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.

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.

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.

AUBURN ALABAMA
IN STATE CONTEST
API Maid Wins Alternate Cotton Title
• By Charles Sullivan
Mary Elizabeth Gregory, junior in animal husbandry at
API, was recently named a l t e r n a t e Alabama Maid of Cotton
for 1953 at the State Fair in Birmingham.
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 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.

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.

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.

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

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."

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.

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

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.

"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.

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."

Coffeeville Student
Wins Ag Scholarship
George M. 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.

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.

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

Auburn Frosh Top 'Bama, Battle Georgia Bullpups Here Today
By J o h n Raines
Coach Dick McGowen's Auburn freshmen defeated Ala­bama's
Baby Elephants 13-7 in Tuscaloosa Friday night be­fore
2,000 p a r t i s a n fans, to become t h e first Baby Tiger team
to t u r n the trick in t h e series history.
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. Billy Whitten, the form­er
Ramsay fullback, lugged the
pigskin 16 times for 48 Plainsman
yards." , .; \. •: .'> :':
Aside from directing the Tigers
competently at the signal-calling
post, Burbank completed three of
five • aerials for 22 yards and a

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

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.

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.

Enrollment Swells To 6,395 Mark;
Engineers Lead With 1,499 Students
By JoAnne Lucci '
API enrollment has reached 6,395, according to Registrar
Charles Edwards, and could still possibly reach the 6,400 mark
predicted.
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.

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.

H. E. Metz,

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 .

Of that total, 446 are vet­erans

the remainder are World War II

OUT OF THIS total enrollment,

ed in the Glomerata. 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.

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

for all Democrats in
Auburn and vicinity who desire
membership. In this respect, I
would like to commend the Stu­dent
Senate for its policy of not
approving political organizations
as campus organizations. We are
an organization containing stu­dents,
faculty members, Auburn
townspeople and other Lee Coun­tians,
who are Democrats and
have no desire to be labeled as a
campus organization.
I am looking forward to the
coming election and the various
campus programs to be sponsored
by the Young Democrats as well
as the Eisenhower supporters.
Sincerely yours,

New Heating Plant
Work Under Way
A new heating system costing
approximately $50,000 is being in­stalled
by the Department of
Buildings and Grounds, according
to Sam F. Brewster, director.
The buildings to be connected to
the central heating plant are
Alumni Gym, Tichenor Hall, all
of the girls' dormitories, and the
Union Building. The high pres­sure
steam line is part of a heating
plant which will utilize three 300
horsepower Erie City steam boil­ers.
Alumni Gym, Tichenor Hall,
the girls' quadrangle and the old
Theta Chi house formerly had
their own boilers, all of which
will be discontinued for heating
purposes.

KISSING JIM

Even though Folsom's views in
these many elections have been
cast down by the voters, we,
nevertheless, contend that if he
put all his resources and energy
behind a single issue he would
be very, very hard to beat.

NOSE THROAT. f
and Accessory Organs not Adversely
Affected by Smoking Chesterfields
FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED
ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE
f
A responsible consulting organization has
reported1 the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff on the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.
A group Of p e o p l e from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount of Chesterfields— 10 to 40 a day.
4 5% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con­tinually
from one to thirty years for an average of
10 years each.
At t h e beginning and at the end of the six-months
period each smoker was given a, thorough
examination, including X-ray pictures, by the
medical specialist and his assistants. The exam­ination
covered the sinuses as well as the nose,
ears and throat.
The medical s p e c i a l i s t , after a thorough exam­ination
of every member of the group, stated:
" I t is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and
accessory organs of all participating subjects ex­amined
by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided."
