GLOMERATA EDITOR
Ellwood Burkhardt.
I would like to briefly express
a few ideas and plans for produc­ing
a successful 1951 Glomerata.
If the budget allows this year,
I believe some full color pages
along with bigger and better snap
shot and sports sections will add
much to the 1951
| G I o m e r a t a .
Sports, both iri-t
r a m u r a l and
collegiate, a re
being etttpftasiz-
| ed on "Auburn's
; campus and I
! believe the time
| is ripe to give
\ Auburn's athle-
| tic p r o g r a m s
1 more credit.
Students for
many reasons, and not entirely
of their own fault, have in the past
often forgotten their sitting date,
To help remedy this situation,
"post cards should again be sent
one day before the sitting date,
and, every other method available
should be used to acquaint the
student body of the necessity of
getting ail their pictures in the
class sections.
One plan of organizing the
Glomerata staff would be to di­vide
the work to be done under
capable students and to give them
appropriate titles such as Manag­ing
Editor, Associate E d i t o r,
Sports Editor, Art Editor, and
Picture Editor. The freshmen and
sophomores would work under
these students and in this way
future yearbook staffs would be
trained and an excellent year­book
produced.
George Mann
In my candidacy for editor of
the 1951 Glomerata, I submit the
following qualifications: member
of two Glomerata staffs; exper­ience
on the editorial <staff of
Stars and Stripes and member of
the business staff of the 1949
Tiger Cub.
M y tenative
„ plans begin with
""' *s | a program co-j
o r d i n a t e d to
I keep enthusiasm
j within the staff,
Hl| creating m o re
I d ef i n i te di-j
visions so that
• the students can
apply themselves
I to the best of
| their ability. Ap­pointments
for
Glomerata pictures will be in the
afternoon and evening, encourag­ing
more students to have their
pictures made.
To make the Glomerata a publi­cation
more representative of the
entire student body, true life of a
typical A.P.I. will be portrayed.
GLOMERATA BUSINESS
MANAGER
Graham M. Everidge
Tomorrow is a very important
day for each student at Auburn.
You and you alone will determine
who will manage the 1951 Glom­erata.
Bear in mind that a year­book
is only as good as the work

Dr. Draughon Is Not Opposed
To Student Disciplinary Voice
By Bruce Greenhill and Graham McTcer
NOTICE
Deadline for class rings for
delivery this quarter has been
extended to Tuesday, April 18,
according to the Ring Commit­tee.
Salesmen will be stationed
in the first floor of Samford
Hall throughout Tuesday to
take orders from seniors and
juniors.
In a recent i n t e r v i ew with
it was learned t h a t the preside
p r e s e n t a t i o n on t h e Disciplinar
he places upon this proposal,
ment be non-political.
This fact came' out as a result
of a conference to study the hist­ory
and organization of the Board
in order that students could be
informed of the set-up of the
Board.
Up until 1944, discipline of stu­dents
was handled by the presi­dent
of the college and the Exe­cutive
Committee (now the Coun­cil
of Deans). In that year, the
office of Director of Student
Affairs was established and plans
for the establishment of the Dis­ciplinary
Board were drawn up
by a student and faculty commit­tee
appointed by Dr. L. N. Dun­can.
The committee formulated the
code which is the basis for all
decisions of the Board.
Acts as Court
The Board functions on civil
court principles. A student is
considered innocent until adjud­ged
guilty; the Board is a court
of record, keeping permanent
files of each case, and the student
is presented a written state-
President Ralph B. Draughon,
nt is not opposed to student re-y
Board: One restriction which
however, is that the appoint­ment
of the charges and is given
an opportunity to prepare a de­fense.
After complete hearing of both
sides of a case, the Disciplinary
Board presents a formal report to
the president of the college. He
then acts upon the recommenda­tion
of the Board, cither approv­ing
or disapproving it. President
Draughon has never failed to ap­prove
a recommendation nor re­submitted
one.
The decision of the Board does
not have to be unanimous. Any of
the three members may submit
a dissenting opinion to be pre­sented
to the president along with
the majority recommendation of
the Board.
Degrees of Discipline
The degrees of discipline which
the Board may impose are re­primand,
probation, suspension,
and expulsion. The punishment
recommended is determined by
the disciplinary code (printed in
the Tiger Cub) drawn up by the
formative student-faculty com­mittee
and by precedent set by
past, cases.
Only extreme infractions- of
rules are subject to action by the
Board, with about one out of fifty
ever reaching the judicial body.
The Director of Student Affairs
hears every case first and handles
all minor offenses. If he considers
a case serious enough for Board
consideration, he prepares charges
presenting a copy of them to the
student and one to the chairman
of the Board.
Complete background of the
case must be presented and a
complete record of the entire pro­ceedings
of the Board kept on
file in the president's office. This
file is not secret, although the
findings are not openly publi­cized
in order to avoid undue em­barrassment
of the students con­cerned.
Since the Board was organiz­ed
in 1944, only 58 cases have been
acted upon. This is considered to
be an unusually small number by
Dr. Draughon, who attributes it
to the calibre of the Auburn stu­dent
body.
According to Dr. Draughon, the
Disciplinary Board was founded
for two main purposes: to insure
the safety of the student body
and to protect the good name of
the college.
Joe Pilcher, junior in pre-law
from Selma, is the sole candidate
for president of the Cabinet. He
will succeed Joe Meade of Flor­ence.

Cabinet vice-president, Gene

Book Exchange, Snack Bar To Be Part
Of Proposed Student Union Building
By Jimmy Everett *
One of the outstanding services for students included in
the first unit of the proposed Union Building, according to
the Union Building Committee report, will be the student
book exchange where' books may be bought and sold at a
reasonable rate. The report suggests a minimum profit set-up
for the operation of the exchange,
In a breakdown of the report,
the committee proposes a space in
the basement of the first unit
of the building for the exchange.
The 60-by-60 feet book store
would include all of the text books
used at Auburn in addition to r e ­ference
material, novelties, and
any of the supplies needed in lab
work. A complete stock of sun­dries
will be carried for the con­venience
of the students.
The book store will be operated
by the college and students will be
employed as much as possible to
work in the unit. All of the ex­penses
incurred in the operation
of the bookstore will come from
the revenue.
Another facility for students 'to
be included in the proposed first
unit will be the snack bar—pro­viding
short orders and fountain
service. The snack bar will also
.employ student labor and will
work as a self-service unit.
Located adjacent to the book
store in the basement of the Un­ion
Building, the snack bar will
have booths and tables for the
patrons, and will be approximate­ly
the same size as the book store.
These two sources of revenue
will contribute to the payment
for the first unit and later for the
second unit of. the Union' Build­ing,
it was suggested in the report.
"Comments from" the students con­cerning
the Union Building should
be written to Trie Plainsman,"
cited a spokesman for the commit­tee,
"The students should realize
that it is going to take much in­terest
and work to make these
plans materialize," the official
stated.

Army, Air ROTC
Applications Are
Now Being Taken
Applications for enrollment in
the advanced course Army and
Air Force R.O.T.C. units are now
being accepted, it was announced
this week by spokesmen for the
Auburn Army and Air Force
R.O.T.C. units. Recent policy has
been to accept applications only
for fall quarter enrollment in or­der
to put students on a "regular"
basis to ease the processing in
accordance with directives from
higher headquarters.
Early submission of applica­tions
will facilitate processing of
students for entrance into the
course at the beginning of the
fall quarter, and will assist stu­dents
i a planning their curricula
and in registration for fall class­es,
local officers stated.
All students who have complet­ed
the basic R.O.T.C. course or
who have earned equivalent cre­dit
at other schools or in the
service, who will not have passed
their twenty-first birthday at the
time of enrollment next fall, and
who meet certain other minimum
requirements are eligible.
When enrolled, students are
furnished a uniform and receive
subsistence checks amounting to
about $27 per month. Students
enrolled for the fall quarter will
attend summer camp in the sum­mer
of 1951 for a period of six
weeks, during which time they
will undergo practical training in
the branch of their choice.
During the summer camp per­iod,
they will receive $75 per
month. Subsistence payments
accrue over the summer, except
for the time actually spent in
camp, and are paid after enroll­ment
in the R.O.T.C. in the fol­lowing
fall quarter.
Students may make application
for the Air Force or one of the
four branches offered by the Ar­my
R.O.T.C. — armored cavalry,
field artillery, corps of engineers,
and signal corps. Those desiring
to make application for fall en­rollment
and those desiring fur­ther
information should contact
the adjutant of the Army or Air
Force units, or the senior instruc­tor
of the branch in which they
choose to enroll. Applications
will be accepted at any time dur­ing
the' day at the Army or Air
Force offices in the basement of
Samford Hall.

Tp Vote Is Ovir Democratic Obligation «-~«3*GA- OF • A CAKE—?
Tomorrow is the most: important politi­cal
date of the year on the Auburn cam­pus.
Students will go to the polls to elect
new publication officials and to fill' all
elective student government positions. For
the first time in several years the student's
will select in one balloting the most im­portant
political officials on the campus.
Interest in the election tomorrow will
be centered around the fight for the four
publication positions, senior representative
to the Cabinet, fifth year representative to
the Cabinet, senior historian, and sopho­more,
secretary-treasurer. All other 19 can­didates
are unopposed. Thus the interest
in tomorrow's election is rather restricted.
We were very surprised at the •small
number of candidates seeking election this
year. With a student body composed large­ly,
pf non-veterans, The - Plainsman had
hoped that interest in Campus politics and
government woidd increase this year. AU
though we feel pertain that those who are
seeking election will work hard to give Au­burn
a strong student government pro­gram,
it is discouraging to note such a lack
of interest in campus politics. As we have
stated before, each student has the right to
run for office or .to vote in campus elec­tions.
When students fail to exercise this
right, they weaken the privilege of campus
elections.
However, there .are many important
We Need Candles Today
In our present age of confusion with its
increasing signs of fear and doubt, it is
time that the people of this country started
to seek truth on controversial issues. With
leading Congressmen hurling serious char­ges
at responsible men and women in gov­ernment
affairs as weU as the growing
talk of a "hot" war, it is time fpr the Amer­ican
people to look at the issues through
their own eyes.
Recently Fleet Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz told an audience at the University
of California that "worrying over the end
of the world deprives us of the' creative
drives we need to help save the world." He
was deploring "the growing hysteria" of
Americans over the hydrogen bomb and
other forebroodings which David 'Lillen-thal
a little earlier had labeled £is""a""cult
qf gloom."
The Christian Science Monitor carried
positions which must be filled by the stu­dent
electorate tomorrow. Students should
devote a great deal of time and thotfghTfcr
those men whom will place in charge
of campus publications next year. The ex­perience,
ability and platform of each can­didate
should be held uppermost in the
mind of the voter.
Likewise, for those places in the Cabi­net
and class elections, the platform, ex­perience
and qualifications of each candi­date
should be the basis for selection. The
Cabinet this year has made long strides in
such important work as reorganizing clas­ses,
acquiring a Student Union Building,,
and other progressive programs. This
work must be continued by men of under­standing,
ability, and experience.
It is the duty of every Auburn student
tp vote in the election tomorrow. The pow­er
of student government depends entirely
upon the interest of the students. As we
have stated before "a lazy, indifferent
electorate will cause a lack of interest by
officials and students in all phases of cam­pus
life."
Exercise your democratic privilege by
voting in the election tomorrow. Impor­tant,
decisions must be made. These deci­sions
must be given by the students. A re­cord
vote in the election tomorrow will be
one step towards a more democratic
school, state and nation.
an interesting story "from provincial
times in Connecticut," which casts some of
the attitude to be sought in this as in other
eras.
The story carried by the Monitor says:
"On May 19, 1780, there was a storm
which so darkened the sky at Hartford
that some members of the legislature fear­ed
the world was about to be destroyed
and moved that the council adjourn.
"Said Col. Abraham Davenport, 'I'm
against adjournment. Either the Day of
Judgment is at hand or it is not. If it is
not, there is no cause for adjournment. If
it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I
wish, therefore, that candles may be
brought!'"
During our present period of "growing
hysteria" it might be well if we brought
out the candles—candles of truth, faith,
and understanding.
The Disciplinary Board Question
The possibility of student representa­tion
on the Disciplinary Board seems high­ly
probable at present. In two rather
lengthy discussions of the matter with
President Ralph Draughon, we were given
an opportunity to find out the possibilities
of obtaining student membership to the
board.
President Draughon is not opposed to
student membership on the board if some
sound system for selecting the student
members can be found. Dr. Draughon is
not in favor of campus politics entering
into selection of student members. Politics
should not enter into the selection of stu­dent
members as the position may not be
filled properly by me-~ political election
or appointment.
If student's are granted membership on
the board it will be a great help in remov­ing
the cloud of doubt which has some­times
surrounded the actions of the board.
Although the board meets merely as a
court, with all proceedings held under de­finite
standards, the lack of student repre­sentation
has caused the board to receive
unfair criticism on many occasions.
The issue of student representation is
not an issue of pitting the college officials
against the student body. Instead, it is
merely a matter of giving the students an
active voice in the matter. The feature on
the Disciplinary Board which is carried
elsewhere in today's Plainsman is written
with the hope of explaining the history,
the power, and the purpose of the board.
We hope that this feature will clear up any
misunderstanding which students may
have had in regard to the board.
Since school officials are not opposed to
student representation, we feel that stu­dent
leaders and college officials can work
out a method for selection of student mem­bers
in the near future. Student represen­tation
on the board will be a step forward
in helping ease controversy surrounding
disciplinary cases.

Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Most students who are majoring in English or closely re­lated
courses of study are naturally interested in words—that
is, words for their own sake, as well as their use.
Without words, our method of communication would be
completely inutile, and civilization would be in a Stygian posi-tion
However, most anyone can
get along fairly well in life, and
can certainly understand and be
understood, with words learned
in the early years of life.
It is words of a different na­ture,
those seldom heard or with
a n u n u s u al
meaning, t h a t
have a special
appeal for me.
The dictionary
is usually con­sidered
some­what
of an au­t
h o r i t y on
words and their
meanings, but I
h a v e another
favorite source
McTeer —the crossword
puzzle.
Some sticklers for convention
may consult Old Man Webster
when they are in d o u b t of a
word's meaning or wish to find
the exact term to use, but I mere­ly
refer to my file of crossword
puzzles. It is a blessing, and
would be a handy reference to all
writers and speakers.
Besides containing such useful
items as the notes of the scale
(do, re, mi, etc.), it offers the
names of the Hebrew months, the
Greek alphabet, Babylonian and
Roman gods and goddesses, and
mythical characters.
To complete a crossword puzzle,
one must be familiar with ancient
coins of ancient countries, and
tribes of Indians the world oyer.
He must be geographically in­clined,
knowing insignificant riv­ers
and cities in every continent.
It is vitally important to be ac­quainted
with the names of apes
and monkeys of every jungle, and
all birds, no matter how extinct.
But once this information is ac­cumulated,
the crossword expert
is never in the dark at profes­sional
meetings of lexicograph­ers,
historians, financiers, or evo­lutionists.
Tell me, how many people know
that a Persian coin is "rial," that
a South American monkey is a
"saki," and that a flightless, ra-tite
bird of New Zealand is a
"moa"? Not one out of a thousand
university graduates, I'll wager.
Other interesting terms glean­ed
from the crossword file are
ashler, which is hewn stone; mag,
a long-tailed titmouse; silesia, li­nen
cloth; ambo, large pulpit; poi,
Hawaiian food; arnica, herb of
thistle family; jabots, lace ruf­fles
on shirt, epees, fencing
swords. The ardent crossworder
knows these.
Composers pf crossword puz­zles,
so unpublicized and unap­preciated,
have certainly added
more than their share to the pro­gress
of civilization. 6y stirring
up interest among puzzlers, they
unceasingly bring obsolete and
little-known words into the con-s
c i e n t i o u s puzzler-worker's
everyday vocabulary, a d d i ng
much color to speech.
Let me use my wee, wee voice
to urge the puzzle-makers to con­tinue
their revival of words. In
their own language, "Lith zwayr
klipt dominad."
More and More by Gene Moore
Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama.
Subscription rates by mail: $1.00 for 3 months, $3.00 for 12 months.
People who make a habit of
coming to class late are, like
platypuses, the Eiffel Tower, and
Hadacol, in a department all their
own. Such people have innate
(was it Shelley who said, "Stu­dents
who are tardy without fail
are born, not made"?) dramatic
ability; no other single group of
students equals them in a natural
born flair for perfection in their
hobby.
You are, I hope, wondering just
what all this is leading up to, if
it is leading up to anything. It is.
I have classified People Who
Come to Class Late:
The chow .hound, or I-eat-the-seven-
basic-foods-daily-between-classes,
type—This type may be
found at Athey's from a few sec­onds
after the Samford Hall clock
strikes until 10 minutes after each
hour. When it realizes that it is
late, "it gathers all its uneaten
food and totters off to class.
If at about a quarter after the
hour you hear the crackling of
cellophane and the crunch of mo­lar
against peanut, glance up;
you'll prabably see it entering
the door with enough food to
support the people of Sheboygan,
Wisconsin, for a month.
The innocent, or my-family-has-
always-bcen-noted-for- pun­ctuality,
type—this type comes in
looking suave and collected until
it realizes that the class has al­ready
begun. Then, as a look of
half-disbelief, half-horror crosses
its face, it throws up (there must
be another ternj to use here) its
hands and theatrically announces
to the instructor, the class and
the universe that, "Why, mah
goo'ness! Ah reely had no idea
Ah was late . . . Ah jus' cain't
buhleeve it." There follows much
watch-winding. This type is us­ually
a blonde.
The worried, or I-got-an-FA-one-
time-and-I-can't-afford - 1 o-take-
any-chances, type—A mem­ber
of this type will come gallop­ing
into the room a little after the
lecture begins. It has stamped on
its countenance the look of a man
condemned to die on the rack. It
steals a soulful look at the in­structor,
and cold perspiration
gushes out onto its brow. If it can
possibly manage to bleed at the
mouth, it does so. Then, as it be­gins
lookiftg back into its reper­toire
of standardized excuses,
plan and fancy, it asks everybody
around if the instructor has "cal­led
the roll yet." Whether the
reply is affirmative or negative,
the person of this type will can­ter
up after class, to make certain
that his presence has not been
overlooked.
The nonchalant, or so-I'm-late-what-
of-it-I'm-an-old-hand - a t-this-
sort - of - thing - convention-be-
damned, type. This one, my
favorite, is an antonym of the
worried type. It ambles in about
20 minutes late, whistling some­thing
rousing, usually the "Anvil
Chorus" or "Southearted Men."
Still whistling, it stops directly
behind the instructor and'glances
over his notes for a few seconds.
Then it smirks disdainfully, re­moves
its overcoat, vigorously
yawns and stretches, and shuffles
to the rear of the room, where,
with obvious contempt for the
rest of the class, it laboriously and
gruntily settles down. If it could
put its philosophy into words,
they would probably be arranged
something like this: "So what if
time and tide wait for no man,
hey? Who wants a tide? And I've
already read this week's Time."
I had planned to extend this
categorization even further, but
I see I won't have time; I'm late
for class.
Plain Talk By the Editor Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
During the summer B. M. Mc-
Kelway, editor of the Washington'
Star and president of the Ameri­can
Society of Newspaper Editors,
spoke to several professional jour­nalism
groups at the University of
Minnesota on the Hutehins Com­mission
report on freedom of the
press in the U.S. He compared
this report with a similar one made
by the British Royal Commission
on the Press.
Editor McKelway states that the
prediction made by the Hutehins
Commission, which gaye its "re­port
two and one-half years ago,
is that if the press on this side of
the Atlantic does not itself initi­ate
certain reforms, governmental
regulations may follow. Similarly
the British group warned that the
majority of the papers must "vol­untarily
proceed to accept sugges­tions
as to how it could improve
itself, the government will force
acceptance."
These two reports do not apply
primarily to the editorial side of
the newspapers, but instead to
the handling of news. Such scan­dals
as the Bergman case, mur­ders,
sex crimes, and other "yel­low"
journalistic prizes are the
targets of these reports. The re­ports
recommend that the press
broaden its scope of self-criticism
and self-regulation.
How do these reports relate to
or affect the college newspaper
and the issue of a free college
press? Great variation e x i s ts
among colleges in the nature and
amount of control—also in the
lack of it—granted the student
staff in its conduct.
One of the most outstanding
statement^ on the matter of free­dom
of the college press was given
by a journalism professor in a sur­vey
take^n by Editor and Publisher
test year. The instructor frankly
said: "Administration or faculty
participation in any aspect of the
college publication is detrimental
to the quality of the paper, the
integrity of its editors, an insult
to any recognizable educational
ideals, and a vicious disservice to
the individuals and the institution
which the paper is supposed to
serve."
• Other journalism instructors
violently disagree with this the­ory.
One professor stated: "The
First Amendment has no applica­tion
in spirit or fact to a learning
situation for inexperienced kids
who have neither the background
nor maturity to make adequate
judgments in the use of a tool
of great potential dahger to the in­stitution,
its faculty and students."
Thus we haye the liberal and
conservative extremes on the mat­ter.
However, I hesitate to call the
opinion of the liberal prof an
extreme. Personally I feel that it
is a definition which comes closer
to expressing my concept of free­dom
of the collegiate press.
Another intelligent comment was
made by Dwight Bentel in a dis­cussion
of the Editor and Publisher
survey who stated that: "As a
training'" ground for effective par­ticipation
in a democratic society,
which is what college proposes to
to be, censorship is an educational
self-contradiction."
Censorship of any newspaper is
unnecessary if the students are
given and made to feel the proper
responsibilities. The policy of the
Board of Student Publications
for The Plainsman makes clear
these responsibilities. The policies
for an editor are, as they should
be, general in nature. They mere­ly
outline the responsibilities of
the editor; so long as he recog­nizes
these responsibilities, inter­ference
in any way, not referred
to in this policy, is considered
out of order.
The realization of responsibili­ties
is the main thing in the sub­ject
of a free college press. So long
as the editor realizes his respon­sibility
to put out a paper which
will reflect credit to the school
and the journalism profession, his
freedom should be unlimited.
Likewise so long as college offi­cials
realize that a college is sup­posed
to give students ideas for
participating in a democratic so­ciety,
censorship will be unneces­sary.
Genera I ly Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
I'd like to get serious for once
this week and touck on a sub­ject
many of us would like to
forget but which none of us can
forget — cancer. Everyone has
had some contact—perhaps the
loss of parent, relative or friend—
with this dread disease, the num­ber
two killer of Americans, and
we don't have to be reminded of
its potency nor of the lack of a
sure cure for it.
Also, the need for cancer re­search
n e ed
not be debated.
It's o b v i o u s
that t h e r e
is much to be
learned about
this killer of
o n e out of
every six peo­ple.
Cancer cures,
like Rome, will
never be built
in a day, ra­ther
it will take years of further
study and experiment before we
can put a checkrein on this
killer that gallops unbridled
through the population of our
nation.
Already many strides have
been taken 'in early diagnosis of
the disease, when preventive
Greenhill
treatment is most likely to be
successful. However, many .more
strides must be taken-through re­search
by grants-in-aid before we
can lick cancer.
That brings us down to the
reason for this week's column—
the local American Cancer Society
Drive. This drive, sponsored by
the Jaycees, will last the whole
month of April.
The purpose of the drive is to
raise money for the ACS fund,
from which these research grants
are financed. The minimum goal
for the town of Auburn is $1000.
This is mighty little in view of the
fact that an annual $20,000 re­search
grant it made at A.P.I.
Students will not be approached
individually, although the various
organizations will be asked to
contribute $5 each. A portion of
the "take" from the year's all-out
campus drive will be given to the
ACS fund, but according to Milton
Blount, Drives Chairman for the
Cabinet, the ACS portion will not
be overly large.
However, students can help in
the fight against cancer by drop­ping
change in the coin boxes
placed around town. Our nickels,
dimes and quarters could mount
up and mean something—money
could be spent a lot less wisely.

Some students have failed to
use the Center because they

Although the office was originally
set up for the guidance of former
service men, today its services are
available to all students.
At the Advisory Center, the stu­dent
is counseled to ascertain the
nature of his trouble. A series of
psychological examinations are
then given to determine his abili­ties
and major interests. These
tests have been developed by lead­ing
psychologists and educators
over the nation. While they are
not fool proof, tfiey are relatively
accurate, and coupled with per­sonal
counseling, they are invalu­able
in solying vocational ills.
I know a number of students
who.through the advice of the Ad­visory
Center, have changed their
courses. These people have usually
done well after changing, largely
because they got into something
in which they were interested.
The Advisory Center is avail­able
not only to students on pro­bation,
but also to other students.
According to W. O. Barrow, di­rector,
about one-third of m those
who use the center do so volun­tarily.
A much larger percentage could
probably use these services to ad­vantage.
Through voluntary coun­seling,
future troubles are often
avoided.
Guest Column
People are crazy! It takes all
kinds to make a world! How true,
how true, and one of the best
ways we know of finding out just
what kinds of people it really
takes is to read letters addressed
to the editor. We say this without
any fear of contradiction.
There are all kinds of letters,
each one representing some un­known
personality hovering in
the background. These shadowy
beings emerge on paper as ogres,
angels, beasts and what-nots.
Some twist the language beyond
any recognizable form. Some
clutch at our heartstrings. Some
are just plain nasty. Other letters
are couched in careful terms of
praise, but, alas, these are too
few.
The letter writers seem to tend
to flowery language. Indeed, we
received several poems comment­ing
on mercy killing. Most of
them we qpuld understand and
chuckle over appreciatively, but
one was past any comprehension.
With a premonition of proximity
to greatness, we hurriedly dis­patched
the "thing" to the English
department. No word has been r e ­ceived.
But of all the letters we have
received, the one we cherished
most is one that after discussing
at length and with some erudition
a ticklish subject, ended with an
abrupt "Go to hell!"
We're going.

PRESIDENT
6TUDENT CABINET
Joe Pi.lcher
Great advances were made by
this year's Executive Cabinet in
an attempt to reorganize the four
classes into functioning units. The
success or failure of this program
however, will not be determined
by the degree of class unity shown
next year. Therefore I shall do my
utmost to promote further class
organization in an attempt to con­solidate
and increase the gains
made thus far.
There is a great need on the
Auburn campus for a Union Build­ing.
If we of the student body are
willing to take upon ourselves the
responsibility for obtaining such a
building, there is a strong possi­bility
of i-eceiving substantial as­sistance
from outside sources. As
president of next year's Student
Executive Cabinet, I shall carry
forward the program begun this
year aimed at secui-ing a Union
Building on the Auburn campus
in the immediate future.
Feeling that Auburn students
are mature enough to discipline
themselves, I shall strive for equal
student representation on the Col­lege
Disciplinary Committee. I
shall also attempt to have installed
some system of teacher evaluation,
handled jointly by the administra­tion
and the Student Executive
Cabinet, in order to recognize the
merits of the better instructors
and aid the others in eliminating
their deficiencies.
I pledge myself to promote in
every instance, the interests and
welfare of the entire Student
Body. I will appreciate your sup­port
during the coming year.
CABINET VICE-PRESIDENT
Gene Allred
Fellow students, my platform in
this year's election is similar to
the one which I used when I was
elected president of the sopho­more
class. I stand for closer class
unity and I shall work with the
newly elected class officers so that
they may carry forth the class
organization pi-ogram. I will carry
out my duties to the best of my
ability with the interest of the
student body in mind.
SOCIAL CHAIRMAN
Ed Timmcns
The social chairman in the
coming year must have several
important goals in mind. The fore­most
of these will be to present
a homecoming dance that Auburn
students and alumni will enjoy to
the utmost.
For the last few years the So­cial
Committee has been insolvent,
but due to the efforts of Kirk
Jordan, the incumbent chairman,
the committee has become an ef­ficiently
functioning unit. I intend
to further the good job which
Kirk has started.
If the trends aTe pushed to a
consumaticn, the committee stands
to regain its former status as a
unit which can do much to foster
our incomparable Auburn Spirit.
I will cooperate fully with Dean
Cater and the administration and
will keep the interests of the stu­dents
first in my mind always.
FIFTH-VEAR
REPRESENTATIVE
Steve Blair
First of all, with respect to stu­dent
government, I believe in
equal representation of all stu­dents.
My aim is to bring your
student government home to you,
and to forward projects which
will benefit our school.
If elected fifth year represen­tative,
I will be the chairman of
the Pep Committee and will work
with the cheerleaders to strive to
bring to the student body a better
pep season than ever before.
If elected I will always be open
for suggestipns and never too
busy to listen to them, and will
at all times strive to represent the
fifth year group in a worthy
manner.
John R. Langford
If elected I will serve this'Of­fice
to the best of my ability in
the interest of the fifth year stu­dents.
SENIOR PRESIDENT
Ellry Barton
If elected, I pledge myself to
execute and fulfill the duties and
obligations of president pf the
senior I class. I will strive to main­tain
the high degree of organiza­tion
that the class of '51 has at­tained
in the past and strive to
complete the projects that the
class will not have time to finish
this year.
I will work at all times with the
various groups and cpmmittees
concerned with raising funds for
a student union building. I will
work with the Student Executive
Cabinet in all projects they spon­sor
for the benefit of the students
of A.PI- and for the promotion
of the AUBURN SPIRIT.
SENIOR
SECRETARY-TREASURER
Alice Hand
If I am elected secretary of the
class of 1951, I shall endeavor to
obtain more class unity, lo, have
Don't Forget Campus Elections Tomorrow
a better organized senior class by
having more class meetings, and a
definite project. I should like to
see this class leave something
concrete to A.P.I, as well as the
memory of a hard working, pro­gressive
class.
SENIOR HISTORIAN
Marcia Bovvers
As historian of the Senior Class,
I, Marcia Bowers, would endeavor
to support any project proposed
and upheld by the class. I feel
that a generally stronger unified
class could create an everlasting
monument to our school and make
the graduating clkss of 1951 one of
Auburn's finest.
Dolly Marsh
As you know, the senior his­torian
is in charge of leaving to
other classes a permanent record
of our, achievements and is also
responsible for handing over
long range projects and signifi­cant
information to the succeeding
class officers in good order.
I have thought about this office
and feel qualified to carry out its
duties. I believe, however, that in
the past this office has been ne­glected,
and with your support I
would like to make sure that a
permanent record of our class
activities is maintained. Your
vote would be appreciated.
SENIOR REPRESENTATIVE
Ed Crawford
Auburn badly needs an aptive
student government program.
The fact that only 28 students
are entered in tomorrow's elec­tion
to fill 23 campus governmen­tal
positions is proof of the above
statement. Because I feel the need
for an active program and because
I believe that a strong framework
for such a program has been built
i during the past year, I am seeking
I election as senior representative
to the Student Executive Cabinet.
If I am elected I will endeavor
to be an active representative for
the senior class and the Auburn
students. I feel that my work as
editor of The Plainsman gives me
valuable experience in dealing
with college officials and students.
Because of this experience I feel
that I can work effectively for the
good of student government and
the development of Auburn.
There are many programs which
I have' advocated and will con­tinue
to seek if I am elected repre­sentative.
I feel that each of these
programs is vitally needed to
help in the growth of Auburn as
a progressive, strong institution.
The main parts of my platform
are:
1. Creation of a book exchange
operated on the campus.
2. Adoption of a teacher evalua­tion
program.
3. Continued work in the orga­nization
of classes.
4. A united move by students,
alumni, and college officials for
a Student Union Building.
5. Student representation on the
Auburn Disciplinary Board.
6. Adoption of the name "Au­burn
University."
7. Any program which will
further the development of Au­burn
as a progressive, democra­tic
institution. • • ••
For the good of student govern­ment
I urge all students to vote in
the election tomorrow. Your vote
and support will be greatly ap­preciated,
and if I am elected
senior representative I will do all
in my power to continue the work
of developing an active student
government program. •
Ben Enfinger
If elected senior representative
Twill do everything in my power
to further the interests of the
senior class and the student body.
Specifically, I think the crying
] need on this campus is an equi­table
system of buying and sell­ing
books. The most logical plan
seems to be the establishment of
a student operated and college
supervised exchange.
A student union building is
taken for granted on most cam­puses,
but here it is only a dream
of the future. I would like to see
it materialize not ten years from
now, but next year. If the student
body, through their representa­tives,
want it enough, they can get
it.
I would be willing to spend all
the time necessary to do the job
well and to be a representative of
all the students.

dates to fill the positions as the
three senior representatives to the
Executive Cabinet. In this capa­city,
as your representative to the
cabinet, I will endeaver to insti­gate
the introduction and instal­lation
of these proposals:
1. A b a l a n c e d Disciplinary
Board. In other words, the same
number of undergraduate members
on the board as there are faculty
members. At the present, the
board consists of only three fa­culty
members and they review
and pass judgment on all cases of
a serious nature.
2. A Fair Cut System. At the
present Auburn has no standar­dized
system for allotting beats
or-cuts a student may take in the
course of a quarter. This has led
to a conglomeration of systems
which depend to a large extent
upon the feeling of the individual
instructor concerning the number
of absences and the penalty for
too many absences from his class.
3. A Student Instructor Evalua­tion
Systenu At the present, the
instructor has np way of evaluat­ing
to what extent the student has
absorbed his teaphings, other than
by the time-worn method of
quizes. When a large percentage
of his students flunk a quiz, he
has a pretty good idea that he was
using the wrong approach; but
as to what was his error, he has
no way of telling. So, he eitlier
scales the grades or forgets about
it.
This method has been substi­tuted,
on a large number of our
southern campuses, by a new sys­tem
called an instructor evalua­tion
program which has proved of
invaluable aid to the students as
well as the instructor.- It operates
in such a manner that it can tip
the prof as to when and where he
made his error.
Of course, if the prof is a bit
hard-headed and has no desire to
correct this mistake . . »then the
administration, through the infor­mation
furnished by this system,
would have to step in and ad^
minister a permanent cure. But,
fortunately, the administration has
had to do this in very few cases
where this program is in being
because the instructor is almost
always constantly hunting ways
to improve his teaching methods,.
4. The realization of the Student
Union Building.
5. A follow-up program on the
class carnivals and plays.
6. A varsity magazine. A type of
humor magazine common to every
large and progressive campus.
One that could fill the gap be­tween
The Auburn Review and
The Plainsman. A magazine that
w o u l d contain humor, spprts'
news, men and women's campus
fashions, and short stories written
by the students from all the
schools. One that you would be
proud to have on the campus-
I also pledge myself to support
the Constitution, By-Laws, and
Rules of Permanent Committees
of the Associated Undergraduate
Students of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute to the best of my
knowledge and ability. The senior
representatives of the Executive
Cabinet are the work-horses of
the organization and should be
persons who are willing and ca­pable.
In the capacity of editor-in-chief
of The Auburn Engineer,
secretary of the Auburn Engineers
Council, chairman of the Dance
Committee in the N.R.O.T.C. unit,
and a member of the American
Society of Meohanical Engineers,
I think that I have proved that
I am capable of performing the
duties that would be mine as
senior representative to the Ex­ecutive
Cabinet.
Dick Webb
Tomorrow is an important date
for., all Auburn students. New pub­lication
and student government
officials will be selected to direct
student affairs next year. Because
I sincerely feel the need of an
active Student Executive Cabinet
I am seeking the office of senior
representative.
If I am elected tomorrow I will
be a representative of not only
the senior class, but also the entire
Auburn student body. I will strive
to push forward programs which
can Help in the development of
stronger student government and
a better Auburn.
There are several projects which
were initiated this year by the
Student Executive Cabinet which
should be followed through next
year. Such programs as class or­ganization,
acquisition of a Stu­dent
Union Building, and other
progressive projects are achieve­ments
for this year's Cabinet. I
would like to see' these programs
promoted further next year.
Membership in the Disciplinary
Board, a campus-operated book
exchange and other badly needed
programs should be sought. If I
am elected I will do all in my
power to advance these programs.
Because of my duties with the
baseball team I will be unable to
see each of you personally. How­ever,
I will deeply appreciate any
support you may offer in the elec­tion
tomorrow.
JUNIOR PRESIDENT
Bill Moore
Although I am running unop­posed
for the position of junior
class president, I am presenting
this platform in order to let the
members of the class of 1952 know
the goals that their officers will
be working toward next year.
Increased class organization is
the first and most important pro­ject.
In addition to this I am going
to work for closer cooperation be­tween
the classes and the admini­stration.
I am also going to attempt
to promote greater interest in the
class-sponsored activities. C l a ss
organization has become a reality
now and it is the duty of all the
classes to develop this program
so that we will obtain the full
benefits from it.

Final Statistics Rank Auburn Among
The Nation's Top Basketball Squads
By Jimmy Coleman
Statistics show that Joel Eaves didn't do too badly his first
year as Auburn basketball coach.
Final figures just released by the National Collegiate Ath­letic
Bureau reveal that the Tigers were sound in practically
every department. Results of the national report come as a
reward to Eaves, who is a great
believer in the use of statistics to
correct individual and team weak­nesses.
The Auburn team won 17
games, lost seven, and ended the
season with the best cage record
the college has had in 10 years.
The Tigers entered the Southeast­ern
Conference Tournament in
Louisville last month seeded third
but l o s t to Louisiana State in
their first game.
Even so, Eaves converted a
team which had won nine and
lost 14 in 1948 to a spirited, fast-breaking
squad.
The Tigers were well drilled at
shooting from the free throw line,
finishing third in the nation be­low
Temple and Colorado after a
see-saw battle all season w i th
these two teams for 'first place.
The Tigers attempted 574 free
shots, made 390 for a percentage
of 67.9. The closest Southeastern
Conference team to Auburn was
Kentucky in fifteenth place with
a 65.8 per cent mark.
At shooting from the floor the
statistics tipped off another rea­son
why the Eavesmen were pro­ficient
at winning. They ranked
26th in the country, ending the
season ahead of such teams-, as
Holy Cross, North Carolina State,
Ohio State, and San Francisco, in
this department.
Auburn gained position num­ber
46 in team offense with 61.8
points per game, an even 11
• points behind first-place Villano-va.
i
A most remarkable aspect of
the Auburn teams playing is that
only six players fouled-out dur­ing
the season—Guards Roy
Brawner, three times and Don
Lanford, twice, and Forward W.
I C. Mobberly once. Such clean of­fensive
play placed the Tigers as
twelfth ranking team in Ameri­ca
in fewest personal fouls com­mitted.
Two individuals also hit the
national rankings f r o m the
"Loveliest Village of the Plains."
They were Brawner who scored
49 free throws in 60 attempts to
rank seventh among the nation's
top charity shot artists. His per­centage
was a nifty 81.7.
Bill Lynn, the Tigers' six-foot,
five-inch center and the o n ly
regular team member who will
. be lost by graduation, ciosed out
his collegiate career as No. 61
among the country's high scorers.
With a 14.8 average per game, he
outscored such notables as Don
Lofgram of San Francisco; Jim
Riffey of Tulane; and Paul Un-ruh
of Bradley.
ED JARVIS NAMED
FOOTBALL MANAGER
Head Football Coach Earl
Brown announced Monday that
Edmund "Ed" Jarvis, Jr., junior
in agricultural engineering, has
been named senior football mana­ger
for 1950. Jarvis, a native of
Semmes, Ala., was an assistant
manager last season.
As senior manager, Jarvis will
have many duties: he is custodian
of equipment on all road trips and
on the practice field; he acts as a
go-between for coaches and play­ers;
records the actual playing
time of every player, and is the
general handy-man for all matters
pertaining to the squad. Jarvis'
duties have already been assumed
as he is on the job during the
daily drills now in progress on
Drake Field.

At the Field House sports publicity office—capably administered
by Jimmy Coleman—there rests a wealth of information, both cur­rent
and ancient, concerning sports of all types. A notable item is a
collection of football programs of bygone days. These programs are
classics, for they contain much more than team rosters and the pre­sentation
is most pleasing.
Football programs of late have tended to be more of a com­mercial
enterprise far beyond .the amount of advertising ne­cessary
to meet printing costs. Most prominent feature is the de­gree
of sameness in the programs of all schools, with covers that
bear little or no relation to the game it publicizes.
Last year's Auburn programs were a case in point. Purchased from
a cover company in New York, the, covers used could be seen, on the
same or different dates, at stadiums throughout, the country. There
was no individuality nor pertinent theme in any of them.
This fact bothered many people—and Jimmy Coleman especially.
Having majored in commercial art at Auburn, Jimmy decided to do
something about, the situation for the 1950 season.
The results of his efforts have begun o take shape and one
thing is certain: the four games for which Auburn has' the pro­gram
concession will feature cover designs and interior material
that should be a welcome addition to the occasions. Program ap­pearance
will be localized in that the colorful cover design will
have a meaning for the particular game being played.
Starting lineups and complete rosters will be an important part
of each program, but they will also contain a number of features
about Auburn and the day's opponent sufficient to make each program
a desirable souvenir.
The four games for which the Auburn Athletic Association is r e ­sponsible
for program printing are: Wofford, Southeastern Lotiisana,
Tulane, and Clemson.

POST GRAD EMPLOYMENT FOR AUBURN GRADS
How many times have you wondered just what became of all the
star athletes whose names were household words during their days of
glory? Any bull session based on sports is bound to air the question.
In answer to a number of inquiries as to the present disposition of
Auburn stars of the past few years, a little research brings to light
the following:
Ralph Pybunn, captain of the 1949 Tigers, has assumed the po­sition
of supervisor of recreation at Prichard, Ala Travis Tidwell,
undisputed master of the "T" quarterback spot, has signed to play
pro ball with the New York Giants.... Bill Waddail and John Adcock
have been "drafted" by the Baltimore Colts—nothing definite as
yet—with Adcock considering the coaching profession.... Arnold
Fagen, towering tackle, is an engineering major and is undecided as
to post-grad employment.... Max Autrey, studying veterinary medi­cine,
will graduate in '51—his eligibility ,having terminated last fall..;
Ray Moore is expected to take up his duties as assistant football
coach in a Memphis, Tenn., high school.... Erskine Russell, leading
Tiger pass receiver last-fall, will settle in Atlanta to assume coach­ing
duties at Henry Grady High.
The coaching profession claims several members of the '48 Tigers:
Billy Ball is assistant coach at Vero Beach, Fla., high school.... Bob
Cannon is head coach at Phil Campbell High.... Russ Inman serves
as head mentor for Fairfield, Ala., High Hal Herring, who missed
first team in ALL-SEC in 1948 by one vote, played two years of pro
ball with the Buffalo Bills before taking up coaching chores at
Ga., high school Leon "Bull" Cochran is fullback for the pro foot­ball
Washington Redskins Brownie Flournoy and Graham Hixon,
a non-playing education. major, are coaching at Gainesville, Fla.,
high Holly Mitchell is following his ornamental horticulture train­ing
in his position with King's Nursery in Opelika.
Ray Williams, letterman in 1947, is beginning his third year in
professional baseball. This year he's to play with the'Atlanta Crack­ers
Harold Lannom, captain of the '47 squad, is coaching at West
Palm Beach.... Phillip Poundstone is farming in Montgomery county.
Professional baseball claims three other Auburnites: Willard
Nixon, Tiger mound ace in '47 and '48, is currently with the Louis­ville,
Ky., Colonels of the class Triple-A American Association....
Bill Higdofi, who ran wild on the gridiron in '48 spring training, but
was ineligible for varsity action due to contract signing with the
Phillies, is playing with the Memphis Chicks of the Southern League
. . . John Lip-tak, an assistant on Johnny Williamson's freshman staff,
will play with Selma of the Southeastern League.

Georgia Bulldogs Score Double Win
Over Auburn In Week End Games
The Georgia Bulldogs gave Auburn their third and fourth
consecutive conference losses last week as they nipped the
locals, 8-5 and 5-3, in two 10-inning heartbreakers. The Tigers
have yet to post a home win.
The Bulldogs jumped on sophomore Gene Hoehle for 12
hits and 8. runs in Friday's open­er.
Four Tiger errors and eleven

Trackmen Place 5th
In Southern Relays;
Meet Georgia Next
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Dry cinders and fast company
teamed to make this year's run­ning
of the Southern Relays in
Birmingham the biggest and best
in Dixie's history. Twelve college
and University records fell by the
wayside as the nation's finest-trackmen
competed on a warm
spring afternoon in Legion. Field.
Auburn Fifth
Yale University, led by the
spectacular performance of shot-putter
Jim Fuchs, tallied 33 and
one-third points to take first place.
Illinois and Oklahoma A and M
tied for second; Alabama placed
fourth and Auburn, with 12 points,
ran fifth. The men from Eli set
three new meet marks to lead the
record toppling.
The Aggies from Oklahoma dis­played
the most talented relay
teams ever seen in Southern cir­cles,
Auburn salvaged a fourth-place
spot in all their relay ef­forts,
' Flournoy. Steele, Mitchell,
and Overton ran the distance
medley relay—winning time, by
Michigan, was 10:14.2 for a new
record.
Jimmy Walker, C h a u n c ey
Wood, Bill Davis, and Jim Stookey
teamed in the 440- and 880-yard
relays to give the Tigers a fourth
spot in each.*
Walker and Wood Place
Auburn's sprint combination of
Jimmy Walker and C h a u n c ey
Wood placed second and fourth
respectively in the 100-yard dash.
Tulane's Paul Bienz, the SEC's
ace speedster, copped first-place
honors for the second straight year
with a time of 9.8 seconds. Jack
DeMedicis, long^limbed timber
topper for the Plainsmen, ran a
great race to take second in the
120-yard high hurdles. Bob Tal-madge
heaved the javelin 173 feet
2 inches to gain, a third place. '
A note for the future was
sounded in Alabama's fourth-place
performance. The Capstoners
amassed 12 points, all in field
events, while Auburn burned the
cinders for the greater share of
their points.
Georgia Here Saturday
Cliff Hare Stadium's second
meet of the season gets underway
cause. Charlie Kell, the Georgia
portsider, limited Auburn to four
hits in the six innings that he
worked. Bob Callahan hurled hit-less
ball for the last four.
Bill Tucker paced Auburn's
light stick attack with a double
in five trips to the plate. The
Tigers were issued 11 bases on
balls which proved to be instru­mental
in their scoring.
Saturday Georgia's Carl Adams
and Auburn's Bill Letchworth
tied up in a tight pitching duel
before the latter went out in fav­or
of a pinch hitter in the ninth.
Letchworth allowed only two hits
but coupled with three errors by
his mates they were enough to
net the Georgians three runs.
Ernie Snow followed Letchworth
and received credit for the loss
when he gave up two hits and a
walk for two runs in the tenth.
Auburn slammed Adams for
eight hits but 10 stranded base-runners
showed an absence of
clutch hitting. Third baseman
Ray Dean got two of the Tiger
hits including a long triple to
deep centerfield.
First baseman Art Mitchell's
ninth inning double was Georgia's
game winning blow. The Bulldogs
tied the score after two men were
out in the ninth and won it in the
terrth on a walk, two hits and an
Auburn miscue. Of the three
games played on the new Auburn
Field, all have been lost in the
tenth inning.

worked on The Plainsman staff
for three years with this goal in
mind. I want to have the oppor­tunity
to work for a better Au­burn.
As to my qualifications for
holding the office of editor, I can
offer as experience three years
service on The Plainsman staff,
a number of journalism courses
(I am a journalism major), one
year as editor and one year as
business manager of my high
school paper, one year as advertis-similar.
I a m ing manager of my high school
now serving as ' annual, correspondent work for
circulation man­ager
of the 1950
Glomerata.
I fully realize tne responsibi­lities
of a business manager. He
is responsible to the students, the
college, and the G l o m e r a ta
staff to put out a yearbook that
appeals to the students and that
will depict college life in its true
form.
If you see fit to elect me busi­ness
manager, I will do everything
in my power to correct any mis­understandings
concerning por­trait
sittings and organizational
make-ups. Wherever at all possi­ble
and the budget permitting, I
shall try to keep the prices to an
absolute minimum.
I will greatly appreciate your
vote and it is up to you as an in­dividual
to cast your ballot for
an editor and business manager
who you believe will portray
the 1951 Glomerata as a true and
greater Auburn.
Bob Windham
We are now approaching one of
the most important periods on the
A.P.I, calendar, that of selecting
those who will be in charge of the
campus publications for the next
year. In the past the number of
students participating in the cam­pus
elections has
Sgs; been surprising­l
y low. We
should all rea-ize
our respon­sibility
and ex-arcise
this privi-ege
at the polls.
I Express your in-
I erest in Auburn
I by voting in to­morrow's
elec-ions.
If elected bu­siness
manager of the 1951 Glom­erata,
I shall do my best to create
more responsible positions for
student participation on the busi­ness
staff and to launch a pro-several
state newspapers, and ap- I
prentice work in a printing shop. I
I believe that these qualifications j
give me the necessary foundation
for- holding a position I sincerely ]
want to hold. '
Since it is my belief that Au- [
burn men and women like to
know something concrete about an
editor's policies, here are several
planks from my platform which
I have fought for as Associate
Editor of The Plainsman and
which I shall continue to fight for
if you see fit to elect me editor:
1. A student operated book ex­change.
2. Student representation on
the Disciplinary Board.
3. Full coverage of social events,
be it independent, fraternity or
sorority.
4. Full coverage of campus
news through the use of a large
reporting staff.
5. A Teacher-Evaluation system.
6. Class organization.
7. And I shall work for any
other move or proposal which will
better conditions here at Auburn
and I shall back any measure that
will make Auburn a more progres­sive,
democratic institution.
In conclusion, let me say that
ciate editor of the school paper.
I believe that these qualifica­tions
in addition to being enrolled
in journalism courses fully quali­fy
me to represent the student
body as their next editor of The
Auburn Plainsman.
PLAINSMAN BUSINESS
MANAGER
Crawford Nevins
For the past eight quarters I
have had the privilege of being
acting-business manager for one
quarter and working on the busi­ness
staff of The Plainsman for
the other seven. During this time
I have worked closely with Bill
Anderson, Hal Breedlove and Jim
H a y g o o d and

the office is run. For example, at
times an advertisement will be left
out of an issue or will be put in
wrong.
There is only one way a person
^an become qualified to handle
such situations and that is by ex­perience—
by working with others
as they deal with the difficulty
and by learning by actually doing
the work. The work of the busi­ness
manager is too important to
be considered lightly and a tho­rough
knowledge of the work is
of primary importance.
The branch of the paper that I
would work hardest to improve
is the circulation department. In
the past there have been many
complaints about poor circulation.
These complaints have come from
both the students on the campus
and from out of town subscribers,
First, the problem of circulation
on the campus will be dealt with.
It is my wish to have a definite
whether elected or not, I shall ac- i time that the paper will be put
cept each vote with the greatest
humility and the sincerest appre­ciation
in the fact that you placed
your confidence in me to serve as
editor of your Plainsman.
Bob Swift
The importance of tomorrow's
elections cannot be over-empha­sized.
It's important that the stu­dents
carefully select their choices
for office because of the responsi­bility
that the elected officers will
have placed upon them.
I am fully aware of the respon­sibilities
of the editor of The
Plainsman and realize that each
gram of enough interest to keep j issue of the paper reflects credit
those of the staff occupied and : or discredit upon both the insti-interested
for the next four quar­ters.
I propose to make the Glomerata
more representative of the stu­dents
at Auburn with equality to
all groups and classes. I believe
the book should be composed of
material chosen by a larger num­ber
of students and thereby be
presented as the majority would
want it.
As to changes in policy I believe
in full cooperation with the editor
to" create a more harmonious pro­gram
for an Ail-American publi­cation.
Through this union a
smoother program should be de­signed
for the benefit of all.
PLAINSMAN EDITOR
Bruce Greenhill
Tomorrow is a big day for me
and for you. For me. it means that
Auburn students will go to the
polls to decide, among other things,
whether or not I am to be the next
editor of The Plainsman. It's ob­vious
why the election of publi­cations
personnel and the selection
of all Student Government offi­cers
is important to you and I
would like to outline why it means
so much to me.

I am not

of the paper that
need improvement. Such as news

If elected editor, 1 will work to
put out the caliber newspaper
which will be rated as tops among
college newspapers. I will further­more
represent the students on

to reflect credit upon the college
and the student body.
I have been a member of The

quarters and am present news
to do my part j editor. I have also worked on the

for the last four quarters and

of the 1949-50 Tiger Cub. Prior
to entering Auburn I had six
