Wednesday, July 9, 1952 Number 4 4-H Club Delegates Visit API For Annual Conclave By Tom Duke Almost 500 delegates to Alabama's 36th Annual State 4-H Club Camp arrived in the Loveliest Village Monday. The high school agriculturists were accompanied by 130 county workers. The four delegates attending from each county have been housed in Magnolia and Auburn Halls. According to state 4-H leaders Hanchey Logue and Ann Barr, the club members are in the midst of a five-day program of business and planning sessions, campus tours, and contests. THE CAMP PROGRAM includes a series-of sessions designed to aid the youngsters in project planning and club work in their home counties. County team demonstrations on food preparation, a state dress revue and' a talent contest are highlights of the week's activities. The 4-H'ers will tour the experiment station, arid groups with - special interests in agricultural research will have a chance to see experiments in the machinery,, dairy, beef, poultry, and other departments of the station. Girls attending the camp will spend their time in studying API's home economics activities. * * * IN ADDITION to the more serious sessions, delegates will be treated to a full schedule of recreational activities.

Requirements for the scholarships will be a good high school record, an interest in forestry and in obtaining a forestry degree, and financial need. The Gulf States Paper Corporation will also announce fellowships to be awarded to students who wish to do graduate study in forestry. These scholarships will be awarded in the fall. Richards To Speak At Sunday Service James McDowell Richards, president of Columbia .Theological Seminary, Decatur, Ga., and member of Phi Beta Kappa, will speak Sunday, July 13, at 8 p.m., in Graves Center Amphitheater. Richards has received degrees from colleges in both the South and East. He received his Bachelor of Arts, and Doctor of Divinity degrees from Davidson College,' N. C; his Master of Arts from Princeton University; his Bachelor of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary; and his Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Born in Statesville, N. C, Richards was licensed" and ordained July 31, 1938 at Athens Presbyterian Church, after which he became pastor of the Presbyterian churches in Clarkesville and also in Thomas-ville, Ga. Three API Schools Plan Doctorate Courses For Fall By Bob French Beginning irrthe fall quarter, three schools at API will offer courses leading to -Doctor's degrees. This is the first time that such'courses have ever been offered at Auburn, and it is a major step in the progress that the institution has made in education in the past few years. API Given $12,000 For Cancer Work A $12,000 grant-in-aid has been awarded API by the American Cancer Society for additional cancer research. The research program, under the supervision of Dr. W. D. Salmon, animal husbandry head, is titled, "Relation of nutrition to cancer in. experimental animals." • * • • The Auburn grant was part of $1,800,000 awarded throughout the country." A grant-in-aid totaling $3,500 was granted to Tuskegee Institute for its work in the field of cancer. Experiments made by Doctor Salmon during the past two years have indicated that cancer may be induced in chickens through a simple dietary deficiency, and may be prevented by the removal of this deficiency. .Investigations of vitamin B-12 and Choline are also in progress, and continuation of this work may open new fields in cancer therapy: The grant-in-aid to Tuskegee was made for continuance of their research on the relationship of the tissue of the sunflower plant to the growth of cancer on human tissue. * * * Meditation Held Daily An interdenominational noonday meditation is held each day at the Social Center from 12:45 to 1. Various students give de-votionals and have charge of the quarter hour of spiritual guidance. All students are invited to attend. * * * The new degrees will be offered, in the- Schools of Agriculture; Science and Literature, and Education. .A special 10-man commit-, tee has been selected to work or*, the various aspects of initiating: this program. The School of Agriculture will offer courses in the fields of/ geology, animal husbandry and: nutrition, poultry and entomology. * * *• AGRICULTURE Dean E. V? Smith states "The School of Ag-*- riculture is fully equipped with, the best of instructors, equip-r-merit, and research development. We a r e fortunate in having Dr. Hi S. Swingle, foremost world auth— ority on fresh water fish culture? and many other nationally known-instructors and research scientists." It will take at least threes years of full time work to earn a> doctor's degree in this school. In the school of Science and: Literature, there will be a doctor's degree offered in the math department only, where Ihere will also be two $1,200 teaching-fellowships. The math department has been preparing for thes opening of this new course, and! the department has 12 teaching; fellowships in effect already. ' 0 * * * IN THE SCHOOL of Education, the only doctor's degree offered-* is in philosophy. Later there may. be a doctor's degree offered in the commercial courses. The main, difference consists of a thesis and language requirements. T h e r e1 will be no stipends offered, since-all funds will go toward library; and equipment fees. The new degrees were authorized during the annual meeting of API's board of trustees in June. The program is calculated to raise Auburn's educational program to the level of the most prominent of Southern universities.

High in Samford Tower, the clock has ticked faithfully through the years, watching Auburn's southward and westward expansion, still straining to burst through its 2,085-acre boundaries.

This summer for the first time, the LAC has found enough interested Latin students, or Spanish speaking American students, on the campus to keep the club alive and worthwhile. With Nestor Cifuentes presiding, the club has entered the* intramural program, and planned volleyball, tennis and softball games with other teams on the campus. They practice during weekends for regularly scheduled intramural considerable portion of the colorful history of API. * * » IN 1944, workmen of the Tower Clock Company tramped past the no-longer-used fourth floor of Samford and on up into the superstructure to1 give "Big Sam" a much needed power plant to drive his hands around. This action had become a necessity, as the wind-up hands for the four faces had rarely agreed as to the correct time. Since lights were later added to illuminate the structure, Samford Tower has served as a beacon to neophytes trudging homeward after informal initiations into campus organizations, to alumni returning for a visit, and to weary students approaching the campus after between-quarter holidays. The familiar light means destination's e n d—Auburn. games that are played during the week. The majority of boys on the team are from Latin countries, though the pitcher of the softball team is a North American. « * * TUESDAY RIGHTS find Cifuentes presiding over meetings of the LAC, with Guillermo Maymir, vice-president; Mercedes Maisso-net, secretary; Alfredo Cifuentes, vice-secretary; and Spiros Hallax, treasurer, helping. These meetings are usually just get-togethers that give club members a chance to. discuss club plans, and more currently, plans for an alumni dinner to be held either in Camaguey or Havana on September 24th. There are students from five Latin American countries—the Ee-public of Panama, Cuba, Puerto Rica, Colombia, and Bolivia—enrolled at Auburn this summer. Though the club is not limited to Latin members, they must make up at least 75 percent of the mem-- bership, while all non-Latin members are required to pass a Spanish test before being admitted to the club.

' , MM*T fiKSEIfS MMUCTKM >f KING'S MEN Guidance Service Offers Friendly Help By Becky Shigley The A u b u r n Student Guidance Service, under the direct i o n of Dr. H. F. Vallery, offers friendly, personal assistance t o any student desiring information about his f u t u r e occupat i o n or h e l p in choosing a field of work. Approximately 3G0 s t u d e n t s took advantage of t h i s opportunity for free and friendly counseling by visiting the Guidance Service last quarter. Dr. Vallery stresses the sole purpose of the Student Guidance Service as being "to render service by assisting each student in planning activities in which.he can do his best." THE STUDENT Guidance Service offers help in career selection, course planning, personal problems, psychological testing, and access to an extensive occupational library. The service is eager to help students find answers to any questions, such as "Where can I get a job in my chosen field?", "Is there such a thing as" a male secretary?", "Are opportunities available for a lady veterinarian?," and many others.' Special testing in specific areas is available to enable students to learn their abilities "and weak points. THE PROCEDURE for a student interested in finding out about himself is first a talk with Dr. Vallery or counselor W. O. Barrow. He may then be advised to do some occupational or directed reading. After following these instructions, he will visit his counselor again to evaluate his test results. In some cases he may be referred to other members of the API faculty who -will gladly give him any specific information about their respective schools. The faculty works with the Guidance Service in giving students personal assistance and counseling. After satisfactory results have been obtained, (enabling the counselor and the student to de» cide upon a positive coarse -of action, a plan is adopted to aid him in fulfilling his objectives. A student's problem is always held in strict confidence by bis counselor. » # * AUBURN'S STUD€NT Guid^ ance Service was formerly the Veterans Administration Advisory Center, but as there became less and less need for this particular service, the Council of -Deans decided to make it a permanent part of the Auburn program.

Completely Remodeled PHONE 154 102 NORTH COLLEGE A Ruthless Ki Little Man On Campus by Bibler We viewed with a great deal of pride and concern the news that the college had heen awarded a $12,000 grant-in-aid for cancer research. Pride, because the American Cancer Society saw fit to and could make such a grant to Auburn, and concern, because we hope with all our heart that at Auburn or somewhere an effective remedy can be found to stop the merciless killings of the deadly disease. It is gratifying to know that much effort is being concentrated in cancer research. Throughout' the nation, and the •world, millions of dollars have been and -are being spent in attempts to find successful methods for "killing" this killer. The •Auburn grant was part of $1,300,000 awarde d throughout the country by the Society. ^Nearby Tuskegee Institute was granted >$3,500 for its work in the field of cancer. However, we cannot help but feel that •with the seriousness involved, in view of 'the thousands of people who are killed by -cancer every year, that much more effort ^and money should be centralized in an •^all-out drive to successfully, once and for •all, find medical means to stop cancer. When we consider the tremendous amounts of money spent annually for such less worthy and worthless projects as liquor, beer, movies, gambling, then we .find it hard to understand why people will not combine their financial forces into one powerful army strong enough to hurl back this ruthless enemy of society—cancer. Instead, people are willing to take the risk of being hit by cancer in order that other needless endeavors may be continued. The chances of a person becoming a victim of cancer, by the way, are much greater than everyone realizes. Latest figures, we believe, are that one out of every 12 Americans will sooner or later be struck down by cancer. The grant-in-aid given Auburn will, we sincerely hope, be used wisely. And because of the splendid work that has already been done under the supervision of Dr. W. D. Salmon, API animal husbandry head who is director of the Auburn research program, we feel sure that the money will be used carefully and considerately. For Doctor Salmon and his assistants, we wish the maximum success in their work. Ah, S o - A Swimming Pool's In Sight A swimming pool at last! This fair city's recreational program •will be greatly strengthened next summer ''by the construction of a modern swimming Ipool at a location yet to be decided. According to the chairman of the Auburn ^Park and Recreational Board, plans are de- 'finitely progressing for a municipal swim- ?ming pool to be constructed sometime far ''in advance of next summer. This should be welcome news to both 'townspeople and students, since all have •for some time felt the strong need of a local swimming pool. For a city as large «as Auburn,, we believe the proposed pool is long past due. Many communities considerably smaller than Auburn provide ex-. cellent swimming pools for their citizens, while for years the city fathers of Auburn have apparently deemed a swimming pool unnecessary in the city's recreational program. Drawings and other plans for the pool now being made follow the sale of $55,000 in warrants two years ago by the city commission to finance the pool. Materials restrictions resulting from the war stymied the plans at that time, but these restrictions were recently removed. We believe the completion of a municipal pool that will adequately serve Auburn's needs will be most favorably received- by those Au-burnites desiring clean, inviting "relief from the heat" each summer. A Deep Split Now Apparent As Republicans prepare to ballot tonight on the party's nominee for the Nov- -ember election, it becomes more and more ^apparent that a deep, possibly permanent, ssplit has been created in the party by the -charges of Ike and Taft. This split is no longer one of personalities, but is established basically on party control and fundamental Republican policy. Although it is encouraging to note the growing repudiation of the Old Guard of the party (the Taft-MacArthur element), it is disheartening to see ambitious men on both sides throw everything to the winds in an effort for personal gain. Republicans would do well to heed the warning words , of Senator Style Bridges, "that the Republicans can not hope to win without com-, plete unity behind the party's nominee and by conducting a fighting campaign." Is Senator Bridges' warning asking too much of the Old Guard and the Eisenhower forces? Only time will tell. Auburn Carefulness Paid Off Auburn did not participate. But this time, we're glad. When it was finally confirmed Monday that Auburn ! students had not contributed to Alabama's Fourth of July weekend death toll of 18, we breathed a deep sigh of relief. It is refreshing to know that all Auburn students made the wise decision of being careful. We hope that this decision will carry over into the rest of the year, and that it will not be felt that carefulness should be exerted only on the Fourth. 76e Sumnten, ma*t WALTER ALBRITTON Editor 'MAX HALI Managing Editor Jean Erwin News Editor John Raines - Sports Editor 'Hilda Hargrove Editorial Assistant Gay Hogan 'z. - Editorial Assistant :Bob French Editorial Assistant JACK JOHNSON Business Manager Jack Appleton Advertising Manager Gloria Cobb _ Secretary-Accountant Jeanne-Marie Farrar _ Exchange Editor Jim Roberts Circulation Manager STAFF MEMBERS Dot Anderson, Bennita Andrew, Bill Beckwith.

'Plains Talk' From Readers Dear Editor: It was a real shock to read in the June 18 issue of The Summer Plainsman of the death of Jim Forrester. I think that Jim as well as his many friends would have approved of your comments about Jim's contributions .to life at Auburn; the words you used were as effective as any words can be. Eulogistic remarks are difficult to phrase; as difficult as any Au= •burnite's effort to crystallize into language that indefinable but real force, The Auburn Spirit. As Jim intimated in his last undergraduate column, the discussion of The Spirit usually ends with the elders advising the newcomers to stay around The Village until some of The Spirit rubs off onto them. Eventually this process leads to emulating the example of the men and women who distinguish themselves as true exponents or personification of The Auburn Spirit, and Jim Forrester was one of these. Trite as it may sound, this is the highest tribute any Auburn son or daughter can pay to another. Sincerely, Leonard J. Hooper • » » Dear Editor: I feel that the appointment of James Foy as director of student affairs was a wise. move on the part of Auburn authorities. During his period of time in which Mr. Foy served as acting director of student affairs the feeling of mutual respect and cooperation between student leaders and members of the administration which exists at Auburn was greatly strengthened. The friendly spirit and outstanding personality of Mr. Foy was largely responsible for this growth. I feel that Mr. Foy will continue the outstanding job of student • work which he began in the position of acting director. Sincerely, Morton Cregg * * * Dear Editor: Regarding Plainsman columnist Les Ford's column of the week of July 2, I would like to take issue with him on his request that the Board of Trustees name the girls' dorms after former graduates. Evidently, Ford has less than average intelligence. Almost anyone can remember the dorms easily by the numbers system being used presently. I see no reason why the dorms should be fouled up with the obsolete names of the first gals who attended Auburn. That would make the problem of re-, membering which dorm is which even more difficult than it is. I suggest that columnist Ford concentrate on politics or nature,, if his column on naming the dorms was an example of his best work on a campus subject. Sincerely yours, Larry Downing * * * Dear Editor: This is to inform you that I think the weekly symposium being run by The Summer Plainsman is one of the finest features ever incorporated into your newspaper. The main selling point of this feature is that it gives so many .people the opportunity to show their ignorance in so many ways. If the answers you receive on your symposium questions are typical of the deep thought engaged in by Auburn students, then God pity Alabama and the South when such persons are released on the unsuspecting public, armed with bachelor's degrees! It seems tp me that when students are forewarned that their remarks are being recorded for publication, they should be able to make fairly intelligent comments. Such answers as "Have jazz concerts" in regard to improvement of the lecture and concert series are an insult to local students who have the requisite amount of good taste to appreciate the kind of music being played at these events. Keep up the good work on your symposium. They are the bread of life to a corn-fed cynic such as . . . Yours very truly, W. J. Bryan * * * Lower Chapoka, Ala. July 4, 1952 Dear Editor, It was with much regret that I read of the unnecessary pain which Solomon Z.

Last summer Jim Dillion and Jack DeMedicis carried the Auburn name before the national spotlight by being named on the All-America Track Team, after their brilliant performances in the NCAA. This summer, Dillion climbed to greater fame by capturing the National AAU discus championship and going on to the, United State Olympic Team. Inman Veal, Auburn's star basketball and baseball player, proved himself talented enough to get a major league contract, and Bobby Golden, Auburn halfback for two seasons, was recently appointed head football Coach, at Linden High School. Kenny Howard, Auburn trainer, was one of eight trainers selected for the Olympic Team. Congratulations to ali these fellows—for bringing glory to Auburn; we wish them the best of luck in their new ventures. NO MAJOR SPORT is on the Auburn athletic agenda this summer; thus, we will dedicate our time and space to intramural events, personalities and coming events. Each week we have and will continue to feature one of Ai&ttrri's football opponents ior the coming season. We have omitted Wofford and gone en to the rest of the schedule, since we have too little material on the Terriers to write an adequate story. , . However, we realize that Wofford cannot be classified as a breather. They were two years ago, but the results proved the fallacy of such a classification. That game (Wofford i9-Auburn 14) has since helped the Tigers, as they have not gone into a game with a feeling of superiority, but rather have gone into the games realizing that every opponent is a worthy challenger. Auburn will enter the game a favorite this fall. Tiger Briefs . . . . Bill Beckwith, in his sports column in the -Alumnews, made the notation that often passing can mean winning or losing a ball game or in reverse losing or winning. He pointed out that the Tigers completed only 23 aerials in the five wins, while in losing the quarterbacks and receivers completed 57. . . . Congratulations to Athletic Director Jeff Beard for getting Auburn the largest football network in Alabama history, WSGN will handle the games. We note that Homer Williams was voted ihe Tigers top football player in 1951 by the sports department. Basketball honors went to Inman Veal, while Dan McNair, Buck Bradberry, and Jim Dillion won top votes as leaders in wrestling, baseball and track. OUR HAT'S OFF to Roger Price, radio comedian, who pulled a good one last Saturday night. Roger says that politicians are people who are elected by the people and paid by the taxpayers to do things that basketball players get put in jail for. SPE's Pound Tigers, Theta Chi Division A Also Exhibits Strength In First Week Of Intramural Play By John Raines Intramural sports began with a bang last week, with 12 games being played in the two leagues. With no teams playing more than two games, there still seem to be some conclusions that can be drawn. Teams to beat appear to be the SPE's in League I and Division A in League II. The SPE's walloped a strong Tiger team by 23 to 2, and went right "on to take another breather from a pre-season contender, TC, by a score of 19 to 5. SPE is tied for the league lead with PKT, who won from TC and GD's. * * * DIVISION A moved into a first place tie with SPi in their league, by virtue of two victories in comparatively tight ball games. They began the season by outscoring the Latin American Club 16-7, and squeezing out a tight 13-12 victory over TKE. SPi was awarded a 7-0 forfeit over DC, and showed their power in a 17-4 rout of the rebels. IN OTHER GAMES last week the Greasy D's won 16-14 over BSU.

At the climax of the spring drills, sophomore Jack Locklear let it be known that he's willing and ready to duel veterans Guy Bruce and Ed Baker for the starting honors. Coach Shug Jordan, an Auburn center in the early thirties, was pleased with the progress the big Fort Payne boy made, and believes Locklear is almost on a par with the two veterans. A fullback in high school, Locklear was one of Jordan's "finds," since he won his scholarship on the "tryout basis" last fall. Transplanted from the backfield to tackle as a freshman, Jack terrorized the varsity in practice enough to be elevated to .that group, and started the last two games as a defensive linebacker and tackle. D U RIN G T H E spring, line coach Shot Senn tried the still-growing athlete at center and the results were so pleasing that Senn asked him to forget the tackle assignments and to concentrate on snapping 'the ball and linebacking. Technically speaking, the position still belongs to Bruce and Baker, since the two proved themselves last year. How long this will last depends on Locklear himself. BRUCE, tight-lipped and coy, ie-the-lone senior-on the list-of-cen-ters, which includes Baker, Locklear, Cliff Bdyleston, Glenn Pugh, and Dan Clayton. His thundering blocks during the early fall opened many a gap for the high-stepping Homer Williams. Late in the season, Bruce moved to linebacker and did a fine job, despite spending little time during practice on it. » * * IT WAS DURING this time that the fiery Baker came to light. Just opposite in terrfperament from Locklear and Bruce, the boiling blood of the Mobile junior made life miserable for all opponents, and sometimes reached his scrimmage buddies. The difference in temperament is one of the reasons for the corn- Ed Baker Sauer, Rush Lead In National Victory Those red-hot National Leaguers made it three in row yesterday as they edged out a 3-2 victory over the American Leaguers.

The Greenies were weak last year under Coach Henry Frnka, who was directing the Tu lane grid fortunes for the sixth year. They lost five conference games last year, while winning one, and finished the season at the tail end of the SEC standings. However, Tulane is always looked upon by opposing teams as a strongs team, no matter where they appear in the standings. Wolf can be expected to continue the Wave tradition of a good line. fr------- • C 0 1 L E G E SUPPLY STORE 1 Supplies For AH Your School Needs • - BENNETT SIMS, Mgr.

They were first in both rushing and passing defense in 1950. * * * TULANE HOLDS the edge over the Tigers in games won and lost. The Greenies have won 15, the Tigers 11, while they fought to deadlocks in 6 of the 32 encounters. Last year the Tigers pulled one of the major upsets of the year by defeating the Green^Wave 20-0, the week after Tulane swamped a strong Holy Cross team; * Since joining the Southeastern Conference in 1933, the Greenies have won two championships and participated in two bowl games. They were the SEC champions in 1949 with five conference wins and one loss. Tulane doesn't predict winning either the championship or a trip to a bowl this year, but they are young and will be gunning for revenge. The New Orleans boys will be strong in the backfield, with Max McGee and Ronnie Kent returning. McGee gained 543 yards in 102 trys for a 5.2 average. They have an experienced passer in Fred Dempsey, senior, who completed just a few less than half of his attempts last year. Right behind him comes Pete Clements, Tiger Cub Reedy For Publication The Tiger Cub, Auburn's handbook for freshmen, will go to press the first week in September and be ready for distribution at the beginning of the fall quarter, stated Walter Everidge, editor, in a recent announcement.

Housepian weighs 220 pounds and was one of the stalwarts in Tulane's line for the past two years. Only two guards were lost by-graduation last spring, and the returnees are promising. The guards average 208 pounds, and are headed by left guard Tommy Comeaux, who also kicks the Greenies extra points. The Green Waves were weak last year, but no Southeastern Conference team scheduled them as a breather for this year. They are young, _and gained valuable experience in that losing season. Auburn can win again, but they will probably enter the game a toss-up.

Three API Schools Plan Doctorate Courses For Fall By Bob French Beginning irrthe fall quarter, three schools at API will offer courses leading to -Doctor's degrees. This is the first time that such'courses have ever been offered at Auburn, and it is a major step in the progress that the institution has made in education in the past few years. API Given $12,000 For Cancer Work A $12,000 grant-in-aid has been awarded API by the American Cancer Society for additional cancer research. The research program, under the supervision of Dr. W. D. Salmon, animal husbandry head, is titled, "Relation of nutrition to cancer in. experimental animals." • * • • The Auburn grant was part of $1,800,000 awarded throughout the country." A grant-in-aid totaling $3,500 was granted to Tuskegee Institute for its work in the field of cancer. Experiments made by Doctor Salmon during the past two years have indicated that cancer may be induced in chickens through a simple dietary deficiency, and may be prevented by the removal of this deficiency. .Investigations of vitamin B-12 and Choline are also in progress, and continuation of this work may open new fields in cancer therapy: The grant-in-aid to Tuskegee was made for continuance of their research on the relationship of the tissue of the sunflower plant to the growth of cancer on human tissue. * * * Meditation Held Daily An interdenominational noonday meditation is held each day at the Social Center from 12:45 to 1. Various students give de-votionals and have charge of the quarter hour of spiritual guidance. All students are invited to attend. * * * The new degrees will be offered, in the- Schools of Agriculture; Science and Literature, and Education. .A special 10-man commit-, tee has been selected to work or*, the various aspects of initiating: this program. The School of Agriculture will offer courses in the fields of/ geology, animal husbandry and: nutrition, poultry and entomology. * * *• AGRICULTURE Dean E. V? Smith states "The School of Ag-*- riculture is fully equipped with, the best of instructors, equip-r-merit, and research development. We a r e fortunate in having Dr. Hi S. Swingle, foremost world auth— ority on fresh water fish culture? and many other nationally known-instructors and research scientists." It will take at least threes years of full time work to earn a> doctor's degree in this school. In the school of Science and: Literature, there will be a doctor's degree offered in the math department only, where Ihere will also be two $1,200 teaching-fellowships. The math department has been preparing for thes opening of this new course, and! the department has 12 teaching; fellowships in effect already. ' 0 * * * IN THE SCHOOL of Education, the only doctor's degree offered-* is in philosophy. Later there may. be a doctor's degree offered in the commercial courses. The main, difference consists of a thesis and language requirements. T h e r e1 will be no stipends offered, since-all funds will go toward library; and equipment fees. The new degrees were authorized during the annual meeting of API's board of trustees in June. The program is calculated to raise Auburn's educational program to the level of the most prominent of Southern universities.

High in Samford Tower, the clock has ticked faithfully through the years, watching Auburn's southward and westward expansion, still straining to burst through its 2,085-acre boundaries. In 1889, few realized the fame, prestige and pride the upper part of Samford Tower would bring to the institution by 1952.

This summer for the first time, the LAC has found enough interested Latin students, or Spanish speaking American students, on the campus to keep the club alive and worthwhile. With Nestor Cifuentes presiding, the club has entered the* intramural program, and planned volleyball, tennis and softball games with other teams on the campus. They practice during weekends for regularly scheduled intramural considerable portion of the colorful history of API. * * » IN 1944, workmen of the Tower Clock Company tramped past the no-longer-used fourth floor of Samford and on up into the superstructure to1 give "Big Sam" a much needed power plant to drive his hands around. This action had become a necessity, as the wind-up hands for the four faces had rarely agreed as to the correct time. Since lights were later added to illuminate the structure, Samford Tower has served as a beacon to neophytes trudging homeward after informal initiations into campus organizations, to alumni returning for a visit, and to weary students approaching the campus after between-quarter holidays. The familiar light means destination's e n d—Auburn. games that are played during the week. The majority of boys on the team are from Latin countries, though the pitcher of the softball team is a North American. « * * TUESDAY RIGHTS find Cifuentes presiding over meetings of the LAC, with Guillermo Maymir, vice-president; Mercedes Maisso-net, secretary; Alfredo Cifuentes, vice-secretary; and Spiros Hallax, treasurer, helping. These meetings are usually just get-togethers that give club members a chance to. discuss club plans, and more currently, plans for an alumni dinner to be held either in Camaguey or Havana on September 24th. There are students from five Latin American countries—the Ee-public of Panama, Cuba, Puerto Rica, Colombia, and Bolivia—enrolled at Auburn this summer. Though the club is not limited to Latin members, they must make up at least 75 percent of the mem-- bership, while all non-Latin members are required to pass a Spanish test before being admitted to the club.

' , MM*T fiKSEIfS MMUCTKM >f KING'S MEN Guidance Service Offers Friendly Help By Becky Shigley The A u b u r n Student Guidance Service, under the direct i o n of Dr. H. F. Vallery, offers friendly, personal assistance t o any student desiring information about his f u t u r e occupat i o n or h e l p in choosing a field of work. Approximately 3G0 s t u d e n t s took advantage of t h i s opportunity for free and friendly counseling by visiting the Guidance Service last quarter. Dr. Vallery stresses the sole purpose of the Student Guidance Service as being "to render service by assisting each student in planning activities in which.he can do his best." THE STUDENT Guidance Service offers help in career selection, course planning, personal problems, psychological testing, and access to an extensive occupational library. The service is eager to help students find answers to any questions, such as "Where can I get a job in my chosen field?", "Is there such a thing as" a male secretary?", "Are opportunities available for a lady veterinarian?," and many others.' Special testing in specific areas is available to enable students to learn their abilities "and weak points. THE PROCEDURE for a student interested in finding out about himself is first a talk with Dr. Vallery or counselor W. O. Barrow. He may then be advised to do some occupational or directed reading. After following these instructions, he will visit his counselor again to evaluate his test results. In some cases he may be referred to other members of the API faculty who -will gladly give him any specific information about their respective schools. The faculty works with the Guidance Service in giving students personal assistance and counseling. After satisfactory results have been obtained, (enabling the counselor and the student to de» cide upon a positive coarse -of action, a plan is adopted to aid him in fulfilling his objectives. A student's problem is always held in strict confidence by bis counselor. » # * AUBURN'S STUD€NT Guid^ ance Service was formerly the Veterans Administration Advisory Center, but as there became less and less need for this particular service, the Council of -Deans decided to make it a permanent part of the Auburn program.

Completely Remodeled PHONE 154 102 NORTH COLLEGE A Ruthless Ki Little Man On Campus by Bibler We viewed with a great deal of pride and concern the news that the college had heen awarded a $12,000 grant-in-aid for cancer research. Pride, because the American Cancer Society saw fit to and could make such a grant to Auburn, and concern, because we hope with all our heart that at Auburn or somewhere an effective remedy can be found to stop the merciless killings of the deadly disease. It is gratifying to know that much effort is being concentrated in cancer research. Throughout' the nation, and the •world, millions of dollars have been and -are being spent in attempts to find successful methods for "killing" this killer. The •Auburn grant was part of $1,300,000 awarde d throughout the country by the Society. ^Nearby Tuskegee Institute was granted >$3,500 for its work in the field of cancer. However, we cannot help but feel that •with the seriousness involved, in view of 'the thousands of people who are killed by -cancer every year, that much more effort ^and money should be centralized in an •^all-out drive to successfully, once and for •all, find medical means to stop cancer. When we consider the tremendous amounts of money spent annually for such less worthy and worthless projects as liquor, beer, movies, gambling, then we .find it hard to understand why people will not combine their financial forces into one powerful army strong enough to hurl back this ruthless enemy of society—cancer. Instead, people are willing to take the risk of being hit by cancer in order that other needless endeavors may be continued. The chances of a person becoming a victim of cancer, by the way, are much greater than everyone realizes. Latest figures, we believe, are that one out of every 12 Americans will sooner or later be struck down by cancer. The grant-in-aid given Auburn will, we sincerely hope, be used wisely. And because of the splendid work that has already been done under the supervision of Dr. W. D. Salmon, API animal husbandry head who is director of the Auburn research program, we feel sure that the money will be used carefully and considerately. For Doctor Salmon and his assistants, we wish the maximum success in their work. Ah, S o - A Swimming Pool's In Sight A swimming pool at last! This fair city's recreational program •will be greatly strengthened next summer ''by the construction of a modern swimming Ipool at a location yet to be decided. According to the chairman of the Auburn ^Park and Recreational Board, plans are de- 'finitely progressing for a municipal swim- ?ming pool to be constructed sometime far ''in advance of next summer. This should be welcome news to both 'townspeople and students, since all have •for some time felt the strong need of a local swimming pool. For a city as large «as Auburn,, we believe the proposed pool is long past due. Many communities considerably smaller than Auburn provide ex-. cellent swimming pools for their citizens, while for years the city fathers of Auburn have apparently deemed a swimming pool unnecessary in the city's recreational program. Drawings and other plans for the pool now being made follow the sale of $55,000 in warrants two years ago by the city commission to finance the pool. Materials restrictions resulting from the war stymied the plans at that time, but these restrictions were recently removed. We believe the completion of a municipal pool that will adequately serve Auburn's needs will be most favorably received- by those Au-burnites desiring clean, inviting "relief from the heat" each summer. A Deep Split Now Apparent As Republicans prepare to ballot tonight on the party's nominee for the Nov- -ember election, it becomes more and more ^apparent that a deep, possibly permanent, ssplit has been created in the party by the -charges of Ike and Taft. This split is no longer one of personalities, but is established basically on party control and fundamental Republican policy. Although it is encouraging to note the growing repudiation of the Old Guard of the party (the Taft-MacArthur element), it is disheartening to see ambitious men on both sides throw everything to the winds in an effort for personal gain. Republicans would do well to heed the warning words , of Senator Style Bridges, "that the Republicans can not hope to win without com-, plete unity behind the party's nominee and by conducting a fighting campaign." Is Senator Bridges' warning asking too much of the Old Guard and the Eisenhower forces? Only time will tell. Auburn Carefulness Paid Off Auburn did not participate. But this time, we're glad. When it was finally confirmed Monday that Auburn ! students had not contributed to Alabama's Fourth of July weekend death toll of 18, we breathed a deep sigh of relief. It is refreshing to know that all Auburn students made the wise decision of being careful. We hope that this decision will carry over into the rest of the year, and that it will not be felt that carefulness should be exerted only on the Fourth. 76e Sumnten, ma*t WALTER ALBRITTON Editor 'MAX HALI Managing Editor Jean Erwin News Editor John Raines - Sports Editor 'Hilda Hargrove Editorial Assistant Gay Hogan 'z. - Editorial Assistant :Bob French Editorial Assistant JACK JOHNSON Business Manager Jack Appleton Advertising Manager Gloria Cobb _ Secretary-Accountant Jeanne-Marie Farrar _ Exchange Editor Jim Roberts Circulation Manager STAFF MEMBERS Dot Anderson, Bennita Andrew, Bill Beckwith.

'Plains Talk' From Readers Dear Editor: It was a real shock to read in the June 18 issue of The Summer Plainsman of the death of Jim Forrester. I think that Jim as well as his many friends would have approved of your comments about Jim's contributions .to life at Auburn; the words you used were as effective as any words can be. Eulogistic remarks are difficult to phrase; as difficult as any Au= •burnite's effort to crystallize into language that indefinable but real force, The Auburn Spirit. As Jim intimated in his last undergraduate column, the discussion of The Spirit usually ends with the elders advising the newcomers to stay around The Village until some of The Spirit rubs off onto them. Eventually this process leads to emulating the example of the men and women who distinguish themselves as true exponents or personification of The Auburn Spirit, and Jim Forrester was one of these. Trite as it may sound, this is the highest tribute any Auburn son or daughter can pay to another. Sincerely, Leonard J. Hooper • » » Dear Editor: I feel that the appointment of James Foy as director of student affairs was a wise. move on the part of Auburn authorities. During his period of time in which Mr. Foy served as acting director of student affairs the feeling of mutual respect and cooperation between student leaders and members of the administration which exists at Auburn was greatly strengthened. The friendly spirit and outstanding personality of Mr. Foy was largely responsible for this growth. I feel that Mr. Foy will continue the outstanding job of student • work which he began in the position of acting director. Sincerely, Morton Cregg * * * Dear Editor: Regarding Plainsman columnist Les Ford's column of the week of July 2, I would like to take issue with him on his request that the Board of Trustees name the girls' dorms after former graduates. Evidently, Ford has less than average intelligence. Almost anyone can remember the dorms easily by the numbers system being used presently. I see no reason why the dorms should be fouled up with the obsolete names of the first gals who attended Auburn. That would make the problem of re-, membering which dorm is which even more difficult than it is. I suggest that columnist Ford concentrate on politics or nature,, if his column on naming the dorms was an example of his best work on a campus subject. Sincerely yours, Larry Downing * * * Dear Editor: This is to inform you that I think the weekly symposium being run by The Summer Plainsman is one of the finest features ever incorporated into your newspaper. The main selling point of this feature is that it gives so many .people the opportunity to show their ignorance in so many ways. If the answers you receive on your symposium questions are typical of the deep thought engaged in by Auburn students, then God pity Alabama and the South when such persons are released on the unsuspecting public, armed with bachelor's degrees! It seems tp me that when students are forewarned that their remarks are being recorded for publication, they should be able to make fairly intelligent comments. Such answers as "Have jazz concerts" in regard to improvement of the lecture and concert series are an insult to local students who have the requisite amount of good taste to appreciate the kind of music being played at these events. Keep up the good work on your symposium. They are the bread of life to a corn-fed cynic such as . . . Yours very truly, W. J. Bryan * * * Lower Chapoka, Ala.

Last summer Jim Dillion and Jack DeMedicis carried the Auburn name before the national spotlight by being named on the All-America Track Team, after their brilliant performances in the NCAA. This summer, Dillion climbed to greater fame by capturing the National AAU discus championship and going on to the, United State Olympic Team. Inman Veal, Auburn's star basketball and baseball player, proved himself talented enough to get a major league contract, and Bobby Golden, Auburn halfback for two seasons, was recently appointed head football Coach, at Linden High School. Kenny Howard, Auburn trainer, was one of eight trainers selected for the Olympic Team. Congratulations to ali these fellows—for bringing glory to Auburn; we wish them the best of luck in their new ventures. NO MAJOR SPORT is on the Auburn athletic agenda this summer; thus, we will dedicate our time and space to intramural events, personalities and coming events. Each week we have and will continue to feature one of Ai&ttrri's football opponents ior the coming season. We have omitted Wofford and gone en to the rest of the schedule, since we have too little material on the Terriers to write an adequate story. , . However, we realize that Wofford cannot be classified as a breather. They were two years ago, but the results proved the fallacy of such a classification. That game (Wofford i9-Auburn 14) has since helped the Tigers, as they have not gone into a game with a feeling of superiority, but rather have gone into the games realizing that every opponent is a worthy challenger. Auburn will enter the game a favorite this fall. Tiger Briefs . . . . Bill Beckwith, in his sports column in the -Alumnews, made the notation that often passing can mean winning or losing a ball game or in reverse losing or winning. He pointed out that the Tigers completed only 23 aerials in the five wins, while in losing the quarterbacks and receivers completed 57. . . . Congratulations to Athletic Director Jeff Beard for getting Auburn the largest football network in Alabama history, WSGN will handle the games. We note that Homer Williams was voted ihe Tigers top football player in 1951 by the sports department. Basketball honors went to Inman Veal, while Dan McNair, Buck Bradberry, and Jim Dillion won top votes as leaders in wrestling, baseball and track. OUR HAT'S OFF to Roger Price, radio comedian, who pulled a good one last Saturday night. Roger says that politicians are people who are elected by the people and paid by the taxpayers to do things that basketball players get put in jail for. SPE's Pound Tigers, Theta Chi Division A Also Exhibits Strength In First Week Of Intramural Play By John Raines Intramural sports began with a bang last week, with 12 games being played in the two leagues. With no teams playing more than two games, there still seem to be some conclusions that can be drawn. Teams to beat appear to be the SPE's in League I and Division A in League II. The SPE's walloped a strong Tiger team by 23 to 2, and went right "on to take another breather from a pre-season contender, TC, by a score of 19 to 5. SPE is tied for the league lead with PKT, who won from TC and GD's. * * * DIVISION A moved into a first place tie with SPi in their league, by virtue of two victories in comparatively tight ball games. They began the season by outscoring the Latin American Club 16-7, and squeezing out a tight 13-12 victory over TKE. SPi was awarded a 7-0 forfeit over DC, and showed their power in a 17-4 rout of the rebels. IN OTHER GAMES last week the Greasy D's won 16-14 over BSU.

At the climax of the spring drills, sophomore Jack Locklear let it be known that he's willing and ready to duel veterans Guy Bruce and Ed Baker for the starting honors. Coach Shug Jordan, an Auburn center in the early thirties, was pleased with the progress the big Fort Payne boy made, and believes Locklear is almost on a par with the two veterans. A fullback in high school, Locklear was one of Jordan's "finds," since he won his scholarship on the "tryout basis" last fall. Transplanted from the backfield to tackle as a freshman, Jack terrorized the varsity in practice enough to be elevated to .that group, and started the last two games as a defensive linebacker and tackle. D U RIN G T H E spring, line coach Shot Senn tried the still-growing athlete at center and the results were so pleasing that Senn asked him to forget the tackle assignments and to concentrate on snapping 'the ball and linebacking. Technically speaking, the position still belongs to Bruce and Baker, since the two proved themselves last year. How long this will last depends on Locklear himself. BRUCE, tight-lipped and coy, ie-the-lone senior-on the list-of-cen-ters, which includes Baker, Locklear, Cliff Bdyleston, Glenn Pugh, and Dan Clayton. His thundering blocks during the early fall opened many a gap for the high-stepping Homer Williams. Late in the season, Bruce moved to linebacker and did a fine job, despite spending little time during practice on it. » * * IT WAS DURING this time that the fiery Baker came to light. Just opposite in terrfperament from Locklear and Bruce, the boiling blood of the Mobile junior made life miserable for all opponents, and sometimes reached his scrimmage buddies. The difference in temperament is one of the reasons for the corn- Ed Baker Sauer, Rush Lead In National Victory Those red-hot National Leaguers made it three in row yesterday as they edged out a 3-2 victory over the American Leaguers.

The Americans went ahead in third with two runs, but the Nationals came back and went ahead with a towering homer hit by Hank Sauer, Cubs, in the fourth.

The Greenies were weak last year under Coach Henry Frnka, who was directing the Tu lane grid fortunes for the sixth year. They lost five conference games last year, while winning one, and finished the season at the tail end of the SEC standings. However, Tulane is always looked upon by opposing teams as a strongs team, no matter where they appear in the standings. Wolf can be expected to continue the Wave tradition of a good line. fr------- • C 0 1 L E G E SUPPLY STORE 1 Supplies For AH Your School Needs • - BENNETT SIMS, Mgr. Phone Ex. 347 Even though Tulane was a losing team last year the Greenies ranked fifth in rushing defense and second in pass defense. They were first in both rushing and passing defense in 1950. * * * TULANE HOLDS the edge over the Tigers in games won and lost. The Greenies have won 15, the Tigers 11, while they fought to deadlocks in 6 of the 32 encounters. Last year the Tigers pulled one of the major upsets of the year by defeating the Green^Wave 20-0, the week after Tulane swamped a strong Holy Cross team; * Since joining the Southeastern Conference in 1933, the Greenies have won two championships and participated in two bowl games. They were the SEC champions in 1949 with five conference wins and one loss. Tulane doesn't predict winning either the championship or a trip to a bowl this year, but they are young and will be gunning for revenge. The New Orleans boys will be strong in the backfield, with Max McGee and Ronnie Kent returning. McGee gained 543 yards in 102 trys for a 5.2 average. They have an experienced passer in Fred Dempsey, senior, who completed just a few less than half of his attempts last year. Right behind him comes Pete Clements, Tiger Cub Reedy For Publication The Tiger Cub, Auburn's handbook for freshmen, will go to press the first week in September and be ready for distribution at the beginning of the fall quarter, stated Walter Everidge, editor, in a recent announcement.

Housepian weighs 220 pounds and was one of the stalwarts in Tulane's line for the past two years. Only two guards were lost by-graduation last spring, and the returnees are promising. The guards average 208 pounds, and are headed by left guard Tommy Comeaux, who also kicks the Greenies extra points. The Green Waves were weak last year, but no Southeastern Conference team scheduled them as a breather for this year. They are young, _and gained valuable experience in that losing season. Auburn can win again, but they will probably enter the game a toss-up.
