Press Meeting
BY KATHERINE DAVIS
The Second Annual Publications
Workshop of the Southern Univer­sities
Student Government Asso­ciation
will be held Thursday and
Friday, October 19-20, at the Uni­versity
of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
The Student Union Building on
the University campus will be the
site of the meetings. Delegates
from 35 universities in eight
southern states will attend the
conference.
Last year SUSGA held an ex­perimental
publications workshop
at Millsaps College in Jackson,
Miss. The workshop was so suc­cessful
that it was decided to make
it an annual -conference.
Among the events planned for
the two days are an opening ses­sion
Thursday morning, 15 panel,
discussions (an increase of five
over last year's workshop), three
informal coffee sessions, a work­shop
banquet followed by a con­cert
Thursday evening, and a clos­ing
evaluation session ending at
noon Friday. The Thursday night
concert will feature the Buffalo
Bills of the Broadway production,
"Music Man," who have just re­turned
from Hollywood where they
made a movie version of the musi­cal
comedy. They will be backed
by the Auburn Knights.
Guest speaker at the opening
session will be Donald M. Ewing,
editor of the Shreveport Times.
Ed Crawford, executive associate
of the Southern Regional Educa­tion
Board, will be the banquet
speaker. Mr. Crawford is an Au­burn
graduate and a former
Plainsman editor.
Each workshop panel will con­sist
of two to five student panelists
and a consultant. The consultant
will be someone who works with
college publications or is from the
journalism profession. Each panel

Blue Key Prepares For Homecoming
As Traditional Events Take Shape
Blue Key Honor Fraternity is busy at work on prepara­tions
for the 1961 Auburn Homecoming, to be observed on
Oct. 28, according to Stan Sikes, president of Blue Key and
chairman of the event this year.
Highlights of the weekend will be the fraternity decora­tions
competition, Miss Homecom­ing
contest, presentation of. the
Player of the Day award, the
Homecoming dance, and the game
between Auburn and Clemson in
Cliff Hare Stadium.
The winner of the Miss Home­coming
contest will be decided in
the student election on Oct. 26, and
her name will be announced im­mediately
after tabulation of the
votes, rather than waiting until
half-time at Saturday's game. The
Circle K Plans Student Prayer Room;
Old A Phi 0 Bookstore New Location
BY EMMY FISHER
The Circle K. Club, one of the
service clubs on the campus has
announced plans for the conver­sion
of the Alpha Phi Omega book
room into a student prayer room.
The two organizations plan to
work together in conjunction with
other groups on the campus in or­der
to complete the project as soon
as possible.
Last year at one of the Circle K
meetings, one member brought up
the idea that many of the stu­dents
would appreciate a place to
go where they could get away
from the commotion of the typical
student life and enjoy a quiet
place to think. Although Auburn
is not a religious institution, the
students have always been en­couraged
not to forget the practice
of their religions. The prayer room,
will be open to all students 24
hours a day. On other campuses
in the state this idea has been car­ried
out with much success.
ATTENTION DECEMBER GRADS
Reservations for caps and gowns
must be made at the University
Book Store (Union Building) be­tween
the dates of Oct. 23 and
Nov. 3. The cap and gown rental
fee is payable to the University
Book Store when measurements
are taken.
After adopting the project, Cir­cle
K got in touch with the De­partment
of Buildings and Grounds
and found out that Alpha Phi
Omega was moving the location of
the student book exchange which
they sponsor to the basement of
the L Building. This would leave
vacant the room under Langdon
Hall which they had originally
used. Circle K decided to convert
this room into the prayer room.
Mrs. Alexander of the interior
design department has assigned
the problem of drawing up a plan
for the prayer room to her stu­dents.
Each one of the .students
will draw up an individual plan,
and they will be submitted to Cir­cle
K for a decision on which will
be used. The designs will probab­ly
be given to Circle K this week.
Several problems have b e en
encountered. Because it will neces­sarily
be non-denominational
there is a question as to what re­ligious
symbols should be used.
Circle K is working with religious
life, committee and the various
church youth groups, in order to
solve this and other problems.
Because a definite plan has not
been accepted, the cost of the pro­ject
is not known. Circle K plans
to undertake a fund raising plan
for this during the coming year.
five finalists competing for the
coveted title are: Carolyn Egge,
Madrid, Spain; Mary Forb'us, Alex­ander
City; Nancy Jackson, Bir­mingham;
Margaret Moore, Tal­iassee;
Sandra Riley, Atlanta. The
five finalists, along with last year's
Miss Homecoming, Carole Mea­dows,
will be presented during
half-time ceremonies at the Home­coming
game. .
The fraternity decoration com­petition,
long a tradition at Au­burn,
will be divided into two
groups again this year. Large
fraternities are in one group and
smaller fraternities, plus Magnolia
Hall, are in the other group. Judg­ing
for decorations honors will be
conducted Friday afternoon, Oct.
27, but the results will not be an­nounced
until half-time at the
game Saturday. ;.
The Player of the, Day and deco­rations
awards will be presented
at the all-campus Homecoming
dance in the Union Ballroom Sat-
IFC CITES PLANS
FOR COMING YEAR
A systematic rotation of pledge
swaps, "Dead Week," and plans
for the upcoming "Greek" Week"
were the primary topics of discus­sion
at the latest Interfraternity
Council meeting.
Committee chairmen were ap­pointed
for "Greek Week." Work
on the plans and program for this
event is now in progress.
The Council also debated the
possibility of a "Dead Week"
which advocates a quiz-free week
preceding final exams. "D e a d
Week" would be sponsored by the
Circle K Club.
Bill Lollar, IFC President, an­nounced
at this meeting that the
Phi Gamma Delta Colony has been
extended full membership in the
IFC. It was also announced at the
close of the meeting that member­ship
dues have a November 1

Editor, Georgia Tech TECHNIQUE §
ONCE AGAIN we approach the eve of the classic clash between
our arch-rival institutions—this time on the Grant Field gridiron.
Though we all look forward to what will probably be the most excit­ing
game of the year for our respective schools, such a spirited situa­tion
leaves open the door to harassment, vandalism, and possible vio­lence.
It is up to us, as students of two of the South's finest technologi­cal
institutions, however, to exercise the mental discipline and emo­tional
maturity which is said to mark indivduals of superior intellec­tual
ability. By this time, we should have all learned that rational
and- orderly behavior are recognizable characteristics of 'mature Indi--
viduals—let's pattern our behavior accordingly.
Most of you know that Tech underwent desegregation this fall.
This critical situation carries implications which involve not only
Techmen, but also those of you who will be visiting here this week­end.
It must be made clear to all concerned that any acts of vanda­lism
or violence cannot be tolerated. Since a single emotional out­burst
could conceivably result in an incident of major proportions, you
can be assured that more than a few persons treading the sidewalks
outside Grant Field Saturday will not be there to spectate. Don't
jeopardize your college career and the worth of our degrees by rash
or thoughtless actions.
As fellow students, we welcome you to the Flats, invite you to
our fraternity functions, and look forward to sharing an action-packed
afternoon with you. Last week our Yellow Jackets gave a part of
Hell back to the Blue Devils—this weekend Tech's hoping to give the
rest to a certain Auburn Tiger/ So in closing, I reiterate the phraseo­logy
of• my predecessors—"Give 'em Hell, Tech!"

Wreck Tech Parade
'Blasts Off Today
The annual Auburn "Wreck
Tech" parade will blast off Wed­nesday
at 4 p.m. The participants
will assemble at Cliff Hare Stad­ium
for a pep rally with Coach
Ralph Jordan speaking.
The parade is a tradition at Au­burn
and is held each year on the
Wednesday preceding Auburn's
football game with Georgia Tech.
The freshmen women wearing rat
caps and the pajama-clad fresh­man
men will march and chant the
old "Wreck Tech" refrain. They
will be led by the Tiger marching
band and the cheerleaders.
In past years all fraternities
have entered in competition for
the most oustanding float. This
year, however, the float contest
will be open to the independents
as well as the Greeks. The floats
cannot be mounted on wheels.
Judges for the floats will be anT
nounced by the Chamber of Com­merce.
The Council of Deans have ex­cused
all freshmen working on
floats from classes Wednesday af­ter
3 p.m. except those who have
labs.
The parade will start from the
stadium, march to Duncan Hall,
continue down Magnolia to' Col­lege
Street, march by Thach Hall
and back to the stadium. All Au­burn
students are urged to turn
out for the parade.
Activity Fee Provides $2
Students Heip Disperse
By JIM VICKERY
THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE paid each quarter,
which goes to support the many extra-curricular activities
here at Auburn, has been a source of question marks and mis­conception
for those students really interested enough to ask,
"What exactly is the student activity fee? Why do we pay it?
Where is it to be used?"
Where does this money go and
more important who decides?
It is the purpose of this article
and subsequent ones in this ser­ies
to answer these questions con­cerning
the student activity fee
and to dispel the cloud of mis-concept
and delusion that sur­rounds
this portion of our "col­lege
money." It is hoped that the
Auburn student might become
more familiar with what is done
with his money and of the many
advantages that are available to
him because of this small added
expense.
In the first place, you may won­der
why we are devoting so much
time and space for a series of ar­ticles
about an item as insignifi­cant
as the eight dollar and fifty
cent "sleeper" that rides into our
bank balances on the coat-tail of
the much larger tuition fee at
registration time. This fee is not
as insignificant as you would first
think. If you multiply the eight
dollar and fifty cent fee by the
total number of paid students ex­pected
to attend Auburn Univer­sity
this year (25,268), you can
get some idea of the gigantic pro­portions
this little fee assumes.
In fact, the amount to be budget­ed
and spent each school year
well exceeds $214,000! This is
your money; you should be con-

THE BODY given the power to
use and distribute this vast sum
of student money is a special al­locations
committee composed
of four faculty members and four
student representatives. The four
faculty members on the commit­tee
hold ex officio positions and
are as follows: Dr. Robert C.
Anderson, Executive Vice Presi­dent
of the University; Mr. James
E. Foy, Dean of Student Affairs;
Dr. Katherine Cater, Dean of
Women; and Dr. W. T. Ingram,
Business Manager of the Univer­sity.
The four student body re­presentatives
also ex officio mem­bers
are Ford Laumer, President
of SGA; Jim Haggard, Secretary
of the SGA; Stan Sikes, Presi­dent
Pro Tempore of the Senate;
and Nancy Culpepper, President
of the WSGA. As can be readily
seen students do have the au­thority
to use and to help bud­get
their own money. Contrary to
the general concensus, the student
body can control some of its purse
strings.
This committee convenes each
May, at which time the budget
requests for the-forthcoming year
are presented, having previously
been submitted to Herb Reinhart,
acting secretary of the group.
These requests from the seven­teen
Auburn organizations or ac­tivities
that receive money on
which to operate are reviewed
at that time and recommendations
by the group are forwarded to
President Ralph B. Draughon who
officially approves the final bud­get
as a matter of course.
The final budget is arranged so
that the seventeen groups are a l ­located
money in the following
proportions (see figure):

Not all of the activity fee, how-e

groups. Only six dollars out of
each eight are provided for this
purpose. Two dollars are used to
retire the bond issue which made
possible the erection of the Un­ion
Building. The other fifty
cents is put into a contingency
fund which is used each year to
defray the costs of damage to city
and campus property inflicted by
Auburn students. In recent years,
due to the marked good behavior
of Auburn attendees little of this
fund has been claimed.' In fact,
last year only about eight dollars
of the fund was used. When this

IRC PLANS UN WEEK ACTIVITIES
The International Relations
Club is planning a number of
activities to celebrate the found­ing
of the United Nations, 16
years ago on Oct. 24.
Under present world conditions,
the I.R.C feels that the U.N. has
a very important role to play and
desires to emphasize the impor­tance
of the U.N. to the students
and residents of Auburn. The
U.N. Week activities are being
planned both as a celebration of
U.N. Founding and as an oppor­tunity
to learn more about the
U.N. and other nations.
The first activity of U. N. Week
will be a U.N. celebration recep­tion
in the banquet room of the
Union Building on Friday, Oct.
20, at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is in­vited
for refreshments and en­tertainment.
The Mortar Board
organization will assist the I.R.C.
in this celebration.
An exhibit featuring art objects
from various countries will be on
display at the Union desk.
On United Nations Day, Oct.
24, a program on the whole of the
U.N. throughout the world will
be presented on Educational Tele­vision.
This program will con­sist
of a panel 'discussion with
Professor O. T. Ivey moderat­ing.
It will take place at 2:30
and 8:30 p.m.
, In addition to the above, radio
station WAUD will present a
program on the U.N.,.on Oct. 24,
at 4:45 p.m.
Any organizations desiring help
from the I.R.C. for a U.N. Week
program are encouraged to con­tact

College Center. The telephone
number there is TU 7-5657.
ing at the end of the fiscal year
is divided among the seventeen
groups according to the alloted
proportions.
* * *
TO BE SURE, the procedure
and allocating the student activi­ty
fee is much more complicated
and laborious than this article
would allow; but the point is
that the money is your money and
the more you know about it and
how it is used, the better off you
will be.
The complete budget for the
year 1961-62 is available for your
inspection in the Office of Stu­dent
Affairs. It is hoped that
you will avail yourself of the
opportunity to look behind the
"glass darkly" so that you might
better understand the amount of
time and effort employed to use
your money to the best means
possible for a more profitable
and enjoyable stay at Auburn.
The succeeding articles in this
series will examine each of these
seventeen groups or activities in
order to see and understand more
clearly how the money is actually
spent. We shall look into such
matters as the salary of S.G.A.
officers, the salaries of student
publications' editors, the use of
money by the athletic department
and by the band. We shall see
how free the activity fee makes
the student by relieving him of
the added cost of purchasing an­nuals
or newspapers or full-pric­ed
game tickets. The fee benefits
Auburn in a wealth of ways as
close examination will reveal.'

Air Force R0TC Increases Enrollment
By Lowering Physical Requirements
Additional quotas now are
available in Air Force ROTC to
attract more potential officers,
particularly those having engi­neering
and scientific training.
Students who formerly were phy­sically
unqualified may be accept­ed
into advanced ROTC due to a
reduction in physical requirements
for non-flying officers.
Already the additional quotas
for the advanced course at Auburn
University has increased the jun­ior
and senior AFROTC enroll­ment
by 80 per cent over 1960-61.
Col. Ralph I. Williams, USAF,
Commandant of the AFROTC at
Auburn, reports that a special plan
is in effect during the current
emergency to admit selected stu­dents
a quarter later than normal­ly,
provided they have five o.r
more quarters remaining after the
current fall quarter. He added that
the military portion of a quarter's
work can be condensed.
Vision deficiency is the primary
point where physical qualifications
have been reduced, said the Col­onel.
He said that the reduction
gives an opportunity to many
sophomores and juniors who did

THE DATING SEASON
I have recently returned from a tour of 950,000 American col­leges
where I made a survey of undergraduate dating customs
and sold mechanical dogs, and-I have-tabulated-ro^-findiugs
and I am now prepare^t6 tell you the'simplesecret ofsuccessful
dating. .-.,,, ,_.'.!"'^.'..
The simple secret is simply this: a date is successful when the
man knows how to treat the girl.
And how does a. girl like to be treated? If you want to know,
read and remember these four cardinal rules of dating:
/ . A girl likes to be treated with respect.
When you call for your girl, do not drive up in front of the
sorority house and yell, "Hey, fat lady!" Get out of your car.
Walk respectfully to the door. Knock respectfully. When your
girl comes out, tug your forelock and say respectfully, "Good
evening, your lienor." Then offer her a Marlboro, for what
greater respect can you show your girl than to offer Marlboro
with its fine flavor and exclusive selectrate filter? It will in­dicate
immediately that you respect her taste, respect her dis­cernment,
respect her intelligence. So, good buddies, before
going out on a date, always remember to buy some Marlboros,
available in soft pack or flip-top box in all 50 of the United
States and also Cleveland.
/K fi l i i f p k i§§ & M?Jm.
2. A girl likes a good listener.
Do-not monopolize the conversation. Let her talk while you
listen attentively. Make sure, however, that she is not herself
a good listener. I recollect a date I had once with a coed named
Greensleeves Sigafoos, a lovely girl, but unfortunately a listener,
not a talker. I too was a listener so we just sat all night long,
each with his hand cupped over his ear, straining to catch a
word, not talking hour after hour until finally a policeman camp
by and arrested us both for vagrancy. I did a year and a day.
She got by with a suspended sentence because she was the sole
support of her aged housemother.
3. A girl likes to be taken to nice places.
By "nice" places I do not mean expensive places. A girl does
not demand luxury. All she asks is a place that is pleasant and
gracious. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, for example. Or
Mount Rushmbre. Or the Taj Mahal. Or the Bureau of Weights
and Measures. Find places like these to take your girl. In no
circumstances must you take her to an oil-cracking plant.
4- A girl likes a man to be well-informed.
Come prepared with a few interesting facts that you can drop
casually into the conversation. Like this: "Did you know,
Snookiepuss, that when cattle, sfreep, camels, goats, antelopes,
and other members of the cud-chewing family get up, they al­ways
get up hind legs first?" Or this: "Are you aware, Hotlips,
that corn grows faster at night?" Or this: "By the way, Lover-head,
Oslo did not become the capital of Norway till July 11,
1924."
If you can slip enough of these nuggets into the conversation
before dinner, your date will grow too torpid to eat. Some men
save up to a half million dollars a year this way.

COMPULSORY ROTC-YES
The following was written by Colonel John Lockett, head of
the Army ROTC program at Auburn. It is a general essay justifying
compulsory ROTC. Some of his specifics were taken from the Army
program, but they seem to be applicable to all branches of ROTC.
The Features Editor of The Plainsman has asked me to set
forth the pro-side of the proposition that Compulsory Basic ROTC
is advantageous. I am glad to do this, for I believe very thoroughly
in the system under which ROTC functions at Auburn.
It seems to me that the benefits of Basic ROTC, compulsory
or voluntary, lie in two sectors; those accruing to the individual,
and the benefits that flow to the country as a whole.
Consider first the benefits to the individual. In Freshman year
he receives 30 classroom hours of instruction and 60 drill periods. In
class he studies the Principles of Organization; he learns how to
handle and maintain a rifle, and in a sub-course called "The United
States Army and National Affairs" he receives an orientation on
world affairs and his resultant responsibilities. All of these sub­jects
are of value to the student whether he cuts off military train­ing
forthwith, or goes on for a full career. Principles of organization
are the same in industry as they are in the Army, because the basic
human being is the same. Practical ability to handle a rifle prop­erly
is a skill that ties in with the interests of almost every young
man in his hunting and target shooting. It also promotes the coun­t
ry wide effort to increase safety, to cut accidents. We have been
told by our students that the U.S. Army and World Affairs course
is both interesting and thought-provoking. Again in Sophomore
Year, Map Reading, for the Fall Quarter is a knack that all of us
should have.. An appreciation of terrain adds to the enjoyment of
being outdoors whether one is there for military purposes or for a
picnic. This instruction is followed by Branch Tactics. In every­day
language this is an application of the principles of human psy­chology
to varied situations. The business man, no less than the
Army officer, is vitally concerned with these basic tactics.
On the drill field the individual is taught, or more properly is
reminded of, the old time virtues of neatness, courtesy and good
appearance. Precision of movement required there is closely al­lied
to the physical fitness we all seek. None of the points I have
enumerated as being taught are peculiar to the military. The civi­lian
in business or in a profession makes use of the same principles
day after day. Compulsory ROTC teaches, in company with academic
courses and family guidance, these desirable habits.
For the country as a whole, compulsory ROTC teaches to thou­sands
of young men the fundamental skills needed by a soldier. The

Compulsory 1JOTC At Auburn—A Universal And Abiding Question
AU Offers Three ROTC Plans
BY DOUG HESTOR
Auburn University is a land
grant school and is therefore obli­gated
to carry the ROTC program.
There are three programs offered:
that of the Army, Air Force, and
Navy.
The Army and Air Force pro­grams
differ somewhat from that
of the Navy. The Army and Air
Force offer a two or four year pro­gram
while the Navy is only on a
four year basis. Also, in certain
cases the Navy offers financial as­sistance.
The basic Army cadet is re­quired
to have two one-hour clas­ses
a week plus two drill periods.
He receives one' credit hour for
these four hours a Week. The Ar­my
cadet is required to use a rifle
in drill and to become proficient
in the use and care of this rifle.
The drill period is designed to -de^
velop the students reflexes, apr
pearance, and ability, to lead and
be led. The cadet. who . goes into
advanced will be entering a pro­gram
designed mainly, for the de­velopment
of officers for the TJni-
',ed States Army.
The advanced ROTG student
will receive three credit hours ex­cept
in the case of engineering
students who will still receive on­ly
one credit hour. The advanced
student will receive 90 cents a day
and will be required to attend one
summer camp, usually between his
junior and senior. The Army also
offers flight training to advanced
students. This training consists of
thirty-five hours of ground train­ing
and thirty-six hours of actual
flying time. " , " ' ""
The goal Of the Army ROTC
program, besides that of produc­ing
bfficers, is to familiarize the
student with basic facts concern­ing
the defense of his country, his
part in this defense, and an un­derstanding
of how a military ma­chine
works.
The Air Force ROTC is also di­vided
into Basic and -advanced
groups. One credit hour is given
the basic cadet for .two-class per­iods
a week and two drills a week.
The choice of advanced students
is based upon leadership, grades,
and physical fitness. The advanced
student attends four class periods
a week plus two drills a week. He
receives three credit hours for this
time except in the case of engi­neering
students who still receive
only one credit hour. The advanced
student receives 90 .cents a day.
Advanced students who are in the
pilot category are eligible for pilot
training free. They receive 35
hours of ground training plus 36
hours actual flight time.
As one of the Air Force officers
said, the AFROT/C perhaps sup­plies
a guidance that the student
misses when he leaves home for
school. To illustrate, he used the
number, of i.riots in other countries
that have been led by university
students' and things such as the
"angry young men" in England.
H6 maintained, that ROTC also
provides a gqal, He added that if
for no reason, the student should
be interested . because he will
someday be paying hard earned
dollars in taxes which- will go for
military use.
The Navy differs from the other
two .programs in that it is more
selective. In some cases the Navy
enables some students to attend
who would ordinarily not have
been able to. The Navy offers on­ly
the .four year program and is
not On the campus strictly to satis­fy
school requirements but to
commission officers into the Navy.
An Auburn graduate in NROTC is
given equal rank with those of
the Naval Academy.
There are two types of Naval
cadets. The regular cadets have
their tuition, fees, and textbooks

Genial Alumni Hall Housemother
Begins Second Year At Auburn
BY CATHI SLAUGHTER
Society Editor
Mrs. Verna Wilson, better
known as "Hoppy" began her sec­ond
year as housemother in Alum­ni
Hall this fall quarter.
Before she came to Auburn as
a dormitory mother she was an
SAE fraternity mother for two
years at Case Institute of Techno­logy
in Cleveland. "Hoppy" be­came
interested in this type of
work through her own children,
and her close connection with this
college as she lives in Opelika. Her
first job as SAE fraternity mother
came about while she was visiting
her daughter in Cleveland. She
answered an ad in the Cleveland
newspaper, and, as the boys at
Case were as much impressed with
her as Auburn has been, she was
given the job.
Always joking and laughing
with the students and girls in her
dorm, Mrs. Wilson stated that, of
course, any position such as she
held presented detailed work, and
problems, but the reward in the
work compensated very sufficient­ly.
"With the boys the job was
glamorous, as I was from tho
South and the fraternity prided
themselves on introducing me as
their Southern fraternity mother,"
Mrs. Wilson stated, "but I enjoy
Auburn very much as I am so
close to home and the students
seem friendlier here."
"Hoppy" answered that m a ny
of the girls do come and discuss
their problems with her and she
is glad they feel free to talk. She
believes that a dorm mother should
be positive, but always be under­standing,
patient, and take the
time to listen to any problems.
"Living and working with the
young makes me feel young—until
I try to keep up with them," she
laughed.

COMPULSORY R0TC-N0
The following was written by Jim Dinsmore, Features Editor of
The Plainsman. It is a general essay written from a student's and
cadet's point of view to give the reader an objective picture of Au-tyurn
ROTC, i.e. both side®. It is based on the premise that com­pulsory
ROTC under the present system is not justified and should
be abolished.
ROTC at Auburn is very good as far as the students are con­cerned.
We are obliged to take the opportunity to attend classes
and drills for a total of 260 hours, but for this we are given six
quarter-hours credit. (The Navy receives 15 hours credit for 170
hours because of a rigorous program.) The knowledge gained
from all phases of ROTC is invaluable to the 83';?, (figures for '61
Auburn Army ROTC only) who do not go into the advanced program.
In civilian life these students will have many opportunities to as­semble
or disassemble an M-l rifle or to identify a Russian Bomber
or a Russian submarine. And after two years of classes and drill
we will be in a better position to say that we do not want to wear
the uniform of Uncle Sam and make a career out of waging war or
defending our country against an enemy.
In ROTC they teach us that the best method for defense of
America is a strong retaliatory force, strong enough to scare off the
aggressor Russia. I am told they teach something very similar to
that in the Soviet Union. In class we are presented films showing
dramatic war pictures. Usually there is enough light to take notes
if, indeed, we don't lose ourselves in the exciting pitch of battle.
We are compelled to study for the ROTC tests if we want to
get out of the program. So we bring our books home and learn
and profit from the military lessons so vividly and explicitly por­trayed.
We put down our books and go to bed. For some reason we
very often forget to pray for, or think about, peace. No matter, we
will learn about that tomorrow.
We are supposed to attend drill twice a week, or rather I should
say "leadership lab." When we go we learn the fundamentals of drill
from an experienced and organized group of student officers. We
take great care to shine our shoes and make sure our uniforms
are neat and clean so we won't get demerits, which (in the Air
Force, at least) count one-fourth of a point off our final one-quarter-
hour grade. On the drill field we learn how to follow the
words of our officer as to right face, left face, and such. However,
it is also a training ground for our student officers, so sometimes
they make mistakes; but we are always understanding. We learn
to work as a team. Our espirit de corps is always immeasurably in-

A Statement Of Position
Due to the considerable controversy
which has surrounded the Plainsman dur­ing
the previous and the present school
years, we feel that it would behoove us to
explain our general outlook on the rights,
duties, and editorial perogatives of the col­lege
newspaper in general and the Plains­man
in particular. ,
We would like to deny the popular mis­conception
that the Plainsman should re­flect
the views of the Auburn student body.
The practical objection to this misconcep­tion
is obvious—it is impossible to ascer­tain
"student opinion" on any given issue.
More idealistically, we refuse to equate the
democratic concention of a free, responsible
press with the notion of a mirror or a house
organ. The Plainsman is intended to be
neither of these; it is intended to be an in­strument
of fair and umbiased news report­ing,
along with features and editorial com­ment
for which the editors, and the editors
"lone, are responsible.
Desnite events of last soring, there has
not been, nor will there be, so long as the
nr^sent management of the paoer is in con­trol,
any form of censorshit) or loss of free­dom
of the Plainsman. We should, and of­ten
do, seek the advice of peonle who we
fppl are aualifipd to give an oninion on the
s"hient in anestion. This, however, by no
means constitutes censorship, for we are
plwavs free to totally reject this advice and
fire at will.
We are, however, aware of the responsi­bilities
commensurate with freedom, in
such areas as libel, good taste, and general
journalistic ethics. We intend to live up to
these responsibilities to the best of our abil­ity.
Nevertheless, as in all things involving
human fallibility, mistakes have been and
will be made. We are prepared to assume
complete responsibility for these mistakes;
i we are not prepared to submit to censor­ship.
Both agreement and disagreement with
our views and policies are welcomed. In
fact, we would like nothing better than to
see students rise above the general level
of anathy which prevails on the campus
and submit letters to the editor and other
types of reasonable comment and opinion.
Columnists are free to express their own
opinions, not necessarily those of the paper,
in their columns, so long as they conform
to the basic responsibilities incumbent on
anv good newspaper or newspaper colum­nist.
At no time do we intend to engage in
controversy for controversy's sake; neither
do we intend to avoid an issue on which we
feel comment is needed simnly because it
is controversial or might give offense in
some auarters.
We hone that this statement will help to
Hear the air of many misconceptions about
the operation of the Plainsman, and that it
will, at least in a general way, define our
policy and position on many matters of in­terest
to the student body and others who
•^re concerned with the welfare of Auburn.
Letters To The Editor
Reader Thinks Auburn Deserves Better Entertainment
Than 'Second Rate Attractions' Offered Annually
Mw We AH Humbly GWe Thanks
WP feci that the following editorial, re­printed
from the Chattanooga Times, is
very apropos of the situation in Alabama
wi+h reaard to the much-needed reappor­tionment
of the state legislature. We whole­heartedly
endorse the views it expresses so
well.
With wonders never ceasing, the repre­sentative
of the Tennessee attorney general
has now conceded to the United States Su­preme
Court that the Tennessee Legisla­ture
ought to be reapportioned.
But he has no solution as to how it is to
be done, and says that even the simple tak­ing
of federal jurisdiction, which has work­ed
smoothly and effectively without an ac­tual
court order in Hawaii, Minnesota and
New Jersey, would create "chaos" in Ten­nessee.
The representative of the attorney gen­eral
savs that even though in this state one-third
of the voters elect two-thirds of the
legislators, voting rights are not being im­paired.
If thev.were, he declares, somebody

"Who (sic) would you indict?" he asks,
"Members of the Legislature? They are not
parties to the action (the lawsuit brought
bv 11 urban Tennessee voters, including
John R. McGaulev of Chattanooga)."
The representative of the attorney gene­ral
even contended, in answer to a question
by Mr. Justice Black, that it "would not be
a denial of due process" of law if the Gen­eral
Assembly should decree that a vote in
a rural county should count for 10 votes
and an urban vote for only one vote.
The representative of the attorney gen­eral
did say it would be morally wrong.
May we all now get down humbly and
give thanks.
Editor, The Plainsman
I read in the last issue of the
Plainsman where the entertain­ment
for the ODK Beauty Ball
was to be—or is to be—the Four
Saints.
I'm not one to complain, ordi­narily,
but I was wondering why
Auburn has such secondary en­tertainment
for its big social
events?
The Plainsman, in the article on
them, says they were on the Ed
Sullivan Show—well, for that
matter, so are monkey acts, bad
comics, and so forth.
I have a friend that attended
Queens College in Charlotte,
that's a girls' school, with only
500 students, and they have the
Kingston Trio. Ray Charles, the
Coasters, the Brothers Four, and
so forth. The same big names en­tertain
at Bama, Tech, Florida,
and so forth. Why can't we here
at A.U. have some of the same
entertainment, which, I'll be
willing to bet, 80 per cent more
attendance would be noted than
at some of the previous "dud"
acts that came to Auburn. Note­worthy
are Ralph Marterie of
last year, for instance.
I just think that A.U. deserves
better entertainment than it's
been getting here, and wonder
why we're second-rate in this
factor?

AMERICAN REVOLUTION '
Editor, The Plainsman
Toby Savage's editorial two
weeks ago states "The people who
are running around the country
trying to ferret out communist
infiltration have lost the spirit
of the American Revolution."
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. Our Revolution was
to free us, not to impose our
beliefs on others. The world Com­munist
revolution is the opposite.
Admission Testing . .
Use Of Entrance Exams Suggested
For Purpose Of Better Placement
By Ed James
It was interesting to note an
editorial appearing on this page
several weeks ago concerned with
the enrollment situation at Au­burn.
The article advocated the
use of the College Board Exami­nation
or some similar examina­tion
to curtail admission to those
who are capable of performing
work . demanded of them at the
college level. While Auburn, as
a state supported university, can­not
deny admission to capable
graduates of Alabama high
schools, she could, through em­ployment
of examinations such
as. the College Board and the
American College Testing Pro­gram,
expand her efforts to direct
those applicants with passing
scores into 4he courses for which
they would best be suited. For
those with below average scores

What Motivates College Attendance?
Conformity, Escape, Fear Suggested
By David Poynor
Wrecks And Their Inevitable Entourage
It has come to our attention that in many
of the recent traffic accidents around the
campus, large throngs of student onlookers
have impaired efficient handling of the sit­uation
by the police and caused danger to
themselves and others by overflowing into
the street and blocking traffic.
This problem should be remedied im­mediately
before serious consequences re­sult.
Although it seems to be a natural human
reaction to congregate around the scene of
an accident, this reaction must be controlled
at least to the point of staying out of the
way and off the street. We hope that stu­dents
will take it upon themselves to ob­serve
order in these cases and that respon­sible
student leaders will exert their in­fluence
in this direction.
Political Dynamics-A Healthy Condition
Auburn campus political parties, lacking
any moral or economic or generally idealis­tic
raison d'etre, naturally tend more tow­ard
fluidity than stability. This fluidity has
been typified by recent changes in party
affiliation by some fraternities and free-flowing
rumors of switches and contem­plated
switches by many groups.
This movement is both natural and heal­thy.
Since both campus political parties are
little more than self-perpetuating ends un­to
themselves, it seems eminently sensible
for any group, if it feels that it has been
getting a 'raw deal' or is otherwise unhap­py
with its political connection, to pull out
and join the other party with relative ease.
There are no real considerations of loy­alty
or party ethics involved when one
group changes its political allegiance at
Auburn. It is simply a question of which
party can do the most for that group. A dy­namic
situation in Auburn politics is healthy
and should be encouraged as long as it
does not approach a condition of chaos.
What is the giant of motivation
that causes a person to go to
college? What is the stimulating
force that every fall brings thou­sands
of high school graduates
crowding into the classrooms of
Universities?
There are varied factors which
contribute to the ever increasing
enrollment. The most important
should be the desire to achieve
a higher education.
Some students come to college
to escape from the controlling
hand of their parents. They want
to get away from the every day
explanations of where they are
going and when they will be
back. They want the freedom of
choice and a free rein in their
own activities.
Others come to conform with
the trend of our present society.
In other words they go to col­lege
purely and simply because
their best friends or their next
door neigbors are going and they
don't want to be different.
Fear is another motivating
force which drives, many students
toward the doors of college class­rooms.
They are afraid of having
to face the world and make de­cisions
that will be the guiding
light of their lives. By going to
college they will delay these de­cisions.
Desire to advance oneself is the
most important motivating - fac­tor,
but I am afraid that is not
present in the majority of stu­dents:
This desire to learn and
to know is the basis of a better
life and therefore a better world.
These people realize the impor­tance
of having a higlier educa­tion
in this rapidly changing
world of ours.
In the field of education we
are now faced with the gigan­tic
decision of whether to edu­cate
quality or quantity. The out­come
of this decision could well
be the foundation of our future
education system.
Our classrooms are already
overcrowded with students and
understocked with conscienious
instructors. There are thousands
of students, perhaps many with
outstanding abilities, who have
the doors of education slammed
violently in their faces because
there is no room for them.
If the present steady increase
in enrollment is allowed to con­tinue,
there must be appropria­tions
to provide for classrooms
and instructors to accommodate
them. Without these provisions
our educational system will enter
a slump from which recovery will
be most difficult. This must not
happen if we are to maintain and
increase our position in world
leadership.
a guidance or counseling service
could be established to advise
the student and his parents of
his limitations and inability to
master college work. A program
such as this which would, so to
speak, lay bare facts on the line
and possibly save the parents
and the student time, trouble,
and money.
As has been said time and
again, examinations of the type
mentioned above do not always
present a true picture - of a stu­dent's
ability. Georgia and Flor­ida,
who have led'the southern
region in the field 'of entrance
examination, seem to have reach­ed
a workable solution to the
problem through the use of the
College Board, (in Georgia's case)
and a state administered test in
Florida's together with high
school' records.
The Georgia Regency - Ssytem
administers the College Board
Exam on a state-wide basis.
These scores, together with a stu­dent's
high school record are
combined and weighed to pro­duce
a final score. In addition to
this, each high school in the
state receives the mean scores
required on the College Board
Exam that are necessary to main­tain
a C average in a particular
college. For example, the ver­bal
mean score for the entire sys­tem
is 397, arid the math mean
score is 439 (based on a maxi­mum
of 800).
The Florida System administers
a state-wide examination which is
taken by every high school sen­ior.
Each college is free to es­tablish
its own cutoff score. A
person not attaining . this mark
on the exam is advised to attend
a smaller school'or. Orie with a
lower cutoff scorS. .If he does
acceptable work there he may be
admitted at a l a t e r date.
Auburn administers the ACTP
to incoming freshmen, and this
score together with the co-op­erative
English and math score
is used for placement purposes.
There are no restrictions placed
on high school graduates of Ala­bama.
For out of state, students,
however, a C average is required
on high school work pfus being
in the upper half on one's gradu­ating
class. If none of these re­quirements
are met, a 17 or above
is required on the ACTP (based
on a maximum of 38).
Although Auburn is, to a de­gree,
able'to limit enrollment, use
of examinations such as the Col­lege
Board or the ACTP would
aid greatly in placing those clas­sified
as gifted through remedial
in their. proper place.

Panhellenic Must Lead The Way ...
Critical Need For New Sororities Seen
As More Aspirants Find Doors Closed
By Harry Wilkinson
Definite weaknesses are appar­ently
present in the sorority sys­tem
at Auburn. The number of
women students has continued to
increase, while the number of
sororities has remained static.
Sororities are the primary
source of social contact for Au­burn
women. However, we read
each year of the growing number
of girls out for rush who are not
pledged. The eleven sororitiles
presently on campus often do
not have adequate facilities for
the quotas of women that they
are now allowed, much less for
the many who are turned away.
This fact shows that the weak­ness
does not lie in the hands of
the existing sororities.
The university has recognized
the crying need for facilities for
more women students, and has
new dorms in the construction
stage. If the sorority system con­tinues
to maintain the "status
quo," an even far greater number
of women will be prevented from
making the sorority ties that they
desire. With the advent of new
dorms and 'the conversion of Au­burn
Hall, it seems like there
would be no reason for new so­rorities
not to colonize on this
campus..
A major share of the burden
for the solution of this problem
must be placed in the hands of
the Panhellenic Council. This
group should contact national so­rorities
not on this campus, and
let them know the advantages
their sorority would have in
placing a chapter on the Auburn
campus.
There appears to be a majority
of women here who soundly ap­prove
of this measure. However,
there .seems to be no active pro­gram
to this effect underway.
Our present sororities are the
only ones who have Panhellenic
representation. It is their duty
to get this new sorority program
underway.
Put the shoe on the other
foot. Suppose you couldn't make
a sorority tie because of limited
quotas. It's hardly a pleasant
thought. See your Panhellenic
representative and advocate a
plan for the encouragement of
new sororities, Take pride in see­ing
positive action made to oblite­rate
this social error from the
Auburn campus!

Education Advisory Group Formed
To Promote Spirit, Make Suggestions
BY FRAN COOPER
Last year the Advisory Com­mittee
to the President of the
School of Education was estab­lished.
This fall it has began
work in earnest. It was formed
to help develop the spirit of a
true professional school, to eval­uate
and make suggestions about
the School of Education, to form
a better medium between the stu­dents
and faculty members, and
to determine'the type of student
organization that is needed.
This committee is composed of
a representative from each de­partment,
one faculty member,
and one representative from the
Office of the Dean. It has the fol­lowing
membership: one repre­sentative,
agricultural education;
one representative, psychology;
three representatives, elementary
education; five ^representatives,
secondary educatjpn.. Dr. Wilbur
Tihcher regreseritlrthe: Office of
the Dean on the committee, but
the faculty representative has not
been appointed yet.
John Thompson, Carolyn An­drews,
Betty Burks, Jan Howell,
Carolyn Jordan, Judy. Estes, Ann
Lyle, Mary Jane McMillian, Char­les
Hesse, Ronald,. Shumack, and
Marie McKinley were appointed
to this committee Spring Quarter
and will serve until Winter Quar­ter,
when the npw members will
be appointed. These members
were appointed by the President
of the School of Education sub­ject
to the approval of the Dean.
This committee has discussed
the problem of cheating, and it
has tried to help correct this
problem by talking with the fac­ulty
and the students about it.
Various other things that the
committe has worked on are the
Faculty Advisory System, courses
required for students, school
spirit and student morale. It is
the hope of the Auburn authori­ties
that this committee will be a
success and will eventually form­ulate
a student council within the
School of Education.

Compulsory ROTC—Yes . . .
(Continued from Page 3)
Basic Course does not turn out officers, but a grounding is a start.
Compulsory ROTC enables young men to make an informed decision
as to whether or not they wish to continue with further instruction
in the Advanced Course with a view to a Reserve Commission or a
life-time career in the Army. It thus is the feeder for the Advanced
Course which in turn furnishes some 60% of the career officers in
the Army. In the Auburn ROTC Unit ten of the twelve officers are
ROTC graduates. Finally this: the ROTC teaches patriotism. It
is never unfashionable to be patriotic, to say so, and to demonstrate
patriotism.
Compulsory ROTC—No . . .
(Continued from Page 3)
creased when we find out that the day's drill has been canceled
because of rain.
Sometimes we rebel at the idea of compulsory ROTC because
we don't like to be' compelled to join the program. Sometimes it is
hard for us to see the advantages of this program. But we stick
with it because of patriotism—which, it does seem, could be better
fostered with a course teaching peace, understanding, and diplomacy.

Here, Where 30,000 Cheered Wildly,
A Dedicated Few Run Silently-Alone
BY JOHN WALLACE
Managing Editor
I t 's late on a fall afternoon in Cliff Hare Stadium. The wind has
a cutting edge and the fading sun does little to warm the spirit. With
each deep breath you can feel the cool air biting into your lungs.
At one end of the field is a group of boys. Some are sittinn on the
ground straining to touch their toes, relaxing, then straining again.
Some are on their feet, jumping, twisting, stretching. A few are jog­ging
briskly down the track with baggy sweat suits flopping in the air.
A couple of gentlemen come strolling from the field house, one
with a clipboard in hand, the other with a sly grin on his face and
with his hands in the pockets of a jacket which has A-U-B-U-R-N
spelled out in bright orange letters across the front. Both have stop­watches
around their necks.
In the stands maybe a dozen men move slowly up and down the
rows clearing away the litter where less than a week before 30,000
people sat and stood and cheered. Now there are only a dozen moving
slowly up and down- the rows.
The boys gather around the men with the stop watches around
their necks and A-U-B-U-R-N across the front of their jackets. The
elder of the two men reads from the clipboard. The boys move to the
side of the field and slip out of the baggy sweat suits. They jump up
and down on their toes swinging their arms in windmill fashion. They
jog a few paces down the cinders and back again. The cold air whips
around the bare legs and through the thin track suits. They form a
loose file at an obscured line and at a single command they start
running towards the end of the stadium.
Under the stands, out the gate and down the paved road that
edges the stadium they run, two or three abreast, now single file, now
stretching into a broken line. The sun's lower and the wind's colder.
Breath comes short and legs tire. Forty-five minutes later or maybe an
hour later they return after coverinn several miles of dirt roads and
trails over a quiet Auburn countryside.
I t ' s dark and cold, hands are brittle, ears tingle, legs ache. A hot
shower and that's the day. The stands are empty. That's cross-country
running. It takes a strange breed—dedication and an uncontrollable
desire to r u n and r u n and run and run.

THE WESTERN RAILWAY OF ALABAMA
with any other opponent, this is
n a t u r a l l y one of Auburn's biggest
games.
Of the 63 games in previous
years, Auburn has won 28, lost
31, tied 4. This is not an unim­pressive
record considering the
fine teams Georgia Tech man­ages
to t u r n out year after year.
This year is no different as the
Tech game is expected to be the
toughest on the schedule for the
Tigers. Grant Field is known to
be tough on Tech opponents and
will surely not be a great help
to the visiting Plainsmen.
Tech officials claim to have
t h e best offense they have field­ed
in many years. Two of the
best quarterbacks in the confer­ence
will be conducting t h e strong
offense for the Yellow Jackets.
Stan Gann, r a t e d as an excellent
passer, will be at t h e No. 1 q u a r ­terback
position. Gann is also
considered to be a fine elusive
runner. Then there's Billy Loth-ridge,
a very good quarterback,
and kicking specialist as well.
Lothridge kicks e x t r a points and
is very effective on his field-goal
attempts. Probable All-Confer­ence
halfback, Billy Williamson
will be a continuous t h r e a t to the
Auburn defense. Williamson is a
fine offensive halfback w i t h great
speed and an ability to move the
ball.
This year Tech has come up
w i t h a much bigger line without
loss of speed. The big line is
r a t e d as one of Tech's best in r e ­cent
years. Coaches say t h a t Tech
has one of the best set of guards
in the country, and this would
be a compliment to any team.
The improved line alone would
add to the s t r e n g t h of the team
tremendously.
Every t e am must have a weak­ness,
and Tech's happens to be
at the ends. Even these positions
a r e being well-filled as of late.
Sophomores Ted Davis and Billy
Martin have come through to do
a good job for Tech at the end
spots, although t h e y do not have
a lot of experience.
I n last year's contest, Auburn
won a t h r i l l e r 9-7 on a field goal
by Ed Dyas. The Tigers took the
opening kickoff and marched all
t h e way for a f i r s t - q u a r t e r touch­down.
Dyas kicked his fieldgoal
and A u b u r n led 9-0 at t h e end of
t h e first quarter..
Then the Plainsmen t u r n e d it
i n to a defensive b a t t l e and settled
for nine points of t h e i r own. They
managed to hold Tech to seven
points for a w e l l - e a r n e d victory,
Another thriller is in line for
t h i s . y e a r . A sellout crowd is ex
pected to be on hand to view
t h e 64th meeting of t h e two rivals.
The Tigers of '61 h a v e a chance to
b e t t e r Auburn's won-lost lifetime
record against Georgia Tech.
Whether they do it or not awaits
to be seen Saturday in Atlanta.

SEC Wrap-Up
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Southeastern Conference foot­ball
elevens fared well over the
weekend, winning nine and losing
only three as all the teams played
non-conference opponents.
The Auburn Tigers, rebounding
from their loss to Kentucky,
crushed Chattanooga 35-7 w i th
quarterback Bobby Hunt directing
the attack.
The senior signal-caller from
Lanett, showing the form that
placed him on the all-SEC soph­omore
team in 1959, ran for two
touchdowns and threw to team­mate
Dave Edwards for another
in leading the offensive efforts for
the Tigers.
Meanwhile, over in Atlanta, the
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets scor­ed
three touchdowns in the last
half to shut out the visiting Duke
Blue Devils 21-0.
Alabama's Crimson Tide won
their fourth straight game of the
season by downing Roman Gabriel
and his North Carolina State team­mates
26-7 to put the finishing
touch on a successful Homecoming
weekend at Tuscaloosa.
Mississippi, rated No. 1 in last
week's Associated Press poll,
stormed pass the Houston Cougars
47-7 as the Rebel student section
chanted "We're still No. 1."

Tigers Blast Nooga
With Late Surge
BY DAVE WALL
Assistant Sports Editor
The fired-up Auburn Tigers, af­ter
leading only 7-0 at the half,
came back with an avalanche of
touchdowns late in the game, to
smother the spirited, but out-manned
Chattanooga Moccasins
here last Saturday.
Bobby Hunt turned in a superb
performance at quarterback rush­ing
17 times for 84 yards, scoring
two touchdowns, and completing
7 of i6 passes for 75 yards and a
touchdown.
Auburn was knocking on touch­down
door three times in the first
quarter before finally pushing
across a score.
In the opening moments of the
second quarter, Auburn had push­ed
down to the . Moccasin one-yard
stripe behind Hunt and John­ny
McGeever when Larry Rawson
fumbled after crossing the goal
line. George Mayo pounced on the
pigskin for Chattanooga and
stopped the Tiger drive.
AUBURN END Dave Edwards had a little difficulty with the
pass which he dropped in the end zone in last week's game with
Chattanooga. The difficulty is on the right hanging onto his arm.

Hitchcock Selected . . .
(Continued from page 6)
Press reports, Hitchcock did not
seek the job, but "the Orioles
went after him." Commenting on
his selection, Hitchcock said, "It's
a real thrill being named man­ager.
I thank the Orioles for may­be
taking a chance on me."
The Opelika native, and a pop­ular
man around Lee County,
succeedes Paul Richards who quit
to become manager of the new
Houston team in the National
League.
Hitchcock is making his major
league debut after directing Van­couver
to a runner-up position in
the Pacific Coast League last sea­son,
an accomplishment which
won him manager-of-the-year
honors.
He started his baseball career
with Kansas City in the Ameri­can
Association in 1939 and later
played with Detroit, Washington,
St. Louis, Boston, and Philadel­phia,
all of the American League.
His major league batting average
was .243 for a period of more than
10 years.
Pie coached the Detroit Tigers
for six years and became highly
respected for his ability to spot
and correct batting weaknesses.
NOTICE
Due to the tremendous score
compiled by the Plainsman squad
in the battle (Ha!) witfC the piti­ful
Glomerata team we are unable

The Plainsmen eventually scored'
late in the second quarter on a 48-
yard march. After Hunt had con­nected
oh aerials to Edwards for
13 and McGeever for eight, Raw-son
blasted up the middle on the
draw play to the one-yard line
from where Hunt personally
sneaked in with 3:40 showing on
the clock. l
Bobby Lee returned a punt 13
yards to the Moccasin 49 in the
third period and the Tigers got
rolling again. Don Machen, Mc­Geever,
and Rawson pounded the
center of the line to the 27 and on
the next play Hunt fired to Ed­wards
who made a spectacular
catch at the nine. McGeever then
ran up the middle for five and
Hunt slipped into the end zone on
the option play standing up.
Trailing 14-0 the scrappy Chat-tanoogans
took the following kick-off
and marched 75 yards for a
touchdown by Cary Henley's bril­liant
17-yard payoff jaunt on the
draw play.
At this point, the roof fell in
on Scrappy Moore's gallant team.
The first stick of dynamite was a
six-yard look-in pass for a touch­down
from Hunt to Edwards. Four
plays later, fullback Larry Laster,
who played a brilliant defensive
game, picked off a Don Washburn
pass and galloped 41 yards into the
end zone for another Tiger score.
Joe Overton and the second unit
took over late in the game and
finished off the scoring. Overton
stepped back and fired a beautiful
pass to George Rose who dropped
the ball on the 'Nooga five yard
line and the crowd groaned. On
the very next play, however, Rose
decoyed the Moc secondary on a
similar maneuver and this left
halfback Sammy Mitchell wide
open to take Overton's pas's and
scamper in the end zone.

You:
Why the gold bars?
Future Yon:
You?re needed... just as your father and grandfather
were. It's an obligation that a lot of qualified college
men have to meet. If we don't... .
You:
All right. But what can I do for the Air Force?
Future You:
The Air Force needs college trained men and women'
as officers. This is caused by the rapidly advancing
technology that goes with hypersonic air and space
flight. Your four years of college have equipped you
to handle complex jobs.
You:
Say I was interested...how can I get to be an officer?
Future You:
You know about Air Force ROTC and the Air Force
Academy. Then there's the navigator training pro­gram.
You've probably heard about Officer Training
School...where the Air Force takes certain college
graduates, both men and women, and commissions
them after three months of training.
You:
Starting salary is important. What about that?
Future You: ;
Add it up. Base pay, tax-free allowances, free medi­cal
and dental care, retirement provision, perhaps
flight pay. You don't have to be an eco major to see
it adds up to an attractive package.
You:
I've been flunking about getting my Master's.
Future Yout
As an officer you can apply for the Air Force Institute1
of Technology. At no cost, and while on active duty
some officers may even win their PhD. degrees.
You:
Tell me more.
That's the job of your local Air Force Recruiter.
Or write to Officer Career Information, Dept.
SCI 10, Box 7608, Washington 4, D.C., if you
want further information about the navigator
training or Officer Training School programs.

HUNT HAS ONE OF BEST DAYS'
RETURNS TO SOPHOMORE FORM
Bobby Hunt, having one of his best days since his celebrated
sophomore year, led t h e Auburn Tigers to a 35-7 romp over the Moc­casins
of the University of Chattanooga here last Saturday. His play
was outstanding enough to win for him this week's "Plainsman Player
of the Week."
Hunt scored two of the Tigers' five touchdowns and passed to
Dave Edwards for a third. In addition, he carried the ball for a total
of 84 yards and a five-yard-per-carry average. This was exceeded
only by Cary Henley, Chattanooga's great fullback. Hunt also picked
up an additional 75 yards by way of seven aerial completions.
Bobby broke the scoring ice late in the second quarter with a
one-yard sneak up the middle after he had directed the t e am through
a series of plays that started on the 'Nooga 48-yard line.
Midway of the third quarter, he went over left tackle for five
yards and for the second Auburn tally and completed a pass to End
Dave Edwards from six yards out to start the malee of Auburn scoring
in the last quarter.
Coach Jordan said of Bobby's performance, "I think Hunt played
his best game since he was a sophomore. I believe it will give him
and the team the confidence they .really need to get ready for Tech
next week."—McCAY.

Writer's Percentage
Amateur predictors Ivan Zajc and an obvious impersonator who goes by the alias Furman
Bisher were the top "outsiders" in this week's predictions but once again the Plainsman sports staff
proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that, by and large, we can out-predict any proportional amount
of inexperienced flunkies! Bob Mayfield, Intramurals Editor, had an incredible 12 out of 12 record
,on last week's games while the aforementioned Zajc and "Bisher" came up with respectable 11 for
12 scores. Keep 'em coming though, non-professionals, we want to prove our point.

WEDNESDAY — LAST DAY
Several Bumped To
Defeated Ranks
In IM Football
BY BOB M A Y F I E L D
Intramurals Editor
SN, PKT, SPE,-and ATO look
like the strongest contenders for
the league championships in fra­t
e r n i t y football as all remain u n ­defeated.
However, SN of league 1 h a d a
rough time with AP winning by
a slim score of 13-7. In the same
league, SP knocked off previously
undefeated TC, 7-6, with John
Donehoo and Bill McKnight lead­ing
the way.
Ine league 2 DC r a n over DU by
an 18-0 margin in a warm-up for
next week's battle with PKA.
League 3 h a d an easy week with
only two games being played.' SPE
barely won over OTS by a trim
7-0 score. DTD picked up their
first victory of the season by
downing DSP, 12-0.
ATO took command of league
4 by sneaking past a fighting SC
team, 9-6. The only other game in
league 4 was won by KA. The
KA's took command from the first
whistle and passed to a 13-0 v i c ­tory
over KS.
In the independent leagues 1,
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 the leaders are
Div. D, Div. U, Div. A, Div. B,
Navy and Wesley, respectively. In
league 2, Div. U has had two i m ­pressive
victories within the last
week, defeating Div. C, 7-0, and
and Div. E- 26-13.
ATO, last year's swimming
champs, and SAE a r e tied in t he
swimming competition. Both have
qualified six men in t h e first pre-,
liminary trials. DC is right behind
them and t h e second trials and t he
finals should be very interesting
to watch.
