BY JIM PHILLIPS
Upon recommendation of South­eastern
Conference Commissioner
Bernie Moore, the SEC Executive
Committee voted last Thursday to
terminate Auburn's probationary
sentence next September 1.
From Biloxi, Miss., where the
committee held its .annual busi­ness
meeting, Commissioner Ber­nie
Moore emphasized the . fact
that this action has absolutely no
effect upon the NCAA mandate
invoked against Auburn in. May,
1958.
'Best' of new generation Japanese
architects to arrive here Tuesday
The "best" of a new generation
of Japanese architects, Kenzo
Tange, will be at Auburn Uni­versity
this month.
Tange was described by Time
magazine in a recent article as
the "best" of the Japanese archi­tects
who are now intent on mak­ing
"something new of tradition.''
This visit is the first of the
Chandler Cox Yonge visiting Pro­fessorships,
which are to be held
by Auburn's School of Archi­tecture
and the Arts. These pro­fessorships
have been made pos­sible
by Mr. Yonge's widow, Mrs.
A. M. Geer of Coral Gables, Fla.,
and his daughter, Mrs. Conrad
Bishop of Shalimar, Fla. Their
desire is to establish a "continu­ous
living memorial" to the late
Mr. Yonge, who was an Auburn
graduate of the Class of 1910 and
a Pensacola, Fla., architect for
many, years.
The dates of Tange's visit will
be from Jan. 26 through Feb. 2.
In addition to lectures and con­ferences
with architectural stu­dents
and faculty, he will give one
public lecture, which is scheduled
for Thursday night, Jan. 28, in
the Union Ballroom.
Implications of the SEC move
are only that Auburn will be ,ehV
gible to. share in bowl receipts
with the other eleven SEC mem­bers
next January and is now
back in, the good graces of Moore's
front office. NCAA probation prpr
hibits Auburn football squads
from bowl participation and other
athletic teams of the university
from entrance into: tournament
play. This sentence is scheduled
to terminate September 1, 1961..
However, should Auburn appeal
a shortening of this probationary
period, the SEC, having wiped the
Auburn slate clean, will back
such a plea according to news re­ports
of last week. NCAA's next
meeting is at Philadelphia this
April.
Auburn Athletic Director J e ff
Beard has not yet announced any
intention to appeal premature re­lease
from the NCAA sentence.

Proposed chairmen for the I960
'Village Fair Committees were an­nounced
this morning by Boiling
A Starke, Jr., overall superin­tendent.
Members of the reigning central
committee and their jobs are as
follows: Bob Jennings, publicity;
Ronnie McCullars, events; Lin
Monroe, co-ordinator; Bobby Mc-
Cord, high school contacts; Ed
Morelock, decorations; K e n ny
Schultz, business manager, and
Janet Landers, secretary.
Members of the General Com­mittee
who work under the direc­tion
of the central committeemen
are: Publicity — James Abrams,
newspaper; Ed James, special pub­licity
and Jim Phillips, radio and
television. Events—Burt Prater,

Loughran. Other members of the
staff include Bill Lollar, assistant
editor; Pat Dance, assistant busi­ness
manager and Bobby Howard,
artist.
Village Fair, scheduled for April
23, will last only one day this
year due to previous difficulty in
finding housing for the tremen­dous
influx of visitors.
The festivities are planned for
high school seniors in Alabama
and neighboring states so that
they, may learn something about
college life before their actual
studies begin. It is also used by
many fraternities for rush activi­ties.
According to Starke, one of the
most important functions Village
Fair serves is "getting students
from every fraternity and soro­rity,
every school and department,
to work in combined effort for
Auburn as a whole.
"You can't imagine what a good
time is had by all," says Starke.
More Auburn students work on
Village Fair than any other an­nual,
all-campus event.

Auburn University will seek a minimum of $14 million
in private funds over the next 10 to 13 years, announced
F r a n k P. Samford, A u b u r n t r u s t e e and chairman of t h e newly
created Auburn Development Council.
The immediate Auburn development gpal.is $2,594,000,,of
Which $1,071,000 will be used for
construction of a nuclear science
center, $787,000 for library ac­quisitions,
and $736,000 for scien­tific
equipment.
Long-range objectives of the
development program include a
minimum of $10 million for un­restricted
endowment and as yet
undetermined funds for further
library acquisitions and scientific \ ^
equipment. Samford said that the
long range sums necessary for
library acquisitions arid scientific
equipment would at least equal
the $1,523,000 for. those two pur­poses
in the immediate phase of
the development program.
Samford also announced the
appointment of Edmund C. Leach
of Montgomery as president of
the Auburn University Founda­tion,
a permanent, non-profit or­ganization
to receive and manage
funds and other assets given to
Auburn by individuals, founda­tions
and corporations.
Leach is also president of the
Auburn Alumni Association.
"After careful study extending
over many months,' Auburn has
embarked upon a realistic devel­opment,
program with the unani­mous
suport of the Board of Trus-.
tees and the members of the exe­cutive
committee of the Auburn
Alumni Association. Successful
completion of the program will
provide significantly better edu­cation
for many tens • of thou­sands
of Alabama's youth in the
years ahead and play a substan­tial
role in building a better,
stronger and a more prosperous
Alabama," Samford said.
Auburn President Ralph B.
Draughon called the development
program "sound, appropriate and
indispensable" if Auburn is to
meet "the mushrooming challenge
of higher education in the space
and nuclear age."
Dr. Draughon continued: "to
provide ever better education for
ever increasing number of stu­dents
at Auburn, we must be as­sured
not only of continuing re­cognition
of Auburn's growing
needs by the Legislature but also
of meaningful financial support
from alumni, corporations, foun­dations,
parents and other friends
of Auburn."
Dr. Draughon said that all
schools and departments of the
Edmund C. Leach
institution will benefit from the
program. "Our development plans
call for the strengthening of our
entire teaching research and ex­tension
structure," he said.
The Nuclear Science Center,
Dr. Draughon explained, will in­clude
a critical reactor or "pile,"
a sub-critical reactor, biological,
metallurgical, radiochemistry and
other laboratories, a nuclear lib­rary,
instruction room, a cobalt
60 room, a glass shop, and faculty
offices.
"The Center will make possible
broad instructional and research
opportunities in many different
fields, including mathematics,
physics, chemistry, engineering,
forestry, veterinary medicine and
pharmacy," he said.
"The significance to industry of
the Auburn Nuclear Science Cen­ter
can perhaps best be appre­ciated
by a recent report to the
Nuclear Science Conference held
at Jackson, Miss. There it was
predicted that nuclear energy,
coupled with other recent scien­tific
developments, place the Gulf
South on the brink of industrial
developments which will make
the past 5 years pale by compari­son,"
Draughon said.
He added that substantial lib­rary
acquisitions are essential
now if Auburn is to have the 500,-
000 volumes recommended as an
immediate goal by the Alabama
Education Commission. Present

dormitories, the Sigma Nu's soon
established themselves with an
abundant social life, which they
ha?e been able to maintian
through the decades. The proof of
this is that even after their move
to their new house, which took
place in the fall of '56, they have
capacity-c r o w d parties, date
nights whose attendance almost
necessitates two sittings a nd
girls have even complained that
all they get are busy signals when
they try to call the house!
Fall's social calendar consists
mainly of after-game parties with
combos, but at Homecoming they
go all but for the weekend and
have two bands. During this
quarter, they also hold what is
now known as the "Charity Bowl"
football game, which is a tradi-ditional
meeting of the Theta

The snakes seem to be as adept
in sports as they are socially. This
may be due to the support that
the rest of the fraternity gives to
their players, but this year they
won the championship in football,
and third place in the volleyball
league; they are also last year's
Softball champs. One event that
they're crowing about is the fact
that one of their boys won the
cake race this year.
Sigma Nu has improved its
scholastic standings, coming from
16th place to 7th last year. This
may be due to regular study halls
and enforced quiet hours.
Politics is a part of campus
life in which they have had mod­erate
success, with eight fresh­man
senators in 11 years, as well
as this year's Superintendent of
Spirit.
Nationally, Sigma Nu w a s
founded in 1869 at VMI as a way
of love of life, truth, and honor.
Every two years, they have a
Leadership Conference, to which
each chapter sends four delegates.
This conference discusses the
functions of fraternity life. In the
alternating years, the fraternity
holds a convention, which de­cides
on national issues.

Soccer, started on campus last
winter quarter, is only one of the
unique activities of the Interna­tional
Relations Club, Coached by
Dan McNair, the IRC team re­cently
combined with the Latin
American Club to form a stronger
team.
Popularity of the newest athle­tic
activity is rapidly growing at
Auburn. The team has had two
matches with Fort Benning, the
latest having been played January
16. Other matches with teams in
this area are being arranged.
IRC, a national organization,
was brought to Auburn's campus
in 1933. The clubs were organized
to foster a better understanding
of. International affairs. The main
purpose is to promote the study
and discussion of world affairs
from an unprejudiced and objec­tive
point of view, and to exert
mutual effort to fix the atten­tion
of all members on those un­derlying
principles of internation­al
organization which must be
agreed upon and put into action
if a peaceful civilization is to
continue.
The present IRC membership
has a representation from fifteen
countries. This representation is
definitely an asset in promoting
interest and thought-provoking
discussions on international, so­cial,
and cultural affairs. The Au­burn
chapter of the IRC has re­cently
become affiliated with the
Collegiate Council for the United
Nations. This is another step in
furthering the principles and
ideals of this organization. The
IRC membership is open to every
Auburn University student. All
students interested in the IRC are
urged to participate in its pro­gram.

from the Student Guidance Ser­vice

Campaign Interest, Anyone? 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1960
1960 is politically unique since it will
see a different face in t h e White House for
t h e first time in eight years. This unique­ness
is p a r t i c u l a r l y true for t h e students
here, many of whom will cast their first
presidential ballot this November.
Never have novice voters had a wider
field from which to select t h e nation's a d ­ministrators.
From such a list of candi­dates,
the voter will surely be able to
select one t h a t agrees with his p a r t i c u l ar
political leaning.
I n any event, t h e coming race promises
to be as colorful as c a n b e expected of a
campaign for t h e presidency in this non-commital
age.
We would like to see more political in­terest
shown here. Last week we men­tioned
Young Democrats' and Young R e ­publicans'
clubs and this week we a r e ask­ing
for l e t t e r s from enthusiastic recipients
of this idea, or political inclinists w i t h ideas
of their own. Interested persons should
w r i t e t h e s t u d e n t senate or t h e Plainsman
to present their ideas on how national poli­tics
can become a more integral part of
this campus.
Needed: A Paragon
Dr. David W. Mullins, our capable, r e ­spected
vice-president, will conclude 15
years of service to A u b u r n when he leaves
here March 1 to assume the presidency of
t h e University of Arkansas. His many ac­complishments
have been recorded in t h e se
pages as well as t h e state newspapers.
They include his highly successful work
w i t h the legislature which, typically, bene­fited
not only Auburn but also all t h e citi­zens
of Alabama.
Therefore t h e choice of his successor is
a matter of great importance to Alabama's
citizenry, Auburn's staff and administra­tion,
and t h e school's student body. Just
what sort of man do we, t h e l a t t e r group,
wish to see succeed Dr. Mullins? First l et
us consider just what sort of j o b h e must
perform.
As presidential aide, t h e vice-president
holds the second most responsible, de­manding,
and difficult office in t h e admin­istrative
organization. In addition to ad­vising
and assisting the president, h e must
be ready and a b l e to adjudge and to act
upon his own. Sometimes he will make
appearances for t h e president. Similarly,
he must represent Auburn both here a nd
off campus. His duties include advising,
supervising and directing the efforts of t he
other officers of t h e University. Yet no
m a t t e r how h e carries out t h e wishes of
the president, or meticulously and effic­i
e n t ly he performs t h e w e a l t h of adminis­t
r a t i v e work that is h i s responsibility, he
cannot afford to lose for e v e n a moment an
overall perspective: a sense of direction
and an unwavering dedication to t h a t end.
Evidently, t h e vice-president must pos­sess
some r a r e qualities in a n u n u s u a l com­bination.
In short, t h e r e are t h r e e qualifi­cations
that we believe the man must meet:
education, interest and experience, unus­ually
perceptive judgment and self-know­ledge.
To use t h e description "an educated
man" aptly, it must mean more t h a n pos­session
of a large store of facts. Out of
these facts—which are, to be sure, neces­sary—
must grow wisdom and t h e ability
to reason. And presuming that an u n d e r ­standing
of oneself and, eventually, other
men, is a n objective of education, t h e edu­cated
man would have this comprehension.
If an individual were chosen who is not an
educated man as herein defined, it would
be tantamount to n e g a t i n g t h e educational
process. We might as well choose judges
Who know no law, consult counselors who
do not k n ow human nature, hire instruct­ors
who cannot teach.
A man moving into a top executive
position in an i n d u s t r y with which he is
not familiar, or even within his i n d u s t ry
but in a different firm, initially spends a
great deal of t i m e orientating himself. Yet
he is concerned with one simple object, to
make a profit. But t h e educator, in an
equally large and complex organization,
deals with intangibles in p u r s u i t of a n ab­stract
goal. How m u c h longer would it
take him to become familiar with his
duties? If nothing else, t h e vice-president
must be able to recognize trivia, that he
might ignore it

Particularly pertinent to a cur­rent

That unique mechanism-the human mind-a
modern coin of barter
"An organization which cannot
successfully compete for the
minds of people cannot hope to
succeed . . ." Dr. George Heaton,
speaking to the Alabama Textile
Manufacturers Association.
And Dr. Heaton had a lot more
to say that makes one wonder if
the human mind is not fast catch­ing
up with the body as a material
commodity to be shaped and
If the vice-president molded to set specifications, bar­tered
for as the carcass of a steer,
or hung in the university display
window, SPECIAL SALE—JUST
OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE.
The human mind, in whatever
its condition, is a unique mech­anism
in that it always has the
potential to be developed fur­ther.
In the healthy mind there
is no physical limitation for capa­city,
whether for facts or for un­derstanding.
The only requisite
for development beyond any
given point is further activity;
for, like the body, the mind will
wither if not used. But these are
concerns for the individual; he
can do as he pleases with his own
mind; for, where education as
mental development is concerned,
the law only requires exposure
and not absorption. It concerns
more than the individual, how­ever,
when a condition arises,
and integrity to avoid compromising too such as Dr. Heaton suggests al-will
give his time to t h e innumerable petty
considerations and individual problems
constantly at his elbow, he won't have any
time left for his p r i m a r y responsibilities.
To know and to u n h e s i t a n t l y consider only
the overall goals of t h e university, requires
experience and interest.
Since we h a v e assumed that h e thinks,
we must realize t h a t on occasion t h e vice-president
is bound to disagree w i t h other
sincere, thinking individuals as to what
properly are our goals or h ow w e may
best achieve them. This will occur on a nd
off campus, particularly since this is a
s t a t e university. At such times, he must
know when to relentlessly argue his con­victions.
Equally important, he must
know when to compromise lest h e lose all
hope of ever accomplishing what h e deems
necessary. Finally, he needs the insight
soon because it is easier or safer.
To t r y to fill t h e vacancy to b e left by
Dr. Mullins is not an enviable task. Even
less enviable is t h e j o b of seeking a nd
selecting a successor. For our sake, for
t h a t of A u b u r n and indeed, Alabama, w e
hope t h e s e a r ch is successful.—Jennings

BUSINESS MGR.
ready exists and implores the tex­tile
industry to realize and jump
headfirst into, whereby the minds
of men are seen by the greater
part of industry to be just so
much material for exploitation,
and hence control; and this both
from a production and a market
standpoint. This is not to advo­cate
another legal control on in­dustry,
but rather a realization
on the part of men that their
minds need not be servile to any
faction.
From the production stand­point,
the competition for minds
parallels the competition within
industry. High levels of superior
production demand various, but
definite, levels of mental aptitude.
Highly skilled technicians, apt
and aggressive organizers, labor
leaders, and laborers are all ne­cessary
to the success of industry.
It behooves industry to compete
vigorously for the best of all
dity of production, subject to the
fluctuations of economy. The
mind is not left to realize its
true potential. And as the mind,
so goes the soul. A point may
soon be reached when education
will be completely at the mercy
of industrial demands. Techni­cians
will be developed only as
long as industry wants techni­cians.
Humanitarians will be de­veloped
only when industry needs
humanitarians. Of course this
analysis suffers from simplism,
for there is more than industry
in competition for the human
mind; yet at present, industry
seems to be the stronger of the
competitors. And it may well be
that these competitors will some­day
deem the highest possible l i ­mit
of mentality as a good and
worthy end for man.
It is in advertising that the
most obnoxious competition for
the mind is evident. The Madi­son
Avenue hucksters have drawn
a sharp line between intellectual
levels for their advertising cam­paigns.
The needs and means of a
potential customer are no longer
the prime concern of advertisers;
the object is to sell as much as
possible to as many as possible,
with certain grades of products
being aimed at corresponding
mental levels. Consumers are
plied with appeals to man think­ing
(and in various capacities of
thought), man active, man hope­ful
of social success, and so on,
ad infinitum. But advertising is
not an entirely soulless villian;
it has only realized a prevailing
condition and taken advantage of
it: gullability.
Entertainment advertising is
probably the best example of ad­vertising
exploitation. Appeals to
base instincts leave no room for
intellectual considerations. Man
at his lowest level is the target
of entertainment advertising; the
exploitation of the mind is not
limited to a competition for low
minds, but rather a competitive
attempt to drag potentially deve­lopable
minds into a state of cul­tural
stagnation. This is not an
example of the extreme, when
the fact that this advertising
method has b e e n successful
enough to spread to other indus­tries
is taken into consideration.
It is an example of how the com­petition
for minds has created
circumstances that are the con­cern
of all.
No doubt that the organization
which cannot compete for the hu­man
mind cannot succeed. But it
is questionable whether or not
this particular price of success,
viz: exploitation of the mind and
control over it, is economical over
the long run of free enterprise.
Further, it is doubtful that Dr.
Heaton was concerning himself
with the detrimental aspects of
this competitive movement for
the human mind. Nevertheless,
there is a danger involved if in­dustry
and all its interests com­pete
too vigorously and with a
lack of consideration for the
highest potential of mind. Encour­agement
of higher mentality is
certainly a common good, but
what is to ensure that all encour­agement
will be for a higher
mentality? Organizations with
special interests, such as those
that are forced to compete for
minds, have not always been
known to seek their end in a
common good, this common good
being the highest possible level
of human existence. The indivi­dual
who seeks this common good
will be the foil against exploita­tion;
for the mind of man, and
hence his soul, is his one personal,
invulnerable possession.
with a similar sort of lyric. For in­cluded
in the Act is an oath of
allegiance to the U. S. to which
recipients must swear.
The inclusion of this loyalty
clause in the Act has caused sev­eral
leading colleges, along with
Senator John Kennedy, to re­nounce
it and to reject its aid.
Auburn, via a Plainsman editorial
of last week, has said "NUTS"
(sic) to the Act's renouncers and
their principles. Such un-Ameri­can
action, the editorial stated,
was a result of. persecution com­plexes.
As Senator Kennedy indicated,
the renunciation was not at all
"to quarrel over whether Ameri­cans
should be lawful," but rather
to object to the singling out of
students "as a group which must
sign a vague affadavit as to their
beliefs, as well as to their actions."
I can detect no element of perse­cution
in such an objection. But
I can see clearly a great deal of
validity in it. It is quite reason­able
and valid to resent the Act's
implication—which begins to bor­der
on accusation—that our insti­tutions
of higher learning harbor
subversives.
Let us look at America's brand
of loyalty. Perhaps the major
question to be considered here is
whether our loyalty is compatable
with liberty. Can we have loyalty
coexistent with liberty, or must
we sacrifice one to achieve the
other? Oaths like the one con­tained
in the NDEA suggest that
it is necessary to lessen our lib­erty
in order to strengthen our
loyalty. Objection to such a sug­gestion
was inevitable. It is dif­ficult
for a thinking American to
commit himself, to an idea which
mitigates his liberty.
The loyalty oath of the NDEA
is a fallacious approach to secur­ing
loyalty. American loyalty is, in
fact, a product of our liberty. We
are loyal by choice and hence by
virtue of our freedom. Blind or
enforced allegiance is the loyalty
of enslaved peoples, an equivocal
state of devotion. Enlightened
loyalty arises from freedom and
the rights of men to engage in
free exchange of ideas.
Loyalty, then, is very much a
part of American education,; for
enlightenment is at the corMSf
educative intent, and what is edu­cation
but liberation of the mind?
It does not seem likely that we
liberate the mind by restricting
it, and it seems less likely that we
encourage loyalty by imposing it.
To the contrary, imposition and
restriction appear to be the most
palatable of foods for subversion
and unAmericanisms. Our penal
systems bear evidence enough in
this connection.
It seems to me that if we wish
to encourage genuine loyalty, we
can best do it by nuturing enlight­enment.
The campus at best is at once
a place of enlightenment and a
sort of floundering ground. Know­ledge
does not come about in a
single stroke of super-perception.
A free play of ideas is essential to
a university, just as freedom to
flounder in and among these ideas
is essential to the development of
a mature and enlightened mind.
During McCarthy days, there
was confusion as to what was in­tellectualism
and what was sub­version.
The FBI coined a parti­cular
term to differentiate the
two, and what was often the in­tellectual
approach to loyalty be­came
splashed across the world as
"potential subversion." Under the
protection of this teriri, the FBI
carried out an inquisition in our
colleges and universities.
There is a similar sort of con­notation
associated with the alleg­iance
clause in the NDEA. What
our colleges and universities are
doing cannot be termed "potential
subversion." with any degree of
validity. Enlightenment is not sub­version
at all. But even if our
legislators persist in calling it so,
let us hope that our schools per­sist
in fostering it. It is the stu­dent's
obligation as a free man to
toy with the idea of. loyalty or
disloyalty, to stack it up against
its merits and consequences, to
choose his own path. We have the
right to taste political heresy, if
we wish, just as we have the right
to taste the consequences, or to
decide just how fully we wish to
indulge.
The intellectual route, then, is
the route to genuine loyalty, a
route along which the NDEA is
doubtless aimed, but has unfor­tunately
missed.

In the Jan. 13 issue of the
Plainsman was a quite interesting
editorial entitled "Absurdity in
Congress." The author attempts
to show that any decent, clean-minded
american college or uni­versity
student should have no
objection to the loyalty provision
of the National Defense Education
Act.
The purpose of. this provision
seems to be to prevent any per­son
not loyal to this country from
educating himself with federal
funds. The value of the pledge in
doing this is not readily apparent,
and perhaps needs a little expla­nation,
because all of us are not
endowed with the intellectual
ability the editorial writer as­sumes.
I would be surprised in­deed
to find anybody "actually a
member of an anti-U.S. group on
the F.B.I. black list'" hesitating
a moment to sign such a pledge,
since he wouldn't mind lying, but
I would expect a person with
doubts as to the exact value of
every U.S. law and every part of
the constitution to hesitate for a
long while, perhaps indefinitely,
before swearing to "defend the
constitution and laws of the U.S.
against all its enemies, foreign and
domestic." Let me explain a rea­son
for my expectations by exam­ining
the nature of our "domestic
enemies." These nasty enemies are
always trying to repeal and amend
our near-perfect laws and consti­tution
and change our way of life
by presenting petitions, having
meetings, and using other such po­litical
trickery.
Perhaps it would be better to
receiving foreign aid from our
government should sign pledges
of loyalty to this country. Surely
many would. And a staff of in­vestigators
might be assigned to
pose as students and be sure that
no students violate their pledges.
All drivers on federal roads could
hold their personal papers at the
disposal of loyalty agents, who
would make sure the roads were
not used disloyally.
We cannot eliminate the already
active enemies, because they so
gladly lie, but the loyalty clause
seems ideal for rooting out doubt­ers
and potential subversives.
As the editorial writer points
out, such people already control
several of the country's lesser
schools. Fortunately one can tell
(by their refusal to accept the
loyalty pledges) that these schools
are hotbeds of possible enemies,
and a great school such as Au­burn
University can say NUTS to
them.
For some reason the editorial
reminds me of the Australians
caring for and defending their
first rabbits, only to be overrun
by rabbit progeny.
However, there can be no con­nection
between Australia and the
subject at hand because a loyalty
clause cannot grow and multiply
into a devastating horde, and is
certainly nothing like a rabbit.

A law school graduate who got

Finally, he approached

Paper is basically good for
three things: writing on, wrap­ping
things in, and the third is
probably the most useful. Occas­ionally
there is a crossing of the
first and third uses, such as with
old quiz papers and overdue laun­dry
bills. But let us investigate
the second as the time for wrap­ping
my birthday presents draws
near.
Many things can be wrapped
in paper, including more paper.
In the case of birthday presents
it is usually what is in the paper
that is more important. But as
my colleague, W. H. Byrd, might
say in his verbose column, "This
is magnanomously interrelated to
a show of the lessening of prime
values due to a lack of cosmolo-gical
aestheticism." So what the
hey?
I have noticed that it is often
possible to evaluate the contents
of a birthday package by noting
the wrapping. A well wrapped
gift is usually a cheap one,
whereas a sloppily wrapped one
is often of much finer quality.
This is so because the people who
can afford the better gifts are us­ually
lacking in artistic taste or
talent insofar as wrapping gifts
is concerned. Old newspapers or
old ten dollar bills are often the
best that the giver of expensive
gifts can manipulate into a wrap­ping.
It is very disturbing to r e ­ceive
a gift wrapped in either. In
one case you may be inclined to
read the wrapping, in the other to
keep it and throw the gift away.
It takes a great deal of courage in
this latter case to remember that
it is really what is in the wrap­ping
that counts.
Beautifully wrapped gifts often
present a delicate problem. It is
obvious that no commercially
manufactured gift could be as vis­ually
attractive as this artistic
bit of wrapping, hence there is
again the temptation to save the
wrapping as a whole and never
mind what sort of trash is in it.
If the contents happen to be a
fish you will find your love of art
strained in a couple of days.
There is an art to gift wrapping.
It is important to wrap the gift in
such a way that your sneaky
friends and relatives cannot dis­cover
its contents, either by ap­pearances
or by sound. I for one
am always fearful of rattling
gifts. It occurs to me that there
might be a head in the box, at
which time I rush to the nearest
mirror to see if it might be mine.
One trick in gift wrapping is to
wrap a small gift in a lot of paper,
several miles of it. However, I
have heard of an entire family
being suffocated on Christmas
morning during the unwrapping
of such a gift. When visitors came
several days later they saw sev­eral
hands clutching desperately
through the heap of wrapping at
the good fresh air without. Before
they could all be unwrapped it
rained, and alas the soggy wrap­ping
paper ended their lives.
Remember this my friend, that
a happy gift is a well wrapped
gift—especially if it is wrapped in
old ten dollar bills.
So Where?
Where is that traditional
young American who takes the

7960's "Snow White" Tale-
Jumping, Scrapping-Winning
For Snow White the Decem­ber
outlook was gloomy. Only
a year before, his team had
won 20, lost 2, placed second
conference-wise, and eighth in
the land. But Rex Frederick
and Jimmy Lee, Snow White's
two big aces of '58-'59 had
grabbed sheepskins and gone,
leaving the snowy-haired Joel
Eaves with only seven dwarfs
to try winning for him in a lea­gue
where monsters reign.
And win these seven did!
Through Eaves' s u p e r i or
coaching, tremendous t e am
speed and mobility, and a never
subdued spirit, the squad whose
members all stand in the 5'-8"
6'-3" range rolled to nine wins
in their first eleven outings.
Giants came and fell—only tall
Navy and Mississippi clipped
the dynamic dwarfs.
Success Story
Sunday, Snow White casually
related the reasons this team
of half pints has been able to
win games the experts said they
might be losing. "All these kids
can jump,"-said Eaves. "Our
first five all can dunk the ball,
and you know they range in
height from Dave Vaughn and
Jimmy Fibbe at a mere 6'-3" to
Ray Groover who's just an
even six feet. They're in there
fighting for the ball all the
time—getting in good position
and then holding their own to
come down with the rebound.
Small as we are, only Navy and
Ole Miss have outrebounded
Auburn this season."
Eaves continued, ' ' D a ve
Vaughn's been getting up there
real well—he's our leading r e -
bounder with 95 in 11 games.
Fibbe has 81, and for a quite
pleasant surprise, Porter Gil­bert's
snatched 72 rebounds.
These boys and the other four
who've been carrying our load
have really been 100% on those
boards. Last season Frederick
was around to pull off most of
the missed shots. This year we
don't have a big man like that.
All our kids know they've got
to do their share—so they're in
there scrapping."
"Our defense, of course, has
been awfully tight all season,
and the boys have really made

Coach Red Lawson, starting
and made a bid to overtake the
Tigers by outscoring the favo­rites
14-2 in the closing minutes.
This was the Tigers' sixth
straight victory over the Tide.
The loss was Alabama's 11th in
in a row this season, leaving
Coach Eugene Lamberts team
with a 2-11 record and 0-5 in
SEC competition.
his ninth year at the helm of
the Bulldogs, is trying to bring
an end to an eight-year record
of losing seasons. Thus far this
season his Dogs have played
.500 ball in the SEC — holding
victories over Florida and Ala­bama—
while barely losing to
LSU by four points, and Tu-lane,
by two points.
Five tall, rugged, juniors head
the Georgia squad. A pair of
6-4, .185 -lb!, 20 year-olds—Pat
Casey and . Don . Kaiser hold
down the forward. positions.
Casey is alternate captain,
best defensive man on the club,
and has been high point man
several times this season.
Phillip Simpson, 21, 6-5, 205,
and Gordon Darrah, 20, 6-2, 185,
provide good strength at guard,
Simpson is a transfer student
from Abraham Baldwin Junior
College where he made Junior
College All-America. He is the
best rebounder on the squad and
and averaging around 12 points
per game.
Captain of the Bulldogs is
Gordon Darrah. He is a good
all-around- shot, featuring a
great set shot. He led last years
team in scoring with a 14.9 av­erage,
highest scoring average
by a sophomore in Georgia his­tory.
At center is 6-7, 220-lb. John
Johnson. He has made unbeliev­able
progress in all phases of
play and is a good jump shoot­er
around the circle area.
TIGER NOTES
The Tigers are currently lead­ing
the nation in field goal ac­curacy
with a 51.9 percentage,
and are fifth in free throw ac­curacy
with a 77.6 percentage.
They rank 12th in rebounding
and two individuals are high
among the leaders in field goal
shooting.

10th in the nation with a 58.2
percentage on 53 of 91 and cen­ter
Jimmy Fibbe has connected
on 60 of 113 from the field for
a percentage of 53.1, good en­ough
for 15th.
David Vaughn, junior for­ward
from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
leads Auburn in scoring with
an average of 16.0 on 176 points
in 11 games. He is also the lead­ing
rebounder with 93 and his
48 of 58 free throws for a per­centage
of 82.7 is the starting
five's best.
TIGERS BETTER BAMA
Alabama made a frantic bid
in the last four minutes of play
but the cool but small cucum­bers
from Plainsville made with
the vital points to win like 69-66
in Montgomery last Saturday
night.
With three minutes and thir­ty
seconds to play, Auburn was
coasting on a 17-point lead, 67-
50. Bama suddenly came to life

Five Vought Divisions Provide
Engineers Greater Opportunity
for Space-Age Advancement
Young engineers, particularly, Will be interested in the
broad range of opportunities present in Chance Vought's
five divisions and two wholly owned subsidiaries.
For every Vought engineer, there is a division to make
fullest use of his talents and to speed his personal advance­ment.
And, of course, he is backed by the four other divi­sions
whose balanced activities add security to his company
and his future.
Vought's diversification, begun early in 1959, gears this
43-year-old aircraft firm for the opportunities of the age
of space.
>&w
AERONAUTICS DIVISION
New generations of manned aircraft and atmos­pheric
.missiles, devices for antisubmarine war­fare,
and many other types of weapons will
take shape here.
Among this division's current contracts: a
Navy order for development of an environmen­tal
protection and escape capsule for aircraft
pilots. Other work includes production con­tracts
for three versions of F8U Crusader
aircraft, study contracts in submarine detection
and classification, and contracts for military
and commercial aircraft assemblies.
ASTRONAUTICS DIVISION
Vought is drawing on 13 years' experience in
the niissile field to obtain broader responsibili­ties
in the race for space. Concentration is on
advanced vehicles for space exploration, and on
ballistic and anti-ballistic missile systems.
Currently, Vought is providing the four-stage
Scout research rocket and its launcher for the
National Aeronautics and Space .Aadminis£ra-i
ion. In the human factors of. ffi'gnT\^oifg$£
is taking tlfe:; lead with its' fifl5«lff #%lit?
simulator and space-oriented Cockpit Labora­tory.
Advanced materials research is also being
pushed by this division.
ELECTRONICS DIVISION
Vought electronics will be developed, manu­factured
and marketed in increasing volume.
Military systems under development include
antennas and related electronics, ground sup­port
electronics and antisubmarine warfare
apparatus. This division is also producing actu­ators
for the Minuteman ICBM.
RANGE SYSTEMS DIVISION
Thirteen years' experience in remote base
operation qualifies Vought for additional busi­ness
in this new field. The Range Systems
team will establish and operate test ranges
and test equipment for missiles and space
vehicles.
OUR REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE
IN YOUR PLACEMENT OFFICE
February 1-2
RESEARCH DIVISION
In a new Research Center, scientists of this
division will mine new knowledge from many
fields. Basic research is planned into astro­nautics,
undersea warfare, the life sciences
(relating to human factors of flight), electro-gravities
and other areas. As it evolves into
applied research, this advanced work will
materially support other Vought divisions.
Genesys Corporation, a wholly owned sub­sidiary
company, intensifies Vought's diversifi­cation
into commercial electronics. Company
emphasis is on automation, and its key per­sonnel
are engineers experienced in the fields
of electronics, computers, magnetic memory,
and associated electro-mechanical devices.
Vought Industries, Inc., formed late in 1959,
is engaged in the .design, manufacture and
marketing of mobile homes, an industry with
a great growth potential.
You live at a discount in Dallas
In Texas there is no state income tax and
no local or state sales taxes. Low school and
property levies add to yoUr savings. Home
construction costs —as well as house and
apartment rentals —are below the national
average. Fuel costs are negligible, and most
groceries cost less.
Dallas has grown faster since,1950 than any
other U.S. city. One reason is the city's wealth
of entertainment and cultural centers. Another
reason is the attractive cost of living.
Student engineers are invited to write for fur­ther
information about new Vought activities,
and how you can start your career with one
of Vought's five divisions, Please address

ALL-STAR CHECKLIST
Every week of the current cage
season, Plainsman sport staff
members will select an All-
Star checklist of players in each
intramural category who've
shown out above the rest in the
previous week's games. Owing
to the tremendous number of
games played daily, it will be
impossible for the staff to keep
statistics on rebounding, and to
secure information concerning
such finer arts of basketball
play as defensive work and as­sists.
Therefore the only fair
method of selection to the list
will be point production. The
first week's All-Star checklist
is as follows:
Independent
Don Machen and Harry Clark,
Newman Club, 14 each vs. Wes­ley;

Check the experiences of four9 59 graduates at Kearfott
Hot at all sure of the area
of engineering (develop­ment,
design, test, manu­facturing)
which would
interest him most, Jim has
been most impressed by
the way Kearfott Project
Engineers STAY WITH A
PROJECT from study phase
right through to produc­tion,
assuming full tech­nical
and financial respon­sibility
for the quality and
salablllty (price-wise) of
the finished hardware. He
finds that this Kearfott
philosophy enables him to
operate across the broad
spectrum of engineer­ing.***
Coming from out-of-
town, Jim was also
pleasantly surprised by the
wide choice of living quar­ters
readily available.
The very advanced nature
of many Kearfott projects
f i r ed this engineer's
Imagination. He joined the
Electronics Systems Lab,
where he worked on the
development of a tiny
counter-part of what is
believed to be the most
accurate test equipment
yet devised for missile
guidance systems. After
exposure to the diversity
of the projects in the Sys­tems
Lab, Stan has decided
to look no further, but re­quested
permanent assign­ment
here, where work
ranges over space naviga­tion,
digital computers,
guidance systems, solid
state physics, industrial
automation systems and
diverse electronic systems.
GENERAL
PRECISION
COMPANY
Len is pleased with his six
months' experience at
Kearfott on two widely dif­ferent
counts. First is the
combination of both theo­retical
and practical know-how
he has gained in a
field that has fascinated
htm for a long time-tran­sistor
applications. The
other is Kearfott's loca­tion.
Finding mldtown New
York only 40 minutes away
by car, Len, a veteran, is
planning to continue his
studies for an MS at one
of the many colleges In the
New York/New Jersey area:
Columbia, N.Y.U., Stevens,
Newark College of Engi­neering
are all close by.
This semester, Len has
enrolled for two Kearfott
sponsored courses taught
at the plant
GARY WOERNER
Newark College
of Engineering '59
Gary has worked by choice
hi two Laboratories since
he joined Kearfott last
June—Astronautics and
Electronics. He values the
opportunity he had to work
in direct contact with
senior engineers and sci­entists
who have played a
leading rolo In developing
the Kearfott inertlat
systems and components
Which have been selected
for application in over 80
a i r c r a f t and 16 major
missile systems. Gary now
leans to the choice of a
permanent assignment in
the Electronics Lab but
has decided to work a few
months in the advanced
Gyrodynamlcs Division, be­fore
coming to a decision.
Opportunities
at Kearfott
are expanding
Long occupying a unique position in
the fields of electronics and electro­mechanical
components and precision'
instrumentation, Kearfott —in recent
years — has moved more and more into
the development of complete systems.
This has lead to major staff expansion
at all levels, including a sizable num­ber
of positions for recent graduates
in all 4 major company units:
The Systems Division
•The Gyrodynamics Division
The Electro-Mechanical Division
The Precision Component Division
Through its flexible TRAINING
PROGRAM, Kearfott offers young
engineers freedom to explore the field,
before selecting the broad area best
fulfilling individual interests.
Remarkable rapid professional
advancement is possible — and likely
-through the PROMOTION BY
MERIT POLICY. For detailed
information, see the Kearfott
representative on campus.

'No Free Substitution'— NCAA
Last Wednesday in Miami, the powerful Wally Butts-led
H NCAA Rules Committee soundly vetoed a recommendation fos­tered
by America's Football Coaches Association concerning the
| | re-entrance of free substitution on the college football scene
| | next September. However, the Rules Committee did come up
!§ with one change which should lend to more exciting fooiball a
year hence. At any time, one single player may now go into a
, game without a time in play being charged against him. For-
H merly a player could go in only twice per quarter or as a "wild
!| card" during times out. Now he may go in and out every play
provided no one else comes in at the particular time he enters.
Punters, passers, and other individuals needed in spots will be
B able to get into action more often. Coaches will likewise find it
H easy to "call plays" by sending a man in before every snap.
H u n t . . .
If Bobby Hunt, the talented young Plainsman quarterback,
U was recently selected "Sophomore of the Year" for 1959 by the
| | able sports staff of The Atlanta Constitution. Hunt's selection
| | marks the fifth year of the past seven that Tiger youngsters
I! have been named to the honor. Previous selections have been
| end Jim Pyburn (1953), end Jimmy Phillips (1955), halfback
f| Tommy Lorino (1956), and center Jackie Burkett (1957).

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
him about Aviation Cadet Navi­gator
training and the benefits
which are available to a flying
officer in the Air Force. Or fill in

Tiger Grapplers Strongarm Knoxyille;
Take All But One Match From Opponent Plenty Of Intramural Action On The Plain
BY BUDDY DAVIDSON
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's wrestlers, coached
by Arnold "Swede" Umbach,
took a 27-5 victory over Knox-ville
YMCA by winning all
but one match in Auburn last
Saturday.
Knoxville got their f i ve
points when Richard Thompson
pinned Wayne Curtis in the first
match of. the night. From this
point the more experienced Tig­ers
swept every match.
Heavyweight Garner Hast­ings
pinned his man in 2:29.
Hastings may get some compe­tition
from George Gross in the
heavyweight division. This is
Gross' first try at college wrest­ling
while Hastings is a two-year
veteran and SEIWA champ.
Gross is a giant 250 lb. tackle
on the football team and has
great potential as a wrestler.
To put it in the words of Um­bach,
"He has more speed than
any big man I have seen in a
long time. We will have a rank­ing
match between these two
next week."
Auburn's next meet will be
January 21 when they meet

To Take Fourth Win
By BUDDY DAVIDSON
Plainsman Sports Writer
After fighting off a late sec­ond
half rally, the Auburn fresh­men
swept to their fourth bas­ketball
victory by downing the
University of Alabama frosh 55-
52 in Montgomery's spacious
Coliseum last Saturday night.
After intermission Coach Rex
Frederick saw his yearlings
open up a 13-point lead, 40-27,
after seven minutes had elapsed.
However, Hinton Butler, a fine
prospect from Andalusia, Ala.,
personally took charge to lead
a late Tide comeback. Butler
pumped in 20 points for the
night, 16 of them in the second
half surge. Also, it was his bas­ket
which tied the score 51-51
with 2:20 left on the clock.
Layton Johns then hit an easy
layup seconds later to put Au­burn's
future varsity back out
front 53-51.
Bama took possession after
the bucket and controlled the
ball, working for one last shot
to tie the score and send the
contest into overtime. However,
Tinker fouled Larry Back, who
was averaging 26 points a game,
with 11 seconds left to go. Back
stepped to the line and cashed
in on his first toss but missed
his second. Ronnie Davis re­bounded
for Alabama and miss­ed
a short jump shot. This time
the rebound was pulled off by
Johns and Auburn called time
out with 3 seconds remaining.
After the toss in Davis fouled
Tinker who hit both free throws
to put the 'game out of reach of
the Tide.

While a senior at the University of Mary­land,
accounting major Richard G.
Petzold made some definite decisions
about his future. "I wanted to work for
an established company," he says, ''but I
didn't want to get lost in a 'dead end' j ob."
Dick joined the Chesapeake and Po­tomac
Telephone Company in Washing­ton,
D. C , right after graduating in June,
1956. Following three months of orien­tation,
he became a supervisor in Reve­nue
Accounting, where he continued
training in a productive capacity, with 15
people reporting to him. Here, he sug­gested
a number of methods improve­ments
which were adopted.
Far from a "dead end" career, Dick's
took him into many operating areas:
• to General Accounting, where he
handled market research projects, includ­ing
a Customer Opinion Survey for four
Bell System companies... •
• to Disbursements Accounting, for
IBM-equipment training and, "later on,
the supervision of Payroll Deduction
procedures...
• to Personnel Relations, where he co­ordinated
a special, four-company "ab­sentee"
study and presented findings to
an important, top-level conference . . .
• to Disbursements Accounting again,
where he is now Supervisor, Labor and
Material, with an administrative assistant
and 10 clerks under his guidance.
"The telephone company brings out
the best in you," says Dick. "I've devel­oped
new skills, acquired self-reliance,
and learned how to supervise and work
with people. What's the opposite of a
'dead end' career? Well, I've got i t !"
Dick Petzold earned a B.S. degree in Accounting while in
college. He's one of many young men with varied college
backgrounds who are finding rewarding careers with the Bell
Telephone Companies. Learn about opportunities for you.

HAIL TO THE DEAN!
Today let us examine that much maligned, widely misunder­stood,
grossly overworked, wholly dedicated campus figure—
the dean.
The dean (from the Latin deanere—to expel) is not, as many
think, primarily a disciplinary officer. He is a counselor and
guide, a haven and refuge for the troubled student. The dean
(from the Greek deanos—to skewer) is characterized chiefly by
sympathy, wisdom, patience, forbearance, and a fondness for
homely pleasures like barn-raisings, gruel, spelldowns, and
Marlboro Cigarettes. The dean (from the German deangemacht
—to poop a party) is fond of Marlboros for the same reason that
all men of good will are fond of Marlboros—because Marlboro
is an honest cigarette. Those better makin's are honestly better,
honestly aged to the peak of perfection, honestly blended for
the best of all possible flavors. The filter honestly filters.
Marlboro honestly comes in two different containers—a soft
pack which is honestly soft, and a flip-top box which honestly
flips. You too will flip when next you try an honest Marlboro,
which, one honestly hopes, will be soon.
But I digress. We were learning how a dean helps under­graduates.
To illustrate, let us take a typical case from the files
of Dean S of the University of Y (Oh, why
be so mysterious? The dean's name is Sigafoos and the Univer­sity
is Yutah.)
11« $0$ i//-#k&/..
Wise, kindly Dean Sigafoos was visited one day by a fresh­man
naijied Walter Aguincourt who came to ask permission to
marry one Emma Blenheim, his dormitory laundress.vTo the
dean the marriage seemed ill-advised, for Walter was only 18
and Emma was 91. Walter agreed, but said he felt obligated to
go through with it because Emma had invested her life savings
in a transparent rain hood to protect her from the mist at
Niagara Falls where they planned to spend their honeymoon.
What use, asked Walter, would the poor woman have for a rain
hood in Yutah? The wise, kindly dean pondered briefly and
came up with an answer: let Walter punch holes in the back of
Emma's steam iron; with steam billowing back at the old lady,
she would find a rain hood very useful—possibly even essential.
Whimpering with gratitude, Walter kissed the dean's Phi
Beta Kappa key and hastened away to follow his advice which,
it pleasures me to report, solved matters brilliantly.
Today Emma is a happy woman—singing lustily, wearing her
rain hood, eating soft-center chocolates, and ironing clothes—
twice as happy, to be candid, than if she had married Walter.
And Walter? He is happy too. Freed from his liaison with
.Emma, he married a girl much nearer his own age—Agnes
Yucca, 72. Walter is now the proud father—stepfather, to be
perfectly accurate—of three fine healthy boys from Agnes's first
marriage—Everett, 38; Willem, 43; and Irving, 55—and when
Walter puts the boys in Eton collars and takes them for a stroll
in the park on Sunday afternoons, you may be sure there is not
a dry eye in Yutah.. . . And Dean Sigafoos? He too is happy-happy
to spend long, tiring days in his little office, giving counsel
without stint and without complaint, doing his bit to set the
young, uncertain feet of his charges on the path to a brighter
tomorrow. ® l86° MM shuim»n
We don't say that Marlboro is the dean of Utter cigarettes,
but it's sure at the head of tlie class. Try some—or if you
prefer mildness without fillers, try popular Philip Morris
from the same makers.
