Jurisprudence Interpretation
Decides Ag School Question
Driver Would Appoint President
With Two-Thirds Senate Majority
By NOEL LEON
The Jurisprudence Committee Wednesday afternoon gave
the student body president the go-ahead to appoint a new-president
for the School of Agriculture.
According to the committee, since both candidates seeking
election in that school were disqualified, there "exists a va­cancy,"
and it is the duty of the
student body president to make
the appointment.
The committee, whose duty is
to interpret the school's consti­tution,
met to determine what
method to use in selecting the
student head of the Agricultural
School.
Nominees for the presidency of
that school were disqualified "be­cause
they were not classified as
seniors in their dean's office," ac­cording
to political affairs super­intendent
Jimbo Rogers.
Both candidates were disquali­fied
after campaigning began and
neither party had an opportun­ity
to offer another candidate.
The committee, determining
under the constitution that since
the candidates were disqualified,
and that there is a vacancy, stated
that, according to Article VIII,
Sect. 3, "the president of the stu­dent
body will make the appoint­ment,
with the approval of two-thirds
the membership of the Stu­dent
Senate."
* * *
THE QUESTION was raised
whether there should be another
election held by the members of
the School of Agriculture to elect
a candidate for the post. How­ever,
the action was voted down
by the committee because of an­other
clause in the constitution,
stating that "the election of all
school officers . . . shall be held
on the last Thursday in October."
Holding another election would
violate that clause.
The committee said that both
parties offering nominees knew
the regulations concerning quali­fications
of the candidates and
that they should not have entered
candidates not meeting the quali­fications.
. .
However, it was noted that
there should be a longer period
of time allowed for the parties to
submit an alternate candidate if
their first is disqualified.
Rogers, commenting on the not­able
discrepancy in the present
system, said he would investigate
the issue further and make the
necessary amendments to the
rules governing qualifications.
Another clause in the constitu­tion
which seemed to contradict
the decision to let the student
body president make the appoint­ment,
was Sect. 2 of Article VIII,
stating that "each undergraduate
school shall elect their officers in
the fall quarter elections."
The committee pointed out,
however, that the candidates were
entered even though they did not
qualify, and, since the day set for
the election has passed, the office
had to be considered as an "exist­ing
vacancy."
The Jurisprudence Committee
consisted of associate justices Jim
Phillips, Plainsman editor; Vir­ginia
Gentry, prominent indep­endent;
Molly Sarver, president
of the Kappa Delta sorority; Lin
Monroe, president of the Inter-fraternity
Council; Bobby Mc-
Cord, vice president of ODK, and
Jim Kilpatric, Glomerata busi­ness
manager.
• Chief justice for the group is
A. B. Metzger, professor of His­tory
and Government.
The meeting was the first held
by t h e committee in recent
months.
Torches Tonight—
'Dog' Destruction
By ANDREA POLLARD
The traditional rivalry between
Auburn and. the University of
Georgia will be officially set afire
tonight at the annual "Burn the
Bulldog" pep rally.
Festivities will begin at 1:00
when bulldogs built and submit­ted
by each sorority will be judg­ed
as to originality, contsruction
and theme: Each year a trophy is
submitted to the sorority with the
best bulldog and last year Zeta
Tau Alpha was the winner.
A tourchlight parade will begin
tonight at 7:00 and advance from
Ross Square to Biggio. This year
the specifications on the torches
have been set for the length not
to exceed three feet and the can
size not to be over a number two
size.
Scabbard and' Blade will assist
in this year's ceremonies by ad­vancing
the interest of safety and
aiding in the actual burning of the
bulldog. President of the Student
Body, Gene Driver, will speak at
the ceremony.
This year promises one of the
best "Burn the Bulldog" rallies in
many years, according to Tommy
C r a w f o r d , Superintendent of
Spirit.
ASSURING THAT Auburn's student government will be operated in full letter of the law,
the Jurisprudence Committee met Wednesday and interpreted the Agricultural School presidential
vacancy constitutionally as an instance in which SGA Proxy Gene Driver should make the appoint­ment
with two-thirds approval of the Student Senate. Members of the committee from left front
are Lin Monroe, Molly Sarver, and Presiding Justice A. B. Metzger. In rear are Jim Kilpatric, Bob­by
McCord, and Jim Phillips.

Committee.
She will play compositions by
Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel a nd

She began piano instruction at
the age of five under the direc­tion
of her mother, Mrs. Roy R.
Cox of Montgomery. When she
was nine her formal instruction
began under Monsieur Robert
Casadesus. She spent four sea­sons
at his school in Great Bar-rington,
Mass., and four seasons at
Ecoles D'Art Americaines de

Miss Cox's concert career began
when at the age of 10 she made
her first public appearance at
Newcomb College in New Or­leans
on the same program with
her mother. Her first solo concert
was given when she was 12 and at
14 she rendered a memorable pro­gram

of the Montgomery Music Club.
Since then she has been present­ed
in numerous concerts in this
country and in France and Swit­zerland.
Miss Cox plays with skill and
feeling, and with tremendous
technical accomplishment.
Miss Cox says of herself, "I do
not want to be considered a spe­cialist.
I do not think an artist
who intends to grow should con­fine
herself to one style." She is
fascinated with producing variet­ies
of sounds or in the musician's

FOR CHARITY
RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS WEEK
CONCLUDED WITH SEMINAR
Religious Emphasis Week at
^.uburn was ended Tuesday with
a seminar on "How a Communist
World Should Affect Youth." This
was the last in a series of talks
on the general theme of REW,
"Christianity and Communism."
Speaker at the last seminar was
Dr. James D. Bales, professor of
Bible at Harding College in Sear­cy,
Ark. Also on the program was
Dr. Howard D. Olive, visiting pro­fessor
in religion at Howard Col­lege
and missionary in the Philip­pines.
Both Dr. Bales and Dr. Olive
gave several talks Monday and
Tuesday on various subjects con­cerning
Christianity a n d Com­munism.
In his talk on "How a Com­munist
World Should Affect
Youth," Dr. Bales emphasized the
complete change in the American
way of life which would occur if
Communists were to take over in
this country. He stated t h a t a
large section of American youth
feels like it would mean only a
litle more change than is exper­ienced
in going from one of the
present U.S. political parties to
another.
Dr. Bales brought out the like­lihood
of a purge if Communism
gains control, as well as a com­plete
change in everything from
religion to rock and roll music.
After the talk, Dr. Bales and
Dr. Olive answered questions
from the 'floor! In reply to a ques­tion,
Dr. Olive stated that Com­munist
infiltration in the Philip­pines
is not too serious at present.
Dr. Bales discussed Communist
infiltration in American churches,
and gave some reasons why it has
come about.

Upcoming Fall Highlight—Gardner
This week you are looking at a scene that might tend to mis
lead you. At first glance it appears to be an ordinary window no
different f r o m hundreds all over Auburn. Yet this window has
a special significance. It is not famous because of its structure nor
its design. In fact, the window is special because it is situated
so that a watchful eye may prevail over the most important area

Loveliest Village
'Brother' Dave's
BY JOHN WALLACE
Assistant Editor
When "Brother" Dave Gardner
makes the scene at Auburn on
November 18, Auburn students
will have their first chance to see
the newest of the "angry young
humorist" school of nightclub en­tertainers.
"Brother" Dave has
said, "I believe in everything—
that don't leave no room for argu­ment."
Believing in everything
also allows Gardner to criticize
everything—which he does freely,
but the criticism is so funny that
Dave's satirical social commen­tary
has put his t\Vo RCA Victor
albums, "Rejoice D e a r Hearts"
and "Kick Thy Own Self," well
up on the charts.
Dave's w a y - d o w n - s o u t h - on-the-
farm accent inevitably has
brought him comparison to Will
Rogers, but his peculiar brand of
humor is all his own. In spite of
his numerous disclaimers about
his own background, both social
("The first piece of light bread I
ever seen fell offen the back of a
CCC truck,") and literary (I ain't
goin ter let none of them smart-aleck
intellectuals mess up my
speech,) Gardner is an extremely
literate young man. His comedy
routines draw heavily on such
disparate sources as Hindu philo­sophy,
the writings of Harvard
theologian Paul Tillich and the
speech patterns of jazz musicians,
beatniks, Butterfly McQueen, and
the late Jeeter Lester. In addition
to this base of encyclopedia rap­port
with the youthful world to­ward
which his material is aimed,
Gardner has a writer's ability to
sketch vivid word portraits with
a minimum of verbiage—as in his
parable about a day-dreaming
construction foreman; "This old
cat's standin' up there with one
foot on a power shovel, cigarette
hangin' outer one side of his
mouth an' toothpick outer the
other, s a y s 'Someday I'm gon'
own this construction comp'ny'!"
GARDNER SWINGS through
the South have led some papers
to comment, "Brother Gardner,
stout defender of the South and
with accent to match, is a caution.
About as big as a short minute,
he uses words that weigh more
than he does, jumps from sub­ject
to subject, ranging from Rus­sia
to the moon, with stopovers
Blessed With
Southern Humor
while he does s u c h things as
"looks for nothin'" or takes a sly
dig at his native South."
Tickets for the Gardner show,
which will enable student gain ad­mittance
to the hour-long "Broth­er"
Dave concert and the ODK-Glom
Beauty Ball, are on sale for
$1.50. They may be purchased
from ODK members at the Glom
office and at Herbert's Music
Store. Admission will be $2 at the
door.

WOMEN TAKE
OVER AUBURN
HALL IN FALL
BY JOHN WALLACE
Assistant Editor
Auburn Hall will go back to the
girls next fall quarter, it was an­nounced
recently by school offi­cials.
Presently a male dorm, the
Thach Ave. residence w i l l be
switched to accommodate 68 wo­men
students to meet the critical
need for women's housing.
Dr. Floyd Vallery, Executive
Vice-President of the University,
said that the change was being
made f o r several reasons. He
l&ted that "For some time there
has been a need for greater ac­commodations
for the women stu­dents
and lately this need has
reached the critical stage. Appli­cations
for women's housing for
next fall quarter were received
by the University beginning Oc­tober
1. By the first of November
some 400 applications over the
maximum capacity had come into
the school, and this was with
over-crowding the present facili­ties."
Dr. Vallery also noted that the
Gray, Freshman and Graduate
Houses are slated to be torn down
early in the year to make room
for the new library, thus making
the housing problem more acute.
"Records show that only about
one-fourth to one-third of t he
men presently residing in Auburn
Hall would be in the dorm next
year and since there are at pre­sent
sufficient accommodations
for the men students," Vallery
continued, "we decided that this
housing could best serve the
school as a women's dormitory."
The dorm has been a male dorm
since 1954 when the latest of the
women's dormitories were com­pleted
on campus.
Auburn Spirit. Each Monday af­ternoon
they eagerly make plans
for that week's spirit campaign.
First they choose a slogan to be
used throughout the week in
cheers and on posters publicizing
the pep rally. The next day mem­bers
of the committee make the
posters and put them in notice­able
places around the campus.
Suggestions for speakers at the
pep rally are then made and a
place and time for the pep rally
are decided upon.
If the game is to be in Auburn,
a committee is appointed to de­corate
the stadium. This diligent
group appears at the stadium at
eight o'clock Saturday morning
ready to do an entire morning's
work. On Wednesday afternoon
the special painters group takes
over the town, writing spirited
challenges on the mechants' win­dows.
* * *
THE SPIRIT Committee is also
responsible for pep parades. The
"Wreck Tech" Pajama Parade,
which took place under the su­pervision
of Jimmy Potter, was a
great success. All freshman boys
marched through the streets in
their most colorful pajamas. The
fraternity pledges built and car­ried
colorful floats for the occa­sion,
while the freshman coeds
carried banners and wore rat
caps. The parade ended at Cliff
Hare Stadium, where the cheer­leaders
led a pep rally. The tro­phy
for the best float went to the
Tau Kappa Epsilon pledges.
On Thursday night before the
Auburn-Georgia game, the "Burn
the Bulldog" parade and pep rally
took place. Each sorority pledge
class built a large bulldog, whose
appearance foretold the fate of the
Georgians come Saturday. A tro­phy
was awarded to the sorority
with the most clever and original
bulldog. A parade in Birmingham
is being planned for the Auburn-
Alabama game.
Tommy Crawford serves in the
capacity of Superintendent of
Spirit. Vicki Givan is secretary
to the committee, which is com­posed
of representatives from
each fraternity and sorority.
"PAINTING THE TOWN" is only a weekly event for the
ever-busy Spirit Committee. The widest variety of. art work is
seen up and down College Street as a result of their "artistic"
endeavors. Here, four partisan co-eds are making a weekly pre­diction
on a local store window, and this particular one, like most
of the committee's recent prophesies, held true to the test.
ON CAMPUS
DISCUSSIONS KEYNOTE OF
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
This week, Auburn's School of
Education has been involved in
American Education Week, No­vember
6 through 12. The objec­tive
of the week is to interpret
education programs and innova­tions
to the public. American
Education week is also meant to
serve as impetus for year-round
concern for the importance of
education. The Week is sponsored
by the National Education Asso­ciation,
the American Legion, the
United States Office of Educa­tion,
and the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers.
The aim of American Educa­tion
Week of 1960 is to promote
the cause of education in the light
of national requirements in the
coming age. "Strengthen Schools
for the Sixties" is the overall
theme this year. With this theme
in mind, a topic has been assign­ed
for each day of the Week.

'Critique'-Literary Magazine
Termed Refreshing, Exciting
BY TOBY SAVAGE
A REFRESHING and exciting ad­venture
has been dared that
has possibilities of opening up a
brand new store of creative
thought. A small aggregation of
laboring students have made
available the means to this end;
the maintenance of this endeavor
lies in the lap of the rest of the
university. This experiment, the
publication of a campus literary
magazine, has been undertaken
within a somewhat unconducive
atmosphere. In order for the pur­poses
of this magazine to be car­ried
out it must have the nurture
of universal campus enthusiasm.
Students of physical science, soc­ial
science, engineering, art, etc.,
have equal opportunity and re­sponsibility
for the support of this
publication.
Rumor has had it that this
magazine was originated from
questionable motivations, but the
founding of such conjective state­ments
would require extensive
psychotherapy which I doubt has
been carried out. The qualms cre­ated
by these malicious rumors
are neither here nor there when
there is an opportunity for a con­structive
intellectual and cultural
service to the community.
This anxious student is glad­dened
by the appearance of The
Auburn Critique, satisfied with its
contents, but concerned about its
final reception.
One should be actively grati­fied
that there are students at
Auburn who are gripped with the
intensity of such a scholarly ex­perience
as a literary opinion
magazine affords. The faculty and
administration should be fright­ened
by the responsibility of be­ing
exemplars for students who
are compelled by introspective
motivation to become involved in
any particular academic discus­sion.
This sense of responsibility
should be the incentive to accept
the challenge with a convincing
dedication to academic integrity.

THE CONTENT of the maga­zine
is a manifestation of the fact
that students are not only con­cerned
with the arts and letters,
but they are involved in the acti­vities
of the environment in
which they are situated. Escapism

in the world today. Attempts

Mr. Towery expresses discour­agement
with the American peo­ple
as they accept the unrealistic

THIS IS an exceptional begin­ning,
but only that. To feel the
full impact of these words of Dr.
Nathan M. Pusey, President of
Harvard University, is to realize
just where we stand: ". . . they

. . . not simply . . . to identify
words and negotiate sentences . . .
but truly to read . . . to interro­gate
significant texts, to tear them
apart with the mind, understand
them, read their thoughts, enter
into them, and in the process pos­sess
them—this is something else,
and more difficult. Perhaps it is
not too much to say that true
learning can only begin—and so
a college only begin to be good—
when students are at hand who
do this, and do it not simply by
compulsion but by the incentive
of self-impulse, with discrimina­tion,
and with joy." This state­ment
is valid and relevant, and
could be acquired as a directive
for the university as it considers
this magazine. Students, I implore
—read, reflect, and respond!

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

Change of Pace ...
YOU were there. The night before, your
windshield, bearing an Auburn decal,
had been neatly bludgeoned from top to
bottom, edge to edge. High above you
and the booming football stadium flew the
banner from atop a prominent dorm, "Go
to Hell, Auburn!" As your team broke
huddle on t h e brown turf below, you star­ed
in amazement at the opponent's cheer­leaders.
The dynamic crescendo of "Go to
Hell War Damn Eagle, Go to Hell!" was
an organized one, and far more flagrant
t h a n even the worse sportsmanship you
had witnessed at Auburn. Even t h e snap­py
beat of that bandsman's d r um in sup­port
of the "Go to Hell" cheer was t h r e a t ­ening,
hostile.
You w e r e at Athens and it was Auburn-
Georgia day, 1959.
P e r h a p s we are superfluous in point­ing
out the benefit that can so easily, pain­lessly
be Auburn's should our week-end
visitors find us in a more congenial mood
t h a n they were in home t e r r i t o r y a year
ago. Their crude actions are on t h e per­manent
record, ours yet unmade.
Undoubtedly, a "change of pace" is t he
logical pitch for this crucial situation.
Intelligent Precautions
WITH spirited Georgia fandom on campus
tonight, it would be every bit plausible
t h a t the gala "Burn the Bulldog" pep r a l ly
could develop into a rip-roaring holocaust
had more stringent safety precautions been
ignored. Suppose a b a n d of Bulldog hope­fuls
were to impulsively dart out after
one of the easily flammable bulldogs just
as the sorority pledge group who con­s
t r u c t e d it was approaching the snapping
flames. Nasty thought?
In view of the Georgia-Auburn game
scheduled here, the Bulldog burning to­night
r a t h e r t h a n Thursday as in previous
years, and the inevitability of frolicking
visitors' presence at A u b u r n while t h e fire
reigns king, safety precautions regarding
use of fire became mandatory.
A mature Student Safety Committee,
directed by Stan Sikes, took t h e initiative
and soon forwarded sound n ew anti-hazard
ideas. Some of t h em . . . In route to Big-gio,
torches will be checked for length.
Maximum is t h r e e feet. Flame container
now can be no larger than a beer can.
Alongside the torch-laden procession head­ing
for traditional Biggio will b e neophytes
of Scabbard and Blade, bearing emergency
sand and blankets.
Foremost in importance, as we see it,
t h e crowd will not be allowed to move
closer to the fire than is marked by an
outer circle. Bulldogs will be placed
around the inner, and to eliminate t h e pos­sible
problem of coed hysteria in face of
untimely male antics, Scabbard and Blade
alone this year will hurl the paper bull­dogs
to their fiery finish.
As yet we spot no flaws in the new
plan. The Safety Committee is v e r y likely
shying Auburn away from a regretful sit­uation.
Why ... This Rule?
I F WE are to profess journalistic integrity,
t h e time has come that we find our­selves
facing no alternative from question­i
n g some of Auburn University's rules,
regulations, and administrative procedures,
many of which have long gone unquestion­ed.
Here we will discuss a regulation con­cerned
with the dropping of academic
courses. At mid-page 68 of the current
University catalog, appears the following,
"A grade of failure will be recorded in the
R e g i s t r a r ' s office for a subject dropped on
request of the student after the second
week of t h e q u a r t e r . Exceptions are made
only as authorized by t h e dean."
Under auspices of this regulation, no
student in process of failing a course can
effectively avoid the failure he deserves.
This is, of course, just and logical. But a
regulation to the effect of "Any student
dropping a course on his request anytime
d u r i n g the quarter and not passing it at >
t h e time will receive a failing grade,"
would serve that end every bit as well.
For all of Auburn it would be fair. Be­cause
of further aspects, the present sta­t
u t e is far from just. We will i l l u s t r a te
why it is unsuitable, unfair, and bordering
on the ridiculous in the whole of what it
encompasses.
Under the standing regulation, consid­er
the student who r e g i s t e r s for what later
in the q u a r t e r turns out to be more hours
t h a n h e can h a n d l e w i t h effect. He is pass­ing
all of t h em but fears the worst in all
unless his problem can be alleviated by
lessening t h e heavy load. Why then, if he
•be passing the course he intends to drop,
must he receive an automatic " F " i n that
course, r a t h e r than a drop without pen­a
l t y?
Deans and assistant deans can not be
criticized for their stands of "This is the
l aw . . . I've got to go along w i t h it, no
m a t t e r what it says." But we do think
those who administer such regulations
should be capable of offering cogent ex­planations
for the rule's being.
Considering all, we can only view this
present statute as abominable. Although
our quest for revision is most probably
futile in face of overwhelming power, we
can see no reason why the regulation is
not revised w i t h design to catch only those
who, failing courses, would t r y " g e t t i n g off
t h e hook" w i t h a non-penalized drop. To
s t u d e n t s holding passing marks in courses
t h e y have reason to drop after two weeks,
t h e present cut-off period, grave and need­less
injustice is being done!
Are They Serious?
NOW THAT all t h e politicking is over and
Senator Kennedy has emerged victor­ious,
we can not help wondering if he and
his p a r t y are really serious about t h e role
t h e y depict for government in t h e private
spending of U.S. consumers.
The Democrats m a i n t a i n that too much
of the nation's output is going into "non­essential"
goods and services. To curb this
" e x t r a v a g a n c e " they propose higher taxes
and more careful and strict control of the
economy by governent, thus a "govern­ment-
oriented" economy.
A long depression and a long war de­prived
America of many of the things
wanted and needed here. Much of the
post-war prosperity was based on this
p e n t - u p demand. Today those deferred
demands have largely been met and our
c u r r e n t prosperity and buying habits s t em
from other sources. Included in this ana­lysis
are 1) a greatly expanded popula­t
i on which means more potential custo­mers
for t h e goods American i n d u s t r y pro­duces,
and 2) a rising level of " r e a l " in­come
which allows people to buy things
t h e y always wanted but could never af­ford
before.
For some reason, this normal urge to
b e t t e r oneself, to want to live i n a n a t t r a c ­t
i v e house, dress well, eat out once in a
while, own an automobile, send t h e chil­d
r e n to college—all this is in effect labled
as something practically sinful. This
money, say the critics of today's Ameri­can
economy and formulators, we would
suppose of the future economic system,
should go to "sadly deficient" public resour­ces—
replacement of sub-standard housing,
arms, health needs. Americans, they in­sist,
can get by with fewer personal pos­sessions—
they are living "too high on the
hog."
What these critics seem to forget is t h at
t h e average American family income is
$6,000 a year, not $60,000 or upwards. Most
Americans live simply and economically;
most purchases they make are carefully
thought out and budgeted.
It is only because of our freedom to buy
or not to buy. to choose one product over
another, that our economic system has
grown strong, healthy, and abundantly
productive. Attempts to restrict this free­dom,
as our conomic censors propose, can
do great harm.
And America today can not afford such
fiasco.

'Free Thinkers' Have Definite Responsibility
In 'Looking Thoroughly Before They Leap!'
Often one in defense of liberal
thoughts neglects the fact that it
can be detrimental to free think­ing
to profess his ideas without
meditation or due consideration.
A society is developed to aid in
the advancement of people, yet it
can not accomplish its purpose
when a select few misuse it by
ridiculing their own. Expression is
one of the basic methods of edu-catio
nbut it can also be a decid­ing
factor in development of ig­norance.
An age old fable says, "It is the
pot calling t h e kettle black."
When such a situation arises no
gain is realized for the two ideas
have in a sense nullified one an­other.
To present facts or ideas
that have resulted from careful
analyzation of the facts will often
enlighten the people. Although it
seems to be the custom to present
an argument only as a point of
contradiction, nevertheless it is
not the way to successfully in­form
the masses. Neither side has
won when they h a v e achieved
only a backbiting. Neither cause
has advanced when the result is
only a negative attitude Why do
we continually put up with some
of t h e hastily written farces?
When will the free thinkers, the
radicals, t h e 'exuberant spirit'
people decide to be constructive
in their attitude if not their ideas.
For a true increase in well-being,
whether it be here on the Auburn
campus or anywhere in the world,
the people must act with an un­selfish
interest and a pure motive.

Mr. Harris' description of the

own article: "sounding off vehe­mently
in their narrow irrational
concepts." I fail to see where Mr.
Harris' own article is "meaningful
criticism, coldly, logically thought
out, always supported by fact, and
tactfully presented." As a matter
of fact, I believe Mr. Byrd's col­umn
represented Mr. Harris'
ideals more than Mr. Harris him­self
does!

State Cheerleader
Appreciates Welcome
Dear Editor:
I would like to extend my heart­iest
congratulations to Auburn on
your successful Homecoming Day
last Saturday. Also I would like to
express the thanks of everyone
who came to the game from Mis­sissippi
State University - for the
wonderful welcome which we re­ceived
while on your campus.
What we lost on the gridiron was
regained through t h e sincere
friendliness and hospitality of
those who made our stay so en­joyable.
Auburn has something
unique in the friendliness and
sense of pride which exists there
and I sincerely hope that you nev­er
lose it.
I hope that Auburn students
visiting Mississippi State will be
as warmly received as we were
while on your campus last week­end.
Cordially yours,
Sandy Stevens,

Bliss' Threats Of Suit
Fail To Scare Lanier
Dear Editor:
This letter is written in answer
to a recent threat of suit by an
instrutcor of Auburn's Sociology
Department. Concerning my earl­ier
letter of October 7, on which
the threat of a law suit has been
based, I would like to state that
I did not refer to the instructor
of sociology as a communist or a
subversive, as some of his advo­cates
would like to believe. He in
my opinion is a materialist, and
is adding greatly to the spread
of communistic theology in the
classroom.
In order to clarify myself, let's
start at the base. What is com­munism?
Communism m e a ns
more than a physical organiza­tion.
It means'more than an eco­nomic
system and more than a
cultural pattern, which we are
taught. Communism is a system of
thought and action originated by
Marx and Engels, developed by
Lenin, and continued by Stalin
and Khrushchev. This system em­bodies
among other things:
1) A materialistic explanation
of man and the universe.
2) A materialistic interpreta­tion
of history, centering about
a class struggle.
3) Abolition of the non-com­munist
state.
4) A code of morals based not
on morals but on utility—the end
justifies the means.
5) The abolition of all religions.
6) A world-wide communist
internal revolution leading to a
world-wide communist society.
What is the end result of this
system? It is the reduction of man
from a spiritual creature to the
level of a "high grade" animal
whose sole reason for being is to
die!
Communism is a total philoso­phy
which enslaves the human
being f r o m the cradle to the
grave. And what is that philoso­phy?
To educators it is known
as "dialectical materialism."
Note: While all communists
are materialists, not all material­ists
are communists. Scores of in­dividuals
and so-called educators
who have never been members of
the communist organization con­tribute
to the spread of the philo­sophy
of materialism. In doing so,
they are adding generously to
the strength of the communist
movement. Among these philoso­phic
materialists are numerous
educators, authors, and lecturers.
These materialists deny the exis­tence
of God. They deny the exis­tence
of the soul, of immortality,
and of values derived from un­changing
moral principles. Real­ity,
the materialists maintain,
consists only of matter. These
people, as stated, are not com­munists,
yet they might as well
be, for they are preparing mental
soil (namely students) for the
seeds of communism.
Atheism—militant on the part
of the communist—is the common
denominator of all materialists.
Lenin spoke for all communists,
materialists, and non-communists
alike when he said, "Our propa­ganda
necessarily includes t he
propaganda of atheism."
J. Edgar Hoover's words con-
• cerning the aspect of atheism are,
". . . to be a communist one must
subscribe wholly to the atheistic
philosophy of Maxism-Leninism
which allows no deviation."
Have lawyer, will travel.
George Lanier

For a month, we have attempt­ed
to derive some pertinent com­ment
from Professor Russel iL.
Bliss, instructor of Sociology 311,
the course in question. We only
want an objective analysis of
what is going on, but are still un­able
to procure one, because of
Bliss' complete refusal to talk.
ED.
INCREASINGLY, it is difficult to
explain with reason the exis­tence
of high-pressure football on
the college campus. But it is here,
and here in a very big way. And
it is sad commentary on students'
attitudes and values that we are
able to accept it without question
or to distort our thinking in order
to justify its connection with edu­cation.
Most of us will dare to agree,
I think, that football's contribu­tion
to the academic community
is unclear and superficial. It is
clear that it contributes in a
material way—it brings in money
—but this kind of quantitative
role has precious little to do with
the academic community. What it
really has to do with the positive
quality of education is quite un­clear.
If we accept the notion that
the university is first and fore­most
a place for intellectual en­deavor—
that we come here to
pursue ideas—then it follows that
football, with its counterparts and
adjunctive campus items, ought
to occupy a secondary place if it
cannot figure esentially in the
educational process. The fact is,
it seems obvious, that the game—
as we know it—is unessential, but
that it boasts a very curious
prominence on the campus. The
fact is that this incongruity is ac­ceptable
to us.
WHY INCONGRUENT . . .
College football is now big time
football, sponsored and perpet­uated
chiefly by hyper-loyal
alumni who have allowed their
allegiences to go astray and who
have seen fit to evaluate the uni­versity
in terms of the number of
victories its team can serve up.
Big time football is only slightly
concerned with those traits which
higher learning attempts to foster,
e.g., disciplined intelligence, char­acter
development, value discrim­ination,
intellectual curiosity, ex­ploration
of ideas, independence
of judgment. It has no intentional
connection, and is often at var­iance,
with these goals of higher
learning. Big time football is
teaching the lessons and tactics
of how to win at all costs, and
this, it seems, is really a,kind of
lower learning. , _ ••. .
College football ;is" he iShger a
sport for amateurs. It is no longer
played for enrichment or enjoy­ment.
It operates under the pro­fessional
practices of promoting,
recruiting, and paying. Likewise,
it has adopted the primary ob­jective
of winning, and lost in
this narrow objective is the only
sound justification for football's
alliance w i t h education — the
growth and development of its
participants.
Specialization in single, parti­cular
gridiron skills has mini­mized
t h e possibilities of such
growth a n d development. The
players are usually positioned so
as to best facilitate winning. Their
needs as individuals are readily
sacrificed for the all-important
victory. The free substitution rule,
so popular with coaches and fre­quently
defended on the grounds
that it makes for a livelier game,
fosters specialization. It provides
a maximum of control from the
bench, and decreases the oppor­tunities
for decision-making on
the part of the players. It takes
a great deal of the responsibility
out of the hands and minds of the
players, and allows a boy to be
sent in for a single specialized job
and promptly removed when he
has completed it. While this sort
of directing and producing may
result in more wins and more en­tertaining
football for the specta­tors,
it is at opposite end of the
value scale with education.
This manipulating from the
bench is understandable, how­ever.
The coach is, after all, hired
on the basis of his record of vic­tories
or on his potential for pro­ducing
them. He is expected to
win, whatever the cost. And it is
commonly felt that a losing team
reflects the quality of its coaching
and is not pleasing to the alumni.
ONLY FOR PROS . . .
The place for high-pressure
football, then, is the professional
level. It certainly does not belong
on the college campus. It manages
to dominate the fall quarter, ex­pending
the enthusiasms which
belong in the channels of aca­demic
endeavor. Auburn's main
library now closes at one p.m. on
the Saturdays of home games and
does not open again until Sunday
afternoon. This, I think, is indi­cative
of the prevalent improper
emphasis and priority.
The kind of football that now
exists here does not contribute,
but rather takes from, the intel­lectual
life of the campus. It is
restricted to the few, and those
exploited few are used primarily
to better the coaches' records and
the institution's reputation. It is
focusing attention on and award­ing
prestige to the wrong campus
endeavors. It usurps the excite­ment
rightfully owed to the class­room.
It encourages off-campus
and non-academic weekends. It
n u r t u r e s the win-at-all-costs
philosophy.
In the light of these arguments,
I feel that the stand for high-pressure
college football is inde­fensible.
The game is now at cross
purposes with the aims of higher
learning and should be de-empha­sized
or completely removed from
the university campus.
DEATH TO ALL . . .
Handwriting On Wall Has Always Been Conversation;
New Prophets Predict New Type Of Doom For World
BY JOHN WALLACE
THE PROPHETS of doom have
been at it again of late, but
this time with a new slant. The
ages have had no lack of indi­viduals
or groups who would, from
time to time, predict the world's,
end. Impending disaster has al­ways
made excellent conversa-tional
material and the more dev­astating
the threat, the greater the
excitement.
Doom forecasting was at first
confined primarily to bearded men
who limited themselves to warn­ing
a few towns or a wayward na­tion,
seldom if ever, going so far
as to see the entire world remov­ed
from the heavens. The Bible
records many of these prophets,
warnings and also gives the most
classic prophesy ever—the hand­writing
on the wall.
After the biblical period, pre­dicting
passed from the hands of
the religious and fell to the lot of
the military. Ruin no longer was
restricted to a single sector or vil­lage
or nation which had incurred
the wrath of God. Annihilation
said the prognosticators of the
Middle Ages would cover the
Earth. Another difference was the
manner in which this doom was
to come. The biblicals predicted
destruction by water, brimstone
and fire or generally by a force
of nature. The destruction then
became, not a threat of God's na­ture,
but "the ultimate weapon,"
a creation of mortal man. Howev­er,
almost every century had its
own ultimate weapon. It was gun­powder,
the long bow, the rifle,
artillery, and so on through the
years.
ULTIMATE WEAPONS
In our own century the noose
around the neck of mankind be­came
naval behemoths, the air­plane,
V-2's and the atomic and
hydrogen bomb. Great scientific
achievements enabled man to kill
man more effectively. Our century
has had its share of the prophets,
but they at first had only to do
with the military devices. T he
seers for the past few decades are
indistinguishable from those of
the middle ages. They get more
publicity however, which, perhaps
created more seers.
Every now and then some half­wit
will announce a new date for
the world's end or tell of the
Earth's destruction by the "ulti­mate
weapon." They are ignored.
Some go to extremes, such as the
mass movement to the under­ground
by the Arizona sect re­cently.
They are laughed at.
Now a new prophet has arisen.
He is a scientist or more like a
sociologist. He forsees the death
of mankind, but not by a bomb, or
a rocket, or an "ultimate weapon."
He sees the death of. civilization
through hunger. The threat is the
population explosion and before
long so many humans shall crowd
the Earth that the land can no
longer support them. One says we
shall be squeezed to death. The
laughter is not so long nor half
so long. The scoffers are fewer.
They still ignore, but with the
idea in mind that science, the
wonder cure-all, shall save the
world with new developments or
through travel to other planets.
It has been a busy year for pro­phets
of doom.

Castro Went To Costume Party
With Deodorant In Beard
BY TOMMY FOWLER
DID YOU hear that a Nixon cock­tail
is called "America on the
Rocks."
At the same time I heard that
Jack Kennedy's mother asked him
whether he would rather go to
camp this summer or be President.
I heard that Castro went to a
costume party with spray deodo­rant
in his beard. He went as an
armpit!
It seems to be a trend:
There once was a grind named
Fresser
Whose knowledge grew lesser
and lesser
It at last grew so small, he knew
nothing at all
And today he's a college pro­fessor!
A fellow passed by a certain
house every day and each lime he
looked in the window he saw a
woman hitting a small boy over
the head with a loaf of bread. Day
in and day out he watched her
hitting the boy with a loaf. One
day as he passed by and looked in
he saw she was hitting him with
a cake. He opened the door and
hollered, "Hey, are you out of
bread?" She replied, "Of. course
not, it's his birthday."

DECORATIONS, ACTIVITIES
FESTIVITIES ABOUND AT HOMECOMING
BY BILL WILKINSON
Helping Ed Dyas to make 1960
a memorable Homecoming, Au­burn
graduates beseiged the Plains
with enthusiasm and activity.
From the Alumni Office to the
doors of every fraternity house,
spirited "War Eagles" of past
years could be seen bustling about.
The Loveliest Village began
twittering with activity as early
as last Thursday when alumni
from all parts of the nation began
pouring into the city. Long rows
of traffic lined city streets as fra­ternities
and other organizations
made their last-minute efforts to
complete their lawn decorations.
Crepe paper and chicken wire
took shape in varied themes and
by 6 p.m. Friday all were com­pleted.
For the first time in three
years, no rain marred any of the
activities during the three-day
period of festivity.
The decorations were judged,
and, after long dileberation, were
awarded four fraternities trophies
for the best displays.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra­ternity
took first place in the first
ing a Mississippi Bulldog walk
a pirate' ship, which actually
floated, and an Auburn tiger mak­ing
a Mississippi bulldog walk
the plank.
Number two in that category
was won by the Alpha Psi frater­nity
with their display of "Shug's
Web," a spider web made of tin
foil and rope, with previous Au­burn
opponents "stuck" on the
web.
IN THE second category, the
Alpha Delta Upsilon fraternity
won first prize with a display of
a locomotive on a track, a bulldog
attempting to stop it and a grave
for each of the opponents the Ti­gers
have defeated. Their theme
was "Sorry we're not making any
more stops."
The Delta Tau Delta fraternity
won second place in that category
with their display of the greek let­ters
DTD acting as a balance. The
T was 24 feet tall and balanced
the two D's, one of which had a
tiger sitting in it, and other with
a maroon bulldog. The theme was
"The balance favors Auburn."

A report released recently by
the Auburn University Student
Government Safety Committee
shows an alarming number of ac­cidents
which involved students
for the month of October.
A total of 23 accidents involv­ing
students occurred in October,
according to the report. Thirty
students were connected with
these mishaps, either as drivers or
passengers. Damage to student
property amounted to the stag­gering
sum of $4,829.50.
There were 33 student traffic
violations for the month. Broken
down by category, they are as
follows: Speeding—13; Moving
violations—16; Improper mufflers
—4.
The record shows that an Au­burn
student was involved in a
traffic misdemeanor once every
24 hours during October. Each
accident had an average damage
cost of $210.00.
This report is based only on r e ­ported
accidents. It is estimated
that about 85 per cent to 90 pet-cent
of total accidents were re­ported.

Coach Gunch Mighty Right
About Athletic Nicknames
By JAMES ABRAMS
Managing Editor
Coach Sebastian Gunch of Notsnirp College, one of the top
question evaders in major football, did manage to bring out one
point in our discussion the other day.
"Jim," said Gunch, "there's only one thing I can tell you that's
for sure about any athletic team. Wherever you've got a bunch of
athletes you're going to have a whole stewpot of the wildest nick­names
ever dreamed up."
And after a little checking up I have come to the conclusion
that Coach Gunch was so right.
Just take Auburn for example.
'Mr. Clean" Tops The List
The cream of the crop is the one they've hung on frosh coach
Erskine. Russell. Now through- no fault of his own Russell just
happens to be almost completely bald . . . at 34 years of age.
First he was christened with the usual "Yul Brenner," but as tele­vision
commercials vividly progressed, so rose Russell's nickname
to "Mr. Clean." A fitting tribute.
Basketball Coach Joel Eaves has a favorite name among the
boys. "Snow Wjhite" they call him . . . and fittingly so, as he was
the leader of his Seven Dwarfs which gained widespread recogni­tion
last year.
As players will name coaches—also will they tack a nickname
to one another.
All-America Zeke Smith took one look at halfback Bobby
Lee when Lee first came to the Plain and said, "come here Tur­key."
That one is still hanging around his neck. And you know
something . . . his head is shaped like a turkey's.
The one they've got on Ed Dyas is a lulu. "Pinky" they call
him. Johnny McGeever thought this one up, due to Ed's fair com­plexion.
And in turn, one has been thought up for Mr. McGeever. De­fensive
coach Hal Herring, notorious thinker-upper of name tags
took one look at McGcever's little eyes and promptly called him
"Bc-Bc Eyes."
"Tonto" . . . And It's Origination
"Tonto" is a nickname you've probably heard for Jimmy Put­nam.
When he first came to Auburn he always came out with his
scries of Lone Ranger jokes. As his features vaguely resemble
the shooter of silver bullets' entrusted injun' companion the name
just naturally came about.
Of course, no nickname group would be complete without the
cartoon gang.
Ken Rice has received the name of the cartoon character
"Baby Huey". George Gross has the distinction of having two
—"Bobo" and "Tiny." Lee Griffith is called "Barney," after Bar­ney
the Bear. His deep voice and features well fit the name.
Then there's Bryant Harvard who is known as "Blue." Bryant
had a bad case of boils and trainer Kenny Howard was fixin' him
up real good . . . painting him blue naturally. Bobby Wasdcn
came in just as the job was being completed and called out, "Hey,
Blue . . ." That moniker is still around too.
Don Matchen, Wayne Frazier, Larry Laster, Jimmy Pettus and
Julian Holmes have pretty sensible nicknames.
"Big Daddy"???
"Big Daddy" Pettus they call him. Just try comparing his 165
pounds to Lipscomb's 288 and things don't jive . . . however, Jim­my
is the father of two children.
Don Machen, all 150 pounds of him, is called "Little Man" or
"Match." "Cotton" is what they- hail Frazier by, and his hair is
just about that color. . • ' * .•:•
Larry Laster is known far and wide as "Stump." He's short,
squatty, solid, and almost no neck at. all.. ••.:.
And what could be more natural than for Julian Holmes to be
called "Sherlock."
FRANCIS TARKENTON, star Georgia quarterback, will at­tempt
to guide the Bulldogs to an upset victory over Auburn to­morrow.
Tarkenton received all-SEC honors last year in leading
Georgia to the conference championship, and this year he is
picked by many as an ail-American.
These are the silver wings of a
U. S. Air Force Navigator. As a
flying officer on the Aerospace
team, he has chosen a career of
leadership, a career that has
meaning, rewards and executive
opportunity.
The Aviation Cadet Program
is the gateway to this career. To
qualify for this rigorous and pro­fessional
training, a high school
diploma is required; however, two
or more years of college are highly
desirable. Upon completion of the
program the Air Force encourages
the new officer to earn his degree
so he can better handle the respon­sibilities
of his position. This in­cludes
full pay and allowances
while taking off-duty courses un­der
the Bootstrap education pro­gram.
The Air Force will pay a
substantial part of all tuition costs.
After having attained enough
credits so that he can complete
course work and residence require­ments
for a college degree in 6
months or less, he is eligible to
apply for temporary duty at the
school of his choice.
If you think you have what it
takes to earn the silver wings of
an Air Force Navigator, see your
local Air Force Recruiter. Ask

training and the benefits
which are available to a flying
officer in the Air Force. Qr fill in

Three Teams Pushing Mississippi
As SEC Title Race Enters Stretch
By DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Ole Miss Rebels, angered over the previous week's
tie with L.S.U., took tHeir vengence out on hapless Chat­tanooga
as the Rebs rolled to a lopsided 45-0 victory. Al­though
this was Mississippi's fourth non-conference game
of the year, Coach Vaught's boys are still in front of the
pack as the SEC race enters the
stretch. Mississippi has a 3-0-1
record.
Lightning in the form of two
Georgia Tech halfbacks, struck
the Tennessee Vols Saturday
and knocked them from the un­beaten
ranks before a record
crowd of 45.072 fans at Grant
Field. The Engineers hit quick
and early with the first touch­down
coming on a 16-yard
scamper by Chick Granning and
the second on a 93-yard kickoff
return by Billy Williamson.
Tommy Wells kicked both
PATs for Tech but failed on
two field goal attempts. The
loss dropped previously nation­ally
ranked Tennessee into
sixth place in the conference
standings and leaves their con­ference
record at 2-1-1 while
the Jackets are in fifth place
with a 4-2-0 mark. Both of
these teams are still in the run­ning
for a bowl bid.
ONE OF the top games in the
conference and nation this
week will be the Tennessee-
Mississippi game Saturday in
Knoxville. Tennessee's loss to
Tech will take some of the
glamour away from the tilt but
it wil be a very interesting
game to watch, to say the least.
Ole Miss has never defeated the
Vols at Knoxville. This, coup­led
with the fact that it is
Tennessee's homecoming, could
make for some rough going on
the-part of the Johnny Rebs.
At this point in the race there
are numerous ifs involved in
trying to pick out a probable
champion. If Ole Miss defeats
Tennessee, then only oft-beaten
Mississippi State stands be­tween
the Rebs and the crown.
However, if Tennessee should
upset Ole Miss, Auburn .would
be next in line with Georgia
and Alabama standing in the
way. If both the Tigers and
the Rebels falter, Florida, with
only Tulane left on their con­ference
slate, would probably
move up to the top spot. There
is one thing for certain though,
and that is that the race will
not be decided until November

Record-Breaking Crowd To See
Tigers Seek Revenge On 'Dogs
BY J IM B U L L I N G T ON
Sports Editor
A record-breaking, sellout
crowd of more than 44,000 will
be on hand tomorrow at 2 p.m.
in Cliff Hare Stadium to see
Auburn and Georgia renew one
of the oldest football rivalries
in the nation. It will be the
64th game in the series stretch­ing
back to 1892, in which Au­burn
has won 34 times, lost 27,
and tied six.
The Tigers will be seeking re­venge
for the 14-13 defeat they
suffered at the hands of the
Bulldogs last year. They will
have to deal with the same
Francis T a r k e n t o n whose
touchdown pass in the last 30
seconds of that game robbed
them of victory and clinched
the SEC title for the Geor­gians.
Attention Bowlers!
Keg Tryouts Today
At Bowl-O-Matic
Tryouts for Auburn's first
student bowling team will be
held this afternoon and tonight
at the Bowl-O-Matic. Selection
of team members will be based
upon scores posted on a ten-game
roll off average. Any
undergraduate is eligible to
compete.
Saturday morning at 9:30 the
'new' Auburn Tigers will get
their first test against the Uni­versity
of Georgia's keglers.

YEAR-ROUND playing plans
are in the process of being com­pleted.
Southeastern conference
schools, as well as other institu­tions
are being contacted by
Pete Elebash, manager of the
newly constructed 16 l a ne
Bowl-O-Matic.
Elebash says that tentative
plans include four matches a
month—two at home and two
away. All trip expenses will be
paid for by a sponsor.

ANOTHER MATCH, this one
with the University of Ala­bama,
is in the process of sche­duling.
This meet is to be held
in Birmingham on the morning
preceeding the Tiger-Tide grid
battle.
Bowling interest among West
Coast and New England col­leges
is at a high water mark.
Many of these leagues play on
a traveling circuit basis and if
sufficient interest is shown in
this section of the country then
the same situation could exist.
TARKENTON, however, may
not be at his best tomorrow.
He suffered a hip injury in last
week's game with Florida which
hampered his passing in the last
quarter. It remains to be seen
how effective he will be against
Auburn.
If he is in top form, the Ti­gers'

Tarkenton was all-SEC in
guiding the Bulldogs to the con­ference
championship and an
Orange Bowl victory last year,
and he is a potential all-Amer­ica
this season. He has gained
over 1,000 yards in total of­fense,
most of it in the air. His
last half air raid on Florida last
week came close to pulling the
game out of the fire for the
Bulldogs, but the Gators held
to win 22-14.

GEORGIA'S LINE is led by
all-SEC and all-America guard
Pat Dye. The fast, 201 pound
senior is also alternate captain.
Another top Bulldog lineman
is end Clyde Childers, a sopho­more
who has come on strong
and is one of Tarkenton's fav­orite
targets.
The Georgia ground game is
led by halfback Fred Brown
and fullback Wayne Taylor.
Brown is a senior who leads
the Bulldogs in rushing yard­age,
and Taylor is a soph who
has made great strides after re­covering
from an ankle injury
which hampered h i m at the
first of the season.
Competing with Ed Dyas for
kicking honors will be Durward
Pennington. He has booted six
field goals this year, and last
year set an SEC record with
92.9 per cent on extra point
attempts.
* * +
KICKING COULD once again
be an important factor in the
game. Last year, the Bulldogs
felt the sting of Ed Dyas' toe
as he booted two field goals.
Pennington field goals have
been of major importance to
Georgia this year.
With the field goal weapon,
both teams will be in poten­tial
scoring position any time
they can cross the opposing 30
yard line.
Georgia has been consistently
tough all season. Last week's
comeback against Florida after
being behind 22-0 showed that
the Bulldogs have good spirit.
Coach Wally Butts' team will
be upset minded when they hit
the Plain tomorrow.

Dyas Lacks One Boot
To Set Second Record
By WARREN JONES
Plainsman Sports Writer
"Nothing can t a k e t h e place of poise, s t r e n g t h a n d con­centration,"
said Coach Buck Bradberry, and Ed Dyas
proved himself by his determined hard-driving assaults as
he took Mississippi State in hand and led A u b u r n to a
crushing 27-12 v i c t o ry over the Bulldogs.
"Since t h e Georgia Tech
game, Ed Dyas has given the
team a physical and a phycho-logical
lift when he booted a
three pointer to make Auburn
the victors in a close 10-7 rally,"
commented coach Vince Dooley.
Since then, Dyas has pro­ceeded
to help the Tigers up the
long SEC ladder by his timely
field foal attempts true and
his points after touchdowns, not
to mention his hard driving six
pointers.
* * *
IN THE Mississippi State
game Ed D y a s kicked a 22
yard field goal to put Auburn
in front after Tiger threats were
stalled by the determined Bull­dogs.
Upon his eighth comple­tion
he won a national record
for a single season.
Dyas was not through how­ever,
as he engineered another
three pointer to split the up­rights
32 yards away in the
second quarter. This one, which
campus
character:
was number 13 of his Auburn
time tied the national career
record.
Refusing to be stopped, Dyas
continued to score by a 25 yard
surge over the goal line to
widen the scoring gap by six
points. The extra point by Dyas
was automatic to make the
score 20-0 in favor of Auburn.
* * *
THE MAROONS had had
enough but Dyas had just
warmed up as he put the icing
on the cake with a 22 yard
touchdown run which needless
to say was converted from six
points to seven by his magic
toe.
By this time Dyas had scored
21 points and was deprived of
three more due to a 49 yard
field goal attempt which missed
completion by inches hitting the
horizontal bar.
Dyas became Auburn's regu­lar
fullback during his sopho­more
year at the age of 17, also
playing defensively as line­backer.

The annual Plainsman-Glomerata slaughter is sche­duled
for Friday, Nov. 18. At last report, contrary to popu­lar

Sigma Chi turned the tables
on ATO Tuesday afternoon as
Ralph Cunningham led his team
to a 14-12 victory. This win put
SC, ATO and DC in a three-way
tie for first place in league
4. These teams have one loss
each. ATO has beaten DC in a
sudden death, while DC stomp­ed
SC 25-6 in their encounter.
However, comparative scores
have very little to do with the
outcome of. a football game as
SC has proven. ATO struck first
on a long TD pass from Tho­mas
to Davis. But SC was not to
be denied, they struck back on
a 50-yard toss from Cunning­ham
to Patton. SC drove again
in the third-period, but lost the
ball oh downs on the ATO four-yard
line. A bad snap from cen­ter
gave SC a safety when the
ball struck the ground -in the
ATO end zone.
With the score 8-6, ATO
kicked off and SC started' to
drive. Niemier, ATO back in­tercepted
a SC pass and took it
in the end zone 40 yards away
for the second ATO touchdown.
In the last period Cunningham
started SC rolling again with his
passes. A forty yard toss to Par­ish
gaye SC the ball on ATO's
four-yard line. A pass to Crump
in the end zone was all SC
needed as they staved off an
ATO rally that time killed on
the SC 10 yard line.

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A movement is afoot—a shocking, startling movement—to
solve the problem of overcrowded colleges by the simple expe­dient
of refusing admission to women at coeducational schools!
It is argued by proponents of this plan that in today's world
a college education is absolutely essential for a man, while for
a woman it is merely a pleasant interlude between adolescence
and housewifery. There is simply not room enough for both men
and women in our overburdened colleges; therefore, in all fair­ness,
women who have far less need of a degree than men, must
yield their places.
Well sir, when I heard this drastic proposal, I was so shocked
that I sat right down and lit a Marlboro. I always sit rights d6wn
and light a Marlboro when I am shocked. I also always sit right
down and light a Marlboro when 1 am not shocked. There is
no time, no condition, no mood, no estate when it isn't a source
of soul-deep gratification to settle back and have a full-flavored
smoke—Marlboro, the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste
—Marlboro, the jewel of cigarettes—Marlboro, the pinnacle of
the tobacconist's art—Marlboro, my comfort, haven, and snug
harbor.
Well sir, I sat smoking my Marlboro and thinking over the
shocking proposal to keep women out of coed schools, and hoping
fervently that another solution can be found. If the calamitous
' day ever comes when women are banned from coed colleges, I
will gnash my teeth and rend my garments and take to my bed
without supper. Like any other Marlboro man, I love women.
I love the sight and sound of them, the cut of their jibs, their
beauty and grace, their cunning little spitcurls, their sleek
dimples, their middy blouses, their aura and effluvium. More­over,
I freely admit that when it comes to brainpower, they can
give the average man cards and spades and big casino too. It
would be a shame, a disgrace and a catastrophe to keep these
beautiful, intelligent creatures out of college. .
However, it is always wise in time of fair weather to prepare
for foul. What if the advocates of keeping women out of college
begin to gather strength? We who abhor this fiendish plan must
be ready with a substitute . . . and it just so happens I have
one—and a mighty ingenious little plan it is, if Isay so myself.
Granted that "classroom seats are in short supply, and granted
that men need degrees more than women, it is still not necessary
to bar women from college. Let them go to college but—here is
the beauty part of my plan—don't let them go to class!
WtM »M
This solution, it seems to me, answers every requirement. It
releases hundreds of thousands of classroom seats to needy males.
At the same time, it does not deprive women of the rich and
varied benefits of campus lif e. They can join sororities, shoot pool
at the Union, build bonfires for Homecoming games, pour at the
Dean's tea, plait daisies in their hair, organize drag races, sculpt
in ice, hook rugs, walk their cheetahs, play Monopoly, find love
—in short, they can do anything except go to class.
Tell the truth, girls: Is that bad? © 1900 M.Ishuimea
Classroom, space is short, but smoking pleasure is in abun­dant
supply. Try Marlboros—or Marlboro's unfiltered sister
cigarette—mild, flavorful Philip Morris, now available in
regular size or the sensational new king-size Commander.
Have a Commander—welcome aboard!

Tackle Play Gives Helping Hand November 26 Will Tell The Tale
In Tiger Rise To Nation's Top 10
BY BUDDY DAVIDSON
Assistant Sports Editor
One of the major reason's for
Auburn's steady rise to its pres­ent
position as the nation's num­ber
ten team has been the solid
play at. tackle.
Led by Ken Rice, Billy Wil­son,
Dave Woodward, and Win-ky
Giddens, the Plainsmen boast
the best two-deep tackle corps
in the SEC. Rice and Wilson,
both 250 pounders, give Auburn
the finest pair of starting tack­les
in the South, and it is doubt­ful
if Woodward and Giddens
can be matched as second team-ers.
Rice, currently living up to
his all-America billing, does
such an outstanding job each
week that he is often taken for
granted. Because he is regarded
as the best blocking lineman on
the team, quarterback Bryant
Harvard often sends the backs
over his hole for the close yard­age.
THE RISE of Wilson to his
first team position has been one
of self-discipline and determi­nation.
Billy reported for fall prac­tice
a little above his normal
playing weight and before he
could get himself into prime
condition it was time to play
Tennessee.
By the Kentucky game a week
later, Wilson was back in his
number one position, and along
with Rice continually put the
pressure on Wildcat passer Jer­ry
Woolum.
So effective was this defen­sive
charge that Woolum, who
had completed 25 of 41 passing
attempts in three games, did not
complete a single pass against
Auburn.
After the game Kentucky
coach Blanton Collier had more
praise for Auburn's tackles than
he did for his Wildcats, who
had scored their first touchdown
against Auburn since 1955.
AS A SOPHOMORE last year,
'Big Billy' first stepped into the
starting role as a result of an
injury to the man in front of
him. He turned in such a credi­table
job that he remained
there for the rest of the season.
Actually, Wilson, the father
of two children, is only playing
his second year of football in
the last five.
Billy missed his senior year
Tiger Soccer Team
To Play Emory U.
Auburn's newly-formed soc­cer
team will meet Emory Uni­versity
for the second time this
year on Nov. 19 in Atlanta.
Thus far, Emory has been their
only opponent.
In the last meeting of the
two teams on Oct. 29 in Auburn,
the Tigers were defeated by Em­ory
3-1. The Atlantans came
from behind to score three goals
in the second half and erase a
1-0 Auburn lead.
The lone Auburn score came
on a pass from Mike Shen to
Sam Al-Barra.
The Auburn soccer team is
sponsored by the Soccer Club.
It is open to all students, and is
composed chiefly of foreign stu­dents
from countries where soc­cer
is popular. Pete Schoor is
the newly-elected, president and
Jamal Al-Rawi is vice-presi­dent.
Dr. Robert Howes, Dr. Robert
Naylor and Mr. Fred Taubc arc
the Club's faculty advisors.
at Ensley due to a knee injury,
which recurred during his fresh­man
year here. He. was ope­rated
on the following year and
held out to recover.
While in high school, Wilson
weighed as much as 290 pounds,
but now finds it much easier to
play at 250.
* * *
WOODWARD lettered as a
soph last year and is probably
the most underated of. the tac­kle
group. Dave had the b e s t
spring practice of any tackle and
is considered by assistant coach
Shot Senn as "day in and day
out the best all-around tackle
on the team."
Giddens, a sophomore from
Childersburg, was the surprise
of the spring and now his op­ponents
are finding out why.
Winky is extremely agile and
hard to block. In fact, the only
one who is able to block him
consistently is Rice.
Giddens also holds a position
on the team where he is nei­ther
challenged nor equalled. He
is, without a doubt, the biggest
eater in Graves Centre.
David Hill, Joe Baughan, and
Jimmy Jones have also seen ac­tion
at tackle this fall. Hill has
played in all but two Tiger
games while Baughan was mov­ed
to guard two weeks ago.
After being switched to guard
Joe took over the second unit
duties against Florida and per­formed
like a veteran.
Baughan is generally referred
to as the younger brother of
Maxie, now playing linebacker
for the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, Joe has the potential
to surpass his brothers' college
achievements.'
THE BRIGHTEST part of this
picture is the fact that Rice is
the only one of. the group who
won't be back next year. Rice
and Wilson are both eligible for
the pro draft and will likely be
grabbed in the early rounds.
Wilson has another year of
eligibility left and. will return
to Auburn next fall.
Since Jordan took over at Au­burn,
he has turned out a string
of outstanding tackles including
all-America Frank D'Agostino,
All-SEC Cleve Wester, Ben
Preston, Dan Presley, Jim Jef­frey,
Leon Myers, and Teddy
Foret.

Fumbles Make The Difference As Bama Wins 23-6
8—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, November 11, 1960
Losing six of nine fumbles
proved too costly to the Baby
Tiger footballers Monday after­noon
as the Alabama frosh took
advantage of them and rolled to
a 23-6 win.
Denny Stadium spectators saw
the Tide turn three recovered
fumbles into touchdowns and
Tim Davis add two extra points
and a 32-yard field goal.
Auburn's only score came in
the third period when quarter­back
Frank James passed eight
yards to Reggie Allen.
. Fullback Lamar Rawson and
halfbacks George Rose and Gil-more
Brannon led the Auburn
attack, which dominated every
statistic except the score. Raw-son,
playing with a broken hand,
carried 15 times and gained 82
yards. Rose ran six times and
picked up 21 yards, while Bran­non
added 28 yards more in his
six tries.
• Frank James continued his
impressive passing as he com­pleted
six of nine for 62 yards.
This was the last game of the
season for the Baby Tigers.
Coach Erskine Russell's crew
finished with a 1-2 record.
