B And G Deputies
To Give Traffic
Violators Tickets
API is now ready to clamp
down on traffic violators. Four
Building and Ground foremen
have been made deputies and are
authorized to give traffic tickets
to careless drivers on the campus.
The first offenders will receive
warning to observe safety rules.
Second offenders can expect a
regular traffic violation ticket.
A Building a n d Grounds
spokesman states that the major
offenders are of the following
types: parking in prohibited
zones, parking too near intersec­tions,
parking on the wrong side
of the street, parking too far
from the curb, failure to observe
stop signs, and violating the
fifteen mile-per - hour campus
speed limit.
"This program", Chief Clyde
Ellis said, "was designed to make
the campus a safer place. The
program must be continued be­cause

VETERANS' NOTICE
Veterans who will not be in
college this summer are to re­port
to the office of the coordin­ator
of veterans affairs. Those
who have hot received pre-regis-tration
material are asked to
notify the office of change-of-a
d d r e s s . Veterans changing
courses should report as soon as
possible.
"Careless drivers", he contin­ued,
"should take notice that re­cords
are kept on all tickets giv­en
and that habitual offenders
records will be turned over to the
city police and the state highway
patrol.
Employment Bureau
To Be Operated
For API Veterans
In an effort to utilize the skills
of the veterans who are in school,
the Auburn Veterans association
has made plans for establishing
an employment bureau.
While in the service, a large
sumber of veterans became skill­ed
craftmen. Feeling that' this
talent could be utilized in com­bating
the current labor shortage
in Auburn, the association will
attempt to obtain as much work
for the veterans as possible.
All veterans, members of the
association or not, are urged to
contact Mr. Wiley Allen, assist­ant
director of student affairs,
and leave their names if they are
interested in doing part-time
work.
At the present time there is a
need for skiilled carpenters,
painters, mechanical workers,
electrical workers. Men are also
wanted for general labor.
The first Short Course and
Conference for Alabama water
and* sewage operators will be
held in Auburn beginning May
22 and lasting through May 25.
The course is sponsored jointly
by the State Department of Pub­lic
Health, The University of Ala­bama
and API, and is under the
general direction of Alex O. Tay­lor,
director of the Engineering
Extension Service of API.
The purpose of the conference
is to bring together the operators
of sewage and water plants in
Alabama in order that they may
exchange ideas and suggestions
for the benefit of all. The princi­pal
speakers will be men who are
connected with this type of work
and are acquainted with the type
of problems which arise.
During the conference the group
will inspect nearby water and
sewage plants and will also hear
lectures by water and sewage
executives and engineers. Motion
pictQre films will supplement the
program. It is planned to use the
round table type of discussion at
most of the meetings.
The conference will seek to
bring out the importance of prop­er
handling of water. Methods of
purifying and keeping pure the
water supply in cities and towns
will be discussed. And equally
important will be the discussions
of sewage disposal. Failure to
properly handle sewage results in
the pollution of the rivers and
bodies of water nearby and quite
often of the water supply itself.
This invariably results in epi­demics-:
of. diseases such as tyi
pho'id fever.
It is intended to make this
conference of, by and for the
operators. A carefully prepared
program is planned to cover as
nearly as possible all the funda­mentals
believed to be necessary
for all operators, both large and
small.
A copy of the program, togeth­er
with the names of the speakers
will be printed in the next issue
of The Plainsman. Mr. Taylor has
extended an-invitation to any in­terested
students to attend any of
the sessions.
The Engineering Extension Ser­vice
hopes that it will be. possible
in the future to hold other short
courses and conferences covering
matters of interest to engineers
and technical workers in public
utilities. Every effort is being
made to arrange for these courses
at the present time.

Jack Jones and Dot Harper Best
In Title Roles of David and Claudia
By Mimi Simms
Curtain calls are in order for the entire cast of "Claudia,"
the Auburn Players' spring production which is undisputedly
the best play of the year. •
Director Telfair B. Peet did an exceptionally good job of
selecting the comedy drama suited to a college group. The
casting is excellent.
Jack Jones took top honors for
his consistently fine performance
as David. His telephone conversa­tion
with Mrs. Brown was one of
the finest character revealations
in the play.
Dot Harper, in the title role of
Claudia, delighted her audience
by developing "both sides of her
potentialities." Although her per­formance
was more uneven than
that of the leading man, she play­ed
her part with rare understand­ing.
Bill Ethridge as Fritz managed
German dialect with an ease
seldom seen on the Y-Hut stage.
His was the outstanding perform­ance
from a supporting character.
Veteran Player Maria "Skippy"
Duchac added enough hours in

The band will play the Barber
of Seville Overture, selections
from "The New Moon", numbers
from "Hansel and Gretel", and
others. A coronet solo will be
played by B. D. Furgeson.
The Male Chorus, directed by
Dr. Hollace Arment, will sing
numbers by Grieg, Cain, and An­drews.

Registration Dates ^
For Enrolled Students
Students in the Schools of
Science and Literature and En­gineering
will register for the
summer quarter May 14 through
May 24. They will be notified of
their faculty advisors by mail.
Other schools will hold regis­tration
May 20-24. Physical edu­cation
assignments will be made
by the PE departments (men and
women) and schedules will be
checked by the Registrar's rep­resentative
in Student Center be­tween
9 a. m. and 5 p. m. May
22 through May 24.
Veterans now enrolled in school
please note that the blue identi­fication
card is stamped by the
PE Dept. This stamp excuses vet­erans
from PE and will eliminate
their going through the PE line
during registration. In case of
error contact the PE office in
Alumni Gym before pre-registra-tion
on May 20.
Fees will be paid in the base­ment
of Samford Hall on the
above dates, late fees effective
May 25 for students now enrolled
in college. The charge will be
five dollars for the first day, one
dollar each additional day up to
a maximum of 10 dollars.
Men who wish to enroll for ad­vanced
ROTC training for the
summer quarter must contact the
military department and com­plete
the required AGG tests
prior to 4 p. m., Thursday, May
16.
Col. S. A. Dickson, assistant
PMS&T, states that a limited
number of new applicants will
be accepted for advanced mili­tary
next quarter.
A new eligibility standard for
the advanced training permits a
veteran drawing disability com­pensation
to enroll provided he
passes a physical examination.
Due allowance will be made for
correctable physical defects, and
temporary defects may be waived
by the commanding general of
the "service command, but physi­cal
disabilities or defects of such
a nature that they will likely ex­ist
at the time of graduation from
the ROTC may not be waived.
All former enlisted men having
one year or more of active serv­ice
in the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps or Coast Guards, are eligi­ble.
Age: Not less than 19 years,
not past 27 years at the time of
admission.
A minimum AGCT score of 110.
Applicant must have a credit­able
record in college work.
Honorable discharge from the
armed service in which he served.
At least two college years to
complete at the time of enroll­ment
to assure time to complete
the advanced course.
Men who enroll in advanced
ROTC receive a monetary subsis­tence
allowance of approximately
$20 each month, commutation of
uniform and texts, a commission
as a second lieutenant of the
Officers Reserve Corps upon suc­cessful
completion of two years
advanced ROTC, and 18 credit
hours toward graduation.
In a play less rich in talent, both
coeds would have been rated as
the outstanding supporting char­acters.
Lenny Payne as Jerry Sey-moure
faced the usual trouble
with the British dialect. His per­formance
was best when he drop­ped
the thicker accent. The po­tentialities
of the scene between
Jerry and David were not fully
developed, although the dialogue
sparkled in sports.
Margalene Bain Culpepper has
proved her worth as a maid in
several plays. As Bertha in
"Claudia", her performance is
no exception. Most Auburn play­goers
feel that she is really for a
larger role.
The play was marked by a lack
of line-garbling a n d noticably
fine characterizations. Students
taking the parts of older char­acters
did much better than
usual.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 15,1946 «^THE P L A I N S M AN Page Three
VETERANS' VIEWS
We've been watching for signs of an imvasion of the
Auburn campus, with its large number of World War II
Veterans, by one of the big professional veterans associations.
So far, there haven't been any such signs.
There are, of course, a few members of the American
Legion, or the Veterans of Foreign Wars among our students.
But these few seem to be content in keeping quiet about
their membership. At least, they don't seem to have made
any concerted effort to attract other members to their ranks.
Of course, the V.F.W. didn't
exactly endear itself to Auburn
by it's recent Birmingham attack
on API, the University, and oth­ers.
Dr. Duncan offered ample
proof in the press that the VFW
was all wet, as far as Auburn
was concerned, in its accusations
that API was "turning down ap­plications
for admission by Ala­bama
Veterans." Rumor has it
that the President also invited
the VFW complainers to come
down to visit the school, eat
chicken with him, and take a
look for themselves. At any rate,
we haven't seen any more such
attacks in the papers.
And the American Legion's
constant demands for aid for its
members (primarily of interest to
World War I veterans) hasn't
made that organization too popu­lar
with the new crop of ex-spldiers.
A new veterans organization,
called the AVC, seems to be
making quite a play for World
War II veterans. Chapters, or
companies, or posts of whatever-they-
call-'ems of the AVC have
been organized on a number of
U. S. campuses. From what we've
seen of this organization, it has
certain qualities which should in­terest
the veteran of the second
world war. Purposes of the AVC
appear to be to help the veteran
establish himself in civilian life
rather than to get congress to
hand him the world on a silver
platter.
* * *
Of interest to those of us who
were enlisted men in the war, is
the new "terminal leave" pay bill
now before Congress. It would
provide terminal leave pay to en­listed
men (and former enlisted
men) just as officers received it.
That means that each enlisted
man discharged by his branch
of the service, would receive pay
for an after-discharge furlough.
If a man had been in service for
a year, for example, he would
rate 30 days furlough. If he'd
taken 15 of those days, he'd have
terminal leave pay for 15 more
days coming to him. That would
be paid to him, by check, after his
discharge. The limit, in the bill,
is 120 days. In other words, a
man who'd been in service for
four years,- without ever having
a furlough, could receive up to
four months pay after discharge.
The bill would provide retro­active
payments of this money.
If you're already discharged,
you'd get the money anyway.
* * *
Another bill, drawn up by the
Reserve Officers Association, and
also awaiting action by congress,
would provide retirement pay
for quite a number of our vet­erans.
It provides for retirement pay
at the rate of 2% of base pay for
each year of duty with the Re1-
serves. It would require a mini­mum
of 20 years duty, (two years
active duty included) and enforce
a maximum of 30 years duty.
The Reserve could retire at the
age of 60, and would be paid,
each year, 2% of his base pay
for each year he served (active
and inactive duty time com­bined.)
We think those bills are fine,
and all that, and of course we'd
like to have some of the money
involved — but we'd feel like
backing up to the pay line when
we got it.
Most of the veterans we know
seem to feel that Uncle Sam has
already "done right by 'em."
He's giving us free education, and
paying for our chow and quarters
while we get it. He's giving out
unemployment pay to a lot of
veterans who may or may not
have been able to get jobs. He's
already given us "mustering out
pay." He's giving us pensions if
we're disabled, and helping us to
get jobs, and paying our subsis­tence
while we learn new trades.
And if he starts paying Reserve
retirement pay, for example, we
figure he'll be overdoing it—
that maybe our part in the war
didn't quite measure up to what
Uncle Sam seems to think it did.
Somebody'll have to pay a lot
of taxes to furnish that money
for us, too.
College Presidents
Hold Conference
Dr. and Mrs. L. N. Duncan and
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Draughan at­tended
the conference of the
Presidents of Alabama Colleges
on Apr. 30 and May 1 at the Uni­versity
of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
The first such conference was
held on the Auburn campus early
in September of last year.
Dr. Duncan first organized the
conferences with the idea of get­ting
the presidents of the colleges
together to discuss their problems
and exchange ideas on the prob­lems
of higher education in the
immediate postwar period.
The conferences are limited to
about eighteen college presidents.
This includes almost every type
of higher education from the
junior colleges, privately endow­ed
institutions, and state teachers
colleges to the land-grant col­lege
and the state university.
Guest consultants are invited

The courses offer standard col­lege
credit in junior sociology or
history. Students may also attend
on a non-credit basis, and the
courses are open to non-students
as well.
Approximate cost for the
Guatemala Summer Study Cen­ter
will be $300, including trans­portation,
food housing, and field
trips.

NO SPEAK A DA SLANG? MERE'S A CLUE
TO WHAT COULD MEAN MOST ANYTHING
By Nancy Lea Brown
., "I've had you!"'-
"Yeah? Well you're ripped it
with me, too."
"Here—take this."
"What a jack you turned out to
be."
"Frankly, I think you're about
the most bobo-dottish person
I've ever met, and that's no
stuff."
The above overheard conversa­tion
was between an Auburn co­ed
and her latest man-of-the-hour
while said persons were chasing
butterflies in Ag Hollow a few
nights ago. Since my translator
was busy elsewhere, I was unable
to make anything of the conver­sation,
but I saw a frat pin fly­ing
through the air and I gather­ed
from that that something was
amiss.
. . A Deduction!
After much extensive study I
have finally reached a conclusion
concerning the use of the English
language on the Auburn campus.
The conclusion is, w e 11, it
shouldn't happen to a dog! Take
for example, the expression,
"We've had.it." Had what, for
goodness sake? After all, person
can't just go around promiscous-
!y saying he's had it! (Editor's
Note: They're doing it!!) And
that one, "What a jack." Surely
there ought to be a prefix or a
suffix on the jack. Or perhaps
there should be a capital "J".
That would simplify matters
greatly.
Bobo-Dottish
As for the word "Bobo-dottish"
(and my spelling may not be cor­rect),
I'-ve perused the dictionary
all the way from "boa constric­tor"
to "boy scout", from "doaty"
to "dozy" and the nearest I can
find to either word is "dottle"
which means "crazy or silly".
Well, maybe there is something
in that! -
Another expression which has
me stumped is "everything's
copascetic". Again Mr. Webster
professes no knowledge of any
such word as that. To the inno­cent
bystander the word could
mean any one of a number of
things, such as, "Everything's
fine", or "everything lousy" or
"everythings lousy" or "every-things
coming" or "everything
going." And after all, a person
must advance a few theories if
he is to add to the knowledge of
the-race.
Our Dictionary
• Too many of the Auburn vet­erans
have introduced new phras­es
and words which are clearly
intended to mystify. The more
outstanding campus phrases, to­gether
with their approximate
translations are listed here:
A huge time—a good time.
Keep your foot on the sack—
"I miss you so! You always looked so nice
in those McGregor leather jackets you
bought from OLIN L. HILL MEN'S FURN­ISHINGS."
keep everything under .control.
That's no stuff—I mean it.
What a jack — what a dumb
person.
She's a large charge — she's
dynamite.
Go Blow—leave me alone.
We've had it—we're mad •• at
each other.
Roger—right.
I'll give you a clue—I'll tell you
a secret.
Hit the books—study (no refer­ence
to any Auburn student, liv­ing
or dead, is intended.)
No-doze juice—coffee. ,
Coffin nail—cigarette.
Smoe and Kilroy, belonging to
the Army and Navy, respective­ly,
are also holding their own on
the Auburn campus. They are
two fabulous figures who are
anywhere, everywhere and no­where
at the same time and they
can always be identified by any
veteran.
Maybe we could try pig latin
for a little while and see if it's
understandable. Or p e r h a ps
somebody has a universal langu­age
composed of Latin, Greek and
Arabic that wouldn't be too hard
to learn. But until something
does turn up I guess a few of the
more innocent of us will have to
live on in ignorance.
OUTSTANDING, INFLUENTIAL MEN
TAPPED AT 'WEDDING' CEREMONY
Bill Dearman
As Samford's clock struck the
hour of five Monday afternoon,
Magnolia resounded with the
clatter of hooves and the shouts
of Spade Neophytes. Dressed in
the latest fashions (?) and coated
with a thick coating of blacking,
the Neophytes rolled up to the
traffic light on College Street in
the latest model wagon.
The wedding party was com­plete
with shotgun, craps and
even the jug was filled with er-staz
liquor, but the groom was in
an uncooperative frame of mind.
As soon as the driver had suc­ceeded
in stopping the wagon in
the middle of College street, the
groom decided that it was much
more healthy further down the
street. Papa, of course, had other
ideas and lugging his trusty (?)
shotgun, he gave chase.
The erstaz preacher, complete
with swallow-tail "coat, feeling
that he was much too energetic
to waste his time, started a rous­ing
crap, game, and needless to
say, the bride was one of the
more active participants.
After Papa had succeeded in
catching the elusive groom, a sol­dier,
the wedding proceeded as
usual. As the fatal words "I now
pronounce you man and wife,"

The Auburn Hall Situation
• A student who as a freshman is a so­cial
and academic success will be a strong
upperclassman, Miss Wauthena Temple
believes. Residents of Auburn Hall, fresh­man
women's dormitory, believe this too
but sometimes in the past have found
themselves in unhappy situations. It seems
that they don't like any semblance of a
police force for a governing body.
Now Auburn Hall girls are one of the
happiest groups on the campus, though
they live in what has been considered
of the least attractive buildings. Its size,
the thing that makes it appear hard ta
decorate, was the first thing Miss Temple
put to use in bringing to life a spirit of
cooperation necessary for pleasant group
living when she became housemother the
last of the winter quarter. The formal
dance was the first of its kind in a women's
dormitory.
The method of approach used by Miss
Temple and her assistant, Miss 'Jeanette
Hall, could be used profitably by other
houses. Students are allowed to participate
to a large extent in legislation. They are
encouraged, to play, but when quiet hours-come,
WSGA house counselors (Miss Tem-pie
dislikes the word monitor) have the
responsibility of enforcing them.
Room** inspection is held, but nobody
receives minors. Girls living on "the neat­est
floor of the week" are permitted to go
to the midnight show that week. Attrac­tive
posters and cartoons, done by Miss
Hall, who has a degree in art, have the pur­pose
of commending, reprimanding, and
amusing.
In addition to legislative duties, WSGA
counselors arrange subcommittees Who
are in charge of parties and dinners at the
dining hall and are working on a table
etiquette Jbooklet for incoming girls. A
decorations committee works on social
functions.and sees that flowers are placed
in the living room every week. Another
committee keeps a religious bulletin board,
showing the functions of all faiths and
see that the same grace is not said every
day at mealtime.
Miss Temple moves quietly and has the
respect of the girls. She doesn't break
promises, and her promises -are always
made in an effort to make students happy.
This can be done, she believes, without
policeing. She hopes that girls will take the
responsibilities falling to them as the "hV '
telligentsia". when they leave Auburri.
Girls at Auburn Hall are fortunate in
having a housemother who strives for an
attainable ideal with a workable program.
"There's More Ways Than One" or "Tennis Ain't My Racket"
FOOTPRINTS
By Byrd Lee
Why Not Forty Elevators
Once upon a time.
There was a little college freshman. He
had a class on the third floor of the main
building, ,which was known as Samford.
He was very industrious and studied his
lesson every day.
He liked to be punctual. Before he went
into the building, he would look up, up,
up at the clock in the tower to see what
time it was. And he always was early.
But when he got inside, there was a
crowd surging behind him and a crowd
surging in front of him. When he put his
foot on the first" step of the stairs, his
shoe was buried under the. feet of students
coming down. Presently he made a bold
leap forward and landed in the middle of
an upward stream of students.
He tried to go to the right, as he thought
-he should. But the crowd blocked his path.
His attempts to go on the left of in the
middle met the same fate.
Finally, worn-out completely, our fresh­man
reached the third floor—except-for
two steps. The crowd thinned and he saw
the way to his class. Then a large upper­classman
appeared on the steps. The rat
went to one side, so did the upperclass­man.
He had not the strength left to step
aside. He plunged down the steps and all
went black.
The rat, -now vin the infirmary with a
broken leg, said:.
"If folks walking up to class would use
the set of steps or the side of the stairs - to '
their right and folks walking down from
class would use the set 6f steps or the side
of the stairs to their right (but to the up­coming
students' left), I wouldn't be here
now."
Apologies And Orchids
Frankly we were more than a little
disappointed at the May Day program. Not
at the program, however—we were disap­pointed
at the conduct of the students who
"attended. We (and the writer of this is
masculine) can appreciate the sight of a
well-turned limb as much as anyone. But
we do not believe it is necessary to greet
the appearance of a bevy of females with
wolf-calls and whistles. Though it appears
funny to some it certainly leaves a very
poor impression on visitors.
Maybe the regulations are wrong —
maybe the college should impose strict
restrictions on the behavior of male stu­dents
and give the girls complete freedom.
It certainly appears that the average Au­burn
girl is much more a lady than the
average Auburn man is a gentleman. .
Then, too, we were disgusted with the
little boy who kept running around and
interfering with the dancers. We don't
blame the child because children don't al­ways
realize the appearance of such things
and are certainly not responsible for their
actions. We would like to find the mother
of that child and turn her across our
knees for the good old-fashioned spanking
that she deserves. We'll bet after that she
would take precautions against the recur-rance
of such an event.
To Miss Bibza and the dancers we ex­tend
congratulations for an excellent pro­gram.
To the visitors we- offer our apolo­gies
for the conduct of some of our wise­acres.
Believe us, it isn't typical of the
student body as a whole. —

Must We Migrate To The North?
In an article entitled "Auburn Women

of The Plainsman, nine co-eds had an op­portunity
to express their ambitions. Of
this nine, five hope to work in New York,
leaving only three to build a career in the
south.
If this is typical of our present day col­lege
students it does not show ambition as
the article states, but in reality shows lazi­ness
or indifference..It is true there are
not as many opportunities in the south as
in the north, but that is because no one has

they forgot their old blue elephant who had wandered off

The next morning, Aunt Bessie looked out of her kitchen
window to see the ancient elephant calmly making his break­fast
of her choice cabbages. Aunt Bessie ran down the hill
to where Uncle Clem was distilling sun-stroke, (200-proof
moonshine.). / <
' "Clem, come quick," she cried. "There's a big blue critter
in the garden pulling up all of my cabbages with his TAIL!"

IF WE ARE* sincere in our concern with the high costs of
living in Auburn, we must adopt a realistic program. It is
impossible for us to throw a complete boycott, for we need
and must have the services and goods which many of the
local tradesmen offer. Food, laundry and haircuts are necessi­ties"
with which we cannot dispense. .
However, -if we choose the one iherchant or concern whom
we consider the outstanding offender, we can put a torture
hold on him until he yells "Uncle." Remember, missionaries
don't try to convert a whole tribe of heathens with one blow;
they put the bite .on one man and count on his amazing trans­formation
to put the fear of God into a lot of the onlookers.
GENTLEMEN: the floor is now open to nominations for

THE SCHOOL should take the initiative in action such
as this, but they have not done so. In fact, the school itself
is high on the list of offenders. Instead of fighting -to break
the seige of high prices in Auburn, the school has played
right into the hands of the sky's-the-limit boys, and in many
instances'has set the pace for student exploitation.
Regardless of the many FUBAR statistics the administra­tion
shoots at us, the fact still remains that we are paying the
same amount for the winter and spring ten-week quarters
as we paid for the twelve-week quarter last fall.

Poll of Opinion
By Alpha Phi Omega
Question of the week: Would
you be willing to go to classes
three days longer each quarter
if it would mean the discontinua­tion
of Saturday quizzes?
• Students have been asking us
to take a poll • on this question
for quite some time; however, we
delayed in hopes that we could
have an official statement upon
which to base the poll. While not
official, this alternative has been
suggested several times by un­official
sources. ,
As the poll shows, a vast ma­jority
would prefer a longer quar­ter
if it were to mean that there
would be no more Saturday
quizzes. The reason most often
given was that, if there were to
be no quizzes on the week-ends,
the students would then be able
to go home "or would at least have
a weekend free from worries
over tests and school work.
" Those students opposed to the
change claim that as it is now,
quizzes are supposed to be given
only on a certain date, and that
they know when to expect one.
If Saturday quizzes were abolish­ed,
they feel the professors could,
and would, then give tests at their
own discretion, with or without
prior notice. On the other side of
the question though, we have
claims that many of the. profes­sors
do not follow the prescribed
schedule anyway and give tests
whenever they care to do so.
From over'600 students ques­tioned,
the following results were
obtained:
Prefer Saturday quizzes 16.5%
Prefer change as stated
in question 80.0%
No opinion: 3.5%
The question for next week is
one that we have heard voiced
several times. As you know, sev­eral
stringent regulations have
been imposed upon the occupants
of various girls' dorms. The ques­tion
"most frequently asked is
whether these regulations have
been imposed because they were
needed or as a non-too-subtle
means of encouraging the coeds
to leave API. For next week,
then, our question shall be:
Do you think the late rigid re­strictions
pertaining to the girls'
dormitories are due to a lack of
maid service or merely an at­tempt
on the pari of the admin­istration
to force the coeds to

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
As a guest of the American
Legion I attended last week the
harbeque given in honor of the
ROTC inspecting officers. Sitting
next to and behind me were a
colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, a
major and a captain, three of
whom were members of the in­specting
team while the fourth
was attached to the ROTC unit
here.
During the night there were
several speeches by some of the
prominent visitors and during
these speeches the four officers
mentioned kept up a running
stream of conversation. And the
colonel and lieutenant-colonel
were the worst offenders!
Now it seems to me that when
officers—and particularly offi­cers
of such high rank—attend a
party given in their honor they
could at least have courtesy
enough to simulate attention to
the speakers whether they actual­ly
listen or not. And it seems to
me that the officer who is at­tached
here should have set the
example for behavior.
I have refrained from men­tioning
the offenders names be­cause
I have no desire to em­barrass
them publicly— the offi-:
cers in question will know who
I mean if they read this. And my
statements can'.. be vouched for
by two of the out of town guests
and by one college official who
attended.

Dear Editor,
Last quarter we wrote a letter
to The Plainsman concerning
Spades, senior men's organiza­tion.
We asked several questions
that have be^n in the minds of
Auburn students for many years
concerning Nthe organization. No
attempt has been made by Spades
to answer those questions. The'
reason- couldn't be because those
questions would be most diffi­cult
to answer without "losing
face," could it? At any rate, we'll
try again.
For, the benefit of those who
were not here during the organi­zation's
. more "active" years be­fore
the war, Spades is a local
men's organization which taps
the "leading" men in the gradu­ating
class. And, in the words of
SPADES, these men have ob­tained
"the highest honor an Au­burn
man may receive." We ask
again—
Question one: "How can any
local organization such as Spades,
without any national affiliation
or recognition, set itself up on
the campus and immediately
claim for "its members the dis­tinction
of having the highest
honor an- Auburn man may
achieve?" We don't think that is
an unfair question. However, if
Spades continues to ignore it,
perhaps the director of student
affairs could shed some light on
the matter. How about it, Mr.
Brown?
Question two, and by far the
most important: "On what basis
are the members of Spades chos- -
en?" It is easy enough to select
a group of men, pin a Spade on
them and say "These are the top
men in the senior class." But
what have these men done to de­serve
such an honor, or what will
the men in the succeeding classes
have to do to qualify them for
the highest reward an Auburn
man can obtain. If the members
of Spades make up the leading
men in the senior class why
wasn't the President of-the Senior
Class selected? Why wasn't the.
President of the Executive Cabi­net,
a man who has a superior
scholastic record and' who has
been a campus leader since he
entered Auburn—why wasn't he
made one of the top men in the
senior class by Spades?
Again we say we are not try­ing
to deprive the members of
Spades of any glory. But if mem­bership
in Spades carries with it
the distinction of having received'
• the highest honor obtainable by
an Auburn man, we think it is
high time the students know
what one must do to attain that
goal.
Question three: "What is the
function of Spades?" What is the
value of any organization if it
does nothing beneficial? Can any
member of the faculty or student
body tell us of anything worth­while
Spades has done in the
years the organization has been
on the campus? No, we don't
think you can. In fact the only
time Spades is heard from all
year is in the' spring when its
new members are announced.
We have asked the members of
Spades several questions. We ask
the student body: "Do we need a
functionless organization such as"
Spades on the Auburn campus?"
Thank you,
(Name Withheld).

So much has been said and
written about the Auburn'spirit
and Auburn traditions by so
many people with such little ap­parent
effect in the eight short
months that I have been here
that I begin to wonder what'is
this Auburn spirit, have I seen a
true picture of it or what lias
happened to it? And in so doing
I doubtless place myself in the
category of such aforesaid speak­ers
and writers, but as one who
has 'chosen Auburn as my alma
mater I feel qualified to raise my
voice with the. others. Previous
statements have been ,made to
the effect that the student body
wasn't large enough, that new
students had had no one from
whom to capture the-spirit, that
returning former students would
bring with them the indefinable
spirit. Have they? If so, where is
it? Or is the Auburn spirit just
a romantic myth?
Regardless of this, myth or lost
tradition, whichever it may be,
the present student body can
create or recreate an Auburn
spirit if it so desires. Not by de­structive
criticism or by cutting
remarks for constructive criticis-ers
can this be done, but rather
by cooperation with and -whole­hearted
support of the school and
student body in all worthy en­deavors.
No matter what the old
Auburn spirit was, the new Au­burn
spirit should not be Auburn,
my school, right or wrong, my
school —. but instead Auburn,
right, keep her right; wrong,
make her right.
An integral part of the Auburn
spirit was apparently the extreme
friendliness which prevailed. At
the present time freshman class
leaders are conducting a cam­paign
to resume speaking on the
campus. It appears that the
freshman class and not the up­per
classes, which should contain
the true authorities on the sub­ject;
is doing most for the revival
of this spirit.
Now that we have been shown
the way, upper classmen, shall
we not fall in line and give the
freshman the benefit of our pre­vious
experience?

History Instructor Gets Vandy Award
To Continue Study for Doctor's Degree
By Billy Stephenson
Back in his high school days O. P. South, Jr., decided
that he wanted to have a job someday that wouldn't require
10 or 11 hours a day of tiring, dull work. He decided that
banking or teaching was his best bet, but he didn't have
enough money to start a bank; so he decided to be a college
professor.
Now Mr. South, who is an instructor in the history de­partment,
is well on his way in his chosen profession. A
teaching fellowship has been • ""
awarded to him by Vanderbilt
University, where he will begin
work on his PhD in history in
September, and the National So­cial
Science Research Council
will grant him funds to work on
his PhD thesis beginning in June.
But the present fellowship is
not Mr. South's first. In 1941 he
was a w a r d e d the same type
teaching fellowship at Vanderbilt,
but he left in 1942 for army ser­vice.
He received the fellowship
while studying at Vanderbilt on
a scholarship which had been
awarded him in 1940.
After three years of military
service, partly spent in France,
Mr. South returned to Auburn as
an instructor in the history de­partment
with his father, who has
taught here since 1941. He will
leave to enter Vanderbilt again
in June, and will be granted
funds by the Social Science
Council until the following June,
a job which requires part-time
teaching and grading of papers
along with his studies. The fel­lowship
includes a grant of about
900 dollars.
Mr. South received his bache­lor's
degree at Auburn in 1939,
and his master's in 1940. While on
the campus he was a member of
the college band, A Club and In-
Hannum Reviews
Engineering History.
Dean J. E. Hannum, address­ing
the Auburn Woman's Club
May 9, perhaps established an
unofficial record in relating one
million years of engineering his­tory
in twenty-five minutes.
Taking the topic, "Milestones
in Engineering Progress," Dean
Hannum said, "The early founda­tions
of the arts of engineering
were laid by primitive man in
prehistoric times by his discov­ery
of such essential elements of
the modern science of engineering
as the lever, the rope, the wheel,
the wedge, fire, and metal.
"The movable wheel on a
fixed axle may be considered as
the greatest single engineering
achievement of all times. The
fundamental principle of the
wheel was accidently discovered
by primitive man when he hap­pened
to drag a load on his crude
sled over a log.
"Civil Engineers in ancient
times constructed canals to form
inland waterway systems for
ships and for irrigation purposes.
"Down through the ages, the
ingenuity of the engineer has
made its impress upon the de­velopment
of ancient civiliza­tions
to an extent far greater
than is generally conceded."
Dean Hannum said that un­fortunately
the names of many
great engineers had too often
gone unrecorded on the,pages .of
history, leaving the glory to sol­diers
and politicians.
"As late as the eighteenth
century," Dean Hannum contin­ued,
"a few kinds of machines
were in use. They were made of
wood, stone, and handshaped
metal and were crudely designed
and cumbersome.
"The word 'engineer' was first
used as a professional title, as dis­tinct
from the designation of an
engine operator, about 1771, by
John Smeaton, a designer of
bridges, when he referred to him­self
as a 'Civil Engineer'.
"Professional careers are be­coming
more and more attrac­tive
for" women. In our Ameri­can
engineering schools, there are
now enrolled 2,500 women. We
have 21 young women at Auburn
preparing themselves for engi­neering
careers."
"As new frontiers of science
are explored, and the findings of
scientists are made available, en­gineering
will continue to expand
into new fields of endeavor."

By the Associated Collegiate
Press
Dean Pickle of Columbia Uni­versity,
New York City, has real­ly
started the bone of contention
swinging back and forth. She
has made the suggestion that
women now make a worth-while
sacrifice by not attending college
for two years, thus giving vet­erans
a chance at higher educa­tion.
Arguments, pro and con, selfish,
and unselfish, have been raging
in ivy-covered halls of learning
over this suggestion until it
threatens to disrupt beautiful
friendships and. become an obsta­cles
to the common college ro­mances.
Accusations have been
made that women go to college
only in search of a male; women
fall back on their constitutional
rights of searching for an educa­tion.
Many opinions have been stat­ed.
Some say that a woman's
place is in the-home, but they
don't say what home. Others say
it isn't, but don't know just
where a woman's place is. Some
veterans think that women need
an education to better support
their husbands in the style the
Army or Navy never did.
Suggested 'Propaganda'
The publicity campaign that
could be worked out to fit this
occasion is breath-taking. We
could have mottos like: "Girls!
Make the supreme sacrifice and
leave college," or "The Vets
fought the, war, now let them
sleep in class," or "They gave 4
years for you, can't you give 2
years to them?" Then we can in­stitute
a "Leave College Week"
for women.
' Advertisements can appear in
leading magazines showing a co­ed
shaking hands with the vet­eran
who is taking her place, and
quite often it is the same guy
whose place she took in industry
a few years ago.
Corner on 'Man Market'
Women veterans are in an en­viable
position. They are both
veterans and women. They would
have a decided corner on the
"man market," uninterrupted and
with no competition. At least
there wouldn't be much trouble
picking a queen for the corona­tion
dance.
On the other hand, care must
be exercise that repercussions are
not too far-reaching. Perhaps
high school girls will cooperate
too well and, in the hope some
veterans may like to go back to
high school, terminate their edu­cation
too quickly.
At any rate, the battle of the
sexes continues with yet another
point of disagreement.

Auburn Upsets Georgia Tech In A, A, U. Meet
Yellowjackets Prove To Be All Wet As
Hutsell's Hurdlers Win In Rainstorm
Carley, Christian, Curlee, Maclntire,
Foss, Win First Place Events For Auburn
- By Jimmy Coleman
Maybe, it was the water-injection that gave Auburn its
power to whip the Georgia Tech track and field team, t>ut
more likely it was.sound coaching and a determined spirit
t h a t sent the Tigers on to a 60 to 49 % victory over the Yellow
Jackets, leading contenders to t a k e t h e 25th annual S.EAA.U.
meet in t h e Stadium Saturday.
•Auburn, who as a perfect host
last year failed to score a point,
took an early lead and was never
seriously -threatened.
Fred Carley walked away with
the handsome Thomas Bragg
memorial trophy for winning in
the mile and 880 runs, while Carl
Christain, Bill Curlee, Sam Mac­lntire,
and Ed Foss were first
place winners in their respective
events. '
Although a driving rain forced
many of the spectators away from
the stadium, a large crowd
braved the weather to see the
events finished.
Major Bob Salisbury, pilot
from McDill-Field, Tampa, heav­ed
the javelin 195 feet to win the
event. While at Georgia in 1940,
he set the present conference re­cord
of 213 feet.

Golf Team Ties Emory
In Opening Match, 9-9
The Auburn golf team, com­posed
of Gene Moore, Walter
Wood, Lloyd Kranert, and John
Wood, made a creditable show­ing
ir.' its initial intercollegiate
m?.ch at Columbus by tieing the
Limory University team 9-9 last
week.
Prof. George Hargreaves, coach,
seemed well-pleased with his
team's showing since the boys
were handicapped by inadequate
practice before meeting. Emory.
Arrangements are underway to
schedule matches with the Beav-our
Company Club team of Mont­gomery,
Georgia, Georgia Tech,
and possibly a return match with
Emory.
Trackmen Face Tough
S.E.C. Competition
The Tiger track and field team,
encouraged by its recent A.A.U.
victory, is off this week-end for
Birmingham to participate in the
annual Southeastern Conference
meet in Legion Field Saturday.
The preliminaries will be run off
on Friday and every college in
the S.E.C. will be represented
with the exception of Tennessee.
Louisiana State is. highly fa­vored
to take team honors. The
Bayou Bengals have sterling per­formers
in practically every de­partment
including Bill Dickey,
the renown sprinter from Atlanta,
and Chuck Lowther, a winner in
the Drake Relays and Texas meet
in the javelin throw.
Tulane, who had defeated fa­vored
L.S.U. in a triangular meet
this season, will furnish tough
competition to Auburn's unde­feated
Fred C a r l e y for the
Greenies have a miler and half-miler
who have recorded the low­est
timing in the conference to
date.

Guest columnist for thisweek"
is William Richardson who is
pinch-hitting for Mr. Lumpkin
who.was out of town on busi­ness
oyer the week-end report­edly
attempting to neogiate a
strike settlement in a Kentucky
distillery.
The last we saw of T. Lumkin
he was leaving town rather hur­riedly.
As to the reason why, you
can draw your own conclusions,
I have mine. Anyway, if you will
bear with me we will see what
the past week has to offer to the
sports world.
Softball was somewhat hamp­ered
by rain, however, in League
I KS gained victories over AP
and PKP with AP coming back
later to take DSP. LCA fell un­der
attack of KA in League II to
the score of 7-II. Leagues III and
IV and IV were highlighted by
"playoff" games that had prev­iously
ended in deadlocks. TC
scored in the last half of the
eighth inning -take their game
from a hard fighting ATO team,
the final, score being 5-4. In the
other "'.feciding" game the SC
had a ^feld day beating AGR 7-2.
As tlie cries of "Come on babe,
come on boy", are sounded next
week we should see some very
fast and tight games.
* * *
Well, old man weather was
rather harsh on us at the SEAAU
meet Saturday, but those who
braved the storm were well re­warded
in seeing A u b u rn
thoroughly' trounced f a v o r ed
Georgia Tech to the tune of 60
to 49% points. The most outstand­ing
achievement of the day was
by Fred Carley. After Fred had
won both the mile and half mile
for Auburn, he ran a beautiful
440 in the last event, the mile
relay. Lets all hope the boys do
as well in the SEC meet in the
Magic City next week.
Trippi Eyes Pro Baseball
It is reported that Charley
Trippi, swivel-hipped halfback
who dealt Auburn misery in Col­umbus
last season, will not sign
as a professional gridder as many
have thought. It seems as if the
versatile Charley is eyeing a
major league baseball contract
and a $25,000 bonus since several
clubs have scouted him, includ­ing
the Boston Beaves and the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Hitting above .500, stealing
three or four bases per game,
Trippi has connected for four
homers and is considered the bes1:
college base runner his coach has
ever seen.
Regardless of offers, it is said
that Trippi intends to finish his
college education;
* * *
Bill Higdon, former Lanier
High of Montgomery star who
was expected to go places for Au­burn
as a halfback before he was
lured away with a professional
baseball contract, is alleged to
be the fastest man on the Phila­delphia
Phillies' squad.
Bob Carpenter, known as that
club's swiftest runner,, offered to
take on anybody on the club. He
outran manager Ben Chapman
and later took on Higdon. Bill
caught Carpenter at 20 yards and
walked away from him. Carpen­ter,
in apology, said, "I talk too
much".
, Although Higdon is fast, he
will prabably need minor"" league
seasoning before breaking into
the majors.

Tigers To 13-0 Win
A beautiful three-hit pitching
performance by southpaw Jim
Jordan and a powerful bat man­ned
by first-sacker Johnny Lip­tak
netted the Auburn Tigers
their fifth consecutive win Sat­urday
afternoon as they trottled a
Phenix City Independent nine
13-0.
Lipiak Poles Long Homer
Liptak continued his reign as
home run king for the Plainsmen
by slashing out his fourth and
longest-circuit blow of the season
in the third stanza with two
mates aboard. Before the end of
the day Liptak and third base­man
Lyman Woodfin whacked
out a fat three for four average
at the plate.'
Three Phenix City hurlers, Red
Langford, Ed Carmack, and Bill
Corley, were hammered for a
grand total of fifteen safeties by
the Bengals.
The Tigers will entertain the
Phenix City sluggers in a return
match on Drake Field this after­noon
at 3 p. m.

MY REPUTATION
I Kate Burton Says:
Greetings! I hope all of
you had a nice Mother's
Day. We were lucky enough
to get to go home and spend
that day with our Mothers.
I wasn't expecting a thing
because I thought my hus­band
and the children had
forgotten. Boy, did I get
fooled! Bright and early
Sunday morning they pre­sented
me with a starter set
of Lu-Ray. Now I won't
keep you guessing. They
bought it at BURTON'S.
They told me too that BUR-TdN'S
is getting in indi­vidual
pieces this week so I
can supplement my set.
I went in BURTON'S as
soon as we got home to see
the latest loot. I am not go­ing
to get caught at gradua­tion
time without a gift on
hand. They have in a large
shipment of Herb Farm
Cosmetics and are they love­ly!
One set took my fancy, it
contains six small bottles of
flower-fresh scents in toilet
water. They smell so clean
and good after so many
heavy perfumes.
We eat outside so much in
the summer and I hate
dragging table- cloths out
for mustard and water mel- .
on to seep in to so I bought
myself a present. BUR­TON'S
has the most beauti­ful
place mats I've ever
seen. They are reproduc­tions
of oil paintings and the
'colors are gorgeous. I bought
an extra set and had them
framed and they're hanging
right this minute on the
walls in the dining room.
If you have an extra spe­cial,
man in your life and'
want to find something to
really please him, go over
to BURTON'S and-look at
the English made men's bill­folds.
They're really some­thing
special. Even if the
man in your life has a bill­fold
now it may be on the
tired side so look the situa-ation
over.
Pretty stationary is an ob­session
with me and BUR­TON'S
r e a l l y has been
pampering me lately. They
have some of the nicest I've
seen in ages. They have lots
of pound paper in pink,
blue, white, and orchid. It's
the kind that is just perfect
for momogramming. I don't
think I've seen any Eaton's
stationary in three months
but BURTON'S has in a
n i c e shipment including
some of the very nice Crys­tal
Sheer in ice cream col­ors.
The Rome Creations
have come in at BURTON'S,
Those graduates that are
going to be blooming in
June will certainly need
some note paper for thank-you
notes.
"My Three Years With
Eisenhower" came in at
BURTON'S. It's one book
that I want to have in my
library. They're so nice in
BURTON'S about ordering
