Elections Chairman Clarifies Questions
Arising About Balloting Next Month
Three Different Ballot
Boxes to be Set Up
John Watters, Elections Com­mittee
chairman, issued today a
series of explanations on the com­ing
elections, designed to clarify
the large amount of confusion aris­ing,
as it arises every year, on
election problems.
-By an Elections Committee rul­ing,
balloting in the 1940 spring
elections is to take place on two
different days, juniors going to the
polls on April 2, and voters in the
freshman, sophomore, and Wo­man's
Student Government elec­tions
on April 11.
Hoping to obtain a more repre­sentative
vote than in past elec­tions,
the Committee has decided to
set up three different polling
places, on Ag Hill, Vet Hill, and in
Student Center. To facilitate
checking of the registry, it will be
required that vets vote only on Vet
Hill, ags only on Ag Hill, and all
others in the Student Center.
Lists recently published in the
Plainsman will be used to deter­mine
the eligibility of those voting
and those not appearing on either
the first list of qualified voters or
the list of corrections will not be
allowed to participate in the elec­tions.
The following excerpts from the
Student Constitution are being
published for the benefit of candi­dates
and voters. According to
John Watters, Elections Committee
chairman, the Constitution rules
will govern the coming elections
and will be strictly adhered to.

By Hairline Score
Kelly and Gammage
Star for Tigers in
38-36 Win Over Vols
Led by Davis Gammage and
Sam Kelly, the Auburn swimming
team closed its official 1940 meets
Friday in Alumni Gymnasium
with a 38-36 win over the Univer­sity
of Tennessee.
It was an upset victory for Au­burn,
as the Tigers, going into the
meet with a record of one win over
Emory as against defeats by Geor­gia
and Georgia Tech, were not
figured to give the Volunteers seri­ous
competition.
However, the Tigers took an
early lead by winning the 300-
yard medley relay and the 220-
yard free style, and afterwards
held their own in a nip and tuck
battle for points.
Prospects for a winning team
next year are bright. Capt. Henry
Mohns will be missing, but Gam­mage,
Kelly, and Yarbrough will
be back, in addition to the fresh­man
squad led by Capt. Jim Burt.
The freshmen have no regularly-scheduled
meets, but in two trials
with the varsity they have shown
up well.
The complete summary of the
Auburn-Tennessee meet follows:
300-yard medley relay: Auburn,
first (Gammage, A u s t i n and
White); Tennessee, second (Silva,
Yagodkin and Ashley). Time,
3:02.5.
220-yard free style: Kelly (Au­burn),
first; Webb (Tennessee),
second; Smith (Auburn), third.
Time, 2:33.9.
50-yard free style: Delaney
(Tennessee), first; Webb (Tennes­see),
second; McCall (Auburn),
third. Time, 27.2.
Fancy diving: Elmore (Tennes­see),
first; Norvell (Auburn),
second.
100-yard free style: Kelly (Au­burn),
first; Delaney (Tennessee),
second; Brock (Tennessee), third.
Time, 59.5.
150-yard backstroke: Gammage
(Auburn), first; Silva (Tennes­see),
second; White (Auburn),
third. Time, 1:44.
200-yard breast stroke: Yagod­kin
(Tennessee), first; Mohns
(Auburn), second; Miller (Au­burn),
third. Time, 2:59.
440-yard free style: Kelly (Au­burn),
first; Gammage (Auburn),
second; Silva (Tennessee), third.
Time, 5:45.5.
400-yard free style relay: Ten­nessee,
first (Ashley, Elmore,
Brock, Delaney); Auburn, second
( M c C a l l , Smith, Yarbrough,
White). Time, 3:50.6.
ORANGES-BLUES
PLAY T013-13 TIE
Yearling Backs Steal
Show from Veterans
A crowd of almost 5,000 flocked
into the Auburn Stadium Satur­day
afternoon to see the veteran
Oranges come from behind to
catch a squad of not-so-veteran
Blues and play to a 13-13 tie in
the "Alumni Day" grid game. A
bunch of yearling backs stole the
show from "Dynamite Dick" Mc-
Gowen's Orange-shirts: Jim Rey­nolds,
Ty Irby, Jesse Foshee, Bill
Yearout, and Monk Gafford.
The Oranges tallied first in the
first quarter following a 36-yard
dash by Bud Wendling, and led
7-0.
In the early minutes of the third
period, End Teedie Faulk broke
to and blocked McGowen's punt on
the Orange 30, and when the ball
bounded back Jim LeNoir picked it
up and trotted across for a mar­ker.
The Blues failed to kick
extra point, and the score was 7-6.
A few minutes later the Blues
tallied again, when, after Lenoir
partially blocked one of McGow­en's
boots, Yearout tossed a long
pass to Teedie Faulk, who caught
it on the run and scored standing
up. McMahan kicked extra point,
and the Blues led 13-7.
The aroused Orangemen came
back fighting. McGowen tossed a
long pass to Cheatham, who grab­bed
it on the dead run and after a

LOWERED PRICES
FOR SENIOR BALL
IS SPECULATED
Henley Working on
Plan Along With
Senior Class Officers
A cooperative plan by which
seniors will be allowed to pur­chase
block tickets to the Auburn
Final Dances, April 26-27, at re­duced
prices, is being considered
by senior class officers and Tom
Henley, chairman of the Social
Committee.
Kenneth Funchess, president of
the Senior Class, announced this
week that a class meeting would
be held on the return of students
from spring holidays for the con­sideration
of the proposal.
Through the plan a minimum of
300 seniors will be able to buy
tickets for the entire set of dances
at the price of $5.
Present plans call for a set of
five dances, for which tickets, not
sold through fraternity blocks or
through the senior cooperative
plan, will cost $7.50.
Seniors with fraternity dance
tickets, under the proposed plan,
could apply their tickets for $2
toward the $5 block.
Funchess will be in charge of
the cooperative ticket sale, if
plans are approved. Seniors will
pay Funchess $5 each, for which
they will be given receipts. These
receipts will entitle the purchaser
to tickets when the. entire group
of 300 is sold, or may be applied
on a regular set ticket in case the
minimum is not reached. No tick­ets
will be given to seniors until
the minimum of 300 have paid
for them.
Under the plan, senior girls
who wish to purchase tickets in
the block will be allowed to do
so.
Two Bands To Play
Henley stated yesterday that
because of complaints of the long
and frequent interruptions at the
mid-term dances for rest periods
for the orchestras, arrangements
were being made to have two
bands for the Final Dances. One,
probably a local band, would play
during the rest periods of the fea­ture
orchestra, thus insuring con­tinuous
music with no interrup­tions.
The presidents of the various
fraternities cooperating in the
fraternity block ticket plan have
been requested to turn in to Chair­man
Henley the pictures of their
dates for the dances in order that
cuts may be made of them for
publication immediately after
spring holidays.
AUBURN FRESHMAN
DIES AT HOME IN
CLANTON, ALA.
J. Lee Smith, Jr., first semester
freshman in pre-med died yester­day
morning at his home in Clan-ton
from pneumonia. He is the son
of Judge and Mrs. J. Lee Smith
of Clanton and was a pledge of
Pi Kappa' Alpha fraternity. He
had been ill for a week before his
death and developed pneumonia
Saturday afternoon just after ar­riving
home for a visit.
A large number of the local
chapter of Pi KA are attending his
funeral in Clanton today.
Final Two Dean's
Lists Made Public
The two remaining dean's lists,
Architecture and the Allied Arts,
and Home Economics, were re­leased
yesterday by the registrar's
office.
Those comprising the dean's list
from the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts are Edwin T. fac-
Cowan, Paul Rudolph, and C. M.
Kelley, all seniors.
From the School of Home Eco­nomics

Elizabeth Rimes, seniors, . and
Francis Hodge and Margaret Lin-don,
juniors.
This raised to 70 the number of
students on all the dean's lists.
AH students on the dean's lists
have unlimited cut privileges for
this semester, so long as their
work is of high enough quality to
merit the privilege.
No Double Cuts, Says
Registrar's Office
Double cuts will not be charged
for cuts taken immediately before
and after the spring holidays,
which begin tomorrow and continue
through Sunday, March 24, ac­cording
to the registrar's office.
No more issues of the Plainsman
will be published this week, the
next issue appearing on next Tues­day,
when regular publishing
schedule will be resumed.

Track Team To Open Cinder Season At
Florida Relays On Last Day Of Month
Ineligibility and f
Graduation Hit Squad
By ART JONES
Under the direction of Coach
Wilbur Hutsell, Auburn's 1940
cinder squad is gradually getting
into shape for the forthcoming
track season, which opens with
Percy Beard's Florida Relays in
Gainesville on March 31.
The eyes of spectators at meets
this spring will be focused large­ly
on Captain Charles "Chuck"
Morgan, Southeastern Conference
champion in the high hurdles in
1939, with a time of 14.8, and co-champion
in the high jump in
1938, with a mark of 6' 3 3/16",
and on Alternate Captain Bob
Dickinson, holder of the Auburn
record in the broad jump with a
leap of 23' 6" set in the 1938
Southeastern Conference meet. In
the 1939 meet, Dickinson was sec-only
to LSU's All - American
broad jumper, Billy Brown.
Other lettermen back are "Red"
Singletary in the hurdles, Jim Hol-ley
in the quarter and half-mile,
and Jim Stephenson in t he
weights.
Also outstanding is giant Chet
Bulger in the shot, discus, and
javelin. Bulger has placed in the
conference meet for the past two
years, setting a new Auburn re­cord
last year in the shot put of
48' 7%", eclipsed only by White
of Tulane and Smith of Florida.
Non-letter men who have made
good showings so far are Boots
Stratford in the sprints, Harry
"Rat" Russell in the mile, Jack
Cagle in the two mile, Hoyt Hall
in the pole vault, and Harris in
the broad jump.
To date no new material has
shown up to replace several of
last year's outstanding Tigers,
among whom was Dave Sprinkle,
one of" the best pole-vaulters in
the country. Jim Swanner, defeat­ed
only once in the 880, and Percy
South in the hurdles and high
jump, also left vacancies, as did
John Sharp Roberts, knocked out
by ineligibility from the two-mile,
and John Grady in the quarter-mile.
The team as it now stands, as
given yesterday by Coach Hutsell,
is as follows:
100-yard dash: Dickinson, Strat­ford,
Harris.
220: Stratford, Harris.
440: Holley, Davenport, Shear­er,
Morton.
880: Holley, Russell, Shearer.

3:30; Second Contest is Tomorrow
At a late hour this morning the Auburn-Ohio State
polo game was stil scheduled to be played this afternoon in

till immediately before game time, 3:30, to see if the field
would be dry enough for play.
Second game of the two-game series is scheduled for
the same time tomorrow afternoon.

Sigma Nu's Cop
Court Crown
Down Sigma Chi's in
Finals by 32-19 Win
In a rough-and-tumble game in
which two Snakes were ejected
via the foul route, the Sigma Nu's
clinched the fraternity intramural
basketball title last night by
swamping the Sigma Chi's 32-19.
With Dave Rogers and Craig Jack­son
stripping the cords from all
corners of the court, the Sigma
Nu's ran up a 9-3 lead in the first
few minutes, and from then on
stayed ahead, and at half-time
were leading 25-11. Dave Rogers
and Meredyth Hazzard did fine
jobs of guarding the Sigma Chi's
ace scorers, "Sinky" Scholze and
Bill Lee.
By trouncing the Pi K A quin­tet
25-11 Friday night and then
licking the Sigma Nu's 32-11 Sat­urday
night, the Sigma Chi's en­tered
the finals as favorites to
cop the championship with little or
no trouble.
Since the favorites had lost one
game already, the Sigma Nu's
loss Saturday night necessitated
the final game, two losses being
necessary to eliminate a team.

Alabama And Her Forests
ACCORDING to Judge Walter B.
Jones in the Montgomery Ad­vertiser,
Alabama has about 20,-
000,000 acres of forest land, and
the state ranks sixth in the nation
in the production of lumber. It's
unusual for Alabama to rank as
high as sixth in anything except in
disadvantages, so the state will do
well to capitalize on one of her
few real treasures.
In spite of conservationist ef­fort
that reaches down nearly
every little by-road in the country,
America's timber supply is being
depleted more each year, and as
the general supply becomes more
precious, Alabama's share in it is
increasing in importance.
Planting t r e e s , particularly
seedling pines, is so negligible in
cost and requires so little labor
for the return that Alabama's vast
unproductive acres could be put to
timber cheaply. It's almost sicken­ing
to ride through the state and
see the miles and miles of raw,
eroding, unused land—unproduc­tive,
tax-burdensome, and useless
—and compare the picture with
that of some of the countries of
Europe, even of parts of the
United Sates, where every inch of
land is utilized to the fullest ad­vantage.
The State of Alabama owns land
that is lying fallow and non-pro­ductive.
Why can't that be planted
in growing treasure for the next
generation of Alabamians? Con­vict
labor and a few dollars for
seedlings would bring in tremen­dous
increment as well as natural
beauty and increased state pride.
Turkey's timber supply was gone
long ago, and her people have
scrabbled for firewood and build­ing
materials for untold years.
Now the country is rebuilding a
supply, for the inimitable Kamal
Ataturk persuaded every Turk to
plant at least one tree each year.
The next generation of Turks will
begin to reap the benefits of a pol­icy
that is yet in its infancy.
Alabama's position is far differ­ent
from that of Turkey, but she
can look there to see what results
when timber is gone and what she
can gain by reproducing her's.
Students And The Census
UNCLE SAM is asking college stu­dents
to write home during
March and request something be­sides
the traditional check. He
wants all young men and women
living temporarily at school to re­mind
their parents, "Count me in
when the census-taker comes
around in April." This year Cen­sus
Bureau officials believe that
the accuracy of the count of stu­dents
away from home at the time
of the Census can be improved.
College students temporarily
away from home to attend school
should be counted as members of
the households in which they us­ually
reside. However students who
have no permanent residence other
than the places in which they are
living while attending school or
college should be enumerated there.
Members of the latter group should
call or write to the district super­visor
of the Census if they are not
enumerated.
Also the Bureau needs the stu­dents'
help in actual fact finding,
and is asking them to supply their
parents with certain information
they will need in order to report
on them accurately. Offhand, it
would seem that parents would
know everything about the student
which would be called for in the
Census. But the questions being
asked this year are more complex
than those of recent years, and
parents may not be able to answer
some of them without the students'
help.
The queries on which parents
are most likely to be uncertain are
t h o s e relating to employment
status. Information is wanted on
the following points:
Number of weeks the student work­ed
in 1939 (equivalent full-time weeks).
Number of hours he worked during
the week of March 24-30, 1940.
Present, or if seeking work, last oc­cupation
(exact nature of duties per­formed).
Present or last industry (kind of fac­tory,
store or other place of business).
Present or last class of worker (wage
or salary worker in private work; wage
or salary worked in government work;
employed; working on own account; un­paid
family workers).
Whether at work in private or non­emergency
government work during
week of March 24-30.
If not, whether assigned to public
emergency work (such as NYA) during
that week.
If neither, whether seeking work.
If not at work or seeking work, does
the student have a job or business,
from which he is temporarily on vaca­tion,
sick leave or lay-off? (Students
on Easter vacation between March 24-
30 might be in this group.)
Is The Hatch Act Sincere?
THE HATCH ACT, now being
considered by Congress, assumes
that any political activity by gov­ernmental
employees is detrimen­tal.
Like any proposal arrived at
by reasoning, the Act is a failure
if its major premise is fallacious,
and in this case there is real
enough reason to believe that some
fallacy is present. To jump at the
very broad conclusion that for any
governmental employee to engage
in politics is harmful is to disre­gard
completely pertinent facts
about government.
In effect the bill deprives a gov­ernment
worker from his right of
political activity without giving
him any of the benefits of civil ser­vice,
making his tenure even more
uncertain than it is now. The bill
is aimed at "illegal political ac­tion,"
but nowhere does it contain
a specific definition of that term.
Furthermore, it's pure inconsis­tency
for a nation to ask on the one
hand for participation in govern­ment
and on the other deny it to
a substantial group. Instead of an
act restricting political activity we
might well have one encouraging
it. The idea that a citizen has no
right to participate in his govern­ment
because he draws part of his
pay from it is hardly in keeping
with the intentions of the Consti­tution
or the principles of democ­racy
itself.
Even if one does accept the
Hatch bill's major premise—that
political action is undesirable for
government-paid workers — there
is still doubt of whether the bill
is the solution and whether it
would achieve what it sets out
to do.
On Calling Your Girl
OFFICIALS at the Women's Quad­rangle
are being subjected to the
annoyance of boys calling the four
girls' dormitories by dormitory
numbers rather than by actual
telephone numbers, causing trou­ble
for the telephone company as
well as for those who live in the
dorms.
Do your part by calling the
telephone number.
For benefit of those who aren't
familiar with the numbers, here
they are. Clip them out and paste
them on the wall, or somewhere.

Betterment of Negro Education
In Alabama Praised by Press
GOV. DIXON and the presidents of the
state's colleges have wisely concluded
that the problem of higher education
for Negroes in this state must be met
frankly in accordance with the spirit
of the law as laid down by the Su­preme
Court's decision in the Missouri
case. The court held that any state
which excluded Negroes from white
colleges must provide adequate facili­ties
for Negro students. This is the law
and ultimately must be complied with
—why not now? Answering this ques­tion,
the governor and the college pres­idents,
including the presidents of two
Negro colleges, have agreed upon a plan
by which the spirit of the law may be
satisfied in Alabama.
As an outcome of the conference be­tween
the governor and the educators
it is expected that a new building will
be erected on the campus at Tuskegee
Institute in which vocational agriculture
and home economics students will find
adequate accommodations. The facili­ties
of State Teachers College are to
be expanded. Other steps will be taken
to improve the Negro school system.
Today a Negro cannot gain admit­tance
to a college that teaches law,
medicine, pharmacy or engineering, yet
more than a third of our total popu­lation
consists of Negroes, all of whom
are subject to taxation by the state for
the maintenance of colleges for the con­venience
of white students of these pro­fessions.
The bi-racial character of the Ala­bama
education system has long posed
a difficult problem for our people large­ly
because of economic factors. The
Negro has needed education as badly
as the white man, to be sure,^ but be­cause
of his poverty he has not been
able to bear his share of the cost of
maintaining a dual system. In the
schoolhouse as elsewhere the Negro has
had to take the leavings because of in­exorable
circumstances. But white peo­ple
have become increasingly sympa­thetic
to the cause of reasonable edu­cational
opportunities for all, not just
their own. The wisest of our white lead­ers
have accepted the broad principle
that education for all who are mentally
equipped to receive it should be avail­able.
They realize that a trained hu­man
being is a more useful and produc­tive
citizen than an untrained one.
They know, moreover, that the genius
of a race cannot be bottled up forever,
for genius has a way of going sour and
blowing up, if too long confined.
And so, we think, the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
a decision which is plainly just and
fair, finds the accredited leadership of
Alabama, a state of the Deep South,
ready to comply as far as is financial­ly
feasible with the spirit and purpose
of the constitution. Thus Gov. Dixon
and the college presidents are to be
commended for the forthright and in­telligent
manner with which they are
endeavoring to anticipate the inevitable.

American Students Do Not Favor
The Lowering of Minimum Voting Age
ALTHOUGH less than one-third of col­lege
students are eligible to vote in
state or national elections, nearly nine
out of 10 believe they should not be al­lowed
to go to the polls before they are
21.
This is shown in a national study con­ducted
by the Student Opinion Surveys
of America. Asked, "Are you for or
against lowering the voting age from
21 to 18?" only 11 per cent answered
"yes.'
That suffrage is for adults only seems
to be a firmly-set tradition with the Am­erican
people, voters as well as non-vot­ing
students. A sampling conducted by
the American Institute of Public Opin­ion
in June, 1939, pointed out that 83 per
cent of the nation opposed reducing the
suffrage age to 18.
Interviewing a carefully-selected cross
section of students in all types and sizes
of institutions, the Surveys found:
For Against
All students 11% 89%
Students 21 or over._ 12 88
Students less than 21 10 90
The tabulations show that opinion is
heavily in the opposition, and all stu­dent
groups agree by almost identical
percentages. It should be noted that it
is the younger people themselves who
are most opposed to allowing minors 18
to 21 to vote. Students 21 or over—a
group of nearly half a million—are
slightly less opposed to such a change,
and adult non-students are the least
against. The usual reason given in the
student poll was that voting should be
restricted because young people 18 or
19 do not know enough about govern­ment.
Surveys figures, however, tend to
show that sometimes college students are
better informed than the average voter.
For example, an American Institute poll
brought to light that one third of the
voters were not familiar with the activi­ties
of the Dies Committee. The Surveys
found only 17 per cent of the collegians
had no opinion on the same subject.
Whether to give younger persons a
voice in the government was brought
into the headlines recently when the
American Youth Commission pointed out
that the constantly-increasing number of
aged people, who are eligible to vote, is
making possible such programs as the
Social Security Act, while youth, which
is not enfranchised, has no power to
bring about government solution of its
problems.
Skunk,Despoils Sacred
Professorial Dignity
SMELLY story: One recent evening
Prof. Clarence Gaines, of St. Law­rence
University made his usual right
turn at number 20 Pine Street and
climbed the steps to his home. Shortly
afterward his wife called to him to let
the cat in. Although recalling that the
animal had already come in, he dutifully
opened the door, peered out, and saw the
cat waiting at his feet. Thinking he
must have been absent-minded, he ad­mitted
the cat and dismissed the inci­dent.
But presently a very unpleasant odor
permeated even the remotest corners of
the Gaines home. The first arrival was
a skunk, and to add dismay to surprise,
although they searched diligently, the
animal could not be found I
Thus is explained Professor Gaines'
departure from his customary attire and
even the hornrimmed glasses the next
morning. (ACP).

GLANCING back over the list of pro­jects
advanced by student groups dur­ing
the past year, we find one that is
, still "on the fire" and
already time-seasoned
by simply waiting for
some action to come
from college officials.
We are referring to
the move started by
the Student Execu­tive
Cabinet to elimi­nate
the e v i l s of
cheating among the
students on examina-tions.
<*"V " * ? To many this pro-ject
was ill-advised, to many more the
idea bred contempt and ill-feeling to­ward
those supporting the project, and
to others the idea was received with
much delight over the fact that maybe
some progress could be made in the di­rection
of improvement. However, of
late, practically all hope in the project
has seemingly died down.
A group of four students appeared
before the Executive Council and pre­sented
a fairly workable plan that, of
course, had many details left for ad­ministrative
decision. At that time it
was revealed that many of the out­standing
men on the campus were ready
to support the elimination of cheating;
it was also emphasized that a large
number of influential organizations were
ready to give their efforts to aid the
faculty in working out the minute de­tails.
This happened on February 24,
and right there the matter bogged down.
Since that date a series of short talks
have been had with the administrative
officials who could send the project
through to completion or turn thumbs
down on it. The fact remains that no
progress has been made other than a
series of time-consuming promises, mak­ing
the attempts of the students seem
almost futile.
* * *
To the seniors the remaining few
weeks of school are valuable; any ideas
that they might have desired have either
been accomplished or die with their de­parture
from Auburn. This is one pro­ject
that is going to receive distinct em­phasis
for the remainder of the year,
for better or for worse. It is one that
many groups feel is worthwhile enough
to put up a stiff fight to achieve a lit­tle
headway.
Of course if such matter as trying to
improve the moral set-up of the student
body is so unimportant that it cannot
demand the cooperation of all concerned,
both faculty and students, we could very
easily see the inadvisability of trying to
carry one; however, there are many who
do feel that a great deal of good can be
accomplished and who do feel that it is
a matter that demands concern. We
believe that those groups so thinking
should have every support.
It boils down to this. The students
have presented their plan, which they
admit contains many features that need
refining or even changing; however, they
have not received any counter-proposals
or particular encouragement since they
did their part. They feel that the mat­ter
has been unduly side-tracked and
should have received some whole-heart­ed
attention.

Next week will be
Alabama P r o d u c t s
Week, declared by Gov. Dixon, if our
information is correct. Auburn civic
clubs will cooperate, and Alabama
schools will be asked to aid.
The purpose will be to better acquaint
Alabamians with products made within
the State, and to encourage the pur­chase
of these items.
Alabama, one of the best fortified of
states in natural resources, is well down
in the list of industrial development.
Ideally situated in respect to raw ma­terials,
we have been backward in pro­duction.
It is hoped that this drive will
open a new move in manufacturing ex­pansion.
* * *
New industries are locating in Ala­bama.
Some few of these are large and
well-known, but by far the largest por­tion
are new businesses, anxious to se­cure
a secure footing. It is for these
that a week has been set aside to fa­miliarize
Alabama citizens with native
products. Such a move is by no means
the first, but with cooperation of Ala­bama
buyers it may prove to be by far
the most successful.

Talk is already circulating as to the

choice is Glenn Miller.

second.
In the American division, our highly
polished cannon ball, substituting for the

The Phillies will finish seventh in the

The Florida 'Gator swimming team
finished its season by trouncing Havana
University 66-9, after which the tank­ers

Question: I went with a girl steady
my last two years of high schoql. When
I came to Auburn two years ago we
corresponded regularly, and in the sum­mers
we have been very chummy. Of
late her letters have been short, and to
put it mildly, very infrequent. I have
heard that she has been making the
rounds recently with my best friend who
attends college at a school much nearer
home than this. I like this girl very
much. What can I do?

Undergraduate Radio
Network Formed In
New England Colleges
RADIO-minded sudents in a dozen east­ern
colleges and universities are work­ing
overtime these days to bring about
an initial interchange of programs over
the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System,
first undergraduate network of its kind.
The system was organized last month
at an intercollegiate conference sponsor­ed
by the Brown Network at Brown
University, which brings daily programs
to dormitories and fraternity houses by
low-powered short wave over a 30,000-
foot web of transmission lines. The
Brown Network, pioneer in campus
broadcasting, is headquarters for the
new intercollegiate organization.
Charter members of the "IBS," as its
organizers call it, include Brown, Cor­nell,
Columbia, Holy Cross, Pembroke,
Rhode Island State, St. Lawrence, Uni­versity
of Connecticut, Wesleyan and
Williams. Fifteen other colleges and
universities extending as far west as
Colorado either have campus stations
under construction or projected.
According to the executive committee
of the IBS, the first intercollegiate
broadcast is scheduled for about April
15. At least five eastern colleges, in­cluding
some of the charter members,
will be linked together by a combination
of telephone lines or short wave. Experi­mental
exchange broadcasts of recordings
are now being tried among the member
colleges which have their stations fin­ished.
