Mozart Comedy
To Open Tonight
In Music Building
"Women Are Like That" (Cosi
fan tutte) the farce comedy by
Mozart will open at 8:15 p.m. Wed­nesday,
February 17, and will con­tinue
through Saturday, February
20. It will be staged in the Music
Building Auditorium and will be
sung in a new English translation.
Admission is free to students, 50
cents to others.
This third production by the
Auburn Opera Workshop promises
to be the most amusing ever and
features the immortal music of
Mozart combined with a hilarious
18th century story using the
fickleness of women as its central
theme.
Don Alfonso is a cynical old
bachelor who bets his young
friends Ferrando and Guglielmo
that their sweethearts can be
proved faithless. To prove it he
has the men disguise themselves
as Albanian noblemen who ard­ently
woo the women. The plot is
aided by Despina, a sharp witted
chamber maid. The story has a
happy ending but only after the
men admit that "Women are like
that:"
Ferrando is played by James
Cooper and Guglielmo alternately
by Fred Steele and John Langley.
Fiordiligi is played alternately by
June Foshee and Georgette Reims
and Dorabella by Anne Fite and
Sue Carter. Joe Groom is Don Al­fonso
and Nancy Johnson, Des­pina.
The production is directed and
staged by Richard Collins. The
scenery and lighting are by Clif­ford
Reims, assistant director.
FROM ALL REPORTS, Nancy Entrekin is superb in her last role
as a member of the Auburn Players. She is currently showing in
the arena production of "Private Lives" in Biggin Hall. Graduating
at the end of this quarter, she hopes to move on to brighter lights
of the stage world.
Lee County Hospital Administrator
Urges Cooperation In Blood Drive
The following letter from W. E. Stewart, administrator of.
Lee County Hospital, was received by Grady Loftin, chairman
of t h e Red Cross Blood P r o g r am for Lee County.
". . . I feel certain that the people of Lee County realize
that t h e success of t h e Bloodmobile's visit is directly .depend­ent
upon the number of donors
processed during that visit. I often
wonder, however, just how many
of our good citizens realize that it
is up to them as individuals to
make the Red Cross blood pro­gram
a success.
"I am afraid that too many of
us react toward the privilege of
giving our blood as we do toward
the privilege of voting. It is easy
for us to say 'my vote or my pint
of blood won't make any differ­ence.'
One pint of blood can very
well mean the difference between
life and death to any of us in
need of blood.
" . . . Bishop Fulton Sheen, in
his television appearance in sup­port
of the blood program, said,
Just imagine y o u r television
screen parting • and someone in
desperate need of blood being laid
beside you. .Would you refuse to
give your olood?'
"This js a very forceful way of
saying our blood does make a dif­ference.
Certainly we do not see
or know the individual who will
receive the blood we have donat­ed;
but we can all be assured that
it is being used where needed just
as if we were donating our blood
to the hypothetical individual
described by Bishop Sheen.
I
, "I sincerely wish that I could
have each of our citizens come
into Lee County Hospital and
witness just how much free Red
Cross blood means to the patients
that need it. •>
"In the two years that the Lee
County Hosiptal has been open, a
great number of our local citizens
who have been patients in our
hospital have come to realize that
the Red Cross* blood program has
great personal meaning to them,
whether they thought so prev­iously
or not. . . . All of these pa­tients
received this free supply of
life-giving blood because some of
us were thoughtful enough to
make that visit to the Bloodmo-bile.
. . .
"Because our hospital exists
only to render a very needed ser­vice
to our people, on behalf of
our citizens I want to thank the
Red Cross blood program for con­tinually
making available to our
patients a free supply of blbod in
whatever t y p e s or whatever
quantities we have had need for.
"The people of Lee County can
never be impressed too greatly
with the need for the donation of
their blood."
"SHAME, THE YELLOW BELLIED COWBOY" was the title of the skit by Kappa Alpha social
fraternity which took second place in the annual Blue Key Skit Night last week. The Kappa Sigma
skit, entitled "Auburn in the Twenty-fifth Century" won first place honors in the affair, but The
Plainsman was unable to obtain a picture of the skit prior to publications deadlines. Sigma Nu fra­ternity
was runner-up in third.place.
Student Union Opened
Officially Last Sunday
The official opening of Auburn's
new Union Building was expressed
in an Open House held Sunday.
Guests included people from all
over the state along with students,
faculty, and townspeople.
According to W. O. Lynch, Au­burn
Union manager, students
were largely responsible for di­recting
the day's activities.
Organ music was rendered at
interludes by students Joe Parm­er
and Harry Fololersnersck. Bob
Shields, chairman of the social
committee, had charge of serving
refreshments. The guests were
welcomed by Joyce Goff and the
cultural committee.

Watson To Succeed
Burns As Chairman
Of Village Fair
By Hani]) Royston
"Chick" W a t s o n , Brown-ville,
Tenn., has been appoint­ed
chairman of the Village
Fair c e n t r a l committee to
succeed Bob Burns, who re­signed
due to his intended
graduation at the end of this
quarter.
Plans-for the "biggest and best
Village Fair" to be held April
9-10 are being made by the cent­ral
committee, which is compos­ed
of student presidents and
dean's representatives of the var­ious
schools. Greater emphasis
this year will be placed on the
exhibits and tours sponsored by
the various organizations and
schools to offer visitors a clearer
picture of the academic side 'of
college life.
Watson, a senior in pre-law, is
a member of Spades, ODK, and
is listed in "Who's Who in Amer­ican
Colleges and Universities."
He served last year as superint­endent
of campus drives and is a
junior senator this year.
One of the major improvements
over past Village Fairs to be fea­tured
by this year's event will be
the amount of decorations on the
campus. The entire campus will
be decorated in keeping with the
"Village Fair" theme, featuring
pennants, streamers, awnings, etc.
Information booths and the like
also will be so constructed.
The newly completed Union
Building will undoubtedly play
an important role in this year's
event. Tentative plans are being
made to house exhibits formerly

Final Weeks Of February Filled
With Auburn Social Happenings
With the weeks of February
making a fast exit and bringing
the date for finals and the termi­nation
of another quarter, we find
the keynote in conversations cen­tering
around past and future so­cial
activities. Regardless of the
many recent weather changes r»]
some days summery and others
bringing a tinge of chilly winter
breezes—the social functions never
cease or lag at API. Instead, they
tend to increase as time slips away.
The social calendars are planned
far in advance in order to provide
student participants with adequate
social entertainment.
The month of February is cer­tainly
no exception to the rule as
far as social entertainment is con­cerned.
Formals, pledge swaps,
and costume parties are all popu­lar
topics for student gab-sessions
due to their many types of enter­tainment.
Another form of campus
entertainment' taking place re­cently
were the fraternity skits—
which were without any doubt
great and successful. Each of the
fraternities participating did a
wonderful job in planning and
presenting the great- variety of
programs. Congratulations to the
Kappa Sigma's and KA's, who
walked away with the trophies
presented for the best skits. !

THE DU PONT
DIGEST
Technical
Sales
A major in glibness and » minor in
solid information—those were the
mythical requirements for a sales­man
in the old days. But they really
never sufficed for a man selling the
products of chemical technology.
Today, the diverse applications of
Du Pont's 1200 products and prod-'
uct lines create a need for trained
sales personnel representing many
different technical backgrounds.
These men must deal intelligently
with problems in chemistry ahd en­gineering
applied to such fields as
plastics, ceramics, textiles, and many
others.
Du Pont technical men are as­signed
to various types of technical
sales activity. In some spots they are
equipped to handle all phases of sell-ing.
In others thSy deal^mainly ^rith
customer problems. Alsot,'^rtain de­partment
maintain sales develop­ment
sections, where technical £*»b-lems
connected with the introduction
of a new product, or a new applica­tion
ft>r-ah eBtabl&hed product, are
worked out.
Jfor example, a technical mari in
, one of Du Pont's sales groups *was
recently called upon to help a cus­tomer
make a better and less expen­sive
hose, for car radiators. Involved
were problems in compounding, such
as choice and amount Of neoprene,
inert fillers, softeners, accelerators,
and antioxidants. Correqfrprocessing
methods also had to be worked out,
including optimum time and tem­perature
of milling and extruding.
The successful completion of. this
project naturally gave a good deal
of satisfaction to the customer as
well as Du Pont. p,
In another case a customer wanted
to reduce carbon contamination of
arc welding rod stock. A Du Pont
technical service man suggested
changes in cleaning procedures that
lowered contamination by 90 per
cent. T h e new process also reduced
metal loss during heat treatment—a
benefit that more than offset the cost
of the additional cleaning operations.
Technical men interested in sales
work usually start in a laboratory or
manufacturing plant where they can
acquire needed background. Depend­ing
on their interest and abilities,
they may then move into technical
sales service, sales development, or
direct sales.
In. any of these fields, the man
with the right combination of sales
aptitude and technical knowledge
will find interesting work, and excep­tional
opportunities for growth in the
Du Pont Company.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY
/% certain Sophomore named Brown acquired the
appellation "Flash," not because he was lightning on the
gridiron, but just because he was never without an answer.
You'd pass him on the quadrangle and say "How's it goin'.
Flash?" He'd answer, "Air Express." Get the pitch?
Brown often referred to his "two-headed brother" in
conversations. One day a few men in his fraternity were
needling him.
"Your brother's two heads must present quite a few problems."
"Not really. The only problem was his neatness," said Flash.
"Neatness?" "Yes," answered Flash, "he worried about it.
Said he couldn't find a shirt that didn't wrinkle around the
collar. You see. he was often looking in two directions
at once, or eating and talking on the telephone.
Hard on a collar." .
"What did you do?" They kneio he did something about it.
"Simple. T got him the Van Heusen Century shirt with the
exclusive soft collar that won't wrinkle ever! I got him
different collar styles and colors, ffj^fc for the white, . HVJI •
$4.95 for the colors and superfine whites. You should have
seen the grins on his faces when he saw how those collars
stayed neat all day and night without starch or stays."
"I guess he can really hold his heads up now," said one.
"Yep. He figures he gets four times more wear from Century
than from other shirts. Of course, he actually only gets twice
the wear. He just figures in both heads."
One of the men visited Brown at Christmas, and found
it was all true.

Ray Anthony To Play For Greeks
In Student Ac Building February 27
Ray Anthony, " t h e young man with a horn," and h i s orch­e
s t r a will make a one-day stand in A u b u r n Saturday, Feb. 27,
w i t h a concert at t h e s t u d e n t activities building at 2 p.m.,
and will play for t h e G r e e k Week dance that night.
The young bandleader received his first music experience
playing with local bands while
attending high school in Cleve­land,
Ohio. After graduating he
obtained work in Al Donahue's
band, and later with Jimmy Dor-sey,
and joined Glenn Miller's
group in 1940 at the age of 18.
With Miller, Anthony made sev­eral
coast-to-coast tours as well
as two motion pictures as a trum­pet
star.
Four Years In Navy
After serving four years in the
navy, he formed his own dance
orchestra in the midwest during
1942. Three years later, he and
his band signed with Capitol Re­cords,
and it was via this medium
that he rose to national acclaim
as a top name bandleader. A na­tional
disk jockey poll labeled his
group as "America's Top Dance
Band" and hailed him as Amer­ica's
greatest musical name since
the days of the late Glenn Miller.
The poll also estimated that An­thony's
records accorded more
radio time through the country
than the combined total of any
three other bands.
In his success, "the young man
with a horn" has stressed versa­tility
in his music and orchestral
presentations,'spreading the var­iety
between jazz, swing, novel­ties,
and ballads. In his words he
attempts to produce music "to
please almost every taste."
Showmanship Exploited
Showmanship, n e g l e c t e d by
many dance bands, is an impor­tant
feature in an Anthony pre­sentation.
He often goes to ex­tremes
to provide a maximum of
visual appeal with his music, and
utilizes such novelties as parad­ing
his band through the aisles
of theaters. Anthony's annual it­inerary
now includes prom dates
at leading colleges and universi­ties
throughout the country and a
circuit of repeat engagements at
name band emporiums such as
the Paramount Theater, the Cafe
Rouge of the Hotel Statler in New
York, Frank Dailey's Meadow-

LITTLE ROY'S
Located 6 miles out on the Montgomery Highway
brook in New Jersey and the
famed Hollywood Palladium. On
an average the band plays on 100
college campuses during a year.
The Anthony band's most suc­cessful
records, selling in the
hundreds of thousands, have been
instrumental arrangements as
"Mr. Anthony's Boogie," "Dark-town
Strutter's Ball," "I Wonder
What's Become of Sally" and "Mr.
Anthony's Blues." Today, his big
ambition is to make a record that
will sell a million copies after
having gotten more than half­way
to that goal with several
other platters.
The "hopper's," in Anthony's
opinion, have been a major factor
in turning public interest from
band music, and he is one band­leader
who will have no part of
the wierd musical sounds that are
associated with the "bop." The
bandleader favors a full open-trumpet
style. He doesn't like us­ing
a mute because he feels "it
spoils that trumpet sound."
Because the unprecedented high
overhead of today makes the band
business big and precarious, An­thony
rehearses his musicians
hard and forbids such common­place
occupational practices as
smoking and drinking on the
stand.
The appearance of the Anthony
aggregation reflects the discipline
set forth by its leader. A Holly­wood
rady* announcer once call­ed
it "the best-dressed band in
the land," after noting the ident­ical
shoes, socks, shirts and neck­wear
of each member of the
fresh-pressed look of the entire
aggregation.

• In the fall of 1951, absences on
these days were quite a problem,
for no effective system was in
operation. The council of Deans
felt that some regulation should
be made, so they worked out a
plan, which called for a major
quiz on the day before a holiday
session. Some publicity was given
to the proposal, and the students
found it too stringent, so they of­fered
a more moderate plan. M.
C. Huntley, dean of faculties,
met several times w i t h these
student representatives and the
faculty. The faculty favored the
student plan; consequently, it
was adopted by .the Council of
Deans and stands today, changed
slightly to accommodate the new
grading system.
Speaking on behalf of the
Council of Deans, Dean Huntley
stated, "We are very greatly
pleased; the results have exceed­ed
our fondest hopes. We owe our
thanks to the student body for
making a difficult matter com­paratively
simple."
Arthur Moore, president of the
Student Body, commended the
students also, "A record such as
this, I feel, is indicative of the
high degree of success that can be
obtained by students and faculty
working together for the good of
Auburn."
Normal c l a s s d a y attendance
was 95 per cent, and every school
on the campus hit well above that
figure. The lower percentages also
include the absences of the days
before and after the holidays
those students dropped on ac­count
of absences. Percentage at­tendance
by school on Wednes­day,
Nov. 25, 1953, and on Mon­day,
Nov. 30, 1-953 was as follows:
Agriculture, 97.9, - 97.8; A i r

AGREE WITH MORE PEOPLE
THAN ANY OTHER- CIGARETTE
Politics Are In The Air LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
It's in the air. The time when aspiring
candidates perspire in their attempt to
shake every hand on campus is once mort
upon us. Introverts are fast becoming ex­troverts,
lovers of people; extroverts are
becoming falsely misleading; and enemies
are gradually becoming friends.
It's a messed up, mixed up, bewildering1
period during which the average run of
students is subjected to more attention
than usual. It's the ole hale and hearty,
calculated and inbred attempt to get the
vote . . . to gain the student's favor.
We don't begrudge a man or woman his
right to try to swing a majority. We ob­ject,
however, to falseness and a basic dis­regard
of the student's interests.
Personality wins elections sometimes;,
but it's improbable that a oandidate gains
office on that factor alone. There is little"
attached to that, thank goodness.
What is, and will continue to be, more
important is the record the candidate has
compiled thus far in his campus career:
Give us a man who qualifies himself by
flaunting a striking banner of achievement.
We do not care for a "look how much I've
done" attitude, however. If a man's rec­ord
is good, then it will gain considerable
notice.
In this coming campaign and subse­quent
election, we'd rather hear the aspir­ant
talk seriously about his proposal for
his tenure of office if elected. We would
rather an office-seeker show his sincerity
by his willingness to serve and his belief in
Auburn and flie Student Body.
The personality-plus character in the
coming election won't be worth two figs.
Auburn's New Social Group
Evidence of Auburn's rapid growth and
its outlook on obtaining those things which
are complementary is found in this week's
notice of another addition to the sorority
family.
Newest sorority to go Auburn is Delta
Delta Delta. We've heard good things
about the national organization. We are
led to understand that its national rank­ing
is high. That, just as many sororities,
Tri Delts' philanthropies perform a hu­mane
service. *
Tentative plans call for the group to
cement themselves upon the campus some­time
in the spring quarter. Subsequently
the charter will follow prior to the sum­mer
with an eye toward fall rushing.
At present, about six alumni are here
at Auburn. Unless there are more yet un­heard
from, the burden of work necessary
to get the chapter functioning will fall on
these shoulders. We do hot envy them,
since much of the success of the chapter
will depend upon the manner in which it
was instigated.
We commend Panhellenic for inviting
the sorority to become a part of the Plains.
Ten goddess groups will enhance the de­sirability
of sorority life on campus and
give the coeds a greater variety from
which to choose.

Gymnastics At API
Physcally s p e a k i n g , gymnastics is
known to produce a more well-round in­dividuals.
What many fail to realize is
that psychology is involved in the tricky
art. . t
This week's Plainsman is carrying an
article entitled "What Is Gymnastics?" We
advise our readers to look over the article
written by Coach Joe Lowder, who teaches
the subject.
It is practically a history of gymnastics
and, we think, will amaze many people
who merely considered it as a form of
muscle-building.
Gymnastics has come a long way since
being originated on campus. Evidence of
this are the intrepid and graceful perfor­mances
of a group who call themselves
Gymnastabats. Yet with the advancement,
all wonder why it has been so slow.
An investigation revealed that many
students are interested but there is no
room available to hold instruction. If the
course was merely designed to carry API
into the fold of competitive gymnasts, we
would hesitate to demand that space be
provided for the sport.
However, it is set up as an extra-curri­cula
activity for all to enjoy. Coaches
Lowder and Stubblefield are not so much
concerned with competition, though that
will be a test of progress and ability, as
they are with the psychological and phy­sical
factors involved.
If you doubt the value of such a pro­gram
drop around when the Swedish team
visits the campus in early March. From
all accounts it is a spectacle of rhythm,
grace, and coordination.
The Plainsman has continuously harp­ed
on the subject of using the student acti­vities
building for intramural sports and
the Gymnastic Club.
We cannot realize the validity of the
arguments used in keeping the building
empty. After all, what do we have a
Union Building for?
The Bloodier-The Better
Between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
next Tuesday and Wednesday, we at Au­burn
will have an opportunity to demon­strate
that we not only have foresight as
to our own welfare, but that we are also
vitally concerned with the needs of our
fellow man.
At that time, the Red Cross Bloodmo-bile
will set up facilities in the student ac­tivities
building. In deciding whether or
not to donate a pint of blood, one has only
to listen to one's conscience.
"Why give blood?" someone asks.
Put yourself in the shoes of a victim of
a car wreck; the father or mother of a
"blue baby;" the father or mother of a
child stricken with polio. They might well
be your shoes, some day—maybe today or
tomorrow. The chances are against it hap­pening
to you as an individual; but, with
a little human understanding, you can
sympathize with those to whom these hor­rors
are realities.
In most cases, your pint of blood draws
the thin line between life and death. Think
about it—what doe.s life mean to you? Is
is a great, beautiful, and worthwhile thing?
If you believe that it is, you will get in­describable
satisfaction from making the
gift of life to someone on the brink of los­ing
it. Moreover, through the Red Cross,
that someone (possibly you) will receive
it at no cost whatsoever outside doctor or
hospital expenses.
The Auburn Veterans Association and
Magnolia Hall, two relatively new organ­izations
as such, deserve to be commended
for their concentrated efforts to recruit
blood donors. If, other organizations will
follow these examples, the drive should be
a great success.—R.P.

"We'll keep the sports smell out
of the student activities building
if you will keep the perfume smell
out of the Sports Arena," was the
agreement made several years ago
by the Athletic Board and the
Social Committee.
This agreement, however silly
it may seem, is
one of the reas­ons
h o l d i ng
back the stu­dent
ac building
from use by the
i n t r a m u r a l
sports program,
b u t it would
help.
This column
realizes that the
committee working on this pro­gram
has to take many problems
into consideration before rendering
a decision. Conflicting engage­ments,
such as concerts, formal
dances, pep rallies, and other
things have to be worked out. It
would be necessary for the sched­ule
for the building to be made
out a quarter in advance; but, it
seems to me that all of the trouble
would be more than justified.
There are several arguments
that the intramural department
offers for the use of the building.
Their main point is that the
building is a student activity
building, yet an important student
activity is not receiving any bene­fit.
According to intramural of­ficials,
if the department could get
the building for basketball, vol-
. leyball, and badmitton, they would
have facilities for about 1200 more
students.
As it is now, about 51 teams or
540 men are playing basketball.
Two new courts could be put in
the ac building, therefore creat­ing
a place for about 500 more to
participate.
At the present, there are no
places for indoor men's volleyball
(except tournaments). Six courts
could be put into the ac building,
thus creating new facilities for
over 1,000 in that sport.
From 10 to 12 badminton courts
could be put into "the building,
creating recreation space for about
200 students.
To cite one example: In some
cases t h i s quarter, basketball
teams have had to start basket--
ball games at 10:80 p.m. in the
Sports Arena, and would not finish'
until about 12. This happened
many times. The student activities
building would eliminate this.
All told, if the intramural de­partment
could use the building,
it would increase the effectiveness
of that phase of student life over
three times. •
After all things are considered,
this column simply cannot see
how the committee could say no to
a plea with, so much force behind
it.
Executive Cabinet Report
Drives Report Highlights Meeting
By Doug Lunsford
The highlight of the last meet­ing
of the Executive Cabinet was
the report made by Strick New­som,
suoerintendent of camnus
drives. Plans have been completed
for the Blood Drive to be held
February 23 and 24 in conjunction
with Greek Week. The Blood
Drive Committee has completed
all details and made all arrange­ments
in order that API can again
have a very successful drive.
The Red Cross Blood Units from
Atlanta will be set UD in the stu­dent
activities building. They will
take donations between the hours
of 9 a.m. to 6 f.m. For the con­venience
of the student body, a
bus will make regular tours of the
camnus to pick up donors and
carry them to the student ac
building and after their donation
return them to the point of origin.
Forms have been distributed to
all fraternity houses, as well as
the men and women's dorms. The
committee is asking that you
pledge a pint of blood by signing
the list made available to you.
Much interest has been dis­played
in the drive by the fra­ternities
and sororities who have
made friendly challenges to dif­ferent
chanter of the greek organ­izations.
Magnolia Hall has set as
its goal 500 pints. This is half of
the goal set for the entire student
bodv of approximately 6800.
There are 1000 men living in
Magnolia Hall. In an effort to
reach their goal the different di­visions
are challenging t h e ir
neighbor division, with the losing
division obligated to give a party
to the winner. Arthur Moore,
President of the Student Body, has
stated t h a t if Magnolia Hall
reaches its goal they will be given
a large trophy in recognition of
their outstanding achievement.
Newsom also reported that stu­dents
giving a pint of blood would
be given a three hour excuse from
classes following their donation.

Two fleas fell in love and one
lovely June day they got married.
Young, industrious and ambi­tious,
the fleas worked hard and
saved their money. They sacrific­ed
fun to assure the future. One
day they counted their money
and were overjoyed to find they'd
saved five dollars.
"If *we can save five we can
save ten!" they agreed, so they
continued their thrift. They toil­ed,
economized a n d planned,
spurning the frivolous pleasure
of other fleas. Finally came the
day when their saving totaled ten
dollars.
That day they went out and
bought their own dog.

Frosh: "Prof, why is it that you

pathological procreative propen­sities.

editor and writer of pe­destrian
columns on T HE

After being informed that the
state legislature h a d pushed
through an act, number 888, with
the same alacrity it showed in vot­ing
itself a paid vacation last year,
I put the question to my EH102
class: Do you think it's right?
Those awake and paying a modi­cum
of attention—the minority, in
other words—felt that the act was
a good one. The concensus of
opinion was that since one couldn't
be sure of what was communism
and what wasn't by merely read­ing,
it would be better to have the
publisher put himself in danger
of all sorts of damage, suits by
labeling work communistic or
non-communistic.
Making no pretense to being a
statistical scientist and claiming no
indisputable revelation for my
figures, I'd like to show the results
of a quiz I passed out one day.
The quiz consisted of typical para­graphs
from five different sources:
three clearly non-communistic in
origin and two clearly communis­tic
in'origin. The sources selected
were:
1. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
2. The Bulwark by Theodore
Dreiser
3. A Speech Delivered Before
the U. S. Senate, March 30, 1950
by Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisc.
if anyone doesn't know.)
4. Crito by Plato
• 5. Ten Days That Shook The
World by John Reed
Before the School of Education
can rip into me, let me assure you
again that I make no claims for
the results of my figures. I postu­late
nothing. Here are the results:
Article I Yes 3 No 21
Article II Yes G No 18
Article III Yes 8 No. 15
(Undecided 1)
Article IV Yes 21 No 3 „
Article V Yes 15 No 9
The articles by Communists
were, of course, numbers two and
five.
A purely un-scientific observa­tion
is that the one undecided se­lection
on the whole quiz was by
a coed. Likewise completely un­scientific
wouid be the assump­tions
that Sen. McCarthy is some­what
fuzzy in his speeches before
the Senate, that a communist au­thor
can write a novel without
appearing communistic, that Plato
was born approximately 2,274
yearsjahead of his time.
Equally un-scientific would be
the observation that communism
is hard for some people to dis­tinguish
from life in the equine
world and that the only American
buried within the walls of the
Kremlin couldn't write convin­cingly
enough about the revolution
in November, 1917, to persuade
some people that he was a com­munist.
Who me? What do I think about
the new law? I swear that I am
not now nor ever have been a
member of the Communist Party
• or a member of one of its front
organizations as contained on the
Attorney-General's list — but I
think it slinks.

The Sign Post
Campus Artists Have A Field Day
By Red Provost
There are four more perform­ances
scheduled for the Auburn
Players' production of "Private
Lives," Noel Coward's hilarious
sophisticated farce. Don't miss it—
that is, if you can get there early
enough to get a seat. It's . being
held in Biggin Hall Art Gallery,
which will hold only 150 spectat­ors
per show.
Bob Knowles, who both acts
and d i r e c t s,
Vancy Entre-kin,
John Clen-n
e y , B e t ty
Wood, and Lin­da
Lee McCree
are combining
their talents to
give us a pro­fessional
- cal­iber
c o m e dy
which tops any­thing
I've seen
around h e re
yet. In.fact, I've paid goodly sums
Provost
to see less polished performances
on Broadway.
The show is being given "in the
round," a form of staging in which
the audience surrounds and is on
the same level with the set. This
intimacy intensifies the difficulties
of acting, but the Players are tak­ing
it in stride. The effect on the
audience is terrific. You'll have
to see it yourself to know what I
mean. You'll also enjoy the exhi­bition
of water colors on the walls
of the gallery. They were done by
Keith McPheeters, assistant pro­fessor
of architecture.
The play starts at 8:15 p.m., but
to be sure of a seat and see the
paintings, you should get there
about 30 minutes ahead of time.
'Death Takes a Holiday," the
third Players' production of the
quarter, opens for a ten-night run
at the Y-Hut February 24. This
eerie drama promises to be one of
the Thespians' most impressive
recent efforts. The plot deals with
the effect upon an aristocratic
household when Death, in a sinis­ter
joke, assumes human form for
three days and cavorts around
with the family and their1 guests.
The suspense is sometimes un­bearable,
and the climax won't
soon be forgotten. If the players do
justice to their parts (and I -feel
sure they will) this will be a pro­duction
well worth seeing.
On the musical side of the local
picture, an outstanding attraction
is upcoming tonight in the form of
"Cosi Fan Tutte," a Mozart Com­edy
opera which enlightens the ^
mal£ population on the intricacies
of feminine infidelity. It will have
a four-night run, and will be pre- —
sented in English.
v
All in all, the artists around the
campus have a lot to offer nowa­days.
Let's not let their work go
unappreciated.

'Private Lives'Rated A Spicy Hit
By JoAnne Lucci
The current Auburn Players
production, "Private Lives," is
really worjh seeing. The play is
staged in-the-round, and is a new
and interesting experience for
many API students.
The audience, which feels like
it is sitting on the stage with the
actors, seems to like the idea of
central staging.
The production
will be present­ed
t h r o u gh
Feb. 20, a nd
those who do
not take ad-v
a n t a g e of
catching one of
these last per­formances
will
certainly miss a
hilarious com-
Lucci edy.
Nancy Entrekin, by the way, is
outstanding in her last role as a
member of the Auburn Players.
Graduating at the end of this
quarter, she hopes to move on to
the brighter lights of the stage
world. Having followed her camp­us
career, we know she deserves
and will probably achieve a full
measure of success in whatever
line she chooses.
As for "Private Lives," anyone
who appreciates spicy humor is
sure to get their money's worth,
for there's plenty of spice!
* * *
Another event underway here
at Tiger Town is the Intramural
Debate Tournament, scheduled to
run through February /19. The
question being debated is, Re­solved:
that segregation should be
abolished in Alabama colleges and
professional schools.
The debate is open to sororities,
fraternities and independents, with
each team to debate both sides of
the question. Since the segregation
issue 'is a hot one right now, the
tournament should be a lively af­fair.
Opinion on the campus, judging
from the recent symposium and
editorials in The Plainsman, is that
Auburn will be big enough to ac­cept
Negro students without inci­dent.
This may be true, and we
hope it is, but we can't help but
wonder.
We feel that many Auburn stu­dents,
steeped in a background of
traditional segregation, certainly
will not welcome the move—it
if it comes, and it seems it must—
that will abolish a way of South­ern
life.
Given time, we feel that the
South could work out its own
problems w i t h o u t interference
from the Supreme Court, for
Southerners have always under­stood
the Negro and his difficulties
and felt more kindly toward him
than many northerners.
If time is not to be had, how­ever,
and if segregation is abolish­ed,
we can only hope that Auburn
students will give a good account
of themselves when they come
face to face with the situation.
As I Was Saying
Advertisers Mold Newspaper Policy
By Jack Boozer
Only the most naive and artless
assume that the American press is
free, except in the theoretical
sense. Of the 18,000 and something
weekly, daily, and semi-weekly
papers in the country, only an in- •
finitely small number can lay
claim to being non-partisan. The
average paper merely reflects the
views and opinions of 'its larger
advertisers. *•
To validate this statement, one
has only to read the same news
item in two or more publications.
Although the events are the same,
they will ordinarily appear so
dissimjJgRjtbat one might think he
is readifit*r'entirely different items,
instead of the same one.
The average American publica­tion
falls into one of several class­ifications—
the political press, the
independent press, and the organs
of wealthy families—news being
slanted accordingly. The term in­dependent
is misleading for one
might gain the impression that the
paper is non-partisan. What an
editor really means when he as­sures
the public of the validity of
his publication is that he does
have the right to choose; but he
neglects to point out that, in most
cases, his decision has already been
made by his advertisers. Seldom
does one find a paper disagreeing
radically with the views of its
larger patrons.
One of the great weaknesses of
the American press today is that
many fields worthy of extensive
editorial treatment are taboo. This
policy leads to great emphasis on
static, rather than dynamic, news.
The emphasis on movie stars,
criminals, sports, minor politicians,
etc., can be explained away by
this postulate.
The taboos observed by journal­ists
also account for many of the
instructional and insane articles
used to take up space in news­papers.
In fact, the fourth estate
ordinarily refers to such articles
as "fillers," the implication being
that they are used to fill up space.
To be blunt, a publication call­ing
itself a newspaper whose ap­peal
depends upon comic strips,
lovelorn columns, bridge lessons,
and a million and one contests, can
hardly lay a valid claim to the
title newspaper, notwithstanding
the popularity of such features.
The days when journalists wore
mailed gloves has given way,
figuratively speaking, to the day
of the open palm. But was it not
Talleyrand who said that words
were made to deceive people with?
Of the papers published in this
country, only four or five con­sistently
print unbiased news ac­counts.
Two of the more noted of
these papers, the New York Times
and the Christian Science Monitor,
slant their editorials, but generally
print reliable news articles. This
accounts for their tremendous
prestige in the world of journal­ism.
Unfortunately, this country
does not have the equal of the
English paper, the Manchester
Guardian.
The moral of this bit of "idle
vaporizing" is, take not one, but
two, grains of salt when you read
a newspaper or magazine. The
same moral can be applied to
many radio news commentators,
for many radio stations are owned
by newspapers, who apply the
same policy to the etheral waves
that they do to the editorial page,
only in a more subtle form.

Carter To Graduate This Quarter;
Bright Future Looms For 'Disc-Man'
By Sam Houston
The low, gravelly voice that haunts your radio throughout
the evening and into the night—if you're tuned to WAUD—
belongs to Tony Carter, "disc-man extraordinary."
The famous "I'm just getting over my. cold" voice of his
is as much of a trademark with the local Auburn station as
is Coke with the Coca-Cola Com­pany.
Unfortunately, the voice is
leaving. Yes, the man with the
records with the sore throat is
about to disappear from the old
scene here at the "loveliest vil­lage."
Our boy Tony is graduating.
That's something many of you
probably didn't know. Tony is a
student here. After three long
years, his time is almost up, and
he will soon leave, waving his
degree in history at the School of
Science and Literature.
Tony was born in Gatesville,
North Carolina twenty-five win­ters
ago, where he attended gram­mar
and high school. His first

"I'M JUST GETTING OVER MY COLD" seems to be the only

Ocala, Florida and worked over
the ether there. In Natchez, Missis­sippi,
he became program director

at Mississippi Southern Col­lege.
At the end of his freshman
year, he found that he could come

for API from what he had
heard through graduates, he de­cided
that Auburn was the place
for him, even after having offers
of other radio jobs in numerous
college towns. S6, to Auburn he
came.

programs. As time progressed, so
did his fame until there wasn't a
student in town who hadn't heard
of "Platter Parade" and had not
listened to it. That was his favorite
show and the favorite of his lis­teners
as well.
When he first took it over
"Platter Parade" was a dull life
less grind-organ of pop tunes.
Later on it became, with his brist
ly, h u m o r o u s interjections of
speech, a disc show of tremendous
popularity.
Because of "Platter Parade" and
his other ether wave activities,
Tony was written up in Billboard,
one of the top show biz magazines
in the country, and had features in
Cash Box and B.M.I. Music Memo,
famous show and radio profession­al
publications. On top of these
honors, he has received offers in
the past from other radio stations
and has been considered for work
in television.. Tony is definitely a
man with a future.
In addition to this, he has been
very active in working with
charitable institutions and has

Dancing Lessons
Being Featured
In Union Program
By John Raines
American and latin dance
lessons have become a featur­ed
• part in the new Auburn
Union program, according to
an announcement by W. O.
Lynch, manager of the Union.
Frank Le Noir, former instructor
•and studio supervisor for Arthur
Murray, (began teaching these
'dances this quarter.
, "Certainly dancing is one of the
most important aspects of social
life on any college campus, and
we are glad that now we can bring
this social asset to every Auburn
student at a very nominal price,"
stated Lynch.
Dr. David Mullins, executive
vice-president of API and an en­thusiastic
backer of the dance pro­gram,
said, "Auburn has been in
need of such a program for a long
time, and we feel fortunate in
having such a capable instructor
on the campus. I feel that dancing
will now come into its rightful
importance in our social life."
Students who are interested in
enrolling in the dance classes can
obtain enrollment material as well
as further information from the
information desk in the Union
Building. One hour classes will be
taught from 4 "to 6 and 7 to 9
o'clock Monday through Thurs­day
evenings.
The student can take any of,
seven American and Latin dances
in either beginning or advanced
courses. The seven dances are fox
trot, jitterbug, rhumba, samba,
tango, mambo and waltz. The $5
fee entitles the student to six les­sons
in any one dance or any com­bination
of two or more. A sched­ule
can be worked out with the
instructor.
Le Noir worked with Arthur
Murray a number of years in Los
Angeles, Miami, a n d Daytona
Beach, Florida, before serving in
the Korean War. He was an in­structor
at Los Angeles, supervisor
at Daytona Beach, Miami and
then back to Los Angeles respec­tively.
Le Noir also did night club
exhibitions while working with
Murray.
An Alabamian by birth, Le Noir
married a former Auburn student
from Camp Hill. They have two
children, the latest addition being
a son born right after the fall
quarter finals. Frank is freshman
in Pre-Law.

Plainsmen Take Road For Tilts With LSU, Tulane
Upset Minded Tigers Risk Standing;
Stopping Pettit Will Be Big Job
By Ronald Owen
Auburn's upset minded Plainsmen look toward Louisiana
this weekend, expecting bigger foes in LSU and Tulane, two
of the SEC's top ranking basketball quintets.
Joel Eaves' aspiring five will have their job cut out for
them both Saturday and Monday night. The two games will
count in the conference standings
and two losses could put the Tig­ers
way down on the list.
LSU First
LSU is the first one and the
bigger one Saturday. The Bengals
have yet to suffer an SEC loss,
their narrowest escape being with
Ole Miss. The Rebels fought hard,
but the LSU five squeezed by
with a 53-52 win.

Jordan, A Believer In Organization,
Loses No Time In Football Drills
Shug Jordan is a firm believer in good organization. Watch
one practice session in Cliff Hare Stadium and you'll tip your
hat to the man, for everything from beginning to end is car­ried
on with a minimum of wasted time and effort.
Last season he came up with the idea of two teams for a
one platoon football season, a move which sport history will mark
down as successful. Regular rotation of the two equally balanced
elevens played havoc with opponents and put the Tigers in the Gator
Bowl on New Year's Day.
That was good organization, but one has to watch a few practice
sessions to appreciate the efficiency of Jordan's football setup. If
you were a railbird at some of the workouts last fall, this is what you
would have seen: the X team running offensive plays against a redshirt
defense. The Y team polishing a defense against a redshirt eleven
running the opponents' plays. When they both looked good enough,
they would change. '
When they weren't doing this, the guards and tackles would work
under Shot Senn and Hal Herring at one end of the field; the ends
would be under the tutelage of Gene Lorendo and Joel Eaves, and
the backs and centers would be working under Buck Bradberry and
Charlie Waller.
Now that it's spring training Jordan has had to change a little.
But he has come up with a time saying idea. One backfield works
under Coach Dick McGowen, receiving instruction in the single wing
formation. McGowen is an old hand in this school, having made All-
SEC for Jack Meagher's single wing Plainsmen while a student at
Auburn.
At the same time another backfield is taught the T formation by
Buck Bradberry, Bradberry is an old T formation man, having played
with the Georgia Bulldogs, strictly a T team.
Still another backfield learns the tricks of the split T formation from
Charlie Waller. Waller, from Oglethorpe University, has spent many
hours trying to perfect this tricky formation.
That gives you three backfields working at once and nobody
standing around. That's getting things done right.
$ '-i- * ,
From now on out it's strictly big time basketball for Coaeh Joel
Eaves' talented Plainsmen. The next five games for Auburn are big
ones and are plenty tough.
It's LSU and Tulane this weekend, both on the road. Plainsman
fans'are anxious to see if Bob Miller can put a damper on the Bengal's
high scoring Bob Pettit like he did when Auburn met the Louisiana
five-last season. Pettit could garner only nine points last year, but
the Tigers still lost.
Pettit is currently averaging better than 30 points per game. That's
shooting with pretty good consistency in any league.
Tulane is pleny tough, too. The Greenies have taken several top-notch
teams to the cleaners this season, such as Kansas, Northwestern,
and Wisconsin. They have met, but lost, to some of the best teams
in the nation, Seton Hall for one, and are well versed in the game.
Kentucky comes up next for the Plainsmen. The Wildcats lead
the nation in offense, averaging 84 points per contest. They have made
no signs of slacking up despite the ruckus raised, over the eligibility
of some of the players.
The game will be played in Montgomery's Coliseum and a large
crowd will undoubtedly be on hand. It's a game-in which Auburn
must make a good showing.
Auburn's last two games are at home: one with Tennessee, March.
1, and the other with Alabama, March 6. The Volunteers will be tough
again this year. They still have Ed Weiner, high scoring forward, who
ruined Auburn in Knoxville last season.
As is customary, Alabama is the schedule-ending opponent. The
Crimson Tide has taken the Plainsmen twice this season both times
by an eight point margin. It might well be a different story when the
Tide comes to Auburn. There's a good bit of difference in the Plains­men
of then and the Plainsmen of now. '
It looks as though it might be the most interesting and profitable
season in recent years as far as Auburn is concerned. At. any rate the
record can be bared win pride.
per game.
Pettit is not all that has to be
stopped, however. Auburn is well
aware of that, for the big man
was held to 9 points by Bob Mill­er
last year and LSU still' won.
Benny M c A r d 1 e, playmaking
guard, lends versatility to the
Bengal attack. He's a sharp shoot
ing youngster who can ruin a
team with his long shots.
Tulane Another
Tulane is still another foe to
be reckoned with. The Greenies
are currently tied with the
Plainsmen for fifth spot in the
Southeastern Conference race.
Against the Green Wave Mon­day
night, the Tigers will not be
able to concentrate their defen­sive
efforts so much on one man
as they will with LSU. But Eave?
will have his men keeping'close
tab on the Greenies Hal Cervini.
The little guard is pacing the
Tulane offense, averaging over 15
points per game.
Another big gun for Cliff
Wells' five is Phil Wallace, tall
pivotman, who is currently sec­ond
in Tulane scoring with close
to a 12 point average per con­test.
The other possible starter
for the Greenies are Pat Browne
forward, and Dick Brennan anc'
Roy Stoll at guards.
Usual Starters
Eaves is expected to stick wit)
his usual starters. Bob Miller wil)
probably be at center, trying t<
maintain his 18 points per gam.
Shell, Elliott, Sfeber Three New Faces
In Auburn Spring Training Grid Picture
By! Bill Hutto
Enthusiasts of Auburn's gridiron "hot-stove league" are
mentioning three hew names quite frequently this spring as
the Plainsmen begin their off-season preparation for the 1954
campaign. Two of these athletes, halfback Alton Shell, and
guard Dickie" Steber, have" already reported to practice, and
the third, end Jerry Elliott, will
make his appearance soon, but
will not enter school until the
spring quarter.
Shell, a native of Georgiana, is
a transfer from Pearl River Jun­ior
College in Pearl River, Miss.
He is vieing for the starting half­back
spot in the Plainsman X
backfield along with Birming­ham's.

had two men guarding him near­ly
every game for the past few
weeks, but has come through in
style.
Bill Kirkpatrick and Jack Tur­ner
are the probable starters at
?uard for the Plainsmen. Kirk­patrick
has caught fire in his
home stretch and the little man
has proved to be a valuable asset.
Jim O'Donnell and Bill Fick-ing

is one of the fastest men to r e ­port
to Coach Shug Jordan since
Spring drills began. One of Shell's
most power-laden offensive wea­pons
is his sure-handed pass re­ceiving.
Steber and Elliott are both ce­lebrating
a homecoming this year.
Both had signed grants-in-aid at
Auburn for the 1951 season, but
the Marines beckoned and they
were inducted at the same time.
However, Elliott, the former All-
State flankman from Birming­ham's
West End High, lettered as
defensive end during the 1951
campaign. He suffered a knee in­jury
that year, but it was cor­rected,
and he played for the
Parris Island Marine squad and
was an All-Marine selection for
two straight years. At Parris Is­land
he was teammate of Steber's.
Elliott tips the scales at 195
pounds and stands two inches
above six feet. He is one of the
end candidates out to replace
Vince Nardone, who has been
drafted into the Army.
Birmingham Boy
Steber is also a Birmingham
boy, having prepped at Wood-lawn
High. He earned All-City
and All-State honors -there in
1950 and shortly thereafter decid­ed
to come to Auburn. He never
saw action in a Tiger uniform,
however, as he too, was Parris
Island bound.
The chunky 200-pound ex-ser­geant
is a strong candidate foi*the
gap left open in the X unit line
due to Ed Duncan's departure.
Chuck Maxime and Ray Moore
are also strong contenders for
this post.
Drills started last Tuesday and
have been highlighted so far by
light workouts. Practice will
continue until March 6, when the
Oranges and Blues will tangle in
the annual "A" day game.

Intramural Basketball Enjoys Busiest
Week As Cage Title Race Thickens
By L a r r y Conner
I n t r a m u r a l Sports Editor
The intramural basketball leagues enjoyed one of their
busiest weeks of t h e season w i t h 20 games being played this
past week on t h e S p o r t s Arena hardwood.
F r om all t h i s furious activity is beginning to emerge t he
real toughies in each league. In t h e f r a t e r n i t y leagues t he
SAE's a r e in u n d i s p u t e d possession of first place w i t h a 4-0
record, in League I; in League II t h e SPE's are r i d i n g a five
game winning streak that has g i v en t h em a two game lead
over second place AGR; in League III t h e KA's have a 3-1 r e ­cord
and half game bulge o r e r Alpha Psi, and t h e Sigma Chi's
a r e sporting a half-game advantage over t h e T h e t a Chi's in
League IV. The Sigma Chi's record so f a r is won four, lost
one, the Theta Chi's stand at 3-1.
I n the. Church League t h e only remaining undefeated team
is the fast breaking racehorses of .BSU, who r a n Westminster
i n to t h e court in t h e feature Church league game of t h e week.
In t h e independent leagues t h e VIG's a r e away out in front
in League I a n d t h e Devils are. not seriously t h r e a t e n e d in
League II, b o t h teams are undefeated.
In t h e D o rm division, Div. B holds a half game lead over
Div's V, H, a nd T. Div B's r e c o rd is 3-0, Div V and Div H
stand at 3-1, while Div T's r e c o rd reads 2-0.
The Devils lofty position in independent League II can
be laid chiefly to t h e efforts of t h e sharpshooting Strickland,
t h e i r high scoring center. Strickland sizzled t h e n e t s with
48 points during the past week. A high scoring forward
leads t h e VIGS, current top dogs in t h e o t h e r independent
league. Henter sank 37 points for t h em in last week's t wo
successful outings.
In the f r a t e r n i t y leagues individual scoring honors went
to Rosser of KA's, who bucketed 24 p o i n t s last week in a
single game. He edged out Kennington, Phi Delta Theta, for
t h e week's scoring laurels, Kennington hit for 23. In t h i rd
place for last week was Howard of Theta Chi w h o led his
f r a t e r n i t y with a 21 p o i n t night.
On the t a b l e tennis scene ft looks like t h e Westminster
Fellowship is out to f l a t t en all opposition again. t h i s year.

Wrestlers To fry For Eighth Crown
In SEIWA Tournament This Weekend
By Ronald Owen
Gunning for t h e i r eighth straight w r e s t l i n g crown, Coach
Swede Umbach and h i s t a l e n t e d matmen journey to Mur-freesboro,
Tenn., this weekend for t h e SEIWA tournament.
Action gets under way Friday night and e n d s Saturday.
The Plainsmen grapplers will enter a heavy favorite.
Seven Teams
WFm $>LAlttsMAN Wed., teh. 17, 1954
Including Auburn, there will be
seven teams participating in the
tournament. The Plainsrnen will
be vieing with Middle Tennessee
S t a t e , Vanderbilt, Mary ville,
Chattanooga, Sewanee, and Em­ory
for the coveted title.
With four Southeastern Con­ference
champions on his squad,
Umbach and crew are the logical
favorite in the affair. The Auburn
mat mentor can almost assuredly
bank on wins from Robert David,
defending champion in the 123
weight division; Ray Downey, de­fending
champion in the 130-

champ in the 167-pound division.
Though three have changed
weight classes they can be ex­pected
to be the big winners for
the Plainsmen. Ray Downey will
see action the 137-pound division
this time, and brother Dick will
go in the 157-pound class. Sand­ers
has moved up to the 177-
pound division.
Umbach's entries in the tour­nament
will probably be regular
season starters. Buford Cotton,
who performes in the 123-pound
class during the regular season,
will be the Plainsmen entry in
the 115-pound class for the tour­nament.

Beat Gators, 85-65
By Carmer Robinson
A detfeloping Auburn bas­ketball
team completely out­classed
a scrappy Florida five
S a t u r d a y night, pulverizing
the Gators 85.to 65.
F r om t h e t i m e John Coch­ran
sank the first Tiger basket
until the final buzzer sounded,
the Villagers dominated the game
with sparkling play and above-the-
average shooting accuracy.
Plainsmen; Ray Downey will be
in the 137-pound class; Pat Buck­les
will go for Auburn in the 147-
pound division and Dick Downey
will try for a new crown in the
157-pound division.
Al Myers will be gunning for a
title in the 167-pound class; Glen
Sanders will try to cop a title for
the Plainsmen in the 177-pound
class and Doyle James, usually
in the heavyweight class, will
wrestle in the 191-pound divi­sion
in the tournament.
A superb performance was
rendered by center Bob Miller,
who bucketed 24 points for game
high. Bill Kirkpatrick leveled his
sights and hit 14, most of them
being one-hand push shots. Big
Jim Martin also hooked in 14
points, which matched the 14 con­tributed
by forward John Coch­ran.
For the visiting Gators, Bob
Emrick, heavy-set center, netted
20 points, to lead his mates. Most
of Emrick's shots were deadly
aim hooks from a good distance
out. Highly touted Florida guard,
Sonny Powell, never got warmed
up and was held to nine points.
The victory was number 6 in
conference action and number 14
overall. The Tigers have a 6-2
SEC record and a 14-6 over-all
mark.
The Tigers led, 14-7, midway
the first period and extended the
margin to 26-16 by the end of the
initial frame. The Plainsmen
really got hot during the second
quarter and rifled in 20 points
against a weak Gator defense. As
the half ended the Eavesmen had
outdistanced the Floridians, 46-30.

Dear Editor:
WEPP Salutes the "Line-up"
On behalf of the War Eagle Po­litical
Party, it is felt that a salute
of gratitude is due Les Ford and
his All Campus Party for the in­formative
and bi-partisan article
appearing in the last Plainsman
issue. His fairness in noting a
second party's value to the camp­us
and also the constructive criti­cism
of the WEPP future came as
a pleasant surprise to our party.
It is hoped that a well-balanced
two-party system will develop
within our student body. The re­sults
could only mean a greater
percentage of students being, in
terested in the student goViernmenfc
and thus voting in the dictions;
more participation of the fitdep^n
dents in the government, a- bodst-j
itig of the school spirit and above
all, it means a democratictfctudfnt
government—open to all Mjbo naajt
wholeheartedly choose to enter in-«
to its activities.
Certainly, the ACP and WEPS
hold in common the interest ] o |
bettering the student body in 'all
of its phases. So take a salute
ACP for your splendid article and
may we enter the coming election
and its results with steadfast de­votion
for a greater Auburn.
Sincerely,
Abe Allen
WEPP Chairman

and Civitan, Kiwanis, Lions, Pilot

Today's Chesterfield is the
Best Cigarette Ever Made!
"Chesterfields for Me!" II
HI
The cigarette tested and approved by 30
years of scientific tobacco research.
IN THE still of the night—high above a sleeping American
city—an unidentified aircraft is spotted. In a matter of
seconds a lightning-like jet interceptor takes to^ the air.
Unerringly, with an Aircraft Observer showing the way, the
Air Force F-94 Night Fighter speeds to intercept the
stranger. The Aircraft Observer is the man behind the pilot
—the officer who keeps America's planes flying on course
and on target. Without him the Air Force couldn't do its job.
What is the Aircraft Observer?
He's a Radar Officer . . . employing an all seeing eye that
penetrates where human sight fails *
He's an Aircraft Performance Engineer Officer... know­ing
everything there is to know about his plane . . . keeping
it fit' for the skies and ready for action.
He's a Navigation Officer . . . plotting his plane's course
. . . with an entire crew depending on him for a safe flight.
He's a Bombardment Officer... in full control of the plane
over the target area . . . the Air Force Officer who "lowers
the boom" on the enemy.
What the Aircraft Observer gets
He earns over $5,000 a year. His silver Aircraft Observer
wings give him prestige and distinction, and he wears the
bars of an Air Force Lieutenant. They mark him as the
eyes, ears, and brains of America's Number One flying team.
What it takes to be an Aircraft Observer
The Aircraft Observer must be sound of limb, keen of mind,
and above all, must have the determination to be the best.
To qualify as an Aircraft Observer you must be single,
between 19 and 26V4 years old, and a high school graduate..
However, it will be better for you and the Air Force if you
stay in college and graduate before you apply. Then you,
too, can be one of the best... as an Aircraft Observer.
'Chesterfields for Me!"
C%^Ji/(m,
The cigarette with a proven good record
with smokers. Here is the record. Bi-monthly
examinations of a group of smokers show no
adverse effects to nose, throat and sinuses
from smoking Chesterfield.
