Literary Magazine,
Club Being Formed
, By Jim Hearn
Plans for a campus literary
club and a literary magazine are
being made by members of. the
creative writing class taught by
Mrs. Virginia Sdrenson of - the
English department, who will
read, discuss, and criticize dif­ferent
kinds of creative writing
done by Auburn students! The
club will write, edit, and publish
a magazine which will be mimeo­graphed
by the English depart­ment.
This sort of group is not new to
Auburn, for it dates back to 1857,
when the whole school was di­vided
into two groups. A group
named for Daniel Webster called
themselves the Websterians, and
the other organized under the
name of Wirt, for William Wirt.
The Civil War interrupted -the
work of^the literary societies, and
they didn't meet again until 1868,
when the college re-opened its
doors to students. In 1878 fire
destroyed Samford Hall, which
had housed the furnishings, books,
and other possessions which the
societies had collected.
Purpose of the societies was to
discuss and criticize books,, de­bate
topics, and creative works.
The societies died a lingering
death from lack of student in­terest
and support.
Members of the new literary
club invite everyone interested to
join their numbers. Mrs. Soren-sen
may be contacted at the
English department or at her
home, phone 1003-XM.

TURNABOUT
CAROL LAND IS
APOLPH MENJOU
By O. M. Farrior
When Professor Edgar Glyde
lifts his baton next Sunday after­noon
at 3:30 in the student activi­ties
building to begin the fourth
annual presentation of the "Mes­siah"
on the Auburn campus, he
will bring to his listeners ong of
the great musical masterpieces of
all time.
Of the many volumes of com­mentaries
written about the "Mes­siah,"
the recent book by Robert
Manson Myers, "Handel's Mes­siah,"
reminds us that the entire
work was written in the remark­able
brief space of 24 days. The
version sung today is essentially
the same as that sung more than
200 years ago.
Mozart, another immortal of
music, also made his contribution
to the "Messiah." He rewrote
some of the orchestral parts near­ly
40 years after the first presen­tation.
Handel, like ofher composers of
that day, frequently borrowed
material from other sources. JThe
beautiful "Pastoral Symphony"
is based on one of Neapolitan
Bagiper^ tunes and the splendid
chorus, "For Unto Us A Child Is
Born," was borrowed from an ob­scure
Italian composer of the 18th
century.
The audience Sunday will ad­here
to a time-honored custom
and reverently stand while the
famous "Halleluja ChoruS" is
sung. The custom, tradition tells
us, dates from the first perfor­mance
of the "Messiah" before
the king of England. It is said
that the king was so impressed
with the thunderous shouts of
"Halleluja" that he rose to his
feet. Naturally the king s court
rose with him and so the custom
remains.

Tiger Mermen Take LaCrosse Teachers
By 41-35 In First Telegraphic Meet
By Ronald Kuerner
V a r s i t y swimming r e t u r n e d to A u b u r n last week as Coach
Eugene Kruchoski's Tiger squad annexed its first victory of
t h e season by downing LaCrosse State Teachers College of
LaCrosse, Wisconsin, in a telegraphic meet, 41-35.
I n their only event before t h e holidays, t h e A u b u r n tank­men
proved weak in the relays,
but came through strongly in the
individual events to avenge a 43-
23 loss to the same team last year.
Individual star of the meet was
Yarbrough of Auburn, whose ef­forts
in the 220-yard free style
and 440,-yard free style won firsts
for Auburn. His performance
ranked him as one of the top pros­pects
of the squad.
Escobar of Auburn also turned
in a first for the home team,' win­ning
the 60-yard free-style, while
Gaither won out in the 100-yard
free style.
Auburn finished behind La­Crosse
in the relay events, but
nevertheless put up a fine show­ing.
Next on the schedule will be
the University of Georgia in At­lanta,
on January 22. Other op­ponents
include Georgia Military
Academy, Emory, the Atlanta
YMCA and another meet with
Georgia.
The results of the LaCrosse
meet:
300-yard medley relay: Siesco,
Barry, Ramlo (LaCrosse); Walker,
Stapleton, Van Dyke (Auburn);

Rev. Bryan Green
To Speak Thursday
To Episcopalians
By Jan Drake
One of England's most popular
evangelistic preachers, the Rev.
Bryan Green, will be guest speak­er
at Auburn's Church of the
Holy Innocents Thursday, De­cember
9, at 7:30 p.m. The ser­vice
will be broadcast over
WAUD.
Mr. Green, who is Vicar of
Brompton and Rector of St. Mar­tin's
in the Bull Ring, Birming­ham,
England, is in the United
States conducting the diocesan
mission of the diocese of New
York.
During a preaching mission in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., (near Vas-sar
College) the first evening's
congregation consisted of 60 per­sons;
but on the two following
nights the congregation swelled to
over 600, many of whom were
students and faculty members of
Vassar.
He preacher to congregations
of 7,000 in the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine in New York
just prior to his visit to the South.
At his own request, Mr. Green
is visiting Birmingham to furt­her
good will between that city
and Birmingham, England. While
in Alabama, he will be the guest
of the Rev. John C. Turner, rec­tor
of the Church of the Advent,
Birmingham; and Mr. Turner has
made possible Mr. Green's visit
to Auburn.
"Since Mr. Green has been in
the diocese of Alabama he has
received numerous requests *to
preach, and Auburn, is very fortu­nate
in being able to "hear- a man
of such tremendous preaching
ability," pointed out the Rev.
James Stirling.
"Great "preachers are few and
far between, and it is seldom we
have an opportunity to hear a
man who can present the Christ­ian
faith in such interesting,
simple and dynamic terms," Mr.
Stirling added.

conducted by Mr. Stirling, and the

Edgar Evans will sing a solo
selection during the offertory,
accompanied by Mrs. E. S. Win­ters.
/ ,
In an interview when asked
whether he liked to have young
people attend a mission along
with old people, Mr. Green re­plied:
v
"I am very concerned that
young people should come, and
I hope that they Will. We want
people of all ages, young, old and
the ages between.".
Every distinguished v i s i t or
from the Church of England is
asked these days what he thinks
of the state of religion in Eng­land.
In reply to such a question,
Mr. Green said:
•' "It is true to say that the great
majority of the people don't go
near the churches. On the other
hand, a good proportion believe in
religion in a vague way. There are
slight signs of a turning back to­ward
the church. Quite frankly,
the churches must liven them­selves
up. So many services are
dull and unfriendly. This is seri­ous.
If the clergy all got more
friendly, more at grips with the
people, it would help. Some do,
but all should."

Our Conduct -
The Auburn basketball team will play
its first home game of the season at 7:30
o'clock Saturday night in the sports arena.
Mississippi State will "oe Auburn's oppo­nent.
The student body has always shown its
interest in basketball through the large
number of students who have attended" the
games.The enthusiasm and loyalty of Au­burn
students for their basketball team
last season was unsurpassed by any school.
However, on certain occasions students
have been careless in following the house
rules of the sports arena; the two major
infractions being smoking in the building
and walking on the basketball court. These
rules were made by those in charge of the
building and were made in hopes of pre­serving
the life of the arena. Observe
them. - 4
At a recent meeting of the SEC basket­ball
coaches, a discussion was held con­cerning
the conduct of students at games.
Commissioner Bernie Moore urged each
coach to cooperate in bringing about a
higher quality of basketball relationships
between schools.
Coach Danny Doyle, Auburn's head bas­ketball
coach, has requested tH;£r1|pe stiif
dents of this school, treat the members of
the opposing, teams "as if they were visi­tors
in your own home."
Booing either the officials or members of
the opposing team is poor sportsmanship
and reflects on the school. Holler -your
head off for Auburn, but respect the de­cisions
of the officials, and show considera­tion
for players shooting free throws, re­gardless
as to which team they represent.
If students obey these rules, they will be
fostering the true Auburn Spirit and will
be helpful in bringing better basketball to
the South.
Did You Remember?
For all of the popular' songs and righ­teous
patriotism which a certain incident
that happened seven years ago yesterday
provoked at that time, not very many peo­ple
"remembered Pearl Harbor."
We didn't hear a single soul say that yes­terday
was December 7 with any connota­tion
other than he would put with Decem­ber
6 or 8. It is interesting and a little pa­thetic
to look back and see how the patrio­tic
indignation of Japan's rabbit punch
died out from year to year during the past
seven.
And so while the opera bouffe in Wash­ington
goes merrily on, we pass another
December 7.
Wham Bam, Exam Cram
Why not do your Christmas cramming
early this year?
, Why wait and be caught in the last,
mad rush of cramming which precedes the
quarter's finals?
There is still one week left before
the quarter finals begin. If everyone stays
up all night this week cramming, then he
or she can take it relatively easy just be­fore
the finals.
But what about all that sleep lost at
night in this pre-Christmas cramming
someone asks?
That's simple.
Make up the sleep lost at night during
class the next day.
Good Luck, Hoop
The Plainsman says farewell and thanks
to graduating senior Leonard Hooper, as­sociate
editor. A member of the editorial
staff of the '42 Plainsman and one of the
a.m. regulars of the '47-'48 Plainsman,
Hoop has helped make the Plainsman one
of the country's besfc college papers.
The Plainsman, acting in the capacity of
the official student newspaper of Auburn,
emphatically opposes the action taken by
the faculty disciplinary committee and
President Ralph B. Draughon in the sus­pension
of seven students arrested in Tus­caloosa
last week.
The Plainsman editorial board has care­fully
considered the official transcripts
which have been filed with the director of
student affairs, and this board is unable
to find justification for the severity of the
action taken by school officials.
One school official has stated that the
action taken against these students has
been* no more severe than the decisions
rendered against others in similar cases of
the past. We wish to point out that in 1947
an event of much greater consequence in­volving
student behavior ended in an of­ficial
action no worse than probation. We
refer, of course, to the "Wreck Tech Pep
Rally" fiasco.
This same official also-pointed out that
inasmuch as the students were apprehend­ed
on the University of Alabama campus,
the administration had no alternative
other than referring the matter to the fa­culty
disciplinary committee. This would
lead one to believe that the administration
of this school is fawning on the administra­tion
of the University of Alabama.
Dr. Draughon and the faculty discipli­nary
committee have hoped that because
of their action students will be sufficient­ly
impressed that further escapades will
not occur. Inter-campus pranks are as
much a part of the rivalry as the football
game itself. Other schools have long recog­nized
this fact and have been very lenient
as to what constitutes a misdemeanor. As
long as the University of Alabama and Au­burn
play each other in football, escapades
of this type will occur, regardless of any
administrative action to curb it.
So that the students may have the facts,
we quote a report on the affair made avail­able
to us through the student affairs of­fice:
"At 10:30 p.m. these seven men loaded
into Word's 1947 Oldsmobile at the PHA
Barracks area and headed for Montgomery
en route to Tuscaloosa with the purpose of
setting fire to the publicized University
bonfire.
"Gasoline and kerosene were purchased
from a. Gulf station in Montgomery and
AVz pints of whiskey were purchased at
the Manhattan Cafe in Montgomery.
"These students arrived on the Univer­sity
campus between 2:15 and 2:30 a.m.,
December1 2, 1948. Bullard and McCrary,
with bottled whiskey on their persons,
were picked up by University campus po­lice
near the bonfire at 3:10 a.m. The other
five students who were circling the block
in the Oldsmobile were picked up at 3:30
a.m.
"All of these students were carried to
the Tuscaloosa jail and charged with dis­orderly
conduct, and in addition Bullard
and McCrary were charged with violating
the prohibition law of Alabama. These stu­dents
were released from the Tuscaloosa
jail at 9:20 a.m., December 2, 1948, and
they reported to the Dean of Students of­fice
on the University campus. When that
office received word from Aaburn, the
students were released and began their
trip back to Auburn at 11:30 a.m."
Several hundred students have endorsed
petitions which state that the action taken
by the faculty disciplinary committee has
been too severe and that the students
should be reinstated. The Plainsman be­lieves
that it reflects the opinion of the stu­dent
body when it demands that the seven
students who went to Tuscaloosa to burn
the University of Alabama bonfire be re­instated
in school for the winter quarter.
Pennie$ From Heaven /
The Exchange Post Sy Ixv Steinberg Letters
The Common ManB*MitehSha^
I don't care if the two films were connected with ECO­NOMICS
(principles thereof). I enjoyed them anyway. At
least I enjoyed one of them. It was a British film on the
history of money. Even-in educational films it seems that the
British have the edge on Hollywood. While Hollywood is
wasting hundreds of feet of pre­cious
technicolor film on such un­mitigated
abortions as'"Two Guys
From Texas" or "Luxury Liner,"
the Britishers saved theirs for a
truly fine film like 'Henry V."
The film on money was actually
fascinating. I became so engrossed
in it that I even forgot to sneer and
be bored because it was shown
under the auspices of the Amalga­mated
Propagators of Principles of
Economics. In fact, I actually
learned something about the de­velopment
of money and monetary
systems which OLD MAN BLOD-GETT
couldj never teach me. In
spite of the fact that the film had
been cut and edited, what there
was left of it was extremely in­teresting
and informative.
But this other film! It must have
been written, produced and di­rected
by the CYL (defunct Com­munist
YoujBi League). I failed to
get any economic connotation at
all. The scene opened in a pros­perous
industrial city with the
mayor droning on about^how life
rolled along in the rolling mill. At
this point -the cameraman became
transfixed by Uie sight of some
elderly gentlemen feeding sheets
of steel into presses. And while
his honor drones on about life in
our town, the camera gazes un­comfortably
long at this unappeal­ing
process of making thinner
sheets out of thicker ones.
For the first part of the film,
everyone is happy, solvent, _and
organized. There are tenements for
all and a pot for every chicken—
but without the chicken. Then the
depression comes on.- One damn
thing after another. Joe, our hero,
loses his job and goes soliloquiz­ing
up and down the back alley
while his wife thinks he is out
looking for a job.
Finally Joe slumps in through
the back door and glances signifi­cantly
at Maud, his wife and our
heroine. She knows. No job. La­conically
she pours their low vi­tamin
meal from the pot to a
cracked platter. A solemn-eyed
child, who doesn't look a thing like
Joe and even less like Maud, sits
in. a high chair developing pella­gra
by the hour.
Maud gazes moodily out of the
window and suddenly breaks into
the "Unemployment Aria" from
"Hunger." And although Maud is.
sitting there singing like Jenny
Tourel, Joe doesn't even look up at
her. For my part, I suspected that
Maud was an opera soprano who
had given up her stage career to
marry Joe and is now thinking
about the good old days. I may be
right. His honor was still droning
on about the hard times and he
didn't say anything to the contrary
about my suspicions.
.•About this time, Oscar, Maud's
crib-bound Mongoloid son by a
former marriage, awakens and be­gins
to cry lustily. He is hungry.
Maud goes in to placate him and
Joe lightfingers the electric toas­ter,
hides it under his jacket, and
. steals off up the alley, i
Maud turns her attentions to
Oscar again. She looks at him ten­derly.
Poor kid. He's been living''
off of broiled dandeloins ever
since the rolling mill closed down.
Oscar sheds a tear and his last
tooth—scurvey. Maud looks disen­chanted.
She probably wonders
why she ever left the Metropoli­tan
for a life like this.
His honor has been respectful­ly
quiet during the interlude in
the domestic life of Maud and Joe
and little Oscar. But now he comes
back to life and pokes around the
back alley some more with a gang
of the boys from the old rolling
mill. Mdrosely his honor wonders
what to do with them. Helpfully,
a strapping big splaleen looks the
camera in the eye and says, "I
ain't obsolete." His honor sheds a
tear and his last tooth (he caught
the scurvey from Oscar).
Now all of this time I was sure
that Joe had taken the electric
toaster off and made an attach­ment
which butters the toast as it
flies out. He reopens the plant and
makes these attachments to put on
toasters. The town prospers. Maud
takes heart. Oscar gets a new
plate. But no. The picture ends
on a gloomy note with only a va­gue
hope for recovery.
All that film needed was Paul
Robeson singing "Ballad For
Americans."
A Dash of Bitters *«.*»—
The will of the late J. W. Chappell has
endowed Auburn with $32,439.24. A sum
of $25,000 was previously given to the in­stitution
by this gentleman. Therefore, Au­burn
has received a total of $57,439.24 from
this Houston County farmer. The will only
stipulated that the funds be used for
"poor boys seeking education along agri­cultural
and research lines."
Mr. Chappell's action might serve as a
guide and inspiration for all alumni who
have a deep seated love for Auburn and
for the progress of Alabama.
Endowments are an important source of
funds to schools and are relatively rare
around Auburn. They are an investment
whose dividends will show up in the future
generations who will build and maintain
a bigger and better Alabama.
' Auburn will always honor the memory
of Mr. J. W. Chappell, a very farsighted
gentleman. And students wTio benefit from
the J. W. Chappell Scholarship Fund will
always be grateful for the chance given
them by this magnanimous and philan­thropic
gentleman.
This week Bitters has the wel­come
mat out for a guest colum­nist.
The guest writer is Joe
- Moore, a junior in the school of
architecture.
/>\ * * *
A few weeks ago when I was
first offered the opportunity of
writing a guest column I declined
on the grounds that I didn't have
anything to say. I suppose that im­mediately
relegates me to the
ranks of the non-journalists.
This time, however, I do have
something I'd like to say. Hav­ing
attended the opening per­formance
of "Candlelight," which
was presented by the Auburn
Players, I think a whole bouquet
of orchids is in order for the en­tire
group. The play was enter­taining
from start to finish, and
the parts were extremely well
done by their respective players.
Such excellent performances
should result in a greater inter­est
in the group on the part of
the Auburn student body. Cer­tainly
they deserve student in­terest
as a reward for their ef­forts.
Those of you who haven't
seen any of their plays just don't
know what you've been missing.

The other day I was talking to,
or to put it more accurately, lis­tening
to an alumnus who gra­duated
at the turn of the century
when Auburn's student body num­bered
just a little over four Jiun-dred.
Back in those days there
were only six fraternities on the
campus, and their varied and di­versified
activities provided him
with much material for reminisc­ing.
Fifty years ago the local Greeks
, had to be content with chapter
rooms over some of the downtown
stores instead of owning large
houses complete with trophy cases,
fishponds, and automobiles. When
a long awaited lull finally occur­red
in the rather one-sided con­servation
I ventured the observa­tion
that the undergraduates of
even more acutely from a short­age
of coeds than Auburn's Joe
College, 1948 model, does.
"Oh no," was the prompt reply,*
"we had a dozen or more here
then!"
I guess those were the days
when women were women.
Two men met in the street, and
one had a terrible toothache. He
was suffering. He was in agony.
"What can I do to relieve this aw­ful
pain?" he moaned to his
friend.
"You know what I do?" said the
other guy helpfully. "When I have
a toothache or a pain, I go over to
my wife, and she puts her arms
around me, and caresses me, and
soothes me until finally I forget all
about the pain."
His friend brightens up imme­diately.
"Gee, that's wonderful!" he
exclaimed. "Is she home now?"

BURP By Boyd Hinton
When this quarter started, I had
some misgivings about what was
in store. I had changed my course
from electrical engineering to
English-journalism and felt like
a guy that had bet his entire
wad on the dice and thrown a
"little joe."
But then too, I knew that great
things were in store so with
trembling heart and a sweaty
brow, I ventured forth, on the
first day, to dear old English 255.
•I was eager to
delve back into
the annals of|
g r e a t English
w r i t i n g s and;
study all the pro-!
f o u n d things
that had ever
been written by j
the masters.
I took a seat]
on the front row,|
looked' the pro­fessor
squarely Hinton
in the eye, and opened my book
to the first part. Mr. Beowulf
lurched out at me with the auda­city
of an F on a final and dared
me to read further. It seems like
that Mr. Beowulf was sort of "all
american dragon killer" of his
day.
1 Mr. Chaucer came next on the
scene, talking gibberish as though
he had his mouth full of glue. Af­ter
I finally got the stuff deciph­ered,
the old boy had some pretty
good stories but when you throw
something like "Whon thot Arrr-rrrrrprill
weth tha shortes soota"
at an old E square, there's bound^
to be some confusion. *•;
Things went merrily on, how- '
ever, and some of the stuff bej
gan to make sense, at least I
thought it did. I would read a
poem, get it all figured out, and
come to class ready to floor the
professor with my profound un­derstanding
of what was going on..
This worked fine, except I was
usually one hundred per cent
wrong. 4
Take for example Shakespear's
sonnet number one hundred and
humpteen. "Two loves I have of
comfort and despair." Now this,
to me, seemed perfectly logical
for a man to say. Obviously he
meant that he had two loves. The
one of comfort was an easy chair
in front of a warm fire with no
one to bother you and the despair
part was when the bottle ran dry
but I was as far off base as Au­burn
was playing Alabama.
The real meaning was that he
had two women on the make. He
couldn't decide which . one he
wanted, the good looking babe
that was penniless or the fat old
wench with all the money.

This week, non-Jim-Crow old
TIME Magazine seems to have
been hoist by its own petard. No,
there's been no change in the edi­torial
policy—it' still leans over
backward to laugh at and depre­cate
(alternately) southern white
people—but an advertisement
with an invidious illustration
sneaked onto Page 71 of the De­cember
6 issue.
Text and layout of the ad "are
.sociologically inocuous — in it,
Southern Pacific uses Hannegan-ese
(Press-Agent-Prose w i th
Every Second Word Capitalized)
to peddle train trips to Califor­nia
via Arizona and New Or­leans
(feeder lines on the midget
map originate in New York, Chi­cago,
and Saint Louis, no julep
strongholds).
But the illustration, the illus­tration!
A grinning twelve-year-old
Negro boy is shown doing a
barefoot buck-and-wing, to his
fifteen-year-old brother's banjo
accompaniment, for the entertain­ment
of three Southern Pacific
tourists (ostensibly from .New
York, Chicago, or Saint Louis)
who stopped off in New Orleans
on their California trip. An im­probable
iron-lace and plate glass
structure stands in the back­ground.
The lady tourist chuckles, be­fore
what might be New Orleans'
Saint Louis Cathedral, the man
tourist, spruce in a tropical suit
(good old Newarrleens in winter!)
photographs the amusing scene,
but the well-dressed eight-year
old boy tourist displays .all the
worst boorishness of the Classes
—he stnds indulgently with right
knee slightly bent, one arm
around Fawther's waist, laugh-ign
broadly at the darkies!
Heavens-to-Whittaker Cham­bers!
TIME'S ad staff will see
some changes soon. Seriously, the
magazine often leans over back­ward
trying to present the Robe­son
side of things, and I, though
no rabid Jim Crow man, hate to
see the South singled out for crit­icism
by intellectual Dead End
kids when other sections of the
country are slighted. '

Dear Editor:
Last Wednesday night, seven
Auburn men got in a car and
went to Tuscaloosa. They went
there with the intention of burn­ing
down a large woodpile which
was going to be used the next
night in a University of Alabama
"Beat Auburn" rally. When they
got there the woodpile was well
guarded and they decided to wait
for the guard to leave. While they
... were waiting, they were stopped
by the campus and city police,
and there-upon booked and ar­rested
for disorderly conduct.
The boys were placed in jail
and waited there for a short
while. They were interviewed by
University officials and they all
seemed to regret that such a thing
had happened. The boys were
then sent to Auburn to talk to
school officials.
The result of the talk with
these officials has been the sus­pension
of the men for one quar­ter.
The group responsible for
this action was the Disciplinary
Board. •
In all states of the union, there
are football rivalries. The games
played by these traditional rivals
are usually the closest, ' most
thrilling, and the most spirited
games of the year. Many times
they are the best games because
of the strong spirit of rivalry
existing between the two student
bodies. A game between Har­vard
and Yale would be incon-ceiveable
without the preceding
week of raids and pranks on both
campuses.
Because of the fact that such
pranks are most common—even
expected—in all t r a d i t i o n a l
games, the action taken by the
Disciplinary Board against these
Auburn men must seem exceed­ingly
asinine—exceedingly nar­row-
minded. It goes a long way
in indicating the incapability of
this group in judging this and
any other type of incident with
intelligent open-mindedness.
One of the members of this
board said in a Montgomery pa-.
per that the actions of the seven
men did not reflect the attitude
of the student body. How can he,
as, a spokesman for the board,
make that statement when there
is no student representation on
the Disciplinary Board? On the
contrary, I believe that the at­titude
and spirit shown by these
men is.the attitude and spirit of
a good majority of the student
; body.
Respectfully, ,
Oliver Steele

Dear Editor:
I should like to add my voice
to the many you, no doubt, al­ready
have heard from who be­lieve
that the suspension of the
seven men involved in the "Bon­fire"
affair at the'University last
week was unnecessary, unjust,
and uncalled for. Does not the
Disciplinary Committee believe
that the punishment should'fit
the crime? And certainly, no
crime has been committed!
These men were only carrying
out answers to the actions which
were propagated on our campus
by University of Alabama stu­dents.
Reprimand—Yes. Proba­tion—
Maybe. But Suspension—
NO! I strongly urge all those who
believe as I do—that the punish­ment
meted out by the Disciplin­ary
Committee was far in excess
of what it should have been—to
sign one of the petitions on the
campus asking that the Commit­tee's
action be rescinded!
Respectfully yours,
Joseph A. Miller, Jr.

Dear Editor:
Just out of sheer curiosity we
would like to know who is this
guy Sam Burns who calls himself
the one and only student cop?
We encountered this character
Thursday night at the pep rally
dance when he asked a member
of our group to leave the dance.
According to Sam this man was
so much under the influence of
alcohol that he was creating a dis­turbance
and was acting in a
manner unbecoming to a gentle­man.
Sam, evidently not having the
backbone to approach this man
himself, ,sent another member of
our group over to this man to tell
him to leave \the dance. We, and
the so called drunk went to 'Fear­less
Fosdick' to talk to him. After
the 'drunk' talked to 'Fearless' it
was evident that he saw he had
erred in his judgement of this
man's condition, but he was not
enough of a gentleman to ack­nowledge
his mistake and still in­sisted
the man must leave the
dance.
We were very vehement in our
protests over his decision, but this
member of our group, not want­ing
to cause a scene or distur­bance
of any kind, introduced
himself to Sam and quietly left
the dance.
After this man left we talked
(continued on page 5)
I
5—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Dec. 8, ld48
LETTERS
(continued from page 4)
to Sam for awhile and his atti­tude
was very rude, unmannerly
and of a most conceited nature.
We are all for clean, orderly
dances, but if we have to have a
'student cop' why can't he be a
man with gumption enough to ad­mit
a mistake and to act with the
common decency of a normal col­lege
student.
Thank you very much,
Wheeler Melton

Dear Editor:
I did not attend the dance
which followed the pep rally
Thursday night, but from all ac­counts
it must have been a huge
success.
I did hear about one incident
which occured that doesn't seem
to follow through with good Au­burn
spirit. I heard a student tel­ling
a friend of his that he had
been told to leave the dance by a
student cop. The student cop told
the fellow that he was too drunk
to be at the dance. Fifteen minu­tes
after he was ordered to leave
the dance I heard the student re­lating
these facts. At that time he
appeared to be cold sober. In fact
it was impossible for any of us
to tell whether or not he had been
drinking at all.
Everyone goes to the dances for
a good time. Just because a fel­low
enjoys himself is no reason
for him to be forced to spend the
rest of the evening at one of the
local coffee counters. This student
was as sober as a judge fifteen
minutes after the Student Gest-opo
Chief ordered him to leave
the dance. Could he have possibly
been uproariously drunk a quar­ter
of an hour before we saw
him? I say no! Hell no!!
My suggestion? If student po­lice
are necessary, why not get
students who can tell the differ­ence
between milk and moon­shine??
Thanks,
Ed Goodson

Dear Editor:
Open Letter to the Student Body
Congratulations, students! The
spirit shown for the 'Bama game
in Birmingham was superb.
Anyone attending the parade
Saturday morning, the game that
afternoon, or any functions Sat^
urday night were greeted with in­cessant
chain reactions of Au­burn
yells. Auburn won its way
to thousands of hearts over this
last weekend with that spirit.
David O. Herbert and the band
are due plenty of praise for one
of the best half time shows we've
seen anywhere.
We've shown Alabama our spi­rit,
let's not let them forget it.

Dear Editor:
Last week there was" an article
in the Plainsman on the Mr. Metz-ger
of the history department. I
believe that more articles of this
type will be a definite asset to the
paper and the college. Too many
of our teachers get little or no
recognition for the splendid jobs
they are doing in educating us.
It was my good fortune to have
had a course under Mr. Metzger
several years ago. and I found
that he was a true 'teacher' in
every sense of the word. He not
only taught the class a lot of
American Government but also
created a genuine interest of the
subject in all of the subjects.
He is one of the most outstand­ing
teachers I have ever had
classes under and it is gratifying
to see that he is getting credit in
the college paper which is the
'voice of the students'. Ke deser­ves
it.
Yours truly,
Tom Simms

Basketball Team Opens SEC Slate
With Mississippi State Saturday
By Bob Ingram
Auburn's 1948-'49 basketball team will open their South­eastern
Conference schedule Saturday night in the sports
arena when they meet the Maroons of Mississippi State. Game
time \s 7:30.
The Plainsmen opened their cage season this past weekend
in Birmingham, when they defeated Howard College and
Birmingham-Southern College on
successive nights.
Friday night the Tigers comple­tely
outclassed Howard, 57-30. Big
Bill Lynn, transfer center from
St. Bernard Junior College, had
an auspicious debuj as he led the
team in scoring with 20 points.
Saturday night Auburn found
the going somewhat rougher, as
they came from behind to beat
the Southern quintet 40-32. Only
a last minute scoring spree, led
by Lynn, Brawner and Lanford,
enabled the Tigers to emerge vic­torious.
Coach Danny Doyle used sever­al
combinations in these two
games, and will probably continue
to experiment until he finds his
best'combination. The team that
appeared most successful in the
two games played was composed
of Lynn at center, Mobberly land
Lanford at forwards, McAfee and
Brawner at guards. This will
probably be the starting team
against State Saturday night.
Mississippi State and Auburn
met only one time last year in
basketball, and in that encounter
State came out on the top end of
a 49-35 score. Auburn will be
seeking to reverse the outcome of
the game this year.

BSU Football Squadr o m A RD
Beats Boys To Take
Independent Title
By Edward Spencer
The battling BSU's won the in­dependent
touch football champ­ionship
last Tuesday by defeating
the Boys ,7?-0 in a hard-fought con­test.
After losing the first game of
the playoff, the BSU's came
storming back to defeat the Boys
twice and clinch the champion­ship
crown-.
The BSU's moved into the semi­final
round Monday, when the
Zippers failed to report for their
game with the Boys. Being forced
to forfeit a gamer the Zippers
were eliminated from the playoff.
Having already'taken a 1-0 de­cision
from BSU, the Boys were
a slight favorite going into Mon­day's
game. Things were soon
evened up, however, for the BSU's
outlasted the Boys to win a 1-0
overtime tilt from them. In the
final game the BSU's scored a
touchdown and held doggedly to
their lead to win 7-0.
' Monday's Game
The BSU's took a 1-0 semi­final
game from the Boys on cold,
rain-Soaked Bullard Field. A wet
ball and a slippery field caused a
sluggish game, with neither team
able to carry out a scoring drive.
There were no serious scoring
threats by either team throughout
the game. The tilt was primarly
defensive, and little offense was
shown until the overtime period.
In the overtime playoff the
BSU's outgained the Boys and
came out on the big ,end of a 1-0
score. A 48-yard pass from Bruce
Long to Bob Ingram gained the
victory for the BSU's.
The BSU's completed nine pas­ses
to eight for the Boys, and in­tercepted
three passes to two.
First downs were even, with each
tefm making six.
Tuesday's Game
In a thrill-packed game, with
both teams battling desperately
until the final whistle, the BSU's
captured the championship by de­feating
the Boys, 7-0.
Both teams tried vainly to score
in the first half. The Boys advan­ced
to the BSUs 10-yard line, but
a pass interception by McMurtrie
stopped the drive as the half end­ed.
The BSU's scored early in the
third quarter, when a six-yard
pass-frojn Long to McMurtrie was
good for a touchdown. Long then
added the extra point by a place-kick,
and the BSU's went ahead
7-0. ,'
Neither team was able to score
afterward, and the game ended
with the BSU's the victors. Two
timely pass interceptions by Mea­gher
kept the Boys out of possible
danger late in.the game.
The playing of Meagher, Young,
Clay -and Ward sparked the Boys'
attack, while the BSU's were led
by Long, McMurtrie, Beaty and
Carrol.
The BSU's led the Boys in stat­istics
with ten pass completions to
seven, six first downs to four, and
three interceptions to two for the
Boys.
Frosh Football Team

T. D. Wade, center, of Ashland,
Kentucky, and Bill Tucker, half­back,
of Birmingham, were elec­ted

SAE Defeats Alpha Psi 13-0; Wins
Interfraternity Touch Football Crown
By Bruce Greenhi'll
SAE* won the interfraternity touch football champion­ship
last week with a convincing 13-0 win over a hard-charg­ing
Alpha Psi team. SAE won from SPE once and from Alpha
Psi twice (first round and in the finals) to take the title
from the runner-up vets who had defeated PiKA and SPE
to reach the finals.
Fielding a team which inclucL
ed four Ail-Star men, SAE woii
the title for the third straight
year and added the football first
to its victory in horseshoes to go
far ahead in ithe early stages of
the race for the interfraternity
All-Sports cup.
The men from ISforth College
were led this year, as,in the past
two," by Joe Rollins, fonrier All
Stater at Ramsay. Joe, truly an,
All-Star in intramural football,
held "pass mastery" over his op­ponents
all year as he figured in
all the SAE scoring. Other stand­outs
on the squad were All-Stars
Jimmy Biggers, third highest
scorer on the campus from his
wingback position, Charley Phil­lips
at center and line backer, and
Fred Johnson, guard and pass de­fender
par excellence.
Four men played their Jast
game for SAE in the^champion-ship
tilt; Rollins, Biggers, Bill
Shelby, a top-notch end, and Jerry
Green, a rough blocker.
SEMI-FINALS
Alpha Psi 12. SPE 7
A blocked punt by Sid McClain
set up the vets winning touch­down,
when the ball bounded off
McClain's chest and rolled out
of bounds on the SPE two-yard
line. Bob Williams passed to La­mar
Moree for the clinching
touchdown.
SPE scored first on a fifty yard
pass from Bill Fleming to high-scoring
end Gerald Fields. Then
Fleming kicked the extra point
and the Sig Eps led 7-0. The vets
came roaring back and scored on
a pass, Williams to Claude Jame­son
but failed to convert and SPE
led by one point. Late in the game
McClain blocked Parrish's punt
and thfe vets scored the winning
touchdown on the Williams to
Moree aerial.
The line play was especially

and no losses for the year.
Joe Rollins passed to Arthur
Phillips and Jimmy Biggers for
the SAE scores as the SAE's whip­ped
the only team that was able
to score on them during the year.
Rollins converted after the last
touchdown to give SAE a decis­ive
Victory over an Alpha Psi
team which seemed to have lost
some of its precision and passing
strength after a hard schedule and
three playoff games.
Fred Johnson •intercepted four
Alpha Psi aerials to spike most Of
the vets' offensive moves and
Charley Phillips, Dave Kelly and
Bill Shelby continually set the
vets back on their heels as the
SAE defense played one of its
best games. Bill Spivey and Der-rel

losers.

from the spring or summer
quarter must take tests and coun­selling
from the Advisory Center
of the Veterans Guidance Center.
"Time is very short and the Ad­visory
Center is extremely rushed.

Members Attend
Language Meet
Twelve members of the Auburn
English department attended the
meeting of the South Atlantic

Library Features
Technical Works
Auburn libraries are giving
special emphasis to the procure­ment
of increased holdings of
technical and scientific periodi­cals.
Since November 1944 the
subscription list has almost doub­led.
A high percentage of these
periodicals titles are in the var­ious
fields of science and techno­logy.
Commenting on this develop­ment
at the library, Clyde H.
Cantrell, director of libraries,
stated that on July 1 more than
1,300 titles of periodicals are be­ing
received currently. This is an
increase of almost 106 per cent
and shows the increasing impor­tance
placed on periodical litera­ture.
Some titles are received as
gifts and exchanges, but the
greater number are obtained by
subscription.
Periodicals are used for the
most accurate and recent infor­mation
on the various fields of
knowledge. Articles appear in
this' way earlier than ifti book
form, and they include subjects
too small to justify the publica­tion
of books.
Among the throng that packed the
club from 9 until 11, was John­ny
Mack Brown, Kappa Sig alum­nus
of Alabama.
The housemothers of the two
chapters acted as chaperones.
The party was such a success
and generated so much good will
between the two chapters that
plans are already being made to
establish the dance as an annual
affair.
Egyptian Inspects
Fish Pond Research
M. K. el Saby, director of
Eqypt's fish department, Cairo,
was a visitor at the Agricultural
Experiment Station, at Auburn
this week.
The official of the Egyptian
government spent two days study­ing
results of farm fish pond r e ­search
and observing methods of
productions. He came to this coun­try
to learn what is being done in
fish research and how U. S. fish
hatcheries are being operated.
His chief interest is in the de­velopment
of fish ponds in Egypt
as a 'means of food production.
He pointed out that there is only
one-fourth acre of agricultural
land per person in his country, and
that adequate food production is a
major problem in Eqypt.
Mr. el Saby spent four years
in England studying fisheries and
related work before entering the
service of his government. He left
Auburn for Washington, D. C.

David Sayre Talks
To Sigma Xi Meet
"Detection of Molecular Struc­tures
by X-ray Diffraction" was
the title of the talk delivered by
David Sayre, research associate in
the physics department, to the
members of Sigma Xi, national
graduate honor society for those
who excel in research ability, at
their meeting Tuesday night, No­vember
30.
The Sigma Xi Chapter at Au­burn
is composed of 68 mem­bers,
most'of whom are on the
faculty and were tapped by the
society at other colleges.
"It is possible," Mr. Sayre
said, "to take X-ray photographs
of molecules, if the photograph
can be taken while the molecule
is in a crystalline form. There is,
however, a lon,g series of mathe­matical
calculations which ac­company
the process. The physics
department has just completed a
computer which will cut down the
time necessary to make these
computations for weeks to hours."
Mr. Sayre's talk concerned the
1 method in general and the use
.and operation of the computer.
The talk was originally sche­duled
to be made by Dr. Ray
Pepinsky who had supervised «the
construction of the computer. Mr.
Sayre, who assisted Dr. Pepinsky
on the job, delivered the talk in
his place when Dr. Pepinsky was
called out of town on business.
