MICROFILM OF BOOKS
FOR NEW PROJECTOR
BOUGHT BY LIBRARY
Research facilities of the main
library now include a Recordak
film projector.
At the present time, the library
does not have a large supply'of
film but more will be obtained
within a few quarters.
This machine will save a large
amount of space because six rolls
of recordak film may be stored
in the space formerly required
for one book. At the present time
microfilm of all the latest books
and periodicals can be obtained
from the distributor.
Contrary to popular belief, cost
of the film does nof exceed ten
cents a page. It is estimated that
the cost of the microfilm will de­cline
as the demand increases.

Eight Million To Be Spent In
Larger Enrollment
Calls For More
Temporary Relief
By Billy Stephenson
Auburn's present enrollment of
4,324 will probably increase by
more than 28 per cent if the con­templated
5,500 students arrive
at the beginning of 1947.
In order to solve the classroom
and housing shortages at present
and in order to cope with the ex­pected
increase in enrollment
during the next two quarters, the
college has been forced to revert
to temporary expedient in spite
of the fact that plans are made
for a permanent solution of the
problem.
President L. N. Duncan has ap­pointed
a committee of S. F.
Brewster, c h a i r m a n , Ralph
Draughon, and Charles Edwards
to canvass the campus in an ef­fort
to determine the maximum
use of present classroom and lab
space.
Although the committee h as
not completed its study, Mr.
Brewster states that the college
will be able to provide class­room
and housing space for the
predicted 5,500 student enroll­ment
by utilizing certain space
now used for other purposes.
Three Hangers
Included in the college's tem­porary
relief plan is the erection
of three steel hangers, two of
which will be used to house the
military department, and one for
an auditorium-gym. Space will be
released by the removal of ROTC
and physical education classes to
the hangers. The hangers have
arrived, but cannot be erected
until priorities are obtained.
New Apartments-Dormitories
Approval has recently been re­ceived
for construction to begin
approximately July 1 on 69 two-bedroom
apartments for married
veterans, and 15 two-story dorm­itories
to accomodate 570 single
men, who will be served meals in
Graves Center.
Construction in Progress
Work is now in progress on the
erection of 51 additional houses
with one, two, and three bed­rooms
for married veterans, and
by July 1 93 deck houses will be
completed to accomodate 196
single men, who will be fed at
Graves Center.
"Any and Everything"
Since late 1945 the college has
been forced to use "any and
everything from government
sources." Officials and members
of the P.-T.A. have made house-to-
house appeals for living quar­ters
for students, and have found
every available room for stu­dents.
Attempts to ease the housing
situation for students were begun
during the fall quarter when the
enrollment began to rise. Auburn
Hall, accomodating 192 women,
and Auburn Dining Hall, accom­odating
200 women, were pur­chased,
a hospital and cafeteria
in Opelika were secured and re­modeled
to provide space for 225
single men, 74 completely furn­ished
houses were built with one,
two and three bedrooms for mar­ried
veterans, and a 140-man
trailer camp with 53 government
trailers.

Next Decade To Build Greater API
Permanent Long-Range Plan Includes
Construction of 20 New Buildings
* By Billy Stephenson
Foresight of the greater API which will exist within the
next decade may be realized by Alabama's education-seeking
people this week after an eight million expansion program
was reviewed by Sam F. Brewster, director of buildings and
grounds department, approved for publication by Dr. L. N.
Duncan, president.
• The permanent long-range plan for a greater API will be
developed after veterans' housing restrictions on building
materials have been lifted, and . , , , j . , „
money might be donated.
It was pointed out by this of­ficial
that the API administration
is working hard and conscient-ously
to build Auburn into a col­lege
with an adequate physical
plant and staff to take care of the
young men and women of the
state, and that with the support
of alumni and students it is ex­pected
that API will greatly ex­pand
and develop in the coming
decade.
AT LAST! WE'RE GETTING RID OF EX-EDITOR MIMI SIMS
Though Mimi Simms' term as
editor of The Plainsman expired
last quarter, precedents she set
then still characterize her. Being
late to class, constant chattering
about everything from politics to
flavors of milk shakes in differ­ent
drug stores, a photographic
memory that enables her to bene­fit
from last-minute cramming-^-
to mention a few.
Upon graduation in May, Mimi
will work as a reporter on the
Huntsville Times. This is some­thing
a few friends can't under­stand.
Mimi's father is chief of
the Bureau of Animal Husbandry
in Washington, and one would
expect her to try for a job in thp
nation's capitol.
"After all those editorials I've
written about staying in the
south, how could I leave?" she
asks. "Anyway, Alabama is home
to me, and I really want to repay
Auburn," commented Dr. Dun­can.
"Without the living space
granted by these people it would
be impossible for many students
to find living quarters."

in the social and econo­mic
progress of the south.
A member of Delta Zeta soror­ity,
Mimi got her first taste of
dormitory life last fall after her
family moved to Washington. She
likes it, but it took some time to
get used to signing in and out and
being in by a certain time. Soror­ity
sisters and members of the
Westminster Fellowship who
have sampled her food think she
should have b e e n a home
economist. She learned to cook
from her mother, who is' of
French descent.
Mimi isn't very athletically in­clined.
She doesn't care for PE.
Her current worry is why she
bought an expensive bathing suit
because she hardly ever goes
swimming.
How does it feel to be graduat­ing?
Wonderful, Mimi said.
"But," she added, "I like Au­burn
so well I stayed this quar­ter
when I could have graduated
last quarter by taking a five hour
course instead of a three, hour
course. I just lacked two hours
this quarter."
AUBURN LOSES TO
GEORGIA GOLFERS
The Plainsman golfers dropped
a match to the University of
Georgia team on the Columbus
Country Club course Friday by
a score of 12% to 5%.
The Georgians, undefeated this
season, recently tied Louisiana
State at the conference meet.
John Wood, junior from Bir­mingham,
was Auburn low scorer
with 75. Crow, of Georgia, shot a
73; Gene Moor, Auburn, 77; and
Lloyd Kranert, Auburn, 80.
Arrangements are underway to
meet Georgia Tech. Beavour
County Club ol Montgomery, or
Emory University of Atlanta in
a return match. Auburn tied
Emory 9-9 two weeks ago on the
Columbus Country Club course.
should be completed within the
next 10 to 15 years.
Included in the "Master Cam­pus
Plan" for API are 20 new
buildings — dormitories for men
and women, gyms, and classroom
buildings along with street and
sidewalk changes, and much
grading and new landscaping.
One of the earliest possible
projects, according to Mr. Brew­ster,
is the building of 10,000 addi­tional
seats to the football stad­ium
on the east side, and a stad­ium
type fence enclosing the
field.
Architects are now working on
plans for a new engineering lab
building, while plans and speci­fications
have been completed
for a dormitory and dining hall
,for 450 men.
Preliminary plans have been
made for a naval science build­ing,
central heating plant, agri­culture
building, Building and
Grounds office and warehouse,
forestry building, auditorium,
student union building, admini­stration
building, abattoir build­ing,
classroom building, and a
new dormitory group for women.
Buildings for which prelimin­ary
plans are not entirely com­plete
are industrial engineering
shops building, gym, additional
dormitories for men, home econ­omics
building, architecture and
arts building, additional general
classroom building, veterinary
buildings, agricultural engineer­ing
annex, and also a swimming
pool and bath house.
Locations of the new buildings,
and changes in campus drives
may be noted on a "Master Cam­pus
Plan" map -which was re­leased,
and is printed on an in­side
page of this issue of The
Plainsman.
"Until after the veterans' hous­ing
shortage is taken care of na­tionally,
it will be impossible for
us to begin our expansion pro­gram,"
Mr. Brewster states.
Nothing can be built now other
than buildings for emergencies.
As soon as labor is plentiful and
materials are available in large
quantities we will begin work
on structures for a greater Au­burn."
One of the landscape features
included in plans for the future
is the construction of a sunken
pool, with walks, seats, and
hedges surrounding, which will
be located in the lawns in front of
Ross Chemical Building. The
Class of 1942 donated money for
the erection and developing of
such a project. j
"In connection with the idea
of the donation by the Class of
1942," said Mr. Brewster, "we
would like to point out that any
organization or class on the cam­pus
may make a similar contribu-tios
toward building a more beau­tiful
campus. The department of
building and grounds will be glad
to offer suggestions for what the

A STUDENT SYMPOSIUM:
Why Folsom Led In Demoratic Primary
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
below are written only in an attempt to
give the reasons why "Big Jim" Folsom
led the primary over Handy Ellis and
should not be construed as evaluations of
the merits of either candidate for gov­ernor.
* * * *
By Mary Hazel Ford
Big Jim Folsom, the man without much
of a platform but with a hill billy band,
has swept Alabama off its feet and into
the same category with Texas and Louisi­ana.
With Bilbo on one side, Talmadge on
the other and the memory of Tom Heflin
still fresh in the minds of Alabamians, an
outright demagogue has little chance. In
fact Alabamians were sorry for Georgia
and Mississippi because they were not far
enough advanced to ignore demagogy. In
1944 when Lister Hill defeated Jim Simp­son
who shouted about "states rights and
white supremacy," Alabama patted her­self
on the back and said, "I am political­ly
mature." *
But a man with a band is something,
else.
Now the choice is between "Big Jim"
and Ellis who says, "The real issue is the
people of Alabama and their traditional
democracy versus the Political Action
Committee, whose chairman is Sidney
Hillman of New York.", and adds that
this group will "wreck all other unions in
our state, destroy our traditions and dis­rupt
our fine race relations by breaking
down our segregation laws—".
Much is being said about Folsom's hav­ing
the support of the C.I.O. and a great
deal more is going to be said because
C.I.O. backing will swing more of Folsom's
votes to Ellis than Ellis can get on his
own from the other candidates.
Take a look at the counties Folsom" car­ried:
Morgan, Dale, Fayette, Marion, Hous­ton
and over twenty other rural counties.
The mining county, Walker, did give Fol­som
its majority, but he did not carry
Jefferson, the home of Alabama C.I.O.
Alabama is not an industrial state; Ala­bama
is an agricultural state. By sheer
weight of numbers the C.I.O. has no weight
in Alabama except to cause a negative
reaction making the average Alabamian
willing to vote for the . devil himself in
preference to a union backed man.
Folsom won the first primary because
the farmer liked him personally and he
will lose the second primary because Ala­bama
is scared of the C.I.O. s

The day after the election many people
were amazed to find that "Big Jim" Fol­som
had walked off with more "votes than
any other candidate in the Alabama race
for governor. But if you take a minute to
look back over American history his popu­larity
doesn't seem so amazing after all.
"Big Jim" knew Alabama was largely
made up of rural and small communities,
and he merely planned his campaign to
appeal to these people. He knew others
had tried it and proven that it would work.
For instance there was Andrew Jack­son,
known as "Old Hickory". A plainer
frontiersman couldn't have been found in
the Tennessee Mountains, and he spoke
the language the common people knew.
After he became president he invited all
his friends up to his new home in Wash­ington
to help him celebrate, and there
wasn't any one of them who wouldn't have
shared his last drink with him.
Then there was "Tippiecanoe" Harrison
of cider barrel fame who used to make
speeches out on a stump and all the peo-
-ple hitched up their wagons and came for
miles around to cheer him and drink his
free cider.
More recently, there was Jim Davis, the
colorful cowboy who attained the Gover­norship
of Texas to the tune of "You are
my Sunshine" picked out by the hillbilly
fiddlers.
Also of the plain corn-fed candidates
was Gov. Gene Talmadge of Georiga, who
had everybody in Georgia wearing red
suspenders, and who used to ride down

It may have been the C.I.O. was re­sponsible
for bringing the votes in for
"Big Jim",, it may have been his plat­form,
it may have been because the vet­erans
wanted him, or the farmers, but
mostly it was his neighborly countrified
personality, that made a bigger hit with
the majority of the Alabama country folks,
than any sound political theories or sta­tistics
would have ever made.
"Big Jim" was just a mighty good mixer.
He * * *
By Belfe Parker
The main reason why Big Jim Folsom
led the gubernatorial candidates is be­cause
thousands of Alabama's thinking
people didn't take the trouble to vote.
This is the "let John do it" attitude found
so often among people who should lead
the way, rather than spectate on the side
lines. They are the people who think that
their vote wouldn't decide the election
anyway, and it was just a lot of unneces­sary
trouble.
Another reason for the big man's good
race may be laid to his CIO-PAC backing
—a backing somewhat underrated during
the campaign, but now realized to possess
a voice that will be heard.
Just as Jimmie Davis of Louisiana and
Pappy O'Daniel of Texas used slap-string­ing
guitars and whistlin' fiddles to bally­hoo
them into the governor's chair, so did
"Big Jim" impress people \vith his folksey
yarns and his back country band. It would
seem that the biggest part of the people
swayed by this cprn-husking technique
were ignorant country people and unin­formed
mountain folk. "Big Jim's" method
proves that people like a show—even at
the expense of intelligent government.
The fact that "Big Jim" was the only
veteran of World War II was not a negli­gible
fact, and some veterans, not know­ing
the worth of any particular candidate,
voted for "Big Jim" just because he was
a veteran, and would probably be sensi­tive
to their needs.
Folsom will lose the second primary
election because Ellis has already secured
the voluntary backing of Gordon Persons.
Persons carried more than 40,000 votes and
if these are swung into the Ellis box they
will be sufficient to nose out "Big Jim"
who only had about 16,000 plurality over
Ellis .
Ellis will win the runoff if Alabama
political history is any signpost. The
chances in a runoff for a governor favors
the runnerup rather than the leader, pro­vided
three,is not too wide a margirr*be-tween
them. This statement is borne out
in a study of the results of the only two
gubernatorial runoffs in Alabama's exist­ence.
On May 1, 1934, Alabama voters cast
132,462 ballots for Bibb Graves, and 97,508
for Frank Dixon.
Graves received about 43 *£ percent of
the vote and led Dixon, who polled 32 per­cent,
by 34,954.
In, the runoff, June 12, 1934, however,
Dixon cut down the Graves lead from
34,954 to 21,831—an illustration in which
the leading candidate ied by too large a
vote to be overcome by the runnerup, but
also illustrating how the voting trend
favors the runnerup.
Folsom is leading Ellis by 15,962 and
polled only 28% percent of the total vote
to 24y2 percent for Ellis. Disregarding for
the moment the eliminated candidates' in­fluence,
this means that Ellis only has to
overcome a 4 percent lead held by "Big
Jim" to win. This shouldn't be hard be­cause
Henderson overcame a 5% percent
lead held by Comer in 1914. If this political
formula is consistent, and has been so far,"
Handy Ellis will be out in front by more
than 10,000 votes when all the returns are
in June 4.
Another good reason why Folsom will
lose in- the June runoff is because Folsom
reputedly plans to reverse his field so far
as his CIO-PAC endorsement goes.
Apropos this John Temple Graves says in
Sunday's Birmingham News:
"In Scottsboro, Alabama, last Saturday,
the central square was crowded with farm­ers
from all over Jackson county as usual.
Every one there seemed to be for "Big
Jim". Then I asked if it made any differ­ence
that Folsom was the CIO's candidate.
I had the amazing reply that this was just
a lie spread by the Birmingham news­paper,
you gather that they wouldn't have
for "Big Jim" if they had believed he was
the CIO's man, no matter how entertain­ing
he was with his fiddlers and his hiop.
They'll have to learn this fact of life about
the big fellow now and I don't believe
.they'll stand'for it."

VETERANS' VIEWS
Before we turn this column over to another veteran, there
are a few things existing in Auburn that we think need atten­tion.
We know that there are other situations here that should
be brought to light, but below are some of the items with
which we are personally acquainted. Let it be known at the
outset that this column is written in a spirit of constructive
criticism with the hope that this article will bring results and
not hard feelings. . -

From our observation we think that Drake Infirmary is
understaffed and like our teachers, that the staff is under­paid.
We firmly believe that the underpayment of teachers
and staffs at API is directly attributable to insufficient funds
from the State. We hope that the new administration in Mont­gomery
will relieve this situation immediately so that Auburn
can keep its present staffs and be attractive to incoming pro­fessional
people.
As for the operation of Drake Infirmary, we believe that
the present staff of nurses are doing a commendable job but
there just aren't enough there to handle a hospital of this
size. We understand that provisions are now being made to
put the nurses on 8 hour shifts and that efforts to obtain addi­tional
help are in progress. Students who were really sick
have complained all year that the college physician hasn't
given them proper attention". ...We think there is a'lot of
room for improvement in our-excellently equipped hospital.

Second on our" list: the Veterans' Co-op store . . . the
veterans have worked hard to establish a venture that is a
real help to the ex-G. I. living on the Bill of rights. Now they
need more room in the present building so that the store can
give better and more efficient service . . . it seems to us that
more space in the unused portion of the present building could
be alloted to the store . . . we" were glad to see posts installed
in front of the apartments to protect our children from in­coming
vehicles.
These posts of course, have stopped trucks from getting
to the store and we feel that Mr. Brewster should get VERY
busy and realize that in order for the Co-op to operate, pro­visions
must be made to handle the big trucks coming to the
store . . . it seems to us that a service alley could be installed
on the side of Graves auditorium and thence to the back of
the Co-op store.
If the planes that almost stopped a recent Sunday after­noon
outdoor performance and have been continually flying
at low altitude over Auburn are from our airport, we believe

It was decided that the question
scheduled to be published in this
issue was not actually a question
and that it was unsuitable for a
poll of opinion.
Instead, a miniature run-off for
governor of Alabama was staged
on the campus. The question for
ihis week was, "Do you favor
Handy Ellis or Jim Folsom for
Alabama's next governor?"
It seems that the campus is al­most
evenly divided between the
two candidates. From over 800
polled, there was a difference of
some thirty students. Because
many students are residents of
the state of Georgia and did not
venture an opinion, the "no opin­ion"
has been omited. It was be­lieved
that this would not give
a true picture of Auburn campus
opinion.
From over 800 students polled,
the opinion was:
In favor of Ellis 52.8%
In favor of Folsom 47.2%
Alpha Phi Omega is discontinu­ing
the poll of opinion after this
issue. The members hope that the
campus has benefited from this
poll.

not the atom or the B-29 that
will determine the future. It's us
—The.seniors in the tasseled caps
and black gowns.
And it's a big job. It's finding
our places in our own society—
our southern society. It's solving
our economic, educational, and
racial problems. It's believing in
and working toward peace.
We've a long way to go. We
have to find out that we don't
know everything just because we
have been to college. We have to
discover the- South as a land of
opportunity and we have to stay
here to work out our problems.
We have to learn that criticism
of the South by a "Yankee" may
be true, even if we don't like that
criticism. We need to withhold
own judgments until we have
considered all the facts.
We should have started a long
time ago. Some of us did. Some
of us become socialites;, others,
bookworms. On the average, we
didn't make good the best use of
our time and college opportuni­ties.
But we developed attitudes
about learning. We found that it
doesn't stop when we receive a
degree. We learned that a profes­sor's
philosophy on how to get
along with people is as important
as his technical teachings—if he
is a good professor.
Although we were products of
the war years (that means we had
substitutions in our curricula,
fewer teachers, accelerated sche­dules
with less time to actually
get down and learn), we are not
a total loss to society. Because,
with so many distracting influ­ences,
we had to make our lives
balance—or we couldn't have got­ten
through school.
We can continue our studies in
the northern graduate and re­search
schools and labs. But we
can make our lives count for
more if we work for our south
when we finish graduate training.
Atoms, plastic shoe soles, elec­trons,
bazookas, Frank Sinatra,
flying forts, and us—all are prod­ucts
of the atomic age.
But we are the most important.
We will determine the future.
The seniors in the tasseled caps
and black gowns.
When we step through the
main gate May 31, we will be on
our way.

College Is Auburn
Writer Concludes
Everyone who Jias ever left
the hometown, and "gone off to
college" knows that the first
thing he is asked when he sets
his suitcase down in the front
hall, or goes downtown to the
drugstore, is the inevitable "Well,
how do you like college, tell us
all about it."
'"• Usually a vague answer such as
"Oh, it's a great life," or "a fine
school" or "it's okay," or "so-so",
or just plain "rotten" is sufficient
to please the folks, but the stu­dent
who is really conscientious
about such matters, knows you
can't describe what college is like
with mere adjectives.
College is:
The friendly "Hi" and "Hello"
when you meet a fellow student
on the campus.

It's spending your last quarter
at Markle's on Monday night for
a milk shake.
The students streaming across
the campus when the clock on
the tower strikes 12 noon.
It's trying to keep awake in
a one o'clock class.
It's the smell of blackboards
and tobacco and wet wool on a
rainy morning.
It's the way the campus looks
in the mopnlight when you get
the smell of honeysuckle on the
breeze.
It's the disappointment con­tained
in an empty mailbox, and
seeing your girl in the show with
another guy.
It's the assorted snacks of pic­kles
and doughnuts and apples
you consume while studying at
night.
College is English Lit and Cal-culas,

Small Colleges Offer
Basic Engineering
At least 500 Alabama veterans
are now taking their first- engi­neering
years at u n c r o w d ed
teachers colleges, junior colleges,
and liberal arts colleges through­out
the state, according to Dean
J. E. Hannum of the School of
Engineering.
Dean Hannum recently dis­cussed
the two-year basic engi­neering
curriculum with mem­bers
of the Troy State Teachers
College faculty at the invitation
of Pres. C. B. Smith. The course,
designed by Auburn's engineering
faculty, was^originally a coopera­tive
venture in higher education
but has now become an economic
necessity. Without this arrange­ment
between Auburn and small­er
schools, many-students wishing
to study engineering would be
idly waiting without an opening.
Any student finishing basic at
these three types of schools may
enter any engineering school in
Auburn as a junior in good stand­ing.
HAGEDORN'S
The Style Center of East Alabama
Let's talk a little about the three things with
which we have built our business over a period of
of more than a quarter of a century-
Quality...Value...Service
QUALITY: We have never sacrificed our qual­ity
even when goods were at their scarcest, and we
will maintain our standards of the best goods
available at all times.
VALUE: We are not super men, and we cannot
undersell everyone, but at all times we always
guarantee you as much for your dollar as can be
bought anywhere.
SERVICE: We will try to render the best in
service as always.
We wish to thank our many friends for their kindnesses
and cooperation.

Veterans Views
(Continued from page 4)
this annoying and dangerous
practice can be stopped by air­port
officials . . . we seem to re­call
that C. A. A. prohibits low
flying over towns and crowds . . .
and we've heard that C. A. A.
will relieve show-off pilots of
their licenses for such infringe­ments.
We have been in many towns
in these United States but we
have yet to find a town with such
an - inefficient telephone systen>
as we have in Auburn . . . we've
"waited five or six minutes for the
operator to answer and equally
as long to get a number. We are
aware that this switch board is
overloaded but we also think
that the officials should not rest
until they have gotten the neces­sary
equipment to improve their
service.
* » *
It is understood that Dean
Spidle and the college are work­ing
on plans for a full time
Nursery school for the children
of Veterans . . . we hope the
plans materialize soon as the
regular school is unable to in­crease
the present enrollment and
most Veterans are unable to hire
nurses. * * *
Now that a new laundry is
being constructed, we hope that
the Ideal will endeavor to im­prove
the quality of its student
laundry. With such treatment as
clothes now get a't the Ideal, they
are lasting about half as long as
they should. This rough treat­ment
as well as lost articles be­comes
a major problem with the
critical clothing shortage . . . we
also think that if the Ideal is
going to continue student con­tract
laundry that it should-;get
items necessary to carry'on such
a "business . . . namely coat hang­ars,
either steel, or cardboard.
Maybe now that the laundry has
increased its price for student
laundry, it will give more thought
to quality.
* * • *
We hope we speak for the ma­jority
of the students in publish­ing
the above remarks . . . . and
again we say that we are not
trying to be a "griper" or to hurt
any feelings . . . our hope is that
action will be taken for the good
of the student body.
* » *
As this is our last stand in this
column, we would like to go on
record for the following: more
pay for our teachers, administra­tors
and staffs; to see a return of
the true Auburn Spirit; .a dis­appearance
of cheating; a cooper­ative
and unified student body;
a BIGGER and BETTER AU­BURN;
WAR EAGLE!!!!
OLDEST
Formed in 1899.
it is 47 years young, governed by
sound American policies that come
from long experience.
LARGEST
With membership nearing the
2,000,000 mark, it is the largest
organization of America's overseas
fighters.
STRONGEST
Throughout the nation, wherever
veteran opinion is

Friday's Two-Hour Investigation Shows
Auburn Necking Spots Not Overcrowded
By j a y Havelock
Rumors concerning the overcrowding of the Auburn necking
spots have been so prevelent lately that I decided to inspect some
of the more famous locations. The inspecting party consisted of the
writer, his wife, and another married couple. We began our in­spection
about eight o'clock Friday night. and concluded it about
ten, feeling that these should be the most crowded hours.
Starting out Magnolia avenue
we passed the trailer camp, the
Alpha. Psi house and then turned
left past the golf course and
drove out toward the animal
isolation ward. On this drive we
passed one couple innocently,
walking the road toward the
campus. When we returned by
the same route they were still
walking the road toward the
campus. The only thing that at­tracted
our attention was that
the girl seemed to occupy her­self
with picking up sticks from
the roadside.
Our next route took us past the
Graves Center apartments, the
Farm house and out toward the
forestry plots. We made a com­plete
tour of these plots, ending
up just south of the chicken farm
on the Montgomery highway. On
this drive we saw not a single
couple nor even one car parked.
The area was as innocent as a
nursery.
Returning to town we turned
out East Glenn onto the air port
road and followed this all the
way to Opelika with negative
results. Our only success was in
nearly succeeding in getting our-self
lost. We had never been over
that route before and had to take
a chance everytime we came to a
crossroad or a fork in the road.
However we managed to get
back to the highway and return­ed
to Auburn. We then turned
off on Ross and proceeded to
Chewacla drive, which is an un-paved
extension of Ross running
from Thach to Samford. Again
we encounted no couples and no
parked cars and our score was
absolute zero.
Swinging back onto college,
we turned off by Comer Hall and
spyed our second couple of the
night sitting on the steps of the
Ag Engineering Building. Then
we turned down through the
famous and much-maligned Ag
Hollow and found one parked
car. But we were disappointed to
find that the occupants of the
car were just two boys.
Our final investigation was of
the baseball field and Bullard
field. Since we didn't have a spot­light
on the car it was impossible
to investigate throughly the dug­outs
and naturally we could not
see below the hedge but we saw
no evidence of anyone in either of
the two places.
So you see that the results of
the investigation were definite­ly
negative and this forces us to
one of two conclusions. Either
the Auburn students are not as
romatic as rumored or they were
all at home Friday night studying
for the Saturday quizzes. ''What
do you think?
INFORMAL FIRE GIVEN BY SIGMA CHIS
The Sigma Chis entertained Friday afternoon with an informal
fire in then*, back yard. Present were the brothers and pledges, the
next door neighbors, an undetermined number of passers-by and
the Auburn Fire Department in all the glory of their red and yellow
truck.
The party was at the expense of the owner of a certain motor­cycle
which was discovered in flames. Neither the exact cause of
the fire nor the amount of damage sustained was determined. For­tunately
the mishap occured too late in the quarter to be blamed on
the "hot-boxing" of pledges.
It is noteworthy that none of the brothers had presence of mind
enough to procure a few hot dogs to toast for supper.

Veterinary School
Adopts New Plan
For Summer Work
i
Dean R. S. Sugg announced
this week that the School of Vet­erinary
Medicine will adopt a
new plan of training beginning
with the summer quarter, where­by
junior and senior veterinar­ians
may intern during the sum­mer
months.
In making the announcement
Dean Sugg pointed out that the
accelerated war - time -program
prevented veterinarians from in­terning
other than between quar­ters
and at two or three day
periods.
Freshmen and sophomore stu­dents
will continue their regular­ly
scheduled veterinary work.
The veterinary school is making
the change for the summer in
order to offer the same oppor­tunities
of the nine other schools
over the country, which recently
changed to a similar program.
"We could not afford to keep
our war-time program in effect,"
explained Dr. Sugg, "when at
the same time other schools
would be offering . more. Our
graduates would not have the
same footing as those of other1
schools."
The Veterinarian Committee on
Admission will admit a new
group to the vet school in Janu­ary
1947, and again in Septem­ber
of the same year. The com­mittee
makes decisions on appli­cations
approximately 30 days be­fore
admission dates.
Alabama students are consider­ed
first for the 60 freshman ap­plications
which are open, but
adaptability, scholarship are im­portant
factors for selection.
"The veterinary school has
more applications for admission
than it can possible grant," says
Dean Sugg. "An example of ap­plicants
is as follows: Ala. 78;
N. C, 138; Ga., 129; Miss., 63; and
N. Y., 152. This list is by no
means complete. We even have
20 applications from foreign
countries."
Dean Sugg states the major
problem of the Auburn veterin­ary
school is that of faculty and
equipment shortages, but he
points out that even if the school
could obtain facilities it could
not possibly meet the present de­mands
for veterinary training.
Having recently been appoint­ed
to a sub-committee on veter­inary
education by the National
Research Council, Dr. Sugg, along
with two other veterinary lead­ers
in the U. S., is investigating
the veterinary situation in states
which do not have schools of in­struction.
"If states which have vet
schools were to close their doors
to out-of-state students," says
Dean Sugg, "the nation would
have only ten states in which men
could become veterinarians. We
will continue to do our best in
solving the problem, but no,plan
has been worked out as yet."

Between rains last week some
fraternities.managed to squeeze
in a few softball games namely
the Pi" K A's and the A G R's,
Pi: K A beat them 6 to 3. After
three .tries which had to be called
off on account of rain the S N's
finally did take the T C's 4 to 3.
The teams "in league III tried
their darndest to finish up but
couldn't get around to it, as it
Stands now- the league is, tied be­tween
TC and PDT. K S came out
in head position in league I and
SAE leads number II. In league
IV SX and PDT are tied for head
position. . ..' .
The eliminations began yester­day
and will run until completed
if it takes all day Saturday and
Sunday. There won't be any rain
checks, so bring your raincoats.
It might be a good idea if the
boys in the fraternity houses
would begin eleminations within
their fraternities for horseshoe
pitchers. Horseshoe pitching will
begin Monday at five and finish
up Tuesday. Two men will repre­sent
each fraternity.

The board of directors of this
column has nominated Fred Car-ley
as its 1946 wonder boy. We're
wondering how he does it . . .
The freshman boys over at the
Methodist church are really en­thused
over their new Sunday
School teacher, Coach Evans of
the Auburn athletic department.
It is not customary to save the
good news for last, but I'll be
different and do it. I know that
you'll be glad to hear that this
column and columnist is going
into hibernation never to come
but and foul up the pages of Ye
Plainsman again. What I'm trying
to. say is, You've had it, now
ain'tcha glad?

Commuting From Montgomery Isn't Bad
As One Would Think, Curtis Duke Says
Paradoxical as it may sound,
Curtis Duke, senior in the School
of Education, finds commuting
from Montgomery convenient. He
works two hours every morning
in the circulation department of
the Montgomery Advertiser be­fore
boarding the bus that ar­rives
in Auburn at 8:40. Mrs.
Duke works for the state health
department and since their home
is established there, the arrange­ment
• is satisfactory to them. He
spends three hours a day on the
bus—no more than some students
idle away.
Curtis attended Montgomery
Bible College, a junior college,
and taught there a while before
entering Auburn. He studied at
Abilene Christian College, Tex.,
last summer. A minister, he plans
to preach in Prattville this sum­mer.
When he graduates, Curtis will
become dean of the Montgomery
Bible College and head the Eng­lish
department. (The school has
about 100 pupils.) He also plans to
work on a master's degree in
English here.
PLAYERS TO REVIVE
'OLIVER OLIVER'
TO TAKE ON ROAD
The Auburn Players, under the
direction of T. B. Peet, associate
professor of dramatic art, are
planning a revival of Paul Os-born's
comedy, "Oliver Oliver"
to take on the road next fall.
Mr. Peet states that it is his
plan to cast some of the roles in
this production before the end of
the current quarter. All students
who are interested in parts are
requested to see Mr. Peet,
who plans a meeting of these
students in the near future.
Even if it is rumored that he
can outrun Superman, Fred Car-ley,
coach Hutsell's most out­standing
track f i n d , seldom
makes breakfast on time. .

Kate BurtonSays:
Have you ever seen any­thing
like the amount of
rain we had last week. I
fought a losing fight against
tracked mud and sand. It
seems that I am constanly
facing new obligations atid
if it weren't for BURTON'S
I'd never get through.
We have five nieces and
nephews graduating from
high school this month and
I did want something extra
nice for all of them.^Did I
tell you last week about the
Herb Farm Cosmetics? I'm
sure I did but I don't think
I told you about the gift
set they make for men. It's
Pomander lotion and talc
and it does smell so good.
I still think stationery is
just about perfect for the
girl or boy who is going
away to college. I know that
I was the most homesick
freshman who ever lived
and if it hadn't been for the
ability to write letters I
would never have lasted till
Christmas. Get your gradu­ate
some Eaton's or^Montag
paper, perhaps with his or
her monogram on it. BUR­TON'S
do keep the lovliest
stock of stationery and their
embossing service makes
your gift a little more per­sonal.
For the girl graduate how
about a Jill-Fold, embossed
with her initials? BUR--
TON'S has some gorgeous
red leather folders to warm
her hand and her heart.
No matter how many ash
trays we have at our house
the minute we have over
four guests I'm running
frantically searching for
just one more, or else emp­tying'
them. BURTON'S
got in the nicest shipment
of crystal pieces from the
Rainbow Art Company. In
the shipment is a nest of
ashtrays, heavy crystal, real
deep and shaped like a clo­ver
leaf with a frosting of
cranberry glass around the
top. I got two sets for' the
house. One set will be used
as ash trays, the other set to
serve mints and nuts when
I have the bridge club. I
can't tell you all the things
they have in this shipment.
There is a beautiful candy
dish shaped like a heart,
several pairs of bud vases,
a set of individual salts with
a dainty gold rim, small
candy jars with tops (get a
pair of these to go on your
mantle — they're cranberry
glass and also an odd shade
of blue).
BURTON'S have started
taking orders for mono-grammed
matches again.
The acetate gift box con­taining
fifty match books is
a lovely and wonderful kift.
For your friends who enter­tain
a lot it is truly a boon.
Don't forget that BUR­TON'S
has lovely Hallmark
greeting cards for gradua­tion.
Put one in your gift
to add that finishing touch.
