'Outward Bound' Draws
Top Recommendation
Among Weekend Events
By War Eagle
"Outward Bound" gets my
recommendation as the most
outstanding of activities sche­duled
on campus this week­end.
Ably presented by the Au­b
u r n Players, t h e play opened
i t s two-night showing last
night in Langdon Hall.
A word to those who missed
the first showing: don't fail to
attend the final performance to­night,
same place at 8:15. The
play is a real treat for lovers of
comedy and drama.
The Players, and their direct­or,
Robert Knowles, are to be
commended for their excellent ef­forts
to provide Auburn students
and townpeople with the best in
stage entertainment.
One cannot begin to appreciate
their work until he realizes the
great number of .gruelling hours
that the Players spend practicing
and rehearsing for their quarterly
productions.
My appreciation of the Players
was multiplied when I learned
that an average day for them
means six hours of practice.
The way I see it from my perch,
Auburn folks would miss a lot of
fine entertainment if the Players
decided to disband. May they
continue in their good work.
In Atlanta
I wanted to swoop down and
join in the fight myself last Sat­urday
when Tech was dumping
our team.
It's always hard to lose to those
Atlanta engineers, but I reckon it
was just too much to hope for this
year.
There's no denying Tech has a
good team. It's the swiftest I've
seen in many years, and I've seen
a lot of them come and go.
I'm looking for better days
ahead, however. It's high time this
ole Eagle hit the victory road, so
watch for Tulane to fall in Mobile
Saturday.

Louisiana's Senator Long To Speak
On Langdon Steps Monday Afternoon
One of the biggest political rallies ever held in A u b u r n is
scheduled Monday afternoon when Senator Russell Long of
Louisiana will speak in behalf of the Democratic Stevenson-
Sparkman ticket from the steps of Langdon Hall at 3 p.m.
The rally, to which the public is invited, is expected to
be the largest here since Senator
John Sparkman spoke from the
same spot in 1946 in his first
raee for the U. S. Senate.
Announcement of the speech was
made today by Lester Ford, API
student and president of the Au­burn
Chapter of Young Democrats.
His group and the Lee County
Chapter of Young Democrats join­ed
in arranging for this major
political address.
Roberts H. Brown, of Opelika,
Speaker of Alabama House of
Representatives, will introduce
Sen. Long.
Ford said that Gov. Gordon Per­sons,
at the request of the two
Lee County Young Democrat chap­ters,
had been instrumental in
getting Senator Long to come here.
Senator Long, son of the late
Gov. Huey Long of Louisiana, is
regarded as one of the ablest mem­bers
of the Democratic Party's
team of speakers'and his address
here is expected to attract wide
attention. Elected to the Senate
in 1948 at the age of 30, Senator
Long has been active in his sup­port
of the Stevenson-Sparkman
ticket across the country. He will
speak in Montgomery on Monday
night after his speech here.
Gaining national prominence for
his dramatics speech at the recent
Democratic Convention when he
refused to leave the convention
over the "loyalty oath" fight, Sen­ator
Long was a prominent figure
in uniting Southern leaders behind
Sen. Russell Long
the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket in
the convention. The senator holds
E.A. and LL.B. degrees from
L.S.U. He is a navy combat vet­eran
of World War II.
"The courage which Senator
Long showed at the recent Demo­cratic
Convention in declaring his
loyalty to the Democratic Party
has made him a highly respected
leader in the Democratic Party,"
Ford continued. "The courage he
is showing in the fight against
those who have turned their backs
on the Democratic Party in Louisi­ana
is making sense to all fair
minded voters," the Auburn Young
Democrat added.

Brackeen.

ODK Mock Election Interest Mounting
On Tuesday, Oct. 28, API stu­dents

Hall, and all others at the Main
Gate. Polling lists will. be used
at each post. Results of the poll
will be tabulated by ODK and re­leased
as soon as possible.
WITH NATIONAL elections only
11 days away, student interest in
politics is rapidly gaining mom­entum.
Both the Young Democrats
and Young Republicans organiza­tions
are urging party supporters
and independents to vote.
In disclosing plans for the straw
ballot, Ray went on to comment,
"Perhaps never before have the
American people been faced with
such a grave decision as regards
the election of a president.
"THE AUBURN students will
someday be playing an integral
part in this country's affairs, so
their interest should be high.
Even if they can't vote in the
.November election, ODK wants
all the students to take this op­portunity
to express their prefer­ence
and show the nation at large
just how Auburn feels."
Famous Soprano
To Appear Tuesday
In Concert Opener
Gladys Swarthout, famous
mezzo-soprano, will inaugur­a
t e the 1952-53 API Lecture
and Concert Series with a re­cital
in the student activities
building Tuesday, Oct. 28, at
8:15 p.m.
Miss Swarthout comes to 'Au­burn
in the midst of a trans­continental
tour that opened in
Ann A r b o r , Mich., in early
October, shortly after her return
from Europe.
In addition to arias from the
operas with which she is identi­fied,
the well-known performer
has programmed a selection of
classical works, art and folk songs
in Spanish, French and Italian
and an unusual group of songs
by contemporary American com­posers.
THREE American song writers,
John Jacob Niles, Clara Edwards
and Celius Dougherty, have de­dicated
new works to Miss Swar­thout,
and she will sing them
here.
Born in Deepwater, Mo., on a
Christmas Day, Miss Swarthout
made her professional debut at
the age of 13 as a church soloist.
At-20 she was a principal'member
of the Chicago Opera Company.
Five years later she went to the
Metropolitan.
She sang the role of Juliet in
Arturo Toscanini's radio produc­tion'
of Berloiz's "Romeo ' and
Juliet." Soon afterward, Miss
Swarthout went to Paramount
Pictures to make five films; she
then began recording for RCA
Victor Red Seal Records. Her lat­est
recording is the recently re­leased
RCA Victor recordrama,.
"Carmen."
Famed in opera, concerts and
radio, Miss Swarthout appeared
in the first televised production
of "Carmen" on New Year's Day
of this year. This was the first
production of a full length opera
ever staged exclusively for the
television .cameras.
THE COLUMBIA Broadcasting
System presented the perfor­mance,
with Robert Merrill as
Escamillo and Robert Rounsevilie
as Don Jose.
For f i v e , consecutive years,
Miss Swarthout has been voted
by a poll, of §00 radio editors of
the U.S. and Canada as the out­standing
female vocalist on the
air; in last year's election she was
named one of "America's 10 Best
Dressed Women."
IF IT WERE EARLIER in the year, we could swear that this
week's "Loveliest," Peggy Barrow, was climbing that fence to get
into somebody's orchard., We're confused by the season, but not
too confused to know that she's a sophomore in secretarial training
from Jackson. (API Photo by Les King.)
Homecoming Dances
Set For November 7, 8
Plans have been made for two
Homecoming dances on Novem­ber
7 and 8 at the student activi­ties
building, according to Arthur
Moore, superintendent of social
affairs.
Both dances will last from 8
until 12 and all girls will be given

Knights will provide the music.
Moore urged that all students
extend a special invitation to
alumni and friends who will be
present for the Homecoming
weekend.

SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
PRESIDENT
Peyton D. Burford
October 30 is the date the stu­dents
in Agriculture will vote for
their preferred candidates for
president and vice-president of
Ag Hill. These officers will be
responsible for all activities and
functions in Ag School during
their term, so each voter should
carefully consider the merits and
abilities of the aspirants. ,
As candidate for the presidency-it
would be my goal to maintain
the fine spirit and tradition on
Ag Hill and to promote a contin­uation
of the close cooperation
and coordination among the var­ious
departments and organiza­tions.
I will work in every way
possible with the agricultural
clubs in an effort to strengthen
and improve them. I would like
to see each student given the
opportunity to participate more
actively in the planning and op­eration
of the agricultural pro­grams
and exhibitions during
Open House.
The fulfillment of my platform
will never . be realized without
your support and influence. When
you go to the polls on October

Mack- Murphy
After being enrolled for the
past three years in the School of
Agriculture and having taken 'an
active part in two of the clubs on
"The Hill," I do believe that I can
faithfully say that I know most
of the needs of the clubs, students,
and departments which compose
the School of Agriculture.
1. I am definitely interested in
seeing a greater student partici­pation
toward certain activities
which concern them both directly
and indirectly, such as clubs re­lative
to their major which they
may join and especially elections
of the forthcoming nature.
2. I am for a greater amount of
fraternization between f a c u l ty
students, and clubs.
3. I am for a canteen of some
fashion being put on "The Hill"
for the convenience of the Ag
students who can't be running
back and forth to the student cen­ter
nearly one half mile away.

One of the functions of the
school officers for the coming
year will be their work toward
the campus wMe celebration of
Open House. This year each scho6l
will try to pyt its best foot for­ward
on that occasion to show
the public what it is. doing. The
Agriculture School's part in Open
House should be representative of
its student enrollment. One of my
aims to see that the participation
of every student is encouraged
through the various clubs on Ag
Hill so that we may better show
our work in agriculture and its
sciences.
I wish to encourage a closer
association of the various clubs
in order to build a stronger Ag
Council and a better Ag School
I wish to see the fine traditions

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
PRESIDENT
Tom Caldwell
Many factors had to be taken
into consideration before I decid­ed
that I would run for the office
of president of the School of
Architecture and Allied Arts. Was
I qualified? Have I had enough
experience along these lines?
What do I plan to do if elected?
I have been a member of this
school for three years and on
many occasions have worked with
the faculty and students for the
school. I have served on the Open
House Committee arid the Motion
Picture Production Committee
since their inception, and am
chairman of one of them now.
These will be two of the biggest
jobs of the school officers in the
coming year. I have been thinking
and working on a plan for better
cooperation between the divisions
within the school so that the
needs of the students can be bet­ter
handled.
Because of these factors I feel
that I am capable of serving you
as your president. If you feel as I
do cast your vote for Tom Cald­well
on October 30th.
* * *
Fred B. Hallmark
In seeking the position of presi­dent
of the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts I will endeavor
to be a true representative of the
students, acting according to their
desires. I propose a three plank
platform which I feel shall be
flexible enough to meet any stu­dent
situation justly and fair to
all involved.
1. Organize a system of class
representatives from groups to
advise elected officers of the de­sires
of the students in his group.
2. Organize the various student
groups into a working body to
more easily and efficiently per­form
the work intended for the
School of Architecture during
various campus activities.
3. Organize the entire school of
Architecture and Allied Arts so as
to exhibit to an advantage the
facilities and work of our school
to high school students during
Open House.
* * *
Reid Morgan
The only promise' I make in this
platform is to work for the best
interest of each of the depart­ments
which make up our school.
Since it is known .that we have
the best students, I have a deep
and genuine interest in making
this group the most active on the
campus.
The one big job we have, Open
House, is our opportunity to
prove the excellence of our
school. This could be built up un­til
it becomes a good drawing card
for attracting new students and
professors.
We have good facilities and ac­tivities
which need further deve­lopment,
thus making a first rate
school. There are two points I
want to stress. (1) I would like
to have more qualified speakers
as guests of our school. (2) I
would like to see each of our hon­orary
societies take a step to­ward
working together.
I pledge my earnest efforts to
make these points a reality if I
am elected president of Archi­tecture
and Arts.
* * *
Donald Wamp
In announcing my candidacy
for president of the School of
Architecture, I would,like to state
a few improvements I intend to
work on. I think a better relation
of understanding between student
a n d professor would provide
greater harmony and interest, es­pecially
in the first two years.
Interest could also be improved
by an increased number of visit­ing
lecturers and critics and more
exchange problems to inspire the
motive of competition. I feel the
student would also enjoy and be­nefit
by movies and exhibitions
from industries on the use of
materials in creative design.
I would also like to promote a
closer tie between the depart­ments
of music, art, interior de­sign,
industrial design, building
construction and architecture in
interest and friendship between
these groups. In so doing, we will
be able to have the best Open
House and year round program
for many years to come.
I will appreciate your vote
October 30 and all your support.

Eustece S. Blair
On October 30 you will each
have the privilege of visiting the

Naturally I would like for each
of you in the School of Archi­tecture
to make me your choice
for the office of vice-president.
I am in favor of equality of
each school's rights. This includes
a greater Auburn with great in­terest
inspired through a free
voice in student government.
Recognizing that the powers of
a vice-president are not so exten­sive,
I will endeavor to give you
the service you would like to have

be well represented on the cam­pus,
the president should carry
out a program including these
points:
1. He should represent all of
the students in the School of
Chemistry—t h e chemists, t he
chemical engineers, and the lab
technicians—in every matter of
importance to them.
2. He should work in harmony
with the faculty and administra­tion,
not forgetting, however, that
he is.a representative of the stu­dents.
•3. He should closely cooperate
with the Open House Committee
in order that the School of Chem­istry
might make a creditable
showing during Open House.
4. He should strive for the ef­ficient
functioning of the new
school officer system.
If I am elected, I will make
every effort to carry out this pro­gram.

As a senior in Chemical engi­neering,
I have attended Auburn
for the past three years. During
this time I have been closely as­sociated
with both the students
and instructors of the School of
Chemistry. I feel that this assoc­iation
has qualified me to know
their .problems as well as any
candidate, and that I can be of
service to both students and in­structors
as president ' of the
School of Chemistry.
If you, the members of Au­burn's
School of Chemistry, elect
me as your president on October
30 then I will strive, without be­ing
partial to any individual
groups or organizations, to ac­complish
the following improve­ments:
1. To give Auburn's School of
Chemistry m o r e recognition
throughout' the South through
more and better publicity.
2. To create a closer working

VICE-PRESIDENT
Jane French
I realize that there are certain
obligations to be fulfilled in the
office- of vice-president of the
School, of Chemistry, and I will
conscientiously endeavor to keep
the interest of the students ever
in mind as I uphold this new form
of Student Gpvernment.
I advocate a more representa­tive
.government through better
school organization.
My adherence to the policies of
the Student Government will be
directed toward the whole rather
than the interests of the individual.
By these means problems and
needs of the students will be
brought more directly to the at­tention
of the governing body.
Should I be elected, I will earn­estly
and sincerely perform my
duties in behalf of my classmates
in the School of Chemistry.

I am a candidate for the newly

was formed for the purpose of
bringing about more unity and in­terest

might be better organized to carry
out such programs as Open House.
It elected, I will co-operate with
the president, heads of depart­ments,
faculty members and fel­low
students in an effort to ac­complish
these aims. I would ap­preciate
your support and vote.

ingly, a student on the campus
commands the respect of all when
he announces, "I'm an engineer."
But, how does our school stand
nationally? How many master's
and doctor's degrees are held by
our faculty? How many students
per instructor do we have? How
good IS this education we're get­ting?
These are some of the prob­lems
which must be brought into
the open and acted upon. The
School of Engineering consists of
1450 students. Such a group can
be powerful, if it is united.
So I ask you, engineers, no mat­ter
whom you elect, back him to

I, Jack Green, the only engineer
in the race, would appreciate the
opportunity to serve you.

Si Williams
I consider that this would be a
wonderful opportunity to serve
Auburn as an officer in student
government. Under the new sysr
tern, class officers have been re­placed
by school officers. This was
done to give each school an im­portant
voice in the annual Open
House. The opportunity presents
itself as a challenge to me and I
would like, as your spokesman,
to sec your ideas and mine in ac­tion.
r think you will heartily agree
with me that the Engineering
School, as Auburn's largest school,
should have a well developed and
well organized Open House pro­gram.
The presentation of a bigger
and better Open House exhibit
is the main plank in my platform.
To do this will require close co­operation
and coordination of the
individual engineering schools and
most of my efforts would be to­wards
achieving that purpose.
I will also devote my efforts to
any program that would benefit
the School of Engineering. Let's
keep Engineering as the top school
on the campus, so get behind me
—Si Williams—and let's go all the
I way.

i James G. Mitchell
I have been qualified to run for
an office in one of the best schools
at Auburn. I favor any idea or
program to make the Engineering
School recognized throughout this
section.
One of the chief duties of this
office is to insure a successful
"Open House." I would like for
the engineers and IM students to
go "whole hog" for this event so
that prospective freshmen may
know just how good we are. Your
vote and support will be appre­ciated.
Roland E. Smith
Since it is my firm conviction
that candidates for any office
should make only those statements
tr which he can later adhere if
elected, I intend to advocate the
following principles.
First, to work and strive to
maintain the topmost position, as
to schools, that the School of
Engineering has occupied in my
previous two years at Auburn and
indeed for years before.
Second, to try and gain recogni^
tion and publicity for the out­standing
department of the Engi­neering
School by competition (in
scholarship and service) between
the various sections. This would
include efforts of instructors as
well as students.»
And thirdly, to act as a repre­sentative
of the classes as a whole,
bearing in mind the interests of all
students of enginering, rather than
just those of a select few.
To these three points I resolve
myself to service for the school,
which necessarily means service
to you, the engineering student.

The person elected to this office
will be the first president of the

in the future will be determined
by the one who first holds the

My ideas of what the holder of
the office should practice are the
following:
To be the spokesman of all girls
who comprise the School of Home
Economics.
To correlate the student work
among the various departments in
the school and promote coopera­tion
between these departments.
To promote a further under­standing
between students and

To aid the School of Home Eco­nomics
take its place with the

On these principles I ask for
your support.

heart arid if I am elected I will

desire. After all, is not this office
representative of the students? If
these officers are to represent the

Theta upsilon Offers Hospitality
As National President Visits Plains
By Bettie Jones
If brevity is any virtue, this column is a likely candidate for
receiving the Virtue Cup of the half century. . . . You lucky
people.
Theta Upsilon sorority recently played hostess to their national
president, Mrs. Dee Foster Sims, for her brief visit to Auburn's
campus. The Theta U's also announce that Mrs. Harold E. Klontz
has accepted'the office of chapter adviser and Mr. C. C. Markle
will act as financial adviser. We guess this gives Mr. Markle the
signal honor of being the first male to break the ranks of Auburn's
feminine Greeks. Congratulations.

News Really Gets Around
News certainly travels fast these days,
especially news that has been sensational­ized
and spread to the four corners of the
e a r t h by a wire service.
A couple of weeks ago, The Plainsman
r a n a short story about t h e bathroom win­dows
in Auburn's new women's dorms.
Two days later, similar stories were print­ed
in several nearby daily newspapers.
The story was picked up by two wire
services, Associated Press, and United
Press, and rapidly t h e news whipped across
t h e nation. Within a few days, former
Auburnites now living in all parts of the
country began clipping the story from
newspapers in their locale, and mailing
t h em .in to us.
Most peculiar to us was that t h e farther
away from Auburn the story got, t h e more
ridiculously it was reported. Actually,
The Plainsman had not reported all the
facts correctly, and was, without knowing
it, in error. But at least The Plainsman
had reported what it believed to be the
t r u t h , and did not attempt to over-play the
story. However, we regret that the same
cannot be said about other newspapers and
magazines that distorted the facts and con­v
e r t e d the story into one of e x t r e m e over­emphasis.
A United Press release in t h e Nashville
Tennessean was clipped and mailed to us,
and we offer it as our prize example of a
story sensationalized without regard for
t r u t h in order to a t t r a c t readers:
"Football practice hasn't been all
drudgery at API this fall, it has t u r n e d out,
but the fun's over.
"The one-way vision windows in t h e new
girls' dormitories now have no-way vision.
School authorities hastily covered them
with Venetian blinds when they discovered
t h e window panes had been put in back­wards.
Coeds moved into the five new
buildings last week. *Two of t h em face the
r ow of cabins where the football squad
lives. The other, t h r e e face the street.
"The girls blithely bathed, dressed and
washed their undies behind frosted glass
bathroom windows. They assumed that
because they couldn't see out, no one could
see in. But because of the trick glass, it
was the same as if they went, about their
primping in an aquarium.
"Coach Ralph J o r d a n ' s football players
filed off the field at an unaccustomed trot
after two hours of rough scrimmage. Their
p a t h to t h e showers took t h em directly past
t h e peep-show bathrooms.
"Student pedestrian traffic was thick on
t h e sidewalks in front of the dormitories
facing the street. Because t h e girls' quart­e
r s are all on the first floor, outsiders got
an eye-level eyeful. . ."
Almost every Auburn student probably
knows that l i t t l e in the above is true.
Similar stories about the dorm windows
were publicized in a Fairbanks, Alaska,
newspaper; in the October 20 issue of
Newsweek, and in a daily newspaper in
Tokyo, Japan.
We know that the story was printed in
these publications, and it seems reasonable
to assume that it was probably printed in
countless other papers and magazines in
t h e United States and other parts of the
world.
Yes, news gets around, but in this in­stance—
if not in others—it seems that
t r u t h was the cost of t h e trip.

Things got rolling about 10 days ago, when a small group

Verbal Dogfights Popular At Auburn
Tuesday's Question: Adlai Or Ike?
The Plainsman hopes t h a t a large num­ber
of students will take time out to vote
in Tuesday's campus mock presidential
election.
This election—for Auburn students re­gardless
of whether or not they a r e eligible
to vote in the national election—could
mean a considerable amount of good pub­licity
for Auburn. But it can mean this
only if a relatively high percentage of the
student body votes in one of the foflr
booths.
Naturally, if only a small percentage of
Auburn students participates, it .cannot,
and should not, be publicized as represen­t
a t i v e of the opinion of t h e Auburn student
body. But if. a great number of students
vote, then no matter which candidate
proves the favorite here, such news would
probably make i n t e r e s t i n g reading matter
in many regional newspapers.
With the mock ballot, Omicron Delta
Kappa—sponsoring the election—hopes to
s t i m u l a t e interest in t h e national campaign.
President Denny Ray has pointed out that
t h e balloting is s t r i c t ly unofficial, and is in
no way intended to represent or reflect the
opinion of the college, ODK, or anyone
connected with these groups.
So, The Plainsman urges every Auburn
student, regardless of whether Democrat,
Republican, or Prohibitionist, to vote in
A u b u r n ' s mock presidential election. The
result is not likely to influence very greatly
t h e national election, but it can mean a lot
to Auburn. *
Every Hour In Class Worth $30
Engaging in verbal dog­fights
seems to be popular at
Auburn. With politics^ and
football to cuss and discuss,
t h e sarcasms and insults are
c u r r e n t l y burning the air­waves.
For those who can't live
without spewing insults and ac­cusations
at their brethren, we
of "Insulters Incorporated" offer
a short instructional course. Be­ginners
not well versed in using
the remark slurring, the sneer
egotistical, and the smile insinuat­ing
should join "The Razors Ed^ge

circle or "The

to be true members of these
public spirited groups, it is neces­sary
to practice a few fundamen­tals.
Always remember that you are
Sullivan
right and your opponent is wrong,
hopelessly and completely wrong.
By maintaining this steadfast at­titude
you may hurl insults and
scarcasms all day and slash your
acquaintances to their knees with
your unbeatable logic. Remember,
those who share your opinions
are intelligent far-seeing citizens
endowed with common sense and
all the manly virtues. Those who
do not agree with you are rascals
of the first degree who would poi­son
little ducks.
Loyal club members must al­ways
keep in mind that no reason
is needed in order to insult some­one.
Anyone can be your victim,
but we trust that you will choose
worthy and deserving opponents.
Practice on your roommates,
friends and your family if they
are available. Pay up your insur­ance
and hope for the best. Our
society is international, you will
find your brothers everywhere
and may recognize them easily.
The true insulter never apolo­gizes.
To apologize is to retreat
and that is the unforgiveable sin.
At all times speak in a nasty tone
of voice and utter cackling laughs
after each sarcastic remark to
drive your point home.
When your victim begins to get
glassy-eyed, blushes or stammers,
don't quit. Make it a complete

Cedric's Almanac
Believe it or not, every hour you spend
in class is worth $30 to you.
This figure comes from a recent issue
of The New York Times. It is based upon
the e x t r a income earned by those having a
college education.
I t is estimated that the college graduate
averages between $5,000 and $6,000 annu­ally
as opposed to approximately $3,000
earned by the non-college man or woman.
Assuming that the average student
spends about 2,500 hours in class during
his four years in college and assuming
t h a t he can look forward to 40 y e a r s of em­ployment
after his graduation, one arrives
at the worth of one hour spent in class—
approximately $30.
Next time you decide to sleep through

An Honor For API: Chemists Meeting Here
API is fortunate this week in being host
to the 1952 southeastern regional meeting
of the American Chemical Society, being
held here Thursday through Saturday.
We understand that it is the first time
t h e society has ever held its annual meet­ing
on the Auburn campus. That in itself
is an honor for API.
To the more than 300 chemists ' and
chemical engineers attending the meeting,
The Plainsman extends a w a rm welcome.
We hope that our visitors enjoy their visit
to the Plains, and that they will consider
Auburn when plans are made for next
year's conference.
Trie other night I was
dreamihg about eating a bowl
of shredded wheat and awak­ened
to find half of my mat­tress
gone. A couple of min­utes
l a t e r my roommate
awakened, thinking that he
had heard a horse eating a
wicker chair, and s t a r t e d mak­ing
conversation since we
were both wide awake and
free from our mental illusions.
- It was during
this period of
the early morn­ing
t h a t my
roomie brought
to my attention
that some of my
weekly weaklies
have contained
some remarks
that reflect a
bit of obscenity.
Nichols To those who
have been shocked by my un-cultural
remarks, I hereby dedi­cate
this week's factory reject,
and hereby take the stand to de­fend
my gutter mind. Before we
start, I'd like to recognize the two
sexes, who make it possible to
have the basis of misunderstand­ing
that I employ frequently in
my works.
I do not believe in basing any of
my columns on an obscene sub­ject,
but I do believe that remarks
based upon a misunderstanding of
delicacy, or upon unusual situa­tions
should not be omitted because
a few people object to seeing such
words as latrine, belly-button
lint, vomit and other equally harm­less
words in print. Jf such words
and phrases are used in conjunc­tion
with a situation that is not
obscene in itself, then the words
and phrases are not obscene but
are instruments in adding a bit
By Fred Nichols
of color to a dull situation.
Frankly, I think that the best
gems of literature and drama are
lost because of our American false
sense of decency. Radio programs,
plays, movies and magazines are
robbed of some of their most valu­able
bits of humor due to the
American censor system. Censor
—that's a guy who makes a living
by cutting remarks.
At the same time that we cru­cify
these mediums for catering to
vulgarity, millions of Americans
read in newspapers and maga­zines
and see on TV how they can
save their chafed bottoms from
further discomfort and are told
in flowery language that nine parts
of their body stinks. This to me
is more repulsive than all the four
letter words that can be collected
from , the walls of the various
Ti,qge r Lilies

loyalty Pledge' Humiliates California Profs

The University of California
was recently ordered by the
s t a t e supreme court to rein­s
t a t e the 18 professors who
were fired for refusing to sign
t h e so-called "loyalty pledge,"
s t a t i ng that they were not
members of the communist
party.
This, we hope, will bring to
a close the long row on the
west coast over the senseless oath.
The pledge would be all right if it
proved anything, but it doesn't. In
these times what true commie
would not sign such a pledge?
And on the other hand, it does
not prove that the professors in
question are guilty of communist
membership just because they did
not sign. It is not the American
way to force citizens to either
sign statements or lose their jobs.
Such tactics reek of Nazi Germany
and Russia.
It is shard to believe that intel­ligent
riieh who hold high univer­sity
positions could have any faith
in the,useless loyalty pledge when
dealing! with the men of commun­ist
callare. Do they honestly think
that a member of an organization
such as the commie party would
be above telling a falsehood?
At any rate, ,the supreme court
deserve a big bouquet for helping
tc-clej»r up the mess. We are not
saying the profs in question are
either innocent or guilty, but we
do say that the oath is not worth
the paper it's written on.
TIGER LILIES to Athens Col­lege.
A few paragraphs in the
Birmingham News announced that
the college is now giving free tui­tion
to all persons, over 65 years
old. While it is very commendable
of Athens College to be so gener­ous,
we can't help but wonder,
along with the News, if colleges
nearer densely-populated areas
would not soon be swamped with
the free pupils if they should de­cide
to try the idea.
Imagine Auburn, for example,
crowded with grandparents, yell­ing
"War Eagle" in quavering
voices.
Nevertheless, Athens College is
entitled to credit for their plan,
whether it would work elsewhere
or not.
|i tf i!:
A BLOSSOM to the preacher
who said last Sunday, "Most people
spend more on their life insurance
than they give to the Lord for
soul-insurance."
lie relations reasons come out
looking l i k e glorified h o me
movies. If Auburn decides to at­tempt-
the project we should insist
on traveling first class. Good
camera work, coupled with an
adequate sound system and a
competent narrator will be neces­sary
to produce the kind of film
API would be proud to show
prospective students.
The next big problem will be
just what to show in a film about
Auburn. Proper emphasis should
be given, of course, to the aca­demic
organization. Faculty, ad­ministration,
and libraries should
all be prominently shown.
In addition to these subjects,
API's attractive physical plant—
especially its recent rapid expan­sion—
and extensive lab facilities
for agricultural and technical re­search
should be well publicized.
The last, and in our opinion the
m o s t important, consideration
should be an adequate and accu­rate
presentation of the Auburn
student. We're afraid it will be
just as hard to capture the most
outstanding thing about Auburn
with film as it is with typewriter
and copypaper, but we're positive
it should be done.
The attitude with which Au­burn
students go about their daily
routine is definitely the thing
which sells API. The set-up for
student government, fraternities
and sororities, publications and
other extracurricular activities
and the spirit which this set-up
generates, should definitely be
the major part of a movie about
Auburn.
Democrats Praised
For Bringing Long
To Auburn Campus
By Herbert White
The super-active Young Demo­crats
have achieved a masterpiece
as they bring Sen. Russell Long
of Louisiana to the campus. Long
will speak on the steps of Langdon
Monday afternoon at 3:30.
This will be the only major po­litical
speech made on an Alabama
campus during the national cam­paign.
Russell Long was first elected to
the Senate in 1948, when he filled
out the term of the late John
Overton. He was then reelected
in 1952 for a full term, and thus
followed his father, who also
served in the Senate.
Until he was 12 years old Long
attended school in Shrevepo.rt,
where he frequently had to take
part in fist fights started by criti­cism
of his father.
For two years after Huey Long's
election to the Governorship of
Louisiana, young Russell lived in
the new gubernatorial mansion at
Baton Rouge. He attended high
school in Baton Rouge and was
president of his freshman class.
In attending college Long fol­lowed
the wishes of his father,
and enrolled at Louisiana State
University. At LSU he was again
elected president of his freshman
class, and in his junior year was
elected president of the student
body.
To win the presidency of the
student body Long promoted such
campus comfort stations.
Agents are not allowed to sell
art photos through the mail be­cause
of certain demoralizing <ef-fects
that would result. Our maga­zines
run hundreds of ads with
pictures of girls with blous.es cut
low enough to make a .baby cry
and suffer no ill effects. Maybe
someday we can be allowed the
same freedoms if we write our
columns in an advertisement.
Until we are granted equal privi­leges
with the country's adver­tisers,
I shall continue my "un-cultural"
journalism and take on ,
all comments with a shaker of
salt. As a famous burlesque queen
said, "It's better to be obscene
than heard."
"I won't have a young man kiss­ing
you like that, Myrtle."
"Give him a chance, D.ad. He's
just heginning."
* * *
Rich Uncle: "I'm sorry you don't
like your birthday gift, but I asked
you if you preferred large or small
checks."
Poor Nephew: "Yeh, but how
was I to know you were talking
about ties."

Dean Fred Allison
Widely Known
Among API Students
By Les Ford
Lives of great men all remind
us we should make our lives sub­lime.
—Longfellow
Several weeks ago I embark­ed
on my first journalistic en­deavor
for this year with a
few lines introducing you to
my good friend, J im Foy. That
column, unlike most that I
write, seemed to strike the
right note with many. As a re­sult
of the favorable comment, I
have decided to devote my space
every few weeks to an introduction
tc some of the other "good guys"
I have been fortunate enough to
meet here at Auburn.
In choosing an outstanding Au-burnite
to talk
ji* a b o u t this
\ week, I didn't
| have to think
: long. I was tak-
| ing my usual
; morning h i ke
I from Cary to
I Broun, trying
to take advant­age
of the time
in the rain by
picking a sub­ject
for this
week. Just as I passed Tichenor,
something small and seemingly
insignificant passed with a friend­ly
greeting. I strained my eyes
trying to r e c o g n i z e who,
under that mass of raincoat and
hat, could be so cheerful in such
awful weather. Finally with my
usual insight I uttered a "Good
morning, Doctor Allison" and
trudged'on feeling like a new man.
As I moved on toward my des­tination
several miles, in the dis­tance,
I thought back of the time
when I first met Dr. Fred Allison.
Dean of Auburn's School of
Graduate Studies and head of the
physics department. Once, be­ing
more or less forced into at­tending
a fraternity tea, I was
saved from the torture by his art
of story telling. His narration of
his college dating experiences
kept about 10 other boys and my­self
enchanted through the entire
affair.
Doctor Allison's cultural and
scientific achievements w o u ld
stagger the average mind, but it
doesn't seem to form a barrier
between him and the student. I
doubt if there are 10 men on this
campus that are as widely known
or as favorably talked of by Au­burn
students.
After receiving h i s under­graduate
education from Emory
ancf Henry College, where he laid
aside his studies long enough to
v/in the singles championship in
tennis and play shortstop on the
college baseball team, he coached
the first basketball team ever
fielded by the school.
"We weren't too successful with
the young game of basketball,"
he smiles, "but the squad did
pretty well after -I left." Doctor
Allison did pretty well after he
left too, the scientific world agrees,
ar. he devised an entirely new
scientific technique, the magneto-optic
method of analysis.
Utilizing this new technique, he
and his co-workers were the first
scientists to ever detect the pre­sence
of t h e heavy isotope of
hydrogen—deuterium—and two
new chemical elements, virginium
and alabamine.
Sadie: "Is it true that the pro­fessor
who took you dancing last
night is a little dull?"
Grace: "Dull? Why he's the
type of guy who thinks sex is a
number between five and seven."
—. — , 1 t
stunts as painting his name on
coed swimmers, dropping pam­phlets
from airplanes, serving free
ice cream, and promising some
benefits on the improvement of
laundry and bus service.
He also hecame a leader of the
non-fraternity students on the
campus, although he was a mem­ber
of Delta Kappa Epsilon Fra­ternity.
The last major political speech
on the Auburn campus was in
1946 when Rep. John Sparkrnan
spoke while campaigning for the
senate. Now, six years later Rus­sell
Long speaks on Sparkman's
behalf for the vice-presidency.
All Democrats and the "Republi­cans
for Stevenson" should attend
this rally,

Full Christian Development Stressed
In Church Of Christ's Youth Program
By Howard Skelton
The Church of Christ, on East Glenn Avenue in Auburn,
provides a place for students to grow spiritually as well as
m e n t a l l y while they a r e in college at Auburn.
Full Christian development is stressed with the concept
t h a t God has a vital place in t h e lives of young Christians.
Church of Christ activities sup­ply
ample opportunity for this
Christian development as the col­lege
students have their own
^ Sunday School class, Youth For­um,
and Young Peoples' Chorus.
THE SUNDAY School class
meets every Sunday morning at
10 and Youth Forum is held on
Sunday nights at 6:30. Dr. Wil-ford
Bailey, of the API School of
Veterinary Medicine, is director
of both activities. At Youth For-will
make tape recordings for the
church's radio programs.
ONE OF THE major projects of
student members is printing of
the church bulletin. The bulletin,
which is given to church members
at the morning service, is also
mailed by the students to church
members who are sick and shut-in.
C. W. Whitten, pastor of .the
Church of Christ, is very much
urn, round table conferences are interested in the college students
held which give the students op­portunity
to participate in the
discussions on practical phases of
Christian life.
Students attending the Church
of Christ participate in musical
programs of the church and plans
are underway to form a Young
Peoples' Chorus, which possibly
and is available to them for con­sultation
at all times.

Plainsmen Alert For Initial SEC Win
As Dooley, Duke, Baker Play At Home
Pushing spryly through the maze of Georgia Tech's 33
whirlwind points is the brilliant hope and anticipation of a
first conference win for the Plainsmen against Tulane in Mo­bile
tomorrow. The return of Vince Dooley provides a shin­ing
figure in the Plainsman spectrum, and he, along with
Bobby Duke and Ed Baker, will perform before homefolks.
Unexpectedly the Golden Tornado's adept defense, one of the best
in the nation, is what blew Auburn down in
Atlanta. Tech's hard tackling caused the
majority of six Auburn fumbles and their
defensive backs suddenly turned two of four
pass interceptions into touchdowns.
Auburn, who seemingly plays best on
alternate Saturdays, surpassed the play of
the Engineers for the first period, but
erred too often after that to be effective
the remainder of the way. Until Saturday
the Plainsmen had lost but one fumble,
that one going to Ole Miss in Memphis.
Tech's expeditious backs, among them
Larry Ruffin and Bill Teas, didn't find ex­ceptionally
rough going at the Auburn ends
(because of the former's incredible speed)
as they did through the inner parts of the Auburn line whose rug-gedness
was similar to last year's. Only 121 yards rushing were
compiled by Tech ball carriers through the Plainsman wall.
Auburn's standouts of the defensive forwards were Bill Turn-beaugh,
Bill Kilpatrick, and Jack Langford. Offensively Capt. Lee
Hayley sparked the Auburn line.
Bobby Jordan, whose play at safety has been superb all year,
along with defensive backfield cohort Percy Alford warrant praise
for their, wor,k as did Dudley Spence for his again magnificent
punting.
Quarterbacks of the fireside, Monday morning, and armchair
varieties reportedly had a field day after this really undecisive, but
apparently decisive, contest. While going their way finding fault
with the Auburn performance, all of them evidently forgot that our
most recent foe is considered by none to be worse than fifth nationally,
and three of our first four encounters were with teams ranked within
the country's first 20.
—Basketball 'Buck' Passed to Eaves' Cagers
Last week, as basketball practice commenced around the SEC
courts, Auburn's greying cage tutor, Joel Eaves, received a compli­ment
concerning his proteges which he really wished hadn't been
passed his way.
. Tulane's crafty, diminutive Cliff Wells, one of the conference's
veteran mentors, declared that since Kentucky was out of the
running for the SEC basketball crown, Auburn along with Louisi­ana
State and Florida should finish one, two, three when the final
basketball standings are posted next spring.
A move like this puts the Plainsmen on the spot, and is termed
a good example of buck-passing down at the Field House. Last year
the Tigers lost some close games to finish 6-8 conferencewise.
This time the same men return, excepting Inman Veal, who was
signed by the Detroit Tigers, and the graduated Capt. Roger Weldon,
plus some new faces of transfer students and freshmen, and could
shove the Plainsmen home high in the first division.
Recently elected captain, senior Bubber Farish of Monroeville
will lead the new edition of cagers into a 14-game conference
slate when Georgia Tech is guest here December 10.
A highlight of the onrushing cage season is the acceptance of a
bid by the locals to the Memphis Invitational Tournament which
involves Auburn, Ole Miss, Memphis State, and University of Arizona.
SPENCE LUGS LEATHER BEHIND BLOCKING BY HAT AW AY
—Tiger Topics
Harry (Atlanta Journal) Mehre—"This 1952 Auburn team is a
good one, but the personnel is just not there to expect the Tigers
to jump into the first division of the conference. The Tigers will win
some games, surely, but their sensational play of a year ago and
their fine start this year, have taken them out' of the breather class
and every opponent is shooting the works at them."
Bob (Atlanta Journal) Christian—"Snug Jordan, in expressing a
few of his impressions of this fall's football, maintains 'We have a
much better ball club than last year but I would have a heckuva
time proving that point. However, the conference as a whole is much
faster, better balanced, and I think we have 12 good football teams
in our league. . . We expect to have Jackie Creel back for duty Satur­day
against Tulane—he will give us the speed that we' needed so
much against Tech.' "
Naylor (Birmingham Post-Herald) Stone—"Auburn's Dudley
Spence, threatening an all-time record, maintained his conference
passing lead last week against Georgia Tech. Spence's accuracy per­centage
of .633 (31 of 49 passes complete for 388 yards and four touch­downs)
rival the all-time SEC mark of .648 set by Alabama's Harry
Gilmer in 1945."
Bob (Birmingham Post-Herald) Phillips—"Auburn's chances of
spilling the favored Greenies seem to hinge upon the return to duty of
Vince Dooley. If Dooley's knee stands up, you can look for enough
offensive improvement to give the Tiger6 a touchdown or two. The
Tigers have good kicking, and they have good defense against running
plays. Our prediction: Tulane 20, Auburn 14."
Plainsmen Cagers Drill With Eye
On Memphis Invitational Tournament
By Larry Conner
With the opening basketball game only a little oveij a
month away, Coach Joel Eaves has begun to step up the
tempo of drills for his cagers. Faced with a tough 20 game
schedule, which includes 15 tilts with SEC opponents, the
Tigers are out to improve their 14-12 record of last season.
The Plainsmen took to the
hardwood for the first time this
year Tuesday. Previously they
had been going through condition­ing
drills outdoors. Night prac­tice
will start for the varsity - on
October 28, though the freshmen
will continue daytime practice a
little longer.
The Tigers scored 1,653 points
during the 1951-52 season, an all-time
high for a Plainsman cage
team. From /this sharpshooting
aggregation the Tigers return eight
lettermen: forwards Bill Fickling,
John Cochran, and Gordon Mum-mert;
center Bob Fenn, and guards
Bubber Farrish, Jack Turner and
football star Vince Dooley. Cap­tain
Bubber Farish will be the
only senior on the team this year,
Highlight of the early part djE
the coming season will be the
participation in the Memphis In­vitational
Basketball Tournament
January 2 and 3. In this holiday
tcurney, the Tigers will be facing
Ole Miss, Memphis State and the
University of Arizona.

Many Mishaps Break Tiger's Back;
Invincible Tornado Roars On, 33-0
By Larry Conner
The fighting Auburn Tigers chased the vaunted Yellow
Jackets of Georgia Tech all over Grant Field for two quarters
Saturday in Atlanta before a numbing series of mishaps broke
the backs of the invading Plainsmen and the hearts of their
loyal followers.
Plainsmen To Meet Tulane
Before 37,000 spectators the
Tigers gave their all against one
of the nation's finest grid powers,
but it was not enough. Six lost
fumbles a n d four intercepted
passes tipped the scales in favor
of the Rambling Wrecks for a
stunning 33-0 count.
SPARKED BY the passing and
kicking of quarterback Dudley
Spence, the Tigers carried the
light to the heavily favored Jac­kets
through the entire first half.
The first quarter was all Auburn,
with the Tigers moving deep into
Tech territory only to be stopped
once on the 2 yard line and again
on the 18.
Spence's booming kicks kept
the Yellow Jackets pinned to
their goal line throughout the in­itial
period when he was not
spearheading drive after drive
against Tech's inner defenses.
TECH WAS able to make only
one concerted effort toward the
Auburn goal line in the first half;
this occurred late in the second
quarter. The threat was broken up
by Percy Alford who intercepted
one of Bill Brigman's tosses in the
end zone and scampered back to
the Tiger 29 yard line.
Two plays later came the be­ginning
of the end for Auburn, as
Bobby Moorehead, brilliant Tech
sideback, plucked one of Spence's
passes out of the air and electri­fied
the crowd with a twisting,
turning, 46 yard run for a touch­down.
Pepper Rogers' try for the
point was good and Tech led at
halftime 7-0.
AS HOSTILITIES were resum­ed
in the third quarter, the Tig­ers
got into a hole when Hataway
fumbled and Tech recovered on
the Auburn 18. Brigman passed to
Knox for a first down on the 7
yard line, but the ferocious Au­burn
defenders dug in and held.
A fake field goal attempt on 4th
down was thwarted and Auburn
took over.
Freeman fumbled and Tech had
the ball again on the 7. Not to be
denied this time, Tech tallied with
Billy Teas circling left end for the
marker.
On the second play after the
ensuing kick-off lightning struck
again in the same place. Bobby
Moorehead intercepted another
pass and returned this one 41
yards for a touchdown. The Au­burn
line smothered Rogers' extra
point attempt and Tech wasahead
19-0.
AUBURN RECOVERED long
(Continued on page 8)
Tigers Faced With Mobile 'Jinx'
In Tilt With Favored Green Wave
By -Dave "Foots" Laney
The Auburn Plainsmen complete the first half of t h e foot'
ball season tomorrow in Mobile,, w h e r e they refire an old
r i v a l r y as underdogs against Tulane's strong Greenies. Ladd
Stadium kickoff time is set for 2 p.m.
A happy note was sounded in the Auburn camp this week
upon the return of Auburn's ad­roit
split-T operator, Vince Doo-ley,
who has been out since the
Ole Miss game. Dudley Spence,
who performed very ably at the
signal-calling post, will share the
quarterback duties with Dooley.
GREENIE COACH Raymond
"Bear" Wolf, former Florida
mentor, had a noble experiment
c a l l e d "moderation football"
dumped in his lap following the
resignation of last year's Henry
Frnka, but still held SEC powers
Georgia', Georgia Tech, and Ole
Miss in check before falling by
narrow margins earlier this fall.
The Greenies' lone win in four
games is a 35-0 romp over the
Pacific Coast's Santa Clara.
Overall, the Auburn record
reads the iame as Tulane's—one
win (Wofford) and three losses
(Maryland, Ole Miss, and Tech).
Comparatively, Ole Miss beat the
Greenies six points and Auburn
13 points; Tech squeezed Tulane
by 14 points and Auburn by 33.
Pete Clement, Greenie quarter­back,
is one of the league's top
passers and has at his command
one of the South's better back-fields
in halfbacks Lester Ken­nedy
and Roy Bailey and full­back
Max McGee. Though the
Greenies predominantly employ
the standard T, Coach Wolf has
integrated some double wing
plays into the Tulane attack.
A PUNTING DUEL looms be­tween
the Plainsmen's Spence
and the Greenies' McGee. Both
are in the upper crust of the con­ference's
punters, and McGee,
earlier in the season, led the na­tion
in kicking.
Auburn and Tulane are very
reminiscent of last year when the
Plainsmen, traveling to New Or­leans
as a four touchdown under­dog,
punched the Greenies 21-0
in their own house, the fabulous
,Sugar Bowl. Ironically, that was
the final SEC victory for Auburn
last year.
THE AUBURN-TULANE foot­ball
series is 32 games long and
dates back to 1902, when the two
elevens battled to a scoreless tie.
Since then Auburn has won 11
games compared to Tulane's 15,
and five have been deadlocked.
Auburn's appearances in Ladd
Stadium have thus far been jinx-ed.
Of four games in this~all-steel
structure, the Plainsmen have
gone winless, losing to Clemson
there in 1948, and to Ole Miss in
1951, while being tied by both
Florida and Clemson there in
1949.
Outstanding Player
To Be Presented
Trophy By A-Club
A goal beyond t h e respected
v a r s i t y "A" award made to
Auburn's athletes has been
made possible by the A-Club,
it was announced this week by
Bill McMurry, A-Club presi­dent.
Auburn's varsity lettermen's
society moved recently to award
to the most outstanding indivi­dual
in each of the four major
sports at the Plains a trophy sig­nifying
that particular player's
selection for the honor. Sports in
which the award will be made are
football, basketball, track, and
baseball.
McMURRY emphasized t-h a t
this will be the first time in the
history of API such an award has
been made.
The A-Club has already select­ed
an elaborate, 25-inch trophy
with the inscription, "Presented
to Most Outstanding Football
Player . . . Auburn 1952 . . . Pre­sented
by A-Club." This trophy,
on display at a local jeweler's
will be awarded during t he
halftime activities of the Clem-son-
Auburn football game, the
last home contest of the season.
TROPHY AWARDS to other
most outstanding players will be
presented at the last home contest
of the season pertinent to that
particular sport in which the pre­sentation
is made.

Frank Huskin
I, Frank Huskin, as a candidate
for the office of freshman senator
in the forthcoming election, wish
to state my platform which is as
follows:
Since coming here to Auburn,
I have found a few situations
which could be improved to the
advantage of the student body.
The principle deficiency is to be
found in the method of allocation
of student football tickets. I have
often found it impossible to obtain
seats next to my friends. I believe
that a section for students only
could be reserved at all home
games and many of the out of town
games. The students purchasing
tickets within this section would
be allowed to sit anywhere in
he section.
Your vote and support will be
greatly appreciated, but wriether 1
win or lose, I will always think
first in terms of the student body
and Auburn.

This is our first chance to voice
our opinions in the Auburn Stu­dent
Government. This is our
challenge and opportunity to
speak loudly and wisely from the
start—from the very first we
must make ourselves heard!
With these facts in mind I ask
you to go to the polls and elect

that is within my power to r e ­present
you fairly and with an
open mind.
Since class officers no longer
exist, the freshman class as such

we respond with a plan to supple­ment
their extrhct duties. My plan
is to form a representative group
of 10 freshmen. This group will

Dick Scott
We, as freshmen in the class of
1956, have already seen the very
active part the student govern­ment
has in life here at Auburn.
If elected as one of your fresh­man
senators, I would consider it
my duty to represent the thoughts
and wishes of the freshman class
in the student government, and
would appreciate this chance to
work toward building an even
Greater Auburn.
While in high school in Fair-hope,
I had experience working
with and leading various student
activities which I believe will en­able
me to effectively direct my
efforts to the benefit of the fresh­man
class.
Your vote is a cherished posses-represent
I sion for you to use as you see fit.
freshman If you should see fit to elect Dick
Scott as freshman senator on
October 30, I would show my ap­preciation
by working hard in
office.
Tech Wins
(Continued from page 7)
enough to move to the offensive
on the good pitching arm of Dud­ley
Spence, who uncorked two 20
yard passes that carried the
Tigers deep into the land of the
Yellow Jackets. The last hope
died when Jackie Patterson inter­cepted
the next one on the Tech
23.
Tech added to the Tigers misery
with two more touchdbwns in the
last stanza. The depth of Tech
reserves was responsible for the
Yellow Jackets being able to
move all the way over the tired
Tigers for the first time all after­noon
without assist from the de­fensive
team.
Harenjan scored the 5th TD
from the 2 after a 44 yard ad­vance,
and Pepper Rogers passed
to Dave Davis for the final score
in the winning ^moments of the
last quarter.
Trying to attract that new
classmate? Sure—why not?
But wandering around the
campus looking unkempt and
unfemininc, too, is bound to
frighten, not lure him. She?d
better sit dewn, at the ear-liest
moment possible, and
figure out a sounder, more
lady-like approach.
it's the wa mm do it
Being well groomed always
is cne sure-fire way to gel
that man. And by the same
tcken, keeping your linens
well groomed is a sure way to
keep them bright as new for
the longest time possible.
Better send them to us, today,
for expert attention.

Affected by Smoking Chesterfields
FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED
ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE
r
A responsible consulting organization has
reported the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff on the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.
A g r o u p Of p e o p l e from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount of Chesterfields— 10 to 40 a day.
4 5 % of the group have smoked Chesterfields con­tinually
from one to thirty years for an average of
10 years each.
At t h e b e g i n n i n g and at the end of the six-months
period each smoker was given a thorough
examination, including X-ray pictures, by the
medical specialist and his assistants. The exam­ination
covered the sinuses as well as the nose,
ears and throat. v
The m e d i c a l s p e c i a l i s t , after a thorough exam­ination
of every member of the group, stated:
" I t is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and
accessory organs of all participating subjects ex­amined
by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
