Road Race Today
Overton, Carley,
Maddox, Barrett,
Kosack To Race
Auburn's cross-country track
team will race against the best
distance runners in the Southeast

Story of Robert St. John's Career
Shows He's No 'Armchair Commentator'
A top-flight reporter, a sound analyst and interpreter of
the news, Robert St. John, who will appear here Dec. 11, at
the Student Activities building, possesses a rare sensitivity to
humanity—particularly to the "little people," a descriptive
phrase he is said to have originated when he lived and worked
side by side with the British people
during the. war.
For the greater part of 1°47
Robert St. John revisited a majority
of the 29 countries he covered
so brilliantly during his
career as a war correspondent.'
As a-representative of the magazine
'47 and as a foreign correspondent
for an independent
radio network which carried his
shortwave broadcasts' from New
York to California, he studied
conditions in Sweden, England,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Russia,
Yugoslavia, Greece, Hungary,
Turkey, Egypt, South Africa,
and Kenya Colony.
Writes of "Little People"
St. John brings to his observations
the wisdom and understanding
born of many years of
intimate contact not only with
the headline names but also with
the little people who made the
sacrifices and fought the battles
that won the war. In the winter
of 1944-45 he watched the dying
struggles of the Nazi monster
from vantage points in England
and France, and at the same time
produced his first novel written
against a background of war,
"It's Always Tomorrow."
Never an "armchair commentator,"
St. John is admired and
respected by his colleagues because
he has always persisted in
digging far below the surface for
his news and has welcomed dangers
and risks to bring inside information
to his listeners. He
knows what it is like to see
bombs rain from the sky, what
it means to evacuate with troops
under heavy fire, to view death
and destruction on all sides, He
has himself missed death a dozen
times and still carries a Nazi bullet
in his leg—a memento of the
tragic Grecian campaign.
Sees History in Making
He saw the partition of Rumania,
the abdication of King
Carol, the Rumanian earthquake,
the two Iron Guard Revolutions,
the entrance of the Nazi troops
into Bucharest and then into
Bulgaria, the fall of Yugoslavia,
the bombing of Belgrade and the
fall of Greece and Crete, the new
drive into the Middle East and
the bombing of Brifian.
Escaping from Greece on the
last British evacuation ship, St.
John arrived in England to become
NBC's London commentator.
There he followed a schedule
that would have exhausted a less
determined, a less selfless man.
He worked in a munitions factory,
helped dig air raid victims
from the ruins of Canterbury,
went down into mines and flew
with the R.A.F. over the North
Atlantic.
Hitler and Capone Shot Him
Behind the dramatic and hazardous
sequence of his experiences
lies a long and successful career
as reporter and editor of
Kappa Sigs Initiate
Jix New Members
The Beta Eta chapter of Kappa
Sigma had formal initiation Sun-
H»y. Nov. 23. for the following
men: Hamp McGee, Panama
^uy Beach, Fla.; James D. Holly,
Samson; Sam P. Dalhouse, Atlanta,
Ga.; Hugh DeJarnette, Birmingham;
Cyril Bugden, In wood,
L. L, N. Y.; Robert Turney,
Blaiksville, Pa.
.
News, Philadelphia Record, and
the Rutland (Vt.) Herald. Robert
St. John is probably the
only man in the world with scars
on one leg from Chicago's gangster,
Al Capone, and abullet in
the other from Europe's gangster,
A. Hitler. He received the
scars when he was taken for a
"ride" by Capone's henchmen
and left for dead in a ditch because
he attempted to expose the
racketeer in a newspaper he was
then editing in Cicero, Illinois.
In 1932, St. John was granted
a leave of' absence from his
duties as city editor of the Associated
Press in New York. He
retired to a farm in New Hampshire
where he devoted himself
to writing and to the scientific
breeding of chickens. In the
summer of 1939, sensing the imminence
of world catastrophe, he
rejoined AP and asked to be sent
abroad. He arrived in Paris on
that fateful September 1st when
Poland was invaded. The war
odyssey was to carry him
i through twenty-nine countries
and bring him world-renown began
with the Polish campaign.
Popular Writer
Robert St. Jonn is a popular
contributor to such leading magazines
as Collier's, Liberty,
American Magazine, Cosmopolitan,
Coronet, Reader's Digest,
Town and Country, and such
outstanding English newspapers
as the London Daily Express and
Sunday Express and the London

His first book, "From the Land
of Silent People," is the graphic
story of the four terrible weeks
which followed his flight from
Belgrade. Critics repeatedly it
"the best book to come out of
World War II." His novel, "It's
Always Tomorrow" is an exciting
and authentic portrait of a
European war correspondent.

Wilbur Hall Hutseil
He has coached Auburn track teams for
a quarter-century.
Results have been so heavy on the vict
o r y side that we need not mention defeats.
We like to call him "Coach" regardless
of the occasion and he always responds in
his own warm, friendly way—the Auburn
way.
During grid season "Coach" sees to it
t h a t the football players stay in the pink
of condition while at the same time he
keeps a watchful eye on some of his track
hopefuls for t h e coming season.
No sooner does he discharge his warriors
of the gridiron t h a n he issues a call for his
cinder performers to appear for work.
One of the busiest men on the campus,
Coach Hutseil always has time to stop and
engage in a bit of chatter with t h e fellows.
Wilbur Hall Hutseil has t u r n e d out some
of the leading track stars of America, he
holds positions high among the leading
t r a c k authorities of the country, but regardless
of his many honors he still possesses
the modest boyish dignity that
makes h im one of t h e most beloved figures
on the A u b u r n campus.
How Green?
At a meeting of student leaders several
quarters ago, Sam W. Brewster, director
of buildings and grounds, talked briefly
about students walking on the grass.
At that time his department was busy
paving walks on Ag Hill, and remarked
that it might be a good idea to pave the
entire campus and paint it green.
We are inclined to agree with* Mr.
Brewster that it would be a good idea—
but a little out- of reason.
Many students, we see them every day,
pay no attention to the grass or walkways.
New pathways criss-cross the grassed areas
that weren't there a year ago. A larger
enrollment and more buildings on the
campus has created these unpaved walks,
and it is understood. But those students
who deliberately walk on open grassed
areas and stamp across seeded plots do ,
the damage.
Auburn does not have any "Keep off the
Grass" signs. They are unsightly and we
don't want them. Let's keep off the grass
voluntarily.
Water Fountains
There are a great many water fountains
scattered about the campus, but it's next
to impossible to get a drink from most of
them. We wonder if they were installed
to serve thirsty students, or merely as
ornaments for the edification of the
aesthetic minded.
The outdoor fountains at Samford Hall
a r e nearly always out of order or filled
w i t h leaves and other trash so badly that
not even an A r a b would drink from them.
There's a tricky little number in Ross
Chemical Lab which tantalizes with a
t r i c k l e but fails to quench a thirst. A
fountain in Comer Hall goes on the blink
regularly. Over on Vet Hill there is a(
fountain which doesn't seem to have
spouted this century. It serves as a catchall
for dust and other undesirable items.
We suggest that the fountain situation
t a k e high priority on any list of improvements
contemplated by the college. The
old ones which are no good should be replaced
by modern fountains that work.
If t h e r e is an organization on the campus
which wishes to do something beneficial
for future generations, it could fill
no greater need than that of drinking
fountains. M
What is an education?
This question is becoming more and more
prominent, in t h e minds of college students
today t h a n ever before.
A majority of boys and girls spend at
least nine years of their life in school;
some go to high school and add four to t h at
nine and still others make it to college for
an additional four or five years. After that
may come g r a d u a t e work that will require
several more years of study. It all adds up
to t h e fact that boys and girls spend anywhere
from nine to seventeen years in
school t r y i n g to learn facts that someone
else has accumulated, and accumulate some
of their own.
Still, is an education composed of facts
alone? Can a student go through these
many years of school works and come out
saying that he has an education? Can an
education be. derived from books alone?
These questions are the ones that are becoming
so important today.
When students leave for college they get
t h e age-old advice, "Study those books and
get all you can out of them; leave t h e gadding
about to the social hot shots." Some
of them take this advice and stick solely
to books and nothing else. Consequently
when they leave college they have the
largest capacity of "book learning" in
t h e i r class, 'but they have neglected the
practical side of their education.
We are not throwing off on books and
t h e study of them, but we do not believe
t h a t an education should not be confined
to books alone and the extra-curricula
p a r t of college life be neglected entirely.
We heard a mathematics professor tell
his class once t h a t one of t h e most brilliant
men he knew in college was now running
a gas station and t r y i n g to make a living.
The reason given for this w a s . t h a t he devoted
his e n t i r e time in school to t h e study
of books.
An education cannot be the accumulation
of facts alone. Students spend too
much time as it is on the unimportant
things of- life. ' T h e y waste time and
wonder why it is that they can't get all
done t h a t they want to do. Brilliance alone
will not make you successful. You have
to use judgment and common sense in
everything you u n d e r t a k e to do.
In our estimation a college graduate
should be able to look back over his college
career after graduation and find that
he has a well-rounded and cultural education,
one in which he has met books and
has mastered the art of getting the most
out of t h em in the shortest possible time;
one in which he has met people and knows
how to deal with them; an education from
which a man has resulted—not a bookworm.
Christmas Muisic
The annual series of Christmas musical
programs presented by the churches
and other groups has grown to be one of
Auburn's best traditions. Announced already
are plans for presentation of "The
Messiah" by the community chorus, a Cantata
by the Baptist choir, and a special
concert by the Presbyterian choir. Other
programs will be announced later.
These musical programs have grown
widely popular and usually standing room
is at a premium. They add to the beauty
and joy of the Christmas Season as nothing
else that has been offered here. Those
who direct and sing in the choral groups
and church choirs might not realize it, but
they have the genuine appreciation of the
entire community for the hard work they
put into these programs. Those who participate
in presenting the Christmas musicals
are making a large contribution to
the religious and cultural life of Auburn.

Pencil Sharpeners
Students can be seen on t h e campus with
bandages and band aids on every finger;
they can be seen spitting priceless enamel
fro their teeth; they can be hard uttering
vehement oaths.
Why? Simply because Auburn does not
have a sufficient number of pencil sharpeners.
Consequently, the students are
forced to sharpen their pencils with knives,
their teeth, and by any means available.
College authorities should have pencil
sharpeners installed on every floor of the
various buildings on the campus. Action
of this n a t u r e would be welcomed wholeh
e a r t e d l y by the students and would perf
o rm an invaluable service.

A Dash of Bitters ti^*™* RAMBLING
Isn't it nice of Professor Whozit to let us smoke in class?
The Plastic Tower By Ralph Jennings
. The other day, a student named. Winston Peterson came
into the Plainsman office with a copy of. the First Methodist
Messenger, a publication put out. by a church in Atlanta: In
it was a comment by Pierce. Harris,'minister of the church,
concerning Auburn's cheering section. Herewith is Mr. Harris'
statement:
With the solid South showing
signs of splitting down the middle,
thje Republicans are sensing
their first chance in eighty
years to gather strength below
the Mason-Dixon line. The higher
ups in the GOP are, naturally, reluctant
to voice any such sentiments
nationally. To do so would
probably throw a scare into the
Southern conservatives t h at
would take them years to recover
from. It is the same psychology
used by some football coaches
before their big games. They play
down their own chances and play
up those of the opponents. It
must be recognized that the Republican
party has g a i n ed
strength here in the South. This
gain has not been due to the efforts
of their leaders alone.
Some of the situations that
have faced tht Democrats have
been handled rather loosely. The
Democratic party has neglected
to develop any popular young politician.
They have perhaps, been
too busy running the government
to give any real attention
to their own future. Then again,
under Roosevelt's leadership, it
seemed ridiculous to think of another
leader. Obviously, there
was no need for another chief as
long as Roosevelt was around.
Four times he demonstrated his
ability to master any opponent
the Republicians could scare up.
For some unknown .reason, he
Democrats seemed to get the idea
that he would go on forever, and
there was no need of grooming a
replacement.
It was a case of a team with an
unbeatable first string but no reserves.
When the first team was
suddenly gone, the Democrats
found themselves running against
a seasoned Republican outfit,
deep in reserve strength and eager
to avenge the four successive defeats
they had suffered at the
hands of trie Roosevelt machine.
To a party grown accustomed to
the sure leadership of a great politician,
the ready acceptance of a
leader of only mediocre talents
was impossible.
Although he has tried desperately
to do so, President Truman
has failed to keep the Democratic
party togdther. The 1948 campaign
has caught the Democrats
off balance. Apparently, Mr. Truman
is their only possible choice.
From now until the election, the
Democrats best weapon against
the Republicans will be the Republicans
themselves. However,
judging from the performances
of some GOP leaders, that one
weapon may be enough.

Of the European nationalities,
one of the strongest, presenting
the most perfect cohesion with
the greatest variety of aptitudes,
is certainly the English people.
This is what the author of Robinson
Crusoe wrote two centuries,
ago, in answer to the attacks of
the true-born Englishman against
the invasion of the Dutch element
that followed in the wake of William
of Orange. Ex GFs will remember
some of the effusive criticism
of the English:
"These are the heroes that despise
the Dutch,
And rail at new-come foreigners
so much;
Forgetting that themselves are
all derived
From the most scoundrel race
that ever lived;
A horrid crowd of rambling
thieves and drones
Who ransacked kingdoms, and
dispeopled towns;
The Pict, and painted Briton,
treach'rous Scot,
By hunger, theft, and rapine,
hither brought;
Norwegian pirates, buccaneering
Danes,
Whos e red - haired offspring
everywhere remains;
Who join'd with N o r m an
French, compound the
breed
From whence your true-born
Englishman proceed."
One cold foggy night in sunny
England, I adjusted my dinner
jacket as I sat gazing into the
fire, and began to nibble on a
ham sandwich. The sandwich finished,
I wiped my mouth on my
sleeve, and broke the seal on an
ancient bottle of N a p o l e on
brandy, and sat for a moment relaxed,
when suddenly I heard a
faint rapping at the door. "Now
who could that be at this hour?"
I thought, and opening the door,
to my amazement, was an old
turkey gobbler.
"Come in, come in, my friend,
what brings you out on such a
night", I said in my best pidgin
English.
"Hoot Mon", said the visitor,
"It is on this night each year that
I am very sad, and while you are
yet an American, I thought, perhaps,
I might find a bit of sympathy."
"But what could be troubling
you this night?" I said, "Be happy,
it is Thanksgiving".
"What a lot of rot", he spoke
up "That is yet the trouble. Do
you realize the number of turkeys
that died a martyr's death
today?" This being said, he tore
the bottle out of my hand and
took a lusty drink. He smacked
his lips and wiped his beak on
my other sleeve. I could tell by
his gaze that he had a story he
wanted to tell, so I held out a
lighted match to his cigar, and
patiently waited.
"You Americans," he went on,
"make me sick. When the Pilgrims
landed, they were starving
to death, and the turkey league
cooperated to the fullest. In fact,
the famous words," Thank God
for turkeys" made the headline's
of the Times. Even though we
lost a fine lad, we let it pass
and thought, perhaps that we
would go down into posterity, and
the matter would be forgotten,
but oh no, ybu Americans are
no one to forget. Whenever something
makes the "Times", you declare
a national holiday. Not content
with that you've got to. eat
turkey every Thanksgiving. It's
a lot of damn nonsense," he went
on, "and something should be
done about it.' '
He took another nip from the
bottle and this time wiped his
mouth on my lapel. The old boy
was in a bad state, but the
brandy was making him sleepy,
and in a little while, he was sound
asleep, but not before he had
made me promise to write a burning
editorial, demanding the air
medal for every Thanksgiving
turkey.

Letters to the Editor
„ December 1, 1947
Dear Editor Coleman,
How long will the students of
Auburn have to listen to the same
tune "Auburn will have a football
team next year"? In four years
what has Carl Voyles given students
and alumni to rave about?
Answering the lean war years
excuse advanced in Rambling;
what about other schools in the
Southeastern Conference? For instance
take University of Mississippi,
Vanderbilt University and
University of Kentucky. None had
more if as much as Auburn during
the war. So Voyles has a team
ready to "reap harvest," but what
kind of harvest is the question;
maybe two conference wins per
season?
What has Voyles done to further
the "Auburn Spirit"? Prior to the
1944 season the "Spirit' was second
to^none in the country but
it is far from it today. Team Spirit
players but Voyles has done nothing
for the spirit of the boys out
for football. In fact he can't even
keep many of the players who
have come to Auburn to play
ball. The traveling squad may
not be able to talk but ask many
players on the campus who are
not playing now what they think
to be wrong with Auburn's football
team. Or why did Gilmer,
Mancha, Hodges and many others
leave Auburn?
Also there are Conference rules
as to what extent colleges may
subsidize atheletes. If Auburn
can't meet these regulations she
should get the hell out of the Conference.
But with a good coach
Auburn can match any team in
the South.
In closing I would like to ask
Carl Voyles if he would leave Auburn
if he were paid off in full
since it seems money is the only
reason he is here, instead of at
Hensel

It would pay us well to heed
that advice. Too many of us attend
college with the idea that
there is little here to help us.
Knowledge is like love—it
must be experienced to be
known. Yet, a little love, like a N
little knowledge, is worse than
none at all.
/ The object of college is not to
teach you everything. You are
not expected to
- k n o w everything
when you
leave here. But,
you will be expected
to realize
the value
of things. Col-l
e g e training
should broaden
y o u r outlook,
on life; instill
within you the
ability to learn;
make you willing
to accept the other man's
ideas and methods.
Before you try for that big
"break" in life, take inventory-
Know yourself; get acquainted
with what you know; get acquainted
with what you can do.
Don't try; to sell a bad bill of
goods to a prospective employer.
Deceit is a sure way to widen
the wrungs of that long ladder
you will soon begin to climb.
Confucius once said, "The essence
of knowledge is, having it,
to apply it; not having it, to
confess your ignorance."

In case you have been wondering
what to do about the increasing
accident rate, and what
to do in the line of prevention,
THE TIE, publication for the
Capitol Heights Baptist Church in
Montgomery, offers the following:
If you are NOT prepared to
die.
"DO NOT ride or get in the
way of automobiles, as they are
the cause of over 24 per cent of
all accidents.
DO NOT stay at home, as over
17 per cent of all accidents happen
inside of the home. If you
must be at home, stay outside;
because only 8.5 per cent of all
accidents occur around the outside
of the house.
DO NOT walk on the street if l'
you can avoid it, as 10 per cent
of all accidents occur to pedestrians.
DO NOT travel by air, rail or
water, because 6 per cent of all
accidents are a result of travelling.
DO NOT indulge in sports of
any kind, under any. circumstances,
for nearly 20 per cent of
all accidents result from this
cause.
DO NOT do anything or go
anywhere, for the remaining 14.5
per cent are miscellaneous accidents.

Being saved, you will be prepared
to die anywhere,- anytime."

The Pleonastic Tower
By Milch Sharpe
"Apres moi, le deluge . . . peut-etre"—
French proverb
Ralph Jennings is wrong! Re;-
The Plastic Tower, last edition.
I know it sounds unethical but
he is mistaken. The country is
not even in the remotest danger i
of being taken over by a military
clique. There will be no insidious
invasion and subsequent dictatorship.
Ralph has been looking at the
situation through extremely dark
glasses indeed. I know the army
and its machinations. I was connected
with that firm during the
recent war to make the world
safe for democracy (or was that
the one before the last one?). I
have a fairly good knowledge of
how it operates. Basing my argument
on this knowledge and logical
assumptions, I still maintain
that the country is safe. Universal
Military Training is no pathway
or landing strip for a militaristic
government.
What would be necessary before
a coup d'etat could be actuated
in this country where they
are unknown? For one thing
many, many months of top secret
and highly coordinated planning.
That would mean no news releases,
no pictures of smiling generals
shaking hands with each
other, no Legion of Merit awards
for gallantry in boondoggling.
Complete secrecy. Does that
sound likely?
To go farther into the machinery
of this hypothetical revolution,

Varsity Cagers To Play Saturday Night
MEET MISSISSIPPI STATE MAROONS
IN ALUMNI GYM AT 7:30 P. M.
By Ronald Knerner
Coach Danny Doyle's Auburn cagers will swing into action
here Saturday when they open their season by taking
on a Southeastern Conference opponent in the Mississippi
State Maroons. The game is scheduled for Alumni Gym at
7:30 p.m.
<
Plunging into one of the toughest
schedules in the history of the
will be lacing SEC foes in 14 of
20 games.
Students must bring their
student activities b o o k with
coupon number eight attached
for admission. No student will
be admitted without this book.
Prices for others will be $1 for
adults and 50 cents for children.
Saturday's game, which is the
opening tilt for both teams, will
see. an Auburn team made up
mostly of new men. Only five
men are left over from last year's
aggregation and of these five only
a few are listed as possible starters
against the Maroons. Ray Williams,
fast-moving forward, is
one of the lettermen returning
from last season who might get
a starting berth. Erk Russell and
Joe Sterling also might get starting
bids.
Listed as possibles for forward
positions are Williams, George
Hill, a freshman from Ohio; and
W. C. Mobbeiiy, another newcomer
to the Plains. Two of these
three will start against State,
while either Benton Duncan, ace
player from Phil Campbell's state
championship team of last year,
or Glenn Dixon, six foot, seven
incher will be at the center post.
Guard possibles are Roy Braw-ner,
Joe Sterling, and Don Lan-ford,
three potential swifties.
Doyle, former star with the
Oklahoma A&M cagers, has been
wasting no time in getting his
team rounded into shape and has
been driving his team hard for
the past couple of weeks. He has
high hopes of topping last year's
record, despite the tough schedule
which is lined up for the
team. Last year's group won but
four out of 20 games. Star of last
year's group was returning letter-man
Williams who was among the
top ten scorers in the conference.
However, the large part of this
pear's quintet will get its power
fro mthe frosh class, as is evident
as shown by the number of
frosh listed as possible starters.
Listed among those who the
Tigers will face are Florida, Mississippi
State, Vanderbilt, Georgia
Tech, LSU, Georgia, Tulanc,
Illinois Wesleyan, Oglethorpe,
Washington U of St. Louis, and
Mercer. After taking on the Maroons,
the Auburn quintet will
hit the road, facing Florida, Tu-lane,
Bradley, 111. Wesleyan and
Washington.

WRESTLING STARTS
AFTER HOLIDAYS
After several months of practice
Coach A. W. Umbach's wrestling
team will swing into action

Umbach expects more prospects
to start practice now that
football is finished up and this
group will receive re-inforce-ments
from a group of intramural
matmen who will join the
team.
Ubmach's '46 team presents a
high mark to shoot at. The team
won six bouts, while losing but
two, copping the SEC championship
and having seven individual
champs.'His charges may not do
as well this season, but with all
the youth in the team, the prospects
will be bright^for coming
season.
Listed as good prospects by
Umbach were:

Keys; 128 Gregg Scott and Rudolph
Hill; 136—John McKenzie
and Jack Orcutt; 145—Carol Keller,

PiKA Advances
To l-F Finals
By Bruce Greenhill *
PiKA advanced to the finals
of the playoff for interfraternity
champion by defeating SPE while
SAB eliminated Alpha Psi in
Wednesday's play. In the previous
day's games SPE whipped
Alpha Psi and PiKA took its first
victory by decisioning SAE. The
finals will be played Monday and
Tuesday, the Pike's opponent being
the winner of the SPE-SAE
game which was to have been
played yesterday.
All Star Jim Dow threw both
touchdown passes as PiKA beat
SPE 14-0. Flash Riley and John
Lindsey were the receivers and
"Yank" Stahnke's educated toe
put the ball through the uprights
to round out the, scoring and
earn PiKA a finals berth. All
Stars Fleming, Wiggonton and
Reynolds played well for SPE
while another All Star, Dub Ellis
shone for the winners.
All Star Joe Rollins was a
busy man in the 28-6 victory the
SAE's scored over Alpha Psi. He
threw all four of the scoring passes
and topped this performance
off by kicking four extra points.
His tosses were hauled in by Phillips
and Mangrum two times
each. Williams passed to Moree
for the Alpha Psi score. Johnson
and Tisdale were the defensive
stalwarts for the winners and
losers respectively.
In Tuesday's play SPE trounced
Alpha Psi 18-7. F 1 e m i n g
passed to Wiggonton twice and
to Gatewood once for the Sig Ep
scoring. A 30 yard Williams to
Moree aerial counted for AP.
Reynolds and Brown also stood
out for SPE and Tisdale looked
great for the losers.
In the Pike victory Dow threw
four touchdown passes; to Lindsay
twice, and one apiece to
Bailey and Jones. An All Star
pass, Rollins to Phillips, made
the first SAE marker. Rollins
also threw the other scoring pass
this time to Mangrum. With All
Star Ellis' (Pike) and Johnson
(SAE) still shining the game
ended with PiKA on top 24-12.

SIGMA CHI WINS
INTERFRATERNITY
WRESTLING TITLE
Sigma Chi captured the interfraternity
wrestling championship
last Tuesday night before a
crowd of 1400 students. Coach
Evans announced that the sportsmanship
was excellent and this
has been the most outstanding
meet of interfraternity wrestling
since the. end of the war.
Theta Chi took runner-up honors,
followed closely by KA. Sigma
Chi barely captured the title
with 25 points; Theta Chi had
24; and Kappa Alpha, 23.

Through the guidance of the
excellent advisory committee and
the hard work of the prospective
staff, the approval of the Council
of Deans has been obtained for
republication of The Auburn Engineer.
With this approval the
staff can now make definite plans
for the first issue. Steps have already
been taken to obtain material
for the magazine; and at a
meeting held by the co-editors,
a tenative setup was planned to
place all material at the editors'
disposal in order to meet the first
deadline. If anyone is interested
in woring on the staff of the Engineer
in any capacity whatsoever,
with or without experience,
he . can contact Al Durrance at
920 or Ed Ashmead at 426-W.
The business staff under the
guidance of Al Collins and Frank
Robinson has already made some
contacts in an effort to obtain
advertising for the first issue.
Anyone interested in that line or
in the circulation of the magazine
should contact Frank at
433.
A subscription drive beginning
Dec. 10 and lasting three days
will be the definite sign of an
issue coming out this quarter between
quarters. The drive will
be sponsored by the Engineers'
Council, and every engineering
student on the campus will b,e
contacted. If this drive is successful,
then we can be sure that
The Auburn Engineer that we
have been missing for so long is
back to stay.

Dean Hannum's letter to Paul
Persons, president of the Engineers'
Council, informing him
of the approval of the Engineer
by the Council of Deans read as
follow:
Dear Paul:
"I have the distinct pleasure of
notifying you and, through you,
notifying the engineering societies'
representatives on the Auburn
Engineers' Council that the
Council of Deans, at its meeting
on November 25, 1947, unanimously
approved the republication
of The Auburn Engineer.
"The publication of The Auburn
Engineer by the engineering student
body, under the sponsorship
of the Auburn Student Engineers'
Council is a worthy and
worthwhile an undertaking as
could be carried on by the Council.
The magazine will not only
serve as a splendid medium for
publicizing the activities of the
student engineering societies, but
it will, also, serve as a valuable
educational device in providing
our students with the experience
of writing, editing, and managing
an engineering publication.
''I wish all of you the greatest
success in this undertaking. I
know that you, your associates,
and your successors in the Auburn
Student Engineers' Council
will set forth every effort to
make The Auburn Engineer one
of the finest publications of its
kind to be found in any engineering
college. I will follow its development
with the greatest interest
and want you to know you
can call upon me at any time for
such assistance as I may be able
to give."
Sincerely yours,
J. E. Hanhum
Dean of Engineering

there were no wounded enlisted

No, no, the state of this nation

Editor, The Plainsman
Dear Jimmy,
I am writing this letter to express
my approval of the subject
matter used in "The Plastic Tower"
by Kalph Jennings which
JESTERS SCHEDULED
FOR TWO DANCES
The 'Jesters' will play Friday
night for the SPE Masquerade
Ball. Saturday they are scheduled
to play at the Delta Sigma
Phi formal in the Rose Room of
the Midway Tavern.

with Bill Cole as vocalist, is*
the first group of its type on the
campus. They have been active
this quarter furnishing 'live'
music at functions which do not
warrant a complete orchestra.
appeared in the November 25 issue.
It concerned the danger of
the "military mind" permeating
our government, and the danger
of military men themselves. I
think it was a very timely article
and that more national publicity
should be given to this subject.
I don't think, from what I have
heard, that I would be far from
wrong if I said that Jennings expressed
the thoughts of thousands
of veterans here and elsewhere
concerning this question.
To his statement, "An infiltration
of the military into our government
would be nothing short
of degeneracy, degeneration, and
fascism — pure and simple," I
would like to sound off a loud
"Amen, brother!"
Sincerely,
Bob Moore
Dear Editor; .
I am writing this in a very informal
manner, as I feel that my
subject must be discussed in an
informal manner.
I definitely believe that the student
body of Alabama Polytechnic
Institute should express its
opinion of the present athletic
setup, as most, of them are discussing
it on the campus. If the
students were as assured of the
fact that the administration was
not going to get hold of their
name -as I was hold by reliable
members of The Plainsman staff,
I definitely -feel that they would
be willing to write to the editor
of the school publication and express
their views without fear of
expulsion from school.
Our athletic department has
been headed by the same man for
the past four years. The showing
of his teams in the SEC has been
nil. Florida has been turned under
as the weaK sister of the SEC
for two successive years. I have
wondered with each year whether
Auburn deserved the honor.
Coach Voyles seems to be offering
as his greatest arguments
the fact that we have not had an
experienced team. 'If this is so,
then why has he been losing
players for the past four years
that he himself has coached?
The honorable (?) coach of the
football team has stated this year
that he can beat any sopohomore
team in the country. But what
coach with any ability would
field a team of- sophomores unless
they were a winning combination?
Certainly, the coaches in the SEC
use the men they think are best
for their first string. Does Voyles
think that because he has nothing
left but sophomores that no one
else should use juniors and seniors?
Maybe the only reason that
Vanderbilt beat us is that they
used mostly freshmen for the last
half of the game instead of sophomores.
If each member of the student
body would contribute a small
sum, it would be possible to buy
up this interloper's contract. I
don't think anyone would miss
anything except the price of tht
old Auburn Spirit which is found
as a rarity on the campus now.
I have read only praise for
Carl Voyles in The Plainsman.
Last week the secretary of our
famed coach wrote an article saying
that we had bad luck. I can
only say that there is no team in
the conference that had less bad
luck than we except for Alabama.
We had only one injured player
that was of any significance. Why
can't our coaching staff face the
fact that they are not for Auburn?
I only ask of The Plainsman
that it publish this letter with the
understanding that I have only
the student interest at heart, and
that I have only praise for its
other accomplishments. I have
merely been, informed that there
is a definite lack of material on
his subject, and I have spoken
my little piece. If anyone who
writes on the editorial page has
the answers to my questions then
I am perfectly, content to take
their word for the situation, but
if not, then why doesn't our coach
make some comment rather than
"wait 'till next year?"
