Trustees receive
'59 fiscal report
President Ralph B. Draughon submitted the annual re­port
to the Board of Trustees at their Homecoming meeting
Friday afternoon. It was the last annual report of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute; after January 1, t h e official
name will be Auburn University.
The new name was the most j dealt with various aspects of the
Loveliest of the Plains'
recent of important changes noted
in the report covering the' 1958-
59 fiscal year.
The financial statement, pre­pared
for all three divisions by
Executive Vice President David
W. Mullins, analyzed the substan­tial
increase of Auburn's approp­riations
for the current fiscal
year.
Operating funds will be $2,-
041.269 higher this year, and $2,-
234,990 for the second year of the
biennium. This, the largest single
increase in the history of the in­stitution,
will repair the inade­quacies
of the budgets of pre­vious
years.
In addition, a $6,860,700 share
of a revenue bond issue will make
possible construction of a library
and several other badly needed
instructional facilities.
Dr. Mullins cited Auburn's in­creased
participation in the bene­fits
offered by the National De­fense
Education Act.
Sam T. Hurst, d e a n of the
School of Architecture and the
Arts, reported the accreditation
of the Department of Architec­ture
for the full five year period.
The outlook for accreditation of
the Departments of Mechanical
and Electrical Engineering is
bright. Optimistic reports were
submitted by Dean of Faculties
M. C. Huntley and Dean of En­gineering
Fred H. Pumphrey, con­cerning
the visit of the Engineers'
Council for Professional Develop­ment
next spring. V
Several sections of the report
API Emergency Fund Drive init­iated
last, spring.
The report contained state­ments
by the general officers of
the college, the deans and heads
of • schools, and the directors of
the stations and service facilities
of the college. The annual report
is a summary of detailed division
and departmental reports. It is
drafted to give the board a com­prehensive
view of the status of
the institution at the end of the
year.
Among the most pressing needs
of the institution were listed the
increase of funds for the library
program, the construction of an
all-purpose building for athletics
and campus functions drawing
large crowds, and an increase in
both the number of teachers and
their present salary scale.
Dr. Draughon expressed grat­itude
to Governor John Patter­son
and the members of the State
Legislature who were responsible
for Auburn's much needed in­crease
in appropriations.
DIGGING INTO HER PURSE for a contribution to the All-
Campus Fund Drive is this week's Loveliest, Susan Murphree.
"I'm taking my donation," says the thrift-minded Kappa Delta
pledge, "from what I saved by getting this old-model car." A first-quarter
secretarial training freshman from Elba, Susan does her
bookkeeping in Dorm Nine while in Auburn.

Union to hold auction of unclaimed
items next Wednesday afternoon
The Union House Committee
has scheduled an auction of un­claimed
lost and found items for
next Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m.
on the Union Patio. Among the
items to be auctioned are: two
bicycles, about fifty umbrellas,
numerous raincoats, three wat­ches,
and an assortment of other
articles.
Any individual finding an art­icle
should turn it in to the Lost
and Found at the main desk of
the Union Building. If after four
Weeks it is unclaimed, the finder
may claim it. If after the fifth
week neither the finder nor the
loser has claimed it, the article
becomes the property of the Un­ion.
Should an article be found that
is of exceptional value and bears
a name of the owner, an effort
will be made to contact the own­er;
however, this is not always
possible.
Originally the Lost and Found
was located in the office of Build­ings
and Grounds, but in May
1958 it was moved to the Auburn
Union Building because of the
more central location. Since this
relocation, all other departments
of the University have been ur­ged
to bring their articles to the
Union Lost and Found.
The proceeds of the forthcom­ing
auction will be used for a
special project to be proposed by
the Union House Committee,
passed by the Union Board and
approved by President Draughon.
At present, this project has not
been chosen, so the student body
is urged to make suggestions.
Anyone finding two paintings,
missing from the Union Building,
please return them to the Lost
and Found.
NOTICE
The Plainsman news staff will
meet in the Union tomorrow at
four. Writers desiring to remain
on the staff are urged to attend.
schools was the topic for discus­sion
when leaders from the
schools convened yesterday on
the Auburn campus. The group
met at 11 a.m. after which they
enjoyed a luncheon in the Union
Banquet Room. That afternoon
the various committees met in the
Union conference rooms.
Similar meetings h a v e been
held each year since the Auburn-
Alabama football series was re­sumed
in 1948. At the game that
year there was some trouble be­tween
the supporters and stu­dents
of the two schools. Dr. John
Gallerlee, president of the Uni­versity,
and Dr. Ralph Draughon
of API met and decided that the
students themselves should work
out a solution to the problem. Be­fore
the next game a group from
each school met and were success­ful
in promoting measures which
eliminated much of the violence
and trouble of the previous year.
Since that time student leaders
have met alternately on the Au­burn
campus and the campus of
the University of Alabama in Tus­caloosa.
As a result of the meet­ings
the Auburn-Alabama rela­tionship
is one of the best be­tween
two rival schools.
Representing Auburn at the
meeting were: President and Mrs.
Ralph Draughon; Mr. and M r s.
James E. Foy, Coach and Mrs.
Ralph Jordan; Mr. and Mrs. Jeff
Beard; Dean Katharine Cater;
Boolie Hill, SGA president; Char­lie

Auburn Players hit
with musical satire
By MARGIE KIRK
The Auburn Players have scor­ed
with another hit play, The
3oyfriend, a bois'erous musical
comedy by Sandy Wilson. The
^layers' nresentation. directed by
3ob Knowles, opened Oct. 27, and
will run through Friday.
Friday and Saturday night sell­out
crowds saw the fun-poking
•nusical about a young ladies fin­ishing
school in the "roaring
twenties." The heroine, Polly,
played by Ila Cheney, is a sweet
young millionaire's daughter in
love (at first sight) with a poor
delivery boy, Tonv, played by
Hank Conner. About the time
they decide that they can be hap­py
together, fate tears them apart.
However, with the help of Mad­ame
Dubonnet, the head mistress
and authority of boyfriends, (Lois
Clark) poor Polly's trying times
are ended. Polly's misunderstand­ing
father, Percival Browne, is
played by Jim Cooper.
The battle of the sexes goes on
during the story w i t h Polly's
schoolmates pitted against their
swaggering, blazered boyfriends.
Maisie (Barrye Ingram), the epi­tome
of a flapper, and her gay
young blade, Bobby Van Husen
(Tutty Joiner) dance a furious
Charleston a n d a sophisticated
tango.
The flay ends with even Hor-tense
(Kitty Holland), a maid at
the school and perhaps the prim-ist
lady in the group, letting her
hair down. Everyone, even elder­ly
Lord a n d Lady Brockhurst
(Don Thieme and Sandra Hill)
join the festive finale at the car*
nival. The Bearcats, a brassy jazz
ensemble led by Bob Richardson
furnish the musical background.
Against a colorful setting, the
Auburn .Playe rs are successfully
playing this satire on the Contin­entals
to the hilt. Commented J.
B. Ranney, head of the Speech de­partment:
"The Boyfriend is full
of light, color, and sound. The
paceis. rapid, the laughs follow
one another. It's a chance to see
yourself in the '20's. It's wonder-
Iful!" , .
FLAPPER DRESSES PREVAILED in the Union Monday night as representatives of Auburn's
sororities participated in the annual fund drive, Dime-a-Dance. Six young ladies perform the Char­leston

days of active service in the U.S.
Armed Forces since June, 1950,

selection include: (1) literary and
scholastic attainments, (2) quali­ties
of manhood, truthfulness, (3)
exhibition of moral force of char­acter,
(4) physical vigor as shown
in sports. A distinct quality of in­tellect
or character is the require­ment
on which the committees

The All-Campus F u n d Drive
began Monday and is now in full
swing. Various campus groups are
sponsoring many special events
during the week in order to boost
contributions over the goal of $3,-
500 set by ACFD Chairman Ray

AH money collected will be
given to ACFD as the contribu­tion
of WSGA to the Drive.

Eventful weekend makes
Homecoming big success
Magnolia Hall—Category I decorations winner
Homecoming festivities were
highlighted by parties, class re­unions,
gala decorations and
football as nearly 30,000 visit­ors
c a m e to the Plains last

Annual Beauty Ball
set for this month
The ODK-Glomerata Beauty
Ball will be held in the Student
Activities Building, Nov. 20. Plans
for this annual event are now
complete with the securing of en­tertainment.
This year a Battle of
the Bands will take place with the
contestants being the Auburn
Knights Orchestra and the Ala­bama
Cavaliers from the Univer­sity
of Alabama.
According to Bobo Starke, en­tertainment
chairman, these two
bands were contacted so that mu­sic
could be played continuously
by alternating bands. A battle be­tween
the two will be the high­light
of the show.
The climax of the event will be
the presentation of the Glomera-ta
beauty nominees. Twenty-five
beauties chosen from the ones
nominated are presented at the
Ball with the final selection of
Glomerata.
Mr. Robert "Bob" Richardson of
the Auburn Music Department.
This year is his first year as a
permanent instructor in the Mu­sic
Department, although he has
been connected with the faculty
for the past four years as a grad­uate
student and temporary in­structor.
Since his arrival in Auburn,
Richardson has b e e n active in
practically every kind of musical
endeavor on the campus. He has
taught music appreciation, com­position,
and music theory. View­ers
of education TV in Alabama
have known him as moderator of
the "Music From Auburn" series.
He is the director and arranger
for the Auburn Women's Octet,
which has been quite successful
here as well as other places in
this area. An accomplished ar­ranger
as well as a performer, he
has written much of the music
played by the Auburn Marching
Band at half-time shows. This
week, he can be heard and seen
at the Player's Theatre as musi­cal
director of The Boyfriend.
A serious and thoughtful de­votee
of the art of music, he looks
for real creative art in his ap­preciation
of music, and finds the
greatest satisfaction in listening
to Bach and Mozart. Not in op­position
to this, but in support of
it, he is a staunch advocate of
true American jazz, and looks
for the same qualities in it as he
does in classical music. He gained
much of his jazz experience from
several years as a member of the
Auburn Knights Orchestra before
joining the faculty.
His latest endeavor is a newly
released long-playing jazz record,
"The Bob Richardson Trio Plays
Swinging Time." The trio con­sists
of Richardson at the piano,
J. H. Owen (a graduate student
in music) playing string bass, and
O. B. Stanfield at the drums. Al­though
very enjoyable to listen
to, this record is a sincere per­formance
of jazz, and not a com­mercial
pop record.
Richardson, well-liked by all
his students, is most enjoyable as
well as informative as a teacher,
because of his broad understand­ing
of music. We wish him plenty
of success with his record and in
all his many musical activities.

Rave notices greet
new library book
Auburn's Carnegie Library has
been presented a copy of. Maj. A.
G. Thompson's book, "The Great­est
Airlift: The Story of Combat
Cargo." The book gives an ac­count
of military" air transport
during the Korean War. It is wide­ly
acclaimed as an authentic rec­ord
of major phase of the A i r
Force effort during this period.
Chester E. McCarty, Major Gen­eral,
USAF, in praising Maj.
Thompson in the foreward, says,
" . . . he is particularly well qual­ified
to set down this story, be­cause
through the passage of time
he has become 'The Old Man of
the Airlift'." Donald W. Douglas
Of Douglas Aaircraft says that the
book relives events of the greatest
air movement the world has ever
known.
"The Greatest Airlift," says
Clyde Cantrell, director of libra­ries
"is of interest to all those
concerned with an understanding
of the history of modern warfare,
and it will be particularly useful
as reference material to Air Force
ROTC cadets."

Summer job placement services offered
by American Student Information Service
The ASIS, American Student
Information Service, locates sum­mer
jobs for American college
students who want to work in
Europe. This practice has furth­ered
the organization's main goal
—to foster better understanding
between the peoples of the world.
Founded three years ago and
now incorportated in Frankfort
Main, Germany, ASIS is a non­profit,
non-political, non-sectar­ian
organization supported by
membership fees and contribu­tions.
After a student has been ac­cepted
for membership, ASIS
searches f o r the position for
which the applicant is best qual­ified.
The primary consideration
in placing an applicant is his
choice of country and type of
placement desired. Every appli­cant
accepted is guaranteed a
summer position and will be noti­fied
of his exact summer place­ment
before leaving the United
States. In some cases it is im­possible
to notify the student of
the exact address of the employ­ment
until Spring Quarter.
Twelve European countries are
available for students to choose
from in seeking summer employ­ment.
Germany, France, Great
Britain, and Austria offer oppor­tunities
in forestry, factory, farm,
and resort work. Other countries
include Italy, Denmark, Finland,
N o r w a y , Sweden, Switzerland,
and Spain. Work in Scandanavia
and Italy is limited.
Because all of the positions lo­cated
by ASIS are "real jobs," ap­proval
must be first obtained by
the organization from the proper
authorities in the country involv­ed.
In addition to the placement
service, ASIS makes its educa­tional
and recreational activities
available to the U.S. student tra­veling
in Europe.
Auburn explorers
aid state geologists
The Auburn, Speleological So­ciety
is helping state geologists in
making a cave survey of Alabama.
The Society is composed of Au­burn
students who are "spelun-kers,"
or amateur cave explorers
to the uninitiated.
James McClung, faculty adviser,
reports that the club is now chart­ing
some deep caves around the
Tennessee River Area. They plan
several week-end trips during the
year to map caves in other parts of
the state.
Officers of the Society are as
follows: Robert Caneer, Hunts-ville,
president; Carl Wiegand, Ai-niston,
vice-president; C l a u de
Nail, Red Level, secretary-treas­urer.
THREE NEWLY ELECTED officials of the Alumni Association

"Something New Every Day"
A soil fertility short course for
Alabama fertilizer and lime sales­men
will be held today and to­morrow
at Auburn by the agrono­my
and soils department of the
API School of Agriculture and Ag­ricultural
Experiment Station.
In announcing the two-day
deal, Dr. Howard T. Rogers, agro­nomy
and soils department head,
said the short course will empha­size
principles of soil fertility that
are important in efficient use of
fertilizers and lime. A better un-erstanding
of soils and soil test­ing
should be one result of the
course, he pointed out.
Information to be presented by
Auburn teachers and researchers
should enable fertilizer and lime
salesmen to better serve their cus­tomers
through an understanding
of practical soil management prob­lems,
Dr. Rogers explained. In the
years ahead, he continued, more
technical information will be ex­pected
of salesmen of farm sup­plies.
Taking part in the short course
program will be Dr. E. V. Smith,
dean and director; Dr. Rogers; Dr.
J. T. Hood, associate professor; Dr.
Fred Adams, associate soil chem­ist;
Dr. C. E. Scarsbrpok, soil Che­mist;
Dr. A. E. Hitlbold, associate,
soil microbiologist; and Dr. J. Kj
IBM computer lab seen'
as worthwhile for API
Auburn's recently-installed IBM
Computer laboratory is proving
its merit. Lamar Layton, labora­tory
manager, reports that both
students and faculty are finding
many uses for the electronic
"brains."
Approximately 100 students are
now taking courses in the labora­tory.
James Briney is teaching
three industrial management class­es
in machine tabulation, and Dr.
Margaret Baskervill is teaching a
class in the mathematics of com­puters.
Faculty and graduate students
are being aided by the computer
in their research projects. Layton
says, "The computer is useful, in
such work as statistical analysis,
farm economics, psychology sta­tistics,
engineering problems, and
an almost endless variety of other
programs."
Wear, associate soil microbiolo­gist;
and Dr. J. I. Wear, associate
soil chemist. Assistant football
coach G. L. "Buck" Bradberry
will speak at the dinner meeting.
Phi Kappa Phi
taps 28 at API
A national honor society at Au­burn,
Phi Kappa Phi, tapped 28
students for membership this
quarter. Ranking in the upper five
per cent of their class, they were
chosen on the basis of scholarship,
leadership, and promise of suc­cess
in their chosen profession.
Initiation ceremonies will be held
at a banquet, Dec. 3. Dr. E. T.
York, director of the Agriculture
Extension Service, will be the
guest speaker.

Animals to benefit
from tranquilizers
say veterinarians
Veteranarians and pet owners
are finding many uses for tran-quilizing
drugs. It seems that ani­mals
react favorably to some
tranquilizers. That means that hu­mans
do not have a corner on the
market.
For animals, the drugs are be­ing
used from the operating ta­bles
in animal clinics to field
work. In the clinics they are em­ployed
as restrainers in medical
treatment. Surgically, they are
used as a pre-anesthetic, replac­ing
morphine. Also, they may be
used for anesthesia.
In the field the veterinarians
use tranquilizers to capture wild
cattle and horses. A tranquilizer
treated dart fired from an air gun
does the trick. The animal is pain­lessly
immobilized, allowing the
treatment for prevalent diseases.
Some of the tranquilizers help
prevent car sickness among ani­mals
such as dogs. Others are ef­fective
in relaxing show and ro­deo
horses, especially those which
are transported by air. Still oth­ers
calm pets that are frightened
by loud noises.
Dr. B. F. Hoerlein, head of the
small and large animal clinics at
API's School of Veterinary Medi­cine
says that certain tranquilizers
relax dogs almost to the degree
that an anesthetic will.
Auburn's veterinarians point out
that no one tranquilizer serves all
purposes for all animals. Some are
more satisfactory than others for
certain kinds of treatment. T h ey
seem to agree, however, that the
drugs are a great help to the prac­titioner
and to the veterinary med­icine
professor.
"Tranquilizers are invaluable to
us. I would hate to think that we
would have to do without them
now," said Dr. Fred G. Schell,
professor of large animal surgery
and medicine in the API School
of Veterinary Medicine.

"THE WORM TURNS"
Shakespeare said it this way:
"The smallest worm will
turn, being trodden on."
But Miguel de Cervantes
beat him to it in "Don

"Even a worm when trod
upon, will turn again.'
"MUSIC HAS CHARMS'*
The 17th Century playwright, William Congreve,
was the first to set down this classic metaphor
concerning the powers of sound and rhythm.
You'll find the whole quote in "The Mourning
Bride", Act I, Sc. 1 :
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.
To soften rocks, or tend a knotted oak."
"RHYME OR REASON"
Edmund Spenser, 16th Century poet, expected a
pension. He didn't get it. So he wrote this rhyme:
"/ was promised on a time/To have reason
for my rhyme,-/From that time unto this season,/
I received nor rhyme nor reason."

A Light Turnout 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, November 4, 1959
37.1 per cent of the qualified voters
here registered their choices last Thurs­day
at the polls; and so, here we are again,
(it happens after nearly every election,)
harping on the merits of voting.
We could say that suffrage is the basis
of democracy or that it is one's moral re­sponsibility
to help elect the most quali­fied
person. But what good would it do?
Everyone knows he should vote and
usually says he is going to. We would
even state that those nitwits who say "my
vote doesn't mean anything so why should
I take the trouble to cast it" are strictly in
the minority. But no matter how good
their intentions are, the majority of con-,
stituehts just never show up at the polls.
Why is it then, that they complain un-hesitantly
about the actions of incumbent
officers? We claim that they have no right
to do this for the simple reason that they
did not stop their verbal targets from
gaining office when they had a chance.
For instance, if a new school president
should decide to forcibly recruit float
building labor for a Village Fair decora­tion
from his constituency, he would re­ceive
no end of threats from angry young
men wondering why "we" elected him.
Six out of ten lamenters, however, should
not be permitted to open their mouths;
for they had no part whatsoever in the
name-building president's election.
Well, we have said nothing that has not
been said a thousand times. It will prob­ably
be said thousands more before vot­ing
ceases to be the vogue. However, we
would like to summarize t h i s editorial
with another oft-quoted admonishment:
To those persons among the 67.9 per
cent that did not vote: do not fret if you
are trapped into doing extra work or sub­jected
by harsh legislation. Instead, wait
patiently and quietly for the next election
day. Then arise early, rush to the polls
and tiirow off the shackles of "I don't
care" lethargy. Take five minutes out of
a year to cast a vote.

Spirit Committee Goofs
We wonder if the spirit committee has
not gone a bit over board on some of their
window signs. One which we have par­ticularly
in mind adorned the plate glass
of a pool hall on College last week. It
said, "VISITORS WELCOME, EXCEPT
FLORIDA STUDENTS."
Nothing could remind one more of a
Georgia Tech attitude than that statement.
The only conclusion that can be drawn is
that the superintendent of spirit did not
check the handiwork of his leprechauns.
Such an unwholesome attitude toward
visitors must be avoided at all costs. In
the future many important games will be
played in Auburn. Next year, Georgia's
visit will present the student body with an
opportunity to display their most gracious
hospitality toward an old rival.
We hope no Auburn student will em­barrass
his school by an antagonistic at­titude
and we also hope the spirit com­mittee
will try to promote good inter-school
relationships—not kindle the fire of
Techism.

Decorations In Retrospect
A two-category award system for
Homecoming decorations proved its worth
last weekend as entries were received with
but one exception from every, eligible
group here.
24 fraternities entering the competition
were nearly unanimous in their construc­tion
of beautiful floats.
Excellent spirit was shown everywhere
as the number of fraternities building de­corations
only for trophies was noticeably
small. It was interesting to learn that two
of the four winning decorations cost less
than fifty dollars while four or five $200-
$300 floats did not place at all,,;."1..'.. &
Unlimited price ceilings leave the road
to huge decorations open. It seems", how­ever,
that when float sizes get beyond a
certain point, workmanship and originality
suffer.
We would like to extend special con­gratulations
to Magnolia Hall for placing
first in Category L This, a unique achie­vement
for an independent group, reflects
great credit on its leaders.
Congratulations also to Pi Kappa Alpha,
Category II winner, Omega T a u Sigma,
Category II runner-up and T a u Kappa
Epsilon, Category I runner-up.
Lettuce Needed
It is certainly a shame that all activi­ties
sponsored by the Union Building must
be free. Due to the fact that part of Au­burn's
student activity fees go to the Un­ion,
no admission charges are permitted.
Of course, this greatly hinders the presen­tation
of top-notch entertainment.
If dollar tickets were sold for one of
the year's big dances, nationally known
names could be presented in the ballroom.
Of course, the small fee would not cover
the complete cost. Money from the other
source would however, supplement this
income to make such presentations pos­sible.
In addition, they would be cheaper
for students if Union-sponsored than if
given by any other campus organization.
In spite of the acute monetary problem
mentioned, Larry Hanks and his commit­tee
are now bringing better facilities to
Auburn's cultural center than was before
thought possible.

Plainsman offices are located in "Room 318 of the
Auburn Union and in The L,ee County Bulletin blinding
on Tiehenor Avenue. Enierrd an second class matter at
the post office in Auburn. Alabama. Subscription rates
by mail are $1 for ihree months and $;t for a full year.
The Plainsman is the official student newspaper of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and is written and
ediled by responsible students. Opinions published here­in
are not necessarily those of the administration. Fall
publication date is Wednesday and circulation is 7,700.
The Plainsman is represented by the National Adver­tising
Service.
They have already provided a great
deal of inexpensive but excellent enter­tainment.
The talent show was a good
example.
Although a great job is being done with
available resources, surely much more
could be accomplished if the Union were
permitted to charge for one or two activi­ties
a year.
We think the "all-free rule," originally
passed because activity fees were hiked
for the new Building, has fulfilled its use­fulness.
Now is the time to charge for a
few presentations and thereby bring much
better entertainment here.
Trash Cans Needed
Perhaps a worthwhile project for the
student senate would be the distribution
of trash cans over the campus.
Many universities now have these re­ceptacles
with the words "help keep our
campus clean—sponsored by the student
government association" painted on them.
There is no doubt in anyone's mind that
these cans would be of great help in keep­ing
the premises clean. As it is now, stu­dents
and faculty have no place to throw
their candy-bar wrappers and paper cups
except on the ground.
With possible monetary help from the
outside, we think this would be a quite
feasible and extremely practical project—
one of which the senators could be proud.
A Final Change
There was something distinctive and
appealing about the name "Alabama Poly­technic
Institute." Perhaps it was the pe­culiar
rhythm of the words; perhaps, the
variety of sounds. At any rate, as all good
War Eagles know, it is now all but a thing
of the past. January 1, the interment will
be official. Maybe Grover Hall was right
when he suggested—now that the name is
Auburn University—that we adopt API as
a nickname.
But aside with nostalgia and misgiv­ings;
The Plainsman campaigned as hard
as any for the name change. Looking to
the future, we offer one more suggestion.
And now that we admit being a uni­versity,
what about changing our Schools
to Colleges. To do so would be no more
than to claim what is justly our due.
I like to go to
football games.
Football is t he
game that every-
•
one who is wat­ching
it has at
one time played,
except the ladies. They played
soccer, lacrosse, etc. I don't really
know the finer points of the game
but I pick up a lot from the crowd
and from the newspapers. I've
learned that one team, and it de­pends
on which side of the field
you sit on, is supposed to mangle,
maul, crunch, crush, pulverize and
pound the other. It does sound
somewhat like the activities of a •
convict on the rock pile. Some
times the one team is urged to
rock, sock, knock, and block the
other. The game is quite poetic.
The people who go to the games
are always very interesting. At
last week's game one such sat be­hind
me. His name must have been
Mr. Siddown. Everyone would
look at him and yell that. Hi s
lovely companions name was Miss
Sister. I picked that up when the
gentleman next to me turned to
her and said, "Listen sister, will
you lay off my spine with those
pointed shoes?" Mr. Siddown
seemed to like the game very
much also. He was a real fan. He
was so interested that several
times he tried to climb up on my
shoulders to get a better view.
My blue and orange plain railroad
I engineers cap must have gotten
in his way, for he lifted it off my
| head; Good fellow that he was. he
saw the impoliteness of this ges-
I ture and immediately tried to put
it back. He slammed it down on
my head several times trying to
make it stay put. During a crucial
moment of the game he mistak­enly
took a bite out of it, and
seeing that it was worthless threw
it away. My best engineer's cap,
too! He was a charitable chap
though, and offered to share a
drink with me. Unfortunately he
upturned the bottle too soon and
some of the best bourbon that I've
ever sat in spilled onto the seat.
I w a s standing up at the t i me
because Miss Sister had begun to
work me over with those pointed
shoes. These were real nice folks
though, for they loved fobtball.
Being that I also love the game,
but probably with less passion
than Siddown and Sister, I would
have liked to have seen it through
to the end. However, Siddown and
Sister became engaged in a dis­cussion
of the finer points of the
game, which I eagerly listened to,
with a couple sitting in front of
me. After a little disagreement
Sister let fly with a pointed" shoe;
the couple in front let fly with
several gin bottles, and Siddown
let fly with me. The gentleman
whose head I landed on four rows
down got downright impolite
about it and suggested that I perch
elsewhere, preferably in the head
and not on his head. The view was
better where I was, but as he was
very large I took his suggestion.
Unfortunately I did not have a
ticket for the seat he had recom­mended
and had to leave the sta­dium.
But I bear no grudges. I
still like football and football fans.
They're my kind of people.
Perhaps the most misunderstood
quotation in the English language
is the one about all men being
equal. As is often the case with
words of wisdom, the specific
time and circumstance that bear
a philosophically barren people.
The historical implications and the
true value are left for the profes­sional
to ponder. But to men in
the complex of our democratic so­ciety
the fable of equality has al­ways
been a welcome one. It is
one of those double-edged swords
that opposing factions can each
use as the common defense of. an
ideal; the democratic citizen has
always felt that he needed a
sword, be it beat from a plow­share
or twisted from the context
of a speech. At any rate the con­cept
of equality has been generally
accepted, whether as a firm con­viction
or as a tongue-in-cheek
resignation. The blunt, dogmatic
phrasing has become an axiom.of
democracy. Despite the fact that
the philosophic implications are
open to argument, political loyal­ty
and public adherence . . . ad­herence
to this moot point have
had, for the most par-t, a very
positive effect on Americans and
American institutions.
Tim Battle
"Why" an important word
in our daily lives
"Why" is just a three-letter
word; but few words, if any, are
so significant in our everyday af­fairs.
As an example, consider a good
salesman who uses why often. in
his sales talk. To make a sale he
needs to know what objections his
clients have against buying. The
salesman knows that people often
have two reasons for not buying:
the one they give and the real one.
Sales resistant people often create
plausible excuses for not buying.
When their superficial objections
are challenged by "why," they are
often forced to admit their real
reasons for not buying won't hold
water. And another salesman tal­lies
his commission.
Why is a familiar word to every
good educator, whether he be on
the grammar school or college
level. A good teacher tries to stim­ulate
thinking in his students, the
kind that is non-dogmatic and
searching for truths. The intellect
cannot function without including
the attitudes of mind that are im­plied
by why.
"WHy thinking" often pays off.
in a practical way in the business
world. Business is always looking
for new and ' better methods of
production, marketing, and man­agement.
Young men who exploit
the why phrase of their intellect
rapidly move up. the ladder of
success.
We are all familiar with how
important why is to science. The
searching, questioning approach is
an integral part of the scientific
method.: Through this kind of
thinking many wonders of nature.
have been revealed and made to
conform to human desires.
But why thinking is not con­fined
to the aforementioned ex­amples.
It is of paramount im­portance
to us all.
Why thinking promotes that
spirit of inventiveness and cre­ativity
which has resulted in the
progress of civilization since time
began.
In a sense a why thinker is
born; that is, a reasonably good
IQ is necessary. But all of us on
the college level are potential why
thinkers, so we can't use why for
an excuse.
There are two things we need
to do to become why thinkers (1)
overcome lethargy and (2) have
the courage to blaze our own trail
through the jungle of human
thought.
The cave man started it all by
wanting to know why lightening
started fires. The modern man
may end it all by his query on
how energy was produced by
atom-splitting.
Herein lies the danger of why
thinking. It leads to the unknown.
Its discoveries may lead us to
destruction or carry us to n ew
heights of civilized living.
It would be difficult to deter­mine
the full impact of the var­ious
concepts of equality .on the
American educational system; but
it is evident that some interpre­tation
of equality has been at
work, and with not always the in­tended
result. There was basically
a belief that equality demanded
equal, opportunities for men to be­come
formally educated in the
academic atmosphere of the
school. This led to public schools
and land-grant colleges. P u b l i c
education was going to insure that
all men had an equal opportunity
in a society that was fast becom­ing
education conscious.
Perhaps no one forsaw the em­phasis
that this education con­sciousness
was to falsely place on
the diploma; for the diploma, and
for that matter the degree, has
never been a true indication of
education. Perhaps no one for­saw
the great population rise that
was to crowd classrooms to the
bursting point, overtax the edu­cational
facilities, and create a de­mand
for teachers that may never
be satisfied. The crystal balls may
have been clouded over by the
thick smoke and gin fumes of the
twenties, or perhaps it was simply
complacency that veiled the grow­ing
inefficiency of the school sys­tem.
It took the impact of a tin
ball hurling through space to
arouse us.
Inefficiency had begun to ac­celerate
when the combined con­cepts
of equality had been pushed
too far down the throat of a grow­ing
education system. Not only did
everyone have the opportunity to
get a diploma but measures were
taken such that everyone had to
attend school for a certain time,
like it or not. Equality was de­manding
the diploma; equality
was demanding equal education;
but what equality failed to de­mand
was an education of the
high standard that had once exist­ed,
and often still does, through
the private school. The great cross
section of intelligences that had
to be pushed through the schools
in the name of equality made the
further demand on education that
it seek a common denominator. It
developed into the situation of
teaching a little to a lot. The gifted
and the conscientious scholar was
exposed to no more than his dull
and disinterested diploma-seeking
classmate. The result was a great
mass of potential that had been
limited to mediocracy. This was
equality at work. We are all equal
but we must be equal at a com­mon
level. True a few survived
this and escaped to rise above the
norm. These are the people to be
admired.
That this concept of equality
cannot operate in the realm of ed­ucation
is obvious. A more accu­rate
concept of equality for edu­cation
lies not in setting a stan­dard
that all must adhere to, but
in allowing each and everyone the
equal opportunity to develop him­self,
to the limit of his potential.
That this concept of equality
has not been realized within the
current educational organization
is readily evident. The results
speak for themselves—the water­ed
down high school curricula, the
large enrollment of college fresh­men
in remedial courses, the
proud recipients of degrees and
diplomas that exemplify the weak­nesses
of the educational system.
The recent crisis that prompted
a new look at the system uncov­ered
many of the faults that had
developed under the influence of
a concept of equality that is ob­viously
not suited to so diverse a
society as American democracy.
Until equality is seen in the set­ting
of, the time and place in
which it is to govern there can be
no true equality; there will be
only idealism founded on a kalei­doscopic
equality principal. In the
meantime the people will pay the
penalty for mediocracy: the sacri­fice
of the true worth of man.

the flood waters from the Quada-lupe
River which blocked all the
roads. Some typical reactions were
"My hairdo will be ruined for that
important date tomorrow night,"
or "we've just got to get off this
hill or we'll miss the Kingston
Trio." They didn't get off in time
to hear the Trio that Saturday
night, and so they spent the week­end
there. However they were res­cued
in time for their Monday
morning classes.
LSU has just completed a new
$3,500,000 library and is now
planning a new student union.
Work on this will begin as soon as
plans are completed by the archi­tect;
two years has been set as
the earliest date for completion.
This southern college really seems
to be growing.
A name change is being con­templated
for the Huntingdon Col­lege
newspaper. This school has
an increasingly higher percentage
of men students on campus. For
this reason many feel that The
Huntress is no longer an appro­priate
name.
An experimental college is be­ing
started in Detroit by Wayne
State University. Students at this
institution will be required to
word in the natural sciences, so­cial
sciences and humanities for
four years. One startling innova­tion
is that most of the students'
work will be done independently.
Some 320 freshmen began work
here this fall.
Waiving its rights to possible
royalties, the Student Assembly
of the University of Texas voted
to give a motion picture studio
free use of their song "The Eyes
of Texas." Passage of the reso­lution
had been requested by the
governor who felt that the movie,
The Alamo, was a good way to
publicize the state and school.
The line began to move once
more, passing through a small
doorway at the end of a dingy,
dirty hall. Chest-high on the fin­ger-
smudged wall near the door
was non-descript sign announc­ing
the office of the Dean of Traf­fic.
The line halted, started a few
times, and then shuffled through
the door carrying me along. I
squinted hard trying to shut out
some of the glare from the row of
lights that was set into the ceil­ing,
making the hallway from
which I had just stepped seem
like a dungeon. The girl ahead
of me, a pretty brunette, smiled
and nodded an encouraging hello.
She looked familiar and my brain
ground and clashed a few gears
in an effort to recall her name,
but it failed to produce a hint.
We were conversing quite eas­ily
now and her name struck me
as well as her charm. Linda—of
course—how could I forget? In
no time at all I had a date for
the evening and felt very happy
about the whole day.
Now, if only they'll pass this
application for a campus parking
place next Friday, the day will
be perfect. I had already used my
two hour a week allowance and I
doubted that my special request
for an additional hour would be
granted. I couldn't afford to buy
any parking time on the black
market at the present rate; I
didn't relish wasting valuable
time waiting for a lift, and walk­ing
was out of the question. The
secretary hesitated then issued
me a o n e hour parking card,
swearing to the last ditch that
this was my final extension.
I passed back through the dirty
hall and descended a battered
stairway before reaching the out­side.
The crisp fall day had don­ned
a new coat I hadn't noticed
previously. It was sharper, better
defined. The brazen hues of the
leaves fought for recognition with
the glass and shiny steel of the
buildings a n d cars. The snow
white clouds formed legions as
they marched across t h e deep
blue plains.
Across the campus I could see
the ten-story general classroom
building sulking behind the foot­ball
oval. The stadium itself was
unusually devoid of activity. Near
the front gate the football players
marched in orderly pickets, on
strike for some two weeks now.
The streets pulsated traffic like
blood surging through arteries.
Cars streamed under the massive
administration building heading
for the campus' main exit. An
equal number of vehicles pouring
through the entrance kept the
traffic at a fever pitch. A beau­tiful
day, all's right with the
world.
Late that afternoon a telephone
call separated me from the four
o'clock newspaper as I rested in
the third floor lounge of my frat­ernity
house.
"This is Linda's roommate. She
says she's sorry but she has a
terrible headache and won't be
able to go tonight."
Oh well, some things never
change.
JOKES
From a letter written by a
young man, who was receiving his
basic training: "We were supposed
to have survival training today
but it was postponed on account
of rain."
living? I doubt it! But after all,
what would girls talk about if
they all weighed exactly what
they wanted to. Incidentally, while
most of the general public thinks
that 90 per cent of girls' small
talk is about boys, it is actually
about their biggest enemy—the
ever-lingering calorie. Oops, may­be
this is something that shouldn't
be revealed. I hear the male ego
is a delicate thing! But, then the
truth never hurt anyone—so they
say. But to go on . . .
You've heard of Jack and Jane?
Well, actually their story is rath­er
sad. You see Jack wanted to be
a midget in the circus, but he
had to settle for a basketball ca­reer,
because he was six feet, six
inches tall. And Jane? Her story
is equally as sorrowful. Her great­est
desire was to be a famous New
York model—but she could only
stretch to a mere four feet four
inches.
So that's the way it goes. Some
people fight to lose weight because
they "think" they are too fat.
Some people eat everything they
can get their hands on because
they "think" they are too thin—
but, alas, they seldom ever gain
a pound. Boys want to be taller,
and. girls usually want to be shor­ter.
And, of course, we can't for­get
all the 'Joe Colleges' who want
to get ahead in this world, and so
they struggle, struggle to get rich,
so that in order to keep ahead of
the. Joneses, they have to struggle,
struggle, struggle to get richer—
and usually wind up with an ulcer
v or a bad heart.
Now every story must have a
moral—and even though this is
one story that won't make the
Readers' Digest, I wouldn't want
to break the rule. The great philo­sopher
Socrates once made a his­tory-
making statement, which was
simple "Know thyself." Even
though things like weight and de­sire
for money are minor and a
bit shallow, they bring out a
point: If each person would con­centrate
more on knowing his own
self, his character, his personality,
his talents, and also his limits—
and those are things which every­one
possesses—and less on think­ing
about what he would like to
change about himself, greater
men and women would walk the
world today. Development of. true
self is the greatest thing a person
can do for in doing so each one is
producing an individual who is
not only unique, but who is ful­filling
his valuable purpose in life
by being the person that no­body
else can be and by doing the
job that nobody else in all the
world can do.

SEC Foes
Buy Bad Bargains
It's just about that time of year to stand back and take a
good look at our SEC conference.
Conference teams have thumped 24 outside opponents thus
far this season, while losing only four. That's a mighty fine
record although its typical of the SEC.
Number one in the nation, LSU, leads this onslaught against
outsiders with four wins. The Bengals played havoc with the
Southwest conference, setting down such S'west powers as
Rice, TCU, and Baylor. Miami gave the Tigers a scare for
three quarters before the aroused 1958 champs put the screws
on in the final 15 minutes to come away with a 27-3 victory.
The heavy-hearted Rebels from Mississippi have held foreign
opponents scoreless. Ole Miss holds three wins against nill
loses; a big one over the Southwest's number two team Ar­kansas
(28-0) and a massacre over lowly Memphis State (43-0).
Holding the largest number of outer conference games is
cellar bound Tulane, with four. Although Tulane has not won
a SEC game, they have been victorious in three of these out­side
encounters. The Green Wave has set down Wake Forest,
Detroit, and Texas Tech.
Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Tennes­see
each hold perfect 2-0 records against outlying foes.
Hardin-Simmons was cut down by the Tigers 35-12 as the
Plainsmen were loking for revenge after an opening game loss
to Tennessee. Powerful Miami, compared to Georgia Tech by
many Auburn coaches, never got up after a first play TD by
the Tigers.
Kentucky holds a minor win over Detroit and last week
finally stepped into form in their 22-3 romp over Miami. The
Wildcats have yet to win an SEC battle.
Mississippi State is another team which has failed to come
up with a win conference-wise. The Maroons have taken this
out on Arkansas State (49-12) and edged past Memphis State
(28-23).
Losing only one game this year, dnd'tliat one to Tech, the
Volunteers of Tennessee defeated North Carolina last week and
smothered Chattanooga the previous Saturday.
Georgia Tech and Georgia have beaten out-of-staters twice,
while dropping one game apiece. The Bulldogs fell to South
Carolina early in the season, then came back to take Hardin-
Simmons (35-6) and Florida State. Tech holds big victories
over SMU (16-12) and Clemson (16-6). Last week Duke
spoiled Tech's Homecoming by upsetting t h e Yellowjackets
(10-7).
Florida has played two outer conference teams; beating
Virginia (55-10) and holding Rice to a 13-13 tie.
Any way you look at these statistics you'll find the South­eastern
Conferenceone of the toughest in the nation. SEC op­ponents
will heartily agree.

Dangerous Maroons eye Tigers
After the Films Mississippi State longs for upset
Plainsmen look good; which always neatly eludes them
hut not at their best
By JIM PHILLIPS
Managing Editor
Saturday's game in the Cliff Hare mudbowl might not
have been the mast interesting to fans this year, but Sun­day's
films proved that Auburn played solid, methodical
football much of the way.
Soon after t h e lights had been dimmed and t h e projector
activated, sports publicist Norm ""• • , . ,.
After taking stitches in his
muscular leg near the game's
beginning, Zeke Smith returned
to p l a y another All-America
show. His blocking Saturday
was pinpoint accurate and solid,
his defense again ferocious.
G. W. Clapp undoubtedly en­joyed
his best day in an Auburn
uniform. Saturday, showed the
films, G. W.'s murderous block­ing
was every bit as good as
ever. But the massive sculptor
never did so well defensively.
Alone, G. W. knifed through
beautifully to throw unsuspect­ing
Gators for b i g losses.
Against Florida C l a p p was
more elusive a n d harder to
block than he ever had been.
Such is only the ingredients
necessary for a fellow's selec­tion
to the AllrAmerica ranks,
and G. W., mind you, has an­other
year around these parts.
Senior guard Haywood War­rick
played one more inspired
game. Once on a Florida drive
deep into Tiger territory, Hay­wood
slaughtered h i s way
through with e n d Dave Ed­wards
to smother enemy quar­terback
Jack Jones for a costly
ten yard loss. The very next
play saw Haywood red-dogging
the Gator line and spilling the
bewildered Jones for seven
more yards deficit. Like Clapp,
Warrick was hard to block Sat­urday.
Right along with Zeke, Jackie
Burkett offered another All-
America show. Norm Carlson, a
real, public information whiz
this day, reminded the film's
patrons that Bill Beck, sports
editor of t h e St. Petersburg
Times' said, "Jack's America's
C a r l s o n said emphatically,
"Look at that Wasden, will you?
He's great. Yesterday Ed Pope
(Miami Herald's prominent
sportswriter) said Bobby ranks
in his opinion with (the Gat­ors')
Don Hudson, and together
they're the best pair of ends he's
seen in a long time." Bobby
turned in another hard-nosed
knocking performance when the
Tigers had the leather as well
as when they fought to get it
back.
Leo Sexton continued to play
top football, recovering on the
Gator 40 the fumble which led
to Saturday's only score. Big
Leo reached out and grabbed a
sweeping Jack W e s t b r o ok
for a seven yard loss on an oc­casion
deep in Auburn terri­tory.
Until Leo came from no­where
to pull him down, it
looked as though Westbrook
would break clear.
Hungry Ken Rice turned in
his sixth successive great show­ing
of 1959. It seems as though
the 250 pound Georgian will
never have a bad day. Once Ken
ran over three men to nail the
ball carrier. In the films that
Gator trio looked like tin sold­iers
in the face of Rice's inhu­man
onslaught. Ken played that
way throughout the game. The
Gators were never able to gain
on him.
Rice's running mate, huge
Billy Wilson, again played fine
football. Setting up an early
drive which ended with an un­successful
field goal try, Wil-,,
son claimed a loose pigskin
dropped by Florida fullback-
John McBeth. Defensively, Billy
had one of his finest outings.
best center. I've seen him sev­eral
times, and today proved
once again that nobody's in his
class."
The flicker showed sopho­more
guard J e r r y Gulledge
tough again. Good all-around
play was obviously Jerry's re­sponse
to n a b b i n g first
and second team assignments
when Zeke's leg was being
stitched.
And the Backs . . .
Quarterback Bob Hunt called
a wonderful game. Considering
the mucky turf's unfriendliness
to the "Weasel's" type of fancy
r u n n i n g , h i s performance
was a fine one overall. Hunt
engineered the game's key play,
a 21 yard pass to fullback Ed
Dyas, setting up the day's six
points.
Films showed t h a t Dyas'
catch a t h i n g of beauty on
the Hunt aerial just mentioned.
Watching Ed on t h e screen,
backfield coach B u c k Brad-berry
stated, "The tougher the
situation, the tougher Dyas. He's
Our backfield clutch man."
Lamar Rawson, this week's
SEC rushing leader with 7.2
gain per snap, turned in his best
day this year. Not only was he
a ball-toting demon with 113
yards on 11 carries, but his de­fense
was even tougher than
usual. His fourth quarter inter­ception
in Auburn's end zone
and a pair of key tackles saved
the day. "He's Auburn's power
hitter," someone said f r o m a
darkened corner." He and Hunt
combined to go for that 78 yard
TD in Miami last week; then
yesterday Lamar went 70 for
the longest T i g e r run from
scrimmage this fall. He can
really k n o c k the opposition
dead with those home runs."
Jimmy Pettus, a halfback
whom everybody's gunning for
this year, played well all day,
particularly on an eleven yard
burst which fired the troops on
to greater things at the begin-

If history is a reliable pro­phet,
look for a hard-fought
and exciting football game in
Birmingham Saturday. Missis­sippi
State will once again try
to upset a nationally ranked
Auburn team—a feat they have
come only close to fulfilling in
past years.
Wade Walker's Maroon's are
in the midst of a rebuilding
program this year, b u t they
won't be regarded lightly by
Auburn. They have some good
material, but have yet to real­ize
their full potential.
Last week, the Staters co­operated
in making Alabama's
Homecoming a pleasant one by
being on the short end of a 10-
0 score. The statistics, however,
were just about even except for
the intercepted passes depart­ment.
An alert 'Bama pass de­fense
picked up four State aer­ials
to set up all of the Tide
scoring.
The Maroons are still looking
for their first SEC victory this
year, and they will have to pull
a spectacular upset to get one.
This November foes are Au­burn,
LSU, and Ole Miss.
Don't completely discount the
chances of an upset, though,
because Wade Walker's young
team sholud be improving with
every game. Sophomore full­back
G. T. Thames was the
leading ground gainer in the
Alabama game. Other "State
standouts include Ed Smith,
Tom Goode, and Walter Suggs
in the line and Pat Shute at
halfback.
Many people didn't expect
much of a battle in the Auburn-
State games of the last two
years. When the outings were
over, they knew better.
Coach Jordan says that the
Mississippi State series is one
of the most exciting that Au­burn
p l a y s . He remembers
games like the one in 1957 when
the Maroons left the field at
halftime with a 7-0 lead. It took
a very determined Tiger effort
to come back and win by 15-7.
Shug will never forget '55 when
the Tigers e k e d out a 27-26
Homecoming win and '56 when
the Tigers won 27-20 in the
waning seconds.
When you're on top, you can't
ever relax. If you do, you're
likely to be in for an unplea­sant
surprise.

ning of their 40 yard TD drive.
Little Don Machen had his
best day. Halfback Don spurted
18 yards on just three carries.
Coach Hal Herring termed this
back's defensive performance
"perfect."
Bryant Harvard was parti­cularly
praised for his ability
to move the team at game's end.
Auburn badly needed a couple
of first downs in order to stall
the clock when they took over
on their own 20 with 5:02 left
in the game. Behind Bryant's
imaginative leadership, the con­test
ended with Auburn in pos­session
way down on Florida's
18.
Joe Dolan was again a fault­less
kicker. "The boys love to
see him punt when we get into
a kicking situation," said an un­identified
coach. "They have as
much confidence in him as we
do, you know." Dolan's poised
handling of two bad snaps were
game savers.
So it went. Maybe Saturday's
film's weren't Academy Award
Winners this week, as they had
been for the previous three, but
they weren't a long way from
it!

' In the Tigers' mud-soaked 6-0 t r i u m p h over Florida last
Saturday, it was hard to pick just one outstanding man in
this mostly defensive collision. However, for his brilliant
defensive work and steady and dependable ball carrying,
Lamar Rawson justly deserves the nod as The Plainsman's
Player of the Week.
At the end of the Homecom­ing
encounter a poll of aH
sports writers in the press booth
was taken. This ballet is an an­nual
hbmeccmirig affair, a nd
the results determine the win­ner
cf the Blue Key trophy for
the Homecoming game's most
outstanding player. It was a un­animous
choi?e among press
box personnel that Lamar Raw-son
was the game's most valu­able
player.
Praisej .runs high from Coach
Jordan on Rawson. Says Jor­dan:
"AH along people have
said. Lamar Rawson was steady
but not sensational. There's-no
doubt today that he's steady and
sensational. Certainly his run­ning,
which was the greatest of
his three year career here at
Auburn, was an important fac­tor
in our victory . . . but we
cannot overlook his all-around
defensive- play. In particular I
Want to single out the intercep­tion
he made in the fourth
quarter, when he took the
ball right out of a Florida man's
hands in our end zone."
Rawson led all backs in last
Saturday's game. He picked up
113 yards rushing in 10 carries
for an 11.3 average; rushing for
almost half of the total ground
yardage picked up by the
Tigers.

t h e sidelines for what
looked to be a sure TD. Only
Florida'3 fleet-footed RH Don
Deal could make the save as he
caught Rawson f r o m behind
and rode him d o w n on the
Florida 21.
As Auburn was maneuver­ing
toward the only TD of the
game, Lamar Rawson was given
the job of making that hard-to-get
yardage inside the ten yard
line. On the first play Rawson
pile-drived down to the one and
on the following play he broke
through for the big score.
With the Gators on the Au­burn
18 and seemingly touch­down
bound in the first quarter,
Rawson broke through the rug­ged
Florida defenses to nail RH
Westbrook for a six yard loss.
Florida's fourth quarter at­tempt
to score was abruptly ter­minated
as Rawson literally

hands of Florida's Goodman
and returned it ten yards. This
terrific play gave Auburn the

Managing Editor
Although Auburn's Baby Tig­ers
lost a c l o s e one to the
young Florida Gators last Fri­day
in Gainesville, at least two
faces which could be important
in next year's varsity picture
emerged. Halfback Jimmy Bur-son
of LaGrange, Georgia, look­ed
like a new Tommy Lorino
is he bewildered the Florida
•efenses w i t h flashy broken
';eld running. T a c k l e Joe
Baughan was a savage all af­ternoon.
In this 14-6 Auburn loss, 18
year old Jimmy scampered 80
-.'ards off Florida's right tackle
to his great maneuver. Adding
ti his great maneuver, Burson
picked up 51 m o r e rushing
markers to lead all ball carriers
with 131 total yards. The Flor­ida
press up for Saturday's var­sity
tiff praised the swift frosh
halfback highly.
Baughan, younger brother of

Maxie, was all over Florida
Field with the vicious tackling
for which his clan is famous.
His blocking Friday gave note
that Joe will someday be a fine
two-way lineman. "Baughan led
a good, young Auburn line at
Gainesville," smiled Assistant
Freshman Coach George Atkins
Sunday. "Give that boy another
year and watch out!"
Quarterback Mailon Kent and
center Jim Price also played
superb games at Gainesville,
thought t h e Auburn coaches.
Head frdsh mentor Erskine
Russell was well pleased with
his team's general play. "Florida
was really loaded. They say this
is the finest freshman squad in
their school history," comment­ed
t h e former Auburn end
great. "They had the advantage
of playing and winning decis­ively
once before (36-6 over
Miami) and hosting us on their
home field. Since o u r boys
hadn't played in a game to­gether
before, they were per­haps
a bit sluggish at first, but
come out of it real well. Burson
and Baughan, along with sev­eral
others, were just terrific
for us!"
The Baby Tigers, seasoned
after a close one with a fine
team, go next against the Geor­gia

'My Greatest Thrill'
Atkins recalls Miami...
BY GEORGE ATKINS
Before the season started in
1954, nearly everybody picked
Auburn to be in America's top
ten. However, three of our
games at the first of the season
were with Georgia Tech, Ken­tucky,
and Florida, and we lost
them all by o n e touchdown
margins. Our next game was
with fourth ranked Miami at
Birmingham. Naturally, we
were considered to be in for an­other
loss.
We were running two units
then, the X team and the Y
team. Coach Jordan made some
changes after those losses by
combining the two units and
putting only one team on the
field against Miami. I was
playing guard, and along with
me in the line were Frank D'-
Agostino, M. L. Brackett, and
Jim Pyburn, just to mention a
few. Bobby Freeman was our
quarterback, and of course
there were Fob James and that
great Joe Childress behind us.
That one team s t a y e d in
against Miami's two teams for
all but three plays of the game.
We knew we had a good team
and we were out. to prove it
that day.
In the fourth quarter Miami
was a h e a d 13-7, when they
fumbled and we recovered.
Right then everybody, even the
Miami team, seemed to know
that we were going to win. We
marched right on down the
field and Childress j went over
for the score and made the
extra point good. We held them
for the rest of the quarter and
won the game 14-13.
That game really "made'' the
team in 1954. We went on to
win the rest of our games and
beat Baylor in the Gator Bowl
by 33-13. I've had several other
great thrills in sports, but win­ning
that game with Miami was
by all means the greatest.
NOTES—George Arthur At­kins
is one of the all-time great
Auburn linemen. Twice an All-
SEC guard, he played here dur­ing
the 1952-53-54 seasons. He
joined the Auburn coaching
staff in July of 1956, and he is
now assistant freshman coach.
Born in Birmingham, on April
10, 1932, he graduated from
Shades Valley High School in
1950. He is married to the for­mer
Leah Marie Rawls, a nd
they have one son, Tim, age
three—Bullington.

Burkett, Zeke get
top '59 Dell awards
BY BILL HENDON
Plainsman Sports Writer
Last Thursday night on Au­burn
Educational TV's "Take
Sixty" Show, Tiger AU-Ameri-cans
Zeke Smith and Jackie
Burkett were awarded crystal
ball trophies — Dell Publishing
Company's first annual Pre­season
Ail-American presenta­tions.
On hand to present the two
Tiger grid greats their beauti­ful
trophies was Sid Doroshow
of Birmingham, Dell's person­able
Southern public relations
man. "I take great pride in pre­senting
to you Zeke Smith and
to you, Jackie Burkett these
two small items of recognition
for a job so w e l l done. The
South and this nation are happy
that football players of your
caliber are around to put on
such enjoyable shows Saturday
after Saturday," smiled Mr.
Doroshow.
These are just the first bits
of All-America acclaim for Au­burn's
great linemen this year.
Last time around Zeke was a
Concensus All-America Guard,

SAE's continue tank domination;
no grid scores reported to Evans
BY ED JAMES
Intramurals Editor
Victory in this fall's frater­n
i t y swimming competition
went as expected again to the
tankmen of SAE. But in win­ning
this annual event for the
third successive year, the vic­tors
were pushed hard all the
way by a daring b u n c h of
never-say-die ATO's.
At the conclusion of the in­dividual
events, the ATO's led
the SAE's 40-38, and victory by
the Alpha Taus seemed pos­sible.
The entire meet hinged
only upon the relays, and the
ATO challengers might have
taken these from the champs
had it not been for a bit of bad
luck. On the final lap of the
evening's medly event, both
fraternities' anchormen pushed
off from poolside almost sim­ultaneously.
Then t h e ATO
swimmer began to angle toward
his SAE opponent, and they
collided just a few yards be­fore
they crossed the finish line.

NOVEMBER 9 and lO Seattle—Wichita—Cape Canaveral, Florida
Warrick roughouses Beckwith—key Auburnite
at Auburn guard slot 1
BY JIMMIE DYAL
Plainsman Sports Writer
Florida's Gators ran the ball
last Saturday with at least five
men in their backfield. This
fifth man was generally Au­burn's
agile left guard, Hay­wood
Warrick. His consistent
defensive aggressiveness helped
h o l d Florida to a scoreless
game.
Warick is a blond, 6' 1", 210
pound senior from Dothan. He
began the '59 campaign on the
first team but was switched
to the second unit early in the
season. This seldom happens to
a senior, but it seems to have
improved his play.
In our last three games with
Tech, Miami, and Florida, Hay­wood
turned in an outstanding
show. Against Miami he receiv­ed
a deep gash under his left
eye, but this didn't keep him
on the bench. In the Florida
game, on two occasions when
the Gators were deep in Tiger
territory, Haywood eluded his
blockers; stepping on the Gat­ors
tail and insulting them with
two consecutive losses. The
Gator drive was halted and
their spirit somewhat depleted.
Shug commented, "We didn't
have any weak spots last Sat­urday
thanks to Warrick, Smith
and Clapp." He was also heard
to say, "Warrick's prowess on
defense was a big item."
Since graduating f r o m the
redshirt team, Haywood h as
consistently i m p r o v e d his
strength and speed. He is now
noted for his exceptional quick­ness
in the line. Being a
"swing" guard, playing b o th
guard positions, has made him
a great asset to the Tigers.
Possessing a sort of happy,
carefree attitude; Haywood has
become very popular with his
teammates and the coaching
staff. He is a very likable per­son
as well as an outstanding
football player—a man who de­serves
Auburn's cry of WAR
EAGLE!

So the race ended in a dead
heat. The SAE's took the 200
yard relay, and the meet ended
with them on top by a scant
point. Final score: SAE 52Vs,
ATO 5iy2.
No Grid Scores Reported —
This past week, Coach Evans
did not receive information on
the scores of any intramural
football game. The Plainsman
receives its game info from
both Coach Evans and phone
calls to the Intramurals Editor,
describing the play of the inter-
• ested party's team. Without
managers, referees, team mem­bers,
or interested fans calling
in the scores and play by play,
there is no way that The Plains­man
can report intramural
action each Wednesday. Those
interested please contact either
Coach Evans in Thach Hall or
Ed James at the KA House.

Haywood Warrick—Mr. Improvement
BY JOE BEASLEY
— Plainsman Sports Writer
Success on the gridiron here
at Auburn is the responsibility
of Coach Shug Jordan and his
players. But have you ever
wondered what goes into a
game such as homecoming? Or
any home game before the act­ual
playing takes place?
It takes a tremendous amount
of planning far in advance to
make such an occasion a com­plete
success. Will we have
enough policemen to direct
traffic to and from the stad­ium?
Are those first-aid sta­tions
and doctors available in
case there is an accident or ill­ness
at the game? Are the pro­grams
ready for the game?
These are only a few of the
questions t h a t confront Bill
Beckwith everytime Auburn
plays a football contest in Cliff
Hare Stadium. And these are
only a few of Bill's duties and
responsibilities here at t he
Loveliest Village.
Bill, Public Relations Director
for Auburn's Athletic Depart­ment,
has many varied tasks the
year round, promoting War
Eagle Sports. He may fly to
Miami or elsewhere in advance
of a contest to promote Auburn
or advance ticket sales for the
game.
From May until the football
season starts, Bill directs ad­vance
ticket sales for all foot­ball
games. W h e n problems
arise in the distribution, Bill
is the man who solves them. He
not only makes sure tickets are
wanted for an Auburn football
game but that everybody who
wants a ticket can get one if at
all possible.

following a game, Bill sees that
the newspapers get information
about what happened. Four or
five wired stories go out every­day.
(Norm Carlson replaced
Bill when the latter was pro­moted
to Publicity Director
from Sports Publicist.) Bill co­ordinates
everything from see­ing
that a sick person at the
ball game is taken care of, to
p r e s s releases, to directing
ticket sale* for an entire sea­son.
In Bill's stay here he has
done an outstanding job in all
the work given him. He is one
of the hardest working publi­city
men in the South and is
acknowledged among publicity
men as one of the best. It is a
great thing for Auburn that
Bill is here.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Oc­tober
5, 1927, Beckwith grad­uated
from high school in Am-ericus,
Georgia, in 1845. After
one quarter at Auburn, he en­listed
