Impaired Sight Can't Stop C. A. Vice
From Maintaining Four-Point Average
By Taylor Lumpkin
Early in the spring of 1945, on the steaming hot Pacific
Island of South Hampton, a young G.I. buried his head in his
hands.
He had just been told that he would probably never see
again and the meaning of "total blackout" was dawning on
his bewildered mind.
Today, that same G. I. is a I j*
student at API and is making a the afternoon. He can sleep late
scholastic record of all A's!
How did he do it?
Back on South Hampton, Curtis
A. Vice, "talked himself into it."
Fighting Thoughts
"What'if I-am 100 percent dis-1
abled?" he said, "I'm a veteran,
entitled to benefits under the
G. I. Bill of Rights. Darn it, I'll
go to school anyway and further­more
I'll make all A ' s r These
were the fighting thoughts that
brought Vice out for a situation
which has ruined the lives of
countless lesser men.
After his discharge Feb. 14,
1946, he wasted no time in com­ing
to school. He went through
veterans' guidance in Montgom­ery,
and soon afterwards enroll­ed
in industrial management
here. It was his ambition to make
all A's, and that is exactly what
he is doing.
Was Tech Sergeant
When Curtis entered the Army
July 3, 1943, he was hoping that
he would get into the signal
corps, because he had always
"had a way" with radios. No
doubt the radio repair course he
took at the University of Alabama
helped him to get his rating of
technical sergeant in the signal
corps.
Like all soldiers, he made the
rounds of the training camps and
stations in the United States.
Finally he ended up at an isolat­ed
weather station at South
Hampton Island in the Pacific.
There he lost his eyesight as a
result of malnutrition.
After leaving this station, he
spent nine months in a hospital,
receiving treatment for his eyes.
"They improved some in the hos­pital,
and the doctor is hopeful

Sunday Evening
The Rev. U. S. Pitts, D.D.,
pastor of the First Methodist
Church of Florence, will be guest
preacher at the Union Sunday
evening worship service 8 p. m.
next Sunday at Graves Center.
Dr. Pitts has held outstanding
churches in the North Alabama
area of the Methodist Church for
many years. A graduate of the
Candler School of Theology of
that they may become better in Emory University, he was for
in the morning if he wants to,
but he doesn't. He arises at seven
and takes, the day in full stride.
He usually s t a r t s studying,
through the eyes of Fred Digesu,
or any of * his • other readers,
around 9:30 or 10, and keeps
"hitting the books" until noon.
In the afternoons, he attends
classes except on those Fridays
when he hears the call of the
open road, and goes to his home
near Sweetwater. He also returns
on the last bus Sunday and
tackles his work the next day.
Curtis Vice is one of the most
outstanding students of API be­cause
of his amazing adaptability
to college life and his perfect
scholastic record of all A's.
And has his 100 percent dis­ability
affected his sense of
humor?
Just today he told the writer:
"My eyes may be bad, but I can
still tell a bottle of beer from an
ice cream soda."
time", Curtis says joyfully.
Digesu Reads To Him
For a fellow of 100 percent dis­ability,
Curtis gets around very
well. He attends all his classes,
even though he cannot read
anything on the blackboard. His
hardest course is solid geometry,
but that is' not worrying him. The
reason is that Fred E. Digesu,
another freshman in engineering,
reads his lessons to him. Together,
they have the course licked. Fred
comes around to 149 South 'Gay
Street every day at eleven to read
to Curtis; he also comes at night
when needed.
When asked what he thought
about Auburn, Curtis replied,
"It's a swell place. The people
are very friendly, and its so much
fun to try to predict the weath­er."
His favorite pastimes are
bowling, movies, and reading the
Plainsman headlines. (His vision

Not Lazy, Either
All of Curtis's classes come in
several years the pastor of the
McCoy Memorial M e t h o d i st
Church of Birmingham which
serves the students of Birming-
Southern College. He was one
of the most popular ministers
ever to serve that pulpit.
While serving as district super­intendent
of the Decatur district
of the North Alabama Confer­ence,
Dr. Pitts offered himself for
the A r m y chaplaincy, was
promptly accepted, and served
many months overseas, attaining
the rank of major. He is now in
his second year as pastor of the
large Florence congregation. Dr.
Pitts is recognized as one of the
most effective speakers of his
conference and has been named
to many places of distinction in
the Methodist ministry of the
southern area.
Special music for the Sunday
evening program will be provided
by Dr. Hollace Arment, head of
the music department and by
members of the Methodist choir.

Four separate registration periods for the fall quarter
1946, and a policy of limited enrollment on a priority" basis
were announced today by President L. N. Duncan.
"Xhe priority basis of enrollment is necessary because of
an unprecedented number of requests for admissions com­bined
with present limitations in
staff and facilities," explained Dr.
Duncan.
Dr. Duncan pointed out that
Auburn is adding new staff
members as rapidly as qualified
persons can be found and ade­quately
housed. "Teaching faci­lities
are also being expanded as
rapidly as possible, and the facul­ty
is .seriously considering the
raising of academic standards for
remaining in college," he said.
However, applications for ad­mission
this fall must be ac­companied
with evidence that
suitable rooming accommodations
have been secured. Prospective
students must also present a class
schedule approved by their re­spective
deans.
The new registration schedule
follows:
Aug. 12-16: Pre-registration of
students currently enrolled at
API during summer quarter, 1946.
Aug. 19-21: Pre-registration of
students enrolled at Auburn dur­ing
spring quarter, 1946, but not
currently enrolled.
Sept. 23-25: Registration of all
other former API students, in­cluding
those recently released
from military service.
Sept. 26-28: Registration
new or transfer students.
All prospective freshmen stu­dents
in Auburn or vicinity are
requested to present evidence of
their rooming facilities before
Sept. 23 on a form available at
the registrar's office.
If applicants for admission this
fall are unable to register dur­ing
the registration period to
which they are assigned, they
may register during September
26-28, provided they can schedule
required courses.
Reviewing Auburn's service
during recent months, Pres. Dun­can
said the college served ap­proximately
4400 students in the
spring quarter. 1946. More than
one half of these were freshmen.
By May 1946, the majority of
these freshmen were promoted.
A relatively small number of
seniors were graduated in May
and a similarly small number
will be graduated this month.
There have been relatively few
withdrawals or failures.
Therefore, while only a few
have graduated or withdrawn,
more than 1400 students moved
into upper classes. This mass mi-

On The Side With Lenny Payne
The Plainsman editor was conspicuously present at t h e re­cent
all star softball game sponsored by Squires, while the
editor of the Glomerata was as conspicuously absent. Could
this have any relation to the Plainsman-Glomerata clash in
softball which has been scheduled?
The proposed l i t e r a r y magazine seems doomed to an abor­t
i v e end. A counter proposal has been made to convert the
present Tiger Rag into a combination humor and literary
publication. Another more and

not yet been reorganized as well

Man is predominantly a gregari­ous
creature and when this gre-gariousness
is thwarted he be­comes
a frustrated individual

been suggested that students at
universities would profit by the
establishment of Personality Ad­visory
Boards. This is a delicate
subject to discuss but I firmly
believe that any student finding
himself unhappy, unadjusted, or
frustrated would profit immense­ly
by taking an active part in
some extra-curricular activity.
Therefore not only do I advo­cate
the reorganization of any
former societies on the campus
but also the formation of as many
new ones as there are interested
students, including the installa­tion
of several new social fra­ternities
and sororities.

WARE'S
Dear Editor,
It happens that I am not in Au­burn
for the summer quarter, but
from recent occurences it appears
that I am lucky not to be enrolled
here this quarter.
Last Friday night I got off
from my job in Columbus, Ga.
at 1:30 and started for Auburn
for a fraternity hayride on Sat­urday.
I reached here about 2:00
and proceeded directly to my fra­ternity
house; there I was re­quested
by two of my fraternity
brothers to take them uptown to
the Pitts Hotel to see a friend
of theirs who had a room there.
I gladly complied, and we
waited in front of the hotel for
their friend to come out. While
there, one of the fellows with me
yelled for the guy we were
awaiting. Whereupon, at once
from the hotel, proceeded two
Auburn policemen who came out
and asked who had been making
all the noise.
In the spirit of friendship, none
of us answered, thus laying our­selves
wide open for the charges
which the police preferred against
us. One of the cops turned to the
other and said, "Let's take them
in." "OK," said he who was ad­dressed,
and forthwith we were
told to get in to their car.
From there we were taken di­rectly
to the filthiest hole I have
ever seen, this den of disease,
masquerading under the cogno­men
of the Auburn jail.
We were shoved inside and
told we were charged with dis­orderly
conduct and public
drunkenness, and not given a
chance to defend ourselves.
But before we go any further,
there is one point I want to make
clear: I had not had one single
drink that night and I was as
sober as I ever expect to be. In
addition to my own statement of
my innocence I can produce seven
witnesses to prove that I was
completely sober and in full pos­session
of all my faculties.
Nevertheless, I was thrown into
the disease ridden Auburn jail,
while I was protesting my in­nocence.
A friend of m;ne had been
watching the proceedings and he
came down to the jail to see what
he could do. I asked him to see
the police and demand a blood-test
to prove that I was not drunk.
This the police refused, so then
my friend called Clyde Ellis, Au­burn
police chief, who said we

should call the state toxicologist.
There upon he called the head
of the toxicology department
learned that I was entitled to
such test.
Nevertheless -the Auburn police
refused to allow it. I was in jail
and there I would stay until eight
o'clock when I would be released
on bond.
All night long I stood in the
jail, and I say stood, bers.use
there was not a place for a decent
human to sit. No chairs, a bed the
dirtiest I have ever seen and the
floor covered with scampering
cockroaches and other varieties
of insect pests, were the main
features of this so called place of
confinement. Absolutely the filth­iest
place I have ever seen.
I was let out the next morning,'
tired and sleepy, but suffered no
permanent harm from my im­prisonment
except the loss of my
dignity which is no small matter
to me.
It is high time that the authori­ties
do something about situa­tions
such as these that appear
from time to time in Auburn.
Police officials should make some
sort of examination of the guys
they arrest for the charges pre­ferred
against them, and deter­mine
the true facts of the case
rather than rushing to unfair
conclusions.
If they don't the students
should act against them whole­heartedly
for otherwise no one
is safe from the mighty arm of
the law.

'Auburn Spirit' Could Begin with Orientation
The beginning of a new quarter always
brings new students and the necessity of
proper orientation to launch them success­fully
upon their college career. Back in
the days when we had a semester system
this could be accomplished with a great
deal more efficiency than is now possible.
More time could be allotted for orientation •
and the enforcement of rat rules upon a
freshman class just out of high school did
a lot towards impressing the proper spirit
upon them. Now that the quarter system
restricts l;he maximum time devoted to
orientation to three days the necessity for
efficient orientation is even more pro­found,
yet the orientation does not com­pare
favorably with that of previous years.
True, a large percentage of our fresh­men
are veterans and cannot be expected
to have the same reactions as teen age
high school graduates, and any attempt to
subject them to freshmen rules would be
utterly ridiculous. However, a freshman
handbook known as "The Rat's Bible" was
distributed to all new freshmen. This book
contained, in addition to freshman rules,
such things as the alma mater, other school
songs, school yells, and other valuable in­formation.
Perhaps a revival of "The Rat's Bible"
might prove worthwhile. A new edition
could easily be printed before fall orienta­tion
begins. Such things as Auburn his­tory,
campus traditions, school yells and
songs, the Auburn Creed, and informa­tion
on fraternities, sororities, and campus
organizations could be combined with ad­ministrative
policies and student rules and
regulations to present a general plan of
college life.
Much griping has been done concerning
the lack of school spirit. In all probabili­ty
this lack can be traced to an inadequate
orientation. Student orientation leaders
can do much to remedy the situation by
taking a.more personal interest in their
respective groups. Such things as a tour
of the campus and town and informal dis­cussions
of campus life might be instituted
by the individual leader on his own initia­tive
if not scheduled by the school.
The administration could also, by pro­viding
a short instructive period for the
student leaders, make the orientation into
something more useful than merely get­ting
a bunch of new students registered.
Orientation presents a Wonderful oppor­tunity
to impress upon the new student
the traditions and ways of Auburn, and
student leaders are more capable in exe­cuting
this job if properly instructed since
they are closer to the student and-would
speak on a more intimate basis. Without a
doubt a better Auburn would be the end
result of a more thorough and painstaking
orientation system for new students.
Improve Auburn-University Relations?
(Editor's note: This guest editorial was
written by Vivienne Thomas, former Au­burn
student who is a graduating senior at
the University of Alabama. She visited
here last week.)
Apparently the University of Alabama'
and Auburn are existing in a foregone
century, judging from the present-day re­lations
between the schools. There is not
even friendly competition or rivalry be­tween
these two isolated institutions. They
each exist almost completely oblivious of
the other's activities and with no appre­ciation
of the achievements of the other.
The need for joint participation in com­mon
activities is obvious to those who
would consider seriously the problems of
t h e state and a means of their solution.
There is a dearth of inactivity between
the organizations of the two schools, which
could benefit from common experiences.
Such groups as the Auburn Players and
the University Blackfriars, the Crimson
White and Plainsman staffs, the Forum and
Debate groups have a very definite means
for joint activities, and a need for the bene­fits
of other's experience.
This lack of joint activity is evidence of
the failure of both schools to give their
students an awareness of the problems of
the day and their importance to the stu­dents.
Included in the general education
that both institutions should be giving is
the realization by the students of a need
for cooperative action along certain lines,
rather than encouraging petty jealousies
and stupid prejudices.
It would be an enlightened student
body, administration and faculty in both
schools that would organize and partici­pate
in common activities and benefit from
each other's experience.
Not only in the field of activities are
the two institutions lacking in cooperation,
but in the scholastic field as well. The need
for a better means of exchange of ideas
and research findings has not been recog­nized,
and the two institutions which are
both working for the State's progress, are
handicapped in utilizing the other's ex­perience.
Interelated activities are encumbered by
the lack of recognition of the need for
them; by the lack of organized lanes of
communication between the two schools,
such as joint discussion and lecture groups;
and by absurd prejudices that belong to
another day.
Our educational processes, which have
been traditionally slow, are lagging be­hind
in this age, when two schools with
such a common interest and background
are not aware of the need for interelated
activity on even a small scale.
The annual controversy over the re­newal
of football competition between the
two schools is a glaring example of the
stupidity and pettiness that enters into
the relationship between the University
and Auburn. Regardless of whose respon­sibility
the schism is, it is a discredit to
both institutions that it exists.
We will have made great progress in
both institutions when an active program
of cooperation in all phases of campus life
between the two institutions can be in­augurated.
Until such a program is begun,
the relations between the University and
Auburn will remain in its present obsolete
condition.
If All Campaigns Were Clean—
The primary is over. The people have
spoken—perhaps not as loud as might be
desirable, but they have spoken. The vote
recorded was light, much lighter than the
race for governor. Maybe people were too
busy or maybe the general feeling was
that either of the three, major candidates
would have been satisfactory as a senator.
We must congratulate all the candidates
for a singularly clean race. We have no
illusions that politics in Alabama are snow
white, but in comparison with recent races
in our neighboring states this campaign
was a Sunday School picnic. To each and

every candidate and to the men who spoke
for them the state owes a vote of thanks
for keeping the campaign dignified and
respectable, as it should have been.
We noticed only two unfortunate re­marks
during the campaign. The Friday
night before election one of the candidates
implied that the candidate who had the
support of the CIO-PAC would be con­trolled
by that organization. We dispute
this premise. We do not believe that any
man in the race would vote any but his
honest convictions regardless of his sup­port.
The other remark occurred the night be­fore
the election when one of the speakers
for a candidate brought up the white su­premacy
question. We will give the candi­date
the benefit of the doubt and assume
that he did not know what his supporter
was going to say.
Perhaps someday we will have an elec­tion
in which each candidate will be con­tent
to run solely on his merits and not
find it necessary to make extravagant
promises or to take pot shots at his op-ponentsc.
Perhaps someday candidates will
stop introducing their own war records
and those of their fathers, sons, brothers
and every conceivable relative. But until
that day of dreams oomes along we will be
content if every election is as clean as
this last one.

, Rumor has it that the Glomerata Graft Gang paid out a
little graft for a change. We understand that they bribed the
weather man to bring on the slight precipitation which made
it necessary to postpone the Plainsman-Glomerata Softball
game last week. Perhaps they had heard too much of the
poweress of the Plainsman gang with such hitters as Jimmy
Brown, Frank Keown, T. Lump-kin
and Bill Dearman—our own
"Murderer's Row."
If we hear reports of this hap­pening
again we will demand a
Congressional investigation into
the various activities of the
"Graft Gang". We are inclined to
suspect they are up to more than
meets the eye. Besides the blinds
are always down in their office
and everything doesn't meet the
eye.

VETERANS' VIEWS
(Editor's Note: Veterans are invited to write for this col­umn,
provided they sign their names to their own articles.
The deadline is 2 p. m. Friday.)
By Charles A. Walton
As I write this article I can scarcely control my emotions.
It is with considerable difficulty that I hold back the salty
tears of a deeply touched soul. And yet, O Thou Ironical Finger
Of Fate, I know not to whom I am so grateful. Nevertheless,
the persons of whom I make these statements knows full well
who it is, so please harken, and —— —
hear the grateful but unworthy
voice of a deeply moved veteran.
And now let me make clear
my position.
At the end of every month,
there comes streaming into the
fair village of Auburn, hundreds
of checks from the government.
These checks are going to vet­erans
who are attending Auburn
under the G.L Bill of Rights. Fur­thermore,
these checks are usual­ly
for the entire amount of 65
dollars. In the case of married
vets, it is even more than that.
I, personally, know of one fellow
in the sophomore class who is
getting a cool hundred bucks per
month.
So here we have our situation.
These fellows, most of whom are
under the age of 35, are there­fore
confronted monthly with the
problem of dispensing with said
capital. And it is in this dis­pensing
of capital that I feel most
of them become delinquent. Now
it is also in this respect that I
wish to make my position known.
In the majority of college towns
throughout the United States,
these veterans are completely
turned loose with the entire
amount of their checks come the
end of every month. According
to statistics, in the average col­lege
town, the single veteran (af­ter
paying for his room, meals,
laundry, cleaning, occasional arti­cles
of clothing, and, of course,
a few necessities) has approxi­mately
$4.28.3 left.
As an inevitable consequence,
what happens? I'll tell you! They
become spendthrifts. They forget
the value of money; what it real­ly
means to the consumer. They
use their funds for movies and
parties instead of staying in oc­casionally
and studying their col­lege
work. As a result of this,
they soon lose interest in. their
courses in school and pursue the
easier, more attractive social life.
Education is still a business
with each college competing for
larger enrollment of better stu­dents.
In this respect Auburn and
Georgia Tech are the greatest
rivals of engineering schools in
this part of the South.
The first Navy V-12 semester
(July 1943) found hundreds of
former Auburn students at Tech.
Unfortunately college training
under the wartime conditions the
military imposed on its members
didn't make for an enjoyable
education. V-12 guaranteed eight
semesters of school so many of
those completing college failed to
win their degree. Auburn's roll
now includes many of those who
had a taste of Tech. Others de­cided
to return to Tech to finish
their schooling.
Georgia Tech has a fortunate
location, being in Atlanta. The
fellows have no trouble finding
material with which to promote
their "social-ology" courses in
the most cosmopolitan inland city
in the south. If they feel like
abandoning their texts for the
evening (and who doesn't), they
have to walk only five blocks to
the city's largest theater or ride
a bus ten minutes to the down­town
district.
The school wields no great con­trol
over Atlanta so nearby beer
halls are quite accessible.
The YMCA on the campus pro­vides
a convenient hangout for
non-fraternity members as welL
as a center for club meetings.
And one other unusual merit
Tech boasts of is a classical mu­sic
room in their library where
high-brow individuals can while
away the hours playing the disks.
But all these advantages doesn't
give Tech the friendly southern
atmosphere that is so noticeable
at Auburn. You won't see fellow
students on the campus greeting
each other as they pass unless
they are life-long friends. Perhaps
the city has imparted metropoli­tan
ideas to the college. The dif­ference
between Tech and Au­burn,
then, may be as the dif­ference
between the friendliness
of a small town to the impersonal
attitude of city life.
Tech offers no courses that
would normally interest a coed so
the enrollment of the two col-^
leges compare equally. Georgia
Tech has a national reputation
that exceeds that of Auburn. Per­haps
a catchy football song would
give us a good reputation, too.
The courses in either school are
no better than the text used or
the instructor. Tech tries to
eliminate poor students and so
theoretically maintains a high
(Continued on page 4)
Take, for instance, a certain
relative of mine who is attending
the University of Alabama. His
surplus capital usually runs well
above the average; something
like six or eight dollars per
month. After four months of
school, he became used to this
life of luxury. Then, all of a
sudden, the OPA blew up right
in his face. Caught unprepared,
(he had failed to save any "rainy
day" currency, you see) he be­came
almost frantic. As a result
of rising prices, he found that his
surplus dropped down almost to
NVT (Normal Vet Surplus). Hav­ing
been used to recreational fa­cilities
in excess of those enjoyed
by the majority of fellows, his
life became miserable. His room­mate
reported that it was not un­common
during the OPA days
for my cousin to attend the
movies every week that came
around.
Seeing no other way out, he
accepted a job with the Maheney
Construction Company. After two
months of part-time work, he de­cided
to quit school and go to
work. So there you see the evils
of too much money.
It is only natural then that all
veterans be reminded at every
chance of their obligations to
those persons who have spared
them this ordeal. It is easy to see
this if you'll only stop and con­sider
the present conditions in
Auburn. As it stands right now,
I'm going to have to eliminate
one meal a day or have the pair
of trousers cleaned and pressed
once a quarter to get my sixty-five
all the way through this
stack of bills.
And another word to you vets,
I've already been talking to the
right officials of the city, and I
got priority on the First National
Bank corner for selling apples if
somebody doesn't do something
about something, somehow.

Veteran of 53 Months Service Saved By
Bell; No Longer Faces Selective Service
A month ago'the odds were definitely against James S.
Farrior, Jr., but lately they have suddenly taken a turn for
the better. ...
Farrior, the first year student in electrical engineering,
who was publicized in The Plainsman several weeks ago as
the veteran of 53 months service who was facing the draft,'
His roommate, an early riser,
awakened him several mornings
ago and showed him a news story
in the Montgomery Advertiser
whereby a Merchant Marine vet­eran
of 24 months or more was no
longer eligible for the draft. Hap­py
over the news, Farrior was to
get more good news during the
day. The mailman brought him a
40-odd dollar government check
covering a reimbursement paid
While working as a civilian in
Atlanta before the war; and he
received a phone call later noti­fying
him that he had a job as
engineer for radio station WJHO
which will be hnadled in connec­tion
With his school work.
Love of Animals
leads Five Coeds
To Enroll in VM
Love of animals caused five
girls at API to pursue an un­usual
course — veterinary medi­cine.
These' coeds have come to Au­burn
from four states. They are
Marie Hall, Wilmington, N. C;
Nancy Lee Poehlman, Warring­ton",
Va.; Arlene Davis, Jackson­ville,
Fla.; Florence Muckel, Brad-eriton,
Fla.; and Anelda Baetz,
San Antonio, Texas.
Miss Poehlman-and Miss Hall
are equestriennes. Both have rid­den
and worked with horses all
their lives. Nancy was 1945 horse­manship
champion at Mary Wash­ington
College.
They have always wanted to be
veterinarians, and education at
Auburn is a means of realizing
this ambition.
Marie has already had some
professional veterinarian experi­ence.
She worked one summer at
Chapel Hill, N. C, as a veteri­narian's
assistant. This appren­ticeship
is part of each Auburn
vet student's training. .
Arlene was sure she wanted to
be .a Veterinarian when a little
girl. She worked in a Chicago
animal hospital three years be­fore
entering Auburn. Her main
interest is dogs. Her father has
raised them a number of years.
Only. two years ago Florence
decided to become a veterinarian.
Her family has a persian cattery
in Florida. The nearest cat vet­erinarian
is forty miles from her
home. Many animals died before
the veterinarian could reach
them. So Florence decided to go
to school and learn how to cure
them, herself!
Anelda Baetz, another coed vet
student, is intering with a Cali­fornia
veterinarian this summer.
Farrior served 32 months in the
maritime service as radio opera­tor,
first class, and 21 months in
the Royal Air Force as a radar
technician. He was in England
during the blitz and while aboard
merchant vessels at sea he braved
typhoons, was nearly torpedoed,
and his ship was bombed several
times.
After returning to his home in
Montgomery, Farrior decided to
enroll at Auburn, but was only
here a quarter before his Atlanta
draft board, where he registered
in 1941, was furnishings him with
a bit of unwanted correspondence
in the form of greetings. His phy­sical
completed and passed, he
was completing a grace period
when legislation was passed re­lieving
veterans of 24 months in
the maritime service from the
draft.
Tech Sends Thousand
More Tickets^-Beard
An additional allotment of one
thousand tickets has been re­ceived
by Auburn from Georgia
Tech for the Tigers ancient
Southeastern Conference football
battle With the Yellow Jackets in
Atlanta on October 26. The Tigers
sold out their first quota of ducats
and their second allotment is not
expected to last long, with the
football ticket sales now open
to the public.
Auburn's allotment for paste­boards
for the struggle with Geor­gia
in Columbus on November 16
also is exhausted and it is impos­sible
to secure more, according to
Business Manager Jeff Beard.
Beard's office also reports a
heavy demand for tickets to the
Tigers other games with Missis*
sippi Southern, Furman, St. Louis
University, Tulane, Vanderbilt,
Mississippi State, Clemson and
Florida and it is highly probable
that at least three of these tilts
will be complete sellouts in a
short time. "The tickets are go­ing
that fast" Beard stated, "and
we look for an even heavier ad­vance
sale now that the general
public can purchase tickets over
the counter and by mail."

By Taylor Lumpkin
Shakespeare wrote about sleep.
Keats wrote about sleep. Chris­tina
Rosette wrote about sleep.
Everybody wrote about sleep, so
bygolly Lumpkin is gonna write
about sleep.
To begin with, sleep is a four
letter word meaning sleep. It be­gins
with an s and ends with a p.
According to Mr. Webster sleep
is a state of unconsciousness,
normal and periodic in man, etc.
Another way to express it is a
diminution in irritability explain­ed
chiefly by the cessation of the
synoptic junctions to convey im­pulses
accompanied by an in­crease
in metabolic activities,
shown by the diminished output
of carbon dioxide.
Anyway it all boils down to
one thing, sleep means sleep. If
you still havenlt experienced it,
read The Plainsman.
The layman uses varied expres­sions
for the word sleep. The
civil engineer calls it horizontal
lab, and according to the veteran
it is something you do in. some
kind of sack, but professor Roe
calls it Schlafen.
Whatever it is called doesn't
make a whole helluva lot of dif­ference,
but it does take up a
considerable part of a person's
time, in fact.it takes up so much
time that classes often interfere
with it.
Sleeping is a relatively simple
process once a person gets start­ed,
but the hell of it is getting
started.
How To Go To Sleep
Some people take sleeping
pills, but this is not recommend­ed
because they might want to
get up and take another pill, and
their sleeping will interfere.
If you are not in the mood for
taking pills,.you can always count
sheep or goldfish or something,
i but don't ever try to count sheep
while they are grazing because
it will be most confusing. A man
once drove himself crazy doing
this. He had counted all the sheep
but one, who was running in and
out of the herd so fast that he
couldn't count him at all.
About the most practical way
to count sheep is to have them
jumping over a fence, but that is
old-fashioned, and besides one of
them might not make it, and
cause a terriffic traffic jam. If
you really want to be up to date
on this thing, have your sheep
riding in convertible Cadillacs.
Then you can always have
blonde chauffeurs, and besides it
saves wear and tear on the sheep,
because after the first lap you
don't even have to look at them
so they can stay home and go to
sleep.
Don't worry ab«ut wear and
tear on the blondes because they

Fraternity All-Stars Defeat Independents, 7-0
Norris Winning Pitcher; Greeks
Show Power at Plate to Score Early
By Bill Dearman
The under-rated fraternity All-Stars decisively defeated
t h e independent All-Stars on Bullard Field Thursday after­noon
by a one sided score of 7 to 0.
With Norris, the winning pitcher, holding the independ­ents
hitless in t h e first frame, his teammates went to work
on Matthews and pushed across four runs before Merrit re­placed
him on the mound. De
spite the change in pitchers the
fraternity players pushed across
another run before the end of
the first frame.
Taking advantage of a wild
throw by Wolfe, the fraternity
•All-Stars pushed two more runs
in the sixth frame.
Timely hitting and pitching
spelled the difference between
the two teams. The fraternity
hurlers gave up only two hits to
the independent swatters while
the fraternity batsmen were
busy collecting ten hits off the
AIO hurlers.
While the pitchers starred for
the Greeks, Jernigan was the hero
for the independents. He stopped
several fraternity rallies by
spearing several of his teammates

and he managed to keep the OTS
swatters pretty much in hand the
place in league one by defeating rest of the game

Theta Chi grabbed an early
two run lead in the initial half of
the first inning but OTS went
out front in their half of the first
when Sheehy pounded out a
three-bagger with three mates on
base. Before the Theta Chis could
settle down, five more runs had
crossed the plate.
Theta Chi took the wraps off a

"Mutt and Jeff" of the Auburn football squad. Denvard (Red)
Snell (left), and Billy Ball are also track team members. Snell,
a tackle, weighs 117-pounds more than scat-back Ball.
Red's size would find it hard to
move'about swiftly, but fans at
the Homecoming game against
Florida last season saw him on
a downfield blocking jaunt in
which he kept ahead of the ball­carrier
for over forty yards. In­cidentally,
Red has plenty of the
stuff called stamina—he played
the entire game that day—much
to Florida's regret.
This year in track Red put the
shot 44 feet, 4 inches, the best
distance recorded for the season
by an Auburn athlete. ^
There has been the question: Is
Snell the largest athlete Auburn
has ever had? The answer, ac­cording
to a veteran faculty mem­ber,
is, "No". Around 1919 Au­burn
boasted a 297-pound tackle
called "Unk" Sizemore and an­other
lineman of behemoth di­mensions
known as "Tubby"
Lockwood, who at last reports,
was practicing architecture in
Montgomery with o v e r 300-
pounds behind the pencil.
So, Snell is not the largest in1
Auburn's history, but we will
agree that he is big enough; be­sides,
competition has set in. Ray
Tapley, gigantic center from Tal­ladega
High, who arrived in time
for summer practice, strains the
scales at a mark dangerously near
Snell's weight.
Besides track and 'football, Red
is extremely fond of another
sport; he is the alleged conten­der
for the snooker championship
at McMillan's.

Snell And Ball Are Proof That It Takes
Large And Small to Make a Football Team
By Jimmy Coleman
Although they may not officially be t h e largest and small­est
members of t h e Auburn football squad, Red Snell, 272-
pound tackle, and 155-pound wingback Billy Ball, are good
representations of such a comparison.
It would seem that the two men, w i t h such a vast dif­ference
in s t a t u r e , would not have much in common; but quite
to the contrary they are both
members of Coach Wilbur Hut-sell's
track and field team. Billy,
a sophomore, lettered here in
football as a freshman in 1944;
then entered the service and was
an outstanding back with the
powerful* Keesler Field (Miss.)
Air Force eleven. On the track
team here he scored in the pole-vault
and 100-yard dash. For ex­ercise
Billy thinks nothing is bet­ter
than a bicycle and he has rid­den
one for many years, long be­fore
he starred for his local high
school team in Winston-Salem,
N. C. He is a member of Pi Kap­pa
Alpha social fraternity, and
plays a hot trumpet for one of
the student orchestras.
Snell, as a sophomore, has al­ready
won three A's for his ath­letic
prowess—football in 1944-45,
and another for track this year.

Veterans Granted
Leave With Pay
All veterans who are attending
school this quarter and who are
registered for next quarter will
be granted leave for the holiday
period between quarters. In no
case will leave be granted before
Aug. 24 or after Sept. 23.
Veterans are required to go by
the Veterans Guidance office or
P. M. Norton's office and fill out
form 7-1908 which will indicate
whether the veteran desires to re­main
on school status during the
holidays or if he desires to tempo­rarily
discontinue training for the
vacation time. If the veteran
wishes to be paid for the time
on leave, which is to remain on
school status, the time will be
charged on his training period.
It is imperative that all vet­erans
fill out this form regard­less'
of the method they choose.
Failure to do so will seriously af­fect
the training and pay status
of the veteran. At the same time
the form is filled out the blue
eligibility cards will be issued.
Veterans are urged to report to
the office and fill out the form
as soon as possible.
Veterans graduating this quar­ter
who do not plan to return to
school this fall should contact the
veterans office so that proper
records may be filed with the
regional office. To prevent delay
contact the office in advance of
graduation.
Nothing definite has been
worked out concerning the vet­erans
checks for the month of
August. Since school is out before
the checks are due to arrive it
will be left up to the individual
to have the checks forwarded.
Since government restrictions
prevent any writing on the enve­lope,
the check must be placed in­side
another envelope before be­ing
mailed.
PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR INSTALLATION
OF A 0 PI CHAPTER
Forty or more visiting members
of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority

visitors from Birmingham (Tau
Delta Chapter and Birmingham
Alumnae). The University of
Georgia and the Atlanta Alumnae
will be well represented, as well
as Randolph-Macon and Sophie
Newcomb. Several national of­ficers
will be present.
Installation activities will in­clude
a banquet at the Hotel
Clement on Saturday evening,
Aug. 10, with Mrs. Mamie Hurt
Baskerville in charge, and a form­al
reception at Social Center
Sunday, Aug. 11, under the direc­tion
of Cindy Lester.

People now are not contribut­ing

Russia. "Our fear of Russia is

their fear of us is based on

Concerning the recent loan to

blow up and then we will need
England. We are making an in­vestment
in the future by keep­ing
her (Great Britian) strong."
In conclusion, he said to the 70

the future. Uuse your abilities and

New ROTC Plans
Revealed To 100
Approximately 100 gathered in
Broun Hall auditorium l a st
Thursday afternoon .to hear Lt.
Col. S. A. Dickson outline the new
post war ROTC program. The
colonel stated that all points were
not clear as yet, pending Con­gressional
action, but that all
would be settled in the near fu­ture.
He predicted that the raise
in pay to 20 dollars a month for
elementary students and 60 dol­lars
a month for advanced stu­dents
would certainly be passed.
The main qualifications for en­rolling
in ROTC, which is entire­ly
voluntary, are as follows:
The applicant must be a citizen
of the United States and a regu­larly
enrolled student in Auburn,
that is, not staking graduate
courses.
He must be physically fit,
which is based on the estimated
condition of the student at gradu­ation
thereby leaving a margin
for certain defects that would be
cleared up at that time. This is
especially helpful' to veterans now
receiving disability pensions.
If a non-veteran he must have
reached his fourteenth birthday
and not past his twenty-first
birthday. Veterans who have not
p a s s e d their twenty - seventh
birthday may enroll.
Certain screening tests must be
passed for the elementary course,
and for the advanced course a
score of 110 on the A.G.C.T. is
required. The student, of course,
must maintain a satisfactory
standing in the college.
Col. Dickson then displayed a
chart showing the progress 'of a
student from the time he enrolled
to graduation and receiving a j
commission in the Officer's Re-j
serve Corps. He pointed out that
eight weeks summer camp could,
be attended either in 1947 or
1948, according to the amount of
time the student had before,
graduation.
He urged veterans who still
have three more years of school
to begin with the second year
elementary course instead of
starting the advanced course in
order to review and maybe study
certain subjects that were not
covered in the various branches of
the service.
In closing the colonel wished
to remind everyone that the
military department would be
very glad to answer any questions
or to study any particular prob­lem
a student might have con­cerning
enrollment.
