Miss. State Ticket
Increase Explained
By Athletic Officials
Four Reasons Given
For Charging $1.00
To Homecoming Tilt
In a conference with officials
of the athletic department The
Plainsman learned Monday night
the reasons for the charging of
$1.00 for tickets to the Home­coming
game with Mississippi
State on November 5. Previously
there had been no charge for stu­dent
tickets to home games.
Athletic officials gave four defi­nite
reasons for the increase in
tich&t JR"ces-, The reasons were:.
"(1) The athletic department
can not bring top teams here to
play football games when over
one-third of the total number of
tickets is given away.
"(2) No funds are being re­ceived
from the student activity
fee by the athletic department.
The entire amount of the student
activity fee has been pledged by
college officials to retire the bonds
on Cliff Hare Stadium.
"(3) In order to give Auburn
students additional athletic facili­ties,
such as 14 new tennis courts,
a new baseball field and other
athletic facilities, the athletic de­partment
must have additional
funds. .
"(4) The raise in price received
the unanimous approval of the
Student Executive Cabinet."
In order to find out the views
of the students on the matter ath­letic
officials called for an opin­ion
by the Student Executive
Cabinet. After a discussion of the
matter the cabinet approved of
the raise unanimously.

Final Enrollment
Totals Show Small
Decline From 1948
7223 Students Enroll;
Five Percent Decline
Noted In '49 Figures
Final enrollment figures for the
fall quarter show a decrease of
approximately five percent in
comparison 'with the figures for
the 1948 fall quarter. According
to Registrar Charles Edwards, the
final overall figure for the pres­ent
quarter is 7223 students. 1948
figures totaled 7660.
For the first time in the last
six years the non-veteran enroll­ment
exceeded that of the veteran
figure. This year there are 4122
non-veterans and only 3101 vet­erans.
Last year there were 4285
veterans in comparison with 3375
non-veterans.
A slight increase was noted in
women enrollment as there are
1202 coeds this fall as compared
to 1162 in 1948. Male enrollment
showed a slight drop with 6021
men students this quarter and
6498 last fall.
A breakdown of the enrollment
by classes shows:
Freshman, 1562; Sophomore,
1673; Junior, 1623; Senior and
Fifth year students, 1949; Gradu­ate
students, 200; and unclassi­fied,
216.
Among the 10 s c h o o l s , the
School of Engineering leads with
1803, with the School of Science
and Literature second with 1555,
and the School of Education next
with 1222 students. Other schools
and their enrollment were:
School of Agriculture, 893;
School of Architecture, 657; School
of Pharmacy 313; School of Chem­istry
271; School of Veterinary
Medicine, 265, and School of Home
Economics, 242.
Both Teams Seeking 25th Win In Series;
Coach Dodd's Eleven Favored To Win
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
The razzle-dazzle, rambling wrecks from Georgia Tech
will be hosts to the up and coming Tigers Saturday on At­l
a n t a ' s Grant Field. Each team will be seeking its' twenty-fifth
win of a series that began with a 26-0 Auburn victory
in 1892. To date three games have
ended in tie scores. The Yellow
Jackets were the victims in 1894
of a 94-0 massacre at the hands '
of the Plainsmen—the largest
score ever realized by an Auburn
team.
The shoe, though- somewhat
modified, has been on the other
yfo&t in recent years as the Tigers
have bowed in defeat s e V e n
straight times before the Yellow
Jacket sting. Led by courageous
Rufus Deal, hard-running full­back
who stayed in the game des­pite
a broken elbow, the Plains­men
won a 16-7 thriller in 1940
for their last win from the Geor­gians.

Auburn And Tech Student Leaders
Discuss Problems At Joint Meeting
A meeting to foster good relationships between Auburn
and Georgia Tech was held in Atlanta on Thursday, Oct. 6,
between student leaders of the two institutions. Nine Au­burn
students and T. C Clark, director of student affairs,
represented Auburn at the meeting.
BROWN
COACH-OF-WEEK
Coach Earl Brown received
nine of the 18 ballots cast by
southern sports writers to win
the honor of Southeastern
Coach-of-the-W e e k it was
learned last night. Fullback
Charlie Langner finished a
close second in the number of
votes for player-of-the-week
behind Kentucky's Harry Ul-inski.
s ,
The main purpose of the meet­ing
was to prevent recurrence of
acts of rowdyism and vandalism
which involved students of the
two schools at the Tech-Auburn
game last year. Both groups
agreed that the stealing of rat
caps must be stopped and that
every other precaution should be
taken in order to preserve the
athletic relations between the
two schools.
Another feature of the meet­ing
was the adoption of a reso­lution
establishing an Auburn-
Georgia Tech Relations Commit­tee.
The resolution adopted was:
"The purpose of this committee
shall be to foster friendly rela­tions
between the student bodies
of Auburn and Georgia Tech, par­ticularly
during athletic contests.
"Each school shall be repre­sented
by not less than four nor
more than nine students and their
respective deans of men to meet
once a year, unless by mutual
agreement of each school this
meeting is deemed unnecessary.
Meetings shall alternate from
year to year between the two
campuses. The last school shall
initiate the meeting;
"The responsibility of any cor­respondence
and the work of this
committee shall lie upon the
presidents .of the student bodies
of the two schools."
Auburn students attending the
meeting were:
Joe Meade, Florence; president
of the Executive Cabinet, Joe
(Continued on page 6)
Tech, always a contender for
Southeastern Conference honors,
was picked for seventh place in
the standings by pre-season prog-nosticators.
But their upset vic­tory
over the highly regarded
Vanderbilt Commodores gives
ample reason for hesitation in
counting the Engineers out of the
picture. The Jackets gave the
Tulane Greenies a game battle
last week in a muddy contest that
saw the Green Wave take an 18-0
decision. Last week's 36-6 breath­er
from a hapless Washington and
Lee eleven saw the Tech back-field
display its wares.
Dodd Builds From Sophs
Thirteen lettermen from the

Bobby Dodd's '49 edition and their
shoes have to be filled from the
sophomore ranks. Included in the
list of absentees are two 1948
AU-Americans, Guard Bill Healy
and End George Broadnax.
Three lettermen return for duty
at the terminal slots, four at

only one at center. The backfield

Lost And Found Department Handles
Articles From Overshoe To Slide Rule
One of t h e many services for students offered at Auburn
is t h e Lost and Found Department, operated by the depart­ment
of Buildings and Grounds.
Many of the students do not realize that such a service
exists and that t h e Lost and Found Department is staffed to
hold all lost articles until the
MISS ELIZABETH FULTON, Danforth Foundation Fellow on
the Auburn campus is shown being interviewed by Plainsman
reporter, Bob Swift. Miss Fulton will work with various religious
groups here on the campus.
Danforth Foundation Fellow Begins
Work With Auburn Religious Groups
By Bob Swift
Miss Elizabeth Fulton, Danforth Foundation fellow, has
recently begun her work with church organizations on the
Auburn campus. Miss Fulton comes to Auburn as the rep­resentative
from the Danforth Foundation in St. Louis and
will work with? student fellowships during the next year.
Danforth graduate fellows are
recent college graduates with a
special interest in voluntary, stu-'
dent Christian life, who have
been awarded fellowships enab­ling
them to spend a year in resi­dence
in a college or university
community, with a limited num­ber
of visits to other colleges in
the adjacent territory.
It is the purpose of the fellow
to learn everything possible about
student religious life ancTwork,
both through observation and ac­tive
participation. The fellow's
schedule and program are plan­ned
in consultation with one or
more members of the faculty who
serve as advisors.
Each year scholarships are
awarded by the Danforth Foun­dation
to three Auburn students,
giving them, a trip to St. Louis
and to Camp Miniwanca, Shelby,
Mich., to study for several weeks.
Representatives from. Auburn
this year were Mary Noble Hall,
senior in home economics; Mary
Lind' Medlock, sophomore in
owner calls for them at the of­fice.
The Lost and Found Depart­ment
was rejuvenited four years
ago when Jerry Koster was ap­pointed
manager of the service.
An office was opened and cabi­nets
built to accommodate all lost
articles. Since that time every
article from an overshoe to a
slide rule that is turned in, is tag­ged
and kept until it is identified
by the owner.
Even though the Lost and
Found Department handles lost
articles ,it is lost to a lot of stu­dents
at Auburn. The offices are
located in the B and G building
and are adjacent to the Glomera-ta
office.
The Lost and Found Depart­ment
is a student service on the
campus and they may have your
home economics, and Dick Love-lady,
senior in agriculture.
Miss Fulton has taken an active
interest in religious activities
here. In addition to working with
individual churcHes, she will act
as executive committee secretary
on the Religious Emphasis Week
program and will work with each
of the individual committees con­nected
with this program. She
will work with the Student Coun­cil
and Faculty Committees on
Religious Life, and will assist the
committee on the Religious Life
Lecture Series .
Miss Fulton is a graduate of
Northwestern University, where
she received her B.A. degree in
sociology. Her home is in Fort
Wayne, Ind. Her present address
on the Auburn campus is Room

Sportsmanship Must Be Observed
Last Thursday the editor of this paper,
eight other students and Mr. T. C. Clark
went to Atlanta to r p e e t with student
leaders of Georgia Tech to make plans for
the bettering of relations between Au­burn
and Georgia Tech. At jtjlis meeting
the committees, from both institutions
unanimously agreed that some definite
action must be taken in order to avoid the
uncalled for incidents of rowdyism and
vandalism which occurred at t h e Tech-
Auburn game last year. ]Both groups were
in agreement that Auburn and Tech have
established one of the most remarkable
and enviable athletic rivalries in the na­tion.
They aJsp agreed t h a t every pre­caution
must be taken in order to keep
this series on a high plane and above re­proach.
The committees of both schools work­ed
out definite p l a n s to prevent occur­rence
of the uncalled-for incidents that
took place on the day of the game last
year. Both groups agreed that the tradit­ional
snatching of rat caps was the "root
of the evil" which marred last year's tilt.
Because of the instructions to freshmen of
both schools that they must have a rat
cap from the opposing school much ten­sion
and friction was brought to the front.
After a lengthy discussion the committee
agreed to ask all freshmen at both insti­tutions
not to steal any rat caps 4t the
game this year.
Particular emphasis was placed on the
freshmen who are in fraternities; the In-terfraternity
Councils of both schools are
Auburn's Traffic Tmbh
The traffic and parking situation on
the campus has been a problem for the
past few years. With the increase in en­rollment
and of student car owners, the
condition grew increasingly dangerous.
The college has recently taken steps to
ease the parking problem and has done
much to alleviate the oncerdeplorable
situation. By creating parking fots and
prohibiting parking in busy areas, a work­able
solution was found—one that did not
necessitate t h e removal of student cars
from the campus, as is the case at many
schools.
The biggest problem on the campus
now concerns traffic. The present situa­tion
is as dangerous as ever and remains
a potential death trap. Many drivers seem
to forget safely rules, laws and driving
etiquette when they take the controls of
an automobile. Though no acicdents have
been reported so far this quarter, an an­nouncement
of a traffic fatality at any
time would be met with little surprise.
The two biggest factors responsible for
the danger are speeding and failure to give
proper right of way.
What Do You Read?
How much do you read? No, we are
not referring to the comic section or the
sports page. We are talking about news­papers
as a whole, weekly and monthly
magazines, and other similar periodicals,
and of course, books from the library.
It is a well-known fact that the person
who has the most misconceptions, preju­dices,
and warped opinions is usually the
least read. The person who knows the
facts is cautious in forming opinions. He
is not narrow-minded ,or dogmatic. He
thinks clearly before stating his views.
The ignorant person can tell you every­thing
about everything. He does not have
to refer to books for his knowledge, he
gets it by heresay, by rumor, or by fabri­cating
it from his own mind. Lacking ini­tiative
in reading about some matter, he
eagerly pounces on some rumor and rides
it for all it is worth.
taking steps to prevent the pilfering of
the precious caps by frat frosh. The com­mittees
agreed to go back to their respec­tive
student bodies and ask that students
give full co-operation in attempting to
prevent an occurrence of t h e nature ,of
last year's disturbance.
After talking with and being enter­tained
by the Gorgia Tech delegation, the
Auburn committee was firmly convinced
that every possible step should be taken
to prevent any unsportsmanlike act on the
part of Auburn students at the game Sat­urday.
The two groups a l s o agreed to
form a permanent combination composed
of at least nine students and one faculty
member of each school in order to foster
better relations between the two schools.
To back up their promises of seeing that
rowdyism is prevented, the groups agreed
to turn over to the disciplinary committees
of the schools any case which involves
students of the two schools.
It is encouraging to see the students of
both schools discussing frankly the prob­lems
involved in the Tech-Auburn game
and taking action to strengthen the posi­tions
of both schools. Any snatching of rat
caps or any other similar act on the part
of Auburn students will be uncalled-for
and will receive the proper disciplinary
action from school authorities. Let's go to
Atlanta with the intention of "Wrecking
Tech's" football hopes, and at the same
time build up a stronger relationship of
friendliness and sportsmanship between
Tech and Auburn.
Little need be said about the first. The
danger involved in speeding has b e en
stressed to the point where warnings now
fall on unhealing ears. Unless tbe threat
of arregt is present, many drivers seem in­capable
of holding up pn the gas pedal.
Giving proper right of way at crossings
is practically ignored here. In Auburn,
drivers are permitted to turn right on a
red light after a complete stop. Neverthe­less,
if pedestrians are crossing on green,
they should be permitted to cross before
cars proceed. This has long been the ac­cepted
policy, though ignored, and will be­come
a state law Jan. 1, 1950.
Municipal and campus police are re­luctant
to enforce these regulations too
strictly. They would much prefer a volun­tary
change in the situation from student
drivers themselves.
The traffic problem is one that should
be of great concern to campus drivers, as
well as pedestrians. If every driver will
make a positive effort to abide by laws,
regulations and courtesy practice, the Au­burn
campus and the town of Auburn will
become an area of safe traffic and lose its
menacing atmosphere.
The well-read person, like the educated
person, is humble. He knows that he can­not
be an authority on everything. He
considers each problem squarely and hon­estly,
and makes no snap judgements. He
reads both sides of the question and forms
his opinions intelligently.
The next time you read a newspaper,
look at the front page carefully. There
might be something there that interests
you, and clears up some misconstrued idea
that you may have, and proper knowledge
pf the facts might save you embarrass­ment
and criticism. M a k e it a habit to
read one of the weekly magazines. They
have the news in condensed form, and
they offer many and varied opinion on all
matters. When you do reading for a,class,
don't breeze through w i t h the idea of
"getting it off." Try to get something out
of what you read. It might surprise you,
but some of those books are actually very
interesting.—McMurry War Whoop.
More and More by Gene Moore Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Do you know that your life is under the control of the solar
system, and that by following certain advice from those in the
know, you' can make or break yourself? At least, that's what
Clay R. Pollan wOuld have you believe.
Pollan is the compiler of a syn­dicated
feature, "Star Gazer," ap­pearing
in many daily news­papers
throughout the country.
Believers in the mystic are in­formed
as to the favorability of
the day, whether good, adverse
or natural, and are given a spe­cial
message.
The system employs a break­down
method according to birth­days,
which determine signs of
the zodiac. For instance, I was
born under Aries, the Ram, and
merely because there are about
twelve million other people in the
United States alone who are also
under the Ram's influence, there's
no reason why all of the Rams of
the world couldn't benefit by
heeding the 'same message each
.day.
I know people
who are such
firm believers
in Mr. Pollan
that they dasn't
l e a v e t h e ir
abode or make
plans in the
morning with­out
first con­sulting
the gaz­er.
If the paper
deliver or if by
s t r o k e of an
editor the feature is omitted, the
extreme cultist refuses to carry
out his daily routine and remains
at home all day in fearful uncer­tainty.
The sentences of advice are
very clearly presented. Only hints
of the future, with plenty of
"mays" for loopholes, are in­volved.
Believers are probably
created through interpretations
by curious readers who have a
hidden liking for the supernatur­al,
and who are looking for a new
means of escape. For instance,
when a gambler born under Can­cer
notices that an adverse day
is forecast, and that his message
warns him to let financial decis­ions
wait until later, he decides
to refuse to take Notre Dame and
21 points against Oshkosh and
Oshkosh trounces the Irish 55-0,
an avid believer is born.
Many readers change their
moods and personality every day
because of- "Star Gazer." The ad­vice
for one day may say "Make
ats few contacts as possible" and
the fanatic is cold and aloof to
all he chances to meet. The fol­lowing
day he is told that his
"personality sparkles — promote
Mcleer
carrier fails to
some wicked
your ideas," and he knocks him­self
out with hand-shaking and
back-slapping.
Occasionally Pollan comes out
with some rather radical ideas.
Just the other day I was given an
unusual bit of advice—something
that had never before occured to
me. "Don't argue with people," I
was warned. "They resent it."
Never before had I been so en­lightened
by a new philosophy of
life.
The most sensible reaction to a
"Star Gazer" message was that of
an acquaintance of mine who en­joyed
the finer things of life—
namely Scotch. One morning he
read "Your spirits may be de­pressed
slightly," and he franti­cally
dashed to his liquor closet
for a quick check on his supply.
All of his fifths had turned into
pints.
* * *
One of the most rewarding of
extra-curricular activites is that
of the choral groups—the Men's •
Glee Club-and the College Choir.
This conclusion can be drawn
from the attitude of members of
these groups who engage in this
program from four to five hours
a week plus additional time for
concerts and tours.
Many colleges throughout the
land take great pride in their glee
clubs. At Yale,.the glee club is
an activity that carries great dis­tinction
for its members. Emory
has a famous club which regular­ly
goes on tours that bring praise.
In recent years, Auburn's chor­al
groups have improved consid­erably.
At one time, singers were
directed by those who taught
subjects other than music. These
groups did well, under the cir-
" cumstances. Now that trained dir­ectors
are on the music staff, the
Men's Glee Club and College
Choir should increase in excel­lence.
Campus songsters are suffering
this quarter because of poor re­sponse
on the part of students.
The glee clubs' memberships so
far, are way below their quota.
Dr..Hollace Arment, head of the
music department, and Charles
Bentley, director, have asked that
all students who would like to
join either the men's club or the
mixed chorus contact them.
The Glee Club meets Monday
through Thursday at 5 p.m. in
TB 13, and the Choir meets at
11 a.m., Monday through Friday
in the same room. There are
many openings in both organiza­tions
for thpse interested.
Letter To The Editor
Dear Fellow Students:
On October 6, 1949, a commit­tee
consisting of 10 representa­tives
each f r o m Auburn and
Georgia Tech met on the Georgia
Tech Campus to discuss means by
which the high spirit of competi­tion
which prevails at athletic
contests could be maintained and
yet avoid any sort of incidents
which would bring discredit upon
the students and endanger the re­lationships
now existing between
the two colleges.
The committee members of
both institutions agreed that
friendly rivalry was very desir­able
but that it could be carried
too far and might thusly prove
to be very "embarrasing.
In an effort to avoid the type
of incidents which might lead to
serious trouble the committee
makes the following recommen­dations:
(1) Campus groups at both in­stitutions
discourage the snatch­ing
of rat caps since the gain of
such actions does not equal the
serious consequences which may
result."
(2) That persons responsible
for defacing or destroying prop­erty
be seriously dealt with since
such actions could not be condon­ed.
(3) That students keep in mind
at all times the desirability of
amiable relations between Geor­gia
Tech and Auburn, and govern
themselves accordingly.
With these principles in mind,
the committee hereby appeals to
ajl students and request? their
cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
AUBURN-GEORGIA TECH
S T U D E N T RELATIONS
COMMITTEE
One will get you ten that you,
blissful in your ignorance, didn't
even realize that this is National
Be Kind to Shoe Shine Boys
Week. And National Wear a Car­nation
Week. And National Stamp
Collecting Week. And National
Eat More Anchovies Week.
This sort of thing has gone too
far. Manufacturers, advertising
agencies, reform groups, and ordi­nary
people who derive a certain
amount of pleasure from naming
things, have split up the solar
year into 52 equal parts. To each
part they have given several
names; to these people a period of
seven days is not just a plain,
ordinary, contented week, but it
is a national week of one kind or
another.
Recently I determined to try
for a week—for just one week—
to effect all that the promoters of
the national week program seem
to think the American citizen
capable o f accomplishing. The
particular week which I chose for
my experiments was National
Pull Weeds Week, National Whist­ling
Week, National Pat a Dog
Week, and National See More
Movies Week. Jotting down these
essential facts upon my shirt cuff,
I set out to do my duty as the
inventors of these National Weeks
saw it.
The basic idea behind National
Pull Weeds Week was that if
every American polled five weeds
mately 5,250,000,000 fewer, ac­cording
to calculations of the ex­perts)
weeds at the end of that
week than there had been at its
beginning. So for seven consecu­tive
days, I tugged at the rate of
five weeds per day. I managed to
yank up my quota of weeds after
a day for a solid week, there
would be far fewer (approxi-persistent
struggles, even though
doing so meant the soiling of my
chubby little hands and the ap­pearing
of green smudges upon
the knees of my new corduroy
knickers.
Because it had been proclaimed
National Whistling Week, I puck­ered
up and began to exhale,
satisfied that millions of people
all • over the United States were
likewise whistling with great gus­to.
Even though it meant a steadi­ly
tiring set of lungs, I whistled
almost constantly throughout the
period known as National Whist­ling
Week (later c a l l e d "The
Week of the Big Wind").
During the course of this week
I strove to pat every dog which
passed near; and although some
of the dogs were chased down
and submitted to the patting un­der
force, with no pleasure to pat­ter
or pattee, it is with no little
pride that I say that I did my
be"st. At the end of the week I
had stroked or pounded the heads
of more dogs than I had known
to exist, even though it almost
meant the loss of my third finger,
left hand, when a frisky great
Dane playfully siezed it between

Generally Speaking By Bruce GreenhiH
"Women, darn the sweet little
things,
You can't live with 'em
And you can't live without
'em."
These words were written by
some waggish poet, probably in
the Romantic Period, who really
knew what he was talking about.
"Women" is a well-rounded
subject for discussion—figurative­ly
speaking of course. I have al­ways
had an in­nate
desire to
u n r a v e l the
the sweater girl
problem myself
and I have not­iced
that the
main topic for
discussion i n
bull sessions is
"Woman, her
wiles and wool-ies."
I think that a
course in fe­male
psycholo­gy
(with labs) would be a fine
addition to the psychology de­partment's
curriculum at this in­stitution.
Some of us may even
plan to be married now that
we've been caught in the loving
clutches of some adorable little
minx and we need a little pre­vious
poop as to what to expect.
Nearly all the men on this cam­pus
have had at least a slight
brush with the opposition in the
game of love and each of these
has been at a loss to understand
female behavior at one time or
GreenhiH
another. Possibly, some have even
contemplated turning hermit and,
according to King Cole, that isn't
a bad idea ("You don't get much
lovin' but you do save").
Others have probably just de­cided
to end it all. What is it that
causes this type of behavior? Its
a compound of calcium, barium,
iodine and a few other things that
are worth about 93 cents on the
open market.
Why do such organisms hold
such a high place in the hearts
of men? I haven't the slightest
idea unless its because they're
such wonderful little organisms-
Some people say that the male
species is the one which does the
"chasing." Well, I don't know
about that—I think that the best
way of expressing it would be
to say that a woman doesn't chase
a man, but that a mouse trap
doesn't chase a mouse either. Wo­men
dress to attract men and
men are attracted to women's
dresses and everyone is happy,
altho' the man is still confused.
What I've been saying is that
women aren't exactly paragons
of specie like we men, but that
they are indispensable. 'They
give us heartaches, headaches
and just generally keep us from
knowing whether we are in low
or reverse; but we all want to
drive down Amor Road one of
these days and we can think of
no better travelling companion
than a beautiful woman. To sum
up the case, we aren't ready to
take our ribs back just yet.

At last week's meeting of the
Student Executive Cabinet, a pro­posal
was introduced to provide
for better organization of the
various classes at Auburn. The
proposed plan is designed to re­create
a spirit of friendly rivalry
among the classes. In the past an
Auburn alumnus took pride in be­ing
a member of the class of 1912,
for example. Recent graduates
can only say that they received a
degree from Auburn since they
had no organized class when they
were in school.
The cabinet plan is definitely
still in the plan-j
. _ \.. w ; * ning stage, but
to me it seems
to be a splendid
idea. With the
success of this
y e a r ' s fresh­man
orientation
program, it is
an ideal time to
begin the task
of getting all
the classes well-organized.
A number of
Cannon schemes h a ve
already been suggested for the
advocated project. Many students
probably don't even know which
class they belong to. Notices
could be sent studemts telling
them which class they are mem­bers
of and at the same time an­nouncing
time of class meetings.
Posters could be placed on the
major bulletin boards.
To arouse interest in the meet­ings,
someone has suggested that
each class hold a raffle of prizes
donated by local merchants.
While the class members were
gathered for the raffles, enthu­siasm
could be aroused for class
organization. Perhaps class pro­jects
could be selected to stimu­late
rivalry and build support »j
within each class.
The plan now calls for organi­zation
of the freshman class first.
This should be somewhat easier
than the organization of the
upper classes because the fresh- f
men are not already seeped in
the attitude of apathy that pla-,
gues some of the rest of us.
With the organization of the
freshman class, the desire to ex-cell
the work done by the rats
should spur the upper classmen
to success. These class meetings
would give us an opportunity to
judge the leadership ability of our
class presidents. At the same
time, they would give the other
class officers something to do.
Although this program is jus£
in the beginning stages, if a small «|
nucleus in each class would ti
day begin to enthusiastically suj-port
the project of class organi­zation
it could be carried througa
to completion. Through this mA
dium, we could improve the spin
it of our school and lay the founi
dation for strong alumni support!
in the future. \
Bottom Of
The Barrel
By Roger McClarty
The power of words is with­out
a doubt unparalleled.
Little would one think that just
two words could maKe a shambles
out of a well-kept living room.
One evening not long ago, the
unexpected happened and I must
in all fairness give credit to a
weird American custom callled
"Fraternity Rushing."
The trouble seemed to stem
from the fact
that every one
was not equip­ped
with a uni­que
little red
booklet entit­led,
Pan Hel-/
l e n i c Hand-'
book. It is a
compact little
bundle of rules,
regulations, in-
-i formation, and
McClarty assorted advice
compiled to p e r s u a d e young
college g i r l s that life can be
beautiful in a sorority. I will be
the first to concede it is a yery
effective weapon—atomic-like in
character.
It seems that on every week- •
end groups of boys and girls drift
into the various fraternity houses
and dance to records and chat.
Often the assembled dates drift .
in, and in this manner have all
better time than they do at plan-1
ned parties. We had a very con­genial
group in the other evening,
candles cast a soft light, sweet
music floated in the air, mixed
with animated conversation and
joyful laughter.
Then it all happened so quickly
it still seems rather vague, but
some fool turned on the bright
lights. The girl I was talking to
looked across the room, gasped,
and ran. I looked for what I

comprised of former members of
the Fundamentals of Radio class.
Arrangements have been made
to have two broadcasts each week
over WAUD. On Tuesday at 7:30
p.m. a fifteen minute program will
be presented. This will highlight
campus news events and feature
condensations of sports, society,
administration and general news.
On Thursday nights at 7:30 the
club will present a fifteen minute
dramatic skit. Parts are to be as­signed
to rotating groups within
the club.
The club was set up with a two­fold
purpose—to transmit news of
campus events to the student body
and to furnish training and ex­perience
for the members who in­tend
to do work in the field of
radio.
Dr. Barksdale's Book,
Titanium/ Published
Dr. Jelks Barksdale. of the
School of Chemistry, has had a
reference book, "Titanium", pub­lished
by the Ronald Press Co.,
New York.
Dr. Barksdale said the book,
which has more than 4,000 refer­ences
of literature on titanium, is
the culmination of several years
of research on the subject.
Before coming to Auburn three
and a half years ago, he was a
research chemist at the titanium
division of the National Lead
Company, New York.
According to Barksdale the
purpose of the book is to meet the
need for a comprehensive working
reference volume on titanium to
meet the requirements of those
interested in sources, chemistry
and technology of the element and
its range of applications.
At present Dr. Barksdale is
working on a new textbook,
"General Chemistry", which is
scheduled to come off the press
January 1.

YOUNG SCIENTISTS ARE BUILDING
CAREERS WITH DU PONT FROM
CONNECTICUT TO TEXAS
When you think of Du Pont research,
you may think first of Wilrnington,
Delaware. Actually, only eight of the
Company's 36 research groups are
located there. D u Pont scientists now
pursue their studies in 11 states scat­tered
from Connecticut to Texas.
Each of these laboratories is a self-contained
operation. It may be de­voted
in part to fundamental re­search
and applied research, or to
investigations looking to the devel­opment
of new products—sometimes
a combination of these activities.
An unusual Du Pont laboratory
is one opened last year at Newburgh,
New York.
Irtf ide the laboratory
In the three-story building at New­burgh,
scientists have at their dis­posal
the most modern equipment
for study of coated fabrics and plas­tic
sheetings under all sorts of con­ditions.
For example, a new product
can be tested in a room maintained
at a temperature of -20° F. In other
rooms, the effects of high tempera­ture
and humidity can be studied.
Equipment is available for testing
tensile strength, tear resistance, fad­ing,
flex and flame resistance, and
many other characteristics. One of
Du Pont's 33 libraries has quarters
in the building; there is a photo­graphic
darkroom, as well as offices,
conference and work rooms.
The Newburgh Laboratory works
closely with the adjacent plant, which
makes "Fabrikoid" pyroxylin coated
fabrics, "Fabrilite" vinyl resin coated
fabrics and plastic sheetings, "Ton­tine"
washable window shade cloth,
bookbinding materials, and other
coated and impregnated fabrics and
plastic sheetings for many uses. .
Research at Du Pont
Research has long been a major ac­tivity
at Du Pont, and it flourishes
in an atmosphere of appreciation,
encouragement and patience. The*
new products, the new plants, and
the new and better jobs of the years
to come will develop from the pains­taking
research programs being car­ried
on today in the laboratories.

E. K. Holden, M. S. Ch. E., Delaware '48,

insulating material with special apparatus at
the Newburgh Laboratory.
Choice of Careers
Each of the Du Pont manufacturing;
departments conducts continuous
research. They operate much like
separate companies, with interests
ranging from heavy chemicals to
plastics and textile fibers. Each holds
challenging opportunities for college-trained
chemists and physicists, as
well as chemical, civil, electrical, in­dustrial
and mechanical engineers,
also those specializing in production, .
sales and many other fields.
In this alert, ever-growing organi­zation,
young graduates can bhoose
from a variety of careers the one
that suits them best as their ability
and interests develop.
Niwul 0 u fori! laboratory, at Newburgh, N. Y., was opened last year. It is devoted to research and
development work in the field of coated and impregnated fabrics and allied products.

far this season. He's Jimmy Jor­dan,
a native of Birmingham,
who's seeking his fourth letter as
a varsity gridder.
Tech Tactics
Under the leadership of genial
Coach William A. Alexander, now
athletic director at Tech, t he
Jackets became the chief ex­ponent
of the razzle-dazzle, spec­tacular
brand of play that has de­veloped
into today's fast-breaking
"T" system. Bobby Dodd came to
Tech in 1931 and was groomed by
Alexander fourteen years for the
job of head coach. Dodd natural­ly
has carried' on in his tradition
and Tech teams have compiled
envious records under his tute­lage.
The Jackets employ the "f,"
which is made to order for their
light, fast backs. A fast-moving
forward wall Is likewise essential
to the success of the "T" and
that's just what the Engineers fea­ture.
Tigers Keyed For Game
Auburn's rivalry with Tech is
always fierce with the Plains­men
going all out to "Wreck
Tech." As both teams use the,
"T", the contest is certain to pro­vide
plenty of thrills with aerial
warfare accounting for the lion's
share.
Auburn showed much of the
old-time fight in the Florida fray
and returned to the Loveliest Vil­lage
confident that the Yellow
Jackets will have a run for their
money next Saturday.
The Plainsmen emerged from
their neaf-victory over the Gators
in good physical shape. Nothing
beyond the inevitable bruises and
sore muscles cropped up to plague
the already injury-ridden Tigers.
Saturday's Battle of Atlanta will
renew an ancient rivalry and
should prove even spicier this
year with the reliance both teams
place upon their crop of spirited
sophomores.
From t h e Pajama Parade
Thursday night to the final
whistle Saturday, Auburn will be
gunning to "WRECK TECH."

nearly wrenching" it from its
socket, and causing it to bleed
freely all over the front of my

To conform to the rigid princi­ples
set down by the establishers
of National See More Movies
Week, I attended' every movie
which came along, even though it
meant the expending of three
months' savings in a seven-day
period. Moreover, I consumed
huge quantities of popcorn during
my visits to the theater, although
to the best of my knowledge it
was' not National Eat More Pop­corn
Week.
I had given the program a fair
trial. Dirty hands, green weed-stains
on my n e w corduroy
knickers, overworked lungs, a
lacerated ring finger, more pop­corn
than was good for me, and
a deflated billfold were the only
things I had g o t t e n for my
troubles. My", ultimate decision,
based upon impartial tests, was
that the practice of calling an in­terval
of seven days a national
week of some sort has gotten out
of hand. Conditions were better
all over the world when a week
was a week instead of a night­mare
of titles. Something must be
done to improve the world.
My plan is to add another week
to the 52 already in the year,
even if it causes the upsetting of
all the principles and standards
of time as we know it. The Con­stitution
of the United States
could be amended so as to make
it unlawful to call this 53rd week
anything except a "week", or at
the most "Week Number 53".
During this week everyone can
relax, secure in the knowledge
that he is not shirking some sup­posed
duty. It seems to me that
only in this way can lasting peace
be provided to a world plagued
by national weeks.

and will proceed across the
campus to Magnolia Street, to
Toomer's Corner up North Col­lege
to Tichenor Street, across to
Gay, then south to Magnolia, and
from Magnolia to South College
Street. The group will then go
down Thach to the stadium where
the rally will be completed.
The pep rally dance will be
held from 7:30 until 9:30 p.m. No
student will be admitted in paja­mas.
Rules Given
Rules governing the marching
groups in entering stunts in the
parade are:
1. All members of t he groups
must be dressed in pajamas un­less
the theme of the stunt is
otherwise. Each entry -must be
clearly identified with his organ­ization,
either by a sign or by
paint on his forehead.
2. Two upperclassmen must ac­company
each group and be re­sponsible
for the group.
3. No automobiles are permis­sible.
Wagons may be used, but
walking groups are preferred.
4. All students participating in
the stunts must be Auburn fresh­men.
Violation of any of the. above
rules will automatically disqual­ify
any group.
Don Tillery, chairman of the
freshman pep committee, stated
that all freshmen are advised to
be present at the stadium as a
spot check will be made by cal­ling
the names of freshmen pick­ed
at random. Tillery added, "Un­less
the freshmen answer at the
meeting, they will be turned over
to the Pep Committee's "A" Club
representative."
A pre-game pep rally is sche­duled
for 11 a.m. at the Varsity
Drive-In in Atlanta. Eden urges
students to decorate their cars
and bring noisemakers.

Tigers Surprise Gators In 14-14 Tie;
Hunsinger Held By Improved Defense
BULWARK IN LINE
By Stuart Stevenson, Jr.
The "Gator Express," slated to roll through Auburn
the 1:30 fast freight, just couldn't make the grade. It's
gineer, Charlie "The Florida Flyer" Hunsinger failed to
up steam.
Although a 14-14 tie goes on
the record, it was a Tiger show
all the way. Things started pop­ping
from the first whistle as the
Plainsmen took the opening kick-off
and proceeded to chalk up a
tally. Tidwell cranked off the |
Tiger offense just ss pre-game
predictions h a d announced the
Auburn attack would unfold. He
flipped a flat pass to Soph Half­back
Bobby Golden who covered
55 yards in a spine-tingling run.
Golden didn't gallop madly along
the sideline nor crash through
would-be tacklers—he artistically
zigzagged and dodged his way to­ward
paydirt. After a couple of
line bucks that put the ball on the
Gator 6, Golden sliced off tackle
for the TD.

everybody. Instead of battling for
air supremacy, the Tigers elected
<a batter the Gator line. In this
department it was Fullback Char­lie
Langner who stole the show.
Langner racked up 116 yards in
fifteen running attempts—one of
which was a bull-dozing 25 yard
charge for a touchdown. Auburn
tactics kept the Gator guessing
and Auburn backs ran as though
they meant it.
Defense Improved
The Auburn line charged with
a vengeance the likes of which
have been missing for a long
time. They held the touted Hun­singer
to 44 yards in 10 tries. The
Tigers used a five and four man
line. Usually it was three centers
backing up the main wall with
Frank Hayes, John Crolla, Bll
Hogarth, and Jim Williams, turn­ing
in superb performances. Ralph

for a score, a thrilling leaping
pass catch in the^ end zone by
Left End Don Brown, and some
deadly downfield blocking on the
occasion of the Gator's one shot at

Florida threat.

scoreboard c l o c k indicating 20
seconds remaining, and the Au­burn
fans howling for a touch­down,
confusion reigned supreme
on the playing field. Tidwell and
Wallis charged onto the field, the
Florida team headed for the side­lines,
the Tigers milled around
the ball, and the officials franti­cally
waved their arms. Time had
run out. And a bruised Gator had
emerged with his hide intact.

The Fallacy Of Opening Games
Opening games invariably place football coaches on the
spot as to their team's prospects. Coupled with the early
fall predictions of "experts" throughout the country, this
opening game does much to focus attention on or detract at­tention
from a team. If a "breather" is scheduled first and
the team comes through with a high-score victory, devoted
fans picture an unblemished record for their favorites. On
the other hand, an opening game defeat is apt to induce dire
predictions of things to come.
The case of Florida and Auburn suggests the classic ex­ample.
The Gators lived up to their press notices in their
first two encounters by handing the Citadel Bulldogs a 13-0
licking and then manhandling the University of Tulsa with
a 40-7 shellacking to ride high on the crest of favorable com­ment.
Coach Brown, on the other hand, found himself star­ing
down the familiar barrel of pessimism after the Tigers
were steamrolled by Ole Miss.
The Florida fray, then, was to be a Gator show. But the
Tiger had other plans and proceeded to come out of its lair
to upset the dopesters. Coach Brown's decision to "sacrifice"
the Plainsmen now takes on the aspect of sound strategy.
Auburn's comparitively green squad was shown first hand
what it would have to face in the long road ahead and came
back knowing that victory would require plenty of hard
work. Saturday's tie game was a moral victory if there ever
was one, and could well be the shot in the arm needed to give
the Tiger confidence. .
* * *
Scribes Encouraged By Fla. Showing
Sport writers from Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery,
and Mobile, who have remained loyal to Auburn despite vthe
tough sledding of the past few seasons, found something to
write about after Saturday's contest. To the man they sang
the praises of a determined Tiger eleven that refused to play
the underdog.
Sunday's papers carried glowing accounts of Tiger prow­ess
and the scribes were lavish in their praise. Not con­tent
with appraising the game, they went on to predict better
things for the Plainsmen provided they continue to show, the
improvement as seen this past week. All agreed that the
Tigers should have emerged victorious by anywhere from one
to three touchdowns.
It is extremely encouraging to see the men from the press
box viewing Auburn with optimism. Zipp Newman of the
Birmingham News penned the keynote by observing that the
Tigers are likely to lower the* boom somewhere along the
in SEC circles.
Auburn has reason to be grateful to the scribes. Appropri­ate
expression can well be made with a continuance of the
brand of ball unleashed against the Gator.
