Miraculously, no one in the accident above was killed—but
persons were seriously injured. Classes will be over soon and
-everyone will be headed for a few weeks of rest before returning
in fall. Drive safely—obey traffic laws. An accident like the one
above can have many consequences—one can be crippled for life
—-studies can be interrupted—or one can be killed. Don't let it
-happen to you.
Ballet, Orchestra, Choral Group
Set For Concert And Lecture Series
BY CHARLES WILSON
A ballet, an orchestra and a choral group will be featured
in the 1961-62 Concert and Lecture Series.
LeTheatre dArt du Ballet, a French company of 35 mem­bers,
will appear here Oct. 19. This is a newly formed group
that has already received world acclaim. The Times of India,
Bombay, declared it "A sheer joy

Qualified Coeds
May Seek Title
Of Bowl Queen
Auburn coeds from the Jack­sonville,
Fla., area have an oppor­tunity
to vie for the title of "Ga­tor
Bowl Queen."
The Gator Bowl Association has
sent an application form that may
be filled by any girl that meets
these requirements:
". . . must be resident of the
greater Jacksonville area . . .
must be in the city during the
Thanksgiving holidays for elim­ination
activities."
Those selected for the queen's
court must be available in the
city during the Christmas holi­days.
The queen and her court
must attend all the activities of
Gator Bowl Week.
According to a supplement re­lease
from the association, the
contest is an "open campus"
event, rather than confined to
sororities. Awards will be a speci­fied
scholarship of $500 to the
queen and $200 to the runner-up,
payable to the school of their
choice.
No particular class standing is
required. The judging will be
based on poise as well as beauty.

Draughon Asks Senate
For Budget Increase
Auburn Operating At 22.6 Per Cent

BY NOEL LEON

an increased budget before the Senate Finance and Taxation
Committee Wednesday.
No obvious results came of the plea which argued that

Obey Safety Rules,
Police Chief Warns
As Students leave
BY DOT GASTON
As summer quarter comes to a
close and the last finals are fin­ished,
students will be packing
their bags and heading for home.
Without careful thought and ob­servance
of s a f e t y rules, the
forthcoming days are ideal times
for traffic accidents.
Chief M. E. Dawson of the
campus police, warns all students
as they head for home, to wait
if possible until the. day after
one's last exams to leave. This
would enable the student to get
a good night's rest before getting
on the road.
He continued by saying, "When
students do leave, however, please
observe all traffic signals, don't
pass on a blind hill, don't have
clothes and boxes in the back so
as to block the rear view mirror,
and watch the yellow line down
the center of the road."
Chief Dawson finished by say­ing
that summer quarter has been
an exceptionally good one as far
(See SAFETY, page 5)
in a
"deep freeze" if no additional
funds were forthcoming.
Alabama schools have asked for
some $50 million more in appro­priations
than Gov. John Patter­son
recommended. The governor
recommended a budget of $137.9
million for the state's colleges and
universities.
Dr. Draughon told the commit­tee
that Auburn was "operating at
22.6 per cent below the national
average for land-grand colleges."
Auburn asked for $10.25 million
for the main campus, experiment
stations and extension service and
an additional $13.5 million for
new construction.
One educator—Dr. Howard Phil­lips,
president of Alabama Col­lege
at Montevallo—warned that
college instruction in Alabama will
"at best be reduced to high school
level unless something is done to
improve it."
The committee took no immed-

AU CADETS VISIT AIRCRAFT CARRIER
Cadet Richard R. Curtis (left), Capt. Lee R. Bovinett, Air Science instructor (center), and Ca­det
Richard E. Hale, all of Auburn University, stand on the deck of the carrier Antietam. The three
visited the carrier to observe U. S. Navy pilots landing jets. They were part of a group from Au­burn
attending summer training at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
Thirteen Auburn AFROTC Cadets
Attend Summer Training Units
Five Auburn Air Force ROTC
cadets attended a summer train­ing
unit at Eglin Air Force Base,
Fla., and eight attended James
Connally Air Force Base, Tex.
The summer training u n it
(STU) is a 28 day course re­quired
of all AFROTC cadets be­tween
their junior a n d senior
years in college.
The objectives of this training
included supplementing the in­stitutional
phase of cadet train­ing
by promoting careers in the
Air Force, developing a better
understanding of the USAF mis­sion,
and increasing cadet profi­ciency
in essential areas of junior
officer training such as leader­ship,
customs and courtesies, drill
and ceremonies, and military dis­cipline.
"The task of providing an at­mosphere
at the STU which will
instill self discipline as well as
group discipline, is perhaps the
most important facet of training
the cadet receives. Demanding
perfection of many small details
has but one purpose—to make
obedience and self discipline a
habit," says Capt. Lee R. Bovi­nett,
Air Science 2 instructor
here.
The first three weeks of the
course each encampment received
250 hours of primary and second­ary
training. Included in the pri­mary
course of instruction were
150 hours encompassing orienta­tions
and missions, aircraft and
air crew indoctrination, physical
training, orientation flights in
both jet and reciprocal engine air­craft,
familiarization of fire-arms
and other such topics.
Last part of the STU was the
survival training and air base
defense program better known as
"Operation Swamp Stomp." In
this operation cadets were re­quired
to put into practice all the
knowledge they have gained over
the previous three weeks. The
course was designed to teach the
cadets the art of "living off the
land," to survive for indefinite

AU ROTC Cadets
Learn Varied Skills
At Summer Camp
Twenty-five Auburn ROTC ca­dets
attended summer camp at
Fort Gordon, Ga. These cadets
were in the companies studying'
armor and general military sub­jects.
In many subjects the training
of the armor companies paralleled;
that of the general military s u b ­ject
companies. However the U.S.;
Army Armor School conducted,
specialized armor training fop
those companies to include tele->
phone procedure, communication
equipment, and FM radio and;
tank telephone communication.
They also concentrated on the
v e h i c u l a r characteristics and-,
maintenance of the M48 tank and
M59 armored personnel carrier,,
the proper driving procedure of.
both vehicles, turret familiariza--
tion, the range finder and the
conduct of fire, which included
knowledge of antitank weapons.
The armored training terminated!
with an "armored military stakes
test" which tested proficiency of
the armored cadets on the train­ing
they had undergone during
the summer camp.
Jerome D. McKinstry, Jr., Bir­mingham,
recived his commission
as second lieutenant along with
101 other cadets who had already
recived their baccalaureate de­grees.

Hold It I
WITH NORMAN BROWN
You have a camera, film and subject; you slip in a flash
bulb and click the shutter. You assume that if the bulb goes
off and you don't forget to roll the film that the picture will
turn out o.k.
But to your dismay some of the shots are too dark while
some are too light or "washed
out."
The range of most flash bulbs
which may be used with a box
camera is from seven to 20 feet.
When color film is used this
range may be cut from a maxi­mum
of 20 feet to the maximum
of 12 or 15 feet.
Although most flash pictures are
made indoors, occasions do arise
—such as graduation exercises,
ball games or parties when a flash
may be needed at night.
Fisheries Authority
To Take Part
In Science Congress
Pr. H. S. Swingle, A u b u rn
fisheries authority, will take part
in the tenth Pacific Science Con­gress
to be held Aug. 20-Sept. 2
in Honolulu, Hawaii.
This is the third consecutive
Congress of the Pacific Science
Association to be attended by
Swingle, fish culturist of the Ag­ricultural
Experiment Station. He
presented papers reporting re­sults
of his fish culture research
at the 1953 Congress in the
Philippines and at the 1957 ses­sions
held in Thailand.
His trip is being financed by a
transportation grant f r o m the
National Science Foundation.
Dr. Swingle is currently serv­ing
as chairman of the Fisheries
Subcommittee of the Freshwater
Sciences Committee. He w i 11
serve as chairman of a sympos­ium
on progress and recent devel­opment
in pond fish culture, in
which reports will be made on
work in 13 nations. The associa­tion
has members from all non-communist
countries bordering
the Pacific.
Travel plans c a l l for Dr.
Swingle to leave Auburn August
13 and drive to San Francisco. He
will fly from there to Honolulu
for the Congress and return to
the West Coast following the
meeting.
A recognized world authority
on fish culture as a result of his
pioneering research at the- Au­burn
Experiment Station, Swingle
has been in demand to aid fore­ign
countries in fish production.
In 1957 he made an around-the-world
trip, serving as fisheries
consultant in Israel and consul­tant
in India and assisted Thai­land
researchers in establishing
new fisheries projects. During
this trip the researcher present­ed
papers at the Pacific Science
Congress held in Bangkok, Thai­land.
Early this year Swingle was in­vited
to review fresh water and
marine fisheries research of the
Indian Government. He joined
marine fisheries specialist Dr. C.
E. Lucas of Scotland in the two-month
assignment which was
handled through the Rockefeller
Foundation.
Student Awarded Grant
Donald Neill Holley, Florence,
has been awarded a grant from
the Smith Loan Fund for the
•1961-62 academic year here. The
award was made by President
-Ralph B. Draughon, upon recom­mendation
of the scholarship
.committee.
Colleges of the South have been
putting a lower percentage of
their total funds into capital out­lay
than the public schools have.
Care should be taken to see
that the subject is NOT over "20
or 25 feet from the camera. Ten
feet can mean the difference be­tween
an evenly exposed photo­graph
or one which is entirely
black except for a gray and white
spot in the middle.
Indoors a flash may be used a
bit more freely since the subject
will usually be closer to "the cam­era'and
the walls and ceiling re­flect
some light which would
have been lost.in- an outdoor night
picture. Group pictures in large
auditoriums and pictures made
from the-audience-or stage should
be avoided.
When you know that you will
be shooting over a great distance
with a unadjustable camera, there
are a number of things you may
do to increase its range. Use the
largest flashbulbs that your cam­era
will take and buy Tri-X or
Super Hy-Pan film rather than
the Verichrome Pan or other film
which you may be using. .
If your camera has a setting for
color films, this may be used to
add a few feet to the range of
your flash, since it allows greater
exposure with the existing light.
Close-up pictures or pictures in
which the subject is 10 feet or
less from the camera may appear
white, toneless and washed out.
This is caused by too much
light hitting directly on the sub­ject.
The quickest remedy for
this is a handkerchief over the
flashbulb. Many cameras have
their own flash guard made with
a frosted plastic which will work
even better than a handkerchief.
This handkerchief or "flash
guard" serves a twofold purpose
—it cuts down and softens the
amount of light from the flash­bulb
and protects the individual
in case a bulb explodes when it
fires.
This summer Joe Wolfe and I
have tried to give a brief run­down
on the fundamentals of box
camera photography. We hope
you have gained something from
the tips we have passed on to
you and maybe augmented your
picture-taking skill.

Samford H a l l -
Has Offices,
Vivid History
BY BECKY JONES
Of The Plainsman Staff
-Samford Hall, the school's ad­ministration
building, h o u s e s a
colorful history, along w i t h a
good number of the school's of­fices.
•The structure, which was built
in 1859, burned down once, was
used -as - a hospital at one time,
and was the official time-keeper
for classes every hour.
The two-towered edifice was
constructed as the main building
of the East Alabama Male Col­lege.
Italian in design, it cost
$75,000.
In 1862 school was suspended,
and the building became a hospi­tal
during the war between the
states.
Five years later, on June 24,
1887 the structure was destroyed
by fire. Enough was left to re­build,
and a year later the new
Samford Hall was constructed.
The building was rebuilt by
Bruce and Morgan architects, and
a James Smith and Co., contrac­tor.
An eight-year-old boy, Charles
B. Glenn, was given the honor of
placing the first brick.
It was not until May 1929 that
3-Htm PLAINSMAN
Friday, August 18, 1961
the building was officially named
Samford Hall, after Gov. Williafn
James Samford.
At that time, no electrically
controlled bells rang every hour
for classes, and the great bell in
the larger tower was the official
dismissal bell. Now the bell tolls
the hour day and night. •<
The edifice has a basement and
three floors. Its dimensions of 159
feet by 72 feet house 50 rooms.
At one time or another each of,
the rooms have been remodeled to
meet the changes of the growing
college.
One of the changes that did not
"pan • out" was the construction
of wooden steps in 1888. Every­thing
else in the building fared
well ,but the steps fell down in
1920. They were promptly recon­structed,
however, and still stand
today.
The building's tower may be
seen from practically all parts
of the campus. C o u n t l e ss
photographs have been made' of
the tower which has become prac­tically
as a symbol of Auburn. .
If Samford could speak it would
tell countless anecdotes of what
it has seen—all the students in
Auburn's history . . . the school's
entire history . . . its happy mo­ments
. . . its tragedies . . . i ts
growth. . . .

A Solution . . .
IN RECENT issues of The Plainsman, both extremes of the
question of federal aid to education have been ex­pounded:
One side claims federal aid is bad because it would
mean that the federal government can exercise control
over the school to which it gives aid. In other words, that
the federal government can tell us what should or should
not be taught here.
The other side says we need federal aid, and that we
would derive nothing but benefits from such aids.
It seems the bad fault is going to extremes. As every­thing
in nature tends to attain equillibrium, this issue
., could do likewise—find a happy medium.
It is common sense that if we were to accept federal
aid, the first question would be: "What does the federal
government want in return?"
The reply would determine whether that aid is to be
* accepted or not. We certainly—and it is foolish to think
.otherwise—would not accept aid if we would have to give
f^iUp certain freedoms which we now enjoy, or if we had to
i conform to a strict regimentation set up by the federal
- government.
The obvious solution:
(1) To ascertain that the school receiving the aid
, knows exactly what is expected of it in return before it
i accepts that aid.
(2) A board, made up of state and federal members,
possibly appointed by the state Legislature, would deter­mine
how much aid should be given any particular school.
If the federal government and the school receiving
the aid agree on terms, the federal aid would be a Godsend
for many schools and yet they would not have to abide by
any later "regimentation."
Under such conditions, the aid from the federal gov­ernment
would have the qualities which one of the ex­tremes
claims—the much needed boost of the education
level.
On the other hand, any control by the federal govern­ment
would be affixed beforehand. If the school in question
does not go along with the government's proposals, they do
not have to accept the aid.
AT THE SUMMER'S END...
THIS SUMMER, The Plainsman broke a few records and
set a few precedents. Some of those were:
(1) The first aerial staff photo appeared in the paper.
On a previous occasion, an aerial photo appeared in a
Plainsman, but it was not made by the staff.
(2) The first underwater staff photo also appeared
. this summer.
(3) The paper enjoyed its largest staff ever. Some 40
members were chosen out of about 120 students who said
they wished to work with us.
(4) The Plainsman was responsible for starting an
international organization (INTERCOL) this summer.
(5) Lastly, this week's 20-page issue is a record-breaker.
The previous record size issue was earlier this
summer, the Aug. 2, 16-page issue.
Not one of these accomplishments would have been
possible, however, if it had not been for the hard work
each member of the staff. Every one did more than his
share. In particular Bennie Sue Curtis, News Editor,
Charles McCay, Sports Editor, and Bob Nixon, Managing
.Editor. Each did commendable work to put out the paper
reach week.
It has been a pleasure and an honor to have worked
with a top-rate staff throughout this quarter.—Noel Leon.

Sorority Rushees Face Hectic Week;
Rush System Has Numerous Defects
By BENNIE SUE CURTIS
Next month hundreds of h i gh
school graduates will become col­lege
coeds and enter the mad whirl
known as sorority rush.
Over 300 new coeds will pledge
a sorority, but before they do they
will go through a week of rush.
Admittedly, the rush season is ex­citing
and a wonderful new ex­perience.
This is the way it should
be. At no other time can a girl
nieet so many people and attend
so many parties in one day.
However, the system of r u sh
now employed is a highly imprac­tical
and strenuous one. There are
a number of reasons why the
present system should be revised.
First, girls who go out for rush
get just that—rushed. Since rush
week coincides with orientation,
girls are constantly having to race
from meetings to parties and back.
Usually these rushees are so busy
concentrating on sorority activi­ties
that little attention is paid to
the orientation programs.
Secondly, placement exams also
coincide with rush week. Some­times
there are conflicts in sche­dules
which are annoying if not
exasperating. Future students can­not
possibly do their best on these
exams when under such pressure.
Often girls are tired and do not do
their best work. There have been
instances when individuals were
placed in the wrong classes be­cause
of these conditions.
In the third place there are too
many parties in one day. On the
first full day of rush each g i rl
visits all 11 sororities and then
goes for a round of 14 addi­tional
parties the next day. These
parties are supposed to let the
rushee see the sororities and de­cide
which ones to revisit. How­ever,
in such a limited amount of
time the rushee has a chance to
get a mere glimpse of each group
and often is too confused to know
which parties she enjoyed most.
From the viewpoint of the soro­rity
member the situation is equal­ly
bad. Most sororities hold a pre-rush
workshop where they make
final arrangements, name tags and
the like. In the past the sorority
chapter rooms were opened for
the groups and they could work
there. Recently, however, the so­rorities
have not had. access to
their rooms and have had to make
arrangements elsewhere, o f t en
causing conflicts with vacations
and other planned activities.
The short time which the mem­bers
have to get acquainted with
the rushees presents another prob­lem.
Each member has only a few
moments to speak to each rushee.
How can a group decide whether
or not they want a girl for a life
long sister after conversing with
her only a short time?
I believe that there must be
some solution to the rush problem.
I would advocate deferred r u s h.
Under this plan rushees would
benefit by becoming more fami­liar
with the different groups and
would be able to choose their so­rority
more easily. The members
would be given a better chance to
get to know the girls.
I do not think we could ever
have such a program here. There­fore
I suggest that the rush sea­son
be extended at least a few
days to prevent the mental and
physical strain involved in match­ing
rushees to the group they will
be the happiest with.

Problems Presented
-But No Solution
Editor, The Plainsman:
Dear Sir:
During the past few months
The Plainsman has been behav­ing
similar to a doctor who has
discovered a new sickness, but
isn't trying to find a cure. Many
editorials (columns) have been
written a b o u t the banning of
Playboy from the newsstands of
Auburn, but to my knowledge a
practical solution for having them
put back on has not been pro­posed.
An advertisement on page 6 of
the Aug. 9 Plainsman, states, "The
Plainsman is Auburn's best med­ium
of advertisement." This may
be true, but the editorials don't
influence the merchants of Au­burn.
The editorials are fine for
influencing the student body, but
it is not the student body that
will decide to put Playboy back
on the newsstands.
Why should the merchants put
Playboy back on the newsstands?
The P.T.A. is pleased because
Playboy is not for sale in town,
so they continue to trade with
the city mechants. The students,
although they want Playboy on
the stands, also continue to trade
Berlin Situation
Becoming Worse;
What Can We Do?
By DAVID POYNOR
With each passing hour that
brings a news release, we are
forced to the realization that the
Berlin situation is becoming more
critical.
Khrushchev has now taken a
stand from which there can ,be
little if any backing down. The
problem of what action the U.S.
must take has become increasing­ly
grave. • ;.
What can we do? Our govern­ment
has also taken a stand from
which backing down is impossible.
President Kennedy has stated
that West Berlin shall retain :its
freedom from Communist con­trol.
To back down now and leaver
a free highway for Soviet ideas
to travel will have a most de­vastating
effect on the free world.
Khrushchev is continually call­ing
for peaceful negotiations, but
. . . The closing of the border
between East and West Berlin,
the erection of barbed wire fences
around railway stations and other
exits from East Berlin . . ; do not
encourage peaceful settlements.
That this action can only lead to
the eruption of mob violence has
already b e e n demonstrated in
both East and West Berlin.
The Soviet Union's "iron cur­tain"
suddenly became a living
reality Sunday as the East Ger­man
Army backed by Soviet
tanks moved to the border sep­arating
East and West Berlin. The
5,000 U.S. troops stationed in West
Berlin have been alerted. As to
what will develop now, we can
only wait and see.
President Kennedy, full of calm
determination, has said that the
U.S. seeks no war and will go' to
any honorable length to avoid it.
If we must fight, he said, it will
not be merely for Berlin, but
for Western Allied rights in that
last outpost of the free world.
Aside from this distant post,
and yet of equal importance,
there remains Castro and Cuba.
This small island in the Carib­bean
also poses a major threat to
the free countries of the world,
especially those of the Western
Hemisphere.
Separated as we are by only 90
miles of water, complete Com­munist
domination of Cuba could
well prove to be disastrous to the
U. S.
• It appears that for the present
we shall go on waiting and
watching, but at the same time
begin preparation for what ever
comes. President Kennedy has
begun this preparation with the
$3.25 billion defense budget and
draft increase. I wonder if this
will be sufficient. If war should
erupt, let us not be caught lack­ing.
in town. The merchants have" no
reason to put Playboy back on the
stands.
The Aug. 9 edition also states,
"the mechants who advertise with
us are aware of the buying pow­er
of the student body." The stu­dent
body can make this buying
power felt and use it to their
advantage. I propose action by
the student body to be taken be­cause
of the following reasons:
(1) The high mark up on goods
in town.
(2) Because we are not able to
buy literature we desire to read
in town.
I offer the following proposals
to help influence the Auburn
merchants to remedy this situa­tion.
I think one or more might
aid the student interest.
(1) Buy your fall clothes in

All Student Poll Shows Varied Reactions To Berlin Crisis
Twelve summers ago the Au­burn
students were polled con­cerning
the Korean conflict. With
the world tense over the Berlin
crisis, this paper is taking the
opportunity to see how the Au­burn
students feel toward the ac­tion
of our president and what
they believe the outcome will be.
Fifteen students were picked at
random and asked this question:
"What is your opinion of the Ber­lin
situation and President Ken­nedy's
reaction concerning this
problem?"
The answers received were var­ied,
but one point appeared more
than any other. Most of the stu­dents
believe that there will be
a "peaceful settlement" through
negotiations.
This was not intended to be a
campus-wide poll, but rather a
symposium. The answers to the
question are as follows:
"Khrushchev w i l l save some
face by signing his peace treaty
with the East German puppet re­gime,
but this should amount to
nothing more than an exchange
of authority as to who admits the
allies through routes of aqcess to
Berlin."—Jim Phillips, 4BA, At­lanta.
"I am ready to fight if neces­sary,
but I don't believe it will
evolve into war. If war should
erupt, we should hit Cuba. I think
President Kennedy did the only
possible thing he could do."—
Ranee Kirby, Wedowee, Ala.
"I don't believe Khrushchev is
ready to fight a major war and
that he will back down before it
comes to that. Kennedy is doing
the right thing in building 4ip
forces. If war comes the U.S. will
be better prepared." — Barbara
Armstrong, 1ED., Opelika
"It is hard to tell what Khru­shchev
is up to. He says he doesn't
want war and in \he same- breath
begins rattling off about war. It is
hard to understand w h a t ' he
really means. It may evolve into
a limited police action as in Ko­rea,
but I don't believe a nuclear
war will result. Kennedy has
made the right stand in being
firm and indicating that the U.S.
will not back down."—Jim Wil­liams,
4EE, Dyersburg, Tenn.
"It is a touchy situation. The
way things are going now, I don't
believe talk will settle it. Some
type of drastic action will have
to be taken, even if it means war.
Kennedy's stand has had good
psychological reactions but it will
have to go further than it has
now. I prefer a peaceful settle-merit,
but if necessary I am ready
to fight."—Ellis Hayes, 2BA, Bes­semer.
"There will be a lot of negotia­tion
but there probably won't a
war. If there should be a war it
will be most devastating, even to
this country. I don't believe the
U.S. and her allies will back
down. Kennedy is definitely tak­ing
the right stand, especially
with the world situation as tense
as it is." — Sidney Pope, 3AA,
Robertsdale.
"I think Russia is afraid of
military war, but will probably
continue as a cold war. Both sides
fear that they might lose. I think
Kennedy is doing the Tight thing."
—Marilyn Knox, 1 Pre-Dent,
Aliceville.
"The United States has been
pushed as far as they can go.
After the happenings in Cuba and
Laos, the U.S. must stand up now
or lose what little face they have
left in the world. I do not believe
that Khrushchev will start a war
over the Berlin situation."—Bill
Mattox, 3BA, Gadsden.

strong stand in Berlin and not
back down an inch. The increas­ing
number of refugees from East

Berlin prove that the people of
that sector are dissatisfied and
want intervention. I think Presi­dent
Kennedy is "jumping the
gun" and that there is no need
for his military increase at pre­sent."—
Carol Brodtmann, 1BA,
New Orleans, La.
"I feel that the Berlin situation
is over-emphasized and is an ef­fort
of the Democratic Party to
help stabilize an economic crisis.
I feel that there is a definite cri­sis
in existence and if any indi­vidual
nation was going to do
anything about it, it would.have
been done previously."— George
Hames, 2PG, Van Horn, Tex.
"I agree with President Ken­nedy's
stand to the fullest ex­tent."—
Earl Horton, 3ED, Brew-ton.
"I don't think there will be a
war. I believe it is beyond human
comprehension what the dynamic
effect war in Berlin will have on
the world, both economically and
socially."—Clay Orme, 4SL, Gads­den.
"I think Kennedy is doing the
right thing. It's time someone took
the initative. I think Russia will
back down. I don't believe that
they want war."—Vicki Steele,

increase in power. Both sides still

Alligator Extracting
Comes Cheap Now
(Nowadays we complain about
prices being high. Maybe not
everything is too expensive. Alli­gator

its not too high. One of our stu­dents
wrote of his escapade
with an alligator extracting. Here
is an extract from his letter.—
ED.)
Editor, The Plainsman;
" . . . last wekend I went down
to Plant City, Fla., to visit a
friend of mine. That Saturday
night, on my way back from a
date, I saw something win across
the road in front of my car. We
imagined many things—that it
was a skunk, etc.—but it turned
out to be an 18-inch alligator.
"I put him in the trunk of my
car and left a slight opening so
he could get air. The next.morn­ing
I couldn't find the animal,
so we supposed he got out
through the opening in the trunk.
"That is the last I saw of my
alligator, or heard of it—until. a
few days ago.
"I received a letter from home
telling me that they had found
my alligator. My parents got fax
the car one day and 'smelled
something fishy.'
"It turned out the gatpr had
crawled into a hole in-the trunk
and lodged itself within the body
of the car. The oar was-taken to
the local alligator extractors
(garage) where they cut into the
chasis and got him out.
"My parents sent me the bill
from the garage.
"Neat and nonchalant, the bill
read: 'remove alligator from body

like that at garages. . . ."

Federal Aid Letter
Distresses Student
Editor, The Plainsman,
I was very distressed by sev­eral
statements i n Mr. Simmons'
letter concerning federal aid to
education published in The
Plainsman of August 2nd.
First, I must point out that
the word education does not ap­pear
in the Constitution of the
United States. The Tenth Amend­ment
spells out in plain language
that "The powers not delegated
to the United States by the Con­stitution
. . . are reserved to the
states . . . " Until the Constitu­tion
is changed, federal aid to
education can be nothing other
than an invasion of the legal
sovereignty of the states.
Secondly, what money would
Alabama receive? It is Alabama
money, collected, allocated, dis­tributed
and controlled by the
U.S. Government without regard
to the wishes and needs of this
state. All that has happened to
this money is that Alabama has
given up all rights and claims to
its own resources. Could not this
very money be better handled by
the state, thereby preserving not
only the rights of Alabama, but
also saving the cost of the Wash­ington
bureaucracy?
As far as not fearing federal
control because we already have
so much state control, this sounds
too much like the man who
wouldn't go to the hospital be­cause
he was too sick. What do
the cloistered halls of Congress
care if Auburn students are cen­sored
in their expression of opin­ion?
Ask the same question of
the school administration and you
have the vital difference between
locaL a n d federal control. While
the reins of education are still in
the hands^of t h e state, we have a
chance to make our grievances
known. • . . •
Mr. Simmons ends his letter
with the inference that federal
aid will give Alabama -a better
equipped- school system than she
could afford herself. The White
House Conference on Education
in 1955 reported that: "No state
represented has demonstrated the
incapacity to build the schools
they will need during the next
five years." They further stated
that the need is not money, but
rather "political determination

powerful enough to overcome all
the obstacles." In the years since
this conference, through hundreds
of hours of congressional com­mittee
hearings, these findings
have never been contradicted.
The Alabama school system is
nothing more and nothing less
than what the citizens of this
state want it to be. If it is not,
the blame can be put nowhere
but on the people. The real need
of the schools is public support.
This support will come, whether
local, state, or federal, from the
pocketbooks of the people of Ala­bama.
The difference only lies
in who says how the money will
be used.
If you do not feel competent
to carry out your responsibilities
and privileges as a citizen, per­haps
the federal aid program is
what you need. But on the other
hand, if compulsion without auth­ority
and usurpation of rights
affect you as they do me, we will
stand together and turn "thumbs
down" on Washington's "Raw
Deal."
Sincerely,
Philip C. William*
(ft seems that the issue of fed­eral
aid to education boils -down
to a simple fact: We will accept
the aid (money) but we do not
wish to accept federal control
over our schools, i.e., what cur­ricula
to have, etc: On page 4
there appears an editorial which
proposes a solution. Maybe we
can't have ou cake and eat it,

Co-op Education
Unit At Auburn
Proves Popular
Auburn University has the only
^Cooperative education department
i n Alabama. It is one of 100 in the
*ation. The department has been
3n continuous operation since
1937. At present 325 students in
^engineering and related fields are
•*nrolled for work and study in
the program. Room exists for
Snore.
A student is normally accepted
Alto the program after three suc­cessful
quarters of on-campus
Academic labor. Thereafter, he
aiust maintain a "C" average or
tietter each quarter. W i t h the
Company to which he is assigned,
l ie is placed in a job parallel to
ids major academic field. During
"the period he is in the program,
he will spend 21 months on the
job. He may complete his four
year college curriculum in five
years.
Charles Gearing, director of the
department, strongly impresses
the academic value of the pro­gram
to each participant. "The
Object of the program is educa­tional
rather than financial," he
Said. "While the student is get­ting
valuable experience, how­ever,,
he also receives wages."
Gearing reports that the aver­age
-"co-op" student begins his
program in the $300 a month
Tange. A recent survey here show-
-*d that among Auburn graduates
the former "co-op" students be­gin
their careers at salaries vary­i
n g from $25 to $50 monthly high-
'*r than do conventional graduates.
Participating companies like the
program. About 65 Southern com­panies
participate in the plan with
Auburn. Many are Alabama -
•based.
One of the problems from Gear­ing's
standpoint is getting enough
qualified students to fill demands
i r om the companies. In that con­nection
he said, "It is our respon­sibility
to inform high school stu­dents
and the people of Alabama
about the program."
The department how is initiat­ing
a graduate cooperative pro­gram
with the National Aeronau­tics
and Space Administration at
the Marshall Space Flight Center.
Cooperative education on the
graduate level is relatively new;
nevertheless, Gearing hopes to
have at least 20 students enrolled
to that venture by next August.

Nixes 'Sacred Cows'
In Kindergartens
A prominent authority in pre­school
education condemned cer­tain
"sacred cows"—the tradi­tional
use of coloring books,
"work" books, and sewing cards
—in American kindergartens in
a conference of educators here
last week.
Dr. Ada Stephens, professor of
education at the University of
Toledo, observed, moreover, that
"such planned programs as for--
rrial graduation exercises are vir­tually
useless in kindergarten."
Speaking before a group of ap­proximately
200 Alabama and
Georgia kindergarten teachers, at
the sixth annual Auburn Univer­sity
Kindergarten Conference, Dr.
(Stephens made a plea that the chil­dren
be allowed to find their own
outlet for the creativity which is
known to spring from newly-ac­quired
knowledge.
She emphasized that teachers
lacking in a clear understanding
of their young charges' needs are
effectively blocking the children's
growth at a period when learning
pbwer is at a peak.
.Dr. Stephens reminded her au­dience
that, in kindergarten more
than in any other phase of edu­cation,
the program of instruc­tion
must be governed by what is
best for the children. She vigor­ously
attacked the view that sche­duled
programs, "parent nights,"
or holiday bulletin boards should
receive the same attention as a
child's earliest attempts at learn­ing.
Dr. Stephens explained, "The
primary responsibility of the
teacher lies not in the regulation
of the child's growth, but in in­suring
that adult interests do not
take precedence over the best in­terests
of the child."
Equipment Group
Gathers On Campus
For Summer Confab
The summer meeting of Ala­bama
Farm Equipment Associa­tion
was held here last week in

I. F. Reed, principal agricul­tural
engineer of the National
Tillage Machinery Laboratory
here, opened the program with
a color slide presentation on the
International F a r m Machinery
Exposition at Cairo, Egypt, which
he supervised.
Speaking on "Why You Should
Be Interested in the Pesticide
Residue Problem," was Dr. Wayne
Arthur, associate entomologist of
the Agricultural Experiment Sta­tion.
Presiding at the 12:30 lunch­eon
last Thursday was association
president E. M. King Jr., Atmore.
National director A. A. Nettles,
Peterman, and counselor E. C. Al­len,
Piedmont, made reports during

IFC Coordinates
Fraternity Work/
Plans Greek Week
• By ANN RISHBR
The functions of Auburn's In-terfraternity
Council are many
and varied. The main job of the
council is to coordinate all activi­ties
of the 22 fraternities and
three colonies on campus.
The council promotes intra­mural
sports each year, giving a
trophy for athletics. The group
also has as a goal bettering the
scholarship of the fraternities.
Two scholarships are given yearly
to foreign students and the coun­cil
publishes its "Guide to Effi­cient
Study."
The community and service
projects of the organization in­clude
the sponsoring of a c h i ld
under the Foster Parents Plan and
promoting the blood drives and
all-campus fund drives.
During the regular academic
year IFC activities are carried
out by three officers—president,
vice-president a n d secretary-treasurer—
and one representative
from each fraternity.
7—THE PLAINSMAN . . ' . ..
Friday, August 18, 1961
During winter quarter the IFC
sponsors its annual Greek Week
during which a coed is chosen to
reign as Greek Goddess. Each
sorority nominates a candidate
for the title and each candidate
visits all the fraternity houses,*"
making a- short speech. Greek
Week is climaxed by the announ­cement
of the goddess at a dance
featuring popular entertainers.
Having an" exceptional IFC,
Auburn won the 1957 award for
the outstanding council in the
nation. Jimmy Riley, summer
president, hopes for another such
award this year and says, "This
year we have new organizations
and ideas going into the IFC and
are working toward that goal."
He also stated, "I believe this
goal can be attained because of
the interest a n d enthusiasm
shown by the officers and the co­operation
of all the Greeks."
This summer the council work­ed
in committees because some of
the fraternities were not active.
Committees worked with Riley to
revise the IFC constitution, which
will be presented to the entire
assembly this fall, and to coordi­nate
rush activities.

By JOHN CURRY
One of the oldest of all firie
fabrics is linen. It's old in use
because it's a "natural" fabrie
made from plant fibers. It's a fav­orite
in such things as handker­chiefs
because of its tendency to
become softer and softer the
more it is used and cleaned.
Linen is also used in clothing.
However, because good linen is
expensive, and because the desir­able
softening quality is not al­ways
desirable in a suit or dress'
there are today a great many
"linen-like" fabrics used in gar­ments.
They have the look and
feel and weave of linen, but they
may be actually made of silk o?
rayon or some other synthetic fi­ber.
These synthetic linens have
their advantages. They can be
made to be "stiffer" and crisper
than real linen. And they are less
costly. However, they have their
disadvantages, too. They can't
take the repeated washings and
cleanings in the same way linen
can. Linen bounces back from
abuse. The man-made "linens"
must be handled with care, clean­ed
with the techniques used for
the particular fabric in question.
When you bring these or any
other fabrics to us for cleaning,
we test to determine just what
cleaning materials and methods
should be used for safe, thorough
results. Whatever the garment,
we'll make it fresh, bright and
beautiful . . . safely. We pickup
and deliver.

"War Eagle!"
Probably the best-known, best-beloved
saga of the initial "War
Eagle!" cites a football game
about the turn of the century as
the occasion and time. In a pinch,
the Auburn team decided to try
psychological strategy. As the
boys came out of the huddle, they
shouted "Bald Eagle!" and thus
unnerved the strongest of. t h e i r
opponents, a strapping Indian
boy. The crowd, mistaking the
name, soon filled the field with
"War Eagles."
The last of the "comprehensive
and concrete" stories is that of
Professor W. W. Hill, who be­lieves
he first heard the cry about
1907-08, years after he had be­come
a permanent resident of
Auburn.
Two Auburn students, one, Pitt
Moon, boarding in the former
Askew home on S. Gay Street, the
other, his friend, living some dis­tance
away, used to k e e p in
touch in night time via vocal
cords.
Why they chose "War Eagle!"
as their "leif motif" no one
knows. Perhaps they borrowed
the phrase from Indian lore; may­be
the picture of the Sioux chief,
War Eagle, noted by James B.
Crawford, inspired them. At any
rate, everyone heard it.
And everyone at Auburn will
continue to hear it. "War Eagle"
has become a part, actually the
core, of our tradition.
In that cry the Auburn Spirit
has come to be embodied. The
uncertain "history" of the call,
though fascinating, is at most,
only loosely linked to the mean­ing
"War Eagle!" carries for us
today.
And it is that meaning which is
so significant. With this cry are
sounded the elements of Auburn's
enthusiasm, friendliness, good­will—
but no one can or should
try to "define" a spirit.
Better to simply allow t h a t
spirit to express itself naturally

Auburn Professor
Delivers Speech
At Civic Club
"Training of Exceptional Chil­dren"
was the topic of a speech
delivered recently by a professor
of the School of Education at a
local civic club.
Dr. William Dome told mem­bers
of the club that approxi­mately
12 per cent of the chil­dren
in this country are excep­tional—
mentally advanced or r e ­tarded.
"It is frustrating to the re­tarded
child to call on him to do
the same work as a normal child,"
said Dome. "The four million ex­ceptional
children in the U.S. can
be helped with proper training
and assistance from teachers
trained to work with this group."
Dome s a i d that Alabama is
moving forward in this field with
over 300 special classes for re­tarded
children. There is a class
in Auburn, one in Opelika, and
a new class is being formed joint­ly
for the two communities.
"It is satisfying as well as good
economics to develop these young
people to become productive citi­zens,"
said Dome. "Aside from
the human aspects of the work, it
may cost society $3 per day or
close to $1,000 a year to maintain
a mentally retarded person in an
institution. With proper help and
training as a child, he can hold a
productive job and earn his live­lihood."
Two tourists w e r e driving
through the maple syrup district
of Vermont. Noticing the shiny
tin syrup buckets hung low on
the trunks of the trees, one of
them exclaimed in astonishment,
"My goodness, they certainly
have a sanitary bunch of dogs
around here."

. Construction is now underway on the new men's dormitory
unit across from Graves Apartments on Samford Ave. The unit
will consist of two buildings; one will contain sleeping quarters
and the other will be a lounge and cafeteria. These buildings,
which will house the college athletes, will be completed by Aug­ust
of 1962.

AU Credit Union
Part Of National
Faculty and other school em­ployees
are now operating 1,262
credit unions in the United States,
according to the Credit Union Na­tional
Association.
CUNA's recently released 1961
Credit Union Yearbook shows
that more than 6 per cent of
the 20,293 credit unions in the
United States at the end of 1960
were formed by educators.
The majority of. these credit
unions—more than 1,000—serve
faculty and employees in primary
and secondary schools, and there
are close to 200 credit unions
serving universities and colleges.
It is estimated that more than
one-half million teachers are be­ing
served by credit unions.
The Auburn University Credit
Union was organized in the sum­mer
of 1960 to serve the faculty
and staff of Auburn University.
The AU Union is affiliated with

of pathology and parasito­logy,
and Dr. William G. Dacres,
animal disease research, are pre­sently
engaged in parasite re­search
here.
The research concerns t he
mechanism of immunity against
the Hymenolejris nana, a parasi­tic
tapeworm which occurrs in
mice and man.
The two-year program will
study how the parasite invades
the tissues of its host animal, and
how it is destroyed within the
tissues of an immune animal.
Mice are being used for the ex­periment,
and it is assumed that
the findings will also be valid for
man.
The project is being supported
by a $23,111 research grant from

and will continue until Aug. 31,
with performances every night
except Saturday.
The'entire cast is composed of
residents of this city and stu­dents
from Auburn University.
Other local persons have had a
big hand in production.
Lynn Curtis, who teaches danc­ing
in Auburn and Opelika, was
choreographer and serves as
master of ceremonies. He also
dances and sings in the show.
Kelly Collum, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. R. Collum of Auburn,
has served as assistant director.
He also takes the role of Squire
Cribbs, the play's villain.
Jean Parker, daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. W. V. Parker of Au­burn,
is the youngest member of
the cast. She is 15 and completed
the ninth grade at Auburn High
School last year. Jean will go to
Dallas in September to attend
the Hockaday School on a $1,500
scholarship. At Gatlinburg, Jean
is in the "sing-along' at the be­ginning
of the play; she takes the
role of a villager in three scenes,
"Julia" in three others, and "Ma­dame
Popover" in an "unclassical
ballet."
Betty Holladay, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Lawrence Holladay of
Auburn and an Auburn Univer­sity
sophomore, portrays the part
of Mrs. Wilson and is a villager
in several scenes. She also per­forms
in a tavern floorshow with
four other dancers.
Karen Landrum, daughter of
Mrs. Frances Landrum and also
an AU sophomore, is in the show
as a villager and as Princess Te-hani,
the "darling of the islands."
Other members of the cast are
these AU -students: Ranny Car-mack
and Reginald Ted Brown,
both of Phenix City; Tonya Vines,
Bay Minette; Judy Baker, Bir­mingham;
Wyatt'Deloney, Ozark;
Bob Eason, LaFayette, and Ro­ger
Johnson, Eclectic. Carmack
has the title role. Elizabeth John­son
of Notasulga is organist.
One Gatlinburg resident said of
the current production: "This is a
play in which no one person
should be envious of any other.
There is not just ONE star. They
all star. Such a talented group!"
How does the production hap­pen
to have an all-Auburn cast
this season? In the summer of
1960, Jean Parker and her parents
saw "The Drunkard" in Gatlin­burg,
and Jean asked the producer
about auditioning for him the
next spring. Later she wrote that
Auburn has many talented per­sons
who might like to play in
summer stock. The producer de­cided
to select the entire cast here.
Martin Rice of the Auburn mu­sic
faculty helped pick the cast
and worked with the group here
last spring. Kelly Collum directed
later.
Stan Sellers of Birmingham,
who produced the play for three
years, died on Aug. 1. The cast
performed two hours after learn­ing
of his death, dedicating that
performance to him..

Plant Pathologist
Joins Auburn Staff
Dr. Norman E. McGlohon is a
man not yet known to many Ala­bama
farmers, gardeners or
homemakers.
But all of them who ever had
a problem with an ailing plant,
be it cotton or a rose bush, will
be glad to know he's working in
their interest.
The South Carolina native fills
the new position of plant patho­logist
on the Auburn University
Extension Service staff. His aim:
to help Alabamians in their battle
to reduce the millions of dollars
that are lost each year to plant
diseases.
McGlohon, who this year recei­ved
his doctorate in plant patho­logy
from North Carolina State
College, is working with county
Extension personnel and other
Extension specialists to provide
answers on prevention and con­trol
of plant diseases.
"With the squeeze on farm pro­fits
getting higher," McGlohon
stated, "effective prevention and
control of plant diseases have as­sumed
a vitally important role in
Alabama agriculture."
Each year such diseases cut the
value of the state's cotton crop
by $15 to $20 million, and damage
to peanuts is estimated at an-
National Tillage Machinery laboratory
Among Exceptional Research Facilities
By CHARLES McCAY
Among Auburn's exceptional research facilities there is
at least one that is the only one of its kind in the United
States—the National Tillage Machinery Laboratory of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
The laboratory is a part of the Agricultural Engineering
Research Division of the Agricul
tural Research Service. It is lo­cated
on the Auburn campus on a
site furnished to the Federal Gov­ernment
by the Alabama Experi­ment
Station.
The laboratory was established
in 1933 as a result of an appro­priation
granted by the U.S. Con­gress.
It started operation' in
1935.
"The purpose of the labora­tory
at present," said Director
Arthur W. Cooper, "is to deter-other
$7 to $8 million.
"If you count everything—all
crops, lawns, pastures and gar­dens—
the annual damage will
run into tremendous figures," he
declared.
"In many cases" said Dr. Mc­Glohon,
"good management prac­tices—
seed treatment, crop rota­tion,
use of chemicals—can great­ly
reduce plant disease damage."
"But," he pointed out, "many
diseases can't be detected by the
naked eye. That is why it is
necessary to u s e laboratory
equipment, including microscopes,
to find the causal agent.
"Every plant, no matter what
kind, is susceptible to disease, so
we fight a continuous battle.
"Prevention is better than a
cure. If you wait until you see
some of these things it's too late."
Dr. McGlohon frequently diag­noses
diseased plants which have
been referred to him by county
agents' offices.
He's found that nematodes—
microscopic worm parasites that
attack plant roots—are causing a
big share of Alabama plant dis­eases,
especially in fruit and
vegetable crops.
The pathologist, who has done
special work in the study of
nematodes, said the potential
damage is increased because often
times losses from these parasites
are hidden, and yields are reduc­ed
without the grower knowing
it.
McGlohon has long been inter­ested
in plant diseases. He taught
high school agriculture after re­ceiving
a bachelor's degree in
agricultural e d u c a t i o n from
Clemson College.
He returned to Clemson for a
master's degree in plant patho­logy
after discovering in teaching
that "60 per cent of my problems
