Army To Call Grads
OFFICIAL NOTICE
Warning is hereby issued to
Student Body Presidential candi­date
Eugene Allred and his sup­porters
that removal of the cam­paign
posters of an opponent con­stitutes
a violation of election
regulations. And, should there be
a reoccurrence of the despicable
incident of the night of Monday,
April 2, 1961, at which time num­erous
posters of candidate Bill
Brooks were removed from the
campus bulletin boards less than
five hours after they had been

face disqualification.
Student Body Board of
Election Qualifications
- Col. G. P. Privett, professor of
military science and tactics, to­day
announced that the Army will
order back to active service all
graduating ROTC students.
According to a release from the
Department of the Army, it is
contemplated that during July,
August and September, ROTC
students who will graduate from
colleges and universities and be
commissioned in the organized
reserve corps at the close of the
1950-51 academic year, will be
ordered into active military ser­vice.
It is estimated that about 10,000
students will be affected by the
program, the army said.
It is planned to order into ac­tive
military service those mem­bers
of the organized reserve
corps commissioned from the
ROTC, who were deferred from
selective service under an ROTC
deferment agreement, as well as
those members of the organized
reserve corps commissioned from
the ROI^C who did not execute
an ROTC deferment agreement
and who have had less than two
years prior active military ser­vice.
These students may volun­teer
for immediate service upon
graduation if they so desire.
It is planned that these newly-commissioned
officers will be or­dered
to their basic branch ser­vice
school for approximately 90
days upon entering into active
military service.
Those who have not executed
an ROTC deferment agreement
and who have over two years'
prior active federal service will
not be ordered to extended ac­tive
duty upon graduation unless
they volunteer.
It is contemplated that students
who graduated at mid-term will
be ordered into the active mili­tary
service during April in ac­cordance
with the announcement
of December 26, 1950, the army
said.
Pilcher Vetoes Audit Law;
Bill Returned To Senate
Pilcher Clarifies
Draughon's Stand
On Audit Service
• By Gene Moore
In an effort to clarify Pres.
Ralph B. Draughon's stand in the
current controversy over the pro­posed
Audit Law, The Plainsman
contacted Joe Pilcher, President of
the Student Body, for official com­ment
yesterday.
Gene Allred, a candidate for the
post of Student Body President,
recently made the statement, "Be­cause
of the extreme enthusiasm
on the part of President Draughon
and the administration and after
collecting the opinions of many
students on the campus, I deemed
it wise to vote in favor of this
bill (the bill proposing to make
the Audit Law compulsory for all
organiations on the campus)."
Asked for comment,- Pilcher
said, "I would like to take this
opportunity to clarify President
Draughon's attitude toward a free
audit service. I feel that it is de­plorable
that his position in this
matter has been grossly misrepre­sented
to the student body.
"In a personal conversation
with me on March 28, President
Draughon reiterated his desire to
see a free audit service on a vol­untary
basis, and asked that I
niake it clear to the student body
that under no conditions will an
audit service be established unless
the plans and policy originate
with and are administered by
student government. President
Draughon expressed a willingness
to cooperate with the student
body by placing a free auditor at
the disposal of the treasurer of
of the student body, but he made
it clear that the administration of
the audit service was the sole
responsibility of student govern­ment.
"At no time has President
Draughon attempted to influence
any student legislation. His only
comment on t h e compulsory
clause of the Audit Law was that
he personally felt that it would
more effective on a voluntary
basis as a free service from stu­dent
government to student or­ganizations.
Again, however, he
reiterated the fact that the de­cision
was the sole responsibility
of student government.
"I want to make it clear to the
student body that the proposed
Audit Law passed by the Student
Senate on March 26, reflects no
opinions other than those of stu­dents.
I "deplore the fact that
President Draughon's attitude was
misrepresented to the student
body, and I sincerely hope that I
have clarified his position."

controversial Audit Law Monday night. The law will be
sent back to t h e Student Senate which meets this afternoon
at 4:30 in Samford 209.

Today's meeting of the Student
Senate will be open to all inter­ested
students. Pilcher urged all
interested students to attend and
to ask the Senate to make the law
voluntary.
The Audit Law was adopted by
an 8-7 vote last week in the Sen­ate
with Gene Allred, Senate pre­siding
officer, casting the decid­ing
vote. Pilcher called the open
meeting Monday to "hear more
student opinion on the law."

Gaither Represents
Auburn At Atlanta
Engineering Confab
Robert B. Gaither of Staten
Island, N. Y., represented Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute on
April 2 in Atlanta, when students
from several southern universities
presented papers at a mechani­cal
engineering meeting.
The conference was a joint
meeting of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineering and the
southern division of that group.
Gaither spoke on "Applications
of-Atomic Energy to Power Pro­duction."
A senior at A.P.I., he is a mem­ber
of Tau Beta Pi and Pi Tau
Sigma, engineering honorary fra­ternities,,
and of Steerage, NROTC
honorary. He is slated to enter the
Navy after graduation in June.
This month he won first prize
for the presentation of his paper
on "Atomic Energy" at a meeting
of the Birmingham section of the
ASME. He was competing with
representatives from several Ala­bama
colleges.
Rho Chi Honor Society
Elects Spring Officers
Rho Chi, national pharmaceu­tical
honor society, recently elected
officers for the spring quarter.
James H. Brannen, Jr., Montgom­ery,,
was chosen president.
Other officers include Alvin H.

atives spoke out against the law,
on a compulsory basis. No official
o r g a n i z a t i o n representatives
spoke in favor of the compulsory
part although several students,
who did not necessarily represent
organizations, did take part in the
discussion.
Most of the opposition to the
law came from' the engineering
societies. All engineering groups
at the meeting were opposed to
the compulsory phase of the law.
Representatives of the Ag Club,
Alabama Farmer, Ag Engineers,
Delta Sigma Pi, Omicron Delta
Kappa, AIO, Scarab, and Lambda
Epsilon Chi also spoke against the
compulsory section.
Wayne Arthur, Ag Council pre­sident;
Arnold Fagen, Max Ellis,
members of Theta Chi fraternity,
and Jere Hoar, Claude. Moore,
Dick Cook, members of Alpha
Gamma Rho, led the fight for the
compulsory phase of the law. All-red,
who had originally cast the
deciding vote in making the law
compulsory, made no comment.
He was present at the meeting.
Those leading the opposition to
the compulsory phase of the law
were Bill Brooks, Student Body
Treasurer, Walt Weatherly, Ala­bama
farmer Business Manager, '
Ed Lee Spencer, Delta Sigma Pi,
James Weber, president Engi­neering
Council, Tommy Burton,
Pi Kappa Alpha, Thornber Smith,
Ag Engineers, and Bill Wilson,
Organizations Chairman.
Ed Crawford, Bill Falkenberry,
and Herman Blagg, members of
the Student Senate, restated their
opinions on the law.
All of the spokesmen who op­posed
the law being on a com­pulsory
basis stated that they felt
each organization would take part
in an auditing service program,
but that the Senate had no right
to force the organizations to take
part in the program.
Arthur felt that the law must
be compulsory to work and be of
benefit to student government. He
stated that he felt that the com­pulsory
part would help those or­ganizations
who needed help the
most.
During the meeting, Pilcher
called on Mr. James E. Foy, as­sistant
director of student affairs,
to clai'ify the administration's
position on the law.
Pilcher pointed out that the ad­ministration's
opinion had been
misrepresented in a statement by
an election candidate. Mr. Foy
pointed out that the administra­tion
had always taken a "hands
off" policy in regard to student
government, although they "nat­urally
have personal opinions."
He stated this was the case with
the Audit Law.
After hearing the opinion of the
group President Pilcher vetoed
the law. His statement is as fol­lows:
"Following, the open meeting
Monday afternoon I vetoed the
compulsory Audit Law passed by
the Student Senate on March 26.
This action was taken in compl­iance
with the wishes of organiza­tions
from the Schools of Engi­neering,
Commerce, Architecture
and Chemistry.
"These groups expressed a
strong desire to see a voluntary
audit service, but were strongly
opposed to any compulsory fea­ture
of the law.
"This law was designed as a
service to student organizations
from student government. It was
never designed to be used as a
club to be held over the heads
of unwilling organizations. t
"In view of the fact that all or­ganizations
appear eager to use
a voluntary audit service, I plan
to submit to the Student Senate
a recommendation calling for a
voluntary audit law."

THE WAY 1 SEE IT
By Ed Crawford
Although many Auburn stu­dents
probably did not realize
the importance when reading last
week's Plainsman story on cam­pus
elections, they were reading
the best news for student gov­ernment
in Auburn history.
Listen to Stuart Leach's front
page story on the election:
"The campus political scene has
changed somewhat since the
spring elections last year at which
time only 28 students were can­didates
for the 23 vacancies to
be filled. The reason for this
is that there are two combines
in existence on campus rather
than one, as was the case last
year. For the present, both par­ties
choose to remain unofficial
but there has been same talk of
open party campaigning."
This should be long-awaited
news for those interested in see­ing
Auburn student government
become strong and firm.
Although the parties have not
openly appealed to the student
body as political machines, the
evidence of party ties is clear.
The groups appear about equal
in vote potential. Both appear to
have as their basic platform,
stronger and more active student
government. Each appears to of­fer
through its mere existence
and platform a healthy future for
Auburn student government.
Last week's Plainsman also car­ried
another interesting news
story. This news article focused
attention on the most hotly-con­tested
Student Body race—presi­dent
of the Student Body. In
telling of the two candidates, Bill
Brooks and Eugene Allred, the
story pointed out conflicting
views of the two candidates on
the controversial Audit Law.
This was only the latest in a
number of conflicts in which All-red
has become involved. Through
his own choosing he has commit­ted
acts which to say the least
make me wonder how important
the president of the Student Body
is to him.
For years Gene's fraternity (Al­pha
Gamma Rho) and mine (Sig­ma
Nu) were members of the
same political party. In the nom­ination
for president in our par­ty
on Monday, March 5, Allred
lost by a vote of 7 to 5. Prior
to the nominations each of the 12
party members vowed to fellow
members that they would stick
together regardless of the out­come
in nominations. Wayne Ar­thur
spoke comforting words of
assurance of the loyalty of All-red
and Alpha Gamma Rho. Af­ter
this, Allred was then nom­inated
for senior senator. He re­fused
to let his name be consider­ed
on the grounds that he would
be too busy. However, Alpha
Gamma Rho received a place in
the party with Sam Phelps being
nominated for a sophomore sen­ator
post.
According to reliable members
of the new political party, on
Tuesday, March 6, Allred tried to
get the nomination in their own
party. On Wednesday, March 7,
he was denied the nomination in
the new party. They 4ook Al­pha
Gamma Rho into the party
but refused to give official sup­port
to Allred due to some mem­bers'
aversion for him. Thus
young Allred found himself with­out
any party support. After
breaking his vows to the old par­ty
and thus taking Alpha Gamma
Rho out of the party, his place
in the old group was filled. He
had broken his promise to the
old party.
Since then Allred has spread
the word that he was mistreated
by the old campus party-. He
claims to have had 7 votes line­up
prior to the meeting on March
5. This was proved untrue when
the 11 other frats were question­ed
and it found that not more
than four had promised to sup­port
Allred prior to the meeting.
He picked up one of the uncom­mitted
votes; Brooks received 7.
His latest doubtful maneuver
was his comment on the student-administration
discussion of the
Audit Law. In commenting he
said "this law was met with un­animous
approval of both Pres­ident
Draughon and all students
present." This is untrue.
The general idea of the law
was approved by all present.
However, President Draughon
emphatically stated that he per­sonally
felt the law would be
more effective if it were placed
on a "voluntary" service basis. He
also made it clear that this was
merely his opinion and that the
student government could write
the .law any way they felt best.
What makes presidency of the
Student Body so important that

AS IT LOOKS TO ME
Two Auburn Artists
Exhibit Art Works
Two Auburn artists, Maltby
Sykes and Louis Abney, are rep­resented
in the Brooklyn Museum
Print Annual, which opened on
March 21 at the museum. The ex­hibition
is selected annually to
present a cross section of out­standing
contemporary American
works in the graphic arts media.
Jury of selection was composed
of Joseph Albers, chairman of de­sign
at Yale-University; Elmer Ad-ler,
of the Princeton University
art faculty; and Una E. Johnson,
Curator of Prints at the Brooklyn
Museum.
Gene would double-cross the old
party and then try to involve
President Draughon by telling an
untruth? Why is any position
worth placing, one's, self in appos­ition
of doubt? Are there any
deeper ties to Allred than meet
the eye? We wonder.
By Ben Enfinger
A democratic, two-party sys­tem
has been established this
year for the first time. A new
party has been formed by a group
interested in better government
and more representative elections.
In the past few years there has
existed on this campus only one
political organization. This group
selected the officials of the stu­dent
government. Campus elec­tions
were merely a formality.
This year there are two organi­zations
sponsoring candidates for
most positions.
The new party was formed,
not from a desire to monopolize
student government, but because
we desire to see elections held
that will have meaning and sig­nificance.
We do not control a
large majority of the votes, nor
do we desire to. Our object is
to give every man a chance to be
elected on his ability.
For the first time indepen­dents
will have a voice in elec­tions.
In the election coming this
month independents will pick the
men they want for office. The
two parties' strengths will be ev­enly
divided, so the organization
of a new party and the two-par­ty
system is the greatest boon to
independent voters that has hap­pened
on this campus.
Publication e l e c t i o n s have
always been conducted without
definite political affiliations. We
believe this to be a fair and wise
policy and one that is to the ad­vantage
of quality student publi­cations.
Therefore we are not
supporting any publications can­didate.
The policy on publications is
one we advocate carrying over
to all non-governmental elec­tions.
The monopoly of certain sor­orities
on women's student gov­ernment
is a practice that is to
the detriment of better women's
government. We are very much
opposed to this policy and any
other similar strangulation of
student expression.
With a two-party system no
group can run a slate of mediocre
candidates and expect to win.
Each group will strive to run bet­ter
men as a matter of self-pre­servation.
This is bound to result
in higher calibre officials and in
a greater' voice for all students
in school affairs.
Not only does the formation
of our second party assure the
independent a voice in elections,
but gives him a chance to be
elected himself. Our policy is to
run the best mai; under such a
policy we welcome independents
and will endeavor to support any
cepted in the commission's Wash­ington
office until further notice.
The commission states that per­sons
who attained eligible ratings
in the recent junior scientist and
engineer examination, and have
not yet received an appointment
need not apply for this new ex­amination
as their eligibility will
be continued.

The Man With the Tape
Compulsory Audit?
As The Plainsman editorial deadline
nears, the Audit Law issue is still in doubt.
An open meeting was scheduled to be held
in the Student Body office Monday after­noon;
but just what the outcome of the
meeting was, we have no inkling at the
time of this writing. Student Body Presi­dent
Joe PilcheT has not signed the law,
nor has he vetoed it, but he is expected to
take some action on the matter after Mon­day's
meeting. Details of further develop­ments
in the heated controversy will be
carried on the front page of today's Plains­man.
The law stands, as passed by the Senate,
that non-social organizations on the campus
must have their books audited by. the
designated Student Body Auditor at the
end of each quarter. However, Pilcher's re­fusal
to sign the law would indicate that
he is inclined to use his veto power, pend­ing
assurance that the majority of the
Student Body is opposed to the Law as it
stands. What this would mean is open to
question since it would take an assenting
vote by eight senators to override the
presidential veto. (Although the law passed
8-7 last week, Senate President Gene All-red,
who cast the deciding vote in favor of
the compulsory audit, will not be able to
vote except in the case of another tie.)
We are glad to. see that interest is
mounting on the controversy. Not only does
it offer conclusive proof that students are
very much interested in student govern­ment,
but also that they plan to see to it
that the Senate will'accurately represent
student opinion in its voting and not the
members' personal viewpoints. In short,
students don't intend to be pushed around
and when it appears that a piece of un­desirable
legislation is about to be crammed
down their throats, they will go about do­ing
something about it. This has certainly
Ah Unwanted System
With the approaching election, interest
in the various Student Body offices is ris­ing
to a near-feverish pitch. As we said
before, the main reason behind this interest
is that at long last there are two political
parties sponsoring candidates in the coming
series of races.
In our opinion, this is the best thing
that could have happened to Auburn stu­dent
government., Besides increasing, in- *
terest in campus affairs,it has protftded op-**
portunities in student government for all
interested persons, regardless of affiliation.
Previously, only the members of certain
groups on campus could expect to meet
with any success in seeking an office. Now,
with the increased organization participa­tion,
every aspirant can run for office with
an even chance of winning, for the two
groups are split about evenly in member­ship.
1 It appears that Auburn politics has quit
following the model and has the jump on
state, politics—while the state is wallowing
in the lethargy of the one-party system,
Auburn elections will now be characterized
by a. domestic, two-party system.
The advent of the two-party.. system
here is certainly a, noteworthy develop­ment!
However, we'd like to point out one
of the evils, usually concommittanf with
the two-party system, which both parties
must avoid like the itch: the spoils system.
This facet of Jacksonian Democracy is de­plorable.
Political Columns
In this week's issue, we are carrying two
columns pertaining to the campus political
set-iip. This is the first time in recent years
that such have appeared in The Plainsman.
We feel that the political.type of column
is a very definite asset to the paper and a
help to the student body. The columns are
written by representatives from both cam-
- '•'
been proved by the actions of the engi­neering
and vet hill organizations in par­ticular.
We hope that this show of spirit will not
decrease one iota during the coming year.
It appears that it won't at least until the
Audit Law controversy is settled the way
the students want it.
It is a deplorable situation when the
Student Senate ignores student opinion io
such an extent that a law like this Audit is
ever passed. Probably, most students would
favor the free audit service, but on an op­tional
basis. The principal of campus orga­nizations
being forced to have their ac­count
books audited is naturally offensive
to the organization's members. And the
law is made even more repulsive by having
a particular auditor do the job. To us, it
appears easily understandable why so
many organizations are "up in arms" over
the compulsory nature of the law. An op­tional
service is fine, but as a compulsory
"knuckling under" it is abominable.
The whole controversy has one bright
facet to those of us who have been depress­ed
that political campaigns, local, state, or
national, have been conducted merely on a
popularity-influence basis rather on issues.
In this Audit Law, we have the makings of
a sound campaign issue, for the candidates
for President of the Student Body repre­sent
the opposite sides of the controversy.
Candidate Allred has shown that he is in
favor of the compulsory service by voting
for the law at the Senate meeting last
week. His reasons were stated in last
week's Plainsman. The other presidential
candidate, Bill Brooks, has asked for a
presidential veto of the compulsory law as
passed. Here, we have a real issue which
students can consider in casting their bal­lots.
At first glance, it would appear that
the spoils system is an unlikely eventuality
—we certainly hope that it is true. How­ever,
being practical, in the case of the
12 appointments to be made by the Student
Body President with the approval of the
Senate, there is ample opportunity for
Jackson's brain child to be reborn here. As
an example, one candidate for president
has allredy made a statement, witnessed
by the assembled leaders of one party,
that, as far as Ithe appointments are con­cerned,
he would look after the men that
"look after me." This, must not be thecase.
The spoils system must not replace the
merit system in the new student govern­ment
set-up.
It is important that the leaders of both
parties so guide their organizations that
no consideration. of party affiliation is
made after the election. If parties were
carried any further than general .elctidns,
corruption would, be ;the end result. This
could conceivably extend to the selection
of membership of the various campus
honoraries—a disgraceful situation at best
which would mean the ultimate revoking
of the organizations' charters.
The assurance of the complete omission
of any sort of spoils system is in the hands
of the party leaders and we urge that they
see that no such system ever puts in its
unwanted appearance here at Auburn.
pus political parties and will represent the
opinions of the writers and not those of the
editor nor the staff. Also, The Plainsman
editorial columns will -continue to deal
with the situation.
We hope that this column innotation
will be well-received.

A new and completely modern architecture building, Big­gin
Hall, now hides the veteran and antique architectural
nightmare, Broun Hall, when viewed on College Street one
rod south of Main Gate. The $450,000 home of Auburn ar­chitects
completely overshadows the improvements of two
years ago on Toomer's Corner.
On or shortly after April 16 architects will
pack drawing boards, design sketches, and no-doz
pills, and leave the old building, erected
in 1879, to the music makers. Rules concern­ing
the use of the new Biggin Hall have al-fH'
ready been given.
SCENE—In corner booth of Athey's at 6
a.m. two red-eyed architects sit, talking and
drinking coffee. Both have been working
constantly since 8 post njeridian, chain smok­ing
Cavaliers and listening to an amateurish
disc jockey broadcasting on an all-night pro­gram
from Cincinnati. One is a senior with wrinkled fore­head
and permanently red eyes, well set in the cranial cavi­ty.
The other—a freshman, comparatively fresh and, en­thusiastic,
enthralled with the newness of it all, still laugh­ing
at frequent, intervals. Samford strikes 6:15. Both yawn.
The elder speaks. ;• ,. ,
Boy, this curfew on the new building (not to be confused
with the, structure on Thatch) is really going to be fine. No
late working hours. In bed every night by 11.
Yeah. It'll give the charwoman more time to clean up.
I don't see why they don't make it 8 p.m. and conserve on
the electricity.
Me too, let's see, at 600 kilowatts per night at .01-cents per
kilowatt, that amounts to six cents every night. That plays
hell with the college budget.
The younger one pauses, scratches his hives, and orders
toast. The waitress whisks away his half-empty coffee cup.
The elder one strikes a match,.yawns while the sulphur fumes
are dissipating, and lights a Cavalier. The younger one con­tinues.
Maybe they'd take it outa the student ac fee. I under­stand
there's a contingent fund which is supposed to take care
of the incidental expenses. Amounts to something iike two or
three thousand dollars per quarter that the students pay just
for that.
Naw, it'd have to go thru B&G.
I wonder why they're closing it so soon every night?
Don't know. Guess they're trying to save on the wear and
tear. After all, look at Broun and the old one. Wrecks!
Oh well, it'll certainly be nice. Finishing up early every
night;..
Yeah.

2. Get a letter from your parents saying sorry, but you
can't make it. The army respects authority.
3. Try running around the block 15 times before you go
for a physical. You may be able to convince the doctors you
have asthma. _ , _,• , . . , . . . . . , •,
4. Wink affectionately at the psychiatrist. If he winks back
at you , . . run! . , .....,., v
5.. Make occasional remarks such as, "My, doesn't Big Ben
sound wonderful at this time of day," or "Answer the phone."
e t c . £ i il . . . . J •,-:,•.,
6. Collar the nearest doctor and shout,, "Hurry up this pro­cess!
I want to fight, ya hear me, fight, FIGHT!" You'll get
a mental discharge, sure. . . . . . . .;•.•;...[
7. Calmly inquire, "Comrade,,is this where I join the Peo­ple's
Army to fight the. imperialists in Korea?"
CAUTION: Never tell the officials that you have poor
vision. You'll wind up on the front line where you can see
the enemy clearly.

Students to Meet With1 Civic Group;
Futuife /ffij^ovelfieiills i r e Planned
x By Jim Jennings
• Many Auburn students have the, opinion that the mer­chants
of Auburn, wouid. .be more in style if they wore masks
and guns. This could weli be true or could be entirely false so
far as the ability of this writer,to judge is concerned for he is
not familiar with prices in general.
However, if it is true the mer
chants are making an effort
to hide their sins through some
programs of the Auburn Cham­ber
of Commerce to achieve , a
better understanding and relation­ship,
, between i the., studepts. and
merchants,. This writer feeis the
plans which have been definitely
made and,,,the
ideas for possi­ble
future de­velopments

good whatever
the motivating
cause may be.
The concrete
p l a n at, the
present t i n\ ^
was described
by Mrs. Ruby
Moop, chairman
of the public re­lations
committee.Of the Chaipber
of Commerce. Students and facul­ty
representatives are to be select­ed
to attend Commerce meetings
regularly to present, the view of
the students-and faculty..,;to...the
merchants. This is believed to be
the first time that students and
townspeople will have ever held
regularly planned meetings at
which they could attempt to solve
Jennings
problems common to both groups.
Complete details of the plan
have not yet been worked out, but
representatives., of. student goyern-mantj
The Plainsman, the interfra-ternity
Council, and the Auburn
Independent Organization would-beufincluded

representatives from various
schools on th,e campus. It is the
opinion, of Mrs.., Moqn, that the
point of view held by these rep­resentatives,
.especially; the student
representatives, wo,uld go a long
way toward influencing decisions
made by the group in regard to
problems ..with wbich,,,sfudents
were concerned. No students are
to .be. selected as. representatives
until, after the campus elections.
Under such a set-up students

Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
-On Monday afternoon, March
26, at,about 5:45 p.m., I witnesesd
one of the most disgusting affairs
I have ever seen. Six or seven
men (in body, if not in mind)
threw another very unwilling
young man into Prather's lake.
The fact that the temperature of
t^ie water was probably in the low
40s and that a severe epidemic
of influenza and pneumonia had
just been brought under control in
this community, did not seem to
matter to these strong, red-blood­ed
men. What good this feat of
daring did, I imagine they would
find hard to say. :
I.assume.this dunking was part
of some sort of initiation or pro­bably
fraternity discipline. If it
was,., then the obvious disregard
fpr the .dunkeels health lends cre­dence
to. much of the criticism
which has been directed toward
college life.
Since i was not the dunkee, and
until I am called upon as a wit­ness,
I don't propose to go into
the. matter further. However,, any­one
.wishing to do so may check
these license numbers — N. C.
324548 and Florida 317127—since
cars bearing these numbers trans­ported
the participants.
Name Withheld
ijome settled both in the school
and., in. the. town.. This would be
done primarily through informa­tion
provided, for the, students
about the school and town. Pub­lishing
informational pamphlets
and distributing them is an ex­ample
of one method that could
be used to. accomplish this pur­pose.
In,the interview with Mrs.
Moon possible cooperation with
student government in distributing
the information gathered in. the
housing registration was mention­ed
briefly.
A second long range idea is that
of attempting to get industries to
locate at Auburn that could use
part-time and co-op college stur
dents for a large percentage of
their labor supply. The advantages'
that this would,, present for stu­dents
who need part-time work
are obvious, as are the benefits
that the merchants would gain
from such industries.
Some of these .ideas and plans,
all of which seem assured of be­ing
approved by the Chamber of
Commerce if. they have pot, been
yet, could possibly be based on
selfish business interests on the
part of the merchants, and per­haps
are. Yet even if they are all
of the plans and ideas benefit the
students without harming them.
It is quite possible even that
part of the motivating force be­hind
the .planning, was a genuine
interest ,in, tbe studepts of the
school. Thirty to 40 per cent, of
the Auburn merchants at present
are former Auburn students who
graduated since 1938. Perhaps
{hey have not forgotten their col­lege
days.

More and More By Gene "Moose" Moore
It was my good fortune last
week end to be on hand for the
annual Dead Fish Dance of the
Printaz Inca natives. My innate-modesty
prevents my boasting, but
I am one of the few white men
who have witnessed the orgy and
lived to tell it. In fact, I reckon
I'm about the best I ever seen. But
on with the story: *
My palanquin, borne by. four
huge eunuchs, arrived at the little
village of El Fondo; in the copses
of Tierra Del Fuego, early on a
cloudy afternoon. It was the day
before the celebration was to com­mence,
but already kettles of mol­ten
lava combined with the broth
of a peculiar cervine jungle ani­mal—
this was the new extinct
saxophonus chilblainus, I learned
later—were bubbling bubbily in
the clearing which served as the
village square and trash disposal
area.
The many pairs of hostile eyes
which were glued on my perspir­ing
back as I stepped down.from
the litter were a portent of evil
things to befall the white man who
dared to enter El Fondo alone. I
quickly pulled the eyes from my
perspiring back ('sblood, but that
native glue is a narsty mess!) and
made fpr the hut of my Gallant
Host, Monseigneur Moribund.
The walls and roof of his dwell­ing
were made of slabs torn from
crates which formerly contained
an old malaria remedy called
Canadian Club. As I stepped
through the paling fence, I saw
the crusty features of my Gal­lant
Host outlined in the door­way.
"Buonga t'wharus!" he
bpomed, wilting my collar with
fumes definitely Ontarian in ori­gin.
"Buonga t'wharus," I echoed
glibly, mocking his quaint native
twang.as if I knew what he was
talking about.
Five minutes later we were sit­ting
in my Gallant Host's patio.
The rustle of palm fronds made a
pleasant chorus to the song of
falling snow, and I was fired to
inquire, ".Gallant Host, just where
did you get all this Canadian Club
tonic in such an out-of-the-way
dump as this?" "None of your
beeswax," he giggled coyly, break­ing
a bottle over my head. He clap­ped
his hands twice and a lovely
sarong-draped native princess en­tered,
supporting a tray filled with
mangoes, avocados and mulattoes.
My Gallant Host washed down a •
bite of the luscious fruit with
Canadian Club as he told me his
weird tales of the jungle. We sat
late into the night, while he cured
his malaria right and left.
The next day we got up with the
chickens; that is to say, we got up
when the chickens went to bed.
When we reached the square a
procession of wailing, chanting
aborigines was wending its way
over broken Canadian Club bot­tles
and through a thundering
bonfire. Eerie screams pierced
the clangor as the sun sank be­hind
an iceberg. My Gallant Host,
a cold sweat gushing from his
brow, chug-a-lugged a bottle of
malaria medicine.
Suddenly a half-nude figure de­tached
itself from the. crowd and
began hacking at the dancing
throngs with a. machete. He had
decapitated, perhaps two dozen of
his tribesmen when he was
brought down by a pellet. from
Moribund's derringer. "Poor de­vil,"
muttered my Gallant Host,
"he ran amuck." The native's body
was cut into two parts; half was
given. ,to the ...village dogs, who
wolfishly gulped it down; the other
half was given to the village #
wolves,. who doggedly gulped it
down. My, Gallant Host uncorked
another bottle of Canadian Club.
When . Jolly Fungus, the tribe
witch doctor, stepped into the
clearing everyone became imme­diately
silent. The very wind
ceased its howling and the still­ness
was deathlike. I coughed
nervously, and my lung fell out.
I stuffed it back in. Straining my
ears, I could hear the staccato
rhythm of a tomtom in the far
distance "Boom-ta-da-boom-ta-da-
boompity-b o o m," it rattled.
".Bring interpreter," Jolly Fungus
growled. The interpreter, a cower­ing
albino, was dragged to the
feet of the medicine man, who de­manded,
"What him say?" The in­terpreter
w h i n e d , "Him say
'Boom-ta-d a-boom-t a-d a-boom-pity-
boom!' "
At this .all the local lodge mem­bers
took out after my Gallant
Host and, even worse, me. Mori­bund
forgot his malaria long
enough to flee in terror. He was
still running when he got his
(may he rest in peace): he. (bless
his little red heart) was stabbed in
the trachea with a well-aimQd
olive fork. Thus my Gallant Host
became a Galloping Ghost.
As, for me, I leaped into my
palanquin, borne by four inebriat­ed
eunuchs, arfe was bully fortu­nate,
I dare say, to have gotten
away with my, senses, My litter-bearers
stopped- long enough to let
me dismount at Toomer's Corner
then trotted northward. Seemed
to be heading for some club up in
Canada. ...
'Engineer Has Grown Since 1926;
Once Defunct, Now Sports 24 Pages
By John Schermer
The many engineering students who enjoy technical art­icles,
features, alumni news, and campus humor sections
directed particularly to the amusement of t h o s e whose
interests lean toward engineering, will naturally turn to The
Auburn Engineer.
THE ENGINEERS' BOSWELL
Ever since W. A. Garret and
four staff members put some new
"innards" in an old typewriter,
gathered together articles on those
advances in the field of engineer­ing
which in 1926 were the ulti­mate,
and assimilated them into
the first issue of the magazine,
the Engineer has served to keep
"the slipstickmen" posted on the
goings on in the engineering world,
"fhat first issue carried a letter of
congratulations for a job well done
from Dr. Spright Dowell, then
president of the college.
During the depression advertis­ing
dropped to such a low that
the Engineer was forced to reduce
its size to four pages. Finally in
1933 the bread lines got so long
and finances so short that publica­tion
was discontinued, and not re­sumed
until 1948 when Ed Ash-meade
and Al Durrance dug up
the same old typewriter, chipped
in on a pencil from Toomer's and
started presses rolling again.-
It was not long before the offi­ces
in Ramsay Engineering Build­ing
were humming with activity.
It was not long in fact before the
Engineer was to receive nation­wide
recognition for the fine piece
of work on the cover of the No­vember
1949 issue. This cover de­picted
a cobweb-covered helmet;
grenade, and bayonet signifying
.man's long-.a waited return to
peace-time pursuits. In those days
the eye-catching covers were the
end product of the midnight oil-burning
efforts of Ira Humphrey
and Ben Connelly.
Editorship has this year been
placed in the capable hands of
Bill Wilson, a junior from Birm­ingham.
Bill Falkenberry* from
Selma serves as business manager,
and Clarence Grund from Mon­mouth,
Ore., is managing editor.
Under the guidance of the Engi­neering
Council, the Engineer has
grown into an up-to-date, inform­ative,
24-page magazine. Reports
and pictures from such corpora­tions
as Westinghouse, G.E., and
R.C.A. tend to stimulate an inter­est
in the vast amount of techni­cal
knowledge required by the
modern engineer.

FROSH ELIGIBLE SEPT. 1
For the first time since World
War II, freshmen will be able to
compete in Southeastern Confer­ence
varsity competition. This was
decided Saturday at Birmingham
when the SEC lawmakers agreed
to allow frosh participation begin­ning
September 1.
Say Coaches Bobby Dodd of
Georgia Tech and Wally Butts of
Georgia, "They won't help us
much this year."
Says Auburn's Snug Jordan,
"We will probably have to use
freshmen in some of our weaker
spots." Auburn tops the SEC
in freshman grant-in-aids with
over a 100.
Two first-year men likely to
see action next fall will be Quar­terback
Bob Freeman of Decatur
and Guard Buddy May of Win^
field. Both were named to most
of the All-State prep selections
last fall. Freeman is already at
Auburn and will probably see
some service in the A-day game,
May 5.
We Need Speed—Jordan
Talking to sportswriters in Bir­mingham,
Saturday, Coach Jordan
revealed the lack of speed to be
one of his big worries so far. Jor­dan
admitted it was too early for
the boys to have reached their
peak, but he still feared there
wouldn't be an over-abundance of
speed.
The new mentor feels his-backfield
to be the soundest spot
now despite an acknowledged
Dillion's Loose
Coach Wilbur Hutsell finally got
a chance to turn Jim Dillion loose
last Saturday and the big soph
discus sensation came through in
fine style. It was the first varsity
meet for Dillion, but his perform­ance
gives no indication that he
was unnerved.
The Florida Relays was the
event and Gainesville was the
place as Big Jim cast the discus
164 feet, 8% inches. This was still
a little under par for Dillion whose
practice heaves usually hit around
167 feet.
lack of speed.
"They seem to be well-fami­liarized
with the T-formation.
Fullback seems to be our weak­est
backfield point."
The freshman team had an un­usually
good crop of fullbacks
last year; so' maybe the gap can be
filled. Among the group was
Charles (Big Boy) Littles, Ala­bama's
most outstanding prepper
in 1949.
The discus record for the
Gainesville event is a little better
than 170 feet (exact figures aren't
available). Dillion could easily
better the 170-foot mark before
the conference meet at Birming­ham
this May.
The SEC discus record is 154
feet, 1% inches and was set by
Millard White of Tulahe in 1939.
In order for a new record to
enter the SEC books, it must be
accomplished at the conference
meet.
Rally Falls Short
As Tech Topples
Plainsmen, 11-9
A ninth inning Auburn rally
fell short Saturday as the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets halted a four
game Tiger winning streak with
an 11-9 victory.
Tech scored in every inning
but the fourth and the ninth and
pounded starter Gene Hoehle for
nine runs and 12 hits before he
was relieved in the sixth. Chap-pell
Rhino went the route for
the Engineers though he was
rapped for 15 hits.
Auburn had the tying run on
first base in the ninth inning, but
pinch hitter Harvey Camp was
called out on strikes to end tne
threat. ' The Tigers scored two
runs in the final frame after the
first two men had flied out.
Third Baseman . Bob Lusk led
the Tech batsmen with four hits
in five trips to the plate. Bob
McCoy homered for Tech in the
third with one on, and Auburn's
Bill Logan hit a three-run homer
in the seventh.

continued his hitting streak with
a triple and two singles in five
appearances.

Tiger Netmen Lose
Season's Opener
Coach Luther Young's Auburn
tennis team lost its first en­gagement
of the season Saturday,
6-3, to the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets.
The Jacket netmen swept five
of six single events, but Auburn
closed the gap by taking two of
the three double matches.
Dillion And The Shot Put
The SEC shop put champion­petition.
ship now appears to be endanger­ed
by the lengthy tosses of Discus
James. Throwing the shot put at
Gainesville, Dillion pushed the
sphere 48 feet, '7 inches. This mark
was only one inch behind the
winner, Carl Shields of Alabama.
Shields captured the conference
crown in the shot last spring with
49 feet, 6% inches. He has, how­ever,
better 50 feet in dual com-
Heretpfore Dillion had been un-r
interested in the heaviest of all
the weight events, but recent suc­cess
by him should incite his in­terest
and perhaps give Auburn
another good chance for a first
place in most or all of its meets
this spring.
Dillion will go against Shields
three more times this year. They
will vie at the Southern Relays
in Birmingham, April 14, at the
Tide-Tiger dual meet here,
April 21, and finally at the SEC
meet at Birmingham, May 18-
19.
The Baseball Team—Power Plus
The 1951 Auburn baseball team
might go down as one of the most
powerful of all Tiger nines. Their
29 runs against Mercer could have
set some kind of a school record.
Unfortunately there are no base­ball
records kept at the Field
House, but it's a cinch that few
teams will score 29 runs-in one
ball game.
This huge score represented
only two runs less than the Au­burn
football team scored points
during the entire 1951 season.
Only time will tell if the Au­burn
power was just a spurt or if
it was a definite show of batting
strength. Some conclusion can
probably be drawn when the team
returns from its four-game trip
through Louisiana.

Something New Every Day
Tiger Nine Pounds
Georgia Tech, 23-2
Auburn's hard-hitting Tigers
kept up their 20-run per game
average Friday as they pounded
three Georgia Tech pitchers for 17
hits and a 23-2 victory. Big Bill
Letchworth won his third game in
six days while limiting the Engi­neers
to eight scattered hits.
' Catcher Charlie Gilbert, who
had two home runs in his first
two appearances during Auburn's
29-22 win over Mercer Wednes­day,
turned in a similar feat
against the jackets. The Birming­ham
redhead opened the second
inning was a 400-foot blast over
the center field wall and came
back in the same inning with a
grand-slam wallop over the right
field barrier.
A two-run single in the third
brought his final runs-batted-in
total to seven. s
Letchworth aided his own cause
with the game's second four-run
homer in the fourth. The Plains­men
batted around in the second,
third and fourth innings, but
didn't score after that through
either the nifty hurling of Tech
reliefer Ronald Marchetti or
through their own weariness.
It was the fourth win for Au­burn
and their first in the S.E.C.

Tracksters Mee! Maroons Saturday
In First Home Contest Of Season
By Walter Albritton
Auburn fans will get their first chance to see the 1951
Tiger track team in action this Saturday when Coach Wilbur
Hutsell's sprinters and- muscle men meet Mississippi State in
t h e i r first dual meet of the season. The meet will be held in
Cliff Hare Stadium beginning at 1:30 p.m.
The student body and citizens
of Auburn have long awaited an
opportunity to see sophomore
Jim Dillion hurl the discus in
the SEC competition here on the
home field, and now comes the
chance.
Sharing the limelight with Dil­lion
as the feature attraction will
be the captain of the track team,
senior Jack DeMedicis, who will
defend his SEC title in the 120-
yard high hurdles.
Auburn's Dillion bettered the
southeastern Conference discus
nark by more than 10 feet in win­ning
at 164 feet, 8% inches, in the
Florida Relays last Saturday at
Gainesville. The 225-pound soph­omore
giant from Harpster, Ohio,
;asily hurled the disc past the
SEC record of 154 feet, 1% inches,
which was set by Millard White of
Tulane in 1939.
Dillion also threw his huge
frame into action as he came
within one inch of winning the
shotput event. Big Jim's throw
was 48 feet and 7 inches, just
shy of University of Alabama's
Carl Shield's winning mark of 48
feet and 8 inches. The Conference
record is 53 feet, 6V2 inches, set
in 1934 by Jack Torrance of
Louisiana State.
DeMedicis, Birmingham, won
first place in his specialty—the
120-yard high hurdles. The jump­ing
speedster's winning time was
15.8 seconds.
Duke University's highly potent
track team and individual star,
Henry Poss, put the Blue Devil
trademark on nearly every event
in the eighth annual relay meet.
Although he didn't set any new
records, Poss won two individual
awards.running the 100-yard dash

Baseball Team Goes To Louisiana
For Gaines With LSU and Tulane
By Kokomo McArdle
Having taken four of t h e i r first five games, Auburn's hard-l
i t t i ng baseball team moves this week to Louisiana for two
| a m e s with Tulane on Wednesday and Thursday and a p a i r of
lames with L.S.U. F r i d a y and Saturday.
With the Plainsmen will go a .364 t e am batting average.
Coach Dick McGowen's nine has
averaged barely under 18 runs
per game for five games and has
aanged out 83 hits, including 27
of the extra-base variety.
Last year the Tigers hit only
two home runs all season. This
year they have already connected
for eight, four of which have
come off the bat of Catcher Char­lie
Gilbert. Gilbert, playing his
fourth year of baseball at Au­burn,
currently leads the Tiger
hitters with a .539 average. Half

Auburn is in a six-way tie for
fourth place in the Southeastern

Conference standings, and teams es. He has given up 10 hits and
are so closely bunched in the
early season play that a sweep
of four games in the Bayou State
could move the Tigers into first
place. Conversely, four losses
would likely drop them to the
SEC cellar.
Big Bill Letchworth will prob­ably
get the nod to open against
the Greenies Wednesday. Letch­worth
won three games in six
days last week and will be look­ing
for his fourth against no loss-two
runs in 21 innings.
McGowen will counter with
George Hill on Thursday, use
Gene Hoehle for Friday's open­er
at Baton Rouge, then come
back with Letchworth in Satur­day's
final. Because of basket­ball,
George Hill has been late
in rounding into pitching form.
Hoehle has been inconsistent,
pitching hitless ball as a reliefer
against Birmingham - Southern,
giving up nine runs in Saturday's
loss Against Georgia Tech.
