Fall Retreat Is Held
By Westminster Group
The Westminister Fellowship
held its Fall Retreat at Spring
Villa Boy Scout Campl October
8 and 9. Plans were made for the
next two quarters by the Council.
Inspirational speaker was
Reverend Donny McGuire of the
Tuskegee Presbyterian Church.
The Retreat was chaperoned by
Reverend and Mrs. Gene Poe and
Professor and Mrs. Don McChes-ney.
#
half of President Draughon, and
then Colonel O. P . Lee gave the
introductory speech.
Rep. Andrews, gave a very
frank and straightforward talk.
He stressed the fact that there
will be no Truman electors on the
ballot in November, and he explained
why. Truman has been on
the ballot in Alabama once, and
he suffered, a stinging defeat. Andrews
went on to say, however,
that he thought it would be a good
idea to allow Truman to get on
i ^ - h ^ « r t i a 8 a ^ r ^ / ^ e f i e v ' ^ s ,it
would show Truman how unpopular
he is in Alabama.
Rep. Andrews gave some, interesting
ideas on segregation. He
stated that segregation has been
the custom, tradition, and law in
the South since the Negro was
first introduced into the country.
These will not be broken overnight
by Civil-Rights legislation
which, he declared, is unconstitutional.
He went on to say that there
are powerful forces -at work^ to
force the Negro where he is not
wanted. He called names by mentioning
the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People,, which held a meeting
recently in Mobile. Rep Andrews
stated that at this meeting it was
decided that an attempt would be
made to force the University of
Alabama to admit one or more
Negro students, and that refusal
by the University authorities to
do so would result in a series of
law suits.
At the conclusion of his speech
Rep. Andrews answered questions
from the audience. One of the
questions asked, him ;was J^What
role do you think; the -South will
play at the Democratic Convention
in 1952?" He had no corn-merit.
Auburn's all-time football record
at the opening of the 1948
campaign shows the Tigers with
235 victories, 164 losses and 30
ties.
All Seniors expecting to graduate
in December should report
to the Registrar's Office

Wise Old Tom Sellers Gives Advice
On Man, Ambition, and Happiness
By Tom Sellers
Just in from the coal-smoke country of Birmingham, I
stood on Toomer's corner and breathed tjtie sweet air. I was
home again.
Fresh and determined last August, I had graduated with
a faraway look in my eyes. Life in the big city was calling.
"Something lost beyond the
ranges—go and find it . . ." The
words of an old poem ran through
my mind as I waved a watery
farewell to friends and relatives.
Well, I arrived on the other
side of the ranges and began hunting
for whatever was lost there.
Maybe it's the Valley of the
Shmo'on I thougt, or the Dake Isle
of Innisfree—or better yet—the
blue bird of happiness. Anyway,
I aimed to find it.
To find anything in Birmingham
you first have to take a trolley.
Unless, of course, you're a
capitalist with an automobile. To
the natives, taking a street car
is second nature. Most of them
learn to catch trolleys before they
learn to walk.
The first day in town I caught
17 wrong street cars, walked at
least 40 blocks, and made lifetime
enemies of half the motor-men
in Birmingham. If you ask
a man how to get to Squarefield
or some other place he thinks
you're stupid, and soon you believe
it.
But I encountered the real difficulty
after I had the street car
problem mastered. Money. With
it the town is yours—without it
you belong to the town. Food,
shelter, and clothing are huckstered
at astronomical figures.
Somebody said the bluebird of
happiness was a mercenary Jit-lte
creature, and I despaired of
finding him.
They said he nested only in the
most expensive places
Then I went to work and got
paid and set out with new determination.
I would buy the
bluebird, I thought. And I wandered
through the hurry and bustle
flinging my stake around like
birdseed, right and left in the
wind. Ah, it was gay!
But still no Valley of the
Shmoon. Still no Lake Isle of
Innisfree. Still no bluebird of
happiness.
One day I stopped on a street
corner and bought a newspaper
from an old man. He had a wooly,

marked with years of arthritis
and penury. r.
But he had a beautiful smile,
and I was puzzled. "Old man, how
can you smile?" I said.
"Ah, my son," he: answered. "I
have found the bluebird of happiness."
"Where is it?" I said eagerly—
beside myself with hope.
He tapped a horny-finger on his
chest. "It is here. It is in my
heart." ',
"But why, old man?" I asked.
He thought for a moment. "I
guess it's here because I've never
been able to look for it. You see,
son, I can't walk."
I looked at him where he' sat
and saw that his-legs were shriveled
and twisted. He spoke again:

After that day I stopped looking i
for the Valley of the Shmoon,
and the Lake Isle of Innisfree,
and'the bluebird of happiness. !
They're on every street corner
and in every heart in the world.
But take care you don't go too
far. You'll leave them behind.

The Georgia Tech Rally
The decision has been made to hold the
Georgia Tech pep rally. It was not an easy
one to make. Repercussions from last
y e a r ' s fiasco have not yet completely died
away. Another such exhibition would
sound the death knell for all f u t u r e rallies.
In planning to have the rally, those responsible
have demonstrated their faith in
t h e student body. There was ample reason
to abandon completely the traditional pa-jama
parade. This was considered and rejected.
I t must be realized by everyone conc
e r n e d— students, faculty members, and
townspeople—that a repetition of t h e rioting
which roared through the dormitories
and the town last year and which was
carried by newspaper and radio to every
corner of the state and the nation, would
be disastrous to Auburn. It must not
happen.
It is the responsibility of every individual
student to make certain that the
pep rally does not get out of hand; that it
remains a pep rally, nothing more. The
parade held on the night prior to the
Homecoming game proved that "sane demonstrations
are possible here.
The t e am is going u p to A t l a n t a to beat
Tech. A good pep rally will mean much
to their morale. It will send t h em off confident
of the full support of the students.
A pep rally which degenerates into unr
u l y mob violence will put a damper on
t h e team's spirit.
Go to the pep rally. Yell yourself hoarse.
73ut when the rally is over, keep your
Jlead. Let it end there.
Auburn's name must" be redeemed. The
eyes of the state will be focused on us tomorrow.
The slightest mis-step will mean
disaster.
Let's not make the same mistake again.
That Ol' Auburn Spirit
The Auburn spirit is not dead.
It may have been in a coma, but it never
died.
It was very much alive during the crucial
fourth quarter of the Louisiana Tech
game. There was no signal given from the
cheerleaders, but the entire crowd suddenly
came to life. It was as if an electric
c u r r e n t had been turned on. It has been
a long time since that sort of spirit has
been seen on the Plains. So long, in fact,
t h a t some said t h e spirit was dead.
Sunday morning the team arrived at
t h e airport. The night before -they had lost
a football game in Tampa. It was a good
game, a hard fought game. It was a tough
one to lose.
When the plane carrying t h e t e am landed
and taxied up to the hangar t h e r e were
several hundred students t h e r e to meet it.
The cheerleaders were there.
o
The cheers that went up then were
genuine. They were sincere. We t h i n k that
t h e t e am realized that. It was a wonderful
demonstration. It said the things that Aub
u r n has been wanting to say for such a
long time. It said t h a t A u b u r n appreciates
a fighting team. That, though the past has
been dark, t h e r e is daylight in sight now.
It has been a long time since anyone
bothered to meet an Auburn t e am r e t u r n ing
from defeat. It is a healthy sign.
There will be other defeats, but there
will be victories too. And when the victo- \
ries begin to come, Aubur n will be ready
t o receive them. \-^» f
The Auburn spirit" is not dead.
More Taxation Unless...
One of the editorials which appeared
in the October 6 issue of the Plainsman
discussed various p a r t s of the amusement
t a x which is scheduled to go into effect
Saturday. The tax will take the price of
adult motion picture theater tickets up
t h r e e cents at the Tiger and War Eagle
t h e a t e r s and up a cent and a half at the
Drive In theater..
This t a x will be felt by all adults who
patronize these theaters. It is of t h e interest
of the students of A u b u r n to k n ow and
u n d e r s t a n d what benefits will come to
t h e students and how much is expected to
be raised from this tax. Since t h e students
will pay the greater part of the money
raised through this tax, it is only fair that
t h e y should know what is done with it.
T. A. Sims, member of the Auburn
•City Commission, said Saturday that t h e'
money raised would be spent on street improvements,
g a r b a g e removal, health
Work, police protection, fire protection,
and other city services. Mr. Sims said he
thought the tax would raise about 12,000
dollars annually. He explained, "The tax
Will go into the general fund to help give
t h e students the kind of city they would
like to have . . ."
When asked if he thought this t a x ordinance
was without representation from
those who would have to pay the greater
part of it, Mr. Sims said, "I do not."
The seating capacity- of the Tiger thea
t e r is 750, the War Eagle theater seats
700, and the Drive In t h e a t e r has parking
space for 450 automobiles. Both the Tiger
and the War Eagle have four shows daily
and the Drive In has two. The potential
attendance at t h e Tiger is 21,000 while the
War Eagle t h e a t e r can accommodate 19,-
600 each week. *
The national average at. d r i v e in theaters
is slightly more t h a n two customers per
car. Figuring at two persons to each automobile,
t h e Drive In t h e a t e r has a capacit
y of 12,600 a week.
The total possible revenue on this tax
amounts to 73,164 dollars a year. The city
officials have gone on record as saying
t h e y expected the amusement t a x t o total
only 1,000 dollars a month. *The estimate
seems to be e x t r e m e l y conservative. They,
as we, can only guess.
A citizen who-has been i n t e r e s t e d in the
attendance of t h e Tiger t h e a t e r for several
years has stated that the students buy between
75 and 90 p e r c e n t of all tickets sold
at that theater. This is also probably the
case at the other theaters in Auburn.
At least two of the purposes of raising
funds from his t a x are p a r t i a l l y paid for
in other ways by the student. A part of
t h e fees paid by the student each q u a r t er
furnish^ money for health and police protection.
By paying this tax, students pay
for these services twice, once to' t h e college
and once to t h e city.
The city of A u b u r n r e c e n t l y passed ordinances
to raise money t h r o u g h a cigarette
tax, a gasoline tax, and a r e n t a l of parking
space through parking meters. The greatest
supporter of these is the student.
If the students don't fight the amusement
tax ordinance, the city government
will soon make a l aw of its proposed bill
calling for a tax on bowling and pool
games.
We believe that the amusement tax is
unjust, that it will raise more money
t h a n specified, t h a t it is taxation without
representation, and that the city is laying
something in the lap of the student
because it doesn't think the student will
protest.
The ordinance has already been passed,
but it may be petitioned until Friday
night. To force a city wide vote on this
bill, a p e t i t i on with t h e names of 300 regist
e r e d Auburn voters is needed. Students
who are eligible voters in Auburn should
sign t h e petition being circulated. Students
who are not eligible voters here can express
their opinions by sending post cards
or l e t t e r s to Mr. Bill Ham, Mr. T. A. Sims,
or Mr. G. H. Wright, city commissioner,
Auburn.
Until t h e officials of t h e City of Auburn
submit to t h e students a satisfactorily det
a i l ed report stating what the money
raised from the amusement tax will be
spent for, how much will be set aside for
each item, and until a plan is submitted
that will give the students a voice in city
affairs which affect them, the Plainsman
believes itself justified in working to stop
t h e flow of money out of t h e pocket of the
student and into the pocket of the city
government.

The Exchange Post ^^f1 ^ Dead End
By Joe Pilcher
The Common Man ^•.*# ******
Some subjects are dull because the teachers are dull.
Others, because the students are. But economics is intrinsically
dull. Principles of economics is the dullest of the
dull. And since the powers t h a t be have seen fit to castigate
t h e greater part of the student body by lashing t h em with
economics, a few observations are . . , ,
economist (who, after all, are
pretty provincial) as a scientist."
Now here's my beef against
economics. Why can't they get
together on such omni-important
questions as to whether bordellos,
floating dice games, bookie
joints, and Murder Incorporated
are unproductive or not? Of
course, I am personally disinter*
ested. However there are people
-who depend on these various industries
for their livelihood. What
are they going to do now until
Blodget't and his boys decide
whether their labor is going to
be productive?
But all is not complete gloom
in the economics classes these
days. Like Old Golds, something
new has been added. There :!is
now a supplement to Blodgett's
text book. It is called "Supplementary
Economic Principles and
Problems".
The new work concerns itself
with the antics ofr a group of back-wiodish
but genteel hillfolk and
the problems which arise when a
certain Reverend Peek arrives to
upset the even tenor of their usually
uneventful ways. A sample
dialogue from this supplement between
good-hearted but laconic
Sam Jenkins and his shrewish
wife Sally, runs as follows.
not amiss.
It seems like all economists—
or at least the ones who write
text books as a form of getting
along economically—have a great
deal in common with thieves.
There is a continual falling out
among them. Whereas one will
state cautiously that a pool of fish
is land, the other may be won't to
call it a pool of fish acting as
land. Such anomalies are not uncommon
at all in the realm of
economic text books.
Shining light among text book"
writers, Blodgett (economists like
lawyers prefer to have only last
names when they become great
authorities) carefully states a
fine point in principles of econo-m
i c s thusly: "Other writers
would class as
' ~~ unproductive all
™ labor and other
H sources devoted
to o p e r a t i n g
houses of prostitution,
gambling
dens, book-making
establishments
(hey,
i | get that 'establishments',
Moe)
for betting on
races, and all
facilities which people may use
for gambling on changes in prices
of securities or commodities." He
then goes on to add that: "We.
(meaning Blodgett) do not want
to take the attitude that all or
any of these activities are morally
or socially desirable, but
we must contend that such questions
of ethics and morals are
outside the strict province of the
Sam has just been piqued by a
rather pointed remark of Sally's
and he pouts, "I might be a little
lazy but I ain't as dumb as you
think.";
Sally,- who really is sort of fond
of old Sam in spite of his inate
disinclination for work, replies,
". . .you never do act lack you
lack to work too much."
BURP By Boyd Hinton
The juke box is ruining the
intellectual life of the soda fountain
and bar room.
Don't misunderstand me please,
I think it is a fine thing in its
place but like the proverbial "hog
in the house. Let one in and he
will crawl up on the table," The
juke box has not only crawled up
on the table but blows suds in
your face to attract your attention
first. Formerly, half of the
attraction of the bar room was
the good conversation a person
could have with his fellow bar
fly, but now about the only time
you can make yourself heard is
after you wave your arm frantically
in the air and yell loud
enough to make your larynx yell
for mercy to your tonsils.
/
Hinton
The juke box,
with its maze of
vulgar l i g h ts
and neon tubes
is nothing more
than a glutton
for nickles. It
has become such
a n obscession
with American
people that they
are attracted to
it like a co-ed to
a convertible.
It is also hurting the value of
what real music means, with
this ' modern mess of noises,
crashes and drum-beats. So many
strange rhythms pound through
peoples heads all the time that
it is little wonder so many people
are neurotic or to get real
honest with it, crazy.
Cheap records and 2 by 4 radio
stations are mainly responsible
for this miserable state of affairs.
With little more than a subscription
to a news wire service, and
a record playing machine, along
with a big collection of lousy records^
most of these small stations
stay on the air from 14 to
18 hours each day. News eventually
runs out but records,
never!!! So they play, and play,
and play.
People have gotten so used to
music that they consequently demand
it whenever it is at all
possible. The people request programs
are most distasteful of
all. *Their success is based on the
fact that so many stoops will go
to any lengths to get their name
mentioned on the air. From the
apparent volume of mail that
comes in, and the fact that disk
jockies dish out a lot of stupid
humor, you have to listen to a
great deal of yak, yak, in order
to hear one lousy record.
Let's do away with juke boxes
completely, and limit radio stations
to eight hours of time each
day. The calibre of the programs
would certainly improve, and
nervous breakdowns would show
a decided decline.

Letters to the Editor
It is the policy of this newspaper
to publish only those letters
to the editor which' are signed by
'the author. Names are withheld
upon request.
Dear Editor:
It seems unfair to me that the
staff of the only Auburn periodical
which is read by a majority of
the students should be unanimously
prejudiced on a subject when
it is not supported by a majority
of the students. I refer to chang- -
ing the name of our school to
something including university.
The question has been asked
"What is a university and likewise
a pdlytechnic institute?" According
to Mr. Webster, a university
is, and I quote, "An institution
organized for teaching and study
in the higher branches of learning,
and empowered to confer degrees
in special departments such
as theology, law, medicine, and
the arts; in the United States typically
a college and one or more
professional or graduate schools."
The definition of polytechnic is
"of or devoted to instruction in
many technical arts or applied
sciences."
Not only does Auburn have
very few of the qualifications to
justly classify itself with the former,
even if an appreciable number
of those concerned wished it
so, but it is described to the fullest
extent by the latter.
In almost every state there is at
least one institution of higher
learning devoted to law, medicine, •
etc. and one to engineering and
allied subjects and there is little
doubt which of these Auburn represents
in our state.
Some have stated .that Alabama
Polytechnic Institute is too big a
mouthful for a name, but if there
is no title in the language to describe
it better, then we must accept
it and continue to call it
among ourselves and those who
know what it stands for, 'Auburn.'
Yours for clearly defined
alma mater,
David L. Hogan

services to. the citizens and the
students of Auburn?
Nearly, one-third of the property
of Auburn is put pf taxation
by Virtue of the fact that the college,
the fraternities and churches
are property tax exempt. This
rrfeans that the citizens have to
make up this difference to provide
the normal municipal services.
However, I, for one, do not
feel that we citizens and taxpayers
should make the students
"scape-goats" and fleece them.
This procedure savors of "taxation
without representation" and
not only is it tyranhy but it could
well be called "corrupt". The apparent
policy of the city officials
is to "tax and tax" and
"spend and spend."
The students should protest
these iniquities and inequities to
$heir landlords, bankers, laund-erers,
drycleaners, and other unemployed
influential people.

Dear Editor:
I feel that the proposed new
City Amusement tax is unfair,
inequitable, and an unjust burden
on the students.
It is generally understood that
the proceeds from this new tax
will pay Auburn's share of a Lee
County Hospital. The students
already support through their
fees the College Infirmary.
Is it that the city fathers are
completely bankrupt of ideas
for fairly, equitable and justly
raising the necessary monies to
provide the proper municipal
m
Dear Editor:
I want to add my two-bits of
comment on this football ticket
situation. I realize that there
could be no guest tickets for the
Miss.. Southern game and the
Homecoming Game and that the
situation will be much the same
for a lot of the other games because
of increased enrollment, increased
demand for tickets, and
possibly several other reasons that
I don't know about..
BUT . . . I don't see why the
students are getting the less desirable
seats at these games. I am
speaking primarily about the
Gebrgia Tech game. As yet, the
best tickets I have seen students
with are on the twenty yard line.
My ticket is on the goal line, in
the temporary stands, therefore
this letter.
Now, most of us don't like
VIP's or privileged characters,
but we are attending this institution
and I think we are entitled to
decent seats. Who is getting the
seats near the midfield? I am almost
positive that Grant Field has
a capacity somewhere near 30,000
and I want to know why students
didn't get at least some of the
good seats. We have always been
taken care of before and have always
had as decent accommodations
as could be lined up reasonably
and I feel sure that there
must be a good reason why we
are taking such a beating now.
How about seeing if we can't get
a little light on the subject. It certainly
would make me feel better
if I knew the why's and wherefore's
and I believe the rest of the
rank and file of us feel the same.
Is this going to continue all season?
If so, WHY?? What gives?
What kind of seats are the Ga.

I Would like to thank Joe Pilcher
for contributing the space of
his column to me this week in
order that I might tell a little
about the Auburii States' Rights
Association. I would also like to
avail myself of this oppurtUnity
to compliment Joe on his excellent
column last week about the
racial problem.
Listening around the campus
during the past few weeks I have
been impressed by the large number
of people who do not understand
the immediate objectives
or the eventual aims of the states
rights movement. This is the reason
that I have come to look on
the job of the Auburn States
Rights Association as that of education
primarily. Along this line
we hope to bring other Southern
statesmen to the campus, justras
We have brought Representative
Andrews. We are going to show
the people throughout the State
that students at Auburn are just
as' aroused by the Philadelphia
insult as are all other Southerners.
People have asked me what
the South can hope to gain by
refusing to support the national
party nominees, and by casting
its votes for a candidate who has
almost no chance of victory. There
are many reasons why we are
supporting Governors Thurmond
and Wright. Our original hope
was to throw the election into
the House of Representatives but
this has been lost due to Truman's
Weak showing in the rest of the
country.
Our objective now must be to
register a protest—not by voting
for another party that is advocating
the same force bills that the
party which we are repudiating
is erroneously calling the Civil
Rights Bill. Our course, on the
contrary, must be to vote solidly
for the principles that we believe.
We must make this a year that
will show that the South will be
emancipated from those who
would, play politics with our misery
on the race question.
A vote for Governor Thurmond
is a proclaimation that the South
can never again be taken for
granted. If 1948 finds us fighting

Forrester
Dash of Bitters
By Jim Forrester
A hearty welcome is in order
to the group visiting the campus
today from the University. Today's
visit is another example of
the great amount of time, planning,
and work that is going into
the Auburn-Alabama 'game. Few
Auburn students are actively
aware of these efforts to insure
a clean, sportsmanlike weekend
on the part of the student body
of each school.
It is significant that members
of the administration fully realize
the importance of an intelligently
led, intelligently acting
student body.
The action of
the students will
make or break
the game. An
u n r u l y mob
could ruin the
contest and the
weekend and
could even cause
the game to be
dropped again.
On the other
hand, a student
body acting with tolerance, restraint,
and good sense will
strengthen the position of the
game and will make it possible
for the two institutions to continue
athletic relations.
During the past meetings of the
groups from the two schools, one
of the most impressive features
has been the attitude of the students
attending. Without exception
they have demonstrated an
awareness of their responsibility
in making the game the success
it must be. They have consistently
shown a complete willingness to
cooperate fully with members of
the other group and to do everything
in their power to assist the
others in any way possible. A
spirit of friendly rivalry has
existed, but more impressive has
been the determination to keep it
friendly. The general attitude of
the two student bodies could well
be set by this example.
Members of the* student body
who ,remember last year's disastrous
Georgia Tech rally and
the resulting nationwide smear
on Auburn's reputation certainly •
do not want any more publicity
in that vein. The meetings that
have been held and the exchange
of ideas betwefeh students of the
two schoolB have done much to
insure against suctl an occurance.
It is the responsibility of every
student to "make sure that the
game is a success in every way.

Agricultural Council President
Asks Cooperation of Ag Students
Auburn's enlarged Agricultural enrollment was challenged
today to take an active part in all extra curricula
activities by Agricultural Council president, Buck Byrd of
Mobile. Byrd requested "better participation'by all students
and urged closer cooperation among all of the Agricultural
organizations.
Byrd stated that in putting on
the annual Agricultural Fair this
year, the Ag students should present
a show such as the South
has never witnessed. To do this,
there must be full participation
Ag Banquet, -and the Farmer's
Ball during the Ag. Fair.
All meetings are open. and
anyone may attend. Before a student
is considered an active mem»
bet- and has the privilege of
voting, however, he must? have
paid his d u e s . . ..
of all Ag students and harmony
among the Agricultural clubs.
Byrd pointed out some of the
advantages of taking part in club
activities as promoting the profession
of Agriculture by promoting
scholarship,' fellowship and
leadership abilities among mutual
interest and enthusiasm in
Agriculture among Agricultural
students and faculty members.
Another point stressed was
that these various organizations
will give the students an opportunity
to put more into their college
work, thereby deriving more
out of college life. Work in the
organizations is probably the
only way in which students can
be recognized by a department
head or professor other than
through scholastic averages.
The cost of the various organizations
is very small and all
have interesting programs and
social events during the year.
Some of the larger events attracting
campus-wide attention

in regard to student pictures. This
year they will be arranged 'by
schools and years within the

will be more satisfactory to. the
students, but it entails extra work,
and time on the part of the staff.

necessary to designate deadlines
for submitting material to the engravers.
In order to meet the

Dr. Pepinksy's Electronic Computer
Nearing Completion At T Building
By J im Watson
A $97,000 physics project is n e a r i n g completion in t h e
A.P.I, physics laboratory. This project is an electronic comp
u t e r to be used in connection with x-ray crystallography
and will be of i n t e r n a t i o n a l concern.
I n a personal i n t e r v i ew with Dr. Ray Pepinksy, designer
of the computer, many interesting
facts were revealed. Dr. Pepin-sky
first thought of the idea for
the computer in March of 1946. As
soon as he had made complete designs
and diagrams, he presented
them to the U.S. Navy, and submitted
a bid to build the computer
for $97,000. One of the nations
leading electric manufacturers
predicted the project would
cost at least two mililon dollars;
however the Navy approved Dr.
Pepinsky's bid and work began
immediately in the Auburn physics
laboratory.
Two large rooms were occupied
in the "L" building and students
who had radio wiring experience
were recruited for the construction
of this job. Dr. Pepinsky was
amazed at the speed and efficiency
with which these students carried
out their work. The project
is nearing completion not only
ahead of schedule but is costing
$1000 less than expected.
NO MATTER THE
DAY!
Under a new policy at Burton's
you will get service Monday
through Saturday from 8
a.m. to 6 p.m.
We have staggered the working
hours of our employees in
such a manner that they will
not have to sacrifice their afternoon
a week off, yet can still offer
you the- ultimate in service
hours.
We invite you to call in at
any time for your regular or
special needs. In the event it is
an unusual item and not in
stock ask the clerk to make a
special order for you.
Seniors may come ih at any
time now to be measured for
their Caps and Gowns for graduation.
Burton's Bookstore
"Something New Every Day"
This economy was accomplished
by the students actually constructing
all of the transformers,
chokes, and other essential elements.
These Auburn manufactured
products are far more accurate
than expensive parts from electric
manufacturers would have been.
Students received pay from the
Navy for their skill in this precision
wiring.
Already, there have been many
visitors from foreign countries and
technical schools to appraise t he
computer.
The principle value of Dr. Pepinsky's
electronic devise lies in
the fact that x-ray crystallo-graphy_
calculations can be made
in the matter of a half hour,
whereas calculations without his
machine require from two months
to six years.
Dr. Pepinsky emphasized the
fact that this excellent work could
not have been turned out without
the aid of Auburn students who
were skilled in their electronic
work. Two rooms containing thousands
of electronic parts have
all been wired and tested by the
students themselves.
Art Students to Have

Tigers Out To Wreck Tech Saturday
Underdog Tigers Seeking First Wir
Over Jackets Since 1940 Victory
By Ronald Kuerner
Auburn will take a crack at the cream of the crop Saturday
when they tangle with the much-vaunted Georgia Tech
powerhouse in Atlanta.
Tech's undefeated squad will be a four touchdown favorite
over the cellar-dwelling Tigers, who have yet to win a
Southeastern Conference game. Tech, behind the masterful
coaching of Bobby Dodd, is rated
to finish on top of the heap m
the SEC, and has already turned
in two conference wins.
The Techmen polished off
third-ranked Vanderbilt by a
score of 13-0 and then turned
right around to eke out a 13-7
win over the Tulane Greenies.
In their latest engagement, the
Georgia Tech squad trampled
Washington and Lee, 27-0.
With Tech's main offense being
the Tigers' weakness, it is ex-

pected that Coach Earl Brown's
Auburnites should get plenty of
work on their, pass defense, which
has been shajky.
In view of last year's showing
against the Techmen, many believe
.that the Tigers should be
able to hold them fairly well. The
Tigers, rated much lower, showed
surprising strength last year in
holding to a 27-7 win.
Auburn, down though not out
after last week's 19-6 defeat at the
hands of Florida, still has hopes,
of turning in what would be a
major upset. Auburn has not
beaten Tech since 1940 when they
turned in a 16-7 victory.
With more and more talent
showing up as the season progresses,
things aren't quite as
gloomy as they are made out to
be. Coach Browh has uncovered
quite a yard-gaining combination
in the Inman to Pyburn pqss
combination and that along with
the ever present threat of Travis
Tidwell, should be enough to at
least keep Tech from running
away with the game.
Brown's squad is in good physical
shape after the Florida game
and at last count trie team should
be at full strength.
Alabama Included In
Cross-Country Foes
The cross-country team, after
ten days practice, is getting into
shape for its, as yet unannounced,
schedule. It is known, however,
that Alabama will be on the list.
Coach Beard said that the team
will be approximately the same
as last year with the exception
of Carley. He also said that this
should; be Whitey Overton's big

Outplay Bulldogs
In Winning 14-13
Although winning by only one
point, 14 to 13, Auburn's freshman
football team completely
out-classed a fighting Georgia
team in winning its first game of
the season here last Friday.
The first half of the ball game
was slowed down by seven fumbles,
five of which were made by
Auburn. The Tigers, who led in
first downs eight to five, drove
into Georgia territory several
times only to be turned badk by
fumbles.
Auburn's first score came in
the first quarter when Bill Tucker
carried the ball over from the
three after a long Auburn drive.
The Baby Tigers' last and winning
score came in the final four
minutes of play when Jim Brooks,
Auburn guard, blocked a Georgia
punt and fell on it in the end
zone for the score. Tucker con-vertad
both extra points.
Georgia's first score came in
the second period on a running
play which was set up by a pass.
Their final score came in the.
third period as the result of a
blocked kick.

Nylon owes its origin to a D u Pont
fundamental research project begun
in 1928. A group of scientists set out
to find out how and why the molecules
of certain substances polymerized
to form giant chainlike molecules.
Hope of obtaining a new commercial
fiber was first aroused when,
two years later, a polymer was developed
which could be drawn out
into a thin strand, like taffy candy.
The complex problems which followed
called for the services of over
200 D u Pont men and women, among
whom were>some of America's most
competent scientists and engineers.

By 'Gators 16-9
Auburn was handed its first
loss of the season Saturday as the
Florida 'Gators drove to touchdowns
early in the first and third
periods to capture their first SEC
game since 1945, 16-9.
With both sides playing grimly
to a 7-7 tie at the end of the first
half, Florida scored what proved
to be the game-winning points
early in the second half and then
held the Tigers at bay for the remainder
of the game.
Florida appeared to have Auburn
almost in a rout in the
early minutes of the game, as the
'Gators drove to a touchdown in
11 plays. However, the Tigers
came right back to knot the count
at 7-7 when Travis Tidwell tossed
a pass for 41 yards and a
touchdown to Erskine Russell.
After Florida had scored its
second touchdown, Russell blocked
a 'Gator punt and scored an
automatic safety as the ball rolled
back over the goal and was covered
by a Florida man. In the closing
minutes of the game, Tidwell,
desperately trying passes,
was caught behind his own goal
line, and Florida got another two
points.

In the Telephone business
...for 21 years!
"It may seem like a long time to you . . . but to me it's
just like yesterday that I started.
"Guess that's because it's always been interesting...
always so many phases of the business to learn...
always something different and vital to do.
"Right now I'm one of 125,000 men and women who
have been in telephony for 21 years or more. They call
us the 'Telephone Pioneers of America.'
"I've seen the telephone industry come a long way—
improving methods, developing new means of communications,
constantly growing. But in many fields
we've hardly scratched the surface; we're still pioneering.
The future is full of challenges, and opportunities!"
