3—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, March 8, 1950 MVV SPECTROGRAPH MACHINE ON CAMPUS
Physics Department Busy Building
Complex Mass Spectrograph For Lab
Dr. H. E. Carr of the physics department is completing
the construction of a complex mass spectrograph which is a
part of the research program here at Auburn. The apparatus
is expected to be ready for use sometime during the spring
quarter.
Spectrograph^ research in the
separation of isotopes was accel­erated
during the war by the
separation of Uranium 235 from
U 238 in the rush for an atomic
bomb. The first U 235 was ob­tained
from this process.
The type that is being con­structed
here is a mass spectro­graph
that separates different iso­topes
of an element. Using atoms
of stable elements as targets, the
nuclei will be bombarded in the
spectrograph until ions of these
elements form. Operating in a
vacuum, these ions will be ac­celerated
by a high voltage into a
powerful magnetic field which
deflects the particles. The lighter
particles are deflected more than
the heavier ones and the amounts
of each are recorded by the mech­anism.
In designing and constructing
the spectrograph, Dr. Carr was
assisted by Cliff Dotson, Raymond
Brannon, and Whitey Larson, sen­iors
in physics. The essential ele­ments
of the spectrograph include
the electrical control system, a
vacuum pumping system, a 3000
gauss electromagnet, several am-

Col. Williamson Given
'Third Army* Award
i
Col. George M. Williamson,
former professor of military
science and tactics at A.P.I, was
awarded the "Third Army" Cer­tificate
of Achievement upon re­tirement
after 31 years of ser­vice.
Colonel Williamson graduated
from the United States Military
Academy, West Point, N.Y., in
1918, and served four years with
the Army Occupation Forces in
Coblenz, Germany, after World
War I. He ends his career as a
veteran soldier with 433 days of
including major parts in "Can­dida,"
"The Imaginary Invalid"
and the role of Matilda in the fa-'
q u a r t e r production of "Yo
Touched Me."
: In addition to acting she ha
I also had a great deal of exper
; ience in the field of directing
She was assistant director fo
"Little Brown Jug," a Player:
production, and directed the Jun­ior
Auburn Players of Lee Count;
High School in "Pierre Patelin.'
Hart began acting in the eight
I grade at Red Level High Schoo
and has been playing roles regu
larly since that time. He has mad
more than 60 appearances witl
the players, including leadin
performances in "Little Brow:
Jug," "Candida," "The Imaginary
• Invalid," "The Inspector Gener­al,"
"Oedipus the King," "The
Truth About Blayds" and "You
Touched Me." He was assistant
director of "John Loves Mary"
and is also acting as assistant di­rector
of the play in production.
Miss Riley and Hart are both
senior dramatics majors. Hart
graduates at the end of the quar
ter. Miss Riley, who enrolled in
the school of education as a fresh­man,
will finish in June. She
changed to dramatics during her
sophomore year when she acted
in her first Players role. Hart
spent his first year and one half
of college in pre-med.
Most of Hart's acting has been
in the part of character roles. He
has never played in romantic or
juvenile parts with the Players.
He selects his best performance
as that of the Captain in "You
Touched Me."
Miss Riley has played a wide
variety of characters and refuses
to single out any performance as
her best. She says, "I love 'em all.
I can't pick a favorite." She des­cribes
her role as the mother of
the Sycamore family in "You
Can't Take It With You" as
"sweet, homey and charmingly
scatter-brained," and adds, "Its.
a lot of fun to play the mother
where everyone goes around do­ing
just as he pleases." This: iis
the third play in which Ha*rt has
been cast as Miss Riley's father.
Miss Riley and Hart both hope
to do dramatic work after they
finish school. Hart is trying to
get into summer stock with the
Piper Players in Colorado. He is
primarily interested in little
theater work.

The Administration Refuses To Act
1 -1
& -
During the past school year The Plains­man
has taken stands on several ques­tions
which we have felt of great impor­tance
to the progress of Auburn and for
the good of all students. In asking for ac­tion
on certain projects, we have been
striving for something w h i c h we felt
wduld help in the development of Auburn.
L0 Teacher evaluation^ student- or col-
;ge-operafedjbook exchang^Sra unified cut
system aniWraising the student ac fee are
several of the projects to which we have
devoted a great deal of space in these edi­torial
columns. We have tried to showxhow
other schools used 'such plans, how we
could adopt such systems here, and how
these programs could prove beneficial to
the school. We have even taken polls of
the student arfd faculty to gauge opinion,
on these proposals.
We stiH believe in these projects. How­ever,
we must express disappointment at
the results of our efforts. The administra­tion
has completely avoided the issues in­volved.
They have refnsed to take a stand
on any one of these projects. If they dis­approve
of such plans, we are unable to
tell it because, of their completely ignor­ing
the issues. ' '•
Last summer, faculty and students ap­proved
of the teacher evaluation plan and
the students asked for action. Today, six
months later, no action has been taken.
• Also in the summer, a group of students
met with a Council of Deans Committee to
devise a unified cut system* The students
were told that definite action would be
taken by the end of the fall quarter. To­day,
six months later, no action has been
taken. Last fall the Student Executive Ca­binet
arfsked the Board of Trustees to raise
the student activity fee in order to do
away with buying individual tickets to the
campus athletic contests. Today, four
months later, no action has been taken. In
general, the result can be summed up in
exactly two "words: ho action.
Yet, why hasn't the administration done
something about these situations? The
solutions are hot so difficult that h takes
- a period- of months to form an opinion on
the proposals. Any real effort towards the
solving Of these problems wottld result in
a raising of the standards of Auburn and
its student body. Either a statement of re­jection
er approval of such projects is
needed in all of these situations.
We are not entering a mere chronic
gripe, We believe that we have a legiti­mate
criticism. Jt is indeed shameful that
the administration of this school has neg­lected
to take action on proposals which
could help in the development of Auburn.
It is very disheartening to think that our
administration does not have ah opinion
on these proposals. Although students have
repeatedly asked for administration op­inions
and actions, none have been receiv­ed.
The present policy appears to be that
of "masterly inactivity."
Campus Beautification Program Advances
Although'there is considerable progress
yet to be made, one t>f the most not-able
improvements on the Auburn campus dur­ing
the past year is—the campus itself.
Where barren, rocky soil once sprawled
in all its ugliness, there are now signs of
beauty in the form of tender grass shoots
that will one day mature into a carpety
greensward.
' The gift of $1700 worth of shrubbery
from King's Nursery which has been ex­pertly
placed around the field house al­ready
has improved the premises, and
someday will transform its environs into a
place of even greater attractiveness.
The Plainsman realizes that the plant­ing
of grass and greenery is both expensive
ahd time-consuming, but firmly believes
all the effort and funds spent will pay fu­ture
divicterids.
Besides the important fact that growing
A Contrast Among Students
In Berlin, Germany this morning, 2,000
young people climbed out of thin-mattres-sed
beds in various parts of the city, ate
breakfasts of black bread and lukewarm
coffee and wended their bleak ways to the
group of uncorrected buildings they call
their Free University of Western Berlin.
In Berlin today students are talking
about their student council and its cur­rent
business of trying to fin'd jobs for
the students who need jobs, which is al­most
all of them.
In Berlin the students crowd into class­rooms
that are barely large enough to
contain the number enrolled in the cour­ses.
Since the last session they have armed
themselves with questions about the sub- '
ject and spend the hour in discussing and
taking thrifty notes.
In Berlin today the students are plan­ning
to go to a big campus dance tonight.
There's an American jazz band that's sup­posed
to play, but it really doesn't matter.
The main thing is that for a few gay hours
it will be easier to forget what happened
a few years ago, when they Were younger
and gayer and should have been having a
good time in college.
* * *
In Baton Rouge, La., today, 7,000 young
things protect the soil and prevent un­sightly
and ruinous erosion, a well-mani­cured
campus is an excellent advertise­ment
for the college. Count the thousands
of visitors who annually visit the college
grounds of "the loveliest village"—then
try to imagine what their impression
would be upon viewing a neat, well-kept
campus as opposed to a run-down, trashy
span of acreage unattended and rent with
washed-out gullies and mud-puddles.
Naturally, pride is reflected in the well-kept
campus, and lack of interest in the
neglected property.
So, more power to the department of
buildings and grounds for their program
of beautifying the premises. Auburn has
the space and layout to potentially rank
in campus beauty with Penn State, North­western,
and any of the nation's outstand­ing
colleges. It can be a reality.
people resisted the urge to t h r o w the
alarm out the window and snuggle deeper
uhder a couple of woolen blankets, got up
and ate breakfast of sweet rolls, scrambled
eggs and orange juice (or of Cokes and
candy bars) and made their way across
a verdant, well-landscaped campus to a
group'of orderly, North Italian-type build­ings
they call LSU.
•In Baton Rouge the students are talk­ing
about their Student Council which- is
right now grappling with, among other
things, the problem of whether the cheer­leaders
should get keys or sweaters.
In Baton Rouge the students trickle into
classrooms wondering what the heck the
prof is talking about in this silly course
and sit for an hour drawing doodles, writ­ing
letters or taking a few token notes.
In Baton Rouge the students are plan­ning
to take in a movie or shoot some
pool or go dancing tonight. It really does­n't
matter which. The main thing is that
for a few gay hours they can put off writ­ing
that term paper or finishing that chap­ter.

And all over the world, each in his
own way, students are in pursuit of an
education.

I hardly know how or what to begin writing this week, just
having recovered from one of the most serious shocks I have
ever received. The status quo has recently been severely upset,
by the very apologetic announcement of local drugs salesmen
that Hadacol will be limited in the future to six bottles per

8 t h e country's
chief p a t e nt
medicine com­pany
has rend­ered
me obmut-escent,
I shall
rely upon the
reporting of an
opinion sympo­sium
of six stu­dents
who jour­neyed
to Louis­ville
for t he
SEC basketball tourney last week
end. With no pretense at being
professional scouts, or pickers,
the group named their choices to
the usual classifications which
follow spprt meets.
Named to our all-tournament
team were Ed Montgomery, Ten­nessee,
and Joe Dean, L.S.U.,
guards; Bill Spivey, Kentucky,
center; Bob Healy, Georgia, Walt
Hirsch, Kentucky, and Jim Line,
forwards (three-way tie).
Honorably mentioned were Art
Burris, Tennessee, center; Gens
Murphy, L.S.U., Herb Hargett,
Mississippi State, and H u gh
Jones, Tennessee, guards; Bob
Schneider, Alabama, and Coyt
Vance, Mississippi State, for­wards.
Voting for the most outstand­ing
individual performer was
split. Three favored Ed Mont­gomery,
two Joe Dean, and one
Bill Spivey. The Tennessee-
L.S.U. game was unanimously ac­claimed
the number one game of
-the tourney.
Billy Joe Adcock was named
sion. Kentucky was pushing the
locals in this field up unto final
time however. Mississippi State"s
fight against Kaintuck was com­mended
as the scrappiest.
So there you have it, for all its
worth. As I said before, it's not
professional, but merely from the
layman's view-point.

Jim Watson, producer, director,
and star of "Bustin' Loose," re­ports
that advance publicity not­ices
in LaGrange, Ga., where the
show is slated to appear tomor­row
night, have brought on a
small amouflt of confusion. (
To build up interest among
townspeople, the LaGrange Daily
News, sponsors of the show, has
been running fictitious classified
ads similar to those that appear­ed
in this paper previous to the
show's production here.
The one that brought on all the
trouble stated: "Help! I am lock­ed
in baggage storage compart­ment
in the bus station. Please let
me out in time to see 'Bustin'
Loose.' " One serious - minded
member of the local U.D.C., who
is one of LaGrange's most stal­wart
citizens, popped into the
News office in a rage, demanding
to see. the man in charge.
The editor pawned her off on
the advertising manager, and she
stormed, "I've been reading your
ad about that person locked in the
baggage locker for the last three
days, and have carefully checked
every locker there. There's no one
there, and I want you to /quit
running that notice!"
Incidentally, it is authentically
reported that spotters from a na­tional
television company will be
on hand to observe individual
performers with the show.

Since I, like many other males,
sometimes feel a little tired of
and bitter at the o 1 d standard
way of reporting a wedding (as
if the groom wasn't even there),
I'd like to try my hand at writ­ing
a reverse-order writeup.
Here goes:
The Tuskegee Highway Casino
was the scene of the marriage of
_ Joseph College
to Annie Dorm­itory
last Sat­urday
n i g h t.
The groom was
reluctantly do­nated
in matri-m
o n y by his
paternal par­ent,
George A.
College.
The scene of
the crime was
bea u t i f u 11 y
gorgeous pots of
prickly pear cacti and skunk cab­bage.
A carpet of Pitts H o t el
bath towels, h e l d together by
paper clips, was laid along the
groom's intended path to the
bandstand where the services
were held.
As the guests assembled, the
pianist played the sentimental
favorite, "Raggmopp." Just be­fore
the ceremony began, the
vocalist sang "Wedding Bells Are
Breaking Up That Old Gang of
Mine."
All eyes were trained on the
groom as he was sedately shoved
down the aisle by his father. He
was strikingly attired in midnight
blue overalls trimmed with tarn-
, Greenhill
decorated with
ished brass buttons. The drape of
his beautiful outfit, suspended by
two charming denim shoulder
straps, formed a most daring de­collete
effect at the neckline.
In his right hand, the blushing
boy carried a seven-pronged crys­tal
candelabra (in case he had to
light out) and in his left hand, he
fondled a copy of the Esquire
"Whiskey Intelligencer." A beer-bottle
label marked his place at
the section entitled "Sledgeham­mers
and Purple Passion."
The ceremony went off beau­tifully
with only one hitch—the
marriage.
A hush went over the audience
as the ceremony began (the bride
having entered unheeded from a
side door). The groom was radi­ant
as he stood there.
When the question, "Does any­one
object to this marriage?" was
asked, t h e groom whispered
quaintly, "I do!"
Later in the ceremony, when
asked if he took the woman as
his lawful wedded wife, the
charming young man answered,
"What else can I do?"
The groom's "something old"
was the old bag he married, his
"something new" was the shiny
new Roosevelt dime his doting
father had given him, his "some­thing
borrowed" was the two
bucks he paid "Marrying Hodge"
with, and his "something blue"
was his dashing midnight blue
pair of overalls.
The bride a l s o attended the
ceremony.
"If decent people will continue
to be intoxicated by the synthe­tic
spirit of partriotism, pumped
into them by megalomaniac lead­ers,
and will continue to h a ve
faith in the 'security' provided for
those lethal weapons sold to them
by the armaments industry, then
war is inevitable; and the world
will soon resolve itself into the
semblance of an ant hill govern­ed
by the commissars who owe
their power to the profudity of
their contempt for the individual
of their species."
Robert E. Sherwood wrote
these words of advice in 193C as
a postscript to his play, "Idiot's
Delight." This play, which was
first presented in 1936, was di­rected
at the war madness and
fear in Europe at that time.
Fear is truly the idiot's delight.
And much to my sorrow we are
giving birth to a great deal of
fear through such present-day
tactics as carrying out witch
hunts which are paralleled only
in some of the totalitarian states.
Instead of giving- guidance to the
rest of the world in matters of
great importance, we a r e con­ducting
investigations of our own
citizens and pointing an accusing
finger at many innocent indivi­duals.
Are we fulfilling our obli­gation
of setting a pattern for'
democracy and world peace? I
think we are failing miserably.
Sen. Joseph McCarthy (Rep.,
Wis.) in several highly publiciz­ed
speeches claimed that he had
a list of 205 state department em­ployees
who were members of the
Communist party. After m u ch
denying and back-tracking, t he
rabble-rousing Congressman ad­mitted
that there were only four
w i t h Communistic connections
and of the four only one was em­ployed
in the state department. '
Not long ago, the head of our
Atomic Energy Commission was
investigated at the insistance of
an Iowa senator. Again nothing
was proved. Another Congress­man,
John Rankin (spelled RanK-KKin
in some sources) has
brought forth the ridiculous idea
of discarding Einstein from the
U.S. »
This country h a s become so
Communist conscious through the
ignorant actions of these men of
importance that the entire nation
is threatened with a wave of fear
and distrust for their fellow coun­try
men. This is exactly what the
Commies want this country to do.
We are playing right into their
hands.
Fear is one of the best modern
weapons of war. Hitler used it in
Europe at the outbreak of World
War II and crushed the nations
surrounding him. Stalin is well
acquainted with fear. In fact, Mr.
Beria of t h e Politbureau heads
the well-tagged "Ministry of
Fear."
President Franklin D. Roose­velt
knew the power of fear and
h o w to handle it. • His classic
statement during the crucial
period of 1933 /that "we h a ve
nothing to fear but fear itself"
served as a guide for the stumbl­ing
American people. Surely we
h a v e not forgotten one of
F.D.R.'s four freedoms so soon:
"freedom from fear."
One of the methods of the to­talitarian
states is to divide and
rule. They are suceeding in doing
this in many places in the U.S.
T h e y are placing neighbor
against neighbor, race against
r a c e , labor against business,
and so on. By instilling mass
hysteria in the nation, they are
slowing up progress. The o n ly
way we can overcome these tac­tics
is to f a c e these problems
squarely, without emotion and
anger.
If our leaders continue to go
about accusing whomever they
disagree with, no one can be safe.
If we will wait for the facts be­fore
we make hasty judgements,
we can save a lot of ruined lives
and reputations. Insecurity is
nothing new in the United States.
We were founded as an insecure
nation and have lived through it.
Now as a world power we are
more insecure^
There is no need-for this fear
and distrust. We must face our
problem squarely. Communism is
basically a religion and can not
be blotted out by force. It must
be dealth with by another re­ligion
which is more dynamic and
strengthening. We must show to
our people, as well as the people
of the world, that "It is only the
fear of God that can deliver us
from the fear of man."

If you're not adequately pre­pared
for all your exams — and
who is?—you may be interested in
reading the results of a few of
the surveys and polls which have
recently been conducted in order
that more might be learned about
that strange talent possessed by
only a gifted few college students,
the ability to study. These "study
studies," which have been made
with the cooperation of college
students' from just about every­where,
must prove something con­clusively,
but so far I haven't
been able to figure out what it is.
A .professor at a university
away up in Ohio has sneaked (or
is it snuck?) up and down lover's
lanes for months and has at last
decided that students who date
frequently make better grades,
paradoxal as this may seem.
The reason for this, exclaims
the cupidinous doctor, is that dat­ing
brings good social adjustment.
Also, it "gives a free mind for
learning." Yeah, prof, and if they
have a free mind, they can learn
plenty on those dates, too!
Another survey revealed that
the average college student spends
from three to four hours per day
in studying. When this is added to
the time spent sitting around in
classrooms, the student "working
week" totals almost 50 hours, not
counting extra-curricular activi­ties.
According to this poll, the ele­ment
which most distracted the
students during study was "loud
talking within the buildings." The
report does not indicate whether
the loud talking was done in the
dormitories by roommates or in
t h e classrooms b y professors.
Many students have expressed a
desire that instructors be given
training in public speaking. A
number of professors, they insist,
lecture on nothing worthwhile,
but nonetheless speak so loudly
that the average student cannot
get even 39 winks during the lec­ture.
Another blob of research—this
survey was conducted in Illinois
—was made public by a teacher
of psychology, who seems to think
that day dreaming is the worst
enemy to study. He doesn't men­tion
night-dreaming, but (if we
may believe the evidence uncov­ered
by "still another poll) only
7.2 per cent of students do all
their studying at night, so night-dreaming
shouldn't m a k e too
much difference.
This s a m e Illinois professor
contends that looking up new
words in the dictionary is the
most important think in studying,
and he seems to be all for burn­ing
every book that hasn't the
name "Webster" stamped on the
cover. ,
I have compiled a list of new
(to me) words which will almost
certainly be useful on final ex­ams.
In the hope that they may
help you, too, they are presented
herewith: tattva, moue, pachysti-chous,
thurmus, sericeous, doulo-cracy,
hypotricous, io, ablepharic,
tori, gammadian, and shroff.
Of course, this list is far from
complete; the dictionary is just
chockfull of words, and these are
but a few. So set to work with a
"Hi" and a "Ho" and anything
else that's handy, and look up
some words of your own. If you
come across any good ones before
finals begin, let me know.
For the past few years there .
have been suggestions by students *
that our system of student gov­ernment
be changed from repre­sentation
by classes to representa­tion
by schools.
Although it is true that many
leading schools have this type of
government, that is no criterion.
I have o f t en
wzzftwzm wondered how
Cannon
Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of The Plains­man
you printed a letter from
three, students criticizing recent
articles dealing with state and
national politics. I wholehearted­ly
disagree with the opinion ex­pressed
in that letter.
Can those students be so short­sighted
as to be interested in on­ly
what takes place on the Au­burn
campus? I wonder if they
think the Birmingham News
should print only news from Bir­mingham,
and the Montgomery
Advertiser o n l y Montgomery
news? Surely not.
The function of the college
newspaper is to pri^t those things
which are of interest to the stu-
(Continued on page 8)
this s y s t em
works, a n d a
recent editorial
in The D a i ly
Reveille of Lou­isiana
S t a te
University gave
me at least one
point of view.
LSU is one of
the colleges that
chooses its rep­resentatives
by s c h o o l s rather
than classes. It seems however,
that the student government as­sociation
there has grown into an
inefficient maze of office-holders.
"Bureaucracy," stated the Rev­eille,
"is particularly odious to
a college government, that type
of government which should be so
simple in operation that persons
can participate in it in a part-time
fashion. Last week's meet­ing
of a college council here
proved that a type of bureaucracy
does exist at LSU."
Under a gpvernment of repre­sentation
by schools, there is a
myriad of office-holders who
simply get in each other's way.
The purpose of this large num­ber
of officers is to connect as
many people as possible with
student government.
If it performed that task, the
system would deserve praise be­cause
participation of the people
is one ingredient that govern­ments
need to keep their heads
above the waterline of apathy.
Actually, though, it does not
serve this purpose. Consider what
would happen if we adopted the
representation by schools policy
at Auburn. Instead of four sets of
class officers, we would have 36
sets of officers. There would be 4>
nothing for the lesser officers to
do except campaign once a year,
and that not very vigorously.
In short, this system would be
cumbersome, top-heavy and im­practical.
It could lead only to bu­reaucratic
government with its in­herent
inefficiencies—a govern­ment
like an octopus whose legs
are so tangled up in each other
that it cannot move.
While our system of student
government is not perfect, it Cer­tainly
is more practical and effi­cient
.than the other method.

City Youth Groups
Heed Student Aides
Volunteer workers are needed
in Auburn to help carry out the
programs of local youth organiza­tions,
it was recentfy announced
by Elizabeth Fulton, Danforth
Fellow on the campus. Auburn
students can help these organiza­tions
function properly by volun­teering
their services. "Such ser­vice
relates the college to the
community, develops leadership,
and is useful to the community,"
Miss Fulton said.
Girl Scout troops need girls as
assistant troop leaders to h e lp
junior and senior high school
girls plan a n d carry out their

Cub Scouts need boys to help
as assistant den leaders. Scouting
experience is helpful but not nec­essary

Science Makes a Belter Mop
Cleaning tasks lightened by new
Du Pont cellulose sponge yarn
Ah ordinary mop has a bad habit of
tmraveling. I t often leaves a trail of
Lint. And it wears out fast. A man
who sold yarn t o mop manufacturers
decided to do something about these
nuisances. Perhaps some reinforcing
material might be combined with the
yarn. H e did some experimental work
of his O'vVtt but more and more he
wondered if i t might be possible to
use a cellulose sponge coating.
THMffi YEARS OF RESEARCH
So the man called on Du Pont, the
company that had introduced the
cellulose sponge to America in 1936.
The suggestion of a sponge yarn pre­sented
a challenging problem.
Some way would have to be found
to extrude a tightly fitting cellulose
sponge jacket around each strand of
the yarn. The whole sponge process
would have to be adjusted for use
in an especially designed machine.
Du Pont chemists and engineers
tackled these problems.
Even t he very first cellulose sponge
yarn produced experimentally made
mops that were strong, absorbent
and durable. But t h e process had to
be changed and improved time and
time again. Then the mops were
tested in places where they would
get t h e hardest usage—railroad sta­tions,
for example.
The mops performed so well that
Du Pont built a pilot plant near
Buffalo and, under a license from
the man who had the original idea,
manufactured the yarn on a small
scale. Only after three years of study
and testing was Du Pont able to
CROSS-SECTION of the new mop yarn. Each
cotton fiber strand is jacketed with cellulose
sponge material.
offer mop manufacturers the yarn
in commercial quantities.
FASTER A N D CLEANER
Mops made with cellulose sponge
yarn pick up and retain so much
water they need wringing less often.
You catt .mop a floor with them jn
far less time than i t formerly took.
They dry quickly, leave no lint. They
outwear other mops three to five
times. Best of all, perhaps, they stay
dirt-free longer than ordinary mops.
Here is something women will ap­preciate—
a clean mop!
The introduction of these new.-
cleaning tools is another example of
how business firms Of all sizes depend
on each other. The Du Pont Com­pany
had facilities for specialized re­search
on cellulose sponge. Because
Du Pont could supply sponge yarn
economically, some twenty mop man­ufacturers
today have a better prod­uct
that saves maintenance people
and the American housewife time,
labor and money.

Plainsman Sports Editor Gives Report
Of Exciting SEC Cage Tournament
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
LOUISVILLE, KY., MARCH 5—Although Auburn's dis­appointing
showing in its lone bid for glory in this year's
SEC Tournament was neither the desired nor expected out­come
of the long trip to Louisville, the three-day affair was
not without its brighter moments.
Perhaps the weather was a con
tributing factor in the Plainsmen's
cold showing. At any rate, evi­dence
of the previous day's snow­fall,
plus the accompanying 10-
degree temperature, greeted the
Tigers upon their arrival Thurs­day.
Kentucky is still very much
in winter's grip.
Things are strictly one-way in
this Blue Grass citadel of horse
racing—from the automobile traf­fic
routing to Wildcat domination
of SEC basketball fortunes. On
Louisville's not-so-neutral Jeffer­son
County Armory court, the
Wildcats of Coach Adolph Rupp,
for the twelfth time in 18 tries,
have won the conference crown.
Underdogs Bite Hard
Kentucky, seeded first, was the
lone seeded quintet to survive
Friday's underdog uprising. The
Wildcats beat Mississippi State,
56-46, to enter the semi-finals, and
downed Georgia, 79-63, to meet
arch-rival Tennessee in the final.
Some thrilling, and surprising,
action preceded Saturday's cli­max.
Keynoter for the mass evic­tion
of the mighty was the 56-47
Mississippi State win over highly-regarded
Tulane Thursday night.
L.S.U.'s 73-45 conquest of Auburn
began Friday's quarter-final thin­ning
of the ranks.
Surprise number three was pro­vided
by a Tennessee team that
took advantage of every break and
beat Vanderbilt, 50-44. Then Ala­bama,
seeded fourth, fell before
Georgia to carry on what was a
very black F r i d a y for seeded
teams. The Tide led until the last
10 minutes, then had to scramble
for a tie. In the tournament's first
of two overtime periods, Georgia
streaked from behind in the final
40 seconds to a 52-51 win—their
second one-point victory of the
tourney.
This gives the Bulldogs three of
the six one-point wins in the
tournament's history.
Maroons Magnificent
Following the excitement of the
'Bama-Bulldog fray, a capacity
crowd leaned back to watch their
beloved W i l d c a t s "scrimmage"
against an out-classed Mississip­pi
State five. But things didn't go
off according to schedule. The
Maroons had absolutely no regard
for Kentucky's reputation. They
held the Wildcat at bay during
the first half with their deliberate
ball-handling and slow-breaking
offense.
For s h e e r determination and
spirit, the State five ranks top
spot from this point of view. Two
redheads, Coyt Vance and Jim
Nicholson, played the kind of ball
seen but once in a rare while.
Nicholson, knocked out Avhile try­ing
for a rebound, came back for
the finish as the fighting Maroons
gave the spectators a thrilling dis­play
of underdog doggedness.
By far the most exciting court
action was the initial game of the
semi-finals that saw L.S.U. and
Tennessee, two unseeded fives,
fight it out for a final berth.
Tennessee, still blazing from wins
over Georgia Tech and Vandy,
held the upper hand and - was
coasting with a seven-point lead
when the Bengal sprang to life.
L.S.U. had 46 seconds—and they
scored the necessary seven points
while the dazed Vol five failed to
tally.
Thus the tournament's second
overtime period was played. Roles
were reversed as L.S.U. held a
five-point lead with 26 seconds to
go. The Vols pulled one out of the
hat and, through a smart bit of
ball-stealing, roared to a thrilling
81-79 win, and earned for the
game the label "best of the tour­nament,"
in addition to setting a
new record for most points com­piled
in a single game (160).
The two remaining games—
Kentucky vs Georgia, and the fi­nal
between Kentucky and Ten­nessee—
were rather drab affairs
compared to the fast action of the
preliminaries.
Colorful Climax
Basketball atmosphere of an
unfamiliar sort was predominant
as Saturday night's final got un­derway.
An overflow crowd gath­ered
long before game time. The
University of Kentucky band was
seated along the sidelines to pro­vide
pre-game entertainment and
a flock of Wildcat cheerleaders
led cheers throughout the game.
Louisville takes to basketball—
especially Kentucky basketball—
with all the noise, color, and ard­ent
support of Birmingham for an
Auburn-Alabama football game.
Individual stars were numerous.
Any selection of an all-tourna­ment
team would have to consider
several angles other than primari­ly
the number of points scored.
So . . . Bob Healey, Georgia, and
Jim Line, Kentucky, at the for­ward
positions; Art Burris, Ten­nessee,
at center: Joe Dean, L.S.U.,
and Ed Montgomery, Tennessee,
at guards . . . these five we pick
as /the workhorses.
Before each session, Old Glory
,was spotlighted on its flagstaff
lowered to the center of the
court, and the Star Spangled Ban­ner
was played . . . the coaches
and players were introduced . . .
and action commenced . . . a
numerically inferior, but vocally
superior, Auburn pep section kept
the "War Eagles" going long into
the second half of the Tiger's
tilt . . . a sequel to the "14-13"
Auburn theme was a repeated
foghorn-like reminder from a Vol
fan that—"the score is Tennessee
six—Kentucky nothing—let's play
football!"
That the Wildcats are still the
masters cannot be forgotten. Coach
Rupp was not, it is evident, left
too empty-handed by graduation's
toll last spring. He has another
top - ranking aggregation w i th
Auburn Tracksters
Prep For '50 Season
By J. C. Sellers
Despite bad weather during the
past few weeks, the Tiger tracks­ters
have been pounding the cin­ders
in preparation for the com­ing
season. The harriers h a ve
been out all year and have now
buckled down for serious train­ing
in anticipation of their first
meet.
The Florida Relays will be the
first event of the season; a team
of 15 Plainsmen will enter the
Gainesville affair March 25. The
1950 edition of the Auburn thin-clads
will take to the path minus
three outstanding performers of
'49. Joe Pennington, last year's
captain and three-time confer­ence
champion in the high hurd­les,
will be missing along with
Don Woodrich, hurdler who plac­ed
behind Pennington in the SEC
last year. John Brnilovich, out­standing
javelin tosser, will also
be absent.
Returning this year in the
sprints will be Jimmy Walker,
Chauncey Wood, and Bill Davis,
all lettermen. Leading contenders
in the 440-yard dash are Dickie
Flournoy and Bill Mobberly, let­termen,
and Jim Beasley and
Duncan Bryant. Whitey Overton,
two-mile champion, Flournoy,
Jim Mitchell, and Tom Steele will
be the pace-setters in the distance
which to dominate SEC, and per­haps
national, hardwoods for
coming seasons. His present squad,
predominantly sophomore, is po­tentially
another great one.
Talk abounds to the effect that
the post-season tournament may
be discontinued—here's a vote to
the contrary. Although it's hard
to call a tournament winner the
true "champion," the SEC tourna­ment
as a well-managed, specta­tor-
appealing s p o r t s attraction
cannot be denied. It's an event
well worthy of attendance . . .
played in a different locality each
year, it could well become a top
event for the Southeast and not
just Kentucky.
Lynn Leads Tiger Cagers With 339 Points;
Other Individual Leaders Are Announced
Jimmy Coleman, sports publicity director, this week re­leased
the official individual statistics for Auburn's 1949-50
basketball team. The Tigers played 23 games during the regu­lar
season with a 17-6 record and amassed 1437 points to 1261
for the opposition.
Individual point leader for the Plainsmen was Captain Bill
Lynn with 339. W. C. Mobberly chalked up a free throw per­centage
of 81.8 to lead this department. Roy Brawner, who
saw action in all games, made good 48 of 59 charity efforts for
a 81.3 percentage.
Lynn also leads the list for number of free throws at­tempted
(137) and in the number of personal fouls committed
(64). '

Alpha Psi and Theta Chi are
the only teams left in the fight
for the f r a t e r n i t y basketball
championship as we go to press.
The two teams, who have split in
two p r e v i o u s play-off games,
were to have met last night to
decide who would play the cham­pions
from the University of Ala­bama.
Pi Kappa Alpha is the Ala­bama
champ.
Theta Chi tripped Alpha Psi,
31-23, Monday night after Alpha
Psi had beaten them last week,
35-26. Both teams have lost only
one game in the two-loss and out
tourney.
The loser of last night's contest
will automatically become the
campus second place five. The
third and fourth place spots al­ready
belong to Phi Kappa Tau
and Alpha Tau Omega respective­ly,
who were eliminated (last
week) from the play-off running.
The winner of fraternity bask­etball

7—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, March 8,1950 SURPRISE TEAM OF THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE
Auburn Quintet Defeated 73-45 By LSU
In Disappointing SEC Tourney Game
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
An Auburn quintet that surprised the conference through
the season journeyed last week end to Louisville seeded third
and again invoked some sort of surprise by bowing, 45-73, to
L.S.U. The Plainsmen, losing in tournament play, were over­whelmed
by the largest margin of the season.
The two Tiger fives met at 1:30
Friday afternoon to begin quar­ter-
final activity. L.S.U. posted a
66-57 victory over Florida Thurs­day
night to enter the second
round.
Auburn, designated the visiting
team and wearing their dark blue
travelling uniforms, proceeded to
take charge in the opening min­utes.
Bill Lynn connected for
four straight foul shots plus a
field goal to pace the Plainsmen
to a 14-7 lead after seven min­utes.
At nine minutes Auburn led,
18-9, and seemed to be in fine
form. L.S.U. was having trouble
finding the range. But here Lynn
missed two consecutive charity
throws and the Tigers slowed
down.
Joe Dean, bespectacled Bengal
guard, and Bantam Gene Murphy
then took charge of ffie situation
and dropped in two-pointers from
every angle—Auburn went into
cold storage and L.S.U. defrosted.
Within four minutes the Louis-ianians
knotted the score at 19-
all. Bob Boggess sank a free
throw to put the B a y o u boys
ahead, and that was as close as
Auburn came to the upset-con­scious
Bengals.
The half time score read 35-
22 in favor of the home team
(L.S.U.) — A u b u r n scoring but
four points in 11 minutes. The
second half found the Bengals
adding to their score while Au­burn's
basket aspirations were pi­tifully
inaccurate.
Coach Eaves shifted his lineup
repeatedly in an effort to kindle
a spark in the shivering Tigers,
but nothing worked as the com­bination
of Dean, Murphy, and
Meador continued h i t t i n g the
hoops. Dean led the L.S.U. vic­tory
with 18 points, while Cap­tain
Bill Lynn tallied 15 for the
Tigers.
A late spurt brought t he
Plainsmen to within 10 points of
the galloping Bengals, but an
alert defense broke the rally and
L.S.U. coasted in with their sec­ond
win and the second upset of
the tourney.

enough voters on this campus to
warrant coverage of state and na­tional
politics.
The outcome of issues such as
the Alabama gubernatorial elec­tion

I, for one, enjoy reading editorials
