New Student Magazine,
'The Auburn Review1
Now Being Published
The first issue of a quarterly lit­erary
magazine, The Auburn Re»
view, is being published this
month by a group of students in­terested
in creative writing at Au-jburn.
The idea for the magazine
(originated in a creative writing
course now being offered by the
English department.
The first issue of the magazine
will contain a large percentage of
student material, but it will also
contain several poems and articles
by faculty members.
Subscriptions for the magazine
are being sold for 25 cents per is­sue
and anyone wishing to take
out a subscritpion should contact
Mrs. Virginia Sorenson in the
English department office on the
third floor of Samford Hall.
The publishers of The Auburn
Review have requested that stu­dents,
faculty members, or towns­people
who are interested in pub­lishing
their writings leave a copy
of their manuscripts with Mrs.
Sorenson. All submitted material,
they pointed out, will be read and
discussed by a five-person board
before being judged.
FPHA Dormitory
Damaged By Fire
A fire last Wednesday after­noon
damaged the upper floor of
Barracks 12 of the FPHA dormi­tories.
Some 15 students in the
barracks at the time escaped with­out
injury and managed to save
clothing and furniture by throw­ing
them from the windows.
Auburn firemen with the aid of
student volunteers brought the
fire under control and extinguish­ed
the flames in about an hour.
Damage was estimated at between
$2,000 and $2,500 by Sam F. Brew­ster,
director of buildings and
grounds.
A defective flue in the heating
system was believed to have
started the fire which broke out
on the second floor. Major damage
was confined to several rooms
I near the outbreak of flames. Dam-
I age to other rooms was principal­ly
from smoke and water.
The dormitory was a converted
army barracks which housed 39
students.
'Cavalleria Rusticana'
To Feature New Method
A new method in opera pro­duction

with by having it read the music
from the score.

presented on February 22 and 23.

Auburn Students To Take Blood Tests
From February 28 Through March 11
The State Department of Health, in conjunction with the
United States Public Health Service, will launch a mass blood
testing orogram for syphillis in-Lee County February 28.
Students at Auburn, as well as all county residents be­tween
the ages of 14 and 50, will be obliged to submit to the
test, Dr. J. T. Strickland, director
of student health, announced to­day.
Two registered nurses of the
State Health Department will set
up a testing station for students in , of Alabama than in any other
the tiasement of Samford Hall.
Tests will be given from Febru­ary
28 until March 11. Every stu­dent
at the college will receive a
card notifying him of the time
and place when he is to report for
his test.
Blood testing for syphilis be­came
compulsory in Alabama in
1943 through a bill passed by the
State Senate. All 67 counties in
Alabama have held tests for their
citizens in compliance with this
law. In .1947, an amendment was
passed requiring a re-test in all
counties. Lee County is the ninth
to submit to the re-testing.
State health records show that
one person out of 10 was discov­ered
to be infected with syphilis
during the first testing. In the re-testing
to date, there has been a
decrease in the amount of infec­tion,
proving, health officers say,
that mass testing and treatment
pays off.
In the fiscal year of 1948, more
syphilis was reported in the state
state. Ten per cent of the admis­sion
to mental institutions are
syphilis victims, and syphilis has
recently been discovered as one of
the major causes for heart dis­ease.
The test to be given is quick
and thorough, hut painless. A re­port
wiil be sent back from Mont­gomery
on each person tested,
notifying him as to whether he
has been found positive or nega­tive.
Those persons found positive
will be given free treatment Jor
syphillis at a rapid treatment hos­pital.
However, at their own ex­pense,
they may obtain treatment
from a private physician.
The two nurses testing in the
Auburn station are expected to
complete 400 tests each per day so
that the testing may \>e completed
by March 11.
"Among students at Auburn, as
in other institutions, the com­mittee
feels that there is an in­creasing
intellectual curiosity con­cerning
religion and a growing
realization that spiritual develop­ment
of the individual should
keep pace with his technical prog­ress,"
Mr. Edwards said.
"It is felt that through the se­ries
of services being conducted in
the college and in the churches,
students will b r a i d e d in finding
adequate faith to live by, a faith
which will give purpose, balance,
and direction to life," he added.
In order that students attend­ing
services will not miss the
same class each day, the follow­ing
schedule of services has been
arranged:
Monday, February 14, f r om

The Auburn Campus As Seen Through
The Eyes Of A Korean Student
(The following feature article was written by Chang S. Hahn. a
student from Korea. Only minor changes in grammar have been
made. Chang wrote the story with the assistance of his English
teacher Mrs. Frances McLeoeL—Editor)
By Chang S. Hahn
Te w r i t e about one of t h e American schools is a somewhat
u n n a t u r a l thing to a green foreign student who has been in
t h i s country for only t h r e e months. However, I believe that
t h i s will be a somewhat unsophisticated-impression on the
undyed heart.
I landed in this country at San Francisco on October 6,
1948, and I reached Auburn on
October 13, 1948. Studying at Au
burn for one quarter, I realized
that an American school is a
somewhat different thing from
the Korean. Since I was a student
of the Seoul National University
in Korea for two years, I can tell
all about college life in Korea.
First of all, the most different
thing that I have found here is
the educational system in Au­burn.
I was surprised when I saw
that all the students selected their
own subjects and courses as
they desired and made their own
schedules by themselves. This
shows that Auburn has developed
an educational system. By this
fact, I believe that students can
advance their talents and own
forte as far as and as soon as pos­sible.
And I also wondered that
almost no students of this school
have the class working of more
than thirty hours in a week. This
fact impressed me because stu­dents
will have plenty of time
to understand their courses com­pletely.
How about things in Korean
schools? In Korean schools, all
students in the same grade of
same courses are taught under the
fixed schedule which was made
by school personnel. There is no
freedom of making the schedules
by the students himself, and no
freedom of choosing courses as the
students desire. The shortage of
professors and materials and the
undeveloped school system do
not permit these freedoms to the
students. And everybody has more
than 45 work hours in a week.
They have only one holiday in a
week, namely Sunday. Every
school in Korea has the semester
system. However, they have two
long vacationSj that- is, summer
and winter vacation. All schools
can not continue during the win­ter,
because they do not.-, have
enough wood to warm the class­rooms.
Ordinarily each vacation
lasts for two months.
The next thing which I want to
discuss here is the peaceful class­room.
I wondered when I saw
both instructor and* students
drinking Coca-Colas in the class
hour. Someone has said that in
foreign countries children fol­low
their parents, but in the Uni­ted
States parents follow their
children. I thought this very true.
And I will say that in some fore­ign
countries students follow their
instructors but in the United
States instructors follow their stu­dents.
I think that this is an ad­vantage
of the school, because by
this manner a more perfect edu­cation
will be completed. I don't
think that the instructors' teach­ing
speed in the classroom in the
American school is as rapid as in
Korean school. I was lost in ad­miration
of such deeper teaching.
In general, there is a tendency
toward the genius-making edu­cation
in Korean schools—a con­dition
which was influenced by
Japan, since she controlled. Korea
for thirty-six years (1910-1945).
There an instructor's teaching
speed is very rapid. It is almost
difficult to understand the whole
of the instructors' lecture in the
class. Students earnestly write the
instructor's lecture in their note­books
in the classroom, and they
review it at home for long hours
by the help of many reference
books and other books. Almost all
of these are Japanese books. I
think it is almost impossible to
hope for a perfect education with
the poor quality of instructors—
I mean, not so good as American's
and the rapid teaching speed. I
have read in an American ma­gazine
that German students
make their own text books them­selves.
This is true in Korea, too.
Another thing that I was surpris­ed
at was the subjects of the
courses. The fact that any student
at Auburn is not required to take
any kind of foreign language
shows that research in every kind
of science can be carried on in

American language itself. And I
'was amazed by the fact that
every student in Auburn is re­quired
to take six quarters of phy­sical
education.
In Korea, students must take at
least two kinds of foreign lan­guages,
that is, English, and Ger­man
or French. And instructors
use at least three kinds—some­times
four kinds—or foreign lan­guages
in classroom, that is, Ko­rean,
Japanese, English, and some­times
German and French. It is
prohibited to use Japanese lan­guage
in the classroom, but often
it is necessary for better under­standing
of the lecture, because
almost all of the instructors have
been educated in Japan, or in
Korea under the Japanese edu­cational
system. Most of the stu­dents
have already been educated
in their elementary schools and
high schools in Japanese lan­guage
under the Japanese educa­tional
system.
I don't think that Auburn has
so high level of pure science. I
was surprised that integral calcu­lus
is a subject of sophomore and
that physics in electricity is a
subject of sophomore. In Korea,
students are given the elementary
theory of all calculus and physics
and chemistry at high school. And
they are given only advanced
theories of these subjects at col­lege.
However, I think, the impor­tance
is in laboratory work. I
think that the true worth of
science will be found in apply­ing
the science to the practice.
Studying in Korea is only an ima­gination
on the desk. Shortage
of materials and instruments and
equipment do not permit students
to have sufficient laboratory
work. A professor in chemistry
whom I used to know and to
whom I talked said that if the pre-sent
conditions in Korea continue,
it will be nearly impossible to do
laboratory work of chemistry in a
year. When I was a student at the
college in Korea for two years, I
had not even an hour of lab.
The next thing is the difference
between the students. The most
surprising thing about the stu­dents
is that almost all students
have a religion. Among the stu­dents
whom I met here were only
a few students who do not have a
religion. I believe that there is al­ways
the blessings of God on the
education which was based on
the believing in Him. In Korea,
there are only few students who
have a religion. Going to church
on Sunday is flonsidered a foolish
thing for the rest of students.
I think that "Enjoying Study­ing"
are most suitable words for
the American school. In America,
the students enjoy their school
life; it is quite different in Korea.
Studying is an uneasy thing in
Korea.
Another thing is the wealth of
students. When I came to this
school for the first time, I thought
that this day might be a special
day and that many honorable
guests have come to this school
from many parts of the country
for a special problem. Many
parked new cars caused me to
think so. However, soon I knew
that almost all of these new cars
belong to students, and, at the
same time, I was surprised. I
could not understand when I s»w
some students who are working
at restaurants buy new cars. It is
questionable whether their wages
are worthy for consumed gaso­line.
In the whole of South Ko­rea,
there are only several (less
than twenty) privately owned re­latively
new automobiles whose
models range from 1940 to 1948.
About three months ago, South
Korean government bought fifty
1947 automobiles from the United
States; the people and all news­papers
accused the government of
untoward conduct. Almost every
auto in Korea is a very old model
—1931-1938 model. -
All in all, American students
are blessed, because they can have
a good opportunity of studying. I
think that such impartiality of op­portunity
and such good circum­stances
for getting an education

for all people develops Ameri­can
culture day by day.
In Korea, there is no impartial
opportunity for study for all peo­ple
because of a lack of schools.
Difficulty of entrance to a school
begins from the high school. Stu­dents
are carefully chosen by
hard entrance examinations from
a great number of candidates. At
one high school in Seoul, capital
of Korea, the number of candi­dates
were as much as twenty
times the possible number in 1948.
The entrance into the college is
more difficult than that of high
school. And also there is another
kind of difficulty. It is due to the
economical conditions in Korea.
Some families can not send their
children to the school owing to
the economical problem. The re­gistration
fee of the school is high,
because the school needs a lot of
money to maintain school build­ing
and to support the instructors.
The registration fee of the same
college in Seoul for the first se­mester
of 1948 was thirty thou­sand
Won (Won is the unit of Ko­rean
money; thirty thousand Won
is worth about sixty-seven "dollars
in American money).
You American students are
blessed, at any respect. You are
blessed because you can study at
such good and peaceful schools.
Indeed, an American school is
peaceful; I can not imagine even
a moment here that is as fearful
as college life is in Korea, There,
I could see everywhere and at all
times the struggle between the
rightist and leftist. I found this
kind of struggle in mass meet­ing,
in the theatre, and even in a
small restaurant. The schools can
not be free from this kind of
struggle. Nearly all the student
meetings were a kind of struggle
—and that is all; nothing more.

Be Still And Know . . .
• ' P l o u g h the Psalmist we are enjoined
ito "J3e still and know that I am God."
^Psalm 46:1.0) Earlier, David expressed his
confidence in God's protection by saying,
^God is our refuge and strength;- a very
p r e s e n t help in trouble. Therefore we will
hpt fear, though -the mountains be carried
£nto t h e midst of t h e sea." {Psalm 46:1, 2).
Few, if any, of us r e a c h adulthood with­out
at some time or other being confronted
w i t h situations too big for us to handle,
and t u r n i n g to God for help, comfort, or
guidance. But in our times of trouble, do
we always deserve the help our Father
gives us? We go from day to day, not
t a k i n g time out for a few moments of
meditation, or a few moments, even a half
hour of reading t h e Bible. We t a k e God for
granted, but don't take time out of our
busy lives to talk with Him and get to
know our relationship to Him.
Dr. David Napier, Chaplain at the Uni­v
e r s i t y of Georgia, has given us sfjgne v e ry
i n s p i r i n g thoughts concerning our relation­ship
to God. He has asked t h e question: Do
you t h i n k God is .depending-on you? Most
people would say, yes. But his answer was,
no, you are depending on God to lead you
to do t h e right things. In other words, we
must meet God half way if we expect our
p r a y e r s to be answered. God depends on
us, yes, but only on t h e condition that we
depend on h im first.
Each of us has his own individual way
of worship. Christians w o r s h i p God
t h r o u g h his Son, Jesus Christ. People of
o t h e r religious worship God in their indi­vidual
manners. Most of us go to church
on Sunday, at least, those of us who are
i n t e r e s t e d in our spiritual welfare. Some
of us like to walk through .the woods and
t a l k w i t h God as we walk. Whatever his
manner of worship is, e v e r y worshiper will
agree that what he gains in spiritual ex­perience
strengthens h im and gives his life
deeper meaning. The more we t h i n k about
God, the n e a r e r we get to know him, and
t o . s h a r e with him the worthwhile experi­ences
of life.
Life in: .companionship with God be­comes
a well-planned life, a life of well-being
and well-doing, one of self sacrifice,
but of a thousand-fold r e t u r n in the feel­i
n g t h a t "things a r e right". A man whose
life is in t u n e w i t h God, arises each morn­ing
with the feeling that he has the
s t r e n g t h to live another day courageously.
Be still a moment and know that God is
w i t h you only if you will let h im be with
you. He d e p e n d s ' o n you. You depend on
Him.
This is the second in a series of three
editorials on various d e p a r t m e n t s and their
leaders. Those chosen for this series are,
in our opinion, the departments which
have made the g r e a t e s t educational strides
during the post-war period at Auburn.
* * *
Through funds appropriated by t h e State
L e g i s l a t u r e in 1945, a full-time forestry de­p
a r t m e n t was established at Auburn be­ginning
w i t h t h e fall q u a r t e r of 1946. Since
i t s birth, this department has been out­standing
on our campus. For t h e past two
years the forestry department at Auburn
has been recognized as one of t h e nation's
leading educational plants for men wish­ing,
to enter this profession!
Two h u n d r e d and t h i r t y - t h r e e students
a r e now majoring in forestry here. There
are between 125 and 150 vocational agri­c
u l t u r e students using the forestry de­p
a r t m e n t as an auxiliary unit for a re­q
u i r e d course jn f a rm forestry.
The 233 professional students are taking
a four-year course leading to a Bachelor
of Science and Forestry degree. There is
no graduate work being offered at the
present time in t h e forestry department at
Auburn, but when t h e u n d e r g r a d u a t e cur­r
i c u l um is permanently established, grad­u
a t e work will be offered.
At the end of the war, there were no
courses being offered in forestry at Au­burn.
There were no foresters serving in
a teaching capacity on the campus. Now
t h e r e are seven full-time teachers in the
department, and four research staff mem­bers.
Two* of t h e 11 m e n in t h e department
hold Ph. D. degrees and 9 hold "master's
degrees. T h e r e are no staff members hold­ing
only one degree.
The acadeniic training of the forestry
department represents 17 of t h e major col­leges
and universities throughout the na­tion.
Personal acquaintance with the for­ests
of every state is one of the outstand­ing
feats of t h e department as a unit.
With an emphasis on the practical as
well as the theoretical, the forestry de­p
a r t m e n t requires a 10 week's summer
camp of all forestry majors in the Little
River State Forest near Uriah. There are
facilities for 100 students plus instructors
at the camp. Classroom theory is put to
practice under conditions which students
will encounter after leaving school.
The Auburn forestry department is rec­ognized
as offering a full t r a i n i n g program
by t h e Society of American Forestry. This
honor" has come about largely because of
t h e great importance that has been placed
on talent, experience, and philosophy from
all sections of the country, in t h e selection
of faculty members.
Dr. T. D. Stevens, head of the depart­ment,
can well be proud of his staff and
physical plant. For, through his work,
Auburn's forestry department has sprung
i n to the select circle of t r u l y good depart­ments
on dur campus.
Congratulations...
Congratulations to the Auburn Debate
Council fo;r its fine management of the
i n t r a m u r a l debate tournament. The topic
chosen for this year's tournament was an
excellent one. F ew times in the history of
t h e school has t h e r e been a subject of as
much campus controversy.
Student interest in their government
has been greatly increased, and facts that
have been hidden in d a r k corners for many
years have been brought to the attention
of t h e student body.
I t is through organizations such as the
A u b u r n Debate Council t h a t the welfare
df t h e students is t a k e n into consideration.
T h e r e will always bg a jolae.e on the Au­b
u r n campus for groups of this type.
The Helm You Say!
I n the last few issues of the Plainsman
t h e r e has been a move to degrade on the
one hand and to uphold on the other the
political set-up on t h e campus here at Au­burn.
The political views of any people are
n a t u r a l l y contradictory, or not parallel,
with the line of thought of certain indi­viduals.
As long as t h e r e are people with
minds to think there will always be bick­ering
back and forth between t h e groups in
power and the group t h a t is isolated from
political leadership.
As a result of this "bringing to light"
politics on t h e campus, The Helm does not
advocate either side but it takes an im­p
a r t i a l view on the assumption that one
thing may cure the "sorethumb". The
Helm does advocate that everyone vote
in every election regardless of how in­significant
it may seem to you. To the new
freshmen, voting here at Auburn is a
privilege if you cast your vote for t h e man
you think is best qualified. The candidate
you elect is a representative of you and
your representation will be no wiser than
t h e wisdom you choose in electing them. If
each one of you vote t h e r e can be no "line­u
p " as the phrase has been coined to rail­road
certain candidates through to respon­sible
offices. However if any individual
feels that a particular line-up is electing
their man for the job, the individual is
wholly responsible. If the line-up makes
up t h e electorate, how can anyone say that
t h e elections are unfair? The electorate, of
which you are a part, is responsible for the
elections whether you vote or not. By
voting, you voice your; opinion, by not
voting you foster the opinion of someone
else.
The Helm believes the cure to political
bickering on this campus lies in voting
not the continual expression of detri­mental
criticism on the part of a group
who call themselves journalists.

THERE ANY QUESTIONS? " .
The Common M.anB^tchSbarpe
F r a t e r n i t y men—great, near-great and ingrate—might
soon be in line to gain another honor and KEY for the ab­surdly
low price of $10. A new organization, Great Greeks
(Great God!) On American Campuses, was formed a couple
of years ago' for the purpose of bringing honor to t h e nation's
fraternity men for $10 a crack
Sharpe
It may go into business here at
Auburn.
It seems to me that the price
of honor is running contrary to
the rest of prices nowadays.
Either the country's incipient in­flation
has been nipped in the
bud or Great Greeks on American
Campuses is deliberately attempt-,
ing to undersell
o t h e r h o n or
I brokers for col­lege
men. The
two leading dis­pensers
of honor
on the campus
now, ODK and
Blue Key, get
j $25 from each
recruit for their
; wares.
However price
is no object. A
gey is a key. The GGOAC would
operate sofhething like this: each
fraternity and sorority would
submit five or ten names to the
Interfraternity Council; the IFC
would select 2 per cent of these
and before you could say GGOAC
they would be Great Greeks.
If t h i s n e w organization,
GGOAC, does come to Auburn,
we are going to have to institute
some new form of classification
for the social strata of the campus
wheels. I have an idea. Since
keys are the essence of ' any
wheel, the Sharpe System of
Wheel Categorization will be cen­tered
about this 14 karat badge
of office. But the system must be
more scientific than just a "two
key" or "eight key" designation.
I have combined the mathemati­cal
approach of the Dewey Deci­mal
System for classifying library
books with the "Weight" system
of integrating prizefighters.
The result is a decimal-weight
system based on the total weight
of a wheel's keys (blank keys,
fraternity keys, Auburn keys and
high school keys excluded). A
wheel would be pegged as a 5.37
gram wheel or a 6.034 gram
wheel according to his KWI
(Key Weight Index).
Such a system would have a
great and subtle range for classi­fying
the campus cogs. Another
pleasing aspect of this system is
that a special board of wheels
would be appointed to determine
each *wheei's KWI. Of course
members of this board would re­ceive
special keys for being on
the board. The board would meet
once a quarter and their findings
would be published in The Plains­man.
Us pariahs with only a Band
key or a Plainsman key could
have fun determining our KWI's
to slide rule accuracy (2x3 equals
5.9887).
Of course this system is bound
to cause some snobbery among
the Brahmins on the campus.
Maybe it is an undemocratic de­vice
after all. As things stand
now, wheels are wheels by mu­tual
and common consent and as­sent—
a truly democratic ap­proach."
Any system which would
raise one wheel as much as .001
above another might be frowned
on as un-American or at least
unfair. But on the whole, I think
that the system is an equitable
way of determining the relative
positions, of wheels on the cam­pus.
Another leature of the KWI
classification system which ought
to appeal to the local wheels is
that the head wheel each quarter,
i. e., the one -with the highest
KWI, would receive a special key
in commemoration of the fact.
This key's weight would in turn
boost his KWI and add incentive.
The possibilities are unlimited.

Lest it be said that I am too
harsh on wheels, I will point out
a very commendable thing which
they did once. During the seige
of Port Arthur in 1894, the Japa­nese
ran short on ammunition
for their big cannon. The wheels
at the University of Tokio all
donated their keys to be made
into shells. After the Japanese
had qaptured Port Arthur, the
grateful Nipponese government
organized an honor society for
these patriotic wheels, called it
the Sigma Omega Beta and gave
keys to every one of the S.O.B.'s.

BURP By Boyd Hinton
For a good many years, posters
have been popular. The idea, of
course, being that when there was
something to say, put it in big
clear readable writing on a post­er
and let the masses have a fling
at it.
But the makers of posters got
tired of having them the same all
the time. Perhaps they thought
the posters-readers were not pay-
' ing proper atten­tion
to them so
t h e y l o o k ed
around for some­thing
new.
Posters had be­ll,
come so simple
;|that a n y b o dy
] could read them.
I The print was so
I clear-they could
be used for eye-testing
charts or
road signs. This
Hinton would never do
so they tried a new idea. They
made them as confusing as pos­sible.
It is probably true that this
practice stirs up no end of interest
but as far as I'm concerned it's a
damned nuisance.
There are two types that are
particularly offensive to me. They
are the ones that either says, "It's
coming," and nothing else, or the
unknown initial kind. ' j
When I read the "It's coming"
type, my blood begins to boil and
bubble and I entertain violent
ideas. In the first place, my mind •
is made up then and there that I
won't go.
It might be coming, and might
have come a long way, but as far
as I'm concerned it can keep on
coming. I'll refuse to go.
The other type, (unknown ini­tial),
is even worse. This is a
down right insult to anyone who
can read. If I knew what the ini­tials
stood for, I would have no
kick. But most of them are not
familiar, in fact, I have never
heard of most of them, even when
spelled out. Now what kind of a
thing is this? If you don't know
what something is how can you
know whether nor not you want
to go?
Let's simplify these posters.
Let's make them readable. Who
would want to go to something
that's advertised "XYZ is com­ing,
will you be there?", anyway.
Oh nuts!!!

DEAD END
Not too long ago, while I was in
grammar school, I experienced a
strange escapade of fear, hatred,
and prejudice. I was on my way
home from school one day when
I met a small Negro boy walking
toward me. We were in an un­kempt
section of town, and the
side-walk was very narrow. Huge
mud puddles frowned at us from
both sides, and a gushing gut­ter
warned that there was not
enough room for both of us on the
sidewalk, and that the Negro
wanted to take my place. "Sup­pose,"
thought I, "this little picka­ninny
refuses io move over?"
WTiat if he tries to push me into
the gutter?"
I was desperately afraid that
this "inferior creature" might en­ter
into competition with me for
the best portion of the sidewalk,
and this fear dominated my will
and clouded my reason. Without
thinking, I decided that the best
way to retain my rightful place
on the pavement and to "put the
Negro in his place" was to push
him into the gutter and then sit
on him. And that is exactly what
I did. v
Now I was no heavyweight at
the time, despite my 70 pounds,
but still I was almost twice as
large as the Negro. I was able to
shove him into the gutter with
very little effort. He was uns-doubtedly
a "good Negro", be­cause
his only indication of resis-
By Joe Pilcher
tance was a feeble effort to rise
above the mud where I had forced
him.
Cheered on by the successful
showing I had made, I then de­cided
that I would keep the Negro
in his place. Without thinking of
the consequences of my act, I
jumped down into the gutter with
him and proceeded to hold his
arms. It was fairly easy, except
that it required both of my hands
too. So enthused was I that I
failed to notice the mud which
clung to my clothes, or the slime
that streaked my face. It's a pe­culiar
thing, but mud is no res-pector
of color.
Sooner or later, however, even
the best schemes go astray, and
mine proved to be no exception.
It wasn't too long before I rea­lized
that in order to keep the
Negro in his place, I had to stay
in the same gutter and wallow in
the same filth I had reserved for
him. I soon began to wonder if
I had not become more of a vic­tim
of my fear and prejudice
than had the small Negro I was
holding down.v
I eventually was forced to re­lease
him, but not before I had
caused him to miss supper. The
fact that I too had missed supper
never entered my mjnd. I was
perfectly contented as I attempted
to straighten my torn clothing,
and as I started home each weary
footstep reminded me of the vic­tory
I had won.
LETTERS
Dear Editor:
A group of us independents
think that the person who wro;e
last week's letter to the editor
was absolutely right about there
needing to be a change in the
election policy on our campus.
We don't even know who the
president of the student body is
and care less because we have
never heard of him nor have we
heard of anything he has accom­plished.
The minutes of the cabi­net
meeting you publish only re­veal
action that would naturally
happen no matter who was in of­fice.
We would like to see good cam­paign
stunts like we had in high
school, and would like to see and
know who is running. Then and
only then will we give a damn
about voting. We realize that the
fraternity clique that elects all
officers depends _on people like
us who don't vote* to win them
the election. But if someone
shows us that he is running by
campaigning in a public place in­stead
of merely by 100 words in
the Plainsman, we will turn out
for the next vote next quarter.

Dear Editor:
I would like to express by ap­preciation
to the students and bus­inessmen
of Auburn who helped
me in trying to establish a skat­ing
rink here.
The City of Auburn screams for
more revenue from city taxes,
yet they reject the opportunity
to admit a wholesome business
that would pay revenue.
Mr. Wright, Mr. Ham, and Mr.
Sims—the city commissioners—
have classified my proposed plan
as undesirable. They placed it in
a catagory with stock yards and
paper mills to keep me out of Au­burn.
My proposed rink would
have consisted of about $10,000
worth of new equipment, and I
do not think it would have been
an undesirable project. I was also
very surprised that Dr. Draughon
said the college thinks a skating
ring across the street from the
campus would be undesirable.
Although it would have been
one half block from Alumni Hall
—separated by three business es­tablishments—
Mr«Sims said that
it would disturb the girls who
lived there. I have personally con­tacted
several girls who live there
and all of them stated that they
would be glad to see a skating
rink in the location next to the
Dixie Kitchen Cafe. They also
said that it would not disturb
them.
So, Auburn students, you do
not have, a skating ring because
the city council and officials of
the college think it would be un­desirable,
in spite of the fact that
many colleges have skating as
part of their PE curriculum.
I deeply regret that I have not
been given the chance to offer the
students skating as a form of en­tertainment
in a' city where there
are practically no recreational fa­cilities.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Reynolds
Dear Editor:
I believe the following infor­mation
will be of interest to all
students, especially married stu­dents.
Last June I rented an
apartment at 331 Armstrong from
Mrs. Margaret M. Johnson. In De­cember
she decided to go up on
my rent as well as on the rent on
all of the other apartments in the
house by forcing me to begin pay­ing
for the utilities.
I called the Opelika OPA office
about this and was informed that
a landlord, or in this case, land­lady
could not raise rents to pre­sent
tenents without their consent
for a period of a year. I accepted
this fact and consequently when
t received a notice signed by Mrs.
Johnson and J. T. Johnson, whom
I did not vknow was co-owner, I
ignored it. The notice was neither
notarized or legalized in any oth­er
fashion.
Today, February 7, 1949, I re-recived
a legal warrent from the
sheriff of Lee County, stating that
I must vacate said apartment in
three days. This notice was dated
February 5. I received it on Feb­ruary
7. Since to comply with this
would he practically impossible,
I took the only recourse left to me.
I went to a lawyer. Tuesday, Feb­ruary
8, I filed an affidavit of
the case which wil cause it to be
brought up for a hearing before
a judge.
I believe I am in the right. I
will appreciate the moral support
of the students. I can be reached
at phone 829-M.

storm," said Mr.^Roe,' " b u t ' i just
sat down and. waited' until it was
over." Descending.into the beau­tiful
Rhone Valley, the trail fol­lowed
the turbulent Rhone River
into the little village of Leuk.
During the trip Professor Roe
enjoyed talking to the native
Swiss when he stopped in the vil­lages.
"Many of these people
lived in little cabins perched on
the mountain side," he said, "and
they produce the finest cheeses
in the .universe. They're aged!"
he chuckled. However, the na­tives
were not the only humans
encountered for Prpfessor Roe
frequently met English tourists or-
.college students.
Making an average of 15 to 20
miles a day "Herr" Roe went
from Leuk to Vispe. The 22 miles
out of the Rhone Valley to Zer­matt
were the toughest part of
the climb. "I was so tired at night
that I went to bed with my shoes
onl", Mr. Roe said. From Zer­matt,
Professor Ploe returned to
his chalet at Gryon-sur-Bex in
Geneva.
"Herr" Roe has been abroad
eight times, once as a guest of our
government in 1917. "I was a punk
soldier," he asserted, "but the
trip was free." On the voyages
over, Professor Roe always pre­ferred
a slow freighter since he
could see more of the natural
beauty by traveling slowly.
A native of Bel vale, N.Y., Mr.
Rpe received his M.A. degree at
Cornell University. Since that
time he has spent a year studying
in Canada and has certificates
from the University of Dijon,
France; University of Heidelberg,
Germany; Strasbourg, Alsace; and
the University of Puerto Rico.
"Herr" Roe taught for four years
at Syracuse University before
coming to Auburn in 1S23. He
now holds the position of asso­ciate
professor of modern lan­guages.
Besides his foreign tours, "Herr"
Roe has done a lot of traveling
in the United States—walking
through the Black Forest, hiking;
from Auburn to Gpelika and r e ­turning
via train, and dozens • f
other trips. ..One particular sum­mer
was spent in the Yellowstone -
National Park. "I accepted a job
as a guide," he said, "and when
j got there they guided me right
into the kitchen." That summer:

opponent been in my line-up he
would have won.
Many reasons have formulated
and evaporated as to why you—
you who reaped the benefits of the
line-up-*-would say such a thing.
No single idea has impressed me
except that you must have rea­lized
what harm could be done
should the "big wheels" slip and
pick the wrong man, a person who
would embarrass, degrade and hu­miliate,
not only himself but the
whole school.
You must also believe deeply in
the people, government and the
nation, for Auburn is a tiny per­fect
example of government not
by the people in the worst respect.
Your belief, shared by many oth­ers
on this campus, that Auburn
students should be taught to be
good citizens — not disinterested
citizens—caused you to denounce
the line-up.
You must have believed, in a
deep faith, in the minds and
hearts of- the common peoples of
our country. This nation was
founded on that belief. Auburn has
no right to say to the students—
a few "wheels" will select the per­sonnel
to run the student part of.
our school.
Brave words—no man on this
campus could have said braver
ones. The students owe you thanks
for a good speaking, truthful pa­per,
but their greatest thanks are*
for the words you spoke for
the whole student body to hear, "I
was selected, not elected."
Yours sincerely,
Bob Blackburn.

Tiger Baskelballers Face Troy Tonight;
Game With Livingston Set For Friday
By Bob Ingram
The Auburn basketball team meets two non-conference
foes this week prior to e n t e r i n g the final phase of its 1949
SEC basketball schedule. Tonight at t h e sports arena at 7:30
t h e Doylemen will meet t h e Red Wave of Troy S t a t e Teachers
College at t h e sports arena.
The Red Wave comes into Au­burn
sporting a good season rec­ord,-
and it has a good chance of
knocking off the Tigers. Having
all to gain and nothing^to lose, the
Red Wave can be expected to pull
no punches in an effort to win.
Leading the Troy five will be
Grady Wilson, high scoring for­ward
from Columbus, Georgia.
Wilson has scored 170 points in 16
games, and has been amazingly
accurate from the floor, hitting
better than 50 per cent of his
shots.
At the other forward will be
Billy Williams, who has scored
151 points. Garrett will probably
start at center, and Trussell and
Hilyer at guards. This combina­tion
has averaged better than 54
points per game this year. ,
It will seem like "Old Home
Week" when the Tigers meet Liv­ingston
on Friday night, for in the
starting lineup for the Teachers
will be two former Auburn ath­letes.
Starting at one of the for­ward
positions will be Ray Wil­liams,
who lettered in football,
baseball and basketball while at
the Plains.
The other Auburnite will be
John Liptak, star end on the 1947
football squad. Liptak holds a
record for the longest touchdown
run ever made by an Auburn
footballer, a 97 yard scoring sprint
against the Georgia Bulldogs in
1947. Liptak plays guard for the
Livingston quintet.
Another who will bear watch­ing
on the Livingston squad is
"Shorty" Moore, who towers a
mere six-feet, 11 inches into the
stratosphere. Moore is a brother
to Sammy Moore, brilliant center
on Alabama's unbeaten freshman
squad. Shorty played two years at
Oklahoma A.&M. as understudy
to Ail-American Don Kurland be­fore
transferring to Livingston.
In an effort \o snap Living­ston's
12-game winning streak,
Coach Doyle will probably start a
team made up of Glen Nixon at
center, William Lynn and Don
Lanford at forwards, and Emmett
McAfee and Roy Brawner at
guards.
Auburn Marksmen
Lose To Alabama
In a hotly contested shoulder to
shoulder rifle match on Saturday
morning, the visiting University of
Alabama rifle team outshot the
Auburn marksmen by a score of
1790 to 1761. B. R. Brown, high
scorer for the University team, led
his team to victory with 370 out
of a possible 400. Other high
scorers on the visiting team were
H. V. Waldrop, 360; A. D. Kilgo,
356; T. H. Stephen, 358, and Billy
Fincher, 344.
Leading scorers for the losing
Auburn team were Calvin C. Tid-well,
361; Joseph D. Clem, 356;
Charles A. Scheuerman, 351; John
M. Lowery, 348, and Ellis W. Bul­lock,
345.
While the visitors were in Au­burn,
they were the guests of the
Auburn team.
Officials for the match were
Captain Herman C. Park, coach of
the University t e a m ; Captain
James C. Beard, Manager of the
Auburn team, and Captain Nor­man
C. Shepard, Auburn's coach.

'A' Club And Zippers Continue To Pace
Play In Independent Basketball Leagues
By Edwin Spencer
The A Club and t h e Zippers are proving themselves the
teams to watch in the Independent Basketball League. The
Zippers added two more victims to their list this week and
t h e y are still undefeated. In t h e i r first game they sank t he
Navy by t h e score of 55 to 13. McCollough with 16, a n d B r i tt
and Allison with 10 each led the
Zipper point-makers. Sellers gar­nered
5 points for the Navy. .
In their second game of the
week the Zippers won an oven-whelming
victory over the Boys,
42 to 12. The Zipper offense was
again led by Allison with 14
points and Britt with 12 points.
Tapseott and Mock each scored 4
points to pace the Boys.
League I play was again domi­nated
by the A Club who defeated
the Raiders, 46 to 13. The A Club
is undefeated and they show no
signs of weakening before ' the
playoffs. Speedy Jocko Norton

Inferfrat Basketball League Crowns
Undecided As End Of Season Hears
By Bruce Greenhill
With just two and a half weeks of play left, the different
interfraternity basketball leagues are still tied up in close
struggles for the individual league titles. Only one crown,
that of League ,111, seems to be sewed up as Phi Delta Theta,
with four wins and no losses, leads the pack.
Three teams hold the pole posi­tion
in League I. Sigma Chi, de­fending
champion, Theta Chi, and
Sigma Pi all have records of four
wins and two defeats. Sigma Pi,
with two wins last week, could
well be the playoff representa­tive
from this league.
Lambda Chi broke the previous
week's three-way tie by copping
two games in last week's League
II competition. Alpha Psi won one
game last week and is in the run­ner-
up spot half a game behind
LCA. Their meeting on February
17 will probably decide the league
championship.
Phi Delta Theta was idle last
week but stayed in first place as
Phi Kappa Tau advanced a half
a game in second place with a
smashing victory and a point to­tal
higher than any made this
year. These two teams are far
and above the best teams in the
league with the Phis headed
straight for the playoffs if they
get by PKT next week.
OTS defeated SAE in one of
the two League IV games played
last week, but the vets are still a
half game off the pace as SAE
continues to hold on to first place.
Delta Sigma Phi is still in the
race with a three-two record and
a second place tie with OTS.
League I
Sigma Pi led off the week with
a 26-18 win over Theta Chi. Wil­liams,
SP center, began his week's
scoring with an eight point effort
before fouling out. Ed Knight also
contributed eight points to the
Sigma Pi total and Prouty buck­eted
seven for Theta Chi. Sigma
Chi followed with an 30-18 win
over PiKA. The Pikes, minus the
services of Dub Ellis, were not up
to par. Levi led the scoring with
eight points for Sigma Chi while
Flash Riley topped the Pikes with
seven. In the next scheduled
game, PiKA won from TEP on
forfeit. TEP also forfeited the
next game to Theta Chi. In the
final game. Sigma Pi whipped
Sigma Chi for the second straight
time, this time by a score of 36-29.
Williams sacked up 11 for SP and
Jerry Sullivan threw in 14 for
Sigma Chi.
League II
The first game of the week in
this league was a real thriller as
Lambda Chi edged Alpha Gam­ma
Rho in a return match and got
r.evenge for an earlier defeat. The
Alpha Gamma Rho defense held
high-scoring Buddy Northcutt to
four points but Red Holley took
up the scoring burden for LCA
and scored 13 points. Friday coun­tered
nine for AGR.
In the second game, Alpha Psi
walloped Kappa Sigma, 25-15,
despite the fact that star Lamar
Moree was sidelined with a bad
ankle. Jameson and Miller led the
vet scoring with eight apiece. In
the final game, Lambda Chi scor­ed
three points for every one
Kappa Sig sacked as Lambda Chi
went into the loop lead with a
30-10 win. Northcutt led the scor­ing
with nine LCA markers.
League III
Phi Kappa Tau put on the high­est
scoring spree of the year in
outclassing TKE m the first
game, 56-5. Lawley was high
scorer for PKT with 21 points.
This was the year's highest indivi­dual
total. In the other game,
Kappa Alpha kept high scores the
14 points. He was followed by
Weaver, center and point-maker
delux, who scored 9 points. This
duo has been responsible for most
of the A Club's scoring this sea­son.
The Raiders were led by the
play of Barnes who scored 2
field goals.
The ROTC continued their fine
play by taking a close one from
the Nomads 40 to 37. Castleman,
ROTC center, took scoring honors
for the night with 21 points. Lead­ing
hoop ringers for the Nomads
were Lovelace 12, Liggins 10, and
Harris 9 points.
The Ringers overpowered the
FFA 37 to 24 in League 4 play.
Kelly hit the net for 10 points
and Mann for 14 to lead the
-Ringers to victory. Granger and
Bailey paced the FFA with 10
and 8 points respectively.
The Eagles completely trounced
Forestry, 50 to 16, in a run-a­way
tilt. Owens, the leading
scorer in League 4, again fired
his team to victory by scoring 21
points for the Eagles. Draper was
second leading goal maker for the
Eagles with 13 points. Carlson
and ByFcl led the Forestry with 6
points each.

Sigma Nu went down before the
Rebel shots 54-26. Laney led the
KA scoring with ten points.
League IV
OTS led off the week with a
29-23 victory over league-leading
SAE. Burgess, vet center, was
leading scorer 16 points. This win
enabled OTS to gain a full game
on SAE and move into a second
place tie with Delta Sigma Phi, a
half a game off the pace. In the
final game, Cappell scored seven
points to lead Pi Kappa Phi to a
30-29 win over Delta Sigma Phi.
This was the first time PKP
scratched in the win column and
marked Delta Sig's second defeat.
the Dragons eeked out a 32 to 27
victory over the Rebels. The con-sistant
play of Lanier who scored
11 points proved trie margin of
victory for the Dragons. The Re­bels
were paced by Sanders with
8 points and Gilbert with 7.
Frosh Basketballers
Win Three Contests
By Spud Wright
Auburn's freshmen basketball
team chalked up three victories in
the past ten days to boost their
season record to ten wins against
two losses. The frosh won from
Eufaula High School, Ensley High
School, and Maxwell Field.
On January 31, the freshmen
coasted to an easy 56 to 11 victory
over Eufaula High in the sports
arena. Gene Hoehle with 18 points
and Dwight Hitt with 11 points
led the Auburn attack while
Strickland was high man for the
losers with 6 points.
The freshmen downed Ensley
High of Birmingham, 69 to*30 Fri­day
night in the sports arena.
After leading only 30 to 21 at the
half, the Cubs came back strong
to increase the lead. Bill Walter
and Dwight Hitt with 16 and 14
points respectively led the frosh
scoring. DeYampert and Sherer
were high men for the Yellow
Jackets with six points each.
The following night, the Baby
Tigers invaded Maxwell Field to
defeat the Bombers, 66 to 53. J im
Taylor with 21 points, followed
by Bill Walter and Roger with 14
points each, led the frosh to their
second win over Maxwell this
season. Chandler sparked the los­ers
attack with 21 points.

of strong Georgia teams last week,
losing to Georgia Military Acad­emy
Friday by a score of 40-35,
and on Saturday bowing to Emory
University, 46-30.

yard free style with Gaither of
Auburn placing second.
In the next event Fountain of
GMA won a disputed decision
over Van Dyke of Auburn. Foun­tain
swam out of his lane and col­lided
with the Auburn swimmer,
thereby making the GMA subject
to disqualification. As there was
no judge present to make the de­cision
the event was awarded to
the Cadets, the protests of the Au­burn
officials accomplishing noth­ing.
In the next event, the individual
medley race, Yarbrough of Au­burn
won, setting a new pool rec­ord.

in the fancy diving to add more
points to the Auburn total.

against Emory. In the opening
event Auburn's medley relay team
of Gunri, FisHer and Gaither lost
their event by a very narrow mar­gin.

220-yard free style - with com­parative
ease and Whittelsey of
Auburn placed third. Russel and
Jordan of Auburn placed second
and third in the fancy diving.
The Emory swimmers domi­nated
the backstroke event, finish­ing
first and second while Gunn of
AubUrn came in third. Dick Fish­er
lost a heartbreaking decision to
his opponent in the $00-yard
breast stroke. Fisher became con­fused
over the number of laps re­quired
in the extra-long' Emory
pool, and pulled up at the end of
four laps. During the delay, the
Emory swimmer overtook Fisher
and went on to win. Fisher realiz- ' burn 30.

Cellophane. Plain, transparent Cello­phane
was strong, clear and protec­tive.
As a packaging material it had
eye appeal. Its uses were limited,
however. Perishable foods wrapped
in this cellulose film were protected
from contamination and were good
to look at, but they did not retain
their freshness. They either lost or
absorbed moisture, depending on the
nature of the food and atmospheric
conditions. *
That was a challenge to Du Pont
research people. They set out to find
materials that would moistureproof
Cellophane without materially af­fecting
its thinness or transparency.

to Cellophane dope before cast­ing,
impregnating sheets in baths
and coating the film.
Coating showed the most promise.
Had you been a member of the re­search

have helped mix and test several

over a 10 months' period. With suc­cessful
coatings in sight, a small
pilot operation was'tet up. Then—
to make sure the new Cellophane
