Mrs. Castello's topic will be "The Place of the F r a t e r n i t y Syst em on Campus." The home, family and professional background of Evelyn Adams Costello is constantly reflected in the interests she pursues in her work with Delta Zeta Sorority. Being the daughter of a widely-known Universalist minister, she has always had before her the concern for the welfare of others. After her graduation from Lombard College, Ga-lesburg, 111., she won a graduate scholarship to the University of Illinois. Following college she became a social worker, first as a children's case worker and later as a psychiatric social worker in the criminal court of the City of Detroit. Mrs. Castello's career as a leader in Delta Zeta began in 1939 when she became the president of the Detroit alumnae chapter. From this office she progressed to the position of province director. In 1942 she was elected to the national council of Delta Zeta as secretary and in. 1950 be-, came national extension vice president. Being always interested in panhellenic matters, in 1952 she became Delta Zeta's panhellenic representative to the National Panhellenic Conference. As national president of Delta Zeta from 1954 to 1958 she continued her interest in Panhellenic and was re-elected to the National Panhellenic Conference, at the close of her term as president of Delta Zeta. In addition to her home life, which is composed of a neurolo- ALL STRAY GREEKS Sorority members who do not have a chapter on this campus and would like to attend the Panhellenic Banquet, Feb. 6 at 5:30, Union Ballroom, are requested to contact Miss Deloney at Social Center. gist husband and student son—a member of Phi Kappa Phi—Mrs. Costello is interested in music and is currently a church organist; in amateur dramatics, in which she has been an active participant; in community affairs and in the field of education particularly. She has served as president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Wayne County Medical Society and as national chairman of the legislative committee of the Women's Auxiliary to the American Academy of Neurology. At the Delta Zeta national convention in June of 1958, Mrs. Costello was presented with a commission as a Kentucky Colonel, one of the few women in the country outside of Kentucky to be so honored. Blue Key Releases Ticket Sale Prices For Kingston Trio Ticket prices for the Kingston Trio Concert have been set at 2.50 per couple, and 1.75 per stag according to Paul Adamson, Blue Key vice-president. The concert, jointly sponsored by Blue Key and ODK, will be an event of March 5, and will be staged in the Student Activities Building at 8:30 p.m. Adamson urged that tickets be purchased early due to the limited seating capacity of the Student Activities Building. T he building will accommodate only 1,800 for this concert. Tickets will go on sale on Feb. 10, and may be obtained from ODK and Blue Key members. It is hoped that tickets will also be sold in advance through fraternities and-business establishments in town. Spring Show Script Nears Completion; Dancers Wanted This year's Spring Show will be a comedy written by Don Leithauser about Boston during the roaring Twenties, and will include nine songs and three production numbers.

Begins Tomorrow At Union Building The annual Blood Drive will be .Held tomorrow in the Student Union Building beginning at 8:00. A mobile Red Cross blood unit will be receiving donations all day and students may obtain a two hour Dean's excuse from classes when they give their donation. This, of course, includes an excuse from drill for men donating at that time. Bobo Starke, chairman of campus drives, continues to stress that full cooperation is needed from every member of the student body if the 800-pint goal is to be reached. Says Starke, "It doesn't hurt a bit!" The donation of blood by a student entitles the student's family to free blood for a year. Everyone is urged to support this worthwhile drive.

The annual UMOC contest is sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega and will use the proceeds from the contest this year to build a new sight marker to be put in front of Samford on College Street. For each penny contributed toward a Plainsman Misses On BSU Center In a recent issue of The Plainsman there appeared a story about the construction of a new BSU student center in Auburn. The statement was made that the "Executive board of the Southern Baptist Convention appropriated $200,000 for the purpose." It should have said that the board approved the appropriation as it does not have authority to appropriate money. The Plainsman staff regrets any misunderstanding that this mistake may have caused. candidate, he will get one vote. The candidate with the largest number of pennies will win the contest. ;r«Two trophies will be • awarded to the sorority sponsoring the ugly man of the year at the Eagles Nest to be held Feb. 20. One of the trophies will be a permanent possession of the sorority and the other will rotate annually until one sorority has won the contest for three years, not necessarily in succession. In the past, Alpha Phi Omega has used proceeds from the UMOC contest to buy a hi-fi set for the music room in the Union, to contribute the trophy case in the Union, and to contribute benches around the campus. Price Williams and Jack Goodman, chairmen of UMOC this year, urge all students to get out and back the ugly man of their choice. "It is hoped that this will be the biggest and best UMOC contest t h a t Auburn has ever had," Williams stated.

ATTENTION MARCH GRADUATES Measurements are being taken for caps and gowns at the College Book Store (Union Building) this week. All graduating seniors who have not been measured should go to the College Book Store as soon as possible. Dean Pumphrey Announces Credit Cut In ROTC Dean Fred H. Pumphrey announced today the approval of the plan to reduce the credit toward graduation allotted to advanced ROTC from 18 hours to six hours. This cut will be effective beginning Fall quarter 1959, and will not be retroactive, i.e., not affect students already enrolled in Advanced Military. The proposed cut has been under advisement for some time. It was made specifically to meet the recommendations of the Engineering Council for Professional Development, the body which is responsible for the accreditation of engineering curricula, throughout the country. The cut was made in order to make room for more general electives in various humanities courses for students in the School of Engineering. The lack of these courses was one reason that the departments of mechanical and electrical engineering lost their accreditation last Spring. The effect on a student entering advanced ROTC is briefly this. The student will have 12 credit hours added to his graduation requirement, raising it from 240 hours to 252. Unless he can make high enough grades to take these hours up in overloads he will have to come to school an extra quarter. Thirteen quarters is not unusual in the School of Engineering. This change was made in concurrence with all throe military departments. When a Plainsman r e p o r t e r contacted the various military department to get their opinion on the credit change, he was confronted with a reserved attitude. Colonel John Lockett, PMS&T said that the credit change was, "A little disturbing and unfortunate, but I will do my best as a member of the faculty to cooperate." When asked how the credit change would affect the enroll- (See ROTC Cut, Page 5) // II 1959 Greek Festivities Follow Theme: The Fraternity System, A Way Of Life By Carline Stephens The many and varied events of Auburn's Greek Week reached the halfway mark last night with-the joint IFC-Pan- Hellenic Banquet.

Lab Tech Students Form New Group One of Auburn's newest organizations on campus, the "Arm and Finger Stickers of Ross Lab^ oratory" (otherwise known as laboratory technology students), is well on its way to being a firmly established group. The idea for the' club was conceived last spring after a visit from the pathologist and two technicians from St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham. Last fall quarter the group held an organizational meeting and elected officers. A constitution was drawn up and approved, and a tentative program for the year set up. Some of the past programs have included talks by technologists and students from several hospitals in the Birmingham area. The next meeting, to be held Jan. 26, at 7:00, will consist of a movie of interest to all lab techs. On Feb. 9, Dr. Casey from the Baptist Hospital, Birmingham, being made for the club, among them being a field trip in Feb,, to visit several hospitals and their laboratories. Although this new club consists of lab technology students, anyone else with an interest in this field is invited to attend the meetings, held t h e second and fourth Monday of. each month.

Katherine Ann Porter Reviews Fiction Writing By JEAN HILL I n a lecture highlighted by personal comments to the audience, Miss K a t h e r i n e Anne P o r t e r gave an e x t r e m e l y int e r e s t i n g discussion last week on "What Is Fiction?" The att r a c t i v e and vivacious Miss Porter has achieved a high rank among 20th century writers on a relatively small volume of work. A native Texan, she was educated in small southern convent schools and has since spent long periods in Mexico. Much of her work has a Mexican setting, as was illustrated by the two short stories Miss Porter read Tuesday night. The first piece read by Miss Porter w a s "That Tree" taken from Flowering Judas. The setting of this short story was the time of a revolution and depicted the life of a literary "bum" in Mexico. To show the difference between fiction and non-fiction, Miss Porter read an autb-biographical story which was published in Mademoiselle under the title "Adventure In Living." Marked by their intense drama and psy- 13 Angel Flight Coeds Lead AF By TIM BATTLE Plainsman Features Editor In today's ever-cnanging jargon, there are many words such as "chick, dish or queen," which refer to a girl meritous of admiration from the opposite sex. But here at Auburn, these slang expressions have been refined to but one word . . . "angel," a word which is directly applied to a chic group of Air Force ROTC sponsors. Their name . . . "Angel Flight." With the objective of raising the Espirit de Corps of "brave defenders of the drill fields" on various campuses throughout the country, Angel Flight was originated as an auxiliary of Arnold Air Society immediately following World War II. Maintaining their objective with a strong tail-wind, the "Flight" has since es- On Campus with MaxShuIman {By the Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!" and, "Barefoot Boy with Cheek.") POVERTY CAN BE FUN It is no disgrace to b'e poor. It is an error, but it is no disgrace. So if your purse is empty, do not skulk and brood and hide your head in shame. Stand tall. Admit your poverty. Admit it freely and frankly and all kinds of good things will happen to you. Take, for instance, the case of Blossom Sigafoos. Blossom, an impecunious fresMnmn at an Eastern girls' college, was smart as a whip and round as a dumpling, and scarcely a day went by when she didn't get invited to a party weekend at one of the nearby men's schools. But Blossom never accepted. She did not have the rail fare; she did not have the clothes. Weekend after weekend, while her classmates went frolicking, Blossom sat alone, saved from utter despair only by her pack of Marlboros, for even an exchequer as slim as Blossom's can afford the joys of Marlboro—joys far beyond their paltry price: rich, mellow tobaccos, lovingly cured and carefully packed; a new improved filter that works like a charm.

However, Marlboro's most passionate admirers—among whose number I am paid to count myself—would not claim that Marlboro can entirely replace love and romance, and Bios* som grew steadily moroser. tablished 26 bases nationally; their touchdown on the API campus being in 1956. Only a few years old, Auburn's Angel Flight has matured into a highly respected group on campus. Besides acting as hostesses at previous Village Fairs and at teas held for visiting dignitaries, the Flight has another function, that of marching with the AFROTC units onrparade and aiding in generally brightening up the drill field at inspection time. Although the methods of selecting co-eds for Angel Flight varies from campus to campus, Auburn has perhaps the most democratic and efficient procedure. Serving during the remainder of their college career, the "Angels" are first nominated by any basic or advanced AFROTC cadet whenever a vacancy occurs. Then, much to the basic's dismay, they are interviewed or screened by the advanced cadets of Arnold Air Society. Then, after a careful screening process, t h e candidates are returned to the basic cadets for their "Flight Approval." Elected to represent the entire AFROTC Wing, the three groups, and the nine squadrons, the membership totals thirteen in number. After selection, the co-ed sponsors of the Wing and the three bomber groups are presented at the annual Military Ball. It is at this Ball that a faculty committee carefully surveys 'the sponsors of the three armed forces, and decides who is to be the entire ROTC Corps sponsor for the ensuing year. Last year, a member of Angel Flight and also the Wing Sponsor • held this honor; KATHERINE ANNE PORTER chological penetration, both these stories had as their theme the idea that a man ultimately thanks those who criticize him and, in so doing reveals him to himself. The lecture was enlivened by Miss Porter's running commentary on her stories, her life, and things ' in general. Completely at ease on stage, she stopped several times to ask for an adjustment of lights and microphone; she once turned to a photographer to admonish, "Stop that!" The photographer, Bill Lollar of The Plainsman, beat a hasty retreat. Then aside to the audience she said, "They always catch me with my mouth open." Characterized by a ready wit and a thorough knowledge of her subject, Miss Porter is an excellent speaker as well as writer. When asked when she would be returning to API, Miss Porter r e plied, "When I am invited." From the warm applause she received it would seem that this will be soon. Seven Students Get New Scholarships Scholarships have been awarded seven students for the winter and spring quarters. Four Alcoa scholarships went to Winfrcd W. Yeargan, Selma; Sherman W.

Ruby Jo Faust, Newville, a sophomore in the School of Education is the recipient of the W i n n-D i x i e scholarship. The James S. Boyd award was won by Michael F. Mosely. He is a sophomore studying building construction from Ramer. Ronald C. Goodwin, Auburn, is winner of the H. K. Porter scholarship. Goodwin is a senior with a major in civil engineering.

For the past few years the Guild has been a struggling organization, in contrast with its reputation of 1952 when it was one of the most active organizations on the campus. At that time it also was a link between the building industry and the School of Architecture, and was responsible for several awards being offered by the building industry. The officers of the Guild for the coming year are: Bill Falls, president; Joel Killingsworth, vice-president; Joe Walker, corresponding secretary; Fred Craft, treasurer. The faculty advisor for the Guild is Professor Edward C. Marty. president; Mary Irkelbach, secretary; Linda Peace, treasurer, and Roger Larson, historian.

Well-trained doctors and nurses will efficiently extract a pint of the fluid from each student who volunteers as painlessly and impersonally as a photographer takes a picture—and almost as fast. To the professionals their work will be, on the face of it, a job. To the donors it will be a novel break in routine, an excuse from drill, or perhaps, another point for his fraternity which is after the trophy. The people who will eventually receive the blood though, will look upon it as dearly as life itself. It may well be just that. j "-Mfr'mftP Death and the threat of death are states which most of us glibly admit are close at hand wherever we may be. In our mind's eye however, we see it in an entirely different light. It's always the anonymous guy in the next block who's been plagued with bad breaks. A close examination of accident statistics will show us that there's a pretty good chance that the fellow lives a lot closer than he used to. He might even move in and get his host involved. Auburn holds a college record for blood donations, but the fact that our goal this year is only 800 pints is indicative of a low percentage of campus participation. Eight hundred donors from a potential 8,400 is a pretty poor showing, we think. Particularly when the ultimate use of this substance is taken into consideration. Every drop will go to improve the well-being of a fellow human being. We may, in this way, save a life. We may only prolong a life, but as long as any of us believe in tne worth of society it will not have been wasted. Somewhere a person will eventually need the assistance that we can offer tomorrow. It may be an Auburn student. Of what worth will all the conventions of civilization be if we can help, and don't. ^ U T H E M A M f C A W P U S ^ Fellows, Listen Here A New Colesium ? Now that Auburn's basketball squad has reached national prominence, demand for a suitable place to play has become an everyday conversation piece. Only one answer can be offered to the often-repeated question of "Why don't we build a n ew coliseum?" I t ' s v e r y obvious— Auburn simply doesn't have t h e money. Cost of such a s t r u c t u r e , seating capacity of 8,500 would be desirable to fill t h e needs of the school, athletic department, and community, would be minimized at $1,- 725,000. The only methods of financing such a gigantic undertaking, as seen by the Athletic Department, are legislative appropriation, alumni contribution, and bond sale secured by increases in student activity fees. ' Although a bill authorizing construction of an Auburn coliseum is c u r r e n t l y on the legislature's calendar, it will reportedly fail to gain approval. Too many other matt e r s r a t e p r i o r i t y now, in t h e views of Alabama's solons. They seem to m a i n t a i n that t h e State Coliseum in Montgomery sufficiently serves the area. Current alumni support will be v i r t u a l ly unavailable. Their aid in Auburn's quest toward engineering reaccreditation has been generous. L i t t l e more can be asked or expected from this group. If our need is to be secured w i t h i n the near future, its financing method w i l l probably be through bond issues. But before such instruments of credit may be sold, income for payments must be solidly fixed for the future. The Athletic Depart-men states t h a t y e a r l y t o t a l s of $40,000, expected profits from schedules of t e n home court games, would be earmarked toward bond amortization. Since such an edifice would be used by the i n s t i t u t i o n proper for physical education purposes, graduation, dramatic programs, registration, and celebrity presentations, A P I ' s fair share of payment would be added. But the fact cannot be disguised that Auburn's students would secure t h e maximum enjoyment from a new arena. To effect its construction, p a r t of the burden would rightfully fall on them. The Union Building was made possible through student pledges to p a y higher activity fees. A similar action might someday bring Aub u r n her long-awaited coliseum. There is no question of h ow acute the school's need for a multi-purpose field-house has become. The crowded situation in physical education dressing rooms and t h e packed-to-the-rafters Sports Arena on game nights have testified to that effect. P e r h a p s one of t h e t h r e e possible methods can prove suitable.—PHILLIPS. By What Right? . We think the Board of Social Life's latest decision, to prohibit winter house parties, is rather presumptious. Touching only^ lightly on the wholesome vs. unwholesome social aspects of the case, the Board has ruled on the grounds that some roads would be too dangerous for winter travel. These roads, according to our sources of information, are located in the mountain-eous areas of northern Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. While this paternalistic concern for the safety of Auburn's students is commendable, we cannot condone its application here.

To our knowledge there is no agency in this school which has the right to dictate freedom of choice to the degree that is shown in this case. . We are sure that the Board members weighed the pros and cons of the issue as conscientiously as possible. Yet, the results, from our standpoint, seem to have been arrived at in a haphazard manner from an illogical direction. It is not up to the Board of Social Life to protect the life and limb of Auburn students. And attempt to do so is a miscon-strual of its function and an implied insult to the intelligence of the students for whom the measure is designed. We don't deny that of the 8,400 men and women here there is likely to be a few so mentally deficient that they are a menace to their own safety. But give the rest of us, the other ninty-nine per cent of us, credit for having enough sense to come in out of the snow—or off a hazardous highway. Wide newspaper coverage was given to the s n o w - b o u n d house party from G e o r g i a Tech last year, and this apparently influenced the recent ruling here. In our opinion, the idea that the publicity resulting from that incident was of an injurious nature is grossly exaggerated. It was reported in every newspaper that we read as a humerous, human interest story. Had the school not forbidden its coeds to go on house parties, none but the narrowest of minds would have seen it differently. Even if we were able to go along with the philosophy of the ruling, i.e., that students are incapable of judging hazardous road conditions, we find tremendous gaps in the logic of the ruling. There is little ice, less snow, and the highways of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana are generally excellent. Yet all of these areas are made as inaccessable for house parties as the North Pole. The excuse: the Board did not want to give the appearance of dictating where and where not the functions could be held. We are equally sure that the members placed themselves in the roles of benevolent despots reluctantly. We hope that when it is pointed out that their benevolence could easily and with some justification be interpreted as arrogance, they will reconsider. oy, you should have seen her clobber that guy yesterday* A COLUMNIST'S VIEW Something For Nothing... Ha! A few months ago I joined the Columbia Record Club at the request of my room mate, a member. For joining, I would receive a total of three free records. "What a deal!" I thought at the time. Only six weeks later, that supposed bargain was revealed as an illusion. Each individual is entitled to his o w n opinion. There are those who b e l i e ve that this club is t h e h o t t e st thing to hit the mail since subscriptions to Playboy w e re introduced. But to the Auburn Phillips students who are now considering joining this organization and for those who may ponder membership in the future, these words of advice are presented. To sum it all up briefly, it is my opinion that Columbia's top records aren't being offered to club members. With an occasional outstanding album supplied, I suppose for variety's sake, the majority of monthly selections are discs which haven't sold successfully on the national market. Actually, the group of free records from which to choose when you first become a member is the most outstanding selection you'll see. BY JIM PHILLIPS After you choose your three free platters, requirements state that you must buy four items from an inferior set of listings offered during the forthcoming year. The company attempts to sustain the interest of the more unaware member through a lasting promise to supply him with an additional free record when a new constituent is brought into t he club. Naturally, there is a separate group of recordings available for this purpose. Looking over a bonus list recently, I spotted at least four albums which I could have secured at home a month ago for $1.98 during store clearances. These records have been valued at $3.98 or more in various club'brochures. And if you think you'd really like to purchase any of. the recordings listed in the club catalogs at $3.98 and $4.98 plus mailing charges, l o o k around local marts. From time to time^sa^e^ are run in such concerns. £he$pr. same records can often be pb-tained at sizeable reduction.

If you want to adhere to that trend, there is an ancient a n d wise adage which will help steer you in the right way. "You can't get something for nothing!" LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express gratitude to Lonnie L. Clayton for his letter to the Editor in reply to Carlisle Towery's column of January 14. I feel that I can speak in behalf of all who see the need for a liberal education in all curricula in saying that Mr. Clayton has done more to further that end than all the volumes Mr. Towery could compose on that subject in two lifetimes, and he has given more evidence of its necessity than ten years of surveys and research could have done. I am not at all uncertain that Mr. Clayton is not a liberal arts spy in the engineer's quarters. The subtle propaganda device of denouncing Towery as an unlearned tool of the administration was a stroke of pure genius and must certainly have elevated his position in the engineering's resistance movement to precarious heights. The intellectual analysis that he, in the guise of an engineer, gave of Towery's column, must have convinced even t he most hardened anti-intellectualist that their position was not an enviable one. The slurred rationalism, the childish retaliatory remarks, the completely omitted acknowledgement of the Chance- Vought Aircraft advertisement on page three, all were superbly blended to arouse even the freshman engineers to question t he validity of their stand against in-tellectualism. It is good to know that we have an underground movement, staffed by capable men who will risk their own intellect to venture into the enemy's home ground and so stealthily undermine his firm foundation with such brilliant and subtle propaganda. I suggest an award for Mr. Clayton—a large volume of literature's better products and a forthcoming volume entitled "How to Comprehend Written English." W. H. Byrd • * * Dear Editor: I would like to make several comments about registration. It seems that registration is the most hated part of school for many of us. One of the reasons is that it seems to need a little more organization. There are several times and places where there are long lines. If there could be several people taking care of these long lines it might make them go a little faster and would make it easier on those of us who are waiting in them. There are many students at Auburn who get special privileges in registration and some of them deserve these special privileges. But why shouldn't the special privileges of registration be extended to students who do outstanding work scholastically? Don't the people who make the Dean's list deserve a few such honors? I think the students who make the Dean's List should be allowed to register before the rest of their class. They could be allowed to register. about an hour before the rest of the class starts, even if they could not pre-regis-ter. This would be a little reward for doing good work and would encourage them to keep it up. It would also, help other students to strive more to make better grades. I would like to see Auburn always improving in every way. Sincerely, Jack Hanum In recent issues of the Plainsman, the male columnists have been sending women back to their "places" in prose. In answer, the following poetical discription of the Auburn man is presented. Any exceptions are invited to respond! Rarely individual when placed in a mass, But never typed or put in a class. Unto himself a king is he, With reason or no, as the case may be. The Auburn man with Ivy vest, A boon to the world; to women a test. Eyes shining, hands steady Unless he's been to Archie's already! Freshman fuzz or bristled cheek, Say! have you shaved this week? H o m e l y , handsome, beggars, kings, His own praises each one sings. The Auburn man has quite a line, Until he finds himself entwined. Then a pinning or a ringing And over the lake he'll soon be swinging. Until the coed finds someone new, At three to one that's easy to BY BEFKE DeRING do! Girls gain charm at finishing school, But Auburn lads can all play pool! Adept they are at poker and gin, To attend i concert would be a sin. A different side now appears, Without old quizzes, failure he fears. An occasional cut means no harm, Too many FA's—back to the barn. Leaving Auburn as they came: Pickled body—Sterile brain. STUDENT GUIDANCE CENTER A Pathway To Success Should I be a lawyer, engineer, doctor, or what? This is the typical question that a majority of future college students must answer. As high school graduation approaches, along with the realization that time is getting short, the problem assumes even larger proportions. Thus the decisions in many cases are too hurried, resulting in wasted time, money, and effort. The troubles caused by this question, unfortunately, are not always alleviated by the purchase of a rat cap and the issuance of a class card. The problem follows many students through their freshman, and even sophomore years at API. This worry and anxiety is, to some extent, unnecessary. Within limits, most students have some idea of where their interests lie. The problem is to find that exact point on the scale. The Student Guidance Service, harper located in the basement of Lang-don Hall, has as its main objective the counseling and guidance of students, many of whom are not exactly satisfied in their present curriculum. They administer various types of tests f r o m a selection of over 100. The tests compare the student's interest and abilities to those of successful people in various professional fields, such as business, medicine, law, etc. Through the results of these quizzes and counseling, the student is m a d e aware of his strengths, weaknesses, and interests, therefore enabling him to make a wiser choice as to his major subject. One point must be remembered, however. Aptitude tests are not panaceas, nor are they infallible. They may be interpreted in many ways and, coupled with the proper counseling, can show where your chief interests seem to be. The Student Guidance Service is headed by Dr. H. F. Vallery and has four counsellors on the staff. It recently gained recognition from the American Board on Professional Standards in Vocational ounseling, making it the only accredited guidance service in Ala- BY BOBBY HARPER bama. A very up-to-date and complete library is maintained by the Service with books and pamphlets available on all occupations. Information on various job opportunities, other schools, scholarships, and subjects of interest to students may be found in the Library. Like other departments at Au-jurn, the Guidance Center has a jemendous work load f o r the OTiall staff. A total of 3400 persons were interviewed last year, ind 2224 tests were given, excluding the mandatory placement tests. Out of one quarter's graduating class last year, it was found that' 40 per cent had changed their major at least once while at Auburn. An undetermined number had switched schools more often. If these people had visited the Guidance Center earlier, a great deal of hardship could have been avoided. * Very little time is required to take a series of tests. Many students who find their interest lag- , ging in their present courses would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity afforded them. Now is the time. ANOTHER ANSWER Females Demand Versatile Engineers! tic The purpose of the following •words is to answer as best I can the question of why engineers need a more liberal education. First of all, I am a girl; I know very little about an engineer's curriculum; I am definitely unqualified to state any opinion- on the Auburn engineering department, a nd I've never even appraised or considered the courses the average boy needs to g r a d u a te w i t h a degree > > in engineering. Teller But, nevertheless, I have appraised and considered the average engineer, and I feel fully qualified in explaining my reasons for believing in a "liberal" education for these math and science men. Men, have you ever dated a girl who had absolutely nothing to say? Or better still, have you ever dated a girl who tried to tell you about the latest recipes nax'oiS nn for roast beef the most modern shoes, or the future for pastel lingerie? If so, were you bored? Think back, and consider what you had to add to these most enlightening conversations. Did you try to tell her about the latest in high compressioned rockets to the moon, the most scientific way to measure an oil well, or the future for the aeronautical engineer on the planet Mars, or could you get a word in edgewise? Was this battle the extent of your date? If so, even though I hate to deflate your big head, she was just as bored as you, and it is a good thing that you didn't call again because no doubt you would have been refused, (politely). I would not like' to spend an evening talking about the most complex subject one can think of; nor would I like to spend an evening hearing about the achievements of my brilliant date, but I am impressed if my date can converse on subjects other than, the forever interesting cars, football, basketball and other BY LINDA TELLER general topics we all hear about' every day. You could be another Rock Hudson with a smile like Paul Newman's, and still these trite subjects would get stale. Furthermore, one of these days most of you will be caught, and marriage does, in a sense, hold the same problems as a date. A woman wants a man that she can be proud of in any place and under any circumstances. She wants to brag about not only his ability as an engineer, but also his business ability, and his intellectual ability. It is very true that the consumer who buys the company's product is not concerned with whether the managers of the plant read Homer or not, but do consider the ladies who have to associate with the managers; they care. You, the engineer, for yourself and everyone with whom you associate please take a little advice . . . read and study some philosophy, psychology and history. I guarantee that you will enjoy life much more, and what is more, others will enjoy you. A COLUMN Sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, two recent articles of creditable magazines point to the kind of thing (which has not been held up as novel) currently asserted by this column. "The Place and Price of Excellence," by Colombia's Jacques Barzun is a very meaty and provocative distillation in the February issue of Vogue. And this month's Esquire devotes capsule and captioned opinions of several New England prominents in answer to "What Worries You Most About America Today?" The two articles are commended to you and to literate engineers. Both articles, in a more public way, knock at the foundations of our educational system, particularly at o u r philosophies. Both are critical with an inseparable sincerity, as unsatisfied parties Towery are obliged to be. Both, like this column, intend to render their readers aware, not to "expose" them at all. Where these articles have sought More Proof to criticize the quarry, if you will, this column has picked only at one of the larger rocks—specialization. Professor Barbun deplores today's educational mode which assigns high value to the applied and the vocational, and in a lesser way, to health, citizenship and a host of. others, but which renders intellect an unheard-of element. And Harvard President Nathan Pusey, like Barzun, is concerned with the mitigated "intellectual component" of our national life— the lack of realization of the real need for "creative capacities." Among the array of thinkers in the Esquire is an engineer who tells us that "We've got to stop worrying and get real busy and work," and, happily, an architect who feels that "We have lost the aesthetic side of life . . . " A physicist worries about the lack of respect for intellectual work and for intellectual integrity. A history and language professor points to the neglected intrigue, suspense and thrill—in short, sleuthing— which scholarship offers. An American Historian is convinced that our education is due for an overhaul. All in all, these are in substance the sympathies of this col- BY CARLISLE TOWERY umn; especially, the opinion that the engineer and his institution can not realize their inadequacies if they are not curious in an intellectual, a general, direction. They can not see their predicaments, fostered by each other if the end of their noses is the extent of their view. Complacency, it would seem, is. the first hurdle. Sir Gallahad jumped off his horse and ran into the inn. "I have a message for the King," he told the innkeeper. "My mount is tired and can you lend me a horse?" "I have no horse," replied the man, but he pointed to a huge dog, "This is the only animal I possess." "Very well—I'll take him." "Oh Sir," cried in the innkeeper, "I wouldn't send a knight out on a dog like this." * * * Judge: You admit that you drove over this man with a loaded truck.

Those words describe the playful social life of Auburn last weekend. Costume parties were the rage while Hi-Fi parties and cook-outs ran a close second. Delta Zeta members literally ate their point averages Monday night at their scholarship supper. Those with a two-point ate chicken, while t h o s e with a one point ate hot dogs and the poor souls with under a point ate the beans. Squires and Cwens sophomore men and women's honoraries respectively began the weekend early with a cookout on Thursday at Chewacla. Phi Delta Theta turned the Hi- Fi set on last Friday while Pi Kappa Phi entertained with a house dance to the tune of Hi- Fi. Sigma Phi Epsilon opened their doors to the campus at their open house. Friday was the night for a rush party at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. The prospectives were entertained with Hi-Fi by the members. The Rhythm Rockers of Montgomery provided the music at the Alpha Tau Omega House for the "Go To Hell" costume party on Saturday. Sigma Alpha Epsilon decided to have the Amvets from Montgomery for their Saturday afternoon costume party and the Rhythm Kings for the party that night. Hi-Fi was the music provided at the Pi Kappa Alpha's on Saturday night. The Sigma Phi Epsilon House was the "island" that members and their dates were stranded on at their Ship-Wreck party.

A Campus-to-Career Case History i Bill Burns (far right) reviews a plan for expanding Syracuse's toll-free calling area with some fellow supervisors. He wanted more than 'just an engineering job" William G. Burns majored in Civil Engineering at Union College. But he had his own ideas about his engineering future. "I wanted a job with a 'growth' company," he says, "where I could develop and move ahead as a member of management." Bill found his 'growth' company—and his management opportunity. On graduating in June, 1954, he started work with the New York Telephone Company. Six months of training and job assignments in Albany familiarized him with the Plant, Commercial, Accounting and Traffic functions of the telephone busi- Iness. Then came 13 months as engineer iin the Long Range Planning Group. In October, 1956, he was promoted to Supervising Engineer. Bill was transferred to Syracuse in August, 1953, as Supervising Engineer- Fundamental Plans, with a staff of four engineers and two clerks. In this job, he studies and forecasts the future telephone needs of customers in a 4800- square-mile area, planning from three to 20 years ahead. He then co-ordinates the development of plans to meet future needs with the various engineering groups involved. Bill calls it "management engineering." Bill is married, has three youngsters and owns his own home. "A man has to build his own security," he says, "and finding the right place to do it can be mighty important. Choosing a Bell Telephone career was the best decision I ever made. I don't know where an ambitious young fellow can find more or better chances to move ahead in management." Many young men, with degrees in the sciences, arts, engineering or business, are finding interesting and reward* ing careers with the Bell Telephone Companies. Look into career opportunities for you. Talk with the Bell interviewer when he visits your campus. And read the Bell Telephone booklet on file in your Placement Office.

Tradition Plays Large Part In Spirit Lathe, Pajama Parade, Rat Hats Are Traditional Signs Of Loyalty By LANCE HEARN "Once an Auburn man always an Auburn man." Trite though it may sound, this continues to be a mark of distinction for this institution. Wherever you go, practically everyone has heard of. Auburn. The reasons for this fame is due in part to the customs and traditions, though few as those found in the average college of comparable size, which have been nurtured through the years and passed on from student to student. Much has been said and written about Auburn's indomitable spirit. It has become a far-flung brotherhood embracing all men who have called Auburn their home. Architecture Dean At NX. State Will Give Lecture Here Henry L. Kamphoefner, dean of the School of Design, North Carolina State College, will be a campus visitor this week. Charles M. Kelley, head of the department of architecture announced that Dean Kamphoefner will speak in Biggin Hall, Room 91, Thursday afternoon on the subject "The New Architecture of North Carolina." The lecture will be illustrated with color slides, and students, faculty and public are invited to attend. Dean Kamphoefner came to North Carolina State in 1948 from the University of Oklahoma. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois and Columbia University. He has traveled in France, Germany, England, Holland, Belgium and Mexico, and has been visiting professor and lecturer at University of Minnesota, Sweet Briar College, Hol-lins College, and Miami University. He is co-author of two books on architecture and city planning and has written many articles on these professional subjects. Dean Kamphoefner has engaged in the practice of architecture in Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, and r e ceived special recognition for the Grandview Music Pavilion, Sioux City, Iowa. Under the leadership of Kamphoefner, the North Carolina State School of Design has developed nationally recognized programs' in architecture, landscape architecture and industrial design. Dean Kamphoefner addressed the Arts Festival banquet in Birmingham on Feb. 4 before visiting Auburn. Perhaps the richest of all traditions and heritages, API's spirit serves as the foundation for the school's individuality. No one knows exactly what causes this surge of spirit. The most outward manifestation of the spiritual alliance is the renowned battle cry, "War Eagle." Tales of the origin of this tradition are varied, but the compelling words will be heard wherever Auburn men gather. On the other hand, some claim that the spirit at Auburn is due to the air of. friendliness which pervades the campus. A formal introduction is unnecessary; everybody speaks to everybody. One of the most talked about traditions is that of the Lathe. Located next to Samford Hall, the huge machine was used to manufacture arms for the Confederacy during the War Between the States, and was later retired to its present location. It has become a distinct landmark on campus. A custom which applies to all incoming freshmen centers around the Main Gate. Since the day it was constructed, no freshman has legally trespassed its width. In order to accommodate Auburn's "yearlings," asphalt sidewalks have been constructed on either side. A dirty look and perhaps a directed paddle awaits the first-year man who disregards this custom. One of the big days of the fall quarter is Homecoming. Sponsored by Blue Key, national service honorary, the celebration recalls alumni for nostalgic reunions. Fraternities and sororities decorate for the weekend. A special dance is held and a Homecoming Queen is chosen to reign at the football game. All freshmen, sleepy or otherwise, are required - to don their most colorful sleeping apparel for participation in the "Wreck Tech" Pajama Parade, which is held every year in conjunction with the pep rally preceding the Au-burn- Ga. Tech football classic. Freshmen carry banners, shout encouragement to the Tigers, and predict impending doom for the Yellow Jackets. These are a few of the customs and traditions which make ol' "War Eagle Tech" a good place to come to. There are many more . . . the ODK-Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race where the winning sprinter gets a kiss from Miss Auburn, the proud wearing of the Orange and Blue, the "War Eagle Express" each year to Tech, and others too numerous to mention. But regardless of their numbers, these traditions are of great benefit to the school in that they add an individuality, a personality to the loveliest Village. "And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it."

A SMOKING MAN'S TASTE I i SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS By RONNIE McCULLARS . . . Sports Editor While Auburn's undefeated basketball team continues to march over the Southeastern Conference with little effort, Casey Stengel continues to hold high hopes of Mickey Mantle and a few other well known bat swingers to give in and accept the reduction in salary—which they probably won't take—and the great southern metropolis of Atlanta's police force, who are usually accustomed to apprehending criminals, continue to burglarize that city's inhabitants; the coaching staff and football team are making last minute preparations before donning pads on Monday for the . first day of a tentatively cool Spring Training. The footballers, who have been outdone in the win column by the capable basketball team, have somewhat of a sizable task set before them. Come September they must find a few replacements for such "football scholars" as Jerry Wilson, Lloyd Nix, Mike Simmons, Tommy Lorino, Frank LaRussa, and Cleve Wester. All of them contributed greatly to the Auburn cause and its string of 24 games undefeated. But finding someone to f i l l the shoes of All-American Wilson and SEC offense leader Nix will be a major problem for the Tiger coaching staff. As most Auburn folks know, when someone moves out in Plainsman sports there stands two guys battling it out to move into the vacated position. There is nothing unprecedented about an unkno'wn Tiger athlete making headlines on his first appearance before his home folks. And the 1959 edition of the Auburn football team possesses all the attributes of keeping in that same tradition. The graduates will be missed, but by the time Kentucky gets to the Plains there will be so many names to fill in their stead they will almost be forgotten. Wilson and Simmons made us forget about the outstanding play of All-America Jimmy Phillips. And out there Monday to begin laying plans for the removal from our minds the exhibitions of Wilson and Simmons will be three potential greats at the Auburn end position. Joe Leightman, a junior, Leo Sexton and Bobby Wasden, both seniors, who'll not be in pads until the A-Day game at the end of spring practice. These three probably possess more offensive ability than any returning ends coaches Gene Lorendo and Joel Eaves have seen in just as many years. They may be a little smaller, but they will get the job done and then drag in that home-run pass when the chips are down. Move into the line to the tackle spot and you find the most up and coming young lineman in the conference, Leon Myers— he got to see plenty of action last season as a sophomore and he proved then that he is every bit of a leading SEC lineman. Then there is the returner who started at tackle in '58, Teddy Foret. He's big and tough and by September he'll be the polished All-Conference candidate. Then will come the parade of red-shirts itching for SEC play in September. Zeke Smith and Jackie Burkett—what more could you hope for at the guard and center positions. Both big strong and fast All-Americans and most of all, both returning. Auburn's backfield will be star studded again as it has been in the past. Nix and Lorino are gone.'but look at all of them that are back. Working at quarterback will be two of the best in the nation— Bryant Harvard and Richard Wood.'... Harvard is the cool signal caller who sat out last year^MiljjrjJijriarch because of a broken leg. Wood is the lanky guy^njeirtedNinto the* Maryland game to see what he could do in a game*for the first time, and he proved himself a superior quarterback. He hasn't sat one out in a long time and it will be a long time before he sits out another. At halfbacks will be the best in the book, Lamar Rawson, Jimmy Pettus and Bobby Lauder. Coach Eaves has his six starters in basketball but Coach Bradberry has three great backs in this bunch. Any one of them could make everybody's A l l - Something list. There is no better way to start a spring training than to have the three best halfbacks in the conference. The fullback position is the same way, with Jimmy Reynolds, Ronnie Robbs, and Ed Dyas being the greats here. I HAVE GONE down the list of Tigers who proved themselves last season, but that isn't why you have spring drills. The main reason for a practice in the spring is to look at the guys who are coming up or the ones who haven't played as yet. Sine* this was just a preview of the so called old timers, by this time next week there may be an entirely new list of outstanding footballers. There is one thing for sure the young guys w i l l be adding to that list. 6—THE PLAINSMAN KGDL Wednesday, February 4, 1959 KROSSWORD JACKIE BURKETT LEO SEXTON JIMMY PETTUS BRYANT HARVARD BOBBY LAUDER RONNIE ROBBS Footballers Begin Spring Work Twenty Lettermen Returning For Tigers' Coach Jordan By James Abrams Plainsman Sports Writer Auburn's mighty Tigers, who take to the.football field like ducks take to water, have 20 hard-hitting, back-aching days of spring t r a i n i n g coming up Feb. 9. Next Monday, 70 some-odd footballers are expected to r e p o rt to head coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, with 20 l e t t e r m e n included in the group. "We should have another fine football team," Coach Jordan says. "Each season we have lost some outstanding players but in the past we have had others to step forth . . . the newcomers are the ones we are most anxious to view during spring training." "Our seniors will be in sweat clothes during the workouts but they will play during the A-Day game," Jordan added. "Our main concentration will be on the sophomores." Almost unprecendented in the ranks of college football is the fact that no player on this year's Auburn team has ever played in a losing encounter. The upcoming seniors have a record of 19 victories, no losses and one tie. This year's team has much to live up to as in 1958 the fourth-ranked Tigers set four API records and led the nation in both offense and defense. Ail-Americans Zeke Smith and Jackie Burkett lead the War Eagles back in what, we think, will be another successful . season. Ed Dyas Jimmy Pettus, Joe Leichtman, Ken Rice, and G. W. Clapp, all listed on AP's All-Sophomore team, will be competing for starting lineups. Holder of the nation's longest unbeatten string—24 straight victories—the Tigers will feature 20 returning lettermen. Lettermen reporting will be ends Joe Leichtman, Leo Sex- Vanderbilt Tried, Everybody Tried; But Tigers Roil On By John Wallace Plainsman Sports Writer A rugged Vanderbilt squad fought hard and long Sat-t u r d a y night only to become t h e 25th victim of the nation's winningest basketball t e am by a 64-61 count. Auburn downed Kentucky-killer Vandy on the loser's home court and before 7,000 partisan Nashville fans. The last few minutes almost spelled defeat for the fourth-ranked Tigers as the Commodores wouldn't say die. Three times in the closing minutes the Plainsmen found themselves out in front by only a single point and never by more than four. Rex Frederick, the "giant" of the Auburn team, had one of his best nights, sacking 22 baskets and grabbing off eight rebounds. The 6-5 center dumped in a layup with fourteen minutes remaining to send the Tigers ahead for good at 40- 38. Vandy, with four men 6-4 or better, was surprisingly outre-bounded by the smaller Tigers. Henry Hart, a 6-1 guard, led with nine rebounds followed by Frederick's eight. Vanderbilt hit from the floor 24 times for a 40.7 percentage while Auburn, the SEC leader in this department, connected on 22 attempts for a sub-par 41-3 per cent. Vandy captain, Jim Henry, a hot-shot guard, out for a couple of games with a bad annkle, r e turned to action in good form to share team scoring honors with 6-4 Ben Rowan. Both chipped in 15 points. Behind Frederick came Hart with 13, co-captain Jimmy Lee with nine, and Jimmy Fibbe and David Vaughn with eight each to round out Auburn scoring. Auburn shuffled off to an early lead hitting mainly on crip shots and appealed to be on the way to an easy victory. At halftime the Tigers led 31- 25. But Vanderbilt had been resting and waiting for two weeks during exams and wouldn't give up. They came back again and again scoring on free shots mostly in the last quarter. It was the free throws which almost beat the visitors, although Auburn netted 20 charity tosses to the Commodores' 13. 6-0 in SEC play before last night's Tech match, the Tigers face Georgia and Florida next.

HUMBLE HUMBLE OIL & REFINING COMPANY • ^ 7—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, February 4, 1959 REX FREDERICK JIMMY LEE HENRY HART JIMMY F1BBE PORTER GILBERT DAVID VAUGHAN Gators, Dogs Face SEC Menaces— And Arena By Lance Hearn Plainsman Sports Writer The fourth-ranked Tigers are stalking their prey again this week, desiring to leave behind them the mangled bodies of Bulldogs and Gators. On Friday, Feb. 7, Georgia journeys to Auburn. The following Monday, Feb. 9, Florida treks to the Loveliest Village. Both Georgia and F l o r i da have let their chances for a championship slip t h r o u gh their fingers. These are the type teams to be wary of. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. A win over Auburn would be a shining beacon in an otherwise dismal season. The sophomore crew f r om Athens has good average size and its greenness is being polished off with every ensuing game. John Johnson Gordon Darrah, Don Keiser, Pat Casey, and Fred Edmondson make up this threatening quintet. A little better shooting percentage could put a bite in the toothless Bulldog's attack". Their inefficiency in the field and at the charity line was their prime reason for defeat the last time. Also if they tone down the .rough stuff, they might keep their first team in longer. Their rough tactics, in the last encounter with the Plainsmen, cost them the services of their ace rebounder, Edmundson. Flprida has.had its share of troubles^ this season also. They lost their three- top players and have had difficulty recovering the scoring and rebounding power that these boys provided. Dick Hoban, a speedster who drives well, and 6-i Charles Bike, who may be the Gators' chjef scoring threat, are the men to watch. Other starters will be 6-5 Bob Sherwood, who picked up some experience last year and 6-2 Bob Shiyef and 6-0 Lou Merchant, a pair of sophs. Shiver is reputed to be an excellent rebounder for his size. Reserves include 6r3 Wal- Matmen Drop Emory ter Rabbbn, a veteran, and 6-6 George Jung, 6r2 Frank Ethe-ridge, 5-11 PaulMosory, and 6-2 Jeff Osfcorpe, who have seen action this year. .Coach John Mauer thinks his boys can overcome their lack of heighth with, speed and aggressiveness. Let's fill the Sports Arena to capacity' this week and' show the team you're still behind then). Your support will keep the longest winning streak in -the nation alive. Auburn Accepts Bid To 1959 Classic; Bama Only Other Team Named To Date Athletic Director Jeff Beard announced Saturday that the Auburn Tigers w o u l d defend their Birmingham Classic basketball championship next December in the Magic City.

Sports Editor A couple of weeks ago, the nation's number one ranked team ran head-on into a crippled Vanderbilt squad in Nashville, Tenn. The results were that Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats came out on the bad end of a terrific upset. The Vandy squad, whose head coach, Bob Polk is even out for the season, defeated the Wildcats at the free throw line by politely taking advantage of 49 fouls. Mighty Auburn turned the tables last Saturday night, and decisioned Vandy at the same line. The Tigers had 20 charity tosses compared to Vandy's 13. It seems that of late in the SEC, the team who can get the most foul shots and hit them, is the one who wins the close ones. The Vandy team, in conquering the powerful Kentuckians, seems to have embarrassed the pride and prestige of the Bluegrass country. The embarrassment has caused the Wildcats to soundly slaughter Tech, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. While Rupp's men are always playing one game at a time, they seem to be watching Auburn with one eye and their next game with the other. At the beginning of the season, Kentucky was picked to have a usual good team, but not a national champion. Loaded with sophomores and two junior college transfers, plus a tremendous ballplayer in Johnny Cox, the Wildcats have developed a year early. The kittens that most SEC coaches were hoping to beat quickly turned into vicious Wildcats. Tucky overwhelmed Georgia 108 to 55 in the highest scoring game of the season in the SEC. The men of. the Plains, who have won 25 straight, visit the Wildcat's den in Lexington on Feb. 21 in a game which may decide the SEC title. Coach Joel Eaves, the man behind the men, "thinks that Kentucky has more speed than any Cat team in the last three years." When Auburn invades Kentucky, the Wildcats will remember last year in Birmingham, when the national champions were edged by one point, they can't forget the Vandy game this year, but Auburn won't forget who the winningest team in the nation is, and three years ago in State Coliseum and a boy by the name of "Brownie" Nelson.

The top ten were Kentucky, North Carolina State, Michigan State, Bradley, Saint Louis and West Virginia.

Mrs. Castello's topic will be "The Place of the F r a t e r n i t y Syst em on Campus." The home, family and professional background of Evelyn Adams Costello is constantly reflected in the interests she pursues in her work with Delta Zeta Sorority. Being the daughter of a widely-known Universalist minister, she has always had before her the concern for the welfare of others. After her graduation from Lombard College, Ga-lesburg, 111., she won a graduate scholarship to the University of Illinois. Following college she became a social worker, first as a children's case worker and later as a psychiatric social worker in the criminal court of the City of Detroit. Mrs. Castello's career as a leader in Delta Zeta began in 1939 when she became the president of the Detroit alumnae chapter. From this office she progressed to the position of province director. In 1942 she was elected to the national council of Delta Zeta as secretary and in. 1950 be-, came national extension vice president. Being always interested in panhellenic matters, in 1952 she became Delta Zeta's panhellenic representative to the National Panhellenic Conference. As national president of Delta Zeta from 1954 to 1958 she continued her interest in Panhellenic and was re-elected to the National Panhellenic Conference, at the close of her term as president of Delta Zeta. In addition to her home life, which is composed of a neurolo- ALL STRAY GREEKS Sorority members who do not have a chapter on this campus and would like to attend the Panhellenic Banquet, Feb. 6 at 5:30, Union Ballroom, are requested to contact Miss Deloney at Social Center. gist husband and student son—a member of Phi Kappa Phi—Mrs. Costello is interested in music and is currently a church organist; in amateur dramatics, in which she has been an active participant; in community affairs and in the field of education particularly. She has served as president of the Women's Auxiliary to the Wayne County Medical Society and as national chairman of the legislative committee of the Women's Auxiliary to the American Academy of Neurology. At the Delta Zeta national convention in June of 1958, Mrs. Costello was presented with a commission as a Kentucky Colonel, one of the few women in the country outside of Kentucky to be so honored. Blue Key Releases Ticket Sale Prices For Kingston Trio Ticket prices for the Kingston Trio Concert have been set at 2.50 per couple, and 1.75 per stag according to Paul Adamson, Blue Key vice-president. The concert, jointly sponsored by Blue Key and ODK, will be an event of March 5, and will be staged in the Student Activities Building at 8:30 p.m. Adamson urged that tickets be purchased early due to the limited seating capacity of the Student Activities Building. T he building will accommodate only 1,800 for this concert. Tickets will go on sale on Feb. 10, and may be obtained from ODK and Blue Key members. It is hoped that tickets will also be sold in advance through fraternities and-business establishments in town. Spring Show Script Nears Completion; Dancers Wanted This year's Spring Show will be a comedy written by Don Leithauser about Boston during the roaring Twenties, and will include nine songs and three production numbers. The try-outs held on Jan. 26, were considered to be very successful, and the show is completely cast except for a few male dancers. Dancing parts are easy to learn and if there are any men interested in participating in the show, they should contact Mary Lynn McCree in Dorm II. This year's Spring Show committee, which finances the production, is headed by Harriet Jenkins. Members of the cast are: Tom Stull, Sally McCord, Ship Hendrick, Martha Wilks, Don Thieme, Judy Kirby, Max Stew-erd, Bill Owen, Carol Bedsole, Betty Lou Shelton, Joyce Hemphill, and Helen Curlee. Begins Tomorrow At Union Building The annual Blood Drive will be .Held tomorrow in the Student Union Building beginning at 8:00. A mobile Red Cross blood unit will be receiving donations all day and students may obtain a two hour Dean's excuse from classes when they give their donation. This, of course, includes an excuse from drill for men donating at that time. Bobo Starke, chairman of campus drives, continues to stress that full cooperation is needed from every member of the student body if the 800-pint goal is to be reached. Says Starke, "It doesn't hurt a bit!" The donation of blood by a student entitles the student's family to free blood for a year. Everyone is urged to support this worthwhile drive. WSGA Officers To Be Elected On February 16 Election of WSGA officers will be held on Thursday, Feb. 26.

For each penny contributed toward a Plainsman Misses On BSU Center In a recent issue of The Plainsman there appeared a story about the construction of a new BSU student center in Auburn. The statement was made that the "Executive board of the Southern Baptist Convention appropriated $200,000 for the purpose." It should have said that the board approved the appropriation as it does not have authority to appropriate money. The Plainsman staff regrets any misunderstanding that this mistake may have caused. candidate, he will get one vote. The candidate with the largest number of pennies will win the contest. ;r«Two trophies will be • awarded to the sorority sponsoring the ugly man of the year at the Eagles Nest to be held Feb. 20. One of the trophies will be a permanent possession of the sorority and the other will rotate annually until one sorority has won the contest for three years, not necessarily in succession. In the past, Alpha Phi Omega has used proceeds from the UMOC contest to buy a hi-fi set for the music room in the Union, to contribute the trophy case in the Union, and to contribute benches around the campus. Price Williams and Jack Goodman, chairmen of UMOC this year, urge all students to get out and back the ugly man of their choice. "It is hoped that this will be the biggest and best UMOC contest t h a t Auburn has ever had," Williams stated.

ATTENTION MARCH GRADUATES Measurements are being taken for caps and gowns at the College Book Store (Union Building) this week. All graduating seniors who have not been measured should go to the College Book Store as soon as possible. Dean Pumphrey Announces Credit Cut In ROTC Dean Fred H. Pumphrey announced today the approval of the plan to reduce the credit toward graduation allotted to advanced ROTC from 18 hours to six hours. This cut will be effective beginning Fall quarter 1959, and will not be retroactive, i.e., not affect students already enrolled in Advanced Military. The proposed cut has been under advisement for some time. It was made specifically to meet the recommendations of the Engineering Council for Professional Development, the body which is responsible for the accreditation of engineering curricula, throughout the country. The cut was made in order to make room for more general electives in various humanities courses for students in the School of Engineering. The lack of these courses was one reason that the departments of mechanical and electrical engineering lost their accreditation last Spring. The effect on a student entering advanced ROTC is briefly this. The student will have 12 credit hours added to his graduation requirement, raising it from 240 hours to 252. Unless he can make high enough grades to take these hours up in overloads he will have to come to school an extra quarter. Thirteen quarters is not unusual in the School of Engineering. This change was made in concurrence with all throe military departments. When a Plainsman r e p o r t e r contacted the various military department to get their opinion on the credit change, he was confronted with a reserved attitude. Colonel John Lockett, PMS&T said that the credit change was, "A little disturbing and unfortunate, but I will do my best as a member of the faculty to cooperate." When asked how the credit change would affect the enroll- (See ROTC Cut, Page 5) // II 1959 Greek Festivities Follow Theme: The Fraternity System, A Way Of Life By Carline Stephens The many and varied events of Auburn's Greek Week reached the halfway mark last night with-the joint IFC-Pan- Hellenic Banquet. Speaker for the banquet was Dr. Charles Thompson, "The F r a t e r n i t y System, A Way of Life," is the theme which is being pursued during this, the 1959 Greek Week. Sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, Greek Week is now well into its third day of activity. Greek Week was begun with a Panhellenic reception held Sunday at Social Center. Since then panel discussions have been held by Panhellenic for Rush chairman, chapter editors, activities chairmen, and pledges. At the Greek Week Banquet held last night in the Union Building the members of sororities and fraternities and other guests were privileged to hear Dr. Charles M. Thompson, a noted author, lecturer and economist. Dr. Thompson is dean emeritus at the College of Commerce and Business Administration, University of Illinois.

On Sunday, Feb. 15, the Union Ballroom will be open so that the groups participating may rehearse on the stage. The skits will not be judged prior to the actual performance. Out of town judges will view the skits and award points for the following classifications: originality, continuity, presentation, and timeliness. A seven minute time limit will be imposed on the fraternities and a ten minute limit on the sororities. The women's groups have been given extra minutes due to the spectacular performances given in the past. Tickets may be purchased from any Blue Key or Mortar Board member or at the door for $.50 per person. The sororities will entertain the independent girls this afternoon in their respective chapter rooms with a tea. At 8:00 tonight there will be three panel discussions; one for sorority presidents, one for philanthropy and service and the other for chapter advisors. The annual Greek Week Blood Drive will be conducted tomorrow at the Union Building. More panels are planned for tomorrow.

Lab Tech Students Form New Group One of Auburn's newest organizations on campus, the "Arm and Finger Stickers of Ross Lab^ oratory" (otherwise known as laboratory technology students), is well on its way to being a firmly established group. The idea for the' club was conceived last spring after a visit from the pathologist and two technicians from St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham. Last fall quarter the group held an organizational meeting and elected officers. A constitution was drawn up and approved, and a tentative program for the year set up. Some of the past programs have included talks by technologists and students from several hospitals in the Birmingham area. The next meeting, to be held Jan. 26, at 7:00, will consist of a movie of interest to all lab techs. On Feb. 9, Dr. Casey from the Baptist Hospital, Birmingham, being made for the club, among them being a field trip in Feb,, to visit several hospitals and their laboratories. Although this new club consists of lab technology students, anyone else with an interest in this field is invited to attend the meetings, held t h e second and fourth Monday of. each month.

Katherine Ann Porter Reviews Fiction Writing By JEAN HILL I n a lecture highlighted by personal comments to the audience, Miss K a t h e r i n e Anne P o r t e r gave an e x t r e m e l y int e r e s t i n g discussion last week on "What Is Fiction?" The att r a c t i v e and vivacious Miss Porter has achieved a high rank among 20th century writers on a relatively small volume of work. A native Texan, she was educated in small southern convent schools and has since spent long periods in Mexico. Much of her work has a Mexican setting, as was illustrated by the two short stories Miss Porter read Tuesday night. The first piece read by Miss Porter w a s "That Tree" taken from Flowering Judas. The setting of this short story was the time of a revolution and depicted the life of a literary "bum" in Mexico. To show the difference between fiction and non-fiction, Miss Porter read an autb-biographical story which was published in Mademoiselle under the title "Adventure In Living." Marked by their intense drama and psy- 13 Angel Flight Coeds Lead AF By TIM BATTLE Plainsman Features Editor In today's ever-cnanging jargon, there are many words such as "chick, dish or queen," which refer to a girl meritous of admiration from the opposite sex. But here at Auburn, these slang expressions have been refined to but one word . . . "angel," a word which is directly applied to a chic group of Air Force ROTC sponsors. Their name . . . "Angel Flight." With the objective of raising the Espirit de Corps of "brave defenders of the drill fields" on various campuses throughout the country, Angel Flight was originated as an auxiliary of Arnold Air Society immediately following World War II. Maintaining their objective with a strong tail-wind, the "Flight" has since es- On Campus with MaxShuIman {By the Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!" and, "Barefoot Boy with Cheek.") POVERTY CAN BE FUN It is no disgrace to b'e poor. It is an error, but it is no disgrace. So if your purse is empty, do not skulk and brood and hide your head in shame. Stand tall. Admit your poverty. Admit it freely and frankly and all kinds of good things will happen to you. Take, for instance, the case of Blossom Sigafoos. Blossom, an impecunious fresMnmn at an Eastern girls' college, was smart as a whip and round as a dumpling, and scarcely a day went by when she didn't get invited to a party weekend at one of the nearby men's schools. But Blossom never accepted. She did not have the rail fare; she did not have the clothes. Weekend after weekend, while her classmates went frolicking, Blossom sat alone, saved from utter despair only by her pack of Marlboros, for even an exchequer as slim as Blossom's can afford the joys of Marlboro—joys far beyond their paltry price: rich, mellow tobaccos, lovingly cured and carefully packed; a new improved filter that works like a charm. Croesus himself could not buy a better cigarette! However, Marlboro's most passionate admirers—among whose number I am paid to count myself—would not claim that Marlboro can entirely replace love and romance, and Bios* som grew steadily moroser. tablished 26 bases nationally; their touchdown on the API campus being in 1956. Only a few years old, Auburn's Angel Flight has matured into a highly respected group on campus. Besides acting as hostesses at previous Village Fairs and at teas held for visiting dignitaries, the Flight has another function, that of marching with the AFROTC units onrparade and aiding in generally brightening up the drill field at inspection time. Although the methods of selecting co-eds for Angel Flight varies from campus to campus, Auburn has perhaps the most democratic and efficient procedure. Serving during the remainder of their college career, the "Angels" are first nominated by any basic or advanced AFROTC cadet whenever a vacancy occurs. Then, much to the basic's dismay, they are interviewed or screened by the advanced cadets of Arnold Air Society. Then, after a careful screening process, t h e candidates are returned to the basic cadets for their "Flight Approval." Elected to represent the entire AFROTC Wing, the three groups, and the nine squadrons, the membership totals thirteen in number. After selection, the co-ed sponsors of the Wing and the three bomber groups are presented at the annual Military Ball. It is at this Ball that a faculty committee carefully surveys 'the sponsors of the three armed forces, and decides who is to be the entire ROTC Corps sponsor for the ensuing year. Last year, a member of Angel Flight and also the Wing Sponsor • held this honor; KATHERINE ANNE PORTER chological penetration, both these stories had as their theme the idea that a man ultimately thanks those who criticize him and, in so doing reveals him to himself. The lecture was enlivened by Miss Porter's running commentary on her stories, her life, and things ' in general. Completely at ease on stage, she stopped several times to ask for an adjustment of lights and microphone; she once turned to a photographer to admonish, "Stop that!" The photographer, Bill Lollar of The Plainsman, beat a hasty retreat. Then aside to the audience she said, "They always catch me with my mouth open." Characterized by a ready wit and a thorough knowledge of her subject, Miss Porter is an excellent speaker as well as writer. When asked when she would be returning to API, Miss Porter r e plied, "When I am invited." From the warm applause she received it would seem that this will be soon. Seven Students Get New Scholarships Scholarships have been awarded seven students for the winter and spring quarters. Four Alcoa scholarships went to Winfrcd W. Yeargan, Selma; Sherman W.

"Blossom," said Tom, "I want you to come down next week for the barley festival, and I won't take no for an answer." ."No," said Blossom. "Foolish girl," said Tom gently. "I know why you refuse me. It is because you are poor, isn't it?" "Yes," said Blossom. "I will send you a railroad ticket," said Tom. "Also a small salami in case you get hungry on the train." "But I have nothing to wear," said Blossom. Tom replied, "I will send you one suit of cashmere, two gowns of lace, three slacks of velvet, four shoes of calf, five socks of nylon, and a partridge in a pear tree." "That is most kind," said Blossom, "hut I fear I cannot dance and enjoy myself while back home my poor lame brother Tiny Tim lies abed." "Send him to Mayo Brothers and put it on my tab," said Tom. "You are terribly decent," said Blossom, "but I cannot come to your party because all the other girls at the party will be from rich, distinguished families, and my father is but a humble woodcutter." "I will buy him Yosemite," said Tom. "You have a great heart," said Blossom. "Hold the phone while I ask our wise and kindly old Dean of Women whether it is proper for me to accept all these gifts." She went forthwith and asked the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Women laid her wise and kindly old hand on Blossom's cheek atid said, "Child, let not false pride rob you of happiness. Accept these gifts from Tom." "Lord love you, Wise and Kindly," breathed Blossom, dropping grateful tears into the Dean's reticule. "I must run and tell Tom." "Yes, run, child," said the Dean, a smile wrinkling her wise and kindly old eyes.

Well-trained doctors and nurses will efficiently extract a pint of the fluid from each student who volunteers as painlessly and impersonally as a photographer takes a picture—and almost as fast. To the professionals their work will be, on the face of it, a job. To the donors it will be a novel break in routine, an excuse from drill, or perhaps, another point for his fraternity which is after the trophy. The people who will eventually receive the blood though, will look upon it as dearly as life itself. It may well be just that. j "-Mfr'mftP Death and the threat of death are states which most of us glibly admit are close at hand wherever we may be. In our mind's eye however, we see it in an entirely different light. It's always the anonymous guy in the next block who's been plagued with bad breaks. A close examination of accident statistics will show us that there's a pretty good chance that the fellow lives a lot closer than he used to. He might even move in and get his host involved. Auburn holds a college record for blood donations, but the fact that our goal this year is only 800 pints is indicative of a low percentage of campus participation. Eight hundred donors from a potential 8,400 is a pretty poor showing, we think. Particularly when the ultimate use of this substance is taken into consideration. Every drop will go to improve the well-being of a fellow human being. We may, in this way, save a life. We may only prolong a life, but as long as any of us believe in tne worth of society it will not have been wasted. Somewhere a person will eventually need the assistance that we can offer tomorrow. It may be an Auburn student. Of what worth will all the conventions of civilization be if we can help, and don't. ^ U T H E M A M f C A W P U S ^ Fellows, Listen Here A New Colesium ? Now that Auburn's basketball squad has reached national prominence, demand for a suitable place to play has become an everyday conversation piece. Only one answer can be offered to the often-repeated question of "Why don't we build a n ew coliseum?" I t ' s v e r y obvious— Auburn simply doesn't have t h e money. Cost of such a s t r u c t u r e , seating capacity of 8,500 would be desirable to fill t h e needs of the school, athletic department, and community, would be minimized at $1,- 725,000. The only methods of financing such a gigantic undertaking, as seen by the Athletic Department, are legislative appropriation, alumni contribution, and bond sale secured by increases in student activity fees. ' Although a bill authorizing construction of an Auburn coliseum is c u r r e n t l y on the legislature's calendar, it will reportedly fail to gain approval. Too many other matt e r s r a t e p r i o r i t y now, in t h e views of Alabama's solons. They seem to m a i n t a i n that t h e State Coliseum in Montgomery sufficiently serves the area. Current alumni support will be v i r t u a l ly unavailable. Their aid in Auburn's quest toward engineering reaccreditation has been generous. L i t t l e more can be asked or expected from this group. If our need is to be secured w i t h i n the near future, its financing method w i l l probably be through bond issues. But before such instruments of credit may be sold, income for payments must be solidly fixed for the future. The Athletic Depart-men states t h a t y e a r l y t o t a l s of $40,000, expected profits from schedules of t e n home court games, would be earmarked toward bond amortization. Since such an edifice would be used by the i n s t i t u t i o n proper for physical education purposes, graduation, dramatic programs, registration, and celebrity presentations, A P I ' s fair share of payment would be added. But the fact cannot be disguised that Auburn's students would secure t h e maximum enjoyment from a new arena. To effect its construction, p a r t of the burden would rightfully fall on them. The Union Building was made possible through student pledges to p a y higher activity fees. A similar action might someday bring Aub u r n her long-awaited coliseum. There is no question of h ow acute the school's need for a multi-purpose field-house has become. The crowded situation in physical education dressing rooms and t h e packed-to-the-rafters Sports Arena on game nights have testified to that effect. P e r h a p s one of t h e t h r e e possible methods can prove suitable.—PHILLIPS. By What Right? . We think the Board of Social Life's latest decision, to prohibit winter house parties, is rather presumptious. Touching only^ lightly on the wholesome vs. unwholesome social aspects of the case, the Board has ruled on the grounds that some roads would be too dangerous for winter travel. These roads, according to our sources of information, are located in the mountain-eous areas of northern Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. While this paternalistic concern for the safety of Auburn's students is commendable, we cannot condone its application here.

To our knowledge there is no agency in this school which has the right to dictate freedom of choice to the degree that is shown in this case. . We are sure that the Board members weighed the pros and cons of the issue as conscientiously as possible. Yet, the results, from our standpoint, seem to have been arrived at in a haphazard manner from an illogical direction. It is not up to the Board of Social Life to protect the life and limb of Auburn students. And attempt to do so is a miscon-strual of its function and an implied insult to the intelligence of the students for whom the measure is designed. We don't deny that of the 8,400 men and women here there is likely to be a few so mentally deficient that they are a menace to their own safety. But give the rest of us, the other ninty-nine per cent of us, credit for having enough sense to come in out of the snow—or off a hazardous highway. Wide newspaper coverage was given to the s n o w - b o u n d house party from G e o r g i a Tech last year, and this apparently influenced the recent ruling here. In our opinion, the idea that the publicity resulting from that incident was of an injurious nature is grossly exaggerated. It was reported in every newspaper that we read as a humerous, human interest story. Had the school not forbidden its coeds to go on house parties, none but the narrowest of minds would have seen it differently. Even if we were able to go along with the philosophy of the ruling, i.e., that students are incapable of judging hazardous road conditions, we find tremendous gaps in the logic of the ruling. There is little ice, less snow, and the highways of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana are generally excellent. Yet all of these areas are made as inaccessable for house parties as the North Pole. The excuse: the Board did not want to give the appearance of dictating where and where not the functions could be held. We are equally sure that the members placed themselves in the roles of benevolent despots reluctantly. We hope that when it is pointed out that their benevolence could easily and with some justification be interpreted as arrogance, they will reconsider. oy, you should have seen her clobber that guy yesterday* A COLUMNIST'S VIEW Something For Nothing... Ha! A few months ago I joined the Columbia Record Club at the request of my room mate, a member. For joining, I would receive a total of three free records. "What a deal!" I thought at the time. Only six weeks later, that supposed bargain was revealed as an illusion. Each individual is entitled to his o w n opinion. There are those who b e l i e ve that this club is t h e h o t t e st thing to hit the mail since subscriptions to Playboy w e re introduced. But to the Auburn Phillips students who are now considering joining this organization and for those who may ponder membership in the future, these words of advice are presented. To sum it all up briefly, it is my opinion that Columbia's top records aren't being offered to club members. With an occasional outstanding album supplied, I suppose for variety's sake, the majority of monthly selections are discs which haven't sold successfully on the national market. Actually, the group of free records from which to choose when you first become a member is the most outstanding selection you'll see. BY JIM PHILLIPS After you choose your three free platters, requirements state that you must buy four items from an inferior set of listings offered during the forthcoming year. The company attempts to sustain the interest of the more unaware member through a lasting promise to supply him with an additional free record when a new constituent is brought into t he club. Naturally, there is a separate group of recordings available for this purpose. Looking over a bonus list recently, I spotted at least four albums which I could have secured at home a month ago for $1.98 during store clearances. These records have been valued at $3.98 or more in various club'brochures. And if you think you'd really like to purchase any of. the recordings listed in the club catalogs at $3.98 and $4.98 plus mailing charges, l o o k around local marts. From time to time^sa^e^ are run in such concerns. £he$pr. same records can often be pb-tained at sizeable reduction. My economics teacher recently told our class that a basic business assumption is people's tendency to consume rationally. If you want to adhere to that trend, there is an ancient a n d wise adage which will help steer you in the right way. "You can't get something for nothing!" LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express gratitude to Lonnie L. Clayton for his letter to the Editor in reply to Carlisle Towery's column of January 14. I feel that I can speak in behalf of all who see the need for a liberal education in all curricula in saying that Mr. Clayton has done more to further that end than all the volumes Mr. Towery could compose on that subject in two lifetimes, and he has given more evidence of its necessity than ten years of surveys and research could have done. I am not at all uncertain that Mr. Clayton is not a liberal arts spy in the engineer's quarters. The subtle propaganda device of denouncing Towery as an unlearned tool of the administration was a stroke of pure genius and must certainly have elevated his position in the engineering's resistance movement to precarious heights. The intellectual analysis that he, in the guise of an engineer, gave of Towery's column, must have convinced even t he most hardened anti-intellectualist that their position was not an enviable one. The slurred rationalism, the childish retaliatory remarks, the completely omitted acknowledgement of the Chance- Vought Aircraft advertisement on page three, all were superbly blended to arouse even the freshman engineers to question t he validity of their stand against in-tellectualism. It is good to know that we have an underground movement, staffed by capable men who will risk their own intellect to venture into the enemy's home ground and so stealthily undermine his firm foundation with such brilliant and subtle propaganda. I suggest an award for Mr. Clayton—a large volume of literature's better products and a forthcoming volume entitled "How to Comprehend Written English." W. H. Byrd • * * Dear Editor: I would like to make several comments about registration. It seems that registration is the most hated part of school for many of us. One of the reasons is that it seems to need a little more organization. There are several times and places where there are long lines. If there could be several people taking care of these long lines it might make them go a little faster and would make it easier on those of us who are waiting in them. There are many students at Auburn who get special privileges in registration and some of them deserve these special privileges. But why shouldn't the special privileges of registration be extended to students who do outstanding work scholastically? Don't the people who make the Dean's list deserve a few such honors? I think the students who make the Dean's List should be allowed to register before the rest of their class. They could be allowed to register. about an hour before the rest of the class starts, even if they could not pre-regis-ter. This would be a little reward for doing good work and would encourage them to keep it up. It would also, help other students to strive more to make better grades. I would like to see Auburn always improving in every way. Sincerely, Jack Hanum In recent issues of the Plainsman, the male columnists have been sending women back to their "places" in prose. In answer, the following poetical discription of the Auburn man is presented. Any exceptions are invited to respond! Rarely individual when placed in a mass, But never typed or put in a class. Unto himself a king is he, With reason or no, as the case may be. The Auburn man with Ivy vest, A boon to the world; to women a test. Eyes shining, hands steady Unless he's been to Archie's already! Freshman fuzz or bristled cheek, Say! have you shaved this week? H o m e l y , handsome, beggars, kings, His own praises each one sings. The Auburn man has quite a line, Until he finds himself entwined. Then a pinning or a ringing And over the lake he'll soon be swinging. Until the coed finds someone new, At three to one that's easy to BY BEFKE DeRING do! Girls gain charm at finishing school, But Auburn lads can all play pool! Adept they are at poker and gin, To attend i concert would be a sin. A different side now appears, Without old quizzes, failure he fears. An occasional cut means no harm, Too many FA's—back to the barn. Leaving Auburn as they came: Pickled body—Sterile brain. STUDENT GUIDANCE CENTER A Pathway To Success Should I be a lawyer, engineer, doctor, or what? This is the typical question that a majority of future college students must answer. As high school graduation approaches, along with the realization that time is getting short, the problem assumes even larger proportions. Thus the decisions in many cases are too hurried, resulting in wasted time, money, and effort. The troubles caused by this question, unfortunately, are not always alleviated by the purchase of a rat cap and the issuance of a class card. The problem follows many students through their freshman, and even sophomore years at API. This worry and anxiety is, to some extent, unnecessary. Within limits, most students have some idea of where their interests lie. The problem is to find that exact point on the scale. The Student Guidance Service, harper located in the basement of Lang-don Hall, has as its main objective the counseling and guidance of students, many of whom are not exactly satisfied in their present curriculum. They administer various types of tests f r o m a selection of over 100. The tests compare the student's interest and abilities to those of successful people in various professional fields, such as business, medicine, law, etc. Through the results of these quizzes and counseling, the student is m a d e aware of his strengths, weaknesses, and interests, therefore enabling him to make a wiser choice as to his major subject. One point must be remembered, however. Aptitude tests are not panaceas, nor are they infallible. They may be interpreted in many ways and, coupled with the proper counseling, can show where your chief interests seem to be. The Student Guidance Service is headed by Dr. H. F. Vallery and has four counsellors on the staff. It recently gained recognition from the American Board on Professional Standards in Vocational ounseling, making it the only accredited guidance service in Ala- BY BOBBY HARPER bama. A very up-to-date and complete library is maintained by the Service with books and pamphlets available on all occupations. Information on various job opportunities, other schools, scholarships, and subjects of interest to students may be found in the Library. Like other departments at Au-jurn, the Guidance Center has a jemendous work load f o r the OTiall staff. A total of 3400 persons were interviewed last year, ind 2224 tests were given, excluding the mandatory placement tests. Out of one quarter's graduating class last year, it was found that' 40 per cent had changed their major at least once while at Auburn. An undetermined number had switched schools more often. If these people had visited the Guidance Center earlier, a great deal of hardship could have been avoided. * Very little time is required to take a series of tests. Many students who find their interest lag- , ging in their present courses would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity afforded them. Now is the time. ANOTHER ANSWER Females Demand Versatile Engineers! tic The purpose of the following •words is to answer as best I can the question of why engineers need a more liberal education. First of all, I am a girl; I know very little about an engineer's curriculum; I am definitely unqualified to state any opinion- on the Auburn engineering department, a nd I've never even appraised or considered the courses the average boy needs to g r a d u a te w i t h a degree > > in engineering. Teller But, nevertheless, I have appraised and considered the average engineer, and I feel fully qualified in explaining my reasons for believing in a "liberal" education for these math and science men. Men, have you ever dated a girl who had absolutely nothing to say? Or better still, have you ever dated a girl who tried to tell you about the latest recipes nax'oiS nn for roast beef the most modern shoes, or the future for pastel lingerie? If so, were you bored? Think back, and consider what you had to add to these most enlightening conversations. Did you try to tell her about the latest in high compressioned rockets to the moon, the most scientific way to measure an oil well, or the future for the aeronautical engineer on the planet Mars, or could you get a word in edgewise? Was this battle the extent of your date? If so, even though I hate to deflate your big head, she was just as bored as you, and it is a good thing that you didn't call again because no doubt you would have been refused, (politely). I would not like' to spend an evening talking about the most complex subject one can think of; nor would I like to spend an evening hearing about the achievements of my brilliant date, but I am impressed if my date can converse on subjects other than, the forever interesting cars, football, basketball and other BY LINDA TELLER general topics we all hear about' every day. You could be another Rock Hudson with a smile like Paul Newman's, and still these trite subjects would get stale. Furthermore, one of these days most of you will be caught, and marriage does, in a sense, hold the same problems as a date. A woman wants a man that she can be proud of in any place and under any circumstances. She wants to brag about not only his ability as an engineer, but also his business ability, and his intellectual ability. It is very true that the consumer who buys the company's product is not concerned with whether the managers of the plant read Homer or not, but do consider the ladies who have to associate with the managers; they care. You, the engineer, for yourself and everyone with whom you associate please take a little advice . . . read and study some philosophy, psychology and history. I guarantee that you will enjoy life much more, and what is more, others will enjoy you. A COLUMN Sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, two recent articles of creditable magazines point to the kind of thing (which has not been held up as novel) currently asserted by this column. "The Place and Price of Excellence," by Colombia's Jacques Barzun is a very meaty and provocative distillation in the February issue of Vogue. And this month's Esquire devotes capsule and captioned opinions of several New England prominents in answer to "What Worries You Most About America Today?" The two articles are commended to you and to literate engineers. Both articles, in a more public way, knock at the foundations of our educational system, particularly at o u r philosophies. Both are critical with an inseparable sincerity, as unsatisfied parties Towery are obliged to be. Both, like this column, intend to render their readers aware, not to "expose" them at all. Where these articles have sought More Proof to criticize the quarry, if you will, this column has picked only at one of the larger rocks—specialization. Professor Barbun deplores today's educational mode which assigns high value to the applied and the vocational, and in a lesser way, to health, citizenship and a host of. others, but which renders intellect an unheard-of element. And Harvard President Nathan Pusey, like Barzun, is concerned with the mitigated "intellectual component" of our national life— the lack of realization of the real need for "creative capacities." Among the array of thinkers in the Esquire is an engineer who tells us that "We've got to stop worrying and get real busy and work," and, happily, an architect who feels that "We have lost the aesthetic side of life . . . " A physicist worries about the lack of respect for intellectual work and for intellectual integrity. A history and language professor points to the neglected intrigue, suspense and thrill—in short, sleuthing— which scholarship offers. An American Historian is convinced that our education is due for an overhaul. All in all, these are in substance the sympathies of this col- BY CARLISLE TOWERY umn; especially, the opinion that the engineer and his institution can not realize their inadequacies if they are not curious in an intellectual, a general, direction. They can not see their predicaments, fostered by each other if the end of their noses is the extent of their view. Complacency, it would seem, is. the first hurdle. Sir Gallahad jumped off his horse and ran into the inn. "I have a message for the King," he told the innkeeper. "My mount is tired and can you lend me a horse?" "I have no horse," replied the man, but he pointed to a huge dog, "This is the only animal I possess." "Very well—I'll take him." "Oh Sir," cried in the innkeeper, "I wouldn't send a knight out on a dog like this." * * * Judge: You admit that you drove over this man with a loaded truck.

Typical Dear Typical, I've been around the world nine times by motorboat and camel back and that's the saddest story I've ever heard. Be collegiate. Wait until the last minute to break any dates. That's the way things are done around here! Dear Modine, I'm very embarrassed. Every home basketball game, as I enter the gym and walk down the sidelines in search of a seat, the boys all whistle at me. I am cross-eyed, have buck teeth and stringy hair, so I see no reason why they should whistle, at little ole me. Yours truly, 39-23-36 5—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, F e b r u a r y 4, 1959 DR. C. B.

A Campus-to-Career Case History i Bill Burns (far right) reviews a plan for expanding Syracuse's toll-free calling area with some fellow supervisors. He wanted more than 'just an engineering job" William G. Burns majored in Civil Engineering at Union College. But he had his own ideas about his engineering future. "I wanted a job with a 'growth' company," he says, "where I could develop and move ahead as a member of management." Bill found his 'growth' company—and his management opportunity. On graduating in June, 1954, he started work with the New York Telephone Company. Six months of training and job assignments in Albany familiarized him with the Plant, Commercial, Accounting and Traffic functions of the telephone busi- Iness. Then came 13 months as engineer iin the Long Range Planning Group. In October, 1956, he was promoted to Supervising Engineer. Bill was transferred to Syracuse in August, 1953, as Supervising Engineer- Fundamental Plans, with a staff of four engineers and two clerks. In this job, he studies and forecasts the future telephone needs of customers in a 4800- square-mile area, planning from three to 20 years ahead. He then co-ordinates the development of plans to meet future needs with the various engineering groups involved. Bill calls it "management engineering." Bill is married, has three youngsters and owns his own home. "A man has to build his own security," he says, "and finding the right place to do it can be mighty important. Choosing a Bell Telephone career was the best decision I ever made. I don't know where an ambitious young fellow can find more or better chances to move ahead in management." Many young men, with degrees in the sciences, arts, engineering or business, are finding interesting and reward* ing careers with the Bell Telephone Companies. Look into career opportunities for you.

Tradition Plays Large Part In Spirit Lathe, Pajama Parade, Rat Hats Are Traditional Signs Of Loyalty By LANCE HEARN "Once an Auburn man always an Auburn man." Trite though it may sound, this continues to be a mark of distinction for this institution. Wherever you go, practically everyone has heard of. Auburn. The reasons for this fame is due in part to the customs and traditions, though few as those found in the average college of comparable size, which have been nurtured through the years and passed on from student to student. Much has been said and written about Auburn's indomitable spirit. It has become a far-flung brotherhood embracing all men who have called Auburn their home. Architecture Dean At NX. State Will Give Lecture Here Henry L. Kamphoefner, dean of the School of Design, North Carolina State College, will be a campus visitor this week. Charles M. Kelley, head of the department of architecture announced that Dean Kamphoefner will speak in Biggin Hall, Room 91, Thursday afternoon on the subject "The New Architecture of North Carolina." The lecture will be illustrated with color slides, and students, faculty and public are invited to attend. Dean Kamphoefner came to North Carolina State in 1948 from the University of Oklahoma. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois and Columbia University. He has traveled in France, Germany, England, Holland, Belgium and Mexico, and has been visiting professor and lecturer at University of Minnesota, Sweet Briar College, Hol-lins College, and Miami University. He is co-author of two books on architecture and city planning and has written many articles on these professional subjects. Dean Kamphoefner has engaged in the practice of architecture in Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, and r e ceived special recognition for the Grandview Music Pavilion, Sioux City, Iowa. Under the leadership of Kamphoefner, the North Carolina State School of Design has developed nationally recognized programs' in architecture, landscape architecture and industrial design. Dean Kamphoefner addressed the Arts Festival banquet in Birmingham on Feb. 4 before visiting Auburn. Perhaps the richest of all traditions and heritages, API's spirit serves as the foundation for the school's individuality. No one knows exactly what causes this surge of spirit. The most outward manifestation of the spiritual alliance is the renowned battle cry, "War Eagle." Tales of the origin of this tradition are varied, but the compelling words will be heard wherever Auburn men gather. On the other hand, some claim that the spirit at Auburn is due to the air of. friendliness which pervades the campus. A formal introduction is unnecessary; everybody speaks to everybody. One of the most talked about traditions is that of the Lathe. Located next to Samford Hall, the huge machine was used to manufacture arms for the Confederacy during the War Between the States, and was later retired to its present location. It has become a distinct landmark on campus. A custom which applies to all incoming freshmen centers around the Main Gate. Since the day it was constructed, no freshman has legally trespassed its width. In order to accommodate Auburn's "yearlings," asphalt sidewalks have been constructed on either side. A dirty look and perhaps a directed paddle awaits the first-year man who disregards this custom. One of the big days of the fall quarter is Homecoming. Sponsored by Blue Key, national service honorary, the celebration recalls alumni for nostalgic reunions. Fraternities and sororities decorate for the weekend. A special dance is held and a Homecoming Queen is chosen to reign at the football game. All freshmen, sleepy or otherwise, are required - to don their most colorful sleeping apparel for participation in the "Wreck Tech" Pajama Parade, which is held every year in conjunction with the pep rally preceding the Au-burn- Ga. Tech football classic. Freshmen carry banners, shout encouragement to the Tigers, and predict impending doom for the Yellow Jackets. These are a few of the customs and traditions which make ol' "War Eagle Tech" a good place to come to. There are many more . . . the ODK-Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race where the winning sprinter gets a kiss from Miss Auburn, the proud wearing of the Orange and Blue, the "War Eagle Express" each year to Tech, and others too numerous to mention. But regardless of their numbers, these traditions are of great benefit to the school in that they add an individuality, a personality to the loveliest Village. "And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it."

A SMOKING MAN'S TASTE I i SPOTLIGHT ON SPORTS By RONNIE McCULLARS . . . Sports Editor While Auburn's undefeated basketball team continues to march over the Southeastern Conference with little effort, Casey Stengel continues to hold high hopes of Mickey Mantle and a few other well known bat swingers to give in and accept the reduction in salary—which they probably won't take—and the great southern metropolis of Atlanta's police force, who are usually accustomed to apprehending criminals, continue to burglarize that city's inhabitants; the coaching staff and football team are making last minute preparations before donning pads on Monday for the . first day of a tentatively cool Spring Training. The footballers, who have been outdone in the win column by the capable basketball team, have somewhat of a sizable task set before them. Come September they must find a few replacements for such "football scholars" as Jerry Wilson, Lloyd Nix, Mike Simmons, Tommy Lorino, Frank LaRussa, and Cleve Wester. All of them contributed greatly to the Auburn cause and its string of 24 games undefeated. But finding someone to f i l l the shoes of All-American Wilson and SEC offense leader Nix will be a major problem for the Tiger coaching staff. As most Auburn folks know, when someone moves out in Plainsman sports there stands two guys battling it out to move into the vacated position. There is nothing unprecedented about an unkno'wn Tiger athlete making headlines on his first appearance before his home folks. And the 1959 edition of the Auburn football team possesses all the attributes of keeping in that same tradition. The graduates will be missed, but by the time Kentucky gets to the Plains there will be so many names to fill in their stead they will almost be forgotten. Wilson and Simmons made us forget about the outstanding play of All-America Jimmy Phillips. And out there Monday to begin laying plans for the removal from our minds the exhibitions of Wilson and Simmons will be three potential greats at the Auburn end position. Joe Leightman, a junior, Leo Sexton and Bobby Wasden, both seniors, who'll not be in pads until the A-Day game at the end of spring practice. These three probably possess more offensive ability than any returning ends coaches Gene Lorendo and Joel Eaves have seen in just as many years. They may be a little smaller, but they will get the job done and then drag in that home-run pass when the chips are down. Move into the line to the tackle spot and you find the most up and coming young lineman in the conference, Leon Myers— he got to see plenty of action last season as a sophomore and he proved then that he is every bit of a leading SEC lineman. Then there is the returner who started at tackle in '58, Teddy Foret. He's big and tough and by September he'll be the polished All-Conference candidate. Then will come the parade of red-shirts itching for SEC play in September. Zeke Smith and Jackie Burkett—what more could you hope for at the guard and center positions. Both big strong and fast All-Americans and most of all, both returning. Auburn's backfield will be star studded again as it has been in the past. Nix and Lorino are gone.'but look at all of them that are back. Working at quarterback will be two of the best in the nation— Bryant Harvard and Richard Wood.'... Harvard is the cool signal caller who sat out last year^MiljjrjJijriarch because of a broken leg. Wood is the lanky guy^njeirtedNinto the* Maryland game to see what he could do in a game*for the first time, and he proved himself a superior quarterback. He hasn't sat one out in a long time and it will be a long time before he sits out another. At halfbacks will be the best in the book, Lamar Rawson, Jimmy Pettus and Bobby Lauder. Coach Eaves has his six starters in basketball but Coach Bradberry has three great backs in this bunch. Any one of them could make everybody's A l l - Something list. There is no better way to start a spring training than to have the three best halfbacks in the conference. The fullback position is the same way, with Jimmy Reynolds, Ronnie Robbs, and Ed Dyas being the greats here. I HAVE GONE down the list of Tigers who proved themselves last season, but that isn't why you have spring drills. The main reason for a practice in the spring is to look at the guys who are coming up or the ones who haven't played as yet. Sine* this was just a preview of the so called old timers, by this time next week there may be an entirely new list of outstanding footballers. There is one thing for sure the young guys w i l l be adding to that list. 6—THE PLAINSMAN KGDL Wednesday, February 4, 1959 KROSSWORD JACKIE BURKETT LEO SEXTON JIMMY PETTUS BRYANT HARVARD BOBBY LAUDER RONNIE ROBBS Footballers Begin Spring Work Twenty Lettermen Returning For Tigers' Coach Jordan By James Abrams Plainsman Sports Writer Auburn's mighty Tigers, who take to the.football field like ducks take to water, have 20 hard-hitting, back-aching days of spring t r a i n i n g coming up Feb. 9. Next Monday, 70 some-odd footballers are expected to r e p o rt to head coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, with 20 l e t t e r m e n included in the group. "We should have another fine football team," Coach Jordan says. "Each season we have lost some outstanding players but in the past we have had others to step forth . . . the newcomers are the ones we are most anxious to view during spring training." "Our seniors will be in sweat clothes during the workouts but they will play during the A-Day game," Jordan added. "Our main concentration will be on the sophomores." Almost unprecendented in the ranks of college football is the fact that no player on this year's Auburn team has ever played in a losing encounter. The upcoming seniors have a record of 19 victories, no losses and one tie. This year's team has much to live up to as in 1958 the fourth-ranked Tigers set four API records and led the nation in both offense and defense. Ail-Americans Zeke Smith and Jackie Burkett lead the War Eagles back in what, we think, will be another successful . season. Ed Dyas Jimmy Pettus, Joe Leichtman, Ken Rice, and G. W. Clapp, all listed on AP's All-Sophomore team, will be competing for starting lineups. Holder of the nation's longest unbeatten string—24 straight victories—the Tigers will feature 20 returning lettermen. Lettermen reporting will be ends Joe Leichtman, Leo Sex- Vanderbilt Tried, Everybody Tried; But Tigers Roil On By John Wallace Plainsman Sports Writer A rugged Vanderbilt squad fought hard and long Sat-t u r d a y night only to become t h e 25th victim of the nation's winningest basketball t e am by a 64-61 count. Auburn downed Kentucky-killer Vandy on the loser's home court and before 7,000 partisan Nashville fans. The last few minutes almost spelled defeat for the fourth-ranked Tigers as the Commodores wouldn't say die. Three times in the closing minutes the Plainsmen found themselves out in front by only a single point and never by more than four. Rex Frederick, the "giant" of the Auburn team, had one of his best nights, sacking 22 baskets and grabbing off eight rebounds. The 6-5 center dumped in a layup with fourteen minutes remaining to send the Tigers ahead for good at 40- 38. Vandy, with four men 6-4 or better, was surprisingly outre-bounded by the smaller Tigers. Henry Hart, a 6-1 guard, led with nine rebounds followed by Frederick's eight. Vanderbilt hit from the floor 24 times for a 40.7 percentage while Auburn, the SEC leader in this department, connected on 22 attempts for a sub-par 41-3 per cent. Vandy captain, Jim Henry, a hot-shot guard, out for a couple of games with a bad annkle, r e turned to action in good form to share team scoring honors with 6-4 Ben Rowan. Both chipped in 15 points. Behind Frederick came Hart with 13, co-captain Jimmy Lee with nine, and Jimmy Fibbe and David Vaughn with eight each to round out Auburn scoring. Auburn shuffled off to an early lead hitting mainly on crip shots and appealed to be on the way to an easy victory. At halftime the Tigers led 31- 25. But Vanderbilt had been resting and waiting for two weeks during exams and wouldn't give up. They came back again and again scoring on free shots mostly in the last quarter. It was the free throws which almost beat the visitors, although Auburn netted 20 charity tosses to the Commodores' 13. 6-0 in SEC play before last night's Tech match, the Tigers face Georgia and Florida next.

On Friday, Feb. 7, Georgia journeys to Auburn. The following Monday, Feb. 9, Florida treks to the Loveliest Village. Both Georgia and F l o r i da have let their chances for a championship slip t h r o u gh their fingers. These are the type teams to be wary of. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. A win over Auburn would be a shining beacon in an otherwise dismal season. The sophomore crew f r om Athens has good average size and its greenness is being polished off with every ensuing game. John Johnson Gordon Darrah, Don Keiser, Pat Casey, and Fred Edmondson make up this threatening quintet. A little better shooting percentage could put a bite in the toothless Bulldog's attack". Their inefficiency in the field and at the charity line was their prime reason for defeat the last time. Also if they tone down the .rough stuff, they might keep their first team in longer. Their rough tactics, in the last encounter with the Plainsmen, cost them the services of their ace rebounder, Edmundson. Flprida has.had its share of troubles^ this season also. They lost their three- top players and have had difficulty recovering the scoring and rebounding power that these boys provided. Dick Hoban, a speedster who drives well, and 6-i Charles Bike, who may be the Gators' chjef scoring threat, are the men to watch. Other starters will be 6-5 Bob Sherwood, who picked up some experience last year and 6-2 Bob Shiyef and 6-0 Lou Merchant, a pair of sophs. Shiver is reputed to be an excellent rebounder for his size. Reserves include 6r3 Wal- Matmen Drop Emory ter Rabbbn, a veteran, and 6-6 George Jung, 6r2 Frank Ethe-ridge, 5-11 PaulMosory, and 6-2 Jeff Osfcorpe, who have seen action this year. .Coach John Mauer thinks his boys can overcome their lack of heighth with, speed and aggressiveness.

Sports Editor A couple of weeks ago, the nation's number one ranked team ran head-on into a crippled Vanderbilt squad in Nashville, Tenn. The results were that Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats came out on the bad end of a terrific upset. The Vandy squad, whose head coach, Bob Polk is even out for the season, defeated the Wildcats at the free throw line by politely taking advantage of 49 fouls. Mighty Auburn turned the tables last Saturday night, and decisioned Vandy at the same line. The Tigers had 20 charity tosses compared to Vandy's 13. It seems that of late in the SEC, the team who can get the most foul shots and hit them, is the one who wins the close ones. The Vandy team, in conquering the powerful Kentuckians, seems to have embarrassed the pride and prestige of the Bluegrass country. The embarrassment has caused the Wildcats to soundly slaughter Tech, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. While Rupp's men are always playing one game at a time, they seem to be watching Auburn with one eye and their next game with the other. At the beginning of the season, Kentucky was picked to have a usual good team, but not a national champion. Loaded with sophomores and two junior college transfers, plus a tremendous ballplayer in Johnny Cox, the Wildcats have developed a year early. The kittens that most SEC coaches were hoping to beat quickly turned into vicious Wildcats. Tucky overwhelmed Georgia 108 to 55 in the highest scoring game of the season in the SEC. The men of. the Plains, who have won 25 straight, visit the Wildcat's den in Lexington on Feb. 21 in a game which may decide the SEC title. Coach Joel Eaves, the man behind the men, "thinks that Kentucky has more speed than any Cat team in the last three years." When Auburn invades Kentucky, the Wildcats will remember last year in Birmingham, when the national champions were edged by one point, they can't forget the Vandy game this year, but Auburn won't forget who the winningest team in the nation is, and three years ago in State Coliseum and a boy by the name of "Brownie" Nelson.

Tigers Ranked Fourth By AP For the second straight week the Auburn Tigers were placed fourth in the nation by the Associated Press.

The top ten were Kentucky, North Carolina State, Michigan State, Bradley, Saint Louis and West Virginia.
