Union Building Holds
Many Potentialities
For Student Life
By War Eagle
Every work day which pass-ss
brings Auburn students a
l i t t l e closer to the time when
m active Student Union pro­gram
will be an actuality in­stead
of merely a dream.
V.s the new Union Building,
presenting an investment of al-
|(t '$1 million, rounds into shape,
size and its proposed facilities
bhasize the fact there is still a
|>f paper work to be done be-
; the program can be put into
fessful operation.
The Union Building is potent­ially
the biggest social force
which has come into student life
on the Plains since the establish­ment
of fraternities and sororities
here. These potentialities must not
be minimized if Auburn is to
reap the full benefits of its in­vestment.
That the Union Building has
reached its present stage is a
monument to the w o r k and
thought of many people. One pri­mary
obstacle, that of financing
the construction, has been re­moved.
Others remain as real and
pressing problems for student and
administration leaders.
The spadework on the union
program has been going forward
with some dispatch. A building
manager has been-^elected, and
I understand that other details,
such as interior designs and space
allocations are well on the way
to successful solutions.
The problems of administration
of the physical plant, however,
are not the only points which
must be considered. The question
of just what benefits the program
will offer to API students, facul­ty,
and alumni must be answered.
And the answer must be con­crete
and clearly defined. Unless
this is true, the Union Building
will deteriorate into a "white
elephant," or it will find itself
embroiled in a number of activi­ties
in which it has no business.
In order that the solution may
be satisfactory to all, these prob­lems
must be attacked with an
attitude of close cooperation be­tween
student, faculty, and alum­ni
groups.
In the past the cooperative
spirit of Auburnites h a s been
sufficient for a satisfactory solu­tion
of every problem which has
come up, so I'm not particularly
worried about the union program.
The above admonition for care­ful
planning of the union pro­gram
is offered just as a reminder
of the tremendous effect which
the program, once in operation,
will have on the lives of every
student here.

Five Students Injured During Week
As Accidents Continue To Take Toll
Accidents continued to t a k e their toll among A u b u r n stu­dents
last weekend when two coeds were injured in an auto­mobile
collision Friday afternoon and three other students
received burns when an outboard motor exploded Sunday.
Barbara Jones, 18, Birmingham, sophomore in secretarial
training and Mary Naughton, 18,
Birmingham, freshman in, science
and literature, were injured when
the car in which they were riding
collided with another containing
seven Sylacauga residents on
Highway 241 between Sylacauga
and Goodwater.
MISS JONES was admitted to
the Sylacauga Hospital .and-treat-eti
for lacerations on the face and
arms and released Sunday. Miss
Naughton received lacerations on
the face and arms and one leg was
broken above the.knee. She is still
being treated at the Sylacauga
hospital and her condition was de­scribed
as "satisfactory" by of­ficials
there.
June Bottcher, Hanceville junior
in education; Doug Gordon, pre-med
junior from Athens, and
George --day, -civil engineering
junior from Macon, Ga., were
burned when the gasoline out­board
motor on a boat they were
attempting to start exploded. The
accident occurred on Lake Ray-burn
near Clayton, Ga.
MISS BOTTCHER received first
degree burns on her legs, and her
hair and eyebrows were slightly
singed. Clay received only minor
burns on his arms, while Gordon
suffered second degree burns on
his upper body, arms and legs.
The three were taken immedi­ately
to the county hospital in
Clayton where they remained un­til
the following day, when they
were removed to the hospital at
Macon, Ga., and dismissed. Clay
returned to the campus Monday,
while the other two remained at
their homes to convalesce.
mother with a perverted attitude
toward the love lives of her two
sons. Cast as her elder son, David,
is Bob Nixon, Auburn. David re­turns
from studying in Europe,
and with him comes his wife,
Christina, played by Nancy Entre-kin,
Columbus, Ga. Mrs. Phelps'
resentment of her son's mate is
matched by Christina's unwilling­ness
to tolerate that jealousy, and
an intriguing conflict thus arises.
THE MOTHER'S envious out­look
extends also into the life of
Robert, her youngest son, por­trayed
by Ronnie Webster, Mo­bile.
She succeeds in alienating
him and his fiancee, Hester, play­ed
by Betty Ford, Auburn.
The action of the play clearly
illustrates the theme, which is
that no young man should ever
be faced with the problem of de­ciding
whether to give his love to
his mother or to his wife, because
neither the wife nor the mother
claim all of it.
THE PART OF the Phelps' maid
is played by Sally Sue Jacobs,
Atlanta, Ga., who acts as prompt­er
when off-stage. Buford Harris,
Fort Payne, handles' the duties of
stage manager; Becky Short,
Birmingham, is in charge of the
props, and Margaret Grayson,
Birmingham, and Main Honour,
Auburn, control the lighting.
Students will be admitted free
upon presentation of their stu­dent
activities card. All others
will be charged an admission fee
of 50 cents. Those attending are
urged to come during the week if
possible in order to avoid the us­ual
weekend congestion caused by
the limited space in the Y-Hut.
ODK, Blue Key

Commentator Cites Stalin's Death
As Free World's Danger, Opportunity
By Bob Allen
"Our greatest danger, and our greatest opportunity, lies in
t h e death of Stalin and the subsequent inception of* t h e new
regime in Russia," was the central theme of commentator
Leon Pearson's lecture, "W^here A r e We Headed?" which was
sponsored by the Concert and Lecture Series.
Pearson based his lecture on the separation of Germany, the for-changes
and subsequent develop­ments
which have occurred since
Stalin's death, and how they have
affected our foreign policy. He
stated that Stalin, while alive,
was actually of great help to our
country, and that Malenkov is
more of a trouble-maker than
most considered Stalin to be. Pear­son
predicted that the "road ahead
will be peaceful."
IN AMPLIFICATION of these
statements, Pearson explained
that Stalin has made us strong,
mation of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, and the
United Nations' defense of Korea
. . . The demonstration of the
strength of reaction to these ac­tions
shall cause Stalin to be
written down as less than the
great le'ader, seer and statesman
than he was once held to be."
Mr. Pearson held that the acts
by Malenkov following the death
of Stalin have been a gradual re­treat
of the Russian leaders from
a policy which proved a failure,
without intending to do so, by his and that the real trouble for the
actions following . t h e second
World War, which included the
Balkans betrayal, the stalmate in
negotiations on the Italian' and
German peace treaties, the block­ade
of Berlin, and finally, the in­vasion
of Korea. These tactics
". . . were so shocking, and so be­trayed
the trust of the Western
World in Russia, that America,
for the first time, instituted an
organized bi-partisian policy."
Thus, Stalin inadvertently helped
to tear down the very thing which
he was attempting to build.
"THIS POLICY, begun under
the Democrats, was bi-partisian
enough . . . that the change in
administration did not affect it,"
stated Pearson, "and some of the
western nations is only begihning.
As example of this, he cited the
pending European Defense Com­mand
agreement, which is likely
to fail because of the apparent
removal of the threat to the coun­tries
involved, and the fact that
Germany does not wish to be­come
the "battleground of the
East and West, but the great, new
Switzerland of Europe."
IN REGARD to opportunities
which may be gained from the
change in the Kremlin's policy,
Pearson stated, "I see in "the at­titude
at Panmunjom . . . the ef­fect
of someone higher up saying
'don't be unjust, make a small
concession here and there.' I think
that a resolution has probably
results of Stalin's actions were the been drawn to end conflict."

To Give Concert
Here Tomorrow
The Chicago Symphony Wood­wind

for its variety of color, tonal bal­ance,
dynamics effects and superb
musicianship.
Each member of the group is a
key player in the Chicago Sym­phony
Orchestra and an out­standing
musician in his particu­lar
field. Of the original 1937
group, only one change has taken
place, that of bassoon player Wil­bur
Simpson.
OTHER MEMBERS of t he
quintet are Jerome Stowell, clar­inet
player, whose reputation
stems from teaching affiliations
with D e P a u w University, the
Metropolitan School of Music and
the Rizzo School of Music. Philip
Farkas, french horn, is formerly of
Roosevelt College, the Metropo­litan
School of Music and the
Chicago Civic Orchestra.
Ralph Jordan, who is consider­ed
one of the better flutists in the
country, and Robert Mayer, an
alumnus of the Sousa* Band and
a member of the faculty at
Northwestern University, con­clude
the five man aggregation.
THE QUINTET was organized
to provide a greater understand­ing
and enjoyment to the art of
woodwind charhber music by
drawing attention to its rarely
heard repertoire.

Continued Meetings Of Joint Group
President John M. Gallalee, University of Alabama, and

the Joint Auburn-University Committee on Graduate Pro­grams
to continue meetings for consideration of ways by
which each institution may con­tribute

they might get you to Kankakee faster.

API Booklet Reveals
Textile Graduate Need
"Opportunities in Textiles," a
booklet' recently published by
API, reveals that requests "for
textile school graduates during
the past year amounted to ten
times the number of such gradu­ates
available.
The • booklet points out that
textiles comprise the largest in­dustry
in Alabama, with about 75
mills in 55 communities, nearly
55,000 employees and an annual
payroll of about 160 million dol­lars;
also, the mills offer a wide
selection pf jobs, with one of the
larger mills listing 675 different
jobs held by its employees.
The booklet adds, "For the col­lege
graduate, the greatest numb­er
of these jobs were supervisory
jobs, production superintendent,
plant manager, maintenance and
service department heads, methods
engineering, research and develop­ment,
technical staff jobs, sales

Nacefflenf Office Offers Graduates
Contacts With Variety Of Businesses
The number of job offers from some of the nation's lead­ing
industries is reaching an all time high for Alabama Poly­technic
Institute graduates.
Through the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations
Graduate Placement Office at API, over 250 companies repre­senting
all phases of industry,
business, and commerce are con
tacting students throughout the
year.
"And the demand for graduates
in the technical fields," states
Scott Farley, manager of the of­fice,
"still exceeds the supply by
about five to one at the present
time." He points out that some
seniors have received as many as
10 job offers, and many companies
are interviewing students three
and four quarters before gradu­ation.
"THE BIG problem for many of
the students," said Farley, "is not
in receiving a job offer but in de­termining
which offer to accept.
All aspects of employment-salary,
living conditions, and location-of­fered
by a particular company
must be considered."
But procedures followed by the
Placement Office help many of
the students make their decisions.
Companies contact his office,
Farley states, and notify him as
to when their interviewers will
visit the campus. They also let the
3—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 6, 1953
office know the types of graduates
they are interested* in and the
number they wish to employ. The
Placement Office notifies the stu­dents
by classroom announce­ments,
bulletin board notices and
by phone. Students can then
schedule appointments with as
many interviewers as they like.
Auburn's Graduate Placement
Office, operated as a part of the
State Employment Service, was
established in May of 1947 by the
Ala. Department of Industrial Re­lations.
Farley has been manager
since October 1947.
Dear Editor:
Last week's letter from a Unit­ed
States' orphan—as near as I
could gather from his letter he
seems to have been adopted by
the Republic State of Texas—left
me a little puzzled on a few
points which, I presume, he was
trying to make.
In terminology he very care­fully
documented his authority
for the definition of the word
Socialism (Funk and Wagnall's |
Dictionary, page 1,108.) In his
next paragraph he has defined
the word Communist (" . . . a
Socialist who has renounced
God.") However I fail to find this
definition in Funk and Wagnall's
on page 246. I assume, then, that
he has used some other diction­ary.
Yet his definition in itself sug­gests
that pure Socialists do be­lieve
in God. If this be so, then
we are in danger of being sub­verted
by a political party of
Christians—if the danger of Soc­ialism
is as imminent as Mr. Siler,
our domestic DP who was adopt­ed
by Texas, seems to imply that
it is.
Having no valid reason for
doubting the good faith of the
State and/or Republic of Texas,
I assume that her boundaries ex­tending
10.5 miles out to sea are
established inflexibly within the
law. And if oil were discovered
10.6 miles out, I am sure that
neighboring states and nations
would be welcomed to drill and
exploit as they would. Texas, in
its magnanimity, would voice no
complaint at this free, private
enterprise.
I see that, like Mr. Siler, I di­gress;
my quarrel is not with our
ally, Texas but with the looseness
with which Mr. Siler interchanges
the terms Socialism and Com­munism.
A good many people to­day—
outside of Texas, too, by the
way—seem to see some close liai­son
between the Socialist Party
of America and the Communist
Party of Russia. They realize the
dangers of having Communists in
government, e d u c a t i o n , and
church; yet they decry the spread
and rise of Socialism. There
seems to be some nefarious link
between the two: the Commun­ists
are seeking to promote Soc­ialism.
I cannot see how such a
situation can arise other than
through emotional acceptance of
half-truths, falsehoods and ig­norance.
The Socialist Party of America
is in no way connected with the
Communist Party. Its headquart­ers
is well known and its list of
membership is available to Con­gress.
This party is certainly not
looked upon with favor by the
Kremlin. Its work in promoting
anti-Communism in Asia is a real
threat to Communist imperialism
in that section of political unrest.
Mr. Norman Thomas, a former
Presbyterian minister who re­tained
God and accepted Social­ism,
has been constantly harried
and denounced by the Commun­ists.
The Socialist Party does not
advocate revolution or violent
1 overthrow of government. Sever­al
Socialists are holding public
'office today only after having
been elected by running against
Republicans and Democrats in
open elections.
I shall not further digress into
the relative merits of the Univer­sity
of Alabama and Auburn nor
dwell at length on the Auburn
Spirit. In fact I shall try and
maintain some unity and coher­ence
by bringing this letter to a
close.
Yours sincerely,
M. R. Sharpe

The annual Student Government In­auguration
Banquet Monday night marked
the official change of student administra­tive
officials, and gives some reason for a
year's-end evaluation of the past adminis­tration,
and a summary of prospects for
the new one.
Retiring student body president Jimmy
Baird can look back at his year of leader­ship
with justifiable pride. During his
term Auburn made some great strides in
student life.
Among the most notable projects in the
Baird administration have been bigger and
more successful renewals of the Open
House and Greek Week programs, the most
successful blood drive in history of the
institution, an accelerated recreational
program in Student Center, and the laying
of primary plans for a complete and useful
Student Union program.
During the past year, API has been host
to the conference of the Alabama Associa­tion
of Student Governments and a better
relations delegation from Georgia Tech.
In addition, the institution has been repre­sented
at several off-campus conferences
of a similar nature.
At each one of these gatherings, Au­burn
has held its own, as far as quality of
representation is concerned, with the other
top colleges and universities in the South. •
The good showing which Auburn has made
at these meetings is almost entirely due to
able and efficient advance planning by
Baird and his student government cohorts.
We suspect that a large measure of
Baird's success as Student Body President
has been due to his talent for surrounding
himself with able associates.
Certainly, his assistants in the Execu­tive
Cabinet and the Student Senate have
rendered top-notch aid in every project
which has been attempted. To name these
students individually and cite their separ­ate
efforts would require several columns
of type, so we hope it will suffice to say
that the retiring president has had the
benefit of a large and extremely able crew
of assistants.
Since our political beliefs (on a campus
plane, at least) run somewhat counter to
his, we have sometimes differed with
Baird's stand on certain points of fact. 'On
matters of principal, however, we can find
no quarrel with the retiring administra­tion.
It was devoted tirelessly to the pri­mary
goal sought by every Auburnite
worthy of the name—a greater institution
for increased service to the people of Ala­bama
and the South.
So, despite our unflinching allegiance
to the "other party" (if such a group still
exists on the campus) we are willing to
concede without an argument that Baird
and his associates can retire from the field
of student government with honor. They
have rendered considerable service to the
student body and have reflected tremend­ous
credit upon the institution as a whole.

Alabama's Industrious Days
By Herb White
...And Ring In The New
Student body presidential duties for the
coming year have been awarded to Arthur
Moore, industrial management junior from
Pell City. Since he officially took office
only Monday night, Moore is as yet un­proved
as top executive in the API Stu­dent
Government set-up.
lip is not, however, a complete stranger
to activities of the local student govern­ment.
As Superintendent of Social Af-fairs,'
Sie was one of the most active mem­bers
of this year's executive cabinet, and it
was principally through his work that
Student Center was revamped into an ac­tive
and useful location for student recrea­tion.
In setting up his administrative mach­inery,
Moore faces a considerable rebuild­ing
job. A goodly number of last year's
cabinet members, who form the bulk of the
president's working force, have been re­moved
from their positions, either by im­pending
graduation or by increased interest
and responsibility in other areas of extra­curricular
activity. The senate also boasts
several new faces, who must be briefed on
student government procedure before that
group can reach maximum effectiveness.
Like his predecessors, Moore will head
a student government system which can
render tremendous service to those enroll­ed
at API. The student body Constitution
is a thorough and adequate document, and
• the new president, working under its con­ditions,
should be able to accomplish much.
Opportunities certainly will not be
lacking. Auburn's constantly increasing
enrollment makes student government a
greener field for service each year, and the
added problems of a larger student popu­lation
should form an interesting and ade­quate
test of the new chief executive's
ability.
Another big test will come with the
completion of the Union Building and the
necessity for forming a concrete program,
along with workable plans for the opera­tion
of the building. The Union Building
will probably bring about some of the most
extensive changes in student life seen on
the Plains in a long time, and it is the duty
of the student government to see" that all
potentialities are fully realized.
In the coming year Moore will be faced
with a number of problems and respon­sibilities.
The manner in which he reacts
to them may have a far-reaching influence
upon the future of API, so he certainly has
this newspaper's wish for good luck and
Godspeed during his term of office.
On April 27 through May 2,
Alabamians in every phase of life
paused to pay tribute to industry
This period was proclaimed "Ala­bama
Industrial Days."
In keeping with the trend of
industry moving South, this state
has grown greatly during the past
year.
In a recent Birmingham News
editorial some very interesting
t h i n g s w e rf
pointed out. It
seems that cap­ital
development
i n manufactur­ing
in Alabama
in 1952 amount­ed
to $186,753,-
638. This is the
actual f i g u re
spent in estab­lishing
new in­dustries
or in expanding existing
industries, according to a Ala­bama
State Chamber of Commer­ce
spokesman. In number, 1953
saw the establishment or expan­sion
of 53 industries in the state.
The 53 new industries are lo­cated
in 33 towns and cities in 25
counties and will add some 3,354
industrial jobs to Alabama's total.
Sewing plants lead the list, with
eight factories offering employ­ment
to approximately 700 per­sons.
Next in number of plants of
industrial type are the metal fab­ricators,
with seven new plants
offering employment to 480 per­sons
and representing an invest­ment
of $3,085,000.
White
The lumber and wood industry
and insecticide industry ranked
first in capital investment—
$3,320,000.
According to the report, "Ala­bama's
new industries will manu­facture
a host of items from
welding rods to printing supplies.
A wide variety of food products
and food processing plants will
manufacture "a finished consumer
product.?'
The report goes on to say that
the new industries involve an ex­penditure
of $20,888,000, while
expansion of existing industries
cost $165,865,639. The investment
represents an expenditure of $6,-
288 for every new job and this
money is supplied by private in­vestors.
As companies decide that the
South is now the greenest pas­ture
for industrial plants, Ala­bama
should be ready to cite the
advantages of this state.
Neighboring states, such as
Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi
have even passed legislation so
that concerns which locate withih
their borders would have special
privileges. It is time for our state
to do as these sister states have'
done. As the legislature meets
this month let us hope that they
will do something about this.
If these various concerns that
are now looking toward the
South for future locations find
that this state welcomes them
with open arms, it is a sure bet
that during the current year an
even greater industrial increase
will be attained.

Above the pitch, out of tune,
and off the hinges. —Rabeliis
Considering the recent death
toll which accidents on the high­ways
have been taking among stu­dents,
the fight which has been
waged between W. B. Timmons,
Alabama Motorists Association
d i r e c t o r , and
i Governor Gord-
\ >n Persons, seems
I o strike a sour
I iote among in-i
labitants of the
f, Loveliest Village.
The 50 to 60-
f: • n o l l e speed law
^vvas put into ef-
I feet under the
11949 act which
permits the gov­ernor,
with the
concurrence of the public safety
and highway directors, to establish
speed limits. By degrees during
the past year, the governor ex­tended
his speed regulations to
cover just about every mile of
federal and state highways. The
limit is 60 miles.per hour by day
and 50 at night.
"I don't know whether the law
is legal or not," Persons has stated.
"Some courts have held it illegal
and at least one—in Birmingham
—has held it legal." The governor
Ford
has contended that he did not de­cree
or proclaim the law, but acted
under the 1949 zoning act.
Recently, Timmons questioned
the advisability of establishing a
50-60-mile speed limit and sent
out letters disagreeing with the
idea that speed reduction is an
answer to our traffic accident
problem. Also included in his
argument was the fact that a
number of complaints had been
submitted concerning the highway
patrol's many arrests.
"One insurance company con­tends
that 49 per cent of traffic
accidents result from excessive
speed," Persons responded. "When
I get that letter (Timmons') I said
'this is plain stupidity—there is no
use arguing with Mr. Timmons
any longer.'"
He added his belief that the
criticism of the patrol's arrest ac­tivities
had been stirred up by
one "agitator." That agitator, he
made clear, was Mr. Timmons.
To this, the AMA official re­taliated
that the governor had
evaded these four facts about the
speed problem:
1. States which use a zoning
method.instead of a fixed speed
limit to regulate driving "have an
accident record as good as the
states which are using the fixed
speed limit and a big arrest pro­gram."
2. There are "certain disad­vantages"
in a fixed regulation as
compared with a flexible require­ment.
3. Alabama for the past six
years had a better than average
accident rate.
4. Persons is wrong in denying
that the money collected through
fines and fees is a factor in the
accident picture.
These "facts" don't seem to
hold up however, since a zoning
method depends on local enforce­ment
and is therefore often not
enforced at all. The flexible re­quirements
were what we had be­fore
the speed law was put into
effect and evidently had many
more "disadvantages" than the
fixed regulations.
Fact No. 3 seems to be in error,
since the number of vehicle
deaths, per 100,000 in Alabama
last year and as far back as 1948,
has been consistently higher than
the same number for the United
States.
From here on the Plains, it does
seem a bit stupid for Mr. Tim­mons
to argue that speed laws
should be relaxed with the fact
that six students have been killed
during this academic year, with
all of the accidents ocurring either
directly or indirectly from exces­sive
speed.

Quarterly Square Table Confab
Now For The Race
Next weekend will bring a host of
young athletes to Auburn for the annual
running of the Alabama State High School
Track Meet. Their presence here will key­note
a question which has bothered us for
some time. What's wrong with track in
Alabama secondary schools?
A look at previous high school track and
field results will show that this state has
some top talent available. The quality of
high school track is as good in Alabama as
it is anywhere. Why then the sad defic­iency
in quantity?
That's hard to understand, since track
is better suited for small-school competi­tion
than almost any other sport. The for­mation
of a track team requires a very
small expenditure for equipment, espec­ially
when compared to the amount neces­sary
for a football or basketball team.
In spite of this fact, track competition
is limited almost exclusively to the larger
high schools in the state. Smaller schools,
even though they go in for more expen­sive
and more complicated interscholastic
sports events, ignore the possibilities of
track and field competition.
We would like to see Alabama high
school officials "get hot" on track, and ele­vate
it to an honorable position among prep

Our "sister institution," the
University of Alabama, has cho­sen
a new president' to take the
place of retiring Dr. John M. Gal-lalee.
Climaxing m u c h speculation
throughout the state, the Univer.
sity board' of trustees recently
announced the selection of Dr. O.
C. Carmichael, former head of
Alabama College for Women at
Montevallo, to fill the position.
The U n i v e r s i t y newspaper,
Crimson-White,
supported Mor­timer
J o r d a n
from start to
finish, a n d it
will be inter­esting
to s ee
how the head- '
strong student
paper reacts to
t h e overlook­ing
of its can­didate.
t Lucci Besides beat­ing
out Jordan in the race, Doctor
Carmichael also won over a field
of 60 men, including Dr. R. C.
Harris, of Tulane University, and
Dr. J. A. McCain, Kansas State
University president.
Doctor Carmichael's record, as
well as his selection over other
well-qualified men, leads us to
believe that he was a wise choice.
Now in New York as .president
of the - Carnegie Foundation for
Advancement of Teaching and
advisors to the Carnegie Coapor-ation,
the outstanding 61-year-old
educator will take over his new
duties next fall.
Doctor Carmichael is a native
Alabamian^ his home being in
Goodwater, and a University
graduate from the class of 1911.
He is a Rhodes Scholar, holder of
a Ph.D. degree, and also of many
other degrees and educational
honors.
We think he'll do a good job at
the state's next - to - the - best
school, and we wish him a horse­shoe
of Tiger Lilies for luck in
his new undertaking.

We understand the API Glee

for the first time an album of
API songs. Its members are hard
workers and good singers, and we
hope that many students will take
advantage of the next opportun­ity
to hear them.

Our sponsor, Moby Dick,
produces the only whale-blubber
mattress with built in water
spouts. For the first time in sack-in
history, you can drink, shower,
and swim in your own bed. Don't
be three-fourths safe, invest your
fins in a genuine whale-blubber
mattress with the built in water
spout that will eventually replace
inner springs."
"Cedric, our first question is:
do you think that Chewacla will
ever replace the library for re­search
purposes?"
"Well Sully, it really depends
By Fred Nichols and Charles Sullivan
upon whether you're human or a
silverfish. And now I have a
question from the floor—is this
termite really necessary?"
"Cedric, your question reminds
me of a fashionable hotel I once
stopped in. It was really fashion­able,
my room had three water
pipes, one cold, one hot, and one
to pound on when the other two
didn't work. This hotel didn't
have termites, they were all stand­ing
outside betting which way the
building would fall. What a^glaqe
—the only junk pile in the world
with a bell hop."
"Ahhh, here is a letter from our
listener. She writes to us from

"My husband won't work, he
won't shave, won't wear a tie or

the house all day. In fact, he's so
lazy that he spends most of his
time holding a well-filled cock­tail
shaker, waiting for an earth­quake.
What should I do?
"Madame, my answer is simple
—let me know when there's an
earthquake."
"Now it's memory time around
the Square Table. Sully, you
know I remember when I was
fighting the battle of Dreel Field.
I can see myself nervously await­ing
for the battle to begin, stand­ing
at attention while my uniform
was at ease. But that didn't bother
me, I rushed to my lieutenant and
told him that the enemy captured
all the company's supply of cos-moline.
He had his troubles too,
someone had stolen the bars off
Salt From Walt
his pajamas. Wah is havoc."
"Cedric, I can remember when
everyone lived by a trade. I was
a baker. At first I sold my cakes
for 66 cents. When the demand in­creased,
I started selling upside-down
cakes for 99 cents. Those
were the days when the only
thing a senator investigated was
the frost on his mint julep."
"Since Dr. Kaff Eeen has been
monopolizing the conversing, let's
turn to the question box."
Dear Twentieth Centry Platoos,
I love a homely girl with a sour
disposition, but another girl who
is beautiful and has a barrel of
dough is nuts over me. Which one
should I marry?
Dear Sir:
By all means marry the one you
love—and send us the other one's
name and address.
Affectionately,
Cedric and Sully
"Gadzook, look at the time!
We had better sign off before Dr. .

word from our sponsor?"
"Yes I have. Our sponsor makes

A recent item of news concern­ing
the prisoner of war exchange
in Korea, has brought to light the
term known as "brain washing."
Top security has been placed
around American servicemen who
have returned home via the
Freedom Village route, because
they have been suspected of be­coming
victims of Communist
propaganda.
Psychiatrists at Valley Forge
Hospital in Pheonixville, Pa., de­clare
that these men aren't suf­fering
necessarily from mental ill­ness.
They say that they will be
ment, which in essence is removal
to a normal, healthy American
atmosphere.
As I see it, "brain washing isn't
exactly new to us. It is likenedjfo
a high velocity "bull session"
wherein you listen so long to (lie
same old thing that after awhile
you begin to believe it. You have
to in order to escape mentally the
ordeal. However, after listening to
someone who possesses a little
common sense you're back on the
base path again.
If you don't believe that, take
a look at the tidelands oil situa­tion.
A certain few have tried to
"brain wash" members of the
senate through filibusters on the
subject but the members at large
have walked away unscathed.

Tiger Athletes Fare Well Against Tide;
Hutsell Has Another Winning Season
If spring quarter results are any indication, it looks as
though 1953 might be the year for Auburn as far as our ath­letic
relations with the men "200 miles from Auburn's ditches"
i.e., Alabama are concerned.
Coach Joel Eaves' Tiger quintet started the year off right
when they outclassed the Tide in a re­turn
hardwood match on the Plains to
close out a successful basketball season
for Auburn. A much anticipated scoring
duel between Bama's highly touted cen­ter
Jerry Harper and Auburn's lanky
Bob Miller fritted to materialize as Miller
ran circles around the Tide pivot man
all night.
Baseball relations between the an­cient
rivals tended to cast a gloomy pall
on the picture from the Plainsmen point
of view as the Tigers failed to scratch in
two encounters with the Tide. But, in
true tradition, Auburn rebounded when
the Bama-Tiger track meet came up. The harriers of Coach
Wilbur Hutsell proceeded to set the Tide down in dual meet
competition for the first time in four years; for the first time
since Auburn beat them way back in 1949. Which offset the
baseball loss somewhat, and gave, rise to a few War Eagles.
By this time the fad had caught on, and $he netmen of
Coach Luther Young decided to follow in the same path.
They journeyed to Tuscaloosa two weeks ago and for the
first time in the history of tennis competition with the Tide,
took the Crimson's to the cleaners in a tennis match in grand
style. To add insult to injury, the Tiger racketeers made it
a clean sweep this season by winning the return match last
Wednesday. '• .
If the Tigers can take Alabama in baseball this weekend,
we can consider spring athletics a success • . . and hope for
the same this fall.
Plainsmen Harriers Take Tech
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, Dean of Southern Track Coaches,
preserved his long standing record of never having a losing
track season Saturday when his thinclads easily bested the
Georgia Tech Tracksters in Auburn's third and last dual
meet of the season.
With a win over Alabama and a loss to Florida to his
credit, Hutsell's chances of going through his 32nd year with­out
going under the .500 mark depended entirely on the out­come
of the Tech match. Led by Jackie Creel, Don Johnson,
Bill Fickling, Allison Christopher and, Duke Brown, the Tiger
harriers soon put Hutsell's mind af^as§ and when the smoke
(or steam) cleared off the muddy field Auburn stood out in
front by a 90-36 score.
The Plainsmen took 11 out' of 12 first places in the meet
and introduced many new names in some events to rack up a
goodly number of seconds and thirds to run the margin of
victory as high as it was. Basketballer Jim Martin got into
the scoring column with a javelin throw of 164 feet and 3
inches, which won first place. Bill Fickling tried his hand
in a different department, the discus. His heave wasn't prod­igious
but good enough to win third place. Billy Whitten and
Ed Newby gained second places in the dashes behind speed­sters
Creel and Johnson. Whitten dogged Creel in both the
100-yard and 200-yard dashes and Newby finished second be­hind
Johnson in the 440-yard race.
There were many outstanding performances turned in by
the Tiger tracksters in the one-sided bouts but Don Johnson
won the acclaim of the spectators and participants when he
ran the 440 in 48.6 seconds to crack a 25-year-old Auburn re­cord
set by Snitz Snider. The "Bessemer Flash" (who learn­ed
his high school track from Snider) ran against time on the
wet track and finished far ahead of Newby and Tom Merritt
to pass the old mark of 48.8.
Auburn's victory pushed the win column of Hutsell-coach-ed
teams up to 78 in a 32-year period against 19 defeats. Along
with this outstanding record is 42 SEC champions, plus five
others who have tied for first places in the 20 runnings of
conference finals.

Alabama High Schools Convene Here
Friday For Two-Day State Track Meet
By Bill Beckwith
More than 350 high school cindermen from over the state
are expected to compete in the sixth annual state track meet
held in Auburn's Cliff Hare Stadium Friday and Saturday,
On hand to defend their 1952 crowns will be Ramsay High
of Birmingham, Class AA champs, and Andalusia, Class A
champs. Of the 40 probable en
tries, Andalusia is an early pick
to successfully defend their title
but Ramsey will find the going a
lot tougher with strong Sidney La­nier
of Montgomery challenging
them.
THE MONTGOMERY Invita­tional,
held several weeks back,
could be used as an example of
what to expect when the track­sters
journey to Auburn this week.
Andalusia rolled up 34 points to
nose out contender Fairfield who
scored 29. Lanier sgored an amaz­ing
50V2 points for the AA crown,
far above Ramsey's second place
29.
Jim Costner of Shades Valley,
Curtis Ware . of Bessemer, and
Royce Murry of Phillips are the
only returning champions in Class
AA competition. The raw-boned
Costner tossed the discus 132.2
feet to win the state championship
in 1952. In the Montgomery meet
this year he won with a throw of
147-5/ If he adds eight more ,feet
then he can erase, Buddy Fowler's
1940 record. Ware and Murry won
the broad jump and mile, respec­tively.
THE CLASS A division has four
event champions in two men.
Jackie Reeves of Andalusia, 1952
"Outstanding Performer," cap­tured
three crowns—440, 880, and
broad jump, while teammate Mav-ern
Parker returns for the mile
of the Class A finals, all records
set stand as all-time marks, so
many may fall.
One of the best bets to crack
secords in AA is Dewell Crumpton
of Ramsey. He won the Southern
Relays high jump with a leap of
6-1 15/16 (state record Is 6-0 Yt
by Dick Hansen of Phillips in
1944) and the high hurdles in 15.3
seconds (state record is;'4.5.2- by
Corky Tharp of Ramsey in 1950.)
ROY FOR BUS, Alex City, won
the Invitational high jump event
with a leap of 6-1, so Bill Hanni-gan's
5-8 for John 'Carroll will
probably fall in the A division.
Entries as of late Monday after­noon
are: Class AA—Vigor High,

Johnson, Creel Star
In Win Over Tech
With Jackie Creel and Don
Johnson again in the driver's
seat, the Auburn thinclads coasted
to a one-sided victory over the
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Sat­urday
in a dual meet, 96-30. The
victory gives Auburn a record of
two wins and one loss in dual
meets for the 1953 season, having
earlier defeated Alabama and
bowing to Florida.
AS USUAL, Creel won the 100
yard and the 220 yard events.
The Southeastern C o n f e r e n ce
Champ's time was 9.9 for the 100
and 21.5 in the 220.
Auburn's Don Johnson cracked
a 25 year-old Auburn team record
by running the 440 in 48.6, thus
shaving two-tenths of a second
off the old record.
Bill Fickling and Duke Brown
contributed greatly to the Auburn
cause, Fickling winning the high
hurdles in 15 seconds and Brown
taking the broad jump and low
hurdles. In all, Auburn won 11
first places and the Techmen one.
The lone Yellow Jacket winner
was Hugh Tannehill, who took the
880 in 2:04.3.
JIM MARTIN, the tall basket-eer,
tried his hand in a new field
against Florida as he threw the
javelin for the first time. His win­ning
toss of 164-3 in that event
seems to indicate that he is doing
all right in his new endeavor.
The victory was the 78th against
19 defeats for Hutsell's charges,
and gave them their 32nd winning
season in dual meet competition.

Auburn's baseball Tigers bring the 1953 season to a close

losing two straight games to the ., , .*, , ' . , ,,

Crimson team. The Tigers found
the offerings of Tide- pitchers
Gene Lary and John Paul Ander­son
difficult to master and com­mitted
a few costly errors to help
make the situation worse.
WITH TWO WEEKS of prac­tice
without a game, the Tigers
are hoping to have improved their
hitting and fielding enough to
gain a split in the series with the
cross-state rivals. To do this, Mc­Gowen's
men will have to sweep
the two-game set this weekend on
foreign grounds.
The Tide will probably throw
two of a trio of good pitchers at
the Plainsman. Besides Lary and
Anderson, Alabama has regained
the services of Deacon Jones who
has been injured most of this
season. Jones' return to the squad
considerably boosted the strength
of Happy Campbell's pitching staff
as far as depth was concerned.
IN THE LAST two contests with
the Tide, Tiger pitchers found the
big stickmen to be Cecil Ingram,
Bruce Welch, Jerry Watford and
Jerry Belk. Ingram, especially,
was a thorn in side of the Plains­men,
getting four hits in five trips
to the plate in the first game and
two hits in the second. First
sacker Jim Grant has been hitting
at a healthy pace lately and can
be expected to give the Tiger
hurlers trouble.
Auburn will probably throw
Paul Susce and Ernie Snow at the
Tuscaloos'ans in the season's fi­nale.

competition so far this year.
