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.

'Big Sam' Trademarks API Since 1899
By Hilda Hargrove
The four-faced timepiece that Auburnites fondly call .'Big
Sam' has tolled .more than three and a half million times
since the day it first boomed in 1899. 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. Toller of

Sports, Spanish Occupy Latins
By Gay Hogan
Spanish flows freely these days around the softball dia­mond
and volleyball and tennis courts, as the members of
the Latin American Club practice for scheduled games.
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

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

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.
In September, 1951, it was
placed in the Office of Student
Affairs so that now it is available
for all students.

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.

'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-,

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

Dear Editor,
It was with much regret that I
read of the unnecessary pain which
Solomon Z. Zxyquirk, the hero of
Fred Nichols so-called column of
last week, suffered because of his
lack of knowledge of the alphabet.
Had he only known that x preced­ed
w in the series, all thought of
committing suicide would have
immediately vanished.
Even if Zxyquirk was unaware
of the way in which the alphabet
runs, his biographer, Nichols,
might well have noticed his error.
Oh well, birds of a feather.
Yours truly,
Larry Phillips

Tips
By John Raines
Auburn Athletes Dominate Headlines;
Woiford Team Not To Be Sneezed At
Sports are light around API during the summer quarter,
but Auburn Sportsmen continue to take the headlines. 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

1952 Centers Will Be Led
By Locklear, Baker, Bruce
Sophomore Jack Locklear Seems Ready
To Threaten Vets Bruce# Baker At Pivot
By Bill Beckwith
Auburn's center position is going to be one of the most
ihotly contested spots on the football team this fall. 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-

Boyleston is still a year away,

future. As a freshman, he weighed

says, "but one thing is for certain,

Auburn Faces Tulane Green Wave
At Half-Way Point Of Grid Season
By John Raines
Auburn will begin the second half of the 1952 grid season
against the Green Wave of Tulane, which will be operating
under new head coach "Bear" Wolf, formerly head coach at
the University of Florida.
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.

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

WOLF'S TACKLES are tough,'
with Mike Housepian and Patrick
Hazel, back for another year.
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.
