Debate Council Sets Date|
For Intramural Tourney
The Auburn Debate Council will hold its annual intra­mural
debate tournament for fraternities, sororities and in­dependents
J a n u a r y 31-February 3.
Lee Taylor, president of the A u b u r n Debate Council, has
been named as Director of the Tournament. Anyone desiring
e n t r y blanks or additional information should contact Taylor
at the Kappa Sigma House or in
308 Samford.
All entries must be turned in
by 4 p.m. next Wednesday, Jan­uary,
26.
Selected as subjects for the de­bate
is Resolved: Better Student
Government at Auburn Would
Result If Election Regulations
Were Revised To Permit Greater
Freedom To Candidates In Their
Campaigns.
As the regulations now stand,
no candidate is allowed to spend
money on advertising, nor is he
allowed to have any free publi­city
unless all other candidates
for the same office are mentioned
in alphabetical order.
Because many students fee?
that less strict campaign regula­tions
would put more issues be­fore
the students and create more
interest in the elections, the de­bate
council has selected this
subject. On the other hand, some
students feel that intense collegi­ate
campaigns make democratic
isues a mockery and therefore
they prefer rigid regulations.
Severals years ago, Auburn had
an open election system, and then
swerved to the right. Modified
regulations may result from this
debate which will be judged by
the speech faculty and members
of the varsity debate squad.
The tournament last year
which featured debates on chang­ing
the name of A.P.I, to Au­burn
University was won by the
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority,
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, and
Henry Carter and Bill Vann, In­dependents.^
As an aid to students in'pre-'
paring their cases, the Debate
Council has arranged two feat­ures
to furnish information. First:
A round table discussion on the
topic of campus elections will be
presented by the Council over
Station WAUD at 7:30 o'clock
next Monday night. Second: A
written debate prepared by two
of Auburn's campus leaders will
appear in next week's Plainsman.
Famed Pearl Buck
Will Appear Here
Next Wednesday
Pearl Buck, author, lecturer
and authority on the Near East,
will speak here January 26 un­der

Altrusa Inc. Honors Mrs. Mary Bidder
With Membership-At-Large Certificate
By Jimmy Everett ,
Mrs. Mary G. Bickler was honored recently by Altrusa
International when she was presented with a membership-at-
large certificate. The request to the national headquarters
in Chicago was sent from the Birmingham club.
AltrUsa International Incorporated is an association sof
classified and selective member­ship
clubs for executive and pro­fessional
women.
Mrs. Bickler has been affiliated
with Altrusa for the past 25 years.
She was selected by the group to
represent her chosen field, educa­tion.
A native Texan, Mrs. Bickler
received her B. S. degree from
Texas State College For Women at
Denten, Texas, and she earned her
M. A. from Columbia in New York.
In addition, Mrs. Bickler has stud­ied
at the University of Texas and
Colorado Agricultural College.
She was brought to Alabama
from Columbia University through
the efforts of Dr. J. B. Hobby,
formerly of the Alabama Voca­tional
Department. Mrs. Bickler
joined the Auburn faculty in Sep­tember
of 1942 and has been a
member of the sociology depart­ment
here since that time.
It was quite logical' for Mrs.
Bickler to choose the field of
sociology as she has had experi­ence
in working with a number of
different racial and national
groups. In the West, Mrs. Bickler
spent some time studying the cul­ture
of the American Indian. Dur­ing
World War I, as a student, she
was placed in an Italian villagevin
Texas to do welfare work.
In her teaching career Mrs.
Bickler has supervised teachers in
both Negro ^and Mexican schools.
She is known to her students at
Auburn as Mrs. "B", and is one of
the most enthusiastic instructors
on ,the campus. Her wonderful
personality has made her very
popular with the students.
Mrs. Bickler has been granted a
leave of absence to take care of
business matters on her Texas
ranch this quarter. Her absence
will be felt by all sociology ma­jors,
and the students who have
wanted to schedule classes in
sociology.
Auburn Debaters
Make Radio Talks
Seven students aired their
opinions on the question ''Are
College Social Fraternities De­sirable?"
over radio station
WAUD Monday night.
Lee Taylor, fourth year stu­dent
in pre-law from Birming­ham,
acted as moderator for the
discussion. Other students parti­cipating
were Patricia Ann -Pri-ger,
Jesse A. Keller, Abbeville,
Robert M. Carlisle, Notasulga,
Raymond G. Fox, Lemone Yeld-ing,
Blanton and Mrs. Marjorie
Pfost, Auburn.
Students taking part in the
broadcast are members of a dis­cussion
class conducted by Jose­ph
H. Mahaffey, assistant pro­fessor
of English.
Topics for the next programs
have been anounced as "Auburn
Campus Elections" and "Should
Final Exams Be Abolished?"

New Parking Areas
Being Constructed
The building and grounds de­partment
is now working on
three new parking areas on the
campus, according to Joseph
Bowman, construction engineer
for Auburn. First to be complet­ed
will be the parking area be­hind
the new building, which
will have room for 76 automo­biles.
The curbings are being laid
out and students may park there
soon. However, the black-topping
can not be put on until after the
spring.
Another new parking area will
soon be finished near Comer Hall
haying 90 parking spaces. As
soon as the.Wilmore Engineering
Laboratory is completed, a park­ing
lot with a 35 car capacity will
be made at the east end of the
laboratory."
The total number of parking
spaces on the campus is 1091. Adr
joining the campus on Gay
Street, Thach,. and Magnolia Ave­nue,
there is free parking space
for 255 automobiles. With the
new areas soon to be completed,
and the ones existing presently*
the total will be approximately
1536. . ;
Rules were formulated by a
faculty committee to take care of
parking students on the campus,
but the attorney General's office
in Montgomery stated that legal­ly,
no such rules should be en­forced
on a state college campus.

Meeting of October 22, 1948
The meeting was called to order
by President Gillis Cammack. The
roll was called and the following
members were absent:
Joe Meade, Jimmy Thompson,
Ted Robbins.
Tim Miller, chairman ,of the
Elections Committee, submitted
the following letter to the cabinet
for" approval or disapproval:
Dear Sir:
It has been brought to the at­tention
of the Elections Committee
that on Wednesday, October 20,
1948, at about 3 pan., Iris Furge-son,
candidate for "Miss Auburn,"
participated in a radio broadcast
from station WAUD. Votes were
solicited on this p r o g r a m for
Miss Furgeson in the absence and
without the consent of the other
four candidates. The Elections
Committee was not previously no­tified
of the broadcast nor did
they approve the script. It is
doubtful that solicitation was pre­meditated
on the part of the can­didate,
since she only answered
impromptu questions asked by the
announcer. However, the candidate
was aware of the rules governing
elections as stated in the constitu­tion.
, The Elections Committee has
deemed that these facts are evi­dence
of violations of election reg­ulations,
Article II, Section (n), in
the constitution which states:
All candidates may use the local
/JM/M? COMJA
Hear CONNIE HAINES'

That great number that everybody was hum­ming

Connie Haines' sensational, new recording.
Here's little Connie Haines, smooth-singing,
phono-fan favorite, talking over this all-time
hit-tune with fellow musician, Jerry Jerome.
radio station to address the mem­bers
of their respective classes as
to their intended policies and pro­cedures,
subject to the following
regulations:
1. All candidates must appear
on the same program in alpha­betical
order.
2. The time shall be distributed
equally among the candidates.
3. The script of such programs
must be approved by the Elections
Committee.
The committee, therefore recom­mends
that Miss Furgeson be dis­qualified
as a candidate for "Miss
Auburn".
The Elections Committee would
like to emphasize that this is not
intended to discourage candidates
from using the-radio as a means'
of soliciting votes, but the proce­dure
for radio broadcasts as out­lined
in the constitution must be
followed by all candidates.
_ Signed:
Tim Miller
Chairman, Elections Committee
The above letter was voted on
and failed to pass.
A motion was made that Miss
Furgeson be formally reprimanded
in the Plainsman. Motion passed.

Empty Seats
Something should be done about the
admission to basketball games played in
the sports arena. Only students holding
orange student activities books were ad­mitted
to the Georgia Tech game. There
were more than 250 empty seats at that
contest, and there was plenty of standing
room.
"There aren't enough students interested
in baskethall to fill the arena under the
present set-up, but there are too many if
the entire student body is allowed to at­tend
the games.
An improvement could be made if the
athletic association let only students who
held the specified color student activities
book into the arena until 20 minutes be­fore
game time, then admitted all students,
regardless of the color of their student ac
books. If this were done, the rabid basket­ball
fans on the campus would at least
have a chance to attend all games.
When the student paid his studepjr.; ac­tivities
fees, he did so with the idea that
he would have a chance to attend all of the
sports events on the campus during the
quarter.
A professor in an American university
"receives a smaller income than a mason
or a carpenter." This is one of many start­ling
facts revealed by Donald W. Mitchell,
assistant professor of government at Rut­gers
University, in an article some weeks
ago.
The exodus of competent educators from
the college teaching profession because of
low salaries as against the high cost of
living is creating a crisis in higher educa­tion.
Educational standards are suffering.
Faculties are being padded with poorly
qualified p e r s o n s . Administrations are
overloading teaching schedules, thereby
reducing efficiency of instruction and the
attention given the individual student.
The cause is real, not imagined. In 1939-
40, average pay for persons in this profes­sion
was $3,307. In 1947-48 it was $3,800.
This increase is a bare one-fifth of the in­crease
of living costs over the same period.
Broken down, the average salaries for the
latter period were $4,600 for professors,
$3,866 for associate professors, $3,344 for
assistant professors and $2,723 for instruc­tors,
the last being the approximate in­come
of a dish washer or a day laborer.
Salaries have remained low because few
people realize the importance of a highly
efficient faculty—or the effect of low in­come
on it. Most people judge an institu­tion
by its athletic teams and physical fa­cilities
rather than by its teaching staff.
Again, the college teaching profession has
done litle to publicise its achievements or
importance.
A few large universities have sensed the
crisis and raised salaries in accordance
with the cost of living. For smaller col­leges,
however, increases are often out of
the question.
Perhaps, as Professor Mitchell suggests,
intervention by the federal government
would solve the problem. An official of
cabinet rank would be appointed to look
after national educational matters, to cor­relate
and devise means of avoiding crises
of this type. Under this plan, subsidization
based on enrollment would be'distributed
to institutions with acceptable faculty and
curriculum standards.
Whatever is going to be done must be
done soon. Like a snowball rolling down­hill,
the situation is growing in serious­ness
and accelerating toward disaster. Our
national education is at stake.—West Vir-.

Dear Railroad
The following editorial has appeared in
the Plainsman so often that it is almost
tradition. For fear someone hasn't seen it,
we publish it again.

We live on W. Glenn Avenue close to
the railroad track.
What we want to know is why your en­gines
have to ding and dong and fizz,and
spit and clang a^id bang and hiss and bell
and wail and pant and rant and howl and
yowl and grate and grind and puff and
huff and bump and click and clang and
bang and chug and moan and groan and
hoot and toot and crash and smash and
grunt and gasp and whistle and wheeze
and squak and blow and jar and jerk and
rasp and jingle and twang and clack and
rumble and jangle and ring and chatter
and ring and chatter and clatter and yelp
and howl and hum and snarl and puff and

Ghost Of The Tiger Rag
A lot of people on the campus have been
wondering why Auburn doesn't have a
campus humor magazine like most of the
larger colleges and universities have.
We have been wondering, too.
The fact is an individual on the campus
wanted to start one and was referred to
the student executive cabinet by the pub­lications
board. The publications board
felt that such a magazine would be a com­petitor
for advertising with the two offi­cial
college publications, The Plainsman
and the Glomerata.
But we feel that since a humor maga­zine
would be a monthly publication with
limited advertising space (some of which
.is devoted to national advertising), the
amount of competition with the Plainsman
would not be enough to merit not having
the magazine.
The Tiger Rag, Auburn's last attempt
at a college humor magaizne, folded for
financial reasons. It had a staff with talent
and administrative ability but lacked
funds necessary for continued publication.
It had the appeal, too.
We believe that Auburn should have a
humor magazine of its own. We would like
to see someone start the ball rolling.
New Lineup
The ultimate in seeking after higher
education has apparently been reached on
the campus. Students have actually begun
lining up to get into Samford for the morn­ing
classes. The line trails off of the porch
and down on to the sidewalks.
Casual observers have decided thai; the
student body, after having become accus­tomed
to standing in line so much during
the registration procedure, has finally
reached the point where it just naturally
lines up for anything.
More astute observers hold that the line
forms because no one thinks to pull the
catch on the inside of the right hand door
and thus open it. As it is now both incom­ing
and outgoing students are forced to al­ternate
between the single open door.
But whatever the answer is the line
looks so natural going into Samford that
few people stop to ask what the line is for.
What Tennis Courts?
The weather has been ideal for tennis
during the past two weeks. The Plainsman
has campaigned from time to time for the
construction of a few good courts to make
up for the poor few we now have. Nothing
has ever been done about our requests, so
we try again.
This time we are not asking for more
courts. Of course the students who wait
all day for a chance to play a set or two
may want more courts, but the Plainsman
knows from past experiences that asking
for them is wasted effort. I
The courts now at Auburn are, to be per­fectly
frank, lousy! They are made of the
cheapest material, fenced in with chicken
wire, and located in an area where there
is always a strong wind.
At the present time, the nets and the
back-stops are practically useless at our
tennis courts. Nets are not expensive, and
a good grade of wire is now available on
the retail market. The Plainsman wishes
to request that some of each be purchased
immediately to alleviate the run-down
condition of our tennis courts.
Dr. H. W. Greenleaf, professor of horticulture here at Au­burn,
has done something which I am not quite sure of yet.' He
says he has invented a new and better pimento pepper. I don't
question his word or anything, but I would like to know what
was wrong with the old pimento pepper.
Now when it actually comes
down to facts, I can take pimento
peppers or leave thfm. My an­cestors
ate and relished the old
Model T pimento pepper and I
would be content to do the same.
But if Dr. Greenleaf (whose very
name suggests that he is fully
capable of inventing a new pi­mento
pepper or practically any­thing
in the green grocery line)
has really made a new and better
one, then I'll be the first to give
it a try.
I know that the pimento pep­pers
have fallen on lean years of
late. A curious blight has been
destroying nearly one fourth of
the crop each year. Some bac­terium
has developed an insati­able
taste for pimento pepper
leaves. In fact, the blight reached
the point where mother pimento
peppers and father pimento pep­pers
began thinking seriously be­fore
bringing young ones into a
world ridden with this heinous
bacterium.
But like most bacteria today,
the pimento p e p p e r one was
singled out by a persevering scien­tist
for destruction. Dr. Greenleaf
proved to be the nemisis for this
one. He didn't actually do away
with the bug itself. He did some­thing
a lot more clever. After a
manner of speaking, he gave the
bacterium an oral hotfoot. It
works something like this: the
pimento pepper bacterium doesn't
like hot peppers, hot peppers are
cousins of pimento peppers, Dr.
Greenleaf mated the two. He got
a pepper, which was the butt of
nasty rumors and risque jokes
among its fellow peppers, that
looked and tasted like a hot pep­per.
Defying the mores, Dr. Green­leaf
bred this result back with
the parent pimento pepper. After
much more inbreeding—an which
daughters were mated with grand­fathers,
first cousins with broth­ers-
in-law, maiden aunts with
Oedipus - like n e p h e w s — Dr.
Greenleaf obtained a specimen of
pimento pepper which was bac­terium
resistant. It even had a
better shape—which pleased the
little boy pimento peppers—and a
better color than the now out­moded
pepper.
All of this is very fine, but what
are we to do with the old fashion­ed
pimento pepper? Just because
a virile, new one has been de­veloped,
we can't disregard the
old one which tickled our palates
for these many generations. When
a race horse has run his last race,
or ceased to be a winner, he is.
put out to pasture and called upon
only for stud duty. But the mar­ket
for studs among pimento pep­pers
is practically nil nowadays. I
don't know how Dr. Greenleaf
feels about the matter, but I think
the pimento peppers have received
a dirty deal.
I might go even a step farther
and suggest that Dr. Greenleaf
figure out something to do with
the lost generation of pimento
peppers he has just created. If he
doesn't, he can't really ever look
another old style pepper in what
passes for its eye.
As an afteathought, I wonder if
Dr. Greenleaf, after he really
rounds off the new V-2 pimento
pepper, could invent a new type
or breed of okra. Maybe, say, one
with a tread on it like a GI tire.
Something to give it a little grip­ping
power. Think of all the peo­ple
who now dislike okra for its
extremely low coefficient of fric­tion
that would be won over to
the side of okra fanciers.

The wonderful love of a beauti­ful

The love of a staunch, true man.
And the love of a baby, unafraid;
Have existed since life began.
But the greatest love—the lova

Even greater than that of
mother,
Is the tender, passionate, infinite
love
Of one drunken bum for an­other!

BURP By Boyd Hinlon
There are a lot of things that I
don't understand in this old world
but the thing that has me puzzled
most, is why the drinking foun­tains
in the new building are so
close to the floor.
If the building were used for a
kindergarten there might be some
logic behind their position but
since it is used for college clas­ses,
and most college students are
of average stature, they) make get­ting
a drink of water a'major op­eration.
'
Now for these
athletic Joes who
can touch the
floor with their
elbows and not
bend their knees,
it is no problem
but for guys like
me it is very de­manding
on the
physique. But
that isn't half so
bad as it is for
co-eds who are
Hinton forced by nature
and public opinion to wear gird­les.
For them it is nigh on to im­possible
to quince a thirst. The
new look with its tight skirts
has also added to the trials and
headaches of a thrifty female in
the new building.
It's down-right dangerous for
some of our more elevated schol­ars.
Take for example, Glenn Nix­on,
Auburn's basketball center.
He's six and two-thirds feet tall.
If he were to decide to moisten
his palate, he would have to bend
almost double. Now all of you
know, water won't run uphill. Of
course, it may be possible for a
man to swallow uphill, but I ser­iously
doubt it.
And even if he could, his swal-lower
might stick and there he
would be, bent double with a size­able
head of water in his throat.
He might well drown himself and
we simply can't afford to lose
him.
This is a serious problem and I
wish someone would do some­thing
about it. Let's organize a
committee to study the problem
and get something done. At least
let's raise the fountains high
enough so you couldn't stump
your toe if you didn't see them.
More and More By Euaene Moore
A long, long time ago it
seems, I wrote a little piece about
an imaginary professor at an ima­ginary
school. For some reason
or other some friends of mine
who were engineers seemed to
like it. It had to do with a charac­ter
who got the idea that he was
pretty much of a law unto him­self
and that rules that applied
to the other professors and asso­ciate
profesors and instructors
and what not didn't touch him.
Mostly little things, like locking
his door at ten after and mark­ing
you absent if you did acci­dentally
sneak in late.
Every now and then he'd pull
some extra cute little stunt just
to prove that he
Icould get away
with it. Harm­less
little pranks,
you understand.
For i n s t a n c e ,
there was the
'time one of his
students got a
special excuse
from the council
(of deans to be
absent from class
for two days. He
was in an unusually liberal frame
of mind that semester and only
knocked the boy's grade down
from an A to a D. What business
did the council have giving him
an excuse, anyway? You can see
his point, can't you? The funny
thing is the student thought he'd
been given a pretty raw deal,
when actually he was lucky to
have passed.
Of course, no one could say
Forrester
anything about it because there
were some subjects they had to
have to get their degree and who
do you think was the only in­structor
in the school who taught
these subjects? Right, nobody
but the terrible tempered Mister
Bang. That's just an imaginary
name, you understand, but what
else can you call such an imagi­nary
character?
One of his pet rules was that
when you were absent you* were
absent. Period. Made no differ­ence
who signed your excuse,
either. Just didn't believe in ex­cuses.
Sometimes he'd call roll
right on the hour as the .class
started and not even wait until,
ten after, and if anyone came in
after he'd called roll he was
as good as absent. And if you
were absent you might as well
give your soul to God because you
know the rest of it.
Nobody lives forever, though,
not even imaginary characters.
One day Bang was giving one of
his students a little talking to.
Not severe, but just a half hour
tongue lashing. The inconsiderate
student was suffering from a cold
in the head and had the gall to
disturb the lecture by blowing
his nose. Most thoughtless.
Just as Bang was getting
warmed up the student suddenly
had all he could take. He rose
quietly and cut Bang throat from
ear to ear. Being almost human,
Bang died. Funny thing, but you
know when his throat was cut
they found out that instead of
blood he had vinegar in his veins.
Cold vinegar. Some claimed it
had been watered.
Every year around this time—
when almost everyone has broken
at least one of his New Year's reso­lutions,
and decrepit Christmas
trees are adorning trash heaps—
there arises an annual problem al­most
as old as Christmas itself:
what to do with all the old Christ­mas
cards?
According to the figures reveal­ed
by a nation-wide poll con­ducted
recently, in 92 out of 100
homes, the same situation exists.
The cards are lined up in rows on
top of the mantel or on the up­right
piano. Then, several weeks
after, the holiday, the members of
the family (whether sentimental­ists
or not) stack the cards skill­fully
into an old trunk, and lug it
up to the attic, mumbling that
they have 'got to clean out this
place one of these days." As a
rule, however, the house has
burned- down or the members of
the household are all in their
graves b e f o r e the cards are
thought of again.
A sprightly octogenarian of
Wookleworth Falls, Minn., has
made definite progress in solving
the mystery of how to use the
second-hand cards effectively —
this festive old gentleman has pa­pered
the walls of his rumpus
room with the colorful squares of
cardboard.
If you are not as energetic as
our Minnesota friend, or if you
don't have enough paperhangers
glue, you may enjoy taking the
advice of a sweet little old lady
from Arkansas. This sincere dow--
ager, who has an overhanging
brow and a peculiar gleam in her
eye, suggests that you follow her
efficient if drastic action.
"Every year," she shrieks, wav­ing
her gilded war club, "I save
the cards I receive; then when the
next Christmas^ rolls around, I
just send each card right back to
the schmo who thoughtlessly sent
it to me. Revenge is sweet!"
In Cactus County, Tenn., an
even stranger custom is observed.
There the natives all pool their
Christmas cards (or Xmas cards,
as they write it), and pile them in
the streets as a barricade against
their feuding neighbors from the
other side of the creek.
I hope that you have obtained
some valuable ideas from the
foregoing material, and that you
will be able to put your old
Christmas cards into advantage­ous
service. But if none of these
suggestions appeals to you, we
recommend that you use the meth­od
which we find most effective.
Assort the cards alphabetically
according to the cherry message
on the front cover. You will prob­ably
run into trouble here, find­ing
more than one "Season's
Greetings" and possibly a num­ber
of "Merry Christmas" cards.
In this case, place your favorite
card from each stack upon the
top of that stack and parcel out
the remainder of the cards in
each stack as to decreasing order
of your preference.
Place each stack into its own
separate large envelope, label each
envelope neatly, and lay the en­tire
group carefully into a spacious
cardboard box. Tidely gift wrap
the box, and taking care not to
soil it with your chubby little
hands, take it out and drop it in­to
the nearest bonfire.
I have received a number of
requests for a continuation of my
last column on the difference be­tween
communism, capitalism, and
socialism. Before I give a series
of questions and- answers, how­ever,
I would like to give the ac­tual
definitions of the three words.
Capitalism is an economic sys­tem
in which ownership, employ­ment,
production, and distribution
are entrusted to private enterprise
under competitive conditions. The
owner of a small shop, the farmer
who has bought a few acres of
land, the factory worker who owns
his home, as well as the industrial­ist
who has created jobs and fac­tories
by hard work and great
risk, are all capitalists.
Socialism is an economic system
based upon governmental owner­ship
of the essential industries,
with the idea of replacing compe­tition
with cooperation. England
has adopted a socialistic system.
The United States, u n d e r the
reign of Truman, is adopting many
policies which are characteristic
of a socialized state.
Communism is an economic sys­tem
in which goods are held in
common, and in which there is
some approach to equal distribu­tion.
Russia, despite her mislead­ing
titles, is not a pure communist
nation. We find much greater ex­tremes
in pay in that country
than we do in America. Russia is
probably more of a totalitarian
state, based upon socialistic prin­ciples.
If you can take these defini­tions,
however, and get even a
f,aint resemblance to those I have
been given by students you un­doubtedly
have a very vivid imagi­nation.
The following conversation
took place with a freshman on the
receiving end of the questions.
Q. What is a capitalist?
A. I wouldn't know exactly how
to put it.
Q. What is a communist?
A. He believes that the gov­ernment
should control every­thing—
all utilities— doesn't he?
Q. What is a socialist?
A. Darned if I know.
Q. Which of those three econom­ic
systems predominate in the
United States?
A. What does p r e d o m i n a t e
mean?
Q. Don't you know?
A. Yeah!
Q. Well, which type does pre­dominate?
A. Gosh! I don't know. Go wake
up Lewis and see if he knows.
Many A Gem
By Edwards
I Finally it has happened—the
miracle to end all miracles. Some­where
in the upper brackets of
administration an unknown offi­cial
has made a disastrous and ir-repairable
error.. For a brief per­iod
of undetermined time last
• ''week he allowed an ominous si­lence
to overwhelm those students
who happened to be in the vicini­ty
of the new building. For some
inexplicable reason, classes went
undisturbed and people could talk
in normal voices.
The insistent steam shovels and
bull-dozers that had plagued the
region all summer left, temporari­ly
no doubt, last quarter to dis­rupt
classes on other parts of the
campus. Far-seeing officials had
taken note of this, however, and
legions of carpenters, janitors,
truck - drivers, a n d pneumatic-hammer
operators had been sent
to remedy the situation.
Then, suddenly, the hammers
stopped pounding. The trucks
ceased straining up muddy banks,
and the carpenters lay down then-tools.
Not even a janitor could be
heard slamming trash cans around
the halls. The unanimity of the
action was shocking, to say . the
least.
Students l e a n i n g forward,
straining to hear their instructors,
had their ear-drums dislocated by
voices designed to be heard above
the constant rumble. It is rumor­ed
that several instructors im­mediately
dismissed their classes,
claiming that they could not teach
above the deafening silence. All
thoughts ceased as people just sat
and listened in amazement.
Then' a fast thinking, heroic
janitor arose from the ranks of
oblivion and, picking up a large,
empty oil drum, rushed to the
nearest sidewalk, where he began
pounding it furiously on the con­crete.
Two of his brethren near­by,
wearing the golden badge of
B&G, got the idea and began
heaving lead piping in and out of
a dump-truck. In no time at all,
confusion was resumed and nor­malcy
restored.
Now I'm not one to stand in
opposition to improvement. B&G
can, and will, no doubt, re-roof,
sand, destroy, build, or pave any­thing
they want to. But, do they
have to make so damn' much
noise? And at the end of this
quarter, can't they stop during
final exams, its only three days?

Hazel Riley To Play Roll of 'Candida'
In Next Production Of Auburn Players
By Phyllis Stough
Hazel Riley, a drama major, from Ozark, will play the
lead in George Bernard Shaw's comedy, "Candida", which
opens Monday night, Jan. 24, at 8 o'clock in Langdon Hall.
The play is a triangular love story in which Candida, a
charming lady of 30, J a m e s Morrell, her 40-year-old husband
who is a clergyman, and Eugene
Marshbanks, an 18-year-old poet,
are involved.
Robert Eberle, who is directing
rehearsals of the play, said that
the roll of Candida is one which
has been found irresistible by
such actresses as Katherine Cor­nell
and Cornelia Otis Skinner.
Miss Riley, in describing her
part, says that it has all the rolls
a woman likes to play^ She domi­nates
and manages her loving
husband, Morrell, while she car­ries
on a. sort-of-motherly love
affair. It's a woman's prerogative
to be self-assured, motherly, and
to be able to dominate and man­age
people through her charm.
And that's Candida for you. \
Hazel is well qualified for-the
part, having played the sentimien^
tal leading roll of Isabel in "The
Truth About Blaydes" and the
comic roll of Toinette, the maid,
in "The Imaginery Invalid". She
will be assistant director of "Lit­tle
Brown Jug" which will be
presented during the' spring quar­ter,

Top Central T
Auburn's s w i m m i n g team
chalked up their second win of
the season Saturday as they out­pointed
the Central YMCA swim­mers
of Birmingham, 51-24. The
meeting was held in Alumni
gym.
The Auburn swimmers, coach­ed
Sy John Foster, captured sev­en
first places out of the nine
events to completely dominate
the meet. Leading* the winners
were Robert Gaither, Staten Is­land,
New York, and Clark Yar-brough,
Auburn. Gaither took
first place honors in the 50 meter
free style, 100 meter free style
and was also anchor man on the
200 meter free style relay.
Yarbrough had a first in t,he
200 meter free style, a first in the
150 meter individual medley re­lay'
and was a member of the
winning 150 meter medley relay
team.
The other first place went to
Richard Fisher, Columbus, Geor­gia,
who led the field in his
speciality, the 100 meter breast
stroke. Other point-makers on
the winning Auburn team were
Archie Stapleton, William Pierce,
Fred Gunn, James Walker, For­rest
Peterman, Tim Russell and
Richard Van Dyke.
The undefeated swimmers will
go to Atlanta Friday for a meet
with the Atlanta YMCA, and
then Saturday they will face the
strong University of Georgia
tankmen in Athens.

Librarian Given Leave
The regular architectural li­brarian,
Mrs. Willie F. Calkins,
has been granted a three months
leave of absence because of the
illness of her sister in Newburn,
Ala. Mrs. Maryline Cauthen Wes-tenhaver,
who received her Ba­chelor
of Architecture degree
from Auburn will serve in Mrs.
Calkin's place during her absence.
They were toppled 26-8 by Wash­ington
and Lee, while edging Ap­palachian,
15-11.
Phil Smith and John Brnilo-vich
were the only two Auburn
men able to score against Wash­ington
and Lee, Smith winning
his match with Joe Slaughter by
fall in 2 minutes and 24 seconds,
while Brnilovich won his by de­cision.
Smith was wrestling in
the 165-pound class, while Brni­lovich
was in the heavyweight
group.
Washington and Lee'won four
matches by falls and two by de­cisions
to give them an easy vic­tory,
which was due in part to
the relative inexperience on the
Auburn squad, operating with
four new grapplers.
Against Appalachian the Tiger
squad did bettertand gave Coach
Arnold Umbach something to be
happy about. After falling "be­hind
11-6 during the course of
the meet, Auburn came from be­hind
with three straight deci­sions
to score a 15-11 win.
Jack Orcutt and Carroll Keller
each won decisions in the 136
and 145 pound classes respective­ly,
while Phil Smith, Jep White­spunner
a n d Brnilovich came
through with three decisions in
the 165, 175 and heavyweight
divisions.
Vanderbilt has a dark horse
team and may give the Auburn
group trouble, while it is known
that Georgia Tech is much im­proved
over last year's combine
which lost to Auburn. The Tigers
meet Vanderbilt"' in Nashville
Wednesday and t h e n return
home before their engagement
with Tech Friday night.

T)ame Nature and
International Harves­ter
have been "going
steady" for a long time
Just as undergraduates wear pins to indi­cate
their membership in various college
organizations, so do employes of Interna­tional
Harvester wear service pins to
denote the number of years they have been
with the Company. And just as students
bestow their pins on favored young ladies,
so have Harvester men, in effect, given
their pins to Mother Nature.
Because for more than 100 years,'the
business which is now called International
Harvester has been basically one of build­ing
an ever-increasing variety of ma­chines
to help in the production and con­servation
of food and raw materials, in
the transportation of such articles, and in
construction and power projects which
change the face and harness the forces of
nature.
So we think we are very much in the
role of Mother Nature's steady companion.
But proud as we may be of the ma­chines
We produce, we think an equally
important contribution to the social good
has been our development of methods for
soil conservation.
Little was known about soil conserva­tion
when most colleges and universities
were founded, or when the business which
is today the International Harvester Com­pany
had its start in 1831. But today we
all appreciate the need to guard our soil
against the ravages of wind and water . . .
and are learning how to do it.
The importance of soil conservation is
indicated by the fact that soil scientists
estimate that the productivity of 10,000
farms of 100 acres each is seriously im­paired
each year by lack of proper soil
conservation methods. And that more
than 700 million tons of surface soil are
carried each year by the Mississippi River
alone, into the Gulf of Mexico.
It is a source of great satisfaction to
International Harvester that it has been
able through the years to make a substan­tial
contribution to the progress of soil
conservation. We have done this by build-
INTERNATIONAL
ing the machinery which makes modern
conservation methods possible, and by
cooperating with local and national gov­ernmental
agencies engaged in this im­portant
work.
The basic soil conservation work on
most farms can be handled by Interna­tional
Harvester's regular line of farm
machines, powered by Farmall tractors.
Through continuing research, Interna­tional
Harvester will continue to seek bet­ter
and better ways to conserve our soil.
To continue to be a steady companion to
Mother Nature.

Only One Upset Scored In Two Weeks
Of Interfratemity Basketball Games
By Bruce Greenhill
Ten games and two forfeits made up the interfratemity
basketball slate last week at the sports arena. The play was
much better than in the first week as the teams began ^o hit
their, stride and put their shooting pants on. Pre-season pre­dictions
were upheld in all but one tilt, a stunning upset
pulled by Sigma Pi in a game
with defending champion, Sigma
Chi.
At the end of the second week
of play, eight teams appeared to
be' the principals in the fight for
the campus championship. These
teams, the leader and runner-up
in each of the four leagues, should
continue on this track for the 're­mainder
of the season and its a
good bet that four of them will
meet in the playoffs, barring, of
course, reversals in form and ad­ded
upsets. In all probability, lea­gue
playoffs wil decide the loop
title in two leagues because of the
keen competition there.
Sigma Pi Scores Upset
Only one game was played on
the hardwood in League I circles
because of TEP's forfeits to PiKA
and Sigma Pi. The other game'
was a thriller as Sigma Pi over­turned
the dope bucket by out-scoring
favored Sigma Chi, 30-25.
It was a hard played contest with
twenty eight fouls being called,
fifteen on Sigma Chi and thirteen
on SP. The ability of the Sigma
Pi five to hit eighty-eight per
cent of its free throw chances
proved to be the margin of vic­tory.
Wiliams' eight points was
the high total for the winners
•while Van Cleaves was tops for
SC.
In League II, Buddy Northcutt,
' Lambda Chi center, went wild
and scored 16 points to lead LCA
to a 31-16 win over'Kappa Sig.
Northcutt scored eight times from
the field to equal the total pit­ched
in by the whole' KS five.
Meadows' six was high for Kappa
Sig. In the other game played,
Northcutt continued on the score-path
and threw 17 points against
SPE.' Blake, Lambda Chi guard,
contributed eight to the Lambda
Chi total in the 35-21 win. Thomp­son's
three fiel dgoals rrfade up
the best Sig Ep effort.
Snakes Win and Lose
In League III competition, Sig­ma
Nu edged Kappa Alpha 25-24
Frank McCorkle scored ten points
to lead the Snake quint and John
Granaghan swished eight for the
Rebels. Sigma Nu hit a brick wall
in the next game in the form of a
strong Phi five. Duck Thrasher
started off with his last season's
form and scored 17 points to lead
Phi Delta Theta to a 32-15 tri­umph.
In the third tilt, Granag­han
led Kappa Alpha to a 32-12
win over TKE by scoring ten
points.
In League IV, four games were
played. Delta. Sig started off the
week with a 24-21 win over Pi
Kappa Phi. Littleton and Srofe,
with eight each, were high for
DSP and Cappell's ten markers
was tops for PKP. In the second
contest, OTS swamped SAE 26-17.
Burgess topped the vets'- scoring
with a nine point effort. Delta Sig
continued its winning ways in
the third game by defeating OTS
27-24 in a thriller. Littleton buck-

Tigers Wreck Tech, Bow To Georgia
New Auburn Lineup Proves Effective
By Bob Ingram
The Auburn basketball team snapped out of it last Tues­day
night at the sports arena and, chalked up its first confer­ence
win of the season as it upset the highly-regarded Georgia
Tech%quintet, 41-33.
It was a brand new Auburn lineup which took the floor
against the Techmen, utilizing the
height of both William Lynn and
Glenn Nixon. Lynn was shifted to
forward and the towering Nixon
handled the pivot post. This ad­ded
altitude proved very effective
in halting Tech's high-scoring
center, Jim Nolan. The giant No­lan
was limited to one basket all
evening.
The two teams battled on even
terms for the first few minutes
of the game, the lead changing
hands several times. Auburn sud­denly
caught fire and forged to
an 18-11 lead, but Tech roared
back to tie the ball game up at
halftime, 19-19.
Early in the second half Tech
jumped into a two-point lead, but
Auburn again spurted offensively
to a 30-21 advantage. The En­gineers
made their final bid for
victory midway of the second half
as they pulled to within one point
of the Tigers at 32-31, but victory
was not to be denied the Plains­men.
Lynn, Mobberly and Nixon
connected for successive goals
and Auburn coasted in, 41-33.

night with 15 points. Brawner and

place honors.
A fast-breaking University of
Georgia five handed Auburn a
55-52 setback in a Friday night
encounter in Athens. The Bull­dogs
built up a big- lead in the
first half, then staved off a des­perate
rally by the Tigers in the
closing minutes of the game.
The game nearly developed into
a rout in the first half! The Geor­gia
boys were hitting from all
angles, and at the half-way mark
were leading 31-16. In the open­ing
minutes of the second half
Georgia continued to burn up the
cords, and with but 12 minutes
remaining they were leading by
20 points.
At this stage Auburn suddenly
came to life. Led by Roy Brawner,
the Tigers hyegan to connect, and
the Georgia attack slowed down
considerably. In those final min­utes
Auburn whittled the big
Georgia lead down to a mere
three points before the final gun
sounded.
The big gun for the Georgia
five was J. B. Farr, who tallied
15 points. Brawner of Auburn
had 12 points, 8 of them coming in
the final minutes of play. Nixon
and Lynn each had 10 points.

boys as if they were her own
sons.
They swell with pride when
their boys make the dean's list,
cover up for those who don't do
so well on their tests, try to see
that the boys get their, favorite
Menus', advise them on their love
jcnd financial problems and are
just all-round good sports loved
fcndi respected by fraternity mem­ber's.

JipUsemother circle is Mrs. Lou-netje
Steed, who assumed duties
last-week as housemother to the

wks housemother to the Chi Phi's.

Tharpe, Alpha Psi; Mrs. Frances
tJt>$re, Alpha .Tau Omega; Mrs.
Marian Potter, Delta Sigma Phi;

D. H. Copeland
Presents Report
A paper on the effect of t r i -
butyrin on the gastric mucosa of
the rat was presented on Dec­ember
13 at the Gastric Cancer
Conference in San Francisco by
D. H. Copeland, associate animal
nutritionist of the Auburn Agri­cultural
Experiment Station.
The primary purpose of the
conference, which is sponsored by
the gastric cancer committee of
the National Advisory Cancer
Council, is to promote free dis­cussion
of the gastric cancer
problem.
The report, prepared by Mr.
Copeland and W. D. Salmon, in
charge of the animal nutrition
laboratory, revealed both grossly
and microscopically that tributy-rin
produced marked changes in
the stomach of the rat.
Rats that received a complete
diet containing 15 to 25 percent of
the glyceride tributyrin for pe­riods
of 3 to 37 weeks were affect­ed.
The stomachs were enlarged
and the external surface of the
fore stomachs had numerous irre­gular
portuberances.
The inside of the stomachs of
all the rats revealed large growths
and occasional ulcerated areas
and craters opening to the sur­face.
