pear, his name ranked among the

When Mr. Arnall took office as
governor of Georgia in 1943 he
was the youngest chief executive
in the United States.
Heading the list of measures in
his legislative program were con­stitutional
amendments permitt­ing
18-years to vote, the estab­lishment
of a teachers' retirement
system, and provisions for reform
of Georgia's old penal system. He
provided a system of absentee
voting for service men and wo­men.
The poll tax was eliminated
and a new state constitution
adopted.
He is an ardent advocate of
measures to eliminate the freight
rate discriminations that have re­stricted
the growth of Southern
industry. Filed in the U. S. Su­preme
Court, it is the first judi­cial
test-of its kind in the nation's
history.
Gov. Arnall is not only a states­man
and a supreme diplomat, but
an outstanding public speaker as
weil. After a lecture, which he
delivered at North Carolina Col­lege,
Dr. James E. Shepard, presi­dent
of the college, said, "He
made one of the finest speeches
I-have ever heard. He pleased the'
large audinee present and I have
heard nothing but the highest
praise concerning his address."

The Green Dolphin, a model of
the clipper ship shown in MGM's

on exhibit at Auburn on January
29. The showing here will be its
first appearance in an Alabama
city.
Now in the midst of-possibly
the longest land voyage ever un­dertaken
by a ship of any kind,
the Green Dolphin, a replica of
the gallant; clippers that sailed
the high seas in the middle of the
nineteenth century, is giving
Americans a rare insight into one
of the most colorful eras in mari­time
history. It is touring major
cities throughout the United

Although one-sixth the size of
the original Green Dolphin, it

GOOD TIME DURING
THE HOLIDAYS
Well, we a r e s u r e you did,
but have you told your
friends about all of t h e good
things that happened to and
for you?
Now is a good time to sit
down and write such let­t
e r s and also those "thank
you's' which have been put
off in the rush of having a
good time.
We would like to call
your attention to an item
of ^social usage that will
make this a pleasure and
joy r a t h e r than a burden.
" Our stationery depart­ment
is just full of attrac­t
i v e College Seal paper with
matching envelopes, and the
engravings are all from
steel dies.
A few of these attractive
numbers are the Gold Seal
number which spells-out
Auburn with the A and N
being tall while the other
l e t t e r s are "Sway-backed"
and are crowned with a tiny
dainty Auburn seal in gold.
This box comes in a wide
selection of shades, Orchid,
Blue, Green, White, and
Ivory.
The War Eagle box is an­other
unusual number with
t h e e n t i r e engraving in gold.
The Eagle, with out-spread
wings and head looking
back over the right shoul­der,
leaves just enough
room for- a very light en­graving
of the letters A-u-b-
u-r-n. This is engraved on
white bond ripple stock.
Another of our attractive
engravings is A U B U RN
spelled out in large orange
l e t t e r s with a blue college
seal supper-imposed upon
it. This is done on beautiful
grey Variety Cloth paper
with matching envelopes.
Other die forms are the
large Dropped Letter "A"
with tiger head supporting
t h e cross-bar of the "A" and
done in a combination of
. orange and blue on white
vellum stock, and then the
over and under design with
t h e Auburn spelled out at
an angle and the tiger head
in orange, while the sale is
in a combination of Orange
and blue.
To appreciate the art
and quality of this product
you must actually see it.
Better still why not pur­chase
a box and give it a
trial.
Never let the hinges of
friendship grow rusty.

terest whereever it has "dropped
anchor."
Providing its seaworthiness, the
ship will be floated during its
unusual "voyage" on the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans, the Mississi­ppi
River, the Great Lakes and in
the Gulf of Mexico. Designed by
marine architects after months of
research and constructed by skill­ed
shipbuilders, sailmakers and
riggers, the vessel is capable of
sailing under its own power.
The model has an over-all leng­th
of thirty-nine feet, eight inches,
is six feet wide at its beam and
twenty-five feet, six inches in
height from keel to top of its
mainmast. The original clippers
of the era it depicts were the suc­cessors
of the smaller packet ships
and were instrumental in the
colonization of New Zealand.
Robert Walker Compromises-Intends
To Be Dancing Landscape Architect
By Taylor Lumpkin
Jonathan Swift said, "It is a
miserable thing to live in sus­pense;
it is the life of a spider."
Robert Walker agreed.
Walker likes landscape archi­tecture
and also likes to dance.
His first two years at Auburn
were spent in suspense. He didn't
know what to do—take up land­scaping
or dancing. He decided to
do both.
Since he studied a special in­structor's
course at -the Fred As-taire
Dance Studio in New York
last summer, he had been toying
with the idea of opening a dance
studio in Auburn. Last quarter he
quit toying and the Rhythm-
Style Dance Studio" is now a
reality.
Experienced
Robert, a native-of Athens, and
an active member of the Auburn
Dance Group, has had much ex­perience
in the ballroom art.
He is secretary-treasurer of the
Landscape Architecture Club and
a pledge of Theta Chi "fraternity.
While in the army, he partici­pated
in many USO shows both
here and overseas, and he has
also been in two campus pro­ductions.
Friend of Dinah's
An interesting sidelight in Rob­ert's
career was his meeting with
Dinah Shore while he was in mil­itary
school in Tennessee. When
Birth s.
Born Jan. 5, 6, 7, at Drake In­firmary:
To Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Y. Peteet, a boy; Mr. and Mrs.
John Richard Snow, a boy; Mr.
and Mrs. James Howard Kent, a
boy; Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hudson,
a girl; In Greenville on Dec. 25 to
Mr. and Mrs. James R. Edwards,
a girl.
he was in the army fate played
a'trick, and who should call on
Dinah Shore but Robert Walker,
the boy from Athens, Ala. Dinah,
glad to see an old friend from
the South, asked him to several
of her parties. It was there that
he met many celebrities who of­ten
included Robert on their
guest lists. Life in Hollywood was
typical, "Just one party after an­other."
Danced with Stars
"Among the stars, I like to
dance with Maureen O'Hara most
of all. They are all good dancers,
but a_ few lessons at the "Rhythm-
Style" Studio" wouldn't hurt Lu­cille
Ball a bit," Robert smiled.
The usual course at "Rhythm-
Style" consists of ten lessons of
any dance style. The pupil can
start off from scratch, or get Rob­ert's
own Doctor of Dance de­gree,
satisfaction guaranteed. For
instructors, he has enlisted the
help of several Auburn students,
and more are being trained.
Pupils Increasing
' His list of pupils is growing
as the word gets around and he
hopes to put it on a mass pro­duction
basis .and have all Au­burn
dancing: ,t
Then, when he receives.jjis de­gree
in landscape architecture, he
will have accomplished both his
ambitions. Auburn's d a n c i ng
master will at the same time be
a full-fledged landscape architect.

Post Office Raises Standard of Living
For Auburn Students Over Holidays
By Mitch Sharpe
The postman always rings twice . . . if the neighborhood
dogs will let him. Dogs have always possessed a certain
enmity toward all postmen Nand Auburn students serving as
extra Christmas carriers were no exception.
But querulous and emotional dogs are only a few of the
tribulations besetting life in the
postal service. The city's erudite
mail men encountered many of
them. Take, for example, the
blowzy housewife with hair done
up in aluminum curlers who
tears herself away from "Life
Can Be Beautiful" long enough to
peek in the mail box. She careful-;
ly waits until the postman is half
way down the block and then
calls him back. With a plantive
whine, she hands him a penny
postal addressed to the people
next door and says "this doesn't
go here."
And, then, there will a ways be
he householder who is filled
with some iriexplicible acerbity
for postmen and demonstrates his
contumely by hiding his mail box
in crannies which evert the fifth
generation mice haven't found.
Second only to these miscreants
are the inconsiderate old South­ern
colonels who build their
family mansions several hundred
yards back from the street and
demand that the postman trot all
the way down "to deliver even
the unread and saccarine letters
of unctious friendship sent out by
every finance company in town.
Postmen Have Their Crosses
Perhaps, the greatest cross
which letter carriers must bear
is. the jovial homesteader who
leaves a snug fire and greets the
numb postman with a hearty
"Man, I bet that bag gets heavy."
Of course, this type always shows
up at the door with a glass of
imported Scotch o r Napoleon
Brandy in his hand and gently
exhales his aromatic breath in
the postman's face while making
with the persiflage. Needless to
say his jolity rtever extends to
offering, the public servant in for
a drink.
Not Postman's, Best Friend
By and large, the greatest detri­ment
to carrying the mail is not
the proverbial rain or sleet or
snow. It is dogs. All sorts of
dogs. Dogg are all born with a
strange, hatred for. postmen. It
comes all wrapped up in their
genes and is handed down from
generation to generation. Leath­er,
satchels and brass key chains
become symbols as odious as the
hamrrier and sickle or skull and
dealer in building materials.
He traveled extensively in Eu­rope
during 1934-6, touring Nor­way,
Sweden, Denmark, Italy,
Spain, England, Scotland, North
Africa, Canada, Mexico and Cen­tral
America.
His wife is the former Miss
Georgia Zell Collier. They have
two children, Vernon Shelley
Summerlin, Jr., and Ann Collier
Summerlin:
Mr. Summerlin is a member of
the Church of Christ, a Royal
Arch Mason, and a member of
the Alabama Senate.
His term on the Board of Trus­tees
will expire in 1959. He repre­sents
the Second District.
crossbones to them. In, evSry
postman, they see a definite
threat to the safety and sanctity
of the master's home.
These dogs are cunning, too.
They have devised a set of ma­neuvers
which would have done
credit to the late lamented (I'm
told) Gen. George S. Patron, Jr.
On many routes around the city,
they have been seen to form into
squads of about/ six and make
dry runs on unsuspecting passers-by.
Perhaps the most ingenious
accomplishment is their highly
developed and smoothly coordi­nated
system of communications.
In some mysterious manner, the
dogs in one block can alert every
son (and daughter) of a bitch on
the rest of the route. Thus the
freshly alerted troops are de­ployed
and briefed by the time
the already combat weary post­man
arrives on their block.
- The Postmaster General might
as well admit it. He is fighting
a losing battle. The dogs out­number
his men in every city in
the country . . . and they are a
lot more prolific, too.
Kids Are Trouble, Too
., No less infamous than the dogs
are the horrid little monsters
who play on the sidewalks and
in the streets. At first sight of
the postman, they diligently wipe
their r u n n i n g noses on their
sleeves and with heathen cries
rush full tilt at him. en masse.
The postman, forbidden by regu^
lations to use knives orf cudgels
on these imps, is soon engulfed
by a herd of swarming little
fiends all yelling for mail and
shouting.house numbers and sur­names.
But it doesn't end there.
The postman is regarded as a
walking bull's eye lor BB's, peb­bles,
clods, spittle and other1, in­struments
of infantile amuse­ment.
Rumor has it that a letter
carrier in a large Midwestern
city, after being viciously assault­ed
in such a manner, went home
and drowned his own four whelps.
However all is not drudgery at
the. post office. In spite of the
many miles trod, the aching
shoulder, swollen ankles, a bright
look polishes-the eye and a re­lieved
smile creases the mouth as
the student carrier is handed a
magnificent check and told that
"We'll see you next Christmas."

The most welcome news greet­ing
the ROTC on returning from
the Christmas holidays was that
of the new drill schedule. The
Winter quarter will find drill
from I until 2 each Tuesday and
Thursday.
Ariother innovation for the Ad­vanced
Students is the establish­ing
of a second drill period rat­her
than sortie common military
subject as was taught last quar­ter'
on Foundations of National
Power.
* * *
During the holidays, all the
military, offices of both the Ad­vanced
and Basic Instructors and
assistants were moved and con­solidated
in the basement of Sam­ford.
There are no more offices
in the Elec. Lab. The Supply
RoonT has been moved to larger
quarters in the ROTC hanger
near the old golf course. The
hanger is also used as a motor
shed for all the vehicles and wea­pons
of the Military Department.
The uniform situation now stands
as follows. The basics have been
issued regulation officer's greens
including the blouse, trousers, and
short coat. It will be the uniform
for the quarter unless otherwise
announced- by the military de­partment.
Uniforms for the Ad­vanced
students will consist of
shade 33 olive drab trousers and
battle jackets. The uniforms have
been on order and are expected
in at any time, Col. Williamson
announced.
The social side of Military life
on the campus will be accentua­ted
in March when the annual
military ball will be held on the
sixth of that month. Plans are
being made now and more infor­mation
will be disseminated
through this column as they are
formulated.
* * *
Auburn's military arsenal now
contains the following equipment
and arms. In the Artillery, in
addition: to the battery of 105
howitzers and their prime mov­ers,
there has been added 2 90mm.
M1A1 antiaircraft guns, an Ml
Height Finder and a Ml A1B1

Southern Liberal
** In the' person of Ellis ATnal'l, ex-gdv-ernoi*
of Georgia,, Auburn welcomes" to­night
a man with his face' to the future.
Against bitter criticism frorti the sup­porters
of red-gallused Gene Talmadge,
' Arhall initiated a series of reform's which
placed his state among the ranks of the
most progressive in the South. Outstand­ing
was his leadership and final victory in
- the battle for a complete, new constitution
% in Georgia..
Some months ago Arnall was suggested
to fill the position of president of the Uni­versity
of Alabama, and he has* been men­tioned
as a possible candidate for vice-president
this year. As a free-thinking
Southern liberal his prestige is high in
national circles.
We sincerely believe that such men as
Ellis Arnall will eventually lead the
South out of its economic and' social dol­drums
into' a glorious position of progress
and distinction; in this country.
A special commission compo|$Bi<dfv edur-cators
who are supposed to be both prac­tical
and learned, has submitted a report
to the United States commissioner of edu­cation
suggesting that algebra be abol­ished
in our high schools and colleges,
along with French, Spanish arid other
modern languages.
It is hard to imagine a proposal more
ridiculous, even if it does come from a
bunch of highbrows. The mental calibre
of the average high school and college
graduate is quite bad enough without mak­ing
it easier to get a diploma.
Unless the minds of the Oncoming gen­eration
is sharpened and toughened by
more study than is-now required in our
institutions of learning the world they
will have in their hands will be in one
helluva bad fix.—Jackson Daily News.
Student vs. Teacher
Ever hear of the "Fruitbasket Turn­over"
plan?
It's an idea of Dorothy Rainier, editor of
Huntingdon College's literary Magazine,
The Prelude. I
She suggests that since students are al­ways
trying to tell teachers how to teath
and teachers are always trying • to tell
students how to study, a "Fruitbasket
Turnover" plan would solve the problem.
It would include, when put into operation,
that all teachers would attend classes as
students while the students play the role
of teacher.
"We firmly believe," she says, "that
herein all parties concerned will be en­lightened
considerably concerning the
duties and responsibilities of both student
and teacher."
Some interesting possibilities in the
plan are suggested after which the editor
says: "However, until we can put our plan
into operation let us all try to do our own
jobs the best "that we can and give every­body
else credit to realize that the student t
has a job, that the teacher has a job, and
that they may meet in mutual understand­ing
of the problems of each.".
There are a few (a few, mind you) pro­fessors
here who give backbreaking as­signments
as if their class were the only
one being taught. It is hoped that these
few will take the cue from Miss Raiher's
editorial and realize that students also
have many other duties and responsibili­ties.
The selection of Wilbur Hutsell as di­rector
of athletics is possibly the most
popular move made at Auburn in a long
time.
Students and alumni may rest assured
that "The Grand Old Man of Auburn"
will discharge his new duties with the
- same finessse that he always has. >
J Most of us weren't born when Coach
Hutsell began his duties here way back
in September of 1921. That means that he
is now in his 27th year of dealing with
Auburn athletics. ,
The colorful Mike Donahue was windr
ing up a long career as Tiger coach when
Hutsell first came to the Plains. After
Donahue came Boozer Pitts, Dave Morey,
Pitts again, George Bohler, John Floyd,
Chet Wynne, Jack Meagher, and Carl
Voyles.
Before coming to Auburn Coach Hut­sell
coached at Missouri, after his gradua-tiori
in 1914, at the Missouri Athletic Asso­ciation
in St. Louis, and at the Birming­ham
Athletic Club.
B6st Of all, Hutsell knows Auburn's
athletic problem probably better than any
other individual, and chances are he has
a method for its cure'.
„.Best wishes, Coach Hutsell.

Auburn lost a truly great man from its
faculty when Dr. William R. Cotton, pro­fessor
of veterinary medicine and surgery,
resigned recently.
Dr. Cottori, who was 82 years of age,
Was Winner of the Borden Award of 1946
for veterinary research.
A- native Of Iowa, he was for 44 years
associated with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. He also was superintendent
of the Experiment Station at Bethesda,

I have had time during the Christmas holidays1 to "light"
again after Mr. Sf. John's complimentary reference during
his lecture in Langd'on last quarter. I can't quite hit the floor
with my hat yet, but I'm trying. It could be that I am afraid
to write anything after that, but my reason for using material
written by someone else this
time, I think, is because of my
Christianity
"One aspect of Christianity that doesn't
always receive proper emphasis is the al^-
most incalculable good it does for those
who practice its virtues. Many people have
the false idea that religion is a sort of
burden. Shakespeare did a superb job of
expressing the blessing of religion when
he wrote, "The quality of mercy is not
strained. It dro]p>peth as the gentle rain
upon the place beneath. It is twice-blest.
It blesseth him that gives and him that
takes."
Shakespeare and wise men throughout
the' ages recognized the wonderful practi­cality
of religion in the lives of. men. Vir­tue
has as, its rewards such real and last­ing
dividends as peace' of mind and bodily
health. Vice, on the other hand, usually
pays off in enslavement, torment or dis­ease.
Anyone who is interested in breaking
bad habits but doesn't feel equal to the
task ought to find an incentive in the" rich
rewards that accompany virtue as com­pared
with the highly dubious profits
that are reaped by vice. (The Aquin, St.

admiration of the article. I don't
believe that it constitutes liter­ary
theft; it comes nearer being
something that the New Yorker
magazine might describe as their
"We- Wish We Had Written This
Department." What I have refer­ence
to is a subect handled quite
adroitly last quarter by Jim For­rester
in his column "A Dash of

then I think you
will find it in­teresting

food for serious
! thought. Accord­ing
to Dr. Gal­lup,
the opinion
Jennings ' e x p r e s s e d by
Forrester's cblumn is also that
of thousands of young Southern­ers.
This was Forrester's column:
"ft is discouraging to watch the
South flounder about in national
politics. The' proud South! Vote
the straight Democratic ticket
and exist on the crumbs that are
left over after the Midwest, the
West Coast, and the rest of the
country have been handed their
appropriations. Rewards, approp­riations,
bribe money, call it what
you like, the politicians know
where they must use money to
get votes. Likewise, they are fully
aware that in the 'Political Si­beria'
south of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi, all th'ey need
do is call themselves by the ma­gic
title 'Democrat.' Presto!
They're in!
"Why bother with the South,
they reason. The Solid South. No
worry there. Worry about New
York and Ohio. Worry about
Kansas and Illinois and Michigan.
Alabama? Georgia? Forgef'it. Let
them eat cake.
"Why is Ohio 'the mother of
presidents?,' Why do the Demo­crats
almost always pick a Mid-westerner
to run 'for vice-presi­dent?
Why are Federal approp-riati6ns
spread so heavily in some
sections and so lightly in others?
The Solid South. The blind, proud
South. Suh, we are gentlemen,
and we vote the straight patty
ticket.
"The traditional conservative
Sbuthern Democrat is not at all
different from the traditional
New England Republican. It- is
true. Why, then, do Southerners
vote Democratic? The name. The
magic name. Don't vote for the
man, vote for the name.
"The men who run the Demo­cratic
Party realize this sameness.
The people of the South are blind
to it. As long as they stay blind,
the bosses will be able to continue
to use the South.
"It is more blessed to give than
to receive' says the Book.-The
South, ^then, is indeed blessed.
They give all; they receive noth­ing.
"Georgia gives signs of awak­ening.
They are trying. Two pair-ties
exist. Both call themselves
Democrats. It is a start. If the
Southern conservatives can be
made to vote as they live, 'if they
can be. made to know themselves,
there is hope."

Radio Competition
Another radio station in the Auburn
area is ah asset to the college arid com­munity.
Competitions • caused by its innovation
should lead to high quality programs from
both stations. There are enough business
establishments in this section to, supply
them both with commercials at present,
but will this condition exist indefinitely?
With this thought in view, the two sta­tions
will be making Gable look weak as
a huckster—yet they will both work to
improve their broadcast programs.
The results should be good. -
Don't be surprised at what you
hear when you use a phone in
Auburn.
Boys in several of the larger
boarding houses have developed
a unique style of greeting practi­cally
every caller.
The other day I called Tom'
Sellers at 1038 and someone an­swered
in a Peter Lorre voice:
"This is the devil speaking; who
in hell do you want?"

to wonder.

Later I called

f? occasion a high-pitched
falsetto
answered: "Auburn girdle fact­ory;
what gives?"
Investigation proved mat the
boys had a "standard operating
procedure", tacked on the wall
near t h e ' phone. They gave a
different answer to every call.
Some of them are:
Auburn graveyard; who can we
dig up?
Auburn paper company ~ will
any old bag do?
This is Freddy; are you ready?
Sky patrol; what's up?

Bfy Jim Forrester
After more thaii two weeks- of
plain arid' fancy vacation—days
spent doing; nothing more stren­uous
than relaxing—it is some­what
less than easy to settle
once again into the familiar old
routine of classes, quizzes,, and
deadlines. After eighteen- days
away from the Plains you cant
quite force yourself into any
feeling of enthusiasm about re­turning
to the grind. Of course,
there are many things that go
along with the others that are
good to get back to. Auburn is
still Auburn. Despite the crowd­ed'
classes, the high prices, the
weather, the multiplicity of traf-fice
lights in Opelika,' the un­sightly
gray portable barracks
which have mushroomed all over
the campus, and all the other
things that furnish material for
gripes, Auburn is still Auburn.
The best people in the world can
be found right here on the cam­pus.
Not that they alone make
Auburn what it is?. No, it's more
than just people. Nothing as
easy to put your finger on as
that. It's a feeling about the
place. It's Main Gate at noon.
It's Samford Tower at nightf
with the clock booming out in
the still blue-dark. It's ;the Grill
in the morning, crowded and
noisey. It's hurry to make an"
eight o'clock class and swearing
you'll never have anbther one.
It's speaking to the people you
meet, smiling and friendly. It's
liking the place in spite of it's
faults", and then after awhile
loving it for just what it is. For
there is no place in this world
that is without its faults, just as
no person is perfect and no group
of persons is perfect.
When you first dome' to Auburn
you hear that there is nothing
like it. Everyone' you talk to is
eager to tell you just how won­derful
Auburn is and how lucky
you are to be here- It is per­plexing
at first, for so'many ci-viifc
boosters just don't happen in
this part of the country. The
first two or three can be passed
off as merely Well-wishers. But
after you've mfet a dozen or so,
each with the same happy rou­tine,
you begin to get a little
dubious, maybe even cynical.
But time goes by, and one day
you wake up and' find yourself
sounding alarmingly like those
first people you ran into. Auburn
is- wonderful. It's great. It's tops.
It's Auburn. No matter how cyni­cal
or sophisticated or modern
you may think yourself, it gets
into you. When that happens
you're marked for life. You're
an Auburn man, and'; you'll-nev--

muscular, half-nude coolie with
a shake's, head and forebody
emerging blasely from his month,
and the same (we presume)
snake's nether regions squirming
equally as blasely into his left

COMMON MAN OF THE
WEEK: This week's peasant who
made good is Frank Sego, affable
and sanguine sports publicity
director of the college. On meet­ing
him the other day we saw
that fame had left its mark on
his lapel. Destiny's tot had been
pledged by the Civitans, a club
founded for people like Sego.
For a lad who started up the
highway to Auburn from Tuske-gee
in a little red wagon, Frank
has gone even farther. His byline
has spread his name over the
state's leading „ papers. Many-sports
editors find it refreshing
to read copy which contains life
as well as sports.
With two strikes against him
last football season, and forced to
straddle, several precariously high
fences, he managed to keep in
the good graces of nearly every­one
concerned and turn out his
usual brand of good sports copy
each week for the critical jaws
b f t h e nation's press. Congratu­lations,
friend Sego!

Good evening everybody, how
you all? As I pall your happy
sober faces I am indeed happy to
see each of you again.
During the holidays, while en
route to Nashville (on Uh, ahem,
business) the usual group of
screwballs immediately planted
themselves, one by one in the
seat along side me, and forced the
conversation. Why this happens,
I will never know, but when I
am traveling, if there is one.nut
in the crowd, he" will invariably
search me out, turn on his smile
like a nebh sigh, and plunge head­long
into something that neither
of us understands. •
I boarded the bus one crisp
cool morning just after Christmas
day and while the baggage men
were looking for a place to hide
my bag, the character commented
on the weather. Now a remark
like that cannot go unchallenged
so after many mfles of travel and
two rest stops, he had said that
he too was a writer. "Well well"
I thought" We will get along
famously. His book, he said,
would be the book to end all
books and I said that my column
would eventually end me. I lost
him in Birmingham, and the bus
people lost my bag.
After a' quick Spani sandwich,
and a trip down stairs', another
lap of the journey began. I prom-ply
sat down beside a nice look­ing
chap, and after the usual

Labeled "positively the most
courageous article ever to ap­pear
in a college publication," the
- "Rammer Jammer" (U. of A.)
published an article in their De­cember
issue entitled "Is Your

Pat Reilly, the author, used a
secret, patented method to dis­cover
what percentage of the fe­males
of a certain sorority on the
Alabama campus used "gay
deceivers," or to - use the bour­geois-
term, "falsies." According
to Reilly, 29 per cent wear them;
19 per cent wear them on special
occasions; and 52 per cent never
wear them.
As a special, leap-year feature
(if we know our women), these
cunningly placed bits of padding
will reach an all-time high in
popularity_among_the less-favor­ed
females of this campus. There
should be something in the rules
about obtaining a husband under
"falsie" pretenses.

Dear Sir:
As an interested Auburn stu­dent,
I would like to take this
opportunity to praise publicly the
Concert and Lecture Committee
for its fine work in obtaining the
services of Robert St. John, not­ed
news commentator, last quar­ter.
I have heard mariy students
state that the speech rendered
by Mr. St. John was "the, best
we have ever heard."
The Concert and Lecture Com­mittee
is composed of four mem-mers:
Dean Katharine Cater,
Professor J. N. Baker, Professor
Joseph Marino-Merlo, and Mr. T.
C. Clark. Those are the people we
have to thank for bringing Mr: St.
John to Auburn.
During the month of February,
the Committee will present Ger­ald

Science Illustrated. Ellis Arnall,
former governor of Georgia and
194-8 vice-presidential mention
will speak tonight.
I believe,that Auburn students

were in hearing Robert St. John.

"Advertised as "By Far Ameri­ca's
Foremost Pigskin Prophet",
Mr. Williamson is now in his 15th
season of predicting and rating
some 837 university, college, ser­vice,
and junior college teams.
His predictions reach an estimat­ed
newspaper public of 10 mil­lion,
from Bangor, Me., to San

Ore'., to Miami, Fla.
"A native of Birmingham, he
graduated, from Auburn in elec­trical
engineering in '12. He took
postgraduate work at Wisconsin.
Mi'. Williamson's football activi­ties
began during his college
years when he combined ardent
interest in footlfell with his class­room
scientific studies.
For his »wn satisfaction he
evolved what is now known as
Williamson's Scientific Football
Ratings and Predictions, a meth­od
for comparing football teams
all over the country according to
a single standard.
Uses Formula
"By means of a higher-mathe­matical
scientific formula, he is
able to resolve reams of data into
a preciste table of most -consistent
rankings, from which the out­come
of imost games can be re­liably
foretold.

New Orleans home.
"His wife is the former Edna

three boys, age 10, 17, 23.- The
eldest, J. D. Mitchell Williamson,
attended Auburn for two years,
'41-43. He' won the EKN award
for / leading his freshman EE
class. He volunteered for service
in '43 and returned in the spring
of '46 after a 36 month hitch,
ending as a lieutenant. The D in
"J. D. M.", writes his father,
stands for Dunstan, in honor of
Auburn's own Professor Dunstan.
Mitchell is now married, has a
daughter nearly a year old, and
is studying petroleum geology
and geophysics at Tulane.
"Mr. Williamson's middle son,
Kennedy, is a freshman at South­eastern
Louisiana College, pfep-ping
for aero engineering at Au­burn.
The youngest son, Rhett, is
still in grammar school, but will
one day, no doubt, follow the
family tradition to Auburn. And
Auburn is definitely a William­son

received citations of merit
both from the Army and the

Chemical Engineering Professors
Report to Students on Convention
At one of the last meetings
held-by the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers' Student
Chapter during the fall quarter
the program consisted of two
talks by Dr. C. A. Basore, head of
Auburn's Department of Chemi­cal
Engineering, and Prof. J. R.
McKlveen, Assistant Professor of
Chemical Engineering. Both were
Auburn's representative to the
national annual meeting of the
American Institute of Chemical
Engineers held at Detroit, Mich.,
November 9-13.
Visits Distillery
. Prof. McKlveen presented the
first report on his trip and its
happenings. The main portion
-and outstanding point of interest
of it was a brief summary of
a journey made through the Hi­ram
Walker Distillery. As in the
case of most -old established Dis-tillerys
it had very much of the
original equipment still in use.
While such antiquated equipment
gave a fine, pure product, from
a Chemical Engineers viewpoint
it wasn't feasible to continue op­erations
under such conditions of
equipment and process. The ra­ther
-large group, of which Prof.
McKlveen was a member, had a
nurnber of ideas about the rede­sign
and subsequent increased
production of the plant. These,
were, however, politely rejected
by the plant guide who insisted
that they were quite well satis­fied
with the brand product they
were obtaining with the equip­ment
they had available.
Ford Plant Visited
Dr. Basore climaxed the pro­gram
with a presentation of some
of the highlights of the meeting
itself and the general procedure
used at the meeting. The plant
trip taken by Dr. Basore was
through the Detroit plant of the
Ford Motor Company.
• The plant of the Ford Motor
Company is probably the largest
industrial center in the world.
Its mamoth facilities contain not
only the factory for assembling
automobiles but also many aux­iliary
operations needed for sup­plying
steel, coke, fuel gas, paper,
glass and other materials for the
industry. The Ford Motor Comp­any
is a highly integrated organi­zation.
It has steadily developed
by the process of installing plants
to produce many of the materials
and parts which it requires.
Ford makes at least 50. per cent
of its own steel requirements in
10 open-hearth furnaces and
Bessemer converters. To supply
the tremendous amount of coke
Ford has developed its own coke
oven plant. The Fprd production
foundry is the , largest in the
world, having a pouring capacity
of 2500 tons of molten metal a
day.
The Ford paper mill was erec­ted
to produce the trim board
used in Ford cars.
The glass plant, for. producing
the glass used in Fords, is another
sideline of terrific proportion in
itself. It is one of the most mo­dern
plants of its kind in exis­tence
being the first to produce
and polish glass continuously.
In addition to these and many
other interesting and important
production processes and opera­tions
there is also- a huge research- -
laboratory where work is con­stantly
carried on for the im­provement
and betterment of
present materials and operations.
Men here are in constant pursuit
of new basic scientific informa­tion
with the aid of costly rare
equipment which cannot be found
elsewhere. J • . •

arid one representative
from- the deckhouses, held its
second regular meeting last quar­ter.

W. T. Ingram, college business
manager, was guest speaker. Mr.
Ingram was asked to attend the
meeting in order to receive r e ­quests
for telephones, better jani­tor
service, brooms, street lights,
and garbage cans for the men liv­ing
in the barracks.
• Mr. Ingram informed the coun­cil
that plans are underway for
installing phones in each of the
even-numbered barracks, a total
of seven phones. .He also said
that the buildings' and grounds
department is planning to install
several street lights along the

Leap Year Brings Open Season
Campus Bachelors
Dig in for Attack
By Tom Sellers
Along the lumber-strewn paths
of ye olde campus the male stu­dents
are creeping stealthily, a l ­most
cat-like, in the manner of
hunted animals. Because that's
what they are, hunted animals, as
1948 rounds thfe first turn of the
wide track to the preacher's door.
But leap year brings promise
of a new era for these erstwhile
forgotten bachelors. Now there
is hope that Hortense, Harriet,
or Griselda will ask them for a
date. Hope that Peggy Cecilia;
Margie Bedelia; or Mamie Adc-lia
will propose. Hope for an end
to lonely hours in a place where
men are- men and women are
scarce and know it.
The Plainsman decided to go
into the ranks of the victims
themselves to ask the question,
"What is your opinion of the ini­tiative,
afforded women by leap
year?"- Almost unanimously, the
men agree that the "new look"
in the eyes of local females is as
old" as - Mother Eve herself, and
that long skirts and hour-glass
figures do.not hide their latent
cave-women instincts.
The idea of being pounced up­on
by a spinsterish Amazon for
purposes of holy matrimony has
received a hike warm reception
among men accustomed to being
masters of "the weaker sex." But
realizing that girls and dates are
rare treasures at Auburn, they
secretly believe their own* superb
good looks and virtues will cause
them to be picked from the mass
as the object of a lovely maiden's
hidden desires. "Pride goeth be­fore
a fall" is the adage to re­member.
Read on, folks, and find out
how the men are reacting to leap
year: >^
Biil Bain; "I'll say yes to any
woman who can support me in the
manner in which I want to be­come
accustomed."
Caxltov* Smith: "A girl asked
me to marry her the other night.
I accepted. Next day she with­drew
her proposal. Can I sue her
for breach of promise?" (Writer's
note: You have, my permission.)
Prof. Hubert Liverman: "It
gives the girls one more day to
pursue the male. A lot can happen
in 24 hours, you know. (Note:
Since Prof. Liverman is married
we can understand his omission
of a personal reference.)
Harry Golemon: Since this is
open season on dears, I think l i ­censes
should be issued to all fe­males.
We males need protection,
too.
Prof. Ted Hoepfner: "I have
no statement to make." (As Prof.
Hoepfner is an authority on the
writings of Shakespeare, he was
asked, "Do you remember any­thing
Shakespeare.said about the
predatory tactics of women on
.leap year?" He answered, "No, I
don't believe Shakespeare stuck
his neck out, either.")
Fletcher James: "If some luc-ious
wench wants to grab me in
her arms; kiss me; buy a ring
and marriage license; marry me;
fix me up to get $25 extra each
month from Uncle Sam; cook for
me; and<. . . . . Well, who am I
to complain?"
McElvaine and Ingram
To Serve Jointly
With Producers
At the end of last quarter The
Auburn Producers elected as co-chairmen
of their group Ford Mc­Elvaine.
and Bob Ingram. McEl-yaine
is a junior in BA from Bir­mingham.
Ingram, is a junior in,
education from Centre.
"Other officers elected were
script writers, Mac McKinney
and Luther Smith; drama mana­ger,
Hamlet Simmons; business
manager, Gerald Schwindley; cri­tic'solicitor,
Martha- Norris; and
publicity manager, Bob Willing-ham.
Additional members of The
Producers include Natalie Hatch­er,
Laura Horton, Jean Baldwin,
Barbara Neal, and Ray Fowler.
The group plans to present
numerous interesting programs
during the winter quarter, includ­ing
a quiz show, outline of re­ligious
emphasis week, a pro­gram
of Auburn's history, and
other enlightening features.
BONEY-RAYAREWED
The marriage of Miss Sybil Bo-ney,
of Auburn, to E. B. Ray, of
Chattanooga, Te'nn., took place
Dec. 31, at an afternoon cere­mony
in the Cloverdale Baptist
Church in Montgomery. The pas­tor,
Dr. J. H. Webb, officiated in
the presence of a few close friends
of the bridal couple.
The groom was graduated from
Auburn in March 1947. He is a
member of SPE fraternity.
Campus Belles'
Leap Year Strategy
Mitch Sharpe
Cunningly hidden amid the
stock piles of the API-Brewster
Construction Company in front
of Langdon Hall are the preda­tory
coeds. Like the distaff Dog-patchers
on Sadie Hawkins Day,
they are poised for the big leap.
As his last official act, Old Father
Time fired the opening gun on
the first post, war Leap Year and
the local belles broke even at the
post.
And so as the unwary bache­lor
treads" quietly and thinks/
twice about even a coffee date
between lulls, the girls .are al­ready
busy plotting their down­fall.
The Census Bureau gave
the haggard, bachelor as much
support as it could by advising
him to beware of*all females 23
years old. Tha,t, they said, was
when the marrying ijrge became
the marrying age.
Now that the Christmas holi­days
.are - over and the campus
is once more teeming with edu­cational
wildlife, the ..woods are
full of female wolves in (near­ly
paid for) lamb's clothing. For
the next 12 months, the shy and
demure coed of the past is out.
Anything goes and no holds are
barred.
With a battle, cry of DON'T
LOOK, JUST LEAP!, .the girls
bad the following to say in a re-f
cent poll conducted, by The
Plainsman- in behalf of the'cam­pus
spinsters.
Evelyn Covbett: 'Shoot yeah!
I'm all for it! It gives us homely
girls a chance. Keep yoiu* fingers
crossed for me. I have 12 more
months to get my man truly
'hooked." -I
' Bess Talbert: "Leap Year?
Hummm? Oh, is this Leap Year?
Well, that give us one more day
in which to leap."
Ada Wright: "I'm in favor of it
andl think it is here to stay;" :
Peggy Fichtner: "It's a good
idea if you can get it to work."
Mona Jones: "I've been leapin'
for the past four years, so it's'
just another year to me."
Bonnie Bozeman: "Yes indeed,
I'm in favor of it. In fact, I'm
thinking of founding a Leaper
colony."
Moily Wynn: "Whq'eVer
thought of it*was quite a brain.
Fine institution. Fine institution."
Waline Welch: "I think the
whole idea is definitely vulgar
and absurb. Women shouldn't
give in to their baser emotions;
marriage is much too sacred for
that. Plebeian customs do not in­terest
me in the least. I have only
the utmost contempt for any girl
Who would brazenly attempt to
gain the affections of a male by
unfeminine display of brute
force."
As aiK official after thought,
here's what Dean Katharine Cater
has to say on the subject: "Natu­rally,
I'm for anything in favor
of my girls, but I want to ad­monish
them to be sure before
they leap." %
Once
Over
lightly
Little Tommy: "Sister May
must be able to see in the dark."
His mother: "Why do you think
so?"
Tommy: "Because last night
when she was sitting with Mr.
Steady in the living room, I heard
her say, 'Wby Rufvis, you haven't
shaved.'", /
' * - . * • : *
; On several occasions men have
been likened to sheep, and so far
as lack of initiative is concerned,
the simile appears to be remark­ably
appropriate. Most of us spend
our lives in getting through gaps
made by others. It requires great
effort to be original and to avoid
the habit of slavish imitation.
—R. R. Lucy: The Hilltop
Friend: "They say you can
usually tell a girl's character by
her clothes."
Traveler: "Nonsense, girls must
have more character than that."

Lanford, Nixon
Star For Tigers
After a slow start, Auburn's
fast-rrroving cagers came through
with a 59-50 victory over the
University of Mississippi Rebels
h e r e Monday night.
The Tigers s t a r t e d weak, going
behind six points in the early
stages of the game, but a strong
r a l l y midway in the f i r s t ' half
brought them up even with Ole
Miss and at the end of the half
t h e count was knotted up at
31-all.
Auburn lost the lead several
times in the second half, but in
t h e closing minutes got it back,
lengthening it to the nine point
advantage by the time of the
closing gun.
The scoring was pretty well
d i s t r i b u t e d among the Auburn
players. W. C. Mobberly, Don
Lanford, Ray Williams and Roy
Brawner came in for good
amounts of points. Lanford was
t h e defensive star of the game,
while Glenn Nixon, big center
for the Tigers, did a«good job of
checking.

SAEs DUMP PIKES
TO WIN TROPHY
By Bruce Greenhill
SAE won the much coveted
I n t e r - f r a t e r n i t y football trophy
last week by trouncing PiKA -7-0
in the finals. The strong SAE
club had come back after a first
round loss to the Pikes to defeat
Alpha Psi, SAE and then take
t h e power laden PiKA team
twice to cop the championship.
Joe Rollins passing arm which
has been the SAE strong point
was the winning weapon again.
All Star Joe passed to Irving
Mangrum and then converted.
J im Dow"s passing was a con­stant
Pike threat and the play
of Flash Riley and Dub Ellis was
also outstanding. Fred Johnston,
Charlie Dixon and Arthur "Giuo-fingers"
Phillips played inspired
ball for the champs.
The SAE team played like
champions all year; losing only
one game—that to. t h e runner-up
Pikes. In the two "losses and
o.u£','.,playofi.SAE had to w.in.the.
rest of its games to' take the
trophy and it did just that, de­feating
some fine teams along
t h e way.
Don Lanford (above) is the
most capable ball handler on
t h e Auburn hardwood squad.

Rubber accelerators lead the way
to new agricultural fungicides
Vulcanization accelerators for rubber
and agricultural fungicides would seem
, to have little in common. But t h e wide
variety of interests of men in the Du
Pont organization sometimes result in
outstanding developments from such
apparently unrelated products.
A rubber chemist suggested t o a plant
pathologist t h a t derivatives of dithio-carbamic
acid, NH2-C(S)SH, parent
substance of a well-known group of rub-beraccelera
tors, be tested asinsecticides.
His suggestion was based on the possi­bility
t h a t sulfur combined in this form
might be more effective t h a n free sulfur,
a recognized insecticide.
Entomologists and plant pathologists
investigated the fungicidal as well as
t h e i n s e c t i c i d a l p r o p e r t i e s of this
group. One of t h e first compounds test­ed,
sodium dimethyldithiocarbamat'e,
(CH3)2N-C(S)SNa, even in dilutions
of 1:30,000, was found to be a powerful
fungicide, but somewhat injurious to
plant life.
This led to a systematic program of
research including otheivmetallic salts,
the ethyl,/propyl, butyl, phenyl, and
other aryl derivatives of the dithiocar-bamates
and thiuram mono- and di­sulfides,
and the related compounds
made from ethylenediamine and mor-pholine.
I n this phase of t h e work, or­ganic
chemists played an important
role by suggesting various derivatives
and preparing them for tests. Later, in
cases where proper dispersion and ad­herence
of t h e compounds to plants were
important, t h e skill of physical chemists
was called upon.
I n general, t h e compounds of greater
chemical stability were found to be less
effective. Fungicidal efficiency dimin­ished
with increase in size of alkyl radi­cal,
and as aryl radicals were substituted
for alkyl. Thus the unusual situation
developed that with the exception«of
t h e bisethylene (dithiocarbamates), the
first and simplest products tested, the
methyl derivatives, proved to be the
best fungicides.
Iron and zinc dimethyldithiocarbam-a
t e s , (CH3 ) 2 N C ( S ) - S - M - S - ( S ) CN
(CHi)s, are now sold as " F e r m a t e " fun­gicide
