Coed Sues Military
For Tank Accident
By BEFKE DeRING
Barbara Siurua, former Au­burn
student who was injured
last Spring quarter when a
car in which she was a pas­senger
hit an ROTC tank, is
seeking $150,000 damages from
the federal government.
Her father, Fred T. Siurua,
Mobile, is asking $50,000 from the
federal government.
Miss Siurua's action said, she
and three other students were in­jured
when a car collided with a
49-ton tank that had been used
in an ROTC demonstration at
Auburn. The suit charged negli­gence
on the part of the ROTC
driver of the tank, listed as John
Daryl Murphy.
Scene of the accident was Don­ahue
Drive in front of the tele­vision
station on Tuesday, April
22, 1958 at 7:30 p.m.
According to • witnesses, the
1949 Oldsmobile driven at an ex­cessive
speed by Earl Wing,
ploughed into the Army tank
which was motionless and lighted
at the time of impact. Two Army
officers were directing traffic
around the stationary vehicle.
The occupants of the car were:
Miss Siurua, Mobile, who receiv­ed
a broken leg and internal in­juries;
Earl Wing, Jr., Montgom­ery,
who sustained a broken leg
and facial cuts; and Carlton G.
Cole, Birmingham, and George
Clark, Jr., Sylacauga, who were
bruised and shaken up.
Miss Siurua, who is not attend­ing
API this quarter, was not
available for comment and Col.
Lockett, PMS&T, declined to
comment.
THE FOUR FRESHMEN (above) entertained at the annual IFC Dance held last Friday night.
This was the second successful visit of the quartet to this campus.

office, or with the institutional
representative, Professor Eugene
Current-Garcia (Department of
English: Samford Hall 315).
Rhodes Scholarships are among
the most desirable opportunities
available to American men whose
collegiate standing q u a l i f i es
them for graduate study abroad.
The value of a Rhodes Scholar­ship
is now 750 pounds (about
$2,000) per year. Scholars who
qualify under the G. I. Bill of
lights or other military educa­tional
funds may expect the same
benefits at Oxford as at an A-merican
university. Appointment
to a Rhodes Scholarship is made
for two years in the first instance
with a possible third year if the
Scholar's record at Oxford and
plan of study warrant such an
award. No restriction is placed
upon a Rhodes Scholar's choice ol
studies.
Elections to Rhodes Scholar­ships
are usuaijy held in all the
states in December, but applica­tions
must be in the hands of the
secretary of the state committer
not later than Nov. 1. Successful
candidates (or Scholars elect'

Publicity Campaign
To Present Needs
Began By Alumni
By JEAN HILL
An extensive campaign has been
launched by Auburn alumni to
get API's needs before the people
of the state. As never before, Au­burn's
problems and benefits to
the state are being studied and
discussed throughout Alabama.
During January, teams of col­lege
and alumni officials met with
graduates and friends in each of
the state's sixty-seven counties.
Auburn's legislative needs were
discussed at these meetings, and
plans were made to organize
county committees of. twelve to
thirty members of Auburn grad­uates
and supporters. . .
In the two years of the coming
biennium Auburn will request
funds amounting to $9.3 million.
This request amounts to less than
a penny a day for each Alabamian.
Appropriations have fallen at
least 20 per cent short of requests
in five of the past seven years.
The county committees of. alumni
will attempt to show the impor­tance
of Auburn's requests and
urge each citizen to fill the re­quests
through their legislators.

Federal Bill Would
Help Finance API
Gym, Dormitories
Passage Of Sparkman
Proposal Hoped For
By Auburn Prexy
API will file application for
a multi-million dollar loan for
building p u r p o s e s if the
Sparkman h o u s i n g bill be­comes
l a w , President Ralph
B.j Draughon announced.
The Sparkman bill has cleared
the Senate banking committee and
is scheduled for debate in the Sen­ate.
The omnibus housing meas­ure
carries money authorizations
totaling $2,925,000,000, with ap­proximately
$525 million being
set up for loans, to colleges and
universities.
President Draughon said API
will go after some of the low-in­terest
Federal loan money for
women's dormitories and perhaps
seek also to assure financing of
a combination sports arena-phy­sical
education building under
provisions of the Sparkman bill.
The college administration is
hopeful of getting several mil­lions
of state money out of the
proposed $65 million school build­ing
bond issue.
President Draughon listed a
new library building as the first
priority and additional space for
the School of Chemistry as close
behind. These needs ought to be
taken, care of by passage, .of,,the
proposed bond issue, he said.
"Our building needs run to a
figure far greater than the relief
we expect to get from passage of
a school bond issue of $65 mil­lion,"
said Dr. Draughon. "Any
Federal legislation which autho­rizes
low-interest loans to col­leges
certainly will be taken ad­vantage
of by Auburn."
He said, "Our basketball team
needs a decent place to play, and
our physical education facilities
are extremely poor." It will be a
long time before state funds are
made available for this type of
building, Draughon predicted.

Soap Box Derby
Plans Are Released
AVA (Auburn Veteran's Asso­ciation)
has released additional
plans for their annual Soap Box
Derby which will be held during
Village Fair. Fraternities and so­rorities,
any campus organiza­tions,
and any interested persons,
may enter cars in the race, but
the men of AVA urge that those
interested in entering the Derby
make plans immediately.
Application blanks may be
picked up February 11, 12, 13 in
room 304 of the Union Building.
Rule books will also be dispensed
at this time. Anyone who would
like to see a Rule Book to help
determine whether or not to en­ter
may see one in room 304.
All cars must be completed in
detail for an inspection on April
11. There will be a strict inspec­tion
from 2 until 4:30. All safety
rules must be adhered to. Derby
wheels and axels must be used
to help insure the safety of the
driver and spectators.
A trophy will be awarded to
the winner, runner-up, best de­sign
and best upholstery. The
trophies are on display this week
in Chief's Men's Store. They will
be on display in various places
downtown and will be shown la­ter
for two weeks at the Union.
In addition to the trophy, the
winner will also receive a post­war
car. The local merchants
have donated approximately $1,-
000 worth of additional prizes to
be given away.
Of the 150 men in AVA, ap­proximately
85 have been placed
on committees to work toward
making this, the second Soap Box
Derby, as successful if not more
so than the first.
Six sororities and 13 frater­nities
will perform in the an­nual
Blue Key-Mortar Board
Skit Night production. The
extravaganza will open in the
Union Ballroom at 7:30, Mon­day
and will stage a two-night
run.
This year the decision was
made to do away with the pre­liminary
judging which last year
cut the number of participants to
five sororities and five fraterni­ties
who all performed on one
night. It was thought that the
method used last. year would
boost the quality of production as
a whole, but there apparently
was not enough improvement to
merit carrying this system on
another year. It also seemed to
cut down on the interest of. the
student body. Therefore there
will be no preliminary judging
A Phi 0 Plans
For UM0C Near
Completion Stages
The Ugliest Man on the Au­burn
campus will be selected Fri­day,
Feb. 13. Eleven men, each
nominated by* a sorority, will
compete for this singular honor
during the annual UMOC contest,
sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega.
Campaigning will begin Thurs­day,
Feb. 12, and will last through
Friday the l3th. A table in the
Union Patio displaying pictures
of the candidates and their vot­ing
cups, will be the main poll.
Sorority members will collect
votes at one cent each for their
individual nominees.
In the past the money received
from this contest has been used
by A Phi O for service projects
on campus. The "votes" collected
in the 1959 campaign will be
used to erect a permanent site
marker in front of Langdon Hall
where the present wooden struc­ture
stands.
Those nominated and the spon­soring
sorority include Gus Smith,
Kappa Delta; Rob Collins, Chi
Omega; Freddie Burkhalter, Al-pho
Delta Pi; Boyd Cobb, Pi Beta

Sammy Ginn, Zeta Tau Alpha.
Votes may be cast anytime from
8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Thursday
and Friday, at the cost of a penny
per vote.
The winner will receive an
"ugly man" key, prizes rfom local
merchants, and of course, the dis­tinction
of being the "ugliest man
on campus."
this year and Skit Night will
necessitate two nights.
Local judges will view the
skits and use a different system
of judging than last year's. The
skits will not be rated by a per­centage
system where a certain
per cent is given for originality,
etc. They will be. rated excel­lent,
good, fair, or poor and all
the skits for both nights will be
viewed before any decisions are
made. The points which the
judges will rate are: originality,
continuity, presentation, and
timelessness. Alpha Omega Pi
and Lambda Chi Alpha won first
place last year in the fraternity
and sorority competition.
Fraternities will be allowed
seven minutes to stage their skits,
while sororities will be allowed
ten minutes. The Union Ball­room
will be open for rehearsal
to those participating in Skit
Night on Sunday,, Feb. 15.
Tickets which cost $.50 per
person may be purchased from
any Blue Key or Mortar Board
member.

Annual Blood Drive
Draws 533 Pints
As Students Donate
Falling s h o r t of its 1959
800-pint goal, the annual Red
Cross blood drive ended at 5
p.m. last Thursday with 553
pints of blood being contri­buted.
Twenty-seven people
who offered donations were
turnendn down due to their
inability to undergo loss of
blood.
The Phi Kappa Phi fraternity
was awarded a trophy for having
the largest percent of its mem­bers
contribute to the drive. For­ty-
two pints were donated by
the Pi Kappa Phi's. The Lambda
Chi's donated 44 pints b u t the
percentage of donators in the
fraternity as a whole was less
than that of the Pi Kappa Phi's.
Chairman of the drive, Bo Bo
Starke, said the "he wishes to
thank everyone who contributed
and also all of those who helped
work on the drive."
A trophy will also be awarded
to the division in Mag Hall who
contributed the largest percen­tage
of blood. Statistics naming
the winning division were not
available at press time.
'Loveliest of the Plains'
LOVELY RACHEL WATSON, this week's Loveliest of. the

quarter Freshman. At Auburn she resides in Dormitory 9.
i
Four Graduate Mathematics Fellowships
Given Auburn By Defense Education Act
API's program in mathematics has been approved for
four graduate fellowships under the National Defense Edu­cation
Act.
Rep. Carl Elliott said in a telegram to API Executive
Vice-President David W. Mullins, "Office of Education has ap
proved Auburn's graduate pro- provide more well-q u a 1 i f i e d
gram in mathematics under the
National Defense Education Act
with four fellowships for 1959.
Congratulations."
Dr. Mullins said great credit is
due Rep. Elliott for his leadership
in steering the get through the
House. Rep. Elliott and Sen. Lis­ter
Hill were sponsors of the Act
through the Congress.
The fellowships are for a three
year period. Each candidate se­lected
will receive $2,000 for the
first year of study, $2,200 for the
second year and $2,400 for the
third year. Likewise, each will
receive a $400 allowance per year
for each dependent.
Auburn will receive an amount
up to $2,500 annually per fellow­ship
to defray the cost of the
program.
Said Dr. W. V. Parker, head,
API mathematics department and
dean of the graduate school, "this
is significant for prospective
fellows in that it will enable a
good student to pursue graduate
study without the necessity of
having to provide family support
from his own funds. It should en­able
them to complete their
graduate studies earlier and will
teachers."
Both vice-president Mullins
and Dean Parker believe that
the awarding of the fellowships
are significant for API and its
mathematics department in that
only 160 scholarships of almost
6,000 requested for 1*038 pro­grams
in 168 institutions a're
available at present. "It amounts
to national recognition for our
graduate program in mathema­tics,"
said the dean.
Dr. Mullins also emphasized
the importance of the fellowships
to Auburn. He said, "They will
enah'le persons to prepare them­selves
to teach at the college
level who might not be able to
do so otherwise. Since preference
goes to those preparing to teach
at the college level, the program
should be useful in meeting the
growing shortage of people quali­fied
for and interested in college
teaching. In addition Auburn will
be able to strengthen and expand
its graduate program in mathe­matics."
Eventually, the graduate fel­lowship
program could have the
same meaning for Auburn's engi­neering,
agricultural engineering,
physics and chemistry.

best IFC dance in the history of
Greek Week, according to Eddie
Kern, General chairman of Greek
Week committee. Top-notch en­tertainment
plus an eager, well-represented
crowd produced ah
appropriate climax to an event­ful
week. ..._.•
"The Fraternity System: A
Way of Life,'" was the theme
around which the many event's
of last week centered. This was
the topic of Dr. Charles M.
Thompson's Speech at the -Greek
Week Banquet on Tuesday. Dr.
Thompson spoke on the oppor­tunities
which we, as college stu­dents,
must take advantage of,
arid the responsibilities which wte
must assume, as mature men anil
women. Attending this banquet
were representatives from each
sorority and fraternity and other
^guests.
On Friday evening, at the Pan­hellenic
Banquet held in the Un­ion
Ballroom, Mrs. Evelyn Cos-tello,
past president of Delta Zeta,
spoke on "The Place of the Fra­ternity
System on Campus." She
urged that the Greeks stand,
united, as that is the only way to
remain strong. Sorority presi­dents,
Panhellenic representa­tives,
and other members of so­rorities
were present at this
function.
During the week, two teas were •
held to emphasize the fellowship
element of the fraternity system.
One of these took place on Sun-,
day, the first day, When Presi­dent
Draughon, heads of schools,
and representatives from frater­nities
met for a reception at the
Social Center. On Wednesday, the
individual sororities feted the
independent women of the dorms
in their respective chapter rooms.
Beginning on Monday night,
Interfratemity and Panhellenic
panel discussions were held each
night. There were discussions on
finances, rush, scholarship, in­tramural
sports, philanthropy

SUSGA Delegates Discuss
Plans For Expansion Here
BOBBY HARPER
Delegates from seven colleges met in Auburn Feb. 7 for
the annual Southern Universities Student Government As­sociation
Council. Plans for the expansion of SUSGA to in­clude
a larger number of schools and recommendations for
revision of the old constitution were the primary subjects of
discussion.
Fifteen delegates from five
member schools were present.
Those colleges represented were
the University of Tennessee, Uni­versity
of Alabama, Mississippi
Southern, Florida State Univer­sity,
and Auburn. In addition, the
Universities of Florida and Ken­tucky
each had two representa­tives
present to observe the pro­ceedings.
Delegates to the Council ar­rived
last Friday and attended
the IFC Ball later that evening.
The first meeting was held Sat­urday
morning with Sonny Stein,
president of the API Student
Government Association, deliv­ering
the welcome address. Fac­ulty
advisor Harold Grant of Au­burn
then gave a report on the
state of SUSGA. An open dis­cussion
was held presided over
by the chairman of SUSGA, Au­burn's
Sonny Colvett. A second
session was held later that after­noon.
Entertainment Saturday
night was furnished by the Au­burn-
Georgia basketball game.
Colvett stated that the discus­sions
during the Council meet­ings
were very enthusiastic and
much was accomplished. With the
future of the association looking
brighter than ever, the coming
conference in April assumes even
greater importance. Each attend­ing
school will be encouraged to
bring an exhibit, portraying some
facet of its campus activities.
Also, the colleges will be en­couraged
to send more freshmen
and sophomore delegates to pre­pare
them for leadership in the
future.
The Auburn delegates served
as hosts for the council. They
were Sonny Stein, Ray Daniel,
Kenny Schultz, Dianne Spurrier,
and Boolie Hill. Purposes and ob­jectives
of SUSGA are clearly
stated in the preamble to the re­vised
constitution which will be
presented to the SUSGA Confer­ence
for adoption later this year.
It reads: "In order to promote
better student government, to
provide for greater cooperation
and exchange of ideas among the
member colleges and universities
and to better resolve our common
problems, we do ordain and es­tablish
this constitution for the
Southern Universities Student
Government Association, which
shall be a non-political associa­tion
of colleges and universities
in the South dedicated to the ser­vice
of their respective cam­puses."
SUSGA was conceived as a
problem-solving, advisory group
for student governments. The
problems of one campus are us­ually
very similar to those of
other colleges. Thus the discus­sion
of various solutions to these
difficulties by different schools
usually result in a superior so­lution
for all.
Two meetings are held annual­ly
with the second being the lar­ger
of the two. The 1959 Confer­ence
was tentatively set for April
24-25 at Auburn.

'Well, that is how the job went today . . . tomorrow will be very different.
There is just no set routine on this assignment. I have to be ready for any­thing
that develops. That is one of the reasons I really look forward to my
work every day."

to use their abilities in Bell Telephone Companies. There may be a bright and

Monday Night Absurdity 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, February 11, 1959 A CO It! HAN
There is enough immaturity, innanity
and stupidity in the world without the
added efforts of Auburn students. The
"panty raid" last Monday night is a prime
example of the result of. unchecked emo­tions
of childish personalities. If anyone in
the crowd that night thought he (or she)
was celebrating a baskektball victory then
that person is not only stupid but deaf,
dumb and blind besides. The demonstra­tion
was caused by a mob enthralled with
the emotional release afforded by mass
hysteria.
There is no romanticism or "youthful
innocence" in losing one's mind and be­coming
a howling idiot. Yet Tuesday night
there were hundreds of men and women
who reduced themselves to that state and
had the time of their lives in doing so. Had
the man who distinguished himself by
climbing up the drain-pipe of Dorm 9 fal­len
and broken his neck we are sure that
he would have been much more apprecia­tive
of the ridiculous figure he made of
himself. The girls on the roof of the same
dorm could have used enlightenment of the
same nature with few regrets from res­ponsible
onlookers. The housemother of
another dorm who treated the whole af­fair
as a joke would have seen the light
had a few of the gorillas broken in and
wrecked her little domicile.
The response of the freshmen women of
dorms 9, 10, and Alumni Hall encouraged
the riot's continuance long after its spon­taneity
had died. Besides reflecting on the
mental shortcomings of the women in
these dorms, it highlights the total unpre-paredness
or unwillingness of the dormi­tory
governments to take control in an
emergency. This may be due to the fact
that no instructions along these lines have.
been prepared. Even if this is the case we
fail to see why no determined effort to
hold the lid down was made.
Although men started the demonstration
we think the women contributed much
more than their share in prolonging it. For
this reason we'd like to see the more avid
women demonstrators share the same pun­ishment
as the men.
• We would like to see the individuals
who have been and will be singled out as
leaders brought before the Disciplinary
Board and called to account for their ac­tions.
We think they deserve the greatest
possible penalty up to and including ex­pulsion.
These people and others who were not
caught must realize that an incited mob is
bound to hurt someone or tear down some­thing
before it can be stopped. A few quar­ters
suspension would give them plenty
of time to think about it.
In this case the only injury was to Au­burn's
reputation. We attribute this to the
efforts of a few cool heads who were able
to be at the worst spots at the right time.
The athletes in Graves Centre were inval­uable
in discouraging the most rabid dem­onstrators.
Other than these, there were
only a handful of student leaders and ad­ministrators
on hand.
A riot is not a joke. Auburn is no place
for those who cannot understand this.

The arguments recently appearing on
j this page have afforded ample food for
J thought. It'e been quite a controversy.
The purpose of our Letters to the Editor
I column is to display student opinion to
! Plainsman readers — sincere opinion
*. whether in agreement or disagreement
* with this newspaper's staff. Such oppor-
• tunity can sometimes be misused. Natural-j
ly, a fallen man with any pride whatso-
; ever, tends to fight back with any weapon
, accessible. When he feels that a compe-i
tent adversary is attempting to expose

last week, he's not attempting to ex-
| pose anyone. This writer is only reviewing.
a well-known fact, hoping that it^may be
•corrected. Architect though he may be,
' Towery does not minimize the importance
j of the engineer's position in today's ex­plosive
society. For that reason, he dis­cusses
current fallacies in our engineering
setup.
< Actually, a college education of less than,
{ say ten years duration can't even be­gin
to teach the engineer everything he'll
jj need to know when he reaches the outside
j world. Basic understanding is all that is
required. College isn't meant for perfect­ing
one's specific knowledge. Only his in­dividual
employer can mold an effective
engineer from a green college grad. It is
important, however, that the subject con­cerned
is well-rounded enough to be ready
to effectively handle any situation hurled
at him by a demanding boss. Can ability
to carry on meaningful communication re­sult
from excessive time spent behind the
slide rule and in machine shop or similar
classes? Certainly not!
In a Plainsman editorial column last
quarter, the subject of effective communi­cation
was raised. An example was dis­cussed
therein, concerning a young Au­burn
faculty member who was enrolled at
-that time in non-credit remedial English.
Pumped full of technical courses, he grad­uated
here in engineering with- honor.
This fellow discovered his communicative
ability so lax but important that he*
double-timed his way back to college, de­termined
to learn what was essential but
hadn't been offered during undergrad
days.
It's a comfortable feeling to be able to
carry on sensible conversation with folks
on any subject. Farsighted e n g i n e e rs
agree—PHILLIPS.

EAVES OF AUBURN
Gentleman Extraordinary
Various Auburn students who
are .now watching our league-leading
basketball Tigers for the
first time have probably wondered
why Coach Joel Eaves is so highly
regarded here at the Village. They
seem to realize that the conversa­tion
often heard concerning the
mastermind of Plainsman court
fortunes are founded on facts
somewhat deeper than a mere 28
game win skein.
The answer is clear. Auburn
appreciates t h e
s u p e r i o r job
done by Eaves
with a relatively
i n e x p e rienced
g a n g of ball­players,
but it's
the dignity a n d
unselfishness of
this API grad
which l i n g e r s Phillips
utmost on the minds of those who
have seen him display these
qualities.
Rational.rankings are important
to any coach. Currently, unde­feated
Auburn has mustered only
fourth and s i x t h positions in
the two major polls, AP and UPL
Victory oyer Georgia by a size­able
margin last Saturday night
could havs elevated the Tigers
closer to "top-money." After all,
didn't Paul Dietzel of LSU cop the
nation's football crown by running
up scores of 41-0, 50-18, and 62-0
last fall? All-America halfback
Billy Cannon usually stayed
around until the closing whistle,
bolstering the Bengal point total.
BY JIM PHILLIPS
Joel Eaves obviously possesses
a different system of values. De­feating
outclassed squads by ex­cessive
point bulges is out of the
question to Auburn's snowy-hair­ed
mentor. To him, face lost by
opposing coaches who find their
squads beaten by runaway mar­gins
doesn't warrant a higher Au­burn
ranking.
With fourteen minutes left to
play Saturday night, Eaves jerked
All-Conference R e x Frederick
from the lineup. Rex had pumped
in 16 points while rebounding like
a demon all 26 minutes of his
playing time. Seconds later, after
a 75-37 count had been flashed
on the scoreboard, the four re­maining
first line netmen were
benched. Auburn played the last
fourth of the contest with a con­glomeration
of subs, enabling the
Bulldogs to narrow the gap to
95-69, much brighter an outcome
than our visitors had expected
before the Tigers' second five en­tered
the contest. Had Eaves cared
to, he could have likely run. up,a.
wider separation of points than
top-ranked Kentucky recently
displayed in bopping the hapless
Athenians. Adolph Rupp's Wild­cats
humbled Georgia, 108-55, two
weeks ago.
It's a cinch that Coach Joel
Eaves is regarded as one of the
finest personalities in the game.
With his outlook, there's little
wonder why this fellow keeps on
winning. Who says there's no de­mand
for nice guys?
THREE STARTED TOGETHER
And Then There Was One
It was surprising and impres­sive
when, in the first week of
our freshman year, the Orienta­tion
instructor directed us to- look
at the man on our left and then
the man on our right. "Only one
of you t h r e e
w i l l graduate
from this insti­tution,"
he cau­tioned
us. At
the time, t h is
advice seemed
greatly exag-erated
and ab­surd.
But since
that first d a y , Battle
many of us who had listened to
those words of warning have dis­covered
their correctness.
This being true, we begin to
wonder about the reasons for this
problem. It is quite obvious that
something is wrong with our
method of intellectual develop­ment
and adjustment. Two-thirds
of the collegiate population is a
much too large number of the
student body to be forced, in one
way or another, to discontinue
their higher education.
The greatest part of the blame
can be placed on the basis of our
society—the family (or is it the
basis nowadays). Today's young­ster
in the average family is not
given intellectual guidance that
is necessary in the home from
the time one learns how to read
fairy tales. Discipline is lax, and
when left alone, the boy will
turn to comic books and 25-cent
trash for reading material. Tele­vision
becomes the prime source
of enlightenment in the family
and there is no time to read a
good book or for an intelligent
conversation, concerning ideas
BY TIM BATTLE
instead of things between the
father and the son.
Next in line for blames is the
high school system. It is a well-known
fact that a diploma from
an American secondary school
can be obtained with no effort
whatsoever. Students are not
taught the value of education,
and the curricula are so loose
and subjects so simple that hard
work is unnecessary.
Going from the senior year in
high school to the freshman year
in college should be no bigger a
step than from one high school
grade to another. But, instead,
the difference between the two
is tremendous. The student must
adjust very quickly in order to
progress well enough to remain
in college.
Even if left alone to concen­trate
on this difficult task, the
freshman would have hard work
ahead of him. But, to add to his
burden, he is distracted by such
things as week-day activities and
"traditional" coffee breaks. En­tirely
too much emphasis is
placed on these things which on­ly
hinder the student's develop­ment.
We must realize, once and for
all, that education is invaluable
and should, therefore, be encour­aged
and pushed. Life itself is an
education, but we must be taught
to distribute it intelligently. This
certainly cannot be done under
our present system and viewpoint.
, When next year's Orientation
class is given the same warning
that was given to us,_ someone
will have to answer the professor.
"Go tell that to our families and
to our high schools. We're too
far gone now."
The professional emotions of a
good engineer number two, or less.
This rather anonymous but ubi­quitous
fellow, this technician who
must compete with the machine
for his dignity is, in the main,
prideful first and passionate sec­ond.
The engineer's pride is a sort of
a l l -encompass- ff
i n g cock-sure- m
ness. It is a g
learned thing. It §§
is a confidence ||;i
that enters h i s
make-up at pre­cisely
the mo­ment
he masters
the slide - r u l e
and realizes, in Towery
the same little impulse, his quasi-importance
to the American scene.
The engineer is proud because he
is in demand, proud in the know­ledge
that his salary will exceed
those of teachers, preachers or
any learned men. He is proud be­cause
his title has the flash of
modernity and a hint of the mys­terious.
His passion is less involved—
simple, in fact. With a dearth of
intellectual audacity, a fear of
things "unrelated" to his curri­culum,
the engineer can not pos­sibly
sink to a level of real invol­vement
with his field. He can not
catch fire with his subject. His
chief, concern is a monetai-y and
not academic one. In short, the en­gineer's
passion is the passion for
the quick return.
Now both of these emotions
seem ridiculously out of context
with the present or the future.
Pride rightfully belongs to the en­gineer,
just as it belongs to anyone
convinced of the depth and signi­ficance
of his doings. But it be­longs
to the engineer who has ar­rived
at his special self through
a field of generalities and total
scope. Such a man has derived his
education and position. Such a
man is proud and knows why he
is proud.
The engineer's passion is a tem­porary
thing. The passion for the
quick return is soon satisfied. It is
common knowledge that the in­viting
starting salary for engineers
does not always result in subse­quent
and inviting raises. It should
be common knowledge that this is
more the case for narrow special­ists
in the field than for engineers
who can quote Homer, or see be­yond
their noses, or who can do
other such unengineerlike things.
The engineer is becoming a fav­orite
target, but his plight ap­pears
no different from any other
agent of specialization. It is sad
and beyond conjecture to say that
tb Is sort of pride and passion,
these absurdities, will ultimately
bring the specialist to the mat.
WE GIVE AND TAKE
Life Without Sorrow - Enjoyable?
BY LINDA TELLER
away.'
The rains came down. We hated
that weather; we splashed through
the holes a foot deep and we would
have liked to just yell "STOP" at
whatever it was that was making
the rain, the clouds, and the slush.
But let's stop: Aren't the rain and
the sun, when it does come out,
symbols of the ups and downs of
life?
"This, too, shall
The rain passes,

row follow this Teller
same pattern . . . the sorrow pass­es
and in its place shines the joy
of happiness, but again the dark
clouds of sorrow may cover up the
«::
brightness of joy, but soon again
we may see the light.
Do you ever wonder or ask
why there is so much unhappiness
and sorrow in our world today?
If so, step wondering and stop
asking, for without your sorrow
there would be no joy. The two
emotions are interchangeable. I
truly grieve for you if you have
never been ecstatically happy, but
equally do I grieve for you if you
have never been dreadfully un­happy.
Have you ever asked your­self
this question, "Would I rather
have forever joy or forever sor­row?"
Does that question make
you laugh? Well, think about it. It
is a question that can hardly be
answered; I don't know how I
would answer it. But did you,
without a second's hesitation think
to yourself, "I would, naturally,
like to have joy forever." Well,
now, really think, and use the old
inductive method of reasoning.
We will agree that joy and sorrow
are opposites. So, therefore if you
have supposedly forever joy, how
can you be sure that it is joy, if
you have never known its oppo­site,
sorrow? It is intellectually
impossible to know sorrow with­out
joy, and so it is impossible to
know joy without sorrow.
In times of old, as the story
goes, there was a mighty and ap­parently
wise monarch. He asked
from all the great men of his day
a motto that he could use as a
guide for his life. He chose from
the many, "This, too, shall pass
away."
"Since life is brief, we need to
make it broad;
Since life is short, we need to
make it bright;
Thus keep the old king's motto
well in sight,
And, let its meaning permeate
each day
WHATEVER COMES —"THIS,
TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY."
FROM GROUP TO GROUP
The Closeness Of Auburn Greeks
| The several quarters in which
I have been here at Auburn have
brought significant realization to
me regarding Greek Week and
its related activities.
As a transfer student from a
large Northern university I have
had the opportunity to compare
the relationship existing between
the members of Greek letter or­ganizations
and independent stu­dents
here at Auburn and else­where.
In all sincerity both Greek
letter members and non-affili­ated
students
here at Au­burn
s e e m to
make a special
attempt to bet­ter
their rela­tions
with o n e
another. As a
previous pledge
to one of t h e .
sororities there
I did not observe
which has been displayed here
at API. There were no significant
programs planned to better r e ­lations
among the organizations
themselves, much less with the
non-affiliated students. In all
fairness I might add that this lack
Beach
the interest
of interest could have been due
to the large size of the univer­sity.
But on the other hand this,
in my opinion should have been
more reason to engage an active
better relations program.
There are many cases in.point
which demonstrate the snobbish
attitude displayed by members of
fraternities and sororities, but I
can happily admit I have never
seen or heard of such displays
here on campus. If there have
been any they have been few in­deed
and probably the guilty per­sons
would have acted in such
manner whether or not they were
members. It seems that, due to
the prevailing interest shown, if
such cases did arise the organiza­tions
themselves would be the
first to initiate its end.
The closeness which exists b e ­tween
all Greek-letter organiza­tions
themselves is witnessed by
such things as their participation
in intramural sports programs,
date swaps and various compe­titive
programs in which they en­gage.
These organizations contri­bute
a great deal to the school as
a whole with their spirit, support
and cooperation.
BY NADINE BEACH
Independent students have al­so
done a great deal to help ex­isting
relationships. A fairly new
addition to the campus was the
woman's independent organiza­tion,
which was started last spring
and has done a great deal in
proving its value as an active
participant in college group life.
The idea behind a membership
in an organized group is fellow­ship
and with it the opportunity
offered by such groups for their
members to participate in self as
well as group training programs.
Here is afforded the opportunity
to learn more about yourself as
an individual as well as learning
about others and how to take an
active part and work in harmony
with others.
There are arguments offered
by members as well as non-mem­bers
as to the value of belonging
to Greek-letter organizations, but
whatever the reasons given, it is
a truth that belonging to an or­ganized
campus group does give
a more understanding and tole­rant
attitude to those concerned,
for it is an experience in living
which places one in close con­junction
with others.
BUT THIS IS COLLEGE, SUPPOSEDLY...
Rock n' Roll Still Dominates
BY BOBBY HARPER
A college located in as small a
town as Auburn can be a rather
unpleasant place, to go to school.
Off the beaten path, it is often
difficult and, even impossible, to
provide entertainment of the cali­ber
present in the larger cities.
Consequently, we would assume
that nationally known musical
groups would be enthusiastically
received by the student body. Such
has not always been the case.
Big names such as t h e Four
Freshmen, Stan
Kenton, Woody
Herman, Dukes
of D i x i e l a n d,
Joni James, and
June C h r i s ty
have performed
here in the last
two years. And,
in keeping with
the trend, t h e
skyrocketing Kingston Trio is
scheduled for a concert here in
March. This is top entertainment,
even for the more conveniently
located colleges.
The Freshmen, a nationally fa-
Harper
mous singing group, appeared at
Auburn Friday evening, Since the
deadline for this colmn is Thurs­day
night, we can't determine the
attendance figures for this dance.
But we do know of response given
the other bands and singers in the
past. And, for a school of 8,000
students^it has not been as good
as woula be expected and in some
cases has been surprisingly poor.
There has to be a reason for
this, and we think it can be traced
to the old musical scapegoat, rock
and roll.
The musical tastes of the typical
Auburn undergrad a r e truly
strange. They don't conform to
any particular pattern, but seem
to be a conglomeration of all types
with rock and roll the focal point
of the mixture. Jazz, with its var­ious
facets (progressive, dixie­land,
etc.), the ballads of the
Kingston Trio, popular, even hill­billy
are a part of the Auburn
musical scene. Nevertheless, we
can't get away from those unend­ing
African war chants.
All other types of. music take a
back seat to the hip-swinging,
duck-tailed groaners with the gui­tars.
The Union Cafeteria jukebox
blares from morning to night with
Fats Domino, Joe Turner, et al.
Fraternities are addicted to rock
and roll with a large majority of
parties featuring this type music.
Now, we say this is, or is not,
desirable. It just seems silly to
elevate rock and roll to such a
place of prominence in our col­lege
life. With jazz riding the crest
of such high popularity over the
country, we wonder why we don't
hear more around here. Its popu­larity
is certainly gaining at Au­burn,
but it's still more or less
confined to the hi-fi sets and is
not heard often on juke boxes,
and very seldom at fraternity par­ties.
Several years of rock and roll in
high school is enough. Let's leave
it there and try something new.

SPOTLIGHT
ON
SPORTS
By RONNIE McCULLARS . . . Sports Editor
A young sportsman from the University of Illinois was in the
fair city of Auburn last week. I say young, if you call 84 years
of age a youngster, if. you knew him you certainly wouldn't call
him old.
Dean C. M. Thompson was on the Plains for the purpose of
speaking at the Interfraternity Council Banquet last Tuesday
night. Those who attended the banquet sat through one of the
best talks on the fraternity system ever given in Auburn and
enjoyed a wonderful dinner.
A past national president of Delta Chi, and the first president
of Phi Eta Sigma, freshman scholarship honorary, are only two
of his accomplishments. You could begin today and it would
take untl the first of next month to name all of them.
Between speaking engagements and tours of the campus, Dr.
Thompson visited the Delta Chi chapter here on the campus.
And as many of you well know when old fraternity brothers
get together ,you can expect quite a long "bull session" which
may contain quips on subjects ranging from women to football
back in the 1800's. And this bull session did just that.
Dean Thompson reviewed college athletics in general dating
back as far as 1894 when he first began playing football.
He mentioned a few of the differences of the game from the
way it is played today. It might surprise some of you—it cer­tainly
did me—to know that during these years to play college
football the only requirement necessary was the desire to play.
There were no leagues or conferences which made you have to
maintain a 1.0 average to participate, in fact you didn't even have
to go to college.
The players weren't adorned in the protective attire of today's
gridiron hero. Very little padding was worn about the body
and no one knew what a helmet was.
"I can remember the hardest teams I ever played against,"
says the aging Doctor, "were the Army teams from over the
nation when I was stationed at Savannah, Georgia. These fellows
really believed in playing mean football, because if anyone got
hurt he wouldn't have to drill until his injuries were healed."
Mr. Thompson was quite a versatile man in the athletic

LSU Hunting Tiger Skein; Grapplers Face Citadel
Green Wave Stated Next
By LANCE HEARN
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Tiger remains in his lair
this week silently waiting, ready
to pounce. Once more two teams
of. hunters are coming, hoping
and praying that they can beard
the "killer" in his den and re­turn
home with a Tiger skin
for their wall.
On Saturday, Feb. 14, the
Bengals of LSU arrive, but not
with love on their minds.
February 16, the Tulane Green
Wave rolls in, desiring to smoth­er
the' 4th ranked team in the
nation.
LSU doesn't have enough
height or scoring ability, their
only chance in defeating the tal­ented
Plainsmen lies in their
spirit plus improved offensive
and defensive play. Four letter-men
from last year hold down
positions on the starting five:
forwards Jim Crisco, Wayne
Monson, Center Joe Combe,
guard Carey Guglielmo. Crisco,
a 6-2, 175-pound senior and the
proud possessor of two letters,
fits well in Coach Jay Mc-
Creary's fast breaking style of
play. He will be the man to
watch, as he has the ability to
outplay taller opponents under
the backboards, and has a very
effective one-hand jump-shot.
A lithe ambidextrous 6-1, 175-
pound junior, Monson will prob-abily
carry the Bengal scoring
load. One of. the SEC's top
sophs last year, he also has a
good one-hand jump shot with
either hand. This versatile quin­tet
is completed with 6-5 Joe
Sombs, a good rebounder and
scorer; Carey Guglielmo, 6-2, a
more poised a n d dangerous
player than last year; Tommy
Kaborn, 6-0, stocky, determined,
speedy, and a fine defensive
player.
Probable starters for Tulane
line up in this manner. Gary
Stoll and Robert Risk at guards,
Bic Klinker at center, and Louis
HENRY HART
Anderson and Guy Wenyel or
Al O'Brien at forwards. Stoll,
6-1, quick, clever, and an ex­ceptional
shooter at all times, is
at the guard slot for.the third
year. Robert Risk, 5-11 and
170, lettered in 1956-57, but was
bothered by a bad knee most of
the 57-58 season. The knee is
healed now, and he is tearing
up courts. Klnker, 6-5, one of
the tallest players on the var­sity
this year, was voted to
All-SEC Soph team last year.
The best board man, Anderson,
6-4, started last year at forward,
and could be the big man for the
Wave. Although not possessing
great height, O'Brien, 5-10, has
all potential of being a good ball
player, a hustler, most probably
he will see a great deal of ac­tion.
A soph, Gus Wenzel, has a
lot to learn, but is figured to
help Coach Wells.
Both of these teams lie in
sceond division of the SEC, but
a basketball team can make
crazy bounces sometimes. Who
can tell what might happen
when these two teams arrive on
the scene? A 26-game win
streak means nothing to them.
Besides, the law of. averages is
.bound to catch up with the
"winningest team in the nation,"
sooner or later. Why not Feb­ruary
14 or 16?
After a solid 21 to 13 victory
over the University of Chatta­nooga,
Coach Umbach's mat-men
are now preparing to meet
the Citadel Wrestling T e am
Feb. 13 in Charleston.
The Tiger grapplers beat the
Citadel wrestlers in a pre-sea-son
match at VMI, 31 to 5, but
Coach Umbach made it c l e a r
that there was no indication of
the Citadel strength. He said
that they weren't in good shape
before and hadn't been work­ing
as long as Auburn had.
In the Chattanooga match the
statistics were: in the 123-lb.
weight class, Auburn forfeited
to Herbert Deloach for lack of
a .wrestler in that class; in the
130 class, George McCrary won
by a fall over Conrad Nagel of
Chattanooga for Auburn in six
minutes and 56 seconds; in the
137 class, Felton Hastings of
Auburn won by a decision over
Henry McDonald by 6-0; in the
147 class, Leonard Ogburn of
Auburn won by a fall over
Max Nagel in one minute and
25 seconds; in the 157 class,
Buddy Bellsnyder of Auburn
won by a fall over Stanky Mer­cer
in five minutes and 15 sec­onds;
in the 167 class, Howard
Tutwiler of Auburn lost by a
decision to Rex Cox 5 to 5; in
the 177 class, Aubrey Davis of
Auburn lost by a fall to Lance
Parker in five minutes and 53
seconds; in the heavy weight
division Gardner Hastings of
Auburn won by a decision over
Loyd Hubbard 5 to 2.

Monday Session
Opens Practice
For New Season
By JOHN WALLACE
Plainsman Sports Writer"
With hardly a chance' to
catch their collective breaths
from the exertions of fall, the
1959 Tigers, red shirts, letter-men,
sophs, etc. donned their
regulation gridiron armor Mon­day
and headed for the prac­tice
field to battle amongst the
ranks.
On hand in an attempt to
solve the many problems of
conducting war on SEC oppon­ents
in the forthcoming season
was Ralph Jordon and staff.
Keeping a record of 24 games
without a defeat intact will
take a lot of solving and that's
what they're doing now.
The spotlights are centered
on a promising group of soph­omores,
juniors, and red shirts
who are all vying to fill the
vacancies left by graduation.
Not much can be l e a r n ed
from just two days of practice,
but by A-Day time, March 7,
some definite ideas should be
formulated and then tested in
the annual intra-squad contest.
The seniors who are work­ing
only in sweats now will
have to prove their meddle
against the "up and coming"
youngsters.
At this instant it appears that
the opening game lineup would
Burkett, Clapp, Rice, Sexton,
Wood or Harvard, Pettus, Raw-son
and Dyas. But this can
hardly be expected to hold true
and undoubtedly won't.
A new line of tackles, George
Gross, 235, Billy Wilson, 245,
Luddy Goetz, 230, and Leon
Myers, 220, are big and mobile
in the lusty Auburn tradition.
Other linemen, guards Hay­wood
W a r r i c k a n d Jimmy
Putnam, centers Wayne Frazier
and Murray Mullinax, and ends
Joe Leichtnam and Lamar Ech­ols
are trying to make a dent
in that lineup.
In the backfield, which Coach
Jordan believes to be his^shal- "
lowest positions, are a small
host of speed demons. Getting
special grooming at quarter­back
are Coley Cassedy and
Bobby Hunt, in case Bryant
Harvard, out the entire '58 sea­son,
fails to regain form. At the
halfbacks posts are Bobby Lau­der,
W a y n e Proffit, Jimmy
Morrow, and a flock of untest­ed
sophs, and at fullback Ron­nie
Robbs, Jimmy Reynolds,
and Ed Dyas all are gunning
for starting posts.

More miles are back in a gallon of regular-grade
gas—up to 10% more—and Chevy's new Hi-Thrift
6 engine puts them there. It also gives you more
"git" in the speeds you drive the most.
Here's an engine that always seems able to coax extra
miles out of a tank of regular-grade gas. In fact, if you're
one of those drivers who keep tab on things like gas
mileage, you'll soon see for yourself that this new Hi-
Thrift 6 gets up to 10% more miles a gallon.
Another thing you'll like about this 135-h.p. 6 is the
extra pep it gives you for passing and climbing hills. Thi3
is due to higher torque at normal speeds.
I t may be hard to believe anything that looks and
moves like this '59 Chevy can be such a stickler for
economy. But—whether you pick the Hi-Thrift 6 or a
vim-packed V8—this is just
one more reason Chevy's
the car that's wanted for all
i ts worth. Stop by your
dealer's and see. The smart switch is lo the '59 Chevy !

The Georgia Bulldogs made the fatal mistake last Saturday
night of trying to stop Auburn's shuffling offense With a man to
man defense. But what Harbin ''Red" Lawson's players forgot to
do was to play a point to point offense. While the Georgians were
helplessly watching the Tigers snoot layups, victory number &7
was becoming a reality. ,
When the final whistle had blown Auburn had defeated the
shuffle victims 95 to 69. The Georgia team seemed to be a bit con-conscious
of the over-flowing Auburn crowd and the home-court
advantage. This combined with Coach Joel Eaves' offense •patterrts
caused the Bulldogs to wish they were back .in :ancient Woodruff
Hall.
Coach -Lawson tryed everything, hut turning out the lights in
an attempt to stop or govern the Auburn scoring machine. Still
the men of the Plains just kept right on shuffling, then Lawsdn
decided if you can't beat it join it, so Georgia employed their
version of the shuffle. After a few minutes of this LawSoh must
have reached the conclusion that the deck was stacked. Since the
Plainsmen just kept right on reaching in and c o m i n g up with
ace after ace—Porter Gilbert, big Bill Gregory and still more.
One night about four years ago, Auburn and Georgia were.,
shooting it out in the Sports Arena in a nip and tuck game. A "big
"tackle" like boy by the name of Bill Gregory came off the bench,
and grabbed rebound after rebound 'to spur the Tigers on to vic­tory.
Saturday night Gregory practically duplicated that perfor­mance
by grabbing 15 rebounds and scoring 12 points.
A few old high school acquaintances were renewed as the
Tigers and Bulldogs squared off. Porter Gilbert and Georgia cap­tain
Fred Edmohdson both played high school hall in Geraldine,
Ala. They are very similar in one respect, this being that they are
probably the fastest players in the SEC.
Jimmy (Lee, Gordon Darrah, and Bobby Chaney all played at
Baker High in Columbus. Back in 1954 Chaney and Lee, both
guards, led Baker to the Georgia State Championship. Darrah is
a later edition of Baker and is currently leading Georgia in scor­ing.
In closing this week, I would like to Second Coach Babe Mc­Carthy
of Mississippi State on the fact that Auburn, who was--
fourth in AP, and Mississippi State, seventh in AP, have been 'by­passed
in the national ratings.
the Gators 93-71.
Georgia hecame Auburn's 27th
Straight victim last Saturday
night. Coach Joel Eaves' squad
6ut-rebounded, out-shot, and
but scored the hapless Bull­dogs
before a packed house in
the Sports Arena.
Six Tigers hit the basket
with deadly accuracy and con­nected
to produce double fig­ure
scores galore. Veterans Rex
Frederick and Henry Hart led
the scoring parade with 16 bas­kets
each. Porter Gilbert pop­ped
in 15, Jimmy Lee followed
with 13, Bill Gregory had 12,
and David Vaughn sank 10.
For the b e s t percentage
shooters in the nation, it was a
torrid 53.3 per cent from 'the
free throw line. Geoi-gia man­aged
a respectable 37.5 per cent

his vast potential as he

point-wise, 'of the season as he

one league, where everyone has
been beaten, but Y2 and D are
the top contenders at .present.

field. While playing at the University of Illinois, he coached
football, basketball and baseball at a smaller college in that state.
Nowadays the pros are after the college player, but in Thomp­son's
day it was vice-versa, he played 12 years of professional
football before beginning in the college ranks.
The young man reminisced on like that for hours. A frater­nity
man, that he is, a sportsman, that he is, a man of high
calibre, that he is, and now an Auburn man, that he is.
AUBURN'S still unbeaten Tigers continue to roll over all com­ers
in the Southeastern conference. Coach Joel Eaves has earned
the title in my book as the 1959 Coach of the Year. All the
odds were stacked against him before the opening of the season.
His ace, Rex Frederick, had to have a knee operation and nobody
was sure if he would play or not. Henry Hart injured the vul­nerable
knee which kept him out of. play last season. Add to
that a list of sophomores who must be tutored into shape for
SEC play.
He had an unbeaten streak going and the first game of the
season had to be started with three sophs in the lineup. What
happened? That is no secret to anyone, except maybe the UPI
Poll.
AND AUBURN has a friend down Mississippi way who is try­ing
his best to change that. State's basketball coach must be com­mended
by both SEC and Auburn sports followers. Babe Mc­Carthy
may be fighting a losing battle but he is in there scrap­ping
all the way.
Auburn footballers are getting back into the spotlight once
again as Spring drills have been underway for three days. The
seniors are in shorts but there is a lot to be noticed from the
youngsters in pads. They are the ones who'll make Auburn No.
1 in the nation in 1959.
Coach "Swede" Umbach's wrestlers looked like the south's
best in dropping the Chattanooga Moccasins last week. Umbach
has coached the Tigers through twelve SEC championships and
this year could terminate into the thirtheenth. •

HUSBANDS, ANYONE?
It has been alleged that coeds go to college for the sole purpose
of finding husbands. This is, of course, an infamous canard, and
I give fair warning that, small and spongy as I am, anybody
who says such a dastardly tiling when I am around had better
be prepared for a sound thrashing!-
Girls go to college for precisely the same reasons as men do:
to broaden their horizons, to lengthen their vistas, to drink at
the fount of wisdom. But if, by pure chance, while a girl is
engaged in these meritorious pursuits, a likely looking husband
should pop into view, why, what's wrong with that? Eh?
What's wrong with that?
The question now arises, what should a girl look for in a
husband? A great deal has been written on this subject. Some
say character is most important, some say background, some
say appearance, some say education. All are wrong.
The most important thing—bar none—in a husband is health.
Though he be handsome as Apollo and rich as Croesus, what
good is he if he just lies around all day accumulating bedsores?
8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, February 11, 1959
The very first thing to do upon meeting a man is to make
sure he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance to
sweet-talk you, slap a thermometer in his mouth, roll back his
eyelids, yank out his tongue, rap his patella, palpate his thorax,
ask him to straighten out a horseshoe with his teeth. If he
fails these simple tests, phone for an ambulance and go on to
the next prospect.
If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to the
second most important requirement in a husband. I refer to
a sense of humor.
A man who can't take a joke is a man to be avoided. There
are several simple tests to find out whether your prospect can
take a joke or .not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or burn
his "Mad" comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or turn loose his
pet raccoon. Or shave his head.
After each of these good-natured pranks, laugh gaily and
shout "April Fool!" If he replies, "But this is.February nine­teenth,"
or something equally churlish, cross him off your list
and give thanks you found out in time.
But if he laughs silverly and calls you "Little minx!" put him
to the next test. Find out whether he is kindly.
The quickest way to ascertain his kindliness is, of course, to
look at the cigarette he smokes. Is it mild? Is it clement? Is it
humane? Does it minister tenderly to the psyche? Does it
coddle the synapses? Is it a good companion? Is it genial? Is it
bright and friendly and full of dulcet pleasure from cockcrow
till the heart of darkness?
Is it, in short, Philip Morris?
If Philip Morris it be, then clasp the man to your bosom with
hoops of steel, for you may be sure that he is kindly as a sum­mer
breeze, kindly as a mother's kiss, kindly to his very marrow.
Arid now, having fuund a man who is kindly and healthy and
blessed with a sense of humor, the only thing that remains is to
make sure he will always earn a handsome living. That, fortu­nately,
is easy. Just enroll him in engineering. <t, ios9,Maisbuim»o
For filter smokers the Philip Morris Company makes Marl­boro,
the cigarette with better "makin's." New improved
filter and good rich flavor. Soft pack or flip-top box, A lot
to likel

Bowling Star At Lanes Tomorrow
Newly elected member of
bowling's Hall of Fame, Andy
Varipapa comes to Auburn to­morrow
Feb. 12, to give exhi­bitions
of his pin-spilling abil­ity
and world-famous t r i ck
shots at the Tiger Bowling Cen­ter,
through the cooperation of
the management and the Brun-swick-
Balke-Collender Com­pany.
The time of the exhibi­tions
are 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.
Bowling's "Little Giant" has
set so many scoring r e c o r ds
during his career that a re­sume
of them would take col­umns,
but he is proudest of all
of • his s e c o n d consecutive
triumph in the annual Ail-Star
Plainsmen M a u l .;
(Continued from page 7)
the foul hampered Frederick,
boards and started pouring in
Gregory continued to clear the
the-first of many points.
Coach Joel Eaves, comment­ing
on Gregory's performance
said: "I don't know if he play­ed
as well tonight as he did
against Kentucky last year in
Birmingham, but he looked like
a million dollars tonight.
In case there are those who
don't remember, Gregory rip­ped
the cords for six straight
points to put the Tigers out in
front of Kentucky last year.
Eaves emptied the bench with
13 minutes left in the game and
the second stringers continued
to hit with phenomenal eas and
the Tigers coasted to victory.
This was the Tigers highest
point producing effort s i n ce
they stopped Mississippi State
and Baily Howell 97-66.
Florida found t h e going
equally as tough against the
well versed Plainsmen cagers.
The Gators tried a man-to-man
and several different zone de­fenses
but could find nothing to
stop the fabulous shuffle.
Five Auburnites drove into
the spotlighted double figures
column. Jimmy Lee had one of
his most effective nights as he
hit for 21 points. Henry Hart and
Rex Frederick followed closely
with 18 and 16 points, respect­ively.
Jimmy Fibbe collected 11
and Jimmy Vaughn 10. Porter
Gilbert was not far off as he
hit for nine. Bill Gregory and
Ray Groover had four apiece.
Henry Hart and Rex Fred­erick
displayed Ail-Star perr
formances. Hart w a s nothing
short of a demon on defense
and Frederick was the games
top rebounder. As a team the
Tigers never looked better on
both offense and defense.
Dick Hoban hit six of the
Gator's first seven points but
the Tigers pushed ahead 10-7
with 15:37 left in the first half.
Florida failed to stop the shuffle
and Auburn spurted to a 51-36
half-time lead.
Rex Frederick's rebounding
sparked the Tiger's early second
half drive. Five consecutive
Frederick rebounds set up Au­burn
scores. Two layups by
Hart, a fade away shot by Lee,
a layup by Vaughn, and another
layup by Lee, sent the Tigers
soaring ahead 61-42 with 15:42
left on the clock.

CREATION IN
TECHNICOLOR
Tournament held in Chicago in
December, 1947.
There Andy met and defeat­ed
in man-to-man competition
the cream of the nation's bow­lers,
winning 40% games while
losing 28%, and averaging the
splendid score of 210.8 per
game to win the national match
game title.
This marked the second con­secutive
year in which Andy
won the finals of this rugged
event, at that time the only
bowler in history to boast such
a record.
In addition to holding bowl­ing's
most coveted crown for
two years in a row, Andy, with
his partner Lou Campi, also
held the national match game
doubles title in 1948, winning
the crown in Houston from the
best pairs of keglers in the na­tion.
He is fifth among all partici­pants
in the All-Star averages,
having rolled 794 games for a
total pinfall of 162,811, an av­erage
of 205.41. In addition, he
is near the top in the ten-year
averages of the American Bow­ling
Congress with a mark of
201.51, showing the remark­able
consistency of his kegling
under the toughest conditions.
Even the bowling experts ad­mit
that when it comes to trick
shots, there is no one to chal­lenge
Varipapa. Possessor of a
sharp-breaking hook and an
unerring eye, Andy is able to
make the most difficult shots,
often with either hand. One of
his most frequently requested
shots is one in which he rolls
a ball with either hand, one
ball picking off the 7-pin and
the other knocks off the 10-pin.
