Ihs VlabriAmarv VOLUME 88 To Foster The Auburn Spirit AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1961 NUMBER 4 Dr. John W. Tamblyr, M ustc Professor Receives Degree, Writes Symphony By BENNIE SUE CURTIS A member of Auburn's music department recently received his Ph.D. degree in philosophy from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He is Dr. John W. Tamblyn, associate professor of music. To complete his degree Tamblyn composed Symphony in A. This was recorded in April by the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Paul White. Critics proclaimed it "a big applause winner, and rightly so." Tamblyn is a native of Auburn and earned his BS degree here in chemistry. His education was interrupted by three years with the Army in World War II. He returned to Auburn and earned a second degree, this one in music. During his senior year Tamblyn was one of ten outstanding seniors at Auburn and received the position of part time instructor in music. Tamblyn is known here as a pianist and teacher of piano. He began the study of music at five. At (See TAMBLYN, page 3) Bids Submitted For Construction Of Housing Units The apparent low bid of $1,585,- 163 for construction of three women's dormitories and a dining hall was submitted last Thursday by Jones and Hardy Construction Co., Montevallo. Burns, Kirkley and Williams of Auburn submitted the apparent low bid of $476,240 on a men's dormitory and dining hall. Apparent low bids on kitchen equipment for the two dining halls were submitted by Goodwin Brothers Food Equipment Co., Mont gomery. Bids for the dining hall kitchen equipment were $77,618 for the women's and $24,394 for the men's. The proposed women's dormi tories will house 314 students each. They will be located south (See BIDS, page 7) New Housing Office Set Up By School A new office for co-ordinating off-campus housing has been set up to meet the problem of rising enrollment and subsequent shortage of housing facilities. The administration will have the problem of finding residences for about 300 new students this fall. John D. Bacheller, s t u d e n t guidance counselor, will be in charge of the new office. Student housing will be divided into three categories under this new arrangement. They are men's housing, women's housing and off-campus housing. Bacheller will have the responsibility of maintaining adequate off-campus housing for male students and co-ordinating the needs of the university with the • aims of the Auburn Householders Association.

Suellen Fourth Alternate In Miss USA Contest Miami Reports Say Personality Radiant Student Activity Fee To Be Increased Effective Beginning Of Fall Quarter By DOT GASTON Of The Plainsman Staff The Student Activity Fee will be raised from the present $7.50 to $8.50 at the beginning of the Fall quarter. This action was decided upon by student vote during the past spring quarter. The sum of this activity fee, which amounts to between $125,000 to $150,000 per year is not used to pay teachers' salaries nor does it pay for the maintenance of the buildings and grounds, according to the administration. It is used entirely to benefit the student in the numerous activities that are offered for his pleasure and enjoyment on campus. At the beginning of each quarter, each student is required to pay this activity fee, which is included in his regular registration fee. This fee is divided three ways. $2 go into the Auburn Union Building F u n d to pay off its mortgage, and 50 cents go into the Contingency Fund which is split up among the various sec- CHESS LESSONS Chess lessons will be given in the Union on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Those wishing to take lessons will meet in Room 320 of the Union. tions which need it most. The remaining $5 go to support student activities. Of this sum athletics take 35 per cent, but this allocation allows students a 20 per cent discount off regular admission prices to home football and basketball games. Beginning with fall q u a r t e r , activities to which the remaining 65 per cent will be allocated, with percentage of allocation, are: band, 3 per cent; debating, 1 per cent; dramatic arts, 1.75 per cent; exhibits, 1 per cent. Glomerata, 21.75 per cent; intramural sports for men, 6.25 per cent; intramural sports for women, 1.25 per cent; lectures and conceits, 5.5 per cent; music, 1.25 per cent. Plainsman, 7 per cent; religious life, 1 per cent; student body, 4.25 per cent; social life, 1 per cent; student Union activities, 6.5 per cent; Tiger Cub, 1 per cent; and Women's Student Government Association, 1.5 per cent. Auburn's own Suellen Robinson Tuesday began a few days' rest period at h e r uncle's house in Miami Beach, Fla., after a fine showing as fourth r u n n e r - u p in the Miss U.S.A. contest. Reports from Miami Beach say that the 20-year-old Fairfax beauty "radiated" with personality and poise and "looked like a regal queen" throughout the days of the pageant. "Breathtaking" and a "knockout" were the words used by reporters to describe Suellen in a bathing suit. She disproved the theory that only tall girls place high in a beauty contest. She is a shade over 5 feet 2. Her poise and c a l m n e ss throughout t h e semi-finals and finals were noted a n d praised. Each of the 15 semi-finalists had to deliver a one-minute speech for the judges. Because of alphabetical order, Suellen was first for this task. However, being first did not shake her poise. She brought chuckles from the crowd of over 6,000 when she said: "Being first, I think I can speak for the girls and say that pageant officials are doing a wonderful job to stop 15 girls from talking after only one minute each.". In her speech she invited all the people of Miami to visit Alabama. In her speech she drew a large laugh when she told the gathering: "You are assured of seeing plenty of 'chicks' in Alabama, the feathered kind and my kind too." She was speaking of her sponsoring organization, t h e Alabama Poultry Industry Association. She was sponsored to the latter by the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity here. For having been selected fourth in the field, Suellen received a few prizes. They included: A $200 cash award, a gold trophy, an individual designed handbag, a bottle of French perfume, a pair of evening gloves, a swim suit, a professional make-up kit, a pair of white pumps, a Miss Universe creed plaque and a box of bath soap and toiletries. She will also receive a screen test from Warner Brothers. At the end of it all, Suellen commented "You just don't know what a thrill it was for me . . . it was an honor to be in the top 15 with all the lovely girls, and an even greater honor to be in the top five." And here at Auburn the general feeling was that of great pride in claiming Suellen as one of our War Eagles. PLAINSMAN STAFF There will be an important meeting of The Plainsman staff tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in the Plainsman office, Room 318 of the Union Building. All are urged to attend.

New Alpha Phi Omega Book Exchange To Be Completed By Fall Quarter The Alpha Phi Omega book exchange will have a new location this fall. The tunnel under the L Building will be the site of the new exchange. Plans were begun for this building about six years ago. Construction has been started and it should be ready by August. The old book exchange was open for the first five days of each quarter but the new one will open a few hours each day throughout the quarter. To use the exchange a student brings his books and fills out a check evaluating each book individually. The prices are listed in the books and they are left at the exchange to be sold at the specified price. To buy a book a student may look through t he ones available and decide which fits his own requirements. He then completes the check, which is made payable to the owner, adding a ten per cent handling charge. The check is mailed to the original owner. In addition to operating this student book exchange, the A Phi O's have completed a number of other projects. They have furnished benches around the campus and kept them painted. The Auburn University monument in front of Samford Hall was presented in 1960 by this group. The A Phi O's have supplied pencil sharpeners throughout the campus. They also planted grass at the amphitheatre and placed black marble p e n sets in the women's dormitories.

As an added fea- Colored Pigeons Given The Bird fn LSU Tests By BLAKE OLIVER Of The Plainsman Staff If you happen to go to LSU anytime soon, don't get shook up if you see an orange or lavender pigeon. Or even a brilliant r e d one, for that matter . . . It seems that the School of Forestry there is running a little experiment to fight the huge influx of birds at Baton Rouge which is costing the university hundreds of dollars annually in waste and property damage. So they came up with this idea. They are setting up automatic traps to catch a few of the var-mits each day. The pigeons are then painted a particular color for the day caught and released. Observers will then report where e a c h painted bird was sighted. This w i l l determine whether the birds live out on farms, eating all the corn kernels . out of the livestock feed, or whether they live in town, messing up all the buildings. If they live in town, as Dr. L. L. Glasgow, associate professor, believes, the pigeons will be given a drug which will render them temporarily sterile. So much for the pigeon population explosion at LSU. Tamblyn . . . (Continued from page 1) eight he gave his first public recital.

School Comes To A Halt... WHEN COL. L. E. FUNCHESS leaves town, Auburn University comes to a screeching halt. Well, as far as news media are concerned, it does. Col. Funchess is the director of Buildings and Grounds. His department is responsible for the upkeep of the campus, construction of new buildings, etc. His department is one of the biggest sources of news. The construction of a new edifice or some such action is always news. But whenever Col. Funchess is out of town, as is often the case due to his many duties, the old axiom "I don't know nothing" prevails at B&G. This week was an example. Students perhaps wondered what all the digging on the street adjacent to the library could be for. Also the many trucks passing by with loads of dirt—what were they up to? No one knew. And The Plaisnsman didn't know either —nor could we find out. Many projects of wide interest are handled by B&G Perhaps Col. Funchess could authorize others in his office to devulge information. Perhaps—since so many news stories originate there—he could have some office worker especially to issue news releases. It would prevent many Plainsman staffers from "having kittens" while they are in quest of their stories when Col. Funchess is not in town. A Poor Comparison . . . AT THE RISK of conducting a verbal battle on newsprint with local theater managers in Auburn, there are several bits of information that the movie-goer should know. In the last issue of The Plainsman, we carried a letter from Mr. W. D. Stone, manager of the Tiger Theater. In that document, Mr. Stone pointed out that we in the newspapers are guilty of the same sin—carrying advertisements. His argument followed these steps: (1) Newspapers carry ads as well as movies "because they are vital to the publication of the paper, just as advertising is important in every enterprise." (2) An admission fee to a movie, as cost of the newspaper, "does not eliminate the necessity of advertising." (3) Movie goers are not "forced" to watch advertisements— just as readers of a newspaper are not "forced" to read ads. (4) Lastly, that the local theaters do not set the prices <—that prices are regulated by theater chains. The first mal action of Mr. Stone is to compare the movie with a newspaper. Part of the function of a newspaper is to provide advertisements for its readers. Many readers even buy the paper just to have a shopping list. The movie's prime function is to entertain, for which the customers pay a price quite a bit higher than the cost of a newspaper. If the movie would charge five and 10 cents for its shows, we would gladly sit through all the ads they could show—if there is a movie with them. That movie-goers are not forced to watch the ads on the screen—perhaps the patrons could shut their eyes and "peek out" every so often to see if the ad is over with. Or maybe the whole audience could leave and go outside for a smoke until the ads are over with. Then a buzzer would let them know that they can return to their seats and not see a young couple with exaggerated smiles getting a loan from "your friendly local bank." "An admission fee does not eliminate the necessity for advertisement," Mr. Stone tells us. We suppose he is again comparing newspapers to movies. That being the case, perhaps Mr. Stone would like to purchase a newspaper for 65 or 75 cents. It would have no ads. The last point taken by Mr. Stone—the regulation of prices by theater chains. This is undoubtedly true. Then why is it that other theaters in other sections of the United States—that are also regulated by chains—do not have advertisements and still charge the same admission. Are You Beat, Bothered, Bewildered? Flying May Be The Answer For You BY BOB NIXON What do you do when you feel crowded? You know, the feeling that things are too much for you —that life is closing in. I don't know about you, but when I find myself wondering what they're doing in Tahiti these days, I know it's time for me to take a break. Since a large lack of time and money, among other things, keeps me from doing any first-hand checking on the boys (and girls!) in the South Seas, I have to find my diversions closer to hand. When the strain of. midterms, finals, point averages, term papers, finances, etc., etc., begins to get to them, a lot of my fellow sufferers on the Plain take off for home over the weekend, or head for Chewacla with a girl, or a case of beer, or both. Not me. My home is too far away; beer gives me a headache; and as for girls—well, my wife frowns on fraternization. When then? Golf? No. Somehow bashing the brains out of a poor, defenseless little white ball has never appealed to me—I guess I'm too kindhearted. Stamp-collecting? Woodworking? Good grief! The best tranquilizer I've ever found is flying. I used to do a lot of this, but since I've been at Auburn, my Dun and Bradstreet has taken a nosedive and flight time has seemed somewhat less important than shoes for the chillun. The other day, feeling particularly mashed down, I wandered out to the local airport. I hung around for a while, just wishing, and then decided a short hop might be just what I needed to shake a few bars loose from my cage. Renting a small Aeronca from my friend, John Barton, senior pilot and airport manager, I w as soon up, up, and away. It had been over a year since I had been up, but flying is like riding a bicycle—you never forget how. As the ground fell away beneath me, so did all concern for school, money, the world situation, integration— everything dissolved in the sheer joy of handling a plane once again. Leaving the traffic pattern, I headed for Chewacla. The lake, muddied by the recent rains, was dead ahead, but what caught my eye was the brilliance of the quarry just beyond. A- square-cut emerald beneath a knuckle of piled-up sand, the quarry was in sharp contrast to the nearby nicotine stain of the lake. The people on the beach and in the water below were dwarfed by distance, of course, and their smallness was accented by the surrounding hills. Looking down on them,- I was reminded, as always when flying, of how very tiny and fragile man is in the vastness of the universe. And though I have heard this idea of the microscopic nature of man propounded a thousand times, in as many different ways, I grasp it fully only when I am high above the earth. Later, when I had landed and was walking away from the tiny-red and yellow airplane, I was surprised and pleased to find that the burdens I had left below when I took off did not now engulf me, but had, in some magical way, taken wings themselves and were somewhere above, leaving me free, for a time, of. their wearisome weight.

Development Fund May Be Answer To Keep Teachers BY DAVID POYNOR Why are Alabama universities losing so many of their best instructors? All too often the answer to this question is MONEY! The higher salaries offered by wealthier colleges, private business and corporations are attracting more and more of our best professors. To achieve and maintain a first rate school ss'stem something must be done to supplement the salaries of our instructors. Our neighbors in Georgia have arrived at a solution! Their solution may well be an answer to our problem in Alabama. Some years back the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech organized fund - raising foundations. The purpose of these foundations is to raise money to supplement faculty salaries. In recent years these two have joined forces to establish a Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund. The joint fund solicits aid from business and industry while the separate foundations solicit funds f r o m alumni and other individuals. For the academic year 1961-62, the Tech Foundation poured $174,000 into the Georgia Tech treasury. This will raise the base pay of full professors $1,193 above last year. The University of Georgia will receive $120,000 from the University of Georgia Foundation. This will raise the base pay of Georgia professors $633 over last year. There will also be $5,000 available f o r graduate fellowships. This would not be possible without the aid of the foundation. University president, Dr. O. C. Aderhold, s a i d : "Foundation funds have made it possible to attract and hold men of outstanding qualifications in every school and college." It is time for the people of Alabama to awaken to the urgent needs of their universities and colleges. If the state is to have the future leaders it will need, the colleges and universities must have the support of Alabama's alumni, individuals, and businesses. The people of this state and many others are familiar with the "Auburn Spirit." Now is the time for alumni and friends to uphold this great spirit, which has become a tradition and to support their school. Bachelor: What's that gurgling noise?

SIUWK* ATESTTDMOBW College Students Should Prepare Now For Leadership In Troubled World By BENNIE SUE CURTIS The major crises confronting the world today bring to fore the realization of our need for qualified leaders. These leaders, many of which will come from our own student body, must be prepared to assume positions of responsibility in a world threatened by internal troubles as well as foreign foes. '• In order that we may be able to protect our freedoms from those who would dominate us and turn us into puppets we must arm ourselves to meet this threat with logical and. well-trained minds. We can begin this training with our education in college. By studying science and mathematics we discipline our minds and become able to think methodically. Through languages and readings in literature we can learn to analyze situations and discover the deeper meanings and symbols contained in these works. Outside of class we can learn to work as part of a team by participating in sports through extracurricular activities we can practice leadership and become more efficient in budgeting our hours. Through membership in social fraternities and sororities we learn to live with others and share ideas. In addition to these aspects of our education we should consider the necessity of being well-informed about the situation of the world. Most of us read a newspaper daily and perhaps have a general idea of the trouble in Loas, the Cuban situation and the Berlin crisis. But are we aware of what is going on here in the United States — in our government? Do we think about the trends that are taking shape, the policies of our government and the direction to which- our government leans politically? Should we not pause for a while and reflect carefully on the bills that are being passed? Are we sure that this is the legislation that we went? Would we change our government's policies? These are some of- the questions that should concern every student. If we are to be tomorrow's leaders we must have an understanding of how the nation is run. We cannot possibly know t h e se things without study and evaluation. Textbooks can give us the broad background we need but only through a ke«n interest in current affairs of government can we prepare ourselves to become good leaders. LEARN TO FLY!

Dr. Bill Neverscratch is a doctor with long experience in the field of chiropody. The following report, written by Dr. Neverscratch, concerns the high incidence rate of athletes foot on high school and college cam-pi.— Gunch. By Dr. Bill Neverscratch After much study of "most of the college and high school campi in Auburn, I believe that I have discovered the reason for the high rate of athlete's foot on students of these several schools. I have been studying this subject for the past two years and I have finally reached a conclusion. I have discovered that the college female has a lower incidence rate than her high school counterpart, and also, that the high school male has ah equal rate of incidence with the college male. The high rate is not due so much to the athletic sports involved, indeed, there is just as much athlete's foot affliction in the non-athletic males and females as there is with the athletes. Amusing as it may seem, the fungus comes about as a result of the way the modern American student dresses. Yes, because of the latest styles our young men and women are itching to death because of athlete's foot. Being a chiropodist, I deal with many peoples' feet and in the last four years I have worked on the feet of more and more young men and women. This is what caused me to delve into the athlete's foot problem. There are two ways of getting rid of athlete's foot in our American young person. One, cut off his feet. But then, of course, he couid not compete with the Russians. Two, either quit wearing those filthy sneakers or wash them every week.

Classes Present Problems By BOB SHILLER Many of the students at Auburn must have part-time jobs to help defray a great part of their college expenses. For these students, Saturday classes have proved themselves to be ineffective and a detriment to the student. Figures show that 62 per cent of. the Auburn students h a ve part-time work. Most of these part-time jobs require the student to work on Saturday. However, when Saturday classes are held, the student must choose between what he considers to be the lesser of two evils. He must choose to either sacrifice a day's pay or cut all classes that day. If the student chooses to sacrifice a day's pay to attend Saturday classes, he is in effect giving up a part of his future education. Of the 62 per cent of the Auburn students that work, a great many of them cannot afford to lose a day's work. To these students, a j o b is essential in putting them through college. With the ever-rising tuition and expenses at Auburn (another increase in fees •will go into effect this fall), Saturday classes could cause the working student to be unable to continue in school. - On the other hand, if the student should choose to cut classes so that he might work, he gives up the opportunity to learn in class that day. Many instructors take into consideration how many absences a student has had during the quarter when they assign final grades in their classes. Some instructors will fail a student who has had as few as three absences during the quarter, which is the exact number of Saturday classes that we have during winter and spring quarters. What is the working student supposed to do on days set aside for Saturday classes? He is trapped in a situation whereby he must make a choice, but where no choice that is available will benefit him. No matter what choice he makes, he will be harmed by his own decisions. HEAD CHEERLEADER CHOSEN FOR 61-62 Jerry Williams, a sophomore from Anniston is the newly appointed head cheerleader for 1961-62.

COMPLETION OF NEW LIBRARY EXPECTED BY JUNE 1962 By DAVID POYNOR Of The Plainsman Staff June 1, 1962, has been set as the date when construction on Auburn's newest and perhaps most important building will be completed. This building, the new Auburn library, •will face college Street with the rear entrance on Mell Street. The end of the summer of 1962 will see the beginning of a laborious and tedious task. J Smoking will be allowed in designated rooms on the first, third and fourth floors. Adequate rest-room facilities and public telephones will be located on every floor. This will be the first building on the Auubrn campus to have public elevators. A unique feature of this building is that the equipment pent-, house can be raised at a later date to make room for a fifth floor. This would increase the Bids . . . Transporting of the books a nd material from the old building to the new air-conditioned library will then begin. Dr. C. H. Cantrell, director of libraries, hopes the new building will be open to the public in the fall of 1963. The new library will accom- • modate some 909,000 volumes and will seat 2,000 people comfortably. Only new furnishings will be used in the new building. The tables in the center of the rooms will have chairs with arms. There will be 500 individual chairs distributed throughout the library. The new building, consisting of four floors and a basement, will have many added features and conveniences. The basement will be used for storage purposes only. The first floor will contain the browsing room, listening room, auditorium, class room for LY 101, reserve reading room, receiving r o o m , micro-photographic lab and newspaper storage room. On the second floor will be the catalogue and bibliography room, technical processes room, graduate student study rooms, faculty research studies, exit hall and humanities room. The social science reading room, graduate student study rooms, faculty research studies and the library staff lounge will be located on the third floor. The fourth floor will have the biological and physical sciences reading room, graduate student study rooms and faculty research studies. volume capacity by 250,000. (Continued from page 1) of Samford Avenue west of the "Garden of Memory." The completion date will probably be September 1962. The men's dormitories will house college athletes and will accommodate 144. It will be located on the corner of Samford Avenue and Donahue Drive. Coaching staff members will each have an apartment. Total cost for the women's facilities is estimated at $1,481,000. The men's building will cost approximately a half-million dollars. A loan of $1,975,000 to finance the construction of these dormitory facilities was approved recently by the Community Facilities Administration in Washington, D. C. Seven bids were made for the women's dormitories and eight were submitted for the men's unit. There were 11 bids made for the kitchen equipment. COMMITTEE NAMED TO PLAN CONFAB A committee has been appointed by President Ralph B. Draugh-on to work with the Garden Club of Alabama in planning for the convention on the Auburn campus the first week in June, 1962. Members of the committee are Mrs. Mary E.

Despite disrupting downpours, construction is well underway on Buildings and Grounds department projects to he financed with approximately $85,000 recently allocated by the state to the university. The construction of a parking lot west of Cliff Hare Stadium and the extension of Roosevelt Drive from the stadium through the new parking area to W. Magnolia Avenue should be complet ed by October 7, in time to wel come the assault of football fans. R.O.T.C. boys will be "delighted" to hear that the lowering and expanding westward of the present drill field is project number two on tlie agenda. Finally, project number three, the widening by eight feet and resurfacing of Mell Street, justifies the current traffic bottleneck between Samford a n d Thach Avenues. The leveling of the land encompassing the future road and parking lot is a massive operation. While dirt from the shoulders of Mell Street was being hauled to the site, 20 men from Col. L. E. Funchess' B & G department helped clear the muddy ground for action. On July 12, after a week's work, state engineers assigned to the project by H. J. David, district engineer, ordered tractors and pans to "begin moving dirt in a big way." B & G had hoped t h e state would grant approximately $100,- 000. The extra $15,000 would have paid for resurfacing Roosevelt Drive between Donahue and Mell Streets, Dormitory Drive behind Magnolia Hall, and Donahue Drive. It is hoped that the $85,- 000 will be enough to cover some of this repair work. • For the future, Auburn has high hopes. Men dreaming of the campus-to-be have visualized: . Women's dormitories south of Samford Avenue, between the Ornamental Horticulture Building and the President's home. An athletic dormitory and a student center on the corner of W. Samford Avenue and Donahue Drive. Men's dormitories north of W. Samford Avenue, from Donahue to Wire Road. More apartments for married students from Linden Avenue to Wire Road. An R.O.T.C. building on t h e northeast corner of the present Drill Field. Instruction buildings across the street from the Animal Clinic. Such plans may be very tentative, and it is difficult to say when or even if they will be realized. However, it might be reasonable to expect the new girl's dorms to begin materializing next fall and the athlete's dorm within a year or so.

Most box cameras are not suitable for stopping or "freezing" such action as is motion of the camera. The shutter should be snapped when the subject is at its closest point to the camera, and a gliding sweep with the subject still in the viewfinder should follow. One should not attempt to stop the camera at the same time the picture is taken. Following the action to its high point and panning do not eliminate the blur made by a box camera when there is movement while the picture is being taken, but rather they control the blur and put it to use in the composition of the picture. Which makes the most interesting picture? A sports car parked in the pit, or a sports car zooming down the track with a massive blur in the background? Naturally— the one with a sense of speed and motion, which is conveyed by the blur, will arouse the most emotion and interest. The techniques of panning and following action with a box camera are not easily perfected, but with practice and experience they can soon be put to use by anyone who owns a camera. found in many sports. The speed of shutters of box cameras ranges from l/50th to l/60th of one second. Adjustable cameras, which are able to step up this action, have shutter speeds as high as 1/500 or 1/1,- 000th of a second. Thus the professional is able to get clear and sharp action in sports and other imposed pictures. A person with only a box camera, however, can get action shots by using various techniques known as "following" or "panning." "Following" the action is as Simple as the name implies. When our basketball player begins his break-away down the court, you should immediately frame him in the viewfinder of your camera. As the action is followed down the court the photographer should be prepared to swing the camera . upward when the action takes to the air under the basket. If the camera is snapped immediately after the player leaves the floor, the shutter should open at the time the players are at the peak of the jump. A similar technique, which is merely a simplification of t h e "following" action is "panning." Derived from the word panoramic, this technique is used when all of the action takes place on a horizontal level. The subject, whether it be a track star, a sports car, a race horse, or a low flying plane, should be carefully framed in the view finder, and followed steadily and slowly with a sweeping 265 Vocational Ag Teachers Convene On Auburn Campus (• Vocational agriculture workers from throughout the state are currently holding a four-day conference here.

The program began July 13 and will last for 23 days. It consists of 19 days ashore and 4 days afloat. It is culminated by an amphibious assault at the Virginia State Military Reservation, Camp Pendleton, Va. For this purpose the midshipmen are integrated with a Marine battalion. The assault is referred to as LANTNARMIDLEX. The purpose of LANTNARMID is to expose the midshipmen to the flexibility and mobility of. the Navy-Marine Corps team. The men receive practical training in both boat-handling and the utilization of helicopters toward this purpose. When, the midshipmen graduate and receive their commissions as ensigns in the U.S. Navy, they are expected to put this training to use in keeping the U. S.

Most of us know the bluegill and its sunfish cousins best because we "cut our fishing teeth" with a cane pole on a branch, creek, or pond. As we grew older and saved enough money from paper routes or cutting grass to buy our first reel and rod, we began our lifelong education in the ways of the wary largemouth or "trout" as we knew them then. Relatively few people, however, have had the opportunity to test the fighting and flavor qualties of the fork-tailed channel catfish. Due to efforts of fish culturists at Auburn University and elsewhere, this fish is being stocked widely in ponds throughout the. South. In fishing experiments, the channel catfish is rapidly gaining full status as a sport fish. He will take both live bait and artificial lures with gusto. All three of the aforementioned fishes can be found within a few minutes drive of Auburn. Below is a listing of some ponds which contain both bass and bluegill: Opelika City Lake ($.50 day or $2.00 year) Tuskegee State Lake ($.50 day) Plainsman Lake (1.00 day) Lake Lee ($1.00 day) Auburn University P o n ds ($1.00 day) Channel catfish c a n also be caught from the Auburn University ponds. With the exception of Plainsman Lake, all lakes mentioned have boats for rent. Volumes have been written on methods for taking bass. We will briefly mention some of those popular in t h i s area. Light or medium action spinning or spin-casting tackle is suitable for most areas. In the more stumpy or brushy lakes, casting equipment may be required to haul the lurkers out. Some proven lures include plastic worms, Shyster spinners, Sonics, Dalton Specials, Sputterbugs a n d several other types of surface lures. The flyrod and cork bugs are a very Local Newspaper Receives Awards The Lee County Bulletin, local w e e k l y newspaper, received three awards in the 1961 Alabama Better Newspaper contest. The announcement was made Saturday at the Alabama Press Association's annual summer con- . ference at Dauphin Island. The Bulletin, edited and published by Neil O. Davis, placed first in judging of editorial writing and typography and makeup. It received a third place award for the best use of illustrative material. The editorials were described as "well written, persuasive and thought-provoking." T h e typography was considered "inviting to read because it is well printed and has a relaxed look." The Bulletin does an excellent job of getting sharp reproduction of photographs and the photos have a definite professional touch not usually found in weekly newspapers, said the judges. Graham McTeer, managing editor, and Hamp Royston, circulation manager, represented t he paper at the conference. The Bulletin is also the printing company for The Plainsman. good bass collecting combination. Bass are currently hitting surface lures for a short time from about 4:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. and again at about G:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The plastic worm, will produce throughout the day if worked slowly across the channels and deep holes close to the bottom. The sporty bluegill is well liked because of the wide variety of baits it will take. Redworms, crickets, mealyworms and catalpa worms are favorite baits. They can be used on cane poles, fly-rods or ultralight spinning rods. Tiny spinners, poppers, and flies are also very productive. Experienced bream fishermen can smell the spawning areas a nd quickly locate them. Once this is done, stringers can soon be filled. It has been said that channel catfish are the scrappiest pond-fish known. It is not a spectacular fighter, but pulls long and hard. When you get him in the boat, he's still got plenty of kick left. This fish grows rapidly and is predicted to become a favorite among pondfishers. Most channel catfish in ponds are taken on live baits and cut baits. Redworms, crickets, a nd catalpa worms as well as cut shad, chicken livers and shrimp are used. These baits produce the greatest thrill when used on ultralight tackle. The "forktail" will also take a variety of artificial lures.

On that day, Auburn students may show their ID cards and get in free. The place will open at 9 a.m. and will close around midnight. On the agenda will be a water ski show at 1 p.m.; at 2, 4 and 8 p.m., the Florida State University Circus will perform, attributing a special salute to Auburn University. At 9 p.m. there will be a dance at the modern pavilion. Throughout the day all the recreational facilities of the resort spot will be at the disposal of the students. Diversions include swimming, skiing, sun bathing, golfing, hiking, fishing and boating. According to Gilbert D.

When the Tigers of Clemson College invade the Loveiiest Village of the Plains on October 28, it will be for the 37th meeting between the two tiger teams. Auburn first played Clemson in 1899 and won the game by a score of 34-0. The series now stands at 24-11-2 in Auburn's favor. The latest contest was a 21-0 Auburn win in 1955. Clemson is coached by Frank Howard. He was a 1931 graduate of the University of Alabama. In his 21 years completed at Clemson, his teams have compiled a record of 121 wins, 74 losses, and 10 ties. Coach Howard is depending on 24 lettermen and some highly-regarded sophomores to pull his Clemson Tigers back in the top in the Atlantic Coast Conference football race in 1961. "We recorded a 6-4 record last year," Howard observes, "and this might be pretty good for some people, but that's not good enough for these Clemson followers. They like an 8-2, 9-1, or 10-0 (season) with a bowl bid tacked on the end." Clemson lost seven lettermen from last year's squad. However, only three were on the first unit.

At center, Howard has a couple of two-lettermen, Ron Andreo and Jack Veronee. At present, Andreo is expected to get the starting nod. 7eron.ee missed spring drills due to baseball and will have to work ^xtra hard in the fall if he is to replace Andreo on the first eleven. Although first-stringers Dave Lynn and Dave Olson have graduated, the guards should be just as strong as they were last year. Lon Armstrong, Tommy Gue, and Calvin West are returning and ail have lettered twice. No one was lost at tackle and Howard is expected to go with Jast season's starters, Jimmy King and Dave Haynes. The end position will be about the same as last year. Gary Jarnes, a senior from Fairfax. Ala., will return along with Tommy Cing who will replace Sam Anderson in the starting lineup. Barnes played high school ball at Valley, where so many excellent footballers ^re turned out. He is very highly regarded by Coach Howard. Frank Howard's Tigers could well best their 6-4 mark of a year fcigo, but the trip south to take on Auburn on Homecoming day cer-painly won't help any. "he Deacons of Wake Forest. . . With the Clemson game in the books, the Tigers of Auburn will Immediately turn to another Atlantic Coast Conference team—Wake Torrest. The Demon Deacons have met the Tigers only once previously, lat was in 1958 when Auburn beat them by a 28-7 score in Cliff lare Stadium. The Deacons' losses were somewhat greater than those of Ciem-fcon. They lost an even dozen lettermen from the 1960 squad, including seven who were considered starters. Even in view of his heavy losses, Head Coach Billy Hildebrand feels he will have a much better team than last year because he plans to have a better balanced attack. "We have abandoned the 'lonesome end' style we employed the past couple of years, largely because we don't have anyone who can |throw the ball the way Norm Sneed could," Hildebrand says. Hildebrand knows that much of the success of this year's team iepends upon the quarterbacking. Veteran Chuck Reiley, understudy to the brilliant Sneed for the past two years, should get the starting nod. Reiley is capable of directing the running attack and is fine defensive performer. The halfback positions should be one of. the strongest spots on |the team with four experienced players returning. Donnie Frederick and Winston Futch will man these posts. Futch, a six foot, 165 poupnd senior, could be the most explosive player on the team. In 1959 he lad a 5.9 rushing average with 183 yards on 31 carries. inch Stronger at Fullback Fullback, a Week spot last year, should be much stronger. This is largely due to the presence of Gerald Rudelitsch, rated as one of the top players on the 1960 freshman club. At 6-2 and 198 pounds, Rudelitsch is a strong runner and a good defensive performer. The entire interior line is still questionable. Several key players |were lost and must be replaced by young and inexperienced hands. From all indications, the Wake Forrest Deacons should better Ithe 2-8 record chalked up against them last year. They may give the lrest of the ACC plenty of trouble, but they could find a certain SEC Iteam mighty hard to hold. intramural Softball, Volleyball Begins Last Half Of Season BY JIM UNDERWOOD Plainsman Sports Writer Eight teams are entering into the championship play-offs for the first half of the Summer Softball league.

Frazier, stepping into the shoes of one of Auburn's greatest all time athletes, Jackie Burkett, has proven to be the Tiger's finest center for the past WAYNE FRAZIER will be the number one center for the Auburn Tigers this fall. Wayne has stepped into the shoes of Auburn's All-American Jackie Burkett and is doing quite well in them. At 6-3 and 225 pounds, he will be expected to be a rugged defender as well as a top notch offensive player for the Big Blue. The Cincinnati Royals' official brochure states t h a t Rookie Guard Ralph Davis, former University of Cincinnati star, is known to his teammates as Ralph. * * * Auburn's 1961 SEC track champions bettered 14 of 16 individual times and distances of the 1960 season. Only effort not topped was the javelin; the 100-yard-dash time of :9.3 was the same for both years. two years. Frazier, nicknamed "Cotton," and this name is certainly justifiable, stands a strapping six foot, three inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. Wayne is a Physical Education major and hails from Evergreen. In the classroom, in the Union Building, and on the campus, he is one of the most pleasant and friendly persons you will meet anywhere. But on the playing field it is an altogether different story. Frazier is one of the fiercest tacklers on the Auburn squad. As a result of this, he, along with John McGeever, was the Tiger's standout linebacker during the I960 campaign. When he c a m e to Auburn Wayne only weighed 180 pounds, but soon he brought his weight up by lifting weights, a method made famous by LSU's Billy Cannon and his group of bandits during the 1958 season. Not only did he pick up weight, but he gained speed and agility in the process. Wayne has tremendous quickness on offensive blocking, thus being able to put his opponent on the ground before the latter is aware of what is taking place. Ironically, Frazier played his best games last season in Auburn's only two losses of the season; those being against Tennessee and Alabama. His recovery of a fumble on the Tennessee 19 yard line set up Dyas' field goal, which saved Auburn from a complete shutout. In a brief telephone chat with Wayne, it was revealed that he, along with the other Tigers, are looking forward to a very successful fall. Optimism is so high that, with a little bit of luck, Auburn may have a record similar to the 1957 team says Frazier. When asked the question, "Which team had you rather beat most of all," there was not a bit of hesitancy in his voice. "Alabama," was the reply, "and Tennessee runing a close second." Wayne is married and has one child, a boy. As to his future, he is a bit uncertain. Frazier is one of the two Auburn players to have already been drafted by the 12—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, July 19, 1961 Intra murals . . . (Continued from page 11) Men's Summer Intramurals.

Tamblyr, M ustc Professor Receives Degree, Writes Symphony By BENNIE SUE CURTIS A member of Auburn's music department recently received his Ph.D. degree in philosophy from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He is Dr. John W. Tamblyn, associate professor of music. To complete his degree Tamblyn composed Symphony in A. This was recorded in April by the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Paul White. Critics proclaimed it "a big applause winner, and rightly so." Tamblyn is a native of Auburn and earned his BS degree here in chemistry. His education was interrupted by three years with the Army in World War II. He returned to Auburn and earned a second degree, this one in music. During his senior year Tamblyn was one of ten outstanding seniors at Auburn and received the position of part time instructor in music. Tamblyn is known here as a pianist and teacher of piano. He began the study of music at five. At (See TAMBLYN, page 3) Bids Submitted For Construction Of Housing Units The apparent low bid of $1,585,- 163 for construction of three women's dormitories and a dining hall was submitted last Thursday by Jones and Hardy Construction Co., Montevallo. Burns, Kirkley and Williams of Auburn submitted the apparent low bid of $476,240 on a men's dormitory and dining hall. Apparent low bids on kitchen equipment for the two dining halls were submitted by Goodwin Brothers Food Equipment Co., Mont gomery. Bids for the dining hall kitchen equipment were $77,618 for the women's and $24,394 for the men's. The proposed women's dormi tories will house 314 students each. They will be located south (See BIDS, page 7) New Housing Office Set Up By School A new office for co-ordinating off-campus housing has been set up to meet the problem of rising enrollment and subsequent shortage of housing facilities. The administration will have the problem of finding residences for about 300 new students this fall. John D. Bacheller, s t u d e n t guidance counselor, will be in charge of the new office. Student housing will be divided into three categories under this new arrangement. They are men's housing, women's housing and off-campus housing. Bacheller will have the responsibility of maintaining adequate off-campus housing for male students and co-ordinating the needs of the university with the • aims of the Auburn Householders Association.

Suellen Fourth Alternate In Miss USA Contest Miami Reports Say Personality Radiant Student Activity Fee To Be Increased Effective Beginning Of Fall Quarter By DOT GASTON Of The Plainsman Staff The Student Activity Fee will be raised from the present $7.50 to $8.50 at the beginning of the Fall quarter. This action was decided upon by student vote during the past spring quarter. The sum of this activity fee, which amounts to between $125,000 to $150,000 per year is not used to pay teachers' salaries nor does it pay for the maintenance of the buildings and grounds, according to the administration. It is used entirely to benefit the student in the numerous activities that are offered for his pleasure and enjoyment on campus. At the beginning of each quarter, each student is required to pay this activity fee, which is included in his regular registration fee. This fee is divided three ways. $2 go into the Auburn Union Building F u n d to pay off its mortgage, and 50 cents go into the Contingency Fund which is split up among the various sec- CHESS LESSONS Chess lessons will be given in the Union on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Those wishing to take lessons will meet in Room 320 of the Union. tions which need it most. The remaining $5 go to support student activities. Of this sum athletics take 35 per cent, but this allocation allows students a 20 per cent discount off regular admission prices to home football and basketball games. Beginning with fall q u a r t e r , activities to which the remaining 65 per cent will be allocated, with percentage of allocation, are: band, 3 per cent; debating, 1 per cent; dramatic arts, 1.75 per cent; exhibits, 1 per cent. Glomerata, 21.75 per cent; intramural sports for men, 6.25 per cent; intramural sports for women, 1.25 per cent; lectures and conceits, 5.5 per cent; music, 1.25 per cent. Plainsman, 7 per cent; religious life, 1 per cent; student body, 4.25 per cent; social life, 1 per cent; student Union activities, 6.5 per cent; Tiger Cub, 1 per cent; and Women's Student Government Association, 1.5 per cent. Auburn's own Suellen Robinson Tuesday began a few days' rest period at h e r uncle's house in Miami Beach, Fla., after a fine showing as fourth r u n n e r - u p in the Miss U.S.A. contest. Reports from Miami Beach say that the 20-year-old Fairfax beauty "radiated" with personality and poise and "looked like a regal queen" throughout the days of the pageant. "Breathtaking" and a "knockout" were the words used by reporters to describe Suellen in a bathing suit. She disproved the theory that only tall girls place high in a beauty contest. She is a shade over 5 feet 2. Her poise and c a l m n e ss throughout t h e semi-finals and finals were noted a n d praised. Each of the 15 semi-finalists had to deliver a one-minute speech for the judges. Because of alphabetical order, Suellen was first for this task. However, being first did not shake her poise. She brought chuckles from the crowd of over 6,000 when she said: "Being first, I think I can speak for the girls and say that pageant officials are doing a wonderful job to stop 15 girls from talking after only one minute each.". In her speech she invited all the people of Miami to visit Alabama. In her speech she drew a large laugh when she told the gathering: "You are assured of seeing plenty of 'chicks' in Alabama, the feathered kind and my kind too." She was speaking of her sponsoring organization, t h e Alabama Poultry Industry Association. She was sponsored to the latter by the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity here. For having been selected fourth in the field, Suellen received a few prizes. They included: A $200 cash award, a gold trophy, an individual designed handbag, a bottle of French perfume, a pair of evening gloves, a swim suit, a professional make-up kit, a pair of white pumps, a Miss Universe creed plaque and a box of bath soap and toiletries. She will also receive a screen test from Warner Brothers. At the end of it all, Suellen commented "You just don't know what a thrill it was for me . . . it was an honor to be in the top 15 with all the lovely girls, and an even greater honor to be in the top five." And here at Auburn the general feeling was that of great pride in claiming Suellen as one of our War Eagles.

New Alpha Phi Omega Book Exchange To Be Completed By Fall Quarter The Alpha Phi Omega book exchange will have a new location this fall. The tunnel under the L Building will be the site of the new exchange. Plans were begun for this building about six years ago. Construction has been started and it should be ready by August. The old book exchange was open for the first five days of each quarter but the new one will open a few hours each day throughout the quarter. To use the exchange a student brings his books and fills out a check evaluating each book individually. The prices are listed in the books and they are left at the exchange to be sold at the specified price. To buy a book a student may look through t he ones available and decide which fits his own requirements. He then completes the check, which is made payable to the owner, adding a ten per cent handling charge. The check is mailed to the original owner. In addition to operating this student book exchange, the A Phi O's have completed a number of other projects. They have furnished benches around the campus and kept them painted. The Auburn University monument in front of Samford Hall was presented in 1960 by this group. The A Phi O's have supplied pencil sharpeners throughout the campus. They also planted grass at the amphitheatre and placed black marble p e n sets in the women's dormitories.

As an added fea- Colored Pigeons Given The Bird fn LSU Tests By BLAKE OLIVER Of The Plainsman Staff If you happen to go to LSU anytime soon, don't get shook up if you see an orange or lavender pigeon. Or even a brilliant r e d one, for that matter . . . It seems that the School of Forestry there is running a little experiment to fight the huge influx of birds at Baton Rouge which is costing the university hundreds of dollars annually in waste and property damage. So they came up with this idea. They are setting up automatic traps to catch a few of the var-mits each day. The pigeons are then painted a particular color for the day caught and released. Observers will then report where e a c h painted bird was sighted. This w i l l determine whether the birds live out on farms, eating all the corn kernels . out of the livestock feed, or whether they live in town, messing up all the buildings. If they live in town, as Dr. L. L. Glasgow, associate professor, believes, the pigeons will be given a drug which will render them temporarily sterile. So much for the pigeon population explosion at LSU. Tamblyn . . . (Continued from page 1) eight he gave his first public recital.

School Comes To A Halt... WHEN COL. L. E. FUNCHESS leaves town, Auburn University comes to a screeching halt. Well, as far as news media are concerned, it does. Col. Funchess is the director of Buildings and Grounds. His department is responsible for the upkeep of the campus, construction of new buildings, etc. His department is one of the biggest sources of news. The construction of a new edifice or some such action is always news. But whenever Col. Funchess is out of town, as is often the case due to his many duties, the old axiom "I don't know nothing" prevails at B&G. This week was an example. Students perhaps wondered what all the digging on the street adjacent to the library could be for. Also the many trucks passing by with loads of dirt—what were they up to? No one knew. And The Plaisnsman didn't know either —nor could we find out. Many projects of wide interest are handled by B&G Perhaps Col. Funchess could authorize others in his office to devulge information. Perhaps—since so many news stories originate there—he could have some office worker especially to issue news releases. It would prevent many Plainsman staffers from "having kittens" while they are in quest of their stories when Col. Funchess is not in town. A Poor Comparison . . . AT THE RISK of conducting a verbal battle on newsprint with local theater managers in Auburn, there are several bits of information that the movie-goer should know. In the last issue of The Plainsman, we carried a letter from Mr. W. D. Stone, manager of the Tiger Theater. In that document, Mr. Stone pointed out that we in the newspapers are guilty of the same sin—carrying advertisements. His argument followed these steps: (1) Newspapers carry ads as well as movies "because they are vital to the publication of the paper, just as advertising is important in every enterprise." (2) An admission fee to a movie, as cost of the newspaper, "does not eliminate the necessity of advertising." (3) Movie goers are not "forced" to watch advertisements— just as readers of a newspaper are not "forced" to read ads. (4) Lastly, that the local theaters do not set the prices <—that prices are regulated by theater chains. The first mal action of Mr. Stone is to compare the movie with a newspaper. Part of the function of a newspaper is to provide advertisements for its readers. Many readers even buy the paper just to have a shopping list. The movie's prime function is to entertain, for which the customers pay a price quite a bit higher than the cost of a newspaper. If the movie would charge five and 10 cents for its shows, we would gladly sit through all the ads they could show—if there is a movie with them. That movie-goers are not forced to watch the ads on the screen—perhaps the patrons could shut their eyes and "peek out" every so often to see if the ad is over with. Or maybe the whole audience could leave and go outside for a smoke until the ads are over with. Then a buzzer would let them know that they can return to their seats and not see a young couple with exaggerated smiles getting a loan from "your friendly local bank." "An admission fee does not eliminate the necessity for advertisement," Mr. Stone tells us. We suppose he is again comparing newspapers to movies. That being the case, perhaps Mr. Stone would like to purchase a newspaper for 65 or 75 cents. It would have no ads. The last point taken by Mr. Stone—the regulation of prices by theater chains. This is undoubtedly true. Then why is it that other theaters in other sections of the United States—that are also regulated by chains—do not have advertisements and still charge the same admission. Are You Beat, Bothered, Bewildered? Flying May Be The Answer For You BY BOB NIXON What do you do when you feel crowded? You know, the feeling that things are too much for you —that life is closing in. I don't know about you, but when I find myself wondering what they're doing in Tahiti these days, I know it's time for me to take a break. Since a large lack of time and money, among other things, keeps me from doing any first-hand checking on the boys (and girls!) in the South Seas, I have to find my diversions closer to hand. When the strain of. midterms, finals, point averages, term papers, finances, etc., etc., begins to get to them, a lot of my fellow sufferers on the Plain take off for home over the weekend, or head for Chewacla with a girl, or a case of beer, or both. Not me. My home is too far away; beer gives me a headache; and as for girls—well, my wife frowns on fraternization. When then? Golf? No. Somehow bashing the brains out of a poor, defenseless little white ball has never appealed to me—I guess I'm too kindhearted. Stamp-collecting? Woodworking? Good grief! The best tranquilizer I've ever found is flying. I used to do a lot of this, but since I've been at Auburn, my Dun and Bradstreet has taken a nosedive and flight time has seemed somewhat less important than shoes for the chillun. The other day, feeling particularly mashed down, I wandered out to the local airport. I hung around for a while, just wishing, and then decided a short hop might be just what I needed to shake a few bars loose from my cage. Renting a small Aeronca from my friend, John Barton, senior pilot and airport manager, I w as soon up, up, and away. It had been over a year since I had been up, but flying is like riding a bicycle—you never forget how. As the ground fell away beneath me, so did all concern for school, money, the world situation, integration— everything dissolved in the sheer joy of handling a plane once again. Leaving the traffic pattern, I headed for Chewacla. The lake, muddied by the recent rains, was dead ahead, but what caught my eye was the brilliance of the quarry just beyond. A- square-cut emerald beneath a knuckle of piled-up sand, the quarry was in sharp contrast to the nearby nicotine stain of the lake. The people on the beach and in the water below were dwarfed by distance, of course, and their smallness was accented by the surrounding hills. Looking down on them,- I was reminded, as always when flying, of how very tiny and fragile man is in the vastness of the universe. And though I have heard this idea of the microscopic nature of man propounded a thousand times, in as many different ways, I grasp it fully only when I am high above the earth. Later, when I had landed and was walking away from the tiny-red and yellow airplane, I was surprised and pleased to find that the burdens I had left below when I took off did not now engulf me, but had, in some magical way, taken wings themselves and were somewhere above, leaving me free, for a time, of. their wearisome weight.

Development Fund May Be Answer To Keep Teachers BY DAVID POYNOR Why are Alabama universities losing so many of their best instructors? All too often the answer to this question is MONEY! The higher salaries offered by wealthier colleges, private business and corporations are attracting more and more of our best professors. To achieve and maintain a first rate school ss'stem something must be done to supplement the salaries of our instructors. Our neighbors in Georgia have arrived at a solution! Their solution may well be an answer to our problem in Alabama. Some years back the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech organized fund - raising foundations. The purpose of these foundations is to raise money to supplement faculty salaries. In recent years these two have joined forces to establish a Joint Tech-Georgia Development Fund. The joint fund solicits aid from business and industry while the separate foundations solicit funds f r o m alumni and other individuals. For the academic year 1961-62, the Tech Foundation poured $174,000 into the Georgia Tech treasury. This will raise the base pay of full professors $1,193 above last year. The University of Georgia will receive $120,000 from the University of Georgia Foundation. This will raise the base pay of Georgia professors $633 over last year. There will also be $5,000 available f o r graduate fellowships. This would not be possible without the aid of the foundation. University president, Dr. O. C. Aderhold, s a i d : "Foundation funds have made it possible to attract and hold men of outstanding qualifications in every school and college." It is time for the people of Alabama to awaken to the urgent needs of their universities and colleges. If the state is to have the future leaders it will need, the colleges and universities must have the support of Alabama's alumni, individuals, and businesses. The people of this state and many others are familiar with the "Auburn Spirit." Now is the time for alumni and friends to uphold this great spirit, which has become a tradition and to support their school. Bachelor: What's that gurgling noise?

SIUWK* ATESTTDMOBW College Students Should Prepare Now For Leadership In Troubled World By BENNIE SUE CURTIS The major crises confronting the world today bring to fore the realization of our need for qualified leaders. These leaders, many of which will come from our own student body, must be prepared to assume positions of responsibility in a world threatened by internal troubles as well as foreign foes. '• In order that we may be able to protect our freedoms from those who would dominate us and turn us into puppets we must arm ourselves to meet this threat with logical and. well-trained minds. We can begin this training with our education in college. By studying science and mathematics we discipline our minds and become able to think methodically. Through languages and readings in literature we can learn to analyze situations and discover the deeper meanings and symbols contained in these works. Outside of class we can learn to work as part of a team by participating in sports through extracurricular activities we can practice leadership and become more efficient in budgeting our hours. Through membership in social fraternities and sororities we learn to live with others and share ideas. In addition to these aspects of our education we should consider the necessity of being well-informed about the situation of the world. Most of us read a newspaper daily and perhaps have a general idea of the trouble in Loas, the Cuban situation and the Berlin crisis. But are we aware of what is going on here in the United States — in our government? Do we think about the trends that are taking shape, the policies of our government and the direction to which- our government leans politically? Should we not pause for a while and reflect carefully on the bills that are being passed? Are we sure that this is the legislation that we went? Would we change our government's policies? These are some of- the questions that should concern every student. If we are to be tomorrow's leaders we must have an understanding of how the nation is run. We cannot possibly know t h e se things without study and evaluation. Textbooks can give us the broad background we need but only through a ke«n interest in current affairs of government can we prepare ourselves to become good leaders. LEARN TO FLY!

Dr. Bill Neverscratch is a doctor with long experience in the field of chiropody. The following report, written by Dr. Neverscratch, concerns the high incidence rate of athletes foot on high school and college cam-pi.— Gunch. By Dr. Bill Neverscratch After much study of "most of the college and high school campi in Auburn, I believe that I have discovered the reason for the high rate of athlete's foot on students of these several schools. I have been studying this subject for the past two years and I have finally reached a conclusion. I have discovered that the college female has a lower incidence rate than her high school counterpart, and also, that the high school male has ah equal rate of incidence with the college male. The high rate is not due so much to the athletic sports involved, indeed, there is just as much athlete's foot affliction in the non-athletic males and females as there is with the athletes. Amusing as it may seem, the fungus comes about as a result of the way the modern American student dresses. Yes, because of the latest styles our young men and women are itching to death because of athlete's foot. Being a chiropodist, I deal with many peoples' feet and in the last four years I have worked on the feet of more and more young men and women. This is what caused me to delve into the athlete's foot problem. There are two ways of getting rid of athlete's foot in our American young person. One, cut off his feet. But then, of course, he couid not compete with the Russians. Two, either quit wearing those filthy sneakers or wash them every week. This fad, of wearing sneakers until they are filthy and thereby being in style, is what is ruining the feet of our future leaders. American parents, arise and do something about this. Wash your children's shoes!!! Dear Miss Gunch, I have been told that you are the president of the WSGA. It is your duty to see that certain things on this campus are carried out. You also have an abundance of influence so why don't you do something about letting girls wear Bermuda shorts to classes, improve the food in the girl's dining hall, get later permission for girls, and, last but not least, get A Phi O to inaugurate a date service along with their book exchange?

Classes Present Problems By BOB SHILLER Many of the students at Auburn must have part-time jobs to help defray a great part of their college expenses. For these students, Saturday classes have proved themselves to be ineffective and a detriment to the student. Figures show that 62 per cent of. the Auburn students h a ve part-time work. Most of these part-time jobs require the student to work on Saturday. However, when Saturday classes are held, the student must choose between what he considers to be the lesser of two evils. He must choose to either sacrifice a day's pay or cut all classes that day. If the student chooses to sacrifice a day's pay to attend Saturday classes, he is in effect giving up a part of his future education. Of the 62 per cent of the Auburn students that work, a great many of them cannot afford to lose a day's work. To these students, a j o b is essential in putting them through college. With the ever-rising tuition and expenses at Auburn (another increase in fees •will go into effect this fall), Saturday classes could cause the working student to be unable to continue in school. - On the other hand, if the student should choose to cut classes so that he might work, he gives up the opportunity to learn in class that day. Many instructors take into consideration how many absences a student has had during the quarter when they assign final grades in their classes. Some instructors will fail a student who has had as few as three absences during the quarter, which is the exact number of Saturday classes that we have during winter and spring quarters. What is the working student supposed to do on days set aside for Saturday classes? He is trapped in a situation whereby he must make a choice, but where no choice that is available will benefit him. No matter what choice he makes, he will be harmed by his own decisions. HEAD CHEERLEADER CHOSEN FOR 61-62 Jerry Williams, a sophomore from Anniston is the newly appointed head cheerleader for 1961-62. He was selected by Bobby Boettcher, president of Student Government Association for summer quarter and Bert Hitch c o c k , superintendent of spirit. Williams is replacing Joel Hitt who was originally chosen for this position. Hitt w i l l attend Howard College next year where he will study for the ministry.

COMPLETION OF NEW LIBRARY EXPECTED BY JUNE 1962 By DAVID POYNOR Of The Plainsman Staff June 1, 1962, has been set as the date when construction on Auburn's newest and perhaps most important building will be completed. This building, the new Auburn library, •will face college Street with the rear entrance on Mell Street. The end of the summer of 1962 will see the beginning of a laborious and tedious task. J Smoking will be allowed in designated rooms on the first, third and fourth floors. Adequate rest-room facilities and public telephones will be located on every floor. This will be the first building on the Auubrn campus to have public elevators. A unique feature of this building is that the equipment pent-, house can be raised at a later date to make room for a fifth floor. This would increase the Bids . . . Transporting of the books a nd material from the old building to the new air-conditioned library will then begin. Dr. C. H. Cantrell, director of libraries, hopes the new building will be open to the public in the fall of 1963. The new library will accom- • modate some 909,000 volumes and will seat 2,000 people comfortably. Only new furnishings will be used in the new building. The tables in the center of the rooms will have chairs with arms. There will be 500 individual chairs distributed throughout the library. The new building, consisting of four floors and a basement, will have many added features and conveniences. The basement will be used for storage purposes only. The first floor will contain the browsing room, listening room, auditorium, class room for LY 101, reserve reading room, receiving r o o m , micro-photographic lab and newspaper storage room. On the second floor will be the catalogue and bibliography room, technical processes room, graduate student study rooms, faculty research studies, exit hall and humanities room. The social science reading room, graduate student study rooms, faculty research studies and the library staff lounge will be located on the third floor. The fourth floor will have the biological and physical sciences reading room, graduate student study rooms and faculty research studies. volume capacity by 250,000. (Continued from page 1) of Samford Avenue west of the "Garden of Memory." The completion date will probably be September 1962. The men's dormitories will house college athletes and will accommodate 144. It will be located on the corner of Samford Avenue and Donahue Drive. Coaching staff members will each have an apartment. Total cost for the women's facilities is estimated at $1,481,000. The men's building will cost approximately a half-million dollars. A loan of $1,975,000 to finance the construction of these dormitory facilities was approved recently by the Community Facilities Administration in Washington, D. C. Seven bids were made for the women's dormitories and eight were submitted for the men's unit. There were 11 bids made for the kitchen equipment. COMMITTEE NAMED TO PLAN CONFAB A committee has been appointed by President Ralph B. Draugh-on to work with the Garden Club of Alabama in planning for the convention on the Auburn campus the first week in June, 1962. Members of the committee are Mrs. Mary E.

Despite disrupting downpours, construction is well underway on Buildings and Grounds department projects to he financed with approximately $85,000 recently allocated by the state to the university. The construction of a parking lot west of Cliff Hare Stadium and the extension of Roosevelt Drive from the stadium through the new parking area to W. Magnolia Avenue should be complet ed by October 7, in time to wel come the assault of football fans. R.O.T.C. boys will be "delighted" to hear that the lowering and expanding westward of the present drill field is project number two on tlie agenda. Finally, project number three, the widening by eight feet and resurfacing of Mell Street, justifies the current traffic bottleneck between Samford a n d Thach Avenues. The leveling of the land encompassing the future road and parking lot is a massive operation. While dirt from the shoulders of Mell Street was being hauled to the site, 20 men from Col. L. E. Funchess' B & G department helped clear the muddy ground for action. On July 12, after a week's work, state engineers assigned to the project by H. J. David, district engineer, ordered tractors and pans to "begin moving dirt in a big way." B & G had hoped t h e state would grant approximately $100,- 000. The extra $15,000 would have paid for resurfacing Roosevelt Drive between Donahue and Mell Streets, Dormitory Drive behind Magnolia Hall, and Donahue Drive. It is hoped that the $85,- 000 will be enough to cover some of this repair work. • For the future, Auburn has high hopes. Men dreaming of the campus-to-be have visualized: . Women's dormitories south of Samford Avenue, between the Ornamental Horticulture Building and the President's home. An athletic dormitory and a student center on the corner of W. Samford Avenue and Donahue Drive. Men's dormitories north of W. Samford Avenue, from Donahue to Wire Road. More apartments for married students from Linden Avenue to Wire Road. An R.O.T.C. building on t h e northeast corner of the present Drill Field. Instruction buildings across the street from the Animal Clinic. Such plans may be very tentative, and it is difficult to say when or even if they will be realized. However, it might be reasonable to expect the new girl's dorms to begin materializing next fall and the athlete's dorm within a year or so.

You're t h e r e and get a p i c t u r e of it, b u t much to your dismay the p i c t u r e comes back from the d r u g s t o r e one confused blur. Most box cameras are not suitable for stopping or "freezing" such action as is motion of the camera. The shutter should be snapped when the subject is at its closest point to the camera, and a gliding sweep with the subject still in the viewfinder should follow. One should not attempt to stop the camera at the same time the picture is taken. Following the action to its high point and panning do not eliminate the blur made by a box camera when there is movement while the picture is being taken, but rather they control the blur and put it to use in the composition of the picture. Which makes the most interesting picture? A sports car parked in the pit, or a sports car zooming down the track with a massive blur in the background? Naturally— the one with a sense of speed and motion, which is conveyed by the blur, will arouse the most emotion and interest. The techniques of panning and following action with a box camera are not easily perfected, but with practice and experience they can soon be put to use by anyone who owns a camera. found in many sports. The speed of shutters of box cameras ranges from l/50th to l/60th of one second. Adjustable cameras, which are able to step up this action, have shutter speeds as high as 1/500 or 1/1,- 000th of a second. Thus the professional is able to get clear and sharp action in sports and other imposed pictures. A person with only a box camera, however, can get action shots by using various techniques known as "following" or "panning." "Following" the action is as Simple as the name implies. When our basketball player begins his break-away down the court, you should immediately frame him in the viewfinder of your camera. As the action is followed down the court the photographer should be prepared to swing the camera . upward when the action takes to the air under the basket. If the camera is snapped immediately after the player leaves the floor, the shutter should open at the time the players are at the peak of the jump. A similar technique, which is merely a simplification of t h e "following" action is "panning." Derived from the word panoramic, this technique is used when all of the action takes place on a horizontal level. The subject, whether it be a track star, a sports car, a race horse, or a low flying plane, should be carefully framed in the view finder, and followed steadily and slowly with a sweeping 265 Vocational Ag Teachers Convene On Auburn Campus (• Vocational agriculture workers from throughout the state are currently holding a four-day conference here.

The program began July 13 and will last for 23 days. It consists of 19 days ashore and 4 days afloat. It is culminated by an amphibious assault at the Virginia State Military Reservation, Camp Pendleton, Va. For this purpose the midshipmen are integrated with a Marine battalion. The assault is referred to as LANTNARMIDLEX. The purpose of LANTNARMID is to expose the midshipmen to the flexibility and mobility of. the Navy-Marine Corps team. The men receive practical training in both boat-handling and the utilization of helicopters toward this purpose. When, the midshipmen graduate and receive their commissions as ensigns in the U.S. Navy, they are expected to put this training to use in keeping the U. S. Navy ahead of its adversaries, thereby upholding the Amphibious Force motto—"Vanguard in Peace—Spearhead in War."

Most of us know the bluegill and its sunfish cousins best because we "cut our fishing teeth" with a cane pole on a branch, creek, or pond. As we grew older and saved enough money from paper routes or cutting grass to buy our first reel and rod, we began our lifelong education in the ways of the wary largemouth or "trout" as we knew them then. Relatively few people, however, have had the opportunity to test the fighting and flavor qualties of the fork-tailed channel catfish. Due to efforts of fish culturists at Auburn University and elsewhere, this fish is being stocked widely in ponds throughout the. South. In fishing experiments, the channel catfish is rapidly gaining full status as a sport fish. He will take both live bait and artificial lures with gusto. All three of the aforementioned fishes can be found within a few minutes drive of Auburn. Below is a listing of some ponds which contain both bass and bluegill: Opelika City Lake ($.50 day or $2.00 year) Tuskegee State Lake ($.50 day) Plainsman Lake (1.00 day) Lake Lee ($1.00 day) Auburn University P o n ds ($1.00 day) Channel catfish c a n also be caught from the Auburn University ponds. With the exception of Plainsman Lake, all lakes mentioned have boats for rent. Volumes have been written on methods for taking bass. We will briefly mention some of those popular in t h i s area. Light or medium action spinning or spin-casting tackle is suitable for most areas. In the more stumpy or brushy lakes, casting equipment may be required to haul the lurkers out. Some proven lures include plastic worms, Shyster spinners, Sonics, Dalton Specials, Sputterbugs a n d several other types of surface lures. The flyrod and cork bugs are a very Local Newspaper Receives Awards The Lee County Bulletin, local w e e k l y newspaper, received three awards in the 1961 Alabama Better Newspaper contest. The announcement was made Saturday at the Alabama Press Association's annual summer con- . ference at Dauphin Island. The Bulletin, edited and published by Neil O. Davis, placed first in judging of editorial writing and typography and makeup. It received a third place award for the best use of illustrative material. The editorials were described as "well written, persuasive and thought-provoking." T h e typography was considered "inviting to read because it is well printed and has a relaxed look." The Bulletin does an excellent job of getting sharp reproduction of photographs and the photos have a definite professional touch not usually found in weekly newspapers, said the judges. Graham McTeer, managing editor, and Hamp Royston, circulation manager, represented t he paper at the conference. The Bulletin is also the printing company for The Plainsman. good bass collecting combination. Bass are currently hitting surface lures for a short time from about 4:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. and again at about G:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The plastic worm, will produce throughout the day if worked slowly across the channels and deep holes close to the bottom. The sporty bluegill is well liked because of the wide variety of baits it will take. Redworms, crickets, mealyworms and catalpa worms are favorite baits. They can be used on cane poles, fly-rods or ultralight spinning rods. Tiny spinners, poppers, and flies are also very productive. Experienced bream fishermen can smell the spawning areas a nd quickly locate them. Once this is done, stringers can soon be filled. It has been said that channel catfish are the scrappiest pond-fish known. It is not a spectacular fighter, but pulls long and hard. When you get him in the boat, he's still got plenty of kick left. This fish grows rapidly and is predicted to become a favorite among pondfishers. Most channel catfish in ponds are taken on live baits and cut baits. Redworms, crickets, a nd catalpa worms as well as cut shad, chicken livers and shrimp are used. These baits produce the greatest thrill when used on ultralight tackle. The "forktail" will also take a variety of artificial lures.

On that day, Auburn students may show their ID cards and get in free. The place will open at 9 a.m. and will close around midnight. On the agenda will be a water ski show at 1 p.m.; at 2, 4 and 8 p.m., the Florida State University Circus will perform, attributing a special salute to Auburn University. At 9 p.m. there will be a dance at the modern pavilion. Throughout the day all the recreational facilities of the resort spot will be at the disposal of the students. Diversions include swimming, skiing, sun bathing, golfing, hiking, fishing and boating. According to Gilbert D. Wildes, publicity director for Callaway Gardens, the special offer is being made "in order to acquaint Auburn with the place. "To get there," Wildes said, "students should follow Highway 29 through LaGrange, Ga., then onto Highway 18 to Pine Mountain, where the resort is located." 9—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, July 19, 196V NOTICE Senior Rings are being sold every afternoon between 2 and 5 p.m. in the student government office on the third floor of the Union.

When the Tigers of Clemson College invade the Loveiiest Village of the Plains on October 28, it will be for the 37th meeting between the two tiger teams. Auburn first played Clemson in 1899 and won the game by a score of 34-0. The series now stands at 24-11-2 in Auburn's favor. The latest contest was a 21-0 Auburn win in 1955. Clemson is coached by Frank Howard. He was a 1931 graduate of the University of Alabama. In his 21 years completed at Clemson, his teams have compiled a record of 121 wins, 74 losses, and 10 ties. Coach Howard is depending on 24 lettermen and some highly-regarded sophomores to pull his Clemson Tigers back in the top in the Atlantic Coast Conference football race in 1961. "We recorded a 6-4 record last year," Howard observes, "and this might be pretty good for some people, but that's not good enough for these Clemson followers. They like an 8-2, 9-1, or 10-0 (season) with a bowl bid tacked on the end." Clemson lost seven lettermen from last year's squad. However, only three were on the first unit. Least Experience At Quarterback . . . Of the seven positions on the team, quarterback has the least experience. Joe Anderson is the only .returnee with any varsity action behind him. Anderson, a 6-3, 210 pound junior, will constantly be called on to direct the offense of the Tigers. The remainder of the backfield positions appear to be well manned. All of last year's lettermen will be returning at both the halfback and fullback positions.

With the Clemson game in the books, the Tigers of Auburn will Immediately turn to another Atlantic Coast Conference team—Wake Torrest. The Demon Deacons have met the Tigers only once previously, lat was in 1958 when Auburn beat them by a 28-7 score in Cliff lare Stadium. The Deacons' losses were somewhat greater than those of Ciem-fcon. They lost an even dozen lettermen from the 1960 squad, including seven who were considered starters. Even in view of his heavy losses, Head Coach Billy Hildebrand feels he will have a much better team than last year because he plans to have a better balanced attack. "We have abandoned the 'lonesome end' style we employed the past couple of years, largely because we don't have anyone who can |throw the ball the way Norm Sneed could," Hildebrand says. Hildebrand knows that much of the success of this year's team iepends upon the quarterbacking. Veteran Chuck Reiley, understudy to the brilliant Sneed for the past two years, should get the starting nod. Reiley is capable of directing the running attack and is fine defensive performer. The halfback positions should be one of. the strongest spots on |the team with four experienced players returning. Donnie Frederick and Winston Futch will man these posts. Futch, a six foot, 165 poupnd senior, could be the most explosive player on the team. In 1959 he lad a 5.9 rushing average with 183 yards on 31 carries. inch Stronger at Fullback Fullback, a Week spot last year, should be much stronger. This is largely due to the presence of Gerald Rudelitsch, rated as one of the top players on the 1960 freshman club. At 6-2 and 198 pounds, Rudelitsch is a strong runner and a good defensive performer. The entire interior line is still questionable. Several key players |were lost and must be replaced by young and inexperienced hands. From all indications, the Wake Forrest Deacons should better Ithe 2-8 record chalked up against them last year. They may give the lrest of the ACC plenty of trouble, but they could find a certain SEC Iteam mighty hard to hold. intramural Softball, Volleyball Begins Last Half Of Season BY JIM UNDERWOOD Plainsman Sports Writer Eight teams are entering into the championship play-offs for the first half of the Summer Softball league.

Frazier, stepping into the shoes of one of Auburn's greatest all time athletes, Jackie Burkett, has proven to be the Tiger's finest center for the past WAYNE FRAZIER will be the number one center for the Auburn Tigers this fall. Wayne has stepped into the shoes of Auburn's All-American Jackie Burkett and is doing quite well in them. At 6-3 and 225 pounds, he will be expected to be a rugged defender as well as a top notch offensive player for the Big Blue. The Cincinnati Royals' official brochure states t h a t Rookie Guard Ralph Davis, former University of Cincinnati star, is known to his teammates as Ralph. * * * Auburn's 1961 SEC track champions bettered 14 of 16 individual times and distances of the 1960 season. Only effort not topped was the javelin; the 100-yard-dash time of :9.3 was the same for both years. two years. Frazier, nicknamed "Cotton," and this name is certainly justifiable, stands a strapping six foot, three inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. Wayne is a Physical Education major and hails from Evergreen. In the classroom, in the Union Building, and on the campus, he is one of the most pleasant and friendly persons you will meet anywhere. But on the playing field it is an altogether different story. Frazier is one of the fiercest tacklers on the Auburn squad. As a result of this, he, along with John McGeever, was the Tiger's standout linebacker during the I960 campaign. When he c a m e to Auburn Wayne only weighed 180 pounds, but soon he brought his weight up by lifting weights, a method made famous by LSU's Billy Cannon and his group of bandits during the 1958 season. Not only did he pick up weight, but he gained speed and agility in the process. Wayne has tremendous quickness on offensive blocking, thus being able to put his opponent on the ground before the latter is aware of what is taking place. Ironically, Frazier played his best games last season in Auburn's only two losses of the season; those being against Tennessee and Alabama. His recovery of a fumble on the Tennessee 19 yard line set up Dyas' field goal, which saved Auburn from a complete shutout. In a brief telephone chat with Wayne, it was revealed that he, along with the other Tigers, are looking forward to a very successful fall. Optimism is so high that, with a little bit of luck, Auburn may have a record similar to the 1957 team says Frazier. When asked the question, "Which team had you rather beat most of all," there was not a bit of hesitancy in his voice. "Alabama," was the reply, "and Tennessee runing a close second." Wayne is married and has one child, a boy. As to his future, he is a bit uncertain.
