\ew Building Program
Approved By Trustees
$14,500,000 Annual Budget Adopted;
Plans Include 7 Dorms, Union Building
A resolution authorizing plans to be made for a $3,700,000
building program to nearly double the existing dormitory
space and to provide for a Union Building was adopted at a
meeting of the Auburn Board of Trustees here on Monday,
June 5. Trustees also approved a $14,5^5,000 budget for the
1950-51 fiscal year.
Under the plan seven new dormitories
would be constructed. One
dormitory for men would house
484 students and cost $1,000,000.
Six new dormitories for women
students would be built below the
present quadrangle, accommodating
576 students.
Women students now living in
Auburn and Alumni Halls would be
moved to the new facilities "and
the two used as men's dormitories.
Included in the plan is the purchase
of the Theta Chi fraternity
house for use as a women's dormitory.
The change would- permit an increase
of 330 women students enrolled
at Auburn. Housing for men
as provided by the college would
be increased from 430 to 1,200
and for women from 700 to 1,030.
Also approved by the board is
a Union Building to cost $950,-
000 or, if the Alumni Association
headquarters* and faculty club is
included in the building, the cost
would be~$l,250,000. The alumni
are now conducting a drive to
raise $300,000 for an Alumni-Faculty
House. *
Fee Raise Approved
The board approved of the plan
proposed by the Union Building
Committee to raise the student activities
fee in order to provide a
source of income for the building.
The entire program would be
financed by building revenue
bonds, issue of which is to be presented
for final approval to, the
trustees at an August meeting. It
would include refunding of the
1948 issue of $1,050,000 at lower
interest rates, raising the total
issue to $4,250,000.
Other resolutions adopted by the
board authorized establishment of
a retirement plan for college personnel
not covered by the federal
system or the state teachers retirement
system, approved a separate
$350,000 construction program
and adopted a resolution honoring
the late Dean Herbert M. Martin.
Budget Increased
The budget for the coming fiscal
year represents an increase of
about $3,430,000, or approximately
the amount of the the proposed
building program.
Main items on the budget were:
College proper division—$5,362,-
100; experiment station — $1,208,

It Could Happen Here -
s While looking through the exchange
papers which reach The Plainsman office
every week, we have noticed with a great
deal of; interest the noted speakers appearing
at cither schools throughout the South. •
Many of the nation's leading statesmen
and officials have appeared on programs
at Southern colleges during the past five
months and have been well received by
large groups- of eager and interested students."
During the month of May such noted
leaders as David Lillienthal, former chairman
of the Atomic Energy Commission;
Quentin Reynolds, noted correspondent,
and Vice-President Alben Barkley appeared
at L.S.U. None of these men were sponsored
.by the college but were brought to
the campus by interested student groups.
Other noted speakers appearing on
nearby campuses during the past year include
Harold Stassen and noted Edtior
Hodding Carter at Montevallo; Clare Booth
Luce at Tuskegee Institute; Senator Frank
Graham and Editor Ralph McGill at Georgia,
and Hodding Carter at Florence State
Teachers College.
Forgotten Independence
We have had several inquiries the past
week concerning the lack of a school holiday
on July 4 this year. We, too were perplexed
at the failure of the college to recognize
the anniversary of United States
independence as a day worthy of commemoration.
Remembering that the Fourth was observed
here last year, we investigated to
determine the. reason for ignoring it in
1950 and found that, in order to remain
an accredited college, the school must hold
classes a required number of days. Some
summer quarters it is possible to work in
the Independence holiday, some it isn't.
This summer it isn't.
We're Not Amused
Back in 1948 when the city of Auburn
adopted the controversial amusement tax,
Auburn students protested loud and strong,
but to no avail. Despite the protest and
the absence of student representation, the
tax1 became law.
City fathers explained to students that
they would directly benefit from the tax
as recreational centers, which could be
used by students, would be built from the
funds. The present facilities at City Park
as well as even larger facilities near Sam-ford
Avenue, including barbecue pits, picnic
grounds, and a large swimming pool,
were to be built by the tax money. However,
nothing has been heard of plans for
the Samford Avenue project.
Last year the city received $17,853.03~
• from the amusement tax. Of this amount
it would be safe to say that the Auburn
*C
This is only a small portion ofythe impressive
list of speakers -who have appeared
on nearby campuses during the past
year. Many of these speakers were sp6n-sored
by the institutions in conjunction
with the lecture program, while others
came at the request of student groups.
Why hasn't Auburn taken steps to hear
such outstanding men and women?
The college has not brought leaders of
this caliber to the campus in the past year
and student groups have nat- shown.the
proper interest in instituting such a program.
It is absurb for an institution of
higher learning with the potentialities of
Auburn to fail in giving students an opportunity
to hear many of our nation's leading
thinkers. ?.
A step in the right direction towards
correcting this fallacy and in making Auburn
a more democratic and progressive
institution could be taken by inviting
President Harry Truman to speak here if
he visits Tuskegee Institute in August. Although
many people do not agree with
President Truman on many issues, he is a
man worthy of being heard.
We consider this an affront on American
tradition and Americanism itself to hold
classes on the date of one of the most important
milestones of United States history.
If It were not possible to start summer.
school a day earlier or extend it a day
longer in order to provide a holiday, surely
some juggling of class days within the
quarter could have been arranged.
If no other arrangement is possible this
late, we would suggest holding Saturday
classes before or after July 4 in order to
observe the holiday. If this is not satisfactory,
all we can ask is that a holiday be
scheduled for Independence Day in future
years.
students contributed more than 50 per
cent. However, we question that the Auburn
students are receiving as much as
10 per cent of the recreation afforded by
the present facilities.
This year A.P.I, students.were tcounted
in the city census. Therefore, as official
citizens they are entitled to not only know
where their tax money goes but to receive
maximum benefit from the recreational
facilities'.
Since the present recreational program
is not adequate to serve both students and
townspeople, it does not appear that students
will get* the full benefit of their investment.
However, if city officials would
contribute a reasonable portion of the
amusement tax funds to the Union Building
fund, they could do justice to the student
taxation.

Our Face-Red As Langdon Curtain
In an editorial in the May 10 issue of
The Plainsman, we referred to the stage
curtain in redecorated Langdon Hall as a
"campus sore thumb" and stated that it
was the only feature of the auditorium
which had not been brought up to date.
We were recently informed- that the
curtain is new. As new, in "fact, as the
flashing "no smoking" signs. May we beg
a thousand pardons from whoever was responsible
for choosing and purchasing the
curtain, and merely say, in passing, "To
err is human. . . ."

A 'SUGAR' Daddy
Who Has Gone Sour
Whoa, there, "Daddy" War-bucks.
You've gone just a little
too far. x-
For years, "Little Orphan Annie"
has broadcast the philosophy
of laissez faire, and we've sat back
quietly. But on nis latest escape,
"Daddy" has violated the law of
the land, and insulted the intelligence
of the American people.
Perhaps it's an old-fashioned
notion, but a long time ago, we
were taught that it was taboo to
take the law into our own hands.
,It just wasn't done in* the best
society. But alon^ comes "Daddy,"
after his jaunt behind the curtain
countries. "Daddy" is fleeing
from Ivan. Just who he is
and why Ivan pursues "Daddy" is-never
too. clear, but perhaps it's
that diamond boulder "Dad"
wears in his shirt front.
But early' in the game, "Daddy"
starts feeding this orphan kid by
the name of Annie a line''as to
why he has to pack a gun. Gullible
little Annie, forgetting this .is
America, and that no party has
as yet resorted to gunplay, takes
it hook, fine, and sinker. Imagine,
teaching a young kid to take the
law into her own hands. And
telling her to shoot first. Atrocious,
s
But that isn't bad enough.
"Daddy" and his two mismated
friends, an Indian giant and an
oriental, kill and maim at will.
The only provocation is that the
victims are supposedly after
"Daddy" or his."Warbucks.".
It's about time the people rose
up in arms against such comic
strips. Why "only the other day,
there was "Daddy" fleeing, up-river
from Ivan: On his spacious
and reconverted battleship that he
calls a yacht, "Daddy," his double,
and the orphan were making'
tracks. It was apparent that Ivan
had "Daddy" on edge. \
The keen-sighted Indian, Punjab,
declared that a boat without
running' lights was behind them.
So what did "Daddy" do? He
trailed some "live bait" out on the
end of a line. A terrific explosion
rocked the fiver.' Old
"Many-bucks" chuckled with glee.
Ivan's men had gone to the bottom.
Ahh! Comes the point. Just
how did they know that the boat
contained. Ivan's men? What if it
had been Lake Austin, and- the
boat had contained a co-ed and
her date, bent on a bit of high-powered
smooching? What if it
had been some fisherman too poor
to buy bulbs for his lights? They'll
never know now.
Yes, indeed. Little Orphan, Annie's
teaching the simple and naive
little brats of America just
how to get along in. this world.
The police agencies can't handle
the criminals, so do it yourself.
The government can't handle
the international situation, so old
"Many-bucks" just sticks his diamond-
laden paw into the picture, •
bribing ambassadors right and
left.
"Daddy" can't trust'the State
Department, so he has his own
men scattered throughout the
world's capitols to report by radio.
-
We've watched the antics of this
comic-strip Croesus for many a
year. We've stood about all we
can take of his "dog-eat-dog"
philosophy, his condescending ait
toward his real-life fellowman.
We can hear him chuckling now:
"Yessir, it's ev«ry man for himself
said the elephant as he
stepped among the baby chicks."
Please Mr. Gray . . . can't you
let Ivan polish him off? We're
getting a complex.

A Fair Deal
Padded payrolls, excess parity price supports, excess duplication
of effort, "scavenger Hunts" by legislators, war-time tax rates, "free"
health "insurance," and the other hundred and one heedless govern-
. ment activities aren't our idea of a fair deal. *
We're. not against necessary government activities—like the
census, for instance. The census gathers a lot of useful information
that industry, educators and editorial writers can use to good
benefit. It's the useless activities—like running a welfare state—
we're not sure we like.—Daily Kansan

Letter Game Solves Grade Problem

Are you one of those students who leaves college at the

Editor Neil O. Davis of the Lee County Bulletin has done
it again!
The popular1 young editor nailed down his second national
award in two years as the Bulletin won the National Editorial
Association's 1950 "Best Editorials" award. Mr. Davis's "intelligent
approach to working out
better community understanding
of the Negro in its midst" was
cited by the NEA.
The citation added that the
Bulletin "deserved to win for the
clear and well-written editorial
campaign which it carried on to
repeal the poll lax and to break
down restrictions used to keep
Negroes from voting." The NEA
pointed out that Mr. Davis, in undertaking
his-campaign, "did not
resort to polemics but placed its
appeal on the basis of. American
justice."
This is another well-earned
award for the former Plainsman
editor. His outstanding work in
the field of journalism and^in the
development of a better community
has been a bright spot- for the
citizens of Auburn.
Well, "Hoop-De-Doo" blared its
way into the Lucky Strike Hit
Parade last week. This is significant
in that the. tune was advertised
as a "Hit Parad/e Possibility"
on the nation's juke boxes.
s To my knowledge this was the
first time that anything more than
a record's name and artist had
been included on the juke box
card. When it first was placed on
the machines, I anticipated a new
trend in which every song would
be Irumpted as a "Hit Parade Possibility,"
but the scheme's promoter
was smart enough to avoid
that.
I am waiting to see if the little
cards will be changed, now that
the Hit Parade status of "Hoop-
De-Doo" has been altered and it
is no longer merely a possibility,
but an actuality. Surely the man
who dreamed up the idea in the
first place should be permitted to
have one little "I Told You So"
printed on substitute cards.

... It was with regret that I learned
this week that the Langdon

entertainment every Thursday
night.
With the inevitable summer lull
in campus activities setitng in, it
is a shame that this weekly pleasure
will no longer be available.

The system-of competition can

A local laundry recently announced
that it now offers cutouts
with kid appeal ort-the pasteboards
used to keep shirts un-wrinkled.
This may increase the
laundry's business, but it will no
doubt defeat the original purpose
of the pasteboards when "the kids
get hold of the freshly-starched
shirts.

The cold war, communist China
and the Atlantic Pact are frequent
subjects of conversation when
groups of students gather in rooming
houses, dormitories or the
Grille. Although many students
are vitally interested in world affairs,
they fail to take advantage
of the opportunity offered by the
International Relations Club for
directed and intelligent discussion
of these topics.
IRC is a national organization
with! groups on many campuses
throughout the nation. This national
s e t - u p
gives members

m a n y advantage's
in their
study of international
events.
F o r example,
a library composed
of books
and periodicals

for the use by members.
Members decide what phrases of
international relations they wisli
to study and for how long. At the
first meeting of this quarter, Prof.
Richard Bjurberg, faculty adviser,
led a discussion on the advisibility
of seating communist China on
the Security Council. Other programs
have featured foreign students
and various instructors.
, When William L. Shirer, the
noted lecturer, visited the campus
last winter, IRC held a banquet
in his honor. In this way members
were able to meet and talk
with him. The club plans to entertain
other noted persons who
visit the campus.
T h e International Relations
Club is especially interested in
getting * the teachers attending
summer school te come to meetings.
Since there are so many
teachers here this quarter, it is
felt, that they would develop an I
interest in world affairs which
they would carry back to their!
schools. Through this medium,
clubs "for the .study of world
events c o u l d "be established
throughout the state.
Meetings of International Relations
Club are held on alternate
Monday nights at 8 in new building.
Everyone interested in foreign
affairs is urged to attend the

Willett To lead Tiger Terminals;
Experience lacking, Prospects Good
By Jimmy Coleman
Most everyone will agree that excellent teamwork spelled
Auburn's defeat of Alabama last December and the Tiger
ends can't be ignored as one of the big factors in the -victory.
After the'game Holt East, Alabama's great end of the
early 40's, was moved to observe in'the press box: "Did you
notice Auburn's ends? Their play
LEADS EfitDS ' e r f r o m , Jackson, Miss. He is as
tough as they come and constantly
strives to improve himself.
-Lack of experience is the big
drawback as far as the sophs are
concerned. At the conclusion of
spring drills it appeared that 6-3,
195-poun8 Lee Hayley from Ens-ley
High, Birmingham and 6-1,
was flawless. They -kept turning
the Alabama.runners in where the
tackles and linebackers Were "nailing
them all afternd&n."
Pyburn and Russell - Gfone
Two of the big guns of that
memorable day—Capt. Ralph Py-burn
and Erskine Russell—are
now graduated, but the third big
operator against the Tide is back.
He is Virgil Willett, who played a
whopping 285 minutes of ""the 1949
season. Teammates have elected
the 186-pound, Tallahassee, Fla.,
flankman as alternate-captain for
the coming season.
. As a- senior, -Willett will lead a
group of end candidates that include
only one other letterman,
Fred Duarf, another senior, from_
Jamaica, N. Y.
The scarcity of letter men doesn't
startle End Coach Shot Senn. An
end himself on Auburn's great undefeated
team of 1932, Senn will
get results from hard work and
sound coaching. He will have four
non-lettering candidates from last
year's squad jn addition to the
two monogram wearers. Most of
his sophomores will need seasoning
but will learn fast.
Potential Star Uncovered
Senn spent a great deal of time
last season working with Gene
Mulhall, a rangy black-haired
youngster from 'Chicago and the
results were showing during spring
practice. He excelled' on defense
and offense and the rougher the
going—the better he liked it.
Tough luck hit Mulhall as a
freshman when he broke his collarbone.
As a result, he was-'Slow
getting Started last 'season as a
sophomore and was held from varsity
action. He still has three mote
years of varsity eligibility and will
be listed as a sophomore this fall.
At the end of spring drills Coach
Earl Brown was so pleased with
Mulhall's performances that he
declared him "the most improved
player on the squad."
. ^ Ousts Senior
He improve?! to the extent that
Freddie Duart, a pretty good end
himself, is now a second-Stringer.
Duart will have to battle for a
starting position as a senior when
the Tigers begin workouts September
J. in preparation for the
opener with record-setting Wof-ford
College to be played September
22 in Montgomery.
Others Who Will Play
Behind Willett at left end, Tommy
Edwards .and Charlie Justo, a
couple of ex-Woodlawn High ath-
182-pound Tih»ich Sauerbrey from
Lanier High, Macon, Ga., were the
fairhaired boys of the group. *;
But others who might surprise.*
the coaches and fans alike' are
Bill McMurry, Fairfield; Earnest
Baker, Camden, S.C; Ed Deupree.
Renfroe, and Jimmy Cline, La-
Grange, Ga.
letes from Birmingham, will split
playing »time.
Close Behind Mulhall and Duart
at the right flank is Dave Ridge-way,
a much^improved pass catch-

Graduates In Business Courses Will Find
Jobs Easier Than Other Vocations
Prepared By U. S. Department of Labor
The largest single career field open to college graduates is
*in the management and operation oLhusiness firms according
to a study by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
According to t h e s u r v e y .dropping out of those holding re-
| business education is the second sponsible jobs results in promo-i
largest field after teacher train-t
i n ^ placing it ahead of engineeri
n g , agriculture, law, and medicine.
What are the employment
:,prospects for thes* graduates?
Several factors affect the long
i range employment outlook for
..students in this field: the growth
s.of business administration employment,
h e a v y replacement
• needs expected over the coming
..years, and increasing use of busi-
. ness administration graduates to
• fill these jobs.
It is likely that total business
. employment will continue to grow
l over the long run, causing a mod-derate
increase in the number of
. executive jobs. There also will be
a continuation of the trend forward
greater specialization and
. increased complexity, in business,
i However, a large part of this development
has already taken
• place and it is not likely that it
i .will have as much effect in creating
openings - f o r managerial'
.workers as in the past. /-
Although the demands for gra-
, duates of collegiate business courses
are expected to increase in
.future years, there will continue
•to be severe competition for the
•better jobs which lead to execut
i v e positions. In 1949, a decline
i n business activity caused many
companies to curtail their recruit-
1 ment programs.
As a result there was keen com-
: petition for available jobs among
r-the record" crop of more than 60,-
.. 000 business graduates, and many
: were not immediately able to find
! jobs which matched their qualifi-
,. cations. It is too soon to tell de-l.
finitely whether - /this situation
/.means that the number trained
iifcas only temporarily outrun the
iklong-run demand and immediate
> replacement needs, or whether
'^business cannot normally absorb
(.this many graduates in executive
* trainee jobs or in beginning jobs
rin specialized fields such as accounting
and advertising.
The main source of new job op-j
portunities for graduates of busi-ruess
schools will be in the replacement
of executives .now emp
l o y e d as they die or retire from
^business. New graduates will not,
,*ot course, obtain top jobs, but the

tions within the organizations and
vacancies in beginning jobs. This
means that a higher percentage
than usual must be replaced during
the next 10 to 15 years. Many
companies are seriously concerned
about this problem.
Will graduates of university
business courses be hired for executive
positions in preference to
those without degrees, other qualifications
being equal? Present
indications are that a. growing
proportion of both top level jobs
and specialized operating jobs
will go to these business graduates.

Educational requirements for
business executive positions are.
being increased," in line with the
trend toward higher educational
requirements in many other fields
of employment.
Eventually, college graduation
may be required for most jobs at
the administrative level. Not "all
of these jobs will go to graduates
pf business courses, however,
since engineers, lawyers, and- other
professional; workers will be
competing strongly in many industrial
fields.
