CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL NAMED AS THEME
FOR VILLAGE FAIR; BEARDS ARE IN ORDER
By JIM BULLINGTON
Managing Editor
The Civil War Centennial will be the theme of Auburn's
1961 Village Fair, according to Bobby McCord, Village Fair
general chairman.
"Our plans are not yet complete," says McCord, "but
action is now being taken to work out plans for everyone
to grow a beard for Village Fair.
We also hope to, get some Con­federate
uniforms and some per­iod
costumes' for girls."
B i g - n a m e entertainment is
planned for both nights of the
Village Fair weekend, April 14
and 15. T h e Inter-Fraternity
Council will bring in entertain­ment
for Friday night and the
Village Fair committee plans to
bring someone for Saturday
night. Entertainers are expected
to be named in the near future.
HIGH SCHOOL juniors as well
as seniors will be invited to at­tend
Village Fair this year. "In
the past we have only invited
seniors," says McCord, "but this
year we felt that juniors should
be invited too. High school stu­dents
are finding it necessary to
apply for college admission more
and more early because of in­creasingly
crowded conditions,
and so we feel that most seniors
will have already made their
choice of schools by April. There­fore,
we decided to invite the
juniors while we still have a
chance to influence their deci­sion."
Invitations are being sent to
about 400 high schools through­out
Alabama and parts of Geor­gia.
This means that approxi­mately
50,000 high school stu­dents
will be invited to attend
Village Fair.
IT IS PLANNED for each
School at Auburn to put on
hourly panel discussions to in
form the high. schoolers about
the nature of the courses and
other pertinent information about
thai particular School. Panels are
also planned in the Union Build­ing
on student government, pub­lications,
and other phases of stu­dent
life.
A parade is scheduled for Sat­urday
of Village Fair. Fraterni­ties
are being asked to enter
floats, and several high school
bands are being asked to partici­pate.
Other activities on tap for Vil­lage
Fair include a pageant along
the lines of the Centennial
theme; the Spring Show, "Caro-sel;"
a program by the men's
glee club at the Union patio Sat­urday
morning; and a baseball
game with the University of
Georgia.
ACOIA DELEGATES
All persons wishing to be ACOIA
delegates should come by the Stu­dent
Government office this week
and register. Council of Deans ex­cuses
from class will be given to
all Conference delegates.
'Loveliest of the Plains'
THE AUBURN WEATHER has been so unpredictable of late
that lovely Fran Fulghum can't decide whether to head for Che-wacla
or to don her rain togs. Fran calls Thomaston, Ga., home.
She is a Phi Mu and a sophomore in home economics.

Vet Students Win
Upjohn Awards
Two Alabama veterinary medi­cal
students are winners of the
1961 Upjohn awards at Auburn
University. They are James Knox
Montgomery and Jack Delton
Goodman.
The Upjohn Co. annually makes
the awards to two graduating
seniors in the School of Veterin­ary
Medicine for proficiency in
the large animal clinical and
small animal clinical studies.
Montgomery was selected as top
man among the small animal
clinicians, while Goodman was
judged first among the large
animal clinicians.
Each received a fully equipped
physician's case, a certificate and
$50 in cash.
Two Upjohn lecturers, Dr. J. L.
Davidson and Dr. Kenneth Haas,
gave lectures to the senior veter­inary
students l a s t Wednesday,
and feted them with a banquet
Wednesday night.
McGowan will speak on world
trade, with special emphasis on
the Caribbean area, at 1 p.m.,
Friday, April 7. His position as
State Docks director gives him
wide knowledge in this field. The
Mobile State Docks is the largest
port on the Gulf of Mexico, by
volume of trade, with the excep­tion
of New Orleans.
A graduate of the University
of Alabama, McGowan spent two
years at England's Oxford Uni­versity
as a Rhodes scholar.
McGowan has held several im­portant
positions in Alabama
state government. He has been a
member of the state legislature
from Butler County, and served
as Alabama Conservation Direc­tor
under Governor Gordon Per­sons.
In addition to his work in pub­lic
life, McGowan is also a suc­cessful
businessman. He is the
executive vice-president of the
W. T. Smith Lumber Co. of Chap­man,
Ala., which is the largest
pulp-producing lumber mill in
the United States.
Cunningham
Foresight Of Auburn Professor Following World War II
Led To Establishment Of Unique Servomechanisms Lab
Ralph Cunningham
Named To
Vision and adequate funds work together to reach many
institutional goals in universities. At Auburn University a
professor's vision and AtomicEnergy Commission grants ac­complished
one such goal. That was the establishment of a
control engineering or automation laboratory.
Engineers in general refer to
the equipment in the lab as ser­vomechanisms.
Such equipment
can be described as a group of
devices which are used in an
automatically controlled system.
In many cases a servomechanism
Auburn's IBM Computor Being Used
In Grading Quizzes; Could Start Trend
BY JAMES ABRAMS
Managing Editor
Burning the midnight oil may
be on the way out as far as pro­fessors
are concerned. That ap­plies,
however, only to quiz grad­ing
at Auburn University.
Professor Edwin R. Ashworth,
a Purdue Industrial Engineering
graduate of 1950, is using the IBM
650 computor to grade quizzes.
Recently, using this method, Ash­worth
scored 10 test papers in­volving
a total of- 200 questions in
a little less than 10 seconds. This
innovation could be expanded over
a campus-wide basis, even to in­clude
mass grading for education­al
TV courses.
If .the p.rpcess is. employed, the
professor makes up the quiz us­ing
multple choice type questions.
The correct answers are placed

intramural sports man-on
a punch card and then fed in­to
the computor.
Students taking the quiz mark
their answers on punch cards,
along with class hour and student
number for identification pur­poses.
These cards are run through
the computor and not only is the
grade calculated, but the number
correct, identification number and
class hour.
The computor, in.grading one
quiz, goes through 868 steps in a
little less than one second. 72,000
questions can be graded in one
hour.
Although the type of quiz is
limited to multple choice ques­tions,
Ashworth contends that a
carefully analyzed choice quiz is
harder than the essay type. By
using the computor, a teacher can
determine the precentage of diffi­culty
of each question and the
ability of the question to discrimi­nate.
If it is found that more stu­dents
failing a quiz get a question
right, than students making A's,
then the question is not a good
one.
In this case, it would mean that
either the wording of the ques­tion
was faulty or the F student
made a lucky guess.
Industry's big trend today is
using the computor to determine
the soundness of decisions. A two-day
seminar, to be held at Auburn
next quarter will feature a Busi­ness
Decision Game.
This "game" consists of teams
representing companies, competing
against each other to see which
team can make more money, raise
production, or increase sales. Af­ter
studying a company's situa­tion,
the team wil make a decision,
and feed it into the computor. The
computor figures a financial state­ment
on the basis of the decision.
One day on the computor in this
type of game is equivalent to 10
years in real-life business.
may be considered as a motor
which is controlled automatically
by a feeble signal. Examples of
other types of servomechanisms-may
be the thermostats that con­trol
the heating of buildings or
the float control mechanism in a
commode tank, or the devices
which control the firing of mili­tary
weapons.
* * •
DURING World War II serv­ice,
Henry Summer was intrigued
by the servomechanism as ap­plied
to radar systems. He believ­ed
that great emphasis would and
should be placed in that area. In
post-war years he came to Au­burn
to teach in the electrical en­gineering
department. Although
funds were limited, he originated
a laboratory plan for the teach­ing
of servomechanism on both
the graduate and undergraduate
levels. Eventually, the Atomic
Energy Commission approved two
grants amounting to about $65,000
for buying the equipment and as­sociated
apparatus to develop the
labs.
With money to purchase equip­ment,
Summer found that some
of it was not even in existence.
A New York firm however, found
a challenge in the purchase order.
The results were laboratories full
of newly designed servo equip­ment.
It made Auburn one of the
few schools to have complete
.aboratories in conjunction with
courses offered in servomechan­ism.
So impressed was the manu­facturer
that he began marketing
iimilar models of the equipment
chat is adapated for instruction
according to Summer's specifica-
-ions. Last year Summer con­ducted
a control systems engi­neering
educational symposium in
New York in connection with ap­plication
and use of the equip­ment.
Use of servomechanism is a
regular part of the instruction in
Auburn's electrical engineering
department now. It is a good
teaching aid in that it coordinates
many a r e a s of engineering
science.
» * *
THE EQUIPMENT will aid in
conducting research that is al­ready
proposed. It is indirectly
responsible for attracting new
members to the staff and it in­creases
the professional stand­ing
of the school.
Empty Spirit Post
Ralph Cunningham has been
appointed new Superintendent of
Spirit by Gene Driver, president
of the student body. His appoint­ment
came after the resignation
of the former Superintendent of
Spirit, Tommy Crawford, and
Will last through the current
school year.
The Superintendent of Spirit, a
member of the president's cabi­net,
is responsible for arranging
pep rallies and decorations, works
with the cheerleaders, and works
with the spirit committee on plans
and ideas for keeping student
spirit at a high level throughout
the year. He is also chairman of
the committee which chooses new
cheerleaders each year.
Cunningham, a junior chemical
engineering major from Birming­ham,
has been active in other
campus activities here. He is vice-president
of the School of Chem­istry,
president of Sigma Chi frat­ernity,
and co-superintendent of
the student drives committee. He
is a member of Phi Eta Sigma,
freshman honorary; Tau Beta Pi,

Players' The Philadelphia Story'
Starts Second Four-Day Run Tonight
By NOEL LEON
The Auburn Players will open their doors tonight at
8:15 p.m. for another four-day run of "The Philadelphia
Story" at the Players Theater on South College St.
The play opened last Wednesday when the 11-member
cast played to a near-capacity audience. Each day since its
opening the lively comedy has
brought in a full house.
The play, with the exception
of several rough spots that could
be attributed to opening night
jitters, could be termed a success
for Judy Jowers, who made her
debut as a director.
The story was conveyed well to
an audience which responded
with ample laughter. Judging by
audience reaction, Monroe Swil-ley,
who played the part of Uncle
Willie, drew the biggest laughs.
Billy Jean Walker, who played
the lead role as Tracy Lord, did
a creditable job in portraying a
lighthearted and somewhat con­fused
socialite.
Glenda Mooney, who played the
part of Margaret Lord—Tracy's
mother—showed promise for fu­ture
shows.
In all, the play offers two and
a half hours of lively entertain­ment
that is well worth seeing.
It will run every night up to and
including Saturday night.
IN A SCENE from "The Philadelphia Story," an Auburn
Players presentation, Billy Jean Walker, playing the part of
Tracy, pats her former husband Dexter (Ross Hamilton) on the
cheek, while her outraged fiance (Richard Veraa) looks on. She
has just returned from a midnight nude dip in the pool and is
being carried by a third man, Mike Connor, played by Kelly
Collum.

"I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY END
TO THE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS BUSINESS"
When Gene Segin got his B.S. in Business Ad­ministration
at the University of Illinois, he was
in touch with 8 prospective employers.
Gene joined Illinois Bell Telephone Company
because: "The people I talked to here made it
very clear that I would not be shuffled into some
narrow specialized job. I thought this job offered
the greatest opportunity for broad experience."
On his first assignment Gene was sent to Spring­field
where he conducted courses in human rela­tions
for management people.
His next move was to a traffic operations job
in Rock Island. On this assignment he was in
charge of all personnel who are directly responsible
for handling telephone calls in this heavily popu­lated
area. Here Gene earned a reputation for
sound judgment and skill in working with people.
He was promoted to Traffic Supervisor.
Today, Gene's chief responsibilities are in man­agement
training and development, and company-union
relations. The latter includes contract bar­gaining
and helping settle labor disputes.
How does Gene feel about his job? "It's a real
challenge. I'm in some of the most vital and in­teresting
work in the country." And about the
future—"Well there aren't any pushover jobs
around here. It's tough. But if a man has what it
takes, I don't think there's any end to the oppor­tunity
in this business."
If you're looking for a job with no ceiling on it—a job
where you're limited only by how much responsibility
you can take and how iceU you can handle it—then
you'll want to visit your Placement Office for literature
and additional information on the Bell Companies.
Our number one aim is to have in all
management jobs the most vital, intelli­gent,
positive and imaginative men we
can possibly find."

Phi Gamma Deita Fraternity
Given Locai Deita Colony Status
'Delta Colony/ Now On Campus
Aspires To Full 'Fiji' Membership
At the request of the administration and the IFC, the
Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta has moved into colony status
at Auburn University. The members of the Fraternity are
nationally known as "Phi Gams" or "Fijis." As a social
fraternity, it is an old and respected one. It was founded
at Jefferson College in Canons-burg,
Pa., on May 1, 1848, by six
members of the campus literary
society. In its 112 years of history,
it has grown to have 83 chapters
in the United States and three
chapters in Canada. It also has an
extensive and aggressive grad­uate
chapter structure with 115
graduate chapters in the United
States (five in Alabama) and
Canada. It is this graduate body
that exercises ultimate control
over the multimillion dollar cor­poration
and fraternal enterprise
that is Phi Gamma Delta.
THE DELTA COLONY
The existing practice of the
fraternity in expansion is to form
a colony group of individuals re­commended
by graduate P hi
Phi Gamma Delta. This colony
group becomes known as the
"Delta Colony," and wears the
Delta Colony badge. As the Delta
Colony, it assumes its place in
the fraternity structure of the
campus and begins its careful in­doctrination
in the principles of
Phi Gamma Delta. The chartering
of the Delta Colony as a chapter
of the national fraternity occurs
when, and only when, the colony
meets the high standards of ad­mission
set up by the national
convention, the ultimate ruling
body of the fraternity.
Phi Gamma Delta subscribes
to three stated principles: service
to the college that fosters its
members, dedication to scholar­ship
and leadership, and endorse-
Gams or by those interested in ment of the principles of conduct

of the Christian gentleman. Its
careful selection of membership
has kept its quality high and Fi­jis
have assumed leadership in
the fields of government, busi­ness,
athletics, entertainment,
scince, and education. The em­phasis
on scholarship by the frat­ernity
extends also to the grad­uate
members. The Phi Gamma
Delta Education Foundation, uni­que
among fraternities, awards a
number of graduate fellowships
to its members each year.
The Fijis have the necessary
social life, too. Playing upon the
Fiji nickname, the gala annual
event in chapter houses across the
land is the Fiji Island Party. The
grass-skirted "cannibals" a nd
their sarong-clad dates make
some exotic island music together.
The graduates and undergrad­uates
gather annually for the
Norris Dinner to renew the spirit
of brotherhood and fellowship
that lasts a lifetime in Fijiland.
One highlight of the year is the
"Fiji Fisticuffs," an event which
features a series of boxing mat­ches
between freshman and so­phomore
members of the chap­ter.
The event is open to cam­pus
and town, and it has proved
to be one of the most arresting
events in any college calendar.
FAMOUUS FIJIS
The roster of "Famous Fijis" is
quite extensive. It lists one Presi­dent,
Calvin Coolidge, and three
Vice Presidents. President Ken­nedy's
cabinet includes three:
Robert McNamara, Secretary of
Defense; Byron "Whizzer" White,
Assistant Attorney General; and
G. Mennen Williams, Undersec­retary
of State; Senate leadership
is under Mike Monroney, an Ok­lahoma
Fiji. The list also includes
historians Charles A. Beard, and
Douglas S. Freeman {Lee's Lieut­enants
and Life of Robert E. Lee).
In athletics, the roster includes
miler Glenn Cunningham and
Olympic Decathalon Champion
Bob Mathias. In music, Richard
Maltby and the Brothers Four.
In literature, Lew Wallace (Ben
Hur), Frank Norris (The Pit, The
Octopus), and Paul Engle, a
ranking American poet. Others
on the list are ambassadors, cor­poration
presidents, lawyers, edu­cators,
clergy, military leaders,
and scientists of such renown as
Charles P. Steinmetz.
In the state of Alabama, more
than 600 Fijis live and work. The
outstanding ones are: J. Edward
Livingston, Chief Justice of the
Alabama Supreme Court; Dr.
James H. Newman, Executive
Vice President of the University
of Alabama; Dr. John Gallalee,
former President of the Univer­sity
of Alabama; Major General
(ret.) John D. Higgins, former
President of the Alabama Bar
Association; and Charles D. Meri-weather,
recently appointed by
President Kennedy as Director of
the Export-Import Bank.
At Auburn, there are three Fiji
faculty members: Professors By­ron
C. Callaway, Education; Mar­tial
Honnell, Electrical Engineer­ing;
and W. R. Hauser, English.
The pastor of the Church of
Christ in Auburn, Reverend Sam­uel
Hill, is a Tennessee Phi Gam.
Soon you may hear "Fijis Arise,"
a cry delivered with as much en­thusiasm,
loyalty, and spirit as
the traditional "War Eagle."

The Centennial festivities, held
in Montgomery last weekend, drew
many Auburn students away from
the campus. Formals abounded,
however, along with many frater­nity
parties.
The Phi Delta Theta formal
started off with a bang Friday
night. Music for the evening was
provided by a band composed of
ATO's from the University of
Georgia. An unusual feature for
a winter formal weekend was that
dancers found the sidewalk in
front of the house more comfort­able—
humidity wise—than on the
dance floor. The formal was held
Saturday night at the Woodley
Country Club in Montgomery.
Again, outside dancing proved
the order of the day.
AOPi Ginger Pointevint, w as
selected Phi Tau Dream Girl at
the fraternity's formal Friday
night. The Webs, from Dothan, the
winner of the Winner Talent Re­view,
provided the music. An in­formal
was held Saturday night at
Highland's Jungle.
Ted Carr, the corpse that noth­ing
can move, was the center of at­tention
at the ATO 'Go To Hell'
party last weekend. Per usual, this
annual affair was crowded with Pi
KA's and KA's.
Sororities and fraternities have
been kept busy recently with pre­parations
for Campus Capers com­ing
up Feb. 22-23. Many sororities
have had closed weekends to dis­gust
of the male population. I
think everyone concerned will be
glad when its over.
The SAE's were on the loose
Saturday night after initiation that
afternoon. They were seen at ev­ery
party on campus. Sigma Chi
initiation is to be held this Sat­urday.
Sigma Chi's, after having ta­ken
several weeks recovering from
their formal, held a Cowboy party
Friday night. Next Saturday they
plan a rush party.
The Military Ball, and the SAE
and KD formals are also on tap
for the coming weekend.
Starting next week, a list of per­sons
recently pinned, engaged, or
married will be run as part of this
column. Social chairmen of so­rorities,
fraternities and other or­ganizations
should take note of
this and phone their information
to Andrea Pollard, ext. 489, Plains­man

Sunday afternoon.

Voices Of Georgia ...
AS EYES now turn away from integrated
Athens, we look again to determine
those factors implementing the University
of Georgia's smooth handling of their prob­lems.
The wise decision of a realistic governor,
cooperative spirit of a legislature willing-ful
to sacrifice tradition for education, a
staunch, dedicated University of Georgia
faculty and administration, and a surpris­ingly
intelligent and orderly student body
have all been lauded these past few weeks
by those who take pride that the lights of
education still burn in once beleaguered
Athens. But an oft-overlooked factor in the
Georgia story was a key role played by the
two prominent Atlanta newspapers.
Nearly one-fourth of Georgia's popula­tion
read one or both of these highly touted
dailies, The Atlanta Journal and Constitu­tion.
In days leading up to and throughout
the period of unrest, intermittant violence,
and national observation, these two res­pected
moulders of public opinion, with
Constitution publisher Ralph McGill leading
the way, pleaded that the governor renege
his vow to close the schools rather than
ever integrate. Both papers, firmly in ac­cord,
pointed out what would happen to
the South, in time, should great centers of
learning such as that at Athens be shut
down to avoid changing social customs and
swallowing pride. The Atlanta press ap­pealed
that all loyal Georgians stand up
for their native state and the South's wel­fare
by pressurizing their legislators to keep
the schools open at ANY COST. As we
said, the stands of these papers are well-respected.
In that successful outcome of
the case at Athens, their work can only
be regarded a FOREMOST factor.
Respected voices like those of McGill
and his lieutenants of the Atlanta papers
are of utmost importance in quelling pent-up
rages of the masses. It is appalling that
our state, when facing—as is inevitable—
the problems with which Georgia is deal­ing,
will be totally devoid in the cities of
such intelligent and respected journalistic
leaders, as well as a moderate, effective
press.
Wet War Eagles . . .
CONCERNING Saturday's big Civil War
Centennial parade in rain-soaked Mont­gomery,
The Montgomery Advertiser says,
"Many of the bands did not march, but
those that did received ovations perhaps
like they have never received before . . .
Certainly the biggest ovation from the
crowd went to the 110-piece Auburn Uni­versity
Marching Band, which sloshed down
Dexter Avenue playing for all it was
worth."
Such was the fine showing made by our
band under most difficult conditions, when
all but three other bands out of more than
thirty, chose either to ride their chartered
buses along the parade route or to make
no appearance at all. The Auburn band was
the only college band electing to brave the
downpour.
The appointed hour for commencement
of the parade was at hand, and the torrent
raged on. One by one, band buses turned
into the parade route, and the Auburn
buses lined up to follow suit, much to the
dissatisfaction of more than a hundred ea­ger
bandsmen dreading the embarrassment
of parading comfortably down the avenue
in the safety of their caravan before the
drenched street-side throng.
The weather took a momentary change
of heart in the first block of Auburn's bus
journey, and so did congenial bandmaster,
Dr. Bodie Hinton. With the order given,
and bandsmen scrambling hurriedly off the
buses, there were more spontaneous "War
Eagles" heard than after any Auburn-Ala­bama
game victory. The band "sloshed
down Dexter Avenue" and never have the
strains of "War Eagle" been rendered with
more enthusiasm and sincerity.
It's this kind of honest enthusiasm that
comprises any real "Auburn spirit." More
than any planned pep rally, rehearsed
cheer, or football roar, this was a sincere
expression of pride in one's college, and it
was felt throughout Montgomery that day.
-Boettcher
'Moralists' At Work . . .
THE LAST session of the Lee County Grand
Jury saw fit to delve into a number of
matters. Among these was "a flooding of
obscene literature" in this county. Not
among these was the Forney Calhoun case.
Speaking of this obscene literature, the
Grand Jury in its final report, called on
the parents, merchants and general public
"to do all in their power to halt the further
circulation of such trash." They further­more
directed law enforcement officials to
"commence a strict surveillance of the
magazine racks and other dispensers of lit­erature"
to put teeth into their wishes.
Local news stand operators have appar­ently
taken "obscene literature" to mean
Playboy magazine, among others which
may or may not be questionable.
In contrast to such burning and vital mo­ral
questions as the propriety of Playboy,
we have in Lee County a trivial incident
which occurred last November involving::
murder charges against two former Au­burn
employees. The Grand Jury deemed
it proper to postpone consideration of this
matter until the next Grand Jury meets
in May.
Thus it appears that in Lee County it
takes six months to get a hearing for in­dictment
on a felony charge, much less the
actual trial. Does this conform with Con­stitutional
guarantees for a "speedy trial?"
It appears that someone in the judicial
chain of command its doing a little foot-dragging
in this case. It further appears
that the Grand Jury might devote a little
more time to felony cases and a little less
time to acting as guardians of the public
morality in protecting us from being ex­posed
to the 'moral depravity' of Playboy.
Of course, this particular act of censor­ship
may not be too serious in and of itself.
However, the great danger lies in the fact
that it could conceivably be the foot in the
door for a series of crusading Grand Jury
Victorian ultra-moralists to arbitrarily cen­sor
everything from The New Yorker to
Ladies Home Journal, while neglecting mat­ters
which are infinitely more important.—
Bullington.
No Hyde Park . ..
IT IS to our understanding that university
instructors are paid for teaching only
material pertinent to descriptive titles of
their courses. Through constant tricklings-in
of information, we gather that those
more cynical members of the Auburn Uni­versity
faculty deem it their responsibility
to "educate" students by pumping them
full of invective aimed particularly at the
administration and Auburn's way of doing
things.
It is small wonder that we hear so many
student complaints concerning certain dis­contented
faculty members' determination
to step out from the bounds of subjects
they are charged to teach; so often do these
certain instructors vary from their dele­gated
paths and into the realm of subjec­tive
comment—into situations and policies
about which they could well be misin­formed,
IF informed at all. Our didactic
orators would do far better in holding close
to their own professions. Students are here
to learn . . . not to sit by mandate as the
audience of crusaders.
Faculty-administration feuds should be
settled in conference halls or offices. The
classrooms of Auburn University MUST be
a haven for study, analysis, and enlighten­ment—
certainly not a Hyde Park for dem­agogues.
PACIFISM FEARED . . .
Compulsory ROTC Under Fire Recently;
But, Would Voluntary System Fill Need?
By JOHN WALLACE
COMPULSORY ROTC has been
under fire from both students
and educators alike during the
past year. It was about a year ago
that a score of schools over the
country were making strong moves
to convert their ROTC programs
from a compulsory to a voluntary
status. In some of these institu­tions
they have succeeded and in
others they have not. This is in­cidental.
The point in question is:
should ROTC be compulsory?
The proponents for continuation
of the system are worried essen­tially
about two things. First of
all, and this could be debated from
now on, they feel that there is a
swing to pacifism similar to that
in the United States during the
20s and 30s.
Neither side, however, is overly
concerned with this point. A great
war in which countless thousands
lost their lives naturally brings
about some sort of opposite re­action
to conflict and does not, by
all means, suggest that the pres­ervation
of these United States is
in any danger or would be in
"•event of emergency. Man has nev­er.
cared much for defending his
country during peace time.
LEADERS' VIEWS
Secondly, the military leaders
feel that elimination of the com­pulsory
would create a shortage
in the number of. men available
for commissioning into the armed
forces. They believe that this ac­tion
would reduce the number of
men in the program to a figure
one-fifth to one-third of that to­day.
It might be pertinent to note
at this point that if this many
students would decline to join the
program, it certainly must not be
a universally popular thing.
On the other side of the fence,
educators pressed by mounting en­rollments
say that t h e schools
could make better use of the class­room
space presently employed in
instructing ROTC cadets. They
also feel that the ROTC instruc­tion
techniques and material has
not kept pace of needs of. modern
warfare.
The students, and this idea was
advanced by t h e United States
National Student Association rep­resenting
students in 397 colleges,
are of the opinion that doing away
with the program would result in
more, better-qualified officers at
less cost:
ROTC STATISTICS
The 1862 law that established
the land-grant college system had
a provision that required that the
participating schools provid'e'mil-itary
training, but did not specify
compulsory training. Traditional­ly,
however, schools have made it
compulsory. 154 institutions in the
U. S. t o d a y require military
training of their freshman and
sophomore able-bodied men and
some 80 more have volunteer un­its.
From these campuses come a
majority of the regular Army of­ficers
on active duty today. Nine­ty
per cent of the company grade
officers commanding troops in the
early days of World War II were
ROTC graduates. From the. Ar­my's
127,000 ROTC cadets came
5,850 new second lieutenants in
1960, a supply which was almost
70 per cent of the need. Clearly
the ROTC training in our colleges
is an important source of the vi­tally
needed officers.
VOLUNTEERS BETTER
Two years ago the Air Force
was under fire regarding their
ROTC situation. From 100,000 un­dergraduates
enrolled each year
the Air Force draws only 4,000
commissioned officers. In a recent
year 15 per cent of their units
turned out only 218 of the 4,000
required officers; yet they were
staffed with 221 military person­nel.
The cost per officer produced
reached astronomical proportions
in some instances. It also was felt
at that time that the entire AF-ROTC
program needed revision
since it really was for the training
of career rather than reserve of­ficers.
It is the belief, however, of
many students, educators and
Pentagon officials th%t a volun­tary
system such as the Navy's,
including a good scholarship
scheme, would produce fine offi­cers
with fewer dropouts. The vol­unteers
would receive better train­ing,
only those interested would
apply, a much greater percentage
would go into the advanced pro­gram
and into the service as a ca­reer
and the reduced cost would be
beneficial to the services as well
as the schools involved.
Recently M.I.T. did place their
ROTC on a voluntary basis and it
resulted in a 50 per cent drop in
enrollment in the military train­ing,
but this was hardly alarming
since enough of these went into
advanced to meet the need.
From the foregoing it might be
concluded that if the necessary
supply of officers could be main­tained
with the universal adop­tion
of the voluntary system, it
would be quite a good thing to
do so. At least they could try it
for a while.

When Approached By Lobbyist,

A lobbyist who was opposing

who boasted of his self-education.
"Do you realize," asked the lob­byist
gravely, "that over at the
university men and women have
to use the same curriculum?" The
legislator looked startled. "And
that men and women often matri­culate
together?"
"No!" replied the legislator.
The lobbyist came closer and
whispered, "And a young lady
student can be forced to show a
male professor her thesis!"
"I won't vote 'em a damn cent!"
exclaimed the legislator.

Unscholastic Attitude Here, Coupled With Provincialism,
Can Cause Neglect Of Christian Social Challenges
WITH THE surges of progress
in technology and affluency, it
is easy to say that men have out­moded
themselves. The conflicts
between nuclear powers and be­tween
the "haves and the have-nots,"
and the general insecurity
that apparently pervades our
whole culture seem insurmount­able,
uncontrollable, and terrify­ing.
Nostalgic doubters, smother­ed
by defeatism, are quick to say
that contemporary man's social
and moral character has corroded
into muddy materialism, prophe­tic
of doom.
For the past few days, the First
Presbyterian Church of Auburn
has been most fortunate to have
had in its pulpit one of the coun­try's
most prolific and profound
theologians, Dr. John C. Bennett.
Fully abreast of the crises of our
times,- Dr. Bennett, preferring not
doom, but "the possibilities as
well as the tragic risks which we
face in history," has in four ser­mons
been concerned with the
general theme, "Christ and Soc­iety."
Dr. Bennett, Dean of Fa­culty
and Reinhold Niebuhr Pro­fessor
of Social Ethics at Union
Theological Seminary, New York,
speaks urgently and relevantly
to the moral conscience of mod­ern
men. With little tendency to­ward
revivalism, but with a con­cerned
concept of the immoral
nature of a nominally Christian
society, he has offered a general
criteria within which one may
responsibly act with ethical char­acter,
"to overcome particular
forms of injustice and corrup­tion,"
and to check "the drift to
disaster."
SPARK OF CULTURE
The provincial nature of Au­burn
University has for me been
gratefully alleviated by the pre­sence
of this spark of culture.
This theologian, author, and
teacher, who is of national and
international eminence, exempli­fies
the profundity and pertinence
of thought that the college stu­dent
today needs in order to meet
with courage and purpose the
crises facing our society. I am not
able to specifically perceive the
reasons for this reservation of
provincialism, unless it involves
the basically unscholastic attitude
of the whole university, further
supported by the implications of
the AAUP's disposition toward
Auburn, "civil defense" warnings,
superficial school spirit, and a
tendency, from desire or neces­sity
to continue hiring Auburn
graduates as teachers (one reason
for the recent plight of the School
of Engineering), who can only re­inject
the college with its own
ideas. I do not mean to use the
presence of Dr. Bennett, inconsid­erate
of him, for this example,
but I am disturbed by the fact
that Auburn University does not
bring into its midst truly great
men, while a local church does.
"MIND CHANGED"
In order to report a few of Dr.
Bennett's ideas, I will use an ar-
By TOBY SAVAGE
ticle by him, "How My Mind Was
Changed," published in t he
Christian Century.
With respect to social problems,
he suggests that the church be
guided by its faith and not by
local prejudices. Economically
speaking, he stresses the "values"
of a "mixed economy," which in­cludes
many aspects of the wel­fare
state." He opines that the
nation has been inhibited by the
fact that it cannot alleviate those
problems which require the com­munity
acting as one to solve, for
instance, lack of emphasis on
education, urban renewal and
housing, medical care that does
not bankrupt families, and ef­ficient
transportation. Education­al
television as a socially owned
enterprise in competition with
private broadcasting stations is
considered by many American
capitalists as heretical, and it is
therefore corrupted by "profit-seeking
sponsors." Long-range
plans for economic peace seem
too difficult for us. "True, there
is no Christian economic system
—but this is a time for Christians
untrammelled by an un-Christian
individualistic ideology — to look
at the needs of the whole society."
Concerning the nuclear power
struggle, he assumes nuclear paci­fism
a dilemma so precarious that
the thin line of decision is almost
indescernable. By this dilemma
it is meant that t h e Christian
must have reservations about the
perpetual presence of communis­tic
tyranny, therefore confirming
a deterrent force of arms, while
at the time of use of these arms
he must denounce it because of
the obvious possibility of utter,
and complete destruction.
LETTERS TO THl EDITOR .
Grand Jury's Latest Action
Insults Student's Intelligence
Editor, The Plainsman:
It has recently come to my at­tention
that . . . the Lee County
Grand Jury has banned the sale
of such magazines as Playboy,
Nugget, Escapade, and numerous
others within Lee County. To say
that I am slightly irritated or
mildly angered at this peremp-torial
abrogation of national
magazines of recognized literary
value would be a gross under­statement.
I feel it is not only an
encroachment on my rights, but
also an insult to my intelligence
by insinuation that because I evi­dently
do not possess the neces­sary
prudence in my choice of
reading material, others will
choose for me. This is perhaps a
slight exaggeration and doubtless
was not the intended result. The
fact remains however, it is still
the result.
No doubt the perpetrators of
this mandate were convulsed with
altruistic intentions, and felt in­cumbent
on protecting the inno­cent
adolescents of Lee County
from such a foul, despicable, im­moral,
and licentious iniquity as
Playboy magazine. The problem
of making Playboy and its con­temporaries
unavailable to our
young people is not being intel­ligently
solved by totally elim­inating
them f r o m the news­stands.
This prohibitive sale of
all such literature is depriving
the majority adult population (as
opposed to the minority adoles­cent
population) of, in many in­stances,
very enjoyable reading
material. To deny this fact would
imply the persons responsible for
the statute to be so presumptuous
as to assume magazines of this
kind appeal only to the intellect­ually
degenerate and the sex­ually
depraved. This is wholly
untrue, and to presume such only
signifies a biased, bigoted, and
insular mind capable of nothing
but useless and destructive criti­cism.
I feel certain the decision rend­ered
by the Lee County Grand
Jury is not the only answer to
the problem. I believe if it were
given thoughtful reconsideration
the proponents of the ban could
certainly find a more suitable
and applicable course of action.
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Skillern
Here Is Example
Of 'Intent' Reader...
Editor, The Plainsman:
Your threat to "begin publishing
the names and social affiliations or
the more childish portion of out-student
body" seems to be in di­rect
contradiction of your editor­ial
promise to NEVER publish
thought to .hurt the feelings of
ANY entity. This seems even more
apparent when placed beside the
abject apology published over the
name of the writer of the possibly
enjoyable series, "Lampooning."
This may indicate that the edi­torial
policy of your paper could
stand a revitalization, possbly
even permitting derogatory arti­cles
to be published that are either
constructive or highly entertaining.
Such articles might even encour­age
some members of our student
body (even the childish ones?) to
start THINKING a little.
Your attention is called to a se­ries
of articles that ran for a short
time' in the paper of a school in
England. It presented a criticism
of the lecture methods of promi­nent
professors on the campus in
the same manner that a play on
Broadway would be discussed in
a review appearing in a New York
paper. This series was censored by
the school authorities. Would your
bosses allow such a series to ap­pear
in The Plainsman.
Sincerely,
Robert Todd Downey
PSYCHOPETH Si
A Look About Campus Reveals Varied Details,
Reveals Indignant Co-Eds And Shoe Shining!
By CARL PETH
THE RECENT talent show in the
Union Ballroom provided dis­plays
other than talent. Referred
to are the terrible manners dis­played
throughout the show. A
person sitting in the middle of
the audience could barely hear
what was going on during some
of the routines due to disturban­ces
made by some members of. the
audience.
This bad display of manners
has given many people unfavor­able
impressions of the (typical
?) Auburn student. Numerous of
the students present at the show
have voiced their amazement at
the manners displayed.
We may all be thankful there
were no impressionable visitors
at the show. The probable story
they would have taken home
about the students of Auburn
would not have been a creditable
one.
GIRLS' RULES . . .
After two articles were print­ed
in The Plainsman pertaining
to permission rules there were
indignant cries from many coeds,
even letters to the editor of this
paper and much talk about the
"unfair" permissions.
Talking seems to be the only
extent to which the girls are will­ing
to go. Either the girls are not
willing to take the necessary
steps to have the situation recti­fied,
or they are lazily waiting
for someone to go to the time and
trouble for them; or possibly, as
Dean Cater said, "they don't want
the later permission."
What the girls fail to realize
(if they really do want later per­mission)
is that no "Joan of Arc"
or "a dashing knight on a white
charger" will come to their res­cue.
It will be interesting to sit
back and see if the girls want
later permission enough to work
for them.
IFC INNOVATION
A tip of the hat goes to the
IFC for instituting a social com­mission
designed to iron out some
of the social problems encount­ered
on (and off) campus.
The IFC also plans to have
other commissions which will
work out problems in its respec­tive
field. The other commissions
will be: scholarship, rush, pledge
trainers, presidents, treasurers,
a n d steward-house managers
commissions. T h e commissions
will be composed of the respec­tive
officers of each fraternity.
Another step forward taken by
the IFC.
'BATMAN' NEXT
The Grand Jury and the lo­cal
residents of Auburn are at it
again. Every now and then there
is a reform movement caused by
certain events. The current re­form
movement is this time di­rected
(again) at the sale of alco­holic
beverages to minors and
also the sale of pornographic lit­erature.
The local City Council, along
with other prominent organiza­tions,
have exerted enough pres­sure
to force local merchants.to
pull some magazines from their
sales stands. One magazine in
particular is Playboy. Literature
lovers beware—Batman comics
may be next!
NEW FEMININE TALENT . . .
In years gone by this was a
man's world. The situation has so
changed, however, until today
women parallel men in almost
every field.
There are women pilots, women
businessmen, women politicians,
and even shoe-shine girls.
It seems that some of the more
enterprising girls on campus were
not satisfied with the allowance
they were getting from home. The
girls finally decided the only way
to supplement their skimpy al­lowances
was to go into "busi­ness."
After much deliberation the
girls hit upon the idea of shining
shoes. Therefore the Alpha Gams
can now boast of, besides their
many other assets, excellent shoe-shine
girls.

Research Essential Factor
In Engineering Education
One must go much further than
the textbook in engineering edu­cation.
It is only a teaching aid!
Belief in the foregoing state­ment
is strong with Donald M.
Vestal, Jr., head of the mechani­cal
engineering department. En­gineering
professors know- that
research must complement and
go beyond the textbook. Insis­tence
on that point enables engi­neering
graduates to be compe­titive
with those of other engi­neering
schools.
Explaining that point of his
philosophy, Vestal said that re­search
is essential in a modern
engineering department. "The
undergraduate teaching level is
stimulated by staff members who,
because of their research activity,
are able to keep the students
abreast of modern develop­ments."
* * *
TO HELP mechanical engi­neering
professors advance in
their research and instruction,
Vestal has worked closely with
Engineering Dean Fred H. Pum-phrey.
.One result has been the
founding and equipping of two
modern laboratories. One is a fa­cility
for metallurgy and heat
transfer. The other is a photo-elasticity
laboratory. Consequent­ly,
graduate instruction and re­search
in both areas has expand­ed.
Vestal came to Auburn in Sept­ember,
1959, almost two years af­ter
the department had lost its
accreditation. He joined the Pum-phrey-
formed team that had re-accreditation
as its immediate
target. He encouraged a self-study
of its graduate and under­graduate
curricula, acquired ne­cessary
additional space and
pushed the modernization of lab­oratories
by the addition of-a
quantity of new equipment.
All members of the department
helped make it ready for inspec­tion
last spring by the Engineer­ing
Council for Professional De­velopment.
The preparation was
successful since ECPD reaccredi-ted
the Department last October.
The staff members continue to
aim high. They are looking for
adequate facilities for melting
and fatigue testing of metals and
for undergraduate metallurgical
l a b o r a t o r y instruction. They
watch the curriculum to see that
it keeps abreast of industrial and
scientific developments and they
challenge their students to make
the most of their opportunities.
* * *
CONCERNING the facilities,
Vestal commented, "When those
additional needs are fulfilled,
Auburn will have metallurgical
and materials science facilities
equalled by few educational in­stitutions.
'We are initiating re­quests
to appropriate industrial
sources, governmental agencies,
the university development fund
and the university itself for items
needed."
The value of the dollar is well
known to the men in the depart­ment,
too. For one example, for
every budgetary dollar used in
equipping the metallurgical and
heat transfer lab, $3 was received
in equipment grants from re­search
contracts and gifts from
the government and industry.
Already Auburn is receiving
good reports, frohi recent mech­anical
engineering graduates.
Vestal said future graduates will
be even better prepared.

Auburn Student
Wins Grid Prize
Harry R. Slagle Jr., a senior in
the School of Science and Litera­ture,
has been narried winhei- of
the $150 first prize in the recent
Chesterfield-L&M-Oasis football
contest.
To win the prize, Slagle cor­rectly
picked the 3-0 score of
Auburn's loss to Alabama last
fall.
Second and third prizes in the
Liggett and Myers contest were
won by University of Alabama
students.
Contestants, of which there
were many thousands at 108
schools across the nation, enter­ed
the contest by submitting, on
empty Chesterfield, L&M, and
Oasis packs, predictions of the
final and half-time scores in foot­ball
games involving their school
and rival elevens.
A newly completed research
project at Auburn has meaning
for textile mills and farmers
alike. It is titled "The Effect of
Blending Cottons of Dissimilar
Fiber Properties Upon Process­ing
Performance and Yarn Qual­ity."
William T. Waters, associate
professor of textile technology,
conducted the research. He found
that by blending cotton of dis­similar
fiber properties, lower
grades of cotton may be used
without appreciable lowering of
quality in many cases. This means
that many hard to market cottons
may be more useful than pre­viously
thought, thus giving low­er
raw material cost to mills and
better markets for growers.
Waters ran a series of spinning
trials on cottons of dissimilar fi­ber
properties in his research.
The specific properties investi­gated
were grade and cavitomic
damage (caused by cavitoma, a
disease which makes cotton fibers
more susceptible to breakage
during processing), fineness,
staple length, and strength.
Of the properties Investigated,
the blending of shorter staple cot­ton
was found to have the great­est
detrimental effect upon spin­ning
performance and yarn qual­ity.
The results of Waters' research
have been published in bulletin
form by Auburn's engineering ex­periment
station.

WORDS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
Today let us take up the subject of etymology (or entomology,
as it is sometimes called) which is the study of word origins
(or insects, as they are sometimes called).
Where are word origins (insects) to be found? Well sir, some­times
words are proper names that have passed into the language.
Take, for instance, the words used in electricity: ampere was
named after its discoverer, the Frenchman Andre Marie Ampere
(1775-1836); similarly ohm was named after the German G. S.
Ohm (1781-1854), watt after the Scot James Watt (1736-1819),
and bulb after the American Fred C. Bulb (1843-1912).
There is, incidentally, quite a poignant little story about Mr.
Bulb. Until Bulb's invention, all illumination was provided by
gas, which was named after its inventor Milton T. Gas who,
strange to tell, had been Bulb's roommate at Cal Tech! In fact,
strange to tell, the third man sharing the room with Bulb and
Gas was also one whose name burns bright in the annals of
illumination—Walter Candle!
The three roommates were inseparable companions in col­lege.
After graduation all three did research in the problem of
artificial light, which at this time did not exist. AH America
used to go to bed with the chickens. In fact, many Americans
were chickens.
Well sir, the three comrades—Bulb, Gas, and Candle-promised
to be friends forever when they left school, but success,
alas, spoiled all that. First Candle invented the candle, got
rich, and forgot his old friends. Then Gas invented gas, got rich,
bankrupted Candle, and forgot his old friends. Then Bulb in­vented
the bulb, got rich, bankrupted Gas, and forgot his
old friends.
Uri^j-
Www§^MffiM&?
Candle and Gas, bitter and impoverished at the age respec­tively
of 75 and 71, went to sea as respectively the world's
oldest and second oldest cabin boy. Bulb, rich and grand, also
went to sea, but he went in style—as a first-class passenger on
luxury liners.
Well sir, strange to tell, all three were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitania when she was sunk in the North Atlantic. And,
strange to tell, when they were swimming for their lives after the
shipwreck, all three clambered aboard the same dinghy!
Well sir, chastened and made wiser by their brush with death,
they fell into each other's arms and wept and exchanged for­giveness
and became fast friends all over again.
For three years they drifted in the dinghy, shaking hands and
singing the Cal Tech rouser all the while. Then, at long last,
they spied a passing liner and were taken aboard.
They remained fast friends for the rest of their days, which,
I regret to report, were not many, because the liner which picked
theni up was the Titanic.
What a pity that Marlboros were not invented during the
lifetimes of Bulb, Gas, and Candle! Had there been Marlboros,
these three friends never would have grown apart because they
would have known how much, despite their differences, they still
had in common. I mean to say that Marlboros can be lit by
candle, by gas, or by electricity, and no matter how you light
them, you always get a full-flavored smoke, a filter cigarette
with an unfiltered taste that makes anyone—including Bulb,
Gas, and Candle—settle back and forget anger and strife and
smile the sweet smile of friendship on all who pass!

Auburn Students Display
Improving Sportsmanship
Down at the far end of the Sports Arena, home of the 30-second-long
"Waaaauuh Eagle," two basketball officials donned their striped
blouses in a small room behind an unpainted door marked, "Staff
Only."
Behind the door next to them marked "Freshman Basketball On-
. ly," Tulane's visiting Green Wave received its final instructions before
taking the court.
Outside those two doors 2500 Auburn partisans waited anxiously
for the start of the final home game of the year. Bodie Hinton's band
provided the crowd with pre-game music plus a few humorous an­tics
now and then.
Auburn trotted onto the lacquered stage and received its usual
,warm welcome. Then Tulane came out of the dressing room to the
cheers—not jeers—of the rejuvenated Auburn student body. How­ever,
this hasn't always been the case here at the Loveliest Village.
In the past such cries as "Tiger Meat," greeted opponents whose
misfortune it was to be playing in the Barn..
Visitors Deserve Courtesy
At the opening of. Auburn's final four-game stand an announce­ment
was made at the request of the team," to extend to the visitors
some of the courtesies we haven't received on the road."
The fans responded with a fine display of sportsmanship that
could easily spread throughout the rest of the conference. This is the
true Auburn spirit, not the kind that was viewed by a state-wide TV
audience earlier this year.
Auburn is fortunate to be represented on road trips by gentleman
Joel Eaves and the athletes he coaches. Therefore, students owe it to
Eaves to uphold the reputation at home that follows the Auburn bas­ketball
team on the road.
A step has been made in the right direction during the past four
games, but the real test will come in Montgomery when the Tigers

The Auburn wrestling team,
smarting from a 15 to 9 loss at
the hands of Chattanooga Satur­day
night, will be trying to get
back into the win column this
weekend as they take on the Uni­versity
of Alabama and Sewa-nee.
Friday night the Tigers jour­ney
to Tuscaloosa to grapple
with the Crimson Tide of Ala­bama.
Then Saturday afternoon
they return home to meet the
matmen from Sewanee. Starting
time is 2:30.

"OUR BOYS came out of the
Chattanooga match without any
serious injuries, said Coach Urn-bach,
and we should be in good
physical shape for the two mat­ches
this weekend."
Auburn defeated Alabama in
their previous meeting 29 to 5
and are favored to turn the trick
again Friday night.
"Alabama has a good, young
team, remarked Coach Umbach,
but we have the advantage of
more experience and this should
prove to be the difference."
After Friday's match with Ala­bama,
the Tigers will retupt£to,,
the Sports Arena to meet Sewa­nee
in an afternoon match.

"SEWANEE," said Umbach, "has
a strong team. They were beat­en
by Chattanooga in a very
close match earlier this season
and should give our boys a rough
match."
"They have a well-balanced
team with good men in each
weight division," he added, "and
have one boy, Jim Bates, 177-
pound class, who is one of the
better wrestlers in his weight
division in southern wrestling."
After the two matches with
Alabama and Sewanee, the Tig­ers
will start preparing to de­fend
the Southeastern Intercol­legiate
Wrestling Association
crown, which they have held for
the last 14 seasons.

Vols, 'Cats Next On Tiger List
Tigers Set Field Goal Accuracy Mark;
Hit Amazing 75 Per Cent Against LSU
BY DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Tigers, no longer
championship contenders but still
on the winning path, travel
northward this weekend to the
unfriendly regions of the Ten­nessee
Vols and the Kentucky
Wildcats. The Plainsmen, holders
of a new shooting percentage re­cord,
encounter Tennessee in
Knoxville Saturday and meet
Kentucky Monday night in Lex­ington.
Both Tennessee and the Wild­cats
will be seeking revenge for
the lickings they received last
year at the Sports Arena while
the Tigers were enroute to the
1960 SEC championship.
* * *
AUBURN WILL probably see
the better of the two teams in
Kentucky. However, Tennessee
has always proven to be tough at
home. The Vols' leading scorer is
Bobby Carter who garnered 18
points against Vanderbilt Satur­day
night. Coach Johnny Sines'
starting lineup will probably con­sist
of Carter, Test, Martin, Fisch­er,
and Campbell. Four of these
five are returnees from last
year's club.
"Tennessee has a strong ball
team," says Coach Eaves. "They
employ the fast break and are
strong under the boards."
* * *
AT LEXINGTON on Monday
night the Tigers will be seeking
to derail any hopes Kentucky
has for receiving the NCAA dis­trict
tournament bid. Kentucky's
SEC record stands at 6-4, while
their season records stands at 13-
7. During the season the Wild­cats
have posted wins over ACC
powerhouse North Carolina, Not­re
Dame, and UCLA. The biggest
win of the season came a week
ago when the Wildcats stopped
State at Starkville.
Rupp's lineup will include Bill
Likert, Roger Newman, Larry
Pursiful, Dickie Parsons, and big
Maroons Lose To Wildcats, Gators;
Cling To One Game Lead In SEC
By DAVID YOUNCE
Two weeks ago Bernie Moore's office could have sent the
SEC championship trophy to Starkville, Miss, and hardly
anyone would have lifted an eyebrow. However, since then
the Maroons have felt the clawing of the Kentucky Wildcats
and the bite of the Florida Gators.
State was sitting back with a
comfortable 8-0 record in league
play until Adolph Rupp took his
crew to State. Rupp received a
skunk that night but it was State
who got "skunked." This was
only the beginning, for Saturday
night Florida, led by Lou Mer­chant's
22 point effort, shocked
the Maroons by a score of 59-57
in Gainesville. The rosy path
that State was once traveling to­ward
their second SEC champ­ionship
in three years has sud­denly
become infested with some
mighty big thorns.
* * *
STATE HAS three conference
games left and they are all on
the road. They meet L.S.U. Sat
urday, Tulane Monday, and Ole
Miss the following Saturday at
Oxford. , i
The maddest scramble seems to
be taking place in the fight for
second place honors and the
NCAA tournament bid. State will
not represent the SEC even if it
wins the title because of the race
barrier, and this leaves Vandy,
Florida, and Kentucky to fight it
out. Kentucky and Vandy met
last night and the Commodores
take on Florida Saturday night in
Nashville.

Vanderbilt's 76-60 rout of Ten­nessee.
This was Depp's best out­put
of the season.
Elsewhere, Auburn enjoyed the
best night of the season in hand­ing
the L.S.U. Bengals a 69-65
loss. The sharpshooting Plains­men
hit at a phenomenal 75 per
cent clip, establishing a new
school and national record.
Tulane and Alabama went into
a double overtime Saturday night
before the Greenies managed to
pull it out by the margin of 71-
69. Georgia finally got back on
the winning road by defeating
Ole Miss in the friendly confines
of old Woodruff Hall in Athens
by the score of 73-69.
This week's schedule finds
Georgia at Tech, Auburn at Ten­nessee,
Ole Miss at Tulane, Ala­bama
at Kentucky, Mississippi
State at L.S.U., and in the head-liner,
Florida at Vanderbilt.
Ned Jennings. Pursiful is the only
newcomer to the starting five.
This lineup averages 6'2" as com­pared
to Auburn's 6'3" average.
Kentucky's scoring attack is
balanced very well which is evi­denced
by the fact that four of
the starters are averaging in
double figures. Likert's 16.6
average leads the team.
Auburn's hopes of sweeping the
two-game road series were almost
extinguished when Porter Gilbert
sprained an ankle against Tulane
Monday night.
At first the sprain did not seem
serious, but according to Trainer
Kenny Howard, Gilbert may miss
one or both road games.
At present Gilbert needs to
make 15 more field goals to quali­fy
him for the national Held goal
accuracy title. The 6-1 senior from
Geraldine is dropping them in at
a 58.8 per cent clip.
Porter has connected on 88 of
149 attempts from the floor. He
dropped in three in three attempts
against Tulane before injuring his
ankle 15 minutes left in the first
half.
With Kentucky still battling for
an NCAA berth as the SEC's rep­resentative,
Monday night's game
wil be one of, their most important
of the season.
The Wildcats have only beaten
Auburn once in the last three
years. Auburn's four seniors hope
to limit them to that same record.
FIBBE NOW FIFTH
Jimmy Fibbe is now the fifth-leading
scorer in Auburn history
with 806 points. He needs 17 points
in the last three games to take ov­er
fourth.

BASEBALL SQUAD BEGINS PRACTICE
BY PHILLIP HUNT
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn baseball squad be­gan
preparations last week for the
season opener with Howard here
March 16.
Thanks to a break in the weath­er,
the entire team was able to get
in a full first week of batting
practice. The pitchers and catch­ers
had been working out for two
weeks.
"We got a lot accomplished this
first week," said baseball coach
Erskine Russell, "but we still have
a lot of kinks to work out."
Russell's biggest chore will be
building a strong mound corps.

who led the team in home runs

when he develops control he will

Henry Leads Frosh
To Third Triumph
BY MARC DALLAS
Coach Bill Lynn's frosh cagers
handed the Columbus Rebels an
82-51 setback Saturday after­noon
at the Auburn Sports Arena.
The 31-point margin of .victory
was the largest scored by ;the
Baby Auburnites this season. The
Frosh Tigers now have recorded
a 3-5 mark for the 1960-1961
basketball, schedule.
The game was a very fast mov­ing
contest from start to finish.
The fine rebounding by Tigers
Curtis O'Daniel, John Blackwell*
Lamar Henry, and Sonney Nich­ols,
and'the more than success­ful
use of the fast bre$k told the
tale for the Rebels. The Auburn
Frosh were not to be denied and
as evidenced by the score they
certainly came through in fine
style.
Blackwell, of the Tigers, was
once again the standout player
for Auburn. He scored a very
impressive 28 points and acount-ed
for seven rebounds. Nichols
talleyed 11 points and seven r e ­bounds,
and Henry posted 16
points' and pulled down another
seven from the backboards:

In a game as fast and close as basketball the officials are going to
make a Hew mistakes. The players do also or there wouldn't be a need
for referees.
Most of the officials in the SEC are businessmen who referee be­cause
they like basketball and want to stay close to the game. They
aren't doing it to make money or enemies.
For example, one of the officials who called the Tulane game
owns a dry cleaning business in Nashville, Tenn., the other is a feed
manufacturer. Both have been officiating college basketball for 25
years, which is longer than most college students have been living.
Anyone who thinks officiating basketball is worth the meager
amount of money and the abundance of abuse received should try
calling a coUple of fraternity games over at the Student Activities
building.
Kaiser Loses Lead
Ohio State guard Larry Siegfried wrested the national free-throw
percentage lead away from Georgia Tech's Roger Kaiser by the mar­gin
of two-tenths of a percentage point.
Siegfried has hit 83 of 95 for .874 while Kaiser, last week's front-runner,
has connected on 143 of 164 for .872. The race between Sieg­fried
and Kaiser could develop into one of the most exciting in the
country in the closing stages of the season.
Kaiser lost the lead although he only missed two charity tosses
in recent games with Alabama and Auburn. He hit four of five against
the Tide and five of. six against the Tigers.
Auburn's Jimmy Fibbe has droppel in 73 of 83 attempts for .878.
This puts the 6-3 forward ahead of Siegfried and Kaiser, but he hasn't
shot enough to be eligible for first place. However, he does hold the
No. three spot.
Meanwhile, Fibbe needs only 17 points in the remaining three
games to become the fourth leading scorer in Auburn history. Porter
Gilbert moved into the number nine spot with an eleven point per­formance
against LSU.

ATO, PKT Still On Undefeated List
In Men's Intramural Basketball Play
BY PEYTON McDANIEL
Intramurals Editor
There was a light schedule of
basketball last week due to the
appearance of Les Brown in the

SAE caught PKT napping and
came out of the game on the win­ning
side 42-40, but had to for­feit
to PKT because of an in­eligible
player. OTS edged KS
22-20 to keep in the running for
the league championship.
* * *
PKA KNOCKED SP into third
place in League 3 by edging SP
40-32. The big gun for PKA was
Case with 13. Myatt led SP and
also captured high point honors
with 15 points.
SC unleashed their offense

half-time score and a final score
of 75-44. SC had nine men in the
scoring column, headed by Jim
Henry's 19 and Steve Burns 10.
Biff and Anderson led KA with
12 and 10 points respectively.

Mullins 18. Bankam led the Tekes
with 16. The PHi's kept pace with
SN by beating TC 53-44. Tho-maas,
