To Head Auburn
Cheerleader Corps
New faces and the. traditionally
great Auburn spirit represent the
cheerleaders for 1961-62. Minis­terial
ambitions and scholastic
deficiencies have brought three
new faces to the cheering squad.
Student Body President, Ford
Laumer, has appointed Kenny
McLeod, Gulfshores, Ala., to head
up the regular squad. O t h er
cheerleaders are: Buck Thigpen,
Montgomery, Jimmy Bell, Ever­green,
Johnny Jeffers, Auburn,
Billie Lou Cain, Birmingham,
Anne Hathcock, Dothan, Janice
Jones, Montevallo, Mary Ann
Pugh, Montgomery, and Bob Mil­ler,
Foley.
Although all traditional 'spirit
builders" will be continued this
year, some new angles have been
added to the pep program. The
new golden eagle, War Eagle III,
will be loosing his mighty scream
for the first time this year. Three
sections of the band will congre­gate
on the stadium from differ­ent
directions to increase the fol­lowers
to the stadium. All is in
readiness for the best year in
spirit ever beheld on the "Plains."
All students are urged to join
the spirit "bandwagon", and help
the mighty Auburn spirit to pre­vail!
'Loveliest of the Plains
GETTING THE YEAR off to a good start as our first "Love­liest
of the Plains" is vivacious Ruth Radney. Ruth is one of the
best of the current group of beautiful -freshmen women on the
Plain. She lives in Alumni Hall, majirs in elementary education,
and was a finalist last Spring for Miss Village Fair.
Spirit Committee To Charter Buses
For All Out-Of-Town Football Games
BY JIM DINSMORE
The Auburn Spirit Committee has announced plans to
charter buses for all the out-of-town football games commenc­ing
on September 30 with the Tennessee game. These buses
will be available for all Auburn students and faculty who regis­ter
and pay before a certain deadline. The final date for the
Knoxville trip set by Sonny Odom,
who is in charge of all the bus ex­peditions,
is Thursday, Sept. 28,
at noon. For the Tennessee con­test,
booths will be set up in the
Union Building which will be
open continuously from 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. beginning Monday.
Peace Corps Picks
Two Auburn Alumni
The U. S. Peace Corps has ac­cepted
two Auburn University
graduates, Myrtle Ann Snuggs,
Geneva, and L. Gilbert Griffis,
Birmingham.
Miss Snuggs, class of i960, en­tered
Peace Corps training at
Pennsylvania State University.
Griffis has completed the train­ing
for his assignment at Texas
Western College.
Miss Snuggs, after completing
a course of special study, will
teach in rural elementary schools
in the Phillippine Islands. Before
joining the Peace Corps, she
worked as a claims representative
with the Social Security Admini­stration,
West Palm Beach, Fla.
Griffis will serve in Tanganyi­ka.
He will spend two years
there, helping to build roads
through the jungles and aiding
the government of Tanganyika in
bringing other modern conven­iences
to the people. Griffis was
employed in the forestry depart­ment
of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Corp. prior to his selection
for Peace Corps duty.
AIR FORCE CADETS
DRAW HIGH RATING
Fifty per cent of Auburn Uni­versity's
Air Force ROTC cadets
placed in the top one-third of
their Summer Training Unit
classes.
Names of the starring cadets
are: Frederick H. Ambrosia,
Charles R. Carter, Richard R.
Curtis, Thomas P. Glanton, Rich­ard
G. Hale, Jr., John E. John­son,
Jr., Richard G. Morgan,
Frank E. Peck, and Johnny M.
Mampy. Cadets Glanton and Mor­gan
placed top in their flights.
Col. Ralph I. Williams, profes­sor
of air science at Auburn, an­nounces
that the STU records in­fluenced
the decision to designate
Glanton as Wing Commander and
Morgan as Deputy Wing Com­mander
for the fall quarter.
The Spirit Committee spun the
idea which they thought would
perhaps make it easier for more
Auburn students to attend more
football games at a reasonable
cost. By the "bus experiment"
(this is the first time such a pro­gram
has even been attempted at
Auburn) it is hoped that the Au­burn
spirit will be transported in
mass to Knoxville for the Tennes­see
game and then, later, to At­lanta,
to Birmingham, to Athens,
and again to Birmingham.
The committee makes no profit
on the venture and the sole cost
will be the price of the bus di­vided
among the 36 passengers.
Under the system, the members of
a fraternity or a group will be able
to go together on the same bus.
Parking problems will be alle­viated.
Each bus will arrive at the
stadium an hour before game
time and leave directly after the
contest. Thus the students will
have study time. Each bus
will. be equipped with a chape-rone.
The girls will be allowed to
ride, despite an awkward time of
departure. Perhaps, fun and col­legiate
football experiences t h a t
may not have been within the
reach of aU Auburn.students will
now be available. It seems this
bus idea has tremendous potential
if the Auburn students choose to
take advantage of it.
At 4:00 a.m. an undetermined
number of buses will leave from
the Union Building Circle bound
for Knoxville with an undeter­mined
amount of. spirit. The price
of this long sojurn will be $11.75
for the round trip. The bus will
arrive in Atlanta at 8:00 a.m. for
breakfast and shortly depart for a
1:00 p.m. date in Knoxville. The
result of the clash in Knoxville is
also undetermined.
ALL-CAMPUS "WELCOME"
DANCE
A "welcome" dance will be held
In the Union Ballroom on Saturday
night. All students are cordially
invited to attend. Music will be
furnished by the Auburn Knights.
Girls will have 12:00 permission!
Left Turns, U-Turns On Two Streets
Banned By City Council Ordinance
Left turns and "U-turns" be­tween
intersections on two of
Auburn's busiest d o w n t o wn
streets were proclaimed illegal in
an ordinance adopted by City
Council.
U-turns are no longer legal
on College St. between Magnolia
Ave. and Mitcham Ave., and on
Magnolia in the block between
College and Gay St. Left turns
between intersections "for the
purpose of parking a vehicle" al­so
are prohibited.
Both restrictions are intended
to prevent drivers traveling in
one direction from crossing to the
other side of the street in mid-block
to take advantage of an
empty parking space on the op­posite
side. Left turns at inter­sections,
however, will continue
to be legal except where traffic
signs prohibit them.
The traffic code already pro­vided
that drivers turning left
shall "pass beyond the center of
the intersection, passing as closely
as possible to the right thereof
before turning . . ." This means
that vehicles entering an inter­section
from opposite directions,
both making left turns, are re­quired
to go around each other
instead of cutting in iront.

To Pass 9,200, Says Edwards
Freshmen Introduced To Campus Life
At Student Activities Convocation
BY BOBBY BOETTCHER
Managing Editor
The new freshman class was introduced to Auburn stu­dent
activities at the Student Activities Convocation in Graves
Center Tuesday night. Presiding over the mass meeting, was
SGA President Fred Laumer.
Laumer described the Student Government Association
as an organization whose purpose
This practice is not generally
followed at many intersections,
even though that section of the
code applies to the entire city.
No mention was made at Council
meeting as to stricter enforce­ment
of this provision. At some
intersections w h e r e left-turn-only
lanes are indicated, the pro­cedure
is not feasible.
The ordinance adopted Tuesday
was the second draft of one pre­pared
by City Attorney Knox
McMillan at the request of Zack
Sprayberry, chairman of Coun­cil's
public safety committee. An­other
new section included in
outlawed moving a vehicle out
of an alley in reverse. This would
have been applicable only in the
two-street area designated above.
Purpose of that provision was
to prevent a driver from turning
left into an alley from the op­posite
side of the street and then
backing out to proceed in the
other direction. Council members
decided that this restriction
might be valuable in cuitting
down further on drivers' crossing
the street to park, Rut agreed
that it also might penalize com­mercial
vehicles which make de­liveries
from alleys and must
back out to the street where ac­cess
through the alley is not
available.
is "to represent student oponion
to the administration and control
all student extra-curricula activi­ties
along with providing mem­bers
for joint student-faculty
committees."
The highlight of the evening
was the pep rally and introduc­tion
of the 1961-62 cheerleaders
led by head cheerleader Kenny
McLeod. Other cheerleaders are
Buck Thigpen, Janice Jones,
Johnny Jeffers, Jim Bell, Ann
Hathcock, Billy Lou Cain, and al­ternates
Mary Ann Pugh and Bob
Miller. Freshmen were instructed
in the traditional Auburn yells,
and were introduced to the new
Auburn mascot^ "Wax Eagle III"
who was^ performing admirably
under the guidance of trainer Jon
Bowden.

evening was the famous Auburn

appearance of the year.

STUDENT LEADERS TO MEET
AT CAMP ROTARY TOMORROW
BY HARRY WILKINSON
Some ninety student leaders and eight staff representa­tives
will meet tomorrow at Camp Rotary above Wetumpka,
Ala., to discuss the varied aspects of campus organization. Ford
Laumer, President of the Student Body, has described the pur­pose
of this important meeting: "For many years we have felt
the need of an all-day meeting

Air Force ROTC
Increase Quota
For '63-'64 Grads
The Professor of Air Science,
Colonel Ralph I. Williams, an­nounced
that Headquarters US-AF
has increased officer produc­tion
quotas for students enter­ing

this Fall Quarter. All cate­gories
have expanded to allow
Auburn students who will grad­uate
in 1963-64 increased oppor­tunities
to obtain a commission as
a Second Lieutenant in the

Col. Williams announced that
those students in scientific and
other critical fields of study now
will find the "door to association
with aeronautics and astronau­tics"
opened wider to those whose
eyesight has heretofore held them
back from seeking a commission.
Applicants with visual deficien­cies
interested in pursuing the
Advanced (junior and senior)
AFROTC, and who will be grad­uated
in 1963-64, are urged to
seek further information in the

"It appears that enrollment is
running about 40 Oahead of the
figure we had reached by the cor­responding
date last year," stated
Registrar Charles W. Edwards
Thursday. "As of the end of the
fourth day of registration, the en­rollment
stands at 8002."
Registrar Edwards went on to
say that he expects enrollment to
exceed 9200. Last year it reached
8829.
There are 1950 freshman en­rolled
as compared with last year's
total of 1646. These new members
of the Auburn student body began
a period of orientation Sunday
which ended when they registered
on Wednesday and Thursday. In­cluded
in the activities of the four-day
period were placement tests,
physical examinations, tours of
the campus grounds and various
buildings, group meetings, and
nightly convocations.
Opening orientation week activi­ties
was a picnic supper Sunday
on the lawn of the President's
Home, at which President and
Mrs. Ralph B. Draughon were
hosts to all entering freshmen.
This was followed by a religious
convocation at Graves Center Am­phitheater,
when the Rev. Raj
Pendleton, pastor of the Village
Christian Church, addressed the
group.
Monday night's convocation cen­tered
on the theme, "Your Uni­versity,
Your Academic Respon­sibility."
President Draughon
spoke on Auburn University and
its great heritage, while Dr. Robert
C. Anderson, executive vice-presi­dent,
presented a challenge to the
students to fulfill their responsi­bilities
in a nacademic communi­ty.
Dean of Faculties M. C. Hunt­ley
introduced the deans of the
various schools, who addressed
their own constituents at other
times during the week at special
deans' convocations.
The freshmen were introduced
to Auburn's student leaders at the
Tuesday night convocation. Presi­dent
of the Student Government
Association Ford Laumer presided
and introduced leaders in the
fields of student government, pub­lications,
honoraries, and athletics.
Brief summaries of the activities
of these groups were presented
by their heads.
The final evening activity of
orientation week was a reception
for freshmen given by the Au­burn
churches at their respective
student centers.
Slate Legislature
Grants $3 Million
Under AU Request
BY BOB NIXON
At its recent legislative session,
the Alabama State Legislature ap­propriated
nearly $3,000,000 less
for Auburn University's instruc­tional
division operating expenses
than the University had requested.
Auburn had requested a total of
$10,252,500 for the 1961-62 school
year. Governor John Patterson
recommended an appropriation of
$7,365,128, a difference of $2,887,-
3722.
This means that Auburn will
have to operate during the 1961-
62 school year on approximately
the same amount of funds as were
available last year, even though
enrollment has increased.
The only significant increase
will be $200-250,000 which will
come from increased student fees.
The University had asked for an
increase of approximately 10%
over the 1959 appropriations.
Of an additional $10,265,000 re­quested
by the University for ma­jor
building and capital improve­ment
needs, the Legislature grant­ed
only $165,000. This amount is
to go to the Agriculture Experi­ment
Station Division.
In other action affecting Au­burn,
the legislature proposed a
constitutional amendment to pre­vent
legislative reapportionment
from affecting membership of the

Alphi Phi Omega Book Exchange
Moves To New L-Buildmg Location
BY BOB NIXON
The Alpha Phi Omega Book
Exchange opened for business
Monday in its new location in
the L-Building tunnel. The ex­change
will be in operation daily
from 8 to 12 and from 1 to 5,
through Monday, September 25.
, Provided as service project of
the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity,
the exchange is staffed by A Phi
O volunteers and is operated as
a non-profit organization.
The purpose of the exchange is
to serve as a clearing house for
students wishing to buy or sell
used textbooks.
The University provided ap­proximately
$3500 worth of the
construction necessary to con­vert
the former heating plant
space into its present condition.
All interior work, including the
making and installation of furnish­ings,
flooring, and a considerable
amount of the painting was done
by A Phi O members.
DAVID PEET, A Phi O past
president, estimates that the new
facilities will increase approxi­mately
ten-fold the capacity of
the exchange to serve the stu­dent
body. So far this quarter al­most
800 students have availed
themselves of the exchange's ser-

vices, with A Phi O members
contributing 120 hours of volun­teer
work.
Under the present system of
operation the student wishing to
sell a book fills out a bookcard
and prices the book himself. The
book is accepted on consignment
for one year. If the book is sold,
a check is mailed to the seller af­ter
the exchange closes for the
quarter.
* * *
TIME IS allowed for buyers to
return books. If the book is not
sold within the year or if it goes
out of date, the student is noti­fied
that the book has not. been
sold and is requested to claim it.
If the book is not reclaimed it is
sent overseas as a service project
to other countries.
The student is asked to price
his books reasonably to insure a
quick sale. The exchange recom­mends
charging 75 per cent of the
current selling price for books in
good condition, and 50 per cent
for those in only fair condition.
Students wishing to place books
with the exchange for sale are
urged to do so as early as pos­sible
at the beginning and end
of each quarter.
THE RELOCATED and expanded Alpha Phi Omega book­store
has already begun to demonstrate its capabilities to better
serve Auburn students. Here, a group of students queue up to
find some bargains in' books for their courses this fall.
Sixteen Colleges To Be Presented
At Phi Eta Sigma Region Conference
BY J IM DINSMORE
Features Editor
There is a challenge today. It
is a challenge extended to all
young men; but most especially it
confronts today's college fresh­men.
The challenge is—to accept
responsibility, to soar above medi­ocrity.
Rising to accept the chal­lenge
of our times is a small, se­lect
group of sophomore men
who are brothers in a scholastic
honorary called Phi Eta Sigma.
The members of this national hon­orary
were chosen from the fresh­man
ranks because of outstanding
scholarship, were chosen because
they met the challenge in their
own small way and because they
are in a position to offer help to
others. Their hands are extended.
To help determine where the
hands should go, the brothers of
Phi Eta Sigma meet in regional
conference at various locations.
This year, on October 9 and 10,
Auburn will play host to the big­gest
Phi Eta Sigma regional con­ference
ever held. Coming to the
Plains will be about 60 delegates
from sixteen institutions in the
South, along with several l o c al
chapter advisors. These men will
meet together — socially and in
panels—to face up to the challenge
and to resolve means to help fresh­men
maintain grades worthy of
themselves and their institutions.
Several outstanding Phi Eta Sig-ma's
will be here to speak on
some phase of "the challenge."
Mr. William Tate, dean of men at
the University of Georgia, and
Mr. Lester Hale, dean of students
at the University of Florida, are

the before shave lotion. Now the guy won't stop talking, he'
thinks electric shaving is so great.
**M
ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric improves electric shaving even more
than lather improves blade shaving. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric
sets up your beard by drying perspiration and whisker oils so
you shave blade-close without irritation. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-
Electric gives you the c/osesf, cleanest, fasiest shave.
If Archie ever stops talking, I'll tell him / use Old Spice Pro-
Electric myself.
The Auburn Spirit is on the air,
and it will be made manifest.
There are the pep' rallies. Before
every game—to get us worked up,
to find the right pitch. There will
be special personalities at t h e se
rallies—coaches, players, alumni—
to inspire, to give the spirit more
color. And with the challenge of
each game facing us, there will
be response. The rallies are im­portant
and necessary to the Au­burn
spirit. They start the din
which becomes crescendo.
At the rallies there will be the
bird, War Eagle III, spreading a
degree of spirit with each unfold­ing
of his huge wings. This year
he will be the focal point at all
the rallies and games. We will
look to him and be proud and we
will pour out our spirit for Au­burn.
Before the games the town
will be painted and this will add
to the rally effort. And spirit-committee
sponsored buses will
leave for every out of town game
to take the spirit elsewhere.
And there is the Spirit Com­mittee
headed by Bert Hitchcock.
It is their job to keep a hand on
the pulse of the Auburn spirit and
never to let it wane. That is the
purpose of the active Spirit Com­mittee.
However, we, all of us,
belong at least passively to the
Spirit Committee. We have an ob­ligation
to maintain the flow of
spirit. This is Auburn.

AUBURN FOOD STUDY INDICATES
GOOD BREAKFAST HELPS GRADES
Students who wish to attain the
highest academic standards should
start the day with a good break­fast,
reports Mrs. Mildred Van de
Mark, head professor of f o o ds
and nutrition, Auburn University.
"Studies have shown that the
omission of breakfast .results in
decreased efficiency in the mid-morning
hours, causing poorer
physiologic performance," she re­lates.
"Furthermore, the omission
of breakfast is known to .result in
poorer attitudes toward school
work and to detract from scholas­tic
attainments. Coffee alone is not
a substitute for breakfast. Effi­ciency
in the late morning is con­siderably
less than when a basic
breakfast is eaten."
The 1961 study revealed a slight
decline in the number of break­fasts
eaten per week by Auburn
students as compared to the 1954
study. A decline was noted among
students who ate between four
and six breakfasts per week. Stu­dents
who reportedly ate no break­fasts
per person per week jumped
from two per cent in 1954 to 12
per cent in 1961..
Some other trends noted in the
study were these:
1961 Auburn students drink less
-milk and more soft drinks than
did their 1954 counterparts. In
both cases, more men were found
to like milk than was true of wo­men
students. Twenty-seven per
cent of the interviewees drink 10
or more soft drinks per person a
week. That is over three times the
number reported in 1954.
In-between meal snacks—can­dy,
cookies, crackers—has decreas­ed
at Auburn since 1954. For 1961,
38 per cent consumed none of these
supplementary foods in contrast to
the 25 per cent who indicated this
practice in the previous study.
Mrs. Van de Mark, who is the
incoming president of the. Alabama
Dietetics Association, harks back
to the basic breakfast. "The exact
content of breakfast is not the de­termining
factor in efficiency so
long as the morning meal is basi­cally
adequate from the standpoint
A key that opens the door to
several fields of engineering and
science is chemical engineering.
Through the broad engineering
science background offered in the
discipline, "A chemical engineer
is particularly well suited to solve
problems cutting across several
fields of engineering," says Dr. C.
A. Basore, head professor of Au­burn
University's chemical engi­neering
department.
Sounding like a recruiting offi­cer
in his exuberance for attract­ing
young, qualified students to a
career as chemical engineers, Ba­sore
plainly discourages the lazy
and the faint-hearted. But for the
boys who are willing to give a lit­tle
something extra, satisfactory
rewards are to be hed.
"There are such broad, basic
opportunities in the chemical in­dustry,"
said Basore. "Moreover,
we see that chemical engineering
ties .right in with space technolo­gy.
Automation assists in this. As
for opportunities, the field is un-crowded
and salaries are good. A
new graduate can begin work with
an average salary of $525 to $530
per month. "Many who h a ve
been out of school for 10 to 15
years earn $12,000 to $15,000 an­nually,"
said Dr. Basore.
Auburn chemical engineering
graduates now are serving with
major companies all over the
world.
Keeping the chemical engineer­ing
department in line with the
requirements of the chemical in­dustry
and of space age technolo­gy
calls for hard work and fore-of
its nutritional content," she
says. "A good breakfast should
center around fruit, bacon and
eggs, or cereal, fruit and milk.
Concluded Mrs. Van de Mark,
"If Auburn students wish to make
the most of their opportunities,
special consideration should be
given to food habits. Good food
habits provide for greater effi­ciency
and achievements."

ONCE MORE, UNTO THE BREACH
With this installment I begin my eighth year of writing columns
for the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, as tine a bunch of men
as you would meet in a month of Sundays—loyal, true, robust,
windswept, forthright, tattooed—in short, precisely the kind
of men you would;.exggc.t.them to be if you were familiar with
the cigarettes they make-rand I hop'e.-you are—for Marlboro^
like its makers, is loyal, true, robust, wintlswejit, forthright,
tattooed.
There is, however, one important difference between Marl­boro
and its makers. Marlboro has a filter and the makers do
not—except of course for Windswept T. Sigafoos, Vice President
in charge of Media Research. Mr. Sigafoos does have a filter.
I don't mean that Mr. Sigafoos •personally has a filter. What I
mean is that he has a filter in his swimming pool at his home in
Fairbanks, Alaska. You might think that Fairbanks is rather
an odd place for Mr. Sigafoos to live, being such a long distance
tfct
WMrobdwa
from the Marlboro home office in New York City. But it should
be pointed out that Mr. Sigafoos is not required to be at work
until 10 A.M.
But I digress. This column, I say, will take up questions of
burning interest to the academic world—like "Should French
conversation classes be conducted in English?" and "Should
students be allowed to attend first hour classes in pajamas and
robes?" and "Can a student of IS find happiness with an eco­nomics
professor of 90?"
Because many of you are new to college, especially freshmen,
perhaps it would be well in this opening column to start with
campus fundamentals. What, for example, does "Alma Mater''
mean? Well, sir, "Alma Mater" is Latin for "send money".
What does "Dean" mean? Well, sir, "Dean" is Latin for
"don't get caught". . .
What does "dormitory" mean? Well, sir, "dormitory" is
Latin for "bed of pain".
Next, let us discuss student-teacher relationships. In college
the keynote of the relationship between student and teacher is
informality. When you meet a teacher on campus, you need
not salute. Simply tug your forelock. If you are bald and have
no forelock, a low curtsey will suffice. In no circumstances
should you polish a teacher's car or sponge and press his suit.
It is, however, permissible to worm his clog.
With the President of the University, of course, your relation­ship
will be a bit more formal. When you encounter the Presi­dent,
fling yourself prone on the sidewalk and sing loudly:
i'Prexy is wise
Prexy is true
Prexy has eyes
Of Lake Louise blue."
As you can see, the President of the University is called
"Prexy". Similarly, Deans are called "Dixie". Professors are
called "Proxie". Housemothers are called "Hoxie Moxie".
Students are called "Amoebae".

Auburn's "War Eagle" now has
company. Two more mascots have
joined in the Auburn spirit by
perching atop the main entrance
to the Auburn campus on Toom-er's
corner. "War Eagles" four and

Male 'May Day Queen' Contest
Began Due To Dislike For Coeds
BY L. O. BRACKEEN
Attitude of men students tow­ard
coeds has changed a lot since
Albert Sydney "Emma" Gole-man
was the first and only male
students ever elected and crown­ed
"May Day Queen" at Auburn
University.
"The idea of electing a man
instead of a coed as May Queen
originated in the minds of the
students who disliked coeds when
I was a senior 37 years ago,"
writes Mr. G o 1 e m a n from his
home in Houston, Tex.
"Four male candidates w e re
selected to run against several
coed candidates. It so happened
that four seniors carried girl
nicknames. Mine was 'Emma.' It
was given me my freshman year
when Emma Goldman, the wo­man
Russian Bolshevist, was de­ported
from this country and hit
all of the newspaper headlines.
So in fun, I was dubbed 'Emma'
Goleman, which stuck with me
all through Auburn."
Other male candidates in the
1924 contest were "Minnie" Brise,
"Pat" Patrick and "Bevo" Swan-go,
all of whom served as attend,
dants during the May Day festi­val
on May 1.
"Not since Harrison and Ty­ler's
'hard-cider campaign' a cen-tui-
y ago won the presidential
honors of the nation has a more
sensational election been held,"
said the April 25, 1924, issue of
the Plainsman.
"Nor were the activities of Em­ma's
supporters confined to the
main street of the Village. Far
be it from that, as a mass meet­ing
was held in Old Langdon Hall
which filled the historic old
building to the over-flowing. Lo­cal
telent, both musical and
otherwise, was so inspired by the
great cause that a concert was
given that surpassed all past per­formances
in the Hall."
Under the heading; " 'Emma'
Goleman Makes Lovely Queen,"
the May 2 issue of the Plainsman
reported:
" 'Emma' Goleman . . . was
crowned Queen of the May on
Thursday morning with as elab­orate
a ceremony as any sover­eign
might desire. The affair was
the most unique that has ever
been put on in the Village of the
Plains."
'The Pathe News man was
there with his camera, and made
moving pictures . . . He after­wards
remarked that he had cov­ered
many stories and incidents,
but that one which engaged his
time and attention Thursday was
the most unique one of his rec­ord."
The Plainsman also stated that
the Pathe News comeraman, with
all of his cameras, "attracted as
much attention to himself" as did
the queen and his court.
"In conclusion, a mock wedding
brought forth bursts of applause.
Then it was that a fitting cli­max
was given to the morning's
attractions, when the Queen of
May became the bride of H. L.
Holman, and 'Chancellor" George
W. Phillips pronounced the cere­mony.
"To summarize, it was a great
day for all who witnessed the
performance," the account con­cluded.

Librarian Shortage
Cited By Bulletin
At present there are 18,000 un­filled
library jobs. One reason
for this shortage is the image of
a prim, spinsterish librarian, re­ports
the Auburn University Li­brary
Bulletin.
The librarian is pictured as one
who carries about with her the
faint aroma of library paste and
who peers shyly at the world
w i t h blinking, book-strained
eyes. This picture, the Bulletin
asserts, is not true.
Library work, according to the
Bulletin, is dynamic, fulfilling
and creative. A librarian has to
know what's happening in the
world, says Miss Myrle Ricking,
personnel officer of the Milwau­kee
Public Library.
The average yearly salary for a
beginning librarian is about $5,-
100, while some librarians earn
as much as $20,000 annually in
administrative posts in large li­brary
systems.
The trouble with being punc­tual
is that there is no one there
to appreciate it.

A New Welcome-Freshmen Go Home
NOW THAT the current crop of freshman
have been indoctrinated and orientated,
impressed and depressed, rushed and hush­ed,
and welcomed to the point where the
word 'welcome' brings only feelings of re­vulsion,
we feel it is time to initiate our
"Freshman Go Home" campaign.
Indeed, we already have a burgeoning
army of supporters enlisted in our crusade
who are ready to swing into action at a
moment's notice when the clarion call of
"I HATE FRESHMEN" rings out over the
plain. And it is an army of almost over­whelming
power, which can be overcome
by only the staunchest and most determin­ed
freshmen. Statistically, less than half
will overcome it—the others will go home
permanently before they receive that all-important
diploma.
This army is so powerful and so nume­rous
that it is almost amazing that even 40
per cent or so will finally graduate. It is
led by a state legislature which refuses to
appropriate adequate funds to operate its
educational system at more than a subsi-tence
level. Other high officers include
high school teachers who fail to provide
students a reasonably decent background
for college work; that girl (or boy) back
home who, it seems, is more important than
an education; a few sadistic pledge-beaters
in fraternities and rat-beaters in the dorms;
poor instructors who sometimes make up
for their own deficiencies by indiscrimi­nate
flunking; and, perhaps more terrifying
than any of the others, that numerous
group who by their attitudes and actions,
and often by their very presence, promote
a stale intellectual atmosphere of deca­dence
and non-thinking.
Like the Greek army before Troy, the in­dividuals
of this army receive powerful
support from the gods in this war against
freshmen. Ares, the hated god of war, re­moves
a goodly share from the fight and
presses them into his own service. Mischie­vous
Pan leads many down the road to ex­pulsion.
Some surrender to Bacchus, the
god of wine. Even Aphrodite, the goddess
of love, and Eros, who is concerned with
sex, take a high toll through marriage and
through unwanted pregnancy.
We, however, support this army in its
war against only part of the freshmen—
those who are unfit to be in college in the
first place. They are really traitors to their
own cause, for they weaken and detract
from the fighting ability of those who de­serve
to be here, and generally contami­nate
and subvert the institution. To the
others, those freshmen who have the will
and the ability to make the most of their
college experience, we extend our warmest
welcome and our strongest encouragement.
John Birch Society Assay
THE JOHN BIRCH Society, an ultra-con­servative
group which has been described
as being only a goose-step away from
the formation of Brown Shirt leagues, has
announced an essay contest for college stu­dents.
Their leader, Robert Welch, who
has described Dwight Eisenhower as a Com­munist
agent, disclosed that $1,000 will
be awarded for the best essay on "Grounds
for the Impeachment of (Supreme Court
Chief Justice Earl) Warren."
We would like to suggest a few other
subjects for which the Society should offer
prizes to college students of this political
conviction.
"The Social Security Evil." Tell how So­cial
Security turns our country's old people
into drones and makes them slaves of the
federal government.
"The Public Power Menace." Point out
the evils of the Tennessee Valley Authority,
assuming that the American people would
prefer poverty, candles, and floods to pros­perity,
cheap electricity, and flood con­trol.
"Abolish Foreign Aid and the United Na­tions."
Show how isolationism is a practical
policy in the modern world and describe
how we should build "Fortress America."
"Reasons for Blocking Federal Aid to
Education." Assume that the federal gov­ernment
is a tyranny which is trying to
corrupt the minds of the nation's youth,
while state governments are all above such
things as dictating policy, prescribing text­books
and curtailing academic freedom. No
one is going to win the approbation of the
Birch Society unless he joins in the wide­spread
assumption that the federal govern­ment
is determined to destroy the Ameri­can
system.
7"o Pledge And What To Pledge
THE DECISION of whether or not to pledge
a fraternity, and its accompanying de­cision
of which fraternity to pledge, are
two of the most important decisions which
a man will be called on to make during his
college career! They have especial influence
on his college years and do much to shape
the rest of his life.
Despite its many faults, we believe that
the fraternity system in general, and par­ticularly
the fraternity system here at Au­burn,
is worthy of the highest commenda­tion
as a way of life for college men. Its
drawbacks are far outweighed by its ad­vantages,
which we trust have been fully
explained to all the prospective pledges
here this fall. We believe that rational, ma­ture
thought on this subject can lead the
rushee only to fraternity membership.
The second decision is much more sub­jective.
There is no one group which can
be called best—some excel in one thing
and some in another. The rushee must de­cide
not which fraternity is best, but which
fraternity is best for him. With honest ef­fort,
thorough investigation, and searching
thought, we feel sure that he can make the
right decision.
Traffic Situation Demands Action
OPERATION of an automobile on the Au­burn
campus, and in the whole city of
Auburn, seems to have reached a point of
diminishing returns. The traffic situation
is bad at any time of the day, and at the
noon and evening rush hours it is intoler­able.
Many proposed solutions to this problem
have been offered and widely discussed in
the Plainsman and elsewhere in the past,
chief among them being some form of limi­tation
on operation of cars by freshmen.
It appears that little if anything has been
accomplished, however, while with 9,200
students expected this fall and over 10,000
next fall, the problem worsens each year.
Any conceivable solution which would
offer real relief to the problem is bound to
meet with disfavor by the group affected,
but it seems to us that the time has come
for action. We urge the administration and
responsible student leadership to take steps
to remedy our traffic problem by next fall.

Crusading Journalism Appeal Comes

An Interested Observer
(Name withheld by Request)
Editor, The Plainsman:
As one who is familiar with
your situation at Auburn, I find
it pertinent at this time to quote
passages from Mr. Vernon M.
Newton's candid new book, Cru­sade
for Democracy.
After some years of crusading
against governmental corruption
in his community, a New Jersey
editor and publisher roared his
disgust as follows:
"<£rusading is a rich man's
game. You lose advertising, you
lose circulation, you even lose
prestige.
"People begin thinking you
have a personal axe to grind, and
that the publisher, himself, is
working for some ulterior mo­tive.
And when you have thwart­ed
the plans of scheming politic­ians
and have saved the city or
county millions of dollars —•
what happens? No one gives a
damn.
"The friends apreciate the ser­vice
you have done for a few
minutes, and then forget it im­mediately
and completely. But
the enemies you have made never
forget. No, and neither do their
brothers, sisters, fellow lodge
members, and everybody else
connected with the culprit or
culprits.
"The good will you generate in
a crusade is short and fleeting,
and the ill will last forever.
"I have discovered that the
people hat a' crusader and love
a pussyfooter.
"There can be no doubt but
that crusading newspapering is
truly a man's job. If you think that
the scalawag politicians will let
you crusade at their expense
without retaliation in one form
or another, then you have an­other
think coming. And if you
think the dear old public will
heap accolades upon your cru­sading
and install you as a perm­anent
hero, then you have a third
think coming. And if you think
you can get away with crusad­ing
without accumulating lifetime
scars upon your nervous system,
you'll need a fourth think.
"Such a newspaper (as re­fuses
to crusade when necessary)
reminds me of certain men I have
met in life — smart talking men

Communism At Work . . .
Soviet Trade Fair In ^ A t t r a c t i v e And Delightful,
But Coldness Of Communin Shows Through Pretention
By Efby Boettcher
EVERY day we hear of what the
Communists are doing here and
there. We take note of their tac­tics.
We read the words of their
leaders. We feel thoroughly fami­liar
with the Communist idealogy
as that system which is opposite
to our own democratic society. But
how many average American stu­dents
have ever actually seen a
real professed Communist at work
in the open?
When I was younger, I had the
idea that Communist tactics were
so brutal and crude that it was
hard to imagine how anyone with
a will tp live pould possibly be
won over. It is obvious that this
notion is unsound, due to the un­fortunate
fact that millions of
people have indeed been won over
by communism and faithfully
swear allegiance to it.
I had a wonderful opportunity
in attending the Soviet Trade Fair
in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago
during a visit to Japan. It was my
first face-to-face contact with
communism, and in many ways it
was a delightful exposition that
could just have well been a large
state fair in this country. There
were no fped guards herding
people inll out, no riots or per­sonal
abu|that one would imag­ine
in a ciish concept of com­munism.
Ithe contrary, it was
quite attrs/e in many respects.

a scowl on t face that shouid

These, and several other Rus­sian
peculiarities were really in­significant
in comparison to a dip­lomatic
blunder which took place
in connection with the Trade Fair,
and was reported all over the
world.
Anastas Mikoyan, top Soviet
trade diplomat, came to Tokyo for
the opening of the exposition. He
made an excellent impression on
the Japanese people at first, and
was received and entertained most
cordially by them. Mikoyan, feel­ing
quite sure that he had .really
gotten his foot well in the door of
Japanese government, cornered
Japan's Prime Minister Ikeda and
proposed that Japan pull away
from some of her committments
in the American Security Treaty,
in his country's internal affairs,
Ikeda made a public condemna­tion
of the Russian's proposal'.
And attendancse at the Trade
Fair dwindled more and more
each day.
The Russian grizzly bear just
can't be disguised as a quiet dove

Writer's Self-examination . . .
Writing What You Think Dercnds Thought, Imagination;
Thinking What You Write LeadTo Indecision, Stagnation
By %y Savage
The typewriter is set to quick­ly
fill the paper with meaningful
words spontaneously arising from
a clear thinking and probing
mind. But, what usually happens
is that I sit meditating about the
use of a particular word that
will convey that distinctive
thought that no one else has
ever had the insight and ingen­uity
to grasp. This thoughtful ap­proach
to the writing of an arti­cle
has usually utterly stumped
me. Therefore, I have divided
up those little bits of profundity
that thinking in this particular
activity of my life does not draw
that shake the very roots of all
mankind. Thinking as I write has
only led to stagnant and mosquito
infested pieces of blank yellow
paper.
Once one decides to write, one
must write. Just as when one de­cides
to talk one must talk and
not try to think at the same time.
If you try to think and talk at
the same time there usually be­gins
a conglomerate group of dis­connected
ideas that are com­pletely
unintelligible to the lis­tener.
Ideas flit across the mind
and the thought slips out in­stead
of the point that is to be
made. Communication is lost in
the rapidity oftelevant images
that enter an live mind each
second.
FORGOTTSTHOUGHT
Again I am cfcht in the web
of my thinking ji cannot bring
myself to put i hands on the
keyboard and iund out the
words that willjl the paper. I
thought of an htration a few
seconds ago thatiuld have been
quite interesting id graphic. It
has now compk / escaped my
mind. What goorfien did it do
me to begin t hink after I
had once decided write?
An unavoidal coincidence
which stands tebntradict the
point of the whohrticrels that
I have recalled 1 illustration.
Consequently thhew thought
enters the articleJ
Have you eveiood in front

or to spen ie same nic­kel

e same kind
: time? The
iar with al-ptical
nuts.
Now you are being different
merely for the sake of being dif­ferent.
This decision is not an
expression or originality. Who
wants to be original then?
Back to the subject with the
question, who can write anything
worth its salt without it being
at least a new way of saying
the same old thing?
STAGNANT INDECISION
Decisions are hard to make.
Decisions mean that certain
things must inevitably follow. If
one decides to write, and writing
is obvious only in words written
on a piece of paper, then words
must be put on the paper regard­less
of the consequences of their
meaning. The stagnancy of inde­cision,
an empty existence for all,
is actually the plight of sitting
before the writing machine won­dering
whether or not you really
have anything to say in the first
place.
The truth in this article was
much more ably put by Jacques
Barzun, an eminent American
educator, in his book, Teacher in
America. Learning to write con­sists
of writing what you think,
and not thinking about what you
write.
THE THOUGHT IS WHAT
COUNTS.

European Common Market Mak

Addition Of Europe,
Through the European Common
Market, a United States of Eu­rope
is in the process of creation.
The accession of Britain to the
Common Market this summer
gave it the final touch needed to
push it to good prospects of ulti­mate
fruition.
This United States of Europe,
spanning a major portion of the
civilized world from the Atlantic
to the Iron Curtain, will emerge
as the mightiest industrial power
on the globe. Its 19 member na­tions
will have over 300 million
consumers, and in both production
and potential it will dwarf botli
the U. S. and the Soviet Union.
Among these common market
member nations, trade walls are
gradually being torn down, and
soon goods will move duty-free
across the United States of Europe
just as they move across the Uni­ted
States of America. At the
same time, a tariff wall will be
erected for the Common Market

but it seems to have a gol'hance
of coming to ultimate rely. The
problems inherent in a n ; such
as this are immense, and leces-sity
this must be a long-r j pro­ject.
However, Britain's -tuous
twisting and turning b< e she

Common Market may b nly a
small preview of what i could
face if we end up on th< Hside
looking in.
Consider these facts, as orted
by columnist Sylvia Portt
"In Washington, top po -ma­kers
in the Kennedy administra­tion
are preparing a broad pro­gram
of free trade proposals to be
presented to Congress next year
when the decades-old, Reciprocal
Trade Act—under which the ad­ministration
gets its tariff—cutting
powers—again will come up for
renewal. The thinking behind the
plans is that we must be in a po­sition
to negotiate with the Com­mon
Market nations across the
board . . .
"In Europe, according to a
thoughtful report in the trade
publication International Manage­ment,
industrialists are sepeculat-ing
that it is only a matter of
time before the Atlantic Ocean
will be bridged and there will be
a trading system linking Europe
with the markets of North Ameri­ca.
A major "foundation pier for
an Atlantic bridge already, exists
in the form of the Atlantic Com­munity
(the new Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Devel­opment),
of which we are a mem­ber.
"France's Jean Monnet, the ar­chitect
of the Common Market ac­tually
put it in words on Aug. 1,
when hailing the entry of Britain
he declared, 'Between this Europe
and the United States, it will be
natural to establish an association
of equal partners which will as­sure
peace in the world'.|"
Many years will probably pass
before we decide to unite economi­cally
with Europe, but there seems
to be a distinct possibility that it
may not be too many years after
all. In the face of the Communist
threat, union may be a necessity.'

Police Chief Asks Cooperation As

Heaviest traffic in the history of Auburn brought a strin­gent

to ease a highly congested situa­tion
on Auburn streets.
Police are tightening up not on­ly
on reckless driving, speeding
and driving while intoxicated, but
also are cracking down on red

AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
Balanced League In Store For SEC;
Writers Pick LSU, Ole Miss, 'Bama First
BY JOHN WALLACE
Managing Editor
Down in the bayou country you can hear the rumbling of a Tiger
as it paces restlessly in the swamps waiting for a kill.
And a few miles to the east in a quiet flatland town a collection
of- Mississippi's finest are .readying themselves for another great year.
Still further east across a state border a bear growls meanacingly,
but pays particular attention to a tough young bulldog over Georgia
way.
Up in Tennessee a crack squad of Volunteers is drilling.
In bluegrass country a wildcat bares its teeth and down in the
sunshine a 'gator snaps its jaws.
They're ready in the yellow jacket nest, too; and down in New
Orleans and at Vandy and Mississippi State. And at home a sturdy
War Eagle is sharpening its claws.
This is a balanced league in the Southeastern Conference this
year. That's what they tell us.
The national rankings have played leap frog with the best in the
SEC. Sometimes LSU is the most likely, sometimes Ole Miss, and
sometimes Alabama.
But consensus has it that one of these will be "king of the moun­t
a i n " come December. Dietzel doesn't deny it; Ole Miss has the men
and the schedule; the "Bear" reluctantly admits his boys are ready.
But Florida, which fashioned a remarkable 8-2 record in Ray
Graves' first season, is primed for an upset. For that matter so is the
home team. Shug Jordan is well respected and his teams are always
tough.
Look around again—Georgia Tech, Georgia, Tennessee—they're
not to be slighted.
They're plenty hungry at Tulane and up in Nashville and Stark-v
i l le and Lexington.
The writers have said a lot for not a game to have been played,
but tomorrow or rather tonight will take care of that (we can't forget
Tech's vacation trip to meet Southern Cal).
Yes, the game's back again for another three months run or even
more if you count bowl games and this year certainly we'd like to add
the bowl games.
The crisp sunny afternoons in Cliff Hare, the soaking, sloppy days
in Atlanta, and the cold, biting hours in Legion Field all are before
us.
It's another season and there's no doubt it'll be as enjoyable as
all the others.
EXTRA INNINGS^—Auburn Tackle-Guard George Gross has been
displaying some of his potential lately; a recent publicity release called
him the "Bavarian Bandit" referring in turn to his native land his
defensive capabilities . . . the latest Auburn football brochure depicts a
mountain-climbing Coach Jordan with a Tiger on a plateau labeled the
"first ten years under Jordan" and prophetically, we hope, shows him
pointing upward . . . the roll of Plainsman Ail-Americans has certainly
swelled in the past decade; five are listed up to 1949, but eight more
have been added since then . . . Watch this year's freshman squad;
they're tabbed the best in years.

Experienced Line, Speedy Backfield
Bright Spots For Plainsman Squad
BY DAVE WALL
Plainsman Sports, Writer
With the Tigers off probation and hungry for a major
bowl bid on New Year's Day, the 1961-62 football season on
the Plains should prove one of the most exciting in Auburn
history. Even with the loss of ace guard, G. W. Clapp, whose
injury ended his college football career, Coach Ralph Jordan
is in the position to field an all
MACHEN FIGHTS LEG INJURY
TO JUMP BACK IN PICTURE
The Auburn Tigers, with a squad
of nineteen .returning lettermen,
are shaping into a very strong
team. There are several questions,
however, which are plaguing the
coaches. Among these is the pos­sibility
of having Don Machen, an
experienced halfback sidelined.
Machen, the 21-year-old senior
from Sylacauga, returned to prac­tice
Monday for his first actual
scrimmage since his knee opera­tion
last spring. Don, suffering
from a serious knee injury h as
kept the coaches and doctors won­dering
whether or not he would
be able to follow up his two out­standing
seasons with this year's.
The situation has been very un­certain,
but now there is new
hope for the "Little Man."
At Monday's scrimmage Machen
saw limited action. He carried the
ball several times and averaged
over eight yards per carry. He
showed no ill effects from this
workout. Everyone was very
pleased with his performance, es­pecially
since this scrimmage was
his first actual strain on his knee
since last Spring. Machen alter­nated
with Bobby Lee in Mon­day's
scrimmage.
There is a good chance that Don
may see limited action in Auburn's
first game against Tennessee. This
action, no matter how limited, will
certainly be beneficial to the team.
Machen's ability is quickly no­ticed
by his past record. He is ex­tremely
quick and tough. He car­ried
the ball 38 times for a total
of 172 yards and an average of 4.5
yards per carry last year. He was
the second leading Auburn scorer
and the second leader in kickoff
returns following Jimmy Burson.
Don returned eight kickoffs for
227 yards and a 28.4 yards per
carry average.
The "Little Man," 5 ft., 8 inches
tall and weighing 148 pounds is
not only a star on the field, but
also in the Auburn classrooms.
Don is an outstanding student in
Business Administration.
G. W. Clapp Sidelined
By Second Injury;
Ends Football Career
BY CHARLES McCAY
The only major injury thus far
in Auburn's fall football practice
is indeed a major one. It brought
to an end the college career of one
of the SEC's leading guards, G. W.
Clapp.
Clapp, who had played first
string guard along with Zeke
Smith in 1958 and 1959, was out
last year with an injury and was
just beginning to regain his
strength and speed and had taken
over his old position at right guard
with the first unit when he tore
a ligament in his left knee. This
was the same type of. injury that
prevented his playing last year.
Even though this injury is not
as serious as the one last year,
which required surgery, it means
Clapp will be out all season, thus
bringing to an end his injury
plagued career.
It is especially disheartening to
the 6 ft., 2 inch senior from
Hanceville because he had worked
exceptionally hard this summer to
bring his weight down from 230
pounds, after the year's absence,
to his regular playing weight of
206 pounds. According to Coach
Jordan, Clapp was looking really
good and he was being counted on
to bolster the big Tiger line.
Coach Jordan, as well as many
other head coaches in the league
considered Clapp as one of the
best guards in the league. He was
certainly underrated, having been
overshadowed by the all-American
play of Zeke Smith.
The loss of Clapp has caused an
alteration in some of Coach Jor­dan's
future plans for the already
unstable guard situation: . It has
moved 6 ft., 200-pound senior Jim­my
Putman back to first string
and will prevent Jordan from,
making certain changes as plan­ned.
The only other injuries causing
concern are Bobby Foret's sprain­ed
ankle and Don Downs' badly
bruised shoulder. Both of these
men play right end. Trainer Ken­ny
Howard says they're both com­ing
along very well and should be
ready for action against Tennes­see
barring future injuries.
senior starting line and a speedy
backfield which should prove
more than adequate, barring se­rious
injury.
As time draws near for the
opening game against Tennessee
in Knoxville, Wayne Frazier is
the pick at center thus far. The
big 218-pound center is one of the
SEC's finest and is destined for
greatness in this, his final year.
Backing Frazier on the second and
third teams .respectively will be
Jim Price and Don Irvin. Price, a
225-pound junior from Birming­ham,
will see a great deal of action
at the defensive linebacking spot.
The guard positions seem es­pecially
strong this year with ex­perienced
Jimmy Putman at left
guard and fiery Jerry Gulledge
handling the right side. Gulledge
is perhaps the hardest worker and
most hustling player on the squad.
He is a 205-pounder and a tre­mendous
defensive player, who
simply refuses to be taken out of
the play. The guard corps is
strengthened by second-teamers
Davis Brock and Joe Baughn,
along with Billy Haas and George
Gross, who will probably see ac­tion
at both guard and tackle.
STARTING at left tackle will
be All-America candidate Billy
Wilson, Billy has tremendous
speed for a man of 240 pounds and
has a knack for putting pressure
on opposing quarterbacks as well
as making holes in the line on
offense. The right tackle^will be
Dave Woodward, a consistent per­former,
who played a lot of foot­ball
on the second unit last year.
Winky Giddens and Jimmy Jones
will hold down the tackle spots
on the second unit assisted by
Gross and big David Hill.
Dave Edwards, a sensational
performer at end for two years,
will return for his final year. Dave
is an all-around player and a dark
horse for all-America honors this
fall. He will start at left end, with
shifty Bob Foret at the opposite
flank. Jimmy Bonner, a converted
fullback, and Don Downs are the
ends on the second team. This po­sition
is another bright spot for
Auburn this season, as the Tigers
are three deep at both ends. How­ard
Simpson, a sophomore, and
Dennis McDuffie round out the
flankmen.
VETERAN Bobby Hunt appears
to have a slight edge on sophomore
Mailon Kent for the starting quar­terback
spot, experience being the
deciding factor, but Kent will no
doubt see plenty of action against
the Vols. He has come along fast
and is rated as the best passer on
the squad.
At left halfback will be another
prime All-America candidate —
Jimmy Burson. Jimmy was rated
the sophomore back of the year
in the SEC last year and seems to
get better with experience. T he
other halfback spot will be filled
by either Bobby "Turkey" Lee or
sophomore George Rose. It has

been said that Rose is the fastest
man ever to play for Auburn and
runs the hundred in less than ten
seconds.
Co-captain John McGeever has
been switched to halfback on the
second unit, but Johnny will prob­ably
see more action than any
other man on the team, according
to Tiger Sports Publicist, Norman
Carlson. "You can hardly call Mc­Geever
a second-team halfback,
because he'll probably play about
55 minutes of .each game. He'll be
at the defensive fullback or line­backer
position for both teams."
At fullback, it will be a sopho­more.
This is a hotly-contested
position with Larry Rawson run­ning
slightly ahead of Bill Bur­gess.
Burgess has been playing
steady football, however, and is
ready to move up to a starting
berth should Rawson falter.
AUBURN'S number one prob­lem
this season will be kicking.
Ed Dyas, the greatest place-kjcker
in college football history, was lost
to graduation and filling his shoes
will be quite a chore. Sophomore
Woody Woodall from Atlanta, Ga.,
will handle the PAT attempts.
Woodall is an extremely accurate
place-kicker but lacks the power
for long attempts. Junior Herman
Wilkes is a long, strong kicker,
but is not quite as true as Wood-all.
Wilkes will handle the kick-off
as well as the long field goal
attempts. ' •
The punting chores fall to Bo
Davis who is only an average pun­ter,
but will probably improve
• •
TOPPLE TENNESSEE is the word as the Tigers work through just one of the many long after­noons
on Drake Field preparing for the first game of the season. These workouts, many behind
closed doors, are part of the unglamerous side of a football career. Mornings, since the first of Sep­tember,
have also been filled with football as the team has been put through its paces twice a day.
There are no cheers for the boys on afternoons such as this one, and when they trudge off to the
showers around 5:30 or later they surely deserve them.
with experience: He will be step­ping
into the shoes of Joe Dolan,
who was always right up among
the leaders in the SEC in punting.
All in all, it should be a good
year for the War Eagles and the
names mentioned will more than
likely be the big ones on the Plain
this fall. "This will be our setup,
barring injuries, of. course, when
we meet Tennessee," says Jordan.
"As we said before, we expect to
field a most representative 'line,
which should hold its own in the
SEC, and an exciting backfield
which should improve as the sea­son
goes along."

[HUNT, KENT STAGE FIERCE BATTLE
FOR TOP QUARTERBACK POSITION
THE HEIR APPARENT
By DOYLE JONES
Plainsman Sports Writer
There has been much specu­lation
around Auburn about
who the regular quarterback for
1he Auburn Tigers will be this
season.
The two most prominent candi­dates
for the job are Bobby Hunt
and Mailon Kent. H u n t. as all
Auburn fans remember, was the
brilliant quarterback who two
years ago was named the SEC's
top sophomore.
Hunt gained 629 yards rushing
for the Tigers, averaging 5.7 yards
per carry. He was the regular
quarterback, the first sophomore
to h61d this position under Coach
Jordan. ,,
Last year though, Hunt re­turned
well underweight after
over-working himself during the
summer. He never seemed to get
started and lost the first-string
job to Bryant Harvard. He rolled
off, some neded long passes last
year, however, such as the 36-
yard pass to Don Machen which
set up an Ed Dyas field goal in
the 9-6 win over Georgia. The
185 lb. senior from Lanett, Ala.,
returns this year only to find
some more competition for the
quarterback job.
Mailon Kent, another man from
Lanett, is also vying for the posi­tion.
Kent was redshirted last
year after having just an.average
freshman year. He had a great
spring this year and took over
the number one job at quarter­back.
He was the most outstanding
player in the A-Day game last
spring. He threw two touchdown
passes and he also scored a TD
himself. He started as the first
string quarterback in practice
this fall until last Saturday when
Bobby Hunt was moved back up.
It has been the agressiveness of
Hunt in quarterbacking the sec­ond-
string team that has returned
him to the number one job. He
has led the second unit in beat­ing
the first string consistently.
Besides Hunt and Kent, the Ti­gers
possess a good pass spec­ialist
in Joe Overton. Overton
had a good spring after seeing
action last year in passing situa­tions.
He seems to have a knack
of spotting men open and deliv­ering
the ball on time and in
the right place. Joe should add a
lot to the Auburn offense.
Also, Woody Woodall, a soph-more
from Atlanta. Ga., enters
in the picture. Woodall. however
BOBBY HUNT
Intramural Participation Should Be Heavy;
Organizational Meetings Set By Evans
. . AND THE CHALLENGER
BY BOB MAYFIELD
Intramural Editor
Auburn is . off to another big
year and so is the intramural
sports program. Coach R. K.
Evans, head of Auburn's intra­mural
program said, "We expect
more men to participate this
year than ever before in Au­burn's
history."
Last year the sports program
came to a climax at the annual
track meet. SN, PKT, ATO and
PKA went into the meet with
good chances of winning the All-
Sports trophy, but SN and ATO
emerged the victo^- and runner-up
respectively for the second
straight year.
The first organizational meet­ing
of the year will be held for
the fraternity managers Monday
night, September 25, in the Union
Building room 315 at 7:00 p.m.
/ SI
MAILON KENT
is expected to be the field goal
kicker, in replacement of Ed
Dyas. He does not have the range
of Dyas, but is extremely accu­rate
in close. It is hoped that he
will aid the kicking department
greatly.
With the Hunt-Kent battle rag­ing
as it is, Auburn should have
one of the finest signal calling
corps in the SEC.
Tuesday, September 26, all Au­burn
men who are interested in
officiating intramural games are
asked to a meeting in the Union
Building, room 315, at 7:00 p.m.
Coach Evans plans to hold two or
three clinics • for the officials to
acquaint them with the rules
used in the Auburn intramural
football program.
This fall the program offers
football, volleyball and swim­ming.
Last season, SN captured
the football championship oyer a
strong PKT team. This year's
football season begins October
2 for the dormitory and inde­pendent
teams and October 3 for
the fraternities. Volleyball begins
October 16 and the swimmers
take their first dip on Oct. 17.

Jimmy Burson, the Tigers
speedy left halfback, was injured
in Tuesday's scrimmage but is now
in Auburn after an overnight stay
in a Columbus hospital.
Burson was piled up in scrim­mage
by the freshmen and came
up with a badly scratched eyelid.
The injury is not as serious as
had been feared at first. Jimmy
