Proposals for futuristic storage of books
outlined by Library Planning Commttee
With an impetus of $2.5 mil­lion
in appropriations for a new
library on the Auburn University
campus, plans are being made
for a building to be constructed
that will house most of the collec­tions
of the university and make
these books readily available to
faculty and students.
The Library Planning Commit­tee,
appointed by Dr. R. B.
Draughon, has decided that the
library's resources should be ccn-

Committee to sponsor
fraternity fire inspection
The fire inspection of fraternity
houses this year will be conducted
by the newly organized Safety
Committee under the direction of
Bill Sutton and Pug Palmer. One
purpose of the inspection by the
committee is to give the student
body more representation in the
inspection of their fraternity
houses. The inspection group is
to be composed of a member of
the committee, an I. F. C. repre­sentative,
and a member of the
administration.
This check is to call attention
to and reduce fire hazards in the
fraternity houses. This is for pre­ventive
measures and all coopera­tion
from the fraternities will be
greatly appreciated. Information
will be sent to the fraternities
prior to the inspections and the
dates will be posted in advance.
tralized. A proposed site for the
building would be between Dun­can
Drive and the Field House
where the tennis courts are now
located.
The Planning Committee, with
Clyde H. Cantrell as chairman,
is composed of 15 members repre­senting
various schools and the
student body. The committee has
met 16 times to consider the plans
drawn up by Dr. A. F. Kuhlman,
the Library Consultant. Included
in Dr. Kuhlman's plans for the
libary are air-conditioning, fluo­rescent
lighting, and a closed re­serve
book system on the Ground
Floor.
Dr. Kuhlman has recommended
a modular type of construction
with uniform units and support by
columns. Acoustical treatment Of
reading rooms, stairways, lobbies,
and workrooms would make the
building quiet for-study. It was
also recommended that as many
books as possible be placed on
open shelves. Strongly recom­mended
was the arrangement of
library resources oh a broad sub­ject
basis placing books in the
following divisions: Biological
Sciences, the Humanities,' the
Physical S c i e n c e s including
Mathematics and Engineering,
and the Social Sciences.
Underlying the outline of plans
is the assumption that the library

Asian Flu heads
Vaccine available
toward Auburn;
free at Infirmary
,..•; An epidemic of Asian ir
authorities has spread across
to Tennessee and is heading
uenza called Virus-Q by many
he middle U.S. from California
toward Auburn.
..According to latest reports, the virus has moved into
Mississippi. Although there are no cases reported yet on
campus; "ail' signs indicate its
pending arrival.
Free vaccine is available to all
students at the infirmary; how­ever,
it must be taken 20 days
prior to exposure to be effective.
Mr. Harold Grant, assistant dir­ector
of student affairs, urges
everyone to take advantage of
this protection now.
Past experience shows that the
infirmary will not have enough
facilities to handle all students if
the flu hits in epidemic propor­tions.
In the fall of 1957 many
students were sent home, some
for weeks, after a similar epi­demic
struck. All sources report
that preventive medicine is the
only sure way of combating the
disease.
According to Dr. Morgan W.
Brown.director of student health,
there is nothing but time that will
cure this flu.
"The only thing that seems to
help," says Brown, "is plenty of
rest. I

in the blood drives.in the
past, and we are counting on
them this year, too."
Chairman of the student com­mittee
organizing this program is
Ray Duncan. He is aided by assis­tant
chairman, Bobby McCord;
publicity chairman, Jim Kilpat-rick;
secretary of the committee,
Suzanne Huffaker; fraternity co-ordinator,
Ford Laumer; a nd
Magnolia Hall representative, Al­len
Stone.
One of the biggest problems
faced by this committee is the
obtaining of parental consent for
all blood donors under 21 years of
age. Cards especially for this pur-pose
have already been distribut­ed
to the fraternities and the
men's dormitories. Students are
urged to get their parent's sig­nature
in time for the drive.
The sororities are doing their
part in the 'drive by aiding in the
publicity department. Each one is
responsible for 10 posters which
will be used to promote the pro­gram.
The IFC will award a plaque to
the fraternity with the greatest
percentage of blood donors. Those
who give blood and those who at­tempt
to give will be counted in
this competition.
Winter enrollment total
reaches record of 8,012
Registration for Winter quarter
has reached an all-time high, with
8012 students enrolled. Although
this is a considerable drop from
Fall quarter's 8880 students on
roll, it is the first time winter
registration has exceeded 8000.
Registrar Charles W. Edwards
says that though records are in­complete,
they show a slight gain
over the record of 7966 set in
1959.
Gains since 10 years ago have
been very significant. 6955 stu­dents
were enrolled then.
The ratio of men to women stu­dents
is declining rapidly accord­ing
to records. Ten years ago the
ratio was slightly less than 5 to 1,
while today it has dwindled to
slightly better than 3 to 1.

Mortar Board, Blue Key to substitute
Campus Capers for Sing, Skit Night
BY KATHERINE DAVIS
EVEN THE CHEERLEADERS won't be able to get into the
Sports Arena when the Seven Dwarfs play host to Tech and Ken­tucky.
Ophelia Jones, a versity cheerleader and this week's love­liest,
demonstrates what would be good advice for basketball fans
during coming weeks. The lovely sophomore radio-carrier's yell-leading
ability was well-tested as a former rooter for Auburn
High's Baby Tigers. Since enrolling at her home-town college, she
has become a member of Alpha Omicron Pi.
Campus Capers, sponsored by
Mortar Board and Blue Key, will
be presented Feb. 17 and 18. This
production will combine what in
the past have been two separate
events, Skit Night and Sphinx
Sing.
Awards will be presented as be­fore
to the winning fraternity and
sorority skits and songs. In ad­dition,
rotating trophies will be
presented to the second place win­ners.
Rules governing the entries in
the two categories have been mod­ified.
The following changes ap­ply
to Sphinx Sing entries: (1) no
solos, (2) 40 percent of each group
must participate, (3) each group
is required to sing one fraternity
or sorority song plus one other
song of its choice, (4) practice
time has been limited to three
weeks. ' ,
The uniform practice time has
been set for all participants so
that- the performances will be a
better measurement of the ability
of the individual groups. To in­sure
variety in the program, the
rule against duplication of. songs
will be strictly enforced.
The following changes pertain
to entries in the skit division: (1)
practice time is limited to three
weeks, (2) each group will pre­sent
a rough draft of their skit
for approval two weeks before
| performance, (3) the final script
must be presented for approval
one week before the performance.
This year all skits will follow
one general theme which has been
carefully chosen by the Campus
Capers committee.

Changes aid Auburn co-op system
By JERRY RODEN
Auburn University has 350 stu­dents
enrolled in the Cooperative
Program administered by Auburn
Engineering Extension. T h e se
students spend alternate quarters
off-campus working with 70 in­dustrial
firms in the Southeast,
in the near Southwest and at
various locations in Central and
South America.
They earn enough money from
this work to defray a consider­able
portion of the expense of
their college educations. How­ever,
contrary to popular assump­tion,
allowing the student to earn
his; way is not the primary ob­jective,
of the Cooperative Pro­gram
as it is now constituted at
Auburn.

"The Cooperative Program ex­ists
primarily for the purpose of
providing a better engineering
education for those that partici-.
pate in it," says Engineering Ex­tension
Director Charles Gearing.
"It provides many benefits to the
students and companies partici­pating
in it and to Auburn, but
all other benefits and objectives
are and must remain secondary
to that of improving the quality
of engineering education for co­op
students."
Engineering Dean Fred H.
Pumphrey, Mr. Gearing, and
their associates revised the Co­operative
P r o g r a m several
months ago, making changes con­sistent
with the stated purpose
of the program and with Dean
Pumphrey's dictum that "All ac­tivities
of the School of Engineer­ing
must be educationally cen­tered
and designed to improve
the quality of engineering edu­cation."
Following are changes
instituted:
1. Cooperative students a re
now in the program for five, in­stead
of six years. A new stu­dent
completes two or three quar­ters
in school before beginning
his work assignment and must
during this time demonstrate his
scholastic potential for an en­gineering
curriculum. The co-op
student also spends his senior
year completely in school resi-
Every Girl

dence. Thus, alternate quarters
of study and work occur from the
latter part of the freshman year
through the junior year. As a
result the co-op student com­pletes
a normal four-year curri­culum
in five years and at the
same time gains about two years
of practical experience in his cho­sen
field.
2. The Director of Engineering
Extension arranges the co-opera­tive
job for each student and
makes certain that each job af­fords
experience closely related
to the student's educational ob­jectives.
A student that seeks to
plan his own cooperative work
by contacting a company before
he enters school may be wasting
his and the company's time. For
that student, regardless of job as­surance
by the company, must
qualify scholastically before en­tering
the cooperative program
and his proposed job must meet
the test of providing appropriate
experience in the field of study
for which he qualifies.
3. The Cooperative Program is
now subject to closer supervis­ion.

Pro-rated funds
seen as possibility
for '60 budget
Auburn officials are working on
the 1960-61 budget. Facing pos­sible
pro-ration of state funds,
they have instructions to do ev­erything
possible to maintain pres­ent
salary scale and positions, to
be conservative in adding new
staff members and to keep main­tenance
and equipment requests
as low as possible.
These facts highlighted instruc­tions
given by President Ralph B.
Draughon, executive vice-presi­dent
David W. Mullins and busi­ness
manager Ingram, to those in
charge of preparing budgets at a
meeting Monday morning.
"It is suggested that we base
the teaching fund budget on an
estimated fall quarter enrollment
of 7,700 undergraduates and 900
special and graduate students,"
suggested Dr. Draughon.
The directors and deans are re­quested
to have their budgets for
July 1, 1960 through June 30, 1961
in the president's office not later
than Monday, Feb. 29.

An Unwelcome Visitor Returns
After a two-year absence, Asian flu is
again moving toward Auburn.
Anyone who was here when it hit pre­viously
will not have to be urged to take
all preventive measures available. They
will remember the students who suffered
in the fall of '57. Although college physi­cians
and nurses worked tirelessly then,
t h e infirmary could not handle everyone
and after the wards and halls were filled,
students were treated and sent back to
f r a t e r n i t y houses and dorms.
Many were sent home for as long as
two weeks. Flu made the entire quarter
miserable for many persons. After re­covering,
some became ill again trying
to catch up in their classes.
College authorities are attempting to
avoid another situation such as that one.
The infirmary has vaccine on hand for
everyone wishing to be inoculated, but ex­posure
to the disease must not come until
20 days after the shot. It is therefore im­perative
that all students receive shots as
early as possible.

A Problem With A Promise
In announcing an evaluation from
w i t h i n as part of its immediate aims, Au­b
u r n has opened up a vulnerable spot for
a t t a c k from all q u a r t e r s of criticism. The
announcement carries t h e implication that
when the period of self evaluation is ended
all the problems will be solved, all the
funds appropriated, all the students grad­uating
with a two point average, and for
once everyone concerned will be content.
It is q u i t e possible that the announcement
was not meant to convey such unrealistic
meaning, but further possible that it will
be accepted in that spirit of optimism. The
self-study will be no miracle cure-all but
at most a realistic diagnosis, provided the
specimen can be objectively and subjec­tively
investigated; and lack of subjective
investigation usually rings the death knell
for any attempt at self-study.
Amid all the administration's plans for
a bigger and better Auburn the internal
evaluation program would seem to be the
most useful and economical; if properly
conducted in the spirit of a religious re­t
r e a t it promises to be the most valuable
with respect to the idea of Auburn as des­cribed
by Registrar Charles Edwards, ". . .
a university rooted deep in t h e liberal arts
t r a d i t i o n and the spiritual quality of a
denominational college, motivated by the
spirit and purpose and will-to-serve of the
land-grant-college . . ." The atomic cen­t
e r and additions to Cliff Hare Stadium
are assets, to be sure; but they contribute
l i t t le to the university in t h e way of real,
deep rooted improvement. Far better in
t h a t respect would b e a study of the value
of compulsory attendance in view of cur­r
e n t scholastic value and student attitude,
or of t h e shameful need for remedial cour­ses.
As presented, t h e internal evaluation
p r o g r am would consider problems of such
nature, problems whose solution wouid"
make Auburn a better university if not a
bigger one.
Such problems as those stated seem to
demand subjective study. More accur­ately,
the fact that a new l i b r a r y or more
classrooms are needed is no problem as
such, it is a fact and a problem in acquisi­tion,
economics if you prefer point blank
realism. The differentation between the
problems of subjective and objective na­t
u r e forms the basis for criticism of the
self-study program. Some will feel that
one is more important t h a n t h e other, some
will fail to see one or the other as a prob­lem.
On this sounding board the value of
t h e program will be tested and criticised
w i t h the future direction of A u b u r n in the
balance. If the dominating idea coincides

Plainsman offices are located in Room 318 of the

The Plainsman is the official student newspaper of
Auburn University and is written and edited by respon­sible
students. Opinions published herein are not neces­sarily
those of the administration. Publication date is
Wednesday and circulation is 7,700.
The Plainsman is represented by the National Adver­tising
Service.
w i t h that of Mr. Edwards, there will be
no doubt as to the direction. In like man­ner
will the future enrollment of Auburn
be determined; those who do not like its
direction will go elsewhere.
The proposed scope of the p r o g r am is a
questionable feature, and it seems to be
t h e result of a likewise questionable opti­mism.
Auburn may well be too big for
such a program to encompass administra­tion,
faculty, and students. It may be that
t h e effect will' be similar to our federal
government whose agencies probe with
t h e wild abandon of a blind surgeon
seaching for an appendix in t h e chest cav­ity.
The necessary means to promote an
interest in this program throughout the
e n t i r e student body, and to b e effective it
must be in-toto, constitute a major prob­l
em in itself. Nor as yet has there been
any official indication of t h e proposed line
of self-study to be pursued by the student.
A good place to start would be to set up
the purpose of t h e university and its rela­tionship
to the individual student, giving
the student an opportunity to compare his
reason for being h e r e w i t h t h e university's
reason for offering h im its facilities; if the
two do not coincide a lot of excess baggage
could be shed before the university bogs
down, provided of course t h a t the student
is willing to admit his values. Before the
student can begin his end of t h e self-study
program he must have some idea as to
what he is studying for. If a program
such as this is to be effective and survive
the fickleness of self-study it must be un­veiled
within the group concerned.
It is quite possible that even with a
lack of universal participation much good
can result from the program, but only if
enough people who believe in it will sup­port
it. The value of its success is inesti­mable;
the chance of its success is specu-lative;
the validity of its purpose is ob­vious;
the idea behind it is praiseworthy.
All this should be enough to promote a
more widespread particpation, other than
that which will necessarily be required by
t h e administration of the various depart­ments.
The program seems to be an approp­r
i a t e way of beginning a n ew decade, echo­ing
as it does t h e optimistic note of t h e rest
of the world'. Its successful completion
would r a n k Auburn as a top contender for
a mythical A l l - A m e r i c a n University
award, real and lasting first-in-the-nation
honor. In any event the attempt will
prove most interesting.—Byrd
A New Threat?
Exiles who have formerly worked for
t h e Cuban government repeatedly warn
that Fidel Castro's regime has passed the
pink stage and is darkening rapidly.
Many times since t h e 26 de J u l i o vict­ory,
the American press has given the
bearded revolutionary the benefit of the
doubt regarding his communist leanings.
Some have said that his aims were com­pletely
nationalistic.
"It would be a mistake," t h e y have said,
"to consider Castro a communist. Every­one
thought of Nasser in the same light
during his early administration."
But according to Human Events, a news
commentary published in Washington,
Castro is far from the sincere nationalism
of Nasser.
Now get this.—Well informed sources
have told Human Events that about 300
foreign Red Officers and technicians (in­cluding
50 from Red China) are now work­ing
on Missile Bases in the Oriente pro­vince
of Cuba.
On J a n u a r y 12, Dr. Emilio Portuondo, a
former Cuban diplomat and reportedly a
f i rm friend of the United States, strongly
warned of close relations between Red
China and Cuba.
To those who along with us consider
Red China a greater t h r e a t t h a n the U.S.S.
R., these facts must indeed be shocking.
A Chinese communist missile base within
two-hundred miles of the United States
seems almost too fantastic.
If such a base is under construction,
Premier Castro is as un-natiohalistic as
Benedict Arnold. And like the ill-fated
Tory, Castro has betrayed his own coun­t
r y by placing Cuba under the U.S. like a
bumblebee under an elephant's foot.
The question often arises as to
whether the current college popu­lation
is more liberal or more
conservative than that of a given
past generation. No doubt thefe
were generations more or less lib­eral
or conservative, but the ques­tion
seeks an answer not in terms
of comparison, but in terms of de­finition
of today's academic popu­lation
— administrators, teachers
and students. The question is not
always asked idly, and the an­swer
has deep significance to the
thinking of some. The answer is
important for the purpose of de­ciding
the role of the academic
population in relation to the other
prime movers of society, of orien­ting
the academic potential with
respect to the direction that soc­iety
is moving, of determining the
strength of academic persuasiv-ness,
and of permitting the aca­demic
units to justifiably main­tain
a position on major issues.
The difficulty in fulfilling these
purposes is realized when investi­gations
reveal the lack of unity
the college population — the in­consistency
of ideals between
factions; the almost unbreachable
gap left by narrow specialization;
arid, on the student's part, a sus­ceptibility
to idealistic fads. In
this respect the academic popula­tion
loses much of its uniqueness.
Liberalism is certainly a very
real attitude that is arrived at
through belief in certain ideals.
Generally it centers around a be­lief
in the individuality of man,
the concepts of absolute human
freedom, and a belief in the val­ues
of progress and change. Con­servatism
is essentially the oppo­site,
but the difference is often
one of degree rather than kind.
In common use liberalism is little
more than a label, one that is
often chosen in a momentary de­cision
to assert one's stand on a
particular issue. Little thought is
given to a complete understand­ing
of the liberal or conservative
attitudes on other than the im­mediate
point in question. Too
often a professed liberal finds
himself in a hprocritical position
when the chosen label is extend­ed
to other issues. This serves to
illustrate that these idealistic la­bels
are often misapplied and
more * bfteh' misunderstood. 'It
would seem that because of the
nature of the academic popula­tion,
there would be more ap­propriate
considerations for the
applicability of these labels to
their ideals. This is not always
the case, and thus a true evalua­tion
of the ideals of even the iso­lated
segments of the academic
population is hampered with the
result that the above mentioned
purposes cannot be fully realized.
The importance of holding lib­eral
or conservative ideals is bas­ed
on the function of that which
professes the ideal. For the school
it' determines the curricula that is
offered; the quality of student
that is accepted; the area of in­fluence
of the school, which is
further affected by the ideology
of other institutions; and the fu­ture
development of the school.
These are the things which make
a school. The school is made by its
ideology, and the ideology is
made by those who operate the
school. An example of this is the
difference between public and
parochrial schools. But even this
difference cannot be explained in
such simple terms as liberal and
conservative. It would seem then
that both ideologies can exist
Within the framework of a large
institution such as a church or
state.
The modern university offers
varied pursuits to the student,
and generally leaves the student
on his oWn to choose those pur­suits
of his liking. It also leaves
the student to form his own ideo­logy,
and this because of its own
ideology. As a result the student
body, or those of it that profess
to any ideology whatsoever, pick
either a conservative or liberal
label. It is not necessary that
they have a common aim, or even
a very definite aim, only that
they categorize: themselves. This
is usually done on the basis of
what is most popular at the time,
and with some regard to what
may have been the condition in
\ previous age.
If by chance they are broad-minded
about sex, as so many
seem to be, there is no choice but
liberal as an, ideology—however
illiberal they might be in other
areas. This is particularly evi­dent
in the south where conser­vative
traditions abound. The
young student dares to have a
liberal concept of one phase of
activity, while still adhering to
conservative traditions of his na­tive
area. There are a few with
ideals of deep-seated liberalism,
but in most cases hypocrisy is
evident if not intended. It seems
evident, even for the student, that
before a label is accepted a de­finition
should be arrived at. It
seems further evident that for
a student in the stages of devel­opment
and transition a label is
so much extra baggage that only
impedes that development. One
does not choose a label and work
to make it fit; one is, however,
labeled with that which fits what
one is. The former seems more
often to be the case with the stu­dent.
A profession of liberalism has
slowly grown on the university
campuses; so much so that liber­alism
has become, almost always
has been, associated with youth,
academics, and new ideas. There
are times when liberalism be­comes
more apparent; yet it is not
a uniform thing, varying as it
does regionally and profession­ally.
Auburn as an example does
not seem to be overly occupied
with superficial labels. There are
no great liberal groups or liberal
movements, neither is there a
sentimental conservatism. Per­haps
Auburn is in a stage of tran­sition
from one ideology to an­other,
perhaps the student body is
not overly impressed with being
labeled, or perhaps the point has
been reached at which neither
ideology is dominant. Conse­quently
there would appear to be
on the Auburn campus a stag­nancy
that would appall a lover
of categorization, such as most
contemporary s c e n e analysts
seem to be. Auburn has its liber­als
and its conservatives in a vari-gated
student body, just as in the
faculty and administration; but
the open profession of ideology
is not one of their accomplish­ments.
Yet one often hears of a
university or college with a
strongly liberal student body.
One's values will dictate just how
important this sort of publicity is.
Those of the teaching profes­sion
are guided in the presenta­tion
of a subject by their ideology.
Within any one department the
ideology will vary, both in kind
and degree, among the teachers
of a particular subject. This in it­self
is a liberal phenomena, and
of inestimable value to, the stu-.
dent who thus is subject to a
healthy cross section of ideas. No
doubt, among the professors there
is a more clear cut idea behind
the definition of their particular
ideology. And again, there is no
doubt that the faculty of a uni­versity
lacks unity, a deficit that
may keep the initial question
from being answered and the en­suing
purposes from being ful­filled;
but this a safety valve on
the academic engine — perhaps
slowing progress, but preventing
academic disintegration due to
too much speed on a one way
track. The value of a professor
to his students lies beneath what
he teaches and in the realm of
how he teaches it.
It could be said of the admin­istration
that to permit the above
mentioned phenomena requires
some degree of liberalism. As the-powers-
that-be, the administra­tion
will make the decision on
how their school is operated, and
in this their ideology will dic­tate
the result; and that result
is, in effect, the power of the
world.

I'm wild and loose and loads
of fun,
So many naughty things I've
done.
The boys all stomp and shout

To know the fury of my love.

I slipped out of my pad and
reelpd down the filthy, dingy al­ley,
stumbling through the debris
and natural rubbish an alley at­tracts
and makes part of its decor.
A single thought set itself apart
from my mind and drove my body
with the brute strength of a task­master.
I must reach the end of
the alley; just to the end of the
alley, then I could see for myself.
Relentlessly, tormentingly, I was
driven on by that inner voice.
Hesitantly I advanced another
step, warily testing the uncertain
footing afforded by the myriad
mountains of trash. Then a sense
of urgency injected by that mys­terious
desire disclaimed my timi­dity
and I bullishly went forward
only to crash resoundingly on the
earth, dizzy from over-exertion.
Bit by bit I regained my senses
and became aware of my sur­roundings.
A steady stream of
ants, uninterrupted by my pre­sence,
went freeway style down
the blackened wall over my out­stretched
hand, and scurried into
a. minute crack between two
bricks. Probably a subway home,
I thought, as a new line of the
insects emerged from the same
crack and marched back along
the instinctive path to take the
place of those who had just left.
An hour later I had estimated the
suburban population of this par­ticular
colony at fifty to a hun­dred
thousand and I was impress­ed
by their number.
Again the urgency forced me
on. I pulled myself up on a bar­rel
and rolled to the other side,
that much closer to my goal. My
fall was broken by a pile of filthy

As a public spirited ninety-six

time and energy exploring many
of the notions that are too readily
taken for granted. The results
have been informing, if not nau­seating.
I pass them on in all hu­mility;
my services to mankind
may be invaluable, but I am not

sincere conviction that they will
be unquestioningly accepted as

Auburn Players score
despite weak vehicle
The opening of "Papa Is All,"
directed by Telfair Peet, showed
once more the excellence of the
Auburn Players. The cast and
direction, in fact, were superior
to the play itself, a rather mech­anical,
contrived piece of w o rk
which did nothing but live up to
its billing as a comedy.
Discussing the play, Professor
J. B. Ranney of the speech de­partment
noted that one of the
most interesting features of the
play was the language. The en­tire
cast, with one exception,
spoke with a Mennonite accent
which was nearly perfect. It was
this that gave "Papa Is All" many
comical aspects.
Billie Jean Walker, as the
mother who could never quite
convince herself that Papa was
all, was excellent as she rang­ed
from comedy to pathos. Anne
Tyler, a newcomer to the Players,
was equally good as the defiant
daughter who had a desire to be
a little "worldly."
A violent, tyrannical Papa, ably
performed by Don Thieme, was;
so completely cruel that the aud­ience
was extremely pleased when
he was supposedly disintegrated
by a train. Perhaps the best role
in the play was that of Mrs. Yo-der,
a ridiculous gossip whose
portrayal by Barrye Ingram was
one of the brightest points of the
evening. Completing the cast
were Wyatt Deloney as Jake and
Ted Richards as State Trooper
Brendle.
The sets and lighting effects
were exactly right for the somb­er
Mennonite home with its lack
of sinful conveniences. Every­thing
was set up with the port­able
equipment which will be
used on the road.
"Papa Is All," while not a deep
or dramatic work, is slanted to­ward
f a m i l y entertainment,
which is probably the reason it
was chosen to take on tour. How­ever,
only good acting prevents
it from talking itself to death in
places.
During this quarter the Players
will open in approximately four­teen
towns throughout Alabama
and Georgia.
wooden pencil at the exact same
time, the vibration would crumble
the building to dust. This refutes
the old myth that it "would take a
major fire to demolish the build­ing.
Actually because of its age
the structure has seemingly pet­rified,
a conditon which only such
a vibration as previously describ­ed
could affect.
Referees and umpires of sport­ing
events are not really blind.
Actually good vision is a require­ment
in their profession. The
cause for this misconception is
that they wear opaque false eyes
over their real ones. They cannot
see through these eyes and thus
make an occasional error. They
are made to wear these false eyes
by wives who do not want them
looking at the cheerleaders dur­ing
time-outs or while a play—or
something—is in motion.
Movies are not really better
than ever. It only seems that way
because the rest of life is lousier
than ever.
Animals are not smarter than
people. Give an average dog a
slide rule and he'll bury it. Give
one to an average man and he'll
knowledgably ask what it is you'd
like him measure, As for the aver­age
woman, she knows that a
slide rule is the measure of your
ability to provide for her in the
manner in which she would like

The large bulbulous structure
in west Auburn is not a water
tank. It was originally intended
to be one, but by a united frater­nity
effort it has been transferred
into a gigantic enclosed still with
pipelines running to all cold wat­er

The infantry is not that part of
a hospital where infants are kept.
It's that part where tired, aching
feet are stored.
And finally, falling before the
powerful shot, the most disillus­ioning
item of all, or so it seems
to me: grades are actually indi­cative
of ability and attitude in
scholastic work. We have been
self-hypnotized to the opposite
belief. But they really mean
something. Our snug little world

me from remembering that

With a surge of power, I
cracked both eyes and saw two
counterparts in the head of a dear
friend. I rejoiced silently in the
meeting for I didn't want to wake
him,-if, by chance, he was sleep­ing.
The way was now clear enough
for me to crawl onward, and this
I did with an overwhelming re­surgence.
F i g h t i n g , clawing,
scratching over the last leg of my
journey, I took heart in the vastly
shortened distance to my goal.
Thus, faith renewed, I tumbled
out of the alleyway and stretched
flat on my back to seek the an­swer
for which I had none. At
long last, I had made it and now
I could know what before I could
only surmise.
The mid-morning sun glared
through the overcast sky and
with it came my message. I glor­ied
in my newly acquired know­ledge,
and rose to spread the
news. With a super-human effort
I wheeled and fled the light back
into the alley. I retraced my
steps reminiscing from time to
time on what it had looked like
before. Back I sped into the deep
recesses, dark and comforting. A
cellar doorway loomed before me.
I tumbled down some steps and
passed through into my pad. I
opened my mouth to spread the
words to my fellow Beats who
had joined with me on the pre­ceding
night.
In a flash all the glory and
honor of my discovery was gone.
Someone else must have told
them. . . . I cried. The words I
would have said came out among
my tears. I sobbed, "The light-disk
is out; it's time for nap. Like
man, sleep!" But someone had
told thern. They slept. I fell ex­hausted
to sleep with them.

Toughmindedness
Once, in the
early morning
of his life, a
s a n d y - h a i r ed
little boy play­ed
and romped
in t h e sand-lots
of his na­tive
v i l l a g e,
even as other
little boys the
world over. Care was a stranger
to him and he little knew what
fate had in store for him.
But, as the lad emerged from
childhood to man's estate and
thence to full maturity, he be­came
acquainted with care and
knew the crushing weight of re­sponsibility.
The hand of Destiny
was upon him—and he became a
great man—and he walked with
kings and potentates—and the na­tions
of the world did homage
unto him.
Then, after having served his
country faithfully and well, and
having received all of the honors
any man could desire, he might
have sat himself down under his
own apple tree to husband his
strength and watch the rest of
the world roll by. But he couldn't
do it, because Destiny had an­other
mission for him to perform.
So, this modern Jason set forth
on a long and torturous voyage
to seek the Golden Fleece of
peace, knowing full well that the
effort might cost him his life—
but it was a calculated risk, for
he was a dedicated man and he
knew the sinfulness and waste­fulness
of war—and he took the
risk boldly.
The peace-hungry peoples of
the world welcomed him, and
they knew him, and they loved
him—and his stature waxed great
in their eyes—because he had
demonstrated to them the tre­mendous
power of Christian
charity when combined with
sensible toughmindedness.

APPAREL OFT PROCLAIMS THE MAN
The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon we will be
shedding our mukluks and union suits and putting on our
spring finery. And what does Dame Fashion decree for the com­ing
season? ;
(Dame Fashion, incidentally, is not, as many people believe,
a fictitious character. She was a real Englishwoman who lived
in Elizabethan times and, indeed, England is greatly in her debt.
During the invasion of the Spanish Armada, Dame Fashion-not
yet a Dame but a mere, unlettered country, lass named
Becky Sharp—during the invasion, I say, of the Spanish
Armada, this dauntless girl stood on the white cliffs of Dover
and turned the tide of battle by rallying the sagging morale of
the British fleet with this stirring poem of her own composition:
Don't be gutless,
Men of Brtyiin.
Swing your cutlass,
We ain't quittin'.
Smash the Spanish,
Sink their boats,
Make 'em vanish,
Like a horse makes oats.
For Good Queen Bess,
Good sirs, you gotta
Make a mess
Of that Armada.
You won't fail!
Knock'em flat! :
Then we'll drink ale
And stuff like that.
>-... k iw
As a reward for these inspirational verses Queen Elizabeth
dubbed her a Dame, made her poet laureate, and gave her the
Western Hemisphere except Duluth. But this was not the ex­tent
of Dame Fashion's services to queen and country. In 1589
she invented the egg. In 1590, alas, she was arrested for poach­ing
and imprisoned for thirty years in a butt of malmsey. This
later became known as Guy Fawkes Day).
But I digress. Let us get back to spring fashions.
Certain to be popular again this year is the cardigan (which,
curiously enough, was named after Lord Cardigan, who com­manded
the English fleet against the Spanish Armada. The
sweater is only one product of this fertile Briton's imagination.
He also invented the ball-peen hammer, the gerund, and the
molar, without which chewing, as we know it today, would not
be possible).
But I digress. The cardigan, I say, will be back, which is
cause for rejoicing. Why? Because the cardigan has nice big
pockets in which to carry your Marlboro Cigarettes—and that,
good buddies, is ample reason for celebration. Do you think
flavor went out when filters came in? If so, you've got another
smoke coming. I mean Marlboros—all the rich, smooth flavor
of prime tobaccos plus a filter that really filters. So slip into
your cardigan and hie yourself to ypur tobacconist for some
good Marlboros. They come in soft pack or flip-top box. Cardi­gans
come in pink for girls and blue for boys. \ s> ieeo M.I sbuimu

smoker, try Philip Morris. If you're a television watcher

name—The Auburn Knights Or­chestra.
Most Auburn students have had
the pleasure of hearing the
Knights at one time or another—
either at the Homecoming Dance,
the Beauty Ball, the IFC Dance,
or pep rally dances here at Au­burn.
But the work the Knights
do locally is only a very small
part of the business of this top
college band. Every y e a r the
Knights have steady bookings all
over the South and have a work­ing
area of about 500 miles around
Auburn. With such a large area
in which to work, it has been
necessary for many years to have
a bus owned by the band itself.
Any Auburn Knight can tell you
many a hair-raising story about
misfortunes with the bus, b ut
without it, it would be impossible
to work over such a large area.
Through the years, the Knights
have maintained a fine reputation
by keeping high standards of per­formance
and playing up-to-date,
but danceable music. This repu­tation
has helped many former
Knights get into some of the top
name bands in the country. Ex-
Knights have played with Glenn
Miller, Ray Anthony, Woody Her­man,
and Les Brown—to name
just a few. The Knights are al­ways
in demand to play for fa­mous
entertainers while on tour
in this area. Last year they ac­companied
June Christy both at
Auburn a n d Mississippi State.
This year they will accompany
Joni James at several southern
colleges, and at the Peanut Festi­val
in Dothan, they have been
featured with Miss America.
This year's vocalist is Toni
Tennille. Toni has a finished
and professional style that few
college singers possess. She is al­ways
well, received wherever the
Knights go. The Man up front
leading the band is Bobby Boett­cher,
and the business manager
is Herb Edwards.
Through the years there have
been several hundred musicians
who have played' with the Knights.
From Auburn they have gone into
many different walks of life.
Three years ago, at Homecoming,
several Knights alumni gathered
about thirty former Knights for
the f i r s t Auburn Knights re­union.
This has grown into an
annual event, and present band
is always on hand to play for the
old grads. This year at Homecom­ing
the Reunion was in Colum­bus,
and Knight alumni were ga­thered
from all over the country.

Regular Admissions
By MARJORIE KIRK
The female population of Au­burn
spends the majority of. its
time in that maze of brick build­ings,
walks and flower beds
known as the quadrangle. The
variety of activities that take
place in this haven of the coed
are amazing. Many stories could
be written with every setting tak­ing
place within its boundaries.
Boys invade the quarangle daily,
only to be chased away at the
end-of-permission time when the
quad is zealously guarded by a
single male, the night watchman.
Sometimes they come back with
the protection of a crowd, but
very seldom do they penetrate the
brick walls after the great exodus.
Most boys venture into the quad­rangle
only for the pleasure of
the company of one of its in­habitants.
Sometimes a group, in­fatuated
with the Auburn female,
wanders about singing up to light­ed
windows where feminine ears
are sure to hear and heed.
After the boys leave, the dorms
are great towers of light for an
hour or two. The girls have a
settling-down period before go­ing
to bed when talk about the
men is rampant. Talk and excite­ment
invade even the rooms in
which some of our heroines are
trying to study. There is the noise
of showers and singing and typing
Then, one by one, the lights blink
off until only the midnight oil
of some more industrious students
light up the faces of the buildings.
A quiet settles over the dorms
and they appear almost unin­habited.
The girls who live in the dorms
might be broken into major
groups which are only a super­ficial
classification of the many,
many cliques. The groups could
be called the rule-breakers, the
rule-makers, and the rule-gripers.
Rules and regulations are very
much a part of the coed's life.
From morning to night she is told
where she can go, what she can
do, and how long she can do it.
Myriads of meetings are held to
decide new rules and to keep her
informed of them. A big political
system is set up to pick out the
rule-makers. The rule-gripers en-clude
almost every girl.
A lot of the griping concerns
food. The dining hall, perched like
a church in the center of the
quadrangle, is the meeting place
for all the groups. The girls stand
in long lines for their meals. The
food is discussed at great lengths.
The cliques pull tables together
so their groups can maintain unity
while out among the hoards. A
thousand girls, eating in one large
room can be quite a sight and al­most
a deafening sound.
One girl tried to sum up the
restlessness, the complaining at­titude
of. the girls living in the
quarangle. Her theory was that
the conformity is stifling. She
said that if you cut off a wall on
one of the dorms it would look
like a bee hive, each girl doing
the same thing at the same time.
Even if life in the quadrangle is
well regulated, it's certainly var­ied
enough to be interesting.
Everyone should visit the great
rectangle at least once, whether in
the bright, ivy-league Fall, the
dark and moody Winter, the light
and laughing Spring, or in the
long, lazy Summer. Yes, many
stories could be told about this
great melting-pot of the campus.

"Dating in New England, Brit­ain
and a few other countries long
years ago, involved the bundling
bed. In the small cottages of that
day, heating and lighting were at
a premium during the winter
time. So, when the young man
came 'a courtin', a board was laid
down the center of the young
ladies bed, and there, wrapped in
blankets and separated by a small
partition, they had their date!"
Miss Gloria Talbert paused at
this point in her lecture, "Social
Customs Around the World," for
the ringing laughter from her
varied audience. Miss Talbert, a
counselor of the Student Guid­ance
Center, continued her talk at
the International Relations Club

customs on today's Auburn cam­pus.
After the talk, the foreign
members of the IRC asked ques­tions
about campus customs, then
some told of dating customs in

UPS AND DOWNS OF AUBURN BASKETBALL
For those of you who are interested in Auburn baskektball and
statistics, this column will prove to be a tastily digested morsel of
congested facts.
Basketball started here on the Plain back in 1932 and has con­tinued
to survive through 26 SEC seasons. Overall our teams have
won 276, lost 226 for a 54.9 win percentage.
Not a spectacular record to be sure, but its good enough for a
','bunch of plow-accustomed farmers playing in an undersized barn"
as some high society folks from upstate have been known to mutter.
Counting only conference games the Tigers hold 10 team season
records. These prove something . . . just what you'll have to decide
for yourself—perhaps we've had "the fewest" as you will find be­low.
AUBURN CONFERENCE SEASON RECORDS
Fewest field goals Aub. 6 vs. Fla. 3 (16-11) ,
Fewest foul goals 0 Ga. vs. Aub. (36-31) 1941
Most fouls committed ._ 37 Ky. vs. Aub. (109-79) 1954
Fewest fouls committed— 3 Tech vs. Aub. (54-32) 1938
Fewest points by winner.— 16 Aub. vs. Fla. 11, 1933
In SEC tournament play, which was abandoned after the '52
season, the Tigers added a couple of records . . . "lowest" and
"fewest."-

COACH EAVES ADDS SUPER STRATEGY
Auburn basketball was traveling at around the .500 clip until
a gray-haired Tennessean, Joel Harry Eaves by name, straddled
the back of our so-so Tiger and began to put his cage knowledge
to use in behalf of Auburn.
Evaes is now midway through his 11th year at Auburn and dur­ing
this time he has compiled a 143-76 record. Following his great
1958 season, which included a 64-63 win over NCAA champion Ken­tucky
and a second place birth in the SEC, he was voted "Coach of.
the Year" in the conference.
Auburn's brightest basketball days were during a 30-game win
streak in the 1958-59 season—this is one accomplishment that we
will always be proud of.
All-in-all our basketball picture is on the upswing. With a var­sity
that's playing their hearts out every game against oversized
opponents and a tall batch of solid freshmen, Auburn should con­tinue
to pad the win column and provide Tiger followers with plenty
of smiles.

Skyscraper Vanderbilt, team­ing
with desire to fulfill its
pre-season potential, storms in­to
the Sports Arena at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday for an SEC dogfight
with Auburn's smarting Tiger.
Come Tuesday the home foe will
be Georgia Tech, hungry for the
War Eagle scalp after a 66-59
Jacket loss in Atlanta, Jan. 19.
Against the dwarfs of Coach
"Snow White" Joel Eaves, the
Commodores will send four
monsters to the starting post.
Forwards Ben Rowan and Larry
Banks stand 6' 5" and 6' 6" res­pectively.
Guard Jack Pirrie is
6'-5", and center Bill Depp is
6'-7". Guard Bobby, Bland, at
5' 10", rounds out the Commo­dore
starting unit. Bland leads
Vandy scorers with an 18-plus
average. Reports disclose' that
this fellow adds "outside", ef­fectiveness,
to a tough "inside"
club.
Vanderbilt, even for its over­whelming
height, has been an
inconsistent team all year. Pick­ed
in the SEC's big three before
the campaign started rolling, the
Commodores have won only two
conference games while drop­ping
three. However these set-
Ray Groover—looking sharp
backs were dealt the Nashville
men by toughies Georgia Tech,
Kentucky, and Tennessee. Last
time on court the Commodores
gave SEC leader Tech a terri­fic
battle before losing 74-66 in
overtime on Atlanta hardwood.
The overall record on these in­vaders
stands 9-5.
Tuesday at the Arena, Auburn
will be out to duplicate the ster­ling
Atlanta performance which
resulted in the nationally sixth-ranked
Jackets' second loss of
the season. To beat Tech in this
SEC encounter, the Dwarfs must
once more defense conference
scoring leader Roger Kaiser,
who was relatively ineffective
in the non-SEC Atlanta meeting
of these two teams. After pop­ping
32 against Vandy, a good
AU defensive job held this big
Tech weapon to 16. Dave "The
Duke" Denton is another fellow
who can kill anybody on any
given night. The Kentucky Duke
played his usual great floor
game and looped through 20
points against the Eavesmen a
week ago.
How Auburn Beat Tech
"We zoned Tech a good bit,
and it paid tremendous divi­dends,"
commented Eaves after
his charges had salted away the
win which sportswriters figure
is the SEC's greatest upset thus
far this season. "We made every
shot count and rebounded well.
Auburn, of course was psycho­logically
ready for that game!"
Ray Groover, as adroit a stu­dent
of the game as may be
found on SEC courts, offered his
interpretation after returning
from Atlanta, "We were unus­ually
flexible in that ball game.

needed them most. D a ve

Saturday Surprise
Perhaps a little down after
the enormous physical and men­tal
effort required to take Tech,
a tall Georgia team outpushed
outscrapped, outrebounded, and
outscored Auburn 68-59 in Co­lumbus
Saturday night. The loss
was Auburn's second in five
SEC decisions and third in all
games, against 10 wins.
"They beat us with a great
rebounding job and inspired de­fensive
play," said Coach Eaves
in the Sunday aftermath. "The
loss left us at 6-3 on our long
January road trip. That wasn't
bad at all, but of course it does
not mean that we'll do any bet-'
ter here at home now. We're in
a critical position as far as any
championship talk goes. Of
course we'll continue to take
'em one at a time from here on
out. It's nice to try doing it at
home for a change though!"

As Auburn Frosh Pound Dogs, 70-58
BY JIMMIE DYAL
Sports Coordinator
Auburn's freshman team up­ended
the Georgia freshman
squad last Saturday to give the
Baby Tigers their fifth win in
six outings.
The frosh took an early lead
and continued scoring with a
well-balanced attack. Georgia
had several capable boys such
as high scorers Weathersby 18,
and Ademek 17, but Auburn
was not caught napping. Half-time
found the Bulldogs trailing
by the score of. 37-28.
Those giving Auburn a help­ing
hand in the points column
were Layton Johns, 6'7" C, Lar­ry
Chapman, 6' G, and Billy
Tinker, 6' 2" F. Johns scored 16
points, blocked six shots in the
second half, and did his share
of the rebounding. Tinker also
came through with 16 points and
Chapman 10. Tinker and Chap­man
combined to show the Bull­dogs
some fancy ball stealing.
Georgia tried desperately to
close the gap in the fourth
quarter, but Auburn would not
give in. With 5:10 remaining
and the score 58-53, Larry
Chapman hit four foul shots &
Burnett connected with a long
field goal pushing the Tigers
further into the lead.
Auburn's frosh unit boast
wins over Alabama and Geor­gia.
They have had only one de­feat,
an overtime play with
Tech where the Engineers came
out the better by a scant two
points.

"My Greatest Thrill"
McNair Win-"Swede's Thrill"
Grapplers 7—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1960
BY COACH ARNOLD UMBACH
To determine what particular experience in
a man's life was his greatest thrill is an impos­sible
task. No one particular happening stands
out in my mind, but I have had many exciting
and rewarding thrills.
. My family lived in a small Oklahoma town
and it was decided that I should attend South­western
State Teachers College in Weatherford,
Okla. While majoring in education at Southwes­tern,
I played guard on the football team.
Because of my desire to play football, I was
chosen all-state guard for two years and captain
oft the' all-state team.
After finishing my course of study at South­western,
I attended Colorado State and received
my degree. It was here that my love for wrestl­ing
blossomed. Under the brilliant coaching of.
E. C, Gallegar, who has prehaps the best record
in the.nation, I was able to win the state Mid­dleweight
wrestling title for four consecutive
years): 1924-'27.
Upon graduating from Colorado State, I be­gan
my career as a high school football coach in
the state of Oklahoma. During 14 years of foot­ball
coaching, my teams at various schools, main­tained
an impressive 74 per cent win average.
Perhaps my first thrill was in 1931 when the
team I was coaching became the State Cham­pions
of. Oklahoma.
A coach, whether high school or college, al­ways
takes pride in his boys and I have a few
that I was more than proud of. 17 of my boys
were chosen state champions and three of this
group went on into college play—receiving na­tional
honors.
From 1941-44 it was ziz boom baa for William
and Mary, but since '44 it's been War Eagle at
dear ole Auburn. I accepted an Auburn offer as
end coach in football and have never once re­gretted
my decision.
About six months after my arrival, I was ap­pointed
head of the Auburn physical education
department. Coaching football and being head of
the department was too much for any one man,
but I definitely did not want to quit coaching. To
remedy the situation, I asked to coach a wrestl­ing
team. Permission granted and thus the' birth
of another Auburn sport—wrestling.
Auburn began her wrestling with a not too
impressive 1-3 record. But as the old saying goes,
a poor start usually brings a better finish. This

is so true in Auburn's case. The wrestling team
at present has a 100 win 14 lose 1 tie record and
has produced 73 SEC champions.
My first really great thrill came while I was
wrestling coach here at • Auburn. Richard Mc­Nair,
my heavyweight specialist, won the national
heavyweight NCAA Championship of the U. S.
Along with McNair, Sonny Dragoin, Don Man-trone,
and Caroll Keller all placed 4th in NCAA
competition. To take a boy who has had little or
no experience and make him a national cham­pion
is every coaches' dream.
Another great thrill came in 1954, when I was
elected President of the American Wrestling
Coaches Association. My wife and boys were as
pleased as myseif when. I received this honor.
Coach Arnold Umbach has carried Auburn's
colors to victory on many occasions and we, the
Auburn students, wish him continued success.—

Dick is a transmission engineer with the Pacific Tele­phone
and Telegraph Company in Seattle, Washington. He
joined the company in June, 1956, after getting his B.S.E.E.
degree from Washington State University. "I wanted to
work in Washington," he says, "with an established, grow­ing
company where I could find a variety of engineering op­portunities
and could use some imagination in my work."
Dick spent 2% years in rotational, on-the-job training,
doing power and equipment engineering and "learning the
business." Since April, 1959, he has worked with micro­wave

The PKA squad, coached by
Florida Five star Billy Jordan,
continued to serve notice of
their statute by ripping through
DC, 52-32 for their second con­secutive
runaway f e a t u r i ng
more than fifty PKA points. For
the ten-deep Pikes, guard Wally
Nail popped 20, and ex-varsity-ite
Tommy Henderson cleared
the boards, while adding 14
markers.
Guard Joe Woods of SPE, an­other
former Joel Eavesman, led
the way to a pair of runaway

Left Snow White with 7 dwarfs
warned all opponents of its
"sleeper" status by rampaging
through TKE 86-9 for one of.
the highest point totals ever
accumulated on the Plain. Guard
Luke Bloodworth looped in 23
to lead the onslaught, but two
more "Southern Gents" cracked
20 and another made the dou­ble
figures. Guard Henry Whea-ton
displayed 20 for his night's
work, and Plainsman managing
editor Jim Phillips, KA for­ward,
popped 20 more. Gigantic
center Charlie King added 15.
With two sharpshooters named
Marsh and Kirk blitzing the
nets for 20 and 16 markers,
respectively, the Panzer-like
troops from Auburn Hall I
smeared Division E, 68-28, in a
real eye-opener. Alpha Psi
turned in the upset of the week,
stopping strong ATO 39-38. The
Florida Five, featuring Graves
Centre men Billy Jordan, Mai-
Ion Kent, Jackie Burkett, and
Philadelphia Eagle ace Jerry
Wilson got a scare from Delta
Upsilon and star Deward Sisson

Frederick Was Great Rebounder;
With Bad Knee, Still Paced Squad
AUBURN (59) GEORGIA (68)
P T P T
BY JIM PHILLIPS
Managing Editor
(First of an all-sports series)
"Who is Auburn's basket­ball
player of the decade in
my opinion? We've had some
great athletes on the Auburn
hardwood during the fifties,
but one man has a definite
edge on the rest—Rex Fred­erick."
Those were the words
of Tiger Coach Joel Eaves
last week as he named Big
Hex Auburn's Cager of the
Decade.
"Rex," said Eaves, "never
had a bad night on the
boards. In three seasons of
SEC play, that's really an ac­complishment.
He had excep­tional
speed for a 6' 5" boy.
You know there wasn't any­body
on our squad who could
move faster than Rex before
his knee began to ail him."
"Snow White" continued to
laud his prize p u p i l and
present aide (head freshman
basketball coach), stating, "A
great characteristic of that
guy was his ability to play
any position on the team. We
didn't have to stick Rex be­neath
the boards all the time.
At 6' 5", you'd think that's
the only place he'd belong.
But with his speed and ball-handling
ability, it wasn't
rare at all to see the big man
bringing the ball down court
for us."
Another principal conside­ration
leading to his selec­tion,
according to Eaves, was
Frederick's ability to rally
the 1958-'59 youngsters. Al­though
Rex's knee was in ex­cruciating
pain all year, he
led the team in rebounding
for a third consecutive win­ter
and averaged 12.7 points
per outing. Leading Tiger
scorer Jimmy Lee clipped
along at only a 13.1 pace last
campaign. Eaves considers
Frederick's n e v e r-say-die
spirit of that season a val­uable
inspirational factor in
the sterling 20-2 Tiger rec­ord
and eighth-place nation­al
finish.
Manager Jerry Hart room­ed
with Rex a year ago when
the knee was in constant
pain. "The night before our
game with Alabama in the
Birmingham Classic, Rex
couldn't sleep. The knee was
killing him. I guess I was
worried sick over Rex going
through all that and what ef­fect
too it might have on us
the next evening. But he
shook it off and went out and
hit 19, rebounded every bit
as tough as usual, and just
generally lead Auburn to a
run-away and the Classic
title." "._..
Eaves added,' "If Frederick
didn't have" the shots, he'
wouldn't shoot. He c o u 1 d
have scored like a madman if
he liked, but Rex played for
one thing—to win. He was a
smart player, exceptionally .•
smart in fact—and he really
loved the game. Rex is also
one of the nicest guys you'll
meet." -
Frederick, "The Good Guy
Who Won" holds four ..all-time
Auburn cage records.
His career total scoring of
937 is tops as are his season
marks of 15.3 rebounds per
game (1957), and 325 re­bounds
in a single year
(1958). Against SMU in 1958,
Frederick grabbed 27 re­bounds
for a game record. .
At the present, of course,
Rex, who came to Auburn
from Corner, Alabama, makes
the Plain his home. He's
coaching the frosh basketeers
so well that it'.looks as though .
Coach Frederick may some­day
be superior to that great
player Rex we used to cheer.
