New Veteran Bill Provides
Five Adjustment Benefits
By J e a n Erwin
A new bill, the "Veterans Readjustment Act of 1952,"
signed by President Truman J u l y 16, provides benefits for
v e t e r a n s who have served 90 days or m o r e in t h e armed forces
since J u n e 27, 1950.
The n ew l aw provides five benefits which a r e designed to
assist veterans in their return to
civilian life. These benefits include
education and training; loans
for homes, farms and businesses,
unemployment compensation; mus-tering-
out-pay, and job-finding
aid.
Education and training provisions
allow a veteran one and one-half
days of training for each day
in service after the outbreak of
the Korean fighting—regardless
of where the service was performed—
up to a maximum of 36
months.
* * * *. .
HOWEVER, veterans who have
previously trained under earlier
veterans' training laws may get
up to 48 months, minus whatever
time they've already speffift in training
under those'earlier programs.
A veteran may train in any
school or college, on-the-job or
on-the-farm, that is approved by
an appropriate State Approving
Agency and meets other qualifications
of the law. Only one change
of course program is allowed, except
under certain conditions determined
by the Veterans Administration.
Veterans in GI Bill training will
'"receive an education and training
allowance each month from the
government, to meet part of the
expenses of their training and living'
costs. Tuition, fees, books,
supplies, and equipment will not
bejaaifL, by the Government; in-will
have to be paid
aonthly allowance. This
new method of payment differs
from previous procedures. The VA
paid'tuition and other costs directly
to schools, and also paid eligible
veterans a monthly subsistance
allowance.
* * !5
RATES FOR VETERANS in
full-time training in schools and
colleges are $110 a month, if they
have no dependents; $135 if they
have one dependent, and $160 if
they have more than one dependent.
Those in training less. than
full time will receive lower
monthly rates.

event will include two concert
bands, marching band, twirlers,
general chorus, concert choir and

Cuban Student Sees Little Difference
In Latin, United States School Plans
By Doris DeSha
According to Guillermo Maymir, of Havana, Cuba, his
icountry and the United States have-few educational differences.
'
The educational program of Cuba sponsors both public arid
private schools^ although the Cuban schools cover mortf
material and the . -courses are
harder than in 3 our schools. For
example, mechanical engineering
is a five-year course, while the^
one at Auburn is only four years.;
tournament, after losing to Kan^
sas 7-6 in the finals. They cam?
in third, behind Stanford arid;
Kansas, in the swimming meet,
but missed a chance to show potential
power in track (the platoon
includes two varsity competitors)
when both that sport
and touch football were . rained;
out.
• * *
CLOSE scores in the athletic
contests threw the weight of
decision _ to the personnel inspection
and drill results. The Auburn
platoon annexed first place in
drill.and.fell short of the number
one spot in personnel inspection
by .05 point.
The strong showing in the last
two events cinched the victory,
and the 2 o'clock liberty, for the
middies from the Plains.
The liberty, according to the
participating midshipmen, was a
secondary consideration, since the
main thing was to put Auburn on
top. As one of them phrased it,
"We won because part of the War
Eagle had rubbed off on us, and
we had the spirit to win."
About the name—in Cuba Guil-
,lermo means William. The deri-v
vation is Guill or Bill, the name
he goes, by at Auburn.
BILL, WHO is a junior in
mechanical engineering, attended
a high school in New York. He
'disliked that city because of its
tremendous size. and the confus-.
ion. Although New York is known
for its reckless drivers, Bill states
•that it could never-compare with
the situation in Havana.
Southerners are his favorites;
not only in Auburn, but the South
in general.
He decided to come to Auburn
through'the influence Of two Of'
his brother's friends . who grad-.
uated from Auburn. Bill has two'
brothers, one of whom is an engi-'
neering graduate" from the University
of Cuba.
His comment on the dating sit-
•uation at Auburn was "There are
;many pretty girls here, but too'
many boys. I also hate cut-ins. If;
you take a date to a party in
Cuba nobody cuts in, but here. .!"
Bill also, likes the American .girls
because of their natural and unassuming
manner.

Jackie Plant, Once Given No Hope,
Now Has lead In API Summer Musical
By Gay Hogan
For a girl who was told as a second grader that there
was no hope for her because she couldn't even carry a tune,
Jacqueline Plant, pretty Auburn coed from Tallassee who
has the lead in this summer's music department production,
has made quite a bit of progress.
Just graduated from high school
in June, Jackie plans to switch
temporarily to Agnes Scott college
this fall. Despite the fact that she
"just loves Auburn," she is planning
to spend at least her first
year at Agnes Scott with a cousin
who is majoring in piano there.
Eventually, Jackie plans to return
to Auburn to finish her studies in
voice.
* * *
IN HIGH: SCHOOL Jackie was
as interested in newspaper work
as she was • in music, although
neither interest was • neglected.

For four years she worked on the
school paper and in her senior
year was elected associate editor.
She still likes to write occasionally,
and her only objection to newspaper
work is that "the deadline
always comes at the wrong time."
Always busy, Jackie held offices
in the student body, as well as
being accompanist and soloist for
the glee club, and being a member
of the band for three years. Besides
t h e s e accomplishments,
Jackie plays the piano, has found
time to be a representative at
journalism conventions and music
festivals in different parts of the
state, and was in the debate club,
and the dramatic club.
IN THE DRAMATIC club during
during Her senior year, Jackie was
in hef only straight dramatic production.
The "H. M. S. Pinafore"
is her first large musical production.
She is extremely enthusiastic
about the operetta, and very
pleased with her role.
Jackie is one of the few in the
production who has never been
cast in the operetta previously.
Most~ of the others have at one
time or another been in high school
presentations of the "H. M. S.
Jackie Plant
Pinafore." • ;
JACKIE HAS received much of
her singing experience right here
in Auburn as a member of the
junior choir of the Baptist church:
Coming from a musical family has
naturally been an asset to Jackie,
and her family has encouraged her
in musical interests. She was
given every opportunity for improvement
that her family could
provide. ,
Overwhelmed by the beautiful
Anges Scott campus, Jackie is
looking forward to college . life
there, but' she also eagerly anticipates
returning to Auburn to complete
her music studies.

We've Got Something At Auburn' Little Man On Campus by Bibler
• It would be a good idea, we feel, if
every Auburn student would consider himself
a public relations agent for API.
Then, between quarters, students might
visit their respective high schools and solicit
upper-classmen there to come to Auburn.
Auburn students represent every
county in Alabama, plus many in other
states, and several towns and cities in each '
county: Thus, there is the possibility of
hundreds of hometown high schools being
"canvassed" for new API students by Auburn
students.
We've gof something here at Auburn
that prospective college students all over
the nation, the world, should know about.
The intangible spirit of the Plains; the
campus-wide feeling that every student,
every faculty member, every college employee,
is an integral part of a great institution;
the captivating impulse that projects
"War Eagles" into the winds as loudly
in defeat as in victory; the fascinating
spirit of oneness that becomes more and
more intensified with each new student;
these constitute the reason why an Auburn
student can proudly, yet humbly say,
"We've got something at Auburn!"
Why not visii the old hometown alma
mater between quarters, a n d convince
some of the seniors there that Auburn is
THE College? Auburn is a great school,
an evergrowing one. We can enable it
to grow even faster and bigger as public
relations agents in our hometowns.
A Surprise Award For The Alumnews
We were pleased to read last week that
The Auburn Alumnews, API alumni publication,
had been selected for a Surprise
Award at the annual meeting of the American
Alumni Council. The award was
.made on the basis of "notable editorial
achievement," primarily in the recent special
edition devoted to informing high
school students~of the pertinent facts about
Auburn.
Alumnews Editor Ed Crawford, ever
seeking ways to improve the monthly publication,
has done an excellent job of editing
the paper since he was appointed its
chief in November, 1951. A former editor
of The Plainsman, Crawford graduated
from Auburn in 1951.
A Great Athlete
Hail the conquering hero!
Few Auburnites ever spread the fame
of the Plains all over the world, but-discus
hurler Jim Dillion is doing his part to
get the magic name of Auburn before
peoples from all parts of the earth.
In heaving the circular platter 174 feet
9 inches last week, the sinewy giant placed
third among the Olympic discus competitors,,
a position that was three notches
higher than the good-natured Plainsman
had been expected to place.
Auburn should be mighty proud of Jim
Dillion for winning a post on the American
Olympic team, not to mention the fighting
spirit he displayed, in climbing almost to
the top after beirfg rated a sixth place
choice.
Jim Dillion is a great athlete, a man of
whom Auburn sons and daughters may always
be proud.
"He's actually a big help—Professor Snarf lets him grade
all of his papers."

LETTERS POLICY: All letters to the editor must be signed by the

Let's Have Ike Or Stevenson
We, hope that the API Lecture and
Concert. Committee.will make the necessary
arrangements in order to have either
Eisenhower or Governor Stevenson, or
both, speak on the Auburn campus sometime
this fall.
Perhaps it would be a good idea* to
contact the campaign managers of the two
nominees right away, as both men will
probably have quite a rigid schedule diu>
ing the two morrths preceeding the election.
Many are of the opinion that the November
election willcreate a great deal of
interest, and students would - doubtless
pack the activities building ta hear Jke or
his Demo opponent, Adlai.
A Consistently Bitter Columnist
We are sick and tired of John Temple
Graves' method of columnizing. ' In his
editorial space captioned "This Morning,"
the Birmingham Post-Herald's' daily columnist
is almost consistently beefing about
something.
A question, fellow journalist Graves:
Doesn't it get mighty tiresome being
"down" on the world all the time? Why,
and this we suggest, don't you try looking
at the bright side once in a while? Destructive
criticism is the easy way out.
P. 0 . Box 88
Many have questioned us concerning
how contributions can be made to the
"Bruce J. Greenhill Scholarship Fund," a
fund being formed at present to provide
an annual scholarship for some deserving
journalism student.
Contributions should be addressed to
. the "Bruce J. Greenhill Scholarship Fund,"
P.O. Box 88 in Auburn. Again we urge
that students, faculty members and other
interested persons pitch in and help establish
this award. Any amount would be
kindly received, we feel sure, by Blue Key
Hcnor Society,-1 sponsor of the drive.

Dear Editor:
I realize that pre-registration
takes up a good deal of time, but
classes do go on while students are
registering so not too much time is
lost. We will have a lapse" of about
six days after we get back to school
before classes start. We will have
nothing particular to.do but register;
I am rather certain that the
hot, tired summer school students
had much rather pre-register and
spend those six days at home resting
than . going through from five
to eight long lines.
Also, with the new section of
Magnolia ready for occupancy and
the- new girls' dormitories scheduled
for completion there should be
several hundred more students
than usual coming to Auburn this
fall. As we all know, registration
without all the students that can
pre-register and without several
hundred new students, is a mess.
Some of the confusion caused by
pre-registration for the summer
quarter was caused by several of
the scheduled courses being dropped
and therefore causing changes
in registration. This confusion was
probably one reason the Council
of Deans voted not to have pre-registration
for the fall quarter. I
do not believe there will be the
trouble of- insufficient numbers of
students so that courses will have
to be dropped in large numbers.
True, dropping courses causes confusion,
but there is confusion anyway;
now there will be more confusion
than, ever with more stu- "
dents registering; longer lines, and
many schedule changes due to
courses being closed out because
of being filled.

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, July 30, 1952
By John Raines
Congratulations Extended To Jim Dill ion;
Bilr Turnbeaughln School, Weighing 27Q
Congratulations are in order for Auburn's Athlete of the
year, Jim Billion, who carried Auburn's name before the
world with honor. Dillion captured third place in the Olympic
discus throw. Big Jim will arrive back at the Plains
August 11. It is our hope that he will be met with the welcome
that he deserves, and there is no doubt in our minds
but that he will.
* * * «
WE HEAR THAT Bill Turnbeaugh, Auburn's leading
tackle candidate, reported for the second six weeks of the
summer session. According to Coach Shtig Jordan, he weighs
in at 270 pounds. This is considerably over
weight for Big Bill, but Jordan said that if
Bill can maneuver well at this weight, he
will let him remain that size.
Bill, incidentally, is an Auburn candidate
\jov All-America honors this year. He was
on the third AU-SEC team last year, and
was considered by many to be good, enough
for All-America. He was the stalwart in
Auburn's line. But, the peculiarity of the
situation: is that Bill is practically blind.
Fans will be hearing quite a bit this fall a
slogan like'this—"Hear 'em,-feel 'em and
grab 'em." That's the tag the press has stijck
on Bill, and one that he doesn't mind.
* * * *
WE WERE LOOKING through the* record books and we
note that Auburn's "Automatic Joe" Davis led the
entire nation in percentage extra point kicking last fall. Joe
put 23 of the 26 pigskins he kicked right through the up-rights
for an average of 92 per cent. In doing this he tied acoi>
ference record in kicking 17 consecutive extra points.

TIGER BRIEFS . . . . We hear that Bill Beckwith, sports
publicist, for API, was recently'hospitalized four days with
a spinal operation. . . . Buck Bradberry, Auburn backfield
coach, is getting married to Mary "Butch" Palmer, Opelika,
on August 6. . . . Auburn football fans will have a chance
to see not one, but two brother combinations' on the field
this fall. Don and George Rogers, Birmingham will fight for
defensive posts at tackle, while ^Ted and Joe Neura, Ohio,
will race for the offensive posts at tackle. .

Auburn Alumni
Show '52 Promise
Auburn alumni who have gained
entrance through the players' gates
in the major leagues have begun
to show signs of promise this season.
Billy Hitchcock, Auburn football
and baseball great ^in 1937,
led the Philadelphia Athletics at
bat in Sunday's game with the Detroit
Tigers. Hitchcock banged out
three hits in as many times at bat
in the first game which" the A's
finally won. In the second game
which ended in a-3-3 tie, he gained
two more bingles. Hitchcock is
having one of his best seasons this
year. .
Williard Nixon, who pitched for
the Plainsmen in 1948, came up
with a mediocre season last year.
However, in many games he was
superb in relief roles. This year
Nixon seemed doomed to the same
kind of season, but Manager Lou
Boudreau has come up with a new
job for him, and he pays off. In
Sunday's game between the Red
Sox and the Tigers, Boudreau sent
him to the plate as a pinch-hitter,
and Nixon responded with a sharp
double into center field. .The Red
Sox won in extra innings, to go
into second place in the American
League race.
Gus Niahos, who played freshman
and sophomore baseball at
Auburn, shows signs of becoming
an ace catcher for the Red Sox.
Niahos was one of the White Sox'
regular catchers last year.

Is Jim Dillion the greatest athlete in Auburn's history?
That question is a predominent one in-the minds of the Tiger
football coaches, as the opening.of fall,practice draws nearer.
If Dillion is, then Auburn fans-are in for the Bronko Nagurski
(All-America) type fullback, since big Jim will get his initial
test at that position in September.
One of the bright facts-concerning
his football career is that Dil
lion is eligible for three years of
SEC competition. -
Fresh frorrunlacing third in the
discus event at Helsinki,' Finland,
Dillion is du^ back in the
States August 11, arid will report
for football practice September
1.
Howard
The greatness of the 225^pound
Ghioan has been discussed by
everyone who has seen him. As
a freshman in 1950, he was one
of the best looking end prospects
to arrive in many a moon,, arid
climaxed his frosh year by blocking
three kicks in the Georgia
freshman game, recovering one of
the kicks, and catching the touchdown
pass that gave Auburn a
6-0 victory.
; * * *
WHEN DILLION reports, he
will have his job cut out for him.

when he sparked
the A-Day
game with 92
y a r d s in 11
rushes including
two touchdowns.
Being the aggressive and determined
type, Dillion Will have to
be a sensation to move Howard.
Big Jim's disadvantage is the'
lack of experience as a gridder,
having played no high school
football and only six weeks of
service ball.
* * *
. CHARLES HAT AWAY also
stands in the way of Dillion, being
transferred from righthalf to
fullback in the spring. He was the
team's second leading ground-gainer
last year at righthalf.
Dillion could move any one as
a linebacker and stands a much
better chance there than any
place. The linebacking team of
Dillion and Jack Locklear might
answer many of the 1951 needs.
Last fall the coaches had the
pleasant surprise of Jiavihg Homer
Williams finish second in the
S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference's
ground-gaining department •with
731 yards. During mid-season
Williams suffered a back injury
and Howard answered the need.!
Tin Howard's first game of the
year,, the 21-0 Tulane, win, .the
lanky ..blond . was the leading
ground-gainer of the day for both
teams with 78 yards in 14 rushes
and .one touchdown. Subbing for
the remainder of the year for
Williams, Howard finished third

with 221 yards, just 29 yards shy

^picked- up considerably
-during
the spring, and "Dillion has
always been considered a fast
man for his size. • ,
"We have a great deal of confidence
in Howard," Jordan said
early this week. "Hataway was
out of position last fall because
we needed him at righthalf, and
Dillion is such a natural that we
feel he could play any position
on the team."

FEW COACHES have made
such a statement about one of
their football prospects before
they've seen him in action, but
Jordan studied t h e freshman
films of Dillion and came to this
quick conclusion of his great natural
ability.

Waller is thrilled- over :havihg
Dillion in the backfield and feels
that he will have the power -needed
on the goal lines.
FRESHMEN could give some!
aid, but Waller hesitates to say
how much. Ray Mercer, the outstanding
back in Georgia in 1951,
went through spring training and
was quick to -pick up the college
ways. Still a year or two away,.
Mercer will possibly see limited
service at fullback, but will find
it rugged with Howard, Hataway,
and Dillion in front of him.
Incoming frosh with outstanding
prep backgrounds are boys
like Billy Whitten of Birming^
ham; Chief Ben Lightfoot of Lu-
Yerne, and Billy HicKs of Huey-town.

Hargrove, Bratkowski To Lead Georgia
In Renewal Of Old Southern Rivalry
1 By John Raines
One of the Southeastern Conference's best games this fall
will be played in Columbus, Ga., when two of the "up-set-cingest"
teams in the conference meet. That's What any football
follower will think about the Auburn-Georgia game,
"which" has produced more up-sets than gamblers would care
•io remember.
Rare is the Auburn or Georgia
fan who does not remember, or
' lias not been told of that glorious
-f day in 1942 when the Tigers jour-
» Keyed to Columbus Ja pose as
• another doormat for the cham-
)- pionship bound Bulldogs. But it
was the Tigers who stopped the
• Georgians' win streak at 14 and
*• handed them their only defeat
: »f the season.
* * *
RARER is the War Eagler who
• • does not remember that day in
•'. 1950 when the worst team Auburn
ever fielded scored a major
upset by holding the powerful
1 Bulldogs to a 2-point win. Neither
' can they forget that day last fall
•*vhen the favored Tigers came
• back from Columbus with the
' • "worst defeat of the season.
However, that is- all history
"»ow, and this year it will be a
; new game with new faces and
I hopes for a better outlook. Georgia
holds a slight edge over the-
1 Plainsmen in the series that be-
. gan in the last century, but every
game has been awaited with great
anticipation by both forces.
* * *
WALLY BUTTS w i l l begin his
• 14th season at the helm of the
Georgia team this year, and his
24th as a coach. Butts is consid-
• ei'ed a dean of football coaches,
and the final authority on "foot-ballology"
as far as Georgians
• aire concerned. The Bulldogs have
•enjoyed their best teams during
»•-Butts' tenure. He came there in
^9.39 and since then they have
?• participated in seven bowl games
••• including the Sugar, Rose and
two Orange bowl games. They
have won three SEC champion-
. ships, and have won less than half
their scheduled games only twice.
Last year the Bulldogs finished
10th in the conference, win-
: riing "two .and losing four, but
• evened the score by taking three
• of their four non-conference
games.
* * *
GEORGIA will be minus Zippy
Morocco and Dick Raber this fall,
but Lauren Hargrove and Zeke
Bratkowski wilLbe back to haunt
• opposing teams. It was these two
Who joined forces to rout Auburn
last year. Hargrove rushed 167
yards in pushing the Tigers toward
their own goal, while Raber
nmbled over from the 2-yard line
•fchj-ee times, and Morocco scored
Yrom the 6 and 12. Hargrove
made long runs of 14, 20, 22, and
79 yards. He is a senior.
