Fire Destroys Phi Gam House
Fijis Save House Mother;
Loss Cited At $100,000
Auburn's newest fraternity group, Phi Gamma Delta, saw
months of dreams, plans and hard work destroyed in a heart­breaking,
early morning fire Saturday which totally destroyed
their newly occupied fraternity house, much of their furni­ture,
and most of their personal belongings.
The- response' of; the Auburn
campus community was immed­iate
and gratifying, according to
Dean of Student Affairs James
E. Foy. The fraternity's next door
neighbors, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
immediately took in the 30 occu­pants

The Aftermath—In A Winter Setting
Blue Key And ODK Vote To Expand
As More AU Leaders To Be Tapped
Blue Key and Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership
honoraries for men, have, voted to enlarge their respective
-memberships. Unanimous action on the question of enlarge­ment
was taken by the two organizations last Thursday/ An
editorial urging such aciton was printed in The Plainsman
the preceding day.
This is the first enlargement by
these honoraries since the pre-
" - World War II era. Auburn en­rollment
at this time was approx­imately
2000 as compared to some
9000 student^, enrolled this year.
In accordance with the pur-,

Due to limited member -

Circle K Sponsors
Smoking Contest
A Smoke Ring Blowing Contest
will begin today in the Auburn
Union Building, and will, last
through Friday of -this week.
Members of Circle K and Ameri­can
Tobacco Company represen­tatives
will man the booth in the
Union Building.
To enter the contest all you
have to do is to pay 5 cents at
the booth. You will then be given
a sample pack of cigarettes from
which you will take one, light it,
and then begin blowing smoke
rings. The person who blows the
most number of rings per puff

are urged to participate.
ing of their experience while
traveling together through Rus­sia.
Mrs. Magidoff is also the her­oine
of Nila, Mrs. Ethridge's bi­ography
of her.
Nila Magidoff was born in Rus­sia,
where she experienced both
extremes of life behind the Iron
Curtain. She went from exile in
Siberia to become a highly suc­cessful
journalist in Moscow.
There she met and married Rob­ert
Magidoff, an NBC correspon­dent,
and emigrated to the United
States, where she became a na­turalized
citizen.
At the height of the cold war
Robert Magidoff was expelled
from Russia on trumped-up
charges of being an American
spy. The Magidoffs now make
their home in New York City,
where Mr. Magidoff is a professor
at New York University.
Noted for her "vibrant perso­nality,
effervescent sense of hu­mor,
her enthusiasm for life and
her deep sense of patriotism to
this country," Mrs. Magidoff has
spoken in hundreds of communi­ties
across the nation, including
packed houses at Madison Square
Garden and the Hollywood Bowl.
The topic of her lecture Mon­day
is "My Discovery of Ameri­ca,"
in which she talks about this
country as seen through the eyes
of a new American. Her speech
includes humorous, dramatic and
fascinating stories' of readjust­ment
to new ways of life, and is
the most famous of her talks.
Following the lecture, Mortar
Board will honor Mrsi Magidoff
at a reception at Social Center,
to which Mortar Board alumnae
and representatives of various
campus groups have been in­vited.
The lecture will be open to the
public.
whom had escaped wearing only
shorts or pajamas, out of 4 a.m.,
10 degree cold. Other neighbors,
Kappa Sigma and Delta xTau Del­ta,
and the original owners of the
house, Pi Kappa Alpha, also gave
the Fijis food and shelter. Later
on, however, most of them moved
into vacant rooms in Magnolia
Dormitories.
"Almost all Auburn fraternities
called me or someone else to of­fer
their help," said Jerry God-ard,
assistant dean of student af­fairs.
"Many, townspeople also
offered rooms. We could have
housed 200 if we had needed to."
Others helping out were Kappa
Alpha Theta sorority, who do­nated
their chapter room for a
Saturday night party the Fijis
had scheduled; the Interfraternity
Council, which has tentatively
offered to replace destroyed
books; Bill Ham Cleaners," Qual­ity
Laundry and Young's Laun­dry,
who are giving free laun­dry
and cleaning on clothes
which were saved; and offers of
assistance were still coming in
at press time.
"The cold weather hampered
our efforts to fight the fire," said
Auburn Fire Chief Bill Jones. "It
was one of the worst fires we've
had here in- several years. -We
were very thankful that there
was no injury or loss of life."
Chief Jones stated that it was
virtually impossible to determine
the cause of the fire. It started
somewhere in the upstairs or attic
portion of the house.
The fire was discovered by Bill
Guttry, a married member who
had come to the house for some
early morning studying. He
smelled the smoke and aroused
the rest of the members, who es­caped
through doors and win­dows.
The housemother, Mrs. Eliza­beth
Karick, met a narrow escape
as the fire and smoke blocked
the door to her quarters. Burg-ler
bars on her window had to
be yanked free before she could
climb to safety.
The house was originally built
in the late 1930's by Pi Kappa
Alpha, who sold the house ,last
year to Auburn lawyer J. Sydney
Oook. Phi Gamma Delta had
leased the house last year from
Mr. Cook.
Estimates of the loss ranged
from $50,000 to $100,000. It was
insured to its full appraised
value.
. "I have no plans right now con­cerning
future use of the prop­erty,"
said Mr. Cook. "I think
the biggest loss was to the fra­ternity.
Those boys had really
put a1 lot of work on the house,
and had completely renovated it
inside."
This was confirmed by Mr.
Godard, who said, "When, we ran
the fire safety inspection last fall,
that house was in better shape
than it had been in for years."
At press time, the Fijis had no
definite plans regarding a new
house. Several offers have al­ready
been received, however, and
it was fit that a new house would
be obtained in a few days.
LEADING PLAYERS in John Brown's Body are, left to right, Dr. Tom Belser, Billie Jean
Walker, and Bob Knowles, each of whom play several different roles in the unique dramatization
of Stephen Vincent Benet's historical poem. A chorus, under the direction of Craig Hankenson, will
provide a musical background.

Deans Give OKeh
To New Calendar
Prof. William Hauser, Phi
Gamma Delta faculty advisor,
stated, "On behalf of the frater­nity,
I would like to thank the
students and townspeople of Au­burn
who have responded so gen­erously
to fill our immediate
needs. We also appreciate the ef­forts
of the fire and police de­partments.
The loss, as bad as it
was, could have been much
worse, so we really have a lot
to be thankful for."

The Council of Deans recently
approved the calendar- for Au­burn
University beginning With
Summer quarter of 1962 and go­ing
through Summer quarter of
1963. It contains plans for less
Saturday classes. -
During recent years, there have
been at least fifty planned class
days during each quarter but with
this'calendar the Council approv­ed
plans for less than that num­ber.
This will cut down on the
number of Saturday classes: The
ones that will be held on Satur­day
will.be at the first of the
quarter or at the end of a quar­ter
but not in the middle.
The longest quarter during the
period of this calendar will be
the Fall quarter with 51% class
days. Summer quarter of 1962
will have 49 days of class while
Winter, Spring, and Summer
quarters of 1962 will have only
48.
In previous years, classes have
been held, on July 4 unless the
holiday fell on Monday or Friday.
However, in 1962 and 1963, the
fourth will be on Wednesday and
Thursday respectively and no
class will be held.
Exams will be given on Satur­days
during several quarters.
During the Fall quarter, classes
will end on Thursday, Dec. 6, and
instead of exams beginning the
following day they will start on
Saturday. The Council of Deans
hopes to be able to work in this
free day before exams in other
quarters in the future, thus giv­ing
students more time to study
for the finals.

Civil War Stage Se
For Local Production
By DON PHILLIPS
Assistant Features Editor
It was early April, 1865, and the Confederate States of
America were only a few short weeks from complete and fi­nal
surrender. The war had been brutally pushed into the
South by Sherman . . . Richmond had fallen . . . Lee's Army
of Northern Virginia had surrendered to Grant at Appomattox.
In our own state, Mobile was te-tering
in the balance and would
soon fall.
Then storming down from Wes­tern
Tennessee came Yankee Gen­eral
James H. Wilson and 15,000
cavalrymen, plundering and burn­ing
after the style of Sherman. He
left in the wake charred ruins at
Jasper, Elyton, Montevallo, and
Selma. A detachment of his men
looted and burned the University
of Alabama.
On April 11, Wilson and his
men reached the outskirts of
Montgomery. General Daniel W.
Adams had made hasty prepara­tions
to defend the city, but at the
last minute General Taylor or­dered
him to retreat to Columbus
and set up a defensive position
there. Everything of. military va­lue
that could not be moved out
of the city was burned. The Ma­yor
and city council of Montgom­ery
entered Wilson's camp under
a flag of truce and surrendered the
city in exchange for protection
of private property and the civi­lian
population. Montgomery fell
without a fight.

through the streets of Montgom­ery,
Wilson moved east toward
Columbus. The only real barrier
he now faced was the Chatta­hoochee
River, which was near
flood stage at both West Point and
Columbus. Not wanting to risk a
pontoon bridge, he split his forces
at Tuskegee, sending Col. La
Grange through Auburn and Ope-lika
to West Point'to try to cap­ture
the railroad bridge there,
while the main force continued to
Columbus.
On April 15, La Grange marched
toward West Point, meeting only
slight resistance, and tearing up
the Montgomery and West Point
Railroad as he went.
Late on the evening of the fif­teenth,
La Grange reached Auburn
and Opelika. Here he met stiff
but greatly "outnumbered resis­tance.
After quickly overcoming
the town defenders, La Grange
and his men camped for the night
in Auburn.
It was on this night and in the
weeks to come that Auburn Pres­byterian
Church was used as a
hospital for both Confederate and
Yankee wounded. This building
still stands and is thought to be
the oldest building on the Auburn
campus. It is located on South
College.just across from Samford
Hall, and is now the home of the
Auburn Players.
It is in this building and in the
spirit of. the War Between the
States that the Auburn Players
present their latest play, ""John
Brown's Body.
John Brown's Body is not a play
in the conventional sense, but an
epic poem dealing with many fa­cets
of life and culture in this
country during the War Between
The States. The production is be­ing
presented through the co-ope­ration
of the Music and Drama
Departments as a part of the Civil
War Centennial Year.
It is fitting that a play depict­ing
the history of the War should
be presented in a building that is
a part of that history. •
The Players' Theatre, as it is
now called, was constructed on its
present site by " slaves for the
Presbyterian Church in 1850, and
was occupied by the church until
the First World War. During
World War I, the building was
used as a YMCA and acquired the
name, Y-Hut. The old Y ensigna
may still be seen on the College
Street wall of the building^It was
later used as a YWGAV
The original 'Bricks for. the
building were made by hand, and
the ceiling beams were notched
and pegged rather than nailed.
Most of the bricks are still visible,
and the original beams are still in
use. Much of the plaster in the
building is the original plaster.
The Auburn Players acquired
the building in 192,6, and moved
their theatre there from the fourth
floor attic of Samford Hall. On
July 27, 1926, The Players pre­sented
Nell Gwyn, their first pro­duction
in the/Y-Hut.
In 1956, the name of the build­ing
was changed to The Players'
Theatre, and students in the Au­burn
Players put new supports un­der
the byilding and renovated the
interior of the building. John
Brown's Body is approximately
the 115th separate production
given by the Auburn Players in
this building.

Main Function Of IFC To Improve
University-Fraternity Relationship
By BILL KOPCHO
The fraternity and the university are located in two dif­ferent
worlds. While both are organizations from which a
young man may obtain knowledge, this knowledge is of two
different forms. A university teaches set subjects such as
mathematics and English, while the fraternity teaches social
poise and grace. There is a need
to coordinate these two phases of
learning. This is accomplished
through the Interfraternity Coun­cil.
The Interfraternity Council was
organized on the Auburn campus
in 1924 for the purpose of provid­ing
the means of a closer rela­tionship
between the university
and its fraternities. It sits as a
judge and jury in times of dishar­mony
and is a means fo coordi-mony
and is a means for coordi-ternity
and the university. It al­so
serves as a board of regulation
when a fraternity breaks a uni­versity
or fraternity law.
The IFC is composed of two
representatives from each frater­nity
and each colony. These rep-

planned and furnished under Can-trell's
direction. Between 900,000
and one million volumes can be
easily accommodated in the new
building. Reading space will be
available for 2,000 readers at one
time.
Cantreli takes great pride in de­scribing
the special features bene­ficial
to students in this long-dreamed-
of construction. All of
the features encompass the latest
trends in design and equipment.
An addition to the new library
will be the special collection de­partment,
including the Petrie Me­morial
collection, Alabama collec­tion,
Auburn University collection,
maps, rare books, books auto­graphed
by authors and Auburn
University theses.
One of the outstanding charac­teristics
about the new library,
Cantreli said, is the large amount
of floor space which, if laid out on
level ground, would cover ap­proximately
four acres. The build­ing
is designed in such a way that
one or two additional floors may
be added in the future.
Along with the many - advan­tages,
however, will also be prob­lems.
Thirty new staff, members
will be needed when the new
building is completed, as well as
more funds, equipment and sup­plies.
As director of libraries, Can-trell's
duties include coordinating
the entire library program. At
present there are seven branches
of the main library. In the new
area there will be only the cen­tral
library and two branches,
pharmacy-veterinary m e d i c i ne
and architecture.
His 18 years as director of lib­raries
have been filled with many
activities other than his regular
duties. He has served on a num­ber
of important University com­mittees
and councils.
When he came to Auburn in
1944, Cantreli brought with him
training and experience to make
him well qualified for his new
job. He holds the A.B., A.M., and
North Carolina State College, West

vices and dance bands will be
working overtime as activities
reach a feverish pitch and many
different groups compete for their
services on the same weekend.
These formals are important to
Auburn for a number of reasons.
One is the fact that a formal is a
social outlet in a generally tech­nical
atmosphere. Auburn has the
reputation in many quarters of
being a technical and agricultural
school with little social refine­ment.
While we may be a techni­cal
school, we do have our share
of social refinement, which comes
to its peak in the fraternity and
sorority formals.
A^'furliraMs a lot of work to
prepare, to pay for, and to clean
up after, but it is hard to find a
person who will not admit that it
is worth the trouble.
ALPHA GAMMA DELTA
I Gamma Delta chapter of Alpha
Gamma Delta sorority marked the
beginning of the Auburn season of
sorority formals Saturday night,'
Jan. 13, with its annual winter
formal.
The night's festivities began at
seven o'clock with an elaborate
buffet supper, followed by a dance,
at the Harmony Club in Colum­bus,
Ga.
Throligh the effective use of
lighting and various other deco­rations,
the Harmony Club had a
greenish glow. Large Greek let­ters
for Alpha Gamma Delta were
mounted on the wall and were I
spotlighted with green while green
cloths and holly were on all the
tables. The Alpha Gam colors are
green, buff and red.
Immediately after dinner the
dance began with music furnished
by Carney's Combo. Sorority of­ficers
and their dates appeared in
the leadout at 9:30. Included in
the leadout were Sally George,
president, Mitch Cobb; Marybeth
Coker, first vice-president, Eddie
Pitman; Gene Culver, second vice-president,.
George Beck; Linda
Wadsworth, corresponding secre­tary;
Tommy Thompson; Judy
Harris, treasurer, Wayne Murphy;
Sybo Hubbard, social chairman;
Dan Sexton. Miss Ann Torrans,
alumnae advisor, escorted by Ed
Griffith, ended the leadout by*
presenting Miss George with a
bouquet of. roses, the - sorority
flower.
Dancing continued till. 11:30,
when the group returned to Au­burn
and the Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity house for breakfast.
ALPHA PSI
Auburn's season of fraternity
formals had its beginning last Fri­day
evening, Jan. 12, with the
50th annual Moonlight Ball of the
Theta chapter of Alpha Psi pro­fessional
veterinary fraternity.
Theta chapter's Golden Anniver­sary
Formal was held at the Lee
CoUnty Armory wkith music fur­nished
by the. Bob Lewis Combo
of Auburn. »
The theme of the formal was
Alpha Psi's Golden Anniversary at
Auburn. A large sign on the wall
proclaimed "Alpha Psi, 1912-1962."
An informal dance was held the
following night at the Hotel Mar­tha
Scott in Opelika, followed
by breakfast at the Alpha Psi
House. Other activities of the for­mal
weekend included dinners at
the chapter house, enjoyed by
members, guests, and faculty
members of the Auburn School of
Veterinary Medicine. Formal week

IS STUDYING NECESSARY?
Once there were three roommates and their names were Walter
Pellucid, Casimir Fing, and LeRoy Holocaust and they were all
taking English lit. and they were all happy, friendly, outgoing
types and they all smoked Marlboro Cigarettes as you would
expect from 'such a gregarious trio,'for Marlboro is the very es-
BenCepf sociability, the^efy^spirit of amity, and very soul of
concord,'with*its' tobacco so mild and flavorful, its pack so
king-size and flip-top, its filter so pure and white, and you will
find when you smoke Marlboros that the world is filled with the
song of birds and no man's hand is raised against you.
Each night after dinner Walter and Casimir and LeRoy went
to their room and studied English lit. For three hours they safc
in sombre silence and pored over their books and then, squint]'
and spent, they toppled onto their pallets and sobbed theia*
selves to sleep.
This joyless situation obtained all through the first semester.
Then one night they were all simultaneously struck by a mar­velous
idea. "We are all studying the same thing," they cried.
"Why, then, should each of us study for three hours? Why not
each study for one hour? It is true we will only learn one-third
as much that way, but it does not matter because there are
three of us and next June before the exams, we can get together
and pool our knowledge!"' -
Oh, what rapture then fell on Walter and Casimir and LeRoy!

An equal opportunity employer
New engineers with initiative who can meet
Western Electrie's high standards are offered
many exciting career opportunities with our
company in data processing development work
as it relates to communications.
For example, Western's engineers—working
closely with Bell Telephone Laboratories—have
solved development and manufacturing prob­lems
connected with the Bell System's new
DATA-PHONE Data set (made by Western
Electric). DATA-PHONE service lets business
machines, such as computers, "speak" to each
other in a language of numbers and symbols over
existing telephone communication networks.
This represents a tremendous boon to business;
aiid consequently, it is estimated that some day
there may be more machine talk than people
talk using telephone lines.
Of course, data communications is only one
of many rewarding career areas that await
you at Western Electric. Here are just a few
of the others: electronic switching . . . solid
state electronic devices . . . microwave radio
relay... computer-programmed prpductioi 1 lines
. . . solar cells . . . optical mascrs . . . futuristic
telephones.
We need high-caliber, forward-thinking en­gineers
now to help us transform these plans
into realities or to work with us in scores of
other key communications areas. Your future,
the future of Western Electric, and the future
of America's communications—could well de­pend
on your first career connection.
Challenging opportunities exist now at Western
Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemi­cal
engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts,
and business majors. All qualified applicants will re­ceive
careful consideration for employment without
regard to race, creed, color or national origin. For more

They flung their beanies into the air and danced a gavotte and
lit thirty or forty Marlboros and ran out to pursue the pleasure
which had so long, so bitterly, been missing from their lives.
Alas, they found instead a series of grisly misfortunes.
Walter, alas, went searching for love and was soon going steady
with a coed named Invicta Breadstuff, a handsome lass, but,
alas, hopelessly addicted to bowling. Each night she bowled
five hundred lines, some nights a thousand. Poor Walter's
thumb was a shambles and his purse was empty, but Invicta
just kept on bowling and in the end, alas, she left/Walter for a
pin-setter, which was a terrible thing to do to Walter, especially
in this case, because the pin-setter was automatic.
Walter, of course, was far too distraught to study his English
lit, but he took some comfort from the fact that his roommates
were studying and they would help him before the exams. But
Walter, alas, was wrong. His roommates, Casimir and Lelloy,
were nature lovers and they used their free time to go for long
tramps in the woods and one night, alas, they were treed by
two bears, Casimir by a brown bear and LeRoy by a kodiak,
and they were kept in the trees until spring set in and the
bears went to Yellowstone for the tourist season.
So when the three roommates met before exams to pool their
knowledge, they found they had none to pool! Well sir, they had
a good long laugh about that and then rushed to the kitchen
and stuck their heads in the oven. It was, however, an electric
oven and the effects were, on the whole, beneficial. The wax in
their ears got melted and they acquired a healthy tan and
today they arc married to a lovely young heiress named Gang­lia
Bran and live in the Canal Zone, where there arc many nice
boats to wave at. © msa MUX shuiumn
In case you worry about such things, their wife is a Marlboro
smoker, too, which adds to the general merriment. Marlboro
is ubiquitous, as well as flavorful, and you can buy them in
all 50 states as well as the Canal Zone.

ions Vicious Circle
The new session of Congress is faced
with a number of highly complex and ser­ious
problems which are sure to have much
effect on our country's future. Some, such
as the trade question, will have a direct,
historical bearing not only on this coun­try,
but on the progress and well-being of
Western society in general. On the domes­tic
front, however, no part of the Admin­istration's
program has greater long-range
significance than aid to education.
Because of the constrictive power of the
Republican-Southern Democrat conserva­tive
bloc, the loss of Mr. Rayburn, the stub­born
machinations of the Catholic interests,
and a number of other factors, the pros­pects
for any meaningful federal aid to ed­ucation
bill during this session of Congress
seem rather dim. This should not, however,
be a sign for the Administration and other
backers of aid to education to sit down
and forget about it, but rather it should
be a signal for redoubled efforts.
Quality and equality of opportunity in
education should not be passed over light­ly.
The population explosion, the techno­logical
race with Russia, and the continuing
and worsening inadequacy in physical fa­cilities
and pay for teachers demand posi­tive
action.
And nowhere can the crying need for
federal aid to education be seen more suc­cinctly
than here in Alabama. Since Ala­bama
ranks rock-bottom among the several
states in annual per pupil expenditure, we
can in reality expect nothing but relatively
inferior education, which is exactly what
we get. And we are losing what few top
teachers, administrators and students we
have at an increasingly alarming rate. If
it were not for the efforts of a number of
dedicated educators and other citizens, the
picture would be even more bleak.
It is a curious anomaly that the "conser­vative"
forces which decry any type of
federal aid are the very forces which are
responsible for the conditions which have
led to its necessity—rural interests which
unfairly dominate the grossly misappor-tioned
state legislature, a series of dema­gogic,
reactionary governors, and o t h er
forces who through ignorance, selfishness
or other reasons of their own have failed
to keep pace with the times.
And in it all is something of a vicious
circle. Uneducated people elect poor lead­ers
who support a poor educational sys­tem
which produces more uneducated peo­ple
who elect more poor leaders ad infini­tum.
It will take an outside force, namely
federal aid, to ever break this dizzying spin.
Rampant Materialism . ..
Patriotism Not As Popular As It Was;
Caused By Lack Of Value In Society
By W. H. BYRD
THE FIFTH WHEEL — GOOD RIDDANCE
A Welcome Step-With Reservations
Auburn's new calendar for the next
school year, approved last week by the
Council of Deans, has two features which
should be welcome to nearly everyone here
—a considerable reduction in the number
of Saturday classes and a free day immed­iately
before the start of finals. These are
both needed steps which the Plainsman
has long supported.
However, this advance was only ob­tained
at the expense of a corresponding
reduction in the total number of class days
in the school year. This does not appear to
serve the cause of quality education at Au­burn.
Saturday classes should be totally
eliminated and students should always have
an off day immediately preceding the start
of finals. However, this should be effected
by reducing the number of vacation days
between quarters, not by reducing the
number of class days in the school year.
There are technical problems involved
here which are difficult to overcome. It
might even be necessary for students to
return to school before Jan. 1: in order to
make up the days lost, but this would be
much better than either Saturday classes
or a curtailed class schedule.
The quality of education at Auburn is
already low enough without this new threat
to the value of our degrees. We hope the
Calendar Committee and the Council of
Deans will find a way to keep the advan­tageous
features of the new calendar and
at the same time restore the original num­ber
of class days to the school year. We
believe it would be worth the effort and
sacrifice involved.

No wonder Belgium, France, Hol­land
and Portugal, for example,
are confused and angered when
they see us oppose their inter­ests
in favor of left-wing govern­ments
like the Central Congolese,
the FLN in Algeria, Sukarno's
Indonesia and Nehru's India. We
can no longer afford to support
these governments at the expense
of our allies, with the dim hope
that they will eventually become
friendlier to us than to the So­viet
Union. If we wait for that,
we'll end up with no allies at all.
It is up to Congress to intro­duce
a little more sanity into
American policy, both domestic
and foreign, and it will be inter­esting

It was only through a set of very fortui­tous
circumstances that there was no ser­ious
injury of loss of life in last Saturday's
fire at the Phi Gamma Delta house. But
even the fact that a member just happened
to be up studying at 3 a.m. was not enough
to prevent the tremendous loss in money
and personal property which must have
been quite tragic for those involved.
This should serve as a reminder to all
A Tragic Reminder
of us, and especially to those of us who
live in similar pre-World War II fraternity
houses arid boarding houses. An overloaded
electrical circuit, a pile of rags, or any one
of a number of other possible causes could
very easily lead to a fire of much more
tragic proportions.
Fraternities and landlords should re­evaluate
the safety factor in their houses
and then take immediate, positive action
if it is called for. It could save many lives.
Broken Lines Of Communication
Our professors are running around as if
they were unclean lepers. They are con­fined
and isolated to their own little colo­ny
of faculty and administration. Even the
lines of communication between our
professors and the students have been se­vered
by some pranksters who delight in
immature name calling, who are deathly
afraid they will catch that malignant di­sease
called learning. Really they need not
fear because after a certain length of ex­posure
without effect they become im­mune.
Our classes are filled with one professor
each and a bunch of telegranh poles who
respond only to a bell. Occasionally, a pro­fessor
is able to probe his poles into thought
and expression and a desire for learning.
This is rare. Look at the flunk-outs, look at
the dropouts, look at the barely-passers.
Then look at some of the Auburn grads in
all fields who tightly clutch a diploma with
their arms outsretched and with pieces of
straw nrotruding from beneath their hats.
All this does not seem to indicate that
there is much communication between our
college professors and our college students.
Somewhere along the line there is a break
in communication. .
The professors are there in class every
day. They function as best they can in a
50-minute period. They may not live up to
the easy ideal set up by us, the students,
but they are there; and doubtless we good
students don't provide them with an ideal
life. As receptors of knowledge, hurt by the
,poor standards of lower education in our
state, we are not too receptive. We lack
the desire, the yearning.
Out of class we can no longer tolerate
the communicators of knowledge and they
are forced to retreat to their dim, my­sterious
offices where they read incom­prehensible
books and mark up test pa­pers.
Surely they must derive great en­joyment
from their work because, aside
from the large sums of money they make,
those professors get to see and feel the tre­mendous
response and desire, all the in­tangibles
that make teaching such a re­warding
profession, exemplified by us, the
Auburn students.
There is a void that exists in the Auburn
education system. We, the students, have
created that void. We have broken the
lines of communication between teacher
and student. We have divorced ourselves
from the pursuit of learning and have ta­ken
to ourselves the idle pursuit of grades.
This is an abstract thing, this void, but it
presence is as obvious as that of Broun
Hall. It is our problem. We can do some­thing
to improve the faculty-student rela­tionship.
We can propose a positive pro­gram
that would bring students and facul-
- ty together in an informal setting for a con­structive
purpose. We can find a cure for
this faculty leprosy, if we will.—Dinsmore.
Editor, The Plainsman:
In regard to Mr. Byrd's recent
article I would like to contend,
that to the contrary, there is in­filtration
present at Auburn Uni­versity.
This, primarily has taken
place in the library. It is not sur­prising
that libraries are used as
a media of propaganda for com­munists,
for Lenin has said that
the arts are the most powerful
means for influencing the psy­chology
of the masses, and that
the future of communism depends
upon the battle for the human
mind. Through books and periodi­cals
the communist author is giv­en
the opportunity to subvert and
influence minds.
But certainly, you say, can't an
educated college student detect
this propaganda? In reality, no.
Not unless you are a student of
commuinist propaganda techni­ques,
have a knowledge of the
'party-line," or are familiar with
communist names. These authors
are experts who are well sea­soned
in the field of psychopoliti-cal
warfare. For example, how
many of us are familiar with
names like Gus Hall, Henry Win­ston,
Elizabeth Gurley, Archie
Brown or, Harry Bridges? These
". are top-ranking party officials in
America today. What of the many
others who are not as well known
as the above. How many would
recognize them?
The audacity of some of their
propaganda amazes me! For ex­ample:
William Z. Foster (con­victed
in 1949 under the Smith
Act, and chairman emeritis of the
Communist Party of the United
States until his death last Sep­tember)
dedicates his book, The
Twilight of World Capitalism, to
"My Great Grandson Joseph
Manley Koike, who will live in a
Communist United States." He is
not quite as bold in his dedica­tion
of his four other books in
our library. James S. Allen, an­other
party leader wrote, Atomic
Energy and Society; Hubert Ap-thaker,
the editor of Political Af­fairs,
the conspiracy's monthly
publication, has only written two
which we have here. However, ,
these men and their works are
the obvious or easiest ones to
find. Let us look at the other
books here at Auburn which are
authored by persons who have
been affiliated with the Com­munist
front efforts to subvert
our beliefs in God, our nation, and
our concepts of freedom, includ­ing
the freedom of choice.
The following information is
compiled from a list of the most
active' and typical sponsors of
Communist fronts of the past,
Senate document no. 117, The
Communist Party of the United
States of America, pps. 93-95; A
Guide To Red Reading, Fulton
Lewis, III, American Mercury,
June '59, p. 48.
Langston Hughes (nearly 80)
front affiliations) 6 books; James
Waterman Wise (nearly 60
•fronts) 5 books; Carey McWil-liams
(over 40 fronts) 11 books;
Louis Adamic, Henry Pratt Fair-child,
and Bernard J. Stern (all
over 30 fronts) a total of 29
books; Robert S. Lynod (over 20
fronts) 3 books; Henrietta Buck-master,
W.C.B. Du Bois, Dorothy
Canfield Fisher, Thomas Mann,
and Howard Fast (all over 10
fronts) a total of 69 books.
It is merely a coincidence that
we have these books and more ;
plus periodicals such as Political
Affairs, National Guardian, and
International Affairs? Or The Na­tion
which the California Senate-
Fact Finding Committee on Un-
American Activities in its tenth
report (19,59) disclosed that
"there is little need for the Com­munist
Party to finance propa­ganda
publications when a maga­zine
like The Nation . . . will
attack the F.B.I., support the
Communist fronts, editorialize
sympathetically in behalf' of wit­nesses
that appear before legisla­tive
committees, and generally
parrot the party-line for noth­ing."
This is not called coinci­dence—
it is called infiltration. It
not only exists here but in many
other libraries.
Please do not misunderstand
me. I do not advocate "book burn­ing"
or a "witch-hunt," nor do I
believe the quote "red-plague"
has struck Auburn. Rather, I be­lieve
we should use these books
against them just as they have
used our Fifth Amendment, our
faith in the Supreme being, and
our, peaceful way of life to our
disadvantage. We ' should read
these books and periodicals so
that we can see their suttle fech-^
niques of propaganda. Then we-will
be able to determine^'w,hat
the "party-line" is and will rec­ognize
it in the future. During the
last two years, the Communist
Party has achieved a limited
"breakthrough" in its efforts to
infiltrate youth . and student
groups. This, as J. Edgar Hoover
said, has been the result of care­ful
planning and concentrated ef­forts
by the party. To ignore and
pretend that this cannot possibly
exist, even here, is to close our
eyes to a malignant cancer be­cause
it is not a pretty sight.
Sincerely,
Richard Lane

Kennedy Administration
Runs Road To Ruin
Editor, The Plainsman:
It would be well for all of us
enrolled here at Auburn to fol­low
closely the proceedings of
the present'session, of Congress.
Judging from President Ken­nedy's
State of the Union mes­sage,
we have much at stake.
Kennedy's message revealed
the plans of the present Admin- *
istration to continue its drive to­ward
more governmental central- •
ization, and to continue carrying
out a fearfully weak foreign pol­icy.
On the house front, President
Kennedy and the self-styled phi­losopher
kings who serve as his
advisors seek greater centraliza­tion
because they tend, rather
arrogantly, to have a blueprint
society in mind to which they
cannot get the people to conform
except as they exercise centra­lized
power. This passion for cen­tralized
power is motivated by an •
impatience with the ways of local
government and by an urge to
impose upon the entire United
States their ideas on education,
on housing, on welfare, on social
security, and indeed, their idea
to remedy every ailment to which
human flesh is heir! This is not
the traditional role of American
gbvernment.
If Congress permits the Admin­istration
to carry out its pro­posed
policies, they will, of neces­sity,

of our personal freedoms.
In the field of foreign relations,
the Administration proposes to
continue its defensive stance
among nations who once looked
to the United States for positive
world leadership. We continue to
donate generously to "neutralist"
nations who vote with the So­viet
block against our interests
on every issue in the United
Nations. Indeed, we are more
The grapevine has it that pa­triotism
is not as popular as it
once was. Something is missing
of the old spark and fire that
made the U.S. of A. into the great
world power it is, so the story
goes. The story being reports and
observations of the impact of the
•recent military build-up on the
American public.
But the story does not begin
there. The lack of patriotic zeal
and what is commonly referred
to as "pioneer guts" can be traced
back to the Korean war. The con­duct
of American prisoners of
war during the Korean campaign,
their give-up-itis, has for some
time roused concern among mili-
. tary winds. An Army psychologist
has publicly given a rather stir­ring
account of it.
When the Berlin crisis prompt­ed
the recall of many veterans
and reserve and National Guard
units, a certain amount of reluc­tance
was encountered, more it
seems than was expected as a
normal reaction. There was some
degree of fear that a goodly num­ber
of Americans were neither
ready, willing nor able to make
the sacrifices that patriotism de­mands.
The question, of course,
is why?
In 1941, as I hear it told, there
was hardly an able bodied man
or boy who was not anxious to
take up arms in defense of God,
country, loved-ones, etc. I take
this with a, little reservation,
knowing human nature to be the
fickle thing it is; but I doubt
not that in the bleak December
days of '41 the concept of God,
country, loved-ones and so-forth,
was much clearer than it is to­day.
And where extreme sacri­fices
are concerned, partriotism
comes much easier when the
things one is liable to die for are
clearly discernable.
In textbooks on American his­tory,
especially the kind doled
out to the adolescent mind,
America has been eternally the
home of the Brave and the Land
of the Free. The sharpest of Madi­son
Avenue hucksters could not
have done a better snow job on
the American public than the au­thors

Mr. Byrd b e l i e v es
strongly in academic freedom.
We are in accord that this is a
worthy ideal. However it is the
opinion of many educators, (Col­lectivism
on the Campus, E. Mer­rill
Root) that the centers of high­er
learning in this country are no
longer nurturing the open and
thinking mind, but are indoctri­nating
the student with a collec-tivist
idealogy (sic).
This is not to say there is a
Communist in every classroom,
although there must be some in­volved
in university life and
maybe even one here at Auburn.
It is, however, to say that the
modern liberal no longer stands
for the . protection of individual
freedoms in the face of ever­growing
powers of . central gov­ernment.
He is no longer con­cerned
with individual initiative,
' but rather individual needs. He
offers security not opportunity.
He does not believe that economic
freedom is basic for the individ­ual
to maintain his identity in our
society. He has replaced the ba­sic
right of freedom to choose
one's associations with a cry of
discrimination. He has replaced
a pride in national patriotism
with a reverence for world gov­ernment.

The local chapter of Pi Mu Ep-silon

A contractor working on
the new mathematics build­ing

the time I said I could finish
this job in several days, I ex­pected
to get two more bull­dozers.
If they had left me
what machines I had, I'd have
been only a day behind sche­dule.
But they've taken all
my machines but one, and I'm
weeks behind schedule."

Yet all the while America suf­fered
through all the social evils,
industrial and labor atrocities,
gangsterism, policial growing
pains, a feriocious civil war, ty-rany,
mobocracy, lynchings et al.
The history texts could not cover
a multitude of sins, and even
their young readers are not blind
to fact and truth.
The years since WW II have
been been fruitful ones for
thought, especially sound criti­cal
thought about the state of
the nation. America has been
making the same old blunders,
but at least more people are con-
. scious of them. More people can
spread intelligible of the of the fal-acy
of freedom. It may be that
a greater number of citizens are
expei-iencing an intellectual
awakening. The initial result,
however, is a certain amount of
confusion, normal to evaluation;
and in the process of evaluation,
the picture of America, democra­cy,
justice, international rela­tions
and so on, is not very clear.
Once we refuse to accept the
painted image and search for the
substance, there is bound to be
a period of haziness. This is
where we find ourselves today.
As long as the current Citizen
Kane does not have a very clear
picture of his society, he cannot
be expected to make a great deal
of sacrifice for it.
Nor can we expect all good
men to come to the aid of their
country when they do not agree
with what their country stands
for. Can we really expect the
Negro to lay his life on the line
in defense of the alledged free-don
which he does not enjoy any­way?
Can we expect a young man
on the verge of receiving a col­lege
diploma to leave it behind and
go to war in defense of a social
order that has made a diploma
the criterion for financial and
social success? Can we expect a
man to willingly leave a ten
thousand dollar a year job for a
hundred dollar a month military
pay when we know fully well
that he is judged as a human be­ing
mothly on the size of his pay
check? I think not, yet .we are
surprised because many of our
young people are reluctant to en­ter
military service.
It seems that our society has
drafted a set of contradictory
ideals and has left no place for
patriotism. There is little or noth­ing
about contemporary Ameri­canism
that is conducive to mak­ing
the sacrifices demanded by
patriotism. We have placed too
much value on superficial ma­terialism
to make anything as
spiritual in nature as patriotism
attractive. We have made life too
comfortable to be • traded away
willingly for a foxhole.
If we are ever convinced that
the enemy is going to take away
our television sets and our auto­mobiles,
we may see a new brand
of Americanism and fiery patriot­ism
that would have astounded
even George Washington. Until
then we obviously prefer fire­side
comforts to firing line tests
of super patriotism. Such is the
stuff we are made of.
Young Man's Fancy ...
All Auburn Co-eds Thrown Together,
Stereotype Image Is Born From Mass
By Jim Dinsmore
With this beautiful winter
weather upon us, a young man's
fancy once again turns to thoughts
of love and the opposite sex. Since
the Auburn male is confined here
at Auburn for at least five days
a week, when he thinks of love
and sex the only thing he can
come up with is the Auburn co­ed,
the typical Auburn co-ed. He
loves her dearly, but only because
there is a great scarcity of any­thing
better to love.
One Auburn co-ed seems to be
as good as another, though there
are extremes in both directions.
When she arrives at Auburn she
is poured into a narrow mold
bounded by 8:30 and 11:30 and the
women's dining hall and the wom­en's
convocations and the Dean of
Women and by ,no drinking and
no shorts and no sorority houses
and no, no, no. Everywhere she
turns she runs face to face with
a "no." And though the mold gets
wider as the young lady suppos­edly
advances in wisdom and age
and grace, still there is no escape.
Often a co-ed will daringly reach
outside of her administration-world
and taste the excitement
of transgressing. But she will have
to return, she knows, because this
is Auburn. And so all Auburn co­eds
find themselves in the same
mold, through no fault of their
own. Because of these circum­stances
it is natural that a stereo­type
of the Auburn female should
evolve in the fiendish minds of.
Auburn males.
However, there is more to the
Auburn co-ed than the mold as­pect.
The same attitudes, born out
of the tremendous ratio in favor
of the girls, is prevalent among
almost all co-eds on the campus
and goes into the making of the
typical Auburn co-ed. Our Auburn
co-ed does not bother to smile or
speak to the Auburn male as he
walks along the sidewalk unless
the Auburn male happens to have
on the right fraternity pin or hap­pens
to be particularly good look­ing.
There are exceptions, how­ever.
The young lady-may be some
sort of politician with visions of
beauty queen dancing in her head.
Then she will probably say hello
and elate and excite the Auburn
male.
Our typical Auburn female
dates only a person who fits into
her unique standard of who is
worthy to date her. This standard
is based on, aeain, fraternity, and
the position that particular fra­ternity
holds among her friends.
She usually demands that her as­piring
male admirers call her at
least a week in advance and only
goes back on this schedule when
she fears she will be left at the
dorm, sad fate for an Auburn co­ed.
The Auburn co-ed is more, so
much more: but time and tact do
not permit more here.
Should you, reader, be a co-ed
here who happnes to be exposed
to th*is piece of blashemy, never
fear. The Auburn co-ed has only
briefly been typified and stereo­typed.
This is not meant to say
all Auburn co-eds are the same.
You, my dear, are probably not
the typical Auourn co-ed. It's a
girl in a room down the hall.

1962, A u b u r n will become t h e second Alabama univer­sity
to offer the Ph.D. degree in
physics. According to Dr. Howard
Carr, head professor of physics,
this will help fill the accelerated
need in the South and in the na­tion,
for people with doctorates in
physics.

of higher education places great
demands on Auburn and other
Southern universities to provide
additional Ph.D. v graduates.. An
increasing interest of qualified
students in a program of this type
and the support for several new
graduate programs in engineering
are other factors which point out
the need for a doctoral program
in physics at Auburn.
The staff committee which pro­posed
the proposal for the Ph.D
program listed two main objec­tives:
"(1) to provide the tech­nology
of our area and the na­tion
with capable physicists and
(2) to encourage talented .young
individuals to. choose university
teaching and research as a ca­reer."
There has been a steady in­crease
in enrollment in the mas­ter's
program in physics at Au­burn
since 1958. About one-half
of the master's degree recipients
during 1960-61 are presently
working toward the Ph.D. degree
at other institutions. With the
expansion of Auburn's physics
graduate program, interested stu­dents
in our region will no longer
have to depend on other institu­tions
for their doctoral training.
With the completion of the new
physical science center on the
Auburn campus in 1963, the phy­sics
department will have addi­tional
space and facilities ade­quate
for a graduate program in­cluding
55 to 60 students, or
roughly about four times the
number which the department
can presently accommodate.
To aid in the inauguration of
the new program, five staff mem­bers
were added in the depart­ment
of physics last year, and
plans are being made to add two
more next year. Eleven of the
present staff have the rank of
assistant professor and above, and
nine of these hold the Ph.D. de­gree.
Some of the general areas to be
emphasized in the doctoral pro­gram
are theoretical physics,

of this type cancer in
the esophagus associated with the
esophageal worm of the dog. It
is one of the few cancers in man
and animal that appears to be
associated with infection caused
by a worm parasite. Most cases
of the cancer have been reported
from the Southeastern states by
the workers at Auburn's School
of Veterinary Medicine.
The role of the worm in its de­velopment
and the biology of the
cancer will be under study in the
expanded research program. A
research associate will devote full
time to the work under the direc­tion
of Drs. Bailey and Groth.
Cooperating in the study are Dr.
C. E. Evans, radiologist, and the
clinicians in the small animal
surgery and medicine depart­ment.

Peace Corps Needs
Home Economists
Nearly 500 volunteers with
training and experience in home
economics are needed by the U. S.
Peace Corps, according to infor­mation
received from Washington
by Dean Marion Spidle of Au­burn's
School of. Home Economics.
R. Sargent Shriver, Jr., corps
director, said that most of the na­tions
to be served are asking for
home economists, with the largest
number being requested by the
countries of Latin America. Such
countries as Brazil, Venezuela, Ni­geria
and India want volunteers
who can serve as home demon­stration
agents, 4-H-type c l ub
leaders, teachers in nutrition and
health, clothing and textile de­signers
and similar assignments.
The Peace Corps will begin re­cruiting
these specialists soon.
Dean Spidle said, "While the
number '500' is a staggering one
when we think of. the growing
need for home economists right
here on the home front, this Peace
Corps opportunity for interna­tional
service should be an excit­ing
and challenging one for home
economists.

6—THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1982
John Wallace
Whose Field Goal Is Longest?
It was a tense afternoon over in Athens. Auburn was battling
the Bulldogs of Georgia in an ancient SEC rivalry. As the sun went
down and the dust settled, the score stood 10-7. The man who had
made the difference . . . Woody Woodall, with a 47-yard field goal.
Woodall's kick set a new Auburn record for distance. So said all
accounts of the game after a check with Auburn's Bill Beckw.ith and
Norm Carlson.
A Dissenting Voice—
But up in Chattanooga a dissenting voice was heard. A few stal­warts
of seasons long since gone on the Plains remembered their play­ing
days. And they remembered longer kicks than that. And they
told people about them. So the Chattanooga Times ends up with this
story.
The head reads, "Auburn Kicking Mark Is Held By Williams."
In the Associated Press account of last Saturday's game between
Auburn and Georgia it was reported that the 47-yard field goal by
Woody Woodall in the second quarter was the longest ever kicked by
an Auburn player.
However, a Chattanoogan, Ernest K. (Clabber) Williams, playing
for the Tigers back in 1924, kicked two in one game which were long­er
than Woodall's 47-yarder.
The victim of Williams' boots was Clemson. According to Wil­liams'
account the first was good for 52 yards and the second was for
50 yards.
That is, the ball was actually kicked from the Clemson 48 for the
initial three-pointer and from midfield for the second. The uprights
were on the goal line then, so no additional yardage need be added
to find out the distance the ball traveled.
Both kicks were held by another Chattanoogan, Dean Petersen,
the present Commissioner of Education.
Williams now holds the position of head of security at Miller
Brothers Company.
The New Record Holder—
This then should have been the clincher. A check of records would
then reveal a few memories to be correct and the record holder would

This gamevdoes not count in the
conference standings.
Through 13 games, Coach Eaves'
team has surrended only 682
points for an average of 52.5 a
game. And according to the latest
figures released by the NCAA, it
places the Tigers third in the na­tion
on defense, back of Santa
Clara and San Jose State.
Eaves readied for the next two
games with anticipation. "We're
not too satisfied with the perfor­mance
of the team lately, but we
don't think they've let us down,
either. Our inexperience is still
showing and the only cure for that
is getting a few more games un­der
our belts," said Eaves.
He wasn't sure exactly who
would open up against the Tide
but said the starters would come
from among Center Layton Johns,
the leading scorer; Guards Larry
Chapman and Bill Ross, and For­wards

Harvey Johnston Gains Fan's Respect
In His Third Year With The Tigers
By WAYNE CHANCEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
In his third year at Auburn Har­vey
Johnston has finally come in­to
his own as a fine basketball
player. Fans have come to realize
that the 6'4", 185-pound sopho­more
from Ozark can and will
play some ball for this Auburn
team. Last season Harvey was red-shirted,
which leaves him with
two more eligible years as an Au­burn
Tiger.
Although Johnston was a rather
big man at Ozark High, he man­aged
to play very little basketball
He lettered only in his senior
year. But even in a short h i gh
school career, Harvey became
well-known as a touch man on
the boards.
As a freshman, Johnston took it
on his own to go out and make
the team. He did make the team
but could never manage a scholar­ship.
Harvey is now the only
member of the varsity squad not
on scholarship. Even so, he is an
asset to the team as he moves fast
for a 6-4 man and plays inside or
outside. He was used frequently
at guard earlier this season but
plays primarily forward at pres­ent.
Johnston's teammates call him

In Attempt To Pick All-Americans
By DAVE WALL
Assistant Sports Editor
Late last quarter, the Plainsman
sports staff received a number of
letters from Dave Mona, the
sports editor of the University of
Minnesota's campus newspaper.
Mr. Mona has begun a poll of all
major college campus newspapers
to determine the top collegiate
football players and teams in the
nation.
We of the sports staff, thinking
the idea extremely worthwhile
and interesting, filled out the
questionnaire and mailed it back
to the Twin Cities with great ex­pectations.
Well, we have received the re­sults
of this monstrous undertak­ing
under the name of the First
Annual National Collegiate All-
Ameircan Poll. The results are
amazing.
Ohio Stale nosed out the Crim­son
Tide for the top spot and fol­lowing'the
big two respectively
in the poll were Texas, LSU, Mis­sissippi,
and Minnesota. We
thought this reasonable but upon
glancing at the All-America se­lections
we winced.
The two fullbacks on the squad
were Larry (?) Ferguson of Ohio
State and Billy Rae Smith (?) of
Mississippi. No such players exist.
In this poll, George Saimcs of
Michigan was given an honorable
mention at the fullback spot. The
name of Michigan's fullback was
Bill Timniclil'f.
To really put the icing on the
cake was the selection of Lance
Alworth of Alabama at halfback.
Bet the Bear will be happy over
that one.
Please, give it up, Dave. Spend
more time on your studies.

Material Promising For Next Year's Team
As Freshmen Romp To Fourth Victory
By JOE FULLER
Plainsman Sports Writer
It looks as if Coach Joel Eaves
will have plenty of material to
add next year to his already po­tent
varsity. Several members of
the freshman team could give the
varsity starters a run for their
money. The Baby Tigers chalked
up their fourth straight win Sat­urday
with an 80-64 walloping of
Southern Union.
Billy Biles, who had to sit out
the game with Walker Junior
College last week because of an
injury, was high man for the Ti­gers
with 18 points. Freddie Guy,
playing his best game so far this
season, scored 16 points and con­trolled

University Claims
Wafer Ski Champ
Auburn University has present­ed
champions in football, basket­ball,
baseball and track within the
last five years. It carr now claim
a champion in still another sport
water skiing.
The enrollment of Virginia
(Jenny) Hodges of Birmingham
in the freshman class this year
makes this claim possible. Eigh­teen-
year-old Miss Hodges pres­ently
holds the title of champion
of the National Women's Slalom.
She won this victory last year in
Austin, Tex., where she competed
in the women's division including
people 17 years of age and older.
Her most recent skiing exper­ience
came on Dec. 8-10, in Aca-pulco,
Mexico, where she enter­ed
the Annual International Mexi­can
Water Ski Tournament. There
she competed with skiers from all
over the world, and placed high
on the list of winners, earning sec­ond
place in slalom, second place
in tricks, and third in jumping. A
film of this tournament was car­ried
Sunday, Jan. 14, on ABC's
television program, "Wide World
of Sports."
Miss Hodges traveled to Europe
in 1958 with Mrs. George Atkins
(Leah Marie Rawls), former world
water ski champion, where they
were both guests of the Italian
Water Ski Federation for compe­tition
and exhibition. Some of Miss
Hodges other victories include sec­ond
place in Slalom Nationals and
Florida State champion in 1960;
winner in the Lakeland, Fla., tour­nament
in 1960 and 1961; and
champion in the Master's Tourna­ment
at Ida Cason Callaway
Gardens in 1961.

But such was not the luck for Mr. Williams, and Mr. Woodall still

' But why? It seems that the NCAA did not start keeping records
until 1930 and collegiate records are dated from that point. Before
this time such things were primarily committed to memory and
memories being what they are, records were a haphazard affair.

State Falters Slightly;
Runs Into SEC Trouble
Mississippi State, last year's
Southeastern Conference cham­pions
and picked to be up near the
top this season, has been having
trouble in the last couple of. games.
The Vanderbilt Commodores
toppled State from the ranks of
the unbeaten Saturday night by
the tune of 100-86. Vandy com­bined
accurate shooting and a bal­anced
scoring attack in posting
their first win in the conference.
The Commodores sank 48.6 per
cent from the floor and five play­ers
hit in double figures. W. D.
Stroud was high man for State,
getting 27 points.
Then Tuesday night, the Bull­dogs
were hard pressed to win
from Georgia Tech 57-56, thus
taking some of the luster off, the
upcoming showdown between
State and Kentucky.
Kentucky, ranked No. 2 in the
nation and a strong favorite to
win their 20th SEC champion­ship,
trounced Louisiana State 84-
63 behind brilliant Cotton Nash
who poured in 26 points for the
Wildcats in a game played Friday.
Monday night the Wildcats con­tinued
their winning ways by
downing Tennessee 95-82.
Alabama, previously unbeaten
in conference play, fell to Florida
74-53 after playing even in the
first half. Big Cliff Luyk was the
big gun in the Gator offense, .lead­ing
the team in scoring and r e ­bounding.

Hot-Cold Plainsmen
Shocked By Florida
By DAVE WALL
A hot-and-cold University of
Florida basketball team shocked
the favored Auburn Tigers last
Saturday night on its home court
in Gainesville 43-40. The victory
was a costly one, however, as the
Gators lost three of their starting
five players to injuries. Lou Mer­chant,
the top scorer for the
Florida five all season, sustained
an ankle injury and according to
Coach Norm Sloan, will most
likely be out of action for the
rest of the season.
Also ailing, but somewhat less
seriously, are Cliff Luyk, the 6'
8" pivot man and top rebounder,
and Barbee, another regular.
Auburn, as per usual, played
a fine defensive game but ex­tremely
cold shooting percentages
by the Tigers gave Florida the
slight edge they needed. The
high-scoring Merchant was held
to 15 points by the nation's third-ranked
defense and Layton Johns
did a fine job on Luyk, the giant
center bucketing only 10 mark­ers.
Johns, the high scorer for Au^
burn, threw in 14 points followed
by Ross with 7, Chapman and
Kirkland with 6 each, Tinker 5
and Blackwell 2.

Sigma Nu, Theta Chi Charity Bowl Year's Most Outstanding Event
Snakes Methodically Pound Out 6-0 Win
Amidst Pomp, Pageantry of C-Bowl Game
Auburn's collegiate football season was ended Satur­day,
as Sigma Nu methodically pounded out a 6-0 victory
over Theta Chi midst the pomp and pageantry of Auburn's
annual T-Bowl. The pressure-packed game was played, be­fore
some 700 avid fans in a Cliff Hare s t a d i um that reverba-rated
with the sound of cheers.

by virtue of her sorority's $113.75

The first half of play in the T-Bowl
was dominated by Theta
Chi, who, behind the able direct­ing
of quarterback Harry Strond
and by the thrusts of Theta Chi
backs, kept the ball in Sigma Nu
year took on added significance
as the prize money was increased
to two hundred dollars, each
of them putting up half. Sigma Mu
gleefully gathered in the mone­tary
spoils, the traditional T-Bowl
trophy, and the intangible
glory for their slim third-quarter
victory. They won and they were
happy and the score didn't really
matter.
Sigma Nu's weren't the only
the winner. But this year it was
Sigma Nu. It happened in the'
third quarter when Snake passer
Ronnie Duncan threw a short bul­let
to halfback Jim Bachus. This
boy Bachus is a runner and he
wouldn't be stopped on that play.
Dodging, feigning, running over
men, he carried the ball 30 yards
through a mass of Theta Chi jer­seys
and finally across the goal.
This and this alone was the mar­gin
of victory. It could have hap­pened

two quarters of scoreless play to
hear the name of the winning girl
and the two names of the runner-ups.

Wrestling Team Downs Bulldogs 21 -11;
Tigers Victorious In All But 3 Classes
By JIMMY JOHNSTON
Plainsman. Sports Writer
The Auburn University wrest­ling
team downed the Georgia
Bulldogs last Saturday night 21-
11. Auburn won all of the matches
in the different weight classes
except the 130 pound division, the
137 and the 157 pound class.
The wrestling team is another
of Auburn's fine sports tcai.is that
is often overlooked. This team
has accomplished many things
during the last few years. They
have placed in the nation's top
10 within the last three years.
This year they are in the top
twenty, and are on the move up­ward.
:
The team as a whole is about
the same as last year considering
the loss of some very fine wrest­lers.
Coach Umbach says of the
team: "The team this year has
good possibilities althought they
are weak in places. The sopho­mores
have helped us a great
deal."

very cold second half, scoring on­ly
14 points.
But the Gators win was a cost­ly
one. Lou Merchant, their all-
Conference guard, suffered a frac­tured
bone in his foot and will
probably be lost for the season.
In the conference standings,
Kentucky is on top of the heap
with a 4-0 record, followed by
Tulane 2-0, Alabama 2-1, LSU 3-
1, and Mississippi State with a 2-1
slate. The rest in order are Van-derbilt,
Auburn, Tennessee, Flori­da,
, Georgia, and Georgia Tech.
In the scoring department, Ker-win
of Tulane leads with a 22.1
average followed by Kentucky's
sensational Cotton Nash with a
21.8 average. Others are Kessing-er,
Miss. 19.3; Pursiful, Ken. 18.9;
Luyk, Fla. 18.5; Mitchell, Miss. St.

territory for virtually the whole
half.
Theta Chi took the opening
kick-off and, using both single
wing and T formations, drove
down to the Sigma Nu 40, where
the team ran into a tightened
Snake defense. Sigma Nu, their
moment not yet come, took the
punt and could not move the ball,
facing the same fate as Theta
Chi. After another exchange of
punts, the lackluster first half
came to an end.
The half-time ceremonies were
of luster for the chilly watchers.
In addition to the presentation of
the queen, a band composed of
pledges from both fraternities and
led by Webb Sledge performed
precision movements to the de­light
of the crowd. Everyone pre­sent
stood solemn and straight
as the band formed an unmis-takeable
representation of an out­house
and played the T-Bowl
Alma Mater.
The third quarter was the big
quarter, the winning quarter for
Sigma Nu. And the Snakes took
advantage of a fumbled ball on
an attempted punt by Theta Chi.
Very shortly the score read 6-0
and really the game was over.
And the Sigma Nu's were happy.
Theta Chi could not move against
an inspired defense and Sigma
Nu ruled the remaining part of
the ball game.
It was over, the last ball game
of the collegiate football season.
And the fans filed out and it was
sad to see Cliff Hare stadium so
bleak and bare.
Intramural Basketball Has Exciting Moments
By BOB MAYFIELD
Intramural Sports Editor
Intramural basketball had some
exciting moments this past week
with some high and low scoring
ball games. In the independent
league, the Zombies and the
Blocks ran up their scores on
the Nets and the Auburn 5, win­ning
69-29 and 64-23, respective­ly.
Mikkelson, of the Zombies
split the nets for 22 points, while
Waller and Logue of the Blocks
went home with 16 points apiece.
In another game, Dinkins, hitting
for 18 points, led the Rebels over
the Forestry Club, 31-30.
The first week of fraternity
competition found another strong
ATO team dominating league 1
with wins over LCA and PDT.
The strong point of this ATO
team is its balanced scoring. John
Darby leds the team with 25
points in two games, but three
of his teammates have scored in
the' double figures.
SPE has stepped into the spot­light
in league 2, by also win­ning
their first two games, and
SN has accomplished this same
feat to take the lead in league 3.
League 4 is tied between PKT
and DC. Both teams won their
first and only games of last week.
Bowling began last Wednesday
and the first two weeks results
will appear in The Plainsman
next week. Be sure to check the
printed schedule to see when
your division or fraternity bowls
