$1 with activity books.
Married students only will be sold guest tickets. The price is

have been furnished the athletic
department by the registrar.
Coach Jeff Beard said the quota
of guest tickets, reserved on the
basis of predicted enrollment fig­ures
for this quarter, was not suf­ficient
when 6300 registered, so
the guest tickets are being sold
to married students only.
Coach Beard warned against
"scalping" in Atlanta. City and
private detectives are on guard
against unauthorized agents.
"One caught last year was
fined $5,000," he added.

local Greyhound office to obtain
a special bus to leave Wright's
Drug store at 5:28 p. m. Friday
(arrive Atlanta 11 p. m. Friday
EST) on a round-trip ticket cost­ing
$3.85.
The railway ticket agent said
Monday night that the matter of
a special train was undecided.

Cabinet Considers Letting More
Students Vote, Major Elections
Show, Newspaper, Information Service
Planned By Veterans Organization
Members of t h e Veterans
Executive Committee will be in
Samford 209 from 4 to 6 p. m.
every Tuesday to help veterans
and give information about the
Auburn Veterans Organization,
President Herb Holdsambeck an­nounced.
Regular meetings of the organ­ization
are held from 7:30 to
8:30 on third Tuesday nights of
each month in Langdon Hall—
unless the auditorium is being
used for concerts, etc.
A skit is being planned for
presentation in November for
raising funds to publish a news­paper.
Prospective staff mem­bers
should see members of the
Executive Committee.
Dues have been reduced to one
dollar a year, retroactive so that
anyone who has previously join­ed
the organization will owe no
dues until he has been a mem­ber
four quarters.
Holdsambeck said favorable
replies had been received from
congressmen from Alabama in
answer to the resolution sent by
the organization last quarter.
The resolution was asking rais­ing
of subsistence allowance $25
for single and $25 for married
veterans. Other veterans organ­izations
are taking similar action,
he added.
Members of t h e Veterans
Executive Committee are listed
below with their phone numbers.
Bill Dearman, 145-W; Lenny
Payne, 247; Dick O'Cain, 898;
Johnny Monroe, 247; Leland
Brown, 847-W; Harvey Piper,
834-J; Len Hensel, 869; C. Ray
Martin, 869; Vick Sansing, 245;
Herb Holdsambeck, 247.
Student Center
Student Center is open from 7
to 11 p. m. every Tuesday, Thurs­day,
Friday, and Saturday nights
for dancing, bridge, and fun.
Plans are under way for redeco-ration
and addition of a snack bar
and more games.
The Executive Cabinet passed a tentative motion Monday that
members of the sophomore class and above be allowed to vote in
the election of officers of the Executive Cabinet, editors and busi­ness
managers of The Plainsman and Glomerata. The cabinet offi­cers
include president, vice president, and secretary.
The motion was seconded and
carried by a nine to three vote.
The Cabinet, however, must re­consider
it as the constitution
states that "all amendments to
said constitution must appear in
an issue of The Plainsman one
week preceding their being voted
upon finally by the Cabinet".
A two-thirds vote of the
Cabinet upon its meeting next
Monday is required to pass the
amendment. All persons inter­ested
are invited to attend the
meeting on the second floor of
Samford at 5 p. m.
The qualifications of the per­sons
running for these positions
are not to be changed; however,
the president of the Cabinet and
the editors and business managers
of said publications are to be
members of the senior class at
the time their duties would start.
The vice president of the cabinet
must be a junior at the time he
takes office. The secretary must
be a member of the sophomore
class at the beginning of his first
quarter in that p sition.
Previously only seniors were
allowed to vote for the president
of the Cabinet, and for the edi­tors
and business managers of the
Glomerata and Plainsman. The
offices represent the student body
as a whole and it is felt that they
should be chosen by more than
just the senior class alone.
The vice president has been
elected by juniors as the secre­tary
of the Cabinet was by sopho­more
alone.

By Frank Sego
One of the oldest and most spectacular grid rivalries in
the Southeastern Conference will be rekindled on the sod
of Atlanta's Grant Field Saturday afternoon, as Auburn's
battered and bruised Tigers—still suffering from the shock
of Tulane's terrific "Heat Wave"—tangle with Bobby Dodd's
equally potent and tricky Yellow
Jackets of Georgia Tech. The
kickoff gun is scheduled to re­sound
over the Peach state at 2
o'clock EST.
Since the advent of the age-old
series in 1892, each of the
two teams have gained 22 wins
while five of the battles were
ending in ties. The Plainsmen
captured that nineteenth century
opener by smothering the En­gineers,
26-0.
Tidwell vs. Broyles
Feature attraction of the Tiger-
Tech entanglement will be the
anticipated aerial duel between
Auburn's crafty Travis Tidwell
and the Jackets' Frank Broyles.
In spite of a surging Tulane
forward wall, Tossin' Travis was
able to make eight of his 23
passes connect for a total of 80
yards under the sweltering sun
of New Orleans last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Broyles was not
being called on to do much chunk­ing
since his mates were too
busy gobbling up LSU's heaves
and engineering them into Tech
touchdowns as they spoiled the
Bengals' homecoming, 26-7, and
thus dumped them from the sac­red
ranks of the undefeated.
Engineer Rearworks Loaded
In addition to Broyles, Coach
Dodd has one of the most color­ful
array of backfield talent in
the nation with the dynamic line-plunging
ability of Allen "Dinky"
Bowen, Frank Ziegler, and John­ny
Mcintosh,, and the broken-field
weaving of George Mathews,
Pat McHugh, Jimmy Petit, Jimmy
Jordan, and Tom Carpenter, the
boy who snared more than his
share of LSU passes. Jack Bills
and Jimmy Southard will assist
Broyles with the heaving while
Ziegler, Williams, and Bob Davis,
the bruising tackle, are handling
the kicking.
Then there is a giant Georgia
Tech line that may be arsenic
for the Tigers as long as Davis,
"Rabbit" Jordan, Bill Healy, Paul
Duke, and Walt Kilzer are on
hand to dish it out. This same
wall held VMI's ground attack to
a net gain of one yard.
Jackets Impressive
Along with their LSU victory
of last week-end, the Jackets
have rolled up impressive scores
in smashing VMI and Ole Miss
after dropping a close one to Ten­nessee,
13-9, for their season's
opener.
After the Tech-Vol clash,
Coach Bob Neyland was quoted
as saying that Bobby Dodd was
undoubtedly the cagiest mentor
he had ever faced in that Dodd
would show him where he was
going to strike, actually convince
him that he would strike there,
then wheel his attack in exactly
the opposite direction.

the Atlanta classic:

MIXED CROWD GIVES TIGERS BIG SENDOFF
AS PERPLEXED PASSENGERS PEEP FROM TRAIN
Singing, prancing, yelling Auburn boosters—some 3000 includ­ing
Hodge Drake, students (some in evening dress taking a breather
from the ODK-Glomerata Beauty Ball), grammar school boys and
the Auburn Band—paraded to the depot Thursday night to give the
Tigers a sendoff to New Orleans.
The team had sidestepped the crowd, boarded the train outside
of Auburn. Students crowded the train when it stopped, but
couldn't get to the team . . . Ex-GI's made faces at an M.P. framed
in the window of one coach . . . Bewildered passengers, already in
bed, raised curtains to see what was happening . . .
War Eagle, Beat Tulane, Hold That Tiger . . .
Finally the train pulled out, team members crowded the plat­forms,
at each end of Pullmans with Tidwell dominating one, Coach
Voyles yelling from another, everybody happy . . . the Auburn
spirit was riding high . . . cheerleaders hoarse but supplemented
with plenty self-appointed assistants . . .train chugged away into
night, crowd turned back to tracks and started for home as a faint
whistle sounded from Loachapoka crossing.
VANDALISM ISN'T FUNNY, FOLKS
There was a 15-yard penalty against Auburn Thursday night at
the dee-pot. That's what outsiders who witnessed the train-window
breaking episode will think of us. Broken glass is dangerous. It's
unpleasant when cold winds whistle through broken window panes.
A porter had an unnecessary cleaning job. Perhaps it didn't put
the railway in the red . . .but it did API.

FEINBERG S
By Phyllis Stough
Have you ever wondered what
goes on in girls' dormitories? I
assure you that more happens
than you might think. In fact,
co-eds lead a very exciting lifes.
Perhaps some nights things are
quiet with very little noise to dis­turb
a girl as she studies. But
frequently,' things happen which
are more interesting than History,
Literature, a n d Trigonometry.
One Thursday night recently was
one of those nights when things
weres't so quiet.
The girls on the second floor
of Dorm IV had all withdrawn to
their respective rooms to indulge
in some idle chatter—or in the
better circles it would be called
getting down to studying.
I don't know what was going
on in all of the rooms, but, no
doubt, some very interesting ac­tivities
such as: beauty parlor
antics, discussing the favorite
boy friend, world affairs, etc.,
and maybe opening a book to
read.
However, I am familiar with
what was happening in one room,
studying (Yes, actually studying)
A girl and her room mate were
—when in came their suite-mate
unpinned! I don't mean that
her dress was falling off because
she had lost her safety pen, but
the pin to which I refer was one
of these fraternity pins you see
so many Auburn Coeds wearing.
The three girls then entered in­to
a serious conversation as to
why this event had occurred. But
about two minutes later, their
conversation was halted by the
entrance of another suite-made.
She didn't walk in. She floated
in, sat down on the bed and didn't
say a word, just sat there with
that ethereal look upon her face.
Then she burst out, "Isn't it
wonderful? I'm pinned."
Then ensued: "Oh, you are!
Who? Oh, how did it happen?."
Soooo — she proceded to give
out the desired information.
No sooner had she lapsed into
a sound reverie, still with that
heavenly look on her face, than
a clamor of ohs and ahs resound­ed
up the hall. Doors opened and
girls rushed to the other end of
the hall. There, in the midst of
the throng stood a girl, and upon
her third finger, left hand—you
guessed it—was an engagement
ring.
All this in one night! That's
dormitory life for you.

Lowery, Durham Are
Injured, Plane Accident
John M. Lowery, second quar­ter
freshman from Auburn, suf­fered
two broken ribs and minor
cuts and bruises as the result of
an airplane accident in the vicini­ty

morning. He was flying in a
Cub from the Auburn-Opelika
airport with Charlie Durham
when a sudden gust of wind
threw the plane out of control.
Durham, who is a second quar­ter
junior from Mobile, suffered
only minor bruises. He holds a

Broadcasts-Commercial or Public Service?
The radio editor of the Birmingham
News blamed Auburn in the Oct. 17 issue
for the failure of three Birmingham sta­tions
to broadcast games played by the
Auburn Tigers, stating that many fans
throughout the state could not tune in our
grid games.
Business deals are involved. It seems
that Birmingham stations tried to buy
rights to broadcast the games, but were
overbid by the Mutual Network station
WMGY in Montgomery. Now the low bid­ders
question the right of a state-owned
institution to sell this right.
Henry P. Johnston, of WSGN in Birm­ingham,
was quoted in the column:
"For a number of years we have car­ried
the Auburn games in conjunction with
WSFA in Montgomery. During the lean
years, we shared the cost of the games and
made them available to any other stations
in the state desiring to broadcast our
games just as did WBRC for the Alabama
games.
"It had been our intention to work out
a similar arrangement this year and on
July 26 I wrote to Carl Voyles, athletic
director of Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
who informed me that for $2000 he had
sold exclusive broadcasting rights to Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute games to a ra­dio
station in Montgomery and stated that
WSGN could make arrangements with this
radio station for handling the games.
"Since the present management of this
station took charge in 1936, it has been
our policy and practice to deal directly
with the university or college whose games
we hoped to broadcast. As a matter of
principle, we could not and will not deal
with another radio station any more than
we feel that any radio station should be
forced to deal with WSGN for permission
to broadcast games of a state-owned insti­tution.
We felt then and still feel that the
rights for the broadcast of the Auburn
games should rest in the hands of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute and not in the
hands of a single radio station.
"Finally, it was worked out that Station
WSGN might carry the games without
using the facilities of the Montgomery
station, but when We took up the matter
of feeding the games to other stations in
the state, as we had in the past, to assure
complete coverage for Auburn fans, we
received no reply from Mr. Voyles on
whether or not we would be permitted to
furnish our broadcasts of Auburn to sta­tions
in Gadsden, Anniston, Huntsville,
Decatur or Florence, if these stations
should want our origination.
"We believe that the alumni of Auburn
are being denied what rightfully belongs
to them and are sorry that we have not
been permitted to carry on as we have in
the past with the API games. If the policy
of API is changed n'ext season so that we
may carry the games on the same gen­eral
terms and basis as we have broadcast
them in past years, WSGN will be happy
to negotiate with Mr. Voyles for coverage
of the Auburn grid tilts."
Thad Holt of WAPI was also quoted:
"It always has been—and is. still—the
policy of Station WAPI to divide the time
equally between Alabama and Auburn,
but when Alabama Polytechnic Institute's
athletic director this year sold the games
exclusively to another radio station, WAPI
naturally lined up the complete Alabama
schedule. Later, when we were given per­mission
to carry the Auburn games—with
the exception of the Auburn-Georgia game
—with our own caller from the fields,
WAPI's schedule did not permit complete
coverage, and we had to 'follow the Ala­bama
games with a portion of Auburn.
We do carry the entire games on W4FM,
our frequency modulation station.
"WAPI always will be glad to divide the
football schedule of the station between
the two colleges if permitted to do so and
we shall pursue this policy in the future
unless excluded by Auburn."
These are facts. Facts handled to convey
a certain viewpoint. These are not all the
facts.
Permission was granted the Plainsman
editor to read the correspondence on this
matter, but since Coach Voyles had the
key to the file with him in New Orleans,
it was impossible before this went to press.
Therefore, we cannot present all the
facts. However, a phone call to Leland
Childs, manager of WMGY in„ Montgom­ery,
brought a little information.
Mr. Childs said the contract was given
him because Coach Voyles wanted wider
coverage than the Tigers have ever had.
Through his Montgomery station, he said,
the broadcasts are channeled to stations
in Florence, northwestern section; Opelika,
southeastern; Andalusia, southwestern;
Birmingham (Station WKAX), central;
and Montgomery (WMGY has half a miL
lion listeners).
Marion Hyatt, manager of the Auburn -
Opelika Station WJHO, said he broadcasts
the games by paying the small fee of five
dollars per game to WMGY in Montgom­ery.
Grapevine sources here reveal that the
Birmingham stations wanted broadcasting
rights but for a much smaller sum than
Mr. Childs offered. '
Perhaps this is not the first time radio
stations have competed against each oth­er.
It is unavoidable under the free enter­prise
system we have. Since radio's reason
for existence—at least the reason licenses
are granted—is public service, it seems a
pity that business principles would pre­vent
Birmingham stations from dealing
with the Montgomery station in order to
render the public service allegedly denied
some football fans.
Get Wise to Campus Politicians
Been browned yet?
This quarter is the time. Elections for
major campus positions will be held some­time
soon, and already politicians are
forming lineups and remembering to smile
at possible backers.
This is to urge students to follow the
election from the time the date is set by
the Student Executive Cabinet until the
final votes are counted. About half the
student body misses a lot of excitement
every three quarters because they don't
realize how interesting campaigns really
are.
Lineups form and different groups go
all out to put their candidate in office, to
bring glory to their organization—whether
the candidate is qualified or not. Candi­dates
have been known to admit the only
reason they ran was because of group
pressure.

OUTTA MY WAY—I'M LATE
What's a door for? Off hand, you might
say it is used to keep the weather out of
a building. It, on the other hand, is where
people pass in and out of a building—pro­viding,
of course that it is open.
Sometimes people find it hard to get in
and out of an open door at Auburn. Pity
the poor professor who had the reputation
of never having been late for a class. He
is running on schedule, but when he
reaches the building's entrance, he finds
a mot)—a goodly portion of API's 6300—
barring the way. Result—he's late, and
others trail to classes late, also.
So, what we should do is have a little
more consideration when it comes to sit­ting
on the steps and barring entrances.
It will save much confusion.
Something new in the way of school sup­port
for the football team was inaugu­rated
at Washington state this fall. A seven
part glee club consisting of several thous­and
voices will harmonize to cheer the
Huskies in the homecoming grid scrap
with California, Oct. 26. It is expected to
produce one of the most unique cheering
systems yet devised, and if the venture
proves successful, may be established as a
tradition.—ACP.

This and That By Ole Timer
It really did the Ole Timer's heart good to see the crowd at
the train station Thursday night. It looked like old times sure
enough. In fact it was a little too much like old times with
the raid on the train and the broken windows. We can see
no objection to making a tour through the train but the matter
of breaking windows is a little —
sent it to the Ole Timer with the
suggestion that it might fit in
his column. What prompted this
unparalleled burst of generosity
we don't know but we are glad
to receive contributions—it saves
us from having to write so much.

Perhaps this might be a good
time for re-telling Herbert Mar­tin's
old story of how and when
the Auburn battle cry of "War
Eagle" originated. It seems that
Adam and Eve were strolling in
the garden one fine afternoon
when suddenly Eve grabbed
Adam's arm and exclaimed, "Gee,
look at the eagle up there."
Adam's vision was not quite so
good as Eve's so his reply was
"Wa'r eagle at." with the passing
of years the "at" was dropped
and the cry became "War Eagle."
Of course each time this tale
was told someone else came along
and suggested that "eagle" \^as
dropped out of the phrase instead
of "at" and there originated the
name for the old Auburn ROTC
caps—"War Hat".

One of the local instructors,
suspecting that his students were
snoozing in class, dropped Jnto
double talk to catch them. His
talk went something like this:
"You then take the loose sec­tions
of fendered smolg and
gwelg them, being careful not to
overheat the brought tagooks. At
this time, extract and wampf
them gently for about time and
a half. Fwengle each one twice,
then dip them in, bliger. Other­wise
discoobilate the entire in­struments
in twetchels. Now, are
there any questions?"
"Yes," came a sleepy voice
from the rear. "What are twetch­els?"

And bombs explode no more
And we return to what we did
Before we went to war,

On the ladder of success

Feel like an awful mess.

And the uniform they're wear­ing

that almost all violations of this
rule come from visitors.

This week's major complaint
comes from Miss Sargassa Mc-
Phelps, freshman in Home Eco­nomics,
Tree Pruning and Co­ordinated
Ballistics, who writes,
"There ain't enough school spi­rit!"
Student McPhelps has been
unable to schedule any classes
under her pursued course due to
an overflow in each session and
is taking Basket-Weaving and
Indian Lore in the basement of
Broun Hall.
"It puts a plug in the old
gal's plans for graduating with
the class of '50, but I got no rea­son
to hurry particularly," states
Miss McPhelps in her ietter to
this column. Incidentally, this is
the fourth quarter she has taken
Basket-Weaving and Indian Lore
in the basement of Broun Hall.
We might mention in passing that
Miss McPhelps failed the course
during the first quarter, but since
then she has made magnificent
strides, winning t h e coveted
Wilksberfle P. Underdunk Schol­arship
Trophy last quarter for her
unequalled abilities in duplicating
the Sioux squaw's mating call.
Miss McPhelps' c o m p l a i nt
comes through her observations
about the campus where she finds
too little of the good ole Auburn
spirit.
"In my observations about the
campus, l find too little of the
good ole Auburn spirit," states
student McPhelps. She sincerely
believes that a better knowledge
of Auburn customs and tradi­tions
would foster the school
spirit to a superlative degree.
"I sincerely believe that a bet­ter
knowledge of Auburn cus­toms
and traditions would foster
the school spirit to a superlative
degree," she writes.
We have but little space to de­vote
to the advancement of such
knowledge; but we will attempt
to list a few of the oldest and
most deeply-rooted traditions.
Perhaps one of the oldest tradi­tions
is that of the honor system,
which is employed consistently in
the various departments during
test week. This system, in a moral
sense, is based principally on the
unfaltering trust (Hence "Honor
System") the student has in the
instructor's lenience during the
quiz period, thus enabling the
student to continue through the
exam unwatched and undisturb­ed
to marks of a sometimes sur­prisingly
high level. This can be
readily understood, as there is
nothing more nerve-wracking and
distracting than the hot breath
of the instructor down one's back
during a quiz.
This is strictly in a moral sense
of course. From a physical stand­point,
the system is a composite
of several outstanding factors:
(a) Placement of students in al­ternate
rows of Langdon Hall
three seats or more apart, (b)
dispensing a dozen different sets
of questions, (c) and prohibiting
any material (which might possi­bly
bear notes) from the immedi­ate
area of the exam or any­where
within 15 feet of the near
vicinity. I have even heard that
there is considerable talk of seg­regating
the men and women
students during exams and re­quiring
gym suits as standard
equipment.
I suppose this is due in part to
the recently detected smuggling

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Who $said price$ were high in
Auburn? Why, on the contrary, I
think they are very rea$onable.
Only ye$terday I a$ked for a
bottle of ginger ale at a filling
$tation acro$$ the railroad track$
—the man opened it and handed
it to me—$aid they were only
charging a dime for them. $aid I
could even get another one if I
wanted it. $aw $ome apple$ in
one of the grocery $tore$. One of
them co$t 17 cent$. I told the
lady I didn't like apple$ anyway;
so you can $ee for your$elf that
there's no use to complain about
the price$ in Auburn. They're
very rea$onable.

Sketches of Visiting Preachers
Show Variety of Sidelights
By Luther Smith
Religious emphasis week is
over, and those ministers who
gave us the week have returned
to their scattered groups of sheep
far from Auburn. But wherever
they go, not only their words,
but their characters, shall remain
engraved on our minds.
Each has an unusual life be­hind
him, a life which has made
the preacher better able than
anyone else to cope with present-day
situations.
* * *
Born in Dayton, Ohio, Dr. Dale
D. Dutton. pastor of the Central
Baptist Church of Providence, R.
I., possesses a fiery past—a past
composed not only of consuming
belief and faith, but a past com­posed
also of battle roar and bat­tle
fire.
In the last World War, Dr.
Dutton fought at Belleau Wood
with the United States Marine
Corps. That's the battle where
blood flowed like wine. Right in
the middle was the Fifth Regi­ment,
to which the ex-Marine
was attached.
While stationed at Quantico,
this Rhode Island preacher play­ed
with the Quantico Marine
football team.
After Dr. Dutton received his
mustering-out pay, he enrolled at
Wilmington College; upon gradu­ating
from that school, he con­tinued
his studies at the Andover-
Newton Theological School.
When asked what was the most
unique ceremony he had ever
conducted, Dr. Dutton mentioned
casually the marrying of a couple
in an air tournament. Dr. Dutton
said that he wasn't afraid during
the ceremony, but that when his
parishioners read about it in the
newspapers—well, there was the
rub.
This pastor's travels extend
over South America. He can
speak fluent Spanish and Ital­ian,
having been compelled to
learn the former during trips
through the American continent
of the Southern Hemisphere.
"Auburn audiences were com­plimentary
to the efforts put
forth by workers," replied Dr.
Dutton when interrogated con­cerning
the difference between
"northern" and "southern" reli­gion.
The South is more stable,
he intimated, whereas in the
North there is at present the in­flux
of so many foreign elements.
* * *
Dr. Marvin A. Franklin, who
held his first pastorate before
reaching the age of 17, is the
leader of one of the outstand­ing
congregations of Alabama
Methodism. In his thirteenth
year at large Highlands Metho­dist
Church, Birmingham, he is
setting a record for longevity of
service in a Southern Methodist
pulpit.
Since he attended secondary
school at Gainesville, it was ap­posite
that Dr. Franklin's first
pulpit should be in Georgia.
There it was, at Barnesville. Af­ter
having obtained his A. B.
from the University of Georgia,
he held pastorates in Atlanta and
Jacksonville.
Morning services at the High­lands
Methodist have been broad­cast
over WBRC for six years.
"Incidentally, I have been asked
to stand farther from the micro­phone,"
Dr. Franklin added.
The Methodist minister be­lieves
that every type of preach­ing
should be used: expository,
topical, and evangelical, all being
equally necessary. Dr. Franklin
has conducted missionary work
in Spanish-speaking Cuba, and
gathered an inkling of the Span­ish
language there.
Having conducted more than
1000 ceremonies, Dr. Franklin had
to think for a moment before de­ciding
upon that one which was
most bizarre. Then he told about
the simple and appropriate wed­ding
of Mickey Rooney and Bet­ty
Jane Raice.
* * *
Like father, like son. So with
Dr. Churchill J. Gibson, who
headed the religious services for
the Episcopal church. Dr. Gib­son's
father, and his father's fath­er
were rectors before him; natu­rally,
with such an antecedence,
a person would lean toward gos­pel
work.
Dr. Gibson lived a pungent
childhood in w e t Cincinatti.
There it was that his father held
a rectorate, and there it was that
the boy Churchill first learned to
distinguish between a sober "Cin-cinattian"
and a drunk "Cincinat-tian."
- "Not by personal experience,"
Dr. Gibson added, "but I tell you
the babies used to drink beer
out of bottles with nipples!"
After public school in Cincinat­ti
came further studies at Rich­mond.
Dr. G i b s o n continued
graduate work at the Theological
Seminary of Virginia. For two
years after receiving his diploma,
he taught school. Following that
interval, he chose the field which
had appealed so much to his fath­er
and grandfather: teaching the
gospel.
Teaching the gospel is right,
for Dr. Gibson is not one who
skims the cream off religion and
leaves it a flat subject. He be­lieves
not only in the preaching
angle, but also in teaching the
structure. To teach religion, a
man must of necessity possess
enough conviction to be convinc­ing.
"A b a l a n c e d ration of
thought served on a hot plate,"
he says. "Great men think fear­lessly
and come out with real
conviction."
The most singular ceremony
that Dr. Gibson has ever con­ducted
concerned the marriage of
two deaf and dump people. He
pointed out the biblical words
joining the two and instead of
asking the man: "Do you take
this woman to be your legally
w e d d e d wife," he a s k e d:
"Humph?" The man replied: "Uh
humph." (The woman had her
say later, I guess).
* * *
Dr. H. E. Russell, widely known
Presbyterian speaker and pastor
of t h e Trinity Presbyterian
Church of Montgomery, is one
reason why fear of the number
thirteen is pure superstition. He
is the thirteenth child in one of
Georgia's m o s t ' distinguished
families. Father of this national­ly
known brood was Chief Jus­tice
of the Georgia Supreme
Court for 26 years.
One of Dr. Russell's brothers is
now United States Senator from
Georgia, the youngest man ever
Page Five
The "Spotlights on Auburniles" staff, above, are heard twice

to hold that distinction. A sister
is the wife of a Congressman;
other members of the family
have likewise attained outstand­ing
recognition.
With such an auspicious back­ground,
Dr. Russell's views upon
state, national, and international
politics are at a premium. He be­lieves
that Talmadge "is going to
surprise people with a good gov­ernment"
for Georgia, and that
our relations with Russia are as
they should be, under the circum­stances.
The solution, he says, is
the promoting by the United
States of an "attractive, aggres­sive
democracy." Sell that idea
and there'll be peace, he declared.
Dr. Russell exhorted me not to
misquote him. He brought to at­tention
that biographical essay
concerning Ben Franklin, which
begins "born at Boston at an
early age," and ends "he married
a red-headed girl and discovered
electricity."
While a youth, Dr. Russell lived
upon a Georgia farm. Later he
attended Davidson College, where
he received the B. A. degree', and
a broken neck during his senior
year.
Dr. Russell was a c o l l e ge
wrestler and in a rough and tum­ble
match got into some kind of
tricky hold. As a result, he was
given a broken neck. During the
ensuing period of convalescence,
he decided to enter the ministry,
and received his M. A. from the
University of Georgia and his
D.D. from Columbia Theological
Seminary in Atlanta.
The scene of Dr. Russell's most
singular ceremony lies in Fruc-tal,
Brazil, There he tried to con­duct
a service, with its associated
rituals, in Portuguese.
Not only can Dr. Russell speak
Portuguese fairly well, but he has
also studied French. He has trav­eled
in every nation on this hem­isphere
except Colombia, Ven-zuela,
the Guianas, and several
Central American countries.
This was not his first visit to
Auburn. He spoke at the Auburn
We Been Abused
(Continued from page 4)
of "ponies" into forbidden areas.
Official action has not been tak­en
on this matter, so pencils and
clipboards will continue to be the
only requisites for the time being.
Also, the instructors usually
have quite a host of henchmen
who wander aimlessly about the
room swatting flies, glaring ac­cusingly
at everyone who shifts
positions or breathes deeply or
irregularly, rustling the papers
of more brilliant students (who
apparently place the answers in
the little blank spaces with a
rubber stamp and depart, leaving
their knowledge behind ,them) and
coughing unconvincingly realis­tic
as the hours drag by and a
few of the more conscientious
students remain transfixed in
their seats, showing no signs of
finishing at all.
Another of the old traditions is
that exclusively Ross Chemical
Laboratory odor. The first ap­pearance
of this odor has not
been recorded, but, supposedly, it
was included somewhere in the
architect's original plans. In a
recent investigation to determine
the origin of the ever-present
odor, members of the Chemistry
and Pharmacy Departments staff
were asked to cease all labora­tory
work for two days in an ef­fort
to discover its source. The
building continued to house the
odor and the source was never
determined.
It has been suggested that the
partitions be torn down and ex­cavations
made in the basement I
to enable further investigation.
No official action has been taken
as yet, and we will possibly smell
Ross Chemical Lab for some time
to come. It is reported that a
minor employee of the construc­tion
company which erected the
building noticed an offensive
odor at an early date which
seemed to come from the mixed
ingredients of the cement.
He mentioned the fact, suggest­ing
the possibility of inferior ma­terials,
and was forthwith dis­missed.
It was later discovered
that it was not due to materials
at all but to the oversight of the
crew in keeping the cement mix­er
clean. It seems that a big po­litical
convention in the near vi­cinity
had borrowed the machine
during Christmas week to assist
the refreshment committee in
beating seventy-two crates of
eggs in the concoction of a sup­ply
of egg-nog.
This explanation, although per­haps
a little vague, and not of­ficially
accepted by the local
authorities as a definite answer
to this problem, puts my mind a
good bit more at ease concerning
that odor.
j Anyhow, I get no monetary
'satisfaction out of this column, so
why beat my brains out over
something seventy-six percent of
the students won't read, and eight
per cent can't read, and 98.7 per
cent wouldn't understand any­more
about it if they did read it
should I write it, assuming, of
course, that I knew enough about
it to write it in the first place.

Annual Ag Fair Resumes Next Week
By Al Steinberg
Those of you who remember the ag fairs held in the fall of 1942
and practically every year before then will be glad to know that
the Ag Club will resume this annual event next week. The ag fair
is the oldest social event sponsored by any ag organization.
The ag club started the ball rolling by advancing nominations for
nine (oh boy!) females who are
contesting for the supreme place
as queen of the ball which will
conclude the festivities n e xt
Thursday night. The girls im­proved
last week's Plainsman by
a front page picture. Ag Club
prexy, Jerry Roden, Jr., is the
lucky stiff who escorts the queen.
Committees
From there committees were
appointed to organize the dirty
work involved. Elmo Renoll and
R. M. Fuller are in charge of
publicity; Tom Pitts, Gerald Way-lor,
and Albert McMahan, tickets;
Charles Kornegay, Tom Richard­son,
and Bledsoe Hereford, ex­hibits;
Jimmy Baker and John
Deloney, finances; decorations,
Ben Pickens and Waddy Thomp­son;
and Oak Parrish, Bob Sco-field,
and Robert Bedwell dance
and program arrangements.
At Alumni Gym
The last fair was held on the
lawn between Broun and Ross
with an informal dance on the
Ross plaza. In order to accommo­date
the thousand students en­rolled
in ag school as well as the
rest of Auburn, the dance will be
held in Alumni Gym and the fair
on the lawn in front of the gym.
Each ag department and organi­zation
plans to have an exhibit
within the gym. The lawn will be
covered with side shows and food
and amusement concessions. Such
contests as log-sawing and hog
calling are on the schedule.
All this activity is scheduled to
begin at 7:00 p. m., Oct. 31, with
the main program commencing at
7:30. The dance is semi-formal
lasting from 9:00 until 12:00. Girls
may get 12:30 permission to at­tend
the dance. Billy Williams
and company will be on hand
with appropriate instruments.

Trainees Under PL
Report Earnings
Trainees' Report of Earnings
must be completed and submit­ted
to Knox S. Long, Registra­tion
Officer, Veterans Adminis­tration,
213 South 8th Street,
Opelika, or may be submitted
through P. M. Norton, co-ordina-tor
of veterans affairs, Samford
Hall, API, not later than Nov. 5.
This report form was mailed
trainees with each check you re­ceived
for subsistence allowance
under Public Law 346, 78th Con­gress,
for the months of August,
September and October.
An Amendment to Public Law
346 recently enacted provides in
part " . . . such person receiving
compensation for productive la­bor
whether performed as a part
of their apprentice or other train­ing
on the job at institutions,
business, or other establishments,
or otherwise, shall be entitled to
receive such lesser sums, if any,
as subsistence or dependency al­lowances,
as may be determined
by the Administrator: Provided,
that in no event shall the rate of
such allowance plus the com­pensation
received exceed $175
per month for a veteran without
a dependent or $200 per month
if he has a dependent or depend­ents."
If one's total monthly income
from wages, salary or other com­pensation
from employment plus
subsistence allowance is not more
than $175 with no dependent, or
$200 with dependent or depend­ents,
(wife, child, or dependent
father or mother) the above pro­vision
of the law does not affect
one's right to receive this check.
Earnings must be reported on the
form provided, however.
If the wages, salary or other
compensation received from em­ployment
plus subsistence allow­ances
exceed $175 a month with
no dependent, or $200 with a de­pendent
or dependents, that part
of subsistence payment necessary
to bring the amount to $175 or
$200, whichever applies in one's
case, is the only amount due you
under the law. Any amount ac­cepted
in excess of this is subject
to recovery by the government.
The Veterans Administration
will endeavor to arrange the col­lections
of excess payments over
a period of time so as not to
work an undue hardship in any
case. In order that there may be
no doubt as to the rate of sub­sistence
allowance which one
may be entitled to receive, it is
important that a report be sub­mitted
to the Veterans Adminis­tration
showing the wages or oth­er
compensation received for em­ployment
for the months of Au­gust,
September, and October
1946 no later than Nov. 5, 1946.
Trainees are cautioned that
any person who makes a false
statement. wilfully or knowingly

Holy Smith Asks Help
For 'Running Wild'
Washington, D. C—The U. S.
Department of Student Safety
just issued an ultimatum to the
students attending Alabama Poly­technic
I n s t i t u t e (alias War
Eagle Tech) to the effect that the
show "Running Wild" will wreck
Langdon hall on Nov. 1. This
show is sponsored by the Vet
eran's Association and is pro
duced by Holy Smith. Two Eng­lish
teachers who tried to proof­read
the script have gone stark,
raving mad and have already
been transferred to the Universi­ty.
Just one glance at the pro­gram
will tell you that the whole
show is full of women, gags,
women, skits, women, maniacs
and women.
However, the property commit­tee
is having a little trouble try­ing
to collect all the necessary
lethal weapons:
Stuffed Alligator, one bushel
of corn cobs, brass door knocker,
one pair false teeth, three wigs
and one toupee, straight jacket,
crooked jacket.
Three hula skirts, 500 moth
eaten dollar bills, one crow bar,
empty bath tub, fifty-foot fire
hose, policeman's uniform and
mummie's case.
Talent Needed
There are still several open­ings
left for people with talent
who would like to be in "Run­ning
Wild". If you can sing,
dance, yodel, tight-rope walk,
juggle, laugh, sell peanuts, or call
"hawgs", you may be one of the
lucky people who get tomatoes
thrown at them on Nov. 1. No
life insurance policy is required.
Holy Smith asks that stu­dents
who can help with any of
these call him at 832 immediate­ly
if not sooner.
Engineering School
Enrolls Most
The School of Engineering
leads all others this quarter, with
1641 veterans.
The School of Science and Lit­erature
has second high enroll­ment,
with 1581 students, 1012 of
whom are veterans.
Freshman class has 2585 stu­dents,
sophomore 1774, junior
1008, and senior 696.
Ninety-seven students have en­rolled
in the graduate school.
One man and 209 women are
majoring in home economics. Six
of these are veterans.

WSSF Worker
To Visit Campus
Miss Eleanor Durham, a repre­sentative
of the World Student
Service Fund, will visit the cam­pus
on Oct. 21 and 22. The pur­pose
of her visit will be to ac­quaint
the students of Auburn
with the work of the WSSF.
Miss Durham graduated from
Northwestern University in June,
1946, a major in sociology. Dur­ing
her college career she was
very active in the Methodist Stu­dent
Foundation, YWCA, and
Red Cross. She possesses a fine
organizing ability and a high en­thusiasm.
These among other
things make her unusually quali­fied
for her work.
The World Student Service
Fund is a world-wide organiza­tion
whose purpose is to give aid
to students the world over. For
the relief, rehabilitation, and re­construction
of students and uni­versities
in the war-torn coun­tries,
a minimum of two million
dollars is needed this year. Half
of this amount will .be raised
from colleges in the United
States. A local drive to raise
funds in Auburn will be inaugu­rated
early next quarter.

Conference Rptball Stars
Clash in Weepnd Classic
Two of the Southeastern C o » r e n c e ' s outstanding stars
will be on display when the i l b u r n Tigers tangle with
Rambling Wreck on Grant F i e l c l t Atlanta Saturday after­noon.
The Tigers, boasting one of
s t a r s in Travis Tidwell will fa<
F r a n k Broyles, who sparked th;
win over undefeated LSU.
tifl nation's leading offensive
an outstanding passer in
fellowjackets in their 26-7
Tidwell, prior to the Auburn-
Tulane Game, led the nation in
three departments, net rushing,
passes completed and total com­bined
yardage. In leading Auburn
to a 27 to 7 win over St. Louis,
Tidwell connected 10 out of 18
passes attempted for 144 yards.
He ran 13 times for 70 yards for
a grand total of 214 yards.
Broyles, Georgia Tech's poten­tial
All-American, carries the
main offensive burden for Tech.
He is Tech's first string quarter­back,
a powerful broken field
runner, and also carries the main
kicking burden for the Yellow-jackets.
j
In Saturday's game with LSU
it is interesting to note that
Tech failed to fumble a single
time during the game and gained
272 yards rushing to LSU's 69
Tech's kicking average for Sat­urday's
game was 37.7 with the
yardage being lowered by kick­ing
out of bounds near the end
zone, whjle Auburn's kicking av­erage
for Saturday's game was
only 34.7.
If Big Wilson can start for Au-"
burn, the Tigers stock will soar
as Wilson is famous for his ex-ejent
handling of reverses' and
poach Voyles can overcome the

of the t>est exhibitions of

Picking The Bones
With Bill Dearman
STANDOUT LINEMAN
Despite the score of the Tiger-
Wave game, I am still of the
opinion that Auburn has a much
better team than the score would
indicate. Injuries, fumbles and
the hot-muggy weather combined
to help the Tigers on their road
to defeat. The Tigers still pack
plenty of power and the Tiger-
Yellow jacket battle Saturday
should be one of the • better
games of the week.
* * *
Once again Tidwell proved that
he is the standout Auburn play­er.
His outstanding work as the
Tiger safety man stopped several
certain Wave touchdowns. Tid­well
took all the Wave players
dished out and came out asking
for more. Had the Auburn ends
had a.little more stickum on their
fingers, the Tiger passing attack
would have given Tulane much
more trouble.

Fred Carley, Auburn's ace
track man, is still debating
whethgr to accept the invitation
to run in the Sugar Bowl track
meet. He has been extended an
invitation to participate but other
plans may interfere with his at­tending.

The Intramural touchfootball
season is well underway. Some
of the teams have flashed crack-erjack
running and passing at­tacks.
For an hour well, spent,
come out to Bullard field and root
for your favorite team. Games
start each afternoon at 4:15 and
are played on Tuesday, Wednes­day
and Thursday. A natural for
someone to sponsor would be an
independent-fraternity touchfoot­ball
game to determine the cham­pionship.
Last week Old Man Average
finally caught up with me. I miss­ed
four out of eight and it seems
I can never learn by experience
to keep my opinions to myself.
So here I go sticking my neck
(but not my cash) out again. Ga.
Tech over Auburn. (I think Tech'
packs too much experience and
power for Auburn) Alabama over
Kentucky( The same thing goes
for Kentucky, but they probably
will make it a battle) Tennessee
over Wake Forrest (but the Vols
had better not let up a minute)
LSU over Vanderbilt 1 think that
LSU will come roaring back) Ga.
over Furman (All I can say is
that Furman really goes out after
the rough ones) Arkansas over
Old Miss (Sad days have come
upon ole Miss) Mississippi State
over. Tulane (This will probably
be the best game in the South­eastern
Conference.) N. C. State

30 Men Report For Tiger
Grunt and Groan Squad
Only thirty men have answered
the call for Varsity • wrestling,
stated Coach "Swede" Umbach,
Friday afternoon. With only two
1945 letter-men returning, posi­tions
for the varsity are wide
open and more men are urged to
try out for the Varsity squad.
The Varsity squad will be al­most
entirely made up of green
men and Coach Umbach issues a
special call for all ex-service
men who have had some wrest­ling
experience. Coach Umbach
also stated that he would wel­come
any man who is interested
in the grunt and groan game.
The return of Tony Martinez,
128 pounder and James (Jug)
Pate, heavyweight, is the only
bright spot to be found in the
Grunt and Groan picture. With
opposing teams loaded with ex-service
men, the Tiger mat artist
face rough competition in con­ference
competition.
Two additions to the Tiger
wrestling schedule are: Davidison
here on Feb. 15 and Virginia
Military Institute here on Feb.

Frnka's Boys Down Our Tigers 32-0
As 35,000 Fans Melt in Sugar Bowl
By Bill Dearman
Before 35,000" sweltering fans, Tulane's big Green Wave rolled
over the^Auburn's Tigers 32-0 at New Orleans Saturday. The Wave
big forward wall constantly rushed through to stop the Tigers backs
before they could get started and an alert Tulane Pass defense nulli­fied
the Tiger passing attack.
Sophomore tackle Harold Lannon (above) has been attract­ing
attention since his bruising game against the St. Louis
Billikens. A native of Lebanon, Term., he is 6-2 and weighs 205
pounds. He has the size, speed, and strength to become one of
the South's foremost lineman.
on' an end sweep to score the first
tally for Auburn. Irby drove over
from the 3 yard line during the
second quarter to give Auburn a
13 to 6 lead.
The Baby Bulldogs roared back
in the second half with a blister­ing
aerial attack to push over
three touchdowns in quick suc­cession
to walk away with a Baby
Tiger Skin to add to their col­lection.
After a slow starting first quar­ter,
Tulane's heavy line and Loui-sana's
hot muggy weather began
to tell on the men from the Plains
and the Tulane attack gained
momentum.
Tulane tallied in each quarter
with the first touchdown being
set up when Fortier ran back as
Auburn kick for 15 yards. The
hard running Wave backs moved
the ball down to Auburn's 25.
After moving down to the Au­burn
20, the Waves drew a fifteen
yard clipping penalty, Keeton, the
Wave passing artist, faded back
and fired a long pass to Hieder,
who raced down field for the
touchdown. ,
Tulane scored again after tak­ing
Auburn's kick on their 45 and
marching down to Auburn's 27.
Van Meter and Price teamed up
to take the ball down to Auburn's
It) where Van Meter hit left
tackle for the second wav"e touch­down.
Tulane flashed one of the hard­est
charging lines to be found in
the Southeastern conference. The
big wave line clearly spelled the
difference between the two
teams. TidweU's excellent play
as Auburn's safety man kept the
score from climbing even higher
than it did. Tidwell made a total
of 18 tackles while, playing safe­ty
man, with each tackle being
the last chance Auburn players
had at the flying Wave backs.
Razzle-Dazzle Play
In Football League
With co-eds shouting encour­agement
fraternity touch football
opened the current season on Bul­lard
Field last week. The fine
blocking and passing done by all
teams gave promise of some Teal
football as the season progresses.
SPE, last year's campus cham­pion,
slipped by a tough OTS
team by the score 7-6.
SN nosed out AGR by a score
of 14-6 with Liles doing the pass­ing
and Gaines handling the
blocking and doing most of the
receiving.
PKA, the cellar team in soft-ball,
showed they had power on
the gridiron as they slaughtered
SP 20-0.
KS got off to an early lead over
PKT to win the game 6-0. A long
pass to Shy in the first quarter
was good for the touchdown and
all that the KS team needed for
a victory. .. .
The most thrilling game of the
first week of touch football was
the KA nosing out LCA. Through­out
the game both teams fought
hard with the score ending 0-0.
Playing off the tie in an over­time
period KA won by gaining
40 yards to their opponent 18.
The following week OTS left
the field with a victory over
AGR 6-0.
PKA came back to make it two
in a row by beating AP 6-0. It
was a long pass from Dick Was-

From the Plains
By Richard Bjurberg
Can the United States get along
with Russia? This question is the
No. 1 topic of discussion in the
world today. There are many peo­ple
who believe that unless the
affirmative can be answered to
this question the world will be
plunged into a third World War.
Some persons believe that the
conflict is not so much between
two types of government, as
Communism and Democracy, as
it is a conflict between Capitalism
and Communism. That is to say,
the age old economic problem of
state ownership of land and in­dustries
as compared to private
ownership of land and industries.
Other people claim that the
conflict between the two nations
exists because of an apparent at­tempt
by both nations to control
the world either through invested
interests or by spreading their
types of government. Whatever
the cause of conflict may be, it is
unfortunate that we are compell­ed
to admit that misunderstand­ings
do exist between these two
great nations.
We have completed a war to­gether.
The United States and
Russia allied themselves to help
defeat two great powers — Ger­many
and Japan. It was expedi­ent
that this alliance should have
taken place. Whether Russia
could have won the war against
Germany without the help of
the United States or we could
have won the war against Japan
' without Russia's aid is not im­portant.
The fact that the enemy
was destroyed is important. If
it was expedient to ally ourselves
with Russia to win a war, then
why is it not just as expedient
to have a peaceful understanding
with the U.S.S.R.?
In W e n d e l l Willkie's O ne
World, we find that he believed
that the United States could live
peaceably with Russia. The form­er
United States Ambassador to
Russia, Joseph Davies, felt that
friendship toward Russia was
possible and imperative. Drew
Pearson, the columnist, in recent
weeks has called for a "five year
plan for peace" with the Soviet
Union. His plan has asked for "an
exchange of information, stu­dents,
musical and theatrical pro­grams",-
and the permitting of an
American radio station and news­paper
to be operated in Moscow
with a reciprocate Russian sta­tion
and newspaper in New York.
Such equal exchanges would lead
to better understanding a nd
eventual diplomatic harmony be­tween
"Uncle Sam" and the "Rus­sian
Bear".
However, there are many peo­ple
in this country who believe
that cooperation with Russia is
impossible. Recently the French
agency quoted Secretary of Com­merce
Harriman as saying that
he believed the "capitalist and
communistic systems" could not
exist together.
He is further quoted as believ­ing
that Premier Stalin is of the
same conviction and as a "con­sequence
of that conviction decid­ed
to adopt a. policy line of tend­ing
to thwart by all means every­where
the efforts of the United
States and Great Britain in world
political problems." The agency's
correspondent, Jean Davidson,
quoted Harriman as saying "a
short time before he died, Roose­velt
arrived at the same conclu­sion
as that of Moscow."
The Paris Peace Conference has
concluded. The diplomats of the
world are making their way to
New York for the opening of the
United Nations' General Assem­bly.
At Paris continuing clashes
existed between the American
and Russian delegations. There
seemed to be an inadequate
ground for mutual understanding.
The Yugoslavian question with
its complex Trieste problem
strained Russian-American rela­tions
almost to the breaking
point. Last Friday night, Secre­tary
of State Byrnes stated in a
radio address that the goal of the
State Department was coopera­tion
with Russia, not continued
concessions. The United States
would uphold and defend the
principles of the United Nations
charter. He said our Russian poli­cy
was one of patience and firm­ness.
In a recent poll taken by the
American Institute of Public
Opinion, 78% of the American
. people polled backed the Byrnes
policy toward the "hammer and
the sickle."
However, there are some peo­ple
that feel the Byrnes policy is
saber rattling and that it will
lead us into a war with the Sov­iets.
Henry Wallace, ex-Secretary
of Commerce, is the leader of the
opinion that our policy toward
Russia should be one of leniency.
For this opinion he left the Presi­dent's
Cabinet to work for peace.

FIVE MAJORETTES
GOING TO ATLANTA
Five majorettes, selected last
week, will appear with the Au­burn
Band for'the first time Sat­urday
at Grant Field, Atlanta,
where the Tigers meet Georgia
Tech's Yellow Jackets.
All five have had experience
with batons. Kelda Ward, fresh­man
in music, attended Shawnee
Mission High School, Kansas
City, and won a first division
rating in the ninth region in Na­tional
Regional Music contests.
"Bunny" Bennett, sophomore
in nursery education from Ope-lika,
was formerly the Opelika
Band.
Zilpha Ann Draper, sophomore
in home economics, marched with
the Lawrence County H i gh
School band in Moulton.
Danny Sue Gibson, sophomore
in applied art, learned to swing
the baton at Tunica County High
School in Clayton, Miss.
Nancy Young, freshman in ap­plied
art, was formerly with the
Coffee High School Band at
Florence.

KS rolled to victory once more
by beating SC 20-0 to remain
among the undefeated, unscored
on teams.
SN proved they had what it
takes by trotting a well balance
team on the field against the
ATO's; after both teams battling
back-and-forth the SN finally
let loose with their touchdown
play to win by a score of 6-0.
The same afternoon TC scored
twice while the PDT team could
only tally once final score TC 12
PDT 6.
LCA eased out PDT by a score
of 6-0.
Joe Rollins and his SAE team
was too powerful for the SPE
team as the SAE's won a hard
fought battle 12-6.
PKT who has been beaten
once bowed again to the hard
fighting KA team by a score of
2-7. Early in the game Farish of
PKT rushed the passer to tag him
behind the goal line for two
points. Before many minutes tick­ed
off on the clock KA's had
scored by a long pass then made
the extra point good.
One of the thrilling games of
the week was the DSP-SP con­test.
Both teams were fighting
hard and praying for a break but
it did not come until late in the
game when John Wordly of DSP
intercepted a SP pass and ran for
a touchdown. The DSP team
made the extra point good for a
final score DSP 7-SP 0.
'Wheels' Clash Cogs
And Cabinet Puts Off
Motion On Voting
By Cotton Watson
On Monday, Oct. 21, as the sun
sank slowly over the sleepy spires
of t h e "Loveliest Village" and the
Samford clock boomed five, a
dozen of the campus "wheels"
rolled into a dingy room high in
the Smoe-inhabited region of
Samford for the regular meeting
of the Student Executive Cabinet.
Three lusty raps of the gavel
brought the meeting to order and
for the moment silence the wails
of sorrow concerning the past
week-end. Under the guiding
hand of Bronze Youmans the
mighty machinery of the student
government of Auburn threw it­self
in gear and proceeded to
clash' with the business at hand.
Due to a called meeting on Oct.
14 there was very little business
to come before the cabinet and
there were, consequently, very
few broken bones and very little
bloodshed.
The "wheels" then clashed cogs
over a motion raised to change
the voting procedure for the edi­tor
and business manager of the
student publications and the pres­ident,
vice president, and secre­tary
of the Executive Cabinet.
Just as the.motion was getting in
gear a legal technicality was
brought up causing the motion to
be put off until the next meeting.
Further debate concerning- elec­tions
for Miss Auburn resulted in
absolutely nothing and the meet­ing
adjourned, by unanimous ap­proval
of all present.
between the two nations.
It is difficult to evaluate which
course of action the United States
should pursue toward Russia.
There are certain things which
must be done before a peaceful
understanding between the two
nations will exist.
First of all, suspicion and mis­understanding
of each other must
be erased. Cooperation must be
maintained.
Secondly, Russia and the Unit­ed
States must have freedom
from fear of military aggression
and political intrigue.
Thirdly, rash and ^misleading
propaganda should cease to ap­pear
in the newspapers and over
the radio networks of both na­tions.
If these three principles
would be faithfully executed, a
great stride toward better rela­tions
between the United States
and Russia could be made.
