Auburn Student To Be Guest of 'Bride
And Groom' Hollywood Program Today
By Jim Forrester
To-day is one of the big days
in The life of Auburn student
Robert O. Baxter, junior in indus­trial
management. After -months
of preparation, the moment has
finally arrived. To-day he will
be wed to Miss Peggy Baxter of
Birmingham. However, this is no
ordinary wedding, j The ceremony
will take place in Hollywood, and
following the services Bob and
Peggy will be guests of the "Bride
and Groom" radio show. The
sponsors, as sponsors are wont to
do, will lavish numerous valuable
gifts upon the newly weds. Tops
among these will be a week long
honeymoon,, with all expenses
paid, at some exclusive resort.
The location of the honeymoon
site will not be disclosed until
the couple is ready to depart.
Neither Bob nor Peggy are sure
just who fu;st„ha4.|the idea of
making an application to the
show. They had beard the pro­gram,
and had talked about it,
. but weren't sure how to go about
getting an application or even
that they wanted to get one.
Finally, in November Peggy wrote
in for an application form. Bob
says when it arrived it looked
exactly like an application for a
job, with one exception. On the
back there was a space for a
short story about their romance.
This history was the basis for

selection of the couples to appear
on the program. Bob wrote it, and
he's pretty proud of his work on
it. After he and Peggy checked
it carefully, and after they'd
asked a dozen or so friends to
read it, they sealed it and drop­ped
it into the mail. It wasn't
too long before they were noti­fied
they'd been selected. They
had requested December 26 as
their wedding date, but the pro­gram
was booked solid until
January 28.

Pajama-clad, and resting after
the long drive from New York,
Coach Brown joked with mem­bers
of The Plainsman staff and
kidded Marshall by calling him
"fat boy." But he spoke seriously
aboufthe future of Auburn foot­ball.
When told of the "Wait 'til
next year" attitude which has
prevailed here, Brown had an
optimistic outlook for the stu­dent
body. "The student body and
alumni solidly behind a team can
do wonders for a squad and the
coaches when they know they
have full cooperation," he said,
i Open Practice
"And about practice," he said,
"I want all, students to know that
they're welcome to 'come and
watch the boys workout." "Of
course^Jie added, "there will be
restrictions just before games,
but we want the students, squad
members, and coaching staff to
feel as if they're all one working
unit."
Both coaches said they were
anxious to get acquainted with
all the football players, and to
begin practice as soon as possible.
"Right now; all I know about the
squad is what I've read in the
papers, and what I've heard,"
Brown said. "There is a lot to
do," he continued, "and six weeks,
although it sounds like a long
time, is actually very short to us."
(Winter practice will begin Mon­day).
When asked what he most ex­pects
from line prospects, Coach
Marshall summed up the situation
when he said he "wanted men
who' could think and act—but
most of all, to think."
Brown and Marshall were
teammates at Notre Dame. They
have worked together for the past
'Mighty Happy
Over Post/ Voyles
Ex-Auburn Boss
Is Dodger Chief
In a telephone conversation
late Wednesday night from
Brooklyn, N. Y., ex-Auburn
Coach Carl Voyles told Neil Da­vis,
editor of the Lee County
Bulletin, that he had signed a
one-year contract to coach the
Brooklyn Football Dodgers.
The contract, signed in the pre­sence
of Branch Rickey, Dodger
president, was a sum described
as "twice what I was getting at
Auburn." Voyles was paid $10,000
a year here.
"Naturally, I am mighty hap­py,"
Voyles said. "I will have a
good set-up and I believe we can
put the Dodgers in the running in
the -A 11-America Professional
Conference."
Voyles explained that he would
serve as vice-president and gen­eral
manager for football in the
Brooklyn basketball-football or­ganization.
He said he would
handle administrative duties un­der
Branch Rickey, in addition to
coaching.
. When questioned about assis­tants,
he said "I hope to sign a
couple of college head football
coaches and take on a man ex­perienced
in the professional lea­gues."
_.
He said the ex-Auburn All-
America, Monk Gafford, is under
contcact with the Brooklyn ele­ven,
as well as Tex Warrington,
another Auburn Ail-American,
Weyman Sellers and Herb St.
John, both of Georgia, an'd John
Wozinak, 1917 All-America, guard
'at Alabama.
"We need a passer more than
anything else," said Voyles. "I'll
have a fine line to work with, hut
there is a lot of building to do
in the b'ackficld."
Voyles spent several aays ea»ly
this week on the Texas ranch of
Branch Rickey with the Dodger
boss talkiag contract terms.
Coach Brown told The Plains^
man that he was "very happy"
over his selection to fill the Au­burn
job. "I was in Auburn more
than two weeks ago for a few
hours with your faculty athletic
committee, so naturally do not
know too much about the school
and the community," he said.
"However, the people I met were
most friendly and I know we are
going to like the :r?t-up. I've al­ways
heard a lot about A^buvti
and what I've heard and seen
makes me all the more pleased
over this connection."
Coach Brown concluded a bril?
liant playing career at Notre
Dame with the 1938 football sea»
son, when he was chosen end on
the All-America learn.
Michigan Native
He, was born and reared in
Benton Harbor, Michigan. In high
school there he played football,
basketball, track and tennis.
Brown' was awarded all-state
honors in football and basketball.
At Notre Dame he starred in
basketball as well as football. Af­ter
leaving the Sputh Bend in­stitution,
he accepted the post at
Brown University as varsity end
coach and freshman basketball
mentor. After two years there
Coach Brown moved on to Har­vard
University to coach the
Crimson ends during 1941 and
1942. While there he was con­sidered
an outstanding member
of Dick Harlow's staff.
With Harvard's decision to
abandon intercollegiate athletics
following the 1942 season, Brown
went to Dartmouth as head coach
succeeding Tuss McLaughry, who
went into the Navy. During his
first year at that school, Brown
turned out a team that lost one
of its games. He remained for two
years at Dartmouth and, when
McLaughry returned, he went
into the Merchant Marine as a
Lt. (jg.) After serving aboard
merchant ships, he was assigned
to the Merchant Marine Academy
as athletic instructor.
Following his discharge, Coach
Brown accepted the head coach­ing
position at Canisius College
in Buffalo, N. Y., and has turned
out top flight teams in his two
seasons there. t • • •
Father of Two
Brown married a high school
sweetheart in Benton Harbor.
The Browns are the parents of a
daughter, Sally-Anne, age 7,
who is in the second grade, arid
a son, J. Bernard, 4.
• In his conversation from Buf­falo
with the' Bulletin, Coach
Brown reminded that he would
be "house hunting next week7
and expressed the hope that "I'll
be -able to find something soon, -
for I want my family with me
as soon as possible."
Mrs. Brown is a graduate of
Michigan University. "Naturally,
during the past football season,
we had some warm discussions
over the question of whether
Notre Dame or Michigan had the
top team in the nation," Coach.
Brown said. "With me, though,
it's still old Notre Dame and .1 .
still have that green pennant on
the wall in the study. You will
remember that we licked Michi.T
gan my senior year, the -last
meeting of the two teams."

DO YOU ORDINARILY TIP HER?
Surely you wouldn't think of treating your wife like a
shoe-shine boy! However, tipping her would show more con­sideration
than allowing her to spend a dreary day doing a
back-breaking job of hand-wishing the family clothes. Let
her enjoy life by bringing the wash to HIGGINS' SELF-SERVICE
AUTOMATIC LAUNDRY and relieve her of this
drudgery.

ATO OFFICER
VISITS LOCAL
CHAPTER
A distinguished visitor at the
ATO chapter house at Auburn
last Thursday was Colonel John
M. MacGregor, Worthy Grafid
Chief, or National President, of
the Alpha Tau Omega farternity.
As worthy Grand Chief of Al­pha
Tau Omega, Colonel Mac­Gregor
directs the activities of
the fraternity's 101 chapters lo­cated,
in leading American col­leges
and universities. One phase
of his chapter visitation at this
time is that of making prepara­tions
for the 39th biennial con­gress
of Alpha Tau Omega which
will be held at Sun Valley, the
famed Idaho resort, in July. This
congress is to be known as the
"First International Congress" in
recognition of the fraternity's
newest chapter which was install­ed
in November at the University
of British Columbia.
A veteran of both World Wars,
MacGregor served as a wireless
operator in the Navy in 1919 and
from 1942 until 1946 he was with
the United States Army. He was
recently awarded the Legion of
Merit for "exceptional leadership,
keen perception in anticipation of
future problems, a* recognized
professional integrity and a ma­ture
sound judgement" as Chief of
the Legal Branch of the Chemical
Warfare Service. During his tour
of army duty he served as a
Chemical Warfare Intelligence
Officer in the Asiatic-Pacific the­ater,
operating in the Phillippines,
Japan, and China.
In addition to his private legal
practice in New York, Colonel
MacGregor has been a member
for nineteen years with the facul­ty
of the New*York University
Law School. He is a member of
the board of directors of the In­ternational
House in New York
where he lived while attending
New York University and Colum­bia
following his graduation from
the University of Oregan. He is
a member of the American and
New York Bar Asociations, of the
St. Andrews Society of New York
and is a past chairman of its
board of governors.
Colonel MacGregor was elected
chairman of the National Inter-fraternity
Conference in 1941 and
served in that capacity until he
was called to military duty. Since
his election to the national presi­dency
of Alpha Tau Omega in
1946 he has visited more than 95
chapters of the fraternity. From
Auburn he left for New Orleans
where he will call of the chapter
at Tulane University.
Accompanying Colonel Mac­Gregor
on his visits is Dr. E.
Venable Bramlett of Oxford,
Miss., who is Chief of Province
X yOf Alpha Tau Omega which
includes chapters at Auburn, Bir­mingham
Southern, University of
Alabama, Tulane, L. S. U., Ole
Miss, and Mississippi State.
Thursday at noon a luncheon
Was given in honor of Colonel
MacGregor and Dr. Bramlett.

HOW ARE THINGS IN MONTEVALLO?
FEATURE EDITOR FINDS SO MUCH
TO FEATURE IN MONTEVALLO TRIP
By Mitch Sharpe
M o n t e v a l l o (Delayed): —
Catching the Nome-Fairbanks
j dog team as it came through
Calera, I slid into this cultural
stain on the otherwise unblemish­ed
clean blue denim work shirt
of Shelby county on one of its
coldest days.
t The first thing to strike me was
the superabundance of plump and
rosy cheeked young children.
There were so many of them that
I could not help thinking of the
thin and undernourished child-i
ren back in Auburn. As I stood
there marveling at "the little ones
(and little two's, too, there were
twins), a friendly old family phy­sician,
on his way to visit a sick
friend, stopped and told me the
whole story.
The genial practitioneer said
that they were chubby and
healthy because they had plenty
of candy to eat. Candy, he said
/ professionally, was g o o d for
growing youngsters. Why with
candy so plentiful and cheap . . .
but I stopped right there. I told
him that I was from a college
town myself and that I knew that
' only banker's kids could afford
candy bars. This statement seem­ed
to puzzle him. He said that he
^was sure that anyone could af­ford
a nickel or a dime for a
candy bar. Ah, thereby hangs the
tale! Candy bars are only a nickel
there (for the five cent ones) and
a dime (for the ten cent ones.)
After pointing out that »ur lo­cal
candy bars were six cents, he
wanted to know why. I told him
that I wasn't quite sure, but that
it was probably export tax levied
by the rank Northern candy
manufacturers.
Points Out Civic Improvements
f However, lest the good doc­tor
get an entirely adverse opin­ion
of Auburn, I told him of the
many improvements which had
been instituted since the college
was flush with a bunch of nou-vean
riche veterans. To protect
these turbulent post war years,
' the police force, has been in­creased
and energized. To cope
with local crime waves a beauti­ful
new cooler with city hall at­tached
has been built out in The
Plainsman's backyard. And to a l -
Tokyo To Hear
Cry of 'War Eagle'
A cry of "War Eagle' will soon
be of co m rri o n occurrence
throughout Japan, if plans of Ma­jor
Otis S. Moreman, Jr., and
Major Ab Chietzberg, former
, Auburnites stationed in Japan, go
through.
They are contacting Auburn
graduates in Japan in an effort to
form a Tokyo Auburn club. The
first meeting of the group was
held on January 9 in Tokyo to
"foster the true Auburn spirit in
the Tokyo - Yokohoma area".
Those attending this initial meet­ing
were Major and Mrs. More-man,
Major and Mrs. Chietzberg,
Colonel and Mrs. Harry Wats,
Colonel and Mrs. Lewis H. Ham,
Lt. Colonel and Mrs. Wilton Kil-gore,
Lt. Colonel Buster Borden,
t- Lt. Colonel C. R. Creel, Jr., and
Major and Mrs. R. R. McDonald.
The next meeting will be held
in early March. The club will
probably apply for membership in
the Alumni Association.
leviate the impending traffic snarl
the latest word in parking meters
has been mentioned as possibly
forth coming.
Women, Women, Women
Of course, the chief by-product
of Montevallo is the Alabama
College. The student body is
composed mostly of gorgeous
curves somewhat abstruse in blue
jdans. From my vantage point,
perched on top of the main gate,
I couldn't see a single homely
female among the collective body.
The senior girls all live in Tut-wiler
Hall, an ornate affair which
looks like a Hollywood set down­stairs
and I know not what up­stairs.
That's where I spent the
waking hours of my sortie to this
bastion of distaff education. As a
matter of fact, I became quite a t ­tached
to the place and now look
on it as a home away from home.
Males around Alabama College
are just about as rare as steak
dinners and just as welcome.
Serious Thought
Seriously, the high point of my
visit came in meeting Dr. John
Tyler Caldwell, Alabama Col­lege's
personable and young hew
president who recently-addressed
the graduating class at Auburn.
Over coffee, with Dr. Caldwell
and his charming young wife, I
had one of the most enjoyable
ad informative evenings. I have
ever spent with an educator . . .
usually I find them to be either
exceedingly ostenatious o» as bor­ing
or both. But in Dr. John Ty­ler
Caldwell, I found-the sort of
modern educator who could ac­complish
some much needed
changes around Auburn. He has
ability and ideals and he has
sincerity.

began racking up successive wins in the conference. With
virtually a freshman team, Doyle has coached the team to five
successive wins, four of which were conference games. Mem­bers

Two Java Drinkers
Report Alumni Fire
By S. Higgins and T. Kingsford
About 12:15 last Saturday night
we were drinking coffee at the"
Dixie Kitchen when we heard a
fire siren. We ran outside just
in time to witness a general eva­cuation
of Alumni Hall. Withjvi-sions
of the Wynecoff catastrophe
in mind,-we immediately rushed
up to the building and inside with
no thought of personal safety.
Just as we got inside the front
door a fire truck raced madly
to the scene and disgorged its
raincoat-clad occupants. Hoses
were connected in record time as
clouds of smoke billowed up from
the basement into the first floor.
Three staunch firemen, led by
their able chief, plunged headlong
into the unknown. Without hesi­tating,
they dragged their hose
down the steps and into the dining
room. Someone had suspected the
blaze might be lurking in the
kitchen, but alas, the kitchen door
was locked and no one had the
key. With great presence of mind,
in spite of t h e confusion, we sug­gested
the door be broken open.
The authorities, after a hurried
conference, decided this was go­ing
too far. There is no telling
what dire consequenses . might
have developed had not some
nameless hero climbed to the
transom and peeked inside. He
assured everyone. that the fire
must be someplace else.
In the meantime, a crowd of
yawning coeds had gathered on
the front walk in various stages
of dishabille. Someone saw Dean
Cater, in pajamas, answering the
telephone call of a worried swain
and reassuring him that his lady
love was in safe hands.
About 12:30 the sleek squad car
of the campus police screeched to
a halt outside and the law took
charge of t he situation with flash­lights
in hand.

Dr. William C. Miller will ad­dress
independent men tonight in
Student Center at 7:15.
Long experienced in public
speaking, stage production, and
speech instruction, Dr. Miller will
give a "smoker style" speech to
entertain.
All non-fraternity men are urg­ed
to be present. The snack bar
will be open, and men are invited
to remain after the meet to play
cards. ,
During a brief business meet­ing,
various commit tess to serve
the independent student body will
be completed from volunteers.

quoted to have seen a pair of lace
knitties on the front stops, where
they had been lost in flight.

Poor Sports
1 It has been brought to our attention
that the conduct of students at some of
the recent basketball games has been
atrocious. Boding and hissing while the
opposing team is making free. shots was
"pointed out as a particular example, of
the poor sportsmanship shown.
..Not only is it a technical foul for an
audience to distract an opposing, team's
member who is shooting a free shot, but
it is rather high-schoolish and unworthy
of college men and women.
. We wonder if our team is treated in such
fashion when they go to other schools.
We Need a Band
Auburn needs a colorful, modern band!
L e t ' s examine the ills t h a t have befallen
•the Auburn band during the past few
seasons, and t r y to figure out a solution.
1. We do not have a full-time band­master.
"Chief" Bidez holds down a job as
-state chemist and cannot devote the time
and energy this new, modern band will re­quire.
No reflection on Mr. Bidez, but half­way
measures have never produced a top-notch
product. ,
"""If Mr. Bidez cannot be persuaded to take
t h e job full-time, we suggest that another
^experienced leader be hired who would
jjtct as bandmaster and do nothing else.
ir. 2. Uniforms are antique. They would be
fine for the Salvation Army, but for a col­lege
band they are strictly from hunger,
j ^ Consider the uniforms other college
bands are wearing. The trend is toward
brilliant, dashing outfits. For instance,
' t h e University of Texas uses cowboy boots
and ten-gallon hats, items that add per­sonality.
Several people have suggested the Au­b
u r n band wear coon-skin caps and stress
^ h e name "Plainsmen" instead of "Tigers."
„ Uniforms with class; uniforms with
originality; t h a t ' s what we need.
3. We need a maneuvering band. There
has been no show; no appeal in the
. ".square" antics of the Auburn ensemble
at half-time. At a recent meeting of the
Birmingham Alumni Association, Frank
' P : Samford, trustee, said, "Nowadays the
-best way for a school to get publicity is by
football. And the half-time show is almost
••as important as the game itself."
To put on a good half-time show the
"band should know how to prance and
, s t r u t and do fancy figures.
• : 4. We need an all-year band. Ours is
now r a r e l y heard from except during foot­ball
season. As soon as the new sports
' a r e n a is opened there will be room to play
at basketball games. Coach Danny Doyle
Oklahoma A&M, and several West Coast
schools of playing band music at basket­ball
games.
All this adds up to one thing. WhiTe
other schools are continually remodeling,
rejuvenating, and generally overhauling
their bands, Auburn's remains static.
This editorial is not intended to cast as­persion
on any person or group. We have
only praise for the fine job "Chief" Bidez
and his bands have^one in the past. But,
and we believe the "Chief" himself, wilj
agree, the time has come for full-time ef­fort,,
colorful costumes, and modern me­thods.

Brotherhood
The term brotherhood has been used of­ten,
but it is very seldom that we under­stand
the meaning of the word. The dic­tionary
defines the term as an association
for any purpose, but it really means a lot
more. Brotherhood or understanding be­tween
human beings is the most impor­tant
factor in world peace. Brotherhood is
preached in our churches,, is advocated in
our democratic way of life, and is practiced
by most people every day.
, Still, when we hear the term "Brother-hood
of Mankind" it is something unreal
and idealistic. Yes, the term does express
idealism, but it certainly can be made real.
As good citizens of the greatest country in
the world, it is our duty to practice, ad­vocate,
and believe in the principles of
brotherhood more today -than ever before.
The Auburn Inter-Faith Council, is
sponsoring the annual Tri-Faith Assembly I
on this campus on February 12 in Lang-don
Hall. Three outstanding speakers will
represent the major faiths; the musical
program will be under the direction of
Prof. Edgar Glyde. This program is pre­sented
in conjunction With National
Brotherhood Week.
Let us al\ turn out and attend this in­teresting
assembly and thereby rededicate
ourselves to the principles which have
been manifested in our Holy Bible and
worthy documents such as our Declara­tion
of Independence. Let us believe more
sincerely in "Brotherhood of Mankind",
so that it may soon become a reality.

There are very few nbn-comformists in the world. In fact,
it. has been said that a non-conformist is-actually a conformist
for the simple reason that he got the idea from someoene else.
From the day we enter the world until the day we die, we are
conforming to standards, codes, laws, and criteria. These
standards are pragmatic, that is, most of them, because they
have shown their value by standing the test of time.
"We are judged by our ability
Student Juries
Auburn's present disciplinary system is
antiquated. The present Disciplinary Com­m
i t t e e is composed of t h r e e faculty mem­bers,
who act as a j u r y in cases involving
students charged with dishonesty, dis­orderly
conduct, and other such offenses.
A grave flaw, which makes the present
system obsolete, has been pointed out by
Ray Fowler, AIO president. It is the fact
that students do not participate on the
committee.
Fowler observes that an all-faculty dis­ciplinary
committee inevitably instills
fear and indignation in students. This, he
says, occurs regardless of the fairness o£
t h e committee. Other recommendations
and observations made by Fowler are:
When the enrollment here was only
2000 students, an all-faculty committee
was effective. Faculty and students knew
each other. A mutual feeling of confidence,
respect, and close association existed.
But expansion and growth have widened
t h e gap between the faculty and student
body.
To best serve both the administration
and student body, this committee should
be composed in such a w a y as to command
student respect, confidence, and coopera­tion.
This can best be done by having stu­dent
members on t h e committee: students
who hold campus respect and are free
from loyalty to any faction or "organiza­tion.
The present system is not democratic.
A j u r y from one faction sits in judgment
of a member of another faction.
This is not conducive to the confidence,
respect, and cooperation needed from the
student body for a prosperous Auburn.
Discipline administered a student by his
own group is effective. Those administer­ing
discipline to members of • t h e i r 'own
group are often more critical than are
others.
A u b u r n students are mature and cap­able
of disciplinary responsibility. Many
of theirT bore responsibility in the service
for judging more serious offenses than
those committed in college.
Utmost discretion, however, must be
used in selecting student committee mem­bers.
Students selected must be known to
be sincere, friendly, and impartial. They
must have a high sense of morality.
Student committee members would be
required to serve with responsibility and
loyalty only for the welfare of Auburn,
Jennings

The preceding sentence is the
yardstick by which psychiatrists
diagnose their patients. If we fail
to adhere to the criminal laws,
we are confined in prison or put
to death; if we are so mentally
unbalanced as to

we are confined
in a psychopa-
»-||thic ward.
In a narrower
sense of the
w o r d "confor­mist,"
there is a
connotation o f
one's holding a
degree of mode­ration.
This is
classically known is t'ne "Golden
Mean." In a broader sense, it
seems to connote a certain ability •
to get along with people. Human
relations is one field which every­one
must cross. Although I have
always doubted the validity of
Dale Carnegie's "How To Win
Friends And Influence People"
because of his apparent insin­cerity
(and so have many others),
I think, nevertheless, that he of­fered
some practical rules along
these lines despite his commer­cial
attitude. He conveniently
lists the following rules in his
book under the title "In A Nut-

For once, I want to write about
something serious. The following
project is one that has a definite
place on any college campus, and
with proper interest and coopera­tion,
from faculty . and students
alike, the organization can be
both useful and" interesting.
The letter printed herein was
brought into the Plainsman of­fice
Saturday and ran like this.
"Dear Editor; -
"A casual question dropped by
a friend the other day brought to
mind a question that keeps- both­ering
me. Why not have a Math
Club on the campus? Surely
among the thousands of students
enrolled in Auburn there are en­ough
who honestly like math to
form a club. I have spoken to
many of .my classmates and ac­quaintances
on the subject and
believe such an organization could
easily be established. The math
department would certainly en­dorse
the idea.
Many benefits could be derived
from such an association. It would
bring together students who have
mutual interest and ambitions. A
series of discussions and addresses
could be sponsored. Speeial cour­ses
could be . more easily dis­cussed
and arranged. The desires
and ideas of the students could
be expresed readily though such
a medium. Activities could be di­rected
into other channels also if
the membership was so inclined.
If enough students show an
"interest in such an organization,
a day could be named for an
organizational meeting. Anyone
interested can contact Grace
Ward at Susan .Smith Cottage, or
myself."

From the. time Pythagoras said
"Everything is number," 'til the
present day, philosophers and
mathematicians alike have been
in heated controversy over what
he meant. Was mathematics dis­covered
or invented? Could a
rabbit really catch the turtle if
the turtle were given a head
start? What is the infinite? Do
you have any ideas on the sub­ject?
If you do, contact one of
the above mentioned persons, and
let's get this thing started. You
don't have to be a brain, or even ,
make A's. A genuine interest in
mathematics is all thaT^s "neces­sary.

Perhaps you have felt that
there is a need at Auburn for
more and stronger traditions. If
you have ever thought about it,
I'm sure you must have reached
the conclusion that Auburn is
weak on tradition. If you have
never thought about it, think it
over. Name several traditions on
the campus. Of course, you will
immediately say War Eagle. May­be
you'll mention the lathe.
Friendliness. After you've put
these down, the listing slows con­siderably.
What else can you say?
Do you think these are all we
need in the way of tradition? I
don't.
These that we have are fine. I
don't mean to try to take any­thing
away from them. I yield to
no one irt my admiration for the
spine tingling War Eagle! The
lathe, although a rather recent
thing, seems to have caught on.
As for friendliness, it is expected.
It is only when it isn't evident
that it is noticed. Still, there
isn't really anything that an Au­burn
graduate can point to and
say "it hasn't changed". You
can't name anything on the cam­pus
that belongs to the past, the
present, and the future the way a
good, first class tradition does.
There is no stronger tie between
the alumni and the undergrad­uates
than a tangible tradition.
In the January issue of Campus
Parade, one of the finest colle­giate
monthly magazines I have
seen, there are listed several tra­ditions
of some of the colleges
around the country. The most in­teresting
of these is one at Ohio
State'University. To quote the
Parade, "One of Ohio State
University's most delightful
traditions is that of planting
a Buckeye tree (horse chesnut)
on the campus of each university
with which they play football.
Ohio State, consequently has trees
scattered widely over the central
and eastern part of the United
States. On their own campus at
Columbus, a plot of ground has
been set aside for the Buckeye
Ail-American grove. For each
player on the Ohio State foot­ball
team who has been chosen
as an Ail-American football play­er,
a new Buckeye tree is planted
in the grove. Each, tree' carries a
bronze table bearing the name of
the player and the year the selec­tion
was made." There are many
other schools where traditions are
strengthened by each graduating
class. It may be nothing more
than planting some ivy; but then,
ivy grows fast and before very
many years the school is thought
of in terms of "the ivy-covered
wall". Something like this, some­thing
that everyone can contri­bute
to, something that will mean
Auburn, is badly needed here.

About two weeks ago a gentle­man
made a speech to a certain
group of people on this campus.
The identity of that person and the
particular group he addressed
means little to me, but his sub­ject
is one that should be of
deep concern to everyone on this
campus.
The crux of his speech was that
every student who is now enroll­ed
in an institu­tion
of higher
learning in this
state has a hand
in the future
of Alabama. He
stated that too
many c o l l e ge
g r a d uates in
[Alabama seek
their fortune in
Ithe North, East
or West. He said
that the South
will never be able to raise its
standards as long as this condition
prevails.
I agree with him, and after a
little thought on the matter, I
find my train of thought running
in circles, not unlike a dog chasing
his tail.
How does industry in the South
expect to keep college gra­duates
in this section of the coun­try
when other sections of the
country offer such greater oppor­tunities?
f
After mulling over that ques­tion
a bit, I began to wonder,
how can the South offer its high­er
educated citizens better wages
until enough of them stay here
to raise the standards?
There is only one answer to
the whole question. There must
be enough of you willing to make
the sacrifice. Although I am a
Yankee, I have been in the South
long enough to know that pride
is a big factor with Southerners.
That pride is inherent, and it
seems to me it is a bit pseudo
with those who travel to other
sections of the country to make
their fortune. It rests with each
and every one of you to take
personal responsibility to do a
little to help raise the standards
of the South by staying here.
* * *
I think File 13 exemplifies ex­actly
what I'm harping on. It is
very funny to read, but if every­one
who really has the South at
heart would think it over and
give it deep consideration, they
would agree with me when I
say that the situation is nothing
less than deplorable.

With the influx of big and me­dium-
sized name bands on the
campus, it seems that Auburn is
coming into her own as a center
of jive culture. And here's a little
story about a big-name^ band
which came to Auburn . . . but
not to play. It was told by a friend
of mine whom, for the sake of
anonymity, I shall call Joe.
On Tuesday night of last week
Joe went into a
j l o c a l restauraunt
§ffor supper. He
|ordered ham and
sggs.
While he was
Waiting a group
jbi people enter-fjjfed.
By their ap-b
e a r a n c e he
sould see they
weren't students,
for the men's
pants were pres­sed
and the girls weren't chew­ing
gum. But Joe did not con­sider
this unusual, and he continu­ed
to amuse himself by reading
song titles on the juke box such
as "Slap Her Down Agin' Paw",
"I'm My Own Grandpaw," and
other little gems of modern mu­sic.
The strangers seated themselves
and spoke to the waiters. They
must have used the password, for
all at once the place burst into
activity. Cooks in the back threw.
steaks frantically into skillets.
Waiters double-timed back and
forth to booths bringing ice wat­er
and silverware. Joe says they
even wiped the lipstick stains
off the chinaware and brought a
few pieces of butter out of the
safe where it had been locked.
Someone stepped on the kitchen
cat, who screamed in protest at
such an unaccustomed stir of
energy.
Then, while Joe watched all
this in wonderment, a girl ran
breathlessly into the room. She
stopped beside his table and ask­ed,
"Is that he?"—pointing to­ward
one of the strangers.
"He?" asked Joe. "Who's 'he'?"
The girl looked at Joe as if in
pity. "Why didn't you know?" she
exclaimed. "That's Gene Krupa
and his Orchestra!"
And so it was Gene Krupa and
his Orchestra, though where they
had come from or where they

In the year's gone by when Au­burn
was recognized by the
Southeastern Conference and oth­er
conferences as one of the lead­ers
in all athletics, It brings to
mind that the appearance and
support of the Auburn band was
an important moral factor and en­couragement
for our athletic
teams. It added color to all the
games. %
It has not. been the custom in
recent years to haVe the band and
cheerleaders present at basket­ball
games. However, since we
are about to dedicate a n ew sports
arena, it appears that it would
be an appropriate time and a fine
gesture in fostering a better Au­burn
spirit and to support a well
coached, fighting basketball team
by having the Auburn band with
cheerleaders appear at all local
basketball games*.. Further, in re­cognition
of the fine start Coach
Danny Doyle and his' baskete'ers
have made, it is suggested that
the band with cheerleaders and
plenty of supporters appear in
the new Sports Arena and this
toe known as "Danny Doyle
Night."' . . t

Dear Editor:
During the monsoon season here
at Auburn, our Student Activity
Building is nearly isolated. If you
have ever tried to get there, stag
or drag, in such weathef, you are
well-acquainted with this fact.
If you walk, you are in danger
of drowning or slipping and
breaking your neck. If you can
get a cab to t h e dance, you can't
get close to the door. If you. come
in a car, you must park at a
considerable distance from the
building and take the risk of be­ing
so badly hemmed in that you
will lose all of your temper and
most of your time trying t o get
out. If you happen to have a
"heavy date", you (being a
Southern gentleman!) are forced
to play Sir Walter Raleigh, or to
carry her over the puddles.
Now that the new Sports Arena
has been built, the need for suf­ficient
parking space is even
greater. WouM it be expecting
too much to hope for a parking
lot, and for an open driveway to
lation to the interests of the stu­dents
and townspeople, he fired
a shot in the" dark and left his
remark sounding petty and con­tentious.
He made an issue and
then avoided it. I don't expect
The Plainsman to go to press each
week free from slips, but I hope
that you will not- allow half­hearted,
unsupported grumbling
to detract from the dignity of a
student paper which has received
so much acclaim. With no hard
feeling, I say that if you, I, or
any other student have some­thing
, t o , print; let us put jt out
straight from • the shoulder with
a constructive' motive behind it.

Nothing Sf importance has been
planned for the program at the
Wesley Foundation this Sunday.
According to word released today
there will be nothing going on ex­cept
a Fellowship Supper some-tiitte
around 6 p.m. and then after
that nothing has been planned
except a fine program which will
be held at 7:15 p.m. provided that
enough people just happen to
have dropped in beforehand. Af­ter,
that a recreation period will
probably be held but there is
some doubt to this since there
is nothing important enough be­forehand
to warrant anyone be­ing
there. If you ,do happen to
be wandering around that direc­tion
you might drop in but don't
expect anything outstanding to
be presented. "Sides"—you might
be surprised.

New York Times Book Review Points
Out Leftist Views of Robert St. John
By Tom Sellers
C. L. Sulzberger, in a review of
Robert St. John's latest work,
"The Silent People Speak," (New
York Times Book review sec­tion,
Jan. 18), says, "St. John
finely depicts the sufferings and
aspirations of a great many of
Yugoslavia's magnificant peeople.
He gives a sympathetic and sin­cere
picture of what this terrible
war meant to the inhabitants of
a vigorous peasant country and
how they are trying to emerge
from still another of their in­credible
i series of disasters."
St. John's new t>ook should
hold considerable interest for
those who heard him lecture last
quarter at Langdon Hall. Speak­ing
on the subject "Is There An
Iron Curtain?", he threw a con­troversial
aspect on the subject of
communism in Yugoslavia.
Sulzberger delves into St:
John's political philosophy by
saying, "Louis Adamic, Ilya Eh-renburg,
and now Robert St. John
admire it (Yugoslavia) from the
left," and, "it is evident . . . that
St. John would now seem to be
a subconscious follower of the
'party line.'"
Later, the article says, "St.
John worked hard and this is,
for the most part, an interesting
and efficient propaganda job. It
is indeed a fascinating book, but
one cannot forget its slant. It
sounds like an Ehrenburg guide
to the United States—in reverse.
St. John points out what is quite
true and merits full emphasis:
that the Tito regime has united
the country, eliminated corrup­tion
and intelligently set about
planning reconstruction. But the
cost whereby this is being done,
for example, isn't even hinted
at."
Sulzberger then points out the
difference in attitudes of differ­ent
sections of Yugoslavia, saying
that "Serbia, Slovenia and Croa­tia
are largely anti-regime, while
Bosnia, Macedonia and Monte­negro
are largely for it. But the
first three states have a vastly
^
Final Rites Held
For John Bowling,
Senior Vef Student
By Lawrence D. Meyer
Final rites were conducted re­cently
at the Baptist Church in
Abanda for John Tom Bowling,
senior veterinary student at Au­burn.
John Tom was born March 29,
1925 on a small farm just out­side
Abanda. He died at the age
of 22 on Jan. 18 at station hospi­tal,
Fort Benning, Ga. from pul­monary
thrombosis.
While treating cases at the Au­burn
veterinary clinic, John Tom
was exposed to rabies, which ne­cessitated
his taking the Pasteur
treatment. He reacted hyper-sensitively
to the gabies vaccine.
On Dec. 12 he was taken ill and
was hospitalized at the college in-
'firmary for three days. Realizing
his grave situation, the doctors
transferred him to the station
hospital at Fort Benning. By tins
time an almost complete paraly­sis
had set in. Within two or
three days the paralysis had
spread to include the diaphragm
and chest muscles. He was placed
immediately in an iron lung,
where he remained throughout
the night and the following day.
Until the time of his decease, he
spent much time in an oxygen
tent. The long period of paralysis
brought on the .-development of
pulmonary thrombosis.
John's death was a great loss
to the Veterinary School. His
place in the hearts of all was de­monstrated
by the large turn-out
of students, faculty, and friends
who attended the funeral.
Surviving him are his mother
and father, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Bowling; two sisters, Rudine and
Frances; and two brothers, Ed­ward
and Wendall.
John Tom entered Auburn in
September 1942. He was inducted
into the armed services in June
1945. Upon his discharge in No­vember,
he returned to Auburn to
continue his studies. He was ac­tive
in student activities, being
a member of Alpha Psi fraternity
and serving on various commit­tees
of' the Junior American Vet­erinary
Medical Association. As
an employee of the Regional Re­search
laboratory of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, he perform­ed
his work in a thorough and di­ligent
manner. His grades were
always well above average.
Acting as pallbearers were six
senior fraternity brothers: Loyce
Turner, John Wolfe, Ray Dunlap,
George Killan, Watson Mathews,
and Bill Collins. Honorary pall­bearers
consisted of the faculty
and student body of the Veteri-
.,«.».,, i/„u -,rl
larger population than the last
three." Commenting, he adds,
"One must therefore take into
account the fact that St. John de­votes
almost as much space in
this volume to his impressions of
^fascinating -Bosnia as to Serbia,
Croatia, Slovenia together."
Having done considerable tra­veling
in Yugoslavia, Sulzberger
talked to people in various sec­tions
of that country himself.
Perverted Accounts
St. John's attitude toward the
Chetniks is attacked - by Sulaber-ger
when he says, "I cannot re--
frain from complaining of St.
John's references to the Chet­niks—
especially .in view of the
fact that not only he, but even
the Russians, thought they were
pretty heroic in 1341."
Again referring to 3t. John's
leftist pendencies, the article
states, "His hearsay accounts of
war-time history in Yugoslavia
are frequently somewhat perver­ted
in accordance with what one
may call the party line. St. John
saw a lot of schools and talked
with many pupils? but he appar­ently
didn't bother to examine the
school books to see what young­sters
were being taught—includ­ing
militarism."
Sulberger sunis, up the book
by saying, "There are other in­accuracies
in this book, but the
greatest distortion is moral. St.
John's account of Yugosalvia to
my mind is just as phony in its
bias as that of a truly Fascist
observer; truth can be warped
from the left as well as from the
right. Despite this, 'The Silent
People Speak' is of immense in­terest,
not only to me as a friend
and admirer of Yugoslavia and its
people regardless of political re­gimes
but, I think, to anyone."
"The Silent People Speak," by
Rqbert St. John (397 pp.) is
published by Doubleday and Co.,
New York, price $4.00.
Watson Is New
Prexy For AVA
At the last meeting of the Au­burn
Veteran Association, offi­cers
for the new year were elec­ted.
They are Jim Watson, presi­dent;
Charlie Brooks, Vice-presi­dent;
Gene Driver, secretary;
Harry Kinney, treasurer; and Jim
Brown, representative to the
cabinet. \
Watson, the new prexy, makes
the following statement:
"First of all, we plan to promote
interest in the AVA by having a
series of interesting programs
that will not only entertain the
veteran student, but will also
benefit him. Also, a committee
has been appointed and is already
working out the-details for a wi­der
coverage of veteran com­plaints
in regards to getting loans,
reinstating life insurance policies,
and procuring medical benefits."
Continuing, Watson said": "IJ
think that veterans are slowly
forgeting that they are veterans.
In my opinion that is good. The
sooner we can fbrget about the
war and all that went with it, the
sooner we can adapt ourselves to
studying and working to improve
and continue the ideals which we
believe in. However, as long as
we veterans are being cared for
by our government, the Veteran's
Association will continue to look
out for those who have trouble in
getting what is rightfully theirs,
and Will continue its present cam­paign
to publicize new programs
and laws that affect veterans.'^

Tigers Add Three Wins to Cage String; Face Tech Here Friday
By Jack Simms
It Is Definitely Back
That great AUBURN SPIRIT has returned! The support
, being given Coach Doyle's basketball team is the best thing
1 we've seen on this campus in years. The majority of the
crowds have been turned -away from the games ~ in Alumni
Gym because college authorities doubt that the old relic
would stand up under the strain of a capacity crowd. Those
of us who have been lucky enough to see th>e games have
been hollering our heads off for the Tigers.
_ * • * *
Think This Over, Fans. .
Sometimes the students have let their enthusiasm get
out of hand. Such was the case at the Mississippi State game*.
Someone thought throwing pennies at the officials would be
fun. . .not only does it show poor sportsmanship, but a play­er
could receive serious inury if he should slip on one of
these coins.
f We like to win! This is only natural. The officials don't
always see things as we do, but "booing" their decisioiis
won't make them change their minds. . .it only provokes
them more.
To date, the students have tried to make opposing play­ers
miss free throws by yelling just as the player starts his
shot. Doing this is about the poorest showing of sportsman­ship
possible. . .It gives Auburn a bad name and it's unfair
to all concerned. The player who is taking the shot didn't
ask for it, the referee gave it to him. When you'go to the
games from now on, keep quiet while players are shooting
free throws. . .let the wise guy make an ass out of himself,
but you give the players a chance. . .Huh, how about it?
> * * .*
A Job Well Done
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Draughoii. Although
f I disagree with most of the policies of the college, 1 think
that our acting-president has handled the recent "coaching
shake-up" in the best possible manner. All of the action that
has come from his office has been well prepared and wdrked
out in detail before beirig released, t h e students and alumni
seem pleased about 'the way 'the f^\e matter has been
handled.
A Popular Move
The assignment of Coach Hutsell to the athletic director­ship
was as smart a move as Auburn has ever made. For the
first time in the history Of the school, the coach hasr£t had to
also cope with the athletic director's duties. Coach Htitsell
is probably the best liked man in our athletic set-up. He will
have a great influence over our fast-talking and slow-acting
alumni groups.
* * *
No Smoking, Please . . .
Coach Danny Doyle has expressed hope that the crowd
Will refrain from smoking in the new Sports Arena during
ball games. He stated that not only is. it a fire hazard, but it
also hurts the players. Danny also expressed his dislike for
the conduct of the students at past ball games . . . This is
just another plea for us students to behave ourselves, if you
see someone light up a cigarette during Friday night's game,
ask him to put it out . . . he'll do it without taking offense.
Also, remember the "booing" . . . . don't-do it!!
Gaffife To Mark Opening
Of New Sports Arena

squad added three more vic­tories

burn Monday. For the first week,
he explained, they would be
pleased to become acquainted
with football squad members
and the set-up here.
"We will be pushed at first
with spring practice being tenta­tively
set to start Monday, Feb.
2," he continued, "but as early
as possible I want to meet all
the Auburn people I can."
Newspaper clippings tout Brown
as one of the coming football
coaches of the big-time. Such
coaches as Elmer Layden, Lynn
Waldorf, Dick Harlow and others
describe him as a leader and
strategist of no little ability.
Excerpts from the clippings
run as follows:
"Seldom has a coach earned so
much credit for winning an ob­jective
battle as Brown . . . He
had been -on the spot when the
season started, but today be is
the toast of the exurberant Grif­fin
alumni. Brown's strategy was
superb . . . He gambled well and
at long odds . . . By his brilliant
handling of his well-manned
squad, he had a fresh, inspired
and hard-hitting eleven on the
field at all times."
"From a technical standpoint,
Earl really came into his own
this season as a brilliant, football
strategist. He came here touted
as a defensive genius, following
his apprenticeship under the re­nowned
Dick Harlow of Har­vard.
This year he built himself
a gaudy offensive reputation,
with a club that is thoroughly
precisioned." '
"Earl has come a long way
since he closed his Irish football
career against Southern Cali­fornia
in 1938," wrote Jim Kearns
of The Chicago Sun. "He's come
so far, in fact, that his Dart­mouth
team last fall didn't use
a single play he had learned as
a varsity end under Elfher Lay­den.
'It isn't ths*t I didn't believe
in that style,' Brownie explained
the other day. 'It's just that for
four years I had worked with
other stuff, under McLaughry
and Harlow. So I used a blend of
their styles, with other varia­tions
that I thought would work."
Sigma Chi Derby
To Be Held
Next Month
The Sigma Chi Derby, will be
presented on the Auburn campus
for the first time, announces
Ted Kingsford, publicity chair­man
for the local chapter. The
date has been set for February
21 at the Quadrangle.
The events will include a pie-eating
contest, egg-in'-spoon race,
tow-sack race, coke-and-cracker
race, chariot race, and a special
surprise event. Contestants from
each sorority will vie for honors
in these events.
A five minute skit will be
presented by each sorority as a
special feature.
Climax of the day will be the
naming and crowning of tne Sig­ma
Chi Sweetheart for 1948. Each
sorority and each dormitory will
put up one candidate each, and
Auburn and Alumni Halls will
nominate two candidates each.
Before the derby Sigma Chi will
choose five of this group, and
these five will appear on stage
at the derby. The members will
elect one Of these five to be
crowned Sweetheart.

COMMITTEE PLANS
RADIO BROADCASTS
ATOMIC EDUCATION
The Atomic Education Com­mittee
of the Auburn Atomic
Education Group met Thursday
and outlined plans for this quar­ter's
programs. The atomic group
is planning, besides its regular
program, to produce numerous
radio broadcasts over local, sta­tions.
At its meeting the committee
decided to extend an invitation to
every professional and social or­ganization
on the campus to send
a ' representative to meetings of
the atomic group. Representatives
chosen by college organizations
should possess some knowledge
of nuclear physics, although this
is not necessary.
Meetings of the group are open
to all—students as well as towns­people—
and it is especially urged
that townspeople attend. Perma­nent
officers of the AAEG are
yet to be elected. A date for elec­tions
has not been decided.
Ernest Baker, acting chairman,
says, "The programs this quarter
will emphasize the peacetime use
of atomic energy rather than the
use of it in warfare."
