season. -
After their annual night battle
with the potent Nashville eleven,
..the Bengals will focus their eyes
on Mississippi S t a t e , Georgia,
Clemson and A l a b a m a . They
tangle with Mississippi State in
Birmingham on November 6, tie
up with Georgia's Bulldogs in Co­lumbus
on November 13, square
off with Clemson in an outstandr
ing inter-conference, bout in Mo­bile
on November 27, Thanksgiv­ing
Day week-end, and lower the
curtain on their current card
against Alabama in Birmingham
on December 4. The Alabama en­counter
will be the first meeting
on the gridiron between the two
clubs since their memorable 6-6
draw in 1907.
In moving into the final half of
their first campaign under Earl
Brown, who has done a remark­able
job at the Plains in organiz­ing
his grid -forces into an ag­gressive
and spirited squad which
is battling as hard at the closing
whistle as at the first, the Tigers
will be showing in the Cradle of
the Confederacy for the second
time this year. They opened their
'48 slate, with a 20-14 triumph
over f o r m i d a b l e Mississippi
Southern, and they only hope
their second appearance there will
be as successful. ' t. : '
Against Mississippi Southern,
Coach Brown displayed a well-coached
and hard-fighting outfit
arid one that proved that it has
come-back ability. Most of the
leaders in Auburn's win over the
Mississippians will be counted up­on
as kingpins against Vandy, but
some r a p i d l y advancing new­comers
also will be ready for
combat service.
As Skipper Brown passes the
halfway mark for 1948, he hopes
that Dame Jinx will be better to
him in the November and De­cember
tilts. For not a single fra­cas
this season has he been able
to field Auburn's top combination
because of one or more regulars
being out with wounds. His pres­ent
cripples are Center Tom Mc-
Kinney, Ends Fred Duart and
Virgil Willett, G u a r d Chester
Cline, and B a c k s Dickie, and
Brownie Flourjioy, brothers from
Birmingham. He is not sure of
their status for Vanderbilt.
With the cripple list mounting
almost daily, the Auburn mentor
will not be able to decide on his
starting lineup Ibr Vandy until
almost game time Friday night.
But the openers likely will be
Erskine Russell and Bill Wad-dail,
ends; Max Autrey and Alter­nate-
Captain John A-lcock, tac­kles;
Bob Cannon and Ray Moore,
guards; Hal Herring, center; Jim
McDaniel or Charlie Lansner,
quarterback; Ray Peifrey, Travis
Tid-'vell or Jocko Norton and
Johnny Wallis or Bobby Gilliam,
hilfbacks, and Captain Russell
Inman, fullback.

of Christians and Jews and has
for its purpose "to reduce preju­dice
among and against the Pro­testants,
Catholics, and Jews by

Rhode's Scholarship
Applications Open
The Rhode's Scholarship Com­mittee
composed of Dean Russell
F. Poor, Professor Terrill D.
Stevens, and Registrar Charles W.
Edwards are accepting applica­tions
this week only for the
1948 Rhodes' Scholarship ap­pointments
to Oxford University
in England.
All students interested in ap­plying
should go by Dean Poor's
office in 103 Textile Building.
The scholarship is worth 400
pounds sterling which is com­parable
to $1600 to $1800 a year.
The Auburn Tigers return to the scene of their first and
only victory of the season Friday night when they tackle the
strong Vanderbilt Commodores at Cramton Bowl, Mont­gomery.
A capacity crowd is expected to witness the renewal
of one of the oldest grid rivalries in the South, dating back
to 1893.
The Tigers, in their habitual
role of underdogs, will face one
of the strongest teams in ther
Southeastern Conference in the
Vandy eleven. In pre-season pre­dictions
the Commodores were
rated behind Georgia Tech as the
team to bsat in the SEC, but a
back-breaing early season sche­dule
nearly spelled doom for
Coach Red Sanders' lads.
After losing the opener to
Georgia Tech 13-0, tieing Alabama
14-14, and falling to Ole Miss,
20-7, the Commodores finally
came into their own by trouncing
Kentucky, 26-7. In this battle with
the Wildcats, the Vandymen dis­played
a brand of football that
would beat any teaih in the con­ference.
The Tigers will once again go
into an important gatpe severely
handicapped by the loss of seve­ral
regulars due to injuries. Ex­pecting
more than a little diffi­culty
penetrating the mighty
Vandy line, Coach Earl Brown's
charges are expected to unleash
an aerial assault in an attempt to
give the Tigers first win over
Vanderbilt since 1925.
Coach "Brown has had Travis
Tidwell and Captain Russell In-man
limbering up their passing
arms, and with targets like Rus­sell,
Waddail, Pyburn, and Duart
to throw at, these Tigers are cap­able
of surprising any team.
Auburn and Vanderbilt first
met on the gridiron back in 1893,
and the Tigers came out on top
in that initial encounter 30-10.
Any further study of the meet­ings
between the two teams is
enough to make ' even the most
rabid Auburn rooter wince.
In the 22 games, the Plains'men
have managed to win only six,
while losing 15, and deadlocking
one. Auburn's last victory over
the Commodores was 23 years
ago, in 1925, and that by the
scant margin of one point, 10-9.
All the games haven't been that
close. In the 22 games played,
Vandy has averaged over 18
points per game against a Tigers-average
of 8. With such a record
as this staring them in the face,
the Auburn team needs no pep
talk to arouse it into turning on
one of their top performances of
the 1948 campaign. -

3—THE PLAINSMAN
Scandinavia, Benelux, and France
Form A Newsworthy Vacation Tour
By Bruce Greenhill
Sounding almost like a Fitzpatrick travelogue, Miss
Janice Turnipseed, foreign language department, described
her adventures on a recent trip through Europe to a Plains­man
reporter as a "an interesting view of conditions in post­war
Europe."
Traveling with her mother, Miss Turnipseed sailed from
New York the first week in June
on the "Washington", bound for
England. She spent two weeks in
Britain renewing old acquaint­ances
and "doing the town". She
then saile*d to France where she
spent some time with her many
triends whom she knew during
her college days there.
On leaving France Miss Tur­nipseed
motored through Hol­land,
Belgium, and Luxembourg
before entering the British Zone
of Occupied Germany. She gained
much first-hand knowledge of
the condition of the German peo­ple
under the Allied rule while
she was in Germany.
Her next stop after Germany
was Denmark where she spent a
short while. She spent most of the
month of July in the Scanda-navian
countries of Sweden and
Norway. After an almost two-month
stay in Europe she set
sail for the United States and re­turned
to her home in Union
Springs.
Miss Turnipseed saw quite a
bit of destruction d u r i n g her
travels but the most terrible in
her estimation, was the shambles
of the old part of London which
is nearly totally destroyed. Also,
the French city of Tours, where
she lived during part of her col­lege
time in France, was hard hit.
• Miss Turnipseed was especially
distressed over the destruction of
the heart of the city of Tours
which had no strategic value
and possessed no military instal­lations.
The story, according to
the inhabitants, is that the allied
planes, which did the damage
were aiming for the /railroad
yards and released their bombs
prematurely, thus showering de­struction
in the center Of the
city.
"Germany," she said, "is in
frightful condition." All the cities
that she knew before the war
—Bremen, Hamburg, and Kiel
—are almost half destroyed' but'
are all starting to build up their
former shipping trade. In each of;
these towns there were ships,
mostly freighters, in the harbors.
Her experiences while in Ger­many
are worthy of mention be­cause
of their insight into the
German problem. "The German
people are in a starving condi­tion,"
she said. When she and her
traveling companions stopped to
eat their lunch (wliich they had
packed themselves since tourists
are not allowed to spend money
in the country), small children
would pop up from nowhere to

Of Opportunities
Offered In South.
Miss Turnipseed
beg • for the least little crumb.
Despite this, she said that the
morale in Germany is high and
that they are producing more
and more as time goes by. How­ever,
quite a bit of their prod­ucts
are being shipped out, os­tensibly
to England, and not all
of their production is being saved
for home production.
An interesting note on her trip
was that in Denmark, the dairy­ing
center of the world, she was
unable to obtain butter in any
large quantity. Her explanation
for this was that they are ex­porting
everything they possibly
can and their dairy products are
their most marketable product.
Sweden, one of the few coun­tries
Miss Turnipseed visited that
she hadn't seen before, impressed
her as being at its peak economi­cally.
There was an abundance
of money and new cars seemed
to be the rule, not the exception.
She saw many new American
models but there-were even more
of the Swedish make cars..' The
country appeared to be flooded
with these autos.
The food everywhere in Eu­rope
was not too plentiful nor
too tasteful to her although to get
hot food after nine o'clock be­cause
there is an electricity short­age
abroad. In London only every
third street light was lit, even
on the foggiest of nights.
., The old French spirit of "love
of life" is even more in evidence
now than it was before the war
according to Miss Turnipseed.
She thinks that possibly the re­leasing
of the pre-war tension is
"The South has a great build­ing
opportunity in its grasp," Hal
S. Dumas, president of the South­ern
Bell Telephone and Tele­graph
Company, told Auburn en­gineering
students Friday night.
Here from Atlanta to address a
banquet honoring the 56 initiates
of Tau Beta Pi, engineering hon­orary
fraternity, Mr. D u m as
urged the prospective engineers
to remain in the South after
graduation.
"Something is really happen­ing
here," he declared, "In my
own company it took us 50 years
to put out our first million tele­phones.
The second million re­quired
17 years, and our third
million has been reached in less
than three years."
j "The South has the opportuni­ty
to profit by the mistakes of
other sections of the country in
building a civilization which is
the fineSt man has ever put to­gether,"
Dumas said.
i A graduate of Auburn in 1911,
Mr. Dumas told the students that
Auburn has changed but that
there is still enough left to bring
a sharp pang of nostalgia.
"Auburn has a high standard
in the business world," he said.
"We in industry look for men
who are well-trained in funda­mentals
and not too trained in
specialties."
He warned however that the
man who is greatly sought in
business is the man who is not
only a great engineer, but the
man who can become ,an execu­tive.
He cited six major qualifi-a
great relief to the French
although they were hard hit by
the war. Now they are flocking
to the movies and the outdoor
cafes which characterized the
France, of Miss Turnipseed's pre­war
college days.
Her travels were made inter­esting
through the fact that she
had visited most of the places be­fore
the war and she was able to
observe the changes in them over
a decade of conflict. Before the
war Miss Turnipseed studied at
The Sorbonne and at the Univer­sity
of Poitiers. Although she
teaches foreign languages at Au­burn,
she was a student of- po­litical.
science and, international
law during her first European
stay. Miss Turnipseed's trip-was
one of great value to her both as
a teacher and as a student of
foreign affairs.

Classroom Supervision
The following list of qualities of a good
teacher has recently been developed and
announced by the National Commission
on Teacher Education and Professional
Standards of the National Education As­sociation:
1. Possess human qualities—sympathetic
understanding for all, fairness, patience,
humor, and a sense of justice. /
2. Have emotional stability and adjust­ment.
3. Possess outstanding native ability to­gether
with adequate professional train­ing
(five years suggested as minimum)
and should like to teach.
4. Be intellectually alert and curious.
5. Have pleasing personality and ap­pearance—
enthusiasm, v i g o r , vitality,
poise, and charm.
6. Be able to develop love for the demo­cratic
way of life and be a full participat­ing
member of the democratic society.
7. Have the ability to think critically and
objectively.
8. Have a healthy physical and mental
outlook on life, with well-rounded inter­ests.
.
9. Keep up to date with modern edu­cational
trends and philosophies and par­ticipate
in professional affairs.
10. Understand the importance of de^
veloping world citizenship and better hu­man
relationships.
Instructors can and do often strive for
improvements in their methods of teachmg
here. However, the deans and heads of de­partments
could help a great deal, in rais­ing
standards of instruction at Auburn if
the opportunity was given to them.
Several of the leading schools in the
South and a great majority of those else­where
in the nation now have set rules
concerning classroom supervision by either
the deans or department heads.
If a system of compulsory classroom su­pervision
were to be installed here, teach­ers
could be told of needed corrections
in their methods and could correct their
errors. Good teachers could be commend­ed,
and poor could be released to make
room for better ones.
Auburn has lost a great many of its good
instructors in the past few years. Most of
those who have left have(done so because
of better salary offers. Some instructors
who have been here many years have
never been and never will be good teach­ers.
They are kept on the staff partly be­cause
of their length of service and partly
because they can be kept here at low sa­laries.
It is only good business that poor in­structors
should be released so that sa­laries
being paid to them may be put to
better use.
If Auburn is to grow as it should, com­pulsory
classroom supervision should be
installed. This has been tried at other
schools and has proven to be the best me­thod
of raising the standards of teaching.
It Can't Happen Here
"College Appreciation Day, sponsored
annually by the City of Troy (Alabama),
will be celebrated on Saturday, October 9
. . . The Troy Chamber of Commerce, un­der
the leadership of President Corley.
Chapman, will offer a first prize of $25 to
the .organization having the best float in
the opinion of the judges."
This statement is from the Troy State
Teachers College newspaper, The Tropoli-tan.
There's not much more we could add.
However, here is a suggestion: If the
city commission passed a small 'tax (say,
three cents) on all people owning dogs with
tales over1 six inches long, it could soon
clear enough to sponsor a like parade and a
first prize of at leas\ $25."
Plainsman Communistic?
It is the policy of the Plainsman to ac­cept
for publication letters that are signed
by the author. However, letters that are
written with the sole purpose of degrading
individuals will not be published.
A letter viciously and unwart-antedly
attacking three members of the Plainsman
staff and one individual who is not a
student was sent to the Plainsman for pub­lication
in this issue. If published in full,
this letter could harm the reputation of
one individual who doesn't even have
anything to do with the Plainsman's con­tents.
For this reason, the Plainsman
prints only those parts which have no
bearing on any specific individual.
The letter reads:
. "Dear Editor: I have read the Plainsman
for the past two years, especially the so-called
editorial page, which appears to be
a propaganda sheet for the communist
Daily Worker . . .
. . ..It is amusing how the above men­tioned
(three Plainsman staff members)
have tried to sum up the race problem and
states' rights movement in their sloppy
editorials. I have sat down and tried for
long periods to follow the sense of reason­ing
ofthese writers and I have come to-the
conclusion that they are a bunch of
punk kids who are trying to be sensational
by reproducing the writings of Ralph Mc-
Gill and the over-rated Ellis Arnall.
I would like for the Plainsman to an­swer
two questions for me in its next pub­lication.
(1) Why was there no notice in the
Plainsman to the student body that Con­gressman
George Andrews would appear in
Auburn to make a speech?
(2) Why was the repudiated Ellis
Arnall, of Georgia, given so much publi­city
before his appearance here? (If white
votes were eggs in the State of Georgia,
Ellis Arnall couldn't gather enough to set
a hen!)"
The Plainsman staff regrets that the
story which was written concerning the
appearance of Congresman Andrews on
our campus did not appear in the paper. It
was an oversight oh the part of the editor.
The present Plainsman editorial staff
was not in office at the time Mr. Arnall
made his appearance here. However, Mr.
Arnall was a scheduled speaker of _ the
college concert and lecture series and the
editor in office at that time gave several
inches of front page space to all the pro­grams
of that series.
The Plainsman invites the author to look
back through the files and find an editorial
that tends toward communism. The perso­nal
columns that appear on this page are i
the opinions of the authors and do not
necessarily form the editorial policy of the
newspaper.
This newspaper invites the author of
this letter to join the staff and try to help
save our student body from communism.

In the October 20 edition of the Alabama Journal, ser­ious-
faced columnist Allen Rankin wrote a glowing account
of the Men's Dormitory (New). He wrote of those staunch
men who live in the place: >
"Among the .phalanxes of serious-faced ex-GI's—most,
of whom have their own automobiles and many of whom have
wives and children to support—that race called 'Joe Col­lege'
is thinning out faster than the buffalo."
Scene: A crisp autumn morn­ing
at the Men's Dormitory
(New). Phalanx after phalanx of
serious-faced ex-GI's (most of
whom have abandoned their au­tomobiles)
are d r a w n up in
tightly packed rows. A serious-faced
ex-GI, phalange first class,
turns to his neighbor, a buck
phalange, and murmurs:
"I hear they caught ex-GI Dan­ny
Deever smiling the other day.
Guess you know what that means
—getting caught without a seri­ous
face."
More Student Gates
Several hundred Auburn students missed
part of the Mississippi Southern football
game in Montgomery a few weeks ago
because of poor planning. Persons in charge
of getting the students into Cramton
Bowl opened only one gate for 7600 student
ticket holders.
Auburn students will journey to Mont­gomery
to witness another game in Cram-ton
Bowl Friday. It is hoped that there
will be a better arrangement for getting
students into the bowl and seated than
there was at ,the Mississippi Southern
game. ,
The Plainsman suggests that there be
several gates through which students may
pass. If there is to be only one gate for
students, the gate should be opened at
least 90 minutes before the game starts.
"It's a hanging offense, ain't
it?"
Before the phalange first class
could answer, he is yelled at by
his Phalanx Commander.
"No" talking in the rank and
file back there. You're at atten­tion."

steps toward the tense phalanx.
• Chins draw in; stomachs retreat;
and thumbs seek out trouser
seams. He proceeds down the
ranks. Suddenly he stops before
a whey-faced, pimpled youth.
"Where's your serious fade?" he
roars.
"I don't have-'to keep a serious
face, sir, I am a non-ex-GI" comes
the reply.
Scowling, the serious-faced Old
Man (an ex-GI himself), paces on
down the phalanx. Satisfied, he
turns to address the serious-faced
ex-GIs rank:
"At ease,, men—but no smiling.
As you know, segregation is a
touchy subject these days. I hate
to bring it up myself. But the
Alabama Journal has mentioned
the racial situation here. Until
now we have not had to enforce
the Jim Crow laws which prevail
in the dormitory. In spite of the
fact that the Jooe College race is
thinning out faster than buffalo,
we still have a few left around
here. Now I have nothing against
the Joe Colleges as a race, mind
you—some of my best friends are
Joe College—but something's got
to be done So I am ordering all
Joe Colleges to the back of the
dorm."
Several callow, fuzzy-cheeked
phalanges with saddle shoes and
crew cuts shuffle out of the pha-r
lanx of serious-faced ex-GI's.
With downcast eyes they move
silently toward the back of the
dormitory where they are joined
by a herd of thinning bufalo.
The formation is dismissed.
Most of the serious-faced ex-GI's
climb into their automobiles.
Many go back to supporting their
wives and children.
Another day has begun at Men's
Dormitory (New).

proud and venerable War Eagle
being snatched even balder than
he presumably is by a bunch of
irate inmates of the new dormi­tory

across the floors with his bare
claws on. In fact, Mr. Rankin
mentioned everything but the
virgin soda bar in the basement
and the often-times monotonous
menu in the cafeteria.
BURP By Boyd Hinton
Tell em About It!
The students of Auburn seem to care
little that the city commission is busy
passing additional tax laws. If the students
continue to be complacent now, they will
have no right to gripe about higher prices
later.
The current proposed tax bill is one that
will cover all pool rooms, bowling alleys,
shooting galleries, and swimming pools
within jurisdiction of the city government.
One member of the city commission has
proposed that there be a ten percent tax
on the price charged for each of these
activities.
The student body as a whole evidently
favors the passing of this proposed tax bill.
At any' rate, students are helping the city
comissioners pass it by their silence. If
students wish to block passage of this bill,
they should write letters to Bill Ham, Gf.
H. Wright, or T. A. Sims. These men are
Auburn's city commisioners. They have
no way of knowing the opinions of students
unless students tell them.
Educators have long agreed
that the methods of quizzing now
in use are out of date and unfair
.in the fact that they do not give
a true representation of a stu­dent's
knowledge of a particular
subject.
The School of Education teach­es
these modern methods while
the college as a whole does no­thing
to correct the way it. has
been quizzing students for so long.
,. It is impossible to determine
how much a student knows about
a subject by ask-
S ing a few short
answer q u e s -
. tions. That is
•• only a game of
: memory feats.
So often, you
(go into a quiz
jwith no idea in
j the world what
lis going to be
asked or in what
manner. This
Hinton doesn't concern
subjcts of the scientific or mathe­matical
nature so much as it does
courses in which there is a large
amount of reading.
A quiz may cover as much as
200 pages and a student doesn't
know whether to memorize all
the terms in those pages, or to
remember the general significance
of the subject matter, or to try to
catch the trick statement that
might be asked in a true-false
type quiz.
While it is admitted that all the
quizzes cannot be of the essay
type, something could be done to
make the quizzes of the short
answer type a better gauge of a
person's knowledge. A large num­ber
of alternate questions might
be the answer to the problem.
It is possible for a person to
know a great deal about a sub­ject
and still be unable to ans­wer,
say seven questions out of
ten required for a bare pass. If
one set of ten questioons would
serve as a quiz why wouldn't
ten other questions serve just as1
well?
If the instructors were un­willing
to give such a quiz why
not make a note of the questions
a person misses on each quiz and
ask these questions again at a
later date. If instructors insist
on students' knowing certain
things, what difference could it
possibly make when they learn­ed
the definition of a certain
word, or the meaning of a certain
phrase?
These suggestions may noi be
the answer to the question but
they are, I think, worthy of con­sideration.
Something .should be
done, and done soon.

"Lots of those too. You'll have to
have more identification."
"Well, when he died he said
that if I ever was untrue to him
he'd turn over in his grave."
"Oh, you mean 'Pinwheel

A particular summer school
professor at Notre Dame is
known to usually flunk fifty per

of the summer quarter, the
professor asked one of his stu­dents

answered, "I thought it was a
very all-inclusive course. Every­thing
that was not covered dur­ing
the year was covered on the
final exam."
The Interfraternity Council at
Leigh University is investigating
the merits of a new idea for infor­mal
initiation of pledges. Under
this plan all fraternities would
participate in a university-wide
"Greek Week." The week would
begin on a Monday and all pled­ges
would be handled as a grjjup
until the weekend, when individ­ual
ceremonies would take place.
The idea originated at the Uni­versity
of Nevada where the plan
is being carried out.

At last! The problem of how

Cheering indeed is the news
that radio's give-away shows may
one day be outlawed from the air­ways.
There are plenty of people
whose idea of radio entertain­ment
is something more than a
half hour of questions and ans­wers
with a giggling master of
ceremonies lavishing money upon
some whining idiot who can
recall ,that it was Shakespeare
and not Edna Ferber who wrote
"Hamlet".
The Federal Communications
Commission is currently trying
to prove that programs of this
type are actually
lotteries and as
I such have iio
i business being
; broadcast. The
^programs are be-
| i n g vigorously
'. defended by a
| battery of well
p a i d lawyers
|who,in turn, are
out to prove
that . the pro­grams
are mere-of
skill and that
chance does not enter into them.
Well, not very much, anyway.
Recently during the hearings it
came out that the programs in­volving
the awarding of fabulous
sums of cash/in return for the
right name of a song, a voice, or
the sound of footsteps, have had
•more than a little trouble with
columnist Walter Winchell. Seems
that he has an uncanny knack
for finding out the right answer
ly
Forrester
game
while 135 million other Ameri­cans
are knocking themselves out
calling Aunt Min to see if she has
any idea who "Mr. Bong" is. What
makes it so rough is Winchell's
alacrity in making his findings
public.
As soon as "old scoop" gets the
low-down he rushes off to his
typewriter and sends the answer
to papers all over the country.
(His circulation is tremendous
and is exceeded only by his sal­ary.)
To top it off he is likely to
announce the answer over his
own coast to coast radio program.
This doesn't make the sponsors of
the give-away any too happy. It
usually puts a quick end to the
then current show and makes
necessary a new one. If you read
L'il Abner (and what red blooded
American boy doesn't?) you know
how hard up the idea men are
getting for questions.
If you don't believe that the
give-away programs are danger­ous
then listen to what happened
up in Ravenna, Ohio, last week.
Two farmers got into a quarrel
about whether to tune in to Jack
Benny or to some win-a-million
show. The Benny fan lost the
argument, but later he showed up
with a shot gun and ventilated
his quiz happy neighbor so
thoroughly that he died of it.
Maybe he had the right idea,
but went after the wrong man.
He should have drawn his bead
on the guy who started all the
nonsense. He should live so long,
long.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
We of the new men's dorm
would like to know who is paying
for the food that is consumed and
the flowers that are used at the
various meetings that are being
held here.
We think that it might be us as
the food gets worse and the help­ings
smaller after each meeting.
If we are paying for the food and
flowers, it is very unfair to us.
Give us an answer.
We would also like to know
why we have to put up with hav­ing
our furniture rearranged for
the meetings.
This is not my personal gripe
but a lot of the men who live here
think the same way. We know
that we have a fine dorm; but
there is such a thing as running
a good thing in the ground.
Respectfully,
(Name withheld upon request)
The food consumed and the de­corations
used at varipus meet­ings
held in the new men's dormi­tory
are paid for by the organiza­tion
holding these meetings, ac­cording

Dead End

Time Magazine reports that in
Shanghai, Miss Chang Yun-shiu
had the law on a Ma Shu-li after
he 1) protested his love for her
in a letter written in blood; 2)
threatened to kill her; 3) and
tried for the third time to climb
into her bedroom window (no
reason given). I guess she finally
caught on that "they were
through." * * *
The South, however, is even
harder to convince than was Miss
Chang. Many Southei-ners will
still vote Democratic despite the
fact that .1) the Democrats take
her for granted; 2) Truman en­dorsed
a Civil Rights program; 3)
the Democrats endorsed Truman;
4) and the Democratic platform
contains planks aimed directly at
the South which no Southerner in
his right mind could possibly fa­vor
(even if used to make a pad­dle
for Truman).

This brings to mind the joke
about Sam, a timid soul whose
partner had 1) swindled $10,000
from him; 2) gained control of the
business through fraud; 3) made
illicit love to Sam's wife; 4) and
finally eloped with her, taking all
of Sam's clothes to wear on the
"honeymoon." About a year after
the elopement, Sam saw his ex-partner
in a house of prostitution.
Overcome with anger at the sight
of the man who had caused his
misery, Sam resolved to do some­thing.
Squaring his shoulders and
calming his shaking knees, Sam
exploded, "Damn it, Harry, one
day you'll go a little too far. Then
see what I'll do!"

You never get too old too learn.

Rich didn't choose Auburn. If his
methods and ideas are as old as
he is, he would probably have
found a lot in common with a
few (censored to read "a very

(Republican) could possibly con­ceive
such a thing. If the male

Petty-girl, Varga-calendar, and
Esquire-art connoisseurs have
wondered about the origins of the
Spring Maid, t h e tantalizing
short-skirted morsel who smirks
out (yes, she has a face, too)
from the pages of twenty maga­zines
as the come-on for adver­tisements
cryptically titled "Defy
Diaphoresis." The Maid models
and advertises cotton fabrics
manufactured by the Springs
Cotton Mills.
Last season the Springs ads
featured reproductions of the
trade mark, a Puritan maid at a
spring of water, as seen through
the eyes of various modern illus­trators,
especially some of those
who specialize in the colt-legged
young females who. adorn the
walls of men's rooms nowadays.
This series seems to have pro­vided
the impetus for the new
campaign, in which the trade
mark is not an integral part.
The ads carry a brief song-and-dance
about Springs Mills' de­velopment
of a scent-impregnated
fabric for jungle camouflage use
during wartime, and suggest that
this fabric is now available for
the "bucket bolster and hip har­ness
trade." Lingerie designers
are urged to. use the new line of
fabric, which comes in various
essences of flower odors, as con­trasted
to the wartime product,
which was saturated with the
smell of old boots, garbage, and
tar.
But the eye always returns to
the sight of that pretty girl, the
focal point and 90 per cent of the
area of the ad. The new campaign,
Advertising and Selling Magazine
confides between giggles, is the
brain-child of Elliot Springs,
president of the company. This
warp-and-woof Orson Welles
writes the ad copy, selects the
picture of the girl, does the lay­out,
and then places the ad
through his agency. Mr. Springs
missed a bet, using words like
"Diaphoresis'1 and the other bo­gey
he reveals, "Steatopygic
Stance." Look that one up, gen­tle
reader., You. know, I may be
the only person who ever read
that copy of Springs'—but I just
cut it off as I pinned up the
girl's picture in my room.

Dames Club Invites Students Wives
To Attend 'Get Acquainted Parly'
The Auburn Dames Club, a chapter of the National Asso­ciation
of University Dames, is having its annual " Get Ac­quainted
Party " on the night of November 2, at 8 o'clock, in
Mell Street Cafeteria. The president, Mrs. Gay Smyer, has
urged that all wives of students attend the party and join the
Dames Club. Students wives may
become active members by pay­ing
dues of 50 cents each Quarter.
Once one has become an active
member, she may become an asso­ciate
member of any chapter in
the U.S.
Auburn Dames Club is a chap­ter
of the national association,
one of about fifty suclf chapters
at c o l l e g e s\ and universities
throughout the United States.
The local chapter was organized
in January, 1946, and was the
first chapter to be organized in
Alabama.
The Dames Club meets every
first and third Wednesday night
in the month at 8 o'clock in So­cial
Center at the Women's
Quadrangle. The first monthly
meeting is devoted to special in­terests
such as bridge, knitting,
crocheting, darning hubby's socks,
or just talking! The second meet­ing
in the month is the formal
meeting, and the club usually has
an outside speaker.
An interesting group of pro­grams
has been and is being lined
up for the coming year. A social
hour follows at the end of each
meeting with two members serv­ing
as' hostesses. The Club pays
for the refreshments; the hostes­ses
prepare and serve them.
The Constitution states that a
party must be held each quarter
at which the husbands are the
"honor guests." A pot-luck sup­per
is being planned for members,
t h e i r husbands, and invited
guests in November.
Mrs. Smyer has promised an
evening of entertainment and fun
at the "Get Acquainted Party"
Tuesday. I V
The present officers of the
Dames Club are listed below.
Wives interested in attending the
"Get Acquainted Party" should
call one of the following:

Help In Installing
Chapter At Georgia
The second southern chapter of
Omega Tau Sigma, veterinary

at the University of

appreciation of the college

I am a transfer student from

Alabama. Recently room and
board could be obtained at the
college or in town for the price of
30.00 to $35.00 per month, which
would be a fanatics dream in Au­burn.
And -yet, the city fathers and
merchants of Troy have for the
past two years, to my knowledgje,
sponsored a "College Apprecia­tion

which would do much for
Auburn and the college as it has,
for Troy and the teachers col­lege
there. What is the matter

Dear Editor:
I have already said what^ I
thought of the Auburn States
Rights Association. To me, it is
as flagrantly a false issue as any
in the'history of this country.
But suppose we stretch our imagi­nation
quite a bit and suppose
that the States Righters are ac­tually
concentrating their atten­tion
on infringements of state's
rights in general and not on the
Negro question alone.
Granting this supposition, I can
tell them rjght now that they
are going about it in the wrong
way. If the States Righters want
the national government to keep
its nose out of the Negro and
other problems, they will have to
get busy and clean up these prob­lems
themselves to the satisfac­tion
of the nation as a whole.
If they were actually making
an efort to do this and were
making some progress, I would
be an ardent States Righter -my­self.
But I fail to see any signs
of any such effort being made,
and I think it is long past time
for-any such'efort being made,
and I think it is long past time
for the national government to
step in and do some houseclean-ing.
• Yours sincerely,

Seeded Teams In Fraternity Leagues
Open Season With Impressive Wins
By Bruce Greenhill
The seeded teams in t h e different football leagues entered
t h e b a t t l e for the i n t e r f r a t e r n i t y title last week, each one scor­ing
an initial win. SAE, defending champion, dropped Lamb­da
Chi, PiKA edged Theta Chi, SPE smothered Pi Kappa Phi,
and Alpha Psi walloped Sigma Pi. In other games played,
ATO whipped Delta Sig, TEP for-
RAT TACKLE
• i
feited to Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sig
beat AGR, 'and Phi Delt squeezed
by Sigma Chi.
SAE 18 LCA 0
Defending champion -6AE ser­ved
notice of more title aspira­tions
this year by smothering
Lambda Chi, 18 to 0. Joe Rollins,
star of last year's all star game,
led SAE with his needle thread­ing
passes. Joe completed long
ones to Jimmy Biggers and Jake
Jones for the first two scores and
then hit Jones with a short one to
give SAE a thr£e touchdown vic­tory.
Bill Barnard and Joe Mc-
Adory led the LCA defense and
Fred Johnson and Charlie Peay
played well for the winners.
PiKA 6 Theta Chi 0
A long pass from Jim Dow to
Flash Riley was the difference
between the Pikes and Theta Chi
in a hard fought, even ball game.
Dow led the Pike offense in vic­tory
as Dub Ellis played an out­standing
line game. Joe Christian
passed well for Theta Chi and
Foots Morris' defensive play drew
a lot of cheers.
SPE 25 PKP 12
Bill Fleming passed the Sig Eps
to victory in a free scoring game
that saw a larger number of points
scored than in any other game in
recent intramural history. Flem­ing
threw three touchdown aer­ials
to Gerald Fields, whose pass
receiving was great, and then con­nected
with Hoyt Wiggonton for
the fourth and final score. Stewart
Folmar completed one to War­ren
Poland and one to Joe Cap-pel
for the PKP scores. Bob
Thrash played a rousing defensive
game for Pi Kappa Phi and
Brown, besides kicking an extra
point, blocked well for SPE.
Alpha Psi 15 Sigma Pi 6
Robert Williams pitched strikes
to Lamar Moree and Claude
Jameson for two touchdowns and
to Jim Acree for an extra point
in the vets' victory over Sigma
Pi. Jack Cobb tagged a SP run­ner
behind the goal line to round
out the Alpha Psi scoring. Gene
Logan passed to Ed Knight for
the Sigma Pi marker. Bill Tis-dale's
line play for AP was a
bright spot in the game.
ATO 13 DSP 6
, Paul Eyrick's strong right arm
lifted ATO to a win over the
Delta Sig team. Eyrick passed to
Al Briley and Zeke Scott for two
touchdowns. Fred Hahn convert­ed
once for ATO. Bill Logan hit
Sandy Southerland for the Delta
Sig score. Emmet Wiggonton was
the defensive star for ATO and
Terry Bain and Jerry Wasley led
the hard charging Delta Sig line.
Kappa Sigma 8 AGR 0
Kappa Sig held on to its unde­feated,
unscored on record by
downing Alpha Gamma Rho 6 to
0. Ed Thomas connected with a
pass to Bobby Hicks for the KS
score and the game's only marker.
Jackie Davis led the AGR offense
and James Maddox and Frank
Ackerman led the defense. Dick
Hahri was easily the outstanding
Kappa Sig player with his pass de­fending
and receiving.
PDT 8 Sigma Chi 7
Phi Delt outgained Sigma Chi
by ten yards in a "sudden death"
playoff and came out on top of
their game 8 to 7. Clarence Sel­lers
passed to Buck Marsh for a
touchdown and Joe Meade con­verted
to give the Phi Delts seven
points in the regular time. John
Bryant passed to Bobby Glenn
for the Sigma Chi score and then
pitched one to Ted Kingsford for
the extra ppint. Fred Folsom was
the defensive star for PDT and
Howie Sims for the losers.

Surendra Sharma Comes From India
To Get Master's Degree At Auburn
By F r a n R. Harper
At t h e expense of t h e government of India, S u r e n d r a Shar­ma,
33-year-old Hindu from Bihar, India, is studying for a
m a s t e r ' s degree in fish c u l t u r e at Auburn.
Although "India has m a n y rivers, lakes a n d ponds, t h e y are
not well-stocked with fish, and Sharma says it was not until
1945 that the government began
an intensive program to develope
fish as a resource which can be
utilized for food for the jnillions
of inhabitants.
Sharma came to Auburn last
January after learning about the
school from India's director of
fisheries. He flew from Calcutta
to New York on a trip which was
scheduled for 58 hours but which
continued six days because of
storms.
On arriving in New York, Shar­ma
said he was discouraged by
Northerners when he told of his
plans to come South, but he re­fused
to listen to them and is now
hard at work on his thesis, "The
Effect of Rotenbne On Bottom
Organism in Fertilized Ponds."
A graduate of Benares Univer­sity
in India, Sharma will recieve
his master's in June. He said he
could have finished earlier, but
that he wants to make the most
of his visit to the United States
by traveling during the vacation
periods. <
He has visited Washington,
D. C. twice, New Orleans, Mobile,
Atlantic City and Maryland, and
hopes to see the West Coast be­fore
he returns to his honjeland.
Sharma said that the children
in India are told about George
Washington fighting the British.
All Indians have heard of the
wonders in industry in this coun­try.
"The people of my country
have gotten inspiration from the
United States. We have nothing
to offer in return except our
thanks", he said.
Life in the United States isn't
as strange to Sharma as most
returning to his homeland is his
three-month old daughter whom
he has ndver seen. In fact, he
doesn't even know her name, for
when his wife wrote and asked
that he suggest a name for the
infant, he refused, insisting that
in India a child is a woman's re­sponsibility
and that she should
have the right to name it.
Sharma said he became inter­ested
in fish culture when he
was a college student earning ex­penses
by working in a biology
laboratory. Trout, carp and cat­fish
are numerous in India but
they are of a different species
than we know here.
He said fish have never been
so numerous that the people
could turn to fishing as a hobby.
In fact, he said, few people ate
fish until recent years.
Sharma was a fishery officer
in India, and because he is being
sent to school by the government,
he is under contract, and must
work for them for five years.
India has three major problems
in developing its fisheries, Shar­ma
says. They are: (1) transpor­tation
of young fish to .ponds;
(2) marketing, since there are
few ice factories; and (3) can­ning.
When he returns to Bihar he'll
work in the fish research center
and he predicts that the Ganges,
India's sacred river which flows
through the town, will soon be
heavily stocked with fish.
Meanwhile at Auburn, Sharma
is quite.busy introducing Gunjit
Singh, another Hindu who just
arrived here to study engineer­ing.
Surendra Sharma
people would believe. He studied
fenglish in college and therefore
speaks our language quite well
although he does have an accent.
The food here is what puzzles
him most.
"In India ,we season our food
very highly," he said, "but here
in the South you people just boil
food, at least it seems that way
to me. But I do like the meats
in America. We don't have much
meat at home."
A constant smoker, Sharma
says that American cigarets are
much milder than those in In­dia.
He pointed out however, that
India raises tobacco and manu­factures
the name brand ciga­rets
that are sold in England.

Green Wave Held For 3 Quarters
Beats Fighting Tigers 21 To 6
The Tulane Green Wave had to backwater Saturday as
t h e Auburn Tigers played an inspired game. In the presence
of 35,000 fans the Tigers played w i t h such old-time fire that
it d r ew praises from all the sports w r i t e r s of t h e South. Not
u n t i l the last q u a r t e r could the Wave fans d r aw a relieved
breath.
Auburn threw everything in the
scoreless battle of the first half
and then played the Greeriies to
a standstill in the third quarter
when both scored. During the
final period the Wave gathered
steam and drove the pigskin
downfield twice for paydirt.
Auburn's line, sparked by Bill
Waddail, Max Autrey, and John
Adcock, turned in a great per­formance.
The Greenies gained
268 yards running to the Tigers'
80 but failed to cross the goal
line before the half!
Early in the third quarter Tu­lane
started a running and passing
attack on its 36 which ended in
the first score of the game. The
Tigers came right back, however,
when Red Snell recovered a
Greenie fumble on Tulane's .24.
Norton hit left tackle for two and
after two more unsuccessful at­tempts
on the pari of the Tigers,
Tidwell hurled a great pass to
Russell at Tulane's five. Jnman
scored on the third buck, going
through center.- McDaniel failed
to convert the extra point. The
third quarter ended with the
score 7-6.
Norton made Auburn's second
bid to score when he took a
Greenie punt early in the fourth
and dashed downfield to fall over
the goal line. The offiicals, how­ever,
called him out of bounds on
Auburn's 36 and the play was
nullified.
Tulane struck back and scored
with' a 33 yard run by Kinek be­hind
perfect Interference. Shef­field
converted for the Greenies.
With less than 5 minutes .to play
Tulane intercepted an Auburn
pass and set the stage for an­other
touchdown. Kinek took the
honor on a pass from Bonar. Shef-

14-9 Heartbreaker
To Baby Tigers
The Auburn freshmen football
team suffered a heart-breaking
loss to the University of Alabama
frosh -Friday night in Tuscaloosa
when they came out on the short
•end of a 14-9 score in the first
athletic encounter between the
two schools in 41 years.
Ahead 9-0 in the third quarter,
the Tigers first saw the Alabama
squad capitalize on "a series of
passes to make it 9-7 and then
with a little over a minute to go
in the game, saw their lead
wiped out on .another aerial bar­rage.
Auburn outgained Alabama on
the ground, gathering some 12
first downs to Alabama's 7,- but
the 'Bamas made up for it via
their passers.
Bobby -Golden booted a field
goal with a minute to go in the
second period to give Auburn a
3-0 edge, while a 70-yard march
in the third quarter, climaxed by
Dwight Hitt's smash through the
line, gave the Tigers a -9-0 lead.
Alabama's four fumbles were
balanced partly by Auburn's poor
kicking average—22.1 yards per
try. Wilson for Alabama averaged
48.1 yards per kick.
FROSH END
field again made the conversion.
The Tigers growled again with
only one minute to play when
Tidwell a t t e m p t e d a pass to
Flournoy in the end zone. It was
knocked down hy Hickman and
the ball game en(ied with the ball
in Auburn's possession.
Although outplayed, the Tigers
showed New Orleans fans one of
the greatest exhibitions of defen­sive
football they have ever seen.
Time and again Auburn .stopped
Greenie touchdown drives within
the Tigers' 15 yard line.
Before the game ended, 35,000
fans were applauding the gallant
fighting spirit of the Tigers.
