Beard Explains Ticket Procedure;
Asks For Cooperation of Students
Because of a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding
on the part of the students, Jeff Beard, business manager
of the athletic department, explained to The Plainsman
yesterday the reasons for the present procedure being used
in the distribution of football tickets to the students. The
present policy being used by the
athletic department is the selling
of tickets to two games at a time
and two weeks in advance of each
game.
Beard said, "the Auburn students
are being misled by rumors
and stories which have been circulated
about the campus during
the past week concerning the ticket
situation." He continued "We
have four definite reasons why we;'
are using the new procedure for
distributing tickets."
"(1) This plan was discussed
during the summer quarter with
various members of the student
body and it was received favorably.
"(2) The plan enables a student
to buy two tickets at a time
and avoid standing in line each
week for his tickets, often cutting
class on the day that there is a
rush sale.
"(3) • It permits the Athletic
Association to determine t wo
weeks or more in advance of a
game whether or not the students
will use all tickets that have been
saved for them. In the past it has
often been the case that we have
had many tickets left from the
student sale but it was then too
late to place these on the market
for alumni sale. An example: last
year we had 1700 tickets to the
Georgia Tech game, and 1500
tickets to the Georgia game thaat
were left after the student sale
ended on Thursday prior to the
game on Saturday. It was impossible
to get these tickets back to
the scene of the game and on sale
to the public in time for sale. At
the same time, alumni orders prior
to the student sale were returned
unfilled..
"(4) This system is used by all
other members of the conference
cedure are," continued Beard: ly.
"I sincerely hope that all students
will give us their full cooperation,"
Beard continued; "We
are trying to handle, this situation
for the good of all students".
Tickets On Sale
Student tickets for the Tulane
and Vanderbilt games will go on
sale at the Field House on October
4, 5, and 6 from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. Tickets for the Homecoming
g a m e with Mississippi
State will be on sale October 11,
12, and 13 at the same hours listed
above.
The athletic department said
that each student buying tickets
for the games must use his own
activity book, Students should
read the rules in the book and
use his own activity book for the
purchase of tickets. Books will be

Kickoff Time Is Set For 2:30 P. M.;
Hunsinger Leads Strong Gator Team
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Opponent number two for the 1949 Auburn Tigers, the
'Gators from the University of Florida, will.be met in Mobile's
Ladd Stadium Saturday. Kickoff time is set for 2:30
p.m.
Although pre-season "experts" have slated Florida to
TQ LEAD TIGERS share with Mississippi State and
Auburn the lower regions in this
season's final SEC standings, the
Gators' two victories to date indicate
a strong bid to do otherwise.
Florida took a 13-0 decision from
the Citadel and a crushing .40-7
win from Tulsa.
Hunsinger Leads Gators
Coach Ray Wolf's feature attraction
is high-stepping Charlie
Hunsinger, All-Southeastern star
halfback. Hunsinger s p a r k s a
well-balanced, hard-hitting, running
game that is the basis of the
Florida offense. "The Florida Flyer"
averaged 7.3 yards per try last
season and his frequent spectacular
broken field runs made him a
constant threat to opposing elevens.
Having utilized the "T" system
since 1947, the Gators count two
years' experience in polishing
their attack. This years' squad
boasts the services of 29 returning
lettermen, with only three .men-missing
from the '48 team which
took a 16-9 thriller from the
Plainsmen.
Spectacular and devastating has
been the Gator record in the punt
return category. Hunsinger, Griffin,
and B r o a d u s collaborated
in this department to average 17
yards per runback last fall on 25
returns. Hal Griffin holds the national
collegiate punt return record—
having averaged 26.7 yards
per return for .more than 10 r e turns
in the 1947 season.
Wolfs rebuilding program at
Florida began three seasons ago,
so this season is to be the big one
for the new-look in Florida football.
Tigers Prep Hard
Taking full advantage of an
idle week end, the T i g e r s are
undergoing two rugged weeks of
practice for the Florida fray.
Coach Brown's w o r k o u t s have
stressed pass protection, down-field
blocking, and plenty of ball
handling against freshman opposition.
Offensively, the Plainsmen are
sharpening their air arm -with
Tidwell, Tucker, and Parks hitting
their receivers with increasing
accuracy. Commenting on the
.500 passing average against Ole
Miss in the opening game, Brown
declared, "If Tidwell and Tucker
can complete 11 of 22 against Ole
Miss—then we're going to shoot
for 90 percent against Florida."
To replace the injured Jim Mc-
Gowen, Brown is counting oh
Charlie Langner and Soph Gene
Huddleston. Jim "Fireplug" Jef-~
fers, five-foot, seven inch, 185-
pound sophomore from Chicago, .
111., looked impressive in drills
and is likely to see plenty of action.
Defensive a l t e r a t i o n s have
placed Bill Tucker in the safety
position to strengthen pass defense.
Brown originally intended
using Tucker only on offense.
Dickie Flournoy, a letterman, and
Soph Allan Parks are slated for
the defensive backfield assignments
along with Jocko Norton
and right halfbacks, Johnny Wallis
and Frank Garrison.
Bright spot in the Tigers' forward
wall is the return of Ed
"Foots" Bauer. A sprained knee
forced Bauer to miss the opening,
tilt, but this promising tackle is
expected to prove a stalwart in
future 'games.

Selective Service
Gives Information
About Registration
College and university students
who become 18 years of age after
the school term starts need
not return to their homes to register
under the Selective Service
Law, acting state director, Colonel
Ernest W. Howell said today. Instead
they may register at the
local board most convenient to
them, as may others when they
reach the age of 18.
"The law requires registration
of all young men—with very few
exceptions—within five days after
their eighteenth birthday,"
Colonel Howell said, "but there
still seems to be some misunderstanding
as to the place of registration.
All the young man has to
do is present himself to the local
board or registration place designated
in that particular area most
convenient in the place he happens
to be when he becomes 18.
The registration process is simple
and requires only a short time.
The data thus gathered is sent to
the local board of the community
he terms his home and which
has jurisdiction over him."
When the r e g i s t r a n t has a
permanent home, the permanent
home address should be given to
registration o f f i c i a l s , Colonel
Howell said. For this purpose
"home" is the place with which
the registrant normally identifies
himself and at which he would
wish to be classified.
«*•
SOCIETY FOREIGN BRIDES OF CAMPUS
Colonel Howell stated that the
law is also specific in its require- I
ments concerning obligation of a J
registrant to keep his local board
informed as to any change in his
address—where he may be reached
by mail, that is—or change in
his status under the Act. He also
stated that men must register
when becoming 18.
"That applies after the registrant
becomes 26 as well as before,"
Colonel Howell said, "and
it means that college and university
students, as well as other
registrants, should notify their respective
local boards when they
leave their homes. There is no
form for this. It may be done by
mail or personally appearing at
the board office."

Foreign Brides Of Auburn Students
Find Positions In Offices On Campus
By F r a n R. Harper
Auburn is becoming more and more cosmopolitan. Brides
from many foreign lands are finding positions as stenographers
and secretaries in the various offices on the campus.
Take p r e t t y Mrs. Audrey Lee, of Bombay, India. She is
secretary to Dr. Hollace E. Arment head of the music department
at Auburn. Then there's
Mrs. Ruth Kitchen, of Berlin,
Germany, who's working in the
Alumni office for Alumni Secretary
"Happy" Davis.
These girls, to name a few, are
wives of G.I. students at Auburn.
Their jobs were found for them
by Mrs. Bertha Prowell, advisor
to veterans' families, who works
untiringly to make life in new
surroundings more enjoyable for
these student wives. At present,
Mrs. Prowell is working on applications
from wives from Puerto
Rico, Venezuela, Honolulu, Persia,
Austria, Istanbul, Turkey, China,
Iran, Mexico, Cuba and Egypt.
With the opening of the fall
quarter, she is having more applications
for jobs, and places to
live. Mrs. Prowell usually helps
the veterans' wives find both and
in addition shows them how to
make their dollars buy a little
more, and helps when there's illness
in their families.
Veterans and their wives feel
free to discuss their problems
with Mrs. Prowell, for she is always
interested and sympathetic.
Many times she has been told by
a troubled student and his wife,
"We feel better now that we have
talked our problem over with
someone like you. You make us
feel like our problem isn't so
serious after all."
Mrs. Prowell's office is located

A u b u r n ' s many churches a r e now in full swing w i t h their
student programs and fellowships. Each of the respective
student fellowships are engaged in an extensive program
which provides the student with a place where he can find
both spiritual and physical relaxation.
New friendships develop and
old friendships strengthen in the
fellowship that makes itself a
bond among Christian brotherhood.
Each and every student
should make some form of religious
activity part of his or her
curriculum. No college education
can be considered complete without
its spiritual complement.
PRESBYTERIAN
Council members of the Westminster
Fellowship will go on retreat
at Spring Villa, five miles
east of Opelika, on Friday, Oct.
7. Dr. Henry Russell, pastor of the
Trinity Presbyterian Church in
Montgomery, will be the inspirational
speaker.
At the Presbyterian morning
worship service on October 9 the
sermon topic will be "Hearsay Religion."
The evening topic will be
on the "Meaning of Worship." A
cordial invitation is extended to
all to attend these services.
BAPTIST
The pause that refreshes one in
the middle of a hectic day can
be found at the Social Center at
12:45 each day, Monday through

added inspiration needed to make
a long day a pleasant one. The

Thursday, Bill Jones, and Friday,
Donna Lindsay. The topic of
discussion this week is "The
Quest for the Best."

"Auburn Review"
To Be Published
Again This Fall
Plans are underway for the
publication of the third issue of
the Auburn Review which will
appear this quarter, according to
an announcement by O. S. Stroud,
president of the Review Club.
The Review was begun to give
Auburn students and faculty
members a medium of expression
in creative works. The first issue
appeared during the winter quarter,
1949. All material in the Review
is written by Auburn
writers.
Any student or faculty member
who is interested in creative
writing or has done any creative
work, poems and short stories, or
any factual articles of general interest
to Auburn, Alabama or the
South is urged to submit their
manuscripts to the English de-parment
for consideration.
Selection of the material for
the fall issue will begin this week.
All manuscripts should be typewritten
and double spaced on
standard typing paper.
The Review gives those writers
who have creative ability a
chance to have their works criticized
and an opportunity for their
work to appear in print. At a
meeting of the Review Club, almost
all of the material submitted
for publication is read to the
club and constructive criticism is
made on each manuscript. Since
RATS GIVE EXCUSE FOR LIVING
"INASMUCH AS ANY LIVING CREATURE, no matter how small or insignificant, has a
right to strive for its existence . . ." Three Auburn freshmen recite the Rat's Excuse For Living on
the demand of an upperclassman.
there is no creative writing class
at Auburn, the Review and the
Review Club afford a place of
learning as well as a place of
publication for beginning writers.
All English professors are being
asked to urge their students to
submit their creative works to the
Review for consideration.
The Theodore C. Hoepfner
Poetry Award, established by
Prof. Theodore C. Hoepfner, will
be made, on the best student poem
appearing in either of the three
issues of the Review for 1949. The
Award will be made at the first
meeting of the Review Club in
1950.

Letter To Frosh
Auburn Rats! Here's news for you and let it be a word
to the wise. Pre-war traditions are returning to the Auburn
campus, and with their return is set the pattern for your life
as a freshman.
No Auburn student rightfully becomes a dignified sophomore
without having gone through his freshman year living
his life in strict accordance with the rules and regulations
by which all freshmen adhere.
Your life at Auburn in the coming year is to be one of
humbleness, obedience, and respect to all upperclassmen and
superiors. The A Club and other upperclassmen are here to
see that you act accordingly, and you are responsible to them
for your conduct.
Rat rules are to be memorized and abided by at all times.
You will find it to your own benefit to learn these as soon
as possible and remember them as you do you own name.
Following is a list of rules for you to adapt yourselves to:
1. Do not walk through the Main Gate under any circumstances.
2. Always carry matches for use of upperclassmen.
3. Learn thoroughly the "Rat's Excuse For Living," so
that you may repeat it with proper expression upon the request
of any upperclassman.
4. Speak to absolutely everyone you meet on street or
campus.
5. All freshmen will be present at all mass meetings,
6. Learn and be able to sing both verses of Auburn's Alma*
Mater.
7. Wear your rat cap at all times.
"The Rat's Excuse For Living" is never forgotten.Practi-cally
every student that ever attended Auburn can recite
this document* at a moment's notice. It is a mark of an Auburn
man or woman, and YOU, in order to be a good rat, will make
this your creed. Here's how it goes:
Inasmuch as any living creature, no matter how small or
insignificant, has a right to strive for its existence, so I, a
lowly rat of Auburn, lowest scum of the earth except those
of Tech, 'Bama, and Georgia, do h e r e b y strive for mine.
Thank you very kindly, sir!"
Freshmen! These rules have been printed for your benefit.
Take advantage of them and prepare yourself properly to
walk the ways of the Auburn rat.

Selection of Trustees
l l o w much longer m u s t Auburn be
governed by a system which directly involves
this institution in a dangerous political
war whenever a vacancy appears on
t h e Board of Trustees? How much longer
must Auburn be t h e target of state politicians
who are fighting for personal gain
and individual power in their quest for
positions on the AubUrn board? When will
the lawmakers of Alabama remove t he
Auburn Board of T r u s t e e s from the dingy
Alabama political arena and place it in
a position where required dignity and respect
may accompany appointments to the
board?
These are questions which the editor
hears frequently when talking with students,
alumni and friends of Auburn. In
t h e opinion of the editor, Auburn's Board
of Trustees is exactly what the name implies.
This board must be made up of individuals
who will assume duties of trust.
As Harry Davis stated in a recent issue
of the Auburn Alumnews, the Board of
Trustees should be " . . . . guardians, so to
speak, of the prestige, reputation, traditions,
and welfare of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute." The trusteeship is not
only all of this but it requires a l a r ge
amount of executive and business ability.
I t also requires an undying devotion to
Auburn as an institution—not as a stepping
stone for political power in t h e state
of Alabama. As the Alumnews also states,
Auburn is "a BIG business." It is a business
which must have as its directors, men
who are devoted entirely to the task of
making A.P.I, a profitable business investment
for t h e people of Alabama, the South
and the nation.
During the past four years the board
appointments have been the subject of
controversy—ugly, uncalled for political
controversy. Because of the selfish interest
of a few men, Auburn was catapaulted
jn 1947 i n to t h e bitterest, p a r t i s a n political
b a t t l e ever involving an Alabama educational
institution, when Governor Folsom
failed, to receive confirmation for some of
his a p p o i n t m e n t s to the board. This bitter
b a t t l e left Auburn in a status which has
r e q u i r e d much careful work by President
Draughon and the present board in order
to s t r e n g t h e n and correct the standing of
t h e school. Again this summer the Auburn
board was the target of controversy, and
as a result of this political warfare, Governor
Folsom has not n a m e d a trustee
from the third district.
J u s t how much longer m u s t the adm
i n i s t r a t i v e forces of Auburn be placed
in a s t a t e of political warfare? The Plainsman
sincerely hopes that the state lawmakers
will take some action to remove
this cancer from the h e a r t of Auburn. Although
we do not offer a solution to this
complex problem, we are opposed to the
present method of selection of board members.
We hope that someday the appointment
to the Board will not be the subject
of controversies, but t h a t these appointments
will be given on the basis of
real ability as administrators . The present
board reflects all of the essential dignity,
prestige, and ability required of such a
group. However, as a safeguard for the
f u t u r e we firmly believe that a system
f r e e of political bickering should replace
t h e present outdated system of selection
to the board.
Are Student Activities Worthwhile?
While you are attending Auburn it is
I your privilege to be able to participate in
a myriad of extra-curricular activities.
| These are not compulsory, but without
'• them your college life is incomplete. The
• student who binds himself so closely to his
; work that he neglects all other forms of
' campus activity is missing an opportunity
which he may never again receive.
Student activities provide a broad association
with other men, and dealing
• with others in college will help any student
to be more successful in association
. With his fellow men in later life. Moreover,
extra-curricular activities, by giving
the student an opportunity to assume
responsibility a n d to combine practical
work with technical instruction, give him
experience which will prove beneficial in
his choice of vocation, no matter what* it
may be.
Whatever your motive for entering into
extra-curricular activities—the desire for
honors, the liking of a particular sort of
work, or the satisfaction of doing a job
well—you will find them invaluable in
opening new paths for your happiness in
college and your success in your life work.
The "Something Else" A Man Needs
At best, religion is something which
should not be discussed in a mixed denominational
gathering. Like politics, it
is best to steer the conversation away—
and into more neutral channels.
All men have minds and hearts and no
matter what their outward appearance
may reveal to others, they all have a code,
a philosophy of life—a religion, if you like
—by which they govern their lives. Without
this faith in the Almighty, a faith
which lies always within their souls, they
are helpless.
We often think of the words by Emerson:
"So night is grandeur to our dust,
So near is God to man . . . "
From the humblest of us to the most
overbearing t h e r e is some little spark,
some little emotion to, which man clings
that helps him over the rough spots along
the way and gives him the fortitude to
stick out his chin and carry on.
He may shy away from the obvious
sentimentality, but he nevertheless clings
to his own ideals of religion. Religion is
a comforting thing. It is the only thing
that is secure. If it is intangible and a bit
incomprehensible even to the individual,
It is that vagueness and intangibility that
make it more permanent and lasting. Religion
is like a little book which can be
slipped into the corner of a pocket and
carried wherever one goes. It is always
there, right where it should be, and itxan
always be pulled out and used when it
is needed the most.- On a train, walking
down a busy street, climbing hills at night
—it is always with us. And without our
''philosophy of life" we are lost. It would
seem that the true test of those philosophies
would be their ability to stand by
us in the time of emergency. A man's belief,
a man's faith, a man's philosophy is
the only thing on which he can rely. It
is this philosophy that mo! Is a man's'
character—that makes him what he is.
It is always amusing w h e n someone
says that he is an atheist — and looks
around to see what sort of a shocking impression
he has created on the gathering.
Because we are sure that in reality he is
truly more of a deist than he realizes.
It behooves us all to walk with tolerance
beneath the portals of the many
faiths and cults which surround us and to
realize that through these gates our fel-lowmen
seek for Life, the Way, and the
Light.

Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
If you are an average Auburn student, you probably spend
anywhere from seven to eighteen dollars every q u a r t e r on
coffee. If so, your daily cup, or cups, of caffeine should be of
no l i t t l e concern to you. Again, if you a r e an average student,
you no doubt grumble about t h e q u a l i t y of t h e mUd served in
t h e local ptomaine ptaverns each time you drink -a cup.
All of which leads up to, if
McTeer
rather vaguely, a poll taken by
the Crimson-White. Alabama student
weely, to determine if poor
Java is synonomous with a college
campus. Many schools were
contacted, and the result was as
expected: few campuses use
quality coffee as a drawing card.
Minnesota claims a formula
which has been
carefully tested
over a period of
time. It calls for
three parts water;
five parts
coffee, and two
parts kerosene.
This is a l so
highly regarded
as a substitute
for T.N.T.
Harvard rivals
this with
the perfection of a synthetic product
which rivals methopropyl-butane
in consistency and possible
commercial uses.
The University of Houston reports
that coffee there has caused
so many ulcers that they (the
ulcers) do close-order drill in bay
windows.
deorgia Tech carefully guards
the secret of its process, but hints
that a chief ingredient is water
that has been used to mop floors.
If any local students have pertinent
comments to add to these
and give the Crimson-White a
clear picture of coffee time at
Auburn, we will be glad to forward
this information immediately.

College students should make
every effort possible toward enlarging
their vocabularies. Each
week this column will pick several
words which have somehow
been neglected by Yosef Kollege
and which should be added immediately.
Since the logical place
to begin would be with the letter
"A", let's start with "C."
Here are the word musts for the
week:
cuittle—to coax; to wheedle; to
tickle
culbut—to drive back in confusion
cush-cush—a tropical American
yam (Diocorea trifida) with small
tubers of superior quality
The practical value of mastering
these words is obvious.

At most schools which require
freshmen to wear Rat caps, the
frosh have an opportunity to shed
their dingies earlier than the end
of the first year, if a certain requirement
is met. Usually the
occasion is the winning of a football
game with the state rival, or
some similar feat.
The University of Alabama has
adopted the plan whereby if the
Crimson Tide lucks up and beats
Auburn this year, the Capstone
Rats can pack up their crimson
caps in moth balls and assume the
grave countenance of upperclass-men.
The installation of this plan at
Auburn should go a long way toward
creating a highly spirited
freshman class when the two rivals
meet this December 3.
* * *
Many changes took place on
the campus between quarters, but
few have more importance than
the new parking regulations on
Thach Street. Parking is now prohibited
in the busy area between
the College Street corner and the
new classroom building.
The condition that existed has
been the subject of many complaints
through editorials, columns
and letters in The Plainsman
in the past, and it is gratifying
to know that something has
finally been done that should partially
eliminate the potential
death trap condition.

The entire school should be
grateful to whoever is responsible
for setting the date for Homecoming.
For the past few years
the event has taken place soon
after the opening date of the fall
quarter, imposing a hardship on
all concerned. Hardly had the activities
connected with school's
beginning waned when plans for
the Homecoming week end had to
be worked out. The new date allows
ample time for decoration
preparation, election of Miss
Homecoming and her court, and
other activities which are a part
of the event.
About seven miles out- on the
highway to Birmingham there is
a telephone pole.
Now this is not so unusual in
itself; there are telephone poles
in almost every large state east
of the Mississippi. The unconven-tionality,
of this telephone pole
lies in the fact that it has no visible
means of supporting itself.
Not one strand of wire is attached
to the pole. No flag flutters
from its tip. It doesn't even provide
a comfortable roost for birds.
But it faithfully stands there,
rain or shine, as rigid and dignified
as a neglected telephone pole
can be.
It is quite difficult to account
for the presence of the pole. Perhaps
it was placed in its position
of isolation through the mistake
of a careless telephone company
employee, who when he realized
his error beat the rap by catching
a slow boat to Carolina, without
taking the time to remove the evidence
of his misguided handiwork.
Or maybe the pole was planned
to be an important link in
the chain of communication of a
tentative metropolis (probably to
be incorporated as Aboutseven-milesoutonthehighwaytobirming
-
hamville) which never passed the
blueprint and one-telephone-pole
stage.
And then again, possibly an eccentric
millionaire, made wealthy
through the sale on the condition
that "a lone telephone pole, without
wires, be placed in a vertical
position about seven miles out on
the highway to Birmingham
within 72 hours after the cessation
of my life."
At any rate, the pole is there,
solemn and withered, pointing
always heavenward as if thinking
of better worlds. In its present
vermiculate condition it serves
no one. It is entirely useless. It
is too small for use as the mast of
a ship, and it is too large to use
as fence posts. It is too soft for
furniture, and it is too hard for
firewood. It is too supple for
rafters but too stiff for use by a
builder of boats, ^ t is a little too
inclined to splinter for any
chance of being carved into a
totem pole, and it is not worth
the trouble it would take to
shave it into toothpicks.
It would seem that this particular
telephone pole is doomed
to a life of quietly standing upright
through rain and wind until
finally, weakened by the attacks
of unsympathetic larvae
and woodpeckers, it topples to
the ground, never to rise again.
And, unless something is done for
the pole soon, I am very • much
afraid that this very thing will
happen. If you, dear reader, are
interested in averting this obvious
calamity, you may send a
contribution—just anything at
all—to the Committee in Charge
of Feeling Sorry for the Useless
and Wireless Telephone Pole
About Seven Miles out on the
Highway to Birmingham, in care
of the Plainsman office.

Generally Speaking &$to-'a**v*
It seems to have been the custom
heretofore for the personal
columnist to state the reason behind
the title of his column and
also to give a short (25 words or
less) outline of his general theme.
I don't know just exactly how this
got started except that the respective
scriveners figured that the
reader was due at least one coherent

The origin of the title, "Generally

by human hands, the title

Letter To The Editor
If you have as much trouble as
I have in finding time to do all
the reading that the quarter system
forces on us, you will be interested
in learning about a newly-
developed system of faster
reading. Allen Rankin, in his column
in Sunday's Montgomery Advertiser,
discussed a method that
the Air Force has developed at
Maxwell Field for improving its
officers' reading speed.
The group has found that the
average educat-
.:', ** -» ed a d u l t can
read only about
270 words per
minute. After
about six weeks
of practice, the
pilots at Maxwell
u s u a l ly
s p e e d up to
a b o u t 1,100
words. One student
has been
able to r a ce
along at 2,295
Cannon words per minute.
That is more, than eight
times as fast as the average adult.
At the rate of 1,000 words a minute,
Rankin says you can read 250
books a year if you spend an
hour a day at it. That would be
just. about all the reading anybody
would want to do.
While many people believe that
they comprehend more by reading
slowly, Dr. Murray Lincoln
Miller, who directed the reading
lab at the Air University, says
this is not true. Nation-wide tests
prove that you understand more
if you read faster.
"Most people say the words
that they read—not out loud, but
somewhere in the back of their
minds," says Dr. Miller. "Thus,
their reading speed is limited to
their talking speed."
Two devices have been developed
to aid the reader. One is a machine
which moves a curtain down
over the page, forcing the reader
to stay ahead of it. The other is
called a tachistoscope. This device
flashes large numbers on a
screen for a short time, thereby
training the eye to see more at a
single glance.
Complete courses modeled after
the Maxwell project have been
installed at Birmingham-Southern
and Howard Colleges and at
'-'Birmingham's University Center.
' I'd like to suggest that the proper
authorities at Auburn look into
this plan and try to develop a
similar course here. It would certainly
be a boon to students in
their school work, and it would
also aid in keeping up with what's
going on in the world.

The Plainsman
Auburn, Alabama
Dear Editor:
I suppose you would call this
the height of something or other,
but -it's funny to me that with
all the many thousands of dollars
the school is spending on new
buildings and paving around the
campus that the communications
students can't get a few minor
improvements around the A. C.
Lab.
All we ask is about 12 feet of
sidewalk at the foot of the stairs
going upstairs in the building so
that we won't have to wade mud
when the typical Auburn weather
starts in. Also can't something
please be done about those
ramshackle wooden steps at the
rear of the building. In the condition
they are now in they are
a menace to the life and limb of
the students that have to use
them.
I feel sure that I speak for the
majority of the students that have
classes upstairs in the A. C. Lab.
Very truly yours,
Thomas R. Perry
Bottom Of

By Roger McClarty
Auburn is a growing institution
of higher learning in services,
enrollment, faculty, and
material plant. In the past, when
we have outgrown the existing
faculties, the men who are responsible
for the direction of our
school haven't hesitated doing
something about it.
With this fine progress being
made in all departments,
why
can't we have
the same attitude
about the
outgrown name
we are burdened
with? At the
present t i me
A u b u r n has
nine full-time
s c h o o l s and
numerous divi-s
i o n s within
them. The ar-g
u m e n t s for
changing the name of Alabama
Polytechnic Institute to Auburn
University are numerous. Popu-uar
polls all favor it, ease and
convenience speak for it.
I recently had an enlightening
experience concerning our unused
name, "Alabama Polytechnic
Institute." I paid a visit to an official
in the Graduate School of
Emory University in Atlanta. We
discussed my further study at that
school, and in the course of the
conversation he inquired where
I had taken my previous training.
I replied with the full title of our
school. TRe good man looked a
bit puzzled, so I hastily added,
"Auburn." He t h e n nodded,
smiled and said, "Oh yes, of
course."
Here we had a responsible educator
in a university only a 116
miles from us who had to stop
to think before recognizing a
school he knew very well when
the word "Auburn" was mentioned.
I don't believe this was an isolated
case, but it was just another
example of Auburn outgrowing aft
antiquated name.

Several Scholarships And Loan Funds
Are Available To Students At Auburn
By Gene Moore
Are you broke? Have you canceled all social engagements
for the remainder of the month, or at least until the next
check arrives from home? Perhaps you are unaware of the
many opportunities offered to Auburn students or prospective
students in the form of scholarships and loan funds.
Provided by friends—individuals
and organizations — of the
college, these scholarships and
loans, are presented to worthy
students who are unable to meet
college1 expenses. For some of
them only special groups of students
may apply, but others are
open for application to any student,
regardless of his military
experience, sex, or choice of major.
Scholarships may be extended
beyond one quarter, if the student's
grades and past record
warrant it.
Dick Hutchinson
staff. He especially urged freshmen
and underclassmen to try
for these positions to train for
leadership on the staff in future
years. v
As a rule, an Auburn freshman
may procure a loan if he is highly
recommended, and if his recommendation
is backed up by an
average grade of "B" or better
for his years in high school. The
loan is limited to the payment of
basic fees for the quarter and is
required to be secured by a promissory
note with two endorsees,
one*of whom must be the father
or guardian of the recipient of
the loan.
A complete list of scholarships
and loan funds mya be found in
the Tiger Cub, student handbook,
under the heading,."Financial Aid
to Students". If your impecunious'
situation places you in an embarrassing
p o s i t i o n when the
laundryman comes to collect, you
may make application for a scholarship
or a loan to Mr. P. M. Norton,
secretary of the scholarship
committee. '
Chappell Explains
Rent Regulations
The college student who rents
an apartment or lives in a
rooming-house off-campus in
Auburn still has the protection of
rent control against overcharges
and unwarranted eviction, area
rent director W. R. Chappell said
yesterday.
College-operated housing accommodations
were freed from
rent*control on July 29, and dormitory
rooms were previously
exempted. Also exempt are furnished
sleeping rooms in private
residences where there 'are no
more than two paying guests or
couples, and newly built units or
conversions completed after Feb.
1, 1947.
Ceiling rents still apply, however,
to most privately-owned
rooming houses, apartments and
houses in this area. In' addition,
trailers and trailer spaces not
used for transient occupancy the
Housing and Rent Act of 1949
brings under rent control again,
the rent official said.
"Every student _ who rents a
room or other living accomodation
subject to rent control is entitled
to see the registration
statement on that particular unit,"
Mr. Chappell advfsed. "This
statement- will tell him how
much rent to pay and the services
to expect in return for the
rent."
"If the owner is unable to produce
the registration form, the
renter m«y visit or write our of*
fice at 308-10th St., Columbus,
Ga. and we'll provide the information
from our files," he added.
The fact that a landlady asks a
higher rent for the same room
over last spring may not mean a
violation of rent ceilings, Mr.
Chappell advised: Rent increases
have been granted in many cases I
where the owner's costs have increased
or past rents have been
below those for comparable accomodations.
And some dwelling
units have been decontrolled because
the owner has created additional
living accomodations by
conversion.

Football, Wrestling, and Horseshoes
Included In Fall Quarter Intramurals
By J. C. Sellers
I n t r a m u r a l athletics in Auburn will get underway when
t h e touch football season begins Monday, October 10.
The intramural program is divided i n t o two main
branches, the independent a n d the inter-fraternity, w i th
equal facilities' available to each. Each of the two branches
are subdivided into leagues which
play a regular schedule.
At the end of the quarter the
winners of each league will enter
a playoff to determine the independent
and the inter-fraternity
champions. For the winning fraternity
and the winner of the
church league this counts heavily
toward the winning of the all-year
sports award.
One of the greatest attractions
of intramural athletics is the ease
with which an individual or a
team can enter. A team can be
entered with little effort and no
cost. To enter a team, merely elect
a manager and have him turn in
a team roster to Coach Evans at
the physical education dept. in
Alumni Gym.
The squad should include several
subs as only the men on the
roster will be eligible to play.
Each team entered will be furnished
a football to use during the
season.
Trophies Awarded
Another feature is the awarding
of trophies to the victors. A
team trophy is presented the winning
frat, while each member of
the winning independent club receives
a medal.
The season's climax is the all-star
game in which the independent
all-stars oppose the fraternity
stars.
The rules governing intramural
play are practically the
same as last year. All students
are eligible except those who lettered
in the sport and those on
the varsity squad at the present
time. The only change this year
"concerns the eligibility of pledges.
Now a pledge cannot participate
in a sport but one season.
He has to be initiated before he
is eligible for a second season. A
complete set of rules can be found
in the Tiger Cub.
One of the problems this year
is the need of officials for the
games. Coach Evans said that he
needs several men with enough
experience to referee a game. All
who are interested should see
Coach Evans at Alumni Gym.
The pay for each game is one dollar.

Maurice Bloch And The Auburn Spirit
When the freshman football teams of Auburn and the

S a t u r d a y night in Selma, t r i b u t e will be paid to an Auburn
alumnus Known far and wide as one of the greatest of Tiger
boosters. Maurice Bloch graduated from Auburn in 1908 and

Bloch Bros. H a r d w a r e Co. for many years.
Through a q u a r t e r of a century—from 1915 to 1940—Bloch
was a tireless worker in Auburn alumni affairs and served
as president of the state Auburn Alumni Association. He
t r a v e l e d the length and b r e a d t h of the country in following
his beloved Tigers. A great s t o r y teller and after-dinner
speaker, Bloch could take ribbing about Tiger teams and always
bring the house down with impromptu remarks.
No one thrilled to the "War Eagle" battle cry nor felt
stronger the meaning of "The A u b u r n S p i r i t " t h a n did Bloch.
His keen memory for games, plays, and players was a constant
storehouse of facts for newspapermen who regarded him
Although the fall sports agenda
is primarily football, there are

while one game, the 1939 affair, ended in a 7-7 deadlock.
The Tigers have amassed 433 points to 223 for the Gators

Baby Tigers Open Grid Season In Selma Saturday Against Georgia Bullpups
Coach Williamson Gives Starting Lineup;
Freshman Team To Meet 3 SEC Opponents
By Jimmy Coleman
A few hours after Auburn's varsity eleven finishes battling
the Florida Gators in Mobile Saturday, another Plainsmen
grid squad, Coach John Williamson's Baby Tigers, will
swing into action 170 miles to the n o r t h against t h e University
of Georgia Bullpups in a night encounter at Selma.
Game time is 8 p.m.
For the senior squad it will be | tains several All-State and All-the
second Southeastern foe of Southern performers and one
the season while the frosh are | Ail-American. The latter is Bob-opening
their three-game sched- ' by Rhed, 190-pound guard from
ule which includes Georgia Tech j McComb High, McComb, Miss,
and Alabama—both games to be
played in Auburn on Nov. 11 and
Irrespectively.
The Selma contest will be
staged in honor of the late Maurice
I. Broch, an Auburn alumnus
and keen follower of athletics
on t h e Plains for many
years. Citizens of the Black Belt
city are cooperating to make the
game a tribute to his memory.
Many Auburn followers are
eager to view this year's crop of j
freshmen. They are anxious to
see first-hand the material designed
to place Auburn back in
the race as a dangerous SEC contender.
Starting Lineup
Probable starting line-up fo»
the Baby Tigers will be Ernest
Baker and Lee Hayley at ends,
Breece Barley and Mort Vaser-berg
at tackles, Bobby Rhed and
Foy Thompson at guards, and
Dick Gagliardi at center. In the
backfield, there will be Dudley
Spence at quarterback, Fred Hal-big
at right half, Jack Kuykendall
at left half, and Don Blackerby at
fullback.
Coach Williamson's s q u ad
numbers around 45 strong and
includes seven stalwarts from
above the Mason-Dixon line. The
remaining youngsters are all
from the South with 21 homegrown
Alabamians heading the
list. Georgia contributes seven
and South Carolina, Tennessee,
and Mississippi are represented
by two each. Texas and Florida
boast one each.
Largest of the Baby Tigers are
tackles Mort Vaserberg, a 6-4,
215-pounder from Birmingham,
and Wyman (Gip) Gibson from
Paris, Tenn., who packs the same
avoirdupois on a 5-10 "frame. '
Smallest of the Auburn frosh
are two left halfbacks who have
"name" connections. One is Jack
Kuykendall, Sallis, Miss., who is
a brother of Curtis, a fleet Tiger
tailback who made the SEC second
team two years (1944-45).
The other is Bobby Jordan, a
game little speedster from Birmingham
and a brother to Jimmy
Jordan, the present "mighty
mite" of the Georgia Tech back-field.
Both are 5-8 and weigh
145-pounds.

Auburn band of today boasts a
membership of more than 100.
The band is augmented by majorettes
and a corps of marching
girls, to be known this year as
the Tigerettes.
As many former bandsmen as

for have been sent invitations to
j the event. Those who have received
notice of the event are
urged to get in touch with either

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
IOOK AT Sheedy all puffed up with pride. And to think that
only last week he almost croaked when he found he couldn't
pass the Finger-Nail Test. Then a friend put him wise to
Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic. Now he's the big noise on the
campus. Non-alcoholic Wildroot contains Lanolin, keeps hair
neat and well-groomed all day long. Relieves annoying dryness,
removes loose, ugly dandruff. So if you haven't switched
to Wildroot, better hop to it right away. Get Wildroot Cream-
Oil in bottles or tubes at your nearest drug or toilet goods
counter. And don't froget to ask your barber for professional
applications! (One at a time, of course I)

Student Executive Cabinet Serves
As Student-Administration Liaison
By Bruce Greenhill
On any campus, t h e r e is a definite need for some form of
student legislative body. Here at Auburn, this function is
t h e business of t h e Student Executive Cabinet and i t s various
committees. The cabinet is the s t a r t i n g point for all student
movements and serves as a s t u d e n t - f a c u l t y go between.
There are twelve regular mem-
FRESHMAN FOOTBALL ROSTER
bers of the Cabinet, four special
members, and a number of ex-officio
members. The regular
members are the four cabinet
officers and eight representatives
from the respective classes. The
president of each class serves as
a special member and there are I
ex-officio members representing |
various organizations such as the
A.I.O., The Plainsman, the I.F.C.
and other organizations accepted
by the cabinet. All members have
the right to vote except the ex-officio
representatives; all have
discussion and de'oate privileges.
All the preliminary business is
carried out in committees and the
various sub-committees. The committee
is the basic element of the
cabinet and all moves are originated
and organized in committee
meetings prior to consideration
by the executive cabinet at
the regularly scheduled meetings.
The Rat Cap Committee is responsible
for the sale of rat caps
to freshmen and, in conjunction
with the A-Club, enforces the
wearing of them.
