Four Loco/ Fraternities
Disrupt Greek Week
Open House Activities
By War Eagle
Greek Week has come and
gone, and its departure was
attended by one of the most
disgusting and disappointing
displays of non-cooperation
seen on the Plains in quite a
spell.
Plans for the week, publicized
liberally and well in advance of
the observance, called for an
open house at all fraternity
houses Friday night.
In most of the houses, all went
according to plan, but four of the
local brotherhoods—Phi Delta
Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
Lambda Chi Alpha, and Sigma
Chi—decided that they couldn't
go along with the rest of the
fraternities.
The first three of the quartet
mentioned had nice little private
parties going. There was an
"Undertakers' Party" at the SAE
lodge, the Lambda Chi's had
"Club LXA" going full blast, and
the Phi Delts added discomfort
to insult by greeting open house
guests with a barrage from the
squirt guns which were evidently
required equipment f o r their
"Cowboy Party."
Sigma Chi, however, takes the
gold-plated mustache cup for the
week's outstanding social mis­carriage.
Persons venturing down
to their house to participate in
the open house were greeted at
the door by a sign. The warm
message of hospitality displayed
there was a real shot in the arm
for Greek Week. The sign stated
simply that there was a formal
initiation in progress, and that
those within did not wish to be
disturbed.
I wouldn't care to dispute the
fact that any fraternity has the
right to schedule its parties and
initiations in its own house at
any time it sees fit. The fact re­mains,
however, that these four
groups failed to meet their re­sponsibility
to the Greek Week
committee and to the other local
fraternities.
The presidents of all fraterni­ties
had at their disposal several
copies of the Greek Week pro­gram,
plus a letter from the gen­eral
chairman which listed the
events. That means these groups
had to hustle if they forgot open
house. It seems a great deal more
likely that they deliberately
made other plans.
Greek Week was neither ruin­ed
nor seriously hampered by the
fact that these four groups failed
to come through. Other events
went off as scheduled and many
positive results were obtained.
I guess about the only damage
done was to offenders' reputa­tion
for hospitality, and to the
feelings of members of the gen­eral
committee, who logged a lot
of hours in preparation for Greek
Week.
The behavior of these four
fraternities was distasteful, and
fortunately unusual. On a cam­pus
where cooperation and good,
feeling are standard procedure, it
does, however, reek.
Annual 'A-Day' Gridiron Battle
Will Close Spring Workouts
Deans Expected To Approve Changes
In Grading System This Morning
By Tom Duke
A special session of the API Council of Deans this morn­ing
was expected to bring to a close more than two years of
work on a new grading system, according to Dr. M. C. Hunt­ley,
council chairman.
The new plan is nearing completion, and is based on
changes in three major areas. Re
DRIVES CHAIRMAN Chick Watson is shown presenting a blood donor's pin to Ann Floyd,
Opelika, who pushed the campus blood drive to its goal by contributing the 1,000th pint. The drive,
held here Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 24-25, solicited a total of 1,251 pints. The number set a new
Auburn and a new Southeastern Conference collegiate record for a two-day drive.

quirements for graduation and
requirements for continuance in
residence will be changed and a
new plan for graduation honors
will be honored.
MOST CONSPICIOUS of the
changes will be the inauguration
of an "honor point" plan. Under
this plan, three honor points will
be awarded for each credit hour
in which a student makes an "A."
"B's" will be worth two honor
points in each hour, "C's" will get
one, and "D's" will be passing in
By Walter Everidge
Auburn's 1953 campus blood drive came to an end Wed­nesday,
Feb. 25, establishing a new Southeastern area record
for colleges by contributing 1,251 pints. Under the direction
of Chick Watson, superintendent of campus drives, the drive
went 251 pints over its goal of 1,000.
Red Cross Southeastern public
relations head, Earl Loggan, said
the 718 pints contributed during
the last day of the drive broke a
Southeastern area record for
pints donated, in one day which
was also set by Auburn the day
before with 533 pints.
RAIN FAILED to dampen the
drive as students poured into the
student activities building and
gave local workers and Red Cross
representatives little time for
rest.
According to information re­leased
by the Red Cross, the
blood collection will first be pro­cessed
for gamma globulin which
is distributed through state health
departments for use in combat­ing
the paralytic effects of polio­myelitis.
The blood will then be
sent to Korea as well as local
areas.
Watson stated that of the
number of Korean War veterans
who "kicked off the blood drive"
last Tuesday, the vast majority
were turned down due to having
received malaria treatments in
Korea within the last year.
MORE THAN pleased with the
outcome of the drive, Watson
said, "The success of the blood
drive was due to the concentrated
efforts of college officials and
volunteer workers who helped
with the drive.
"Our sincere thanks go to the
staff of Magnolia Dining Hall and
the campus dietitians for pre­paring
special diets and serving
late meals for blood donors. We
also appreciate the cooperation
given to us by the Auburn
Knights. They were instrumental
in not only giving donors trans­portation
from the ac building
with their bus, but also served as
a constant reminder to the cam­pus
that the drive was in pro­gress,"
said Watson.
HE ADDED his thanks to
members of the Alpha Lambda
Delta scholastic honorary, the Air
Force and Army ROTC units, and
each fraternity and sorority.
This year's donations exceeded
last year's drive by 418 pints.
NOTICE
P. M. Norton, coordinator of
veterans affairs, urges all Korean
veterans to go by the student
affairs office to sign the pay­roll
March 1 through March 5.
Failure to sign will result in no
check for last month.

In Social Center on Monday,
March 9, according to Ollie Mae
Holbrook, W.S.G.A. president.
Candidates will be introduced
at Convocation on Wednesday,
March 11. Election of officers
will be held on Friday, March 27.
Langford, Cole
Take First Place
In Debate Tourney
Denny Ray, chairman of the
recent intramural debate tourna­ment,
announced last week that
Jack Cole and Jack Langford,
representing Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
had taken top honors in the con­test.
Langford and Cole defeated
Luther Albert and Bill Ballard.In-dependents,
in the final round last
Wednesday to win the first place
cup and the two gold keys. As
runncrs-up, having defeated Jess
Phillips and Charlie Bottcher of
Pi Kappa Alpha on the previous
day, Albert and Ballard received
a smaller cup and two silver keys.
"In Wednesday's round, the SAE
team assumed the affirmative posi­tion
on the question, 'Resolved,
That the United Nations should
initiate an immediate withdrawal
of their troops from Korea'." Ray
stated. "Each of the teams had
taken both the affirmative and
the negative in alternate rounds."
There were six teams in the
first elimination, which took place
two weeks ago. Members of the
speech department faculty served
as judges.
Tomorrow's Election
To Decide Finalists
For 'Miss A-Day'
Thirty-three coeds will vie for
positions as finalists of the "Miss
A-Day" contest, in a campus-wide
election tomorrow, according to an
.announcement by Jim Lofton,
president of the A-Club.
In making the announcement,
Lofton stated that each voter would
be given the opportunity to vote
for five of the 33, and that the five
candidates receiving the most
votes would act as the finalists.
From the five finalists the A-Club
wil select one to be crowned
as "Miss A-Day" at the halftime
ceremonies of the "A Day" foot­ball
game Saturday, March 7.
THE CANDIDATES and their
sponsoring organizations are Har-,
the course but will be worthless
so far as honor points are con­cerned.
In order to graduate, a student
will have to accumulate honor
points equal to the number in his
curriculum.
THE MAJOR change in resi­dence
requirements will be the
elimination of the status now
known as probation. Present
plans call the determination of
scholastic standing at the end of
the spring quarter only.
Any student who passes five
hours in each quarter will be
permitted to remain, in school
until the spring quarter reckon­ing.
At that time, scholastic stand­ing
will be determined on the
basis of percentage of work pass­ed.
Minimum requirements will
range from 50 per cent for fresh­men
through 80 per cent for
seniors.
STUDENTS FOUND deficient
will have an opportunity to do
make-up work during the sum­mer,
but will not be permitted to
do so at any other time.
Three levels of graduation
honors will probably be estab­lished
for students who complete
degree requirements with the
minimum honor point quotients
of 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8.
A COMPLETE announcement
concerning the new system and
including provisions for students
already in school and transfer
students is expected in the near
future.
Intra-Squad Game Set For Saturday;
New Rules To Alter Game Slightly
By Ronald Owen
Auburn football fans will get their first look at the new
way of playing football, under game conditions, when the
Blue meets the Orange in Auburn's annual "A-Day" game
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Cliff Hare Stadium.
Since the rule was passed in January, doing away with
the free-substitution, two-platoon
system of football, gridiron en­thusiasts
have been waiting for
the spring preview to formulate
an opinion on the change. Satur­day's
game will provide an excel­lent
opportunity for spectators to
UMOC Title Won
By Bill Meadows
After all the votes had been
tallied last Friday, Bill Meadows,
Birmingham, emerged as Auburn's
"Ugliest Man on Campus." Gail
Gregory, Abbeville, president of
Chi Omega, Meadows' sponsor,
accepted both the sponsor's trophy
and the winner's trophy during
the half at the Auburn-Alabama
basketball game Saturday night.
Meadows, who did not anticipate
his victory, arrived too late for the
presentation.
BILL PARKS, president, and
Marvin Barron, vice-president of
Alpha Phi Omega, presented the
awards, a large cup and a key for
the candidate, and a smaller cup
for the sponsor. Both of the offi­cers
stated that they were very
pleased over the success of the
contest, which netted $500.44 for
the Lee County Chapter Polio
Fund. One cent was collected for
each vote cast.
"Chi Omega solicited $159.36 in
Meadows' behalf," said Si Wil­liams,
chairman of the contest.

For Student Body Office-Seekers
By Herbert White

of intention before March 13, according to Jack
Appleton, superintendent of political affairs.
Candidates are scheduled to meet with the Studenf Body
Board of Election Qualifications in the Student Government
see how 60-minute men will af­fect
the game.
"WEATHER HAS been a serious
handicap this spring," Coach Ralph
"Shug" Jordan said this wek, "but
we have had enough practice to
pick out a pretty good first team.
In the game Saturday we will
send our first and fourth teams
against the second and third elev­ens.
From all indications the game
Vv'ill be very close, the Blues hav­ing
the best starting eleven, but
the Orange squad having more and
better reserves."
Except for fullback Bob Scar-brough,
both squads should be at
full strength. Scarbrough suffered
a broken leg in last week's skir­mishes
and will be out for the
rest of the spring practice session.
Quarterback Bob Freeman and
end Vince Nardone have recovered
from minor injuries and will be
ready to go for the Blue team. The
Orange team's Jack Locklear, cen­ter
and linebacker, has recovered
from his broken leg injury and
will take part in Saturday's foot­ball
digladiations.
THE PROCEEDS from the game
will g6 to the Auburn Band. "The
band has done much towards keep­ing
the Auburn Spirit intact with
their hard work and wonderful
performances at the football
games," Jim Lofton, A-Club pres­ident
stated. "We feel this is a
good chance to reward them and
show our appreciation for all they
have done."
Half-time activities will include
the crowning of "Miss A-Day" and
the presentation of a trophy to
the outstanding basketball player
of the 1952-53 team.

North Carolina Dean Praises Auburn
In Greek Week Banquet Address
By Howard Skelton
"Plato once said that the most important part of an edu­cation
is the atmosphere where it takes place, and you have
a wholesome atmosphere here at Auburn," Fred H. Weaver
said Tuesday night at the Greek Week banquet.
The University of North Carolina dean of students praised
Auburn highly in his speech be- /
HE WENT ON to say that the
leaders at the banquet were re­ceiving
training in fulfilling their
jobs for larger and more important
factors later in life. He stated
that this self-fulfillment could not
be .acquired any other way.
Dean Weaver urged the presi­dents
of the fraternities and sorori­ties
to go beyond their routine and
habitual practices and to stand for
their ideals whether popular or not.

Auburnites Respond Little Man On Campus by Biblcr
Auburn's record shattering donation of
1,251 pints of blood in last week's two-day
drive is an achievement which should
make the entire institution glow with
pride.
The preoccupation with "social" affairs
and the pure cussedness which seem to in­habit
many other campuses make API's
response to the combined Student Govern­ment-
Red Cross appeal even more impres­sive.
"Chick" Watson, who handled the drive
for Student Government, certainly de­serves
a commendation for the perspira­tion
and inspiration which he poured into
the campaign. Cooperation and labor
were both forthcoming in huge quantities
from a multitude of other individuals and
groups, and it was the work of these vol­unteers
which was largely responsible for
the success of the drive.
Among the outstanding contributions
were the work of Alpha Lambda Delta,
women's honorary, and the bus loaned by
the Auburn Knights for transportation of
donors. Aided by volunteers from the sor­orities,
these groups contributed immea­surably
to the efficency of the blood col­lections.
Although the trip was in vain for most
of them, local veterans of the Korean cam-in
force. Red Cross regulations forbade
their giving blood because of recent ser-.
vice in the Pacific area, but their action
is none the less commendable Because of
that fact.
Watson, serving as general chairman,
did an excellent job of coordinating the
forces at his disposal into effective chan­nels.
It was gratifying to see the drive work­ers
doing their work with such efficiency
and dispatch, but the attitude which pre­vailed
among students generally was even
more satisfying.
With most students, interest didn't end
with the simple act of donation. Many
served as unofficial, solicitors of donors,
and interest in the drive's success or fail­ure
continued at high pitch until the
moment when results were announced. •
Taken as a whole, the drive was the
kind of event which makes Auburn an
outstanding place to live and study. Al­most
20 per cent of the student body act­ually
made donations, and hundreds more
were turned away by physical require­ments.
The Plainsman offers congratula­tions
to every one who served the drive in
any capacity, from donor to chairman. .
And to those congratulations, we feel
safe in adding the heartfelt thanks of the

A Unique Remembrance
Saturday night, the editor of this news­paper
was the recipient of a very unusual
gift. Left upon the doorstep of The Plains­man
office was a large cardboard carton
bearing the legend "Editor, The Plains­man."
The contents of the box included one
empty beer can, several flowers, and the
skinless, disemboweled carcass of a cat.
The missing parts of the animal had been
removed with a professional proficiency,
suggesting that the unfortunate feline had
been a recent guest in one of the labora­tories
on Vet Hill.
It is unnecessary to add that the donors
of the gift have remained anonymous.
..The arrival of the cat provided con­siderable
diversion for staffers during the
ling, to say the very least.
If, on the other hand, the prank was
inspired by some injustice, real or irriagih:
ed, which this publication has committed
against some individual or group, we're
rather dissatisfied with the form which
the protest took.
Having been around the newspaper
business long enough to discover that there
is always someone who is dissatisfied with
your work, we're not too shaken by the
possibility of a beef. We do feel, however,
that nothing was accomplished when the
corpse was left.

traffic problem
present here. .
W i t h those
students who
possess cars, the
c o n g e s t i o n
problem arises
daily, and has
a direct bearing
on their time
schedules. The
p r o b l e m has
been eased by the fact that many
drivers have completely given up
hope of driving to class and leave
their modes of transportation be­hind
as they start to class.
There should, however, be a
solution that would more com­pletely
relieve the situation, and
undoubtedly needed reforms will
be installed in the years to come.
But, programs initiated in the fu­ture,
however distant, do not solve
the problems of today.
During the fall quarter of this
year, Claude Casey, chairman of
the Welfare Committee, submitted
a possible solution to the Senate.
The plan included a system of one­way
streets, which admittedly is
rot perfect and is subject to altera­tions
before it can be practical.
The "one-way streets" plan has
evidently gotten little encourage­ment
from the Senate, for it was
referred to the city officials for
further considerations, and little
has been done to utilize, develop
or impress it. From the attitude
which the Senate has taken, it
seems that there will be some time
before the program will be brought
up again, if ever.
The loop holes in the recom­mendations
which were presented
by Casey can and must be plug­ged.
The system was originally
devised to provide relief from
traffic congestion at a minimum
of cost, since its only expense lies
in the direction signs which .would
be necessary.
The problem of inadequate
funds seem to be the chief draw­back
to improving an elaborate
relief program. New parking spaces
have been provided for, along
with other measures, in the college
master plan. If the Building and
Grounds could carry out the pro­visions
they would most assuredly
eliminate the difficulties.
Unfortunately, the program out­lined
on the master plan, relies
upon funds made available through
appropriations. According to the
state newspapers Auburn is very
unlikely to be able to obtain nec­essary
funds, even though the
needs have been outlined to the
state legislators. And if funds are
not available, it could possibly be
years before traffic and parking
improvements could be made.
Auburn is, however, faced with
a traffic and parking problem to­day,
and it will continue until
steps are taken to alleviate it. And,
whether the "one-way streets"
plan is feasible on a temporary
basis or not, those in positions of
authority should take steps to at
least soothe this "growing pain."

Education Battle Involves Students
By Walter Everidge
Education is getting its share of
publicity these days—some good,,
some bad. Articles are appearing
every day attacking college defer­ments,
segregation, and academic
freedom. It appeals that the bad
is overshadow­ing
the good.
E d u c a t i o n is
being placed in
the direct path
of a verbal on­slaught
which
will be upset­ting
to say the
least.
Even though
all of the pub­licity
is not det-r
i m e n t a l , it
seems to me that the so called
good news reflects a general atti­tude
of comfort and, in some cases,
sympathy. The question of alloca­tions
for educational needs has
been back-ordered in newspapers
in favor of more collosal and stu­pendous
news.
Occasionally, you see an article
which pats the school of knowledge
on the back, but I can't help but
feel that these so called demon­strations
merely imply "You're
doing a fine job, Ed. Keep up the
good work." Seldom is comfort
derived from the knowledge that
people who have the power to aid
education do so. Never do you
see a" headline stating "State gives
education green light through large
allocations.
It appears that the words,
"money for educational alloca­tions,"
are state family skeletons
which remain in closets until some
good college administrator at­tempts
to apply pressure and gain
public favor, thus forcing the issue
into the open.
How much longer will educa­tion
remain in the backwoods?

that he had checked and found
the real author of the letter was
not Agnes Meyer, but a Mrs. Mayer
of Canada.. Velde called it an
"honest" mistake. So much for
the facts as reported by Time. •
How does all of this effect Au­burn?
It could effect the 1,155 stu­dents
now enroled in the School of
Education very much. In Mrs.
Meyer's words, "This is the sort of

Hollywood, filmdom's land of

There hasn't been so much excite­ment

appeared around 1927.
The so-called three-dimensional
films, which are supposed to put
the scene in the audience or vice-vei-
sa, have thrilled millions of
moviegoers. Consequently the
public is clamoring for more and
better 3-D movies. Having con­sulted
numerous magazines and
,several reput­able
movie trade
j o u r n a l s , we
would like to
pass on a few
of the latest de­velopments
in
the 3-D field.
Three-dimen­sional
films have
b e e n experi­mented
with for
years, but new
technical de­velopments
and the loss of movie
patrons to TV have caused the
movie industry to enter the 3-D
competition in a big way. Many
methods are being used to shoot
Sullivan
the 3-D films.
One of the most publicized sys­tems
is Natural Vision, the process
employed by Arch Oboer to film
his "Bwana Devil" Requiring
conversions in theater equipment
costing at least $800, "Bwana
Devil" has recently run in Atlanta
and may soon be exhibited in Ala­bama.
Another pioneer in the 3-D
field is Cinemera, Inc., which pro­duced
a group of short 3-D films
and exhibited them in a single
showing.
Scientifically complicated, the
various 3-D processes are difficult
to explain in a short article. Basic­ally
the moviemen are striving to
reproduce an image on the screen
just as the human eye would see
the image in everyday life. A per­fect
3-D process would put the
viewer right in the scene with the
actors.
By employing several cameras
taking the same scene from differ­ent
angles, ,and by using special
camera lenses, the technicians can
come close to a true reproduction.
As of now, theatre audiences have
to wear polarized glasses, but it
ij; expected that new developments
will render them unnecessary.
Screens will have to be curved or
enlarged if the plans of some

companies, such as Twentieth Cen­tury
Fox, are carried out.
E. D. Martin, theatre chain own­er,
controlling many theatres in
this area, says, "Three-dimension
films will be a shot in the arm
for the movie industry. However,
the task of converting theatres to
3-D will be gradual."
Ivan Black, who helped film
"Bwana Devil," has these com­ments.
"Motion pictures are going
back to nature. Actresses who i
dieted themselves to ghoulish pro­portions
because the flat screen
adds 12 pounds can now eat them­selves
into healthy, curvacious
figures. Men will need muscles
and broad shoulders or they will
photograph like hospital cases."
Each major studio is either.
making 3-D films or preparing to
produce them. Some of these new [
features will be shot "flat" and in
3-D. Several years or more will
probably pass before 3-D films \
reach all theatres, but most of us j
should have an opportunity to see !
them within the next few months. •
Here is a sample ad line for
"Bwana Devil." "Enjoy the thrill
—a lion in your lap, a lover in ,'
your arms." I guess you pay your :
money and take your choice.

Rpssia Today: "tye feel profound
admiration for the people of the
Soviet Union. It simply makes
you sick at heart when you hear
many radio qommentators speak­ing
so unjustly and disdairifiilly
of the Russians."
Of bourse, Mrs. Meyer denied

grew hotter. At this point, a news­paper
entered the picture. The

Post, called Vejde to ,get him to

Almost every day I hear someone
say, "If only I were a sophomore
again, those were the days." Well,
here are just a few of the things
you would have to contend with
if you were a sophomore again.
Professors can sit crosslegged on
the top of a desk; dean's list stu­dents
can let down their guards;
student leaders can fraternize with
the masses.
Only a sophomore is required to
be at his best at all times.
Only a sophomore is supposed
to know everything that happens,
so it is taken for granted that he
already knows it, and nobody ever
tells him anything; only a sopho­more
is supposed to keep his opin­ion
to himself, and at the same
time make no decisions of any
importance; only a lowly soph is
required to keep his nose out of
politics, he has to be content to
watch from the sidelines.
Profs have their apple-polishers
who ask questions after class;
dean's list students get their quar­terly
reports; student body presi­dents
hear complaints in student
meetings, and always know what's
going on.
Only a sophomore has to guess.
Only a sophomore has to grope
blindly along, trying to do the
best he can; ever striving to keep
humanity off his back; only smiling
when no one ever thanks him for
something well done. Only a soph
has to track people down, corner
them, and beat them insensible
before they will give him a kind
look.
Profs have the satisfaction of
seeing their teachings put into
practice; dean's list students are
an inspiration to their successors;
student body presidents can point
with pride at year's end to long
rows of achievements.
Only a poor soph never accom- j
plishes anything.
Profs get to sit on the stage;
dean's list students have certain
privileges: student body presidents
get to introduce visitors.
Only a sophomore is fool enough '
not to want to trade places with 1
any of them.
And, when all's said and done, j
only a sophomore has the satis- j
faction of knowing that he is just i
a notch lower than the high and ,
mighty freshmen; and also the J
satisfaction of knowing that, if he j
knew how to use it, people would j
say he had good sense.
Last, and probably least, of being i
sure that no matter how much he •
is overworked, denied of any re­ward,
that the pure love of slavery •
will keep him going.
Only a sophomore would gripe
about it.

'Plainsman' Readers Talk Back
Dear Editor,
This week the Drives Committee
of the Student Government has
brought down the curtain on our
annual blood donation drive. Cer­tainly
the results of this drive again
bring, to the. eyes of everyone, the
wonderful spirit and unity of the
Auburn student body.
I would like to commend the
Auburn student body for the un­believable
turn-out given to the
two-day drive on February 24-25.
Even with the rain pouring down
there was a continuous line at the
student activities building at all
times during the scheduled hours
of the drive.
I want to personally give my
deepest appreciation for the won­derful
cooperation I received in
carrying out the preliminaries of
this drive. First I would like to
thank my committee for a job weli
done. Certainly such a job as
calling 300 people is no enjoyable
one, and this was only one of the
jobs taken care of by the com­mittee.
I think this is the proper place
for an explanation to the Korean
War veterans. In asking the vets
to come down and start our drive,
we were not familiar with the fact
that no veteran of the Pacific area
could give blood for a period of two
years after re-entering the United

States. Naturally the majority of
the vets that volunteered to give
blood were turned down in the
physical before giving blood. I feel
that even though they could not
give their own blood, they en­couraged
many others to give,
who otherwise would not have
done so.
Certainly the drive would not
have reached it's goal without the
assistance from the dietitians on
the campus who planned a special
donors menu. The staff of Mag­nolia
Hall and also the Student
Government of the dormitory re­cruited
roughly one-fourth of the
donors, and even on the day of the
drive, their public address system
was at work recruiting donors.
I have heard many comments
about the attractive girls working
for the drive, and I feel that, if
they had just been there, they
would have added to the drive.
They worked all day, some of them
never stopping for lunch. Inci-dently,
these girls were members
of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor­ary,
along with volunteers from
each sorority.
This year, instead of the indi­vidual
schedules, we had frater­nities,
sororities, and divisions of
Magnola Hall to go at a specific
time in a unit. I would like to
thank each organization for keep­ing
with the schedules and espe­cially
to the Pi Kappa Alpha fra­ternity
for going at the noon hour
on Tuesday, and Magnolia Hall
residents for keeping a steady line
Wednesday.
The Council of Deans was very
lenient with excuses for both
donors and volunteers, and the col­lege
staff, including Building and
Grounds, were cooperative in every
way possible. The military de­partments
sent out memos to their
instructors and they took up time
from their classes to advertise for
the drive.
I'm sure many of you saw the
A u b u r n Knights bus driving
around the campus every hour
during the drive, and many of
you got a ride to the ac building
in the "Old Bandwagon." Not only
did "The Knights" contribute the
bus but also the drivers.
Last, but not least, I would like
to thank The Plainsman for their
thorough publicity of the drive.

THESE STUDENTS seem to be getting a "charge" out of making their blood donation during last
week's drive. Possibly it was the attention of the nurses that afforded the entertainment, but we bet
that they are just expressing the general attitude with which Auburn students supported the drive.
Anyway, they are Raymond Landrum, Quinton; Dillion Reid, Oneonta, and Russell Boen, Hayden.

There is an untold amount of
suffering about us. There is noth­ing
more heartbreaking than to
see a child struggling along some
sidewalk bound by leg braces, yet
smiling because it feels wonderful
to walk even though it be with
effort. There is nothing more futile
than to watch some loved one
caught in the throes of cancer,
tuberculosis, or heart disease.
On our campus there is a recog­nition
of these conditions. Various
sororities and organizations con­tribute
handsomely to those agen­cies
which have as their prime
purpose the alleviation of suffer­ing.
Medical science has gone a
long way towards solving some of
the causes but is dependent upon
people like you and me for con­tributions
to provide the means by
which research can go on.
You have given blood and con­tributed
to the student government
sponsored chest drive but don't let
it end there. You don't have to
wait for these drives to get started
on the campus. One dime in the
collection box of some worthwhile
agency can sometimes do more,
good than a smile or word of
friendliness. That small sum could
come back to you one-hundr^

The biggest problem faced by
the Department of Buildings and

is the failure of a great many
students to consider tbe shrubbery

Waller, who. has been with the
department 25 years and in the

"Our greatest problem is replacing
shrubbery broken, or damaged
even worse, by inconsiderate stu­dents."
The number of plants re­placed
from this cause alone, is
greater than all other causes,
Waller stated.

Miller Sets New Scoring Record
In Leading Tigers Over Alabama
It was a happy group of Auburn fans that left the Sports
Arena last Saturday night, for Coach Joel. Eaves' "Swish
Kids" had just concluded a successful basketball campaign
with a decisive 78-73 win over cross-state rival Alabama.
The victory gave the Tigers an overall season record of
13 wins against 8 losses and an SEC record of 7 wins and 7
losses. Only once was the margin of victory for the oppon­ents
more than 10 points and only twice the Tigers lost
by that much. Georgia Tech took Auburn in Atlanta 79-61
for the most decisive loss, and Alabama and Ole Miss were
conquerors of Eaves' men by 61-51 and 65-55 scores respect­ively.
The remaining losses were by five and six points in
affairs where lady luck was the difference.
Center Bob Miller completely outplayed 'Bama's much
heralded pivotman, Jerry Harper. It was a repeat perfor­mance
of the Tiger star's play against LSU's Bob Pettit and
Tulane's Fritz Shultz. Miller also shattered the school free
throw_record. The' lanky pivotman also broke Bill Lynn's
scoring-record of 14.9 points per game with a season average
of 15.8.
Captain Bubber Farish turned in a sparkling performance
in the season finale, to wind up his college basketball career
with a flourish. The Monroeville senior tossed in seven
points and played a smooth floor game against the Crimson
Five.
This final victory left a pleasant taste in the mouths of
partisan fans, and an indication of more and better things
to come.
A-Day Contest Should Be Close
Saturday's A-Day game should be the most exciting
intra-squad battle Auburn fans have seen in years. Coach
Snug Jordan divided his squad early, and by Saturday both
teams will have had five days of separate practice to work
up their own special plays and strategy.
Just by scanning the roster, it would look as though
the Blue squad would be a cinch to win. But the Blue's
have only what can be called the spring training first
eleven, while the Orange squad has those twenty-two play­ers
who are ready to step into a starter's shoes. If a Blue
player gets hurt he will probably be replaced by less tal­ented
personnel, but, in the case of an Orange injury, the
change will hardly be noticeable.
Coach Jordan has been pleased with the showing of sev­eral
players this spring. Jordan had. praise for the backfield
work of Fob James, Charles Littles, Charles Hataway, Joe
Childress, and Bob Freeman, and flank work of Vince Nar-done
and Jimmy Long. Tackles D'Agostino and Brackett,
and guard George Atkins afforded the Tiger grid mentor
a pleasant surprise with their showing.
From here, it looks like an interesting battle shaping up.
See you at Cliff Hare Stadium.
Fans May Witness 'Box Revival'
Grid fans may get to witness a revival of the Notre Dame
box formation at Auburn in the A-Day game Saturday,.
Coach Jordan has been mixing his box plays with T-forma-tion
maneuvers and the result has been good.
Halfback Fob James and fullback Joe Childress especially
have taken a liking to the box and have been reeling off long
runs from the shift formation. Quarterback Joe Davis, who
is a blocking back in the box lineup, has been showing up
well in his new role of leading interference.
Jerry Bryan (Birmingham News) on the subject of pick­ing
the All-SEC team, "You can't pick a center for a forward
position and get a true, accurate selection. Usually the best
players on a team are the centers and if you want to get the
best five on your team you could pick the five outstanding
pivotmen."
Bryan's SEC team consisted of Curt Cunkle, Florida, and
Cob Jarvis, Qle Miss, forwards; Bob Pettit, LSU, center; Zip­py
Morocco, Georgia, and Benny McArdle, LSU, guards.

In Season Finale
By Charles Sullivan
Joe Davis, senior quarterback, will lead
Lhe sophomore-studded Orange team against a
favored Blue squad in a revival of "old style"
football in Saturday's A-Day game. Coaches
Shot Senn and Charley Waller will direct the
Orange team.
The Oranges will count on the
running of Dave Middleton, Joe
Childress, and Billy Hicks for
much of their yardage. Childress,
sophomore fullback from Rob-ertsdale,
has been running well
in recent scrimmages and is
slated to start.
AT RIGHTHALF, Davis can
call on Johnny Adams, whose
punting and running has been
outstanding. Middleton will prob­ably
handle safety f o r the
Oranges.
With lettermen Don Rogers and
Ted Neura at tackles, coaches
Senn and Waller have the nu­cleus
of a powerful forward wall.
Ends Jim Lofton, Bill Larimore,
and Jim Pyburn will see plenty
of action at the terminal posts.
Injured most of last season, Lof­ton
has shown well on both of­fense
and defense this spring.
Larimore snared 17 passes last
fall and is a definite scoring
threat.
Chuck Maxime, Busier Bur-ley,
and Charles McCurley will
lead the guard corps. However,
none of these men are lettermen,
so the edge at guard must go to
the Blues. Maxime, a 225 pound
sophomore from East Ypsilanti,
N.D., possesses speed and power
and is being counted on for con­siderable
duty next fall.
JACK LOCKLEAR, ace line­backer
who suffered a broken leg
in last year's Clemson game, will
be ready for action at center.
Sophomores Ben Lightfoot and
Dan Clayton will back up Lock-lear.
Aiding Davis with quarterback
duties will be Jim Peerson, a
passer with great potentialities,
and sophomore Howell Tubbs.
With Larimore and Lofton as tar­gets,
Peerson could be a deciding
factor for the Oranges. Half­backs
Ray Minor, Dave Stapleton,
Ray Mercer, Ralph McCoy, and
Roy Waters are all slated to see
plenty of action.
If Mercer can regain his run­ning
form, he will be a man the
Blues had better watch. Minor is
another ground-gaining threat.
JIM CROUCH, Ed Lawson, and
Parker White will provide re­serve
strength at ends. A stand­out
on defense, Crouch will prob­ably
get a chance to smear a few
Blues. At tackles the Oranges can
call on Don Ellis, George Rogers,
Ben Higgins, Ronald Shirey, and
Led by Johnny Mack Hudson,
Auburn's ace 157 pounder, the
mighty niatmen of Auburn de­feated
a strong Memphis Navy
team by a score of 20-8. In doing
so, the Tiger grapplers completed
their first undefeated-untied sea­son
and seventh consecutive con­ference
title.
The powerful Navy Hellcats
displayed their anticipated power
in losing the hard fought match
to the Tiger team. Umbach stated,
"They had the best balanced team
we encountered all year, and. were
equal to any faced by us this
season, better than most." The
majority of the Hellcats were
former champions.
HANK CHANCE, Hellcat coach,
had nothing but praise tor the Au­burn
matmen, terming them, "A
great bunch of competitors, as'
good as we met all season."
The quality of matches was
shown by the close scores of the
various matches. -Umbach singled
out the work of scrappy 123-pound
Robert David as being outstand­ing.
David bested Garrol Willis,
former high school SAAAU cham­pion
by a score of 6-3, to remain
undefeated.
Auburn's skillful 130 pounder
and defending SEIWA champion,
Ray Downey, defeated Bill DeBold,
Navy, 2-0. Downey was undefeated
in nine matches this year.
Auburn's 137-pounder Whit
Gunnels, lost a close decision to
Clyde Simpson, 6-5. Simpson was
awarded riding time, and the
necessary points for victory. Hell­cat
coach Chance listed this as the

Softball Officials Needed 6-THE PLAINSMAN
Softball officials are urged to
sign up for spring softball be­fore
March 18th. They may re­ceive
necessary information from
Coach Evans in Alumni Gym.
LITTLES AND JAMES will
give the Blue team the best break
away runners. Both halfbacks
have been running well this
month, and with a little blocking,
can do the same Saturday. Hata­way
has been rounding out well
in the fullback slot and has
shown potentialities at the line-backing
position.
In addition to Freeman, the
Blues will have an excellent sub­stitute
at quarterback in Bill
Burbank. Though only a sopho­more,
the 187 pound lad has im­pressed
the coaches with his cool
ball handling a n d downfield
blocking.
OTHER BACKFIELD men
slated to see action for the Blues
are quarterback Bob O'Neill,
halfbacks Claude Saia, Billy
Whitten, Shorty W h i t e and
Bobby Duke and fullback Dave
Motley.
At the end position the Blue
team will again have the edge
with Vince Nardone and Jimmy
Long. Both Nardone, 6'2" 194
pound sophomore, and Long, 6'
190 pound junior, have looked
good in scrimmage sessions, es­pecially
in the blocking and
tackling department.
Don Allen, Jim Hall, ' and
Bubba Warren will round out the
lineups on the flanks.
At the tackle slots, Lorendo and
Bradberry will probably choose
M. L. Brackett and Frank D'­Agostino
as starters. Brackett tips
the scales at 229 pounds and D'­Agostino
is a 220-pounder. Both
are sophomores. D'Agostino has
been hampered for the past week
with an injured arm but still has
done enough to warrant praise
from the coaches especially with
his blocking downfield.
RESERVE TACKLES include
Joe Neura, Jack Clark, David
Greer and Earl Bush, all sopho­mores.
Ed Duncan and George Atkins
will probably get the nod at the
guard positions. Both have shap­ed
up well during spring work­outs
and are currently running
Wednesday, March 4, 1953
first in line for the position.
Dolan King, Bill Kilpatrick, Neil
Gallaway and Al Brame are also
slated to see plenty of action.
Senior Ed Baker seems a cinch
to start at the center slot. The
205-pound Mobile lad has caught
on to the defensive slant.

Cagers Avenge Loss to Alabama
With 78-73 Triumph To Close Season
By Bill Hutto
Center Bob Miller broke two Auburn records as the
Tigers closed their 1953 campaign here last Saturday night
with a hard-fought 78-73 victory over Alabama's Crimson
Tide.
The win avenged a previous 61-51 loss to Bama in Tusca­loosa.
Miller closed the season with
a 15.8 point average per game to
shatter the old Auburn record of
14.9 set in 1950 by Bill Lynn of
Cullman.
The big junior from Piedmont
also replaced Lynn, the present
freshman cage mentor, as foul-shot
record-holder. Miller con­nected
at the charity line 96 times
in 155 attempts to eclipse the,
previous mark of 88 out of 149
set by Lynn in 1950.
After a see-saw battle in the
first half, which ended with the
Tide out front 38-35, Auburn
caught fire.
Consistent shooting by Miller,
who led all scorers with 24
markers, and the stellar floor
work of Jim O'Donnell constantly'
kept the crimson-clad five of Coach
Johnny Dee in trouble.
THE EXPECTED duel between
Miller and center Jerry Harper of
Alabama failed to materialize.
Harper was removed from the
game in the second quarter after
he had committed four personal
fouls. He was used only sparingly
in the fourth period.
Alabama's captain, Jim Grant,
playing his final game, tallied 18
points to lead the Tide scorers. He
v/as closely followed by push-shot
artist Bill Sexton, who ripped the
cords for 17 points.
Auburn's entire team set a tor­rid
pace in the waning moments
of the third period, and entered the
last quarter with a lead, main­tained
throughout the rest of the
game.
TIGER SENIOR captain, Bubber
Farish, played one of his finest
games of the season, as he ended
his college basketball career. Farish
added seven points to the Auburn
cause in addition to sparking the
team with an excellent floor game.
Three of coach Joel Eaves Tigers
left the" game by the personal
foul route. Farish, Bill Fickling,
and John Cochran were ousted in
the fourth quarter. Alabama's
Grant also went out due to in­fractions
within the last minute
of play.
DANGEROUS DAN McNair continued his winning streak as
the Tiger Grapplers met and defeated the Memphis Navy team by
a score of 20 to 8, here Friday, February 27. Here, Navy's, Don
Batson goes down under the tremendous heavyweight's strength.

Matmen t o Enter
SEIWA Competition
The mighty matmen of Auburn
will be after their share of laurels
this weekend in Nashville, Tenn.,
where, the Southeastern Intercol­legiate
Wrestling Championships
are being held. The Tiger matmen
have copped 35 individual titles
during past years.
The other teams entered in the
championships are Emory, Vander-bilt,
Middle Tennessee College,
University of Chattanooga, Mary-ville
College, and representatives
from Georgia Tech and the Uni­versity
of Tennessee.
IN THE championships, there
are two more weight divisions than
in regular season matches, the 115
pound class and the 191 pound
class. Burford Cotton, regularly
123 pound, is expected to go down
to the 115 pound class, and Al
Meyers is • counted on to wrestle
in the i9i pound class.
Concerning the coming cham­pionships,
Umbach stated, "It is
pretty hard to judge the teams
beforehand, because many coaches
shift their better men to different
weights. Also, we will have quite
a few seeded boys, and this could
prove disasterous in weights hav­ing
several good boys. The 123-
pound class seems to offer the
best competition."
WHEN ASKED about the Tiger
lineup for this weekend, Umbach
answered, "From the showings this
week, it looks like David at 123
pounds, Ray Downey 'at 130
pounds, either Hall or Gunnels in
137-pound class, Bains will go at
i47 pounds, Hudson or Baker at
157 pounds, Glen SandersT'as the
167 pounder, Dick Downey at 177
weight, Dan McNair will be our
heavyweight, and Cotton and
Meyers will represent us in the
two added weights."
Auburn has three defending
champions on the squad this year.
They are Ray Downey, Jerry Bains,
and Big Dan McNair. McNair has
won two championships, while
Downey and Bains have one title
to their credit.
AUBURN has seven undefeated
grapplers on the squad, and six of

"CAPTAIN JERRY BAINS, 147
pounder, wrestled one of the best
matches of his collegiate career,"
stated Emory coach Johnny Miller,
who officiated at the meet. Bains
defeated Jim Narutowicz by a
score of 6-0 to finish the season
undefeated.
Johnny Mack Hudson, Auburn's
aggressive 157 pounder led the
Plainsmen attack, pinning Fred
Moore in three minutes and 47
seconds. Moore has suffered only
one previous defeat this year. Hud­son
completed the year without
a setback.
Mighty Glen Sanders, Auburn's
167 pound terror, handily defeated
Pat Cortellessa, Navy, by a score
of 3-2, to climax his perfect season.
Cortellessa was one of the two.

shey, Director of Selective Ser­vice,
has stated that new regu­lations,
which will substantially
tighten the deferment criteria by
raising the standards, are in the.
process of formulation "oecause
the limited manpower supply no
longer justifies deferment of some
students, and because veterans
are now returning in sufficent
numbers to take the places of

General Hershey urged all
eligible students to take the test
so they will have scores in their
files when the local boards r e ­consider
their cases to determine
whether or not they meet the
criteria for deferment as stu­dents.
He has emphasized that
the present criteria are variables

The school of chemistry, through the cooperation of the
lab technicians, the chemistry department and the chemical
engineering department, ha*s drawn up a tentative plan for
Auburn's spring Open House festivities.
Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, is in charge
of the tolirs of exhibits planned
by the chemical engineering de­partment,
and will provide a plan­ned
guide service to the various
exhibits. The exhibits will be ex­plained
by members of the chemi­cal
engineering department.
EXHIBITS AND posters will
comprise the major part of their
plans for advertising the chemical

engineering department. Plans to
utilize the equipment in the vari­ous
labs, illustrating the manner
in which the operations are car­ried
out, have been made by the
student chapter of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers.
Posters, obtained from many
large companies, will be on exhibi­tion
explaining how products are
developed from a laboratory stage
to the commercial production stage.
These posters will be accompanied
with actual samples of the finished
product.
LABS WILL be open and equip­ment

classes.
Exhibits centered around dif­ferent
blood pictures and diag­nostic
