Tigers Are Sharpening
Claws For Vandy Eleven
By Ronald Kuerner
Still licking their wounds after a 40-0 pasting last week
at the hands of the Tulane Greenies, Auburn's Tigers will
meet more tough opposition Saturday when they tackle the
up-and-coming Vanderbilt Commodores.
Auburn, after making a poor showing against the Green
Wave, will be rated at least a three touchdowns underdog
against the strong Vandy team
against two. conference losses,
doesn't compare too badly with
the Commodores in the statistics.
Vanderbilt has three wins against.
two losses as a total and an even
two and two in conference games.
However, when tdtal points are
figured up, the Tigers are at a
definite disadvantage. The Tigers
have scored by 27 points while
opponents have collected 81 in
conference play,, while Vandy has
scored 37 against 46, indicating a
good defensive job on the part of
the Tennessee lads. Auburn hay
the dubious honor of having 100
points scored against them in five
games and have made 54, while
the Vandy s l a t e reads 40
against 46.
The Tigers' passing attack and
ground attack was at its low ebb
against the Greenies when they
failed to pentrate past their op­ponent's
41-yard line, a fact which
speaks poorly for their offense.
Their scant three first downs JS
nothing to brag about either.
Auburn's real hope is that more
passing action can be seen and
that with the recovery of several
injured players, they might take
to the air and give the Vandy club
a real scrap. Things aren't look­ing
too good for the Tigers, but"
who can tell?
SPEAKS TONIGHT
which made a good impression
last week even though losing.
Vanderbilt, in losing to Louisi­ana
State University 19-13, show­ed
up far better than was ex­pected
and in view of Auburn's
collapse, she is heavily favored
over the Tigers. LSU's powerful
grid machine was supposed to run
over the Commodores, but in­stead
the Vanderbilt club put up
a determined stand throughout
the game. This fact looms even
larger in view of the fact that
four first stringers were left home
on the injured list, including
three linemen and a back.
•The Commodores, tough on the
defense, possess the knack of
"digging in" when the situation
calls for it and their sturdy for­ward
wall will be enough to keep
the Tigers busy.
However, the Tigers still have
a chance and aren't going to give
up without trying. They looked
good during that first half when
the Green Wave only scored
seven points, and with enough de­termination
the Tigers should at
least be able to keep the Vandy
outfit from running away with
the game.
Auburn, presently sporting two
victories against three losses in
all play and one conference win

Fall Out Frosh!
Miss Auburn
Awaits Big Kiss
By Mitch Sharpe
Frosh, get with it!
Whether you realize it or not
the winner of the ODK-Wilbur
Hutsell Cake Race gets a luci-ous
and lingering (maybe!) kiss
from the leading campus beau­ty
. . . Miss Auburn, that is. If
that's not enough to make you
turn out and start sprinting
around town getting in shape,
then think of what else you'll
get. For the first man to cross
the finish line, there will be, of
course, the traditional cake.
The merchants in town add
their gifts to the cake, and
there's a sweater with the win­ner's-
graduation year on it.
The race is over a 2.7 mile
course and it's going to take
more wind than your history
prof uses in a quarter. Now
that's a lot of wind. To build it
up you're going to have to get
out and practice. Fraternities
are urged to select a manager
for their frosh and to get them
in condition.
This years cake race is go­ing
to turn out the largest
number of freshmen in the
school's history. There's going
to be plenty of stiff competion.
That means the winner is going
to be a real man . . . and re­member
it takes a real Auburn
man to kiss Miss Auburn.

All countries will develop
atomic bombs, Dr. Merlin D. Pe­terson,
section chief of the tech­nical
division, Clinton Laborator­ies
at Oak Ridge, Tenn., told 300
professional and lay leaders here
last Wednesday.
Discussing atomic energy from
the .scientist's point of view, Dr.
Peterson said it was only Ameri­can
know-how and magnitude
which made it possible to deve­lop
the bomb first. Russia began
work along these lines in 1944
and should be producing atomic
bombs in five to 10 years from
that date he added.
Dr. Roscoe Martin, director of
the Bureau of Public Adminis­tration
at the University, discus­sed
social implications of atomic
power.
Quoting a Russian scientist, Dr.
Martin said, "To think of atomic
power only in terms of the atom­ic
bomb >is to think of electricity
only in terms of the electric
chair."
Dr. Martin remarked that Ro­bert
Hutchins has said, "If we
aren't all killed within the next
10 years, we'll be bored to
death."
Dr. Martin made clear that
while mankind today thinks of
atomic power largely in terms of
bombs, the broader implications
are for peacetime uses.
Dr. Peterson said that radia­tion
treatment is now ^available
at small cost in hospitals as small
as Auburn's. He thinks cancer
may be cured by this treatment
Further, Dr. Peterson said, by
making materials radidact i v e,
they can be traced in their journ­ey
throughout people, animals,
and things.
After quoting authorities who
believe man is headed for a time
about five hours, Dr. Martin pos­ed
the following questions:
"What will happen to organiz­ed
labor when men do only five
hours work per week?
* * *
Auburn faculty members took
part in a panel discussion which
followed.
Dr. Fred Allison, head of the
physics department, said much
public education on atomic ener­gy
is necessary and that the
"Voice of America" radio broad­casts
should be continued. He
said he believed it possible for
the United States to engage in
war with Russia.
Dr. Jerome Kuderna, professor
of education, »aid he favored the
Marshall plan. Maj. Carl Kronin-ger
of the ROTC department,
said he believed the only defense
was an active military prepared­ness
program.

OPELIKA
State Department, Not VA, Gives
Information on Studying Abroad
Pictured above is Bob Hope
who will select the Glomerata
beauties by photograph. Hope
is famous primarily as a radio
comedian, but he has other in­terests.
He writes a daily col­umn,
has authored two books,
makes phonograph recordings
for his own company, owns
one-sixth interest in Ihe Cleve­land
Indians and a piece of the
Los Angeles Dons, plays golf,
and earns close to $500,000 a
year for personal appearances.
Tickets to the ODK-Glomerata
Beauty Ball, where beauties
will be announced, will go on
sale Friday.
Veterans seeking information
on the Fulbright Act, providing
for study abroad on a student-exchange
basis, should address
their queries to the Division of
International Exchange of Per­sons,
Department of State, Wash­ington
25, D. C, and not to Vet­erans
Administration.
Information to hundreds of
veterans writing to VA about
this program has been delayed
because VA does not administer
any phase of the project and
must refer these veterans to the
Department of State.
VA administers only that study
abroad which enables a World
War II veteran to study in a fore­ign
institution under the same
G-I Bill provisions that apply to
study in a college or university
in the United States.
The Fulbright Act (Public Law
584, 79th Congress.) authorizes
the Department of State to use
foreign currencies and credits,
acquired through the sale of
surplus property abroad, for the
program of a student exchange.
Under this program, financial
aid may be provided U. S. citi­zens
studying in schools of fore­ign
countries in which credit is
acquired, and for citizens of those
countries to study in the United
States.
This assistance may include
payment for transportation, tu­ition,
maintenance and other ex­penses
incident to scholastic ac­tivity.
Since all of these activities
must be financed with foreign
currencies, the Fulbrigh Act
does not prrvide for the expenses
of foreign students within the
United States or the travel ex­penses
of American students to
foreign countries unless the tra­vel
is made on ships or planes
on which payment is made in
foreign currency.
Under the Fulbright Act, vet­erans
of World Wars I and II are
given preference by the 10-man
Board of Foreign Schalorships
which awards the study grants.

"The local shortage of college
text books is something which
under no circumstances could
have been avoided, but every
conceivable effort is being made
to correct it," Bob Smith, mana­ger
Burton's Book Store, report­ed
yesterday.
Mr Smith produced copies of

with Harcourt, Brace and Co.,
Sen. Lister Hill, John Wiley and
Sons, Inc., and the post officj de­partment,
which showed that a
railway express strike in New

And Formal Pledging
Recently elected officers to

Pi for this year are Burma Dale
Kyle, recording secretary; Mild­red
Pruitt, corresponding secre­tary;

The ADPIs also had formal
pledging recently in their sorori­ty
room. Following the pledging,
the members, and the twenty new

and punch by Auburn alumnae.
Industrial Organic Applications
of Metallic Sodium
Du Pont has also contributed to
the development of many other uses
for sodium and its simple derivatives,
such as in the manufacture of tetra-ethyllead,
used in high-grade motor
fuels, dyestuffs synthesis, and de­scaling
of alloy steels. I n t h e form of
sodium hydride or sodium alkoxides,
sodium is a catalyst for many Claisen
condensations, useful in the manu­facture
of barbiturates, sulfa drugs,
vitamins, keto-acids and diketones.
Sodium for organic reaction* it shipped in 8O,00O-lb. quantities. II it pumped into Ihe car, solidi­fied
by cooling and melted by hot oil for removal.
There would seem to be a consider­able
gap between the electrolysis of
salt to make sodium, and research in
the field of organic chemistry. How­ever,
a t Du Pont as much emphasis
is placed on organic research to de­velop
outlets for sodium as on its in­organic
uses.
For more than 15 years, intensive
work on industrial uses for sodium
has been carried on in Du Pont lab­oratories
and plants by chemists,
physicists, chemical, mechanical and
electrical engineers.
I n the organic field, this research
has contributed a number of impor­t
a n t uses for sodium such as the re­duction
of fatty esters, particularly
of natural glycerides, to alcohols.
0
C,iH3,C-0R+4Nasf^VC,BH3,CH,0H+4R0Na
Du Pont organic chemists have
found that sodium with selected sec­ondary
alcohols, such as methyl amyl
alcohol, in the presence of toluene or
xylene, eliminates shortcomings of
the classical method involving ethyl
alcohol and sod ium. Practically quan­titative
yields of the higher molec­ular
weight alcohols are obtained.
; This new method is especially use­ful
in preparing unsaturated alcohols
not easily made by catalytic hydro-genation.
The process can be carried
out at atmospheric pressure and
compares favorably with catalytic
hydrogenation of saturated, higher
fatty esters because of t h e simplicity
of operation and equipment.
The discovery of the new reaction
conditions has led to the use of mil­lions
of pounds of sodium annually
for manufacture of long-chain alco­hols
for wetting and emulsifying
agents and synthetic detergents.
Other important processes devel­oped
by Du Pont organic research
include the use of sodium for reduc­tion
of fatty esters to corresponding
long-chain acyloins, and reduction
of nitriles to primary amines.

reaction involving the use of sodium, R. B.

Cast That Vote
One of the most important lessons is
one which must be learned practically
father than in a lecture. That lesson is
"Principles of Democracy."
It is not a five hour course nor a three
hour course. It is one of life's biggest gen­eral
electives. A grade will not be received
at the end of the course, but failures will
show up later.
A lab will be held Mondaj'.
There are very few places left in the
world today where one can walk up to a
polling place, mark a secret ballot, and
cast it for the candidate whom he thinks
best qualified for the office.
Monday will occasion a rare privilege—
voting in a free election.
In the United States, college students
are the nucleus of the future citizenry. If
college students set an example of good
''citizenship, then postrity cannot take them
to task. If, by their failure, future Ameri­can
democracy fails, then they will have
been "weighed in the balance and found
wanting."
A vote Monday is the acceptance of the
full responsibilities of citizenship.
Th eyre Great
They ask for little publicity in The
Plainsman, yet they deserve a good word
as much as, if not more than, any other
Auburn extracurricular organization.
Their "chief" is a man who possesses
those leadership abilities which are scarce
in this day: poise, a respect for the' neo­phytes
under his jurisdiction; 'and the
ways of a gentleman and a scholar.
The members of this group are hard­working,
persevering, and will not give up
their work until they have achieved suc­cess
in it.
You can hear them around Samford
or, Langdon .^ny afternoon between five
and six.
You can see them at nearly .every Au­burn
football game.
They are at each Auburn pep rally.
There is a> harmony in work and play
which few other organization members
within their category have dared hope for.
While at a football game, they receive
little applause; attention is directed at
either the football game or at the cheer­leaders.
Without them, Auburn would not be
Auburn.
Without them, Auburn would win few
football games.
Who are they? What is this organiza­tion
which does so many constructive
things for the alma mater and yet asks for
such little applause?
The Auburn Band, of course.
Their leader? "Chief" P. R. Bidez.

The True Gentleman
The true gentleman is the man whose
conduct proceeds from good-will and ah
acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control
is equal to all emergencies; who
does not make the poor man conscious of
his poverty, the obscure man of his ob­scurity;
or any'man of his inferiority or
deformity; who is himself humbled if
necessity compel him to humble another;
who does not flatter wealth, cringe be­fore
power, or boast of his own possessions

We Are Proud
The Plainsman is proud. It has played a
part in scientific research.
Here's what we mean. A front page story
in The Plainsman of October 8 carried
the headlines "Research* Professor Look­ing
for Two Student Technicians." It was
Dr. Ray Pepinsky, research professor of
physics, who needed technicians to aid in
work on the electronic computer and X-Ray.
Dr. Pepinsky reports that the story
brought him into contact with some eight
men trained in machine work and about
30 electronics specialists. "Most of these
men," Dr. Pepinsky said, "are very well
trained, and because they are available
we will be able to advance our work very
much more than we otherwise could."
Yes, the Plainsman is proud to have
played a part in scientific research.
Auburn Engineer
Engineering students will be glad to
learn that publication of the technical
magazine, "The Auburn Engineer," is being
planned again by the Engineers' Council.
The Council, headed by Paul Persons,
is wide awake to the need for such a
publication. Four men, Al Durance, Ed
Ashmeade, Al Collins, and Frank Robin­son
have been appointed to lay the ground­work.
It was noted, in glancing through old
copies of the 'Engineer' that even as far
back as 1927, Auburn was advertised as
the "Cornerstone of Engineering." Accord­ing
to Webster, a cornerstone is "a stone
forming a part of a corner or angle in a
wall; especially, such a stone laid at the
formal inauguration of the erection of a
building. Hence, something of fundamen­tal
importance.
, If Auburn is to continue as "The Corner­stone
in Engineering," it must serve at
least two purposes. First, it must continue
to offer the best in basic engineering
education; and secondly, it must serve as
a center for the collection and dissemina­tion
of recent engineering news and infor­mation.
No one can deny that the first of these
is being fulfilled. As to the second, how­ever,
there may be "grave doubt; for not
since 1933 when publication of the 'Engi­neer'
halted by the depression has this
institution had any medium for passing
along recent developments in the -engi­neering
field to students, alumni, and in­dustry.
/One year ago the Engineers' Council
saw the need for reviving the old
work in that direction. Now, it seems that
'Engineer' and an appointed committed of
engineers will soon be scanning a shiny-new
1947 edition of the 'Engineer.'
Much work remains to be done, how­ever.
Staff members are needed, both on
the editorial staff and business staff. (See
"Otf Interest to Engineers" elsewhere in
this issue)
Get behind the move to revive the
'Engineer.'

Sometimes, an attitude of "forgive"and forget" is'considered
naive. Actually, that is far fronr the truth. If people would
do a little more forgiving and forgetting, everyone would be
better off in the long run. Just a little more understanding of o n e o r two- T h i s l e t t e r w a s n ot
actually written to me, but it
came my way through other
means,and ran something like
this: "Dear daughter, I think the
whole school was to blame for
letting them have such a thing as
a pajama party. I sure hope you
didn't go, and if you did I know
youwent against your better
judgment, for we have always
tried to bring you up to be mod­est,
and I think you are too old
now to start out in pajamas in a
mixed crowd." To my knowledge
the coeds were not included with
the ones who wore pajamas, but
it sounds like a good idea. Next
year why not let the girls go
through all the boarding houses,
and do what they may. They
could proclaim a Sadie Hawkins

A magazine with^national cir­culation
recently printed the fol­lowing
excerpt from The Plains­man:
A breakfast guest at the
White House was astonished to
see Mr. Coolidge pour his coffee
from cup to saucer. Not to be
outdone the guest followed suit.
The President added cream and
sugar, tasted the mixture with
his spoon. The guest was imitat­ing
this when the President set
the saucer on the floor for his
dog.
has been said by a- man much
smarter than any of us that
» "man's i n h u -
manity to man
makes c o u n t ­less
thousands
mourn."
I f everyone
had a thorough
under standing
o f something
known as t he
"human equa­tion,"
t h e re
would b e less
Jennings intolerance. I
once wrote that "it seems to be
the fashion these days to speak
of the human equation." And that
is true, but no one does much
about it. Webster defines it as
"the factor of human strength or
weakness that needs to be con­sidered
in predicting the outcome
of any social, political, economic,
or mechanical process opereaied
by human agency."
Dean Russell, in a story in the
Saturday Evening Post, wrote
that "the human equation is
simply human nature that has
defied both law and reason since
man was created. It is people be­ing
born with varying degrees of
brain power and different perso­nalities.
It allows us to sigh at
the death of a million Chinese
and cry at the death of a pet dog.
It causes us to believe that skin
color and intelligence have a de­finite
relationship. It makes mis­ers
out of some people and phi­lanthropists
out of others. It goes
among the poor and finds an
day, and chase the men into
their room. I doubt very serious­ly
if they would come across
many locked doors, and the men
would probably have all their
clothes locked up.
Received another letter from
an ex-Wave, in regard to the
shower deal. She seemed to al­ways
get caught in the shower
when they had a fire drill and
had a difficult time getting
dressed in a hurry. Shewent on
to say that male officers would
then give them a lecture on regu­lation
dress. This is quite beyond
my understanding. How on earth
could a man, standing in front of
a column of semi-dressed Waves,
keep his mind on uniforms?
Egad. How did one manage to
get duty like that? I did hear
about a storekeeper who issued
them clothes, and then came
home .and said he was in the
Battle of the Bulge.
I have become a "mass obser­ver"
of late. The other day, I ob­served
a man drowning a turkey
in wine in his chicken yard. Since,
like Benchley, I can't resist these
little foibles, I inquired as to
whatthehell he was doing. Ac­cording
to this gentleman, if you
drown a turkey in wine, it re­laxes
his muscles and makes the
turkey tender. Conversely, if you
run him down, his muscles be­come
taut in the chase and when
death comes, he is almost a ner­vous
wreck. So, with Thanks­giving
in the offing, I would
suggest that you epicureans drown
your turkeys in wine. Personal­ly,
I can think of no nicer way
to die . . . unless it is being
asphyxiated by the fumes of
brandy.

Bring On Atomic Energy!
There was more than enough informa­tion
given here Wednesday at a confer­ence
on the atom bomb and atomic energy
to bring serious, sober reflection on what
lies ahead for the world. For instance, Dr.
Merlin D. Peterson of the Clinton Labora­tories
in Oak Ridge said all countries will
develop the atom bomb.
But ostrich-like, we have buried our
heads to the realities of a situation in
which every country possesses the bomb
amidst international discord and are re­flecting
instead on some of the informa­tion
Dr. Roscoe Martin of the University
of Alabama brought.
Who can blame tired working newspa­per
people? Read what Dr. Martin pic­tured
in an age in which atomic energy
is put to its wisest, social uses:
A work-week of five hours.
A life span increase of 10 years.
To heck with this atomic warfare talk!
Bring on the social use of atomic energy!
—Lee County Bulletin
Auburn's City Council has pro­posed
that parking meters be in­stalled
in town to help alleviate
the congested parking situation
in the downtown area.
The Lee County Bulletin edi­torializes
on the subject in an ef­fort
to find out what the majori­ty
thinks of the »
proposal.
"The one-hour
parking limit in
the business dis­trict
is difficult
to enforce," The
Bulletin states,
"and has not re­lieved
the situa­tion.
Par k i n g
meters might be
the solution of
the problem."
What we want
How?
Coleman
to know is-
A parking meter is a device for
registering time and holding
money. It cannot create anymore
space than already exists.
And another thought comes to
mind. I am not postive as to the
legality of the City of Auburn
charging for parking space on a
stale-maintained street. It seems
logical that since the City does
not pay for the upkeep of Col­lege
Street, then why should the
City charge for people parking
on it?
* * *
The Plainsman has received se­veral
letters condemning the an­nouncer
of the Georgia Tech-Au­burn
game. On the whole, I agree
that the job of announcing in
both the Tech and Tulane game
was, to be mild, slightly below
par.
One group of students who
complained wrote the following:
"It was hard to follow each play
and half the time it wasn't
known who had the ball. Passes
were completed and the ball was
out of play sometimes before this
'character' ever woke up.
"No blame whatsoever is put
on the Plainsman. All we want is
someone who can follow the
game well enough to put it over
to the public. Can you help us?"
* * *
The announcer evidently isn't
experienced. If you remember,
Leland Childs of WSFA and later
with WMGY, did a good job of
announcing all Auburn games.
He had never announced a game
and was a little rough around the
edges at first, but gradually
worked into a top-notch sports-qaster.
,
Maybe this fellow will do the
same. Just the same I would like
to suggest to Frank Sego of Au­burn
athletic publicity to try and
afford this announcer with a
couple of good spotters for Au­burn's
remaining games and may­be
he will snap out of it.
It is a bad situation that needs
correcting.
* * *
The Pep Committee is solidly
behind the idea of male students
wearing orange shirts and blue
ties to the Mississippi State game
Nov. 8. 'Bama students have suc­cessfully
tried innovations of
this sort, and Penn State girls,
attending the game in a body,
have greatly added to its color.
Jim Watson, more energetic
than most of us, has suggested
this if no white shirt is available
for dyeing. Take that old GI
dungaree shirt, bleach it, then
dye it.
Well, Senator Taft announced
last week that he would seek
the Republican presidential nomi­nation.
Surprise! Who would ever
have thought that round Robert
wanted to be President? Do you
suppose he had that in mind all
these months since Harold Stas-sen
became the first Republican
to flip his hat into the ring? That
leaves Governor Dewey, Senator
Vandenberg, G e n e r a l Eisen­hower,
and General / MacArthur
standing to one side sucking their
thumbs and acting coy. The two
professional s o l d i e r s present
somewhat of a problem to the Re­publicans.
Will they turn out to
be Republicans or Democrats? Or
will they run on a Military ticket?
The Republicans have assumed
that both would, if they entered
the race, enter on the side of the
Grand Old Party. MacArthur
would stand small chance in a
national election. There are too
many ex-G.I.'s with a good
memory. Eisenhower presents
a different situation. His popu­larity,
which reached a high point
at the close of the war, has
shown very little inclination to
fall. Conceivably, he could very
easily be elected President.
Senator Taft, according to his
supporters, is by far the most
influential man in his party. They
insist that the 1948 GOP platform
must be largely a Taft platform,
because he was so effective in
shaping the party's legislation
during the past session of Con­gress.
No doubt that is very true.
However, if Mr. Taft gets the
Republican nomination t h ey
would do well to play down that
part of his record. There are
many voters who are not too well
pleased with the record of the
Republican Congress. If Taft's
publicity men keep on reminding
the people that he is the man most
responsible for that record he may
as well forget about moving into
the White House.
Senator Walter F. George
(Dem., Ga.) made an interesting
speech over in Macon, Ga., last
Thursday night. The drift of his
speech was that Russia, at the
present, is making entirely too
much noise to indicate a real
desire for war. According to
Senator George, " . . . a country
planning to wage war does not
announce it to the world." That
is Senator George's opinion, but
I wonder if he remembers a book
published in Germany back about
1925 entitled "Mein Kampf". As
I recall it, the book was later
translated into several languages,
English and sold in just about
every country. If I'm not mistak­en
Adolph Hitler went into detail
concerning what he intended to
do with the German nation and to
the rest of Europe and the world.
Then he set out to do just what
he'd said he would, and almost
did it.
Germany disapproved this idea
that a barking dog never bites.
It would be a great mistake in­deed
to make the same error
twice in one lifetime.
ATTENTION: Administration
(or whatever part of the admini­stration
is in charge of naming
buildings.)
The "New" Building has been
in use on this campus for about
eight years. It is definitely time
the ignored structure received its
christening papers.
Since the building is the home
of the Physics Department, what
would be a better name for it
than Allison Hall? Dr. Allison
h a s probably
done more for
for the Physics
Department a t
Auburn t h an
any other phy­sicist
who has
taught at this
institution. His
name has been
l i n k e d with
m a n y diseov-e
r i e s in the
field of physics.
He has become internationally
famous through his discovery of
the two elements, Alabamium
and Virginium. Certainly his
contributions to the scientific
world should not go unrewarded
here at Auburn.
I understand this cry has gone
up before. The answer has been
that it will be named for Dr.
Allison upon his death. Why
should we wait until he is dead
to bestow this honor upon him?
Duncan Hall was named for Dr.
Duncan before his death; why
not Allison Hall now?

ATTENTION: Coach Evans
Last week I suggested that an
editorial be written compliment­ing
you for your fine job in or­ganizing
the intramural football
setup. I still believe you have
done a fine job, but permit me to
suggest that you might add a
little quality as well as quantity
in your great strides forward.
I am very much in favor of
the policy—"The judges decision
will be final." As I write this ar­ticle
there is still much discus­sion
and question concerning the
outcome of the Sigma Chi-Lamb-da
Chi game which was played
last week. The final decision was
that the Sigs won the game. Why
is it that a protest should' ques­tion
the validity of the official's
decision?
I might also add that I have
noticed that the officials have
been swayed by the loudest pro­tests
from the sidelines. These
protests have caused rev.ersals of
decision.
I am aware of the fact that
none of us are infallable, but I
hope you will stress the point
that your officials should not re­verse
decisions.
Good luck, Coach, and here's
to better officiating.

THE FALL OF VALOUR by
Charles Jackson, Rhi n e h a f t ,
$2.75.
Jackson is still worried and
preoccupied with the "love that
dares not mention its name". This
time his hero (?) does not take
to drink in order to ally his sus­picions.
He takes to a. Marine
Corps captain.
Oddly enough, Jackson's left
hand hero is a college professor.
Perhaps that's not so odd. He is
married to what he considers a
shrewish wife, and becomes fas­cinated
by watching the campus
Tarzarts playing tennis. . . .in
shorts. Not only that but he col­lects
pictures of tired-looking
soldiers and hides them in his
desk . . . a variation of the old
bottle-in-the-chandelier g a m e.
Friction with his wife grows to
a point where a second honey­moon
becomes inevitable. The
kids are packed off to Grandma's,
and the professor and his wife
head for the seashore. There they
fall in with a young Marine cap­tain
and his new bride. These
two couples become so chummy
that people begin to talk. Ha,
little do .they know. It's not
Cliff's (the Marine) wife that
the professor has a crush on. It's
Cliff himself.
Cliff magnanamously gives the
professor an overseas cap with
his bars on it for a keepsake. His
wife, who is still nonplussed by
the pictures of soldiers, now rea­lizes
that her husband hac a ter­rific
crush on this virile young
Marine. She is crushed herself,
and she takes off for mama's. The
professor goes back to the apart­ment
where Cliff comes to see
him. The professor makes a pass
and Cliff reciprocates with a near
fatal blow on the head with a
brass poker.

Community Chest Drive
Declared Big Success
\ The Community Chest Drive
held on Jpe campus was a big
success, according to D r i ve
Chairman Tim Miller. A total of
$227.83 was contributed. The
money was accumulated in two
ways: $62.73 was taken in
through collections at the main
gate and fraternities, sororities,
and other campus organizations
contributed the remaining $65.09.

contrast, one Auburn student
gave the dope to the Montgom­ery
Advertiser, a paper that us­ually

stated no untrue facts but they

everything in town that was un­attached.

FRAZIER GALLOWAY
WINS SWIFT ESSAY
AND CHICAGO TRIP
A two-week, expense paid trip
to Chicago—that's what Frasier
T. Galloway won recently as Ala­bama's
first-prize winner in the
Swift College Essay Contest for
1947. Galloway's essay on the
subject "How Meats, Poultry,
Butter and Cheese Get From the
Packer to the Retail Trade" was
judged top-flight by a jury of
Auburn instructors.
The contest is sponsored by
Swift & Company, meat packers,
in every state agricultural col­lege.
On the Auburn campus the
contest was open to all agricul­tural
students. Galloway's essay
ran to around 1500 words.
While in Chicago as a guest of
Swift, thejprizewinner wilt at­tend
sessions of the International
Livestock Exposition and of a
market study program sponsored
by Swift & Company.
Galloway, a junior in ag science
is from Hartford. He graduated
from Geneva County High, Hart­ford,
in 1941, and saw war ser­vice
in the Pacific with the U. S.
Marines. Galloway is first vice-president

As for the literary style and

OF INTEREST TO ENGINEERS...
There are probably very few
students on the campus who have
seen a copy of the Auburn Engi­neer,
a monthly magazine that
i was put out by the engineers.
Publication of the magazine was
discontinued several years ago,
but a spark of interest was left,
and that spark is about to become
much more than a left-over.
There has been a great deal of
talk about starting the magazine
again but until recently, there
was little interest shown by
enough engineers to get any ac­tion.
Due to the efforts of the
Engineers' Council and its presi­dent,
Paul Person, interest in the
Engineer is gradually spreading.
To date, four men have been se­lected
to work on the staff of the
magazine: Al Durance and Ed
Ashmeade on the editorial staff;
Al Collins and Frank Robinson
on the business end. These men
are already making preparations
and plans to go to work as soon
as they get the final go-ahead
signal. Durance was sent to Ann
Arbor, Michigan, to attend a
meeting of the Engineering Col­lege
Magazine Association. At
that meeting Al got information
on how to get national adver­tising
and articles for an engi­neering
magazine and other val­uable
ideas.
If the Auburn Engineer is to
be a success, it must be backed
by the sincere interest of the ma-ority
of engineering students:
making initial preparation, and
there will be a great deal of work
once a start is made on the first
edition. There is an urgent need
for students who are willing to
work on the magazine in any ca­pacity.
There is an extremely
great need for students who have
had experience with a high
school paper of other publication,
but experience is not necessary.
Any student in engineering wh(3
is interested in working on the
magazine is urged to contact one
of the. four men above or any
member of the Engineers Coun­cil.
Engineers, this is our magazine;
let's get behind it and make it an
asset to our school.

Power Line on Wheels
Westinghouse Electric Corpo­ration's
"power line on wheels"
will be in Auburn Friday, Nov.
7. Loaded with equipment to por­tray
in minature all the functions
and problems of an actual power
line servicing a 35-mile radius,
the huge exhibition van comes
here on a cross-country tour of
every state in the nation.
The power line on wheels is
designed to present in dramatic
There is still work to be done in
form the whole story of modern
electoric service lines. The unit
even manufactures lightning to
show what happens when a real
bolt strikes a power distribution
system. Every phase of the de­monstration
will be push-button
controlled.
J. M. Olier, Birmingham man­ager
of Westinghouse, said the
purpose of the year-long tour is
to show actual distribution and
protective devices functioning
under every type of weather and
atmospheric condition.
"Engineers in utility companies,
municipalities, rural electrifica­tion
agencies, and technical col­leges
will get a vivid picture of
the proper installation of protec­tive
equipment on power lines so
that service to a community may
not be impared or interrupted,"
he said.
The demonstration at Auburn
will be conducted by Wallace
Machesney and Thomas Hol-lingsworth,
Westinghouse engi­neers.

MEET PROF. SPANN
This is the first of a series of
articles that the student branch
of the AIEE is presenting for
the benefit of electrical engineer­ing
students who are just begin­ning
their EE courses. These
articles are presented with the
hope that they will serve as an
introduction to the professors to
the students or benefit the stu­dents
in some way. A knowledge
of the professors' backgrounds
may help make lectures by those
professors more interesting to the
students who "are attending the
classes of professors they have
never had before.
Professor R. D. Spann received
his B. S. degree in'electrical en­gineering
at Auburn in 1915. A
year later he completed the re­quirements
for a M. S. degree in
electrical engineering at Auburn.
Prof. Spann has had extensive
professional experience. He work­ed
'for Westinghouse as a design
engineer, and then he worked in
the Bell Telephone Laboratory
in New York City. Prof. Spann
served with the Regular Army as
an officer in the Coast Artillery.
His experience has not ' been
limited to the United States. He
was employed by the Internation-
Student Open Studio To Teach Tap
And Ballroom Dancing In Spare Time
Robert Walker, junior in land­scape
architecture has opened the
"Rhythm-Style" dance studio over
Olin H. Hill's store. Robert has
studied a special instructors'
course under Fred Astaire during
the summer holidays.
Robert will teach tap and ball­room
dancing. He has participated
in many ySO shows both in the
United States and overseas. He
also been in two campus produc­tions
and has been an active mem­ber
in the Dance Group.
After spending four years in the
Army Air Corps, 16 months of
which was in the China-Burma-
India theater, he could not decide

VARSITY AND FRESHMEN LOSE
WHILE T TEAM GRIDDERS WIN
By Jack Simms
In the year's largest football week, the Tiger varsity,
jayvees, and freshmen all went through their gridiron paces.
The varsity was sadly outclassed by the Tulane Wave and
t h e r a t s lost to Georgia Military College, but Dan McMullen's
" B " team won a stirring triumph over the University qf
Miami Jayvees.
The varsity played lifeless ball
against the Greenies and was
smothered in a second half surge
40-0. Fred Duart, Cliff Grubbs,
Royce McMahan, and Zac Jen­kins
played good defensive ball,
but the Auburn line couldn't cope
with their heavier opponents and
the Tiger backs were unable to
get started. Tidwell had his poor­est
day since coming to the
Plains, but he can not be blamed.
The Auburn line simply didn't
give him the needed protection
to get his passes away.
GMC took the rats for a 15-0
ride , at Milledgeville, Georgia
Friday night. Auburn's score
came in the opening quarter
when Fulmer Armstrong went 38
yards on an off tackle play to
cross the double stripe. In the
fourth quarter, a GMC end trap
ped Buddy Seaman in Auburn's
end zone to give the Georgian1.; a
safety.
Although outweighed by some
10 pounds to the man, the jayvees
played inspired ball and routed
the University of Miami Hurri­canes
18-8 in a thrilling night
game at Valdosta. A crowd of
3000 fans witnessed the contest.
Cal Emmert broke the ice for
the Tigers with a beautifully
executed 25 yard scamper around
right end to score standing up.
This hapened earily in the first
quarter and the Hurricanes took
the kick-off and drove down to
the Tiger four yard line before
our line stiffened. Auburn took
over on their own four and an
attempted run by Buddy Hatch­er
missed and the Hurricanes col­lected
two points for a safety.
Miami came back to hold a
short lived 8-6 lead midway in
the second period but the Plains­men
came back to score on a sus­tained
drive. Johnny Wallis car­ried
the mail over from the 2
yard line to give the Tigers a 12-
8 halftime lead.
Auburn ended the scoring in
the third period when Chauneey
Woods raced 32 yars for the tally.
The Tigers outgained the Hur­ricanes
in every department and
led-in first downs 15 to 8.
Especially impressive for Au­burn
were Fred Folsom, Bob Mc-
Guire, Chester Cline, Arnold
Fagan, and. Danny Stewart. All
received plenty of praise for
"their aggressive and alert play.
This Saturday the "B" gridders
will tangle with the tough Clem-son
crew at West Point, Georgia.
Little is known about the Caro­lina
gang, but Coach McMullen
is looking forward to a tough af­ternoon.

Year-Old Dolphins
Gain Members
By Ouida Weekly
The Dolphin Club, which is one
year old this fall, has grown in
membership from originally four
girls to a present 20. The Club
was formed for girls who are in­terested
in synchronized swim­ming.
Try-outs for the club were held
last week and eight additional
members were initiated Monday
night bringing the total member­ship
to 20. The following girls
were given bids to enter the club:
Betty Har,tsfield, Betty Friday,
Florence Gothberg, Flora Mon-crief,
Pat Priser, Katherine Doug­las,
Nancy Hearn, and Ann Simp­son.
Miss Harriette Donahoo, spon­sor
of the Dolphins, expressed a
great enthusiasm over the growth
of the club. Plans have been
made to take several new girls at
the beginning of each quarter in
membership in the organization.
During the winter, the Dolphins
expect to sponsor the taking of a
complete moving picture of syn­chronized
swimming of club mem­bers
and their activities.
Girls who are interested in for­mation
swimming are urged to go
out for the Dolphin Club when
try-outs are held next quarter.
The Dolphins place emphasis' on
form rather than speed.

Good Season Is Ahead
For Umbach's Mafcmen
By Edwin Crawford
With three SEAAU champs back in the fold, as well as
a whole host of promising newcomers, t h e A u b u r n wrestling
t e am is expecting to enjoy its most successful season in its
short but colorful history. The Tiger matmen, under the
very capable direction of Co.ach A. W. Umbach, nailed down
the SEAAU championship last season and have high hopes
of repeating th'e feat this year.
In addition to winning the South­eastern
crown, the ferocious Tig­er
strong men also won six of
eight dual meets.
Capt. Carol Keller, last years
SEAAU 145 pound champ, is set
to go again this season and if he
continues to improve as he did
last seasen. the Tiger matmen
will have one of the finest 145
pound grapplers in the nation.
John McKenzie, 13.6 lbs. winner
and George Sargent, 121 lbs. king
will also be on hand again this
winter. Several other boys have
shown outstanding ability thus
far are Rudolph Hill, who finish­ed
second in the SEAAU meet
last year, Phil Smith, a promising
165 pounder, and Tom Keys, who
has shown a great deal of power
in the 121 weight class.
A large group of freshmen and
other newcomers are also expect­ed
to see plenty of service with
the Tiger "grunt and groan" men
men. Coach Umbach stated that
the squads biggest weakness at
heavyweight division and in the
121 lb. class. Although Sargent is
back, it is not definitely known
whether he will be able to per­form
for the Plainsmen as he has
an old injury that has been giv­ing
him a great deal of trouble.
Any boy who is interested in try­ing
out for the team should see
Coach Umbach immediately as
he would like to have as many
boys as possible out for the team.
Wrestling has grown from a
mere intramural sport into one
of the major drawing cards of
the college in the last three years
and with the new sports arena
being constructed, the T i g er
grapplers^ are expected to draw
capacity crowds for all of the
four meets. The Tiger schedule,
which is given below, is the

TIGER SWIMMERS
ARE IMPROVED
Auburn's hard working swim­ming
team, which won two of its
three meets last year, is now
looking forward to the 1948 sea­son.
The Tiger paddlers will be
much improved over last season's
gang. There are several return­ing
lettermen and with the host
of freshmen, they will give add­ed
power to the squad.
At present the varsity is com­posed
of Dick Waites, John Allen,
Jim McCary, Dave Handcoek, Al
Lowe, Frank Pease, Felix Hoke,
Elton Bailey, Wendle Taylor, and
T. Russell.
Coach Rorchardt is really hap­py
over his Freshmen prospects.
He is planning on several meets
for the boys who will be unable
to take part in the varsity meets;.
Several of the Rats look like real
contenders for SEC honors. Boys
working out with the freshmen
are Mandy, Whittlsey, Torbert,
Dunlap Prince, Gaither, Richard.
Coffee, Campbell, and McKinley.
The schedule has not been
completed, but Coach Borchardt
has arranged varsity matches
with both Georgia and Georgia
Tech, and he hopes to add several
other conference teams to it be­fore
the season opens.
There are still several weeks
of practice remaining before the
first meet and Coach Borchardt
will yelcome anyone who wishes
to try out for the team. Interest­ed
persons should see him in his
office at the Gym.

Wednesday's games in the I n t e r f r a t e m i t y Leagues have
r e a l ly caused a stir around the campus., A rule that wasn't
made clear made the outcome of t h e Lambda Chi-Sigma Chi
game just about as clear as a dull prof's lecture on a sleepy
afternoon. The whole deal came off ' w h e n neither of the
teams were able to beg borrow or score a point in the regu­lar
time, causing a sudden death play-off to be started. Now,
t h e way the playoff works is t h a t each t e am gets four more
downs and the t e am piling up the most yardage in. t h i s time
wins 1-0. Sigma Chi got first licks and amassed a total of
minus two yards. Well, Lambda Chi tofbk the glorified piece
of pork and made nine yards on t h e / f i r s t play. There they
had it made until ole devil trouble r e a r e d its homely head.
On the last play of the four downs 'LCA was penalized for
holding and then all hell broke lose. By actual arithmetic
Sigma Chi was less deep in the hole than Lambda Chi and
the officials gave t h e game to the Sigs, 1-0. Lambda Chi pro­tested
and Coach Evans ruled t h a t / L a m b d a Chi won because
t h e y made more than enough yairdage to win on the first
down so the whole thing should' have stopped right there.
Now this humble writer d o e s n ' t ' k n ow whether this last de­cision
will s t a n d but we hope it iisn't changed too much more
because it would be bad if t h e y t u r n e d around and awarded
t h e decision to any f r a t e r n i t y other t h a n the two involved.
This isn't n e a r l y as impossible;as it sounds because anything
might come out of this mess. At the time of this w r i t i n g we
don't know t h e outcome of t h e I n t r a m u r a l Board meeting on
this subject. Anyway my verbal vote goes to a re-play which
seems the only way to bring light to the darkness. All this
could have been avoided if the rules had been made clear
and enforced at the time in t h e way the rules s t a t e (which,
by t h e way, is known and i n t e r p r e t e d by very few including
t h e officials).

The SAEs have a right fair offensive back in Joe Rollins
who r naone and passed for two other scores, in their victory
over the PKTs. Joe also kicked the extra point which made
up the total of 19 points which was the total scored by both
teams. That's a pretty healthy afternoon for a great big
healthy man.
The average American drank
34 times as much coffee as tea in
1946. According to the Encyclo­pedia
Britannica 1947 Book of the
Year, per capita coffee consump­tion
for the year was 17 pounds,
while tea consumpti o n was
slightly more than one-half
pound per person.
Hopeful: "Time me around the
track, Coach?"
"Coach: "Sure; but wait 'til I
get my calendar."
Teacher: "Johnny give the op-posites
as I read. Sorrow?"
Johnny: "Joy."
Teacher: "Misery?"
- Johnny.: "Happiness."
Teacher: "Woe?"
Johnny: "Giddap."
"Heck," exclaimed the contrac­tor
as one of the new houses
collapsed, " told those carpenters
not to take down the scaffolding
until after the wallpaper had been
put on."

Orange Shirts For State
Game, Suggests Newman
Ey Jim Watson
The latest fad on our campus is
to dye an old shirt orange, then
wear it to a football game. There
are really many advantages in
wearing an orange shirt. For in­stance,
what if you were tied to
a railroad track and in Hhe dis­tance
you hear the Lochapoka
Limited approaching' with its
usual speed of J (i centimeters per
second. If you had on a bright
orange shirt, all you would have
to .do. would be to hiccup three
or four times in order to wiggle
the shirt and flag down the train.
Of course The Plainsman would
never allow a column like this to
be printed without scientific
The Pep Commiitee urges all
male s t u d e n t s to wear an
orange shirt and a blue lie to
the Mississippi State game in
Birmingham, Nov. 8. H e ad
Cheerleader Bill Newman urges
everyone to write home'for an
old white shirt. It can be easily
dyed orange in time to be worn
to the Mississippi State pep
backing; so a freshman pledge
from Phi Letta Psi fraternity was
tied to the track down by the
depot. Was he wearing an orange
shirt? No, he wasn't even wear­ing
a shirt. Darn near caught
cold, too. At exactly 8:14 p.m.
the 7:14 express roared through
the "loveliest little village." As
soon as the sound of the whistle
faded into the distance) eager
scientsists rushed forward to see
what happened to the freshman
who did not wear an orange shirt.
They really don't know how bad­ly
he was hurt because they have­n't
found his head yet.
The orange shirt can have many
other uses. If two men with the
shirts will get together, they can
form a semaphore flag signalling
group which proves very handy
in poker playing. If the shirt is
dyed the proper color, you can
spill ketchup, soup, orange paint,
fingernail polish, shellac, amor­phous
nitrous oxide, beer, thous­and
island dressing, liquod stock­ings,
more beer, ethyl gasoline
and certain varieties of embalm­ing
fluid on your shirt without
the stain showing.
The shirts serve as excellent
camouflage for anyone hiding in
a crate of oranges. They can be
worn under a cellophane raincoat

TWO NEWCOMERS WILL
TAKE COMEDY LEAD IN
'MISTRESS OF THE INN'
By Phyllis Stough
Carol Dorrough and Shirley Braswell, two newcomers
to the Auburn Players, will provide much comedy in the
production, "The Mistress of the Inn", which is to be pre­sented
Nov. 10 by the Auburn Players.
They portray two gay actresses, interested in men and
money, and from what I saw of the play, the men are also
interested in them. But, girls, if
you want to take lessons in how
to keep men dangling, just see
this play—it's an unromantic
comedy about love.
Carol, whose name in the play
is Ortensia, is a transfer from
Judson College. This is her first
quarter with the Players, but she
is not lacking in experience.
While at Ensley High, Birming­ham,
she had roles in "The
Women", "Arsenic and Old Lace",
"Blithe Spirit", a n d " George
Washington Slept Here." She is a
sophomore now and a dramatics
major.
Shirley (Dejanira in the play)
is also a sophomore majoring in
dramatics. She transferred from
Huntington this quarter and is a
Chi Omega pledge. She is from
Decatur.
Asked how they became inte­rested
in acting, both almost si­multaneously
replied, "I've al­ways
been interested in acting."
A male reporter might have re­marked,
"Yes, aren't all women?"
The interest these girls have in
their work is evident when you
see them on stage. When they
aren't on stage, they are helping
construct scenery to be used for
this production and also the win­ter
quarter , production, "Gas
Light".
Rehearsals at the Y-hut, under
the direction of Prof. Telfair Peel
are well underway and the initial
opening promises to be another
great hit for the players. Others
in the cast include Betty Ramsey,
as mistress of the inn, who will
be featured in next week's Plains­man,
and five men.
by anyone who wants to go to a
costume party as a package of
oleo coloring. There are really
many good reasons why I think
that everyone should dye his
shirt orange for the next Pep-
Rally; but just because I have a
few shares of stock in the'Rit Dye
Company, don't think that I have
been influenced by outside forces.
