Green Wave Has Lost Two, Won One
This Season; Tigers Have Won Three
By Frank Sego
Coach Carl Voyles' thundering herd of the Plains, gaining greater
gridiron prestige in the nation as the weeks of this still infant 1946
season roll by, are primed for their initial Southeastern Conference
battle as they invade the Crescent City of New Orleans, Saturday,
for the traditional classic with Henry Frnka's highly-touted Tulane
Green Wave. Kickoff is slated for
Three-Tjered Cake Given Dr. Duncan
At Surprise Birthday Party Monday
By Woodrow Breland
It isn't often you hear a surprise broadcast over the radio, but
Monday's surprise in Langdon Hall went out over Station WJHO.
In memory of our recent football victories, the program began with
the singing of "War Eagle." Then, after a nostalgic solo by Dr. Hol-lace
Arment, master of ceremonies John N. Baker told, the secret
of the surprise.
It was Dr. Duncan's birthday.
Quite a number of friends from
off the campus were there to
help him celebrate. The API
News Bureau sponsored the
event, and Mr. Baiter kept the
program clicking smoothly as he
introduced several people to pay
respects and wish Happy Birth­day
to Dr, Duncan.
Ralph Drauglion spoke for the
API staff. He expressed their ap­preciation
to Qr. Duncan for his
patience and pourage in dealing
with everybody's problems. The
staff takes new hope when con­fronted
with problems because of
the personal interest our presi­dent
is known for. i
S, L, Toomer pledged 'toe un­ceasing
support of the Board of
Trustees and the Auburn towns­people
to Dr. Duncan's efforts.
He has known Dr. Duncan for 50
years and spoke highly ef him.
He cited the part Dr. Duncan's
keen business judgment has play­ed
in bringing Auburn to what
it is now, from a state of near
financial collapse.
Frank Cannon, president of Au­burn
Independents Organization,
and Frank Boyd,' Montgomery
businessman and President of
A u b u r n Alumni. Association,

Dixie's No. 2 Tilt
This twenty-seventh meeting
between Auburn and Tulane has
been rated second only to the
Alabama-Tennessee fracas as the
No. 2 attraction on the South's
grid menu for Saturday.
As'•far as history is concerned,
the series was inaugurated in
1902, and since, the Wave' has
garnered 11 victories to the Ben­gals'
nine with six of the tilts
ending in deadlocks. Last year's
20-14 thriller favoring Auburn
will be recalled as the Tigers'
best performance against rugged
Southeastern Conference opposi­tion
in 1945.
Tulane, like the Plainsmen but
not as successful, has engaged in
grid warfare three times this sea­son,
taking a hard-fought contest
from the Florida 'Gators (27-13)
while dropping the others to Ala­bama
(6-7) and Rice (6-25).
Tidwell to Strut Stuff
In Travelin' Travis Tidwell,
undisputed in his coveted posi­tion
as the nation's No. 1 offen­sive
star, Voyles is confident that
he has a match for any of Frnka's
trio of outstanding passers and
ground-gainers, namely O. J.
Key, Jim Keeton, and the comet­like
plebe, Cliff Van Meter, who
was a constant thorn in the side
of Alabama's Crimson Tide sever­al
weeks ago.
In the St. Louis skirmish last
Saturday, Tidwell averaged 5.4
yards per carry, but it was
through his million dollar arm
that he literally covered himself
with glory. The former Navy
fireman fired three heaves and
set himself up for |the fourth
Tiger marker.
Wilson May Be Ready
Another bright spot in the
Tiger encampment is the possible
return of Bill Wilson, capable
right halfback who is lightning
in his handling of reverses. Wil­son
was injured in the Furman
tilt and again in last Monday's
scrimmage, thus preventing him
from any action against the St.
Louis Billikens.
Frnka, on the other hand,
boasts one of the South's finest
lineman in Big Ed Deramee, Cap­tain
and All-America mention at
left guard for the star-studded
1945 Navy eleven.

CAREER IN PLASTICS
X
The Story of
JIM PYLE
IN 1935 Jim Pyle received his B.A. degree in
chemistry from the University of British
Columbia. . . .
In 1943 he was appointed director of the General
Electric Plastics Laboratories. . . ;
Eight years to travel from college senior to
leadership in the laboratories of the world's largest
plastics molder—the record suggests that perhaps
Jim has found in his test tubes some secret formula
for success.
Jim's friends say, however, that the secret is
merely a compound of-two very simple elements:
he was well prepared before he came to G.E.,
and he has worked energetically and imaginatively
since accepting his G-E assignment.
For the college student interested in plastics,
Jim recommends as a preparation "a solid ground­ing
in the fundamentals of chemistry, physics and
mathematics." His own preparation for research
comprised two years in biochemistry, two more
years in synthetic organic chemistry and a final
year in the chemistry of lignin.
At G.E. Jim found that the Company's process­ing
of resins could be improved and improved it.
He was placed in charge of development of
laminate plastics—and worked out a new line in
less than a year. He helped develop new types of
plastics materials, new chemical "products, syn­thetic
fibers, synthetic rubbers, and ion exchange
resins—each of them a milestone of his career in
plastics.
Next lo schools and the U.S. Government, General
Electric is the foremost employer of college engineering
graduates.
One of Jim's special studies in college was
an investigation of carbohydrate metabolism
Today for G.E., he directs research in new
plastics materials for the home

Kinsmen To The Greats, And Potential
Greats Themselves—Gafford and Shiver
Two highly promising backfield prospects on the Auburn foot­ball
squad have All-American relatives, and strangely enough, they
are roommates.
They are Freddy Gafford, whose brother is the famous Monk
of 1942 fame, and Jim Shiver, cousin of Chick Shiver, former Ail-
American end for the University
of Georgia Bulldogs.
Young Shiver's football career
has been on the upgrade since
the very first day he donned grid
toggery. While at Valdosta, Ga.,
in 1940 he played with the state
championship eleven and ended
as an All-Southern, All-Confer­ence
prep school choice.
From Valdosta Jim came to
the 'Loveliest Village' in 1942,
and as a freshman climbed im­mediately
from the B-team to the
varsity squad—the same squad on
which Monk Gafford was a regu­lar.
The next year saw him in the
blues of a Navy V-12 student at
Tulane where he lettered in foot­ball
and baseball. Unfortunately,
while playing baseball, Jim re­ceived
a broken leg, but it mend­ed
without complications and has.
never since bothered him.
A triple-threat whose punts
average over 42 yards, a top­flight
passer, and a loose type,
hard runnier, Shiver will prove
to be 165 pounds of dynamite to
Auburn's opponents in the next
three seasons.
Freddie, whose ambition is to
equal his brother's record, is
considered one of the hardest
workers on the Tiger squad.

Tennis Tournament Big
Event at Westminster
The Presbyterian athletes are
running ten miles each day as
they prepare for the big tennis
tournament, under the direction
of Herbert Waters, which gets
under way this week.
Students who like to watch
skillfully played tennis sets
should stop at the Westminster
House tennis court this week to
see the Presbyterian Students in
action. There some adroit com­petitors

County High in Fort Deposit and
at Starke's Military Academy in
Montgomery, it was the opinion
of many that Freddie was more
outstanding than his famous
brother. But how his college grid
career will compare with Monk's
remains to be seen. If Freddie
even comes close, he will have a
good record indeed.
After serving In the ETO where
he received five battle stars, one
for participation in the "Battle of
the Bulge", Freddie entered Au­burn
in January and weighed in
for practice at 152, approximate­ly
thirteen pounds lighter than
h i s brother's playing weight
while at API.
Coach Carl Voyles, in a recent
radio broadcast, rated him as
possibly the best punter on the
squad. Besides, he is extremely
dangerous as a safety man and a
very effective ball carrier in the
open.
Both Gafford and Sniver—
kinsmen to the greats—are cer­tainly
potential greats them­selves.

COEDS AT PURDUE DATE LONG HAIRS WHO
ARE BOYCOTTING DOLLAR-A-HEAD BARBERS
Up at Purdue University a
real "buyers strike" is in progress.
The local barbers decided to in­crease
their price for a haircut
to $1.00. The students promptly
decided they could do without
haircuts. At last report, the bar­bers
were having an enforced
vacation and the students were
becoming longhairs.
A recent letter to the editor of
the Purdue Exponent suggested
that the President and the Deans
join the students in the strike.
We have no report on this. But
the women students have agreed
to support the strike fully—they
say they will continue to date the
men no matter how long their
hair gets.
We watch with bated breath
for each new issue of the Ex­ponent
to reach us so that we
may get the latest details on the
matter. As reports come in they
will be passed on to API stu­dents
through their paper. Who
knows? There might be a moral
there.

(I might add here that there are
only two famous people from
Lafayette — Joe Louis and
"Stringbean".) He is a junior in

Ralph was weeping bitter tears
in his coffee during our inter­view
because of the lack of vol­unteers
for the "Rag". "If only
it were a paying'^ student mag­azine
instead of an Inter-fra­ternity
publication, I'm sure I
would get ample help", he cried.
Nevertheless, this suave, super­latively
handsome sophisticated,
cosmopolitan undergraduate (no,
I'm not running for a thing) of
Auburn plans to have a "Tiger
Rag" by the end of the month.
Ralph has several dislikes, the
main one being people that don't
laugh at his jokes in the "Rag".
Saturday quizzes and Talmadge
run close for second place.
Among his many likes are
Chesterfields, beer, blondes,
Chesterfields, b l o n d e s , beer,
Chesterfields, and people who in­terview
him. (Isn't he nice to plug
Chesterfields for rAe?)
He is vice-president of PiKA,
his favorite fraternity, a very ac­tive
Squire, and riot to be for­gotten—
the editor-in-chief of the
"Tiger Rag".
At the outbreak of the war
there were several hundred Au­burn
students and our "String­bean"
who were inducted, went
to basic training and ASTP to­gether—
now almost all of them
have returned to their old stomp­ing
ground, A.P.I. They have met
once in the Chemical Building.
It would do Ralph's heart good
if they could organize. I asked
him the name of the proposed
club and he said, "Just call us
the Rinky Dinks." I certainly
wish you boys the best of every­thing
you endeavor to do.

On The Boswell Amendment Again
Editors Note: Last week's editorial on
the proposed Boswell Amendment was not,
according to Dan Meador, a presentation
of both sides of the question. His discus­sion
is presented this week, arid does not
necessarily represent the views of The
Plainsman. * * *
The argument has been put forth that
for the past 45 years we have had no Bos­well
Amendment and there has been no
Negro domination of the polls in Alabama.
The facts are that for the past 45 years,
until recently, there have been no Su­preme
Court decisions such as the preced­ent
breaking Texas White Primary Deci­sion
which says a state must allow Negroes
to vote in its primary elections. There has
been no PAC such as exists now, controlled
by outside influences, inciting Negroes to
go to the polls and vote.
Until recent years there has not been
such a multitude of outside meddlers in
Washington intent upon breaking down
the fundamental social structure of the
South. It can easily be seen that the voting
qualifications set up 45 years ago are out­moded
and cannot cope with the situation
that exists today.
The present voting qualifications state
that if a man, or his wife, owns and pays
taxes on property assessed at $300 he is
eligible to vote. Forty five years ago when
this provision was set up, $300 was a con­siderable
sum of money. Today, almost
any one in Alabama has $300 worth of
property even though he has no more than
a third grade education. Any old worn out
car or shack is worth that amount now.
So we see that the voting laws set up
in 1901 have served their time and are
practically useless in the situation which
confronts Alabama today. That is where
the Boswell Amendment comes in. This
amendment says that before a man or
woman can vote he or she must be able to
explain any article in the United States
Constitution. This clause will prevent vast
hordes of uneducated from flooding the
polls. There is nothing illegal in the least
about such a clause as the U. S. Constitu­tion
states explicitly that each state shall
establish its own voting qualifications.
If the Boswell Amendment is not pass­ed
thousands of Negores will be able to
register in Alabama and don't think they
won't. Over one hundred thousand have
registered in Georgia. Alabama will suffer
a similar fate soon if the present registra­tion
laws remain as they are. With a little
foresight it can be seen that in the Black
Belt counties with Negroes comprising 50
to 70 per cent of the population it won't
be long before Negroes are in office just
as they were in the dark days of Recon­struction.
Incidentally, Alabama is still
paying on the debt incurred by a Negro
Legislature 70 years ago.
If the Boswell Amendment is passed the
white people of our state will be able to
control the influx of Negro voters at the
polls. It is the writer's opinion that we
would rather trust a board of registrars
than commit our county governments to
Negro domination. The State Democratic
Executive Committee, which has always
guided our policy in the past, has endorsed
the amendment.
Think before you vote!
This Week We Give A Lasting Salute
For the community of Auburn, and for
students of API, this is a week especially
assigned to a stressing of that religious.
It is not only a week of fellowship, but
also a specific time, chosen from eternity,
wherein man may salute his God. On the
field of battle, a salute can signify only one
moment of respect; however, that which is
religious reverence is not temporary. A
religious salute is a lasting salute.
Though hemmed in between the pungent
Proverbs and esthetical Isaiah, the pessi­mistic
book of Ecclesiastes contains one
very striking verse which bears more
punch than any other biblical exhirtation.
It is this:
"Remember now thy Creator in the days
of thy youth.
Salute Him while the cards are still in
hand, for, like the smooth slur from one
pitch to another on a violin, youth passes
to middle age. While there is time and
time to spare, shake His hand, for- now
His hand can be grasped respectfully; la­ter,
it may be kissed obsequiously.
What is this religion which is held in
such awe? There are those who worship,
there are those who salute, knowing not
what. In a wedding ceremony some while
ago, the preacher had attained that point
at which the bridegroom had only to say
"I do." But not this bridegroom. Said he:
"I don't know whereas I want to or not."'
Naturally, the bride fainted. Later (after
marriage) the bridegroom revealed that in
such a dazed state had he been, that he
didn't know what it was all about. Religion
is often petted by those who have not one
cognition of what it's all about.
Religion is godlikeness—possession of a
character and spirit like God's, a system
of faith and worship of the one Theos, and
an abidance by His basic laws. Many dif­ferences
of opinion exist in interpretation
of those laws, and one must decide for
himself which way to jump the fence.
James says: "Pure religion and unde-filed
before God is this, To visit the father­less
and widows in their afflictions, and to
keep himslf unspotted from the world."
Paul exhorts: ". . . . refuse profane . ." .
fables, and exercise thyself rather unto
godliness." This in his letter to Timothy.
Aye, "great is the mystery of godliness,"
but, as is later stated in the epistle of
Timothy, ". . . godliness is profitable unto
all things."
No matter to what creed one adheres, it
is his duty to pitch hay for that creed
during this week, and, thereby, salute his
God.
Class-Cutting Should Be Our Responsibility
An eight o'clock class and the baby's
sick. Papa cuts the class and helps care
for the baby. Within a week he is supposed
to give his instructor an excuse from the
dean, unless the instructor interprets lib­erally
the rule on no unexcued absences.
No two instructors agree on how many
cuts are too many, partly because of the
inconsistency of the rule itself.
The rule states that all students are ex­pected
to attend class regularly. It also
states that if a student shall show irregu­larity
in attendance the instructor shall

Or maybe a coed wants to get a mani­cure
before going to a rush party. Fancy
telling that to a dean!
Tending the baby and getting a mani­cure
are both important to those con­cerned.
The responsibility of deciding
whether to cut should be theirs.
Most students know they need to at­tend
classes most of the time. A fe,w rea­lize
they can attend irregularly and still
make good grades. Nearly all believe they
can afford several cuts without flunking.
Those who can't are not college material
—unless they are sensible enough to avoid
cutting.
Adhering strictly to the present system
works hardships on both faculty and stu­dents.
It is presumed that instructors pre­fer
students who attend classes voluntari­ly,
because they consider lectures import­ant.
There are enough such students to
overrun API halls, and we have no objec­tion
to letting students who have no self-discipline
flunk out and make room for
good ones.
We recommend that a free cut system
be initiated soon.
This and That

band's way to the game.
The band works hard—every
afternoon of the week—and they
certainly deserve some reward
for this work. The very least they
could be -given is a trip to all
the football games. But as long as
the Ole Timer can remember we
have been taking up a collection
to send the band to Knoxville or
to New Orleans or some other
place. Let us hope that such steps
never need be taken again.

The Ole Timer has another com­plaint
along this line. Frequent­ly
classes are not dismissed un­til
the moment the bell rings, or
even a minute or so after that.
Then when the exiting class
opens the door they find the in­coming
class crowding around it
and trying to push their way into
the room before the others leave.
So we would like to suggest that
the incoming class stand back
from the door until all the stu­dents
in the room have gone out.
Then a lot of the existing conges­tion
and confusion will be avoid­ed.

With all due respect to the
judges of the Homecoming deco­rations,
the Ole Timer must dis­agree
with them sharply. Grant­ed

On The Side With Lenny Payne
Federal government sources estimate
that the state appropriations for the aca­demic
year 1946-47 will exceed the prewar
peak and general expenses may run more
than 250 million dollars for American Uni­versities
and colleges.—ACP.
Recently circumstances forced
me into taking a trip into that
undeveloped, almost unexplored,
region of the United States
known as New England. Having
made the trip and having lived
through it, I feel that it is only
fair that I report some of my ob­servations
about the natives of
this region and of their institu­tions.
It is only when we see how
the rest of the world fares that
we can appreciate our own exist­ence.
One of my forays into the
wilder regions of the Connecticut
River Valley at a place known as
South Hadley gave me the op­portunity
of coming in contact
with their primitive methods of
education. This place is under
constant danger of raids from
such places as Williams, Amherst,
Dartmouth, Harvard, and the
school located there, if it can be
called such, is known as Mt.
Holyoke College (named for its
proximity to a mountain of the
same name).
The most notable feature of the
life of a student at this school is
her social life, which may veri­tably
be said to be in the "Dark
Ages". These innocent, unpro­tected,
young girls, young women
as they are called there, instead
of being treated as the children
they undoubtedly are, are re­garded
as full grown responsible
members of society. These poor,
unendowed, semi-savage - crea­tures
have no shackles upon their
movements whatsoever except
that they have to be in their
dormitories at some ungodly hour
in- the middle of the night. They
may go where and how they
please with whom they choose.
Are not our coeds fortunate to go
to such a school .as Alabama
Polytechnic?
Our coeds are sheltered, di­rected,
and dictated to just as any
child should be. We can certainly
puff out our chests and be proud
of our collection of social rules,
and the coeds may surely send
up prayers of thankfulness for
the protection afforded them.
Few girls are lucky enough to
have such shortsighted direction
of their social life.

Smiles and Great Men

The spirit of the student committee took up collection to
send the band to New Orleans is to be commended, as is the
spirit of those students who contributed to the drive. How­ever,
it is a bad situation when such steps have to be taken
to get the band to the game. It is hard to believe that with the
unprecedented enrollment and _
decorations, we fail to see how
the ATOs, PiKAs and Theta Chis
could have been left out of the
first three places. We have been
viewing Homecoming decorations
for about seven years and don't
think that we have ever seen any
better than the ATOs and PiKAs
this time.
We suppose that it is not too
late for a baseball story and this
is one of the best we have ever
heard. It happened during a
Macon-Columbus Sally League
game. With one out and a Macon
runner on first the next batter
struck out. The Columbus catch­er,
thinking it was the third out,
handed the ball to the plate um­pire,
who also thinking it was the
third out, accepted the ball.
Then hell broke loose. The run­ner
on first started for second,
the catcher grabbed the ball, out
of the surprised umpires hand to
throw to the keystone sack but
was just a minute too late. The
Macon runner was permitted to
stay on second and a few minutes
later scored.
The official scorer gave an er­ror
to the catcher for handing the
ball to the umpire. We sorta be­lieve
a footnote should have been
added to the box score charging
the umpire with an error for ac­cepting
the ball.

WE BEEN ABUSED
By Charles A. Wairon
This column has been created
as an outlet for the complaints
and objections of the API student.
If you have any pet peeves of
any description, please w r i te
down the facts and figures of said
complaint and send them to this
column. At the first opportunity
possible we shall endeavor to put
forth to the entire student body
exactly the conditions existing
and strive to promote action
against each breach of liberty and
freedom.
In order that you might be
familiar with the author of this
article and better understand the
treatment of each issue, we have
prepared a brief character sketch
of student Walton.
"I believe," said Walton during
the interview for this article,
"that some of the most important
changes in my life came in my
first and second years." At this
spontaneous f l a s h of wit he
chuckled slyly and with no little
degree of pride. We smiled po­litely
and continued the inter­view
as best we could.
"What are your qualifications
for writing an article such as the
'We Been Abused' column, Wal­ton?"
I queried.
"I got 'em," he said, "lots of
'em."
"Would you mind giving us
just a few of them?"
"Certainly," he answered, toss­ing
another beer bottle into the
fireplace. "Incidentally," he ex­plained,
"I don't drink beer. It's
just that all good writers always
go around tossing whiskey glasses
into i open fireplaces. I got no
whiskey glasses, but I got friends
what drink beer and what bring
the empty bottles around for me
to toss into my open fireplace. It-builds
self-assurance."
Greatly pleased with his expla­nation,
he leaned back in his
chair to a full thirty degree in­cline
and began:
"Born just a few years before
Roosevelt first went into office I
know what it means to fight a
losing battle. My family was the
only Republican representative in
the county and the four adjacent
counties had similar ratios. In an
effort to defeat the Democratic
candidates in '44, a distant rela­tive
who was employed with the
Bureau of Printing and Engrav­ing
substituted in the place of
Washington's picture on the dol­lar
bill a plate bearing a por­trait
of the Republican candi­dates
signing the Declaration of
Independence.
"Needless to say, he was dis­missed
without notice. He now
holds a prominent position with
the Atribrine County Publicity
Committee of The Goodwill So­ciety
of Associated Engravers
and Printers. A more-or-less
secret organization, the GSAEP
turns out more money now than
the combined San Francisco and
Philadelphia Mints.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have men­tioned
that part," he frowned, "I
understand that such practices
are not looked upon so favorably
in some circles."
"But what about your personal
qualifications?" I asked.
"Oh, those! Well, I got 'em,"
he said leaning around me and
tossing another beer bottle into
the open fireplace with marked
self-assuranpe. "A naftural-born
leader, I was always the head of
everything the kids on my block
undertook to do. When we formed
our sand lot baseball club, I was
head of that. When we began our
Boy Scout troop, I was head of
one of the patrols. When we got
older and established a bowling
league from kids on my block, I
was head of that. Eventually I
became affectionately known as
'Blockhead' Walton."
In the distance I heard the
clock in Samford Hall mark four
p.m. With a few hasty remarks
of praise and gratitude for a most
obliging interview, I hustled off
to my psycho class for diagnosis
and further consideration.
"Bye-bye. Buy Bonds," he mur­mured
smilingly, snatching the
front of his shirt open and ex­posing
a red, white and blue
undershirt.
I saluted with the snap of a
Parris Island recruit and closed
the door behind me.
The crash of another beer bot­tle
in his open fireplace punctu­ated
the interview. More self-assurance.

THEY DIDN'T BUST, BUT TWO TIRES
DID, ON LONG JAUNT TO MEXICO CITY
By Jimmy Coleman
Eugene's brother didn't think they would make it. In
fact, very few of the boys who lived around at Mrs. More-man's
on Glenn Street thought they would make it, either.
But—they dood it!
What we're talking about is t h e t r io that thought up the
collossal idea of motoring to Mex­ico
City between quarters in a
battered 1931 Model A Ford.
They not only dood it—but
they dood it in four days, which
is good going for a 16 year-old
jalopy on a continuous grind of
2000 miles of hills and curves,
900 of it in partly mountainous
Mexico. And you can multiply
those Ifigures by two, because
they came back via the same
route—only in three days. This
they accomplished by driving two
nights.
The Plainsman
Dear Sirs:
If you remember, last sum­mer
you printed a picture of
four boys that were going to
Mexico City in a Model A. As
I went there myself this sum­mer,
I would like to know if
they got there and back in
that Model A. I don't know the
boys, so please find out for me
and put it in The Plainsman.
How about it?

The Big Three
According to The Plainsman
story of July 24, the three stu­dents
were tagged "the inter­national
trio" because of their
nationalities. They are Billy Fa­vors,
16 year-old freshman from
Birmingham, owner I of the car;
Francisco Paille, South American
f r o m Bucaramanga, Colombia,
mechanical engineering fresh­man;
and Eugene Wagner, junior
in textile engineering from Mexi­co
City.
Their destination was the home
of Wagner's parents in the Mexi­can
capital. Elton Wesley, friend
of Favors f r o m Birmingham
where they studied high school
Spanish at Woodlawn, almost
backed out of making the August
trip but at the last minute board­ed
"ole Bessie" for the long trek.

Cooking handsets
with Radio Waves
After V-J Day, the demand for tele­phone
equipment was at an all-time
high. Total requirements for telephone
handset handles, for example, were
33 percent above the highest previous
production rate. New molding presses
would not be available for many
months. It was up to Western Electric
engineers to find a way to make these
important parts twice as fast as they
had ever been made before. So they
called on wartime experience with
electronic pre-heating of plastics —
cooking with radio waves.
The method formerly used to pro­duce
the handles was to mold granu­lar
plastic into solid handles with
conductor wires imbedded in them.
In the new method, granular plastic
is first molded into a "pre-form",
about the size and shape of a hockey
puck. These forms are then "cooked"
or heated to the consistency of butter
by subjecting them to high frequency
current—then placed in molds for final
shaping. The new handles have hol­low
cores through which the insulated
conductors are pulled.
This method doubles the output of
handles, increases strength due to
more uniform heating, improves fin­ish,
reduces amount of material used.
Coaxial Cable
by the mile
To meet future needs for long distance
telephone and television circuits, the
Bell System is constructing a nation­wide
network of coaxial cable. Ingen­ious
machines designed by Western
Electric engineers are now turning
out coaxials like spaghetti.
A coaxial unit consists of a copper
wire supported centrally in a copper
tube by plastic disc insulators. The
copper sheath is covered by two lay­ers
of steel tape.
One machine punches out the plas­tic
discs. A second machine feeds the
discs through chutes onto wheels
which force them onto the wire at pre­cise
intervals. The.wire then travels
through mechanisms which notch and
form the copper tape around it and
finally apply the double wrapping of
steel tape.
All these processes are carried on
continuously. Copper wire goes in one
end of the machine—complete coaxial
units come out the other end.
A cable like this, with eight coaxial units,
can carry as many as H-fO-telephone mes­sages
simultaneously'—can handle television
frequencies up to 2,800, OUOcyclesper second.
It takes 17,000,000
insulated pieces
to make one part
It sounds fantastic — but it's one of
the unusual feats accomplished by
Western Electric engineers in pro­ducing
compressed powdered cores
for inductance coils used in the Bell
Telephone System.
Thin "overcoats" of an insulating
material are put on every •particle of
the molybdenum-permalloy powder
of which the cores are made. The par­ticles—
averaging about 40 microns or
1 Vi thousandths of an inch in diam­eter—
are coated with a minimum
thickness of insulating material by
precisely controlled mixing.
The resulting film has to meet three
major requirements: It must not
break away during compression and
heat treatment of the core; it must
isolate the particles electrically to
reduce eddy current loss; it must re­main
chemically inert throughout'the
lifetime of the magnetic core.
Developing quantity manufactur­ing
processes calling for scientifically
controlled laboratory precision, is
an interesting part of the complex,
high quality production job for which
Western Electric has long been noted.
Manufacturing telephone and radio apparatus for the Bell System is Western Electric's primary job. It calls
for engineers of many hinds — electrical, mechanical, industrial, chemical, metallurgical — who devise
and improve machines and processes for large scale production of highest quality communications equipment.

String Along With Lumpkin For A
Dissolution of Dating Difficulties
•w H
C-JY,
By Taylor Lumpkin
If you stop to think about the
educational system of America,
you probably will come to the
conclusion that this article will
be boring as hell, and if you
stick around for a while you will
find out just that.
Of the tnousands of college
students in America today, slight­ly
more than one-third of them
are girls, and practically one-third
of the boys are married.
Alabama has about 16,300 stu­dents
enrolled in college, of that
number more than 6,300 of them
are seeking their higher educa­tion
at Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
Auburn, Ala., and for
some darned reason there are
about five times as many boys as
girls here. Deducting for married
and pinned hopefuls there re­mains
about four times as many
boys here as girls. Which means
that • every available female has
four men on the string.
i—> In the illus-
'C~' 3 . tration t h e re
JT_ ~l~~^ are only three
men or reason­able
facsimilies
thereof, on her
string but if
y o u examine
the p i c t u re
m o r e closely
you can see one
string dangling.
Obviously one
of the poor
\y guys got fed up
Vp and went home.
fif You c a n 't
Jj I much b l a me
11 him for it
though because the females here
have things pretty well under
control and get away with it.
Along about this time someone
usually gets insulted, but due to
the fact that fish ponds have de­creased
considerably, there will
be no insulting today.
There are only two things that
a fellow can do to remedy the
situation, and neither of them
work. The first thing he can do
is forget them all, and start read­ing
textbooks in his spare time.
When he finishes with that he
will know the meaning of words
like aphrodisiac, preponderate,
brevirostal, and probably know
how to get the anti-log of 1.9155
plus 4,6032 plus something else,
but becoming very anti-social.
That's about all he will know
though.
The reason this plan won't
work in the once brilliant stu­dent
will crack up, doing noth­ing
more than eating ice cream
and being good in general. This
brings on the second thing that
one may do to remedy the situa­tion.
That is, be true to the girl
at home. This won't work either
because it hasn't been satisfac­tory
for the last three quarters.
The only logical thing left to
do is set up some system in which
those eligible might be able to
get a fair share of dates. This
however brings on the question
of what constitutes a fair share
of dates. What may be a reason­able
share for one may be too
much or too less for another.
The practical system would be
to set up a simple rationing
system in which each of the 5100
boys here could be allotted one
date each week, each girl then
would have two nights off per
week to rest and train for the re­maining
five. These off nights
could be staggered so the girls
would get the proper amount of
training.
This wouldn't work so simple
for the boys because they would
have six nights off to prepare for
one helluva seventh. Under this
strain the girls wouldn't last long
and soon begin dropping out like
flies before a DDT gun, all dis­appearing
until there was one
superwoman or Lena the Hyena
left. She would meet all opposi­tion
until the boys begin to dis­appear
one by one.
As the boys decrease, the girls
who were out of the lineup due
to exhaustion would begin ap­pearing
again until a happy me­dium
was reached, w"here there
is exactly one girl for every boy.
According to the law of supply
and demand this ideal situation
would not last long because some
guy would come to and fowl up
the whole mess.
As the number of men or boys
increases they could form a union
with its main purpose to boycott
the girls. Then trfe rest of the
boys who were out would come
to and give the girls such a fit
that their physical and financial
condition would become exhaust­ed
to such an extent that they
would be out of the race for
good. By this time the union
could allot out a few dates just
to keep things going and increase
the number gradually, while
keeping the situation well under
control. If things ever got rough
they could call a big strike until
the girls started crying and beg­ging
for dates.
By using this system there
should be no more dating trouble,
and damn few dates. More time

TI6ERS DEFEAT BILLIKENS 27-7
Tidweil Thrills 12,000 Cold
Fans With Flashing Aerial Game
Before 12,000 shivering fans, The Auburn Tigers unleashed a
powerful running and passing attack to hand the scrapping St.
Louis Billikens a 27-7 setback. Bruce Inman, and Tidweil (Auburn's
potential All-American) sparked the attack that led to victory for
the Tigers.
THE OTHER ARM
First Quarter
St. Louis won the toss and
chose to kick off to Auburn. The
first half of the quarter was a
punting duel with St. Louis hold­ing
a decided edge. St. Louis
made their strongest bid when
Sortal recovered Inman's fumble
on Auburn's 27. Donahue and
Dolan teamed up for the Billi­kens
to buck the ball down to
Auburn's 7 as the quarter ended.
Second Quarter
With fourth down coming up
and still four to go, Dolan at­tempted
a field goal on the first
play. The kick was low and Au­burn
took over on the 20. Vason
surprised the Billikens with a 70
yard punt to get the Tigers out of

Billikens started another drive up
the field but the drive fizzed out
when Inman recovered Albert's
fumble on the Billiken's 40. In­man
and Tidweil pooled their tal­ents
to march down-field to the
7 where Inman made it a first
down on the 4. Tidweil faded
back and fired a bullet pass to
McClurkin to chalk up the Tigers
first TD. Fulmer's attempt was no
good. Auburn 6 St. Louis 0.
The Tigers started their second
drive when a St. Louis kick rolled
dead on their 49. Tidweil com­pleted
two short passes to Ko-vacic

Third Quarter
Auburn took over shortly after
the quarter opened and marched
down to the St. Louis 10. Three
Billiken players swarmed in on
Tidweil when he attempted to
pass, but he managed to break
away and leap high into the air
to fire a pass to Faulk in the
endzone. Fulmer's kick was good.
Auburn 20 St. Louis 7. During
the rest of the quarter the Tigers
kept the Billikens completely un­der

The Billikens lone tally came

Potential All-American and sure to be an Auburn grid im­mortal,
Travis Tidweil starred again last Saturday against the
St. Louis Billikens. His performance before the Homecoming
football fans started the talk about his becoming an All-Ameri­can
choice. He promises to be a threat to Tulane Saturday.
Picking The Bones
By Bill Dearman
Tidweil, • Auburn's potential
All-American, is a man of great
ability. Besides being a ball of
fire on the gridiron, he just natur­ally
collects nicknames. His latest
is "The Other Arm" by the Bir­mingham
News.
"Bull" Inman constantly lug-pass
and the game ended with
Auburn in possession of the ball
on their own 47.

Fred Carley, Auburn's ace
thinclad, has received an invita­tion
to run in the Sugar Bowl
Track Meet, which is to be a part
of the Sugar Bowl Festivities. The
meet is to be held Dec. 29, the
Sunday before the Sugar Bowl
game.
All of his expenses will be
paid by the Sugar Bowl Commit­tee,
and he will be their guest for
the game.
Carley was chosen because of
his outstanding record last year.
He was undefeated in his spec­ialties,
the mile and half mile,
until he ran in the National Col­legiate
track meet, where he ran
against the best in the nation and
placed sixth in the mile.
Also running in the Sugar

DUNCAN'S BIRTHDAY
(Continued from page 1)
the 40,000 Auburn graduates. The
Alumni Association has been
greatly strengthened through Dr.
Duncan's efforts and Mr. Boyd
voiced their appreciation. He said
they were an Army of defense
and of offense for a still greater
Auburn.
Anyone who has been at Au
burn for any length of time can
wholeheartedly agree with these
speakers that we have a great
man as president. The laurels he
received were modest for hi
deserts. I am sure every student
joined in with the best wishes
and many happy returns given
him.
Dr. Duncan said he was three
years younger than the organized
institution, API. Figure it out for
yourself.
About this time the second sur­prise
came. A huge three-tiered
birthday cake was lugged on
stage by three campus cuties
who presented the, cake to Dr
Duncan. Accompanying the cake
were four grinning chefs in white
baker's hats. The chefs, Jack,
Toby, Bozo, and Brunson, baked
the cake in the women's dining
hall under supervision of Mrs.
Jean Thigpen, dietitian. Theirs
was an eatable looking gift in
white, pink and green decora­tions,
candles and all—too many
to count. -^

THE TOAST OF THE TOWN"
CALL FOR IT BY NAME
AT YOUR GROCERY
(Editor's note: President Har­ry
Truman's speech is to be
made after this article goes to
press. This was written in view
of the situation as it was Mon­day
morning.)
Perhaps the two most vital
topics of the day which concern
all of us are the increasing prices
of goods and the continuing dam­aging
strikes. We need not be
economists to realize that our pay
checks are diminishing in pur­chasing
power. The statistician
bores us with a great number of
figures, grafts and maps proving
to us that living costs have risen.
For the most part, we can not
understand their statistics.
But what we do understand is
the practically empty .market bas­ket
and the empty pocket book
which we bring home after a
shopping trip. "In this land of
plenty," Iwe find a scarcity of
soap, sugar, meat and other prod­ucts.
Clothing has increased to
such an extent that patched gar­ments
now are the fashion in­stead
of a source of embarrass­ment.
Furniture, when available
is so expensive that one almost
as soon would sit Indian fashion
on the floor than try and furnish
him home.
The American people need not
be told of the inflation in other
countries of the world. Here in
the United States the danger of
economic collapse is increasing
every day.
Who is to blame? Some say the
government with all of its red
tape and OPA is to blame. Others
claim that manufacturers are
impeding production of consumer
goods. Still a third group blames
labor for striking and asking for
higher wages thus retarding mass
production. Charges and counter­charges
continue and with them
the cost of living still soars.
The F.B.I, recently investigated
the meat shortage to see whether
or not companies or groups w'ere
criminally responsible for with­holding
meat. The report handed
to the Chief Executive stated that
there was no such conspiracy in
evidence. The report continued,
stating that the cattle were being
withheld from the market await­ing
higher prices on meat.
A few days ago cotton futures
began to soar to around 39 cents
a pound. An indication that high­er
prices might be forthcoming
on cotton goods. Labor in most of
its recent strikes demanded high
er wages to counter the higher
cost of living. Where will this
spiral end? As a tornado which
brings its dramatic destruction of
lives and property, so the infla­tion
spiral can only bring to the
people of this country misery, un­employment
a n d an internal
threat to our way of democratic
government.
Already tlh e economists • in
Washington are predicting a pos­sible
depression in 1947 with un­employment
reaching over the
3,000,000 mark. If this is already
feared, then why the continued
spiral inflation? Are we headed
for the same great depression as
we had prior to this war? What
is the answer to this problem?
Some labor leaders contend
that prices must be held in check
by the government. For only
through checked prices can labor
buy their goods that are needed
for subsistence and pleasure.
Wages are not included in that
bracket with prices. Labor lead­ers
take issue with the govern­ment
when wages are restrained.
Many seem to overlook the fact
that higher wages bring about
increased ' manufacturing costs
which are passed on to the con­sumer
thus creating higher prices
for needed goods.
Management c o nt e nld s that
there should be no regulation by
government. Abolish the OPA.
They believe that this would en­courage
full production in con­sumer
goods and these goods
would soon answer the demand
of the consumer. With this de­mand
fulfilled, prices would level
off and inflation dangers would
be past. Of course they point out
that this program could not be
carried out without the full co­operation
of labor. Meaning of
course, labor would not strike
and impede full production.
These people readily admit that
for a time we would have high­er
prices. But they point out that
this condition would last only so
long as demands for goods far
exceeded the supply. Under this
program, what would happen to
the family on a fixed income or
to the G.I. who is trying to get
an education supporting himself
or his family on $65 to $90 a
month? Could they ride out the
period of higher prices?
The government contends that
it needs powers of regulation for
_^ 'prices and wages until such time
as the inflation danger has past.
Of course this type of program
tends to make our government
more bureaucratic than it has
ever been in our peace time his­tory.
The danger of governmental
regulation is that it might con­tinue
for an indefinite period of
time. This would mean that more
and more of .our daily routine and
habits would come under the con­trol
of a central government. Too
much power of government in
the wrong hands could easily
change our way of life.
The solution to this great prob­lem
seems as remote today as it
was several years ago. Certainly
petty politics which so many are
playing is no answer to the prob­lem
of inflation. 'Selfishness and
greed, violence and intolerance
will not help to bring about a
solution. The time for talk and
inactivity has passed. Today is
the time for action. Not action by
the few but cooperation by all.
Common sense, unselfishness
and team work are the "Big
Three" which must be called into
play if we are to survive this cri­sis
as a United States of America.
