estimated at $50,000 —
State works on
campus projects
Streets are widened,
extended, and surfaced
S t a t e Highway Department projects at an estimated
cost of $50,000 have gotten under way on t h e Auburn Univ
e r s i t y campus. Main items are extending, widening and r e surfacing
streets and paving p a r k i n g areas.
One of t h e major improvements is a n ew w e s t e r n exten-tension
of W. Magnolia Ave. for
a"bout 800 feet to a point where it
will turn north and tie in with
State Highway 14. The new extension,
which-already has been cut
through but is not yet paved, runs
behind and slightly beyond the
Drake Junior ' H i g h School
grounds, turns right and continues
on the west side of the school,
and meets a road which leads to
the school from Highway 14.
The Magnolia extension, after
turning north, intersects W.
Glenn Ave. at the northwest corner
of the school lot. Paving of
W. Glenn recently has been
completed by the city. Completion
of the W. Magnolia project
will give two additional routes
to Highway 14, one of them directly
from the campus and football
stadium. The Magnolia extension
will be 30 feet wide.
Another project whose effects
the city also will feel is the widening
of S. College St. from
Thach Ave. around 3,000 feet
south to a point just beyond the
university president's home and
grounds. The street, a part of
U. S. Highway 29, is now 36 feet
wide and is being extended 10
feet on the west side.
The street when widened will
provide two wide lanes for traffic
plus parking on each side. In
addition, left-turn lanes at in-continued

Atlanta's contribution to the freshman class divides her time between
Dorm Six and Biggin Hall. Interested in construction, she

THE AUBURN PLAYERS are shown in rehe arsal for the opening of "The Male Animal," tonight
"in the round" in Biggin Gallery.
Curtain at 8:15-
Players to open tonight in
Thurber's "the male animal'
by Ellen Scouten „""'--
C u r t a i n time is 8:15 tonight for the opening of "The Male
Animal", to be presented by the Auburn Players in Biggin
Gallery. The play will r u n seven additional nights: J u l y 28-
30, and August 3-6.
With a plot containing love, learning, freedom of speech,
and football, this play by James
Thurber promises to be quite interesting.
Tommy Turner, Midwestern college
professor is accused of being
a communist because he wants to
read a Vanzetti letter to his English
composition class. A subplot
involves Turner's jealousy of
a returning football hero in town
for a big game who is especially
e^tervtive to Mrs. Turner, his
former." sweetheart. A .'comical
drunken brawl ensues when Turner,
in an alcoholic daze, believes
it is his duty as a "male animal"
to fight for his mate.
When it opened on Broadway in
January 1940, "The Male Animal"
received very favorable review?.
TIME called it a "comedy-hit"
and according to LIFE it
was "established as a hit overnight."
By then' James Thurber
was well known as a cartoonist
Dean Green speaks —•

moves into final day here
v - -"During; the year- just past-our research-grants from private
and federal sources were more than four times the total
budget; of the'Whole School of Veterinary Medicine a few
"years ago. Our responsibilities are increasing at an even
faster i&e*\J3eati James•%. Green of Auburn'University's
School of Veterinary Medicine so
remarked Monday at: the .opening,
of the 53rd annual veterinary
conference'.
He said that because of revolutions
in the field of livestock production
and the growth of this industry
in the Southeast, increasing
emphasis on fundamentals
and basic research is essential.
The dean said responsibilities
are increasing for his staff every
year. "It is anticipated," he said,
that prior to 1980 population will
increase 35 per cent, while meat
consumption will increase 55 per
cent. Therefore, if we are to fulr
fill our .responsibilities as a profession
in helping with the production"
of sound meat and meat
food "products for the housewife,
our-duties will be increased many
fold within the next 20 years.
.'New truths will reveal new
problems. Whereas in the past
much of our research was based
on trial and error, today it is becoming
more predictable because
of (1) past research, (2) superior
training and (3) better
research tools' which give more
accurate results."

The play will be presented "ini

with the spectators seated on alii
sides of the stage. The player^;
will enter..and exit through the
audience. Mr. Knowles' reason;
for presenting the play "in the

perience in acting while completely
surrounded by the audience.
"The M a l e Animal" was-easily
adapted to this form of
presentation, and only a few
changes in the action of the play
had to be made.

i AH of the work is under the
jurisdiction of James H. David,
highway department resident engineer.
In other college projects, Col.
Funchess reported that plans for
a new library are in the final
'stages and should be completed by
the end of August. Ih that event,
|a request for bids could be advertised
in September and the contract
let in October.
Van Keuren, Davis and Co. of
Birmingham is architect for the
library, which will be constructed
on S. College St.
Funchess also said the college
hopes to take over two buildings
under construction in time for use
next fall. They are an animal
husbandry and dairy addition on
Mell St. and animal disease research
facilities on Wire Rd.
Completion of a large animal
clinic on Wire Rd. and a biological
and plant sciences building on
S. College St. is not expected until
late fall. These buildings, therefore,
will not be ready for use before
winter quarter.
Summer enrollment
below last year-but
more girls!
Enrollment for the 1960 Summer
Quarter has been released by
the Registrar's office.
There are 1205 women and 3502
men making a total of 4707 students
in school this quarter.
These figures are compared with
the 3547 men and 1195 women
totaling 4742 for the 1959 summer
session.
Of the total enrollment for this
summer, 995 are students doing
graduate .. work. Last summer
there were 931 students doing
graduate work.
Last fall the total enrollment
was 8547 with 6426 men and 2121
women.
Registrar Charles Edwards,
concerning the enrollment for the
coming Fall Quarter, stated "We
are expecting an enrollment of
approximately 8700 with 1850 new
freshmen, which will represent
an increase of 300 over the
freshmen of last Fall Quarter."

Vet conference
(Continued from page 1)
He said the present production
of veterinarians is not expected
to nearly meet future demands
dictated by art ever^increasteg
population. "It is anticipated
that we should need' to increase
from the present number of 20}-
000 in the profession to at least
35,000 by 1970. Eighteen veterinary
schools are graduating a>
bout 1,000 veterinarians per year.
It is estimated' that we are losing
about 400 each year, leaving
a net gain of only 600 annuauy
and a decade gain of only 6,000
as compared with the 16,000
needed."
"We will meet the challenge
of the future at Auburn through
conscientious service, a: belief in
the dignity and worth of our profession
and an adherence to the
principle of education for service
that has even been Auburn: University's
basic philosophy." .

A new wind tunnel for the engineering department, in
the designing and development stage for four years, is,now
being installed in the L building. The tunnel project under thel

The tunnel as planned -now

will reach 200 miles per hour, a
figure that will rise with additional
power.
The smaller sections of pipe as

A Plea To Alabamians
Last week we chastised the voters of Alabama for not
.'choosing responsible men as delegates to the national
conventions. This week we would like to issue a special
?s&rt of plea to all students and to anyone else concerned.
Each year thousands of Alabama-educated students
•leave this state for lands of enchantment and promises
«f better pay. Teachers nursed through Auburn and other
Alabama institutions forsake the land that brought them
4jp for pieces of silver. Why they are doing this is simple.
•Salaries in this state are not as high as they are in any
;dther state with the possible exception of Mississippi:
IThank God for Mississippi. And now even Mississippi is
(drawing away from Alabama in such things as teacher's
salaries or per capita income.
Why is this so when taxes in this state are as great
=Ss in many others (personal taxes that is) ? Well supposedl
y corporations are allowed to get away with murder and
-millions of dollars that belong to the coffers of our treasury
are not coming in due to lax corporation income tax
Saws.
Now this, if it is the problem, or even if something
*else is to blame, can be solved by merely passing laws.
'Why is this not done so? Lobbying is one thing that presents
the right laws from being passed many times. But
iff enough of the right type of men were elected to the
«tate legislature this problem would no longer exist.
An increased awareness on the part of the people in
tthis state of politics and a renewed interest in the workings
of the state government would in itself bring about a
miore concentrated effort to elect to office responsible
TOien to effect the will of the people.
The kind of people who could best bring about this
qjfoange are educated people; people who naturally follow
^politics and examine the record of an office seeker before
selecting whom they think is the man for the job;
tpeople who vote because it is their duty to see that responsible
men are placed in positions of trust. These people
are educated people.
But our educated people are leaving us to go to other
states where, the grass is greener and their pocketbooks
are too. What we would ask you to do is a distasteful
"thing to many atiirst, but it amounts to this; do not leave
Alabama after you graduate, but stay here and build it
amd let it build you. To us it's a challenge to be met with
31II the forces education can muster.
Library—None Too Soon
The new library has come none too soon and just a
ftttle late. The present facilities were lucky to escape
serious damage in last Friday's rain and we all know, that
Auburn can not stand to lose any.books from the insufficient
number on hand; fa collection, which even
tfliough small, is inadequately housed.
So one and all hail its coming and praise the ground
4|pon which is.soon to rest our new. and glorious library,
aseady to educate new and glorious students in a new and
glorious age.

great discontent with the Democratic

making noises which sound very
much like an outright bolt.

Strom Thurmond (head of
the States Rights ticket in 1948)
about an independent ticket of
Southerners. It is understood that
the South Carolina Senator told
Barnett, that the (Thurmond)
would head such a ticket, if. the
states righters could not get anyone
else.
For the Dixiecrats are talking
about approaching Senator Harry
Byrd to assume such a rale.- Byrd
(who, significantly, has not commented
as yet on the Democratic
ticket) is cautious, and' may stay
silent for some time. It is known
on Capitol Hill that privately Senator
Byrd told friends (before the
Democratic convention) that he
would probably support Nixon for
the Presidency.
Meanwhile, Governor Vandiver
of Georgia has indicated that his
state might withhold its electoral
votes from the Democratic nominees
and seek to throw the election
into the House of Representatives.
Similar thoughts emanate
from Louisiana, where right-wing
Democratic leader Leander Perez
reportedly is in revolt against the
outcome at Los Angeles. In South
Carolina, Governor Hollings thinks
the Democratic ticket is "better
than anything the Republicans can
offer." But, he adds that his state's
course won't be decided until the
state convention is held next
month. . •
Eyes are on Alabama which in
May elected a states-rights majority
of its Presidential electors
pledged to remain uncommitted,
if the.Democratic ticket p r o v ed
repugnant to the South. Bruce
Henderson, prominent states Tighter
of Alabama, has remarked that
the addition of Johnson to the ticket
only made matters worse from
the Southern view.
Finally, it has not gone unnoticed
in Texas that Lyndon Johnson
swallowed the radical Democratic
platform which promises to
cut down the famous oil and gas
depletion tax allowance, a "sacred
cow" in that state. Johnson (and
his friend Speaker Rayburn) for
many years has posed as political
protector of this valuable economic
privilege,
Kennedy Austerity: Following
* on the heels" of Democratic Professor
Schlesinger's "The Big Decision:
Private Indulgence or National
Power?", the trade journal
Women's Wear Daily comes up
with some interesting information.
Negating eight years of Democrar
tic criticism of "conspicuous consumption,"
the wife and mother
of Candidate Jack Kennedy have
recently been on a spending spree
—spending more than $30,000 a
year, "more than most US professional
buyers" shopping in Paris.
Schlesinger, Jack Kennedy's
economic adviser, theorizes that
Americans are allowed to spend
too much on such as television
sets and do-it-yourself rumpus
rooms and hence that "the pub-lie
sector — everything f r om
schools to missiles—takes-second
place."
Editor's Note: Human Events is
a Republican publication and
should be taken as such, but* we
feel that much is of interest.
The Computer
As I write this column during
the heat of the day, while the sun
is so bright one can hardly see, I
feel a great impulse to lackadaisically
aspire to emulate a daisy and
let consciousness consist soloely of
the sun, and let everything else
fade into a forgotten dream. But
there is no easy escape from reality,
except by remaining ignorant
of it.
The computer (or as some people
call it, the electronic brain) is
capable, as Eltrny E. Morison believes,
of organizing and enriching
our society more than any other
agency perhaps since the discovery
of fire.
This noted historian describee
some of the computer's competences
as follows:
"They can discover proofs for
theorems of logic; they can solve
trigonometric identities; they
can already or have given clear
indication that they will in the
forseeable future be able to do
the following things: remember,
learn, discern patterns in loose
data, make novel combinations
of old information and, most
striking of all, introduce surprise
into an intellectual situation.
There is still a question about
the limits of the computer's imagination—
its ability to create
something like a Newtonian hypothesis
or to construct something
like Handel's Water Music.
But Herbert Simon, a cautious
student of these matters
has said that, "Insofar as we
understand what processes are
involved in human creativity—
and we are beginning to have a
very good understanding of
them—none of the processes involved
in human creativity ap- :
pears to lis beyond the reach of
of computers."
The computers can perhaps also
provide a way for the first time
of the mappir.g of the human nervous
system, including the .mind,
on a functional basis. A group if
neurologists and computerists
have already succeeded in determining
how a frog sees. They have
also succeeded in providing a
means to determine whether a
child's auditory appartus is intact
or not before he is capable of
speaking.
The computer shall eventually
be widely used in every field of
human knowledge, classified under
the comunicative mathematical,
physical, medical, and social
behavior sciences. To quote Pro- .
fessor Rosenblith of M.I.T., "The
technology of weapons systems
now can be a p p l i e d to man's
knowledge of himself, his health,
and his welfare." He goes on to
say that we have now entered an
area in which an increasing number
of social behavioral researchers
find that the calculator is of
great use in their work.
The calculator is now being used
progressively more in industry,
as in automation. It shall in the
future be used to make industrial
decisions. That is, it will eventually
replace numerous white collar
workers. It could, perhaps, someday
be used in responsible positions
of government.
The computer is here to stay,
and due to necessity, it shall increasingly
play a more important
role in our society. But what role
and how large of a part do we
want it to play in this age—"with
it overiding skill in rational analysis
of the measurable data?" And
what shall be its influence on the
human affections? Indeed, this is
something worth thinking about.
The Education of Myself
A comedy with an indefinite
number of parts.
It has often been said that what
the "Plainsman" needs most is a
couple of introvert writers. Being
a sppratic reader of the Plainsman
t cannot help but to agree that it
needs something. So then, since
I'm imbued with the Auburn
Spirit I shall cast myself as best I
can into the role of an introvert
writer, and give the Plainsman my
noble aid.
As my critics can easily tell, the
part of. the writer could be better
played. But as for the introvert
bit, my critics are not all of one
feather. Never the less the curtain
shall be opened, even at the cost
of social ostracian, or perhaps I
should say, merely for the price
of.
But wait! One thing more. Since
I'm not only an actor but also the
director of this play, I must confess
that I'm prejudiced in the
merits of the'role that you and I
must play. And if by chance, you
should have any objections to your
role, I suggest you write your
own, and let both the foolish and
wise choose.which to read.
Scene I
A university, dedicated to the
acquisition and propagation of
the knowledge. It is situated in a
tumultuous world, but there serenity
presides. But pray tell, why
does it? Have the inhabitants obtained
and suppassed their noble
ambitions, or do they have any
ambitions w h a t so ever? Have
they bravely solved the problems
of. their world by some super human
knowledge, or do they hide
from reality and remain ignorant
of the challenges which the rest of
the world faces?
Let us look to the people for an
answer. And what do we see?
Hopalong Cassidy on TV,
Well then, let's listen to my
roommate talking openly and sincerely
in his sleep, disclosing a socially
suppressed complex.
Roommate: I do not think that
I think differently from most people
in my society, nor do they
think that I think differently from
them. Within this fact rests my
happiness, my honor, my destiny,
and my ambition.
I am an engineer. When I was
young my friends said to me 'You
look like an engineer!' When I
was older, they told me 'You Shall
become an engineer.' So now, I am
an engineer.
Indeed, am I not fortunate in
having my friends to solve my
problems? For who do I want for
President? My friends are for so-and-
so, and thusly so am I.
And what colthes shall I wear
ior tomorrow? My friends wear
such and such and so shall I, perhaps
a little differently, but fundamentally
the same.
Why do I go to class this evening?
My friends go, and thusly so
shall I. Personally I wish they
wouldn't go.
Why did I do such-and-such?
Because it was my personality to
do such-rand-such. And what is my
personality? Fundamentally, the
identification of. myself with a
group.
I want to be and act like a mature
person, because everybody
says that I should be and act like
a mature person. Well, then, what
does the phrase "mature person"
mean to my group and I?
It means simply this. My group
and I associated these words, "mature
person," with a type of person.
So then, since I want to be a
mature person,
Who, then, is this type of mature
person? He is the person that
tells me to act mature.

How Is AU Serving Alabama's Citizens?
During the past two weeks Auburn's
non-academic staff -has
been given training and instruction
on "How Auburn University
is serving Alabama's citizens, business
and industry."
"Auburn's program is as broad
as the activities and aspirations of
Alabama's people," said W. D.
Poore, director of non-academic
personnel in opening each of nine
two-hour sessions with- groups of
about 30 employees attending each
session.
"Auburn is more than a technical
school—it is cultural and professional
in its scope." ;
Speakers who outline how Auburn
serves Alabama included Dr.
Ralph B. Draughon, president; W.
T. Ingram, business manager;
Clyde Cantrell, director of libraries;
Dr. H Floyd Vallery, assistant
of the president; and L. E.
Funchess, director of Buildings
and Grounds.
Spirit of the Pioneers
"The spirit of Auburn is the
spirit of the pioneers," they said.
"Auburn was born of the prosperity
and ambition of the' 1850's,
when the people of Alabama, sons
of pioneers, planned a great future
for their frontier."
The speakers then told the employees
how Auburn serves in instruction,
research and extension.
"Each year Auburn instructs
about 11,000 students in 10 schools
of Agriculture, Architecture and
the Arts, Chemistry, Education,
Engineering, Home Economics,
Pharmacy, Science and Literature,
Veterinary Medicine and Graduate
studies," they said.
It also gives training in the Army,
the Navy and the Air Force.
"Through its state-wide research
program, Auburn produces
new knowledge and new procedures
that enrich the lives and
wealth of Alabama citizens," the
employees were told. This is done
through the Agricultural Experiment
Station, Engineering Experiment
Station, Auburn Research
Foundation, and Graduate studies.
Auburn's Agricultural Experiment
Station state-wide system
was begun in 1883. Today it has
25 experimental units including
the main station, 10 substations,
six experimental fields, a plant
breeding unit, five forestry units,
an ornamental horticulture field
station and a foundation seed
stocks farm.
Research Division
Also in the research division are
the Auburn Research Foundation
and the Engineering Experiment
Station. At present 27 projects in
industrial, scientific and sociological
research are being conducted
by these two divisions.

Rice All-American-
Rice, Wilson head tackle picture
By Gordon Murphree
If all Coach Jordan and his assistants
had to worry about were
the tackles, their worries about
the team would be over. They have
an All-America candidate and a
steadily improving junior, both of
whom played first team last year.
These two, along with several
other g o o d looking prospects,
should "make tackle the strongest
position on.the Auburn team.
The two leading men at the
tackles are pre-season All-America
choice Ken Rice and junior
Billy Wilson of Birmingham. Both
these men are big, fast, and are
very capable of anchoring down
the Auburn line. But junior Dave
Woojdward and Sophs Winky Gid-i
dens and Dave Hill are not to be
counted out. These.three, especially
Woodward, showed vesy well
during the spring drills.
Sam Galloway, James Sims, Joe
Baughn, and Jimmy Jones all
looked good in the spring, but1
lack of experience will probably
hold them back from making a
strong bid for a starting berth at
tackle this fall.
Rice—All America
Ken Rice, first team All-America
pick by the Football Writers of
America and NEA last season, has
the^potential to become the greatest
lineman in Auburn history.
Pro scouts who watched Auburn
spring drills regard Rice as the
nation's No. 1 pro line prospect
because of his size, strength and
amazing speed. He excels on offence,
being SEC Offensive Lineman
of The Year in 1959, but also
is the top Auburn defensive line-roan.
Rice was the weight-lifting
champion of the South while in
high school, and he can outrun
most Tiger backs. He has been
clocked in six seconds flat in the
J50 yd.'dash, in shorts and football
shoes on the football field.
Rice .plays. either tackle Jor the
Tigers and can also adept to guard
if the. need arises. He will probably
play at right tackle a majority
of the time.
Herring Quotes
"Defensive line coach Hal Herring
said of the I960 crop of tackles:
"I think our tackles are very
good. They are better than last
years and have more experience.
Of course ICen Rice and Billy Wilson
will be hard to heat, but this

Behind all great
teams —a coach,
and a trainer
There is a saying that behind
every great football team there is
a great coach. But this writer believes
that behind every g r e at
football team there is also a great
trainer. And Auburn has had this;
kind of trainer in one Milford
(Kenny) Howard.
Kenny is regarded as the nation's
top young trainer. He was
selected' as'bhe.of the seven Olym- "
pic trainers iri: 1952, the highest
honor bestowed ;dn a trainer. Ken- .
ny has alsobeeii the South trainer
at the annual Senior Bowl game.
since 1952.
Howard began working as an
assistant trainer in the spring of
1945. By the fall of 1945 he was
made assistant to trainer Wilbur
Hutsell, Auburn's first and only
trainer in the school's history.
When Hutsell became athletic di-'
rector in January of 1948, Howard
took over full-time duties.
Respected for his thorough knowledge
of athletic 'injuries and
quick cures, he is called on often
to lecture to athletic organizations
and coaching clinics. Twice selected
as lecturer for the Georgia
High School A. A., he is also an
official ofthe SEC Trainers Association.
Howard is liked and respected
by coaches and players alike.
Head Coach Ralph Jordan said
. . . Kenny Howard
of Howard, "Kenny Js a psychological
as well as a physical help to
the team. His advice is weighted
very heavily in our determining
how the team is rounding into
shape. Kenny is a great trainer
and a very fine gentleman."
Auburn tackle Ken Rice said,
"Kenny knows better than anyone
when we are in shape to play. He
never sends us back to play too
early after an injury, but always
gets us back as quick as possible."
Asked what was his greatest
thrill, Howard said.that the 1957
national champions' in football,
this year's conference winning
basketball team, and of course being
selected as one of the Olympic
trainers in 1952 were his
greatest thrills. . .
•Kenny was born in Crossville,
Ala., on July 29, 1926 and graduated
from Crossville High School.
He entered Auburn in 1944 and
graduated with a B.S. in Ag.
Science in 1944. He is married to
the former Miss Jeanne Barnhart.

Kentucky looks to
successful season
Blanton Collier optimistic about
his eleven's chances this fall
By Peyton McDaniel
When a football coach sums up
his season outlook in the first
days of practice with the seemingly-
evasive comment: "Our
team should have as good or better
a potential than last year,"
the immediate reaction of suspicious
press-radio observers and
other skeptics is that the mentor
is hedging.
However, when the speaker is
Blanton Collier, University of
Kentucky's popular grid chief of
the past six campaigns, and the
topic is the Wildcats for 1960, a
little more credence is lent to
such a comment. In fact, when observers
take the trouble to examine
in detail the outlook for
Kentucky football, it is difficult
to touch the probabilities in more
explicit terms.
First of all, careful consideration
reflects the fact that last
years' Wildcat band was undoubtedly
the best non-winning
combination in the country. Their
potential, hampered much of the
season by injuries and often by
a seeming inability to put together
two good halves, was demonstrated
forcefully a g a i n st
some of the better teams of the
country.
Rugged Season /
Highly regarded LSU could only
manage a 9-0 win as the Kentucky
defense bottled up the
great Billy Cannon by holding
him to a net total offense of 11
yards. Eventually SEC titlist
Georgia survived a near upset by
the margin of a touchdown, bowl
bound Ga. Tech was able to top
Kentucky by only two points,
and Ole Miss managed a mere
.16 points, nine of those coming in
the waning minutes of the game.
Kentucky clawed Tennessee with
no trouble from the Vols. Kentucky's
only severe defeat came
at the hands of the Auburn Tigers.
Jimmy Pettus, Tiger halfback,
took the opening kickoff
and returned it the length of the
field for the first six of the final
thirty-three that the War Eagles
scored in Cliff Hare Stadium.
The Wildcats, although throwing
scvares into the powerhouses
and never a band to be taken
lightly, managed only a 4-6 season
record and finished tenth in
the SEC. Nevertheless, as can be
readily seem, the potential was
there.
Tough Schedule
Although the potential may be
good again, the probability of
posting a better record will still
plague Kentucky this season. Unfortunate
schedule arrangements
again will handicap -the Wildcats
in their efforts to keep morale
high and to stay in contention
for the league title past the first
month of the season as they face
the perennial "Big Three" of the
SEC (Ga. Tech, pie Miss., and
Auburn) in the first three games.
Other conference games are scheduled
with LSU, Georgia, Van-derbilt,
and Tennessee, adding
up to an unfavorably balanced
schedule of seven conference
games and only three non-conference
outings.
Personnel-wise, the losses from
last season's jclub were substantial
but Coach Blanton Collier is
hopeful that|'59 reserves, holdouts,
and a ijromising sophomore
group will taSte up the slack created
by 15 d&arted lettermen. In
general, theft 1960 Kentuckiahs
will be a young club with 65 percent
of the^team composed of
sophomores find only 20 letter-men
returning.
Replacement of the i n t e r i or
linemen, fihding a fullback,
straighteningrout the quarterback
situation aiil development of
adequate reserve strength at'most
positions looms as the major
problems thit must be solved in
the organization of a team capable
of winnfiig in the tough SEC.
Hodge moves to Guard
One big step in the direction
of solving the guard problem is a
decision to fmove center Lloyd
Hodge to guild. The 188-pounder
is the co-captain of his team and
is considered^to be one of the but-standing
linebackers in the South.
He will operate at the lineback-ing
left guard post and Coach
Collier is confident that Hodge
will continue his amazing assault
on enemy ball carriers in a fashion
that earns the team victories

LLOYD GETS a kiss from a sweet young miss as Sandy watches.
NIX IN CAREER'S BEST PLAY WEDS SANDY ROSS
The St. Paul Methodist Church
in Columbus, Georgia formed the
setting for the marriage on Saturday
afternoon of Miss Sandra
Ross of, Phenix City to Mr. Lloyd
Nix who makes his home in Kansas,
Ala. -
The ceremony, which was witnessed
by relatives and several of
Lloyd's and' Sandy's many friends
from Auburn, was followed by a
reception in the church. The bride
was attended by Miss Ann Davis
'as maid of honor. Mr. Nix served'
his son as best man. Morris Savage,
former president of Auburn
"A" Club, Bo Davidson, former
cheerleader, Jimmy Morrow, tiger
track star, and Landan Darden,
form er Tennessee end served
Lloyd'as ushers.
Mrs. Nix is a graduating senior
in-the school of education here at
Auburn. "Sandy" is well known
around the campus, a member of
Delta Zeta sorority, she was elect-.
ed as Auburn's Miss Homecoming
in 1959. Prior to her m a r r i a g e ,
She served as president of Pan-
Hellenic Council, a Glomerate Favorite,
and Loveliest of the Plains.
Lloyd Nix's greatest fame resulted
in his brilliant quarterbacking in
1957, which led Auburn to the Associated
Press No. 1 team in the
nation trophy. A versatile athlete,.
Lloyd also was a pitcher on the
1958 baseball team—naturally his
record was 6-0 for the spring. In'
pre-dentistry, the lefthanded.
quarterback and member of KA
fraternity had better than a "B"
average throughout his four years.
Mr. and Mrs. Nix plan to reside
in Birmingham, where Lloyd will
be attending dental school.
Auburn's gift to the Southern
Association via De-mopolis
is Alan Koch — ace
righthander for the Tigers
for three consecutive seasons
— who is coming into
his own and teaching a
number of opposing batters
the art of strike watching.
The Birmingham Baron's
"Mr. K" is fast becoming
one of the top ranked pitchers
in the league after
throwing two shutouts in
his rookie year, which because
of graduation, began a
month late.
The lanky bespectacled lad
destined for greater things
in baseball signed with the
Detroit Tigers in the Spring

first hall of the season have been
tabulated. These were in the fra-r
ternity and independent leagues.
In the SN, AVMA contest, there
were three key hits that kept the
game at a neck-and-neck p a ce
"through most of the game. Crowe
and Mullins hit home runs with
men aboard to keep the Vet's in
contention. Crowe's grand slammer,
put the AVMA team out in
front of the SN's by the score of
7r-5, but Jimmy Newton, leading
SN hitter, came through in the
last inning with a bases loaded hit
to win the game for the "Snakes"
by the final score of. 8-7.
The once defeated PKT eased
ahead of the Wesley team 4-1 to
chalk up another victory. The PKT
hitting power was present in the
clutch hitting of Averet, who
slammed out a.single, double, and
triple.

and himself. AU-American Honors.
Getting first call at the signal
calling post vacated by Hodge
will be co-captain Jerry Eisa-man,
who has seen important service
at the position the past two
season despite injuries. Also on
hand is Leeman Bennett, a two
year veteran at this slot.
Backfield Strong
The backfield is regarded as
one of Kentucky's prospective
strong suits in the coming campaign
with both starting halfbacks
returning in the persons
of Calvin Bird and Charley Sturgeon.
However, the loss of Shaw^
at fullback created a big gap
which one of three returning
lettermen or an untested sophomore
must fill. No one man stands
out on the basis of past performance.
Is Eisaman stays sound
and comes through as anticipated
at quarterback, and fullback-punch
is developed, the Wildcat
ball carrying contingent could be
a little stronger than a year ago.
Bird, also known as "thunder
bird," is in his third season as a
starter for the .Wildcats; In 1958
Bird walked off with "Sophomore
of the Year" honors, and
last year the speedster won a
place in UPI's national, "Back-field
of the Week," and SEC
"Player of the Week.",

f f Auburn Stadium"
11,790 fans-1939
1960,45,000-1970?
Twenty-one years ago, 11,790
"War Eagle fans filled the newly
dedicated "Auburn Stadium." With
7,290 concrete seats in the West
stands and 4,500 wooden seats in
the East stands for overflow
crowds, this was capacity for the
stadium.
In 1949, the wooden stands were
torn down and 13,613 concrete
stands were constructed in t h e i r
place. At this time, the stadium
was renamed "Cliff Hare Stadium"
after Clifford LeRoy Hare, former
Dean of Chemistry. Mr. Hare
was also faculty chairman of athletics
and president of the old
Southern Conference. In 1949, including
temporary seats, the capacity
of Cliff Hare Stadium was
20,093.
During the past decade Auburn's
Tigers for the first time captured
the number one spot in the nation
among college football contenders.
Consistently, Auburn has produced
winning teams and with them renewed
interest and prestige. The
demand for football tickets soon
exceeded the capacity of the stadium
and athletic directors soon
saw the heed for ' more adequate
facilities; " " . . . . . . \ .'
1955^Jeff Beard, Auburn Athletic
Director, spearheaded a drive
which resulted in the addition of
over 7,000 seats and a new press
box. The' stadium would then seat
34,000. The press box has since
been judged one of the top in the
nation and the finest in the SEC:
34,000 seats, however would hot
accommodate the eager Auburn
fans—hundreds were turned away
without tickets. - Today, construction
is again underway on Cliff
Hare Stadium. The new additions
will be finished by mid-September;
and an additional 13,064 seats
will bring the seating capacity to
45,000.
The increased seating capacity
will not only enable more Auburn
fans to see the games this fall and
in years to come, but it will enable
the Tigers to play more games
on a home and home basis.
KENTUCKY'S "Thunderbird" . . . Calvin Bird
side alternate starter Don. Sinor,
and Dickie -Mueller cOmes back
to man the right end spot where
he started seven times last season,
"the line is thought of as a
major problem. Only nine letter-men
are available, and it appears
that a lot of dependence will be
placed in the hands of the promising,
but inexperienced sophomores.
Coach Collier plans no drastic
offensive changes, intending to
stick with the multiple T pattern
used in the past, couple of seasons
and maintaining a 60-40 percent
balance in favor of the
ground attack. He also plans to
continue the two-team system
inaugurated iast season, and generally
favors the new rules that
will make possible more liberal
substitution of personnel, particularly
specialists.
Tackles..
(Continued from page 6)
best tackle prospects I have seen
in a long time. We should be better
than the average SEC team at
tackle this fall."
Offensive line coach Shot Senn
seconded Herrings words in saying
that the picture at tackle looks
very bright. "Dave Woodward,
said coach Senn, is an above average
reserve tackle for the SEC
and will be a valuable man."
Position-by -position rundown:
Left Tackle—Big Billy Wilson,
6 ft., 2 in. 250 pound junior from
Birmingham has the aid of a years
experience behind him and should
be better than he was in 1959
when he moved into the No. 1 left
tackle spot. Wilson can carry his
weight very well and is rugged on
defehse. Soph. Winky Giddens is
a big surprise and will give Wilson:
a battle for the top job. Young
prospects David Hill and Sam Galloway
will give added strength.
Comparison with last year at-left
tackle—Stronger.
Right Tackle—All-America Ken
Rice: returns and has the potential
to be a great football star. Big, 6-
ft. 3 in. and 250 pounds, Rice is
fast on offense and a stalwart of
defense, Junior Dave Woodward
had a fine spring and should be
an above average second-unit tackle
for this league. Sophs Joe
Baughn and Jimmy Jones are still
a year away but could help.
Comparison with last year at
right tackle—Stronger.
BILLY WILSON will man one tackle post
