Dean Bannister
OLD PICTURE PLAN
IS JUNKED; GASTON
GIVES NEW SETUR
Here's your chance to get
your picture made for the 1949
Glomerata—and you set your
own time! *.
Beginning today at 1 p.m.,
students appointments will be
accepted al the Glomerata office
next door to Student Center.
The office will be open until-
5 p.m. every day for this
purpose.
Students from any class, any
school, may make appointments.
This is different from
the plan previously announced
by Hugh Gaston, editor.
There are two reasons for the
change in plan. They are: (1)
An attempt to include a higher
percentage of class pictures
based on making the appointments
more convenient to the
students, and (2) To keep the
photographer busy during his
limited stay in Auburn.
Students are reminded that
when having pictures made the
following items of clothing
should be worn (not alone, of
course): Men: Light coat, dark
tie, white shirt. Women: While
blouse.
Photographers hours are
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Broun

A special team of Oriental students
from Wayland College,
Plainview, 'Texas, will visit the
Auburn campus tomorrow when
they will present a program at
the First Baptist Church at 7:15
that evening.
Three of the students are from
Hawaii, and two are from Shanghai,
China. They were brought to
America as a part of the international
program of Wayland
College, and through the influence
of the Southern Baptist
foreign mission program. All of
them plan to return to their home
countries after graduation' to do
full-time Christian work. The
program which they will present
in Auburn is one of a series they
are conducting on various campuses
throughout the South this
summer.
Sam Choy, leader of the group,
is BSU president at Wayland for
the coming year. He will speak
and direct the singing of the service.
A Hawaiian of Korea. Mori
Hiratani and Muriel Okamoto,
both of Japanese background, are
also from Hawaii. Mari is a speakr
er, and Muriel, an unusually gifted
soloist. Inchildhood, both
were Buddists, since their parents
from Japan worshipped Buddha.
The Chinese members of the team
are Rose Wang and Peter Chen,
who came to the United States
five months ago. Both of these
will give testimonies of their experiences
with the missionaries
and also of the needs in China
today. •
All students and faculty members
are cordially invited to this
program. . '
Brings Total To 36 And Are Valued At Over
$18,000; Special Showing Scheduled For Fall
Professor F r a n k W. Applebee, head of t h e applied art department,
has been notified t h a t A u b u r n will receive two more""
paintings from the much-discussed collection of 117 works of
American a r t r e c e n t l y sold by t h e War Assets Administratiojh.
The collection was originally
bought by the1 U. S. Government
for exhibit overseas. The paintings
were withdrawn from
Czechoslovakia and Cuba following
Congressional criticism'of
the project.
The works are valued at over
$18,000. They give Auburn a collection
unequalled by any other
college. The State Department,
original buyers of the paintings,
paid enormous prices for the
works. The "fair value" price,
granted Auburn because of the
high veteran enrollment here,
averaged around $29.70 per picture.
BAMA OFFICIAL FIRST
TO OFFER AUBURN
CONGRATULATIONS
The first congratulatory note
concerning Auburn's acquisition
of the 36 paintings came from the
University of Alabama. Dr. J. B.
Smith, head of the University's
art department, wrote: "Congratulations
on securing the collection
of paintings from WAA. This
is significant not only for you but
for all of Alabama. It will greatly
stimulate art work; we shall be
coming oyer to see it. I am frankly
envious."

Math Club To Present
Weekly 'Puzzle Corner'
Beginning with next week's
Plainsman, the Auburn Math Club
,will present a "Puzzle Corner."
Mathematical puzzles, originated
by members of the Math Club,
will be given.
Dick Inlow, president of the
group, stated: "We feel that 'The
Puzzle .Corner' will garner a bit
of interest. We have altried the
problems and they are fun. They
require no mathematical back-.
ground further than the most ele
mentary."
President Truman's chances for
•re-election are practically nil if
the opinions of a dozen Auburn
"Students run parallel with national
opinion.
Out of 12- students, called at
random in a telephone poll Monday
night, only two thought Mr.
Truman would win.
The question was: "If Truman
is nominated on the Democratic
ticket, what do you think his
chance of winning will be?"
All students answering the
question 'said they were democrats
except one—he did not claim
any party affiliation.
The answers:
Phil Hughes, Mobile: "Truman's
chances have been lowered because
of Gov. Warren's acceptance
as running mate to Gov.
Dewey."
Walter Hirschberg. Columbus,
Ga.; "I think • Mr. Truman's
chances are very slim."
Ted Harper, Fairfield: "Doubt
if he wins."
Emily Early. Birmingham: "He
doesn't stand half a chance."
Dorothy Small. N o l a s u l g a:
"He'll do better than most people
think."
'Lloyd Kranert, Montgomery:
"I don't think he'll make it."
Sara Vaughan, Birmingham:
"Dewey by a landslide."
Jerry Steele. Beatrice: "He
doesn't have a chance. His civil
rights plan has turned the Southern
vote away."
Weldon Phillips, Anniston:
"The Southern vote will be split.
Not much chance for him."
Gordon Howell, Hueytown: "He
has a good chance."
Bob Jones, LaFayette: "The,
people are against him. Not much
chance."
Lamar Slapleion, Castleberry:
"Ha, not much chance."

Campus Publications
Need Staff Members
Publications at Auburn are suffering
this quarter—from lack of
staff members!
Hugh Gaston, editor of the 1949
Glomerata, has openings for anyone
interested in working either
on the business or editorial staff
of the yearbook. Anyone interested
should report to the Glomerata
office anytime between 1-5
p.rti.
The Plainsman needs members
for the editorial staff. No experience
is necessary; only an interest
in working on a newspaper is required.
Interested persons should
come by The Plainsman office on
Tichenor Avenue near the Bell
Telephone office or call the editor
at 351-W or 448.
"A little item in a WAA release
n o t i c e d by Dorsey Barron,
WAA official here led to
the purchase," Prof. Applebee
said. Dean Bannister, Dr. Draughon,
Mr. Barron, and I gathered
to consider bidding for the paint- •
ings. Through our cooperation
and especially Mr. Barron's expert
advice, Auburn was the first
school to bid for the paintings.
Oklahoma University was also
awarded a number of them. All
pictures except those obtained by
Auburn and Oklahoma were won
by dealers who had to be veterans
in order to have priority
over us. Many museums tried to
get these works, but we had an
advantage over them in that we
are a school with a large veteran
enrollment. St. Louis Museum,
for example, had to pay $10,000
for one of two paintings in the
collection by Jonn Marin. For the
other Marin picture, Auburn
paid a "fair value' price of approximately
$29.30.
The paintings have not yet arrived
in Auburn. There will be
a special showing arranged in the
fall.
Works of such notable American
artists as Paul Burlin, William
Gropper, John Marin, Georgia
O'Keefe, Lyonel Feininger',
and Karl Knaths, and Arthur
Dove, included in the collection.
Others are Byron Browne, Ben-
Zion, George Constant, Ralston
Crawford, Julio DeDiego, Joseph
Martini, Werner Drewes, Philip
Evergood, O. Louis Guglielmi,
Robert Gwathmey, Frank Klein-holtz,
Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Ben

Photography Exhibit Now Showing In Architectural
Library Shows Value of Camera as Tool of Science
. A collection of 200 prints from
the First International Salon,
"Photography in Science", is now
on exhibit in the Arts Library
until July 12.
The Auburn Camera Club,
headed by Dr. L. K. Davis, is
responsible for bringing the exhibit
to Auburn. It has originally
been sponsored by Scientific
Monthly and the Smithsonian
Institute. ^
Purpose of the exhibit is to
show the value of the camera as
a tool in science, Dr. Davis said.
He explained, that the camera
in science has the edge on the
drama which can merely hold up
to nature. The camera can look
through nature, transfix her in
motion and unveil her where she
does not seem to exist.
In this exhibit, there is a picture
taken through an electronic
micrscope of bacillus type
bacteria magnified 37,500 times.
The bacteria brought u n d er
scrutiny look just as disagreeable
as" you would expect.
A photo of the cross section of
a human tooth by a doctor in
Wisconsin shows that gutta-percha
in a root canal filling is not
as desirable as Fiberglass, because
the gutta-percha shrinks
and the Fiberglas does not. .
Another shows that the scales
on a single strand of squirrel fur
form a remarkably beautiful
pattern. i
A U. S. Department of Agriculture
man supplies a photo of
a honey been recovering from a
carbon monoxide anaesthesia.
The particular method of taking
the picture provided a more detailed
photo than has ever been
obtained by any other method.

Post Of Dietician Necessitates
Planning Meals 6 Weeks Ahead
By Fran R. Harper
If you're having trouble^plan-ning
meals for your little family
of four this hot weather, just imagine
your self in Miss Ibbie Jozies'
position—she plans three meals a
day for nearly 2000 people.
As head dietician Miss Jones
plans meals six weeks in advance
for each of the college dining
halls.
This fall she's going to have
450" more people to plan for.
-<?Tflfey'll be the residents of the
new $1,000,000 dormitory for men
which will open September 1.
Actually, the dormitory will be
the realization of a vear of hard-work
for Miss Jones. She has
worked with interior decorators
planning the color schemes in the
draperies and furnishings. The
$50,000 kitchen and dining hail
is her primary interest however,
and come September she'll move
into new offices in the dormitory
where she can be close by to supervise.
Miss Wynelle Adkins will be
dietitian at the .dormitory. Her
assistant has not yet been appointed.
Miss Jones describes the kitchen
as the most modern in the state,
and says that it compares beautifully
with the latest surveys for
scientific feeding of students on
college and university campuses.
Men students in the dorm will
take their meals cafeteria style.
The meals wil be similar to those
served the girls, but the quantity
will be heavier for college boys
certainly don't have delicate appetites.
The cafeteria line will consist
of a warming cabinet for dishes,
an electric dry steam counter,
thermostatically c o n t r o l l e d a
heated bread container, a dole

will top off the afternoon following
the rebuilding and repainting

In-order to plan the meals six
weeks in advance, Miss Jones receives
market reports every day
from Montgomery and Atlanta.
By saving them from year to year
she can tell when certain' fresh
fruits and vegetables will be plentiful.
-
Although each dining hall has
its own dietitian, Miss Jones not
only sets up the menu, but the
ingrediehts and quantities that
will be needed for each meal.
Meat is delivered to the school
once a week and fresh produce
twice a week.
Chicken and eggs are produced
at the college poultry farm. Milk
and ice cream are produced at the
college dairy.
However, it takes a tremendous
amount of money to feed
2000 persons. Already five tons of
coffee and five tons of cheese
have been ordered for next year's
menus. A sum of $15,000 has been
set aside for bread, and this of
course doesn't include biscuits
and corn bread prepared in the
college kitchens.
There's an order too for approximately
23 tons of sugar,
155,000' punds of potatoes, 75,000
dozen eggs and 27,000 pounds of
breakfast bacon. Miss Jones plans
on serving 110,000 pounds of bee,f
and she hasn't gotten 'around yet
to figuring the pounds of fish,
pork, veal and other meats she'll
be needing.

Pi Tau Sigma
illinium
Pi Tau Sigma was founded in
•1915 at the University of Illinois
and has since grown to national
recognition, having chapters in
most of the leading engineering
schools and colleges.
By special recognition and establishment
of a closer bond of
fellowship, it seeks to promote the
mutual interest of those, who by
their academic or practical
achievements, manifest a real interest
and marked ability in their
chosen work.

RADIO CLUB'S NEW TRAHSMfTTER
WILL HAVE EMERGENCY FUNCTION
Officials of the Auburn Radio
Club announced Monday that the
club's 400-watt transmitter in
the Communications lab building
is nearing completion. The new
transmitter will be a part of a
network of college radio stations
set up for the benefit of nontechnical
students who wish to
communicate. Students will converse
on prearranged schedules,
just as they do on their private
transmitters back home. A major
purpose of the network is the
promotion of a closer fraternal
spirit between the various schools.
In times of emergency the
Auburn Radio Club transmitter
will render communication with
key points in the state, to fill in
for police and radio messages,
telephone, telegraph, and other
agencies whose services have
been interrupted. The club: has
emergency equipment to maintain
communications in cases of
power failure.
Anyone interested in any phase
of radio and electronics is cordially
invited to attend club meetings,
which are held every Tuesday
evening at seven in Communications
lab room 10.
More than 90 per cent of all
automobile accidents in 1947 involved
cars with no apparent defects.

Seventy-Six Auburn Middies Leave San Francisco
For Their Two-Months Cruise In The Blue Pacific
Seventy-six midshipmen of the
Auburn NROTC Unit were scheduled
Saturday to leave San
Francisco on their summer
cruise.
' The Auburn men are accompanying
3200 other NROTC .college
midshipmen from over the
nation. The cruise will take them
to the Pacific for two months of
practical shipboard training, according
to Lt. Robert N. Adrian,
instructor in Naval Science and
, Tactics.
In San Francisco the middies
were divided into two groups.
Twenty-five Auburn juniors
tjoarded the 37,000 ton aircraft
carrier, USS Princeton, with 600
other junior midshipmen.
The 52 Auburn sophomores
boarded the cruser Pasadena in
the s.ophpmore-senior cruise group
which consists of the cruisers
' Pasadena, Astoria, Springfield,
arid the battleship, Iowa.
All cruisers left San Francisco
Saturday. The carriers will proceed
directly to the Hawaiian Islands
conducting air operations,
gun drills, and ship exercises en-route.
At Pearl Harbor the middies
will make observation
i flights from airfields in the
Hawaiian area, tour aviation
facilities, and will be granted
periods &f liberty recreation in
the Honolulu area.
The junior cruise will depart
from the Hawaiian Islands on
July 13 and will arrive in San
Diego for a month of flight
•v operations, gunnery, and amphibious
exercises.
Cruisers and the battleship of
the sophomore-senior cruise, with
52 "Auburnites aboard, will go directly
to Seattle from 'Frisco. The
Fourth of July will be spent in
Seattle. The group will proceed
to the Hawaiians, conducting
exercises enroute. In Pearl Harbor,
they'll receive submarine
training and will also be granted
periods of liberty.
This group will depart for San
Diego July 30 and join the carriers
of the junior group for a
mass amphibious operation off
^he coast of Southern California
the first and second weeks in
August.
All of the ships will leave San
Diego August 19 and two days
later the middies will disembark
in San Francisco and leave immediately
for their homes for 30
days leave before returning to
college.
Full active duty pay will be
given the middies on the cruise,
as well as rail travel to and from
homes.
The Auburn men to make the
cruise are: Clint D. Anderson,

Veterans' Official Issues Statement
To Clear Up i l l s ' Medical Rights
In an effort to clear up an apparent
misunderstanding oh the
part of veterans, their organizations
and private physicians, M.
E. Head, Manager of the Montgomery
Veterans Hospital, today
outlined the difference between
requirements for free medical
care and free hospital treatment
• for veterans.
\ : Free medical care is available
(only for disabilities which have
been determined to be due to military
service, Head explained.
' "A veteran who has a disability
NOT due to service should go to
his private physicians as would
any other citizen," the VA Hospital
Manager continued. "If the
physician "finds that the veteran's
case is a hospital case requiring
emergency admission, the
physician may request hospitalization
by telephone collect to the
nearest V. A. hospital, provided
that the veteran' states that he is
unable to pay for his own care.
A yeteran who needs hospital
care of a routine nature and NOT
for an emergent condition should
forward his application for hospitalization
(VA Form 10-P-lO),
containing his own physician's
statement, to the VA Regional
Office, 400 Lee Street, Montgomery,
for appropriate action when,
and -if, vaSlnfc beds are- ava'ilaljie'
in a.' veteran's hospital.
Tfie Hospital Manager pointed
out that the VA hospital in Montgomery
can barely take care of
service-cdnnected cases and real
emergencies of a non-service nature
and that free hospitalization
can be authorized for non-service
connected disabilities only when
surplus beds are available.

Why Da Auburn Students Commit
Thoughtless and Selfish Acts?
Did you ever stop to consider just why
Auburn students walk across lawn areas
or commit any of several thoughtless and
selfish acts which run counter to the general
good of the student body? A symposium
of opinion about these careless deeds
could be resolved into the following two
major factors: -
1—A bold disregard for the rights of,
-others might explain the actions of people
who block stairways and crowded halls
for their conversations, of those who roar
through residential districts and past
Drake Infirmary with unmuffied motor
vehicles of all sorts. Thoughtless unconcern
probably tempers the conduct of con-
4,, >* struction-site spectators who must be continually
warned out of the way of workmen
and machines; temporal expediency
must ^characterize anyone's parking his
car on lawn or walking across the grass
areas which Buildings and Grounds employees
have so carefully nutured for the
beautification of our campus.
Acquiring an appreciation of the value
of judging the greatest good for the greatest
number is a lesson that comes hard on
the college-undergraduate level. If anyone
has not become accustomed to living with
his fellow man before he reaches his twenties,
this lesson usually is imparted to him
in harsh and dramatic fashion. Think of
the other fellow and start to live for the
benefit of humanity—the all-for-me chap
started going into a decline even before
the moss-backed bivalvular isolationist.
2—There's just a chance that some of
the students on this campus are not familiar
with the Buildings and Grounds Department's
pleas to stay off their struggling
seeded areas, "Keep Off the Grass"
pleas which The Plainsman has phrased in
• 57 different ways. Have you missed our
handrunning announcements from the
contractors about staying away from the
building-site activities connected with the
new Wilmore engineering lab?—these announcements
are for your own good, too.
It might be feasible for the administration
or student leaders to sponsor mass
meetings of the student body, not just for
making-announcements, but also to foster
the Auburn Spirit and to build a better
feeling of cooperation and mutual understanding.
The Stadium would be a good place for,
this kind of meeting, because of its association
with all that is best about the
Auburn Spirit in its real, not legendary,
form.
Student assembly meetings could also
be occasions when new school officials
could meet the student body. Many people,
for example, have attended Football
Coach Earl Brown's spring training sessions,
and have met Coach Brown at va-.
rious small gatherings, but our new football
coach has never been introduced to
the complete student body. It is only
through close association that people understand
each other's objectives and cooperate
in order that they may succeed.
Congressional Criticism Sends
$18,000 Art Collection To Us
Three administration officials and a
member of the War Assets Administration
are to be congratulated. They are Acting-
President Ralph Draughon, Dean Turpin
C. Bannister, Professor Frank W. Apple-bee,
and Mr. Dorsey Barron of WAA.
It was* this foursome that took swift
action after one of them had noticed a
small item in a WAA bulletin. Subsequent
procedure led to the purchase by the 'college
of 36 valuable paintings and water
colors.
These works of art received much publicity
sometime ago after the State Department
purchased them for approximately
$18,000 for exhibit overseas. All
by American artists, the works were for
the purpose of showing the achievement
of modern American art to people abroad.
Then someone in Congress heWd about
the project. A rumpus was raised—the
criticism was stinging—and the paintings-were
recalled from Cuba and Czechoslovakia
where they were being exhibited.
Members of the faculty of the applied
art department were surprised that Auburn
was so highly successful in obtaining
the paintings. The surprise was heightened
since the first news of the bid was heard
over the radio released from Nw York.
Professor#Applebee said: "Despite the
great controversy over these paintings in
the newspapers and in the Halls of Congress,
our State Department did an excellent
piece of work in assembling the
original collection of 117 paintings. I am
amazed that we have been so successful.
One third of all these oils and water colors
will come to Auburn. Of all the schools
in the country, apparently, Auburn and
Oklahoma were aware of the proper procedure
to be followed for the obtaining of
these works. Auburn's bid, we have been
told, got in ahead of all others.
"Through the obtaining of these paintings,
API will have a contemporary painting-
collection that probably will not be
surpassed by that of any other school in
the nation," Prof. Applebee continued.
"Our present students and all others of the
future will benefit through contact with
these works.
"All pictures except those obtained by
Auburn and Oklahoma, were won by dealers
who had to be veterans in order to
have priority over us. Many museums
tried to get these.works, but we had an advantage
over them in that we are a school
with a large veteran enrollment."
Status of Architecture School
Due Largely To Dean Bannister '
The present high status of Auburn's
school of architecture and arts is largely
due to Dean Turpin C. Bannister who is
leaving to become head of architecture at
the University of Illinois.
When Dean Bannister succeeded Dean
Frederic Child Biggin in 1944, he immediately
began building. In 1945 the archi-tecture~
curriculum was accredited on- the
first as well as subsequent lists issued by
the National Architectural Accrediting
Board.
The same year there was inaugurated a
four year curriculum in building construction
designed to give technical collegiate
training in the fields of building, contract-,
ing, building material, production and distribution,
and the building inspection services
maintained by municipalities and insurance
rating agencies. Enrollment in
building construction has been increased
to nearly 150 students. Dean Bannister
saw that the school took a professional
spirit in building construction. Auburn is
one of the few schools in the country to
offer such a service. Graduates are still
eagerly sought.
Dean Bannister has also taken great interest
in the student architect's association
with students and instructors in interior
design, landscape architecture, and
applied arts. In 1945 the school of architecture
was expanded to include the department
of music and dramatic arts.
The University of Illinois should be
proud to acquire the services of such a man
as 44-year-old Dean Bannister. As Acting-
President Ralph ^Draughon said, "Dean
Bannister will be a difficult man to replace,
for he has done an excellent piece
of work here, one.of which he may well
be proud."
Dr. Duncan's Committee Found *
'Auburn University' All Right
Four years ago a faculty committee was
appointed by the late Dr. Luther Noble
Duncan to investigate the possibility of
changing the name Alabama Polytechnic
Institute to Auburn University.
The committee found that the name
should be changed.

Last week I was shocked to learn that the Democratic
party is composed of a bunch of mercenary, idiotic politicians
who, in the course of 16 years, killed little pigs^ got us into
war, started inflation, and put Communists into public'office.
I gnashed my teeth and pulled my hair as the Republican
orators at the convention told me
Sellers
what a damn fool I have been. To
think that I could have been so
stupid as tp vote a Democratic
ticket-^never dreaming of the
consequences of my folly. And
then they named the people who
r u i n e d t h is
country. Franklin
D. Roosevelt,
Henry Wallace,
and Harry Truman
did it, and
those nice Republicans
finally
told me about
it. I shudder to
t h j i n k that I
might have gone
for years, not
knowing.

The Ku Klux Klan, 'like the
filthy, sneaky jackals they are in
these modern times, stooped to a
new low recently. Two white
counsellors at a Negro Girl Scout
camp near Bessemer were evicted,
and the camp broken up by a
large group of "respectable" men
who didn't have the courage to
show their faces.
According to interviews with
local people, the two women actually
took their meals with the
Negro girls, and they horrified
the women of the little community
by going to the stores scantily
clad. Obviously, the Ku
Kluxers must have reasoned, the
whole thing was against nature.
It sounds like the local women
might have been jealous because
they, too, couldn't go to the
stores scantily clad.

It's hard to find a book nowadays
with a happy ending. I can
remember when novels were easy
to predict before reading. Boy
met girl; boy got into trouble;
girl met another boy; boy got
out of trouble; and girl decided
she loved boy number one after
all. No matter what variations
were used on this theme, all the
good people lived happily ever
after.
But after reading several books
by Faulkner, Caldwell, Cain, and
others, I have gotten into a very
, pessimistic frame of mind. You
can depend on these writers' heroes
and heroines ending up either
dead, starving, broke, insane,
or pregnant.
The other day I bought a little
book by Horace McCoy called
"They S h o o t Horses, Don't
They?" I was all set for something
like "Black Beauty," hoping
evilly tbat someone had finally
gotten around to shooting him.
Not in this book. It is about,
of all things, a dance marathon.
If you read it straight through
without dropping exhausted at
the end you just aren't human. It
seems that Robert, who is broke,
and Gloria, who is also broke,
decide to enter a dance marathon
so they can eat. During the course
of 879 hours continuous dancing,
with 10 minute breaks for sleeping
and eating, Gloria sours on
the world, as who wouldn't. After
the first 250 hours she started
talking about suicide; at the
»end of 500 hours she made illicit
love with the manager, trying to
forget; and after 879 hours she
has talked Robert into shooting
her, and if he hadn't done it, I
would have. He plugs her in the
head very matter-of-factly, mak- ••
ing the canny observation, "They
shoot'horses, don't they?" At the
end of the book, Robert is headed
for execution, and the reader is
tempted to hold his hand while
they turn on the juice.

There is a small restaurant on
College Street whose n a m e,
though misspelled, is a synonym
for politeness and refinement.
This is ironical to the point of being
humorous. A number of people
have reported insults and ill
treatment there. Nearly everyone
I have talked to who ever ate
at the place has seen or heard
evidence to bear this out. To
mention a specific example — a
student who went into buy a coke
was told to drink it hurriedly arid
leave so there would be more
room for the lunch customers.
There is no law against making
a man feel like a peon, but there

The 23rd Psalm of an Engineer's Sweetheart
J/erily, I say unto you, marry
not an engineer.
For an engineer is a strange
being, and is possessed of many
devils.
Yea, he speaketh eternally in
parables, which he calleth formulae.'
And he wieldeth a big stick
which he calleth a slide rule.
t And he hath
™""i only one Bible, a
handbook.
He t h i nketh
only of stresses
and strains and
without end of_
thermo.
He weareth always
a serious
| aspect and he
seemeth not to
know
Coleman How to smile,
and picketh his seat in the car
by the springs therein
And not by damsels. ^
Neither does he know a waterfall
except by its. horsepower1,
and a sunset, except that he must
turn on the lights, nor a damsel
Except by her live weight.
Always he carries his books
with him, and entertaineth
His sweetheart with steam
tables.
Verily, tho his damsel expect-eth
candy, when he calleth,
She opened the package but to
disclose iron ore.
Yea, he holdeth his damsel's
hand but to measure the friction,
And he kisseth her but to test
the viscosity.
For in his eyes there shineth a
far-away look that is neither
Love nor longing—rather a vain
attempt to recall a formula.
There is but one key to his
heart, and that is Tau Beta Pi,
and
One love letter for which he
yearneth, and that is an "A."
When his damsel writeth of
love and signeth with crosses
He takes these symbols not for
kisses, but rather,
For unknown quantities.
Even as a boy, he pulleth a
girl's hair, but tp test its elasticity,
But as a man he discovered different
devices;
For he counteth the vibrations
of her heart strings;,and
He seeketh ever to pursue his
scientific investigations,
Even his heart flutterings he
counteth a vision of beauty
And inscribeth his passion as a
formula.
And his marriage is as a simultaneous
equation, i
Involving two unknowns and
yielding diverse results.

According to reports reaching us
from an unusually reliable source,
one of the great mysteries which
for years has baffled the country
was solved last week. At first it
was feared that the news might
prove to be too much for a public
keyed to a high pitch by such
things as an impending draft, a
Republican convention, and the
capture of Acres O'Reilly. There
were those who maintained that
the release of the news at that
time would be reflected in rising
prices, a market crash, and a run
on the banks. However, cooler
heads prevailed and the story "Was
sent winging out to. the far corners
of the country. Luckily,
the great American public took
the whole thing right in stride.
What was it? For the benefit of
those who may not have heard
of the discovery and for those
who heard about it hut couldn't
bring themselves to believe it,
I'll try to bring you up to date.
At last, after all these years,
science, that great institution that
only a few short years ago labored
and brought forth the atomic
bomb, has whirled us past another
milestone along the road to
wherever it is we're going. Hang
on to your hats. The nest of the
foristle-thighed curlew has been
found! Yes, that's right. (This
bird takes it's name from it's un- '
usual call. At the height of the
season they can be seen night and
day o'er field and stream, and
their shrill cry of "bristle thighed
curlew,!" echoes through the
great forests of this land.)
For well over a hundred years
the location of the nest of the
b.t.c. has had the greatest ornithological
minds in the country,
you should pardon the- expression,
up a tree. Where was the
pesky thing? It was rumored that
the person who came forward
with the answer could write his
own ticket. Of all the native
American birds, only the b.t.c.
succeeded in maintaining the privacy
of it's home. One by one the
other birds were tracked down.
Science continued it's relentless
march. Then only the b.t.c remained
unfound.- For years and
years this went on. It seemed like
they never would find the damn*
thing, but Science (with a capital
S) never gives up. A few days ago
a vacationing ornithologist was
rooting around up in Alaska.
Never can tell, you know. When
he found the nest, he rushed to
the nearest Western Union office
and wired the news of /his discovery
to his superior officer,
whose great ornithological mind
is employed by Cornell University.
The file on the bristle thighed
curlew is now complete.
Nothing Here By Graham McTeer
My eye and ear were caught by
catchy phases during the past
week. The first, "I feel a draft"
was used soon after the House •
and Senate agreed on a Selective
Service act. The moaning by eli-gibies
and razzing by men of experience,
which had gone on since
the first hint of a bill last
quarter, were touched off by the
final decree, but soon passed. The
next stage was the worried inspection
of all phases of the bill by
the doubtfuls, wondering if they
were exempt, and investigation
by many eligibles of schemes to
become untouchables. Reserve
unit numbers were swelled, and
advanced ROTC was looked forward
to by basic students.
The second phrase was used in
the (in)famous GOP convention
last week. In seconding the nomination
of Taft, a lady delegate
from Missouri spoke of Tom Dewey
as an undesirable "warmed-over
candidate from the 1944 race,
but the difference of his opponent
then and now might make the
fact negligible. Of course, the lady
from Missouri changed her vote
to that candidate whom she had
spoken against so vigorously,
when the final band wagon rolled.
The toothsome picture that graced
the front page of the Birmingham
Age-Herald the morning after
the nomination should be enough
to ruin his chances in November,
if that picture were nationally
used. ,
The third phrase had to do with
the other main event of the week
—the Louis-Walcott bout. It called
the match between the two 34-
year olds the "Battle of the Ages".
That the two had seen better days
was evident from the sluggish
fight, which the announcer adr
mitted wasn't an exciting one. At
last the Brown Bomber must realize
his natural handicap, or 34
of them, for his announcement,
"for my mother", that he had
fought his last fight came soon
after the K. O.

"Po'kchop" Tolliver had his.
bare feet propped on the lame
tabje when I barged into his
room, and a tired electric fan was
pushing a stale breeze against,
the pages of the newspaper he
was reading. As he slammed
down his nearly-empty glass and
jumped to his feet, the glass
knocked some bottle caps and
cigar stubs off the table to the
floor, and he nearly fell as he
tired a low bow amid a maze of
towels, magazines, shirts, and
fishing tackle.
"Enter, colonel, you are always
welcome at the Skillet," he intoned.
"I hope you don't mind
drinking tapwater with your
bourbon?"
"In separate glasses, Po'kchop,
if you can arrange it," I specified.
"As a chaser the diluting agent
is sorta optional. Catching up on
hometown news, I notice—what's ,
new on Main Street?"
' "Well, colonel, the "society'1,
columns of the Pine County Pica
don't hold the appeal for me that
these items by the Auburn Extension
Service Specialists do. Listen—
Store your heavy blankets
with layers of moth flakes bet-tween
them, advises Lynn C.
Woolsey, Auburn Extension Service
textiles specialist."
"Why, Po'kchop, you must be
kidding—anybody who'd enjoy
that stuff would read the recipes
in Friday's paper for fun," I
said.
"Sure, just today I saw a fine
recipe for Chive-Chokecherry
Chicken—Chitt'ling Chowmein
and Chocolate Chip-Chard Chop-s
u ' e y w i t h Chicory-Cheddar
Cheese Chili Sauce. First you
cook enough chard for four in
some slightly-salted water, then
add one package of bittersweet
chocolalte chips and a can of
chopsuey mix. In a separate
sauce-pan saute a half-pound of
chicken chitt'lings with a can of

of chive to taste, and add a pint
of pitted chokecherries. Chill,
combine these at the table in your

cup of prepared chili sauce, a

this?" I asked.

MEN
Men are what women marry.
They have two feet and two hands
and sometimes two wives, but
never more than one dollar or
more than one idea at a time.
Like Turkish cigarettes, men are
all made of the same material.
The only differenee is that some
are a little better distinguished
than others.
Generally speaking, they may
be divided into three classes: hus-..
bands, bachelors, and widowers.
An eligible bachelor is a mass of
obstinacy surrounded by suspicion.
Husbands are of three varieties:
prizes, surprises, and consolation
prizes. Making a husband
of a man is one of the highest
plastic arts known to civilization.
It requires science, sculpture,
common sense, faith, hope
and charity. s
It is a psychological marvel
' that a soft, fluffy, tender violet-scented
little thing like a woman'
should enjoy kissing a big, awk-»
ward stubby-chinned, tobaccoey
and bay rum scented thing like
a man.
If you flatter a man it frightens
him to death. If you permit him
to make love to you he gets tired -
of you in the end, and if you don't
he gets tired of you in the beginning.
If you believe him in
everything he does, you soon cease
to charm him. If you believe all
he tells you, he thinks you are
a fool, and if you don't he thinks
you a cynic. If you wear any gay
colors, rouge, and a startling hat,
he hesitates to take you out, and
if you wear a little brown toque
and a tailor-made suit he takes
you out and stares all evening at
the women in gay colors.
If you join him in all his gaities
and approve of his smoking, he
swears you are driving him to
the devil, and if you don't approve
of his smoking and his gaities, he
vows you are treating hiiri like
the devil. If you are the clinging
vine type, he doubts whether you
have a brain and if you are the
modern advanced and independent
woman he doubts whether
you have a heart. If you are popular
with other men he is jealous,
and if you are not, he hesitates to
marry a wallflower.
In conclusion, all men are like
street cars—if you don't catch the
first one there'll always be another.
But on the other hand, it .
hurts like the devil to walk— ?

meeting date. Dr. Hollis Arment,
James and Cletis Miller, and Eugene
Davis are the singing gentlemen.
(Dr. Arment, don't feel too
bad—we would like to see you
become a member of FFA and be
a farmer.)
You fellows who did not attend
the meeting missed some fine ice
cream which was given free.
Think of that—something which
was given away in Auburn! Students,
come out next time for
you cannot catch bugs when its
dark (if the professor knows when
you caught them.)
We were also glad to see the
new faces of the freshman and
transfer students. Some of these
faces are getting rather old.

Alabama Has One Car
For Every 7 Persons
Alabama, with its automobile
population up to 35.8 per cent
since 1944, ranks fifth among the
states in recovering from the
wartime low in car registration,
Powel Crosley, Jr., pioneer light-neight
car manufacturer, pointed
out here- today. Only Maine,
Florida, New Mexico and Mississippi
have shown bigger i~{
creases.
Based on recent census figures,
there is' one passenger car for
every 7,86 persons in Alabama.
"Such a gain in the Cotton
State is partly traceable to important
shifts of population in
recent years from the industrial
east, midwest and grain states to
the south, southwest and Pacific
Coast," Crosley. said. "Alabama
appears not onfy to have
benefited by this trend but also
to have improved the economy
of its people."
Motor vehicle ownership in
this state rose from 336,375 in
1944 to 483,990 last year. Continued
progress in this direction,
Crosley said, is * refsected in the
growing demand for small cars
which provide economical, transportation
for many families who
have; hitherto been priced out of
the automotive market.

of the Inn," "Banned in Boston,"
and others, is working on an acting
fellowship at, the University
of Virginia for the summer quarter.
Bob will return to Auburn in
the fall.

RE A Aid Bill Pushed Through Congress
In Last Minute Rush tor Adjournment
Senator Lister Hill, Alabama's
senior senator, turned to the advantage
of REA the Republican
stampede for adjournment. In the
closing hours before adjournment
of congress, Senator Hill introduced
on the Senate Floor and secured
the adoption of an amendment
to the Second Deficiency
Appropriation Bill, adding $225,-
000 in vitally needed administrative
funds fpr REA. Three weeks
earlier the Senate increased by
$450,000 the funds- allowed by the
House for REA administrative
purposes.
"The funds secured under my
amendment," Hill said, "will" not
only mean many more miles of
new REA lines in Alabama but
will insure the processing and proper
^ servicing of both new and
existing loans and better and more
efficient electric service to all users
of REA power in Alabama."
In a fast series of floor maneuvers,
a $450,000 admentment aimed
at providing the full administrative
funds called for in the
budget estimate for the fiscal year
beginning July 1st, was added to
the Independent Offices Appropriation
Bill, promptly knocked
out by the House conferees and
successfully reoffered by Hill to'
the Deficiency Bill. Half the
amount was saved over House
opposition in a heated conference
just before Congress adjourned.
Urghig his amendment, Hill
said, "The failure of Congress to
provide essential administrative
funds last year resulted in serious
loss of key administrative
and technical personnel, hampering
the administration and expansion
of REA throughout the
entire United States, particularly
in the less accessible rural areas."
Hill cited the growth of electrified
farms in Alabama since REA
began, from 11,053 in 1935 to 107,-
281 last year.
