Full Sports Coverage In Second Section Of This Issue VOL. 79 Some Fraternities Fail To Comply With Plans Of Spirit Committee By War Eagle In a determined effort to bolster student spirit, a surp r i s e pep r a l l y was held Wednesday night, and* from my p e r c h it looked and sounded l i k e a most successful one. Spirit has not been too ent h u s i a s t i c of late, and it might be that the mid-week rally has affected Auburn students i n t h e " r i g h t " way. But even at. the best rallies, it seems that some few have to always botch things up. At least two fraternities refused to break up chapter meetings and declined to cooperate with the hundreds of other students who considered the rally worthy of their attendance. Not only did, they fail to cooperate, but they did so in direct opposition to the expressed request of the Interfraternity Council. I've seen a good bit of unco-operation in my time, but not when cooperation was more needed. For Homecoming to be so close at hand, I've seldom seen campus spirit as low as it's been here during the past few weeks. This weekend is the one time in the year, if no other, when the Auburn campus should raise the roof and get behind the football team. I understand that fraternity chapter meetings are important affairs, but I can't help but feel that the two fraternities that refused to break up their meetings Wednesday night were thinking more of themselves than of the school spirit. Apparently^ the Spirit Committee is trying to pep up the campus spirit, and it's up to all the students to contribute their full support. Without the full cooperation of all, Auburn cannot have the kind of school spirit I've seen here for so many years. Maybe I've just got a peculiar notion, but I kinda feel that everyone ought to get out and lend a hand at the pep rallies. Bulldog To Be Burned At Pep Roily Thursday Auburn's a n n u a l torchlight parade and "Burn The Bulldog" pep rally will start from Ross Square at 7 Thursday night. Each fraternity and Magnolia hall division is urged to supply torches, noisemakers and mock bulldogs. Coordinators will work with each group to be responsible for the group's actions and to insure safety. Paraders will march through town and journey to a bonfire on the field below the student activities building, and a pep rally will follow the bulldog burning. Students are asked to take sensible safety precautions. At 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, a pep rally will be held at the Ralston Hotel in Columbus. Fans Urged To Walk College and city officials joined today in appealing to students, faculty members and townspeople to walk to the Homecoming game In Cliff Hare Stadium tomorrow. Since a near-record crowd is expected to attend, parking space around the stadium will be at a premium. By leaving their cars at home, local residents will relieve tarffic congestion and help prevent delays and accidents.

DEFENSIVE DEMON Deans Approve Pre-Registration; Overload Enrollment To Be Delayed By Tom Duke The Council of Deans approved dales for fall pre-registra-tion at a recent regular meeting. In an announcement issued after the meeting, Dr. M. C. Huntley, dean of faculties, revealed that pre-registration would start on Monday, Nov. 17, and would follow procedure similar to that used during previous quarters. The major change in procedure day and Friday, Nov. 20-21, and will be to the effect that students freshmen, Monday, Tuesday and will not be permitted to register Wednesday, November 24-26. for an overload during the pre-registration period. Registration for overloads will be held after students return to school for the winter quarter. THE OVERLOAD change was made because students do not know whether they will be eligi-abie to carry additional hours at the time of pre-registration. This leads to the scheduling of many courses by ineligible students, which in turn causes some courses to be closed out during pre-registration. When the ineligible students drop extra hours after receiving their grades, courses are taught with a smaller number of students than they could have acr commodatcd if punched cards had not been needlessly pulled during pre-ragistration. IN HIS announcement D e an Huntley stated, "We feel that we can better protect the interests of the majority of students by delaying registration for an overload." No student will be allowed to register for an overload during the pre-registration period or the regular registration period on January 2, 1953. Students may clear the addition of overload during the first three days of the official c li a n g c-in-registration period January 5-7 without payment of the change fee, but the lcgular overload fee of $2.00 per credit hour1 will be assessed. PRE-REGISTRATION dales for a normal quarter-hour load will ie; seniors—Monday, Nov. 17; juniors, Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 18-19; • sophomores—Thurs-ed 20,000 spectators. Deadeye Dudley Spence, the McComb, Miss., senior will answer the call to lead the Plainsmen from his quarterback position. Spence, who leads SEC passers with a 60.9 per cent completion average, has connected on 53 of 87 passes for 682 yards and four touchdowns in six games. Against Wofford, he tied a conference mark by completing 11 passes in a row. THE MAROON'S JACK Parker, Spence's counterpart at quarterback, heads Coach Murray Warmath's charges and is the pri- Campus Fund Drive Now In Full Swing The All-Campus Chest Drive, sponsored by the Drives Committee of the Student Executive Cabinet, is being held Thursday through Saturday of this week. A goal of $1,000 has been set for the drive. The funds will be divi ded among, such charities as American H e a r t Association, World Student Service Fund, API Student Loan Fund, and Alabama Community Chest. No other fund raising effort will be made this ytear. Collection boxes are set up at Main Gate, Thach Hall, Cary Hall, Comer Haii, and in all dormitories. The large barometer built by the Builder's Guild in Ross Square shows the progress of the drive. Student Convocations Set Two student convocations will be held during National education week. Scheduled for Thach Auditorium, the meetings will include education juniors, seniors and graduate students on Thursday morning at 10, and members of the lower classes at 9 a.m. Friday. mary objective of the Plainsman defense. Parker currently leads the conference in scoring and ranks third nationally. Spence has at his command a trio of powerful runners to perform the ball-carrying duties. Charlie "Big Boy" Littles, Charlie Hataway, and Bobby Freeman constitute the starting Auburn backfield. BILL TURNBEAUGH, the Tu-cumcari, N.M., giant, who is Auburn's All-America candidate, is counted upon to wreck Mississippi State's strong ground attack from his left tackle position. Of late, Turnbeaugh's had plenty of help from Guard Bill Kilpatrick in halting enemy runners. In six games this season, the Maroons have broken even with wins over Arkansas State, Kentucky, and North Texas State. Losses have been inflicted by Tennessee, Alabama, and Tulane. Last week in New Orleans, the Maroons lead Tulane 14-13 at the half, only to fall to a Greenie rally for a 34-21 loss. CAPT. LEE HAYLEY, who has caught as many touchdown passes as anyone in the Big Twelve (17 receptions for 327 yards and four tallies), combines with right ends Bill Larimore and Jim Hall, both outstanding sophomores, to give Spence adequate aerial targets. Maroon fullback Joe Fortunato has helped pile-drive State into the list of America's top offensive teams. Fortunato was an All-SEC linebacker last year and plays both offense and defense. COACH WARMATH, an all-conference performer at Tennessee in 1934, came to Mississippi State this year after spending three years as head line coach under Army's Earl "Red" Blaik. He is a native of Humboldt, Tenn. HAVING A GREAT season as Auburn's defensive right end is Jack Langford, senior from Griffin, Ga. A converted back, Langford has been folding up enemy interference like an accordion, and has come in for a highly creditable share of the tackles. I Student Leaders From API-Bama To Meet Monday Fourteen Auburn students and two administrative representatives will travel to Tuscaloosa Monday for a conference with student leaders at the University of Alabama. The meeting, an annual affair since the resumption of athletic relations between the schools, will work out details for the Auburn- 'Bama game in Birmingham November 29. The Auburn delegation will depart early Monday morning and arrive on the university campus shortly before noon. The API group will have dinner in various fraternity houses on the Bama campus, and will return to Auburn Monday night.

The sale will be held in the lobby of Samford Hall, between the hours of 8-12 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m. Ellis stated. 2-A—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, Nov. 7, 1952 i Auburn Alumni Association Grows As Services To Graduates Increase By Gay Hogan The Auburn Alumni Association, since its beginning in 1898, has developed from a two-man p a r t - t i m e project into a full time job for six staff members and an eight member adm i n i s t r a t i v e staff. The Alumni Association was reorganized in 1945 as its field for work was increased, and as the number oL alumni to be served grew, 'me personnel now includes an executive secretary, an editor of the Alum news, and four office workers. The executive s t a ff consists of a president, an executive committee of six, plus the past president of the Association, who serves ex officio. THE ANNUAL business meeting, traditionally held on Homecoming Day each fall, will be called mainly this year to elect officers for the coming two-year term. With the Saturday election of officers, William C. Sugg, the immediate president, will automatically asume the position of ex-officio for the coming two years, and another executive staff will be selected.

To foster and encourage services to the state through programs, enlarged educational enterprises, and services of API. THE ALUM NEWS is the Association's biggest means of fulfilling these three goals. Edited by Ed Crawford, the Alumnews is mailed free of charge each month to 22,500 graduates to inform them of activities of fellow classmen, as well as organizational, social, sports and administrative activities on the campus. It is also the Alumnews policy to publish news concerning the three branches of the college— Instruction, Extension, and Research. THE EDITOR is responsible for editing all material which comes to him from these various sources, and he is also responsible for the layout, style and format of the paper. A monthly publication, the Alumnews is supported almost entirely by membership dues, with little financial aid from the college. With more help from the alumni the paper could be issued completely independent of the college. For $100 an alumnus can have a life membership; or if he wishes, he can pay on the installment plan—not less than $20 each year for not more than five consecutive years. Regular membership dues are $5 a year. ALUMNI CLUBS do their part in keeping the alumni in touch with their alma mater. Clubs supporting the Alumni Association are required by the constitution and by-laws to membership in the National Association. This requirement provides funds for the National Association to maintain its Auburn's Alpha Phi Omega Chapter Operates Non-protit Book Exchange By Les Ford Since its founding, Auburn's Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega has been one of the leading chapters of the national organization, as well as one of the outstanding service organizations on the campus. Alpha Phi Omage was founded at LaFayette College on December 16, 1925. Shortly there after, the third chapter was formed en the API campus, but due to a mixup in the records, the chapter was named Delta rather than Gamma. Since that time the organization has grown into the largest national service fraternity, with 258 active chapters. The organization is made up of students who have had experience in scouting, attained a 2.0 overall scholastic average, and who receive enjoyment by rendering service to others. At present, •there are 25 active members in Delta chapter with Bill Parks as president and Dave Loiry, Tom Radney, Marvin Barron, Denny Ray, and DeWayne McCauley serving in the other elective positions. IN PROMOTING such projects as the student book exchange, blood campaigns, scout troops, ugly man contests, and freshmen orientation guidance, Auburn's Alpha Phi Omega has become will known for its services rendered both on campus and off. Under the directorship of faculty advisor Prof. A. L. Thomas, a charter member of Delta, the chapter is fast gaining a reputation as one of the strongest of the 258. Delta Chapter has installed five other chapters on surrounding campuses, including fraternities at Emory, Howard, and Georgia Tech. Next on the installation agenda will be the formal initiation of a chapter on the campus of Tus-kegee Institute which will require the Auburn degree team to memorize the ritual. IN THE PAST Delta Chapter has sponsored many campus projects, but, at the present it is chiefly engaged in sponsoring the non-profit book exchange and the annual "Ugliest Man on the Campus" contest, proceeds of which po to such objectives as the bronze plaque which the group plans to attach to the lathe in the near future. it staff and to provide means that .until! his death in 1948. the larger Auburn Clubs help the smaller obtain the same services. Plans for the Alumni sojourn on the campus include reunion dinners for the Class of '02, the Class of '09, and the Class of '27, as well 3F other group parties during the weekend. An open house for all Alumni has been set for Friday night, and the annual business meeting of the Association will take place in Langdon Hall on Saturday morning. Duties As Hostess, Mother, Wife Occupy Time Of API's First Lady By Tarn Duke » Auburn's gracious "first lady," Mrs. Caroline Draughon, will have a full weekend welcoming many old friends and alumni who will be among the great influx of former Au-b u r n i t e s expected to visit the P l a i n s for t h e 1952 Homecoming activities. But it'll be no new experience for the President's wife. She's busy the year round presiding over a multitude of social functions for the college and acting as hostess to dozens of official Visitors. Yet despite her official duties, Mrs. Draughon finds the time for her two children, and to be a capable companion on many of. Dr. Draughon's fishing and hunting trips. MRS. DRAUGHON is a native of Orrville, in Dallas County, and she received her education at Selma High School and Huntingdon. While at Huntingdon she did work in foreign languages while majoring in home ecoonmics, but according to her husband, she "learned all the home economics she knows by experimenting on me." Dr. and Mrs. Draughon first met at Auburn during a summer sessions but their courtship did not begin until later, when Dr. Draughon was principal in an Orrville school. They were married after a two-year courtship. IN 21 YEARS of married life, Auburn has been the only residence of the Draughon's. They moved here when Dr. Draughon received a temporary appointment in the history department, and remained here during his years as a professor and as administrative assistant to the late Dr. L. N. Duncan, API president Mrs. Draughon confesses that she was a little awed by the sudden increase in her responsibilities when they moved into the presidential mansion following Dr. Draughon's appointment as API chief executive. The biggest social events Mrs. Draughon is called on to handle are the graduation receptions at the end of each quarter. Refreshments for these gatherings are arranged by the School of Home THE VILLAGE First In sportswear Economics and college dining hall personnel, but all other details are the responsibility of Mrs. Draughon and Mrs. Wallace Tid-more, receptionist in the president's office. BESIDES FISHING and hunting, Mrs. Draughon's top interests are sewing, gardening, and reading. She likes to travel with Dr. Draughon on his t r i ps throughout the state whenever possible'.

Construction was begun late last spring by Batson-Cook Co., contractors for the project. Obstacles encountered on the job included moving more than 60,000 cubic feet of earth before actual building could start, but, as the picture shows, concrete pouring is now in full swing. THIS SKETCH IS the architect's conception of the edifice which will be available to students and alumni upon completion of the Union Building project. The building will occupy some 76,000 square feet of floor space, and will house a ballroom, Alumni Offices, faculty club space, a snack bar, and recreation facilities for students. The cost of furniture and equipment will run the total tariff for the building well over $1,000,000.

AUBURN GRILLE API's Physical Plant Continues Rapid Expansion By Charles Sullivan With the recent^ completion of five new women's dorms and the inauguration of Union Building construction, Auburn's multi-million dollar building program nears realization. Evidences of further progress toward "A Greater Auburn" may be seen near the Women's Quadrangle and in Graves Centre. Workmen are remodeling and enlarging the Women*^; Dining Hall at the south end of the quadrangle. Plainsman Dining Hall, which serves meals for API athletes, has recently been built in the Graves Centre area. The five new coed dormitories are located in an area about 200 yards south of the four quadrangle dorms. Approximately 480 girls moved into their new homes at the start of the fall quarter. UNION BUILDING construction was slowed considerably by the steel strike last spring, according to Sam Brewster, director of the department of buildings and grounds. However, the supply of steel is now normal and work is continuing on the million dollar structure which will be located immediately east of Alumni Gym. Conversion of the Women's Dining Hall to cafeteria style should be completed within seven or eight months. Three serving lines and four entrances will enable 1,200 students to dine in the cafeteria within an hour. Roosevelt Drive, the street directely south of the dining hall, will be eliminated to make room for the enlarged building. In addition to the construction of the five dormitories, the former Theta Chi house on Mell Street has been remodeled and houses several dozen coeds. A spacious dining room in the dorm has been remade into a social center. The quadrangle numbering system is continued for the new dorms with the numerals 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 used to designate the buildings. PLANS CALL for the eventual construction of two more dorms on the western portion of the dormitory area. These dorms will be numbered 10 and 11. As a result of this placement system, the former Theta Chi house on the eastern side of the main dorms is number 12. Designed in simplified Georgian style by Warren, Knight, and Davis of Birmingham, the new coed dorm group was constructed by Daniel Construction Co. of Birmingham. The total project, including furniture, cost $1,543,- 686. Work began on the Union Building in May, 1952. The first phase cf construction, consisting of the three-level building, should be completed by the beginning of the fall quarter of 1953. Recreation areas and and another floor to provide accommodations for guests may be added later, stated Ernest D. Nix, superintendent of construction. OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN, the Union, Building plans were formulated by Pearson, Tittle, and Narrows of Montgomery. Batson, Cook Construction Co. of West Point, Ga., is erecting the structure. Student government and alumni offices will be housed in the Union Building. A hobby shop, large college-operated book store," faculty club, and a ballroom are featured in the plans. The building will also have a cafeteria and snack bar. Without the recreation areas and extra floor, the cost will run slightly over a million dollars. ' i n January, 1952, the second unit of Magnolia dormitory was finished. This duplicate dorm was constructed in the same Georgian style as the original section. It is connected to the first unit. The complete Magnolia Hall dormitory accommodates 931 men, two living in each room. The pharmacy department moved into Miller Hall last spring quarter.

ODK, who ran their winning streak to 10 consecutive games Wednesday, triumphed by the lopsided score of 1-0. All the scoring ocurred in a sudden death overtime period. Although five deep at every position, Blue Key was unable to stage a decisive offensive drive, as efforts in that direction wilted before the vicious charging of the ODK forward wall. In the overtime period, ODK's offensive unit utilized deft ball-handling and powerful blocking to grind out sufficient yardage for the victory. Outstanding men in the ODK line were Joe Stegall, Steve Adair, "Foots" Laney, Ned Ellis, Hap Tillery, Max Hall, Dennis Calhoun and Stuart Leach. The backfield punch was provided by Bill Fal-kenbeiry, Jim Baird, and Denny Ray. For Blue Key, the much-vaunted "Crazy-legs" Lineburger was unimpressive.

Alumni Will See A Few Changes Little Man On CantpuV by BiMef Thousands of A u b u r n sons and daught e r s will be s u r p r i s e d at t h e changes they'll i o t i c e in A P I ' s physical plant on t h e i r tour of t h e Loveliest Village d u r i n g this Homecoming weekend. But we feel that it'll b e a pleasant surprise. Those alumni who haven't visited Aub u r n since last Homecoming will see new a n d modern dormitories, new classroom buildings, more coeds t h a n ever before, a long awaited Union Building in the emb r y o n i c stage of construction, and many additional structures j u t t i n g up all over t h e campus—all of which symbolize the ever expanding progress being made t h r o u g h the synonomous efforts of today's administration, alumni, and student body. But w h e t h e r alumni of 1902 or of 1951, t h e r e ' s one t h i n g t h a t will be t h e same— t h e strong, binding spirit that always c l e a r l y marks a n A u b u r n man. No numb e r of physical changes will ever change or remove t h a t cardinal characteristic of Auburn. It is the intangible Auburn s p i r i t that is responsible for t h e flood of alumni that comes pouring onto the f Plains each year at Homecoming time. They come back to pay t r i b u t e to their Alma Mater, to yell and root for t h e Plainsmen football team to pound the daylights out of their turf opponent on the big Saturday, to talk over the "good old days" at class reunions, to l e a r n how they can b e t t er serve the school at alumni meetings, to r e n ew old acquaintances, to shout "War Eagle" in a town where nothing is more familiar, to get a cup at The Grille, to point w i t h pride to t h e improvements that have enabled Auburn to emerge as one of the South's greatest universities, or in summation, to enjoy another Auburn Homecoming. Present students, as well as alumni, will join i n t h e activities of this gigantic weekend. Today's s t u d e n t s will glow with a deep sense of gratification as t h e y see old grads r e t u r n to t h e Village; they'll realize that even after graduation, Aub u r n men and women a r e bound to the Plains w i t h u n b r e a k a b l e ties of love and admiration. As we issue a sincere welcome to visiting alumni this week, we know that many former Auburnites will consider ours and their many other salutations as routine. But with us, it's something more than an ordinary editorial. It's the most appropr i a t e time of t h e year for us to honor and recognize those directly responsible for A u b u r n ' s great achievements as a univers i ty dedicated to higher learning: the Aub u r n students of today and yesterday. Theirs is the task of continuing the promotion of Auburn that has greatly influenced its progress in the past. Again, we say welcome, alumni; we hope you enjoy this Homecoming weekend. But at the same time, we urge you not to forget your responsibility as A u b u r n graduates to further the ideals, t r a d i t i o n s , aims, and best interests of API wherever you go. Rat Caps: A Worthwhile Tradition? We all talk proudly of our many tradit i o n s at Auburn. But we wonder now many students and faculty members are r e a l l y interested in keeping API traditions alive. Now, mid-way through the fall quarter, i t appears that at least one of Auburn's fine, colorful traditions is dying a slow but sure death. Take a look around today and see how many rat caps you see dotting t h e campus. Only a few, we dare say. Yet for years, Auburn freshmen have been symbolized by the colorful orange caps. Many of the old grads down for Homecoming can probably remember the days when Plainsman freshmen not only wore their rat caps, but were proud to.de so. . A u b u r n freshmen are not compelled to . wear their caps, except now and then by f r a t e r n i t i e s and sororities. And it's seldom t h a t the Greeks take particular pains to see that this rule is s t r i c t ly obeyed. This i s the way it should be. We do not feel t h a t A u b u r n frosh should be made to wear r a t caps against their will; t h a t ' s not the A u b u r n way of doing things. But certainly upperclassmen should encourage freshmen to observe this tradition; if it's done in good spirit, t h e n it's highly likely that freshmen will feel proud to adorn their heads with rat caps. Many int e r e s t e d upperclassmen seem disturbed over the frosh laxity of wearing rat caps, and are attempting to show this fall's plebes that they are killing a fine school custom by refusing to wear their r a t caps. A concerned coed s t a r t e d the ball rolling with a l e t t e r to the editor in this week's edition (See "Backfire"). We think it's the duty of upperclassmen to see t h a t this t r a d i t i o n does not die. A few students are especially concerned with pyr. r a t cap s i t u a t i on at the beginning pf every fall quarter, but only so long as it takes t h em to sell several h u n d r e d caps. If t h e r e is good reason for selling the caps, t h e n certainly there is equally creditable reason for encouraging freshmen to wear them. The Plainsman extends an open invitation to students to write us their views on t h e rat cap situation. This can be one way of s t i r r i n g up interest. We wonder if Auburnites really have any concern for the traditions of this college. A Win Over State Could Be Turning Point A win over Mississippi State could be t h e t u r n i n g point in Auburn's '52 grid season, and for that reason we urge any who might be "down" on the Tigers to give Shug J o r d a n ' s team their full support in t h e Homecoming battle tomorrow. Those who a r e disappointed in Jordan's g r i d m e n for not having breezed through such terrific opponents as Maryland, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Tulane, and Florida •had best give this situation another thought. A great football team is not built i n a day, weeks, or months; it takes years, and those who know will testify that this i s t r u e with almost every powerful team in t h e nation today. A u b u r n is building steadily upward toward a winning team, and we feel that the time is not far off when Shug J o r d a n ' s will be one of the most highly respected squads in the Southeastern Conference. One essential in the development of a successful football team is student support; without t h i s vital element, the job is made a much tougher one for the team's coaching staff. • With the entire student body out yelling for them every Saturday, the Tigers will feel more like winning, and they're likely to try a lot harder when the odds a r e against them. So, let's get behind the team, yell like crazy for them tomorrow, and hope t h a t they'll pound State and head i n to the home stretch on the victory road. the 7*2(' ' &2W* . ^^^F ,.

Grads Bring Back Memories To Plains; Campus Spirit Should Reach Peak By H e r b e r t White Alumni will flock into A u b u r n today and tomorrow from every conceivable direction. They will bring to the campus memories of t h e glorious times t h e y had while a t t e n d i n g API. They will recall t h e days when A u b u r n was t h e powerhouse of Southeastern Conference' football. Names like Hitchcock, Gilbert, Gafford, Warrington, Sher ling, Newell, Russell and countless others will enter into the numerous conversations as games of yesteryear are replayed once more. Cherished recollections of fraternity parties, wild weekends, hard work and friendly surroundings are all inter-mingled to form memories that will live forever in the minds of the individual. This friendly atmosphere that was so obvious years ago is almost gone today. When these grads come to the "Loveliest Village" the spirit will be the first thing they will look for and it will be hard to find. At one time Auburn was known as the "friendliest college in the United States." Today, the Auburn spirit has suffered a heart attack; it is not dead, but in a coma, which only you and I can cure. Our spirit is far below the level of those years when the "WAR EAGLE" spirit was acclaimed as the most outstanding among colleges in the nation. What is the main cause in this lack of f riendlines and school spirit which can be seen daily here at Auburn? The answer to this question should be plain to everyone: we have simply become so engrossed in ourselves that we neglect the essential courtesy—Speaking. Those of us who have forgotten the joy of giving a friendly greeting to our classmates arc contributing to the down-fall of one of Auburn's greatest traditions. So, this weekend, let's bring a proud gleam to the eyes of our loyal alumni by booming a freindly greeting to everyone, whether we know them or not. Even if it is true that API has surpassed the University in enrollment, this does not mean that we have to surpass them in snobbishness also. Ford Auburn's Enrollment No Rivalry Basis By Les Ford And of their vain contest appeared no end—Milton • According to the latest reports, t h e number of students enrolled on the Auburn campus exceeds the number on the University campus again this year; this time by almost 1,100 students. Figures released by Bama's dean of admissions William F. Adams s t a te that there arc 5,135 students enrolled on the Tuscaloosa campus. The numb e r compares with 6,400 for API and means that for another y e a r Auburn has the largest on campus enrollment of any school in Alabama, a title it has held only for the last two and a half years. I do not have figures as to the total enrollment both on campus and off for Auburn, but the University's total is 8,827, which is considerably more than API can muster. However, the Loveliest Village docs not have the medical and denial schools and University Centers which account for a little over 2,000'of the combined total. Even though Auburn has led in the field of campus enrollment since 1950, it was not until this year that the Plains even came close to the University coed enrollment. And even now, with the completion of the five new girls dormitories, Auburn's 1,550 coeds docs not equal Bama's 1,755, and it will probably be sometime before there will be extra Women's dormitories necessary to provide sizeable increase in Auburn's coed enrollment. These statistics arc just facts and by no means imply that Auburn is boastful over its plurality or that Auburn is competing with the University in the position where Bama has the larger numbers. I can see no evidence that (Continued on page 5-A) Backfire FROM OUR READERS LETTERS POLICY: All letters to the editor must be signed by the author and accompanied by return addresses. On a writer's request, his name may be withheld. Unsigned letters will not be printed. The Plainsman welcomes letters to the editor, but reserves the right to omit any letter because of nature or content. Dear Editor: Attention has been called to the upperclassmen of a matter which deserves immediate attention of The Plainsman. This "matter" is the wearing of rat caps by the freshmen. Is there not some means that you may employ to encourage the upholding of this situation? The freshmen, men and women, have become most lax in observing this important campus rule. I speak for a number of Auburnites who share the same sentiment about the wearing of rat caps. At football games, or other campus functions, the number of freshman beanies worn is relatively small in proportion to the number of freshmen attending these affairs. The Orange and Blue cap should be an integral part of each freshman's life. Other colleges and universities enforce and uphold the freshman cap tradition. Why doesn't Auburn? Also, the encouragement of a freshman's desire to be recognized by this "universal symbol" would add greatly to the Auburn school spirit. Will you please give thought and attention to this matter of utmost importance. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Myrtle B. Burford A small boy was asked by his father, a well-known contractor, what he would want for Christmas. "A baby brother," replied the boy. "But it's only two weeks to Christmas," said the father, "and that doesn't give me enough time." "I know, Pop, but can't you put more men on the job." Freshman Candidates Run Campaigns Well By Max Hall Maybe it's a bad practice to occupy space in the student newspaper with comment directed at a small group of the student body, but this opus will be aimed primarily at 11 freshmen. Two of these " r a t s " will represent their class in t h e student senate, while the other nine are doomed, temporarily at least, to the very special limbo reserved for unsuccessful candidates. By this time, the victors have been liberally congratulated by friends and constituents. To provide a change, we'd like to include the losers in our good wishes. The most encouraging thing about the current campus campaign was the v i g o r w i th which a l l 11 aspirants for t h e freshman senate s e a ts conducted their programs, while m o s t upper-class candidates followed the trend of apathy which has evidently gained a firm hold on fall elections. Maybe the freshmen j u st Hall haven't been here long enough to find out that "fall elections don't carry any weight anyhow," or maybe they're too new to campus politics to realize that "everything's worked out in the big wheels' coffee sessions." Regardless of the reason for their gross ignorance, the frosh conducted an active, well founded and interesting campaign. Among the platforms printed in The Plainsman week before last, those of the freshmen showed more diligent preparation than those of any other group. Granted that they were not as well written as some, but they showed \ more constructive thought and more personal initiative than many of the upperclassmen in the race. The first year students have made their choice, and we're confident that freshman senate seats will be ably filled during the coming year. Judging from their campaigns, the new senators have . already picked up a workable grasp of campus affairs, and by keeping an eye on the senate veterans, they should prove useful to student government. It is to the losers, however, that these remarks are particularly addressed. Extracurricular activities at Auburn need the kind of spirit which these freshmen displayed in the current campaign. Under the present system, the two senate seats are the only elective positions which freshmen may fill, but there are dozens of other niches into which an active and interested first year student may fit. From experience, we can say that losing an election Is discouraging. In campus elections, however, there needn't be a loser. Each of the candidates met people and made connections • which he can still use if he is genuinely interested in campus affairs. So, to the -unelected freshmen, we say: Don't give up. You have thre0 more years on the campus, and if you are sincerely interested, Auburn needs you! A Word With Sully Were Better Lists Did Not Exist Do you list? Two types of people exist, those who make lists and those who forget everything. We have our black lists, date lists, two dean's lists, l a u n d r y lists, work lists, study lists, shopping lists, check lists, and things to be done if anyone •ever gets the time lists. People who no longer have to do any work or study s p e nd their time de-v i s i n g work lists and study lists. These lists are like most railroad timetables, the only thing you can tell from them is how far behind you are. Shopping lists make it possible for men to spend as much money as women. A husband with a shopping list becomes the grocery-buying slave of his wife. These lists should be outlawed in all civilized countries and Russia. Black lists serve to keep alive life's little irritations that are better forgotten. Date lists serve the same purpose. As for the two dean's lists, they recognize outstanding talent in two different directions. Check lists are frequently found pasted over spots on walls, and may also be discovered resting quietly in wastebaskets. Included in this category are personality improvement lists, vehicle maintenance lists, reading lists and lists of coming events. The primary; purpose of check lists is to be put in prominent places and never referred to again. Other degrees of lists occur. There is the beverage list, which is about 10 degrees from vertical People with this list soon find By Charles Sullivan themselves horizontal with no list at all. During this weekend one may see many examples of the beverage l i s t . Everyone isn't prone to list, but those who list may soon be prone. Then, there is the laundry list or sheet list. Contrary to popular opinion, this list simply lets one know what items the laundry has lost during the week. Things to be done if anyone ever gets the time lists arc very popular. They include tasks such as discovering what ever became of Lucy, buying that Fifth (Beethoven's), finding out why your roommate's hair turn green when he hangs from the ceiling, finding out if Uncle Joe Stalin is really an uncle, and making a list. All listers abide by one basic principle. They always make a duplicate of their list, then if they lose the first one, they will always have the second one to ignore. Tiger Lilies Florida Has Flag—Why Not Auburn? There arc all kinds of flags: national, Confederate, state, United Nations, and city. Last S a t u r d a y in Gainesville, Fla., we were present at the birth of a n ew flag, and a very att r a c t i v e one, too. During the colorful half-time show at the Florida-Auburn game, the University of Florida unfurled their school flag for the first time. Of the same design as the Confederate flag, the university's banner had blue stars in the orange cross, which was outlined in blue, on an orange field. In the triangle formed by two sides of the cross and the flag staff were the big, bold and blue letters "UF." Wc had never seen an official college flag before, and were very impressed, especially with the appropriate southern design. Auburn would do well to follow Florida's example and get a school flag. It's too bad that API can not unfurl one at our Homecoming game tomorrow, but why couldn't some organization sponsor a design contest among the students and faculty and introduce an Auburn flag to the crowd at the Alabama game? It seems to us that this would be a project really worthwhile for ODK, Blue Key, APhiO, or some other service group, and we think both the group and the contest winner would deserve several box car-loads of Tiger Lily bouquets. * * * "•*• WE'D LIKE to present every alumni on the Plains this weekend with either a corsage or bou-tonnier of Tiger Lilies in the way of welcome. .It's great to see so By JoAnnc Lucci many old friends back at the Loveliest Village for all of the festivities, and we hope they enjoy1 this Homecoming as a homecoming has never been enjoyed before. Welcome home, Grads! • * * A BLOSSOM to Florida students for making Auburnites welcome at their Homecoming game. All day and most of the night the beautiful campus rocked with "War Eagles" and "Gator Bait," in the spirit of friendly rivalry. The API aggregation was especially appreciative of the hospitality extended by such places as Florida fraternity houses, private homes, and Canterbury Student Center to their overnight guests from Auburn. Those Floridians, by the way, have school spirit that comes close to matching Auburn's.

The band will begin their half-time program with a fanfare from the end zone. Band < members will peel off rank by rank and march individually to the center of the field playing the "Auburn Victory March." When the band is back in formation it will play a fan-fare and do some intricate movements. AS THEY PLAY the march, they will do some fancy flank movements to a silent cadence. Involved steps to a bit of "Tiger Rag" will conclude the drill part of the show. The band will next feature the All Campus • and Community Chest drive by forming GIVE and then a feather while playing "Love Thy Neighbor." Then they will form a piggy bank and play "Pennies from Heaven" while throwing pennies in the bank. A CROWN will be formed and the band will play "Girl of my Dreams" to honor the homecoming queen and her court. Then the queen and her court will be presented into the crown. The program will be completed by the formation of API while they play "The Alma Mater." API's present Auburn Band had its beginning in 1899 under the direction of Thomas N. Fullman, giving Auburn the distinction of having the oldest colle'ge band in the South. THE ORIGINAL band had one instrument, a tenor horn affectionately named "Betsy;" and until more instruments were bought, all the candidates for the band had to take turns practicing on "Betsy." Since the days of Fullman, the band has had only three~-direct-ors. In 1906 Albert "Suzie" Band Director Dave Herbert Thomas replaced Fullman to begin a 16 year reign as the weilder of the baton. Thomas was followed by Paul Rubens "Beedie" Bidez who was known to h i s bandsmen as "Chief." He relinquished his position to his assistant, David Herbert, who had been responsible for many of the improvements of the band since his arrival on the campus in 1948. HERBERT is a graduate of Carleton C o l l e g e , Northfield, Minn., and did graduate work at L o u i s i a n a State University. Charles Bentley, a member of the Auburn music faculty, is assistant director. Throughout the proud history of the Auburn band, four presidential performances are recorded. Enrollment Rivalry (Continued from page 4-A) the API administration or its students have any idea of enrollment competition between the two schools. But, Auburn's tremendously increasing eritdllmeht se'emsto have disturbed certain parties on the University campus. In fact, a reliable source has informed me that there has been a committee formed at Tuscaloosa, which has as one of its objectives to determine why Alabama's high school graduates are becoming more prone to choose Auburn as their future ulma mater rather than Bama. The concern over Alabama's enrollment situation was also shown in an editorial published in the Crimson-White last week, entitled "You, The Salesman." The author urged the Bama students to "talk University back home" and. to write personal letters to future high school graduates, inviting them up for a weekend to enjoy the Alabama-Chattanooga football game. Tickets for this game are supplied free to high school students by the University of Alabama. Concern over enrollment is not ;m evil; in fact, both our schools could do far more extensive public relations work which would encourage high school graduates to seek higher learning. But, Auburn ites do not have a "let's outdo the University" attitude and the cry of the war eagle says, "let's restrict the rivalry to the sports."

Players Offer Drama Saturday Night By Charles Sullivan The Auburn Players will present "Outward Bound," a comedy-drama by Sutton Vane, in Langdon Hall tomorrow night at 8:15. Judging by their two previous performances of this three-act drama, the Players will give their audience a smooth and entertaining production. Directed by Robert L. Knowles, dramatic arts instructor, the play found its strength in characterization rather than action. Vane's creation centered around seven personalities — a minister, socialite, industralist, d r u n k, scrubwoman and the inevitable lovers—all aboard a small ocean liner voyaging toward an unknown destination. Starting slowly, the play gathers interest as the ship's passengers discover their true condition and destination. ENOUGH TWISTS and turns are in the plot to keep everyone, including the actors, guessing as to the final outcome. The author's ideas concerning Heaven and Hell might not jibe with certain widely held views, but they certainly provide a lively third act. Some doubt existed as to whether, laughter or humble silence would be appropriate after certain subtle lines. With typical good sense, Auburnites did both and disposed cf that question. The settings were not enough to make one seasick, but they sufficed. In addition to the seven performers already mentioned, a steward, who was the only one on board originally knowing his vessel's destination and a second minister, the examiner, completed the cast. Characterizations ranged from excellent to fair in comparison with the acting of other college thes-pians. John Grimm, as the brilliant but erratic drunkard so loved bv playwriters, gave a stimulating performance. Grimm and Frances Holland, who portrayed a gushing society leader, kept the audience awake during the first act. Frances snob- (Continued on page 6-A) Miss Cater Will Receive Honor Auburn's D e a n of Women Katharine Cater, will be honored at homecoming celebrations of Limestone College, Gaffney, S.C., Nov. 8 as "Alumna of the Year."

JANE WYMAN Cartoon & News Four Groups Govern Students By Stuart Leach Four principal organizations comprise student government on the Auburn campus. Largest and most important of these groups is the Auburn student government itself, which rules over all undergraduate members of the student body. The Auburn student government is a medium through which the student may gain representation to the administration. There are a number of joint student-administration committees which decide virtually all matters that affect the student body collectively and individually. Under the leadership of president Jimmy Baird, student government begins this year of operation with a comparatively new organizational structure. This structure, which was inaugurated last fall, closely parallels our national government, in that it is divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The president and his 11 member cabinet comprise the executive branch of the student government organization. Each member of the cabinet has a particular field of student activity under his supervision, while it is the president's job to correlate these activities into a broader program. THE LEGISLATIVE powers of student government are granted to a senate which draws its membership from the five undergraduate classes of the college. The senate is presided over by Don John-sen, vice-president of the student body. The jurisprudence committee comprises the judicial branch of student government. It is the responsibility of this committee to rule on the legality of disputed legislation, and to give an interpretation of any passage of the study body constitution. SECOND ON the list of student governing organizations comes the Women's Student Government Association. This group has as its responsibility the representation of all women students in affairs that concern them exclusively. WSGA does not take precedence over student government, but acts as a subsidiary agency. In conjunction with the dean of women, WSGA sets the permission hours for coeds and decides all disciplinary problems concerning women. WSGA president for this school year is Ollie Mae Holbrook. The third governing organization, the Interfraternity Council, rules over only those students who are members or pledges of social fraternities. The membership of the IFC is made up of one representative from each of Auburn's 21 fraternities. The IFC sets rushing dates and general regulations t o g o v e r n fraternity action throughout the year. Interfraternity sports, Greek Week, and Open House participation are also sponsored by the IFC. President Jim Lineberger will preside over the Council throughout the coming year. THE PAN-HELLENIC Council is the fourth major governing organization for students here at Auburn. This group fulfills the same function for sororities as the IFC docs for fraternities. In addition to ruling over sororities, Pan-Hellenic sponsors several forums for the discussion of sorority problems encountered on the campus. This year's president is Joyce Goff. Textile Technology Department Head Has Extensive Plans Drawn For Future By Herb White The recent appointment of Cleveland L.. Adams, API graduate of 1932, as head of the textile technology department at API marks the beginning of a n ew era for that department. A native of Barbour County, Adams was the first Auburn g r a d u a t e in textile engineering. He is the only textile operating executive to head any de- ORDER HOMECOMING MUMS From Flowersmiths 122 N. College Phone 611 partment of textiles in recent years. For the last nine years, he has been associated with the West Point Manufacturing Company, first as head of the processing department of the research division, and later as technical director of Lanett Mill division. COMMENTING ON Adam's appointment. President Ralph Drau-ghon said: "We are delighted to have been able to obtain the services of Cleveland Adams as head of our department of textile technology. His long experience in the industrial field and his energy and ability will enable us to improve our instruction and research. "His wide knowledge of the problems of the industry will aid j us as we strive to serve the needs of our largest employers of indus- I trial workers." The primary objective under I the ambitious program already-planned by Adams is to develop at Auburn the kind of textile dc-j partment that will best serve the | interests of Alabama's largest in-i dustry. The Textile Building, with 32,- ! 000 feet of floor space as well as a great deal of machinery and equipment, will provide a proper physical plant at the present. THERE ARE approximately 50 students enrolled this year in the department of textile technology. "We should have at least three times that number," Adams says. "Neither the need nor the demand for textile graduates has ever been greater than now. "Alabama's t e x t i l e industry employs 51,800 persons, about 25 per cent of the state's total industrial working force. There are, conservatively, 10 jobs waiting for every textile graduate." At the present time, Auburn awards B.S. degrees in textile chemistry and in textile engineering. The new department head hopes to later institute a course in textile manufacturing, which will lead to administrative jobs. ADAMS HOPES, for example, t h a t industry, individuals or organizations will see the advantages in awarding scholarships and fellowships to the textile department. He also hopes to be able to obtain eventually mo're modern machinery and equipment upon which to train students so that they may serve the industry more effectively. Open House Plans In Beginning Stages Plans are being made to begin work on Auburn's second annual Open House program, according to Ned Ellis, chairman of the Open House Committee. Dates for the program are April 10 and 11. Due to the apparent success of last year's Open House program, Ellis was appointed by the student body president last spring to plan and coordinate the activities for a second program. Last year's celebration drew some 1,500 high school students and other visitors to the campus, and it is expected that this year's will draw considerably more. THE PURPOSES of the program are threefold: to show high school students the benefits of Auburn; to show alumni the progress which has been made, and to show the students of different schools what the other schools are doing. 'Outward Bound' (Continued from page 5-A) bed effectively and presented a devil's eye view of a grasping socialite. AS THE HEROINE in a charwoman's clothing, Vangaline Lukes walked off with top acting honors. Her supposedly Cockney accent, which might remind an Englishman of East Brooklyn, distinguished her performance. Bill Manley enthusiastically personified the pompous and selfish industrialist. Manly did his part so well that one found it impossible to dredge up any sympathy for the egotistical businessman when he was doomed on his judgment day. Harry Durham, as The Reverend William Duke, compentently conveyed ;the idea of a hard-working and humble parson. Good lines and an ability to shrug helped Durham considerably. As the steward, Bill Bowles acted his part diligently. Perhaps Bowles may have jangled the nerves of some with his bouncing walk. THE YOUNG lovers, sighed by Lila Wright and Robert Nixon, clung convincingly to each other. Nixon, an expiring young actor, drooped around the stage in his t usual inimitable manner. On the program a fictitious name—George Spelvin—was listed as acting the | part of The Reverend Frank Thompson. Congratulations go to whoever played the part of the examining minister. His performance climaxed the play in more ways than one. We Would Like To Take This O p p o r t u n i t y To Say WELCOME GRADS it's not what you do Dancing can be lots of fun and relaxation.

Auburn Knights Ranked As Leader Among Southeastern College Bands By JoAnne Lucci "The nation's leading college dance band." That's how the Auburn Knights are often billed, and deservedly so. Proof of the ability of the Knights is the large number of former members who have advanced in the music field to play with such names as Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, and Stan Kenton. Except for a few years during World War II, the band has been active on the Auburn campus since it was formed in 1929. Since that time, it has b e c o m e well-known throughout the southeastern states, playing at almost every major college and university in the area. Evidence of the Knights' success can be seen in the fact that they are financially able to own all of their equipment, including a bus that they use for travel to and from engagements, a public address system, music stands, and a wire recorder for use at rehearsals. The band members themselves credit their success to the fact that they are a congenial group, socially as well as musically. Work and decisions are shared equally by the bandsmen, and they believe that this cooperation has helped make each member an intergral part of the band and aided in its progress. PLAYING EVERYTHING from a slow two-step to Dixieland jazz, a favorite with the Auburn students, the band considers itself a "modern dance band with a decided inclination toward a mild form of bop." Members of the band arc: Al Norman, leader and trumpet soloist; Marilynne Paler, vocalist; Rudy Blackmarr, business manager and trumpet; Bob Lewis, trumpet; Roy Bailey, trumpet, and Art Sturm, trumpet. Gene Mullins, trombone, (formerly with Krupa); Gene Smith-son, trombone; Jack Dresner, trombone; Julian Burgess, trombone; Harold Hornstrom, alto; Julian Stephens, alto; Carol Cunning-hem, tenor; Sonny Mayfield, tenor; Jimmy Newberne, baritone, (former leader of "The Plainsmen" Orchestra); Sam Ruth, bass; Mickey Miklic, drums, and Charles Ard, piano, (formerly with Dean Hudson). Tonight and tomorrow night the students and visitors will have a chance to see and hear the Knights for themselves at two homecoming dances at the student activities building.

THROAT. and Accessory Organs not Adversely Affected by Smoking Chesterfields FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE J A responsible consulting organization has reported 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 the 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."

SCANNING tHE PLAINS r FOOTS UHY Baby Tigers Meet Tech Tuesday In Final Home Game SPORTS EDITOR Partisan Fans May Watch Plainsmen Break Into SEC Win Column Tomorrow For the last three weeks, Coach Shug Jordan's spirited Plainsmen have spent their official playing time on a rocky road of football trips embracing Georgia Tech (Atlanta), Tulane (Mobile), and Florida (Gainesville), losing each time. As the Plainsmen remain at home tomorrow to perform before partisan fans, the probability of'winning over Mississippi State, fourth SEC game in a row for Auburn, is high. Despite an unimpressive one won, five lost record for this season, Auburn's is a good football team and better than last year's squad, : which broke even in a 10-game slate. The only disheartened people on the Plains are those who look only to the cold final figures. They overlook the calibre teams Auburn has faced. Four of the teams which won over the Plainsmen were ranked in the nation's first 20 the week they played, and of this quartet of Maryland, Tech, Ole Miss, and Florida, the first three are still unbeaten. Some 150 Auburn students (including a busload of. Lambda Chi's) journeying to Gainesville last week carried the retired Auburn spirit which seemed to impress the Floridians more than their own Gators' 31-21 win over the Plainsmen. I-aney In Gainesville, the Plainsmen exhibited their best play against a formidable opponent since the Maryland Opener. Though losing, the Plainsmeen stunned Florida's old grads (and others) by fighting to an early two touchdown lead before finally falling, 31-21, to a team which they upset, 14-13, here last homecoming. —Auburn Improves Offense Auburn played well to earn its 21 points which reflect a considerable amount of improvement in the Plainsman offense. The strong running of Charlie "Big Boy" Littles, the 1949 Andalusia All- America prepper, and Charles Hataway placed the Plainsmen's ground game on oar with the passing of quarterback Dudley Spence. (Spence snapped an Auburn record for passing set in 1946 by Travis Tidwell by throwing Auburn's sixth and seventh aerial touchdowns 6f the year to Bill Larrimore and Capt. Lee Hayley.) Coach Jordan praised center Ed Baker for his outstanding blocking in the offensive line against the rugged Gator forwards. Jim Dillion drew a favorable word from Florida Coach Bob Woodruff after stopping many Gator plays at his linebacking post. Dillion once reached out, caught the jersey of fleet J. Papa Hall, who had just flashed by, and with a mighty one-arm effort sent the Florida runner reeling backward. Dillion and Jack Locklear were magnificent backing up the Auburn line which was paced by Bill Kilpatrick and Bill Turnbeaugh. Only major injury sustained by the Plainsmen in Gainesville was Percy Alford who pulled several muscles in the collarbone area. At press time Alford was the only injured man, except Foy Thompson and Vince Dooley, who may miss the State game tomorrow. For Auburn, tomorrow's affair brings forth one realization: As*for as won-losts go, the Plainsmen are back against the wall if they are to finish 5-5 as they did last year. This calls for wins over the remainder of the Auburn foes—State, Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama—a tremendous job. TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOL. 79 SECTION B—6 PAGES AUBURN, ALABAMA FRIDAY, NOV. 7, 1952 Number 15 —Wreck Tech Tuesday Coach Dick McGowcn, the Auburn great of the late thirties, revealed this week that his Freshman footballers are ready to meet Tech's frosta here next Tuesday in an effort to avenge their big brothers' loss to the varsity Yellow Jackets a few weeks ago, and conclude their season unbeaten. Contrary to the thoughts, of most students that freshmen who have played in a varsity game are ineligible for a freshman contest, McGowcn will legally throw several members of the Auburn varsity into his starting lineup. Ray Mercer, Bobby Scarborough, Joe Childress, Fob James, and M. L. Brackctt are among those varsity men upon whom Coach Mc- Gowen can call (unless Coach Jordan declines to risk their injury because of varsity necessities) to team with his regulars. Thus far the Tiger frosh have beaten Alabama's Baby Elephants (for the first time in history) and Georgia's Bullpups, mainly on the passing of Bill Burbank and the running of Billy Whitten and James. DEADLY DUDLEY SPENCE * * * Hayley, Spence Picked To Play In Blue-Gray Tilt As the Plainsman went to press Thursday, it was learned that Montgomery's Blue-Gray committee has selected Capt. Lee Hayley and Dudley Spence to play for the Grays in the annual classic in Crampton Bowl late in December. The selection of Captain Hayley kept alive an old Auburn tradition, placing at least the Plainsman grid captain each year in the affair. Spence is the first Auburn quarterback to play for the Grays since Travis Tidwell in 1949. Tom Banks performed there for the Plainsman in 1950, and Ed "Foots" Bauer represented Auburn last year. The Spence-Hayley pass combination is as good as any seen in the conference this year and should give Blue-Gray fans some thrills. Alabama's Bobby Marlow and Clell Hobson, along with Hayley and Spence were the first players selected by the Blue-Gray committee for the Gray team, which is to be coached by Clem-son's Frank Howard. • * * . - . - . • : - • : - : • : • : • : - : • : • : • . - • : • : • ; - • • ; • ; • ' • . • ; • ; •: AUBURN FRESHMEN READY to wreck Georgia Tech's frosh next Tuesday here are Fob James (23), Johnny Adams (47), Billy Whitten (36), Bill Burbank (15), Ray Mercer (39), Jim Pyburn (50), Vince Nardone (58), Frank Abt, Frank D'Agostino (67), Bob Englefield (68), and M.

M Bobby Freeman Tiger halfback Florida Trips Tigers In Harrier Meet As Atkins Shines By Larry Conner Long striding Ewart Atkins, mainstay of Coach Wilbur Hutsell's cioss-country squad led the pack over the finish line in the Auburn- Florida meet last Monday morning in Cliff Hare Stadium, but hot on his heels came four Gators who accounted for Florida's 22-36 victory (the low score wins.) It was an" unseasonably hot clay for Auburn which doubtless enhanced the chances of the Florida runners. All but one of them, that is; Kenny Howard and the Florida trainer had to go out and look for this tired Gator after the race. The high light of the race was the determined stretch drive by Atkins to nose out Florida's Ordonez by 6/10ths of a second for first place honors. Plainsmen's Versatile Dudley Spence Gets Top Billing In Game Tomorrow By Foots Laney Top billing for tomorrow's Cliff Hare Stadium feature goes to Auburn's versatile quarterback, Dudley Spence, conjurer of the local gridiron, who passes and kicks with the best in the nation. Spence, a senior from McComb, Miss., first opened Auburn eyes in 1951, when he handled the Plainsmen Threaten Gators Early, Later Succumb To Florida Power By Foots Laney After scoring two early touchdowns which threatened to spoil Florida's homecoming-centennial celebrations, Auburn's gallant Plainsmen finally fell 31-21 to the Gators Saturday, before 35,500 spectators who gathered to see the feature attraction of a three-day "Florida Cheers 100 Years" show. Dudley Spence, the Plainsmen's DUDLEY SPENCE, leading passer in the conference, will direct Auburn's offense in Cliff Hare Stadium tomorrow against a tough Mississippi State team. Spence passed for 154 yards against Florida, and represents a potential touchdown everytime he throws. punting chores for the Plainsmen and averaged 37.1 yards on 79 kicks to rank fifth in the conference. Last year he also completed four of eight passes, playing second team quarterback behind Allan Parks. SPENCE STARTED this season behind Vince Dooley, who ran Coach Shug Jordan's favorite formation, the split-T, but when Dooley twisted a knee in the Ole Miss game (second of the year), Spence took over as quarterback for the Plainsmen. This called for Spence to double up and handle more than just the Auburn punting. Handling two important jobs, of course, is unusual in this day of football specialization. Thusly, Spence started his first game for Auburn against Wof-ford in mid-October. He tied an all-time SEC mark of 11 consecutive pass completions to pace the Plainsmen 54-7 over the Terriers for the highest score an Auburn football team has run up in eight years. IN ADDITION to exceptionally affective passing, he has been punting incredibly so that he now ranks in the upper crust of Southern booters. Last week he entered the Flor-ida game with the best pass completion percentage in the SEC arid 13th best punting average in the nation. Completing 11 of 18 passes against the Gators he maintained his 60.9% of passes complete, tossed his seventh earial score of the year to break an all-time Auburn record, and threw Capt. Lee Hay-ley's fourth touchdown pass of the year to help Hayley snap another school mark. SPENCE CAME to Auburn in 1949 after making all-state and All-Southern at McComb High School in Mississippi. Tomorrow the Mississippi State Maroons will se quite a bit of Spence as he attempts to elevate his current 40.3 punting average (50 kicks for 2,015 yards) and his conference-pacing pasing average (53 of 87 complete for 682 yards) to even greater .heights. highly underrated quarterback, broke a six-year o 1 d Auburn passing record set by Travis Tidwell by tossing two touchdown passes to bring his year's total to seven. Spence, who called an excellent offensive game for Auburn, completed 11 of 18 passes for 154 yards bringing his seasonal record to 53 of 87 passes complete for 682 yards and a 60.9" percentage. C H A R L I E HATAWAY, the junior Troy fullback who played his best game since the Vander-bilt- Auburn game of a year ago, initiated the day's scoring by carrying a Spence hand-off across from the three-yard line before six minutes in the contest had elapsed. Joe Davis converted and it was 7-0, Auburn. Sophomore Bill L a r i m o re chilled the Gators' spirits again before the first quarter ended by getting behind Florida defenders to receive a 34-yard Spence aerial for Auburn's second touchdown. Davis added uno point for a 14-0 Plainsman lead. THE SECOND PERIOD was featured by two Florida scores. Spence, who hadn't kicked a bad one in Auburn's first five games, slipped a boot off the side of his foot at the Plainsman 11-yard line. Rick Casares capitalized on the Auburn misfortune for a touchdown, then added the point. BUFORD LONG scored Florida's second touchdown on a 10- yard end run to climax a 67-yard drive which started with the interception of a Spence pass by Larry. Scott. Halftime score, 14-14. Florida jumped ahead for the first time in the game early in the third period when Casares scored again on a burst through the line six yards out. Casares converted for a 21-14 Florida lead. Charlie "Big Boy" Littles and Hataway p a c e d the Auburn ground attack after the ensuing kickoff to place the ball qn the Plainsman 49. Here the stage was set for the most spectacular pass play,of the day. Spence on the next play faked to Hataway through .the middle, retained the ball, then threw 34 yards to Capt. Lee Hayley who was hit by two Gator defenders before he stumbled 15 yards into the end zone for Auburn's final score. Davis tied the game 21-21 with his third extra point. FLORIDA ADDED what proved to be the winning touchdown in the final stanza when Long scored from the two, the play being set up by a 20-yard run by J. Papa Hall. Casares made it 28- 21, Florida. As a safety measure, Casares, who scored 19 points in the contest, kicked a 24-yard field goal from a slight angle with approximately two minutes remaining. The 21 Auburn points reflect that the Plainsman offense is probably at its best thus far this season. The running of Hataway and Littles, in addition to the work of the offensive ends, Hayley, Hall, and Larimore, indicate the great potentialities of Auburn in the future. Fraternity Teams Fight For Trophy By Ronald Owen Fraternity teams continue to battle it out as the race for the touchfootball trophy gets tighter each week. Thursday of last week saw Alpha Gamma Rhq slip by OTS 2-0. winning in a "sudden death" playoff, while Sigma Nil was scoring the same type victory over Thcta Chi. PiKA cased by the Delta Sig's 6-0 as Hartficld tallied the game's only TD for the Pikes. LEDBETTER and Martin each scored a touchdown for the KA's is the old Southerners tripped up the Sigma Chi's 13-0. Alpha Psi racked up another win, this one a 19-0 victory over TKE. Bearden scored two touchdowns for the vet fraternity, Briggs got six points, and Shields accounted for the extra point. In the remaining game SPE romped to a 13-0 victory over Lambda Chi. Brown, Vandiver, and Daniels scored SPE's points. (Continued on page 4-B) Independent Race Tightens In Stretch By Ronald Owen Six games were played on Wednesday of last week by independent and church teams and the race for the touch football trophy moved into the back stretch. In church play, Wesley edged BSU 20-12, and Westminster eased by Canterbury 2-0. The Devils lost a close independent game to Quccs 2-0, while other independent battles saw Delta Tau take Delta Chi 12-0, the T-Kays rolling to a 9-2 victory over the T-Cats, and Navy winning over Theta Xi 22-0. MONDAY, in church play, Wesley won another, this one over Newman 8-7, and Canterbury won by a forfeit over BSU 2-0. In independent play, Navy took the Tigers 6-0, McCormick scoring the game's lone touchdown for the Navy.

Game time will be 2 p.m. This game will be a showdown between two fine undefeated freshman squads. The Tiger Cubs sport the most impressive record with wins over the Alabama frosh 13-7, and over the Georgia Bull-pups 12-7. The Tech freshmen have played only one game, a pre- Tech Homecoming eyent in which they shellacked the freshmen from Vandcrbilt. THE BIG GUNS in the Tigers' ground attack this year has been Fob James, 170 pounds of greased lightning from Lanett, and "Rambling" Ray Mercer, All-America high school player from Moultrie, Ga. The slick ball handling and dead eye passing of quarterback Bill Burbank makes the cubs' offense a very strong one. Bill is a well built boy, standing six feet tall and weighing 185 pounds. McGOWEN'S FRESHMAN line is anchored by M. L. Brackett, 240 pound right tackle from Attala. Erackett has seen some action with the varsity this year and has the markings of a great college tackle. The baby Jackets will bring to Auburn the finest collection of young ball players the Tiger freshmen will have to face this year. They also will field the slickest offensive team of any frosh aggregation in the conference. fcited to the Fogs by the same score. In the other game the Slickers romped to a 27-0 Win over Theta Xi as Dillard, Smith, Lowery, and Lacy scored six-pointers for the winner.

A square dance and sock hop were the first two parties given at the Center this quarter. The bridge tournament, as well as the rest of the social calendar, will be open for all-campus participation with the intent of increasing student interest in activities at the Social Center. AN ADMISSION of 25 cents per person will be charged to finance a trophy for the high scorer of the tournament, and it is hoped that independents as well as sororities and fraternities will enter the competition, Arthur Moore, chairman of the board said. . •.. The first games will be played Monday night and other one-round eliminations will be played on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The final round will be played on Wednesday evening. THE STUDENT CENTER is located in the basement of Lang-don Hall. The snack bar operates during the hours that the Center is open, and cards, and other games are available for students. Besides a new social plan, the center was redecorated this past spring, and recently a radio-phonograph was installed. Tentative plans are in progress for listening parties for Saturday football games. NEW HOURS are 8 until 5 every weekday, and 7 until 10 every night but Sunday. These hours are subject to change by popular demand, the committee announced. The Center is open every Saturday until 12 noon.

SELF SERVICE ON COFFEE AND DONUTS , where? the students meet EY'S Homecoming Up For 39th Renewal; Custom Dates To Thach Administration By Tom Collins When that intangible Auburn spirit plays host to returning alumni and students this weekend, it will be the 39th Homecoming program in the history of the institution. Many of the old grads remember when the first Homecoming Day was held, but to the present student body, this is a mystery. BACK IN JUNE, 1913, Dr. Charles Thach, then president of Auburn, issued a proclamation calling for the observance of a "homecoming for all of those loyal sons who, as former students, have passed through her portals and received her honors." Homecoming festivities were held with commencement exercises in the spring until the memorable year of 1924 when football became synonomous with the celebration. That day on Drake Field the Tigers firmly entrenched themselves in the hearts of visiting alumni as they defeated Clemson, 13-0. UP UNTIL the completion of Cliff Hare Stadium, Homecoming ceremonies were held in Montgomery since there were not adequate facilities to accommodate the crowds which attended the games. Since the beginning of the football tradition back in 1924, each reunion has been held during the grid season with the exception of the years '37, '38, and '43. IN 1939, Cliff Hare Stadium was officially opened to a crowd of 14,000 as the Tigers battled Florida to a 6-6 tie. At that time the Auburn stadium consisted only of the West stands. Directly across the playing field was a drab hillside which envolved into the new East stands in 1949. In the 24 homecoming tilts played, Auburn has emerged victorious in 18, lost 3 and tied 3: The greatest margin of victory was in 1932 when the Tigers defeated Erskine College, 77-0. CLEMSON'S 41-0 victory over the Plainsman two years ago is the worst defeat a Tiger eleven has encountered in a Homecoming tilt. Speculation as to the outcome of tomorrow's game runs high. Both teams are rated fairly even, with a few scribes giving Auburn a slight edge. Results of Homecoming games are below. (Auburn scores first.) 1924—Clemson—13-0 1925—VPI—19-0 1926—Clemson—47-0 1927—Florida—6-33 1928—Clemson—0-6 1929—Howard—6-0 1931—Tulane--27-0 1932—Erskine—77-0 1933—Oglethorpe—27-6 1934—Oglethorpe—15-0 1935—Oglethorpe—51-0 1936—Loyola—44-0 1939—Florida—6-6 (tie) 1940—Clemson—7-7 (tie) 1941—La.

Her name is WRAY and she stands for the spirit of the organization. Wray is noticable on all posters and announcements „sent out by the association, and she is best described as a blonde with a tremendous nose and a semi-crew cut. Wray announces all of the activities of the association, such as open swimming for both men and women students on Tuesday night from 7 to 9, and on Thursday night from 5 to 6. A tennis club is also being organized for advanced and intermediate players. At the first meeting, 16 members attended. The volleyball tournament is going strong, according to reports. The games are played in Alumni Gym on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7 to 930. A big Sock Hop is being planned for this quarter, with the date to be announced later. Ah students are reminded that sports equipment such as golf clubs, tennis rackets and balls may be borrowed from the gym at any time. * Five Profs Added To Math Faculty Dr. W. V.

Occupational And Personal Guidance Offered To Students As API Service By Margie Sullivan Occupational and personal guidance to students is offered by the Auburn Student Guidance Service, formerly known as the Veterans Guidance center. Three experienced counselors, under the supervision of Dr. H. F. Vallery, provide personal counseling and conduct interest inventories, ability tests, and psychiological measure ments. In a recent study, it was discovered that 75 per cent of the assistant professor. He has instructed at Lehigh and Southwestern and has done graduate work at Lehigh. Appointed as instructor is Miss Frances Norton. She holds a bachelor's degre from Birmingham Southern and a master's degree from API. Seven teaching fellows have also ben added to the staff. They are: Robert Thomas Anderson, Hatche-chubee; Ben Fitzpatrick, Miami, graduates had changed courses at least once during their college careers and only 25 per cent of the graduating seniors had finished in their original course of study. These changes involve loss of credit hours, time, and money. Auburn's Lost/Found Department Has Surplus Of Unclaimed Articles J8y Dave Laney Auburn's lost and found department disagrees with the old axiom "Finders keepers, losers weepers." Many objects which have gotten away from their owners are being held in this department awaiting possessors' identification and claim. A special service branch for students' henefits, the lost and found department is located in the rear of the building and grounds building on Drake Drive, one block south of Drake Infirmary. The Guidance Service can prevent much of this academic wandering" with their program of testing and counseling. SEVERAL SCHOOLS and departments of API require their freshmen students to take interest inventories and aptitude tests prepared by this Guidance Service. Each group is given a test in accordance with their occupational choice. Each field of study and each occupation has a specific form by which the interest, ability, and aptitude of each individual is compared with that of successful people in his chosen vocation. The advisors of the respectful schools refer to these comparisons, and also the results of the freshman placement test and personal interviews, to get an idea of each student's interests, aptitudes, and" abilities. ''WE'VE T A K E N CARE of everything from overshoes to lower plates in the six years since the lost and found department was rejuvenated," c o m m e n ts James Allgood, foreman of the lost and found storeroom. "Since the quarter began, such articles as plastic raincoats, jackets, glasses, car keys, and jewelry have been turned in to us," he added. ARTICLES TURNED in to the lost and found office are labeled with the finder's name and address and kept in a special cabi-nejt. If they are not called fpr within three months the department disposes of them as it sees fit, sometimes giving the unclaimed goods to the Red Cross. If the number of unclaimed articles in the cabinet may be regarded as an index, many students are unaware that such a service exists on the Auburn campus. Many lost belongings are there now, waiting for owners to pick them up. 3.B—THE PLAINSMAN Friday. Nov. 7, 1952 f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ » » ^ ^ « Fla.; M i s s Marjorie Higgins, Adamsville; Miss Katherine A.

Bill Turnbeaugh, 6'4", 265 pound tackle for the Plainsmen, will likely shine before homefolks when Auburn and Mississippi State clash tomorrow in Cliff Hare Stadium. BIG BILL known to his teammates as "Tugboat," has made the headlines for Auburn all over the country because of his "radar" system of playing defense. Due to the fact that he can't see over two feet without his glasses, Bill has to rely on pressure from blockers and ground vibrations to determine the path of the ball carrier. The system seems to be a success, for Bill has been a standout lineman in all the Tiger games j last year's track captain this season. TUREBEAUGH transferred to Auburn from Oklahoma Junior College and started school on the Plains as a junior. Last year with the Tigers, Bill turned in one sterling performance after another and was good enough to make honorable mention All-America teams and the third all SEC eleven. This year in pre-season polls he was rated as All-American material and lauded by Collier's Magazine as "the unsung lineman of the year." COACH "SHUG" Jordan has words of praise for Bill too, calling him "—the greatest defensive tackle I've seen a n y w h e r e." "Tugboat" has lived up his publicity, too, playing a spectacular brand of ball from Auburn's opener with Maryland through last week's game with Florida. One of the most popular men on the Auburn campus, Bill is playing his last year for the Tigers. Many southern sports writers predict he will make most All- America teams this year, an honor which no Auburn lineman has achieved' since Tex Warrington was selected on the 1944 team. Auburn fans will see a lot of big Bill's number, 66, tomorrow ^when a fighting Auburn team goes after their first conference win of the season. FOUND—237 political crying towels after the Tuesday night election returns were announced at the Sigma Nu House. Owners will please call Les Ford and pick up their towels and buttons. Seven Men Tapped For Membership In Spiked Shoe Spiked Shoe, Auburn's honorary society for varsity track men, has tapped seven students for membership, it was announced yesterday by President Duncan Bryant, Bryant stated that, initiation of the organization is scheduled for next Thursday, and that neophytes will wear the traditional garb of track warm-up suits and a large name sign, and carry track shoes wherever they go. Recent tappees are Jackie Creel, Dothan; Don Johnson, Bessemer; Tommy Tate, Sylacauga; Bill Fick-ling, Macon, Ga.; Duke Brown, Montgomery; Jim Spann, Plant City, Fla., and Jim Dilliori, Upper Sandusky, Ohio.

Magnolia Captains Hayley, McMurry Lead Football Maneuvers By Larry Conner Two steller ends lead the fighting Auburn Tigers into action each Saturday. Both play left end, one holds the all-time pass receiving record for an Auburn football player, the other is the indispensable sparkplug of the defensive team. They are Lee Hayley, and Bill "Peanut" McMurry, captain and alternate captain of Auburn's 1952 grid corps. LEE HAYLEY is a football rarity in that he is paying his own way to college. Lee gave up his scholarship in order to get married, but wouldn't give up his last year of football. In the midst of another fine season, Hayley seems destined to become one of. Auburn's all-time great ends. Hayley's 6 foot 1, 202 pounds make a dependable target for Tiger passers. Last year Lee snagged 33 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns, to bring his two year total to 53 completions. THIS YEAR Hayley has continued to be a constant threat to all Tiger foes with sensational catches when they were needed most. So far this season he has scored four touchdowns, and is averaging better than 20 yards per catch. ON DEFENSE Bill McMurry takes over as the team leader as well as the'left end. "Peanut," as he is called, is a natural leader. His presence seems to give the defensive forewall that indefinable extra something that turns seven individuals into a single wall, which has proved itself mighty rugged against several of the top teams in the country. Inspiration is not all that McMurry gives to the Auburn cause. Bill is regarded as one of the Plainsman Olympic Ace Developing Into Versatile Gridiron Performer By John Raines One of the most versatile men on Coach .Jordan's football squad this fall is also one of his brightest prospects. He's Jim Dillion, who captured the hearts of SEC track coaches, proceeded to amaze track fans all over the nation and capped it all off by placing in the Olympic games. Now Jim has left the cinders Big Jim Dillion. . . . . . Tiger Linebacker finest defensive ends in the SEC. He intercepted five passes in 1951 despite missing the last four games because of leg injury. FULLY RECOVERED now, he has been as effective as ever this year, especially on kickoffs where he excels. temporarily to'add power to the Tigers' defense, and he has done just that in the games he has played in. Dillion is a sophomore from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, who came to the Plains in 1950 to star as a freshman end and a discus thrower on the track team. He tips the scales at 220 pounds, but oddly enough, he is only a step or soj behind diminutive Jackie Creel in the 50-yard dash. Jim, however, stuck to the discus in track competition. He has gained every distinction obtainable in the SEC as far as slinging the plate goes and he also competes in the shot put. ALTHOUGH HIS fame is due to track, it was actually football that brought Jim to the Plains. While he was serving at Fort Sill, Okla., he came in contact with an Auburn alumnus, Ernie Mills, who was coaching the Fort Sill team. Mills was once a standout in the Auburn line, and when Jim left the service to attend college his choice was Auburn. When Dillion player end on the frosh squad, he and Vince Dooley teamed up to give Auburn an effective pasing combo. Many people thought the two might fraternize again, but Vince has been out because of an injury and Jim has played mostly defensive ball. He was one of the standouts in the Tulane game, and was no less spectacular in the Florida game. Florida's backs, Rick Casares and J. Poppa Hall might verify that statement. WHEN JORDAN was asked before the season started what he thought of Dillion, he said: "Of course, Jim's biggest handicap will be lack of experience, but he has the speed and natural ability, and we see no reason why, in proper time, he should not be a fine football player." "In proper time," Jordan hastened to point out, may be half a season or it may be a year, depending on the progress Dillion makes. But two years of grid eligibility remain and the raw material is there. The finished product should be something to behold. MISS LOIZEAUX JOINS API ART DEPARTMENT Elise Loizeaux of New Rochelle, N.Y., has entered the API art department as an instructor in fashion illustration. Miss Loizeaux has recently returned to the U.S. from Paris where she studied for a year. In addition to her studies at the University of Paris she studied the collections of many famous French designers such as Jacques Fath, Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain. She also studied the work of Croydon and other sculptors while in Paris. Before going to Paris Miss Loizeaux was an instructor in fashion design for Parsons School of Design in New York. Previously, she worked with Louise Barnes Gallagher as a fashion designer, and taught fashion design and illustration for Stephens College in Missouri. Miss Loizeaux received her education in New York City art schools, Columbia University and the University of Missouri. 4-B—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, Nov. 7, 1952 \ Former Band 'Chief 'Beedie' Bidez, Among Alumni Here By Eldonna Brown Among the a l u m n i back "home" for the activities of this weekend is P. R. "Beedie" Bidez, class of '15, who was director of the Auburn band for 30 years. "Beedie" was a star football player at Auburn during the days of Mike Donahue. He played all of his four years in school and was captain of the team his senior year. Unusual as it may seem, he played in the Auburn Band and at the same time was a member of the football team. AFTER SERVING in the army, he joined the music staff in 1919'. He became director of the band in 1921. The band was then a poorly financed group of 30. From 1919 until 1928, he also directed the Glee Club. When Beedie Bidez resigned in 1951, the Auburn Band was properly financed and equipped. The 100 strong band was established throughout the Southland as one of the finest. HE RETIRED last year after 30 years as a pioneer in the field of music at Auburn. His retirement brought to an end the colorful career of the man who had led the South's oldest college band since 1921. Chief "Beedie" Bidez . . . . . .

OCR Transcript | Full Sports Coverage In Second Section Of This Issue VOL. 79 Some Fraternities Fail To Comply With Plans Of Spirit Committee By War Eagle In a determined effort to bolster student spirit, a surp r i s e pep r a l l y was held Wednesday night, and* from my p e r c h it looked and sounded l i k e a most successful one. Spirit has not been too ent h u s i a s t i c of late, and it might be that the mid-week rally has affected Auburn students i n t h e " r i g h t " way. But even at. the best rallies, it seems that some few have to always botch things up. At least two fraternities refused to break up chapter meetings and declined to cooperate with the hundreds of other students who considered the rally worthy of their attendance. Not only did, they fail to cooperate, but they did so in direct opposition to the expressed request of the Interfraternity Council. I've seen a good bit of unco-operation in my time, but not when cooperation was more needed. For Homecoming to be so close at hand, I've seldom seen campus spirit as low as it's been here during the past few weeks. This weekend is the one time in the year, if no other, when the Auburn campus should raise the roof and get behind the football team. I understand that fraternity chapter meetings are important affairs, but I can't help but feel that the two fraternities that refused to break up their meetings Wednesday night were thinking more of themselves than of the school spirit. Apparently^ the Spirit Committee is trying to pep up the campus spirit, and it's up to all the students to contribute their full support. Without the full cooperation of all, Auburn cannot have the kind of school spirit I've seen here for so many years. Maybe I've just got a peculiar notion, but I kinda feel that everyone ought to get out and lend a hand at the pep rallies. Bulldog To Be Burned At Pep Roily Thursday Auburn's a n n u a l torchlight parade and "Burn The Bulldog" pep rally will start from Ross Square at 7 Thursday night. Each fraternity and Magnolia hall division is urged to supply torches, noisemakers and mock bulldogs. Coordinators will work with each group to be responsible for the group's actions and to insure safety. Paraders will march through town and journey to a bonfire on the field below the student activities building, and a pep rally will follow the bulldog burning. Students are asked to take sensible safety precautions. At 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, a pep rally will be held at the Ralston Hotel in Columbus. Fans Urged To Walk College and city officials joined today in appealing to students, faculty members and townspeople to walk to the Homecoming game In Cliff Hare Stadium tomorrow. Since a near-record crowd is expected to attend, parking space around the stadium will be at a premium. By leaving their cars at home, local residents will relieve tarffic congestion and help prevent delays and accidents.

DEFENSIVE DEMON Deans Approve Pre-Registration; Overload Enrollment To Be Delayed By Tom Duke The Council of Deans approved dales for fall pre-registra-tion at a recent regular meeting. In an announcement issued after the meeting, Dr. M. C. Huntley, dean of faculties, revealed that pre-registration would start on Monday, Nov. 17, and would follow procedure similar to that used during previous quarters. The major change in procedure day and Friday, Nov. 20-21, and will be to the effect that students freshmen, Monday, Tuesday and will not be permitted to register Wednesday, November 24-26. for an overload during the pre-registration period. Registration for overloads will be held after students return to school for the winter quarter. THE OVERLOAD change was made because students do not know whether they will be eligi-abie to carry additional hours at the time of pre-registration. This leads to the scheduling of many courses by ineligible students, which in turn causes some courses to be closed out during pre-registration. When the ineligible students drop extra hours after receiving their grades, courses are taught with a smaller number of students than they could have acr commodatcd if punched cards had not been needlessly pulled during pre-ragistration. IN HIS announcement D e an Huntley stated, "We feel that we can better protect the interests of the majority of students by delaying registration for an overload." No student will be allowed to register for an overload during the pre-registration period or the regular registration period on January 2, 1953. Students may clear the addition of overload during the first three days of the official c li a n g c-in-registration period January 5-7 without payment of the change fee, but the lcgular overload fee of $2.00 per credit hour1 will be assessed. PRE-REGISTRATION dales for a normal quarter-hour load will ie; seniors—Monday, Nov. 17; juniors, Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 18-19; • sophomores—Thurs-ed 20,000 spectators. Deadeye Dudley Spence, the McComb, Miss., senior will answer the call to lead the Plainsmen from his quarterback position. Spence, who leads SEC passers with a 60.9 per cent completion average, has connected on 53 of 87 passes for 682 yards and four touchdowns in six games. Against Wofford, he tied a conference mark by completing 11 passes in a row. THE MAROON'S JACK Parker, Spence's counterpart at quarterback, heads Coach Murray Warmath's charges and is the pri- Campus Fund Drive Now In Full Swing The All-Campus Chest Drive, sponsored by the Drives Committee of the Student Executive Cabinet, is being held Thursday through Saturday of this week. A goal of $1,000 has been set for the drive. The funds will be divi ded among, such charities as American H e a r t Association, World Student Service Fund, API Student Loan Fund, and Alabama Community Chest. No other fund raising effort will be made this ytear. Collection boxes are set up at Main Gate, Thach Hall, Cary Hall, Comer Haii, and in all dormitories. The large barometer built by the Builder's Guild in Ross Square shows the progress of the drive. Student Convocations Set Two student convocations will be held during National education week. Scheduled for Thach Auditorium, the meetings will include education juniors, seniors and graduate students on Thursday morning at 10, and members of the lower classes at 9 a.m. Friday. mary objective of the Plainsman defense. Parker currently leads the conference in scoring and ranks third nationally. Spence has at his command a trio of powerful runners to perform the ball-carrying duties. Charlie "Big Boy" Littles, Charlie Hataway, and Bobby Freeman constitute the starting Auburn backfield. BILL TURNBEAUGH, the Tu-cumcari, N.M., giant, who is Auburn's All-America candidate, is counted upon to wreck Mississippi State's strong ground attack from his left tackle position. Of late, Turnbeaugh's had plenty of help from Guard Bill Kilpatrick in halting enemy runners. In six games this season, the Maroons have broken even with wins over Arkansas State, Kentucky, and North Texas State. Losses have been inflicted by Tennessee, Alabama, and Tulane. Last week in New Orleans, the Maroons lead Tulane 14-13 at the half, only to fall to a Greenie rally for a 34-21 loss. CAPT. LEE HAYLEY, who has caught as many touchdown passes as anyone in the Big Twelve (17 receptions for 327 yards and four tallies), combines with right ends Bill Larimore and Jim Hall, both outstanding sophomores, to give Spence adequate aerial targets. Maroon fullback Joe Fortunato has helped pile-drive State into the list of America's top offensive teams. Fortunato was an All-SEC linebacker last year and plays both offense and defense. COACH WARMATH, an all-conference performer at Tennessee in 1934, came to Mississippi State this year after spending three years as head line coach under Army's Earl "Red" Blaik. He is a native of Humboldt, Tenn. HAVING A GREAT season as Auburn's defensive right end is Jack Langford, senior from Griffin, Ga. A converted back, Langford has been folding up enemy interference like an accordion, and has come in for a highly creditable share of the tackles. I Student Leaders From API-Bama To Meet Monday Fourteen Auburn students and two administrative representatives will travel to Tuscaloosa Monday for a conference with student leaders at the University of Alabama. The meeting, an annual affair since the resumption of athletic relations between the schools, will work out details for the Auburn- 'Bama game in Birmingham November 29. The Auburn delegation will depart early Monday morning and arrive on the university campus shortly before noon. The API group will have dinner in various fraternity houses on the Bama campus, and will return to Auburn Monday night. MEMBERS OF the Auburn delegation will be Jimmy Baird, Don Johnson, Ollie Mae Holbrook, Dennis Calhoun, Bill Mattison, Jim Linebergcr, Dick Gilliland, Walter Albritton, Max Hall, Joyce Goff, Denny Ray, Stuart Leach, Bob Mayo and George Uthlaut.

The sale will be held in the lobby of Samford Hall, between the hours of 8-12 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m. Ellis stated. 2-A—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, Nov. 7, 1952 i Auburn Alumni Association Grows As Services To Graduates Increase By Gay Hogan The Auburn Alumni Association, since its beginning in 1898, has developed from a two-man p a r t - t i m e project into a full time job for six staff members and an eight member adm i n i s t r a t i v e staff. The Alumni Association was reorganized in 1945 as its field for work was increased, and as the number oL alumni to be served grew, 'me personnel now includes an executive secretary, an editor of the Alum news, and four office workers. The executive s t a ff consists of a president, an executive committee of six, plus the past president of the Association, who serves ex officio. THE ANNUAL business meeting, traditionally held on Homecoming Day each fall, will be called mainly this year to elect officers for the coming two-year term. With the Saturday election of officers, William C. Sugg, the immediate president, will automatically asume the position of ex-officio for the coming two years, and another executive staff will be selected. THE DUTIES OF the expanded Alumni Association have increased with the growing membership.

To foster and encourage services to the state through programs, enlarged educational enterprises, and services of API. THE ALUM NEWS is the Association's biggest means of fulfilling these three goals. Edited by Ed Crawford, the Alumnews is mailed free of charge each month to 22,500 graduates to inform them of activities of fellow classmen, as well as organizational, social, sports and administrative activities on the campus. It is also the Alumnews policy to publish news concerning the three branches of the college— Instruction, Extension, and Research. THE EDITOR is responsible for editing all material which comes to him from these various sources, and he is also responsible for the layout, style and format of the paper. A monthly publication, the Alumnews is supported almost entirely by membership dues, with little financial aid from the college. With more help from the alumni the paper could be issued completely independent of the college. For $100 an alumnus can have a life membership; or if he wishes, he can pay on the installment plan—not less than $20 each year for not more than five consecutive years. Regular membership dues are $5 a year. ALUMNI CLUBS do their part in keeping the alumni in touch with their alma mater. Clubs supporting the Alumni Association are required by the constitution and by-laws to membership in the National Association. This requirement provides funds for the National Association to maintain its Auburn's Alpha Phi Omega Chapter Operates Non-protit Book Exchange By Les Ford Since its founding, Auburn's Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega has been one of the leading chapters of the national organization, as well as one of the outstanding service organizations on the campus. Alpha Phi Omage was founded at LaFayette College on December 16, 1925. Shortly there after, the third chapter was formed en the API campus, but due to a mixup in the records, the chapter was named Delta rather than Gamma. Since that time the organization has grown into the largest national service fraternity, with 258 active chapters. The organization is made up of students who have had experience in scouting, attained a 2.0 overall scholastic average, and who receive enjoyment by rendering service to others. At present, •there are 25 active members in Delta chapter with Bill Parks as president and Dave Loiry, Tom Radney, Marvin Barron, Denny Ray, and DeWayne McCauley serving in the other elective positions. IN PROMOTING such projects as the student book exchange, blood campaigns, scout troops, ugly man contests, and freshmen orientation guidance, Auburn's Alpha Phi Omega has become will known for its services rendered both on campus and off. Under the directorship of faculty advisor Prof. A. L. Thomas, a charter member of Delta, the chapter is fast gaining a reputation as one of the strongest of the 258. Delta Chapter has installed five other chapters on surrounding campuses, including fraternities at Emory, Howard, and Georgia Tech. Next on the installation agenda will be the formal initiation of a chapter on the campus of Tus-kegee Institute which will require the Auburn degree team to memorize the ritual. IN THE PAST Delta Chapter has sponsored many campus projects, but, at the present it is chiefly engaged in sponsoring the non-profit book exchange and the annual "Ugliest Man on the Campus" contest, proceeds of which po to such objectives as the bronze plaque which the group plans to attach to the lathe in the near future. it staff and to provide means that .until! his death in 1948. the larger Auburn Clubs help the smaller obtain the same services. Plans for the Alumni sojourn on the campus include reunion dinners for the Class of '02, the Class of '09, and the Class of '27, as well 3F other group parties during the weekend. An open house for all Alumni has been set for Friday night, and the annual business meeting of the Association will take place in Langdon Hall on Saturday morning. Duties As Hostess, Mother, Wife Occupy Time Of API's First Lady By Tarn Duke » Auburn's gracious "first lady," Mrs. Caroline Draughon, will have a full weekend welcoming many old friends and alumni who will be among the great influx of former Au-b u r n i t e s expected to visit the P l a i n s for t h e 1952 Homecoming activities. But it'll be no new experience for the President's wife. She's busy the year round presiding over a multitude of social functions for the college and acting as hostess to dozens of official Visitors. Yet despite her official duties, Mrs. Draughon finds the time for her two children, and to be a capable companion on many of. Dr. Draughon's fishing and hunting trips. MRS. DRAUGHON is a native of Orrville, in Dallas County, and she received her education at Selma High School and Huntingdon. While at Huntingdon she did work in foreign languages while majoring in home ecoonmics, but according to her husband, she "learned all the home economics she knows by experimenting on me." Dr. and Mrs. Draughon first met at Auburn during a summer sessions but their courtship did not begin until later, when Dr. Draughon was principal in an Orrville school. They were married after a two-year courtship. IN 21 YEARS of married life, Auburn has been the only residence of the Draughon's. They moved here when Dr. Draughon received a temporary appointment in the history department, and remained here during his years as a professor and as administrative assistant to the late Dr. L. N. Duncan, API president Mrs. Draughon confesses that she was a little awed by the sudden increase in her responsibilities when they moved into the presidential mansion following Dr. Draughon's appointment as API chief executive. The biggest social events Mrs. Draughon is called on to handle are the graduation receptions at the end of each quarter. Refreshments for these gatherings are arranged by the School of Home THE VILLAGE First In sportswear Economics and college dining hall personnel, but all other details are the responsibility of Mrs. Draughon and Mrs. Wallace Tid-more, receptionist in the president's office. BESIDES FISHING and hunting, Mrs. Draughon's top interests are sewing, gardening, and reading. She likes to travel with Dr. Draughon on his t r i ps throughout the state whenever possible'.

Construction was begun late last spring by Batson-Cook Co., contractors for the project. Obstacles encountered on the job included moving more than 60,000 cubic feet of earth before actual building could start, but, as the picture shows, concrete pouring is now in full swing. THIS SKETCH IS the architect's conception of the edifice which will be available to students and alumni upon completion of the Union Building project. The building will occupy some 76,000 square feet of floor space, and will house a ballroom, Alumni Offices, faculty club space, a snack bar, and recreation facilities for students. The cost of furniture and equipment will run the total tariff for the building well over $1,000,000.

AUBURN GRILLE API's Physical Plant Continues Rapid Expansion By Charles Sullivan With the recent^ completion of five new women's dorms and the inauguration of Union Building construction, Auburn's multi-million dollar building program nears realization. Evidences of further progress toward "A Greater Auburn" may be seen near the Women's Quadrangle and in Graves Centre. Workmen are remodeling and enlarging the Women*^; Dining Hall at the south end of the quadrangle. Plainsman Dining Hall, which serves meals for API athletes, has recently been built in the Graves Centre area. The five new coed dormitories are located in an area about 200 yards south of the four quadrangle dorms. Approximately 480 girls moved into their new homes at the start of the fall quarter. UNION BUILDING construction was slowed considerably by the steel strike last spring, according to Sam Brewster, director of the department of buildings and grounds. However, the supply of steel is now normal and work is continuing on the million dollar structure which will be located immediately east of Alumni Gym. Conversion of the Women's Dining Hall to cafeteria style should be completed within seven or eight months. Three serving lines and four entrances will enable 1,200 students to dine in the cafeteria within an hour. Roosevelt Drive, the street directely south of the dining hall, will be eliminated to make room for the enlarged building. In addition to the construction of the five dormitories, the former Theta Chi house on Mell Street has been remodeled and houses several dozen coeds. A spacious dining room in the dorm has been remade into a social center. The quadrangle numbering system is continued for the new dorms with the numerals 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 used to designate the buildings. PLANS CALL for the eventual construction of two more dorms on the western portion of the dormitory area. These dorms will be numbered 10 and 11. As a result of this placement system, the former Theta Chi house on the eastern side of the main dorms is number 12. Designed in simplified Georgian style by Warren, Knight, and Davis of Birmingham, the new coed dorm group was constructed by Daniel Construction Co. of Birmingham. The total project, including furniture, cost $1,543,- 686. Work began on the Union Building in May, 1952. The first phase cf construction, consisting of the three-level building, should be completed by the beginning of the fall quarter of 1953. Recreation areas and and another floor to provide accommodations for guests may be added later, stated Ernest D. Nix, superintendent of construction. OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN, the Union, Building plans were formulated by Pearson, Tittle, and Narrows of Montgomery. Batson, Cook Construction Co. of West Point, Ga., is erecting the structure. Student government and alumni offices will be housed in the Union Building. A hobby shop, large college-operated book store," faculty club, and a ballroom are featured in the plans. The building will also have a cafeteria and snack bar. Without the recreation areas and extra floor, the cost will run slightly over a million dollars. ' i n January, 1952, the second unit of Magnolia dormitory was finished. This duplicate dorm was constructed in the same Georgian style as the original section. It is connected to the first unit. The complete Magnolia Hall dormitory accommodates 931 men, two living in each room. The pharmacy department moved into Miller Hall last spring quarter. Situated on Thach Avenue just east of Cary Hall, the new pharmaceutical classroom and laboratory building was completed in February, 1952, at a cost of $218,- 114. Miller Hall was named on June 1, 1952, for Emerson R. Miller, Auburn's first pharmacy pro-fesor.

ODK, who ran their winning streak to 10 consecutive games Wednesday, triumphed by the lopsided score of 1-0. All the scoring ocurred in a sudden death overtime period. Although five deep at every position, Blue Key was unable to stage a decisive offensive drive, as efforts in that direction wilted before the vicious charging of the ODK forward wall. In the overtime period, ODK's offensive unit utilized deft ball-handling and powerful blocking to grind out sufficient yardage for the victory. Outstanding men in the ODK line were Joe Stegall, Steve Adair, "Foots" Laney, Ned Ellis, Hap Tillery, Max Hall, Dennis Calhoun and Stuart Leach. The backfield punch was provided by Bill Fal-kenbeiry, Jim Baird, and Denny Ray. For Blue Key, the much-vaunted "Crazy-legs" Lineburger was unimpressive.

Alumni Will See A Few Changes Little Man On CantpuV by BiMef Thousands of A u b u r n sons and daught e r s will be s u r p r i s e d at t h e changes they'll i o t i c e in A P I ' s physical plant on t h e i r tour of t h e Loveliest Village d u r i n g this Homecoming weekend. But we feel that it'll b e a pleasant surprise. Those alumni who haven't visited Aub u r n since last Homecoming will see new a n d modern dormitories, new classroom buildings, more coeds t h a n ever before, a long awaited Union Building in the emb r y o n i c stage of construction, and many additional structures j u t t i n g up all over t h e campus—all of which symbolize the ever expanding progress being made t h r o u g h the synonomous efforts of today's administration, alumni, and student body. But w h e t h e r alumni of 1902 or of 1951, t h e r e ' s one t h i n g t h a t will be t h e same— t h e strong, binding spirit that always c l e a r l y marks a n A u b u r n man. No numb e r of physical changes will ever change or remove t h a t cardinal characteristic of Auburn. It is the intangible Auburn s p i r i t that is responsible for t h e flood of alumni that comes pouring onto the f Plains each year at Homecoming time. They come back to pay t r i b u t e to their Alma Mater, to yell and root for t h e Plainsmen football team to pound the daylights out of their turf opponent on the big Saturday, to talk over the "good old days" at class reunions, to l e a r n how they can b e t t er serve the school at alumni meetings, to r e n ew old acquaintances, to shout "War Eagle" in a town where nothing is more familiar, to get a cup at The Grille, to point w i t h pride to t h e improvements that have enabled Auburn to emerge as one of the South's greatest universities, or in summation, to enjoy another Auburn Homecoming. Present students, as well as alumni, will join i n t h e activities of this gigantic weekend. Today's s t u d e n t s will glow with a deep sense of gratification as t h e y see old grads r e t u r n to t h e Village; they'll realize that even after graduation, Aub u r n men and women a r e bound to the Plains w i t h u n b r e a k a b l e ties of love and admiration. As we issue a sincere welcome to visiting alumni this week, we know that many former Auburnites will consider ours and their many other salutations as routine. But with us, it's something more than an ordinary editorial. It's the most appropr i a t e time of t h e year for us to honor and recognize those directly responsible for A u b u r n ' s great achievements as a univers i ty dedicated to higher learning: the Aub u r n students of today and yesterday. Theirs is the task of continuing the promotion of Auburn that has greatly influenced its progress in the past. Again, we say welcome, alumni; we hope you enjoy this Homecoming weekend. But at the same time, we urge you not to forget your responsibility as A u b u r n graduates to further the ideals, t r a d i t i o n s , aims, and best interests of API wherever you go. Rat Caps: A Worthwhile Tradition? We all talk proudly of our many tradit i o n s at Auburn. But we wonder now many students and faculty members are r e a l l y interested in keeping API traditions alive. Now, mid-way through the fall quarter, i t appears that at least one of Auburn's fine, colorful traditions is dying a slow but sure death. Take a look around today and see how many rat caps you see dotting t h e campus. Only a few, we dare say. Yet for years, Auburn freshmen have been symbolized by the colorful orange caps. Many of the old grads down for Homecoming can probably remember the days when Plainsman freshmen not only wore their rat caps, but were proud to.de so. . A u b u r n freshmen are not compelled to . wear their caps, except now and then by f r a t e r n i t i e s and sororities. And it's seldom t h a t the Greeks take particular pains to see that this rule is s t r i c t ly obeyed. This i s the way it should be. We do not feel t h a t A u b u r n frosh should be made to wear r a t caps against their will; t h a t ' s not the A u b u r n way of doing things. But certainly upperclassmen should encourage freshmen to observe this tradition; if it's done in good spirit, t h e n it's highly likely that freshmen will feel proud to adorn their heads with rat caps. Many int e r e s t e d upperclassmen seem disturbed over the frosh laxity of wearing rat caps, and are attempting to show this fall's plebes that they are killing a fine school custom by refusing to wear their r a t caps. A concerned coed s t a r t e d the ball rolling with a l e t t e r to the editor in this week's edition (See "Backfire"). We think it's the duty of upperclassmen to see t h a t this t r a d i t i o n does not die. A few students are especially concerned with pyr. r a t cap s i t u a t i on at the beginning pf every fall quarter, but only so long as it takes t h em to sell several h u n d r e d caps. If t h e r e is good reason for selling the caps, t h e n certainly there is equally creditable reason for encouraging freshmen to wear them. The Plainsman extends an open invitation to students to write us their views on t h e rat cap situation. This can be one way of s t i r r i n g up interest. We wonder if Auburnites really have any concern for the traditions of this college. A Win Over State Could Be Turning Point A win over Mississippi State could be t h e t u r n i n g point in Auburn's '52 grid season, and for that reason we urge any who might be "down" on the Tigers to give Shug J o r d a n ' s team their full support in t h e Homecoming battle tomorrow. Those who a r e disappointed in Jordan's g r i d m e n for not having breezed through such terrific opponents as Maryland, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, Tulane, and Florida •had best give this situation another thought. A great football team is not built i n a day, weeks, or months; it takes years, and those who know will testify that this i s t r u e with almost every powerful team in t h e nation today. A u b u r n is building steadily upward toward a winning team, and we feel that the time is not far off when Shug J o r d a n ' s will be one of the most highly respected squads in the Southeastern Conference. One essential in the development of a successful football team is student support; without t h i s vital element, the job is made a much tougher one for the team's coaching staff. • With the entire student body out yelling for them every Saturday, the Tigers will feel more like winning, and they're likely to try a lot harder when the odds a r e against them. So, let's get behind the team, yell like crazy for them tomorrow, and hope t h a t they'll pound State and head i n to the home stretch on the victory road. the 7*2(' ' &2W* . ^^^F ,.

Grads Bring Back Memories To Plains; Campus Spirit Should Reach Peak By H e r b e r t White Alumni will flock into A u b u r n today and tomorrow from every conceivable direction. They will bring to the campus memories of t h e glorious times t h e y had while a t t e n d i n g API. They will recall t h e days when A u b u r n was t h e powerhouse of Southeastern Conference' football. Names like Hitchcock, Gilbert, Gafford, Warrington, Sher ling, Newell, Russell and countless others will enter into the numerous conversations as games of yesteryear are replayed once more. Cherished recollections of fraternity parties, wild weekends, hard work and friendly surroundings are all inter-mingled to form memories that will live forever in the minds of the individual. This friendly atmosphere that was so obvious years ago is almost gone today. When these grads come to the "Loveliest Village" the spirit will be the first thing they will look for and it will be hard to find. At one time Auburn was known as the "friendliest college in the United States." Today, the Auburn spirit has suffered a heart attack; it is not dead, but in a coma, which only you and I can cure. Our spirit is far below the level of those years when the "WAR EAGLE" spirit was acclaimed as the most outstanding among colleges in the nation. What is the main cause in this lack of f riendlines and school spirit which can be seen daily here at Auburn? The answer to this question should be plain to everyone: we have simply become so engrossed in ourselves that we neglect the essential courtesy—Speaking. Those of us who have forgotten the joy of giving a friendly greeting to our classmates arc contributing to the down-fall of one of Auburn's greatest traditions. So, this weekend, let's bring a proud gleam to the eyes of our loyal alumni by booming a freindly greeting to everyone, whether we know them or not. Even if it is true that API has surpassed the University in enrollment, this does not mean that we have to surpass them in snobbishness also. Ford Auburn's Enrollment No Rivalry Basis By Les Ford And of their vain contest appeared no end—Milton • According to the latest reports, t h e number of students enrolled on the Auburn campus exceeds the number on the University campus again this year; this time by almost 1,100 students. Figures released by Bama's dean of admissions William F. Adams s t a te that there arc 5,135 students enrolled on the Tuscaloosa campus. The numb e r compares with 6,400 for API and means that for another y e a r Auburn has the largest on campus enrollment of any school in Alabama, a title it has held only for the last two and a half years. I do not have figures as to the total enrollment both on campus and off for Auburn, but the University's total is 8,827, which is considerably more than API can muster. However, the Loveliest Village docs not have the medical and denial schools and University Centers which account for a little over 2,000'of the combined total. Even though Auburn has led in the field of campus enrollment since 1950, it was not until this year that the Plains even came close to the University coed enrollment. And even now, with the completion of the five new girls dormitories, Auburn's 1,550 coeds docs not equal Bama's 1,755, and it will probably be sometime before there will be extra Women's dormitories necessary to provide sizeable increase in Auburn's coed enrollment. These statistics arc just facts and by no means imply that Auburn is boastful over its plurality or that Auburn is competing with the University in the position where Bama has the larger numbers. I can see no evidence that (Continued on page 5-A) Backfire FROM OUR READERS LETTERS POLICY: All letters to the editor must be signed by the author and accompanied by return addresses. On a writer's request, his name may be withheld. Unsigned letters will not be printed. The Plainsman welcomes letters to the editor, but reserves the right to omit any letter because of nature or content. Dear Editor: Attention has been called to the upperclassmen of a matter which deserves immediate attention of The Plainsman. This "matter" is the wearing of rat caps by the freshmen. Is there not some means that you may employ to encourage the upholding of this situation? The freshmen, men and women, have become most lax in observing this important campus rule. I speak for a number of Auburnites who share the same sentiment about the wearing of rat caps. At football games, or other campus functions, the number of freshman beanies worn is relatively small in proportion to the number of freshmen attending these affairs. The Orange and Blue cap should be an integral part of each freshman's life. Other colleges and universities enforce and uphold the freshman cap tradition. Why doesn't Auburn? Also, the encouragement of a freshman's desire to be recognized by this "universal symbol" would add greatly to the Auburn school spirit. Will you please give thought and attention to this matter of utmost importance. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Myrtle B. Burford A small boy was asked by his father, a well-known contractor, what he would want for Christmas. "A baby brother," replied the boy. "But it's only two weeks to Christmas," said the father, "and that doesn't give me enough time." "I know, Pop, but can't you put more men on the job." Freshman Candidates Run Campaigns Well By Max Hall Maybe it's a bad practice to occupy space in the student newspaper with comment directed at a small group of the student body, but this opus will be aimed primarily at 11 freshmen. Two of these " r a t s " will represent their class in t h e student senate, while the other nine are doomed, temporarily at least, to the very special limbo reserved for unsuccessful candidates. By this time, the victors have been liberally congratulated by friends and constituents. To provide a change, we'd like to include the losers in our good wishes. The most encouraging thing about the current campus campaign was the v i g o r w i th which a l l 11 aspirants for t h e freshman senate s e a ts conducted their programs, while m o s t upper-class candidates followed the trend of apathy which has evidently gained a firm hold on fall elections. Maybe the freshmen j u st Hall haven't been here long enough to find out that "fall elections don't carry any weight anyhow," or maybe they're too new to campus politics to realize that "everything's worked out in the big wheels' coffee sessions." Regardless of the reason for their gross ignorance, the frosh conducted an active, well founded and interesting campaign. Among the platforms printed in The Plainsman week before last, those of the freshmen showed more diligent preparation than those of any other group. Granted that they were not as well written as some, but they showed \ more constructive thought and more personal initiative than many of the upperclassmen in the race. The first year students have made their choice, and we're confident that freshman senate seats will be ably filled during the coming year. Judging from their campaigns, the new senators have . already picked up a workable grasp of campus affairs, and by keeping an eye on the senate veterans, they should prove useful to student government. It is to the losers, however, that these remarks are particularly addressed. Extracurricular activities at Auburn need the kind of spirit which these freshmen displayed in the current campaign. Under the present system, the two senate seats are the only elective positions which freshmen may fill, but there are dozens of other niches into which an active and interested first year student may fit. From experience, we can say that losing an election Is discouraging. In campus elections, however, there needn't be a loser. Each of the candidates met people and made connections • which he can still use if he is genuinely interested in campus affairs. So, to the -unelected freshmen, we say: Don't give up. You have thre0 more years on the campus, and if you are sincerely interested, Auburn needs you! A Word With Sully Were Better Lists Did Not Exist Do you list? Two types of people exist, those who make lists and those who forget everything. We have our black lists, date lists, two dean's lists, l a u n d r y lists, work lists, study lists, shopping lists, check lists, and things to be done if anyone •ever gets the time lists. People who no longer have to do any work or study s p e nd their time de-v i s i n g work lists and study lists. These lists are like most railroad timetables, the only thing you can tell from them is how far behind you are. Shopping lists make it possible for men to spend as much money as women. A husband with a shopping list becomes the grocery-buying slave of his wife. These lists should be outlawed in all civilized countries and Russia. Black lists serve to keep alive life's little irritations that are better forgotten. Date lists serve the same purpose. As for the two dean's lists, they recognize outstanding talent in two different directions. Check lists are frequently found pasted over spots on walls, and may also be discovered resting quietly in wastebaskets. Included in this category are personality improvement lists, vehicle maintenance lists, reading lists and lists of coming events. The primary; purpose of check lists is to be put in prominent places and never referred to again. Other degrees of lists occur. There is the beverage list, which is about 10 degrees from vertical People with this list soon find By Charles Sullivan themselves horizontal with no list at all. During this weekend one may see many examples of the beverage l i s t . Everyone isn't prone to list, but those who list may soon be prone. Then, there is the laundry list or sheet list. Contrary to popular opinion, this list simply lets one know what items the laundry has lost during the week. Things to be done if anyone ever gets the time lists arc very popular. They include tasks such as discovering what ever became of Lucy, buying that Fifth (Beethoven's), finding out why your roommate's hair turn green when he hangs from the ceiling, finding out if Uncle Joe Stalin is really an uncle, and making a list. All listers abide by one basic principle. They always make a duplicate of their list, then if they lose the first one, they will always have the second one to ignore. Tiger Lilies Florida Has Flag—Why Not Auburn? There arc all kinds of flags: national, Confederate, state, United Nations, and city. Last S a t u r d a y in Gainesville, Fla., we were present at the birth of a n ew flag, and a very att r a c t i v e one, too. During the colorful half-time show at the Florida-Auburn game, the University of Florida unfurled their school flag for the first time. Of the same design as the Confederate flag, the university's banner had blue stars in the orange cross, which was outlined in blue, on an orange field. In the triangle formed by two sides of the cross and the flag staff were the big, bold and blue letters "UF." Wc had never seen an official college flag before, and were very impressed, especially with the appropriate southern design. Auburn would do well to follow Florida's example and get a school flag. It's too bad that API can not unfurl one at our Homecoming game tomorrow, but why couldn't some organization sponsor a design contest among the students and faculty and introduce an Auburn flag to the crowd at the Alabama game? It seems to us that this would be a project really worthwhile for ODK, Blue Key, APhiO, or some other service group, and we think both the group and the contest winner would deserve several box car-loads of Tiger Lily bouquets. * * * "•*• WE'D LIKE to present every alumni on the Plains this weekend with either a corsage or bou-tonnier of Tiger Lilies in the way of welcome. .It's great to see so By JoAnnc Lucci many old friends back at the Loveliest Village for all of the festivities, and we hope they enjoy1 this Homecoming as a homecoming has never been enjoyed before. Welcome home, Grads! • * * A BLOSSOM to Florida students for making Auburnites welcome at their Homecoming game. All day and most of the night the beautiful campus rocked with "War Eagles" and "Gator Bait," in the spirit of friendly rivalry. The API aggregation was especially appreciative of the hospitality extended by such places as Florida fraternity houses, private homes, and Canterbury Student Center to their overnight guests from Auburn. Those Floridians, by the way, have school spirit that comes close to matching Auburn's.

The band will begin their half-time program with a fanfare from the end zone. Band < members will peel off rank by rank and march individually to the center of the field playing the "Auburn Victory March." When the band is back in formation it will play a fan-fare and do some intricate movements. AS THEY PLAY the march, they will do some fancy flank movements to a silent cadence. Involved steps to a bit of "Tiger Rag" will conclude the drill part of the show. The band will next feature the All Campus • and Community Chest drive by forming GIVE and then a feather while playing "Love Thy Neighbor." Then they will form a piggy bank and play "Pennies from Heaven" while throwing pennies in the bank. A CROWN will be formed and the band will play "Girl of my Dreams" to honor the homecoming queen and her court. Then the queen and her court will be presented into the crown. The program will be completed by the formation of API while they play "The Alma Mater." API's present Auburn Band had its beginning in 1899 under the direction of Thomas N. Fullman, giving Auburn the distinction of having the oldest colle'ge band in the South. THE ORIGINAL band had one instrument, a tenor horn affectionately named "Betsy;" and until more instruments were bought, all the candidates for the band had to take turns practicing on "Betsy." Since the days of Fullman, the band has had only three~-direct-ors. In 1906 Albert "Suzie" Band Director Dave Herbert Thomas replaced Fullman to begin a 16 year reign as the weilder of the baton. Thomas was followed by Paul Rubens "Beedie" Bidez who was known to h i s bandsmen as "Chief." He relinquished his position to his assistant, David Herbert, who had been responsible for many of the improvements of the band since his arrival on the campus in 1948. HERBERT is a graduate of Carleton C o l l e g e , Northfield, Minn., and did graduate work at L o u i s i a n a State University. Charles Bentley, a member of the Auburn music faculty, is assistant director. Throughout the proud history of the Auburn band, four presidential performances are recorded. Enrollment Rivalry (Continued from page 4-A) the API administration or its students have any idea of enrollment competition between the two schools. But, Auburn's tremendously increasing eritdllmeht se'emsto have disturbed certain parties on the University campus. In fact, a reliable source has informed me that there has been a committee formed at Tuscaloosa, which has as one of its objectives to determine why Alabama's high school graduates are becoming more prone to choose Auburn as their future ulma mater rather than Bama. The concern over Alabama's enrollment situation was also shown in an editorial published in the Crimson-White last week, entitled "You, The Salesman." The author urged the Bama students to "talk University back home" and. to write personal letters to future high school graduates, inviting them up for a weekend to enjoy the Alabama-Chattanooga football game. Tickets for this game are supplied free to high school students by the University of Alabama. Concern over enrollment is not ;m evil; in fact, both our schools could do far more extensive public relations work which would encourage high school graduates to seek higher learning. But, Auburn ites do not have a "let's outdo the University" attitude and the cry of the war eagle says, "let's restrict the rivalry to the sports."

Players Offer Drama Saturday Night By Charles Sullivan The Auburn Players will present "Outward Bound," a comedy-drama by Sutton Vane, in Langdon Hall tomorrow night at 8:15. Judging by their two previous performances of this three-act drama, the Players will give their audience a smooth and entertaining production. Directed by Robert L. Knowles, dramatic arts instructor, the play found its strength in characterization rather than action. Vane's creation centered around seven personalities — a minister, socialite, industralist, d r u n k, scrubwoman and the inevitable lovers—all aboard a small ocean liner voyaging toward an unknown destination. Starting slowly, the play gathers interest as the ship's passengers discover their true condition and destination. ENOUGH TWISTS and turns are in the plot to keep everyone, including the actors, guessing as to the final outcome. The author's ideas concerning Heaven and Hell might not jibe with certain widely held views, but they certainly provide a lively third act. Some doubt existed as to whether, laughter or humble silence would be appropriate after certain subtle lines. With typical good sense, Auburnites did both and disposed cf that question. The settings were not enough to make one seasick, but they sufficed. In addition to the seven performers already mentioned, a steward, who was the only one on board originally knowing his vessel's destination and a second minister, the examiner, completed the cast. Characterizations ranged from excellent to fair in comparison with the acting of other college thes-pians. John Grimm, as the brilliant but erratic drunkard so loved bv playwriters, gave a stimulating performance. Grimm and Frances Holland, who portrayed a gushing society leader, kept the audience awake during the first act.

JANE WYMAN Cartoon & News Four Groups Govern Students By Stuart Leach Four principal organizations comprise student government on the Auburn campus. Largest and most important of these groups is the Auburn student government itself, which rules over all undergraduate members of the student body. The Auburn student government is a medium through which the student may gain representation to the administration. There are a number of joint student-administration committees which decide virtually all matters that affect the student body collectively and individually. Under the leadership of president Jimmy Baird, student government begins this year of operation with a comparatively new organizational structure. This structure, which was inaugurated last fall, closely parallels our national government, in that it is divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The president and his 11 member cabinet comprise the executive branch of the student government organization. Each member of the cabinet has a particular field of student activity under his supervision, while it is the president's job to correlate these activities into a broader program. THE LEGISLATIVE powers of student government are granted to a senate which draws its membership from the five undergraduate classes of the college. The senate is presided over by Don John-sen, vice-president of the student body. The jurisprudence committee comprises the judicial branch of student government. It is the responsibility of this committee to rule on the legality of disputed legislation, and to give an interpretation of any passage of the study body constitution. SECOND ON the list of student governing organizations comes the Women's Student Government Association. This group has as its responsibility the representation of all women students in affairs that concern them exclusively. WSGA does not take precedence over student government, but acts as a subsidiary agency. In conjunction with the dean of women, WSGA sets the permission hours for coeds and decides all disciplinary problems concerning women. WSGA president for this school year is Ollie Mae Holbrook. The third governing organization, the Interfraternity Council, rules over only those students who are members or pledges of social fraternities. The membership of the IFC is made up of one representative from each of Auburn's 21 fraternities. The IFC sets rushing dates and general regulations t o g o v e r n fraternity action throughout the year. Interfraternity sports, Greek Week, and Open House participation are also sponsored by the IFC. President Jim Lineberger will preside over the Council throughout the coming year. THE PAN-HELLENIC Council is the fourth major governing organization for students here at Auburn. This group fulfills the same function for sororities as the IFC docs for fraternities. In addition to ruling over sororities, Pan-Hellenic sponsors several forums for the discussion of sorority problems encountered on the campus. This year's president is Joyce Goff. Textile Technology Department Head Has Extensive Plans Drawn For Future By Herb White The recent appointment of Cleveland L.. Adams, API graduate of 1932, as head of the textile technology department at API marks the beginning of a n ew era for that department. A native of Barbour County, Adams was the first Auburn g r a d u a t e in textile engineering. He is the only textile operating executive to head any de- ORDER HOMECOMING MUMS From Flowersmiths 122 N. College Phone 611 partment of textiles in recent years. For the last nine years, he has been associated with the West Point Manufacturing Company, first as head of the processing department of the research division, and later as technical director of Lanett Mill division. COMMENTING ON Adam's appointment. President Ralph Drau-ghon said: "We are delighted to have been able to obtain the services of Cleveland Adams as head of our department of textile technology. His long experience in the industrial field and his energy and ability will enable us to improve our instruction and research. "His wide knowledge of the problems of the industry will aid j us as we strive to serve the needs of our largest employers of indus- I trial workers." The primary objective under I the ambitious program already-planned by Adams is to develop at Auburn the kind of textile dc-j partment that will best serve the | interests of Alabama's largest in-i dustry. The Textile Building, with 32,- ! 000 feet of floor space as well as a great deal of machinery and equipment, will provide a proper physical plant at the present. THERE ARE approximately 50 students enrolled this year in the department of textile technology. "We should have at least three times that number," Adams says. "Neither the need nor the demand for textile graduates has ever been greater than now. "Alabama's t e x t i l e industry employs 51,800 persons, about 25 per cent of the state's total industrial working force. There are, conservatively, 10 jobs waiting for every textile graduate." At the present time, Auburn awards B.S. degrees in textile chemistry and in textile engineering. The new department head hopes to later institute a course in textile manufacturing, which will lead to administrative jobs. ADAMS HOPES, for example, t h a t industry, individuals or organizations will see the advantages in awarding scholarships and fellowships to the textile department. He also hopes to be able to obtain eventually mo're modern machinery and equipment upon which to train students so that they may serve the industry more effectively. Open House Plans In Beginning Stages Plans are being made to begin work on Auburn's second annual Open House program, according to Ned Ellis, chairman of the Open House Committee. Dates for the program are April 10 and 11. Due to the apparent success of last year's Open House program, Ellis was appointed by the student body president last spring to plan and coordinate the activities for a second program. Last year's celebration drew some 1,500 high school students and other visitors to the campus, and it is expected that this year's will draw considerably more. THE PURPOSES of the program are threefold: to show high school students the benefits of Auburn; to show alumni the progress which has been made, and to show the students of different schools what the other schools are doing.

AS THE HEROINE in a charwoman's clothing, Vangaline Lukes walked off with top acting honors. Her supposedly Cockney accent, which might remind an Englishman of East Brooklyn, distinguished her performance. Bill Manley enthusiastically personified the pompous and selfish industrialist. Manly did his part so well that one found it impossible to dredge up any sympathy for the egotistical businessman when he was doomed on his judgment day. Harry Durham, as The Reverend William Duke, compentently conveyed ;the idea of a hard-working and humble parson. Good lines and an ability to shrug helped Durham considerably. As the steward, Bill Bowles acted his part diligently. Perhaps Bowles may have jangled the nerves of some with his bouncing walk. THE YOUNG lovers, sighed by Lila Wright and Robert Nixon, clung convincingly to each other. Nixon, an expiring young actor, drooped around the stage in his t usual inimitable manner. On the program a fictitious name—George Spelvin—was listed as acting the | part of The Reverend Frank Thompson. Congratulations go to whoever played the part of the examining minister. His performance climaxed the play in more ways than one. We Would Like To Take This O p p o r t u n i t y To Say WELCOME GRADS it's not what you do Dancing can be lots of fun and relaxation.

Auburn Knights Ranked As Leader Among Southeastern College Bands By JoAnne Lucci "The nation's leading college dance band." That's how the Auburn Knights are often billed, and deservedly so. Proof of the ability of the Knights is the large number of former members who have advanced in the music field to play with such names as Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, and Stan Kenton. Except for a few years during World War II, the band has been active on the Auburn campus since it was formed in 1929. Since that time, it has b e c o m e well-known throughout the southeastern states, playing at almost every major college and university in the area. Evidence of the Knights' success can be seen in the fact that they are financially able to own all of their equipment, including a bus that they use for travel to and from engagements, a public address system, music stands, and a wire recorder for use at rehearsals. The band members themselves credit their success to the fact that they are a congenial group, socially as well as musically. Work and decisions are shared equally by the bandsmen, and they believe that this cooperation has helped make each member an intergral part of the band and aided in its progress. PLAYING EVERYTHING from a slow two-step to Dixieland jazz, a favorite with the Auburn students, the band considers itself a "modern dance band with a decided inclination toward a mild form of bop." Members of the band arc: Al Norman, leader and trumpet soloist; Marilynne Paler, vocalist; Rudy Blackmarr, business manager and trumpet; Bob Lewis, trumpet; Roy Bailey, trumpet, and Art Sturm, trumpet. Gene Mullins, trombone, (formerly with Krupa); Gene Smith-son, trombone; Jack Dresner, trombone; Julian Burgess, trombone; Harold Hornstrom, alto; Julian Stephens, alto; Carol Cunning-hem, tenor; Sonny Mayfield, tenor; Jimmy Newberne, baritone, (former leader of "The Plainsmen" Orchestra); Sam Ruth, bass; Mickey Miklic, drums, and Charles Ard, piano, (formerly with Dean Hudson). Tonight and tomorrow night the students and visitors will have a chance to see and hear the Knights for themselves at two homecoming dances at the student activities building.

THROAT. and Accessory Organs not Adversely Affected by Smoking Chesterfields FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE J A responsible consulting organization has reported 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 the 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."

SCANNING tHE PLAINS r FOOTS UHY Baby Tigers Meet Tech Tuesday In Final Home Game SPORTS EDITOR Partisan Fans May Watch Plainsmen Break Into SEC Win Column Tomorrow For the last three weeks, Coach Shug Jordan's spirited Plainsmen have spent their official playing time on a rocky road of football trips embracing Georgia Tech (Atlanta), Tulane (Mobile), and Florida (Gainesville), losing each time. As the Plainsmen remain at home tomorrow to perform before partisan fans, the probability of'winning over Mississippi State, fourth SEC game in a row for Auburn, is high. Despite an unimpressive one won, five lost record for this season, Auburn's is a good football team and better than last year's squad, : which broke even in a 10-game slate. The only disheartened people on the Plains are those who look only to the cold final figures. They overlook the calibre teams Auburn has faced. Four of the teams which won over the Plainsmen were ranked in the nation's first 20 the week they played, and of this quartet of Maryland, Tech, Ole Miss, and Florida, the first three are still unbeaten. Some 150 Auburn students (including a busload of. Lambda Chi's) journeying to Gainesville last week carried the retired Auburn spirit which seemed to impress the Floridians more than their own Gators' 31-21 win over the Plainsmen. I-aney In Gainesville, the Plainsmen exhibited their best play against a formidable opponent since the Maryland Opener. Though losing, the Plainsmeen stunned Florida's old grads (and others) by fighting to an early two touchdown lead before finally falling, 31-21, to a team which they upset, 14-13, here last homecoming. —Auburn Improves Offense Auburn played well to earn its 21 points which reflect a considerable amount of improvement in the Plainsman offense. The strong running of Charlie "Big Boy" Littles, the 1949 Andalusia All- America prepper, and Charles Hataway placed the Plainsmen's ground game on oar with the passing of quarterback Dudley Spence. (Spence snapped an Auburn record for passing set in 1946 by Travis Tidwell by throwing Auburn's sixth and seventh aerial touchdowns 6f the year to Bill Larrimore and Capt. Lee Hayley.) Coach Jordan praised center Ed Baker for his outstanding blocking in the offensive line against the rugged Gator forwards. Jim Dillion drew a favorable word from Florida Coach Bob Woodruff after stopping many Gator plays at his linebacking post. Dillion once reached out, caught the jersey of fleet J. Papa Hall, who had just flashed by, and with a mighty one-arm effort sent the Florida runner reeling backward. Dillion and Jack Locklear were magnificent backing up the Auburn line which was paced by Bill Kilpatrick and Bill Turnbeaugh. Only major injury sustained by the Plainsmen in Gainesville was Percy Alford who pulled several muscles in the collarbone area. At press time Alford was the only injured man, except Foy Thompson and Vince Dooley, who may miss the State game tomorrow. For Auburn, tomorrow's affair brings forth one realization: As*for as won-losts go, the Plainsmen are back against the wall if they are to finish 5-5 as they did last year. This calls for wins over the remainder of the Auburn foes—State, Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama—a tremendous job. TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT VOL. 79 SECTION B—6 PAGES AUBURN, ALABAMA FRIDAY, NOV. 7, 1952 Number 15 —Wreck Tech Tuesday Coach Dick McGowcn, the Auburn great of the late thirties, revealed this week that his Freshman footballers are ready to meet Tech's frosta here next Tuesday in an effort to avenge their big brothers' loss to the varsity Yellow Jackets a few weeks ago, and conclude their season unbeaten. Contrary to the thoughts, of most students that freshmen who have played in a varsity game are ineligible for a freshman contest, McGowcn will legally throw several members of the Auburn varsity into his starting lineup. Ray Mercer, Bobby Scarborough, Joe Childress, Fob James, and M. L. Brackctt are among those varsity men upon whom Coach Mc- Gowen can call (unless Coach Jordan declines to risk their injury because of varsity necessities) to team with his regulars. Thus far the Tiger frosh have beaten Alabama's Baby Elephants (for the first time in history) and Georgia's Bullpups, mainly on the passing of Bill Burbank and the running of Billy Whitten and James. DEADLY DUDLEY SPENCE * * * Hayley, Spence Picked To Play In Blue-Gray Tilt As the Plainsman went to press Thursday, it was learned that Montgomery's Blue-Gray committee has selected Capt. Lee Hayley and Dudley Spence to play for the Grays in the annual classic in Crampton Bowl late in December. The selection of Captain Hayley kept alive an old Auburn tradition, placing at least the Plainsman grid captain each year in the affair. Spence is the first Auburn quarterback to play for the Grays since Travis Tidwell in 1949. Tom Banks performed there for the Plainsman in 1950, and Ed "Foots" Bauer represented Auburn last year. The Spence-Hayley pass combination is as good as any seen in the conference this year and should give Blue-Gray fans some thrills. Alabama's Bobby Marlow and Clell Hobson, along with Hayley and Spence were the first players selected by the Blue-Gray committee for the Gray team, which is to be coached by Clem-son's Frank Howard. • * * . - . - . • : - • : - : • : • : • : - : • : • : • . - • : • : • ; - • • ; • ; • ' • . • ; • ; •: AUBURN FRESHMEN READY to wreck Georgia Tech's frosh next Tuesday here are Fob James (23), Johnny Adams (47), Billy Whitten (36), Bill Burbank (15), Ray Mercer (39), Jim Pyburn (50), Vince Nardone (58), Frank Abt, Frank D'Agostino (67), Bob Englefield (68), and M.

M Bobby Freeman Tiger halfback Florida Trips Tigers In Harrier Meet As Atkins Shines By Larry Conner Long striding Ewart Atkins, mainstay of Coach Wilbur Hutsell's cioss-country squad led the pack over the finish line in the Auburn- Florida meet last Monday morning in Cliff Hare Stadium, but hot on his heels came four Gators who accounted for Florida's 22-36 victory (the low score wins.) It was an" unseasonably hot clay for Auburn which doubtless enhanced the chances of the Florida runners. All but one of them, that is; Kenny Howard and the Florida trainer had to go out and look for this tired Gator after the race. The high light of the race was the determined stretch drive by Atkins to nose out Florida's Ordonez by 6/10ths of a second for first place honors. Plainsmen's Versatile Dudley Spence Gets Top Billing In Game Tomorrow By Foots Laney Top billing for tomorrow's Cliff Hare Stadium feature goes to Auburn's versatile quarterback, Dudley Spence, conjurer of the local gridiron, who passes and kicks with the best in the nation. Spence, a senior from McComb, Miss., first opened Auburn eyes in 1951, when he handled the Plainsmen Threaten Gators Early, Later Succumb To Florida Power By Foots Laney After scoring two early touchdowns which threatened to spoil Florida's homecoming-centennial celebrations, Auburn's gallant Plainsmen finally fell 31-21 to the Gators Saturday, before 35,500 spectators who gathered to see the feature attraction of a three-day "Florida Cheers 100 Years" show. Dudley Spence, the Plainsmen's DUDLEY SPENCE, leading passer in the conference, will direct Auburn's offense in Cliff Hare Stadium tomorrow against a tough Mississippi State team. Spence passed for 154 yards against Florida, and represents a potential touchdown everytime he throws. punting chores for the Plainsmen and averaged 37.1 yards on 79 kicks to rank fifth in the conference. Last year he also completed four of eight passes, playing second team quarterback behind Allan Parks. SPENCE STARTED this season behind Vince Dooley, who ran Coach Shug Jordan's favorite formation, the split-T, but when Dooley twisted a knee in the Ole Miss game (second of the year), Spence took over as quarterback for the Plainsmen. This called for Spence to double up and handle more than just the Auburn punting. Handling two important jobs, of course, is unusual in this day of football specialization. Thusly, Spence started his first game for Auburn against Wof-ford in mid-October. He tied an all-time SEC mark of 11 consecutive pass completions to pace the Plainsmen 54-7 over the Terriers for the highest score an Auburn football team has run up in eight years. IN ADDITION to exceptionally affective passing, he has been punting incredibly so that he now ranks in the upper crust of Southern booters. Last week he entered the Flor-ida game with the best pass completion percentage in the SEC arid 13th best punting average in the nation. Completing 11 of 18 passes against the Gators he maintained his 60.9% of passes complete, tossed his seventh earial score of the year to break an all-time Auburn record, and threw Capt. Lee Hay-ley's fourth touchdown pass of the year to help Hayley snap another school mark. SPENCE CAME to Auburn in 1949 after making all-state and All-Southern at McComb High School in Mississippi. Tomorrow the Mississippi State Maroons will se quite a bit of Spence as he attempts to elevate his current 40.3 punting average (50 kicks for 2,015 yards) and his conference-pacing pasing average (53 of 87 complete for 682 yards) to even greater .heights. highly underrated quarterback, broke a six-year o 1 d Auburn passing record set by Travis Tidwell by tossing two touchdown passes to bring his year's total to seven. Spence, who called an excellent offensive game for Auburn, completed 11 of 18 passes for 154 yards bringing his seasonal record to 53 of 87 passes complete for 682 yards and a 60.9" percentage. C H A R L I E HATAWAY, the junior Troy fullback who played his best game since the Vander-bilt- Auburn game of a year ago, initiated the day's scoring by carrying a Spence hand-off across from the three-yard line before six minutes in the contest had elapsed. Joe Davis converted and it was 7-0, Auburn. Sophomore Bill L a r i m o re chilled the Gators' spirits again before the first quarter ended by getting behind Florida defenders to receive a 34-yard Spence aerial for Auburn's second touchdown. Davis added uno point for a 14-0 Plainsman lead. THE SECOND PERIOD was featured by two Florida scores. Spence, who hadn't kicked a bad one in Auburn's first five games, slipped a boot off the side of his foot at the Plainsman 11-yard line. Rick Casares capitalized on the Auburn misfortune for a touchdown, then added the point. BUFORD LONG scored Florida's second touchdown on a 10- yard end run to climax a 67-yard drive which started with the interception of a Spence pass by Larry. Scott. Halftime score, 14-14. Florida jumped ahead for the first time in the game early in the third period when Casares scored again on a burst through the line six yards out. Casares converted for a 21-14 Florida lead. Charlie "Big Boy" Littles and Hataway p a c e d the Auburn ground attack after the ensuing kickoff to place the ball qn the Plainsman 49. Here the stage was set for the most spectacular pass play,of the day. Spence on the next play faked to Hataway through .the middle, retained the ball, then threw 34 yards to Capt. Lee Hayley who was hit by two Gator defenders before he stumbled 15 yards into the end zone for Auburn's final score. Davis tied the game 21-21 with his third extra point. FLORIDA ADDED what proved to be the winning touchdown in the final stanza when Long scored from the two, the play being set up by a 20-yard run by J. Papa Hall. Casares made it 28- 21, Florida. As a safety measure, Casares, who scored 19 points in the contest, kicked a 24-yard field goal from a slight angle with approximately two minutes remaining. The 21 Auburn points reflect that the Plainsman offense is probably at its best thus far this season. The running of Hataway and Littles, in addition to the work of the offensive ends, Hayley, Hall, and Larimore, indicate the great potentialities of Auburn in the future. Fraternity Teams Fight For Trophy By Ronald Owen Fraternity teams continue to battle it out as the race for the touchfootball trophy gets tighter each week. Thursday of last week saw Alpha Gamma Rhq slip by OTS 2-0. winning in a "sudden death" playoff, while Sigma Nil was scoring the same type victory over Thcta Chi. PiKA cased by the Delta Sig's 6-0 as Hartficld tallied the game's only TD for the Pikes. LEDBETTER and Martin each scored a touchdown for the KA's is the old Southerners tripped up the Sigma Chi's 13-0. Alpha Psi racked up another win, this one a 19-0 victory over TKE. Bearden scored two touchdowns for the vet fraternity, Briggs got six points, and Shields accounted for the extra point. In the remaining game SPE romped to a 13-0 victory over Lambda Chi. Brown, Vandiver, and Daniels scored SPE's points. (Continued on page 4-B) Independent Race Tightens In Stretch By Ronald Owen Six games were played on Wednesday of last week by independent and church teams and the race for the touch football trophy moved into the back stretch. In church play, Wesley edged BSU 20-12, and Westminster eased by Canterbury 2-0. The Devils lost a close independent game to Quccs 2-0, while other independent battles saw Delta Tau take Delta Chi 12-0, the T-Kays rolling to a 9-2 victory over the T-Cats, and Navy winning over Theta Xi 22-0. MONDAY, in church play, Wesley won another, this one over Newman 8-7, and Canterbury won by a forfeit over BSU 2-0. In independent play, Navy took the Tigers 6-0, McCormick scoring the game's lone touchdown for the Navy.

Game time will be 2 p.m. This game will be a showdown between two fine undefeated freshman squads. The Tiger Cubs sport the most impressive record with wins over the Alabama frosh 13-7, and over the Georgia Bull-pups 12-7. The Tech freshmen have played only one game, a pre- Tech Homecoming eyent in which they shellacked the freshmen from Vandcrbilt. THE BIG GUNS in the Tigers' ground attack this year has been Fob James, 170 pounds of greased lightning from Lanett, and "Rambling" Ray Mercer, All-America high school player from Moultrie, Ga. The slick ball handling and dead eye passing of quarterback Bill Burbank makes the cubs' offense a very strong one. Bill is a well built boy, standing six feet tall and weighing 185 pounds. McGOWEN'S FRESHMAN line is anchored by M. L. Brackett, 240 pound right tackle from Attala. Erackett has seen some action with the varsity this year and has the markings of a great college tackle. The baby Jackets will bring to Auburn the finest collection of young ball players the Tiger freshmen will have to face this year. They also will field the slickest offensive team of any frosh aggregation in the conference. fcited to the Fogs by the same score. In the other game the Slickers romped to a 27-0 Win over Theta Xi as Dillard, Smith, Lowery, and Lacy scored six-pointers for the winner.

A square dance and sock hop were the first two parties given at the Center this quarter. The bridge tournament, as well as the rest of the social calendar, will be open for all-campus participation with the intent of increasing student interest in activities at the Social Center. AN ADMISSION of 25 cents per person will be charged to finance a trophy for the high scorer of the tournament, and it is hoped that independents as well as sororities and fraternities will enter the competition, Arthur Moore, chairman of the board said. . •.. The first games will be played Monday night and other one-round eliminations will be played on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The final round will be played on Wednesday evening. THE STUDENT CENTER is located in the basement of Lang-don Hall. The snack bar operates during the hours that the Center is open, and cards, and other games are available for students.

SELF SERVICE ON COFFEE AND DONUTS , where? the students meet EY'S Homecoming Up For 39th Renewal; Custom Dates To Thach Administration By Tom Collins When that intangible Auburn spirit plays host to returning alumni and students this weekend, it will be the 39th Homecoming program in the history of the institution. Many of the old grads remember when the first Homecoming Day was held, but to the present student body, this is a mystery. BACK IN JUNE, 1913, Dr. Charles Thach, then president of Auburn, issued a proclamation calling for the observance of a "homecoming for all of those loyal sons who, as former students, have passed through her portals and received her honors." Homecoming festivities were held with commencement exercises in the spring until the memorable year of 1924 when football became synonomous with the celebration. That day on Drake Field the Tigers firmly entrenched themselves in the hearts of visiting alumni as they defeated Clemson, 13-0. UP UNTIL the completion of Cliff Hare Stadium, Homecoming ceremonies were held in Montgomery since there were not adequate facilities to accommodate the crowds which attended the games. Since the beginning of the football tradition back in 1924, each reunion has been held during the grid season with the exception of the years '37, '38, and '43. IN 1939, Cliff Hare Stadium was officially opened to a crowd of 14,000 as the Tigers battled Florida to a 6-6 tie. At that time the Auburn stadium consisted only of the West stands. Directly across the playing field was a drab hillside which envolved into the new East stands in 1949. In the 24 homecoming tilts played, Auburn has emerged victorious in 18, lost 3 and tied 3: The greatest margin of victory was in 1932 when the Tigers defeated Erskine College, 77-0. CLEMSON'S 41-0 victory over the Plainsman two years ago is the worst defeat a Tiger eleven has encountered in a Homecoming tilt. Speculation as to the outcome of tomorrow's game runs high. Both teams are rated fairly even, with a few scribes giving Auburn a slight edge. Results of Homecoming games are below.

Auburn's Lost/Found Department Has Surplus Of Unclaimed Articles J8y Dave Laney Auburn's lost and found department disagrees with the old axiom "Finders keepers, losers weepers." Many objects which have gotten away from their owners are being held in this department awaiting possessors' identification and claim. A special service branch for students' henefits, the lost and found department is located in the rear of the building and grounds building on Drake Drive, one block south of Drake Infirmary. The Guidance Service can prevent much of this academic wandering" with their program of testing and counseling. SEVERAL SCHOOLS and departments of API require their freshmen students to take interest inventories and aptitude tests prepared by this Guidance Service. Each group is given a test in accordance with their occupational choice. Each field of study and each occupation has a specific form by which the interest, ability, and aptitude of each individual is compared with that of successful people in his chosen vocation. The advisors of the respectful schools refer to these comparisons, and also the results of the freshman placement test and personal interviews, to get an idea of each student's interests, aptitudes, and" abilities. ''WE'VE T A K E N CARE of everything from overshoes to lower plates in the six years since the lost and found department was rejuvenated," c o m m e n ts James Allgood, foreman of the lost and found storeroom. "Since the quarter began, such articles as plastic raincoats, jackets, glasses, car keys, and jewelry have been turned in to us," he added. ARTICLES TURNED in to the lost and found office are labeled with the finder's name and address and kept in a special cabi-nejt. If they are not called fpr within three months the department disposes of them as it sees fit, sometimes giving the unclaimed goods to the Red Cross. If the number of unclaimed articles in the cabinet may be regarded as an index, many students are unaware that such a service exists on the Auburn campus. Many lost belongings are there now, waiting for owners to pick them up. 3.B—THE PLAINSMAN Friday. Nov. 7, 1952 f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ » » ^ ^ « Fla.; M i s s Marjorie Higgins, Adamsville; Miss Katherine A.

Bill Turnbeaugh, 6'4", 265 pound tackle for the Plainsmen, will likely shine before homefolks when Auburn and Mississippi State clash tomorrow in Cliff Hare Stadium. BIG BILL known to his teammates as "Tugboat," has made the headlines for Auburn all over the country because of his "radar" system of playing defense. Due to the fact that he can't see over two feet without his glasses, Bill has to rely on pressure from blockers and ground vibrations to determine the path of the ball carrier. The system seems to be a success, for Bill has been a standout lineman in all the Tiger games j last year's track captain this season. TUREBEAUGH transferred to Auburn from Oklahoma Junior College and started school on the Plains as a junior. Last year with the Tigers, Bill turned in one sterling performance after another and was good enough to make honorable mention All-America teams and the third all SEC eleven. This year in pre-season polls he was rated as All-American material and lauded by Collier's Magazine as "the unsung lineman of the year." COACH "SHUG" Jordan has words of praise for Bill too, calling him "—the greatest defensive tackle I've seen a n y w h e r e." "Tugboat" has lived up his publicity, too, playing a spectacular brand of ball from Auburn's opener with Maryland through last week's game with Florida. One of the most popular men on the Auburn campus, Bill is playing his last year for the Tigers. Many southern sports writers predict he will make most All- America teams this year, an honor which no Auburn lineman has achieved' since Tex Warrington was selected on the 1944 team. Auburn fans will see a lot of big Bill's number, 66, tomorrow ^when a fighting Auburn team goes after their first conference win of the season.

Magnolia Captains Hayley, McMurry Lead Football Maneuvers By Larry Conner Two steller ends lead the fighting Auburn Tigers into action each Saturday. Both play left end, one holds the all-time pass receiving record for an Auburn football player, the other is the indispensable sparkplug of the defensive team. They are Lee Hayley, and Bill "Peanut" McMurry, captain and alternate captain of Auburn's 1952 grid corps. LEE HAYLEY is a football rarity in that he is paying his own way to college. Lee gave up his scholarship in order to get married, but wouldn't give up his last year of football. In the midst of another fine season, Hayley seems destined to become one of. Auburn's all-time great ends. Hayley's 6 foot 1, 202 pounds make a dependable target for Tiger passers. Last year Lee snagged 33 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns, to bring his two year total to 53 completions. THIS YEAR Hayley has continued to be a constant threat to all Tiger foes with sensational catches when they were needed most. So far this season he has scored four touchdowns, and is averaging better than 20 yards per catch. ON DEFENSE Bill McMurry takes over as the team leader as well as the'left end. "Peanut," as he is called, is a natural leader. His presence seems to give the defensive forewall that indefinable extra something that turns seven individuals into a single wall, which has proved itself mighty rugged against several of the top teams in the country. Inspiration is not all that McMurry gives to the Auburn cause. Bill is regarded as one of the Plainsman Olympic Ace Developing Into Versatile Gridiron Performer By John Raines One of the most versatile men on Coach .Jordan's football squad this fall is also one of his brightest prospects. He's Jim Dillion, who captured the hearts of SEC track coaches, proceeded to amaze track fans all over the nation and capped it all off by placing in the Olympic games. Now Jim has left the cinders Big Jim Dillion. . . . . . Tiger Linebacker finest defensive ends in the SEC. He intercepted five passes in 1951 despite missing the last four games because of leg injury. FULLY RECOVERED now, he has been as effective as ever this year, especially on kickoffs where he excels. temporarily to'add power to the Tigers' defense, and he has done just that in the games he has played in. Dillion is a sophomore from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, who came to the Plains in 1950 to star as a freshman end and a discus thrower on the track team. He tips the scales at 220 pounds, but oddly enough, he is only a step or soj behind diminutive Jackie Creel in the 50-yard dash. Jim, however, stuck to the discus in track competition. He has gained every distinction obtainable in the SEC as far as slinging the plate goes and he also competes in the shot put. ALTHOUGH HIS fame is due to track, it was actually football that brought Jim to the Plains. While he was serving at Fort Sill, Okla., he came in contact with an Auburn alumnus, Ernie Mills, who was coaching the Fort Sill team. Mills was once a standout in the Auburn line, and when Jim left the service to attend college his choice was Auburn. When Dillion player end on the frosh squad, he and Vince Dooley teamed up to give Auburn an effective pasing combo. Many people thought the two might fraternize again, but Vince has been out because of an injury and Jim has played mostly defensive ball. He was one of the standouts in the Tulane game, and was no less spectacular in the Florida game. Florida's backs, Rick Casares and J. Poppa Hall might verify that statement. WHEN JORDAN was asked before the season started what he thought of Dillion, he said: "Of course, Jim's biggest handicap will be lack of experience, but he has the speed and natural ability, and we see no reason why, in proper time, he should not be a fine football player." "In proper time," Jordan hastened to point out, may be half a season or it may be a year, depending on the progress Dillion makes. But two years of grid eligibility remain and the raw material is there. The finished product should be something to behold.

R. "Beedie" Bidez, class of '15, who was director of the Auburn band for 30 years. "Beedie" was a star football player at Auburn during the days of Mike Donahue. He played all of his four years in school and was captain of the team his senior year. Unusual as it may seem, he played in the Auburn Band and at the same time was a member of the football team. AFTER SERVING in the army, he joined the music staff in 1919'. He became director of the band in 1921. The band was then a poorly financed group of 30. From 1919 until 1928, he also directed the Glee Club. When Beedie Bidez resigned in 1951, the Auburn Band was properly financed and equipped. The 100 strong band was established throughout the Southland as one of the finest. HE RETIRED last year after 30 years as a pioneer in the field of music at Auburn. His retirement brought to an end the colorful career of the man who had led the South's oldest college band since 1921. Chief "Beedie" Bidez . . . . . .
