Auburn Grad School
Plans Space Work
Beginning with the 1962 spring
quarter, ' Auburn University's
School of Graduate Studies will
offer work leading to the master
of science degree in aerospace
engineering. Graduate Dean W.
Vann Parker said the program
will be offered through the aeronautical
engineering department
in the School of Engineering.
Accredited by the Engineering
Council for Professional Development
for the first time in its history
last fall, the aeronautical engineering
department is gearing
its offerings increasingly to aerospace
instruction. The new program
will permit a graduate student
to specialize in such key
areas of aerospace engineering
as areothermodynamics, propulsion
systems, astrbdynamics and
spacecraft design.
Head professor R. G. Pitts said
the graduate program is a tremendous
step forward for the
aeronautical engineering department.
He views it as a necessary
step in view of the rapid development
in space science. "Not
only will it enrich our curriculum,
but it will help expand the
research conducted by the department.
Moreover, it will enable
Auburn to work more closely
with the agencies at Redstone
Arsenal."
Professors in the department

on International Affairs.
Some 4,000 fans turned out at
Cliff Hare Stadium last Monday
week to witness the annual Auburn-
Alabama freshman football
game. Feeling that this was a good
way to help the student body, the
Auburn Athletic Department gave
the Blue Key and ODK national
honor fraternities the sponsorship
of the game.
Athletic Director Jeff Beard has
this to say concerning the game:
"This game was an experiment
in trying to contribute to the wel-

game.
All college dining halls will be
closed at' noon on Wednesday,
Nov. 22. The War Eagle.Cafeteria

University.
We feel that games of this type
in the future can offer a great contribution
to the life of our .student
body in the various projects they
undertake. We were very happy
to co-operate with ODK and Blue
Key for the project they have selected
this year."
An admission, fifty cents for
student tickets and one dollar for
non-student tickets, was charged
for the first time- in* the history
of this Auburn-Alabama clash.
These proceeds' will be given to
the Auburn Conference on International
Affairs, taking place in
February.
Burt Prater, President of. ODK,
terming the day as a highly successful
one, commented, "The attendance
at the game was far
greater . than we had expected
even under the adverse weather
conditions. I feel that the proceeds
from the game will enable us to
bring to the Auburn campus the
best Auburn Conference on International
Affairs ever."
To top off a great' day for charity,
the Baby Tiger and Baby Tide
teams played a classic game as
they battled their way to a 7-7 tie.
Bulldogs To Burn
At Rally Thursday
' BY GEORGE BECK
' The Auburn Spirit will relive an
old Auburn tradition Thursday
night when 11 bulldogs will be
thrown into the flames at the annual
"Burn the Bulldog" pep rally.
Each sorority's pledge class will
build its replica of a Georgia Bulldog
in competition for one of
three awards to be presented by
the spirit committee.
The Pups will be on display in
front of the Union Building from
1 p.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday afternoon,
during which time they
will be judged. Everyone is urged
to visit the 'kennel' at the Union
Building and express his approval
of the exhibits. The rally will
form by the Union Building at
7:15 and, led by the band and
cheerleaders, a march will be
made to Biggio Flats.
At Biggio, each bulldog will be
thrown into a giant bonfire by the
pledges of each sorority. The
cheerleaders will lead in several
yells, and the names of the three
winning sororities will be announced.
Everyone is asked to be
careful if marching with torches
and to be at the Union Building
ready to go by 7:15 p.m.

Stan Sikes and B*obby Boettcher
attended a special meeting
of the Collegiate Council for the
United Nations on Nov. 10-11 at
the Commodore Hotel in New
York City. This aided them in
making plans for the Auburn
Conference On International Affairs
which will be held Feb. 22-
23, 1962. The theme for this year's
conference is "Latin America in
World Affairs."
Over a thousand student leaders
from various colleges and universities
throughout the country
were present at- the Collegiate
Council meeting. The, United Nations
provided speakers for the
occasion. Prime Minister Nehru
of India was the principal speaker.
While in New York, Sikes and
Boettcher visited several Latin
American delegations to the UN.
They lined up several consultants
for the Auburn Conference.
The United States delegation
ha"s "expressed an interest in
ACOIA. An invitation to the conference
was extended to Adlai
E. Stevenson, the U.S. Ambassador
i to the U.N. Also invited to
attend were Senator J. W. Ful-b'right
of Arkansas, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and Doctor Pepe Fig-guers,
former president of Costa
Rica.
The keynote speaker for the
conference will be Representa-tiv
Armistead Seidell of Alabama's
sixth congressional district.
Representative Selden is
chairman of the House Committee
on Latin America. In addition,
he is a ranking member of
the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
In addition to the speakers, a
number of panel discussions will
be held. They will be led by faculty
members of Auburn and
other schools attending the conference.
'Loveliest of the Plains'
Committee Appointed
For Election Revision
An election laws committee consisting
of Buck Thigpen, Dell Hill,
Brian Mitchell, Lee Griffith, and
Bobby Boettcher, chairman, has
been appointed by Ford Laumer,
president of SGA.
• The purpose of the committee
is to revise existing election laws
(making them more specific),
dropping obsolete rules, and adding
new ones where necessary.
The work of the committee will
be presented to the student body
for approval in the Spring elections.
REPUBLICAN CLUB
An organizational meeting of the
Young Republican's Club will be

freshmen is the first move
toward bringing the problem within
control, he said.

thus far for the current quarter.
More than 100 additional probably

The AU traffic control committee,
following long study, recommended
the new policy. .
Funchess said he is recommending
that freshmen not bring cars
to Auburn unless required ' for
commuting.
Freshmen will continue to be
permitted to bring cars to Auburn,
but they will not be allowed to
park or drive them on the campus
except after school hours.
A new zone, to be designated as
zonp D, will be established for
freshmen, parking. The zone will
be on the'periphery of *he campus,
principally Donahue Dr. arid
W. Samford Ave. 'Freshmen will
not be allowed to drive cars
through or within the ftiain campus
during the regular daj^ hours
when parking restrictions aie in

graduate students.)

Tickets, if available, will also
be sold at the door. Admission
price will be $2.00.
This versatile group has performed
in the top night spots, of
the nation, has appeared opposite
top box-office stars, and has received
highest acclaim in the
press.
The group consists of three
members: Louis Gottlieb, bass-thumping
leader with a Ph.D., who
slings philosophy and polysyllabic
words with as much ease as he
renders music; Glenn Yarbrough,
main soloist, an artist possessing
a lyric tenor voice of "unusual
clarity and warmth;" Alex Hassi-
!ev, who plays the banjo and sings
mellow baritone in a dozen dif-
?erent languages.
The Limeliters are perhaps an
antithesis, yet a complement to
the youthful, button-down Ivy
Leaguers also popular today. They
expertly perform traditional folk
songs and ballads with an eye to
current events, but they spice the
program with satirical comments
on their own performance, the
MJ-;- - . . .=j---i
performances of others, and everything
in general.
The reason for The Limeliters'
popularity is summed up in a quote
from the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Witty, satirical, hard-driving,
and versatile, The Limeliters
(have) proved themselves to be
masters of their own particular
style of folk and pseudo-folk
singing."
Elected In Runoff
Frank Brown was elected president
of the School of Veterinary
Medicine and Marl^ Shelley was
elected vice president of the
SchooL of Pharmacy in a special
runoff election held Monday,
Nov. 6 in those two schools.
Brown and Shelley, of the War
Eagle party, defeated candidates
from the All Campus party. The
final count from the IBM tabulation
system was Frank Brown
—109, over Wally Hester—105,
in Vet School; Mark Shelley—56,
over Ed Smith—38, in Pharmacy
School.
The election was held in order
to break two unprecedented ties
in the O c £3 fall election. According
to Bobby Boettcher, Supt.
of Political Affairs, voting was
very light in the School of Pharmacy,
although the School of Vet
Medicine voted close to 100 per
cent.
Campus Fund Drive
Closes This Week
By RICHARD BOND
The All Campus Fund Drive
is moving into its final phase
this week, scheduled to end Nov.
18. The goal of this year's drive
is set at $3000, compared to $2918
collected last year.
National charities sharing in
all funds collected includes the
World Universities Student Fund,
Cancer Fund, Heart Fund, Auburn
Community Chest, and Cerebral
Palsy Fund.
. Several organizations have
sponsored activities to support
the drive. Delta Delta Delta sorority
held a car wash Monday,
Noy^liL. Kappa Alpha_Theta so-
Tority sponsored'"'a slave auction
Tuesday. Circle K Club and Alpha
Phi Omega members collected
donations at the Stomp'State
pep rally Nov. 9.
For tomorrow the Alpha Gamma
Delta sorority, in cooperation
with the Sigma Chi fraternity, is
sponsoring a band at the Union
Cafeteria from 3 p.m. to 5 pjn.
Provision has been made for
individual donors to deposit their
contributions at the Union Building
desk. Special envelopes will
be provided at the desk for this
purpose!
It has been suggested that each
fraternity member contribute at
least 75 cents. The fraternity
pledge classes have canvassed all
students living off campus and a
trophy will' be presented to the
group soliciting the largest
amount of money,
Jim Kilpatrick, fund drive
chairman, expressed his hope that
every Auburn student who has
not yet made a contribution will
respond to this opportunity to
give.

Decatur and is a member of Delta Delta Delta.
Student Organizations Council Meets
With Club Representatives, Advisors
Representatives and advisors of
the 134 recognized student organizations
met last night with the
Council of Student Organizations,
Student Government officers, and
members of the administration.
The purpose of the meeting was
to discuss mutual problems for
a better understanding and a
greater Auburn.
Ann Walker, Superintendent
of Organizations and Chairman
of the Council of Student Organizations,
began the meeting by
introducing James E. Foy, Dean
of Student Affairs; Herb Rein-hard,
Activities Advisor; Clarence
Cook, Manager of the Auburn
Union; and members of the Council—
Joe Buck, Sam Gentry, Vic
Kester, and Sally George. She
then made a brief talk explaining
the purpose of the meeting.
Ford Laumer, President of the
Student Body, welcomed the
representatives to ,the meeting
and explained the connection of
the Student Government Association
with student organizations.
Ann, as chairman, then
stated the purpose of the Council
of Student Organizations as
being to work in an advisory capacity
with any student organization
or publication, to aid any student
group wishing to become a
recognized student organization,
and to recommend to the Student
Senate the acceptance or rejection
of any organization or group
wishing to become a recognized
student organization.
Brief talks were made by Dean
Foy on the role the administration
plays in student organizations
and by Clarence Cook on
Union Building facilities available
to student organizations. Activities
Advisor Herb Reinhard
spoke on the Senate rules and
regulations governing the organization
of student groups. Joe
Buck, Council member, told the
group of the future plans of J he
Council of Student Organizations.
He • stressed the fact that the
Council sits in an advisory capacity
only and its main purpose
is to aid and assist student organizations.
Chairman Ann Walker then
opened the floor for discussion of
similar problems facing organizations
and any suggestions representatives
would like to make
to the Council. After a lengthy
discussion, the meeting was adjourned.
In recent actions, the Council
of Student Organizations has
recommended to the Student Senate
that the Latin American Club
and the Radio Club be done away
with. The Latin American club,
it was felt, did not have enough
potential membership to draw
from, and there was not enough
interest expressed in the Radio
Club. Both recommendations
were approved by the Senate.
The Pre-Law Club and the
Auburn Psychology Club, two
new organizations, were recommended
for a probationary period.
The Pre-Law club has been
approved by. the Senate, but no
action has yet been taken on the
Psychology Club.
The one-year probationary periods
of the Auburn Soccer Club,
the Auburn Critique and the Auburn
Historical Society were extended
by the Council. Recommendations
were made to the Critique
concerning steps which
should be taken in order to meet
the Council's approval and gain
recommendation to the Senate as
a permanent organization.
Scheduled for review by the
Council later this quarter are the
following organizations: Alpha
Zeta, Auburn Camera Club, Pi
Mu Alpha, Auburn Student Education
Organization, and the Auburn
Historical Society.
Carry Out Variety Of Projects '. , . Sorarities Aid Charities
Even with their busy campus schedules, Auburn University
sorority members manage to find time to carry out local,
state, national and international projects which benefit thousands
of people.
Alpha Delta Pi sorority gives $25 annually to their national
philanthropy which provides
for physical therapy equipment
and gift scholarships to outstanding
women of Allied Nations. The
members pack large baskets of
food each Thanksgiving for some
needy family in the Auburn area.
They make available each year a
$10 award to the sophomore girl
on campus with the highest scholastic
average in the School of Architecture
and the Arts.
Alpha Gamma Delta members
spent many hours prior to Christmas
last year collecting toys which
were given to the Lee County
Welfare Department to be passed
on to underprivileged children at
Christmas. Each sorority member
also gave one dollar toward a contribution
which went to the Montgomery
Crippled Children's Home
to help the cerebral palsied and
the physically handicapped.
Last summer Chi Omega sorority
provided money, clothing and
sports equipment necessary for
three girls from the Auburn-Ope-lika
area to attend Grandview Y-WCA
camp near Montgomery.
Their "Christmas kindness" p.ro-t/
IPPY sez-ject
last year involved collecting
clothes, food and toys for families
in the Auburn area. A check for
$100 is contributed yearly,by Chi
Omega members to help support
an 11-year-old Greek girl through
the Foster Parent's plan.
The major philanthropic field of
Delta Delta Delta sorority is education.
A large amount of. money
contributed by Tri-Delta members
each year goes for undergraduate
and graduate scholarships in colleges
throughout the nation. The
local chapter awards a yearly
scholarship to an Auburn woman
student with money raised by caiv
wash, doughnut sale and shoeshine
projects.
Members of Delta Zeta sorority
presented eight needy families in
the area with baskets of food last-
Thanksgiving. They also gave a
Christmas party to a family in Auburn,
complete with Christmas
dinner, clothes and toys for each
of the children, Christmas carols
and party refreshments. A speech,
scholarship was made possible for
an Auburn woman student last
year through membership contribution.
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
makes bi-annual contributions to
the Institute of Logopedics, their
national philanthropy. The institute
helps many children and
adults to overcome speech defects.
Money for this project is earned
by selling doughnuts throughout
the girls' dormitories. «
Kappa Delta metabers help to
support a 13-year-pld Greek orphan.
Other than $45 sent quarterly,
including the summer, ft>r her
support, sorority members soften
write letters to her and' send1, gifts
at Christmas and Easter. They
provide a large sum. annually
which becomes a part of the $10,-
000 given by all KD members
throughout the nation for the
Crippled Children's Hospital in
Richmond, Va.
Phi Mu members act as foster
parents for a Greek girl through
the Foster Parents' Plan. Ttiey
send her a monthly check for $15
and a $100 check at Christmas,';as
well as clothing and other gitys
during the year. Each year' theiy
award a $75 gift scholarship pet
quarter to an Auburn freshman.';
Members of Pi Beta Phi sorority
last Christmas bought toys which
were given to needy families in
the Auburn area. A yearly donation
given by the local chapter,
together with those from Pi Beta-
Phi chapters all over the nation,
help support a Settlement School
in Gatlinburg, Tenn. The members*

SAE's Housemother Versatile
\; By HARRIET McMILLAN
Behind every great man there
is a dedicated woman. Behind
every good fraternity there is a
dedicated housemother. The newest";
housemother on the Auburn
camfcus is Mrs. Arm Guggenheim,
houseWther to Sigma Alpha Ep-slloh
fraternity.
- Mrs. Guggenheim is a native of
Switzerland^ In 1923 she accompanied
. her husband to Atlanta,
Ga., where he held a position. During
the following years she raised
• family of fii:-children and became
a naturalized, citizen of the
United • States."1 (Because of Swiss
law, she now holds dual citizenship
—from both the U. S'^ and Switzerland).
Three years -ago M r s .
Guggenheim decided that she
wanted something to do. She loves
to work with young people a«)d
so took a job as a fraternity
housemother at another of' cur'
state's universities. She came ta
Auburn this fall as SAE housemother.

in grammar school by practice
teachers at the University Where
her father was a professor. The
children of the professors, about
thirty in all, were taught in this
manner. After completing the sixth
grade she attended the Gymnasium,
a college preparatory school.
Here she received seven years of
Latin along with German, French,
and Italian. Her family spoke a
different one of the modern languages
each week at home, thus
giving her a good language background.
At the age of. seventeen,
Miss Ann received her teacher's
certificate. She continued her
schooling, attending the University
of Vienna. As a result of her extensive
studies, she has a Master's
degree in history, a „ Master's degree
in Germanistics, and the better
part of. work done toward
Master's Degree in applied arts.
& Miss Ann has definite views on
.the subject of being a housemother.
She says "A housemother
has to be just everything—a
good manager, a good cook, a sociologist
\ and a physchiatrist, and
a hostess -.at all social functions.
Activity Fee Series . . . Entertainments Abound
By JIM VICKREY
As preceding articles have
pointed out, the student activity
fee budget provides money for a
number of different Auburn activities.
Those activities previously
mentioned include publications,
athletics, student government,, and
several other large activities with
obviously tangible benefits to each
Auburn student, such as the yearbook
and the newspaper. This
week let us take a brief look at
a few of the more subtle activities
available to all on the Auburn
campus through the utilization of
the student activity fee. It is the
purpose of this article to demonstrate
again the diversity of ways
in which student money is used for
student benefit and enjoyment.
The four activities which we shall
discuss are: student union activities,
lectures and concerts, dramatic
arts, and religious life.
The s t u d e n t union activities
budget supports the many
shows, exhibits, tournaments, and
other entertainment facilities offered
by the Auburn Union. To be
specific, the six and one-half percent
of the total student activity
fee allocated to union activities
finances the annual spring show,
the free movies shown each week

the annual Greek Week stunt
night, all-campus dances, the hobby
shop, receptions, arts and crafts,
calendar of events and the ping

tournaments. All of. these events
are open to the entire campus—
and they are all free! All together,
more than $11,150 is budgeted to
and utilized by the student union
and the entire student body.
The lectures and concerts budget

the total fee fund for four professional
attractions including a
forthcoming engagement by the
Birmingham Symphony Orchestra,
the Robert Shaw

It also provides funds for the Auburn

Affairs. In past years over 6,000
students have attended these free
events. This is just one more way
in which student money makes the

Auburn Boasts Fifty
By DON PHILLIPS
Assistant Features Editr
Auburn, being a university of many varied schools, with
many varied interests, is abundant with honorary fraternities,
sororities, clubs and service organizations. On this campus
there are no less than forty honorary and professional societies,
with ten leadership and service organizations.
These honoraries, as they are
called, contribute an important
part to the quality of any school.
They exist primarily to recognize
the attainment of scholarship of a
superior quality. Also a few honoraries
recognize the development
of leadership qualities, character,
and good campus citizenship in
addition to a strong secondary-scholarship
record. It is the purpose
of these honoraries, however,
not only to recognize these traits,
but also to develop them.
One of the major honoraries Auburn
does not have is Phi Beta
Kappa. Several years ago application
was made for an Auburn
charter, but was turned down because
Auburn is not a member of
the Association of American Colleges.
This is a requirement for a
Phi Beta Kappa charter.
The Plainsman feels that this
phase of campus activity is one
of which the average Auburn student
is basically uninformed.
Nearly everyone has heard of
ODK, Blue Key, Phi Kappa Phi,
and the other few campus-wide
honoraries, but probably few people
could name even ten of the
other forty-seven, much less tell
who they represent, what they do,
what their ideals are. These organizations
deserve recognition for
the work they do, and it is for
this purpose that The Plainsman
presents this series of articles on
campus honoraries. Each deserves
an article to itself, but unfortunately
due to limited space, only
an outline of each can be given.
Omicron Delta Kappa
. . . national honorary fraternity
for outstanding men leaders. Membership
is awarded to junior and
senior men on the basis of character
and specified eligibility in
the five major phases of campus
life—scholarship (upper thirty-

of their past achievements and
potentials. They have as their
goals: to study, discuss, and strive
to further the best interests of
Auburn; to foster intercollegiate
relations, to promote national collegiate
relations, and develop a
national collegiate spirit by placing
their stamp of approval on
college leaders, making it possible
to recognize them wherever they
may be found.
Annually, Blue Key sponsors
the Miss Homecoming Contest,
decorations and Most Valuable
Player competitions for Homecoming,
freshman orientation, Campus
Capers, and Bruce Greenhill Scholarship
award for journalism students.
The Auburn chapter was
founded in 1926.
Phi Kappa Phi
. . . national scholastic honor society,
highest scholastic honor in
technical institutions. Students in
the highest five percent of their
respective schools may be elected
in their senior year or final quarter
of their junior year. Similar
limitations are placed on the election
of graduate students. Phi
Kappa Phi is open to students in
all schools, election being based
on scholarship primarily, with
character and service considered.
The Auburn chapter was established
in 1914. It is the highest
scholastic honor that can be bestowed
on an Auburn student.
Phi Eta Sigma

fraternity for men. Phi Eta Sigma's
purpose is to encourage and reward

IT'S LATERkTHAN YOU THINK!
All year long you've been promising yourself to go there. Now
the semester is nearly over and you still haven't set foot in the
place. Shame on you!
But it's not too late. Right now, this very minute, before
you weaken, lift up your head and forward march to the place
you have been avoiding ever since school began. I refer, of
course, to the library.
Now here you are at the library. That wasn't so bad, was
it? Of course not! Go inside. What do you see? A sign that says
"NO SMOKING." Go outside. Light a Marlboro. Smoke.
Go back inside.
Because now you are ready. Now your trembling resolution
is rigid. Now your pulsing psyche is serene. You have been
calmed by mild Marlboro. You have been soothed by that fine
selectrate filter, by that fine full flavor that dotes and pampers
and caresses, that lifts the fallen, repairs the shattered, straightens
the bent, unravels the knotted, rights the askew, and
fastens the unbuttoned.
In the center of the library you see the main circulation desk.
Look in the card catalogue for the number of the book you
want, write the number on a slip, and hand it to the efficient
and obliging young lady at the desk. The efficient and obliging
young lady then gives the slip to an efficient and obliging page
boy who trots briskly back into the stacks, curls up on a limp
leather encyclopedia,-, and sleeps for an hour or two. Then,
puffy but refreshed, he returns your slip to the efficient and
obliging young lady at the desk, who tells you one of three
tilings: a) "Your book is out." b) "Your book is at the bindery."
c) "Your book is on reserve."
Having learned that the circulation desk hasn't the least
intention of ever parting with a book, let us now go into the
periodical room. Here we spend hours sifting through an imposing
array of magazines—magazines from all the far corners
of the earth, magazines of every nature and description—but
though we search diligently and well, we cannot find Mad or
Playboy.
flpMBliBfiftl
^0illuJorMW^f
Next let us venture into the reference room. Here in this
hushed, vaulted chamber, we find the true scholars of the
university—earnest, dedicated young men and women who care
for only one thing in the world; the pursuit of knowledge.
Let us eavesdrop for a moment on this erudite couple poring
over heavy tomes at the corner table. Hush! She speaks:
SHE: Whatcha readinf, hey?
HE: The Origin of Species. You ever read it?
SHE: No, but I seen the movie.
HE: Oh.
SHE: You like readin'?
HE: Naah.
SHE: What do you like?
HE: Hockey, licorice, girls, stuff like that.
SHE: Me too, hey.
HE: You pinned or anything?
SHE: Well, sort of. I'm wearin a fellow's roc'ji'oyclc
emblem . . . But it's only platonic.
HE: Wanna go out for a smoke?
SHE: Marlboro?
HE: What else? '
And as our learned friends take their leave, let us too wend
our way homeward—a trifle weary, perhaps, but enlightened
and renewed and better citizens for having spent these happy
hours in the library, Aloha, library, aloha!

Toward Attenuating Cafeteria Cacophony
The constant clamor and chatter, the
clanging of the vending machines, and the
myriad other discordant noises which contribute
toward the vast cacophony which
usually characterizes the Union Building
cafeteria are for the most part unavoidable.
Admittedly, it is very hard, and it
will probably always be very hard, to sit
peacefully down to a quiet cup of coffee
and some enjoyable conversation among
friends.
However, part of the most insufferable
noise of the Union Building could be quickly
and effectively stopped by ending the
wailing, moaning, shouting din which is
periodically given birth to by that squat,
gaping monster usually called the juke box.
When some of the worshippers of this major
deity in the rock-and-roll Olympus feed
it their silver sacrifices and the blessed,
melodic strains of such classics as "Runa-round
Sue" or "The Fly" or "Let's Twist
Again" begin to" issue from its oversized
belly and all its accompanying mouth;; scattered
about the walls, all conversation below
the level of a well-directed shout becomes
completely inaudible.
Could it perhaps be somewhat indicative
of the intellectual level of this University
and its students when discussions of Shakespeare
and nuclear physics and the threat
of Communism are all placed subservient
to such musical gems as "What A Party" or
"The Float" or (best of all) "Te-Ta-Te-Ta-
Ta" and other like creations?
The best remedy to this situation would
be to eliminate this modern-day Baal altogether.
Failing this, acoustical baffles
should be constructed to separate this musical
miscarriage and its worshippers from
the rest of the cafeteria area. At the very
least, it should be attenuated to the point
where it is just one more noise and not an
all-pervading din.
Christian Christmas For Christians?
The Christmas craze gains momentum.
Already gaudy store windows reflect the
commercialization of the season. Social
gadabouts, each with mad design upon outdoing
their every competitor, sustain nervous
fits as they dream up next month's
gala parties. All this of course proclaims
the coming of Christ—a Christ many of
our commercial captains and social wonders
will tell you is their own.
Deep within themselves, some of those
dogmatic New Testament interpreters who
so conventionally participate in conventional
Christmas surely realize the descre-cration
they and less aware "believers" are
showing the birth of their Christ. Perhaps
someday these Christians of beleaguered
conscience will join ranks of an already
realistic Christian minority who would like
nothing better than spearheading a reform
movement featuring banishment of contemporary
Yuletide and, yes, a return to the
long-lost mode of commemorating their
Christ's birth in that spirit of solitude and
deep reverence which once signified a great
religious movement.—Jim Phillips.
Think, Remember, And Give
The All-Campus Fund Drive, now in progress,
is a worthy institution which should
be well supported by all Auburn students
and faculty. We should all realize our obligation
to those less fortunate than ourselves
and seek to exceed the campaign's relatively
low goal of $3000.
This is the only charitable drive conducted
at Auburn during the course of the
year, and anyone should be willing to give
at least once. Besides, the many gimmicks
devised by various organizations serve to
make contributions practically painless.
Think of the need, remember your affluence,
and give.
A Strange Type Of Logic
Right now a few unfortunate Georgia
school teachers who dared speak against
the status quo may be quite busy working
off punishment tours inflicted by political
pressure. These teachers committed the
cardinal sin of writing their congressman
in hopes of securing his support for the ill-fated
federal aid to education bill.
According to Reg Murphy, political editor
of The Atlcmta Constitution, the jobs of
these vituperative teachers have been
threatened in a "discreet, but meaningful
way," by principals under edict of a congressman.
All characters of this Greek
tragedy are left un-named.
The Georgia Congressional delegation
squealed out loudly on behalf of General
Edwin Walker in the recent "muzzling the
military" debate. Now that Murphy has exposed
this matter of solons muzzling their
constitutents, it may prove highly entertaining
to view the reactions of each Georgia
congressman, especially reactions of the
delegation's several rightwing "super-patriots"
who so ably defended the general.
Approach Of Orwellian 1984
Guest Editorial from
The Chattanooga Times
George Orwell's novel, "1934," is certainly
a thought-provoking book. It is easy
to see—though we wouldn't agree—that
some people might believe that its gloomy
forecast of what life could be like under
totalitarian rule is unsuited for use in a
high school English class.
A teacher in Minnesota was suspended
for making it required reading — which
smacks of totalitarianism—but was reinstated
when he agreed the book might be
optional.
School board members said the action
was taken because some parents complained
of treatment of sex in the novel.
Somehow or other the book failed to provoke
that particular line of thought when
we read it.
But it is gratifying to know that "Big
Brother" is watching our school books.
A Heritage Of Humor
The death of James Thurber was a hard
blow to the world of contemporary literature.
His outstanding writings and drawings
kept millions of Americans and others
throughout the world laughing through the
most perilous times in man's troubled history.
(;
The gift of true wit, like a rare gem, is
all the more precious for its rarity. Perhaps
if we had more good humor, and more
ability to appreciate it, our mental hospitals
would not be becoming increasingly inadequate
to contain the members of our
society who are worrying themselves into
insanity.
James Thurber exemplified this true wit
which we need so badly. The great humorist
can, like Thurber, soothe us with the
medicine of laughter, and he can act as
an important social critic by exposing foibles
and killing our sacred cows.
When we read "The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty" or My Life and Hand Times or
many of "The Talk of the Town" columns
in the New Yorker, we know th.it Thurber
will be hard to replace. We can be thankful,
however, for the heritage of 1 is humor.

NO POETIC APPRECIATION
Letters To The Editor .
Weeks Disavows Election Letter And Discredits Author;
Plainsman Apologizes And Urges Discipline For Fraud
Fellow Students:
Reading last week's Plainsman
was somewhat of a shock to me.
It seems that I was supposed to
have written a letter to the editor
concerning the controversial
Miss Homecoming election. I
wrote no such letter.
It seems if "Mister X" (that's
as good a name as any) has mare
fools of myself and The Plainsman
staff. He used the editorial
page and an assumed name
(mine) to accomplish some fiendish
end. Perhaps he wanted to
try to ruin the reputation of Mr.
Sikes at my expense, or perhaps
he had some sort of grudge
against me. I really don't know.
To the students who may have
gotten a Wrong impression of me
from Mister X's literary gem, I
would like to say now that you
have the wrong fellow if you
blame me for said letter. As for
Miss Moore's disqualification
from the election, I cannot say
that I was pleased. But then I
really did not know the truth,
nor do I now, and the whole incident
was forgotten until Wednesday
when The Plainsman came
out. I preferred to forget it because
it was over and done with.
The letter was really pretty
shallow. It should be read by all
as an example of specious and
calumnious writing. It is entirely
within reason to ask for facts.
It is entirely unreasonable to continue
for additional paragraphs
making coarse and disgraceful
remarks which are libelous and
thereby become a legal matter. I
question that the right to free
speech includes the right to exceed
all bounds of • decency or
reasonableness.
The outrage was further compounded
by the petty, mean, and
cowardly act of using my name
or anybody else's. Such a treacherous
act renders our unknown,
self-appointed expert an untrustworthy
individual at best.
Sincerely,
Lowell Weeks
We sincerely apologize for any
embarrassment to Mr. Weeks
caused by the above-mentioned
letter. If the perpetrator of this
unethical and cowardly fraud is
apprehended, we would suggest
severe disciplinary measures.—
Ed.

Reader Defends
General Walker
Editor, The Plainsman:
In your editorial referring to
General Walker, you repeat in
true "Liberal" fashion the false
allegations made against him.
The accusations against General
Walker are, to be sure, no
reflection on him, but on his accuser,
who was recently convicted
of criminal slander of General
Walker by a German court
(National Review XI, 14: S(219,
and Human Events XVIII, v40:
656). A
The investigation board which
examined all charges brought
against him, dismissed all others,
"admonishing" him solely for
having called Harry Truman and
Eleanor Roosevelt "pinks."
Harry Truman is the individual
who called Eisenhower a fascist
and everyone who is anyone in
Washington, a S.O.B., and if
Eleanor is not a pink, the word
has no meaning.
The founder of the John Birch
Society is speaking at the Royal
Theater in Columbus at 8:00 in
the evening of Nov. 15. It might
pay you to attend and learn something
about the patriotic organization
you have been attempting
to smear in your uninformed editorials.
Sincerely yours,
Jerry Gulledge

It's Right To Curb
U. S. Communists
Editor, The Plainsman:
By some strange twist of logic,
the guest editorial from the Lee
County Bulletin in the' Nov. 1
Plainsman leaves the impression
that it is a sign of cowardice on
the part of those who desire to
curb the freedom of Communists
in propagating their poison,
It baffles me that the very people
who support "nationalism" on
the part of Communist-dominated
groups such as the Lumumb-ists
in the Congo, and (before the
trend became simply too obvious)
the Fidelistas in Cuba, are
the same people who try to make
"Americanism" sound like a dirty
word.
Personally, I know very little
about the John Birch Society. (I
suspect the same is true of most
ordinary citizens because most
newspapers give no real information
concerning the society,
but seem to be content with vilifying
it.) However, the very existence
of such a society will, I
hope, be taken by our politicians
as a sign that many clear-headed,
liberal Americans are ready
for the perpetual May Day which
avowed Communists are enjoying
in this country to come to a close.

Jackson Deplores
Campus Apathy
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was glad to see the Dinsmore
essay on leadership in this week's
Plainsman. It seemed to be one
of the few articles this year that
have been written for a purpose
other than to fill up space. Dinsmore
presented a critical problem
to the student body that a
few people have realized for a
long time.
I do not. understand, however,
how he can say we have leaders
but no leadership. The mediocre
attitude on this campus toward
everything except the Casino,
The Plainsman Club, etc.
proves that either our, student
leaders are leading in the wrong
direction or that we have no student
leaders at all. I know personally
many of the men and
women on this campus who are
.considered student leaders and
I know that they are as capable
and as willing as possible. Since
this is so, why are the attitudes
and aspirations of our campus so
stagnant.
Auburn is at a crisis, we cannot
remain status quo. We must
move ahead or fall behind. This
is a problem of each individual,
not just the so-called Big Wheels.
Until we realize who our leaders
are, if we have any; and what
they are here for, if they have
a purpose, Auburn will never
move ahead and Auburn will
never be great. It might come
as a shock to some of our faculty
and students, but Auburn is
not perfect. We need improvement
in our feelings toward our
school, and we need it now.
Something as fine and as sensitive
as Auburn should not be
destroyed by the dullness of
mediocrity.
Sincerely yours,
Nancy Jackson

ROTC Initiations
'Childish, Undignified'
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter is concerning the
outrageous displays conducted by
the pseudo Military Honoraries
on the Auburn campus.
I think that the juvenile exhibitions
on the lawn of Social
Center and between Samford.
Hall and Ross, namely the toy
submarines and tennis ball cannons,
are a mark of childishness
rather than superiority in the
R.O.T.C. Prior to my attending
Auburn I believed that Military
Organizations bore semblances of
dignity. These I have not seen
displayed on this campus except
among the faculty officers.
In the Women's Quadrangle it-is
impossible to study with numerous
overgrown children who,
thinking they are big-shots, are
constantly yelling orders at those
poor souls who have been given
the honor of being made fools of.
Besides, one has to dodge maneuvers,
in order to reach the
door to the dining hall.
True, there must be hazing
but waking girls up at 4:00 or
5:00 . a.m. with a "FOORD
HARCH" is not as hard on the
neophytes as it is on those hundreds
of innocents trying to
sleep.
One must realize that Auburn
is a university, supposedly composed
of men and women, and
that in order to uphold this status
we must all conduct ourselves
as mature young men and women
and not continue to revert to
kindergarten tactics.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Bomboy

Public Attitude Approach Contrasted
As Education Is Negatively Attuned
By W. H. Byrd
It has been a long time since
I've read anything in The Plainsman
so poignantly expressed as
the letter penned by James F.
Byrne in the November 1 issue.
Here was straight-from-the-hip
sharpshooting with a definite
sense of purpose. Seldom does
a member of the collegiate population
rise to such heights of positive,
directional action.
Generally the student is so
brainwashed by accepted educational
standards and processes
by the time he (or she) reaches
the university, that the tendency
is to follow the same negative approach
to individual activities as
education ' applies to its activities.
Mr Byrne was obviously not
afraid to give offense where he
thought offense was due. This is
the action that is contrary to college
people and education in
general. >
The negative approach involves
the keying of activities,
achievements and goals to the
level of acceptance of the greatest
number of people you are
least likely to offend. Hollywood
does it, publications do it, industry
does it, politics do it, Madison
Avenue does it and Brigitte Bar-dot
does it. The only limitation
is the degree to which the public
can be brainwashed into
changing its attitude about what
is offensive.
In contrast, the positive attitude
is that from which activity
is directed to a given end for
the sake of accomplishment, regardless
of what the general public
attitude may be. Now this kind
of attitude is indicative of a
unique sense of purpose and is
the stepchild of courage.
Last spring 22 Auburn students
publicly announced their positive
stand on a pertinent issue.
The reaction against this display
of positive action demonstrated
in what little regard the public
holds positive action. The current
fad is to brand any disagreeable
positive action as Communist
and let the rabble take
over from there.
One of those 22 students was
kindly reminded by a hometown
philosopher that ideals are alright,
but a Christian would
starve to death in the country.
This may be a good observation,
but it certainly doesn't speak well
for the condition of the country-
Yet considering what happened
to the first Christian, starvation
doesn't seem to be as cruel a
chastisement as one might imagine.
What the hometown philosopher
was saying, in effect, was
that Christianity is exemplary
of the positive attitude while our
glorious nation puts on the negative
raiment. He is also implying
that we had better mind our
nation first and our religion second
if we really want to get on,
i.e. offend the least! number of
people.
The result of this negative attitude
is that we are tempted to
lay morality aside and judge
something not on its intrinsic
merit but whether we can adjust
to it or not. The question about
rigged TV Quiz shows was whether
the public approved or not.
There were not many strong
voices saying, "The public be
damned, it's just plain wrong,"
the main reason being that the
public likes neither to be damned
nor overruled. After all, Charlie
was such a clean cut chap.
Now education is One of the last'
strongholds where the positive
attitude can maintain a footing.
The trouble is that the areas of
positive attitude are remote cliques
of graduate students with a
direction in mind, a department
where knowledge is held to be
king and the Dean can go cry
in his filing cabinet if he doesn't
like it, or a lecturer who brave instates
to the qlass that he believes
in morality or the virtue
of truth.
What has generally happened
to education is that politics and
beauracracy have taken strong
hold of materials and methods,
and politics and beauracracy are
the sworn enemies of positive attitudes.
The result is a negative
system of education, from kindergarten
up, turning out a mess
of negatively attuned students.
Congratulations are thus in order
to letter writer Byrne who
has obviously foiled politics,
beauracracy, Madison Avenue
and the educational system. May
you starve in peace, sir.
New Democracy Chapter . . .
Pilgrims-First Congregationalists;
Thanksgiving Day Given To America
By. Henry Blizzard
of the members, they would ask
for his resignation. They used
no prayer book and celebrated no
saints' days, not even Christmas
and Easter.
The Congregationalists ,came
into formal being in 1629 by a
simple agreement among the
Puritans. We are all familiar with
the harsh practices of these Puritans
in their narrow enforcement
of their code of laws. In the remorse
over their excesses, the
Puritans experienced a change,
and in the 18th and 19th
centuries the Ctongregaltional
Churches gradually assumed a
leadership which was liberal,
tolerant and progressive. They
have always been strong supporters
of education, for they were
the founders and supporter of
Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst,
Middlebury and several
other great schools.
They have produced such theological
giants as Jonathan Edward,
Horace Bushnell, Henry
Ward Beecher, Dwight L. Moody,
and Lyman Abbott. Slowly the
recognition of Christmas and
Easter crept back into the church
'and the order of worship today is
similar to that of Baptist, Methodist
and other large Protestant
bodies. In recent years Congregationalists
have grown increasingly
interested in the unifying
of similar demonstrations. Attempts
at merger have been made
with the United Brethren, Methodist
Protestants, the Disciples of
Christ, and the Presbyterians but
failed, perhaps because the time
was not ripe. But in 1929
full unification was made with
the denomination known as the
Christian Church. These two are
now one and are today known as
the Congregational Christian
Churches.
The history of the Congregationalists
is in many ways the
story of America. Americans owe
thanks to its founding fathers for
a large contribution to what is
ours today.
Thanksgiving is a traditional
American holiday that comes to
us as a result of the act of thanksgiving
practiced by the pilgrims
in 1621. The one-hundred and
two persons that landed in America
in 1620, and known to history
as the Pilgrims, have left
us not only with a holiday but
also with a new chapter in democracy
and a large influence
In the protestant world.
After a history of persecution
in England there begins the familiar
story of how this small
group braved the Atlantic in
the 180-ton "Mayflower" to arrive
at Plymouth Rock in December,
1620. Whether or not the
Pilgrims ever landed on the particular
boulder enshrined as
"Plymouth Rick" we will never
know, but we do know that
abroad this ship was signed the.
first agreement freely made by
a group of men in order to establish
their own system of laws.
It was in the same tradition and
spirit that the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution
later followed.
Also on board this small ship
was the first Congregationalist
Church. The beliefs of these people
provided the basis on which
the Congregationalists of today
believe and worship. These people
had rejected the age-old practice
of the Church of England
and began a practice of worship
that to America has become
familiar. The word "congregational"
did not come into use until
the middle of the 17th century,
but the significance of the
revolutionary change was that
the basis for church membership
was a congregation rather
than a parish. Instead of their
pastor being chosen by a bishop,
the separatists chose their own
pastor, ordained him and supported
him themselves. They even
chose their own theology, for
they would not call a minister
until they had heard and approved,
his sermons. Later if his beliefs
departed from the majority
Aero Engineering
Praised By Army
Branimir Djordjevic, professor
of aeronautical engineering,
and his assistants have been commended
by officials of the Army
Ballistic Missile Agency for outstanding
research work.
Djordjevic and his assistants
have completed the first phase of
a project for aerodynamic support.
According to ABMA personnel,
the report of that phase
has been evaluated and found
to be one of the finest in its
field.
In commending Djordjevic and
his assistants, C. W. Hussey, director
of the Analysis and Advanced
Design Laboratory, Research
and Development Operations,
said, "The effort and painstaking
detail that went into the
completion of the data is clearly
evident and the presentation of
these data is very well done."
He said further, "The use of the
report by our engineers has
siown it to be a great aid not
only in the wealth of information
that is available but also as a
time saver."

Computer Lab Installs New IBM 1620,

Auburn University has tripled the work capacity of its

one and the student a more
well-rounded individual.
Dramatic arts receives one and
three-quarter per cent of the fee
money or $3800. This money is
used to help support the Auburn
Players and their various stage
productions throughout the school
year. In 1958-59, for example, six
plays were presented. In presenting
these plays, the Players gave
57 performances to almost 9,000
patrons and had an income of
about $1300 from admissions paid
by persons other ' than students.
One of the plays was presented
on an out-of-town basis in fourteen
cities in the south. At the
present time the Auburn Players
are staging "The World's Wonder."
Another benefit derived—activity
fee brings a theatrical atmosphere
to the Auburn campus.
Finally, and perhaps most im-oortant
of all in lasting benefit,
is the activity of the Religious
Life Committee, financed by one
per cent of the fee or more than
$1550. All expenses of Religious
Emphasis Week are provided for
in this budget. It also provides
funds for various Religious Life
speakers such as Dr. Boone Bo-wen
of Emory University who lectured
last week on the Dead Sea
Scrolls. Certainly, there is a definite
place for religious activities
on the Auburn campus and they
are supported with student money
through the activity fee.
These four activities, not the
largest in field of operation or in
amount of money involved, are
nevertheless extremely important
in their service to the Auburn
student. They are four more reasons
why the Auburn college experience
can contribute much
toward making and maintaining

times faster than that of the older
IBM 650 computer, which it r e places.
A big advantage of the new
computer is its enlarged "memory."
The new unit is a 60,000 digit
computer, as compared to the
older one which only stored the
equivalent of a 20,000 digit system.
The increased flexibility of
the new equipment will also permit
certain uses of the unit which
will effectively double its already
superior 60,000 digit capacity.
Currently, about 40 per cent of
the schedule of the computer lab
is reserved for courses in the programming
and potentialities of
electronic computers. Auburn offers
three of these computer
courses in its industrial management
and mathematics departments.
In addition, the laboratory
is at the disposal of all graduate
students of Auburn who might
benefit from the rapid analysis of
research data. The largest user of
the computer facilities among the
various Auburn departments is the
School of Agriculture, which does
roughly thirty per cent of all the
work done in the lab. The major
portion of the remaining hours are
divided between the' School of" Engineering
and the department. of
psychology.
The computer laboratory also
handles the tabulation of votes in
student elections.
Dr. Nathaniel Macon is presently
serving Auburn as Director of
the Computer Laboratory. He is
assisted by Dr. Theo H. Ellis. Further
expansion of the facilities and
staff of the lab are foreseen.-when
it moves into the new physical
sciences center now under construction.
Education Honorary Elects Officers;
New Tapping rocedures Are Installed
Kappa Delta Pi, an honor society
in education, has elected
the following new officers to
serve for the year 1961-1962:
Ann Walker, president; Peggy
Crew, vice-president; Carole
Thomas, secretary-treasurer; and
Barbara Bynum, reporter and
historian.
These officers as well as Rebecca
Buford, Clifford Burgess,
James D. Covington, Wayne Curtis,
Donald Darnell (Assistant
Professor), Jane Alice Davis,
Barbara Joyce Hanby,' Barbara
Jean Henderson, Judith Hol-combe,
Linda Ellis Walker, and
Carolyn Wilson were tapped for
membership into Kappa Delta Pi
last spring.
In past years it has been the
policy, of Kappa Delta Pi to tap
for membership only in the
spring. However, this policy will
be changed this year, and Kappa
Delta Pi will also tap in the
fall. Only seniors will be tapped
in the fall, and juniors and seniors
will be tapped in the spring.
This change has occurred due to
the fact that many seniors graduate
earlier in December or
March and are therefore not here
for the spring tapping. This
change in policy will be put into
effect this fall, as Kappa Delta
Pi ihas planned to' nave its fall
membership tapping during the
month of November.
The purpose of Kappa Delta
Pi is to encourage high professional,
intellectual, and personal
standards and to recognize outstanding
' contributions to education.
To this end it invites to
membership such persons as exhibit
commendable personal
qualities, worthy educational
ideals, and sound scholarship. It
endeavors to maintain a high degree
of professional fellowship

A Look At Sports ...
They're Not Hungry Tigers;
Work, No Starvation, Please!
BY JOHN WALLACE
Managing Editor
It was a cloudy day in Birmingham.
Intermittent rain the day before and early in the morning had
promised a damp, dreary afternoon. Not so, but then again, yes.
The afternoon wasn't dreary, but the ball game was.
It has been a long time since this happened to Auburn. Not that
ball game. All teams have some bad days. What we mean is a bad year.
They were pretty common before Jordan. Even Jordan had a few
getting started. In 1951 the Tigers halved ten with their opponents.
1952 was worse—something like 2-8.
Then The Glory—
The Tigers were hungry in those days.
Then the glory. A trio of Gator Bowls. A national championship.
A Southeastern Conference crown. Undefeated seasons. Ah, the cheers,
the glory.
They didn't look hungry Saturday.
As a matter of fact, they haven't appeared exactly ravenous often
this season. Maybe, the last half against Tech, Tennessee possibly.
But For A Matter Of Points—
They say but for a matter of four points this would have been a
different season. Some people don't buy that.
The potential is there. It hasn't been shown, but we say it is
there.
They're not hungry.
For certain Rawson is a capable .man. He needs blocking. Burson
(not injured), Hunt, Edwards, Frazier, McGeeven; they play well.
Sometimes they look hungry. Not enough. No determination altogether.
Some New Faces—
The year's not bad yet. The Monday morning T-Bowl found some
new participants this week. Saturday's line up may see some new
faces.
Jordan's too accustomed to winning to let it drop here. Georgia
and Florida should fall. They wouldn't have done so last Saturday.
Maybe next Saturday and the next.
The third! one's the big one. Or was. Now everyone is big.
la losing five and. playing hard worse than loaing none not giving
at all. Some say yea—most say yes. Some say no. Losing five and
not playing is agreed upon—not so good.
No Starvation—
There are two ways to make a Tiger hungry. Starvation is one.
They've had that here. Hard work is another. They're starting that.
No starvation, please! /
JOHN McGEEVER shows one of the reasons why Auburn coaches are giving him a starting shot
on both offense and defense against Georgia as he intercepts a Mississippi State pass to set up a

With four spectacular clutch
plays in the last three minutes,
Mississippi State won its first
conference game since 1958. With
this came State's first victory
over Auburn in nine years.
State was long overdue and
Saturday was to be their big day.
They had worked hard in preparation
for the game and victory
was.not to be denied. It wasn't.
They came. to Legion Field determined
and went away rejoicing
carrying with them a 11-10
win over an ' Auburn team that
had-arrived too late with too little.'--'-,
..v ' ~. . ,.-'• -.-.;.,.' .
The game followed the same
general pattern as two pervious
ones with Atlantic Conference
teams. The Maroons took the
opening kickoff and thus began
a relentless march against the
Tiger forward wall. The march
was climaxed by a 31 yard field
goal by Sammjy Denton. The
score stood and for the third
stright week, Auburn went into
the third quarter trailing a team
they were supposed to beat.
And for the third straight time
the Big Blue came storming
back to tie it up by virtue of a
Woody Woodall field goal in the
third quarter, and then grab the
lead when Bobby Hunt threw
nine yards to Bobby Foret early
in the fourth.
But it wasn't enough. State
wasn't quitting. Bobby Stacy ran
Herman Wilkes' kickoff back to
his 30, Quarterback Charley Fur-low
unleased a 40-yard pass to
Johnny Baker and only a despi-ration

the nod. He made it look easy

Walker didn't bring his team to

Georgia Next For Tigers
By BOBBY PETTUS
Plainsman Sports Writer
When Auburn journeys to
Sanford Stadium in Athens next
Saturday, they could very well be
playing in the S.E.C.'s hard luck
game of the year. Both teams
have been plagued by fumbles,
penalties, and various other bad
breaks.
Auburn, who has won four
and has lost three by a total margin
of four points, certainly deserves
a better fate. Georgia has
been walloped twice losing to
strong Alabama and Miami teams,
but the Bulldogs, too, are a lot
better than the record indicates.
This week the Bulldogs played
an inspired game against Florida
and still came out on the
short end of a 21-14 score. Florida
picked off a Wayne Taylor
fumble on the Georgia 16 for their
first tally and then scored the
other two on long passes.
Included in Georgia's three
victories are wins over both Mississippi
State and Kentucky.
Both teams defeated the Tigers.
The Bulldog's victory over State
was said to have come on a fluke
pass play; however, the two
teams battled it out on even
terms most of the game. Geor-

All's Baby Tigers Storm From Behind
To Roll Over Florida Freshmen, 22-17
A battling Auburn freshman
football team found itself late in
the game and rolled over a fighting
gang of baby Gators from
Florida by a 22-17 count, in Cliff
Hare Stadium Monday.
Quarterback Jimmy Sidle's brilliant
running and accurate; passing
sparked the Tigers to the
come-from-behind victory.1 Sidle
connected on 11 of 18 tosses fcr
132 yards and one touchdown. He
also ran for a tally, covering 12
yards on his scoring jaunt.
Auburn struck early in the
game with halfback Billy Edge
taking the opening k'ickoff on the
13 and rambling 87 yards for "a
six-pointer. Billy Melton rriade
good on the PAT attempt and the
Baby Tigers went ahead in the
game 7-0 with just a few seconds
gone on the clock.
But Florida, led by Quarterback
Tom Shannon, bounced back capping
a sustained drive with Larry
Hess slicing over right tackle from
the one for their first score. A 20-
yard toss, from Shannon to end
Ken Werth and a pass interference
penalty had moved the Gators
within scoring range. Jim Hall's

PAT knotted the count in the closing
minutes of the initial period.
In the second quarter four more
strikes by Shannon produced another
Florida touchdown with
Werth grabbing the last one from
six yards out to put the Gators out
in front. Hall's kick sent the Tigers
into the dressing room at the
half losing 14-7.
Midway in the : third period
Florida pushed deep into Auburn
territory, but had to settle for a
22-yard field goal by David Hiers
when the Tiger defense stiffened.
From that point on, the Tigers
were in charge of the ball game. A
Sidle pass to end Allen Israel ate
up 20 yards. Fine running by Sidle.
and halfback Mickey Sutton covered
more ground, and a lix-yard
pitch from Sidle to end Jimmy
Speegle put the Plainsmen back
into the game. Auburn elected to
go for two points and sent Sutton
around left end to make the score
17-15 with 14:59 remaining in the
contest.
A fierce Auburn charge and
fine kicking by Ronnie Faulk. Jon
Kilgore and Doc Griffith kept the
Gators in a hole forcing them to
punt. Sidle took command again
directing a touchdown march and
covering the last 1.2 yards himself
to provide the winning marsrn.
Melton's second PAT made it 2?.-
17.
For Auburn Sidle ran eight
times for 43 yards while Tucker
Frederickson hit the line 11 times
for 20 yards. End Jimmy Speegle
snagged three of Sidle's tosses for
51 yards.
Florida's fine quarterback,
Shannon, completed seven of 10
passes for 113 yards and one
touchdown.

McGEEVER-A BRIGHT SPOT
AMONG FEW LAST SATURDAY
John McGeever was the brightest among few bright spots
in the Tigers' loss to Mississippi State Saturday. "He was
trying to win by himself it appeared," said Coach Jordan.
And so he was. He was all over the field making tackles,
intercepting passes, and the like.
Johnny took one State pass late in the third quarter and
ran it back 60 yards to the Maroon nine. Auburn failed to
score however, because one official swore he saw a clip way
back on the Auburn 30.
But the ever alert number 36 was not finished, not by
a long shot. He absolutely was not to be denied. He one-handed
another Maroon toss and went 16 yards to the State
seven. This time it payed him a big dividend. The Tigers
scored a minute later and went ahead 10-7.
Not only was he picking off State aerials, he was going
about methodically landing smashing tackles all of the afternoon
and was generally a thorn in Wade Walker's bouquet of
glory.
For this John McGeever is this'- week's player of the
week.—McCAY .
SEC Wrap-Up
Auburn and Georgia Tech, both
needing victories to impress bowl
committees, had their post-season'
dreams somewhat dampened
Saturday as the Mississippi
State Bulldogs came back in the
final minute to upset the Tigers
11-10 while the Volunteers of
Tennessee were thumping the
Jackets 10-6.
Behind 10-3 with a little more
than five minutes left ih the
game, Mississippi State covered
69 yards in seven plays to come
within one point • of the Tigers.
Then Bulldog end Johnny Baker
made a sensational, diving catch
of a Charlie Furlow pass for the
two point PAT and State, wajs
ahead to stay.
For"'the Bulldogs it was theJr
first SEC victory since 1958. Auburn
has now lost three g a m e s
this season by a total of 4 points.
Georgia Tech, needing only a
win over Tennessee to assure a
bowl trip, probably let visions of
orange blossoms and thoughts of
next week's battle with Alabama
interfere with their game. Anyway,
when the game was over,
the Engineers came out on the

short end of a 10-6 score.
Once again Mallon Faircloth
came through with the big play
for the Vols. The sophomore tailback
hit end Mike" Straitton on
a 22-yard pass play in the fourth
quarter for a TD and that, along
with Gary Cannon's 31^yard field,
goal, was enough;-to do -the. Jackets
in.
Alabama, looking forward to
next Saturday's battle with Georgia
Tech, didn't let it affect their
game as the Crimson Tide rolled
over the Richmond Spiders 66-0.
The Tide, ranked No. 2 in the
Associated Press Poll, scored in
every quarter in smashing hapless
Richmond. Fullback Dink
Wall had a field day as the sophomore
from Fairfax scored three
touchdowns. He scored one on a
39-yard pass from Pat Trammell
and the other two on short runs
of one and 12 yards.
North Carolina fans and a r e gional
television audience got a
good look at the team that beat
Ole Miss as the LSU Tigers
blanked the Tar Heels 30-0.
Wendell Harris once again was
the big man in the LSU offense
as the flashy halfback scored,
two touchdowns, kicked a 35-
yard field goal and three extra
points in leading the Bengals to
their seventh straight win of the
season.
Seventh ranked Mississippi had
little trouble in downing little
Chattanooga 54-0.
The Rebels, bouncing back
from their heart-breaking loss
to LSU, scored twice in every
quarter on a rain-soaked field
for their seventh win of the season.

Plainsmen Harriers
Take Fourth Victory;
Brewer Sets Mark
Jack Brewer blazed to a new
course record to lead Auburn's
Cross Country team to their fourth
win of the season, 15-49 over
Georgia Tech Monday as the harriers
tuned up for .the Southeastern
Conference meet Nov. 20.
Brewer's time of 18:27.6 over
the 3.625-mile course eclipsed his
own record set earlier this year
against Troy State when he was
clocked in 18:29.7.
The win sends vthe Plainsmen
into next week's SEC meet with
a perfect slate with four victories
in as many starts and with the
best dual meet record ever compiled
by an Auburn team. The Tigers
have rolled over Troy State
Florida, Alabama and G e o r g ia
Tech taking at least the first five
places on each occasion.
Finishing^ behind Brewer against
Tech were Morgan Looney, J im
Dozier, Hal Buckelew, Charier
Patterson and Jim Lynch.
Tech's first finisher- was B ob
•Evans who .came in seventh. Auburn's
Stuart Kearns nailed down
the eighth position.
Herb Cottle, a consistent runner
for the Tigers this season, pulled
a leg muscle and failed to finish
the race. His condition makes him
a doubtful starter for the conference
battle.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's charges
are at least a co-fdvorite to capture
the conference crown. The
Maroons of Mississippi State have
a talented and experienced squad
and may wrest the top position
away from the Tigers.
The waterworks course in Atlanta
will be the scene of the SEC
championship at 10:30 Monday
morning. The racers will follow a
hiMy course for four laps around
the lake, a distance of approximately
four miles—Wallace.

Commodores 16-3.

at Tulane. Florida has an open
date.

PDT, the dark-horse team of
the fraternity leagues, overcame
both PKT and SN to dance its
way to the fraternity football
championship this past week. The
PDT team, which had a tough
time winning the league title
over the ATO's came on strong
in the final game by downing SN,
12-6, for the title. SN, last year's
champs, had to settle for second
place after downing SPE in
the semi-finals. After losing in
the final round, SPE came back
to fight past a good PKT team
19-12. Thus, Auburn winds up
another fine fraternity football
season with PDT, SN, SPE, and
'PKT finishing in that order.
Dormitory football ends this
week with division O, PI, A, and
B vying for the honors. The independent
championship will be
decided Tuesday afternoon when
the Forestry Club plays the BSU.
The BSU overcame a league tie
with Wesley, 0-0; and the Tigers
by penetration in overtime
to win their league and place
themselves in the finals of the
independent championship.
In fraternity volleyball, it's
ATO, DC, and PKT in leagues 1,
2, and 3. League 4 is in a three
