Universal Testing
I Machine Given
To CE Department
Birmingham Company
Presents $14,000 Unit
To Engineering School
A "universal testing machine,
valued at $14,000 and used for
compression, tension and flexure
.. tests on construction materials, has
* been presented to the civil engi­neering
department by the Lone
Star Cement Corporation, Birm­ingham.
Prof. T. M. Lowe, head of the
civil engineering department, said
that arrangements for the gift
were made by Ralph R. Riley, of
the firm's'Birmingham office, and
J. L. Land, chief of the Bureau of
Materials and Tests, State High­way
Department, Montgomery.
"Auburn has been in search of
'such a machine for nearly 10
years," Prof. Lowe said, adding
.that it will be a great contribution
to the efficiency of the depart­ment.
A. S. Chase, associate professor
of civil engineering in charge of
the testing laboratory, pointed out
that the department has long "been
at a disadvantage in not having a
universal testing machine. He said
a machine of this type is standard
equipment for civil engineering
departments and that it will be
used in courses in highways, con­crete,
steel and timber construc­tion
to break test cylinders of
concrete, beams of concrete and
specimens of reinforcing and
structural steel. In soil mechanics,
the machine will be used for the
California Bearing Test, which
has been adopted as a standard
bearing test.
While the machine arrived here
last week, it will be several days
before i t is. assembled and ready
for operation. Installation is being
made in the highway materials
testing laboratory.

O'Connor Asks -
For Aid During
'50 Polio Drive
An alarming number of people
in age groups including universi­ty
students were victims of 1949's
epidemics of poliomyelitis, Basil
O'Connor, president "of the Na­tional
Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, declared in issuing a
call for March of Dimes campaign-participation
by colleges and
university student bodies. The
drive began Monday and will end
January 31.
A March of Dimes drive will
not be held among the Auburn
student body, but Auburn stu­dents
are strongly urged to con­tribute
to the l o c a l March of
Dimes drive conducted in the city
of Auburn by John Ball.
The last year, O'Connor said,
has, seen the largest number of
polio cases in any one year in any
country in the history of the
world—more than 42,000 cases.
Of these 42,000 it is estimated
that more than 10,000 were over
15 years of age with the greatest
number proportionally between
the ages of 15 and 24.
The economic impact of this
record number of polios- has been
a serious dFain on funds of the
National Foundation. Some $31,-
000,000 was needed for patient
care alone during the epidemic
year, O'Connor declared, and
c a r e for-1949 patients through
1950 may cost National Founda­tion
chapters in excess of $20,-
000,000 — without inclusion of
care costs for a. single new case
in 1950.
A realistically successful 1950
March of Dimes campaign is nec­essary,
the National Foundation
president said, to meet these de­mands
as well as other obliga­tions
of the organizations. O'Con­nor
pointed out that these obli­gations
are of peculiar import­ance
to institutions of higher
learning, their student bodies and
faculties.
Through the education pro­gram
of the National Foundation,
O'Connor said, more than t wo
thousand persons have received
training in professional fields re­lated
to polio.
e r o u s convocations, seminars,
worship services, a n d informal
meetings which will be held on
the campus.
The program this year is under
the sponsorship of the University
Christian Missions, the Auburn
Student Council on Religious
Activity, and the A.P.I. Faculty
Committee on Religious Life.
Charles Edwards is chairman of
t h e Executive Committee in
charge of the Religious Emphasis
Week Program. Hugh Gaston is
chairman of the student commit­tee.
Edwards Urges Participation
"Never in the history of t h e
school have students had an op­portunity
to participate in so full
and rich a program as during the
coming week," Edwards pointed
out. "Through the cooperation of
the University Christian Mission
and the Catholic and Jewish
churches 10 outstanding speakers
are being' brought here to talk
about religion and religious prob­lems
of students," Edwards said.
The chairman asked "every
student to participate as widely
as possible in the program of con­vocations,
seminars, worship ser­vices,
and other discussion" to be
held here this week. "It is hoped
that many will be aided.in find­ing
an adequate faith to live by
and in acquiring an intellectual'
foundation for that faith," Ed­wards
added.
The program will open Sunday
'with ithe speakers appearing at
the local churches. They will take
part in the various worship ser­vices
held/at the churches Sun­day.
• j
On Monday the extensive pro­gram
of convocations, seminars,
worship services, and personal
conferences will begin. The pro­gram
will end on Thursday night
•with a dedication service at the
Baptist church. Other detailed
information on the program can
be found elsewhere on this page.
The Hospitality Committee has
provided hosts and hostesses for
each guest speaker. The members
of t h i s committee will be re­sponsible
for assisting the visit­ing
dignitaries.
Langdon Hall Undergoes 'Face-Lifting';
New Interior Equipment To Be Added
By Jimmy Everett •
• /' *
The termites will enjoy the concerts in Langdon Hall no
more, as a horde of B and G carpenters invade'd the historic
old s t r u c t u r e last week for a j o b of renovation on t h e interior
of the 67 year old landmark. . , >
When the carpenters leave the
building it will be equipped with
modern auditorium seats, a new
asphalt tile floor, acoustical tile
on the ceiling to improve sound
effects, and a ventilating system.
In addition, the plans call for re-decoration
of the entire interior
of the building complete with
new stage curtains and drapes for
the windows. '
However, t h e portrait-lined
walls will feel perfectly nat­ural
amid the clatter of hammers
and saws, having received many
previous "face liftings" through­out
the years.. The history of the
picturesque -structure is a color­ful
one that coincides with the
growth of' this school from a
small Methodist institution to its
present d«y status.
During the period of .recon­struction
after the Civil War, me
Agricultural and Mechanical Col­lege
of Alabama rapidly outgrew
the "Main Building"—Samford
Hall—and the state legislature ap-of
Langdon Hall on the campus
at Auburn.
Held Engineering Dept.
An old frame structure located
across Magnolia Street from the
Methodist Church Of Auburn was
torn. down and reassembled by
the plans of W. • D. Wood, an
alumnus of the class of '81.
The new frame auditorium was
suddenly pushed into the No. 1
spot on the campus when the
"Main Building" burned in 1887,
and classes were conducted temp­orarily
in Langdon.
When Samford Hall was rebuilt
in the architectural style of the
time, Italian Renaissance, Lang­don
Hall received it's first rejuvi-hation
shortly after, receiving a
9 inch brick veneer exterior and
a Greek-style portico. At this
time the upper floor of Langdon
was used as an auditorium and
the groud floor held the engineer­ing
departments which - w e r e
among the first in the south.
As Auburn's engineering de­partment
grew too large for
Langdon Hall's ground f l o or
quarters, they moved into new
buildings on the campus. In 1921
propriated funds for the erection , Auburn's first electric dynamo
and light plant were moved from
the ground floor of Langdon and.
the home economics department

Class-Sponsored Book Exchange?
The long over-due establishment of a
used book exchange on the Auburn cam­pus
is .gaining momentum daily. Not only
are students giving vocal'approval to the
idea of an exchange, but several campus
groups have openly expressed an interest
in t h e setting-up of such an exchange.
At a meeting of t h e J u n i o r Class Coun­c
i l last week, a t h r e e - m a n committee was
set up to investigate the possibilites of
s t a r t i n g an exchange as a class project.
Class President Joe Pilcher i n s t r u c t e d the
committee to take action as soon as pos­sible
and make a r e p o r t w i t h i n four weeks.
If the group, can give a definite proposal,
t h e r e is a strong possibility t h a t a book ex­change
will be functioning on the campus
before the end of the q u a r t e r . Besides the
J u n i o r Class action it is rumored t h a t sev­eral
honor -societies, campus groups, and
t h e Student Executive Cabinet are inter­ested
in the plan. ' _ ' »
The most popular plan t h a t we have
h e a r d is the idea of setting up the store
as strictly an "exchange" for the used
books. Students would merely leave their
books at t h e exchange w i t h the prices de­sired
in them. T h e exchange would sell t he
books at this, price, and when t h e students
came by to pick u p t h e i r money, t h e store
would extract a small percentage of the
sale for the handling of the book. I n this
, w a y students could buy and sell books at
reasonable prices. The money-mad middle­men
would be eliminated.
/ , •
There a r e several other proposed plans
being discussed and each deserves proper
a t t e n t i o n by the student body and admin­istration.
The Plainsman sincerely hopes
t h a t some definite action will b e t a k e n on
t h i s vital matter before the end of the
q u a r t e r . The college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n should
give their full endorsement of any plan
which will prevent the students from be­i
n g robbed by A u b u r n ' s used-book racket­eers.
F u r t h e r detay in this vital matter
would be unpardonable!
Policy-Forming Political Meeting
One of the most important dates in
Alabama's political history will be Satur­day,
J a n . 21. On this date in" M o n t g o m e r y
t h e State Democratic Executive Qfsnmit-t
e e will hold its r e g u l a r meeting to set the
dates of the 1950 party primaries and
qualifications for candidates. It is expect­ed
that immediately thereafter the larg­est
number of candidates in t h e s t a t e ' s his­t
o r y will seek qualifications for the many
s t a t e offices which will be contested this
spring. /" .* '
This meeting is not important, how­ever,
because of the candidates who will
seek to qualify for state offices. Instead i t'
will probably bring to t h e front the long-boiling
fight within the committee on^Ala-bama's
position in t h e National Democratic
P a r t y . The- fight between the Dixiecrats
and anti-Dixiecrats is expected to break
into the open at this meeting. This fgud
betwe'en the two e x t r e m e political theories
in state politics has been brewing for al­most
two years and the committee meet­ing
is expected to bring a definite show
down on certain issues in regard to the
1950 primaries.
Chairman Gessner McCorvey, who is
also the leading spokesman of the Dixie-crat
element within the party, has said
t h a t "We should . . . refuse to accept as
candidates in our Alabama democratic pri­maries
any candidate who openly or pub­licly
opposed the election of any of the
nominees of our Alabama Democratic pri­maries."
In this statement Chairman Mc­Corvey
asked t h a t anyone who openly op­posed
the" Alabama electors, which were
pledged to the States' Right nominees in
1948, be b a r r e d from the primaries.
The tossing of this red-h5t potato into*
Alabama's simmering 1950 political pot
means the meeting Saturday will be even
more eventful. Any action taken by the
committee must be judged by the people
in t h e election in t h e spring. If t h e group
decides to bar certain men from the De­mocratic
primaries, the issue will be put
squarely before the people. This will be a
meeting where the cpmmitteemn must
t a k e a stand. They must make this position
known so t h a t voters will know how they
s t a n d when tney seek re-election to the
committee this spring. This possible b i t t er
fight within the Democratic Committee
gives further warning of a hot political
campaign this spring. Instead of definite
agreement upon state p a r t y policies, this
meeting m a y leave t h e issues for t h e voters
to decide. ' % ' ,-•
Regardless of the outcome of t h e meet­ing,
it is expected to have far' reaching
effects over the state. One possible result
of the meeting might be the formation of
a two-party in the state. To our way of
t h i n k i n g this could be the most valuable
result of t h e meeting. We desperately need
a strong two-party s y s t em in t h e state. The
quicker the people of t h e s t a t e break away
from the old theory—"My grandpappy was
a Democrat, my pappy was a Democrat, so
I 'm a Democrat"—a solution to the con­flicting
issues can be found.
Class Organization Now A Reality
Early last quarter, members of the Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet and other students
s t a r t e d a campaign to bring back to t he
P l a i n s the splendid system of class organ-'
ization that existed here before the war.
I n the immediate-post-war period, class
organization suffered because the student
body was older and interested in getting
an education as quickly as possible. But
t h i s year, with most of the freshmen com­ing
directly from high school, it was felt
t h a t the class system could be revived.
Class officers went to work, to develop
a program. Policy was outlined; meetings
were held; projects were .adopted. Slowly,
t h e organizations began to take shape, and
by the end of the q u a r t e r , it was possible
to hold the successful "Beat Bama" Carni­val.
/
Today class organization at A u b u r n is a
r e a l i t y .
The seniors had the hardest task of all
because they had been apathetic longer
t h a n the rest of us, b u t they are planning
a barbecue in the spring before gradua­tion,
i
The j u n i o r class is sponsoring a v a r i e ty
and talent show next month. Proceeds
from this production will be used for the
class project. In addition, a junior class
council was recently organized to promote
smooth functioning of class efforts.
/
The sophomore and freshman classes
are planning dances in the near future.
These events will enable the class mem­bers
to become better acquainted and at
the same time help to develop class spirit.
The progress that has been made so far
is only a preview of the benefits that we
can expect from class Organization in the
future if we continue our efforts along
these lines.

"There goes Jones, losing his tempef again!"
Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
The term "pblitical football" has been a favorite of editorial
writers for years—so many, in fact, tha't it has become hack­neyed.
Now, however, the term may be well-applied, with a
new meaning.
For what but politics prevented the expulsion of the seven
"naughty" schools who ignored*
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association's sanity code? Mem-
•:v5?S33S3S5flRSSS<
bers of three big Southern con­ferences
teamed up with Virgin­ia,
Maryland, V.M.I., V.P.I, and
The Citadel, and Catholic schools •
took the side of Villanova and
Boston College to prevent the
two-thirds vote necessary for ex­pulsion.
A major victory was won by
the a c c u s ed
• "i;_ schools at the
j . outset of the
d i s c u s s i o n ,
when a motion
to vote on the
seven as a block
carried. T h is
gave the code-violators
the
combined vote
of the Rebels
and the Catho-<
lies, permitting
them to remain in the association.
Now don't get me wrong—I'm
all for the sinful seven. Ifm mere­ly
saying that partisan' interests
were responsible for the failure
of the aetion—a sad state -of af­fairs
for the number one colle.-*
giate sport to find itself in.
That the sanity coda section on
compensation for athletes can
only breed hypocrisy or outright
law-breaking should now be ob­vious.
.
V A committee from NCAA has
been appointed, to investigate
athletic practices of all member
j schools and to make a report at
next year's meeting, j t is 'hoped
that the association will, on the
basis of*this report, alter the code
and adopt a more lenient-policy.
McTeer
We wonder, though, if some of
the "pure" schools who proudly
"and loudly proclaim their strict
obedience to the code might be
embarrassed by the proposed in-vestigataion.
Over whose eyes do
they think they're pulling wool,
anyway?
Maybe association members
will now realize the impossibility
of enforcing rules which conflict
with long-standing practices and
will let these practices be a par­t
i a l basis for code revision.

NOTE OF COMMON INTER­EST—
Among colleges and uni­versities
which have recently es­tablished
student-operated book
exchanges or whose student pub­lications
are plugging for 'them
are L.S.U., Duke, and" Dartmouth.
Apparently, Auburn book sel­lers
are not individualistic, but
are followers--of a national trend
to profit from the helplessness of
college students.
*.; ,* * *
If this column followed the
high school practice of awarding
journalistic onions and orchids to
deserving persons, an entire onion
patch would be presented to one
member of the School of Veter­inary
Medicine for a recent short­sighted
action/
This professor chanced upon
three of his students who were
matching for cokes, and immed­iately
informed' them that they
would be dropped from his class.
He even went so far as to turn
in drop slips to the dean's office
before realizing how foolish his
action- had been. The students
were later reinstated.
Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
In trying to gather material for
a treatise on the proposed stu­dent
evaluation of professors sys­tem,
I ran upon a few gems of
wit and sagacity which are worth
passing on. I got involved in a
discussion of various types of
professors and heard many anec­dotes
concerning this t y p e jot
homo sapiens which constitutes
the m o s t profoundly profaned
profession known to the average
college student. It isn't that they
are such a bad lot, it's just that a
student can always find a prof
to cuss when" he needs self ex- •
pression. Anyway, here goes
with a few/ of 'em.
The first chap I talked to- had
a story to tell about his father„a
h i g h school
m a t h teacher.
Seems that the
students , a l l
called'this 'man
"Sankay" Not
knowing whe­ther'
t h e nick­name
iwas an
i n s u l t or a
word of endear­ment,
the math
mogul consult­ed
his son. All
the boy could think of was that
Sanka is not supposed to keep
one awake so he told his dad to
go look at a can of the beverage
product and try to get a better
and more complimentary explan­ation.
That investigation was the
straw t h a t snapped the hump-
Greenhill
1 backed animal's back because
the answer was right there in big
letters, "Sanka, fifty-nine per
cent of the bean removed." The
teller of that one swears it's true
but I wouldn't be surprised if
Joe Miller sued him for plagiarr
ism/
Another fellow defined a psy­chology
professor as "A man
whose job it is to tell students
how to solve the problems of life
he himself has tried to avoid by
becoming a professor of psycho­logy."
The best tale of all concerned
seven brothers. The first one was
a economics instructor and the
second didn't -know anything
either. The third was an English
professor and the fourth didn't
know any good jokes either. The
fifth one taught history and the
sixth one liked a well-turned an­kle
toq. And -the seventh one was
a bachelor just like their father.
Just thought I'd mention a few
of the better comments collected
in a one-man survey of student
sentiment. After talking to a few
of these people I couldn't help
but wonder what the evaluation
check-lists would look like if stu­dents
were allowed to grade their
instructors.
Anyway, in case such a system
was set up here at Auburn, don t
be surprised if you see profs
polishing the apples given them
by the students in their eight o'­clock
classes and handing them
out to the nine o'clock scholars.
Even as you read this, it may
be too late, but if you will HUR­RY
(this point cannot, be over­emphasized)
to the nearest drug
store, you may still be able to
procure a copy of the red hot,
brand new edition of the 1950
"Grier's Almanac for the States
of North Carolina, South Caro­lina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana,
Texas, and Arkansas."
A look at the drab black-and-white
cover of the booklet doesn't
give a clue as to the wealth of
knowledge and world controlling
power which lies inside.
There is information galore for
farmers and gardeners. The
planting calendar inside the
f r o n t cover suggests garden
work for every single month in
the year! In addition, scattered
throughout the pamphlet are
agricultural facts which are of
.the utmost importance to a ny
gentleman farmer. For instance,
near the front of the almanac are
listed the approximate quantity
of seed used per acre in planting
alfalfa (broadcast), alfalfa (drill­ed),
barley, beans, and 33 other
vegetal organisms: and right at
the top of page 45 is revealed
"How to p r ow Peonies".
Mr. Grier effervesces with im­portant
facts about astronomy
and astrology. Did you know
that there will be four eclipses
this year, two of the sun and two
of the moon? The charms of the
Zodiac are explained,' and they
are illustrated by fetching dia­grams.
"Observers should watch
for meteor showers this year,"
advises the section daringly en­titled
"Highlights of the Sky in
1950r', "as some will be unusual­ly
good."
Then there are articles packed
full of ponderous general infor-
"mation. Every r e d-b 1 o o d e d
American should know t h at
"from an annual average catch
of 1,720,000 pounds in Lake Hu­ron
alone, the record for 40 years
previously, »the harvest during
1948 was a meager 5,000 pounds."
And who needs a lawyer? The
sectibn "Brief Business Laws"
covers many subjects, and it
should keep you out of court. Re­member,
"a contract made with
a minor, or a lunatic, is void."
Under the title "Things Worth
Knowing" are given all • the
relevant facts concerning the pre­paration
of a "fine hair dressing,"
made by whipping up a correct­ly-
proportioned mixture of cas­tor
oil, cologne alcohol, oil of
lemon-grass, a n d oil of berga-mont.
Scattered generously through­out
the 'nac are hilarious jokes,
(this one'll kill you: "In filling
out an application for a factory
job, a man puzzled for a time
over the question, 'Person to
notify in case of accident?' Final­ly
he w r o t e : 'Anybody in
sight.' "), thought-provoking epi­grams
(a moment of silence,
please—"Learn from the mis­takes
of others; you don't live
long enough to make them all
yourself."), and spicy witticisms
(tell this one to the boys at the
Amusement Center: "While au­tomobiles
may collide with any
animal, silk stockings run over
calves exclusively."). Aren't those
lulus? And remember, they're
only samples.
But, all things considered, the
best sections of the almanac are
its advertisements. Some of them
direct rather personal questions
toward the reader. "Expecting a
baby?" and "Do you want longer
hair?" and "Do you want to make
men obey you?" are among these.
Other advertisements blare out
a command to the prospective
consumer. You are urged a^ in­tervals
to "Take a look at your
insides", and to "Pick out corns",
and to "Send no money", and to
"Throw a w a y that truss, if it
slips . . . if it chafes . . . if it
gripes."
Probably the most forceful of
, the advertisements are .those
_which make a startling, tf simple,
announcement.; Included in this
group are the ones which read
"Now! You can have straight
hair!" and "Honeymoon Love
Drops secret aroma helps win the
one you love" and "Husbands
scold if wives l o o k old" and
"Hadacol has helped millions."
Don't delay! Rush down to the
drug store and ask for your copy
of "Grier's Almanac". If you are
too late to get one of the price­less
volumes, you may read mine.
I'm" not through* with it ' yet,
though . . . I haven't had time
to read it, because I've been too
busy sending off for free sam­ples.
Letters To The Editor
Barbaric . . . ?

Auburn, Alabama
Dear Editor,
I was under t h e impression
that this was an institute of high­er
learning; but after witnessing
last week's demopstration of
animality, I have just about
changed my mind. T refer to the
disgusting display of physical
and mental abuse which was, at
least, a part of the A Club's in­itiation
of its new members.
We college, students are sup­posed
to be civilized, are sup­posed
to be above the level of
animals; but I wonder what a
visitor from a strange land would
think of this evidence of our "ad­vancement."
I see no reason why
such barbaric conduct should be
permitted on this campus.
Why can't these men, who have
proven their prowess in athletics,
pr#ve thejr worth in other areas
of life as well! This wasted ener­gy
and initiative should be able
to create something more than
bruises on another person's ana­tomy.

Low Mentality . . .

v 202 W. Magnolia St.

Mr. Ed Crawford t
Editor, The Plainsman
. Auburn, Alabama
Dear Editor:
Though I was very much elat­ed
over the recent triumph of
Auburn over Alabama by t he
score of 14-13, I hardly think I
would show this elation by de­facing
one of the "Seven Won­ders
of the World" as was de­scribed
in your prize letter last
week.
It seems to me that such an act
represents a low mentality and
sense of ideals. Undoubtedly, it
was performed by some person
who had at one time attended
Auburn. But I hope the person
did not receive a degree. t
Rather than exploit such an in­cident
which can do so much to
lower' a good reputation, The
Plainsman should point out the
obvious ill repute of the action.
Yours truly,
Richard L. Wright
. . . Or Sadistic?
Dear Editor, »
For the past two and one-half
years-1,, have been a believer in
Aubufh's traditions, but after
witnessing the display of bru­tality
dealt out by the "A" Club,
I am confused.
The "A" Club, I supposed, was
made up of good sportsmen who
were organized to build a better
Auburn, not to mar its reputation.
Part of the initiation was cle­ver
and I believe the crowd en­joyed
the display.
But then the sadistic element
entered. The initiates weren't
paddled but unmercifully beaten.
Some were hit so hard the paddles
broke. The faces of some were
contorted with pain/
Bullying was another uncivi­lized
element which was present
in the initiation. It was pretty
evident that some were hit hard­er
and more frequently than
others, is that a fine quality of
this great sportsman's club??
I would like to congratulate
those men who dropped out of
the initiation, and sympathize
with those who lived through it
all. ' , .
In conclusion, why doesn't the
"A" < Club sponsor something
worthwhile on the campus? The
last project I heard of was a
campaign to paddle freshmen if
they entered the Main Gate.
(God pity any that were caught.)
Amen,
Edward E. Lowry, Jr.
Last week Auburn was shock­ed
by two abominable traffic ac­cidents,
but I do not understand
why they surprised us. The
amazing thing is not that some­one
was injured, but that some­one
is not hurt every day. The
traffic situation here is deplor­able.
With the large number of cars
now on the campus, it is essen­tial
that every
L >• | driver ad h e r e
to all * traffic
regulations. Yet
at any hour of
t h e day or
night we can
see some of the
campus juven­i
l e s dashing
around l i ke
embryonic rac-
Cannon in^ champions,
Statistics show that of the 32,-
000 fatal accidents that occurred
in the United States last year, 31
per cent were caused by the un­der
age group. J n spite of the
fact that it contains less than 20
per cent of the total number 6f
drivers, our age group is the most
dangerous on the r o a d today.
This is hardly an enviable record.
Although the campus police is­sue
tickets from time to time,
m o s t students simply ignore
them. They feel that these offi­cers
have no authority over them.
Whether this is true or false I
do-not know, but they certainly
should have it.
Something could be done about
the traffic situation in Auburn.
For example, students who re­ceive
more than two tickets dur­ing
the quarter should be barred
from driving in Auburn for a
quarter.
Anyone who is consistently
guilty of traffic violations should
have his right to drive in Auburn
"permanently revoked. This may
seem extreme, but the situation
warrants it.
By definition, accidents are
chance happenings. Actually they
are not chance; we make them.
Traffic accidents are not some­thing
inherent in the man-auto
corrfbination". They are placed
there by bad habits.
We know that indifference and
thoughtlessness and carelessness
behind the wheel are responsible
jf6r most accidents. It is odd that
'.'we recognize the problem, know
•the answer and yet the problem
persists.
Students—and faculty mem­bers,
for that matter—who are
not mature enough to drive sane­ly
should n o t be permitted to
drive at all. There is no excuse
for the traffic situation on this
campus. Drastic action to im­prove
it s h o u l d be taken at
once.

Auburn's basketball aggregation, idle all week, resumes
action Saturday night at 7:30 in the Sports Arena with a
strong Vanderbilt Commodore team furnishing the opposition.
Led by Billy Joe Adcock, the Commodore aceoyho looms
„ now as the* outstanding candidate from the South for All-
» America honors, the Vandy quint
brings an SEC record of three
' jwins against no losses (through
January 14) to the Auburn hard-,
wood court. Vandy topped Ala­bama
53-44 and then polished off
Tennessee 67-52. Against Missis­sippi
State, the- Commodores tri­umphed
61r50.
Coach Bob Polk's squad boasts
the services of four lettermen:
three of them seniors. In Adcock,-
the team has a forward who has
not only passed the 1000-point
mark in his college scoring career,
* but one who is equally talented
defensively. Teaming with Ad­cock
is George Kelly to give the
Commodore the, highest* scoring
set of forwards in the conference
last season with scoring averages
^ of 15.4 and 12.5 respectively.
Alternate Captain Pete Bobin-
" sin, 6-4, senior, and a three-year
letterman, gives the Nashville
quintet strength at center. Sopho­mores
Gene Southward and Dave
Kardokus have proven capable
reserves. \
Vanderbilt's 1948-49 record of
14 wins and 8 losses included two
games with the Tigers. Auburn
took the first 48-46 and dropped
the second by a 42-52 count.
r Following the Vanderbilt con-;'
test, the Plainsmen journey to
Tuscaloosa on January 28 and
then to Oxford, Miss, to face the
Ole Miss Rebels on January 30.
Wednesday, Feb. 1, is the next
Auburn home game. It'll be the
Mississippi State Maroons seek­ing
to avenge their 64-66 loss to
the Tigers.
Tech Trips Tigers
Coach Joel Eaves' Atlanta
Homecoming was spoiled last
Tuesday to the tune of 65-49 by
the surprisingly accurSte barrage
of Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets.
It was the first SEC win for the
Techmen and the first loss for the
Plainsmen in the 1950 season.
Packed stands thrilled to the
see-saw struggle provided in the
first ten' minutes of play as the
lead changed hands five times.
* Joe Keener connected with two.
foul shots to put the Jackets
ahead 17-16 and from then on it
- was all Tech.
The Jackets led 35-24 at half
time. They connected on 25 of 61
attempts from the court while the
Plainsmen had trouble setting
their sights and were able to
,^rnake good but 17 of 77 field
fbal attempts. The Tigers, how­ever,
were deadly from the foul
line, making 17 of 21 charity
throws.

Dan-Prigden's smpoth floor
game was a bright spot in the
comparitively sluggish T i g er
showing. Tech's team game was
unusually efficient. Guard Mel
Dodd chalked up 13 pairyts, Joe
Keener had 12, and Colin An­derson
and Bill Cline each got 11.

its fourth SEC win. Florida's Mil­ler
took individual honors with 18
points and Taenzler was runner
up with 12. For Auburn, Bill
Lynn and George Hill led the at­tack
with 11 markers each, fol­lowed
by Don Lanford with 10.
A u b u r n ' s aggressiveness in
controlling the backboards was a
big factor in the victory as the
entire squad played spirited ball
all the way. Dan Pridgen's stellar
defensive work and rebound play-has
earned for this 6-4 Enterprise
boy,, a starting place with the
Tigers.
The fancy footwork and acciir
rate lay-ups of Dwight HitOnd
Gene Hoehle sparked the second
half's play for the Plainsmen.

THE PACE WAS TERRIFIC when Plainsman Staff Photographer Ray Kearney snapped this
picture of Auburn Guard Don Lanford successfully pitching in a two-hand push shot in the Ti­gers'
72-46 victory over Florida here Saturday night. Attempting to block Lanford's try is Jay-cox,
Gator guard. Standing behind Florida player No. 34 is Jack Glasgow, Tiger forward.
Of all the new wearers of t he
coveted "A"; there is none'more
proud of the achievement than
one G. H, "Spud" Wright, Jr. A
native of Auburn, "Spud" iong
dreamed of the day he might have
the chance to earn his letter with
the Tigers. After graduation from
Lee County High School, "Spud"
entered Auburn and immedately
bqcame active in campus af-
. fairs not the leasj of which-was
•activity around the field house.
For his fine work as fresh­man
football manager in 1948
"Spud" was unanimously slee­ted
Varsity Manager by the
1949 squad. In this capacity he
was responsible to C o a c h.
Brown, to the players, and to
Milton Thurston, the equip­ment
manager in the field
house.
On road trips the team mana­ger
is directly responsible for the
equipment. During a game he is
constantly at work catering to
the needs of players and'eoaches,
plus keeping up with individual
player's game time. His is indeed
a busy lot.
"Spud's" garb for "A" Club
initiation was most appropri­ate—
that of a bellhop.
In addition to chores connected
wjth the football team, "Spud"
has been a Plainsman sports re­porter
for three years, and he al­ways
manages to come up with
some "inside scoop." So we_say_
congratulations for a job well
done to "Spud"—the ole reliable.
. * r *
A chilling North wind and driz­zly
skies greeted Auburn's coach­ing
staff and players Monday as
they held the first "Spring"
Training drills of the '50 season.
Thirty-six gridders up from last
season's freshman squad plus six
transfers from junior colleges
were on hand for their two-week's
work before the Varsity
comes upon the scene for the fi­nal
four weeks grind.
Varsity quarterbacks Allan
Parks and Bill Tucker, together
with centers Bill Hoagrth, Jim
Crolla, Homer Williams, and
Danny Stewart, who is being
shifted from fullback to center,
alsp reported for some pre limi-nary-
ball handling practice.

Tiger Grapplers
Win And Lose
By Spud Wright
Auburn's scrappy wrestling
team which opened the season
Friday night with a rousing 31-3
triumph over Vanderbilt, bowed
Monday evening to a team of ex­perienced
grapplers representing
Appalachian State Teachers Col­lege,
N. C , 28-5.
Although the Plainsmen mat-men
lost, the outcome did not-dampen
the spirit of the some
1700 excited" students attending.
During the 175-pound match
which featured Auburn's Dan
Mantrone and Applachian's Joe
Hartley the crowd was on its feet
most of the time keeping up a
thunderous roar,
Mantrone, who stands five-feet,
eight inches tall, matched his
brawn- against Hartley's six-foot,
one-inch frame in what was easily
the most thrilling battle of the
night. Mantrone emerged victori­ous
in the seebnd period after us­ing
his taller opponent as a whip
most of the first three minutes.

Baby Tigers Win
2 Tilts, Lose One
By J. C. Sellers >
The very active Auburn fresh­man
quintet suffered their first
defeat while rolling up their third
and fourth victories last week.
Milltown and B. B. Comer High
were the Rats victims with the
loss came at the hands of the
Georgia Tech plebes. The Cubs
r e c o r d thus far is four wins
against one defeat.
Atlanta was the scene of the
Baby Tigers engagement with the
Baby Yellowjackets. The 'Jack­ets
proved too much for the
Plainsmen, outscoring them 66-55.
The Techmen were led by guard
Crake who set a blistering pace
with 26 markers. For A.P.I. Owen
Hodges and Tom Raney led the
way by sacking 11 and 10 coun­ters
respectively.
The Tiger frosh returned to the
win column last Thursday by vir­tue
of a 49-22 rout of Milltown.
Sparked by Tom Ramey who
netted 10 points and helped by
Buddy Lewelly with 3 and LeRoy
Suddath with 6, the plebes add­ed
their third triumph of the '50
season.
After the varsity finished off
Florida Saturday night, the Cubs
took the floor to face B. B. Co­mer
in a return match. The game
was a nip and tuck affair and the
score was tied at the half 23-23.
However, the rats, paced by Tom
Ramey and O w e n Hodges,
bounded back in front and stayed
there.
j Two games are on tap for the
freshmen this week: They meet
the Roanoke National Guard at
Roanoke tonight and Friday they
again hit the road to face a strong
Valley High quintet. Next week
Loretto Academy of Montgomery
furnishes the competition. The
game will be played in the Sports
Arena at 7:30 p.m.
Worship Workshops

jolted from the laughs of

with thunderous "War Eag­les"

at Langdon and Ross Square ser­ving
only as a backyard to the
stately landmark.

been used by the Auburn Players
for the staging of their produc­tions
