Plainsman Editor
Founds INTERCOL
By BENNIE SUE CURTIS
News Editor
An international organization
was officially begun at
Auburn this week. With the
approval of the administration,
International Collegiate
(INTERCOL) was born.
INTERCOL, a press organization
similar to Associated Collegiate
Press, has a two-fold purpose.
The main objective of the
organization as stated by its
founder, Plainsman editor Noel
Leon, is "to foster a better understanding
among colleges and
universities throughout the world
by the exchange of ideas through
the exchange of student newspapers."
Also it. is hoped that the exchange
papers can be used to facilitate
the teaching of foreign
languages in the various countries.
"The papers can be turned
over to the foreign language departments
for interpretation and
can be used as an actual example
of the language as it is written
today," according to Leon.
Forty-five schools in 40 countries
have been sent letters explaining
INTERCOL. An invitation
to join the organization was
issued to each. It is hoped that all
will respond and become contributors.
Under the tentative program
planned by Leon, each college
that joins will be assigned a specific
time for submitting a column.
This column may concern
any aspect of life in that country
and will be run in all the member
papers.
To carry out the exchange, the
member institutions would send
each other two copies of each issue
of their newspaper. Editors
would be able to get an idea of

Two AU Coeds,
One Alumna Vie
For Miss Alabama
Two Auburn coeds and an
alumna are among 28 fin-ists
vying for the Miss Alabama
title in Birmingham tomorrow
night.
Wendy Glyde, Alice Moss and
Josie Amari have placed in the
finals group from which the title
holder will be selected.
Miss Glyde, daughter of Prof.
Edgar C. Glyde, is a previous
scholarship winner in the contest.
She was chosen "Miss Congeniality"
and third alternate in
the Junior Miss Alabama contest
this year. For the present competition
she is playing a violin
solo, "The Dance of the Green
Devil" by Cassado.
Miss Moss is from Mobile and
has won several titles at Auburn.
She has been "Loveliest of the
Plains" and played a lead role in
the performance of "Carousel"
(See AU COEDS, page 2)
LONG WALK
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rem-ick,
Douglasville, Ga., pause for
a rest in the Loveliest Village
after a lengthy walk. In quest
of Mrs. Remick's brother, the
71-year-old man and his wife
walked from Marathon, Fla. to
Brownsville, Tex. Unable to find
the relative, they began a walk
to their home in Douglasville.
Walking at a clip of. some 35
miles per day, the couple traveled
about 2,804 miles. At Auburn
they were treated to lunch
and given bus fare to Georgia
by a local minister.—Photo by

Dr. Draughon is tentatively
scheduled to appear before the
Senate finance and taxation committee
Aug. 16.
The educational appropriation

much the school will get for the
next two years will probably be
written sometime in September.
Dr. Draughon told the committee
that "salary improvement v/iil be

additional funds the Legislature
might appropriate.
"We're having a difficult time

August, 1960, is expected to be finished .by Sept. 1. . ,
Preparations ior -obtaining the money for this -project be^
gan 15 years ago, according *to Pike members.
The Pikes received a loan -from
HUti
the school—the largest-ever .given
by the school. They also received
a loan from the national fraternity.
The remainder of the money
| was obtained from the sale of the
old house plus alumni contributions.
The cost of the house is approximately
$250,000.
The style of the new house is
Old English, the same as the old
one. It w a s designed by Tom
Kirkland, a Pike alumnus of Auburn.
The dining room will accommodate
100 members. Plans
call for an area to sleep 60 members,
but this may be expanded
to 90.
The living room is approximately
50 by 20 feet, with a distance
of 65 feet from the -floor
to the ceiling.
The party room is located just
beneath the living room. Extend-

irrg from the living room there is
a sundeck about 10 feet -wide
which converts .into a covered
patio. Just off the covered patio,
the sun patio will extend 50 feet.

heat and air ^conditioning.
There are tentative plans .-for
an open house about the second

SALARY NEEDS
He reviewed the university's.
Heeds in the fields of alterations,
maintenance and operations, cap-
Oal improvements, and other
areas. However, Dr. Draughon r e turned
several times to the principal
point of his presentation:
file need of salary funds.
Upon questioning by members
ef the ways and means committee,
Dr. Draughon said the Board
Of Trustees recently had approved1
student fee raises beginning
in the coming Fall quarter which
aiiould bring in approximately
$250,000 annually. He indicated'
that most of this will be used for

"The need for expanded^ programs,

Insistent," he continued. "Urban
as well as rural people are look-finj
to Auburn for help in solving^
ttteir problems."
: He thanked the Legislature for
the "significant" appropriations
Toted two years ago and explained
that Auburn had given first
priority in the current budget to
salary improvement and employment
of additional teachers.
"A competent and dedicated
faculty is essential in all our en-jeeavors
in all three divisions,"
Isaid Dr. Draughon. "We still face

salary-in the associate pro-lessor
rank at Auburn is 1.9 per
cent below the average of all
land-grant colleges and state universities.
In the assistant professor
Wink it is 11.1 per cent below the
average of these institutions,
While at the full professor rank
H? is 22.6 per cent below.
Auburn is asking the Legislature
to appropriate a total of
fl'0,252,500. The current appropriation
is $8,058,990, but anticipated
proration of from 9 to 12
per cent will sharply reduce the
amount Auburn receives.

INTERCOL Is Born . . .
THIS WEEK we have released information about a new
organization called INTERCOL (International Collegiate).
Its purpose is to promote better understanding
among college students throughout the world through the
exchange of newspapers and ideas. Its members are newspaper
editors from colleges throughout the world.
READ ABOUT INTERCOL ON PAGE ONE
m > —— .—... i . . . . - —-..,.. .. - - i . . - . .
College students throughout the world have several
things in common. Among the "things in common" is that
almost invariably, it is the college student of today that
will become the leader of the world tomorrow.
With this thought in mind we have started this organization.
If we can attain better understanding among
college students now, when those college students take
their places as leaders in the future, they will do so with
ian entirely new and different aspect of international relations.
Va We do not intend that INTERCOL be used for any
^purpose other than to promote better understanding. College
level organizations in the past have purported to carry
out such ideals.
Many of those organizations have fallen because they
were labeled "Communistic," or "instruments of Communism,"
or "propaganda machines." Such is not our in-
;ention.
We intend to exploit INTERCOL as far as we can,
d we will do it all "across the board."
We hope it will meet the much-needed support of
•every Auburn student and faculty member.
frosh Traditions-Observe 'em . . .
iEVERYONE is familiar with Auburn traditions. However,
| far too many of us—freshmen and upperclassmen alike
*-are too lax in upholding these traditions. .
Nothing is more symbolic of Auburn spirit and tradition
than the freshman rat cap. The freshman should
tyear this cap with pride . . . never with disgust, for this
4ihows the wearer to be a great part of Auburn.
These are some of the better known customs an Auburn
frosh should recognize and proudly uphold:
FRESHMEN wear rat caps.
FRESHMEN do not walk through the main gate.
FRESHMEN speak to everyone and are courteous to
everyone.
i FRESHMEN participate in all frosh functions.
FRESHMEN sit in a body and wear rat caps at all
^bome football games.
FRESHMEN do not walk on the grass.
FRESHMEN vote in elections in which they are eligible.
FRESHMEN boys participate in the pajama parade in
pajamas and rat caps; girls participate in school clothes and
rat caps.
FRESHMEN attend all pep rallies and dances.
FRESHMEN learn the college songs and yells.
FRESHMEN are honest in the classroom.
FRESHMEN respect the principles and regulations
<of the college.
FRESHMEN stand with head uncovered when the
"Alma Mater" is played or sung.
FRESHMEN put their names and home town on the
back of their rat caps.
Perhaps the failure of some of the freshmen students
i o uphold these traditions stems from their ignorance of
them. However, we believe the major fault lies in the lax-
Bess of upper classmen in enforcing these traditions.
How can we as upperclassmen expect freshmen
to be proud of Auburn when we do not enforce . . . do
pot abide by these traditions?
Let us strive to make this fall the best in tradition
and spirit in .the. history of Auburn.—Po^wor.

Communism Spreads Evil Influence
Through Infiltration Of Young People
By BENNIE SUE CURTIS
Communism c o n t i n u e s to
spread its e v i l influence over
countries of the world that are
too weak or too ignorant to resist.
Much of this Communist infiltration
is being accomplished
through young people — students
and working class alike.
Communists are devoted to the
Leninist principle that "youth
will decide the issue of the entire
struggle," meaning that if youths
of free countries are caught unaware
and tricked into accepting
Communist ideals, the Reds' goal
of expanding their control over
the world will be made much
easier.
Massive campaigns wer,e launched
in Japan 10 years ago which
culminated into student riots that
rocked Japan and shocked the
world. Seeds of unrest have been
sown in many other countries and
the ill effects are becoming more
evident every day.
But most disturbing of all is
the Communist infiltration now
evident in our own United States.
It has been known for a good
while that Communists are well
organized here and are working
constantly to undermine all
phases of our political and economic
systems. Perhaps these
facts were seen and realized most
vividly in May of 1960. This was
the time w h e n Communist-inspired
youths staged demonstrations
protesting the House Committee
on Un-American Activity
hearings in San Francisco, Calif.
These demonstrations w h i ch
began peacefully Iturned into mob
violence t h r o u g h Communist
planning. This was the best thing
that had happened to the Communist
Party here in years. But
it also had good effects for America.
It made us see just how
strong Communism is and showed
how easily Communists can incite
mobs to wild demonstrations.
Last year a spokesman for the
Communist p a r t y ' s executive
meetings stated that "there has
been a breakthrough as far as
young people are concerned, particularly
where students want to
know what socialism is." There is
some truth in what he said. This
"breakthrough" or infiltration of
students was not chance or a bit
of luck but rather the result of a
continuous and concentrated effort
by the party.
The party knows it will not
meet with success if it tries coming
out openly to entice youths
to join its ranks. So party leaders
work slyly to trick youths into
changing their beliefs and becoming
loyal to a new cause.
I do not mean to imply that
college students are gullible or
ignorant. My purpose is only to
serve as a reminder that these
elements are at work and that we
should be constantly on guard
against them.
We cannot simply sit back
calmly and say that America will
never have to fear a real Communist
threat here. We cannot
complacently ignore the progress
that has already been made. Rather
we must begin now to combat
these Communist tactics. We
should be working as diligently
to preserve democracy as t he
Reds are to spread their beliefs.
We can do our part by acquainting
ourselves with some of
the dangerous tactics being used
now by our adversaries. Films
such as "Operation Abolition"
which point out the dangers posed
by the Communists should be
shown often and heeded by all
Americans. Any instruction about
the Communists' progress can
help us be able to beat them at
their own game.

Berlin War Scare,
* t
Ban On Playboy
Threat To Freedoms
By BOB NIXON
At first glance, there seems to
be little connection between the"
present Berlin war scare and the;
local ban against Playboy rnaga-1
zihe. But I.wonder—-..
The United States has pledged-itself
to defend West Berlin!
against Soviet aggression. Essentially
this ,.is, a. pledge to main-,
tain the freedom of this segment
of the German population.
Now the word freedom has
m a n y connotations, depending
upon the specific area to which
it is applied. . .
In the United States freedom
includes, among other things,
freedom of speech, freedom of religion,
freedom of the press, and
the right of assembly. Freedom of,
expression and thought are implied
liberties, and are taken for"
granted by most of us as a part
of our national heritage.
However, each of our liberties
has o n l y been maintained
through the struggles of individuals
and groups who were willing
to protest against those who,
for various reasons of their own,,
decided that certain of our freedoms
should be curtailed.
Relative to the current ban
against the display and sale of
Playboy in Auburn, I want to;
make it clear that I am well
aware of the amount of smut to
be found on most newsstands. •
However, it goes w i t h o ut
saying that any form of censorship
is a dangerous thing. Why?
Because it is difficult to control.
When any minority group is successful
in imposing its collective!
will on the majority, it not only
deprives that majority of freedom
of choice in one particular
area, but gives encouragement to
other minority groups in the im»
position of their particular views
—moral, religious, or what have
you—upon the majority.
Once successfully implemented,
it is difficult to define the limits
to which censorship may extend.
Suppose, for example, that a
number of parents of Auburn, sttt*T
dents took exception to the in*j
elusion of Canterbury Tales .aadr:
James Joyce's Ulysses as require
ed reading in English courses ,at
our university.
Judging by the success of the
Playboy ban, it seems quite possible
that pressure could be successfully
brought against the administration
to cause either or
both of these to be dropped from
the curriculum.
What would be next? Almost
anything, conceivably.
That some regulation of print*
ed material is necessary is not
to be denied. Without it, the.
country would be flooded with
pornography, just as crime would
run rampant without laws and
law enforcement.
But—just as a minimum of legal
restriction on human behavio*
is preferable to complete control
of the individual, so a minimum
of censorship is preferable to
complete control of all media of;
communication, including magaw
zines. wc-
If a minority of Auburn citi*
zens feels the display and sale.;
of Playboy is morally detrimental"
to others in the community,
would it not be more in line witH
democratic processes to call a
special election on this issue and
put it to a vote?
Surely this is preferable to letting
the minority rule, as is now
the case.
We as Americans seem ready
to fight to defend democracy in
far away West Berlin; why thea
should we accept minority rule
here in our own backyard?. -4"

Campus Walkways
Follow Old Paths
Made By Students
•;« By DAVID POYNOB
If you have ever noticed
She weird pattern of walk-
Ways around the campus I am
Bure you have wondered what
drunk laid them out. The truth
of the matter is that students
Over the years are the ones
Who designed the pattern.
It seems that some years back,
Bam Brewster who was then director
of Buildings and Grounds
bad a very imaginative idea. His
Idea conveyed the theory that it
would be best to wait and see
Where the students walked and
then put in the walkways. Ap-jiarently
this is the procedure
ghat was followed.
i There is another theory that is
Similar to the one of Brewster.
JThis one claims that a very cheap
grade of grass was planted all
around the campus and where-fcver
it was trampled to death
Walkways were put in.
•; Another of Brewster's imaginative
ideas was used to prevent
ftudents and other personnel
irom "cutting corners" and thus
killing the grass around the intersections
and ends of the walkways.
This he did by planting
Various types of flowers and
Shrubbery around t h e s e areas
and enclosing them with a fence.
BPhe fence was later removed af-fer
the plants had attained a size
Ht which they were able to fare
for themselves.
If one will take the time to
BOtice, it will be readily seen
(hat these walkways form a very
Intricate system. No one in a
Bormal state of mind would have
deemed such a system as being
logical. Yet it would seem that
the system used is by far the
paost logical one even though it
•aay be illogical f r om an engineering
point of view.
All in all it would seem that
Brewster was not only a logical
fbinker but a pretty shrewd person.
Perhaps the students were
not so illogical either. In most
Bases the paths selected are the
•tost direct routes between buildings.
So . . . it appears that laziness
sometimes follows the paths
nt logical thinking.

campus in January, i^^:^^o&^il^^i^^^^^:i!^^\j^i^p^rL^
versity. The '60 Gators won nine gridiron victories, lost, but two, and;
| i S ^ l S S ^ i ^ ^ P ^ ^ ? ^ i ^ ^ ^ f i ^ f | § ^ 3 i victory over Baylor. Auburw
was theonly SEC team to beat last year's Gators. .; '• ".'.•

backs are more *gxp*rienceii, *ey«ftaihalfback* have stardom
" fating;them,"'and'tRe;'fttUback positionis in flood hands.
Realistically, though^ Coach Graves is concerned about the middle
of the Florida: line. It's no simple problem to replace immediately
such standouts as All-Southeastern guard-Vic Miranda, rugged tackle
Ronnie Slack and other experienced tackles Roger Seals ..and, Gerald
Odom. Also missing will, be high-ranking guards Don Senterfit^
Chet Collins and Ken Nbrris. The number one and two centers Bob
/Wehking and Bill-Hood also went the graduation route.. ... - &,£ -..;
On hand to help lick this problem will be lettermen Jim Beaver,
captain and tackle, plus Gerald Stephens and Floyd Dean, also.at
. tackles.- Guards Larry Travis and Charlie Gill return, along with
highly promising letterman Bruce Culpepper at center. But they will
need help, and the question is: Who will play the supporting, if not
starting roles at guards, tackles, and -center? •
The end positions, it appeared at completion of spring practice,
are in reasonably good shape. Five lettermen return to the two positions
on the right and left sides—Tom Smith, Sam Holland, Tom
Gregory, Tom Kelly and Billy Cash' (used primarily a s a placement
and field goal specialist last season).
Midget Magic at Quarterback..
At quarterback, the prospects are bright with the return of Larry
: Libertore, 5-8, 138-pound magician who was "Sophomore of the Year"
in the SEC last year, and Bobby Dodd, Jr., who performed in standout
fashion both offensively and defensively as a sophomore. Tom
Batten, another '60 soph also returns with his ever-threatening throwing
arm.
i There is a broad beam that brightens. Coach Graves' counte-
1 nance when he speaks of his returning halfbacks, including letter-j
men Bob Hoover, Dick Skelly, Lindy Infante, Bruce Starling and
Walt Hickenlooper.. Hicke.nlooper is likely.to see most of his ac-ji
tion- in a defensive, role this year.
' This defensive specializing also .goes for Paul White, veteran safe-tyman
who is credited by one assistant coach as having "built in radar."
It is very true that he is one of the best pass defenders in the
league.
All-star hopeful Don Goodman, leading .ground gainer for the
Gators in 1960, returns at fullback, supported by Cecil Swell, a
standout in Florida's Gator Bowl victory last j»ear.
Will Florida beat Auburn? J doubt it. If they do, i t =will be the
first time ever in Cliff. Hare Stadium. Of course Gator followers are
hoping that the good luck which Graves is used to will overcome the
Auburn jinx. Like I said before—I doubt it.
An Apology Due?...
The last game of the season is a December 2 contest with the
Alabama Crimson Tide. But before we go any further, I suppose I
owe an apology to Coach Bryant, all Bama alumni, the football team
along with the entire student body, and of course to Mr. John D.
Wright of the Tuscaloosa News. Mr. Wright is correct! Alabama
has appeared in 14 bowl .games along -with Georgia Tech as he stated
in his letter last week. They haven't won one since 1953, but they've
been in there plugging anyway.
As -for Bama's bowl record being "considerably more spectacular
than that of ^Georgia Tech," I'll let you decide for yourself.
I'll just drop the fact that Tech's record in the post season
classics is 13-1 while-Bama has amassed a not so spectacular 7-5-
2 record.
Let me say at this time that I do not wish to get into a writing
contest with Mr. Wright, because I would no doubt wind up on the
short end. I'm sure he has been at this business of writing much longer
than I, and is to be commended for his enthusiasm and readiness to
come to the defense of the Crimson Tide. The University is very fortunate
to have such a man on the city newspaper.
Now back to Bear and his boys. Leading the 1961 Red Elephants
will be Billy Neighbors, a 230-pound tackle from Northport. Neighbors
is one of the best linemen in college football, and he is not alone
in the forewall. Lee Roy Jordan, 202 pound center, ends Bill Battle
and Tommy Brooker, tackle Bill Rice, and guard Jack Rutledge will
give plenty of top-grade support. It will be difficult to move the ball
on Alabama this year.

Captains Are Respected By Team;
fiould Provide Excellent Leadership
By DAVID YOUNCE
Plainsman Sports Writer
Ralph Jordan's 1961 edition of the Auburn Tigers will be
captained by two of the most consistent and hard-nosed football
players in the SEC. These two are right half Don
Machen and left half John McGeever.
Machen, who is at the present a question mark, recently
underwent surgery for a knee in
jury but has recovered remarkably
well, and if. everything goes
well from here on out, Don will
see plenty of action this fall.
Don, who was the second leading
scorer last season, has been
the team's sparkplug the past two
.seasons. A l t h o u g h relatively
.small for a collegiate football
player these days at 5-8 — 148
pounds, Don makes up for this in IP
determination and grit. Many a
time has Machen run into, and
0\'er a m u c h larger opponent
when he could have just as easily
gcme around him.
As a junior last year, Machen
caught five passes for 85 yards gj
and a touchdown. He was second "
in kikckoff returns with a 28.4 average,
which was third best in the
SEC. As a ball carrier, he lugged
the ball 38 times for 172 yards
which averaged out to 4.5 yards
per carry.
Machen's play was exceptional
in last year's Tennessee, Mississippi
State, and Georgia games.
.Against Georgia he caught one of
the longest passes of the season
from quarterback Bobby Hunt.
Auburn coaches regard Machen
ar, an ideal player to coach. He
is quiet, personable, and determined.
Don is married, and is majoring
in Business Administration.
Sharing captain duties w i th
Machen this fall will be left half-hack
John McGeever from Birmingham.
John, who operated as
fullback and a line-backing specialist
last fall, will be seeing extended
playing time this fall.
Although he spent most of his
time on defense last year, McGeever
was quite impressive on
offense also as he rushed for 127
yards in 24 carres for a 5.2 average.
McGeever broke open the
.Kentucky game last year by
breaking loose with a 46 yard run
from scrimmage. This was Auburn's
only touchdown of t he
night as Ed Dyas came on to boot
a field goal and the Tigers ended
up on top by a score of 10-7.
McGeever is very fast. He runs
the 50 in 5.8 seconds, and this
combined with his 200 pounds,
.spells destruction for opponents
on quick opener plays. McGeever
illustrates the excellent training
program Auburn has, for when
John came to Auburn from John
Carroll High School in Birmingham
he weighed only 160 pounds.
.Now he tilts the scales at 200 as
a result of training with weights,
in and out of season.
Auburn has certainly picked
two of the best to be found anywhere
to take charge of the Tigers
on the field this fall. Both
Machen and McGeever are respected
by their teammates and
should provide excellent leadership
for the team.

SPOTLIGHT...
Tide Backfield Improved . . .
The biggest Tide improvement, insiders say, will come in the
backfield, where Bryant can count on solid depth for the first time
.since he joined his Alma Mater.
Pat Trammell, a 193-pour.d senior from Scottsboro, is the
Alabama quarterback, and Bryant says he wouldn't swap him for
any quarterback in the conference.
"Pat can't run, he can't pass, and he can't kick," says Bryant.
" I n fact he can't do but one thing. He can beat you."
Understudy to Trammell is sophomore Jack Huribut, a transfer
from Rice who sat out last season. Huribut is a sharp passer as well
as a good all-around quarterback. These two should very satisfactorily
replace Bobby Skclton, Tide's clutch man last year.
Both halfback spots are manned by veterans—Ray Abruzzese and
Butch Wilson. They are ably backed by ex-quarterback Carlton Rankin,
ex-fullback Cotton Clark, hold-over Bill Oliver, and 1959 regular
Duff Morrison. Mike Fracchia and Billy Richardson appear ready
to provide fullback protection with Darwin Holt and Elbert Cook to
replace them on defense.
"Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and Georgia probably are
stronger than we are," said the ever-pessimistic Bryant recently. I
tfiink he is right on at least one of these teams, this being the one he
meets in Birmingham's Legion Field on Dec. 2.
War Eagle Triumphs
In Canadian Race
Mr. R i c h a r d C. Armstrong
writes f r o m Columbia University
and encloses the following
clipping from The New York
Times:
"FORT ERIE, Ont, July 29—
War Eagle, owned by Peter Del
Greco of Toronto and ridden by
Sam Cosentino, survived a foul
claim and won the $9,000 Fair
Play Stakes before 13,137 racing
fans at Fort Erie today. The victory
raised War Eagle's earnings
to $128,366.
"War Eagle ran the mile over
the grass course in 1:37 2/5 as he
defeated G r a y Monarch by a
head."
There seems to be a winning
precedent wherever the name
"War Eagle" is found, and from
this it seems to be found in places
other than Auburn.
