Revised Constitution To Be Considered
By Cabinet At Tomorrow's^ Meeting
Auburn Independent Organization
Will Seek Recognition From Body
A revised constitution will be presented to the Executive
Cabinet for ratification at the meeting at 5 p. m. Thursday in
room 207, Samford Hall.
Approval for the Auburn Independent Association will be
considered at the same time.
Norman McLeod, president of the Cabinet, served as
chairman of the coiistitution committee.
Cabinet officers and committee
chairmen were members.
All students are welcome to the
meeting.
"We urge every true Auburn
student to read the proposed
changes and bring his suggestions
to our Cabinet meeting,''
Norman McLeod said.
The significant changes are outlined
below.
Dot Cabiness Receives
Tau Beta Pi Award
Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi
presented its first women's badge
to Dot Cabiness of South Pittsr
burg7 'l'enn. MiSS1 Cabiness is a
graduate of API in electrical engineering,
and is the 37th woman
in the. United States to receive
the Tau Beta Pi women's badge.
The presentation was made by
Qharles Towery at a banquet Jan.
47 Professor R. M. Steere a nd
Dean J. E. Hannum were guest

banquet were Mr. and Mr,s. J. C.
Cabiness.
Inferfaith Meet
To Discuss Courting
"From Friendship to Courtship"
will be discussed at the
Inter-Faith meeting at 7:45 tomorrow
night at the home of
Dryden Baughman and his sister
at 408 E. Magnolia. All students
and faculty members . are
invited.
Tommy RnyelT and ArtW
Haasgy, win lead the discussion
and Mrs/Bertha Hull will be one
of the resource leaders. Refreshments
will be served by a committee
head by Mgrtha Lflfi
Informal discussions at the
homes of faculty members have
become a regular part of the
Inter - Faith Council's program
since they were begun several
quarters ago. One aim was to foster
better relations between faculty
and students; another, to provide
an opportunity for interchange
of ideas with faculty cooperation.
Students wishing to attend the
discussion this week will meet at
Langdon Hall at 7:30, and will be
directed to the home of Mr.
Braughman.
MEMBERSHIP — Under the
proposed constitution there would
be thirteen regular members of
the executive Cabinet (that is,
those elected from the campus at
large), five special members (tne
president of each class and the
president of the Woman's Student
Government) and an indefinite
number of ex-officio members,
(representing various groups
on the campus as the Veterans'
Organization, etc.)
VACANCIES — Any vacancies
occurring in a class's representatives
on the Cabinet (namely
president a n d representatives)
shall be filled by other officers
elected at the same time in order
of succession provided for in the
Constitution.
ACTIVITIES—A report of the
Cabinet's activities during the
preceding year shall be written-ed
and signed by the president of
the Cabinet, and after a two-thirds
approval of the cabinet be
submitted to the permanent records
of the Cabinet and published
in the Plainsman. (Taken
verbatum from the new Constitution.)
-
COMMITTEES — Four new
committees, three of which are
already functioning, will be represented
in the New Constitution:
Rat Cap, Social, Drives, and Pep.
Elections Committee — The
essential changes in the elections"
Committee are in the manner of
conducting the election. The proposal
states, "All candidates may
make a statement not to exceed
fifty words, for publication in the
official newspaper of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. Such
statement may give his or her
policy, and any improvements he
or she would like to make within
the office for which he or she is
running. Such statement is to be
furnished gratis to all candidates
by the official college newspaper.
Also, the chairman of the elections
committee shall designate
two nights in the week preceding
elections for mass meetings. On
the first night all candidates for
freshman and sophomore offices
and on the second night all juniors,
and seniors and fifth year
representatives may address the
members of their classes as to
their intended policies and procedures.
To be eligible to hold office the
candidate must have at least a

Victory Clothing Drive
Ends In Auburn Today
One hundred million garments
for the nation is the goal of the
Victory Clothing Drive; today
marks Auburnites last chance to
contribute to the needy of Europe.
Auburn's collection goal is
5,000 garments. Almost everything
in the line of clothing is
needed. Coats, shoes, underwear,
blankets, suits, trousers, sweaters,
and dresses are especially desirable.
Building and Grounds is the
collection center for students.
Each girls' dormitory has a box
to receive contributions.
Prospective Meads O f Plainsman,
Glomerata To Qualify Jan. 24
Candidates Need Year's Experience,
Junior Standing, 2.0 Average, Petition
Prospective editors and business managers of The Plainsman
and Glomerata will meet the Publications Board at 4
p. m., Thursday, Jan. 24 in the President's offices.
The Plainsman heads will assume offices in the spring
quarter; the Glomerata officials will take over this summer.
Acceptable candidates will run
in the general campus elections
the second week in February.
Qualifications for' all four offices
include a 2.0 overall scholastic
average, and a year's experience
in a responsible position on
the publication, or the equivalent.
Completed 136 Hours ,
Plainsman editor and business
manager candidates must have
completed at least 136 quarter
hours or rank as second quarter
juniors.
Because the Glomerata staff
heads will not assume their offices
until the summer quarter,
the hour qualification has been
waived in that poll. The students
qualifying for these offices must
rank as either second or third
quarter juniors in the summer
quarter.
Paper
A thousand word paper on the
aims, proposed improvements,
etc., of the candidate must be presented
to the Board at the time of
qualification. In addition a petition
for qualification must be submitted
by each candidate. Petitions
must be turned into Mrs.
Sarah Tidmore not later than 4
p. m. Jan. 23. Blank petitions may
be obtained from Mrs. Tidmore at
the President's office.
Each year contests for editor
and business manager of the
Plainsman and Glomerata evoke
considerable interest on the campus.
When more than one candidate
qualifies to seek one of the
posts in a general campus election,
heated races usually result.
Until the Publications Board
meets and acts on petitions, it
will not be known which races
will have more than one entry.
Indications are, however, that at
least two and possibly three of
the publications posts will be
hotly contested.

Board Waives Decision On
'Rag1 Pending IFC Petition
The Publications Board failed to act on a petition presented
by the campus' newest publication sponsored by the
Interfraternity Council, The Tiger Rag, last Thursday afternoon
because the board claimed tha£ the petition was not
filed properly.
From all indications the Rag, i
which inaugurated publication on
Dec. 14 under the editorship of
Jack Thornton, will be approved
by the board when it meets Jan.
24.
The Jnterfraternity Council
agreed at a regular meeting, Jan.
7, to sponsor the publication on
a "conditional basis." If The
Tiger Rag survives financially
for several publication dates, the
council will become the paper's
permanent sponsor.
Petition Filed
A petition was filed with the
Publications Board before its
meeting last Thursday, in order
to comply with rules which require
all campus publications to
be approved by the board.
Ralph Draughon, chairman of
the board, stated that until a resolution
had been drawn up and
acted upon officially at a meeting
of the Interfraternity Council,
the board did not see fit to make
any decision as to whether The
Tiger Rag can continue to be
printed.
The Tiger Rag states oh its
bannerline, "For the Interest of
Fraternity Men of Auburn." Only
two isues have been published,
but the third issue is scheduled
to be printed some »time this
week.
Editor Wants Okeh
Jack Thornton, editor, says, "I
hope this matter of publishing
the paper will be cleared up at
the next meeting of the Publications
Board, and I hope we will
get an okeh to continue printing
what I feel to be something for
every fraternity man. We did not
have any purpose of competing
with any other campus publication,
and we are planning to
eventually develop the Rag into
a magazine."
The staff is composed of Jack
Thornton, editor; Billy Stephenson,
managing editor; Norman
McLeod, society editor; J oe
Hooten, feature editor; Barry
Graves, business manager; and
Byrd Lee, advertising manager..
Page Two THE P L A I N S M AN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1946
This Rushing Situation
Rush week again brought heartaches,
and even with a new sorority on the campus,
many girls were disappointed. Pan-
Hellenic stipulates that 200 girls may be
pledged during the two periods of rush.
About 350 girls signed up for rush. That,
obviously, leaves little room for democracy.
Should more sororities be added so that
fewer girls would be rejected? Or should
all sororities be abolished, so that no one
would be rejected? Or is there hope that by
keeping only the present number regardless
of increased enrollment, the number
of non-sorority will outnumber the sorority
girls to such an extent that it won't
matter?
,The value of Greek letter organizations
has been debated, it is said, since Woodrow
Wilson first criticized them when he was
head of Princeton University.
Sororities have been in the news since
last February when Mrs. Glenn Frank,
widow of the late president of the University
of Wisconsin, published her view that
sororities' good is outweighed by the evil
and that their exclusiveness has in some
cases caused permanent injury. (She was
later expelled from Pi Beta Phi, top- ranking
sorority). Life magazine treats the subject
in its photographic essay Dec. 17 and
concludes:
"Even most sorority members readily
agree that the rush week system is an evil,
but few changes have been made in it.
Until that time comes, every year in U. S.
colleges there will be girls suffering the
greatest tragedy of their young lives because,
though they can still join some other
kind of club and live just as well, they
nevertheless have been formally notified
that they are 'not wanted.' "
The Life article further explained that
defendants of sororities say they encourage
good scholastic standing and that without
sororities college students would gather
in even more exclusive and secret groups.
Mrs. Frank believes that if fraternities
and sororities were "eliminated, other clubs
and cliques would be formed, but that they
would be formed in a more natural way
than by a rush period, and that the students
would be much more likely to find a
suitable group of friends if unrestrained.
She advocates stringest laws abolishing
fraternities and sororities in both colleges
and high schools. Her argument is that
anything good which the societies accomplish
in the way of providing housing and
so forth, is far outweighed by the class-consciousness
which they foment in the
schools.
In the past, a girl's social status on the
Auburn campus has not been greatly influenced
by sororities. But the cry for
segregation—sororities were granted their
request that all independent g iris be
moved off floors occupied by them, although
the one request for permission to
maintain a house has not been granted—
is an indication of growing class-consciousness.
Is that democratic?
Affiliated and non-affiliated students of
API might be able to consider the welfare
of the majority by looking at the matter
objectively. Some sort of decision should
be reached and an appeal should be made
to the administration—either for the abolition
of Greek letter organizations or for"
the addition of more so that everyone desiring
to affiliate may do so.
An Important Trifle
Does Auburn only do things that it has
done in the past?
We don't know.
API has shown progressive tendencies
in the recent problem of student housing.
But because the college has never published
a student directory in the winter
quarter, it is not going to publish a directory
this winter. This reasoning on the part
of the administration is hard for us to understand,
in the light of all we hear about
Auburn being so progressive.
We realize that directories cost money,
take time to compile, and become obsolete
rapidly.
But we feel that we really need a new

directory. Over 1,000 new students have
entered Auburn this quarter. The only
way one student may find out where another
lives is to call the Registrar's office
or the office of the student's dean, both
of which are inconvenient for the student
and time-consuming for the college officials.
Since there has been a mass evacuation
of coeds from the fraternity houses to
make room for the men, since many students
are staying in private homes, since
veterans are commuting from the Valley,
a directory is necessary.
We assume that the office of cataloging
and publications is the logical department
to compile the information. We feel that
they would be doing the students and professor
a service, while small, that would
be greatly appreciated if they would bring
last quarter's directory up-to-date.
Let's Make Voting Secret
Whether or not you are aware of it, the
Constitution of Associated Undergraduate
Students of API regulates your extra-curricular
activities because it regulates all
student organizations.
^The Cabinet feels that the present constitution
is in desperate need of revision.
During the Christmas holidays, a more up-to-
date draft was made. This will be up
for ratification at Thursday's Cabinet
meeting.
The main changes are printed on the
front page of today's issue. The Cabinet
urges you to consider them and bring your
suggestions of criticisms to Cabinet meeting.
The revision, we feel, is a vast improvement,
but is still far from perfect.
Though new methods of meeting candidates
and counting votes are proposed, no
attempt is made to introduce a true secret
ballot. Under the present system, voters
are given a number and a corresponding
number is written on the outside of the
ballot. The constitution actually requires
signed ballots.
No system of either signing ballots or
numbering them would be necessary if a
true secret ballot could be adopted. Either
one main poll could be open and all voters
have their names checked off as they vote
or three polls could be used with partial
lists at each poll.
This as we see it was one of the basic
flaws of the old constitution. A mere rewording
of the section concerning elections
will not right it.
A secret ballot is necessary if the constitution
is not to be revised again soon.
* The Cabinet might well consider such
a change.
The Tiger Rag
The Tiger Rag, so-called official organ
of the Inter-Fraternity Council, is still unofficial
despite the publication of two issues.
Although a petition was presented
to the Publications Board, approval has
been delayed pending further information
concerning the magazine.
Most important of the questions raised
by the Board was that of duplication of
Plainsman advertising by the new publication.
The new magazine hopes to finance
Itself largely through national and state
advertising, fields which do not conflict
with the Plainsman's present advertising
program.
Circulation of the new publication is another
matter which has not been settled
to the satisfaction of the Board. The" policy
of the magazine is that all students who
are interested will have access to the Tiger
Rag. Circulation will be primarily aimed
at fraternities and sororities, but copies
will be available for all interested students.
The Publications Board is also concerned
with the editorial policy of the new
magazine. The policy of the magazine has
been amply illustrated in the two issues
which have already appeared.
The magazine is to be financed largely
through its advertising program. The first
two issues showed a profit, but in the unlikely
case that future issues should fail
to do so from advertising alone, the Inter-
Fraternity Council is prepared to assume
financial responsibility for the publication.
Profits above a reasonable reserve
will be used for improvements in the
makeup of the magazine.
A final point delaying the approval of
the new magazine is a doubt as to the
need of another publication on the campus.
Both the stated editorial policy and th'e
enthusiastic reception of the first two
issues of the Tiger Rag should dispel any
doubt that such a magazine will have a
definite place in the college, and that it
will fill a need that none of the present
publications are intended to meet.
VETERAN VIEWS
KIIOW OP A(NY OLD DU'v>P FOR, REMT?
By the Way
By Billy Stephenson
WITHOUT A doubt API's student enrollment is destined to
increase more each quarter until an all-time high is reached.
The present number is reported to be 3,580 students, 350 less
than the peak of 1940-41. Had housing facilities been adequate,
the enrollment would probably have passed the '40-'41 peak.
Sooner or later living accommodations will be provided—
living conditions that are sufficient for anyone desiring admittance
to the college.
BUT IS the city of Auburn planning for the era when the
student enrollment reaches an all-time high? Planning to keep
the city in style with the school?
Auburn seems to have a foolproof
proposition as far as trade
goes. There are very few stores;
those that are located here don't
have much trouble in selling their
goods.
But Auburn is so crowded now
that there is a strain on the students
who are forced to wait in
lines for certain goods, and wait
for hours to get food and refreshments.
* * *
THE LAUNDRY presents another
problem. Will it be expanded
in a reasonable length of time
to take care of everybody? The
cleaners are having difficulty
in serving the present' number of
students, too.
* * *
RECENTLY THE City tax on
ciarettes was increased in Auburn.
Students must now pay a
ridiculous price for their smokes,
and undoubtedly the city takes
in a nice pile from such a tax. In
other words the city treasury
should build itself up in a hurry
with the help of a large college
student-body.
I hope the city will give some
thought to providing an adequate
environment for college studerits
by using a part of the income that
students are responsible for.

RICE INSTITUTE has a new
president (second one in its 34-
year history), William Vermillion
Hosuton, 46-year-old physicist,
who says' he's going to stiffen
Rice's entrance requirements,
and keep sports a college sideline.
For years Rice has cheerfully
flunked its most promising
football material in the Christmas
exams. Says Prexy Houston:
"Football should serve principally
to provide necessary physical
relaxation." Isn't he talking
about pingpong, maybe?

HAVING PUT out a Glomerata
in distant years past, I feel quite
incapable of writing my name
for the Plainsman. It seems feasible
for a former editor of a student
publication to go into complete
hibernation and shiver at
the thought of saying another
word in public. However, after
the Plainsman editor asked me
to speak my piece (of her own
accord), I'll attempt one last fling.

MY LAST year on the campus
was peak year of 1941 and it was
glorious in every respect. Now
that the school is returning to its
pre-war status, a tremendous
challenge faces e very Auburn
student, professor and administrator.
A great deal of progress has
been accomplished during the
present administration and I am
sure that futher progress is their
main desire." With the united efforts
of all, Auburn can continue
her forward trek and become the
outstanding school of the South.
It was well on the way when
the war broke out. It is up to the
students to get behind Auburn
and start the wheel rolling.
* * *
THERE WAS the day when
boarding house and fraternity
freshmen were required by the
upperclassmen to interest themselves
in Auburn—to enter into
extra curricular activity; the day
when everybody said "hey," with
every breath supported our
athletic teams (win or lose), when
pep rallies attracted everybody,
and the Auburn Spirit was known
throughout the South.
To borrow from the past the
best traditions and practices,
those that were fine and progressive;
and to apply them in the
future with new ideals must be
our goal.

Getting Serious
By "Beagle'
Dear Students:
Those of you that have been
here through the last few years
know that one of the primary
needs of the student body is a
workable Constitution. It is the
hope of the present Executive
Cabinet to find that Constitution.
The Cabinet alone cannot perfect
such a manuscript without the
aid of each individual student enrolled
in API.
It takes each and every one of
us, profiting by past mistakes,
trying new ideas, discussing the
advisability of changes, to create
an effective Constitution that will
last.
Therefore, we, the Cabinet, are
calling upon each of you to read
the proposed changes in the present
Constitution, discuss them
among your friends, and bring
what suggestions you might have
to" the Executive Cabinet meeting
Thursday, Jan. 17 at 5 p. m.
in room 207, Samford Hall.
We believe with your help that
a truly efficient constitution can
become a reality.
Very truly yours,
Norman McLeod, Jr.
Pres. Executive Cabinet.
an's organization, and the other
groups. These students must be of
the highest integrity, honesty,
ability, loyalty; they must above
all work for the good of the students
and the school, and must
not place themselves above either.
They must cordinate the organizations
with the administration,
the student body, and the
town and build Auburn to ever-increasing
heights. We all want
intelligent, upstanding and progressive
policies to be our guide.
It stands to reason that for the
next few years veterans are going
to play a major part in the
forward march of the school. It
is imperative that our leaders be
picked after close scrutiny and
possess qualities of effective leadership.
* * *
NOW IS the time for the veterans
to begin their interest in
the future of their Alma Mater
by supporting and attending their
organization meetings, by entering
into publications, Auburn
Players, Glee Club and other activities.
The challenge is a great
one, but the veterans have matured
during their absence: They
remember the past and realize
how important it is to take some
of the old into the future. By
meeting that challenge, Auburn's
future, through the cooperation
. and loyalty of all, has unlimited
possibilities.
* * *
This column is for Ihe views of
veterans whether they were here
befoie or not. Now that I've expressed
mine, I'm asking every
veteran who remembers the true
Auburn Spirit to express his
thoughts in this column.
We ask for reasonable, intelligent
suggestions and criticisms
that should be brought to the
front. We believe that your
opinions can be presented to the
student body so that all can benefit.
This is your column and we are
asking you to use it. Just drop a
line to "Trigger" in care of the
Plainsman.
Editor's Scribbles
Our thanks to the gals and
guys who met our deadlines this
week. See, our paper did almost
come out on time—for a change.
And are we proud.
* * *
The gal who really runs the
paper, managing, editor Irene
Long, senior in science and- lit
from Adamsville and Portar and
Argo and a few points east, will
attend a press conference in Birmingham
this week end with
ye ed. We expect to find out how
to run this rag right.
* * *
MORAL: Get your stories in
early if you want them to appear
in next week's issue.
* • *
Meet some more of our staff if
you will: Betty Calhoun, a freshman
from Atlanta, is our new
cartoonist. She tops BY THE
WAY with a drawing each week.
After some research we found
out that "Trigger" McGehee's
name is really William. He and
Bob Flewellen are conducting
VETERAN VIEWS. But, shucks,
gals, they're both married.
Trigger attended Auburn before
Uncle Sam's Army . Air
Forces accepted his services; Bob
transferred after graduating from
the University, but we've agreed
to forget and forgive. In 1941
Trigger was editor of the Glomerata;
he's a Spade, ODK, and has
a finger in almost every honorary
on the campus. Assistant coordinator
of veterans' affairs, Bob
was recently tapped for Spades.
He saw service in the Pacific before
coming to API to take agriculture.
Back Talk
. from those who don't agree
January 10, 1946
Dear Editor: —
We would like to criticize part
of what was written in Veteran
Views in the January 9 edition
of the Plainsman. We quote:
"'Others saw plenty of battle
and want to forget what hap-pended—
now most of the guys
that stayed back in the rear like
to tell of their experiences that
they did or didn't have."
In the last year or so many
civilians have written articles on
haw to greet the returning service,
men. The person who wrote
the above quoted stuff has either
read too much of said articles
and has fallen into a state of
•self-pity or else he is one of those
poor unfortunates who was afflicted
with Combat Fatigue. In
either case we can understand
his wanting to forget.
But, it is high time people
realize that all veterans are not
this type; yea, that the majority
of them are not! Most veterans
like to talk about their experiences,
whether they be combat
or non-combat experiences. Some
may be bitter; that is too true.
There's always one in any crowd.
Why forget our experiences, be
they good or bad? When we forget
them, everyone else forgets
too. The first thing we know then
everybody is primed and cocked
for another war. Let us remember
and let us profit from our
memories.
In other words, to close this
sermon, we resent your statement
that only rear echelon men talk
of their experiences, SIR!
Sincerely yours,
Ronald Hamby
James M. Young
Dear Editor:
Is there anything in the student
government's constitution
that deals "with absences of members
from executive cabinet
meetings?
At the last meeting, a quorum
was not present. Important business
could not be passed upon.
Who knows whether it was deliberate
so that action could be delayed?
The student body elected its
representatives because t h ey
thought them capable of the responsibility.
When they prove
they are not, is there something
we can do?
Sincerely,
(Name Withheld)

Boots Chambless
Returns To API
By Jimmy Coleman
Boots Chambless, prewar Auburn
guard coach, has returned
to Alabama Poly after three
years service in the Army.
Chambless was a standout
guard for the Tigers from 1931-33
and was alternate captain during
his senior year at the Plains. In
1934 he was appointed line coach
by head man Jack Meagher and
turned out to be Auburn's best
guard tutor of all time.
Two years later he began to
receive praise from numerous
coaches and s p o r t s scribes
throughout the nation. Stuart X.
Stephenson, in his column "X-Raying
Sports" had this to say
about Chambless in 1936:
"Won Spurs"
"Boots Chambless, one of the
three or four greatest modern
guards to play football in Alabama,
has won his spurs as a
varsity coach. Judging by his results
I am inclined to believe that
Boots could make a respectable
guard out of a milk cow."
His record is decisive proof.
Chambless developed such Auburn
guests as Milton Howell,
Frank Gantt, Happy Sivell, Nick
Ardillo, Max Morris, Earnest
Mills, Sam McCroskey, and Jack
Cornelius.
"T" Lumpkin Named

Taylor "T". Lumpkin is The

after two and a half years in the

He is a member of Theta Chi

Plainsman office, phone 448.
Members of the sports staff
have not yet been appointed.
Anyone interested in working on
