Frosh Like Auburn
But Are Dismayed
By Long Lines
The influx of new freshmen on
the campus has brought with it a
variety of new faces and person­alities.
During registration, a
Plainsman reporter camped on
the steps outside Samford Hall
and interviewed several rat hat
wearers. Although one girl appar­e
n t l y thought he was trying to
get a date, most of the frosh were
cooperative.
Berkeley Bush, a pro-law stu­dent
from Mobile, said that he
was mixed up and wouldn't know
where to find his classes. "The
registration system is very good,"
said Berkeley. "In fact, I got just
the classes I wanted. I like it fine
here at Auburn and I'm looking
forward mostly to passing my
courses, but, of course, I'm going
to like football, basketball, base­ball
and intramurals too."
When asked if she were mixed
up, Nancy Beckmen, an education
major from Mobile said, "Huh?
yes, but I don't know how bad."
She wouldn't say how she liked
the registration procedure "be­cause
you might print it." Nancy
stated that she would love Au­burn
if she could ever get settled
and the main thing she is looking
forward to is a good night's sleep.
Nobie Cooper said she was very
mixed up. "Auburn is fine. It's a
great school but I don't like wait­ing
in that long registration line.
I don't know what I'm looking
forward to most—just every­thing."
A girl wearing a sorority
pin glanced at her and Nobie said,
"Oh, I'm looking forward to being
an AOPi." Nobie is a secretarial
training student from Bay Min-ette.
Larry Alsobrook, a native of
Selma who is studying architec­ture
said, "Yeh, I'm as mixed up
as you can get. I'm not sure how
I like the registration procedure
but I ought to; I stood in line so
long that I had plenty of lime to
think about it.
Mary Elizabeth Hanks, a P.E.
major from Birmingham said that
she didn't know whether she was
mixed up or not. "I liked registra­tion,"
said Mary, "my teacher did
it for me." When asked about
Auburn she stated that she just
"loved it, really." I'm looking for­ward
to getting on the Dean's list
and, oh yes, I'd sure like to have
a bid from Sigma Pi."
Sonny Clingan, a first quarter
student in ornamental photo­graphy
and book publishing from
somewhere in Mississippi, said
that registration "sure was com­plicated."
When asked if he were
mixed up, Sonny stopped swing­ing
his key chain and said, "Me
mixed up, Man, I'm a freshman."
Sonny agreed that Auburn was a
real cool lodge but claimed that
he was not in a position to say
how he really liked it. "I'm not
looking forward to anything spe­cial
this year," said Sonny as he
was making an appointment for
his Glomerata picture.
At The Union . . .
After last week's busy schedule
of registration and the Tennessee
game, the Union will settle down
this week. A free movie, "Love
Me or Leave Me" with Doris Day
and James Cagncy wiil be shown
in the Union Ballroom at 3 and
7 p.m. today and tomorrow.
The Union will hold a Pep Ral­ly
Dance on Oct. 3, for the Chat­tanooga
game.
New Construction Brings
Change To API Skyline
'Buildings Now In Both Construction
And Planning Stages' Says Punches
The Auburn skyline may be
unrecognizable to Auburn alumni
upon the completion of buildings
now in the construction or plan­ning
stage, according to Col. L. C.
Funchess, Director of Building
and Grounds.
The only project actually under
construction is the married stu­dents
apartments which will be
located west of the campus on the
extension of Magnolia and Thach
Avenues. Work began in early
August and has reached the stage
where the clearing has been com­pleted
and foundations are being
poured. The project which will
contain 240 apartments is sched­uled
for completion in August of
next year. G. E. Bass Company of
Jackson, Miss, is the contractor.
The architect has completed
plans for a three story classroom
building to be located on Dun­can
Street between B & G and the
shop buildings. Funds for this
building are not assured but if the
money is available it is hoped that
the contract can be let by Christ­mas.
This building will have 19
classrooms and 23 offices. It will
not be assigned to any single de­partment,
but rather will be used
by various departments as the
shop buildings are.
The construction schedule calls
for the contract for the new
buildings on Ag Hill and for Vet
School to be let soon after Jan. 1.
Funds for these buildings were
provided by the amendment pass-
Towers To Hold
Tea For Women
Towers is giving a tea for all
independent women on Wednes­day,
Oct. 1, from 7 until 8 p.m.
in the Social Center.
Towers is a new organization
on the API campus. It is intended
to be a service organization rather
than social. It plans to encourage
independent participation in cam­pus
activities, drives, and elec­tions,
and to present an annual
award to an outstanding woman
student.
Officers this year are President,
June "Shorty" Moore; Vice-Presi­dent,
Betty Sledge; Secretary, Ann
Sullivan; Treasurer, Margaret
Moore; Faculty advisers, Miss Su­san
Deloney and Miss Harriet

IRVINE STUDY SHOWS HOW FLORIDA
GETS SO MANY ALABAMA TEACHERS
Some amazing results have
been turned up as the result of
educational research by Dr. Paul
Irvine, head of the Education In­terpretation
Service at API.
Dr. Irvine wanted an answer
to the question: "How many teach­ers
are lost from Alabama schools
because salaries are lower than
in neighboring states?"
During the year 1956-57; Flori­da's
department of education is­sued
1,063 certificates to Alabama-trained^
teachers. What does this
mean to Alabama citizens in dol­lars
and cents?
"Let's assume," said Dr. Irvine,
"that, in return for 1,063 Alabama
teachers, 10 per cent as many
Florida-trained teachers moved to
Alabama. It costs the State of
Alabama about $1,600 to train each
High School Bands
Will Play Here
Next Saturday
The Auburn-Chattanooga foot­ball
fete will feature more than
the nation's No. 1 team here this
Saturday. According to Dr. Bodie
Hinton, band director, the annual
Band Day will also be held.
Thirty-two high school bands
are expected. The Anniston and
Andalusia bands are to perform
during the half-time ceremonies
in Cliff Hare Stadium. The total
musical manpower including the
Auburn bandsmen will probably
exceed 2300.
It is probable that a sizeable
percentage of the musicians have
already visited the campus before
to take part in a Band Clinic held
each summer on the campus. Last
summer the Clinic attracted more
than 400 from all over the state
for advanced instruction in nearly
all phases of music-making. Au­burn
High School won top honors
in this year's Clinic.
Auburn Players To
Present 'Our Town'
Starting Nov. 4
The Auburn Players will pre­sent
their first play of the fall
season, "Our Town," on Nov. 4,
in the Players' Theater; tryouts
began yesterday at 7:30 o'clock.
"Our Town," a Pulitzer Prize
play by Thorton Wilder, will be
under the direction of Mr. T. B.
Pcet. There will be a cast of 22
with an Oriental setting, and the
play will have a 10-night run.
Tickets will be available free
in Langdon Shop approximately
one week before the play begins
on Nov. 4. These free tickets are
for reserved seals, and all Auburn
girls may obtain late permission
tor any week night performance.
The Auburn Players plan to
stage "Visit to a Small Planet"
and "As You Like It" for their
next two plays.
teacher. If we multiply $1,600 by
975 (number teachers Alabama
loses .without replacement by
Florida-trained teachers) we find
that in 1956-57 Alabama contri­buted
to the State of Florida about
$1,500,000 in college - trained
teachers.
"Why this yearly loss of
teachers to the State of Florida?"
The answer is that teachers' sal­aries
are about $600 higher in
Florida than in Alabama. Until
Alabama salaries come nearer
matching Florida salaries, this
state will continue to donate to
Florida a million or more dollars
a year in trained teachers. At
present Alabama also suffers a
loss in trained teachers to Geor­gia,
Tennessee and Mississippi
Dr. Irvine estimates the loss of
Alabama teachers going to other
states to be about $2,500,000 a
year. If added to the state's sup­port
of its own schools, this
amount would be equivalent to an
additional $100 for each one of the
25,000 teachers of Alabama's
children. Or it would pay the an­nual
salary of 800 additional
teachers for Alabama's growing
school enrollment.
"Until we pay tietter salaries
we must pay twice for getting
trained teachers for our own
children," Dr. Irvine continued.
"Nearly half of the teachers we
train go to teach in other states;
some of them are among our best
teachers. In the meantime the
State of Florida may well para­phrase
the old saying, 'Thank God
for Alabama.'"
Free Chest X-Rays
To Be Available
October 7-17,
The mobile X-Ray units from
the Alabama State Health Dept.
in Montgomery will be in Auburn
Oct. 7. through the 17. X-Rays
which detect lung, heart, and bone
defects will be taken by these
units free of charge.
During the process of registra­tion
each student was given a
paper with the time of his X-Ray
appointment on it. This paper is
also to be used as the class ex­cuse.
If an appointment slip is lost
a new one can be obtained in the
Union Building outside the ball­room.
The X-Ray units will be
stationed at the Union Building.
The faculty and staff are urged
to take advantage of this offer
also. They report at any time dur­ing
the mobile units stay. The
colored staff is to come on Oct. 10.
It is highly urged that students
take advantage of this valuable
service to the campus commun­ity.
Infirmary To Give
Free Flu Shots
Starting Monday
In an attempt to prevent a re­currence
of last year's influenza
epidemic Drake Infirmary has a
supply of free vaccine which will
be distributed starting next Mon­day.
The vaccine, to provide max­imum
immunization, is given in
two shots three weeks apart.
Attempts were made last year
to procure the vaccine but the
short supply rendered them futile.
As a result an epidemic filled the
infirmary to overflowing. Mag­nolia
Hall lounges were convert­ed
to improvised wards and hund­reds
were sent home with the sel­dom
serious but absence-causing
Asiatic flu.
Auburn's own epidemic was
minor in comparison with other
schools in the country. Some
schools closed their doors and
many postponed final exams un­til
the virus had run its course.

"Scrappy" Moore and his ever improving Chattanooga
Moccasins invade Cliff Hare Stadium Saturday in an effort
to stop the nation's longest winning streak of fifteen held by

are fielding a team that is as
good if not better than last
year's national champs.
The Mocs will bring to the
Plains one of their finest teams
in several years. They lost one
man off their first unit and a
total of three from their first
two teams.
The main threat will be in the
passing arm of ace quarterback
John Green. Many of the Tiger
fans will remember Green for
the excellent job that he did
last year when he completed
eight straight passes in the
Tiger's 40-7 romp.
Last year this passing wizard
set a new school record as he
hurled for a total of 1,201 yards,
completing 87 tosses. Thus far
this campaign he has 9 for 15
and 169 yards and four touch­downs.
Coach Joe Connally, who
scouted the Tennesseens relat­ed
that, "They have poise and
confidence, which should make
them hard to handle."
Green's favorite- target is'-end
Jimmy Tucker. Probable start­ers
at the tackles will be Charles
Long and Dan Sheehan while
one guard post will be held
down by Captain Hyman Rizer
and Bill Rewis should get the
center nod.
Donnie May, who left the
Plains in the spring of 1957,
is the Moc's second string full­back
and presently is pushing
for the number one job.
For the Tigers it will be the
same line up that started against
Tennessee with the exception of
junior fullback Ronnie Robbs.
He will be out for the rest of
the season as the result of a
knee injury. He had the knee
operated on Monday morning.
Hoping to fill the gap will be
sophomore Ed Dyas from Mo­bile..
Dyas filled in for the sec­ond
half of last Saturday's
game and turned in a fine per­formance.
The starting team will be Jer­ry
Wilson and Mike Simmons,

Jeffery, tackles; Zeke Smith

AGR Wins IFC Scholastic Award
Alpha Gamma Rho, a frater­nity
for agriculture students at
API, won the Interfraternity
Council Scholarship Award for
the second year in a row.
Presentation of the award took
place during the fraternity's an­nual
barbecue, which entertained
more than 100 students and alum­ni
at the Dairyland Farms near
Opelika.
According to J. L. Lawson, As­sociate
Director of the API Ex­tension
Service, a fraternity win­ning
the award three consecutive
years gets to keep it. Lawson,
faculty advisor of the Xi Club
(an orgnization of Alpha Gamma
Rho alumni), said the IFC award
is the highest honor given to a
social fraternity. He explained
that the Alpha Gamma Rho boys
have averaged the highest grades
of any group on the campus for
the past three years, but the
award has been a part of the pro­gram
only during the last two
years. Therefore, the fraternity
will have to win again during the
coming year to claim the trophy
permanently.
Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the
API School of Agriculture and
head of the Experiment Station,
presented the trophy to Tommy
Pruitt president of the fraternity.
Dr. Smith is president of the Xi
Club.
ALPHA GAMMA RHO FRATERNITY won the Interfraternity Council Award this week for the
second year. Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the API School of Agriculture and president of the Xi Club

Fraternities Pledge New Men
Rush week ended Friday
night at midnight for the 550
Freshmen men and the 22
f raternitiets. When quiet
hours ended Sunday at three
many of the Freshmen had ac­cepted
bids from the frater­nities
of their choice.
Lanny Crane, the President of
IFC, says that he feels this rush
week has been very outstanding
from the standpoint of the num­ber
of men affiliating with frater­nities
and the respect the Greek
organizations have shown for the
IFC rush rules.
The number of Freshmen par­ticipating
in rush was about the
same as last year. The major dif­ference
in the rush system was
the use of bid cards. The cards
were not used last year.
The pledges by fraternity arc:

Statistics Prove Bass
Cost $8.66 Per Pound
BY BRYANT CASTELLOW
The whole idea of fishing is the
product of a frustrated and dis­torted
brain, a drawback to our
childhood days when the joys of
the stream were pictured in di­rect
contrast to the duties and
tasks of the classroom. Fishing
is a devil that grasp our inner
souls and tears us from the joys
of a home and the warmth of a
fireside and cast up upon a rocky
shoreline from the wee hours of
night through the windswept
dawn, the heat of midday, the
rain of the afternoon and the chill
of the dusk.
The fisherman is the only
creature in nature that thrives on
dissappointment and bask in the
glory of the one that was nearly
his. Perhaps he has caught many
thousands of the larger members
of a species but in relating his ex­periences
to you he inveriably re­calls
the memory of the creature
that fought the longest and then
parted the line just as he came
within reach.
To the southern fisherman the
lord of the land and king of the
creel is the bronze back warrior,
the largemouth bass. The U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service uses the
figure of $2 a pound for the re­creational
value of bass. Outdoor
Life released some figures a bit
more surprising than this. The
famed outdoor magazine showed
that on the average it cost ap­proximately
$1.22 per pound of.
fishing to claim to be a bass fish­erman.
The magazine also used
statistics to show that the time
element involved in catching a
pound of the royal fish was 7.1
hours, bringing the grand total to
$8.66, the average cost per pound
of bass. A fisherman must have
either a rich taste or a poor sense
of economy.
Fishing is not a sport for the
gentle or the tranquil or for peace

Dawson Warns
Of Heavy Traffic
Expected Saturday
Chief Dawson of the Campus
Security Office requested yester­day
that students and townspeople
exercise extreme caution when
driving or walking in Auburn this
weekend.
Dawson explained ihat the
heavy influx of visitors for the
Auburn-Chattanooga game will
make already crowded traffic
conditions more hazardous than
ever. In stressing the need for
safety the Chief emphasized four
points to which particular atten­tion
should be paid.
1. Auburn residents are re­quested
to leave their automobiles
at home and walk to the game.
2. Pedestrains should use cross­walks,
obey lights and refrain
from startling drivers.
3. Speed should be reduced to
the minimum safe rate.
4. Visiting relatives or friends
should be advised to come early
to avoid the expected last minute
rush of heavy traffic.
tension of Thach Ave. The $100,-
000 structure was designed by
Walter E. Burkhardt, professor of
architect here.
The building itself is L-shaped
and of a lodge design in four
levels.
The first level consists of a
living room, dining room, and
kitchen.
On the second level is the
housemother's apartment, a study
and lounge area, a guest powder
room, and a fraternity office that
includes living quarters for the
OTS president and treasurer.
The third and fourth levels pro­vide
dormitory space for 36 men.
In the future, the members are
looking forward to the installa­tion
of a central heating and air-conditioning
system.

of mind or rest of body. Often the
hollow phrase, "the restful lake,"
is used to represent a place where
the days last from 3:30 a.m. until
long after dark and the time is
restful used in rowing a boat,
wading a stream, untangling mo-nofiliment
line, struggling to free
a priceless plug from a log just
out of reach under the surface,
hiding from the lashing winds of
a thunderstorm under a small
tree, trying to ignore the pangs of
hunger because it is too far to
walk just for an overdue lunch,
searching endlessly for the place
that they bit so well the year be­fore
last, wishing that you had
remembered to pick up that hat
with the wide brim when you left
and the morning sun was not
quite so burning on your face,
cleaning fish by flashlight while
the mosquitoes swarm and sleep­ing
on the hard ground because
you are a fisherman and fisher­men
are expected to rough it.
These incidents constitute the
joyful days at the restful lake.
Fishing becomes an incurable
communicable disease, infect­ing
the one it possesses and
spreading to his associates. It is
maddening and overpowering and
gives a burning sensation if curb­ed.
It is a selfish desire, licensed
by the state and tolerated by a
merciful and understanding so­ciety.
Deal gently with these unfor­tunate
misguided souls, for their's
is a lot of forever wandering the
earth with a determined smile on
their face and a light in their eyes.
They are careless of their precious
time, unworried of the future, en-dentured
to hardship, and heedless
of criticism.
Deal gently with them for I too
am a slave to the bronze-back
warrior.

The Dolphin Club
Invites Students
To Join Group
The Dolphin Club is organized
to unify students into one group
that will be recognized on the
Auburn campus for their skill in
form and synchronized swimming.
The club promotes social coopera­tion
among students of like inter­est
and advances the standards of
teaching and leadership in the
field of swimming.
The club has positions for both
men and women students. The
beauty and smoothness of the wo­men's
swimming and the feeling
of strength and power of the
men's swimming offers a change
of pace which keeps an audience
alert.
Choregraphy for men and wo­men
swimmers is so different that
when a routine has been com­posed
for men only, no girl would
be able to make the correct ap­pearance
even if she had the abil­ity
and vice versa.
The membership of the Dolphin
Club is not limited in number.
Any student who is interested and
qualifies may become a member.
Dolphin Club tryouts will be held
Thursday, Oct. 2 at 6:30 p.m. in
alumni gym and all interested
persons are welcome. ...

Union Building - Neglected;
Was Once Demanded
4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, October 1, 1958
IN "THE DESERTED VILLAGE"
^UTHEMAM-'CAWPUS^f What Goldsmith Really Meant...
In 1954 Auburn completed construction
of a building offering leisure facilities to
the students, faculty, and guests of the in­stitution.
This building answered Au­burn
ites' needs for a place to study, relax,
and enjoy recreational activities.
Four years later a disinterested observ­er
might think that the Union Building
wasn't as badly needed as it semed at the
time. A large amount of the union is not
used by the majority of the students.
It may be that we students who fail to
use all the facilities of the Union actually
don't realize that they exist. During orien­tation
when the union is put on display
for all the new freshmen, many groups see
it late in the week when negative atti­tudes
exist in their minds and their chief
interest is in getting through.
It could be easy at a time such as this
to overlook the wood hobby shop in the
basement or the music rooms on the third
floor. Later when a chair in your room
needed repairing or you needed to relax
your mind to the music of the masters,
ignorance can be a physically uncomfor­table
or a mentally unfulfilled situation.
. A word to the wise is sufficient . . .
Don't overlook the commuters' lounge, the
checking out of athletic equipment in the
basement, the low prices in the college
book store, the displays in the lobby, the
lost and found department at the union
desk, the television, cards and chess of
Bradley Lounge, the kitchenette, the many
meeting rooms and the other conveniences
of the Union.
We are fortunate to have a modern
Union Building. But like the proverbial
pearls before swine it may well be that the
building may grow antiquated and obsolete
before it is iworn out.—Castellow
Honest Rush ? Guess Again1!
Last week an editorial was published in
this paper praising a "noticeable change
in the general atmosphere of rush." We
stated that the fraternities on campus had
"at last come to their senses" and realized
that the IFC rules on rushing were for the
benefit of all.
We must now apologize for our gulli­bility.
Our premature observation has
been proved laughingly erroneous.
What we saw as improvement in atti­tude
was only the quiek watchfulness de­manded
by the threat of a half-dozen or
so IFC committees. As soon as it became
obvious that these committees were no
longer in constant attendance, rules were
cast aside without qualm.
Perhaps we were overly optimistic to
expect an overnight change in a system
that has lacked effective regulation for
years. We do not think it too much how­ever
,in view of repeated pleas, warnings
and finings, to look for a growing accept­ance
of the long-established principles of
fair play embodied in the IFC rush rules.
Events of the last week have convinced
us that the acceptance we expected is
either so slow in coming it is yet indes-cernable,
or a myth altogether.
We are somewhat puzzled that organi­zations
founded on "Christan Ideals," "hon­orable
traditions," and other impressive
cornerstones find it so easy to act dishon­estly.
We cannot believe that a true
"character-building" institution would
need constant supervision to see that it
adhered to principle.
The fraternities that have been fined so
far for rules infractions are only a few.
They are not the only ones that are guilty.
They are only the ones who have been
caught.
Despite the extensive efforts of IFC
officers to prevent it, any fraternity can
break any rule and run only a small risk
as far as being fined for it is concerned. In
the end, improvement must come from
within each individual fraternity.
For this year Rush Week is over. Next
year, a few of the fraternities may take
the lead and conduct an honest rush pro­gram
despite the many contrary tempta­tions.
After that we can houe for a few
more to follow the same path, and more
after that. Hypocrisy is a deep-seated hu­man
failing. In this particular instance it
is strengthened by its longevity.
It should be overcome. With an en­lightened
fraternity leadership, it can be
overcome.

A STUDENT LOOKS AT
College Professors
A New Auburn Spirit
With the nation's top football team per­forming
below them, Auburn's student
gathering boomed out their cheers in
extraordinary manner at the Tennessee
shellacking Saturday.
As usual, the rumble of an inspired
partisan crowd urged the Tigers onward
through the ever-thundering blasts of
"War Eagle." Only that day it was some­what
different. As the game rolled on,
and the volume of cheering increased, it
was an easy matter to detect something
new in the tones of those Auburn voices.
The keener ear might label it as a "revised
spirit," developed currently by students
who love Auburn and realize their respon­sibility
for a great contribution toward
their team's staying on top.
Auburn's new cheer, "Who's got the
Number One? We've got the Number One
. . . Auburn, Auburn, War Eagle," was one
which should be long remembered in the
Birmingham vicinity. When head-cheer­leader
Mark Goodwin called that one, he
received nearly perfect cooperation. Non-
Auburn observers were well-impressed.

But Auburn's hopes of showing America
our top-notch spirit were futile. As re­ported,
the national television hookup
never tuned in on the eruptions of cheer­ing
from the stands of Legion Field. This
was unfortunate to our attempts of re­deeming
ourselves throughout the land,
but such things just happen.
Friday night's Chattanooga pep rally
will set the stage for Saturday's continua­tion
of the spirit shown in our '58 opener.

On Tradition
Last week approximately 1300 rat caps
were sold to first quarter freshmen. Since
each cap costs a dollar it's pretty obvious
that there is a sizable chunk of money tied
up in the beanies.
The question that we're raising here is
a real puzzler. We know the caps have
been purchased but where are they? They
couldn't have all been lost within the five
day period following the conclusion of
freshman registration. Even if they have
been, ample time has elapsed to allow their
replacement.
We must conclude, therefore, that the
freshmen simply don't want to wear the
badge of their station in API. Perhaps the
college is extremely fortunate to have en­rolled
a clas so sophisticated as to ignore
tradition but we think not.
It has been an age-old custom here for
the freshmen to wear their rat caps Until
we beat Alabama, or through the Fall
quarter if the football team didn't fare as
well as hoped. We suspect that there is
•more purpose to this custom than the mere
hazing of the freshman class. The rat cap
is a symbol of the transition from high
school to the status of an Auburn student.
When its wearer has earned the right to
discard it, he should be thoroughly familiar
with the Auburn Way of Life.
We would like to see the rat caps worn
again. ;s»i*j5|
We would also like to see the other tra­ditions
pertaining to the freshmen rein­stated.
Our customs have long been an
integral part of the general atmosphere
prevailing on the Auburn campus. A de­tailed
account of these may be found in the
Tiger Cub.
At first thought this may seem
a rather senseless subject upon
which to waste one's time when
there are so many other topics,
such as women, girls and lemales,
which one could assault with his
unlimited vocabularly.
But the subject for today,
Wednesday, Oct. 1, 1958, is still
"The Care and Feeding of College
Professors." Here again, I must
give credit where credit is due,
for this title has been borrowed.
Perhaps willingly, wrongfully,
knowingly and without justifiable
cause did take, steal and carry
away with intent to permanently
deprive the owner of possession
thereof; would describe it more
closely, but in view of the fact
that this brings to close to charge
two, specifications One of the Lee
County Law Manual, we will just
conclude that it was borrowed.
So before we are detoured to
that ever present problem of
"What's Wrong with Women," we
will continue with the topic at
hand.
11 According to the big Webster's
International in the college lib­rary,
a professor is — "one who
professes, or makes open declara­tion
of sentiments, beliefs, alleg­iance,
etc., specifically, one who
makes open declaration." . . . but
it also says that "professes" (that
which a professor does) may em-compass
a vast amount of pro­fessions.
But who are we to in­duce
a professor to "make open
declaration" of what he "pro­fesses?"
Especially out of the
classroom. . . . (gulp! . . . Ahlah
. . . Ichabon. . . . 'morning Pro­fessor,
didn't see you come in,
you're looking great. . . . beautiful
day isn't it. . . . gotta run now
sir. . . . studies you know. . . .)
I knew I should have stayed with
"What's Wrong With Women."
Nevertheless, as can be seen
from the above, the professor,
"Dean," "Doctor" or what-have-you,
is a man of rare distinction,
of high position, a man to be
honored and bowed too, for it is
. . . HE . . . and none other who
originates those most sacred
documents of all . . . the grades
. . . the assignments . . . and
horrors )the theme titles.
Therefore, "The Care and Feed­ing
of College Professors" i:> a
BY NORMAN WEST
most important part of every stu­dent's
daily routine, for when . . .
HE . . . is angered, there is no
equal wrath.
"Oh great white father and
bearer of many degrees, visitor
to four hog callings and two coun­ty
fairs," with the approbation
afforded one of his position, the
professor of the "rat cap" so ex­claims
before he dares to enter
the professor's office, be it a ma-sonary
work of. art or a eanvass-topped
house of command, strong-backed
under the able eyes of the
campus clown (alphabetical order
according to degrees places the
above-mentioned three men be­hind
me, therefore, I repeat . . .
the campus clown.)
When the professor arises in the
morning, from a deep, restful and
untroubled sleep, the porter opens
the door and. lets him out, the
bartender having long since re­tired
after a night's honest labor.
Feeling spry and many years
less than his registered. . . . (I
didn't put it down prof. . . . I
didn't put it down) years he en­ters
his office. > i! •••••
If you should meet him, per­chance,
on his daily rounds, re­member
not to get your trousers
dirty falling to your knees to
say "Allah." All "Profs" frown
upon dirty trousers. Another im­portant
point to remember is
the all-important remark as to
his good looks and obviously
high state of physical condition.
One can make many points in
this manner and it has been
known to raise one as high as
ten points on the quarter average.
A most important DON'T . . .
never remove your hat as you
bow, he may feel that you are
showing off your curly locks, of
which there is a noted absence on
his part, and in addition to his
bulging waistline, this is a very
touchy subject with the "great
one."
Should he decide, after these
many frustrating quarters, to once
again honor our humble office in
which we daily slave, he would
probably find us fast at work.
. . . "I have been aiming to write
this article ever since that event­ful
day in grade school when I
discovered that bicycles come in
two distinct styles. . . ."
These familiar words confront
the reader of Oliver Goldsmith's
poem, "The Deserted Village." Al­though
neither API nor even Ala­bama
existed at the time of the
poem was written, these words
have since been used quite a few
times in reference to a certain
small city of Lee County, Ala.
The rolling plains of Dixie have
given birth to an educational in­stitution
whose fame has far ex­ceeded
that of Goldsmith's small
Irish village. As one reads over the
lines of the poem, it is amusing
to note the lines which so aptly
describe the Auburn which we
know. Obviously Auburn hasn't
changed much in the past 200
years. A few random lines are
presented by way of proof.
"I still had hopes—for pride
attends us still—
Admist the swains to shew
my book-learned skill."
Obviously "flunking out" was a
quaint custom observed by Au­burn
students even then. Anyone
who can't spell "show" any better
than this deserves to flunk.
Students must have had an
easier time, since they were not
plagued by aerodynamics, rocket
mechanics, nuclear engineering,
telephone and television engineer­ing,
or nuclear physics. History
was probably a bit easier, since
there was less of it, and Air Force
ROTC must have been a breeze,
indeed.
"Could not all reprieve the
tottering mansion from its
fall?
Obscure it sinks, nor shall it
more impart
An hour's importance to the
poor man's heart."
Goldsmith is clearly referring
to Broun Hall, which must have
been decrepit even then. Broun
Hall would probably make a nice
lcan-to if it only had something
to lean to. Someday the state is
going to replace that building (we
hope). Or perhaps they plan to
let it become the eighth wonder
of the ancient world.
"Here while the courtier glit­ters
in brocade,
The pale artist piles his sickly
trade."
This is obviously a reference to
Biggin Hall. Auburn art students
probably couldn't draw anything
except flys even in Goldsmith's
day. The quality of their work is
improving, however. Kress 5&10
tells me that the art department is
buying their most difficult color
books now.
"The glades forlorn confess
the tyrant's power."
Auburn seems to have had
many of their present professors
at the time this poem was writ­ten.
I had an English professor
who cut his finger and bled ice
water all over his desk. I liked
my swimming coach, although he
was a bit absent-minded. He
would call the wrong roll, and
then give a 15 minute lecture on
the evils of cutting classes. One
poor fellow had flunked the
course so many times that he was
beginning to grow gills.
"Where crouching tigers wait
their hapless prey,
And savage men, more mur-deous
still than they."
No War Eagle could mistake this
clear description of Cliff Hare
Stdium. In 1769, Auburn had the
BY BILL SPANN
national champion cricket team.
When Sir Woodward P. Hayes of
Ohio State inquired " Whom did
they play?", sports reporters were
invented to prevent such ignor­ance.
It did no good, however,
since- Woody was unable to find
anyone at Ohio Stale who could
read a newspaper to him. These
were happy days at Auburn, since
Noah Webster had not yet put
"probation" in his dictionary, and
the NCAA was too busy trying to
outlaw dragon racing, on the
grounds that it was a fire hazard,
to bother anyone. "Bear" Bryant's
great-great-great grandfather was
trying without success to rebuild
a University of Alabama team to
win their independence from
Bryce Institute. (I understand that
the only difference between the
two is that the "students" at
Bryce I. have to show improve­ment
before they can get out.)
"The bashful virgin's side­long
looks of love,
The matron's glance that
would those looks reprove."
Housemothers were busy inter­cepting
passes as usual. Records
show that on October 8, 1769, a
coe-ed actually said "yes" when
asked for a date! This was, of
course, before robots which
laughed, said "Go soak your head."
and then hung up, were installed
in all phone booths of the girl's
dormitories. Records also show
that there was a male student
enrolled in Courtship and Marriage
in the spring quarter of 1770,
which proves that in spring a
young man's fancy lightly turns
to thoughts of what young ladies
have been thinking about all year.
NATION WONDERS
Is Beat Cult Disappearing?
Sunday's issue of This Week
magazine featured an article by
Joe Hyams entitled "Goodbye to
the Beatniks". It deals with the
fading of the Beat Generation and
what to look for in its place.
The Beat Generation is the
name the present cult of Bohem­ians
are using to describe them­selves.
It has no goals or aims but
prides itself on being different as
have most so-called "generations"
of the past few decades.
• The end of the Korean War saw
the rise of the Beats. They seem­ed
to hit their peak in the era of
James Dean, who is recognized as
one of the beatist of the Beats.
They have no religion. Jazz and
poetry are their stimulents. The
writing of Jack Kerouac, the rec­ognized
spokesman of the Beats,
is their Bible. Their homes are
the dives in cities all over the U.S.
and Greenwich Village in New
York.
However, the end is in sight for
the Beats. They're being infiltrat­ed
by too many drug addicts,
thieves, and bowery bums trying
to obtain the thin veneer of re­spectability
they believe is to be
found with the Beats.
Actually, respectability is not
sought by the true Beat. It is to
be shunned as are all conventiali-ties
of modern society.
Every generation has its crack­pots,
pseudo-intellectuals, intel­lectuals,
and idealistic young
people who attempt to ostracize
themselves from socie^ by en­listing
in some cause. *They feel
that to conform is to lose dll In­dividuality,
therefore they rebel
from the popular social pattern
and its responsibilities.
This strange behavior is, of
course, not restricted to the U. S.
We are constantly hearing of left-wing
student riots and demonstra­tions
in foreign countries. For ex­ample,
the Nixon riots in South
America were composed largely
of communist student groups.
The desire for progress and
change has always been charac­teristic
of young, ambitious peo-
BY BOBBY HARPER
pie. True, sometimes this youth­ful
energy is channeled in the
wrong direction.
The communists have capitaliz­ed
on this innate desire to be dif­ferent
by trickery and persuasive
propaganda. Thus, unwittingly,
many misguided students, for the
sake of being different are work­ing
for a cause that if ever suc­cessful,
will deprive them of the
very right they are exercising by
working for the party.
On the other hand, this apart­ness
from his fellow man has in­spired
some of our best artists
and writers. Much of our Ameri­can
culture has been derived from
these Bohemian sections. Jazz
was born in New Orleans in the
dives and bars of the back streets.
This passing of the Beat Gene­ration
will be gradual. You won't
even realize until a new group
suddenly pops up on the horizon
and the cycle starts over.
They're fun to read about. May­be
next summer . . . No! I couldn't
do anything like that.
FROM FROSH TO SENIOR
A College Man's Trek
TODAY
Freshmen Are Lucky
' uw+**,i*r.
If you "Rats" around here to­day
think the upperclassmen are
too rough, just wait . . . "you
ain't heard nothing yet!"
It was the year 1924 that the
words "Rat, shine my shoes before
I backhand you one!" were not
uncommon around Tiger Town.
Those were the days when "Booz­er"
Pitts coached our illustrious
football team for the next games
with Howard, Virginia Polytech
or Georgia Tech. It is these ex­periences
that alumni still chuckle
over when they gather for a bull
session.
The "Rat" of the Plains today is
probably non-existant. The "Rat
Creed" is not recited anymore up­on
the request of an upperclass-man,
and hazing in general is a
thing of the past.
In those days of yore when
co-eds were unheard of on the
Auburn campus, the "Rat" led an
eventful life. "Rat Rules" were set
up in the constitution and had to
be obeyed by every frosh, regard­less
of any loopholes he might
find in them. Printed in The
Plainsman on Feb. 1, 1924 were
these rules.
"Rat Rules"—Failure to. eoaaply
BY TIM BATTLE
with these rules may prove costly
to the transgressor.
1. Freshmen shall wear no caps
or hats inside college buildings.
2. Freshmen shall wear rat caps
at all times during weekdays ex­cept
when in uniform.
3. Freshmen shall not go
through the main entrance gate.
4. Freshmen shall smoke only
cob pipes in public.
5. Freshmen shall give full
support to all pep meetings.
6. Freshmen shall get out on the
bleachers or stay off the street
during football practice.
7. Freshmen shall remain seat­ed
until after all upperclassment
have left any public meeting.
8. Freshmen shall keep off the
streets after 9 p.m. except when
attending public entertainment.
9. Freshmen shall at all times
supply matches to seniors.
10. Freshmen are not allowed
at any train unless they have a
pass from the Vigilance Commit­tee
or a ticket showing that they
are going away on the train.
Well, for you "Rats'" sakes, I
hope I haven't given any ideas to
some enterprising upperclassmen.
Good luck. .i^^^-
Freshman men, observation will
prove, are scared as hell. They
wreak of uncertainty, insecurity,
and of the vile urge to impress.
Theirs is the immediate delimma
of whether to carry themselves
with a dignified air, dress astu­tely,
converse intellectually and
generally conduct themselves in
an academic manner, as they
know all Auburn men do, or to
push studies to a secondary spot,
go to football games, guzzle good
liquor, and grommel in grade A
experimental dirt, as temptation
would have them do. And, as if
this isn't enough, the poor fools
must somehow cope with the par­ental
pressures from home by
writing religiously to the folks
with the right hand while fight­ing
off the inevitable surge of
feminine advances with the left.
Freshman men have a right to be
scared.
Sophomore males, we know
from experience, know (from ex­perience)
everything. A far cry
from by-gone freshmanhood, they
have in a single year, swallowed
their uncertainties, drunk down
their insecurities, and chased the
two with arsenic of lead or some­thing
equally as potent and viri­lity-
giving. Sophomores h a ve
made their impressions. Theirs is
the uncanny ability to have com­pletely
educated themselves in
three quarters of near-remedial
courses designed to orient more
than to educate.
Junior males are merely com­placent.
They are neither pitifully
enthusiastic, like freshmen, over-
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
bearing like sophomores, nor lud­icrously
optimistic like seniors.
They are somewhere hopelessly in
between and they know it. If
they have a virtue, it could well
be an awareness of their situa­tion,
and any such virtue is quick­ly
and easily over-shadowed by
an accompanying lack of spunk
to do anything about it.
And senior men, having reach­ed
the jumping-off place in life,
are fully convinced of the futility
of college, education and other
such impractical bosh. They have
secured a woman, a reputation,
promises of a job and diploma
and all other ultimates that can be
fastened to a key chain or other­wise
exemplified to their grand­children.
AT AUBURN
Why First Quarter Frat Pledging?
Although most of Auburn's fra­ternities
seemed well-pleased with
their pledge turnouts last Sun­day,
the fact has emerged that our
system of first quarter rush is in­adequate
and could certainly stand
an overhauling.
Under our present setup, fresh­men
came to a school entirely new
to them. In many cases they
weren't at all familiar with a
single fellow student. Only a week
later they wore a fraternity
pledge pin. Without such illogical
planning on the part of those
whose job it is to regulate rush,
fraternities would obviously be
far happier in the long run.
At Duke University as well as
on the campusea of various other
schools throughout the nation,
every boy must wait at least a
quarter or semester before he may
pledge. In that first college tenure
he must make his required grades
in order to be eligible for pledg­ing.
Under such circumstances a
boy is more settled into the swing
of college life before he enters
the time-consuming activities of
a fraternity. Making his grades
while an independent, the boy
proves his ability to do work on
a college level. Too many boys
who never make their grades
hinder fraternities on the cam­puses
of schools holding early
rush, only to be dropped from the
pledge rolls after three unsuccess­ful
quarters.
Mosl-imaortant of all, the frat
BY JIM PHILLIPS
has a chance to watch and judge
prospective rushees under the
Duke system. Likewise, the fu­ture
pledge secures a firm view
into the true lives of the brothers
composing the various organiza­tions.
They'll both be sure of each
other when rush time arrives.
Under our system far too many
fraternities and rushees are fool­ed
during that one short week.
Thus after close inspection, this
aspect of Auburn's fraternity rush
appears to be a failure. If ever
adopted, the Duke system should
greatly improve API's Greek or­ganizations,
for each group would
find themselves far closer to
pledging the boys most suited to
their way of life.
Five College Operated Dining Halls
Serve 8,000-9,000 Meals Per Day
By Burton Pearson
Where does the food served in college dining halls come
from? How much does it cost? How does it get to Auburn?
How much of it comes from the college farm? These are ques­tions
that we've wondered about and feel certain that others
may have too.
The food used by the five col­lege
operated dining halls, Wom­en's
cafeteria, Magnolia Dining
Hall, War Eagle Cafteria and
Snack Bar in Ihe Union Building,
Plainsmen Athletic Dining Hall,
and Alumni Dining Hall, is pur­chased
by the API Food Service
of which Mrs. Kathryn Rush is,
the director. Each dining hall
dietician requisitions food used
daily from the central storage
building.
The food service supplies 8-
9000 meals a day during regular
quarters. Purchases of food total
over a half million dollars annual­ly,
all of which comes from board
payments and cash sales. Girls
pay $1.15 a day and boys' meals
cost $1.25 daily. This amount also
pays for labor, repairs, overhead,
and other expenses.
Food is purchased through bids
as required by state law. Bids are
let every two months for meats,
but for food with more stable
prices the contracts are on a
year's basis. Shipments are made
periodically during the year as
needed.
Beef is the leading food in
amount used. Annual purchases
total over 127,000 pounds plus 10,-
000 pounds of veal. Poultry is sec­ond
with 94,000 pounds and pork
II
. '. . and it's too good to
keep! The popularity of
our storage service for
winter clothes has prompt­ed
us to offer : the same
arrangement for your
summer wardrobe. If you're cramped for closet space,
this service is right up your alley—and in addition, your
clothes will be conveniently stored and insured, all for
only $3.95 per spacious box, plus cleaning charges.
CURRY'S CLEANERS
244 W. GLENN AVE.—PHONE 573
Substation at 400 S. Gay Street
totals 36,000 pounds. In addition
18,000 pounds of seafood and 12,-
000 pounds of cheese also are re­quired.
Meat is purchased through the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
Acceptance Service. It must have
inspection stamps and be in seal­ed
containers. The beef comes by
truck from Chicago Packing Com­panies
in lots of 20-25,000 pounds.
Most of the pork comes from
packing houses within 100 miles
of Auburn. The poultry is supplied
by the college poultry farm except
turkeys which are grown in the
vicinity of Talladega. Most of the
catfish is furnished by the college
fisheries. Other fish comes from
distributors in this area.
The fresh produce is grown
largely in Alabama, Georgia, and
Florida, and is purchased by bids

Resolution Passed
By U of A Frats
Prohibiting Alcohol
A resolution stating that no
social fraternity will in the future
serve any alcoholic beverage und­er
any conditions, or place was
adopted recently by the Interfra-ternity
Council at the University
of Alabama.
This ruling was adopted by the
council after the fraternities re­ceived
offiical word from the Dean
of Men's office asking them to
cease serving alcoholic intoxi­cants.
The resolution... further stated
that, no fraternity will assess any
of its members for the purchase
of. alcoholic beverages. It has been
a past custom of many campus
fraternities to assess members
for these drinks — including the
non-drinkers. This action by the
presidents, representing all 25
campus fraternities, which have
a membership exceeding 1,200,
was adopted by an unanimous
vote.
Enforcement of the new ruling
rests with the Dean of Men's of­fice.
Violation of the resolution
will probably mean social proba­tion
for one quarter; however,
each case will be treated on its on
merits.
Both the Dean of Men and IFC
president voiced the opinion that
the rush this year had been great­ly
improved by this new policy.
Buzzing Freshmen
Are Confused; Yet
Outlive Registration
BY TIM BATTLE
"Well, I finally got registered!
The ordeal is over and I am now
a full-fledged student at dear oV
War Eagle Tech!"
This was the cry just one short
week ago when the new frosh
embarked upon that sea of trouble
and frustration . . . registration.
As they well remember, and as
you can easily recall, it was a
time of mass confusion personi­fied.
The confusion in Biggin Hall's
hive of activity was only lessened
by the buzzing around of AVA
armbands. "The war games in the
Army could never compete with
anything such as this. A walk
over a mine field wearing a pair
of two by fours would be less
exciting than this!" were the
words of an AVA member as he
was simultaneously bumped into
by two running frosh.
It seems that not all was con­fusion
for there was a sharp up-perclassman
who knew just what
he was doing. The setting was the
desk where the engineering draw­ing
cards were given out. . . . a
card for which much blood was
spilled. The unscrupulous soph
made his way to a position very
near the front of the line by act-ting
as a registration aide check­ing
cards and asking questions.
When there he nonchalantly called
to his brother who he was help­ing
"Come on, Ed, I'm getting
tired of holding this place for
ya'." His brother replied with a
brisk run down to the spot and
stepped in line.
Overheard in Biggin was a
still humorous, but not original,
inquiry by a somewhat befuddled
rat, "Where is this girl they call
AVA? She must be a pretty pop­ular
girl. Everytime I ask where
to go next they tell me to ask
her. Everybody knows her!"
Perhaps the height of confu­sion
was exemplified by the
freshman who was taking P.
Chem and organic chemistry his
first quarter. No one really had
the heart to tell him of his
troubles.
Bewilderment might be the
word for the poor frosh who''re­ceived,
after three or four hours
of hellacious trouble, only a
mere slip of white paper.
But those same bewildered frosh
used that white slip to get in the
game last Saturday, and anyone
who was there knows now that
even registration cannot put a
damper on Auburn spirit.

Desire And Teamwork Contribute To The Tigers' Quest For No. 1 Rating
m
They're at it again. . .
Speaking of the Auburn Tigers football team, of course. In
Saturday's contest with the Vols of Tennessee they displayed the
teamwork, ability, determination and spirit that won for them the
title of National Champions in 1957.
Many People condemned the tion.
Tigers for their actions before
the season began. The concen­sus
of opinion was that Auburn
would be so shaken and broken
up over the penalty placed on
them by the SEC and NCAA,
they would not have the deter­mination
to protect such an
important title.
These people didn't know that
thing called "Auburn spirit."
All the time the investigation
was being carried on and after
the penalty had been levied
that spirit was getting even
stronger on the Plains. The
students were hanging effigies
of Bernie Moore and a few other
personalities of the opposition.

The Plainsmen went to Bir­mingham
with one idea in mind
—beat Tennessee—and they did
it in great style. They proved
to millions of people that their
desire could not be halted by
anything (even as severe as
probation).
No group of men ever wanted
anything more than the Tigers
—coaching staff and players—
want to b'» No. 1 in the nation
again. No one in the country—
professionals at the game of
picking the winners, that is—
has given the Plainsmen the
honor of being the pre-seasVh'
choice for the top spot on the
football docket.
Coach Jordan's squad have
never shown more determination
and desire than they did against
Tennessee last Saturday.
There were six guys out there
that had never started a college
football game before Saturday.
They were all great reserves in
'57 but starting was something
new to them.

Coaches, players alike have
the "sticktoism" that it takes to
have a leading football team and
a great bunch of hardworking
men.
Their next step toward an­other
great year is the Chatta­nooga
game and as the coaches
have said time and time again,
"we play them one at a time."
The game with the Moccasins
from Chattanooga is no push­over
or breather before meet­ing
the Kentuckians. In 1956
they held the Tigers to a 13-6
score and last year played fine
ball again the No. Ones.
It takes teamwork, ability,

have them all.

THE ELEVEN BEST MEN IN THE BUSINESS. Looking for­ward
to a great season are these eleven "men behind the men."
With the past completely forgotten,' the Auburn coaching staff is
directing its thoughts only to the challenging future ahead. The
coaches are; bottom row, left to right; Vince Dooley, Joel Eaves,
"Shot" Senn, Head Coach "Shug" Jordan, Hal Herring, Gene Loren-do,
and Buck Bradberry. Top row from left to right are Joe Con-nally,
Dick McGowen, Russell Erskine and George Atkins.
were scared but not lost. They
had two objectives to work for
— defeat the Volunteers and
continue the longest major col-'
lege winning streak in the na­tion.
Jim Jeffery, Frank LaRussa,
Cleve Wester, Mike Simmons,
Lamar Rawson and Ronnie
Robbs were in the starting rolls
for their first time. It would be
almost impossible to say who
played the best game.
Guard and tackle were sup­posed
to be the weak spots in
the Auburn team but with La­Russa,
Jeffery and Wester giv­ing
All-America performances,
no one could say those possi-tions
were weak. The Tigers
were strong in depth at these
positions also. Big Ken Rice, G.
W. Clapp and others filled in to
give the line the weight and
strength it needed to keep the
Vols out of scoring territory.
If anyone topped the Tigers
defense last week, they must
have played a whale of a ball
game.
Of the four linemen thai had
never started a game before;
three of them have a comeback
story behind them.
Jeffery has the worst pair of
knees in college football today.
He has had two major opera­tions
on them and they are ex­tremely
vulnerable to injury.
Jim was told when he was a
freshman that he would never
play football again. Now he is
a starting tackle on the third
ranked team in the nation.
Cleve Wester has always had
a weight problem. When he
came to the Plains as a frosh
he weighed 170 pounds—that's
mighty small for a college tackle
—now he tips the scales at 225.
One Tiger coach has said he is
the only guy out there with no
ability, whatsoever.
Mike Simmons has a bad leg.
He had a great sophomore sea­son
before he injured his knee.
He was hampered in his junior
year by the same injury. He
was much slower and less agile.
Now in his first role as a starter
he was picked as the Plains­man
player of the week.
Ronnie Robbs at fullback has
to be congratulated for even
wanting to play football. His
back has been hurt several
times—once before the season
got underway. In Saturday's
game he injured his knee and
will be out for the season.
Another to the starting spot­light
will come into focus when
the Plainsmen meet Chatta­nooga.
Ed Dyas will be the new­comer.

Tiger Defense Too Much For Vols
By Lance I l c a rn
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn showed 40,000 at
Legion Field, several millions
s i t t i ng by t h e i r television sets,
in general, and Woody Hayes,
in particular, why they were
No. 1 in national defense and No.
1 in national rank last season, and
how they are going to do it again
this year. While doing this, they
won their 15th straight, the long­est
string still alive in college
football.
It wasn't until late in the
game that Auburn's offense took
on threatening proportions,
but the defense was racking
the Vols up throughout the
game. The powerful Tiger line
had no outstanding stars; they
were just rugged from end to
end, making soph Bobby Major's
debut a bruising, if not em-barassing
one as they held him
to a net gain of only 4 yards.
However, he had nothing to be
ashamed of, as the storied 5-
year senior Danny Webb show­ed
a net loss of three, and the

to the 28, but stalled and never
came that close again.
Although the Vols were help­less
on offense, Auburn was
never without some means of
moving the ball. The Tigers
gained 232 yards running, 47
passing, 279 overall and 11 first
downs. Lorino was the running
star gaining 59 yards in 8 car­ries.
Nix gained 35 in 11, Raw-son
29 in 7, Dyas 24 in 8 and
Kern 23 in 7.
On the first play of the fourth
quarter, Rawson scored on his
sweep around right end and
Robbs converted.
Auburn didn't let up on de­fense
and forced the Vols to
punt after two seven-yard loss­es.
The punt was short and Au­burn
got a fresh start at the
Vol 43. This time the touch­down
drive started off with a
bang as Dyas ran for nine. Nix
then passed to his big right end
Simmons for 16, Lorino made
3 and there was then a tem­porary
delay while Urbano and
Franklin threw Nix for a 9
yard loss at the 24. Then cafne
Lorino, around right end, fak­ing
off Majors and Smith at. the
five and then slithering his way
into the end zone.
The field was not the kind.
Tigers threw against the Tennes-
Tigers held the Vols to minus
that Auburp likes to • play cm.
The ground was wet and badly
torn up from a high school game
the night before, not giving
much of a chance for long runs
and passes. But the offense got
going late in the third quarter
on their 33, where a Major's
punt rolled dead and started a
67 yard drive.
It consumed 10 plays and
started unspectacularly with
Robbs gaining 3 and Rawson 4.
Here Nix kept and cut outside
right end, ran for 22 yards, but
lost 5 by penalty when he la-teralled
the ball forward to Lo­rino.
Robbs was held to one,
but Lorino went wide for 16
more to the Tennessee 26.
The victory was not without
its disappointments. For one
thing it cost the War Eagles
manpower. Robbs was injured
on the kickoff after the first
touchdown, and carried from
the field with what was later
diagnosed as a badly strained
ligament in his right leg. For
another, Auburn was penalized
100 yards, it is doubtful that
Auburn can afford to give away
this many yards each game and
expect to win them all in a
league as tough as the SEC.
Tpp games in the SEC sPQ t"
light this week are State vs.
Tennessee; Vanderbilt vs. Ala­bama
and Tech vs. Tulane. Ope
of the major surprises could
occur right here at friendly
Cliff Hare Stadium when the
Auburn Tigers face the Mocas­sins
from Chattapooga.
Rumors have it that the Mops
have a top notch first eleven
but their reserves are weak.
They have a terrific quarter­back
in John Green, the samp
boy who completed e i g ht
straight passes against t he
Plainsmen last year-
LSU plays Uardin-Simmpns
jp what should be a breather
and Ole Miss, who plays mostly
breathers, entertains little Trin­ity
University.
Coach Wally Butt's Georgia
Bulldogs, who can't seem to get
out of the fad of losing, battle
South Carolina.
Florida and Kentucky are
both blessed with open dates.
S t a c y , an all-or-nothing
quarterback, passed for the ex­tra
points which put State
ahead of Florida 8-6, and from
there the Maroons went on to
win 14-7. The Gators still have
a good, well balanced ball club
and should win their share of
the games remaining on their
schedule.
Paul "Bear" Bryant was wel­comed
back to the SEC by Can­non
and Company, better known
as LSU. This sound defeat
seemed to upset a number of
crashing Alabama fans.
Vandy knocked off Georgia
with two quick touchdowns be­fore
the Bulldogs could get their
offense moving. The final score
was 21-14. Bobby Oodd's Yel­low
Jackets had their hands
full fpr the first half but emerg­ed
victorious over FSU 17-3.

7 in Memphis while Tulane was

Once again it's time for The Plainsman's annual "Out on a Limb." This year the Plainsman prog
nosticators will definately be going "out on a limb" as they try to out-guess the entire student body.
If you'd like to try your hand at out-guessing the so-called experts, whip pff your list- of winners
in a fairly legible penmanship and submit it to the Union Desk befpre 5 pjn. Friday. The Plainsman
can't afford to offer prizes but all those who do better than the consensus will find their names printed
in this space next week.

PLAINSMAN POLLSTERS PICK
PRE-SEASON ALL-SEC SQUAD
With the opening of the 1958 football season for the South­eastern
Conference drawing near, many sports writers of the
Dixie circuit have been risking their famed "beat-up typewriters
and sloppy hats" in the age old tradition of "picking the best uns"
—naming their ALL-SEC team.
This is one phase of the game the Plainsman sports staff has
never participated in. But, this season the staff hesitantly looked
over the possibilities of the Plainsman pre-season All-SEC team
and came up with eleven names that should lead the SEC foot­ballers
at season's end.
Simmons Selected 'Player Of The Week4
Mike Simmons, senior from
New Brunswick, N. J., has
been selected by the Plainsman
as its first "Player of the Week"
for the 1958 football season.
The selection of Simmons was
no easy task, because every
member of the "No. 1 Team"
was outstanding in the 13-0
victory over the University of
Tennessee. The line played such
outstanding defense that the
deep backs on both Auburn
units were credited with less
than six tackles.
Last season, Mike played be­hind
All-America "Red" Phil­lips
at the right end position.
However last Saturday he took
a second seat to nobody. Sim­mons
was continually busting
through the mass of blockers on
Tennessee's wide power plays
to make the tackle.
Defensive end Coach, Joel
Eaves, gave Simmons a grade of
2.8 based on Auburns system of
1 for fair, 2 for good, and 3 for
exceptional.
Offensive end Coach Gene
Lorendo stated before the game
that Mike was the "best close
blocking end on the squad" and
the Tennessee game supported
his statement. Simmons received
a grade of 2.2 for his offensive
work last Saturday that includ­ed
not only blocking, but re­ceiving
a pass from quarterback
WAR EAGLE
THEATRE
Nix for 16 yards during Au­burn's
drive toward their sec­ond
six points.
This great response when the
chips were down came in the
first starting assignment for
Simmons. His first two years
were spent nursing injury after
injury and the coaches surely
hope that the injuries are over
for this man. Replacing "Red"
Phillips is a job, but a healthly
Mike Simmons continuing to
play like he did last Saturday
would surely reduce one of the
pre-season question marks. —
