Flu To Hit Campus;
Shots Being Given
• Dr. M. W. Brown, Director of
Student Health, stated Monday
that the possibility of a flu epi­demic
in this area is becoming in­creasingly
probable with each-passing
day. The Surgeon Gene­ral's

the 1957 epidemic, he said
that the University of Virginia
•reported only two cases after the
Student body had been innocu-lated.
He stated also that over half
the students here contracted the
flu during the 1957 epidemic.
Classes were on a "come if you
can" basis for about a month.
There were no deaths.
The flu shots now being given
a t the Infirmary consists of two
innoculations with an interval of
two weeks between the first and
second. A booster is required each
year. The shots are free of charge
- and will be given any time dur­ing
regular clinic hours, 8-11:30
a.m. and 1-4 p.m.

Fraternities Pledge 626, Sororities 502
In Largest Auburn Rush Progra m Ever
BY KATHERINE DAVIS
Assistant Editor
As Auburn wound up its largest rush program to date,
an unusually sizeable number of outstanding men and
women were pledged by the Greek groups on campus, ac­cording
to the presidents of the Panhellenic Council and the
Interfraternity Council.
Panhellenic President Sandra
Riley stated that the local soro-rieties
are extremely pleased with
the outcome of rush and feel that
their pledge classes are the best
ever. She added, however, that
more girls than usual were good
material for sororities but were
left out because this year's group
of rushess boasted a much larger
percentage of girls well-qualified
Auburn Players
Start 42nd Season
The Auburn Players are open­ing
their 42nd year of. theatrical
productions' on the Auburn cam­pus.
Plays have been produced
continuously by this organ of cul­ture
since 1919. Trials were held
last night for this year's cast. A
large turnout was expected.
"World's Wonder," a fantasy by
Alexander Reid is to be the first
production of the Players t h is
year. It is to be presented Tues­day
through Friday for the two
weeks prior to Thanksgiving.
All plays presented by the or­ganization
are given free to stu­dents
who have paid their activity
fees. High attendance has been a
trademark of the Players. Stu­dents
are given the opportunity to
see high-class productions by lo­cal
talent at absolutely no cost.
Another year of outstanding
plays and acting is expected from
the Auburn Players this season. .
for sorority membership.
Of the 502 girls who went out
for rush, 346 were pledged to so­rorities.
Bill Lollar, IFC President, said
that this year's rush was not only
the biggest but also the most hec­tic
he has ever seen. Eight hun­dred
and sixty men signed up for
rush on the first day, and by the
second day this number had
reached 1000 Lollar announced
that 626 of these pledged.
In evaluating the past week, the
IFC head said, "This was the
cleanest I have ever seen. There
were very few rumors of viola­tions,
and a minimum, number of
Violations turned in." He echoed
Panhellenic President Riley in
that he thinks that this year's
rush evidenced • more potential
leadership than any group thus
far.
As to suggestions for improve­ment
next year, Lollar said that
there is a definite need for a new
system of contacting boys so that
all can have a fair, chance. "Un­fortunately,
15 per cent of the
boys signed up for rush were
never contacted in the first
place." This matter will be taken
up by the' commission of IFC
when it evaluates rush as a whole.
The evaluation planned by both
IFC and Panhellenic should serve
to make next year's rush an even
smoother operation from the
standpoint of both rushees and
Greek groups.

Any interested student who feels
he has the required qualifications

Auburn Concert And Lecture Series
Offers Exciting Cultural Experience
BY MIKE MORTON
The students of Auburn Univer­sity
are being offered a concert
and lecture series which promises
to be one of the most exciting and
provocative cultural experiences
in Auburn history.
The opening performance in this
series will be provided for by Le
Theatre D'Art de Ballet at the
Student Activities Building on
October 19. Heading this company
of thirty-five, which includes an
orchestra, will be Anna Galina,
who has been called "the foremost
interpreter of ballet in the roman­tic
tradition."
On January 10, the Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra with Mena-hen
Pressler, pianist, will provide
an evening of superb music for
Auburn. Under the new direction
or Arthur Winograd, the Birming­ham
Symphony is expecting to
justify further'its development in­to
the top orchestra of the South.
In the midst of the Auburn Fes­tival
of Arts the Robert Shaw Cho­rale
and Orchestra will arrive for
an evening of fine choral music.
This Chorale is alive, inquisitive
and rewarding. The Lecture and
Concert Committee has gone to
great lengths to attain the services
of Robert Shaw as the outstanding
event of the Festival of Arts.
The closing performance of the
series will be provided on April 9
by the renowned John Mason
Brown. Mr. Brown has won wide
acclaim as a lecturer, author and
critic. Mr. Brown's talk here will
be entitled "Seeing Things," a dis­cussion
of the present day world as
reflected in plays, books, and
films.
The Auburn student need only
show his identification card for
admittance to any event of this
series while tickets for student's
wives, faculty members, and high
school students are on sale in the
office of. Mr. Clarence Cook in the
Auburn Union Building.
The public image of any uni­versity
is due mainly to the acti­vities
of the students. The average
Auburn student is lacking in his
campus participation. The gate­way
for cultural enrichment has
been left open through the work
of the Auburn Lecture and Con­cert
Committee. Each student
should back this group by attend­ing
every event which this com­mittee
has sought to provide.
ANNA GALINA, "the foremost interpreter of ballet in the
romantic tradition," performs with Le Theatre D'Art de Ballet
which will appear in Auburn October 19 as a part of the Auburn
Concert and Lecture series.
'Topple Tennessee'
Pey Rally Slated
BY BERT HITCHCOCK
Superintendent of Spirit
To begin this year with plenty
of that AUBURN SPIRIT, let's all
get together tomorrow night at 7:30
for a big "Topple Tennessee" pep
rally in Cliff Hare Stadium. This
will be our first chance to be to­gether
as a school, not as fresh­men-,
sophomores, juniors, or sen­iors,
but as men and women of
Auburn University. The cheer­leaders,
the band, and members of
Auburn's bowl-bound football
team will be ready to unwrap the
1961-'62 AUBURN SPIRIT to­morrow
night.
This Spirit of Auburn includes
the team, the band, the cheer­leaders,
but it is much more, for
the AUBURN SPIRIT is each of
us. Every voice that shouts "WAR
EAGLE" is an example of the
Spirit of the school of which we
are a vital part.
The pep rally at Auburn is one
of our greatest traditions. It came
into being because of the loyalty
and enthusiasm of every person
who has even been a part of Au­burn,
and it shall continue for the
same reasons.
WAR EAGLE III will spread his
mighty wings tomorrow night as
Auburn begins battle preparations
for Tennessee. Co-Captains Don
Machen and John McGeever will
introduce the 1961 version of ,the
Auburn Tigers at the start of an­other
championship year. So, don't
forget, let's all be at the stadium
tomorrow night at 7:30 to show
that we are not only proud but
that we mean business when we
yell W-A-R-R-R E-A-G-L-E!!!
'Loveliest of the Plains'
LOVELIEST SHANNON LINDLEY looks forward to the time
when the stadium will once again be filled. Shannon is a first
quarter freshman majoring in art. She is from Montgomery and
is a Chi Omega pledge.
Meeting Of Auburn Student Leaders
At Camp Rotary Hailed As Success
Topple
Tennessee!!
More than "fifty student, leaders
end eight administrators met last
Saturday, September 23, at Camp
Rotary near Wetumpka for brief­ing
and discussion on v a r i ed
phases of student activities. SGA
President Ford Laumer presided
at the conclave, the first such
gathering for Auburn University.
A considerably, smaller num­ber
than- expected appeared for
boarding the chartered buses to
Camp Rotary early Saturday
morning. This is attributed to the
conflict of the many activities of
the week before, and the respon­sibility
of fraternity presidents to
remain in Auburn for the day.
However, the meeting was termed
a success by Laumer and Dean
of Student Affairs J.. E. Foy.
Key figures in each phase of
student organization discussed
the problems of his particular de­partment.
Discussion sessions
were supplemented by breaks for
meals and recreation.
- * * • *
THE MEETING was.keynoted
by University P r e s i d e n t Dr.
Ralph B. Draughon, who chal­lenged
student leaders to lead
vigorously by facing every prob­lem
with dedication. He was fol­lowed
to the podium by Execu­tive
Vice President Robert C. An­derson.
Mr. Travis Ingram, Business
Manager of the University, ans­wered
numerous questions' from
students regarding financial pro­cesses
in connection with the stu­dent
activities. Miss Susan De-lony,

Heaviest Auburn Traffic Congestion
Brings Crackdown On Law Violators
Heaviest traffic in the history of Auburn brought a strin­gent
crackdown this week on traffic violations by the city po­lice
in an effort to control it.
Lt. Fred Hammack, acting police chief, called on drivers
to observe all parking and driving regulations in an attempt
to ease a highly congested situa­tion
on the Auburn streets.
Police are tightening up not on­ly
on reckless drivers, speeding
and driving while intoxicated, but
also ate cracking down on. red
light violations, illegal turns at
marked intersections and between
intersections, and careless driv­ing
which might create additional
hazards.
Lt. Hammock called attention
to a newly adopted city ordinance
which makes left turns and U-turns
illegal between intersec­tions
on College St. from Michi­gan
Ave. to Magnolia Ave. and
also on Magnolia from College St.
to Gay St. He added that parking
on the wrong side of streets, es­pecially
on College St., Glenn
Ave,. Gay St., and Magnolia Ave.,
will be strictly enforced.
However, Lt. Hammock pointed
out that this step is designed only
to eleminate left turns to take
parking places or to turn around.
Left turns may still be made into
alleys, driveways, etc., for busi­ness
purposes.
Turning left at the intersection
of College St. and Magnolia Ave.
is illegal between 6 a.m. and 6
p.m., or at any time the no7left-turn
marker is present. Overtime
parking in metered spaces and
parking in prohibited areas are
also receiving more attention,
Hammock said.
Chess Club Meeting
Scheduled Tomorrow
There will be a meeting on
Thursday, October 5 of all chess
players who are interested in
forming a University Chess Club.
The meeting will be held in Room
320 of the Auburn Union at 7:30

in forming such a club are
urged to attend or contact Andy

Auburn Fraternities Pledge 626 Sunday
Fraternity Rush At Last Concluded;
New Pledges Greeted Sunday
After the hectic pace of fraternity rush, the hours of long-winded
chapter meetings, everything came to halt, and it was
over. Everyone slept with visions of parties gone by, and bands
blared music that somehow sounded soft in the night. The
hands, tired with shaking and patting, stood motionless. Then,
too, there was some spirit stirring in those soundless souls, a
spirit of brotherhood which embraced them individually to
their own fraternity.
And there was an uneasy feeling, doubt and hope. Sun­day
morning came and with wild enthusiasm the fraternity
brothers greeted their new pledges: ,

New Pi Kappa Alpha House
Pike House Nation's Second Largest;
Price: Quarter Of A Million Dollars
Auburn's fraternity row has
a new neighbor this year mov­ing
into their new home on Mag­nolia
Ave. Pi Kappa Alpha is
enjoying the use of the nation's
second largest fraternity house.
After five years of planning and
construction, the new Pike Lodge
is nearing its completion. Built at
the initial cost of a quarter of a
million dollars, the house was
designed along much the same
old English lines - that have be­come
tradition with the Pikes at
Auburn.
Erected at an initial cost of a
quarter of a million dollars, the
lodge is designed to house 90, and
to provide dining facilities for
100. The financing of the new
lodge was accomplished by a
long-standing building fund and
the help of former brothers. All
financial obligations have been
taken care of, and there is no un­due
pressure on active members.
Upon entering the lodge, one is
confronted with a plush Entry
Hall with a polished slate floor,
exposed beam ceiling, and walls
of honey-maple paneling. To the
right is a 32 foot high living room
which is enhanced by exposed
beams in the ceiling and a mam­moth
fireplace above which has
been placed a hand carved wood­en
replica of the fraternity's pin.
All furnishings for the living
room are new . . . a gift from an
active alumni group . . . and have
been selected and arranged by

Loves of Dobie Gillis," etc.)
THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME
It happens every day. A young man goes off to college, leaving
his home town sweetheart with vows of eternal love, and then
he finds that he has outgrown her. What,- in such cases, is the
honorable thing to do?
Well sir, you., can do what Rock Sig&foos did.
When Rock left Gut and Shoot, Pa., toe saMio his sweetheart,
a simple country lass named Tess d' Urbevilles, "My dear,
though I am far away in college, I will love you always. I will
never look at another girl. If I do, may my. eyeballs parch and
wither, may my viscera writhe like adders, may the moths get
my new tweed jacket!"
Then he clutched Tess to his bosom and planted a final kiss
upon her fragrant young skull and went away, meaning with all
his heart to be faithful.
But on the very first day of college he met a coed named
Fata Morgana, a girl of such sophistication, such poise, such
savoir-faire as Rock had never beheld. She spoke knowingly of
Franz Kafka, she hummed Mozart, she smoked Marlboros.
WimWm
-Now, Rock didn't know Franz Kafka - from Pancho' Villa, -or
Mozart from James K. Polk, but Marlboros he knew full well.
He knew that anyone who smoked Marlboros was modern and
advanced and as studded with brains as a ham with cloves.
Good sense tells you that you can't beat Marlboro's exclusive
selectrate filter, and you never could beat Marlboro's fine flavor.
j This Rock knew.
So all day he followed Fata around campus and listened to her
talk about Franz Kafka, and then in the evening he went back
to tire dormitory and found this letter from his home town
sweetheart Tess:
Dear Rock,
Us kids had a keen time yesterday. We went down to th$
•pond and caught some frogs. I caught the most of anybody.
Then we hitched rides on trucks and did lots of nutsy stujj
like tliat. Well, I must close now because I got to whitewash
the fence.
Your friend,
Tess
P.S.—l can do my Hula Hoop 3,000 times.
Well sir, Rock thought about Tess and then he thought
about Fata and then a great sadness fell upon him. Suddenly
he knew he had outgrown young, innocent Tess; his heart now
belonged to smart, sophisticated Fata.
Rock, being above all things honorable, returned forthwith
to his home town and walked up to Tess and looked her in the
eye and said manlily, "I do not love you any more. I love a
girl named Fata Morgana. You can hit me in the stomach with
all your might if you like."
"That's okay, hey," said Tess amiably, f'l don't love you
neither. I found a new boy."
"What is his name?" asked Rock.
"Franz Kafka," said Tess.
"A splendid fellow," said Rock and shook Tess's hand, and
they have remained good friends to this day. In fact, Rock and
Fata often double-date with Franz and Tess and have heaps of
fun. Franz can do the Hula Hoop 6,000 times.

where members and

progress. To the left of the entry
hall is a newly furnished dining
room which seats 120 persons. Di­rectly
beneath the living room
is the party room where parties
may be held without disturbing
those in the dormitory section.
The party room opens onto a cov­ered
patio and then onto an open
terrace where festivities may
spread if the size of the party
room is ever insufficient. To the
rear of the living unit is the
dormitory section. This has been
thoughtfully placed away from

may study at any time. The dorm­itory
section houses 90 men and
it, as well as the living areas,
will be fully air conditioned.
A formal dedication and open

The completion of construction
will include such items as profes­sional
landscaping, a formal gar­den

to the original contract

Lost and Found Notificafm
Project for Lost and Foui
BY BILL ELLIS
Under the able leadership of its
superintendent, Dot Sarris, the
Union Activities Committee has
planned a new insight into the
relationship between the Auburn
student and campus organiza­tions.
The committee has planned
several new facilities and re­creations
for the coming year.
For the first time they are equip­ped
to show cinemascope movies
along with a wide variety, of
technicolor films each week. A
new bulletin board has been
placed in the Union lobby to fa­cilitate
lost and found notices
and want ads. Every year the
Union sponsors the Calendar
Girl Pageant, faculty reception,
art exhibits, jam sessions, and
sports car clubs.
Seven committees make up the
core of the Union, along with the
superintendent and chairman of
these committees which make up
the organizational committee.
The c o m m i t t e e s and their
chairmen are as follows: Fine
Arts—Afton Morrill, Entertain­ment—
Bob Hubbard, House—Vic
Kester, Publicity — Alan Stan-feld,
Recreation—Patty Hackett,
Secretarial—Judy Harris, Social
—Sally Jones, Secretary to Pro­gram
Council—Judy Watkins,
Superintendent—Dot Sarris.
The Program Staff already has
on tap for this Fall a trip to the
University of Virginia for the an­nual
Regional Union Conference,
where representatives from the
Southeastern States plus Puerto
Rico and Columbia will meet.
The following are the announc­ed
meeting times of the commit­tees
for the coming year. The ini­tial
meetings will start next Mon­day,
and anyone wishing to work
with a committee is urgently re­quested
to attend. Monday: En­tertainment—
4:00 p.m. Tuesday:
Fine Arts—4:00 p.m., Publicity—
3:00 p.m., Program Council—7:00
p.m. Wednesday: Social—4:00
p.m., R e c r e a t i o n — 3 : 0 0 p.m.
Thursday: House—4:00 pjn.
There will also be an organiza­tional
meeting Oct. 2, 2:00 p.m.,
in the Union Ballroom. If there
are questions about the Union •
program or its objectives, please
feel free to contact the superin­tendent
in her office between
2:30 and 4:30 Monday through
Thursday.
The Auburn Union opened Jan­uary
3, 1954. In its first three

Limit Enrollment?-Auburn's Big Problem
AUBURN ENROLLMENT set a new record
this year, just as it has every year since
the Korean conflict denuded the campus of
most of the male students. We have come
to take these new records, unlike Babe
Ruth's recently imperiled mark, almost for
granted.
We view this generally as well and good,
especially since it comes at a time of gen­eral
population explosion and an unprece­dented
awareness of the need for a college
education in our modern society. We can­not,
however, reconcile these enrollment
records with state appropriations which fail
to keep pace with the increased number of
students and the increased needs of a mod­ern
university.
It has often been pointed out on these
pages, just as it was ably pointed, out at the
recently ended legislative session in Mont­gomery,
that our increased enrollment de­mands
an increased appropriation. The
cruel facts of life, however, are that our
current appropriation is actually less than
the appropriation which we received two
years ago, although there are several hun­dred
more students to educate.
Alternatives
Therefore, at the present juncture we
are forced to face the hard realities of life
and make one of two choices. We. can either
continue to allow our school population to
multiply by admitting all graduates of Ala­bama
high schools who think they want to
go to college, or we can limit our enroll­ment
until such time as the Legislature in
its wisdom sees fit to appropriate enough
money to educate more people.
Although the former alternative may
seem at first glance to be the more attrac­tive,
if we examine it closely, along with
its inescapable implications, it must give us
pause.
Almost everyone will admit that, in an
ideal situation, we should make an attempt
to educate everyone who wants an educa­tion.
The situation here, however, is far
from ideal. We are faced with the cruel
certainty that if increased enrollment is not
accompanied, as it has not been, by in­creased
appropriations, the quality of the
education we can offer is bound to deterio­rate
until we reach a point of diminishing
returns on the money that is spent for edu­cation.
It seems obvious that with a given
amount of money, 10,000 students cannot
be educated as well as 9,000. As our en­rollment
increases, the pie must be cut in
ever narrower slices. This means that we
loose more and more good instructors, we
fail to keep pace in research, our graduate
program degenerates, needed services can­not
be provided, and the physical plant
crumbles further and further into a state
of decay. Finally, and the time may be clos­er
than we think, we will reach the point
that the value of any education at Auburn
will be somewhat dubious.
A Bleak Picture
This is admittedly a bleak picture, but if
the present trend continues, the conclu­sion
seems to be inescapable.
The far better alternative, we believe, is
to limit enrollment. How are we to limit it?
The obviously correct and just way is to
exclude those people who are least capable
of benefitting from a college education.
Since over 50 per cent of any average group
of freshmen at Auburn are not going to
graduate anyway, isn't it eminently sensible besi.seiier called The 13th Apostle
to exclude as many as possible of the group
which won't graduate before, not after,
they first enroll as freshmen? This would
prevent a tremendous waste of the tax­payer's
money, as well as provide for a
much better education for those who are
able and willing to benefit from it.
Many problems arise, of course, in de­termining
just how we are to go about ex­cluding
undesirable, poor-risk students. The
cry is always raised that a few students who haps" too slowly, the printed words
would fail an entrance exam have later leap out and lap on the brain; and
gone on to prove themselves capable of
college work. We admit the.truth of this,
but we doubt its relavence. Such exception­al
cases—and they are the exception rath­er
than the rule—could be provided for in
Alabama by such schools as Jacksonville
State and Snead. If, while there, they prove
themselves to have been unjustly excluded,
they should be readily admitted to larger
schools such as Auburn.

Book Review...
Critic Finds There Is Something 'Flickering Within'
After Laying Down (real Book - 'The I3th Apostle'
By Jim Dinsmore
Our minds, perhaps, have be­come
stagnant after a summer of
unchallenging work or ease.
And there are those who ask
"How do you study?"
Within the pages of a modern
lie innumerable pins calculated to
prick the stagnant mind into ac­tivity,
lies, for those who sincerely
desire to find out, the answer to
that hounding question.
The book, by Eugene Vale does
not give study hints like "set a
definite schedule." It is a novel
about ideas and ideals, about peo­ple
and their actions, and the rea­sons
for their actions. It is an
analysis of essences. Slowly, per-
The Best Interest
they catch you within the feverish
struggle of life . . . and death . . .
until you lose yourself completely
and escape into a world that is
made up of naked individuals
running around with nothing but
their souls. It is interesting and
stimulating.
There is much excitement
purely on the plot plain—but all
this is allegorical. Everything re­volves
around man trying to find
himself or trying to escape from
himself. This is the story — one
which has been, the subject of
many another novel, one which is
perhaps the most exciting story
that could ever be told.

IT IS A modern novel, con-
Our course, as a publicly financed insti­tution,
must be adjusted in this case to the
best interests of the state and nation as a
whole, and this course certainly seems to
lie in the direction of the best possible edu­cation
for those capable Of benefitting from cerned with things contemporary
it, and the most possible good from the things we can understand because
education tax dollar.
Because of these facts, we would like to
see Auburn initiate immediately a program
of selective admission, based on a reliable
test such as the College Board examina­tions,
and taking into consideration such
factors as high school grades and overall
demonstrated character. We believe that
this is to the ultimate best interest of Au­burn,
its students, and the people of Ala­bama.

we fit into it—somewhere, prob­ably

There is more, much more
pushed into the pages of this book.
The ideas are overflowing. I be­lieve
The 13th Apostle to be a
great novel, with certain reserva­tions
which are few and unimpor­tant.
I believe it will endure. How­ever,
I know that no one would
take my word without first
checking into it themselves. I
hope.
RIDING in a taxi in Tokyo about
three weeks ago, I noticed a
large number of policemen posted
throughout a park near the Diet,
Japan's Parliament Building. My
Japanese friend explained that at
that time Japanese communists
were commemorating the famous
riot of last year which caused the
cancellation of President Eisen­hower's
scheduled visit to Japan.
There; had been some expectation
of new rioting and the police had
been alerted for preventive action.
The natural reaction of. an
American unaccustomed to first­hand
knowledge of such incidents
would be one of great alarm and
suspicion—alarm over the actual
occurrence of the incident and
suspicion over the strength of the
Japanese communist movement.
The students to whom I have
spoken expressed concern over
what they feel is the American
press' blanket branding of Japa­nese
students as "red," due to the
fact that the 1960 riot was stu-dent-
institgated. In defense of the
charge they informed me that
most of. their students, having
studied English extensively and
being familiar with American life,
are well aware of American aid
and realize its benefits. Most of
them consider communism a weak
movement in their country's in­ternal
affairs. This is somewhat
upheld by the fact that within the
Diet (Parliament) whose total
membership is 462, only two mem­bers
are communist.
It seems that Japan should have
every reason to be particularly
adverse to communism. Russia
showed her true colors in World
War II by declaring war on Japan
two days before the surrender—
almost two weeks after the first
atomic bomb had crushed any
faint Japanese hope of, victory. But
the Soviets were there when the
spoils of the Pacific war were
passed out, and they still h o lt
some northern Japanese islands,
repeatedly refusing to consider
their return to Japanese control.
Without even considering Amer­ican-
inspired improvements, the
Japanese themselves have created
tremendous prosperity in almost
every area of national life. Japar
now has the highest literacy rate
in the world. The percentage
high school and college graduates
—always high—is steadily climb­ing.
Factories are going up every­where,
and private home con­struction
is booming.
Yet the Japanese will be the
first to admit that their middl
class is not nearly up to the
American middle class standard,
and the poor man lives in dire
povety.
It is therefore understandable to
some extent when the poor Japa­nese
says, "I have lived in povety
all my life under the present sys­tem.
Maybe communism would be
better." And this is the sales pitch
that communism uses all over the
world—"Poor people of the world!
Things can't be any worse for you,
so let us make it better."
But how can anyone believe the
"Soviet saviors" when one con­siders
the numerous communist
atrocities and injustices to
many peoples? And Berlin stands
as the monumental example of. the
failure of Soviet communism,
is our hope that the poor ignorant
farmer in Japan will take notice.

A Pyracanthan Fable . . .
Destruction Of Pyracantha Bush
Causes Consternation, Dissertation
By Jerry Roden
Water, Water Everywhere, Along Fraternity Row
AFTER BEING on the scene during Mon­day
night's fraternity row water battle,
our first impulse was to write a scathing
editorial damning the campus policeman
who fired a shot into the ground while in
pursuit of a student. Later, however, after
talking to all the policemen involved as well
as many of the participants in the battle,
our lust for blood was somewhat abated.
Although we still feel that it would have
been much wiser if the policeman had kept
his pistol holstered due to the extremely
crowded condition, we certainly cannot
condone the wanton disrespect of law and
order which prompted his pursuit in the
first place. According to the best informa­tion
we could piece together out of the
many rumors and exaggerations, someone
(who was never caught) had thrown water
on the policeman and then hit him in the
face. We must agree with his right to en­force
respect for law.
Regardless of what actually happened,
and the true facts will probably never be
known, the point has been made that water
battles can create a dangerous situation.
Also, nothing short of calling out the Na­tional
Guard could stop them anyway—cer­tainly
not any police force in Lee County.
We feel that it would be best for all con­cerned
for the police to stay out of any fu­ture
water battles as long as they stay
around the fraternities and don't cause in­jury
or property damage. The policemen
we talked to, including Chief Dawson,
agreed with this. Chief Dawson further of­fered
to block off the street whenever fra­ternities
want to do battle in order to help
insure safety and to keep traffic flowing in
a reasonably orderly manner, if the frater­nity
leaders will only give him a little no­tice
before the battle is to start.
We suggest this to be a good and proper
course of action to follow in the future—
that fraternity leaders notify Chief Daw­son
before a water battle, and that so long
as it is nothing more than a water fight, the
police stay completely out of the "battle
zone,"
No More Fall Rush???
Deferred Rush Offers In Advantages;
May Be Detrimental TjFrafernities
By Ed Jonj
The rumor has reached this
writer's ear that the rush season
we are now experiencing might
be the last under the present sys­tem.
It seems that plans are be­ing
bandied about in some quar­ters
to convert to a deferred sys­tem
of rushing. Generally, a
method of this type might fall
into one of two categories; first,
rush conducted during fall quar­ter
with pledging occuring at the
first of winter quarter and sec­ond,
no rushing or pledging un­til
winter quarter.
Proponents of the deferred sys­tem
claim its greatest advantage
lies in the f a c t that both the
fraternity and rushee have the
opportunity to become better ac­quainted
with each other than
they do under the present sys­tem.
However, most fraternities
depend heavily on recommenda­tions
from former members and
alumni chapters, and on spring
and summer rush. Consequently,
when fall rush arrives the irater-nity&
iows exactly whom it
want) pledge, and the rushee
usuaiis quite sure which fra-terniie
will join.
Thpcond alternative of de-ferre^
ish mentioned above can
clair6; advantage that it per­mits
incoming freshman to ad­just
Iniversity life before be­ing
|ected to rush. On the
otheiid, such a system would
be cocive to what one might
propfcall 'dirty rushing".
In I long run, the deferred
s y s t| of rushing would prove
to befhh more expensixe than
the pjit method, for it would
almo^mand that a fraternity
have lush party every week
end tcnain in the race for the
rushephe possibility also a-rises
t interest would tend
to lajp rush were conducted
over fitire quarter.
Rus) even for a week, is
not tr|)st pleasant experience
in thef-ld. Drawn out over a
quartd could become down­right
asant.
When the Pyracantha bushes on
campus burst into their accustomed
brilliance this fall and winter, one
of them will stand colorlessly nak­ed
and lonely. A culprit whose
name normally appears at the
head of this column has, without
any particular malice, denuded
this one bush of. the small green
berrie sthat would have later be­come
first a bright orange and
then a deeper and deeper red.
With this confession the culprit
stands fully ready to accept the
responsibility, guilt, and shame of
his ignominious act. But before
the reader censures the act and
the actor too harshly, I must plead
special conditions and mitigating
circumstances.
The act occurred while the per­petrator
was deeply engaged in
conversation with one of Auburn's
very bright young professors, who
was on his way for a night ses­sion
in his sweltering office and
laboratory. The discussion under­way
was the result of a casual con­tact
and should have ended, ac­cording
to the evening plans of
both participants, where their res­pective
paths parted at the junc­ture
at which the Pyracantha bush
stood. But this was one of those
stubborn conversations that as­sumed
an independent character
of its own and insisted upon con­tinuation
despite its creators' ef­forts
at termination.
Under such circumstances, the
small green berries of the Pyra­cantha
bush became the victims of
the nervously plucking fingers of
the narrator. Those fingers work­ed
so automatically, so much of
their own accord, that it almost
seems they, not their owner, should
be adjudged guilty of the perni­cious
act. To support such a judg­ment,
we should note that the
owner of the fingers sincerely
loves Pyracantha, not only for its
deep green foliage, and for its
beautiful berries but also for its
thorny intransigence which makes
it the bane of the neat gardener's
existence (One can of course by
constant pruning make the Pyra­cantha
conform to a desired shape
and size, but let it go a little while
and it quickly confirms its indivi­duality
by again growing willy
nilly in- whatever direction it
chooses- without regard to strict
geometrical proportions and the
gardener's previous careful condi­tioning).
The owner of the fingers
would under no circumstances
ravage; a Pyracantha. To do so
would .be, to speak kthe truth,
completely against his nature.
But enough of this special plead­ing.
The members of the jury be­gin
to yawn or to gaze at the de­fendant
with cold antagonism. And
what they are thinking is true. No
amount of sophistry and sentimen-talism
can restore to this particu­larly
Pyracantha bush its ravaged
fruit. Those little green berries
can never ripen into first a bright
orange and then a deep dark red
to refresh the soul of man and at­tract
the famished bird, which
would disperse the enclosed teed
to new soils from which other Py­racantha
would grow. On the
walks and in the grass, the em­bryo
seed shrivel, to nothingness
and many are pulverized into dust
by trampling feet.
The owner of the fingers can­not
deny the accomplished fact of
the depredation nor that other fact
that he alone is responsible for
the actions of those fingers—if
they acted of their own accord in
willful negligence, his was and is
the responsibility for their disci­pline.
He must bear the burden of
the guilt, but others will share
with him and the Pyracantha the
deprivation that will result when
this bush stands naked ar,d lone­ly
this fall and winter.

Your education is your road
map to help prepare you for
more pleasant journey down this
overcrowded highway of heart
aches and disappointments.
When a student enters college
he is often uncertain as to what
he wants to do. The first few
weeks of life on a University
Campus will be one of the great­est
challenges he will ever have
to face. There will be hardships
disappointments and discourage­ment
that must be overcome.
If you succumb to these dis­couragements
and disappoint­ments
you have answered the
question. You have decided not tc
be, and your life will most likelj
be unfruitful and filled with un-happiness.
On the other hand if you brush
off these thorns of education anc
continue to strive forward in
more vigorous manner, you wil
have answered the question in
positive manner. You have de-l
cided to be! This decision is onq
that will never be regretted. Yoil
will have proven to the worldl
but more importantly to yourselfl
that you have what it takes to b<f
a success in life.
Now the question arises "Whal
is success?" There have beeiT
many ideas expressed on thil
question. This is a question thai
can only be answered by the in{
dividual.
To be successful, a person mus|
have a definite goal or purpose
mind and continually strive toJ
ward this goal. You must be caul
tious of your mistakes but nevei
dsicouraged by them. The person
who never makes mistakes neve|
accomplishes anything w o r 11
while. The person who make|
mistakes but profits from then
and learns from the mistakes
others is well on the way to bel
ing a success.
A quotation that I have heard
for many years goes as follows!
'Aim high if you would <de wclll
Aim for the righest if you y o u if
excel." What is your goal in life|

AUBURN ARMY R0TC CADETS
MAKE GOOD AT SUMMER CAMP
With final results from Summer
Camp now in ,Auburn University
Army ROTC Cadets have run up a
record that would be the envy of
any military college in the coun­try.
In these summer camps, Au­burn
cadets were in competition
with cadets from nearly every
large college and university in the
nation. Their high sanding can be
attributed to not only their mili­tary
training received at Auburn,
but also to the high quality of in­struction
received in all depart­ments
wrich provides the necessary
background.
The Signal Branch with 25 ca­dets
stood first in standings at
Fort Gordon, Ga., with an average
score of 71.45. This was in con­trast
with an overall camp aver­age
of 55.20 and certainly better
than University of Alabama's 58.82.
At Fort Belvoir, Va., the Engi­neers
did almost as well, placing
their 24 cadets second to Georgia
Tech with a score of 80.76. Tech's
score was only .16 points better.
The tankers at Fort Knox, Ky.,

laid strong claim for Auburn to
the title "Armor School of the
Deep South" by placing their 30
cadets second to Virginia Military
Institute with a score of 64.5
against a camp average of 59.8.
The 21 Artillery cadets, taking
their training at Fort Sill, Okla.,
were not rated as a group, this be­ing
against the policy of this par­ticular
camp. However, as indi­viduals,
they did very well, scoring
highly in such events as marks­manship,
map reading, and fire
direction.
Apparently, today's Auburn Ca­det
is continuing the same high
military standards that have pro­duced
so many outstanding offi­cers
in the past.

Auburn ETV Presents 35-week Series
On Physical And Mental Handicaps
Beginning this month, Auburn
Educational Television is present­ing
a 35-week schedule of pro­grams
on the diagnosis, treatment,
and rehabilitation of children and
adults with physical and mental
handicaps resulting from disease,
birth defect, injury, or heredity.
On Channels 2, 7, and 10 each
Wednesday at 8 p.m., Dr. J. Buck-minster
Ranney, Auburn profes­sor
of speech and director of the
Auburn University Speech and
Hearing Clinic, will narrate the
program, which will draw upon
the information and experience of
voluntary and state health and
education agencies.

Football Weekends
Mean More Traffic
The Gridiron Season has arrived
. . . Safety Director Floyd M.
Mann said today that, "The streets
and highways will be lined with
football fans on each weekend
throughout the football season,"
The director said, "If all foot­ball
fans will be careful as mo­torists
to and from the games, and
will exercise care and caution as
pedestrians traveling from their
automobiles to and from the sta­diums,
there is no reason why we
can't prevent accidents during this
1961 football season."
Mann said it has been several
years si ice we have had a serious
injury or death reported in the
State of Alabama as a result of a
traffic accident while a person
was traveling' to or from a major
college game. If everyone will ex­ercise
due caution and obey the
traffic laws we can prevent acci­dents
while traveling to all foot­ball
games during this 1961 Sea-

European Study Program Opened
For Sophomores And Juniors
6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Sept. 27, 1961
September 25 marked the offi­cial
opening of the application
period for three spring semester
undergraduate European study
programs offered by the Institu­tion
of European Studies.
Sophomores and juniors who
meet the minimum standards for
each of the programs may apply
until December 15. The three pro­grams
are located in Vienna, Frei­burg
(West Germany), and Paris.
Selections are made on the ba­sis
of past records of academic ac­complishments
and recommenda­tions
from, two faculty members
familiar with the applicant's scho­lastic
capabilities.
Robert T. Bosshart, Institute
president, said a wide range of
liberal arts courses is offered to
fulfill the varying needs of U. S.
undergraduates studying in Eu­rope.
"The programs are designed to
be an enriching complement to
American education. As such, they
enable sophomores and juniors to
study in Europe without disrupt­ing
their previously begun pat­tern
of studies," he said.
Students need not be proficient
in a foreign language to study in
the Vienna and Paris programs.
Classes there are taught in Eng­lish
as well as in the language of
the host country. Only juniors may
enroll in the Institute's Freiburg
program, and competence1 in the
German language is required
there.
Bosshart said field-study trips
serve as a supplement to formal
classwork and form an integral
part of each program. England,
France, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Austria, Germany,
Italy and Spain are explored by
the Vienna students on three
field-study trips.
The Paris students visit Italy,
Spain, England, France, Belgium
and Switzerland on two study
trips. Freiburg students are intro­duced
to Germany, Switzerland
and Italy on two field-study trips.
Intensive language instruction
is given to all students, according
to Bosshart. Other special courses
may also be attended.
Students are housed in private
homes to provide a practical work­shop
for the learning of a new lan­guage
and a deeper insight into
European culture.
All spring semester students will
sail from New York in February,
1962, and return to the United
States in July.
A Chicago-headquartered non­profit
educational organization, the
Institute of European Studies con­ducts
full-year as well as spring
semester programs in Europe for
American students.
Bosshart said that full informa­tion
about programs can be ob­tained
by writing the Institute of
European Studies, 35 East Wacker
Drive, Chicago 1, 111.

Auburn Tigers Move Into Second Decade Under Jordan,
Meet Tennessee On Saturday In '61 Season's Opener
Knoxville's Shields-Watkins Field
To Be Scene Of Gridiron Battle
BY JOHN WALLACE
Managing Editor
The second decade of Coach Ralph Jordan's tenure as head
football coach at Auburn University will officially begin Sat­urday
afternoon in Shields-Watkins Field in Knoxville where
the Tennessee Volunteers will play host to Coach Jordan and
his gang of Auburn Tigers in the season's opener for both
teams.
The Tigers will go into the game
almost at full strength but several
key pljayexs jnay; be - hampered
slightly'by 'injuries. Ends Don
Downs and Bobby Foret and half­backs
Jimmy Burson and Don
Machen have recovered sufficient­ly
from injuries to be included in
Saturday's, action, but their recent
layoffs may impair their effec­tiveness.
There's every indication that the
Vols will have one of their best
teams in recent years and they
rate.'as.'a dark-horse .candidate f'qr
the Conference crown. Coach Bow-den
Wyatt has 25 lettermen re­turning
from a team which fash­ioned
a 6-2-2 record and finished
in a tie for fifth in the SEC.
WYATT HAS been .a bit opti­mistic
lately about his team's
chances mainly because of better
depth than he had on 1960's team
and despite the loss of. star tackle
Ken Frost to the pros. Frost, 6-4,
225-pounds, was voted Most Valu­able
Lineman for the Vols last
year. ;
Chief losses off the '60 squad
were ends Cotton Letner, well-known
to Auburn fans for his per­formance
in past Auburn-Tennes­see
battles, and Mike LaSo.rsa,
tailback Bill Majors and blocking-back
Jim Cartwright—winner of
the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy
for his last two seasons.
Replacement for these men
should be adequate, however, with
Tackle Ed Beard, a 220-pound
Virginian who Wyatt says has
"great potential," and soph sensa­tion
Mallon Faircloth as two pro­mising
newcomers.
* # *
ANOTHER .reason for optimism
at Tennessee is the presence, of
one of. the finest backs in Dixie,
dazzling single-wing tailback
Glenn Glass. Glass, a 185-pound
senior, is an explosive runner who
averaged 5.3 yards per carry last
year. Glass, however, is not con­sidered
to be a top-notch passer
and Faircloth may be called upon
to handle some passing situations.
Other standouts are J. W. Car­ter
at fullback and Wayne Coleman
at blocking'back. Backing up Car­ter
will be Jack. Nichols and Bun­ny
Orr. Hubert McClain and Frank
Musgrove will probably split the
wingback duties. Tailback George
Canale may see some action and
also will do the punting.
In the line Junior Tom Wil­liams
will man . one. tackle post
•while Beard and Dick Evey, an­other
soph, battle to break in the
lineup at the other side of the line.
Mike Lucci and L. T. Helton form
a formidable pair at center.
# * *
GUARDS AND ends supposedly
are the sore spots for the Vols.
Mike Stratton and Ken Breeding

DOES IT!
are probable starters at ends while
the guard positions are up for
grabs. However, Coach Jordan,
commenting on the reported weak­ness
at end for the Vols, said, "If
they don't have good ends, it'll be
the first time in 30 years they
haven't."
Tennessee is the only team in the
SEC to employ the single wing and
is also the only team the Tigers
will meet this year with such an
offense. This makes it hard ofi de­fense
because of the uniqueness
of the single wing.
It is especially difficult for soph­omores
to adjust to and since Ten­nessee
is the type team that plays
for breaks one miscue by an edgy
soph can spell the difference be­tween
victory and defeat.
* * *
THE DEFENSIVE end play
against Tennessee's offense is es­pecially
vital. Auburn's outlook in
this department is mixed. D a ve
Edwards, perhaps the finest de­fensive
end in the South,, has been
tabbed by end coach Gene Lo-rendo
as the finest all-round end
to play at Auburn in the past 10
years, no little achievement con­sidering
the presence during that
period of such outstanding flank-men
as Jimmy Phillips, Jim Py-

Lothridge-Tech's Triple Threat
This summer I stated here that Stan Gann, the only re­turning
letterman for Georgia Tech, would be directing the
Yellow Jacket's Slot-T offense "unless one of the three sopho­mores
behind him puts on the steam early this fall."
Well, that's just what happened way out west in Califor­nia
last Friday night where young Billy Lothridge threw, kicked
and punted the Southeastern Conference stalwarts to a 27-7
trouncing of Southern Cal in a game generally considered to
be a toss-up.
Lothridge, the 6-1, 184-pound sophomore from Gainesville, Ga.,
was almost as untouchable as Elliott Ness. He passed for one of Tech's
three touchdowns, kicked two field goals and was responsible for all
points after touchdowns. And if that's not enough, he kept the Trojans
deep in their own territory with some very fine punting.
The 36,950 fans sitting in Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum were
fully convinced that Tim Cohane wasn't talking through his sports
writing hat when he picked Lothridge to be the nation's top sopho­more
this year in Look Magazine's annual p.re-season guessing.
Win Some, Lose Some—
Tech wasn't the only Southeastern Conference team to rack up
victories again non-conference foes. Ole Miss beat out Arkansas, a
top notch Southwestern Conference squad, by a score of 16-0 in a
nationally televised game. Also, Larry Libertore and the Florida Ga­tors
did the league proud by defeating Clemson 21-17.
And speaking of winning and losing football games, the Univer­sity
of Virginia fans must be overjoyed. Their Cavaliers romped on
William and Mary 21-6 to end a 28-game losing streak.
Saturday must have been a sad day for Georgia's young Johnny
Griffith. Not only was he absent from his SEC debut, due to an emer­gency
appendectomy, but also his red letter day turned out to be more
crimson (like Tide). One consolation, however, no one can tell him he
should have stayed in bed!
Griffith's charges have a long hard season ahead of them and un­less
I miss my guess, it will be filled with disappointments.
Questions To Answer—
While the other teams around the country were playing before
the cheering multitudes, Coach Ralph Jordan's Auburn Tigers were
having a make believe game with the Volunteers of Tennessee before
a handful of selected spectators.
Jordan had some questions to answer. Questions like—
Who will start at quarterback next Saturday—Bobby Hunt or
Mailon Kent?
Can George Rose shake loose with some of the brilliant running
he is known to be capable of?
Will it be Don Machen, Bobby Lee, or Bo Davis opening at right
half?
How accurate is Woody Woodall at kicking field goals and extra
points?
How well is Larry Rawson developing?
In the Big Blue's 48-13 conquest of "Tennessee," the top Tiger
found some answers.
The Rose question was surely answered. Considered the fastest
runner on this campus in many years, the 185-pound sophomore
turned in the two longest runs of his young Auburn career. One was
a 31-yard sprint up the middle and the other a spectacular 82-yard
ramble for the varsity's seventh tally of the afternoon.
Woodall answered the place kicking question by making good all
but one of the extra points, sometimes kicking them from as far away
as the 40 yard line.
Hunt vs. Kent—
Neither Kent nor Hunt looked outstanding in the first half of the
battle fought behind locked gates. As a matter of fact, the freshmen
were shoving the oval shaped pigskin down their throats. Hunt in par­ticular
had a rough time.
Toward the end of the game, however, Kent began to zero in on
the targets and racked up some good yardage.
Even though the results of Saturday might lean toward Kent, this
is no time to count Hunt out. He'll be in there trying his best to cap­ture
the number one spot and his best just might be good enough.
If Coach Jordan has his mind made up, he was giving no indica­tion
of it Saturday.
Incidentally both boys had added initiative to try extra hard Sat­urday.
A very proud Mr. Hunt sat in the hot sunshine of the after­noon
and watched his son Robert.
And not 50 feet away, a pert little blond beauty, who holds the
honor of being the fourth alternate in the Miss USA contest, watched
intently the progress of the one man in her life as he methodically
tossed passes to Richard Guthrie, Bobby Foret, and Dave Edwards.
Rawson, the most effective runner on the field Saturday, gave
Jordan a solid answer to the question of his readiness. Once he went
35 yards for a TD on a beautiful change of pace gallop.
Most Optimistic—
After the game, the Tiger mentor was talking. "It's always rough
playing the Vols in their own back yard," stated Jordan. He also spoke
of the optimism of Bowden Wyatt and thought it a bad sign because
Wyatt's usually pessimistic even with a good team.
Fred Russell, long-time Sports Editor of the Nashville Banner,
Saturday Evening Post, and an expert on Volunteer topics, bears
Jordan out on this and even goes him one better in saying that this
Vol squad is the most optimistic one he's ever seen in Knoxville.
This extra week's practice grace might come in very handy
when the Tigers invade Shields-Watkins field next Saturday.

ANOTHER RAWSON
Larry Rawson
AUBURN FANS MIGHT SEE SOPH
IN STARTING ROLE AT FULLBACK
BY BOB MAYFIELD
For the first time in" many a
year Auburn fans and students
will see a sophomore at the start­ing
fullback position. This young
athlete's name is Larry Rawson.
Larry, an outstanding athlete for
three years at Pensacola High
School, was being sought by such
schools as Georgia Tech, Ala­bama,
Florida, Miami, Navy and
many others when he signed his
grant-in-aid scholarship with Au­burn
on December 7, 1959. Last
year, on the freshman squad, Lar­ry
did an outstanding job crash­ing
through the line for. long
gains-.
Larry, a sophomore in Electri­cal
Engineering, said that he
thinks the Auburn team looks
very good and that the spirit of
the team is very high. He is look­ing
forward to his first varsity
game against Tennessee in Knox­ville
this Saturday and said, "I
hope I can do the job justice since
I'm stepping into the shoes of
such great fullbacks as Joe
Childress, Billy Atkins and Ed
Dyas."
To Coaches Buck Bradberrv
and Hal Herring, this seems to
be no problem. Coach Bradberry
said, "Larry is much more de­veloped
than sophomore full­backs
that we have had in the
past, but he still has some dis­tance
to go to match some of our
great fullbacks. However, Larry
has the potential of being one
of the best in Auzurn's history.
Although Larry will be hand­ling
only the - offensice chores
with Co-captain John McGeever
doing the defensive work, Coach
Herring said, "Larry is a good
defensice line-backer because of
his speed, quickness, and tackling
ability."
Larry is not the first or last of
his family to wear an Auburn
jersey on the Plains. He follows
his older brother, Lamar, a fine
half-back on the '57, '58, and '59
teams, and precedes his younger
brother, David, who is a fullback
on this year's freshman squad.
The Rawson family of Pensa­cola
has reason to be proud of
their sons, for they are all good
students, and Auburn fans will be
looking forward to seeing Larry
as a member of another great
Auburn team.
STELLAR left-halfback Jimmy Burson after missing more
than a week of practice will probably see plenty of action against
Tennessee Saturday, but he is not expected to be at full strength.

Get Those Tickets Today
By DOYLE JONES
Plainsman Sports Writer
Once again Auburn fans are
supporting the Auburn Tigers by
purchasing tickets for this Fall's
games. The Tech and Alabama
games are sold out already and
large crowds are expected for
many of the other games.
This Saturday some 7000 Tiger
fans will attend the Tennessee
game at Knoxville, 300 of these
being students. Following the
opener with the Vols, the Tigers
play Kentucky and Chattanooga
the next two weeks in Auburn,
with 35,000 and 20,000 fans ex­pected,
respectively.
' After the Tech game in Atlanta,
the Plainsmen take on Clemson
in the homecoming game where
38,000 are anticipated. Some 20,-
000 fans are expected the follow­ing
week for Wake Forest.
The. Tigers then begin the
stretch drive of the season w i th
four SEC games. Miss. State meets
the Tigers in Birmingham where
40,000 will watch. In Athens, Ga.,
the next week 45,000 are predicted
to watch Georgia and Auburn.
The Florida Gators meet Au­burn
here in the next to last
game. Plenty of tickets are avail­able
now, but the game may
eventually be a sellout. The sea­son's
climax comes with 53,000
fans in Birmingham for the an­nual
Alabama game.
Tickets, of course, may still be
purchased for the five home and
two Birmingham games today

Foret and Downs are more
than adequate, but their injuries
may weaken the end play some­what.
Foret played in last Satur­day's
game scrimmage, but Downs
and number three right end Den­nis
McDuffie didn't. Foret and
Edwards will probably see a great
deal of action in Knoxville.
Billy Wilson and Dave Wood­ward
will hold down the tackle
positions and other definite start­ers
for the Tigers are center
Wayne F.razier and guards Jimmy
Putman and Jerry Gulledge.
THE BACKFIELD is a bit hazy
all around. Bobby Hunt appears
to have the edge on Mailon Kent
at quarterback, but Kent, after his
excellent spring and his fine show­ing
thus far this fall may win a
starting berth.
Jimmy Burson would be a cinch
for the left-halfback slot if he
were healthy, but his eye injury
in a recent practice session may
mean that John McGeever will
man that position. McGeever is a
demon on defense and is the utili­ty
man in the backfield.
Don Machen has recovered
markedly from his knee operation
and ran well in Saturday's game
scrimmage; however, because of
his layoff, he is not in the best
of shape and brilliant sophomore
George Rose may be tried at the
right-halfback post.

George Gross
Gross Excels In More Than One Sport,
Moves Up In Tiger Football Picture
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Plainsman Sports Writer
Few college athletes can excel
in more than one sport. George
Gross plays three sports for the
Auburn Tigers and he plays them
well.
In football the big, good-natured
Elizabeth, N. J. native is currently
running at tackle with the second
unit and is improving every day.
For the last two years Gross has
won the heavyweight wrestling
championship at the annual South­eastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling
Association tournament.
In track George continually
places in the shot put, discus and
javelin events.
Gross, after coming to this coun­try
11 years ago from Germany,
played, only two years of high
school football in Elizabeth, but
the Auburn scouts were favorably
impressed by his potential arid
thus'began the career of George
Gross at Auburn.

two weeks ago. Gross is expected
to see a lot of action this fall and
is counting on to spell first-team
right tackle Dave Woodward. His
speed and agility, despite his size
make him an outstanding lineman.
Nicknamed "Bobo" by his team­mates,
Gross is probably the stron­gest
man on the squad. But Gross'
easy going manner makes him very
popular with his teammates.
"The only way to describe
George," according to Coach Gene
Lorendo, "is that he is a big, mild,
easy-going, very likable kid. I
don't believe he has ever been
mad in his'life."
Gross said that he is very hap­py
here at Auburn and very mod­estly
added that he hopes he can
help the Tigers during the upcom­ing
football season. And according
to the coaching staff, he will do
just that.
Staff Openings
The Plainsman sports staff for
this quarter has several openings
for students interested in working
on the paper. More writers are
needed, but previous experience
in sports writing is necessary.
However, positions are still vacant
for students willing to work at
copyreading, headline writing,
proofreading or some related ca­pacity.
The work is interesting and the
hours unique. Interested students
should contact either John Wallace
at TU 7-7006 or Charles McCay
at TU 7-2259.
The trouble with resisting temp­tation
is that it may never come
again.
Four TD's vs. Auburn—

Assistant Coach Kinard
Roberts, Kinard To Enrich Tiger Squad
With Added Experience And Knowhow
BY DAVE WALL
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn coaching staff has
been blessed recently with the ad­dition
of a pair of fine young
coaches, whose experience and
knowhow should greatly enrich
the success of future Tiger elev­ens.
Assistant Coach J. D. Roberts,
formerly of the Naval Academy,
and Assistant Coach Billy Kinard
from the University of Mississippi
have added their names to the
roster of fine football tutors at
AU.
Roberts joined the staff in
March of 1961, before spring
practice, as offensive line coach.
Born in Oklahoma City, October
24, 1932, he attended high school
in Dallas, Texas, and later became
a three-year standout guard for
Oklahoma. In his senior year, Ro­berts
was named to every all-
America team and received the
Outland Award as the best in­terior
lineman in the country.
After a year of professional ball
with Hamilton of the Canadian
League, J. D. returned to Okla­homa
as a student assistant to Bud
Wilkinson in 1955, and earned his
B. S. degree in education.
Uncle Sam called in June of '55,
and Roberts reported to Quantico
for Marine training, played guard
and captained the Quantico Ma­rine
team. He was line coach at
Quantico in 1956 and upon leaving
the service, was hired as • line
coach at Denver. The '58 and '59
seasons were spent with Oklaho­ma.
Coach Kinard, the newest mem­ber
of the Auburn coaching staff,
joined the Tigers in April of 1961
after several years of stand-out
professional football. Born in
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 6, 1933, Billy
played high school ball in that city
and later spent three seasons as
the first-string right halfback at
Ole Miss. He starred on three bowl
teams and led the Rebels to a 14-
13 win over TCU in the 1956 Cot­ton
Bowl game—Mississippi's first
major bowl victory.
Kinard is one of five brothers—
Earnest, Henry, George and Frank
(Bruiser)—who form Mississippi's

SEC Wrap-Up
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Plainsman Sports Writer
Ole Miss and Alabama, nation­ally
ranked in pre-season polls
and considered to be leading con­tenders
for the Southeastern Con­ference
championship, posted im­pressive
victories as the 1961
football season got into full swing
around the nation Saturday.
Coach Johnny Vaught's power­ful
Ole Miss Rebels, who have
lost only one game in the last two
years, blanked Arkansas 16-0.
Led by Doug Elmore, 187-pound
senior signal-caller from Reform,
Ala., the Rebels combined two
touchdowns and a field goal to
down the defending Southwest
Conference Champions.
The Alabama Crimson Tide put
on an offensive show in Georgia's
Sanford stadium to go along with
their already highly touted de­fense
to crush the Bulldogs 32-6.
Tide halfback Mike Fracchia
scored two touchdowns to lead
the offensive efforts for the Tide.
The Bayou Bengals of Louis­iana
State University, another
team to receive national ranking
in pre-season polls, were held to
one first down and a net offense
of 30 yards in the first half as
the Rice Owls spoiled the Ben­gals
opener by rocking Coach
Paul Pretzel's crew 16-3.
Georgia Tech let it be known
Friday night that they won't be
counted out of SEC contention as
Coach Bobby Dodd's Yellow Jac­kets
pounded west coast rival
Southern Cal by a score of 27-7.
In other games Miami beat
Kentucky 14-7; Florida over
C l e m s o n 21-7; Miss. S t a te
blanked Texas Tech 6r0; and Tu-lane
lost to Stanford 9-6.
Next Saturday Auburn and
Tennessee open their seasons as

square off in Knoxville. Kickoff
time is set for 2 p.m.

QUICK, AGGRESSIVE FROSH TEAM
COULD BE BEST IN AU HISTORY
BY DAVE WALL
Plainsman Sports Writer
The 1961 Auburn Freshman football squad is loaded with
talent and should be one of the best in Tiger history. With
"one of the fastest freshman backfields in a long time," the
Tiger frosh, according to Coach Vince Dooley, will have a well
balanced attack and possibly produce some new super-start
for the varsity.
The amazing backfield contains
two high school all-Americans and
one honorable mention who is
now playing on the second unit.
At quarterback will be Jimmy
Sidle from Banks High School in
Birmingham where he was j u s t
about all-everything. The speedy
6-2, 185-pounder gained 1,000
yards in both his junior and senior
years.
The halfbacks will be Mickey
Sutton, a 180-pound speedster
from Mobile and Tucker Frede-rickson,
from Hollywood, Florida.
Frederickson, perhaps the nation's
most publicized high school star
last year, is,6-3, 207 pounds and
possesses termendous speed and
power. Originally a. fullback, he
will probably start at the left-halfback
spot.
Rounding out the backfield is
the 6 ft., 195-pound David Raw-son
at fullback. Dave is the third
Rawson to play for Auburn. His
brothers are, of course, Larry, first
team fullback for the varsity this
year, and Lamar, a former great
Tiger halfback.
Another back who will see plen­ty
of action for the frosh this year
is halfback Doc Griffith. The 181-
pounder from Hokes Bluff gained
over 2,000 yards his senior year
in high school.
Don Heller, 6-1, 2 0 5 - p o u nd
tackle from Cleveland, Ohio, is
designated by Coach Dooley as the
outstanding lineman in practice
thus far. He also lauded ends Ron­nie
Baynes and Jim Speagle,
guards Mickey Ryland and J o h n
McAfee, Center Al Spence, and
tackle Alan Bohlert, for outstand­ing
performances in drills and
scrimmages against the varsity.
Thus far, the Tiger freshmen
have been using largely in de-fencing
the attack of the varsity
in practice and doing a most r e ­spectable
job at that. "In fact,"
says Dooley, "these boys have held
the varsity longer than any fresh­man
team I have seen."
Two weeks of. hard work are
coming up for the team prior, to
their opening game with Georgia,
Oct. 6 in Athens. Georgia also has
a fine freshman team and shoulc
be a .real test for the Tigers.
