C. Hoe-pfner, Auburn,' as Aegus; Cecil An Editorial The greatest problem facing the Auburn student body today is the acquisition of a Union Building. In the past six issues of The Plainsman we have carried detail reports on the findings of Union Committee in investigating the possibility, showing the necessity, and stating the purpose of such a building on the Auburn campus. Through these reports we have endeavored to acquaint the Auburn student body with the report of the committee and with the progress made in regards to the Union Building project. The purpose of the report of the Building Committee and of The Plainsman in publishing this report was to give a detailed plan on the project and to inform the students on all phases of the project. We do not feel it necessary to go into the report itself IJO point out the definite need for a Union Building on the Auburn campus. Neither do we feel that it is jiecessary to point out again the finding qf the committee. i Through the articles carried in The Plainsman as well as the. editorial comment upon the matter, the Auburn students have been given an opportunity to learn first hand the need, plans, and purpose of a Union Building. It goes without saying that the need for a Union Building on the Auburn campus is the greatest problem facing the Auburn student body in the past two decades. Student leaders have worked long and hard in drawing up the the present plans. They have consulted all proper college officials and they have sought out student opinion. It is now up to the student body to take action—swift action. A door for swift action has been opened by the Student Executive Cabinet. • At a meeting yesterday the Cabinet approved a measure calling for a referendum of the student body which states: "Thai the student activity fee be increased a maximum of $2 for the purpose of constructing a Union Building. This increase shall not become effective earlier than two years before construction is begun on the building and the increase in the fee shall be removed when the building is paid for." The motion also called for a student vote on May 25. Therefore, the matter of whether students are willing to approve of this sound plan so that the Board of Trustees may take action at their next meeting will be decided very soon. The Plainsman urges all students to study the plan of the Union Building Committee and to talk with members of the committee and the Cabinet. Students should have all 'questionable matters cleared up before voting. The Plainsman will do everything possible to give complete information on the project in next week's issue. Glomerata Distribution Will Begin Tomorrow Students To Vote On Raising Activity Fee On May 15; Ring Committee Revised '* u - n £ ' - A motion calling for a referendum on the question'of revising the student activity fee in order to support a Union Building was passed at a meeting of the Student Executive Cabinet yesterday. Also the motion called for student vote on' Thursday, May 25. Gilmer Blackburn, senior representative, made the motion which stated the referendum question as follows: "That the student activity fee be increased a maximum of $2 for the purpose of constructing a Union Building. This increase shall not become effective earlier than two years before construction is begun on the building and the increase in the fee shall be removed when the building is paid for." Ring Committee Also adopted at yesterday's meeting was the motion for a change in the Regulations of Permanent Committee of, the Executive Cabinet in regards to the chairmanship and members of the Ring Committee. The Cabinet voted to make one of the three senior representatives chairman of the Ring Committe and to Trantham, Gallion, Hurley Riley, Auburn, John Grimm, Montgom-ary, and Fred Halbig, Baldwin, N.Y., as four soldiers. In addition, Bill Stirling, Auburn, Stephen Malone, Auburn, Jean Ramsey, Atlanta, Ga., Jackie Fridge, Mobile, Love Cason, Birmingham, and Ruth Ogden, Auburn, will appear in the play. This is the last time that Hazel Riley and Carol Dorrough will" appear with the Players. Both have starred in many recent plays. In case of rain any one- night, one showing of "Medea" will be omitted. If it rains two . of the three nights, the play will be presented again Saturday, May 20. Admission is free to all students and 25 cents for all others. Two Religious Films To Be Shown Here Two films, "The Sickle or the Cross" and "The Life of St. Paul," will be presented on campus by the Student Council on Religious Activities. A little over an hour in length, 'The Sickle or the Cross" is rated one of the best religious films of 1949'. It received an award from a committee headed by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as the best film upholding American democracy. Produced by the Lutheran Layman's League, the picture tells the story of a Communist who comes to the United States as a fifth columnist and is converted to Christianity during his stay here. " The film will be shown in Langdon Hall Thursday, May 18, at 4 p.m. The 'second motion picture, "The Life of St. Paul," will be presented in Broun Hall Auditorium Monday, May 22, at 4 p.m. Taken almost verbatim from the Book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul,, the film was produced by J. Arthur Rank. All students, faculty members and townspeople are invited by the Student Council on Religious Activities to attend the presentations. make membership on the committee open to any member of the student body. Prior to the change yesterday the vice-president of the Cabinet, a junior, had served as chairman of the committee with five other committeemen being members of the senior class. Blackburn, in asking for a referendum on the matter of raising the student activity fee, pointed out that if the students give their approval to the plan, then college authorities will be able to ntove swifter in asking the Board of Trustees to get the Union Building project underway. He urged all students to study with care the reports of the Union Building Committee and to have all matters on the project cleared up before voting. "Without a doubt," he continued, "our greatest need on the Auburn campus today is the Union Building. If the students approve of the financial plan which we have drawn up, then college officials can move swiftly towards getting the building on the campus," he stated. Blackburn also pointed out the need and purpose of such a building. He stated that the hike in the student activity fee w o u ld amount to a very few cents a day in building a project that could mean "so much to the Auburn students."

"World of Illusion: Elements of Stage Design," is being shown until May 27 in the School of Architecture and Arts Gallery. Sponsored by New York City's Museum of Modern Art, the ex-hibiton presents a visual analysis of the essential components of stage design. The 10 individually lighted models, built in miniature, demonstrate the different forms of scenic art in adaptions from original settings by Edward Bulla, Leopold Survage, Fernand Leger, and George Braque, which were first shown in London, Paris, Monte Carlo, Darnstadt and other European cities. Seventeen panels of photo- j graphs and five separate enlargements of the work of outstanding scenic artists illustrate the basic elements of stage design—contour, light, color and volume.

Since his a r r i v a l in A u b u r n in 1945, J o e has t r a i n e d successive editors and Plainsman staff members in the work of assembling the publication. In a fast six hours each week, he made up The Plainsman and during the remainder of his ime made up two Bulletins weekly and the Alum-news monthly. In the process of working with The Plainsman staff, Joe had the opportunity to pull many of his favorite jokes and exhibit his good sense of humor. Early Start Smearing the printer's ink at an early age, Joe first worked after school for the old LaGrange Graphic, one of the oldest newspapers in LaGrange, Ga., where he was born. After graduating from high school, he continued to work with the Graphic, which soon consolidated with two other papers into the Daily News. While working with the News, Joe had the opportunity to study the Clarion, LaGrange H i gh School paper, and the publication of the LaGrange College for Women, which were then printed by the rfews. It was there that Joe recalls his first contact with student journalists. Later he worked with various publishers in West Point, Roanoke, and Opelika until he entered the army in 1942. Joe received his basic training at Fort Lewis, Washington, and later served in the European theater of operation. He was discharged in 1945 atid returned to Opelika, where he had worked previous to his enlistment. It was then that Joe began work for the Lee County Bulletin and assumed the job of making up The Plainsman, Working on The Plainsman, Joe had a new editor and business manager coming in each year and the same job of assisting each in his new duties. Requiring a lot of patience, his job with each new group was always interesting. He recalls amusing incidents that took place during his five years with the Bulletin. In leaving, Joe termed The Plainsman as "one of the best college papers." Present staff members quickly responded and termed him "a first-rate make-up man and a top-notch individual." Portuguese Educator Studies Auburn Clubs Arnaldo Rodriques de Sousa, principal of an agricultural high school in Lisbon, Portugal, was in Auburn last week studying the organization of 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers of America. Sousa is visiting the United States as a guest of the federal government. Since there are no agricultural organizations for farm youths in Portugal, he plans to take back ideas for setting up clubs similar to 4-H and F.F.A. The Portuguese visitor, an engineer- agronomist, is a graduate of the Technical University of Lisbon.

HALF^HOUR LAUNDRY Elementary Teachers' Futures Bright; Secondary Level Is Highly Competitive' P r e p a r e d by the U.S. Department of Labor Graduates trained for elementary school teaching should find a wide choice of employment opportunities in most s t a t e s this spring. On the other hand, prospective teachers at t h e secondary level will find a highly competitive employment situation in all but a few subject fields. Last year, only one student completed training for elementary teaching for every three who were needed; this year, the shortage will be nearly as acute. The number of students completing preparation for high school teaching in 1949 was four times as great as the demand; the oversupply in 1950 is expected to be even greater. The need for teachers in elementary schools will continue to increase over the next several years. According to a recent study by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, enrollments in grades 1 to 8 will probably rise sharply for the next seven years in most states and then level off. The total number of elementary teaching positions will therefore increase considerably, perhaps by more than 260,000 in the next seven years. The number of new teachers required annually will be the greatest about 1953, the year when the sharpest increase in enrollments is expected. Many more new teachers are required each year as replacements than for new positions, even in the current period of rapid growth of elementary school population. On the basis of a conservative rate of 7 per cent, it is estimated that over half a million elementary teachers will be required in the next 10 years to replace those who die, retire, or leave the classrooms for other reasons. The numioer oi young people taking training for elementary teaching will depend, in the future as in the past, chiefly on the other employment opportunities available and the relative salaries offered. If general economic conditions should become less favorable and there should be considerable unemployment, the supply of elementary teachers might become such that keen competition would develop. Secondary Teachers Strong competition for high school teaching positions is expected in the country as a whole for the next few years at least. However, the distribution of teachers by locality and by subject field is such that some schools suffer shortages while others have many applicants for each job. With few exceptions, shortages are now limited to rural areas and such special subject fields as home economics. The greatest oversupply in most states is in men's physical education, the social sciences, and English. It is likely that education and experience requirements will be raised, in line with the prewar trend. Students taking training for high school teaching should plan to get a master's degree in order to qualify for the best employment opportunities. Enrollments in grades 9 to 12 are expected to decline until about 1952. Therefore, the need for high school teachers will be limited largely to replacements for the next few years. After 1952, enrollments will probably rise slowly for the following three years and then increase rapidly into the 1960s.

College Make Hawkins Headquarters For All Your College Needs Phone 356 **im Work Needed On Unfinished Projects As we come to the end of another school year we look back over the events and happenings which have made this school term stand out in our minds. The Plainsman during the past year has tried diligently to bring to the students a first hand coverage of news of campus affairs as well as an editorial analysis of certain campus problems. During fhe year we have reported several causes which we believe to be moves for the betterment of Auburn. Such programs as a Student Union Building and student representation on the Disciplinary Board have met with favorable reaction to college officials. Both ideas are now placed squarely before college authorities and action will be taken in the near future. Action on the Disciplinary Board seat should be taken this quarter if the committee is to be put in a sounder position during the. coining school year. However, we have not been too successful with • other programs which we have plugged in the editorial columns. The much needed teacher evaluation system and a campus-operated book' exchange are two projects which we feel should be adopted. We have pushed the teacher evaluation plan hard during the past five quarters, yet officials have not offered an administrative policy on the matter. For the sake pf clarity, such a policy should be announced to students and faculty. In the case of the book exchange on the cmnmis. student leaders are working to draw a sound plan for the establishment of an exchange on the campus. We hope tq carry a definite report on the progress in next week's issue. To point out the desirability of either the teacher, evaluation plan or the book exchange would be only a repetition of over 200 inches of copy devoted to both these subjects in these columns during the past year. Their value is clearly visible. The need for action en these projects is even more glaring. We have enjoyed supporting these projects. We feel that their need is clearly visible on the Auburn campus. In some cases we feel that- stude'nts and college officials are aware of this need; in other instances, neither students nor administration is certain of their opinions on the projects. In either case, we feel that these projects deserve the proper consideration of both students and faculty. If they are approved by both groups, then ad.ministra-ive and sudent leaders should take a stand on the issues involved. All of these projects are too important to risk being overlooked or neglected. The Powers Of The University System College officials have tried for a long time to show the American public the power which the American university system can wield in the influence of national and international affairs. The power of higher learning in moulding American thoughts and principal must be realized if our university system is to grow strong. President James Roscoe Miller of Northwestern University in his inaugural address gave some very thought provoking comment on the power of the university. Stating that "the university is truly a rock for the society of free men," president Miller said that it is a stronghold "because it is an institution which is intensively preoccupied with the activities of the human mind." President Miller's timely comment for all college officials and students states in part: "Thus arises the tremendous power lodged in the university. The greatest power in the world today is not the atom bomb. The human mind that conceived the bomb is a greater power when it operates in an environment of freedom. We have everything to fear when it is curbed and perverted. "In a broad sense, our civilization is the fruit of the university, of a traditional approach to knowledge that is humane and responsible because it cultivates the spirit along with the intellect. "If we have taken this tradition for granted, now is the time to reassert it. "For if, at the same hour that men succeed in splitting the atom, they allow the intellect to be divided from the conscienee, all the achievement of science, the contributions of the world's wealth and to man's comfort, the engineering wonders, are but-a handful of dust. "We must not let this happen. "Higher education in America must adhere to its humane sympathies, and responsible character. "The indispensable condition for this job is freedom. We must continue to maintain universities which can resist political pressure or pressure from organized groups or vested interests. "We must do this or fall victims to the tragic failure that we have already seen demonstrated in our time: the failure to see that it is the enlightenment of the spirit, not the dictates of legislation, that makes men free." The Plainsman Suffers A Loss Publishing The Plainsman this week just didn't seem right, because with this issue we go to press for the first time since we assumed editorship of the paper without the invaluable assistance of Joe Teaver, our make-up man. To know and work with a man as talented an fine as Joe Teaver was a pleasure which few newspaper men will ever experience. His kind, understanding attitude, paired with his firm, yet businesslike manner made him an asset to his profession and his employer. On several occasions we have felt that it would be impossible to meet publication deadline, because of the different problems that arise when publishing a newspaper. However, even under the very greatest of pressure Joe always had a A Tabloid Plainsman With the publication of The Plainsman during the summer quarter, students will see the appearance of the paper in tabloid size. At a recent meeting of the Board of Student Publications, the editor requested that the change from metropolitan to tabloid size be made on a trial basis for the cheerful smile and helping hand to meet any problem. His patience with young inexperienced editors was amazing. He listened attentively and constructively criticized the eager young journalists' plans for making up pages. He treated each idea of the editor with proper consideration and then if he felt that improvement could be made, he handled the situation with the tact of a real gentleman. His suggestion was always an improvement. It is with a touch of regret that we publish this issue of The Plainsman without the aid of Joe Teaver. His smile, his sincerity, and his genuine desire to better each issue of the publication was an inspiration which will always hold a warm spot in the heart of the editor and staff. quarter, and the Board approved the move. This is, we think, a major step in the progress of The Plainsman. In becoming tabloid, this paper will join a large majority of college newspapers which have abandoned the metropolitan size in the last few years.

He's a wine taster'* Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer The public, generally speaking, has long since given up accepting "what they read in the newspapers" as absolutely accurate, truthful, and without error. Too many instances which have disproved this can be cited. Having gotten this major point across, I would like to offer to the public the results of a ed that "Dr. James is much bet-painstaking survey recently completed. Delving back through past issues of'this publication, I picked out several errors—some typographical, others in word order— which tire truly gems. Going way back to the days when the society page was really Society errors •* were plentiful. In naming the "sup p o r t i n g players" of a wedding, o ne write-up said: "Miss Carolyn M a st e r s was the matron of h o n o r , a nd W i l l i a m T. Jenkins was the beset man." Publicity about a dance in another edition listed about 30 alumni as "out-of-gown" guests. A notice about an annual banquet stated: "The Collegians will have women for dinner Saturday night." And a "personal" on a prominent faculty member assert- Mcleer ter after being kicked by a horse." The editorial page has had its share of boners through the years. Back in "the days of cautious crusading, one column had type at its top proudly proclaiming that "This columnist has wildest latitude in expressing his views." An editorial reporting a conference claimed that an administrative official "deceived the press Monday." And a more recent editorial piece discussed the "Untied Nations" at some length. News stories have been good places of hiding for miscues. Once a headline on the front page flatly- announced: "Professor Newton Sqeaks at Meeting."-A write-up of an agricultural event related the facts on a cattle show held by some female members of a local 4-H Club. A group of students from the School of Agriculture inspected the girls' calves, according to the report.

Subscription rates by mail: $1.00 for 3 months, $3.00 for 12 months. During the uncertain conditions surrounding' the activity of our nation and the world today we hear such phrases as World Federation, Atlantic Union, United Nations, etc. as an answer to the problem of world peace. We all realize that these plans work on paper. However, why don't they work in reality? We should all realize that the economical and geographical obstacles to unity among peace loving people can be overcome regardless of their size. The one big obstacle to world peace is the lack of the proper attitude on the part of the people. This lack of faith and understanding on the part of the people today is dominant because the people everywhere, are beginning to fear and distrust their neighbors' motives and actions. These doubts and dislikes are fed by the petty prejudices which individuals have built up against each other. These prejudices are sometimes either holdovers from tradition or creations from the play on emotions and the baser elements of life by many leaders. The leaders nurture and fan these petty prejudices into intense hatreds. The purpose of these men is strictly personal. An example of this is the fact that perpetrators of war must have the backing of their people. These war leaders only gained this backing through spreading among their own people deep and unfound prejudices against a nation or people they wish to attack. Witness the hatred of German for Englishman, Frenchman, and Jew fanned to flames by leaders of Nazism; Communism thriving on a prejudice and hatred of Frenchman against German and Englishman, or a Tal-madge, Bilbo, or Connor breeding hatred for members of the Negro race. On down through our history prejudice has been the breeder of fear, hatred, oppression, revolution, and war between the peoples of the world. As a result of all' the ugly offsprings of prejudice we should realize that an eternal vigilance against prejudice is the price and keystone of a democratic society. If there is prejudice in man there can be no democracy; if there is oppression against man there can be no liberty; if there is injustice done to man there can be no peace of mind. The issue is clearly defined. History has proven the faults and damaging results of man's prejudice. Prejudice is the tool of bigots and demagogues, dictators and the evil. Man must choose between either liberty and equality for all, or prejudice, bigotry and the evil results which accompany these detrimental forces. The results being hatred and fear on all sides, loss of control of the government by the people, the placing of race against race, c^ass against class, and finally nation against nation. It therefore remains that if today we are to put truth and realism into our talk of peace and democratic freedom for the world, we must start at the beginning and stamp out the root of war and unrest—prejudice. It is up to us to make our sometimes doubtful democratic nation, truly democratic. Elimination of prejudices will be the first major step in achieving a stronger, more workable democracy in America today. As a result world peace will be nearer. Lucky old us! We are among the some two billion people living in the Atomic Age. If you are in any way prudent, you have been keeping a notebook just chock full of memoranda of these happy times, so you will unfalteringly be able to tell your grandchildren all about the wonderful things which have come to pass during this particular renaissance. Practically a must for any housewife is a new type automatic needle threader. According to the advertisement, this unbelievably simple little machine is designed to save "eyesight, time, and patience," and it "threads needles like magic." With proper training and a little practice, a child can operate the Thread-O-Matic, as it is cleverly named. Here's all you have to do: insert the needle of your choice into the hole in the gleaming plastic top of the device, align the eye of the needle With a gleaming plastic plunger inside, d r a w some thread (any color will do; the Thread-O-Matic is not prejudiced) through a slit in the gleaming plastic case, press a gleaming plastic button on the gleaming plastic side, and withdraw the needle. Voila Tout! The needle is threaded, just as guaranteed. See how easy it is? The Thread-O-Matic may be ordered directly from the manufacturer. The price of the remarkable invention is only $2.95, plus nine cents tax. Postage is paid by the producer, so there is a total charge of only $3.04 for the niftiest little pretty yjou ever did see. If you thread many needles, the Thread-O-Matic will pay for itself in no time. Another milestone of progress in the Atomic Age is the development of anti-rust gasoline. It has been proved 'through impartial tests that copper, silver, and chromium will not rust when immersed in the mixture. The amazing rust-resisting ability of these metals is undoubtedly due to the addition of RD-119, the reddest-hot fuel ingredient in years, to the anti-rust gasoline. Nobody seems to know just what the RD- 119 is made of, but it must be good. One would think that anti-rust gasoline is here to stay, but then one reads of plans for a motor-less car, and one wonders. Dr. A. R. Von Hippel, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has recently made the somewhat startling announcement that barium titanite, whatever that is, can store 10,000 times the amount of electricity than can conventional condensers. Consequently, a crystal the size of a small slot machine can furnish enough power to run your car from here to Wichita and back. Somebody had better get to Work on the problem of producing anti-rust barium titanite. Probably the most important of all the development of the Atomic Age is Slim-O, the effervescing powder which reduces you in the proper places as you sprinkle it on. It has been rumored (that several manufacturers have already begun turning out combination salt, pepper and Slim-O shakers, in order that the little grains of decimating powder may be handy on the table for guests who eat too much. When' your children's children admire your still youthful-looking physical structure, you will be able to pat their little heads and say, "I owe it all to Slim-O." This Atomic Age is really good stuff; now they've figured out the . theoretical part, at least, of how to whip up an H-bomb, which will be a number of times more powerful that the nuclear bomb which rattled windows at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, as far as I am concerned, you may drive around all you want in motorless cars with anti-rust gasoline; you may thread needles all day, every day, with a Thread-O-Matic; you mdy cascade so much Slim-O on yourself that you will waste away to nothing. Again, I don't care what you Ho; but as for me, I'm going to be ready when the Hydrogen Age comes. As soon as the first H-bomb joes off, I'm going to gather a few necessities—things I really need, like mustard plasters and the latest copy of Daring Detective Stories and peanut butter-and- jelly sandwiches—and hibernate for the duration, or at least until the Lithium Age gets here. Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill I see by his column, "The Sports Whirl," that Dennis Smith-erman, sports edior of the Mobile Press, isn't all broken out with happiness over the handling of Auburn's 1950-51 basketball schedule. It seems that Bill Gardiner, Spring Hill basketball coach, wrote to the Auburn schedule-makers, as he has since 1946 if we are to believe Mr. Smither-man, asking them to schedule a game between the Tigers and the Spring Hill quintet. The answer, as per usual Smitherman says, was "no, sorry." This situation _ „ . . . . , . , 'sn'*; particu- ^ ^ a ^ , * *' 1 a r 1 y pleasing to Mr. Smitherman and he proceeded t o wax eloquent about the injustice in Auburn's failing to schedule a basketball game in A^r-flll Mobile. He continued Greenhill along that line that although Auburn athletic teams have never drawn decent crowds in Mobile, it's Auburn's own fault. He said, "Who or what is Aruburn to the average Mobi-lian? . .'. a team they read about on the sports pages occasionally, but a school they very seldom have the opportunity to come in close contact with. Why? Because Auburn won't make itself known to Mobile and Mobilians . . . It (Mobile) hasn't shown that it will support Auburn's football team— most likely it would when the opportunity presents itself again —as long as Auburn hasn't something to offer. That's what's been lacking in the past appearances here of the Plainsmen's grid' teams." . Well, Dennis old boy, I'd like to appoint myself unofficial spokesman for Auburn and present you with a little rebuttal. First, let's look at what you said about the past appearances of the Auburn football team. So we haven't had anything to offer, huh! How about naming me a trio of Mobile-played games that can compare with the Clemson games of the past two years and the Florida game last season as to spectator appeal? That's right, you can't, and yet weren't the financial records for these contests written in red ink? I hear that stadium down there seats some 35,000 but I'll bet 15,- 000 is a liberal estimate of the crowd in each case. What I want to know is who's shunning whom? Now let's look at the reasons for the Tigers not going out of their way to play in Mobile (overlooking the undermanned crowd angle). First, what can Auburn gain by playing Spring Hill in Mobile? There are a number of teams we'd like to play but let's look at it practically. Granted that the Mobile quintet would furnish decent competition, but does Mobile have a gymnasium large enough to hold more than half the number of people that can be seated in the A.P.I, sports arena (presuming that the Mobile gym would be filled)? Second, since we need a bit of that filthy lucre to use in improving our athletics and therefore enable ourselves to have something to offer, these games we play must make money. Could we be sure that a Mobile tilt would be economically feasible? Last, and something you are obviously unaware of Mr. Smitherman, ever since the olden days when Johnny and Fanny were just proper nouns, Auburn has ketball has been a student sport. It has been the policy, and a very admirable policy it is, to play as many games as possible before home crowds. Too often Dennis, colleges in the present-day commercialized athletic set-up, tend to forget students for the sake of the almighty dollar. Here at Auburn, we try to hit the medium and play more games on the home court, play before the greatest possible number of spectators and also to stay in the black financially. Can you see our position? We don't hate you Mobilians; indeed the Mobile alumni have been very good to the school and having shown that they have the school's best interests at heart, they obviously will agree that we need to be practical about this thing. Nope Dennis, we aren't slighting you all; we're just being rational under present conditions. Cannon Report By Tom Cannon According to an Associated Press dispatch, the new governor and legislature will not be butting heads with each other as these two instruments of government have been doing for the past four years. During Governor Folsom's administration, m a n y projects _nat would have been valuable tu the state have been neglected, simply because neither side was willing to give in to each other. Governor-designate Persons, it is reported, plans to see • each senator and representative personally within the next few mon- . ths. Mr. Persons will point out to the legislator the things that he would like to put through as governor, and then ask him what he thinks. Such a program should get the Person administration off to a good start. To me, this step on ^ the part of the governor-designate indicates that we may expect a progressive, business-like state government. Mr. Persons is going to need a cooperative House and Senate if he is to put through such reforms as reapportionment and the $3 tag. Since any governor who attempts to carry out a strong program meets with bitter opposition from some quarters, tactful and judicious handling of the legislature is of primary importance. However, Persons will find himself in a good bargaining position. In addition to the appointments that a chief executive ordinarily makes, there are many Folsom appointees who have never been confirmed by the Senate. The new governor will be able to fill these posts with his own men. Whether we like it or not, patronage still greatly influences politicians. Mr. Persons is quoted as saying his will be "a businesslike administration, straight down the middle." From the straight-forward manner in which he proposes to meet the legislators, his administration promises to be successful. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Various persons and organizations have spent considerable wind and paper in an attempt to evaluate teachers and there-by supposedly raise t h e educational standards of the school. At least the latter is mentioned once in a while. But the main feature seems to be the professor popularity con- \ test. Perhaps, the tables should be turned and the professors rate the students. This is different and quite an outrageous statement, right? Then how about rating both at the safne time, fair enough? First let's consider the evaluation of the teacher by the students. 1. Do the students have previous knowledge of the instructor? \ 2. Are they prejudiced due tt^ their attitude and to his assign- * ments? 3. Can they actually tell if anyone else could teach the course any better? 4. Do they actually k n ow whether they have learned anything or just enjoyed or disliked the class? These questions may be answered as you please. However, let's hope that you agree to the following: 1. Students have little previous knowledge of the professor as to his education, interests,.or personality, except by gossip and the catalog. Most of the gossip is that he is good, bad, or "crip." That is teacher rating, isn't it? How many of you can say that the rating will hold? 2. An overbearing and discourteous teacher who requires considerable homework doesn't rate at the top of anyone's list. But his requirements sometimes force the student to learn more in spite of himself than the students under easier instructors. You wouldn't want to hurt anyone who treated you well and gave you a good grade, would you? But how about someone who tried to teach you something? 3. Few can qualify as competent judges even if they take the same course under two different instructors. Even fewer students investigate all of the possible instructors of a certain course and then come to a decision as to which one consistently teaches his students more. 4. Few people can actually judge by instructors' quizzes just what they have or have not learned in the course. When this small evaluation is taken away there is no organization whatsoever to judge what was learned, forgotten, or skipped. (Continued on page 8) \ / T I • Preview Of 1950 Edition Of Auburn Football Eleven Tigers, Struggling Up In SEC Standings, Rely On Speed To Offset Loss Of '49 Line By Jimmy Coleman A.P.I. Sports Publicity Director Picked for the cellar last year,.Auburn fooled the experts by knocking off Mississippi State and Alabama, tying Georgia, Florida, and Clemson, and ending the season in a deadlock for eighth place with Ole Miss in the SEC standings. When the Plainsmen upset three-touchdown, favorite Alabama last December, writers be gan calling Auburn "the team to watch in 1950." Auburn, no doubt, would be a dangerous threat if that same team were intact today. The real story is that all the offensive linemen who played TOP TACKLE HAILED AS ONE of the most promising young linesmen in the South last fall as a sophomore, Foots Bauer (above) is being counted on to help stabilize Auburn's forewall in the Tigers' 10- game schedule this fall. From Montgomery, he stands an even six feet and weighs 205. such a great game along with Travis Tidwell finished their eligibility when the final whistle »sounded that day. But despite this loss, the Plainsmen will have more speed and confidence than they possessed a year ago. Coach Earl Brown's greatest loss in material was at the tackles. Gone are Max Autrey, John Adcock, and Arnold Fagen. On hand to replace these seasoned veterans are two lettermen—Ed (Foots) fiauer, Montgomery, and Ted Varano, Chester, Pa., both juniors this fall. Bauer Expected to Star Bauer, hailed as one of the finest first-year linemen in the land last season, is regarded by- Brown and Tackle Coach Ralph Slaten as the lineman to watch in the SEC this fall. Slaten, a pretty good tackle himself at Georgia Tech under W. A. Alexander and Bobby Dodd, flatly declares Bauer to have no equal in the conference. For reserve strength with experience, Brown wisely moved End Bobby Reaver to tackle where he'll be used offensively. He's the big boy who dropped back to punt for the Plainsmen during 1948 and the early part of 1949 until Tidwell and Jim Mc- Gowen took over his job Two other juniors who show promise are Harold Harris, Line-ville, and Joe Tiburzi, Chester, Pa. Harris, a diligent blond youngster, showed vast improvement in spring drills and will be given a' chance to prove himself in action. Tiburzi, at 230-pounds, looked good in spots as a defensive bulwark this spring, but doesn't move fast enough to merit offensive duty. Three other hefty —but - u n t r i e d sophomores— round out the reserves. All Alabama boys, they are Sam Hanks, Evergreen; Mort Vaserberg, Birmingham; and Breece Barley, Florence. Centers At center, Bill Hogarth, a senior from Miami, Fla., is the number- one offensive man replacing Alternate-Captain Coker Barton. A sophomore, Guy Bruce, Bessemer, i s being g r o o m e d to help offensively, and a transferee —Tommy Page, of Bay Minette— might help. Frank Hayes, a dependable linebacker, is gone via the graduation route, but two fine defensive players are on hand to replace him. They are Homer Williams, Greensboro, and John Crolla, MOVING UP BILL TUCKER (above) and Allan Parks will be battling each other to fill the shoes of "Travel-in' Travis" Tidwell at the quarterback position for the Auburn Tigers this fall. Tucker will probably do most of the passing while Parks is an expert ball-handler. Dudley Spence, a sophomore, will be in reserve and is expected to see occasional duty. Chicago, 111. Williams.was placed RACK AT GUARD ori the first-string Associated j .— Press All-Sophomore team last | season. Ends Coach Shot Senn's flankmen will be without the services of | tough Capt. Ralph Pyburn and pass-snagging Erskine Russell, but are expected to make a good showing, nevertheless. Lettermen Virgil Willett, Tallahassee, Fla., and Fred Duart, Jamaica, N.Y., are back but Duart's starting position is in peril by virtue of promising Gene Mulhall, a rangy Windy City lad rated as a sophomore because he was held from action last season. Juniors expected to see duty are Charlie Justo and Tommy Edwards, Birmingham, and David Ridgway, Jackson, Miss. Of the upcoming sophomores from last year's freshman squad, Lee Hay-ley, Birmingham, and E r i ch Sauerbrey, Macon, Ga., have been consistent standouts. Five others will come in for reserve strength, but will need valuable experience. They arc Bill McMurry, Fairfield; Ernest Baker, Camden, S.C.; Ed Dupree, Renfro; % Jimmy Cline, LaGrange, Ga.; Bobby Crump, Auburn. Banks Great At Guard At guard, Tom Banks, the pugilist- looking Birmingham boy who made all the all-opponent teams last year, will be in the thick of running for S.E.C. laurels with teammates Bauer and Capt. Jim McGowen. If line reserves show up well, Banks and Bauer could make Auburn's line one of the most formidable in the conference. Jack Lambert, Gadsden; Frank Jones, Brewton; and Jim Brooks, Philadelphia, Pa., are returning letter-men who will help. In addition, 190-pound Danny Stewart, Birmingham, who was tried at center, has been moved to add reserve strength at guard. He lettered as a fullback in 1948. Sophomore Bobby Rhed, * an All-America prep selection at Mc- Comb, Miss., might find himself in the*thick of battle this fall. He now holds an edge over Senior Dan Mantrone, a 1948 letterman. Sophs who will be battling each other for favored positions are Foy Thompson, Camden, S.C.; Mauro Grosso, New Brunswick, TOUGH but good-natured Tom Banks (above) attracted attention as being one of the best guards in the conference last season. He made all the all-opponent teams with his tireless and relentless charging that cost the opposition many a yard. Banks was a Little Ail-American at Ellisville Junior College, Miss., before coming to Auburn as a junior transferee last season. He might end up on the All-SEC team at the end of the 1950 season. parted Tidwell, it can be said that eventually spelled upset for Ala- N.J.; Bobby Drake, Montgomery; Wyman Gibson, Decatur; and Jimmy Allison, Phenix C i t y. Thompson, Drake and Grosso have an edge over the others. Tidwell Gone Quarterback Travis Tidwell, voted most outstanding in the S. E.C. and most valuable in America by the Williamson System, will play his football for the professional New York Giants this fall. Two juniors, Bill Tucker and Allan Parks, made equal showings in Spring practice, so to the question "who will replace Tidwell?"— there it no real answer. Tucker, by virtue of his edge in playing time over Parks as a sophomore, might be ceded a very slight edge over his Jackson, Miss., rival. Actually they are two separate types—Tucker, the flashy passer; Parks, the smooth ball-handler and leader of men. In comparing Tucker to the de- Tucker is the more daring of the two. He loves to take chances and generally has been successful. Some observers rate him close to Vito Parilli as a passer. By Tidwell's own admission, Tucker throws a prettier pass than the "Travelin' Man." But whether or not he will be as effective as Tidwell remains to be seen. Last season he threw 37 passes, completing 13 for 284 yards (an average of almost 22 per pass), three going for touchdowns. He kicked 15 of 19 extra points and one field goal. Dudley Spence, a sophomore who made All-Southern as a quarterback at McComb, Miss. High, will come along behind Parks and Tucker. Need Breakaways What Brown and Backfield Coach Johnny Murphy c r a ve most is a genuine breakaway runner. They're eyeing three youngsters that may fill the bill: Jim (Fireplug) Jeffers, a Cnicago youngster who set a 220-yard dash record in high school; Dickie P l o u r n o y , t h e Salem 1 a d who gained fame as 880-champion in the SEC; and Albert (Crazy Legs) Woodham, of Albany, Ga. Left Halfbacks Flournoy, used mostly on defense last season, proved he can also run with the pigskin this spring and heads a list of candidates who will be fighting tooth and nail all fall for playing bids. Bill Davis, a long-striding senior from Corinth, Miss., will be used as a kickoff return specialist, pass receiver, and runner. Dwight Hitt, Jackson, Miss., a junior who played more than any other sophomore on the squad last season, plays defense, offense, and is expected to be used as a punt returner. Another junior who was a standout as a soph—155-pound Bobby Golden of Decatur— will continue to prove that he's one of the pluckiest little fellows in collegiate football today. He's a terrific blocker, tackier, a good pass receiver, and follows his interference with uncanny skill. Right Halfbacks Johnny Wallis, the number-one right halfback, is back for his final year. This stocky Birmingham lad intercepted the pass that bama last December and he is noted for his jarring tackles on defense. With a little more speed, his possibilities as a gridder would be unlimited. On hand to split offensive right half chores with Wallis and FB-RHB Jeffers is Bobby Briggs, a 6-1, 195-pound specimen from Leonia, N.J. who was terrific last season as a pass receiver and runner. He took in seven aerials for 222 yards and three touchdowns (average 31.7 yards per catch). In 29 rushing attempts from scrimmage, Briggs averaged 4.1 yards per try. His record would have been better, no doubt, had he not missed the last three games because, of a broken collarbone. Rigas Copstias, Americus, Ga., and Johnny Gibson, Birmingham, r o u n d out the left half sophomore reserves while Percy Alford, Birmingham, Bobby Salmon, Auburn, and two New Yorkers— Fred Halbig, Baldwin, and Don Phillips, Buffalo, close out the sophs at right half. Phillips was tried at quarterback but his fine work as a defensive safety landed him a job there. Alford, a long-legged former end, showed well on offense and defense in spring drills. Halbig is a speed merchant and Salmon has shown promise defensively. Fullbacks There is-a concentration of talent at fullback. The position is not only four-deep, but talented. Captain-elect Jim McGowen, Empire, heads the l i s t w i th Charlie Langner, Birmingham; Jim Jeffers, Chicago; and bright-star- on-the-horizon Don (Bobo) Blackerby, Bessemer, close on his heels. McGowen and Langner, both seniors, have proved their prowess— McGowen as a runner, passer, blocker, receiver, and above average punter; Langner as a straightaway power runner. He finished last season with 405 net yards at 3.6 yards per clip. McGowen (whose older brother, Dick, captained Auburn 10 years ago) fractured his wrist in the season's opener last year and was out until the Mississippi State game. He punted only 23 times which included several intentional out-of-bounds efforts, yet averaged 39.5 yards per kick. Blackerby is rated as one of Auburn's two top sophomore prospects for '50. (The other is End Gene Mulhall). A bruising 205-pounder on a rugged six-foot frame, this sod-burning power runner outdid Georgia's celebrated Lauren Hargrove when the Baby Tigers nailed the Georgia frosh last season and was also the leading ground-gainer, overshadowing Alabama's top sophomore prospect, Bobby Marlow, against the Baby Tide. TO LEAD TIGERS JIM MCGOWEN A TALENTED PLAYER who can do practically anything with the pigskin, Capt.-elect and Fullback Jim McGowen will lead Auburn's Tigers into their 1950 campaign against record-setting Wof-ford College in Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, Sept. 22. \r Co ngratulations TO The Glomerata Staff On The Early Completion of ™Thel950 Yearbook" WE ARE SURE THAT IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST ANNUALS EVER.

The varsity smashed to a convincing 76% and 49V2 while the freshmen, scoring only firsts, triumphed 10-4. Jim Dillion, Auburn frosh sensation, unofficially bettered the S. E.C. discus record with a toss of 157 feet 8V2 inches. Millard White of Tulane set the present record in 1939 at 154 feet 1% inches. Dillion also won the shot put with a 43 feet 5% inches'effort. While the varsity squads divided first place honors Coach Wilbur Hutsell's flying Plainsmen picked up sufficient second and third place finishes to turn what had been predicted as a close meet into an easy triumph for the invaders. Overton took things easy in the 4:43 mile to finish in a tie with teammates Mitchell and Steele and came back with a 9:54.9 two-mile, propping for the S.E.C. meet in Birmingham this weekend. Jack DeMedicis, Auburn hurlcr, lost his shoe on the second hurdle in the 120-highs but finished second. Mitchell again beat Flournoy in the 880 in 1:57.7. Auburn's Bauer, Bailey, and Luck swept the discus in that order. Tech's Stowers breezed to a fine :48.2 win in the 440 ahead of Flournoy. Stowers inched by Auburn's Walker in the 220 after Walker won the 100 in 9.8. GRADUATES!

Buddy DeBardeleben, of Birmingham, Pat Poyner. Dothan, Skippy Weatherby, Mobile, and Allan Bates, Selma, turned in a four-ball, 18-hole score of 275 which is 13 strokes under the regulation 288 for the par 72 Columbus (Ga.) Country Club course. In addition, DeBardeleben and Poyner carded a low-ball score of 59 for their 18-hole tour. A close check on available records failed to show a collegiate - foursome score or low-ball mark to equal this feat. The Auburn linksmen singed the Georgia .fairways and mastered the greens in their action against the Capstoners, to turn in the best individual performances of their college careers. DeBardeleben, Poyner, and Weatherby negotiated the layout in 67 strokes while Bates came home with a two-over par 74 to give Auburn a "perfect score," 81-0, win over 'bama. Brother, that's golf! Prof. George W. Hargreaves, Auburn golf coach, labeled the match, ". . .the most spectacular play, amateur or professional, I've ever seen." Golf, a minor sport on the athletic slate, has been a consistent strong point on the Tiger's intercollegiate-record. DeBardeleben and Poyner are rounding out their third year with the Tigers. Both graduate in June as does Bates. Weatherby is a sophomore. In the past three years Auburn has won 16 matches, lost but two and tied one in SEC competition. The Auburn foursome was runner-up in this year's SEC tourney held in Athens, Ga., April 27-28-29. In southern golf circles the fame of Auburn's golfers is established. Jack Key, having played number one position, was lost to the Plainsmen this season for he had finished his four years of eligibility. The Columbus, Ga., ace holds a long "list of golfing titles and is rated one of the top Southern amatuers. He is the Georgia state champion, twice champ of the Columbus Country Club, runner-up in the Tennessee Valley invitation tourney and winner of numerous club tournaments. DeBardeleben won the Birmingham invitational tournament this year and was second in the state last summer. South Alabama golfers are close followers of the long-hitting Poyner. You don't see too much of the golfer's work. Home course for the Plainsmen is the Saugahatchee Course off the Opelika highway and they're "at it just about every afternoon from the first day of school in the fall right through the spring's matches, perfecting and practicing, what, to the dub, appears an already mastered art. * * * "Wall Of Fame" The Tiger theatre has begun an ambitious plan to preserve for future Auburn followers a durable reminder of the past glory of nationally renowned Auburn athletes. On a wall inside the lobby of the theatre two plaques now hang bearing the footprint, handprint, and signature of two of Auburn's all-time greats: Whitey Overton, and Travis Tidwell. These plaques were "signed" Monday night by the charter members" of the theatre's "Wall- of Fame." Jimmy Hitchcock, an All- American in 1932 from Auburn, was master of ceremonies at the program whereby Overton and Tidwell made their marks. Athletic Director Wilbur Hutsell and Coach Earl Brown were on hand to help inaugurate the scheme. Coach Hutsell praised the idea as ". . .a grand idea. These fine athletes who have meant so much to Auburn will have their marks and the boys selected w i l l , I'm sure, feel honored beyond words." Tiger Cindermen Ready For SEC Meet In Birmingham; Alabama Is Favorite By Stuart Stephenson Birmingham's Legion Field will provide the cinder path for this year's SEC track and field championship to be run Friday and Saturday. The SEC's best are prepping to dethrone the' Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets with Coach Tom Lieb's 'Bama Tide rated the most likely to don the crown. 'Bama's balance gives them the Overton Stands Out In last year's meet, Auburn's great Whitey Overton turned in a brilliant exhibition of distance running. The Montgomery Marvel broke the tape first in the mile and two-mile runs—both in the same afternoon to set a new ^ SEC "first." Having run within two-tenths of a second of the existing SEC mile mark this season and 3.9 seconds better than the two-mile mark, Whitey is set to run his greatest races for Auburn. It will be the last SEC competition for the blond Olym pic ace. , Travis Tidvyell was first to plant his foot in the plaster of pa-ris mold. Coach Brown assisted the grid star in making the impression. As Whitey Overton placed his size -11 shoe upon the mold Coach Hutsell quipped, -"This is one time a foot is certainly more than 12 inches." Hitchcock paid tribute to the Auburn track star as ". . .the greatest distance runner the South has ever produced." Cheerleaders Herman Blagg and Jack Orcutt were on hand to lead the tradiational 'War Eagle" cheer for Tidwell and Overton, and close the first "Wall of Fame" program. Theatre Manager George Devours originated the plan along the lines of Sid Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and other "halls of fame." The plan is a sound one and should pro,ve an outstanding addition to the overall "Auburn spirit." Membership in the "Wall of Fame" will be decided upon by a selection committee composed of the athletic director, head football coach, and theatre manager. nod for this meet but dopesters warn of others' might. Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Tigers rate more than passing comment for their abilities. Whitey Overton, Jack DeMedicis and Dickie Flournoy will lead the Plainsmen. Overton and Flournoy are SEC title holders in the mile, two-mile, and half-mile runs with DeMedicis a strong contender for honors on the strength of his having tied the time of last year's champ, Auburn's Joe Pennington, with 14.5 seconds for the 120-yard high hurdles. Tech is given but scant attention in this year's pickings since they lost the services of Buddy Fowlkes and Red Smith. Fowlkes picked up 14 points last year in the dashes, hurdles, and broad jump. However, the Techmen have hope in Jim Stowers for the 440 and 220, and Bob Renshaw in the 880. Renshaw was beaten by Auburn's Flournoy for the 880- title last year. Ben Sutton, long-legged hope of Coach Spec Towns' Georgia Bulldogs, figures to score in the 220 and the quarter-mile. Paul Bienz, stocky bolt of Green Wave lightning will lead a stronger-than-usual Tulane aggregation unto the Magic City cinders. Should Bienz cop firsts in the 100 and 220 dashes, it will be the third straight year he has done the trick. ., L.S.U., winner of 13 SEC crowns, must be considered as well as a strong Florida team. Hugo Nutini could give the half-milers a lot of trouble, and the Chilean PDT, and SPE, 1 each half-mile champ is determined to j ~ give conference champion Overton ' a closer race in the mile.

The Tigers won a G-4 game from the Nashville nine on their home diamond Monday with Gene Hoehle and Bill Fih-layson handling throwing duties. Vanderbilt appears as t he "jinx" team for Auburn in all sports. The Plainsmen have never rolled over the Black and Gold Nashvillians in any sport nor have the Commodores failed to present a strong aggregration when tagged to do otherwise. The week end's contest should provide Tiger fans with the best showing of the season. Auburn's sophomore infield of Ray Dean at third, Harvey Camp at short and Hoehle at first will wind up their first varstiy year. Captain Dick Webb, a junior, at second will lead the Tigers for their last '49 efforts. In the outfield Julian Mock, Joe Sterling, and Dan Gilmore will roam the greensward.

Five teams failed to qualify in the tournament for^lack of play- Crimson Tide Takes Third Diamond Win From Auburn Nine By Bill McArdle Alabama's big bats gave them their third consecutive victory over Auburn's baseballers Saturday, but it took a three-run homer by Tiger nemesis George Howell to do it. Howell, who blasted a 4- run homer in one of the two teams' previous meetings at Auburn, drove in five of the Tide's nine runs as they triumphed, 9-7. Two games were originally scheduled for the week end, but! rain postponed the Friday game and also the attempt to make it up after the game Saturday. George Hill went the distance for the Tigers and limited the Tide to five hits. However, he gave up 10 bases on balls and the Tiders came through in the clutches.

Even advertisements have had their share of blunders. A local bookstore was, twice-blest one week, in announcing a new system of sales which should produce a maximum of confusion but at the same time offer oGod prices for used books. A classified ad which was run hvone issue announced: "For Sale —Young dressed hens. Absolutely clean and ready for the rooster." But probably the choicest error of all was an announcement by a, prosperous nearby factory which claimed that it had played an important role in the growth of this community!

All members are '.urged to attend by Theta Epsilon officers. (Continued from page 4) Secondly, let's consider t he teacher's evaluation by the students. 1. Does he give representative or trick quizzes? 2. Does he teach the quiz?— "Now get this, for next week, I'll ask it." 3. Is he afraid of comparison? Can you be sure that his "A" student would compare with the "C" student of another professor? 4. Does he rush through his grading or just wait and let the students worry. 5. Don't quizzes require considerably more work from the careful instructor than from the sloppy instructor? 6. Are old quizzes available? 7. Does he scale grades, scale quizzes, or grade on the curve. 8. Does he have a basis for a normal curve? These questions give some idea of the problem faced by the instructor and the student when individual type examinations are given. Now let's consider how to rate both students and instructor: especially by comprehensive standardized examinations, which meet the following recommendations: 1. The examinations would cover all material which is recognized as being valuable to the field, would be covered and graded according to the value agreed on by department heads at Auburn and other schools, authors of text books, and consulting editors of publications on the subject. This would allow for introduction of new materials and also prevent pet projects from being shoved onto the students. The teacher should be required to teach all basic material of the course, then he could teach all other material as he saw fit. This would be similar to the present method of skipping or taking text book chapters at the teacher's discretion. 2. The material would require thoughtful application; not parroting or memorizing of a particular teacher's views. 3. These examinations would not necessarily be of the Sears-Roebuck type. School instructors could submit sample questions along with those of other schools and then an evaluated and compiled examination could be prepared and submitted for approval. 4. Great care should be exercised sto prevent either the students or instructors from obtaining the examinations. 5. There should be a central department whose job it would be to compile, publish, administer and grade these examinations. Another function of the department would be to contact graduates and obtain their opinion and rating on courses and instruction which they had received. 6. The examinations should meet these and more requirements, and be of the nature of Placement, Civil Service, an dGraduate examinations with the exception that only one particular course is covered. After setting up requirements or considerations of standardized examinations we should next consider ther use and value. 1. The student could show all that he had learned and also discover what he had not learned. The latter is conspicious by its absence at this school. 2. Accurate records and statistics would allow greater comparison and evaluation of the students according to his performance in comparison to other students, past and present, at Auburn and at other school. Then employers and teachers could better judge the aptitude and potentialities of the students. 3. Class averages could be used to judge individual instructors by comparing them with fellow instructors at Auburn and elsewhere. Investigation would show what had been taught and what was learned. Also, any progress or deterioration in teaching proficiency could be noted. 4. Student prejudice would be considerably reduced as the student would receive his grade while also indirectly rating his instructor. 5: The teacher's work load would be considerably reduced or rather changed to more constructive efforts. 6. The teacher's opinion; per-sonal^ views and recommendations should be entirely separate and entered separately upon the students record in a written form just as a job recommendation. Then the opinions could be viewed as such by employers. 7. The school's main interest should be of the scholastic rating while the student should take an interest in both scholastic ratingi and teacher recommendations. 8. This should encourage better students and teacher relations and greater mutual aid. The teacher instead of being the students' enemy would be an ally in the fight against the common enemy, the examination. Derrogatory terms such as foot-lickers, apple-polisher, etc., should become less frequent as the teacher's interest is in what the student may show scholastically and not in what is shown in pseudo-interest. These are some of the advantages and recommendations which we should like to make. The disadvantages, opposition and excuses will doubtlessly be admirably supplied by other sources.

Hazel Riley, Ozark, plays the leading role with Milton Brietzke, Auburn, as Jason and Eleanor Haines, Auburn, as the nurse. Other members of the cast are: Tom Erhart, Auburn, as the tut- ! or; Dorothy Dudley, Opelika, Carol Dorrough, Birmingham, and Jacque Sanford, Auburn, as three women of Corinth; James Masey, Point Rock, as Creon; T. C. Hoe-pfner, Auburn,' as Aegus; Cecil An Editorial The greatest problem facing the Auburn student body today is the acquisition of a Union Building. In the past six issues of The Plainsman we have carried detail reports on the findings of Union Committee in investigating the possibility, showing the necessity, and stating the purpose of such a building on the Auburn campus. Through these reports we have endeavored to acquaint the Auburn student body with the report of the committee and with the progress made in regards to the Union Building project. The purpose of the report of the Building Committee and of The Plainsman in publishing this report was to give a detailed plan on the project and to inform the students on all phases of the project. We do not feel it necessary to go into the report itself IJO point out the definite need for a Union Building on the Auburn campus. Neither do we feel that it is jiecessary to point out again the finding qf the committee. i Through the articles carried in The Plainsman as well as the. editorial comment upon the matter, the Auburn students have been given an opportunity to learn first hand the need, plans, and purpose of a Union Building. It goes without saying that the need for a Union Building on the Auburn campus is the greatest problem facing the Auburn student body in the past two decades. Student leaders have worked long and hard in drawing up the the present plans. They have consulted all proper college officials and they have sought out student opinion. It is now up to the student body to take action—swift action. A door for swift action has been opened by the Student Executive Cabinet. • At a meeting yesterday the Cabinet approved a measure calling for a referendum of the student body which states: "Thai the student activity fee be increased a maximum of $2 for the purpose of constructing a Union Building. This increase shall not become effective earlier than two years before construction is begun on the building and the increase in the fee shall be removed when the building is paid for." The motion also called for a student vote on May 25. Therefore, the matter of whether students are willing to approve of this sound plan so that the Board of Trustees may take action at their next meeting will be decided very soon. The Plainsman urges all students to study the plan of the Union Building Committee and to talk with members of the committee and the Cabinet. Students should have all 'questionable matters cleared up before voting. The Plainsman will do everything possible to give complete information on the project in next week's issue. Glomerata Distribution Will Begin Tomorrow Students To Vote On Raising Activity Fee On May 15; Ring Committee Revised '* u - n £ ' - A motion calling for a referendum on the question'of revising the student activity fee in order to support a Union Building was passed at a meeting of the Student Executive Cabinet yesterday. Also the motion called for student vote on' Thursday, May 25. Gilmer Blackburn, senior representative, made the motion which stated the referendum question as follows: "That the student activity fee be increased a maximum of $2 for the purpose of constructing a Union Building. This increase shall not become effective earlier than two years before construction is begun on the building and the increase in the fee shall be removed when the building is paid for." Ring Committee Also adopted at yesterday's meeting was the motion for a change in the Regulations of Permanent Committee of, the Executive Cabinet in regards to the chairmanship and members of the Ring Committee. The Cabinet voted to make one of the three senior representatives chairman of the Ring Committe and to Trantham, Gallion, Hurley Riley, Auburn, John Grimm, Montgom-ary, and Fred Halbig, Baldwin, N.Y., as four soldiers. In addition, Bill Stirling, Auburn, Stephen Malone, Auburn, Jean Ramsey, Atlanta, Ga., Jackie Fridge, Mobile, Love Cason, Birmingham, and Ruth Ogden, Auburn, will appear in the play. This is the last time that Hazel Riley and Carol Dorrough will" appear with the Players. Both have starred in many recent plays. In case of rain any one- night, one showing of "Medea" will be omitted. If it rains two . of the three nights, the play will be presented again Saturday, May 20. Admission is free to all students and 25 cents for all others. Two Religious Films To Be Shown Here Two films, "The Sickle or the Cross" and "The Life of St. Paul," will be presented on campus by the Student Council on Religious Activities. A little over an hour in length, 'The Sickle or the Cross" is rated one of the best religious films of 1949'. It received an award from a committee headed by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as the best film upholding American democracy. Produced by the Lutheran Layman's League, the picture tells the story of a Communist who comes to the United States as a fifth columnist and is converted to Christianity during his stay here. " The film will be shown in Langdon Hall Thursday, May 18, at 4 p.m. The 'second motion picture, "The Life of St. Paul," will be presented in Broun Hall Auditorium Monday, May 22, at 4 p.m. Taken almost verbatim from the Book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul,, the film was produced by J. Arthur Rank. All students, faculty members and townspeople are invited by the Student Council on Religious Activities to attend the presentations. make membership on the committee open to any member of the student body. Prior to the change yesterday the vice-president of the Cabinet, a junior, had served as chairman of the committee with five other committeemen being members of the senior class. Blackburn, in asking for a referendum on the matter of raising the student activity fee, pointed out that if the students give their approval to the plan, then college authorities will be able to ntove swifter in asking the Board of Trustees to get the Union Building project underway. He urged all students to study with care the reports of the Union Building Committee and to have all matters on the project cleared up before voting. "Without a doubt," he continued, "our greatest need on the Auburn campus today is the Union Building. If the students approve of the financial plan which we have drawn up, then college officials can move swiftly towards getting the building on the campus," he stated. Blackburn also pointed out the need and purpose of such a building. He stated that the hike in the student activity fee w o u ld amount to a very few cents a day in building a project that could mean "so much to the Auburn students."

Since his a r r i v a l in A u b u r n in 1945, J o e has t r a i n e d successive editors and Plainsman staff members in the work of assembling the publication. In a fast six hours each week, he made up The Plainsman and during the remainder of his ime made up two Bulletins weekly and the Alum-news monthly. In the process of working with The Plainsman staff, Joe had the opportunity to pull many of his favorite jokes and exhibit his good sense of humor. Early Start Smearing the printer's ink at an early age, Joe first worked after school for the old LaGrange Graphic, one of the oldest newspapers in LaGrange, Ga., where he was born. After graduating from high school, he continued to work with the Graphic, which soon consolidated with two other papers into the Daily News. While working with the News, Joe had the opportunity to study the Clarion, LaGrange H i gh School paper, and the publication of the LaGrange College for Women, which were then printed by the rfews. It was there that Joe recalls his first contact with student journalists. Later he worked with various publishers in West Point, Roanoke, and Opelika until he entered the army in 1942. Joe received his basic training at Fort Lewis, Washington, and later served in the European theater of operation. He was discharged in 1945 atid returned to Opelika, where he had worked previous to his enlistment. It was then that Joe began work for the Lee County Bulletin and assumed the job of making up The Plainsman, Working on The Plainsman, Joe had a new editor and business manager coming in each year and the same job of assisting each in his new duties. Requiring a lot of patience, his job with each new group was always interesting. He recalls amusing incidents that took place during his five years with the Bulletin. In leaving, Joe termed The Plainsman as "one of the best college papers." Present staff members quickly responded and termed him "a first-rate make-up man and a top-notch individual." Portuguese Educator Studies Auburn Clubs Arnaldo Rodriques de Sousa, principal of an agricultural high school in Lisbon, Portugal, was in Auburn last week studying the organization of 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers of America. Sousa is visiting the United States as a guest of the federal government. Since there are no agricultural organizations for farm youths in Portugal, he plans to take back ideas for setting up clubs similar to 4-H and F.F.A. The Portuguese visitor, an engineer- agronomist, is a graduate of the Technical University of Lisbon.

HALF^HOUR LAUNDRY Elementary Teachers' Futures Bright; Secondary Level Is Highly Competitive' P r e p a r e d by the U.S. Department of Labor Graduates trained for elementary school teaching should find a wide choice of employment opportunities in most s t a t e s this spring. On the other hand, prospective teachers at t h e secondary level will find a highly competitive employment situation in all but a few subject fields. Last year, only one student completed training for elementary teaching for every three who were needed; this year, the shortage will be nearly as acute. The number of students completing preparation for high school teaching in 1949 was four times as great as the demand; the oversupply in 1950 is expected to be even greater. The need for teachers in elementary schools will continue to increase over the next several years. According to a recent study by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, enrollments in grades 1 to 8 will probably rise sharply for the next seven years in most states and then level off. The total number of elementary teaching positions will therefore increase considerably, perhaps by more than 260,000 in the next seven years. The number of new teachers required annually will be the greatest about 1953, the year when the sharpest increase in enrollments is expected. Many more new teachers are required each year as replacements than for new positions, even in the current period of rapid growth of elementary school population. On the basis of a conservative rate of 7 per cent, it is estimated that over half a million elementary teachers will be required in the next 10 years to replace those who die, retire, or leave the classrooms for other reasons. The numioer oi young people taking training for elementary teaching will depend, in the future as in the past, chiefly on the other employment opportunities available and the relative salaries offered. If general economic conditions should become less favorable and there should be considerable unemployment, the supply of elementary teachers might become such that keen competition would develop. Secondary Teachers Strong competition for high school teaching positions is expected in the country as a whole for the next few years at least. However, the distribution of teachers by locality and by subject field is such that some schools suffer shortages while others have many applicants for each job. With few exceptions, shortages are now limited to rural areas and such special subject fields as home economics. The greatest oversupply in most states is in men's physical education, the social sciences, and English. It is likely that education and experience requirements will be raised, in line with the prewar trend. Students taking training for high school teaching should plan to get a master's degree in order to qualify for the best employment opportunities. Enrollments in grades 9 to 12 are expected to decline until about 1952. Therefore, the need for high school teachers will be limited largely to replacements for the next few years. After 1952, enrollments will probably rise slowly for the following three years and then increase rapidly into the 1960s.

College Make Hawkins Headquarters For All Your College Needs Phone 356 **im Work Needed On Unfinished Projects As we come to the end of another school year we look back over the events and happenings which have made this school term stand out in our minds. The Plainsman during the past year has tried diligently to bring to the students a first hand coverage of news of campus affairs as well as an editorial analysis of certain campus problems. During fhe year we have reported several causes which we believe to be moves for the betterment of Auburn. Such programs as a Student Union Building and student representation on the Disciplinary Board have met with favorable reaction to college officials. Both ideas are now placed squarely before college authorities and action will be taken in the near future. Action on the Disciplinary Board seat should be taken this quarter if the committee is to be put in a sounder position during the. coining school year. However, we have not been too successful with • other programs which we have plugged in the editorial columns. The much needed teacher evaluation system and a campus-operated book' exchange are two projects which we feel should be adopted. We have pushed the teacher evaluation plan hard during the past five quarters, yet officials have not offered an administrative policy on the matter. For the sake pf clarity, such a policy should be announced to students and faculty. In the case of the book exchange on the cmnmis. student leaders are working to draw a sound plan for the establishment of an exchange on the campus. We hope tq carry a definite report on the progress in next week's issue. To point out the desirability of either the teacher, evaluation plan or the book exchange would be only a repetition of over 200 inches of copy devoted to both these subjects in these columns during the past year. Their value is clearly visible. The need for action en these projects is even more glaring. We have enjoyed supporting these projects. We feel that their need is clearly visible on the Auburn campus. In some cases we feel that- stude'nts and college officials are aware of this need; in other instances, neither students nor administration is certain of their opinions on the projects. In either case, we feel that these projects deserve the proper consideration of both students and faculty. If they are approved by both groups, then ad.ministra-ive and sudent leaders should take a stand on the issues involved. All of these projects are too important to risk being overlooked or neglected. The Powers Of The University System College officials have tried for a long time to show the American public the power which the American university system can wield in the influence of national and international affairs. The power of higher learning in moulding American thoughts and principal must be realized if our university system is to grow strong. President James Roscoe Miller of Northwestern University in his inaugural address gave some very thought provoking comment on the power of the university. Stating that "the university is truly a rock for the society of free men," president Miller said that it is a stronghold "because it is an institution which is intensively preoccupied with the activities of the human mind." President Miller's timely comment for all college officials and students states in part: "Thus arises the tremendous power lodged in the university. The greatest power in the world today is not the atom bomb. The human mind that conceived the bomb is a greater power when it operates in an environment of freedom. We have everything to fear when it is curbed and perverted. "In a broad sense, our civilization is the fruit of the university, of a traditional approach to knowledge that is humane and responsible because it cultivates the spirit along with the intellect. "If we have taken this tradition for granted, now is the time to reassert it. "For if, at the same hour that men succeed in splitting the atom, they allow the intellect to be divided from the conscienee, all the achievement of science, the contributions of the world's wealth and to man's comfort, the engineering wonders, are but-a handful of dust. "We must not let this happen. "Higher education in America must adhere to its humane sympathies, and responsible character. "The indispensable condition for this job is freedom. We must continue to maintain universities which can resist political pressure or pressure from organized groups or vested interests. "We must do this or fall victims to the tragic failure that we have already seen demonstrated in our time: the failure to see that it is the enlightenment of the spirit, not the dictates of legislation, that makes men free." The Plainsman Suffers A Loss Publishing The Plainsman this week just didn't seem right, because with this issue we go to press for the first time since we assumed editorship of the paper without the invaluable assistance of Joe Teaver, our make-up man. To know and work with a man as talented an fine as Joe Teaver was a pleasure which few newspaper men will ever experience. His kind, understanding attitude, paired with his firm, yet businesslike manner made him an asset to his profession and his employer. On several occasions we have felt that it would be impossible to meet publication deadline, because of the different problems that arise when publishing a newspaper. However, even under the very greatest of pressure Joe always had a A Tabloid Plainsman With the publication of The Plainsman during the summer quarter, students will see the appearance of the paper in tabloid size. At a recent meeting of the Board of Student Publications, the editor requested that the change from metropolitan to tabloid size be made on a trial basis for the cheerful smile and helping hand to meet any problem. His patience with young inexperienced editors was amazing. He listened attentively and constructively criticized the eager young journalists' plans for making up pages. He treated each idea of the editor with proper consideration and then if he felt that improvement could be made, he handled the situation with the tact of a real gentleman. His suggestion was always an improvement. It is with a touch of regret that we publish this issue of The Plainsman without the aid of Joe Teaver. His smile, his sincerity, and his genuine desire to better each issue of the publication was an inspiration which will always hold a warm spot in the heart of the editor and staff. quarter, and the Board approved the move. This is, we think, a major step in the progress of The Plainsman. In becoming tabloid, this paper will join a large majority of college newspapers which have abandoned the metropolitan size in the last few years.

He's a wine taster'* Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer The public, generally speaking, has long since given up accepting "what they read in the newspapers" as absolutely accurate, truthful, and without error. Too many instances which have disproved this can be cited. Having gotten this major point across, I would like to offer to the public the results of a ed that "Dr. James is much bet-painstaking survey recently completed. Delving back through past issues of'this publication, I picked out several errors—some typographical, others in word order— which tire truly gems. Going way back to the days when the society page was really Society errors •* were plentiful. In naming the "sup p o r t i n g players" of a wedding, o ne write-up said: "Miss Carolyn M a st e r s was the matron of h o n o r , a nd W i l l i a m T. Jenkins was the beset man."

And a "personal" on a prominent faculty member assert- Mcleer ter after being kicked by a horse." The editorial page has had its share of boners through the years. Back in "the days of cautious crusading, one column had type at its top proudly proclaiming that "This columnist has wildest latitude in expressing his views." An editorial reporting a conference claimed that an administrative official "deceived the press Monday." And a more recent editorial piece discussed the "Untied Nations" at some length. News stories have been good places of hiding for miscues. Once a headline on the front page flatly- announced: "Professor Newton Sqeaks at Meeting."-A write-up of an agricultural event related the facts on a cattle show held by some female members of a local 4-H Club.

During the uncertain conditions surrounding' the activity of our nation and the world today we hear such phrases as World Federation, Atlantic Union, United Nations, etc. as an answer to the problem of world peace. We all realize that these plans work on paper. However, why don't they work in reality? We should all realize that the economical and geographical obstacles to unity among peace loving people can be overcome regardless of their size. The one big obstacle to world peace is the lack of the proper attitude on the part of the people. This lack of faith and understanding on the part of the people today is dominant because the people everywhere, are beginning to fear and distrust their neighbors' motives and actions. These doubts and dislikes are fed by the petty prejudices which individuals have built up against each other. These prejudices are sometimes either holdovers from tradition or creations from the play on emotions and the baser elements of life by many leaders. The leaders nurture and fan these petty prejudices into intense hatreds. The purpose of these men is strictly personal. An example of this is the fact that perpetrators of war must have the backing of their people. These war leaders only gained this backing through spreading among their own people deep and unfound prejudices against a nation or people they wish to attack. Witness the hatred of German for Englishman, Frenchman, and Jew fanned to flames by leaders of Nazism; Communism thriving on a prejudice and hatred of Frenchman against German and Englishman, or a Tal-madge, Bilbo, or Connor breeding hatred for members of the Negro race. On down through our history prejudice has been the breeder of fear, hatred, oppression, revolution, and war between the peoples of the world. As a result of all' the ugly offsprings of prejudice we should realize that an eternal vigilance against prejudice is the price and keystone of a democratic society. If there is prejudice in man there can be no democracy; if there is oppression against man there can be no liberty; if there is injustice done to man there can be no peace of mind. The issue is clearly defined. History has proven the faults and damaging results of man's prejudice. Prejudice is the tool of bigots and demagogues, dictators and the evil. Man must choose between either liberty and equality for all, or prejudice, bigotry and the evil results which accompany these detrimental forces. The results being hatred and fear on all sides, loss of control of the government by the people, the placing of race against race, c^ass against class, and finally nation against nation. It therefore remains that if today we are to put truth and realism into our talk of peace and democratic freedom for the world, we must start at the beginning and stamp out the root of war and unrest—prejudice. It is up to us to make our sometimes doubtful democratic nation, truly democratic. Elimination of prejudices will be the first major step in achieving a stronger, more workable democracy in America today. As a result world peace will be nearer. Lucky old us! We are among the some two billion people living in the Atomic Age. If you are in any way prudent, you have been keeping a notebook just chock full of memoranda of these happy times, so you will unfalteringly be able to tell your grandchildren all about the wonderful things which have come to pass during this particular renaissance. Practically a must for any housewife is a new type automatic needle threader. According to the advertisement, this unbelievably simple little machine is designed to save "eyesight, time, and patience," and it "threads needles like magic." With proper training and a little practice, a child can operate the Thread-O-Matic, as it is cleverly named. Here's all you have to do: insert the needle of your choice into the hole in the gleaming plastic top of the device, align the eye of the needle With a gleaming plastic plunger inside, d r a w some thread (any color will do; the Thread-O-Matic is not prejudiced) through a slit in the gleaming plastic case, press a gleaming plastic button on the gleaming plastic side, and withdraw the needle. Voila Tout! The needle is threaded, just as guaranteed. See how easy it is? The Thread-O-Matic may be ordered directly from the manufacturer. The price of the remarkable invention is only $2.95, plus nine cents tax. Postage is paid by the producer, so there is a total charge of only $3.04 for the niftiest little pretty yjou ever did see. If you thread many needles, the Thread-O-Matic will pay for itself in no time. Another milestone of progress in the Atomic Age is the development of anti-rust gasoline. It has been proved 'through impartial tests that copper, silver, and chromium will not rust when immersed in the mixture. The amazing rust-resisting ability of these metals is undoubtedly due to the addition of RD-119, the reddest-hot fuel ingredient in years, to the anti-rust gasoline. Nobody seems to know just what the RD- 119 is made of, but it must be good. One would think that anti-rust gasoline is here to stay, but then one reads of plans for a motor-less car, and one wonders. Dr. A. R. Von Hippel, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has recently made the somewhat startling announcement that barium titanite, whatever that is, can store 10,000 times the amount of electricity than can conventional condensers. Consequently, a crystal the size of a small slot machine can furnish enough power to run your car from here to Wichita and back. Somebody had better get to Work on the problem of producing anti-rust barium titanite. Probably the most important of all the development of the Atomic Age is Slim-O, the effervescing powder which reduces you in the proper places as you sprinkle it on. It has been rumored (that several manufacturers have already begun turning out combination salt, pepper and Slim-O shakers, in order that the little grains of decimating powder may be handy on the table for guests who eat too much. When' your children's children admire your still youthful-looking physical structure, you will be able to pat their little heads and say, "I owe it all to Slim-O." This Atomic Age is really good stuff; now they've figured out the . theoretical part, at least, of how to whip up an H-bomb, which will be a number of times more powerful that the nuclear bomb which rattled windows at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, as far as I am concerned, you may drive around all you want in motorless cars with anti-rust gasoline; you may thread needles all day, every day, with a Thread-O-Matic; you mdy cascade so much Slim-O on yourself that you will waste away to nothing. Again, I don't care what you Ho; but as for me, I'm going to be ready when the Hydrogen Age comes. As soon as the first H-bomb joes off, I'm going to gather a few necessities—things I really need, like mustard plasters and the latest copy of Daring Detective Stories and peanut butter-and- jelly sandwiches—and hibernate for the duration, or at least until the Lithium Age gets here. Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill I see by his column, "The Sports Whirl," that Dennis Smith-erman, sports edior of the Mobile Press, isn't all broken out with happiness over the handling of Auburn's 1950-51 basketball schedule. It seems that Bill Gardiner, Spring Hill basketball coach, wrote to the Auburn schedule-makers, as he has since 1946 if we are to believe Mr. Smither-man, asking them to schedule a game between the Tigers and the Spring Hill quintet. The answer, as per usual Smitherman says, was "no, sorry." This situation _ „ . . . . , . , 'sn'*; particu- ^ ^ a ^ , * *' 1 a r 1 y pleasing to Mr. Smitherman and he proceeded t o wax eloquent about the injustice in Auburn's failing to schedule a basketball game in A^r-flll Mobile. He continued Greenhill along that line that although Auburn athletic teams have never drawn decent crowds in Mobile, it's Auburn's own fault. He said, "Who or what is Aruburn to the average Mobi-lian? . .'. a team they read about on the sports pages occasionally, but a school they very seldom have the opportunity to come in close contact with. Why? Because Auburn won't make itself known to Mobile and Mobilians . . . It (Mobile) hasn't shown that it will support Auburn's football team— most likely it would when the opportunity presents itself again —as long as Auburn hasn't something to offer. That's what's been lacking in the past appearances here of the Plainsmen's grid' teams." . Well, Dennis old boy, I'd like to appoint myself unofficial spokesman for Auburn and present you with a little rebuttal. First, let's look at what you said about the past appearances of the Auburn football team. So we haven't had anything to offer, huh! How about naming me a trio of Mobile-played games that can compare with the Clemson games of the past two years and the Florida game last season as to spectator appeal? That's right, you can't, and yet weren't the financial records for these contests written in red ink? I hear that stadium down there seats some 35,000 but I'll bet 15,- 000 is a liberal estimate of the crowd in each case. What I want to know is who's shunning whom? Now let's look at the reasons for the Tigers not going out of their way to play in Mobile (overlooking the undermanned crowd angle). First, what can Auburn gain by playing Spring Hill in Mobile? There are a number of teams we'd like to play but let's look at it practically. Granted that the Mobile quintet would furnish decent competition, but does Mobile have a gymnasium large enough to hold more than half the number of people that can be seated in the A.P.I, sports arena (presuming that the Mobile gym would be filled)? Second, since we need a bit of that filthy lucre to use in improving our athletics and therefore enable ourselves to have something to offer, these games we play must make money. Could we be sure that a Mobile tilt would be economically feasible? Last, and something you are obviously unaware of Mr. Smitherman, ever since the olden days when Johnny and Fanny were just proper nouns, Auburn has ketball has been a student sport. It has been the policy, and a very admirable policy it is, to play as many games as possible before home crowds. Too often Dennis, colleges in the present-day commercialized athletic set-up, tend to forget students for the sake of the almighty dollar. Here at Auburn, we try to hit the medium and play more games on the home court, play before the greatest possible number of spectators and also to stay in the black financially. Can you see our position? We don't hate you Mobilians; indeed the Mobile alumni have been very good to the school and having shown that they have the school's best interests at heart, they obviously will agree that we need to be practical about this thing. Nope Dennis, we aren't slighting you all; we're just being rational under present conditions. Cannon Report By Tom Cannon According to an Associated Press dispatch, the new governor and legislature will not be butting heads with each other as these two instruments of government have been doing for the past four years. During Governor Folsom's administration, m a n y projects _nat would have been valuable tu the state have been neglected, simply because neither side was willing to give in to each other. Governor-designate Persons, it is reported, plans to see • each senator and representative personally within the next few mon- . ths. Mr. Persons will point out to the legislator the things that he would like to put through as governor, and then ask him what he thinks. Such a program should get the Person administration off to a good start. To me, this step on ^ the part of the governor-designate indicates that we may expect a progressive, business-like state government. Mr. Persons is going to need a cooperative House and Senate if he is to put through such reforms as reapportionment and the $3 tag. Since any governor who attempts to carry out a strong program meets with bitter opposition from some quarters, tactful and judicious handling of the legislature is of primary importance. However, Persons will find himself in a good bargaining position. In addition to the appointments that a chief executive ordinarily makes, there are many Folsom appointees who have never been confirmed by the Senate. The new governor will be able to fill these posts with his own men. Whether we like it or not, patronage still greatly influences politicians. Mr. Persons is quoted as saying his will be "a businesslike administration, straight down the middle." From the straight-forward manner in which he proposes to meet the legislators, his administration promises to be successful. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Various persons and organizations have spent considerable wind and paper in an attempt to evaluate teachers and there-by supposedly raise t h e educational standards of the school. At least the latter is mentioned once in a while. But the main feature seems to be the professor popularity con- \ test. Perhaps, the tables should be turned and the professors rate the students. This is different and quite an outrageous statement, right? Then how about rating both at the safne time, fair enough? First let's consider the evaluation of the teacher by the students. 1. Do the students have previous knowledge of the instructor? \ 2. Are they prejudiced due tt^ their attitude and to his assign- * ments? 3. Can they actually tell if anyone else could teach the course any better? 4. Do they actually k n ow whether they have learned anything or just enjoyed or disliked the class? These questions may be answered as you please. However, let's hope that you agree to the following: 1. Students have little previous knowledge of the professor as to his education, interests,.or personality, except by gossip and the catalog. Most of the gossip is that he is good, bad, or "crip." That is teacher rating, isn't it? How many of you can say that the rating will hold? 2. An overbearing and discourteous teacher who requires considerable homework doesn't rate at the top of anyone's list. But his requirements sometimes force the student to learn more in spite of himself than the students under easier instructors. You wouldn't want to hurt anyone who treated you well and gave you a good grade, would you? But how about someone who tried to teach you something? 3. Few can qualify as competent judges even if they take the same course under two different instructors. Even fewer students investigate all of the possible instructors of a certain course and then come to a decision as to which one consistently teaches his students more. 4. Few people can actually judge by instructors' quizzes just what they have or have not learned in the course. When this small evaluation is taken away there is no organization whatsoever to judge what was learned, forgotten, or skipped. (Continued on page 8) \ / T I • Preview Of 1950 Edition Of Auburn Football Eleven Tigers, Struggling Up In SEC Standings, Rely On Speed To Offset Loss Of '49 Line By Jimmy Coleman A.P.I. Sports Publicity Director Picked for the cellar last year,.Auburn fooled the experts by knocking off Mississippi State and Alabama, tying Georgia, Florida, and Clemson, and ending the season in a deadlock for eighth place with Ole Miss in the SEC standings. When the Plainsmen upset three-touchdown, favorite Alabama last December, writers be gan calling Auburn "the team to watch in 1950." Auburn, no doubt, would be a dangerous threat if that same team were intact today. The real story is that all the offensive linemen who played TOP TACKLE HAILED AS ONE of the most promising young linesmen in the South last fall as a sophomore, Foots Bauer (above) is being counted on to help stabilize Auburn's forewall in the Tigers' 10- game schedule this fall. From Montgomery, he stands an even six feet and weighs 205. such a great game along with Travis Tidwell finished their eligibility when the final whistle »sounded that day. But despite this loss, the Plainsmen will have more speed and confidence than they possessed a year ago. Coach Earl Brown's greatest loss in material was at the tackles. Gone are Max Autrey, John Adcock, and Arnold Fagen. On hand to replace these seasoned veterans are two lettermen—Ed (Foots) fiauer, Montgomery, and Ted Varano, Chester, Pa., both juniors this fall. Bauer Expected to Star Bauer, hailed as one of the finest first-year linemen in the land last season, is regarded by- Brown and Tackle Coach Ralph Slaten as the lineman to watch in the SEC this fall. Slaten, a pretty good tackle himself at Georgia Tech under W. A. Alexander and Bobby Dodd, flatly declares Bauer to have no equal in the conference. For reserve strength with experience, Brown wisely moved End Bobby Reaver to tackle where he'll be used offensively. He's the big boy who dropped back to punt for the Plainsmen during 1948 and the early part of 1949 until Tidwell and Jim Mc- Gowen took over his job Two other juniors who show promise are Harold Harris, Line-ville, and Joe Tiburzi, Chester, Pa. Harris, a diligent blond youngster, showed vast improvement in spring drills and will be given a' chance to prove himself in action. Tiburzi, at 230-pounds, looked good in spots as a defensive bulwark this spring, but doesn't move fast enough to merit offensive duty. Three other hefty —but - u n t r i e d sophomores— round out the reserves. All Alabama boys, they are Sam Hanks, Evergreen; Mort Vaserberg, Birmingham; and Breece Barley, Florence. Centers At center, Bill Hogarth, a senior from Miami, Fla., is the number- one offensive man replacing Alternate-Captain Coker Barton. A sophomore, Guy Bruce, Bessemer, i s being g r o o m e d to help offensively, and a transferee —Tommy Page, of Bay Minette— might help. Frank Hayes, a dependable linebacker, is gone via the graduation route, but two fine defensive players are on hand to replace him. They are Homer Williams, Greensboro, and John Crolla, MOVING UP BILL TUCKER (above) and Allan Parks will be battling each other to fill the shoes of "Travel-in' Travis" Tidwell at the quarterback position for the Auburn Tigers this fall. Tucker will probably do most of the passing while Parks is an expert ball-handler. Dudley Spence, a sophomore, will be in reserve and is expected to see occasional duty. Chicago, 111. Williams.was placed RACK AT GUARD ori the first-string Associated j .— Press All-Sophomore team last | season. Ends Coach Shot Senn's flankmen will be without the services of | tough Capt. Ralph Pyburn and pass-snagging Erskine Russell, but are expected to make a good showing, nevertheless. Lettermen Virgil Willett, Tallahassee, Fla., and Fred Duart, Jamaica, N.Y., are back but Duart's starting position is in peril by virtue of promising Gene Mulhall, a rangy Windy City lad rated as a sophomore because he was held from action last season. Juniors expected to see duty are Charlie Justo and Tommy Edwards, Birmingham, and David Ridgway, Jackson, Miss. Of the upcoming sophomores from last year's freshman squad, Lee Hay-ley, Birmingham, and E r i ch Sauerbrey, Macon, Ga., have been consistent standouts. Five others will come in for reserve strength, but will need valuable experience. They arc Bill McMurry, Fairfield; Ernest Baker, Camden, S.C.; Ed Dupree, Renfro; % Jimmy Cline, LaGrange, Ga.; Bobby Crump, Auburn. Banks Great At Guard At guard, Tom Banks, the pugilist- looking Birmingham boy who made all the all-opponent teams last year, will be in the thick of running for S.E.C. laurels with teammates Bauer and Capt. Jim McGowen. If line reserves show up well, Banks and Bauer could make Auburn's line one of the most formidable in the conference. Jack Lambert, Gadsden; Frank Jones, Brewton; and Jim Brooks, Philadelphia, Pa., are returning letter-men who will help. In addition, 190-pound Danny Stewart, Birmingham, who was tried at center, has been moved to add reserve strength at guard. He lettered as a fullback in 1948. Sophomore Bobby Rhed, * an All-America prep selection at Mc- Comb, Miss., might find himself in the*thick of battle this fall. He now holds an edge over Senior Dan Mantrone, a 1948 letterman. Sophs who will be battling each other for favored positions are Foy Thompson, Camden, S.C.; Mauro Grosso, New Brunswick, TOUGH but good-natured Tom Banks (above) attracted attention as being one of the best guards in the conference last season. He made all the all-opponent teams with his tireless and relentless charging that cost the opposition many a yard. Banks was a Little Ail-American at Ellisville Junior College, Miss., before coming to Auburn as a junior transferee last season. He might end up on the All-SEC team at the end of the 1950 season. parted Tidwell, it can be said that eventually spelled upset for Ala- N.J.; Bobby Drake, Montgomery; Wyman Gibson, Decatur; and Jimmy Allison, Phenix C i t y. Thompson, Drake and Grosso have an edge over the others. Tidwell Gone Quarterback Travis Tidwell, voted most outstanding in the S. E.C. and most valuable in America by the Williamson System, will play his football for the professional New York Giants this fall. Two juniors, Bill Tucker and Allan Parks, made equal showings in Spring practice, so to the question "who will replace Tidwell?"— there it no real answer. Tucker, by virtue of his edge in playing time over Parks as a sophomore, might be ceded a very slight edge over his Jackson, Miss., rival. Actually they are two separate types—Tucker, the flashy passer; Parks, the smooth ball-handler and leader of men. In comparing Tucker to the de- Tucker is the more daring of the two. He loves to take chances and generally has been successful. Some observers rate him close to Vito Parilli as a passer. By Tidwell's own admission, Tucker throws a prettier pass than the "Travelin' Man." But whether or not he will be as effective as Tidwell remains to be seen. Last season he threw 37 passes, completing 13 for 284 yards (an average of almost 22 per pass), three going for touchdowns. He kicked 15 of 19 extra points and one field goal. Dudley Spence, a sophomore who made All-Southern as a quarterback at McComb, Miss. High, will come along behind Parks and Tucker. Need Breakaways What Brown and Backfield Coach Johnny Murphy c r a ve most is a genuine breakaway runner. They're eyeing three youngsters that may fill the bill: Jim (Fireplug) Jeffers, a Cnicago youngster who set a 220-yard dash record in high school; Dickie P l o u r n o y , t h e Salem 1 a d who gained fame as 880-champion in the SEC; and Albert (Crazy Legs) Woodham, of Albany, Ga. Left Halfbacks Flournoy, used mostly on defense last season, proved he can also run with the pigskin this spring and heads a list of candidates who will be fighting tooth and nail all fall for playing bids. Bill Davis, a long-striding senior from Corinth, Miss., will be used as a kickoff return specialist, pass receiver, and runner. Dwight Hitt, Jackson, Miss., a junior who played more than any other sophomore on the squad last season, plays defense, offense, and is expected to be used as a punt returner. Another junior who was a standout as a soph—155-pound Bobby Golden of Decatur— will continue to prove that he's one of the pluckiest little fellows in collegiate football today. He's a terrific blocker, tackier, a good pass receiver, and follows his interference with uncanny skill. Right Halfbacks Johnny Wallis, the number-one right halfback, is back for his final year. This stocky Birmingham lad intercepted the pass that bama last December and he is noted for his jarring tackles on defense. With a little more speed, his possibilities as a gridder would be unlimited. On hand to split offensive right half chores with Wallis and FB-RHB Jeffers is Bobby Briggs, a 6-1, 195-pound specimen from Leonia, N.J. who was terrific last season as a pass receiver and runner. He took in seven aerials for 222 yards and three touchdowns (average 31.7 yards per catch). In 29 rushing attempts from scrimmage, Briggs averaged 4.1 yards per try. His record would have been better, no doubt, had he not missed the last three games because, of a broken collarbone. Rigas Copstias, Americus, Ga., and Johnny Gibson, Birmingham, r o u n d out the left half sophomore reserves while Percy Alford, Birmingham, Bobby Salmon, Auburn, and two New Yorkers— Fred Halbig, Baldwin, and Don Phillips, Buffalo, close out the sophs at right half. Phillips was tried at quarterback but his fine work as a defensive safety landed him a job there. Alford, a long-legged former end, showed well on offense and defense in spring drills. Halbig is a speed merchant and Salmon has shown promise defensively. Fullbacks There is-a concentration of talent at fullback. The position is not only four-deep, but talented. Captain-elect Jim McGowen, Empire, heads the l i s t w i th Charlie Langner, Birmingham; Jim Jeffers, Chicago; and bright-star- on-the-horizon Don (Bobo) Blackerby, Bessemer, close on his heels. McGowen and Langner, both seniors, have proved their prowess— McGowen as a runner, passer, blocker, receiver, and above average punter; Langner as a straightaway power runner. He finished last season with 405 net yards at 3.6 yards per clip. McGowen (whose older brother, Dick, captained Auburn 10 years ago) fractured his wrist in the season's opener last year and was out until the Mississippi State game. He punted only 23 times which included several intentional out-of-bounds efforts, yet averaged 39.5 yards per kick. Blackerby is rated as one of Auburn's two top sophomore prospects for '50. (The other is End Gene Mulhall). A bruising 205-pounder on a rugged six-foot frame, this sod-burning power runner outdid Georgia's celebrated Lauren Hargrove when the Baby Tigers nailed the Georgia frosh last season and was also the leading ground-gainer, overshadowing Alabama's top sophomore prospect, Bobby Marlow, against the Baby Tide. TO LEAD TIGERS JIM MCGOWEN A TALENTED PLAYER who can do practically anything with the pigskin, Capt.-elect and Fullback Jim McGowen will lead Auburn's Tigers into their 1950 campaign against record-setting Wof-ford College in Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, Sept. 22. \r Co ngratulations TO The Glomerata Staff On The Early Completion of ™Thel950 Yearbook" WE ARE SURE THAT IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST ANNUALS EVER.

The varsity smashed to a convincing 76% and 49V2 while the freshmen, scoring only firsts, triumphed 10-4. Jim Dillion, Auburn frosh sensation, unofficially bettered the S. E.C. discus record with a toss of 157 feet 8V2 inches. Millard White of Tulane set the present record in 1939 at 154 feet 1% inches. Dillion also won the shot put with a 43 feet 5% inches'effort. While the varsity squads divided first place honors Coach Wilbur Hutsell's flying Plainsmen picked up sufficient second and third place finishes to turn what had been predicted as a close meet into an easy triumph for the invaders. Overton took things easy in the 4:43 mile to finish in a tie with teammates Mitchell and Steele and came back with a 9:54.9 two-mile, propping for the S.E.C. meet in Birmingham this weekend. Jack DeMedicis, Auburn hurlcr, lost his shoe on the second hurdle in the 120-highs but finished second. Mitchell again beat Flournoy in the 880 in 1:57.7. Auburn's Bauer, Bailey, and Luck swept the discus in that order. Tech's Stowers breezed to a fine :48.2 win in the 440 ahead of Flournoy. Stowers inched by Auburn's Walker in the 220 after Walker won the 100 in 9.8. GRADUATES!

Buddy DeBardeleben, of Birmingham, Pat Poyner. Dothan, Skippy Weatherby, Mobile, and Allan Bates, Selma, turned in a four-ball, 18-hole score of 275 which is 13 strokes under the regulation 288 for the par 72 Columbus (Ga.) Country Club course. In addition, DeBardeleben and Poyner carded a low-ball score of 59 for their 18-hole tour. A close check on available records failed to show a collegiate - foursome score or low-ball mark to equal this feat. The Auburn linksmen singed the Georgia .fairways and mastered the greens in their action against the Capstoners, to turn in the best individual performances of their college careers. DeBardeleben, Poyner, and Weatherby negotiated the layout in 67 strokes while Bates came home with a two-over par 74 to give Auburn a "perfect score," 81-0, win over 'bama. Brother, that's golf! Prof. George W. Hargreaves, Auburn golf coach, labeled the match, ". . .the most spectacular play, amateur or professional, I've ever seen." Golf, a minor sport on the athletic slate, has been a consistent strong point on the Tiger's intercollegiate-record. DeBardeleben and Poyner are rounding out their third year with the Tigers. Both graduate in June as does Bates. Weatherby is a sophomore. In the past three years Auburn has won 16 matches, lost but two and tied one in SEC competition. The Auburn foursome was runner-up in this year's SEC tourney held in Athens, Ga., April 27-28-29. In southern golf circles the fame of Auburn's golfers is established. Jack Key, having played number one position, was lost to the Plainsmen this season for he had finished his four years of eligibility. The Columbus, Ga., ace holds a long "list of golfing titles and is rated one of the top Southern amatuers. He is the Georgia state champion, twice champ of the Columbus Country Club, runner-up in the Tennessee Valley invitation tourney and winner of numerous club tournaments. DeBardeleben won the Birmingham invitational tournament this year and was second in the state last summer. South Alabama golfers are close followers of the long-hitting Poyner. You don't see too much of the golfer's work. Home course for the Plainsmen is the Saugahatchee Course off the Opelika highway and they're "at it just about every afternoon from the first day of school in the fall right through the spring's matches, perfecting and practicing, what, to the dub, appears an already mastered art. * * * "Wall Of Fame" The Tiger theatre has begun an ambitious plan to preserve for future Auburn followers a durable reminder of the past glory of nationally renowned Auburn athletes. On a wall inside the lobby of the theatre two plaques now hang bearing the footprint, handprint, and signature of two of Auburn's all-time greats: Whitey Overton, and Travis Tidwell. These plaques were "signed" Monday night by the charter members" of the theatre's "Wall- of Fame." Jimmy Hitchcock, an All- American in 1932 from Auburn, was master of ceremonies at the program whereby Overton and Tidwell made their marks. Athletic Director Wilbur Hutsell and Coach Earl Brown were on hand to help inaugurate the scheme. Coach Hutsell praised the idea as ". . .a grand idea. These fine athletes who have meant so much to Auburn will have their marks and the boys selected w i l l , I'm sure, feel honored beyond words." Tiger Cindermen Ready For SEC Meet In Birmingham; Alabama Is Favorite By Stuart Stephenson Birmingham's Legion Field will provide the cinder path for this year's SEC track and field championship to be run Friday and Saturday. The SEC's best are prepping to dethrone the' Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets with Coach Tom Lieb's 'Bama Tide rated the most likely to don the crown. 'Bama's balance gives them the Overton Stands Out In last year's meet, Auburn's great Whitey Overton turned in a brilliant exhibition of distance running. The Montgomery Marvel broke the tape first in the mile and two-mile runs—both in the same afternoon to set a new ^ SEC "first." Having run within two-tenths of a second of the existing SEC mile mark this season and 3.9 seconds better than the two-mile mark, Whitey is set to run his greatest races for Auburn. It will be the last SEC competition for the blond Olym pic ace. , Travis Tidvyell was first to plant his foot in the plaster of pa-ris mold. Coach Brown assisted the grid star in making the impression. As Whitey Overton placed his size -11 shoe upon the mold Coach Hutsell quipped, -"This is one time a foot is certainly more than 12 inches." Hitchcock paid tribute to the Auburn track star as ". . .the greatest distance runner the South has ever produced." Cheerleaders Herman Blagg and Jack Orcutt were on hand to lead the tradiational 'War Eagle" cheer for Tidwell and Overton, and close the first "Wall of Fame" program. Theatre Manager George Devours originated the plan along the lines of Sid Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and other "halls of fame." The plan is a sound one and should pro,ve an outstanding addition to the overall "Auburn spirit." Membership in the "Wall of Fame" will be decided upon by a selection committee composed of the athletic director, head football coach, and theatre manager. nod for this meet but dopesters warn of others' might. Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Tigers rate more than passing comment for their abilities. Whitey Overton, Jack DeMedicis and Dickie Flournoy will lead the Plainsmen. Overton and Flournoy are SEC title holders in the mile, two-mile, and half-mile runs with DeMedicis a strong contender for honors on the strength of his having tied the time of last year's champ, Auburn's Joe Pennington, with 14.5 seconds for the 120-yard high hurdles. Tech is given but scant attention in this year's pickings since they lost the services of Buddy Fowlkes and Red Smith. Fowlkes picked up 14 points last year in the dashes, hurdles, and broad jump. However, the Techmen have hope in Jim Stowers for the 440 and 220, and Bob Renshaw in the 880. Renshaw was beaten by Auburn's Flournoy for the 880- title last year. Ben Sutton, long-legged hope of Coach Spec Towns' Georgia Bulldogs, figures to score in the 220 and the quarter-mile. Paul Bienz, stocky bolt of Green Wave lightning will lead a stronger-than-usual Tulane aggregation unto the Magic City cinders. Should Bienz cop firsts in the 100 and 220 dashes, it will be the third straight year he has done the trick. ., L.S.U., winner of 13 SEC crowns, must be considered as well as a strong Florida team. Hugo Nutini could give the half-milers a lot of trouble, and the Chilean PDT, and SPE, 1 each half-mile champ is determined to j ~ give conference champion Overton ' a closer race in the mile.

The Tigers won a G-4 game from the Nashville nine on their home diamond Monday with Gene Hoehle and Bill Fih-layson handling throwing duties. Vanderbilt appears as t he "jinx" team for Auburn in all sports. The Plainsmen have never rolled over the Black and Gold Nashvillians in any sport nor have the Commodores failed to present a strong aggregration when tagged to do otherwise. The week end's contest should provide Tiger fans with the best showing of the season. Auburn's sophomore infield of Ray Dean at third, Harvey Camp at short and Hoehle at first will wind up their first varstiy year. Captain Dick Webb, a junior, at second will lead the Tigers for their last '49 efforts. In the outfield Julian Mock, Joe Sterling, and Dan Gilmore will roam the greensward.

Five teams failed to qualify in the tournament for^lack of play- Crimson Tide Takes Third Diamond Win From Auburn Nine By Bill McArdle Alabama's big bats gave them their third consecutive victory over Auburn's baseballers Saturday, but it took a three-run homer by Tiger nemesis George Howell to do it. Howell, who blasted a 4- run homer in one of the two teams' previous meetings at Auburn, drove in five of the Tide's nine runs as they triumphed, 9-7. Two games were originally scheduled for the week end, but! rain postponed the Friday game and also the attempt to make it up after the game Saturday. George Hill went the distance for the Tigers and limited the Tide to five hits. However, he gave up 10 bases on balls and the Tiders came through in the clutches.

Hawkins, to mention another freak of nature, is experimenting with seedless watermelons," and a story dealing with a new method of losing weight reported that one formerly plump coed had been* seducing for some time. Even advertisements have had their share of blunders. A local bookstore was, twice-blest one week, in announcing a new system of sales which should produce a maximum of confusion but at the same time offer oGod prices for used books. A classified ad which was run hvone issue announced: "For Sale —Young dressed hens. Absolutely clean and ready for the rooster." But probably the choicest error of all was an announcement by a, prosperous nearby factory which claimed that it had played an important role in the growth of this community! Letter -+- Theta Epsilon To Meet Tomorrow In Smith Hall Theta Epsilon, home economics honor society, will meet at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 18, in Smith Hall.

All members are '.urged to attend by Theta Epsilon officers. (Continued from page 4) Secondly, let's consider t he teacher's evaluation by the students. 1. Does he give representative or trick quizzes? 2. Does he teach the quiz?— "Now get this, for next week, I'll ask it." 3. Is he afraid of comparison? Can you be sure that his "A" student would compare with the "C" student of another professor? 4. Does he rush through his grading or just wait and let the students worry. 5. Don't quizzes require considerably more work from the careful instructor than from the sloppy instructor? 6. Are old quizzes available? 7. Does he scale grades, scale quizzes, or grade on the curve. 8. Does he have a basis for a normal curve? These questions give some idea of the problem faced by the instructor and the student when individual type examinations are given. Now let's consider how to rate both students and instructor: especially by comprehensive standardized examinations, which meet the following recommendations: 1. The examinations would cover all material which is recognized as being valuable to the field, would be covered and graded according to the value agreed on by department heads at Auburn and other schools, authors of text books, and consulting editors of publications on the subject. This would allow for introduction of new materials and also prevent pet projects from being shoved onto the students. The teacher should be required to teach all basic material of the course, then he could teach all other material as he saw fit. This would be similar to the present method of skipping or taking text book chapters at the teacher's discretion. 2. The material would require thoughtful application; not parroting or memorizing of a particular teacher's views. 3. These examinations would not necessarily be of the Sears-Roebuck type. School instructors could submit sample questions along with those of other schools and then an evaluated and compiled examination could be prepared and submitted for approval. 4. Great care should be exercised sto prevent either the students or instructors from obtaining the examinations. 5. There should be a central department whose job it would be to compile, publish, administer and grade these examinations. Another function of the department would be to contact graduates and obtain their opinion and rating on courses and instruction which they had received. 6. The examinations should meet these and more requirements, and be of the nature of Placement, Civil Service, an dGraduate examinations with the exception that only one particular course is covered. After setting up requirements or considerations of standardized examinations we should next consider ther use and value. 1. The student could show all that he had learned and also discover what he had not learned. The latter is conspicious by its absence at this school. 2. Accurate records and statistics would allow greater comparison and evaluation of the students according to his performance in comparison to other students, past and present, at Auburn and at other school. Then employers and teachers could better judge the aptitude and potentialities of the students. 3. Class averages could be used to judge individual instructors by comparing them with fellow instructors at Auburn and elsewhere. Investigation would show what had been taught and what was learned. Also, any progress or deterioration in teaching proficiency could be noted. 4. Student prejudice would be considerably reduced as the student would receive his grade while also indirectly rating his instructor. 5: The teacher's work load would be considerably reduced or rather changed to more constructive efforts. 6. The teacher's opinion; per-sonal^ views and recommendations should be entirely separate and entered separately upon the students record in a written form just as a job recommendation. Then the opinions could be viewed as such by employers. 7. The school's main interest should be of the scholastic rating while the student should take an interest in both scholastic ratingi and teacher recommendations. 8. This should encourage better students and teacher relations and greater mutual aid. The teacher instead of being the students' enemy would be an ally in the fight against the common enemy, the examination. Derrogatory terms such as foot-lickers, apple-polisher, etc., should become less frequent as the teacher's interest is in what the student may show scholastically and not in what is shown in pseudo-interest. These are some of the advantages and recommendations which we should like to make. The disadvantages, opposition and excuses will doubtlessly be admirably supplied by other sources.
