Registrar's Staff
Lacks Cooperativeness
Of Other Offices
By War Eagle
One of the most interesting
things to watch at Auburn is
the c o n t i n u a l cooperation
which students find available
in most of the college's admin­istrative
offices. I use the term
"most" in this instance because
I intend to utilize this space to
point out what I consider the
most outstanding exception on
the campus.
One office of major and cam­pus-
wide importance has appar­ently
lost sight of its obligation in
the matter of student service. We
refer to the Office of the Regis­trar.
I think it proper to state at this
point that this column is not a
personal criticism of the registrar,
or of any of his staff. Instead, it
is a criticism of a general at­titude
which seems to pervade
that office.
There are, of course, exceptions.
Some of the registrar's personnel
are quite helpful and understand­ing,
but by and large, the aver­age
student is a dreamer if he
expects any sort of satisfaction
from a visit to the registrar's of­fice,
regardless of the nature of
his errand.
It is a difficult matter to pin
down specific instances of the at­titude
in question. It is, rather, a
general feeling of mixed hosti­lity
and indifference which greets
the student at the door.
Since the duties of receptionist
are apparently unassigned, stu­dents
sometimes stand around
five or ten minutes before being
approached by anyone. After that
is accomplished, they are often
met with indifference, or with a
plain stall.
For instance, it is utterly im­possible
to check your credits
toward graduation in less than
two trips to the office. If the
check is to be made during an
unusually busy time at the office,
this is understandable.

By Les Ford
Distribution of the 1953 Glomerata began yesterday and
will continue through tomorrow afternoon, according to an
announcement by Editor Ed Martin, Sylacauga, today.
Members of the student body may pick up their Glom-eratas

basement of Samford Hall, Mar
tin stated. Any student now en­rolled
who has attended Auburn
for the past three quarters is eli­gible
to receive a copy of the year­book
at no cost.
CONTAINING 400 pages, the
new editon of the Auburn annual
utilizes Auburn traditions for its
theme. Martin stated, "Many
things here at Auburn are con­stantly
changing, but there are
also many others that continue to
remain the same year after year.
For this reason, we have attempt­ed
to portray the constancy of our
campus traditions."
Inside the grey-blue and gold-orange
cover of the 56th edition
of the Glomerata, is found the
following sections—schools, ath­letics,
beauties, fraternities, so­rorities,
favorites, activities or­ganizations
snapshots classes and
advertising.
THE ENGRAVING for the book
was done by the Alabama Engrav­ing
Company in Birmingham and
the book was printed by Benson
Printing Co. of Nashville, Tenn.
The completed annual contains
over 8,000 photographs and ap­proximately
one million words.
Fifty-four hundred copies have
been printed at a total cost of soon as possible.
approximately $32,000.
"I THINK THAT a great step
ties was shown by the whole­hearted
cooperation which we re­ceived
from our large staff (40
persons)," Martin commented.
"Student response to the re­quest
for snapshots, which make
up such a large part of the new
Glomerata, was excellent. We
could not have expected any bet­ter
cooperation."
Circulation manager John Arn­old
stated that there will be some­one
on hand to distribute the
Gloms at any time between 8 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m. through tomorrow
afternoon.

Air Force Lists Summer Camp Sites
For 91 Auburn AFROTC Cadets
The problem of matching Air Force ROTC cadets from 46
states with summer camp sites in 23 states was solved last
week.
Brigadier General Matthew K. Deichelmann, Commandant
of the Air Force ROTC, announced that all 17,000 Air Force
ROTC c a d e t s attending this. ..
y e a r s summer camps uh~a ve„ Kbe« Qe„n ' mer encampment at camp sites as
assigned to one of the 60 Air Force
bases housing the camp sites.
SUMMER CAMP project offi­cers
at Air Force ROTC head­quarters
in Montgomery, had the
job of planning the cadet assign­ments.
The job was made diffi­cult
by the conflicting locations
of the bases and the Air Force

ROTC detachments in the United
States, Puerto Rico and Hawaii
will attend the camps. The 60 Air
Force bases capable of handling
the camps are primarily located in
the South and the Southwest. The
migration of the cadets will, there­fore,
follow a southerly and south­westerly
pattern to the camp sites.
indicated. Those cadets who will
attend and their camp sites are:
ELLINGTON AIR FORCE
BASE, Texas (22 June to 18 July,
1953)—Richard A. Baker, Auburn;
Edward L. Battle, Ashland; Robert
A. Betts, Jr., Opelika; George P.
Bridges, Notasulga; Fitzhugh G.
Bush, Auburn; Gaston O. Bush,
Notasulga; George R. Burns, Ash­land;
Alfred D. Brown, Birming­ham;
Samuel W. Carpenter, Jr.,
Wedowee; James T. Carter, Ed­monton,
Ky.; Charles F. Daniel,
Tuskegee; William L. Dennis, Au­burn.
MOST OF THE students
travel an average of 750 miles to
reach the bases for the four-week
encampments. About the only
self-supporting area with enough
camps for local cadets is the Pa­cific
Northwest.
Cadets attending camp from
large Air Force ROTC detach­ments
are likely to be divided in­to
three or more groups. This will
give cadets a chance to mix with
students from other areas as we'll
as enable the Air Force to place
them at camps most feasibly lo­cated
from a planning standpoint.
Last year 11,476 students took
part in the summer encampments
at 59 camp sites. The summer camp
is a required part of the four-year
AFROTC course and must be com­pleted
before a commission is
granted. Usually the camp is at­tended
by students between the
junior and senior years.
CADETS WILL cover a 188-
hour training program designed to
give them the practical application
of three years of classroom work
in preparing for commissions as
second lieutenants in the Air
Force.

Why Musi We Fight? LITTLE MAN'WtAMPlfl by DfcJTifbK?
Beyond a doubt, t h e most pressing prob­l
em which faces any non-veteran male
college student is his post-graduate ad­justment
to a v i r t u a l l y inevitable t e rm of
m i l i t a r y service.
The necessity for e n t e r i n g the armed
forces is p a r t i c u l a r l y distasteful to persons
just out of college because of its unfortun­a
t e timing. The g r a d u a t e sees the l u r e of
a good civilian position, and feels that at
last he has gotten his life out of t h e for-
' mative stage and is about to satisfactorily
begin his chosen career.
While he doesn't look upon college
y e a r s as wasted, a student may regard
t h em as non-productive. Graduation, then,
gives a chance to finally start doing some­thing.
And it is at this point that t h e spectre
of coming m i l i t a r y service usually intrudes
on the rosy vision.
The thought of t w o (or more) additional
"wasted" y.?ars is enough to drive practi­cally
any g r a d u a t e to uncharted heights of
frustration. The pseudo-cynicism affected
by many collegians aggravates the condi­tion
still further, since it immediately la­bels
any appeal to p a t r o i t i sm as "flag wav­ing."
I n view of these conditions, it frequent­ly
requires an event of some emotional
magnitude to shock the graduate back to
a realistic view of his obligation to this
nation.
Such an event took place on t h e API
campus last week, when the m i l i t a r y drill
field was officially dedicated "As a t r i b u te
to those officers and men of t h e Armed
Services who . . . have given their lives
in defense of t h e i r country and in resisting
t h e spread of Communist aggression, and
as atfurther t r i b u t e to t h e courage and faith
of Auburn students in t h e i r determination
to preserve the freedom and ideals for
which generations of Americans have sac­rificed
so much."
Trite as it may Sound, the dedication
service, which saw t h e field officially nam­ed
for Maj. Max A. Morris, former API
student who was killed in Korea, was an
observance which should make Auburnites
stop and think.
Anyone who wonders why he must
sacrifice civilian plans to serve this nation
should have been there. If they have any
t r o u b l e in m a k i n g a moral justification for
t h e i r legal obligation, it would have been
a fruitful experience indeed.
I n an effort to answer t h e questions of
whether military service is fair in the
sacrifices it demands, we offer below the
t e x t of t h e speech delivered by A P I ' s Pres­ident
Ralph B. Draughon as he and the
Corps of Cadets offered their highest t r i ­b
u t e to Major Morris last week:
"Colonel Klepinger, honored guests,
men of t h e Corps of C a d e t s:
"It is altogether f i t t i ng and proper that
we of Auburn honor the armed forces of
t h e United States on t h i s occasion by com-memmorating
here the service and self-sacrifice
of one who gave his life in t he
defense of t h e country; and who some years
ago came here as a student, and who r e ­ceived
his t r a i n i n g here, and was commis­sioned
to the Regular Army by reason of
his character, courage, and leadership
ability.
"It is a p p r o p r i a t e thus to honor one of
Auburn's illustrous sons by giving his
name to this m i l i t a r y field. While a stu­dent
here, he demonstrated his unselfish
devotion to duty and his great heart by
o u t s t a n d i n g leadership on the football
field, in the Cadet Corps, in scholarship,
and in student affairs. More than that,
he risked his own life in an effort to save
t h a t of one of his fellow cadets.
" I t was t h i s great capacity for unselfish
service and devotion to d u t y t h a t made h im
an outstanding officer. These are the
qualities that have made commissioned
officers from these ROTC units stand high
in the armed forces. It is, therefore, with
t h e hope that the character of Maj. Max
Morris will continue to inspire the cadets
of t h e ROTC of Auburn, t h a t t h e Board of
Trustees has named this field for him.
"It may be that God in His own good
time may restore peace among men and
t h a t t h e world may k n ow t r a n q u i l i t y again.
Such is our devout and earnest prayer.
"But I am convinced that the country
will always need men t r a i n e d to t h e disci­plines
of duty and service, and that the
lessons both of obedience and of command,
learned here on Max Morris Field will be
beneficial to the cadets throughout their
lives in peaceful pursuits and in war if
t h a t be their destiny."
A Big Boost For Lecture Series
In working out a tentative slate of
events for next year, t h e API Lecture and
Concert Committee has come up with an
idea which may answer the many long­standing,
complaints about the insipidness
of the series' lecture events.
Although still indefinite, plans are afoot
to bring "America's Town Meeting," a
widely-heard A m e r i c a n Broadcasting
Company Network radio program to' t he
API campus as one of next year's attrac­tions.
The proposal has several angles which
make it, on t h e surface at least, quite at­t
r a c t i v e as a local event.
"America's Town Meeting" is a radio
series of considerable nation-wide reputa­tion,
and a local broadcast could prove one
Of the most interesting lecture events to
be brought here in many years.
The program runs one and one-half
. hours and its format includes a 45 minute
" w a rm up' period which the moderator
conducts w i t h audience participation.
During this time he i n s t r u c t s t h e audience
as to t h e i r patricipation during the broad­cast,
and conducts a p r e p a r a t o r y discussion
on the topic selected for the evening's
meeting.
The broadcast itself runs an additional
45 minutes, and includes at least two na­tionally
prominent speakers, who discuss
a topic selected by the local sponsoring
group. The selection of participants and
topic are subject, of course, to approval by
t h e broadcast staff. An ABC producer and
engineer accompany the moderator and
speakers on t h e program's tours.
While on tour, the program presents
about t h i r t y programs annually in cities
other than New York. According to ad­vance
information these tours have been
highly successful when sponsored by
chambers of commerce, civic groups, col­leges
or other local agencies. .
Not to be ignored is t h e publicity which
will be afforded the city and t h e i n s t i t u t i on
when a program originating here is fed
i n to t h e 300-station ABC Network.
We are aware that the Lecture and
Concert Committee is working under han­dicaps.
The omnipresent budget—which
h a u n t s all forms of e x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r activi­ty—
as well as other r e t a r d i n g factors must
be reckoned with.
The committee has a good start, how­ever,
and we strongly hope that their ef­forts
to bring "America's Town Meeting"
to the campus will be r e w a r d e d with suc­cess.

Maybe .my uncle was right
when he shouted a loud warning
to me as my bus left for new
horizons. He tried to tell me that
the laymen just don't dig my

and a pack of Beechnut in my
hip pocket the decision had been
made—the tour must go on as
planned.
Yep, there I was, traveling to

in one of those once-every-four-

During that first week that my
show was in the big city, I made
enough money to last me the rest
of my life—provided that I didn't
live until the next Sunday. The
next few days were pretty good,
and there was one show that I had
the audience in the palm of my
hand. That will give you an idea
how large the audience was. I
spent so much time dodging tom­atoes

me "Punchy." They just didn't

dodging their sterling cans. That

New Service, Social Croup Organizes
By JoAnne Lucci
Dfflno on Tioheaor Avenue, Phone AHI 24". Deadline for social and organizational news Is Saturday noon. Entered ai
•stund-clasH matter at the pont office, at Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by mall; |l.vi)-S months, |».00-1 year,
A new group is now being or­ganized
on the campus. It is a
service, and social organization for
independent women students call­ed
"Aquila."
Recently five or six Auburn
women were euests at the Uni-v
e r s i t y of
Georgia where
an i n t e r c o l ­legiate
conven­tion
of inde­pendent
group
representatives
was held. Tri-quetra,
the hos­tess
g r o u p,
showed all their
visitors a good
time.
A dance, a
picnic and a banquet were among
the events attended by the Au­burn
coeds. Such schools as the
University of South Carolina and
Stetson were among those repre­sented.
In all, about 25 girls were
guests of the Georgia Triquetra.
Here at API, there is a definite
need for such a group, and we are
happy to see one being organized.
Not only will it afford independ­ent
girls a social outlet, but it
could, and we hope will, develop
into a powerful service group.
At present, Aquila is still very
much in its infancy, and so has
not undertaken any service proj-
Lucci
ects as yet; but the potential good
such a group could do is practi­cally
unlimited.
Dormitories I and VII are the
only ones organized so far, but it
is hoped that soon Aquila divis­ions
will be located in every dorm
which wants one.
Not intended to replace the Au­burn
Independent Organization, or
any other social or service fra­ternity,
Aquila members hope to
cooperate with existing groups for
the betterment of Auburn.
Having the approval of the Dean
of Women's office, Aquila feels
that it has a good start this spring,
and feels that it can definitely be
a functioning organization by next
fall.
Just as it is not to be thought of
as a replacement for any existing
organization, neither is Aquila
to be considered a political party.
Its purpose, in the words of its
so-far unofficial constitution, is
five-fold: (1) to create interest
in extra-curricular a c t i v i t i es
among API women not affiliated
with a social sorority, (2) to pro­mote
service projects for the bene­fit
of the entire student body, (3)
to maintain a spirit of cooperation
and good will toward the college,
AIO, and other social and service
groups, (4) to encourage scholar-continued

Governor's Day Dispute
Could Be Settled Easily
Never ascribe to an opponent
motives meaner than your own.
—Barrie
By Les Ford
Another Governor's Day cele­bration
was held on the Univer­sity
of Alabama campus last
Thursday, and the editor of the
Crimson-White, the student week­ly
there, seems quite perturbed
over the fact that Governor Gor­don
Persons was unable to attend
again this year.
According to Editor Bruce Har­rison
in his
editorial, "We
h a v e heard
excuse after
excuse f r om
our Governor
as to why he
can't come to
t h i s celebra­tion
in h is
h o n o r a nd
none of them
are good.
"We can
understand a man sticking up for
his alma mater, but we can't un­derstand
a Governor completely
ignoring the state university
when it wants to honor him.
"No excuse is good enough for
him to miss Governor's Day. He
should arrange his schedule so
that he could at least come here
once every year."
It appears that the new editor
of the sheet is following in the
footsteps of his asinine predeces­sor,
in assuming that the state
executive has deliberately ignor­ed
the University in the events.
In insinuating that he is favoring
his alma mater (Auburn) and in­sulting
its rival institution, Har­rison
evidently failed to check the
facts as to Persons' visits to the
respective institutions since he
became Governor.
The Governor obviously dis­likes
public appearances and
speeches, and, therefore, has
avoided such occasions whether it
involved 'Bama or Auburn. The
only time he has been on the
Auburn campus for an address
since his inauguration was for an
annual Omicron Delta Kappa
banquet, immediately following
his initiation into the society.
Harrison blindly states that no
excuse is good enough for missing
the occasion, and says that the
governor should arrange h i s
schedule so that he could be there
at least once a year. The point
that he obviously overlooked is
that those who scheduled the
event at that particular time were
at fault. What could be a more
inconvenient time for a Governor
to leave the capital, than when
the legislative session was just
getting underway?
In the future, the persons re­sponsible
might arrange for the
event to fall on a date convenient
with the Governor, if they desire
his presence. An even better idea
would be to forget the incessant
desire to mix politics and educa­tion
and not schedule the event
at all.

Consider The Architecture Student
ing this short stay, I performed
for many influential big boys of
the city. One fellow was staring
at me while I was going through
my Cheeta imitations and decided
that he would add the missing
element, so he pounded on his
chest and bellowed out a Tarzan
yell that would make Lex Barker
sound like Sinatra with lyarngy-tis.
At that instant, my show was
ruined, the elephant that I had
just caused to disappear charged
out of the trap in the floor, step­ped
on my pair of brogans, there­by
ending my soft-shoe act, and
ran off snorting and hip blocking
the crowd. My act was changed,
and I must say that did kill 'em.
From that point on. I decided
that my talents could be best ex­pressed
in another medium. Since
the circus was in town I figured
that they would hire a barker of
my calibre. After demonstrating
my ability drumming up trade
for "Herbo, the human argyle, he
walks he talks he crawls on his
belly like a reptile," the manager
climbed up on the platform. He
said that I was hired and that
money was no object, so he didn't
offer me any. That was all.
Shoving my half used pack of
. Beechnut in my hip pocket I rode
the rails back home. When Unc
saw me climb out from under the
freight that runs every week at
home, he ran to me cursing loudly
about those yankee carpetbaggers
that stole all my money. I didn't
have the heart to tell him what
had happened, especially since
the excitement of my homecom­ing
put him in a coma.
For four days old Unc lay flat
on his back with 107 in bed—and
believe me, that's pretty crowded.
Anyway, Unc passed away and
expressed his last wish—"bury
me face down." Yep, Unc always
liked to see where he was going.
This is the time of the quarter
when students begin to knuckle
down to the arduous task of giv­ing
all for the home stretch. Those
who are required to do so are
putting the fin­ishing
touches
o n problems
a n d t h e s e s.
T h i s requires
an all-out ef­fort
and numer­ous
hours of
work . . . long,
hard hours of
toil over the
drawing board
or the desk.
Those things
are enough to cope with without
having to worry about a place
with adequate facilities to ac­complish
the job. This is particu­larly
true in the case of. students
who are enrolled in the School of
Architecture and the Arts.
It was once a custom to allow
the students to work in the archi­tecture
building anytime they
chose. I can -remember walking
Everidge
by Biggin Hall late at night and
seeing the lights blazing as stu­dents
tackled their class work. I
often thought, at that time, that
those persons were getting the
benefit from their subjects. That
the fact that the lights were on
proved the existence of a genuine
interest in their work.
However, the lights have been
shut off at 11 p.m. on week days,
and 6 p.m. on Satudays for some
time. Biggin Hall has been shut
every Sunday. To me, this seems
to be working a double-hardship
on the architecture students.
When you consider the time it
takes to set up drawing equip­ment
in preparation for work,
plus the time it takes to gather
everything for the trek home,
there is a great amount of time
taken away from the actual job.
Along with that is the fact that
there is no other place on campus
with adequate facilities to,, ac­comodate
this type of study. I
know of no dormitory, fraternity
house or apartment building where
an achitecture student can work
on his thesis or problem with
By Walter Everidge
ease.
Perhaps the cost of electricity
used by the lights in Biggin Hall
was one of the excuses for clos­ing
the building. However, I'm
sure that all that needs to be done
as far as saving on that particular
cost is to ask for a little coopera­tion.
Keeping the building open a
little later at night wouldn't work
any extra hardship on the night
watchman. He has to check the
building every hour anyway, and
could lock it up at any specific
time. When you come right down
to the point there isn't much of a
reason why the building can't re­main
open a while longer on week
days and at least until 11 p.m. on
Saturdays.
Since this is a college, v'nere
isn't much reason why the build­ing
cannot be opened on Sundays.
More school work is accomplished
on Sundays than any other time
on the weekend.
Maybe we should ask for a re­consideration
on this policy. Give
the architecture students a break.
A Word With Sully
Movies Go Crazy With No-D
While moviegoers flipped their
lids over the three dimensional de­velopments
in movies and tele­vision,
my associate, Dr. Vacuum,
and I have quietly perfected no-D
movies. ***|
No-D is very restful. With ordi­nary
3-D projection, you walk in­to
a theater and lions run past
you, beautiful girls undulate under
your nose, spears zoom toward
your quivering
body, a n d a

Sullivan
immediate surroundings appear as
rather vague images on the silver
screen. Here is where you use
your imagination.
People are often disappointed in
movies. They go to a movie with
a title such as "Happy Days Are
Here Again" expecting to see a
musical comedy, and the film
turns out to be based upon the
psychological reactions of a child
genius toward his hermit father.
No-D movies look somewhat
like one's surroundings look on
Monday morning. You know —
sort of hazy and jumpy. Faced
with these undefined images, each
member of the audience can em­ploy
his imagination and create
the movie he wants. After all,
that's what people usually do in
real life.
The six-year-old-kids and the
college students can conjure forth

Plain White Wash
A Rare Administrator
In a Plainsman editorial on Au­gust
1, 1947, only a few days after
the death of the beloved API
President Luther Nobel Duncan,
there appeared a column which
has special bearing at this time.
In that issue
Ralph Jennings
and former edi­tor
Irene Long
had worked to­gether
on a list
of qualifications
for the educator
who was to be
Doctor Duncan's
s u c c e s s o r —
Auburn's new
leader.
Listed below
are the qualifications they gave:
"More important than any other
consideration, he should be an
educator with an attitude of pro-gressiveness.
He should be an in-
White
tellectual with an eloquent under­standing
of students and their
problems. He should be a capable
administrator with an ability to
recognize good teachers and should
have the leadership ability to
make them want to follow. He
should have a well-rounded out­look
which is a natural sequence.
This quality would naturally give
him the vision to see the proper
balance between the arts and
sciences and their relationship to
each other.
"He should be a business man
in order to economize—but not
at the expense of the students by
hiring inferior teachers. He should
understand the South and its re­lation
to the section, and fore­most,
Auburn and its possibilities
and potentialities. He should know
the three branches on Auburn's
seal .— instruction, research, and
extension, and should be able to
coordinate the three phases. In
By Herb White
short, he should be a man of very
strong character, courage, and ed­ucational
vision."
Since his appointment as acting
president in 1947, Dr. Ralph B.
Draughon has done a remarkable
job, and has exhibited all of the
qualifications that these students
of six years ago thought a good
president should have.
The modest and reserved presi­dent
of Auburn has demonstrated
on numerous occasions his strong
force of character and educational
vision. His untiring work towards
the unification of all branches of
the institution; his guidance in the
remarkable expansion of the
campus building program; his de­termination
to make Auburn non­partisan
in state politics, and his
continued efforts to obtain the
funds necessary for the existence
of Auburn gives the school an ad­ministrator
oi rare magnitude.

ed and went to the Y-Hut to see
a performance of "The Silver
Cord," a four-act drama directed
by Robert Knowles, that had
taken months of rehearsal to
ready for presentation. Here a
marvelous performance was given
before perhaps thirty-five people.
Again I felt humility for myself
and for all of you students whom
I am addressing.
Having seen these performan­ces,
I felt compelled to express
my feeling of deep pity for the
members of the casts, for I have
never seen such a gross waste of
extraordinary t a l e n t . Despite
overwhelming handicaps these
students nevertheless gave sterl­ing
performances of such magni­tude
in regard to emotion, that I
find it almost sacreligious to even
try to put this deep feeling into
words.
True, I do not qualify as a
critic, but I do think I qualify as
an Auburn student. I have talked
to a good many people who have
seen numerous summer stock
companies, and they have said
that these works presented in
Auburn surpassed anything they
had recently seen. Also; I am not
trying to flatter the players; even
I could find flaws in their work,
but I do feel that when they suc­ceed
in transmitting so much to
me, the small mistakes they make
can be overlooked.
Even with these few flaws,
though, the potentialities of some
of these young players cannot be
overlooked. And the fact that
such excellence is put forth in the
face of so many obstacles increas­es
my concern. Our student talent
is not only being wasted, but the
exceptional talent possessed by
many members of our faculty is
not being recognized by the Au­burn
students. To me, this alone
is one of the biggest wastes in
which the students indulge.
For apparent reasons, upon en­tering
the Music Hall or the Y-Hut,
one can't fail to be pessi­mistic
about the anticipated per­formance.
The buildings are mod­els
of antiquity; they do not even
approach in magnificence the
pretentions stadium on our cam­pus
in which one can expect to
get those pleasures such as ath­letic
events offer.
I have played sports In high
school and college and I attend
many athletic events. Yet, I have
also found much pleasure in at­tending
the plays presented on
the campus. Never having enjoy­ed
this privilege before, I find
that one gets pleasure from them
which last indefinitely.
It seems odd t h a t so mucli
money is allocated to some activi­ties
on the campus while equally
worthy or more worthy activities
are seemingly overlooked. The
young people in the school pro­ductions
must work on less than
a budget and facilities that are
bare necessities, but they do ac­complish
their goals. Perhaps the
most appalling obstacle they face
is the indifference of their fellow
students.
The least reward these people
should receive is that of perform­ing
before a large, appreciative
audience, but even this is denied
them. The same students who
gladly pay to see football games
will not even show up for a pro­duction
that is free to them and
has been produced for them. By
this omission they are missing
events that will be remembered
not for mere hours, but for life.
The few students who do go to
these plays apparently enjoy them
very much. But even in this at­mosphere
we encounter the "col­lege
clown." The persons do not
understand or are afraid to face
the deep emotions transmitted by
these productions, so when they
begin to feel a slight choked-up
feeling, he relieves it by breaking
forth with some obnoxious noise
or comment. This not only dis­turbs
the audience, but also
throws the young actors off bal­ance,
for they do not have the
experience it takes to cope with,
or ignore these unthinking per­sons.
Too, the townspeople of Auburn
make up most of the audience
despite the fact that they have

Dear Editor,
We would like to take advant­age
of this column to express our
appreciation to the merchants of
Auburn for their cooperation
with our project of delivering
coffee and rolls to the volunteer
workers who were clearing the
debris left from the recent storm.
We think it is indicative of the
good will of people at large and
particularly Auburn townspeople,
called realistic drama can have
their heroine go crazy during the
last reel, while the hero works
himself into a frenzy of remorse
leading to suicide.
Think of the advertising possi­bilities
with no-D. "See anyone
you desire in the picture of YOUR
choice at the Palace Theater to­night."
This kind of advertising would
even yank people away from the
snowy faces of their television
sets.
that every merchant who was
asked to contribute, did so with
alacrity. The contributions in­cluded
coffee, sugar, milk, paper
cups, wooden spoons, coffee rolls,
a five gallon milk can, and a truck
from which the coffee and rolls
were served.
We are sure that the hungry
workers who were served would
like to join us in thanking the
merchants, and in congratulating
them for their splendid spirit.
Sincerely,

Hutsell Loses Coach Vs. Pupil Battle
As Florida Wins SEC Track Meet
As was predicted, the 21st annual Southeastern Confer­ence
track meet turned out to be a situation of coach vs. pupil.
This time the cards happened to be more favorable for the
pupil, Percy Beard, than the coach, Wilbur Hutsell, as Florida
romped to an easy win—the first SEC crown in history for
the Gators.
The favored Floridians had little trouble taking the 1953
trophy. Auburn was supposed to be the only team to push
them, and the Tigers ended up a not-too-close second. The
Gators qualified 14 men for the finals besides the distance
men, while Auburn could qualify only eight. Florida took
first place in four events, and the Plainsmen copped only
three first places.
The big difference was in depth. Beard just had too many
second and third place scorers for Auburn to overcome. The
Tigers made a battle of it nevertheless, with Jackie Creel and
Don Johnson doing most of the scoring. Creel took two first
places for 10 points and Johnson took a first and second place
to score 9 points. Ewart Atkins scored four points in the two-mile
run and Duke Brown got two points in the 220 low
hurdles.
The weather was far from excellent for record breaking
performances. There was a stiff breeze blowing against the
hurdlers and dashmen, and the track was somewhat damp.
A fair sized crowd, dominated by Auburn fans, turned out for
the meet.
Florida's J. "Papa" Hall broke the only record of the day
and was awarded the T. Willie Hutchins Trophy as the out­standing
performer. The stocky high jumper set a new SEC
record in that event, clearing 6 feet, 7% inches. The old re­cord
was set last year by Elmo Branch of Mississippi State at
6 feet, 7 inches. Branch was back this year but couldn't better
his old mark.
Hall was awarded the Hutchins trophy over double win­ners
Jackie Creel and Tulane's George Cummins. His selec­tion
was based more on his record breaking performance than
his value as a point scorer. The little Floridian captured the
fancy of the crowd when he took time off from his high jump­ing
endeavors, trotted the length of the football field and
ran second in the 100-yard dash. He also did the same thing
in the 220 but didn't finish in the first five.
Elmo Branch was also running a double header in the high
jump and the pole vault. Branch would clear the high jump
bar, then go to the pole vault until he cleared that, and return
to his high jumping. He lost to Florida in both events. Earl
Poucher cleared 14 feet 1V2 inches on the pole vault, while
Branch could clear only 13 feet, 6 inches.
An old Auburnite, C. W. "Bill" Streit, Jr., was honored
at the meet last Saturday for his outstanding work for SEC
track. Streit, a former Tiger football and track star, has ref-ereed
all'the conference meets and, in the words of commis­sioner
Bernie Moore, "has probably done more to promote
track in the South and the Southeastern Conference than any
one other person." He was presented a silver trophy.
Lack Of Umpires Intramural Softball Problem
As intramural softball enters its last two weeks, a major
gripe on the part of many of the fraternity and independent
teams has been brought to attention.
It seems as though the intramural department is supposed
to furnish two balls and one umpire for each ball game. On
recent occasions, there have been neither, thereby hampering
the playing of the game considerably. When two teams de­cide
to play anyway, there usually arise some arguments,
which only one man with vested authority could settle. It
takes all the fun out of the game when the teams play under
these conditions.
The problem the intramural department faces in securing
umpires is understandable. There is not a goodly number of
men on the campus who will take time off from their studies
to call a ball game for a dollar, since they are not extremely
interested in intramural sports
Since the intramural budget is limited in proportion to its
size and importance it would be virtually impossible to raise
the salary of the umpires (supposedly). Why not have each
fraternity furnish a man to call a game (with pay) on that
particular team's off day? Or have a fraternity man to call
independent games and vice versa? Or encourage physical
education majors to do the job?

Creel, Johnson Lead Cindermen
By Winning Three First Places
By Ronald Owen
Led by ace dash men Don Johnson and Jackie Creel, Au­burn's
track men nosed out Tulane and Tennessee to finish
second behind the winning Florida Gators in last Saturday's
SEC track meet.
Florida, the pre-meet favorite, won easily with 47.29 points.
The Tigers finished with 27 points,
while Tennessee and Tulane tied
for third place with 25 points
each. Mississippi State surpris­ed
everyone by finishing fifth and
usually strong LSU could manage
only a sixth place showing.
Despite bad luck in the high
hurdles and the mile relay, Coach
Wilbur Hutsell's harriers garnered
enough first places to run their
point total up to the second place
slot. Creel was outstanding in the
mee.t,..being one of two track men
to capture first place in two events.
Creel nosed out Florida's J.
"Papa" Hall in the 100-yard dash
in 10.1, against a strong wind and
on a wet track, but finished way
ahead in the 220.
JOHNSON PROVED his worth
by winning the 440 and finishing
a step behind Creel in the 220, to
give Auburn first and second
place in that event. The "Bessemer
Flash" took the quarter-mile run
handily. After running with the
pack, three quarters of the way,
the Tiger dashman kicked beauti­fully
about 50 yards from the
finish to win by 10 yards.
On the high hurdles, Bill Fick-ling,
defending SEC champ, got
off to a bad start on the first
hurdle and never could quite get
back in step. The lanky Tiger
hurdler knocked over the first and
seventh hurdles but was still run­ning
third until the tenth hurdle,
where he tripped, fell and finished
out of the money.
AUBURN FELL victim of more
bad luck in the mile relay. With
Ed Newby, Bruce Welch, Don'
Johnson and Jackie Creel carry­ing
the baton, the Tigers were
favored to place in the event at
least. But about half-way around
the track on the first 440, Newby
was pushed and he and Vander-bilt's
runner crashed to the cind­ers
and couldn't recover in time
to stay in the race. LSU went on
to win.
Ewart Atkins ran a good two-mile
race to finish second in a
large field, netting the Tigers four
points. George
best in the shot put, Robert Jones
was in a seven-way tie for fourth
place in the high jump, Duke
Brown finished fourth in the low
hurdles, and Mickey Brown and
James Spann tied for fifth place in
the pole vault.
Intramural Softball Teams Swing
Back Into Action As Rain Subsides
By Larry Conner
Now that the rain has finally found business elsewhere,
the intramural softball teams are out and kicking again.

To Our Customers:
We regret that due to the unprecedented demand, not
only upon us but all over the country, we are unable to supply
our customers with fine quality Jantzen swim trunks. More
than a month ago we were informed by the Jantzen factory
that the demand for their swim trunks this season is so terrific
that it would be impossible for them to ship us any additional
trunks before June 20th. In keeping with our policy of sup­plying
only the best for your athletic and outdoor needs we
have hesitated in adding another line of swim clothes. How­ever,
at present we have received an o r d e r of Jpoxer
type men's swim trunks in poplin material at $2.95. We also
have a few sizes left in the Jantzen line. In our other swim­ming
and water sport equipment we do have a complete line
as shown below.
SKIPPER WATER SKIS $39.50

Rubber Powered Type .. $19.95
SWIM FINS, Senior Size $5.95
Junior Size 4.45
SWIM MASKS, Senior Size : $2.25

Despite the increase in the price of tennis balls, our price
on Dunlop balls for a can of 3 is still $1.95 as long as our

' Imposter Housed By Local Frets'
Until Foiled By Interest In His Tales
"Reggie" came to Auburn last week. He visited several
Gf the fraternities on campus and made numerous friends;
that is until the fraternities started checking into the interest­ing
stories which he related.
Decked out in a second lieutenant's uniform of the Air
Force, he became a familiar fig
ure on the drill field. According
to his information he was a jet
pilot at Craig Air Force Base,
Selma.
HIS FATHER was an Earl, and
with his mother had already de­parted
for the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth t h i s summer.
They were the possessor's of a
500-year-old castle in the "mother
country." He was a graduate from
Cornell University at one frater­nity
house and a graduate of an
institution in Virginia at another
chapter house.
He was filled with stories of
fraternities throughout the Unit­ed
States. Naturally, his was a
glib tongue, for he possessed the
ability to talk on just about any
subject. In his own way, he was
fascinating to hear. His personal­ity
was pleasing. In fact, it was so
pleasing that he talked a group
of rushees at one fraternity house
into pledging.
But then the investigations be­gan.
"Reggie" became confused
on the name of the chapter of a
greek organization at one of the
institutions he professed to have
attended. After checking on him,
the fraternity politely asked him

to leave.
MONEY AND clothing were
missed around the houses which
he had visited. His name was
turned into the student affairs of­fice
and "Reggie" disappeared. Af­ter
checking with Craig Field the
student affairs office h a d the
lowdown on him.
The saga of Reggie Stevens was
fast coming to a close. Craig Field
officials wanted him for being
absent without leave, imperson­ating
an officer and stealing gov­ernment
property. In addition,
Auburn frats swore out a warrant
against him for grand larceny. His
name was passed along to other
schools in the Southeast, along
with identification and a warning
to be on the lookout for him.
"Reggie's" escapades came to a
close Friday when he was appre­hended
by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. But on the Plains,
the stories which he related are
still being discussed. And in the
days to come "Reggie" will be
remembered.

Marine Corps Expected
To Train 5,000 Men
For OCS This Year
The marine corps summer of­ficer
candidate training programs
will train an expected 5,000 col­lege
men in 1953, according to
figures compiled by headquarters,
Marine Corps, Washington, D. C,
Col. George B. Bell, USMC,
professor of naval science at API,
announced today.
"THESE FUTURE marine corps
officers will come from approxi­mately
500 colleges and universi­ties
in the United States. About
1,000 June 1953 college graduates
presently enrolled in the of­ficers
candidate c o u r s e , the
platoon leaders class program,
and the women officers train­ing
class are to be commis­sioned
during the fall of 1953,
following their summer training,"
declared Colonel Bell. "College
oWaeY^tapuates will return to their
schools."
The marine corps has completed
plans to concentrate all officer
candidate training at Quahtico,
Va., this year. Previously, certain
phases of summer training were
given at San Diego, Calif., and
Parris Island, S. C, for those col­lege
students who were members
of the platoon-leaders class pro­gram.
QUANTICO, WHICH, is.35 miles
south of Washington, is a reser­vation
of 57,000 acres, and has
been developed - into one of . the
most complete and extensive mili­tary
training areas in the country.
All marine officers receive their
basic indoctrination there,- and
study such important subjects as
military theory and tactics, use
of weapons, and the leadership of
troops.
College men, married or single,
who are seniors or graduates may
now apply for the October 1953
officer candidate course. College
women may apply for the June
women officers training class. In­formation
and applications for
these classes may be obtained
from the NROTC office, Broun
Hall, Room 103.
The Interfraternity Council has
appointed Herb White, Enterprise,
to edit The Greeks and Tommy
Fuller, Childersburg, to serve as

year, according to Claude
Casey, IFC president.
Fuller, a junior in agriculture, is
I president of Alpha Zeta, agricul­ture

phases of API's 22 fraternities.
The duties of the scholarship
chairman are to promote scholar­ship
among the fraternities, and
to assist in compiling averages for

Dear Editor:
Now that the Glomerata has
come off the presses, the ink
dried, and distribution is in pro­gress,
I would like to publicly
thank some of the people that
assisted in producing for the stu­dents
their fifty-sixth yearbook.
First, I would express my deep­est
appreciation to an energetic
and faithful staff. A staff that
worked long hours, often through
the night, preparing copy, mak­ing
drawings, mounting pictures,
solving the puzzle of coordinating
over eight-thousand photographs
with copy exceeding one-million
words, and performing the many
other tasks involved in publish­ing
an annual.
My heartfelt thanks is also
given to the Publications Board
for their consideration and guid­ance;
the libraries for their un­ceasing
aid in securing the old
woodcuts of the campus that you
see throughout the book; Miss
Elsie Loizeaux of the fashion de­partment,
and Al James, photo­grapher,
for their assistance in
handling the Beauties section;
Bill Beckwith, API sports publi­city
director, for his help in as­sembling
a factual record of an­other
sports year; my instructors,
especially Mr. Maltby Sykes, for
giving me timely advice and as­sistance
in solving my many edit­orial
problems; the presidents and
heads of all the campus organi­zations
for their close coopera­tion
in assembling the organi­zations,
and fraternities and sor­orities
sections of the book, and
The Plainsman for providing a
constant medium of contact with
the student body.
The Glomerata owes to these,
and many more, whose names
would be too numerous to begin
listing here, an expression of
gratitude for its existence. With­out
them,. the 1953 Glomerata
would not be.
Sincerely yours,
Ed Martin
Editor, 1953 Glomerata
API Students Give Diverse Opinions
On Giving 18-Year-0lds Voting Rights
Nine API students were polled recently on the question
"What do you think the age requirement should be for voting,
and why do you believe as you do?" Three of them thought
that the age should be lowered, two said that 21 should remain
as the standard, one favored a hike in the age level, and three
felt unqualified to state

BOB GADDIS, a senior in busi­ness
administration from Pratt-ville,
said, "I believe that if a
man is mature enough to fight
for his country, he's mature
enough to have a voice in its
government."
BEN LESTER, a science and
literature junior from Atlee, W.
Va., saw the question in a dif­ferent
light. "I don't believe," he
said, "that the average 18-year-old
is seriously interested in poli­tics
and therefore is not compe­tent
enough to have a voice in
government. That may not be true
in the case of college students, but
the majority of citizens between
18 and 21 are not in college."
SID HA4-L, a junior in business I never see forty again, and they

Texas, had this to say: "Eighteen-year-
olds have been voting in
Georgia since 1943 and they seem
to be doing all right. I th.'nk that
the government needs the fresh
outlook of young people."
PAUL WEEKS, Sinclair,' S. C,
a sophomore in mechanical engi­neering,
took an unusual view­point.
"I'd like to be able to vote
myself, but I believe that too
many voters don't know what they
are doing even at 21. If anything,
the minimum age should be
raised." • •

older you get, the more interest
you develop in political affairs.
That's probably true, but I know
