County Groups
Discuss Crisis
Reports Indicate
Student Interest
Students representing Ala­bama's
67 counties met at various
places on the campus Monday ,at
1 p.m. to discuss methods de­signed
to alleviate Auburn's edu­cational
crisis. The meetings
were the result of a request by
the Student Executive Cabinet,
and students were excused from
one o'clock classes.
The Cabinet appointed chair­men
of each county group to help
formulate plans for the best
method of approach to the prob­lem.
Reports coming from the
various chairman of the groups
indicated that the meetings were
met with enthusiastic response
and that some county groups had
as many as 95 per cent of the
students write letters while at the
meeting place.
The general approach to the
problem seems to have been
through three mediums: (1) let­ters
to parents (2) letters to edi­tors
of hometown newspapers
(3) letters to legislators.

Auburn Selected For
Carnegie Tests
Auburn has recently been se­lected
as one of the 18 colleges
of the nation to take part in a
testing program sponsored by the
Carnegie Foundation of New
York.
The testing program will be
principally an inquiry into the
scholastic standards of the vet­eran
and non-veterans who have
entered college since the war.
Groups of students who entered
Auburn in the fall of '45 and the
fall of '46 will be sent blind
questionnaires on how they spend
their time. Subsequently certain
groups will be given achievement
tests. Results will be used solely
to determine group averages of
veterans and non-veterans, men
and women.
Other colleges selected to par­ticipate
in this testing program
include the University of Chica­go,
University of Pittsburgh,
Vanderbilt University, Universi­ty
of Cincinnati* and Leland
Stanford University.
Mr. Dryden Baughman, assist­ant
to Dean Poor of the Graduate
School, has recently been ap­pointed
director of a testing pro­gram
to be carried on at Auburn
under the sponsorship of the
Carnegie Foundation of New
York.

before sales for the summer
quarter are begun. Veterans are

supplies as they are
needed, to complete this quar­terns
courses prior to May 17.

ALPHA PSI HOUSE
DAMAGED BY FIRE]
Fire Department .
Lauded by Hughes
A fire which broke out in the
Alpha Psi house Saturday morn­ing,
believed to have been caused
by defective wiring, caused ap­proximately
$2,000 damage to
the main living room and one
bedroom of the two-story struc­ture.
The Auburn Fire Department,
notified' by phone at 5:20 a.m.,
had hoses and other equipment
in the house seven minutes later.
According to George Hughes, Al­pha
Psi chapter president, the
fire destroyed all personal be­longings
in the room of Loyce
Turner and Watson Matthews.
"Everything was done in a
systematic manner and a mini­mum
of confusion," Hughes said.
"Turner was not there but Mat­thews,
his roommate, should be
commended for his unselfish re­action
in fighting the fire rather
than trying to save his personal
belongings."
Work was begun immediately
by a contractor to repair the dam­age.
The houseparty, scheduled
for this weekend, will be held as
planned.
Starr Prolsdorfer (left) is editor, and Byrd Lee, is business
manager of the 1947 Glomerata which will be distributed to
students beginning tomorrow.

Mass Distribution Begins Monday;
'Whether Or Not You Pay' Rules
Are Listed By Business Manager
By The Editor
Remember the signs posted around last summer such as
"Get Your Pictures Taken Today—So Glomerata Will Come
Out in May?" Well—the Glomerata will meet its deadline
tomorrow when seniors will file into the shabby little office
near Student Center for their copies.
Only a partial shipment has arrived for distribution. By
next week the shipments, which
totals around 18 tons, will be
completed.
Seniors Served First
Seniors will have priority for
the first issues, then juniors, on
down to the lowly rats. Full-scale
distribution is expected to
start Monday. Copies will go on
sale May 22.
Eligibility Rules
Students who have attended
Auburn three out of the past four
quarters, beginning the summer
of 1946 and including the present
quarter, a^e entitled to a Glom­erata
without further charge. (It
is paid for by student activity
fee). ^
Students who have been here
for two of the past four quarters
will pay $1.40; those who have
been here one of the past four
quarters pay twice that amount.
Extra copies, if available, may be
purchased for $4.50.
More About It
At a cost of approximately
$37,000 the '47 Glomerata is the
largest ever printed, although it
doesn't look any bigger. Reason
is that a lighter weight paper is
used in all sections except one.
Total number of pages is 448.
Its class sections contain a
higher percentage of student pic­tures
than any other yearbook of
comparable size in the nation,
according to an official of Ala­bama
Engraving Co., Birming­ham.
Staff Tired
In order for the 1947 Glome­rata
to meet its deadline, Editor
Starr Prolsdorfer and Business
Manager Byrd Lee, along with
staff members, worked long and
hard.
"That poor boy has just about
worked his head off," Lee said
in reference, to Prolsdorfer. "He
had only one day at home with
his family dining Christmas be?
cause of work to be done on the
Glomerata—besides, he stayed up
all night reading proof copy sev­eral
nights ago."
From the looks of the business
section it appears that Lee de­serves
a big heaping of credit,
too.'
Influence Printer
Although G l o m e r a t a staff
members of the past have found •
it difficult to meet the May dead­line,
this year's editor and busi­ness
manager worked from a new
angle. In addition to hard work,
they impressed the printer. In
fact, Joe B. Ledbetter, an offi­cial
of Benson Printing Co.,
Nashville, who was editor of the
1934 Glomerata, promised to send
a partial shipment of- the year­book
to Auburn by May 15 if he
had to resort to "air express."
New Regime
' Groundwork for t h e 1948
Glomerata is now being laid by
John Shaffer, new editor, and
Bugs Minis, business manager.
Both were staff members under
Prolsdorfer and Lee.
The orchestra will present
"Tango in D" by Albeniz; "Echos
from the Volga" by Seredy; and
"American Folk Overture" by J.
Hubert Liverman.

The performance will be given
on the lawn of the Girls' Quad­rangle
from 5-6 p.m. next Tues­day.

will be given at the same time
Wednesday. f

Beauty Contest Winners to Be Selected on Home Ec Holiday

Latest Thing in Curvaceous Apparel
To Be Modeled by Lovely Auburn Coeds
By Luther Smith
Twenty-five lovely Auburn coeds will model the latest
in modernistic all-cotton dresses come Home Economics
Holiday Friday. Draped over curvaceous bodies will be cos­tumes
furnished by Loveman's anG Burger-Phillips of Birm­ingham
and Kirvens of Columbus. But hold on! The best is
coming up: from five finalists in Auburn's Beauty Contest
judges will select Auburn's repre­sentative
to the Maid of Cotton
contest in Memphis next Janu­ary.
The five finalists in the con­test,
four of whom are shown
on this page, are Emily Cam-mack
of Selma, Betty Jo Dobbs
of Birmingham (Shown on page
two), Mildred Lippitt of Au­burn,
Jean Murphy of Mont­gomery,
and Emily Pruitt of
Anderson, S. C.
"The decision will be so hard
to reach," say the judges, "that
two winners must be announced
on the 16th of May."
The judges are anticipating a
lot of pop-bottle slinging, and
have borrowed catcher's masks
from the Auburn baseball team.
Not wishing to disclose their
names, they i n s t r u c t e d The
Plainsmen to u n c o v e r their
identity via foul means. However,
after much bribing, The Plains­man
discovered the judges' names
in a clean way. They are: Harry
Lowe, Marino-Merlo, and Maltby
Sykes, all of the Auburn Art De­partment;
Marion Hyatt of Sta­tion
. WJHO; .Neil Davis, ..Lee
County Bulletin Editor; and John
Newton Baker, Director of the
News Bureau.
Besides the five luscious final­ists
in the Fashion Show, there
will be included a bevy of other
models. Pleasing the eyes of Au­burn
wolves will be Betty Butler,

"The Teacher Crisis"
1
4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 14, 1947
'By The People, For The People'
The Student Executive Cabinet dis­tributed
an appeal for help from Ala­bama's
electorate in the form of a mimeo­graphed
pamphlet last Thursday. The
pamphlet was directed at the people of
Alabama, and asked their help in a crisis
in which Auburn's future is at stake. In a
crisis which effects eve^ Auburn student,
and in one which holds the interest of
every student, the Executive Cabinet
handled a delicate situation adroitly. For
who is to say what the legislature must do
unless it is the people? Election day is the
legislator's judgement day; it is the day
of reckoning with his constituency.
If the people desire that their sons and-daughters
have the same opportunities in
Alabama as the college students of other
states, then it shall be. If the people desire
progress, if they don't want Alabama's
posterity to suffer, if they don't want their
children to be penalized simply because
they were born in Alabama, then it is
they, the people, who shall have the final
say.
In the pamphlet, the Cabinet stated,
"Auburn is faced with a critical financial
problem. Our request for a minimum op­erational
budget of $2,275,000, as requested
by the Interim Committee on Education,
has been sliced to $1,000,000 by the Fi­nance
and Taxation Committee."
The pamphlet urged students to "con­tact,
either personally or through the mail,
any person who can be of help . . . im­mediate
action on their part is of the ut­most
importance."
Take part in your government—write
letters where they will do the most good.
Auburn's future depends on your actions
now.
Five Years for Snglne#rs?
Entirely too much stress it. being given
to "bread and butter" courses by Ameri­can
college students. Americans are known
the world over for their ingenuity and for
.building "bigger and better" things.
Americans have also learned that in our
20th Century civilization that a man must
know how to do one particular thing and
do it well. It is unfortunate that this is
true; our society does not offer the ticket
without receiving the fare.
In one of the surveys conducted by a
national research foundation, it was found
that an alarming number of American
college graduates in specialized fields did
not know information which is in the
curriculum of fifth and sixth graders.
Many leading American educators have
arrived at the conclusion that students
. in specialized fields are not receiving an
education at all; they are merely being
"trained" to fill a very narrow niche in
our society.
George Bernard Shaw said that if the
present trend in American education con­tinues,
the U.S. will be composed entire­ly
of semi-illiterate skilled mechanics.
Educators have seen food for thought in
his statement.
Charles E. MacQuigg, dean of the col­lege
of engineering at Ohio State Univer­sity,
speaking of the five-year course in
engineering at his school recently said,
"The first year of operation has seen Ohio
State's five-year engineering curricula
even more enthusiastically received than
had been anticipated." All new engineer­ing
students must now take the five-year
program.
"In five years," the dean says, "students
have the opportunity to build a stronger
foundation of engineering fundamentals
and their maturity will make for more
efficient study of the technical applica-„
tions in the later years. The greatest gain,
however, will come in the number of
broadening courses which are intended to
give engineering students a better under­standing
of the social, economic, and po­litical
forces at work in our society."
Under the new plan, superior students
may follow a specially designed series of
courses in the fourth and fifth years and
attain a master's as well as a bachelor's
degree. Other 'students will receive the
bachelor's degree only, but they will have
had a humanistic training not possible in
four years, according to MacQuigg.
Five-year curricula have replaced the
four-year in 11 degree granting depart­ments
of the engineering college. Archi­tecture
has require five years since 1929.
Freedom of Press in Danger?
In the last issue of the Nieman reports
there is a report of the Commission on
Freedom of the Press entitled "Free and
Responsible Press."
To the question "Is ,the freedom of the
press in danger?" the answer is Yes. The
three reasons given are:
"1. As the importance of communica­tion
has increased, its control has come
into fewer hands."
"2. The few in control have failed to
meet the needs of the people."
"3. Press practices at time have been so
irresponsible that if continued, society is
bound to take control for its own protec­tion."
"Accountable service as pure food, pub­lic
health and fair trade practices."
The remedy suggested by the Commis­sion
is greater responsibility to the press
itself. An arroused people should force
the press to accept that responsibility.
The press has too often sought out the
"sensational rather than the significant."
The .failure of the press itself is' the
greatest threat to its freedom. The report
does not find the cure, but its alerts the
public and the publishers to the public
dangers.
Army Made Radar Selective
, Radar at first was used only for the sky
and on the sea, for on land it reflected all
objects—trees, stones, houses and hills,
as well as moving objects. During the war
the Army experts of the Signal Corps
perfected the "Doppler Effect" which pro­vided
minute measurements of the
"bounce" of radar impulses and thus re­vealed
the direction, distance, and speed
of moving objects.
Strange Politicking
Do the present members of Congress
want to succeed themselves in 1948?
Well, they are certainly going about
launching their campaigns in a mighty
peculiar fashion. To wit: Forty percent of
the nation's GI's going to college and en­rolled
in on job training programs, failed
to receive their checks when May 1 rolled
around. The Veterans Administration an­nounced
that their funds had run out be­cause
Congress had not passed the neces­sary
appropriation bill.

One point might be brought
to the attention of the Student
Executive Cabinet and others in
control in the school. Matters
would be improved a lot if there
were a rule that organizations
using Langdon Hall could sell
only the number of tickets equal
to the number of seats in the
hall. It's fine to sell lots of tick­ets
and make lots of money but
that fire trap might burn up
some day and if the aisles and
doors are crowded as they were
for Skit Night it's, going to be
a mass slaughter.
* * *
From the-reaction of the audi­ence,
it appears that not too
many of those present knew the
legend about the lathe wheel
turning. Maybe some of us old
timers should take it on our­selves
to spread the legend and
tradtions of Auburn.
* * $
And here's a suggestion to the
City of Auburn: Why not use
some of the money you have
soaked away in the bank to
keep the streets in repair? Of
course, you may be anticipating
another war in the near future
and planning to use some of the
holes in the main thoroughfairs
as bomb shelters. But if that is
not your intention, how's about
breaking down and spending a
little of that two cent cigarette
tax to keep the streets passable.
If the students are going to sup­port
the city, they should be able
to expect a little service for their
money.
And along the motor traffic
line, w e might suggest that B&G
fill up a few of the holes in the
parking lots at the East end of
the New Building. One man with
a shovel and a little dirt could do
the job in a couple of hours.
How's about it?
* * *
Once upon a time there was
a voluntary drive at Auburn try­ing
to get all students to take a
Wasserman test. Everything was
going fine until the Plainsman
reported:
". . . latest totals of the tests
given, according to the college
doctor, are well over three hund­red.
Of this number, not one
negative specimen of blood has
been discovered."
This story prompted a former
student who was poetic after
the m a n n e r of Goldsmiths
"Sweet, Auburn; loveliest village
of the plain . . ." The concluding
lines of the poem were "Eight
hundred miles between was right
tough, I thought; but now 1 doubt
if it's enough!"
(There's no cause for worry,
though. This happened back in
1940.)

This little poem was on a scrap
of paper found in the New Build­ing.
Oh, the futility of it all!
No use living, all pain;
No use loving, all pain;
No use kissing, he'll tell;
No use nothing, aw hell.
Letters to the Editor
To Whom It May Concern:
Last week there was a letter
in The Plainsman concerning the
Auburn police which was writ­ten
and signed by seven Auburn
students, and ended with a de­mand
for an explanation- of the
act perpetrated by the Auburn
police. Judging from reported
actions of the Auburn police, we
prophesy that no suitable ex­planation
will be given by them
and sincerely doubt that any ex­planation
will be given at all.
As students at API and citizens
of the United States, we would
like to extend an invitation to
the police involved to print an
explanation in The A u b u rn
Plainsman in the same open man­ner
used by the students. If there
is no justifiable explanation
forthcoming we would like to ask
that every Auburn student per­sonally
demand an explanation as
it is our belief that a police de­partment
employing men capable
of the actions described in last
week's paper constitute a serious
threat to the safety of the stu­dent
body.

Dear Editor,
The letters written about Au­burn's
police were considered by
many students to be unfair, for
they told only one side of the
story.
Auburn's pqlice are readily
criticized, but seldom praised for
their elertness and the good
things that they do.
No police officers aee required
to recit the history of an arrest
they must make to a group of
people. Dependable witnesses
have stated that the man arrested
May 1, had' ruthlessly beaten his
wife, threatened and choked a
taxi driver; and when he was ar­rested
he attacked one of the
police officers from behind, he
was subdued, taken to jail, and
tried in the town where he was
wanted.
In The Plainsman last week,
one person said that the city
should build a colored school
house instead of a jail. We as­sure
him that if he will drive to
the colored section of town he
will see that there is a Negro
high school brick building that is
well above the average of any
Negro high school building in
Alabama.
Many student's families and
visitors have come here and did­n't
know where to find the per­sons
they were looking for, the
police officers would politely di­rect
them as to where the stu­dents
live, and help contact the
students in any way possible.
Many students have talked to
officers respectfully and decent­ly
about a parking ticket, or any
other minor incident, and had it
settled satisfactorily, but the Au-"
burn police are not going to let
half-tight people speed through
town at 75 miles an hour with­out
giving them a ticket for there
are women and children here to
be protected.

Auburn police faithfully check

Some of Auburn's police of­ficers
have been on the force over

Dear Editor,
I would like Co speak in behalf
of the Auburn Police Department
concerning what happened on
the night of May 1.
The letter which appeared in
The Plainsman cast a black
shadow on the Auburn police. I
don't believe the men who signed
it would have done so if they had
known the circumstances.
I witnessed some of the things
that happened before the incident
and I don't blame the police.
In my opinion, the "victim"
was a rough character. From what
I gathered, he had beaten his
wife, a taxi driver, and had struck
one of the policemen.
The Auburn Police Department
has been very cooperative with
Auburn students and they de­serve
a lot of credit.
Anyone who would like to
know the details preceding the
incident is invited to see me at
any time.
Sincerely,
Everett Harwell
To the Editor:
At 11:40 p. m., May 1, a crime
was committed in Auburn by
one or more men whose express
job is crime prevention. "~
We have in mind the letters
written to the editor in last
week's Plainsman. After reading
these letters, our feelings were
so strong on the matter that we
inquired personally into t he
charges without waiting for the
full and complete explanation
from the Police Department
which will, or should, appear in
this paper for all to see.
A few of the more important
points of the Police Department's
interpretation of the incident are
interesting. According to Chief
Hendry's account, the man in
question was drunk and misbe­having
at the Casino. He had
beaten his wife and strangled a
taxi driver (unknown). After be­ing
taken by the police, he at­tempted
to seize the gun of one
of -the officers. Parked outside
the. Police Department, the man
suddenly struck one of the of­ficers
in the head with his fist
and "almost knocked his eye off"1,
pushed him out of the car and
struck him only once with a
blackjack. The man was on his
feet when struck with the black­jack
and was not hit when he
was on the ground. The officer
was quoted as saying that he
"would do it again even if it cost
him his job, by golly." (He isn't
the only one who has thought of
that possibility.)
Since the police account is in­consistent
with the letter in The
Plainsman, one of us went to see
two of the seven witnesses whose
signed statement appeared in The
Plainsman, in hope of obtaining
more information. They stated
that within a few minutes after
witnessing the incident the seven
gathered in a closed room to put
down on paper what they had
seen before any of it became
confused in their minds. All sev­en
agreed to everything that was
written in their letter. They also
stated that they didn't see what
occurred in the car, b*trt that the
man was struck three times out­side
of the car, once with a rabbit
punch on the back of the neck
and twice with some object
which the police said was a
blackjack. They state unequivo­cally
that the man was struck at
least once with this object AFTER
he was on the ground.
If the man had tried to take
the policeman's gun, if he had
been beating his wife, if he had
tried to choke a taxi driver, why
wasn't he in handcuffs and why
wasn't the policeman more alert?
The signed letter says that the
policeman told them the fellow
had been taken to jail. What jail?
It is well known that the old dis­grace
has been torn down, and
the new $70,000 jail has not been
completed. The boys said they
called the Opelika police, and.
they were not holding anyone for
the Auburn police.
We were told by Chief Hendry
that it was a matter of taking the
word of the police or of the stu­dents.
We prefer the account as
given by the seven witnesses,
who happen to be students. We
prefer it because of the large
number and because, these wit­nesses
have absolutely no motive
for falsifying the facts. They
were described by the police
themselves as disinterested wit­nesses.
What better witness is
there than a non-partisan one?
On the other hand the police
have strong personal rnotives for
wishing to cover up this act of
barbarism.
If the police are guiltless of
this crime they have no reason
to object to an investigation. Do
they object?

Laney-Monroe
Miss Ray Monroe, daughter of
Mr. • and Mrs. W- P- Monroe of
Huntsville, became the bride of
William Frankley Laney, son of
Mr. and Mrs. John T. Laney, Co­lumbus,
Ga., May 1, in Anniston.
The bride's only attendant was
her sister, Miss Jean Monroe.
Mrs. Laney received her BS
degree from Auburn last quarter.
She was a member of KD, presi­dent
of Panhellenic Council, a
member of Cardinal Key.
The bridegroom g r a d u a t ed
from Auburn last year. At Au­burn
he was president of ATO,
managing editor of the Plains­man,
member of Executive Cabi­net,
Blue Key, and president,
IFC.
Time Will T&ll
It has been mentioned to me
several times that the repre­sentatives
elected by the people
have better judgement than the
governor, and if they see fit to
cut Auburn's appropriation .then
let them cut it. Actually they are
representative of the people, but
so is the governor. If the mem­bers
of the legislature are acting
as a majority and the majority
rules then we will run short on
money. But again they are not
necessarily right for the majority
may rule and could still be
wrong! Who will write the judg­ment?
We, the people of Ala­bama.
About the time you begin read­ing
this I will be shaking in my
boots up in Carolina.
There's a wedding at eleven.
I actually believe that my ol
cat has turned to drink. She
came in the other night with the
hiccoughs and was reeking with
the odor of a barroom. After a
talk with her I found that she
had been invited by a regal look­ing
old torn to have a beer.
"How about your little ones?"
I asked. "Little ones?" she said
looking amazed. "Oh curse them
. . . They have no father." I think
she is purposely avoiding matri­mony
so as to be able to pursue
the star of ambition. She thinks
that the tomcats have all the
fun. She thinks that she will
write a book and call it "My Days
and Nights", or "Just One Kit­ten
After The Other". Psst. "Who
will write the judgment?"

SAFETY MAN
CAN VOLUNTEER POLICE ENFORCE
THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND?
By Len Hensel
The City Appliance Company
was the first business house in
Auburn to comply with Presi­dent
Truman's request for a ten
per cent "cross the board" re­duction
in prices.
This was a very noble gesture
on the part of the City Appli­ance
Company. But, noble ges­tures
can only go so far, and
then red ink appears in the
books.
President Truman has put this
request on a volunteer stand­point
and al­though
the idea
was noble, it is
hard to believe
that the manu­facturers
in this
country would
c o m p l y with
that r e q u e s t.
Only an idealist
could hope for
the results the
president is ask-
Hensel ing.
Mr. Truman feels that the law
of supply and demand needs
enforcement by volunteer police­men.
Since he had the request

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO—Send us a crazy shot featuring Pepsi-
Cola, We'll select what we think are the three or four best "shots"
every montti. If yours is one of these, you get ten bucks. If it
isn't, you get a super-deluxe rejection slip for your files.
AND—if you just sort of happen to send in a Pepsi-bottlecap
with your "shot," you get twenty bucks instead cf ten, if we
think your "shot" is one of the best.

have dropped one-tenth of one

cooperation. That drop has
been in retail prices, and not
wholesale.
Newburyport is probably get­ting
its money's worth with their
scoop on the .country, and as a
gesture and a publicity stunt it
worked out fine. As a contribu­tion
toward reducing permanent­ly
the cost of living for its resi­dents
the experiment is ques­tionable..
The first results in Newbury­port
were of bargain basement
calibre. The stock that was on
the shelves at the outset of the
movement has sold like hot-cakes;
but what will happen
when the depleted stocks need
replenishing is another story.
The wholesalers are not comply­ing
with the plan so the retailers
will be forced to raise their
prices again. ,,
This writer interviewed a well-known
merchant in the town to
get his viewpoint of the situa­tion
and he is definitely opposed.
He explained that quite a bit of
this is like a clearance sale.

An astounding total of 27 errors in four games were suffi­cient

on Monday and Tuesday
with the potent Georgia Bulldogs
following suit on Wednesday and
Thursday. "Play Ball!" is sche­duled
to echo around the diamond
at 3 p.m. for all games.
SEC Standings:
found themselves on the short
end of a trio of vital circuit bat­tles
with Georgia (9-10) and Mis­sissippi
State (1-7 and 6-9).
The Tigers drew first blood in
each of three scuffles but field­ing
flaws soon spelled their
downfall. "S t a r c h " Knowles
banged out his third round-trip­per
of the season with the sacks
empty for Auburn's single mark­er
against State on Friday. Fire-baller
Willard Nixon relinquished
only five Maroons hits in being
charged with his second un­deserved
loss of the campaign.
Saturday's game was worse as
the Tigers jumped on Delta
Freshman Billy Johnson for three
runs in the first. However, John­son
strengthened as Onis Green

allowing the Staters then-second
straight win.

Explosives—an essential
industrial tool
rtDUSTRiAi, explosives are
as much of a yardstick
of industrial progress as sul­furic
acid. They are in­volved
in the fabrication of
nearly all the products used
by man. This year the
United States will use over
500 million pounds of in­dustrial
explosives.
The technical problems
that confront the explosives
industry are many and va­ried.
A measure of this is
the fact that the Du Pont
Company manufactures
about two hundred dyna­mite
formulations, each in­tended
to do a different job,
from the slow heaving ac­tion
of blasting coal to the
rapid, violent shattering
necessary for a hard ore.
Ranging between- these two extremes
are a large number of intermediate
grades, including explosives especially
formulated for agricultural work, seis­mic
prospecting for oil, submarine blast­ing—
right down to the tiny charge
used in an explosive rivet.
Studies in Laboratory and Field
One of the first industrial laboratories
for chemical research in the United
States, the Eastern laboratory of the
Du Pont Explosives Department has
nearly two hundred chemists, engineers,
physicists and assistants. There, meth­ods
have been developed for measuring
the power of explosives, the degree to
which they shatter or pulverize various
materials, their water resistance, their
safety characteristics when exposed to
shock or flame, the composition of the
gases they produce, etc. As a result of
studies of the influence of various fac7
tors on dynamite performance, it has
become possible to formulate an explo­sive
to meet practically any blasting
condition.
In keeping with these improvements,
the application of explosives has reached
a new level of efficiency. Technical serv­ice
men, usually mining engineers or

explosive charge into a chamber of methane or dusty air to test.sdfety under

civil engineers, aid consumers in the
selection and use of explosives. They
also work closely with research men in
solving unusual problems encountered
in the field.
Research—Path to Progress
A few of the results gained through
research aro: (1) lowering of dynamite
freezing points by nitrating ethylene
glycol along with glycerol to diminish
the hazards of thawing frozen dyna­mites.
(2) Production of less hazardous
dynamites by substituting ammonium
nitrate partially for nitroglycerine,,in
-spite of the greater hygroscopicity and
lesser explosive power of the former.
This resulted in dynamites less hazard­ous
to manufacture and use. (3) Intro­duction
of "Nitramon," a blasting agent
containing a high percentage of ammo­nium
nitrate as its major ingredient. It
is equal in strength to the most power­ful
dynamites commonly employed and
yet is by far the safest blasting agent
available. (4) Development of explo­sives
with a minimum of noxious gases
for use in confined areas. (5) Numerous
improvements in the composition, man­ufacture
and design of the blasting
caps which set off the main charge.
Aside from these developments in
explosives and blasting supplies, there
have been many accomplishments in
chemistry and engineering .associated
with such projects as the oxidation of
ammonia to nitric acid; manufacture,
granulation and drying of ammonium
nitrate; substitutes for nitroglycerine
and ethylene glycol dinitrate, concen­tration
of nitric and sulfuric acids, and
a host of other subjects.

Hutsell's Men Smooth
Edges For SEC Meet
By Jack Simms
Led by Buddy Fowlkes and
Jimmy Nolan, the Georgia Tech
track Jeam won a 72-54 victory
over Coach^Wilbur Hutsell's thin
elads at the Stadium Saturday.
The victory gave the Jackets a
perfect season and was the first
defeat in five starts for the Tig­ers.
Both teams were very evenly
matched except for the dashes.
In the 100, 220, and 440 yard
scampers, .the Georgians got 25
points to 2 for the Plainsmen.
Both teams had winners in seven
events, but the Tigers were un­able
to take their quota of sec­onds
and thirds.
Fowlkes, the Cracker Comet,
was high point man of the day
with 15 to his credit. He won the
century and furlong and hit the
tape first in the low hurdles. Bud­dy's,
teammate, Nolan, was sec­ond
in individual scoring with 11
points.
Fred Carley gave the crowd its'
biggest thrill with a- beautiful
race in winning the 880. Fred ran
last in a field of five most of the
way, but showed a great burst of
speed in passing Renshaw of
Tech a yard from the tape. Fred
also captured the mile run in
4:25.'
Overton Adds Another
Whitey Overton won the Chick
Aldrich Memorial Trophy by vir­tue
of his win in the two mile
race. Coach Dean of Tech pre­sented
the award in honor of the
late Chick Aldrich, who was EL
great two-miler when he was at­tending
Tech.
Coach Hutsell's squad will take
a trip to Birmingham on Friday
and Saturday for the SEC Tourn­ament.
In winning over the Tig­ers,
the Jackets are favored. Be­hind
Tech, the fans are trying to
decide between Auburn, Florida,
and LSU. In their last appear­ance
of the season, the Tigers
will be seen -in action in the
SEAAU Meet to be held here

TOMORROW'S APPLIANCES
The Story of
JIM YOUNG
LAFAYETTE '37
THE General Electric refrigerators,
ranges', and other appliances that horll|e-niakers
will buy in 1950 are already under
development. Jim Young, ten years out of
Lafayette College's mechanical engineering
course, supervises the engineering.
Jim, graduating magna cum laude, chose
General Electric's job otter over others be­cause,
as he says, "G.E. ottered more different
fields of engineering, had a better program
than any other company, and could provide
better experience."
The varied experience that Jim souglit
came to him fast. While on "Test" with
G.E., he worked ni four different plants
and at six different assignments. Following
"Test" he enrolled in the G-E Creative
Engineering Program and drew five as­signments
in laboratories and design de­partments.
His first "real work," he says, was in
helping to develop large-size rocket launch­ers,
both airborne and land types. His
success with this assignment made possible
his steady progress to the top of liis depart­ment's
Advance Engineering Section.
Nexl to schools and the U.S. Government, General Electric
employs more college engineering graduates than any
other organization.
Jim became interested in mechanical problems
early. In his teens he found a hobby in re­building
old autos.
Today Jim supervises the engineering of G-E
household appliances that will go on the
market two to five years from now.
