AN EDITORIAL
Drinking, driving, and especially the combination of the
two have placed A u b u r n in a grave, intolerable situation. This
fact, which a large part of the student body has tried to ig­nore,
was brought to the light and scrutinized closely by the
Lee County Grand J u r y . At recent hearings,.it probed for ;a
reasonable explanation of the rising traffic toll. Quizzing ad­m
i n i s t r a t i o n officials and the various l aw enforcement agen­cies
involved, the Grand J u r y found an explanation, though
h a r d l y a reasonable one. Many, many automobiles are driven
by students whose lack of judgement and responsibility ser­iously
endangers, everyone else on the highway. Whether
these faults are caused b y excessive drinking or merely made
more pronounced by it is not important. In either case, there
is t h e same terrible, tragic result: the accident r a t e is bound­ing
higher.
Discussing the operation of beer taverns in the county,
t h e jury, stated, "The operators of many of these establish­ments
seem to have complete disregard for most of the regu­lations
concerning same. We know t h a t most of these taverns
are c a t e r i n g to t r a d e of minors from our county and surround­ing
t e r r i t o r i e s . " The Grand J u r y called upon the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board and the A t t o r n e y General to investi­gate
t h e situation and provide assistance to t h e county solici­t
o r for any required condemnation proceedings against the
persistant violators. Said t h e jury, "If additional personnel is
r e q u i r e d to remedy this situation, we direct the a t t e n t i o n of
our legislators to t h e problem and request t h a t t h e y take steps
to provide the r e q u i r e d additional personnel immediately. To
m a i n t a i n the decency of our county we must eradicate this
'cancerous' conduct forthwith."
• The legal crackdown called for by t h e j u r y included driv­ing
too. Recommendations were made that the legislature for­bid
freshmen and sophomores to have cars on campus. The
local law enforcement agencies were instructed to increase
efforts to apprehend all traffic violators, and to report all stu­dent
violations to API for f u r t h e r disposal.
If carried out, the recommendations of the Grand J u ry

New Union committees formed
The Union Program Council, an
organization with which most
students are only slightly fami­liar,
is responsible for campus-wide
functions such as dances,
movies, and a variety of indoor
recreations. The majority of the
students participate at one time
or another in at least one of the
activities sponsored by the Pro­gram
Council, but few understand
the organization required for
such functions.
The Union Program Council is
made up of the chairman of the
eight major union committees
which sponsor the activities and
is lead by the Superintendent of

Head Security officer, M. E.
Dawson, and Auburn police chief
Clyde Ellis, stated Monday that
some progress was being made on
the vandalism which occurred at
Biggin, the Presbyterian Church,
and the Kwik Chek two Satur­days
ago.
At Biggin, red paint was splash­ed
and words painted on the first
floor wall, on windows and on
some furniture. Witnesses fixed
the time of the crime at approxi­mately
11 p.m. Damage was re­portedly
slight.
Obscene words were painted
on the columns and front of the
Presbyterian Church. Here, re­pair
w a s more expensive, and
the damage is probably perman­ent,
though the paint has been
removed.
Chief Dawson stated that paint
from all three scenes is being
compared, . through laboratory
tests, to ascertain whether it is
the same paint. He also said that
other tests and techniques were
being employed, but declined to
make any definite statement.
Any person having information
which may be useful in helping
find the vandals is asked to con­tact
Chief Dawson or Chief Ellis.

PI KAPPA PHI'S serenade their Dream Girl, Olivet Summers, on the steps of their house on
South College Street.
Pi Kappa Phi's win recognition
on campus, from their national
BY DON LOUGHRAN and JANICE DUFFY
As the quarter is quickly drawing to a close, we inter­viewed
Pi Kappa Phi in preparation for the last fraternity
story until fall quarter. This chapter, Alpha Iota, has 67 ac­tive
brothers. They do not feel handicapped by this small
number because they feel that this is approximately the ideal
size for a fraternity. With this
size, they feel that they are not
only financially stable, but also
the goal of closer brotherhood is
within their reach. As a result of
their size, they have not been
able to select their teams for
competition from a great number
of brothers and acquire a great
number of trophies. Instead, they
enter competition for the sport
of it rather than the trophy.
Being a social fraternity, they
admittedly spend some of their
time partying. The actual num­ber
of parties they hold per year
is an average of about one com­bo
party per month and one hi-fi
party per week. This varies
from quarter to quarter. In the
spring quarter, they have their
annual Red Rose Formal and
their annual houseparty. One of
their big social events of the year
is their annual pledge formal held
during the fall quarter. It is the
social debut of their pledges to
the fraternity, and the whole
chapter attends. The pledges dress
formally, and are in the leadout,
while the brothers attend semi-formally.
Their Dream Girl this
year is Olivet Summers, a junior
in the School, of Education, a
member of Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority.
Politically, Pi Kappa Phi is well
represented on the various pub­lications'
staffs with many ap­pointed
positions on the Tiger
Cub, Plainsman and Glomerata.
They also have one of this year's
freshman senators.
The chapter was severely set
back two years ago by fire that
destroyed a large percentage of
their house. Their rush program
was greatly affected by this fire,
and membership fell from 65
members to 42, but has now
climbed back to 67. They are
planning a new addition to their

will undoubtedly cut the accident rate slightly. But the po­lice
can't watch everywhere all of the time. People will speed.
People will drive recklessly. People will drive when drunk.
And people will die.
The fact that people are killed, crippled, or maimed sense­lessly
is horrible. It warrants any action, no matter how dras­tic,
to stop it. But our concern is not the moral or the legal as­pect
involved. NOTHING will stop accidents except a mature,
'responsible student body who takes it upon itself to do so.
Although college students are not by any means the only
persons being involved in accidents, we feel the student
body should be particularly careful so that they may set an
example of safety for every other driving age group.
The college graduate is supposedly a mature, responsible
adult ready to make his way in the world. This isn't a bonus
that comes with graduation. If we haven't already reached a
degree of maturity commesurate with our age, this is the time
to start. We will never start so long as we force others to take
care of us. We are grown-up, physically at least, and we don't
have mommy and daddy to wipe our noses any more. Let's
not replace them with the police, the highway patrol, and the
college administration.
But if that is what we want, we'll have someone to watch
and protect us. There will be plenty of rules passed and en­forced
to keep us alive. Even now, it has been suggested to
IFC to consider a regulation that would force all fraternities
to use buses to transport members on houseparties. The idea
is, per se, an excellent one. If it is adopted it will take res­ponsibility
away from individuals but in the long run, it may
prove to be a much more efficient and safe system.
If we do not face up to our responsibilities, this regula­tion
could be adopted. It will be the first and the most lenient
of many such regulations. The list—under the nurishing hands
of the IFC, the school, the police and the legislature—will
grow until it becomes unbearable . . . or unnecessary. There
isn't much chance of the latter so long as we have all those
rules. i : ^j$|jj£t$g(jpj
The choice is clear-cut: are we going to take care of our­selves,
or will we have someone else take cart of us with only
fair results. Are we going to grow up, or will be always be
children? The Lee County Grand Jury can make recommen'
dations. The police department can arrest and bring to trial
those who break the law. We alone can prevent accidents.

They Never Learn 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 20, 1959 Jim Phillips
CAtfM COMtDY
Hundreds upon hundreds of slogans have
been written, policemen have argued and
pleaded endlessly, juries have convened,
investigated and convicted many times and
persons without number have been maim­ed
and killed, but still the needless slaugh­ter
continues.
Nationally speaking, automobile acci­dents
are understandably mere statistics to
us, but here, in Auburn, they should have
become emotional holes in our stomachs.
They have not.
Apparently, no type of sordid scene will
relieve drivers of their insatiable "it can't
happen to me" attitudes. Velocities, even
inside this city's limits, are entirely out of
proportion to the conditions that should
govern them.
For instance, on West Magnolia, cars
travel with no perceptible caution. They
scratch off at fraternity row, hit second at
the bottom of the hill and go by the Alpha
Psi house doing 60 miles per hour.
At that moment, when they are roaring
exhiliratingly toward town between tons
of parked cars, one mistake would posi­tively
mean death.
This is only one thoroughfare where
speed disease is currently in epidemic pro­portions.
It may also be found on South
•Gay, East Magnolia, South College, E a s t
Thach, Wire Road and Donahue Drive. Iso­lated
cases have been reported in almost
every quarter. This sickness is not one that
a doctor can cure, nor is it one that will
ever completely disappear. The only hope
for its containment lies in the mature real­ization
that it can strike—anywhere, any­time—
and that to expose oneself to it will
sooner or later mean sorrow.
An Ounce Of Prevention...
Following a Kentucky basketball loss
imoprtant to Auburn's championship pic­ture,
a relatively minor but nevertheless
controversial panty raid resulted last quar­ter.
The evening's aftermath was character­ized
by shouts on one side of "Throw the
leaders out of school" and "Let them go,"
on the other. The handful of boys caught
as organizers were finally reprimanded by
the president.
P a n t y raids can not be justified. A
1949 summer melee caused considerable
damage to the institution and mass hy­steria
to coeds. Luckily raids since haven't
been that serious. But they could have
easily enough:
Maybe the next extravaganza of this
sort, if there is another, could equal the
chaos of Auburn's '49 black mark. It could
even be worse. .
—PHILLIPS.
A Reason Is Not An Excuse
The recent flourish of petty thievery in
locker rooms during PE classes is being
met expediently by campus authorities.
One boy that was recently caught steal­ing
received a heavy penalty despite the
fact that he was suffering from a shortage
of money with which to finish school.
Suspension, a letter to his parents and
the inscription of the deed on his perma­nent
record indicated that the disciplinary
committee is prepared to deal severe pun­ishment
to apprehend offenders.
This policy was formulated to counter­act
the increasing burglary rate on the
campus and in dormitories.
Fair warning has also been issued that
certain areas are being kept under constant
surveilance.
If a person is in financial difficulty,
stealing is not a solution to the problem.
There are several funds from which stu­dents
may borrow money to help over­come
periodic fluctuations of their solven­cy.
The Navy tuft fund for example offers
a convenient short term loan for NROTC
students. The student affairs office also
has a loan fund and both of these are on
a no-interest basis.
In view of the availability of money,
there is no excuse for dishonesty. There
can be no clemency for those who discredit
themselves by stealing.
What Did You Expect?
The new yearbook is out. It's a very good
Glom as Gloms go. But a bald statement as
this, dealing with purely relative values,
is deserving of clarification. So, lest we
appear prejudiced, we'll found our asser­tion
on fact.
We've read the book from cover to cover
and from the misprints on the first page,
through the fuzzy photos in the activities
section to the misnamed class pics, the
quality of the Glom is clearly evident. This
year, as in many preceding, the yearbook
is prolifically vindicative in its slander of
the Plainsman. Faithful to tradition, its
portrayal of campus life is as crisp as a
steamed string of spaghetti. Misprints turn
ponderous passages into whimsical frivoli-ty.
The humor often falls flat on its punch
to Foster the Anburn Spirit
line. Campus big-wigs beam benignly from
hideaways in the class sections. Modine
Gunch's picture was left out from spite.
Sentiment oozes thickly from every page.
The Glomerata has more than equaled its
standing reputation for unsalted medio­crity.
With expected amenities out of the way,
we would like to commend the Glomerata
staff for their publication. They've d o ne
their jobs well. The message they have
put across in words and pictures is the tone
of the Auburn campus in 1959. It's power­ful
enough to fan the spark of nostalgia in
each of us many years hence.
If their write-up on The Plainsman was
unnecessarily vitriolic and, tasteless then
we can attribute it to the writer whom we
know as an ex-Plainsman staffer who
couldn't make the grade. And then too,
we've given the Glom people a pretty hard
time this year so maybe we brought it on
ourselves.

Every Plainsman editor waits for the
chance to write that last editorial. These
all follow the same pattern. They start off
with the promise that they won't get emo­tional.
They never make it. We won't eith­er.
It's hard to leave a job .that has been so
much more than a job. It hurts to pass off
the late hours, pressure and tremendous
personal satisfaction to another editor and
staff. For four quarters we've striven for
an arbitrarily established ideal of a "per­fect"
paper. We've come very close many
times but we've never been completely
satisfied. It's a shock to realize that there
will be no "next week's" to make us try a
little harder.
With our time at Auburn now measured
in days instead of weeks we've come face
to face with the fact that our usefulness to
the paper and the school can be better
utilized in a less active, more passive role.
The new staff has shown itself quite cap­able
of performing its function. For this
we are secretly sorry, for we would have
liked to leave with the feeling that we
were indispensable. We weren't by a long
shot. The truth hurts sometimes.
We are proud to have been a part of Au­burn.
We hope we have been of service to
its student body. We're thankful for the
chance.—McINTOSH.

An Atomic Age Problem—
Curriculum Fallout!
The Atomic Age has added a new type of "fall­out"
to the American educational scene, that of
"curriculum fallout." Last week this column fairly
stated of what this fallout problem consisted, but it failed to men­tion
what is and should be done to solve it. To find a possible solu­tion
let us first examine the reasons for fallout which were mentioned
before—lack of information and lack of guidance.
The decision to enter any curri- tion and misguidance it is still the
culum is often due to the guidance
of. a high school teacher who does
not recognize abilities other than
those in his certain field. If a
teacher is not the main influence
then it is quite probable that the
parents or close friends of the
entering freshman are responsible
for his decision. All three of these
factors usually fail to consider the
student's true interests and are
unable to evaluate abilities that
are latent at the time. Conse­quently,
a student who does fairly
well in math a n d science will
probably be pushed into engineer­ing
or a very similar field. This
may occur in spite of the fact
that the student may have much
greater capabilities in other fields
and just has not had the oppor­tunity
to cultivate them. When the
student enters college the fierce
competition may discourage him
altogether, even to such a degree
that he will not even consider
moving to a different curriculum.
Thus potential leaders in certain
fields are lost from the college
scene altogether. Many of these
do have enough' ability that they
student's responsibility to make
his o w n evaluation of himself.
And once the evaluation is made
it is only himself that can strive
for his goals. Any prodding and
prying done by others is negli­gible
compared to the amount of
impulsion necessary from himself.
If these requirements are not
realized then failure is almost im­minent.
What is the remedy for this
waste of talent? A remedy is
found within the causes. At the
quite tender age of 17 or 18 the
student must make two very im­portant
decisions. He must decide
whether to get a higher educa­tion
and what field to enter when
he does. To make this choice the
student can only rely on his scant
high-school experience in differ­ent
courses, his association with
professional people and the guid­ance
from his teachers and par­ents.
It is exceedingly easy for all
of these factors to be extremely
biased therefore resulting in a
choice without conception of the
actual consequence resulting from
the choice. To alleviate this mis-continue
regardless of the odds? ^judgment it is necessary for the
but are only mediocre students
and graduate with mediocre quali­fications.
This is in contrast to
their possibly brilliant career in
another area if they had just had
the opportunity. Misplaced stu­dents
are not uncommon in any
college.
The third reason that I men­tioned—
failure to apply oneself
is perhaps the most important of
the three. This failure though is
often due to the absence of. moti­vation
which results from lack of
interest, making all three reasons
interdependent. Regai-dless of the
interdependence of misinforma-student
to achieve a greater de­gree
of maturity before commit­ting
himself.
If two years of college work
were completed before stating any
preference toward a major, the
student could have an opportunity
to realize the importance of all
professional fields, could evaluate
his own capabilities in relation to
the high level of competition in
college, and would have time to
recognize his true feelings toward
a vocation.
But there's always t h a t big
"IF."
Have a good Summer!

What Disturbs You Most
About Student Attitudes?
American education is re-examining itself. In
the light of a challenging if not threatening satellite
wmm^mmmmt agej it has found itself, at every level, looking at a
sort of full-length mirror and seeing an image that is not always re­assuring.-
At the level of higher educa­tion,
the college student sees him­self
the object of. a mass program
which opens his mouth and chocks
him f u l l of education, stamps
"graduate" on him and throws
him to a world which says he isn't
measuring up. Why he is or is not
measuring up has been attributed
to the academic nature of his col­lege
experience and to the atti­tudes
formulated while on cam­pus.
To three API professors in dif­ferent
fields, the question What
disturbs you most about student
attitudes? was asked. Their re­actions
are quoted.
Dr. Paul Haines, Professor of
English:
"I don't feel that there is any
deep disorder to be diagnosed. A
great many teachers today bewail
the nature of students. This hap­pens
because today's teacher is
terribly earnest and eager to do a
good job. He is touched with a
discontent. . . .
"College students, however, are
not well enough prepared to be
efficiently curious. It is not that
they lack curiosity. As good a per
cent as ever are curious and ea­ger.
It happens that they don't
have enough information. The
quality of their curiosity has
changed.
"In the twenties, there was an
eagerness and readiness among
students to revolt from parents,
conventions and what-not. They
wanted to break new trails. I do
At Least Nine Campus Improvements Rate High Priority;
WeTlope They'll Be In Effect By This Time Next Year
not find this now. There doesn't
seem to be this breaking of trails."
Sam T. Hurst, Dean, School of
Architcture and the Arts:
"The dim view which the stu­dent
holds of the Intellectual Idea
is disturbing. We need most ur­gently
to re-establish the Intellec­tual
Idea at the core of the uni­versity
life as the reason for our
being . . . Physical training, spir­itual
training, social training and
adjustment to life training are
properly and primarily the func­tion
of civic, religious and family
institutions of o u r society and
only secondarily related to the
university . . .
"The consequence of over-em­phasis
of peripheral aims of college
life, be they social, athletic or
other, is the sapping of the stu-ent's
loyalty and allegiance to
learning and the diversion of the
excitement which belongs to the
Intellectual Idea."
Dr. John H. Melzer, Professor of
Philosophy:
"It seems to me that the stu­dent
is losing his zest for chang­ing
things. He is more concerned
with security and ease of exis­tence
than he is with getting
better answers to our problems.
He seems to think that the exist­ing
answers are good enough . . .
The student should want to change
things, to get new and better an­swers.
The student seems to have
too much complacency a n d too
little initiative."

told of the numerous drop-outs
due to indecision and confusion in
what curriculum to follow. Why
not provide each Auburnite a fac­ulty

to time hold private discussion

Such a setup would undoubtedly

Effort Needed On
Foreigners Part
While the questions of "how"
and, more important, "when" are
being decided by the proper de­partments
in regard to an ade­quate
English program for foreign
students, there are many things
which can be done on the part of
both American and foreign stu­dents
to help the situation.

made with va­rious
foreign
students. Although the students
attended these special sessions a
few times they gradually lost in­terest
or felt that they didn't need
the aid. This example is a good
illustration of the foreign stu­dents
not accepting their respon­sibility
and trying to help them­selves.
There is another example of
this lack of interest exhibited by
some of the foreign students. It
has been suggested that a special
English course be designed for
foreign students only. This has
been tried in the past and it failed.
Why? Because of the lack of in­terest
and unwillingness on the
part of the students to do the re­quired
work.
A natural tendency among any
group of persons in a foreign land
is to stick together and associate
mainly with students from their
own country. Little or no effort
is made to become a part of the
entire student body. It is neces­sary
for foreign students to make
a special effort on their own and
to associate and speak with Amer­ican
students and with the profes­sors.
If the foreign students them­selves
do not cooperate, as has
been the case with many in the
past, no program would be suc­cessful.
As has been stated before, the
responsibility is shared by many,
not just by the school or the for­eign
students, but by the Ameri­can
student as well.
The following are several sug­gestions
which were made in a
recent article in the magazine en­titled
"Presbyterian Survey:" con­sider
including foreign students in
your activities; call on foreign
students in your dorm and don't
hesitate to visit other rooms; in­clude
them in preparations for
holidays; invite them to special af­fairs
in which you think they
might be interested; don't hesi­tate
to invite them on one-day ex­cursions
and weekend trips; if it
is possible invite them to your
home.
Some of the above suggestions,
plus others, have been used by
various families in Auburn who
are participating in the Host Fam­ily
Plan conducted by the Pres­byterian
Church here in Auburn.
There is a great deal that you
as a fellow student can do to aid
the foreign student in becoming a
vital part of our life here at API.
They n e e d a welcoming hand
which you can extend. It is in­deed
a privilege to have our for­eign
students here on campus for
not only is it of an educational
and cultural value, but it affords
an opportunity for us to show
them the American way of life.
their first day on the Plain until
graduation. Florida State Univer­sity
works this system to great
advantage. "Too many students
for an undermanned Auburn fac­ulty
to handle!" you say. Cut down
on enrollment then! There's no
prestige in an 8,500 member stu­dent
b o d y where facilities are
barely adequate for little more
than half that figure.
2) Non-compulsory c l a s s at­tendance
is needed at Auburn. If
students aren't yet mature enough
to value education, they probably
never will be. Should a collegian
want it badly enough, he'll go
after it on his own. If not shouldn't
suicide be his privilege?
3) Auburn's traffic problem and
lack of parking space must be
eliminated. Maybe the answer is
to limit campus autos to juniors
and seniors or to persuade the
twelve-man City Police Force to
increase its capacity, assigning
traffic duty to rookies. It's getting
tough to even slither a block at
snail's p a c e nowadays — even
tougher to find an empty parking
space when you finally get there.
4) Engineering must be reac-credited!
The prospective engineer
supply of this state depends al­most
solely on API for competent
instruction in this dynamic field.
As of now, through no fault of the
institution's that we can detect,
the program still tends to fall
short.
5) Girls obviously have their
fun in sorority-organized dorms,
but they lose plenty of excitement
and college "swing" in being de­prived
of lodges. We understand
that some have ample funds and
are ready to build. Space for con­struction
is no problem. What's
the score?
6) Book stores, uptown variety,
tend to rob the financially poor
Auburnite of e v e r y imaginable
penny. It's become evident that
their prices will never drop, un­less
enough students catch on to
the simple process of boycott.
Trading old books among them­selves
is a short run answer.
7) Stock in basketball has
zoomed upward in the past two
seasons. In losing but two contests
of the last 32 rough ones, the
Tigers built themselves a tremen­dous
following. The Field House
brain trust has proposed a new
arena, but it may take partial stu­dent
financing, Union Building
style, to get it. Erecting such a
structure would likewise answer
an acute PE problem.
8) Voting interest on the Plain
exactly characterizes what fol­lows
when the student graduates.
In the last election (a contradict­ory
sigh of relief for lack of the
personal humiliation which might
have been) just 3,800 voters ap­peared
at the polls. Neglect of this
sort grows. America needs voters.
9) Finally, that gosh-awfullish
of situations must be banished!
This outlandish boy-girl ratio, for
the welfare of every Auburn Joe,
has got to approach equilibrium.
In this past decade, how many
sharp fellows have lost their minds
on this account? Enough to fill
Cliff Hare Stadium? Probably!
Write an appeal to the Humane
Society, Tim Battle. Write the
Pentagon, the WACS, plead to the
University of Alabama for rein­forcements.
Just get us more wo­men!
If the editorial staff can but ac­complish
one of these needed im­provements,
next year's will be
a great Plainsman. Meanwhile, a
one-time sports writer returned to
his calling will be sorry that he
can't participate. Good luck!—

Goodbye API:
A June Grad's Views . . .
For those who have been here, Auburn is a special
place. The good which speaks for itself may go
^ unheralded. The bad should be recognized, and
Over all these are our impressions of API:
The days are running out,
Graduation is drawing nigh.
Never again, "So long,"
But, forever, "Goodbye."
•.'-' -.-v>-C.
The hourly peal of Sanrfertt,-
Sunsets over Vet Hill,
Will always bring a feeling
That time can never still.
Crowds on football weekends,
At Easter, a lonely place.
Auburn, village of memories
That time cannot erase.
Big name bands on campus
Or dancing to hi-fi,
Saturday night relaxation
For the quiz-filled week gone
by.
Serving out restrictions,
Imposed by W.S.G.A.
Look girls, we ran out of gas!
Too bad. You're late, you'll pay.
The best team in the nation,
Trophies in every sport.
The War Eagle cry of victory,
On field and track and court.
Linda Teller
The Union Building for coffee
Or popcorn at the show,
Get pizza in Columbus
Or out on the road, a glow.
The frustrations of. exams,
In memories, always new.
And don't forget the sleepless
nights,
When papers and projects are
due.
The excitement of campus elec­tions,
The panorama of Village Fair,
Your opportunity to help Au­burn
And in her glory share.
Football games in the Fall,
Lake Chewacla in the Spring,
In between, the million things
That campus life can bring.
When the routine is established,
The time has come to part,
But, you will always remember
Auburn,
And keep her in your heart.
Aim For The Moon;
You Might Make It!
Another full year is about to end; if you aren't
_ graduating, you are lucky. You can come back next
. ~" year and really work hard. Sure, you are not going
to goof off like this past year. Why in fact you are going to spend
all summer planning a schedule for next year . . . well, maybe not
all summer, but the last half should give enough time for that com­plete
overhaul.
We hear advice just about this
time of the quarter such as . . .
"It isn't too late to really hit the
books," or "If you would only sit
down and try instead of worrying
about it, you might be able to pull
up that grade." (Not that you
have a 65 quiz average so far, or
anything like that) Brother, in my
book, about this time is almost
too late.
Well, never you mind. There
is always next year, and that is
a very fortunate fact. Oh, not that
this year was all that bad . . . So
what if Dean Blank flunked you
in chemistry for the third time. It
absolutely was not your fault; let's
face it; the class does get pretty
dull and if. suddenly the after ef­fects
of last night's study (?) hit
you, it is expected of you to rest.
Just because it happens to hap­pen
every single solitary morn­ing
at 10:00, chemistry time, does
not mean that you deserve an F
for the third time. Of course those
quiz grades were not all A's; in
fact they did not reach the D level
too often, but it was the third
time! Then there was economics
. . . but there is no sense in going
through that . . . it was a 7:00
o'clock class.
You and I though can push all
those "unavoidable" mistakes into
the past and with our privilege of
next year's education make such
a beautiful come-back that all will
be forgiven.
I am going to resolve f o r 3
points all next year. (Aim for the
moon and you might hit a star. I
always say.) Why don't you make
some drastic change, and if you do
—Good luck to both of us!

Griffin, treasurer; Lucretia Owen,
secretary, and Mary L. Bryant,
reporter.
The purpose of this new hono­rary
fraternity is "to provide op­portunities
for professional and
social meetings of business edu­cation
majors at Alabama Poly­technic
Institute; to contribute to
the well-rounded education of
prospective business teachers, and
to help them become effective
sponsors of high school chapters
of Future Business Leaders of
America; to encourage improve­ment
in scholarship among busi­ness
education students; and to
help promote a better under­standing
of the Business Educa­tion
Program."
Membership in Pi Beta Lambda
is of three types: Students maj­oring
or minoring in business ed­ucation
are eligible for an active
membership. When these students
graduate from college, they be­come
associate members. Hono­rary
memberships will be con­ferred
by a vote of the majority
of the chapter upon faculty mem­bers,

A SOLUTION TO THE PARKING PROBLEM AT API is offered by these
three sophomore students: Bill Calipers of Resume Speed, Ga.; Oswald Fudd
of Slow, Ala.; and Harry Head of Dangerous Curve, Tenn. They are proudly
sporting around in one of the latest crazes since sports ears, but they pur­chased
it mostly in rebellion for having to park in zone "C" and never be­ing
able to find a parking place near the Auburn Bakery. Fudd stated,
"It used to take us two hours to walk from our parking place to class, but
now it's different. Nobody can bug us much, even when We have to 'make'
our own parking place some times."

Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn dropped two games to
FSU last Monday and Tuesday
by scores ef 4-3 and 8-6. Bob
Baker went all the way in the
first game, and in the second
game Porter Gilbert started
with Jim Shirley relieving in
the seventh.
Coach Erk Russell played all
sophomores, with the exception
of junior Alan Koch, in both
games against t h e powerful
Seminoles, who are representa-tives-
at-large to this year's
NCAA baseball tournament.
The sophs made several mis­takes,
but they also came up
with a lot of good plays and
some pleasant surprises.
Overall, the prospects for next
year are for a team much the
same as this years', with the
defense probably a little better.

The hitting will be fair, but
there is no one who can hit the
long ball except Koch. As usual,
pitching is the big ^question
mark. If t h e pitchers come
through, Coach Russell expects
another fine team.
The Plainsmen are losing
seven seniors through gradua­tion
this year, but eight letter-men
will be returning. In addi­tion
to the monogram-bearers,
several sophomores are looking
good, especially Joe Woods, who
was outstanding in the Florida
State games and will probably
be next year's starting catcher.
Coach Russell will be counting
heavily on returning pitchers
Gilbert, Baker, Shirley, White,
and Whittaker. There are also
several good prospects coming
up f r o m the freshman team.
First baseman Bill Brakefield
has been hitting the ball well,
and Bobby Hunt has been do­ing
a fine job as catcher
For the rest of the South­eastern
Conference, one of this
year's powerhouses, Florida, will
once again be very strong.
Georgia Tech had a predomin­ately
sophomore team this year
and should be a strong con­tender.
Georgia will be improv­ed,
and Kentucky who's been
building a good team and could
be a darkhorse. Together with
Auburn, these teams will prob­ably
be the leaders.

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 20, 1959
For the third time in the last
four years the "Boys from
North Gay Street" better known
as Pi Kappa Alpha h a s an­nexed
the All-Sports Trophy in
Intramural competition. But
this year they have done it up
in style as they set a new rec­ord,
amassing a total of 1300
points compared to the old
mark of 1280 set by Theta Chi
in 1954. This figure is not the
maximum number of points
they can have as there are still
two leagues in which the Pikes
are in the final playoffs.
The Pikes, throughout the
year had a record of 53-9 and
have won a first place in six
sports.
During the fall they went un­defeated
in football, compiling
a 7-0 record as they had only
t w o points scored on them
throughout the season. Next
came Volleyball and once again
they were proclaimed the vict­ors.
In this competition they
had a 7-1 record. Also in the
swimming meet they garnered
a sixth.
Next came the winter quarter
and with it came three out of
four first place trophies. Led
by Lutie Johnston, the PiKA's
raced to a victory in track with
there being no doubt as to who
the victor would be.
Running up a 10-1 record on
the basketball courts they also
won that number one bunting.

This was quite a feat as they
were defeated in their first
game but came on strong to go
the rest of the season unde­feated.
Next came Bowling and once
again it was PiKA in the spot­light.
They went 6-1 for the
season and in the playoff game
rolled the highest total of any
team for the whole year. In
Table Tenis they were not quite
so fortunate as they had a 2-2
record and placed second in
their league.
Knowing that they had an
excellent chance to win the
All-Sports Trophy t h e Pikes
went in the Spring quarter
hoping to possibly even break
the existing record.
During this period they were
not quite as fortunate in getting
firsts as they only received one,
that being in badminton. How­ever,
they still have a chance
to win another o n e as the
winner of the ATO-Sigma Pi
match plays them for the ten­nis
championship.
They did get two seconds in
their leagues being the runner-up
in softball and golf. Play­offs
are still under way for
horseshoes with the Pikes com­peting,
beating Lambda Chi in
a playoff for the league title.
Much of the credit for the
new record should go to the
Pike's Sports Director, George
Traylor, for it was he who co­ordinated
all of the efforts of
the fraternity into an unbeat­able
combination.
With a total of 1300 points al­ready
in the bag it is a known
fact that it will be a long time
before this record is broken.

would like to take this space
to congratulate Pi I^appa Al­pha,,—

Sports.

A Look At Sports . . . With Jim Phillips
Can College Baseball
Replace Dying Minors?
Jim Minter is a young Atlanta Journal sports columnist whose
aim is perfection. Although Furman Bisher, a name unpopular
in Auburn as of late, heads the department, it's usually Minter
who makes the sports section colorful.
In the Saturday, May 10 Journal, Minter penned a column en­titled
"Time For Revival." The chunky Atlantan dug into the
depths of his imagination and peered into the
notebook of Florida baseball coach Dave Ful-ler
in search of lifelines for saving college jdttHfck...
ball the death which seems inevitable. His
deductions were controversial, but the bulk
of Minter's argument could well provide the
solution.
College baseball, said Jim, was at one time
"the" sport. Can you imagine this now stag- ! UKEM
nant spring pastime supporting "King Foot­ball?"
That's exactly how it used to be. In
1926, Tech and heated rival Georgia battled
a four game Southern Conference champion- Phillips
ship series to a gate of 33,000 fans. How long since total attend­ance
figures for an entire 30 game Auburn season reached nearly
that figure? Yet 33,000 is only average patronage at a single
Auburn football game.W/ta hoppen?
Big Leagues Grab
College baseball has become a major league supply dump,
implies Minter. Keen interest can't be maintained in a sport
which can't remain much faster than sandlot ball. A good boy
comes to Auburn for two years—hits .450 or pitches two or three
sharp ball games. Whisk— he's gone to Baltimore or Detroit
with $50,000 in his pocket. These guys naturally argue that such
big bait can't be passed up. Checks of that size rate priority over
school spirit, team need for a'star, and all that Joe College stuff.
Ask Jim Pyburn and Red Roberts.
So Minter says that a revamped college baseball setup will
drive the majors out of the schoolboy hunting ground. If the
program were improved and publicized extensively, universities
might someday enjoy current National Football League-college
type relations. Let 'em play for four years in 100 games per
season. Watch them closely as they swing those sticks and fire
with their rifle arms. You'll very likely save your club at least
$30,000 on some "lame duck." If they're good enough, you'll
know it within a full season's time. Scoop 'em up then when
they graduate—you'll have little doubt as to what you're getting
for your money.
And This 100-Game Schedule
Minter states that the 100 game slate played on into the sum­mer
as suggested by Florida's Fuller, will not only keep the
majors out, the Pyburns and Roberts in, but will build up tre­mendous
followings for the sport. Such organization could move
right over the corpse of minor league baseball, says Minter.
Fuller maintains that academic demand in the face of an
acute world situation will soon have students in the classroom
throughout the year. If so, why not play ball to a high-spirited
summer audience? Alumni . . . they'd be around . . . and base­ball-
starved local fans would file through the turnstiles. This
looks far better on paper than a Class B minor league club's
attendance chart. Even travel would present little problem. Put
Auburn, says Minter, in a division with Tech, Alabama and
Georgia. Split the remainder of the SEC accordingly. With such
natural rivalries playing for keeps, attenlance figures would
doubtlessly balloon well past recent college turnouts.

LSU Wins Conference As Expected;
Crane Sets SEC Shot Put Record
By JOHN WALLACE
Plainsman Sports Writer
LSU, minus the services of
Billy Cannon, still had enough
depth to completely dominate
the 27th annual Southeastern
Conference track championships
in Baton Rouge last weekend.
The Bengals' Ralph Fabian
became the fourth man in the
history of SEC track to win
three events as he led the fav­ored
Bayou entry to their 17th
victory.
Even without Cannon, who
withdrew after Friay's qualify­ing
rounds to prevent further
aggravation to his leg injury,
the host team piled up 61 3/5
points for a wide victory mar­gin.
Georgia Tech followed with
31 y2 points, Auburn 30 1/10,
Alabama 28y2, Florida 21 1/10,
Vanderbilt 20 1/10, Kentucky
17, Georgia 13 1/10, Tennessee
7, Mississippi State 5, Missis­sippi
3, and Tulane 1.
A head wind of four to six
miles per hour slowed the times
in the sprints and a tail wind
of some seven miles per hour
deprived Fabian of a tie for the
record in the 220 low hurdles.
Fabian took the 100 in :10.0
seconds, the 220 in :21.5, and the
hurdles in a time of :23.1. He
also ran a leg on LSU's second
place 440 yard relay team.
Auburn's R i c h a r d Crane,
Tommy Waldrip, and the entire
mile relay team were outstand­ing
in the two-day event.
Crane was behind Tech's Ed
Nutting in the shot put by six
inches with one throw left. A
tremendous effort by the Au­burn
sophomore not only sur­passed
Nutting but also estab­lished
a new SEC record at 55
feet 1% inches. Crane also won
the discus with a heave of 157
feet 4 inches.
PAUL KREBS made his last race for Auburn a good one. His
mile relay unit set a school record at LSU, winning the event.
Waldrip finally broke the jinx ^ THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 20, 1959
in the 440 yard dash which had
kept him running behind Ala­bama's
Darrell Fitts for four
years. Always the bridesmaid,
but never the bride, Waldrip had
the brightest moment of his ca­reer
when he beat Fitts to take
the 440 in :48.1.
The mile relay team of Leo­nard
Allen, Bobby Webb, Paul
Krebs, and Waldrip, ran the
fastest time ever for an Auburn
unit as the four put forth a
fabulous effort to w i n in 3:
18.0.
Vanderbilt's F r e d Abington
won trie mile in a record 4:12.2
and also captured the two mile.
Tech's James Brantley was
the only other double winner,
taking the 120 yard high hurdles
and the high jump.
Other Auburn finishers were
Jimmy Morrow, fifth in the 100
and fourth in the 220; Paul Hall,
fifth in the two mile; Tom Hol-lingsworth
tied for fourth in the
broad jump; Gene Carter tied
for third in the pole vault; and
Joe Leichtnam tied for fourth in
the high jump.

Tom Waldrip — A Storybook Finish
By JAMES ABRAMS
Plainsman Sports Writer
_ommy Waldrip had the jew­els
placed in his crown last
Saturday as he became the un­disputed
king of the SEC's
quarter mile event. Tommy had
beaten every opponent he had
faced in the SEC's gruelling
440 with one exception and
even this rival finally went
down under Tommy's torrid
pace.
As a freshman Tommy ran in

Wendell, former managing editor among other things, seem to be
glad that their "Plainsman" days are behind them.
the 100, 220 and 440. His best
performances in these events
were 10.2, 23., and 51.3 respec­tively.
In his sophomore year
he received a leg injury and
since that time has run the
quarter-mile exclusively.
Tommy lost only one 440 this
year and it was to his usual
nemesis Darrel Fitts. His best
time this year, up until the SEC
meet, was a 49 flat against
Georgia. Last year he turned in
a 48.6 in the Florida match.
In 1955 Tommy set two State
High School records. The ex-
Lanier trackster recorded his
double victory in the 100 and
220-yard dashes.
Only one blemish appeared
on the track record of Tommy
Waldrip as he entered the last
track meet of his college career.
Alabama's Darrel Fitts proved
to be the only man who could
beat Tommy in the 440, as Dar-rell
had successfully done this
three times in the past three
years.

the SEC meet in Baton Rouge,

churned out the fastest 440
of his college career, :48.1, to
grab off first place ahead of
Fitts.
Waldrip also held down the
final leg of Auburn's record
setting mile relay team. The
combination of Allen, Webb,
Krebs, all Birmingham men,
and Waldrip recorded the sec­ond
fastest mile relay in the
history of the SEC and the best
relay ever put in the books by
Auburn. LSU's great team of
1938 set the record with a 3 : -
16.5 and Auburn's terrific per­formance
was one and five-tenths
of a second behind. Wal­drip
ran his leg of the relay in
48.5.

you've got the better men. Convince them that the college edu­cation
is becoming more and more necessary—that they can't
play pro ball all their lives, and that some of the poorest men
in this country today are ex-diamond heroes. Then convince the
big leagues that the college game is a great place to season the
future Herb Score and Ted Williams. Induct them to toy with
high school stars less and less. Soon college baseball will grind,
itself out of a long-sealed tomb which the minors are waist deep
in.
A proverb goes that the drowning man will grab for anything
within reach. We hope that in the long run collegiate baseball
proves no exception. If not, those responsible will heed Jim Min-ter
someday—a guy tohose ideas are a bit far-fetched perhaps,
but satisfyingly strong possible answers.

Spring quarter is drawing to
a close, but the intramurals are
still going strong. This summer
promises no let up either, as
Coach Evans plans leagues in
softball, volleyball, badminton,
tennis, plus anything else in
which anyone is interested. The
major difference between the
summer program and present
intramurals is the absence of
fraternity a n d dormitory lea­gues.
The tournaments will fea­ture
'open teams,' that is, frat­ernities
will compete with in­dependents
and anyone will be
able to join the team of his
choice.
Playoffs have been going hot
and heavy and by the end of
this week the champions of the
sports will be known. The win­ner
of yesterday's SP-DC clash
will battle SN for the softball
title tomorrow. PKT challenges
SPE to determine the top team
in the horseshoe pits. The win­ner
of the ATO-SP matches will
fight it out on the tarpits with
PKA to decide who will take
the tennis laurels. With this
trophy under their roof, the
Pikes have set an all time scor­ing
record. The conquerors in
the Div. A-Div. PI, arid Div.
S-Div. Ahl, games will vie for
the Dormitory Softball Champ­ionships,
while on the independ­ent
s i d e the league, Brown
House and Wesley are tied for
the championship, each with a
6-1 record.
Congratulations to Billy Cul­ver
who will take over Jimmy
Hunt's Intramural Superintend-ency
for next fall.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN
This is the last column of my fifth year of writing for Philip
Morris and Marlboro. I have made it a custom in the last
column of each year not to be funny. I know I have also
realized this aim in many other columns during the year, but
thatwas not for lack of trying. Today I am not trying. I am not
trying for two reasons: First, because you are getting ready for
final exams and in your present state of shock, nothing in the
world could possibly make you laugh. And second, this final
column of the year is for many of us a leave-taking, and good­byes
always make me too misty to be funny.
For me the year ends neither with a bang nor a whimper, but
with a glow—a warm, pleasant, mellow glow—the kind of glow
you will find, for example, at the end of a Philip Morris or
Marlboro.
It has been in every ttity a gratifying experience, my five
years with the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro, and I
would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt
appreciation to these good tobacconists, to assure them that
the memory of their kindness will remain ever green in my
heart, and to remind them that they still owe me for the last
three columns.
And in these waning days of the school year, let me address
myself seriously to you, my readers. Have I trod on any toes
this year? Ruffled any feelings? Jostled any sensibilities? If
BO,. I am sorry.
Have I occasioned any laughs? Chuckles? Sniggers? Mona
Lisa smiles? If so, I'm glad.
Have I persuaded any of you to try Philip Morris and
Marlboro? To taste that fine flavor? To smoke that excellent
tobacco? If so, you are glad.
And now the long, lazy summer lies ahead. But for me sum­mer
is never lazy. It is, in fact, the busiest time of year. Two
Bummers ago, for instance, I was out ringing doorbells every
single day, morning, noon, and night. There was a contest,
you see, and the kid in my neighborhood who sold the most
bluing won a pony. I am proud to report that I was the lucky
winner.
Last summer I was also out ringing doorbells every single
day, morning, noon, and night. I was trying to sell the pony.
This summer I am not going to be out ringing doorbells.
I am going to saddle the pony and ride to Hollywood, California.
What am I going to do in Hollywood, California? I am going to
write a series of half-hour television comedies called THE
MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS, and starting in October,
1959, your friends and mine, the makers of Philip Morris and
Marlboro, are going to bring you this program over the Colum­bia
Broadcasting System every Tuesday night at 8:30. Why
don't you speak to your housemother and ask her if she'll let
you stay up to see it?
And now good-bye. For me it's been kicks all the way, and I
hope.for you it hasn't been altogether unbearable. Have a good
summer. Stay well. Stay cool. Stay louse.
I£J 1069, Mai Mmlmim
For us, the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro, it's
been kicks too, and we would like to echo kindly old Max's
parting words: Stay well. Slay cool. Slay loose.
