For Disciplinary Seat
Committee Calls For Equal Representation"
Following Complaint, Survey Of Campuses
A resolution asking "that students have equal representa­tion
with the faculty on Disciplinary Board" was sent to Dr.
David W. Mullins, chairman of the Auburn Disciplinary Board
by the Student Relations Committee Monday afternoon. Bob
Vann, chairman of the' Student Relations Committee, an­nounced
the release of the resolution.
In asking for equal representa­tion
on the Disciplinary Board,
the committee asked to have three
student members on the board
with full membership privileges.
Under the present setup the board
is composed of only, three faculty
members. •
Complaint Made
The resolution pointed out that
i^a complaint of the present man­ner
in which disciplinary cases
(men) are handled prompted an
investigation by the Student Re­lations
Committee of the arrange­ments
on other campuses. After
making this survey the committee
"agrees that there is a need for
improving the handling of- men's
disciplinary cases" on the Auburn
campus.
Vann stated in a letter to
Chairman Mullins that the com­mittee
would appreciate prompt
attention in the matter and "noti­fication
of any action taken."
The committee also recom­mended
a method whereby the
.three students could be selected
for membership to the disciplin­ary
g r o u p under the proposed
plan.

Emily Kimbrough
To Speak Here
By Gene Moore
Emily Kimbrough, well-known
-aconteuse and author of several
oest-sellers, will speak at 8:15
Monday night, April 3, in the stu­dent
activities building. Miss
Kimbrough, who will appear here
under the sponsorship of the Con­cert
and Lecture Series, will pre­sent
the talk "It Gives Me Great
Pleasure.".
The acclaim which she received
forTner first book, "Our Hearts
Were Young and Gay," written in
collaboration with her life-long
friend, Cornelia Otis Skinner, led
Miss Kimbrough to Hollywood,
where she served as technical ad­visor
during the filming of the
picture which was based on her
book. From her experiences there
grew "We Followed Our Hearts
to Hollywood," which was also
co-authored with Miss Skinner,
and a successful motion picture
writing career.
Muncie, Indiana, her birth­place,
is the setting for "How
Dear to My Heart," her book of
childhood reminiscences. Miss
Kimbrough—or Mrs. Wrench, as
she is in private life—was editor
of Fashions Of The Home for the
Marshall Field Company, then
joined the Ladies Home Journal
as fashion, editor.
Later she became managing
editor of the Journal, a post she
resigned to become the mother of
twin daughters, whom she named
A and B. In addition, she is a fre­quent
contributor of articles to
the New Yorker, Atlantic Mon­thly,
Home and Garden, and other
leading magazines.
The lecture, "It Gives Me Great
Pleasure," interspersed with anec­dotes
and Miss Kimbrough's uni­que
type of wit, concerns her fur­ther
adventures. It includes the
stories of the unusual extra-cur­ricular
incidents and mishaps of
her life and career.
Emily Kimbrough is a public
speaker who follows her own
maxims: she firmly maintains that
the chances of success in any
work arc in direct ratio to the
fun there is in it.
Students will be admitted to
the lecture free upon presentation
of their student activities cards.

at the office of the -Director of
Student Affairs at $1.

Executive Cabinet Releases Plans
For Proposed Union Building Here
By Jimmy Everett
Plans are underway for a Union Building here at Auburn,
it was announced today by the Student Executive Cabinet.
An introductory report by the Union Building Committee
was released to The Plainsman this week.
In the complete 15 page report by the committee, the
need for a Union Building was
presented and contained suggested
plans for the financing and con­struction
of the building. What the
building will contain and propos­ed
financial plans will be given in
later articles.
The report points out the lack
of adequate lounging facilities and
game or reading rooms on the
campus, and the need for a better
college-sponsored snack bar, cafe­teria,
and book store was given.
Auburn is one of the few univer­sities
in the nation today that does
not have a Union Building.
Such schools as Michigan State
College with a 1 \z million dollar
structure supply the recreational
needs for the student body and
furnish space for all types of stu­dent
activities. T h e s e Union
Buildings also provide service
units for the students in the
forms of bookstores, cafeterias,
branch post offices, check rooms,
and barber shops.
The Cabinet has applied for
membership in the Association of
College Unions, which is an orga­nization
that gives an opportunity
for unions to co-operate in ad­vancing
their common interests,
and to assist in the development
of new college unions. The Asso­ciation
offers an Architectural
Planning Service, a Handbook on
Colleges, and a Photographic Ex­hibition
of Union Buildings, plus
a quarterly bulletin containing
news of all unions.
Members of the committee have
met with the administration and
other groups on the campus and
the idea was received with great
enthusiasm.
In a summary fff the need for
a union structure, the committee
pointed out that it is hoped that
the next building raised on the
campus would be a Union Build­ing.
City Reveals Plan
For Traffic Control
The Auburn City Commission
this week instituted a new plan
for traffic control on congested
streets, Bob Windham, student
representative to the commission,
revealed.
The program calls for the form­ing
of two lanes of traffic going
south on College Street and west
on Magnolia at busy morning
hours. Results of a survey pointed
to these areas as most congested,
mainly at 8 a.m.
The commission expressed hope
that drivers would adopt the pro-"
posed procedure voluntarily, in
order that lines and directions
would not have to be painted on
the streets.
Windham also called attention
to the new street markers which
have been installed on all corners
in town. He expressed the belief'
that the signs would be valuable
to new students, returning alum­ni
and visitors in locating streets.

Chemistry have been placed on

president of the Auburn
Review Club.
The anniversary issue will con­tain
more student material than
any previous issue of the maga­zine.
.
The eight short .stories and
prose compositions being pub­lished
were written by students.
Those include "The Cat, the Rat,
and the Cheese^" by Robert J.
Tschisgo, the story of a young
mouse who thought she had a cat
fooled, but found out differently,
"Wheels of Fortune," by Vance
Wheeler, describing the feelings
of a famous stock car racer just

Sigma Pi Sigma Group To Be Installed
Here On April 5 By Three Man Team
i The installation of an Auburn chapter of Sigma Pi Sigma,
national physics honor society, will be held in Duncan Hall
auditorium at 2:30 p.m. on April 5. The national society re­cently
accepted the petition of Sigma Xi society at Auburn.
A visiting installation team h e a d e d by Dr. Marsh W.
White, national executive secre­tary
of the society, will handle the
ceremonies. Dr. White will have
Dr. D. R. McMillan, Jr., professor
of physics at Pennsylvania State
College, and Dr. E. H. Dixon, head
of . the physics department at
Emory University, to help in the
installation.
Sigma Pi Sigma was founded
in 1921 at Davidson College,
Davidson, N. C. The society now
has 71 chapters in many leading
universities and colleges in the
country. At present the member­ship
of the group is approximately
8,000.
The national society is an as­sociated
society of the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science and holds membership
in the Association of College Hon­or
Societies.
The objects of the society are:
"To serve as a means of award­ing
distinction to students having
high scholarship and promise of
achievement in physics; to pro­mote
student interest in research
and the advanced study of the
subject; to encourage a profes­sional
spirit and friendship among
those who - have displayed a
marked ability in physics, and to
popularize interest in physics in
the general collegiate public."
Charter members of the A.P.I,
chapter include:
Carl Harry Knowles, president;
H. Raymond Brannon, vice-pres­ident;
Frank G. Manley, secretary
-treasurer; William T. Achor,
William B. Ard, Jr., Joseph Reese

C. DeLoach, Bailey Lewis Don-nally,
James B. Dozier, Jr., James
J. Grovenstein, James D. Louck,
Richard I. Sudhoff, Arthur E.
Williamson, Jr., Ray Ledbetter,
and Dr. Howard E. Carr, faculty
advisor.
COLLEGE INSTALLS
NEW SWITCHBOARD
A new "two position" switch­board
has been installed to speed
telephone traffic to all college
telephones, replacing the "one
position" board which was over­taxed
by the steadily increasing
traffic since the end of the war.
With the installation completed,
two operators will be on duty
during the day, Mrs. Bessie Bai­ley
and Mrs. Virginia Alexander.
At night the board will be man­ned
by API student Dave Scobey
of Nashville, Tenn., an electrical
engineering major.
In addition to providing bet­ter
service, the new switchboard
is designed to make possible new
connections for the education and
architecture buildings now under
construction.
Installation of the switchboard
required a month's time and was
done by Western Electric per­sonnel.

Holds Exhibit
The importance of research to
progress in telephony was dram­atically
demonstrated to the Au­burn
chapter of the Institute of
Radio Engineers Monday night by
Frank A. Woods of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company.
Declaring that in the long run
scientific research effectively car­ried
forward results in more and
better service at less cost to the
customer, Woods cited several ex­amples
of Bell laboratories de­velopments
that have improved
telephone service and m a d e ' it
more economical.
Speaking on the subject, "Your
Telephone Voice of the Future,"
Woods demonstrated how hun­dreds
of long distance calls and
television programs can be trans­mitted
simultaneously from point
to p o i n t without intervening
wires, by means of the micro­wave
relay system. The new sys­tem
of long distance service, de­veloped
by t h e Bell Telephone
Laboratories, is a direct applica­tion
of the results of war-time
research to the purpose of peace,
Woods said.
Using miniature transmitter and
receiver towers similar to those
now in operation in the micro­wave
relay system between New
York and Boston, Woods showed
how these invisible radio waves
carrying the human voice can be
deflected, reflected, and made to
follow the curve of a hollow
"wave guide" like water through
a pipe. The new system of voice
transmission employs waves of
extreme shortness "narrow cast­ing"
them rather than "broadcast­ing"
them, as in the transmission
of radio programs.

Will Students Be Given A Voice?
A longrneeded and much desired reso­lution
asking for equal student representa­tion
on the college-Disciplinary Board was.
placed in the hai\ds of administration of­ficials
this week. The Student Relations
Committee, after a great, deal of study and,,
research, issued the statement to the chaiiv
man of the Board with a proposed plan
and a request for prompt action.
Under the proposed plan, students
would be given three places on the board;'
with each member entitled to regular
member privileges. The exact \ procedure
for filling the positions held by student's is.
listed in the resolution in today's Plaiins^
man. The student committee in asking Jor
equal representation made it. clear why
the students felt it necessary that action be
taken.
During the past few years the commit­tee
has been under fire. Because of actions
taken by the Board ia great deal of com­ment
was heard last year when seven stu­dents
were suspended for; their highly
publicized journey to Tuscaloosa. The big­gest
criticism in this and other cases has
been that students were not equally repre-sented.
If the administration would see fit to
give the student body a voice in decisions
ma'de by this, group a great deal of misun-i
derstanding,. would be removed. If three
students with,.full: voting privileges were
put on the committee to counterbalance
the administrative power, the doubt and
distrust which has existed in the past
would be removed.:
The Plainsman feels that students who
are tried for their behavior should face a
jury composed of students as well as fa<>
ulty members. As a result of the survey by
the student committee it was discovered
f
that most of the colleges in the South pro­vide
for equal student voting. Even on our
own campus, WSGA officials pass judge­ment
on all cases involving Auburn coeds.
We believe that equal student-faculty
representation is the best solution. Many
times questionable decisions handed down
by the Board have • resulted in bad pub­licity
for the institution. For the good of
the institution, administration officials
should take prompt action on this vital
matter. To place the matter in the .ever-present
red tape surrounding student de­mands
would be a failure to recognize stu­dent
opinions. .
Government Depends U pon Jnterest
1 5
Election time is here again!
Two weeks from tomorrow, the Auburn
students willgo to the polls to select new
student government and publication! offi-;
cials for the school year 1950-51, With the
announcement of plans for the elections
by the Political Activities Committee in
today's Plainsman, student politicians are
expected to go into a whirl of activity as
they seek support from Auburn's student
body of more than 6,000,
Publication candidates have already
been qualified and are busy preparing to
take their respective i causes before the
voters. With the announcement of qualifi­cation
information*today, it is to be hoped
that the student government elections will
also find a number of candidates entering
the race. With a student body composed
largely of non-veterans, interest in cam­pus
politics has become very noticeable in
the past year and we- hope that all those
interested in entering races in student gov­ernment
will do so.
In the past Auburn elections have been
characterized by a small number of candi­dates
seeking office and as a result a small
• . ..
number of votes being cast Students in
the past have failed to take interest in.
either qualifying for office or in voting in
the election. If student government does
not satisfy the students, then, they have
no one to blame but themselves. Each stu­dent
has the right to run or vote and when
they fail to/do so they weaken the right
of campus elections.
The Plainsman urges all interested stu­dents
to seek office in coming election. Jf
students would show real interest in cam­pus
elections they could strengthen the
power .of student government. A lazy, in­different
electorate will cause a lack of
interest by officials and students in all
phases of campus life.
We sincerely hope thai the coming elec­tion,
will not only cause a revival of cam­pus-
wide interest in student government
but will give the school an6ther strong
group of leaders for 1950-51. The Plains­man,
believes as did Grover Cleveland that
"a government for the people must depend
for its success on the intelligence, the mor­ality,
the justice, and the INTEREST of
the people themselves."
One of Auburn's Greatest Needs
As Auburn maintains its substantial
growth in enrollment and continues to ex­pand
its physical plant, the demand for
some type of student union building be­comes
more evident. With a student body
which still keeps the campus bulging in
enrollment figures favorably comparable
to early post-war days, the desperate need
for some stabilizing influence which' will
bring Auburn students closer together and
at the same time offer first-class oppor­tunities
which most other college cam­puses
in the country can afford is more
visible. The student union building offers
such a service.
Realizing the necessity for beginning
work immediately upon> the. possibility of
obtaining a union building here, the-Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet set up a committee
to investigate all possible solutions to the
problem and to draw up some plan where­by
work could begin on the project. This
three-man committee has recently com­pleted
its work by giving a report to the
Cabinet showing the need, purpose, possi­bilities
and plans for such a building at
Auburn.
The report of this committee has re­ceived
verbal approval from many mem­bers
of the administration as well as stu­dent
leaders. Havingjead the report care­fully,
we find that it gives a clear picture
of the needs for such a building here, as
well as a possible plan for the building of-a
union building in the very near-future."
The repprt seems to give much thought
and intelligent comment on all phases of
the investigation.
In order to acquaint the Auburn stu­dent
body with the many points which are,
brought out in this report, The Plainsman
is beginning in today's issue a series of
features dealing with the report of the
Student Union Building Committee. In
these features, The Plainsman will endea­vor
to show xthe finds of the committee.
In this way we hope to give all students a
thorough knowledge of the situation to
date.
The Plainsman feels that this is po­tentially
the most beneficial program that
the Student Executive Cabinet has under­taken
in the past three years. It has pos­sibilities
of rendering more service to the
college than any program ever carried out
by the Cabinet Because we feel that this
is a program which concerns every Au­burn
man or woman, student or old grad,
we feel that careful consideration must be
given to the report of the Student Union
Building Committee, and that prompt ac­tion
should be taken by those in authority.
Plain Talk By .he Editor Cannon Report

"Fast boy, but a lotto learn."
By Graham McTeer
"Thank God for Mississippi," we Alabamians have repeated
many times, often in jest, in recent years. It has been applied
on occasions when only the Delta State has been lower than
our own in numerous listings which shamed the state.
The hackneyed phrase is approaching loss of meaning,
if cases in the respective states'
courts can be considered any
standard of judging. In neighbor­ing
Mississippi, where the Negro
p o p u l a t i o n .overshadows th)e
white, a white man was convicted
for the slaying of a Negro youth
and sentenced to life impris­onment
(due to the jury's being
unable to agree on punishment.)
In nearby LaFayette, Ala., two
white police officers wsere acquit­ted
on an alleged, and strongly
supported, charge of_ beating a
coloEed youth to death, in the
same courtroom where, a day or
two before, a Negro had been
convicted of murdering a white,
the jury brushing aside the de­fense's
well-established claim of
self-defense.
And when the two protectors
of law were proclaimed to be in­nocent
by the justice-upholding
jury, the LaFayette courtroom
audience .burst into applause.
Life magazine is famous for,
among other things, printing pic­tures
and articles showing the

editorial comment, but
the facts, as presented, have spo­ken
for themselves.
But occasionally there has been
a completely fair, truthful, com­plimentary
presentation of this
section. Last year's photographic
essay of "The New South" by
Margaret Eourke-White is about
the best example of this.
But the one thing which Life,
has printed, although only two

Buttons, as almost everyone
knows, exist in a variety of sizes
and shapes, and they may be
made of.just about anything ima­ginable
except of course whipped
cream, creosote, rose petals, and
such substances which, while
they may be fine for other things,
are too pliant for use as button
structure. It is the purpose of the
following information to acquaint
the reader with some of the ad­vantages
and disadvantages of
the more common materials of
which buttons are composed.
Plastic buttons are becoming
ever more popular with modern
needleworkers, possibly because
of their tinctorial qualities. (Glit­tering,
brightly-colored objects
have always been found attract­ive
by Homo sapiens; even the
Piltown Man, uneducated as he
was, was fond of collecting small
shiny pebbles. It is believed by
many that he kept these pebbles
in a ciger box in the rear of his
cave, although why anyone would
want to do such a thing is a mys­tery
to me. However, some plas­tic
butons may melt if placed too
near a hot radiator or if the wear­er,
has excessively high fever.
Glass buttons, while fragile, are
not without their ardent support­ers.
A glass button, if properly
designed and of large enough size
may serve in emergency as a uni­focal

A speaker at Lehigh University
recently offered a noteworthy
commentary, on world problems
today. Although his viewpoint is
not the latest thing out, he did
give a clear picture of what a lot
of leaders are thinking today.
He considers the challenge of
the modern world a moral one,
and believes that the troubles of
the world are the result of an in­creasing
tendency of the peopde
to take a materialistic viewpoint
on life.
He continued that it is the spir­itual
side • of life which makes
man's existence on earth worth­while,
and that our education to­day
lacks this spiritual quality
necessary for solving world prob­lems.
The speaker stated that two*
ideologies face the world today:
one is materialism, which breeds
an individual who is self-center­ed,
and the. other Christianity,
which breeds the kind of people
that the world needs today.
Surely solution of the globe's
troubles would be nearer at hand
if men of today would adopt this
philosophy and "put it into prac­tice.

long time ago. However, since
wood is liable to flake, chip, or
even spit right in two, the pru­dent
wooden button-wearer will
carry a complete carpenter's tool
chest with him for on-the-spot
repairs.
Buttons made of bone are used
by certain tribes of Asiatic and
Arctic natives. We do not recom­mend
them, nonetheless, because
we fear rebuttal from, or out­right
disciplinary action on the
part of the Society for the Pre­vention
of Cruelty to Animals.
Metal buttons probably wear
better than any other kind, but
they have two definite disadvan­tages.
First, their hard surfaces
will scratch a highly polished
floor, if the wearer is dragged
across it face downward. Se­cond,
they endanger the life of
the wearer by serving as attfac-tors
for any stray lighting bolts
which may be bolting around. My
uncle once knew of a plumber
wh< always wore brass buttons
on his coat until one day, while
this plumber was on his way to
the church, the buttons were
struck by lightning. They brand­ed
thejnselves right into his skin,
and now he looks like a ginger­bread
man with three raisins
down his front.
Buttons have been sorely ne­glected
through the years by •
everyone except a few thoughtful
scongwriters, such as the com­posers
of "Buttons and Bows"
and "One, Two, Button My Shoe."
It is hoped that the civilized peo­ples
of the world may wake up
to the fact that buttons are the
most important, clothes fasteners
in the world, and that buttons
may take their rightful place in
those honored niches reserved for
the better things in life.
As the May 2 election date
draws nearer the simmering Ala­bama
political pot continues to
grow hotter and no doubt before
the last balloting on May 29 the
state will be a storm of interest­ing
politics. Most of the interest
over the state has been centered
on the gubernatorial race with
its 15 colorful candidates and
upon the fight for^the places on
the state Democratic Executive
Committee.
Interest is also unusually high
in the numerous Congressional
races, the lesser state office bat­tles,
and many local contests over
the state. Candidates for the first
time since I have been able to
follow state politics are being
forced to take a stand on all im­portant
issues.
With such controversial issues
as states' rights, Trumanism.
party loyalty, economy in govern­ment,
reappointment, and aboli­tion
of the poll tax staring them
in the face, many state politicians
who have in the past used the
platform—"I am FOR the home,
the mother, and the flag and
AGAINST sin"—are being push­ed
out in the open.
This is indeed a very- healthy
situation. It not only brings out
those political bigots who are
merely swayed by public opinion,
but it gives the public a real op­portunity
to form a definite opin­ion.
The most widely discussed issue
in the present campaign seems to
be that of party loyalty. The
Dixiecrat element in the state
maintains that unless the National
Democratic party charges its pre­sent
policies, the state should
withdraw. On the other hand, the
"loyalist" group say that wo
should stay within the party and
fight out the differences. Both .
sides present very interesting ar­guments
which should be care­fully
studied by all voters.
Since the'Auburn campus con­tains
well over 2000 possible vot­ers
I think that it would be an
excellent work if an interested
- organization or group on the cam­pus
would bring noted speakers
from both the Dixiecrat and the
"loyalist" groups to the campus
to debate the issue.
Since both Senators Hill and
Sparkman are coming back to the
state next month to fight for
party loyalty, I feel sure t h at
they would be glad to appear be­fore
the group. Likewise, the
Dixi'ecrats would probably be
glad to place such States' Right-ers
as Abernathy. McCorvey, or
Wilkinson on the stage against
them.
A debate between leaders« of
both groups with no decision
handed down as to the. outcome
of the discussion would prove
both interesting and beneficial to
Auburn voters. Some campus
group should investigate the pos­sibilities
of holding such a pro­gram
on. the campus in the near
future.
Enlightenment on all issues is
needed over the state. The poli­cies
of most of the state news-v
papers do not give the voters a
true picture of the situation.
Clarification of these vital issues
could mean a w e 11-infoimed,
thinking electorate voting on May
2.
So how about^ it politicians?
Auburn eagerly awaits enlight-nment
on all important state
problems and issues.
Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
It seems that Auburn students
took advantage of the between-quarters
holidays in a variety of
ways; or so the Wednesday night
bull sessions would have us be­lieve.
Going on the assumption
that fiction is stranger than truth,
there were some artistic anec­dotes
told of holiday happenings.
One guy went leopard-hunting
out in Oklahoma and had a most
harrowing experience. Seems he
saw a little of everything except
leopards, the original object of
his safari. Gel-ting
up early
one morning, he
even s h o t a
bear in his pa­jamas.
How the
bear ever got in
his pajamas Til
never know.
Anyway, h e
was out stalk­ing
spotted ani­mals
when 'he
just happened
saw that there
were about 50 lions* on his right
side. A hasty sidewise glance dis­closed
50 more on his left. In his
own words, this is what transpir­ed:
"At first, I was scared as a peo­ple-
toed pigeon at a badminton
game, but I soon composed' my­self.
Then, with great presence
of mind, I took out a newspaper
and began to read."
When I asked him why he did
this, he replied, "Oh, I was al­ways
a great one to read between
the lions."
Another student, Paul Practice
Greenhill
to look up and
by name, had a date every night.
He met a girl named Perfect.
Another fellow made an exten­sive
study of the possibilities of
inflation. Seems that he had a
job with Spalding blowing up
footballs next fall.
Another wrote a play about
Paul Revere. Here's an excerpt
from it:
Paul: (To lady of house) "Js
your husband home?"
Lady: "Yes."
Paul: "Tell him to get up. The
British are coming."
(Paul rides to next house)
Paul: (To lady of house) "Is
your husband home."
Lady: "Yes."
Paul: "Tell him to get up. The
British are coming."
(Paul rides to next house)
Paul: (To Lady of house) "Is
your husband home?"
Lady: "No."
Paul: "Whoa, horse!"

I know everyone will be sad­dened
to hear that Kate Lee, of
Hague, Va., Dorm 3 and the
Grille, is planning to leave Au­burn
after this quarter to attend
Randolph Macon. Charming, witty,
intelligent, cute, (To use a few
of the superlatives that might be
applied to her) Kate will leave a
lot of friends here in the LVOTP.
As a brighter note, I hear that
another Lee of Virginia, one
Edith Lee from Norfolk, (no kin
to our Kate) will enroll here in
the fall. -
I guess this just goes to prove
that we can't have our Kate and
Edith too.
Letter To The Editor
Dear Mr. Editor:
In the March 8 issue of The
Plainsman . there appeared the
most asinine editorial I have ever
had the misfortune to read. The
editorial, "A Contrast Among
Students" was reprinted from the
L.S.U. Daily Reville, it was a sor­ry
example of the half-baked
thoughts of a pseudo-thinker.
That little article appeared to
be an attempt to apologize to
German students for the situation
which they find themselves in,
and at the same time degrade
American students by accusing
them of being a bunch of happy-go-
lucky, addle-brained, loafers.
The German students have only
themselves and their countrymen
to blame for the situation they
are in.
The Germans had fine univer­sities
until they attempted to con­quer
the other peoples of the
world. That the Nazis failed in
their attempt to control the
world, and that their own self­ishness
brough destruction down
on Berlin should be no cause for
us to shed tears over the trials
and tribulations of German stu­dents.
In a vain effort to be melodra­matic,
the. author of the editorial
writes of the German students,
"The main idea is that for a few
gay hours it will be eaiser to for­get
what happened a few years
ago when they were younger and
gayer and should have been hav­ing
a good time in college." There
are still quite a number of stu­dents
in Auburn and other
- schools over the country that'
this" could apply to just as well.
Instead the author writes of the
American students, "The main
thing is that for a few gay hours
they can put off writing that
term paper or finishing that
chapter." Why this condemnation
of American students? Does the
author feel guilty of) the fact that
our way of life has enabled us to
'have universities housed in fine
buildings and that the students of
these universities are able to
enjoy good meals and sleep in
comfortable quarters?
No doubt those Berlin students
are sincere in their efforts to get
an education under such condi­tions,
but they have no monopoly
on sincerity; the great majority
of American students are in
(Continued on page 8)
For the past several years,
students at ^Auburn have b e en
clamoring to have the name of
the school changed to include the
word "university." It seems, how­ever,
that before we can make
any progress in this direction we
must at least acquire the physi­cal
attitudes that the name im­plies.
One of the most common char­acteristics
of any university is a
u n i o n build­ing.
A struc-t
u i ' e of this
type s h o u ld
contain a book
s t o r e , s o da
shop, bowling
alleys, swimm­ing
pool, cafe-t
e r i a, dining
r o o m, game
rooms, library,
Cannon • ar>d offices for
the alumni as­sociation,
student publications,
and student government associa­tion.
A large number of students
here use the Student Center
every day. With a centrally lo­cated
student union building, fa­cilities
could be provided for a
far greater section of the student
body. At the same time, a wider
variety of activities could be
provided.
Attempts have been made, with
no success.' to get the state legis­lature
to appropriate money for
the construction of a union. The
lawmakers contend that they can­not
set aside funds for recrea­tional
purposes when we need
classroom buildings so badly.
Although the state will not pro­vide
us with money, we could
have a union building through
our own efforts. For the past two
quarters, a committee .for the
Student Executive Cabinet has
been studying the possibility of
obtaining a student union here.
Through the co-operation of the
faculty, a good start has. already
been made. Now it is up to us
to raise additional funds. Several
methods for doing this have been
suggested, but they will require
the whole-hearted support of the
student body.
Students at Auburn can have a
union building in the near fu­ture
if they will expend the nec-cessary
effort.

A University of Kansas survey
shows that five out of six stu­dents
turn their heads to the
right while kissing. Supposed to
prove that the automobile had
changed American kissing style,
the survey flopped (on . that
score).
Miss Joan Home, pollster, said
many interviewees had to close
their eyes and figure it out by
nodding from side to side. A few
men were so befuddled they
placed their hands on Miss
Home's shoulders to gain the
proper perspective. "Only one

Tiger Nine To Meet Mercer Bears Here
A! 3 P.M. Friday On New Diamond:
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Auburn baseball for 1950 gets underway Friday afternoon
at ,3:15.with the Tigers facing the Mercer College Bears. The
Plainsmen, after a won 2-lost 2 record for their initial road
trip, will play the first game on the new baseball diamond
located to the south of Cliff Hare Stadium. The teams will
meet Saturday in Macon, On. lor
the second game. /
Radio station WAUD will
broadcast all Auburn home
baseball games this^season.
Coach J o h n n y Williamson
stated that he was well pleased
with the showing made on the
road trip. "The boys really hust­led
all the way, and they showed
the kind of spirit that's bound to
win us some ball games. Hitting
was good and the sophomore pit­chers
show a lot ol promise," said
the Tiger coach.
The Plainsmen took a 6-4 game
from Tampa in the season's open­er
on March 20 and followed
this win with a 16-1 trouncing of
Florida Southern College in Bar-
.tow, Fla-. Gainesville proved the
Tiger's Waterloo Friday as the
Florida 'Gators eked out a thrill­ing
7-6 victory over the Plains­men.
The final of the two-game
» set was a slow,/lopsided affair in
which the Floridans capitalized on
10 Auburn errors to rout the
Plainsmen 14-4.
Webb Leads Tigers
Captain Dick Webb, hustling
second baseman for coach Wil­liamson's,
nine, was the sparkplug
of the Florida trip with his fine
field play and stickwork. Dick
made 11 hits out of 21 tries at bat.
Big Bill LetchvJorth, of Sebas­tian,
Fla., last year's leading hur-ler
with four wins and one loss,
is slated for mound duty in Fri^
day's game. Bill Tucker will han­dle
catching duties. Gene Hoehle,
sophomore hurler from Memphis.
Tenn., or Hubert Finlayson will
hurl for the Tigers in Saturday's
return encounter in Macon, Ga.
Bill Fleming will probably be his
battery mate.
Veteran Starters
Starting lineup for the Tigers
will show Letchworth on the
mound and Tucker catching;
Charlie Gilbert at first; Dic,k
Webb at 'the keystone; Harvey
Camp at short stop; and Ray Dean
at the hot corner. In the outfield
Julian Mock in left, Dan Gilmore
in center, and Joe Sterling in right
field.
Little is known of the Mercer
nine. The Plainsmen won by a
4-1 margin in the lone game with
the Georgia team last year.
Following the 2-game-series
with Mercer, the Tigers .will be
idle until Wednesday, April 5,
when they meet the Opelika Owls
on the Pepperell diamond.
DICK WEBB
Auburn
CAPTAIN DICK WEBB, sec­ond
baseman for the 1950 Tiger
nine, was the sparkplug of the
team's Florida road trip. Dick
hails from Birmingham, bats
and throws right handed. He
hit at a .524 clip in the first
four games.

Arnold Umbach, Auburn wrestling coach, selected Dan Mantrone
to compete in this year's National Intercollegiate Wrestling Meet in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The choice of Mantrone was a sound one, as
the stocky New York senior was victorious in every match during the
Tigers' 1950 season.
Competing in the 175-pound class, Mantrone met the best in col­lege
grapplers an last week's national meet and won fourth-place
honors. In his first two matches, Mantrone defeated Thomas of Iowa
State, 2-1, and won by the referee's decision over Reese of Nebraska.
Reese was the Big Seven champ this year.
In the semi-finals, Dan lost, 3-1, to Syracuse's Gebhardt, Eastern
intercollegiate champ. In the consolation match,' Mantrone beat Long
of Iowa State Teachers, 2-1, and in the semi-finals Saturday night he
lost by referee's decision to Vohaska of Illinois. This decision,, giving
Mantrone fourth place and Vohaska, third, was called the most un­popular
of the meet with spectators. The Auburn star had forced
the issue throughout the bout and was much more aggressive.
Mantrone will compete in the National AAU tournament in Hemps-ted,
Long Island, this week end, before returning here.
AUBURN TRACKMEN TO ENCOUNTER
MISSISSIPPI STATE TEAM SATURDAY
By Tom Duke
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Auburn trackmen will hold then-first
dual meet of the 1950 season on Saturday afternoon
when they tangle with the Mississippi State team at 3 in Cliff
Hare Stadium. Saturday's meet will be the second of the
nine meet schedule for the Tigers.
The Tigers opened the season
Jack DeMedicis, veteran hurdler,
appears the hest timber topper on
the squad.
Jim Bailey, discus and shot pot
artist; Bob Talmadge, javelin and
high jump; Jim Ryckeley, discus
and shot put; Jim Stookey, broad
jump, John Jones, high jump; Ed
Bauer, shot put and discus, and
Alan Parks, pole vault will be the
Tigers most dependable perform­ers
in the field events.
After the meet with State Sat­urday

Southern Relays to be held in Bir­mingham
on April 8. The next
home engagement is with Georgia

last week when they entered the
annual Florida Relays at Gaines­ville,
Fla. The only points the Ti­gers
were able to tally in the
Florida/ meet were' confined to
three events.
With Capt. Whitey Overton

medley relay team—Dick
Flournoy, quarter-miler, Jimmy
Mitchell half-miler, and Tommy
Steele three-quarter miler, and
Overton miler — finished first.
This was the only event the Ti­gers
won in. the meet and the
time for the event was 10:44.7.
Auburn also finished second in
the two mile relay, second in the
440 yard relay, anH Tigers Jimmy
Walker and Chauncey Wood, fi­nished
second and third respec­tively.

meet, entered 11 men in the meet, j

Coach Hutsell's well-trained I
harriers seem to be, very strong in
dash and distance events this year.;
Field events are definitely the j
weak spot of the team as few ex­perienced
men are on hand this
season.
In the distance races Hutsell
can count on Overton, defending
mile and two mile SEC champ,
Mitchell and Steele. In the sprints
Wood, Walker and Bill Davis look
good.
In the 880 and 440 yard runs the
Tigers have Flournoy, defending
conference champ, Mitchell, and
Jim Beasley to carry the load.

23-Inch Man Survives Saucer Mishap;
Crash Creates Cataclysmic Confusion
Educational activities were temporarily* d i s r u p t e d j e s t e r -
day by the crashing of one of the fabled flying saucers in
Moss Square. The strange craft, piloted by two diminutive
men approximately 23 inches tall, narrowly missed hitting
Shamford Tower and crashed into a convertible.
Students and instructors alike a n d 2 4 i n c h e s h i g h Geiger-coun-abandoned
lectures and hastened
to the scene of the accident. Half
of the saucer's crew met his un­timely
demise in the mishap and

and no trace of activity was
found.

City To Cover
Parking Meters
With Paper Bags
Awburn's famed parking meters
will be covered with paper bags
for the remainder of the school
year, it was announced last night
at the annual meeting of officials
of the city's government.
The reason for this unexpected
action, as given by one of the
administrators, is "There is so
much money pouring into Aw­burn's
City Treasure now that
we just don't know what to do
with it all. We paved Collitch
Street with gold, thereby expend­ing
a small part of the surplus
funds, but now that that job is
completed, we'll have to burn the
excess cash."
Student volunteers are needed
to carry money from the City
Treasury Building to the Flea
County incinerators. Those stu­dents
willing to donate their ser­vices
are requested to report to
Crooner's Corner tomorrow at
midnight. Glazed coffee and hot
black dbnuts will be served to the
workers.
to a place on the A.P.I. Board of
Trustys."
When finally released from
questioning, the small man was
asked to comment on his appoint­ment.
His only statement was,

Trench Mouthski
The flag is flying at half-mast
today for the members 'of Aw­burn's
swimming team, who were
•drowned during practice late last
night.
Shark Tarbrough, sole survivor
of the mishap, was still sobbing
this morning. "It was terrible,"
he blubbered. "The boys, bless
their little hearts, were playing
Paddleball and Wadey-Splash in
the kiddies' end of the pool, where
practice is always held, when sud­denly
little Snitchard Fan Trike
hollered, 'Looky. Looky!'
"Everybody lookied, and there
in the deep end of the pool—."
Here young Tarbrough was over­come
with emotion, but after
several minutes of violent moan­ing
and trembling he went on:
"There in the deep end of the
pool was a blue-haired mermaid,
beckoning with her dorsal fin.
"Before I knew what was hap­pening
Gill Stunflap was wading
down toward the finny creature.
All the other boys followed him,
and when they got out into the
deep water, the waves rushed
over their heads with a ghastly
ghurgle. They were never seen
again. That mermaid was cer­tainly
an enticing young cutie. I
would have gone after her my­self,
but my hair was in curlers
and I couldn't afford to get it
wet."

Beam Of Wimmen
Releases Edict
The most astounding bulletin of
the,year was released by Beam
of Wimmen, Kitty Katter yester­day.
It was none too well received
by Awburn men and women etc.
It said in p a r t , "The Beam of
Wimmen is going to stop all neck­ing
on the kampus."
Acting as spokeswoman for
Awburn students, Shocking Jones,
President of the Wimmen's Sy­rian
Goat Association, said, "The
next thing you know, she'll be
making us stop."
The bulletin w e n t on to say
"Henceforth, wimmen will shrink
from kissing." Miss Jones refuted
this by saying, "We're never
shrunk-from kissing before—if we
had, we'd all be skin and bones."
The last part of the edict was
answered by Karo Menengitis,
Leader of the Innerfraterinary
Cancel. The edict read, "In view
of the current and undersirable
tendency for wimmen to w e ar
bluejeans, jodphurs and the like
this office hereby rules that wim­men
will not wear pants to frater-inary
functions."
Menengitis answered, "On be­half
of the Awburn fraterinajry
men, thank you Beam Katter!"
a f u l l y - a c c r e d i t e d journalism

Boozie Elbert Takes Coaching Reins*
»
All Awburn was shocked todaj to learn that Head Foot-bawl
Coach Oil Brawn has resigned, He has be^n replaced
by Boozie Elbert, staunch Awburn supporter who will as­sume
his duties after May 2. Brawn, who succeeded. Coil
Varls in January. 1948, severed all bow ties with Awburn last
night as a result of a swap be­tween
the Universimous of Ab­lammy
and A.P.I.
Under the terms of the trade,
Brawn w i l l go to Blammy as
Head Coach in return for Dennis
Chimes and halfback Ned Sla­yem.
Details of the swap were
worked out in a shack in Oak
Grove. Bull Flimflam represent­ed
Awburn and Tim CalveTt
bartered for Blammy.
In a press release today, Athle­tic
Director Wilmer Huttsutt stat­ed,
"Brawn will be sorely missed
but we sincerely feel that Boozie
Elbert will be a capable replace­ment.
He is a fervent follower of
Awburn football fortunes in fact,
his account of the Awburn-Blam-my
game of 1949 was quoted in
all the state papers and even in
national magazines. Among the
innovations Boozie plans to in­stall
during his segime is a dress­ing
room on wheels."
Brawn w i l l replace Pinkie
Draw at t h e Universimous.
Draw recently resigned the coach­ing
post at the Capstown to take
over as head Pinbawl Coach at
Yoohoo U. Assisting Brawn will
be Lyin Coach Zpop Newnan.
Brawn, in discussing his new
job, said, "I aim looking forward
to coaching at Blammy. Why? I
don't know!"
With his cherubic face beam­ing,
Boozie Elbert commented,
"After almost beating Blammy
last December, only to lose, I
guess Oil Brawn just decided that
if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

who resigned under pressure, said,

September, 1950. The proposal
was .strongly opposed by Aye

on the first vote.
The second change provides for
the building of college-financed
sorority houses, to be constructed
on the site now occupied by
Shamford Hall, Moss Chemistry

will be petitioned to install

or did he just want some­thing
to write about. »
Sincerely,
Lealoh Carol Wimpee
Suite 1613
205 East 42nd Street
New York 17, N. Y.
March 9, 1950
Dear Sir:
I am touring American colleges
and universities in the interest of
the struggle to maintain and ex­tend
academic freedom and
would appreciate an opportunity
to speak before a group at your
institution.
I am one of the three profes­sors
recently dismissed from the
faculty of the University of
Washington where I had taught
in the department of philosophy
for 19 years. The ground for my
dismissal was my present ack­nowledged
membership in the
Communist Party of the United
States.
From the experiences I have
had appearing before college aud­iences
I am convinced.that Ameri­can
students welcome the oppor­tunity
of hearing ,and cross-ques­tioning"
a Communist professor.
Increasingly apprehensive over
the growing threat to democratic
institutions implicit in the anti-communist
drive, the student
realizes the necessity for clarity
on the central issue.
Attention should be called to
the forum or debate type of
meeting. If a local speaker can
be obtained who will take the
negative side of the question,
"Should a Member of the Com­munist
Party be Permitted to
Teach in an American College?",
my experience has shown that a
large audience will turn out and
the usual objection to allowing a
Communist to speak is overcome.
I am including some items that
may be useful for publicity pur­poses.
I would greatly apprecate your
printing this letter in your paper,
or helping in any other way to
publicize the fact that I am open
for speaking engagements before
student or faculty group's. Mu­tually
convenient dates for the
month of April may be arranged
by communicating with the ad­dress
above.
Respectfully,
