But much more important, they give the world's best telephone service all yeai round. As the Bell System continues its growth, new and even more amazing machines are being created. And along with this growth is the need for college men with the right qualifications for work and opportunity in a variety of fields-in engineering, research, operating and administration. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM Micafiou Vs. Politics.. / As the deadline for volume 78, number "29 drew near, we found it hard to steer Sway from a sentimental swan sOng in this last editorial of our college careers. Typical of most swan songs is the expression of 'feelings 'for staff members. We, too, would like to tell the staff how great the past year has been. We'd like to reminisce, offer advice and thank them. But to the majority of Plainsman readers, this would be meaningless. Only a Plainsman staffer can understand the spirit and friendship that is prevalent in the one-room office on Tichenor Avenue. Instead we'd like to write about Auburn, an institution we've watched grow in the past four years. We've seen it struggle with problems ranging from local situations to state-wide conflicts. We've witnessed a building boom unprecedented before in the history of the college. We've watched Auburn grow to be the largest university in the state. And we've developed great admiration for its president, leaders, faculty, and students. The first thing that impressed us fotfr years ago When we arrived in Auburn was ;the great respect on the Plains for the institution's many traditions. We have noticed the mark that the four-year experience leaves on each graduate. An Auburn student always remains an Auburn man, a fact that is noticed enviously by other colleges. Call it a mark of the Auburn spirit if you like. We have admired the actions of the student body—attitudes that have been devoid of the unrest and Uprising on other college campuses. Students, in the past four years, have planned a union building ' which begins its growth this month. They have shown concern for fellow students in campus religious, social, and student government circles. Our primary interest in Auburn, however, has been as an educational institution serving Alabama and the South. In past years leaders of Auburn have fought a constant battle to ' free the institution ffofnf political influence, to separate education and'politics. The task has not yet been accomplished. Recent rumors have been reported by state political columnists concerning Auburn and the education-politics issue. They indicated that hopeful gubernatorial candidates would remove Dr. Draughon and use the presidency of Auburn for political gain. We hope the rumors are untrue. Such activity has no place on any college campus. And yet numerous cases of political influence in our nation's colleges appear each year. Educational progress at the Universities of'Georgia and Mississippi, and Louisiana State University has been hampered recently by the infringement of the universities' educational rights. Yet very few citizens are cognizant of the fact. Very few reporters dare mention it in statewide columns. Auburn has grown more, physically and as an educational institution, during the term of Dr. Draughon's presidency than ever before in the history of the college. He has fought unceasingly for Auburn, and Auburn alone. He has guided the institution through athletic upsets, appropriation difficulties, and growing pains. He is an educator, not a politician. And Auburn should always have such a man at its helm. Yet certain men in the state would . . . Ah Auburn Problem scuttle the true 'purpose of the institution. They would place individual gain over the educational benefits to the future leaders of the state. They would welcome thfe attempt to hold Auburn in their palms and manipulate its publicity, extension service, and state-wide contacts. / The fate of Auburn lies in the hands of the Board of Trustees. We hope the Board soon counteracts the rumors that were recently publicized in the state's newspapers. Until individuals seeking political gain realize that Auburn functions solely to serve Alabama and neighboring states, the institution will not progress to its full potentialities. It will be shackled and dragged from the educational path. The real purpose of Auburn is research, extension, and instruction. It is a purpose that is given little thought by students and citizens of the state, and yet, they receive benefits daily from the institution. Research at Auburn was rejuvenated only this year with the appointment of Dr. •R. G. Sturm as director. He has mapped out a program for Auburn that will test ^the scientific and creative abilities of 'our :facuity and graduate students. They will, with appropriations from sponsoring businesses, work on problems that have direct bearing on the future of Our nation. Their woVk will :be a credit to the institution. Research work'is also conducted by the institution with no sponsoring body. Results from ;this work are funnelled to Alaba- •mians 'through the A.P.I, extension service. Basically an agricultural state, Alabama has depended \ on Auburn's extension service for experimental data, and the institution has responded. Better farm practices have increased the standard of living of scores of citizens through actual operations under the guidance of county agents. All this is as much a part of Auburn as Samford Hall, War Eagle, and freshman English. It is all a part of Auburn's place in the South's future. Idealistic perhaps, but true. Instruction is more closely related to the students at Auburn. Although there are many improvements to be made in courses, faculty and texts, the college has slowly pulled its educational requirements to higher levels in the past years. New courses have been initiated, and new fields for graduate work have been opened. A larger staff of qualified instructors is growing daily in'this gradual improvement of educational standings. Auburn, in its 78 years of existence, has produced leaders in business, science, education, polities, and military affairs. Each graduate has carried from the Plains the blessings of the administration, instructors, and predecessors. Auburn Will continue to produce leaders in the future. It will be demanded of them in a progressive'South. They will regret leaving Auburn at first. The infectious spirit of the Loveliest Village is a strange and indescribable one. But their temporary loss will fade into respect and pride in the institution they left behind. Auburn is a great and growing institution. It will continue to become more prominent in the future. It will continue to give its work to the South and Alabama. It will remain the Loveliest Village to the hundreds that were infected with the Auburn Spirit. It will continue to direct students toward higher attainments.

" By Gene 'Moose' Moore These are the things I'll remember about Auburn. . . . The loud silence in the hall of a classroom building, as students earn the knowledge they came here for. . . . The friendly, warm genuineness and comradeship in which Auburn students associate with each other, the factor which does so much to keep her from the scandals and un New Personnel To Rule Plainsman After Old Staff Members Graduate By Jim Jennings This is my last regular column for The Plainsman. Lower classmen with fresh ideas and ambitions are moving up to replace Jim Everett, Gene Moore, and me on the editorial staff after we graduate at the end of the quarter. The three of us began our work on The Plainsman four years ago during the almost forgotten reign of editor Jack Simms. It would be impossible to express in a column the feeling I have toward those four years with the paper or the strong attachments that have developed between members of the staff. Nevertheless it could be just'y said that work with The Plainsman has provided the core of my entire college experience. This has been particularly t r ue during the past two years. This experience has b e e n highlighted b y a mixture of hard work, success, f a i l u re Jennings and disappointment, and plea- • sures of strong friendship. In my columns during the past five regular quarters of school I have attempted to give serious comment on questions which I felt should be of interest to Auburn students. The results have been good, bad and indifferent— mostly indifferent. Through my columns I have occasionally stepped on toes, particularly those of campus politicians with interests to protect. I feel that I owe no apologies. Certainly I owe none on the basis of my comments on campus politics, which has been, is, and will continue to be rotten. All things considered, the last four years have been great. * * * The Auburn track team, coached by Wilbur Hutsell, gave everything it had in an effort to capture the Southeastern Conference track crown at the SEC meet.in Birmingham last Saturday. Every member of the team gave the strongest performance that could have been expected as a bold bid was made to upset the favorites for the title. With nine competitors in the final events, the Tigers took an early lead in points and went into the mile relay tied for second place, one-half point behind leading Tennessee. After placing fifth in the mile relay, Auburn was left in third place in the final standings behind Alabama and Florida. Don Johnson, injured quarter-miler, gained on the leaders of the relay on the anchor lap in an effort worthy of praise but was unable to give Auburn victory. On the basis of comparison with p a s t performances, the weakest link in the Auburn chain was Jim Dillion. He placed third in the shot-put, although he had beaten winner Carl Shield three times previously this year. * * * The removal of the temporary buildings located near Alumni Gym is a welcome sight. The buildings have outlived their practical usefulness and were eyesores on the campus. It .is also very gratifying to realize that construction on the student union building will soon begin in the area vacated by the temporary buildings. This is the latest step in a program that has provided almost amazing improvement in the physical plant of Auburn. ' The retirement of the barracks from the men's housing provided by Auburn was another very noteworthy improvement for the school. * * * I have been requested to make a correction of sfact found in my column appearing in the May T edition of The Plainsman. Bruce Greenhill did not volunteer for active duty in Korea but went because he was ordered. I am glad to make this correction. Cedric's Almanac Boomerang-Tossing Evermore Tiresome By Fred "Cedric" Nichols Gad, am I evermore tired. I just spent three days trying to throw my boomerang away. Yes, I'm not long for this old world. My lifetime ball-point pen collapsed. I don't mind my pen giving out, but just think of all those hours spent writing underwater (That explains why some of the readers of this column call the author a drip). I'm so anemic, whenever I stay up late only one eye gets bloodshot. But that one eye really is a beaut. It looks like tapioca dipped in catsup. Just the other day a guy called me to report that I was overdrawn at the blood bank. I guess you'd say I was in the "red." To top it all, my insomnia is so bad that nqw it's impossible to sleep even when it's time to get up. Drinking coffee made my eyes have circles under them until I switched to Ovaltine and got ovals. Why I felt so punk the other day is that I didn't play my usual 36 holes after breakfast. My harmonica was lost. This was the day when I threw a cigarette in a manhole, tried to step on it and broke my leg. After this calamity I went straight to that eminent physician, Dr: I. Will Killum, who specializes in treating baby sitters with calluses. He suggested that I go to a hospital for a few days until I 'felt better. I thought the situation over and decided to go to one of these newfangled flophouses with room ser-ice. When we arrived at the hospital I noticed that it smelled just like a still and was constantly on the lookout for state men. The nurse in my ward told me that everything was all right and there was nothing to worry about. She closed the curtains around my bed so that no state man could see me and then smilingly handed me a bottle. There must have been something wrong with her because the bottle she left was empty and she kept coming back expecting it to be full. I guess that watching out for those state men had quite an effect on her brain. Before I left, I had had a bet With the other two guys in my ward that my number of operations would beat theirs. Of course they thought that they would have more, so we all put five bucks in the kitty and decided to give it to the one with the greatest number of operations. One had three appendectomies, the other had two tonsillectomies, but since I had four enemas they gave me the pot. rest of many other colleges. . . .

Probably some of these accounts are grossly exaggerated, since some newspapers and magazines seem to find delight in giving the impression that all college students are congenital mental defectives. Such publications use a profusion of pictures showing coeds in varying states of drunkenness, fraternity houses practically dismantled after wild parties, and other examples of our "wild" youth. The possibility of distorted accounts of the riots is not the important consideration, however. The crucial point, is that the students are permitting themselves to be lured into absolutely unjustified mob action. Lack of justification is the most alarming thing about student riots. The rise of the indignant masses is a phenomenon which has occurred periodically since the beginning of history. Disorganized and groundless action by the supposedly intellectual segment of the population is, however, a horse of an entirely different color. Present-day college students take pride in being "liberal." They like to make much of their respect for the rights of individuals and groups. In view of this professed attitude it is disgraceful when students Violate the rights of dormitory residents by entering private rooms and stealing (that word is "stealing," not "raiding," "capturing" or "appropriating") clothing and other personal items. Some argue that constant dignity is too much to expect from college students, but we maintain that decency rather than dignity is the issue under fire. Persons of sufficient mental ability to absorb college level training should be above the barbaric behavior displayed by many students in the past few weeks. Evidently, the riots have accomplished nothing but a mountain of bad publicity for the schools involved. Some faculty members have been assaulted or insulted, and property damage has run high. We fervently hope that Auburn will be spared a similar demonstration of student asininity. The ill-fated "Wreck Tech" demonstration of a few years back has juSt begun to be forgotten, and we hope that Auburn men will continue to conduct themselves in a civilized manner. The famous "Auburn Spirit" often calls for an outlet through action, but the very basis of that same spirit calls for a fundamental respect for the rights and property of students and the regulations of the college. liam Samford and Charles Thach and William Broun and Mike Donahue and George Petrie and Luther Duncan and Fred Allison and Ralph Draughon, who recognized Auburn's potentialities and directed her surging energies through channels that led directly to the vibrant, challenging institution she is today. . . .

Albritton Three true Plainsmen Will Be Lost By Plainsman Staff At Graduation By Walter "Parson" Albrittoh Aa Jim Everett writes his final "30" this week, The Plainsman loses three true Plainsman men, in the highest sense of the word. In less than a month the first issue of The Plainsman under* my editorship will be published, without, I regret, the friendly, constructive criticism of "laughing boy," "JP," "Peek," or as he is known to his many readers who have followed him through a successful year of editorializing—Jim Everett. The Plainsman will miss the smooth, intelligent guidance that it has received under Everett's reign, and more than that, The Plainsman staff will miss "JP." It disturbs me to consider the Plainsman office without the quiet generalship of Gene "Moose" Moore. Every Plainsman staff member wbuld be quick to agree that Moose has been one managing editor who could "get the copy back" when it seemed that there just wasn't any news. And though many have jokingly, willed him "the guy with the bull whip," Moose's witty quips have made even the hardest work at the latest hours fun and well worth the subsequent tired, bloodshot eyes. The Plainsman staff will miss not only Moose's expert copy-reading and his overall journalistic talent; the staff will miss also Moose himself, a loyal friend of all who know him. As is the case with any writer, fellow columnist Jim Jennings has had his sihare of criticism while writing on The Plainsman. Yet Jim has probably had more readers who admired his fearless, serious columnizing than any other of his associates. For four years Jim has served Auburn as a faithful Plainsman staffer, and although it has sometimes meant all night vigilances, he has never held a paying position on the staff. Few Auburn graduates can boast of better service. For his service to the school and to The Plainsman, and his plucky column writing, '"Mad Dog," as he is known to his friends, deserves high tribute. Words have not yet been coined that could express the attachment that has grown up between myself and these three Plainsmen. To say that I will miss them and their fine work does not begin to say fully what I mean. And so, rather than •continue this futile attempt in words of paying them a tribute, I shall sum it up with this: I shall strive to continue to give Auburn students a Plainsman of the high calibre that has been given them under the editorial leadership of Jim Everett, Moose Moore and Jim Jennings, with the highest hopes that these three will not consider their efforts in training replacements have been in vain. * * * * Engineering students voted last week in favor of a plan which should in time produce favorable credit upon themselves and their school. The plan of subsidization for the Auburn Engineer is a good one. It will give Auburn an engineering publication to match others of its type in the nation. It will enable hundreds of high school students to get a free copy of the Engineer, which will thereby be good publicity for A.P.I, and its engineering school. Surplus proceeds from the subsidization policy will help pay for the engineering school's part in each year's Open House, which is alone sufficient reason for the plan being a good one. The establishing of a definite salary for the Engineer's editor and business manager—another provision of the subsidization plan—will provide more incentive for engineering students to work on the Engineer staff, which will in turn mean a better and larger corps of writers. I hope that the proper college officials will act quickly in evaluating and approving this plan, which is now in their hands.

I GEORGIA OFFERS FAVORITE SON Puwdits Say Alabama Will Back Russell By Les Ford According to the pundits, when the democratic national convention rolls around in May, Alabama will y i e l d to Georgia, and Georgia will nominate her favorite son, Senator Richard Brevard Russell, for the presidential candidacy. Steeped with southern tradition on both sides, "Dick" Russell was born in tHe windswept town of Winder in the rolling, blood-red Georgia hills, some 52 miles hbrtheast of Atlanta. With 12 brothers and sisters, he grew up in a stern, religious 'home, and the full text of the Bible had been read aloud twice in the home before he was 13 years old. In school, Russell's marks we're only "fair." He went to Gordon Military College at Barnesville, Ga., and State A. and M. S&hool at Powder Springs, where board was $6.40 a month and each student did 36 hours of work every month.- At the University of Georgia he was both a serious student and cheerleader, but no campus politician. After receiving his law degree in 1918, he did a short term in the naval reser%ie hung up his shingle. * * * ON HIS 23RD birthday, Russell was elected to the Georgia general assembly and has been in public office since, never losing an election. For 10 years he served in the assembly, became its parliamentary expert and its presiding officer. Then he decided to move up. In- 1931, Chief Justice Richard B. Russell, Sr., swore in Richard B. Russell, Jr., as governor of Georgia. He was 33, and the youngest governor in the state's history. Taking over in the depth of the depression, the new governor was forced to slash state expenditures 32 per cent, reduce the number of state departments, wipe but 26 boards of trustees, and substitute one board of regents to run the and then returned to Winder and state's higher-education system. Russell was getting into full stride in the middle of his first term when Georgia's Senator William J. Harris died. Gov. Russell ran for the unexpired term, beat veteran congressman Charles Crisp and -*ent to Washington at the tender age Of 35, the youngest member of the U.S. Senate. IN THE 20 years that have followed, Georgia's Russell has become one of the most respected men in the Senate. On the floor, he is polite to the point of courts lihess. In the cloak-rooms, he manages to give more favors than he asks, and probably has more colleagues . under obligation to him than any other senator.

The queen yard is named "Heaven's Hill." Auburn students, accompanied by Prof. F. E. Guyton, saw the production o f thousands o f queens to serve as brides. Package bees and queens are shipped into such countries as Canada, England, France, Africa, Belgium, Holland, Thailand, Guatemala, Mexico, South Africa and Cuba. The bees are used in pollehating orchards, clover fields, cucumbers and cotton fields, among o t h e r important commercial items. The queen is placed in a mailing box by Harrell with eight young worker bees to take care of her on the trip, and sent on her honeympon to her new job. QUEENS ARE HATCHED in the regular workers' cells with thousands of other worker bees. When less than two days old, they are placed in artificially constructed queen cells containing a mixture of royal jelly and water. This diet causes them to become queens rather than worker bees. From the queen cell, they are moved to a starter colony that has no queen. The queen remains there for 24 hours after which she is moved to a finishing colony for 10 days. Next the queen is transferred to a mating box while still sealed in her cell. She emerges from the cell and becomes a mature laying queen within the next 10 or 12 days. The queen's mate dies within a few hours and the queen soon begins laying 3,000 eggs a day. Worker bees soon work themselves to death gathering nectar, producing honey, comb and wax and caring for their queen. They live only about six weeks and are neither male nor female, but neuters. * \ * * AFTER STUDYING the production of queens, the students were taken to Harrell's packing house where the queens and their workers, shipped by the pound, AIMY'S IS NOW SPECIALIZING IN BREAKFASTS.

SCANNING THE PLAINS FOOTS Mill SPORTS EDITOR Danforth Speaks At Plainsman Banquet, Stresses Importance Of Student Paper The importance of the student newspaper as related to collegiate athletics was the crux of Ed Danforth's talk heard by some 60 people attending the annual Plainsman banquet held last Wednesday. Mr. Danforth, colorful sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, is nationally known for his stand against de-emphasis of college sports. "A function of a student newspaper can be quite a contribution to college sports," he began. "You can see athletes are not in school as hirelings. Players are full-fledged members of the student body working toward a. degree. A duty of the student newspaper is to help keep athletics cleaned up in your own backyard. It makes life easier for the coach, too," he continued. He insinuated, taking the Tech-Georgia football game (a lopsided win for Tech) last fall for an example, that the difference between two teams is not always what the score suggests. Pointing out that had the team kicking off received, the results of the game may have been different. But the public doesn't always understand this. The student newspaper can help non-participants realize that the final score isn't a consistent indication of a team's strength. This is why any coach shouldn't be second quessed. The Southeastern sports chieftan concluded a half-hour of entertainment by expressing his slight resentment at being termed the "dean of Southern sports writers" thusly: "I don't like that dean stuff— How many deans have you seen that you'd like to look like?" —Tiger Topics Coach Wilbur Hutsell pulled out the forbidden-at-home cigar Saturday during the crucial moments of the SEC track meet in Birmingham as his cindermen came within one event of winning the championship. . The SEC's band of trainers presented Auburn trainer Kenny Howard a beautiful piece of luggage as a going away, good will gesture for Kenny who leaves for Helsinki, Finland's Olympics in approximately six weeks. Jeff Beard was elected secretary-treasurer of the. SEC's athletic directors group at a conference meeting in Birmingham, Saturday. —Blunder of the week was made by the Birmingham News. The News ran a two-column picture of Jim Dillion last week with a cut-line describing Alabama's Carl Shield. —Little John Francisco's desire'for victory seemed almost con-tageous as Auburn pressed hard for an SEC track win. Francisco, who didn't qualify for the finals, has been offered a job coaching track at Columbus, Ga., High when he completes his current course. —A Doff Of The Plainsman Coonskin For making a very successful debut as Auburn's new baseball coach, Neil E. (Dick) McGowen, along with his spirited baseball team, deserves a sincere doff of the Plainsman coonskin cap. His band, one of predominant sophomore composition, endured several bad days'— e. g., the double loss to Tech that near freezing early April afternoon in Plainsman Park—but won enough games to terminate the conference season in fourth place. His nine was in the conference pennant fight until the last day, when Lady Luck negatively shook her head. Auburnites are proud of the fact that McGowen's aggregation overran Alabama's diamond representatives three times in four attempts for the state's mythical baseball crown. It was the only Plainsman major sport varsity to beat the Crimsons during the year. Sweeping two-game series from LSU and Ole Miss were other highlights Auburn's final SEC won-lost record was 10-8, with a pair of ties recorded. Overall, the 26-game schedule was finished with 13 victories and 11 setbacks. I Next year's outlook is bright, with some 15 lettermen returning. Capt. Gene Hoehle, Jake Jones, and Earl Pearce are the only members whose eligibility expires. Returning for the 1953 show is an adept mound staff, an adroit infield, and a good outfield. Freshmen coach Tom Page is counted upon to send up some good plebes to challenge current varsity returnees. A year hence may provide Auburn its first conference baseball flag. —The End Despite the fact that Auburn's major sports teams didn't win an SEC championship during the closing year, they have provided the student body and public anxious and enjoyable or composed and un-likable moments as they won or lost in their strifes for victory. Everyone can be proud of Auburn's athletics in the aspect that no scandals marred the Orange and Blue. The entire coaching staff has been most cooperative in releasing information, that all important link between off-the-scenes happenings and its description in The Plainsman. Larry Conner and Ronald " K i t t y " Owen will resume their sports beats in the fall. Their contributions to the Plainsman sports pages during the last three months have been invaluable. Until we meet again, at the Auburn-Maryland football game Sept. 27 in Birmingham, here's an adage worth remembering: "A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins."

Alabama won the keenly contested meet with a winner's all-time low of 38 points to squeeze by Florida, 36Vz; Auburn, 34, and Tennessee, 33Vs. Louisiana State, pre-meet favorite, was the only team in the con-r vergence to vacillate to any extent. Failure of their high hurdle potentials was the Bengals' alibi for not finishing higher than fifth. It was the first time in conference history that LSU had finished low«r than second. # * * • '• THE TENSENESS which dwelt in the stands before the final event, the mile relay, was terrific. Two trophies, one each for the winners of the meet and the mile relay, hinged on the race since four teams, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama and Florida, could win the championship by taking first place in the baton carry. These four had 33 %, 33, 33, and 32 V2 points, in that order, before the day's finale. . .... wins 440. When Ed Bick, Bama's top duar-ter- miler, led the pack home to give Alabama a sudden death league crown, its second in three years, Crimson coach Hodges was carried from the field on. his prodigies' shoulders. AUBURN'S R E L A Y TEAM, Capt. Duncan Bryant, Creel, Tommy Tate and Johnson, ran what was probably the most spirited relay of their lives to finish a respectable fifth. Tate, normally a half-miler, had never run the 440 in less than 52 seconds, but Saturday hi*ran a 50.3 lap. His efforts was representative of the foursome's Concentrated desire to win.

'% DON JOHNSON string of high hurdle victories which began in 1947, beating Florida's ace, Lincoln Knowles, by five yards. The gangling Macon-ite's time of 14.9 was the same as in the preliminaries Friday. Creel, Auburn's top point-maker with 9V4, won his specialty, the 220, over LSU's heralded Charley Johnson, who faltered 10 yards from the finish. His win evened the score with Johnson, who had beat him in the century. * * * DILLION REBROKE his conference discus mark with a 164', eYz" throw. The NCAA discus champion also placed third in the shot put and fifth in the javelin. His disappointment in not equal-lingw »his..i70-plus twirl in the t ^Southern ftelays may be attributed to the rain which drizzled steadily during the event. Johnson, the Bessemer sensation coached by ex-Auburn Snitz Snider prior to his entrance to the Plains, won his heat in the 440 Friday, as everyone took each step with him for fear the Olympic prospect would repull a leg muscle hurt more than a month ago. In the finals; he passed the last man between him and victory about 150 yards from the taut string, then coasted in for a 48.8 quarter and first place. MASSIVE ED BAUER, failing to qualify for the shot finals, was second to Dillion in the discus trials, but wavered to a third place finish behind LSU's Ralph Mc- Leod during Saturday's competition. Allan Parks picked up two points for Auburn in the pole vault as he was involved in a three-way tie for third place with Florida's Billy Harper and Tech's Dick Ralston, with the bar at 12 feet, 6 inches.

"i STUDENTS Georgia Melts Snow, Beats Auburn, To Squelch Tigers' Baseball Hopes By Larry Conner Auburn's long, uphill bid for the SEC Eastern Division baseball championship fell short in the last game of the season Wednesday as the Tigers fell to Georgia 10-4, after whipping the Bulldogs 6-1 Tuesday. The Tigers' big right-hander, Buck Bradberry, "kept the Plainsmen's waning title hopes alive Tuesday, as he tossed a neat three-hitter past baffled Bulldog batsmen. The "Blazer" had a no-hitter going for five innings, until the Georgians came up with two hits and their only run in the sixth inning. * * S: V v AUBURN scored two runs in the second, one in the fourth, one in the sixth, and two more in the eighth inning. In Wednesday's pay-off game, the Bulldogs knocked Tiger starting pitcher Ernie Snow out in the second inning with a four-run outburst. Gene Hoehle relieved Snow and went the rest of the way for Auburn. The Bulldogs pecked away at him for one run in the fourth and fifth, three in the seventh and a final run in the eighth. PITCHER Jackie Roberts of Georgia was a hard man to beat at bat or on the mound; in addi- NOTICE Seniors who are to be graduated May 31 are reminded to pick up their gowns at Burton's Bookstore Thursday, May 29, or Friday, May 30. tion to giving up only five scattered hits to Tiger hitters, he also collected a double and a single to help further his own cause. Zeke Bratkowski rapped out two home runs, for Georgia; one was good for three runs in the second inning uprising, which was so hot that Snow melted. Jim Wal-loy's triple was the big blow for Auburn in the Tigers' final appearance of the season. i : Westminster Defeated By Newmanites, 10-8 Newman edged out "Westminster, 10-8, in the only church league softball game played last week. Canterbury forfeited to Church of Christ in the other scheduled clash. Llewellyn paced the winners with three of his team's 12 hits. Larue, Wiltsie and Wise supplied two each for Newman.

This |is the inost unusual question the Auburn Library has been tasked, according to Dr. C. H. Cantrell, director of libraries. "The Auburn Library is one of the few that could find tension interests of the college, and to remain alert on n ew developments in the l i b r a r y field. "About 165,000 volumes are in t h e library, with approximately 22,000 books in branch libraries on the campus," Dr. Cantrell said. "Since 1945, the staff has been looking forward to the time when a larger, functionally planned and fully serviceable l i b r a r y may be built at A.P.I." About 10,000 to 15,000 volumes comprise the reference collection. Dr. Cantrell said that he believed those who wanted to read for pleasure would find time for it. The fiction books the students ask for are usually the same ones that are on top of the best-seller lists. At present, the library is having many requests for The Caine Mutiny and A Man Called Peter. A special feature of the library i t h e , answer to such a question, Dr. Cantrell said. "We found that t h e poet was Jaufre Rudel of France who lived in the ye^rs just, before the Renaissance." I n addition to unusual questions, the library staff answers hundreds of routine inquiries about such m a t t e r s as how to use t h e card catalog and periodical indexes. * * * THE TREMENDOUS job of running a college, l i b r a ry is handled by a staff of 25 regular employees and about 25 part-time student assistants who work from 10 to 25 hours a week. Duties of this staff are to obtain and process requested library materials, to service them, to aid readers seeking information, to coordina t e the work of the l i b r a r y staff and t h e ' l i b r a r y collections with t h e teaching, research and ex- 8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 21, 1952 ETA KAPPA NU PICKS HOLMES PRESIDENT Charles H o l m e s , LaFayette: was recently elected president of Xi chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, na tional engineering honorary.

Two recently purchased microf i lm reading machines are another of the library's special feat u r e s . Microfilms are being used to complete files of certain periodicals which are now out of print.

Engineering School Favors Subsidization For Auburn Engineer Engineering students voted in favor of subsidizing the Auburn Engineer, monthly student magazine, in .last Thursday's election by a count of 372 to 30, according to Bill Parks, recently appointed editor.

If passed by these bodies, an additional 50 cents per quarter will be paid by engineering students on their activities .fee. Parks, who was elected by the Engineers Council and will officially take over editorial duties next' fall, said the subsidization will put the publication on par with any other magazine of its type in the country, provide surplus profits to pay for the engineer's portion of the Open House, enable the magazine to be sent to all state high schools free of charge, and provide a definite salary for the editor and business manager. The amount of the salary has not been determined.

BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM Micafiou Vs. Politics.. / As the deadline for volume 78, number "29 drew near, we found it hard to steer Sway from a sentimental swan sOng in this last editorial of our college careers. Typical of most swan songs is the expression of 'feelings 'for staff members. We, too, would like to tell the staff how great the past year has been. We'd like to reminisce, offer advice and thank them. But to the majority of Plainsman readers, this would be meaningless. Only a Plainsman staffer can understand the spirit and friendship that is prevalent in the one-room office on Tichenor Avenue. Instead we'd like to write about Auburn, an institution we've watched grow in the past four years. We've seen it struggle with problems ranging from local situations to state-wide conflicts. We've witnessed a building boom unprecedented before in the history of the college. We've watched Auburn grow to be the largest university in the state. And we've developed great admiration for its president, leaders, faculty, and students. The first thing that impressed us fotfr years ago When we arrived in Auburn was ;the great respect on the Plains for the institution's many traditions. We have noticed the mark that the four-year experience leaves on each graduate. An Auburn student always remains an Auburn man, a fact that is noticed enviously by other colleges. Call it a mark of the Auburn spirit if you like. We have admired the actions of the student body—attitudes that have been devoid of the unrest and Uprising on other college campuses. Students, in the past four years, have planned a union building ' which begins its growth this month. They have shown concern for fellow students in campus religious, social, and student government circles. Our primary interest in Auburn, however, has been as an educational institution serving Alabama and the South. In past years leaders of Auburn have fought a constant battle to ' free the institution ffofnf political influence, to separate education and'politics. The task has not yet been accomplished. Recent rumors have been reported by state political columnists concerning Auburn and the education-politics issue. They indicated that hopeful gubernatorial candidates would remove Dr. Draughon and use the presidency of Auburn for political gain. We hope the rumors are untrue. Such activity has no place on any college campus. And yet numerous cases of political influence in our nation's colleges appear each year. Educational progress at the Universities of'Georgia and Mississippi, and Louisiana State University has been hampered recently by the infringement of the universities' educational rights. Yet very few citizens are cognizant of the fact. Very few reporters dare mention it in statewide columns. Auburn has grown more, physically and as an educational institution, during the term of Dr. Draughon's presidency than ever before in the history of the college. He has fought unceasingly for Auburn, and Auburn alone. He has guided the institution through athletic upsets, appropriation difficulties, and growing pains. He is an educator, not a politician. And Auburn should always have such a man at its helm. Yet certain men in the state would . . . Ah Auburn Problem scuttle the true 'purpose of the institution. They would place individual gain over the educational benefits to the future leaders of the state. They would welcome thfe attempt to hold Auburn in their palms and manipulate its publicity, extension service, and state-wide contacts. / The fate of Auburn lies in the hands of the Board of Trustees. We hope the Board soon counteracts the rumors that were recently publicized in the state's newspapers. Until individuals seeking political gain realize that Auburn functions solely to serve Alabama and neighboring states, the institution will not progress to its full potentialities. It will be shackled and dragged from the educational path. The real purpose of Auburn is research, extension, and instruction. It is a purpose that is given little thought by students and citizens of the state, and yet, they receive benefits daily from the institution. Research at Auburn was rejuvenated only this year with the appointment of Dr. •R. G. Sturm as director. He has mapped out a program for Auburn that will test ^the scientific and creative abilities of 'our :facuity and graduate students. They will, with appropriations from sponsoring businesses, work on problems that have direct bearing on the future of Our nation. Their woVk will :be a credit to the institution. Research work'is also conducted by the institution with no sponsoring body. Results from ;this work are funnelled to Alaba- •mians 'through the A.P.I, extension service. Basically an agricultural state, Alabama has depended \ on Auburn's extension service for experimental data, and the institution has responded. Better farm practices have increased the standard of living of scores of citizens through actual operations under the guidance of county agents. All this is as much a part of Auburn as Samford Hall, War Eagle, and freshman English. It is all a part of Auburn's place in the South's future. Idealistic perhaps, but true. Instruction is more closely related to the students at Auburn. Although there are many improvements to be made in courses, faculty and texts, the college has slowly pulled its educational requirements to higher levels in the past years. New courses have been initiated, and new fields for graduate work have been opened. A larger staff of qualified instructors is growing daily in'this gradual improvement of educational standings. Auburn, in its 78 years of existence, has produced leaders in business, science, education, polities, and military affairs. Each graduate has carried from the Plains the blessings of the administration, instructors, and predecessors. Auburn Will continue to produce leaders in the future. It will be demanded of them in a progressive'South. They will regret leaving Auburn at first. The infectious spirit of the Loveliest Village is a strange and indescribable one. But their temporary loss will fade into respect and pride in the institution they left behind. Auburn is a great and growing institution. It will continue to become more prominent in the future. It will continue to give its work to the South and Alabama. It will remain the Loveliest Village to the hundreds that were infected with the Auburn Spirit. It will continue to direct students toward higher attainments.

" By Gene 'Moose' Moore These are the things I'll remember about Auburn. . . . The loud silence in the hall of a classroom building, as students earn the knowledge they came here for. . . . The friendly, warm genuineness and comradeship in which Auburn students associate with each other, the factor which does so much to keep her from the scandals and un New Personnel To Rule Plainsman After Old Staff Members Graduate By Jim Jennings This is my last regular column for The Plainsman. Lower classmen with fresh ideas and ambitions are moving up to replace Jim Everett, Gene Moore, and me on the editorial staff after we graduate at the end of the quarter. The three of us began our work on The Plainsman four years ago during the almost forgotten reign of editor Jack Simms. It would be impossible to express in a column the feeling I have toward those four years with the paper or the strong attachments that have developed between members of the staff. Nevertheless it could be just'y said that work with The Plainsman has provided the core of my entire college experience. This has been particularly t r ue during the past two years. This experience has b e e n highlighted b y a mixture of hard work, success, f a i l u re Jennings and disappointment, and plea- • sures of strong friendship. In my columns during the past five regular quarters of school I have attempted to give serious comment on questions which I felt should be of interest to Auburn students. The results have been good, bad and indifferent— mostly indifferent. Through my columns I have occasionally stepped on toes, particularly those of campus politicians with interests to protect. I feel that I owe no apologies. Certainly I owe none on the basis of my comments on campus politics, which has been, is, and will continue to be rotten. All things considered, the last four years have been great. * * * The Auburn track team, coached by Wilbur Hutsell, gave everything it had in an effort to capture the Southeastern Conference track crown at the SEC meet.in Birmingham last Saturday. Every member of the team gave the strongest performance that could have been expected as a bold bid was made to upset the favorites for the title. With nine competitors in the final events, the Tigers took an early lead in points and went into the mile relay tied for second place, one-half point behind leading Tennessee. After placing fifth in the mile relay, Auburn was left in third place in the final standings behind Alabama and Florida. Don Johnson, injured quarter-miler, gained on the leaders of the relay on the anchor lap in an effort worthy of praise but was unable to give Auburn victory. On the basis of comparison with p a s t performances, the weakest link in the Auburn chain was Jim Dillion. He placed third in the shot-put, although he had beaten winner Carl Shield three times previously this year. * * * The removal of the temporary buildings located near Alumni Gym is a welcome sight. The buildings have outlived their practical usefulness and were eyesores on the campus. It .is also very gratifying to realize that construction on the student union building will soon begin in the area vacated by the temporary buildings. This is the latest step in a program that has provided almost amazing improvement in the physical plant of Auburn. ' The retirement of the barracks from the men's housing provided by Auburn was another very noteworthy improvement for the school. * * * I have been requested to make a correction of sfact found in my column appearing in the May T edition of The Plainsman. Bruce Greenhill did not volunteer for active duty in Korea but went because he was ordered. I am glad to make this correction. Cedric's Almanac Boomerang-Tossing Evermore Tiresome By Fred "Cedric" Nichols Gad, am I evermore tired. I just spent three days trying to throw my boomerang away. Yes, I'm not long for this old world. My lifetime ball-point pen collapsed. I don't mind my pen giving out, but just think of all those hours spent writing underwater (That explains why some of the readers of this column call the author a drip). I'm so anemic, whenever I stay up late only one eye gets bloodshot. But that one eye really is a beaut. It looks like tapioca dipped in catsup. Just the other day a guy called me to report that I was overdrawn at the blood bank. I guess you'd say I was in the "red." To top it all, my insomnia is so bad that nqw it's impossible to sleep even when it's time to get up. Drinking coffee made my eyes have circles under them until I switched to Ovaltine and got ovals. Why I felt so punk the other day is that I didn't play my usual 36 holes after breakfast. My harmonica was lost. This was the day when I threw a cigarette in a manhole, tried to step on it and broke my leg. After this calamity I went straight to that eminent physician, Dr: I. Will Killum, who specializes in treating baby sitters with calluses. He suggested that I go to a hospital for a few days until I 'felt better. I thought the situation over and decided to go to one of these newfangled flophouses with room ser-ice. When we arrived at the hospital I noticed that it smelled just like a still and was constantly on the lookout for state men. The nurse in my ward told me that everything was all right and there was nothing to worry about. She closed the curtains around my bed so that no state man could see me and then smilingly handed me a bottle. There must have been something wrong with her because the bottle she left was empty and she kept coming back expecting it to be full. I guess that watching out for those state men had quite an effect on her brain. Before I left, I had had a bet With the other two guys in my ward that my number of operations would beat theirs. Of course they thought that they would have more, so we all put five bucks in the kitty and decided to give it to the one with the greatest number of operations. One had three appendectomies, the other had two tonsillectomies, but since I had four enemas they gave me the pot. rest of many other colleges. . . .

Probably some of these accounts are grossly exaggerated, since some newspapers and magazines seem to find delight in giving the impression that all college students are congenital mental defectives. Such publications use a profusion of pictures showing coeds in varying states of drunkenness, fraternity houses practically dismantled after wild parties, and other examples of our "wild" youth. The possibility of distorted accounts of the riots is not the important consideration, however. The crucial point, is that the students are permitting themselves to be lured into absolutely unjustified mob action. Lack of justification is the most alarming thing about student riots. The rise of the indignant masses is a phenomenon which has occurred periodically since the beginning of history. Disorganized and groundless action by the supposedly intellectual segment of the population is, however, a horse of an entirely different color. Present-day college students take pride in being "liberal." They like to make much of their respect for the rights of individuals and groups. In view of this professed attitude it is disgraceful when students Violate the rights of dormitory residents by entering private rooms and stealing (that word is "stealing," not "raiding," "capturing" or "appropriating") clothing and other personal items. Some argue that constant dignity is too much to expect from college students, but we maintain that decency rather than dignity is the issue under fire. Persons of sufficient mental ability to absorb college level training should be above the barbaric behavior displayed by many students in the past few weeks. Evidently, the riots have accomplished nothing but a mountain of bad publicity for the schools involved. Some faculty members have been assaulted or insulted, and property damage has run high. We fervently hope that Auburn will be spared a similar demonstration of student asininity. The ill-fated "Wreck Tech" demonstration of a few years back has juSt begun to be forgotten, and we hope that Auburn men will continue to conduct themselves in a civilized manner. The famous "Auburn Spirit" often calls for an outlet through action, but the very basis of that same spirit calls for a fundamental respect for the rights and property of students and the regulations of the college. liam Samford and Charles Thach and William Broun and Mike Donahue and George Petrie and Luther Duncan and Fred Allison and Ralph Draughon, who recognized Auburn's potentialities and directed her surging energies through channels that led directly to the vibrant, challenging institution she is today. . . .

Albritton Three true Plainsmen Will Be Lost By Plainsman Staff At Graduation By Walter "Parson" Albrittoh Aa Jim Everett writes his final "30" this week, The Plainsman loses three true Plainsman men, in the highest sense of the word. In less than a month the first issue of The Plainsman under* my editorship will be published, without, I regret, the friendly, constructive criticism of "laughing boy," "JP," "Peek," or as he is known to his many readers who have followed him through a successful year of editorializing—Jim Everett. The Plainsman will miss the smooth, intelligent guidance that it has received under Everett's reign, and more than that, The Plainsman staff will miss "JP." It disturbs me to consider the Plainsman office without the quiet generalship of Gene "Moose" Moore. Every Plainsman staff member wbuld be quick to agree that Moose has been one managing editor who could "get the copy back" when it seemed that there just wasn't any news. And though many have jokingly, willed him "the guy with the bull whip," Moose's witty quips have made even the hardest work at the latest hours fun and well worth the subsequent tired, bloodshot eyes. The Plainsman staff will miss not only Moose's expert copy-reading and his overall journalistic talent; the staff will miss also Moose himself, a loyal friend of all who know him. As is the case with any writer, fellow columnist Jim Jennings has had his sihare of criticism while writing on The Plainsman. Yet Jim has probably had more readers who admired his fearless, serious columnizing than any other of his associates. For four years Jim has served Auburn as a faithful Plainsman staffer, and although it has sometimes meant all night vigilances, he has never held a paying position on the staff. Few Auburn graduates can boast of better service. For his service to the school and to The Plainsman, and his plucky column writing, '"Mad Dog," as he is known to his friends, deserves high tribute. Words have not yet been coined that could express the attachment that has grown up between myself and these three Plainsmen. To say that I will miss them and their fine work does not begin to say fully what I mean. And so, rather than •continue this futile attempt in words of paying them a tribute, I shall sum it up with this: I shall strive to continue to give Auburn students a Plainsman of the high calibre that has been given them under the editorial leadership of Jim Everett, Moose Moore and Jim Jennings, with the highest hopes that these three will not consider their efforts in training replacements have been in vain. * * * * Engineering students voted last week in favor of a plan which should in time produce favorable credit upon themselves and their school. The plan of subsidization for the Auburn Engineer is a good one. It will give Auburn an engineering publication to match others of its type in the nation. It will enable hundreds of high school students to get a free copy of the Engineer, which will thereby be good publicity for A.P.I, and its engineering school. Surplus proceeds from the subsidization policy will help pay for the engineering school's part in each year's Open House, which is alone sufficient reason for the plan being a good one. The establishing of a definite salary for the Engineer's editor and business manager—another provision of the subsidization plan—will provide more incentive for engineering students to work on the Engineer staff, which will in turn mean a better and larger corps of writers. I hope that the proper college officials will act quickly in evaluating and approving this plan, which is now in their hands.

I GEORGIA OFFERS FAVORITE SON Puwdits Say Alabama Will Back Russell By Les Ford According to the pundits, when the democratic national convention rolls around in May, Alabama will y i e l d to Georgia, and Georgia will nominate her favorite son, Senator Richard Brevard Russell, for the presidential candidacy. Steeped with southern tradition on both sides, "Dick" Russell was born in tHe windswept town of Winder in the rolling, blood-red Georgia hills, some 52 miles hbrtheast of Atlanta. With 12 brothers and sisters, he grew up in a stern, religious 'home, and the full text of the Bible had been read aloud twice in the home before he was 13 years old. In school, Russell's marks we're only "fair." He went to Gordon Military College at Barnesville, Ga., and State A. and M. S&hool at Powder Springs, where board was $6.40 a month and each student did 36 hours of work every month.- At the University of Georgia he was both a serious student and cheerleader, but no campus politician. After receiving his law degree in 1918, he did a short term in the naval reser%ie hung up his shingle. * * * ON HIS 23RD birthday, Russell was elected to the Georgia general assembly and has been in public office since, never losing an election. For 10 years he served in the assembly, became its parliamentary expert and its presiding officer. Then he decided to move up. In- 1931, Chief Justice Richard B. Russell, Sr., swore in Richard B. Russell, Jr., as governor of Georgia. He was 33, and the youngest governor in the state's history. Taking over in the depth of the depression, the new governor was forced to slash state expenditures 32 per cent, reduce the number of state departments, wipe but 26 boards of trustees, and substitute one board of regents to run the and then returned to Winder and state's higher-education system. Russell was getting into full stride in the middle of his first term when Georgia's Senator William J. Harris died. Gov. Russell ran for the unexpired term, beat veteran congressman Charles Crisp and -*ent to Washington at the tender age Of 35, the youngest member of the U.S. Senate. IN THE 20 years that have followed, Georgia's Russell has become one of the most respected men in the Senate. On the floor, he is polite to the point of courts lihess. In the cloak-rooms, he manages to give more favors than he asks, and probably has more colleagues . under obligation to him than any other senator. Russell works long hours, carefully studies every important piece of legislation, and has a knowledge of Senate rutes uh-equaled oh Capitol 'Hill. He has been termed one of the subtlest and most able field generals who ever appeared on !the Senate floor, by Illinois Senator Paul Douglas. * * * AS CHAIRMAN of the vital * It's Easy to Beat Summer Heat When P3f *> See ( H i t Suits Now • K-^-5*?-!

A long time champion over civil rights legislation, Russell is credited with authoring the bill recently passed which makes it almost impossible to break a filibuster. Even though he is against civil rights legislation, it was through his influence that Georgia did not break away from the Democrats in 1948. And today, the southerner states that if he is favored with nomination he will accept any civil rights plank decided upon by the convention. \W/ 6^tan#-the RAY ELECTED PREXY OF SPEECH GROUPS Denisbn Ray, Anniston, was recently elected president of Tau Kappa Alpha speech honorary, and the Auburn Debate Council for the coming year.

The queen yard is named "Heaven's Hill." Auburn students, accompanied by Prof. F. E. Guyton, saw the production o f thousands o f queens to serve as brides. Package bees and queens are shipped into such countries as Canada, England, France, Africa, Belgium, Holland, Thailand, Guatemala, Mexico, South Africa and Cuba. The bees are used in pollehating orchards, clover fields, cucumbers and cotton fields, among o t h e r important commercial items. The queen is placed in a mailing box by Harrell with eight young worker bees to take care of her on the trip, and sent on her honeympon to her new job. QUEENS ARE HATCHED in the regular workers' cells with thousands of other worker bees. When less than two days old, they are placed in artificially constructed queen cells containing a mixture of royal jelly and water. This diet causes them to become queens rather than worker bees. From the queen cell, they are moved to a starter colony that has no queen. The queen remains there for 24 hours after which she is moved to a finishing colony for 10 days. Next the queen is transferred to a mating box while still sealed in her cell. She emerges from the cell and becomes a mature laying queen within the next 10 or 12 days. The queen's mate dies within a few hours and the queen soon begins laying 3,000 eggs a day. Worker bees soon work themselves to death gathering nectar, producing honey, comb and wax and caring for their queen. They live only about six weeks and are neither male nor female, but neuters. * \ * * AFTER STUDYING the production of queens, the students were taken to Harrell's packing house where the queens and their workers, shipped by the pound, AIMY'S IS NOW SPECIALIZING IN BREAKFASTS.

SCANNING THE PLAINS FOOTS Mill SPORTS EDITOR Danforth Speaks At Plainsman Banquet, Stresses Importance Of Student Paper The importance of the student newspaper as related to collegiate athletics was the crux of Ed Danforth's talk heard by some 60 people attending the annual Plainsman banquet held last Wednesday. Mr. Danforth, colorful sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, is nationally known for his stand against de-emphasis of college sports. "A function of a student newspaper can be quite a contribution to college sports," he began. "You can see athletes are not in school as hirelings. Players are full-fledged members of the student body working toward a. degree. A duty of the student newspaper is to help keep athletics cleaned up in your own backyard. It makes life easier for the coach, too," he continued. He insinuated, taking the Tech-Georgia football game (a lopsided win for Tech) last fall for an example, that the difference between two teams is not always what the score suggests. Pointing out that had the team kicking off received, the results of the game may have been different. But the public doesn't always understand this. The student newspaper can help non-participants realize that the final score isn't a consistent indication of a team's strength. This is why any coach shouldn't be second quessed. The Southeastern sports chieftan concluded a half-hour of entertainment by expressing his slight resentment at being termed the "dean of Southern sports writers" thusly: "I don't like that dean stuff— How many deans have you seen that you'd like to look like?" —Tiger Topics Coach Wilbur Hutsell pulled out the forbidden-at-home cigar Saturday during the crucial moments of the SEC track meet in Birmingham as his cindermen came within one event of winning the championship. . The SEC's band of trainers presented Auburn trainer Kenny Howard a beautiful piece of luggage as a going away, good will gesture for Kenny who leaves for Helsinki, Finland's Olympics in approximately six weeks. Jeff Beard was elected secretary-treasurer of the. SEC's athletic directors group at a conference meeting in Birmingham, Saturday. —Blunder of the week was made by the Birmingham News. The News ran a two-column picture of Jim Dillion last week with a cut-line describing Alabama's Carl Shield. —Little John Francisco's desire'for victory seemed almost con-tageous as Auburn pressed hard for an SEC track win. Francisco, who didn't qualify for the finals, has been offered a job coaching track at Columbus, Ga., High when he completes his current course. —A Doff Of The Plainsman Coonskin For making a very successful debut as Auburn's new baseball coach, Neil E. (Dick) McGowen, along with his spirited baseball team, deserves a sincere doff of the Plainsman coonskin cap. His band, one of predominant sophomore composition, endured several bad days'— e. g., the double loss to Tech that near freezing early April afternoon in Plainsman Park—but won enough games to terminate the conference season in fourth place. His nine was in the conference pennant fight until the last day, when Lady Luck negatively shook her head. Auburnites are proud of the fact that McGowen's aggregation overran Alabama's diamond representatives three times in four attempts for the state's mythical baseball crown. It was the only Plainsman major sport varsity to beat the Crimsons during the year. Sweeping two-game series from LSU and Ole Miss were other highlights Auburn's final SEC won-lost record was 10-8, with a pair of ties recorded. Overall, the 26-game schedule was finished with 13 victories and 11 setbacks. I Next year's outlook is bright, with some 15 lettermen returning. Capt. Gene Hoehle, Jake Jones, and Earl Pearce are the only members whose eligibility expires. Returning for the 1953 show is an adept mound staff, an adroit infield, and a good outfield. Freshmen coach Tom Page is counted upon to send up some good plebes to challenge current varsity returnees. A year hence may provide Auburn its first conference baseball flag. —The End Despite the fact that Auburn's major sports teams didn't win an SEC championship during the closing year, they have provided the student body and public anxious and enjoyable or composed and un-likable moments as they won or lost in their strifes for victory. Everyone can be proud of Auburn's athletics in the aspect that no scandals marred the Orange and Blue. The entire coaching staff has been most cooperative in releasing information, that all important link between off-the-scenes happenings and its description in The Plainsman. Larry Conner and Ronald " K i t t y " Owen will resume their sports beats in the fall. Their contributions to the Plainsman sports pages during the last three months have been invaluable. Until we meet again, at the Auburn-Maryland football game Sept. 27 in Birmingham, here's an adage worth remembering: "A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins." KAPPA ALPHA IN LEAD All-Sports Trophy Race Nears Finish By Ronald Owen • ; Playoffs for championships in intramural softball, volleyball', tennis and golf begin this week as the race for the annual All-Sports trophy nears its finish.

Alabama won the keenly contested meet with a winner's all-time low of 38 points to squeeze by Florida, 36Vz; Auburn, 34, and Tennessee, 33Vs. Louisiana State, pre-meet favorite, was the only team in the con-r vergence to vacillate to any extent. Failure of their high hurdle potentials was the Bengals' alibi for not finishing higher than fifth. It was the first time in conference history that LSU had finished low«r than second. # * * • '• THE TENSENESS which dwelt in the stands before the final event, the mile relay, was terrific. Two trophies, one each for the winners of the meet and the mile relay, hinged on the race since four teams, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama and Florida, could win the championship by taking first place in the baton carry. These four had 33 %, 33, 33, and 32 V2 points, in that order, before the day's finale. . .... wins 440. When Ed Bick, Bama's top duar-ter- miler, led the pack home to give Alabama a sudden death league crown, its second in three years, Crimson coach Hodges was carried from the field on. his prodigies' shoulders. AUBURN'S R E L A Y TEAM, Capt. Duncan Bryant, Creel, Tommy Tate and Johnson, ran what was probably the most spirited relay of their lives to finish a respectable fifth. Tate, normally a half-miler, had never run the 440 in less than 52 seconds, but Saturday hi*ran a 50.3 lap. His efforts was representative of the foursome's Concentrated desire to win. Fickling retained ah Auburn IN A FK1EHDLY ATMOSPHERE SEAFOOD STEAKS CHICKEN You'll like our courteous help and pleasant surroundings. '% DON JOHNSON string of high hurdle victories which began in 1947, beating Florida's ace, Lincoln Knowles, by five yards. The gangling Macon-ite's time of 14.9 was the same as in the preliminaries Friday. Creel, Auburn's top point-maker with 9V4, won his specialty, the 220, over LSU's heralded Charley Johnson, who faltered 10 yards from the finish. His win evened the score with Johnson, who had beat him in the century. * * * DILLION REBROKE his conference discus mark with a 164', eYz" throw. The NCAA discus champion also placed third in the shot put and fifth in the javelin. His disappointment in not equal-lingw »his..i70-plus twirl in the t ^Southern ftelays may be attributed to the rain which drizzled steadily during the event. Johnson, the Bessemer sensation coached by ex-Auburn Snitz Snider prior to his entrance to the Plains, won his heat in the 440 Friday, as everyone took each step with him for fear the Olympic prospect would repull a leg muscle hurt more than a month ago. In the finals; he passed the last man between him and victory about 150 yards from the taut string, then coasted in for a 48.8 quarter and first place. MASSIVE ED BAUER, failing to qualify for the shot finals, was second to Dillion in the discus trials, but wavered to a third place finish behind LSU's Ralph Mc- Leod during Saturday's competition. Allan Parks picked up two points for Auburn in the pole vault as he was involved in a three-way tie for third place with Florida's Billy Harper and Tech's Dick Ralston, with the bar at 12 feet, 6 inches. The Plainsmen's other vaulting hopeful, freshman Jim Spann, endured a bad day in the event and failed to finish in the "money." Tennessee's (Alfred Holmberg, who broke the mile and two-mile records with 4:16.2 and 9:18.5 times in the respective distances, received the T. Willie Hutchins Trophy annually awarded to the most outstanding athelete of the day. s. * * OTHER FIRST place winners were Alabama's Carl Shield in the shot-put (51 feet, 6 inches); Tech's Ed Baskin in the javelin (200 feet, 9% inches); Tennessee's Frank Albertson, who erased the 15-year-old half-mile mark of 1:54.0 with a 1:52.8 run; LSU's Johnson in the broad jump (23 feet, 11V4 inches); Mississippi State's Elmo Branch in the high jump (six feet, seven inches—a new record), and Mississippi State's Jerry Simmons in the 220 low hurdles (:24.6).

"i STUDENTS Georgia Melts Snow, Beats Auburn, To Squelch Tigers' Baseball Hopes By Larry Conner Auburn's long, uphill bid for the SEC Eastern Division baseball championship fell short in the last game of the season Wednesday as the Tigers fell to Georgia 10-4, after whipping the Bulldogs 6-1 Tuesday. The Tigers' big right-hander, Buck Bradberry, "kept the Plainsmen's waning title hopes alive Tuesday, as he tossed a neat three-hitter past baffled Bulldog batsmen. The "Blazer" had a no-hitter going for five innings, until the Georgians came up with two hits and their only run in the sixth inning. * * S: V v AUBURN scored two runs in the second, one in the fourth, one in the sixth, and two more in the eighth inning. In Wednesday's pay-off game, the Bulldogs knocked Tiger starting pitcher Ernie Snow out in the second inning with a four-run outburst. Gene Hoehle relieved Snow and went the rest of the way for Auburn. The Bulldogs pecked away at him for one run in the fourth and fifth, three in the seventh and a final run in the eighth. PITCHER Jackie Roberts of Georgia was a hard man to beat at bat or on the mound; in addi- NOTICE Seniors who are to be graduated May 31 are reminded to pick up their gowns at Burton's Bookstore Thursday, May 29, or Friday, May 30. tion to giving up only five scattered hits to Tiger hitters, he also collected a double and a single to help further his own cause. Zeke Bratkowski rapped out two home runs, for Georgia; one was good for three runs in the second inning uprising, which was so hot that Snow melted. Jim Wal-loy's triple was the big blow for Auburn in the Tigers' final appearance of the season. i : Westminster Defeated By Newmanites, 10-8 Newman edged out "Westminster, 10-8, in the only church league softball game played last week. Canterbury forfeited to Church of Christ in the other scheduled clash. Llewellyn paced the winners with three of his team's 12 hits. Larue, Wiltsie and Wise supplied two each for Newman.

This |is the inost unusual question the Auburn Library has been tasked, according to Dr. C. H. Cantrell, director of libraries. "The Auburn Library is one of the few that could find tension interests of the college, and to remain alert on n ew developments in the l i b r a r y field. "About 165,000 volumes are in t h e library, with approximately 22,000 books in branch libraries on the campus," Dr. Cantrell said. "Since 1945, the staff has been looking forward to the time when a larger, functionally planned and fully serviceable l i b r a r y may be built at A.P.I." About 10,000 to 15,000 volumes comprise the reference collection. Dr. Cantrell said that he believed those who wanted to read for pleasure would find time for it. The fiction books the students ask for are usually the same ones that are on top of the best-seller lists. At present, the library is having many requests for The Caine Mutiny and A Man Called Peter. A special feature of the library i t h e , answer to such a question, Dr. Cantrell said. "We found that t h e poet was Jaufre Rudel of France who lived in the ye^rs just, before the Renaissance." I n addition to unusual questions, the library staff answers hundreds of routine inquiries about such m a t t e r s as how to use t h e card catalog and periodical indexes. * * * THE TREMENDOUS job of running a college, l i b r a ry is handled by a staff of 25 regular employees and about 25 part-time student assistants who work from 10 to 25 hours a week. Duties of this staff are to obtain and process requested library materials, to service them, to aid readers seeking information, to coordina t e the work of the l i b r a r y staff and t h e ' l i b r a r y collections with t h e teaching, research and ex- 8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 21, 1952 ETA KAPPA NU PICKS HOLMES PRESIDENT Charles H o l m e s , LaFayette: was recently elected president of Xi chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, na tional engineering honorary.

Two recently purchased microf i lm reading machines are another of the library's special feat u r e s . Microfilms are being used to complete files of certain periodicals which are now out of print.
