Maritime News Rough Sailing For Tech Weather Report: Touchdown Showers On Wofford TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOL. 79 8 Pages FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1952 ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA Number 11 Stealing Ac Books Not Representative Of True API Students - By War Eagle I was rather disturbed this week when I learned that many student activities books had been stolen from Auburn students, by other students. Such news is always displeasing, especially when I recall the respect for the individual that for decades Auburn students have upheld. And certainly that respect for the rights of others is as much an integral part of the Auburn spirit as anything. I don't like to see even a small number of "War Eagle" sons and daughters stoop to such low behavior as that of a common thief. \i anything/ i s unwanted at Auburn, it is a disrespecter of human rights. A true Auburn student is one who believes in individual rights, fairness, honesty, courtesy, and all the glorious traditions that have been a dynamic part of API since its birth. , Qualification Deadline Approaches For Miss Homecoming, School Posts By JoAnne Lucci All persons, wishing to qualify as candidates for API's top school officer posts and freshman senate seats must file their declaration of intention by 4 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the student government office. The qualifications board will meet at 8:30 that night, according to Student Body Presi dent Jimmy Baird. Forms for the declaration are available at the office. "dEADLINE for the nominations of "Miss Homecoming" candidates, who will be elected at the same time as the officers, is at the same time," Baird stated. Every organisation recognized by the student senate is eligible to sponsor a coed for the honor as well ,as each dormitory, fraternity, and sorority. Date of the preliminary judging for "Miss Homecoming" has not yet been set, Baird said. QUALIFICATIONS for all student government positions at stake in the fall election, as well, as the "Miss Homecoming" balloting may be found in the student body constitution in the Tiger Cub. The qualification board is made up of Baird, Don Johnson, vice-president of the student body; Stuart Leach, president pro tern of the senate, and Jack Appleby, superintendent of political affairs. For the first time, balloting, which will take place October 30, will select officers on a school rather than a class basis. • ODK Bares Plans For Mock Ballot On National Issues V Four voting booths will be set up on the campus by Omicron Delta Kappa to hold a mock presidential election on Tuesday, Oct. 28. The booths will be at Vet Hill, Ag Hill, Main Gate and Ramsay Engineering Hall, the men's honorary society announced. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and polling lists will be used to insure the accuracy of the vote. ODK urges all students to participate, regardless of whether they are eligible to vote in the national presidential election. The purpose of the mock ballot, according to ODK, is to stimulate interest in the national campaign. The balloting is strictly unofficial, and is in no way intended to represent or reflect the opinion of the college, ODK, or anyone con nected with these groups. Plainsmen Ruled Three-Touchdown Favorites On Eve Of Home Opener With Wofford Terriers 'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS' 5*i// Going Up— It's great to see this quarter's enrollment still climbing. Figures as of yesterday were 6,395 only five short of an even 6,400.' I'm hoping that that we'll reach that mark, or even more. But whatever the final result is, I believe we'll all be pleased to see that Auburn has had such a tremendous increase, when many other colleges have suffered a decrease of 10 per cent or more. * * * Squires are to be commended for the fine "Hey Day" Monday. It is good to see students cooperating in an effort to promote and strengthen friendliness on the campus. But really, a "Hey Day" shouldn't be necessary to remind students to speak to each other. The purpose of the day is valid, but we hope that someday Auburn students will keep the friendly spirit of API alive, without having to be reminded with a "Hey Day" every quarter. Pep Rally Tonight! . That one big night in the week is close at, hand again. Tonight will be pep rally time in the student ac building, and I wouldn't miss it for anything. I'll be listening for the loudest yells of the quarter to erupt tonight, and I've got a feeling in my right wing that Auburn's grid team is going to whack the daylights out of Wofford tomorrow. Adair Lists Nomination Procedure For ODK-Glom Beauty Candidates - Nomination -deadline for the Omicron Delta Kappa- Glomerata Beauty Ball contestants has been set for Thursday Oct. 21, according to Steve Adair, Montgomery, ODK chairman. Every recognized organization on the campus is eligible to sponsor a candidate, Adair said. To enter, girls must be undergraduates currently enrolled at API. No girl can represent more than one organization. NOMINATIONS may be mailed to ODK in care of the student government office, or turned in to Adair at the Omega Tau Sigma house, or to Denny Ray at the Phi Kappa Tau house. ODK announced that this year no photograph of the candidates will be necessary. Preliminary judging will be held in the Social Center on October 28. A panel of five judges THE INTERIOR decorating scheme of the new women's dorms is very nice. If you have doubts, check the above example. She's Nancy Entrekin, sophomore in dramatics from Columbus, Ga. (API Photo by Les King.) will be named at a later date, Adair said. Nominations must be turned in on a nomination blank made out as follows: "We, (name of organization), nominate (name of candidate) for ODK-Glomerata beauty. Signed by president of organization. • . I accept the nomination. Signed by the candidate." Names of the eight finalists, who will be featured in the beauty section of the Glome rata, will be announced at the Beauty Ball on Nov. 22. Plans Become Reality As Draughon Approves New Doctorate Program API President Kalph B. Draughon's official approval of a program of doctoral study at Auburn, which was issued on September 25, marked the beginning of an academic improve, ment which has been in the planning stage for more than two years. Interested Students Urged To Attend Plainsman Staff Meeting All students interested in working on The Plainsman are urged to attend a staff meeting Monday, Oct. 13, at 4 p.m. in The Plainsman office on Tich-enor Avenue. Editor Walter Albritton states that many vacancies exist on both the editorial and business staffs, and that "any student interested in working on the paper will be. given a chance. The Plainsman can use students who are willing to work, whether or not they've, had any previous experience." The newspaper office is located in the Lee County Bulletin Building on Tichenor Avenue, near the post office. Auburn is now in a position to offer Ph.D. degrees in four fields —animal husbandry and nutrition, zoology, school administration, and mathematics. Dr. Fred Allison, dean of the School of Graduate Studies, called the beginning of the program "An historic moment in the academic growth of API." THE DOCTORATE program has been under consideration by various f a c u l t y committees, working under Dean of Faculties M. C. Huntley, for more than two years. These groups studied problems concerning library facilities, faculty, and housing for the program. On May 27, 1952, the pian was recommended for the institution by the Council of Deans, and the Board of Trustees, at their annual meeting on June 2, gave its approval. WITH THE stage thus set for the beginning of actual work on the program, Dean Allison appointed a steering committee. Members of the committee were drawn from the four departments involved in the program and from others which may be approved for doctoral study in the future. The duties of the committee include keeping the level of doctorate work on a competitive plane with the best graduate schools in the country. Committee members are Dr. Ruth Albrecht, home economics; Dr. C. P. Anson, economics; Dr. W. L. Miller, economics; Dr. R. W. Engel, animal husbandry; Dr. M. C. McMillan, history; Dr. W. V. Parker, mathematics; Dr.' W. R. Patrick, English; Dr. H. H. Punke, education; Dr. C. R. Saunders, chemistry; Dr. Raymond H. White, education, and Mrs. Ruth Brittin, assistant to the graduate dean. AS TO FUTURE plans for the program, Dr. Allison stated that t h e departments of physics, chemistry, and poultry husbandry are likely to qualify for doctorate study within a reasonable length of time. Some other departments are building staffs and acquiring facilities, and could be eligible for consideration in a few years. H.C Wang Added To Mathematics Staff As Research Prof Dr. H. C. Wang recently joined the API faculty as research professor in mathematics. He 'will divide his time between teaching and research work. Doctor Wang comes to Auburn from Princeton University where he spent a year working for the Institute for Advanced Study. Prior to this, he taught for two years' at Louisiana State University and one summer at Tulane University. He received his1 B.A. degree from the National Southwest Associated University, Kunming, China, and his Ph.D. degree from Manchester University, Manchester, England. Adams To Head Textile Department Appointment of Cleveland L. Adams as head of the API department of textile technology was announced this week by Dean J. E. Hannum of the School of Engineering. Adams, who graduated from API in 1932, is widely known in the textile field. For the past nine years he has been associated with the West Point Manufacturing Co., most recently with the Lanett Division where he was technical director. Before going to Lanett, he was head of the processing department of the research division of the company. After finishing at API, Adams studied at Tulane University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He served as Research Cotton Technologist with the Southern Regional Research Lab- Whip Wofford Rally Scheduled Tonight A tremendous pep rally has been scheduled for 7:15 tonight to get ready for Auburn's first home game of the season, according to Dennis Calhoun, h e ad cheerleader. The "Wallop Wofford" rally will begin with a parade which will form" at Ross Square and march through town led by the Auburn Band. The parade will disband at the student activities building for the pep rally and dance. Head Coach "Shug" Jordan, one of his assistants, team captain Lee Hayley and co-captain Bill Mc- Murry will speak at the rally, Calhoun said. THE DANCE, with music by the Auburn Knights, will be informal. "Next on the schedule is the freshman pa jama parade and Wreck Tech rally," Calhoun said, "which will be Thursday, Oct. 16. It will also form at Ross Square, at 4 p.m." All freshmen boys are to dress in their gaudiest pajamas for the parade, and a prize will be awarded the group with the most original theme. Fraternity groups are to be accompanied by two upper classmen, and all dormitory groups and independents are to participate. The parade will disband at the stadium, where a "Wreck Tech" pep rally will be held, Calhoun said. Dudley Spence To Direct Auburn T In Hare Stadium Feature At 2 p.m. By Dave "Foots" Laney Plainsman Sports Editor The Auburn Plainsmen open a three-game home schedule tomorrow when they meet a perennially scrappy Wofford College eleven in Cliff Hare Stadium at 2 p.m. Defeated by highly ranked Maryland and Ole Miss during the last fortnight, Auburn is favored to rebound with a three-touchdown 1 i I victory over the Carolinians. Vince Dooley, injured in the first quarter of the Ole Miss contest, will watch the game from the sidelines along with Jackie Creel, Bobby Freeman, and Jim Lofton who are also indisposed. Replacing Dooley at quarterback is Dudley Spence, the McComb, Miss., senior. Jack Beeler, last year's director of the Terriers' single wing formation, is missing from Coach Phil Dickens' squad because of graduation; however press , reports say tailback Jimmy Brock has ably replaced Beeler in the Terrier backfield. > Drives Committee Starts Campus Safety Effort A safety drive is now in progress on the Auburn campus, it was announced today by Tom Caldwell, superintendent of all campus, drives. The idea for the campaign was the results of a Drives Committee meeting held last Wednesday "at 5 p.m. As the first project to put the safety crusade in full swing, the committee urges all students migrating to Atlanta for the Auburn" Georgia Tech clash to drive carefully to and from the game.' Program By Trio Slated For Langdon The Auburn Trio, composed of Edgar Glyde, violinist; Dorothy Clyde, cellist; and William Tamb-lyn, pianist, will be presented by the music department in its first fall performance on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon Hall. The Trio will be assisted by Charles A. Bentley, clarinetist, a member of the API music faculty. The program consists of two compositions. Admission is free and the public is invited. The first work to be played will be the "Trio in D Minor" by Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn wrote only two pianoforte trios, and these are generally considered to be his finest efforts in the realm of chamber music. The second work, "Quartet in C Minor," by Faure was written in 1879, and was the first of several chamber music compositions. Faure here displays his famous lyricism I to which is joined a degree of power and imagination not always present in this composer. The three artists comprising the Trio and Bentley are well-known to Auburn music followers. Dorothy Glyde, Canadian-born cellist, studied in Vancouver, B.C., and in Toronto, Canada. She-received her training degree from Trinity College, London, and has played extensively in the U. S. and Canada. She is currently first cellist with the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra. Edgar Glyde studied violin, violincello, and piano in England. Coming to Canada in 1929, he played in the Vancouver Symphony. Later he joined the Hart House String Quartet as violinist and during one of the American | tours he played at Auburn. Student Leaders Plan For Friendly Tech Grid Game By Tom Duke Student leaders from Georgia Tech and Auburn met here Monday to draw up suggestions that might further friendly relations between the two schools at the football game in Atlanta October 18. • Since 1948, groups from Tech and Auburn have met for New Debators Needed All Auburn students interested in debating are urged to meet with the API Debate Team on Monday night at 7:30 in Sam-ford Hall. William S. Smith, recently appointed debate coach, is planning a road trip for the team in the near future. pre-game parleys on each campus. Plans were made to keep student conduct at each year's football game up to gentlemanlike standards. The conference began at 4 p.m. with a short business meeting in Magnolia Hall, followed by a tour of the API campus, and concluded with a banquet that night in the Pitts Hotel. ' JIM BAIRD, s t u d e n t body president, urges full cooperation of Auburn students in maintain-taining good relations with Tech. "Acts of rowdyism, vandalism and the stealing of rat caps were not good publicity for either school in recent years, and I hope that Auburn students will bear that in mind this year, and act accordingly, in a sportsmanlike manner," Baird said. "In the interest of both student bodies, I sincerely'hope that Auburn students will conduct themselves in a manner that will bring credit rather than" discredit to our school," he concluded. On the recommendation of the group of student leaders, the following precautions a r e being taken by the Auburn-Tech Better Relations Committee to prevent or if necessary to control any misunderstanding between the students of both schools: » 1. Paper cups will replace coke bottles in the stadium if possible. 2. Members of the Ramblin' Wreck Club and Blue Key, will patrol Techwood Drive and other areas adjoining the stadium prior to and after the game. 3. Tech freshmen will keep rat caps in their pockets before and after the game. Auburn freshmen are asked not to wear their rat caps. 4. Both school bands will remain in the stadium until the crowd has disappeared. 5. School papers will exchange features and editorials, and copies of both papers will be distributed on both campuses. 6. Auburn fans attending the game* are urged to park in the lot between the Georgia Tech Textile Building and the new architecture building. 7. Tech freshmen will escort the team off the field. 8. Students are urged to cooperate by not throwing articles of any kind during the game. 9. Violators of gentlemanlike conduct will be punished by the Tech student government and the Auburn Disciplinary Committee. Admission to the Auburn- Georgia Freshman football game today may be gained free by presentation of the Student Activity Book, ticket No. 11. Student tickets for both the Auburn-Wofford game tomorrow and the Auburn-Georgia Tech game next week in Atlanta go off sale today at 4:30 p.m. AUBURN IS depending primarily upon its behemoth line which was effective in slowing the strong running attacks of Ole Miss a n d . Maryland. Anchored by tackles Bill Turnbeaugh and Sam Hanks, the defensive wall averages 219 pounds, end to end. In Jack Abel, Wofford has one of the South's finer ends. A Little- All-America candidate, Abel has been a thorn in the Plainsmen's side for the last two years. Capt. Bob McLellan, the plunging fullback who teamed with Beeler to upset Auburn 19-14 in 1950, returns with Alt.-Capt. Eli Sanders, wingback, to give Wofford a formidable offensive. Earlier in the week Coach Shug Jordan indicated that he would use his reserves freely if possible in oider to rest the regulars for the upcoming Atlanta struggle with Georgia Tech. Probably included on this list are Fob James, Ed Newby, Ray Mercer, Charles Littles, M. L. Brackett, and Joe Davis. Tomorrow's game is fourth in the Auburn-Wofford series, the first being played in 1930, with the score favoring Auburn 38-6. Wofford won in 1950, and last year the Plainsmen triumphed 30-14.

The blue-eyed brownette was chosen from among 61 cont e s t a n t s who spent three days in Birmingham1 attending luncheons and dances and being interviewed by a panel of five* judges. They appeared before the judges in costumes ranging from evening dresses to bathing suits and modeled suits of winter cotton fabric. BEING CHOSEN as alternate to Alice Corr of Selma, 1953 Maid of Cotton, is not Elizabeth's only claim to fame. The charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gregory of Auburn has received considerable recognition as the only coed majoring in animal husbandry at Auburn. When asked why she selected this major, Lriz smiled and replied, "I love animals and my father is a specialist in livestock marketing at API, so my choice isn't as unusual as it may seem." Upon graduation, E l i z a b e t h hopes to work w i t h a cattle breeding publication s u c h as Shorthorn World. A member of Kappa Delta sorority, she is minoring in journalism. Among her hobbies, Liz names swimming, horseback riding, and cattle judging. "Of course the judges asked me if I had ever picked cotton," said Liz, "and I was happy to announce that I had not only picked cotton, but also planted and dusted the king of Southern crops." Her winning formula, was to "keep smiling and carry on intelligent conversations w i th the judges." The Alabama Cotton Promotion Committee presented a $200 check and a large bouquet of white roses to Elizabeth. Alice Corr received a $500 check from The Birmingham News and The Birmingham Post-Herald and will also receive a $1,000 everglaze cotton gown. API WAS well represented at the state Maid of Cotton contest with more than a dozen Auburn coeds as contestants sponsored by their respective counties. Catherine Bailey, of Anniston, the 1952 Maid of Cotton and an Auburn student, crowned Miss Corr, the 1953 Maid, at the fairground ceremonies. Miss Gregory represented Lee "Represents education that continues," says GEORGE GALLUP Founder of the American Institute of Ptfblic Opinion; formerly Professor, Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia U. "A serious weakness of the American educational system is the missing link between what we are taught in school and what we learn after leaving school. The Reader's Digest represents education that continues 1 It arouses and satisfies keen interest in the vital issues of the day and in varied fields of lasting knowledge." County, having won the county contest in May, and Miss Corr represented Dallas County. The winner and the alternate are both 5 feet 7 % inches tall and weigh around 120 pounds. The Alabama Maid of Cotton contest is sponsored by the Alabama Cotton Promotions Committee, made up of representatives from the Alabama State Farm Bureau Federation, the Alabama State Fair Authority, and various groups from the cotton industry in the state. First Fall Meeting Of College FFA Group Planned For Tuesday Agriculture students and others interested are invited to attend the first fall meeting of the college FFA chapter, which is to be held Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Thach Auditorium, at 7 p.m. Students are urged to take advantage of the various activities offered by the collegiate Future Farmers chapter.

Lincoln Arc Welding Foudation for a paper he wrote on machine design.'' Ward's design of a 50-ton hydraulic press was previously accepted in his engineering drawing and design class at API. The foundation makes awards to students from a wide range of colleges and universities on the basis of significant contributions in machine designing. The purpose of the foundation is to encourage and stimulate scientific and engineering study as a boon to future progress. Sears Foundation Honors Frosli Award Winners New scholarship winners in agriculture and home economics were honored by the Sears, Roebuck Foundation at a dinner in the private dining room of Magnolia Hall Thursday night, Oct. 9. Previous winners of Sears scholarships who are now 'in school at API also attended the dinner. The Auburn Chapter of Young Democrats h e a r d Montgomery Attorney Truman Hobbs say Tuesday night that "the Republicans have demonstrated there are few blessings to be expected from a 'do nothing' policy." At a meeting in Broun Hall auditorium the Young Democrats elected officers, named committees and mapped strategy in behalf of the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket. Named president of the group was Lester Ford, API student in chemical engineering; vice-president, Finis St. John, API student in pre-law; s e c r e t a r y, Mrs. Harold Klontz; treasurer, Homer Wright, Jr. Hobbs, son of the late Congressman Sam Hobbs and prominent young attorney, said, "The voters of this country are being assailed with the startlingly new proposition, 'It's time for a change.' If anything has shown more resistance to change than this moth eaten slogan which the Republicans have been chanting for four presidential elections— and I, suspect the Democrats were chanting it before that—I am ignorant of it. But disregarding this inconsistency, the slogan has other infirmities that resulted if not from the slogan's age, at least from the age in which the slogan ia uttered." "The political crepe hangers are touring the country again chanting the same song' of national destruction," said Hobbs. "We have all heard it before only the tempo has increased with the number of years the Republicans have been out of office. They tell us the nation, is economically bankrupt, that our foreign policy is Communist inspired, and that the moral fibre of our youth is gone." ' "The same people were also telling us that grass would grow in the streets if the Democrats were elected in '32, and their prophecy .then is just as false as their appraisal of the present. "What are the facts that rebuilt this gloomy and false appraisal of the present. The facts are that the Democratic Party has shaped the policies of this nation through a twenty year period as violent and as changing as any in history. Totalitarian tyrannies have replaced Democratic governments in many parts of the world and the forces that generated those changes were world-wide in sweep. But this nation c o n t a i n ed those forces within the .framework of our Constitutional government preserving the civil and political liberties of the individual and achieving more economic security for more of our citizens than has ever been achieved in any country at any time. This is a stupendous achievement, and no one can quarrel with us when we say this has been achieved under twenty years of Democratic administration. We don't contend the Democratic Party has not made mistakes, nor do we say that it will not make others in the future, because the only way to avoid all error—except the error of doing nothing—is to do nothing. Republicans demonstrated there are few blessings to be expected from such a 'do nothing' policy." Glyde Completes Conductors' Course Edgar Glyde of Auburn, conductor, Montgomery Symphony, was one of 35 symphony orchestra conductors who completed the five-day conductors training program with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The conductors, came from all over the United. States, from small and medium size towns, to Philadelphia in the inauguration of this unique educational plan sponsored 3—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, Oct. 10, 1952 by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra League. The conductors were briefed in the lobby of historic Academy of Music by Harl McDonald, Philadelphia Orchestra manager, and the training program was outlined by Ormandy. After witnessing the Philadelphia Orchestra's first rehearsal of the 1952-53 season, the group of maestros were the guests of the Orchestra at a luncheon in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Addressing the group Ormandy told them that they represented the ones who will take over important podiums when Ormandy's generation stepped down. Activities included "guest conducting" of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and talks by music critics Virgil Thompson, of the New York Herald Tribune, Olin Downes, of the New York Times, and Mrs. Helen Thompson, executive secretary of the Symphony League. at 70me DIAMONDS tyati ccutt "tai£'quality wfo # cttftMtOMcL\ 0000 Quality is either there or it isn't!

[ Let's Be Sportsmen, Gentlemen Though the game with Wofford is yet to be played, many students have probably already made plans to attend the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta next Saturday. Other pre-game preparations were outlined this week when student leaders from both Tech arid Auburn" met to discuss different ways in which sportsmanlike conduct might be maintained at the game. The suggestions of the group will be publicized at both schools, and are printed on the first page of this week's Plainsman. The reason for the meeting grew out of an unfortunate brawl that took place four years ago, after a rather high-spirited game between Tech and Auburn gridmen. Then, in order to preserve friendly relations, Auburn and Tech student leaders formed a committee with the purpose of improving and maintaining better student conduct at each year's game. And since that year, 1948, interested leaders from the two schools have met annually with that purpose in mind. Again this year, students of both schools are being reminded to cooperate in this endeavor to see that friendly relations are not jeopardized by impetuous, juvenile action. We hope that this advice will not be cast aside by any, and that those rooters for the losing team will take defeat like gentlemen and be satisfied with a "wait till next year" attitude. Actually, the suggestions made by the group of student leaders are not meant to be rules, or laws by which every student must abide. What they really amount to is simply a reminder to students to control their emotions and act as c o l l e g e students of normal intelligence. And though just punishment will be provided for violators, the respective student governments hope that none will be necessary. The game will be a tight one, and tempers will flare as the keen rivalry between Tech and Auburn is displayed in Grant Stadium next Saturday. But we hope that students will use common sense and keep the rivalry on a friendly basis. Let the "War Eagles" and "Turkey Buzzards" ring out loudly, but let's be sportsmanlike about it whatever the final score of the game. tittle MaiuOnjCampu* Doctoral Program—A New Academic Cra More than two years of earnest study were culminated this quarter with the initiation of a doctorate program at Auburn, and with this climax a new era in the academic history of API began. Dean Fred Allison of the Graduate School adequately summed up the event with his words in announcing' the program's approval: "A historic moment in the academic growth of API was reached shortly before noon on Tuesday, September 25, when President Draughon gave his official approval for the initiation of a doctoral program at Auburn." Though it is a limited program now, it apparently has a strong, sound foundation which we believe will enable it to develop into one of the finest programs of graduate studies in the South. In its present set-up, the doctoral program can award Ph.D. degrees in only four departments—Zoology, Mathematics, Animal Husbandry and Nutrition, and School Administration. But rather than urge the immediate addition of more departments, we feel that the Steering Committee on the program should be commended for its slow but sure and steady progress. Such an undertaking as this can only succeed if it is approached, as we feel certain it was, from an intelligent, carefully considered Viewpoint. High standards and qualifications must be met. As President Draughon emphasized, "If the graduates cannot be so well trained as to compare favorably with graduates of the best schools of the country, there is no point in our offering doctoral programs." And certainly he is right. If Auburn can- ,not add but one sufficiently qualified department to its doctoral program in the next 100 years, it would be better than to increase the number with departments not on a parallel with those in the leading graduate schools in the country. The Plainsman is sincerely proud of the Auburn administration and faculty members who were in any way responsible for the inauguration of the program of graduate studies at API. The results of their tireless efforts will become more and more evident as the program becomes stronger year by year. 'Experts' Ignore The Solution "A Nation at the Crossroads: Which Way to World Peace?" This was the question on which a group^ of six outstanding men and women addressed the Public Affairs Forum of The Birmingham News last week. In reporting, The News said, "Widely experienced in leading the public and helping shape public thought, the speakers reminded approximately 4,000 listeners that peace in this time of world crisis will be won only through struggle. And that struggle, they said, must be on more than one front." Certainly that is true. The News goes on to report how the question was approached from several angles: "From the standpoint of a lecturer and writer . . . a young man who grew up in Hitler's nazism . . . a leader in public schools . . . a financial writer . . . a diploma^ and former educator . . . an authority on the role of labor in the American economy."* Next The News summed up the addresses and pointed out the main points which the speakers "felt vital to the pursuit of peace." One of the experts expressed a belief that ". . . the building up of military strength is the most effective means toward keeping America out of armed conflict." Another declared that ". . . democracy will wither on the vine if public education falters." But of all the speeches, each of which The News printed in full, not one mentioned what we consider the real and only answer to the present world crisis—Jesus Christ. We have ho doubt in our minds but that He is the only way to world peace. Yet not even one of the outstanding speakers at The News Forum shared this opinion. • It is not our object here to belittle the opinions of the forum's experts; they are free to think as "they choose. We merely wish to point out how pathetic it is to us that on such a panel of experts, from a variety of fields, there was not one who supported Christ as the answer to the world's problems. History shows us that nations which rely absolutely on military strength ultimately meet their downfall for that very reason. Many of the other answers offered by the forum's speakers are good and true, but to us, there is still one that stands far above any of them, and that is Christ. Since time began, men have attempted to solve their problems with every type, make and model of force. But none has ever proved as successful as" the great power that comes only from the Son of God. To us, the question is not "Which Way to World Peace?" The real question is this: "How Can the-World Be Made To Realize that Christ Is the Answer to World Peace?" The world will never have peace until its peoples begin to abide by and teach the principles of Christ. WALTER ALBRITTON Editor MAX HALL Managing Editor Lester Ford ....

Member Associated Collegiate Press Dear Sir: I'd like to answer a question posed by Mr. Herbert White in his column, printed in the October 3rd issue of The Plainsman. First, let's orientate ourselves to the issue by quotingftffr. White. In writing about the Concert-Lecture Committee's bookings for the coming' year, he states: "For the coming year the committee has booked three very good attractions, but as far as the other two a re concerned, we'll string along with the masses and stay at home." After listing the "very good" attractions (which include Miss- G l a d y s Swarthout, long past her prime as a singer, but still fairly photogenic), Mr. White proceeds to those two which he will not attend. "The less desirable attractions," he continues, "are The Players, Incorporated, and Jose Limon and Dance Company. Anybody ever heard of these birds?" This is the question I'd like to answer. I've never heard of "these birds" called The Players, Incorporated, but I'll be at the performance to determine whether they really deserve this anonymity or whether they are a fine, young group struggling toward recognition. I trust Mr. White will grant me that there was a time when neither he nor I had heard of Miss Gladys Swarthout. As for Jose Limon and his fledglings—yes, I've heard of them, and so have thousands of people all over the world including crowned heads before whom they have g i v e n command performances. Also among those who have heard of them (and wanted to see them) can be listed the hundred or so people whom I saw toned away from a Broadway box-office one night.because the Limon performance had been sold out. Let me close with an assurance that I am not a member of the (Continued on page 8) Entered By Nation h By Fred "Cedric" Nichols It seems to me that our nation is in a new period of "inventive mania." This disease is common to all of us. At one time or another we have been guilty of inventing some revolutionary item that we think is second only to suede covered golf clubs and find that it was invented years ago by some guy who had the same brainstorm. There are quite a few inventions that have been duplicated and I feel that they must be brought to the student's attention so as to offset some of this invention overlapping. The first invention that I am going to list is one submitted by Col. L e m u e l Q. Stoopnagle, noted humorist and expert on gyroscopic tendencies of billiard balls in motion. Col. Stoopnagle is given credit for inventing a lint suit that picks up blue serge. Stoopnagle did not market his suit because he couldn't figure out a way to keep the clothing lint separated from the belly button lint that his agents were collecting and storing in the same warehouse. The belly button lint was used as stuffing in a new type pillow and Stoopnagle felt that people wouldn't buy his lint suit if it was made from lint that might be from someone's belly button. Our second invention is taken from a late judge of an Alabama county court who wrote a song about his profession before he died. The name of the judge's song was: "Jurist A Song At Twilight." His invention was a novel approach to the eating and tooth picking problem. Since everybody hates to take the time to use a . toothpick after lunch the judge invented a Cactus Sandwich that will pick your teeth as you eat. This was never successful because a guy was selling reclaimed dental floss at a slightly. lower price. Robert Orben, celebrated author of a book on baby germs entitled, "How to Win Friends and Influenza People," has invented a host of useful items. Among Orben's better inventions is a pen for the French Foreign Legion that writes under sand and a cellophane newspaper for wives who like to see their husbands at breakfast. Orben's ambition is to be as well known as that great Irish inventor— Pat Pending. My only mentionable invention is a cold cream that contains fuzz and is designed to be used by girls who have complexion like a peach. Another one of my inventions is a liquid leg make-up that is sold in curved bottles for girls who have bow legs. At the present time I am trying to invent a new type of bird cage but haven't had any luck so far. However, I have been lecturing to various Audubon, societies about why people should be kind to birds. They must like my lectures because I heard a guy say, "Nichols is lor the birds." by BiMer TIGER LILIES— Players Need Men; Maturity Applauded By JoAnne Lucci Those students who tried* out for roles in the Auburn Players production, "School For Scandal," deserve a big bouquet of Tiger Lilies this, week, but we reserve the right to exclude most of API's male population from the praise. Only four men showed up for the try-outs on October 2 in the Y-Hut, and there are roles for many more boys in the comedy. Out of 6,000 students on the campus, over half of them men, surely more than four have an interest in the field of dramatics. We can but wonder if the same problem exists at other schools; other than at such places as Agnes Scott, Vassar, and Montevallo, we don't believe it does. Parts in the production of the Auburn Players are open to all; students, faculty, and townspeople, with or without experience. Comments on most of the past performances have been favorable, and since it is impossible to produce a play without actors, Auburn men should get on the ball if we are to continue to enjoy a college dramatics organization. A BLOSSOM to maturity: Experts, we have heard, consider independence, a sense of obligation to the human race, persistence, flexibility, patience, creativity, ar-ticulateness and the ability to put ourselves in the .other fellow's shoes as the characteristics .of maturity. To that list, add initiative. To illustrate the point, there was a farmer who boasted' that his dog was the fastest fox hound in the country. One day during a hunt, the dog and the fox outran all of the hunters and disappeared in the woods. The hunting party asked a woodchopper if he had seen a dog and a fox run by. "Wal, yes," the backwoodsman drawled. "Well, how was my dog doing?" ' the farmer asked, a note of pride in his voice. "Yore dog was doing pretty good the last I seed him," was the reply. "He was just a leetle bit ahead." MORAL: the fox took the initiative and got himself out of a tight spot by turning the tables on the dog. A little bit of initiative applied in our daily living could help all of us, too. The next time an opportunity presents itself, put a little more gumption, spunk, drive, push, or whatever you want to call it, into the task, and watch the results.

Already throughout Alabama t h e r e is much speculation about the next governor's race. Soon after Gordon Persons won the governor's chair in 1950, Ala-bamians began predicting who would enter the 1954 scramble, and who would be the victor. A great deal of this talk has centered a r o u n d ex-Governor James E. "Kissin' Jim" Folsom, who could not succeed himself in 1950 because of a Constitutional prohibition. Even though Big Jim has repeatedly said that he would not be a candidate for any other public office, very few take him seriously. Folsom is still recognized by leading politicians as a great vote-getter. They remember how in 1946 he stumped the State with his famous "Strawberry Pickers" and picked up enough votes to sweep him into office. It is also remembered that Alabama received more undesirable publicity during his administration than at any other time. Since his election to office Folsom has figured in many campaigns. In only one of these elections has he been successful; that was in 1947, when he opposed the Constitutional amendment that would have authorized the legislature to call itself into special sessions. But in every election since, Folsom has been on the short side. Even when governor in 1948 Big Jim was unable to get enough votes to make himself a delegate to the national Democratic convention. Also, while he was Alabama's Chief Executive, his picked candidate against John Spark-man was defeated. Added to Folsom's list of unsuccessful tries are the Boswell amendment substitute and the income tax amendment that the (Continued on page 8) ' Enlightened Relations Activities Bear Fruit At Auburn-Tech Meeting By Max Hall , It was a pleasure to note the mutual affability with which student leaders from Auburn and Georgia Tech got together this week. Pleasant intercollegiate relations, such as those exhibited at the meeting, certainly speak well for the enlightened program' of pre-game planning which Hall hatches and woflst. Since this and other schools have been following for the past few years. Not too many g r i d seasons ago, the Auburn- Tech conflict was one of the sore spots on the SEC schedule. As the zero hour approached, everybody 111 in Atlanta and ™* t h e o u t l y i ng territory b a t - tened down the prepared for the the Tech student body rivaled (and for that matter still rivals) our own where spirit is concerned, anything was likely to happen. Years of rat cap thefts, water battles, shouted insults, and street fighting between students finally bore fruit at the 1948 meeting of the two schools, but the fruit took the extremely bitter form of a near-riot in Grant Stadium. Since that incident, students from the two schools have met every year to work out problems concerning spectator conduct at the game. And we'd like to emphasize that it has been a student project. The administrations of both schools have been interested, of course, but they have left the spadework to undergraduates. So far, student leadership has proven equal to the task. Unpleasant incidents have been held to a very respectable minimum since the joint meeting began, and present relations indicate even smoother sailing in the future. One of the most refreshing things about this week's meeting was the way in which both delegations faced up to the behavior-ial shortcomings of their respective student bodies. There were no undue claims of innocence from either side, and the delegates approached possible game-time crises from an objective point of view. As hosts^f or the game, the Georgia Tech group naturally had to assume most of the responsibility for arrangements, and they did so with commendable willingness and efficiency. Given a reasonable amount of cooperation from visiting Auburnites, there is no reason why the present record of good relations shouldn't continue un-soiled. 'We have listened interestedly to the tales of Tech games of other days. Yarns about classic insults and unforgetable fights make good listening during these cool nights, but personally, we prefer things a bit more peaceful. Every API student should exhibit his best manners in Atlanta, and cooperate fully with the recommendations stemming from the meeting. That's the Auburn way of doing things, and we're sure that oiir student body will come through, as usual, in fine style. Sally: "Did you enjoy your canoe ride with Jerry?" Sue: "No. He just hugged the -shore all evening." "Twin beds are all very well," said the blushing bride to the salesman in the furniture department. "But there is no use buying them until we get the twins." She: Do you believe that tight clothes stop circulation? He: Certainly not. The tighter a woman's clothes, the more she's in circulation.

Catchy Names Can Make Fortunes; Actors Change Titles To Gain Fame By Charles Sullivan Have you ever heard of Doris Kappelhoff, John Harris, or Izzy Dempsey? Perhaps you know them better as Doris Day, John Derek, and Kirk Douglas. We like to think that our names do not affect our careers, but in many professions a short, easy to pronounce name is money in the bank. In the entertainment world, you have to know a person extremely well to call him by his real name. John Harris is not very romantic, as names go, so John changed his surname to Derek and has been raking in money ever since. A politician considers his name as an asset or a liability, depending on the district or area he wishes to represent. A candidate named O'Shannon would have a head start in a Boston election, but would face considerable odds in many areas offcNew York City. What would you think if our Secretary of State were named Ivan Panyuskin? Perhaps he could plan and control our foreign affairs better than Dean Acheson, yet Ivan would probably be under considerable suspicion in his dealings with Russia. The names of Presidents of the United States have usually been fairly simple and easy for English speaking people to pronounce. On the basis of names alone, Stevenson is the choice over Eisenhower. We will have reached a new and better era when what a man can do is more important than his name. In too many cases the name makes the man, instead of vice-versa. Progress has been made along this line, but most of us are still name conscious. Some names just sound better than others. Then there is the famous case of Oscar Abjerbiaggiasian, a grocer in Los Angeles, who went to court to change his name. What did he change it to? Why Joseph Abjerbiaggiasian, of course. Joe said his friends couldn't pronounce Oscar. Whether a Modzelewski or a Zybowiscz tackles harder than a Smith or Jones, is a tough question. Many sportswriters tend to favor players with an unusual name or nickname. Le-roy Labat, LSU fullback, better known as the Black Stallion of the Bayous, is an example of a good player cashing in on an eye-catching nickname. For sheer sound appeal and vigor in their names, the Chicago Cardinals quarterback, Trippi, and the Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra, lead the sports list. These names stick in ones' mind and are easy to pronounce. Practically all surnames or family names have a meaning. For instance, the most printable definition of Sullivan is blue-eyed. By spending several hundred hours searching and researching in the library, you can discover what your name means. In case you had rather spend money than time, send the usual 10-dollar money order to us and we will tell you what you are. If you do not like your name, just remember, a rose by any other name would have just as many thorns.

COLLEGE X: L SCANNING THE PLAINS FOOTS SPORTS EDITOR Laney Dudley Spence, Ace Auburn Punter Doubles For Vince Dooley At QB - Quarterback Dudley Spence, in the fore for his second year as Coach Shug Jordan's kicking prodigy, had for three years spent the better part of Auburn's football games watching other quarterbacks direct the Tigers in the attack. Through the opening Maryland affair and into the Ole Miss ado, the McComb, Miss., senior performed* his specialist task magnifi- ' cently. When regular play-caller Vince Dooley was injured near the end of the Tiger^Reb first period, Spence was called upon for additional work—bringing Auburn from behind to possibly maneuver a Tiger victory. He temporarily accomplished the former half of Auburn's1 intentions,by bringing the Tigers up to 7-all with an eight-yard pass to Capt. Lee Hayley. Spence had a very busy day. In addition to passing for 101 yards (14 of 22 aerials completed) and directing his backs through a rugged Rebel defense for more than a century of yardage, he punted 13 times for 490 yards. His 37.6 punting, average is excellent considering he had one kick blocked (minus 12 yards) and had two sail past the goalline which automatically subtracted 20 yards from each kick. Though Spence may return to his understudy role upon the recovery of Dooley, he has proven to Auburnites that he is more than a punting expert and can execute ball-handling chores with adeptness. In all probability, Spence will start tomorrow's game against the Wofford Terriers, and this seems to be only justice for a man who has persevered to a coveted tarting berth. —Three Games Tomorrow Pit Six API Foes In this day of offense tinted football, trying to surmise various teams' true strength via the comparison of scores usually results in a dead end. This method of prognostigation is generally regarded as one used only by the foolish. But sometimes, the feverish football fan runs astray. An indication of how Auburn will fare the remainder of the season is what Auburnites seek to derive from the outcomes of three football games involving six Tiger opponents tomorrow. Perhaps top interest is turned to the Georgia Tech-Tulane struggle in Atlanta. If the Golden Tornado can surpass the Green-ies, it carries into the Auburn-Tech game next week a skein of 17 games without defeat. To add to the expected intensity of this game, though it be a week away, Auburn has been winless in Atlanta since 1940. Tulane follows Tech on the Auburn schedule. Florida and Clemson promise some sort of fireworks in Gainesville. The Gators, their homecoming foe being Auburn on November 1, are figured to ease by the Carolina Tigers, another late season Auburn foe, who were last week smothered 28-0, by Maryland. A third "indicator," a battle of two undefeated elevens, is Maryland vs. Georgia in Athens. Aside from the six-point verdict by the Terps over, the Plainsmen, Coach Jordan turns a searching eye toward the Bulldogs, whom he helped tutor for four years (1946-50), for comparative information. The Bulldogs hold the better half of an ancient Auburn-Georgia rivalry dating back to 1892. Besides this, Jordan hopes to avenge the 46-14 'Dog decision of last year and place the Tiger on a winning ticket where they haven't been since 1942, in the Georgia series. —Why Not Hygiene As A Five-Hour Course? The physical education department features a course from which could be derived much benefit if it were presented in a manner to put it on par with other important courses in a student's curriculum. The course, loathed by all who are subjected to the way it is crammed into the required curriculum without credit, is Hygiene, or personal and community health. Hygiene proper is a good course. But the manner in which API requires Hygiene forces it to be the most ill-considered course in the school. This is not a reflection on the physical education department or any of the instructors therein. Should Hygiene be made a five-hour required subject which could be completed in a quarter, interest would rise and the course would be 100 per cent more effective than it is now. Any school or department could easily afford to dispense with some course of equal or lesser importance than Hygiene, insert this beneficial course in its place, and all Auburn would be much happier. . , Howard Wins Praise For Olympic Work Auburn Athletic Director Jeff Beard was proud of Tiger trainer Kenny Howard's selection as Olympic trainer several months back. This week Beard received the following message from Dr. Harry R. McPhee, chief physician of the U. S. Olympic team: "It was my good fortune as physician to the United States Olympic team to have your trainer8 Kenny Howard, associated with me. Ken quietly and efficiently met the training problems that arose with our track and field contestants. In addition, he ungrudgingly' lent a hand wherever it was needed. His work played an important part in the successes of the team, and you can be very proud of him."

Anderson, Coffeeville, has been named winner of the Sears, Roebuck Foundation sophomore scholarship in agriculture for 1952-53, according to Dr. E. V. Smith, dean of the School of Agriculture. Anderson was selected from a field of 10 Sears, Roebuck freshman scholarship winners who entered API in the fall of 1951. SUBSTITUTE QUARTERBACK Dudley Spence connects with Captain Lee Hayley, offensive left end, for eight yards and Auburn's only touchdown of the Ole Miss Game in Memphis Saturday. The shot shows 10 of Auburn's 11 offensive gridders in action. (API Photo by Les King.) Harrington Joins Speech Faculty Dr. Donald A. Harrington, the new head of API's speech and hearing clinic, has begun his duties by giving tests to members of the freshman class. His clinical work at API will be mainly for speech improvement of the students. He also plans some out-patient work. Students who need speech improvement or speech correction may receive help as a service of API. Faculty members as well as students may have their hearing checked in the clinic. Dr. Harrington is a native of Calumet, Minn, and comes to Auburn from Marquette University where he was asistant professor of naval science. Prior to teaching at Marquette University, he spent two years at the University of Oklahoma. From 1942 to 1945, he served in the Navy as an engineering officer. Auburn Tripped By Ole Miss 20-7; Spence Shines In Reserve Role By John Raines Auburn succumbed to an SEC darkhofse in Memphis, Saturday as Ole Miss capitalized on the presence of Lady Luck and the abilities of four superior Rebel backs for a 20-7 victory before 14,000 spectators. It was the first conference game of the year for the Plainsmen and the only SEC game of the day. Vince Dooley, Auburn's leading split-T operator, was1 sidelined with a twisted knee in the first quarter after being tackled by center Jim Ingram, and that factor, plus the handicap-of a blocked punt in the first there minutes, spoiled whatever chances Auburn might have had. Ole Miss quickly converted the blocked punt into a touchdown and held a 7-0 lead until Auburn evened the score in the second quarter. BOBBY JORDAN set the Auburn scoring wheels in motion by intercepting a Jimmy Lear pass and scampering 27 yards to the Ole Miss 18. Charlie Hataway, in three tries moved the ball to the 11. Rushed by the hard-charging Rebels, Dudley Spence retreated about 10 yards and fired an aerial to Captain Lee Hayley. It was good for three yards, and a first down. • Hataway tried twice to dent the Ole Miss forward wall, but didn't gain an inch. Then, on third down, Spence calmly discovered Hayley all alone on the left side and whipped an eight-yard payoff pitch. Automatic Joe Davis made the PAT and the scoreboard read 7-7 with 12 minutes remaining in the quarter. HOWEVER the talented Rebels stormed right back, with Wilson Dilliard and Allen Muir-head pacing the drive, and moved 76 yards for what proved to be the winning marker. In the final semester, Ole Miss traveled 44 yards for the clincher. Outstanding defensive honors this week again go to Jack Lock-lear, who is proving more and more in every game that Coach Jordan's expectations of him were justified. If Locklear should show up as good in the next eight games, he would without doubt deserve All-SEC honors. Bill Turnbeaugh's radar system was on the beam and he again showed his great skill at stopping enemy thrusts. Offensive honors go to Dudley Spence, who stepped into Vince Dooley's shoes at quarterback and passed 22 times, connecting for 14 and thusly gained 101 yards. Chesterfield To Sponsor Pick The Winner Contest Chesterfield cigarettes campus representatives George Huffman and Tom Caldwell anounced this week that a football "Pick the Winner" contest would be held on the campus.

The Plainsmen, their victory being more significant since two frosh standouts (Ray Mercer and Bob Scarbrough) are on the varsity, were led to the upset win by backs Bill Burbank and Fob James and linemen Jim i Crouch and Ben Lightfoot. James, the second of his family's notable Auburn athletes, in. itiated the evening's scoring by speeding through guard with a Burbank hand-off for 82 yards and an Auburn touchdown. After . , , . • ., . « touchdown, missing the conversion try, Au-1 burn was ahead with 10 minutes remaining in the second period. THE CRIMSONS, were quick in retaliation. Starting near the end of the second stanza on the 49, Alabama drove the remaining 51 yards without losing the ball to their only touchdown. Troy's Albert Elmore sparkled by spearheading this drive and culminating it with a one-yard burst through the line for the score. On Elmore's conversion, the Elephants carried a one-point margin through the third quarter. Auburn decided the contest at the opening' of the final period when James received a 22-yard f Burbank pass for the second Tiger touchdown. To set up the pay off play, Burbank returned an intercepted Alabama pass 53 yards to the Crimson 22. Burbank's drop-kick conversion concluded the day's point-making and it was Auburn 13, Alabama 7.

A plant using natural gas as its basic fuel produces a waste oil of variable hydrocarbon composition and a waste gas with only 110 Btu/cu. ft. DuPont M.E.'s designed burners, fans, boilers and combustion controls to permit use of all three fuels for generating steam. 2. At another plant 20,000 gpm of cooling water were to be drawn from & nearby river. Since the water level fluctuated 40 feet between normal and flood stages, it was necessary to evaluate several plans for pump-house constructions against cooling towers. The engineers installed a unique pump house whose submerged vertical pumps operate even when the structure is entirely under water. Aside from design and construction, Du Pont mechanical engineers concern themselves with such related subjects as economic evaluations, equipment selection, heat balances, load calculations, waste heat boilers. For example, where various process temperatures from 300° to 600°F. were required, Dowtherm was selected as the supply medium at the rate of 35 million Btu/hr. The engineers installed a central system for primary supply because it calculated to be more economical than separately located vaporizers. On the operational side, M.E.'s supervise the supply of power and services. They establish performance standards and analyze equipment for « results, cost and maintenance. Edward W. Garrison (right) M.S. in M.E., California Tech '47, and Byron R. Brown (center), B.S. in M.E., New Hampshire '49, supervise adjustment of furnace conditions in a study of power-plant efficiency. Whether viewed from the design and construction side or the operational side, t he diversity of Du Pont's manufacture offers a wealth of opportunities in power work for the mechanical engineer. OPPORTUNITIES for men and women with many types of technical training are discussed fully in "The Du Pont Company «and the College Graduate." For a copy, write 2521 Nemours, Wilmington, Del.

A breakdown of the figures show that the freshman class is, as usual, the largest group on the campus with 2,287. Of that number, 1,529 are first quarter freshmen. COEDS will be pleased to note that the ratio is still in their favor, with, only 1,507 women on the campus while there are 4,888 men. The school with the largest enrollment this fall is engineering, with 1,499 students. The School of Science and Literature is sec-end with 1,441. Edwards announced that a total of 949 veterans had enrolled this BACKFIRE (Continued from page 4) Lecture and Concert Series Committee. What's more, I have often found their selections subject to censure; but, what with the dearth of decent entertainment hereabouts (not to mention the obvious limi-tatiohs as to finances and artist ^availability facing the committee), I can be counted among those present on almost every occasion. I do not censure Mr. White for attacking an Auburn-sponsored project; on the contrary, it is his duty as a member of the school newspaper to do so when such action is warranted. But I do wish he would investigate his complaints a little more thoroughly and, more importantly, I wish he would realize his power as a member of the press and not influence our students and faculty to i stay home from the relatively few performances which might easily be found to supply the type of entertainment we not only need, but can learn to enjoy. • Sincerely yours, H. E. Metz, English Department Dear Sir: It is with great enjoyment that I read your last two issues of The Plainsman. It,is a fine publication and I know it is widely read. I would like to state that I especially enjoyed the articles by Sullivan and Nichols in the first issue very much, as they appealed tc my particular sense of humor. I was just wondering why the paper doesn't have some space devoted to student want-ads. Perhaps it would not be worth the trouble, but I sincerely believe there would be a great response. Very sincerely, Edward G. Brady, J r . * * * Dear Sir: I should like to encourage every student to have his picture includ-quarter. Of that total, 446 are veterans of the Korean .W^r, while the remainder are World War II veterans. S e v e n women are among the World War II veterans.

Not only is the value of a college annual greatly enhanced when all students have their pictures in it, but these pictures have a very practical value which we in this office see almost every week. Each year we receive special sections of the Glomerata which carry individual pictures of the students. We follow the practice (and I believe this practice is followed in the offices of other deans) of cutting out the pictures of students in this school and pasting them on their permanent record cards. This helps us greatly in remembering the students. And, our remembering a student may be responsible for his being considered for a job. Quite frequently we are called on to recommend some of our students or former students for a particularly attractive job. I can remember the names of only a small fraction of our present 'students, not to mention former students, but I can remember most of their faces. So, when I am asked to recommend a person for a job, I go to our files and begin looking over the permanent record cards to locate someone whose record is in line with what the employer wants. I will probably select 10 to 15 such cards, but if a picture of the student is not on his card, I may not remember him. It is rather hard to recommend a person for a job, regardless of his record, if you can't remember him.

Simmons School of Agriculture Dear Editor: I'would like to take this opportunity to thank personally all those who attended the first meeting of the Auburn Chapter of Young Democrats last Tuesday night. The enthusiasm of the crowd to hear Mr. Hobbs, as well as the general interest in the coming election make me feel that the Young Democrats can be of real service in Lee County. For those who might not be familiar with the Auburn Chapter of Young Democrats an explanation of the membership might prove helpful. The Auburn Young Democrats is open to any person living in Auburn or vicinity. We wecome into our membership students, faculty members, townspeople and other Lee Countians interested in joining. The only requirements for membership are (1) that you are between the ages of 19 and 40 and (2) that you are a Democrat. This organization is open to all people in Auburn and vicinity who meet these qualifications. We hope that you as Democrats will take part in our activities. This organization is in no respect a campus organization or a TWO FREE TICKETS THE FIRST PERSON who recognizes this place of interest on the campus, picks up the Tiger that will be attached to it, and brings the Tiger to the Plainsman office will receive two tickets to the Tiger Theater's Sunday attraction, "Affair In Trinidad."

OCR Transcript | Maritime News Rough Sailing For Tech Weather Report: Touchdown Showers On Wofford TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOL. 79 8 Pages FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1952 ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA Number 11 Stealing Ac Books Not Representative Of True API Students - By War Eagle I was rather disturbed this week when I learned that many student activities books had been stolen from Auburn students, by other students. Such news is always displeasing, especially when I recall the respect for the individual that for decades Auburn students have upheld. And certainly that respect for the rights of others is as much an integral part of the Auburn spirit as anything. I don't like to see even a small number of "War Eagle" sons and daughters stoop to such low behavior as that of a common thief. \i anything/ i s unwanted at Auburn, it is a disrespecter of human rights. A true Auburn student is one who believes in individual rights, fairness, honesty, courtesy, and all the glorious traditions that have been a dynamic part of API since its birth. , Qualification Deadline Approaches For Miss Homecoming, School Posts By JoAnne Lucci All persons, wishing to qualify as candidates for API's top school officer posts and freshman senate seats must file their declaration of intention by 4 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the student government office. The qualifications board will meet at 8:30 that night, according to Student Body Presi dent Jimmy Baird. Forms for the declaration are available at the office. "dEADLINE for the nominations of "Miss Homecoming" candidates, who will be elected at the same time as the officers, is at the same time," Baird stated. Every organisation recognized by the student senate is eligible to sponsor a coed for the honor as well ,as each dormitory, fraternity, and sorority. Date of the preliminary judging for "Miss Homecoming" has not yet been set, Baird said. QUALIFICATIONS for all student government positions at stake in the fall election, as well, as the "Miss Homecoming" balloting may be found in the student body constitution in the Tiger Cub. The qualification board is made up of Baird, Don Johnson, vice-president of the student body; Stuart Leach, president pro tern of the senate, and Jack Appleby, superintendent of political affairs. For the first time, balloting, which will take place October 30, will select officers on a school rather than a class basis. • ODK Bares Plans For Mock Ballot On National Issues V Four voting booths will be set up on the campus by Omicron Delta Kappa to hold a mock presidential election on Tuesday, Oct. 28. The booths will be at Vet Hill, Ag Hill, Main Gate and Ramsay Engineering Hall, the men's honorary society announced. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and polling lists will be used to insure the accuracy of the vote. ODK urges all students to participate, regardless of whether they are eligible to vote in the national presidential election. The purpose of the mock ballot, according to ODK, is to stimulate interest in the national campaign. The balloting is strictly unofficial, and is in no way intended to represent or reflect the opinion of the college, ODK, or anyone con nected with these groups. Plainsmen Ruled Three-Touchdown Favorites On Eve Of Home Opener With Wofford Terriers 'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS' 5*i// Going Up— It's great to see this quarter's enrollment still climbing. Figures as of yesterday were 6,395 only five short of an even 6,400.' I'm hoping that that we'll reach that mark, or even more. But whatever the final result is, I believe we'll all be pleased to see that Auburn has had such a tremendous increase, when many other colleges have suffered a decrease of 10 per cent or more. * * * Squires are to be commended for the fine "Hey Day" Monday. It is good to see students cooperating in an effort to promote and strengthen friendliness on the campus. But really, a "Hey Day" shouldn't be necessary to remind students to speak to each other. The purpose of the day is valid, but we hope that someday Auburn students will keep the friendly spirit of API alive, without having to be reminded with a "Hey Day" every quarter. Pep Rally Tonight! . That one big night in the week is close at, hand again. Tonight will be pep rally time in the student ac building, and I wouldn't miss it for anything. I'll be listening for the loudest yells of the quarter to erupt tonight, and I've got a feeling in my right wing that Auburn's grid team is going to whack the daylights out of Wofford tomorrow. Adair Lists Nomination Procedure For ODK-Glom Beauty Candidates - Nomination -deadline for the Omicron Delta Kappa- Glomerata Beauty Ball contestants has been set for Thursday Oct. 21, according to Steve Adair, Montgomery, ODK chairman. Every recognized organization on the campus is eligible to sponsor a candidate, Adair said. To enter, girls must be undergraduates currently enrolled at API. No girl can represent more than one organization. NOMINATIONS may be mailed to ODK in care of the student government office, or turned in to Adair at the Omega Tau Sigma house, or to Denny Ray at the Phi Kappa Tau house. ODK announced that this year no photograph of the candidates will be necessary. Preliminary judging will be held in the Social Center on October 28. A panel of five judges THE INTERIOR decorating scheme of the new women's dorms is very nice. If you have doubts, check the above example. She's Nancy Entrekin, sophomore in dramatics from Columbus, Ga. (API Photo by Les King.) will be named at a later date, Adair said. Nominations must be turned in on a nomination blank made out as follows: "We, (name of organization), nominate (name of candidate) for ODK-Glomerata beauty. Signed by president of organization. • . I accept the nomination. Signed by the candidate." Names of the eight finalists, who will be featured in the beauty section of the Glome rata, will be announced at the Beauty Ball on Nov. 22. Plans Become Reality As Draughon Approves New Doctorate Program API President Kalph B. Draughon's official approval of a program of doctoral study at Auburn, which was issued on September 25, marked the beginning of an academic improve, ment which has been in the planning stage for more than two years. Interested Students Urged To Attend Plainsman Staff Meeting All students interested in working on The Plainsman are urged to attend a staff meeting Monday, Oct. 13, at 4 p.m. in The Plainsman office on Tich-enor Avenue. Editor Walter Albritton states that many vacancies exist on both the editorial and business staffs, and that "any student interested in working on the paper will be. given a chance. The Plainsman can use students who are willing to work, whether or not they've, had any previous experience." The newspaper office is located in the Lee County Bulletin Building on Tichenor Avenue, near the post office. Auburn is now in a position to offer Ph.D. degrees in four fields —animal husbandry and nutrition, zoology, school administration, and mathematics. Dr. Fred Allison, dean of the School of Graduate Studies, called the beginning of the program "An historic moment in the academic growth of API." THE DOCTORATE program has been under consideration by various f a c u l t y committees, working under Dean of Faculties M. C. Huntley, for more than two years. These groups studied problems concerning library facilities, faculty, and housing for the program. On May 27, 1952, the pian was recommended for the institution by the Council of Deans, and the Board of Trustees, at their annual meeting on June 2, gave its approval. WITH THE stage thus set for the beginning of actual work on the program, Dean Allison appointed a steering committee. Members of the committee were drawn from the four departments involved in the program and from others which may be approved for doctoral study in the future. The duties of the committee include keeping the level of doctorate work on a competitive plane with the best graduate schools in the country. Committee members are Dr. Ruth Albrecht, home economics; Dr. C. P. Anson, economics; Dr. W. L. Miller, economics; Dr. R. W. Engel, animal husbandry; Dr. M. C. McMillan, history; Dr. W. V. Parker, mathematics; Dr.' W. R. Patrick, English; Dr. H. H. Punke, education; Dr. C. R. Saunders, chemistry; Dr. Raymond H. White, education, and Mrs. Ruth Brittin, assistant to the graduate dean. AS TO FUTURE plans for the program, Dr. Allison stated that t h e departments of physics, chemistry, and poultry husbandry are likely to qualify for doctorate study within a reasonable length of time. Some other departments are building staffs and acquiring facilities, and could be eligible for consideration in a few years. H.C Wang Added To Mathematics Staff As Research Prof Dr. H. C. Wang recently joined the API faculty as research professor in mathematics. He 'will divide his time between teaching and research work. Doctor Wang comes to Auburn from Princeton University where he spent a year working for the Institute for Advanced Study. Prior to this, he taught for two years' at Louisiana State University and one summer at Tulane University. He received his1 B.A. degree from the National Southwest Associated University, Kunming, China, and his Ph.D. degree from Manchester University, Manchester, England. Adams To Head Textile Department Appointment of Cleveland L. Adams as head of the API department of textile technology was announced this week by Dean J. E. Hannum of the School of Engineering. Adams, who graduated from API in 1932, is widely known in the textile field. For the past nine years he has been associated with the West Point Manufacturing Co., most recently with the Lanett Division where he was technical director. Before going to Lanett, he was head of the processing department of the research division of the company. After finishing at API, Adams studied at Tulane University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He served as Research Cotton Technologist with the Southern Regional Research Lab- Whip Wofford Rally Scheduled Tonight A tremendous pep rally has been scheduled for 7:15 tonight to get ready for Auburn's first home game of the season, according to Dennis Calhoun, h e ad cheerleader. The "Wallop Wofford" rally will begin with a parade which will form" at Ross Square and march through town led by the Auburn Band. The parade will disband at the student activities building for the pep rally and dance. Head Coach "Shug" Jordan, one of his assistants, team captain Lee Hayley and co-captain Bill Mc- Murry will speak at the rally, Calhoun said. THE DANCE, with music by the Auburn Knights, will be informal. "Next on the schedule is the freshman pa jama parade and Wreck Tech rally," Calhoun said, "which will be Thursday, Oct. 16. It will also form at Ross Square, at 4 p.m." All freshmen boys are to dress in their gaudiest pajamas for the parade, and a prize will be awarded the group with the most original theme. Fraternity groups are to be accompanied by two upper classmen, and all dormitory groups and independents are to participate. The parade will disband at the stadium, where a "Wreck Tech" pep rally will be held, Calhoun said. Dudley Spence To Direct Auburn T In Hare Stadium Feature At 2 p.m. By Dave "Foots" Laney Plainsman Sports Editor The Auburn Plainsmen open a three-game home schedule tomorrow when they meet a perennially scrappy Wofford College eleven in Cliff Hare Stadium at 2 p.m. Defeated by highly ranked Maryland and Ole Miss during the last fortnight, Auburn is favored to rebound with a three-touchdown 1 i I victory over the Carolinians. Vince Dooley, injured in the first quarter of the Ole Miss contest, will watch the game from the sidelines along with Jackie Creel, Bobby Freeman, and Jim Lofton who are also indisposed. Replacing Dooley at quarterback is Dudley Spence, the McComb, Miss., senior. Jack Beeler, last year's director of the Terriers' single wing formation, is missing from Coach Phil Dickens' squad because of graduation; however press , reports say tailback Jimmy Brock has ably replaced Beeler in the Terrier backfield. > Drives Committee Starts Campus Safety Effort A safety drive is now in progress on the Auburn campus, it was announced today by Tom Caldwell, superintendent of all campus, drives. The idea for the campaign was the results of a Drives Committee meeting held last Wednesday "at 5 p.m. As the first project to put the safety crusade in full swing, the committee urges all students migrating to Atlanta for the Auburn" Georgia Tech clash to drive carefully to and from the game.' Program By Trio Slated For Langdon The Auburn Trio, composed of Edgar Glyde, violinist; Dorothy Clyde, cellist; and William Tamb-lyn, pianist, will be presented by the music department in its first fall performance on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon Hall. The Trio will be assisted by Charles A. Bentley, clarinetist, a member of the API music faculty. The program consists of two compositions. Admission is free and the public is invited. The first work to be played will be the "Trio in D Minor" by Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn wrote only two pianoforte trios, and these are generally considered to be his finest efforts in the realm of chamber music. The second work, "Quartet in C Minor," by Faure was written in 1879, and was the first of several chamber music compositions. Faure here displays his famous lyricism I to which is joined a degree of power and imagination not always present in this composer. The three artists comprising the Trio and Bentley are well-known to Auburn music followers. Dorothy Glyde, Canadian-born cellist, studied in Vancouver, B.C., and in Toronto, Canada. She-received her training degree from Trinity College, London, and has played extensively in the U. S. and Canada. She is currently first cellist with the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra. Edgar Glyde studied violin, violincello, and piano in England. Coming to Canada in 1929, he played in the Vancouver Symphony. Later he joined the Hart House String Quartet as violinist and during one of the American | tours he played at Auburn. Student Leaders Plan For Friendly Tech Grid Game By Tom Duke Student leaders from Georgia Tech and Auburn met here Monday to draw up suggestions that might further friendly relations between the two schools at the football game in Atlanta October 18. • Since 1948, groups from Tech and Auburn have met for New Debators Needed All Auburn students interested in debating are urged to meet with the API Debate Team on Monday night at 7:30 in Sam-ford Hall. William S. Smith, recently appointed debate coach, is planning a road trip for the team in the near future. pre-game parleys on each campus. Plans were made to keep student conduct at each year's football game up to gentlemanlike standards. The conference began at 4 p.m. with a short business meeting in Magnolia Hall, followed by a tour of the API campus, and concluded with a banquet that night in the Pitts Hotel. ' JIM BAIRD, s t u d e n t body president, urges full cooperation of Auburn students in maintain-taining good relations with Tech. "Acts of rowdyism, vandalism and the stealing of rat caps were not good publicity for either school in recent years, and I hope that Auburn students will bear that in mind this year, and act accordingly, in a sportsmanlike manner," Baird said. "In the interest of both student bodies, I sincerely'hope that Auburn students will conduct themselves in a manner that will bring credit rather than" discredit to our school," he concluded. On the recommendation of the group of student leaders, the following precautions a r e being taken by the Auburn-Tech Better Relations Committee to prevent or if necessary to control any misunderstanding between the students of both schools: » 1. Paper cups will replace coke bottles in the stadium if possible. 2. Members of the Ramblin' Wreck Club and Blue Key, will patrol Techwood Drive and other areas adjoining the stadium prior to and after the game. 3. Tech freshmen will keep rat caps in their pockets before and after the game. Auburn freshmen are asked not to wear their rat caps. 4. Both school bands will remain in the stadium until the crowd has disappeared. 5. School papers will exchange features and editorials, and copies of both papers will be distributed on both campuses. 6. Auburn fans attending the game* are urged to park in the lot between the Georgia Tech Textile Building and the new architecture building. 7. Tech freshmen will escort the team off the field. 8. Students are urged to cooperate by not throwing articles of any kind during the game. 9. Violators of gentlemanlike conduct will be punished by the Tech student government and the Auburn Disciplinary Committee. Admission to the Auburn- Georgia Freshman football game today may be gained free by presentation of the Student Activity Book, ticket No. 11. Student tickets for both the Auburn-Wofford game tomorrow and the Auburn-Georgia Tech game next week in Atlanta go off sale today at 4:30 p.m. AUBURN IS depending primarily upon its behemoth line which was effective in slowing the strong running attacks of Ole Miss a n d . Maryland. Anchored by tackles Bill Turnbeaugh and Sam Hanks, the defensive wall averages 219 pounds, end to end. In Jack Abel, Wofford has one of the South's finer ends. A Little- All-America candidate, Abel has been a thorn in the Plainsmen's side for the last two years. Capt. Bob McLellan, the plunging fullback who teamed with Beeler to upset Auburn 19-14 in 1950, returns with Alt.-Capt. Eli Sanders, wingback, to give Wofford a formidable offensive. Earlier in the week Coach Shug Jordan indicated that he would use his reserves freely if possible in oider to rest the regulars for the upcoming Atlanta struggle with Georgia Tech. Probably included on this list are Fob James, Ed Newby, Ray Mercer, Charles Littles, M. L. Brackett, and Joe Davis. Tomorrow's game is fourth in the Auburn-Wofford series, the first being played in 1930, with the score favoring Auburn 38-6. Wofford won in 1950, and last year the Plainsmen triumphed 30-14.

The blue-eyed brownette was chosen from among 61 cont e s t a n t s who spent three days in Birmingham1 attending luncheons and dances and being interviewed by a panel of five* judges. They appeared before the judges in costumes ranging from evening dresses to bathing suits and modeled suits of winter cotton fabric. BEING CHOSEN as alternate to Alice Corr of Selma, 1953 Maid of Cotton, is not Elizabeth's only claim to fame. The charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gregory of Auburn has received considerable recognition as the only coed majoring in animal husbandry at Auburn. When asked why she selected this major, Lriz smiled and replied, "I love animals and my father is a specialist in livestock marketing at API, so my choice isn't as unusual as it may seem." Upon graduation, E l i z a b e t h hopes to work w i t h a cattle breeding publication s u c h as Shorthorn World. A member of Kappa Delta sorority, she is minoring in journalism. Among her hobbies, Liz names swimming, horseback riding, and cattle judging. "Of course the judges asked me if I had ever picked cotton," said Liz, "and I was happy to announce that I had not only picked cotton, but also planted and dusted the king of Southern crops." Her winning formula, was to "keep smiling and carry on intelligent conversations w i th the judges." The Alabama Cotton Promotion Committee presented a $200 check and a large bouquet of white roses to Elizabeth. Alice Corr received a $500 check from The Birmingham News and The Birmingham Post-Herald and will also receive a $1,000 everglaze cotton gown. API WAS well represented at the state Maid of Cotton contest with more than a dozen Auburn coeds as contestants sponsored by their respective counties. Catherine Bailey, of Anniston, the 1952 Maid of Cotton and an Auburn student, crowned Miss Corr, the 1953 Maid, at the fairground ceremonies. Miss Gregory represented Lee "Represents education that continues," says GEORGE GALLUP Founder of the American Institute of Ptfblic Opinion; formerly Professor, Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia U. "A serious weakness of the American educational system is the missing link between what we are taught in school and what we learn after leaving school. The Reader's Digest represents education that continues 1 It arouses and satisfies keen interest in the vital issues of the day and in varied fields of lasting knowledge." County, having won the county contest in May, and Miss Corr represented Dallas County. The winner and the alternate are both 5 feet 7 % inches tall and weigh around 120 pounds. The Alabama Maid of Cotton contest is sponsored by the Alabama Cotton Promotions Committee, made up of representatives from the Alabama State Farm Bureau Federation, the Alabama State Fair Authority, and various groups from the cotton industry in the state. First Fall Meeting Of College FFA Group Planned For Tuesday Agriculture students and others interested are invited to attend the first fall meeting of the college FFA chapter, which is to be held Tuesday, Oct. 14, in Thach Auditorium, at 7 p.m. Students are urged to take advantage of the various activities offered by the collegiate Future Farmers chapter. Many opportunities are afforded by the chapter for developing leadership and a group spirit of cooperation. One honor in particular toward which students might strive is the FFA certificate of merit, which is awarded to seniors at graduation. Requirements for receiving the certificate are built around active membership during one's college career.

Scholarship Awarded Spring Hill ME Student f Cecil M. Ward, Jr., junior in mechanical engineering f r om Spring Hill; recently was awarded a cash scholarship by the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foudation for a paper he wrote on machine design.'' Ward's design of a 50-ton hydraulic press was previously accepted in his engineering drawing and design class at API. The foundation makes awards to students from a wide range of colleges and universities on the basis of significant contributions in machine designing. The purpose of the foundation is to encourage and stimulate scientific and engineering study as a boon to future progress. Sears Foundation Honors Frosli Award Winners New scholarship winners in agriculture and home economics were honored by the Sears, Roebuck Foundation at a dinner in the private dining room of Magnolia Hall Thursday night, Oct. 9. Previous winners of Sears scholarships who are now 'in school at API also attended the dinner. The Auburn Chapter of Young Democrats h e a r d Montgomery Attorney Truman Hobbs say Tuesday night that "the Republicans have demonstrated there are few blessings to be expected from a 'do nothing' policy." At a meeting in Broun Hall auditorium the Young Democrats elected officers, named committees and mapped strategy in behalf of the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket. Named president of the group was Lester Ford, API student in chemical engineering; vice-president, Finis St. John, API student in pre-law; s e c r e t a r y, Mrs. Harold Klontz; treasurer, Homer Wright, Jr. Hobbs, son of the late Congressman Sam Hobbs and prominent young attorney, said, "The voters of this country are being assailed with the startlingly new proposition, 'It's time for a change.' If anything has shown more resistance to change than this moth eaten slogan which the Republicans have been chanting for four presidential elections— and I, suspect the Democrats were chanting it before that—I am ignorant of it. But disregarding this inconsistency, the slogan has other infirmities that resulted if not from the slogan's age, at least from the age in which the slogan ia uttered." "The political crepe hangers are touring the country again chanting the same song' of national destruction," said Hobbs. "We have all heard it before only the tempo has increased with the number of years the Republicans have been out of office. They tell us the nation, is economically bankrupt, that our foreign policy is Communist inspired, and that the moral fibre of our youth is gone." ' "The same people were also telling us that grass would grow in the streets if the Democrats were elected in '32, and their prophecy .then is just as false as their appraisal of the present. "What are the facts that rebuilt this gloomy and false appraisal of the present. The facts are that the Democratic Party has shaped the policies of this nation through a twenty year period as violent and as changing as any in history. Totalitarian tyrannies have replaced Democratic governments in many parts of the world and the forces that generated those changes were world-wide in sweep. But this nation c o n t a i n ed those forces within the .framework of our Constitutional government preserving the civil and political liberties of the individual and achieving more economic security for more of our citizens than has ever been achieved in any country at any time. This is a stupendous achievement, and no one can quarrel with us when we say this has been achieved under twenty years of Democratic administration. We don't contend the Democratic Party has not made mistakes, nor do we say that it will not make others in the future, because the only way to avoid all error—except the error of doing nothing—is to do nothing. Republicans demonstrated there are few blessings to be expected from such a 'do nothing' policy." Glyde Completes Conductors' Course Edgar Glyde of Auburn, conductor, Montgomery Symphony, was one of 35 symphony orchestra conductors who completed the five-day conductors training program with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The conductors, came from all over the United. States, from small and medium size towns, to Philadelphia in the inauguration of this unique educational plan sponsored 3—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, Oct. 10, 1952 by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra League. The conductors were briefed in the lobby of historic Academy of Music by Harl McDonald, Philadelphia Orchestra manager, and the training program was outlined by Ormandy. After witnessing the Philadelphia Orchestra's first rehearsal of the 1952-53 season, the group of maestros were the guests of the Orchestra at a luncheon in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Addressing the group Ormandy told them that they represented the ones who will take over important podiums when Ormandy's generation stepped down. Activities included "guest conducting" of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and talks by music critics Virgil Thompson, of the New York Herald Tribune, Olin Downes, of the New York Times, and Mrs. Helen Thompson, executive secretary of the Symphony League. at 70me DIAMONDS tyati ccutt "tai£'quality wfo # cttftMtOMcL\ 0000 Quality is either there or it isn't!

[ Let's Be Sportsmen, Gentlemen Though the game with Wofford is yet to be played, many students have probably already made plans to attend the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta next Saturday. Other pre-game preparations were outlined this week when student leaders from both Tech arid Auburn" met to discuss different ways in which sportsmanlike conduct might be maintained at the game. The suggestions of the group will be publicized at both schools, and are printed on the first page of this week's Plainsman. The reason for the meeting grew out of an unfortunate brawl that took place four years ago, after a rather high-spirited game between Tech and Auburn gridmen. Then, in order to preserve friendly relations, Auburn and Tech student leaders formed a committee with the purpose of improving and maintaining better student conduct at each year's game. And since that year, 1948, interested leaders from the two schools have met annually with that purpose in mind. Again this year, students of both schools are being reminded to cooperate in this endeavor to see that friendly relations are not jeopardized by impetuous, juvenile action. We hope that this advice will not be cast aside by any, and that those rooters for the losing team will take defeat like gentlemen and be satisfied with a "wait till next year" attitude. Actually, the suggestions made by the group of student leaders are not meant to be rules, or laws by which every student must abide. What they really amount to is simply a reminder to students to control their emotions and act as c o l l e g e students of normal intelligence. And though just punishment will be provided for violators, the respective student governments hope that none will be necessary. The game will be a tight one, and tempers will flare as the keen rivalry between Tech and Auburn is displayed in Grant Stadium next Saturday. But we hope that students will use common sense and keep the rivalry on a friendly basis. Let the "War Eagles" and "Turkey Buzzards" ring out loudly, but let's be sportsmanlike about it whatever the final score of the game. tittle MaiuOnjCampu* Doctoral Program—A New Academic Cra More than two years of earnest study were culminated this quarter with the initiation of a doctorate program at Auburn, and with this climax a new era in the academic history of API began. Dean Fred Allison of the Graduate School adequately summed up the event with his words in announcing' the program's approval: "A historic moment in the academic growth of API was reached shortly before noon on Tuesday, September 25, when President Draughon gave his official approval for the initiation of a doctoral program at Auburn." Though it is a limited program now, it apparently has a strong, sound foundation which we believe will enable it to develop into one of the finest programs of graduate studies in the South. In its present set-up, the doctoral program can award Ph.D. degrees in only four departments—Zoology, Mathematics, Animal Husbandry and Nutrition, and School Administration. But rather than urge the immediate addition of more departments, we feel that the Steering Committee on the program should be commended for its slow but sure and steady progress. Such an undertaking as this can only succeed if it is approached, as we feel certain it was, from an intelligent, carefully considered Viewpoint. High standards and qualifications must be met. As President Draughon emphasized, "If the graduates cannot be so well trained as to compare favorably with graduates of the best schools of the country, there is no point in our offering doctoral programs." And certainly he is right. If Auburn can- ,not add but one sufficiently qualified department to its doctoral program in the next 100 years, it would be better than to increase the number with departments not on a parallel with those in the leading graduate schools in the country. The Plainsman is sincerely proud of the Auburn administration and faculty members who were in any way responsible for the inauguration of the program of graduate studies at API. The results of their tireless efforts will become more and more evident as the program becomes stronger year by year. 'Experts' Ignore The Solution "A Nation at the Crossroads: Which Way to World Peace?" This was the question on which a group^ of six outstanding men and women addressed the Public Affairs Forum of The Birmingham News last week. In reporting, The News said, "Widely experienced in leading the public and helping shape public thought, the speakers reminded approximately 4,000 listeners that peace in this time of world crisis will be won only through struggle. And that struggle, they said, must be on more than one front." Certainly that is true. The News goes on to report how the question was approached from several angles: "From the standpoint of a lecturer and writer . . . a young man who grew up in Hitler's nazism . . . a leader in public schools . . . a financial writer . . . a diploma^ and former educator . . . an authority on the role of labor in the American economy."* Next The News summed up the addresses and pointed out the main points which the speakers "felt vital to the pursuit of peace." One of the experts expressed a belief that ". . . the building up of military strength is the most effective means toward keeping America out of armed conflict." Another declared that ". . . democracy will wither on the vine if public education falters." But of all the speeches, each of which The News printed in full, not one mentioned what we consider the real and only answer to the present world crisis—Jesus Christ. We have ho doubt in our minds but that He is the only way to world peace. Yet not even one of the outstanding speakers at The News Forum shared this opinion. • It is not our object here to belittle the opinions of the forum's experts; they are free to think as "they choose. We merely wish to point out how pathetic it is to us that on such a panel of experts, from a variety of fields, there was not one who supported Christ as the answer to the world's problems. History shows us that nations which rely absolutely on military strength ultimately meet their downfall for that very reason. Many of the other answers offered by the forum's speakers are good and true, but to us, there is still one that stands far above any of them, and that is Christ. Since time began, men have attempted to solve their problems with every type, make and model of force. But none has ever proved as successful as" the great power that comes only from the Son of God. To us, the question is not "Which Way to World Peace?" The real question is this: "How Can the-World Be Made To Realize that Christ Is the Answer to World Peace?" The world will never have peace until its peoples begin to abide by and teach the principles of Christ. WALTER ALBRITTON Editor MAX HALL Managing Editor Lester Ford ....

Member Associated Collegiate Press Dear Sir: I'd like to answer a question posed by Mr. Herbert White in his column, printed in the October 3rd issue of The Plainsman. First, let's orientate ourselves to the issue by quotingftffr. White. In writing about the Concert-Lecture Committee's bookings for the coming' year, he states: "For the coming year the committee has booked three very good attractions, but as far as the other two a re concerned, we'll string along with the masses and stay at home." After listing the "very good" attractions (which include Miss- G l a d y s Swarthout, long past her prime as a singer, but still fairly photogenic), Mr. White proceeds to those two which he will not attend. "The less desirable attractions," he continues, "are The Players, Incorporated, and Jose Limon and Dance Company. Anybody ever heard of these birds?" This is the question I'd like to answer. I've never heard of "these birds" called The Players, Incorporated, but I'll be at the performance to determine whether they really deserve this anonymity or whether they are a fine, young group struggling toward recognition. I trust Mr. White will grant me that there was a time when neither he nor I had heard of Miss Gladys Swarthout. As for Jose Limon and his fledglings—yes, I've heard of them, and so have thousands of people all over the world including crowned heads before whom they have g i v e n command performances. Also among those who have heard of them (and wanted to see them) can be listed the hundred or so people whom I saw toned away from a Broadway box-office one night.because the Limon performance had been sold out. Let me close with an assurance that I am not a member of the (Continued on page 8) Entered By Nation h By Fred "Cedric" Nichols It seems to me that our nation is in a new period of "inventive mania." This disease is common to all of us. At one time or another we have been guilty of inventing some revolutionary item that we think is second only to suede covered golf clubs and find that it was invented years ago by some guy who had the same brainstorm. There are quite a few inventions that have been duplicated and I feel that they must be brought to the student's attention so as to offset some of this invention overlapping. The first invention that I am going to list is one submitted by Col. L e m u e l Q. Stoopnagle, noted humorist and expert on gyroscopic tendencies of billiard balls in motion. Col. Stoopnagle is given credit for inventing a lint suit that picks up blue serge. Stoopnagle did not market his suit because he couldn't figure out a way to keep the clothing lint separated from the belly button lint that his agents were collecting and storing in the same warehouse. The belly button lint was used as stuffing in a new type pillow and Stoopnagle felt that people wouldn't buy his lint suit if it was made from lint that might be from someone's belly button. Our second invention is taken from a late judge of an Alabama county court who wrote a song about his profession before he died. The name of the judge's song was: "Jurist A Song At Twilight." His invention was a novel approach to the eating and tooth picking problem. Since everybody hates to take the time to use a . toothpick after lunch the judge invented a Cactus Sandwich that will pick your teeth as you eat. This was never successful because a guy was selling reclaimed dental floss at a slightly. lower price. Robert Orben, celebrated author of a book on baby germs entitled, "How to Win Friends and Influenza People," has invented a host of useful items. Among Orben's better inventions is a pen for the French Foreign Legion that writes under sand and a cellophane newspaper for wives who like to see their husbands at breakfast. Orben's ambition is to be as well known as that great Irish inventor— Pat Pending. My only mentionable invention is a cold cream that contains fuzz and is designed to be used by girls who have complexion like a peach. Another one of my inventions is a liquid leg make-up that is sold in curved bottles for girls who have bow legs. At the present time I am trying to invent a new type of bird cage but haven't had any luck so far. However, I have been lecturing to various Audubon, societies about why people should be kind to birds. They must like my lectures because I heard a guy say, "Nichols is lor the birds." by BiMer TIGER LILIES— Players Need Men; Maturity Applauded By JoAnne Lucci Those students who tried* out for roles in the Auburn Players production, "School For Scandal," deserve a big bouquet of Tiger Lilies this, week, but we reserve the right to exclude most of API's male population from the praise. Only four men showed up for the try-outs on October 2 in the Y-Hut, and there are roles for many more boys in the comedy. Out of 6,000 students on the campus, over half of them men, surely more than four have an interest in the field of dramatics. We can but wonder if the same problem exists at other schools; other than at such places as Agnes Scott, Vassar, and Montevallo, we don't believe it does. Parts in the production of the Auburn Players are open to all; students, faculty, and townspeople, with or without experience. Comments on most of the past performances have been favorable, and since it is impossible to produce a play without actors, Auburn men should get on the ball if we are to continue to enjoy a college dramatics organization. A BLOSSOM to maturity: Experts, we have heard, consider independence, a sense of obligation to the human race, persistence, flexibility, patience, creativity, ar-ticulateness and the ability to put ourselves in the .other fellow's shoes as the characteristics .of maturity. To that list, add initiative. To illustrate the point, there was a farmer who boasted' that his dog was the fastest fox hound in the country. One day during a hunt, the dog and the fox outran all of the hunters and disappeared in the woods. The hunting party asked a woodchopper if he had seen a dog and a fox run by. "Wal, yes," the backwoodsman drawled. "Well, how was my dog doing?" ' the farmer asked, a note of pride in his voice. "Yore dog was doing pretty good the last I seed him," was the reply. "He was just a leetle bit ahead." MORAL: the fox took the initiative and got himself out of a tight spot by turning the tables on the dog. A little bit of initiative applied in our daily living could help all of us, too. The next time an opportunity presents itself, put a little more gumption, spunk, drive, push, or whatever you want to call it, into the task, and watch the results.

Grease Monkey: "The meter was clicking, but I wasn't." Kissing Jim Folsom Hard Man To Beat By Herbert White As the national election time draws near a great int e r e s t is manifested in politics. Already throughout Alabama t h e r e is much speculation about the next governor's race. Soon after Gordon Persons won the governor's chair in 1950, Ala-bamians began predicting who would enter the 1954 scramble, and who would be the victor. A great deal of this talk has centered a r o u n d ex-Governor James E. "Kissin' Jim" Folsom, who could not succeed himself in 1950 because of a Constitutional prohibition. Even though Big Jim has repeatedly said that he would not be a candidate for any other public office, very few take him seriously. Folsom is still recognized by leading politicians as a great vote-getter. They remember how in 1946 he stumped the State with his famous "Strawberry Pickers" and picked up enough votes to sweep him into office. It is also remembered that Alabama received more undesirable publicity during his administration than at any other time. Since his election to office Folsom has figured in many campaigns. In only one of these elections has he been successful; that was in 1947, when he opposed the Constitutional amendment that would have authorized the legislature to call itself into special sessions. But in every election since, Folsom has been on the short side. Even when governor in 1948 Big Jim was unable to get enough votes to make himself a delegate to the national Democratic convention. Also, while he was Alabama's Chief Executive, his picked candidate against John Spark-man was defeated. Added to Folsom's list of unsuccessful tries are the Boswell amendment substitute and the income tax amendment that the (Continued on page 8) ' Enlightened Relations Activities Bear Fruit At Auburn-Tech Meeting By Max Hall , It was a pleasure to note the mutual affability with which student leaders from Auburn and Georgia Tech got together this week. Pleasant intercollegiate relations, such as those exhibited at the meeting, certainly speak well for the enlightened program' of pre-game planning which Hall hatches and woflst. Since this and other schools have been following for the past few years. Not too many g r i d seasons ago, the Auburn- Tech conflict was one of the sore spots on the SEC schedule. As the zero hour approached, everybody 111 in Atlanta and ™* t h e o u t l y i ng territory b a t - tened down the prepared for the the Tech student body rivaled (and for that matter still rivals) our own where spirit is concerned, anything was likely to happen. Years of rat cap thefts, water battles, shouted insults, and street fighting between students finally bore fruit at the 1948 meeting of the two schools, but the fruit took the extremely bitter form of a near-riot in Grant Stadium. Since that incident, students from the two schools have met every year to work out problems concerning spectator conduct at the game. And we'd like to emphasize that it has been a student project. The administrations of both schools have been interested, of course, but they have left the spadework to undergraduates. So far, student leadership has proven equal to the task. Unpleasant incidents have been held to a very respectable minimum since the joint meeting began, and present relations indicate even smoother sailing in the future. One of the most refreshing things about this week's meeting was the way in which both delegations faced up to the behavior-ial shortcomings of their respective student bodies. There were no undue claims of innocence from either side, and the delegates approached possible game-time crises from an objective point of view. As hosts^f or the game, the Georgia Tech group naturally had to assume most of the responsibility for arrangements, and they did so with commendable willingness and efficiency. Given a reasonable amount of cooperation from visiting Auburnites, there is no reason why the present record of good relations shouldn't continue un-soiled. 'We have listened interestedly to the tales of Tech games of other days. Yarns about classic insults and unforgetable fights make good listening during these cool nights, but personally, we prefer things a bit more peaceful. Every API student should exhibit his best manners in Atlanta, and cooperate fully with the recommendations stemming from the meeting. That's the Auburn way of doing things, and we're sure that oiir student body will come through, as usual, in fine style. Sally: "Did you enjoy your canoe ride with Jerry?" Sue: "No. He just hugged the -shore all evening." "Twin beds are all very well," said the blushing bride to the salesman in the furniture department. "But there is no use buying them until we get the twins." She: Do you believe that tight clothes stop circulation? He: Certainly not. The tighter a woman's clothes, the more she's in circulation. Too many people are like buttons— always popping off at the wrong time. i * * "Yes, I know he's thin," said the new Lieutenant, looking over one in the latest crop of replacements. "Tell you what, Sergeant, let him clean the rifles." "OK," said the Sergeant, "but who's going to pull him through?" Catchy Names Can Make Fortunes; Actors Change Titles To Gain Fame By Charles Sullivan Have you ever heard of Doris Kappelhoff, John Harris, or Izzy Dempsey? Perhaps you know them better as Doris Day, John Derek, and Kirk Douglas. We like to think that our names do not affect our careers, but in many professions a short, easy to pronounce name is money in the bank. In the entertainment world, you have to know a person extremely well to call him by his real name. John Harris is not very romantic, as names go, so John changed his surname to Derek and has been raking in money ever since. A politician considers his name as an asset or a liability, depending on the district or area he wishes to represent. A candidate named O'Shannon would have a head start in a Boston election, but would face considerable odds in many areas offcNew York City. What would you think if our Secretary of State were named Ivan Panyuskin? Perhaps he could plan and control our foreign affairs better than Dean Acheson, yet Ivan would probably be under considerable suspicion in his dealings with Russia. The names of Presidents of the United States have usually been fairly simple and easy for English speaking people to pronounce. On the basis of names alone, Stevenson is the choice over Eisenhower. We will have reached a new and better era when what a man can do is more important than his name. In too many cases the name makes the man, instead of vice-versa. Progress has been made along this line, but most of us are still name conscious. Some names just sound better than others. Then there is the famous case of Oscar Abjerbiaggiasian, a grocer in Los Angeles, who went to court to change his name. What did he change it to? Why Joseph Abjerbiaggiasian, of course. Joe said his friends couldn't pronounce Oscar. Whether a Modzelewski or a Zybowiscz tackles harder than a Smith or Jones, is a tough question. Many sportswriters tend to favor players with an unusual name or nickname. Le-roy Labat, LSU fullback, better known as the Black Stallion of the Bayous, is an example of a good player cashing in on an eye-catching nickname. For sheer sound appeal and vigor in their names, the Chicago Cardinals quarterback, Trippi, and the Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra, lead the sports list. These names stick in ones' mind and are easy to pronounce. Practically all surnames or family names have a meaning. For instance, the most printable definition of Sullivan is blue-eyed. By spending several hundred hours searching and researching in the library, you can discover what your name means. In case you had rather spend money than time, send the usual 10-dollar money order to us and we will tell you what you are. If you do not like your name, just remember, a rose by any other name would have just as many thorns.

COLLEGE X: L SCANNING THE PLAINS FOOTS SPORTS EDITOR Laney Dudley Spence, Ace Auburn Punter Doubles For Vince Dooley At QB - Quarterback Dudley Spence, in the fore for his second year as Coach Shug Jordan's kicking prodigy, had for three years spent the better part of Auburn's football games watching other quarterbacks direct the Tigers in the attack. Through the opening Maryland affair and into the Ole Miss ado, the McComb, Miss., senior performed* his specialist task magnifi- ' cently. When regular play-caller Vince Dooley was injured near the end of the Tiger^Reb first period, Spence was called upon for additional work—bringing Auburn from behind to possibly maneuver a Tiger victory. He temporarily accomplished the former half of Auburn's1 intentions,by bringing the Tigers up to 7-all with an eight-yard pass to Capt. Lee Hayley. Spence had a very busy day. In addition to passing for 101 yards (14 of 22 aerials completed) and directing his backs through a rugged Rebel defense for more than a century of yardage, he punted 13 times for 490 yards. His 37.6 punting, average is excellent considering he had one kick blocked (minus 12 yards) and had two sail past the goalline which automatically subtracted 20 yards from each kick. Though Spence may return to his understudy role upon the recovery of Dooley, he has proven to Auburnites that he is more than a punting expert and can execute ball-handling chores with adeptness. In all probability, Spence will start tomorrow's game against the Wofford Terriers, and this seems to be only justice for a man who has persevered to a coveted tarting berth. —Three Games Tomorrow Pit Six API Foes In this day of offense tinted football, trying to surmise various teams' true strength via the comparison of scores usually results in a dead end. This method of prognostigation is generally regarded as one used only by the foolish. But sometimes, the feverish football fan runs astray. An indication of how Auburn will fare the remainder of the season is what Auburnites seek to derive from the outcomes of three football games involving six Tiger opponents tomorrow. Perhaps top interest is turned to the Georgia Tech-Tulane struggle in Atlanta. If the Golden Tornado can surpass the Green-ies, it carries into the Auburn-Tech game next week a skein of 17 games without defeat. To add to the expected intensity of this game, though it be a week away, Auburn has been winless in Atlanta since 1940. Tulane follows Tech on the Auburn schedule. Florida and Clemson promise some sort of fireworks in Gainesville. The Gators, their homecoming foe being Auburn on November 1, are figured to ease by the Carolina Tigers, another late season Auburn foe, who were last week smothered 28-0, by Maryland. A third "indicator," a battle of two undefeated elevens, is Maryland vs. Georgia in Athens. Aside from the six-point verdict by the Terps over, the Plainsmen, Coach Jordan turns a searching eye toward the Bulldogs, whom he helped tutor for four years (1946-50), for comparative information. The Bulldogs hold the better half of an ancient Auburn-Georgia rivalry dating back to 1892. Besides this, Jordan hopes to avenge the 46-14 'Dog decision of last year and place the Tiger on a winning ticket where they haven't been since 1942, in the Georgia series. —Why Not Hygiene As A Five-Hour Course? The physical education department features a course from which could be derived much benefit if it were presented in a manner to put it on par with other important courses in a student's curriculum. The course, loathed by all who are subjected to the way it is crammed into the required curriculum without credit, is Hygiene, or personal and community health. Hygiene proper is a good course. But the manner in which API requires Hygiene forces it to be the most ill-considered course in the school. This is not a reflection on the physical education department or any of the instructors therein. Should Hygiene be made a five-hour required subject which could be completed in a quarter, interest would rise and the course would be 100 per cent more effective than it is now. Any school or department could easily afford to dispense with some course of equal or lesser importance than Hygiene, insert this beneficial course in its place, and all Auburn would be much happier. . , Howard Wins Praise For Olympic Work Auburn Athletic Director Jeff Beard was proud of Tiger trainer Kenny Howard's selection as Olympic trainer several months back.

Auburn Tripped By Ole Miss 20-7; Spence Shines In Reserve Role By John Raines Auburn succumbed to an SEC darkhofse in Memphis, Saturday as Ole Miss capitalized on the presence of Lady Luck and the abilities of four superior Rebel backs for a 20-7 victory before 14,000 spectators. It was the first conference game of the year for the Plainsmen and the only SEC game of the day. Vince Dooley, Auburn's leading split-T operator, was1 sidelined with a twisted knee in the first quarter after being tackled by center Jim Ingram, and that factor, plus the handicap-of a blocked punt in the first there minutes, spoiled whatever chances Auburn might have had. Ole Miss quickly converted the blocked punt into a touchdown and held a 7-0 lead until Auburn evened the score in the second quarter. BOBBY JORDAN set the Auburn scoring wheels in motion by intercepting a Jimmy Lear pass and scampering 27 yards to the Ole Miss 18. Charlie Hataway, in three tries moved the ball to the 11. Rushed by the hard-charging Rebels, Dudley Spence retreated about 10 yards and fired an aerial to Captain Lee Hayley. It was good for three yards, and a first down. • Hataway tried twice to dent the Ole Miss forward wall, but didn't gain an inch. Then, on third down, Spence calmly discovered Hayley all alone on the left side and whipped an eight-yard payoff pitch. Automatic Joe Davis made the PAT and the scoreboard read 7-7 with 12 minutes remaining in the quarter. HOWEVER the talented Rebels stormed right back, with Wilson Dilliard and Allen Muir-head pacing the drive, and moved 76 yards for what proved to be the winning marker. In the final semester, Ole Miss traveled 44 yards for the clincher. Outstanding defensive honors this week again go to Jack Lock-lear, who is proving more and more in every game that Coach Jordan's expectations of him were justified. If Locklear should show up as good in the next eight games, he would without doubt deserve All-SEC honors. Bill Turnbeaugh's radar system was on the beam and he again showed his great skill at stopping enemy thrusts. Offensive honors go to Dudley Spence, who stepped into Vince Dooley's shoes at quarterback and passed 22 times, connecting for 14 and thusly gained 101 yards. Chesterfield To Sponsor Pick The Winner Contest Chesterfield cigarettes campus representatives George Huffman and Tom Caldwell anounced this week that a football "Pick the Winner" contest would be held on the campus. To enter, students should write Selective Service Exam Announced The Selective Service College Qualification Test will be given on the API campus Thursday, December 4, 1952. Any selective service registrant who is a full-time college student may apply for and take the three hour written examination. The purpose of the test is to provide evidence for the use of local draft boards in considering deferment of a registrant from military service as a student. The results of the quiz will be sent to the applicant's local board to aid in determining his aptitude for continued college work. To be eligible to take the test, an applicant must be a selective service registrant who intends to request occupational deferment as a student, satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or graduate, leading to a degree, and not previously have taken the test. , Those intending to take the examination should consult any Local Selective Service Board for additional information and application blanks.

The Plainsmen, their victory being more significant since two frosh standouts (Ray Mercer and Bob Scarbrough) are on the varsity, were led to the upset win by backs Bill Burbank and Fob James and linemen Jim i Crouch and Ben Lightfoot. James, the second of his family's notable Auburn athletes, in. itiated the evening's scoring by speeding through guard with a Burbank hand-off for 82 yards and an Auburn touchdown. After . , , . • ., . « touchdown, missing the conversion try, Au-1 burn was ahead with 10 minutes remaining in the second period. THE CRIMSONS, were quick in retaliation. Starting near the end of the second stanza on the 49, Alabama drove the remaining 51 yards without losing the ball to their only touchdown. Troy's Albert Elmore sparkled by spearheading this drive and culminating it with a one-yard burst through the line for the score. On Elmore's conversion, the Elephants carried a one-point margin through the third quarter. Auburn decided the contest at the opening' of the final period when James received a 22-yard f Burbank pass for the second Tiger touchdown. To set up the pay off play, Burbank returned an intercepted Alabama pass 53 yards to the Crimson 22. Burbank's drop-kick conversion concluded the day's point-making and it was Auburn 13, Alabama 7. INDIVIDUALLY, J a m e s was the evening's leading ground-gainer with 97 yards in eight carries.

Harriers Practice For Distance Runs With the return of fall, scantily clad, spring-legged runners again gallop over the Plains and adjoining back roads of Auburn defying pneumonia and fallen arches with equal abandon. Coach'Wilbur Hutsell, the dean of Southern track coaches, starts another chapter in the track his tory of Auburn with the call for cross country runners. Cross country is the fall proving ground of the spring's distance men. FACED WITH the loss of four lettermen from last year's harrier squad, Hutsell will welcome any late aspirants who would like to participate in the grueling sport. Coach Hutsell can be contacted at the field house any afternoon after two o'clock. Returning from l a s t year's strong squad are four boys who can run with the best of the SEC. They are Ewart Atkins, "Bunky" Christopher, James Atkins, and Bob Stine. The brightest new prospect so far is Red Holman, a junior out for the first time. HUTSELL HAS held the boys down to light work-outs so far, but he is pleased with their progress, and seems confident of another good season. Auburn's first meet will be a morning affair with the Florida Gators here on November 4.

Next t o Bank of Auburn •&, for M.E.'s Varied needs of 71 DuPont plants pose a host of original power problems Heart of Du Pont's manufacturing program is t he power plant. To make some 1200 products and product lines the Company operates 71 plants. Most require steam and electric generation, water supply and treatment, heat exchangers, piping systems and related services. The designing of these power plants, their erection and operation are all in the hands of engineers, t he great majority being mechanical engineers. But this is not the most interesting thing about power work here. What challenges the highest skills of the engineer a t Du Pont is t he wealth of original problems constantly arising. Power requirements vary enormously, not only from plant to plant but from time to time. Process operating pressures may range from over 15,000 psi. to 2 mm of mercury, electrical requirements Goorge S. MahoHay, B.S. in M.E., Penn State '52 (right), B. S. Norling, B.S. in ELE., Washington State '24, and A. S. Noell, Jr., B.S. in E.E., Duke '51, discuss the power requirements of a new processing-area. . . This powerhouse for a nylon plant at Martinsville, Va., was designed by Du Pont engineers. It houses two 135,000 Ib.lhr. boilers and two 7,500 KW extraction turbine generators. from as low as 7,000 to higher than 1 million KWH/day, and temperatures from -360° to over 3,500°F. Here are examples of recent "off-the- beaten-path" power problems. 1. A plant using natural gas as its basic fuel produces a waste oil of variable hydrocarbon composition and a waste gas with only 110 Btu/cu. ft. DuPont M.E.'s designed burners, fans, boilers and combustion controls to permit use of all three fuels for generating steam. 2. At another plant 20,000 gpm of cooling water were to be drawn from & nearby river. Since the water level fluctuated 40 feet between normal and flood stages, it was necessary to evaluate several plans for pump-house constructions against cooling towers. The engineers installed a unique pump house whose submerged vertical pumps operate even when the structure is entirely under water. Aside from design and construction, Du Pont mechanical engineers concern themselves with such related subjects as economic evaluations, equipment selection, heat balances, load calculations, waste heat boilers. For example, where various process temperatures from 300° to 600°F. were required, Dowtherm was selected as the supply medium at the rate of 35 million Btu/hr. The engineers installed a central system for primary supply because it calculated to be more economical than separately located vaporizers. On the operational side, M.E.'s supervise the supply of power and services. They establish performance standards and analyze equipment for « results, cost and maintenance. Edward W. Garrison (right) M.S. in M.E., California Tech '47, and Byron R. Brown (center), B.S. in M.E., New Hampshire '49, supervise adjustment of furnace conditions in a study of power-plant efficiency. Whether viewed from the design and construction side or the operational side, t he diversity of Du Pont's manufacture offers a wealth of opportunities in power work for the mechanical engineer.

A breakdown of the figures show that the freshman class is, as usual, the largest group on the campus with 2,287. Of that number, 1,529 are first quarter freshmen. COEDS will be pleased to note that the ratio is still in their favor, with, only 1,507 women on the campus while there are 4,888 men.

What's more, I have often found their selections subject to censure; but, what with the dearth of decent entertainment hereabouts (not to mention the obvious limi-tatiohs as to finances and artist ^availability facing the committee), I can be counted among those present on almost every occasion. I do not censure Mr. White for attacking an Auburn-sponsored project; on the contrary, it is his duty as a member of the school newspaper to do so when such action is warranted. But I do wish he would investigate his complaints a little more thoroughly and, more importantly, I wish he would realize his power as a member of the press and not influence our students and faculty to i stay home from the relatively few performances which might easily be found to supply the type of entertainment we not only need, but can learn to enjoy. • Sincerely yours, H. E. Metz, English Department Dear Sir: It is with great enjoyment that I read your last two issues of The Plainsman. It,is a fine publication and I know it is widely read. I would like to state that I especially enjoyed the articles by Sullivan and Nichols in the first issue very much, as they appealed tc my particular sense of humor. I was just wondering why the paper doesn't have some space devoted to student want-ads. Perhaps it would not be worth the trouble, but I sincerely believe there would be a great response.

Not only is the value of a college annual greatly enhanced when all students have their pictures in it, but these pictures have a very practical value which we in this office see almost every week. Each year we receive special sections of the Glomerata which carry individual pictures of the students. We follow the practice (and I believe this practice is followed in the offices of other deans) of cutting out the pictures of students in this school and pasting them on their permanent record cards. This helps us greatly in remembering the students. And, our remembering a student may be responsible for his being considered for a job. Quite frequently we are called on to recommend some of our students or former students for a particularly attractive job. I can remember the names of only a small fraction of our present 'students, not to mention former students, but I can remember most of their faces. So, when I am asked to recommend a person for a job, I go to our files and begin looking over the permanent record cards to locate someone whose record is in line with what the employer wants. I will probably select 10 to 15 such cards, but if a picture of the student is not on his card, I may not remember him. It is rather hard to recommend a person for a job, regardless of his record, if you can't remember him.
