TRYOUTS FOR NOAH BEGIN
AT Y-HUT NEXT MONDAY
By Frank Sego
Montgomery is set for the "Battle of the Tigers" when
Auburn's plebe-studded Plainsmen, finding seasoned con­ference
competition plenty rugged, step out of the family
circle to entertain Coach Frank Howard's strong Clemson
eleven in Cramton Bowl Saturday. Capitol City kickoff
time is scheduled for 2 p. m.
Open tryouts will be held for Mrs. Louise Forte is to compose
the Auburn Players' winter pro­duction,
Noah, commencing at
7:30 next Monday, Nov. 25 at the
Y-Hut. Anyone interested in act­ing
is urged to tryout. There are
five men's parts and four wom­en's
parts that the players hope
to cast at this time. Eight lesser
roles will be cast early next
quarter. .
According to Professor Telfair
Feet, director of the Auburn
planned as a stylized fantasy, a
humorous, philosophical treat­ment
of the old Bible Story. Pro­fessor
Roy Staples of the depart­ment
of applied arts is assigning
as a class project the construc­tion
of the "animals" who appear
in the play. Professor Hollace
Arment of the department of
music is composing incidental
music for the production, while
and direct the dancing.
A number of changes in the
larger equipment at the Y-Hut
are being made to allow for the
accommodation of the difficult
staging of Noah.
Oliver Oliver, the Players' fall
production, is still available 'foi
booking by any student organiza­tion.
It was presented before the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity last

Woman's Club next week. Profes
sor Peet expects to keep this pro­duction
active during the winter
quarter. One of the girls' roles
must be replaced for the next
quarter and girls interested in a
part in the play are urged to see
Professor Peet at the Y-Hut any
afternoon from 3 to 5:30.
ON THE CAMPUS
Although Jackie Emery, president of the Baby sitters club,
is not reading Shakespeare, she finds that baby-sitting is inter­esting
work, and probably enjoys reviewing the nursery rhymes
which were read to her years ago, From the pleased looks on the
faces of the Engel daughters—Bonnie on the right and Nancy
on the left—they are delighted to have Jackie read to them
while their parents take the night off. Baby sitters may be
reached at phones 9102, 9103, 945 between 8:30 and 9:30 p. m.
Students Must Attend Classes
Day After Thanksgiving-Deans
No classes will be excused Fri­day,
Nov. 29, the day following
the Thanksgiving holiday, The
Council of Deans has instructed
that classes and quizzes be held
without exception on Nov. 29 and
30 and that no leaves of absence
be issued before or immediately
after the holiday.
Dean Roger Allen, acting chair­man
of the Council, explained the
difficulties confronting the Coun­cil
and preceding this resolution.
For two reasons, Dean Allen
said, Nov. 21 was set as the
Thanksgiving holiday last Spring:
first, at the time the President's
office was considering the calen­dar,
a football schedule had been
adopted and Homecoming Day
was listed for Saturday, Nov, 23,
when the Clemson game would
have been played in Auburn.
S e c o n d l y , it was generally)
thought that Nov. 21 would be.
Thanksgiving, due to the fact that
the year before the President had,
designated that day.
It should be mentioned in re­lation
to the second reason that
the President and various gov­ernors
had yanked Thanksgiving
back because all businesses were
opposed to the holiday falling so
close to Christmas. Too, during
war years such a thing as a
Thanksgiving holiday was un­known
, , ,
For three reasons, the Council
cannot cut the quarter any more.
They have already cut out Satur­days
for football games; teachers
do not have time to adequately
prepare students for next se­quence
courses; and many stu­dents
already want to drop
courses because they can't keep
up.
The Council of Deans has taken
a balking bull" by its horns and
has reasoned with it in the best
way possible. They deserve the
students' cooperation.
Engineer's Council

Qualifications Are Open
Qualifications for editor of The
Plainsman will be lowered temp­orarily,
the Publications Board
decided this afternoon when the

Taylor Lumpkin, and Gray Baker
Ranson all failed to qualify be­cause
of minor technicalities.
Action on these three was post­poned.
Anyone whb wishes to ap­ply
may do so by filing the neces­sary
forms with Wiley C. Allen
in Samford 101 by noon Monday.
All applications will be consider­ed
and the best qualified will be
approved at 4 p. m. Wednesday.
Students Admitted
To Concerts Free;
-First Dec. 3
Students are to be admitted
freed to concert series programs
this school year according to the
decision "of the Concert Commit­tee
now headed by Dean Turpin
Bannister of the School of Archi­tecture
and the Arts. The concert
of Henry Cowell, American com­poser-
pianist, will inaugurate the
new system the evening of Tues­day,
Dec. 3, in Langdon Hall.
Although students r e c e i ve
their tickets free, it will be neces­sary
to obtain free tickets by pre­senting
student activities books
at the office of the Director of
Student Affairs, Samford 101,
Nov. 25, 26, or 27. There are 650
seats in Langdon Hall. Should
there be any remaining seats, the
faculty will be allowed to pur­chase
them at $1.22 (tax includ­ed)
on Nov. 29, 30 in Samford 101.
The general public will be al­lowed
to purchase any remaining
tickets at the same price and
place on Dec. 2. Any remaining
tickets will be available at the
door, the night of the concert.
In addition to the pianist, Hen­ry
Cowell, the concert program
includes Piatigorsky, world-fam­ous
'cellist, on February 20; the
Cincinnati Symphony on March
30; and Jennie Tourel, soprano,
April 18.
In recent years the Tiger-
Tiger conflict has been a high­light
of the War Eagle's home­coming
and history would have
repeated itself had the Auburn
Stadium bleachers not been con­demned
earlier this year.
Auburn-Clemson gridiron war­fare
dates back to 1899 and since
that eve of the twentieth cen­tury
the Plains Tigers have an­nexed
a full 20 games while the
South Carolinians were winning
six. One contest was fought to a
scoreless deadlock.
Records Identical
As far as the parley holders
are concerned the 1946 meeting
will be something of a tossup
since both teams have an equival­ent
won and lost records for the
season.
Of their eight games thus far,
the two Tiger elevens have like­wise
won and lost in outings with
Furman, Tulane, and Georgia.
Auburn whipped Furman, 26-6—
Clemson finished them off, 20-6.
Auburn was swamped by Tulane,
32-0—Clemson caught it (only
worse), 54-13. Auburn saw the
Georgia Buldogs sweep by, 41-0—
Clemson was a bit more for­tunate,
holding the Athens mob
to a 35-12 victory.
Jenkins, Great Center
In spite of the Carolina Tigers'
showing this season they are not
to be underrated. Coach Howard
is proud in his boast of bulky
Ail-American Candidate Ralph
Jenkins, who ranks with Tech's
Paul Duke, 'Bama's Vaughn
Mancha, and Navy's Clyde Scott
as one of the best pivot men in
the country.
Here at the Plains, Coach Carl
Voyles' Tigers are still being
jinxed by injuries. Halfback Jim
Shiver and Freddie Gafford as
well as Tackle Jack Cornelius are
definitely out for the season.
Phil Poundstone, the husky
Montgomery guard, who render­ed
a bang-up performance in
place of the ailing Jimmy Rose
last week, is likely to get the
starting not before his home-towners
Saturday.
Travis Tidwell, top Tiger tail­back,
may enter the Clemson fray
as the nation's number one of­fensive
since Bobby Layne of
Texas was the victim of a surg­ing
TCU forward wall last Sat­urday.
Probable starting lineups:
TIGER EAT TIGER!
A monster "Beat Clemson" pep
rally will be held in Langdon
Hall at 7:30 p. m. Friday night,
announced Head Cheerleader Bill
Cook.
The program planned will fea­ture
a concert by the Tiger Band
featuring new and old Auburn
yells and songs, following the
concert an open discussion will be
held to map plans for the 47 foot­ball
season. New yells will be
tried out and upon the outcome
of this rally will hinge plans for
out of town parades and special
travel arrangements for out of
town games.

Spotlights Quiz
Comes to Langdon
If any of you students have a
desire to be on the radio, and
would like a few prizes thrown
in on the side then don't miss the
Spotlights Quiz show in Langdon
Hall, Dec. 5, at 7:00 p. m.
Paul Owen and Jim Bradley
with the help of Squires are real­ly
going all out to make it a big
one. Right now they are canvass­ing
the whole state of Alabama
for prizes bigger and better than
any others ever given away on
the Auburn campus.
Its simple enough. All you have
to do is be there a few minutes
early to be sure that you get
settled i in a seat before the show
goes on the air over station
WJHO. It will be unrehearsed
and twice as much fun as the
last one.
Tickets go on sale by members
of Squires in a few days. The
proceeds from the show are to go
into the Squires fund for the im­provement
of the Auburn cam­pus.
Pre-Registration Begins Dec. 5
Pre-registration for the winter quarter begins Dec. 5 and ends
Dec. 10, Registrar Charles Edwards announces. Late registration
fee begins Dec. 11. Over 6500 registrants are excepted.
Deans will notify their students by various methods of the time
they are to make their schedules. Students will be charged the
change-of-course fee if they reg­ister
for any subject before they
have had the pre - requisite
courses.
Representatives f r o m the
Deans' offices will be in Student
Center during registration, so
students may consult them there
if desired classes are not avail­able
at the time they register. In
the past students have had to
return to he Deans' office to se­lect
substitute courses.
Processing of student registra­tion
cards by the registrar's and
cashier's lines will be handled in
in Student Senter.
After planning of a schedule in
the Dean's office, the student will
go to Alumni Gym for scheduling
of physical education.
Processing of student registra­tion
cards by the registrar's and
cashier's lines in the following
order:
Dec. 5—juniors and seniors, in­cluding
fifth-year students.
Dec. 6—sophomores.
Dec. 7 (8-11 a. m.)—late regis­trants
from above classes.
Dec. 9-10—freshmen.
It will not be necessary to cut
classes to register, since the Sat­urday
morning has been set aside
for late registrants, Mr. Edwards
pointed out.
Every effort is being made to
avoid long registration lines, but
they cannot be completely elimin­ated
this quarter.
WSGA Petitions Needed
Petitions by prospective candi­dates
for positions in Women's
Student Government Association
must be deposited in the Ballot
Box at Social Center by noon
Wednesday. The Qualifications
Board will meet at 5 p. m. Wed­nesday.
Foursome To Review
Game With 'Bama
On WJHO 'Spotlights'
Travis Tidwell, Tiger tailback,
and Frank Sego, Plainsman sports
reporter, will collaborate with
Jim Bradley and Paul Owens for
the "Spotlights on Auburnites"
broadcast over Radio Station
WJHO tonight at 9:30.
The foursome will reinact the
events of the bloody battle on
Nov. 16, 1907, when the Auburn
Tigers last dealt with Alabama's
Crimson Tide on the gridiron.
The Tigers, then coached by
Mike Donahue, were favored to
take the Alabamians by several
touchdowns. However, trick plays
by the latter gained them a 6-6
deadlock with the battling Ben­gals
in a thrilling contest that
ended in fist-cuff and gunplay
thus terminating grid warfare
between the two schools.
API Symphony To Play
During Orchestra Week
The API Orchestra—now num­bering
40 players—will give a
concert on two afternoons during
Symphony Orchestra Week, Dec.
2-6. The concerts will be from
3:30 to 5 p. m. Dec. 2 and Dec. 5,
in Langdon Hall.
Any instrumentalists in the
neighboring vicinity are invited
to join. Visitors are invited to
come and meet Prof. E d g ar
Glyde, director of orchestra and
assistant professor of stringed
instruments, and hear the orches­tra.
On the program will be Mr.
Glyde, various soloists and wind
and string ensembles.
Campus Gives $693.77
The recent Red Feather drive
netted $693.77 from the campus,
helping to put Auburn over the
top. Of this amunt, $239.23 was

Chinese Officer Sees 'Auburn Spirit'
In Hospitality, Humor, Sincerity
Lt. Jackson Soong, one of the Chinese Officers from Ft.
Benning who recently visited Auburn as a guest of the
Episcopal Parish, writes of the A u b u r n spirit in a thank-you
l e t t e r.
"Although I have been in this country only for four
months, I have met many peo­ple.
I have been especially inter­ested
in watching their way of
living which is quite different
from ours. I find that the people
in this country are busy and fast
moving. They are friendly but
sometimes forgetful. Girls are
busy too; they are busy in at­tending
parties, accepting dates
and trying to catch their boys.
When I talk to them, I am al­ways
afraid that it may mean a
waste of time to them.
"But when I went to Auburn,
T found a different world. I
breathed the air of hospitality;
wherever I went, I was accosted

HA!GEDORN'S
OPELIKA, ALA.
ied on Ag Hill. And under his
directorship the Alabama Agri­cultural
Experiment Station has
gained national recognition as
one of the leading experiment
station in the South.
Dean Funcness grew up as a
farm boy in Orangeburg, S. C,
and his early education was in a
small rural school. He attended
Clemson College in South Caro­lina,
where he got his B.S. de­gree
in 1908. The next year he
came to API as assistant professor
of agriculture.
But young Funchess saw the
need for a higher education; so
after a relatively short period of
service here he received a leave
of absence to do further study at
the University of Wisconsin.
That institution awarded him an
M.S. in agronomy in 1911.
The future dean then came
back to API as professor of agron­omy,
a position which he held un­til
1921, when he was made head
of the Agronomy Department.
Since 1924 he has served in his
present capacity.
Made 'CuIIars Roiallon' Famous
Dean Funchess has done nota­ble
research in numerous phases
of agronomy, including soil fer­tility,
decomposition of organic
toxins in soils, infertility in acid
soils, and many others. He made
famous the "Cullar's Rotation,"
an experiment to learn the effect
of phosphorous on the yield of
important crops in Alabama.
For a number of years it was
his practice to write, in the ALA­BAMA
FARMER, a message to
students of the state who were
getting ready to enter college.
The fatherly advice in these arti­cles
was well worth adhering to.
In an article in the January is­sue
of that magazine in 1927 he
maintained that "More outside
reading, participation in student
activities, and more reasoning
and less memory work are needed
by undergraduates." To the high
school graduates in the state in
1932 he said: "No community, no
state, and no nation can rise
above the level of the leadership
provided."
They Call Him 'Facts'
"Facts" Funchess, as he is pop­ularly
referred to, is a great be­liever
in facts, and he tries to
live up to his motto: "Theories
are great but facts are better."
Dean Funchess has been active
in numerous organizations relat­ing
to his work. He is a Fellow
and past president of the Ameri­can
Society of Agronomy; a mem­ber
of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science;
and a member of the Alpha Gam­ma
Rho, Phi Kappa Phi, and
Gamma Sigma Delta fraternities.
He is a member also of both
the Auburn Country Club and of
the Auburn Outing Club, and is
very fond of fishing. In fact, he
is so fond of fishing, it is report­ed,
that when his duties kept him
away from the sport for too long
he bought some goldfish to keep
in his home.
Fourth Button Society
Is Gaining Membership
Auburn students have a new
organization. It isn't the Red
Feather or the Blue Berry Club.
It's the Fourth Button Society,
Inc.
Who belongs? About every­body
in town, and if a national
organization is formed, member­ship
will climb into millions.
All club members display
prominently the club emblem—
a safety pin. Not only API stu­dents,
but faculty members and
Auburn townspeople are also
joining the club.
"It's never the third or the
fifth," bitterly complain club
members, "always the fourth."
It is hoped that some answer
may soon be found before all
men — instead of only three-fourths
of them—must go through
life branded as Fourth Button
club members.
The question to which all
Fourth Button club members are
eternally seeking the answer is:
"How does the laundry manage
to always knock off the fourth
button from my shirt?"

Some Drivers Invite Trouble
There are a few people in the world, and
at Auburn, that actually invite trouble.
West of College on Magnolia, the city
has restricted the entire northern side of
the street to parking. Yet, almost before
the yellow paint had dried, and in plain
view of bold face signs, drivers have con­tinued
to park in the restricted asea.
There are several reasons why motorists
should heed these signs, but safety is rea­son
enough.
Sam Brewster, API's able director of
buildings and grounds, said that the move
was made in the sole interest of safety. He
pointed out that if a fire were to occur
anywhere in the infirmary area that a
major traffic accident might result if the
fire truck were forced to wedge its way
through such a congested area.
The city council didn't want to restrict
parking and cause a city overflow; so Mr.
Brewster found the solution by offering to
convert the area between Ross and Ram­say
into a parking lot. This space accom­modates
52 cars.
In the future, let's cooperate with the
city and college on this matter. It might
prevent a serious accident.

The Ole Timer would like to give Republican Senator Ball
a pat on the back for his announced intention to introduce a
bill in the next Congress to make the closed shop illegal. We

if he wanted to work at a certain job. We fail to see how

Guest Editorial—On Journalism
By Bess Talbert
If you have ink in your blood seeking
an outlet or a nose for news seeking a
whiff of training, API is no place to find
it. There is no journalism major, offered at
Auburn. The nearest thing to it is a course,
English-Journalism, but you find that it
includes a total of four journalism courses
for any one year, one per quarter, with the
remaining hours to be acquired in Eng­lish.
Today the field of journalism is steadily
expanding. In both the newspaper and
magazine realm more and more opportuni­ties
are opening to men and women trained
to do the work. Specialized work is in­volved,
not a mere general knowledge of
writing. There is the sports writer, the so­ciety
writer, the make-up writer, the car­toonist,
the news photographer, each re­quiring
training in his own field. Even the
reporter covering fires, accidents, trials, or
interviews must be trained for the job if
he is to cover his beat efficiently.
In a college offering as many complete
curricula in the schools of Engineering,
Agriculture, Architecture, Home Econo­mics,
and Veterinary Medicine, why is the
department of journalism so completely
undeveloped?
One major argument has been the seem­ing
lack of interest in journalism evidenced
by the small enrollment in those courses
offered. However, what enrollment can
you expect in a course that seems to be
a mere waste of time with no degree ob­tainable?
The fallacy of this claim is clear­ly
shown from the interest and work put
forth by the students on all API publica­tions.
Many students transfer from API to
the University of Georgia, the University
of North Carolina and other colleges where
it is possible to obtain a degree in journal­ism.
Even in this state the University of
Alabama has a journalism department.
Many • colleges, such as the University of
Tennessee, are today developing a de­partment.
Another argument is that the import­ant
essential for writing is only a know­ledge
of English. Such knowledge is un­doubtedly
basic. However, after these es­sentials
are acquired in freshman English,
a study of Mythology, Shakespeare, Eng­lish
and American Literature — with no
journalism training—will be of little value
in developing the news styles and techni-,
que needed by the journalist. Mastering 20
English themes would still leave one at a
loss in writing one simple news lead.
A department of journalism should be
one of the first additions in the bigger and
better Auburn of tomorrow.
And They Cost Twice As Much
Have you seen the new, glistening, 1947
Alabama license plate?
No, and we haven't either.
Fact is, as you can see, they aren't very
new looking; they don't glisten, and they
look more like 1847 tags than next year's.
• Several states—Louisiana, for example,
decorates her plates with a pelican; sever­al
years ago Georgia exhibited a colored
peach that attracted attention throughout
the nation; Wyoming showed a bucking
bronco; but dear ole Alabam' pulls a fast
one on all of 'em—something different,
something novel—genuine rust seeping
through and taking over a silver back­ground
with black letters.
These tags, although unsightly, should
serve their purpose unless they completely
oxidize or disintegerate at a slight bump
along the highway.
Reason for the rustiness is probably due.
to a metal shortage at the state institution
where the plates are made, but shortage
or no shortage, it ain't fair when Georgians
get attractive ones and we Alabamians
pay five times as much and get our hands
dirty to boot!
the American way of life that
a man is entitled to work at any
job that he pleases as long as he
can find someone to hire him to
do that sort of work. To require
a man to pay a union initiation
fee as well as monthly union dues
if he is to hold a job is nothing
short of criminal.
We believe that the Republi­can
victory might be a good thing
if they follow their announced
intention of passing legislation to
regulate labor unions. We have
no quarrel with labor unions as
such but the dictatorial attitude
they have taken recently has
made them almost entirely evil
instead of organizations working
for the good of everyone.
Unions are supposed to be col­lective
bargaining organizations
but we wonder by what stretch
of the imagination the method of
saying "we want this and that
and some other thing or we will
strike" can be called bargaining.
Of course management is also
guilty of taking abritrary stands
but we think not so much as the
unions. Anyway, we'd like to be
in a position to strike for a salary
of $15,000 a year for about 16
hours of work a week as the air­line
pilots did recently.
As the situation stands now a
manufacturer or producer hard­ly
dares to make any advance
committments because he has no
way of knowing that his workers
will not walk off the job. Union
members, individually and col­lectively,
should be made liable
for violation of union contracts
and the courts should be em­powered
to award adequate dam­ages
for losses suffered due to
contract violations by the union.
We believe that the largest fac­tor
contributing to the evils of
the union are the national organ­izations.
If unions were confined
The Seniority Rule Is Unfair
One thing that is wrong with Congress,
it seems to us, is the seniority rule for
committee chairmanships. This is discussed
by Robert Heller in "Strengthening the
Congress."
Chairmen of Congressional committees
are appointed on the basis of length of
service on the committee and affiliation
with the majority party. Sen. Theodore
Bilbo from Mississippi is chairman of the
committee governing the District of Co­lumbia.
To question his ability would be
to subject him to no more scrutiny than
every public official gets sooner or later.
But back to the rule, which has been
rigid for many years.
Mr. Keller points out four serious de­fects
of the bill:
The protection given a chairman because
his seniority enables him to be arbitary
with impunity.
The seniority rule practically eliminates

the possibility of withholding a commit­tee
chairmanship from the senior man,
even though he may be unqualified for
the job.
The reason for re-election may have no
correlation with competency for a chair­manship.
Thus, the basis for selection of
chairmen is one not necessarily related to
the factors which should control.
Those sections of the country which
regularly re-elect their members of Con­gress
tend to obtain overbalanced control
when their party comes into power be­cause
their members accumulate seniority
even when their party is not in power. Oth­er
sections of the country reflect changes
in public sentiment by electing new mem­bers.
But the latter have little chance to
hold the positions where the changed pub­lic
sentiment could receive appropriate
rcognition.
A substitute for the seniority rule would
bring objections from members because of
the personal rifts which would be caused,
but Mr. Keller thinks an alternative would
be in automatic substitution. The solution,
he adds, must be worked out within the
Congressional family.
And a lot of prodding of the Congres­sional
family will be necessary before they
will take steps to make any change. That's
where voter-influence is needed, especially
in sections where members are re-elected
regularly.
Many of our smoking-car debaters whose
emotions daily run away with them were
supposedly inoculated against such fevers
by four years of college, and bear the vac­cination
mark of a degree; yet they prove
daily that it did not "take."

to purely local organizations there
would be much less trouble with
strikes. After all, if an employee
owes loyalty to anybody it's to
the man who pays his salary and
not to John L. Lewis or Petrillo
or some other man three thous­and
miles away.
We'd like to applaud the news­paper
publisher who, when in­formed
that 17 of his employees
were on strike, replied that they
couldn't strike — they no longer

Charles G. Bolte, Chairman of
the American Veterans Commit­tee,
warned recently that the
United States could very shortly
expect a wave of veteran "squat­ters"
similar to that which oc­curred
in England recently if
something were not done about
the housing situation. We have
our doubts that such a thing
would happen, but we would be
violently against any such move.
That is definitely not the way
to get things done. It is illegal,
unfair to the owners of the homes,
and would certainly be a black
mark against the veteran. We do
not believe that any intelligent
veteran—or any other person, for
that matter—would consider such
a thing.
Whether Mr. Bolte and the
AVC would encourage, discour­age,
or remain neutral toward
such a move remains to be seen.
Mr. Bolte neglected to mention
this.

(Editor's Note: This was written by Martha Rand, who as
former editor of The Plainsman, realized how much editorial
space has to be filled before a Saturday game. She was in Au­burn
Friday to receive the American Architecture School
Medal for outstanding work in architecture. Her Plainsman
made AU-American.)
Returning to Auburn, as a
more-or-less "ole grad", any
sane sole would look for the
things that have changed . . .and
being of such . . . i keep telling
me . . . it wasn't difficult to spot
the most startling, it wasn't rain­ing,
that is . . . but in order, other
noted differences, besides the
hoards of PEOPLE that have
come in since the all-time low in
enrollment at the college while I
was here, were the raw-deal's
new competitor, the no-u sign at
the crossing of College and what-ever-
street-that also is in front of
Toomer's, the trailers, the trailers,
the trailers and the filling-up of
the ex-vacant lots with new
buildings.
Perhaps it was the nice Friday
morning, or maybe it was the
effect of editorials which have
been written for The Plainsman
on the subject, but that corro­boration
of the friendly atmos­phere
always prevalent on the
campus, that "hi ya" wasn't
missing.
The signs on the walks saying
no vehicles allowed were being
nicely ignored by little scooters,
natcherly, and the folks were
walking on Mr. Brewster's pride-and-
joy as' always.
It was 'nuf to get a gal all
mixed up to walk in on the wrong
side of the Grille, and to see that
shining new floor, but to see it's
old habitue . . . habitui, whatever
the plural of that word may be
. . . was enough to prove that it
was the same place.
Walking into the Plainsman of­fice,
or rather climbing in over
the nice new files . . . which, in­cidentally
are a bad thing to have
around. You just fill 'em up and
then have to clean 'em out to
start all over again . . . it was
the same old story of the ed try­ing
to round up some new editor­ials
. . . and rustling up a good
political argument in the process.
And you couldn't miss the new
signs on the wall. The new ones
gradually filling up all the vac­ant
spots on the plaster . . . this
year's hopeful "wreck tech" ban­ners
taking the most prominent
places.
I can't stand any more of this

On The Side With Lenny Payne
There may not be pink elephants in class or champagne and
appetizers before English exams but some of the things that
come to pass are just as exciting and different. It can't happen
here—but it does!
The time was 10 a. m.; the bus was leaving in ten minutes.
Two students stood tense, alert, with their coats on ready to
dash. Answering, "Here," they
fled from the room much to the
awed amazement of both the pro­fessor
and the students. Anti-climatic
as it seems, they missed
the bus.
Something creating more at­tention
than theirs are the actions
of a certain professor in English
class; "Oh, wind, if winter comes,
will spring be far behind?"
And then there's ballet a la
chemistry 112, as the prof bal­ances
precariously on his chair
sans hands and feet, followed by
a mass sigh of relief as he re­turns
to terra firma with a
graceful pirouette.
Going to class is a necessary
evil to be put off as long as pos­sible,
if possible. Imagine the
surprise of the sweet young thing
whose alarm didn't go off at five
to eight, as she rushes into Alge­bra
100 with one pajama leg'
dangling below that cute green
raincoat. Result: universal hilar­ity
and a new mass movement of
arising at five to eight. Not to
be forgotten is Economics 201 as
the roll is called, "Miss McLain,
Miss Miller, Miss Owen, Miss
Pharo," and a redfaced "Miss"
Pharo emits a deep masculine,
"Here."
The one that still has 'em puz­zled
is the psychology class where
a guy got killed one day and
showed up in class the next. An­other
psychology stickler is the
continued lecture series. "A dark
man stole into my room, shoved
a gun in my back, and—", the
bell rings, the class is smilingly
dismissed, and everybody goes
home and jumps out of a second
story window to end the sus­pense.
At the beginning of the year a
national government class was
asked to divide itself on either
side of the aisle depending on
their political party. There was
a mad scurry for places and when
the dust settled there was one
lone girl who couldn't make up
her mind. There she sat in the
middle of the room for the whole
hour with her chin cupped in her
hand.
And then there is the freshman
from Podunk in Zoology lab, who
looked up wide eyed from his
microscope under which there
was an a protozoa slide and said,
"But really, professor, don't you
think there should be privacy in
everyone's personal life?"
Letters to the Editor
Vienna, September 16, 46.
To: The Students of Polytechnik
Institute, Auburne.
Dear Colleagues,
At a time of distress and star­vation
for many of our colleagues,
the Welfare Committee of our
academy turns to you, as well as
to the other students of he U.S.A.
with an appeal for help. Based
upon private initiative, thousands
of U. S. citizens have already
brought relief to many of our
compatriotes. This readiness of
assistance showed clearly the
friendly and loyal attitude of the
U. S. nation towards Austria. On
this academy, however, nobody
has been in the happy position to
receive a C.A.R.E. parcel.
Therefore, we have made up
old minds to appeal to yourself,
as well as to the students of oth­er
schools to be kind enough to
grant us some relief within the
frame of the C.A.R.E.
We trust you will not feel of­fended
by our request which we
never would have. made but for
our colleagues being in most de­plorable
conditions. We are con­scious
of the great efforts, al­ready
made and still being made
by the American nation within
the frame of UNRRA and are
feeling grateful. However, we do
not presume to be immodest in
appealing to you in a time of ut­most
need. May we refer to the
fact that it would be best to ad­dress
yourself to the C.A.R.E. it­self
for details as to conditions
and possibilities. This is the ad­dress

Dear Editor,
One of your articles that drew
my attention was the letter writ-en
by James Lecil Lovvorn, Box
1409 living a 141 South Gay, con­cerning
the veterans attending
college under the GI Bill.
Mr. Lovvorn, a veteran of four
and one-half years of service as
an officer, expresses his personal
views in an unpleasant manner
to many of the GIs and therefore
someone must tell Lecil a few
things that he cannot find in a
college book.
A few months ago this "aver­age
veteran," as Lecil refers to
was bearing the burdens of the
world on his shoulders and was
commended very highly at the
time.
The GI Bill is the only appre­ciable
benefit the veteran has got­ten
so far and had it not have

What is the Student Executive
Cabinet? Who are members?
Every student attending Au­burn
is a member of the student
body. The Executive Cabinet is
the governing body of the stu­dent
body. This makes everyone
eligible for a vote as well as
opinion as to what goes on in
the Cabinet.
Anyone may come to the meet­ings
of the Cabinet which are
generally held every two weeks
except when important business,
necessitates a special meeting.
The cabinet is composed of
students of each class and it also
has ex-officio members from all
the most important organizations
on the campus. This gives wide
representation. If any student
needs to bring something before
the Faculty or Administration,
the Cabinet is the proper organ­ization
to contact to do this for
them.

been for the acute shortage of
trained technicians in all prob­ability
they would not have got­ten
that, so the average veteran
is still aiding in the preservation
of the government and industry
of this country.
It's unfortunate that some peo­ple
can't see beyond their nose
and condemn a veteran because
he accepts a hard-earned benefit
which, after all, isn't a gift from
the American taxpayers but an
investment in the future as well
as being a stepping stone to re­adjustment
and security. This is
the best a veteran can ask for
and regardless of opinion it has
been proven a vital necessity to
any returning veteran.
As a result of the War I was
given a chance to attend college
and am very thankful for the
wonderful opportunity just as
many of the other poor guys are.
Most of the veterans agree with
me on my views and would-sign

think it necessary.

First Full-Fledged Navy Commander To Enter API Made
History When He Went Ashore Near Honshu, Japan
By Taylor Lumpkin
When the commander of the Navy transport Tatum
stripped himself of rank insignia, took a gun and went ashore
at Wakanaura, a beautiful suburb of Wakayama on Honshu,
Japan, he made history by being the first navy man ashore
there . . . Several months later commander Howes made
history again. This time he was
the first full-fledged Navy com­mander
to enter API.
Freshman Howes has not been
discharged, nor is he on inactive
service. He is attending Auburn
under orders from the Navy De­partment
preparing to attend the
Navy War College after gradua­tion.

as others do. Although he
owns a Packard, he cannot ven­ture
more than 50 miles from the
campus unless he gets a pass
from the Navy ROTC office.
For the past 17 years comman­der
Howes has been on the Navy
roster. He enlisted as a seaman
second class USNR in September
1929, and received an honorable
discharge September 1933 with
an ensign's commission in the re­serve.
For the next 10 years he
worked as a technical employee
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, and while
there he came in contact with
many Auburn electrical engi­neers.
Re-enlisted In 1940
In 1940 he began another tour
of active duty that lasted for the
next six and one-half years, see­ing
action in the Mediterranean,
Atlantic, and Pacific theaters of
operations. Commander Howes
was selected by the Navy Depart­ment
to attend college in Sep­tember,
1946.
He chose to enver Auburn be­cause,

Martha Lambert, Knights' Vocalist
Has USO Singing Career Behind Her
By Frances Mulherin
Just a bundle of versatility—that's Martha Lambert! As
the vocal attraction of Shel Toomer's Auburn Knights, she's
no amateur at the game. Martha, who is a freshman at API
and who hails from Birmingham, has been singing ever since
she was an Ensley High frcfsh.
T h e circumstances w h i ch
brought about the launching of
Martha's singing career are very
interesting. Before she was even
in high school, Martha (who look­ed
older than she really was) was
teaching dancing, doing some
floor show work, and training for
a promising dancing career as
the dancing partner of Don El-well
with Ted Lewis and his
band. This would have been a big
opportunity for Martha because
they were going to open in Chi­cago—
but, as often happens, bad
luck knocked and Martha had to
give up the strenuous life which
goes with a dancing career for
her health's sake. .
Gives Up Dancing For Singing
Martha was a little down may­be,
but certainly not out. She took
up singing and it proved not to
have been a bad idea at all. For
the next three years she sang
with Buddy Harris and his band
in Birmingham, and one of these
years they played at Birming­ham's
Hollywood Country Club.
Let it not be thought, however,
that Martha was content to sit at
home during her spare time and
twiddle her thumbs. No, indeed!
All during the war she did Spe­cial
Services and USO work, sing­ing
in army camps all over the
South. In all she did over 2,000
hours of such work — and it
wasn't easy, either. Often there
were two and three trips a week
and some mornings she would
just get back home from a camp
trip in time for breakfast and get
ready for school; for in addition
to all this she was still keeping
up with her school work!
Sings With Big Names
Martha recalls many unusual
and exciting incidents which oc­curred
during these camp shows.
One night at Maxwell Field she
sang with Glenn Miller and an­other
time at Camp Seibert she
sang with Benny Goodman. This
was quite as experience as well
as an honor for Martha. Also, on
these trips Martha became great
friends with Frances Dorn who
was runner-up in the Miss Ameri­ca
contest.
During her last year in high
school Martha sang on weekends
with Bobby Adair at the Univer­sity.
Bobby's band was made up
of part of the old Auburn Knights
who had transferred to the Uni­versity
for some courses they
needed. When Shel Toomer came
back to Auburn to reorganize the
Knights, Martha was signed as
vocalist.
Busy In High School
Martha wasn't exactly what
you would call inactive in high
school affairs, either. She was a
fashion show representative, was
in the May Court, was campaign
manager for elections, and was in
the A Capella choir. She also took
violin lessons for a while but
soon gave it up as a bad job.
Here at API, Martha is major­ing
in general education but is
thinking about changing over to
sociology. When asked what she
plans to do upon graduation, her
answer is that she would like to
continue in the entertainment
line.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1946 THE P L A I N S M AN Page Seven
Tigers Favored To Win In Saturday's Game
Auburn Invades Cramton
Bowl For Third Struggle
In their final home appearance of the current season, the
Auburn Tigers will assume the favored eleven role when they
clash with the colorful Clemson eleven in Cramton Bowl in
Montgomery Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is scheduled for
2 p. m.
The Tigers' engagement with
Clemson in the Capitol City,
their second inter-league scrap of
the season—they defeated Fur-man
27-6, in their first—will be
their "rubber" game there. They
nosed out Mississippi Southern
and lost to Vanderbilt in their
other battles in Montgomery.
The Tigers came through the
rough Georgia game with a mini­mum
of injuries and for the first
time since the Tulane tilt Coach
Carl Voyles can expect to field
a complete squad. It is thought
that Herring will start at the
quarterback slot for the Tigers.
In the feud with Clemson,
which was started in 1899, Au­burn
holds a 20-6 edge in games
won, and a 470 to 102 margin in
points scored, with one tilt end­ing
in a scoreless stalemate. Sat­urday's
game will make the first
time the two elevens have clash­ed
since 1942.
While Auburn was bowing to
Georgia 41-0 Saturday afternoon,
Clemson was rolling up a 20-6
victory over Furman. If you
could predict scores by previous
records, Auburn would be rated
one touchdown better than Clem­son
due to a 26-6 victory jver
Furman earlier in the season.
In games won this season, The
two teams are tied, each having
won three. Auburn won over
Mississippi Southern, Furman and
St. Louis and Clemson has re­corded
wins over Presbyterian,
Virginia Tech and Furman.
Jim Shiver, right, returned to an Atlanta hospital for further
Medical Examination following the Auburn-Georgia game. His
roommate Freddie Gafford, brother of ail-American Monk Gaf-ford
has also been lost for the season due to an ankle injury.
KIDS WILL BATTLE
IN TOY BOWL GAME
To the growing list of annual
post-season grid classics, the Al­umni
association of the John A.
Carroll Memorial High School is
adding the TOY BOWL, which,
is scheduled to be inaugurated at
Legion Field Saturday Dec. 14.
The Toy Bowl football game
will bring together two well
trained Midget teams, one from
Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and
the other from Birmingham. All
of the players are in the Primary
grade school and range in age
from nine to thirteen years.
The Mississippi squad will copy
the uniforms ' and formations of
Notre Dame while the Birming­ham
team will follow the dress
and formation of the Crimson
Tide. The Bay St. Louis squad
will be coached by Brother Peter,
director of St. Stainslaus college
and the Birmingham squad will
be coached by John DeBuys,
former Tulane football and box­ing
star.
The contest will be broadeasl
A Little Courtesy, Please
It takes very little effort to applaud an-injured player
when he is taken or led from the field.
The difference between the applause given to Georgia
players when they came off the field and the applause given
some outstanding Auburn players when they were injured
and taken from the field Saturday was very noticeable . . .
We suggest that the Auburn students do a little less sideline
criticizing and a little more applauding at the various Au­burn
games. . .

A starter on the 1942 Auburn team.. Jim Pharr returned from
overseas to fill the Tiger's center slot this season. He was elected
captain of the '43 team but it became a war casualty, and upon
returning was made co-captain with Sam McClurkin. He stands
6-3, weighs 195 and hails from Ft. Payne, Ala.
Hal Herring came into his own
Saturday afternoon. Despite the
fact that he was suffering from
an old shoulder injury and de­spite
the fact that he was ill, Hal
remained in the ball game and
did a wonderful job of backing
up the Auburn line. It is my
opinion that Herring, Fulmer,
and. Tidwell were the outstanding
Auburn players.
It is no secret that Auburn was
outplayed by a superior team,
but despite the fact that they
were trailing by a large score
after the first period, he players
kept plugging away. It is_truly
a great team that never stops
when he chips are down and the
way the players played then
hearts out against Georgia de­serves
much more praise and
credit than some of the students
here at Auburn see fit to give.
* * *
A round of applause to the
Georgia cheering section for their
Auburn cheers. A sporting ges­ture
from a great school and we
are looking forward to meeting
the Bulldogs again next year.
* * *
We propose that the Georgia- j
Auburn annual clash be moved |
to some location other than Col- :
umbus. When you arrive at the j
stadium a full half hour before'
the game time and due to the'
inefficient handling of the crowd .
miss half of the first quarter be- j
fore you can even get into the
stadium, its time for a change.
We suggest that the Auburn of­ficials
look into the matter and
see hat some better arrangements
are made before next year's I
game.

We feel rather proud of our
pregame predictions for last
week. Batted a hundred percent
(maybe Lumpkin is our good-,
luck charm) so here are the teams
of our choice for this week. |
Auburn to take Clemson( We
are having a hard time with con-:
ference foes, but we give the in- j
tersectional visitors a hard time;
Alabama over Boston College |
(We don't think the Eagles can
stop Bama's famed passing at-tack);
Tennessee over Kentucky
(T'ucky has improVed much but
wo don't think they can quite
measure up to the Vols); LSU
over Fordham (We think the
Bengals will bring home the
bacon this week); Georgia over
Chattanooga ("They ought to be
a law against such games"), Miss.'
State over Ole Miss (But what
a whale of a battle this is going
to be); Ga. Tech over Furman.
(only a question of how much);
N. C. State over Florida; and
Notre Dame to take Tulane.

The undefeated PKAs and the

finals of the Interfraternity
touchfootball league.
The PKAs reached the semi­finals
by downing the fighting
PDTs by a 20 to O count. Scor­ing
the touchdowns for the PKAs
were Maries Ridley and Flash
Riley. Dick Wasson, one of the
outstanding players on the PKA
team, handled the passing chore,
and his accurate heaves counted
for all three tallies.
The LCAs took the champion­ship
of league three by downing
PKPs 13 to 0. Holly handled the
passing detail, connecting with
Burgess for the first touchdown
and with Blake for the second.
The extra point was made by
passing, Holly to Blake.
In the independent league, The
Eagles remained the only un­defeated
team by handling Bob
Kirby's Thomas Streeters a 14-0
licking, Wednesday afternoon.
This game was rated a toss up,
with both teams being undefeat­ed
till this match.
On November 12, the FFAs

TCAs managed to nose out the
scrapping O'Gradys by the 6-0

Georgia Chills Auburn
y
In Bruising Game 41-0
By Bill Dearman
A fast stepping Georgia eleven displayed a fancy brand
of football in Columbus Saturday afternoon as they downed
the spirited Auburn eleven 41 to 0.
Georgia, sparked by Ail-American Charlie Trippi, scored
the first time they obtained possession of the ball and there­after
the game was never in
doubt.
Auburn's helplessness against
passes was responsible for most
of the scoring. Of the six Georgia
touchdowns four were made by
passes and a long pass was in­strumental
in setting up another
tally. Rauch threw three of the
touchdown passes, one for a 20
yard gain, another for 30 yards
and another one for 38 yards.
One of the longest passes of the
day completed by Billy Hender­son
to Eli Maricich for 53 yards
and a Georgia touchdown.
Auburn's best drive came in
the fourth quarter following the
kickoff after Georgia's f i f th
touchdown. Inman ran the ball
back to the 31 and from that
point Auburn marched down to
the Georgia 25 when the drive
was halted.
The Bulldogs constantly kept
Auburn's famous Tidwell under
observation and threw up a very
effective pass defense, holding
Tidwell to 6 completions for 43
yards out of twelve attempts
while intercepting 3 of Auburn's
passes.
On the ground the Tigers com­pared
favorably with ' the great
Georgia team gaining 121 to 175
yards Of Georgia. The main
ground gainers for The Tigers
were Cochran, who gained 40
yards in 12 tries, and Inman, who
gained 38 yards in nine tries.
The loss of four fingers on his
right hand is the handicap under
which Bob Cannon, of Gadsden,
is playing football. Despite the
loss of his fingers—they were cut
off in a rubber plant accident
in 1944—he is one of the Tiger's
leading tackles and earned a let­ter
last year.

From the Plains
By Richard Bjurberg
The opinion poll conducted in
last week's Plainsman was dis­appointing
from the standpoint of
the number of students and pro­fessors
participating. A total of
216 poll ballots were deposited in
the various boxes located on the
campus. Of these, 189 ballots were
from male students, 19 ballots
were from the female students.
Eight professors cast t h e ir
opinions.
In compiling the results, we
have discarded the eight ballots
the professors cast because we
felt that this number was too
small to calculate an accurate
opinion from the API faculty.
We combined the male and fe­male
student opinions to work
out the percentage of the answers
to our five questions.
Only 3.3% of the student body
answered the opinion poll. To
the writer, this seems to be an
indication of the lack of interest
toward national and internation­al
problems on the API campus.
This apparent lack of interest
alarms this writer who has al­ways
held to the belief that only
through college trained men and
women can workable solutions to
world problems be realized.
Following are the analysis and
comments of the opinions de­posited.
1. Do you feel a need for Con­gressional
legislation to regulate
labor unions?
Yes. 79.3%; No. 15.4%; In
Doubt, 4.8%; No Opinion, approx.
.5%.
It is interesting to note that
the student opinion is overwhelm­ing
in favor of regulation of labor
unions. "Very much so", said one
student. However another student
wrote yes but "limited legisla­tion".
While still another student
wrote after his no a comment "too
many restrictions now." With the
impending coal crisis growing
more acute every day, this opin­ion
on this vital question takes on
significant meaning.
2. Do you believe a workable
understanding of peace and
friendship can be reached be­tween
the U. S. and Russia?
Yes. 68.7%; No. 10.6%; In

Pat Kirkwood, former API student, from Gold~Hill will as­sume
her duties as Episcopal Student Worker this week. While
at Auburn, Pat was President of Chi Omega sorority. President
of Sphinx, Co-chairman of WSSF drive. Production chairman of
Red Cross. Secretary of the Inter-Faith Council, President of the
Canterbury Club, Vice president of WSGA, House president of
Dorm. II, member of IRC, Oracles and Owls.
Prior to her work this fall with the public welfare agency in
Baldwin County, Pat was with the Danforth graduate Fellow­ship,
serving Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls. Iowa.
Doubt, 19.7%; No Opinion, ap­prox.
1%.
Today the world is watching
the developments between Rus­sia
and the United States. Over
68% of the- students who cast
their opinions feel that an un­derstanding
between the United
States and Russia can be reach­ed.
But perhaps a comment writ­ten
in by a student best expresses
the opinion of most of us when
he wrote "but will it"? On the
answer of this comment, we be­lieve,
rests the peace of the
world.
3. Do you believe the United
Nations will succeed?
Yes, 35.6%; No, 23.6%; In
Doubt, 37.5%; No Opinion, 3.3%.
To the writer, the answers to
this question are quite significant.
Less than half of the student poll­ed
believed that the United Na­tions
will succeed. More were in
doubt than certain of the United
Nations' success. "Depends on
leadership" was one comment
given. "Some day" was another
way a student expressed it. "In
a limited sense," "to a certain ex­tent",
"it will take time", were
other comments to this vital
question. However one student
registered a definite "no" with
the comment "it has been a fail­ed
already".
We believe that the poll opinion
apparently reveals that the API
student is waiting for more posi­tive
results from the United Na­tions
before condemning or prais­ing
its success. Caution is the
student's watch-word toward this
international organization.
4. Should the U. S. government
lower its immigration barriers to
permit entry of European dis­placed
persons?
Yes. 16.4%; No, 78.8%; In
Doubt, 3.4%; No Opinion, 1.4%.
Apparently a resounding no is
the answer to this question. Two
students who voted yes had a
comment each. "On certain con­ditions"
and "to a small extent"
was the way they expressed ap­proval.
5. Are you in accord with Pres­ident
Truman's announced policy
of urging the Arabs to accept the
entrance of 100.000 Jews into
Palestine?
Yes, 56.7%; No. 27.4%; In
Doubt, 9.6%; No Opinion, 6.3%.
Of all the questions asked, this
question seemed to get the great­est
percentage of no opinions. The
question is difficult to answer and
we believe this fact is registered
to a degree in this poll.
. The writer would like to thank
all those students and professors
who participated in the opinion
poll. While these percentages
may not prove conclusively the
opinions of the student body, it is
felt that it does shed some light
on the opinions of the students
who are interested in national
and international affairs.
