1949 Glomerata Unveiled at Banquet;'
Seventeen Members Of Staff Honored
"The 1949 Glomerata and a Greater Auburn" was the
theme of the annual Glomerata staff banquet held last night
at the Casino. The banquet marked the climax of the publi­cation
of the 1949 yearbook.
There were 78 staff members and guests present to
witness the unveiling of the new
Glomerata. Certificates of service
were presented to the staff.
Master of ceremonies Al Frazer
introduced W. T. Ingram, who
briefly reviewed the 52 years of
the Glomerata's history. T. C.
Clark, director of student affairs,
awarded keys for distinguished
service to 17 members of the staff.
"The 52nd edition of the Glomer­ata,"
he said, "is largely a product
of the vision, leadership, and hard
work of two outstanding Auburn
students—Hugh Gaston and Frank
Robison."
Hugh Gaston, editor of the 1949
Glomerata, explained the choice of
the theme "A Greater Auburn" for
this year's book and presented to
the staff the new editor-elect,
Harry Golemon. Before introduc­ing
Dick Hutchinson, his succes­sor,
Business Manager Frank Rob­ison,
extended to the staff his
gratitude for their work on the
book.
"Plans for t h e Future of a
Greater Auburn" was the subject
of a talk given by Dr. Ralph B.
Draughon, n e w l y inaugurated
president of Auburn.
Guests of honor for the evening
were:
Dr. Draughon; L. O. Brackeen,
director of publicity; Miss Kathar­ine
Cater, dean of women; Mrs.
Burke Whitley; Mrs. M. L. Gunter;
Robert Faerber; and the members

Congratulations Glomerata Staff
Today the Auburn students will have
an opportunity to get their first view of
the 1949 Glomerata. With the official re­lease
of The Glomerata we think that to­day
is an opportune time to give Editor
Hugh Gaston and Business Manager Frank
Robison a well-deserved hand of applause
for the excellent publication which they
have given to the students. We were pri­vileged
to get an early view of the book
and to have an opportunity to see the art
and skill which were used in publishing
the 1949 Glomerata. Few students know
of the great amount of work, time and
thought that must be put into each page
of the Glomerata. However, after a view of
this year's book, we believe they will rea­lize
how much time and effort was put
into the publication by its staff and editor.
The book is an artistic presentation
of the campus life at Auburn during the
past year. From the unique, attractive co­ver,
through the last page of the book, Au­burn
students will be given a complete and
attractive presentation of life at their alma
mater. One of the outstanding features
which we noticed during our observation
was a very attractive and compact snap­shot
section. Designed as a calendar sec­tion,
the snapshot division gives a clear
picture of the students and their activities.
The arrangement of the schools is not only
an attractive arrangement of pictures, but
contains well-written and informative data
on the functioning of each school. An eye­catching
arrangement of the campus beau-
, ties, the placing of fraternities and sorori­ties
in alphabetical order, and the appro­priately
designed covers for the different
sections of the book make the 1949 Glom­erata
a publication of great value to Au­burn
and its student body.
By utilizing student talent throughout
the book, Editor Gaston and Business
Manager Robison have published a book
which is a true picture of the life of Au­burn
students. The bpok is worthy of the
proper recognition by students and by
those who will give the book its national
rating. In an editorial comment' on the
objectives of the Glomerata Editor Gaston
said "Auburn's yearbook for 1949 should
be a stylized presentation of the student
body. A bit of informality . . . a touch of
sophistication." To our way of thinking
this is a fitting statement as it is a perfect
summation of the contents of the 1949
Glomerata.
Congratulations, Hugh, Frank and the
Glomerata staff on a job well done.
Do You Have A Social Security Card?
Many students are now employed as
part time workers here at Auburn and
many others will be leaving Auburn soon
for summer work in their home town.
Some will graduate at the end of the quar­ter
while others will go home for the long-awaited
summer vacation.
Whether of not you graduate this year
and whether or not your work is full or
part time, if it is covered by the Social
Security Act, you will need to have a So­cial
Security card.
If the work you do is not on a farm,
in a private home, for your parents, the
city, county, state or federal government,
or a religious or charitable institution, you
will be required to have a Social Security
account number card. If you have never
had an account number, or have lost your
Social Security card, get an application
blank at the post office, fill it out and mail
it to the Social Security Administration,
Old Post Office Building, Montgomery.
The Social Security Administration will
establish an old-age and survivors insur­ance
account for you under the name and
number shown on your card. Since future
benefits payable on this account are based
on wages credited to it, be sure every em­ployer
for whom you work gets a record
on your card. Take care of your card as
it is valuable. However, never have more
than one Social Security account number.
Don't run the risk of missing the bene­fits
and privileges offered by your Social
Security account card as you and your
family will reap the benefits given the
holder of a Social Security card.
One Unified Drive at Auburn
The Student Executive Cabinet has ap­proved
a plan to combine the various
charity drives which occur on the campus
throughout the year into a unified drive.
This will be an advantage to the student
body in giving it a chance to make one
larger contribution once a year instead of
donating to the many different organiza­tions
which have had, in the past, cam­paigns
scattered throughout the school
year. Too, one drive can be managed more
efficiently by a central committee, and
fairer distribution of funds can be assured.
The idea of a centralized drive is not a
new one. Other schools, including the Uni­versity
of Alabama and Illinois Tech, have
used the one-drive plan for several years
and have found it to be an advantage.
The Community Chest campaign is popu­lar
throughout the nation's towns and
cities. The campus drive, though not af­filiated
with Community Chest, will be
held at the same time that it is put on, for
publicity purposes.
Organizations and drives being con­sidered
for inclusion are the Red Cross,
World Student Service Fund, March of
Dimes, Crippled Children's Fund, and
Council Research Foundation. Others may
be added later. Contributions will be dis­tributed
by percentage to the national
organizations. Part of the total may be
turned over to the county if the organiza­tion
has an office here.
•One feature of the new plan which has
had no equivalent in the past will be a
Student Aid Fund, which will be set up to
aid students in emergencies. Such things
as the recent barracks fire would be hand­led
through this agency. -
The new project should meet with the
approval of every student. If supported by
each individual, the unified drive will
prove beneficial to the entire campus and
to the approved organizations which are
included.

Ad Libbing By Ole Timer
In the past there has been some doubt
as to the policy of The Plainsman concern­ing
the printing of letters to the editor.
The only provision in the policies set up
by the Publications Board specifically for
letters is that those which are printed must
be signed by the author.
It is obvious that we can't print every
letter we receive merely because it has a
signature. Other standards must be con­sidered.
Letters should be presented in
good taste, avoiding vulgar, coarse, and
uncouth expressions. Length and content
must be suitable. Some letters are too
long. Others, upon analysis, have nothing
to say. Some are so poorly written that
they would only create amusement for
readers.
We are not trying to discourage letter
writing. Nothing has more reader appeal
than a well-written, intelligent letter. We
do ask that certain requirements be met by
the writer. Letters must be signed by the
writer. Letters should not exceed 300
words, and are subject to being cut for
lack of space. If possible, letters should be
typed double-space for easier reproduc­tions.
For publication in the following is­sue,
they should be received by The Plains­man
by noon Saturday. And, above all,
letters should have something to say.
The installation ceremony for Dr. Draughon as Auburn's
eighth president last week was an impressive one of great
significance. There was a sizable crowd of alumni, towns­people,
and faculty members present to witness the historic
event; the student turnout was a disgrace to the school. A
liberal estimate gave 200 as the * * *
number of students attending.
Evidently a great majority of
the student body ignored the pur­pose
of the partial holiday from
classes Thursday and used it mere­ly
as a break from school.
It is hard to believe less than
.25 per cent of the student body
had enough interest in Auburn to
participate in what was possibly
the biggest event of the year. It
is in that hope that we are pub­lishing
excerpts from Dr. Draugh-on's
inaugural speech. It's a well-composed,
meaningful a d d r e ss
and one that each student could
profit from by reading.
It is a good representation of the
quality of the man who will have
a leading hand in shaping Au­burn's
destiny during the coming
years.
* * *
Speaking of the inauguration, it
was too bad arrangements couldn't
, b e made for baby-sitting during-the
installation service. Evident­ly,
because the ceremony was in
the stadium, parents didn't realize
that their brats could be just as
annoying as in a closed auditor­ium.
A few mothers finally de­cided
that the kids were anxious
to be elsewhere and exited with
them.
One humorous incident bright­ened
the scene near the top of the
stadium. Just as Governor* Fol-som
conferred the presidency upon
Dr. Draughon officially, an elder­ly,
but very loyal, alumnus let out
one big "War Eagle." The stadium
atmosphere must have gotten the
best of him.

Auburn is known as another
Brooklyn as far as baseball fans
are concerned. Athletic Supporters
here are known for breaking every
rule of courtesy when competition
v/ith a visiting team is close.
We'd like to suggest that specta­tors
at the baseball games with
Alabama here this week end try
to foster a little of that Auburn
spirit by showing the Capstone
crowd just what good sportsman­ship
can be. Our relations with the
University are on a high level
now, considering the natural feel­ing
of competition, but could be
seriously hampered by a poor re­ception
of its diamond delegates.
Mr. Harry Hertfeld, prominent
Alexander City banker, deserves a
bouquet of roses for his recent
establishment of the Hertzfeld
Fund. This fund has been.set up
to provide speakers for each of the
schools here at Auburn during the
coming quarters. Dr. J. L. Brake-field,
a member of the Birming­ham
Chamber of Commerce and
a very well-known speaker, will
be the first in the series when he
addresses members of the School
of Agriculture.
We would like to express our
thanks and appreciation to Mr.
Hertzfeld for giving the students
of Auburn this fine series of
speakers. With m e n like Harry
Hertfeld giving their full support
__to their alma mater, Auburn stu­dents
can point with pride to its
active and distinguished alumni.
In the latest issue of Motive,
magazine of the Methodist Student
Movement, many startling and
provocative answers are given to
a question put to representatives
from 20 colleges concerning re­ligion
on' the campus and its posi­tion
today. The general opinion
seems to be that it is losing its
punch.
Think over some of your recent
bull sessions. How much time was
spent in discussing religion rela­tive
to sex topics and gripes about
the process of education? How
much time is s p e n t in obvious
religious activities compared to
movies, parties, card games, and
other forms of recreation? How
seriously do you delve into the
wonders of religion, if you consider
them at all?
Campus church student groups
draw only a small percentage of
members of their denomination at
regular meetings. Special religious
activities, Emphasis Week and re­vivals,
create more interest, but
fade from memory soon after their
completion.
Can student life make any pro­gress
without giving religion a
place of utmost importance? Ob­viously
not. But will it take a
miraculous movement to draw
students back to religion, or will
they gradually drift back into a
group who enthusiastically place
religion at the top of the list?
DEAD END By Joe Pilcher
Thanks to the political maneu­vering
of our governor, the Honor­able
Jim Folsom, the controversy
over the repeal of the poll tax has
once more arisen. There are good
arguments on both sides of this
question—but they do not stem
from the racial issue.
This poll tax controversy can­not
be broken down into black and
white components. Years ago thaft
would have been possible, but not
today. The poll tax denies the vote
to as many whites as it does Ne­groes.
It discriminates against a
man's pocketbook, not the color of
his skin.
Speaking in broad generaliza­tions,
the prime issue at stake in
the squabble is this: should we in
Alabama be unjust and undemo­cratic
by denying a poor man the
right to vote, or should we repeal
the poll tax and lower our voter
qualifications to the point that
even the most uninterested citizen
is able to vote, even those who
care so little about voting that
they refuse to pay for the privilege
at the meager rate of 3c per week?
There is much to ,be said in fa­vor
of both viewpoints. It is dis­tressing
to note, however, that so
far very few sound logical argu­ments
have* been presented by
either side. Both sides have gene­rated
' too m u c h heat and not
enough light; both sides have at­tempted
to appeal to the emotions
rather than to the intellect.
That is why both factions have
attempted to condense the poll tax
issue into a racial problem—pic­turing
the tax either as an instru­ment
of oppression used to keep
the Negroes in bondage, or as the
sole means of preventing Negroes
from "filling every office in Ala­bama's
Black Belt counties with-
Negro office-holders", (quotation

one of the best productions
put on by the group. When I at­tended

at first by the fact that
for the first time since I have
known of, the Player's, the perfor­mers
did not begin their produc­tion
exactly on the time which
they were scheduled to begin. I
must admit that this disappointing
factor later left' my mind after
having witnessed such an excel­lent

asked:

Installation Address
Partial text of President Ralph
B. Draughon's installation address
follows:
The Reverend Doctor Isaac Tay­lor
Tichenor on July 6, 1874, pre­sented
his. third annual report to
the Board of Trustees. He had be­come
the first President of the
Land Grant College of Alabama
when in 1872 the trustees of the
East Alabama Male College had
deeded t h e property of that
Methodist Arts College to the
State of Alabama for the purpose
of establishing here in Auburn a
college for the education of the
Agricultural and Industrial classes
under the provisions of the Morrill
Act of 1862. It is of interest to
note that the Institution began as
a church-related Methodist Col­lege,
and that after becoming a
State College, its first president
was a Baptist minister who also
held the professorships "of moral
philosophy and of agriculture.
. President Tichenor had begun
his task of creating here a Land-
Grant College with a staff of only
six professors. The state was bank­rupt
from the results of war and
reconstruction. Our agriculture
was destitute, and whatever indus­try
that had existed in Alabama
was prostrate. Income was desper­ately
low and poverty seemed to
have been the general condition.
Meanwhile, the Board of Trus­tees
and the Treasurer were hav­ing
a difficult time in extricating
the endowment resulting from the
sale of land script from the mare's
nest of depreciated State Bonds.
The faculty, and this calls to mind
another and more recent depres­sion,
were paid not in U. S. cur­rency
but in Alabama currency
which was depreciated to about
80 cents on the dollar.
Despite these discouraging con­ditions,
President Tichenor. could
report to his Board in these words
which clearly visualize the purpose
and ably foretell the future of this
institution:
"When they (the students) shall
be able to make the people of
Alabama more fully acquainted
with the designs and purposes of
the institution, and when increas­ing
prosperity shall enable the in­dustrial
classes of our state to give
a liberal education to then- sons,
these who manage and direct the
college confidently expect to make
it a grand element of power in the
development of the latent re­sources
of our State and a rich
blessing to our people."
Some years later, the first pres­ident
could look back on his la­bors
and thus report to his Board:
"The Education furnished by
this college fits men to develop
those interests on which depend
v
the future power and greatness
of the people."
"Men must learn to recuperate
our wasted lands, how to increase
the productive power of our labor;
how to make our languishing agri­culture
profitable; how to con­struct
and control machinery; how
to utilize our immense resources
before we can hope for any great
and permanent improvement in
. the condition of our people. No
other institution in the State pro­poses
to educate men for these
purposes."
"I have faith in the future of
our rising institution; not only in
its success as that success will be
measured by the thoughtless, by
the number of its students and the
variety and elegance of its equip­ments,
but by that other and better
measure of success—the blessings
it will bring to our people."
Thus, three quarters of a cen­tury
ago, the first president look­ed
down the years and committed
this institution to an ideal and a
pattern of service to the people
of the State. Over the years seven
presidents have held the institu­tion
to the great tasks for which it
was created. Faculties have come
and gone, devoted as a rule, tra­ditionally
heavy laden and under­paid.
Long -lives of distinguished
presidents and teachers have pro­vided
the rich capital of inspira­tion
and gerauls- which have
brought us to the Auburn of this
day. I h e r e pay tribute to the
memory and the glorious service
of them all. May their names be
never forgotten. Indeed they have
been over the years a noble com­pany
of adventurers, faring poorly,
but living richly on the frontiers
of knowledge and giving direction
and. spirit and tone, and courage
to the great host of students who
have come to this campus. .
Today, we can look back over
the years and realize that the stu­dents
have indeed fulfilled the
prophecy of our first president.
They have made our people more
fully acquainted with the designs
and purposes of this institution.
By their lives and contributions
they have aided greatly in bring­ing
a new prosperity to our state.
They have aided the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute to become
"a grand element of power in the
development of our latent re­sources
and a rich blessing to our
people."
The Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
has passed through many
vicissitudes. It has become inured
to financial hardship and the con­tinual
challenge of performing its
work with too little capital. It has
weathered storm and stress and
(Continued on page 8)
"Just think, dear," someday he
might become President of the
United States!"
How many proud parents have
made this statement as they gazed
down at their sleeping son, poured
into his crib like a Salvador Dali
pocket watch, entirely (and quite
happily) unaware of t h e fate
which his own mother and father
are planning for him.
If his parents are sincere, the
boy will probably grow up in a
world filled with quotes from Ar­ticle
II, Section 1 of the Constitu­tion.
There is no doubt that the
rules laid down in our Constitu­tion
are important, but it would
seem that other matters are
much more pressing to the parents
of a prospective President.
For example, the father of the
boy should be either a very re­ligious
man or a drunkard who
spends all his money betting on
horse races and hopping toad
contests. He has his choice of the
two, but it is almost imperative
that he be one or the other—who
has ever heard of a President's
having for a father a mill hand
or an ordinary streetcar conduc­tor?
While on the subject of fath­ers,
let us mention the fact that
it is best for the boy's father to
have a flowing white beard—that
seems to add a certain amount of
dignity to the President himself.
Then as the child grows older,
he should be taught to make use
of those subtle vote-getters, idio-syneracies.
He should be well-tutored
in the art of painting por­traits
with old whisk brooms, and
he should be taught to wear his
necktie in a timber hitch.
If it can be arranged, the child
should be born either in a log
cabin in Arkansas or in the back
room of a Bronx bar. What a suc­cess
story he'll have! The boy
should come from a family of 16
children. If that is not practical,
the parents should at least make
sure that he is not an only child;
for what is so rare as a President
without brothers and sisters?
To give him a good background
for his life in the White House,
the boy's mother and father should
pack him off to Africa to hunt big
game. Then too, there he will
have a chance to contract malaria,
elephantiasis, or some other dis­ease,
without which no President's
life would be complete.
The future leader of our coun­try
should be taught to love eith­er
classical music or homespun,
hillbilly rhythm, but with this
caution: he should not be allowed
to like both, and his tastes should
not run into the common, every­day
music that most people en­joy.
In connection with music, the
boy should learn to play an in­strument—
a piano, a guitar, or
even a tuba. Many politicians have
gleaned votes through the use of
as simple a machine as the "string
band".
The importance of baby kissing
cannot be overlooked; however, it
would seem that a politician of to­day
makes better progress by
kissing 19-year-old "babies".
If each of the above steps are
carried out carefully, the boy is
almost certain to become Presi­dent.
Then, after getting his name
in histoi-y books and having his
profile carved on a mountain, he
can get down to the task of rais­ing
his own children to become «
Presidents.
LETTERS
Dear Editor,
I too was interested in the con­troversy
b e t w e e n the "liberal
arts" and "sciences" as mention­ed
in the May 12th issue of The
Plainsman. However, I am not of
the opinion that the question is a
controversial one, but the partici­pator
did create interest.
In the letter of May 12th the
writer expressed his gripe to the
siJperiority complex of the engi­neering
students in regard to
non-engineering curricula. Such
an accusation is without form and
has no basis; but it can be admit­ted
that there are some "holier
than thou" among the halls of
Ramsay as well as any other place
on this campus or any other cam­pus,
but let us not be too hasty
with our condemnation.
I sometimes believe that fra­ternities
have the same attitude,
but man has a tendency to change
his opinion once he is removed
from the out-group to the in-group.
It was Shakespeare who
said, "A man's opinion is but a
parcel of his wealth". We must
not be deceived by the angle from
which we l o o k , because from
where I look the writer of that
letter is suffering from a morbid
disease, inferiority complex.
Sincerely,
William Roberts

Dead End
(Continued from page 4)
Talladega Daily Home).
This issue is heavily charged
with tradition, emotion, prejudice, j
and fear. That makes it even more
important that we think clearly
on the subject before reaching a
decision. We must disregard the
haragues of demagogues in both
camps; we must disregard obsolete
traditions; we must disregard any
arguments which can be used only
to further the political ambitions
of some unscrupulous office-seek­er!
We should base our decision
solely upon the merits of the case.
As a word of warning, let me
point out that our politicians and
office-holders will never rise
above the level of their constitu­ents.
By lowering our voter quali­fications,
we will in turn lower the
standards of our office-seekers.
On the other hand, if we sincerely
believe in rule by the masses, then
we should repeal the poll tax. That
is the principle decision at stake
in this controversy.

Athletes Feats
by
Bob Ingram
rnnnmmmm<m«m ., , ^aptn <vro*amB
Saturday afternoon on Legion Field in Birmingham the
cream of the crop of a banner harvest of Southeastern Con­ference
track stars will meet in the finals of the conference
tournament. It should be quite an affair. Never has so much
excitement been engendered by an SEC tourney. A number
of SEC records will be endangered by the invasion of track
stars.
Sprinters Paul Bienz of Tulane and Tilford Neely of
Mississippi State both are conceded chances of cracking the
conference dash records. Martin Korik of Tennessee will be
aiming for a new pole vault record, having already bettered
the SEC mark in dual competition this year.
The so-called experts have narrowed the field down to
three for team honors—Georgia Tech, L.S.U. and Auburn.
The Engineers of Tech have looked extremely .impressive...in
dual meets this year. L.S.U., winner of the championship 13
times in 16 attempts, has gradually improved as the season
progressed.
Auburn is reckoned with largely because of three men-^
Whitey Overton, Joe Pennington and John Brnilovich. These
three performers should bring home a total of 20 points for
the Auburn cause.
From where I am stationed it looks like L.S.U. for first,
Auburn second, Tech third and Tulane fourth. If you are a
believer in long shots, Auburn is your baby.
* * *
If past records can be used as a criteria, then Auburn's
new basketball coach, Joel Eaves, is a cinch to be a success.
A graduate of Auburn in 1937, Coach Eaves has made it a
habit of being successful in anything he takes part in.
While at Auburn he knocked down every honor that could
come to a student. An eight-letter man in sports, he did not
limit his talents solely to athletics, also being a member of
Spades, ODK, Phi Kappa Phi, Kappa Delta Pi, Scabbard and
Blade, and of course, the "A" Club.
Upon graduation Eaves was appointed head basketball
coach at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. From
June, 1941, to December, 1945, he served in the Field Artillery
of the U. S. Army, being discharged with the rank of lieuten­ant
colonel. Along with his other accomplishments while in
the army, Eaves found time to coach an unbeaten football
team, a basketball team with a record of 40 wins and 4 de­feats,
and to marry a major in the Army Nurse Corps.
Since his discharge Coach Eaves has been at Murphy High
in Atlanta and has posted a splendid record there. His basket­ball
team of last year had a season record of 25 wins and 4
defeats, winning both the city and Greater Atlanta cham­pionships,
and going to the finals of the G.IAA. tournament.
Looking at the individual rather than the record, Coach
Eaves is 35 years old, married, and has one child. A tall,
distinguished-looking man, he is one of the most congenial
persons you will ever meet. In his quietly confident way, he
leaves you with the impression that, regardless of the under­taking,
he will come out on top.

Tigers Fall To Georgia Tech Trackmen;
Pennington Cracks High Hurdles Reord
By Bob Ingram
A powerful Georgia Tech track squad proved too good
for the Auburn track team Saturday and they scored a hard-earned,
but clear-cut victory over the Tigers, 70x/3-552/3.
Although the outcome of the meet was still in doubt until
the running of the final event, Tech had the situation well

afternoon, t Tech took eight first
places to Auburn's six, and placed
men in every event. Auburn was
held scoreless only in the shot put.
As had been generally expected,
Tech's great all-around performer
Buddy Fowlkes was easily the out­standing
man of the meet. Fowlkes
won both the 100 and 220-yard
dashes, the 220-low huVdles, and
placed third in the broad jump.
In losing, Auburn looked as
good as their most avid fans could
desire. Capllain Joe Pennington
was brilliant in winning the 120-
yard high hurdles, setting a new
Auburn record for that event
with a time of 14.5.

Auburn Meets Tide In Two Game Series Here This Weekend
Tiders Wallop Auburn In Tuscaloosa;
Hill, Maxwell Likely Auburn Hurlers
The Auburn baseball team gets a chance to redeem itself
this weekend when they meet the University of Alabama
nine in a two-game series on Drake Field. Last week end in
Tuscaloosa Auburn lost two games to the hard-hjtting Tiders,
4-3 and 20-7.
In the opening game with Ala­bama,
although allowed only two
hits, Auburn made an interesting
game of it. Trailing 2-1 entering
the final frame, the 'Tigers forged
ahead with a two-run outburst.
'Barrta came back with a single
tally in the bottom of the ninth to
square things up, then scored the
winning run in the tenth inning
on two hits.
The Crimson Tide had their
hitting caps well adjusted in the
second game, as they pounded
three Auburn hurlers for 15 hits
and a 20-7 victory. Auburn fielders
didn't help matters by committing
14 errors afield.
The series with Alabama this
week end will be the final home
games of the year for the Tiger
nine. The following week end Au­burn
will go to Nashville for a
doubleheader with Vanderbilt on
May 28.
Probable pitchers for Auburn
against Alabama are George Hill
and Jack Maxwell. Coach "Happy"
Campbell will probably counter
with either Gordon Pettus, Al
Lary or Allen Worthington. Pettus*
received credit for both wins over
Auburn last week end.

Hill Is Anxious
To Beat Alabama
On His Birthday
There is one game in particular
that Pitcher George Hill, Jr.
wants to win for Auburn.
It's the May 21 tilt with the Uni­versity
of Alabama that the Ports­mouth,
Ohio, youth wants to win—
for two reasons.
First, because Alabama is Au­burn's
ancient rival and secondly,
because it's George's birthday.
The slender curve ball artist
will be 19 and he has already ear­ned
three varsity letters at Au­burn—
two in basketball and one
last season in baseball.
His record on the mound last
year was four wins and no losses
in the tough Southeastern Confer­ence.
He was rated No. 1 pitcher
behind Willard Nixon who sported
a 12-1 and is now hurling for
Louisville as property of the Bos­ton
Red Sox.
Now a sophomore majoring in
physical education, George's high
school career was a lively one. He
won six letters in three sports—
football, basketball, and baseball.
During his senior year, he made
the All-Ohio basketball team.
George credits his Portsmouth
High School coach, Billy Rohr, and
Danny Doyle, his Auburn baseball
and cage coach last year, for de­veloping
and encouraging him as
an athlete. Doyle is now a scout
for the Boston Red Sox.
After graduation from Auburn,
George plans to play pro base-ball
awhile and enter the coaching
field.

Four games were played in In­dependent
softball circles last
week as play came to a close. The
Zippers and the Navy Blues won
their respective league titles with
a final victory. T h e winner of
League I was decided in a re-play
Monday.
The Zippers led off the week
with an 8-1 win over the Navy
Golds. Cranford baffled the Navy
batters with his pitches, yielding
only one safety, a triple, which
batted in the only Navy run. Navy
hurler Whitt turned in a fine per­formance
for the Navy as he held
the big Zip bats to eight hits. The
Zippers concentrated all of their
hits in two innings to score eight
runs and go into a tie with the A
Club for the league lead.
Lipscomb's Apartments out-slugged
the Army ROTC 16-14 in
a hitters' duel Monday which went
into extra innings. The Lips got
three hits and two runs in the
ninth inning to get the win., Army's
Shaddix led' the hitters with a
five for six effort which included
a homer and a double.
The Zippers scored a run in the
eighth inning to garner a 7-6 extra
-frame win from the A Club. It
was a close, well played game as
Cranford and Wallis, two first-class
pitchers, dueled it out.
Spitznagle, with a homer and a
double, led the Zip hitters and
Wallis led the A-Clubbers with-three
singles.
The Navy Blues rounded out an
unbeaten season Wednesday as
they won the League III title with
a 20-0 win ov£r the Boys. Navy
was the only team to remain un­beaten
in Independent play this
year and enters the playoffs with
a clean record. Jim Osborne was
on the mound for the victors and
handcuffed the Boys w i t h four
singles. Osborne also contributed
a homer and a triple to Navy's
twenty-hit attack. Silber, Farnell,
Powers and Greenhill were the
leading hitters with three safeties
apiece.

Baker being charged with the loss.
Milton White led the Auburn
hitters with two singles.
On Saturday afternoon, the
Tiger frosh evened the series by

bottom of the sixth, Auburn pit­cher
Gene Hoehle knocked a dou­ble
that drove in Jim Walley with
the winning run.

with the loss. Charlie Jones paced
the Tiger hitters with three singles
in four times at bat. Ivey and

perennial pitcher, notched another
win Tuesday as he set TKE down
on five hits and fifteen strikeouts.
Laurie Pritchett, the Teke hurler,
matched Renfroe pitch-for-pitch
as he pitched a five-hitter, but
his mates were unable to come
through with a few timely base
knocks and Alpha Gamma Rho
won the decision 4-1.
Kappa Sig parlayed a five hit
attack into a six run total to whip
KA 6-4 in another League II con­test.
Hunter, Kappa Sig mo'unds-man,
held the Kappa Alpha stick-men
to eight hits and contributed
a double to the KS bat barrage to
gain the win. John Granaghan
turned in a creditable effort on
the mound for KA giving up only
five hits, but his teammates added
a like number of errors to give
the Kappa Sigs four unearned
runs and the ball game.
Alpha Gamma Rho won another
game Thursday by turning back
Pi Kappa Phi 5-3. "Durable" Ren-*
froe ran his weekly strikout total
to 24 by fanning nine batters in
this game. AGR got only four hits
off PKP twirler White, but took
advantage of six errors to push
across five runs.
Alpha Psi's Kennard fashioned
a two-hitter Tuesday against Sig­ma
Pi to give the vets a 3-2 win.
McAbee's seventh inning homer
broke a t w o-all deadlock after
Sigma Pi had knotted up the score
in the first half of the seventh on
an error and a double.
Sigma Chi bats blasted out four
homers in an 18 hit attack to rout
Phi Delta Theta, Thursday, 25-3.
Levi pitched a three hitter for
Sigma Chi to gain the win. Logan
Sharpless banged out four hits, in­cluding
two homers, to lead the
SC sluggers.
SPE won a rescheduled game
from ATO Monday 3-2 behind
Harold Brown's stingy, one hit
pitching. Brown was in control all
the way after a shaky second inn­ing
when ATO scored two of its
three runs and gained a one run
victory. Diamond, with a homer
and a single, and Westbrook, with
two singles and a double, led the
Sig Ep attack at the plate.

Recent Auburn Graduate Now Works
As Full Time Editor of Alumnews
By Jimmy Everett
When hundreds of Auburn Alumni pick up their copy of
The Auburn Alumnews this month to read the latest reports
from the Alma Mater, few of them will realize that it is the
work of a recently graduated senior, Luther Smith.
Serving as managing editor of the Alumnews for 16
months before graduating, Luther
accepted a full time job after he

Mr. Smith was born in Besse­mer
and attended Phillips High,
but he did not
become interest­ed
in journalism
until he joined
the Marines in
1945 a n d was
p l a c e d on the
"L e a t herneck"
staff in Wash-
| i n g t o n, D. C.
Soon he was an
associate editor
Smith of the magazine.
It was then he gave up his idea of
going into the ministry. After dis­charge
from the Marines he re­turned
to college.
Entering school as a freshman in
1946, Luther acquired valuable
experience on campus publica­tions.
He served as editor of the
Rat Bible and as associate editor
of The Plainsman in 1947, plus
editing his fraternity paper. Lu­ther
became interested in writing
and joined the Auburn Producers,
an organization which wrote radio
scripts. He also wrote several short
storys arid many features on Au­burn
students. These were pub­lished
in papers throughout t he
state.
During his junior and senior
years, Luther m a d e the Dean's

as "Student of the Week"
in The Plainsman. He is a mem­ber

and Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity.
In his present work Luther does
a great portion of the writing and
organizing material for the Alum­news
under the supervision of Mr.
Happy Davis, secretary of the
Alumni Association. He also works
with the ^Greater Auburn Fund"
which comes under the duties of
the Alumni office.
In the spare moments Luther
enjoys reading, usually biographi­cal
or historical subjects, plus
track and baseball, but when a
whole free afternoon turns up he
usually packs the fishing tackle in
the car and heads for the nearest
lake.

often it has known defeat a nd
despair. But, over the years, it
has never departed from the great
ideals of service for which it was
founded. It has, through the lives
of its staff and faculty and stu­dents,
tremendously affected the
lives and well-being of our people.
The little faculty of six professors
has grown into an army of work­ers
on the faculty of the College,
the Experiment Stations, and the
Extension Service. Today we em­ploy
about 1400 professionally
trained persons who are daily en­gaged
in the education of the
Agricultural and Industrial classes.
The first student body of about
60 has grown to 7,600. The origin­al
16 acres devoted to experiment­al
farming has grown into a won­derful
and far-flung system of
experiment stations and a research
program that annually repays its
cost many times over in new in­come
for the people of Alabama.
The one building that was the
college has grown into the plant
of today.
Today, I think we all must agree
that the world stands on the thres­hold
of a new era. Indeed,
throughout this century the great
tide of humanity has groaned and
struggled in the slow and painful
devoted service to teaching, to the
textile industry and to the fra­ternity.
He was- presented with a
Phi Psi scroll of honor, a leather
bound volume of congratulatory
letters and a silver tray inscribed
with signatures of former students
and friends and dedicated to Mr.
and Mrs. Camp.

process of turning in a new direc­tion.
The travail and sorrow that
the people of the world have en­dured
may in large part be charg­ed
to the lag between technologi­cal
development and social ad­justment
to change.
What does the future hold for
this institution in this confused
and dangerous age?
I think, like the first president,
that Auburn will continue to rise
and grow if we can continue to
seek for truth and teach it in an
atmosphere of freedom of inquiry
which permits the discovery of
basic evidence which we may ap­ply
to human problems.
We must continue to hold before
us the ideals of service which have
guided us throughout the years.
We must never cease to serve in
the recuperation of wasted Jands;
making farming profitable; de­signing,
constructing, and control­ling
machinery; utilizing our hu­man,
spiritual, and physical re­sources
for t h e permanent im­provement
of the condition of our
people. ,
We, must somehow blend our
teachings to the end that those we
teach may orient themselves in a
rapidly changing world.
We must find the means to in­culcate
in our students, and in
our citizens, an awakened con­sciousness
of our great and grow­ing
moral and material responsi­bilities
as citizens of .America and
of the world. We must continue to
seek a religious philosophy to
guide us, and to restrain us, as we
apply the truths of research to
the problems of our times. We
must continually sift from the
growing knowledge those truths
best calculated to preserve a nd
promote the values and virtues of
our civilization for the well-being
of the generations to come after
us.
Let us here rededicate this in­stitution
to its great mission among
men. Let us look to the future
with full awareness of the dan­gers
and labors that lie ahead.
Above all, let us walk in unity
and understanding.
Governor Folsom and Gentle­men
of the Board of Trustees, I
accept the charge you have placed
in my keeping, and I repeat, with
all of the fervor of my being, the
glorious words of the first presi­dent,
"I have faith in the future of
our rising institution!"
