through the house into the wee
small hours for on their mantel
stood the coveted Homecoming
Cup awarded by Blue Key to the
fraternity having the most origi­nal
and appropriate Homecoming

Friday Is Deadline
Glomerata Beauty
Ball Selections
Deadline for the choice and ac­ceptance
of Glomerata Beauty
Ball candidates is Friday, a
spokesman for the yearbook of­fice
said yesterday.
ODK honor society will be joint
sponsor.
The number of candidates has
been changed from 80 to 60 so
judging may be completed at the
ball. Each fraternity will select
one each; sororities, two each;
large dorms, two each; small
dorms, one each; AIO, three;
ODK, two; Glomerata, four; and
Plainsman, two.
Twenty candidates w i l l be
chosen and their pictures will ap­pear
in the beauty section of the pappus
1947 Glomerata.
To avoid confusion, it is sug­gested
that organizations notify
the beauty of her selection. If she
has already accepted a nomina­tion
from another source, she will
decline the second . / ,
burn band to accompany the
team to Birmingham Friday.
While the Tigers were handing
the Purple Hurricane a 26 to 6
licking Saturday the St. Louis
Billikens were bowing to Mis­souri
19 to 14.
Scouts have brought back re­ports
that the Billikens have put
together a fancy aerial game with
Jack Rooney doing an outstand­ing
job of hurling the pigskin.
The main plug in the Billiken
ground attack is Bill Dolan, a
fleet-footed halfback who racked
up two runs of 45 and 75 yards
respectively against Missouri Sat­urday.
Another big gun in the
Billiken attack is Tom Shea, a
200 lb. fullback. The Billikens
have one of the heaviest lines
that the Tigers will meet this
year although the two opposing
backfield averages are identical
at approximately 180 pounds each.

KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH RUSSIA? THEN
IRC IS FOR YOU
Perhaps you do not like the
way things are going in the
world. Perhaps you have a solu­tion
for all the problems con­fronting
the diplomats. Perhaps
you would have had von Papen
and the other two hanged along
with the rest. Perhaps you think
you know just what should be
done about Russia.
There are "perhaps" many who
would like to have all their
doubts about the above questions
cleared up. The International Re­lations
Club will give you a
chance to air your views and to
enlighten the rest of the mem­bers.
You might get an idea or
two by hearing the discussions.
The first meeting of the IRC
will be at 7 p. m. tomorrow in
NB 115. All API students are
eligible for membership.

Plainsman Continues
As Weekly This Fall
The Publications Board decided
that The Plainsman should be
continued as a weekly publication
at its meeting Thursday in the

Brown, business manager, pointed
out.
The Board voted to allow Bill
Dearman, sports editor of The
Plainsman, and Hal Marsh, sports
editor of the Glomerata, attend
out-of-town football games at the
expense of the publication repre­sented.
The editor and business man­ager
of The Plainsman, Irene
Long and Jimmy Brown, the edi­tor
and business manager of the
Glomerata, Starr Prolsdorfer and
Byrd Lee, and John Newton Ba­ker,
director of the ^API News
Bureau, were selected as API
representatives to the Associated

Homecoming Was Never Like This!
By Jimmy Coleman
Homecoming—and a very successful "one at tha'f—is overj
and many an old grad has left A u b u r n with a heavy head but
memories of joyous happenings of the past. • • "-
Boy, oh, boy—hWat a game! The Auburn line, Tidwell
and the other backs really showed the crowd t h a t the Tigers
are a first-rate ball club. One
sportswriter is already plugging
Travis for All-SEC, and if the
team continues the way it did
Saturday there will be several big
grid wheels by Clemson-meeting
time.
Three cheers for the cheer­leaders
for turning in a grand job
b e f o r e 'a none-too-enthusiastic
crowd. The 12,000 sunbathed fans,
while not watching the game
spent many a glance at little Joy
Justice exhibiting her rhythmi­cal
hip motions to the peppy
march tunes. One new freshman
related that if Wyleen Hill -had
b e e n .dubbed .."Wiggles", . Joy
"was just plain 'wicked'."
The State Highway Patrol, city,
and campus police are to be com­mended
for an excellent job of
keeping the traffic flow moving
smoothly.
If you sat near the press box,
the piercing voice you heard was
that of Elmer Salter, energetic
API sporfs publicity director, who,
was identifying players for some'
twenty writers from AP,, _ UP,
WU, and the leading papers. .
The Auburn Band, appearing
for the first time in its colorful
new uniforms, turned in a good
marching and playing perform­ance.
Bedie Bidez's boys will im­prove
more with time.
Ah, the pilot who dropped the
leaflets after the game should en­ter
the bomb-dropping contest at
Saturday's air show. In case you
didn't get the message—it was an
"air-va-tation to open house at
the Baptist Church".
Last but not least—the advent
of Miss Homecoming (Marian
Gray) at half time was. greeted by
Whatta Game! Tidmore
Views it from Ambulance
The Furman-Auburn game
probably brought more real div­ersion
to Wallace Tidmore, 14-
year old Auburnite, than to any
seasoned member of the student
body or alumni.
Wallace, who has been in a
cast with a hip injury since Aug.
28, witnessed the game from an
ambulance parked beside the
west stands. He was the guest of
the alumni and athletic associa­tion.
Young Tidmore is the son of
Mrs. Wallace Tidmore, reception­ist
in the President's office.

Delta Zeta Plans
Scholarship Awards
At the first chapter meeting, of,
the fall quarter the Delta Zeta
Sorority made plans to award a
cup each year to the most out­standing
member in scholarship
and leadership.
Another cup will also be
awarded each year to the pledge
who makes the most outstanding
scholastic record.
The annual presentation of
these cups was proposed at the
Delta Zeta National Convention
earlier this summer when schol­arship
was stressed as being one
of the most important goals of
the sorority.
The awarding of these cups
will be made at the end of each
school year by a committee of
three sorority members and two
alumnae.

On The Proposed Boswell Amendment
The much debated Boswell Amendment
which you will vote on Nov. 5 is designed
to insure against any mass swarming of
the polls by Negro voters. But for the past
45 years there has been no Boswell
Amendment, nor have there been any
Negro voters dominating the polls in any
county of Alabama.
Sections 181 and 182 of the present Ala­bama
Constitution, which would be amend­ed
by the Boswell Amendment, restricts
voting to those persons who can read and
write any article in the constitution, or
to those own $300 worth of taxable prop­erty
or 40 acres of land, or if his wife
owns that amount of property. Providing
they are not disqualified by section 182,
of course.
It is the opinion of the writer that the
voting privilege should be extended to
any man who owns property and pays
taxes on that property for the maintenance
of his government providing he meets with
the other qualifications. No matter what
his race, creed, or color may be, he should
be allowed all the benefits and privileges
of being a citizen, if he proves himself
worthy by honest labor.
The Boswell Amendment will change
voting regulations in these three ways:
1. The qualifications entitling any man
whose property is assessed for taxes at $300
or if his wife owns said property, would
be eliminated.
2. Applicants will be required to explain
any article in the constitution.
3. County boards of registrars will pass
their final judgment on whether an appli­cant
should be allowed to vote.
If a man or his wife owns land and pays
taxes on that land for the upkeep of gov­ernment,
he should be allowed in the name
of common decency and democratic ideals
to do his part in the selection of govern­ment
officials. This is much like an SPE
buying paint to paint the lawn furniture
for the PiKA's. He could look at the furni­ture,
but not use it.
The second requirement that the appli­cant
must be required to understand and
explain any article in the Constitution is
meaningless. There are few if any people
living who can understand and explain
any article in the Constitution well enough
that it will be accepted by all other men
without argument.
If the county boards are all powerful
to decide on who is to be registered or
who will not there will be a clear cut
trail for a dictatorship. Any machine can
so control the polls that its continued pop­ularity
will be assured. *
If you read between the lines of the
amendment you can easily see that this
stipulation is designed to keep any Negro
whether he be educator, doctor, farmer,
or laborer from registering.
Lastly, if the Boswell Amendment is
passed it will be an invitation for the
U. S. Supreme court to step in.
Think before you vote!
Conner - - Man Or Mouse
The Southeastern Conference pays Com­missioner
Mike Conner a salary of $10,000
to administer the rules and regulations
concerning eligibility of athletes as well
as other matters. From what we have
heard and seen of some of the more com-*
plicated rules the job is well worth that.
But there is little need of having such a
high salaried gentleman if he can be over­ruled
and over-overruled on the slightest
provocation.
The latest and most publicized case
along this line is the one concerning a
Kentucky player, Ermal Allen. As you
know the Southeastern Conference had a
rule during the war years which permitted
freshmen to play varsity ball. This rule is
still in effect. Allen played three years at
Kentucky before the war but did not play
freshman ball. Kentucky contends that on
the basis of the wartime ruling Allen is
eligible for one more year of varsity com­petition.
Commissioner Conner ruled Allen in­eligible.
Then this ruling was overruled by
three members of what is supposed to be
a five man executive board. Other schools
immediately raised the question of wheth­er
three men would constitute a quorum.
Following that two "disinterested" substi­tutes
were appointed with the result that
still another ruling was made. The net re­sult
is that although Allen has been ruled
ineligible by the Conference, Kentucky re­fuses
to accept the ruling and says that
they will play Allen anyway.
We're not concerned with the merits of
the case — whether Allen plays or not
doesn't worry us in the least. We just hate
to see $10,000 going out for nothing. We
say rewrite the rules in plain, understand­able
English and give the Commissioner
the power to make all interpretations, sub­ject
to being overruled only by vote of
the entire Conference membership. Let's
get our money's worth and avoid a lot of
senseless arguments at the same time.
The Teachers Get A Raise
We are afraid the wolf might hear, but
we're so proud of the salary increases for
faculty members that we can't help crow­ing.
An average pay hike of 12 per cent
was announced last week, but this does
not mean that our faculty members will
be able to pay black-market prices.
The salary boosts were made possible
through allocation of $120,000 to API by
Gov. Chauncey Sparks for assistance in
meeting problems raised by the large in­flux
of veteran students.
It's about time. As Dr. Duncan said,
"This is one more attempt being made here
to hold our good teachers and to enable
us successfully to compete with other
colleges in bringing new staff members to
the campus."
We hope salaries increased this time
will not be restored to old rates when the
alloted money expires.
Maybe the college will be able to main­tain
its percentage of budget spent for
instruction, which now at 70 per cent ,is
above the national average.
In this connection, another of Auburn's
debts has been paid with the retirement
of the API Refunding Building Revenue
Bonds of 1944. Possibly there will be more
money on hand as a result.
We don't know where more money can
come from, but the increase in salaries for
instructors is the best investment we can
think of right now.

This column this week is addressed to the many veterans
now on the campus. The attention of all local veterans org­anizations
is invited to the content. The following remarks
are quoted from the column "In the Interest of the Alabama
Veteran" in the Alabama Legionnaire. This column is written
by C. C. Horton, State Service • — ~~~
Commissioner and Director of the
State Department of Veteran's
Affairs.
"Prom all over Alabama this
office is reeciving complaints as
to the effect of the recently en­acted
law —Public Law 679—
which limits the amount of sub­sistence
allowance and wages
which a veteran may draw while
training and placing a limit of
two years as a total length of
training on one job.
"Strong resolutions have been
adopted by both the Central and
Southern Area Conferences (of
Alabama) of the American Le­gion
requesting repeal of the
legislation as far as these two
conditions are concerned. The
resolutions point out very aptly
that the enactment of Public Law
679 amounts in substance to a
repudiation of contract between
the federal government and its
defenders.
* * •
"It is explained that under the
original provisions of Public Law
346 a veteran was privileged to
go to the Veterans Administra­tion
and secure a certificate of
eligibility which detailed in
years, months, and days the ex­act
period of training which his
military service had earned for
him. In many cases this period
totaled three to four years, yet
the recent legislation says that he
may not have but two years of
training if he elects to train on
the job.
"In its explanation of the op­eration
of the law, the Veterans
Administration points out that a
man could be trained for two
years in one job objective and
then if he had an additional
period of entitlement he could be
trained in another course for the
remainder of the period. This in
effect says that a man might be­come
a half-trained blacksmith,
for example, and then by chang­ing
jobs, become a half-trained
linotype operator.
• • •
"Admittedly, there are some
abuses in on the job training and
they should have been corrected.
In fact, they were being corrected
as rapidly as they could be found.
Congress, however, being led
astray by having brought to it's
attention isolated instances of ex­ploitation,
apparently took the
position that if there were one
rotten apple in the barrel, the
whole barrel should be thrown
away.
"The law works a great hard­ship
on veterans who were in on
the job training (or in school, for
that; matter) and thought they
had a steady income. Perhaps
they made committments and
obligations on that basis. Then
along comes this law and says
his income cannot exceed $175 a
month if single or $200 if mar­ried.
To add insult to injury, the
veteran further learns that this
regulation is retroactive to Au­gust
8. in "addition the Veterans
Administration says that it will
take them around 90 days to cor­rect
their records. Thus many
veterans will "be repaying money
to the government for several
months.
"As far as this department is
concerned, we feel that the ..en­actment
of Public Law 679 is but
the opening gun in a campaign,
fired by interests opposed to vet­erans,
which would have as an
ultimate objective the elimina­tion
of the major portions of vet­erans
benefits made available un­der
the GI Bill of Rights, and that
we may expect to see additional
barrages laid down from year to
year with the same objectives. It
will become more and more
necessary for veterans organiza­tions
to keep alert to this threat
to their welfare.
Public Law 679 was passed
through Congress without hear
or debate and was considered in
Executive Session by the House
Committee on World War Vet­erans
Legislation; was considered
by the Senate Finance Commit­tee,
and was passed by voice vote.
Thus it becomes impossible for
the veteran to know his friend or
foe in the passage of this bill.
"Veterans must let their con­gressmen
know that they will be
required to account for their
treatment of those men who made
their lives and jobs secure."
.» • *
Note by Ole Timer: The passage
of this bill was recommended by
General Omar Bradley, highly
touted as the man who would
correct the Veterfihs Administra­tion
mess. At least we now know
his position.

It ain't our fault if the national
and internajienal state of affairs
got in such a mess last month.
We were on vacation.
It might be of interest to the campus to learn that a cer­tain
audacious member of the staff of this publication, name­ly
Taylor Lumpkin, has been soundly repaid for the unjust
statements about some very nice interesting people that he
made in a column appearing on this page last week. On
Thursday night, Oct. 3, three of —j
these outraged and maligned in­dividuals
met the a f o r e s a id
Lumpkin swaggering down South
Gay behind an enormous cigar.
Devising an ingenious scheme
for revenge they seized Lumpkin,
escorted him to the rear of the
PiKA House to the much publi­cized
fish pond there. To the
tune of, "So, I'm out of align­ment,
am I?"; "Need recapping,
do I?" "I'm a money grabber,
eh?", he was given a toss in the
air resulting in a splash as he
hit the murky waters of PiKA
pond followed by a sizzle as the
end of that cigar finally got down
to water, and then some bubbles
rising slowly to the surface of a
once again languid pool.

At last it appears that the
University of Alabama is climb­ing

while collecting data for the bet­terment
of the university. She
plans to return there to intro­duce
English into their curricu­lum
after managing to pick up a
smattering herself.

A group of veterans on the
campus are interested in begin­ning
a small veteran's publica­tion
to be sponsored by the Vet­eran's
Organization and publish­ed
by interested members of the
organization. Any veteran on the

work on and write for such a
publication could speed work on
this by contacting Herbert Hold-sambeck
immediately.

Letters to the Editor
Operation Hello
Editor,
The Plainsman:
As an insignificant cog in the
"Big Wheel" of A.P.I., I would
like to bring to your attention,
perhaps unnecessarily, a situation
which to me seems most press­ing.
As a freshman in '42 I was im­mediately
impressed with the
spirit of friendliness which per­vaded
the atmosphere, campus
and town. As a matter of fact
I was almost blasted back on the
incoming bus with blasts of "Hel­lo",
"Hiya," etc. Not a few. of
teams, complete with brass bands
teams, complete with brass bands
and knucks, but the majority
were accompanied with a smile.
Now I realize that a greeting
and a smile does not constitute
the whole of the Auburn spirit,
but I also realize that it is one
of the most important features
of the "spirit".
I'd like to see the same situa­tion
exist again, only this time
on a much larger scale. It can be
in a big way, for according to
all reports this is Auburn's big­gest
year.
I wish you would push "OP­ERATION
HELLO" to the ut­most
this time for I realize that
it does do a large share of further­ing
the famous "Auburn Spirit".
Sincerely yours,
J. H. Eastman .'48

With Seven New Vet Schools, Nation Still
Cannot Train All Who Want To Study VM
By Al Steinberg
Throughout the country there's a critical shortage of skilled
technicians in all fields. The situation is merely the aftermath of
war years which diverted manpower from normal training to the
military and into industry. Whether this demand can provide jobs
for the amazing enrollment of students in all colleges is something
we're all a little troubled about.
Like medical doctors, veteri­narians
are overloaded with work,
usually caring for more livestock
than union hours allow. Since
vet students need twice the time
to graduate (juniors and seniors
have no summer school and must
work out apprenticeships in­stead),
their field will not be
overcrowded with technicians as
soon as other fields in which de­grees
may be granted after three
years of study. But now Auburn
graduates will have more com­petition.
Brings Number to 17
Before the war only ten col­leges
boasted of vet schools. Last
fall Tuskegee Institute accepted
a small class and this term uni­versities
in Georgia, Illinois, Cali­fornia,
Missouri, Oklahoma and
Massachusetts plan to open vet
schools. Auburn is still turning
away aspirants and the new vet
schools also have no shortage of
applications for enrance.
Negro Vets Go North
Although such northern vet
schools as Penn State and Cornell
have accepted an occasional
Negro student, Tuskegee is the
first school to go all out for pro­ducing
Negro vets. One student
in the first class in Tuskegee had
only three years of college; the
other members of the class held
their BS from four years of study.
Like Auburn, Tuskegee tried to
select students who intend to help
the country's farmers rather than
men catering to small animals
such as curing Mrs. Uppington's
pet pooch of a slight bass in his
bark.
The majority of graduating
students of all schools in Tuske­gee
seek jobs in the North since
most southern employers insist
on paying all Negroes the same
wage regardless of their skill. So
far Tuskegee is using its Ag
building for vet classes. They
have a clinic near their dairy barn
but expect to start construction
on a vet building soon.
As yet Tuskegee hasn't been
able to establish a chapter of
the AVMA and probably won't be
able to.
Competition for Auburn
The University of Georgia's vet
school openedf the fall term the
same day as Auburn. They have
fifty students in pre-vet and a
similar number in freshman vet
class. Half the vet students had
their pre-vet training in Auburn.
The school has only one out-of-state
student and only one co-ed.
Until now Auburn has had
something of a franchise on vet
students in the south. Last year
the department started publish­ing
a quarterly magazine. "The
Auburn Veterinarian" featuring
new medical developments and
items of interest to the alumni.
We still think that Auburn has
the best vet school in the country.

"Teflon," Product of Group
Research, is Solving Diffi­cult
Problems in Radar,
Television and Industry
A group of Du Pont research men
were looking for a new refrigerant of
a particular type. These men found
what they were after; but, as so often
has been the case, they found some­thing
more—this time an industrial
plastic whose unique qualities make
it invaluable in many fields.
During the study, the chemist in
charge proposed a route to the syn­thesis
of HCF2CF2C1 via tetrafluoro-ethylene,
CF2=CF2. In working with
the latter, a chemically reactive gas
boiling at -76.3C./760 mm., it was
learned that it polymerized to form
a resin having unusual properties.
After evaluation by organic and
physical chemists, physicists and
electrical experts, a suitable process
for the difficult manufacture of this
product was worked out by t he chem­ists
in collaboration with chemical
and mechanical engineers.
Structure and Properties
"Teflon" is made by polymerizing
gaseous tetrofluoroethylene to give
a solid, granular polymer:
"Teflon" (right) resists boiling acids and solvents
to a degree unrivaled by other plastics.

or properties. For this reason it may
have wide use in such applications as
tubing and piping for chemical plants
and acid-distillation equipment.
Because the dielectric loss factor
is extremely low, even a t frequencies
up to 3000 megacycles, it is an ex­cellent
insulating material for cur­rents
of ultra-high frequency. Its
heat-resisting and aging qualities
suggest immediate uses as a dielectric
in coaxial cables for color television,
and in radar and power fields.
Forms of "Teflon" Available
By use of special techniques the new
plastic can be extruded as rods,
tubes or wire coating. In general, its
extrusion rates are low in compari­son
to other thermoplastics because
of its resistance to softening.

and skill of D u Pont men, who, work­ing
as a team, contribute toward a
better America for you and all of us.
Controlled at this one panel is all the equipment for
producing the polymer from which is made "Teflon."
The fluorine atoms in the molecule
impart exceptional properties of re­sistance
to heat and chemicals.
"Teflon" has unusual heat resist­ance.
Having no true melting point,
"Teflon" decomposes slowly to give
the gaseous monomer and a few
other gaseous fluorine derivatives at
around 400°C. Under certain condi­tions
small amounts of fluorine-con­taining
gases have been observed at
temperatures above 230?C. Because
of its heat resistance, gaskets and
wire insulation for jet engines are
now made of this plastic. I t is also
used in aircraft ignition systems near
sparkplugs and in high-temperature
heating systems.
The chemical resistance of "Tef­lon"
is such that it withstands the
attack of all materials except molten
alkali metals. Boiling in acid (aqua
regia, hydrofluoric acid or fuming
nitric acid) will not change its weight

'Lightning Joer Tells
War Experiences
To Newman Club
Lt. Gen. Joseph Collins, com­manding
officer of the -Seventh
Corps, First Army, was feature
speaker at the quarter's first
meeting of the Cardinal New­man
club at Sacred Heart Catho­lic
Church Monday night.
Gen. Collins, affectionately
termed "Lightning Joe" by his
fighting men, related some of his
wartime experiences to the group.
At the close of his talk, the
Newman Club presented him a
book by Archbishop Francis
Spellman. Gen. Collins express­ed
his thanks to the group, say­ing
that he had met the author
in Germany, at his command post
5,000 yards behind the enemy
lines.
Immediately after his address,
he was honored with a reception
held in the basement of the
church.
General Collins is a graduate
of West Point, and a member of
the famous 1917 "class of gen­erals",
so-called for the unusual
number of top-ranking Army of­ficers
to come out of it.
He wears the Silver Star
awarded for personal bravery in
the battle of Guadalcanal, where
he underwent enemy sniper fire,
and saw action in the front lines.
He also took part in the Munda
airport capture. Later, in the
European theater, he led the Al­lied

Tigers Battle Hurricanes for 26-6 Victory
As 12,000 Fans and Auburn Band Cheer
By Bill Dearman
Before 12,000 students and
alumni, "Truckin" Travis Tid-welL
led a band of snapping and
snarling Tigers to a 26 to 6 vic­tory
over a scrappy Furman team
here Saturday afternoon. Travis
highlighted an afternoon of dra­matic
feats by trucking thru the
entire Furman team 78 yards
for a touchdown.
Having taken the lesson to
heart that they learned in the
Mississippi Southern game, the
Tigers gave a brilliant perform­ance
of downfield blocking and
line play. When holes were need­ed
for the fleetfooted Tiger backs
the linemen made openings that
even "Tubby" Dan McMullen
could dash through.
First Quarter
Auburn won the toss and chose
to receive. Furman kicked to Au­burn's
10. Tidwell returned to the
27. Following an exchange of
punts, Furman kicked to the
Tiger's 40. Wilson made 2 yards
over tackle. Tidwell went around
right end for 20 yards. Inman
went over center for 5 yards. On
a fake reverse Tidwell went over
center for 14 yards more. Inman
and Tidwell alternated to make
it a first down on Furman's 2
yard line. Brause went over cen­ter
for the touchdown. Fulmer's
kick was good. Auburn 7 Fur­man
0.
McDaniel kicked off for the
Tigers and Furman returned the
kick to the 30. Furman made a
first down on a pass, Truluck to
Bridwell for 10 yards. Stom-baugh's
kick rolled -into the end
zone. Gafford made 2 over the
line at the end of the quarter.
Second Quarter
Tidwell went over tackle and
and cut toward the sideline to
pick up blockers, and behind ex­cellent
downfield blocking, he
raced 78 yards for the Tigers sec­ond
touchdown. Fulmer's kick
was no good. Auburn 13 Fur­man
0.
Following the kickoff, McKin-ney
intercepted a Furman pass
on the 39 raced back 14 yards.
Furman recovered Inman's fum­ble
and kicked to Auburn's 22.
Auburn's march downfield was
interupted when Smith inter­cepted
Tidwell's pass on Fur-man's
20. Stombaugh kicked to
Furman's 47 where the ball rolled
dead. Gafford, Kocacic and Shiv­er
alternated at cracking the line
and marching steadily downfield
with Brause taking over to score
the touchdown. Fulmer's kick
was good. Auburn 20 Furman 0.
Following an exchange of kicks
Auburn froze the ball till the end
of the half.
m
Third Quarter
Brause ran Furman's kick back
27 yards. Tidwell and Brause al­ternated
to make a first down.
Wilson kicked to Furman's 14
where the ball rolled out of
bounds. Furman made two first
downs in a row via the aerial
route with Truluck doing the
hurling, but Auburn stopped the
Furman drive and Stombaugh
kicked into the end zone: An ex­change
of kicks followed and
Furman took over on its own 44,
and once again Stombaugh kicked
into the end zone. Shiver made 5
and Gafford 10 to give Auburn a
first down on its own 35. Kovacic
fumbled with Smith recovering
for Furman. Stombaugh took over
the passing duties for Furman
and completed 2 in a row for a

is so arranged that a student
could handle the job and still go
to school. He would have to go
to West Point three or four nights

To induce keener competition
of civilian pilots in the light-plane
class, Auburn-Opelika mer­chants
are offering valuable
prizes for the winners of each
event.
Reservations are now being
taken ' for civilian pilots who
who wish to compete. A brief­ing
meeting will be held at
Ramsay 109 tomorrow at 5 p.
m. Students who wish to enter
may either receive application
blanks at this meeting or phone
Mr. Rhodes at 366.
Auburn students are expected
to play a predominant part in the
air show, although competition is
open to pilots in surrounding ter­ritories.
Prices Fixed
According to Wilmot G. Rhodes,
assistant professor of aero en­gineering,
rental prices of all
college aircraft will be standard­ized
in cooperation with the show.
One of the interesting features
of the show will be the preserice
of Army and Navy aircraft from
their respective bases in Marietta
and Atlanta. Scheduled to arrive
in the middle of the afternoon,
pilots of the military aircraft will
' A routine acrobatic exhibition
is scheduled to take place in-between
events with a civilian
pilot, probably an Auburn stu­dent,
at ithe controls.
Spot Landings
Civilian pilots will demonstrate
their ability to land a plane over
and as near to as possible a white^
line across the runway. A 180 de­gree
cut-gun approach to the spot
will be employed.
From an altitude or 300 feet,
the pilot will drop a name-tagged
"bomb" in an attempt to bulls-eye
a circle of 50 foot radius. There
will be no danger to spectators
since the bombs will probably be
lime-filled paper bags.
The event which should prove
to be more fun to the pilot than
any other is the balloon-bursting
event. Balloons will be released
and each pilot will be timed to
determine the length of time re­quired
for him to fly his aircraft
directly into the balloon and
burst it.
This photo of Piper Cub was snapped by staff photographer
Lewis Arnold at the school airport. Cubs and latest models of
lightplanes will be on hand for demonstration and exhibition
at Saturday's air show.

Pagfe Slight T H E P L A I N S M AN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1946
From the Plains
By Richard Bjurberg
It has always been my desire
to write an article on current
events for the Plainsman. I. have
believed that college men and
women should be informed and
interested in the events of the
day as they are unfolding in the
world. Only through intelligent
understanding of current affairs
can the world hope for a "peace
in our time". For this leadership
in understanding, I believe the
United States must turn to its
college trained persons. Today
more than ever we must be con­scious
of our duty to work and
toil for peace through mutual
understanding with all the na­tions
of the world.
This column from week to
week will try and bring to your
attention the trend of affairs
which are occupying the minds
of the statesmen of the world,
the politicians of our nation, and
the common people everywhere.
The material for print each week
will not be in the nature of a
scoop or original news print.
Radio commentations, news an­alyses,
news reports, articles from
newspapers all over the country
and conversations with people
will contribute largely to this
column. Its purpose will be to
present news and views, to try to
stimulate thought, and to encour­age
active discussion of world af­fairs
among the student body.
During the vacation, Mrs. B.,
little Hank, and I spent three
weeks in and around New York
City. There we roamed the streets
talking with people and picking
up some interesting news bits
which I thought we could pass
on to you.
Everywhere we went the'talk
was about Russia. Few people
had a friendly word to say about
the "sickle and the hammer".
All were talking about a possible
war with the Soviets. Few saw
little hope in a peace. Pessimism
was spreading concerning the
United Nations. This was dan­gerous
talk and thought for a na­tion
seeking peace. Recently
"Uncle Joe" of the Kremlin spoke
to his people saying there was no
danger of war with the United
States. Reassuring words from
the Red Leader, but words are
empty without positive action.
In the rumor column, we heard
one which we thought would in­terest
all. It went something like
this: "The late President Roose­velt
isn't dead." Mrs. B. and I
were inteed startled. "Apparent­ly,"
the rumor continued, "Mr.
Roosevelt went insane and is now
secretly spending his days in a
private asylum." All sorts of
"proof" was given to substantiate
this rumor. Why wasn't Mr. Roo­sevelt
laid in state in an open
coffin? Why a guard over Mr.
Roosevelt's grave? When we
showed our disbelief toward the
rumor, our "informer' changed his
tune with another outrageous ut­terance.
If Mr. Roosevelt was
dead, he committed suicide. The
same "proof" was used to prove
this rumor as was used to prove
the other. Needless to say, these
rumors were continued only by
the political "hoodwinks" who
would try to discredit FDR.
The trucking strike and the
shipping strike were on during
our stay. The great Gotham City
was almost completely paralized
by these two strikes. Adding to
its misery were some 38 addition­al
strikes. Such unrest in a great
metropolis can soon go into poli­tical
uncertainty and anarchy.
While the two major strikes have
been partially settled, we won­der
whether strikes are the ans­wer
to labor-management under­standing.
Such understanding is
needed if the United States is to
prosper in this post war world.
What about meat? Less meat
was available in the East than
here at home—if that could be
possible.
Watch New York State politics
this year. They may give us a
light on possible presidential
timber for 1948. The Democratic
ticket will be James M. Mead for
governor and Herbert H. Lehman
for senator. The Republicans
candidates will be Thomas E.
Dewey for governor and Irving
M. Ives for senator. From the
people we talked with it sounds
like a knock down and drag out
affair.
The people were quite excited
over the Truman-Wallace-Byrnes
affair. Most of the people we talk­ed
with sided with Mr. Byrnes.
The United States should feel
proud that we have such an able
diplomat representing our nation
at the Paris Peace Conference.
These are some of the tidbits
of news and views which we
thought might be of interest to
all. Until next week then, we
will let the typewriter cool.

cigaret brands proclaiming to
Furman that we'd burn their Old
Goal and they'd be Luckies at
two to one but still no match for
Auburn. Crowded conditions at
Auburn were depicted by the Al­pha
Tau Omega display with pup
tents pitched on the front lawn
as well as the much talked about
Outhouse of the South from
which Furman was booted with
a swift kick, a sign on the house
read "No Room For Furman", and
a Plainsman poster announced
that 6300 students had registered
and rooms were very scarce,
while Smoe peeped from the
chimney and dummies sprawled
in beds on the roof and bulged
from windows and doors.
Theia Chi Rates Comment
Another display w h i c h re­ceived
a great deal of comment
was that of Theta Chi showing a
very realistic growling tiger about
to swallow a Furman player run­ning
from a small tiger. Their
slogan was "Eat 'Em Up, Tigers".
