Why are some girls prouder

You see it in her eyes-but the reasons aren't all roman­tic
ones. Her diamond ring is an Artcarved. This means
it meets rigid standards of excellence in cut, carat
weight, color and clarity.
Nor is this simply a verbal promise. Artcaryed's written
guarantee explains how the exclusive Permanent Value
Plan lets you apply the full current retail price toward
the purchase of a larger Artcarved anytime, at any
Artcarved jeweler throughout the country. You will be
proud, too, of Artcarved's award-winning styling, like
the Evening Star shown here. To be sure it's an Art­carved:
Look for the name inside the ring, and ask for
your written Artcarved guarantee.
Of course, being engaged is wonderful, but sealing the
engagement with an Artcarved ring makes it more
wonderful than e\ei-forever!

Festival Of Fine Arts Begins Program
Two-Week Program Highlights
Music And Dramatic Offerings
By JIM DINSMORE
Assistant Features Editor
When the showers of April have fallen and the May sun
rekindles the spring spirit, then folk long to go to festivals.
And so for the first time Auburn is presenting the Festival
of Fine Arts, beginning Monday, May 1.
Auburn's contribution to the bevy of May festivals that
— occur every year looks to be quite

an event. Undoubtedly it will be
a tradition-setter, for the Festi­val
of Fine Arts is scheduled to
be an annual affair. The Depart­ments
of Music, Art, and Drama­tic
Arts joined with the Auburn
Union Fine Arts Committee to
create from no existing precedent
a cultural festival which will
offer a variety of outstanding ta­lent
at its cultural best. Carolyn
Egge, Chairman of the Fine Arts
Committee, and two of her sub-chairmen,
Sylvia Lee and Myrna
Cumby, have toiled especially
hard in getting the festival off
the ground and closer to the last
stage—time-honored tradition.
The festival is really a festival,
offering everything but colored
balloons and decorated tents.
There will be a tune for every
taste, with the music ranging
from Bach to Brubeck. The Au­burn
Players will perform "Stage
Door" and Dr. Myron C. Madden
will lecture on "Spiritual Foun­dations
for Marriage and Family
Life"—all a part of the Festival
of Fine Arts. This culture will be
quite easy to obtain, being absol­utely
free to the Auburn students.
The festival's program will run
a very-full 11 days, with some­thing
planned for every night
along the way. The first night,
May 1, will find the Auburn Or­chestra
playing the classical music
of several concertos. The next
night will feature a concert by
the Auburn Knights, "one of the
most accomplished and popular
dance orchestras in the South."
Senora Renard will run her ex­perienced
hands along the eighty-eights
as she performs a piano
recital the night of May 3. Senora,
born in Santiago, Chile, later stu­died
at the National Conserva­tory
of Music and the Stern Con­servatory
in Berlin. Nov/ a mem­ber
of the Auburn music faculty,
she has played in Washington and
New York.

ON THURSDAY, May 4, the Au­burn
Mixed Chorus will sing out
"Elijah," an oratorio by Felix
Mendelssohn. That same night the
Auburn Players will open their
four-day stand. "Stage Door,"
featuring a cast of 32 and a crew
of four, is the Players' spring of­fering.
On Friday, the Auburn
Woodwind Quintet will sound out
the music of Haydn and contem­porary
artists.
On Monday, May 8, the lights
in the Union Ball Room will be

On Tuesday, May 9, a chartered
bus will take University students,
faculty, and interested towns­people
to . Birmingham for the
Metropolitan Opera's performan­ce
of "Martha." That same night
a vocal program featuring Ma­dame
Lilly Justus accompanied
by Bette Miller will be held oh
the Langdon Hall stage.
WEDNESDAY afternoon Dr. My­ron
C. Madden wil begin a series
of three lectures on "Spiritual
Foundations for Marriage and
Family Life." Dr. Madden is Pre­sident-
elect of the Southern Bap­tist
Convention on Counseling
and Guidance. That night two
Auburn freshmen, Francis Lapp
and Phyllis Philips, both of whom
have received much acclaim for
their past performances, will pre­sent
a music recital. Dr. Madden
will close out his series with two
lectures the next day.
And that will end the 1961 Fes­tival
of Fine Arts. But it will only
begin something which is destin­ed
to become a major part of
Auburn's activities, something
which should add much to the
cultural side of Auburn Univer­sity.

Library Construction
Moves At Rapid Pace
Construction of the new library
is progressing rapidly, despite the
inclement weather of the past few
months. The columns of concrete,
42 inches in diameter, have all
been set, and soon the concrete
foundations for the first floor will
be poured. The new library is ex­pected
to be completed by June 1,
1962.
Funds for the library will ex­ceed
$2 million dolars. This is the
cost ony of the building itself,
however, and does not include lib­rary
equipment. The Auburn De­velopment
Society has contributed
$787,000 for new books for the lib­rary,
which will enable 110,000 to
125,000 volumes to be added. An
approximate $450,000 is needed
for equipment and furnishings of
the new building.

Wake Up ...
MAN HAS broken the confines of his na­tive
planet and ventured into the limit-less
bounds of space. Ordinarily, the epoch-beginning
trip of Russia's Yuri Gagarin
would be met with only universal celebra­tion,
but in the West, it can only be met
with some consternation.
The first Sputnik in 1957 brought out the
fact that the Soviet Union was fast over­taking
the United States in technology, and
indeed had already surpassed us in some
areas. Russia's man in space shows that the
technological gap has certainly not dimin­ished,
and if anything has probably in­creased.
In other recent developments in the cold
war, the Cuban problem has become more
critical, the Laos crisis is worsening daily,
the Algerian situation seems as far as ever
from solution, and all of the old trouble
spots are still with us. It appears that the
Communists are nibbling away the world
bit by bit while we stand and watch with
a mighty impotence.
But Auburn has set a new world's record
in bed pushing.
While we push beds, the Russians push
pencils and come nearer and nearer to to­tal
world domination.
Not that there is anything wrong with
bed pushing. It is probably a great and
glorious sport. Our crime as a society, how­ever,
would make Nero's famous conflag­ration
overture pale into insignificance if
we fiddle while the whole free world burns.
\. We are beseiged with fanatics of both
ihe left and right. We see on one side the
fellow travelers and those who scream to
"ban the bomb;" and on the other side
those like the John Birch Society who erode
the ideals for which we are supposedly
fighting by the vehement ignorance of their
fight against Communism.
People, we are in trouble, serious trouble.
We tend to berate important Russian
achievements and point a black finger of
guilt toward them for being "atheistic ma­terialists."
We snicker at editorial cartoons
which depict a Russian spaceship blasting
off over squalid houses and hungry peas­ants.
We point with pride to our high stan­dard
of living. However, we as a nation
are no less "atheistic materialists" than the
Communists if we pay idiotic lip service to
democracy and Christian ideals while sac­rificing
them on the dual shrine of the Al­mighty
Dollar and the High Standard of
Living.
The Plainsman will probably be listed
under the naughty column of the "prophets
of gloom and doom" by this editorial. We
think, however, that its is high time that
Americans woke up.
Reapportionment
THE REAPPORTIONMENT issue is with
us again, just as it has been ever since
the adoption of Alabama's constitution in
1901. A worsening situation has been in ef­fect
since that date, in which Black Belt and
other counties which have remained sta­tic
or actually lost in population have kept
the same number of representatives in the
state legislature which they held in 1901.
Now, after 60 years of constant growth
by Birmingham and other metropolitan
centers in the state, a Black Belt voter has
many times the representation of an urban
voter. This situation is undemocratic, un­necessary,
and wholly uncalled for.
The same Alabama solons who cry loud­ly
for state's rights and constitutional gov­ernment
on the national scene have for 60
years refused to uphold the state consti­tution
which they swear to uphold on tak­ing
office. The Alabama constitution calls
for a reapportionment of the state legis­lature
on the basis of population after each
decennial census. Yet Alabama has not had
a single reapportionment since 1901.
This can only be explained in one way—
the Black Belt legislators have been de­termined
to maintain their state dominance
by riding roughshod over the great ma­jority
of the people of Alabama.
Two plans have been offered for consid­eration
at the coming session of the state
legislature to supposedly remedy this sit­uation.
Neither is acceptable.
These plans only offer a makeshift ar­rangement
by which the overall size of the
already unwieldy legislature would be in­creased.
They do not offer a really fair re­apportionment.
Legislators who are in fa­vor
of a really just and equitable represen­tation
of the people of Alabama in the leg­islature
should join the power-hungry
Black Belt solons in defeating these moves
and hold out for real reapportionment.
Income Tax ...
WITH THE increased emphasis by the fed­eral
government on aid to education, one
obvious and painless means of help has
been largely overlooked.
There seems to be little logic in giving
federal loans and scholarships to students
with one hand, while with the other hand
taking money away from them through in­come
tax on summer earnings and part
time jobs.
To remedy this, school expenses should
be made deductable from federal income
tax, just as ordinary business and other
necessary expenses are deductable. T h is
would insure that aid goes to really needy
students, those who are willing to get out
and work to get an education. It would not
lead to federal control of education, the
bugaboo which bothers so many Souther­ners.
The actual money lost to the government
through this plan would be insignificant—
the help to the needy student who must
earn all or a large part of his school ex­penses
would be great. The co-op students,
who often pays $300 a year or more in in­come
tax, would find it an especially great
boon.
Congress should give this plan much
thought when considering aid to education.
It would be simpler and give more help
where it is really needed than systems of
more direct aid.
A Bigger Cage...
WE VIEW with pleasure the presence of
"War Eagle III" at several recent Au­burn
athletic contests. The bird has great
potential in promoting the Auburn spirit,
and has shown some of this potential wher­ever
he has appeared.
However, problems have arisen. The ea­gle
has outgrown his cage and needs a new
one. Of course, this new one will have to
be rather large to give a bird this size pro­per
freedom and exercise. It will cost a-round
$500.
This would be a worthy project for ser­vice
clubs and other organizations to un­dertake.
The amount is probably too great
for one group to take on, but a coopera­tive
effort would make raising the money
relatively easy. Buddy Davidson, president
of A-Club, has agreed to help organize the
drive, and those wishing to help should
contact him.
No 'Skeletons'...
IT SEEMS that in some quarters there are
reservations and misconceptions regard­ing
the writings of John O'Brien contained
herein, and indeed, the actual motivations
and intention of the Plainsman in airing
this columnist's views at. all.
There is a tendency in one' camp to im­pulsively
shout "rabble rouser" in indig­nation.
In the other camp, there are those
who relish at the thought of finding a skele­ton
in someone's closet, or merely creating
controversy for the sake of controversy.
Each spring, the attention of the campus
is intensified in the direction of the Stu­dent
Government, and quite naturally so,
what with elections, a change-over in per­sonnel
throughout the structure of SGA.
An unbiased reading of O'Brien's com­ments
would reveal a conscientious writer,
and possibly serve to make one more mind­ful
and interested in the potential of Au­burn
Student Government.—Boettcher.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
'Full Of Sound And Fury Signifying.. /?
Opinion Of Letter To Publications Board
Editor, The Plainsman:
"Full of sound and fury signi­fying
nothing!" This is my senti­ment
toward the letter to the
Publications Board published in
The Plainsman last week by
James Abrams. My greatest con­cern
is the manner in which he
misrepresents the truth, twisting
an involved story to meet his mis­construed
judgement.
First, I must agree only with
Abrams' primary point that the
qualifications board should be
more strict in evaluating the ex­perience
of candidates for publi­cation
positions. Yet, it so hap­pened
on this past occasion that
neither candidate that came be­fore
the board was overburdened
with experience. Business Man­ager
of The Plainsman is neither
greatly rewarding in salary nor
glory, evidenced by the decided
lack of interest in the position.
Only two people were even in­terested
enough to consider try­ing
to qualify for the job. Yet
one under this title has the op­portunity
to serve Auburn well
through work, hard work. I in­tend
to do just that.
Second, I must n o w pass
through Abrams' opinionated cri­tique,
correcting the most glaring
errors. But, before I do this, per­haps,
a little background should
be laid. The first news editor ap­pointed
by editor Jim Phillips re­signed
early in the fall quarter.
With this position vacated, it was
a considerable strain to produce
the paper. Shortly thereafter,
someone was appointed because
he was eager to work—long hours
without remuneration. I was he.
Because I had no opportunity
to work with the previous news
editor, I approached the job in­experienced.
After conferences
with a past editor of The Plains­man
and a list of duties from the
present editor, I stepped into my
new job.
The news staff was nil. The few
experienced writers had quit
along with the past news editor.
I began building a staff while
writing most of the news myself.
The few w h o showed interest
were spasmotic. One week, they
turned in copy late, the next
week, they turned in none. Yet
the news continued to be writ­ten.
Abrams states in his letter, "let
me present the case of Tommy
Fowler . . ." where more prop­erly
he should have said, "let me
present my case . . . " I would like
to assure you that I "quit" The
Plainsman news staff once and
only once. Perhaps my prior noti­fication
that I was planning to
vacate my position was termed
"quitting" by Abrams. Several
weeks later when I did quit, edi­tor-
elect Jim Bullington asked
me to reconsider and remain at
least until the close of the quar­ter.
For this reason, I told Bul­lington
that I would stay and
help him where I could but that
I did not want to continue as
news editor.
"No news is good news," this
was written after I spent an en­tire
afternoon trying to locate
newsworthy assignments. One of
the first steps taken by a news
editor in his search for news is
to contact the News Bureau in
Samford Hall. As a rule, they
write a large portion of the news
for The Plainsman since the news
at Auburn is a full-time job for
them. On the preceding occasion,
when I contacted the Bureau,
"Tex" Williams informed me that
my list of prospective news stor­ies
had already been covered by
them. When I finished that eve­ning,
the main stories had been
written by the News Bureau, and
several minor ones I had written
myself. Consequently, on this uni­que
occasion, there happened to
be nothing to assign . . . hence,
"no news in good news."
In reply to the fact that I
caused the staff "long, long
hours," I can only say that I have
been working with the paper for
three years and the staff has al­ways
put in "long, long hours." I
imagine that when I graduate
there will still be "long, long
hours," simply because it is ne­cessary
to produce a newspaper.
I respect James Abrams' abil­ity
to work and get the job done,
but I am equally surprised that
he could be as one-sided in pre­senting
a story that must ob­viously
be seen from both sides to
gain a realistic picture of the
truth.
I must now make it clear that
I have no intention of annoying
you, the reader, by carrying on
a runing feud in the future edi­tions.
I have an obligation to ful­fill
at this University v and I wish
to reassure you that it will be
fulfilled!
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Fowler
We would regard Managing
Editor Abrams' letter of last
week the more authentic of these
two.—Ed.

As One For Goldwater,
Let's Set Record Straight
Editor, The Plainsman:
As one of those college students
who favor the Goldwater plat­form,
I feel it incumbent upon me
to set the record straight—lest
those students who haven't thought
about politics yet be inoculated
by your editorial with a prejudice
against the Arizona senator's
ideals. You use the phrase "his
perch far across the horizon to the
infinite right" to describe the sen­ator's
political position. Now, it
is my understanding (as a history
major) that the "infinite right"
is either a monarchy or a dictator­ship.
It would appear to me that
this is the very anthithesis of. your
statement that "Goldwater stands
for absolute banishment of the
following government policies:
foreign aid, CENTRALIZED GOV­ERNMENT,
new deals, and federal
aid to education." At the very least
you are guilty of over-statement.
Now, let me quote from the 17.
S. News and World Report (Apr.
10, 1961) analysis of the Goldwa­ter
Platform:
"FOREIGN AID: Confine aid to
military and technical assistance
to nations committed to the defeat
of Communism. No help for neu­tralist
or pro-Communist nations.
"AID TO EDUCATION: G i ve
federal taxpayers a special credit
for local school taxes, to provide
funds for school or other improve­ments
decided upon at local lev­els."
Now this obvious contradiction,
especially in the foreign aid field,
can only be accounted for in one
way: Either y o u or U.S. News
and World Report are wrong.
Your following can draw their
own conclusions.
If the students of today are
swinging to the "conservative"
views of Sen. Goldwater, then it
is because our searching minds
cannot detect that the "liberalism"
which has been so popular in the
past, has materially aided us in
the world situation. Liberalism has
led to: increased taxation, an in­creased
national debt, and an in­creased
usurpation of states rights,

Can there be any doubt why the
thinking Southerners are swing-
Experiences In Two Contrasting Student Government Offices
Showed Apparent Falacy In Our 'Representative' SGA System
By JOHN O'BRIEN
NOW, what can be done?
This topic will probably prove
somewhat less interesting to
most; will probably be met with
somewhat less enthusiasm than
was the criticism that appeared
here last week. It has been ob­served
that we are all much more
receptive to criticism of present
methods than to suggestions of
new ones . . . suggestions that
might entail some effort on our
own parts. Nevertheless, during
my exposure to student govern­ment,
I have not only observed
many of its shortcomings but
have had and heard several ideas
on possible ways to correct them.
While the following series will
necessarily include a further en­umeration
of some of these short­comings,
it is primarily intended
as a presentation of some positive
ideas for your consideration.
* * *
A FALLACY in our system of
"representative" student govern­ment
has become apparent to me
as a result of my contrasting ex­periences
in two SGA offices.
During the time that I served
as an officer in the School of En­gineering,
I became accustomed
to having my classmates say to
me . . . "Look, you're the vice-president
of this school; you're
supposed to be my elected repre-ing
to Goldwater.
Finally, let me ask you, Mr.
Editor: If you label the conserva­tive
Sen. Goldwater as a "reac­tionary"

what do you think that propon­ents

your political position?
John R. Hassler
Probably "Communist" if they
lack the perception to distinguish
between that philosophy and a
genuine desire for progress rather
than retrogression to an idealized
past, as your illustrious Arizonan
seems to want. Goldwater's views
are obviously reactionary, U.S.

Second Letter To Editor
On Faults Of Blood Drive
Editor, The Plainsman;
This is my second letter to you
concerning the "Blood Drive" of
Auburn University and what I
consider to be its shortcomings.
You delivered the first to the
proper people to have the situa­tion
checked into, and an attempt
was made to solve it, but I as­sume
that it must have failed be­cause
it was only partially solved.
Hence the purpose of my second
letter.
On March 5, 1959, I donated one
pint of blood to the American
Red Cross for which I recived a
"Donation Record." Many of my
fraternity brothers donated and
received these cards. However,
when one of them needed a pint
of blood for his mother in Bir­mingham,
he was informed that
his card was for local (Lee Coun­ty)
use and was unacceptable in
Birmingham. This I considered a
violation of the spirit in which
we donated.
Upon checking into this matter
further, I was told the same thing
by a Baldwin County Red Cross
worker and was also told that this
was true by a brother who show­ed
his card to the person in
charge of the Jefferson County
Blood Drive.
With these facts, I told the stu­dent
in charge of the '60 campus
drive of the situation that existed
and was informed it would be
checked and by this assurance
donated a pint of- blood to the
drive along with over 30 of my
fraternity brothers.
For this donation I did not re­ceive
any type of credit as far as
I can tell and the majority of my
brothers did not.
In the recent drive I did not
donate but I placed my name on
a list to receive credit for the
last pint I had donated and was
told it would be looked into. I
have heard nothing from the Red
Cross.
Consequently, I think t h at
something should be done to rem­edy
this situation. I understand
that the Red Cross issued cards
which are good at any place this
past time but there is still a lot
of room for improvement appar­ently
when people have to go to
the trouble to receive credit for
donating to the Red Cross Blood
Drive and then not receive credit.
As a possible remedy I should
suggest that this event be check­ed
into by the student govern­ment
to make certain that the
Lee County Chapter of the Amer­ican
Red Cross is a trustworthy
and efficient chapter of this good
organization.
Yours for a better Auburn,
Charles L. Feltus
sentative in student government;
I don't like the way that thus and
so is being done and I think that
it should be your job to look into
it for me."
On some occasions I was able
to accomplish what was asked
. . . on others I wasn't. The im­portant
point, however, is not
what I accomplished but that I
had been asked to accomplish it.
This, I believe, sprang from the
fact that I was in close contact
with the interest of the students
whom I had been elected to serve.
On the other hand, during my
entire term as "Senior" Senator
not one Senior approached me
with any complaint, idea, sugges­tion,
or comment that he wanted
me, as his representative to bring
up before the SGA.
* * *
WHY?
One reason might be: The
School of Engineering, or the
School of Agriculture, or any
other school here on campus is
comprised of a body of students
with common interests, common
goals, and common ideas. Through
various school organizations they
meet together from time to time
to discuss these things. They be­come
acquainted with one an­other's
personalities and abilities
through class-room contact. Dur­ing
a school election you less of­ten
hear the question, "who in
the world is this candidate?" Nor,
after a school election, "who
should I see to get this done for
me?"
But what are some common in­terests
among Seniors? What
goals and ideas do they have in
common? When does the senior
class meet together to discuss
these things? Who, really, does a
Senior Senator represent? I was
one for a year without knowing.
Probably a more important rea­son
is this: Why should a student
direct a complaint to the SGA
when it has become increasingly
apparent that it will not act on
complaints? Before I lead myself
astray following this trail let me
point out that if the student body
took a more active part in the af­fairs
of student government; if
the student actually knew who
his personal representative was;
and if the representative, in turn,
actually knew that his actions in
the SGA were being followed
with interest by his. classmates;
then, perhaps, we wouldhbtjhaye
to deal with this question.'
* * * •
BUT, unfortunately, we do.
I have suggested at several for­mal
meetings and numerous in­formal
get-togethers of SGA of­ficials
that the Student Senate
study the possibility of reappor­tionment
. . . of electing senatorial
representatives from the various
schools rather than from the aca­demic
classes. To say that I
haven't reached first base with
the idea would be an understate^
ment, If the suggestion had been
considered and rejected as im­practical
I would have no com­plaint.
But the reaction, typical
of many SGA officers being ap­proached
with some "new" idea,
has been, "sounds good, we'll
simply have to look into it . . .
next quarter."
As a further example of the
accomplishments of your senate
consider the following . . . I have
never been able to forget it.
Have you ever wondered why
the SGA hasn't stepped into the
girls' dining hall controversy? It
has. Almost two years ago it step­ped
in and, promptly, right back
out.
When I was elected to the Stu­dent
Senate, I was filled with en­thusiasm
with what my fellow
senators and I were going to "ac­complish
for the good of Au­burn."
At one of the first meet­ings
that I attended the chair­man
assigned committee respon­sibilities
to the various senators.
I was appointed as a committee
of one to investigate a complaint
concerning the rule requiring that
girls living in the quadrangle
purchase meal tickets at the din­ing
hall. According to the com­plaint,
many of the girls had no
desire at all to eat there . . • and,
in fact, often didn't. I was told
by my fellow senators that this
rule was based on the fact that
it would be impossible for the
staff at the dining hall to function
efficiently without it. Not willing
to accept this arid not knowing
the reasons behind this rule, I
set out to investigate what seem­ed
to be a very reasonable com­plaint.
From several conversa­tions
with various staff members
at the dining hall, I learned that
the basis for the rule must lie
elsewhere. As far as they were
concerned, the dining hall could
function just as well without it.
* . * *
SO I returned to the senate
with the report . . . in the light
of what followed, the wrong re­port.
I informed them that the
excuses for the rule that they had
given me were unfounded and
proposed that we give the matter
our serious attention . . . to deter­mine
not only the real reasons
for the rule but what, if anything,
might be done to do away with
it. Instead my fellow senators
voted to suspend the investiga­tion
and dissolve my "committee."
This was my introduction to
the political "facts of life" here
at Auburn. For some unknown
reason there seemed to be a great
fear of anything that might "rock
the boat." That anyone was will­ing
to question a ruling of the ad­ministration
w a s shocking. I
haven't understood to this day
what harm they thought an hon­est
question or two might do
them. At any rate my constitu­ents
were then and continued to
be completely unreceptive to
"new" ideas. I was "farmed out"
to less controversial duties. The
highlight of the remainder of my
term came when I was allowed
to organize a tea for the speakers
at ACOIA last spring. At the end
of my term I was somewhat less
than enthustiastic regarding the
accomplishments of my fellow
senators and me.
* * *
BUT WHAT the present Senate
can accomplish is another matter.
There seems to be a widespread
undercurrent of dissatisfaction
with the past shortcomings of the
Auburn SGA and a growing de­sire
to correct them that, I sus­pect,
has reached your new Sen­ators.
The Senate could, this
year, realize its potential and be­come
a powerful and effective
agent in student government ra­ther
than a rubber-stamp in the
hands of the "powers-that-be."
But it will need your ideas and
your support as well as your help
in overcoming the "do-nothing"
spirit that has pervaded SGA in
the past, if it is to accomplish
anything.
The key to the question prob­ably
lies in the fact that the Stu­dent
Senate has always been a
better indicator of the attitude of
the Auburn student body than
most of us would care to admit.
In the past it has reflected our
indifference. It can now reflect
your desire to improve Auburn
. . . if you will let that desire
be known.
700 MUCH FOR ATHLETICS???
Committee To Apportion Activities Fund;
Meeting Clearly Important To Students
By CARL PETH and ROBBIE SCLATER
THE ALLOCATIONS Committee
will meet soon to apportion the
funds from the student activities
fee for the coming year. When
one considers the total amount
of the fee, the importance of the
meeting is readily seen.
Let us examine these figures.
The total fee amounts to $7.50
per person. Of this, $2 goes to the
Union Building Fund, fifty cents
to the Contingency Fund, while
the other $5 is apportioned among
campus activities.
If the average student enroll­ment
per quarter is 7,000, the
amount which the Athletic De­partment
receives is $56,000 for
that year. In other words 100 per
cent of the student body pays
$56,000 a year for 3 per cent of
the stuent body to participate in
intercollegiate athletics. (This
approximate figure represents
members of the varsity sports
teams.)
In comparison, some 30 per cent
of the student body is allocated 7
per cent for intramural sports.
This means that some 300 stu­dents
have the advantage of us­ing
about $56,000 for varsity
sports while some 3,000 students
receive about $9,800 for intra­mural
sports.
The Athletic Department de­serves
a percentage of the stu­dent
activities fee. They are doing
an excellent job of representing
this school and the student body
in all major college sports.
. However, such a large percent­age
seems unjust.
The students are still charged
admission at the gates (even

though the rates are reduced).
The seats reserved for the stu­dents
are generally the least de­sirable.
More important is student
attendance. Figures show that
two-thirds of the student body do
not attend these events.
Investigation has revealed that
of the 17 activities suported by
the student actvity fee, the Ath­letic
Department was the only
activity that failed to present an
itemized list of expenitures in
the Student Activity Fee Project
Summary for 1960-61.
Also noted in this summary was
the fact that the Athletic Depart­ment
failed to list an amount un­der
the section entitled "Other
Income," (such as alumni contri­butions
and gate receipts.) Is the
student activity fee allocation the
only income received by the Ath­letic
Department? If not, how
much did they receive and how
was it spent?
It seems that the above ques­tions
should be answered before
the student body allocates 40 per
cent of their fee to the Athletic
Department.
The overall academic program
here at Auburn University could
possibly be greatly improved if a
complete revaluation of the stu­dent
activity fee was achieved.
While the Athletic Department
reaps in the profit the cultural
level of Auburn University suf­fers
because of lack of funds.
There is a definite need for
additional funds in the following
areas: Intramurals, Lectures and
Concerts, Dramatic Arts, and Stu­dent
Union Activities. Perhaps
there are others.
The allocations committee is
urged to revaluate the apportion­ment
of the student activities fee,

Bowling At Fever Pitch!
New Attractions Add Spke
By JAMES ABRAMS
Managing Editor
Bowling popularity today is at fever pitch! More people are visit
ing their local lanes than ever before and the recent influx of new
facilities has been astronomical.
According to Peter Elebash, manager of the local Bowl-O-Matic,
there are close to 29 million current regular bowlers.
The number of persons joining the bowling ranks in the last five
years is amazing. About five years ago, bowling had reached a sort
of standstill; it had seemingly reached an equilibrium between the
number of. persons bowling and the bowling centers available.
Then an intensive promotion campaign, primarily in the form
of TV bowling shows, provided the spark which has spurred this sport
into the top competitive ranks.
And it's not at all a bad thing. Here are a few of the more ob­vious
advantages bowling offers. First, virtually anyone can play;
only the most serious physical handicaps could prevent participation.
There are a few cities in the nation which have wheelchair leagues.
Secondly, bowling is an all-weather sport—air conditioning in the
summer, heating in the winter, you don't have to fight the elements.
Thirdly, it's relatively low-cost recreation. Finally, you are competing
with yourself as well as against others.
These are just a few good points, many more could be listed.
Scotch Doubles . . .
Many different types of contests have been initiated throughout
the country in order to add variety to the game. Typical contests in­clude
red head-pin strikes, Scotch Doubles, Moonlight Bowling, and
scores based on the most strikes, most spares, etc. Several of. these
innovations have been introduced here, at the Bowl-O-Matic—and
student interest has been good.
Currently underway are two of these added attractions. On Sun­day,
a red-tipped pin is put into play and should the kegly strike
while that pin is the head pin he is awarded a free game.
Continuing until the end of this quarter is a contest designed
solely for Auburn students—Scotch Doubles. Each team consists of
one male and one female who alternate shots. There is no entry fee
and contest details may be obtained at Sorrento's rstaurant, sponsor
of the event, or at the Bowl-O-Matic. Weekly prizes are awarded as
well as an end-of-the-quarter grand prize and trophies.
Thus far one couple, Brenda Pitts and Van Whittman have won
the weekely event four consecutive times. Their four-game totals run
593, 646, 655, and 642.

Student Leagues
In the first half, of spring quarter competition Pi Kappa Alpha
topped the eight-team league. At the end of 16 games in the second
half/Sigma Alpha Epsilon holds a slight lead over second placers Del­ta
Upsion and Beta Pi. The SAE team sports a 13-3 mark while Delta
Upsilon and Beta Pi are tied at 12-4. Other teams composing the league
are Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Pi Epsilon, Alpha Gamma Rho, Delta
Tau Delta, and Alpha Tau Omega.
Norman Bundy, member of the Delta Tau Delta team, holds the
highest sanctioned game in this area with a near perfect 279. Captain
of the Auburn Match team, Haywood Hanna,- posted the highest series
score—612. Harold Watts, another Match team member runs second
in series high with 598.

Annual Spring Same Will Climax
Five Weeks Of Football Practice
By GORDON MURPHREE
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers will officially end spring training
workouts Saturday with the annual A-Day intra-squad foot­ball
game. Kick-off time is set for 2 p.m. in Cliff Hare
Stadium.
The Blue team will be led by sophomore quarterback Mai-
Ion Kent. With Kent in the Blue
backfield will be two more
sophs, right halfback George
Rose and fullback Bill Burgess.
Junior left halfback Jimmy Bur-son
will round out the starting
backfield for the Blue squad.
Rose is starting with the Blue
team in place of senior right
half and co-captain Don Machen
who injured his right knee last
Thursday. Machen was taken to
Columbus for an operation Sat­urday
and according to trainer
Kenny Howard the operation was
a success.
Machen's knee will remain in
a cast for two months and it will

The University of Florida will
be trying to silence the booming
bats of the league leading Au­burn
Tigers Friday and Saturday
in a two-game series at Gaines­ville
that is of the utmost impor­tance
to both clubs. Auburn, after
trouncing Georgia Tech in a two-game
series at home, leads: the
Eastern Division of the SEC by a
full game. The Tigers' record
stands at 10-4, while the Gators'
slate reads 9-5.
Florida, defending Eastern Di­vision
champs, got off to a shaky
start at the beginning of the
season, but have been playing
heads up baseball recently and
have moved rapidly toward the
top of the standings. This past
weekend the Gators swept a two-game
series from Tennessee in
Nashville by the scores of 7-5
and 6-0.
In the first clash between these
two SEC rivals this spring, Au­burn
split with the Gators at
Plainsman Park. The Tigers took
the first titlt 7-6 but dropped the
second one 10-0 behind the five-hit
pitching of C. W. Price. Price

Auburn Ahead In Eastern Division;
Ole Miss, LSU Lead Western Loop
BY DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Ole Miss Rebels, trying for
their third consecutive SEC title,
and the L.S.U. Tigers, present
leaders in the Western Division
flag race, are heading into the
stretch neck and neck. The Rebs,
after a miserable start, have come
on fast recently and have put the
pressure on the Bengals, despite
the fact that their heralded Ail-
American, Jake Gibbs, has not
lived up to anyone's expectations
this season.
While Gibbs h a s gotten only
two hits in his last 15 times at
bat, Doug Elmore, the Reb's No.
2 quarterback last fall, has pro­vided
the majority of the hitting
power along with Bobby Kilpat-rick,
an Alabama native from
Fairhope.
Mississippi swept a two game
series from Alabama this past
weekend, while L.S.U. was idle.
The Tigers moved into Tuscaloosa
Monday and Tuesday for two
games with the Tide.

would be a challenger in the
GEORGIA TECH third baseman Jerry Martin is safe at first
as Auburn's first baseman Jack Anderson and pitcher Jim Shir­ley

THE DEAN YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN
Now in the waning days of the school year when the hardest
heart grows mellow and the very air is charged with memories,
let us pause for a moment and pay tribute to that overworked
and underappreciated campus figure, your friend and mine, the
dean of students.
Policeman and confessor, shepherd and seer, warden and
oracle, proconsul and pal, the dean of students is by far the
most enigmatic of all academicians. How can we understand
him? Well sir, perhaps the best way is to take an average day
in the life of an average dean. Here, for'exampie, is what hap­pened
last Thursday to Dean Killjoy N. Damper of Duluth
A and M. -* \ :
At 6 a.m. he woke, dressed, lit a Marlboro, and went up on
the roof of his house to remove the statue of the Founder which
had been placed there during the night by high-spirited under­graduates.
At 7 a.m. he lit a Marlboro and walked briskly to the campus.
(The Dean had not been driving his car since it had been placed
on the roof of the girls dormitory by high-spirited under­graduates.)
^kwpedWeWUMp(B~
At 7:45 a.m. he arrived on campus, lit a Marlboro, and
climbed the bell tower to remove his secretary who had been
placed there during the night by high-spirited undergraduates.
At 8 a.m. he reached his office, lit a Marlboro, and met with
Derther Sigafoos, editor of the student newspaper. Young
Sigafoos had been writing a series of editorials urging the
United States to annex Canada. When his editorials had evoked
no response, he had taken matters into his own hands. Accom­panied
by his sports editor and two copy readers, he had gone
over the border and conquered Manitoba. With great patience
and several excellent Marlboro Cigarettes, the Dean persuaded
young Sigafoos to give Manitoba back. Young Sigafoos, how­ever,
insisted on keeping Winnipeg.
At 9 a.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and met with Erwin J.
Bender, president of the local Sigma Chi chapter, who came to
report that the Deke house had been put on top of the Sigma
Chi house during the night by high-spirited undergraduates.
At 10 a.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and went to umpire an
intramural Softball game on the roof of the law school where the
campus baseball diamond had been placed during the night by
high-spirited undergraduates.
At 12 noon the Dean had a luncheon meeting with the presi­dent
of the university, the bursar, the registrar, and the chair­man
of the English department at the bottom of the campus
swimming pool where the faculty dining room had been placed
during the night by high-spirited undergraduates. Marlboros
were passed after lunch, but not lit owing to the dampness.
At 2 p.m., back in his office, the Dean lit a Marlboro and
received the Canadian minister of war who said that unless
young Sigafoos gave back Winnipeg, Canada would march.
Young Sigafoos was summoned and agreed to give back Winni­peg
if he could have Saskatoon. The Canadian minister of war
at first refused, but finally agreed after young Sigafoos placed
him on the roof of the mining and metallurgy building.
At 3 p.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and met with a delegation
from the student council who came to present him with a set
of matched luggage in honor of his fifty years' service as dean
of students. The Dean promptly packed the luggage with his
clothing and Marlboros and fled to Utica, New York, where he
is now in the aluminum siding game. © isei M.I shuim.n
To the dean of students and all you other hard-working
academic types, here's the new word in smoking pleasure
from the makers of Marlboro—king-size unfiltered Philip
Morris Commander. Welcome aboard!
Western race at the. beginning of
the season, has gradually moved
out of the picture. The Tide drop­ped
to fourth place in the stand­ings
behind Mississippi State as
a result of their losses this past
weekend.
Rounding out the Western Di­vision
picture is cellar dweller
Tulane, whose record stands at
one win and seven losses.
In the Eastern Division, which
is regarded by the experts as be­ing
the weaker of the two divi­sions,
Auburn and Florida are go­ing
into the stretch nip and tuck,
with Georgia running a close
third. Auburn is a full g a me
ahead of Florida, but a c l e an
sweep of the two game series this
weekend by either team would
spell disaster for the loser.
It will be remembered that Au­burn
lost the pennant to Florida
last year in their last crucial se­ries.
Georgia, who could come on in
the last two weeks if either of the
front running teams falter, has
six conference tilts remaining,
two of these being with league
leading Auburn.
Farther down the ladder is
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Tech
and Varidy tied for last place with
a 1-8 league slate apiece.
It looks like another one of
those close finishes in the East­ern
Division • and to "hazard a
guess as to the victor in the
Western Division would be as
successful as a bunch of Cuban
Rebels.

For Two Matches With Tech, Georgia

Auburn University's t r a v el

Tech in Atlanta today and meets
Georgia's Bulldogs in Athens on
Thursday. The underdog Tiger
linksmen will invade Georgia
with hopes of avenging their pre­vious
losses to the two out-of-state
teams.
Coach Sonny Dragoin's Tigers
wil take a 5-6-2 record into Geor­gia
with hopes of finishing the
season over. the .500 mark. The
University of Georgia match on
Thursday will be the last dual
meet of the year for the Auburn
squad. .
"Although the home course ad­vantage
means a lot, my team is
due for a good day and Tech may
be in for some trouble," Dragoin
said. Tech edged Auburn in their
first meeting by a 15-12 score.
Georgia's Bulldogs are rated as
the strongest team in the con­ference.
"Georgia has six tough
men instead of only three or four,
and they should be the team to
beat in the SEC Tournament next
week," Dragoin stated. The SEC
Tournament which will be held
in Athens May 3-6, will end the
1961 golf season for Auburn.
The Tigers have met the Bull­dogs
twice this year, tieing them
the first (time 13%-13y2, and
losing the second time 26V2-V1.
In the second 'meeting of the two
teams, Morris Slingluff shot a 74

score.
Boswell and Wheatdn shot 78's

Georgia squad. The matqh was
played in Columbus last Satur­day.
Auburn had its worst day of
the year last week in Tuscaloosa,
as they fell to Alabama, 25-2.
Wally Nail shot 78 and was the
only Auburn man to score in
that meet. Henry Wheaton's dis­mal
76 was low for Auburn
against the Crimson Tide. The
previous meeting between the
two teams ended in a 13%-i3%
tie.
The Auburn freshman team
played once last week and fell to
Alabama's freshmen by a 7-5

Tech's Ed Nutting tossed the 16

Tech's Bill Ransom with 16. Au­burn's
top point makers were Cor­ky

with a throw of 175'-3". The old
record was 172'-11" set by Au­burn's
Jim Dillion in 1954.
The Tech freshman defeated the
Baby Tigers 10-6 with only first
place counting in the scoring.

Dear Mr. Diamond Buyer:
We are happy to announce that the Traub Manufacturing Company, man­ufacturers
of "Orange Blossom" diamonds, have sent us a very large selec­tion
of loose diamonds on approval. Yes, we have had stones on approval
before, but never such a complete selection.
We have diamonds in all SIZES, QUALITIES AND PRICES . . . and the
most beautiful selection of mountings you ever saw.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?
1. You select your own stone . . . you select your own mounting and
we make YOUR ring for YOU. You save the profit that would go
to the companies mounting and advertising these rings and yet
you are still getting the same ring.
2. You save because these stones are on approval to us. It cost us
nothing to have this extremely large selection to show you. We
purchase only what we sell. We can afford to sell you on a small
margin when we do not tie-up our money unless we make a sale.
3. We want to sell diamonds with this new arrangement and we can
guarantee you a savings regardless of the size or quality of stone
that you select.
4. You owe it to yourself to come by . . . let us discuss honestly with
you the different qualities and sizes of diamonds and hoy they af­fect
the price. Then you decide which diamond and mounting
will best suit her taste and your pocketbook. We can prove to you
that we can make your money go further. •

KS SOFTBALL SURPRISE TEAM;
LCA LEADS TENNIS COMPETITION
BY PEYTON McDANIEL
Intramurals Editor
With only two weeks remaining
in softball competition no team
has clinched a playoff spot. Sev­eral
teams are still in the running.
Those being DTD, KS, PKA, SN,
AGR, LCA, SP, and AP.
One of. the big surprise teams
in softball this year has been KS.
KS squashed out an 8-7 decision
over league 4 favorite PKT to
take the lead in that league.
Hewitt's fifth inning homer
sparked his club while the big man
for PKT was McKinley, who had
a sixth inning homer. With every­one
on the team hitting, KS
tramped TC 30-2 in a lopsided
game.
With Martin pitching and every­one
hitting the ball, SN remained
undefeated by romping OTS 14-1
and PKP 12-0. Fast bailer Martin
was the spark of the SN team
striking out 10 against OTS and
15 against PKP.
AGR leads league 2 by virtue
of Watts hitting and pitching per­formances.
Against PDT, which
AGR beat 22-0, Watts hit for the
distance and no-hit the Phis. AGR
also added a 16-10 victory over
ATO to their win column.
SP, with Kirkland whiffing 8
beat SPE 7-4 to keep their record
unblemished. Cater led SP with 2
singles in 3 attempts. PDT was
SP's next victim by the score of
13-2. Kirkland's fast ball was
working overtime as he struck out
15 Phis.
LCA had their hitting show as
they beat TX 19-4 and DC 23-4.
PKA still remain undefeated in
league 3 as they stomped TX 16-0
and DSP 15-12.
DTD handed PKT its second
defeat of the year by the score of
15-9. Eddleman homered to lead
DTD to a six-run seventh inning.
Goodwin homered and singled to
lead PKT hitting. With Wall go­ing
3 for 5, DTD beat TKE 12-6.
In fraternity tennis competition
LCA is leading in league 1. In
league 2 SN and ATO battle it
out this week. SC and PDT are tied
for top spot in league 3. In league
4 AP, SPE, and KS are in a three-way
tie for first place.
The 'favorites in horeshoe com­petition
are, DTD, TC, SPE, PKT
and PKP.

Back off the injury list will be
quarter-milers Bobby Webb and
Kenny Winter. Webb, a mainstay
on the mile .relay team for the past
two years, and Winter, who also
runs the hurdles, missed last
week's competition due to pulled
leg muscles.
Both boys are fully recovered
from their injuries and will be
able to compete in this, the final
meet before the conference meet
May 12-13.
This year the SEC meet will be
held in Auburn.

8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, April 26, 1961
Baseball Team Splits Pair With Vandy
Continued from page .7)
while walking only one man.
The first game with Georgia
Tech here Saturday was as wild
and woolly an affair as ever any
witnessed on the Plain. The Tiger
growled, the Yellowjacket buzz­ed,
and they squared off for nine
innings of hair-raising combat.
When the dust had finally settled,
Auburn was on the long end of a
24-13 score.
Jimmy Boyd started the game
for Auburn and was relieved by
Porter Gilbert, who pitched 2Vii
innings and was credited with the
victory. Bill Breakfield pitched
the last inning.
The Tigers heartily welcomed
the Jackets to the Plains with
two runs in the first and eight
in the second, but the worst was
yet to come.
Tech showed their run-produc­ing
machine as they scored twice
in the third, six times in the
seventh, and five times in the
eighth.
The score was 13-10 in favor
of Tech in the bottom of the
eighth inning and the Tiger fans
began yelling for a rally. They
got what they wanted and more,
for Auburn's baseball team of
1961 presented them with a 14
run inning, while sending 17 men
to the plate. Both of these figures
may well be SEC records.
The leading Auburn hitters
were Benny Catchings and Wayne
Fowler with four hits each and
Breakfield who went 2 for 2 in
the big eighth.
The final game with Tech,
played here Saturday, was pulled
out of the fire by Auburn on a
couple of timely base hits and a
spell of wildness by Jacket hurl-er
Harry Davis.
Davis had hurled 5% innings of
masterfgul no-hit baseball until
Jim Hudson slammed a solid
single to left.
The Tigers scored two runs in
the first on two errors, two walks,
and a sacrifice fly.
Tech tied it up in the third on
John Gher's walk, Billy William­son's
triple to right, and Catch-ing's
boot of Roger Kaiser's
ground ball.
With the Yellow Jackets ahead
3-2 in the seventh, Wayne Fow­ler
hit a pressure packed single
back through the box to score
three runs. The Tigers once
again lost their lead in the eighth
as Mike Tomasovich blasted a
350-foot home run.
Tech's hurler Davis tired in the
bottom half of the eighth and his
wildness cost him the game. Au­burn
scored four big runs on only
one hit, a bases loaded single by
Nichols.
Georgia Tech hitters collected
10 hits off three Auburn pitchers
and Williamson had three of
them.
The winning pitcher for Au­burn
was Bill Breakfield who re­lieved
Jim Shirley. Whitaker fin­ished
the game, pitching the ninth
inning and getting himself out of
trouble after the bases were
loaded.
