WRECK / TECH! WE'RE DOWN Vu BUT NOT OUT TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol. LXXI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, Number 23 Tigers On Rebound For Tech Classic Bengals Face Jackets In Atlanta Saturday Ticket Sales End Thursday; Married Students Get Two; Others One Each Tickets to the Auburn-Georgia Tech game are on sale at the Field House now. Sales will continue until 5 p. m. Thursday, and none will be sold at Grant Stadium Saturday. Student tickets are $1 with activity books. Married students only will be sold guest tickets. The price is $3.60. Names of married students 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. Efforts are being made by the' 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. ON THE CAMPUS Pajama-Clad Paraders to Practice 'Wreck Tech' Cheer at Thursday Rally That's the cry — Wreck Tech, Wreck Tech — that is going to ring in Auburn tomorrow night when the annual Georgia Tech Pajama Parade-Pep Rally gets started at 7:15 from Samford Terrace. The Auburn Band, led by majorettes, will parade through town and then to the stadium. All freshmen are required to wear rat caps and pajamas—or gowns, bath robes, or long handles—and many upperclassmen are expected to follow suit. Women freshmen will wear pigtails and rat caps. The fighting Auburn Spirit has brought victory against many a superior team, and the cheering squad is going all-out with the team again this week. It can be done, so let's WRECK TECH.

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. Probable starting lineups for the Atlanta classic: Auburn Ga. Tech LE Jordan, R. LT Davis (C) LG Healey C Duke RG Pope RT Slaten RE Kilzer Faulk Lannom Rose Pharr (Co-C) Fulmer Cornelius McClurkin (Co-C) Gendusa or McDaniel Tidwell Kovacic or Wilson Brause or Inman QB LHB RHB FB Broyles Mathews McHugh Bowen, A.

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. — ™ " ' i—j»n«mi Page Two THE P L A I N S M AN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 ALPHA GAMMA RHO TO GIVE PINK ROSE FORMAL Doris Smith Leading With Fred Sumners ' Alpha Gamma Rho will give its annual Pink Rose Formal, Friday night, Oct. 25, in Alumai Gym.

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. Chi Epsilon Taps Ten Chi Epsilon, the honorary Civil Engineering Fraternity, tapped ten men last Friday night at the joint meeting of the student chapter and the state section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

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 of Lake Ogletree Saturday 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 student license. Lowery, who holds a private license, is confined to his home at 326 South Gay street.

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. ITw PlaUidmatv Published weekly by the students of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

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.

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. This particular piece is called The Reconversion and was written by Edward Blumenthal. a too much. Let's take it a little easier on property destruction. * * * 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?" * * * "Stringbean" Jennings, editor of the Tiger Rag, stole something from another mag—in this case, Yank—but instead of putting it in the aforementioned Rag he When bugles sound their final notes And bombs explode no more And we return to what we did Before we went to war, The sudden shift of status On the ladder of success Will make some worthy gentlemen Feel like an awful mess.

The Exchange Post By Phil Bookman In order for a veteran to get married, and still stay in good standing with the college, he will have to justify his actions to a committee of deans, have parental consent, and must assure the deans that adequate housing arrangements have been made. An application will not be considered unless he is in good scholastic standing with the college. Permission will not be granted to any woman who is not in her senior year. These rules are in effect at Oberlin College, Ohio. Here's an interesting little ditty which appeared in the Flor Ala.: I KNOW that IF YOU WERE THE ONLY GIRL, I'd say SURRENDER but I DON'T KNOW E N O U G H ABOUT YOU. SHOULD I TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU?

Please pass the bottle . . . out. A no-drinking-at-football games rule has been put into effect at LSU. This rule has been observed conscientiously by LSU students in past years and it is thought that almost all violations of this rule come from visitors. Students at Purdue U. were successful with their s t r i ke against the raise in price to one dollar for a haircut. Their slogan was, "At a buck a throw, Let it grow." * * * LSU students are really burning the midnight oil this semester. Because of crowded conditions on the campus, night classes have been initiated. Ching Chow says, "Eating little and speaking little can hurt no man". WE BEEN ABUSED By Charles A. Walton 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 (Continued on page 5) Smiles and Great Men By BABs Ladies aren't gentlemen: Auto License Examiner: "Now suppose you are approaching an intersection light and the signal goes green, and just then a pedestrian decides to go across. What will you do?"

Your$ truly, Jimmy Coleman WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 T H E P L A I l f S M AN 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 a week over station WJHO from 9:30 lo 10 p. m. Monday and Wednesday. They are, left to right, Jim Bradley, Paul Owen, Bob Wood, Tex She well, and Len Hensel. 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.

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. KS*8"' H.LHOIMAN.

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 as to wages, salary or other com- 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.

This statement is required of all veterans who are in training and who have applied for the payment of subsistence allowance. The amounts to be reported include wages, salary, commission or bonus payments, or other income received by a veteran by reason of his employment whether self-employed or otherwise and regardless of whether such employment is related to his training. Unless the above is fully complied with subsistence payments will automatically be discontinued on Nov. 6, 1946. Three NROTC Men May Try For Academy The Navy department recently requested Pres. L. N. Duncan to nominate three members of the Naval ROTC unit at API to take the competitive examinations for 10 appointments to the U. S. Naval Academy as Midshipmen. Any member of the Naval ROTC Unit who is interested in taking this competitive examination may obtain further information from the Professor of Naval Science, Room 103, Broun Hall, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala. 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.

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.

' Lee James We Don't Sell Cheap Merchandise— But We Do Sell Good Merchandise Cheap DOWN ON RAILROAD AVENUE OPELIKA, ALABAMA 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.

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. 22. BABY TIGERS BOW TO GEORGIA BEES The Baby Bulldogs of Georgia uncorked a powerful aerial attack during the last half Friday night to down the Auburn Baby Tigers 27 to 13. Auburn's powerful running attack ground two touchdowns during the first half to lead Georgia 13 to 6. Briggs raced 30 yards 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.

ALWAYS BETTER-BETTER ALL WAYS Page Eight THE P L A I N S M AN CDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946*. - 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.

Zilpha Ann Draper, sophomore in home economics, marched with the Lawrence County H i gh School band in Moulton.

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. Automobile for Sale: Supercharged Cord Convertible.

OCR Transcript | WRECK / TECH! WE'RE DOWN Vu BUT NOT OUT TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol. LXXI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, Number 23 Tigers On Rebound For Tech Classic Bengals Face Jackets In Atlanta Saturday Ticket Sales End Thursday; Married Students Get Two; Others One Each Tickets to the Auburn-Georgia Tech game are on sale at the Field House now. Sales will continue until 5 p. m. Thursday, and none will be sold at Grant Stadium Saturday. Student tickets are $1 with activity books. Married students only will be sold guest tickets. The price is $3.60. Names of married students 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. Efforts are being made by the' 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. ON THE CAMPUS Pajama-Clad Paraders to Practice 'Wreck Tech' Cheer at Thursday Rally That's the cry — Wreck Tech, Wreck Tech — that is going to ring in Auburn tomorrow night when the annual Georgia Tech Pajama Parade-Pep Rally gets started at 7:15 from Samford Terrace. The Auburn Band, led by majorettes, will parade through town and then to the stadium. All freshmen are required to wear rat caps and pajamas—or gowns, bath robes, or long handles—and many upperclassmen are expected to follow suit. Women freshmen will wear pigtails and rat caps. The fighting Auburn Spirit has brought victory against many a superior team, and the cheering squad is going all-out with the team again this week. It can be done, so let's WRECK TECH. Cardinal Key Elects * Williamson President Helen Williamson and Mildred Chambliss were recently elected president and vice president of Cardinal Key, senior honor society. Other new officers are Jean Clark, secretary; Wynn Hall, treasurer; and Mary Ann Vick, librarian.

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. Probable starting lineups for the Atlanta classic: Auburn Ga. Tech LE Jordan, R. LT Davis (C) LG Healey C Duke RG Pope RT Slaten RE Kilzer Faulk Lannom Rose Pharr (Co-C) Fulmer Cornelius McClurkin (Co-C) Gendusa or McDaniel Tidwell Kovacic or Wilson Brause or Inman QB LHB RHB FB Broyles Mathews McHugh Bowen, A. Latin-American Club Elects Jose Soler \ New officers of the Latin- American club, to serve fall and winter quarters, are Jose Soler, Porto Rico, president; Angel del Hierro, Cuba, vice president; Martin Lleras, Cuba, secretary; Rudy Escobar, Cuba, vice secretary; Francisco Paillie, Columbia, treasurer; Bill Favor, Birmingham, vice treasurer; and Humber-to Diaz de Arce, Cuba, propaganda. 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. — ™ " ' i—j»n«mi Page Two THE P L A I N S M AN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 ALPHA GAMMA RHO TO GIVE PINK ROSE FORMAL Doris Smith Leading With Fred Sumners ' Alpha Gamma Rho will give its annual Pink Rose Formal, Friday night, Oct. 25, in Alumai Gym.

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. Chi Epsilon Taps Ten Chi Epsilon, the honorary Civil Engineering Fraternity, tapped ten men last Friday night at the joint meeting of the student chapter and the state section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The tappees are, Keith Curtis, junior from Birmingham; Gerald D. Bernett, senior from Good-water; George Doud, senior from Tuscaloosa; James J. O'Neill, senior from Rome, Ga.; Joe H. Appleton, junior from Eufaula. William T. Tackett, junior from Booneville, Miss.; James E. Ray, junior from Eufaula; Authur D. Bradfield, junior from LaGrange, Ga.; C. H. Cobleigh, junior from Chattanooga, Tenn.; and RogeV C. Graham, junior from Chicago, 111. New members* are elected to Chi Epsilon on the basis of scholarship, practicality, sociability, and character. The initiation will take place later in the fall quarter. 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 of Lake Ogletree Saturday 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 student license. Lowery, who holds a private license, is confined to his home at 326 South Gay street.

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. ITw PlaUidmatv Published weekly by the students of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

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.

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. This particular piece is called The Reconversion and was written by Edward Blumenthal. a too much. Let's take it a little easier on property destruction. * * * 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?" * * * "Stringbean" Jennings, editor of the Tiger Rag, stole something from another mag—in this case, Yank—but instead of putting it in the aforementioned Rag he When bugles sound their final notes And bombs explode no more And we return to what we did Before we went to war, The sudden shift of status On the ladder of success Will make some worthy gentlemen Feel like an awful mess.

The Exchange Post By Phil Bookman In order for a veteran to get married, and still stay in good standing with the college, he will have to justify his actions to a committee of deans, have parental consent, and must assure the deans that adequate housing arrangements have been made.

This rule has been observed conscientiously by LSU students in past years and it is thought that almost all violations of this rule come from visitors.

Their slogan was, "At a buck a throw, Let it grow." * * * LSU students are really burning the midnight oil this semester.

Walton 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 (Continued on page 5) Smiles and Great Men By BABs Ladies aren't gentlemen: Auto License Examiner: "Now suppose you are approaching an intersection light and the signal goes green, and just then a pedestrian decides to go across. What will you do?"

Your$ truly, Jimmy Coleman WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946 T H E P L A I l f S M AN 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 a week over station WJHO from 9:30 lo 10 p. m. Monday and Wednesday. They are, left to right, Jim Bradley, Paul Owen, Bob Wood, Tex She well, and Len Hensel. 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.

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. KS*8"' H.LHOIMAN.

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 as to wages, salary or other com- 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.

This statement is required of all veterans who are in training and who have applied for the payment of subsistence allowance. The amounts to be reported include wages, salary, commission or bonus payments, or other income received by a veteran by reason of his employment whether self-employed or otherwise and regardless of whether such employment is related to his training. Unless the above is fully complied with subsistence payments will automatically be discontinued on Nov. 6, 1946. Three NROTC Men May Try For Academy The Navy department recently requested Pres. L. N. Duncan to nominate three members of the Naval ROTC unit at API to take the competitive examinations for 10 appointments to the U. S. Naval Academy as Midshipmen. Any member of the Naval ROTC Unit who is interested in taking this competitive examination may obtain further information from the Professor of Naval Science, Room 103, Broun Hall, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala. 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.

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.

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.

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. 22. BABY TIGERS BOW TO GEORGIA BEES The Baby Bulldogs of Georgia uncorked a powerful aerial attack during the last half Friday night to down the Auburn Baby Tigers 27 to 13.

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.

ALWAYS BETTER-BETTER ALL WAYS Page Eight THE P L A I N S M AN CDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1946*. - 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.

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.

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. Automobile for Sale: Supercharged Cord Convertible.
