Cars On Campus
Create Confusion
BY JIM' KILPATRICK
Auburn University is graced
with almost nine thousand students
and almost half that many
cars. As anyone can see, this definitely
presents a safety problem,
especially in those areas
which are overcrowded with students
and cars. These hazard
areas demand a higher degree of
caution.
There are three main areas of
congestion: Magnolia Avenue,
Thach Avenue around the Union
Building, and the intersection of
Magnolia Avenue and Duncan
Street. Magnolia Avenue has no
traffic light to break the speed
of automobiles and regulate pedestrian
crossings.
The intersection of Magnolia
and Duncan Street at the Textile
Building is particularly dangerous.
Efforts are being made to
obtain a traffic light at this hazard
area. .
Thach Avenue, around the Union
Building, presents the same
problem of concentrated student
population a n d heavy traffic
flOW. . ' :-\
"Whether you're a pedestrian or
a driver, exercise extreme caution
in these hazard areas to uphold
Auburn's high safety rating.
VIVACIOUS SUSAN MARO
Talented Vocalist With Les Brown Band
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
Features Editor
The appearance of Les Brown and his "Band of Renown"
tomorrow night at the Student Activities Building, promises
to be an evening of varied entertainment for listeners as well
as dancers. Featured along with the Brown band will be the
smooth vocal style of Susan Maro, the singing of Stumpy
Brown, and the antics of "Butch"
Stone.
Beautiful and talented Miss
Susan Maro was chosen for the
featured vocal spot with Les
Brown because of a rare combination
which few singers actually
possess—good looks and a
real singing ability. "Most often
it seems that vocalists have either
one or the other," says bandleader
Brown, "but Susan has both."
She joins a long list of outstanding
singers who have made their
break into the "big time" on the
Les Brown Band—a list which includes
Doris Day, Eileen Wilson,
and Jo Ann Greer. Les is hoping
for great things from this petite
brunette, and is featuring her on
appearances from coast to coast.

have picked the man they believe
to be the most unattractive male
at Auburn. Each year Alpha Phi
Omega sponsors the UMOC contest
to raise money for its well-known
service projects. UMOC
last year was Tommy Henderson,
of Birmingham. Last year's contest
netted over $1700, which
went for such varied projects as
desk sets for the women's dorms,
pencil sharpeners, benches on
campus,, payment on the debt on
the campus site marker, softballs,
beautification of the main gate,
Freshman welcoming signs, and
copies of the Alma Mater. This
year's proceeds. will be spent on
an Infirmary intercom system, a
piano for the Union Building, and
campus bulletin boards.
The contest will start Thursday
afternoon at 4 o'clock with a
combination jazz festival-UMOC
rally in the Union Building cafeteria.
Here the "Ugly" candidates
will make campaign speeches and
answer questions to the tunes of
a "way - out" Union-sponsored
jazz band.
Voting will be conducted at the
polling place, also set up in the
Union cafeteria. Votes will be
counted at a penny per, with no
vote, limit per person. .
The UMOC awards will be
presented to the winning candidate,
runner-up, and winning
sorority, at the Auburn-LSU basketball
game Saturday night, Feb.
18. The winning sorority will receive
a rotating trophy which
may be kept if won three times
in a row. Both the Ugly Man and
the runner-up will receive an
engraved key. The big prize for
this year's Ugly Man will be a
date, at the expense of A Phi O,
(hot to come from UMOC money)
with Ginger Pointevint—M i s s
Greek Goddess of 1961. In addition,
he will receive a variety of
gifts from several Auburn merchants.

Chairman McCord says that
more students work on Village
Fair than on any other annual,
all-campus event. They are
drawn from all phases of campus
life at Auburn.
Early plans for the 1961 Village
Fair indicate that several new innovations
will be introduced to
increase interest in the event for
both the visiting high-schools and
the host Auburn students. The
over-all theme of decorations will
be in connection with the Civil
War Centennial, and will involve
many students. The securing of
name entertainment f o r both
nights of Village Fair weekend is
under consideration, a n d , of
course, would be of great interest
to all.
"STUMPY" Brown, Les' younger
brother, has been vocalist and
bass tromonist with the band for
several years. He has made numerous
featured appearances in
movies in past years, and has
been seen in TV skits with Bob
Hope.
Another great asset to the Band
of Renown is "Butch" Stone. According
to Les, "finding Butch
was one of the greatest strokes
of luck I've had in the band business."
In his 16 years with the
band, "Butch" Stone has held a
string of titles including comedian,
vocalist, assistant leader,
music librarian, "gloom chaser"
and now, road manager. He has
won friends the world over for
his great entertaining antics.
BLUE KEY, sponsor of thfe
Brown, appearance, is presenting
this, prime piece of.'; entertainment
as a dance-concert. This
unique arrangement will allow

Union Movie Features
Stage Success 'Kismet'
The Broadway stage success
Kismet, starring Howard Keel,
Ann Blyth, Dolores Gray, Vic Da-mone,
and Monty Woolley, is the
next free movie to be shown in
the Union Ballroom. The first
showing will be Sunday afternoon
at 2:30 and will continue
through Tuesday evening.
Kismet is the satirical- story
based on "Arabian Nights" and
tells the tale of a rougish street-poet
of Baghdad who pretends to
hold supernatural powers. Lavish
oriental sets and musical themes
borrowed from Borodin make this
film one you won't want to miss.
In the weeks ahead, look for
Audie Murphy in the Civil War
story "The Red Badge of Courage"
beginning February 26 and
"The Fastest Gun Alive" with
Glenn Ford and Jeanne Crain on
March 5th.
Detroit Symphony Third Series Offering;
Paul Pardy To Direct Monday Concert
The Auburn University Lecture
and Concert Series, in its
third offering of the season, will
present the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, under the direction of
Paul Paray, in concert at the Student
Activities Building next
Monday night, February 21.
The world-famous Detroit Orchestra,
in its first appearance
in Auburn, will present an enjoyable
program of symphonic music
heavy on the modern side. Included
will be Sibelius' Symphony
o. 2, Debussy's "Deux Nocturnes,"
Saint Saens' "Danse Macabre,"
Moussorgsky's "Night On
Bald Mountain" and the curtain-raiser,
Weber's "Overture To Eu-ryanthe."
The Detroit Symphony was originally
founded in 1914, but suffered
lack of financial support
and organization until 1951, when
sufficient backing was obtained,
and the renowned French conductor,
Paul Paray, was called to
Detroit to fill the position of musical
director. Along with Paray
came some of the world's finest
musicians.
Since 1951, the orchestra has
continued to rise in prominence
and accomplishment as "one of
the world's most powerful conductor
- orchestra combinations."
Each year it presents at least 110
concerts before a total of more
than 700,000 persons. As the goodwill
ambassador of the city of
Detroit, it tours the nation each
season. In 1959, the group was
specially invited by UN Secretary-
General Dag Hammarskjold
to present a concert before the
United Nations General Assembly
in New York. Last year, the
Detroit Symphony served as the
official orchestra for the 100th
annual music festival at Worcester,
Mass., America's oldest music
festival. It has since become the
permanent official orchestra of
that distinguished event.
CONDUCTOR PAUL PARAY
is indeed an outstanding attraction,
and merits the attendance of
all interested students. As always,
admission to a C and L concert
is by Student Identification Card.
MERCURY Records' "Classics"
label has recorded 27 LPs by the
Detroit Symphony to date. Seven
have been on the world's "best
seller" lists consistently and 11
are the "preferred" versions
selected by a jury of the nation's
top critics.
An informal survey made by
the Lecture and Concert Committee
has indicated that symphony
orchestras are perenially
the most successful concert attractions
presented to Auburn
audiences. The Detroit Symphony'
AC0IA Speakers
Are Announced
Four of the five speakers for
the Auburn Conference on International
Affairs have been named.
They are Dr. J. Riis Owre,
dean of the graduate school at
the University of Miami; Dr. William
Manger, former assistant
secretary general of the Organization
of American States; Thayer
Waldo, veteran newspaperman
and author; and Basil C. Hedrick,
assistant director of the Latin
American Institute of Southern
Illinois University. The fifth
speaker for the Conference will
be announced soon, according to
ACOIA Chairman Ronnie McCullars.
The theme of this year's conference
is "Mexico and the Caribbean
Area." It will be held on.
April 6-8.
Dr. Owre will be the keynote
speaker. His talk will give an
analysis of L a t i n American
thought. He will be followed by
Dr. Manger, a noted authority
on Latin American affairs, who
will talk' on the Organization of
American States.
Thayer Waldo, who has been
living in Cuba for the past 12
months and writing a weekly
column for a number of U. S.
newspapers, will talk on Cuba.

"I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY END
TO THE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS BUSINESS"
When Gene Segin got his B.S. in Business Administration
at the University of Illinois, he was
in touch with 8 prospective employers.
Gene joined Illinois Bell Telephone Company
because: "The people I talked to here made it
very clear that I would not be shuffled into some
narrow specialized job. I thought this job offered
the greatest opportunity for broad experience."
On his first assignment Gene was sent to Springfield
where he conducted courses in human relations
for management people.
His next move was to a traffic operations job
in Rock Island. On this assignment he was in
charge of all personnel who are directly responsible
for handling telephone calls in this heavily populated
area. Here Gene earned a reputation for
sound judgment and skill in working with people.
He was promoted to Traffic Supervisor.
Today, Gene's chief responsibilities are in management
training and development, and company-union
relations. The latter includes contract bargaining
and helping settle labor disputes.
How does Gene feel about his job? "It's a real
challenge. I'm in some of the most vital and interesting
work in the country." And about the
future—"Well there aren't any pushover jobs
around here. It's tough. But if a man has what it
takes,.I don't think there's any end to the opportunity
in this business."
* * *
If you're looking for a job ivith no ceiling on it—a job
where you're limited only by how much responsibility
you can take and how well you can handle it—then
you'll want to visit your Placement Office for literature
and additional information on the Bell Companies.
Our number one aim is to have in all
management jobs the most vital, intelligent,
positive and imaginative men we
can possibly find."

"I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU"
I know all of you have important things to do in the morning-like
getting down to breakfast before your roommate eats all
the marmalade—so you really cannot be blamed for not keeping
up with all the news in the morning papers. In today's column,
therefore, I have prepared a run-up of news highlights from
campuses the country over.
SOUTHERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Willard Hale Sigafoqs, head of the department of anthropology
at Southern Reserve University, and internationally
known as an authority oil primitive peoples, returned yesterday
from a four-year scientific expedition to the headwaters of the
Amazon River. Among the many interesting mementos of his
journey is his own head, shrunk to the size of a kumquat. He
refused to reveal how his head shrinking was accomplished.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," he said with a
tiny, but saucy grin.
NORTHERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Mandrill Gibbon, head of the department of zoology at
Northern Reserve University, and known to young and old for
his work on primates, announced yesterday that he had received
a grant of $80,000,000 for a twelve-year study to determine
precisely how much fun there is in a barrel of monkeys.
Whatever the results of Dr. Gibbon's researches, this much
is already known: What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys is
l^j^miae^ee&d/bM^tici^i^^ *
a pack of Marlboro. There is zest and cheer in every puff,
delight in every draw, content and well-being in every fleecy,
flavorful cloudlet. And what's more, this merriest of cigarettes
comes to you both in soft pack and flip-top box wherever cigarettes
are sold at prices that do no violence to the slimmest of
purses. So why don't you settle back soon and enjoy Marlboro,
the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste.
I
EASTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
The annual meeting of the American Philological Institute,
held last week at Eastern Reserve University, was enlivened
by the reading of two divergent monographs concerning the
origins of early Gothic "runes," as letters of primitive alphabets
are called.
Dr. Tristram Lathrop Spleen, famed far and wide as the discoverer
of the High German Consonant Shift, read a paper in
which he traced the origins of the Old Wendish rune "pt"
(pronounced "krahtz") to the middle Lettic rune "gr" (pronounced
"albert"). On the other hand, Dr. Richard Cummerbund
Twonkey, who, as the whole world knows, translated
"The Pajama Game" into Middle High Bactrian, contended
in his paper that the Old Wendish rune "pt" derives from the
Low Erse rune "mf" (pronounced "gr").
Well, sir the discussion grew so heated that Dr. Twonkey
finally asked Dr. Spleen if lie would like to step into the gymnasium
and put on the gloves. Dr. Spleen accepted the challenge
promptly, but the contest was never held because there
were no gloves in the gymnasium that would fit Dr. Twonkey.
(The reader is doubtless finding this hard, to believe as
Eastern Reserve University is celebrated the length and breadth
of the land for the size of its glove collection. However, the
reader is asked to remember that Dr. Twonkey has extraordinarily
small hands and arms. In fact, he spent the last
war working in a small-arms plant, where he received two
Navy "E" Awards and was widely hailed as a "manly little

who are dissatisfied with those countless
rules and regulations they label "Victorian"
. . . musty old statutes which WSGA
has failed to modernize as the years pass
on and as realism keeps on winning more
and more outside victories.
We see no reason why WSGA is not already
an arm of Student Government.
Should not this very term, Student Government,
encompass coeds and their governing
of themselves?
At the least, such transformation would
be long range. There is much red tape involved
here in changing anything. But promise
of a realistic modification of rules
and regulations five years in the future
would now appear enlightening. Such modification
to meet the mode of present life,
we think WSGA, as arm of a progressive
Student Government Association would effect.
We challenge the present organization
and its overlord administrators to
show us what they have accomplished anytime
recently in their independent status.
The Crossroads . . .
TO REITERATE our words of last week,
Auburn is being put to the test tomorrow
liight when Les Brown and his famous
"Band of Renown" visit the Student Activities
Building -for a dance-concert.
The very fact that it was a phenomenal
deal through which Blue Key shared Brown
and outfit spells but a single indication . . .
that agents of top-notch entertainers, ever
on the lookout for scheduling successful
college tours, intend to find out whether
the attendance. flop for Ralph Marterie's
appearance last month Was merely result
of a poorly publicized Monday night fluke
or a sample of the actual trend of interest
here.
That question of whether or not Auburn
wants big name entertainment has come to
be almost a cliche. Tomorrow night's gate
will give us the answer; this, agents imply
is the crossroads.
. . . And Another
ACCORDING TO Auburn Conference on
International Affairs Chairman, Ronnie
McCullars, ACOJA, like big name entertainment
here, is also at its crossroads.
Chronic student apathy toward ACOIA
has shaken its prominence with the administration,
says McCullars, and he too sees
no point in maintaining the conference unless
more active participation becomes evident
this year.
"We can't go on insulting prominent
speakers as well as testifying to our backwardness
by gathering for these intellectually-
broadening lectures only a sparse 200
students to show up in a hall that seats
easily 800 or 900," says McCullars. "Unless
students prove this spring that it is their
wish to retain ACOIA, I feel as though the
axe of administrative opinion will end the
life of ACOIA after this year."
If Auburn wishes to maintain this informative
conference, now is the time to go
to work. Round-table discussions comprise
half of the entire program, and it is delegates
who form these round-table panels.
Delegate applications should be filled out
immediately, according to Chairman McCullars.
We would hate to see this conference
shelved, but here again is a decision that
rests only in hands of the Auburn aggregate.
New 'Fair'... „
VILLAGE FAIR this year takes on a new
twist. Along the lines of the current War
Between the States Centennial celebrations
throughout the South, the theme of Auburn's
open house will be a comparison of
this institution, 1861-1961.
The popular Old South flavor s h o u ld
prove an opportunity for the entire campus
to assume a more important though
entirely voluntary role in the Fair. Men
who are non-ROTC might plan growing
beards right away. Fraternities could find
it of benefit to construct Old South exhibits
or floats in the image of Homecoming.
A gala parade too, might be planned.
Auburn and visitors alike should find
added spirit in this colorful type of Village
Fair.
Repeat Performance . . .
AFTER TOLERATING what was possibly
the most base treatment ever hurled the
way of a student emcee here, Fred Bag-gett
said after the Union's Winter Talent
Review last Thursday night, "Those three
front rows out there made it seem like 'the
hills of home.' It was something resembling
total anarchy."
Baggett and other provoked parties who
were there tell us that a centralized core
of onlookers, known to them, maintained
a steady buzz of penetrating, distracting
chatter throughout course of the various
performances. Crowning blow, according
to Baggett, et. al., was the continual jeering
the three front-rows directed at professional
Bob Richardson and his combo,
performers at intermissions throughout the
show.
We are no longer surprised that this sort
of thing is taking place here. This is in direct
parallel to the deplorable conduct of
that crowd which, among other things,
booed Athletic Director Jeff Beard during
the statewide televised Auburn-Mississippi
State basketball game last month.
Who can deny that such misconduct has
gone much too far? We imagine the only
way to stop such childplay, and even this
may be ineffective, is to start printing in
our coverage the names and social connections
of those whom we learn are involved
in that kind of tomfoolery which unnecessarily
humbles Auburn's reputation.
Chill the Freeze...
PRESTIGE OF college basketball has been
lessened immensely this season by widespread
evidence of coaches slowing the
game down to a parallel of playground
keep-away. We wonder when the NCAA is
going to step in and save this sport.
All logic stands against the rules being
such as to allow stall tactics in college basketball.
A football team has four downs in
which to do something with the pigskin. A
baseball squad has three outs, tennis sets
its score; golf has eighteen finite holes, and
even pro basketball a rule that the offensive
club must shoot within 24 seconds of
gaining possession. We wonder why colleges
don't follow the pro policy of making
a fast-moving, action-packed spectacle of
the sport.
Johnny Dee, formerly of Alabama and
now a midwest semi-pro coach, says that
a point limit wouid do much to liven up
college ball as well as make it fairer by
killing a team's privilege to stall the whole
game out until opportunity strikes. We
hope the next NCAA basketball rules conference
will intently study Dee's logical
proposal and any analogous ones. It's time
for a change.
'Eight-Thirty Cinderella'
WORLD GOES BY . . .
Average Reader Comes Home From Work, Glances At Paper
But How Much Of What Happens Does He Really Understand?
THERE ARE a great number of
items of importance to note in
the news of the week past. It is,
perhaps, a verification of what
we have suspected all along about
our age; it is moving at a terrifying
pace almost too fast to keep
up with.
I can picture the average reader
coming home from work, picking
up the paper at the door and
taking a hurried glance at the
front page.
If he is a space expert, he will
evaluate the success on that particular
day of Russia or the United
States, considering such things
as thrust, size of payload, orbital
distance, instrumentation and
possibility of recovery. But our
average reader is not an expert
on-space so he looks and grunts,
"Hmm, another satellite."
Or on that day, Kasavubu may
have clashed with pro-Communist
supporters of the late Patrice
Lumumba causing the death of
an indeterminable number of Africans
and several Europeans. An
expert on African affairs would-
By JOHN WALLACE
gain further insight into the
struggle for power in that untamed
continent, but our average
reader is not an expert on
African affairs. To him these are
two more unprounceable names
in a hazy fog of violence and
revolution.
KENNEDY REPORT
There also might be a report
on the efforts of. the new administration
to combat dwindling
gold reserves in the U.S. Trear
sury. Ah expert in economies''
would carefully consider Kennedy
proposals to restore a favorable
balance of payments arid
decide for himself whether or' not''
they would work. Or the President
might have listed some new
aims to fight recession and give
aid to depressed areas. An ecoiio-'
mist would go beyond the first
paragraphs and examine proposals
to check for inadequacies or
contradictory goals. But our
average reader is also not an economics
expert. Economic plans
are a blur of governmental whitewash
to make life hard for the
taxpayer.
Sam Rayburn's smiling visage
might be gracing the pages, exulting
over a victory to enlarge
the House Rules Committee. A
political expert would see the
long range advantages of this
move to the Kennedy forces and,
on the other hand, the battles yet
to come between the conservative
and liberal elements of the House.
But our reader knows little of
behihd-the-s c e n e politics. He
doesn't even bother to read the
stories.
' COMICS LIGHT
" 'The sports are essentially free
from undue complications, the
comics light. Train wrecks, blizzards,
murders rate a closer look
by our average reader. But the
sort of thing that his grandchildren
will be reading about in history
books years hence pass unnoticed.
Maybe the world just goes by
too fast for him to take notice.
Does it for you?
DEEP READING .. .
Let's Consider The Case Of National Crime Prevention Week
Students Should Attempt To Prevent At Least Three Crimes
SINCE THIS is my first attempt
to write for a college paper, I
want to be doubly sure that the
article is on a level that will interest
college students. Therefore
I have decided to write in slang
using as m a n y unacceptable
words and phrases as possible in
as unsightly a manner as possible.
I have selected certain topics
of interest which I feel greatly
concern every student in America
today. Since a profound discussion
of any one of them would
lose countless readers who have
gone this far looking for jokes, I
shall not indulge in any profoundness,
even if such a thing
were possible.
Let us first consider the case
of National Crime Prevention
Week. I feel that every student
should do his utmost tb prevent
crime this week. I think a goal
of three crimes prevented for
every student would go a long
way toward making the week a
roaring success.
Fpr those of you who must go
deeper I suggest preventing specific
crimes. For example preventing
the burning of Broun
Hall or preventing the theft of
the Lathe. What nobler deeds
could be accomplished in the
name of crime prevention? Maybe
even a medal could go to the
student who had prevented the
biggest crime. Everyone could
file a list of all the crimes he had
prevented that week and a panel
could select the biggest crime
which didn't happen because
some student had prevented it.
GOING DEEP . . .
If you really want to go deep
we could delve into the theories
BY ALFIE NEUMAN
of crime prevention which would
bring us face to face with those
ever-present q u e s t i o n s—must
there be a crime before someone
can prevent it and how do you
determine just who prevented
what crime? But we promised to
maintain these discussions on a
level that would be in the reach
of rhost college students.
Let us then examine another
case (not to be confused with
such other notable cases as 'of
small pox,' 'of a joint' or 'of
beer'). This case deals with the
forgery of U.S. secret documents
by propagandists in Europe and
the release of the same as 'secret
paper leaks' to alienate the peoples
of the world against the U.S.
The forged documents usually
contain reports of some particularly
distasteful action on the
pari of the U.S. which the nation's
involved must never know
abotit and which is never true.
It is.my belief that the government
is missing a big opportunity
to capitalize on the work of these
phonies and reduce the cost of
government. Since the U.S. is to
be blamed for everything anyway,
why maintain thousands of
experts in the State Department
to do things to get blamed for? If
we abolished the entire department
there would be no one to
blame and everyone would then
be friends with the U.S. It's almost
as simple as crime prevention.
I bet you didn't know that an
advertising council objected to
the portrayal of Little Boy Beard
in a certain cartoon s t r i p . It
seems that the use of this baby
by a cereal manufacturer in the
comic strip was leading people to
believe that endorsees of products
often do not use the product
and never have benefited
from the use of the product in
question even if they have used
it.
RESENTFUL OF PAST? .
Do We Have Guilty Feeling When History
01 Previous Human Relations Is Faced?
BY TOBY SAVAGE
WITHIN THE younger generation
in the Arab-Israeli world
is emerging more informed attitudes
and opinions toward their
age-old conflict. The young Arab
is beginning to learn the real
facts concerning Israel's social,
economic and political development.
The Israeli student is turn-irig
his studies from the European
Renaissance gradually toward a
more interested study of the contributions
of the Arab culture.
This movement began as alert
students started questioning outmoded
pre-war texts, and the
professors improvised answers as
best they could. The Israeli and
the Arab student now realizes
that he must be taught the truth
about the stranger in his midst.
In West Germany, however, the
student portrays a quite different
role. The German student is not
concerned with either the past or
the future, but with the need for
a comfortable seat in the present.
He is unaware, inexperienced, and
irresponsive to the gross problems
confronting his nation. This
indifference has made him more
susceptible to demagoguery during
social crises.
SHOCK THERAPY
The Geffnan students' incident
of anti-Semitism in 1959 was not
directed toward the Jews, but toward
thir own little world—directed
toward themselves in order
to shake themselves loose
from their own complacency, and
the swastika afforded expedient
shock therapy. The German student
is no longer anti-Semitic in
the most real sense, but since he
does know about the past treatment
of the Jew in Germany, his
conscience secretly bothers him
each time he is confronted with
the issue. This guilt complex propagates
an inferiority complex
which makes him defensive and
resentful toward those whom he
actually believes are right.
On the mainland of China, university
life is permeated with
tension, fear, and suspicion. Most
students want to leave the country;
they are at times allowed to
speak out about those things that
bother them, but this period is
only one set aside by the Party
to feel out the unsatisfied and to
satisfy them more directly with
the Party line. This policy of exposing
the rightist also pits a
venomous and shrieking student
body against him.
Upon evaluation of t h e se
situations of students in the
world, and after making a value
judgement as to the desirability
of each, it appears appropriate
that certain pertinent questions
be formulted that the reader may
answer for himself. Do we know
of any strangers in the midst of
our society about whom we do
not know the truth? Do we feel
a sense of guilt when the past
history of human relations in our
society is held up to us? When
we are defensive and resentful
toward those who confront us
with our history, are we so because
our guilty conscience tells
us that they are really right? Relatively
speaking, do we ever feel
the rigid discipline caused by
minority control of majority o-pinion
when we wish to criticize
and reform certain areas of our
surrounding environment?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Bidez Article In Last Issue Of 'Plainsman'
Captured Real Spirit Of Man Perfectly
Dear Jim Dinsmore,
As a friend of the Bidez family
for more than 25 years, I want to
thank you for the beautiful write-up
about Mr. Bidez in this week's
Plainsman. I have never read a
riiore fitting tribute to anyone—
you captured the real spirit of the
irian perfectly, and Lam suife.-hisj
family and other friends feel, as
I do, a deep sense of gratitude
toward you for having put into
writing what so many of us feel
but do not have the ability to put
into words.
I predict for you a real future
in writing for you have evidenced
that yon have a heart, a real
feeling for the great and the good
ih people, and a real flair for
writing.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mattie N. Ellis
* * *
Editor, The Plainsman:
After the series of letters that
graced this section of The Plainsman
of last week, I feel that I
owe the faction that they represented
an apology and an explanation.
Early in the Fall Quarter when
I developed the idea for the col-
Umh in question, it was under an
entirely different light. "Lampooning"
was originally intended
tb be a satire of contemporary
people and ideas. With a lag in
material it soon degenerated into
a series of puns and jokes that
were aimed at controversial situations.
When I realized the column
was sagging in moral ethics,
I decided to discontinue writing
it. Thus for a brief span of several
weeks The Plainsman was
void of the column and was, at
times, even substituting jokes as
fillers. By this time many people
had asked me to begin writing a
column again . . . for they enjoyed
it. So, without using completely
good judgment, I submitted the
controversial column appearing in
February 1.
I would like to apologize to those
people that I offended. Although
it was not entirely in bad taste,
I realize that parts were questionable.
It is my decision that
such a column lacks a message
and I therefore shall discontinue
it once again.
I, too, remain yours for a decent
Auburn,
Tommy Fowler
}
Editor admires the columnists
loyalty, but in all fairness it must
be said that the editor himself
was one of those "many people"
who encouraged Mr. Fowler to
resume his column.
ATTITUDE CHANGE NECESSARY . . .
Auburn's Entertainment Interest-Attendance Dilemma
Result of Local Social Things To Do And Not To Do?
fly flOBBV BOETTCHER
TIME AND TIME again I have
heard this remark concerning
activities and social life locally—
"In Auburn, you can either go to
a show, or go to a show, arid
that's it." Such comments have
not been delivered in a tone of
satisfaction for the situation, but
rather as somewhat of an outcry
of lamentation, bordering on
boredom. Not that we all sit here
for nine months out of each year
with nothing to do outside of our
studies. Far from it!
Everyone will quite naturally
agree that an urban area the size
of Auburn-Opelika cannot possibly
offer the diversity and quality
of recreation that a large metropolitan
area such as Atlanta
would. However, the presence of
an institution the size of Auburn
University in a small town can
do much to add to the recreational
and entertainment environment
of an otherwise drab locale.
Such is the case here. Various
organizations within the University
actually have vast capacities
to offer a full, year-round irienu
of varied top-notch entertainers?
It would seem most logical that
in a small town with a large college
whose student body seems
cosmopolitan, from all intentions,
Would have an eager appetite for
that menu of entertainment but,
strangely enough, there is no appetite.
To what can we attribute this
lack of campus interest in live
name entertainment which results
in local flops for some attractions
and, at the most, mild approval
for others? Why is it that,
perenially, thousands of students
prefer to see an average middle-df-
the-week movie or stay at the
fraternity house and watch the
same plot unfold for the um-teenth
time on some TV western
or detective story, instead of going
to the Student Activities
Building to see the best in live
popular, classical, or jazz enter-tainrnent?
Is it the cost to each person
that keeps our tiny Student Activities
Building from overflowing
with people at concerts? This
is doubtful. The Concert and Lecture
Series programs are free, the
IFC Dance is covered, for Greeks,
by the IFC dues.
Is the wrong kind of entertainment
being offered to the student
audience? Is it that the entertainment
sponsors are unable
to please the prevailing student
tastes? This is highly unlikely,
too. The failure of the Ralph
Marterie appearance might be attributed,
among other things, to
his lack of wide-spread popularity,
but even the universally
appealing "Brother" Dave Gardner
was only a mild success, in
attendance as well as reception.
What is it, then, that keeps live
name entertainment from being
a success here.
From this writer's point of observation,
it all relates to the old
accepted social standard of "doing
what happens to be the 'thing
to do'." Social life at Auburn, as
is the case in most places, is
caught up by the dilemma of
what the "thing to do" happens
to be. For example, here at Auburn,
going to the movie is the
thing to do; so is going to Che-wacla,
or football games, or the
Villa Nova in Columbus. But to
go to the Student Activities
Building with a date, and attend
a concert of poupular, clasical,
or jazz music, is not the thing to
do. Most unfortunate.

Flight Instruction Program Finished
By Two AU Students In Record Time
FOR THE FIRST time in the
history of the Flight Instruction
Program (FIP) at Auburn, two
AFROTC Cadets sucessfully completed
the FIP Training in one
quarter, and have since received
their private pilots licenses. Both
cadets entered the program September
28 and completed it in
December.
David L. Zuck, Cadet Colonel
and Commander of the 5th AFROTC
Cadet Wing was one of the
two who completed; he is majoring
in Business Administration
and hails from Birmingham.

AUBURN CONCERT CHOIR TO MAKE
TOUR OF 10 SOUTHERN STATES
BY JIM DINSMORE
The Auburn University Concert
Choir will come down from
.their Auburn loft long enough to
make a ten-day tour of five
Southern states. An invitation
was issued by the Third U.S.
Army for the choir to provide
concert entertainment at various
bases in the area. This is quite a
compliment to the choir's music,
which can be heard every afternoon
about two, whining across
the Plains from a high-spot in the
Music Building.
The tour will begin June 2,
with appearances scheduled at Ft;
Rucker, Ft. McClellan, Ft. Ben-ning,
Ft. Gordon, Ft. Bragg, Ft.
Stewart, Ft. Jackson, Ft. Campbell,
and Ft. McPherson, taking
the choir through Georgia, North
and South Carolina, Kentucky
and Alabama. Lieutenant General
Paul D. Adams, Commanding
General, Third U.S. Army, Ft.
McPherson, Ga., gave the invitation
last week. The final itinerary
and details are being worked out
with the Third Army Special Services
Officer. Choir officers assisting
in planning the tour activities
are John Grantham, President;
James Vines, Vice-President;
Manon Farnell, Secretary-
Treasurer; and James Gbldmeyer,
Tour Manager.
The program planned to entertain
the soldiers will include inspirational
choral classics, unique
arrangements of spirituals and
folk songs, and selections from
the musical comedy, "The Music
Man.!'"
. At the present time, however,
a limited number of student singers
are, needed to replace graduating,
members of the Concert
Choir before the choir's music
can reach its full pitch. Interested
students should contact Professor,,
Martin Rice, the director,
for an audition as soon as possible.
About 35 student singers
will be selected to tour with the
Concert Choir; there will be no
expense to participants.
Following the five-state tour,
the members of the Auburn University
Concert Choir will again
return to their Auburn loft.

Bull Looks At Sports . . .
Tech Game Last Week
Was Too Slow, Unexciting
By JIM BULLINGTON
"Turn backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight
This seems to be just what SEC basketball is trying to accomplish
this season—turn the clock backward to the era of minute
scores and the center jump after each basket, when the sport was
in its infancy.
A very good example of this came in last week's 40 minute
freeze in which Auburn outlasted Tech in Atlanta by a torrid 38-36
score. Of course, there was some excitement at the climax of the
game, but one wonders if it is necessary to sit through nearly an
hour'of dribbling exhibits for the chance to witness 30 seconds of
excitement.
Nowhere . . .
In commenting on this game, Jesse Outlar, sports editor of The
Atlanta Constitution, says, "From a spectator standpoint, it was
nowhere. It reminded us of a scoreless tie in football in which
neither team crossed the 50 with the ball."
Ordinarily, because of the intense rivalry between the two
schools, a Tech-Auburn game is inherently exciting. This game
was certainly an exception, and the clash earlier in the season here
at Auburn was little better, as Tech froze the ball then for seven
minutes before copping a 48-43 win.
From a purely technical standpoint games like this may be
interesting, but for the average fan, they are "nowhere."
Perhaps a small scattering of games of this nature is unavoidable.
Unfortunately, however, they seem to be increasing rather
than decreasing in number. This is a bad condition for the sport
in general as well as for its devoted fans.
Trouble Ahead . . .
If this condition continues to prevail with much frequency, it
will probably cause all but the most rabid of a team's followers
to stay home in droves on game nights, thus hurting basketball in
the worst way—financially. If college basketball is to continue
at a high level of popularity, those responsible should make every
effort to see that its appeal to the general public is not lost.
It is generally agreed that most people like to see a fast basketball
game. Is there any reason why they shoudn't?
24 Second Rule...
Professional basketball is kept at a very fast pace by the
much-discussed 24 second rule, which requires a shot to be made
within 24 seconds after a team gains possession of the ball. This
makes for a much more exciting game, and i t keeps spectators
happy and shelling out money to see more.
This rule may or may not be feasible for college basketball.
It certainly needs much thought and investigation. It should, however,
be kept in mind if any real trend toward less interesting basketball
games seems to be developing.

Tigers Play Last Home Games Against LSU, Tulane
Maroons Ahead Of Field
In Bid For SEC Crown
BY BUDDY DAVIDSON
Plainsman Sports Editor
Mississippi State remains two
games ahead of the field in the
race for the SEC crown after defeating
Tennessee 72-67 last Saturday
night. Meanwhile, Vander-bilt
eased by Tulane 63-60 to
hang on to second place.
As the Southeastern Conference
season goes into the final
two weeks of play the Maroons
are solidly in first place with an
8-0 record. Overall Babe McCarthy's
youthful team has won 16
games in 19 starts. The Commodores,
eyeing an NCAA tournament
berth, are 6-2 in league play
and 15-2 for the season.
LSU, Auburn's next opponent,
moved into a third place tie with
Florida by downing Georgia Tech
while Alabama was handing the
Gators their third straight setback.
Kentucky, now 5-4 in SEC
play, trounced Ole Miss 74-60,
and defending champion Auburn
evened its record at 4-4 by taking
a 73-69 come from behind verdict
over Georgia. The Tigers
poured in 61.7 per cent of their
field goal attempts
Jimmy Fibbe dropped in 21
points and Ray Groover had 20 in
Auburn's winning effort. Phil
Simpson and Allan Johnson each
had 16 for the losers.
Mississippi State had four men
scoring in double figures against
Tennessee, three of them sophomores.
Sophs Leland Mitchell, Joe
Gold, and W. D. Stroud paced the
Maroons with 17 points apiece,
and senior Jerry Graves contributed
16.
The Vols held Graves, the No.
2 scorer in the SEC, to one field
goal, but he dropped in 14 of 15
free throw attempts. Bobby Carter
of Tennessee grabbed scoring
honors with 18 points.
LSU limited Roger Kaiser to
five points in the second half and
pinned a seventh defeat in nine
conference games on the Yellow
Jackets. Kaiser finished the night
with 20 points while George Nat-tin
picked up high scoring honors
with 24.
Alabama allowed Florida only
eight free throw attempts, and
that was the difference as the
Gators outshot the Tide 25-23
from the field. Bama scored 18
points to Florida's six from the
foul line.
Saturday's schedule sees State
at Florida, LSU at Auburn, Tulane
at Alabama, Mississippi at
Georgia, and Tennessee at Van-derbilt.
PLAYING CUPID seems to be a popular activity around Valentine's
Day, and lovely Gerrie Maria figures she had better

Auburn School Of Aviation
the University of Chattanooga
Saturday night.
The Tigers, fresh from road victories
over The Citadel and Georgia,
will be especially gunning
for this one. Last year Chattanooga
defeated Auburn for the
first time since the two schools
began the series af grappling
events, therefore, revenge and
victory will be uppermost in the
minds of the Tigers when they
take to the mat against the Moccasins.
"Little is known here about the
Chattanooga team," says Coach
Umbach, "except that they are
undefeated at this point."
» * *
AUBURN'S RECORD to date
stands at six wins and one loss.
The Tigers have downed Georgia
twice, Emory, Maryville,
Alabama, and The Citadel.,After
Chattanooga, the Tigers meet
Alabama and the University of
the South at Auburn and then
journey to Sewanee on March 3-
4, for the SEIWA Championship.
The Tigers will enter the
Chattanooga match with three
undefeated wrestlers. These include
George Gross, Aubrey Davis,
and Garner Hastings. Only a
draw with his Citadel opponent
Saturday night puts a blemish on
Bob Roberts' record.
Snead Turns Back
Freshman 65-60
BY WARREN JONES
Plainsman Sports Writer
The sharp-shooting junior college
Snead Parsons continued on
their rampaging course by downing
the Auburn freshman 65 to 60
last Saturday afternoon at the
Sports Arena.
Spearheaded by Harold Morris
and Billy Ingram, each with 10
points, the Parsons chalked up
their 18th win in 19 games.
The first half and part of the
second half was dominated by
Snead' as the starting quintet
surged forward to a 16 point lead.
Then five Parson substitutes were
put into the game and Auburn reduced
the score to a five point
lead which Snead held until the
final buzzer.
John Blackwell accounted for
19 points of the Auburn score,
which was seven points below his
average.

Managing Editor
A u b u r n plays t h e final two h o m e games of t h e season as
the Tigers take on two bayou country opponents. LSU i n vades
the Sports Arena on S a t u r d a y night, and Tulane moves
in Monday night. Starting time for both games is 7:30.
LSU coach J a y McCreary will bring a strong, well-balanced
attack to the Plain. The Ben
gal Tigers have been coming
along very strong since suffering
some early season setbacks.
Along with Alabama, they are
probably the most improved team
in the Conference.
Two fine guards, Ellis Cooper
and George Nattin, are in the
forefront of the LSU attack.
Sophomore forward Wayne Pearl
gives good rebounding strength
under the basket and is a competent
shooter, as well.
As a team, the Bengal Tigers
have looked especially good of
late in their victories over Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ole Miss, and
Tech.
* * *
TULANE IS led by what is possibly
the best pair of basketball
players to visit the Sports Arena
this season. Top man of the two
is 6-2 sophomore Jim Kerwin,
the third leading scorer in the
SEC. Kerwin, who scored 40
points against Ole Miss, seems
to be a shoo-in for sophomore of
the year honors in the SEC.
The other man of the pair is
6-10 center Jack Ardon. He is
currently the leading rebounder
in the Conference, and is hitting
at a 17 point per game clip. Ardon
was the SEC sophomore of
the year last year.
Other than these two, Coach
Cliff Wells' Green Wave has been
rather mediocre this year. However,
they have several impressive
victories under their belt.
* * *
TO FACE these Louisiana opponents,
Auburn will probably
stick to the same lineup which
beat Tech and Georgia last week.
The Tigers seem to have their
biggest problem — rebounding—
largely worked out since big soph
Layton Johns has recovered from
his ankle injury and worked his
way back into the lineup. Johns
snared 14 against Tech and 10
against Georgia last week.

"Something New Every Day"
BY PHILLIP HUNT
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn guard Ray Groover was
named the Atlanta Constitution's
SEC Player of the Week after his
s u p e r b performances against
Georgia Tech and Georgia last
week. Groover was described by
The Constitution as the type
player who "hits with the bases
loaded."
Hit with the bases loaded is
just what the Quitman, Ga. native
did against Tech in Atlanta.
With seven seconds left on the
clock Groover sank a desperation
jump shot from the side to give
the Tigers a 38-36 victory over
the Yellow Jackets.
Saturday night Groover bucketed
20 points against Georgia to
help l e a d the Plainsmen to a
come from behind victory over
the Bulldogs. Actually, it was a
fine team effort that gave the
Tigers "their" fourth conference
win in eight starts.
In the two games Groover displayed
the versatility that earned
him the honor. Against Tech
most of his points came from the
outside on jump shots, but against
the Bulldogs he picked up almost
all of his points on drives and
free throws..
Ray is the second Auburn player
to earn this distinction this
season. Jimmy Fibbe took the
honor after leading the Tigers to
the championship in t h e Birmingham
Classic during the holidays.
Groover won over two other
stars who helped their teams to
a pair of victories during the
week. They were George Nattin
of LSU, who fired in 24 points
against Tech Saturday night, and
Kentucky's Roger Newman who
scored 42 points in Wildcat victories
over Georgia and Ole Miss.
AUBURN GUARD Porter Gilbert. (12) drives in for a layup
shot in Saturday night's game against the Georgia Bulldogs. Trying
to block Gilbert's shot is the Bulldog's Allen Johnson (10).

The Auburn soccer team pulled
a real surprise out of the bag
last Saturday afternoon at Ft.
Benning as they held the highly-regarded
Ft. Benning team to a
4-4 tie.
Coach Fred Taube's Tigers considered
the tie as at least a moral
victory, since six of the Ft. Benning
players were on the All-
Army team. "They had some outstanding
players," says Auburn

Matmen Continue Win String, Down Georgia, Citadel
LAYTON JOHNS, big Tiger center, has played an important
part in the recently improved Auburn success story. He has led the
team in rebounds for the past three games.
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn wrestling team
continued their winning ways
with a pair of victories over the
weekend as Coach Umbach's mat-men
defeated the University of
Georgia and the Citadel.
Georgia was the first victim as
the Tigers won easily by the
tune of 19-11. The Citadel was a
little tougher, but fell to the
Plainsmen by the score of 16-11.
In Friday's meet with Georgia,
the Bulldogs jumped off to
a good start by winning three of
the first four matches in the
lighter classes, but the Tigers dominated
the heavier weight classes
to take the victory.
James Grimes had the best time
in the Georgia meet as he pinned
the Bulldogs' John Calloway
in 45 seconds.
IN SATURDAY'S meet with
the Citadel, the Tigers again fell
behind early in the match, but
again the men in the heavier
weight classes won their matches
to assure the victory.
Aubrey Davis was the only Auburn
wrestler to win his match
by pinning his opponent. Davis
pinned Pignone of the Citadel in
four minutes and 40 seconds. The
other matches were decisions.
In the seven matches thus far
this season, Auburn's Aubrey Davis,
Bob Roberts and George
Gross remain undefeated, although
Roberts wrestled to a
draw in the meet against the Citadel.
The Tigers, now 6-1 for the
season, will travel to Chattanooga,
Tenn., next Saturday to take
on the unbeaten University of
Chattanooga wrestling team.
