University Hosts
SUSGA Workshop
On October 18-19
By BOB REED
Plainsman News Writer
The third a n n u a l Southern
Universities Student Government
Association Publications Work­shop
will be held at Auburn on
October 18 and 19.
The purpose of SUSGA, a non-policy-
making organization, is to
provide member schools with a
medium of exchange of ideas.
The Publications Workshop, as a
branch of SUSGA, will bring to­gether
over 200 editors of college
newspapers and yearbooks and
other students interested in col­lege
journalism. Fifty schools,
most of which are members of
SUSGA, will be represented.
The executive council, consist-,
ing of delegates from eight states,
met here on September 22 to
plan the conference. Herb Rein-hard,
former Activities Director
at Auburn, was the executive di­rector
of SUSGA during the 1961
conference, which was held at the
University of Alabama. The new
executive director is Lindy Mar­tin,
dean of Student Affairs at
Howard College.
On Thursday, October 18, the
arriving delegates will be met by
Suellen Robinson, the Auburn
Union calendar girls, and other
Auburn co-eds who will act as
hostesses for the conference. The
delegates will meet Thursday for
panel discussions on matters of
interest to college journalists.
These discussions will be fol­lowed
by a banquet Thursday
night, for which professional en­tertainment
will be provided.
Last year's banquet featured the
Buffalo Bills.
After the banquet, there will
be' an informal gathering at the
".Lambda Chi Alpha House.. All
other fraternities are urged to
hold open house for the delegates
and to have a representative at
the banquet to greet the visiting
delegates. Friday morning will be
filled with more panel discus­sions,
and the conference will ad­journ
at noon.
Jim Vickery is serving as arran­gements
chairman for the SUS­GA
Workshop. Vickery hopes that
"this workshop will provide a
tremendous opportunity for the
University, its students, and its
faculty to assert themselves in
campus leadership. The conven­tion
is a real challenge. Auburn
is fortunate to be able to host this
A-cohvention. I hope that we shall
' continue to have the full coopera­tion
of the students and student
leadership in molding it into a
profitable and enjoyable exper­ience
for us and our guests."

Kappas Establish 90th Chapter
DR. RICHARD E. F. MATTHEWS, (right) eminent plant
virologist from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, arrived
on the campus yesterday to begin a series of lectures. Shown with
him is Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the1 School of Agriculture and di­rector

In First Of Prominent Lecturer Series
Dr. Richard E. F. Matthews, eminent plant virologist from

King Puts Auburn
On Integration List
According ~ to an Associated
Press story released late yester­day,
the Reverend Martin Luther
King, Jr. said the University of
Alabama and Auburn University
are prime targets for an integra­tion
drive. King, at a news con­ference
at the beginning of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference's national convention
in. Birmingham, said, "It is • ab­solutely
necessary that we have
Negroes in Alabama and Auburn."
He said, "This morning we dis­cussed
and intend to launch with
local leaders an all-out drive to
see Negro students attend the Uni­versities."
Only one Negro, Autherine Lu­cy,
was ever admitted to the Uni­versity
of Alabama. In 1956 a Fed­eral
Court ordered the facility in­tegrated,
but she was expelled
shortly after being admitted.
At the news conference King
also said he would back local in­tegration
leaders if they desired
to stage demonstrations during
the four-day convention in Bir­mingham
,a city King has called
"the worst city in America" in
race relations. K i n g said, "we
shall support our affiliated organi­zations
here if they engage in any
direct action and will assist in'any
way possible."

gram, Dr. Matthews is co-spon­sored
by Auburn University and
the University of California.
All lectures are to be presented
in Room 247, Funchess Hall and
will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m.
They will be primarily concerned
with the related problems con­nected
with plant virology with
special emphasis given to the
properties of plant viruses, vi­ral
synthesis, and animal diseases
caused by fungus toxin.
Dr. Matthews, a native of New
Zealand, is appearing on the cam­pus
as the first Benjamin M. Dug-gar
Visiting Lecturer, a program
announced recently by President
Ralph Draughon and Dr. E. V.
Smith, dean of the School of" Ag­riculture
and director of the Ag­ricultural
Experiment Station.
He holds a Honors degree from
the University of Auckland and
the Ph.D. from Cambridge. He has
published 55 scientific and tech­nical
papers and has one book in
print- to date. His works are au­thoritative
sources on serology,
immunology of plant viruses, gen­eral
plant virology, chemotherapy
of virus diseases, and nucleopro-teins.
His main research interests at
present are the mechanism of re­duplication
of plant viruses and
inhibition of virus growth by
chemical means. Recently, he has
contributed to understanding of
the kinetics of biosynthesis of
Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus.
Dr. Matthews was chief of the
Virus disease section of Plant Di­seases,
Department of Scientific
and Industrial Research, Auck­land,
where in addition to direct­ing
a vigorous research program,
he found time to serve as prin­cipal
advisor to a number of Uni­versity
of Auckland Botany De­partment'
doctoral candidates.
Presently, he holds the newly cre­ated
chair of Microbiology at the
University.
Expansion Of Women's Facilities
Creates Opening For New Sororities
Kappa Kappa Gamma, a social sorority for collegiate
women, is currently in the process of establishing its 90th
chapter at Auburn. Kappa is the first sorority to come to the
Auburn campus since the founding of Kappa Alpha Theta here
in 1957. •
Earliest plans for the coloniza­tion
were made at the fraternity
convention last June, in the be­lief
that increased enrollment and
growth of University facilities
would warrant an expanded fra­ternity
program at Auburn. Ap­proximately
300 more girls than
last year's enrollment can be
housed in the new south dormi­tories.
Kappa Kappa Gamma held two
rush parties on September 22 and
23. Conducting the parties were
three honor students now en­rolled
at Auburn—Jane Ann
Briggs, Carolyn Christian, and
Constance Clulow—and the Uni­versity
of Alabama chapter of
Kappa Kappa Gamma, assisted by
several alumnae and national of­ficers
of the sorority.

In addition, there are 350 alum­nae
groups in this country and
abroad, including Hawaii and the
British Isles.
Among the projects the sorority
is noted for are its strong pro­gram
of scholarships and grants-in-
aid, and rehabilitation of the
handicapped. Recipients include
both foreign and American stu­dents
in the fields of graduate and
undergraduate study and rehabi­litation.
The arrival of Kappa Kappa
Gamma .on the Auburn campus
signifies the progress made In
women's housing and enrollment.
In line with this continued ex­pansion,
tentative plans are under
way for the establishment here of
two more sororities, Alpha Chi
Omega and Delta Gamma.
Dean of Women, Dr. Katharine
Cater, commenting on the new so­rority,
has said, "We are delighted
that Kappa has accepted our in­vitation
to come to Auburn. Kap­pa
has long held a prominent po­sition
in the fraternity world, and
we feel that a chapter here will
greatly enhance our fraternity
program."

Organization Problems Discussed
By Student Leaders At Conference
By BETTY THOMAS
Some ninety student leaders
and staff representatives met Sat­urday,
Sept. 22, at Callaway Gar­dens
to discuss the varied issues
of campus organization. The pur­pose
of this all-day meeting was
to help Auburn University student
leaders obtain a better under­standing
of the school, its stu­dents,
and the problems concern­ing
both.
After opening . addresses by
President Ralph Draughon, Vice-
President Robert Anderson, and
Student Body President Bert
Hitchcock, discussions on the va­rious
problems of campus life
were led by the key figures of
each student organization. Plans
for the 1962-63 year were an­nounced
by these various leaders.
Among the issues discussed were
student elections, which are to be
held Oct. 25, campus drives, high
school relations, functions of the
student senate and laws, and the
football ticket situation. A ques­tion
and answer period for the
representatives followed.
• The second session consisted of
an explanation of student activity
projects and the actiivties fees.
Pete Morgan presented the his­tory
and function of the Union
Building.
The Discipline Committee re­port,
talks on academic honesty,
and parking problems were given
by Jimmy Haggard, Gary Suttle,
and Col. Funchess, respectively. '
James Hufham's discussion of
the spirit committee opened the
third session of the workshop. The
student publications program was
outlined by Dean Foy. After the
discussion of sororities and fra­ternities
and their activities for
the coming year by Beth May and
Lester Crawford, another question
and answer period was held.
Two of the closing features of
the workshop were a talk on Wo­men's
Student Government by
Sally Jones and a. discussion of
ACOIA by Jimmy Haggard.
ATTENTION DEC. GRADS
Candidates for degrees in De­cember
must clear all deferred
grades (incomplete and absent
examination) prior to October 5.
New Program Set
For Public Relations
An extensive Public Relations
program for t h e student body
will be put into effect this year
by the Supt. of Public Relations,
Danny Paul.
Among the services of that of­fice
will be the initiation of a
news service for use by the stu­dent
body. This service will seek
out worthy news about the stu­dents
and organizations on this
campus.
It is urged that all clubs and
organizations on campus make
provisions for sending stories
about their organization to the
News Service which will be head­ed
by John Gammill.
Another Committee initiated
this year will be a Student Re­lations
committee designed to
provide speakers who are well
informed about Student Govern­ment
work. They would be avail­able
to speak to all clubs, organi­zations
or any other interested
groups, about Student Govern­ment,
and to answer their ques­tions
about it.
A Committee known as the Au­burn
Hostesses will be set up to
serve as hostesses to all campus
open houses and other functions
and will be available through the
office of Public Relations.
A weekly radio program will
be initiated this fall whose pur­pose
will be to better inform the
students and townspeople of the
various schools at Auburn and
of the Student Government, as
well as being a general news and
information program for the stu­dent
body.
Any information that would be
of interest to anyone either on
campus or at home, should be
turned in to John Gammill for
release to the proper authorities.
Student
Political
Senate Studies
Reorganization
By HARRY WILKINSON
Managing Editor
The University Student Senate has announced the ap­pointment
of two committees to study reorganization of the
political parties at Auburn, according to Jim Kilpatrick, Vice-president
of the Student Body and presiding officer of the
Student Senate.
Committees have been instruc­ted
to report their findings and
recommendations on political re­apportionment
to the Senate no
later than Thursday, October 4.
Recommendations may be sub­mitted
to the Senate in the form
of advice, a strong directive, or
an actual reapportionment plan.
Senators will be urged to take
some action on the committee
reports at that time. Student
leaders give the upcoming fall
elections as reason for exped­iency
in this matter.
The idea of political reappor­tionment
is not new to the Sen­ate.
A resolution was introduced
to the legislative body last spring
by a senator from the War Eagle
Party requesting study and/or
action on the subject of political
reapportionment. This resolution
was presented at the final meet­ing
of last year's senate and had
to be tabled until this time. The
resolution was brought from the
table to the Senate floor Tuesday.
Committees were appointed at
this time.
The first committee is to be
titled The Senate's Committee on
Political Reapportionment. Jim­my
Haggard is to head this group.
A second committee has been
formed to advise the official
committee on its recommenda­tions.
It will consist of chairmen
from the two existing parties, the
All-Campus and War Eagle Par­ties,
and other members appoint­ed
by Supt. of Political Affairs
Brian Mitchel.
Kilpatrick says the forthcom­ing
Senate action is in line with
the "no stagnation" policy to be
used in the Senate t h i s year.
Clear, forthright decisions are
to be promulgated by the Senate
this year after' due evidence on
subjects has been presented.
Legal powers under the Stu­dent
Body Constitution have been
presented as cause for Senate
action on party reapportionment.
The following constitutional laws
have been presented: Article V,
Section 1—"All legislative pow­ers
granted herein shall be vest­ed
in a Student Senate. . . . Sec­tion
7—To charter such subsid­iary
organizations as may be
deemed necessary the proper
functioning of the government or
the general welfare of the entire
student body. Section 3—To set
up permanent or temporary com­mittees
from within the Student
Senate membership as it sees fit."
Vamp the Vols . . .
VAMP THE VOLS, the first pep
rally of the football season, will
get underway Thursday night,
Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in Cliff Hare
Stadium.
Besides the cheerlearlers and the
usual yells, the students, particu­larly
the new freshmen, will have
their first look at the captains of
the football team and the members
of the first and second squads.
War Eagle III will make his first
appearance of the season, and the
program will be highlighted by a
spirited speaker.
Superintendent of Spirit Huf-man
urges everyone, particularly
the entering freshmen, come out
Thursday night to meet the team
and get ready to 'Vamp the Vols'
next Saturday.
Auburn Union Features Eleanor Steber
In First Of New Lecture-Concert Series
We Goofed!
After answering our telephone
some 150 times since last Friday,
we have concluded that wc
pulled a boner. Last week's love­liest,
Ann Roberts, is a pledge of
Chi Omega and not Alpha Omi-cron
Pi as stated.
The Plainsman regrets that this
mistake occurred and is happy to
make the correction.
By DIANE MOON
Eleanor Steber will appear on
Monday night,- October 8, at 7:15
p.m. in the Student Activities
building. This presentation is the
first of the season for the Lecture
and Concert series.
Tickets for Miss Steber's per­formance
may be purchased in
room 308 of the Auburn Union.
Admission to the performance is
$2.50, Season tickets for the en­tire
series also may be obtained.
Students will be admitted upon
presentation of their ID cards.
Late permission will be given.
Eleanor Steber has a repertoire
of more than 46 operatic roles
and a wide range of popular mu­sic.
She has appeared with all the
world's leading orchestras. She al­so
has the record of more "first
performances" with the Met than
an.y other modern-day singer.
Miss Steber once completed an
Asian tour of 17 countries in three
months. In many cases, she was
the first Western artist ever to
perform in a city of the Orient.
She has long been the leading so­prano
of the Metropolitan Opera,
and she has made a number of re­cordings.
Her credits .include appearances
on "Voice of Firestone," the Ed
Sullivan Show, arid Steve Allen's
show. Her appearances r a n ge
from an interview on TV's "Per­son
to Person" to a Carnegie Hall
concert sung in four languages
with every conceivable style.
Eleanor Steber
This program prompted the
New York Times to print: "The
concert began by startling the mu­sic
world and ended by leaving it
flabbergasted."
Sorority Rush Ends As
Rush At First Confusing To Everyone
But End Finally Came Wednesday
By HUNTER SMITH
Plainsman Features Writer
Whew! Fall rush is over, much to the relief and joy of
sorority actives and 348 pledges.
These feelings are easily understood. Thursday, Septem­ber
13, at 5:00, prospective pledges, wide-eyed with antici­pation,
entered the chapter rooms.
The first part of rush was fill­ed,
with introductions, "Do you
know . . . ?", "getting-to-know-
•you" conversations, almost blind­i
n g yourself to glimpse nametags
in dim light and racking your
brain to remember at least five
people.
Sororities spent late hours
trying to connect names w i th
faces, and rushees spent the same
hours connecting parties with sor­orities.
(Which party was that
where somebody stepped on my
hand?)
,As the parties progressed, the
excitement and strain increased,
"and when the last theme party
ended, the thoughts were: "Will
she pledge?" "Does that sorority
want me?" "If she steps on my
hand again, I'll brain her!"
Preferential parties were sol-
.emn and impressive. That was a
,hard night for rushees making a
decision which would last for life.
The decisions were made, how­ever,
and squeal night became
just that—a night of squealing,
screaming, "and tears of exhultant
joy. Actives, with spanking new
pledges, converged on the quad­rangle
to introduce their wards
to Auburn:

"If I had it to do over again,
would I take Army R.QIC?
My wife and I are in Panama at the moment. She likes
it. You know, Officers' Club, dances—that sort of thing.
I like it, too. But whether I stay in the Army or not, the
question is: Would I take Army R.O.T.C. if I had it to
do over again? Yes, I certainly would. In spades, I
didn't realize how lucky I was. At the time I figured:
Okay, so I'll get my degree—get an Army commission,
too, and pick up some extra money along the way! I
wasn't the leadership type, I thought. I was wrong. Boy,
was I wrong! Looking back on it, I wouldn't trade the
leadership training I got for anything! Take my word
for it, leaders are made—not born! Whether I stay in
the Army or not, nobody can take away what I've
learned. And let's face it, where can anybody my age
step out of college and walk into a standard of living this
good? Look, if you have already invested two years in
college ROTC, take it from me: Stick it out! It'll be
one of the smartest things you ever did. / say so."

Twenty Auburn University buildings are suitable fall-out
shelters. This fact was brought out by Col. L. E. Funchess
in a talk given to a group at Ida Cason Gardens this past
Saturday. Col. Funchess stated also that these buildings,
which would cut H-bomb effects to one per-cent, were cap­able
of holding 3,000 students.
These staggering statistics will soothe the minds of Au-burnites,
who may sleep well with the realization that in

The Union represents the plans
of students, faculty, and alumni
for campus community life. It is
a center for students to meet and
plan programs and activities.
Under one roof can be found
rooms to meet and party—a kit­chenette
to try out a new recipe
or gather for a snack—a fine cafe­teria
with food prepared by cooks
who specialize — an art exhibit
each month—relaxation at t he
free movies or in t h e reading

which offers varied facilities: air
conditioned comfort for dances,
banquets, fashion shows; stage
equipment for plays and variety
shows such as the annual Spring
Show, written .produced and di­rected
by Auburn students.
The Union desk, which is lo­cated
in the main lobby, is a very
valuable part of Union functions.
At the desk all information about
the Union may be obtained, as
well as the addresses and tele­phone
numbers of all students and
faculty. Here also may be check­out
cards, chess sets, record al­bums,
and ping pong equipment.
Meeting rooms or the ballroom
may be rented.
On the third floor can be found
the offices of all major student or­ganizations.
Among the offices
found here are the Student Body,
W.S.G.A., The IFC, Union Pro­gram
Council, The Glom,erata and
The Plainsman office. On this
floor there are also six meeting
rooms which are available to any
student club or organization.
In the Basement is located the
University Bookstore. Here one
may purchase all the college sup­plies
that are needed. The Book­store
has a complete supply of all
textbooks used here at Auburn,
plus fraternity and sorority de-cals,
Auburn window decals, and
a complete art supply section. The
L. G. Balfour Co. has its agent lo­cated
here to take orders for fra­ternity
and sorority jewelry and
other college jewelry.
The planning of all Union ac­tivities
is done in the .Program
Council Office by the members of
the Auburn Union Program Coun­cil.
The Program Council consists
of eight students who are se­lected
each year by qualifications
and interviews as set forth in the
Union Constitution.
The membership of each com­mittee
consists of any student in­terested
in working to better him­self,
the Union, and Auburn. To
join a committee one should go to
the Union desk and sign one of
the forms stating his interest. He
will then be told of the time and
days the committee meets.

Benjamin M. Dug gar Lectureships
Announced By Drs. Draughon, Smith
The establishment of the Benjamin Minge Dugger Visit­ing
Lectureships in the School of Agricutlure was announced
recently^by President Ralph B. Draughon, and Dr. E. V.
Smith; "dean and director, School of Agriculture and Agri­cultural
Experiment Station.
The lectureships w e r e made
possible by a modest royalty fund
received by the School of Agri­culture
and earmarked for this
purpose. "Although the earmark­ed
fund is modest, it can be the
means of attracting outside foun­dation
support to this program
of intellectual stimulation," ac­cording
to Dean Smith.
"The first Benjamin M i n ge
Duggar lecturer will be Dr.
Richard Mathews, a distinguished
plant virologist from the Uni­versity
of Auckland, New Zea­land.
Dr. Mathews will come to
America under the auspices of the
National S c i e n c e Foundation-
American Institute of Biological
Sciences Visiting Foreign Lec­turers
Program.
The Lectureships honor a na­tive
Alabamian who had a dis­tinguished
career in biological
science. The late Benjamin Minge
Duggar was born and reared at
Galilon in West Central Alabama.
He graduated from Mississippi A
and M with first honors in 1891.
A year later he received the M.S.
degree from the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. He served for
a year as Assistant Director of
Auburn's old Canebrake Experi­ment
Station near Uniontown.
Then he went to Harvard for A.
B. and A.M. degrees and to
Cornell University for his Ph.D.
He also studied at universities in
Germany, Naples, Paris, and
Montpelier.
During his career, Dr. Duggar
taught and did research in Bot­any
and Plant Physiology at the
University of Illinois, Cornell
University, Washington Univer­sity
and the University of Wis­consin.
He was a member of
many learned societies and served
as President of the Botanical So­ciety
of America in 1923, Chair­man
of the Division of Biology
and Agriculture of the National
Research Council in 1925-26, and
President of the American So­ciety
of Plant Physiology in 1946-
47. Although best known, per­haps,
for his discovery of aureo-mycin
after his retirement from
the University of Wisconsin, his
greatest contributions came from
his lifetime of university teach­ing
and research.

WHITE? YOU'RE WRONG
In the recent furor over the assassination of President McKinley,
it may have escaped your notice that a nationwide study of the
writing ability of American college students has just been
published.
The survey reveals an astonishing fact: that when students
have completed their freshman year and are no longer required
to take English, their writing skill progressively declines until
we come to the fantastic situation where graduating senior^
actually are poorer writers of English than incoming freshmerti
Many theories have been offered to account for this incredible
fact. Some say that seniors know less English than freshmen
because all seniors major in French. This is not true. No more
than 94 percent of seniors major in French. How about the
other six percent?
Well sir, of the other six percent, half—or three percent-take
physics, and it is not hard to understand how these poof
souls grow rusty in English when all they ever say is "E equals
MC squared."
Of the remaining three percent, two-thirds—or two percent-major
in whaling, and their English too grows feeble with
disuse. Whalers, as we all know, do not speak at all except to
shout, "Thar she blows!" maybe twice a year.
Of the one percent remaining, it cannot be fairly said that
they are poor writers. The fact is, we don't know what kind of
writers they are. Why not? Because they never write. And why
don't they ever write? Because this remaining one percent of
American college students are enrolled at the University of
Alaska, and never take their mittens off.
(Incidentally, I received quite a surprise upon first visiting
Alaska two years ago when I was invited to Juneau to crown
the Queen of the Annual Date Palm Festival. Frankly I ex-
*S*#i«&#?
pected to find a surly and morose populace. After all, going
through life with your mittens on all the time is hardly calcu­lated
to make you merry as a cricket. Not only can't you write,
but you miss out on all kinds of other fun things—like three
card monte, making shadow pictures on the wall, and lint pick­ing.
However, to my astonishment, I discovered Alaskans to
be a hale and gregarious group, mittens notwithstanding, and
I soon found out why: because mittens notwithstanding, they
could still smoke Marlboro Cigarettes, still enjoy that rich
mellow flavor, that fine, clean Selectrate filter, that truly soft
soft pack, that truly flip-top flip-top box—and that, friends,
will make anybody happy, mittens notwithstanding. In fact,
Alaskans are the happiest people I have ever met in the whole
, United States—except, of course, for the Alaskan vendors of
' Marlboro Cigarettes, who have not been paid in many years—
indeed, never—because how can anybody dig out coins to pay
for cigarettes when he is wearing mittens?)
But I digress. What are we going to do about this deplorable
condition where college students, having completed Freshman
English, become steadily less proficient in the use of the lan­guage?
The answer is simple. We will make them take Fresh­man
English all through college. In fact, wc won't let them take
anything else! This solution, besides producing a nation of
graceful writers, will also solve another harrowing problem:
where to park on campus. If everybody takes nothing but
Freshman English, we can tear down all the schools of law,
medicine, engineering, and whaling, and turn them into parking
lots. Can't We? © 19G2 MaiSbutaura
The makers of Marlboro, who sponsor this column, plead
guilty to being among those Americans whose writing skill
is not all it might be. However, we like to think that as
tobacconists we know a thing or two. Won't you try us and
Bee if you agree?

About Those Football Tickets
The method of distribution of student
"football tickets has been one of the most
.criticized undertakings at Auburn for
-many years. Just as is true with the ma­jority
of other criticisms here, this comes
Tfrom a complete lack of understanding of
the situations and problems involved.
In a recent survey conducted by the stu­dent
body office and the Inter-Fraternity
Council, it was concluded that some schools
Ijad good systems of distribution, some had
'bad ones, but none had a system quite like
,, Auburn's.
itib We are personally familiar with only a
•"few other school's procedures, but we feel
-•'-that a closer look into our own will reveal
more good than bad.
tllii We aren't saying the Auburn way is per-
. Ject by any means and neither does the
athletic department.
"; When a student has been in school for
p'three years and has finally attained the
"all-important senior classification, we think
'he is entitled to more rights and privileges
:.than the underclassmen. He is allowed to
"•register first, park his car in more areas;
-'So why not let him buy his tickets accord­ingly.
But what about fraternity men who want
rjjfb sit in a block? What about the fellow
ii,who wants to take a different girl to every
-ngame?TOf course these are problems that
-are ever present. When one gets down to
"'brass tacks, however, he has to admit that
the individual average student should be
,,,-jhe basis upon which a program of this na­ture
is formed.
If the fraternity men want their pledges
to sit in a block with them, they have to
wait. Is this not fair? We think it is. As for
the cad who has seven or eight different
girl friends, we are envious to a degree but
feel that he is an exception to the general
rule and cannot be given special attention.
The arrangement between the IFC and
the athletic department giving fraternities
a set time to buy their block tickets was
deifnitely a step in the right direction.
Space might well be used here to explain
this innovation.
All fraternities drew cards to determine
the actual date and time of the fraternity
blocks. Special windows will be open and
each fraternity will proceed to the desig­nated
window and will be able to buy all
tickets in a matter of a few minutes. This
will eliminate the problem of long lines
which have heretofore plagued ticket buy­ers.
And just because a fraternity is required
to buy its tickets later than othes, it will
not necessarily have an inferior seating ar­rangement.
We are confident that the ath­letic
department is conducting these ticket
sales in the best possible way at the present
time. We commend them for this.
For those of you who disagree, the office
of Mr. Bill Beckwith is always open for
suggestions;, and it is a standing policy of
his office to try for one year any system
that appears to have more merits than the
present one.
Will Anything Be Done?
uJt A more thorough knowledge of our uni­versity
was to be gained at the second an­nual
Auburn Student Leaders' Conference
• at Callaway Gardens this past Saturday.
"Students and faculty members aired their
"respective views, all expressing the need
' jfor a more dynamic Auburn University,
there were approximately seventy-five in
- ^attendance. This token, number (100 were
*'ihvited) may well reflect a general apathy
.Which has been noticably spreading over
..','the entire campus, choking spirit and
., .school pride in itsh odious path. Why has
^<the so-called "don't give a damn" attitude
grown so popular among us?
The reasons are many; the remedies will
of necessity also be varied.
All but the newly-matriculated freshman
have been aware of the unbalanced political
situation which has existed around them. It
was this system which allowed the student
body no<ehoice in the election of a president
last spring, when there were at least two
qualified individuals who could not both be
nominated due to their membership in the
same political party. The lack of drama in
campus elections caused by situations such
as this fostered greatly the lack of student
interest.
A recommendation was to be prepared
Tuesday and given to the student senate by
a group of leaders who included the chair­men
of both political organizations.
Very little was accomplished in the way
of recommendation. The senate appointed a
committee to further look into the problem.
What it will decide, only a few know. Prob­ably
nothing will be done by fall elections.
If this is the case, no one will blame his fel­low
students for not caring who wins be­cause
everyone will pretty well know be­forehand.
Systems have been proposed, systems
have been rejected . . . but none could leave
our campus in any more repulsive situation
than exists at this moment.
It is our opinion that action of some de­scription
should be taken immediately.
Surely the men who have been selected
leaders of this Auburn student body want
what is best -for the campus as a whole. If
this is not the case, it will be proven shortly
. . . and we have only ourselves to blame.
— Williams.
fie At That Pep Rallyf !
It's the time of year when a boy can
walk around campus with a girl under one
arm and a blanket under the other, and
nobody thinks anything about it. It's a time
when bands play, majorettes twirl, and
young men try—^even beyond their own
expectations—to catch the eyes of the
coach. It's the time when the old school
spirit is at its highest pitch. It's football
time!
The Plains are no exception to this rule,
and tomorrow night is the proper time for
the student body to prove it. We're not just
speaking to the freshman either. We think
they will be there en masse. But what
about the upperclassmen? We doubt that
the stadium will be overrun by them and
this is not good.
This is the first chance of the year for
all of the students to get together, not as
freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors,
but as the student body of Auburn Univer­sity—
rthe student body that posseses the
best spirit in the land.
The band will be there, and for some of
you it will be' your first opportunity to hear
this "better-than-average" ensemble ren­dering
their versions of Auburn's famous
fight songs. The cheerleaders will be there,
and under the leadership of Don Sims, they
show signs of being the best yelling corps
in some years. War Eagle III will be there,
and he needs \o introduction.
The pep rally Ms one of the greatest tra­ditions
of the Auburn campus. This is so
because of the loyalty and support of every
person that was ever a part of Auburn. It
will continue to exist only as long as the
present student body is loyal and support­ing.
When the loyalty is no longer—the
pep rally and the Auburn spirit will also
cease to be. \
So let's all be at Cliff Hare Stadium at
7:30 tomorrow;night and prove to James
Hufham's spirit 'committee, to the football
team, to the coaches, but most of all to our­selves
that the Auburn Spirit is still as
strong as ever.

From The Beach . . .
A Vast Portrayal Of Reality Escaped;
This Is The Beach At Vacation Time
By Harry Wilkinson
The imagery of a people wrap­ped
up in their own little corner
of the world provides fascinat­ing
food for thought. Answers to
multiple questions concerning the
minaled intertwinings of the in­dividual
in a complex society
might well lie in that one little
thought.
Nowhere is this melodramatic
portrayal of 'corner' reality es­caped
better exemplified than at
a summer beach resort. Here the
individual is no longer Johnny
Jones, the puny little cog in the
gigantic wheels of Beast Comp­any
or Grotesque University. He
is the individualist, the idealist
whom his mind's eye has always
admired.
He often becomes so engrossed
with the drama of it all that he
actually exists as this creation of
idealism. Meekness gives way to
r a s h self-confidence. Subser­vience
steps aside for the direct
approach and demanding de­meanor
of the top executive.
Timidity tiptoes away to security
as the brash, newborn wolf em­erges
from his lair. The book­worm
crawls under the sand in
shame upon hearing the feats of
masculine strength which have
so long been oblivious to him
while in the power of this phy­sical
apparition called man.
These are only a few of the
multifold reactions of m a n we
have all seen on some favorite
paradise called a beach. And yet,
what is the significance of such
ection? It seems somewhat silly
as we look at it here from our
glorified academic environment.
On the other hand, it is ourselves
that we are so amused about.
What is the meaning of all this?
Why do we see ourselves stand­ing
out prominently in this por­trait
of the ridiculous? What can
a little strip of white sand do to
affect the actions of man al­mighty?
Perhaps it is symbolism.
Perhaps this little strip of white
sand is the dividing line. On one
side is the land, representing the
reality of our limitations and
suppressed egos. On the other
is the sea, representing some­what
of a mysterious realm
where we might exist as we do
within our mind's eye.
The sand strip or dividing line
is merely a reprieve granted to
us. Those over on the reality side
would call it a vacation. It is a
time when we can cross over the
bridge to idealism for a week or
two. We know that we can't re­main
long, but rest and relaxa­tion
are to be found in just get­ting
away from our real-selves
for awhile. Maybe this is the rea­son
that movies consistently por­tray
those depraved beings run­ning
into the sea and perishing.
The beach symbolism and utter
futility of their individual real­ity
has made the impossible jttmp
worth a try.
Does this in actuality then not
relate somewhat to a primary
purpose of our churches, a means
of peace for soul and mind?
Surely it is being sought in an
entirely different manner and
setting. But if we think about it
for awhile, peace of soul, mind,
and body is likely what we seek,
from the symbolic beach. There
are no atheists on beaches. We
are all seeking unreality in some
form or fashion. '
But we must return! Then we
actually do see and feel our limi­tations
after all. Our mind's eye
is forced to lay aside this auda­cious
rampage and return to
normality. However, it is not
shut. It is never shut. Those on
the other side might well call
this planning for next year's va­cation.
A few perhaps will find
spiritual, mental and physical
peace in a church back home.
Their mind's eye might now be
forever opened and living in hu­man
form. They no longer need
the beach.
A great number of us however
will be amongst those who are
planning for next year. Oh but
too soon again say, "Good-bye
meekness, subservience, timidity
and academic demon." Perhaps
even the mountains will make a
good divider next year.
Thus the Johnny Joneses of
Beast Company and Grotesque
University leave the beach. But
somewhere f r o m within the
depths of our educational heri­tage,
we hear a voice in resonant
tones declare, "I am the captain
of my soul." From the glittering
sun and sand of the beach, one
cannot help but wonder.

Inconsistencies In Auburn Censorship
Bring Wrath From Worried Columnist
by Milton Williams
Upon being asked one's opin­ions
on things in general, one
(preferably the same one) looks
around and reviews the campus,
the town, etc. The thing which
caught my eye was this book.
It is one of these books with a
cute little honey on the front.
No one could possibly explain
to me why anyone would want
to cover a literary garbage pile
with her. I mean really, she is
surrounded with all sorts of
lousy titles .The book an excep­tional
junkpile gem. You can buy
it here in Auburn.
That's not all the entertain­ment
you can find in our quaint
city though. On various nights
(after many hours of studying)
Auburn masculinity can exper­ience
the thrill of standing in line
for forty-five minutes to enjoy
films such as "Sunday Undies,"
or what have you.
A real inconsistency is found
in the fact that some magazines
of which I heartily approve are
banned from the news stands by
some old maid school teacher or
something. Certain of the above-mentioned
publications include in
their pages features about cloth­ing,
manners, college-type read­ing
. . . sort of Mademoiselle for
males. ,
What are the standards which
are used for the banning process
in Auburn? Why don't the indi­viduals
who have a hand in this

Responsibilities And New Plans Of Student Government
Give Promise Of Active And Progressive School Year
It is of significance, I think, to
note the fact that, as such, there
is no Student Government Asso­ciation
at Auburn. Far be it from
the truth that there is no student
government in the sense that stu­dents
are unable to practice the
responsibilities and powers of
self-government, for we are ex­tremely
fortunate in the vast
freedom and confidence which we
are accorded.
As far as official terms are con­cerned,
however, it is • merely er­roneous
to speak- of' the Student
Government Association or the
S.G.A. at Auburn. "There just
ain't no such thing."
According to the Student Body
Constitution, which kind of holds
the last word in such things, all
Auburn students are organized
into the "Student Body of Auburn
University." This organization is
further sub-organized into the
Legislative, the Executive, and the
Judicial branches with the many
various offices and positions in
each. Thus, we are officers of the
Student Body just as others are
officers of a campus club or or­ganization.
I would dare to claim,
however, the largest membership
of all!
By Bert Hitchcock
Student Body President
Generally . . . From the Union
third floor office of the student
body, one can see quite a panora­ma.
Across the traditional setting
most of the nine thousand students
of Auburn University seem to pass
at one time or another. It is an
awesome sight, for with it comes
realization of a tremendous re­sponsibility.
The joy and the sad­ness
in lives are played out here
on this little stage; the variety and
diversity inherent in this number
of individuals makes itself clearly
evident to a perceptive eye.
Entrusted with a responsibility
for every one of these persons is
the President of the Auburn Stu­dent
Body. Through the process of
democratic election, this person
has been chosen, whether every­one
likes it or not, to officially
represent them in innumerable
matters of vital importance to each
student. To the Auburn adminis­tration,
to other colleges and uni­versities,
to the general public,
this person.speaks for the students
of Auburn University.
Representation of the student is
the very basic motivating force
behind every action of the Presi­dent.

Writer Searches Campus For Gripes;
But Moonlit Night Dictates Tranquility
By Don Phillips
For the past several hours I
have been walking around cam­pus,
racking my brains trying to
think of something to complain
about. A Plainsman editorial page
just doesn't sit right with me if
there isn't some kind of complaint
on it.
But I keep coming up with a
blank. It's one of those lazy late
summer nights we hear so much
1 about, and the sight of the cam­pus
aglow with the crescent moon
soothes rather than incites me.
Oh, I suppose-I could, find some­thing
worth griping about if I
looked hard enough. I could say
something about the barn we
sometimes call a Sports Arena,
but that's a matter to worry about
when basketball season rolls
around.
If I wanted something more
timely to complain about, I guess
I could mention the way we sell
student football tickets around
here. But apparently there has
been some improvement in the
system of late, and besides, it's too
late to do anything about it this
year.
Of course if I wanted to dig
deep enough, there's always that
eternal Plainsman whipping boy
—<-the Administration. But I don't
feel like going on any treasure
hunts tonight. And a n, y w a y
they've been pretty good boys
lately as far as I can tell.
Speaking of the Administra­tion,
have you ever noticed the
way Dean Foy struts with his
hands in his pockets at a pep ral­ly.
Try it sometime without losing
your balance—it's not as easy as
it looks. Maybe he has something
to strut about. Auburn isn't such
a bad place when you think about
it.
Anyway—back to the subject.
I thought about discussing the
apparent lack of communication
between student government and
the student body, but I drew a
blank on that too. I couldn't figure
out what it was they wanted to
communicate. Apparently Bert
and his boys are off to a pretty
good start though, and if good in­tentions
are any measure of suc­cess,
it should be a good year.
One campus organization I've
noticed coming under a lot of
criticism lately is the IFC, prob­ably
because of the new rush sys­tem.
One day last week I was
talking with a certain IFC offi­cer
and no fewer than three dif­ferent
people interrupted us with
some kind of complaint about pre-rush
or the way the IFC was
handling it. Oddest thing — they
were .all girls.
If I were in the mood, there's
something I'd really like to com­plain
about: Auburn . . . the city,
that is. No one at home will be- ,
lieve me when I tell them that
Auburn has the second highest
cost of living of any town its size
in the country, and yet pays stu­dents
who must have jobs to stay
in school as little as 65 cents an
hour. But, as I said, I'm not in a
complaining mood, so I won't say
anything.
Bubba Long, our illustrious pho
tographer, just dropped into the
office and was in the same tran­quil
mood I am. We shot the bull
a while and came up with a pret­ty
impressive list of things to
complain about—the Governor,
the Legislature, WSGA rules, li­brary
vandalism, cheating in
class, the local tax on cigarettes,
sorority houses, the Cuban situa­tion,
Communism, the national
debt, foreign aid, the still-in-ef-fect
Playboy ban, and on, and'on,
and on . . .
But, as I mentioned before, it's
one of those lazy late summer Sat­urday
nights ,and we just couldn't
bring ourselves to do it.
In case you're wondering what
we're doing in the Plainsman of­fice
on Saturday night, that's an­other
thing we'd like to complain
about—the date-breaking habits
of the Auburn female.
I think I'll go to bed.
stitution or Student Body laws, or
whether it be a speech at a high
school or his everyday actions
around the campus, this man to
many eyes is YOU.
This should all give us some­thing
to think about. In the
troubled times in which we find
ourselves today, the responsibility
becomes even greater and the
realizations more important to
. both the President and the stu­dents
he serves.
Specifically . . . Now that we
have hit somewhat at the idealistic
plane, the practical question of
"What exactly do you do?" still
probably exists. Two jobs immed­iately
waiting for the Student
Body President when -he returns
in the fall are the Student Acti­vities
Convocation and the Stu­dent
Leaders' Meeting. Over for­ty
students are presented to the
incoming freshmen during one of
their orientation convocations with
the hope of informing them and
arousing their interest in the many
student activities. Secondly, the
Student Leaders' meeting was ini­tiated
last year in an effort to get
these people acquainted with the
numerous facets of student life
here at Auburn. Some seventy stu­dents
and staff members attended
this year's all day session. In both
cases, responsibility for the pro­gram
and all arrangements falls
to the Student Body President.
• In addition this year, active
preparations are under way for
the hosting of the Third Annual
Publications Workshop of the
Southern Universities Student
Government Association. Some
two hundred visitors from fifty
colleges and universities are ex­pected
to visit Auburn for the two
day meeting beginning October 18.
Plans are also being formulated
and preparations made for Better
Relations Meetings with Georgia,
Georgia Tech and the University
of Alabama. An intensive and ex­tensive
high school relations pro­gram
has been initiated this year
in which Student Body officers
will play an important part. The
Student Senate was called into
session yesterday, and the Student .
Body Executive Cabinet meets
tomorrow afternoon. Machinery
for the reactivation of numerous
student and joint committees has
been set in motion, and possibili­ties
for new and needed commit­tees
are being thoroughly investi­gated.
All in all, the Student Body Of­fice
is humming with activity. I-I
hope that this initial work will
be indicative of a very significant
and progressive coming year.
A Self-Examination . . .
Paper Is Means For Fostering Spirit
Not Seedbed For Useless Controversy
By John Dixon
.What is the purpose of a uni­versity
newspaper? Is it to pub­lish
news of the school, articles
and pictures of fraternity sweet­hearts,
ideas on the editorial
page for improvement, exciting
news of the sports field, or crea-tive>
stories on the feature page?
Of course, these1 pieces fit to­gether
to form the obvious sur­face
of the publication, but yet
this is not really all that a paper
does. Some intangible motive
lurks behind all this.
Perhaps that purpose is best
stated as you find it just below
the Plainsman masthead on the
front page; "To Foster the Au­burn
Spirit." Somehow everything
that is put into the Plainsman
should aim for this. With some­thing
as subjective as the Auburn
Spirit as a goal, certainly there
can be no clear-cut method for
attainment.
Auburn Spirit in its best sense
can be thought of as enthusiastic
loyalty of the student body for
the university in its entirety.
Within the bounds of this loyalty
surely there is room for construc­tive
criticism. Then it naturally
follows that one of the jobs of
the Plainsman is to provide this.
However, one must realize that
there are limits to constructive
criticism. When an editorial col­umn
outsteps these boundaries to
complain and criticize beyond its
effective scope, whether censure
is well-founded or not, then it
defeats the purpose of the organi­zation
of which it is a part. Con­troversy
for its own sake is
worthless—in fact, it hinders ra­ther
than improves.
However, there is another fac­tor
which enters t h i s already
complicated picture—"when is
this criticism good?" Some ideas
.for improvement do not "Fester
the Auburn Spirit;" some foster'
it. College newspapers are be­coming
a more and more critical
force in university life. Some of
the more narrow-minded people'
think that nothing can be said
which could be possibly delete­rious
to the "public image" of
o the institution. In such a situa­tion
where this lack of consid­eration
of values exists, there
would certainly be a type of pseu-do
harmony between and among
the administration and the stu­dent
body. It might be all har­mony,
but does not this produce
an unbelievably dismal prospec­tive
to college life? We must
realize that surely the best way
to defend Auburn is to cha".lenge
its laults and misconception! and
then urge prompt correction. Isn't \
this true spirit?
Criticism of traditional sub­jects
hurts, and in some cases it
can cause serious resentment on
the part of the faculty and ad­ministration
as well. as the stu­dent
body. Should adult man­agers
of the university exercise
control over a student publica­tion?
The paper, which h really
the most influential vehicle for
voicing student views, should
never be muffled for as long as
an editor can realize the effec­tive
scope of an editorial as des­cribed
before.
A columnist must be m o re
and more prone to stand up for
his beliefs, but behind everything
he says in criticism there must
be the question: "Will this article
promote helpful thought or will
it merely cause unnecessary agi­tation?"
With such considered
freedom the limits no longer ex­ist
for possible improvement of
the college and betterment of the
intangible but ever present Au­burn
Spirit. >

Police Chief Anticipates
Auburn's Heavy Traffic
Anticipating t h e heaviest traffic in Auburn history during
the next few weeks, Police Chief Fred Hammock today asked
for complete cooperation from all drivers .and pedestrians
and warned that all parking and driving regulations will be
enforced strictly. With the opening of Auburn University's
fall quarter now underway,
signs of congestion on local streets
already are evident.
In promising a stringent crack­down,
Chief Hammock said that
his department is tightening up
not only on such violations as
reckless driving, speeding and
driving while intoxicated but al­so
is going to keep a sharp look­out
for red-light violations, ille­gal
turns at marked intersections
and between intersections, . and
careless driving which might cre­ate
additional hazards.
Also in for extra attention are
motor scooters and bicycles. Chief
Hammock pointed out that motor
scooters of all sizes must have
license tags and drivers of all
motorized vehicles must be... li­censed.
"These requirements will
be constantly checked and care­fully
enforced," Hammock de-'
clared.
He also noted that motor seoot-ers
must have a headlight and
tail light, and that bicycles must
have a headlight and rear reflec­tor.
Chief Hammock called atten­tion
to a city ordinance adopted
last year which restricts .turns
between intersections on College
St. from Mitcham Ave. to Mag­nolia
Ave. and on Magnolia from
College to Gay St.. U-turns there
are illegal, and left turns'are also
forbidden if made for the pur­pose
of parking on the opposite
side of a street or for reversing
directions. (Left turns are per­mitted
if the driver is entering
an alley or parking lot.)
• Turning left at the intersection
of College St. and Magnolia Ave.
is prohibited between 6 a.m. and
6 p.m. or at any time the no-left-turn
marker is present.
Overtime parking in metered
spaces and parking in prohibited
zones also are receiving more at­tention.
Parking in zones autho­rized
for parallel parking is a
violation if the car is facing the
wrong direction and tickets will
be issued for this offense, Ham­mock
emphasized.
Widening of N. Gay St. fias
permitted making a third lane
and an additional turning lane,
and this is expected to facilitate
the flow of traffic. It
Young Republicans
Organize Program
Early this week the executive
committee of the Auburn YoUng
Republicans Club hold its first
organizational meeting. The pur­pose
of the meeting was to set
the date for the first full meeting
and to discuss projected club ac­tivities
lor the year.
Officers for the coming year
are John Dickas, president; Dick
Lane, vice president; Jacque Joy-ner,
recording, secretary; Emmy.
Fisher, corresponding" secretary;
and Perrin-Bryant, treasurer.
The first meeting of. the year
will be held, on Tuesday evening,
October 2, at 7:00 in room 202,
Thach Hall.
The club this year, in addition
to its regular meetings, plans to
sponsor several speakers on cam­pus,
and to continue having films
of an anti-communist nature.
Last year the club sponsored
several films and ended the year
with the appearance of Fulton
Lewis III with the film Opera­tion
Abolition.
Anyone interested in learning
more about political affairs in
general and in the conservative
movement is invited to attend the
club meetings, especially the first
one to be held October 2.
Those interested may call John
Dickas at 7-7856 for additional

State Fair Exhibit
Shows New Purpose
Auburn University's State Fair
exhibit to be held in Birmingham
from October 1st to 6th this y&ar
will be directed solely toward rrigh
school students. The theme and
individual exhibits have been de­termined
by the new department
of high school relations headedvt>y
Mr. Herb Hawkins with the Co­operation
of Ned Pierce, superin­tendent
of high school relations.
The exhibit will be free for all
of the 350,000 people expected .to
attend-the State Fair, including'm-numerable
county and city s'ru-dents
from the Birmingham area.
For many years Auburn Ugi-sity
has had an exhibit in &ie
State Fair, but this is the first
time that it has been aimed to ap­peal
only to older high scH6ol
students. The entire program .Will
induce a prospective Auburn stu­dent
to join our student body.
Literature pertaining to Auburn
activities will be available with­out
charge to supplement the ac­tual
exhibit, which will include
pictures and items of interest con­cerning
pur school functions.
In addition to the , exhibit it­self,
each day of the fair there
will be two prominent student
leaders present, whose job it will
be to answer questions and dis­cuss
Auburn University bothv in
its entirety and its individual seg­ments.
The following will alter­nate
-serving at the, exhibit booth-
Gary Suttle, Bert Hitchcock, Ned
Pierce, Brian Mitchell, Lesjer
Crawford, Danny Paul, Suelfen
Robinson, Margaret Moore, Ha-den
Harris, Carolyn Rollins, Vic­kie
Givan, and Jenny Hodges.
The new purpose behind Au­burn's
exhibit should make tjiis
year's State Fair one pi the most
beneficial ever by creating m&Ye
interest in, o^r university among
the high school students. •

Game Set Saturday In Legion Field
Call it Football—
The name of the game is football. But after picking two losers,
Vanderbilt and Duke, last week, we're changing' the name to "Whom
do you trust" . . . and we don't trust anybody. Matter of fact, mis­trust
will be the watchword as we view tilts between Georgia Tech-
Florida and Alabama-Tulane. Gators and Greenies will be defending
the lair, and know the swamps much better than their opponents.
This fact may o,r may not offset the stronger visiting teams. These
. two should be interesting.
We've had our.flask (of yak milk) packed since last spring quar­ter
in anticipation of the tiger onslaught which commences this com­ing
Saturday. Tennessee is loaded for bear and Tiger this season. Any­how,
this is the rumor they have started, and have some of the un­learned
folk believing. We seem to vaguely remember that they were
in a similar tranquil state when they were clawed pretty badly by
the Tiger eleven last year. It could happen. r , . • __-.'
One thing, is dead certain . . . we will win all,the parties to be
held after the. athletic contest.
Hope on the horizon
There is a hurricane building up on the southern tip of Florida.
It started-last- spring, small at first, but as it grew older and more
experienced it. gaiiied momentum. This hurricane is calculated to
bring devistation to a football team that resides in Denny Stadium,
right here in Alabama. . .
The name of this disturbance is Miami. Andy Gustafson controls
the Hurricanes and has sent out the word that he is looking for
Bama. With the aid of George Mira, who. gained 1,000 yards passing
as a sophomore—he may stop the Tide before the snow falls. Little
doubt that the Hurricanes will keep their shiny bright record this
coming week against TCU.
Beat Bama? Let's hope so. ._.__'
Unquorables . .-'.
Seems that on many occasions the sweet Auburn female is chided
for almost any reason handy. We feel that this is very unfair and to
make amends for this foul treatment . . .
Attention sweet Auburn females, these are your actual state­ments:
"Yes, I understand football. There is a fullback, two halfbacks,
and four quarterbacks."
"I don't think football is fair to that little man who has to get
down and hup the ball."
As we write, the Liston-Patterson fight is in the future. As you
read, it is history. Liston, the man with the steel rod for a left hand
has won by a knockout and is Heavyweight Champion of the world.
Boxing, as all other sports, needs a hero in the true Backwoodsy
Americana tradition. Liston is not the hero type. He is a setback to
boxing.
(Oh yes ,if Patterson won we prohably won't even be attending
class Wednesday.)
By GEORGE GARDNER
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers journey to Birmingham this Saturday
to open their long-awaited 1962 season against the highly-rated
University of Tennessee Volunteers. As thousands of
fans from all over the Southeast converge on Legion Field
to watch this annual battle, the Tigers will answer the start­ing
whistle led by a host of am­bitious
sophomores. These new­comers
will be mixed with a
handful of returning lettermen
from last season's somewhat dis­appointing
squad.
With the loss of nine regulars
from the starting team of last
year's 6-4 ball club, several of
the sophs will likely find them­selves
in a starting role against
the Volunteers this Saturday.
This is reputedly Coach Jor­dan's
greatest rebuilding y e ar
since 1952, and he appears to be
building on a soiid foundation.
The young Tigers have toiled
long and hard since last spring,
and a season opening victory over
the Vols would be a just reward
for their spirited efforts.
Coach Jordan is faced with a
brilliant array of backfield talent
and ample material at tackle.
The chief problems facing the
Auburn coaching staff will be to
find the right backfield combina­tion
to best utilize the talent on
hand, and a defense to stop the
potent single wing attack of the
Vols.
The Tiger backfield will be di­rected
by Mailon Kent, who has
developed into an able field gen­eral.
In his command will be a
host of big fleet backs, with most
of the help coming from Larry
Laster, Jimmy Burson, and the
hard-hitting R a w s o n brothers,
Larry and David. Tucker Fred-erickson,
George Rose, Mickey
Sutton, and Joe Overton are also
counted upon to see much action
in Saturday's encounter.
The Auburn line will be an­chored
by experienced tackles
George Gross, David Hill, J oe
Baughan, and Winky Giddens—
all seniors and all lettermen.
Guard is supposedly t h e weak
position, but Jimmy Jones, Bill
Van Dyke, David Brock, and Her­man
Wilkes could have the situa­tion
well in hand by game time.
Big Jim Price is capable at the
center position, with Howard
Simpson and Don Downs leading
the end corps.
The final rough a n d tumble
scrimmage prior to the Tennessee
encounter was encouraging in
that there were no further major
injuries, but the results Saturday
were not outstanding. However,
the Tigers have shown much
spirit in this week's practice ses­sions.
The Vols will be led by Mai­lon
Faircloth, the greatest tail­back
in Tennessee's history since
John Majors. Wayne Coleman
and Ken Honea present a solid
front at the important blocking
back position. Tackle appears to
be the strong point in the line,
with Kenny Brown and Paul Til-son
on the left side, and Tom
Williams and Dick Evey on the
right. Tennessee has an able field
goal kicker in George Shuford,
who bo.ted a 53 yarder against
Alabama last season.
Tennessee is the only team in
the SEC still employing the single,
wing and is also the only team
the Tigers will meet this year
with such an offense. It is espec­ially
difficult for sophomores to
adjust to this unique type of at­tack.
Since sophs will play an
important role in the Auburn de­fense,
many long hours of prac­tice
scrimmage have been de-

voted to stopping this offensive
formation.
The defensive end work against
Tennessee's single wing is espe­cially
vital. The Vols are noted
for their reverses and double re­verses,
and the job of stopping
these plays will fall primarily
upon Auburn's defensive ends. •
The Vols have been highly rat­ed
in the pre-season predictions,
and there is every reason to be­lieve
that they will live up to
their expectations. H o w e v e r,
since this Saturday will be the
opening game for both yteams,
there is no concrete way to pre­dict
the outcome of this encoun­ter.
By game time, the Tigers
will probably be seven point un­derdogs.
The Vols appear much
stronger on paper, but Auburn's
untested sophs in the backfield
must be considered to make the
picture complete.
The Tiger-Vol match, usually
a hard-nosed defensive battle,
should not be a repeat of last
year's high scoring game. The
Auburn team wound up on the
long end of a 24-21 score in 1961,
and the game was as wide open
as the score indicates. This will
be the fourteenth meeting on the
gridiron between t h e s e two
schools, with t h e Vols holding
seven wins and the Tigers six.
Normally a low-scoring contest,
to date eight games in the series
have resulted in shutouts.
The probable starting lineups
for Saturday are as follows:
Auburn Tennessee
Simpson LE Canale
Vaughn LT Tilson
Jones LG Sullivan
Price C Helton
Van Dyke RG Richards

Unheralded Tigers
May Make News
In Coming Season
Each fall at most Southeastern
Conference schools an unknown
comes along to enter the football
picture. Auburn now stands ready
to present two such boys, and
never have any gridders been less
known than this pair.
They are left end Mike Helms
of Clayton and right guard Ernie
Warren of Marietta, Ga. Both
started last spring on the fifth
team, and neither has advanced
far enough to ever get a picture
taken by Auburn's publicity de­partment
or the press. Helms isn't
even listed on the team roster in
Auburn's football brochure or on
the schedule card (his number
is 86); Waren has gained this
much "fame."
Today they both appear certain
to put in playing time this fall
with the second unit. Warren is
a solid No. 2 man at right guard,
while Helms has made rapid ad­vancement,
especially on defense,
and is counted on at end.
"Helms came along- very strong
at the end of spring practice and
had an excellent A-Day game,"
said head coach Ralph Jordan.
"He's tough and ready, and we
wouldn't worry about him at all
on defense because he's got that
knack. Offensively, he's improved
quickly this fall."
!
Helms stands 6-1, weighs 195.
Warren is another sophomore, a
true 100-percenter who w i ll
knock with anybody for any
length of time. He's not consid­ered
an outstanding athlete, but
is most willing. At 5-11, 192
pounds, he'll be the smallest Ti­ger
guard in many a year.

"Plainsmen Dormitories" Of Highest Quality Wfrere comfort prevails . .
By GERALD RUTBERG
Plainsman Sports Writer
Latest addition to the ever expanding Auburn athletic
facilities is t h e ultra-modern $625,000 dormitory and dining
complex which provides a home for all of Auburn's athletes
a t t e n d i n g school through grant-in-aids. This magnificent edi­fice,
which is divided into two buildings is a combination
of comfort, beauty and practi­cality.
It. is the result of exten­sive
study into modern design
and its completion is a tribute to
those who assisted in its plan­ning.
"We studied the hallway situa­tion
thoroughly before going to
the mot'el design and decided the
hallways are where most, of your
trouble occurs. Georgia h a d a
striking example of this last
spring when their top quarter­back
(Larry Rakestraw) injured
his ankle," Coach Jordan w as
quoted as saying. Coach Jordan
now feels that Auburn has the
finest athletic quarters in the
SEC. He also hastens to add that
the entire cost of this structure
was paid for by the athletic de­partment,
thus relieving the tax­payers
of Alabama of any finan­cial
burden.
The dormitory section has 24
bedrooms on each of three levels
and sleeps two per room. Each
boy has a closet, chest of draw­ers,
study desk and bookshelf. A
master bath connects with four
rooms and is designed to accom­modate
eight athletes. Each room
has ducted heat and air-condi­tioning
with fingertip control en­abling
the temperature to be set
in accordance with individual
preference.
Specially constructed s e v en
foot beds w i t h posturepedic
springs a n d mattresses prevail
throughout the building. One
hundred forty-four men can be
housed in the dormitory section,
however SEC regulations permit
a total of only 140 grant-in-aids
for all sports combined.
Second division of this two-part
plant consists of a recep­tion
lounge, a large conference
room which subdivides into three
smaller conference rooms, a din­ing
hall, a huge, modern kitchen
and a three-bedroom suite for
the athletic counselor. The re­ception
area is equipped with a
color television which was a gift
from the father of one of the
players. The entire division is
connected to the dormitory area
by a second story corridor, and
is easily acessible from any loca­tion.
A paved parking area is ad­jacent
to .the buildings with.room
for 200 cars.
The dining hall can seat 300
people and tables can accommo­date
six each with meals being
served family style.
According to Mrs. Kennedy,
the dietitician, it takes a great
deal of food to serve three good
meals a day as "those boys 'eat
a lot of steak and potatoes." The
monthly food b i l l is approxi­mately
$10,000. Fully equipped
with the latest and finest utensils
the kitchen features a walk-in
deep freeze, walk-in cooler, ex­pansive
pantry, two storage cool­ers,
four ovens, two grills, and
two deep-fat fryers. AH employ­ees
are required to shower before
starting work and must don
clean, white uniforms each day.
Lockers are provided in the base­ment
for them also.
Another important aspect of
this development is that recruit­ing
wiil be aided immeasureably
for living quarters and general
physical facilities weigh heavily
in a prospect's mind, especially
one who may be sought after by
several schools desirous of h i s
services. With the completion of
Auburn's new quarters a recruit­er
should find that his job will
be easier and the calibre of fu­ture
Auburnites will be of the
same or better quality as in the
past, though competition in this
field has increased in recent
years.
Health a n d study wise, this
structure should encourage per­sonal
hygiene as well as a com­fortable
atmosphere in which to
spend study hours.
In closing it must be said that
no expense has been spared to
bring the Tigers the finest of its
kind.
THE SPACIOUS ROOMS provide all the essentials for comry
fortable living and good studying. Each room holds two boys and;,
provides large closet space, comfortable beds, full sized desksFI;
and built in bookshelves. The completely air conditioned buildm
ing also has a modern kitchen and dining room plus a spaciousn
living room with a color television. <i'|

The fabled Plainsman staff did rather well last week despite the losses by Vandy and Duke. We are
very bitter at these two schools for losing after all of us picked them to win. In fact, we are so bitter at
Vandy that we recommend they be dropped from the SEC and that Miami or Memphis State be included.
Well, so much for our poor sportsmanship. This week will be a very different story entirely because we
are all picking Vandy to lose, and are not even putting Duke in the predictions. We would like to wel­come
Don Phillips to our team of experts this week as he tries to pit his luck against our skill. If any of
you readers think you can beat us you are invited to bring your predictions to the Plainsman office be­fore
Saturday. Good luck you innocent non-believers of our fabulous skill!

As WRA Begins j
Fall Sports Program
By EMMY FISHER
The Women'* Recreation Asso­ciation
is now in the process of
planning the fall quarter intra­murals.
Tournaments will be held
in volleyball, co-rec volleyball,
shuffeboard and table tennis sin­gles
and doubles.
Any dorm, sorority, religious or
any other group or individual is
invited to participate in the com­petitions
sponsored by the WRA.
The first WRA meeting of the
quarter will- be held on October
A representative from each
group should attend this meeting.
VicHors in the fall 1961 tourna­ments
were Dorm 8, volleyball,
and Delta Zeta-Delta Chi, co-rec
volleyball. Frances Arrendale of
Dorm 12, Gene Culver and Alice
Marie y enable of AGD came out
on top in the shuffleboard singles
and doubles. AGD participant
Suella Harris and the DDD team
of Joyce Garrett and Jill Rosenau
won the singles and doubles in the
table tennis tournament.
WRA sponsored a program wel­coming
freshmen and transfer
women on October 24, at Graves
Centre Amphitheatre. The Au-1
burn Dance Corps under the di­rection
of Mrs. Louise Turner pre­sented
several modern jazz num­bers.
The Delta Combo with fea­tured
singer Laurie Wise enter­tained
also. At the conclusion of
the program the . 1962-63 WRA
handbooks were distributed and
free cokes were served.
The Dolphin Club will -hold
tryouts for membership on Octo­ber
8. This is an honorary syn­chronized
swim for girls and boys.
Heading WRA this year is
president Judy Nixon. Other of-,
ficers include Joyce Garrett, vice,
president; Ann Denton, secretary-treasurer;
Kathy Walker,' publi­city;
Fran Davis, handbook edi­tor.

Southeastern Conference foot­ball
enters its second week with
five conference games scheduled.
Only LSU and Miss State play
non-conference opponents.
Auburn a n d Tennessee open
their seasons in Birmingham be­fore
approximately 45,000 fans.
Tennessee expects to have their
best team in recent years, while
Auburn relies on a team with
much potential but lacking ex­perience.
Alabama was very impressive
in a 35 to 0 win over the Georgia
Bulldogs; but this week they
move from "home" Birmingham
to meet Tulane in New Orleans.
Tulane didn't appear very strong
in a 6-3 loss to Sanford, but the
Greenies always seem to play one
of their best games against the
Tide. Even though the "jinx"
may be on the Tide against Tu­lane,
Alabama is picked by most
fans to be a solid favorite.
Georgia Tech plays Florida in
what could be the best game of
the week. Both teams scored im­pressive
wins last week. Tech
downed Clemson 26 to 9 in At­lanta
while Florida beat Miss.
State 19 to 9 in Jackson. The
game is being played in Gaines­ville
before the Florida fans and
will probably be a physiological
advantage for the Gators.
Georgia and Vanderbilt will
both be seeking their first win of
the season. West Virginia beat
Vanderbilt 26 to 0 last week
while Georgia looked less than
impressive in a 35 to 0 loss to
Alabama. Both teams will be
fighting back after lopsided de­feats
and the game should be
hard fought.
In the only other game involv­ing
SEC teams Mississippi State
plays Tampa in Starkeville. Tins
should be a "breather" for Miss.
State, but after their 19 to 9 loss
to Florida last week, they should
be ready to play.
