Kurtz Will Conduct
Houston Symphony
At Concert Today
Ania Dorfman Appears As Soloist
In Concert And Lecture Feature
By Dave Laney
The Houston Symphony Orchestra under its musical
director and conductor, Efrem Kurtz, will present two per­formances
today at the student activities building. These con­certs,
a feature of the A.P.I. Concert and Lecture series, will
consist of a young people's concert at 1 p.m. and an evening
concert at 8:,15. SSttuuddeennttss may
gain admission to the evening
concert by presentation of their
student activity books. Tickets to
the afternoon performance are on
sale at $1 each.
The two concerts will give
special prominence to two Rus-fcian
exiles, Conductor Kurtz and
Piano Soloist Ania Dorfmann,
both of whom fled their native
country as a result of the Russian
Revolution.
Kurtz, the sixth maestro of the
Houston Symphony which origi­nated
in 1913, was made conduc­tor
in January, 1948, when he re­organized
the orchestra by travel­ing
about the United States and
selecting the 85 most competent
musicians Of 500 applicants. He
made his debut in the United
States in 1937 as guest conductor
of the New York Philharmonic-
Symphony Orchestra, responding
to a request by Arturo Toscanini
who was then leader of the or­chestra.
Conductor Kurtz has
conducted symphony orchestras
on six continents, the first being
Europe.
Kurtz's first recording-was the
"Saber Dance" which became a
top seller overnight. His latest
recordings made with the Hous­ton
Symphony include symphonic
arrangements of "South Pacific"
and "Kiss Me Kate."
Mme. Ania Dorfmann made her
debut in the United States in 1936
when she was asked by Toscanini
to appear as piano soloist with
the NBC Symphony at Carnegie
Hall. Since then, she has appeared
throughout the United States as
soloist with all major symphony
prchestras including the New
York Philharmonic-Symphony,
the Boston Symphony, and the
Philadelphia Orchestra. "She is
the soloist dreamed of by any
symphonic conductor" said the
Chicago Herald-American, fol­lowing
one of Mme. Dorfmann's
performances.
"They are young in years, but
old in experience," said Conduct­or
Kurtz when speaking of the
orchestra's musicians whose aver­age
age is 28. Names of virtuosi-musicians,
long well-known in the
profession, are intermingled with
those of younger instrumentalists
who came highly recommended
from the best conservatories.
Wrote the Chicago Tribune of
the Houston Symphony: "A crisp,
competent orchestra. The "players
are young . . . there is a bold,
clean line to the best of their
work, and they can handle, an
adroitly-scaled mass of climatic
tone."
The activities of the Houston
Symphony for the 1950-51 season
include five free "pop" programs,
26 weekly broadcasts, 50 out-of-ttown
engagement, and nine other
student concerts.

THE EARL OF BROWN JOUSTS NO MORE
Draughon Approves Recommendation;
Displaced Coach To Be Paid In Full
By Gordon Higgins
A unanimous recommendation of the faculty athletic com­mittee
brought about the termination of Auburn Head Foot­ball
Coach Earl Brown's present one-year contract extension
Sunday and brought to a climax weeks of alumni unrest over
the plight of Auburn football. The recommendation, approved
by A.P.I. Pres. Ralph Draughon,
specified that Brown be paid in
full for the year his contract has
to run. At press time, no word
as to who Brown's successor might
be was available.
In an announcement late Sun­day
afternoon, A.P.I, publicity
director L. O. Brackeen released
the committee recommendation
which said that after considering
the various aspects of the situa­tion,
the ; athletic committee re­commended
that Brown's contract
be bought up for the remaining
period which extends to Jan. 31,
1952.
Athletic Director Wilbur Hut-s^
ell has been authorized to set up
a committee to screen candidates
HEAD COACH Earl Brown was let out as Auburn football
mentor Sunday upon recommendation of the faculty athletic com­mittee.
Brown's position had been under fire for a number of
weeks. (A.P.I, photo by Barton Perry).

Intramural Debate
Begins February ^0
The Auburn Debate Council
announced last week the dates of
the Fourth Annual Intramural
Debate Tournament. Entrance ar­rangements
- have been made for
social fraternities and sororities
and any other individuals or
groups who desire to participate.
The tournament will be February
20-26.
This year's debate subject is
"Resolved: That All Young Men
Upon Reaching The Age of 18
Should Serve Two Years In The
Military Service."
This much discussed problem is
akin to "draft," which is one of
the most controversial questions
on the campus, according to a
random polling of Auburn stu­dents.
Trophies will be^ awarded the
winning fraternity, sorority, and
independent teams. The fraternity
and sorority cups will remain in
possession of the winners for a
one-year period. Any organization
winning the trophy three times
will retain it permanently. Alpha
Tau Omega won the trophy for
the third time last year while the
Phi Mu's won for the second time.
The independent cup is on dis­play
in the speech offices, Samford
Hall.
Gold and silver keys will be
awarded individual finalists in
each of the three divisions.
Detailed instructions and entry
banks relative to the tournainent
may be obtained from members
of the Debate Council. These en­tries
must be returned to the di­rector
of the tournament, Robert
H. Bryson, ATO House, or director
of debate, Prof. Joseph Mahaffey,
Samford 308, by 4 p.m., Thursday,

Kelly said today. The drive will
continue through 5 p.m. Friday,

PREPPING FOR 'DOWN IN THE VALLEY'
DIRECTOR CHARLES BENTLEY holds the music, Janet
Moore, Montgomery, furnishes the accompaniment as Betty Jordan,
Gainesville, practices for her part in the Kurt Weill operetta,
"Down in the Valley," which will be presented in Langdon Hall
February 19 and 20. (A.P.I, photo by Barton. Perry).
for a replacement. After the
screening committee has cut the
field down to at least three men,
the faculty athletic committee will
make the final recommendation,
subject to approval by President
Draughon. Two men, Norman
Cooper, line coach at L.S.U. and
Ralph "Sug" Jordan, Georgia as­sistant
coach, have been mention­ed
most prominently as replace­ments,
with Allyn McKeen, for­mer
head coach at Mississippi
State, being termed a dark horse.
The committee recommendation,
a result of a two-hour conference
Sunday in addition to much pre­vious
study, appeared to have
been expected in many circles.
Prominent newsmen from various
Alabama and Georgia newspapers
were in Auburn at the time the
news was released.
Brown had been under fire for
some time. Various alumni groups
have recently been circulating pe­titions
demanding Brown's ous­ter.
Also Gov. Gordon Persons
had previously asked that the Au­burn
mentor be dismissed but this
move had been over-ruled by a
21-man committee that met at
the governor's mansion January
19. Since, this time, the governor
has kept "hands off" the Auburn
coaching situation. He declined
to comment on the recent develop­ment.
Of all persons directly involved
in the recent events, only Brown
would make public comment: In
a series of widely-quoted state­ments,
Brown expressed his re­sentment
at the ouster. As far as
Plainsman reporters could deter­mine,
student reaction to Brown's
statements was along thev line of
dismissing them as ill-advised,
spur-of-the-moment evidences of
the coach's disappointment at his
dismissal. Said junior Bill Wilson,
Birmingham, "I doubt seriously
that Coach Brown would have
said all that he said in the man­ner
that he did if he had had
time to consider it. Certainly
this would not be the case if he
loves Auburn as he says he does.
I'm afraid that some of the quotes
he gave the state papers were
somewhat detrimental to the
school, but I don't believe he in­tended
to be vindictive—he was
merely letting off steam . . . I
hope that this latest development
will stabilize the situation . . .
I have the utmost faith in Doctor
Draughon and the athletic com­mittee."
In an editorial appearing on
page four of today's Plainsman,
the paper gives editorial support
to the athletic committee recom­mendation.
At press time, no information
was available as to what Brown
planned to do, although there were
rumors that he might be offered
a position, possibly as a basket­ball
coach at Notre Dame, where
he was an All-American football
and basketball player in the 1930's.
Text of the committee recom­mendation
was:
"The faculty athletic committee
of the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute,
after weighing repeatedly
since Oct. 16, 1950, the circum­stances
surrounding the football
situation and after exhausting ev­ery
hope of stabilizing it without
recommending that changes be
made; and after reviewing the re­port
of the athletic director; and
taking into full account the crisis
which now exists, recommends
unanimously:
"(1) That the services of head
football coach Earl M. Brown be
terminated as of Feb. 12, 1951, and
"(2) That Coach Brown be paid
in full for the remainder of the
period of his contract which ex­tends
through Jan. 31, 1952.

Illustrated Booklet
Released By RIS
An illustrated booklet on the
effects of alcohol was released
recently by the Research Inter­pretation
Service of Auburn.
Entitled "Of Cats and People",
the pamphlet is described by Dr.
Paul Irvine, RlS director, as "an
educational approach to one of
America's most serious health and
social problems."
The booklet tells the story of a
series of scientific experiments
performed by noted psychologists
and. interprets a group of results
of these experiments.
"The new approach in prepa­ration
of education materials is
used," said D o c t o r Irvine.
"Known as the modified comic­book
form, it consists of a 'page
of cartoons and captions followed
by a page of highly readable text.
The recent success of similar
bulletins indicates that this is ah
effective medium for reaching
young people and adults alike."

Bringing Up Alathon*
All "Alathon"—ice-cube trays, refrigerator
bowls, tableware and protective coverings.
Du Pont scientists find
great promise in this young
member of the wax family
One of t h e most interesting and Ver­satile
of t h e new plastics is D u Pont
"Alathon" polythene resin, chemical
cousin of paraffin.
Because of its unusual combination
of properties, it is now being used in
everything from "squeeze-bottles"
for toiletries to cable insulation and
chemical-resistant linings.
"Alathon" was born when English
scientists used high-pressure synthe­sis
to create polythene, the solid and
semi-solid polymers of ethylene.
Du Pont scientists and others
added their background in high pres­sure
work to the field of ethylene
polymers. This concerted effort pro­duced
a greatly expanded range of
uses.
Taking First Stepi
The first step of Du Pont chemists
and engineers was to produce poly­thene
in the laboratory to confirm
earlier findings. Then the product
was turned over to chemical engi­neers
for pilot-plant work. Finally, a
plant for full-scale commercial pro­duction
was designed by chemical,
mechanical and electrical engineers
and metallurgists.
Many of the most promising uses
for "Alathon" could not be teal&Sed
until technical difficulties were over*
come. For example, t h e chemical in­ertness,
which is one of t h e outstand­ing
properties of the material in film
form, also made the casting of film
from solution impractical because it
could not be dissolved in suitable
solvents. I n devising a special extru­sion
technique to solve this problem,
Du Pont engineers opened u p a whole
new field of possibilities.
Blow-molded "Alathon" bottle, with molded
closure. It emits a fine spray when squeezed.
Multlwall bad* for chemicals and foods are
made of kraftpaper coated with "Alathon"
Acid-Defying Paper
I n film form, "Alathon" lends its
strength, chemical inertness and re-
' sistance to grease and moisture to
packages for chemicals, foods, metal
parts and moisture-sensitive pow­ders.
I n still another form in which
these properties are employed, paper
coated with "Alathon" is used aa
wrapping for bakery products and
moistureproof containers for chem­icals
that would attack uncoated
paper. (Experimentally, "Alathon"
coated paper has been exposed to con­centrated
sulfuric acid for days with­out
harm; the same paper, uncoated,
Was ruined within a few minutes.)
The protection of "Alathon" was
extended to metal tanks and drums
when Du Pont engineers developed
a spray-flaming coating technique.
I n the field of electricity, too,
"Alathon" is proving of great value.
I t s outstanding electrical properties
Pipe made of "Alathon" is used for handling
corrosive chemicals, solutions and gases.
make it an ideal insulator for wire
and cable, particularly in the high-frequency
applications necessary in
television and radar.
"Alathon" in powder form is used
for molding a wide range of light,
tough and flexible plastic articles.
I n addition to bottles, these include
tumblers, dishes, jar caps and ice­cube
trays. Extruded as a film, it
serves for garment covers, tablecloths
and rainwear. *.
The future looks bright for "Ala­thon."
New applications such as ex­truded
p(pe for mines and separators
for storage batteries seem about to be
realized. Other uses yet undreamed
of will no doubt emerge from the
close, continuous teamwork of tech­nical
men that typifies Du Pont
research. "RES. ». s. PAT. OFF.

State Ranks Fifth
In School Effort
According to the National Edu­cation
Association, Alabama ranks
fifth among the 12 Southern
states in its effort to support pub­lic
schools. By "effort" is meant
the per cent of income payments
spent to operate schools.
In 1949 Alabama spent 2.60 per
cent of its income payments to
operate its public schools. Four
states spent a larger percentage:
Louisiana (2.98), North Carolina
(2.90), South Carolina (2.88),
Mississippi (2.70). S o u t h e rn
states spending a lower percentage
of their income on public schools
were Arkansas (2.39), Florida
(2.31), Tennessee (2.28), Kentuc­ky
(2.20), Georgia (2.18), Texas
(2.03), and Virginia (2.0).
Based on income payments
Texas was the wealthiest of the
12 Southern states listed, its
income'in 1949 totaling $9,265,-
000,000. For the same year Ala­bama's
income payments totaled
$2,313,000,000. Second richest was
Virginia, with income payments
totaling $3,441,000,000. Of this
sum Virginia spent 2.0 per cent
on its schools.

Susan Smith Cottage, women's
co-op dormitory, is the home of.
26 girls each quarter. These girls
must have had a "B" average in
high school and possess recom­mendations
from five civic leaders
of their town, .including their
pastor and principal, to be admit­ted
to Susan Smith.
The cottage was named for Mrs.
Susan Smith, late A.P.I. President
Duncan's mother-in-law, who took
an active interest in aiding girls
who might not otherwise be able
to a t t e n d college. The girls
pay $5 per month for repairs and
utilities. The meals are planned
by the girls who run the house as
if it were their own home. Mrs.
Janie Rouse of Americus, Ga., is
their housemother at the present
time. There was no housemother
until 1944. The girls live under the
WSGA rules with certain modifi­cations.
Everything is run in an efficient
manner by the girls who have
two shifts of 12 which alternate
in doing the household duties.
These shifts work one week and
then swap chores. The girls may
give parties, with college permis­sion.
The occupants of Susan Smith
Cottage are very proud of their
Auburn home and maintain that it
not only helps deserving girls
through college, but teaches demo­cracy
and co-operation. There is
no doubt that the cottage is an
asset to the Auburn campus. Of­ficers
are:
President, Fanny Beverly, Eu-faula;
vice-president, Jean Fin-cher,
Weedowee; secretary, Caro­lyn
Ennis, Equality; dietician,
Joyce Durham, Harvest; house
manager, Joyce Webster, Notasul-ga;
house keeper, Sarah Hicks,
Headland, and social chairman,
Ila Mizell, Clio.
Todoy and Thursday
IVlelancholy and dejected, this gloomy miss
found little to titillate her in the recent deluge of quick-trick
cigarette tests! She was not enthralled by the idea
judging cigarette mildness with just a fast puff or a single sniff.
But, joy of j o y s ! . . . happiness came to her when she
discovered one test that left no doubt in her mind.
It was the sensible test! . . . the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test,
which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke —
on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap judgments
needed. After you've enjoyed Camels — and only
Camels - for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat,
T for Taste) we believe you'll know why . . .
More People Smoke Camels
than any other cigarette!

After Much Discussion
After much discussion—more con than
pro, more public than private—by Auburn
aiurfthi, faculty, students, supporters and
non-sUpporters, the tenure of Earl Brown
as head football coach has been terminated
through recommndation of the faculty ath­letic
committee.
I
In view of all things involved, we
wholeheartedly support the committee in
its decision. We do not reverse our pre­vious
support of Brown as football coach
but rather state that the issue has far out-grown
the proportions of his relative coach­ing
ability by the time the athletic com­mittee
made its unanimous recommenda­tion:
Ih our opinion, the committee did the
Wisest possible thing, under the circum­stances.
With Earl Brown remaining as football
coach, Auburn Was in a bad position in a
number of respects. Whether we deplore
alumni intervention and pressure in ath­letic'
matters or not, the alumni are a very
strong factor to consider since athletics are
the big link the school has with the alumni,
and alumni support is essential to a
school's well-being. And this support would
have been very slow in coming as long as
Earl Brown held the Auburn coaching
reins. This is attested by the tremendous
amount . of opposition various alumni
groups have evidenced in recent months.
From a financial standpoint, the amount of
money the athletic association stood to lose
as long as Brown remained would be up­wards
of $75,000, We can't get around the
fact that alumni and the general public buy
the tickets and-they don't buy tickets when
they are dissatisfied with the set-up.
For these reasons, we firmly support
Quizzes During REW?
"It becomes not a law-maker to be a law-breaker"
the decision of the athletic committee.
As for the hectic period of bad publicity
for all concerned that was brought to a
climax by the committee recommendations
and resulting comment, we "earnestly hope
that the flow of poor public relations mat­erial
will be stopped immediately. Brown
himself, his assistants, Athletic Director
Wilbur Hutsell, Governor Gordon Persons,
Pres. Ralph Draughon, various influential
alumni and, most important, the school,
ha\7e been on the receiving end of a tre­mendous
amount of publicity, little of it
favorable.
All of the above-mentioned have been
popular targets for comment and criticism
of late. The athletic department has been
more cussed than discussed, the governor
has been accused of high-handness, alumni
have been denounced as "intimidators,"
and the president and the institution have
received more than a little news coverage
of a rather poor public relations nature.
Of these, we greatly deplore any com­ment
detrimental to the institution—it has
no place in plans for a Greater Auburn.
And, we regret that anything other than
favorable has been said of Ralph Draught
on with respect to his handling of tne
touchy situation of the past months. In our
opinion, nothing but praise can be directed
toward Draughon for his diplomatic hand­ling
of the meeting at the Governor's man­sion.
And his obliviOus-to-pressure adher­ence
to what he thought was an obligation
to Brown, and which he still saw fulfilled
when Brown was paid in full upon term­ination
of contract, deserve nothing but re­spect
and admiration; He has the complete
support of The Plainsman on his handling
of the whole situation.
Bias
Prior to the recent Religious Emphasis
Week, the Council of Deans passed a rul­ing
stating that no quizzes were to be given
during REW. However, word has come to
Us that more than one instructor violated
this ruling and scheduled a quiz during the
four-sehool-day period. We cannot vouch
for the validity of these reports since we
had none ourselves but the persons who
passed the information on to us expressed
certainty that the information was correct
^that Some instructors had violated the
ruling. . • .,,
Certainly We hope that this is not the
Case. We hope that we have no instructors
here at Auburn Who feel that their own
petty quiz schedules supersede an edict
passed by the assembled deans of Auburn's
10 Schools. And, we hope that we have no -
instructors here who are so unprincipled
as to spring quizzes Upon their classes after
the students had been assured by the Coun­cil
of Deans that no quizzes were to be
given-.
However, we have very good reason to
believe that this species of instructor' is hot
extinct here--in fact we aren't even sure
that the representative of the species -is
Unique. We have heard reports consigning
at least three instructors to this category
and although We are not positive that the
reports are correct, we intend to find out.
We urge every student who knows of
and Can either produce proof (or direct us
to the securing of proof) of quizzes, in any
form, being given during the period of Feb­ruary
4-8, to bring the information to us at
t h e Plainsman office. We give our word
that the student's name will be kept confi­dential
and that the instructor's name Will
not. We Will turn the information over to
the Council of Deans for their action.
That the Council of Deans will take ac­tion
on the matter should the reports prove
true and the information be turned over to
the council, We do not doubt. Instructors'
failure to abide by council rulings cannot
be construed as any less serious or deserv­ing
any less condemnation that students'
viol&tiohs. And in order that it may con­tinue
to claim the respect of those coming
under the jurisdiction of its rulings, the
Council of Deans must be status-blind in
its consideration of violations.
The Plainsman has expressed itself be­fore
on the subject of the council's ruling
pertaining to the cutting of classes prior to
and following the Thanksgiving holidays.
We have questioned the advisability of the
council's mandate that anyone having an
unexcUsed absence at either of these times
would receive automatic scholastic proba­tion.
However, we have not questioned the
council's right to make such a ruling, nor
its right, or rather duty to see to its en­forcement
and the punishment of students
who violated it. Having once passed a rul­ing,
whether it affects students, instruc­tors,
or both, the council is duty-bound to
carry it out.
The Council of Deans has seen to the
carrying-out of its Thanksgiving holiday
edict and it must see to it that the no-quiz-during-
REW ruling is carried out and of­fenders
punished in whatever manner is at
hand. The manner at hand would probably
be no more than a reprimand but whatever
the action taken the offenders must be
shown that no matter what their status—
instructors or not—they are just as much
subject to abiding by the council's rulings
as are students.
Students violating the council's Thanks­giving
holiday ruling are punished by scho­lastic
probation—in the case of students
already on probation this would mean sus­pension—
and to our way of thinking, in­structors
deserve no special consideration
merely because they are on the faculty.
They must be identified and punished as
are students.
Again we urge students to turn all
available information over to us. In the
event that substantial information is pro­duced,
we will follow it up and report what
is done about it. In the event that substan­tial
information is not produced, we will
let the matter drop with a retraction, and
instructors who violated the ruling this
year will be free to do so again next year.

Columnist Discusses Dirty Subject
By Jimmy Everett
I hate mud! It is nothing more than a geological gel intend­ed
only for hogs, women wrestlers, infantrymen, beauty com­pounds,
and slinging. It is unproductive, like writers turned
historians, and being unable to sprout peas, assumed a morassic
state.
It has been denounced by Pope Pius, Orphan Annie, Shirley
Temple, and Elwood P. Dowd.
Now, just several days ago, I had an un­fortunate
experience with a fenny portion of
the campus. Happily humming bits of relig­ious
hymns (it was Religious Emphasis
Week) I came from my early morning class
on Vet Hill to the ex-cornfield, recently con­verted
to a parking lot. •
I Was greatly embarrassed when the tread-less
tires on my flivver refused to dig into
the plashy parking lot. Coeds were watching.
They giggled and pointed and said, "Look
at that fool! He can't even drive." I yelled for Dean Sugg but
was drowned out by the Azalea Hall construction machines.
Remembering my Boy Scout training, I hastily built an obser­vation
tower and peered toward the Buildings and Grounds
headquarters. No help was in sight.

Warned the friend that he overused the expression, "here's mud
in your eye." Ignoring my advice he unconsciously waded
home in the mud one .night, and, losing his rubbers, caught
triple pneumonia, lumbago, and a severe case of sniffles. His
epitaph read:
Here lies the body of Jake O'Looney,
Great nephew of Herman Talmadge, commonly
Called the Sublime.
He was
Bland, passionate, and deeply religious.
Also, he painted in water-colours,
And sent several pictures to the Exhibition.
He Was first cousin to Lady Jones,
And of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Thinking of Jake, saloons, bars and such, I thought of the
barroom lights in Langdon. Hall and cursed. Flashing neon
lights advocating No Smoking that flick off and on at 30
second intervals are worse than mud.
I rallied from deep thought at the kick of a Vet Hill mule,
an escapee from the Small Animal Clinic, and tried to imagine
what Benjamin Franklin would have done in such a situation.

'What'll I Do With My Cadillac?1
Writer Discusses Parking Problem
By Jim Jennings
A parking problem of major proportions has developed for
the residents of Magnolia Hall since the construction of the
new dormitory for men began.
Before the construction was started a large number of the
approximately 100 cars operated by residents of Magnolia Hall
were parked behind the present
Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama
Subscription rates by mail: $i.00 for 3 months, $3.00 for 12 months
dorm. This is now impossible and
combined with tightening of the
parking restrictions on Magnolia
and Cox streets, it makes the
problem of finding parking space
very difficult.
Parking on Cox street is limited
to a small area oh one side of the
street, within a block of the dorm­itory.
On Magnolia street parking
is restricted to one side of the
street directly in front of Magnolia
Hall.
This writer did not see adequate
reason for these restrictions until
their necessity was demonstrated
to him by a member of the Au­burn
Junior Chamber of Com­merce
Safety Committee. The re­strictions
were placed on these
streets as part of a program of
parking limitations being placed
on streets in all parts of Auburn.
A number of the car-owning re­sidents
of Magnolia Hall resent
deeply the parking restrictions and
the number of parking tickets that
have been issued during the past
week. This writer can see their
point of view but law enforcement
officers should not be criticized for
carrying out a law, as long as the
law is reasonable and the officers
do not make unreasonable use of
their authority. This writer hopes
that the enforcement officers have
not been and will not be unrea­sonable
in the use of their author­ity
in enforcing the traffic restric­tions
on Cox and Magnolia streets.
It would be easy to criticize
buildings and grounds officials for
not having anticipated the park­ing
problem and for not at least
having definite long-range plans
for solving the parking problem
if not having provided adequate
parking areas to accomodate the
cars of the residents of Magnolia
Hall. Certainly there is not ade­quate
parking space for the pre­sent
dormitory and for the most
part, long range plans for solv­ing
the parking problems of both
dormitories are hazy. However the
problem exists, whatever the
cause, and passing criticism is not
going to solve it.
In an interview Sam Brewster,
head of the buildings and grounds
department, stated that there are
three possible permanent parking
installations being considered and
one temporary improvement, al­though
little progress has been
made to date toward the imme­diate
development of any of these
projects.
The temporary improvement
consists of utilization of more
space east of Magnolia Hall. Large
scale "or permanent development
of that area for parking is im­possible
because the building con­tractor
will soon be using that
area for supplies and, in addition,
a dormitory is planned for that
area in the future.
The first of two ideas for per ma-ment
parking areas that could be
developed in the immediate future
is to widen Magnolia street to
permit diagonal parking on the
south side of the street. This
would enable roughly twice the
number of cars to be parked along
the street than is the present case
with parallel parking.
The widening of Magnolia street
would have to be a joint opera­tion
of the city and the school.
This writer hopes that cooperation
can be achieved in making this
prospect a reality in the near fu­ture
and would like to suggest
that some student group work
toward getting this idea accepted
by the school and city officials.
Mr. Brewster stated that he would
give the project all the support
that he could give.
The second permanent installa­tion
possible in the immediate, fu­ture
is the development of park­ing
areas on the old golf course
directly across the Wire Road from
the Alpha Psi house. This area
offers the largest 'parking space
and should be developed as soon
as possible.
Additional permanent parking
space will be provided along the
road to be paved in front of the
dormitory now under construc­tion.
However, this is not likely
to be available for use sooner than
a year to 18 months from now.

forced to increase their charges
in order to remain solvent.
Having been

confronted with
HIP a raise in board
•''•'"•* last quarter, I
was very much
i n t e r ested in
the system a-dopted
at the
University o f
K a n s as. The
I n terf raternity
Council of that
school institut­ed
a method of
cooperative buying in an effort to
keep food expense down.
At first, only bread and milk
purchases were included in the
plan, but now it has been ex­panded
to include the purchase of
ice cream, meat, canned goods,
and coffee.
In an effort to balance the bud­get,
one organization on the cam­pus
made an exhaustive study of
food prices in this area. In com­parison
with dealers in Birming­ham,
Montgomery and Atlanta,
the cost of food from wholesalers
in Auburn, Opelika and Columbus
was found by the group to be ex-horbitant.
Plans were made to start buy­ing
from the firms in other plac-
•es, but the increased cost of trans­portation
ruled out this possibili­ty!
The added expenses was due
to the cost of shipping the small
quantities that One house could
buy.
If a cooperative plan were set
up on the campus, this difficulty
could be easily overcome. With
a large number of fraternity hous­es
participating in the plan, food
could be delivered by the truck-load.
•
The exact mechanism of the
plan would have to be worked
out by the interested organisms.
A possible method would be to
establish a central agency of some
type. The housemanager of each
group could make up his order
and submit it to a selected per­son,,
who would make the pur­chases
from the wholesalers.
Money could probably be saved
by having the dealers deliver the
goods to one place and then let­ting
each organization pick up its
order.
A good bit of work would be
necessary to establish the agency,
but I believe, it would work if
the different groups would cooper­ate.
It would certainly be much
better than paying the high prices
that are now charged in this area.
it to a final vote Monday. If the
plan passes, the Auburn student
will at last be able to get a fair
price for the books he no longer
needs! As the plan now stands,
books in good condition will be
sold for three fourths their origi­nal
price and others will be sold
for one half original price. That
is just about two or three times as
much as we're getting at the local
book stores.
Alhough the book stores will
probably be very much against
the student book exchange, I un­derstand
the other local mer­chants
are eagerly looking for­ward
to the extra money that will
be in circulation. They claim that
it is a very good plan on the part
of the students and that it will
make for better and more equal
distribution of profits.
Of course, in the end it will be
their profit, but it will have
helped the student to obtain a
few more worldly luxuries that
will make his like in the "Love­liest
Village" just a little brighter.
I figure that if I work it right, I
may even have enough money to
put in my billfold to warrant the
removal of the piece of waxed
paper that now keeps the sides
from sticking together.
All joking aside, though, if the
plan passes, aid it seems reason­able
to assume that it will, it will
benefit all students. To put the
book exchange in a position to do
the best job, though, will take
the cooperation of the entire stu­dent
body. Unless a large number
of students patronize the book ex­change,
it will not be able to give
the service it desires to give, nor
will it merit the hard work on
the part of those who will have
the responsibility of running it.
Lets back Alpha Phi Omega,
the Student Executive Cabinet,
and faculty advisors who will
have the job of operating the stu­dent
book exchange and make
this new project the success it
should be.

More and More By Gene Moore
One day last week I chanced to
be standing near the greeting card
counter in a local drugstore when
a callow youth, looking like a
Young Man with Things on His
Mind, - approached the valentine
display. He swallowed to excess.
As the young man stood beside
the valentine rack, puffing at
intervals on an unlit cigarette, he
seemed extremely interested in ac­tivities
at the soda fountain across
the aisle. Occasionally, though, he
would glance down at the assorted
flora, fauna, hearts' and cupids
which adorned the counter.
Then, growing bolder, he looked
around to make certain he wasn't
being observed and leaned over to
inspect an especially eye-catching
card. His quick movement had not
gone unnoticed, however. A sales­girl
sidled up to him. She was
chewing gum. At her "C'n I help
yez?" he jumped about 3 feet, 4
inches into the air.
"Aw, I dunno," he gasped, swal­lowing
his cigarette to show his
nonchalance. "I just happened to
be Standin' here. Thought I might
buy a valentine for some old girl
I know. Guess I'll come back
some other time." •
He started away, but Gum-
Chewer pulled him back. "Here's
one I'm sure she'll like." The girl
produced a thick, clumsy-looking
card and winked at the boy. "Hot-cha,"
she said. Looking as if he'd
rather come back some other time,
the youth took a deep breath and
began to read:
"Some boys like roses,
Others like cowslips;
But what I'd most like from you
Is a chance at those gorgeous—"
When he opened the valentine,
letters two inches high spelled out
"TULIPS!", and some puckered
red plastic lips, two in number,
leaped into his face and quivered
at the end of a coil spring. Under­neath
the place where the spring
was written, "What do you say,
kiddo?" The salesgirl belabored
the poor lad in the ribs with her
elbow and tittered, "Whattaya say,
kiddo? Think she'll go for that?
Hotcha!"
Her customer, wiping his mouth
with the back of his hand and
redder-faced than ever, choked,
"Aw, I dunno. That one's pretty
nice, all right, but I guess she—"
"Wait!" the girl interrupted. "This
one's a dilly." She hauled out a
rather heavy celluloid card upon
which was printed in sanguine ink,
"You're My Flame." When the boy
opened the harmless-looking val­entine,
a hidden trigger mecha­nism
ignited it and it went up in a
blaze of glory, singeing his eye­brows.
"Haw, haw," roared the
salesgirl, still masticating. "Ain't
that a beaut?"
"Aw, I dunno," was the reply.
"It's all right, I guess, maybe—"
"Just a minute, Bub," cautioned
the girl between chews. "Here's a
snappy little number that's just
what you're looking for." She
dramatically pulled forth a tre­mendous
hunk of cardboard, load­ed
for bear. It was fashioned in
the shape of a huge heart, and a
fringe ran around its edges. A'
sprig of mistletoe was attached to
its top. When its operator worked
a lever protruding from its side,
a gilded arrow pierced the center
of the heart repeatedly. The first
page read, "To A Good-Looking
Babe" and smelled of attar of
roses, lavender sachets, and nut­meg.
The second page read, "From
A Real He-Man" and smelled of
pine forests, old Russian leather,
and race-horse stables. Hanging
from its nether regions was a piece
of tape which, when properly
scratched with the thumb nail,
produced a noise not unlike "hello
sweetheart." And if the card was
exhibited in a room with no lights,
as the girl pointed out, hitherto in­visible
letters would form the
words "Will You Kiss Me In The
Dark Baby."
"Aw, I dunno," sobbed the
frantic prospective buyer, envious­ly
looking past the salesgirl
toward the door. "I don't think
that's exactly—" The girl cut in,
"Take a look at this one, then.
It's got more life than a news­stand.
Get it? Haw!"
Thirty-seven minutes later the
young man had made his decision.
"Aw, I dunno. I believe I'll take
this one." I looked over the girl's
shoulder as she wrapped the card.
It bore the replica of a heart. The
heart was red. On it, in white
letters, was inscribed) "Be My
Valentine."

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Feb. 14, 1951
Kokomo's Korner By Bill McArdle
WHO WILL HE BE?
The new head football coach at Auburn is still undeter­mined.
As for the plans of Earl Brown, they are unknown.
Brown has wished Auburn good luck and he is certainly en­titled
to the same. Probably no Auburn coach has left without
enemies, but it's also likely that no coach has left devoid of
friends. Too bad everybody can't be a winner.
Ralph (Sug) Jordan, Georgia line coach, and Norman
(Shorty) Cooper, L.S.U. line coach, have been the two men
most often mentioned as a possible successor to Brown. Some
undaunted circles have it that both men will move to Auburn,
Jordan as head coach and Cooper as line coach. If either men
were given the No. 1 spot, it would be the first such position
for him. Jordan is an old Auburn man himself. Cooper is an
alumnus of Howard College in Birmingham.
Jordan, who is set up well in Athens, Ga., might want more
than Auburn will allow its new coach. He is said to have a big
farm near the Georgia campus and might not want to part
with it unless a new job proved profitable.
Cooper is supposed to be a gem at recruiting good football
players. This is in, evidence when one realizes that LSU is
always near the top in the number of scholarships awarded
grid prospects. This year they are second only to Auburn in
SEC athletic grant-in-aids.
Brown's Successor To Be No. 12
Whoever succeedsv Earl Brown as head coach of the
Auburn Tigers will be the twelfth man to hold such a job
here since the grid game first, appeared on the Plains in 1892.
Dr. George Petrie tutored the first Plainsmen eleven
that year, winning two and losing two. Mike Donahue was
the most successful of all Auburn coaches. From 1904 until
1922 Auburn was among the best of the nations football pow-ers.
These years under "beloved Mike" the Tigers had 99 wins,
36 losses and 6 ties. It. is reported by old timers that ex­actly
73 of those Auburn opponents never even came close to
the Tiger goal line.

D. M. Balleit (Princeton)
G. R. Harvey (Cornell)

Take Emory 31-3
By Walter Allbritton
Coach Swede Umbach's Auburn
wrestlers had little trouble in
gaining their fourth victory of the
year in the Sports Arena Tuesday
night as they swamped an out­classed
but determined Emory
team, 31-3.
John McGill, lost by one point,
6-5, in a closely fought bout with
Leon McGahee, Emory. Auburn's
powerful muscle twisters could not
be stopped as they marched to
triumphs in each of the seven re­maining
matches.
Sonny Dragoin, Troy, won in
the 130-pound class with a pin
after one minute and 45 seconds
of. the third round. -The Navy
veteran used a clever and well-or­ganized
style to make Emory's
Malcolm Duggan his fifth victim
of the year.
In the 137-pound division, Rich­ard
Belfonti set a torrid pace as
he pinned Jeff Smith, Emory, in
1:43 seconds of the third round.
The quickest pin of the night for
Auburn was credited to Captain
Robert Long, who quickly wore
his opponent down in the first
round and pinned him in 43 sec­onds
of the second round.
Adding the fifth pin of the list
of five for Auburn was heavy­weight
Dan McNair, New Orleans,
who. stopped Pete Sotus, Emory,
in one minute and 52 seconds of
the second. It was the third pin
of the season for the hefty 205-
pound sophomore.

Baby Tiger Cagers Sink Georgia,
Romp Over Marion Institute Five
By Walter Albritton
Coach Bill Lynn's Baby Tiger Cagers coasted undaunted
t o their t e n t h and eleventh straight victories last week as
t h e y t u r n e d back the University of Georgia Frosh by a safe
margin, 75-67, and romped over the Marion I n s t i t u t e five for
t h e second time by a decisive score of 97-56.
Paced by t o w e r i n g center,
James Martin, the Auburn fresh
SOCKS, SOCKS, AND MORE SOCKS
men racked up an unbelievable
total of 278 points in only one
week's play. In two high-scoring
tilts with Marion Institute, the
Tigers have averaged 102 points
per game, starting the record
week off by setting their season
high of 106 against Marion's 43.
"Jumping Jim" Martin, Greens­boro,
accounted for more than
one-fourth of the week's total.
The six-foot, five-inch hook-shot
artist zipped 56 tallies through the
nets while ranking as top scorer
in two of the three games.
Only two more games remain
t on the frosh schedule—a Satur­day
night return match with the
Alabama freshmen in the Sports
Arena, and another home game
February 23 with Walker County
High School. Auburn is favored
over the 'Bama frosh, having pre­viously
beaten them by a wide
margin in an earlier match.
Although the score was close at
times, the Baby Tigers were out
in front most of the way against
Georgia, and led at halftime 32-
29. Georgia was in command of
the lead only once.
High-scoring Coot Veal, Macon,
Ga., followed Martin in the scor­ing
derby, sinking 17 for Auburn.
Georgia's top-scoring honors went
to Joe Webb who connected 13.
Eleven of Lynn's cagers had a
hand in the scoring of 97 points.
over Marion last Saturday night.
Martin's 19 was high but close
behind were two speedy guards
Vince Dooley and Veal, who bag­ged
16 each. Substitute Skeeter
Hale stepped into the limelight to
cop third place with 11, Bill Fick-ling
followed with 10, and Jack
Turner sacked 6. Jim Dillion and
Robert Fenn each bucketed 4,

with a lofty 49-24 lead.
Tiders Nip Tigers
In Third Cage Clash
Alabama's third straight win
over the Auburn Tigers came last
Saturday night when the Tide
swamped the Plainsmen 63-44.
The victory gave the Capstoners
a clean sweep of this year's series
and avenged a similar drubbing
handed out by Auburn last sea­son.
Taking the lead on a free throw
by Sammy Moore, 'Bama momen­tarily
relinquished it when Roy
Brawner sank a set shot, but
quickly went back out in front on
a layup by Bryant Ivey. The Tid­ers
were never headed again and
led at halftime 28-19. After the
intermission the Elephants in­creased
their lead and at one time
were out in front by 24 points
before the final 63-44 count was
reached.
High point man of the^tilt was
Auburn's Center Dan Pridgen
who outscored Bama's highly re­garded
Paul Sullivan in a battle
of centers. Sullivan who ranks
second to Kentucky's Bill Spivey
in conference point making, net­ted
16 tallies while Pridgen sack­ed
18.
Behind Sullivan in the Cap­stone
scoring was Forward Bry­ant
Ivey with 12 markers and
Guard Jim Grant with 11. For­ward
George Hill was number
two man for Auburn with 7.
The contest gave the Tigers
nine victories against eight de­feats
thus far for the season.

Auburn's Tight-Fisted Milton Thurston
Keeps Check On All Athletic Gear
By Jim Jennings
The t r a c k man did a war dance as he r e t u r n e d from the
equipment room of t h e Field House to t h e t r a c k locker room.
He announced the reason for his joy. He had been successful
in t a l k i n g Milton Thurston, supply room custodian, into giv­ing
h im a new pair of shoe strings to replace the broken,
knotted ones in his track shoes.
The track man was regarded as
having performed a minor mir­acle.
This was an extreme case of
the good-natured grumbling- di­rected
toward Thurston for the
strictness with which he fulfills
his job as guardian and distribut­or
of the estimated $60-75,000
worth of athletic equipment en­trusted
to his care. Every item
of equipment issued to an athlete
is recorded in a filing system un­der
the athlete's name.
In addition to supply room
duties, Thurston has the respon­sibility
of supervising the laun­dering
of all equipment, minor
repairs and upkeep of the equip­ment,
the lining of all of the'a'tli-'
letic fields, and the preparation
of the Sports Arena for a basket­ball
game or wrestling match.
Twenty-nine thousand towels and
7,000 pairs of socks were washed
at the Field House last year. Five
men are employed to aid Thurs­ton
in these duties.
Thurston states that Auburn
has one of the best dressed foot­ball
teams in this area. Complete
game uniforms in orange and in
white are owned by Auburn. The
team also has a complete set of
navy blue jerseys. Consequently,
Auburn can field a team in any of
five different color combinations.
-Working' in cooperation with
tjie football managers, Thurston
packs all of the uniforms and
other equipment that is carried
to football games and is respon­sible
for its safety and prompt
arrival. For short trips the equip­ment
is carried on a truck which
Thurston drives. On long trips it
is carried on the train or plane
with the team.
Thurston makes a complete in­ventory
of all equipment twice
each1 year and from this inventory
helps the coaches decide what
equipment is needed. The pur­chasing
is done by Coach Jeff
Beard.
At the field house, Thurston is
a distinctive character. He can be
very cold-hearted and firm in his
refusal to issue equipment not
authorized by one of the coaches.
He has no patience or ,'sympathy
for an athlete who has lost equip­ment.
The recognized impossib­ility
of; getting equipment without
Thurston's knowledge is char­acterized
by a standing joke that
professional pick-pockets p as s
their final tests if they can steal
a pair of socks from the equip­ment
room.
Thurston is widely respected
among the coaches and athletes
for his honesty and for the ef­ficiency
with which he carries out
Tiger Cagers Meet
Tech Five Tonight
Auburn's irt and out Cagers en­counter
the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets for the second time this
season when they square off in
the Sports Arena tonight. Tossup
time is 7:30.
The Tigers will enter the fray
with a 9-8 win-loss record and
will be seeking their fifth confer­ence
win.
Both teams will be hoping to
break into the win column with
a victory. Auburn's most recent
outing was a 63-44 beating by
'Bama and. Tech's latest defeat
was a 65-47 lost to Vanderbilt.
Overcoming a long standing
jinx held by the Engineers will
be the goal of the Plainsmen to­night.
They haVe not defeated a
Tech team since 1948.
The Rambling Wrecks overran
the Eavesmen 64-44 in their init­ial
meeting this year in a duel
fought in Atlanta. . Sinking only
20 per cent of their field attempts,
the Tigers were far off their us­ual
form while Tech, according to
Coach Roy McArthur, played one
of its best games.
Sophomore Forward Pete Silas
was the big gun in the Engineer's
victory .and has been in most of
their games this season.
Pacesetter for the Auburn at­tack
was Guard Roy Brawner.
Brawner has consistently proven
his worth to the team by his
spirited play particularly on de­fense.
Another Tiger who will be
counted on in tonight's fray is-steadily
improving Dan Pridgen.
His latest feat is outscoring
'Bama's Paul Sullivan, second
highpoint maker in the conferen­ce,
in last Saturday's game.-
the responsibilities of his position.
He is a good judge of size and
exercises care in seeing that game
or meet uniforms fit well. How­ever,
it is nothing unusual for
athletes to get stuck with odd
sizes of practice uniforms. '
Thurston began his present job
under Carl Voyles^almost five
years ago. He was one of the very
few people in the athletic depart­ment
whose job was not affected
when Voyles was replaced.
He spent two years in the 35th
Infantry Division and 10 months
overseas in England, France, Ger­many
and Belgium. He is married
to the former Helen Pollard of
Tallassee. They have three sons.

Japanese Students Speak To IRC;
Varied Programs Planned For Year
By Jim Jennings
The American occupation of Japan has been much smooth­er
and has produced fewer problems than either side had ex­pected
according to a talk given rcently by Keuichi Yama-moto
and Uchu Fujishima, Japanese exchange students, at a
meeting of the! International Relations Club.
In addition they stated that
freedom of speech was almost
complete but that the Japanese
people were not allowed to crit­icize
the occupation. Fujishima
stressed the fact that the major
problem of Japan today was eco­nomic.
They stated that the aver­age
person no longer considered
the Japanese Emperor a god. .
In February Hans Hottenrott,
German exchange student, will
tell the club his views on Ger­man
rearmament. At other times
during the quarter the club plans
to have joint meetings with the
Home Economics Club and with
the Latin American Club.
These are examples of the pro­grams
which are presented each
week by the Auburn chapter of
the International Relations Club.
International Relations Clubs
have been founded in colleges
and universities in all parts of the
world. Their purpose is to provide
an opportunity for students with
interests in international relations
to meet, study and discuss current
international problems and to get
to know each other better.
The idea of International Rela­tions
Clubs dates back almost
forty years. Sir Norman Angell

and Stephen Duggan founded In­ternational
Policy Clubs in 1914.
After World War I the clubs be­came
associated with the Institute
of International Education and
the Carnegie Endowment for In­ternational
Peace. In 1920 the
names of the clubs were changed
to the present form and in 1924
the Carnegie Endowment for In­ternational
Peace assumed lead­ership
for stimulating and aiding
the clubs.
By 1940 the Carnegie Endow­ment
was maintaining contact'
with almost 800 clubs all over the
world. During the period of World
War II interest in International
Relations Clubs declined but af­ter
the war it revived. At the pre­sent
time the endowment main­tains
contact with 900 clubs in all
parts of the world.
The history of the International
Relations Club at Auburn dates
back in the early 1930s. Prof. O.
T., Ivey of the history department
was the original faculty advisor.
Prof. Ivey left Auburn in 1937
and Prof. T. P. Atkinson of the
foreign language department ser­ved
as faculty advisor\,for a num­ber
of years. Interest in the club
declined during World War II as
was the case of many campus act­ivities,
but since the war the club
has revived. Prof. Ivey became
faculty advisor for the second
time in the spring of 1950.
The club is making plans to
send delegates to the state con­vention
of International Relations
Clubs at Howard College in Bir­mingham
and the regional con­vention
at the Citadel in South
Carolina. Both conventions will
be held during the winter quar­ter.
Alan Harris, president of the
International Relations Club, has
extended an invitation for all stu­dents
interested in international
affairs to become members of the
club and attend the meetings held
each Monday night in room 302 of
Samford Hail. —

A ban placed on the McGill
University Daily a "month ago has
been lifted. The ban was imposed
as a result of an article'appearing
in .the November 10 Daily which
stated that hard liquor, gambling
and dancing girls would be the
attractions at a charity dance to
be held the next evening.
This is the second time the Mc­Gill

since it commenced publication in
1911. The first suspension occur­red
in 1942 when a February is­sue
of the paper blasted the ad­ministration
on all four pages. The
paper was confiscated one hour
after it hit the newsstands.
Commented McGill's student
council regarding this latest ban:
"The discipline committee's action
is a threat to future student of­ficers
if this incident is to be taken
as a precedent."
