Anderson Cops First
In 33rd Running
Of Frosh Cake Race
Johnny Anderson, Anniston
freshman, fought off the chall­enge
of Frank Feagin to win the
33rd running of the ODK-Wil-bur
Hutsell Cake Race Wednes­day.
Anderson's time over the 2.7
mile course was 14:50.7 while
Feagin was clocked in the run­ner-
up spot in 15:04.5.
Cakes were presented to the
first 25 finishers, but the special
award, a kiss from Miss Auburn,
Marybeth Coker, will go to An­derson.
Sigma Nu captured first among
fraternity finishers with their
first five men compiling a total
of 90 points. Pi Kappa Phi nail­ed
down the second position with
131 points followed by Lambda
Chi Alpha, 175, Sigma Chi, 186,
Kappa Alpha, 211, and Theta Chi,
213.
Finishing in third place was
Seth Hart while Barcroft Hall
and Dan Storey rounded out the
first five. Larry Lee, Jerry Mc-
Williams, Bill Morrow, Lloyd
Griffin and Ronnie Nichols fol­lowed
in that order.
Miss Coker led the freshmen
over the course in the pace car
after a late start. Close to 500
men attempted the grueling trek,
but not all finished on the chilly
afternoon.
CAKE RACE WINNER John Anderson smiles happily after vanquishing some 500 Auburn fresh­men
in the annual Wilbur Hutsell-ODK cake race. Shown in the picture are Coach Hutsell, Mary­beth
Coker, Miss Auburn, and Anderson, an Anniston freshman.

infant research portion of the
building.
Most of the funds for construc­tion
will come from Auburn's por­tion
of the $100 million bond is­sue
authorized by the 1959 Legis­lature.
The home economics facility
will be one of a number of build­ings
under construction on the Au­burn
campus. A mammoth physi­cal
science center for the School
of Chemistry, departments of phy­sics
and mathematics, and a com­puter
laboratory is being created
by Mid-South Construction Co. of
Montgomery on Roosevelt Dr.
south of the women's dormitory
area and east of Sports Arena.
Construction cost is $2,815,000, but
total expense including equipment
will be around $3,224,000.

'WAR EAGLE1 IN GRASS
SOARS; ON iBAMAn&AMim -
From The Montgomery Advertiser
UNIVERSITY (Special)—Ingenious Auburn students have scored
a success at the University of Alabama. Now adorning a section of
the Quadrangle behind Denny Chimes are two sets of grass letters
each plainly spelling "War Eagle."
The sowing of winter grass seed in block letters was timed so the
grass would sprout bright green during the week preceding the Au­burn-
Alabama football classic. The smaller words measure approxi­mately
eight feet high and 48 feet long, with the larger stretching 15
feet high and 110 feet long.
There is an agreement between the two schools that there will
be no defacing of property due to the rivalry, but as one Student
Government Association official remarked, "Who can argue that
planting grass defaces property?"

Auburn Team Wins
Deep South Debate
Over Eight Squads
By LISA SANDERS
With Billie Jean Walker and
Jim Vickery leading the way,
Auburn's debate squad took first
place among the eight competing
schools at the Deep South De­bate
Tournament in Clinton,
Miss., Saturday.
The question in debate was:
Resolved — that labor unions
should be under the jurisdiction
of anti-trust laws. Each squad
gave both sides in alternate
rounds, and each school was al­lowed
two teams. Miss Walker
and Vickery, with a record of
five wins and one loss, out-de­bated
Mississippi College, Cen­tenary
College, Mississippi South­ern,
an&both LSU teams. Their
onlyj<nols was to Mississippi
Solfijfiern's second team.
^burn'*AsTotheri4«iHBL,-.^»£vatb
Lewis and Harvey Weeks; had a
three and two record, winning
against Centenary and Mississip­pi
Southern, and losing to LSU
and Northwestern Louisiana.
There are two divisions to de­bate
tournaments, junior and sen­ior.
Auburn only entered the sen­ior
division, which is -for juniors
and seniors in college.
Fourteen teams debated in this
tourney. Auburn's over-all record
was eight wins and four losses.
According to debate coach
Rhea, there are strong arguments
for both sides of the "Should la­bor
unions be considered trusts?"
question. They can be monopolis­tic
and price-fixing; but, on the
other hand it was argued that la­bor
unions in the U.S. aren't
strong enough to effectively con­trol
or harm our economy. This
question will be debated in tour­naments
all over the country this
year. .

Kappa Sigs Hold
Groundbreaking
By JEANNE SWANNER
Groundbreaking for the Kappa
Sigma fraternity house will be
held on Dec. 10, the fraternity's
Founders Day, from two to four
in the afternoon.
The new house will cost ap­proximately
$175,000 and will
be completed by September, 1962.
It will be the fourth house for the
Auburn chapter. The original
house, built in 1916 on the cor­ner
of East Magnolia and North
Gay, was the first fraternity
house on the Auburn campus. It
burned in 1918.but was rebuilt
in 1919 at the same site.- The
chapter built its present house
on North Gay in 1938.
There will be several brief
speakers for the ceremony: Dr.
Robert C. Anderson, executive
vice-president of Auburn Uni­versity;
W. E. Howard,' faculty
advisor; Mr. George Dunn, alum­ni
advisor; and Paul Shields Ha­ley,
one of the founding fathers
of the Auburn chapter.
Kappa Sigma had its beginning
in this country at the University
of Virginia in 1869. It was offi­cially
founded at the University
of Bologna in 1400.
A Phi O's To Open
Book Exchange In
L-Building Tunnel
Alpha Phi Omega National
Service Fraternity will have the
formal opening of the Non-Profit
Student Book Exchange at the
new location in the L-Building
Tunnel at the first of the Winter
Quarter.
In the past, the Book Exchange
has been located under the steps
of Langdon Hall and, prior to
that, in the basement of the Mu­sic
Building. Both of the former
locations were cramped for space
and not conveniently located; as
a result, Alpha Phi Omega, was
not able to serve the student body
as well as it would have liked.
. The new location has both.the
convenience' of central location
and adequate space. The new lo­cation
has already been used to
great advantage in the distribut-tion
of Campus Packs and Career
Books.
Students can bring their books
to the Student Book Exchange at
the end of this quarter. The Ex­change
will be open to take
books from Dec. 8 to 14.
The date for the formal open­ing
will be announced later.

Anderson Attends
Education Meeting
Dr. Robert C. Anderson, Exe­cutive
Vice-President of Auburn
University, has recently return­ed
from Louisville, Ky., where
he met with representatives of 16
Southern states to hear the report
of the Commission on Goals for
Higher Education in the South.
The unprecedented meeting,
called to release the Commission
report by Governor Buford El­lington
of Tennessee, chairman
of the Southern Governors' Con­ference,
and Governor Terry San-ford
of North Carolina, chairman
of the Southern Regional Educa­tion
Board, attracted governors,
legislators and educators from
the South.
The Goals Commission report
is a comprehensive blueprint for
action to guide the South in de­veloping
a system of higher ed­ucation
"second to none in the
nation." It is the product of near­ly
a year's study by seven of the
region's most prominent citizens,
under the guidance of Commis­sion
Chairman, Colgate W. Dar-den,
Jr., former governor of Vir­ginia.

Ford Motor To Hire More Graduates;
Positions Cover All Academic Areas
Ford Motor Company plans to
hire nearly 30 per cent more col­lege
graduate trainees in 1962
than in 1961, Kenneth D. Cassidy,
vice-president of industrial rela­tions,
announced today.
A team of interviewers coor­dinated
by James M. Osborne,
manager of college recruiting,
will visit colleges and universi­ties
from coast to coast in search
of 807 candidates for a two-year
training program with Ford. In
1961, the company hired 625 such
college graduates.
"In the coming months, we will
be seeking graduates of all aca­demic
backgrounds—liberal arts,
business, engineering, and sci­ence,"
Mr. Cassidy said. "We want
candidates offering solid scholas­tic
records, management poten­tial,
and willingness to work
hard."
According to Mr. Osborne, the
807 graduates sought by Ford rep­resent
firm requests from various
components of the company. In­cluded
are 150 in engineering and
research, 245 in manufacturing,
189 in finance, and 130 in sales
and marketing. Others will be
employed in purchasing, traffic,
industrial relations, product plan­ning,
styling, and public relations.
In order to secure the larger
number of new employees, Ford
recruiters will hold 7,500 inter­views
on 125 campuses next year,
up from 6,900 interviews in 1961.
• The two-year training program
consists of three or four assign­ments
of increasing responsibil­ity
in the staff or division to
which the graduate is assigned.
Among positions available to
liberal arts graduates, for in­stance,
are opportunities in sales
administration in the car and
truck divisions, as foremen in
manufacturing plants, or as an­alysts
in purchasing and indus­trial
relations.

There will be a very brief but
important meeting tomorrow night.
Everyone is required to be there.

AU's Longest Name
The longest surname in the his­tory
of Auburn University be­longs
to a . graduate student in
mathematics from Thailand (Si-am).
Auburn's Alumni Associa­tion
can verify the fact.
The student is Janjai Chaya-vadhanangkwi.
He says he never
has problems having his name
confused with that of other stu­dents.
At the same time, the
"handle" scarcely allows him any
anonymity.

Students Offered Musical Activities:
Band, Glee Club, Operas And Concerts
By J IM VICKERY
One of the most appreciated
and interesting activities on the
Auburn campus which is sup­ported
by funds made available
from the Student Activity Fee
budget is the work of the Music
Department. This varied activity
includes the marching band and
the glee clubs, opera workshop
and ' concert orchestra. One or
more of these four facets of the
Auburn music picture is usually
active at all times during the
school year. For the music lov­ers
on campus and in the local
community, one of these func­tions
can satisfy almost any musi­cal
appetite. Whether one likes
the excitement and color of foot-bair
music played by a marching
band,, the thrill and inspiration
of the performance of Auburn's
Messiah or the scintilating en­joyment
of a concert orchestra,
there is ample opportunity to
experience one here.
The Auburn band, requiring
three per cent of the Student Ac­tivity
budget or nearly $8400, has
presented performances at all
varsity football games and uses
a small band to provide music
at selected basketball games and

in the spring at the annual "A"
Day game. The band has also
participated in pep rallies and
parades and provides music for
Village Fair, as well as the mili­tary
reviews at the end of each
quarter. It also offers regular
scheduled concerts during the
Winter, Spring and Summer
quarters. All band performances
are free to students.
The Music budget of the Stu­dent
Activity Fee, to be distin­guished
from funds allocated to
the Band, supports the glee clubs,
the opera workshop and the con­cert
orchestra. Over $2600 or one
and a quarter per cent of the to­tal
budget goes to help support
the Music Department. The
money is employed for instru­ment
repairing, new equipment
and instruments, orchestra music,
glee club music and advertising
of performances. All presenta­tions
are free to students.
A typical year, such as 1958-
59 will demonstrate how active
these three groups are. The glee
clubs presented seven perform­ances
before approximately 3,500
people. The opera workshop of­fered
two presentations and the
concert orchestra presented three
concerts.
These musical groups render a
definite service to the university
by providing training. for stu-

Campus Honor Societies
By DON PHILLIPS
This week The Plainsman continues its series of features
on campus Greek-letter and elective honor societies with six
more of Auburn's more than fifty honoraries. As we have said
before, due to limited space only a short outline of each can
be given.

Quality Education-"Within Our Reach"
Last week in Louisville, Ky., the South
was presented a plan to promote excel­lence
in its educational system and thereby
foster true economic progress and intel­lectual
leadership. This report was pre­sented
to a meeting of Southern leaders in
the fields of education, government and
business by the Commission on Goals for
Higher Education in the South, a special
seven-member study group set up 14
months ago by the Southern Regional Edu­cation
Board to chart long-range educa­tional
needs for the South.
The report was an excellent blueprint
for progress, designed to foster the welfare
of this section of the country. It offers a
challenge to the South—a challenge to pre­pare
for greatly increased enrollment, to
provide every citizen with opportunity for
maximum development of his abilities re­gardless
of artificial barriers, to accelerate
the economic progress of this region
through education and research, to shift
the emphasis of our universities from the
football field to the campus library, and a
host of others.
"Within Our Reach" is, not unsignifi-cantly,
the title of this report. Excellence,
however, costs money. The commission
pointed out that only by the action of edu­cators,
state governments and the public
can we have quality education. It stated,
"Because the Southern region has a lower
income than the rest of the nation it must
make a proportionately greater1 effort, in
order to achieve quality higher education.
The effort necessary to get the job done
is substantial, but no better investment can
be made."
Except for some derogatory comments
on the report's equal opportunity ideas ex­pressed
by a few adament, self-seeking poli­ticians,
this plan was met with almost uni­versal
approbation. It is now imperative
that Southerners do something about it. "In
the last analysis," the commission declared,
"the urgency of our situation is matched
only by the opportunity it offers. If the
difficulties are great, the stakes are also
high and the rewards commensurate.
Southern higher education stands today at
the crossroads. It is essential that the peo­ple
of the South heed the call to greatness.
The time to act is now.'
Some people have already heeded this
call. Tennessee's Governor, Buford Elling­ton,
for instance, immediately called a meet­ing
of all presidents of public and private
colleges and universities in that state to
begin implementation of a program to im­prove
higher education there in line with
the commission's report.
We need this type of energetic leader­ship
in the cause of education throughout
the South and especially here in Alabama,
where it has been so sadly lacking in the
past. We need an increased awareness of
our acute educational crisis and corres­ponding
responsible leadership to correct
it on the part of our governor, our legis­lature,
our business, civic and educational
leaders, our newspapers, and our ordinary
citizens.
Without this effort, Alabama and the
rest of the South is doomed to mediocrity
at best. Quality education is within our
reach. No one can deny it to the South but
Southerners.
This Younger Generation?
Since many students will soon be goi,ng
home to face irate parents and listen to
tirades on poor grades, pecuniary irres­ponsibility,
and that old "what's this young­er
generation coming to" bit, we feel that
the following quote we noticed last week
could possibly be of some help:
"Our youth now loves luxury. They
have bad manners, contempt for authority,
disrespect for older people. Children now­adays
are tyrants. They no longer rise
when their elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter beforej
company, gobble their food and tyrannize
their teachers."
The author? Socrates.
Violence In McComb
from the Chattanooga Times
As the lone dissenting voice among
scores of educators, Chancellor J. D. Wil­liams
of the University of Mississippi said
he was somewhat appalled by the sugges­tion
of the Commission on Goals for High­er
Education in the South that colleges and
universities provide leadership in the solv­ing
of social problems.
But whatever one's views on race, the
validity of this suggestion is shown among
other things by the signal leadership of the
University of Georgia faculty not long ago
in helping to head off an explosive racial
situation in that state. Other Georgia in­stitutions
followed suit.
And certainly, leadership from some
quarter was needed for the four young men
who yesterday assaulted three Time and
Life newsmen who were in McComb, Miss.,
to cover the story there.
The brutal beating of Negroes Wednes­day
came after months of tension in Mc­Comb,
stemming originally from a Negro
voting registration attempt. In Pike Coun­ty,
which includes McComb, 207 of the 6,-
936 non-white voting age population are
registered. Neighboring Walthall County,
45 per cent Negro, is one of 13 Mississippi
counties with no Negro registrants. In also-neighboring
Amite County, one Negro is
registered out of a voting^age population of
3,560 non-whites.
Yesterday's beating of newspapermen
came after a forthright expression from
city officials of determination to uphold
and enforce the law—an expression deserv­ing
intelligent support from the region as
a whole; and one that will have the special
backing of those communities which have
succeeded and which hope to succeed in
demonstrating the solid, absolutely para­mount
advantages of avoiding violence.
It happens that resentment against Life
and Time for their strong stand on racial
matters is fairly widespread in the South.
But what Mississippi university and other
leadership of course failed to provide four
woefully ignorant young men was the
knowledge that in blind gesture against
"publicity" they had only served to bring
down opprobrium upon their state in the
most widely circulated journals in the land.
Atlanta worked painstakingly for two
years-—successfully—to avoid just the sort
of thing that happened in McComb, Miss.,
yesterday and in previous days. Other com­munities
are at work to the same end.
The week's events are likely to drive home
more effectively the worth of leadership at
all levels; most assuredly at the level of
Southern institutions of higher learning.
Letters To The Editor
Crimson-White Managing Editor Lauds Bryant Picture
Editor, The Plainsman:
This is just a letter of con­gratulation
to the student
body of Auburn for the fine
conduct and spirit shown at
the Auburn-Alabama game
Saturday. I feel that the stu­dents
of Alabama share my
feelings in this matter.
Our SGA President has said
that he felt your running a
picture of Bear Bryant on the
front page last week was de­rogatory
and ridiculing. I per­sonally
felt that it was funny
as hell. We like the Bear and
what he has done for Alabama
football, but if humorous digs
can't be taken in good spirit,
we ought td pack our bags and
go home.

PRECARIOUS PATHWAY
Literary Magazine Off Probation
Auburn Critique - Victim Of Politics, Campus Apathy -
Pulls Through As Student Leaders Take Concern And Act
Auburn's student leaders are at
least active. Just before the holi­days,
as reported in the Novem­ber
22 Plainsman, the student
senate patted the fledging publi­cation,
The Auburn Critique, on
the head and sent it forth to win
fame, fortune and a following. To
most observers this may have ap­peared
to be a routine matter
with the Critique never in any
danger. But not so.
In the fall of '60 the Critique
had gained enough administrative
and student leader support to face
the senate. Official recognition
was the goal, and the future of
the magazine was at stake. It en­tered
the arena of some hundred
arid thirty-plus student organi­zations
and was willing to take
its chance with the senate.
At that early date there was
plenty of suspicion ond a lot of
misconception still hovering over
the head of the Critique. It's al­ways
hard to push a new idea,
even at a university. As a repre­sentative
of the Critique, this
writer sat in on the senate meet­ing
when the Auburn Critique
Association's constitution was put
on trial. The constitution was
clean and left little in the way of
bones to be picked. The major
objection concerned what was felt
to be an unusual amount of free­dom
the Critique was to enjoy.
One senator suggested that the
senate appoint the Critique's fa­culty
advisor as a means of main­taining
control over the publica­tion.
The idea was too ridiculous
to be accepted even by the rest of
the senate. The vote was unani­mous
for approving the Critique's
probationary period of one year.
Last year the Council on Stu­dent
Organizations was set up to
investigate and approve new or­ganizations
on probation and pass
on their evaluation to the senate
for consideration. A grand idea
when there are over a hundred
and thirty organizations to be
dealt with. The Critique was this
committee's baby to make or
break—it seemed.
Early this fall it became known
that the committee was unhappy
with the Critique. After a year of
silence a lot of people in power
were suddenly concerned about
the magazine.
Now the only logical way to
judge an organization without
bias is to determine whether or
not it has actively lived up to the
conditions of its constitution. The
purpose of the Auburn Critique
Association, as stated in its con­stitution,
was to publish a maga­zine.
This it did, come hell or
high water. Members of the Cri­tique
Association were justly con­cerned
when it was feared that
the orginzation was in danger of
not winning full acceptance.
The Council could not find a
lack of activity in the association;
the magazine had been published
and disseminated. There was
some concern about the quality of
the editorials, and about the ma­terial
that had been printed. It
doesn't seem to this writer that
such is the concern of the Coun­cil
on Student Organizations, oth­er
than that the members of the
Council might be subscribers
tending to feel that they weren't
getting their money's worth.
By W. H. Byrd
But someone seemed determin­ed
to see the Critique sweat a
little longer before the axe fell.
On the basis of some speculations
about organizational problems,
the committee recommended an
extension of probation. The or­ganizational
difficulties cited
could not have been remedied in
the quarter allotted. Organiza­tion
takes time, as the senate and
the Council should well know.
The recommendation of the com­mittee
carried with it an impli­cation
of a kind of peculiar^''
double standard of evaluation and ••
judgment. It would be well if this
council's means and methoct werk A
more carefully spelled out''£6c'tne
student body and to the 'several
organizations who come under its"1'
scrutiny. The present proposal'to;
reevaluate the council may be the '
better way out.
There was nothing the Critique
could do about the recommenda­tion.
It remained to the student
senate to pass final judgment. The
Critique won full recognition by
the slim margin of 6 to 5. Some
of the senate, it seems, were not
content to rubber-stamp the com­mittee's
recommendation. This in
itself may well be an unprece­dented
action on the part of stu­dent
leaders.
This writer was genuinely sur­prised
by the action of the senate,
not because it failed to rubber-stamp
a recommendation but be­cause
there was at least some
concern to put the Critique on
sounder footing. Thanks to at
least six of eleven student lead­ers,
the sounder' footing is there
to be built upon.
- Critique supporters seemed well
aware of the magazine's poten­tial,
and even more aware that
if it died now it would be a long
time before another such publica­tion
could see the light of day.
The Critique has suffered through
administrative resistance in its
initial stages, through the usual
amount of apathy and discon-cernment
of a student body,
through organizational problems
that plague any publication, and
finally through campus politics
and student leaders. It is still
around. Its determination seems
to have made up for a lot of other
deficiencies.
Individuals Isolated .
Conformity Comes To College Campus;
Leadership Ideal Suffers Consequences
By Harry Wilkinson
In a day and age when colleges
.are required to provide our na­tion's
leadership, we find the
campuses demanding norms of
conformity which are completely
contrary to the production of
capable leaders. A leader should
be an individual, one who can
inspire others through the abil­ity
and quality he radiates with­in
himself. Student life at Au­burn
seems to demand much more
than its fair share of nonessen­tial
conformity.
To begin with, the curricula of
study which we pursue is over­loaded
with material in which our
major fields are indirectly or not
at all concerned with. For in­stance,
it is inconceivable to me
why a history and English major
should be required by his
school to take 10 hours of biologi­cal
and 10 hours of physical sci­ence,
etc. Is this not an age which
requires specialization?
It seems even more senseless
when individuals are condemned
and sometimes harrassed by high­er
authority for stating publicly
opinions on which a majority of
the campus does not concur. What
ever happened to that old concep­tion
that free speech was though-provoking
and in the good inter­est
of the people at large regard­less
of whether we agree with it
or not.
Now we turn to perhaps the
most acute case of campus con­formity
demands, the social life.
How many girls on this campus
date or will date boys solely on
their merits as individuals re­gardless
of the fact that a boy
does not belong to a so-called
top fraternity? How many men
date girls solely because they are
mentally alert and have outstand­ing
personalities and characters
regardless of sorority affiliation,
physical attributes and moral
'open-mindedness'?
We seem to frown upon. and
find suspect students who pro­fess
religious ideals which are 'off
the beaten track.' And what about
the guy who goes to church every
Sunday and really doesn't drink
and smoke? Isn't he a strange
outcast?
These are a few of the many
overzealous demands for con­formity
which are to be found on
this campus. Our society definite­ly
needs a certain degree of sta­bility,
and relative rates of con­formity
help to stabilize it. How­ever,
the common demands such
norms as those above that are r i ­diculous
to say the least. An in­dividual
who is an individual be­cause
the demands of his consci­ence,
character and personality
demand it should be respected
although his ideas and ways may
seem obtrusive to us.
And yet we may say that this
radical individualist is just an
'odd-ball.' His views couldn't
possibly be respected when more
than two-thirds of the Auburn
campus thinks and acts different­ly.
Well, many years ago in a
little country called Israel, a big
. majority crucified one of these
individuals whose views and way
of life was intolerable. His name
was Jesus Christ. And that big
majority who demanded His con­formity
turned out to be wrong.
Could It Be That We Are Too Serious,
That We Need More Parlies, Pranks!
By Jim Dinsmore
We find consolation in hell or,
rather, in the raising of it. And
this is not bad but good.
We cannot always win, ob­viously.
Sometimes we will lose,
sometimes for years on end we
will lose. And then we will win
again maybe next year, maybe
ten from now. Not just in foot­ball,
but in life, in everything
I'm nineteen and that's always
the way it's been for me—up and
down. Right now I'm down.
So raise hell. Enjoy the parties
and I think they were enjoyed af­ter
one particular recent defeat.
And, for the Lord's sake, don't
be a prude. If you don't know
how to enjoy life then shut your
damn mouth and don't try to
spoil it for everyone. I realize
that some people are afraid that
their stainless steel morals might
be stained, but certainly they
shouldn't try to judge everyone
on the criterion of stainless steel.
It could be that parties and
hell raising are escapes. On the
other hand, it could be that par­ties
are the only things that are
real in this day and age, every­thing
else, the humdrum of daily
life, being as false as an alumi­num
Christmas tree or a Santa
Claus with rouge where a blush
should be.
It's often hard to discern ser­iousness
from triviality. A man is
a fool if he tries to pursue one to
the complete exclusion of the "oth­er.
They overlap and interwine
like comedy and tragedy—all of
which leaves us in this web of
life tottering on one thin thread
with finals on both sides and the
Christmas crossroads ahead.
My point is this—we need more
spirit, more spunk, more activity,
more hell raising. What? More? I
think maybe we do. It took some
thought and action to plant that
War Eagle with rye grass on the
beautiful Tuscaloosa lawn. It
sprouted just right and our grass
was greener. This I like rather
than to listen to some good look­ing
Auburn student expound on
Auburn spirit and what it means.
What does it mean? Does it exist
or is it the figment of Dean Foy's
imagination? Well, you can find
indications of it on the ground
behind Denny Chimes. And there
are more, better and just as tan­gible
indications, but I chose this
one as my example. Others will
probably disagree w i t h my
choice. The members of the Au­burn-
Alabama better relations
committee from both schools are
liable to say that it was not a
true indication of spirit but only
a childish prank. Childish? May­be
so. But I like to be childish
now and then. I can't stay serious
all the time. I like to get up and
do something crazy now and then.
I say childish is, perhaps, being
real. Though Auburn certainly
isn't a campus that is intellec­tually
serious, we are, perhaps,
serious over many little things,
like football, politics, fraternity.
We need relief from our serious­ness.
I only wish I had been along
when those Auburn boys sowed
their crop of spirit in Tuscaloosa.
These words may seem idle
and irrelevent and out of place
in a college newspaper. Yet per­haps
they have more meaning
than anything written about the
all-campus find drive or the John
Birch Society or student leaders.
It is so hard to discern the ser­ious
from the trivial.
Some Small Movement. . .
AU Students Offered Variety Of Arts;
Student Interest Could Be Mounting
By Ed James
It was encouraging to hear
some one say the Other day that
she thought there-«was a genuine
and quickening interest among
Auburn students concerning the
arts. The speaker happened to be
a contestant in the recent Miss
Alabama contest, and she was
echoing the judges' sentiments
on the quality of the talent dis­played.
Evidently there seemed to
be some small movement of the
contestants toward the more seri­ous
forms of entertainment.
Whether a movement of inter­est
toward the arts is occurring
here one cannot be sure. Possibly
some small interest is being dis­played,
but the problem remains
to create a more lively interest by
providing those things which it
can feed on.
It is interesting and surprising
to note that the symphony or­chestras
sponsored by the Concert
and . Lecture Committee drew
crowds considerably larger than
.those present at what would
seemingly be more popular enter­tainment
such as Joni James or
Dave Gardner. The fact that a
concert is free and that certain
classes are required to go does
boost attendance. But interest and
enjoyment has not suffered as
shown by the enthusiastic recep­tion
accorded both the Detroit
and Minneapolis orchestras, and
entertainment of this nature con­tinues
to be the most popular of­fering
of the committee with les­ser
interest being shown in the
ballets and lectures.
Turning from music to art one
can find a great variety of
work displayed in Biggin Gallery
throughout the year. Exhibitions
of work submitted by students,
faculty, and prominent artists
outside Auburn may be seen, and
these range from sculpture to ar­chitectural
photography.
Lastly there is the library with
its none-too-voluminous collec­tion
of volumes as should benefit
a university of Auburn's size. It is
hoped that this situation will be
remedied when the new library
opens, nevertheless, what is there
is there and one should be quick
to take advantage of it.
Last In Education . . .
State Can Give More Education Aid,
Willingness Seems To Be Answer
From the Auburn ALUMNEWS
Another set of statistics turns
up to support a contention that
we have long maintained: Ala­bama
can afford to spend more
for public education.
A U.S. Department of Com­merce
Bureau of Census report
of government finances in 1959
shows that Alabama in that year
ranked 39th in the total amount
of state and local taxes collected
per $100 of income. To put it an­other
way, the citizens of 38 other
states paid more than we from
each $100 income for state and
local government services, includ­ing
education.
If we don't do something about
the shameful condition of public
schools and colleges in Alabama,
iet us at least be honest about
it and say "We don't want to," in­stead
of hiding behind a hypo­critical
"We can't afford to."
Some pundit may arise to
question the conclusion that we
have drawn here, saying that
Alabatna is a poor state and that
the poor man cannot afford as
large a tax from each $100 in­come
as a more well-to-do citi­zen.
On the surface the argument
has merit. Alabama is a poor
state: in 1960 our average per
capita was $1,400; only three
states were lower—Mississippi
with $1,162 per capita, South Car­olina
with $1,332, and Arkansas
with $1,322.
All three of these "poorer"
states, however, took more in to­tal
state and local taxes from
eaeh $100 of the taxpayer's in­come:
Alabama's total take is
$7.17 per $100 income; South Car­olina's
$8.17; Arkansas's $8.98;
and Mississippi's $10.57.
Once, on matters of education,
we said "Thank God for Missis­sippi."
Their poor record in sup­port
of education prevented ours
from serving as "the worst exam­ple."
Thanks for this dubious
blessing are now long out of or­der.
Alabama ranks at the bottom
of the states in per pupil expendi­ture:
Mississippi, despite • the
lowest per capita income in the
nation, does considerably better.
In 1959 Alabama expended $164
per pupil; Mississippi $181. Na­tional
average for the same year
was $340.00.
Perhaps relative poverty does
put expenditure at anything ap­proaching,
the national average
out of our reach, but we have to
admit that Mississippi takes away
our excuse for doing nothing un­til
we get rich.

SPOTLIGHT

CHARLES McCAY
Sports Editor
The 'Big One' Is Over-
The big one is over. Time has run out on the 1961 edition of, the
Auburn Tiger football team.
The year's record stands six wins, four losses—the worst since
1952.
The score of the last game—34 to 0.
Looks pretty bad, huh?
Maybe so if you just read this far.
But wait. There is a bright side to this story.
I know I've become more or less a self-made morale builder this
year, but I am very proud of the record chalked up by Auburn teams
over the past few years and I see no reason to fall out with the coach
and players this year.
If I may,'I'd like to recap Saturday's game with special empha­sis
on the play of the Tigers.
Several Auburn men did themselves proud against the best team
in the nation. Among these were Bo Davis, Howard Simpson, and of
course Bobby Hunt, who has come forth with excellent play all year.
These are only three. To name all of the outstanding players would
mean listing the entire team.
Coach Jordan indicated after the game that he was very pleased
with the play of the second- and third-stringers. "They wouldn't
quit," he said. And he- was so right.
A Team Effort All The Way—
Every man on the team seemingly played his heart out for a
cause that was destined to fail. They gave their all and it just wasn't
enough. It couldn't hold the brilliant offense of the nation's best.
But wait again.
Discount the score (it's hard to do, I know) and look at the sta­tistics
for a moment. Auburn ran and passed for 17 first downs to
Bama's 20, piled up 141 yards rushing to 179 for the Tide, and put
the ball into play 64 times which almost equaled Bama's 68. These
facts cannot be overlooked and they shouldn't be.
They are a credit to a fine Auburn team. Not the best we've
seen in our tenure at the loveliest village, but nevertheless one we
should be proud of.
Seniors playing their final game for the ole alma mater were Bob­by
Hunt, Don Machen, Johnny McGeever, Bo Davis, Wayne Frazier,
Jimmy Putman, G. W. Clapp, Jerry Gulledge, Dave Woodward, Billy
Wilson, Dave Edwards, and Bobby Foret.
One final note before we leave our discussion of the Bama game:
Bo Davis, who has come into the game many a time this year to punt
Auburn out of a dangerous situation, did this and more Saturday.
His third quarter defensive play was nothing short of great. With
just over five minutes gone in the period, Davis had made seven
tackles, including the first four of the quarter. This was typical of his
play all afternoon.
Play of the Year—
My nomination for "play of the year": The"6lock of Darrell Cox's
field goal attempt by Johnny McGeever. You will remember that

TODAY AND TOMORROW
Tigers Lose Finale 34-0;
Worst Defeat Since 1951
By DAVID KNIGHT
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn finished its 1961 season
Saturday in Legion Field by los­ing
to Alabama, the nation's num­ber
one team. The 34-0 defeat at
the hands of the Crimson was
the worst defeat for an' Auburn
team since 1951, Ralph Jordan's
first year as head coach.
Alabama halfback Billy Rich­ardson
scored the first TD on an
11-yard run in the first quarter.
Pat Trammell sneaked over from
the one early in the second quar­ter
and passed to Richard Wil­liamson
from the 19 for another
score just before the end of the
first half. Richardson scored
again in the third period this time
taking a pitchout from Trammell
and going over from the 6. Tim
Davis kicked field goals in the
second and fourth stanza's and
converted all four Alabama
touchdowns and that was just
about the afternoon.
Auburn came close to scoring
twice in the final stages of the
game, but an incomplete fourth-down
pass and an Alabama in­terception
foiled the Tigers' at­tempts.
Alabama won the toss and
elected to kick with Don Machen
returning to the 22. Rawson got
four at left tackle and Bobby
Hunt went around left end for
10 yards and a first down at the
Auburn 36. On the next play
John McGeever was hit as he
took a handoff and fumbled, and
Darwin Holt covered it for Bama.
From the 36 Alabama scored in
6 plays, with Richardson's 6-yard
run capping the drive.
Machen returned the next kick-off
21 yards, to the 27. Rawson
gained one yard at guard before
McGeever took a pitchout from
Hunt and picked up a first down
at the 41. Hunt ran 12 on the
next play- to add another first
down at the Alabama 47. Mc­Geever
ran three and then took
a pass from Hunt for another first
down on the Alabama 36. Billy
Rice, Alabama tackle, threw Hunt
for an 8-yard loss on the next
play and Auburn had to punt. Bo
Davis got off a beautiful kick that
went out on the 5-yard line.
Alabama punted back after two
plays and Burson called for a fair
catch at the Alabama 40. Raw-son
picked up 2, 7 and 1 for a first
down at the 30. Burson ran 4
yards to the 26, but two Hunt
passes to Machen and Downs
were incomplete. Woody Woodall
attempted a field goal from the
34, but his kick was wide to the
right.
Alabama took over and scored
in 12 plays on a drive that cov­ered
80 yards. Fracchia led the
running with gains of 14, 14 and
12 yards.
Auburn came back to pick up
another first down after the en­suing
kickoff, but soon had to
punt. From the Auburn 49, Ala­bama
drove to Auburn's 27 be­fore
Davis kicked a field goal to
make the score 17-0.
Alabama. scored again just be­fore
the half on a pass from
Trammell to Williamson. The 42-
yard, drive took seven plays and
made the score 24-0 with only 7

seconds left in the half.
Alabama took the opening kick-off
of the second half and march­ed
67 yards in 11 plays. Richard­son
scored from the six and Davis
converted to make it 31-0. Davis
added' the final field goal with
8:42 remaining in the game to
end the day's scoring.
Machen returned the next kick-off
to the 33. On the first play
Hunt picked up 21 at the left end
then pitched out to Machen who
ran 24 more to the Alabama 22.
George Rose ran 7 on the second
play and Hunt ran 13 for a first
down at the 2-yard line. Rawson
gained one and Hunt went to the
one-foot line. Rawson was held
for no gain and on fourth down
Hunt's pass to Laster was incom­plete.
After an Alabama punt, Au­burn
took over again on the Ala­bama
35. Rawson ran 2; Hunt.ran
12, and Rose ran twice for 8 to
the Bama 12. An offside penalty
gave Auburn a first down at the'
7. Hunt's pass was intercepted
in the end zone to stop' AuDurrVs
final threat.

SEC Wrap-Up
By GORDON MURPHREE
The Southeastern Conference
ended a very successful 1961 sea­son
Saturday with three teams
listed in the top five football'
teams in the nation. These three
and another will represent the
conference in post-season bowls.
At this writing the final poll
has not been made official, but
its a good bet that Alabama will
be No. 1, LSU No. 3 and Ole Miss
No. 5.
The Alabama Crimson Tide,
after downing Auburn 34-0, ac­cepted
a bid to play Arkansas in
the Sugar Bowl. Ole Miss accept­ed
an invitation to play Texas in
the Cotton Bowl after blasting
Mississippi State 37-7. LSU which
has already finished its season
will meet Colorado in the Orange
Bowl and Georgia Tech will vie
with Penn State in the Gator
Bowl after Saturday's 22-7 win
over Georgia.
Alabama finished their first
unbeaten season in 16 years with
their win over Auburn. The
Tide scored in every quarter to
win from a bunch of scrapping,
determined Tigers who played
their hearts out and actually far­ed
much better than the score
indicated.
The Plainsmen rolled up 220
total yards offense and 17 first
downs against the top defensive
club in the nation. No other
team has done this much against
the Tide all year.
After the game Tiger quarter­back
Bobby Hunt was named out­standing
player for Auburn and
Pat Trammell for Alabama.
The Ole Miss Rebels closed out
another successful season by
crushing Mississippi State 37-7.
Quarterback Glynn Griffing and
Billy Ray Adams were the big
guns for the Rebels. Griffing
threw two touchdown passes of
12 and 58 yards. Adams scored
twice, blasting in from the one
and scampering 18 yards for an­other.
State's only score came in the
third quarter when Bulldog
quarterback Billy Hill engineer­ed
a 74 yard drive. Hill ended the
drive by bulling his way in from
nine yards out.
Georgia Tech relied on old
fashioned power to down upset
minded Georgia 22-7. The Bull­dogs,
winner of the last four

the early 10-0 lead taken by
Tech.
Georgia was held to a net of 39
yards against a pressing, hard-nose
Tech defense. Offensively,
Billy Williamson was the wheel-horse
for the Jackets. The 161-

nearly four times as much
as the entire Georgia team.

Tonight At 7:30
Southwest Louisiana invades
Auburn's fabled Sports Arena to­night
to take on the Tigers in
what should be an outstanding
hardcourt battle. The Tigers are
favored to win, but S.W. Louisi­ana
has one of the best teams in
small college circles.
The Tigers kicked off the sea­son
Monday night with a con­vincing
73-37 win over Jackson­ville
State in Auburn.
Coach Joel Eaves' charges roll­ed
on an air-tight defense that
kept the Jaxmen outside most of
the evening to take the victory.
The Tigers also managed to strike
with accuracy in a well-balanced
attack hitting on 58.4 per cent of
their shots from the floor.
Auburn jumped off to an early
lead after falling behind 2-0 at
the onset of the contest and work­ed
to a 36-15 halftime advan­tage.
The game was never in
doubt and Eaves substituted free­ly
throughout the night.
Center Layton Johns led the
scoring for the Plainsmen with
13 points while Larry Chapman
hit for 12 and Mack Kirkland
and John Blackwell chipped in
11 and 10 respectively.
The shuffling Tigers rarely
shot from outside during the
course of the game and domi­nated
the boards gathering in 40
rebounds to Jacksonville's 15.
John Helmlinger was the top re-bounder
for Auburn coming up
with 9 while Layton Johns took
in 7 and Mack Kirkland 5.
High-point man for the Jax­men,
who had a height disadvan­tage,
was guard Mitchell Cald­well
with 8 points.
Auburn, noted for its accuracy
from both the floor and the free
throw line came up with a 73.8
percentage on their charity toss­es.
Jax State connected on 41.8
per cent of the attempts at field
goals and 57.8 per cent of their
free throws.
Auburn played a deliberate ball
most of the game working loose
for easy shots on the shuffle. See­ing
a lot of .action behind the
starting team of Johns, Kirkland,
Chapman, Bill Ross and Billy
Tinker were Blackwell, Helm-

Go To Chattanooga Tournament Next
By JOE FULLER
There was a t least one bright
spot in Auburn Varsity Sports
during t h e past week end as t h e
Tiger wrestling team defeated
t h e Citadel by a score of 16-13.
This year's match was almost a
repeat of last year's as t h e meet
was not decided until t h e Tigers
won the heavyweight division.
Tommy Carr wrestled well for
t h e Tigers in t h e 123 pound d i ­vision
as he defeated his oppo­nent
by a score of f i v e , t o noth­ing.
Paul Looney lost a close d e ­cision
in the 130 pound division.
Tiger grappler Joe Smith was
also defeated in t h e 137 pound
division. Jeff Maurer maintain­ed
his u n b e a t e n record as h e won
t h e 147 pound division b y a score
of three to nothing. Injured H u ­bert
Kenedy was s o r e ly missed as
his replacement David York was
pinned in t h e 157 pound class. A u ­brey
Davis, captain of the Tig­er
wrestlers, r a n his s t r i n g of
consecutive victories to 11 as he
won t h e 167 pound division. "Kiv"
K i v i r a n n a won a hard fought
match in t h e 177 pound division
by a score of t h r e e to nothing.
The Tigers will wrestle again
Dec. 15 when they journey to
Chattanooga for t h e Chattanooga

of the tough teams that the Tiger
matmen will compete against.

BOBBY HUNT-PLAYER OF WEEK
AT END OF BRILLIANT CAREER
Again it was Bobby Hunt. •
This time in defeat, but still a masterful performance.
Not just offense either. Hunt deflected several passes from
the waiting arms of Alabama receivers in Saturday's contest.
It was a brilliant Bobby putting a close to a brilliant
career on the Plains moving the Tigers through the nation's
best defense on several long drives none of which, however,
culminated in a score.
Hunt was voted the most outstanding player for the Tig­ers
in an annual award given by the Junior Chamber of Com­merce.
He was the team's leading runner with 43 yards de­spite
being thrown for losses on pass plays and he connected
on 10 of 24 tosses for 79 yards.
This and all the trying that he had in him makes Bobby
Hunt our choice for Player of The Week and Player of the
Year.

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
America is a great country. America's cities are full of houses."
America's forests are full of trees. America's rivers are full of
water. But i t is not houses and trees and water that make
America great; it is curiosity—the constant quest to find
answers-trie endless, restless "Why?" "Why?" "Why?".
Therefore, when I was told that Marlboro was a top seller
a t colleges from USC to Yale, I was not content merely to
accept this gratifying fact, I had to find out why.
I hied myself to campuses in every sector of this mighty land.
First, I went to the I vy League—dressed, of course, in an
appropriate costume: a skull-and-bones in one hand, a triangle
in the other, a mask-and-wig on my head, a hasty pudding in
my chops. "Sir," I cried, seizing an I vy Leaguer by t he lapels,
which is no mean task considering the narrowness of I v y League
lapels, but, I, fortunately, happen to have little tiny hands; in
fact, I spent the last war working in a small arms plant where, I
am proud to say, I was awarded a Navy " E " for excellence and
won many friends—"Sir," I cried, seizing an Ivy Leaguer by the
lapels, "how come Marlboro is your favorite filter cigarette?"

" I 'm glad you asked that question, Shorty," he replied.
"Marlboro is my favorite filter cigarette because it is t he filter
cigarette with the unfiltcrcd taste."
"Oh, thank you, sir!" I cried and ran posthaste to several
campuses in the Big Ten, .wearing, of course, the appropriate
costume: a plaid Mackinaw, birling boots, a Kodiak bear and
frost-bitten ears.
Spying an apple-cheeked young coed, I tugged my forelock
and said, "Excuse me, miss, but how come Marlboro is your
favorite filter cigarette?"
" I 'm glad you asked that question, Shorty," she replied.
"Marlboro is my favorite filter cigarette because the flavor is
flavorful, the flip-top box flips and the soft-pack is soft:"
"Oh, thank you, apple-checked young coed," I cried and
bobbed a curtsey and sped as fast as my little fat legs' would
carry me to several campuses in the Southwest, wearihg, of
course, the appropriate costume: chaps, canteen, and several oil
leases. Spying a group of undergraduates singing "Strawberry
Roan," I removed my hat and said, "Excuse me, friends, b u t
why is Marlboro, your favorite filter cigarette?"
"We are glad you asked that question, Shorty," they replied.
"Marlboro is our favorite filter cigarette because we, native sons
and daughters of the wide open spaces, want a cigarette that is
frank and forthright and honest. We want, in short, Marlboro."
"Oh, thank you, all," I cried and, donning a muu muu, I set
pail for Hawaii, because in Hawaii, as in every state where Old
Glory flies, Marlboro is the leading seller hi flip-top box. On
campus, off campus, in all fifty states, wherever people smoke for
pleasure in this great land of ours, you will find Marlboro.

mildness. Have a Commander. Welcome aboard.
