: Students who want the honest taste of
fine tobacco are unanimously for Lucky Strike!
