MICROFILM OF BOOKS FOR NEW PROJECTOR BOUGHT BY LIBRARY Research facilities of the main library now include a Recordak film projector.

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. "We appreciate the cooperation that has been given to the college by the townspeople of 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." The CASINO Vi Mile Out on Montgomery Hiway OPEN DAILY Auburn's y\2 noon til 12 mid-nite Only Drive-In my home state for part of my education." She is intensely interested 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.

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 * * * * By Irene Marchman 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 Thz Plaindmcuv Published weekly by the students of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

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." Poll of Opinion If Junior failed algebra, what subject did Prof teach? 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. . - " Sp "p •!» /' 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 (Continued on page 5) FOOTPRINTS By Byrd Lee Flash! Sara Goodson wants a motor scooter. As soon as she finds one she will probably try and get a sniperscope which will enable her to see through the darkness. With this new equipment she will be able to do even a bitter job as president of WSGA. In fact if she worked real hard she could probably double her restricted and campused list. The main rumor around the terprising boys are trying to get a concession on the forestry plots and charge admission for its use. Since the lakes are out of bounds at night they would probably make a killing. The idea was conceived (so the rumor goes) last weekend when someone saw a crowd around the fish pond. Upon closer investigation the reason was seen. A young lady was doing back-bends on the edge of the pond. With shows like this who would deny that admission should not be paid. * * * For a small fee the foregoing young lady's name will be withheld from the next issue. * * * "I'll stand on my head or bust".

By Alpha Phi Omega By Alpha Phi Omega 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. Smiles and Great Men By BABs Contributed: him."

We are the most important. It's 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.

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 getting from Ag Hill to Room at the Churcn. Minister, the Rev. Hoyt A.

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, and the clock on the tower and Smoe and Saturday Quizzes, and a lot of good things, and some not so; good, but the easiest way to define it is a 6-letter word— Auburn. 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.

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!!!!

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. FREE!!

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." THE I Now in 40th Year !

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 . . .

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.

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.

MICROFILM OF BOOKS FOR NEW PROJECTOR BOUGHT BY LIBRARY Research facilities of the main library now include a Recordak film projector.

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.

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. "We appreciate the cooperation that has been given to the college by the townspeople of 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." The CASINO Vi Mile Out on Montgomery Hiway OPEN DAILY Auburn's y\2 noon til 12 mid-nite Only Drive-In my home state for part of my education." She is intensely interested 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.

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 * * * * By Irene Marchman 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 Thz Plaindmcuv Published weekly by the students of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

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." Poll of Opinion If Junior failed algebra, what subject did Prof teach? 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. . - " Sp "p •!» /' 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 (Continued on page 5) FOOTPRINTS By Byrd Lee Flash! Sara Goodson wants a motor scooter. As soon as she finds one she will probably try and get a sniperscope which will enable her to see through the darkness. With this new equipment she will be able to do even a bitter job as president of WSGA. In fact if she worked real hard she could probably double her restricted and campused list. The main rumor around the terprising boys are trying to get a concession on the forestry plots and charge admission for its use. Since the lakes are out of bounds at night they would probably make a killing. The idea was conceived (so the rumor goes) last weekend when someone saw a crowd around the fish pond. Upon closer investigation the reason was seen. A young lady was doing back-bends on the edge of the pond. With shows like this who would deny that admission should not be paid. * * * For a small fee the foregoing young lady's name will be withheld from the next issue. * * * "I'll stand on my head or bust".

By Alpha Phi Omega By Alpha Phi Omega 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. Smiles and Great Men By BABs Contributed: him."

We are the most important. It's 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.

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 getting from Ag Hill to Room at the Churcn. Minister, the Rev. Hoyt A.

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, and the clock on the tower and Smoe and Saturday Quizzes, and a lot of good things, and some not so; good, but the easiest way to define it is a 6-letter word— Auburn. 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.

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!!!!

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. FREE!!

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." THE I Now in 40th Year !

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 . . .

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.

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.

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.
