Big Pep Rally,
Parade And Dance
Slated Tomorrow
Program To Start
At 7 Thursday Night
Behind Samford Hall
Plans are now being made to
hold the biggest pep rally of the
1950 season in Cliff Hare Stadium
tomorrow night. The rally will
start at 7 p. m. behind Samford
and a gigantic parade is planned
through town, and will end in the
stadium.
A "Beat Florida" dance will
be held in the student activities
building immediately following
the rally. The dance will last un­til
10 p. m. and music will be
furnished by the Auburn Knights.
There is no admission charge.
In announcing plans for the
rally Herman Blagg, head cheer­leader,
urged all students to take
part in the event. "We need to re­assure
Coach Brown and the foot­ball
team that we are backing
them all the way and the best
way to do this is through a gigan­tic
demonstration," Blagg stated.
Plans for the rally program in­clude
a presentation of the mem­bers
of the football team, Coach
Earl Brown, and President Ralph
Draughon. According to Blagg,
the rally must have full student
cooperation and we must get the
Tigers off to a good start for this
important game with Florida."
The parade will be led by the
Auburn Band and the cheerlea­ders.
Blagg urged students with
cars to join the group. Fraterni--
ties were asked to group their
members and pledges to join the
parade with torches, horns, and
all other pep rally devices.
At a meeting of the Interfrat-ernity
Council last night frater*
nity presidents were urged to
.encourage group participation in-the
"Beat Florida" rally.
In discussing the rally Blagg
said, "Last year Auburn started
on the road to a successful sea­son
when; they tied the Florida
Gators. We can send them off to
Gainesville in the right frame of
mind tomorrow night if we all
take part in the pep rally," he
concluded.

Plainsmen Meet Gators
In Gainesville Saturday
Each Team Out For First SEC Win;
Spirit of Auburn Squad Termed High
By Kokomo McArdle
Auburn meets its second conference opponent of t h e year
S a t u r d a y when Coach Earl Brown's Tigers face the Florida
Gators at Gainesville in a series t h a t dates back to 1912. In
t h e 27-game history of t h e teams' meetings, A u b u r n has won
14 and Florida 11 while 4 contests were ties.
Last year Florida was Auburn's
bounce-back game as the Tigers
outplayed the Gator eleven in a
14-14 deadlock at Mobile's Ladd
Stadium.
The Gators have wins over The
Citadel and Duquesne but bowed
to Georgia Tech last week in At­lanta,
16-13, on a late field goal
by Tech's Red Patton. Auburn and
Florida will each be out for its
first conference win in the Gator
Homecoming tilt.
Fans making the Gainesville
trek should be in for an outstand­ing
punting duel between Flori­da's
Fred Montsdeoca and Au­burn's
Jim McGowen. Montsdeo­ca
led the SEC in the booting de­partment
last year with a 41.6
average in 62 kicks. McGowen
thus far this year has averaged
42.6 for 16 kicks.
Haywood Sullivan, the 18-year
old 190-pound quarterback from
Dothan, will probably head the
Gator attack. Last week against
Tech he completed 10 for 21 to
bring a total aerial gain of 120
yards. For the entire season he
has a record of 31 completions in
57 attempts for better than a .500
average. His total passing yard­age
is 374 yards.
Auburn team spirit this week
has been termed the best of the
year as the Tigers added polish
to their running and passing at­tacks.
Tackles Breece Barley and
Harold Harris, backers-up Homer
Williams and John Crolla and
end David Ridgway were without
pads during the week's first
workouts, b u t the extent of
the player's injuries was undis­closed.
Though several changes may
result before Saturday, a likely
starting Auburn line-up is:
Ends, Tommy Edwards and
Fred Duart; tackles, Virgil Wil-lett
and Gene Mulhall; guards,
Tom Banks and Foots Bauer, cen­ter,
Bill Hogarth; quarterback,
Allan Parks or Bill Tucker; left
halfback, B o b b y Golden or
Dwight H i t t ; right halfback,
Johnny Wallis, and fullback, Jim
McGowenl

TEN YEARS AGO
ON THE PLAINS
(Editor's note: The following
notes of interest were taken from
The Plainsman issue of 10 years
ago this week and are reprinted
approximately as published then.)
Following last weekjs conquest
of Tulane, Auburn rolled in
among the 20 top grid teams of
the current season. The Tigers
now hold the 18th spot and are in
a position where victory (over
Missisippi State) at Legion Field
tomorrow should jump them into
the first 10 and throw the nation­al
spotlight directly toward the
Plains.

The United State Marine Band
played a splendid concert to an
audience of over 1500 people in
the auditorium of Graves Center
last night. The band was here un­der

For the first time in recent his­tory,
the student body of Auburn
will select the coed beauties for
the feature sections of the Glom-erata
for 1941, when the ODK-Glomerata

evening, Oct. 19. In previous

made the selection, but it was de­cided
by the sponsors to allow
the students the right to make
these choices.

Tests To Find Interests, Aptitudes
Offered By Student Guidance Center
By Gene Moore
- T h e Student Guidance Center, directed by William O.
Barrow, has issued a n - i n v i t a t i o n to all students, especially
freshmen, to make voluntary appointments for counseling
d u r i n g the early p a r t of t h e fall quarter.
One half of t h e e n t e r i n g freshmen will change courses one
or more times during four years
of college work, Barrow estimates,
but many of these will not realize
the need for counsel until proba­tion
comes. At the present time,
about one student out of every
three who receive advice from the
Center does so voluntarily. Since
the average student profits more
from voluntary counseling than
from required probation counsel­ing,
it is the aim of the Guidance
Center's staff to increase the ratio
of volunteers. The best time for
a student to take advantage of
the services offered is at the out­set
of his college career.
Using the college entrance ex­aminations
as a nucleus, the Cen­ter
is equipped to furnish a "bat­tery
of tests" to the interested or
needy student. These tests are de­signed
to measure his interests,
aptitudes and academic qualifi­cations.
A student may find by exam­ining
his interest pattern, obtained
as a result of the tests presented
by the Center, that his chief in­terests
do not lie in his chosen
field. If such is the case he may
consider entering a field shown
to be more suitable for his inter­ests.
Perhaps one enrolled in the de­partment
of electrical engineer­ing,
for example, finds through
the Guidance Center's examina­tions
that he lacks either a prop-
Orchestral Festival
To Be Held Here
The 1951 All-State High School

who ,play orchestral in­struments
will be held in con­junction
with the festival, an­nounced
Glyde, who is chairman

er background of mathematics or
the academic ability to cope with
the highly technical mathematics
courses ahead. He may wish to
transfer to a field emphasizing his
engineering interests but utiliz­ing
a lower level of'mathematics
ability, such as industrial man­agement
or sales engineering.
The tests may indicate a stu­dent
to be lacking aptitude for
his chosen profession, and they
can help him to overcome his
weaknesses or to find a course of
study for which he is better
adapted.
A number of freshmen, ex­plained
Barrow, do not know the
advantages and opportunities of
their chosen fields. To provide
information about various occu­pations,
and to help the doubtful
student determine his chances to
graduate in his selected vocation,
a reading room has been set up
at the Center, complete with facts
and statistics for a large number
of professions.
Students wishing counsel from
the Center should make arrange­ments
now, before the aggrega­tion
of probation students crowds
the schedule, advised Barrow.

"Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh." —Shakespeare
Rumor has it that Squires, sophomore
men's honorary, is again considering spon­soring
a drive to purchase chimes for in­stallation
in Samford Tower. As before,
we wholeheartedly oppose this move.
We congratulate this group of Squires
who, breaking the near-precedent set by
past members, appear to be conscientious­ly
going about fulfilling their mission as a
service organization. (We were proud to
see the sophs go all out during freshman
orientation and also to learn that they plan
to rejuvenate "Hey Day," once a popular
event on the Auburn campus.) However,
in this case we'd like to see this admirable
show of energy directed into some less
controversial and more generally benefi­cial
channel.
Since Religious Emphasis Week last
spring, much has been said pro and con
about the chimes proposal. Last year's
Squires, snatching at straws in search of a
project, snapped up the chimes idea and
even held a promotional dance. However,
the proceeds from the dance barely cover*
ed expenses and opposition to the proposal
dampened the group's already dimming
enthusiasm. Thus the project was laid
aside, waiting upon consideration by the
1950-51 class of Squires.
We hope that in considering the idea,
Squires will take into account the fact that
quite a number of Auburn students and
faculty members are opposed to the pro­posal
and therefore, installing the chimes
would be contrary to the Wishes of many.
Perhaps Squires wonders why we of
the opposition feel as we do and therefore
we'll state a few of our reasons. ,
We feel that chimes have as much place
at Auburn as a llama in a dog team. When
someone mentions chimes pealing out
across a campus, we immediately think of
an institution like Harvard, Yale, or even
a seminary, not of Auburn. Chimes are
o.k., yea appropo, on a campus where suit-clad,

Bad Day For Spirit
The old Auburn Spirit existed under
somewhat of a strain Saturday. We Were
proud to hear the "War Eagles" echoing
over the stadium throughout the game but
the green, receiving inspiration for intel­lectual
thought through scrutinization of
trees, ivy-covered halls, et al. However,
Auburn is not such an institution. Defin­itely
net, nor would we have it any other
way.
Auburn is a land-grant school attended
by plain folks: farmers, engineers, clerks,
etc. It goes without saying that, taken col­lectively,
we are not of the intelligentsia.
Rather, we are representatives of the la­boring
classes and have little time for the
non-practical type of thought typified by
the fore-described collegian. We are prac­tical
people; that is our element and we
intend to stay in it. Therefore we feel that
chimes are out of place here.
Also, we wonder what the choice of
music would be? Who would dictate the
the chimes' pealing policy? Would hymns
be the only selections played and when
Would they be played? These questions
and many others point out the uncertainty
arid doubt Which Cause us to have mis*
givings about the deal.
Finally, we'd prefer to see the efforts
of this active group of Squires be directed
toward a more constructive line. As a ser­vice
organization, Squires needs a project
but we feel that there are other ways of
serving; others which would have more
student body support.
Possibly, Squires might consider rais­ing
money for repairing the cement rail-
Ad Libbing &f Graham McTeer
Many a student has come to college and found that his re­ligious
faith has been shattered or at least shaken. These stu­dents
sometimes lose all conception of the word religion and
its true meaning in an individual's life. '
Perhaps this is as it should be, however. It Would be a poor
college OB university that did not
cause one to think about his be­liefs—
religious a n d otherwise.
Then, too, it would be a poor stu­dent
who could not learh new
things and acquire a broader vi­sion
about history, economics,
and chemistry
and still re­main
stagnant
in the realm
of r e 1 i g i on.
Being unset­tled
or having
doubt in one's
mind is a good
thing if it stirs
one to n ew
discoveries.
The predi­cament
w i th
most of us is that we do not and
are not willing to pass from the
kingdom of inherited religion
into the democracy of experien­ced
religion. It is much easier to
sit back and take someone else's
opinion than to go and find but
for ourselves. We're lazy.
Many of the so-called problems
in religion that students think
can only happen here also occnr
to everyday people. People out-
McTeer
ings around the quadrangle fish pond for,^ side of college have to face the
in all the flurry of construction, the col­lege
appears to have overlooked this ap­parent
need. Or, perhaps Squires might
solicit funds for the purpose of redecorat­ing
the atrocious looking lobby at Alumni
Hall. Either project would have complete
student support.
In conclusion, we ask that Squires give
serious consideration to what we have
said. Chimes, in their place, are fine but
Auburn isn't their place.
tion was rather loosely planned. Instead
of signing up regular members of the sec­tion
as was done last year, the pep commit*
tee planned to use two student sections to
same problems every day. The
difference is that we in college
are in a better position to dig
down and find out the why and
the wherefore of these things that
occur and cause doubt, and to
find out what the real truth is.
One of the main troubles with
college students is that they give
up the faith that they have with­out
finding something better.
Some students cannot find the
same satisfaction in believing in
God as they once did when they
were children. The same picture
of God does not present itself to
them now as it did when they
were in grade school a few years
ago. The error is that they are
trying to get peace of mind by
denying the existence of God.
A suggestion for Students who
have doubts about religion that
they did not have at home is this:
Do not give Up your faith until
you are sure that you have some­thing
better. Your hometown re­ligion
might have been inade­quate,
but it was at least so sin­cere
it changed human lives by
its sincereity. Dont become stag­nant.
Coming to college should
mean the moving out of one
house, the old one, and into an­other,
the new.
Geoffrey Birt, velly British
writer and columnist for the
Alabama Journal, made a return
visit to the Plains during orien­tation
week. This time, however,
he was labelled properly and did
not pose as a somewhat mature
freshman.
After several objective news-features
about happenings on
campus, Birt penned a column
headed "There on the Plains
They Like Dr. Draughon." It was
a well-presented piece, but had
an amusing error. Said he: "Dr.
Draughon wants new dormitories
for women students so that girls
now living in Alumni and Au­burn
Halls—originally occupied
by male students—can again be
available to men."
Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
"What became of the student
union building we were supposed
to get?" This question has been
asked by so many people around
t h e Plainsman office that I
started wondering about it, too.
Last year a Cabinet committee
organized a campaign that result­ed
in an overwhelming vote by
the student body in favor of rais­ing
the student activities fee to
help pay for a building of this
type.
At its June meeting, the Board
of Trustees approved this move,
arrangements were made for the
i s s u i n g of
bonds, and we
started paying
t h e increased
fee. As far as
most of us can

nothing e l se
has been done.

the union building, but we would
like to keep up with what is go­ing
on. We students feel that this
is our building because it was
largely through our efforts that
its ultimate attainment was made
possible. Periodic statements on
the progress of the union build­ing
would be deeply appreciated
by the student body. '

right to us. If we were from some school dent cooperation, this would have worked • v2*f? , n o , t r e a rO* IVlUraer,
other than Auburn, we probably wouldrrt
feel that we had any cause to gOmment but
after watching the team's apparent drow­siness
and the lack of cooperation eviden­ced
by students sitting in the placard sec­tion,
we feel that Saturday was a bad day
for the Spirit.
In the first place, it was a spiritless
Tiger Which took the field against under­manned
little Southeastern Louisiana Col­lege.
We doubt that anyone present will
deny that Auburn had the better team, but
we know that- what the underdog Lions
lacked in ability, they made up in spirit
and will-to-win.
The lack of ginger on the part of the
Tigers would be much more disheartening
to us than the defeat itself if we thought
that it was an indication of things to come.
(We do not).
It has often been Auburn's lot to lose
but it has always been a characteristic of
Tiger teams that, win or lose, their hearts
were in the game. Throughout the years,
Auburn has used this spirit to rise up and,
ignoring the odds, defeat a more power­ful,
but less willful team. It was something
quite new to see our Tigers relegated to
the role of the less-willful Saturday.
We cannot fathom the cause of the Tig­ers'
generally lackadaisical attitude but we
feel certain that We'll never again see it
displayed—it just isn't Auburnish.
In the second place, the placard section
was a miserable failure as lack of student
cooperation and poor planning combined
to create a confusing situation.
To begin with, membership in the sec-
Out but students refused to cooperate with
the directors of the section in on-the-spot
organization at the game.
According to plans, students sitting in
the upper rows of the two sections were to
move down and fill up the aisle between
the sections for the purpose of forming the
designs. However, When asked to move
down, these students flatly refused. Now
'things have come to a pretty pass when
Auburn men and Women, the most spirited
students in the nation, are unwilling to
lend a hand.
We don't know Why the Students refus­ed
to cooperate except that a few Were
overheard to say that they didn't even
know they were in the placard section.
Certainly, they should have been ac­quainted
with the fact when they bought
their tickets and if they weren't, then
someone else comes in for a share of the
blame. However, students, have said that
they wanted a placard section and there­fore
there was no excuse whatsoever for
the poor cooperation shown, tf we had the
names of the balky ones, we would print
them so their fellow students could see just
who doesn't know the score on the Auburn
Spirit.
Also, students were seen to sail the pla­cards
down onto the track and playing
field—certainly a poor exhibition for Au­burn
men. >.
These things must never happen again.
They are Contrary to the Auburn way of
life and are in opposition to everything
Auburn stands for.

Fat Baker Must Not Give Up*
t >
By Jimmy Everett
C O. (Fat) Baker, unsuccessful primary candidate for gov­ernor
(Georgia), has been indicted for murder in the death
of a man fatally injured When Baker's automobile collided
with another near here April 6--News item, Atlanta Journal.
I was greatly shocked to hear that Eat, my choice for gov*
ernor, was slightly injured in the wreck, but you know how
it is in Georgia—gubernatorial candidates Will do just any­thing
for publicity.
However, the family of the victim (evidently a Talmadge
man) for some' mysterious reason did not pre^
fer charges until after the election. The Ath­ens
state representative, who was puffing
around the state On his campaign tour When
the accident occurred, did not comment on
the charges—evidently awaiting the word
from Roy Harris, fixer.
Now I hope that Fat will not let this min*
or mishap threaten his future political career.
After all, he is ill touch with the common
man but just has the wrong approach.
Like William Jennings Bryan, Hoke
Smith, Auburn's football team, and freshmen who aspire to
paint the water tower, he shouldn't give up. It's an acknow­ledged
fact that should he become governor, no one could re­move
his bulk from the official chair and, too, he Could
replace Georgia's legendary two governors--pound for pound.
Residents of the Peach State possibly wouldn't boast of the
best governor in the United States, the most handsome or the
kissingest, but they certainly could point with pride to the
largest.
When certain un-something committees begin investigat­ing
Fat, as they inevitably will, I hope that some sympathi­zer
points out that Baker's car was possibly old and hard to
stop. After all, he has not yet been governor and, hence> has
not had the opportunity to appoint a State treasurer to his lik­ing,
the roads in his home county are still rough and danger­ous,
and he, as yet, does not have a patrol escort.
However, if Fat will just throw his weight in the right
direction, I am confident that he will soon be out of this
situation.
The other night a transfer stu­dent
from the University of Vir­ginia
asked me if I thought the
hohor system Would work at Au­burn.
I was embarrassed to have
to tell him that I didn't think it
would. What do you think?

First prize in a contest to trans­late
English into federal prose
went to Ellwood H. McClelland of
the Carnegie Library of Pitts­burgh.
He has translated "A roll­ing
stone gathers no moss" into
the type of language found in
government reports, and, for con­ciseness,
has held it to one sen­tence:
"A detached fragment of the
terrestrial lithosphere, whether of
igneous, sedimentary, or meta-morphie
origin, and whether ac­quiring
i t s approximation to
sphericity through hydralauic ac­tion
or other attrition, when con­tinuously
maintained in motion .
by reason of the instrumentality
of gravitational forces constantly
acting to lower its center of gra­vity,
thus resulting in a rotation­al
movement around its tempo­rary
axis and with its velocity
accelerated by any increase in
the angle of declivity, is, because
of abrasive action produced by
the incessant but irregular con­tact
between its periphery and
the contiguous terrain, effective­ly
prevented from accumulating
on its external surface any ap­preciable
modicum of the crypto-gamous
vegetation normally pro­pagated
in umbrageous situations
under optimum conditions of un-deviating
atmospheric humidity,
solar radiation, quiescence, and
comparative sequestration from
erosive agencies."
A splendid example of Feder-alese.
The one-ring circus wasn't
missing a whistle stop, on its road
through the tall uncut. It finally
pulled in for a day-and-night
stop at a crossroads settlement
deep in the hills. One old reve-noo'er-
chaser at the matinee per­formance
had eyes for none of
the featured attractions—he was
watching just one man, the slide
trombonist in the outfit's band.
He was back for the evening
performance, once more watching
nothing but the man playing that
band instrument. Finally, just as
the' last show was nearing its end,
he turned to his left-hand neigh­bor.
"Bound t' be a trick in it, dam­mit!
That air man cain't really
be swallerin' that air horn!"

for the nearest entrance, hoping
to retrieve it. He came back a

Dear Editor,
In the midst of all the wrang­ling
and "what's wrong-ing" about
Auburn's football team, I feel that
some mention should be made of
the band's fine showing during
the half-time period of the South­eastern
Louisiana game.
Perhaps especial praise should
be awarded to Mr. Dave Herbert,
the band director, and to the new
drum major, Cliff Sanford, but
the whole band deserves a lot of
credit for playing so well and
performing so intricately despite
the natural low spirits brought on
by a losing ball team.
And the best part of the per­formance
is that the band was
operating after only a few hours of
practice. They should improve as
the football season progresses. We
have a winning band, if nothing
else.
Sincerely,
Hazel Warren
Slowly but surely, Negroes are
getting closer and closer to their
goal of admission into every Sou­thern
university.
The University of Tennessee is
the last to allow entrance. Last
week, the Tennessee attorney gen­eral
predicted "strife and tur­moil"
after a ruling for which he
said he had no alternative." The
Negro seeking admission says he
will start law classes in Decem­ber.
The Tennessee decision is only
the last in a fast-growing string,
but it's the closest to home. Other
schools Which have been forced
to open their doors by the Su­preme
Court decision include Tex­as,
Oklahoma, and Missouri.
At Texas, a university official
says enrollment is sagging because
the Negroes in school are scaring
co-eds away.
In Georgia, Gov. Herman Tal­madge
says the United States
doesn't have enough troops to en­force
a court order for Negroes
and whites to sit in the same
classes.
Here at Alabama, the problem
hasn't come up, but eventually it
Will. Already, you hear reports
that Negroes are being urged by
various groups to apply. A Negro
applied for admission to the Au­burn
architectural school a couple
of years ago but the case has
since dropped from public view.
Why, we don't know-
(continued on page 8)
Each year about this time all the
little girls in my neighborhood go
even hawg wilder than usual. For
them "football season" is "ma­jorette
season," and those who
a month ago swore to support the
causes of cowgirl or nurses or
aviatrixes now decide that such
squares lead pretty dull lives in­deed,
compared with the glorious
pagehtry that is the life of the
one who leads the band.
Every female old enough to
toddle is accorded from her co­horts
the warm reception usually
reserved for lepers unless she
outfits herself with something to
twirl. 11 doesn't really matter
whether the twirlee is a gilt baton
or a mop handle, as long as it
is kept spinning, but only those
who can fling their scepters into
the air and catch them without
the interruption of a revolution
are regarded as proficient.
A few of the smoother-talking
wenches wheedle from their par­ents
a pair of tasselled white
boots, thus becoming for a time
the undisputed "head maj'rettes."
Before long, however, a combina­tion
of uncompromising parents
and inventive near-genius incites
the other little girls to devise
"boots" of cardboard cylinders.
Adorned with these wierd, flap­ping
puttees, they look to every­one
else like a tribe of Hopis imi­tating
dancing bears, but to
themselves they are the sole at­traction
for the cheering fans in
the grandstand.
Every afternoon as soon as
school is dismissed and a "Golly,
this is mm-good" (see advertise­ment
on page 73, Good House­keeping
magazine) peanut butter
a n d jelly sandwich crammed
down her little red gullet, every
potential majorette piles out in
full regalia for a persistent, if
unorganized, practice. The rest of
the day is spent in plain and fan­cy
prancing and dogged twirling
with or without the accompani­ment
of hummed martial music.
These practice sessions are of­ten
interrupted by marauding
bands of thigh-slapping boys,
each indignantly confident that
he is Roy Rogers astride Trigger,
who arrive with much clamor to
announce that all members of the
Young Ladies' Afternoon Baton-
Twirling Society are "covered" or
"jes' woonned" or even "dead,"
and do the victims of the dry-gulch
clutch at various parts of
their torso and "fall down," as,
commanded? Not on your life,
kiddo! They persevere with their
chosen profession, some so in­tent
upon the rehearsal of a new­ly-
learned exercise that they
don't bother even to cudgel the
disappointed ambushers w i th
their batons. And the cowpokes
are lucky if they get off so easily.
If they don't watch their bowleg-ged
step, their baseball bats will
be taken over by the majorettes
and regarded as cumbersome,-
though twirlable, batons.
All through kindergarten ahd
elementary school the girls spin
their infernal sticks, neyer taking
their eyes off the final goal' of
eventually reaching satin-drap­ed,
high-stepping majorettedom.
And then when they reach high
school, some make the grade. The
othprs again yearn to be cowgirls
or nurses or aviatrixes. And some
decide to try to be housewives.

A Sports Editorial
A dejected band of Plainsmen Were
straggling back to the Field House before
the Old Timer gathered up his- program,
Auburn pennant, cushion, and binoculars
and made his sullen way out of the East
Stand.
"Hullo, son," he feebly answered my
greeting. He trudged on, in silence, up the
dusty bank and across Drake Field. He was
hot alone. It was a strangely silent throng
that made its way from the Stands.
"They sure beat us, didnvt they, son?"
"The loyal Tiger fan gazed at his orange
and blue-stripped cravat as the urge to re­hash
the game overwhelmed him. He sat
down by the tackling pit and looked across
the practice field to the magnificent new
Hare Stadium.
"That sure is a mighty fine hunk of
stadium," he said. "I've watched many a
team play their hearts out down on that
field when yoii couldn't cram more than
five thousand folks in to see their Tiger
play. Yessir,' they've got 'em a place to
play now—a real high class stadium. But
my'boys didn't seem'to be playing like the
Tigers of old."
His half-masted pennant slipping from
his hands, the Old Timer set his jaw and
went on: "By" golly, those boys weren't
playin' for keeps. Shucks, son, I've seen it a
lot of times—and you have, too. You saw
Auburn teams put everyihg they had into
N« ball game. Tulane in 1935, Georgia in
1942, and Alabama in '49. Lots of folks
know about those, but I'm talking ab6ut
games when the Tigers made you proud to
yell 'War Eagle' even when the boys were
licked."
"Now, don't get me wrong, that little
Louisiana school had a fine team out there
today. They were determined to put up a
scrap—and they did. That little Lou Cam­pos
is a real ball player. He showed our
beys how to run an end when he went for
that TD. Manuel Dugas was a bruiser. I
watched that lad. He runs like a bull. And
that Lion line. Man, they had some hust­lers.
"I guess the boys figured they were
playing another Warm-up game," the Old
Timer y/ent on. "I kinda figured they'd not
do that again. And they made a lot of mis­takes.
You know, son, it looked for a while
like our boys were going t6 get" a few
breaks for a change. We recovered a fum­ble
right on our five in that first quarter—
and got a couple of good breaks on kicks—
but we never did cash in on them."
The Old Timer poked his already dusty
shoe in the sawdust and used his hands to
illustrate as he resumed his account of the
game: "You know, a football is the same as
it has been a long time. But our boys are
having an awful time holding it this year.
We fumbled and lost -four times again to­day.
Maybe all that passing around requir­ed
of this "T" system is the reason—but
then a lot of other teams are using the
same thing. No, the boys just aren't hug­ging
that pigskin to 'em."
"There wasn't much in the way of
brightness by the Tigers this afternoon. I
thought we might click'there in the fourth
period with Tucker's passes hitting. The
line started charging then and the whole
squad perked up. Foots Bauer, Homer
Williams, Jim Brooks, and Tom Banks
showed some of their old form at times,
but everybody was better on defense cause
the Lions were held to 87 yards rushing."
His eyes brightened a bit as he went on:
"We did complete nine of 17 passes and
didn't have any intercepted—that's an im­provement.
But we didn't score and we
didn't play four quarters like we had our
hearts in it."
"Say, that Jim McGowen was a stand­out
wasn't he? He sure got off some boom­ing
punts. And he ran well, too. That boy
didn't let a broken nose bother him one bit.
Why, he must've averaged around seven
yards a try for those four plunges of his.
His brother Dick used to do the same thing
—play hard all the way and kick that foot­ball
all over the lot. That boy was the lead­er
out there today."
"You know, son, my Tigers are mighty
low right now. They've got some fine mat­erial,
too. iVe seen Tigers lower and
they've bounced back—and those teams
didn't have the ball players this year's
squad claims. But there's a big difference
from my old teams. Those boys rallied
around something or other and played
their hearts out every Saturday just be­cause
they liked football and because they
liked Auburn."
It was near dark now and the Old Tim­er
arose and took a last look at the Stad­ium
and Drake Field. "Don't give 'em up,
son," he almost choked as he clasped my
hand to say his parting Words, "don't you
ever give up on my Tigers. They'll be back.
The ghosts of generations of great ball
players are,on this Drake Field and they;t,
all say the boys Will find themselves. Look
at 'em son, Moon Ducote, Jimmie Hitch­cock,
Monk Gafford, Tex Warrington, Wal­ter
Gilbert—and Travis Tidwell—those
boys never won 'em all."
"I'll see you in Gainesville," the Old
Timer concluded, "I haven't missed one
yet, and I'm not starting now."

Rett Writes Home
By Catherine Mitchell
Dear Margie,
As always, I have managed to
have quite a few adventures since
my arrival at Auburn. Some of
them I just must tell you about.
One thing that you find plenty
of at Auburn is lines. They're not
only the kind that you find in
plays or poems, but the impatient
kind that you find at book stores,
the confused kind at the Regis­trar's
office, the long, embarras­sed
kind at the infirmary waiting
to be examined, and the smooth,
polished kind given out by the
Auburn male population.
Then it took me a couple of
days to figure out the widespread
popularity of one Professor Staff.
On every schedule I saw, he was
the instructor of a different class.
i thought he must be the most
versatile man in existence to be
able to teach so many things!
That was before I discovered that
Staff meant that member of the
faculty who happened to be free
that hour would teach the class.
I would how compare favorably
with a four-gaited walking mare;
since I have developed about the
same number of Speeds for
reaching my various 'classes. At
lunch time, even Citation would­n't
stand a chance against my
super duper speed. . . . well, he
might have just a small chance.
Auburn is known as "The Love­liest
Village of the Plains;" nev­ertheless,
there are hills: Vet and
Ag. What I don't understand is
why upper classmen smile as they
point out Ag Hollow, the little
valley below Ag Kill, as being a
favorite shortcut. It might eVeh
save a lot of steps for poor, tired
feet after dark if there were any
lights.
Did you know that we rats are
the brightest students oh the cam­pus?
Yep, even an upperclasshian
Will tell you that, and I'm afraid
it isn't our I. Q. that is respon­sible
for this "hew look." It is our
colorful orange rat caps. Even
without them they say they can
spot us because we're as plain as
fresh, unbleached flour.
As other exciting things hap­pen,
I'll write you a few lines, but
right now, I must go stand in
one, myself.
Sincerely
An Auburn Rat
P. S. I really love being a
freshman.

It Shouldn't Happen To A Dog
Says Sterling Slappey, the old Auburn Alumnus presently writ­ing
Southeastern sports for the Associated Press, "Auburn failed
completely in its best chance to win this year. Little Southeastern
Louisiana stepped on one-time big-timer Auburn, 6-0, for One of the
most humiliating defeats a SEC team ever suffered."
In 10 months, from Dec. 3, 1949 to Oct. 7, 1950, Auburn fans
have seen their team fall from probably the most gratifying victory in
Auburn grid history (a 14-13 win over a good Alabama team) to
what an authoritative journalist and Auburn Alumnus has termed
the most humiliating defeat the conference has ever seen. Even the
loss of a great Travis Tidwell shouldn't make that much difference.
None of the Southeastern Conference sportswriters have come up
with an analysis of the Auburn situation. Of course, the job of an
analysis belongs to Coach Earl Brown. Brown said Sunday that lack
of confidence was the trouble.
He opined, "I think they are going to snap out of it. Right now
I've just got to lick that 'poor ol' Auburn' attitude."
DAVIS RUNS INTO TROUBLE
Remaining Games Rough
Auburn hasn't seen many years in which its slate displayed a
more formidable list of opponents. Vanderbilt, Clemson and Georgia
still are among the ranks of the undefeated. Alabama and Mississippi
State, though both once-beaten, have shown talent that they haven't
had in three or four years. Florida is said to be a much improved
outfit.
Only Georgia Tech and Tulane show no vast improvement over
last year, but neither team is likely to be routed by an SEC foe.
Many SEC writers have gone so far as to say that the Tigers will
experience their first winless season since the dark days of 1927. It'll
be rough.
What They're Saying About Auburn
Guy Tiller, Sportswriter, Atlanta Journal:
"Auburn, despite its poor showing, is in a position to spring a
startling upset—such as the 27-13 victory over Georgia in 1942 or the
unbelieveable 14-13 triumph over 'Alabama last season."
Jack Jackson, Sportswriter, Atlanta Constitution:
"Not since 1927 has.an Auburn.football team played a full sche­dule
without a victory. But barring unforseen developments, the cur­rent
crew down at the Plains seems destined to do just that."
Furman Bisher, Sports Editor, Atlanta Constitution:
"Butts and Dodd can fret over quarterbacks, but the man w i th the
championship fret is Earl Brown down the pike at Auburn. Three
times out, three defeats and two by minor league Wofford and South­eastern
Louisiana has left the War Eagle shivering in its tail feathers."
GREATER AUBURN BAND
THE AUBURN BAND forms a huge Liberty Bell during half-
_time ceremonies at the Auburn-Southeastern Louisiana game in
Cliff-Hare Stadium Saturday, Oct.i7. Theme of the band show was
"Uncle Sam in Revue—A Pagent of American History."
Oldest Band Of Southern Colleges
Established In 1899 With One Horn
By Jim Jennings
A quick glance through the years shows that the Auburn
band has a long and proud history.
The band was established in 1899 as a cadet band, under
the direction of Thomas N. Fullan giving it the distinction of
being the oldest college band in the South. The first few
years were not easy for the band. . ,
group received several honors.
They played for the King and
Queen of England in Trafalgar
Square, London. After cessation
of hostilities, the Auburn Band
had the honor of being the first
American band to enter Berlin.
The group proudly and trium­phantly
broke out with "War
Eagle," the stirring fight song of
the college.
Bidez Directs
After returning to the United
States Bidez became the director
of the band in 1922 and still holds
that position. Professor Thomas
still is a familiar figure on the
Auburn campus and is a mechani­cal
drawing instructor. Mr. Ful­lan,
the original director, is now
living in Pensacola, Fla.
The Auburn Band played its
third presidential performance on
the Auburn campus when Frank­lin
D. Roosevelt attended the ded­ication
of the quadrange.
The band began playing for
football games soon after it was
formed. They played at the half-time
performance of the Orange
Bowl game in Miami Jan. 1, 1933,
when Auburn played Michigan
State.
David Herbert of Carleton Col­lege,
Northfield, Minn., who did
graduate work at L. S. U., be­came
assistant band director in
1948. Under his leadership the
band has shown great develop­ment.
I A band constitution was drafted
in 1948, making the band a self-ruling
body in such matters as
electing officers and selecting
honors that band members might
receive. That year the band was
increased from a student group
of 80 to well over 100 members.
Also in 1948 the band presented
perhaps its greatest football show
in history at the Alabama game in
which the Auburn football squad
suffered a bitter 55-0 defeat.
Plays At Inaugural
The Auburn Band, then known
as the Greater Auburn Band re­placing
the time-honored title
When it was established the
school owned only one instru­ment,
affectionately known as
"Betsy." This was a tenor horn.
The prospective bandsmen took
turns practicing on Betsy until
the instruments that had been
ordered arrived after about six
months. Even then there were
not enough instruments and the
' band students paid $1 each semes­ter
to be used for buying instru­ments.
Official band records for 1904-
1905 state that band work had
been excellent and the prospects
for the next year were good. The
records go on to state that one
instrument had been bought that
year after almost three month;, of
begging and only then after the
old instrument had fallen apart.
Despite this hard beginning,
the band thrived and grew. In
1906 Albert (Suzie) Thomas re­placed
Mr. Fullan as director of
the band and continued to wield
the baton until 1922.
" " \ Perform For President
While standing on bails of cot­ton
at a railroad platform in Tus-kegee
in 1902, the band played
their first performance for a
president of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt, who was
making a tour of the South. The
next presidential performance
came in Mobile when Woodrow
Wilson attended the first Pan-
American Congress meeting in the
South.
For 13 years, from 1905 until
1918, the Auburn band was the
official Mardi Gras band in Mo­bile,
and for a number of years
was the official band of the
Fourth Alabama Regiment, which
server! .along the Mexican border
when the United States and Mexi­co
were having trouble.
During World War I a large
portion of the band went to Eu­rope
intact and served under the
direction of Paul Rubens (Bedie)
Bidez as the 167th Rainbow In­fantry
band. While in Europe this

Evans Gives Rules
For Touch Football
By Bunny Honnicker
Rules regarding touch foot­ball
for the fall quarter have
been released by Coach Bob
Evans, head of the intramural
sports department.
The football schedule will be
placed on the bulletin board in
Alumni Gym. An attempt should
be made to play all games re­gardless
of the weather; no rain­ed
out or called-off game will be
replayed due to the lack of ne­cessary
facilities and time.
Teams should be on the field
and ready to play at 4 p.m.;
games started later than this will
probably be ended by darkness.
In order that a double round
robin can be.played in both lea­gues,
it was necessary to schedule
some games on Monday; it was
also necessary to schedule league
games on different fields.
A new handbook on intramural
sports has been released, and all
rules concerning eligibility are in
this book. "The responsibility of
playing eligible men rests entire­ly
with the manager of the team.
Games scheduled for today
through Tuesday are:
October 11—OTS-AP, Field I.
October 12—TC-KS, Field I;
PKP-SN, Field II; PKA-LCA,
Field III; SPE-AP, Field IV
October 16—SAE-KS, Field I
October 17—DSP-SN, Field I;
ATO-LCA, Field II; SC-PKA,
Field III; PDT-PKP, Field IV.
of the Auburn Military Band, was
invited to Washington, D. C, to
play in the inaugural parade of
President Harry S. Truman. The
Greater Auburn Band had all ex­penses
paid on this trip and was
in Washington along with the
University of Alabama "Million
Dollar" group.
On the day of the 1949 Auburn
Mississippi State, the Greater
Auburn Band inaugurated a Band
Alumni Association. This is the
only such college band organi­zation
in the South and one of the
few in the nation.
The Auburn Band has had a
great past. The Greater Auburn
Band is looking forward to an
even greater future and recogni­tion
as one of the outstanding col­lege
bands in the South.

Dazed Auburn Upset By SL(, 6-0;
Campos Makes 28-Yard Victory Run
By Kokcmo McArdlef
The only "Glory" Auburn knew Saturlay came from the
almost satirical strains of the Auburn bap a s a dazed, emo-tidnless
Tiger football team fell for thii third consecutive
week. This time it was to Southeastern Ltiisiana College, 6-0.
From the opening kickoff it was evifent that the Tigers
were to spend another Saturday
tuscaloosa Schedules }HUMPHREY TIBURZI
in the cage. Thsy reached S.L.C.
territory only twice though they
had a 57-yard passing advantage
anil bettered the Lions' ground
gafne by 27 mote. Other than their
shining orange pants, the only
Tiger bright spot was the kicking
performance of Captain Jim Mc-
Gdwen. The Auburn punting
aVerage, including one kick by
halfback Bobby Golden, was 43.9.
S.L.C. scored the game's only
touchdown 5 V* minutes after the
second half had begun. It was set
up after Bill Yeager recovered an
Auburn fumble at the Tiger 34.
From there the Lions roared over
in four plays.
Lou Campos ran 9 to the 25 and
after two unsuccessful tackle
stabs, Campos took over again
and darted 28 yards for the score.
Dwight Hitt caught him at the
goal, but the 153-pound halfback
wouldn't be denied as" he feil into
the end zone. Manuel Dugas' PAT
was wide to the left.
Auburn made a terrific goal
line stand in the second quarter
after left end Noel Wilkins r e ­covered
another Tiger fumble at
the 16. Dugas ran 6 yards to the
l6, and Campos followed with 6
more to the 4. Dugas -had three
more and the ball was at the one-yard
line. On second down, back-er-
up Homer Williams stopped
Dugas for no gain. Ridley Boud-reaux
failed to gain, and with
fourth and one, tackle Breece
Barley hit Joe Johnson at the
four, where he fumbled, allowing
Auburn to take over.
An S.L.C. fumble on its own
20-yard line gave Auburn its big­gest
opportunity in the second
pteriod. Tucker made two; then
lost three and, trying to find a
jiass receiver, lost eight more. Pn
last down Tucker, still hunting a
receiver, was forced to run but
could get only 10 yards. The Lions
tbok over and the half ended
shortly thereafter.
Quarterbacks Bill Tucker and
Allan Parks had better than mild
success with their passes, but
most of the aerial gains were
deep in Auburn territory. Tucker
completed 6 for 13 totalling 62
yards, and Parks had 20 yards
completing 2 for 3. Both passers
were rushid savagely except in
the final period, when the line
did afford some protection.

COACH EARL BROWN
Auburn Head Coach Was All-Artierican
In Football, Basketball At Notre Dame
By Bill BeckwitH
Few coaches in the Southeastern Conference want Earl
Brown's job as head coach of the Auburn Tigers, especially
since the Plainsmen have lost three straight ball games. Yet
one can look back to December 3, 1949, when Brown carried
an underdog Tiger team to Birmingham, defeated Alabama
14-13, and was acclaimed the
greatest of all the Auburn coaches.
Earl Brown was born in Bentori
Harbor, Mich.", October 23, 1915.
His uncanny ability on the bas­ketball
court won him a scholar­ship
to Notre Dame, but upon his
arrival, he decided to try out for
the Notre Dame football team.
Not only did he make the squad,
but he was put on a football
scholarship.
By the time Brown graduated
from Notre Dame, he had emerged
as an All-American in football
and basketball, something few in­dividuals
have ever accomplished.
His end play for the Mighty Irish
was so outstanding that he was
chosen to play in the annual Chi­cago
Tribune All-Star game in
1939, and he starred against the
New York Giants. His individual
play in that game drew him the
second highest number of votes
as the outstanding player of the
day.
He was immediately offered
contracts by professional football
teams but turned them down for
an assistant's job at Brown Uni­versity.
After two years at Brown,
he accepted a position at Harvard
as end coach and varsity cage
tutor. When Harvard dropped
sports because Of the war. Brown
went to Dartmouth, in i943, as
head football coach. His first team
there won six games with his lone
defeat being to Pennsylvania by
a 7-6 score.
* He made a-name at Dartmouth
filso for his basketball team's out­standing
record of 18 victories out
of 19 encounters. His team went
on to the NCAA finals, only to
drop and overtime 1-point deci­sion
to Utah.
Brown entered the Merchant
Marine as a boot in March, 1944,
and after sea duty was commis­sioned
as Lt. (jg). He then head­ed
the first intercollegiate athlet­ic
program in the Merchant Ma­rine
Academy's history.
Upon his discharge, he accepted
the position as varsity coach of
Cootball and basketball at Canis-ius
College, in Buffalo, N. Y.
While attending a coaches'
meeting in New York City tb
strengthen Canisius' f o o t b a ll
schedule, he was interviewed by
Auburn officials barely five
minutes before Me was to catch
a plane for Buffalo.
Brown accepted the head foot­ball
mentor's job at .Auburn in
January, 194S, replacing C a r l
Voyles. His 1948-eleven won one,
lost eight, and tied one. The 55-0
shelling Alabama gave Auburn
that year caused him headaches,
but people knew that Auburn
didn't have the material that the
other teams possessed, so Earl
Brown's only distinction was the
fact that he was one of the
youngest head coaches in the na­tion.
By 1949, Brown knew he had a
possible All-American in Trav':r>
Tidwell, so he changed his deep
single-wing and unbalanced T Of
1948, to an exclusive balanced T
formation. A f te r Mississippi
stomped the Tigers 40-7, Brown
knew he would have to produce,
so he began switching positions
and installed a new attack.
The following Saturday, Brown
sent a spirited team onto the field
and tied the highly respected Ga­tors
14-14. For this accomplish­ment,
he was named as the "Coach
of the Week." After this moral
victory, Brown's boys went on to
scare Georgia Tech, Tulane and
Vanderbilt half to death.
The second victory of his Au­burn
coaching career came on
Homecoming, when Travis Tid­well
passed and ran the Plains­men
to a 25-6 victory over Missis­sippi
State. Brown's scheming and
planning brought fruit the follow­ing
Saturday, when he desgined
the gambling - pass - play that
broke the Bulldog's back. On the
first play from scrimmage, Tid­well
hit Erskine Russell for a
touchdown.
Next came the tie with Clem-son,
and the defeat of Alabama.
The Alabama victory brought
wide acclaim for Brown and Au­burn.
People were predicting

Jim Jennings, Review club

much sounder financial basis
than it has been in the past will
be discussed. If the plans are ac­cepted,
the Auburn Review will
be assured of being able to take
its place as a regular school pub­lication,
concluded Jennings.
great things for the Tigers, but
little did they realize that Brown
had lost his ace quarterback
Travis Tidwell, and his entire of­fensive
line.
TOday, students and fans are
asking, "What's the matter with
our Tigers? Is it the coaching, or
is it lack of the material?" Few
peoplei know the answer, but
everywhere students gather, one
can hear the discussion of Auburn
football.
When a coach is winning, he's
great, but when his team is losing,
his name is mud. This is what
Brown is having to cope with.
Mrs. Brown will tell you how it
feels to be the wife of a football
coach, and she will also tell you
What Earl Brown is going through
how, as he is trying to find out
what's wrong with his Auburn
Tigers.

Crusade For Freedom Is Campaign
To Blast Communistic Propaganda
I believe in the sacredness and dignity of the individual.
I believe that all men derive the right to freedom equally from
God.
I pledge to resist aggression and tyranny wherever they appear
on earth.
These are the words found in
the Declaration of Freedom on
the Freedom Scroll which is cir­culating
the nation in the giant
Crusade for Freedom—a cam­paign
of truth to blast false com­munistic
propaganda and to de­monstrate
before the world the
true aims of freedom and friend­ship
of all peoples.
The Crusade is sponsored by
the National Committee for a
Free Europe, Inc., an organiza­tion
formed to give aid to exiled
leaders from the prisoner coun­tries
of Eastern Europe, and to
set up new broadcasting facilities
in Western Germany—Radio Free
Europe—to carry -the voices of
these leaders, with the story of
freedom, back to their own peo­ples
behind the Iron Curtain.
On this committee are such
men as General Eisenhower, for­mer
Ambassador Crew, Senator
Lehman, Jim Farley, Adolph
Berle and many other leaders.
The primary objective in de­veloping
the Crusade has been to
give every man, woman and child
in the United States an oppor­tunity
to sign the Freedom Scroll
affirming their belief as free
Americans i n t h e " g h t oi a11 m e n
to freedom. Contributions are
also being sought in the cam­paign.
While contributions are
not obligatory, nickels, dimes,
quarters and dollars will help
build and maintain the stations of
Radio Free Europe.
t h e name and address of every
individual who enlists in the
campaign will be taken to Berlin
for the dedication ceremonies.
The symbol of the Crusade is
a great new Freedom Bell bear­ing
the inscription, "That this
world, under God, shall have a
new birth of freedom," a para­phrase
of Lincoln's words at Get­tysburg.
The bell will be install­ed
in Berlin as a permanent
memorial to all the men and wo­men
who are giving their lives in
the struggle for human freedom.
Contributions received f r om
the Crusade will be used to sup­port
Radio Free Europe.
Radio F r e e Europe began
broadcasting from a transmitter
near Frankfort, Germany, on
July 14 of this year. It is now
broadcasting six hours a day,
seven days a week with native
language broadcasts in Czechos-lavakian,
Hungarian, Romanian,
Polish and Bulgarian.
Its purpose is to fight back
against vicious communist propa­ganda,
to get the truth behind the
Iron Curtain. It tells the captive
peoples the truth about what is
going on in their own countries,
things their puppet governments
are afraid to talk about. It utili­zes
the voices of the exiled lead­ers
from these countries speaking
back into their own homelands.
The importance of this pro­gram
is further emphasized by
the fact that the communists are
trying hard to make people think
the United States started the Ko­rean
War and that this is a coun-

Crusade For Freedom
FREEDOM Bell, symbol of CRU­SADE
FOR FREEDOM, cast
in solid bronze, weighs 10 tons,
stands nine feet high, measures 98
inches in diameter. In bas-relief, five
figures represent the major races of
man. On Oct. 24, United Nations
Day, Freedom Bell will be installed
behind the Iron Curtain in the West­ern
Sector of Berlin, and will peal
out daily thereafter the message of
freedom to the world. Enshrined in
its base will be signatures of millions
of Americans who have signed the
Declaration of Freedom.

out to conquer the world.
C o l l e g e s a n d universities
throughout the country are being
asked to give all out support to
the Crusade for Freedom. Plans
are being made for the program
to reach the Auburn campus in
conjunction with the Lee County
Crusade. It is expected that stu­dents
and faculty members will
heartily accept and contribute to
the success of this mission.

Guest Editorial
(Continued from page 4)
Some day, probably not too far
off, a Negro will send a letter
of application for admission to
the university. There will be a
great hue and cry from the legis­lature,
the trustees, the adminis­tration,
the public, the students.
The hue and cry will be na­tural,
and is to be expected. But
eventually the Negro will be ad­mitted,
just as he is being admit­ted
to schools all over the South.
You can hardly argue with the
Supreme Court.
There may be trouble, although
we doubt it. You hear remarks
like, "A Negro wouldn't last four
hours at Bama." Which, of course,
is hogwash.
Actually we fail to see what
would be so terrible about having
a Negro sitting in the same room
listening to the same professor as
white students.
We Southerners think nothing
of riding the same buses or shop­ping
in the same stores. We doubt
if the violent proponents of seg­regation
leave the room when a
Negro janitor comes in to sweep.
We don't think students will
have to leave the room when a
Negro student comes in to learn.
And like it or not, we might as
well get ready. They're on their
way.

Gl Regulations
(Continued from page 1) j
ber 6, 1945. Therefore, a veteran
otherwise eligible must have com- !
menced and actually be pursuing
his course of education or train­ing
on July 25, 1951, or the date
four years after discharge, which­ever
is later, except where his at­tendance
is interrupted because of
the normal interruptions for sum­mer
vacations, or other reasons
beyond the control of the control
of the veteran.
"(C) A course of education or
training shall consist of such cur­riculum,
program of study or
training, or combination of sub­jects
as are prescribed by the in­stitution
a s constituting t he
course. When the veteran elects
his course of education or train­ing,
is accepted by the approved
education or training institution
as qualified to undertake and pur­sue
the elected course, and com­mences
such course, he shall pur­sue
his course of education or
training continuously until com­pletion,
except for conditions
which normally would cause in­terruption
by any student.
"(D) A veteran may change
his course of education or train­ing
only while in training and
then for reasons satisfactory to
the Administrator. A change of
one or more subjects in the elect­ed
curriculum or program of
training, including the dropping
of a subject without replacing it
with another, or the adding of a
subject, or a change in the se­quence
in which the subjects are
undertaken does not constitute a
change of course of education or
training. Advancement from a
basic or preparatory phase to an
advanced phase within the course
of education or training which the
veteran is pursuing does not con­stitute
a change of course.
"(E) A change of course of edu­cation
or training may be consid­ered
to be for satisfactory reasons
when:
"(1) The veteran is not making
satisfactory progress in his pres­ent
course and the failure is not
due to his own misconduct, his
own neglect, or his own lack of
application; or
"(2) The course to which the
veteran desires to change is more
in keeping with his aptitude, pre­vious
education, framing, or other
such pertinent facts; or '
"(3) A course to which the vet­eran
desires to change, while not
a part of the course currently pur­sued
by him, is a normal progres­sion
from said course and will en­able
him to attain his educational
or vocational objective.
No additional changes of courses
of education or training will be
approved except for the most
cogent reasons.
"(F) When the veteran com­pletes
his course of education or
training as defined above or dis­continues
his elected course of
education or training, the law does
not permit the initiation of anoth­er
course of education or training."
