Running for President of WSGA
Bridge Tournament
Set For Spring
By DALE BURSON
Plans are now underway for the
thirteenth annual National Inter­collegiate
Bridge Tournament to
be held locally the first week of
spring quarter at the Union Build­ing.
More than seven hundred and
fifty accredited colleges from over
the United States will participate
this year in what promises to be
the most successful tournament
ever.
Open to all undergraduate stu­dents,
the contest offers an inter­esting
and pleasant diversion from
regular academic activities. It is
unique in college competition in
that it is one of the few inter­collegiate
events in which men
and women can compete on an
equal basis. Players must enter
in pairs, at the cost of seventy-five
cents per person. This fee helps
to cover the expenses incurred in
the preparation and printing of the
hands and scoring.
A set of sixteen hands will be
played. These are prepared, by Mr.
Geoffrey Mott-Smith, noted' au­thority
on contract bridge. Mrs.
E. A. Kreilick, of Columbus, Ga.,
has been chosen as the local tour­nament
director.
Those entering will be compet­ing
for national honors for their
schools as well as for themselves.
Cups will be awarded to the win­ning
schools, to be kept for one
year. The individual winners will
also receive cups for their per­manent
possession. National rat­ings
and honor points will also be
given.

Lambda Chi, Alpha Gam Take Skit Night's Top Laurels After 21 Minutes
As Record-Breaking Attendance Recorded By Sponsors
'Loveliest of the Plains'
By BURTON PEARSON
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority's
version of the TV show, Gun
Smoke, and Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity's examples of entertain­ment
at Auburn were judged the
winners of Skit Night.
Alpha Omicron Pi was the sor­ority
winner last year. Lambda
Chi also was the fraternity win­ner
a year ago.
Alpha Delta Pi took second
place and Kappa Delta won third
place in sorority competition.
Among fraternities, Phi Kappa
Alpha placed second and Sigma
Pi was third. Fourteen fraterni­ties
and six sororities participated
in Skit Night, which was held
last week in the Union Ballroom.
Skits were based mainly on
campus life at Auburn with oc­casional
references to literature
and TV programs being used.
Campus topics — dramtized — in­cluded
a trip to the infirmary, late
movies, the concert and lecture
series, and the film, "This is Au­burn"
which was shown in con­nection
with the Auburn football
game film on TV last fall~; M •.—•
Judging of the skits was based
on originality, continuity, presen­tation,
and timeliness with each
being rated excellent, good, fair,
or poor in each category.
The judges were Mrs. Ruth
Brittin, assistant to the dean of
graduate school; Mrs. Melba Dome
of the speech department, and Mr.
Robert Knowles of the dramatic
arts, department. Billy Jordan and
George Wendell emceed the show.
Skit Night is sponsored jointly
by Mortar Board, senior women's
honorary, and Blue Key, men's
leadership h o n o r a r y . Proceeds
from the show, which was attend­ed
by near capacity crowds, will
go to worthy campus projects.
Entertainment between skits
was provided by the Plainsmen
Quartet, Women's Octet, The
Chancers, Coed Trio, The Crew-necks,
and Toni Tennille.
The 1,800 tickets for the King­ston
Trio performance at the Stu­dent
Activities Building were sold
out within 21 minutes after they
went on sale Thursday, Feb. 19.
As a result, an estimated 600 peo­ple,
will be unable to see the trio
unless another performance is
scheduled.
Representatives from Auburn
Hall, Magnolia Hall, Genelda Hall,
and C. and C. Dorm purchased
tickets for their respective resi­dents
in blocks, thereby providing
many of the independents with
admission to the show. The esti­mated
600 people unable to obtain
tickets were primarily from frat­ernities.
ODK and Blue Key have indi­cated
the possibility of a special
matinee performance if they can
be assured of selling 1200 or more
tickets. If. they are unable to get
pledges for this number of tickets
the financial loss will be too great
for the organizations to absorb.

only the Ugly Man Key but also various gifts from local mer­chants.
Delta Zeta received a permanent Ugly Man plaque
and a rotating trophy.
THALIA ANDREWS, this week's Lovielst of the Plains, who
seems prepared for the Bama Game, is just the kind of support
any team appreciates. Thalia is a second quarter freshman from

her favorite past time is supporting the Tigers.
New Fraternities
May Colonize Here
The Interfraternity Council is
considering the possibility of
bringing new fraternities to Au­burn.
This was prompted by Har­old
Grant, assistant director of
student affairs, because of the
present decrease in the percent­age
of fraternity men at Auburn.
The number of students is in­creasing,
but the fraternities on
campus cannot increase their
membership to include all those
who would like to become mem­bers
of fraternities. To relieve the
situation, Grant conceived the
idea of more fraternities.
Several national fraternities
were contacted about their in­terest
in colonization at Auburn.
These fraternities sent Grant fav­orable
replies.
The 1FC w a s presented with
the information Grant had re­ceived
and an expansion commit­tee
was appointed. The purpose
of the committee was to investi­gate
the fraternities under con­sideration
and determine which
would be best suited for Auburn.
Lanny Crane, IFC president,
appointed Sammy Ginn, Sonny
Westberry, and Lynn Monroe to
serve on the Expansion Commit­tee.
To become Ugly Man, Rex re­ceived
18,177 votes or $181.77. The
second place winner was B o yd
Cobb with $174.90. Boyd was
sponsored by Pi Beta Phi and
received the second place Ugly
Man Key. Only $10.50 separated
the first and third place winners.
In all, a total of '$1,081.74 was
collected by Alpha Phi Omega in
this year's contest. This compares
favorably with the $811 collected
at the University of Miami. These
proceeds are to be used by Alpha
Phi Omega to make many cam­pus
improvements. The most im­portant
one will be to erect a
flood-lighted site marker in front
of Samford to replace the old
wooden sign. Twelve or fifteen
designs for the marker will be
displayed in the Union lobby, and
students will be polled to deter­mine
which design is preferred.
PLAINSMAN STAFF MEETING
There will be a Plainsman
Staff Meeting tomorrow after­noon
at 4:30 in the Plainsman
Office. This includes both the
news and sports staff. The meet­ing
is quite IMPORTANT.
Local Presbyterian Minister Leaves
To Assume Teaching Post In Richmond
The Rev. John H. Leith, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church for nearly 11 years, preached his last sermon in Au­burn
Sunday, Feb. 22. Dr. Leith has accepted an appointment
as professor of historical theology at Union Theological Semi­nary
in Richmond, Va.
"Love, Grace, and Communion"
was the subject of his final ser­mon,
which he ended by express­ing
his appreciation to the con­gregation
for making his min­istry
here possible.
The congregation honored Dr.
and Mrs. Leith at an open house
in fellowship hall of the church
last Sunday evening.
Dr. Leith came here July 1, 1948
shortly after receiving his Ph.D.
degree from Yale University. The
Presbyterian Church here has en­joyed
a period of tremendous
growth under his ministry.
Significant facts of this expan­sion
were stated in a resolution
adopted unanimously at a congre­gational
meeting last month, at
which the congregation acted of­ficially
upon his resignation. The
same resolution was presented to
East Alabama Presbytery. It fol­lows:
"John Leith came to this church
in July, 1948. How c a n the 11
years of his ministry here be mea­sured?
During this time our mem­bership
has virtually doubled
from 300 to 585. One hundred and
sixty-nine persons were added on
Profession of Faith and 541 on
certificate. Contributions to the
work of the church have more
John H. Leith
than quadrupled from $14,440 to
$61,000 in 1957. Synod contribu­tions
to the student work program
were $2,852 in Dr. Leith's first
year here. In 1958, they totaled
$7,800.
Sanctuary Built
"During his ministry a new sanc­tuary
for worship was completed
in 1953 at a cost JM $250,000. A

Kingston Trio May
Put On Afternoon
Show, If Wanted
Because of a s h o r t a g e of
Kingston Trio tickets, ODK and
Blue Key, are investigating the
idea of having the Trio for an
afternoon performance. If ap­proximately
1,000 persons will
purchase tickets then it will be
likely that the Kingston Trio
will put on an afternoon show.
A poll will be taken in the frat­ernity
houses and by the sen­ators
of Magnolia Hall.
Union To Present

Military Selects
Gerry Spratlin As
Honorary Colonel
The "presentation of Honorary
Colonel Gerry Spratlin, Birming­ham,
Alabama, climaxed the 1959
Military Ball, .which was held
Saturday night in the Student Ac­tivities
Building.
The selection of. the Honorary
Colonel was made by. a panel of
faculty and student judges. Miss
Spratlin, an Air Force candidate,
was chosen from a field of eleven,
which included: Marine Corps:
"Honey" Lamar; Army: Ann Spi-cer,
Martha Dunaway, Judy Full­er,
Gail Turner, and Molly Sarver;
Air Force: Anne Coggan, Mary
Moates . and Betty Underwood;
Navy: Sally McCord.
ROTC cadets and their dates
danced to t h e music of Al
Bellato, bringing to a close a
weekend of festivities including
the Scabbard and Blade Banquet
at Holiday Inn Friday, which was
attended by all branch officers,
their wives, Scabbard and Blade
members and their dates, and the
Cadet Honorary Commanders and
their dates. Colonel Dorney of the
Air Force University at Maxwell
Air Force Base was key speaker.
A NEW HONORARY COMMANDER-that
as much art should go into
building the program as is requir­ed
to project it with an orchestra.
Announced by Boris Sokoloff,
manager of the Orchestra, the
works to be offered here have a
wide appeal and have withstood
the test of thousands of symphony
goers.
The progam to be heard here
will be as follows:
Rossini, Overture to "II Turco
in Italia;" Hadn, Symphony No.
95 in C iMinor; Wagner, Prelude
and "Liebestod" from "Tristan and
Isolde"; Strauss, Tone Poem "Don
Juan," Opus 20; Tchaikovsky,
Overture-Fantasia "Romeo and
Juliet."
Mr. Dorati bases his programs
each new season on a detailed
study of what has gone before. His
aim is to present the great master­pieces
of symphonic repertory in
as great a variety as possible.
Antal Dorati succeeded Dimitri
Mitropoulos as musical director
of the Orchestra, and is now in
his ninth season.
This is the fifty-fifth season of
the Minneapolis Orchestra, the
most widely traveled organization
of- its kind in America. Making
its initial tour in 1906, it has since
played in excess of 3,300 concerts
in more than 500 cities in all parts
oij the U.S. as well as Canada and
Cuba. Last year, the Orchestra
toured the Balkans and India, en­joying
enthusiastic receptions and
also boosting American prestige.
Mr. Sokoloff feels that a great
musical organization best fulfills
its destiny if it plays to audiences
away from home as well as in its
local hall or auditorium. The
home auditorium of the orchestra
is on the University of Minnea­polis
campus.
The Minneapolis Orchestra is
made up of 89 distinguished men
and women, all artists on the in­struments
they play.
The concert is the third event
in the 1958-1959 A.P.I. Lecture
and Concert Series. It will be held
in the Student Activities Build­ing.
Students with I.D. Cards will
be admitted free.
Tickets will be sold only as space
allows, and there will be no re­served
seats.
MISS GERRY SPRATLIN, the new honorary Colonel of the
Auburn ROTC Units, was escorted from the stage by Bob Pea­cock,
commander of Scabbard and Blade, just after the announce­ment
of her selection was made. Miss Spratlin was spon­sored
by the Air Force. ^

A reclassification of two B Zone
sections to A zones will become
effective on March 1. The change
which will Involve 24 parking
spaces, was announced Saturday
by the Traffic Control Commit­tee,
of which Col. Linwood E.
Funchess, director, B.&G., is the
chairman.
The two zones affected will be
the B zones on the eastern side
of Drake Infirmary, involving 15
spaces, and on the immediate
southern side of the L-Building,
involving 9 parking spaces.
Col. Funchess stated that the
primary reason for the change
was the beginning of construc­tion
on March 1 of a new building
directly in front of the Shop
Buildings. "There will be A Zone
spaces taken up for the duration
of construction, which is expect­ed
to be completed by fall quar­ter,"
Col. Funchess explained.
"To counteract this depletion in
faculty parking space, it was
necessary to provide nearby
spaces for the people affected by
the change." He further added,
"The change was made perma­nent
because of a faculty increase
brought about by the new build­ing,
which includes 24 offices for
new faculty members."
The Traffic Control Committee,
composed of four faculty mem­bers
and three student senators,
encourages the misplaced B-Zon-ers
to use the parking spaces
available immediately behind the
Cliff Hare Stadium. It is sincere­ly
hoped by the committee that
its decision will not impose too
great an inconvenience on those
motorists affected by the change.

Our Critics Were Wi 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, February 25, 1959 GILLETTE MOANS.
There have been times in Auburn's ath­letic
history when a win was the exception
rather than the rule, During these times
much of the psychological phenomenon
which we know as Auburn Spirit was de­veloped.
We became known as the school
which lost repeatedly but couldn't be beat­en.
Then a dramtic reversal in our athletic
fortunes occurred. We won by close mar­gins,
we were tied once or twice but we
never lost. The present generation of stu­dents"
here has grown up with that tradi­tion.
In our unbelievable winning streaks the
considerable enthusiasm of the student
body has still exacted praise from critical
observers. But there were those who were
skeptical of our ability to accept defeat
without any consequent lessening of mo­rale.
After all, they said, how much effort
does it take to be happy while you're win­ning.
;••••
And so, there were many predictions
rong
that our first set-back would destroy the
myth of our supremacy of spirit. They
were wrong!
We lost the most important basketball
'game of the year last Saturday night in
Lexington. This was the game which could
have given us national recognition as the
number one basketball power. We lost, so
this recognition will almost assuredly be
withheld until next year.
But the fact is, we are already looking
forward to next year. Defeat, with so much
riding on the outcome, is much sharper
than if this had been another loss in a se­ries.
We therefore maintain that the opti­mism
of the student body shows that we
have weathered a more demoralizing ex­perience
than any of our predecessors.
Physically, Auburn has grown tremen­dously
within a very few years. From an
unknown college we have expanded to a
tremendous university. Our athletic teams
are respected in every sport. The spirit
which has characterized the school for so
long remains unchanged.
Townspeople Complain \
So this is Auburn, "fairest village of the
Plains!" A ride down West Magnolia Ave.
following military drill any Tuesday or
Thursday might cause a bit of disbelief.
Beer cans, cigarette wrappers, Coca-Cola
bottles, and even lunch sacks are found
each drill afternoon, dispersed throughout
the landscape of the West Mag residential
section. Rightfully, our Auburn citizens
demand an abrupt halt to such careless
cadet practices. Facing the task of tiring

Bribe the janitor to let you in,
find a loudspeaker and bivouac it because

It's not that the Kingston Trio will sing
softly at all, but just that the audience, so
used to coming to the Student Act for pep
rallies won't be able to resist exercising
their larynxes. "Whispered" conversations
will reverberate en masse, echoing from
the steel roof and clattering off the doors
until they are loud enough to dampen any
utterance that the well-paid performers
may put forth.

BROADMINDEDNESS.
Hear The Symphony — And That Trio
There comes a time in every
man's life when he must make
an evaluation cf himself, and
I dare say, that should the stu­dents
on this: V;
campus make •
such an eval­uation
at this
point the lack
of interest for
certain cam­pus
activities
would top the
list.
This lack of
interest per­haps
stems from the way we
have been taught in our homes
and high schools. In general,
little or no emphasis is placed
on the more cultural aspects of
our education while we are in
high school. Not often are
there opportunities to attend
concerts, lectures and p l a y s .
For many students this does
not seem such a great loss, for
relatively few persons, at that
age, possess the sensitivity and
understanding which would
enable them to enjoy these
cultural events.
Suddenly upon entering col­lege,
students are afforded a
wealth of opportunities and
perhaps find it hard to under­stand
why so much importance
is placed upon the attendance
at certain concerts or lectures.
At this point two things could
happen, depending upon the
individual. The i n d i v i d u a l
might realize just what he has
been missing and decide that
this part of college life is al­so
necessary, regardless of
what field he might be in—
e n g i n e e r i n g , architecture,
home economics, etc. On the
other hand another student
might feel exactly the opposite
and wonder why he is wasting
his time listening to such fool­ish
music or listening to a lec­ture
which has little or no
meaning to him. This type of
person really has not given
himself of its unimportance
even before attending t h e se
various functions.
On March 3 at 8:15 p.m., the
Minneapolis Symphony Or­chestra
will present a concert
at the Student Activities build­ing.
This orchestra was found­ed
in 1903, and is currently di­rected
by Antal Dorati, who
served as director of the Buda-mmifMMKf
CONFUSES The Mark Of Manhood
Little boys stare, old ladies cast
disapproving glances, and dates
become harder to get. Such are
the problems of the man with the
beard, problems becoming more
familiar to a growing group of
Auburn men. The ranks of the
facial foliage followers are in­creasing
with e v e r y razorless
morning, much to the dismay of
the Auburn coed.
As far as we can tell, the current
beard craze seems to have gotten
its start in progressive Biggin Hall.
N e v e r to be
afraid of trying
something new,
the boys in the
big glass build­ing
have initiat­ed
a mushroom­ing
type of fad
which is becom­ing
surprisingly
popular. T h i s,
coupled with the
anniversary of
Harper
A b e Lincoln's
birthday and the approaching
WdodchOpper's Bali, has placed
the Gillette Company's Auburn
sales in a precarious position.
The beard has idhg been the
sigh 6t full manhood. The bearded
races of mankind, at one time,
held the beard in high honor. Dur­ing
the past few years, however,
it has come to be associated al­most
exclusively with the Bohe­mian
or the Greenwich Village
intellectual. Nevertheless, grow­ing
a beard is currently becoming
a popular pursuit of young men in
the U.S.
There are several types of
beards. Most popular is the Van­dyke*
a natty looking little brush
that comes to a point just below
the chin. Skitch Henderson, of
Steve Allen Show fame, is the
best- example of. this variety.
Most pogonotrophists are aware
of their non-conformity. They us-
BY BOBBY HARPER
ually assume a defensive air when
asked about their whiskers and
reply with statements such as "A
large lion is never seen with a
small mane," or "Beware of wo­men
with beards and men without
them."
Even though walking across
campus is becoming what we
would imagine a House of David
conference to be, it is refreshing
to see young men dare to be dif­ferent.
And the fact that so many
can grow beards is rather surpris­ing.
Of course, they're making sacri­fices.
The good-night kisses are,
no doubt, getting rarer as the
whiskers get longer. But, it's not
so bad when you remember thai
the odds are 3 to 1.they're not get­ting
dates anyway.
So keep growing those beards,
fellas. Remember Fidel!
Allright! Which one of you guys brought

pest Royal Opera House at the
age of 18. This symphony or­chestra
has gained renown the
world over and should present
a magnificent concert.
As a contrast to this type
concert, the Kingston Trio will
present a musicale on the fifth
of March. Already, tickets
have been sold out, The type
of-music furnished by the Trio
is entirely different from that
which will be provided by the
Minneapolis Symphony Or­chestra.
Each concert will, in gen­eral,
attract a different crowd
of students. Wouldn't it be
much better if those Aubur-nites
who plan to attend only
one, would be broad-minded
enough to attend the other?
Our lives were not meant to
be lived one-sided. It is to our
advantage that no single type
of entertainment predominates
in our society. The well-rounded
individual will eval­uate
the benefits to be derived
from both these events and
will realize that each is impor­tant.
The one-sided student
will not realize. Which are
you?
Much has been said concerning
the supposedly non-humanistic
engineer and his terrible plight of
today. Many arguments have ari­sen
here on campus; some have
been of a valid nature; others have
approached the realm of absurdity.
It is toward these "absurd argur-ers"
that this column is directed
in an effort to clear up some of
the misconceptions resulting from
bias and even ignorance of the
matter.
The thoughts contained herein
are not essentially those of. the
columnist, but rather the beliefs
of four young industrialists who
recently visited
our' c a m p u s.
Since these four
men have risen
to p r o m i n e.nt
positions in a
relatively short
time, perhaps it
would be wise to
heed their ad­vice.

hopes that he has faithfully re­produced
their thoughts concern­ing
the "humanistic engineer."
Perhaps 25 years ago, the engi­neer
could have isolated himself
to technology and still have ex­pected
to advance in industry. To­day,
however, his personality det­ermines
to a great extent the
number and rate of promotions he
will receive. To prepare himself
for a career, the engineer must
have not only a "technical" edu­cation
but also a "non-technical"
education. -The latter entails a
brief introduction to subjects in
the liberal arts field, such as Eng­lish,
psychology, ethics, history,
and law, and also participation in
a number of extracurricular acti­vities.
In many engineering colleges,
too many students are forced by
their curricula or take it upon
themselves to concentrate only up­on
courses in a specialized field
of technology. They do not recog­nize
the wonderful opportunity to
study courses that broaden their
interests. An introduction to these
subjects helps to develop a per­sonality
which can adjust to var­ious
situations. These situations,
which may range from working
with a meticulous research advisor
to being on a carefree sales force,
confront the engineer every day. If
he is to receive full co-operation
and thereby be most productive in
his work, he must gain friendship
and confidence of co-workers.
To accomplish this, he must be
able to make his co-workers feel
comfortable in his presence. This
feeling cannot be achieved if the
engineer talks only of his special­ized
field and is possibly not un­derstood.
But he can get to know
each one by talking about their
BY TIM BATTLE
individual interests, whether con­cerning
abstract ideas or personal
hobbies. By finding mutual inter­ests,
the engineer c a n build a
positive relationship with his co­workers.
In college the student should
widen his interests through extra­curricular
activities. These pro­vide
a practical application of his
abilities to get along with people.
Here he meets students who have
one mutual interest, but each of
them have different backgrounds
and various other interests. To
learn about these interests and,
therefore, to get to know these
students, he has to talk in a man­ner
which will make them feel
at ease in his presence.
This ability to communicate with
his co-woi'kers is of great impor­tance
to the engineer. But equally
necessary is the ability to talk to
the layman about engineeririjj. 4 \ ',
convocations for high school and
college students, and at public
meetings, his purpose is usually
to show what has been accom­plished
by some phase of engi­neering.
He can succeed by talk­ing
clearly and in terms of com­mon
. knowledge. Because of the
complex terminology used in en­gineering,
he should guard against
an excessive amount of technical
jargon, which would create the
false impression that engineering
is on a pedestal above other pro­fessions.
Furthermore, the engineer must
possess a skill in writing. Often
only a minority of his work will
be written for specialists in his
field of technology. The great per­centage
may be for progress re­ports
written for the manager of
his firm or for companies with
contracts with his firm. The lan­guage
used for such reports should
be as plain as possible, and ex­planations
quite explicit. Since
many of the people reading these
reports have a limited technical
background and are more inter­ested
in the profits derived from
the experiments than the methods
used, the engineer cannot afford
to present his results in a confus­ing
manner.
Therefore, industry does not
want an engineer to be only a
technical expert. It also expects
a personality which will produce
co-operation among co-workers,
and speaking and writing techni­ques
which can communicate ideas
in an understandable manner. Sur­veys
have shown that less than
15 per cent of the dismissals of
technical employees was due to
technical incompetence, and that
the inability to get along with co­workers
was the chief cause of
dismissal. These persons never de­veloped
that most important asset
—the ability to work with people.
AS I SEE IT
We stumble into class late,
wishing that the covers were
still piled over our dozing fore­heads.
After a dull hour's lecture
and subsequent study assignment,
we saunter through the classroom
door, cursing the very birth of
our adversary, the prof. We never
seem to allot a single instant to
considering how fortunate we are
that the man behind the beaten
podium chose teaching his pro­fession."
For many college instructors,
greener pastures lie elsewhere.
Currently, business and industry
are booming. Demand runs sky-high
for capable personnel. Feel­ers
are a constant temptation to
well-educated faculty members.
Offers designed to jerk them
from the classroom are bolstered
by promises of fat salaries. But
somehow, relatively few teachers
bite. Dedication is the t e r m.
Without it, American education
. . . and America . . . would col­lapse.
To name merely a few outlets,
chemical instructors are a juicy
sight to ambitious visions of our
Unsung Hero
captains of industry. In their
growing concerns, additional tex­tile
engineers, artists, and ac­countants
often fill the employ­ment
"want lists." Thoughts of
success in private practice must
linger on the minds of the better
medical doctors, lawyers, and ar­chitects
engaged in college in­struction.
Government voices its
need for top-notch economists,
zoologists, and parasitologists.
Vast sailary increases, in most
cases, are the bait dangled by
these outside sources. Still, the
majority of today's teachers re­tain
their faculty positions. Why?
Recently, one of the finest in­structors
on campus here an­swered.
Drilling her reply directly
to the point, she said, "We're
teaching because we want to give
college students a glimpse of
what's ahead—in many instances,
their first. If we can arouse them
to face the cold facts—to think lo­gically—
our job is done. That's
ample reward!"
In the realm of our cold war
enemy, the situation is reversed.
Russia's scientific instructors are
BY JIM PHILLIPS
the most highly-paid citizens,
with other teachers just a shade
behind, payroll-wise. Contrary to
the position of American educa­tors,
contemporary sources des-scribe
t h e se
products of the
late Stalin a nd
incumbent Krus-c
h e v regimes,
as t h e f i g ­ures
demanding
ing supreme re­spect
in Soviet
society. On pa-
Phillips per it's amazing
that we stay within reach of them
in every field that we don't head
these Reds in. For this vital par­adox,
credit those to whom it's
due.
School's long, tough, and often
disgusting. But before you curse
the greying fellow at the black­board,
remember his plight . . .
and his opportunities. If it weren't
for him and many other over­worked
folks of the same caliber,
the Kremlin juggernaut m i g ht

appreciate.
FOR EVERYONE...
A Place In The Sun
BY LINDA TELLER
Have you ever made the state­ment,
"I don't have to do a darn
thing but die"? If so, ten to one
says that an action, comparatively
seconds after your burst of indep­endence,
made you see the im­mensity
of your mistake.
All of us wish for the heaven of
doing only what we would like to
do, but we live in a society that
prohibits such a huge amount of
liberty. Philosophers have thought
of this Utopia ever since m en
learned the art of reason and yet,
in all these centuries not one in
a lifetime of thought has provided
the satisfactory answer. Is there
an answer?
No, there is none! You are here
in college to obtain an education.
Is this what you wanted to do; do
you believe you would have been
happier going the way you wished
to go? You were elected president
of your club or fraternity, a very
big honor. Do you like to act the
part of the perfect one; do you
sincerely enjoy every little com­mittee
meeting, every problem
that concerns any part of your
organization? Or would you rather
be one of the ones who has to
listen to the top boss ask every­one
to quiet down, control them­selves,
consider this, or consider
that? Do you hold any position
that restricts you so that you are
forced to do things that you have
to do and do not enjoy rather than
things you would like to do and
do enjoy? Well then, you are one
of the many that the world's eyes
are focused on. You have a re­sponsibility
to do the right thing
at the right time because if you
slip everyone is bound to see it.
Those who . are leaders have
quite a few do's and don'ts, but.
everyone has to miss a dance be­cause
of a chemistry quiz, decline
the invitation to play bridge be­cause
of a book report, or break a
date because of a last minute
paper that must be handed in.
Even the "upper" or "lower Bo­hemians"
whose world, from what
I've heard, is one of not much
of anything are surely restricted
to doing what all the other "up­per"
or "lower Bohemians" be­lieve
is the cor-rect thing to do.
This is a must for any group of
people, for every one of us wants
approval, and hand in hand with
this acceptance walks the problem
of what the accepted thing in one
particular group is.
As you can see, this is a uni­versal
and unavoidable problem.
Although there is no answer, there
is a consolation. The realization
, that there is a
I God and a plan
l e a n make life
: and its respon-
| sibilities m u ch
! easier to take.
\ Every little thing
\ you and I must
I face, we have to
because it is a
part of a unified
plan to help the
entire world work together. Each
life must be significant; each per­son's
plans, hopes, dreams, and
do's and don'ts are of importance
to the millions as a whole. See­ing
simply that each life has a
purpose in being lived should help
in revealing that each responsib­ility
well done is a step nearer to
a better existence for us all.

FORMALS...
Moments To Forget
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
A short but pointed answer to
an article appearing in your paper
which in no small way questioned
the finesse and abilities of an Au­burn
man.
Ode to An Auburn Coed
She learned to love

She learned a Ford would carry

TO graduate
Leroy Peabody
In the future years of rocking
chairs and memories, my fond­est
(?) recollections will be of
sorority and fraternity formals at
API.
These were the evenings when
we were vibrat­ed
( p r o ducing
your own danc­ing
motions is
n o t necessary),
by a b l a r i ng
band in the Un­ion
Ballroom or
h u m m e d our
own tune, at the
Student Activi­ties
B u i l d ing.
They said the band was there but
we never did hear them. However,
the ability to hum is welcome at
any location, since the intermis­sions
usually outnumber t he
dances.
Highlighting every group's lav­ish
affair was the lCadout. Only
a mental lapse could let you for­get
those lines of blinking coup­les
gaily tripping .across,-the spot-
DeRing
light stage to fall over the edge
into the darkness below. The in­dividual
satisfaction gained from
those events was easily under­stood
since, the officers, the sweet­heart
candidates, the senior class,
the junior class, the sophomore
class, the members who live in
the house or dorm, the members
who do not live in the house or
dorm, the outstanding members,
and the not so outstanding mem­bers
in addition to other groups
"come-out" escorting a various
assortment of dates.
It would appear to an outsider
that the few couples remaining on
the dance floor were witnessing
a parade given in their honor.
Most important was the origin­ality
of. the themes: "Mardi Gras"
was found to be so original that
it has been used once a year for
the last thirty years. Another idea
which comes under the heading—
All-Wet—is. the '.'Undersea" or
"Fishnet Hanging on the Stage."
,Then, there were groups which
BY BEFKE DeRING
did not try to be unique, but for
eons have used yellow daffodills,
pink petunia buds, and red nash-turshams
or the equally romantic
and inspiring dream (Girl, Rose,
Sweetheart) sequences.
The aura of mystery which
surrounds the formal favors is
rarely justified. Those joyous
shouts of. "Oh! Another stud box."
"That makes five big fuzzy dogs"
and "Another beer mug" leave no
. doubt as to the pleasure found in
receiving them.
Another phase of formal night's
revelry is in the form of "The
Breakfast," served at various frat­ernity
houses. Almost all of the
brothers turn up dressed to kill
(murder), and be hosts or, if it
is their dance, to eat a few eggs,
say good night, and dash out to
find a night's lodging.
According to formost social life
authorities, college formal dances
will soon be a thing of the past.
This thought has raised, from those
who participate, the hue and cry:
"Who will miss them?"

THE TRUE AND TYPICAL CASE
OF CHATSWORTH OSCEOLA
You all know, of course, that every engineering senior is receiv­ing
fabulous offers from dozens of corporations, but do you
know just how fabulous these.offers are? Do you have any idea
how widely the corporations are competing? Let me cite for
you the true and typical case of Chatsworth Osceola, a true
and typical senior.
Chatsworth, walking across the M.I.T. campus one day last
week, was hailed by a man sitting in a yellow convertible
studded with precious gem stones. "Hello," said the man, "I am
Norwalk T. Sigafoos of the Sigafoos Bearing and Bushing Com­pany.
Do you like this car?"
"Yeah, hey," said Chatsworth.
"It's yours," said Sigafoos.
"Thanks, hey," said Chatsworth.
"Do you like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos.
"Of corris," said Chatsworth.
"Here is a pack," said Sigafoos. "And a new pack will be
delivered to you at twelve-minute intervals every day as longj
as you shall live."
"Thanks, hey," said Chatsworth.
."Does your wife like Philip Morris?" said Sigafoos.
"She would," said Chatsworth, "but I'm not married."
"Do you want to be?" said Sigafoos.
"What American boy doesn't?" said Chatsworth.
Sigafoos pressed a button on the dashboard of his convertible
and the trunk opened up and out came a nubile maiden with
golden hair, flawless features, a perfect disposition, and the
appendix already removed. "This is Laurel Geduldig," said
Sigafoos. "Would you like to marry her?"
*a*n&&r
\ MWdppetzcf/xoutPf
."Is her appendix out?" said Chatsworth.
."Yes," said Sigafoos
"Okay, hey," said Chatsworth.
"Congratulations," said Sigafoos. "And for the happy bride,
a pack of Philip Morris every twelve minutes for the rest of
her life."
."Thanks, hey," said Laurel.
"Now then," said Sigafoos to Chatsworth, "let's get down
to business. My company will start you at $45,000 a year. You
will retire at full salary upon reaching the age of 26. When you
Btart work, we will give you a three-story house made of bullion,
complete with a French Provincial swimming pool. We will
provide sitter service for all your children until they are safely
through puberty. We will keep your teeth in good repair, and
also the teeth of your wife and children unto the third genera­tion.
We will send your dentist a pack of Philip Morris every
twelve minutes as long as he shall live Now, son, I want you
to think carefully about this offer. Meanwhile, here is ten
thousand dollars in small, unmarked bills, which places you
under no obligation whatsoever."
"It certainly seems like a fair offer," said Chatsworth. "But
there is something you should know. I am not an engineer. In
fact, I don't go to M.I.T. at all. I am a poetry major at Harvard.
I just came over here on a bird walk."
"Oh," said Sigafoos.
"I guess I don't get to kepp the money and the convertible
and Laurel now, do I?" said Chatsworth;
"Of course you do," said Sigafoos, "And if you'd like the job,
my offer still stands." © isss, iiu shuimu

SPOTLIGHT
ON
SPORTS
RAY GROOVER
By RONNIE McCULLARS . . . Sports Editor
In Lexington it was tough on last Saturday night.
But in Knoxville it was even tougher on Monday night.
Auburn had battled from behind the entire game. They had
mustered a defense that could control Tennessee's Dalen Sho-walter
and scoring partners. It took them almost 40 minutes to
do it, but in those last few tense ones Auburn was proving the
superior as they came from four points back to even up the
numbers on the score board.
With only a few seconds left on the big clock at the Volun-tees'
brand new field house, the score stood 53-52 in the Tigers
favor. Porter Gilbert had just fouled the Vols' Showalter going
in for a shot.
Tense drama filled the capa­city
filled stands.
The 6-4 Volunteer pushed the
first one through. The second
one . . . a miss. Score—53-53.
Between Showalter's foul
shots a substitute had to be sent
in to replace the guard, Porter
Gilbert, who had just fouled
out.
Coach Joel Eaves looked down
the excited Tiger bench and
told Ray Groover to get in
there.
Groover, as a sophomore had
contributed 84 points to the
winning Auburn cause, jumped
off the bench and ran into the
mixed up affair at the other end
of the floor. The youngster, who
was overcome by the tenseness
of the game, raced into the
fracas and relieved the ejected Gilbert.
With four seconds left, using only the time it took for Gilbert
to run off and Groover to run on the court, the referee blew his
whistle.
Groover had failed to report. Certainly a disaster, giving the
Vols captain a free throw via the technical route.
Captain Colter came to the line and stripped the net to go
one point head, 54-53.
Tennessee took the ball out and quickly Jimmy Lee pushed—j •
purposely—the Vol's Carter. He sank both free throws.
Tennessee went 56-53 out front.
Two seconds left . . .
Auburn took the ball in. A pass from Rex Frederick and a
shot by Jimmy Lee ran the total to 56-55 still Tennessee's favor.
The clock ran out. Auburn suffered their most devastating defeat
in two seasons.
. They are all hard to lose and no one likes to talk about
those kind but Monday night, February 23, 1959 in Knoxville,
Tennessee took place a basketball ..battle that Auburnites and
Tennesseans alike will long-rettTfertlber.
Ray Groover, the young sophomore who wanted to win more
than any Auburn will still be mourning this defeat. He's prob­ably
felihg guilty, but with the score tied 53-53 and only four
seconds left n the game, only the oldest of the pros would have
been thinking of going by the scorers table. We do a lot of
things when the going gets tough that we aren't conscious of,
Groover only happens to be human.

Tigers Close Season Against Bama
Montgomery's Coliseum Is Location
For Annual Battle Saturday Night
Saturday night brings an exciting rematch to Montgom­ery's
Coliseum as Alabama's Crimson Tide seeks to avenge
two earlier season defeats at the hands of the Auburn Tigers.
The first was a 79-60 loss in the Birmingham Classic back
when the "shuffle" was a new dance step and Bama was
heading into a promising sea- £ a ^ ^ l o o k ed
sort, and the second showed the
Plainsman ahead by only two like an Auburn-Alabama game,
before some 9,000 Montgomery Crimson Coach Eugene Lam­bert,
who from all indications,
figures the best way to win ball
games is to switch the line-up-constantly
to confuse the op­ponents,
has come up with a
new starting five composed of
eight or nine men any of whom
could find himself in or out
come game time.
Dan Quindazzi and Lenny
Kaplan, a couple of tough new
Yorkers, are getting "yo-yo"
characteristics under the Ala­bama
system. Quindazzi, a 6-3
forward is a good shot and ex­tremely
rugged under the
boards while Kaplan is a di-minitive
5-9 guard, but a good
playmaker. Both figured prom­inently
in the score thrown in­to
the Auburn supporters in the
two school's last meeting and
should give plenty of trouble
Saturday; that is if it's their
turn to play.
One of the most consistant
Tiders is 6-4 guard Lloyd John­son.
Johnson hits very well

Tigers Hit Skids As Cats, Tennessee Triumph
By JAMES ABRAMS
Defensive pressure, unwav­ering
outside shooting, s t r o n g
rebounding, and 12,750 w i ld
partisan Kentucky fans, prov­ed
to be the combination, that
for the past 31 games, basket­ball
teams have been looking
for to topple the Tigers' apple­cart.
Kentucky, invincible on
their own home court, snapped
the longest win streak in the
nation at 30 games in a pres­sure
packed encounter in Lex­ington,
75-56.
Led by a torrid 50 per cent
shooting mark for the first half-the
Wildcats built up a 46-26
halftime lead and Auburn nev­er
closed the gap. In the final
round Auburn matched the
Wildcats point for point but
the point spread stayed at a
•consistent 16 to 19 point advan­tage
for Kentucky.
Kentucky displayed a well-balanced
attack which featured
four men hitting in double fig­ures.
Cox and Lickert both hit
18, Coffman sank 16, and Par­sons
had 14. For the Tigers Hart
and Lee connected for 12 each,
Fibbe got 10, and Vaughn fol­lowed
closely with eight.
Auburn managed only 45
shots, hit 19 for a very respec­table
42.2 per cent. Kentucky,
taking 20 shots more than the
Tigers, made 29 for a 44.6 aver­age.
Auburn held a slim edge
in the free throw department,
sinking 18, while Kentucky
made 17 of their charity tosses.
The Tigers held an 11-9 ad­vantage
with 14-12. remaining
in the first half when Coffman
sank a free throw and Cox ad­ded
a field goal to send Ken­tucky
ahead. Kentucky grabbed
a. halftime spread of 20 points,
46-26, on a spurt which saw the
Wildcats pour through 12 points
while Auburn hit. for only two.
Kentucky played a deliberate,
cautious game the last half, r e ­lying
upon rebounding and
outside shooting to keep the
Tigers from pulling up.
This was the first Tiger de­feat
since falling to Alabama,
83-65, on Jan. 18, 1958..
VOLS VICTORIOUS
Knoxville was the site which
saw the University of Tennes­see
hand the Auburn Tigers a
heart-breaking defeat, 56-55, in
what turned out to be one of
the most suspense-filled en­counters
ever played.
Trailing throughout the game
Auburn finally notched the
score at 51-51 with 1.32 remain­ing.
Frederick hit a two pointer
to send the Tigers ahead 53-52
and the Vol's Showalter hit a
free toss with four seconds left
to go to notch the score at 53-
53. At this point Auburn's
toughest break of the basket­ball
season occurred. In the
heat of the contest sophomore
Ray Groover failed to report in
to the officials and a technical
foul was called. Tennessee then
' copped the game with free
throws to drown the Tiger
hopes of a first in the SEC race.
Showalter scored 13 points in
the first half and 14 of the Vol's
21 in the second half to lead
all scorers. Oddly enough, he
was the only Vol to hit in the
double figures bracket. Henry
Hart led the Tigers scoring with
20, Frederick hit 14, and Lee
scored 10. • ,
At half-time the Tigers were
hitting along at a 55 per cent
clip, while the Vols were close
behind with 44 per cent. Au­burn
shot only 20 times, hitting
11, while Tennessee made 15
of 34 attempts.
Auburn worked the shuffle
well in the first half but had to
rely on free throws and outside
shooting to keep in the game
during the second half. Lee and
Hart were mainstays in the
Tiger's second half rally. Lee
scored nine of his 10 points in
the second period and Hart di­vided
his with 10 in each p e ­riod.
These two playmakers
scored 19 of Auburn's 24 points
made in the last half.
With 5:05 remaining, Hart
sank a free throw and added a
field goal to even the score at
51-51. Tennessee went ahead,
52-51, on a foul shot by Coul­ter
and Rex Frederick pulled
the Tigers back in front with a
jump shot, 53-52. With four sec­onds
left Showalter made a
free throw, tying the score
once again. Then the technical
foul against Auburn was called
and Coulter put Tennessee out
front for good with a f r ee
throw. Carter added two more
free throws to further insure
a Vol victory.
of a threat. He teams with Kap­lan
or Gene Beard, a newcom­er
who has scored well lately
and gives still more height to
the guard position.
Clyde Frederick, Rex's 6-6
cousin, has come on fast at cen­ter
as is indicated by his 17-
point performance against the
Vols of Tennessee and Tormoh-len.
E. B. Hanncr or Ray Sink
round out the lineup at forward
with Hanner usually getting
the nod.

in the SEC Foretells *A-Day' Game Nearing
By WAYNE RINGER . . . Asst. Sports Editor
Basketball, in the SEC, runs in a vicious cycle, in which even
the best teams must meet their faith sooner or later. Some teams
may elude this cycle at home, just as Auburn, Mississippi State,
and Kentucky have done of late.
The Tigers have not lost in the Sports Arena since the early
part of the 1957 season, when Georgia Tech pulled the trick.
The Maroons have won thirty-one straight in Starkville, and
if they continue with those cowbells they may win thirty-one more.
The Wildcats haven't felt an SEC defeat in Lexington since
Joe Helms led Tech to • victory in 1955.
This season has seen three great victories for the three top SEC
teams, all of whom would like to have the SEC crown. Auburn
stomped State 97 to 66,State cowbelled Kentucky 62 to 54, and the
Wildcats beat Auburn 76 to 57. Kentucky was also beaten in Nash­ville
by Vanderbilt, but the Commodores were not strong enough
to be a contender for the crown.
Since the top. three contenders are alj in "different brackets in
the SEC, it means that you play the teams, put of your bracket onr
ly once a season on a rotating system.
Next year Auburn 'must visit Mississippi State (minus Bailey
Howell), State must invade Lexington, and Kentucky rightfully
should visit the Sports Arena. Yes, I know that the game will be
played on a neutral court in Birmingham or Montgomery.
If the game is played at one of these places, although they are
in the state of Alabama, an injustice will be done to the mem-r
bers of the Auburn basketball team. Auburn played in the Wild­cats'
den last Saturday night, and vice-versa Kentucky should
be in Tigerland next year.

with one of his pas­ses
to Johnny.Kern covering '40
yards and a TD.
Speaking of Kern, he is pro­gressing
well at h a l f - b a c k .
The polish, s p e e d , experience
and endurance gained at quar­terback
is paying big dividends.
The Tiger defense, prime fac­tor
in the excellent record
written by Auburn last year,
will be rugged again this year
judgipg . frqm the action Sat­urday.
Each snap of the ball
sent a snarling mass of defend­ers
charging into the line, each
trying to outdo his comrades in
an effort to be the first to make
contact. There were no individ­ual
tackles; when a ball carrier
went down,. he was covered
with tacklers. The wprds of
Coach Hal Herring expressed
this exhibition adequately, "Al­right,
alright! That's what I
want!'-'
As the shadows lengthened
and the wind grew colder, the
spectators thinned out; but the
scrimmage went on at the same
pace. The ball was placed on
the ten-yard line, with each of
the fqur teams trying to score
in the least amount of time.
At 5:30 it was all over. Four-hours
of war games revealed a
lot about this team. The ranks
have-been cut down, with only
a hardened nucleus remaining.
Three deep in reserves, the
halfbacks are small but shifty
and swift. Fullbacks that re­semble
jet-propelled pile-driv­ers
are there, too. Linemen with
nerves and sinews of hardened
steel that relish contact, knock
heads mercilessly. Glue^finger-ed
ends make catches that al­most
seems impossible and al­low
no one to come around
them on defense.
March 7 does not lie far away
now. On that day you will see
the finest array of football tal­ent
in the world.

league crown and a tournament
berth. Theta Zi won the big one,
44-39, with Brakefield and
Sparks leading the way. Theta
Chi edged Phi Delts, 39-37, be­fore
nosing out Delta OChi, 59-
56, to win their league. The
iinal league winners and their
record are PKA, 7-1; KS, 7-1;
TX, 8-2; TC, 10-1. Runnersup
were SAE, KA, AP, and DC.
Independent, D o r m and
Church playoffs also began last
night. One berth in the Dorm
playoffs was not decided going
into last nights play. D and Y2
were. to meet in a contest that
was scheduled for last Wednes­day,
but had to be cancelled.
Should D win, they would get
the playoff berth, but a loss to
Y2 would leave the two tied for
their league crown and force a
playoff game there. Teams al­ready
winning their league are
the Wild Childs, 8-0; R, 8-0;
AH2, 7-1; and I, 7-0.
In the Church league BSU
again won the roses by beating
Wesley twice during the week.
The first was a continuation of
a game started earlier in the
season that had to be called be­cause
of light failure. BSU won
that one 47-42 and eame away
with a 50-44 triumph the second
contest.
All Independent leagues were
settled last week and playoff
games last night saw the Flor­ida
Five and the Rebels squar-off
with ASAE getting a bye.

By ROY BAIN
Plainsman Sports Writer
A u b u r n grapplers contin­ued

Out of eight matches,

falls, t h r e e by decisions, and
. one b y a forfeit.
Results of the Sewanee match
show Auburn losing the 123
class by a forfeit; 130, Auburn's
George McCrary won by a fall
over Mar McCord in five min­utes;
137, Felton Hastings won
a forfeit for Auburn; 147, Leo­nard
Ogburn won a 6-0 decis­ion
over Bill Craig of Sewanee;
157, Budy Bellsnyder of Au­burn
won a 7-4 decision over

gen of Auburn won by a fall

Coach Umbach's Tiger mat-men

The Florida Five earned their
playoff position by nipping the
Sharks 50-48 in a deciding
game. The Sharks had beaten
Florida Five earlier in the year.
Final league winners were:
Rebels, 8-0; Florida Five, 6-2;
and ASAE, 6-1. All together,
only four teams out of 11 lea­gues
made it through the year
undefeated.
Those teams who had games
cancelled last Wednesday can
thank the Affairs Committee for
calling a faculty meeting. The
tour hour faculty meeting re­sulted
in the Student Activities
Building being closed for 24
hours. It would have taken
every bit of 30 minutes for B.
and G. to remove the chairs
after the meeting. Yet they sat
there all night causing the
games to be cancelled. One can't
help wonderin gwhy the meet­ing
could not have been held
in Langdon Auditorium, which
is more centrally located. Be­sides,
the committee didn't pay
any fee for using the Student
Activities Building, but guess
who did.
But, that's the way the cookie
crumbles.
JAMES ABRAMS
Plainsman Sports Writer
At this time of year when
Old Man Winter is in the pro­cess
of being undermined by
his young and playful son Sum­mer,
a young man's fancy turns
to thoughts of tennis. After a
four week delay, primarily due
to the Old Man, API's tennis
team is now bringing practice
into full swing.
Coach Luther Young, who
has won 75 percent of his
matches here at Auburn, will
be closely observing some 20
tennis players vying for top po­sitions
on the team. The big
problem confronting C o a ch
Young is that of a lack of ex­perience
on this year's team.
Only one returning letterman,
Tom Purser, held a spot on last
year's varsity crew.
Six players on the 1958 fresh­man
squad move up to the var­sity
rank and make the outlook
for a successful season bright,
despite the loss of graduated
varsity men. George Bagwell,
J im Davis, Sam Ligon, J a ck
Rice, Tommy Sapp and Bill
Wilson, all 1958 members of the
freshman squad should give
Tigers Close . .
(Continued from page 6)
Vande Mark are a pair of tall
reserves giving Bama some
needed bench strength.
The Tide would like nothing
better than to catch Auburn
down from their recent road
trip and make up for those two
losses.
Coach Joel Eaves, Tiger head
man will stick with the Frede­rick,
Fibbe, Vaughn, Lee, and
Hart combo that has gone so
far this season.
It will be the end of the line
for seniors, Frederick, Lee,
Gregory and Samples in t h i s
contest, the Tigers last of the
season.
This match promises to be a
tough, bruising, hotly contested
battle, but above all, an Au­burn-
Alabama game.
Ringer Rambles..;
(Continued from page 7)
Of course a lot of people want to see Auburn play, a lot more
would like to see them win, and none of us want Auburn to have
a handicap.
If the Wildcats of Kentucky ever should visit the Sports Arena,
it would be a little crowded and a ticket would be as hard to get
as an "A" in English. Coach Adolph Rupp and troops would feel
like a visiting baseball team at Brooklyn's old Ebbetts Field. "War
Eagles" would be heard half way to Lexington and Auburn would
be playing in Auburn.
This is the same thing that Coach Joel Eaves and team faced
last Saturday night as the longest winning streak in the nation
was halted in Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum.
Young's forces a shot in the arm
while at the same time greatly
discomforting their opponents.
Last year's freshman team
held an enviable 3-1 record.
Last years varsity crew end­ed
up on the losing side of the
ledger with a 4-6 record. This
team did well, considering the
fact that injuries and mumps
plagued them throughout the
season. There were hardly
men physically able to make a
complete t e a m during the
greater part of the season.
Auburn's first tennis match
is March 20, against the Univer­sity
of Florida, in Gainesville.

Last year we had the pleasure of meeting many
engineering and science seniors during our visit
to the campus. As a result of our discussions, a
gratifying number chose to join our company.
We'll be back on the dates below, and this
notice is your invitation to come in and see us.
If you're interested in joining a company that's
a leader in fields-with-a-future, you'll be inter­ested
in the advantages Boeing can offer you.
Boeing is in volume production of Bomarc, the
nation's longest range defense missile, and is a
prime contractor on Minuteman, an advanced
solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile
system. Boeing also holds a Phase I development
contract for Dyna-Soar, a boost-glide vehicle.
Research projects at Boeing include celestial
mechanics, hypersonics, energy conversion, solid

state physics, nuclear and plasma physics, ad­vanced
propulsion systems, space flight, and the
effects of high temperatures on structures and
materials.
Boeing is also the nation's foremost designer
and builder of multi-jet aircraft. Production in­cludes
eight-jet B-52 global bombers, KC-135 jet
transport-tankers and America's first jet airliner,
the famous Boeing 707.
Expanding programs at Boeing offer outstand­ing
career opportunities to graduates in engineer­ing,
science, mathematics, physics and related
fields. Boeing's continuing growth, in addition,
offers promising opportunities for advancement.
We hope you'll arrange an interview through
your Placement Office. We're looking forward
to meeting you.
