Education school receives
special $90,000 grant
An additional grant of $90,000 has been made by t h e Fund
for t h e Advancement of Education to t h e API School of Edu­cation.
The grant will help provide t h e budget for t h e school's
1959-60 cooperative program for instructional development.
The F u n d made a g r a n t of $50,000 to t h e program's budget last
year.
When the program began two
years ago its aim was to aid hew
county superintendents before
and after they assumed their dut­ies.
Three county systems have
been added to the original 15 co­operating.
Latest to join the group
.'with their superintendents are:
i Crenshaw, Clem Carpenter; Cull-
^man, Earl York, and Butler, H.
' L . Terrell.

Another visit ofj the Red Cross
. bloodmobile will be made to Au-
•burn on July 16. It will be sta-
I tioned at the Baptist Church from
• 10 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m.
"to. 5 p.m. Another unit will be
operated at the Opelika Mill Com­munity
Center during the same
hours.
William D. Poore, Lee County
Bed Cross blood chairman, made
the announcement.

with Mr. Poore are Allen Schertz,
Auburn; Clyde Vaughan, Auburn,

campus study at A u b u r n . At
other times they work through
graduate field centers in their
own counties. Currently 190 from
18 counties are at Auburn this
summer. That is an increase of
115 over the 75 taking part last
year.
Two workshops are in progress
for the program. One is for prin­cipals
and superintendents who
ftre studying administrative lead­ership.
The other is for teachers
and administrators who will have
guidance responsibilities in their
schools next year. The guidance
workshop is using materials sup­plied
through the National De­fense
Education Act.
Overall coordinator for the
summer work is Dr. Robert
Saunders. Dean Truman Pierce
is working with the administra­tive
group, while Dr. Wilbur
Tincher and Dr. Mike Nunnery,
a new appointee, are working
with the guidance group.
In addition a group of 10 stu­dents,
seeking the doctoral de­gree,
is working with the pro­gram
as in the past. Nine of the
students, however, are just en­tering
the research portion of the
program.
In the two years of the pro­gram's
existence superintendents
have reported a definite improve­ment
in instruction in their coun­ty
systems. -~-

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
EDI TO RIALS
The Way To Oblivion
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 originial 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 can not 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, for the conformists.
They cannot keep pace with scientific advancements and
Cultural changes. Even less are they equipped to devise
new ways to relate 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 international annihilation will be the price we pay.
Already there's talk in the Legislature of lowering the
proposed hike in school budgets from $42 million to $25
million. \ * i _ * .
And Then There Were None
We might have chosen to print the National Safety
Council's estimate of the number who will die in traffic
accidents during the 4th of July weekend. Or we might
have written an editorial espousing the cause of safety.
But words about safety, no matter how graphic and com­pelling
they may be to their author, never seem to accom­plish
anything. And so, instead of these possibilities, we
ask you to look at the picture above . . . and to remember
it as you drive this weekend.
Ave Et Atque
Today, some new names appear among those of the
Auburn faculty. Again in September new names will be
added to the faculty roster. In welcoming the new teach­ers,
we wish to remind them of the old, familiar names
that are missing.
Auburn has not been able to pay salaries comparable
to those of other land grant institutions or major univer­sities.
So we remember with much pride—and a great deal
more gratitude—those very capable people who spurn
higher-salaried jobs to remain at Auburn. They remain
out of devotion; their performance is more than satisfac­tory;
now, some of them are gone.
However, the contributions of those who have retired
remain. The most significant is not the imprint of their
teaching upon the minds of a generation of students, but
rather, the standards set for their successors. We hope that
each of the new members of the faculty will prove worthy
of being judged by his predecessor. ,
The Auburn Professor
BY JERRY HUIE
The question for this week is
an outgrowth of a column which
was published in The Plainsman
during the Spring Quarter con­sisting
of interviews in which
several professors on the campus
discussed the Auburn student. We
just reversed this question and
asked the students to give opin­ions
of the Auburn professor. The
answers were interesting: criti­cisms
offered were far outweigh­ed
by the opinion that Auburn
professors as a whole are, after
all, pretty good guys.
Most of. the' people questioned
had very definite ideas about
what they wanted in a professor
and most seemed to agree that the
professors here fulfilled these
qualfications to a great extent.
The answers here are offered
more as evaluations than as criti­cisms.
Sam Rush, a senior in business
administration from Mobile: My
main complaint isn't against the
instructors. I feel that we do have
an unfortunate situation here in
that, because of the lack of funds,
far too many people just out of
colleges themselves are hired to
teach senior level courses. These
persons, while having the poten­tial
to become good teachers, still
have a student's approach to the
courses they teach. With what
Auburn has to offer an instructor
I believe we're very lucky to have
the Ph.D.'s we do. Auburn does
have some very good instructors.
Lynda Stewart, a senior in tex­tile
management from LaFayette:
I'm satisfied with most of the pro­fessors
I've had here. I guess I
have a few complaints. I'd like to
get out early on these hot days.
The type of professor I don't like
is the one who doesn't realize that
his course isn't the o n l y one a
student has. On the whole I think
Auburn has pretty good instruc­tors;
they're pretty interesting lec­turers
and very fair with the stu­dents.
John Vaughan, a pre-engineer-ing
student from Florala: The Au­burn
professors I've had were
pretty good instructors as a whole.
Auburn is a big school and the
classes are large. This tends to
make the student just a face in
BUG" DRIVERS...
An Invitation To Live
BY JIM PHILLIPS
'' Foreign economy-styled cars, a
hot item on the U. S. market to­day,
appear great buys. Initial
cost is often half the price tag of
most American-built automobiles.
Maintenance follows the same
general pattern.
But the blood of these thrifty
drivers has flowed like a water­fall
here during the past four­teen
months. Of three fatal wrecks
in this area since April, 1958, two
have included Volkswagen sedans.
Five died, four of them tangled in
the maze of light steel that sel­dom
bears more than a slight wal­lop.
One of those disastrous collis­ions
involved a head-on smash
which totally demolished the bug
and ushered the Grim Reaper in
to meet the three innocent Volks
passengers and a rider of the
Chevrolet driven by a survivor
who wasn't so free of sin. Blasted
on the crest of a hill by the big­ger
car, fringing on center lane
rights, the three dead occupants
of the small auto never knew
what had hit them.
The other Volkswagen tragedy
illustrates violation of. the first
commandment of small car driv­ing
and the point of this column
—don't ever take chances that
you'd never attempt in a larger,
less mobile vehicle!
This past spring, another Chev­rolet
was headed away from town
on West Glenn when the student
at the wheel spotted a Volks back­ing
out from the John's Cleaners
parking lot. Any prudent driver
would have paused to allow the
Chevie to pass. This one figured
his petite auto could outmaneuver
the approaching car. It cost him
his life.
We doubt that many non-par­tisan
automobile critics will argue
the assumption of lighter, smaller
foreign models possessing capa­bilities
of making quick and pre­cision
moves which other cars
can't make. Sure—you can speed
them across lanes on busy high­ways
to pull in between closely-separated
autos. They'll make the
turns before an oncoming ve­hicle
smashes them into oblivion.
But once in a thousand times they
won't make it. If you operate a
money-saving bug, be sure that
you don't fit into that hexed tenth
of a per cent. A crushed light­weight
car makes a grusome mess!
JIMMY HITCHCOCK
The recent death of a prominent
alumnus, Jimmy Hitchcock, brings
to mind the reasons for which we,
as Auburn students, can be ex­tremely
proud of our school. All
of us have heard of Jimmy Hitch­cock,
gridiron star, an Ail-Amer­ican
Hall of Famer with a bril­liant
athletic career at Auburn.
But Jimmy Hitchcock's merits
reached far greater heights than
many of us realize.
Although I was not fortunate
enough to know him well per­sonally,
I recall many times that
he was mentioned by friends and
associates of his. Always mention-

Hitchcock had attained busi­ness

Alabama Public Service Commis­sion

These are attainments to be
proud of but these are not the

he was always "Jimmy

He has certainly set a goal for

Officers appointed
to SGA positions
for Summer Quarter
Charlie McArthur of Pansey,
the elected vice-president of the
Student Government Association,
is serving as president of the stu­dent
body during the Summer
Quarter.
The summer vice-president is
Phil O'Berry, Miami, Fla.; J im
Williams is the secretary, and the
treasurer is Bill Jones.
T h e s e changes are necessitat­ed
by three of the elected officers
not being in school during the
summer.
The usual business meetings and
correspondence are being carried
on this summer, but very little in
the way of changes is expected to
be made this quarter since there
will be no senate or cabinet meet­ings.
The regular slate of Student
Government officers for the com-i.
ing school year are president,
Boolie Hill; vice president, Charles
McArthur; secretary, Robbie Rob-json,
and treasurer, Jimbo Rod-gers.
These officers will begin
their terms of office in the fall.
The Student Government offi­ces,
located in Room 316 of the
Union Building, will be open on
Mondays and Wednesdays from 2
to 5 p.m. Any student needing
help or information concerning
the office is invited to drop by.
In the Women's Student Gov­ernment
Association, a summer
slate of officials is also in effect.
Acting president is Harriet Holi-lield
with Gail Hayes serving as
summer secretary. Since the WS-GA
summer load isn't as heavy as
the regular quarter's work, the
two officers are sufficent.
The regular officers who will
take over in the fall are president,
Sydna Roton; vice-president, Eva
Mae Jernigan; secretary, Sue
Ward, and treasurer, Lila Nolen.

A Look At Sports . . . With Jim Phillips J
Auburn Mourns Loss
Of Great Jimmy Hitchcock
Soon after Dad gave me my first football on
a Christmas morning long past, he began to talk of.
a phantom halfback who haunted the defenses of
every opponent in the. old Southern Conference. This battler, as I
always heard him called, wore the orange and blue of my father's
alma mater. His name was Hitchcock.
Last week the sports world was shocked at Jimmy Hitchcock's
abrupt death. Just 47 gridiron seasons have passed since his birth in
1911. His feats came at a time when Plainsman squads had been con­sidered
fortunate to salvage a single game each season and riding with
Lady Luck on the bench if they captured two. Flashing a repertoire
of broken-field running and speed to burn on the breakaway, Au­burn's
first All-American led the 1932 Tigers to the school's initial
unbeaten slate, 9-0-1, topped only by Red Phillips, Billy Atkins, and
the National Champions of 1957.
After engineering that great record of '32, Hitchcock never fully
departed from sports and never ceased to offer his best for the orange
and blue, whether it meant helping choose a winning football coach
or fighting the state legislature for more classroom appropriations as
a trustee of the college. Jimmy Hitchcock was Auburn's and Auburn
his—just ask any townsman or person who knew him well.
Following his 1933 graduation, this most versatile member of the
Hitchcock clan (Brother Billy is a coach for the Detroit Tigers) cast
his lot with the baseballing New York Yankee organization. In the
off-season, he aided Coach Jack Meagher with some explosive Au­burn
backfields.
After an impressive war record with the Navy, Jimmy gained
election to the Alabama Public Service Commission. There he served
citizens of this slate for his final twelve years. After a dismal, win-less
1950 football season, Hitchcock was invited to Auburn to serve on
a committee which screened and selected the new Tiger Coach. "There
were five men on that board," recalled Jordan. "Jimmy swung the
balance toward my favor. Thanks to him, the vote counted 3-2." Of
course the Sugar man's winning ways have drawn the two dissenters
closely toward him since. Hitchcock's convictions paid off—another
great contribution to Auburn as we see it now.
In 1950, our sports immortal served as organizer and commis­sioner
of the character-building Little League baseball program at
his Montgomery home. He participated with the kids for five or six
seasons after that, expanding his activities into Babe Ruth League
work.
During the past twelve autumns, Jimmy officiated Southeastern
Conference football games in a manner that we seldom see. "I've

Speaking of Auburnites . . .
Outstanding athlete Lloyd Nix was a perfect example of versa­tility
during his four years as an Auburn Tiger. After playing for
two years at a halfback position on the football squad, he was moved
to the quarterback slot in '57 where he performed magnificantly. Ip.
two years at this position, Nix never quarterbacked a losing contest.
As a member of the baseball team, Nix played first base for three
seasons before being converted into a pitcher last Spring. Again hie
turned in a sterling performance as he recorded six victories without
a loss and compiled a 2.80 ERA while working 58 innings. Also dur­ing
those 58 innings he issued only 19 walks.
Gridironers Zeke Smith, Jackie Burkett, and Ken Rice lead the
SEC all-star ticket for 1959. Smith, All-America guard on Auburn's
undefeated eleven last season, was voted the best defensive lineman
in the SEC in a Specialist Poll conducted by The. Birmingham News.
The experts also tagged the Tiger's All-Amefica center, Burkett, to be
the top offensive lineman in the conference.

-never talked to a single official who worked with this fellow and
gave him anything less than compliments," said "Marse" John.Brad-berry,
former Atlanta Constitution sports editor who makes Auburn
his home and Jake Hitchcock, Jimmy's older brother, his golfing com­panion.
"He always called them as he saw them, and he hit some
tough situations in the process," Bradberry continued. "If he knew
he was right, he'd battle you should you tell him differently. That's
jfhe mark of all these Hitchcock clansmen."
"It was quite a shock to learn of. Jimmy's death," said Coach Jor­dan.
''Auburn lost a real friend. Athletically speaking, he came to
the Plains in the midst of a situation similar to that which we faced
here' in the early fifties. He picked those boys up quickly and led the
onslaught of wins. Jim's greatest contribution was the inspirational
leadership he offered—especially as captain of t h a t unbeaten '32
squad. He was steady and consistent—an elusive runner along the
lines of Tommy Lorino, a precision kicker, and a fine passer."
While Gordon Persons served Alabama from the governor's chair,
a Number 20 cut from the back of friend Hitchcock's orange and
Vblue jersey hung in Person's office. It now rests in his den.
No Auburn man will deny that death left his alma mater charred
with heavy loss. But Coach Jordan, never at a loss for appropriate
-•words, summed it all up, "We hate to lose him. But Jimmy's death is
just one of those many strange happenings that span far above our
.heads—things that have a purpose which is not yet ours to under­stand."
But Coach, we do understand that come what may, the War
Eagle spirit of this sturdy competitor, benefactor, and friend will
live on throughout the history of this great place called Auburn.
