In Plans With Hangar Relocation
The Board of Trustees of A u b u r n at their meeting Febru­a
r y 24 will take action on a C.AA. grant of $74,000 for con­s
t r u c t i o n ' of an administration building , a t . t h e Auburn-

to begin in the near future.
Bids were received February 10.
With alternates still to be com­pleted,
low bids of approximately
$95,000 for administration build­ing
and $18,000 for grading were
announced. Building contract was
received by A. C. Samford of Al-
' bany and by Bennett Construction
Co. of Montgomery for grading
work.
As shown in the accompanying
sketch of the proposed facility,
The building will be the latest
in airport building design, having
a full view of the field from all
operating and public spaces. Con­tinuous
glass treatment is given
the field side of the building, plus
an open, covered observation
deck.
Entrance is made into a spac­ious
lobby. To the left are located
the operations office and manag­er's
office with full glass windows,
rest rooms, furnace room and
a stairway to the second floor.
To the right is a "ready-flight"
room, instructor's office and class
room accommodating 30 students.
On the second floor are an en­closed
observation lounge, snack
bar, second class room, and the
observation deck.
Prof. E. W. Burkhardt made the
first plans for the building about
15 years ago, from which the pre­sent
plans were adopted .by Sam
Brewster, director of Buildings
and Grounds at the college, and
Robert Pitts, head of the depart­ment
of aeronautics under whose
supervision the airport is operat­ed.

Auburn, University
Heads Hold Joint
talks On Problems
For the first time in history, of­ficials
of the Auburn and the Uni­versity
of Alabama are studying
together financial problems and
needs of the two colleges.
... This was revealed by.Dr.. Ralph
B. Draughon, Auburn president, in
an address before a joint meet­ing
of Troy and Auburn Kiwanis
Clubs recently.
"We are working together on a
program designed to improve the
economy and welfare of Ala­bama,"
he said, emphasizing that
all institutions of higher learning
and the public schools need in­creased
financial aid.
"When the government grants
federal aid to public schools, col­leges
of Alabama the nation will
be called upon to furnish an un­precedented
number of highly
trained teachers for p u b l ic
schools," he said.
He also revealed that colleges
are being called upon for- new
types of research findings in ag­riculture,
industries, medicine,
dentistry, and improved methods
of presenting facts.
In pointing out needs for addi­tional
financial assistance for edu­cation
in Alabama, Dr. Draughon
stated that before World War II
the enrollment in all colleges in
Alabama was about 15,000 stu­dents.
This year the combined en­rollment
at Auburn and Univer­sity
is something over 16,000 stu­dents,
more, than was enrolled in
all" Alabama colleges before the
war.
Red Cross Drive
To Begin Monday
The student drive to raise
funds for the American Red
Cross will be held on the Auburn
campus on March 1 and 2. The
donations received will be added

will be retained by the local
chapter.
The national organization pro­vides
many services to the arm­ed
forces, veterans hospitals, and
in disaster areas. In 1948, Lee
County citizens received Red
Cross relief when a tornado
struck Opelika. The local chap­ter
performs many service? for
students as well as citizens of
the county.
Each student who gives one
dollar or more will be given a
membership card and button.
Those who contribute less than a
dollar will also receive* a button.
The drive will be on a voluntary
basis. There will be no individual
solicitations or set goal for stu­dent
contributions. ,

does it, Auburn does it, every­body
does it!!! This year, it's
Mardi Gras at the annual Beaux
Arts Ball, held in the student
activity building on Friday
night, March'"4—nine days from
now!!
For years, the Beaux Arts Ball
has been one of the highlights in
the school's social season, and if
it's sponsors, the School of Archi­tecture
and the Arts, have any­thing
to do with it, this year's
will be a real whing-ding. In re­turn
for a $1.25 ducat, stag or
drag, every reveler will enjoy
Auburn's only masked ball. Tick­ets
to this gala occasion can be
obtained from any member of
Scarab, Decor or Art Guild.
Since Mardi Gras is the theme,
costumes will be no problem at
all! Drag out that secret ambition
to be Venus or Queen, Pirate or
Buccaneer . . . this is your chance
to fulfill it. Vivid color and sim­plicity
of costume will add to the
gaity and festivity of the occa­sion.
The Auburn Knights will be
out in force to play danceable

Capacity Crowd Sees First Showing '
Of'The Jest'Monday Night At Y Hut
By Mitch Sharpe
The Jest opened Monday night in t h e Y Hut before an
audience of approximately 200. The number could have easily
been doubled if the players had a t h e a t e r worthy of t h e i r ef­forts
and talent.
Robert Blackburn, Marjorie Shores and Lamar Rainer
turned in performances that were
as convincing as they were pol­ished.'
The roles of Neri, Ginevra
and Gianetto called for acting of
a professional standard. Deserv­ing
special mention in the cast
with lesser roles was Anne Smy-the
as the maid Cintia.
Despite the cramped space
which the Y Hut stage affords,
The JeSt was staged in a very
convincing manner. And orchids
are due as much to set designer
Jim Masey as to the cast which
put Sem Benelli's drama across.
The play itself called upon each
member of the cast to give his
utmost in order to make the play
a success. There were a number
of places where the play might
well have fallen flat had not in­dividual
members of the cast
done their best.
• A good deal of the success of
the play on the opening night was
undoubtedly due to the excellent
lighting effects. In every scene,
the mood was both set and com­plemented
by the lighting.
Inasmuch as the play will con­tinue
to show for the rest of
the week, with the exception of
the night when Martha Graham
will be here, a large number of
the student body will have a
chance to see the production.
Members of the cast included:
Jack Seay, as Gabriello, Neri's
brother; Basil Cimino, as Fazio;
J im Masey, as Tornaquinci, the
innkeeper; Kitty Bartee, as Fia-metta,
an old flame of Neri's;
Rowena Kidd, as Luretzia, ano­ther
flame of Neri's; Carol Dor-rough,
as Lisazetta, a young girl
who befriends Neri.
Tommy Malone, the doctor;
Earl Blakely, as Lapo; Robert
Nixon, the executioner; Ethel Ta-tum,
the housekeeper Calan-dra;
Lloyd Lancaster, as Camus;
Arnold Liles, as Nencio; Dick

Dr. Broyles, formerly of Pen­nsylvania

"Agriculture in Greece and Its
Background." Mrs. Broyles gave a
talk on "Ancient and Modern

Horticulture Group
Tests Plant Hormones
An investigation is being con­ducted
in the ornamental horti­culture
department on the use of
synthetic plant hormones in root­ing
cuttings. It is known that
these hormones act as a stimu­lant
for root formation, but their
true advanages have never been
proven at Auburn. *
The synthetic hormones being
used on the cuttings here are
known by the chemical names of
haphthaleneacetamide acid and
indolebutyric acid. The latter is
being used in solutions of talc.
The types of cuttings these
hormones are being used on vary
from hard wood of flowering
shrubs to succulents of pot plants.
Each group has a certain number
of cuttings treated with one of
the acids. A like number is treat­ed
with the other acid, while a
third set of cuttings is used as a
check.

Dance, Ballerina, Dance
Let no one underestimate the power of
a woman—especially when it's a case of
one woman understimating the power of
another.
The conflicting ideas of modesty, as
mirrored in two distinct generations, re­cently
brought up a point in local female
law Which resulted in a coed being restric­ted
by one generation and freed by an­other.
It's like this:
It seems a certain housemother passed
a ground rule (and hearsay has it she was
backed up by others) that the ballerina
skirt was not modest enough for formal
attire; formal evidently meant a la Alice
Blue Gown. The coed in question attemp­ted
to go to a dance clad in the new look
and was stopped forthwith by an execu­tive
order from the housemother.
Believing that she was sufficiently
draped to conform with the existing jruies
of modesty, the coed took her case before
the Women's Student Government Asso­ciation.
The younger generation, wholly
in accord with the new look themselves,
backed her up and told her that the balle­rina
was OK and to wear it. ,
The Plainsman's hat is off the the
WSGA for averting something which
might well have grown to terrifying pro­portions.

With the graduating classes of March
arid June a great many of the veterans will
leave the campus. During their stay,
classes Were crowded; profs were hard to
find; but by and large it seems to have
been a good four years.
The mature veteran who knew what
he wanted and went about getting it in
the most efficient and business-like way
he knew how, however, may be in for a
rude awakening upon graduation. College
graduates in the past have been recognized
by industry and society not only for the
knowledge they receive there but also for
the wisdom. They observed that colleges
and their faculties in offering facts also
offered in the atmosphere and life on the
campus values of a more far-reaching na­ture.
The commuting veteran with his brief­case
and felt hat has learned his lessons
well, but he descended upon the campuses
in such great numbers that he changed the
college instead of the college changing
him. It is hoped that when he disregarded
school organizations and campus life, he
realized he was missing a great part of his
education. He may have learned to be an
excellent technician but he left neglected
character and a well-rounded personal­ity—
marks of an educated man. Yet the
veteran did gain much and he is not being
sold short here. Under that cynical, some­times
callous, exterior he's really a pretty
good fellow, appearances to the contrary
notwithstanding. When given the respon-sibilty
he will be willing and able to ac­cept
it, and will thereby grow in statue.
It is only disheartening that he could not
have begun to do so to a greater ext#ent
while in college.
At any rate the day of the brief-case,
felt hat, the flight jacket and GI pants
will go down with the racoon coat and the
yellow slicker—and it mo;?t certainly wont
come out any worsg^
—The Technique
When complaints are being aired, one
subject tha$ often pops us is that of cut­ting
classes. In the minds of most Auburn,
students the system at Auburn is a little
hazy. "No cuts, allowed" is the belief most
have. The official ruling states tftat after
two unexcused absences the student will
be reported to his dean. Obviously this is
only slightly less lenient than the accept­ed
belief. Actually the fate of the student
is left up to the individual instructor,
whose views may vary from the strict at­tendance
school to that of the group who
never checks on attendance. At different
colleges and universities, the system is
equally varying; some have unlimited
cuts, while at others one cut is taboo.
There are several obvious reasons why
some cuts should be allowed. When col­lege
age is reached, a person is old enough
to decided for himself when it is necessary
to attend class. If a student can maintain
a high average and miss a few classes,
why should he be compelled to( attend
every one? Occasionally, there is a reason
for missing a class that seems legitimate
to the student but is not acceptable for an
excused absence. Even when sickness has
caused an absence, it is sometimes diffi­cult
to explain this at the infirmary.
At most schools where a liberal cut
system is used, attendance is found to be
higher than at many others. It is logical
that, if a more lenient policy Were adopted
here, students would realize their needs
and attend classes accordingly.
Starts February 28
The Alabama Department of Health in
conjunction with the United States Public
Health Service is beginning a series of
blood tests next Monday in the basement
of Samford Hall. Results will determine
those students and citizens of Lee County
who have syphilis.
. A' spokesman from the United States
Public Health Service has stated that the
purpose is to catch those cases which are
still incipient and still contagious. Syphilis
in its earlist stage can be cured relatively
easy.
The time is long past' when the mid-victorian
practice of mentioning the word
syphilis was verboten. Only by making the
county familiar with the name can some
of the stigma of having the disease be
eradicated.
The tests will begin Monday and con­tinue
through March 11. All students and
citizens of the county between the ages of
fourteen to fifty are required to take the
test. Free treatment, in Case of syphilis, is
provided by the state at no expense, or
through a private physician.
No definite diagnosis will be made upon
a positive result. All tests which show a
positive reaction' will be called back for
another check test. Then should the test
positively reveal syphilis treatment is
compulsory. Results from all tests are and
remain strictly confidential.
Only by educating the public to all of
the facts concerning syphilis can we ever
hope effectively to control the disease. A
great step in public health improvement
has been taken by bringing the name
syphilis out into the open.
So feel no shame or hesitancy in falling
in on the end of that line in Samford Hall
basement on Monday and the succeeding
days. It is for your protection and future
health.
A Step Forward
Langdon Hall was packed four times
last week for the Religious Emphasis pro­grams.
The city churches had large Crowds
each night. Some of the visiting ministers
had as many as seven speaking engage­ments
in one day. It was a very busy week
for the speakers as well as those Who tried
to attend most of the services, but it was a
week well-spent, one of highest spiritual
value.
For Auburn, as a whole, Religious Em­phasis
Week is a step forward, and as Herb
Kohn, president of the Student Commit­tee
on Religious Life, puts it, "It's one of
the greatest things that ever happened
in Auburn."
This week being national Brotherhood
Week, Auburn can truely say that brothers
are cooperating with brothers. Every faith
represented on the campus—Catholic, Pro­testant
and Jewish—took part in Religious
Emphasis Week.
Let us consider this past week as an in­spiring
beginning to greater ynderstand-ing
and love of our neighbor and fellow-man,
and that we are on the right road
to truly great living in this, our modern
world.

What's.wrong with you?"
The associate editor started to
explain, "Well, when I was down
South I got in amolig a bunch of
chiggers . . . "
clean joke Wis the variety I was
forced to read tin the back of the
little paper that I got in Sunday
school every Sunday. Maybe
that's what drove me to dirty
ones. It was a case of just how
callow can a joke get.
But of late, I have begun to
find some justification for clean
jokes and people who tell them.
Certain types of clean jokes ap­peal
to me almost as much as a
good dirty one. I don't me.an the
clean jokes like the chesnuts that
Jim Watson persists in telling.
I mean dialect jokes or jokes
which make fun of something ri­diculous.
I recently heard two jokes
which, though clean, appealed to
me greatly. I want to pass them
on although not very many peo­ple
will like them or see the~hu-mor
in them. I know Ralph Jen­nings,
and a few other enlighten­ed
souls like himself, will get a
laugh out of them.
The first one makes fun of the
left publication standard bearers
of the North who carry the ball
for the poor southern Negro. It
seems like a board meeting was
called for the editorial staff. As
soon as all were seated, the
editor-in-chief opened the meet­ing
but began to be distracted by
an associate editor who had just
returned from a week's tour of
the South getting material for an
article on how the Negroes were
being treated down there. This
chap kept squirming around in
his chair and clawing at his arms,
back and thighs.
Finally, the editor-in-chief
could stand it no longer. He turn­ed
to him and said, "Look, must
you persist in scratching yourself
and squirming about like that?
"Just a minute," broke in the
editor-in-chief angrily, "On this
magazine we don't say chiggers,
we say chiggroes."
The other joke also makes light
of a collectivist meeting and
party which a group of these
characters was planning. One
member ' got up and said, "We
can use my apartment to throw
the party in."
'I'll bring the salami," offered
one.
"I'll bring a bottle of red wine,"
added still another.
And so it went around the room
with everyone contributing some­thing.
That is all but one had
volunteered either services or re­freshments.
Finally the leader of
the group looked directly at him
in a very pointed way.
The erring soul divining what
motivated the look said, "Oh, I
am going to bring the Negro."
But jokes like these are a rari­ty.
They just don't seem to exist
in number. I suppose they are a
little too high brow for most
people but I like them. If anyone
has any of the same genre I wish
he'd send them in.
My favorites will always be
the ones about lucky Pierre, the
noir chapeau, and "sacred bleu,
ninty-nine. I have some other
favorites, too, like "lay out me
baggy trousers," and "I've closed
on a daisy." Come to think about,
it, if anyone has some good dirty
ones, seird those along too, A good
set of dirty jokes is a valuable
asset to anyone just about to go
out into the cold, cruel world and
hunt for a job.

While rummaging through some
of the clip sheets that come in to
the office I ran across this As­sociated
Collegiate Press release
and I would like to pass it on.

A list of what girls dislike most
in men has been compiled from
a wide assortment of tJniversity
coeds by Ijliami Hurricane fea­ture
Writers:
Heading the list, and running
neck and neck, are dirty finger­nails
and conceit. "God's gift to
women." and he who "constant­ly
tries to prove he's a college yo­yo,"
are definitely taboo. Dirti-and
bitten-down fingernails ate
not only taboo—"they are strict­ly
repulsive," acctirding to the
long-nailed coeds.
"Men who can't stop talking
about how much money they
spend, who can only talk about
cars and how fast they can make
them go, Who boast, generally,
about every phase of their lives,
and who always try to be the life
of the party," are heartily con­demned.
Vulgar language, sloppy dress­ers,
and men needing a shave,
Come high on the list of dislikes.
Cigars, beards, suspenders, and
mustaches are generally con­demned.
Bad manners, table and
otherwise, are unappreciated by
the gals. "The overbearing tem­peramental
male is very hard to
endure," said one of those inter­viewed.
Sarcastic men, loud men, lazy
men, and those with shallow, in­sensitive
natures are among the
banned. "I like a fellow who has
ambition—who can talk- about
something besides the race track
and cars," is the way one coed
put it.
Male superiority complexes
come at the head of the list. "The'
kind of boy Who thinks he's su­perior
in intellectual ability to
the female—tells you What to
wear, criticizes every little thing
about you, insists on choosing the
evenings entertainment."

Men at Ohio Wesleyan were
quick to reply to the Florida poll
with their tabulation of what's
wrong with women:
The concensus Was that paint­ed
fingernails in run down con­dition
compares quite favorably
with the men's dirty fingernails
condemned by the coeds. One
chap inferred that some women
paint their nails to cover up the
dirt.
One male complained about wo­men
being late for dates saying
that many coeds take the stand
that if they are on time for a
date, they are showing too much
interest. Accordingly, they show
up anywhere from 10 to 40 min­utes
late. They also "tend to put
too much emphasis on the amount
of money possessed by their date,"
he continued.
Another interviewee begged
that women at least "try to act
natural without affecting the
mannerisms of a sickening teen­ager
attempting to play house."
She: "John you really shouldn't
have kissed me like that with all
these people so close around us
even if it was in the dark."
John (looking around angrily):
"I didn't kiss you! I wish I knew
who it was, I'd teach him!"
She: "John—you couldn't teach
him anything."

DEAD END By Joe Pilcher
The time for the next publica­tions
election is not too far dis­tant.
It is then that men will be
selected to run he Plainsman and
he Glomerata next year.
Last year's election was carried
out in a highly efficient manner,
but there was one. detail that
needed revision—freshmen were
not allowed to vote. This appar­ent
discrimination against our
younger students should be cor­rected
by the election committee
before another election is held.
I realize that there was a de­finite
reason behind the action
taken to prevent freshmen from
voting. I was a freshman last year
myself, and I remember how in­experienced
I was in the ways of
campus politics. Had I been al­lowed
to vote when I went to the
polls, I am sure that I would have
cast a very unintelligent ballot.
Judging from the standpoint of
experience alone, freshmen are
totally unqualified in most cases.
Yet^ how do we expect our
freshmen to gain experience? In
three years these students will be
our leaders. If they are to be ca­pable
leaders they must be given
experience now in the ways of
campus life. Not only should we
allow them to vote, but we should
also encourage therri to partici­pate
in extra-curricula activities.
In other words, we should deve­lop
our crop of future wheels.
Under ho circumstances should
we destroy their interest and ini­tiative
in student activities by
prohibiting them from voting in
the publications election.
Today many people at Auburn
are criticising our student body
for its lack of interest in elections.
I would like to-point out that if
we upperclassmen desire to pro­mote
interest in our elections
among the freshmen, then .cer­tainly
we should discard any po­licy
which prevents them' from
voting.
Even the most misinformed
freshman can do no harm with
his ballot in the publications elec­tion.
Since all of the candidates
have been qualified by the Pub­lication
Board, the election is
mainly a contest between the dif­ferent
personalities who desire
the positions.
I have attempted to put this
article in the form of a sugges­tion,
not a criticism. Within the
past few weeks there has been
printed far too much destructive
criticism in proportion to the
number of constructive sugges­tions
that have been offered as
substitutes. I have presented ar-guements
showing both sides of
the issue. Since most of the evi­dence
favors allowing freshmen
to vote, I feel certain that the
election committee will take ac-*-
tion on this matter before the
next election.
A Dash of Bitters By Jim ForxMter
Columns are not easy to live
with. In a way they're almost hu­man.
As they get older it's hard­er
and harder to keep them alive.
For the past few quarters I've
•been trying to think of some rea­son
for keeping this one alive
and now I think I've got one.
Perhaps this is neither the
time nor the place to bring up
some memories -of Auburn dur­ing
the past three years, but I
don't intend to worry about that.
The first time
;j Bitters appeared
| on this p a ge
I was in J-u n e
I I 9 4 7 and it's
* been here ever
since. S e v en
quarters is a
long time for a
personal column
H to last on a Col­lege
newspaper
and I got to
thinking about
this last week and wondering how
it lasted so long. I imagine that
others have wondered about that
too. But in seven quarters of
turning out a page and a quarter,
double spaced, every week you
manage to notice quite a lot
about things and people. Things
that ordinarily wouldn't have
any connection have a funny way
of starting to add up. Coincidence
is just a word, a word for some­thing
that seldom happens.
Last week the minutes of the
last meeting of the Cabinet were
Forrester
featured on the front page. Ac­cording
to the Constitution they
are supposed to be printed in the
issue following the meeting. The
purpose, I suppose, is to keep the
students informed. But for some
reason, the, minutes of the meet­ing
of October 22, 1948, were not
printed until January 19, 1949.
Why? They were certainly turned
in. Why, then, were they three
months late in appearing? Was
it just gross negligence?
Evidently back in October
someone decided that they could
just as well be left out of the
paper. If the minutes had been
one issue late in appearing, or
even two, it could have been
passed off as accidental. Three
months is no accident. Now we
have a sudden change.
The current campaign of mud
slinging has been developing for
more than a month. It is an old
trick, this mud slinging. It is a
favorite weapon of every cheap,
small time politician and it is al­ways
done with a definite pur­pose
in mind. It usually starts
just before elections, when some­one
or some group wants the
brand of champions of the people.
Then they realize that to do this
they must cover up their own re­cords,
or lack of a record, and
.they suddenly realize that the
only way they can do it is by
slinging mud.
Whenever it happens just ask
yourself "What does he (or they)
want out of it?". Sooner or later
it'll show up.
Dear Editor:
Sometimes, adolescent enthu­siasm
can accomplish wonders on
a college newspaper. Sometimes,
adolescent enthusiasm causes the
editor to stick his foot in his
mouth. In the last edition of the
Plainsman, the editorial entitled
"Big Investigation (Ha)" stated
the following: "On latest reports
the investigation is proceeding
with all of the thoroughness and
speed of a federal Congressional
investigation."
Now, since when has it become
a crime for the student govern­ment
to follow the example of our
U.S. Congress? Whether or not
the editor of our college paper be­lieves
in democracy should be of
interest to every student. I realize
that the paper in the last few
months has launched upon what
appears to be a campaign to see
just how snide it can become, and
that attacks on the governor of
the state of Alabama, attacks on
the administration, and attacks on
well-intentioned student leaders
have become very common. But to
my mind, snide attacks only in­dicate
immaturity.
As to your public statement
that you were "selected" and not,
"elected", I would like also to
make a public statement to help
clarify the record: I voted for you
in the last elections, not because
of any belief that you would be
an improvement on the last edi­tor,
but because I, like hundreds
of, other students, considered you
the lesser of two mediocrities. The
other candidate had never work­ed
on the paper at all, and you
had been sports editor. It is a
shame that someone hasn't made
this clear before now. Jimmy
Coleman put out a very good pap­er,
and as the Glomerata so aptly
put it:. "The successors to Cole­man
and Anderson would have to
maintain a high standard of effi­ciency
. . . or suffer a compari­son."
But if you keep trying, perhaps
the Plainsman will cease to be
callow and snide by the time your
term ends. If you keep your
mouth shut just once in a while
and listen, and work for construc­tive
improvements through the
established machinery of govern­ment,
maybe there won't be a
comparison.
Don't appear adolescent so often.
I presume that you are over 21
years old since you are a veteran,
so act your age and don't fall into
the following description taken
from the New Yorker describing
the college editor:
"We have an increasing respect
for undergraduate publications,
callow as they are. They are the
real liberal journals of the coun­try,
because their editors are 21,
At 21 an editor has the lovely tarl
of quality of the upripe. Socially
he is conservative—more conser.
vative, probably, than he will evei
be again; but editorially he is a
rainbow of radical thought, large­ly,
we believe, because of the sud.
den oriastic pleasure of literal
expression. He has a distinctiv<
literary style, instantly recogniz­able:
a kind of pedantic sarcasm.
The first flush of printer's ink if
like wine."

Dear Sir:
I am writing this letter solely
for the purpose of information;
not to criticize. I would like to
know why the sophomores and
freshmen can't pre-register for
the spring quarter as was done
for the winter quarter?
The registration schedule as it
now stands will cause a hard- *
ship on a great many students as
far as a trip home is concerned.
I have talked to some students
about this schedule and none
like it. Was there anythng wrong
with the pre-registration for all
students? How many students
like our spring quarter registra­tion
schedule?
I'm sure the council of deans
must have some good reason for
making out the registration sche­dule
as such, and I would like to
know why.
Yours truly,
Robert Bryson

Dear Editor:
This letter is written to you in
the heat of emotion, and, I think,
righteous anger.
I have just seen the schedule
of courses offered in the spring
quarter of 1949. There are so
many conflicts in the schedule
that I will be lucky if I can get
ten hours of courses that I need
next quarter. Perhaps this would
be a little more clear if I explain­ed
my situation.
At the end of last quarter I
needed 65 hours to graduate, all
of them required hours. Because
of conflicts, I could schedule only
ten required hours.
Undaunted, I carried on, secure
in my belief that the schedule
would be better next time and
that I could graduate at least ••

Footballers Set For Infra-squad Game
In Talladega On Saturday Afternoon
i By Edwin Crawford
A regulation intra-squad game in Talladega's Dumas Sta­dium
on Saturday afternoon highlights the w o r k of t h e Au­b
u r n football team this week. The game in Talladega is t he
first of two such encounters facing t h e A u b u r n gridders b e ­fore
the completion of spring drills, as t h e annual "A" Day
game will be played in the sta­dium
on March 5.
At the completion of the fourth
week of spring drills, Coach Earl
Brown named the members of
the Orange and White squads
who will participate in Saturday's
game in Talladega. He also ex­pressed
satisfaction w i t h the
progress which the squad had
been making and said he was
looking forward to the game on
Saturday.
This week the Tiger coaches
plan to work the two teams as
separate units in the daily drills
with several scrimmage sessions
being scheduled. Coach Brown
Eaid.-rre will divide his staff of
six coache^ to handle the two
squads with three men working
with each team.
The personnel is evenly dis­tributed
on both teams and the
Orange team will be composed of
12 members of the 1948 freshman
team, 15 members of the varsity
squad, and one transfer student.
The White squad is made up of
16 freshman squad prospects, 12
members of the 1948 varsity, and
two transfer students. Because
of their experienced players, the
Orange team seems to have a
slight advantage. However, a
number of the sophomores have
been looking g r e a t in recent
drills and should make the tilt
Saturday a wide-open affair.
Coach Brown said that he was
carrying the varsity squad, the
senior members of the 1948 foot­ball
team, and the freshman pros­pects
who have entered Auburn
this quarter to Talladega for the
jpa3n?

Lambda Chi Alpha's Dixie Conclave
Fjnishes Up Year's Business Here
Lambda Chi Alpha delegates from eight Southern states,
who attended the f r a t e r n i t y ' s .Dixie Conclave, held at Au­b
u r n ' s chapter this year, have r e t u r n e d to their homes after
a week end ..round of business sessions and social activities.
And many of their views on f r a t e r n i t y life have been
reshaped by the things that they
have learned at Auburn. They
were told by Elles Derby, national
president of Lambda Chi, that un­less
fraternities change some of
their antiquated ideas, they wjll
die a fast death.
At a banquet program last Sat­urday
evening, which included on
its roll of speakers President
Ralph B. Draughon, Dr. H. T.
Karnes, national vice-president of
Lambda Chi; Ralph Smith, na­tional
treasurer, and master of ce­remonies;
Frank M. Orr, dean of
the School of Architecture and
the Arts. Mr. Derby spoke on the
challenges which face, fraternities.
He stated that' fraternities in
general must place more, empha­sis
on scholarship and public re­lations
while maintaining their
present place in campus extracur­ricular
activities.
Mr. Derby also announced that

he said.
He announced his hopes that the
John E. Mason Foundation, a uni­versity
and college service named
in honor of one of Lambda Chi's-first
leaders, will have accumu­lated
$1,000,000 by 1959—money
which will be gradually turned
over to colleges for use in worth­while
research.
At the close of the banquet pro­gram,

alumni and valued highly, was
given L. D. Boylan, 1948 presi­dent
of the Dixie Conclave. .
Earlier in the Conclave, Neil O.

the Lee County Bulletin, and an
alumnus of the Auburn Lambda
Chi chapter, was elected president
of the 1949 Dixie Conclave.

A speech and hearing clinic, di­rected
by Dr. E. K. Jerome, is now
in operation at Auburn under the
supervision of the speech divi­sion

This clinic, which serves the
entire campus, will greatly re­duce

connected with speech and that
as hearing gets bad speech begins
to deteriorate, he added.
The clinic is open to all stu­dents
as a non credit course with
two one-half hour drill sessions
each week. Each session is indi­vidual
and the time is used in
showing students how to correct
their speech faults.
There is a great demand for
work of this type all over the
nation, according to Dr. Jerome,
and clinics are in operation at
most universities in major stand­ing.
The clinic at Auburn is not
yet complete because of the lack
of some equipment that has to
be ordered.
In an important game last week,
the PKT's knocked off the pre­viously
unbeaten Phi Delt's 23-21.
Lav/ley and Pearsons accounted
for seven and six points to lead
the winners, while Sellers racked
up eight for the Phi Delt's.
Sigma Phi Epsilon won one and
lost one last week, the win being
•a 27-18 lacing of Kappa Sigma.
Tanner took scoring honors for
Sigma Phi with 6 points. The SPE
loss came at the hands of power­ful
Alpha Psi, who came out on
top of a 42-20 game. Jameson,
who racked up 16 points for AP,
was the big factor in the SPE
downfall.
Phi Delta Theta piled up a
comfortable halftime lead and
coasted to a 45-30 victory over
Kappa Alpha. Phi Delt's Thrash­er
led the scoring for the game
with 13 markers. The Kappa Al­pha
team used subs freely, and
all but one broke into the scoring
column.
And speaking of half - time
leads, Alpha Gamma Rho piled
up a 30-5 margin over Kappa
Sig at the end of the first 20 min­utes,
coasting on to win in the
second half 50-14. Davis led the
winners with 13 points.
Sullivan, a Sigma Chi forward,
scored 14 points and led his team
to a thrilling 27-25 win over
Theta Chi. Overton was high for
TC with 6 markers.
' Lambda Chi Alpha squeezed by
Alpha Psi 25-19, as LCA's Willis

ATO poured it on in the second
half to overcome Delta Sigma

Tigers Win From 'Gators And Bulldogs;
Nixon And McAfee Impressive In Upsets
By Bob Ingram
The Auburn basketball team turned in two surprising up­set
wins last week, and in so doing finally emerged from the
cellar of the Southeastern Conference. On Thursday night
in the sports arena, Auburn defeated the University of Flori­da
five 44-43, and on Saturday night Georgia fell to the Tigers,
53-47. |
Too many times this season
Auburn has looked good in losing,
but last week the tables were
turned as Auburn looked bad in
winning. The defensive play of
the Tigers in both games was sat­isfactory,
but offensively they
were woefully weak. Particularly
on the foul lines the Auburn team
was ineffective, connecting on
only 29 shots out of 49 attempts
in the two contests.
If any one man can be given
credit for winning a ball game,
then Auburn's Glenn Nixon de­serves
such praise for his play
against Florida. He just couldn't
miss. When the buzzer finally
sounded ending the hectic game,
Auburn had 44 points, Florida 43,
and Nixon was not far behind
with 20.
Auburn had an uphill struggle
in besting the determined Gators.
During the closing minutes of the
first half Florida threatened to
make a rout of the game by tak­ing
an eight point lead, but Au­burn
closed the gap to 24-23 at
halftime.
The second half was similar to
the early minutes of the opening
half, as the lead changed hands
continuously. Auburn jumped in­to
a 38-33 lead with six minutes
remaining but Florida pulled up
to a one-point deficit with but
seconds remaining. Trailing by
44-43 and with eight seconds left
to play, Florida's Miller took a
set shot from 40 feet out which
came very close to winning the
game, missing the shot by inches.
Following Nixon in the scor­ing
parade was Harry Hamilton
of Florida with 17 points, and
Emmett McAfee of Auburn with
12.
Against the Bulldogs the Au­burn
team looked somewhat bet­ter,
but by no means good, as
they outscored the Georgians 53-
47. Like the Florida affair, this
game too was a nip and tuck
battle all the way with the lead
•changing hands 14 times.
In the first half Auburn made
its poorest showing of the sea­son,
offensively speaking. Their

burn to just a slight degree, the
Tigers were only trailing 24-21 at
halftime.
. Both teams looked a good deal
better, during the second half
and the tempo of the game in­creased
proportionally. After see­sawing
back and forth for 17
minutes, Auburn broke a 46-46
tie on baskets by Lanford, Mc­Afee
and Brawner to defeat the
Bulldogs, 53-47.
High scorer for the night was
little Joe Jordan of Georgia with
14 points. Jordan never appeared
to aim at the basket but merely
flipped the ball goalward with a
bit of wrist action, and with un­canny
accuracy. Brawner, Mc­Afee
and Nixon paced the Tigers
with 12, 11 and 9 points respec­tively.

while Florida's Hans Taenzler (21) makes a desperate but futile effort to deflect the ball. The other

Rebels, A Club Lead Independent Play;
Norton Sets Scoring Mark Of 31 Points
By Wayne McLaughlin
The Rebels and "A" Club dominated Independent league
play last week, winning two games each. A Club victims were
the Nomads and ROTC, and the Rebels licked the War Eagles
and Navy Blues. Only one more week of league competition
remains before the playoffs begin, and some league titles have
already been decided.
The A Club's Jocko "Norton
proved that football isn't the only
game he can play last week when
he scored 31 points to lead his
team to a 76-16 rout of the No­mads.
Bobby Weaver added 17 to
the A Club total, which would
have been enough to win the
game even without Norton's 31.
The powerful ROTC team presen­ted
the A Club with stiffer op­position,
but it was still not
enough to check the rampaging

team, this time racking up 14
points. Weaver followed once
more, this time with 9.
The Rebels played a poor game
Monday night, but still managed
to beat the War Eagles 20-13.
White, a War Eagle guard, was
high point man for the game with
11 of his team's total. The second
Rebel victory last week was an
upset of the Navy Blues, who
played without the services of
Kempson, their star forward. The
Rebels piled up a 15-5 lead at
halftime, but the Midshipmen
came back strong to knot the
count at 20-all at the final
whistle. Ingram pitched in two
field goals for the Rebels during
the playoff, which made the final
score read in the Rebels' favor,
24-20.
The Eagles continued their
winning ways last week by
trouncing the FFA 52-25. Owens
made 16 points for the/, winners,
and Granger countered, with 15
for the FFA. The Future Farmers
avenged this defeat later in the
week by humbling the Foresters
36-22. Weaver led the FFA scor-

Last Friday night the Tigers
won their most decisive victory
of the season, crushing an out­classed
Vanderbilt University
team by a score of 29-2. After be­ing
held scoreless for' the first
seven matches, V a n d y finally
scored their two points by hold­ing
the heavyweight match to a
draw.
Jack Gray of Auburn earned
five points for the Tigers by pin­ning
his opponent, Byron Green,
in 2:46 minutes of the second
round, in the 121 pound bracket.
Anthony "Sonny" Dragoin fol­lowed
in the 128 pound bracket
by decisioning Vandy's Currey
for three more Auburn points.
Dragoin outpointed his man in
this match, 5-0,
In the 136 pound class, Au­burn's
John McKenzie scored a
fall, over Crews of Vanderbilt in
44 seconds -of the second round,
and Auburn led 13-0 after three
matches.
Captain Carroll Keller added
five easy points to Auburn's total
in the .145 pound bracket, win­ning
an automatic forfeit as Van­derbilt
failed to be represented in
that bracket.
In the 155 pound match, Au­burn's
Robin Baker won a very
close decision over Wyatt Martin
of Vanderbilt.
Auburn's powerful Phil Smith
scored his eighth win of the sea­son
without a loss in the 165
pound match, decisioning his op­ponent,
Wilbur Sening, in a match
which saw Smith riding Sening
throughout.
In another very close match,
Auburn's Blackshear White-also
the Golden Gloves Heavy-derbilt,
winning 4-3, in the 175
pound class. In the heavyweight
match Auburn's Brnilovich and
Vandy's Caldwell battled to their
second draw of the year. Cald­well
was a star tackle on Vander-bilt's
fine football team of last
year.
The highlight of the Georgia
Tech meet this Saturday night
should be the match between Au­burn's
SEAAU champion John
Brnilovich and Georgia Tech's
Clay Matthews. Brnilovich de­feated
Matthews twice last year,
but this season Matthews reversed
the tables by decisioning Brni­lovich
8-4. Besides being a very
capable wrestler, Matthews is
also the Golden Gloves Heavy­weight
champion of the state of
Georgia and is a letterman on the
Georgia Tech football team.
12. This is the first year that an
Auburn swimming team has en­tered
the conference meet.

Gl Bill Explained
For Local Veterans
By Jim Hearn
This is the second of a series on
Veterans benefits. This series is
designed to familiarize the student
with the benefits which are his.
The so-called GI Bill (Public
Law 346) provides education, on-the-
job or on-the-farm training
for eligible World War II vete­rans.
The veteran must have had at
least 90 days active service, with
a discharge under conditions oth­er
than dishonorable. Some part
of the period of active service
must have been between Septem­ber
1, 1940 and July 25, 1947.
A veteran with less than 90
days active service may be eli­gible
if he was discharged with
actual service-incurred disability.
This benefit provides one full
year of education or training, plus
the time the veteran was in ser­vice
between September 16, 1940
and July 25, 1947 up to four years
maximum. Special conditions of
eligibility are provided under the
Armed Forces Voluntary Recruit­ment
Act of 1945.
For f u l l - t i m e institutional
training, subsistence allowance is
paid at these rates: $75 per month
if there are no dependents; $105
pei month with one dependent;
and $120 per month for more than
one dependent. Lesser amounts
axe paid for part-time training.
All expenses of tuition, books and
supplies are paid at a rate not
to exceed $500 per year.
I There is a limitation on wages
and subsistence under which the

Rehabilitation Service
Helps Many Students
The training division of the
Vocational Rehabilitation Serv­ice
is opening vistas to happy,
successful lives for more than 40
students each quarter at Au-
'burn.
I
Under the supervision of Shel-ton
McLelland, services rendered
are determined by individual
needs. Tuition, books, supplies,
medical care and prosthetic de­vices
are given to boys and girls
qualified for college training who
are in need of financing assist­ance.
\
Designed to preserve or restore
i the ability of students to work
: for a living, the Vocational Re­habilitation
Service is a public
! service for civilians with physi-
1 cal or mental impairments. Ad-i
ministered through the State De­partment
of Education, it is a
State and Federally supported
program and a public service in
the same sense as the school sys-
I terns.
The addition to college train-i
ing, o t h e r services available
.through the rehabilitation pro-
! gram are medical treatment, psy­chiatric
care, prosthetic appli­ances;
employment training for
the handicapped who have less
than high school education; also
assistance in placement and fol­low
up to make sure of suitable
; employment.
ENJOYING A GAME OF CHECKERS at student center are
Charles Hudson, Decatur, and Ruth Poor, Phenix City, while
James' Lovvorn, Wheyland Rothenburg and Robert Smith give
advice. Shelton McLelland (standing) is supervisor of the train­ing
division of the Vocational Rehabilitation Prograrn which as­sists
these students at Auburn.

i combined amounts cannot exceed
j $210 per month for the veteran
'without dependents; $270 per
month for the veteran with one
| dependent; and $290 per month
for the veteran with two or more
dependents.
Full information on all Veterans
benefits can be obtained at the
Auburn office of the Veterans
Administration at 235 Mell Street.
(Continued from page 4)
not more than one quarter later
than I should. The sad awaken­ing
came this afternoon. Five
courses that I need will be of­fered
next quarter. Four of these
courses are taught at only one
period a day, and that period is
from 9 to 10 in the morning. I
suppose I was lucky to have the
fifth course taught at another
hour, but I don't think so.
To add insult to injury, I found
when I looked at the courses of­fered
by the mathematics de­partment
that vector analysis,
which is not required, but which
I certainly need, is offered at
only one time. You're right,
brother, it is taught from 9 to
10.
As I said before, I'm angry. In
fact I'm well mad!
The bad part about it is that I am
not alone in this dilemma.
Can't something be done about
this? If I must pay cold,, hard
cash, and I must, to go to college,
I would like to pay for courses
that are in my field so I can get
my degree and start graduate
work. If this keeps up much long­er
I will have a major in liberal
arts before I get a degree in phy-cics,
and that God forbid.
Sincerely,
Tex Shewell

Auburn Students
Attend NSA Meet
Five representatives from Au­burn,
attended a regional assembly
of the Georgia-Alabama-Florida
Region of the United State Na­tional
Students Association at
Emory University in Atlanta Sat­urday
and Sunday, February 12
and 13. More than 25 colleges from
this region were represented at
the meetings. '
Representing WSGA were An­na
Jean Franklin, president, and
Loren Johnson, secretary. Repre­sentatives
from the Executive
Cabinet were Joe Meade, junior
representative Gilmer Blackburn,
secretary, and Crawford Nevins,
president of the sophomore class.
The assembly opened with an
informal reception Saturday af­ternoon
from 1 to 1:30. Following
a general session and an inform­ative
discusion of NSA a series
of workshops were held from
2:30 until 6 p.m. The main sub­jects
under discussion at these
workshops were Student Govern­ment
Structures and Student
Governments Functions. After a
four-hour session of workshops
Sunday afternoon, the assembly
adjourned.
At one of these workshop meet­ings
representing Auburn, Emory,
Georgia Tech, University of Mi­ami,
and University of Alabama,
Auburn brought up the question
of open elections versus closed
elections and how they affected
the so-called line-up.
The University of Alabama,
University of Miami, and Geor­gia
Tech reported open elections.
The University of Alabama and
the University of Miami reported
that they had placed restrictions
of twenty-five dollars that could
be spent by each candidate in an
election, but University of Mi­ami
reported they had to aban­don
their restrictions because
they could not enforce them.
Each school reported that be­tween
40 and 50 per cent of their
student body had voted ia the
last general elections.
JACK GRAY, Auburn's out­standing
121 pound wrestler,
turned in a sparkling perform­ance
against Vanderbilt last
on for points in the Georgia
