Blood Testing Set
For February 28
By Doolie Piichelt
Blood testing will begin on the
campus February 28, and before
the State health department
winds up its program here March
11, every Auburn student, faculty
and administrative staff member
will have submitted to the needle.
But take it from Dr. John T.
Strickland, director of student
health service . . . the needle is
nothing to worry about.
In an interview with a Plains­man
reporter, Dr. Strickland ad­vised
that State health depart­ment
nurses will draw all of the.
blood in this testing program1
which is being'carried out at the
same time in all sections of Lee
county.
' Dr. Strickland .explained the
process by which the blood is
taken. First a tourniquet is tied
around the upper arm. Then the
ai ea where the needle is to be in­serted
is cleaned with alcohol. A
sterile needle is then attached to
'«'^lta^1HStifef%fe*'th1s needle is in^
•serted through the. skin into
one of the large veins in the arm.
The blood will run through the
needle and into the tube until
about six of eight c.c.'s have been
withdrawn.
"It's a very simple and speedy
procedure and really doesn't hurt
a bit," Dr; Strickland assured. He
explained that the nurses to be
assigned here have drawn thou­sands
of blood specimens. On nu­merous
occasions they have taken
more than 800 samples of blood in
a single day.
Soon students will receive a
postal card advising them of the
appointed time and place to ap­pear
for a blood test. Health of­ficials
say they should be no more
alarmed over having a blood test
for syphilis than they- would be
at having their throats swabbed
when they have a cold.-
The Jest' Will Open
Monday Night In Y Hut
"The Jest," the quarter's second
presentation by the Auburn Play­ers,
will open Monday night at
8:15 o'clock in the Y Hut.
The play, a melodrama of ren­aissance
Florence by Sem Benelli,
will feature Lamar Rainer, Mar-jorie
Shores and Robert Black­burn
in the leading roles. It was
directed by Telfair B. Peet.

to head an emergency com­mittee
to raise money for the
students who had incurred losses
in the fire at the barracks. He
reported that different organiza­tions
had -been very helpful in
contributing money,, a u d i t was

Auburn Plays Florida Tomorrow Night;
Meets Bulldogs In Game Here Saturday
A u b u r n ' s basketball t^eam plunges back intol SEC compe­t
i t i on this, week, playing two conference games at the sports
arena. Tomorrow night' t h e Tigers get a crack at the Florida
five, and on Saturday night the Plainsmen will e n t e r t a i n the
University of Georgia Bulldogs. Blue student activity books
will be used for the Florida game
and orange books for the Georgia
encounter.
Auburn will be seeking re­venge
in both of these games,"
having lost previous encounters to
both teams. Florida gave Au­burn
its worst conference defeat
of the 1949 season in an earlier
game, 61-45, while Georgia edged
out,the Tigers, 55-52.
Leading the Alligators will be
three very dangerous men. At
center is Hans Taenzler, a big,
rugged man who is capable of
playing very fine ball. After a
great season last year, he has
been a big disappointment for
the Floridians this season.
The other two men who will
bear close watching are Miller
and Atkinson. It was Miller who
gave Auburn so much trouble in
ithe early game between these
two teams. "-
Coach "Sug" Jordan will bring
a fast-improving, Georgia five .
into town for the Saturday night
contest. Using a fast-break of­fense
similar to Tulane and Ken­tucky,
Georgia has in recent
games defeated Georgia Tech,
Florida and Mississippi State.
Leading the Bulldog attack will
be Bob Healy, a Long Island, New
York boy, who is a deadly shot
from way out. At center will be
Schloss, one of the top scorers
for the 'Dogs, and at guard Joe
Jordan, a little man with a lot
of drive.
Starting for the Tigers against
these two foes will probably,toe
Lynn and Mobberly at forwards,
Nixon at center, and Brawner
and McAfee at guards. Don Lan-ford,
injured in the Troy game,
fs expected to be ready to get
back into action by the Georgia
game.

Local Radio Station
Joins New Network
A new radio network service
was inaugurated in East Ala­bama
Monday morning, accord­ing
to Elmer G. Salter, station
manager of radio station WAUD.
• The Associated Broadcasting
Service, a new network of 23
Alabama r a d i o stations, will
broadcast its programs through
the facilities of WBRC-FM in
Birmingham. WBRC-FM is said
to be one of the most powerful
radio stations in the world,
broadcasting with an effective
radiated power of 546,000 watts.
ABS programs will be picked up
by affiliated stations and re-broadcast
through their regular
AM transmitters.
Radio Station WAUD in Au­burn
will air ABS programs.
Salter said further that the
Associated Broadcasting Service
will make it possible for many
independent stations in Alabama
to offer high quality radio pro­grams
of network calibre to their
listeners.
Governor James E. Folsom
made the dedicatory address over
the ABS network Monday morn­ing.
Other prominent Alabama
citizens also spoke. Among these
were Mayor Cooper Green of
Birmingham and City Commis­sioner
Eugene "Bull" Conner of
Birmingham. Music for the dedi­catory
program was furnished by
the Harrison Cooper orchestra.

We must pass
pretty stiff exams, too
Not only the steel we use must pass a rigid t e s t . ;;
We have a "board of examiners" which tests the merits
of all the operations of our company.
That "board" consists of our employes, our customers, and
our stockholders—the three groups which have a primary
interest in our business.
We believe it is to the benefit of the entire social order that
we operate our company in the best interests of these three
groups. And they give us some^pretty tough quizzes from
time to time.
We believe our customers deserve, the very best product
we can manufacture at the lowest possible price. Our em­ployes
are entitled to steady employment, good working
conditions, and the highest possible income consistent with
the economics of the business. Our stockholders should have
a reasonable return on the capital they invest in our business.
Our constant purpose is to maintain a fair balance between
these three groups.
In every college community in the country, one or more
of these groups is represented. How well do our principles
work out in practice?
TAKE EMPLOYES. In the last six years, the number of IH*
employes has increased from 60,000 to 90,000—an increase
of 30,000 jobs. In the same period, the average straight
time hourly earnings of our factory employes have in­creased
92.6%.
TAKE CUSTOMERS. Last year we produced more goods and
services than ever before. Customers benefited from the fact
that our margin of profit on sales was one-third less than
in 1941.
TAKE STOCKHOLDERS. They have had fair return on the
savings they have invested in bur Company. Dividends on
common stock last year are equivalent to 5% on the book
value, as compared with 4% in 1941.
TAKE THE COMPANY. Last year we had profits, after taxes,
of 5}4 cents from each dollar of sales. We believe most people
regard this as a reasonable rate of profit.
We know it is our continuing ability to earn a reasonable
profit that has made it possible for International Harvester
in the past year to serve more people—customers, employes,
and stockholders —in greater measure than ever before.
Profits mean progress for everyone.
We hope to be able to continue this record with each suc­ceeding
year in the future.
Disabled Veterans
Pay Rates Listed
By Jim Hearn
This is the first of a series of
articles about veterans benefits.
The series is designed to replace
the rumors, which are circulating
about the campus, with facts. A
digest of the benefits can be ac­quired
by clipping and saving
these articles.
To be eligible for these bene­fits,'
the veteran's disability must
be shown to result from disease
or injury incurred in, or aggra­vated
by, active military'or na­val
service in line of duty, and
the veteran's discharge must be
under other than dishonorable
conditions.
Rates of payment in' wartime
cases are based on multiples of
10 per cent degree of disability
as determined by the Veterans
Administration. The payments
range from $13.80 per month to
$138 per month, the latter for 100
per cent disability.
Additional amounts are pay­able,
such as $42 for the loss of
a foot, hand, or eye. Helpless­ness,
blindness, multiple ampu­tations
and similar severe dis­abilities
carry rates of payment
from $240 to $360 per month.

Southern Progress
Last week the Tuskegee Institute re­leased
its annual report on lynching, and
the South in general and Georgia in par­ticular
can take little pride in the statistics.
The two definitely established cases of
lynching during 1948 took place in this
state, one involving a white mail ahd one
a Negro. Nineteen other persons were
threatened by mob violence during the
year, all in Southern states.
That these conditions are deplorable
goes, of course, without saying, arid the
further damning of them is of little value
as far as thinking persons are concerned;
But dismal as the picture may apjjeatf,
it is not Without its brighter side. Wheft
one1 considers that as recently as 1921 there
Were 67 lyiichings in a year, arid, that in
1901 there were i30, it is obvious that the
South has come a long way irt its attitude
toward the crime. Another facet of the
situation that is encouraging ip the fact
that in at least seven instances,' lynchings
were prevented by officers of the laW;
On the whole the report is encouraging
and lends support to the hope that lynch­ing
will soon disappear completely from
the South.
Certain it is < that the progress made
along these lines leaves little substantial
ground for the advocators of anti-lyhch
legislation to stand oh. The report indicates
that the South is solving the problem her­self.
Hating and fearing such legislation as
she does, the South's most potent weapon
against it is the continued" solving of the
problem. The question presents its Chal­lenge
as well as its brighter side.
—The Red and Black.
Grant-ln-Aid
The recently activated research grant-in-
aid fund comes as a definite step toward
a better Auourn. Faculty rnenibers engaged
in reseaf ch have always beeft hampered by
a lack of funds. With this new program,
however, many teachers at Auburn may
continue to undertake research Work with
the assurance of this fund behind them.
Results of research made possible by
this grant-in-aid program are going* to
mean a better and more complete educa­tion
for the students. For it is through re­search
that teachers expand their own
abilities and broaden the scope of their
particular fields.
Auburn has already become a growing
center for research in many different stu­dies.
The work in process now is gaining
more and more attention in educational
circles throughout the South. And now
with the grant-in-aid fund an actuality,
Auburn begins to resemble a university in
fact if not in name.
At Last Henry V
At last Auburn is going to get to see a
Shakespearian film. The management of
the War Eagle theater has booked Henry V
for February 23 and 24. It will run about
two and a half hours and will be offered
as continous showings.
This will be a chance for,the student
body to see a good movie ahd one based
on the exploits of a man whose life was a
little more exciting than that of a gravel
voiced jazz singer or a mediocre song
writer. The price will be 66 cents for stu­dents
and $1.32 for others.
In view of the recent intramural de­bates
on the pertinent subject of existing
campus election . regulations, the student
executive cabinet has buckled down to
work. They began by appointing a com­mittee,
composed of members of the stu­dent
executive cabinet, to look into the
matter—a perfect parliamentary proced­ure.
On latest reports the investigation is
proceeding with all of the thoroughness
and speed of a federal Congressional in­vestigation.
The committee got off on the right foot
by writing to "all major southeastern col­leges"
for copies of 'their respective con­stitutions.
These collected constitutions
will be studied and compared with Au­burn's.
It seems like the old policy of let's not-do-
anything-on-oUr-own; — let's-wait-and-see-
what-the-others-have-done is being
manifested again. Or perhaps the whole
thing is just a delaying action, a rear guard
action, until after the approaching elec­tions
are over.
If this latter supposition is correct, then
the whole thing seems more silly than
pathetic. Changes m election regulations,
ahd the elections themselves, are going to^
have to come about at Auburn if we are
to keep up the pretense of being a modern
educational institution.
The sooner these necessary changes are
effected, the better off we will be. So for
once, at least, let's forget about what some­one
else has dorie and do a little something
on our own.
Student Salaries . . .
The publications board will meet in two
Weeks to qualify those students who wish,
to run in the spring quarter elections for
business manager and editor of both the
Plainsman and Glomerata.
So that students may be acquainted with
the salaries of these elective offices, the
following information is published.
The editor of the Plainsman is paid on
a page basis. He received $12.50 for a four-page
issue, $17.50 for a six-page issue, and
$20 for eight-pages and over. He is respon­sible
for all editorial copy that is publish­ed
in the newspaper.
The business manager of the Plainsman
is paid on the basis of advertising collect­ed.
He receives 15 per cent of each dollar
on all collected advertising. On the basis
of 600 inches of advertising for an ei^ht-page
issue, 400 inches for a six-page issue,
and 200 inches for a four-page issue, his
salary is $34, $22, or $12 respectively, de­pending
on the size of the issue. For a 12
page issue, if the maximum of 1000 inches
of adds is procured, the business manager
is paid $57. He is responsible for the fi­nancial
work involved in publishing the
paper. x
The Editor of the Glomerata is on a
salary which carries a bonus clause. He is
paid '$600 a year and he receives a $300
bonus if he meets all of his deadlines .with
the printer and engraver. It is his duty to
make the layouts for the yearbook and he
is also responsible for all editorial copy.
The business manager of the Glomerata
is paid on the percentage basis. He re­ceives
12% per Cent of the money collected
on all commercial advertising., organiza­tions,
fraternities and sororities. If all bills
'are collected, the business manager of the
1949 Glomerata will make $1344 for his
work. He is responsible for ah advertising
and financial matters of the publication.
There are other paying offices on both,
publications, but the editors and business
managers appoint their staffs at their own
discretion.
The salaries paid to each individual are
set up by the publications board with
furids for salaries being taken from stu­dent
activity fees.
Letters To The Editor
A greater number of letters to the
editor have been received in the past
month than at ahy other time during the
past year. The Plainsman encourages stu­dents
to write their complaints or criticism
for publication in this newspaper.
We will print any letter received as long
as no libel or unrefined language is used
by the author. Letters must be signed by
the author and we are not allowed to print
letters with names withheld.
Through letters, students can best voice
their opinions. The Plainsman does not al­ways
give the opinion of all individuals in
its editorials. Through letters, everyone's
views can be shown.

watched the play.in rehearsal'several times and can agree
that it is full of "sensation, fury and violence." . .
The Jest, by Sem Benelli, takes place in renaissance Italy
and manages to capture all of the
Sharpe
fury and violence of a vendetta
which could and probably did
take place in Florence under the
rule of Lorenzo the Magnificent.
Despite the name Jest, the play
is not a comedy. It is a tragedy.
The plot develops out of two Fi-san
mercenary soldiers', Neri and
his brother Ga-briello,
treat­ment
or rather
| maltreatment of
I a young artist,
Gianetto. Cir-
| cumstance adds
jto the plot by
{ h a v i n g Neri
! purchase Gia-i
netto's beloved,
i the daughter of
a fishmonger—a
girl named Gi-nevra,
for only 30 ducats. Reso­lution
of the plot comes with the
revenge of Gianetto on both Neri
and his brother Gabriello.
The Jest has been excellently
cast. The pert of Gianetto is be­ing
played by Lamar Ralner
while Robert Blackburn and Jack
Seay portray the Pisan brothers
Neri and Gabriello. "Neri's doxy
Ginevra is played by Marjorie
Shores. Others in the cast in­clude:
Jim Masey, as Tornaquinci
the innkeeper; Anne Smythe, as
Cintia the maid; Basil Cimino, as
Fazio the servant; Rowena Kidd,
and Kitty Bartee, as Lucretiza
and Fiametta, two women from
Neri's past; Carol Dorrough, as
Lisabeta the young girl who falls
in love with Neri.
Tommy Malone, as the doctor;
Earl Blakely, as Lapo the serv­ant;
Ethel Tatum, as Calandra;
Dick Mackoy, as the lieutenant;
Arnold Liles, as Nencio; Lloyd
Lancaster, as Camus; Robert Nix­on,
as the executioner.
Staging any play in the Y Hut
presents a number of problems,
but staging The Jest presented
one which had not been encount­ered
up until now. Neri, in one
scene, must be brought up from
a dungeon which is under the
floor. Now considering the ex­treme
longevity of the Y Hut, it
might not be inconceivable that
a dungeon does exist under its
floor. Albeit, the problem of get­ting
an entrance to-the dungeon
was solved by cutting a trap door
in the stage which went down to
the floor.
Down into this cavern descend
the executioner and the doctor
to retrieve the unfortunate Neri
. . . a total of three people in­cluding
two six footers. They
must of necessity remain there
for some time before emerging.
Since the distance from the floor
of the Y Hut to the floor of the
stage is only about three and a
half feet, the three people in the
dungeon must stretch out on tht
floor. But they are not alone.
The permanent residents of the Y
Hut, several generations of mice,
resent the intrusion and have to
be held at bay by a flashlight.
Another interesting sidelight
on the production of the Jest was
the fact that Gianetto is called
upon to sing a madrigal in the
first act. The words were there
but there was no music. This
problem was turned over to Pro­fessor
Hubert Liverman, of the
music department. He read the
play over carefully and wrote the
melody for the madrigal in keep­ing
with the spirit of the play.
The madrigal will be siing twice
during the performance—once by
Gianetto and once by a troubador
who is heard but not seen (Dr.
Hollaee E. Arment).
t h e Jest will have aflotheT sig­nificance
in that it will be the last
appearance of Robert Blackburn,
president of the Auburn Players,
who will- graduate this qtiarter.
In his role of Neri, he is called
upon to act with the same in­tensity
and emotion as he was in
"Oedipus the King:" And, as al­ways,
he distinguishes himself
with a realistic' and polished per­formance:
Now taking all of these things
into account. What better way
could YOU spend next Monday
night than at the opening of the
Auburn Players presentation of
The Jest?

Auburn's placement bureau is
doing quite a job of helping the
graduates find work, but there is
one position which opened up re­cently
which the bureau doesn't
have on its list. I heard of the
job opportunity through a friend
of mine* who was given an offer.
Unfortunately, he had to turn it
down, although he believes he
could carry it off very nicely. Be­ing
a generous, bfg hearted sort of
person, he asked ,me if I would
pass the word along in the hope
that there would be someone
around Auburn qualified for the
position and willing to give it a
try. Here's the letter he received
last week.
Dear Frie/id,
Perhaps you have .heard of me
and my nation-wide campaign
in the cause* of temperance.
Each year for the past fourteen
years fc have-made a tour in the
state of Alabama and also in the
state of Georgia, and delivered a
serious series of lectures upon- the
evils of strong drink.
On these tours I have been ac­companied
by my friend and as­sistant,
Herman Forstall. Herman
is a pathetic case. A young man
of good'family and excellent back­ground,
his life was ruined be­cause
of excesive indulgence in
whiskey, gin, rum, and beer.
How much better it would have
been if he had turned to the Lord
instead.
Herman would appear with me
at my lectures and sit on the plat­form
drooling at the mouth arid
staring out at the a u d i e n ce
through bleary, bloodshot eyes,
while I would point him out as
an example of what drink would
do.
Unfortunately, last fall poor
Herman died. A mutual friend has
given me your name, and I wonder
if you would care to accompany
me on the Spring tour and take '
poor dear Herman's place.
Faithfully yours,
Rev. G. P. Burdell
Now, offers like this one don't
come along every day. It is a fine
opportunity f6r some red blooded
young all-American boy, and I
expect the Rev. Burdell has al­ready
been swamped by eager ap­plicants.
However, if there is any­one
here at Auburn who would
like to have the position I will be
glad to turn your letter of appli­cation
over to my friend for for­warding
to Rev. Burdell.
Surely there is at least one Au­burn
graduate or undergraduate
who can measure up to the rigid
standards set forth in the letter.
He: "Are you afraid of the big,
bad wolf?"
. She: "No, why?"
He: "That's funny, the other
three pigs were.".

A long-suffering diner noted
that his coffee was served with­out

"This coffee," he remarked
pointedly, "is going to be pretty

A short time later the waiter

cup of coffee.
"Maybe this isn't so hot, sir/'
he said.

Letters to the Editor
Within the past few weeks I
have noticed a sudden increase in
the condemnation of wheels. I rea­lize
that it is human nature to
criticize and poke fun at any­body
who succeeds where we have
failed, but I feel that much of this
criticism has been malicious and
unjustifiable.
Concerning the question of keys,
I would like to point out that keys
do not make a wheel; neither do
all wheels have keys. A man is a
wheel (because of the service lie
renders to his community, not be­cause
of the keys on his chain.
Any keys that he may receive are
only an inadequate form of recog­nition
for his hard work.
There are wheels in all fields of
life. In the business world, the
wheel is the man who assumes a
prominent position of leadership
and service. He heads the civic
clubs, acts as chairman in charity
drives, and serves on important
municipal committees. He is a
wheel because of his leadership
and initiative, and because he uses
these assets for the betterment of
his community.
Wheels in the collegiate activi­ties
are no different from those we
find in the business world. A man
is not a wheel at Auburn through
mutual consent. He is a wheel be­cause
he heads the various clubs
and fraternities, publishes our
yearbook, prints our newspapers,
edits our magazines, and conducts
our student government. He de­serves
the thanks, not the con­demnation,
of our student body.
He is one of the chief reasons that
Auburn is more than a mere
brain factory, but is instead a
real training ground for leader­ship,
personality, and character.
Most of the wheels at Auburn
were elected to their positions be­cause
the students had faith in
their leadership and ability. If
these wheels are not good men, it
is a reflection upon the judgment
Of every student who voted for
them and every student who fail­ed
to vote against them. Since
wheels are necessary, it is up to
the student body to elect capable
men.
Judging from the amount of
criticism which has been printed
lately, there , a r e undoubtedly
many students who believe that
our wheels have stopped rolling.
There are two plans of action open
to these students. Most of them
will continue to sit on their assets
and criticize all of Our wheels,
despite the fact that no possible
good can result from such a course.
I hope, however, that those stu­dents
who are more vehement in
their objections to our wheels will
adopt the wiser plan and become
a wheel themselves. In that way
they can be assured of a more ef­ficient
class of wheels. Then and
only then will they be satisfied
with our present system.

Dear Editor:
Much speculation for charge of
cashing checks has been going oh
in Auburn. Perhaps these letters
Will let the students/know the
whole story.
To "the Federal Reserve Bank

Dear Sirs:
Could you tell us what is the
legal charge for cashing veter­ans
subsistance checks. In Au­burn
we would like a notarized
statement from you.
Sincerely,
James Phillips
- Sidney Fleming
Billy Kingery
Dear Mr. Phillips:
We have your letter of 31
January, 1949 addressed to the
Federal Reserve Bank of At­lanta.
I know of no law which
fixes a definite amount as a
maximum charge that can be
made by the bank for cashing
a veterans subsistance check.
The charge made by the bank
for cashing a check drawn on
another bank or another drawee
such as the Treasurer of the
United States is generally
known as a "collection" charge.
With respect to such a charge
section 360 title 12 U.S.C.A.,
provides that "nothing herein
contained shall be construed as
prohibiting a member bank
from charging its actual ex­penses
occurred in collecting
and remitting funds." This sec­tion
is part of the Federal Re­serve
Act being paragraph 14
of section 1(5 thereof. All banks
are urged to handle at par
checks drawn on the Treasury
of the United States, but to my
knowledge there is no law
Which would prohibit them
from charging a reasonable
amount for cashing add collect­ing
such checks.
Very truly yours,
Harold Patterson
General Counsel
We hope that these letters will
clear up some of the Misunder­standings
in the minds of the stu­dents.
Sincerely yours,
Jim Phillips
It is high time that Auburn
started thinking in terms of re­turning
to the semester syestem.
The quater system, instigated as
a war-time measure, had its ad­vantages
in speeding up the cur­riculum
by allowing a student to
do four years work in three years.
But that's all over now, and if
Auburn is to make the progress, it
is capable of making in the field
of education, it must return to the
semester system.
The biggest complaint from the
students will be that Saturday
classes will be necessary, and
there is bound to be a flurry of
complaint heaped upon my head
for even suggesting such a change,
but I firmly believe that such a
move is mandatory at this time.
Under the semester system, the-work
is stretched over a long-
' er period of time, therefore allow­ing
the work to soak in more
slowly and permanently. College
and education might be defined
as the growth of a man's mind,
and a man's mind can't grow on
a five-day week schedule. Under
the present system, a student
hardly gets to know his profes­sor
before the quarter is over and
other courses are started.
By meeting a class every day,
a student is forced to put time on
every subject every night. This
not only makes learning a choppy
process, but it leads to laxness,
both on the part of the professor
and the student.
As far as going to classes on
Saturday, I am in favor of it.
Some students work on the week­ends
and the change might work
a hardship on them, but those
persons who feel that they must
go home each week shouldn't be
going to college at all. They
should go to a good trade school.
It's over the week-ends that eg
person gets to know his fellow*
students. Social contacts are just
as important as book learning,
and by staying in Auburn over
the Week-ends such contact is
possible. Let's get away from
this foolishness of five days per
week college and make a full
time job of iL

Four Laymen Participate In Talks
During Religious Emphasis Services
By Phyllis Stough
You don't have to be a preacher to know God, and to be
a success in the world.
In addition to the evening services being sponsored by
the churches this week, day-time services are being conduct­ed
by outstanding laymen, men who have put God first in
their lives.
Dr. Spright Dowell, former
president of Auburn and now
president of Mercer University,
spoke Monday on the subject,
"Facing and Fashioning* Life."
Doctor Dowell had the honor of
being the first to speak in the re­modeled
Baptist church Sunday.
Significantly, Doctor Dowell was
chairman of the building commit­tee
which supervised the con­struction
of the original church
building. Remodeling 'was felt
necessary to take care of the larg­er
membership of the church and
the large number of students who
attend.
"Religion in an Atomic World
—Why?" was the topic for Har-wood
C. Bowman Tuesday. Mr.
Bowman is a retired army officer,
having served all grades from
second lieutenant to brigadier
general.
A veteran of both World Wars,
General Bowman holds the Dis­tinguished
Service Medal, Legion
of Merit, Bronze Star Medal,
Army Commendation Ribbon and
the Chinese Republic, Cloud and
Banner, Army, Navy • and Air
Corps Distinguished Service
Medal.
Henry Morris Edmonds, author
of The Way, The Truth. The
Life, will speak tomorrow from
9:10 until 10 a. m. in Lang-don
hall on the subject, "Religion
in the Present Crisis." A former
Presbyterian minister, Dr. Ed­monds
is now with the Birming­ham
Social Hygiene Association.
The speaker Friday from 10:10
until 11 a. m. will be Dr. William
J. Hutchins, director of Danforth
Foundation. His subject will be
"Can We Hope To Handle Life?".
Like Dr. Dowell, Dr. Hutchins
has been a college president, hav­ing
served as president of Berea
College, Ky., from 1920 to 1939,
and like Dr. Edmonds, he is also
a former Presbyterian minister.

"The ROTC units in colleges
are doing a fine job of turning out

country for any future emer­gency,"
declared Brig. Gen. James
B. Crawford, AA (retired), at the
Caisson Club banquet February
18 at the Casino.
Dick Lowther, president of the
club, presided as master of cere­monies.
Before General Craw­ford
spoke, Col. George M. Wil­liamson
gave an informal talk in
behalf of the staff of the ROTC
department. Dr. Hollace Arment
of the music department led the
club in several songs.
Serving as an example of the
worth that ROTC. units are con­tributing
to the national safety,
General Crawford stated that the
officers who fought in World War
I were trained in 90 days. Today,
the reserve officer who comes out
of college has had four years
training in his field of endeavor
and can readily be placed and em­ployed
efficiently by the army.
After dinner, Colonel William­son
stressed the importance of the
Caisson Club in developing excite­ment
and esprit de Corps among
the artillerymen on the campus.^.
General Crawford served in the
army for 39 years before retiring.
He is a graduate of West Point
where he taught at one time. The
general is now a member of the

Mascagnfs T'avalleria Rusticana'
Will Offer Evening's Entertainment
/By Mac Farrior >•
"Cavalleria Rusticana", an.opera by Pietro Mascagni,
will be presented February 22 and 23 in Langdon Hall at
8:15 p.m. The opera is to be performed by an all-Auburn
cast with Hollace E. Arment as production manager.
The setting is a Sicilian village and the time is Easter
Sunday late in the 19th century.
"Cavalleria Rusticana," or "Rus­tic
Chivalry," is a tale of love and
murder with a note of blood ven­geance.
The opera is in two
scenes and is sung in Italian.
Santuzza, the leading character,
is portrayed by Joan Manley, so-prand.
Edgar Evans, baritone,
plays the role of Alfio; Turiddu
by Hollace E. Arment, tenor; Lola
by Mrs. John Self, and Mama Lu­cia
by Shirley Braswell.
The curtain opens with San­tuzza
deserted and friendless
since her lover, Turiddu, has left
her for Alfio's wife, Lola. Turid­du
is a returned soldier Lola had
promised to marry on his home­coming.
Lola breaks her promise
and marries Alfio during Turid-du's'
absence. Back home Turid-.
du consoles himself with San­tuzza
but carries on a secret love
affa.ir with Lola during her hus­band's
absence.
As a portion of the prelude,
Turiddu sings a love song in
praise of Lola's lips as a crowd,
of villagers gather for prepara­tions
for the Easter Sunday cele­bration
and enters the church.
Santuzza comes on the stage call­ing
Turiddu's mother, Lucia, and
demanding the whereabouts of
Turiddu.' Lucia tells Santuzza
that Turiddu is away, but San­tuzza
insists that she saw him
lingering near Lola's house.
Just as Santuzza is about to
reveal the truth, Alfio returns
from one of his trips. Alfrio asks
for a glass of wine and Lucia tells
him she has none but Turiddu has
gone to Francofante for a supply.
Alfrio swears this is not true be­cause
he has just seen Turiddu
near his house.
Lucia demands the truth and
Santuzza reveals the secret in her
aria "Voi lo Sapete." Hearing the
scandal, Lucia goes to church to
pray for her children.
A violent scene ensues between'
Turiddu and Santuzza. When
Lola enters Santuzza quarrels
with her, casting insinuations.
Lola shrugs them off. Tiruddu,
angry with Santuzza, throws her
to the ground. She rises to her
knees and curses him as he runs
off. Alfio enters and Santuzza
tells him the whole story. He
swears 'to kill both the guilty
ones.
"The villagers enter the church
in a happy mood with Lola.
Turiddu soon follows. He pro­poses
a toast as he sings "Brindi-si,"
or "Drinking Song." Alfio
enters and Turiddu offers him
wine but Alfio refuses. Turiddu
senses that Alfio knows the truth
and challenges .him. Turiddu
publicly acknowledges his wrong
and tells Alfio that he will meet
him at the appointed place for the
duel.
Turiddu asks his mother's
blessings and a pledge that she
will always care for Santuzza.
The opera closes with a scream
and a woman rushes in to cry
that Turiddu has been murdered.
The violence of the scenes is
sharply contracted by the serene
and beautiful Intermezzo which
portrays the calm of Easter.

Independent Basketball Hears Windup;
Navy Blues, ROTC Score Surprise Win
* By Wayne McLaughlin
The Zippers and A Club, two of the toughest independent
teams on the campus, were idle last week, but league play
saw most of the other teams in action trying to advance
their positions in league standings. With only two weeks of
regular season play remaining, the games are getting rough
and hotly contested, with each —— •

team jockeying for its respective
league title and the right to play
in the independent tournament.
The Foresters pulled no punch­es
in trouncing the Fumbles
32-11, and Carlson, Forest center,
racked up 10 points for his team.
Maddox led the Fumbles with 6
markers. The Foresters entire
squad of ten men saw action, and
all but one broke into the scor­ing
column.
In a rough, low-scoring tilt, the
Eagles, led by center Draper and
forward Adcock, who sank seven
and six points respectively, de­feated
the Ringers 20-16. The
Ringers, paced by forward Kelly
with six points, trailed 13-6 at
the half but came back strong to
make things interesting for the
Eagles.
The ROTC continued its win­ning
ways by edging the Raiders
49-42 in a high-scoring thriller.
Four men accounted for every
ROTC point. Castleman and
Shaddix led the ROTC scoring
parade with 15 markers each,
and Hutchins and Hamby, with
11 and 8, accounted for the rest.
Lawley sank 14 counters for the
Raiders, and Lillian and Barnes
added 10 each.
The Ringers avenged their loss
to the Eagles by trouncing the
Foresters 36-14. Kelly again
paced the Ringers, this time mak­ing
10 points, but he received 13
points worth of help in this game
f r o * center Mann. Byrd made 4
for the Foresters.
The Fumbles met with defeat
at the hands of the FFA, who
came out on the long end of a 40-
26 score. Weaver led the FFA with
12 points, and Andrews made 7
for the Fumbles.
The Navy Gold team lost a
thriller to the Boys, 29-28. Young,
with 12 points, took scoring hon­ors
for the Boys, and Garret,
Navy center, countered with a
similar number for his team.
The high-flying Dragons had
their unbeaten record obliterated
when the Navy Blues, paced by
Osborne with nine points and
Kempson and Taylor with eight
Play in the men's dormitory
basketball league last week saw
a variety of contests, including a
forfeit, a runaway, and two thrill­ers.
Division F won on a forfeit
when Section H failed to show
up. .*
Section C accounted for the
runaway w h e n they soundly
trounced Section G by a score of
58 to 6. McAdam, a guard, made
16 points for Section C, and Tow-ery
and Wells made 14 and 12 re­spectively.
Hotaling with 4 and
Stewart with 2 accounted for all
Section G markers.
Division B edged Division A 18
to 17 in a hotly contested duel.
Herbertson made 8 points for Di­vision
A to take individual scor­ing
honors, but it was not enough
to avert defeat. Daniel was high
point man for Section B with 16.
In the other game Section D
edged the Section E outfit 23 to
22. Smith led the Section D
scoring parade with 10 points,
and Herron paced the losers with
7.
each, eked out a 33-29 victory.
Trotter, Turner, and Lanier were
best for the Dragons, scoring
seven points each. The Blues,
not satisfied with their upset of
the Dragons, turned around to
add another victim to their list
last week, this time swamping the
War Eagles 41-17. This game saw
Kempson, a midshipman forward,
set the week's individual high
score mark by garnering 17
points. Bearden made 10 of the
War Eagle total.
In last weeks other game, AIO
took a 28-17 decision from the
Navy Golds. Austin led the AIO
effort with 8 points, and Garrett
contributed 7 markers to the Gold
total.

Three Days Of Basketball Play Remain
Before Interfrat Tournament Begins
By Bruce Greenhill
Hot competition was the motto in intrafraternity basket­ball
play last week as the teams struggled for the different
league titles. With only three days of play left, the heat is on
as the top teams in each league strive for the league lead and
a playoff berth. No loop title has been cinched, although
Lambda Chi of League II is sure
to get at least a first-place time.
Undefeated Phi Delta Theta,
League III leader, seems the most
likely to succeed out of the other
three loops.
Sigma Pi, which has already
finished its season with a record
of six wins and two losses, is
settled in first place in League I.
Theta Chi. and Sigma Chi who
met last night are the only fives
within striking distance and one
of them was eliminated mathe­matically
after last night's con­test.
The winner of this affair
must also win its next game. Sig­ma

Auburn Swimmers Ducked By Georgia;
Tankmen Enter Conference Tournament
By Wayne McLaughlin
The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Auburn swimmers by
a score of 60-14 last week at the Alumni Gym pool, but the
Tigers put on a whale of a show for the partisan audience.
The score indicates a swamping, but on the contrary, most of
the events were close thrillers. Several freshmen were in the
Tiger lineup, which caused the
the field and hit twice from the
line to total up 12 Lambda Chi
points. Fleming led SPE scoring
with a five point effort. In the
other game, Alpha Gamma Rho
pulled an upset by whipping top-seeded
Alpha Psi by a score of
32-22. The vets were minus the
services of star Lamar Moree and
missed his scoring and floor game
very much. Davis led the AGR
scoring with 13 points.
League III
KA led off the play in League
III with a smashing 61-16 win
over a hapless TKE five. KA
played everybody but the house­mother
as the scorekeeper ran
out of space to put points and
substitutions on the scoresheet.
Horton was KA high point man
with a total of 14 points. Steber
was the Teke's best with eight.
Phi Delta Theta won out in the
second game by edging Sigma Nu
38-37. Sellars topped the PDT
scoring with a total of 10 points.
In the next contest, Duck Thrash­er
and Phi Delta Theta humbled
TKE again, this time 48-4.
Thrasher racked up 23 points in
this tilt and raised his scoring
lead another notch. In the final
game, second-place Phi Kappa
Tau beat Kappa Alpha 24-18.
Lawley led PKT scoring with
nine and Granghan led KA
with eight.
League IV
In the initial contest, Phillips
meet to be held as an exhibition,
and also gave the visiting Geor­gians
an automatic first in each
evfent; The Tigers, according to
Coach Kruchoski, have possibili­ties
of becoming one of the best
teams in the SEC, and several
freshmen standouts, ineligible for
conference competition this sea­son
are expected to bolster the
squad considerably next year.
The Bulldogs placed first and
second in the 200-meter freestyle,
and Whittelsey came in third for
Auburn. Auburn's Clark' Yar-brough
outswam Georgia's ace
distance man in this event, but
Yarbrough, a freshman, w as
swimming in an exhibition capa­city
only.
Georgia tallied 8 more points
when they placed first and second
in the next event, the 50-meter
sprint. A Tiger came in third, but
the Bulldogs got another first and
second in the fancy diving event.
Again Auburn placed third.
Bob Gaither and T. W. Gordon
placed second and third in the
100-meter freestyle, and Gaither
missed first by inches. Gunn of
Auburn won the backstroke event,
and James Walker, another Tiger,
came in third. The Bulldogs an­nexed
first and second berths in
the 200-meter breaststroke, as
Russell of Auburn was disqualified
for an illegal turn. Dick Fisher,
an Auburn freshman, actually
placed second in this event.
Georgia took first and second in
the 400-meter freestyle, but
Auburn's Yarbrough, who won
the race by a comfortable margin,
was an ineligible freshman. The
meet ended when a Tiger relay
team composed _of Whittelsey,
Coffee, Gordon, and Gaither lost
to the Georgia team by a frac­tion
of a second.
The Atlanta YMCA cancelled
the meet with Auburn which was
to be held here Saturday, Feb. 12
at 8 p.m. for unknown reasons.
If the meet is not rescheduled, the
dual schedule for Coach Kru-kowski's
Tankmen ended with the
Georgia meet. The Tigers are now
concentrating their practice ef­forts
on the SEC Tournament
which will be held in Athens, Ga.,
and Johnson scored 14 and 10
points respectively in SAE's win
over Pi Kappa Phi. Cappell
scored five for PKP in the 33-17
loss. OTS won the next game
from the. Delta Sigs 46-31. Harris
with 14, and Burgess and Lang-ford
with 13 were the vet scor­ing
leaders. Srofe led DSP with
13 points.

Tigers' Spring Training Half Over;
Squads Set For Annual 'A' Day Game
•By Edwin Crawford
Having reached the halfway mark in their annual spring
training football drills, Coach Earl Brown's Auburn gridders
will soon begin work for the annual "A" Day game on March
5. The game between the two teams picked from the squad
of men who are'participating in spring workouts will be the
climax to the six weeks of prac
tice.
As the Tigers start their fourth
week of work, Coach Brown ex­pressed
satisfaction with the pro­gress
which the squad has made.
The introduction of the T forma­tion
has been the high spot in
the • drills thus far and Brown
said he was pleased with the pro­gress
which the team has made
in learning the new formation.
The outstanding work of sev­eral
newcomers has caught the
eye of the Tiger coaches in re­cent
drills. A number of boys
from the freshman team as well
as some transfer students have
shown promise in the workputs
last week.
Backs Randy Huddleston,
Bobby Golden, John Crolla, Bob
"Briggs, Bwight Hitt, and Harold
Turner have looked exceptionally
good in running from the T. All
six of these boys were members
of Coach John Williamson's fine
1948 frosh team.
Two other newcomers to the
Tiger varsity, Jim McGowen, full­back,
and Bill Davis," halfback,
have been demonstrating ability
in running with the Tiger backs.
McGowen is one of the better
punters on the squad, while Davis
has been very impressive in the
ball carrying department.
Coach Brown continues to look
for a number one quarterback to
handle the T for the Tigers next

Win One, Lose One
/ By Spud Wright
Auburn's freshman basketball
team entered the final week of
its season by downing Camp Hill
High School on Thursday night
and losing to Valley High on Sat­urday
night.
The frosh rolled to an easy 55
to 19 victory over Camp Hill
Thursday night in the sports are­na.
The cubs held a 25 to 16 edge
at halftime and then came back
in the second half to score 30
vgiRre points while holding Camp
Hill to 3 points. Gene Hoehle with
16 points and Bill Walter with 10
points led the Auburn' attack
while Hamner paced the losers
with 10 points.
On Saturday night, the fresh­men
lost their third game of the
season to a fast Valley High team,
37 to 36. The frosh led 19 to 13
at the half and came back strong
in the opening minutes of the
third quarter to increase their
lead to 10 points. However, the
Valley team rallied in the final
quarter an dwon the game on a
field goal with less than a min­ute
remaining. Bill Waiter and
Gene Hoehle again led the Au­burn
scoring with 14 and 12 re­spectively.
Frazier was high point
man for Valley with 11 points.
The frosh ended their season
against Ensley High School in
Birmingham Monday night.

Tigers Topple Troy Teachers 69-44;

By Bob Ingram ',,
The Auburn .basketball team took a break from its rug­ged
SEC competition last week, meeting and defeating two
non-conference foes in games at the sports arena.
After knocking off'Troy State Teachers College with
comparative ease'on Wednesday night by a 69-44 count, the
Tigers were pushed to the limit
in downing a rangy Livingston

Tiger Wrestlers Beat Arkansas 18-14;
Meet Vanderbilt Here Friday Night
By Bob Ingram
The Auburn wrestling team opened its 1949 home schedule
Saturday night, scoring a thrilling 18-14 victory over a strong
Arkansas State College squad before an estimated crowd of
1000 enthusiastic fans. This was the sixth consecutive win for
Auburn's outstanding team.
Friday night in the sports arena Auburn fans will get
their second chance to see the
wrestlers in action when the Van­derbilt
matmen meet the Tigers in
a SEC dual meet. The first match
will get underway at 7:30 o'clock.
In the Saturday night encountw,
Auburn came from behind twice to
defeat the Arkansas State team.
Trailing 6-0 after the first two
matches, the Plainsmen came back
strong to pull into the lead on suc­cessive
falls' in the 136 and 145
po'und divisions.
Arkansas State regained the
lead briefly with a victory by
fall in the 155 pound class, but
again the Tigers took the lead,
this time to stay by gaining a fall
in the 165 pound class. State pull­ed
to within one point of the lead
by winning a decision in the 175
pound match, but the final match
was a victory by decision for Au­burn.
The first match of the evening
pitted Auburn's Jack Gray against
State's Palone in a 121 pound
match.
Palone scored a 3-1 decision
over Gray to put Arkansas out in
front. The Staters scored their se­cond
victory of the evening in the
128 pound class when a more ex­perienced
Durham, captain of the
State squad, outpointed Auburn's'
Sonny Dragoin in a close contest.
"Spider" McKenzie, Auburn's
The Troy game was witnessed
by one of the smallest crowds of
the 1949 season, and those who
stayed away can be thankful that
they did. The only display of
life on thp whole court was dem­onstrated
by a. little-but-loud
referee, and he had a sprained
ankle.
It was evident early in the
game that the much taller Au­burn
team could make the .score
what it pleased, and it was only
in the final minutes of play that
either team began to play with
any spirit at all.
Auburn led at halftime 31-20,
and boosted that lead to 41-20 be­fore
Troy could score in the sec­ond
half. Only the crack shoot­ing
of a substitute forward, Rid­dle,
kept Troy in the game.
Riddle led the scoring for the
night, making 18 points. Au­burn's
Nixon had 17 for his even­ing's
work, with Lynn and Mc­Afee
following him with 12 and
of the evening, pinning his foe in
2:16 minutes of the second round.

The Livingston game was
something else. Playing like a
different team than that which
looked so sluggish against Troy,
Auburn turned in one of their
best'performances of the season
in defeating a very strong Liv­ingston
five, 49-44.
The first half was a slam bang
affair, the lead changing hands
constantly. At one stage Livings­ton
moved to a 22-16 lead, but
Auburn fought back to tie the
score 24-24 at halftime.
Coach Doyle must have said
something to his boys during in-termisison,
for when they came
out for the second half they really
began to play. After -eight min­utes
of play Auburn led by 10
points, 38-28, and seemed well on
the way to victory.
The Teachers were down, but
not out. Led by little Ralph
Hamilton, they tied the ball game
up at 42-42 with but four minutes
remaining.
Auburn went back out in frQnt
on a basket and two free throws,
but Hamilton made it 46-44 with
a shot from the top of the circle.
With but seconds remaining Em-mett
McAfee made- a beautiful
driving shot to clinch the game
for the Plainsmen.
The entire Auburn team de­serves
praise for its fine play
against the big and rough Liv­ingston
team, but one man in
particular deserves special recog­nition.
Roy Brawner, Auburn's
captain, turned in one of the
finest individual performances
ever seen in the sports arena. Not
only did he keep the Tigers in
the ball game with his brilliant
shooting, but he played a superb
defensive game, holding the high-scoring
Ray Williams to only one
field goal.
Brawner led the scoring with
17, and Nixon hit for 9. For
the Teachers it was "ShortjK
Moore with /14 and Ralph Hamil
ton with 9.
suit with another victory by fall
for- the Plainsman, and Auburn
took the lead 10-6.
Arkansas State went back out
in front in the 155 pound bracket,
Wilson of State pinning Auburn's
Robin Baker in 1:25 minutes of the
third round.
Auburn's unbeaten Phil Smith
turned in the finest performance
of the evening, pinning his foe,
Lowery, in the unbelievable time
of 32 seconds of the first round. '
In the 175 pound class, State's
Bishop, a former Illinois State
champion, proved too strong for
Auburn's White-Spunner, out­pointing
him in a very close
match. *
Entering the final match of the
evening the score stood Auburn
15, Arkansas State 14,- with the
outcome of the meet depending on
the heavyweight r/iatch between
Auburn's Brnilovich and his much
heavier opponent, Larche. Brnilo­vich
turned in a brilliant perfor­mance
in outpointing his foe in a
bruising, thrilling struggle. Final
score, Auburn 18, Arkansas State
14.
Judging from • the enthusiasm
displayed by the crowd at the
meet, a capacity crowd is expected
to be on hand for the Friday night

Frank A. Albert Talks
To Forestry Society
The Silvanus Forestry Honora­ry
Society_helcT its quarterly din­ner
meeting on Tuesday evening,
February 8, at Alumni Hall. The
guest speaker was Frank A. Al­bert,
assistant regional forested
U. S. Forest Service, Region, 8;
Atlanta, who spoke on "Land
Management on the National Fo­rests."
Another guest of the society
was. Dr. E. Richard Toole, Division
of Forest Pathology, Appalachian
Forest Experiment Station, Ashe-ville,
N.C.
In discussing his'topic, Mr. Al­bert
stressed the need for preven­tive
and corrective measures,' in­cluding
correct forest and land
management on both private and
public lands,1 directed toward de­creasing
the annual losses caused
by floods and soil erosion.
Another phase of land manage­ment
brought out by the speaker
was the matter of sustaining wild­life
habitat. It was pointed out
that any given forest area has a
definite game carrying capacity
which should never be exceeded
to. prevent deterioration of the fo­rest
and the wildlife population.
The forestry students and fa­culty
alike realized the signifi­cance
attached by the speaker to
classroom principles as applied to
practical forestry field work.

Ag Graduate Student
Throws Light On Hogs
An experiment to determine the
effect of lights on swine at night
is being conducted by Frasier T.
Galloway, a graduate student in
animal husbandry, according to a
recent Agricultural School an­nouncement.
The idea for the experiment
was taken from an article in Life
magazine in which a. farmer from
the corn belt claimed more rapid
gains in his swine which had lights
at night.
Mr. Gallowayis using 24 pigs in'
his experiment with two per pen.
The 12 pens have been divided in­to
three groups and each group
receives different treatment, one
with lights all night, one with
lights "from 12'a.m. until dawn,
and the other with no lights at
all. All other factors are the same.
