Union Building Plans
Face Students Thursday
Referendum Would Raise Activity Fee
As Provision To Finance Union Building
Auburn students will go to the( polls tomorrow to vote
"yes" or "no" on the question of whether to raise the student
activity fee in order to finance the construction of a Union
Building. Voting booths will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
with boxes at the Main Gate, Comer Hall, Cary Hall and
Ramsay Engineering Building
Students will vote on the fol­lowing
question: "That the student
activity fee be increased a maxi­mum
of $2 for the purpose of con­structing
a Union Building. This
increase shall not become effec­tive
earlier than two years before
construction is begun on the build­ing,
and the increase in the fee
shall be removed when the build­ing
is paid for.
A vote "yes" on the question
will help clear the way f6r ac­tion
by the Boarc or Trustees
in setting up a financial program
for the building of a Union on
the campus, Union Building
Committee stated.
For the past two quarters a com­mittee
of the Student Executive
Cabinet has investigated the pos­sibility
of securing a Union Build­ing.
Upon the recommendation of
this committee Dr! Ralph Draughon
appointed Travis Ingram, T. C.
Clark and William McGehee to
work with the committee in draw­ing
up a possible plan.
The joint committee reported
that approximately $400,000 can
be made available toward con­struction
of $1,000,000 Fund­i
n g ; t h a t t h e r e m a i n i ng
$ 6 0 0 , 0 0 0 can be raised
through a bond issue if it is
supported by an increase in the
student activity fee, and that an
increase in the student activity
fee of $2 per year will be neces­sary
to support the bond issue.
Acting on the finding of this
joint committee, the Student Exe­cutive
Cabinet called a referen­dum
for Thursday, May 25, to
determine whether or not students
favor this proposal.
Spokesmen for the Union Build­ing
Committee urged students to
read air available material on the
Union Building plan here as well
as information on unions on other
campuses. "Auburn's greatest need
in becoming a strong, progressive
institution is the acquisition of a
Union Building," officials stated.
If the students approve of the
question in tomorrow's election
the result of the referendum will
be sent to the Board of Trustees
along with the proposed plan,
Union Building Committeemen
stated.

Vote "YES"
One of the most important elections
in the history of student government at
Aubufh Will be held tomorrow. Students
will gd to the bolls to vote "yes" or "no"
'otythto question: "That the ito$ij&jf0t£\
fee he increased a maximum of $2 for the
purpose of constructing a Union Building.
This increase shall not become effective
earlier than two years before construction
is begun on the building, and the increase
itt the fee shall be removed when the
building is paid for.'*
The need for a Union Building on the
Auburn campus is clearly visible. The pur­pose
for such a building is easy to see when
investigating the plahs for the proposed
building as well as inadequate facilities
now offered on the Auburn campus. The
benefits from the Union Building are being
pointed out elsewhere in today's Plains-rriam
Other vital information in regards to"
the proposed plan and building may be
found in today's Plainsman,
During the past quarter we have car­ried
detailed reports on the findings of the
Union Building Committee in order to
showthe necessity, purpose and benefits of
such a building-here. Through these re­ports
we have endeavored to show the
Auburn students the report of the Com­mittee
and the progress made in regards
to the Union Building project.
The plan for the financing of the build­ing
is sound and broad. It offers ah oppor­tunity
for every Auburn student to con­tribute
<'n a small way to the building of a
Greater Auburn. Unless the Auburn stu­dents
and officials take advantage of the
cppof^niiftesfr for financing fhe^fiion
Building, We are afraid that Auburn will
never have such a broad opportunity to
finance a project.
The Plainsman urges all students to
vote "yes" on the referendum tomorrow.
A vote "yes" will mean a vote for a sound
program for the building of a better or­ganised
student body; a stronger program
for student government; better recreation­al
and sdcial benefits for ALL students;
and a saving fdr students through the var­ious
activities (book exchange, barber
shop, snack bar, cafeteria, etc.) which will
be housed in the building.
A vote "yes-' will mean a vote for a
Greater Auburn. If the Auburn student
body overwhelmingly approves of the re­ferendum
tomorrow, then the Board of
Trustees will be given a good indication of
hew the proposed program is received by
students. The college officials have already
approved Of the project,
The Plainsman urges students to read
all available material on the proposed
Union Building, A vote "yes" tomorrow
will clear the way for swift action on this
worthwhile project. A vote "yes" will
mean Auburn students are ready to help in
the building of a Greater Auburn.
Congratulations Glomerata Staff !!
Last week marked the issuance of the
53rd Glomerata in Auburn history, the
1950. Glomerata. This, the largest Auburn
yearbook yet, is indeed a worthy publica­tion.
We Would like to take this opportun­ity
to congratulate Glom editor Harry
Golemon and business manager Dick Hut­chinson
on a job well done.
The '50 book, from the striking cover
on through the sports Section, is truly char^-
acteristic of "plains-mania" as it depicts

Why We Go Tabloid
Since the announcement in last week's
Plainsman that the paper would be pub­lished
in tabloid form this summer, We
haVe been approached by many students
who wish to know the reasons for the
change and what a tabloid paper would
be like.
In order that We may fully acquaint the
studehts with this important ehahge in the
publication of The Plainsman, we feel that
explanation is itt order.
Three major factors have influenced
the switch in size. First, due to a big drop
in enrollment less organizations will be
active and less'campus activity will be tak­ing
place. This obviously will cut down on
the amount of news available, instead of
printing 4-page ahd 6-page issues in metro­politan
size, papers of 8 and 12 pages will
be possible in tabloid editions.
Second, a very small staff to put out the
paper is anticipated. The smaller site will
make it easier for the students on the staff
to publish the paper without being over­worked.
Third, the majority of college newspap­ers
today are tabloid in size, and, although
this year, gives a good portrayal of A.P.I,
athletics. Especially noteworthy is the
coverage of t h e never-to-be-forgotten
'Bafria game. Ed Lee Spencer, Glom sports
editor, is to be congratulated for his out­standing
work.
Also, on behalf of the student body,
we'd like to congratulate the Glomerata
Staff for distributing the book at this early
date. And circulation manager Graham
Everidge is to be commended for the job
he did in organizing and supervising the
issuing of the book—4500 Glomeratas pass­ed
out in two days.
All in all, the 1950 Glomerata repre­sents
a big task well-done by a hard-work­ing
group of men and women. Good work!
We are not just following a trend, the size
is reportedly easier to handle, more read­able,
and a better outlet for advertising.
A tabloid Plainsman will be an experi­ment,
a means of determining the popu­larity
of this size among readers. Student
reaction may prove a determining point in
this paper's page size in the future. This is
a step in The Plainsman program of giving
students the kind of paper most desired.
For those not familiar with the tabloid
publication, it is the size used by the Au­burn
Alumnews. All schools in the South­eastern
Conference, which are the insti­tutions
with which we have the most com-,
mon ties generally, use this Size except Ole
Miss, Mississippi State, Kentucky,>and Au­burn.
Over 40 out of 50 collegiate papers
with which we exchange are tabloid today.
The Plainsman welcomes this oppor­tunity
to experiment with journalism on
the campus. We are looking for students
to constructively criticize and express op­inions
about the change. We hope that the
summer experiment will strengthen the
position of The Plainsman with its readers.

Plain Talk
d U a I I II
By the Editor Cannon Report
SAY MISTf*' t OiDN*r KNOW It WAS REAL
Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Ah, the weather! Probably no subject has had so many
words said and written about it since the origin of Sanskrit,
but, to coin a phrase, no one ever seems to do anything about
it. (Except the rainmakers, of course, and who wants to make
rain?)
One plan which has received a
good bit of serioiis attention, by
me at any rate, would hot actual­ly
change the elements, but would
counteract the effect of the sUih-i
i i e r heat t,d
s o m e degree.
T h e 'proposal,
which has been
adopted and
used for some
time by Walter
Wellington o f
Muscogee, Fla.,
is that students
o n c a m p us
wear s h o r ts
d u r i n g the
McTeer "non-r" mohths
as a practice of combating the dis­comforts
Old South causes.
The benefits of this plan are
multifold and too obvious to dis­cuss
here. A few drawbacks have
been mentioned. Chief of these
has to do with tradition and con­vention.
There are some uneh-
' lightened souls oh this earth who
do give more than a tinker's darn
for convention, and they would
doubtless be hard to convince that
mores should be changing things.
Also, there are some who are
not fully pleased by the lower
limbs with which Nature has en­dowed
them, and they are sure to
put a damper on the movement.
These notwithstanding, there
are a few brave individuals, in
addition to Wellington, who are
enthusiastically crusading for
general adoption of The Plan.
They include Neil O. Davis, fear­less
editor of the Lee County
Bulletin, and Tom Duke, well-knowh
writer for The Auburn
Plainsman. There two leaders are
now in the midst of forming ah
"Off-With-The-Pants" Club and
invite any interested to contact
them.
However, in Mr. Davis' own
words, he now "must don necktie
and coat and be off to dinner,"
so it may be hard to catch him.

This publication, which tries to
avoid rut-traveling as much as
possible, is constantly on the look­out
for means of being progres­sive
and adding variety. We have
recently come up with a minor
change which will heretofore be'
followed.
Since the classroom building,
new, has never been officially
named and we are informed that
no such step is anticipated at any
early date, this paper will take it
upon itself to name and rename
it ah effort to keep it appropriate.
With the publication of the £
next issue, the new classroom I
building Will be referred to as s
the "not-so-new" building, and
after that will be changed spas­modically
to the "middle'-aged"
building, the "old" building, and
if not named for some time to
come, possibly the "decrepit"
building.

If last week's column fell a little
flat along the last paragraph,
prithee allow an explanation. In
relating prize newspaper blun­ders
pt the past, I miscued royal­ly.
The factory which claimed to

(Continued on page 6)
During the past month President
Truman and other Democratic po­litical
chieftains have been prac­ticing
hypocrisy and political.ho-«,
cuspoeus"4h !a mariner h'slrdlyr#a-<
ralleled by any past administra­tion.
Although unable to cUrb the
Southern filibuster oh the contro­versial
Federal Employment Prac­tices
Commission, H.S.T. a hd
Company have taken full advan­tage
of the vote-getting effect of
the measure.
Democratic leaders in general
and President Trumah in parti­cular
are more concerned with
getting the bloc vote of the Ne­groes
and the liberal element of
the population than with design­ing
a program which will actually
prove beneficial 'in the long run.
Truly, the FEPC Bill is morally
laudable in its avowed attempt to
do away with job discrimination
because of race, color or creed. But
the bill itself and the method by
which it would attain its end are
Unjustifiable. Any mdve to force
an employer to hire against his
will would prove abortive.
Under our democratic system,
Which FEPC leaders maintain they
are Upholding in their support Of
the bill, if ah employer risks his
mohey in an enterprise, he should
have the right to hire whom he
pleases. For" this reasoh alone the
FEPC plaft is undemocratic in sub
stahee. Such a plan would ortiy
end in Wide-spread flaunting of
the law.
Employers would always be un­able
to bypass the measure. To eh-fdrce
such a law, with the motives
by Which it is being advocated,
would be very difficult.
Just like a majority of Mr. Tru­man's
civil rights and so-called
"Welfare state" programs, the
FEPC is merely a vote-getting
measure. The measures of the Fair
Deal are all programs which Will
appeal to the masses and as a re­sult
are good political tools.
Instead of catering to the Negro
vote with a program that is based
purely on political hyprocrisy, Mr.
Truman should direct his efforts
and the taxpayers' money towards
.a more.. honest, I beneficial ahd
Workable plan; Negroes should
not be made mere political foot­balls
by Mr. Truman and his
unsound program. .
One of the main ideas behind
Truman's FEPC is the promise
that it will break down segrega­tion.
However, if the president
really believes in civil rights he
should make plans for a long range
program that will pay off in the
future. Such ah absurd attempt
to ram a political hyprocrisy down
the people's throats would ohly
cause resentment ahd confusion.
I feel that the solution is to
break down the barrier at the very
base, rather than hurdling it and
leaving a false structure to be un­dermined
later. The money that
would be wasted in trying to en­force
such a socialistic move could
be diverted towards the education
of the Negro. No group of peopie
in America needs education more
desperately than does the Negro.
Through the proper education
the Negro as a citizen will be able
to obtain that which is his right.
The whites should be properly
educated in order to create ah
eqUal educational level for both
races. There are thousands of Ne­groes
who do not reach the se­venth
or eighth grade and many
others who don't even reach that
rank in education.
If Truman really wishes civil
rights, he should start a plan
which will establish schools and
other educational facilities so that
members of both races can learn
to become equally responsible
citizens in this society. As Prof.
O. T. Ivey reminded me after last
week's column on the elimination
of prejudice, a workable solution
to any problem of human Or civil
rights must be found through the
broad and sound field of educa^-
tion.

"Snails harbor tiny larvae
Which causes a disease said to be
very destructive to man."
This awe-awakening sentence
was squeezed in nonchalantly at
the bottom of the seventh page of
a large daily newspaper. The edi­tor,
or whoever was responsible,
evidently failed to realize the im­portance
of such a timely hunk of
news.
I too failed to realize the im­portance
which I felt sure should
be there, so I looked further into
the matter. Three months of tire­less
and daring research brought
.forth the following facts, depress­ing
though they may be:
It is actually quite fashionable
(in the opinions of other snails)
for a snail to carry a disease, al­though
a person would never
think it to look at one of the heli­cal
little creatures. The snail
(also called by some "gostdopod
mollusk" or "limnaea," either of
which is entirely correct) just
hobbles along on his one foot,
looking about as harmless as a
plate of cold-rice pudding. But
hidden deep within the shell lie
tiny flukes, the Schostosoma Cer-cariae,
and these little Latin tre-matodes
are the cause of all the
trouble.
While the snail is gastropodihg
around in a pond, some of these
fiukes had just as soon as not fall
off into the water. Then if you
go wading in that pond, you've
just about pretty near alrhdst for
sure had it; because if a Schisto-mam
cercaria latches onto you,
you stand a fine chance of com­ing
down with the disease spec­tacularly
called "bilharziasis".
Thorough investigation of the
situation has failed to make clear
to me just what bilharziasis is or
does, but it must be terrible. It
has afflicted whole mobs of peo­ple
working in the rice paddies of
the Middle ahd Far East, ahd
there aren't mahy diseases which
seem potent enough to cause ahy
concern at all amohg those har­dy
folks.
With all this dispiriting infor­mation,
however, comes-one lit­tle
wriggle of hope; to Wit, Drake
Infirmary hasn't been called upon
to treat a single case of bilhar­ziasis
it at least six years. Maybe
we can avoid an epidemic in Au­burn,
if everyone will be care­ful
to stay away frbm snails.

These academic quarters fly
away almost as quickly as do the
quarters in my pocket; in 10 days
another one will be whizzing
around the corner; major finals
bbgin in about a week, and this
is the last edition of The Plains­man
for the spring quarter.
It'll be fine to take a temporary
rest from school; if summer were­n't
stuck "in there somewhere,
spring and autumn would come
a little too close together to suit
me. Nevertheless, I believe Aub­urn
life can't be beat; and much
of the good times I've had here
stems directly from work on The
P'Man.
This issue marks the last time
I'll have the privilege of working
under "Editor Ed" Crawford, who
in my opinion is unsurpassed as
a competent, conscientous journa­list
and leader. To him, to the
other members of the staff, to the
readers of this column, and in
fact to anyone who has ever
read "More and More" as much
as one time, I say, "Thanks right
and left—I've enjoyed it."
While trying to decide what to
write for this last issue of the
quarter, I have suddenly realized
that its t h e l a s t column I'll ever
write for The Plainsman. For this
reason, I'd like to ramble a bit
(as if that were anything new).
Knowing full well that the job
Of editor will keep me plenty
busy next year and also knowing
that there are a number of po­tentially
good columnists on the
staff, I'm gonna pass this space
on, much as I hate to.
It's funny how these things
grow oh one but despite a weekiy
cussing of the
Column deadline
and columns in
g e n e r a l , we
wouldn't take
anything for
the o p p o r t u ­nity.
A column
kinda becomes
"your baby"
(especially af­ter
you'vie Writ­ten
it for nine
months) and as
the criticism and compliments
fall on one, he takes the old pile
of lead to his heart.
That's what this dadgummed
galley of type has meant to me
this year and I have thoroughly
enjoyed it. I tiled to entertain
on occasion ahd then tried to
surreptitiously slip in a little
editorial comment when I thought
it pertinent. Whether I was even
mildly' effective iri either en­deavor
is, of course, decided by
Greenhill
the readers but, to paraphrase
Coach Williamson, I went out and
wrote my column and at least I
had fun doih' It. ' '' '''
In any task, the environment
and co-workers go a long way
toward deciding whether one en­joys
what he is doing and I'd just
like to say that no one could
have asked for a better editor to
work under. Next year, we'll
really have to put out to keep
from suffering a bad comparison
to this year's Plainsman. Thank
gosh Ed will still be involved in
campus affairs even though he
won't be actively connected with
publications. The Executive Cabi­net's
gain is our loss.
Again, thank gosh that Gra­ham
McTeer, whose wit and wis­dom
contributed a lot to the con­geniality
of the staff this year,
will be back again at his old
stand as Managing Editor. Also,
I'm glad to report that sensible
young Tom Cannon, "Riddles"
Moore, "Chartreuse" Stephenson,
and "Laughing Boy" Everett will
be around. Putting out a Plains­man
without them would be like
putting on trousers without any
belt—it just wouldn't hold up!
In conclusion, as I put the
quietus oh this column ahd begin
to worry about next year's edi­torials,
I want to thank everyone
who Has Helped me along with a
pat oh the back, a vote, or some
much needed constructive criti­cism.

been the best year I've ever

A Union Building is now within
the,, grasp of the Auburn,gtuctent -,.
body.rThrough'the-efforts of a-'
Cabinet committee, this dream
that has long been held by Aub­urn
men and women has progres­sed
almost to the point of reality.
For the past year, the commit­tee
has studied
plans of union
buildings, made
surveys of oth­er
colleges, ob­tained
m e m-ber'ship
in the
American As-s
o c i a t i on
of C o l l e ge
U n i o n s and
analyzed finan-
C i.a 1 schemes.
T h r o u g h
the cooperation of administrative
officials in the institution, a sum
of $400,000 cah be made avail­able
for use in the construction
of a Union.
With this fund as security, it
will be possible to borrow ehoUgh
additional mohey to construct a
million dollar Union Building.
The major problem at present is
finding a way to amortize the
bonds that can be issued against
this collateral.
Last week the Student Execu­tive
Cabinet offered a solution to
this problem. The Cabinet voted
to hold a referendum on the ques­tion
of raising the student activi­ty
fee. If the student body ap­proves,
the fee could be raised $2
a quarter for the purpose of amor­tizing
these bonds.
It is not necessary to discuss
here the reasons for our need of
a union building. Every day we
must deal with some phase of
student life that could be handled
better through the Union. Build­ing
a wide variety of services
ranging from places for banquets
and meetings to a bookstore
would be provided in the build­ing.
The state legislature has con­tended
that the college needs
other things more badly than it
needs a Union. As long as we do
hot have sufficient classroom and
dormitory space we cannot expect
money from that source in the
near future.
The fund that is now available
was an unexpected contribution.
Through the use of this money,
it will probably be possible to
begin work oh the building this
year. If the union building pro­ject
is not carried through, this
fund will be used for other pur­poses
on campus. In fact, much of
it was originally earmarked for
other things, but it was felt that
these projects could be incorpor­ated
in the union.
Four hundred thousand dol­lars
is a lot of money. Since we
will probably never get this op­portunity
again, it Would be un­forgivable
for us not to take\ ad­vantage
of it. *•
Letter To Editor
Dear Editor:
For months The Plainsman has
been supporting the plan for the
proposed construction of a student
union building on thfc campus.
It seems that almost everyone rea­lizes
the need for such a building,
and nearly all students with whom
I have spoken of the matter seem
td favor the proposition.
Until now, most of the plan­ning
for the structure has been in
the form of talk. While this may
be necessary to the perfecting of
the idea, idle talk cannot erect a
studeht union building.
Now we, the student body, have
the opportunity to express our ap­proval
of the proposal through
action instead of talk. Oh Thurs­day,
May 25, Auburn students will
vote on the question of raising the
student activities fee in order to
provide funds sufficient for con­struction.
The addition to the "ac"
fee, if the vote carries, will be
fixed at a maximum of $2 per
quarter. This, I think, will not be
too much to ask of any student, in
view of the importance of the Con­sideration.
Also, $400,000 is guaranteed by
the college, the alumni associaton,
and the Bradley Foundation for
support of the money-raising cam-'
palgti. I feel that the studehts of
API are passing over ah Unparal­leled
opportunity if they ignore
these donations.
If we need the student union
building—and it has been demon­strated
time after time that we
do—the voting of "yes" ih Thurs­day's
election Will be a major step
toward achieving our goal — a
greater Auburn.
& < -•

Proposed Union Building
Would Aid All Students
By Jim Everett
Auburn students go to the polls tomorrow to vote on a
proposed increase in the student activities fee to make pos­sible
the construction of a Union Building on the campus.
The question is "That the student activities fee be increas­ed
a maximum of $2 for the purpose of constructing a Union
Building. This increase shall not
become effective earlier than two
years before construction is be­gun
on the building, and the in­crease
in the fee shall be removed
when the building is paid for." It
is the result of months of work
and planning by student'arid ad­ministrative
eohimittees.
Balloting will begin at 8 a.m. arid
continue until 4:3d p.m. with polls'
located at Vet Hill, Ag Hill, Main
Gate and Ramsay Engineering
Building.
According to Gilmer Black­burn,
chairman of the! -Union
Building Committee, the result
of the vote will decide the fate
of such a building When It is
presented to the Board of Trus­tees.
If the issue passes, it is
probable that $400,000 Will be
available.
First Plans
The first report on the possibili­ties
of a Union Building on the
campus was compiled by the Un­ion
Building Committee of the
Student Executive Cabinet This
committee, after liiUdh investiga­tion
including ejUestiOhaifes tti
other colleges, submitted the fe-port
to the Cabinet and to the
Administration.
Being met favorably by the ad^
ministration, a committee com­posed
of Mr. Travis Ingram, Mr.
Sam Brewster, Mt. T. C. Clark,
and Mr. William McGtehee was
appointed by President Draughon
to cooperate with the student
committee in drawing up a pos­sible
plan.
With the announcement that
$400,000 could be made available
toward construction of the mil­lion
dollar buildiHgi the Cabi­net
called a referendum to de­termine
whether the remaining
$600,009 could be raised through
a bond issue supported by an
increase in student activities
fee.
If the proposal is approved, stat­ed
Blackburn, the plans Will go to
Dr. Draughon for presentation to
the Board of Trustees.
Unioh Building Need
In past issues of The Plainsman
the need for a Union Building was
one of the many aspects discussed.
The need for the structure was
presented in the report Which
stated:
"The prodigious growth of Au­burn
has brought about an in­creasing
need for a Unioh Build­ing.
Each successive increase in
enrollment has brought With it
a corresponding increase in the de­mand
for facilities that could be
provided by a Union Building. This
need is felt by every element on
the campus.
"The students, especially, suf­fer
front the lack of a Union
Building since at the present
time there are no adequate
lounging facilities available on
the campus, Her any game
rooms or reading lounges, our
present snack bar and cafeteria
are inadequate to meet the
needs Of an increased enroll­ment,
and the college-operated
book store is not large enough to
provide efficient service to the
students. In addition, till types
of student activities suffer from
a lack of suitable space.
'"THe administration has long
experience difficulty in providing
housing and adequate space for
meetings for the various groups
that visit the Auburn campus each
year, such as college debate teams,-
state-wide gatherings of profes­sional
organizations, and high
school groups."
In concluding the need for a
Union Building, the report pointed
out that Auburn is one of the few
large universities which does not
have such a building.
Proposed Plans
The proposed million dollar
structure, Which has as its tena-tive
site the area east of the new
Classroom Building and Includ­ing
Alumni Gym, wili Contain
many student services and faci­lities
for recreation. Enclosing a
2oo'x2oo' space, the building
would contain a ballrbbm ap­proximately
the size Of the stu­dent
activities building.
_„_One of the service features Sug­gested
in the report, is the 80-by-
60 bookstore in the basement. Op­erated
by the college, the book­store
would function oh a mini­mum
profit basis and would be
mote convenient to students than
is the present set-Up.
Another facility for students to
be included in the building would
be a snack bar—providing short
orders and fountain service. The
snack bat Will operate as & self-service
unit and employ student
labor. Additional service units
PROPOSED PLANS FOR ThE UNION BUILDING at Auburn are shown above. Auburn students will vote on the question of whether Or not to raise the student
activity fee in order to provide a fund for the Union Building in the election tomorrow.
Under the present plans $400,000 is available for constructing the building, which will cost over $1,000,000. The building will house a book exchange, Shack bar, cafeteria,
barber shop, bowling alley, student government offices, alumni offices and other vitally important departments.
ing the raising of the student
activities fee, by the committee.
"If the student approval en the
m a t t e r is obtained," stated
Blackburn, "It is probable that

guest rooms.
for many years Students have
purchased their gifts from book-
Stores. By moving the gift shop
to the Center, it is believed that
a large volume of •gifts will be
sold. The gift shop will handle
drug sundries, costume jewelry,

Why we need a union building-
Lack of recreational facilities for the Student Body.
Lack of service facilities for an increased enroll­ment.
Lack of a focal point for student activities.
The union building will contain -
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES such as swimming
pool, ball room, bowling alleys, game rooms, card
rooms, reading rooms, and lounges.
SERVICE FACILITIES such as book exchange, ban­quet
hall, conference rooms, centralized cafeteria,
snack bar, barber shop, beauty parlors.

Hannum Predicts
Near Shortage
Of Engineers
Dean J. E. Hannum, of the
School of Engineering at Auburn,
predicts a shortage instead of a
surplus of engineers by 1953 un­less
more high school graduates
enter the field when they start
college.
Quoting Dean Thorndike Sav-ille,
of the School of Engineering
at New York University, and
president of the American So­ciety
for Engineering Education,
Auburn's Dean Hannum said:
"During the past year and a half,
the public press has widely
heralded the statement that there
will be a serious over-supply of
egineering graduates. This infor­mation
has sifted into the high
schools and has had a seriously
retarding effect upon the engi­neering
enrollments."
, "Higher Education," a publi­cation
of the Federal Security
Agency, in a recent issue points
out the expanding opportunities for
engineering graduates. It indi­cates
the strong probability that
by the time present college fresh­men
and high school students
complete college courses employ­ment
prospects for engineering
graduates will be greatly im­proved,
and that if freshmen en­rollment
in engineering colleges
continue to decline there may ac­tually
be, more engineering jobs
than engineering graduates to fill
them.
The publication estimates that
from 1954-65 there will develop
a serious shortage of engineers
unless the ratio of freshmen engi­neers
to high school graduates is
increased.

Mosquito Breeding
Control Stressed
Bert Hill, mosquito and fly con­trol
director in Auburn, gave sev­eral
suggestions this week on con­trolling
mosquito breeding in Au­burn.
Hill stated that the city and
A.P.I, are jointly controlling mos­quito
breeding. Student coopera-
I tion in needed to wipe out 'back­yard'
mosquito breeding.
He continued, "Mosquitoes are
smart. They prefer hidden or
partly concealed standing water
in which to lay their eggs." The
Auburn director asked students
and townspeople to make an in­spection
of their premises to make
sure that they are not raising mos­quitoes
at home.
"Get rid of all standing water on
your premises. Remove or dump
tin cans, buckets, barrels, jars,
vases, old auto tires and any other
receptables that will hold water,"
Hill suggested.
"Kil mosquito larvae in water
that cannot be removed by cov­ering
the water with a light film
of kerosene, fuel oil, or fly spray,"
he continued.
Ad Libbing

the growth of the community was

was somehow omitted.
In conclusion of this, the last
effort of spring, 1950, I would like
to bid adieu and best of luck to
the bumper crop of graduates. I
hope none of you trip as you stroll
up to receive your sheepskin,
none of you soil your gown with

inspired to do something BIG by
the commencement address.
And -to you, Roomy, an especial­ly
fond farewell.

Tiger Trackmen Finish 3rd In SEC;
4 Men To Enter Atlanta Meet
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
On Birmingham's muddy Legion Field cinder path the
1950 SEC t r a c k and field championships were r u n off strictly
according to prediction. Alabama with 42V3 points, took first
place honors. The Tigers of L.S.U. w e r e close behind with 41
and Auburn's Tigers placed third with 38 markers.
For Auburn it was a case of ti __ , , , . , . . ,
vault. He broke by one-eight inch
the record set in 1939 by Wayne
Downey of Alabama.
Four Tigers will journey to At­lanta
this Saturday for the meet
between the SEC and the South­ern
Conference champs. For Au­burn
it will, be Whitey Overton,
Jimmy Walker, Jack DeMedicis
and Jimmy Mitchell.

all track and no field. The Plains­men
scored but four points in the
field while Auburn runners
placed in eight events.
Whitey Overton took individ­ual
high-point honors for the
meet with firsts in the mile and
two-mile runs plus % point for
his part in the mile relay for a
total of 10%. Tulane's Paul Bienz
and 'Bama's Carl Shield each
tallied ten.
It was Alabama's first SEC
meet win and it was achieved
without a single senior's figur­ing
in the scoring. Coach Tom
Lieb's sophomores thus have
announced their domination of
track for the coming seasons.
For the second straight year
Whitey Overton won both the
mile and two two-mile runs to
earn the distinction as the only
SEC contestant ever to do so on
the same day. Pre-meet talk en­visioned
* a close race between
Overton, Florida's Hugo Nutini,
and Tennessee's Tom Scott, with
the possibility of broken records
for the distance runs.
The weather effectively block­ed
record-breaking times, for the
track was muddy and by Satur­day's
events was well chewed-up
from Friday's running. Whitey
bested Scott by some 15 yards
with a time of 4:20.5 in the mile.
Nutini was unable to run, having
pulled a leg muscle Friday after­noon.
In the two-mile run, which took
place an hour and a half after the
mile event, Whitey completed the
eight-lap grind in 9:51.7 to take
the SEC two-mile title for the
fourth consecutive year. Jerry
Direaux, of Alabama, gave Over­ton
a good race finishing but 12
yards behind the Auburn cham­pion.
Jack DeMedicis took the high
hurdles in style with the time of
14.7 and placed second to 'Bama's,
Marv Cichowski in the lows.
Jimmy Walker finished . behind
Bienz in the 100-yard dash. Bienz
copped first-place honors for the
third straight year in the dash
with a time of 9.8 seconds.
Dickie Flournoy was dethroned
as the SEC 880-yard champion
by Billyy Geary of Tulane, who
ran a 1:55.9 half-mile. Fourhoy
placed third. Jimmy Mitchell
placed fourth.
Jim Stookey placed fourth in
the broad jump and Allan Parks
took fourth in the pole vault.
Parks jumped 12 feet, 8 inches—
the best jump of his career—in
taking fourth. Marvin Korik,
Tennessee, broke the only meet
record with a 13 feet, 67/s inch
Tigers End Season
With 7-5 Record;
Third In Division
By Bill McArdle
After stumbling around in s eo
ond division for most of the sea­son,
Coach Johnny Williamson's
Auburn baseball team came roar­ing
back with four consecutive
wins over the Vanderbilt Com­modores
to move into third place
in the Eastern Division of the
S.E.C. The Tigers ended the sea­son
with a division record of 7
wins and 5 losses and had an
over-all season record of 11 wins
and 14 losses.
The Tigers boasted four .300
hitters, each of whom will return
for the 1951 season. Center field­er
Dan Gilmore led the batting
attack with a .337 average. Fol­lowing
were third-baseman Ray
Dean, .336, second-baseman Dick
Webb, .310, and pitcher-first
baseman Gene Hoehle, .301.
Catcher Charlie Gilbert and ut­ility
man Bill Logan were the
only Auburn home run hitters.
Each man had one and got his
homer in the final series against
Vandy here the past week end.

The Tiger's Claws Sharpened
The 1949-50 sports scene, from the Auburn viewpoint, may
well go down in the books as one of the greatest. Auburn teams
failed to dominate any sport or shatter any records, but Tiger
teams performed in all sports the brand of spirit and sportsman­ship
that brings acclaim regardless of score.
The top thrills? They are many. Football admittedly raised
the curtain for the year in a dismal way—a 7-40 loss to Ole Miss.
But, after the opener, it-was a swift, exciting Tiger that pranced
upon SEC gridirons. The ten-minute, 21-point revolt staged by a
ferocious Tiger against Georgia Tech left some 35,000 fans dazzled
in early October. Georgia whirled back to tie Auburn 20-20 in
Columbus—more hectic football—then Clemson battled a sluggish
Tiger to a 20-20 draw.
But for thrill No. 1—it just couldn't have been equaled in
any other fashion, and Auburn men and women will never forget
that cloudy December afternoon at Birmingham's Legion field.
Football, then, provided a thrill-packed fall quarter. And one of
the greatest of Auburn grid stars finished his college career. Travis
Tidwell left ho doubts as to his qualifications for the all-time
Auburn grid team. Those who saw him play last fall will never
forget him. i
There were thrills in basketball, too. A team that Was given
but scant attention in pre-season pickings came up with a third-place
showing. The Sports Arena never wanted for spectators
when Coach Joel Eaves' cagers played. The job turned in by
Coach Eaves and his team was superb.
We watched another Auburn great leave his mark for the fu­ture.
Whitey Overton ran the mile in 4:16^5 to set the all-time
Auburn mile record. This was Whitey's last season with Coach
Wilbur Hutsell's thinclads and he finished it wearing nearly every
track honor obtainable in the SEC.
Overton and Tidwell drew national acclaim this year. Their
exploits meant a great deal to Auburn. It was a privilege and a
thrill to write of their achievements.
And let's not overlook the physical betterment of athletics at
Auburn. This year saw the dedication of the new Cliff Hare
Stadium with its 22,500 seating capacity, thereby enabling big-time
football to come to the campus. Too, a hew baseball diamond
and 14 new tennis courts were placed in service this year.
So it was a successful season, and a preview of better things
to come. Credit is due to many: the athletic planners and the
finance handlers; Coach Earl Brown and his staff; Coach Eaves,
Coach Hutsell, Coach Williamson and Coach Urhbach; Jimmy Cole­man,
who, in his first year as sports publicity director turned in a
swell job; the participants in every sport, oh whose shoulders rests

Price Cut Welcomed
The release this week of a price list for 1950 football tickets by
the Auburn athletic office is welcomed news to say the least. In com­parison
with reserved seat prices in effect last year, those for the
coming season indicate that the spectators pocketbook is ih for a
deserved break. Not a revolutionary one, biie nevertheless, enough
to indicate that the business end' | f college athletics is showing some
consideration for the paying public.. |
The opening game with Wofford carries a price tag of $2.50 as
compared with the $4.20 ducat for last September's opener with Mis-
Hill, Finlayson Handcuff Commodores;
Tigers Win Two More From Vandy
By Bill McArdle
George Hill and Hubert Finlayson allowed the Vanderbilt
Commodores only 10 hits in two games as they pitched Au­b
u r n to 9-4 ahd 12-4wins h e r e Friday and Saturday. The Tig-ersg
jumped on two Vandy h u r l e r s for 24 h i t s in coasting to
their t e n t h and eleventh wins of the year.
Charlie Gilbert slammed the
first Tiger four-bagger of the sea­son
in Friday's rain-shortened
cohtest. The . ball traveled 380
feet, over the right-center field
fence. Bill Logan duplicated the
"Red Head's" feat Saturday When
he blasted a round-tripper over
the fight field wall. Logan col­lected
4 hits in 4 trips to the plate
and drove in 4 of Auburn's runs.
Saturday, Ray Dean supple­mented
Logan's sizzling perfor­mance
with three hits in five
times at bat. Dan Gilmore, Julian
Mock and Dick Webb each had
two hits.
Diamond Dust—The Auburn in­field,
whose batting average was
over .300 this year, will be intact
for the 1951 season. The sopho­more-
studded infield started slow
but was as good as any at the
season's end. . . Bill Letchworth
has the cast off the foot that he
broke in the middle of the season
and is trying to get in some
throwing for the summer semi-pro
season. Letchworth has an­other
year'of eligibility. . . . Au­burn's
division record was better
this year than last. In '49 the
Tigers fell below the .500 aver­age.
. . . In the same light, Au­burn
had four .300 hitters this
year. Last year third baseman
Emmett McAfee was the only .300
man and he was barely over the
mark.
Catcher Charlie Gilbert, right
fielder Joe Sterling, pitcher Hu­bert
Finlayson and utility man
Bill Fleming have played their
last baseball game for A.P.I. . . .
Gilbert, Sterling and Finlayson
are the last of the players who
might be classed in the "Nixon
Era." Gilbert, doubtlessly one of
the conference's best receivers,
caught one of Nixon's no-hitters
his first'year in college baseball.
. . . In recognition of a successful
season, the Auburn merchants
headed by Chief Shine, will fete
the Auburn diamondmen to a
banquet Thursday n i g h t . . . .
Coach Williamson will announce
the letter earners next week.
