announces Becker
BY BETTY WAGNON
Mississippi Southern College/
Hattiesburg, Mass., will be the
scene of the Seventh Annual
Southern Universities S t u d e n t
Government Association Confer-,
ence April 28-30. Ricky Becker,'
Auburn senior, is chairman of
SUSGA and will preside at the
general sessions. .'M
Approximately 30 colleges and
universities of the Southeast will
be represented at the conference
by over 200 student leaders from
the member schools.
The first day of the conference
will include registration and • a
general session followed by a ban­quet
with Dr. Millard Caldwell,
former governor of Florida, as
keynote speaker. The delegates
will then be honored with a dance
at which the world famous Dixie
Darlings of Mississippi Southern
will be hostesses. .
Friday delegates will attend
panel discussions of vital impor­tance
to student government offi­cers.
Some of the topics to be dis­cussed
are: "Student Discipline
and Honor Systems;" "Studerit
Government and Greek Rela­tions;"
"Campus Entertainment"
with Boolie Hill, president of. the
Auburn student body, serving as
moderator; and "Financing Stu­dent
Government," with James E.
Foy, director of Student Affairs

The final day more panel dis­cussions
will be held, in addition
to a general session at which the
new officers will be introduced.
The newly elected chairman will
address the group and the con­ference
will be adjourned.
SUSGA is a service organiza­tion,
making no attempt to sup­ervise
or represent its members in
any way. It was organized at
Emory University in 1954 with
six charter member schools when
Student Government leaders at
Emory felt the need for an organi­zation
of Southern Colleges and
Universities that would serve as
a means of communication and
exchange of ideas among the va­rious
student, governments.
SUSGA membership has grown
at a constant rate until at the con­ference
here at Auburn last year
there were 25 southeastern schools
represented by over 100 delegates.
At this time Auburn was named
as the permanent site for the Cen­tral
Office and Becker was elected
new chairman.

Players' 'Tender Trap'
to begin run April 20
BY BENNIE SUE CURTIS
Opening night for the Auburn
Players next production will be
April 20. Max Shulman's " T he
Tender Trap" will run from the
20th through the 23rd and will r e ­open
April 27 and run through the
30th. Curtain time for all eight
performances, will be 8:15.
"The Tender Trap" achieved
widespread acclaim through the
motion picture starring Frank Si­natra
and Debbie Reynolds. It is
the story of a playboy bachelor
who, despite all the glamorous
women of the big city, evades the
tender trap of love until a sweet
young lady finally captures his
heart.
The setting of the play is the
interior of the bachelor's apart­ment
in New York City. The set
for the Auburn production of the
play was designed by Sharon
Murphy, a senior in interior de­sign.
All stage props, including
furniture were made by the Au­burn
Dramatics Department.
Robert Knowles is directing the
forthcoming Player's production
of "The Tender Trap." The char­acters
are Hank Conner in the
role of Charlie Reeves, Royce Ear-wood
as Joe McCall, Wynona
Alexander as Poppy Matson, Gin-nie
Weissinger as Sylvia Crewes,
Mary Burnett as Julie Gillis, Ted
Richards as Earl Lindquist, Judy
Jowers as Jessica Collins and
Wyatt Deloney as Sol Schwartz.
IFC considers new rush week program;
Further plans, elections set for April 19
Members of the Interfraternity
Council are considering a new
program for organizing rush
week. Now on a trial and error
basis, the plan is devised where­by
an officer of each fraternity
will meet with the correspond­ing
officer of each other frater­nity.
According to IFC Vice-Presi­dent
Lin Monroe, it is hoped that
these groups can work together
as special committees for a bet­ter
organized, less expensive rush
season.
Further plans may be made
at the annual IFC banquet to be
held April 19 at Rose Hill.
The banquet will serve the
double purpose of festivity and as
a joint meeting of the fraternity
presidents, IFC representatives,
and faculty advisors.
Officers for the year of 1960-
61 will be elected at the banquet
by popular vote. They will take
office immediately upon election.

as a climax to Derby day. She is seated in the cen ter foreground.
Rain and cold wind forced the
participants and spectators to seek
shelter after the lead-out of the

dampen the spirit as the crowd
surged into the Student Activity
Building where the remaining

sweetheart. were held.
The winner's' wreath and first-place
trophy were presented to
the Kappa Deltas by Derby Dad­dy

Interviews give personal picture of ACOIA
By DAVE WILSON
and BOBBY BOETTCHER
Gathered at Auburn from
51 Southern colleges, 120 dele­gates
were exposed to a wide
and varied spectrum of opin­ion
and personality during last
week's A u b u r n Conference on
International Affairs. Confer­ence
activities ranged from
serious group discussions and
speeches to informal lunch­eons,
receptions and conversa­tion.
Plainsman reporters and pho­tographers,
attempting to • ob­serve
ACOIA from the personal
side in addition to its purpose of
international awareness, made a
roving survey of people and
events contributing to the three-day
conclave. Speakers and spe­cial
guests represented a variety
of views and attitudes.
Some of these notable person­alities
and intellects included Mr.
G. N. Vaswani, educational ad­visor
of the Embassy of India;
Dr. Francis Hsu, expert on Chin­ese
affairs; Mr. Arthur J. de la
Mare, of the British Embassy;

briefs
Mr. Foster Hailey of the New
York Times; Dr. George Carbone,
of the University of Mississippi
and Dr. Arthur Chen of the Air
University at Maxwell Field.
These delegates and guests
were first brought together in­formally
at a reception given
Thursday night by the Interna­tional
Relations Club.
Dr. Draughon and other college
officials welcomed these visitors
to Auburn University. However,
the success of the event was
largely due to the congeniality of
Javad Bazargani, president of
IRC, and "Iran's gift to Auburn."
Commenting on Javad, Dr. Car-bone
said at his final address to
the conference, "He's my choice
for the next mayor of Tehran, on
the 'charm' ticket."
An element of wholesome con­troversy
appeared in the confer­ence
after Mr. de la Mare gave
his address explaining the atti­tudes
of British colonialism in
Asia. Mr. Vaswani of India and
Mr. Chen of China held a view­point
definitely in opposition to
the British theory, all of which
heightened the interest in the
group discussion.
It was the general opinion of
the guests that ACOIA could best
serve its purpose in the future
English honorary Sigma Tau Delta

Sigma Tau Delta was founded
at Dakota Wesleyan University
in 1924 to "promote the mastery
of written expression, encourage

40 quarter hours of Eng­lish
courses, have maintained a
2.5 average in these English
courses, have completed at least
six quarters at Auburn Univer­sity,
and have maintained a 2.0
overall average.
In conjunction with petitioning
for a charter from Sigma Tau
Delta, The Auburn Literary So­ciety
has conducted varied acti­vities
including formal talks each
quarter, i n f o r m a l discussion
groups held at a professor's home,
and sponsorship of a campus wide
writing contest.
The installation service and the
formal initiation of charter mem­bers
will be held this Friday. Dr.

ment will increase from the pre­sent
8,547 to 14,150 by 1970, ac­cording
to Dr. Paul Irvine, di­rector
of the Education Interpre­tation
Service of the University.
To meet its greater educational
responsibilities, the University
will have to provide more faculty,
more classrooms and laboratories,
plus living quarters for an aver­age
of 510 additional students
each year.
Why will Auburn's enrollment
increase so dramatically? Where
will these young men and women
come from? The Education Inter­pretation
Service bases its pre­diction
on population figures:
more babies were born between
1942 and 1953; more boys and
girls are graduating from high
school each year; of those who
graduate, larger proportions are
attending college.
The GI War Babies will reach
Auburn in the fall of 1961, when
the enrollment will make a re­cord
jump of 985 students. This
expected increase will call for
immediate adjustments on the
campus. Another big increase is
expected in the fall of 1965, when
the second GI Baby Bulge of 1946
will be starting college careers.
Each year more Alabama stu­dents
graduate from high school.
In 1940, only 9,000 graduated. To­day
the number is over 23,000;
by 1965 it will be 30,000.
Of these high school graduates
an increasing proportion are en­tering
college. In 1930 it was 20
per cent; today 33 per cent of
high school graduates go to col­lege.

Proration
Once, education was concerned with
quality. Then, happily, the problem of
quantity was considered. But devoting all
efforts toward solution of the latter prob­lem
has robbed our educational processes
of quality. Now is the time to realize this
and to decide if we shall have both.
Education tends to turn out conform­ists,
individuals whose education is "com­pleted,"
rather than thinkers. Thus, pas­sive
entertainment and group activities
dominate our leisure time activities; we
have technicians, but few original think­ers.
Socially the case is the same: one
must be a conformist, a stereotype. To be
original or different is to be dangerous.
Yet, no matter how comfortable, we
cannot choose a society of conformity.
Consider the difficulties of individual life,
or the sum of individuals, the world. Con­sider
the problems that threaten the very
existence of our world. Then remember
that human knowledge—both constructive
and destructive—is bounding forward at
the most incredibly dizzying rate ever
known to man. No, this is not a world
for the passive, the conformists. They
cannot keep pace with scientific advance­ments
and cultural changes. Even less are
they equipped to devise new ways to re­late
themselves to these changes. And do
so we must. If we do not, the world—as
we know it—will cease to exist. Not only
individual maladjustment and group ten­sions,
but even international annihiliation
will be the price we pay.
Despite strong objections, the state
seems determined to prorate an already
inadequate budget for education.

It's
Spring!
THE FIRST PROFESSOR.
The Wary Driver
Traffic conditions here have made Au­burn
students extremely wary. When
most of them come to a corner, the}' look
both ways . . . for police cars. They pay
little attention to red lights or stop signs,
speed limits or traffic regulations.
It has arrived at the point where the
average local motorist thinks nothing of
committing ten or twelve traffic violations
a day.
Nearly all cases are results of the pre­mium
now placed on time. Usually, that
extra minute will decide whether one is
one time for class or a date. This is a
small consideration when compared to the
possible consequence.
Spring quarter has traditionally taken
a heavy toll. "Beer and lake" days seem
to blot out the picture of twisted steel and
bodies that should be foremost in the
minds of all drivers.
Please be careful while driving. And
remember: graveyards are filled with those
who said, "It can't happen to me."
Nuclear Nonsense
One of the foremost international prob­lems
currently facing the United States is
that of nuclear test bans. Cries for their
banishment are at nearly the same in­tensity
on this continent as abroad.
Although communist propaganda is
likely responsible for this din of opinion,
it has frightened our government into ser­ious
ban proposals.
Now, nuclear explosions could easily
be made undetected by the Russians and
Chinese simply by using underground
caves. Such blasts could be damped as
much as 99.67 per cent, according to nu­clear
Physicist Kenneth Watson. "Earth­quakes"
would be our detection system's
diagnosis. Even Secretary of State Chris­tian
Herter acknowledges the inadequacy
of any known system.
Let us investigate the reason for hu­manity's
objection to nuclear science. Of
course, the prevalent fear is that of atomic
warfare and the total annihilation of non-aquatic
animal life; but radiation intensity
from tests has become the second most
violent objection.
No one will deny that the former is a
too lightly overpassed possibility. How­ever,
the facts about test radiation are
misunderstood by most of the world's
populace. Even supposedly well-informed
governments such as those of Japan and
Ghana have recently objected to Pacific
and Sahara tests. We suspect, however,

Plainsman offices are located In Room 318 of the
Auburn Union ami in The Lee County Bulletin building
on Tfchenor Avenue. Entered as second class matter at
the post office in Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates
by mail are $1 for three months and $3 for a full year.
The Plainsman is the official Btudent newspaper of
Auburn University and is written and edited by respon­sible
students. Opinions published herein are not neces­sarily
those of the administration. Publication date le

The Plainsman la represented by the National Adver­ting
Service.
that their objection stems from a fear of
all-out war; and not, as they have stated,
from fear of genetic radiation effects. It
is understandable that the masses might
be oblivious to the true facts. But the gov­ernments?
Never!
According to the report of a two year
study by 15 U.N. scientists, continued test­ing
for 100 years would still generate only
four per cent of the total. The committee
stated that television sets would be more
dangerous than bomb tests.
The Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences
is on record as saying,
"The present increase in atmospheric
radiation and in radioactive precipitation
plays no essential part and has no practi­cal
importance compared with natural rad­iation.
The values which have been re­corded
do not, in any case, constitute a
danger to the health of mankind."
If there were a logical reason for dis­continuance,
the sincerity of Moscow and
Peiping would obviously be an unjudgable
parameter. And even if they could be
trusted to destroy their nuclear weapons,
the United States would be plowed under
by conventional military might.
Communist armies and air forces are
vastly superior to our own. Perhaps our
Navy is their equal on surface, but under­sea
warfare would soon take its toll.
We, as students, should take the initia­tive
in promoting nuclear tests and the
idea that Communism's fear of total des-struction
is undoubtedly the only deter­rent
to war. A four per cent increase in
radiation is a small price indeed for free­dom.
Telephone Service
Those who subscribe to the necessity of
penance and travail on earth will be sad­dened
by news from Southern Bell. The
terrible frustration of dialing TU 7-9 and
getting a busy signal will soon be relieved
somewhat. Part of new equipment which
will go into effect in August will be used
to supplement pay phones, or "9" numbers.
All is not lost though. This doesn't
change a bigger problem: having only two
college operators for the entire school.
Granted that the 565 campus phones are
independent of the operators, neverthe­less,
someone trying to c a l l a campus
phone from the outside must go through
these two. Another problem is the ques­tion
of whether 565 phones are enough for
a campus this size. Anyone who has tried
for an hour to get one dorm can answer
that question quite emphatically.
So have cheer brave hearts, the uni­versity
is still on your side. But the fu­ture
is pathetically clear. Soon we'll no
longer be able to say:
"Phones, phones, every where,
I sometimes think they're fake;
Phones, phones, every where,
But none a call will make."
—Hill and Jennings
The Last Word
Commenting on the April Fool's issue
of The Plainsman, Director of Student Af­fairs
James E. Foy had this to say: "I just
didn't believe Auburn students were cap­able
of that sort of thing."
It's spring, so what does a
young man's thoughts turn to?
Some think the answer to that
question is baseball. A few agree
on love. I'm not quite sure my­self,
but methinks the folks in the
cars on Biggio flats last Friday
night weren't talking about Casey
Stengel. If they were, they must
have been hard of hearing and
had to sit very close to under­stand
one another. It was a nice
night end there were lots of con­vertibles
out, but none of the tops
were down. Somehow I don't
think baseball is the answer.
Nevertheless it's spring. The
trees are beginning to bud, the
flowers are springing out of the
fertile earth, and the birds are
flying north—leaving their mes­sages
of spring. All the ex-little
leaguers are oiling their gloves in
reminiscence, t h e golfers are
practicing looking for lost balls
and replacing country club di­vots,
and the young ladies are
digging their short shorts out of
mothballs. These are all the signs
of' spring. Another indication is
the warm weather, perhaps not
as certain a prediction basis as
the other signs, but supporting
them.
With spring comes that conta­gious
plague known as spring fe­ver.
It's more destructive to pro­ductive
endeavor than locusts or
famine—and it feels so good.
Everybody enjoys spring fever.
It's an excuse not to do what you
wouldn't do anyway, a catharsis
for winter's hibernation, a tran­quilizer
for a lazy mind. It doesn't
cost a penny to enjoy it.
I knew a fellow who got so
lazy in the spring that he died
from inactivity, just wasted away
to nothing. He was my kind of
people.
I also knew a fellow whose
thoughts turn to baseball every
spring. As a child he was beaned
with a foul tip, so now every
spring he thinks he's a baseball.

A report on Communism
Behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains
Too few Americans know any­thing
of happenings behind the
iron and bamboo curtains. With
the help of a factual magazine,
"Youth and Communism," this
column will endeavor to present
a summary of recent, important
but internal news events from
East Berlin to the South China
Sea.
Part 1
Albania
Albania, lying between Greece,
Yugoslavia and the lower Adri­atic
Sea, is controlled by the com­munist
party and Enver Hoxha is
first secretary of its central Alban­ian
committee. He recently stated,
"Youth groups must play an im­portant
role in the field (of help­ing
farmers in their work and of.
undertaking) . . . on their own
initiative, various worthwhile pro­jects.
They must improve a nd
further strengthen their ideologi­cal
and political work . . . You
must observe the directives of
the Party and of State organs,
and fully understand our Party's
policy . . . You must be aware of
all hostile and aggressive activi­ties
of the imperialists.
Latvia
Purges are not only a part of
history in the Baltic states. This
country, about the size of Austria,
has had most of it's high ranking
communists relieved in recent
months. Pravda has accused
these leaders of "localism, nation­alism,
seclusion and individual­ism.

To The Editor
The letter in this column last
week concerning the future lib­rary
had several misconceptions
regarding the heating and cooling
of a primarily glass structure.
The more glass you have, the
greater your heating and cooling
difficulties. Mainly, you have to
have larger units and with the
larger units, the greater your
operating expenses.
Besides being expensive, the
more glass you have, the harder
it is to maintain a constant and
a comfortable temperature. The
only advantage of large window
areas is to keep the shades and
window washers busy.
Also the point about the glass
area to obtain daylight to" study
by, tain't so. There are very few
buildings that depend on daylight
as a main source of light. The
trend is toward artificial light.
Great quantities of glass in it­self
do not make a modern build­ing.
It is the basic quality of the
design.
Yours for better lighting through
Sylvania.

On Skid Row in Babylonia
Nova a tireless derelict wanders
day and night, ceaselessly scrut­inizing
eagerly each new face he
meets, muttering a few quick
hopeful words, breaking off
helplessly, standing momentarily
dejected, and then hurrying with
anticipation to another figure,
another new face. Pathetic, mal­adjusted,
frustrated, he is one
caught by the law of survival of
the fittest, a man born hopelessly
out of season.
His fatal flaw is tragically
manifest in his malady, a rare
form of Diogenoia. He seeks, with
the persistent illogicity of his
obsession, not an honest man but,
as he mutters it, "just a man that
will admit the existence of posi­tive
evil." He himself will not
admit the obvious truth that all
truth is relative, cannot under­stand
that one is never guilty
until caught without a superfi­cially
rational explanation for
one's actions.
Before he absented himself
from polite society he became
something more than a nuisance,
to put it bluntly a real trouble­maker.
He obstinately refused, to
the great embarrassment of fam­ily
and friends, to accept the ne­cessary
convention of the white
lie and the indispensable art of
double-talk diplomacy. With the
characteristic profanity of the
mentally deranged, he uttered
abusive terms—such as "truth,
integrity, hypocrisy, and sin"—
in the most inauspicious places
and at the most inappropriate
times. He not only uttered such
phrases often but also stubbornly
insisted upon assigning defini­tions
to them and upon applying
them, negatively and positively,
to the activities of public figures.
Ere his career of public cru­sading
ended he had disrupted
the peaceful, orderly procedure
of numerous institutions—church­es,
schools, and governments—by
upsetting the principle of com­promise
upon which such insti­tutions
necessarily operate. For­tunately,
the institutions surviv­ed
his attacks and with, com­mendable
strength quickly re­turned
to the familiar pattern of
operation.
Nevertheless, his f a i l u re
brought no reformation and he
insulted the representatives of
Crusaders A n o n y m o u s that
sought to aid him. That he con­tinues
to exist is a credit to the
benevolence of a society that in
its wisdom refrains from eradi­cating
the hopelessly maladjust­ed
and with thoughtful kindness
provides such retreats as Skid
Row where they can pursue their
phantom realities with no harm
to anyone but themselves.
To parents that have children
who manifest the reformation
syndrome we recommend a fam­ily
visit to Skid Row while our
subject is still present. His hor­rible
example should immunize
them against further infestion by
the "simple integrity virus."
A Disgruntled Student
A city banker who had spent
his youth on a farm persuaded an
old neighbor to take on his son
for the summer. When the father
called to ask how the boy was
making out, the farmer declared,
"I ain't the one to bandy words
with you. If the boy of yours had
one more hand, he'd need a third
packet to put it in."
Lithuania
If Auburn students think they
are overworked, they should make
a note of the conditions at the
Polytechnic Institute of Kaunas,
located in central Lithuania.
The following is a letter from a
female first year architecture
student at that school:
"If you think that I don't
write because I'm lazy, you are
very wrong. I've been working
all week on a construction site.
It is very difficult. For several
days I cleaned floors with a damp,
moist rag. Just imagine a new,
still unfinished house and thick
layers of, crushed brick, lime and
cement covering these floors.
Teen-age boys scrape the floors
and remove the refuse in sacks
to the back yard. They are ex-ahusted,
covered with dust, and
look inhuman. It is difficult to
carry water in pails from the cel-ler
to the fourth floor. The average
job for us consists of two rooms
and a corridor. We work from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Lectures begin
at 6:15 p.m. No lateness is tolerated
since the lecturer refuses to admit
late-comers."
Lithuanian law requires begin­ning
students to work by day and
attend classes at night for a period
of two years; a good way, perhaps,
to weed out those with no desire
to learn.
Bulgaria
Komsomol, (i.e., communist
youth,) organizations are losing
strength rapidly. For instance, the
village of Zhelio Voyvoda in the
Sliven district of Bulgaria gives
this report:
The secretaries of the two Ko­msomol
societies in the village
. . . decided: 'We must under­take
a "purge"; most people do
not come to the assemblies, they
do not pay their monthly fees'
. . . After this 'purge,' out of 174
members in Komosomol societies
only 90 persons remained . . .
Yet in the village there are some
1,200 youths of Komosomol age
. . . For years the Komsomol or­ganization
of . . . Zhelyo Voyvoda
has been famous for its inactivity
. . . And the societies waned, the
numbers of their members de­creased.
And at last there re­mained
but two societies. The
' doors of the organizations were
growing narrower, their l i fe
within less interesting. A great
fault for this situation lies with
the district committee of Kom­somol.
Most guilty are the com­rades
from the section union or­gans
who up to now have not
proposed the examination of
such a weak organization. . . .
Apparently, communist oppo­sition
to religious activity is
backfiring in Bulgaria as well as
elsewhere. This excerpt was ta­ken
from a letter that recently
appeared in Narode Mladezh, the
Bulgarian communist youth un­ion
newspaper:
"We went to visit the church
and the cloister. Great was our
amazement when, among those
praying most fervently, we also
saw youth . . . who had been
having so much fun and amusing
themselves the night before. We
cannot remain indifferent . . .
The Komsomol committee . . .
should know all this and exam­ine
once again the educational
work of its organization."
The writer was apparently a
devout communist.
Czechoslovakia
Young people in this country
are complaining about movies.
They say, "There are too many
films on juvenile delinquency,
none on young people who create
and build." Imported films from
the West are the subject of much
criticism. A typical statement is,
"Suddenly our theaters are
flooded with murders, suicides,
fraudulent machinations . . ."
Youth's genius of surviving un­der
mentally adverse conditions
is illustrated by the activities of
a group of employees at the mo­tor
tractor station in Znojmo,
near the Austrian-Czech border.
The boys started a jazz band
and played hot music. The works
council stepped in and prohibit­ed
the playing of extravagant mu­sic.
What happened? The boys
continued their exhibitions of hot
jazz but introduced every session
by declaring that they would 'de­monstrate
jazz music as it should
not be played and as it is played
in the West. They met with even
more success than before the
council's prohibition. During the
sessions, there was a floor show;
a magician presented a masterly
trick in 'stealing' watches. Amid
loud applause he explained that
he learned the trick under capi­talism."
East Germany
Government regulations state
that the following persons have
admission priority at East Ger­man
universities:
"a. Applicants who have work­ed
successfully for several years
in Socialist industry or in gov­ernmental
and socio-political in­stitutions;
b. Applicants who have done
their honorary service in the arm­ed
forces of our state."
Fifteen young rock and rollers
were sent to prison last Novem­ber
for dancing in the streets and
singing, "We don't want any Lip-si,
and don't want Alo Koll. We
want Elvis Presley, and we want
his rock 'n' roll."
Lipsi is a state approved dance
and Alo Koll is the unpopular
dance-band leader who provides
the music.

4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, April 13, 1960
W. H. Byrd
Know candidates and
vote, Vote, VOTE!
The local campaigns for spring
elections have been waged hot
and heavy for some time now,
with candidates for the various
positions squaring off in typical
political fashion for a real elec­tion
year battle. There's plenty
of indication that politics, on any
level, are fought hard, fast and
often underhanded. This is "the
American Way," complete with
irrevelant disagreements, char­acter
typing, tired smiles, and
weary handshakes; with the main
issues often pushed;.; intoi the
background in favor efgyote. get­ting
gimmicks; with ' prestige
seekers in hot competition with
the serious aspirant, depending
on the art of bull-shooting to
keep them in the running and to
"snow" t h e i r half-interested
prospective voter. This is the way
it is, was, and probably always
will be—the good old American
way—and when it's finished at
Auburn there'll be a bigger one
to look forward to this summer
with some even bigger issues at
stake.
There'll be a lot who won't
bother to listen to the campaign­ers
or cast a ballot, there always
are—those for • whom the whole
affair is too petty or irrelevant,
those whose dignity it is beneath
to be interested in the condition
of Auburn University. This is ex­pected,
and not unique to the
Auburn scene; there are always
those who complain about the
state of the union yet never both­er
to voice their opinion at the
polls in favor of a better pro­position.
Some think that they
have no real and distinct choice,
that it makes no difference who
wins—whether at Auburn or on
the national scene. A closer in­vestigation
of the candidates and
the issues might clarify a distinc­tion;
but that takes effort, and
the voter is not always amiable
to the idea of effort. "You gets
what you pays for"; and you get
what you vote for; and you vote
for what you want. All too often
the result is nothing.
The issues involved in student
government are a lot larger than
the surface ones usually consid­ered.
For too long a time student
government has been a relatively
superficial thing with too little
other than prestige value illum­inating
the winners. If student
government is to be what it
should, then its horizons need
broadening. As the university
quickly expands more of the load
of actual governing should be
taken over by the students. Disci­plinary
cases could well be hand­led
by a judiciary body with well
defined limits a n d operational
procedures. Senators could be­come
actual representatives of
their class rather than figure­heads;
with the senate as a body
of responsible, interested stu­dents
willing to work and serve
the best interests of their consti­tuents
in legislative matters that
are too often dictated by the ad­ministration
at a waste of ad­ministrative
time and energy. The
executive branch needs the po­wer
to be executive, both in the
nature of its office and in the in-
'dividuals holding it. With sena­torial
power to frame policy,
executive power to control and
execute policy, and judicial po­wer
to enforce policy, the stu­dent
government could become a
real and workable governing
body. The university will be the
better for it; the status of stu­dent
will be enhanced; and it
works in other colleges.
All these conditions pose a task
worth consideration bjr the stu­dent
government candidates. The
worn out concept of social popu­larity
is too stale and too in­adequate
to be a real basis for
student government, if it is to be
that and not merely an imitation
oligarchy of social climbers. The
potential of student government
in a growing university is too
great to be suppressed by incom­petent
a n d disinterested mem­bers,
too necessary to a well de­veloped
university to be under­rated
by the voting body of stu­dents,
and too much a part of
student interest to be ignored by
the aloof. Yet this is the typical
situation come election time.
Plainsman issues are also taken
too lightly by many. As a news­paper
of sorts, The Plainsman
wields a power with far reaching
effects. It is read by a lot of
people in a lot of distant places,
people who do consider i,t as more
than a college tradition of humor,
social news, and sports. But like
any paper it is no stronger than
its editorial page. News and sports
are constant things, important in
their right; but the editorial page,
written by and for the student,
an expression of the value of the
student body as a whole—given
a competent editorial staff. The
Plainsman speaks for Auburn,
and Auburn will be judged on
how it speaks. Whether or not its
offices should be elective has long
been a matter of concern for
many; but as yet it remains elec­tive
and with the burden of
choice on the student body, a
choice that should not be taken
lightly—unless perhaps the stu­dent
body would prefer to be
represented by a funny-paper. A
candidate's plans for The Plains­man's
future should be weighed
well against The Plainsman's po­tential,
both as a newspaper and
an expensive item to pi-oduce
weekly.
The Glomerata is the personal
treasure of many alumni. Its
function is to capture the life and
times of Auburn in an organized
volume, to capture that bit of
Auburn spirit that prevails in a
given year. It takes a capable
staff, talented and hard working,
to produce a work of art worthy
of the purpose. It needs the lead­ership
of capable people, people
with whom the students will en­trust
the documentation of their
yearly activities. The Glom you
cherish will be the one you help
to produce with your vote.
Vote for whomever you like,
but vote; and I might add, know
who you're voting for and what
he or she stands for.

Historical Society to hear tale of President Broun
By L. O. BRACKEEN
T r i b u t e will be paid to one of the most "revolutionary
and progressive" presidents of Auburn University at t h e 13th
annual meeting of the Alabama Historical Association in
Selma, April 22-23.
He is William LeRoy Broun who resigned once because
the board of trustees failed to ap
prove his reorganization plans for
the college, and was reappointed
a year later after the board ac­cepted
the same plans. His tenure
as president was 1882-1883, 1884-
1902.
He not only completely remade
the basic courses of study but he
talked the legislature into chang­ing
the name of the institution,
established Auburn's p r e s e nt
state-wide Agricultural Experi­ment
Station System, admitted
the first women students, and
made Auburn known as a "well-rounded"
university.
The tribute to Dr. Broun will
be made by Dr. Malcolm McMil­lan,
research professor of history

at Auburn University, in a paper
entitled "William LeRoy Broun:
Soldier Scientist and Pioneer in
Agricultural and Industrial Edu­cation
in the South."
While serving as professor of
mathematics at Vanderbilt Uni­versity,
Dr. Broun delivered a
scientific address at t h e com­mencement
of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Ala­bama,
which led to his election as
president of Auburn in 1882.
"In his first year at Auburn,"
said Dr. McMillan, "President
Broun recommended far-reaching
changes in the curriculum with
the introduction of many scienti­fic
courses to be taught with the
use of the laboratory method. In
the spring of 1883, the trustees
failed to adopt his suggestions,
and he resigned to accept the
position as professor of mathe­matics
at the new University of
Texas.
"After he reached Austin, he
was also made chairman of the
faculty. In the meantime, Dr. Le­Roy
S. Boyd was made president
at Auburn. After his arrival, he
became aware of the situation
and also resigned effective after
about t h r e e months unless
Broun's re-organization of the
college was accepted. This time
the trustees agreed, and when
Boyd left to become president of
Louisiana State University after
one year, they recalled Dr.
Broun from Texas to again be­come
president of the institution.
"In 1884, President Broun re­turned
to Auburn, where he con­tinued
until the close of his life
(1902) as President of Alabama
Polytechnic Institute—a n a me
which he persuaded the legisla­ture
to give the institution in
1899. His work h e r e was the
crowning achievement of his life.
He completely remade the basic
courses of study, establishing
courses in engineering shopwork,
botany, and zoology, and creating
separate departments of mechan­ical
engineering, electrical engi­neering,
and plrysics. This re-or­ganization
made Auburn almost
unique among higher institutions

"With the aid of a state tax on
fertilizer, levied in 1885, and the

THE SEARCH FOR BRIDEY SIGAFOOS
It was a dullish evening at the Theta house. The pledges were
down in the catacombs; the actives were sacked out upstairs,
not doing much of anything. Mary Ellen Krumbald was stick­ing
pins in an effigy of the housemother; Evelyn Zinsmaster
was welding a manhole cover to her charm bracelet; Algelica
McKeesport was writing a letter to Fabian in blood. Like I say,
it was a dullish evening.
Suddenly Dolores Vladnay stood up and stamped her foot.
"Chaps," she said to her sorors, "this is too yawn-making! Let'3
do something gay and mad and gasp-making. Anybody got an
idea?"
."No," said the sorors, shaking their little sausage curls.
"Think, chaps, think!" said Dolores and passed Marlboro
cigarettes to everybody, for if there ever was a smoke to start
you thinking, it is mild and flavorful Marlboro! Things come
clear when you puff that good, clean smoke through that fina
filter—knots untie, dilemmas dissolve, problems evaporate,
cobwebs vanish, fog disperses, and the benevolent sun pours
radiance on a new and dewy world. Oh, happy world! Oh,
Marlboro! Oh, soft pack! Oh, flip-top box I Oh, get some
already!
rN I lw l0mi m/ineid zm$Bk
Now Geraldine Quidnunc, her drooping brain cells revivified
by a good Marlboro, leapt up and cried, "Oh, I have a perfect
gasser of an idea! Let's hypnotize somebody!"
. "Oh, capital!" cried the sorors. "Oh, tingle-making!"
At this point, in walked a young pledge named Alice Blue-gown.
"Excuse me, mistresses," said she, tugging her forelock,
"I have finished making your beds, doing your homework, and
ironing your pleats. Will there be anything else?"
"Yes," snapped Dolores Vladnay. f'When I count to three,
you will be hypnotized."
"Yes, excellency," said Alice, bobbing a curtsey.
"One, two, three," said Dolores.
Alice promptly went into a trance.
"Go back," said Dolores, "back into your childhood. Go
back to your fifth birthday, back to your birth, to before your
birth, to your last incarnation . . . Now, who are you?"
"My name is Bridey Sigafoos," said Alice. "The year is 1818,
and I am in County Cork."
"Coo!" said the sorors.
?How old are you?" asked Dolores.
"I am seven," said Alice.
VWhere is your mother?" asked Dolores.
"I don't know," said Alice. f'She got sold at the fair last
year."
"Coo!" said the sorors.
"Tell us about yourself," said Dolores.
"I am five feet tall," said Alice. "I have brown eyes, and I
weigh 3200 pounds."
"Cop!" said the sorors.
"Isn't that rather heavy for a girl?" said Dolores.
"Who's a girl?" said Alice. "I'm a black and white guernsey.*!.
"Coo!" said the sorors.
"Moo!" said Bridey Sigafoos.

Wusn't Football!
By Jimmie Dyal
Auburris INTERNATIONAL Soccer
Club, under the experienced eye of Coach
Dan McNair, is once more in the organ­izing
process.
Each Saturday and Sunday afternoons
the Club members practice their ball
control and speed, and if members
brought their countries' flags, the fresh­man
field would resemble the U.N.
Building. Among nations represented
are China (2), Mexico, Colombia (3), Venezuela, Guatamala (2),
Iraq (3), Syria, Azores, Brazil, and Latvia. The team is com­posed
of 50 men, of which 25 practice regularly.
, The Stars . . .
Coach McNair is extremely proud of his "Mutt and J e f f com­bination
which places 5'6" Carlos Larranaga, inside left, and 6'1"
basketballcr Jorge Haeussler inside right.
Caros hails from Lima, Peru, where he played soccer under
the direction of professionals associated with the Big League.
While still in prep school, Carlos was a member of the Peruvian
team which won the championship of South America. For his
magnificent display of skill and determination, the mild manner­ed
Peruvian was presented a gold watch by the President of his
country.
Although Carlos weighs a mere 130 lbs. soaking wet, he is a
very aggressive player. In the last three games with Fort Ben-ning
the soldiers set two men guarding Carlos because of his
fearless goal approach and bewildering ball control.
Larranaga says, "In South America, the kids pick up a soccer
ball about the same age American youngsters are throwing base­balls."
For this reason most outstanding soccer players hail from
foreign soils.

After driving his materializing football team through a
harassing first week of spring drills, head Tiger mentor
Ralph "Shug" Jordan says, "Things are progressing on sche­dule,
but we aren't entirely pleased. There's a need for
more enthusiasm among these boys. Some of them show
plenty, some don't."

Biggest Sport in World'
Soccer in South America is on the same scale, if not larger,
than America's football or baseball. Coach McNair commented,
"Soccer is the biggest sport in the world. A stadium has recently
been completed in Brazil which will seat 200,000. If you can ima­gine,
two Cliff Hare's and the Roman Coliseum . . . that's mighty
big."
A recent challenge by Georgia's Wesleyan College has been
declined. It seems the girls have the upper hand in the exper­ience
and physical condition department.
Auburn soccerers have had difficulty in the past scheduling
games; however, as of late this has been no problem. Maxwell
Air Force Base has challenged, finding Auburn glad to take the
field once more. Foreign officers comprise most of the Fliers'
squad, and Auburn may find the experienced Maxwell Fliers not
an easy bunch to ground.
But like AU's fighting native sports teams, our naturalized
citizens will give it the ole War Eagle battle all the way!
Throughout the four practice
days of last week, newcomers
to the A u b u r n football picture
d r ew the cream of Shug's
praise. Prominent on Jordan's
l i ps has been t a l k of a new
b a c k f i e l d ' s development—a crew
of hefty sophomores who Shug's
dubbed "The Four Horsemen."
Proud members are quarter­back
Joe Overton, l e f t h a l f J i m ­my
Bonner, righthalf Bobby
" T u r k e y " Lee, and fullback
L a r r y Laster. A l l seem to f i t i n ­to
Jordan's " e n t h u s i a s t i c " cate­gory.
Size, s p e e d , versatility, and
desire of. this "Four Horse"
backfield has kept the Jordan
eye, peering down from an ele­vated
Drake Field platform,
closely glued to the young quar­tet.
Each member weighs over
190, runs swiftly and powerful­ly,
tackles decisively, and blocks
with precision. Overton, built
on the lines of Georgia's Char­ley
Britt, has thus far thrown
the ball like a bullet . . . and
with pin-point control much of
the time. His three backfield
playmates all can hang on to
Joe's throws.
Before practice opened, Jor­dan's
greatest worries seemed
to shadow the end, guard, cen­ter,
and halfback positions. Af­ter
Saturday's wet practice, the
Sugar man commented, "T h e
work of. Jimmy Bonner and
Turkey Lee at halfback and the
fine showing of this Jim Price
at center have made the out­looks
at these two positions
more encouraging."
Freshman Price has been
somewhat a surprise. Listed at
the bottom of an entire bushel
of pivotmen before d r i l l s , Price
has moved into the picture by
way of viciously determined
play. He's b u i l t along the lines
of A l l - A m e r i c a Jackie Burkett
— 6 ' - 4 " , 215 pounds.
Other new faces pleasing Jor­dan's
watchful eye last week
were fullbacks Bill Baggett and
Bill Burgess. Both seem hell­bent
on pushing front runners
Ed Dyas and John McGeever
out of. the way.
Performance; of red-haired
McGeever continues to draw
praise from Jordan and staff,
so advent of Baggett, Burgess,
or Laster of the "Horsemen,"
into full-time status will be
quite a task. McGeever's dis­play
of tremendous speed and
his hard-hitting defensive play
have been practice high points.
Having good days Saturday
were gigantic 250-pound tackle
Billy Wilson and halfback Bob­by
Lauder, both squarely in the
picture, as ever. Initially hind­ered
by lack of work, Lauder
ran wild in scrimmage Satur­day,
fourth day of drills. Added
weight, as anticipated, has giv­en
Lauder new inside capabili­ties
while not hampering the
blazing-fast halfback's breaka­way
threat to the outside.
Impressive in a Friday s c r i m - .,
mage was quarterback star,
TIGER LINEMEN AND BACKS band together for vicious
blocking-tackling drills. Shug is quick to find out who "really
wants to play football."
AFTER SHUG CALLS QUITS to these bone-crushing ma­neuvers,
more's still ahead—a "play for keeps" SCRIMMAGE.
Jordan seems happy thus far with sights like the above.
j u n i o r - t o - b e , Bobby Hunt, who
ran and passed his f i r s t team to
v i c t o r y over the second unit.
Showing deadly aerial accuracy
on the r o l l - o u t pass option,
Bobby threw t w o beautiful
touchdown heaves, and kept
f o r a t h i r d touch. T w o Hunt i n ­terceptions
of Joe Overton pass­es
capped a f i r s t team TD set­up
and produced one touchdown
r u n back.
Biggest fight of the spring
developed at left end early last
week. Flankmen Dave Edwards
and Bobby Foret, christened by
team mates as the Bobsey
twins because of the similarity
in everything they do, have
been in the midst of a battle
which should jiggle one, then
the other back and forth into
the starting job all spring.
Currently, Foret is manning

Tough Week For Netters
BY JIMMIE DYAL
It'll be a full week ahead for
the Auburn tennis squad, bear-rers
of a 2-1 record after three
matches and a rainout. Tomor­row's
foe is the Vanderbilt Com­modore
entry, who'll host Au­burn
on Nashville soil. Friday
the Tigers collide with Tennes­see
at Chattanooga, then come
home Saturday to meet tough
Florida, pre-season co-favorite
along with ever-untouchable
Tulane. Again on the home
courts, next Tuesday's opponent
is Birmingham Southern.
AUBURN-HOWARD
Hr.rd, gusty winds blowing at
nearly gale proportions hamp­ered
both teams throughout the
matches last week.
The first singles match placed
No. 1 man George "Rabbit"
Bagwell (A) against B'ham's
No. 1 Carlton Cook. Bagwell's
sizzling serve and well-placed
forehand shots gave him the win
in three sets 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
Auburn dropped five singles
and three doubles with only
several close games. One of the.
more exciting matches found
Paul Anderson (A) and G e ne
Jones (BS) No. 4 men battling
three sets 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Jones..
took the first set easily enough,
and Anderson took the second.
Tension grew in the final set,'
and with score 5-4, Anderson
missed a short crosscourt shot
opening the door for Jones' vic­tory.
In restropect,! Billy Wilson,
No. 3 man optimistically com-'
mented, "We'll take Howard'
when we play here because by
then we'll have had more time
to practice." -

Minor Sports Are Now In Swing I
BY ED JAMES
Intramurals Editor ; ' ".
With softball going full blast
in all three leagues now, it's
time for all to catch a breath
and get down to participation in
the minor sports of the spring,
quarter intramural ' program.
Tennis, badminton, and horse
shoes all began Monday of this
week with a full schedule on
tap for everyone interested. The
track meet is scheduled for the.
weekend of May 27-2a (Satur­day
classes)., This,1 alo/ig With,
the four above mentioned sports
is enough to keep everyone
jumping.
This reporter would like to
express his thanks to Alpha-
Phi Omega for their donation
of one gross of softballs and al­so
to the fraternities who do­nated
$5 each for the league of­ficials.
Their help makes pos­sible
a full spring quarter in­tramural
program.
Softball Action
The SAEs and the ATOs play­ed
it down to the wire last week
as they battled for number one
position in what is probably the
toughest league in the frater­nity
softball loop. Jack Hitch­cock
and Craig Sutton handled
the pitching chores for the SAEs
while Carlton Niemeyer did the
same for the ATOs. SAEs Billy
Frizzle blasted his team to an
11-8 victory with a homer with
one on.

As a college sophomore, you're nearing the mid-point.
Halfway through college—halfway through Army ROTC.
Now. you face a major decision: Are the gold bars of a
Second Lieutenant worth two additional years of study
in advanced ROTC?
That question is yours to answer now—before you
register for your junior year. As you explore the facts,
carefully weigh the traditional responsibilities and rewards
of serving as an Army officer.. i
" 1. Traditional responsibilities. To meet the command responsi­bilities
of an Army officer, you apply the leadership prin­ciples
absorbed during advanced ROTC training. And your
executive potential grows as you gather leadership experi­ence.
That's why employers often prefer men who served as
commissioned officers.. These men already have proven
their capacity to shoulder executive responsibility.
2 . Traditional rewards. In every organization, greater respon­sibilities
mean greater rewards-. Thus the traditional respon­sibilities
and prestige of an Army officer are matched by
material advantages. For example, if you plan to marry
soon after graduation—an officer's salary can be a distinct
advantage. A married 2nd Lieutenant earns a minimum of
$355.68 per month—plus substantial fringe benefits.
Need more information? Check with the Professor of Mili­tary
Science and Tactics at your college or university.
He'll be glad to discuss your decision with you.
*Last year, 14,436 sophomores answered "yes" to this question—and entered advanced Army ROTC.
Fast-starting Tracksters To Face Tide
After Mopping-up Georgia Thinclads
BY JAMES ABRAMS
After a convincing opening
day dual meet win over Georgia,
Coach Wilbur HutselFs power-laden
Auburn track team heads
west to Tuscaloosa Saturday for
a dual lion-fight with a. solid
Alabama aggregation. Then it's
home again for a two-week lay­off
before facing perennial SEC
toughie Florida on the home
track, April 30.
A combination of fleet-foot­ed
sophomores and strong-arm
footballers gave Coach Wilbur
Hutsell's tracksters a runaway
86-50 victory over Georgia last
Saturday on Cliff Hare Stad­ium's
damp cinders.
Auburn's best looking soph­omore
aggregation in years ac­counted
for 42'4 points. Grid
men, stepping out of the spring
training picture for a half-day,
scored in eight of the fourteen
events and brought home 22
points. Cleat-shoed men includ­ed
Jimmy Bonner, Ken Rice,
Jimmy Morrow, Joe Leicht-nam,
George Gross, and Rich­ard
Guthrie.
Despite the dismal weather,
Richard Crane broke the Au­burn-
Georgia dual meet record
in the discus throw with a
heave of 158'-9V£". Crane, un­aware
that he had broken the
record, said as he left the sta­dium,
"I guess I'll save my
throws for a good day."
Jimmy Dozier's 4:25.4 mile
was one of. the Auburn bright
spots during the rain. Formerly
an 880 man, Dozier ran and won
the mile in his first time in
competition. The talented soph,
who holds the all-time Auburn
freshman 880 record, missed
breaking the duel meet record
by only two and seven tenths
seconds.
Top individual scorer of the
day was another Tiger soph,
Corky Frost. Winning the 120-
yard high hurdles, 220 low hur­dles,
placing second in the broad
jump, and running a leg on the
victorious 440 relay team, gave
Frost 14% points.
Another speedster, Jimmy
Morrow, earned 10% points for
second in the 220 and third in
Morrow won the 100 and placed
second in the 220 and third in
Baseball...

to gain a split in the series by
downing the visiting Plainsman,
8-6, Saturday.
The Tigers got off to an ear­ly
lead in the second inning
Friday when catcher Joe Woods
singled in two runs. In the third
inning Coach Erskine Russell
saw his charges bat around
while picking up four more
runs. The big blow of the frame
was a two-run triple by first
baseman Jack Anderson.
Big righthander Alan Koch
gave up only one earned run, a
homer to Bill Saba in the sixth,
while scattering six hits for his
second win, against one loss.
In the three games Koch has
pitched this season he has al­lowed
only five earned runs

Harvard to spring football prac­tice,
dropped an 18-3 decision
to the University of Alabama
last Tuesday but came back the
next day to down Howard Col­lege
of Birmingham, 11V2-6V2.
Alabama had the home course
advantage and strong winds
caused higher than average
scores to both teams. In the
first two flights Alabama won
by only two strokes but the
margin held up for the win.
Coach Sonny Dragoin only had
four men for the Howard match
but each one played improved
golf and' the results showed it.
Henry Wheaton had the best
round for the Tigers on the two
day trip, an even par 72 against
Howard.
Last Monday Dragoin's link-men
were hosts to Alabama and
Florida State in a triangular
meet played at the Columbus
.Country Club. However, the re­sults
were not available at press
time.
Auburn's next match will be

week at the mountain city.
