v~~* TTw Plmndmarv To Foster The Auburn Spirit
VOLUME 87 Alabama Polytechnic Institute AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1959 8 Pages NUMBER 8
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES from the University of Alabama
came to Auburn last Tuesday to discuss better relations between
the two student bodies during the Auburn-Alabama football
weekend. Leading the discussions were Martha Sue Duke,
president of WAS and the Alabama; Boolie Hill, president of the
Auburn student body; Sydna Roton, president of the Auburn
WSGA, and Max Pope, president of the Alabama Student body.
Alabama-Auburn faculty, students
discuss joint paper, parade plans
Joint publication of a student newspaper, non-degrading
parade decorations, and other means of improving student
relations were principal topics of discussion at the Alabama-
Auburn better relations meeting here last week. As a guide
for the annual conference, the faculty and student leaders
used the minutes of last year's
meeting and adopted its resolutions.
The major item discussed was
a proposal that The Plainsman
and the University's The Crimson-
White jointlypublish a paper
to be distributed at the Alabama-
Auburn game in Birmingham
Nov. 28. Cost of printing the suggested
30,000 copies would be
shared by the two schools. The
issue was proposed as visible
proof of the cooperative spirit
between the University and Auburn.
The Auburn publications board
voted this week to defer a joint
issue pending further financial
study.
As in the past, decorations for
the pre-game parade m u s t be
aimed at boosting the entrant's
school, not degrading the opponents.
Alabama will lead the parade
this year.
Another resolution a d o p t ed
from last year agrees to publish
exchange editorials in the college
papers preceeding the game. Dates
of the issues are Nov. 24 for The
Crimson-White and Nov. 25 for
The Plainsman.
Every effort will be made to
discourage property damage during
the weekend of the game.
Should some occur, the school of
the offending party will be responsible
for restitution and taking
disciplinary action.
The meeting of the two schools
was cflnsidered successful in several
wMfe by those attending. Besides
^romplishing the primary
purpose of discussion and adoption
of measures to promote better
relations between the two schools
during the annual football game,
leaders from the University expressed
pleasure over Auburn's
enthusiasm for the interests of
both schools.

University Cavaliers, Auburn Knights
to clash at Glom-ODK Beauty Ball
BY JIM KILPATRICK
The traditional clash between
Alabama's two state universities
will begin a week early this year
when the University of Alabama
Cavaliers and the Auburn University
Knights engage in a
"Battle of the Bands" at the annual
ODK-Glomerata Beauty Ball
on November 20. That date comes
one week before the big gridiron
spectacle.
Bobo Starke, ODK president,
and Jim Williams, Glomerata
editor, in announcing plans for
11
X-ray units here
Mobile x-ray units have. 0;
been located in front of the
Auburn Union s i n c e last
week, offering free chest x-rays
to students, faculty, and
college employees.
Operating from 8 until 12
each morning and from 1
until 4 in t h e afternoon,
these units will be on campus
until noon, Friday. This
program-is sponsored by the
Auburn Health Service.
An x-ray is simple and
quick, yet vital in detecting
certain forms of diseases
such as tuberculosis and
lung cancer. Registration is
inside the Union building
where members of t he
health service are stationed.
After being assigned a number,
the student is then directed
to the x-ray unit. No
undressing is required, and
the process is quickly completed.
2 Auburn students
to attend NYC meet
of designers' group
Harold H. Floyd and Charles
M. Patterson, Auburn students of
industrial design, will attend the
15th annual fall conference of the
American Society of " Industrial
Designers. The conference is scheduled
for the Hotel Statler Hilton
in New York City tomorrow and
Friday.
Theme of the conference is
"Planning By Design—In A World
of Product Change." Participating
will be several hundred executives
concerned with the product-planning
process.
Thirty-six schools throughout
the nation now offer graduate and
undergraduate instruction in industrial
design.
In a memorandum to both members
of the ASID Education Committee
and the heads of campus
industrial design departments,
Raymond Spilman, a fellow of the
ASID and chairman of its Education
Committee, said that student
attendance at the conference
"should give the student designer
a comprehension of associating industrial
design into the total corporate
and professional service
picture. Many ASID members
agree that there has been a lack
of. orientation in this area."
The American Society of Industrial
Designers is a non-profit
national organization with membership
of 230 professionals whose
record of accomplishment indicates
competence in the field. It
provides a means by which practicing
industrial designers cooperate
to maintain standards of
ethics and standard's of professional
performance, and to foster
education for future industrial designers
and continuing education
for themselves.
the Beauty Ball, stated that in
addition to providing dance music
for the evening, the two groups
will vie with each other for the
musical appreciation and applause
of the audience as they
"battle" in the Student Activities
Building.
These two groups have come
to be known as the "name bands"
of college orchestras. Musically
excellent, they are among the finest
for all around performance
and showmanship. The Cavaliers
have provided the musical backing
for s u c h favorites as Pat
Boone and Frankie Laine. One of
the most popular parts of their
band is the jazz group known as
the "Dixie Eight." The Knights
are equally renowned, having
backed up Joni James, June
Christy and appeared with the
Four Freshmen. They too have
thier own jazz group. When these
two combos meet it should be a
real show.
Another highlight of the Beauty
Ball will be the presentation of
the 25 semi-finalists for Glomerata
beauties and the announcement
of the eight beauties-. Preliminary
judging is now being
conducted to narrow down the
contestants who have been nominated
by various campus groups.
Tickets for the Ball will go on
sale soon, priced at one dollar per
person. They may be bought from
any member of ODK or Squires,
in the Student Government Office
or at the main desk of the Auburn
Union.
Safety inspection
shows 1 of 4 cars
at API defective
407 of the 2,006 student automobiles
checked failed to pass the
Fall Quarter vehicle inspection,
announced Charles Stephens head
of the inspection.
The cars were defective in one
or more of the following items
during the inspection. Headlights
— dimmers included — tail-lights,
brake lights, brakes, horn,
muffler, and windshield wipers
were checked. If a car was defective
in any of the above areas,
the owner was to have it fixed as
soon as posible. Many of these deficiencies
have not been cured.
Chief Dawson reports that very
frequently automobiles are being
stopped for these reasons.
The inspection was held in order
that t h e Auburn students
would realize the responsibility in
maintaining good operating order
of their cars. Many accidents happen1
jeach week on the Auburn-campus
and elsewhere that probably
could h a v e been prevented
if these defects were altered in
time.
The safety committee urges
owners to remedy defects in automobiles.
During the remainder of
the quarter, owners of cars found
with these imperfections will be
punished by fines or revoking of
parking zone stickers.

Dr. R. F. Lawson
N. Y. biochemist
(o be guest speaker
here Tuesday night
Dr. R. F. DaWson, plant biochemist
of Columbia University,
will be the guest speaker at the
national lecture meeting of the
Auburn Chapter of the Society of
Sigma Xi here Tuesday at 7:30
p.m., Duncan Hall Studio.
In announcing the lecture meeting,
Dr. Kenneth Ottis, program
chairman, said that Dr. Dawson, a
distinguished scientist and national
Sigma Xi lecturer will
speak on "The Biosynthesis of. Tobacco
Alkaloids."
He will describe and interpret
experiments that have been conducted
for the last 20 years on alkaloid
biosynthesis. Alkaloids are
produced by many plants, but
have.Jjje^ei; been,, assigned a specific
physiological or biochemical
role. The chemical structures of
the alkaloids have long interested
the organic chemist, and their relationships
to other cellular constituents
have provided much
room for speculation regarding
possible biosynthetic pathways.
Dr. Dawson will describe also
the application of a, variety of
botanical, physical, and chemical
methods of exploration pathways
of alkaloid biosynthesis and of
patterns of origin and redistribution
of alkaloids in the tobacco
plant.
Dr. Dawson, a native of Muncie,
Ind., received his A. B. degree
from DePauw University and his
Ph. D degree from Yale University.
He was a National Research
Council fellow at Columbia University,
assistant professor at
Princeton University, and is now
professor of plant biochemistry at
Columbia University. Dr. Dawson
was co-founder of the Annual
Conference of Tobacco Chemists,
and founder of secretary of Annual
Conference of Plant Chemists
and Biochemists. He is recipient
of the Stephen Hales Research
Award, and is a member
of. the American Academy of
Science, American Chemical Society,
Botany Society of America.

Fund Drive to end at rally
The winner of the title of Rat
Cap Queen will be announced as
the climax of the All-Campus
Fund Drive tomorrow night at the
"Burn the Bulldog" pep rally.
Over $900 was raised through the
Queen contest, which was held
for the first time this year and
which boosted ACFD contributions
considerably.
Donations to the fund drive are
still coming in from various campus
groups; therefore, the final
figures will not be known for
several days.
The following girls were Rat
Cap Queen contestants: Carol
Ann Batson, sponsored by Alpha
Psi; Virginia Boyd, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon; Susan Copeland, Lambda
Chi Alpha; Gayle Culver. Sigma
Pi; Mary Forbus, Kappa Alpha;
Russie Lussier, Phi Delta Theta;
Gerrie Maria, Delta Chi; Patsy
McAnnally, Delta Upsilon; Margaret
Moore, Alpha Tau Omega;
Susan Murphree, Sigma Nu;
Joyce Ramsey, Tau Kappa Epsilon;
Sue Ellen Robinson, Sigma
Chi; Sue Thompson, Kappa Sigma;
Peggy Wilson, Pi Kappa Alpha.
Towers, independent women's
organization, aided the fund drive
by soliciting contributions which
totaled $40. Other groups which
ACFD chairman Ray Duncan cited
as being of special assistance
were Kappa Alpha Theta, which
raised $88 at its slave auction;
Delta Delta Delta, whose car wash
brought in $52; International Relations
Club, which canvassed C
and C Dorm, and Cherokee, Gen-elda,
and Auburn Halls.
Two special Fund Drive projects,
the Dime-A-Dance and the
Penny-A-Minute, raised $53 and
$198 respectively.
A breakdown of contributions
by fraternities and sororities will
be listed in next week's Plainsman.
Checks had not yet been
received from eleven of the fraternities
and from Magnolia Dormitories
at press time.
Chairman Duncan stated that
he thought that the fund drive
had gone exceptionally well. He
mentioned in particular the enthusiasm
for the Rat Cap Queen
Contest, which seemed to arouse
more interest in the fund drive
among the fraternities and sororities
than in previous years.

TV critic to lecture
Monday at Union
Norman • Shavin, outstanding
TV-Radio Editor and critic for
the Atlanta Journal, is coming to
the Union Ballroom Monday from
8-10 p.m. to present his well
known and m u c h appreciated
Norman Shavin Forum. A comedian-
commentator who lectures
about TV, Shavin has. fought for
better television programming
with his clever, satrical wit.
As someone once wrote him in
a letter, ". . . I've enjoyed your
mind, your opinions for a long,
long time . . • Keep criticizing;
You're an oasis in a desert of colorless
TV opinion . . . I search
for rare humor . . . You possess it
, . Please: help me laugh and
learn."
Because of s u c h tremendous
drawing power, he is widely
quoted and his services are constantly
asked for by nationally
prominent newspapers, magazines,
and celebrities. He has worked
with Jerry Lewis, Jack Parr,
Zorro, George Gobel, Sid Ceasar,
and a host of others, and has served
on the Sylvania TV Awards
Committee.
Mr. Shavin's motto, "Have fun,
will travel," is the basis for his
imaginative forum. All are invited
to stay after the admission-free
forum for an informal reception
to be held in honor of the
speaker.
Girls may have late permission
for this special event.
Traditional torch parade
to light off Georgia rally
War Eagle! Burn that Bulldog!
The traditional rivalry between
Auburn and the University of
Georgia will be officially set afire
once again tomorrow night at 7.
The festivities will begin on the
Union Building lawn at 1 p.m.
when bulldogs built and submitted
by each sorority will be judged as
to originality of design. Each year
a trophy is presented to the sorority
with the best bulldog.
At 7:15 p.m., a torchlight parade
will march from the Union Building
to Biggio Flats, where the
bulldogs will be thrown into a
bonfire.
Auburn spirit runs especially
high at this particular pep rally
as exemplified by the turn-out
last year of 3,000-4,000 students.
Biggin Hall exhibit
offers wide variety
of painting styles
Thirty-one paintings are on exhibition
in Biggin Hall's art gallery.
The display began last week
and will end Tuesday. Sponsored
by the School of Architecture and
the Arts, the exhibit features the
work of David Brison, Hazel
Bunce, John Heitzman, Ralph
Home, and Nicholas Orsini.
Brison, teacher of. design in Auburn's
Architecture Department,
defines his work as "somewhere
between Mondrian, abstract expressionists,
and the New Y o rk
school." Mrs. Bunce, who has studied-
at the Kansas^ City Art Institute,
has done her paintings in
abstract.
The work of Mr. Heitzman, former
head of the product design
department at the Kansas City
Art Institute, has been influenced
by Mondrian and the New York
school. Mr. Heitzman is now
teaching design at North Carolina
State.
Home, who received his Ph.D.
in chemistry from Columbia University,
has based his paintings on
the work of the northern Rennis-ance
and pre-Rennisance painters.
The work of Mr. Orsini is that
of abstract symbolism. He has
studied at the University of Florence
in Italy and taught at the
Boston Museum school. Mr. Orsini
can now be found teaching
design in Auburn's School of architecture.
The painters have displayed
their talents with oil, pen and ink,
tin, casein, and smoke. The variety
of subjects and presentation have
been described as interesting and
appealing.

understanding of all the fraternities.
This week in article

As in the other 21 fraternities
on campus, SAE is striving for all
the ideals that the founders of. a
fraternity propose—most of all
brotherhood. Brotherhood is the
hardest ideal to attain, but it differentiates
the real fraternity
from the poorer fraternities more
commonly known as eating-clubs.
In our opinion, SAE is a real

campus. Look around and you will
find SAE actively engaged—not
just represented—in a l l extra-curricula
activities. As a matter
of fact, this was almost their
downfall. They were so involved
in these activities that their scholastic
average was ranked 21st of
the 22 fraternities one year ago.
This year they have risen to 5th
place—quite an improvement.
SAE is known politically as one
of the powers in the all-campus
party, and they hold many positions
in Blue Key, ODK, and
many other honoraries. Their
power is not contained to politics
alone; it- overlaps into sports and
their Alumni association. In
sports, they have been finishing
in the top five fraternities in the
all-sports trophy competition.
The SAE house is just barely
visible to the passing motorist on
West Magnolia Avenue. The house
itself is located at the rear of the
lot, and a large portion of the lot
is taken up by their lake. Some
fraternities have small pools, fish
ponds, etc., but no other fraternity
on campus can boast that
they have a lake that is large
enough to water ski on. Standing
guard over the fraternity's property
is a sometimes-white lion—
usually t h e fraternity has to
stand guard over the lion in order
to keep him white, a tradition

API Tiger Sharks
offer free lessons
in skin-diving
Skin diving will be taught by
the Tiger Sharks in a planned
group of lessons starting next
Tuesday night at 7 at Alumni Gym
pool. Students will be afforded an
excellent opportunity to learn the
sport, announces Billie Head, secretary-
treasurer of the group.
One of. Auburn's most unique
student clubs, the S h a r k s became
a part of the family of campus
organizations with official
college recognition last quarter.
The Tiger Sharks, a skin diving
club, has as its aim the promotion
of interest and safety in this fast-growing
sport. Organized' two
years ago at API, the club now
has a rather exclusive membership
of ten students headed by
Paul Lyle as president, Ben Dug-ger
as vice president, and Billie
Head as secretary-treasurer.
In adition to their regular bimonthly
meetings on the campus,
the Tiger Sharks enjoy quite a
number of skin diving excursions
which average about one trip
every two weeks during the summer
and about one a month during
the winter months. Journeys
are made to Mobile, Destin, Fla.,
and Pensacola, Fla., for salt water
skin diving or Morrison

This year's REW to be streamlined
A new and streamlined program
is planned for Religious Emphasis
Week, Feb. 21-25, Tom Gregory,
chairman of REW, announced.
Religious Emphasis Week is
sponsored by the Student Council
on Religious Activities and the
Faculty Committee on Religions
Life to emphasize religion to the
college student as concerned in
all aspects of life.
The new program will include
convocation each morning instead
of several which were customary
in the past. There will be a brief
introduction of the speaker, allowing
more time for his presentation
and broader coverage of
his topic.
The convocations on " T he
Science of Religion".-will be led
by Dr. William Pollard who is
head of Oak Ridge Institute. Dr.
Pollard has served as the associate
minister of St. Stephens'
Episcopal Church, Oak Ridge,
Tenn. Many of the local churches
will bring speakers for services
who will participate in the convocations,
house discussions, and
seminars.
The Faculty Committee headed
by Dr. Jessie Richardson is the
policy making body for REW,
while SCRA is the working group.
Any student desiring to work on
REW should notify Tom Gregory,
committee chairman; Gordon Perry,
publicity; Bill Branch, finance;
David Taylor, seminars; John
Eurdeshaw, house discussions; and
Jo Ann Vaught, hospitality.

Federal economists
discuss regional
rural housing study
Two officials of the Federal
Housing and Home Finance Administration,
Washington, D. C,
were at the Agricultural Experiment
Station last week to confer
with Ben T. Lanham, Jr., and Dr.
J. H. Yeager, agricultural economics

the Housing and Home Finance
Administration, is a part of the
national project.
All work on the Southeastern
study is being carried out by Auburn
personnel. The project is designed
to learn rural housing
needs, attitudes of rural residents
and lenders about needs and financing,
and needs for credit facilities
to finance building or improving
rural homes.

Congratulations 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nor. 11,1939
This morning, 14 men were awarded
one of Auburn's highest honors by being
tapped for Blue Key and Omicron Delta
Kappa, national leadership fraternities.
(See story on front page).
These men were picked after old members
carefully considered the qualifications
of over fifty men that have displayed
outstanding leadership ability. Their various
fields are widely divergent. Representatives
of athletics, agriculture, veterinary
medicine, architecture, student government,
publications, religion and fraternities
are among the group.
When selecting members, Blue Key and
ODK consider not only a man's administrative
talent, but also his character, integrity
and scholastic standing.
While active, the men will plan such
events as the Beauty Ball, C a k e Race,
Homecoming and Skit Night. They will
sponsor a journalistic scholarship and the
Auburn-Alabama football trophy.
They will be key figures in promoting
good faculty-student relations and they
will often act as student police at crucial
times such as Tech weekend and Rush
Week.
In a word, they are the cream of Auburn's
leaders, deserving indeed of such a
great honor but necessarily humbled by its
responsibilities.
Congratulations to new Blue Key members
Henry Hart, Jim Phillips, Don Wat-kins,
Robbie Robinson, Larry Hanks, Kenny
Schultz and Chuck Dunseth and to new
ODK members Jimbo Rogers, Lin Monroe,
Tim Battle, Tom Gregory, John Clinton
Hardin, Don Farris and Jackie Burkett.

The Final Curtain
"The Boyfriend," one of the Auburn
Players most well-received productions,
played for the last time Friday.
Perhaps the zaniest Player's presentation
in several years, the mock-roaring
twenties musical featured a live combo
arid excellent dancing, especially by Bar-rye
Ingram and Tutty Joiner. It will be -a
shame indeed if the dancing proficiency of
Miss Ingram and Mr. Joiner is not utilized
again this year.
In our opinion, "Boyfriend" did not
rank with last year's "Visit to a Small
Planet" and "All My Sons," but it did
leave indications of an exciting season
ahead from the standpoint of new faces
loaded with talent.
Bob Richardson's combo sparkled
throughout while providing introductions,
background music and accompaniment for
the vocalists.
Of course, omnipresent Ila Cheney did
her usual outstanding job in what was
really the feminine lead. Good acting and
wonderful singing have b e e n her trade
marks in the past and were here again the
difference between comparative medio-cracy
and excellence.
We must complain a bit, however, about
the male soloists. They would have been
better off taking Rex Harrison's easy way
out—half talking, half singing.
An interesting feature of Player's audiences
is the great number of returnees
back for each production. It seems many
students never see the Player's until their
third or fourth year in Auburn. Then,
without fail, they bemoan the fact that
they didn't take advantage of every play.
Most persons who once attend, return again
and again.
Always good, many times superior, the
Players present all students with an opportunity
to become Broadway habitues.
Do not take our word for it however. Get
tickets early for the next one.
Who's Got The Number One?
In musical proficiency, marching excellence
and up-to-date performances, we
doubt if the Auburn band can be outdone
anywhere in the South. Certainly they
would be keen competition to any university
or military band in the nation.
Dr. Bodie Hinton, the group's popular
conductor, has been responsible for keeping
pre-game and halftime shows consistently
on a par with the national prominence
of Auburn football teams. In addition
to such special entertainment, music
from the sidelines during the game has
always been well coordinated with the
cheerleaders to give that extra bit of audible
spirit so important to winning gridiron
efforts.
Halftime performances this year have
been good examples of the timeliness invested
by Dr. Hinton. For instance, the
band had a new AU formation ready as
soon as Governor Patterson signed the bill.
Although a good deal of credit justifiably
goes to Dr. Hinton, contributions of
persons such as Bobby Collins and George
Godwin should not be unmentioned. Bobby,
the assistant director, is Dr. Hinton's
chief leg man and second in command.
His efforts have been invaluable to formation
of the band's excellence. Of course,
George Godwin is a familiar figure each
week as he conducts from the drum majors
position.
Probably the most notable fact about
this group is the amazingly short time in
which they were transformed into a precision
outfit from an incongruent mass of
piccolos, drums and sousaphones. Every
member of the fifty percent freshman
group has necessarily worked tirelessly to
present so many outstanding shows.
We salute them for their previously
unheralded diligence and hope much needed
publicity such as this will give a slight
boost toward their continuence of a fine
display of the spirit of Auburn.
Good For You!
Editorials concerning a free public service
all too often have the same tone: "this

ees of Auburn. The student response thus
far has been pleasing indeed. Approximately
2,000 students utilized this warning
device last week. Added to the freshmen
and new transfer students who were x-rayed
at the beginning of the quarter, the
number signifies that over half of the student
body has had an x-ray taken within
six months.
If participation continues at the present
rate, twice as many Auburn students
will be x-rayed this year as were last.
That's quite a record of improvement, even
for Auburn.
Of course, the interest shown in taking
advantage of this service is quite natural.
All of us are familiar with the ability of
x-rays to determine the presence of tuberculosis
and several other diseases early
enough to enable effective treatment. This
knowledge, together with a healthy desire
for self preservation, are enough to send
any reasonable person to Ross Square for
an immediate x-ray.
Since that is the case—and as we pointed
out, for an unprecedented number of
students, it was—where are the rest? Discounting
those who have recently been x-rayed
off campus, as well as those who
certainly will be x-rayed in the near future,
there are still many Auburn students
missing. Some of them are undoubtedly
the hopeless, unheeding type: they never
listen to appeals directed their way, be
they concerned with health services, voting,
or even traffic safety. They never
learn until it's too late.
But we suspect that many of the students
who haven't been x-rayed already
simply haven't gotten around to it yet. If
you are one of them, don't delay the trip
any longer. Otherwise, you'll delay just
a little too long. Friday noon will come,
the x-ray units will go, and you will have
wasted a wonderful opportunity. Get over
there today!—Jennings

The great urgency in American
Education today, apart from
securing a better balance between
what we are trying to accomplish
through education, and the means
of achieving the goals we seek,
is for a clarification of educational
aims and methods. Some of
the confusion of purpose that
characterizes education in our
country is a result of a rapidly
changing society, and some of it
is a result of the bigness of the
job of trying to make good the
American promise of equality of
opportunity through education.
However, some of the confusion
of purpose in education is a result
of our failure to apply ourselves
to the task of finding ways
of understanding the dynamics, of
society.
- Our way of life is shaped by
two forces, both of which derive
from the heritage of the past. The
first is born of those conceptions
of ideal man and society which
are held by the majority of our
citizens. This force conduces to
pattern, direction, and stability.
The second force derives from
those conceptions of ideal man
and society held by the minority
of our citizens, and conduces to
e x p e r i m e n t , innovation, and
change. Education has the job of
reconciling these two forces and
it is a difficult job. Education
tends to become so absorbed in
the task of transmitting acquired
knowledge, so devoted to the aim
of preserving existing value
standards and institutions, that
intellectual curiosity and the
spirit of dissent which derives
from intellectual curiosity gets
dulled.
Neither the goals of education
nor the methods of education can
be clarified apart from philosophical
presuppositions of one sort
of another. We have to make up
our minds with respect to man's
nature and destiny if we are to
.achieve the needed clarification
of the goals and methods of education.
Here one can do more than
offer a glimpse of his own philosophical
presuppositions.
The creation of man in the
image of God means, among other
things, that God empowered man
with the power of choice. Because
man is free to choose, he is capable
of participating in creation
through intelligence, of extending
his powers, of constructive
change. There are two prerequisites
to the wise use of the power
of choice. The first is knowledge,
and the road to knowledge is by
discipline in the acquisition of
ordered fact. Ignorance of the
alternatives in any given situation
or problem limits choice.
Knowledge in and of itself, how-

"Behind the scenes" report
on recent name-changing
Now that the name of this
place has been officially changed,
there are some behind the scenes
secrets that.can finally be told.
The name change was not a
simple procedure. There were numerous
considerations. There were
also important considerations, but
these were generally overlooked.
The advocates of the change had
to wage a nip and tuck battle with
their more practical collegues.
They won.
There were several conditions
involved. There was the matter
of official stationary: that on hand
could hardly be wasted. One pro^
posal was that a new school be
financed and put into operation
under the name API so that the
stationary could be Used up.
Someone suggested changing the
name of Bryce institute and giving
that place the stationary. Another
suggestion took into account
the possibility of delaying the official
change for a couple of
months, and giving the school the
option of writing enough letters
during this interval to use up the
stationary, or to distribute the
stationary throughout the few
rest rooms on campus. Thus the
budget for the usual paper could
be saved.
There was the matter of the letters
API on all the garbage cans.
This was a problem as the cans
were not yet full and could not be
changed until they were full, a
preliminary to being emptied. This
may haye been the reason the official
change was delayed so long.
Worst of all was the replacing
of parking stickers on automobiles.
An efficiency expert of the state
suggested removing all the windshields
that bore stickers. T h is
might have been the accepted solution
except for the fact that the
proposal did not take into account
that some of the stickers are on
the front windshield, and did not
take into account windshield wipers.
This loophole, it was felt,
would not overcome even the finer
points of. law-making. It was
finally decided to ignore the old
stickers and to stamp the foreheads
of all drivers with the new
stickers. Of no little consideration
was the fact that the former name
is plastered in rest rooms and public
places from Maine to California.
The expense of correcting
these inscriptions would be too
great. It was conceeded, however,
that future students would take it
upon themselves to correct those
inscriptions containing the old
name.
Having solved these problems,
and deciding to change the name,
the problem of what to change it
to arose. This seemed to be a secondary
consideration, but it had
to be solved. Many suggestions
were put forth: Alabama Institute
for the Blind; Alabama Polytechnic
Kindergarten; Alabama Ultra-polytechnic
Institute; S l i p p e ry
Rock II; Merrill, Lynch, Pierce;
Fertner and Auburn; Alabama
Brain Bank; Alfred E. Neumann
University; and last but not least,
The University of Alabama.
The name was finally changed.
Now there are eight thousand
people who do not know where
they are.
ever, is not power. Knowledge
becomes power only when it is
applied, and its application depends
upon the individual's sense
of moral responsibility. Moral responsibility,
then,' is the second
prerequisite to participation in
creation t h r o u g h intelligence.
Man's moral responsibility arises
from his potential control over
the course of events, and from the
fact that everything he does is
done in a social context with, or
to others. Because man is born,
lives, and dies in a social context
he is his brother's keeper.
The freedom to fashion and refashion
the worlds within us is
the divine spark of the human
spirit. It is the source of our
dreams and purposes, of our sense
of awe and wonder. From the
freedom to fashion and refashion
the worlds within us we have contrived
the way of Science. Possessed,
of it, with despair challenging
hope, we struggle desperately
to use it as an instrument
of constructive change.
What we do or fail to do about
clarifying the goals and methods
of education will help to determine
the outcome.
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Sirs:
I would like to express my admiration
of Dr. Draughon's essay
and my appreciation to the newspaper
which published it. It was
a pleasant change to see the work
of a mature a n d constructive
mind.
Dr. Draughon's work demonstrates
a logical approach a nd
useful purpose, things which are
sadly lacking in the writings of
many of our campus intellectuals,
both real a n d pseudo. He lays
aside the. over used implements of
satire and vituperation, and presents
a broad avenue of education
transcending the often rehashed
petty squabblings over the so
called "liberal arts" and "technical"
curricula.
Perhaps Dr. Draughon's article
is a model of liberalism without
illogical radicalism, of broad concepts
presented without unreasonable
generalization. At any
rate, it was gratifying to discover
in print evidence that we are well
led in other fields than sports.
Sincerely,
Robert T. Carruth

STUDENT LETTERS
Parents of Auburn students continue
to beg and wheedle their
progeny for mail. Auburn students
continue to wail and complain
about writing. Alas!
The only answer, I fear, is for
the students to break down and,
if you'll pardon the expression,
write. Knowing how painful it is,
I have prepared a basic letter
which may be sent to parents,
from time to time, to let them
know you haven't flunked out,
yet. All you have to do is to check
the phrase which applies to you:
Dear a. Mother and Daddy,
b. Mom and Pop,
c. Benefactors,
I am
a. Well.
b. sick, sick, sick.
c. dead.
I haven't written because:
a. I am studying terribly
hard.
b. I ran out of stamps.
c. I broke my arm trying to
rifle the cigarette machine.
I
a. am saving a lot of money.
b. am finding it hard not to
spend a lot. (for books,
etc., of course)
c. will talk to you about mo*
ney matters when I come"
home next Christmas.
Please,
a. send me ten dollars.
result of association with people.
Further analyses show that
you can add the equivalent of 17
years to your lifetime by developing
a Persimmon Personality. This
type of personality is ensily developed
by observing a few simple
rules and the success will be
yours.
Other t h a n the expression
"Have a drink on me," the sound
of a man's name is music to his
ears. The person who remembers
names easily is doomed to the fate
of having a string of friends as
long as an opera. Remember: He
who is rich in friends is poor in
solitaire. Let's see how we can
avoid this pitfall of name remembering.
When you meet a person you
vaguely remember from some dull
reception or something, on the
street, compose yourself so that
you look as blank and unconcerned
as a delegate to a morticians'
convention. If he doesn't take the
subtle hint that you wish he was
dead, proceed as follows:
As he. approaches closer, yell
loudly, "Look, I'm not in the market
for any marijuanas, so beat
it!" If he is the persistant type
he will rush to you, shake your
hand, tell you what a jokester you
are and laugh loudly in your face.
This is your cue to give him the
deluxe treatment. Take a deep
breath, turn your adrenals on full
blast and proceed to answer Mr.
Persy thusly:
"Why Mr. Pewtrie, err Patpew,
err, oh yeh, Mr. Cutstik—doggone
I haven't seen you since we put
you in jail for bootlegging in the
post office building. Never will
forget the look on your face, you
looked like somebody had just
pulled the strings on your pajamas."
"But my name is . . . "
"Oh don't apologize, Percy, I
won't tell anybody that you're an
ex-con. You ought to do something
about that face of yours.
Oh yeah I forgot that you had undergone
so much plastic surgery
that you were talking through
your left ear. I've gotta go now,
be sure to check' with the parole
board once a month. I'll see you
No. 1348906."
This bit of patter topped with
a strong handshake and a stiff
slap on the back will send this
chap on his way and out of your
path forever.
Follow this pattern closely and
you'll have privacy that you never
dreamed was possible. Name-forgetting
and misplacing personalities
is your most valuable asset.
Remember: Anyone can remember
names; few have the courage to
call them.
W. H. Byrd
Intellectual blindness,
modern man's affliction
Reporter Tom Lankford of the
Birmingham News voluntarily
submitted to a week of life as a
blind man in order to do a human
interest story of more than human
interest significance. He presented
his experience in the world of the
visually blind' with the authenticity
that the public so doggedly
demands. Surely the public will
be aroused, and concern for the
blind will noticably increase for
the time being.
There is another kind. of. blindness
t h a t should be exposed to
the public, but no crusading reporter
can hope to compile and
record the authentic experiences
that will be demanded prior to
action. Intellectual blindness can
only be exposed through the tragedy
of human error that it
breeds. The individual will have
to see it for himself, for in each
individual the result is different.
Yet it is not so singular in consequence
as visual blindness. The
presence of it in one can, and usually
does, affect others to an appreciable
degree, the consequences
spreading from one to another
with logarithmic acceleration. If it
exists in one in an influential position
in government of. society,
the effect may be so far reaching
as to affect the entire world. This
can be readily observed in our
own time more than in any other.
Just how widespread intellectual
blindness may be would be as
hard to determine as all the possible
degrees in which it exists,
which may be from total blackness
to a slight fuzz around the
periphery. F r o m the conditions
which prevail on humanity it
might be surmised that for a long
time the majority of people have
suffered from this ego-concealed
and fear-provoked malady, t he
symptoms being more noticeable
than the disease itself. If reactions
speak for themselves, intellectual
blindness admits to being m o re
commonplace than all the other
social diseases added together.
And it is a disease, more social in
contraction and consequence than
syphillis, and just as dangerous.
It begins in the seedling mind
of the child who is steeped in the
prides and prejudices of his parents,
encouraged to be just one
of the group, and indoctrinated
with the false values of the preceding
generation. A good education
is a potential cure; but if the
formative years have been successful,
no amount of exposure to
education can penetrate the black
barrier of this intellectual blindness;
no amount of. force can break
through the protective wall that
shields the individual from reali-b.
send me twenty dollars.
c. forgive me;
Hope you
a. are well.
b. will write soon.
c. are feeding my guppies.

b. Yours Truly,

b. Your daughter,
c. An Auburn Student.
ty. The wisdom of the ages is thus
due to lie between the pages of
dusty history books, unused. Education
is the only laxative that
can loosen the constricted mind,
but is of no use unless taken internally.
There seems to be no
cure-all other than a deep individual
realization of the comforting
superiority of the human mind
over the false immediate worth of
unconstrained emotionalism.
Exactly Why there should be
such an over-all condition of intellectual
blindness, and what may
have given it such a fertile field
of development, are questions not
easily answered. There does seem
to be an intimate relationship between
intellectual blindness and
emotionalism; and this relationship
raises an argument strikingly
similar to the chicken-and-the-egg
argument: which comes first?
Whichever may be the original
parent, the consequence does not
change: we have eggs for breakfast
and chicken for dinner in
either case. We have intellectual
blindness and emotionalism existing
in like abundance simultaneously.
Unfortunately they do not
sit as well with the mental digestive
system as fried chicken and
scrambled eggs do with the gastronomic.
The latter tends to stimulate
a healthy growth of the physical
plant; while the former, acting
as the disease that it is, tends
to decompose the mental plant.
Why then is it such a fashionable
state of existence for men? Perhaps
it is because man may be by
nature emotional, and only by potential
intellectual. Perhaps it results
from an inner impulse, protecting
the little mind of man
from the big reality that he would
be facing in a state of intellec-tualism.
Or again, perhaps it is
similar to the business cycle, rising
and falling with the tie of
human values.
The more valid, and certainly
the more useful, answer will be
the one discovered by the individual.
No amount of scholarly research
can sufficiently eliminate
intellectual blindness, for the scholar
lacks the communication with
the afflicted that the oculist and
the eye sufferer have. The intellectually
blind must cure himself;
must, for the attainment of a high
state of existence and personal
satisfaction from life, come to
realize that he is afflicted and
apply himself to a personal cure
proportionate to his degree of affliction.
The biggest difficulty, as
with most illnesses, is that an individual
will not admit himself
the true condition of his being; he
will live on the false conception
of his worth and feed on the false
conception of his potential. All
the while the blindness devours
his mind and leaves an empty
shell of a man to tap its way
through the crowded ghettoes of
the blind and stumbling through
the alleys of discontent and confusion
of purpose.
If the history of intellectualism
in connection with the rise and
fall of civilizations is to any degree
accurate, the present day
doom-criers are not to be ignored.

After the Films
i i
Shug pleased with flick
By BILL HENtXJN
Plainsman Sports Writer
When Sunday's films had finished flicking, Auburn's
coaches seemed even happier than they were on the Legion
Field sideline after Saturday's game.
"The boys were all great,"
said an unidentified coach before
the lights came back on.
Shug Jordan rose and commented
what great ball the second
team had played. His cohorts
were quick to agree. Norm
Carlson remarked to Plansman
sports editor James Abrams, a
Sunday viewer, "Boy but that
team has come a long way since
early season. You know they've
really been rugged all year defensively,
but they've generally
lacked scoring punch when
moving the ball. Their t h i r d -
quarter TD drive should give
'em plenty of. valuable confidence.
With those five sophomores
on the unit—lookout future
opponents!"
At the ends, Auburn's coaches
were very well pleased with
the showings of Bobby Wasden,
Leo Sexton, Dave Edwards, and
Joe Leichtnam. "All those guys

Auburn faces 'Dogs with much at stake Saturday
A Look at Sports . . . with Jim Phillips
Tennessee, Paul Deitzel
Were Auburn Benefactors
Thirty-eight thousand shivering fans watched
Auburn roll over an undermanned Mississippi
State. With the count 10-0 some five
minutes into the third period, there could be little doubt that
the leaders would add one or two more scores before the final
whistle. Minds turned elsewhere. . . .
Just as Bobby Hunt skipped, dodged, then sprinted his way
to the 16th Auburn point, an announcement sputtered over the
Legion Field PA system, "Final Score: LSU 13," then a pause,
"Tennessee 14." The largely partisan crowd stood momentarily
stunned. Then the loudest roar of the year erupted at Legion
Field, echoing back from Red Mountain after practically knocking
Vulcan from his lofty perch high above the Magic City.
"Tell me, will ya, who's got the Number one?" an hysterial
Auburnite shouted, remembering the cheer of old. As Ed Dyas
added the 17th Tiger marker, it was hard to tell who was cheering
for what. We thought we knew . . . Friend Tennessee had
finally given, just as it had taken from Auburn one September
afternoon.
But Auburn's appreciation, little as the screaming fans realized
at that moment, shouldn't have been extended to spoiler
Tenessee alone. LSU Coach Paul Deitzel had likewise performed
his deed of a lifetime for Auburn. .
Had the dynamic LSU mentor chosen to shoot for another
SEC crown instead of his second consecutive National Title, he
probably could have gone back to Baton Rouge with a tie and
an eventual conference banner. Rather than kicking for a
deadlocking point with the score 14-13 following LSU's second
TD, the Bayou Bengals went for broke, sending All-America
Billy Cannon into the line unsuccessfully in quest of the game-winning
two pointer. If the Knoxville thriller had ended 14-14,
subsequent LSU wins from weak Mississippi State and Tulane
would leave the Bengals 5-0-1 in SEC action, good enough for
the Dixie title. But even a tie with Tennessee would have eliminated
Deitzel's troops from the National Crown. And there was
this logical consideration, voiced by Deitzel, "We came to Knoxville
with just one thought in mind—winning! If you tie, then
you haven't even played."
So LSU's coach did right by everyone in his strategy—the
book, his national prominence, his team . . . and finally Auburn.
With a 4-1 SEC slate, the Tigers could now cop at least a
share of conference honors by scalping Georgia and Alabama.
LSU, Georgia Tech, and Mississippi can finish only 5-1 now, not
good enough percentage-wise to equal Auburn's possible league
mark of 6-1. (For Georgia's contention in the title picture, see
column 5 of this page.)

Freshmen Roll, 13-6
over Pups af Athens
BY JIM BULLINGTON
Plainsman Sports Writer
It was a much-improved Auburn
freshman team which
downed the Georgia frosh 13-6
Monday in Athens—the varsity
preview! Coach Erskine Russell
reports that although several
mistakes were made, in
general, the team looked very
good.
One of those costly mistakes
—fumble on . the Auburn 12
yard line—set up the ""lone
Georgia score. A stout Tiger
defense never again permitted
the Georgians to threaten the
Auburn goal.
T w o Auburn quarterbacks
shared equaly in the scoring
honors. Both t a 11 y s came
through the air, with Nailon
Kent tossing the first and Billy
Marshall the second. At the receiving
end of. t h e s e aerials
were end Otis Fletcher on the
initial one and half back'Ronnie
McCain on the other. McCain,
who has been hampered by a
bad ankle earlier in the year,
really came into his own this
week.
David Hogg as well as Fletcher
was outstanding at end.
"Our defensive end play," says
Coach Russell, "was one of the
most pleasing aspects of the
game." Also doing a large part
in containing the Georgia attack
was linebacker Julius Sit-terlee,
who came through with
several key tackles.

At 2 p.m. (EST) Saturday,
Ed Dyas' or Bobby Walden's
foot will thump, a pigskin lodged
squarely on the forty-yard
line of Athen's Sanford Stadium.
As that ball sails through
the brisk November air, nearly
50,000 nervous fans will sense
an afternoon of determined,
hard-hitting, precision football,
SEC titan Georgia, unbeaten in
five conference outings, and
once-defeated giant Auburn will
be shooting the works in a battle
involving the 1959 SEC
gridiron crown.
The Tigers, fresh from a 31-0
rout of Mississippi State must
win this one and their Alabama
game, then hope for a Tech win
over Georgia or tie, either of.
which will net Auburn the
championship. Victories in the
Bulldog and Crimson Tide contests
would assure Auburn of
at least a tie for the top slot. So
the Jordanmen's morale Saturday
should be at a level similar
to that of a Georgia Tech game
—the peak of determination.
A Bulldog win over Auburn
would seal Coach Wally Butts'
team championship, regardless
of the Tech-Ga. outcome. For
nationally-ranked Bulldogs, losers
each year since 1952 in the
series, Saturday's traditional
battle will be the most important

AMERICAN LITERATURE:
ITS CAUSE AND CURE
Today, as a service to students of American literature, this
column presents digests of two classic American novels;
THE SCARLET LETTER
by Nathaniel "Swifty" Hawthorne
This is a heart-rending story of a humble New England rasa
named Hester Prynne who is so poor that she does not have
what to eat nor a roof to cover her head. But she is a brave,
brawny girl and she never complains, and by and by her
patience is rewarded: in the summer of 1859 she wins a football
scholarship to Alabama.
Hard-working Hester-soon wins her letter and everyone says
she is a shoo-in for All-Conference honors, but along conies the
War Between the States and football, alas, is dropped lor the
duration.
Poor Hester goes back to New England. It is a bitter eoM
winter and poor Hester, alas, does not have any warm clothing
except for her football sweater from Alabama, but that, alas,
has a big scarlet "A" on the front of it and she can hardly wear
such a thing in New England where Union sentiment runs as
high.
Poor Hester, alas, freezes to death.
LITTLE WOMEN
by Louisa May "Bubbles" Alcott
The Marches are a very happy family—and for no discenrible
reason. They are poor as snakes; they work from cockcrow to
evensong; their dear old father Philip is away with the Union
armies; and they can't do a thing with their hair.
Still, nothing can dampen the spirits of madcap Meg, jocular
Jo, buoyant Beth, animated Amy, and crazy old Marmee, as
the merry Mareh girls laughingly call their lovable mother.
Well sir, one Christmas the March girls get an invitation to a
ball. They are dying to go because they never have any fun at
all except maybe a few chuckles during the hog-rendering
season. But Beth reminds her sisters that they can hardly go
traipsing off to a ball and leave poor Marmee all alone at
Christmas time. The sisters swear a lot, but they finally agree
with Beth.
Marmee, however, will not hear of it. "Land's sakes, Little
women!" she cries. "You must go to the ball and have some
fun. There will be fruit punch and Toll House cookies and
Early American sandwiches. Best of all, there win be :
dancing. Oh, how your father and I used to love that ft
"I never knew father could dance," cries Meg.
"Oh yeah?" cries Marmee. "You should have seen
morris."
"Was Philip a good morriser?*' cries Jo.
"The best!" cries Marmee. "Philip could morris in soft pack
or flip-top box and was full of fine, fresh, natural mildness !*
The girls are cheered to hear this and go to the ball. Marmee
stays home alone, but soon gets a wonderful surprise: Philip
comes back from the war I
When the girls return from the ball, they find Marmee and
Philip morrising, and they cry "Huzzah!" and throw their poke
bonnets in the air, where they are to this day.
And speaking of literature, in our book the best selection of
cigarettes on the market today comes from Philip Morris

SAE, 'K' win
Intramural grid results are as expected,
but volleyball ushers in upsets galore!
By ED JAMES
Intramurals Editor
Intramural action was at its fall peak last week, with
football and volleyball sharing the spotlight. On the gridiron,
favorites won as expected, while some surprising upsets
occurred behind the volleyball nets.
Player of the Week
Football: SAE-KS
An undefeated SAE squad
barely squeezed by the deter-minded
Kappa Sigs last week in
the fall's most methodical defensive
battle. With their backs
to the goal, a late game KS snap
from center sailed far over the
quarterback's h e a d . Connie
Cook, leading the SAE rushers,
crashed the line and broke the
scoreless deadlock by nailing
the hapless KS quarterback for
a safety.
SNAP
In the fading minutes of the
final period, the SN's and AP's
managed rallies a n d together
notched 18 quick points. Twelve
belonged to the Snakes. The
first score came when SN quarterback
Harold Dorris fired an
aerial to Dexter Brooks. The TD
play covered 35 yards. AP
quickly retaliated w i t h a 60
yard scoring pass play. With a
deadlock of 6 all, the game
ended, an each team readied
for the sudden death playoff.
On overtime's first play, Dorris
again fired a TD aerial, this
time to Ernest Owen. The AP's
failed to gain, and it ended 12-6,
SN.
Div. K-Div. Y2
Division K continued their
winning ways l a s t week by
downing Division Y2, 15-9. The
accurate passing arm of Quarterback
Roy Kimbrough accounted
for two touchdowns as
he found Prater and Bridges
respectively for 45 and 15 yard
scores. Kimbrough also sneaked
over an extra point. A
safety added two more to powerful
Div. K's point total.

WEASEL BOBBY HUNT (12) darts through State's defense
for a 42-yard scoring jaunt. Bobby was again a unanimous
choice for Plainsman Player of the Week.
Bobby Hunt's show
wins more acclaim ;J
BY JAMES ABRAMS
Plainsman Sports Editor
They've called him brillant,
they've called him part of an
H-bomb & up in Legion Field's
press box last Saturday they
called him an Ail-American.
For his adjective-provoking
play in the State battle Bobby
Hunt well deserves to take the
limelight for the second time
this season as the Plainsman's
Player of the Week.
Most of the 38,000 wind-swept
fans roared approval as H u n t
time and time again slipped
through Mississippi State tackles
and around their ends for big
yardage. Bobby scampered for
214 yards in 16 carries as the
Tigers marched to their sixth
straight victory of. the 1959 season.
Statisticians will have to rewrite
the Auburn record book,
as-Hunt set a new mark for individual
rushing against SEC
competition. Bobby gained 105
yards for a 11.7 average the first
half, five times as much yardage
as the Maroon backs could produce.
Option-specialist Hunt left
w o u l d - be tacklers grabbing
handfuls of air on runs of 31,
28, 25, 13, 13, 8 and 7 markers;
plus his two TD producing
jaunts of 51 and 42 breathtaking
yards.
On his 51-yard thing of beauty,
. . . Hunt faded back to pass,
faked a short throw, continued
running backward as if. to fire
the long one, then decided to
run. He stopped short 15 yards
behind the line of scrimmage,
letting one Maroon whiz past,
then took off to the right, used
his well-practiced change of
pace to elude more tacklers,
picked up a whole host of Tiger
blockers, and streaked toward
the State goal, getting a final
block from Ken Rice on the 10-
yard stripe.
At the same moment the Ten-nessee-
LSU final score was being
announced over public address
system in Legion Field,
Bobby started off on another
keeper play, this time from the
State 42. The approval from the
spectators over the LSU score
suddenly slackened . as Hunt
passed the line of scrimmage.
Then the crowd responded three
times vigorously as before as
Bobby crossed over to the left,
then back to the right to pick
up blockers before crossing the
goal for the Tigers' second touchdown.
Backfield coach Buck Brad-berry
put the cap on the bottle
by saying, "It's hard to lay your
hands on Hunt and it's harder
still to keep them there."
Freshmen...
(Continued from page 5)
was the most prominent factor
in the game, the offense was
better than only 13 points might
,at first seem to indicate. Several
good gains were nullified
by penalties, as was a perfect
conversion after tjie first touchdown.
Fumbles also hurt, as
time and again an Auburn
drive was halted by a bobbled
ball.
Substitutes turned in some
excellent perforfances, show-
. ing that the team is developing
good depth. Halfback Sammy
Miller and fullback Keith Ho-gancamp
did particularly commendable
jobs.
Halfback Jimmy Burson, a
boy with much promise, got
into the game but was unable
to play at his best due to a
back strain. Another halfback,
Jimmy Payne, went on the i n jured
list after the game with
a hurt knee.
The Baby Tigers on the field
against Georgia looked far better
than they did in losing to
Florida. "It was a mighty big
improvement in one week,"
says Coach Russell.
The frosh will be striving for
another proportionate improvement
when t h e y clash with
Alabama at Cliff Hare Stadium
on Nov. 19. With a 1-1 record
thus far, the Baby Tigers need
that 'Bama game to come up
with a winning season. Watch
out for those freshmen—there's
a lot of good varsity material
here.

"TALK;"
Trainer Kenny Howard's word
keepsWTigers on or off the turf
BY JIM BULLINGTON
Assistant Sports Editor
"Kenny? He's tops!" That's
what the boys from Graves Cen- •
tre say about their trainer, Mil-ford
Kenneth Howard by name.
There's good reason for this
sentiment too, because Kenny
is not only one of the top trainers
in the business, but is a very
likable person.
"What do I do in my job?
Well, I'm concerned with the
prevention and treatment of injury
in varsity sports." It may
sound simple the way Kenny
explains it, but actually, there's
a lot of work behind those few
simple words.
In the prevention department
comes tapeing, wraping, padding,
and, most importantly,
watching the condition of the
athletes. "If a boy's in good
shape," says Kenney, "he's a lot
Tiger harriers lose
opening with Bama
BY MORRIS SLINGLUFF
Plainsman Sports Writer
The University of Alabama
cross country team rolled into
Auburn Monday afternoon, Nov.
2, and left Coach Wilbur Hut-sell's
harrier squad with a 22 7
35 defeat. It was the first meet
of. the year for the Plainsmen,
while the speedy Bama squad
has established a very impressive
4-1 mark this cross country
season.
The Bama harriers ran the
tough Auburn course like they
owned it by sweeping the first
four places and breaking the old
course record.
No less than 3 Tigers broke
the old record of 18:59.3. B o b
Peet, a junior from Alford, New
York who is undefeated in the
five Alabama meets this year,
set the new record with a time
of 18:39.2. The two other Tid'ers
who broke the record were
sophomore Bill Jennings and
senior Gordon Graham.
The first Auburn runner in
was promising Columbus, Ga.,
sophomore, Jimmy Dozier, with
a time of 19:51.5. Dozier, undefeated
in freshman competition
last year, should continue to
pace the cross country crew
from the Plains this year.
In sixth was Paul Hall of. Auburn
who was followed by Randy
Gonce, Howell Tanner, John
Wallace, and Pat Singleton, all
Auburnites.

The treatment phase of the
job calls for a lot of. work too.
Kenny takes care of the innumerable
bruises, sprains, and other
minor ailments which inevitably
occur. The more serious
injuries are sent to the infirmary
or to the specialists in
Columbus.
Kenny always has the final
word on whether the player can
stay in the game. The coaches

say-so in that matter. This

From nowhere...Spencer! Films... "My Greatest Thrill" 7^THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 11,1959
BY JIMMIE DYAL
Plainsman Sports Writer
Tiger h a l f b a c k speedster,
Jackie Spencer, stepped into
the limelight last Saturday as
he opened the Auburn scoring
gate in the closing minutes of
the second quarter.
Playing a defensive HB position
on the punt receiving team,
Spencer gathered in Bill Sch-oenrock's
bolcked punt and raced
38 yards for Auburn's first
TD. After crossing the goal line,
Jackie showed.his exhuberance
by sailing the ball high into the
air.
When asked how he felt about
the run, Spencer replied; "It
was great, almost like a dream.
I don't know how far I ran . . .
I was just running."
Spencer, a 5-10, 170 pound
sophomore, hails from Montgomery
where he played ball
for Robert E. Lee High School.
Jackie was a standout on Lee's
1957 team which took top honors
in the state, and the Montgomery
halfback was the first
Lee General to receive an Auburn
scholarship.
Speed and defensive abilities
are two assets that Jackie
has, giving coaches high hopes
for him as a Tiger stalwart.
Not only is he perhaps Auburn's
fastest back but he is also able
to spot his blockers and outfake
would-be tacklers.
Last year Spencer's weight,
158 pounds, prevented him from
becoming a defensive standout.
Since then Jackie has worked
on this problem by lifting
weights, r e s u l t . . . he has gained
twenty pounds, if anything
his speed has increased, and the
same desire he has always had,
boosted by this weight increase,
makes him one of the hardest
hitting Tigers on the field.
Auburn coaches have always
had high hopes for Jackie because
of the v a s t potential
which he has shown. A good
example of the confidence with
which the Auburn staff views
Spencef was demonstrated last
week in a conversation between
Coach Jordan a n d backfield
coach Buck Bradberry. Jordan,
knowing that Jimmy Pettus
would see little action in the
State game said, "I just have a
feeling that Jackie is going to
break loose in this one."
Jack may well be proud of his
run, for it was the first Auburn
TD punt return since Bob
Freeman carried the mail'home
in 1954.
FOLLOWING HIS TD RUN, Saturday's scoreless tiebreaker,
tired halfback Jackie Spencer (L) gets an explanation of his
manuever from fullback Red McGeever (R).

Georgia's quarterback combination,

even better than Auburn's duo
of Bobby Hunt and Bryant Harvard.

ing that'point to anyone, Auburn's
defenses will be set in
respect of their opponents'
quarterbacking ability. B o th
Georgia field generals are also
extremely adept defenders.
Behind Tarkenton and Britt
in the Bulldog split-T setup, the
remainder of Georgia's back-field
is big and fast. Lef.thalf
Bobby Walden is a quadruple-threat
performer who passed for
a score, caught a 39-yard TD
aerial (nullified by a penalty),
and ran well and punted Florida
to obscurity in last Saturday's
21-^10 Bulldog success. The "Big
Toe from Caire (Ga.)" led the
nation in punting average last
fall with 45.9 per boot. Halfbacks
Fred Brown and Capt.
Don Soberdash are tricky runners
and fine targets for Britt
and' Tarkenton passes. Fullback
Bill Godfrey is a tough power
plunger, and right-half Bobby
Towns, son of Georgia Coach
Spec, is the SEC's leading pass
receiver with 14 grabs.
Enabling the s w i f t Georgia
runners to prance goalward and
giving the passers plenty of
throwing time, is a huge line
spearheaded by massive center
Phil "Stone Mountain" Ashe.
Flanking Ashe, who ironically
hails from Atlanta's Stone Mountain
area, are two of the SEC's
finest guards—Billy Roland and
Pat Dye. Tackles Don Leeburn
and Larry Lancaster are hard
to run over, and flankmen Jimmy
Vickers an Gord'en Kelley
are solid, particularly on defense.
The Tigers could unveil a real
aerial show Saturday for the '
only time this year other than
the Miami game. Georgia's pass
defense has been leaky in past
Auburn engagements. If the
Bulldog line is as tough as usual,
the Plainsmen will undoubtedly
take to Athens' air lanes.
Auburn will enter the SEC
showdown a slight favorite, according
to oddsmakers.
(Continued from page 5)
were great!" said Carlson.
On the screen, Wasden was
a moving mountain again. When
things were close during the
game's early stages, "Wall-Eye"
slaughtered his way through
State blockers to maul Maroon
halfback for ten big lost yai-ds.
"He's getting tougher every time
he goes out on the field," laughed
Gene "Bear" Lorendo. "And
that Sexton," added the Bear,
"that Leo Sexton was great on
offense."
Ken Rice added item number
seven to his collection of good
Saturday afternoons. No performer
in America could be any
more consistently sharp. Billy
Wilson's downfield blocking was
again outstanding. As Wilson
hustled downfield once to wipe
out an onrushing Maroon tackier,
backfield coach Buck Brad-berry
remarked, "You know our
downfield blocking yesterday
was the best this fall." His motion
was promptly seconded and
passed by a chorus of unanimous
ayes.
Tackle Teddy Foret enjoyed
his best day of the year. Coaches
lauded the senior lineman
particularly for a solid defensive
show.
"Won't that Zeke ever let up?"
asked a coach after watching
the Uniontown All-America
turn in another typically superior
performance. "And Clapp,
gosh he's a tough cookie," added
the deep, unidentified voice as
G. W. made a bone-crushing
tackle which the silent films vibrated.
All-America Jackie Burkett
was exceptional on defense. His
understudy, sophomore Wayne
Frazier bloodied the Statemen
with bearhug tackles. "Wayne
keeps on improving," complimented
a satisfied Coach Shug.
The staff, naturally loved watching
Bobby Hunt and Bryant
Harvard supplementing each
other's brilliant play. Hunt's net
gain of 214 rushing yards speaks
for itself. As for Harvard, coaches
were very impressed with the
imaginative field general's leadership
on the second' unit's TD
march.
Johnny Kern, whose interceptions
of two State aerials denied
the Maroons any access to Auburn's
goal, drew high praise
from the coaches. Concerning
young Jackie Spencer, Jordan
said, "If you go into halftime
scoreless when you're the favorite,
it's a double headache—a
moral boost for your opponent
and a letdowm for you. That TD
punt return with less than four
first half minutes left was a real
back-breaker. Spencer made a
great move after taking the
punt . . . faking three steps forward,
-then veering sharpely to
the right, losing a trio of Maroons
who had good' shots at
him. Then he piled up blockers
and was in free. That run made
all the difference in the world!"
Coach Buck Bradberry was
pleased with Spencer's running
from scrimmage. Bradberry also
praised Lamar Rawson again,
making note of the senior halfback's
tremendous leg drive.
On several occasions, Lamar was
hit but carried tacklers on for a
three or four yard ride. "It's
just like having two fullbacks
in the lineup," said Coach Jordan.
Blockbusting fullback Jimmy
Reynolds, back in the lineup,
drew plenty of fine comment on
his determined running and
surefingered defensive job. Ed

only a l i t t l e over a y e a r ago, back in J u l y of 1958, when I
named freshman football coach and v a r s i t y baseball coach.
It came as a complete surprise. Yes, r e t u r n i n g as a coach
to t h e g r a n d old school w h e r e I h a d such a wonderful college
life—that's' m y greatest sports t h r i l l.
Of course, I've had some other
fine moments in sports. One of
them I'll never forget is the
Alabama game of 1949. The Tide
was really strong that year, and
game for Auburn. I believe our
team really showed that wonderful
Auburn spirit by upsetting
Bama 14-13. It was a great
way to wind up my playing career.
I had several thrills as coach
of Grady High over in Atlanta.
We won the state championship
in 1957, and I was selected
coach of the year in Georgia.
I enjoyed making football players
out of those high school
boys, just like I enjoy helping
the freshman develop here at
Auburn.
It's a great place to be, this
Auburn. Know what I mean?
Notes! Erskine Russell, the
newest member of the Auburn
coaching staff, was one of the
finest all-around athletes in
Auburn's history. He earned a
total of 10 letters, four in football
and two each in baseball,
basketball, and tennis. He was
an outstanding end for four seasons,
setting a school record for
pass receiving. -'
Born in Birmingham on July
23, 1926, Russell attended Ens-ley
High School, where he
graduated in 1944. Following
two years in the Navy, he entered
Auburn in 1946. After r e ceiving
his degree in education,
he w e n t to Atlanta's Grady
High as line coach in 1950. Promoted
to heach coach in 1952,
he held this position until his
return to Auburn.
Married to the former Jean
Farmer of Birmingham, Russell
is the proud papa of three
sons—Rusty, 6, Don, 3, and Jay,
6 months.—Beasley

Who is the mastermind pickster who hides behind the intriguing name of Zoomar??? He's driving

posted a 7-3 record; only Assistant Sports Editor Jim Bullington could equal him. If you have any
favorite games coming up, just place them along with your predictions and turn them in at the

whistle sounded, with M i a mi

crawled, and burrowed my way
through the crowd to try finding

be on the Miami bench, aiding
Hurricane Coach Andy Gustaf-son

I neared the humid turf of. that
mammoth stadium, I spotted

some sort of credit
from Gustafson. "How heartwarming!"
I shouted, unable as
usual, to control my emotions.
"The Plainsman Panther Jets
came down to give Andy their
unfaltering advice and help another
good guy win."
"Thanks loads fellows," said
Miami's personable coach. "We
would never have won this game
without your aid." Furman Bi-sher,

Coach Gustafson across t he

Gustafson replied the answer

Auburn against Georgia Tech

the Auburn Pharmacist, The Tiger
Cub, or some other Pub
squad superior to the anemic
Glom. Too bad that The Auburn
Engineer is still on probation.
The 469,000 fans at the
Plainsman Coliseum would have
certainly been happier to see a
closer game, something like
182-0."
Bisher added, "Where are you

A Look at Sports
(Continued from page 5)
So there's a blessing to playing seven conference games.
(If you don't lose but once).
Hard to believe?
Of their last 31 football outings, Auburn has now won 29, lost
and tied one. In this period dating back to the Mississippi
State game of '56, Auburn has steamrolled 507 points while
limiting the opposition to 151. Average-wise, Auburn has out-scored
the enemy 16.4 to an unbelievable 4.9 in that 31 game
span. The Plainsmen have been held scoreless just once during
that period, while whitewashing opponents on 12 occasions.
Auburn has rolled up at least four touchdowns eleven Saturdays,
but only Mississippi State, 20-27 loser in 1956, punched as
many as three TD's across the Plainsman goal. Hardin-Sim-mons
scored 12 points this October and State sneaked in 14
last fall. On no other Saturday. since November 3, 1956, has a
team gathered more than eight points in an Auburn game.
Who says statistics don't speak for themselves?
Again ...and again!
Sophomore halfback Jackie Spencer becomes the ninth
second year man of the fall to prove that his place is in Auburn's
present as well as bright future. Spencer, whose 38 yard
scoring punt return broke the first half deadlock and State's
back, joins quarterback Bobby Hunt, tackle Billy Wilson, halfback
Don Machen, end Dave Edwards, fullback Johnny Mc-
Geever, center Wayne Frazier, guard Jerry Gulledge, and tackle
Dave Woodward in the ranks of polished soph combatants.
They're already winning for Auburn in 1959. Who'll stop these
Tigers next fall and the one after?

stand you've got another game
with the never-say-die but ever-
dead Glom Nov. 19 at the
Coliseum. I'd like to scoop the
New York dailies on just how
great a rout we can expect."
One star countered, "we disbanded
practice sessions last
week after a loosening up session
at API. We figure the best
way to ready ourselves for a
Glom encounter is to play
around Florida, fool with good-looking
women, get around to
all the n i g h t spots, and stay
as drunk as possible all 14 days
before the game. In this way,
we'll certainly be in our worst
possible physical condition, so
it should really hold the score
down. You know the less we
beat 'em, the more fans, meaning
more money, will be around
next time we play. If we can
ever hold it to 100-0, we'll begin
to see crowd's of a million
upwards. A score little as that
is too much to hope for though.
You realize we're pledged by
the Tide-clean Plainsman Code
of Ethics to play at least one-quarter
our best. So all we can
do is employ the loophole of
breaking training rules while
hoping we can really get out of
shape. It hasn't happened yet
to the extent of a score lower
than 179-0, that Glom moral victory
of 1947, but you know
there's always a first time.
These Glomers may be unusually
tough, so it could be as
low as the 200-0 mark any way.
