New Registration Procedure Adopted;
Spring Scheduling Starts Tomorrow
The Registrar's Office recently announced a n ew plan for
r e g i s t r a t i o n procedure, approved on a trial basis by the
Council of Deans. According to r e g i s t r a t i o n officials, the n ew
s y s t em is aimed at "eliminating confusion caused by closing
out of sections and the necessity of making changes in stu­dent
registrations without the
knowledge of the student con­cerned."
Officials said the plan calls for
the student's taking his card with
recommended schedule to the de­partments
offering t h e courses
listed. The department head or
his representative will issue the
proper class card, if entrance into
the desired class is available.
When the student h a s secured
class cards for all subjects listed,
he will complete all registration
forms and leave them with his
dean or dean's representative.
A spokesman for the adminis­tration
said, "It is hoped that un­der
this plan the student will se­cure
a more satisfactory schedule
than formerly, when the dean's
representative was responsible
for making schedule changes
when sections were closed, not
always wholly satisfactory to the
student. We feel t h a t students
will cooperate in giving the new
plan a fair trial. We are asking
students to take particular care
of the punched cards issued by
departments."
Detailed information on the
new plan will be issued each stu­dent
when reporting to the dean
for planning of schedule.
Dates for pie-registration for
spring quarter by classes are:
Seniors — Thursday, Feb. 16-
Friday, Feb. 17.
Juniors — Monday, Feb. 20-
Tuesday, Feb. 21.
Sophomores — Thursday, Feb.
23-Friday, Feb. 24.
Freshmen — Monday, Feb. 27-

Persons Addresses
Business Society
Gordon Persons, president of
Alabama Public Service Commis­sion
and a candidate for governor,
addressed the members of Delta
Sigma Pi business .honorary so­ciety
on Wednesday, Feb. 8 in the
new building.
Persons gave a detailed talk on
the Commission, explaining its
work and functions.
The Commission limits utilities
under its supervision to profits of
six to seven per cent of their total
investments, Persons stated. The
statute under which the Commis­sion
operates provides that public
utilities shall be regulated to this
degree.
Persons said that the philosophy
behind the Public Service Com­mission
Act is that electric com­panies,
telephone companies, wa­ter
companies and other utilities
enjoy monopolies, and for that
reason they must be regulated in
the public interest.

beings ifelid the wa*rnth of human com­panionship,
flfcjfti, with all his prejudices,
lnVgi-efcd; arid His bHndneSS', lias today the
capacity for total self-destruction. When
we corner down to the essentials, we inevi­tably
find that only thrbugh the concept
of brotherhood is there any hope for hu­man
life on this planet.
Our modern world is one of confusion
because too many people, including many
Americans, are controlled by the many
man-made economic, political, racial and
religious prejudices which can be found
everywhere. Refusal to recognize these
powerful barriers to peace has caused the
people of the world to become clannish.
They do not realize that the tyg^Sf.fel­lowship
which God wants 'i^the^^ff^
today cannot be formed by a man-made
social order, but that it must be formed
by Christian love and brotherhood.
Dr. Ralph J. Bunche's comment that
"the world in which we! live is made dan­gerous
by mankind's shocking illiteracy
in human relations" is a clear analysis of
the disease which has seized our' world.
As Dr. Bunche continued:
"Who Can doubt' that in this atomic age
there is anything so sorely needed as a*
universal recognition of a bond of kinship
among peoples, the realization of the bro­therhood
of man irrespective of differen­ces
in race, creed, culture or ideology?
The real foundation for peace must be
built in the hearts and minds of men.
There is but one road to peace, and that is
the road of human understanding and
brotherhood."
This "brotherhood and understanding"
must first be sought for here in our en­vironment.
We must set our own house in
order. So long as conditions are such in
our own state that certain individuals are
denied the right to vote; that un-ChriStlan
groups may use ruthless tactics to carry
out prejudices; that state feeling is such
that a college cannot allow a Negro band
to play on its campus, and that political
demagogues capitalize on emotions arid
prejudices, this peace canrtot be found.
We must realize that all men are broth­ers,
or if they are not brothers, our world
is doomed- One week is a brief time in
which to learn this. It is not long enough.
Instead, if we are to attain this peace,
which is essential to our own existence,
we must learn for eternity.
Punishment Out of Proportion
:
The Council of Deans has ruled that
"effective the spring quarter, 1950, any
student having an unexcused absence im­mediately
preceeding or following holidays
which begin and end within a quarter-namely
Thanksgiving and Independence
Day— shall be placed on probation for the
remainder of that quarter. This probation
shall bear the same significance as a pro­bation
incurred for attaining less than a
1.00 average arid/or failing to pass at least
ten hour's work." Thus reads a letter cir­culated
to persons having previous unex­cused
cuts at the above named times.
Not only do we feel that this ruling
should have been made known to all stu­dents
and faculty members before now,
Note To Metropolitan Press
The large newspapers of the country
could with far better grace and effect crit­icise
Hollywood and its products such as
Ingrid Bergman and Rita Hayworth if they
stopped to examine their own senses of
values;
For a time sex murders captured top
front page positions in most of the even­ing
papers. Only a strike threat by John L.
Lewis or a Vishinsky blast at the United
Nations could vie with detailed step-by-step
gOry accounts of such crimes for the
biggest headlines. ,
The men who evaluate the news for the
metropolitan press were saved from hav-
Can We Be Good Winners?
The Auburn varsity basketball sche­dule
calls for two more games on the
home Court—one of these the all-impor­tant
meeting, from a standpoint of rivalry,
with the University of Alabama Satur­day
night.
During the past few games in the lo­cal
arenas a growing attitude of discourt­esy
among the fans has been in evidence.
Most of this undesirable rudeness has been
aimed at the games' officials, some at
members of the opposing team.
The game with Alabama, a major rival,
will be a good testing groiind to see if a
sportsmanlike attitude can be reinstated
at the Plains. Spectators are not justified
but we also believe that the Council of
Deans has carried the question to the ex­treme.
We don't condone indiscriminate cut­ting
of class but since the general rule here
is to allow a limited number of cuts during
a quarter, we cannot see why a cut taken
prior to Thanksgiving or the Fourth of
July is any more injurious to one's educa­tional
progress than a cut taken at any
other time.
Surely, the serious punishment of pro­bation
is out of proportion with the import
of pre-holiday cutting of class. Therefore,
we feel that the action of the Deans is an
ill-advised one.

Ad Libbfftgf By Graham McTeer
Of all the discussions of the Ku Klux Klan I have heard
in my short life's span, orte very important' phase has never
been brought up. Possibly some old-timers are familiar With
ah old American song based on the Klan and its activities,
but it wasn't until last week that I chanced upon it.
While browsing in Main Lib
ing to play stories which might contribute
something to the peace and welfare of the
world by the nauseating exploits of Miss
Bergman and Miss Hayworth. In their
newspaper bibles they found that adultery
laid claim to extra special page one treat­ment.
The ministerial and other groups who
propose the banning of future movies by
these stars might accomplish a great deal
more good if they could talk sense of in­telligent
news values into the heads of the
metropolitan press.
Lee County Bulletin
-in violating rules of good sportsmanship
merely to exhibit spirit and enthusiasm.
This is not the proper way to show loyalty
to the squad.
In recent years, when Auburn's teams
were not consistent winners, the school
was often commended for its gentlemanly
manner in accepting defeat. Now that the
tide has turned, it is important that we
learn to be good winners.
The remaining home gains will show
whether Auburn students have the stuff
it takes to be enthusiastic, spirited, and
loyal, and at the same time humble, gen­tlemanly,
and sportsmanlike.
Mcleer
rary one lazy afternoon, I ran
across a volume titled "A Trea­sury
of American Songs." In this
publication I found the ditty,
'•The Ku Kluck Klan," by name.
In addition to this unusual
c o m p o s ition,
£jgg there was a ga­laxy
of other
seldom-h e a r d
tunes, a m o ng
them the "Ab-o
l i t i o n i s t
1_ Hymn," "Hal­lelujah,
I'm a
Bum," "I Cat-cha
Plenty of
Feesh," "Ken­tucky
M o o n-shiner,"
the "St.
James Infirmary Blues," and
"Bobbeli Schlof."
Two other tunes which never
made the Hit Parade, but may
gain fame as "Stop the Music"
mystery melodies, were "No
More Booze" and "The T.V.A."
These two, along with the Klan
tune, appeared to be the best of
the lot.
It is indeed a shame that such
compositions as these never found
their way into Americana. It
would be a splendid project for
some performer to expand his re­pertoire
to include some of these
numbers. I can't recall the book's
call number, but possibly Mr.
Dewey Decimal would aid any
interested artist in locating these
• unsung songs. -

Turning to the inevitable
gripe-for-world-betterment d e-partment,
I present my latest pet
peeves, each lacking any sort of
world-shaking traits, of course.
1) WHY do newsreel editors
deem it necessary to give full
coverage to every congregation
of ski-jumpers? Possibly because
I am no snowshoe artist, nor even
an amateur, the films always look
precisely alike to me, somewhat
like the main streets of frontier
towns in Westerns: If ski shots
must be shown, the reel's produc­er
could at least include actions
of the jumpers after they bite
the snow.
2) WHY are pictures of coup­les'
celebrating golden anniver­saries
of utmost importance to
newspapers? There is nothing
unique in the observance of a 50-
year period of marital bliss in this
day and time, as evidenced by
the regularity with which such
accounts are published.

Poor Birmingham citizens! Not
only has any hope of seeing
"Pinky" _at a local theater been
killed, but now a group of "civic-minded"
leaders has initiated_ a
movement to ban all productions
(cinematic) of Ingrid Bergman."
The Bergman case is a sad orrs;
Merely because she has been un­fortunate
enough to be in the
public eye, her actions have been
bally-hooed by the nation's press
until she is the epitome of dis­grace.
And now, do-gooders are
straining to draw a connecting
line between the private (?) life
Bergman and the on-screen Miss
B.
How anyone can be as-narrow-minded
to consider that accept­ing
Ingrid's acting is equivalent1
to conddriation of her ".shocking"
actions in real life is beyond me.
Let's h6pe that this nation,
founded on and proud of free­dom
and liberty, isn't to be in­fluenced
by self-labelled purists
who look no farther than their
noses before evaluating.
One of my chief desires during
the past three years was satisfied
last week end when I was given
an opportunity to attend a press
conference of Gov. James E. Fol-som.
Since his election as gover­nor
of Alabama, Folsom and the
state press have seldom seen eye
to eye on any issue in which "Big
Jim" w a s involved Because of
this gulf between the chief execu­tive
and the press, I had become
confused as to just what Folsom
would or could say when quizzed
by the shrewd journalists of the
state.
The usual press reports which
the people of the state have read
after interviews with Folsom
have consisted almost entirely of
"no comment" answers by t h e
state leader. However, when the
Alabama Press Association held
an informal conference with Fol­som
Saturday he gave interesting
a n d direct comments on many
vital questions fired at him.
The governor seemed to weigh
each answer with care and tried
to give to the reporters a definite
reply on most questions. Referr­ing
to the A.P.A. as being com­posed
of "the truthful weeklies
and regular dailies," Folsom held
the interest of all who attended
the meeting.
Stating that he still advocated
his platform of old-age pensions,
reapportionment, b e t t e r high­ways,
repeal of the poll tax, etc.,
Folsom showed that he is still
determined to enact this program.
When asked if he would seek the
governor's office again- in f o ur
years, he stated that he would
not if his successor were able to
carry out the platform which he
(Folsom) advocates. If the next
governor" is unable to carry out
the major points in the Folsom
program, "Big Jim" indicated
that he would seek re-election.
On the issue of the split within
the Democratic Party, Folsom
said that he felt the difference
could and should be worked out
within the party. He a l s o said
that he felt the Dixiecrat-Nation-al
Democrat issue would not fig­ure
in the spring .gubernatorial
election. Folsom reiterated that
he was happy to see the Lodge
Amendment passed a n d hoped
that it w o u l d become a law.
When he added that, if such a
bill had been in effect last year,
President Truman's name might
have appeared on the Alabama
ballot, an interesting debate of
the old issue immediately took
place between the various press
members.
A rather s h a r p exchange of
views on the matter between
newly-elected A.P.A. president
Edmund Blair and journalist
Gould Beech added color to the
meeting. Blair, one of Alabama's
11 electors who v o t e d for the
, States' Rights ticket, and Beech, a
strong advocate of the National
Democratic Party, provided an
interesting contrast of the various
views held by state journalists
on the party issue.
As I left the meeting I could
not help but feel a certain degree
of admiration for Governor Fol­som.
To have been the butt of so
much criticism by m o s t of the
men who attended this reception
and press conference, Go v e r n or
Folsom conducted himself in an
admirable manner. He showed
determined courage in stating his
belief in his program, which is
indeed a liberal program for a
Southern governor.
When we left the mansion, I
overheard one of Folsom's most
adverse critics comment that "if
Folsom h a d conducted himself
during the past three years as he
did today, he would no doubt be
the strongest man in state poli­tics."
This is indeed an interest­ing
comment to c o m e from a
severe critic of Folsom as he en­ters
the last year of his adminis­tration.
Who knows, maybe Fol­som's
action Saturday was just
the beginning of a new approach.
If so, we feel that he may be a
political power in four years.
More and More by Gene Moore
Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
yV!?Xmm*vWMiii
I notice that an Ole Miss law
student, who is a member of the
state legislature, h a s instigated
an investigation of the political
beliefs of instructors in state
schools. The instigator has denied
that the investigation will be an
inquisition or a communist-hunt,
but has been quoted as saying
that Mississippi U. is full of Com­munists,
Socialists and Fellow-
Travelers.
That statement, if it w e re
true, would pose a serious
problem. Cer­tainly
o ne
doesn't w a nt
rabble-rous e r s
s e r v i n g as
m o u l d e r s of
young opinion.
However, when
pinned down,
t h e outspoken
would-be bar­rister
d e n i ed
saying t h a t
there w e re
numerous Communists on the
faculty of his a l m a mater. In
place of this statement", he said
that he merely wanted to investi­gate
(and presumably oust) in­structors
who considered Social­ism
a favorable form of govern­ment
arid put a damper' ori liber­al-
minded professors.
Just how anti-progressive can
one man get? He implies that a
liberal is a dangerous man. I'm
curious to know where this stu­dent-
legislator is from. In order
to be so opposed to liberalism, he
must necessarily be ultra-con­servative
himself. This, I can't
stomach. Can he possibly be for
the much-maligned status quo in
Greenhill
Mississippi? Is this Bilbo rein­carnated?
Dictionaries define a liberal as
one who favors freedom in polit­ical
matters, a broad-minded per­son
not bound by the established
views of political thinking. Is
this so bad? What's wrong with a
person's hitting at the status quo?
Is it wrong to advocate changes,
is one subversive if he holds to
a point of view that is broad in
scope?' Must he knuckle under
to the one so-called "proper way
of thinking?" These are only a
few questions one might ask the
Mississippi legislator. It would be
Interesting to hear his answers.
I expect his answers would con­tain
a few Bilboismis'.
My point is, what if there1 is
liberalism on the faculty of arl
University? It is only through be­ing
exposed to the different
points of view that one can form
an opinion of his own. Does this
Mississippian think young adults
should hear only one side of a
question? It seems to me that it* is
much better to consider a ques­tion
from all angles, dividing-the
good and bad in the various phi­losophies,
and" then formulate a
personal opinion.
When someone starts a similar
move in Alabama, it'll be time to
get out. What g o o d would a
school be without free expression
of opinion? The student certain­ly
wouldn't be able to get that
broad education advertised in
every college catalog. No, my
Mississippi friend, we're not buy­ing
any. We want academic free­dom
here at Auburn.
Remember, the quotation is, "A
little learning (not a little libera­lism)
is a dangerous thing."
The sophomore class will go to
bat again this week end, arid if
one may judge from the warm ups,
the Class is almost certain to get
• on--base with an additional hit to
scale into its batting average.
The first annual Soph Sweater
Stomp, to be held in Alumni Gym
Friday night, is another of the ac­tivities
of the league-leading soph­omores.
Manager of the" "team" is
Gene Allred, class president, who,
with the aid of his staff of coaches,
the'" Sophomore Couricil, and with
the cooperation of, a large part of
the sophomore class, is gaining a
reputation for setting precedents
on the Auburn campus.
Mernbers of the sophomore class
were the first to get a real start
last fall,' the initial class meeting
was held, before any of the other
classes hi a d organized. At this
assemblage it was decided to go
into training imrnediately for the
sophomore activities of the com­ing
school year.
The sophomores joined with the
junior class during the fall quar­ter
to sponsor side shows in the
Beat 'Bama Carnival, w h i ch
proved to be on* of the rriost suc­cessful
tarriashas ever held. At the
next class meeting, to be held in
early March, plans will be dis­cussed
for a sophorriOre' social dur­ing
the spring quarter! Among
suggestions received for the spring
fete is one for a corhbination pic­nic
and swimming party at a near­by
lake. Also, there is a tentative
proposal for a class get-together
during the summer.
In spite of the fact that the
Negro orchestra which was sched­uled
to play for the Sweater Stomp,
has been banned from the campus
as a result of administrative ac­tion,
the Council has managed to
obtain as a pinch hitter a local
ensemble of high batting ability.
During the "seventh i n n i ng
—a t i t m t t —i •-•'
stretch" at the hop, a quartet
composed of Auburn grid stars
will sing. Members of the football
foursome are Juhnny Wallis, Bo-bo
Blackerby, Bill Tucker, and Ed
"Coach" Martin. If the member's
of the quartet can warble as well
as they can handle a porcine in­tegument,
they'll make the Stomp
a success by themselves!
The title of the dance—the first
annual Soph Sweater Stomp—is
self-descriptive. In the first place,
this is the first of what may be a
long line of Sweater Stomps on
the campus. This may be the be­ginning
of another Auburn tradi­tion;
and there is a lot of truth in
the old maxim which says, "The
greater the tradition, the greater
the position." That is, with two
colleges of equal capacity, the
school which has more tradition is
the school which gains the better
reputation of the two.
And since this is a Soph Sweat­er
Stomp, you can see that it is
only for sophomores. This segre­gation
is essential in order to pro­vide
freedom of movement in a
building with the limited floor
space of Alumni Gym. The dance
will be strictly informal, so while
you're treading the measure (if
you don't care to stomp), you figu­rantes
won't have to worry about
stepping on the hem of your eve­ning
gown, and you twinkle-toed
boys won't have to worry about
keeping a press in the tux you
borrowed from the dude across the
hall.
But the best part of all is that
admission to the first annual Soph
Sweater Stomp will be only a vig­orous
"War Eagle" at the door. In
addition, free refreshments will be
served. Sophs, get into the bull pen
and start warming up; the first
pitch of the ball—or rather, stomp
—is scheduled for eight o'clock
Friday night.
Letters To The Editor

Februray 11, 1950
Dear Sir:
I have just finished reading the
February 8, 1950, i s s u e of The
Plainsman; Which I always enjoy
reading! I was especially delight­ed
to read of t h e stand taken
against the administrative action
which banned the appearance of
a Negro band on the campus.
The editorial entitled "Negro
Band Banned Prom Campus"
shows thorough, concise, logical
and true democratic thinking on
the part of the writer. It is en­couraging
to know that the writer
daringly expressed himself with a
real democratic spirit and with
tolerance toward h i s fellow
Americans. For these reasons, I
would like to commend the writer
with the hope that he, as well as
others, will continue to stanchly
fight to motivate a pure demo­cracy
in America.
Yours truly,
John' A. Aldridge

Dear Sir:
I am quite favorably impressed
by The Plainsman at present; it
seems to have a good deal of vi­gor,
and its editorials are general­ly
sensible. I fear, though, that
you may have rushed too hastily
into commendation of the pro­posal
to buy the chimes played in
Religious Emphasis Week.
I am not surprised that many
students want to see t h e m in­stalled,
but I am rather alarmed
at the prospect of having to hear

Cannon
Enough cannot be said about the f
success of this year's Religious
Emphasis Week. All records indi­cate
that this was the most out­standing
program of its kind ever
held on campus.
Through the help of the Uni­versity
Christian Mission, we were
a b l e to obtain
"' the services of
some of the best
speakers in the
nation. An un­usually
1 a r g e\
number of stu-d
e n t s w e re
reached during
the week.
The speakers
v i s i t i n g the
campus w e re
lavish in their
praise of the organizational- work
done in preparing for the week.
While the work done by the sev­eral
committees, both student and
faculty, was tremendous, I won­der
if the week would have been
as successful without the aid of
a full-time executive secretary.
Miss Elizabeth Fulton, Auburn's
Danforth Fellow, has given her
full time since September to plan­ning
Religious Emphasis Week
and to executing those plans. No
student would have had time to,
look after the myriad details of
the program as she did.
The fact that this year's religi­ous
program was so much more
outstanding than those in past
years points out the need for a
full-time campus religious direc-tor
As a member of the staff of the
director of student affairs, the re­ligious
director would handle the
administrative details of Religious
Emphasis Week and follow-up
PtTt the" same time, he would co­ordinate
the work of the various
churches and their student org­anizations.
The splendid spirit of
co-operation among different de­nominations
during REW should
be continued and strengthened. A
campus religious director would
be invaluable in doing this. ^
When the sophomore class has
its dance Friday night, the group
will be reaping some of the re­wards
of class organization. This
is the first year since the war that
an attempt has been made to
strengthen the organization of the
various classes on campus.
The results have been good. The
successful Beat 'Bama Carnival
stimulated the selection of class
projects. Now, the dance gives so­cial
benefits to the class at the
same time that it helps the sopho­mores
to become better acquaint­ed
and helps to develop their class
spirit.

Samford Clock, Tower
Have Colorful History
By Jimmy Everett
A self-centered squawk was let out last Monday by mom­ma
pigeon as the old clock in' Samford Tower went on the
blink and disrupted the feeding schedule of her hungry
squabs, who reside in the inviting superstructure of Samford
Hall. Little did momma pigeon realize that it also made some
Auburnites late for class,
FAITHFUL SAMFORD CLOCK HAS HISTORIC BACKGROUND
7000
work, or morning coffee.
However, considering the many
years that Big Sam has ticked
faithfully and tolled the coed-cur-feW,
one can forgive these minor
disruptions, which occur whenever
the current goes off.
The historic old timepiece was
installed in Samford in April, 1889,
and it was pointed to with pride
by the coed arms which were not
at that time graced by diamond
studded Gruens, Hamiltons, or
Elgins. Although the Seth Thomas
mechanism contains no musical
chimes, does not give the day of
the month, or have a Mickey
Mouse face, it still is the number
one timepiece with both young
and old on the campus. The over­sized
hands offer themselves to be­ginners
who are learning the art
of interpreting the meaning of the
two hands.
Presenting f o u r faces which
previously offered a variety of
time's, the student could take the
mos* convenient one for his par­ticular
excuse, but in March, 1944,
when workmen from the Tower
Clock Company tramped up the
worn steps to .the hidden fourth
floor and on up into the tower
with a completely new electric
mechanism, this system was dis­rupted
and the four hands moved
in unison undel' the four lights
installed by Squires honor society.
Now, with the installation of
lights, Samford Tower shines forth
as a beacon to lost pledges, "A"
Club initiates, and other students
having the honor of being dropped
on an unidentified country road.
Since the installation of the elec­tric
motor, the clock has given no
trouble except an occasional cur­rent
failure
As to actually what makes Sam­ford
Clock tick, one finds an
intricate system of wheels arid
levers among the pigeori nests in:
the tower. The striking mechan'-"
ism consists of a giant bell, a
long iron hammer, and the wheels
and gears that operate the system.
The thick bell was cast the same
year that the clock was made and
it sports a shiny bald spot on one
inner surface. However, it will be
many years before the 156 daily
dongs wear through the remaining
iron.
There are only two approaches
to reach the tower and clock
mechanism. One lies through the'
mystery-shrouded f o u r t h floor
and the locked doors, while the
other would be scaling the outside
wall which offers a few ledges for
footholds. In the fourth floor of
Samford lie stacks of discarded
books, old furniture, light bulbs,
and other junk among the dust
and cobwebs. After reaching the
fourth level, there still remains
the climb into the tower where
the clock is located.
As it functions daily the old
clock is certainly the most noticed
landmark of the college and re­mains
highest in respect and po­sition
on the Auburn campus.

LSU Gains Revenge With 76-51 Victory
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
In t h r e e games played this past week, the A u b u r n hard­wood
five posted two wins and one loss to maintain their
t h i r d place position in t h e SEC race.
Coach Harry Rabenhorst's L.S.U. Bengals broke a six-game
losing s t r e a k Monday night as they soundly trounced
Auburn's shivering Tigers 76-61 • —
TIGERS EXPECTED TO SHINE IN 'A' DAY GAME
in Baton Rouge. It was an SEC
upset as the Louisianians reveng­ed
the last minute defeat handed
them in the Auburn Sports Arena
on February 4.
After five minutes of play
L.S.U. gained the lead at 9-8 and
held it all the way to gain a 38-
26 lead at intermission.
Captain Bill Lynn of Auburn
again bested "Two Story" John­son
from the pivot position. Lynn
was individual high scorer with
21 points while holding Johnson
to 7. Jack Glasgow sparked a late
Auburn rally and racked up 14
markers.
Guard Joe Dean and Forward
Bobby Meador dropped in 17 and
16 points respectively to pace the
L.S.U. attack.
Auburn's star guard, Don Lan-ford,
having led the Tiger victory
over Tulane Saturday night with
21 p o i n t s , did not see action

Green Wave Stopped
The lone encounter of the sea­son
with the Tulane Green Wave
went to t h e Tigers by a 64-60
count Saturday night in New Or­leans.
Paced by Don Lanford's 22
points, the Tigers w e r e hard-pressed
all the way as Tulane
fought down to the last whistle.
TulaHe jumped to an early
lead, but the Tigers rallied and
were never headed although
pushed repeatedly. The Plains­men
held a slim 29-25 lead at the
halfway mark and spurted to a
12-point margin after five minu­tes
of second half action.
The Greenies bounced back,
however, and edged up to knot
the score at 60 all with two min­utes
remaining. Here the Eaves-men
denied the Wave its suppos­ed
home ground advantage and
forged ahead to cinch the victory.
Bulldogs Clouted
A full house cheered last
Thursday n i g h t as Coach Joel
Eaves' Tigers swept to a 67-54
win over the University of Geor­gia
Bulldogs. The win enabled
the Plainsmen to hold on to a tie
with Kentucky for second place.
The Bulldogs, led by Bob Hea-ley,
set the pace for the first five
minutes before Hill knotted the
score with a free throw and then
followed up with a basket to put
t h e Tigers ahead 11-9. Auburn
stayed ahead to hold a 29-23 lead
at halftime.
Big Bill Lynn again was top
scorer with 17 points. Hill gar­nered
15, a n d Georgia's lanky
center, Bob Schloss, topped the
Bulldog column with 13 markers.
Halfway through the second
half the Plainsmen held a 64-43
advantage and coasted in with
reserves finishing the game. Fif­teen
players served time for the
Tigers as the team played one of
its most consistent games of the
season.

Tiger Nine Begins
Spring Drills; All
Positions Are Open
Coach Johnny Williamson, var­sity
baseball mentor, was met
Monday afternoon by an energetic
host of baseball hopefuls to offi­cially
commence drills for the
1950 season. Candidates reported
to the Field House and were im­mediately
sent into action on the
grassy plot to the north of the
quarter-mile track in Cliff Hare
Stadium.
Calisthentics and running, plus
a few warm-up tosses, featured
the day's activity as Williamson
tried to round the prospects into
shape before undertaking a thor­ough
screening of the large turn­out.
Veterans On Hand
Several members of last season's
varsity nine were dressed out for
the initial sessions. Williamson
will have a full team of experi­enced
men back for drills when
basketball and football affairs are
terminated. .
George Hill, a pitcher last sea­son
and alternate captain of the
basketball squad, will don the
flannels along with Gene Hoehle,
a sophomore flinger who is rated
one of the brightest mound pros­pects
on the Plains.
A veteran infield is back in the
form of Erskine Russell at first,
Captain Dick Webb at second, Jack
Rucker at short, and Bill Fleming
at the hot corner. In the outfield,
Julian Mock in left, Jocko Norton
in center, Joe Sterling in right,
and Charlie G i l b e r t handling
catching and outfield duties, com­plete
the veteran roster.
Sophomores Good
A number of sophomore candi­dates
up frMJu a talented frosh
niHe' wilLgiMiiflihe veterans plenty
of competition. Along with Hoehle,
mound hopefuls Ernest Baker and
Shorty Baker are set to display
their throwing arms.
Following the "A" day game
February 25, sophomores Bill
Tucker and Dave Ridgway will be
free to swap their cleats for spikes.
Tucker is a catcher and Ridgway
an outfielder. Verdo Elmore is the
other backstop candidate up from
the freshman squad.
Harvey Camp and Fletcher Al­len
form a smooth keystone com­bination
that can give Webb and

team honors.

Tiger Gridders Enter Final Stages
Of Drills For Annual 'A' Day Game
By Tom Duke
Coach Earl Brown has been running his Tiger gridders at
full speed in daily workouts during the past two weeks as
the Orange and Blue gridders prep for their annual "A" Day
game February 25. As the Tigers entered their fifth week of
drills Monday, Coach Brown promised plenty of rough work
before the big game.
During the rugged work of the
last two weeks, Auburn coaches
have been hampered because of
a large number of injuries to key
players. Two sophomore backs,
Fred Halbig, stocky Baldwin, N.
Y., speedster, and Jack Langford,
speedy Griffin," Ga., halfback,
were injured in drills last week.
Both men are expected to miss
the "A" Day game because of
broken collar bones.
Injuries Hurt
Seven more men have seen li­mited
service in recent -drills be­cause
of injuries. Bobby Golden,
halfback; Joe Tiburzi, tackle;
and Dick Flournoy, halfback, are
returning lettermen who are on
the ailing list. Tiburzi and Flour­noy
have been hampered with
knee ailments, while Golden has
been slowed down because of a
cut over his eye.
Sophomores R. J. Drago, Tom­my
Page, Lou Grosso and Bob
Drake have also been held out of
heavy work because of injuries.
Drago is a back and the other
three sophomores are linemen.
Grosso is out indefinitely.
Tucker Shines
At the vital quarterback post
left vacant by the' graduation of
All-Southeastern Travis Tidwell,
letterman Bill Tucker, Birming­ham;
returning squad member
Allen Parks, Jackson, Miss., and
sophomores Spence and Phillips
have shown promise. Tucker, ac­cording
to most sideline observ­ers
has shown considerable skill
in handling the ball from the
"T" formation and in tossing the
pigskin.
With lettermen Dwight Hitt
and Bob ©riggs missing spring
drills, the halfback spot has been
hard pressed for experienced
performers. Briggs is out with

Fast Finish Forecast
Auburn's loss to L.S.U. Monday night dealt a big blow to Tiger
hopes for the SEC basketball crown this season. But, the race isn't
over yet—plenty of thrilling play is in the offering before 1950's
winner is determined.
Mathematically, at least, the Plainsmen can come out on lop—
although the chance looms slim. With four games remaining, the
hard-working Eavesmen could end with a 14-4 record for a .777
percentage. Vanderbilt, haying won Monday night from Mississippi
State, 85-50, has but two games to go, while Kentucky's steadying
Wildcats will play three more SEC lilts-&all. on home hardwood.
The supreme test comes February 25 when the Commodores and
the Wildcats meet in Lexington. An optimist of the optimistic sort
would figure the odds thus: should Vanderbilt drop their two tilts,
they would finish with a 10-4 record (.714); and were Kentucky to
drop two (Ole Miss and Ga. Tech) and win from Vandy, they would
boast a 9-4 (.692) season's standing.
So, it isn't over yet—and basketball fans in this section are cer­tain
to witness a thrilling finish to the topsy-turvy 1949-50 race.
Upsets have been the rule rather than the exception. Tennessee
beat the once seemingly-unbeatable Wildcats of Baron Rupp, and
Georgia followed suit. It was the first SEC loss for the Wildcats since
a Tennessee team beat them in 1945. Another Blue Grass sign of
invincibility, however, is the fact that, on their home court, the Wild­cats
haven't felt the sting of defeat since Jan. 2, 1945, when they
lost to Ohio State, 40-45.
Everybody's 'Bustin' Loose'
The forthcoming campus talent show, "Bustin' Loose," appears
more versatile each day as reports of new acts drift from the inner
sanctums of producer Jim Watson. It seems the show won't be con­fined
to gags and melodies, but will include a variety of exhibitions
—some of which enter the realm of athletic feats.
A P.E. Department contribution to the cast is a tumbling and
acrobatic routine by Monro Covington and Robert Radford that is
considered in the professional bracket. The routine will feature flips,
mid-air somersaults, hand balancing stunts and other precision acts.
Mary Terry, winner of many prizes in national contortionist ex­hibitions,
will "twist up like a pretzle, and tie herself in knots that
even a sailor would be proud of."
Felton Luck, a muscle-man of Coach Hutsell's track team, will
give a muscle control exhibition, and for good measure, bend nails
and steel rods with his bare hands. Even some of the football players
are appearing in a quartet (Johnny Wallis, Don Blackerby, Bill
Tucker, and "Coach" Martin), while others are cast in some of the
humorous sketches.
a shoulder injury received last
fall, while Hitt is a member of
the Tiger varsity basketball
team. Lettermen Bill Davis, Capt.
Jim McGowen, Golden, Flour­noy,
and returning squadman Al
Woodham, are the most exper­ienced
halfback performers.
Tackles Weak
In the line the weakest spot
appears to be at tackle where
only two lettermen are partici­pating
in spring drills. Veterans
Joe Tiburzi and Ted Varano are
the only experienced men at the
tackle posts. Ed Bauer, the only
other monogram wearer at tackle,
is not taking part in spring drills
due to a recent knee operation.
At the ends, veterans Fred Du-art
and Alt-Capt. Virgil Willet
are at present the leading con­tenders
for the flanks. Dave Rid­gway
and Tommy Edwards, jun­iors,
and sophomores E r i ch
Sauerberry, Lee Hayley, and Ed
Dupree have looked good in re­cent
workouts.
Jim Brooks, Tom Banks, and
Jack Lambert have shined in this
week's workouts at the guard
posts. Banks has looked great in
drills all spring and is expected
to be one of the top Tiger line­men
next fall.
Four Games Played
In Coed Tourney
Four games were played last
week in the girls' intramural bas­ketball
tournament, and four will
be played this week to complete
Round I in the double elimination
contest.
In the first scheduled game,
Theta Upsilon forfeited to the
Town Girls. Alumni Hall edged
out Dorm IV, 13-12, which pairs
the winner with Town Girls in
Round II.
Also in Round I, Delta Zeta
bounced Auburn Hall, 20-4, and
Alpha Gamma Delta took Kappa
Delta, 16-10, bringing the two
winners together in Round II next
week.
Games are played in Alumni
Gym each afternoon beginning at
four o'clock, and on Tuesday and
Thursday nights. Fifteen sorority,
dormitory, and independent teams
are participating in the WAA-sponsored
event.

Tiger Cagers Meet Crimson Tide Here Saturday
Auburn Out For Season's third Win
Over Bo ma Crew; Tip-Off Is At 7:30
By Stuart Stepherison, J*.
A top a t t r a c t i o n of a nip-and-tuek SEC basketball race gets
underway at 7:30 S a t u r d a y night in the S p o r t s Arena. It will
be Auburn's red hot Tigers against a revenge-minded Ala­bama
Crimson Tide in t h e t h i r d and final game of the t h r e e -
cross-state rivalry.
THE 'BIG SIX' FOR TIGER CAGERS
The Tigers, coming home after
a semi-successful swing along the
conference's western rim, are still
very much a contender for first
place honors in the exciting home
stretch of a hotly contested cage
race. Since losing their first-place
title to Vanderbilt in Nashville on
February 6, the Tigers bounced
back to beat Georgia 67-54 here in
Auburn last Thursday and then
took to the road to hand Tulane a
C4-60 defeat, followed by a 61-76
loss to L.S.U. last Monday night.
The Plainsmen are in third place
with Kentucky holding second.
Tigers Hold Lead
The Tiders took three games
from Coach Danny Doyle's Tigers
last year in the renewal of ath­letic
relations between the two
rivals. But the order has been r e ­versed
this season with a fast-breaking
Auburn quintet having
taken the Tide's measure in both
encounters.
In a game played in Auburn on
December 20, the Tigers won 45-40
from a favored Alabama five to
wind up cage activity in '49. Be­fore
a packed house in Tusca­loosa's
Foster Auditorium on Jan­uary
28, Coach Joel Eaves' squad,
again the underdog on the strength
of a five-game winning streak en­joyed
by the Tide, jumped to an
early lead and were never equalled
in winning 66-58.
Thus Coach Floyd Burdette's
every effort will be directed to­ward
besting an Auburn team to
break the string of Auburn tri­umphs
stemming from the foot­ball
climax on December 3.
'Bama is Fifth
The Tide lost to Kentucky,
57-77, Monday night on the Wild­cats'
home court to bring their
i •-
won lost record to 8-7 for con­ference
play arid a fifth place
rating. For all games the Tiders
have a 9-9 listing.
Alabama play this season has
been of the hot and cold variety
with the latter predominating^ as
the Capstoners lost several close
ones. The five game win streak
halted by Auburn was the most
prolonged spurt of energy shown
by the potentially strong Tusca­loosa
aggregation.
With diminutive Dyson Ham-ner
playing his fourth season as a
regular guard and Dick McKen-zie
likewise seeking his fourth
varsity monogram at the guard
spot, the Tide has given the op­position
plenty of trouble on
numerous occasions.
Sophomore f o r w a r d Bryant
"Fien" Ivey is leading 'Bama point
makers with 163. McKenzie was
top scorer last season with 221.
Bob Schneider, a 6-2 sophomore,
and Sammy Moore, a 6-5 regular
have seen extensive action for the
Crimsons.
Billy Dean, 6-3 center, is earn­ing-
his third varsity letter with
the Tide quintet, and alternates
with senior Gene Palmer and
Paul Sullivan, a long-reaching 6
foot 7 inch sophomore in pivot
duties. '
Tigers Strong
Captain Bill Lynn leads Tiger
scorers with 280 points as he paces
the smooth-working quintet along
the victory road. Tiger ball-hand­ling
and defensive play have kept
pace with their basket accuracy to
date as the Plainsmen have estab­lished
themselves as the surprise
team Of the conference.
Probable starters for Saturday's
7:30 tip-off are Lynn at center,
Lahfo'rd and Brawner at guards
and Hill and Glasgow at forwards.

to 5. However, the Tennesseans
came out second-in the SEAAU
meet.
The Plainsmen notched up their
fourth victory of the season last
week end by downing Maryville
College of Tennessee, 22 to 8. The
Tigers took six out of the eight

Auburn took an early lead when
John McGill and Sonny Dragoin
won their matches by decisions.
Rick Belfonti of Auburn was de-cisioned
by Maryville's Chesley
Anderson in the 136-pound class,
but Spider McKenzie came back
in the next match to pin Calloway
and give the Tigers a 11-3 lead.
The upset of the night came in
the 155-pound class "when Law­rence
Major of Maryville pinned
Robin Baker. Baker was leading

Letters To Editor
(Continued from page 4)
them day after day, year after
year. I did not enjoy them at all.
In fact, I thought they were an­noying,
disagreeable, and rather
cheap.
As I understand the matter, the
apparatus in question is not bells
but rather recordings of chimes
that are amplified through a set
of loudspeakers. Real bells give
rather pleasant music, I think,
but when amplification is used,
the volume is distinctly annoying.
The noise disturbed me even at
home, three blocks from the cam­pus.
It is too much like the blaring
of Christmas carols that makes
the period from Thanksgiving to
Christmas nowadays so hard to
endure. The amplification causes
such reverberations, too, that the
music seems disagreeable. When
I hear it I think of a musical saw
rather than of bells.
I a l s o thought the selections
were cheap. Except for a couple
of familiar hymn tunes, the stuff
played was commonplace and
sentimental. If the company that
sells the machine cannot furnish
better music than was presented,
this reason alone ought to be suf­ficient
to condemn the idea of
purchase.
Supposing the apparatus were
bought, who would choose t he
numbers to be played? I think a
college ought to represent t he
best in all fields, and I really
should hate to have to blush daily
for poor taste being advertised
from our towers.
Finally, the proposal to buy the
amplifying appartus seems to me
but another example of a b ad
tendency to spend money on
things that are showy but insub­stantial.
How many scholarships
are available at A.P.I, for poor
but brilliant students? The sum
of $1800, you know, would sup­port
such a student for a consid­erable
time.
Norman A. Brittin
Associate Professor
Department of English
I believe that the power of Re­ligious
Emphasis Week was dem­onstrated
last week when Squires
conducted a poll to determine the
students' opinion on the proposal
to purchase a set of chimes for
the college. Of the sixteen people
questioned, only two voiced a dis­like
of the proposal. This poll in­dicates
that there is indeed an
overwhelming majority ,of stu­dents
at Auburn who are jn favor
of purchasing a set of chimes.
The majority w a s so over­whelming,
in fact, and I was so
stunned by the unanimity of opin­ion,
that I was forced to consider
the poll itself as being in the na­ture
of a miracle. That Auburn
has been allowed to have a mira-,
cle all its own can, of course, be
attributed to but one thing—Re­ligious
Emphasis Week.«
Since numbers, in the hands of
an honest and intelligent person,
do not lie, I have found them ideal
to
