A new president for the School
of Agriculture will be chosen
from candidates to be put
up by the dean of that school and
by honor agricultural societies.
Student government president
Gene Driver said Tuesday that he
had written the d e a n of that
school and t h e honor societies,
asking them to submit the names
of those whom they believe best
qualified for the office.
"After we have a number of
candidates," Driver said, "they
will be interviewed by a qualifi­cations
board and will be eval­uated
much the same as if they
were qualifying for the elections."
Driver added that after the
evaluations are completed, he will
appoint one of the candidates
with two-thirds the approval of
the senate.
Next meeting of the senate is
scheduled for Monday at 4 p.m.,
and the qualifications board will
meet that same day at 2 p.m.
According to Driver, the board
will meet only if there is a "sub­stantial
number" of candidates.
The student president added that
he hoped the letters asking for
candidates would be answered
soon in order to expedite the ap­pointment.
Driver was authorized to ap­point
a student to the office by
the Jurisprudence Committee last
week. The matter went before
that committee because both can­didates
seeking election were dis­qualified
when they did not meet
the necessary qualifications.
Until the appointment is made,
there "exists a vacancy," accord­ing
to the Jurisprudence Commit­tee,
since all school officers as­sume
office upon election.

Does Ed Dyas have the "Blit"?
What about Suzie Myrick, Carole
Meadows, S a d i e Bruce, Pat
Johnson, Barbara Chappeutte, or
Ginger Poitevint? Or perhaps,
Gene Driver, John Daniel Reaves,
Lin Monroe or Mr. Herb Rein-hard?
The All Campus Fund Drive
announces this week the presen­tation
of "BLIT" to the Auburn
campus. All students are invited
to see "BLIT" in the Auburn Un­ion
Cafeteria from today until
Tuesday, Nov. 22. "BLIT," the
"best legs in town," is a special
final fund raising activity of the
drive. It should prove interesting,
humorous and rewarding. Each
student may vote for his choice
for "BLIT" by depositing coins in
the bottles by his candidate's pic­ture.

two one hour shows, the first
beginning at 7:30 p.m. Music for
the dance will come from the Au­burn
Knights under the direction
of Bobby Boettcher.
"Brother" Dave, w h o has re­leased
two best-sellers on t he
RCA label, is one of the most pop­ular
of the current crop of hum­orists
over the nation. His down-on-
the-farm humor has proven to
be quite a favorite among college
students everywhere, but espec­ially
those in the South. His re­cords
"Rejoice Dear Hearts" and
"Kick Thy Own Self" have be­come
big favorites as is eviden­ced
by their continued popularity.
Gardner will take the stage at
7:30 in the Sports Arena for the
first performance.
Immediately after "Brother"
Dave's first hour, the Knights will
strike up in the Student Ac Build­ing
with some real dance music.
The Knights led by Bobby Boet­tcher
are one of the best college
bands anywhere.

THE 21 FINALISTS f o r the
Glomerata beauty positions will
be presented during the evening
in a lead-out, and will be escort­ed
by members of ODK and the
Glom staff. The top eight girls as
selected in yesterday's judging
will receive the coveted awards.
The Winners will be featured in
the beauty section of this year's
Glomeroto.
About 9 o'clock "Brother" Dave
will be back for another hour of
rejoicing and carryin' on.
Gardner has made his recent
rise to fame primarily because of
his material, which he derives in
part from the daily papers and
thus is of current interest.
The finalists for the eight Glom
beauty positions are Sadie Bruce,
June Billingsley, Hayden Harris,

Perhaps you have noticed stu­dents
on the fringes of town on
certain weekends handing out
pleas for safe driving. You may
have been aware of safety an­nouncements
at t h e football
games this fall. At half time dur­ing
the FSU game, the Student
Safety Committee and the band
will coordinate their efforts to
produce a half-time show dealing
with safety. These are a few of the
evidences of the activity of this
Student Committee which was or­ganized
and introduced into the
Cabinet last year by the Student

The Superintendent of Public
Relations is another Cabinet posi­tion
which is very active parti­cularly
in the, fall. Lila Nolen
serves in this capacity for 1960-61
and is responsible for planning
the annual meetings of student
| representatives of Auburn, Uni­versity
of Alabama, Georgia Tech,
and Georgia at which times meth­ods
are discussed for improving
relations between t h e f o ur
schools, particularly on football
weekends. A result of these meet­ings
is the Hospitality Weekend
which was such a great success
last Friday and Saturday. Coord­inating
efforts with Alpha Phi
Omega and Circle K, the Auburn
Student Body demonstrated to
students from the University of
Georgia a hospitality which was
lacking last year at Athens. Plans
were successful for an All-Cam­pus
dance and joint parties with
Georgia Students and faculty
members.
Through similar meetings each
year Auburn is stamping out ani­mosity
between schools and fost­ering
the rivalry and competitive
spirit.
These are only two areas within
the large organization, but per­haps
an awareness of the organi­zation
behind these activities will
point out the necessity and the
usefulness of student government
and perhaps as we proceed this
will become more evident.

AU EMPLOYEES MAUL MAN,
ESCAPE COURSE OF JUSTICE i
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
and JAMES CLINKSCALES
It seems incredibly inhuman that anyone would violently beat up
a defenseless 67-year-old man with a known heart condition, for no
reason at all, and then leave him unattended for twelve hours. But
that is precisely what happened to Fonny Calhoun, of the Wire Road
community, at the hands of a campus policeman and another college
employee Friday before last.
Fonny Calhoun, 67-year-old Negro worker, finished his farm
work Friday afternoon, Nov. 4, and left with a friend for Notasulga
to attend to some debts at the office of the Justice of the Peace. After
only a short stay there, he set out for home again. As he neared his
home, he was forced to stop by the side of the road for some strange
reason. A car driven by Leonard Hood of. the Auburn University cam­pus
police force had stopped short in front of Calhoun's car, forcing
Calhoun to an abrupt stop. Immediately thereafter, another car, driven
by Hershel Berry, an employee of Buildings and Grounds, rammed in­to
Calhoun's car from behind. At this point, Calhoun was pulled from
his automobile, and mercilessly beaten. Calhoun's f r i e n d immed­iately
fled in fright.
After travelling to Loachapoka, where Calhoun was once again
beaten, the car returned to Hood's residence in the Wire Road com­munity.
After man-handling Calhoun again, Hood went inside his
house to change into his police uniform. Having done this, Calhoun
was placed under arrest, carried to the Lee County jail in Opelika,
and impounded for drunkenness.
Calhoun remained unattended in the Lee County jail overnight,
and was finally released in time for his family to put him under a
doctor's care in Tuskegee. It was realized there that his condition was
such that it warranted the attention of a brain specialist in Columbus.
Calhoun has remained in critical condition at a hospital in Phenix
City since his arrival there.
It.has been cleared beyond question that Calhoun was not drunk
during the incident. His employer has stated that he was not drinking
that afternoon on the job. The Justice of the Peace in Notasulga has
testified that Calhoun had not been drinking at the time of his visit
there. Furthermore, the time lapse between his departure from Nota­sulga
and the occurrence of the incident was only a matter of minutes.
No one has been able to ascertain any misdemeanor committed
by Calhoun in connection with the incident. It must be assumed,
therefore, that Leonard Hood and Hershel Berry willfully and bru­tally
beat up a 67-year-old sick man with no provocation whatsoever.
When questioned, policeman Hood had nothing to say except, "I did
what I had to do."
Is this the kind of thing our campus police "have to do?" Cer­tainly
not. Leonard Hood is definitely not characteristic of our Cam­pus
police force. The Plainsman feel that, in the best interests of Au­burn
University, men of the character of Hood and Berry should not
be included on the University's staff. To go further, how can we place
any faith whatsoever in Leonard' Hood as a. policeman? We should
quite naturally live in fear of. one of our students meeting the same
fate as Fonny Calhoun.
WITH STANDING room only available, Cliff Hare looked like this from above during last Sat­urday's
Auburn-Georgia thriller. The crowd of 46,000 plus was biggest on record for a college foot­ball
game played in this state!

Knights Backed By 32-Year History;
Fine Reputation Spread Over South
BY JUDGE GREEN
"The finest college band I've
ever heard!", said Miss Joni
James. "An outstanding group of
young musicians!", commented
the Four Freshmen. "A really top
professional outfit!", declared
Georgie Jessel. Such are the r e ­marks
of big-name entertainers
who have appeared with the Au­burn
Knights Orchestra during
the past couple of years. Travel­ling
throughout the South every
year, the Knights continue to
spread their good reputation, as
well as Auburn's.
But the famous Auburn Knights
dance orchestra of 1960 is but an­other
chapter in this group's 32-
year history. In 1928, a few musi­cally-
inclined API students got
together with the idea in mind of
playing the kind of music they
enjoyed, while making some much
needed college money at the same
time. The result of this original
venture has been the evolution of
one of the nation's top college
dance bands. So far as Knights
Business Manager Herb Edwards
can ascertain, the Auburn Knights
Orchestra is the oldest contin­ually-
operating college group of
its kind in the country. In most
cases, a college band is organized
by a certain group of friends, and
stays in existence only as long as
that group is in school. But the
Knights have a real organization
with a rich heritage.

CONTINUOUSLY sought-after
for campus, country club, and
military club dances throughout
the South, the Auburn Knights
last year appeared with great suc­cess
at such far-away places as
Daytona Beach, Fla., Savannah,
Ga., Nashville, Tenn., and Colum­bia,
S.C.
Last spring, the Knights re­leased
a long-playing record on
their own label entitled "Happy,
with the 1960 Auburn Knights."
Within three weeks of its release,
the album had sold out com­pletely.
Requests for more records
have been so numerous that a
new and larger order has been
placed by the bubsiness manager,
and the record will be available
at Herbert's Music Store in Au­burn
within a week.
The most striking fact concern­ing
the 30-year existence of the
Auburn Knights Orchestra is that
it was originally, and still is, op­erated
100 per cent by students.
While using the Auburn name,
and consisting of Auburn stu­dents,
it has no official connection
or subordination to the adminis­tration
of Auburn University.

Green Ignites 15 'Dog Burnings'
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
Thomas J. Green, of the Uni­versity
Campus Police force, has
become a sort of tradition at the
annual "Burn The Bulldogs" Pep
Rally before the Auburn-Georgia
game.
The elderly police officer has
had the distinction of lighting the
"Burn The Bulldog" fire every
year for the past 15 years. It has
become a sort of ceremony in it­self
for Green to light the fire,
setting off a tumultous ovation
of "War Eagle" from thousands
of students in attendance. Ac­cording
to Officer Green, the bon­fire
burns so quickly that the tim­ing
in lighting it must be accu­rate
so that the fire will be at its
height while the students are
gathered for the burning ritual.
Green's first occasion to serve
as "fire-tender" was in 1946. At
that time, the East Stands of Cliff
Hare Stadium had not been built,
and the pep rally was held at the
south end of the field, where this
year's new addition to the stad­ium
is now located. Green re­members
that area as being so
wet and swampy that he had to
"wade through the mud to get to
the bulldog fire." What a far cry
is that undergrown patch of land
from our modern new stadium
annex of today!
After Cliff Hare Stadium was
enlarged in 1949, the pep rally
was moved to its present loca­tion,
Biggio Flats. Through the
years, Green says there have been
no accidents or mishaps to stu­dents
at the big fire-burning
TETANUS INJECTIONS
The college infirmary encour­ages
all students who need to take
the second injection of tetanus
toxoid to report to the Infirmary
for this second injection as soon
as possible.
This will prevent them from
loosing the effects accruing from
the first injection and having to
take tetanus antitoxin in case of
injury.
All members of the armed forces
are required to take tetanus tox­oid
immunizations, and it is al­most
universally agreed that do­ing
so is desirable.
fiasco. However, he relates that
everyone concerned became quite
annoyed three or four years ago
when someone set off the pre-built
fire a whole day before the
pep rally! This necessitated the
complete rebuilding of the big
bonfire on a day's notice. And
quite often, relates Green, some­one
will "load" the bonfire with
firecrackers ahead of time.
Green is not quite sure just
how he happens to be-the one to
light the fire each year, but now
that the tradition as been set, it
seems, that he will be performing
this duty for some years to come.
Officer Green and the entire
Campus Police force play an im­portant
part in the "Burn The
Bulldogs" pep rally, as well as all
rally.
Green.a 15-year veteran on the
Campus police force, does his
work at night, on patrol from
9:30 until 6:00 a.m. His attitude
toward his job is reflected in a
statement he made: "We want to
help the students. Any time I can
do anything for any of you stu­dents,
just call on me, and I'll be
glad to do whatever I can."
Lovely Carol Covey Bewitches SAE's,
Captures Sweetheart Crown Third Time

"Her loveliness, her tenderness,

The sight of her will always

toward their sweetheart, Carol
Covey. With the announcenfent of
her re-election, at an informal
ceremony during Homecoming,
Carol became the first girl in the
82-year history of Alpha Mu
Carol Covey . . .
SAE favorite again
chapter to be chosen SAE Sweet­heart
three times.
The SAE's list of tributes to
Carol is a long and glowing one.
Her beauty and grace put her in
a class of her own. But Lionmen
rank her at the very top mainly
because of her charm and person­ality,
a quality for which Carol is
noted throughout the campus. She
takes a personal interest in each
bother, guest, and chapter activity
to the extent that SAE's feel that
the fraternity means as much to
her as it does to the brothers.
Carol is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Covey of Mont­gomery.
She is a member of Kap­pa
Delta Sorority, and has served
as its president. She is an out­standing
student, majoring in so­ciology.
Her list of extra-curri­cular
activities is one of the
lengthiest of any local coed.
Her list of Auburn honors in­clude

FRENCH MUSIC
HIGHLIGHTS
COX CONCERT
BY PHILLIP ROBERTS
Pianist Mary Anthony Cox
sparkled through an interesting
and extremely difficult program
of music at Langdon Hall Tues­day
night in the second offering
of this season's Concert and Lec­ture
Series. A large and respon­sive
audience was most receptive
to the young artist, enough so to
warrant an encore at the close of
the recital.
Miss Cox's program was heavy
on selections by French compos­ers,
a not-at-all surprising fact
due to her ten years of extensive
study in France with such not­ables
of the keyboard world as
the great Robert Casedesus. In­cluded
in her French presenta­tions
were works of Rameau, Ra­vel,
Debussey, and the contem­porary
Poulenc. In addition, she
rendered selections by Beethoven
and Chopin.
A concert artist of charm,
warmth, and a most attractive ap­pearance,
Mary Anthony Cox
shows a striking depth of feeling
in her interpretations, especially
in the French music. In some ex­tremely
rapid technical passages,
she seemed to be somewhat hind­ered
by her unfamiliarity with
the Langdon Hall piano, which,
according to local pianists, has a
very heavy touch. Her sense of
feeling and inherent musicianship
far outweighed any slip of the
fingers on an unfamiliar instru­ment,
however.
Following the concert, a recep­tion
for Miss Cox was held at the
Social Center, with approximately
75 in attendance. The young pian­ist
was joined in the receiving
line by her mother, Mrs. Roy Cox
of Montgomery, who has guided
her daughter's musical education
from the start. The elder Cox is
exuberant by nature, and seemed
to be very proud of her talented
daughter's accomplishments.
Miss Cox says her immediate
plans will be to conduct a limited
concert tour through this area for
the next year or so, while resid
ing with her mother in Montgom
ery.
Cotton, second in significance
only to the covete. I Miss Alabama
County Maids of Cotton in con-title,
was the big moment of the
entire Fair, and included 49
test for the crown. Margaret,
sponsored originally by the Pilot
Club of her hometown, Tallassee,
went to the Fair as the Elmore
County Maid of Cotton. As Ala­bama
Maid of Cotton, she will
visit mills and c i v i c clubs
throughout the state for the pro­motion
of the cotton industry,
wearing—of course—her all-cot­ton
wardrobe presented to her
along with $500 as her prize for
the title.
Margaret is n o w anxiously
awaiting the National Maid of
Cotton Contest to be held in
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 28-29. There
she will be judged with at least
25 other state Maids of Cotton
from all the cotton states of the
South and West. The lucky Na­tional
Maid of Cotton, says Mar­garet,
has as full a schedule as
Miss America herself. Immed­iately
after her presentation, she
journeys directly to New York,
for a week of wardrobe-fitting,
in preparation for a trip around
the world representing the Am­erican
Cotton Industry.
As Alabama Maid of Cotton,
Margaret has found it necessary
to take a light load in her Edu­cation
curriculum in order to at­tend
to her duties as Maid. The
pretty d a r k - eyed sophomore
seems to fit quite naturally into
her role as Maid of Cotton, be­cause
her list of hobbies, in addi­tion
to skiing and swimming, in­cludes
"pickin' cotton."

Auburn Veterans Association — A Unique Outfit!
BY JIM DINSMORE
AVA — the Auburn Veterans
Association—has left its mark in
literally hundreds of places.
Homecoming Day a few weeks
ago found the members of AVA
pasing out white pieces of card­board
with "War Eagle" etched
in thick, black letters on one side.
On the other side was a safe, sane
little saying. "Tigers! Aggressive
in the field. Courteous at the
wheel." These signs were placed
on the windshields of thousands
of cars, proclaiming the Auburn
spirit of the day to the outside
world. In time, many of the Au­burn
alumni and viistors headed
for home with the AVA's "War
Eagle" still attached to their
windshields. Many Auburn stu­dents
still display their signs,
which was the idea of the Auburn
Veterans Association. And many
a glance just naturally falls to the
". . . Courteous at the wheel."
having untold psychological ef­fect.
This is but one project of the
Auburn Veterans Association, a
group dedicated to Auburn. This
organization is composed of 235
students who have served in the
armed forces for a period longer
than six months and who are
willing to give service for Au­burn.
* * *
AVA IS NOT national in scope.
It is purely an Auburn organi­zation,
but its basic idea and its
mahy.cprbjects have evoked much
comment and interest from other
colleges throughout the nation.
President Archie Lloyd recently
received a letter from the Uni­versity
of North Carolina re­questing
detailed information.
In addition to President Lloyd,
other officers w h o co-ordinate
AVA's activities are Vice-presi­dent
Sam Cassels, Secretary Gene
Steber, Treasurer James Broth­ers,
and Sergeant-at-Arms Don
Parsons. Dr. Ray Ritland, who of­ten
can be seen in the economics
department, serves as advisor.
The biggest, most outstanding
project of AyA is in helping out
with registration every quarter.
In the midst of the long registra­tion
lines are seen suited-boys
with "AVA" stamped on their arm
bands. Usually there is a small
crowd congregated next to these
figures and a multitude of ques­tions
fly through the air around.
* * *
THE Auburn Veterans Associa­tion
is always looking to help Au­burn
in any way possible. One
idea being kicked around at the
AVA Tuesday night meetings
concerns a source of income for
this year and years to come. A
definite possibility is an AVA-owned-
and-operated golf driving
range to give Auburn students
another healthful diversion and to
fill the coffers of AVA; All pro­fits,
of course, would be used for
Auburn University; and the mon­ey
would open new roads of im­provement
for Auburn to AVA.
Some of AVA's projects of the
past include a soap box derby
race during Village Fair and a
dance marathon. This year, the
members of AVA would like to
get a place or house of their own
in addition to their office-in the
Union Building.. Such; a; place
would.be a focal point of.opera­tions,
would increase unity,:would
encourage ideas, and would pro­vide
a place of relaxation fpr the
AVA'ers. If all'this jells,"the Au­burn
Veterans Association may
become bigger and better until
the idea of AVA snowballs across
the campuses of the nation, with
Auburn leading the way.

Has Outstanding Features;
Unity, Service Present Throughout
By JIM DINSMORE
Towers is not a name. It is not a service organization
and social outlet for independent girls on campus as most
people think. It is, in fact, a body composed of 75 component
parts, one body working for the good of the whole. What
is t h e whole? It could be Auburn University, but that is
not enough. The whole is a va­cuum
which sucks up the body's
energies and desires. The whole
is that which is outside the self­same
body.
In the unity there is inevitably
purpose. The purpose of Towers,
a non-selfish one, is all-encom-posing
service. Since service is
social in scope, body Towers also
has some social leanings. An an­nual
Christmas Party, cookouts,
and slumber parties add to the
spirit and develop yet another
facet of body Tower's personal­ity.
I
While the body sometimes glit­ters
in fun, more often she glist­ens
in work. She gave a tea for
the freshmen girls to acquaint
them with herself and to wel­come
them to Auburn. She help­ed
the All-Campus Fund Drive
through the sale of Glomerata
pictures. She solicited funds for
the same drive from all the in­dependent
girls in the dorms. She
welcomes visitors to all the foot­ball
games and offers free infor­mation.
She distributed posters for the
lecture and concert series. She
conducts a gigantic fashion show ' burn campus
every year with some 75 models
sporting Loveman's best. S he
gives an award to the outstand­ing
senior girl. She works with
Circle K in urging people to vote
at each election. She's a busy,
busy body.
* * *
MISS TOWERS has many put-standing
features. Overall last
year she managed a better than
two point average, with each
member contributing to the ef­fort.
The head and guiding forces
are Sarah Glenn Frazier, Peggy
Kling, Sara Sullivan, Gail Baines,
and Myrna Cumby. Lending a
helping hand is faculty advisor
Miss Harriet Donahue. Miss Tow­ers
reaches into a variety of or­ganizations
throughout the cam­pus.
She is Mortar Board Presi­dent,
Chairman of the Judiciary
Council of W.S.G.A., Junior Sen­ator,

Enter JUSTICE!
ON the afternoon of Friday, November 4,
a Negro man was brutally beaten three
times at three locations to which he was
hauled by his assailants. That man may die
as a result of injuries suffered in the three
attacks. The assailants, possibly soon-to-be
murderers, are employees of this univer­sity.
We are sickened by this instance, ap­palled
that we have been instructed to
"keep this thing quiet," and even more dis­gusted
that no action, not even an inquiry
has been taken with the two men, though
scores of witnesses to the assault are avail­able
and talking.
We would abhor this state of Alabama
being stigmatized by the term of "anarchy"
as is our westward neighbor who acquits
white citizens guilty of severe crimes tow­ard
men of black skin. We are far removed
from integrationist philosophy and demand
that point be taken clearly, but we and any­one
of human mind would regard this sort
of conduct as damnable and punishable by
appropriate penalty. We will not allow the
quietus put on our voice, and we insure our
readers that it will become increasingly
noisy until some form of action develops
in this case.
This city is facing a potential bombshell
if justice does not soon follow its course.
The Negro community off Wire Road is re­ported
enraged, heavily armed out of fear
for like fates to themselves. Should the
slightest spark fly, it could be gross.:•."•
Let Specialists Specialize
SOON, the newly-written Auburn Univer­sity
Alma Mater will be sent through ap­propriate
channels with approval being
sought for its permanent status.
Before the Student Senate, President's
Office, and Board of Trustees approve a
new Alma Mater, we think a professional
composer should be allowed to rework the
words. In our estimation this temporary
product, non-professionally composed, just
doesn't demand the loyalty or hold the
beauty of Bill Wood's original musical tri­bute
to API.
We mean to step on no toes, but simply
view it better to leave important things to
specialists. Soldiers should wage war, teach­ers
teach, athletes play ball, and compos­ers
write musical lyrics.
Political Ingenuity . . .
WITH the motives, the pandering to pre­judice
men must exercise in getting
elected to important public office t h e se
days, intelligent citizens say the more cap­able
Americans are steering clear of gov­ernment.
Why? Because there is evidently
some correlation between great leadership
and integrity!
It is more certain than ever that cun­ning,
insincere moves by office-seekers are
being accepted, even condoned by America
as part of the "game of politics." Take the
case of President-Elect Kennedy's interces­sion
in affairs of the state of Georgia just
prior to election day.
Kennedy, of course, in an obvious at­tempt
to draw the more populous northern
vote in sacrifice of some southern support
he regarded negligible, phoned Governor
Ernest Vandiver in Atlanta when rabble-rouser
Martin Luther King was arrested on
a speeding charge. Kennedy demanded
King's immediate release. Nixon played it
quiet.
After the Kennedy win, an Atlanta Jour­nal
article quoted various Southern Demo­cratic
and Republican leaders' opinions of
the King affair, and respective actions taken
by Kennedy and Nixon. In matter-of-fact
account, much as a Monday morning quar­terback
would discuss the logic of his team
going for the fourth down field goal in
preference to a touchdown, each man—ac­cording
to his political affiliation—stated
either that Kennedy figured his best "po­litical
move" was to act on behalf of King
or that Nixon considered taking Kennedy's
courses of action but was afraid it would
cost him too much southern vote, in face
of a forecast Republican breakthrough in
Enough!
WHEN a controversy in this newspaper is
stretched over such a lengthy period of
time as was the Carlisle Towery vs. Engi­neers
slugfest of two Plainsman volumes
past, the Towery-Fraternities issue of last
year, and now the W. H. Byrd vs. Plains­man
marathon, it is unfair to that vast ma­jority
of unbiased readers who quickly be­come
sick and tired of it all!
Although we doubt that columnist Har­ris
will adhere to Byrd's demand for re­traction
of the recent editorial column cri­ticizing
his actions, as outlined in today's
letter to the editor, we will allow Mr. Byrd
the last word by printing this letter with­out
answer or further derogatory comment
regarding him.
In interpreting Mr. Byrd's numerous ar­ticles
and letters in which he plays upon
such terms as "dank bluebirdism," "orange
and blue glasses" and "The Altar of the
Almighty Auburn Spirit," we gather that
his principal arguments hold Auburn as
imperfect and that our people should not
hide behind the Auburn Spirit to fool them­selves
into believing so, and thus deterring
progress here. With Mr. Byrd on these
points, we are in full agreement. Our con­ception
of a fruitful "Spirit" includes strin­gent
endeavor to detect Auburn's faults
and make them good.
So in our estimation, purely hindsight
that unfortunately was not foresight, there
has been absolutely nothing gained through
allowing that chaos which started on these
pages last spring, fully half a year ago, to
be revived. We are at fault for not using
our powers of editing as they should have
been used—to keep this sort of thing out
of the paper after it has run its due course
and nothing other than petty name-calling
remains. We now assure our disgusted
readers that future battles of conflicting
personalities will not be driven into the
ground here before your uninterested eyes!
Maybe Not Futile...
FOR students of Auburn who would join
our taking positive action in quest of
convincing the Council of Deans that they
should revise that university regulation
which penalizes students for dropping
courses after two weeks of the quarter even
though passing, it may not be the futile
battle that we prophesied on this page last
week.
In regards to a concluding statement we
made last issue in our editorial entitled
"Why . . . This Rule," we have received
encouraging comment from a member of
the Council, who prefers to remain anony­mous.
He is satisfied with the regulation as
is, but for sake of objectivity, says, " . . . I
can not agree with the statement in the
editorial that 'our quest for revision is most
probably futile in the face of overwhelm­ing
power.' It may not be futile. During
my numerous years on the Council of
Deans, no request for such a regulation as
was proposed by the editorial (that stu­dents
passing courses be allowed to drop
without penalty at any time throughout the
quarter) has been proposed to the Council
as far as I know, nor has anyone asked me
to justify the regulation."
At the Council's next meeting, w& will
enter a formal request that some accept­able
regulation along the lines discussed be
made to supersede the present one, which
we deem as unfair to students who, pass­ing
courses wish to drop them but are way­laid
by threat of failing marks recorded for
drops made toter than two weeks into the
quarter. We request the backing of any
student who views the situation in this
same light as we, and will be willing to
pass his views on to the Council.
Succeed or fail, it would be gratifying
merely to have student opinion firmly con­certed
here in intelligent effort designed to
better the Auburn student aggregate.

KNOWLEDGE LAG ! . .
Good Philosophy Department In School,
Mark Of Finest Institutions Of Learning
By JIM BULLINGTON
MERELY ASSUMING the name
"University" in no way really
makes an institution a true uni­versity.
In Auburn's case, how­ever,
there are signs that Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute is dead
and that Auburn is now fast be­coming
a university.
One of the most encouraging of
these signs is the awakening to
the fact that the subject of philo­sophy
does exist. Auburn, as most
people know, now has a good
philosophy department, and stu­dent
interest in the philosophy
courses is running righ. A philo­sophy
department does not, of
course, make a university great,
but on the other hand there are
no really great universities with­out
philosophy departments.
This is one of the marks of the
finest institutions of higher learn­ing.
APATHY
Unfortunatly, however, there is
a great lack of knowledge of this
most important subject here at
Auburn, and certainly among the
Auburn population in general.
Usually, when one makes serious
mention of the word "philoso­phy,"
the query is made, "Philo­sophy?
What the hell is that good
for?" This apathy is appaling.
Why should anyone seek to
know something about philoso­phy?
Isn't that something for
freaks and pedagogues in ivory
towers?
Philosophy and philosophers
probably have more influence on
your life than any other one sub­ject.
Why is this? Consider: The
philosophy of Voltaire, Montigne,
and Rousseau was the chief factor
in determining the course of both
the French and American Revo­lutions.
Consider: Most of our greatest
scientists have been influenced by
philosophy and its branch called
metaphysics. In fact, all of mathe­matics
is based on logic.
Consider: Our American public
education system is based on the
philosophy, albeit many people
consider it an asinine philosophy,
of John Dewey.
Countless more examples could
be cited. So much for reasons to
study philosophy. Now let us con­sider
what happens when people
have no knowledge of philosophy.
One of the most important and
most basic branches of philoso­phy
is logic. Now what we com­monly
hear called logic is in real­ity
the stupidest if illogic. This
illogic is most readily seen in
some of our television commer­cials.
If I see a television com­mercial
which implies that beau­tiful
women are always readily
seduced by men using B-ryllcreme,
then isn't it only logical to assume
that I top may be a great lover if
only I buy a few gross of the
stuff? Or isn't it equaly logical
to asume that if Micky Mantle
eats Wheaties, smokes Camels,
and drinks Schlitz, then if I want
to be a great baseball star, I
should do the same? Evidently,
the vast majority of Americans
think they should.
Then take the pseudo-philoso­phy
we oftten see among mfftry
supposed intellectuals. If we have
no knowledge of true philosophy,
we might consider the tripe they"
spout forth to be very learned and
act accordingly. This would cer­tainly
be disastrous.
PSEUDOISM
One group of these pseudo-philosophers
goes under the lead­ership
of that master of nonsense,
Jack Kerouac, a man who can
take a conglomeration of words
and manage to say less with them
than any other modern author.
Their basic tenet seems to be "To
hell with society. I am an indi­vidual."
In reality, they are band­ing
together to form a counter-society
of their own. A real indi­vidualist
would grow a beard on
one side of his face, wear a tux­edo
with tennis shoes, and alter­nate
his musical taste between
Beethoven and Kitty Wells. He
certainly wouldn't be a bearded,
sloppy, jazz fan who is conform­ing
to others just like hjjfi.
A good knowledge of true
philosophy can save us from
many gaping pitfalls of error.

DID YOU hear about the girl who
soaked her strapless evening
gown in coffee so that it would
stay up all night?
It has been suggested that you
attend the church of your choice
while there is still time.
In case you haven't heard, there
is a game going around the frat­ernities
entitled "Button, button,
here comes the housemother."
People who live in glass houses
shouldn't.
An egotist is a man who thinks
that if he hadn't been born, peo­ple
would want to know why not.
The three most important things
in the world—a cocktail before
and a nap after.
He who gets too big for his
britches will be exposed in the
end.
No man is completely worth­less,
he can always serve as a
horrible example.
The fact that God made woman
last is that He probably didn't
want any advice while he created
the rest of the universe.
Women are just like cigarettes
—a fact you must admit, you can't
enjoy them fully until you get
them lit.
They say that love' is blind and
that is probably the reason so
many fellows have to feel their
way around.
Injustice Done Ag Students By Jurisprudence Committee;
Political Affairs Superintendent Not Blameless In Election
JOKES
They laughed at Watt, too, until
he invented the Watt Schmacallit.
An old gent was passing a busy
intersection when a large St. Ber­nard
ran by and knocked him
down.
A moment later, a Crosley car
skidded around the corner and in­flicted
further damage. A by­stander
helped him to his feet, and
someone asked if the dog had hurt
him.
"Well," he answered, "the dog
didn't hurt so much, but that tin
can tied to his tal nearly killed
me."
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter to clear
up many conflicting ideas and
statements on the past school
election of the President of the
• School of Agriculture.
First, I think a great injustice
has been done mainly to the stu­dents
in the School of Agriculture,
and in general to the Auburn stu­dent
body, by the recent ruling of
the Jurisprudence Committee re­quiring
that the President of the
School of Agriculture be appointed
by the President of the Student
Body. There are contradicting
statements in the Constitution
concerning this matter; however
the ruling of the committee paves
the way for a political appoint­ment
which might possible be very
detrimental to the Ag School.
I attended the first meetings of
the Ag Council (over which the
President of the Ag School pre­sides),
and we discussed many
sweeping changes and' improve­ments
in the Ag School. If the
President of the Student Body ap­pointed
a president, he very like­ly
would not know the person's
qualifications as neither would
two-thirds of the Student Senate;
the appointment would be entire­ly
political and might possibly be
opposed by a majority of the stu­dents
in Ag School. I think this is
a basic injustice to the freedom of
choice which is our proud inheri­tance.
Now turning from this matter
to the topic of the recent disquali­fications
of. both candidates for
the presidency of the School of
Agriculture.
The Political Affairs Superin­tendent,
Jimbo Rogers, has re­peatedly
said since the election
that it was entirely the parties'
fault that they put up persons who
were disqualified. It is just not
logical that the parties would put
up students whom they had any
doubt about as to their qualifica­tions.
The only answer can be that
the rules were not made known
and thoroughly understood by the
parties. I attended both party
meetings of the All Campus Party
and not one time was the rule of
having to be classified a Senior
brought up. Also, I personally told
the Political Affairs Superinten­dent
that I was a junior, evidently
he did not know the rules him­self.
I think it would be in very
poor taste if Mr. Rogers said any­thing
more about it not. being his
fault.
I have let this matter rjde wait­ing
on the decision of the Juris­prudence
Committee, but now I
think it is time for something to
be done to right the wrongs which
have been done. Therefore, I
would suggest the following chan­ges
in the election procedure:
(1) That the Political Affairs
Chairman attend the meetings of
both political parties and clearly
state and emphasize all of the
qualification rules.
(2) That candidates for the
presidency of Schools be required
to have been in school at least six
quarters and to not have failed'
more than ten hours instead of the
present qualification of being
classified a senior.
.(3) That the Qualifications
Board review the qualifications of
every candidate before the election
begins, as is supposedly its present
job.
(4) That any changes made in
the election procedure be made
by a responsible committee and'
not by the Political Affairs Sup­erintendent
as it was stated they
would be in the article in The
Plainsman.
I love Auburn and believe in it,
but because these injustices have
been done and the true facts not
revealed, I think some major
changes should be made.
Sincerely,
Rob Langford

Student of Mr. Bliss
Condones His Instruction
Dear Editor:
After reading the letters by Mr.
George Lanier concerning Mr.
Russell Bliss, Professor of Socio­logy,
AU, I became very much
disturbed. The first letter directly
implied that Mr. Bliss has com­munistic
leanings, and that he is
spreading communism in t he
classroom. The second letter, al­though
a partial retraction of the
first, accused Mr. Bliss of being a
materialist, and spreading mater­ialism.
These accusations are evi­dently
based on Mr. Lanier's in­terpretations
of lecture material
given by Mr. Bliss in this course.
I have also taken Mr. Bliss' So­ciology
course. I did not find that
Mr. Bliss was "spreading com­munism
or materialism" in any
way. The word that should apply
here is "explaining." An under­standing
of communism, far from
being detrimental, is a necessity
in the world today if we are to
fight the evils of the communis­tic
doctrine. Mr. Bliss tries to
convey this understanding. He
certainly makes no attempt to in­doctrinate
students into the realm
of communism or materialism.
The charges made by Mr. Lanier
are serious, and although they
certainly appear to be ill-founded,
they could have damaging effects
on Mr. Bliss' reputation and out­standing
record. If there is no
more evidence than thus far
shown by Mr. Lanier, I would
suggest that he drop the matter
before it develops into an un­necessary
controversy.
Yours truly,
Homer Fisher, Jr.

Towery 'All Wet'
According To Grid Fan
Dear Editor:
In reference to Carlisle Tow-ery's
article concerning the sup­posed
overemphasis on football
on this campus, I would like to
say that, while his main idea that
football should not be the major
interest at an institution of higher
learning is quite logical, he has
made some statements that are
quite untrue.
Admittedly "football's contri­bution
to the academic commun­ity
is superficial," but it does
have a definite place—as an enter­tainment-
providing extracurricu­lar
activity. To say that a college
campus would be complete with­out
some enjoyment outside of
the pursuit of knowledge is pre­posterous
to those of us who de­sire
to have a well-rounded col­lege
career.
I firmly believe that football
here at Auburn and other colleges
has a definite character-building
effect. Any activity that calls for
such rigid self-discipline must
certainly build character. If some
of the narrow-minded people on
this campus who speak of our
football players as "apes" and
"meatheads" would r i s e above
their petty jealousies and envy of
those who have achieved a degree
of reknown in that field, and find
out something about t h e boys
themselves—as more than mere
numbers on a gridiron—the char­acter
of so many of these boys
would be quite evident. Certainly
there are those who are: not
worthy of note characjter-wise,
but this is true of any given group
of people, is it not? ..,..., ,,,u i.
As for the statement that "foot­ball
is no longer played for en­joyment,"
I believe MK Towery
is overstepping the boundry of
his knowledge, and has assuredly
failed to take the time to investi­gate
the situation in making such
an unfounded statement. The boys
who have given their time and ef­forts
to give us a football team
of which anyone connected with
Auburn University can be proud,
love both the sport itself and the
self-satisfaction received from the
height of physical fitness they
must maintain. It is beyond my
comprehension how any intelli­gent
person could believe that
monetary coercion would be suf­ficient
to induce a boy to submit
to the stringent and time-consum­ing
training to which our athletes
are subjected. I should think that,
except to the most narrow person,
it would be evident that the ut­most
reason must surely be the
desire to play football.
While football is certainly not
the great panacea some would
have it be, it is wonderful enter­tainment
and provides good fun
for Auburn students. And you
can count on this.—Let the little
people fight as they may, Auburn
football is here to stay, and most
of us are mighty glad of it.
Sincerely,
Ann Barber

Visitor Says Men
Deserve Auburn Hall
Dear Sir:
This past weekend I was fort­unate
to be a guest of one of the
students of your university. Never
before have I experienced such
exuberant spirit among college
students — especially after Au­burn's
breath taking victory over
Georgia!
While at Auburn, I learned that
Auburn Hall is to become a wo­men's
dormitory in the not-too-distant
future. This, to me, is be­ing
more than unjust to a congre­gation
of young men who are de­voted
to their residence. Although
my visit was brief, it afforded
me ample time to witness the true
fellowship and brotherhood ex­isting
between these men. Why
should the gentlemen of Auburn
Hall be forced to give up what
has been a home to them? If there
is not adequate housing for woT
men students, they should not be
accepted. I firmly believe that
the education of the male should
be placed before that of the fe­male.
The majority of women at­tend
college only to receive their
"Mrs. degree," How can men he
educated if they have no available
decent living facilities?
I write this letter as a plea to
those responsible for this injus­tice
that they might realize what
they have done to dissolve a part
of the Auburn spirit. It is also
my fervent hope that the entire
student body of Auburn will real­ize
the plight of the men of Au­burn
Hall and stand behind them
in their effort to preserve what
should rightfully be theirs.
Sincerely yours,
Barbara Ann Wyatt

Retraction Demanded
By The Injured Byrd
Gentlemen:
Despite inferences to the con­trary,
in a column of the Nov. 4,
1960 Plainsman under Mr. Hal
Harris' by-line, I am a conscien­tious
supporter of meaningful
criticism, coldly, logically thought
out, always supported by fact, and
tactfully presented. I believe in
good, clean journalism. For this
reason I am making this formal
request that certain unfactual,
misleading, and personally dam­aging
statements which were
printed in a column under Mr.
Harris' by-line in the November
4, 1960 Plainsman be publicly re­tracted
and apologized for in print
before December 8, 1960.
Certain damages suffered by
me as a result of said column are
in evidence. I further make this
formal request for retraction and
apology in the hope that further
damage does not ensue.
I herewith list those mislead­ing,
unfactual and damaging
items as they were presented in
said column:
1. In the first paragraph of said
column, Mr. Harris implies that
I, William H. Byrd, am a "rabble
rouser." I quote from Webster's
New World Dictionary, College
Edition: "rabble rouser: a person
who tries to arouse people to vio­lent
action by appealing to their
emotions, prejudices, etc.; dema­gogue."
2. In the first paragraph of said
column it is implied that I, Wil­liam
H. Byrd, am personally
working "with every available
weapon to obliterate the Auburn
Spirit."
3. In the second paragraph of
said column there is an implica­tion
that I, William H. Byrd, have
committed certain "wanton acts."
I quote the second definition of
"wanton": " "unchaste, lewd, im­moral"
(ibid.). The word "wan­ton"
used as an adjective to modi­fy
"acts" has a meaning that can
be taken as the definition quoted
above.
4. I quote from the third para­graph
of said column: "To quote
a passage maliciously depicting
Byrd's so-called "conservative"
enemies in his biting letter of last
week, regarding present editorial
policy of this newspaper and its
effects on Byrd's avowed enemies
. . . " I quote (ibid.): "enemy: a
person who hates another and
wishes to injure him; a person
hostile to an idea, cause, etc.; ad­versary,
foe . . ."
5. In the fourth paragraph I am
quoted as saying "Conservatives
whitewashing Auburn." This is a
misquote.
6. In the fifth paragraph of said
column there is a direct claim that
a particular column in the Plains­man
under my by-line w a s a
"scurrilous Byrd attack." I quote
(ibid.): "scurrilous: 1. coarse,
vulgar, foul-mouthed; using in­decent
or abusive language. 2.
containing coarse vulgarisms or
indecent abuse."
7. In t h e sixth paragraph of
said column it is implied that I,
William H. Byrd, was involved in
the "hijacking" of a Plainsman
issue.
8. In the seventh paragraph of
said column it is said: "We gather
from Byrd's recent letter that he
and other cults of 'free thinkers
. . . ' " There is the claim that I
am a cult, and that I am a free­thinker.
I quote "cult: 1. a system
of religion worship or ritual. 2.
devoted attachment to, or extra­vagant
admiration for, a person,
priciple, etc.; especially when re­garded
as a fad: as, the cult of
nudism. 3. a group of followers,
sect." I quote (ibid.): "free
thinking: believing in f r ee
thought." I quote (ibid.): "free
thought: opinions about religion
formed independently of tradi­tion,
authority, or established be­lief."
I defend the right of journal­istic
criticism as the basis of a
free and indispensible press. I
defend the right to criticise ac­tions,
ideals and even personali­ties
within responsible limits. But
I refuse to accept misquotes, un­founded,
damaging implications,
and unfactual claims represented
as incontrovertible fact as crit­icism.
Sincerely,
William H. Byrd

Senate Initiates Organizations Council;
Will Review Activities, Accomplishments
BY TOM FOWLER
News Editor
The Auburn Student Senate has
initiated a Council on Student
Organizations. The council will
review the activities, purposes
and accomplishments of each stu­dent
organization on the campus.
If they feel the group is not
worthy of their position, the
council will recommend that they
be put on probation or deleted.
At the present time there are
112 officially recognized organiza­tions
and seven serving their pro­bationary
period on this campus.
Many of these organizations were
chartered in the early 1900's and
are no longer striving for their
original purpose. At t h e same
time many of these organizations
are overlapping one another in
their charters and activities.
Organizations desiring to come
on the campus must first appear
before the council. With the re­commendations
of the council, the
Senate will make the final deci­sion
as to the fate of the organi­zation.
The council, is composed of Lin
Monroe, Carolyn Wilson, Brian
Mitchell, and Janice Saur. Dot
Sarris, Superintendent of Organi
zations will act as chairman and
Linda Ransom will act as secre­tary.
Herb Reinhart, Activities
Advisor will also be on the coun­cil.
A meeting will be held each
Monday at 4 p.m. to review one
organization. The president of the
organization or a representative
in case of his absence will appear
before the council and present
information needed to aid jn
making a report to the Senate.
Each organization will receive a
notice of two weeks before his
appointment with the council.
Dot Sarris says, "Many of our
organizations are outdated a nd
inactive, yet still have the same
facilities and privileges as other
organizations. We feel that though
the efforts of this council we can
help them and in turn contribute
to building a greater Auburn."

HOW TO BEAT THE BEAT GENERATION
My cousin Herkie Nylet is a sturdy lad of nineteen summers
who has, we all believed until recently, a lively intelligence and
an assured future. Herkie's father, Walter 0 . Nylet, is as every­one
knows, president of the First National Artificial Cherry
Company, world's largest maker of artificial cherries for ladies'
hats. Uncle Walter had great plans for Herkie.' Last year he
sent Herkie to the Maryland College of Humanities, Sciences,
ana Aruncial Cherries, and he intended, upon Herkie's gradu­ation,
to find him a nice fat wife and take him into the firm as
a full partner.
Could a young man have more pleasing prospects? Of course
not. But a couple of months ago, to everyone's consternation,
Herkie announced that he was not going into the artificial cherry-business.
Nor was he going to stay in college. "I am," said
Herkie, "a member of the Beat Generation. I am going to San
Francisco and grow a beard."
Well sir, you can imagine the commotion in the family when
Herkie went traipsing off to San Francisco! Uncle Walter would
have gone after him and dragged him home, but unfortunately
he was right in the middle of the artificial cherry season. Aunt
Thelma couldn't go either because of her old leg trouble. (One
of her legs is older than the other.)
*£&££?%
So I went. I searched San Francisco for weeks before I found
Herkie living under the counter of a Pronto Pup stand. "Herkie,
how are you?" I cried, looking distraughtly upon his tangled
beard, his corduroy jacket, his stricken eyes.
"Beat," said Herkie.
I offered him a Marlboro and felt instantly better when he
took it because when one smokes Marlboros, one cannot be too
far removed from the world. One still has, so to speak, a hold
on the finer things of life—like good tobacco, like easy-drawing
filtration, like settling back and getting comfortable and enjoy­ing
a full-flavored smoke. One is, despite all appearances, basi­cally
happiness-oriented, fulfillment-directed, pleasure-prone.
"Herkie, what are you doing with yourself?" I asked.
"I am finding myself," he replied. "I am writing a novel in
the sand with a pointed stick. I am composing a fugue for
clavier and police whistle. I am sculpting in experimental ma­terials—
like English muffins."
"And wliat do you do for fun?" I asked.
"Come," he said and took me to a dank little night club
where men in beards and women in basic burlap sat on orange
crates and drank espresso. On a tiny stage stood a poet reciting
a free-form work of his own coinpoeifciofl entitled Excema: The
Story of a Boy while behind h»u a jazz trio played 200 choruses
of Tin Roof Blues.
"Herkie," said I, "comehome with me to the artificial cherries."
"No," said Herkie, so sadly I went home to tell Uncle Walter
the bad news. He was less distressed than I had feared. Jt seenig
Uncle Walter has another son, a quiet boy named Edvorts, about
whom he had completely forgotten, and today Edvorts is in
business with Uncle Walter and Herkie is beat in San Francisco,
and everyone is happy.
* * *
And you too will be happy—with'Marlboros, or if you prefer
an unfiltered smoke, with Philip Morris. Try the brand-new
Philip Morris king-size Commander—long, mild, and leis-urely.
Have a Commander—welcome aboardl
ber of the U. £. team is a recog­nition
of his outstanding research
using radioisotopes. He has ra­ted
radioactive materials since 1955
in studies of animal systemic iiir-secticides.
He has conducted ex­tensive
studies on metabolism and
residue in edible animal products
in a project financed by a U. S.
Public Health Service grant. His
paper at the symposium will be
"Metabolism of Systemic and Oth­er
Recent Insecticides by Ani­mals."
:
Travel plans call for Dr. Ar­thur
to leave Nov. 22. He will visit
London, Paris, Frankfort, Rome,
and Istanbul on the way to Bom­bay.
Following the meeting, he will
return by way of Bangkok, Hong
Kong, Tokyo, and Honolulu. He
will return to Auburn Dec. 15.
A native of Phil Campbell, Ar­thur
has been on the Auburn staff
since 1951, except for two years'
leave of absence for doctoral study.
He has served as graduate assis­tant,
assistant in entomology, as­sistant
entomologist, and was pro­moted
to his present rank Septem­ber
1, 1960.
In addition to his research du­ties,
he has taught in the master
of agriculture program and is now
senior professor for doctoral stu­dies.
Dr. Arthur is an Auburn grad­uate,
earning both B.S. and M.S.
degrees here. He received his doc­torate
from the University of Wis­consin
in 1957.

Role Of Gauges, Measurements Lab
Important Part In Aiding Excellence
BY JIM BULLINGTON
An important part in the drive
of Auburn University's School of
Engineering toward greater overall
excellence is the gauges and meas­urements
laboratory.
This lab is concerned with the
science of measurement as related
to industrial production and! con­trol.
In it students are taught the
scienee of measurement, and im­portant
measurements in the
School of Engineering's research
efforts are conducted.
After World War II the Navy
had a large surplus of. measuring
equipment in their gauge labora­tory
in Washington. In an effort
to help train more people in meas­urement
and to decentralize an
important part of the defence ef­fort
the Navy selected seven uni­versities
throughout the country to
receive the equipment. Auburn
was one of these schools.

With t h e equipment, Auburn
and the other schools set up
gauges and measurements labora­tories.
The Navy has since main­tained
and supplemented the
equipment.
A course in gauges and meas­urements
is required in the indus­trial
management curriculum at
Auburn. It may also be taken as
an elective by other students in
the School of Engineering and
other schools on campus.
An average of 60 students takes
the course each quarter. It is de­signed
to acquaint the students
with measuring devices and meth­ods
used in manufacturing; to
teach them the standard practices
and standards of dimensional con­trol;
and to instill in them prin­ciples
they can use in the selec­tion
of equipment and methods for
specialized jobs.
All of the equipment in the lab
measures to tolerances within one
ten-thousandth of an inch, and
some of it measures to one one-millionth
of an inch.
"We have facilities to do almost
any kind of investigation of the
dimensional fitness of parts," says
Dr. L. J. Haynes, professor of in­dustrial
laboratories. He teaches
the course, along with professors
H. C. Goolsby and R. A. Patter­son.

Columnist Towery Fumbles
In Attack On College Ball
By JIM BULLINGTON
"The game (football) is now at cross purposes with the aims
of higher learning and should be de-emphasized or completely
removed from the university campus."
Thus spake Carlisle Towery in his football column on last
week's Plainsman editorial page. I take vehement exception to
Mr. Towery's views on this subject, which are in most cases un-factual
and illogical.
First, let me state that I agree with one (and only one) para­graph
in Mr. Towery's column. The university is in fact first
and foremost a place for intelectual endeavor, and football should
occupy a secondary place. Mr. Towery, however, would seem­ingly
deny it this secondary place which it does and rightly
should hold.
Mr. Towery states that specilization in football has mini­mized
the possibility of "the only sound justification for foot­ball's
alliance with education—the growth and development of
its participants." What is our modern society but specilization?
Since we can't all be universal geniuses, we develop such skills
and abilities we may possess in a process of specialization; in in­dustry,
in scholarship, and indeed, in all fields of human endea­vor.
Why are we not justified in doing the same in football?
An excellent English professor might make a mediocre
mathematics professor, or a top-notch engineer might make a
poor accountant. In the same way, if a superb linebacker is not
the best running fullback, why is it wrong to use him. where his
natural ability makes him the most useful?
"College football is now big time football, sponsored and
perpetuated chiefly by hyper-loyal alumni who have allowed
their allegiences to go astray and who have seen fit to evaluate
the university in terms of. the number of victories its team can
serve up," says Mr. Towery. Football, I admit, does create alumni
loyalty, but I do not hold this to be a bad thing, as Mr. Towety'.'•
evidently does. It is a proven fact that alumni donations go up
as the school's football ranking goes up. These donations are
used for better teacher's salaries, new physical facilities, and other
things of benefit to the school. Is football-fostered alumni loyalty
such an evil thing?
"College football is no longer a sport for amateurs. It ope­rates
under the professional practices of promoting, recruiting,
and paying." Mr. Towery is again making a generalized statement,
unsupported by any semblance of fact. I would suggest he visit
Graves Center to find out just what salaries Auburn players do

Auburn Battles FSU In Final Home Grid Match
Tigers Gunning For 30th Consecutive Cliff Hare Victory;
Seminoles Pack Punch Despite Unimpressive 3-5-1 Mark
. x" MR. TRICKY, Auburn's Bryant Harvard, starts out on one of his unpredictable option plays.
Bryant worked this one to perfection in last Saturday's sweet-revenge 9-6 victory over Georgia
as he faked to the halfback trailing, eluded Bobby Walden, and ran for good yardage.
BY GORDON MURPHREE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Tigers play their
last home game of the season
tomorrow when the Florida
State University Seminoles in­vade
Cliff Hare Stadium. Kick-off
time is set for 2 p.m. and a
crowd of about 20,000 is ex­pected.
Coach Bill Peterson's Semin­oles
will show Auburn fans a
unit system somewhat like that
of LSU. They have a two-way
starting unit, the Chiefs, and
the War Party, offensive spec­iality
unit.
FSU has won three games
and lost five and tied one so
far this season, but this is a
better team than the record
shows. They lost three games
by a total of six points; 3-0 to
Florida, 15-13 to Mississippi
Southern, and 7-6 to Houston.
And they looked far better in
a 25-7 loss to the University of
Miami than the score indicates.
* * *
FSU WILL have their hands
full Saturday as the Auburn
Tigers will be gunning for their
eighth straight win of the sea­son
and 30th consecutive home
victory.
The Seminoles will be at a
definite weight disadvantage in
the line. They average 202
pounds per man while the Tiger
lines average out to 225 pounds
per man. The backfield weight
will be about the same at 175
pounds per man.
Florida State is expected to
go to the air Saturday in its
bid to upset the Tigers. Doing
the Seminole throwing will be
sophomore quarterbacks Eddie
Feely, the 5-7, 159-pound en­gineer
of FSU's two-way start­ing
Chiefs unit, and Ed Trancy-gier,
the 6-0, 205-pound red­head
who may see action at
both quarterback and halfback
on the War Party, FSU's offen­sive
speciality unit.
* * *
FEELY HAS been a very
consistent passer all season. He
has completed 59 per cent of
his passes, hitting on 48 of 82
attempts for a total of 414
yards. Feely had his best day
against Miami, completing 14 of
18 passes for 47 yards. He also
scored the Seminoles' l o ne
touchdown against the Hurri­canes
on a dazzling 21-yard
run.
Ed Trancygier has also pro­ven
his ability at quarterback
for the Seminoles this season.
He teamed witli end George
Tillman for FSU's touchdown in
a 7-6 loss to Houston last Sat­urday.
He is also a very fine

BY DAVID YOUNGE
Plainsman Sports Writer
The University of Mississippi,
noted for Miss Americas and
Ail-Americans, marched one
step closer to the 1960 SEC
championship as they broke the
Knoxville hex and walloped the
Vols 24-3. . . . . - . ' . - - •
With committees from the
Blue Bonnet, Sugar, Gator, and
Orange Bowls looking on, the
Rebels, led by Jake Gibbs, Bob­by
Crespino, and Jim "Hoss"
Anderson, displayed an awesome
offensive show of might. This
was win number 108 for Coach
Vaught since going to Mississip­pi
in 1946. Only a November 26
meeting with Mississippi State
at Oxford stands between Ole
Miss and their first SEC cham­pionship
since 1955.
: J : * *
GRANT FIELD in Atlanta be­came
the scene of another fierce
battle Saturday as the Crimson
Tide- moved into the thick of
the race. Richard O'Dell, on the
last play of the game, kicked a
field goal from the 14-yard line
and gave Bear's boys their
fourth conference win of the
season againts one loss and one
tie. It is a mathmatical impos­sibility
for the Tide to even
share the conference crown, but
Alabama could go bowling on
•New Year's Day, depending on
the outcome of. the rest of the
season.
Florida, in handing Tulane a
21-6 loss Saturday, finished
conference play and gave the
Gators their best SEC record
since they entered the confer­ence.
Florida has been extended
an invitation to the Gator Bowl
but a decision toward it will not
be made until after the final
game with Miami on Nov. 26.
FRANCIS ASBURY Tarken-ton,
1959 All-SEC quarterback
and a prime contender for Ail-
American honors, was beaten at
his own game Saturday as the
Tigers of Auburn made it seven
in a row for the 1960 campaign.
Tarkenton completed nine of 13
for 104 yards, while Bryant Har­vard
completed nine of 12 for
114 yards. The payoff however,
came, once again off the golden
toe of Edmund Covington Dyas,

Four Double-Figure Starters Return
To Give Eavesmen Firm Foundation
By WARREN JONES
Plainsman Sports Writer
"Although every team in the SEC is expected to have
improved over last year, I feel confident that with hard
work and 25 per cent improvement, that Auburn can look
forward to a good season." Thus spoke head basketball
coach Joel Eaves about his Tiger squad.
"The absence of Hart and Mc
Manus leaves a sharp thorn in
our side," continued Eaves, "but
it can be dulled and ultimately
remedied with diligent im­provement."
The starting unit for this year
will be Jimmy Fibbe, David
Vaughn, R a y Groover, and
Porter Gilbert, with four con-campus
character:
tenders for the center spot—
Jim Leonard, Leon Posey, Lay-ton
Johns, or John Helmlinger.
Jimmy Fibbe, who is handi­capped
by an ankle injury,
should be ready for action by
Birmingham Classic time. He,
along with Porter Gilbert have
been selected as team captains
for the coming'season.
Last year Auburn gained the
distinction of b e i n g SEC
champs, and all of starters re­turn
with the exception of Hart
and McManus.
All starters finished aver­aging
over 11 points a game.
Fibbe topped the list with a
total of 271 points and an aver­age
of 12.3 points per game.
Groover ranked second with 254
points for a 11.6 average.

receive before he goes out on this shaky limb. He can cite in­stances,
it is true, where college football players have been paid,
but he has no right to claim that this is a universal practice.
"It (the kind of football that exists here now) is restricted
to the few, and those exploited few are used primarily to better
the coaches' records and the institution's reputation." I wonder
how many football players Mr. Towery talked to in gleaning this
amazing fact that they are "exploited?' I wonder if he realizes
that the majority of football players wouldn't be financially able
to go to school without their athletic scholarships. I wonder how
many players have told him that they were being exploited.
There are a great many things that Mr. Towery needs to find
out before he says that football should be "removed from the
university campus." I wonder if he knows that because of foot­ball,
the athletic department is the only department of the whole
school which is self-supporting. I wonder if he has a plan for
securing money for the intramurals program, minor sports, band
scholarships, and other activities now supported by the athletic
department here from money now made on football.
Mr. Towery abhors in his column the fact that the school lib­rary
closes at 1 p.m. on the Saturdays of home games. I have my
doubts that Mr. Towery is a better librarian than the present
staff at Auburn who have chosen to take this action. I further­more
think it is a downright shame that he can't find in the
other 74 hours a week that the library is open sufficient time to
do his .reference work.
"It (football) manages to dominate the fall quarter, expend­ing
the enthusiasms which belong in the channels of. academic
endeavor," says Mr. Towery. He further states that "It usurps the
excitement rightfully owed to the classroom."
Mr. Towery states that we should de-emphasize or completely
do away with college football. He has, however, no concrete pro­posals
as to just how this is to be done. Would he turn our new
multi-million dollar stadium into an open-air library perhaps?
Would he foster alumni loyalty and contributions through an art
show instead of Homecoming? Does he plan to get nation-wide
publicity for Auburn through a taffy-pulling contest? If we are
going to tear down one of the most important and popular phases
of college life, I would suggest that we replace it with something
besides a vacuum.

Wes Roberts can tell you:
"THERE'S NO CEILING FOR A SELF-STARTER
IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS"
When Wes Roberts was nearing the end of
his senior year at San Jose State College, he was
looking for a job with a wide open future. He
found it when he joined Pacific Telephone in
San Francisco.
Here's how Wes tells it: "I remember one of
my first jobs. The boss said, 'Wes, I want you
to work out a plan showing where we'll need
new field operating centers to keep up with
Northern California's growth over the next 10
years.' I didn't know whether I was more happy
or scared."
Wes didn't tell us (but his boss did) that he
handled the report like a pro. And today, as a
division supervisor, he's holding down a key
telephone job.
Wes Roberts' story is not unique in the Bell
Telephone Companies. The telephone business
is growing fast—and men are needed who can
grow just as fast.
Wes can tell you: "We get good training.
But no one nurses you along. We hire managers
—not errand boys. So far as I can see, there's no
ceiling for a self-starter in this business."
If you're a guy like Wes Roberts—if you like
to bite off more than you can chew and then chew
it—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."

Beloved by brides for more than 100 years {1850-1960^
BY NORM CARLSON
Auburn Sports Publicist
In all the fanfare created by
the great efforts of Auburn full­back
Ed Dyas, it has gone rela­tively
unnoticed that quarter­back
Bryant Harvard might set
a new school passing record.
Harvard, who outpassed Geor­gia's
outstanding Francis Tar-kenton
last week, has completed
26 of. 41 passes for 344 yards
with only two interceptions.
This gives him an average of
63.4 percent completion.
The school mark in this de­partment
was set in 1955 by
quarterback Howell Tubbs, who
hit on 57.1 percent of his passes.
HARVARD completed nine of
12 against the Bulldogs for 114
yards compared with Tarken-ton's
nine of 13 for 104. The Ti­ger
senior from Thomasviller Ga.
has not had a pass intercepted
since the Georgia Tech game.

L E F T HALFBACK B ud
Whitehead is the team's leading
rusher with a 3.6-yard aver­age
on 72 carries. He is also the
leading receiver with 19 catches
for 146 yards. He is the leading
punter with a 36.1 average and
has returned nine kickoffs for
161 yards.

THE LAST time Auburn and
FSU met was in 1957, the year
the Tigers won the SEC title
and the national championship.
Auburn's defense held the Sem-inoles
to a minus-29 yards
rushing. The Tigers ran up a
27-0 lead before FSU scored
in the fourth quarter, closing
the final gap to 29-7.
In the other two meetings be­tween
the teams, Auburn won
by scores of 33-0 and 13-7.

Harvard's passes under pres­sure
kept up moving against
Georgia Saturday," says h e ad
coach Ralph Jordan. "He always
calls a fine game and with his
ability to connect on those pass­es
he's keeping the defense loose
and off balance."
Harvard, the passer, is also
the best Tiger pass defender, ac­cording
to statistics. He has
picked off six passes, which ties
him for the school record in that
department.
SOPHOMORE Jimmy Burson,
who played 53 minutes against
Georgia, leads the Tigers in punt
returns (six for 126 yards),
kickoff returns (seven for 215
yards and one TD) and is second
in rushing, interceptions and r e ­ceiving.
Dyas, of course, is the big
noise in statistics. He is the
team's leading rusher, and is the
leading scorer with 56 points,
which equals the amount regis­tered
by Auburn's eight foes.
Dyas now holds the national
record for field goals in career
(16), field goals in one year (12)
and he still has two more games
in which to better both efforts.
Auburn's opponents have still
failed to register a point in the
first quarter and have managed
only three in the third. The Ti­ger's
big period thus far has
been the third, when they have
registered 33.

Phi Kappa Tau and Sigma
Nu emerged as victors in the
semi-finals of the fraternity
touch football playoffs. It was
Heywood Gay for PKT and Har­old
Dorris for SN. Gay led his
PKT teammates in a last quar­ter
spurt to hand SPE it's first
defeat of the season, 7-0. On the
other side of the drill field, Dor­ris
passed for two quick SN
touchdowns and SN coasted to
a 20-6 victory over SC.
PKT vs. SPE
PKT, a fine offensive, team
all season, having amassed a to­tal
of 73 points in four games,
.showed SPE they also had a de­fensive
team. "Brute" Douglas,
John Malone, and' Charles Ir­win
kept the pressure on Ken­nedy,
SPE quarterback, while
Gay and Don Tool were taking
care of pass defense in the PKT
backfield. With two minutes re -
maining in the contest, Gay
passed to Bo Wanniger for 30
yards and a PKT first down on
the SPE three yard line. Jimmy
Goodwin caught a deflected pass
for the PKT TD. The extra point
attempt was good as Scottie
Carson was hit in the end zone
by Gay to make the score 7-0.
That was all PKT needed, al­though
they had to stave off a
last minute rally by SPE. Bill
Kennedy was the offensive show
for SPE, passing 21 times and
completing 14. McGlon hit on 1
of 2 passes. Billy Cobel and Bob­by
Webb were the pass receiv­ers
for SPE, while Thomasino
and McGarrett were the block­ing
backs. Playing good defen­sive
ball on the line for SPE
were Tibbs, Woods, and Whit­ley.

SN vs. SC
Sigma Nu rolled over Sigma
Chi 20-6 behind the passing of
Harold Dorris and the pass r e ­ceiving
of Tommy "Duck" Stone
and George McKee. In the open­ing
minutes of the first quar­ter,
Dorris moved his team
downfield and hit Stone with
two four yard touchdown tosses/
to give SN a 12-0 lead before
the crowd had time to settle
down.
On the first SN drive, Dorris
passed to Bucky Allen and Dex­ter
Brooks to get SN in scoring
position before hitting Stone for
the touchdown. The second drive
was almost identical, but McKee
was Dorris's target moving the
ball downfield. At the start of
the second half, SC came out
fighting as Tom Parrish was on
the receiving end of Ralph Cun­ningham's
passes.
After hitting Parrish with a
34-yarder, Cunningham passed
to Randall Stuart in the SN end
zone for the only SC touchdown
of the game. SN took the kick--
off and started moving again.
Mack Butier was on the receiv­ing
end of a Dorris pass good
for 22 yards. After a couple of
short passes failed, Dorris spot­ted
McKee in the SC end zone
18 yard's away and gave SN an­other
six pointer. SC intercept­ed
a SN pass late in the game
and an attempt to run the ball
out of the end zone failed and
gave SN a safety. This made the
final score 20-6 as the game
ended..
Cunningham and Parrish' were
the offensive stars for SC, while
Dorris, Stone, McKee, and Broks
led the SN offense. Bobby Jervis
and Mack Butler led the SN de­fense.
