Women's Regulations Draw Varied Complaints
By BENNIE SUE CURTIS
(Third in a Series)
Complaints voiced by Auburn coeds concerning the rules and
regulations governing their wearing apparel, dormitories, and the din­ing
hall are many and varied.
Some come from the tedium of constantly being reminded of
courtesies learned long ago. Some are from girls who resent such
rigid control over wearing apparel and participation in social func­tions.
Other complaints, perhaps the most frequently heard, concern
the dining hall.
Many of these complaints are not without foundation, for the maze
of rules and the penalties for infractions are not only tedious to learn
but trying to follow. For example, permissions (times when girls are
required to be inside the dormitory) are varied and somewhat stifling.
* * * *
PERMISSIONS are determined by two rules: (1) the girl's year
and quarter of residence in the dormitories and (2) her scholastic
record for the previous quarter. Each year girls are given later per­missions
if their scholastic average is at least 1.0. Hours are extended
for those who earn a 2.0 average the preceding quarter. •
But those unfortunates who do not make their grades revert back
to freshman or sophomore privileges depending on their length of
residence. Irt this way a senior girl may be forced to sign into the
dorm by 9:15 on week nights. Certainly if a student has not learned
to divide her time between studies and social activities by her senior
year it can only be beeause she is not a serious student.
Being confined to her dormitory at an early hour will not make
her study, for there are temptations to play cards and chat with others.
* * * *
RULES CONCERNING appropriate dress for most occasions are
outlined in the Co-etiquette handbook which is a. somewhat ambi­guous
list of do's and dont's for Auburn coeds. Included in the rules
are the restrictions on what may be worn to the dining hall.
There is a lack of uniformity in these rules and the penalties for
breaking them are unduly severe. For instance, if. a girl dresses in
slacks for a meal on a day when this is not allowed she must be res­tricted
to her room on a Friday night from 7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. She is
allowed no visitors or telephone calls during that time..
Some students' also begrudge the time spent in convocations. For
some the hour or two a quarter means less time to play cards and
chat. For others it means staying up an extra amount of time to study
for a quiz. Because of these things the convocations do not achieve
their purpose of promoting unity among the women students but
rather raise antagonism against the WSGA.
Some of these convocations are necessary, but in many instances
they come at awkward times.
EVEN THE scope of these rules fails to make all coeds conform
to the designed pattern of. behavior. Perhaps this fails because some
students knew fewer restrictions in their pre-college days and hence
tend to rebel against outside authority. Some break the rules acci­dentally
and are not sorry for the infraction but rather bemoan the
fact that they were caught and penalized.
Coeds who are regularly limited in the amount of decisions they
may make on their own may well find themselves at a definite dis­advantage
upon graduation and entrance into a world of comparative
freedom. For this reason girls should be given more opportunities to
make their own decisions now.
Lack of variety and appeal in the meals served in the dining hall
is a constant source of. complaint. Toast that must be prepared the
night before and warmed for breakfast is a source of irritation to
many. Another dislike is the effect of repeatedly serving the same
dishes.
* * * *
A MEAL that one girl enjoys is often distasteful to others and
some are considered inedible by a large group of coeds. One resource
of action that could be taken is a poll similar to the one circulated
two years ago. But instead of asking if the meals are good, fair, etc.,
the poll should inquire as to which foods are the least desirable. Those
that receive the most unfavorable comments could be eliminated and
more popular menus substituted.
Almost all realize that the dining hall has a budget to keep. Also
it is agreed that the meals are nutritious and well-balanced. The only
solution yet suggested is the independent ownership of the dining hall
by an outside company.
With a dining hall under private ownership the girls could be
required only to pay their dormitory fees. Then they could be given
the option of buying a meal ticket with this establishment or eating
on a pay-as-you-go basis. This would give coeds a chance to eat
meals "out."
Such a business would have a more extensive budget and would
be able to provide a wider variety of foods at each meal. Also each
dish could be prepared in smaller quantities and be made more ap­petizing,
j
It is often only natural for people to complain about conditions
whether they be trivial or international in scope. But very often these
complaints are made and no one exerts any energy to see if the prob­lems
can be alleviated.
Those who wish to see a rule changed should determine the
opinions of others on the subject. If the general concensus of the group
is in favor of a change this should be proposed to the W.S.G.A.
Pressure from the group as a whole should be sufficient to effect
the desired change.

CUSS CHEATERS TO BE DROPPED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEW RULE
By GENE DRIVER and ANITA GRIFFITH
Within the last year a series of articles on cheating have
appeared in this paper and other news media of the Univer­sity.
Also, in the spring quarter Mortar Board presented to
the faculty and the administration a report outlining its
awareness and concern of student participation in academic
dishonesty.
Recognizing these concerns and
a need to rectify any unaccept­able
standards, two Univeisity
committees have been establish­ed
to study into the problem and
to make timely recommendations
—a committee appointed by the
faculty council and a committee
appointed by the Council of
Deans. The iaculty council com­mittee
study is proceeding and
appropriate student groups will
be contacted from time to time
as the study develops. These two
committees are working concur­rently
but treating diirerent as­pects
of the problem. The Coun­cil
of Deans' committee—whose
members have been taken from
the iaculty, administration, and
student body—feeling the need
for taking an initial step for the
good of tne students, and in fair­ness
to instructors, submitted the
below recommendations to the
Council for its approval. This r e ­commendation
is intended as an
interim measure to improve ex­isting
conditions until further
study can point out student and
faculty academic attitudes, at
which time a more permanent
solution shall evolve. The fol­lowing
is a statement of the new
rule which disciplines cases of
academic dishonesty.
» * «
WHEN AN instructor deter­mines
that a student has cheated,
lie should immediately advise the
student that he is being dropped
Irom the course with a grade of
zero which will be placed on his
permanent record with the proper
notation thereon. The instructor
will give written notice of his
action to his department head, his
dean, and to the student. Appeal
of the action may be made within
three academic days to the in­structor's
Dean. .

THE DEBATE will be carried
on by Carol Price and Frances
Dudley taking the affirmative
side, with Homer Fisher and
Billie Joe McDonald debating the
negative view. Presiding will be
Joe Tuggle, president of the Au­burn
Debate Council.
The school has had a debate
team for the past 10 years, but
in the past the group has not
been too active. This year, and in
particular in the past few quart­ers,
the team has begun to make
a name for itself.
"The debate team now num­bers
15," according to Rea, and
we have 15 others taking Basic
Argumentation and Debate (SP

the 15 in the team are from the
fall debate class.

TIGER debators returned last
Friday from a tournament at

they split even (5-5) in their first
attempt at varsity competition
against some 14 other southern

In the tournament Xuggle and
Jerome Strickland argued nega­tive
and won three and lost two,
while Miss Price and Miss Dud­ley
argued the .affirmative and
won two, and lc/iing three.
AUBURN ACTORS
EXPERIMENT IN
AD-LIB THEATER
An experiment in ad-lib theat­er
in the Commedia del Arte
tradition, Auburn Presents, Jan.
26 program will evolve around
three separate plots presented to
a cast who will then proceed to
ad-lib these situations to a satis­factory
conclusion. j ; '.J,~ .^
A character named Broad-shoulders,
a newspaper columnist
who answers letters concerning
domestic problems, is the central
character in all three situations.
The comedy angle is heightened
by the contrast between the men­tal
image Broadshoulders receives
from the letters and the actual
persons presented in dramtic
form.
The second portion of Auburn
Presents will be a science-fiction
drama by Henry Kuettner, and
adapted for television by Odell
Skinner. The story is pure science
fiction with an overtone of satire
on present-day society. The cast
is Dr. Buck Ranney and Dr. Wil­liam
Smith, both of the Auburn
University speech department.
Auburn Presents may be view­ed
on channel 2, 7 or 10 each
Thursday at 8 p.m.

THE APPEARANCE of Miss Joni James, "America's Most
Loved Singer," will climax the activities of Auburn's 1961
Greek Week. Other features of the week set aside for em­phasizing
and clarifying the position of Greek social frater­nities
and sororities, will range from painting the Auburn
City Council room to discussing
fraternal life in panel groups.
Appearing with Miss James
will be the Auburn Knights Or­chestra,
which, in addition to ac­companying
the singer, will also
play for the dance. Another high­light
of the evening will be the
presentation of Greek Goddess
candidates and the announcement
of the 1961 Greek'Goddess. -
: Auburn is most fortunate in ac­quiring
the services of Miss
James. Some still remember her
fbr her successful appearance
here in 1958. Since her first re­cord,
"Why" Don't You Believe
Me?", (which sold over a million
copies) in 1952, the young and
talented singer has sold well over
forty million records on the MGM
label. At one time, she had three
records in the top 10, and has re­ceived,
to date, -eight golden re­cords.
Currently, she is riding
high with "Be My Love."
Joni James* list of personal ap­pearances
includes practically
every major club, ballroom, and
concert hall in the country; a
road which has seen her at the holding forth*
Palladium in London and at a
standing-room-only performance
at Carnegie Hall in New York.
She has been a frequent guest on
the TV shows of Ed Sullivan and
Perry Como.

ACCORDING to IFC President
Lin Monroe and Greek Week
• Chairman Ed James, preparations
are now complete for a smooth,
and successful Greek Week. In
addition to this year's service
project, painting the City Council
room, Greek Week will offer sev­eral
innovations. One such is the
discontinuation of meal-swaps in
favor of fraternity banquets for
sorority members on Monday
night. Other highlights will be
the Panhellenic-IFC banquet on
Wednesday, and parties in the
sorority rooms for fraternity men
on Tuesday.
Final event of the week will be
the dance Saturday night at the
Student Activities Building, from
8 until 12 midnight, with Joni

'Les Miserables'
Free Flick At Union
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
will be shown as the next fea­ture
movie of the Auburn Union's
free movie series. The film stars
Frederic March, Charles Laugh-ton,
and Sir Cedric Hardwicke
and was chosen as one of the "10
Best,*' of the year by the National
Board of Review.
The story involves the perse­cuted
fugitive Jean Valjean and
his rise from a tortured galley
slave to a prosperous merchant,
and final tragedy.. A panorama
of social injustice and legal in­humanity
in early 19th-century
France unfolds as the embittered
Valjean is hunted by the unmer­ciful
police inspector Javert play­ed
by Charles Laughton.
THIS FILM should be of spe­cial
interest to English and His­tory
students and professors.
The first showing will be Sun­day
afternoon at 2:30 in the Un­ion
Ballroom.

Meet New Mascot, 'War Eagle IV
Golden Eagle Found Near Talladega
Soon To Train For Mascot Duty
By DON PHILLIPS
Plainsman F e a t u r e Writer
SOMEWHERE in t h e Rocky Mountains last spring, a Gol­den
Eagle saw the light of day for t h e first time. He looked
around, decided he didn't like the mountain country, and
headed for t h e rolling plains of Alabama. Little did he know
t h a t he was destined to become War Eagle II, A u b u r n ' s first
official mascot since War Eagle I
gave one last mighty shriek and
toppled dead to the ground as
Auburn won its first football
game, in 1892.
War Eagle II was first seen
November 10 ,in a cotton field
near Curry Station, Alabama, six
miles from Talladega, and about
12 miles from Cheha Mountain.
He had come down from the
mountains, probably after food,
and was trapped between two
rows of cotton so that he couldn't
spread his wings to fly. Some Ne­gro
cotton pickers saw the eagle
but were afraid to get near
enough to capture him, so one of
them went after a shotgun. Luck­ily
he wasn't a good shot, for he
only winged the great bird.
Next day, November 11, Car­son
Whitson, Talladega post­master,
and some of his hands
were working horses on Whit-son's
farm, also at Curry Station.
As Whitson and one of his work­ers
were driving along in a pick­up
truck they noticed a distur­bance
among some cattle. Closer
investigation revealed what ap­peared
to be an owl or a vulture
crouched on the ground, but they
suddenly realized that it was an
eagle. With a spirit worthy of
Auburn, the big eagle never gave
up. Although he couldn't fly, as
the men approached he snapped
at them and started running. But
they managed to head him off in
the truck and pinned his head to
the ground with a pitch fork.
together. They then took the
eagle to a chicken coop where
he stayed for the next few days.
• * *
NEXT SUNDAY Whitson told
Talladega County Agent, O. V.
Hill, about his dilemma. (At that
time the eagle was eating a
chicken a day.) Hill, who owns
Selwood Turkey Farm in Talla­dega,
was planning to send a load
of Thanksgiving turkeys to Au­burn
that week and offered to
give the eagle a ride down. That
night Hill called his son Dell,
an Auburn student, and asked
him to contact school authori­ties
to see if Auburn could use an
eagle. Naturally they were very
receptive to the idea.
So it was that on Tuesday, Nov.
15, War Eagle II got his first view
of Auburn. He was first taken to
the ATO house where he refused
a cold chicken leg, but made fast
work of a live chicken. Later that
afternoon Dr. Morris Baker, head
of the wildlife department, took
him to the department's animal
pens.
-Dr. Baker's r e s e a r c h has
brought to life some interesting
facts about War Eagle II. He is
not a Bald Eagle as was first
Fisheries Authority On Foreign Tour
- Auburn's fisheries authority, Dr. H. S. Swingle, is on an­other
foreign assignment—this time to India—to share his
know-how in fish culture.
Dr. Swingle, fish culturist of the Auburn Agricultural
Experiment Station, is one of two world-wide authorities on

accomplishments and plan work
for the next five-year period. Dr.
Swingle will work directly with
Dr. N. K. Panikkar, fisheries re­search
development officer for
the Indian Government
Although fish is thought of
mainly for recreation in the
United States, it is an important
food item in countries like India.
In some regions of India, fish
makes up the major source of
animal protein in the diet. Be­cause
of this, the Indian Govern­ment
is trying to expand fisher­ies
work to provide better diets.
Already there are large numbers
of ponds and many fisheries re­search
stations.
BECAUSE OF his pioneering
research in fish culture beginning
in 1934, Dr. Swingle has received
world-wide recognition as an au­thority
on fresh water fisheries.
In 1952 he was awarded the first
Conservation Award presented
by the U.S. Department of the
Interior and has served as presi­dent
of 'the American Fisheries
Society, an organization of U.S.
and Canadian fisheries workers.-
He took part in the Eighth Paci­fic
Science Congress at the Uni­versity
of the Philippines in 1953,
the only fresh water fish cultur­ist
among 55 American scientists
attending.
This is not the first time that
Dr. Swingle has been called on to
aid foreign countries. In 1957 he
consulted with researchers in In­dia,
presented two papers at the
Ninth Pacific Science Congress in
Bangkok, Thailand, and assisted
Thailand researchers in estab­lishing
new fisheries, projects.
supposed, but a Golden Eagle.
The Golden Eagle breeds only in
the Rocky Mountains, but almost
every winter a few make it to
Alabama. Only two others have
been reported this year. It is very
fitting that War Eagle II be a
Golden Eagle, for the western
Indiana gave the breed the name
"war eagle" because they pre­ferred
its feathers for their war
bonnets.
» « «
AT LAST REPORT War Eagle
II was doing very well. His wing
is completely healed and he is
flying around inside his cage. He
is a little more tame than he was
when first captured, but it is still
a good idea not to get too close
to the cage. When he is full
grown he will have dark brown
feathers with a purple gloss, a
brownish-yellow head and neck,
(thus the name, Golden Eagle)
and bright yellow beak and claws.
Right now he has quite a bit of
white at the tips of his feathers.
According to James E. Foy,
Dean of Student Affairs, War
Eagle H's future remains uncer­tain.
General plans are to keep
him as official mascot and' to
carry him to all pep rallies, par­ades,
and football games. Alpha
Phi Omega, national service frat­ernity,
has under consideration
a plan to build a portable cage
and trailer, but nothing definite
has been decided.
The suggestion has been offer­ed,
under care of an experienced
trainer, the eagle could be do­mesticated
and taught to strike a
lure—that is, to fly from his
trainer's shoulder and to attack
some object. What a sight it
would be for instance, at the
Georgia Tech game to see the
"war eagle" come screaming
down on a large yellow-jacket
being whirled through the air,
and rip it to pieces in mid-air.
Of course the eagle would be at­tached
to his trainer by a long
nylon string. Dr. Baker says that
since the eagle is so young that
it would be very possible to train
him. All that is needed now is an.
experienced trainer.
Perhaps some day soon Auburn
will see the great "war eagle" fly
again. Indeed War Eagle II is
detined to become a great part of
the spirit which.he synjbqliz.es.

BY CARL PETH
A coed currently attending
school here can claim participa­tion,
in one of the most unusual
part-time jobs for a female in the
entire nation.
Carolyn Berry, a 22-year-old
senior, majoring in interior de­corating,
is one of possibly 10 fe­male'
movie projectionists in the
United States.
Carolyn, who hails from Bir­mingham,
first began working in
a theater in Birminghaih, where
she worked as a candy sales girl
at the Alabama Theater. In Au­burn
she worked as cashier at the
Tiger Theater before she learned
to work the projectors. She has
been the theater's projectionist
for the past three quarters and
plans to remain in the unusual
job until she graduates.
"I don't think its out of the
ordinary," Carolyn commented
about her job, "I enjoy it."
She added that she finds the
work interesting and that she en­joys
watching audience reactions
to the . different scenes on the
screen. Her biggest "gripe" is
when people start yelling and
whistling whenever the movie is
"even just one minute late," or
when something goes wrong dur­ing
the showing of the film.
However, according to the man­agement,
Carolyn does a "good
job" of working the projectors,
and it is rare when she is on duty
and something goes wrong.

A Pleasant Surprise . . .
WE WERE pleasantly surprised last week
with the announcement of Robert C. An­derson's
appointment to the position of Ex­ecutive
Vice-President of Auburn Univer­sity.
As director of the Southern Regional
Education Board these past three years,
and participant in various educational con­sulting
groups and councils, the 39-year-old
Dr. Anderson quickly achieved the re­putation
of a renowned Southern educa­tor.
We envision Dr. Anderson as a new dy­namic
force on Auburn University's admin­istrative
team. Judging from his very im­pressive
record botn as a student and edu­cator,
we look forward to finding in him
the energy, optimism, and foresight that
is characteristic of Auburn's fast-approach­ing
future.
Why We're 'Skinny'.. \ _
TODAY'S six page Plainsman affords us
just half the space we deem necessary to
cover a week here as it should be covered.
Advertising, of course, is the key to a
newspaper's size. But as its , relation is
hinged to the business cycle, downward
trends in the economy must curb our am­bitions
for a bigger Plainsman.
With our national advertising contracts
this quarter only two-thirds their bulk of
last winter, we have no choice but to cut
down to a temporary (we would hope) six
page standard.
As before, we will be fair in publicizing
the various organizations, clubs, other
groups, and outstanding or colorful per­sonalities
on campus. But with the advent
of this "skinny" Plainsman, we ask all who
request publicity to keep in mind that,
should their important story or picture fail
to appear, it is only because we now have
problems too.
The Insecticide... ^
AN INSECTICIDE guaranteed to wipe out
those legions of the vile parasite has
been developed.
The first finite action we have viewed in
regards to crushing cheating practices at
Auburn made its welcomed advent l a st
week in form of a Council of Deans reso­lution
vesting power in individual instruc­tors
to drop from their courses with grade
of zero students the instructor as judge,
thinks are cheating.
Present procedure when an instructor
detects classroom dishonesty is to refer the
case to the Dean of Student Affairs, who
would then weigh the facts and ascertain
whether or not the case merits investiga­tion
by the Disciplinary Committee. In­structors
have long complained that cases
in which they are sure they have caught
students in the act are often lost in the ad­ministrative
shuffle.
We agree with the instructor's view­point.
No one is in such good position as
he to effectively determine whether or not
a student has cribbed.
With red tape eliminated, this new rul­ing
should arm Auburn's anti-cheating
movement with the powerful kick it just
hasn't held in reserve before!
To Fill The Void... |
IT WOULD be virtuous that the people of
this nation stand in such violent oppo­sition
to the communist idea were those
people THOROUGHLY VERSED in w h a t
they stand against.
Truth is that our government and na­tional
literature profess a strong anti-com­munist
line that grasps the emotions of
normal Americans before they take time
to view the argument with objectivity. The
product of course is good, the means to
that product not so worthy.
In interest of filling the layman's great
void of understanding regarding the socia­listic
and communisiic threat. Producer-
Director Jack Venable of Auburn Educa­tional
Television has come up with the
peach of a proposal. Venable feels that it
would be feasible to schedule on the Ala­bama
Educational Television Network a
series featuring Auburn's Dr. Raymond W.
Ritland in 13 weekly telecasts which would
outline Dr. Ritland s popular and meaning­ful
course, "Comparative Economic Sys­tems."
i
As taught here presently, this course
outlines objectively the basic tenets of capi­talism,
Marxism, socialism, British socia­lism,
pure communism, and Soviet state so­cialism.
Comparison of systems is the stu­dent's
own to make as he employs those
facts he has learned from following Dr.
Ritland's non-biased lectures.
In pursuing his cause, Venable says, "The
material in this course is of such essence
today that it should gain considerable view­er
interest rather easily. Dr. Ritland's pres­entation
is dynamic and full of color. Com­bine
these factors and we have something
of a potential giant!"
Dr. Ritland, after being confronted by
the proposal, expressed to Venable a keen
interest in the expansion of comparative
analysis of economic systems to television.
Dr. Charles Anson, head of the Economics
Department, told this newspaper, "This is
a tremendously important subject, and it
would be a fine thing to expand to more
Alabamians this initiation to the realities
of what we face today and will continue to
face tomorrow. If it is at all feasible to
arrange the series as proposed, this De­partment
would stand in approval."
Venable proposes the series start this
summer when commercial television would
be at its off-season and there would re-sultingly
be more viewer tendency to tune
in on Dr. Ritland's lectures.
By utilizing pertinent material and ex­cellent
non-biased instruction, Auburn
stands now in position to raise this state's
intellectual level in regards to a vital pro­blem.
We trust those who have authority
to bring this thing into being will not hesi­tate.
v ^
It Was Inevitable . . . ^ *
MONDAY NIGHT an anemic audience of
115 turned out for a spectacular concert
featuring Ralph Marterie and his famous
Marlboro Orchestra.
For sponsor ODK it was a major blow
to the organization's coffers. In meeting
Marterie's guarantee, over $600 was lost
from the gate deficiencies. To Auburn it
probably means that there will be no more
big name entertainment on campus after
Joni James' performance at next weekend's
Greek Week Dance.
It is with mixed emotions that we criti­cize
ODK's decision to sponsor Monday's
concert. Marterie's sparkling reputation
and his moderate week-night guarantee
certainly stood as cogent reasons for sche­duling
his outfit. It is difficult to negotiate
at reasonable terms with such big name
'entertainment as Marterie, and this with­out
doubt presented the organization an
opportunity to serve Auburn well through
bringing high caliber, low-cost entertain­ment
to the Plain. But with only a week
and a half's notice from Marterie's agents
concerning his availability Monday, we are
at loss to comprehend how the sponsors
figured they could publicize the concert
adequately. Famous bands have left the
sponsor's kitty barren here before, even
when there was time for extensive publi­city.
This episode was doomed to failure
from the very moment of its conception,
that day a mere week and a half ago,

Auburn Students Lost In Dark World
Not Knowing What Is In And What Is Out
By JOHN WALLACE
THE ABOVE will serve to illustrate that not all Auburn University students are as
informal in attire as was implied by Plainsman columnist Noel Leon last week in his
argument that Auburn males should "dress up" for classes. Students in this Forestry
Department Lab are far out ahead of our columnist. Pictured above from left to right
are Fred Clearman, block setter; Jim Shirley, assistant block setter; Jimmy Greer, log
turner; and James "Slurp" Morton, sawer.

The Pressing Need Of A National Sense Of Moral Purpose ,
Depends On Solution To Realizing Political Parties Problem
By TOBY SAVAGE
THE PRESSING NEED of a na­tional
sense of moral purpose
depends to a large extent on the
solution to the problem of re­aligning
political parties. Ex­pressions
of naivete, concern, cy­nicism,
and apathy have come
from the student's world at Au­burn
as they have been confront­ed
with the confusing maze of
party politics. Some students have
not understood that one may be
a year-in-and-year-out Democrat
or Republican and still be an in­dependent
individual. They have
also been concerned that people
not vote "as their grandfather
did." Others have lashed out at
ambiguous labels; some feel that
the whole mess is not worth their
scarce time and good sense. From
the students over the entire na­tion,
there have not emerged
many remarks of satisfaction
concerning party politics. The
predicament afforded this atti­tude
toward, and misunderstand­ing
of, party politics by the Am­erican
youth has contributed one
of the strong arguments for real­igning
the political parties in or­der
to gain clarity and purpose.
The student in the South can
make a meaningful contribution
to the solution by helping to rid
national politics of the parado­xical
Republican-Dixiecrat al­liance.
Auburn students can be
helpful if the more than 50 per
cent of them who voted Republi­can
in this year's national elec­tion
will act on these convictions
in their future encounters with
local elections. Clarity and pur­pose
must be revealed from the
bottom to the top, for failure to
do so leads only to more ludi­crous
complexities and mysti­cisms.
In order to facilitate an un­derstanding
of why the new line­up
of political parties is needed,
a paraphrase of a report by Ste­phen
K. Bailey will be the sub­ject
of the remainder of this
column and of another column
next week.
An effective relationship of na­tional
political parties to the new
situation of the United States in
the world power struggle affords
the need of some "modest" chan­ges
in the party system. These
changes are now made possible
by conditions in a nation moving
toward a new economic and social
life. The American government
suffers on the world scene from
a lack of sustained political po­wer,
pertinent political, and poli­tical
power representing the na­tional
majority.
These weaknesses are not ne­cessarily
due to the leadership,
but to the parties' structural han­dicaps
which do not allow them
to work as vigorously in Senate
and House campaigns as in Presi­dential
campaigns. This structural
handicap is due to the inability to
see the "natural party distinc­tions."
The Democratic Party is
a "pro-government" and "inno­vative"
party, and the Republi­cans
are for "consolidation" and
"limited government." The eco­nomic
and social conservatism of
the South has in recent genera­tions
fuzzied these distinctions.
Coming change in the South may
alleviate this myth.
Spontaneous unity in times of
crisis is no longer a reality, for
we are now in the midst of con­tinuous
world crises. This situa­tion
was even realized by Wood-row
Wilson when, in 1880, he ad­vocated
a "simple, unstinted po­wer,
and clear responsibility."
The party policies do become
discernable for the week of the
national conventions, but return
to the maze of conflicting layers
of organization the other 207
weeks between them. The "pyra­midal"
structure of the parties
rests on "shifting sands" of un-located
power among the "active
membership." Federal policies of
the government motivate the con­federation
of party policies.
During the months of the presi­dential
campaign, the candidates
become the single voice of their
respective parties; i.e., if one does
not run into a conflicting opinion
of the incumbent. If elected, the
President may realistically be
considered the voice of his party.
(There is speculation, though, as
to whether or not President Ken­nedy
will be supported by the en­tire
Democratic party during the
first weeks of his programming).
The party which loses the election
is an ever-more confusing image.
The defeated candidate, congres­sional
leaders, permanent advis­ory
committees, national commit­tee
chairmen, and a host of other
voices, rise in an unharmonious
chorus of mixed-up minds whose
authority depends on their per­sonal
prestige, or on mere coin­cidence.
Does this in any way
reflect "politics of responsible
national power and clear national
purpose?"
The Democratic A d v i s o ry
Council of the Democratic Na­tional
Committee afforded some
help by its pronouncement which
could not be politically ignored,
but it offered no real substantial
base of "out-party" power.
Further complications s t em
from the disorganized party fin­ancing
which is inhibited by its
concern with evading poorly in­stituted
laws of restriction. This
disorganization hinders party aid
to the campaigns of Senators and
Representatives who, after re­ceiving
no aid, feel no compul­sion
toward party policy, but re­spond
to the specific factional in­terests
who did help them. The
parties also are not concerned
with who runs for an office on
the lower organization levels,
just so he is a loyal "Republican"
or "Democrat."
The problem seems like an un-solvable
mystery, and it may well
be. Mr. Bailey offers some ideas
for reform which will be brought
out in the next column, along
with the changing social and eco­nomic
conflicts which will facili­tate
his reforms.
A BOOK recently published by I
forgot who, written by a pair
of similarly forgotten men, but
avidly read by myself and many
other people dealt with the prob­lem
of what is in and what is out.
But it included national topics
and ins and outs common to the
entire nation while not provid­ing
specific help to individuals
such as the Auburn student.
Thus I felt a need for a stu­dent
in and out guide. After
careful research and considera­tion,
I arrived at a list of things
which could be directly applied
to the Auburn student. This is the
latest word on ins and outs in the
loveliest village.
It must first be noted that writ­ing
about ins and outs is out, but
does not necessarily imply that
the writer is out, which incident-ly
he is not, but soon will be.
Skin diving in Ross Square
Pool is out, but ringing the bell
in Samford tower is in.
Attending classes is in on week­days
and Mondays, but out any
other time. Classes in the Temp­orary
Buildings are in, but classes
in Broun are out (except Broun
Auditorium).
Football games are out. Sitting
in Cliff Hare on Sunday morn­ings
after football games is in.
Basketball games are out; base­ball
games are out; cross-country
meets are always in. Track meets
were in, but are now out. Sports
as a whole are out.
Reading government publica­tions
in the library is in. Also in
is reading the Manchester Guard­ian
and German Encyclopedias.
Movies are out. Late shows are
further out. Art movies are so far
out they're in.
Scotch and water is always in.
Vodka is always out. All other
drinks out out, except on Mon­days.
Union Movies are in. The third
floor of the Union has never been
in.

MARTERIE-OMEN???
Does Auburn Want
Top Entertainers!
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
THE VAST EXPANSE of empty
seats glared embarrassingly at
Ralph Marterie and those few
scattered along the front rows
who had assembled to hear his
concert. Unfortunate—yes, but
more than lamentation over this
present dilemma, we should bring
to mind the over-all problem re­lated
to it.
So often, one hears the fam­iliar
complaint, "Why don't we
have big - n a m e entertainment
here at Auburn like they do at
such-and-s u c h-a-college?" Be­fore
answering that question, let
us examine some "concert facts"
from one "such-and-such-a-col-lege,"
the University of Alabama.
Never in need of an experienced,
imaginative sponsoring organiza­tion,
name attractions frequently
stop at the Capstone for a perfor­mance,
each time meeting with
an audience which does justice to
the capacity of 3,000-seat Foster
Auditorium. Ray Coniff, Roger
Williams, Montovani, and Stan
Kenton—to name a few—have
scored recent triumphs there. Oh
yes, another aggregation to fill
Foster recently was one which
brings the point right back home
again—Ralph Marterie and his
very fine orchestra.
Why not be content to have our
two big names per year, one at
the Beauty Ball, and the other at
the IFC Dance (dances most of
us attend anyhow), rather than
insult Auburn and visiting enter­tainers
with a poor showing?
What sort of "enjoyment in­dex"
do we have locally? What
is the correct climate for enter­tainment
here? Should we stay at
home and watch TV, or should we
attempt to fill the Student Acti­vities
Building by offering Ferlin
Husky??
ANOTHER QUESTION . . .
Should Mass Communication Media Mould Public Opinion,
Or Should Newspapers, Magazines And TV Be Only Mirrors?
By JIM BULLINGTON
SHOULD MASS communications
media mould public opinion or
mirror public opinion?
This is one of the most pert­inent
and debated questions of
our time. No one seems to have
found the absolute answer, and
perhaps the problem does not ad­mit
of a real solution.
The newspaper, magazine, tele­vision,
and radio industries are
most directly concerned with this
question. Feeding on modern
technology and economic pro­gress,
they are assuming an ever-increasing
importance in the lives
of all people. Their influence is
great and growing greater, for
good or for bad.
Of course, many of us connect­ed
with one or more of these in­dustries
feel perhaps an exagger­ated
sense of importance at times,
and immediately conclude that
we should do our utmost to mould
the public to our own way of
thinking. This is a natural human
reaction. If we have any opinion
on a subject, we have to believe
our opinion to be the most cor­rect
opinion, or we wouldn't have
it in the first place.
We see many instances of forth­right,
undisguised attempts to in­fluence
public opinion, such as
the Birmingham News' recent
crusade for the distribution of
series of NBC "White Papers,"
and every issue of many national
magazines. Those efforts with
which we agree are usually the
recipients of our stamp of appro­val;
those with which we dis­agree,
we tend to regard as some
sort of insidious attempt to per­vert
the national morality.
On the other hand, we see even
a greater number of instances
where the communications media
are only reflecting pre-existing
public tastes and opinions. In this
group, by and large, we find the
most successful operations from
a financial standpoint. The news­paper
with the largest circulation
in the world, the tabloid London
•Daily Mirror, is a laughable gos­sip
sheet for' the most part, and
is a standing joke among serious
journalists. Yet over six million
readers avidly gobble up its con­tents
daily. »
This financial success of the
mirror type of operation is the
reason why we are subjected to
half a dozen westerns on tele­vision
every night and are lucky
if we see a Shakespeare play
once a year. It is the reason why
Jacquline's dress for the inaug­ural
ball pushes the worsening
crisis in Laos off the front page
of almost every newspaper. Most
newspaper editors know what is
good art and what is important
news, but they also know that if
they don't conform to what the
public wants, they'll soon go
broke.
No one can deny that many
journalistic crusades have accom­plished
good results; for instance
the campaign waged by many
communications media to influ­ence
people to take the Salk vac­cine.
Many instances, however,
can be brought out where cru­sades
have not only failed to do
any good but have caused posi­tive
harm.
There are many abuses of the
power of the press, just as there
are of any other important power.
Healthy competition remedies
many abuses: if you don't like
what Time says on a subject, you
can always cancel your subscrip­tion
and buy Newsweek or U.S.
News and World Report.
Even so, many abuses of this
power remain, and probably will
always remain as long as we have
freedom of the press. However,
censorship and curtailment of the
freedom of the press will surely
lead to even worse abuses and
eventually to total disaster, and
must be avoided on every level,
from the college newspaper to the
surplus food to the needy, thejlsuccessful television officials and metropolitan daily.

CAPUCINE • MICKEY SHAUGHNESSY
With two wins and two losses in
conference play, the Tigers can't
afford another tumble in their
quest for the SEC crown.
Alabama, losers of their first
eight games, have been playing
improved basketball lately. Their
3-10 record shows victories over
Baylor, Ole Miss and an impres­sive
victory over nationally rank­ed
VPI.
The Crimson Tide is led by 6-6
center Henry Hoskins. Hoskins is
the team's leading scorer with a
19 point average, fourth best in
the SEC. He is also the leading
rebounder on the team.
Larry Pennington, a 6-4 for­ward,
is second in scoring with
an average of 14 points per game.
Alabama also has two fine play
makers and ball handlers in di-munitive
Darrell Estes (5-10),
and Gary Blagburn (6-1).
In the last few games, Coach
Eaves has been sacrificing height
for speed by putting 6-2 sopho­more
Billy Tinker into the start-in
lineup with the senior com­bination
of David Vaughn, Porter
Gilbert, Jimmy Fibbe, and Ray
Groover. This combination seems
to work as the Tigers romped to
victories over Florida State and
Georgia.
What combination Coach Eaves
will use against Alabama is not
known as yet. He could go along
with the five smaller but faster
men, or he could insert height
and rebounding strength in the
person of 6-7 Leon Posey, 6-8
Layton Johns, or 6-6 Jim Leo­nard.
Auburn, SEC leader in defense
and field goal percentage, can
bring their conference record to
three wins and two losses with
a victory over the Tide.
"They will battle us all the
way," said Coach Eaves, "just like
they did in the Birmingham Clas­sic.
We will have to play a hard
game to win."
After Saturday's game with
Alabama, Auburn will travel to
Nashville to play the Vanderbilt
Commodores on Feb. 4. The Ti­gers
do not return to the Sports
Arena until Feb. 13 when they
host the Florida Gators.

Maroons Widen Lead In Unpredictable Cage Race
.BY DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
After two weeks of play in
the Southeastern Conference, the
Mississippi State Maroons have
definitely put themselves in the
driver's seat in the race for the
conference crown. The Maroons
have rolled to five consecutive
wins over SEC opponents, which
include Auburn, Alabama, Van­derbilt,
Georgia Tech and Ole
Miss.
The only foe not to be thor­oughly
humiliated was Georgia
Tech, who forced the Maroons
into an overtime only to lose by
the margin of one point.
Who will be the team to stop
State? This question is being pon­dered
throughout the Southeast
by coaches, players and sports-writers.
Will it be one of the runner up
teams, Florida or Georgia, or will
one^ of the cellar dwellers pull
ithe*big upset?
THE BIG GUN for State has
been Jerry Graves, who is hitting
at a 22" point clip, second only to
Roger: Kaiser who is averaging
24 points a game. However, the
Maroons are not solely dependent
on Graves. While Graves was
having a cold night against Ole
Miss, sophomore Jerry Stroud
dropped in 23 points.
Auburn, bouncing back after
two early season losses, moved
back into the race by handing
Georgia a 78-68 loss in Columbus
Saturday night.
* * *
VANDERBILT regained some
of its pride by trouncing Whack
Hyder's Yellow Jackets by the
margin of 69-56. The Commo­dores
recently lost a great por­tion
of their prestige on a road
trip to Mississippi. Vandy now
stands 3-2 in conference play and
are in fourth place in the league
standing.
Kentucky, having one of its
better nights of the season, wal­loped
Tennessee by a score of 83
to 54 Saturday night in Lexing­ton.
Kentucky's record stands at

HOW SMALL CAN YOU GET?
Today let us address ourselves to a question that has long rocked
and roiled the academic world: Is a student better off at a
small college than at a large college?
To answer this question it is necessary first to define terms.
What, exactly, do we mean by a small college? Well sir, some say
that in order to be called trtily small, a college should have an
enrollment of not more than four students.
I certainly have no quarrel with this statement; a four-
Btudent college must unquestionably be called small. Indeed,
ene could even call it intime if one knew what intime meant.
But I submit there is such a thing as being too small. Take, for
instance, a recent unfortunate occurrence at Crimscott A and M.
Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestled
between Denver and Baltimore, was founded by A. and M.
Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1706 to escape the
potato famine of 1841. As a result of their foresight, the Crim­scott
brothers never went without potatoes for one single day of
their lives—and mighty grateful they were! One night, full of
gratitude after a hearty meal of French fries, cottage fries, hash
browns, and au gratin, they decided to show their appreciation
to this bountiful land of potatoes by endowing a college. They
stipulated that enrollment should never exceed four students
because they felt that only by keeping the college this small
^[dlbM M 0mWm^
could each student be assured Of the personalized attention, the
camaraderie, the feeling of belonging, that is all too often lacking
in higher education.
Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturday a
few years ago. On this day Crimscott had a football game
scheduled against Minnesota, its traditional rival. Football was,
of course, something of a problem at Crimscott, what with only
four students enrolled in the entire college. It was easy enough
to muster a backfield, but finding a good line—or even a bad
line^-baffled the most resourceful coaching minds in the country.
Well sir, on the morning of the big game against Minnesota,
its traditional rival, a capricious destiny dealt Crimscott a cruel
blow—in fact, four cruel blows. Sigafoos, the quarterback,
woke up that morning with the breakbone fever. Wrichards, the
slotback, was unable to start his motorcycle. Beerbohm-Tree,
the wingback-tailback, got his necktie caught in his espresso
machine. Langerhans, the fullback, was stolen by gypsies.
Consequently, alas, none of the Crimscott team showed up at
the game, and Minnesota, its traditional rival, was able to score
almost at will. Crimscott was so out of sorts that they immedi­ately
broke off football relations With Minnesota, its traditional
rival. This later became known as the Dred Scott Decision
So you can see how only four students might be too small an
enrollment. The number I personally favor is twenty. How
come? Because when you have twenty students and one of
them opens a pack of Marlboro Cigarettes, there are enough to
go around for everybody, and no one has to be deprived of
Marlboro's fine, mild flavor, of Marlboro's easy-drawing filter,
of Marlboro's joy and zest and steadfast companionship, and
as a result you have a student body that is filled with sweet
content and amity and harmony and concord and togetherness
and soft pack and flip-top box.
That's how come. ©i»aiMMShuim«avl
* « *
You will also find twenty cigarettes—twenty incomparable
unaltered king-size cigarettes—in each pack of Marlboro's
new partner in pleasure—the Philip Morris Commander.

Umbach's Wrestlers Take On Emory At Sports Arena
BY BOB NIXON
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach "Swede" Umbach's Au­burn
wrestling team, smarting
from their fourth defeat by Vir­ginia
Polytechnic Institute in as
many years, will take on the
grapplers from Emory University
at the Auburn Sports Arena, next
Saturday, Jan. 28. Match time is
7:30 p.m.
The strong VPI team won over
Auburn 21-9 at the Sports Arena
last Saturday.
In their last match, held on
their home mats Saturday, Emory
defeated the Knoxville YMCA
team 18-11. The match was a close
one. The hosting matmen won
four of the eight weight classes—
two of them by a single fall. The
157 pound weight class. was a
draw.
The men from the Plain should
take this one, which Coach Um-bach
expects to be "not too tough"
a match. Nevertheless, it will' no
doubt provide plenty of thrills
for wrestling fans.
The turnout of spectators at
the VPI match was unexpectedly
large, indicating the growing in­terest
in wrestling at Auburn.
According to Coach Umbach,
Auburn's starting line-up will
feature: James Grimes, 123 pound
Five Teams Undefeated In Intramural Basketball
BY PEYTON McDANIEL
Intramurals Editor
ATO, PDT, SPE, OTS, and PKT
lead the field in fraternity intra­mural
basketball as the third
week of play begins. ATO, off to
a fast start, is averaging 74 points
a game due to their 91-32 shel­lacking
of DSP and 57-12 romp
over AP.
In league 4, PDT is still going
strong. With Naftel and Thomas
hitting 19 and 17 points respec­tively,
PDT was victorious over
TC 54-45. Leading the TC team
once again was Muser, who was
high point man in the game with
21.
SPE remained undefeated the
hard way. White and Garrison
were leading scorers in SPE's vic­tories
over AGR, 46-43 and AP,
36-33.
OTS come out on the high end
of a 38-35 game with the pre­viously
unbeaten KS team. John­son
and F. Brown, with 12 and
10 points, led the OTS team. OTS
claimed another victory last week
over SAE 32-20. PKT, with Rich-
Ray Groover, prolific Tiger for­ward,
continued hit determined,
colorful performance of the past
two seasons last Saturday night in
Columbus. Pitted against arch ri­val
Bulldog Phillip Simpson of his
Dixie, Ga., high school days,
Groover hooked in 17 points to
buttress the Tiger cause. Bulldog
star Simpson hit for just nine.

DR. FROOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A penny saved is a penny earned. And if you could
put away a penny a week for one year... why, you will have fifty-two cents!
Dear Dr. Frood: Our college mascot
is a great big lovable Saint Bernard.
He loves everyone—except me. In
fact, he has bitten me viciously
eight times. What can I do to get
him to like me?
Frustrated Dog Lover
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Mother him. To
carry this off, I suggest you wear a
raccoon coat, let your hair and eye­brows
grow shaggy and learn to
whimper affectionately.
Dear Dr. Frood: Most of my life here
is extracurricular. I carry the drum
for the band, pull the curtain for the
drama society, wax the court for the
basketball team, scrape the ice for
the hockey team, clap erasers for
the faculty club and shovel snow
for the.fraternity houses. Do you
think these activities will really help
me when I get out of college?
Eager
DEAR EAGER: I don't think the col­lege
will let you out.
Dear Dr. Frood: On New Year's
Eve I foolishly resolved to be
more generous with my Luckies.
My friends have held me to this,
and I've been forced to give
away several packs a day. What
do you think would happen if I
broke this resolution?
Resolute
DEAR RESOLUTE: It's hard to
tell, really. Lightning, a runaway
horse, a tornado—who knows?

Dear Dr. Frood: Before vacation, my girl and I
agreed to exchange Christmas presents. I sent her
a nice hanky. You can imagine how I felt when I
awoke Christmas morning to find a sports car
from her. What can I do now?
Distraught
DEAR DISTRAUGHT: Remind
her that Easter giving time is
just around the corner.
Dear Dr. Frood: Can you help me convince my girl that
I'm not as stupid as she thinks I am?
Anxious
DEAR ANXIOUS: Perhaps, but you'll have to convince me
first.
"I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STOCKPILED"
TO GET A QUICK LIFT, suggests Frood, step into an elevator and light up a Lucky. In­stantly,
your spirits will rise. When you savor your Lucky, you're IN—for college students
smoke more Luckies than any other regular. They're a wised-up bunch who've known
all along that Luckies taste great. Get the cigarettes with the toasted taste—get Luckies.
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!

When Loren Gergens was working for his
B.S. degree in Business Administration at the
University of Denver, he had definite ideas about
the kind of job he wanted to land. He was de­termined
to profit from the experience of several
of his friends who had accepted promising jobs
only to find themselves in "manpower pools"—
waiting to be pulled into a responsible position.
"I didn't want to be stockpiled," Loren says.
"That's no way to start."
As a senior, Loren talked to twelve companies
and joined The Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph Company, an associated company of
the Bell Telephone System.
From his first day challenges were thrown at
him thick and fast. First, he supervised a group
of service representatives who handle the com­munications
needs of telephone customers. Then
he served as manager of several telephone busi­ness
offices. In these jobs Loren had to prove
himself on the firing line, make right decisions
and carry them through. He knew his next jump
depended on only one man—Loren Gergens.
In July, 1960, he was made Sales Manager
in Boulder, Colorado.
"I'm on the ground floor of a newly created
telephone marketing organization. And I can tell
you things are going to move fast!" Loren says.
. "It's rough at times, but hard work is fun when
you know you're going somewhere—in a busi­ness
where there's somewhere to go."
If you're interested in a job in which you can
be your own prime mover—a job in which you're
given a chance to show what you can do, right from
the start—you'll want to visit your Placement Office
for literature and additional information.
*'Our number one aim is to have in all
management jobs the most vital, intelli­gent,
positive and imaginative men we
can possibly find."
