AUBURN EXTENSION SERVICE HEAD, E. T. YORK,
RECENT ADDITION TO KENNEDY'S AGRICULTURE STAFF
BY JIM DINSMORE
Dr. E, T. York, Extension Serv­ice
director of Auburn Univer­sity,
was granted a year leave of
absence to become administrator
of the Federal Extension Service
of the United States Department
of Agriculture in Washington. His
appointment was announced on
March 31 by Secretary of Agri­culture
Orville L. Freeman.
Although just officially an­nounced,
Dr. York's high ap­pointment
had been indicated by
department officials earlier. Since
assuming his post at Auburn in
Dr. E. T. York
1959, Dr. York launched an agri­culture
program designed to
double the income of Alabama
farmers. The Kennedy adminis­tration
recognized Dr. York's out­standing
work in appointing him
the position in the Agriculture
Department.
When Auburn president Dr.
Ralph B. Draughon heard about
the appointment, he spoke very
highly of York. "Dr. York, I
am advised, is the first Southern­er
and the youngest man ever to
be.named U.S.DA. Extension ad­ministrator.
Auburn is honored
by his selection, and pleased to
make • his services available to
the nation."
Dr. York became director of
the Extension Service at Auburn
on May 1, 1959. He holds B.S. and
M.S. degrees from Auburn and a
doctor's degree from Cornell Uni­versity.
Now, as federal adminis­trator,
Dr. York will have an
office in Washington of some 100
employees.
* * *
Meanwhile, Dr. Fred R. Robert­son
was appointed acting director
of the Auburn Extension Serv­ice
to serve - during Dr.» York's
leave of absence. Dr. Robertson
has served as associate director
at A u b u r n since July 1, 1959.
At that time he was put in charge
of program planning and coord­ination
in the Agriculture Exten­sion
Department.
Dr. Robertson holds B.S. and
M.S. degrees in agriculture from
the University of Tennessee and a
doctor's degree from Harvard. At
Harvard his grade average was
the highest in an agricultural
group of about 25.
Before coming to Auburn Dr.
Robertson served as an assistant
county agent in Tennessee, five
years as an agricultural econo­mist
with the Tennessee Valley
Authority, and three and one-half
| years as professor of agricultural
economics at Pennsylvania State
University.
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon was
very complimentary of Dr. Ro­bertson
and expressed confidence
in his ability to act as director
in Dr. York's absence. "Dr. Ro­bertson,
who has .served, as asso­ciate
director since July 1, 1959,
is well qualified to carry on the
work in Alabama and I know he
will do an excellent job."
This year's appropriation to the
Federal Extension Service is $56.7
million. Most of these funds go
to the states to help in their pro­grams.
In his new position, Dr.
York will administer these funds
and make the necessary improve­ments
in the national agricultural
development program.

Election Changes In SGA Constitution
Subject To Student Decision April 13
In accordance with Student Body Constitution requirements re­garding
changes and amendments, this proposal is being published
again for the careful consideration of students.—Ed.
Several pertinent changes concerning student body elec­tion
qualifications are now under consideration, according to
Superintendent of Political Affairs Jimbo Rogers. They are
subject to approval by the student body, and will be included
on the ballot in the forthcoming spring election.
Due to the controversy over the
disqualification of several candi­dates
in the fall elections, the Su­perintendent
of Political Affairs
requested that the Jurisprudence
Committee give a written inter­pretation
of the qualifications for
candidates for Student Body and
School officers.
The Jurisprudence Committee
felt that it was not the purpose of
the Constitution to disqualify a
candidate on the basis of. not hav­ing
taken the specific c o u r s es
necessary for classification in a
particular class. The committee's
interpretation bases a candidate's
qualification on the n u m b e r of
hours attempted while in school
rather than that the class stand­ing
recorded in the Registrar's of­fice.
The Jurisprudence Committee
does not have the power to change
the Constitution—only to inter­pret
it. The following is the com­mittee's
interpretation of the
qualifications regulations as pres­ently
stated in the Constitution:
(1) Candidates for President and
vice-president of the s t u d e n t
body shall have attempted two-thirds
(8 quarters) of the total
number of. hours required for
graduation. This includes spring
quarter.
(2) Candidates for Treasurer of
the Student Body shall have at­tempted
5/12 (5 quarters) of
the total number of hours re
quired for graduation. This in
eludes spring quarter.
(3) Candidates for Secretary of
the Student Body shall have at
tempted 1/6 (2 quarters) of the
total hours required for grad­uation.
T h i s includes spring
quarter.
(4) Candidates for Senior Sena­tor
shal meet the same qualifi­cations
as candidates for Presi­dent
and Vice-President of the
Student Body.
* * *
In regards to Article IX, Sec­tion
4, Paragraph 10, of the Stu­dent
Body Constitution, ( . . . "no
student may be elected to more
than one school or student body
office in the same year . . . " ) . The
Jurisprudence Committee inter­prets
"year" in this paragraph as
meaning "calendar year" rather
than "academic year." This inter­pretation
will enable school offi­cers
and freshman senators, elect­ed
in the fall, to run for elections
in the spring.
In an effort to remedy the fu­ture
problems of qualifications for
candidates, the following amend­ments
to the Student Body Con-
T. Jones and Jeff Feagin; Sarah
Keen and Joe Svetlay; Sara Kin-zer
and Jim Harris;
Troy Long and Gene Cashman;
Linda Moore and Charles Hig-gins;
Mary Carole McCreary and
John Thomas; Diane McLaughlin
and Joe Thompson; Priscilla Pit­man
and Ralph Burns; Elizabeth
Sims and Jimmy Cheshire; Lee
Stansell and Tommy Adams; Nel-da
Young and Teddy Reinhart;
Mary Forbus and Bob Chambers.
stitution are proposed, and will be
subject to the vote of the student
body in the forthcoming election.
ARTICLE IX—General Elections
Section 4, Para. 3: Candidates
for membership in the S t u d e n t
Senate may qualify only as fol­lows:
1. A candidate for Freshman
Senator shall be in either his first
or second quarter of residency and
shall be classified as a freshman
by the Registrar of Auburn Uni­versity.
(2) A candidate for Sophomore

IFC Presents Joni James In Pre-Fair Festivity
All-Campus Dance Set For VF;
Open To Independents, Greeks
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
The A u b u r n I n t e r f r a t e r n i t y Council will present Miss Joni
James on Friday, April 14, at t h e Student Activities Building.
Her appearance will be in conjunction with Village Fair,
which is to be held the following day. Accompanying Miss
James will be the Auburn Knights Orchestra, who will also
provide dance music for this
general campus dance.
According to Bobby McCord,
Chairman of Village Fair, ". . .
in making the Joni James dance
open and free to non-fraternity
students as well as fraternity
members, the IFC has provided a
boost for Village Fair campus en­thusiasm,
as well as an enjoyable
evening of entertainment for
everyone."
Auburn is most fortunate in ac­quiring
the services of Miss
James. Some still remember her
for her successful appearance
here in 1958. Since her first re­cord,
"Why Don't You Believe
Me?," (which sold over a million
copies) in 1952, the young and
talented songstress hos sold well
over 40 million records on the
MGM label. At one time, she had
three records in the top 10, and
she has received, to date, eight
gold records. Recently, she met a
prolonged success with "Be My
Love."
Joni James' list of personal ap­pearances
includes practically
every major club, ballroom, and
concert hall in the country; a
road which has seen her at the
Palladium in London and at a
standing-room-only performance
at Carnegie Hall in New York.
She has been a frequent guest on
the TV shows of Ed Sullivan and
Perry Como.
Joni's fine reputation locally is
evidenced by the wave of enthu­siasm
displayed last quarter prior
to her scheduled performance at
the Greek Week Dance. As many
will regretfully recall, her Au­burn
visit had to be cancelled at
the last minute because of violent
snowstorms in the New York
area. Since that time, the IFC has
had numerous requests that Joni's
appearance be re-scheduled, and
upon inquiry, it was learned that
she would be available for Vil­lage
Fair weekend.

THIS YEAR'S Village Fair is
to be one of interesting innova­tion.
Many phases of its program
are being revitalized. One such
area is the Village Fair festival,
under the direction of Sam Gen­try.
The most recently-announced
feature of the festival is the pre­sentation
of a trophy, for the first
time, to Miss Auburn. Jimbo Ro­gers,
President of ODK (which
will sponsor the trophy annually)

ETV Beams Auburn To 600,000
Joni James
The Auburn University Educa-cational
TV station beams a
strange, new brand of television
—commercial - l e s s educational
television. By paying close atten­tion
to Auburn television those
Alabama folk who are willing to
forego the pleasures of commer­cial
television can earn them­selves
a high school diploma. Stu­dents
in high school can take re­medial
courses in English and
math via the air waves before
they reach the college level. Au­burn
students can take credit
courses by merely sitting in front
of a television and listening and
absorbing. And anyone who has
access to one of the more than
600,000 sets that the Auburn sta­tion
reaches can pick up know­ledge
by merely turning a knob.
This is Auburn Educational Tele­vision.
Actually, the Auburn TV sta­tion
is only one part of the Ala­bama
Educational Television Net­work,
the world's first and larg­est
ETV network. However, the
role of Auburn in this vast net­work
is quite significant. The
Auburn ETV station came into
existence in October, 1955, just
10 months after the initial broad­cast
over the Alabama Educa­tional
Television network. Au­burn
programs, "Today's Home,"
from the Home Economics De­partment,
"Time to Grow," a gar­den
show with Tom Eden, and
"Farm Facts" from the Agricul­ture
Department have been tele-will
make the presentation to the
1962 Miss Auburn. This annual
trophy-awarding has been initiat­ed
because of the fact that, while
similar campus honors include a
trophy or prize of some kind, the
holder of the coveted "Miss Au­burn"
title receives nothing ma­terial
for her honor.
Reading Improvement Advantageous;
Students Can Double Reading Speed
' Does a reading speed of 25,000
words per minute sound unbe­lievable?
Although they are rare,
some persons can actually read
that fast; and nearly everyone
can be taught to double or triple
his present reading speed.
Mrs. Barbara Edwards, director
of the Auburn University reading
improvement program, says the
average speed of college students
is 250 words per minute. "This,"
states Mrs. Edwards, "is much be­low
their capabilities."
In order to cope with the de­ficiency
and to ease the pressure
of large classroom assignments,
Auburn inaugurated the reading
improvement program in 1951.
The facility now handles 800 stu­dents
each year and is equipped
with laboratories, reading aid
machines and its own indexed
library.
The most noteworthy feature of
the program, according to Mrs.
Edwards, is its large library and
its ability to tailor the course to
the individual. Each student re­ceives
personal aid from his in­structor.
He is able to find read­ing
material and use machines
that are fitted to his individual­ity.
The library is cross-indexed for
selection of subjects at various
speeds and with different depths
of thought. Traditional library
books, history, novels and poetry
are represented; but there are
also books on how to read and
comprehend. For example, 17
volumes,,on the subject, "How to
read mathematics" are included.
Each art and science has its ap­propriate
number of similar in­structional
pamphlets. There are
many volumes on such subjects
as: "How to study," "How to pre­pare
for a quiz," "Poetry com­prehension,"
or "synonyms, an­tonyms,
homonyms and homo­graphs."
* * *
AIDING the library in increas­ing
speed are different types of
reading aid machines. The pacer
pushes an opaque sheet at a par­ticular
speed over the page being
read. This forces an increased
rate from the student. Flash met­ers
of both individual and class­room
size help increase instant-eous
comprehension by flashing
numbers on a. screen for very
short periods of time. Eventually,
gifted students are able to re­member
seven digit numbers that
they have seen for only one one-hundredth
of a second!
The results have been reward­ing.
An average freshman begin­ning
the training at the 23rd per-centile
compared with his class­mates
will rank at the 76th per­centile
upon completion. Students
who already read well often pro­fit
even more and many grad­uate
students are amazed at the
results.
Reading improvement is now
entering Alabama high schools
with the aid of a device called
the Science Research Associates
reading lab. Administrators at all
educational levels are hopeful of
a general improvement of read­ing
proficiency due to Auburn-type
programs.
TOM EDEN, OF EDUCATIONAL TV, LEADS TWO LIVES-TV
PRODUCER AND NAVAL TRAINING OFFICER
BY HELEN NEISLER
What does a TV producer do on
his weekend off? If he's Tom
Eden of Auburn Television, he
becomes one of the country's
Week-End Warriors.
Eden is the producer, director
and host for a daily arid weekly
feature. "Farm Facts" is a 15-
minute daily giving the weather
forecast,, the daily market reports,
the latest news in the field and
a special feature. He also does the
Tuesday-nighter "Time to Grow."
This show is enjoying great popu­larity
at present with its land­scaping
series.
Both of those programs are in
their sixth year of broadcasting.
He is also producer-director for
another program in its sixth year,
"Today's Home," with Mrs. Lee
Cannon, each Wednesday morn­ing.
The latter program has con­tinuously
served the Southeast,
making. available to students and
homemakers new, exciting and
valuable information in all areas
of home economy.
But, come the first week end
in each month Producer-Direc­tor-
Host Eden is, instead, Lieut­enant
Eden of the Naval Air Re­serve,
and he's off for Atlanta
and the Naval Air Station. There
he serves as aviation technical
officer for Air Wing Staff Squad­ron
67.
This rather imposing t i t le
means that he is in charge of co­ordinating
training and advance-

ment for over 200 enlisted men.
Eden counsels new recruits on
the military job best suited to
their particular talents, super­vises
the completion of necessary
correspondence courses, directs
the planning of classroom and on
the job training and generally,
sees that all men receive training
for advancement in rate and pay
in the minimum time.
At times Eden finds that he can
combine his multi-facet civilian
and military duties. On a recent
weekend trip, he brought along
some kinescopes of a series ex­plaining
the "how to" and
"wherefore" of the slide rule.
These films proved to be a real
help to the trainees in the elec­tronics
technician classes.
Eden received his Bachelor of
Science degree in ornamental
horticulture from Auburn Uni­versity
in 1950, and did additional
research in the field between
1953 and 1955. He is a veteran of
World War II and the Korean
Conflict. Joining the Navy in
1945, he has been a member of
the active Naval Air Reserve
since 1950.
Pi Beta Phi's
Elect Officers
Alabama Gamma chapter of Pi
Beta Phi sorority in Auburn has
announced its new officers for
1961.
Linda Ellis of Columbiana is the
new president, while Durelle Lamb
of Macon, Ga., will serve as vice-president.
Nancy Brown of Gads­den
and Nancy Jo Sims, Falkville,
will serve as recording and cor­responding
secretaries respective­ly.
Scholarship chairman is Lynn
Flannagan of Anniston. The social
vised ever since the Auburn sta­tion's
opening. They have met
with much success and popular­ity.
The Music Department and
Dramatics Department have air­ed
many entertaining shows from
the Auburn station.
In addition to the programs of
general interest, Auburn ETV has
found its way into classrooms on
campus. During the fall quarter,
"Introduction to Business" was
beamed to the sets in Dunstan
301 in addition to reaching the
inmates of Kilby Prison and in­terested
viewers all over the
state. Winter quarter the same
course taught by Dr. Frisby went
out twice daily from the Auburn
ETV station. This quarter Pro­fessor
Bagwell teaches "Princi­ples
of Geography" from the Au­burn
studio.
THESE programs were an ex­periment.
The question was "Can
students actually learn the mat­ters
when it is relayed over an
impersonal television?," "C a n
television take the place of a
teacher actually present?" The
answer to these questions was a
resounding "Yes!" Auburn stu­dents
who took these courses
were asked to give an opinion of
education by television. The an­swers
proved to be generally fa­vorable.
And there was "no signi­ficant
difference" in the grades
of students in the TV classes as
compared with the grades of stu­dents
taking the same course with
the same teacher actually pre­sent.
These results point to the
future of Auburn educational
television; it is as unlimited as
education itself.

Status Quo . . .or Progress?
IT IS appalling that Auburn's student elec­tions
have become a perennial POPU­LARITY
CONTEST. In recent elections, few
candidates have presented any sort of plat­form
whatsoever. They gain office on vague
promises of making Auburn "better" by
doing the nebulous "good job" if elected.
After this sort of beginning, too many
student leaders remain just that nebulous
in the performance of their jobs.
As electioneering gains momentum, vo­ters
should question the candidates intent­ly
and force them for once into taking
stands on prospective issues. Then the vot­ers
should decide whether progress in stu­dent
affairs is what they really want or if
the STATUS QUO is quite good enough.
No 'Fool' Issue...
IT IS not at all arbitrary that we break
Plainsman tradition this spring in not
printing the annual "April Fool" issue.
After a study of the situation, we find
that the brief, then forgotten chuckles af­forded
many readers by "Fool" issues do
not justify the damages professed in past
years by some of the organizations and
personalities punned so badly and need­lessly
in "April Fool" editions.
Then too, it is poor journalistic practice
and we would think far below-board to use
such a medium to criticize those,,figures
whose policies and actions we miglit view
as questionable. It appears more virtuous
to formulate critical s t a n d s straightfor­wardly
when and if necessary, without any
application of the humor veiLTRis'is ciur
intention.
Frozen Economic 'World'...
GENERAL BUSINESS conditions in Auburn
have long been a dream for merchants
bent on economic exploitation. The com­munity's
buying power, centered of course
in the student aggregate, is nothing short
of overwhelming. What is more, that power
is virtually frozen into the confines of this
town.
So Auburn is a sort of economy in itself.
Exorbitant prices bear this out. We would
be naive to expect even the most well-meaning
man of the business world to for­go
Auburn's "get-rich-quick" opportunity,
even though a refusal to exploit the situa­tion
would follow the professed line of big
business to provide a mass of products at
prices the public can afford. Only a com­plete
fool would refuse to take some advan­tage
of Auburn's economic isolationism.
It is unfortunate then that not all or
nearly all our students have the resources
that Auburn merchants demand in ex­change
for their wares. To get through
school, many students, as in the 30's and
40's, MUST work part time. Here is our
key point. The labor market is just as fro­zen
as that in which the Auburn consumer
is forced to deal . . . only the situation is
even worse.
We cannot view as humane the incred­ibly
low wages Auburn businessmen dribble
out to their student help, in face of the
prosperity evident in local business and
the hard work inherent in the jobs many
students Jiold.
Illustrations: A very reputable eating es­tablishment
is obviously understaffed in
waiters, student waiters all. This leaves
each individual with an unbelievable con-frontation
of WORK. At this restaurant
there is no exchange of money between
management and workers. The students are
paid in meals, on a mere 60 cents per hour
basis. There is absolutely no discount to
them on the food they eat. They even pay
tax.
An uptown book store "forfeits" what
is very likely the best wage in town . . .
75 cents per hour . . . same during the
chaotic rush at quarter's beginning. Of
course we can all see that their operating
margin is so near casting the owners into
penury that they could not possibly afford
more!
A men's store, with its cash register
ringing out the happy rhythm of success
at a higher crescendo every day, provides
60 cents hourly wage to student employees.
So it goes . . . all over town.
Prices merchants charge—be they ex­orbitant
or not—are one thing, but when
our business overlords show the audacity
to reduce members of our student body
to a state of peonage, they blacken the Vil­lage's
name. It is a further shame that
champions of the student cause do not seem
able to figure out what to do about such
inconceivable functioning of the business
mind. But someday, things are going to
catch up with our affluent merchant
friends.
Perhaps soon the "Loveliest Village" will
by necessity become Goldsmith's "Auburn,
The Deserted Village," warmed over.
More 'Gobbledegook' . . .
WE HESITATE to comment at all here, at
the risk of "scapegoating scapegoating,"
and at the most extreme, possibly adding
still more "scapegoating" modifiers to this
already-tired term. But it does seem that,
with all kidding aside, we should give such
campus ridicule-targets as the University
Infirmary a fair chance of judgement rath­er
than falling prey to the natural human
tendency to "go along with the crowd" in
poking fun at something.
This is especially pertinent when dealing
with such a topic of seriousness as our Uni­versity
medical care.
Your family doctor is possibly a long­time
family friend who treats you as "com­pany"
whenever you are in his office. You
are accustomed .to this congenial medical
atmosphere.
Is it not possible, also, that our Univer­sity
medical staff could be equally as com­petent
handling 9,000 students as your
"fatherly" family doctor at home—sans
personal involvement and "coddling"?—
Boettcher.
Televised Enlightenment...
WITH THE recent announcement that Au­burn's
own Dr. Raymond W. Ritland will
lecture weekly on comparative economic
systems this summer by medium of Edu­cational
Television, the State of Alabama
receives an opportunity to jolt itself from
a chronic apathy concerning political and
economic philosophies that challenge our
capitalism.
Filling these obvious intellectual voids
of Alabamians and offering clear and in­telligent
answers to any analagous ques­tions
will be the learned and voluble Dr.
Jutland's job before the cameras this sum­mer.
In his 13 programs, each of 30 min­utes,
Dr. Ritland will discuss economic in­stitutions
and how they are ever subject to
change, confront the problem of evaluat­ing
economic systems, discuss the successes
and shortcomings of the capitalistic order,
then delve into Marx's theories, theoreti­cal
socialism, British socialism, and the So­viet
economic system, which exemplifies •
total state control. As in his course here,
Comparative Economic Systems, Dr. Rit­land's
entire approach will be geared to
objective analysis.
This opportunity to enlighten has wide
bounds. Using the major networks' method,
Producer-Director Jack Venable of Auburn
Television estimates that the monthly au­dience
of Educational TV in Alabama is
375,000.
One of the more optimistic advocates of
this new lecture series is Dr. Charles P.
Anson, Head Professor of Economics and
Sociology. Says Anson, "With this method
of TEACHING economic systems rather
than PREACHING capitalism, much can be
accomplished. The need for understanding
of our own and opposing economic systems
is acute."
Popularity of our system is only prima
facie evidence that it is our best possible
choice. Let us dig deeply for the facts and
see WHY we call ourselves capitalists. En­lightenment
is strength.
OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS . .
FEATURED in this week's Plains­man
is an article written by J.
Paul Getty, richest man in the
United States. The intriguing
thing about this article is that it
is Written for Playboy, a maga­zine
that is unfit for us, you and
I, to read, according to some of
the residents of Auburn.
It seems that hidden among the
pages of sex stories and nasty
pictures (according to the. above
mentioned people) is an article
giving some good tips to aspiring
young executives and anyone else
who cares to read a well-written
and informative article.
Because a few people who have
nothing else to do except pry into
something they have no business
messing with we are denied the
chance to read articles such as
Mr. Getty's.
CHANNEL EFFORTS
If the people who worked so
hard to force Playboy from the
newsstands had channeled their
efforts in a more constructive
manner the results may have
been much more beneficial to all.
That some of the stories and
cartoo'ns in Playboy are a little
risque can perhaps be debated.
Perhaps the caliber of the
stories and jokes in Playboy
would not be so alarming to cer­tain
people if they were to look
at the question from both sides.
If these people were really so in­terested
in protecting their chil­dren
from the "evils of sex" they
would teach their children just
what it was all about instead of
forcing them to find out in the
streets and from other sources.
That, howover, would never be
because then these people would
have to mind their own business,
which is against their principles.
As long as there are people with
nothing better to do than to make
it a point to make everyone's life
as miserable as possible by do­ing
what they think is best for
them we will be forced to con­tend
with such interferences as
was experienced in the Playboy
issue.
TYPICAL BUSYBODY
I was told of one person's ex­perience
in a local drug store.
This person was in the drug store
when "the typical busybody," as
he described her, came in and
told the druggist that she was
there to inspect his magazine
rack.
She happened to find a copy of
Rogue on the stand which im­mediately
set her into an uproar.
After she had spouted off and de­manded
that the druggist remove
"that kind" of literature from his
racks she left in what have been
a very self-satisfied mood.

RED INFILTRATION . . .
Paper Says Another Communist Youth Movement Underway;
Campaign Designed lo Entice Unwary Progressive Students
ANOTHER COMMUNIST youth
movement is getting under way.
According to a story in the St.
Louis Globe Democrat early this
year, which was reprinted in the
March bulletin of the Interfrater-nity
Research a n d Advisory
Council, it is a full-scale youth
movement designed to establish
Marxist groups in 80 colleges by
Labor Day.
The campaign is designed to
entice unwary progressive and
liberal-minded students. It ha's
two aims: "To establish a Com­munist
Party youth front in lieu
of the ill-fated 'Labor Youth
League' and 'American Youth for
Democracy,' and to have on in­stant
call an organized student
group for tactics of incitation, dis­ruption
and agitation."
A preliminary organization
meeting for the movement was
held in Chicago during the last
Christmas vacation. Ten states
from California to New York
were represented by a total of
86 delegates.
The chief organizer of the
movement is Mortimer Daniel
Rubin, who has already toured
campuses all across the country
to get recruits. His tour included
several appearances in.the South,
at such schools as William and
Mary, Duke, and the University
of North Carolina.
Although official spokesmen at
the Chicago meeting denied any
connection with the Communist
Party, the Globe Democrat re­ports
to the contrary. Speeches
at the meeting included praise of
the USSR, calls for 'scientific soc­ialism'
(Communism), and at-

tacks on the House Un-American
Activities Committee and the FBI.
DENY RED LINKS
The coming agenda for the or­ganization:
Pamphlets in the
youth field to be prepared by
various groups for wide dissem­ination;
more campus visitations
by Rubin; a $10,000 'kitty' to be
raised for a greater 'new hori­zons
for youth,' and quarterly
organizational bulletins to keep
the membership informed.
Conference leaders defeated a
' delegate's suggestion . that the
new group should employ the
word 'socialism.' They described
as more acceptable a 'broad, left-wing
student, teenage and work­ing
youth organization.'
So, it appears that U.S. college
students, and possibly even Au­burn
students, may be in for at
least a minor deluge of Commun­ist
and fellow traveling propa­ganda
and other activity. This
should not signal the start of a
witch hunt, but it should be cause
for concern.
A WARNING
Very few college liberals, even
ultra-liberals, would knowingly
support or join a Communist or­ganization.
However, there is a
danger of becoming the unknow­ing
tool of Communism through
membership in a front organiza­tion,
which may superficially
have some really worthy goal
such as disarmament, world
peace, or human welfare, but is
really Red through and through.
All o r g a n i z a t i o n s such as
this should be examined with
great care and labeled for just
what they are. If thinking college
students are kept well informed
on the true nature of movements
such as this, the Communists will
probably find little market for
their wares.
MORE OR LESS???
Credit For Courses
Felt Questionable
By NOEL LEON
In looking over a schedule book
of courses offered at Auburn, there
seem to be a few items that glare
out as being either obvious dis­crepancies
or highly questionable.
And that is whether some of
the courses should have less hours
in class or more credit offered.
One of the more noticeable ones
is Engineering Graphics.
For six hours of toil (and that is
not counting the amount of time
the student consumes at home to
keep up with the work) two cred­its
are given.
Another is women's hygiene. Fe­male
students attend five hours of
classes in hygiene. Their reward
is one credit.
ROTC—the count'erpart of hy­giene—
is also a one-hour credit
course. Yet students taking mili­tary
are required to attend four
hours of classes a week.
The same story applies to sev­eral
home economics courses and
many of the labs that are offered.
A student that carries a load of
17 to 20 hours a quarter can us-
Opportunity Seldom Seen During Year
Appears With International Affairs Meet

PSYCOPETH . . .
'Typical Busybody' Enters Drugstore For Magazine Inspection;
Demands Removal Of 'Lewd' Literature-Leaves Self-Satisfied
BY CARL PETH
THE AUBURN student has this
weekend an opportunity he will
seldom come across during the
year. Our campus will be visited
by a number of outstanding men
in connection with the Auburn
Conference On International Af­fairs.
Men of the ability of these
gentlemen would be well worth
hearing even if they came to
speak about green peanuts or as-bestus
seat covers. But since they
have come to impart to the con­ference
delegates and other in­terested
individuals bits of know­ledge
about international affairs
and more specifically the Carib­bean
area, they will more than
likely be confronted by a dedi­cated
group of die-hards and a
multitude of empty seats.
It would seem rather simple
to say that good old Joe Auburn
doesn't know what he will be
missing but judging by past at­tendance
on similar occasions it
would be quite true to state this.
To greet these speakers with lim­ited
attendance would be an in­justice
to both the men and the
Auburn student. Whether or not
the individual personally consid­ers
the topics interesting or de­serving
of the little effort it
would take to attend one of the
addresses he would be omitting
an irreplaceable segment of his
education by bypassing this op­portunity.
It is our belief that in
our student body there are a
great number of students who
would enjoy hearing one or more
of these gentlemen but who are
"frightened" away by the speech
topics.
It will not suffice to say that
"you'd better be there because
you're going to miss something"
or "you'll be sorry you missed
it." It would be better done if
we merely suggest or better yet
challenge you to attend one of
the general sessions out of cur­iosity.
The importance of international
affairs can hardly be over-em­phasized.
Students who have been
keeping one eye on Laos and the
other on Cuba know and are in­volved
more deeply in the inter­national
situation than they real­ize.
It hits close to home more to
the males :(1-A type) than the
girls, when somebody in the high
places mumbles words that can
easily be translated as "war." The
prospect of war either immed­iately
or in the not-too-distant
future generates an interest which
while not precisely scholarly in
origin, by necessity entails a more
than passing concern with the
events of the day. We feel that it
is this general background which
will enable the student to listen
to the speakers with some mea­sure
of intelligence and benefit
therefrom.
It is very timely that the past
conference and the one schedul­ed
to begin tomorrow dealt and
will deal with the two areas
which are causing the most con­cern
today—Southeast Asia and
the Caribbean. We feel certain
that those who were able to at­tend
either round table discus­sions
or any of the addresses this
past year better understand the
crisis in Laos as a result of hav­ing
had this insight into Asiatic
thought. Doubtless the same will
hold true after the present con­ference.
The ACOIA is something
more than an information service.
It provides an opportunity for
the student to formulate and de­velop
some of those ideas he has
carried along, to stimulate him­self
to new action in the same
vein, to dispel mistaken notions
and to provide a working basis
for reference from now on.
Our ties with the Caribbean are
made vitally important because
of the close geographic proxi­mity.
A budding communist na­tion
just 90 miles off our south­ern
coast is no laughing matter.
Nor is Communist infiltration in
other Central and South Ameri­can
countries to be taken lightly.
These are or will soon be of the
utmost importance to the student
as an American and as a free citi­zen.
It could even be said that it
is his duty to be informed. The
interest should be there and the
men who know what they're talk­ing
about surely will be present.
So why not the Auburn student?
LETTER TO THE EDITOR . . .
Magazine Removal Causes Comments;
Rights Are Not Curtailed If Others Hurt
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the past few weeks, there
has been considerable comment
on the removal of certain maga­zines
from the newsstands. I do
not believe that our rights are
curtailed by the restriction of
certain literature when the rights
of others are being infringed.
Certainly, complete freedom to
do as one pleases would result in
chaos. I propose however, that
there is something lacking in the
method of the selectivity of re­striction.
I will admit that the line be­tween
lewd a n d acceptable is
very hard to draw. Each of us
have different convictions as to
where this line should fall. It has
been reported that the Grand
Jury had a very good time decid­ing
which magazines were to be
removed. I seriously question
their reasoning. If the criteria
was nudity many more magazines
should be removed. If the criteria
was the more suggestable near-nudity,
then I propose there
should be hardly any magazines
or newspapers left on the stands.
Mail order catalogs should also
be disbanded. Many fashionable
ladies' magazines have much
more "juicy" stories than most
of the magazines that were re­moved.
The possibility would appear
from the above that the decisions
were made prejudically to obtain
a false face of respectability. The
danger of the loss of our free­dom
doesn't extend from restric­tion
or regulation, but rather
form improper criteria and poor
regulatory bodies. I believe that
the unelected, temporary, small
group of men called the Grand
Jury is a poor organization to
select what store owners may sell
and what we have the right to
read.
Is the infirmary scapegoating
really "gobbledegook?" I shall re­late
a single infirmary experience
of mine that is typical of my
visits to the outstanding clinic of
medicine. First a nurse conver­sed
with me in a very loud and
discourteous voice. Then a doc­tor
said the cause of an ulcer the
size of a half dollar on the roof'
of my mouth was the result of
watching TV too much. Then he
said there was nothing wrong
with me. Then he wrote me a
prescription. Am I to garner from
this a sense of trust in the pro­fessional
competency of our Uni­versity's
medical staff?
Let's not cover up our faults by
scapegoating scapegoating.
Charles R. Wilson
ually expect to be busy for the
three-month period and he can,
perhaps, take part in some extra-curricula
activity.
But when two or three of the
courses which he takes consume
more hours than they rightly de­serve,
his hands will be full, he
might not be able to partake in
any outside activities and his
grades are apt to drop.
Perhaps those responsible for
setting up schedules and course
syllabi should take into conside­ration
the time that the students
can put into the subject and re­evaluate
the courses.
If the hours that have to be ap­plied
cannot be reduced, more
credit should be offered for that
course.
It is only fair.

'Fiji' Colony Established On Plains,
Second State Chapter For Phi Gams
Phi Gamma Delta national so­cial
fraternity has established a
colony at Auburn. Known as the
Delta Colony, the group was or­ganized
at Auburn at the request
of the Inter-Fraternity Council
and the School administration.
The "Fijis," as they are usually
known, have over 600 alumni in
the state of Alabama. There are
chartered alumni chapters in Bir­mingham,
Montgomery, Mobile,
Tuscaloosa, Florence and Atlanta.
* * *
THE ONLY other Phi Gamma
Delta undergraduate chapter in
the state is at the University of
Alabama. It was founded in 1856.
Delta Colony now has 21 mem­bers
and is growing rapidly. The
Fijis are the third national fra­ternity
to colonize at Auburn in
the last two years, and takes its
place with 22 established chapters
and the two other colonies, Delta
Upsilon and Beta Theta Pi.
NATIONALLY, Phi Gamma
Delta was founded at Jefferson
College in Cannonsburg, Pa., in
1848. It now has, 83 college chap­ters
and 115 graduate chapters.
Nationally famous Phi Gamma
Deltas include former President
Calvin Coolidge, Secretary of De­fense
Robert McNamara, scientist
Charles P. Steinmetz, historian
Douglas Southall Freeman, Olym­pic
Decathlon Champion Bob Ma-thias,
and many others in litera­ture,
music, education, and busi­ness.
In Alabama, noted Fijis are J.
Edward Livingston, Chief Justice
of the Alabama Supreme Court;
Dr. James H. Newman, Executive
Vice-President of the University
of Alabama; Dr. John Gallalee,
former President of the University
of Alabama, and Charles D. Meri-weather,
recently appointed by
President Kennedy as Director of
the Export-Import Bank.
Dr. William R. Hauser of. Au­burn's

WORLD'S RICHEST MAN TELLS OF EARLY MISTAKES;
YOUNG BUSINESSMEN GIVEN SUCCESS LESSONS
Three lessons for business exe­cutives
are given by the world's

issue of Playboy magazine. J.
Paul Getty, seven-fold billionaire,
recounting his own mistakes, of
earlier years, says they are: (1)
inability to distinguish between
what is fact and what is opinion;
(2) being frightened by signs of
slowdowns or setbacks after a

Special Student
Program Begun
A special summer training pro­gram
for selected foreign students
who have been admitted to grad­uate
study in economics or agri­cultural
economics at U. S. uni­versities
and colleges was an­nounced
recently by the Institute
of International Education.
Sponsored by The American
Economic Association, this fourth
session of the Economics Institute
will be held at the University of
Colorado in Boulder, from June
30 to August 30, 1961.
The Economics Institute pro­vides
an intensive review of mic­ro-
economic and macro-economic
theory, concentrated training and
practice in oral and written Eng­lish,
and supplementary training
in mathematics. A general intro­duction
to the United States eco­nomy
and society is also offered.
Interested foreign students who
are about to begin graduate stu­dies
in economics in the U. S. may
apply for admission to the In­stitute
by writing for application
blanks to the Chairman of the
Department of Economics at the
University where his graduate
studies are to be undertaken next

made by today's young business­men,
and, for that matter, by
American business firms and A-merican
business as a whole,"
Getty scores mid-Twentieth Cen­tury
corporations' fondness for
administrative overhead. "The
modern business mania is to build
great and ever greater paper-specialized
executives, reinforce
them with regiments of office-working
drones, give them all
grandiloquent titles — and then
mire them down in bottomless
quagmires of forms, reports, me­moranda,
'studies' and 'surveys.'
"Thus,", he says, "it is hardly
surprising that so many young
men start their business careers
with the idea that 'administra­tion
is not only the tail that
wags the whole business dog, but
that it is,.in itself, the whole ani­mal.
These young men will spend
half their time trying to find out
what they're doing through stu­dies
and surveys, then spend the
other half informing each other
about what—if-anything—they've
leaftied through the media of
committee meetings and inter­office
memoranda."
While businessmen should del­egate
authority, they should not
relegate it, Getty says. "I suppose
it's natural for an executive or a
man who owns a business to feel
that he should take things as
easily as possible. That's human
nature—but it's hardly good busi­ness.
"A businessman should dele­gate
authority—he must, in fact,
for no orie man can be every­where
and do everything. But he
must also remember that the final
responsibility is his—and thus, he
should always retain final auth­ority,"
he adds.
Finally, Getty scores U.S. busi­nessmen's
"growing habit of
p a m p e r i n g themselves—com­plaining
that they're overworked
and constantly laboring under
terrific strain and tension. They
flaunt their real or imagined ail­ments—
particularly their ulcers—
as badges of honor. They spend
huge amounts of time and money
on medical checkups, cardio­grams,
X-rays, and tests and ex­aminations
of every conceivable
kind. Nothing could be more non­sensical
. . . The truly great giants
and geniuses of American busi­ness
habitually worked 16 and
18-hour days—often seven days a
week—and seldom took vacations.
As a result most of them lived to
a ripe old age."

FROM THE
BENCH
BY BUDDY DAVIDSON
Some games you win, some you lose, and some get rained out.
This statement sums up Auburn's situation at the end of last
year's baseball season. Going into the final two game series with
Florida, the Tigers were strong contenders for the Eastern Division
championship. They needed to sweep the Florida series to earn
th right to meet Ole Miss for the SEC title.
Timely base hits by the Plainsmen, plus the clutch pitching of
big right hander Alan Koch gave Auburn a victory in the first
game. However, Auburn's hopes vanished as the Gators rallied to
win the second game, and for two years in a row the Tigers fin­ished
second.
What does rain have to do with it?
The first game of the Vanderbilt series was called at the end
of four innings because of rain, with the Tigers leading 4-1. A
double-header was scheduled for the next day but had to be can­celled
due to wet grounds.
. It seemed insignificant at the time but as it turned out the
Plainsmen were only three outs away from the division title on
opening day. Incidentally, Vanderbilt turned out to be the league's
doormat and finished in the cellar.
Off To A Good Start
Now it is another spring and another race and this time the
Tigers are leading the pack instead of trying to catch up. Auburn
swept a double-header from Tech in Atlanta last weekend and are
now perched atop the roost with a 3-1 record. How long they stay
there will be answered in a hurry.
Beginning this afternoon at Plainsman Park, the Tigers will
open a four-game conference series with Tennessee and Kentucky.
Needless to say, they must do better than split this series to stay
in the Eastern Division lead,
Gilbert Returns
Porter Gilbert, Auburn's No. 1 reliever two years ago, may
be in the bull pen for the first time this season. Gilbert sprained
his ankle in the last home basketball game and is just now getting
back into running shape.
He has been working out spring holidays and appears ready
for duty.
Busy Weekend On Plain
In addition to the four baseball games being played here this
weekend, there will be sports action for every spectator interest.
The golf team wil play Alabama anjd-^U at Saugahatchee Country
Club Friday. The tennis team enteMaiiis . Vanderbilt. The soccer
team plays Redstone Arsenal. Then^Jhere is always spring football
practice which will be going on in Cliff Hare Saturday afternoon.

strange smile on his face. Suspicion as to what put it
there points to a mystery girl who was seen, clad only in
a towell, racing out of his Palm Beach Hotel suite at three

topple the teetering company, the girl must be found and
her silence bought.

SPRING TRAINING BRINGS OUT
IMPROVED AUBURN OFFENSE
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Assistant Sports Editor
Usually not considered as one
of the higher scoring teams in
football circles, the Auburn Tig­ers
displayed a touchdown pro­ducing
offense in the first big
scrimmage of spring practice last
Saturday in Cliff Hare Stadium.
One of the really bright spots
of the scrimmage came in the
form of Jimmy Bonner, a con­verted
fullback. The 205-pound
junior from East Point, Ga.,
showed that he could block well
and use his tremendous speed to
shake off defenders and make
tough catches with the best of
them.
Joe Overton, j u n i o r from
Greenville,. Miss., and Mailon
Kent from Lanett are letting it
be known that they want the
starting quarterback position and
that senior Bobby Hunt is going
to have a fight on his hands.
Reggie Allen, sophomore from
Birmingham, and Sam Mitchell of
Florence indicated that they are
after Co-Captain Don Machen's
right halfback slot. Both men
showed well in the scrimmage
with Mitchell scoring one touch­down
on a 30 yard pass play.
Larry Rawson, sophomore full­back
from Pensacola, Fla., seem­ed
to pick up where he left off
on last year's freshman team as
he hit the line for several siz­able
gains. Rawson, along with
John McGeever and Larry Laster
have the task of trying to fill the
shoes of Ed Dyas, lost by grad­uation.
Highlights of the scrimmage:
Joe Overton, primarily a passer,
led the brunt of the second team's
scoring attack as he ran for two
touchdowns and passed for an­other.
For the first team, Bobby Hunt,
looking like the player that was
voted Sophomore of the Year in
1959, passed 22 yards to Bobby
Foret for one touchdown and ran
for another in leading the offen­sive
efforts of the first team.
Jimmy Burson scored the other
TD from seven yards out.
But the scrimmage was not all
offense. Wayne Frazier, Burson,
Dave Edwards, and Hunt shone
on defense.
Several boys up from the fresh­man
team have looked good, thus
far and are fighting for first and
second team positions. Most not­able,
along with Rawson and Al­len,
are guard Davis Brock from
Montgomery and speedy halfback
George Rose from Brunswick, Ga.
Brock is currently on the third
team and Rose is running with
the second.
Coach Jordan plans another
big scrimmage at Cliff Hare Sta­dium
next Saturday. Weather
permitting, practice is expected
to speed up with the climax com­ing
April 29 with the annual A-Day
game.
The teams lined up this way:
First team—
Ends—Edwards and Foret
Tackles—Wilson and Wood­ward
Guards—Putman and Gu) ledge
Center—Frazier
Halfbacks—Machen and Burson
Fullback—McGeever
Second team—
Ends—Bonner and Downs
Tackles—Giddens and Jones

Halfbacks—Rose and Mitchell

TIGERS MEET VOLS HERE TODAY,
TACKLE CATS THIS WEEK END
BY DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The high flying Auburn Tigers,
after sweeping a double header
from Joe Pittard's Yellow Jackets
in Atlanta, open a four game
home stand at Plainsman Park
with the opener on tap for 2 o'­clock
this afternoon. The Tigers,
presently one of the best hitting
teams in the SEC, face the Ten­nessee
Volunteers in s i n g le
games today and tomorrow and
then meet the Kentucky Wildcats
Friday and Saturday.
Little is known of the Vols who
have yet to be tested in confer­ence
play, however they do have
the potential for a strong ball
club t h i s year. Inexpierence
seems to be the biggest problem
and as a result, several sopho­mores
have broken into the start­ing
lineup.
* * *
THE WILDCATS, successful in
their first three outings, open
conference play today at Gaines­ville
with the Florida Gators and
then jump from the frying pan
into the fire as they challenge
the division leading Tigers. Ken­tucky
will be seeking to pick up
its first baseball victory over an
Auburn team. A pair of Tiger
wins last year brought their re­cord
over UK to eight straight in
Billy Kinard Named Assistant Backfield Coach
a series dating back to 1956.
Three of A d o 1 p h Rupp's
bounceball artists will see action
with Coach Harry Lancaster's
baseballers this season. Allen
Feldhaus (.400), Dickie 'Parsons
(.273), and Larry Pursiful (.400)
have paved the way for the Wild­cat's
first three victories.
* * *
THE TIGER diamondmen, by
virtue of their win over Tech
coupled with Florida and Geor­gia's
split of a two game series,
moved into first place in the East­ern
Division of the SEC. Auburn
has a 3-1 record in conference
play while surprising Georgia is
in second place with a 4-2 league
slate.
After the four game series at
home the Tigers will journey to
Birmingham Tuesday for a single
game, a non-conference encounter
with the Howard Bulldogs. Re­venge
will be uppermost in the
Tiger's minds, as they lost the
season opener to an underdog
Bulldog nine.
Billy Kinard, a four year let-terman
at Mississippi and a three
year veteran of professional foot­ball,
has been hired as Auburn's
new assistant backfield coach.
Kinard replaces Vince Dooley,
who took over the duties as head
freshman coach.
Earlier this spring J. D. Roberts
was lured away from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis to take
over as offensive line coach. The
hiring of Roberts and Kinard fill
the vacancies created by the re­assignment
of coaches Joel Eaves
and Shot Senn.
Kinard, one of five brothers to
play for Ole Miss, was a first
team halfback for J o h n n y
Vaught's Rebels for four years as
well as an all-SEC baseball play­er,
'-'r-
After graduating from Ole
Miss, Kinard played two years of
pro football before he tried his
hand at coaching. He was a de­fensive
halfback for the Cleve­land
Browns his rookie year.
The following season he played
the same position for the Green
Bay Packers. He entered the
coaching ranks in 1959 as head
football coach at Mainland High
School in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Kinard returned to pro football
last year with the Buffalo Bills
of the AFL. He is presently teach­ing
school in Florida and will as­sume
his duties here at the Plain
sometimes this week.
On his visit to the school last
week Kinard watched a day of
spring practice, talked with coach
Jordan and decided to join the
Tiger staff.
However, his last previous trip
wasn't quite as pleasant. On that
occasion Auburn defeated Ole
Miss 13-0.

What's it take to make the right connection?
i Plenty! Consider the problem. Western Elec-
\ trie manufactures the switching systems which
. connect some 60-million Bell telephones
throughout the U. S. The average call over
today's electromechanical system requires 420
relay operations. All together, this intercon­necting
equipment makes up the heart of what
is, in effect, the world's Jargest machine.
That's where Western Electric and you
come in. The switching equipment for this
"machine" involves an enormous manufactur­ing
job carried on by our plants throughout
the country. Because of the size and service
requirements involved, we require quality
standards far exceeding those of ordinary
manufacturing. The size of this job presents
an unusual challenge to the engineer who may
save the Bell System many thousands of dollars
by even a small cost-reduction step.
While today's switching calls for a priority
on engineering, tomorrow's will be even more
exciting. For even now the revolutionary Elec­tronic
Central Office is under field trial and
promises to remake the world of telephony.
Future Western Electric engineers, working
closely with their counterparts at Bell Tele­phone
Laboratories, will concentrate heavily
on developing manufacturing methods for this
ECO equipment.
Your Western Electric assignments may
cover many of our other responsibilities as
the world's leading communications manu­facturer.
Perhaps you'll work on advances in
microwave transmission, or even on satellite
communications.
Joining Western Electric may well be your
right connection.
Opportunities exist for electrical, mechanical, indus­trial,
civil and chemical engineers, as well as physical
science, liberal arts, and business majors. For more
information, get your copy of "Western Electric and
Your Career" from your Placement Officer. Or write
College Relations, Room 6106, Western Electric Com­pany,

to arrange for a Western Electric interview when th*
Bell System recruiting team visits your campus.

pending the outcome of the Ken­tucky
match last Tuesday, into
the three-way meet.
Coach Dragoin has stated that
he and his team would like noth­ing
better than victories over
powerhouse Alabama and FSU.
Florida State dealt Auburn a
20y2-6V2 defeat in Tallahassee on
March 21. Alabama, coached by
"confident" Dick Pride, will bring
a strong six man team into Au­burn.
Bama golfers Bill Ferris,
Phil Rischer, and Robert Maness
all have won many golf crowns,
but Dragoin stated that past titles
would not scare his team. "My
boys have been playing rather
well and I know that they'll be
giving it all they've got tomor­row,"
Dragoin said. FSU, led by
stars Downing Gray, Dick Dun-lop,
and Frank Malara, has been
Auburn's number one golf rival
for many years. So naturally, a
double victory tomorrow would
be "sweeter than honey" to the
Tiger linksmen.

LAST SATURDAY G e o r g ia
Tech edged the Plainsman golfers

A cold, driving wind made the

Hill Boswell, playing the num­ber
four position for Auburn, was
the only man to equal par. Bos­well
turned in a fine 72 for a 2-1
victory over "Lefty" Euwing,
Tech's captain. Auburn's Morris
Slingluff, playing the first posi­tion,
shot a 73 and was.high point
man for the Tigers with his 2V2-
% victory over Tech's Dallas
Copeland. Auburn's two and three
men, Henry Wheaton and Paul
Burkholder, carded a 75 and a 76
respectively. Auburn's first four
men tied Tech's first four 9-9, but
the difference of the exciting
match was in the five and six
men. Auburn's Wally Nail and
Richard Maroney lost ^Vz-IVz to
Tech and the Tigers' brave upset
had had fallen short. Bill Ploeger
was low for Tech with a 73
against Auburn's Wheaton.
Auburn meets Tech again in
Atlanta on April 26.

AUBURN'S talented freshman
team whacked Tech's frosh 15-3.
Hank Johnson was low for Au­burn
witrr a 73, while Auburn's
"Dynamite" Dave Outland had a
75. The Auburn frosh have now
won two and lost one. Their other
victory was over FSU with their
lone defeat being suffered at the
hands of the Florida Gator frosh.

Auburn Thinclads Invade Athens For Duel Meet
Tiger Baseball Team Trips Tech Twice;
Came From Behind To Win 7-6,12-10
BY DAVE WALL
Plainsman Sports Writer
The ; Auburn baseball Tigers
came from behind twice to take
a double header from the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets in Atlanta
last Saturday afternoon.
In t h e abbreviated , opening
game, Tech was only one putout
away from a 5-3 victory in the
seventh inning when the Tigers
pushed across four big runs to
take the lead. They accomplished
this with the aid of an error, a
walk, another error, a single by
Jack Bludworth, two more walks,
and a' passed ball.
Tech rebounded with one run-in
their half of the seventh on
two bases on balls and a single
by John Gher, but the try fell

This list includes Lee De-i

were signed when the grant-in-

The second game was a wild

Trailing 3-0 in the fourth inn­ing,
Auburn tallied four times on
one-baggers by Jim Hudson, Vic

and a walk.
A big seventh inning was the
scene of a monstrous six-run
Tiger uprising in which a walk

John Gher of Tech finally

Auburn will journey to Athens, Ga. Saturday to open the
dual track meet season, but when the Plainsmen invade the
Classic City they will be without the services of one of their
strongest warriors. Corky Frost, Auburn's stellar hurdler
and broad jumper, pulled a muscle while running the low
hurdles in time trials Saturday
and will not be able to partici­pate
in the meet.
So far this season, the Tigers
have placed second in the Coli­seum
Relays and second in the
Florida Relays also. With the aid
of footballers Gary Ray and Ken
Winter, who were excused from
spring football practice, Auburn
should be able to pick up extra
points in the sprints.

with a time of 4:22.8. His best
time is a 4:17,6 set in the con­ference

Intramurals Editor
Softball, golf, tennis, a nd
horseshoe teams have a full slate
of activity on tap this week. Soft­ball
teams began competition last
week, with golf, tennis, and
horseshoe teams to begin their
league battles this week. PKT,
leading contender for the All-
Sports trophy started Spring off
on a winning note by stomping
SAE 12-2. PKT pitcher McKinley
led his team by striking out nine
SAE's and hitting a home run and
two singles. Goodwin also had
two first baggers for PKT. Rut­land
led SAE with one single in
three attempts.
PKA took an early lead in their
league standings by beating LCA
8-3. Grabensteder, Spratlin, and
Huey each contributed a triple to
lead the PKA scoring punch.
Tuggle, Covington, and Bianchi
led DSP to a 14-9 win over DC
by pounding out two hits each.
Morris collected two singles for
DC.
In a game that sounds more
like football than Softball TC
squeaked out a close one over
TKE by the score of 25-23. Allen,
Baker and Bach pounded out
three hits each for TC. No one
collected more than one hit for
TKE, but TC pitchers issued 14
walks to constantly have TC in a
jam. In the only close, lowscoring
game of the day, DTD had a big
fourth inning and scored all of
their five runs to beat KS 5-4.
Volland was the winning pitcher
for DTD.

Dependability—Douglas' Big Asset
F I S H I N G TIPS
From Outdoor Lije
Live bait one of your prob­lems?
Place some punctured beer
cans in shallow water. It won't
be long before soft-shelled cray­fish
in the area are calling the
cans home-sweet-home. Retrieve
the cans and you've enough bait
to see you through a day's fish­ing.
Or, if you'd rather use worms
here's a w a y to pick up 200 lively
ones—but fast. Mash up the hulls
of 20 biack walnuts in three gal­lons
of water. Splash the magic
liquid over a two-foot-square
area. Get ready! In 15 seconds
here come the worms. Just pick
'em up.
If you're the kind of fisher­man
Who enjoys eating his catch
while still afield, here's a little
trick worth tucking away for fu­ture
use. An ordinary bottle cap
nailed to a piece of wood makes
an emergency fish scaler. It
works so well you may even want
to make one for home.
Some people eat carp. Some
don't. If you're a member of the
latter group perhaps your objec­tion
is the slight muddy taste
sometimes attributed to this fish.
Here's the solution. Remove the
back bone before cooking. This
can easily be done with a pair of
pliers.
If you expect that some day
you may fall out of your boat

both of Cairo, won't be competing
against each other except for high
point honors.
Carr is rated by coach Spec
Towns as, "the most talented and
versatile Georgia track man since
the late Graham Batchelor who
almost made the Olympic team in
1932."
Carr won the broad jump in
the conference meet last year
with a leap of 23'-6%". He has
already bettered that mark in an
indoor meet this spring.
However, his specialty is the
pole vault. He holds the Georgia
school record with a vault of 13-
6. Towns also plans to use Carr
in the 100-yard dash and 440-
yard relay in addition to the high
jump, pole vault, and broad jump.
while fishing, read on. Wrap your
wallet in a plastic bag before
venturing forth. Thus, y o ur
money and papers will be safe
and dry for your future needs—
if you can swim, that is.
The trouble with bait is that
little fish like it as well as lunk-ers.
Here's a way to sneak it
by the small fry before they have
a chance to steal it. When using
a mayfly larvae or similar bait,
you can get it to deep water fast
by hanging a fence staple on the
hook. This protects the bait and
a slight jerk will dislodge it when
you're down where the big ones
hang out.
BY BOX NIXON
Plainsman Sports Writer
For every spectacular perform­er
in any sport—the flashy, triple-threat
gridiron hero; the longshot
artist in basketball; the "big
stick" of the baseball diamond—
there are scores of athletes whose
outstanding quality is their de­pendability;
their good, steady
performance; their ability to get
the job done in game after game.
Such an athlete is James Boyd
Douglas of Theodore, Ala., all-
SEC second-baseman and captain
of Auburn's baseball team.
Born 21 years ago at Cordova,
Ala., Jim now stands 5'9" tall, and
weighs in at a wiry 160 pounds.
A science major in the School of
Education, he plans to graduate
this quarter.
Jim comes by his athletic abil­ity
naturally. His dad has been a
high school coach for some 30
years, and is presently coaching
at Theodore High School, Jim's
Alma Mater.
While at Theodore, Jim played
football, baseball, and basketball,
excelling in the latter. He made
all-county in all three sports for
four years, and was all-District
for three years in basketball.
As a guard on the basketball
squad, he won the district's Most
Valuable Player award in his sen­ior
year, and went on to play on
the AU-Star team at Tuscaloosa
that year.
An interesting sidelight to this
is that Jim's father was named
coach of the same All-Star team
that year.
Jim's team lost that game, and
it is interesting to note that, ac­cording
to Jim.the player most
responsible for their defeat was
an opponent who walked off with
the Most Valuable Player honors
for the day—one Porter Gilbert,
now a star eager at Auburn. Por­ter
was a baseball teammate of
Jim's when both were in their
sophomore year here at the Plain.
In his freshman year at Au­burn,
Jim played both basket­ball
and baseball, but has con­centrated
on the latter since mak­ing
the varsity as a sophomore.
Coach Erskine Russell, Auburn
baseball coach, considers Jim the
best second-baseman in the lea­gue.
Russell believes that Jim, as
the mainstay of the Tiger team,
is a very valuable player indeed.
Offensively, Jim hit just under
.300 as a sophomore, and aver­aged
.347 in his junior year. He
is batting .389 thus far this sea­son.

Olin L. Hill
The Man With The Tape'
LEAD-OFF MAN JIM DOUGLAS
All-Conference Selection In 1960
On defense, he is probably Au­burn's
most dependable player,
from the standpoint of percent­age
of errors. A very alert player
who thinks each situation through
ahead of time, Jim possesses a
very accurate arm, in addition to
being a sure fielder. A good team
man, with lots of hustle, he can
be depended on in the clutch.
What about the future? Jim
plans to follow in his father's
footsteps, coaching and teaching
in high school. Unless, of course,
a good pro-ball offer conies along.
And well it might, as Russell
points out. While Jim doesn't of­ten
make the spectacular, crowd-pleasing
play, he is a reliable,
thinking ball-player, who is a l ­ways
"just good enough to beat
you."

(Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf "The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.)
I WAS A TEEN-AGE SLIDE RULE
In a recent learned journal (Mad) the distinguished board
chairman (Kalph "Hot-Lips" Sigafoos) of one of our most
important American corporations (the Arf Mechanical Dog Co.)
wrote a trenchant article in which he pinpointed our gravest
national problem: the'lack of culture among science graduates.
Mr. Sigafoos's article, it must be emphasized, was in no sense
derogatory. He stated quite clearly that the science student,
what with his gruelling curriculum in physics, math, and chem­istry,
can hardly be expected to find time to study the arts
too. What Mr. Sigafoos deplores—indeed, what we all deplore
—is the lopsided result of today's science courses: graduates
who can build a bridge but can't compose a concerto, who know
Planck's Constant but not Botticelli's Venus, who are familiar
with Fraunhofer's lines but not with Schiller's.
Mr. Sigafoos can find no solution to this hideous imbalance.
I, however, believe there is one—and a very simple one. It is
this: if students of science don't have time to come to the arts,
then we must let the arts come to students of science.
ty WB# 'ti*th&j$@et/fai&
For example, it would be a very easy thing to teach poetry
and music right along with physics. Students, instead of merely
being called upon to recite in physics class, would instead be
required to rhyme their answers and set them to familiar tunes
—like, for instance, The Colonel Bogey March. Thus recitations
would not only be chock-full of important facts but would, at
the same time, expose the student to the aesthetic delights of
great music. Here, try it yourself. You; all know The Colonel
Bogey March. Come, sing along with me:
Physics \
Is what we learn in class, j
Einstein
Said energy is mass. •
Newton
Is highfalvtin
And Pascal's a rascal. So's Boyle.
Do you see how much more broadening, how much more
uplifting to learn physics this way? Of course you do. What?
You want another chorus? By all means:
Leyden
He made the Leyden jar.
Trolley
He made the Trolley car.
Curie
Rode in a surrey,
And Diesel's a weasel. So's Boyle.
Once the student has mastered The Colonel Bogey March, he
can go on to more complicated melodies like Death and Trans­figuration,
the Eroica, and Love Mc Tender.
And when the student, loaded with science and culture,
leaves the classroom and lights his Marlboro, how much more
he will enjoy that filter
