'0/e Bird' Questions
Allen On Issues
1 Of Major Importance
By War Eagle
Under the sponsorship of
the student body, Lt. Gov.
James B. Allen brought his
campaign for governor to the
campus last week. Mr. Allen
was accompanied by Mrs. Allen,
his eight-year-old son, and a
host of others.
When Allen spoke he said that
if there were Governor's Days on
the Auburn campus during the
next four years, he would personally
attend each year. He then
demonstrated that he knew the
football situation, by reciting the
details of our last year's wins and
losses.
Next the Lt. Gov. stated: "I did
not go to Auburn. I attended
Alabama. But I will root for Auburn
in every game except when
it plays Alabama; and I will root
for Alabama in every game except
when it plays Auburn. And
when Auburn plays Alabama I
will root for Auburn one half, and
for Alabama the other half."
After expounding on his honesty
and sincerity, Allen sta.ed
that he would try to take the- politics
out of the governor's office.
He also claimed to have jnade no
promises, and stated his desire to
meet all the' issues.
After his speech, the ole Bird
was eager to ask the prospective
governor several questions, and
finally got the chance in the
Union Cafeteria, where the candidate
ate lunch.
The questions asked Allen were,
"What was your stand over Governor
Person's proposed gift of
$150,000 to Auburn during the
recent session of the Legislature."
To this question Allen stated: "1
have never heard the Governor
speak about giving Auburn an
increase, and if he ever had tried
to do so it would have been illegal
under the constitution."
Another question put to the
candidate was: "Mr. Allen, what
part did you have in taking Act
888 out of an Education committee
headed by Jimmy Faulkner,
and putting it into another committee
where it would have a
better chance of passing?"
Candidate: "I have no recollection
of ever doing such a thing,
even though I have been accused
of it several times. I simply don't
know whether I did or didn't."
This is by no means all of the
conversation between s e v e r al
students and the candidates, but
it is the crux of what was said.

By Hamp Royston

Week Banquet in the Union Ballroom.
The Banquet also featured
a ceremony in which the fraternity
and sorority presidents lit the
candles, using the same candle to
light all. his ceremony attempted
to show the unity and brotherhood
which exists between all the fraternities
and sororities.
Workshop Held

also held in connection with Greek
Week. The Workshop included

By Jo Newsom
A record-breaking 1842 pintf
climaxed the 1954 Blood Drive
F e b r u a r y 25. In the two day
campaign, conducted u n d e i
t h e direction of Strick Newsom,
superintendent of campus
drives, in cooperation with
the American Red Cross, Auburn
exceeded the goal of 1000 by 842
pints. Although there are no official
statistics for confirmation
it appears that API has not only
set the Southeastern Area college
record, but has stepped into the
top standing nationally.
Over 2000 Offers
Both sunshine and rain seemed
to draw donors, and the students
and faculty kept the donation line
continuous for both days of the
drive. Including the rejections,,
well over 2000 persons offered
their blood to the Red Cross.
In a statement released Tuesday
morning, the Red Cross labeled
the blood collected, in this
drive for defense purposes and
gamma globulin production. The
GG will be distributed through
state health departments for use
in combating polio epidemics in
ihe summer and fall.
Newsom, more than pleased
with the results of the drive, said,
"The success of the drive was due
.o the concentrated efforts of col-
4ege officials and volunteer workers
who helped with the drive,
and to the enthusiasm of the entire
student body. I would especially
like to commend the residents
of Magnolia Hall for their
splendid turnout and the members
of all the fraternities and
sororities for going down at their
assigned times and keeping a
steady line of donors.
Knights Contribute
"I'd like to thank the Auburn
Knights for furnishing their bus
both for transportation to the
Activities Building.
"The wonderful response of
.students and faculty again manifested
the reality of the Auburn
spirit which makes ours such a
great student body," he concluded.
James E. Foy, Director of Students
Affairs, proud of Auburn's
showing, stated that it was an
outstanding performance, indicating
what students, faculty and
Auburn spirit working together
would do for the sucecss of a fine
cause.
This year's drive exceeded last
year's by 591 pints.
Coach Jordan To Send X-Y Forces
Into Annual Game For First Time
By Bill Hutto
•\o The fancy of Auburn folk will turn to the gridiron again
Saturday as Coach "Shug" Jordan's "X" and "Y" forces will
vie against each other for the first time in the annual "A"-
Day football classic. Cliff Hare Stadium kickoff time is 2 p.m.
As game time approaches, Coach Jordan's number one
problem is his lack of able-bodied
men in the quarterback department.
Math is Out
Rifle-armed Joe Mathis, the
sophomore from Eufaula who has
l o o k e d so impressive during
spring drills, suffered a broken
arm in last Friday's worftout. He
was being counted on for extensive
duty at the signal-calling slot on
the "X" squad.
The other addition to the casualty
list among the field generals
is potential "X" starter, Bill Bur-bank.
The Birmingham junior
suffered an injured shoulder last
v/eek, but should see some action
in the Orange and Blue clash.
The major portion of the "X"
squad's tactics will be directed by
Jim Pearson, while the "Y" start-egy
wil Ibe mainly in the hands
of Bobby Freeman.
Jordan Pleased
Coach Jordan expressed himself
as being "fairly well pleased" at
the progress of the squad.
Saturday's game will be the
initial meeting between the two
highly publicized grid platoons.
The rivalry between the squads is
extremely keen and competition
is friendly and wholesome.
All proceeds from the contest
will go to the A-Club,. who is the
sponsoring organization.
Line-ups Listed
As -it stands now, the starting
lineups for the two squads will
probably be: "X" team — Jim

is one of the main points
in Dr. Gulp's campaign theme as
he vies for this coveted office. The
state superintendent, as head of
the executive board, indirectly
controls all the educational activities
of the state except those of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Alabama College and the University
of Alabama. The board approves
all text books and 75 per
cent of the total lunds passes
through this office.
Feeling that people will support
the schools better if they know
exactly what they are supporting
Dr. Culp thinks that the citizens
of Alabama should be well informed
of the educational setup
in this state. Stating that he is not
sponsored by any clique or group
Dr. Culp hopes to represent all
the people of the state.

entirely impractical, according to
Dr. Culp. "Though I don't question
the motives behind the law, I
think that the wrong approach
was used in an effort to accomplish
them," Dr. Culp said.
An Auburn graduate, Dr. Culp
.-eceived his B.S. degree in education
here in 1937, after transferring
from Jacksonville State
Teachers College. He earned his
M.S. degree at Auburn in 1940 and
received his Ed. D. From Columbia
University a few years later.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Dr. Culp taught school in
Chilton County, where he served
as principal fo^ several high
schools over a period of years. He
also served on the professional
staff of the State Department of
Education from 1946 to 1951. He
joined the education staff at Auburn
in 1951 and assumed the position
he now holds.

CLASS OF '54
MEET YOURSELF-
10 YEARS FROM NOW
Ever wonder what you'll be like when the class of '54 holds
its 10th reunion? If you started to work for one of the
Bell System companies after graduation, here's a pretty
good idea.
INTERESTING, RESPONSIBLE WORK: Perhaps a Commercial
Manager, the company's representative and spokesman to as
many as fifty thousand customers. Or a Transmission Engineer,
helping to provide the telephone needs of an entire
state. Or a Supervisor in the Traffic Department, responsible
for the speed and quality of local and long distance service
in several cities and for the personnel relations of a large
number of employees.
WE MAKE SURE THERE ARE PLACES TO GO: The number
of college men hired is related to the number of administrative
and technical positions expected to be available in the
next 10 or 15 years. It is our policy to fill these positions from
within our organization.
ARTS, SCIENCE, BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND
ENGINEERING GRADUATES are among our particular needs.
The specific degree is not as important as the total effect of
your college training.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR MILITARY STATUS, contact your
Placement Officer soon for details on the opportunities for
employment with the Bell System.

Montgomery Advertiser Goes Demo LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Dick Bible?
v In the past several days, Montgomery's
Republican newspaper, The Montgomery
Advertiser, has b e g u n leaning toward
James B. Allen for governor. Twice in
recent editions The Advertiser has mustered
up enough courage to pat Allen on
the back.
So, it appears that a Republican newspaper
will support a Democratic candidate
for governor, after doing every thing in
their power to further the cause of the two
party system in Alabama. We find it
stimulating that the paper can find a Democrat
that they feel worthy of supporting.
It is very amusing the way The Advertiser
is moving into the race. They don't
just come out and state that they will support
Mr. Allen, they are moving in at a
snail's pace, four or five paragraphs at the
time.
Their latest offering, under the head,
"Allen's Blunt Candor," is reprinted below
for two reasons. First, it restates one of
the things he said while campaigning here.
Secondly, it is a typical of the round-about
way in which the paper is supporting
Allen.
"For the second time in the past few
days, The Advertiser cannot forbear to remark
the blunt candor of Jim Allen, candidate
for governor.
The lieutenant governor said in an Auburn
speech Friday that every Alabama
school teacher should have a raise of $500
a year, and if that meant more taxation—
let's have it.
"People like to be told by their candidates
that current revenues would be sufficient
if only there was a business-like
administration, etc. Voters know it ain't
so, but they'd rather be hornswoggled that
have it cold.
"We therefore are not certain that Allen
has helped himself with the voters by
telling them the truth (the same as he recently
did about a liquor referendum).
The story comes to mind of the man who
looked upon his brother's face as he lay
upon the morgue slab: 'Well, he had the
green light, all right.' v
"Allen may have to wait for heaven to
get his reward (or he may not), but in
any event, The Advertiser feels it a duty
to say, there goes a man."
Students Reassert Confidence In Red Cross
One of the things which contribute immeasurably
to the greatness of Auburn is
the spontaneity with which the student
body responds to the needs of humanity.
Despite the fact that the Korean conflict is
over, Auburnites set a national record in
the Campus Blood Drive.
It is only natural t h a t the spirit of
friendliness and cooperation existing here
should foster such an active interest in our
fellow man. The 1,842 pints of blood donated
is only a partial indication of the
overall response. Many students were
turned away because, for technical reasons,
their blood could not be used. Over
2,000 offered to donate.
Congratulations to St r i c k Newsom,
superintendent of campus drives, and to
all students who played a part in making
the drive so outstandingly successful.
In going 842 pints over the 1,000 pint
quota, API has given an overwhelming
vote of confidence to the American Red
Cross, an organization which has been subject
to unjust criticism recently. It is encouraging
to note that the students here
recognize the real worth of that gijeat institution.
Since campus rules allow only one drive
for funds during the year, the Red Cross
will make no effort to solicit money or
members from the student body in the present
nation-wide campaign. This does not
mean that our support is not needed. The
Plainsman hopes that students will take
the opportunity this week of giving the
campaign a boost at the street booths and
in the theatres.
Tempest In A Tea Pot
"When I hear the word culture," .said a
celebrated Nazi poet, "I reach for my revolver."
And Hitler himself declared early in
his career: "We suffer only from an excess
of culture. Only knowledge is valued.
What we need is instinct and will."
The attack on culture is an attack on
the free mind, on liberal values, reason,
and nonconformity. It says of the intellectual
who seeks restlessly to find new answers
to old questions: "Yon Cassius has
a lean and hungry look; he thinks too
much; such men are dangerous." And it
sees in every professor a possible conspirator,
a probable reader of Marx and dealer
in dangerous th6ughts.
This tendency to find culture suspicious
has shown itself in many ways in the United
States lately. There is, of course, a
healthy American pragmatism that puts
the emphasis on getting things done and
rightly suspects an arid intellectualism entirely
divorced from experience.
But the growing distrust of the teacher,
the artist, the natural scientist—and even
at times the clergyman—is not healthy. It
is deliberately cultivated by the forces
posing as the preservers of red-blooded
Americanism.
There are always those who, when they
come across new ideas counched in unfamiliar
language, would rather reach for
their gun than for their dictionary.
But the founders of the United States
were men of deep culture, thinkers who
valued reason above "instinct and will,"
and so long as Americans are true te their
finest traditions they will realize that society
needs the theorist as much as the man
of action, intellectual as much as material
productiveness.
There is an academic pallor around here
which pervades everything. Nothing seems
to pulsate with the vitality we always
associated with education. We swim in
a dead sea. We eat stale bread.
Every word from the north tells us of
experimentation in education; from the
west we hear of expansion; from the south
we hear of revolution, but here, we hear
nothing except "Move over for the BA
School."
Are we sitting here, a calm eye of an
academic storm raging elswhere? Probably
so. But it is the calmness, not of
serenity, but of absolute sterility. It is
as if our tubes were tied off.
If we consider the spectrum of thought
to proceed (left to right) from red to blue,
we must admit, sadly, that there is nothing
on this campus to the left of yellow.
The late Bob Taft's political ideas set the
campus pace with the average half way
between Senator McCarthy and Bertie
McCormick. In fact, there's not a self-respecting
liberal left, and those who make
the pretense (and few bother even to pretend)
clear their throats and say, "I know
you'll think me a Communist for saying
this," and then give birth to a mouse.-
We retch.
Our cup runneth over with tepid tea;
our lemon slice is molded.

Plain White Wash
Not The Union, But The Confederacy
By Herb White
The Auburn Union Building is
fulfilling a great need in the API
student body, but there are those
who think that the name of the
building should be changed. After
hearing much comment on this
pertinent subject, I have decided
to print a letter from a loyal
Southerner that The Plainsman
received several days ago. One
has only to read the letter as it
is reprinted below to see that the
South "is rising again."
"Dear Editor:
"It s e e m s to
me t h a t we
Southern s t u_
dents at Auburn
have been
sleeping on the
job during the
last year. While
we h a v e been
enjoying t h e
c o m f o r t s of
mint julep, magnolia blossoms,
corn pone, and such other treasures
of Dixie, the biggest bit of
modern carpet baggetry has been
going on right under our red
noses since those . . . yankees
started rumors about us losing
a war back in the old days.
"I think that the Union Building
stands as a symbol of the ole
Auburn Spirit and all that kind
of stuff—but gad, look at the
name they are going to chisel on
the piece of architecture! We
White
have been undermined with more
of that yankee propaganda right
before our very eyes, and nobody,
except me, sees that this is another
plot against the South.
"Now mind you, I am a rational
man, but I can't take that sort of
thing, down here in full view of
Southern students, faculty, visitors,
Doc Hodge, Cuz, Barney and
the rest of turnip greens and
blackeyed peas supporters. I ask
you, what did Ray Anthony think
when he came to town? He
thought that he was back up
there in that unmentionable part
of the country where they think
a "hot un" means a good date.
The first thing he saw was Auburn's.
$1 million Union. This union
business will creep up on us
if we don't do something about
it—now!
"I can take the union shop,
union suit, and suit of the union,
but a union building is just too
much! Are we to sit idly by and
see a nice building used for the
purpose of ridiculing the South?
£ say 'NO' and we should change
the name to the AUBURN CONFEDERACY
BUILDING.
"Do something man, now that
I have brought it to the eyes of
the press. We can't wait much
longer. What wrath hath been
wrought?"

'Skits And Skirts' Scheduled Tomorrow
By JoAnne Lucci
"Skits and Skirts," the Sphinx-sponsored
sorority skit night, will
be presented in the Union Ball
Room on Thursday, March 4, and
promises to be better than ever
this year.
The rumors are that the coed
Greek groups are going all out
to put on good shows and if this
is true the audience is certainly
in for an enjoyable evening.
We u n d e r stand
that both
Sphinx, senior
women's h o n orary,
and the
sororities have
been h a r d at
work for some
time now preparing
for this
event, and that
they plan top-notch
e n t e r -
Luccl tainment.
Alpha Delta Pi has won the
trophy for the past two years
with their "Moth Ball" and
"Candy Ball" skits both of which
were execellent. The keen competition
this year should make it
even better than usual from the
audience's viewpoint.
* * *
The first 'weekend of spring
quarter will be the coronation
date for Auburn's 1954 "King For
A Day." Some lucky male, nominated
by a dormitory or sorority,
will be selected by the students
by penny-a-vote balloting.
Proceeds, as usual, will go into
a scholarship fund to help some
deserving student. This worthy
cause is sponsored by the Auburn
Independent Organization a n d
Aquila.
These two groups have joined
forces in sponsoring "King For A
Day" for the first time this year,
since Aquila is a relatively new
organization for independent women
and is not quite a year old.
This combination should aid
both AIO and Aquila, and help
make the Coronation Ball a huge
success. Students are urged to
cast as many one cent votes as
they like, thereby contributing
to the scholarship fund.

Auburn's third annual Greek
Week has come and gone, climaxed
by the IFC Dance last Friday
night a n d a record-breaking
blood drive. API students are to
be commended for their fine turnout
to donate the life-saving
pints.
We understand the other activities
of the week were also rated
successful, and we are glad to see
any and all progress made toward
better relationships between all
groups on the campus. We hope
it will continue to grow and prosper
in the future as it has in the
past.
The Sign Post
Burning Books Emit Foul Smoke
By Red Provost
The main emphasis in most of
the protests against various measures
taken to shackle literature in
America has been on the irrational
fear evident in the suppressors.
Although fear plays a prominent
role in these activities, it is not the
only factor involved.
Self-righteousness rears its ugly
head in almost
e v e r y case.
Certain persons
or groups set
themselves up
in their own
eyes as a sort of
deity, and they
often convince
large segments
of the population
that they
deserve the position,
situation is not limited to
Provost
This
the controversy over "un-American"
writing, but is even more
prominent when authorities start
branding and banning literature as
being "immoral."
Allen Rankin, in his "Rankin
File" column in the Montgomery
Advertiser last year, pointed out
some of the more ridiculous cases
in this Vein. Here are a few choice
ones:
" . . . In Youngstown, Ohio, a
police chief has bulldozed some of
the pocket-sized works of Hemingway,
Dos Passoes, Maupassant,
D. H. Lawrence, and Somerset
Maugham off that city's newsstands,
and has threatened distributors
with arrest if they continue
to handle these authors.
"In Cleveland, police won't allow
the citizenry to read pocket-sized
editions of Sigmund Freud's
'General Introduction to Psychoanalysis.'
It contains 'a chapter on
sex.' In Cleveland also, the same
ignorant and arrogant fools have
banned Apuleius's 'The Golden
Ass,' because 'the title of the book
might be offensive.'

are trying to make book
censorship nation-wide and government

As I Was Saying
Students Give $46,000 In Blood
I rr By Jack Boozer
Our recently concluded blood
drive reminded me of some of the
early attempts at blood transfusions,
a topic which has been
the subject of many learned dissertations.
One of the more readable
of these dissertations appeared
in the "Pulse of Pharmacy"
in 1953, a publication of
Wyeth Laboratories.
According to Philip H. Van
Itallie, one of the earliest transfusions
on record was given to
Pope Innocent VIII in 1492, after
he had suffered a stroke. This is
an interesting event, if it really
occurred, because it presupposes
a knowledge of the circulation of
blood prior to Harvey's experiments
in 1616. At any rate, legend
states that not only the Pope, but
the three young boys who donated
their blood, died as a result of
the transfusion.
The first successful transfusion
involved the transfer of the blood
of a dog or sheep into the arm of
a living person. By some miracle,
several of these early patients
survived, although they nearly
died due to incompatible blood
reactions. One such survivor was
referred to in the literature of
the period as being a "little
cracked in the head." In 1670, the
French Parliament outlawed the
transfer of animal blood to humans.
The first successful transfusion
in this country was performed
in 1867.
With the discovery of agglutinating
substances, blood types, Rh
factors, and sodium citrate, blood
transfusions b e c a m e practical.
The German discovery of polyvinyl
pynolidone during World
War II provided an effective
plasma volume expander, modifications
of which are now being
used by our armed forces. The
need for whole blood not abated,
however, as it is has many r a tional
therapeutic indications.
Incidentally, m a n y hospitals
buy blood, paying approximately
$25 per pint. This means that Auburn
students contributed $46,000
worth of blood to the American
Red Cross.
While I was at the University
of Alabama, rriariy sots—pardon
me, I meant students—would sell
a pint of blood whenever they ran
short of funds. And, as they had
diluted t h e i r remaining blood
sufficiently with alcohol, they
would sell another pint. For obvious
reasons, t h e s e sots—students
that is—didn't stay in
school too long.

College plays seldom impress
me, but "Death Takes A Holiday"
did. The Auburn Players rendered
a remarkable performance on
opening night. The settings were
excellent and showed a great deal
of effort on the part of various
individuals. The person in charge
of lighting effects achieved notable
results with his tools. If
anyone deserves a medal for the
play, he does, for he was required
to perch on a small platform,
barely large enough to support
himself, for two hours.
Unlike many modern plays,
"Death Takes a Holiday," is not
overwhelmingly vulgar, except in
an obtuse sense of the word. With
a bit of polishing on the part of
the supporting cast, the play ;
would rank favorably with var-ibus
Broadway productions that
I have attended. Bravos are in j
order.
Tales From Teem
Writer Discovers New Course
By Bill Teem I
While looking through my class
notes the other day, I discovered
I was taking psychology. I was
glad to find that out because I
have always liked psychology, as
a matter of fact, some of my best
friends are psychopaths.
The last psychiatrist I saw was
Dr. Divan in Birmingham. Dr.
Divan was one of those doctors
who go commercial in a big way.
He had a sign out front, "Two
Couches—No Waiting" and another
in his office which said:
"Guaranteed Satisfaction or your
Mania Back." Actually, Dr. Divan
isn't much of a psychiatrist,
and anyone who would go to him
for treatment ought to have their
head examined. I went to him for
two years and paid thousands of
dollars to find out that I didn't
have an inferiority complex . . .
I'm just inferior.
You have to give him credit for
being a g o o d business man
though, he told me that if I didn't
pay my bill, he Was going to let
me go crazy. That was pretty
mean of him; I guess that's why
they call him Divan the Terrible.
While I was waiting in his office
last week, I overheard two of
Dr. Divan's colleagues discussing
their troubles in getting intelligent
responses from their patients.
"Suppose you ask me some of
your questions," one of them suggested.
"Well, my first question is,
what is it that wears a skirt and
from whose lips come pleasure?"
"A Scot blowing a bagpipe,"
the first answered.
"Right," replied t h e second.
"Now, what is it that has smooth
curves and at unexpected moments
becomes uncontrollable?"
"Bob Feller's pitching!"
"Right again! Now, what do
you think of when two arms slip
around you?"
"A football tackle," replied the
first.
"Right," said the second, "but
you'd be surprised at the silly answers
I keep getting."
Just then the door to Dr. Divan's
inter-office opened, and the
nurse asked me to step in. As I
started to go in, a woman on her
way out brushed by me with a
camel on a leash. Being nosy by
nature, I asked the nurse what
was the matter with the woman.
"Nothing," she said, "but her
husband thinks that he's a camel."
When I finally got in to see the
doctor, I explained to him that it
really wasn't me that needed
treatment, but that I had a roommate
who insisted on emptying
ashtrays.
"Why, that's not so unusual,"
said the doctor.
"Yes, Doc, but in his mouth?"
After explaining t h a t he
couldn't cure my roomie—but
that I could make it more pleasant
for him by smoking candy
cigars—he offered to psychoanalyze
on his one-cent sale.
Not being one to pass up a bargain,
I reclined upon the couch
and started to tell him about my
dreams, "Doc," I say, "you've got
to do something for me. Every

Draughon Commends
Students On Drive
I wish to commend you for the
enthusiastic and spirited way in
which you conducted the Blood
Drive. The response of the students
to a great need was in the
highest Auburn tradition. It is a
wonderful thing that the Auburn
Wareagles have set a new national
record. I am proud of the work
done by the student committees
and entire Student Body.
Most sincerely,

Campus Drives Head
Writes Concerning Blood
Dear Editor:
Wednesday evening brought to
a close another Blood Donation
Drive. The remarkable turnout of
students and faculty in the campaign
demonstrated again the unity
and spirt which are the trade
marks of Auburn. As superintendent
of campus drives, I would
like to express my appreciation
for the friendliness and cooperation
that made my job of making
arrangements a real pleasure.
First, my thanks to the members
of the Drives Committee: Joe
Anderson, Katchie Barron, Jean
Dudley, Ray Henderson, Gene
Lynn, Jo Newsom, Pat Patterson,
Red Provost, and Betty Sanderson.
They did the work that made
the drive possible.
I would especially like to commend
the residents of Magnolia
Hall. They showed that, in addition
to being a fine place to eat
and sleep, Magnolia Hall is definitely
an organization which contributes
toward making the Au-
THE COXSWAIN
WHO
WANTED TO BE A NUDIST
T h e coxswain of a leading university crew didn't like
to be tossed.in the water after a victory. He didn't like it
so much the crew started tossing him in the water any
old time they saw him near it.
He complained bitterly that it was ruining all his sportshirts.
He liked nice sportshirts, but all he owned had either
shrunk or streaked or spotted. He was not a happy coxswain.
With no more sportshirts, he contemplated joining a
nudist colony.
He told the whole wretched tale to the Dean of Men. -
The Dean said, "You like really good sportshirts, eh?
Something like a fine gabardine?"
"Uh huh," the coxswain beamed.
"Try this-take $5.95 down to the nearest men's store and
get a Van Heusen Van Gab. It's the best-looking
gabardine sportshirt you've ever owned and it's completely
washable-any kind of water. What's more, it's got real
pick-stitching on the collar, pockets and cuffs...it's got
a Spoi town collar that looks as smart with a tie as
without. Van Heusen really knows how to make 'em."
Said coxswain is now sportshirt king of the campus.
Owns Van Gabs in all smart non-fade colors. Called
best-natured coxswain on east coast. Doesn't wait to be
dunked by crew. Jumps in, Van Gab and all.
Canterbury Elects
Canterbury C l u b , Episcopal
student organization, has elected
officers to serve the remainder
of the school year.
Heading the group are John
Conover, Mobile, president; Mary
Jane Smith, Birmingham, vice-president;
Judy Scruggs, Birmingham,
secretary.
Bill Brown, Auburn, is a new
member of the Episcopal student
vestry. Bubba Harding, Birmingham,
is treasurer of the Canterbury
Foundation. He is assisted
by Bill King, Alexander City.
burn Spirit a living thing.
Also gratifying was the response
of the Greek organizations and
the girls' dorms, whose cooperation
in reporting at the assigned
hours helped keep a steady line
of donors, which made it possible
for such a large amount of blood
to be collected in so short a time.
The .Auburn Veterans Association's
kickoff Tuesday got the
drive off to a fine start. The spirit
and civic mindedness shown by
these older students was outstanding,
and was influential in the
response of many other students.
Especially helpful in this respect
were the Tau Kappa Epsi-lon's,
the Sigma Chi's, and the Pi
Kappa Alpha's, who postponed
their lunch to keep the lines full
at noon.
Many people commented that
the attractiveness of the volunteer
workers diverted their thoughts
from giving blood, and made the
experience more pleasant. These
girls were members of Sphinx,
sororities, a n d other organizations.
Also helpful was the cooperation
of the dieticians in the boarding
houses, fraternity houses, and the
college dining hall. They planned
a blood donors menu during the
two days of the drive.
The Auburn Knights, with typical
enthusiasm, furnished their
bus as transportation for blood
donors. Everyone who rode "the
ole bandwagon" or saw it around
the campus knows how much color
and publicity it gave to the drive.
Again, The Plainsman came
through by keeping the Blood
Drive foremost in everyone's
mind. Without the services rendered
by this group, the success
of this drive would not have been
possible; indeed, The Plainsman is
instrumental in the success of
many of our campus activities.
Last and most important of all,
I would like to thank each and
every member of the Auburn student
body and faculty who went
down to the Student Activities
Building and offered to give a
pint of blood. This turnout of
over 2,000, from which the Red
Cross collected 1842 pints of blood,
is another example of the Auburn
spirit, which is so prevalent on the
Plains, and which has given Auburn
such a fine reputation.
Sincerely yours,
Strick Newsom
Supt. of Campus Drives

More Congratulations
On API Bleeding
Dear Mr. Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to congratulate the API
student body for their fine response
to the Blood Bank Drive
on February 24-25, and to commend
those student leaders who
worked out so excellently the organizational
details of the drive
which has led Auburn to national
recognition.
We at Auburn are known everywhere
we go for our fine spirit
. . . "The Auburn Spirit." It matters
not so much what the interests
at hand are—educational, athletic,
civic, religious, or other—the spirit
in which Auburn men and women
operate has the potentialities of
reaching and going over the top'
in any project we undertake. This
spirit of unity and hard work, and
t'he urge to "fight to the last gun"
is exemplified in the affairs of
Auburnites wherever they go.
Again congratulations. That's
the true Auburn Spirit, which
time after time places Auburn
over the top. Watch it operate in
the next undertaking of true Auburnites—
watch them again go
over the top.
Sincerely yours,
George C. Foster
Student Body Receives
Thanks For 1842 Pints
On behalf of the hundreds of
men, women and children whose
lives will be saved by the 1842
pints of blood donated last week
by the Auburn student body, the
Lee County Chapter American
Red Cross says "Thank you,
thank you many, many times."
It was a deeply inspiring sight to
see the splendid team work of
your organizing committee and
the generous whole-hearted response
of the donors and would-be
donors. Besides enabling Lee
County to top its blood quota for
the year, it will give conclusive
evidence to the National Blood
Committee that the American
people believe in this program of
providing free blood to save lives
and promote health and combat
disease. Again, o u r sincerest
thanks.
We would like to have you
enthusiastic young people as
members of the Lee County
Chapter of t h e American Red
Cross while you are in residence
at Auburn and do hereby extend
you an invitation to join. The
month of March is membership
Month for Red Cross throughout
the United States and we are currently
engaged in attempting to
increase t h e present 21,000,000
members to 30,000,000. Because of
our respect for your "One-Drive-on-
the-Campus" plan, with which
the policy of our organization
does not permit us to join, we
will make no effort to solicit
either members or funds through
the usual student campus channels.
However, membership in
the Red Cross is open to all citizens
18 years or over. Many of
you who could not contribute
blood may wish to be a part of
the tremendous movement by
joining. Annual dues are $1.
There will be booths on the street
and at the picture shows during
this week, and we shall be happy
to have you join this truly international
force, whose work goes
on in 71 countries in the world.
A welcome awaits you and a
program of activities such as other
campuses engage in will be provided
for you if you so desire.

Auburn Coed Thinks
Spirit Becoming Too Lax
Dear Editor:
Auburn has always been the
friendliest, most neighborly college
in the South. When I came
here in 1952 there was a common
feeling of hospitality and friendliness.
Most of the people I met as I
walked around the campus spoke
cojfcally to me. This "Auburn
Spirit" boosted my morale as it
did the morales of the other new
students. It made me feel that I
was a part of this greatest of all
educational institutions. It instilled
in me a part of .this wonderful
Auburn Spirit.
However, as one walks to classes
now, a great majority of people
go by, never lifting their heads,
seldom realizing that someone
has walked by them.
I know personally two boys
from out of state who have said,
"when we speak to people they
just look at us as if they think
we're crazy." This isn't a very
fine impression for newcomers to
our school.
I'm sure you have noticed this
decline in interest on the part of
the Auburn student. Perhaps
you're holding a position wherein
you can possibly influence to
Student Body, can do something
to make everyone have a big

meet a person on the campus.

More Time Needed For Spring Drills;
Twenty Practice Sessions Not Enough
Every coach laments the fact that colleges nowadays aren't
allowed enough time for spring traning, which is true without
a doubt. But, believe it or not, there once was a time
when they had too much of a good thing.
Down at the field house the other day some of the coaches
recalled their playing days and their spring training sessions, and
the general consensus was that in the good ole days they might have
had just a little too much football.
Now, back in the times when Shot Senn was an Auburn
gridder (1933* to be exact) football was a year-round process.
They came back right after Christmas, donned pads and went
to work. It continued for a good many months, the stopping
point being left up to Coaches Chet Wynn and Rodger Kyler.
That kind of schedule had its disadvantages, too, and Senn wasn't
hesitant in pointing them out. "That was too much," the veteran line
coach said, "it'd get' mighty old after a while. The boys knew they had
a long hard road ahead of them and they just couldn't give it all
they had."
Even in recent years spring practice was extensive and had a
tendency to get old fast. Coach Joe Connally, a Georgia gridder in
1946, '47, and 48, recalled that when he played for the Bulldogs they
managed to get a couple of months off each year. Those ten months
of work weren't mostly in sweat togs either.
But under those conditions all was not tears. They started slowly
right after the Christmas holidays and built up tempo as they rounded
into shape.
Though none of them want to revert to the "good old days" they
feel that it's a mighty unhappy situation right now. Under the present
rules, colleges are allowed 20 practice sessions in a 36 day period.
Which, according to Coach Charlie Waller, is not nearly enough time.
"You have to be in pretty good physical condition now to start spring
training. With only 20 sessions the rough work has to begin the first
day."
There's not enough time, either, it seems to bring the boys who
need the training around. With six or eight coaches working 75
to 100 gridders, most of their time has to be devoted to those boys
who have already proved their worth. Many times a good prospect
might be overlooked because he didn't know the fundamentals
and nobody had time to show him.
So, it seems to be an "in-between" situation. Twenty days is not
enough and unlimited practice is too much. What then is a good
arrangement? "Six weeks," came the spontaneous reply from these
coaches. "That gives you enough time to bring your reserves around
and is not too extensive to make the game get old."
Sounds reasonable from here.
X And Y And A-Day
Right now it looks like it would probably be all Y team come
Saturday and the A-Day. But I wouldn't bet on it if I were you. A
logical favorite lost last year.
The Y's have all but one of the same team it had last year. The
single loss was Charlie Littles at right half. And they've got a top-notch
replacement at that position in Hoppy Middleton, a lad who
has looked good so far this spring.
On the X team, the situation is not nearly so bright. They
have the job of replacing Vince Dooley at quarterback, Ed Baker
at center, Ed Duncan at guard, Charlie Hataway at fullback,
Bobby Duke and Joe Davis at right half, and Vince Nardone at
end. George Atkins, stellar right guard, will also be missed in the
game due to a back injury that is keeping him from participating
in the spring drills.
There's a some good replacements for the vacancies, however,
though none are tried and proven. Chuck Maxime and Dickie Steber
are capable of holding down the guard slots; Jim Crouch has had
the experience at end; Frank Reeves and Jimmy Strain will carry a
lot of weight at center; Ray Minor will be a hard man to handle in
the fullback slot; Bill Burbank and Joe Mathis are both capable
quarterbacks, and Alton Shell and Bill Whitten are first rate right
halfbacks.

The Swedes maneuvered gymnastic

the audience was literally left
with their mouths hanging open.
Their free exercise routines' were
marvels of absolute control and
were performed with a perfect

cat-like grace.
A peculiar and unTamiliar piece
of equipment used by the Swedes
during the exhibition was the high,
padded table which is the only
piece of apparatus which they are
carrying with them on their tour.
The high table vaulting which they
performed on the apparatus provided
a tense picture of simultaneous
action as the gymnasts catapulted
themselves in various
tances across its top.
Perhaps their performance on
the highbar, table vaulting feats
and tumbling routines brought the
greatest roar of applause and delight
from the audience. Those
who witnessed the exhibition gained
a lasting impression that will be
long remembered around the API
campus.
The Auburn Civitan Club sponsored
the show. Credit goes to Joe

ONE FINAL GET TOGETHER for the 1953 edition of the Auburn Tigers, basketball wise, who
close out the season against the University of Alabama Friday night in the Sports Arena. Under
the able tutelage of Coach Joel Eaves, the Plainsmen have had one of the most successful hardwood
seasons in years and are currently fifth in the conference. Eaves' Tigers have suffered two
defeats at the hands of the Tide already this season, one being a conference affair.

Intramural Basketball Rapidly Closing;
Conner Gives Team Stars For Year
By Larry Conner
Intramural Sports Editor
The 1954 intramural basketball season is rapidly drawing
to a close. Only the playoffs remain before this court campaign
becomes history.
The final week of play provided a roaring finale for an
already exciting season.
The big. showdown struggle between the Sigma Chi's and the
Theta Chi's in League IV went to the Theta Chi's, 36-33, after a
gruelling uphill struggle. Sigma Chi held the lead until the last
minute of the ball game.
Carter was high scorer in a losing cause with 19 points and Reece
and Mathis paced the Theta Chi's with 12 and 11 points respectively.
In another crucial encounter Phi Delta Theta unraveled the Delta
Chi victory streak 58-45.
The Phi Delts jumped out in front and led all the way. The
Delta Chi's, who seemed to be suffering a severe off-night, never
got either their offense or defense to clicking.
J. Collier, despite the coldness of the rest of the Delta Chi's, was
red hot and led in individual scoring with 22 points.
Hampton led the winners with 18 points and played a fine floor
game.
B.S.U. became the 1954 Church League basketball champions by
bouncing the Chicks 42-26. The Chicks made a fight of it at first
but the tall Baptists gradually wore them down.-
Taylor led B.S.U. in scoring with 18 points: Armstrong was second
with 9 points, and Tabor and Pasear led the Chicks with 7 points each.
Since this season is about over, now would be a good time to
salute the individual stars of the different leagues.
This list is probably not complete since it is based on only my
own observations. If I have by chance, overlooked some worthy
warrior, please let me know, and I'll see that he gets the recognition
.he deserves.
In fraternity action the brightest stars were: Dismukes, SAE;
O'neill and McGauley, PKA; in League I; Sparks, SPE, and Petree,
KS, in League II.
In what was probably the strongest overall fraternity league,
League III, quite a few players deserve individual notice; Rosser, the
always dependable KA forward, and Leberte, also of Kappa Alpha;
then comes Kennington and Hampton, PDT; J. Collier and Christopher,
DX, and Home of Sigma Nu.
In the duel for League IV supremacy, Howard and Mathis of
Theta Chi, and Carter of Sigma Chi, turned in outstanding performances
night after night.
In independent plsy Martin, DJ; Stephenson, Shots; Henter, VIG's;
Matthews, Vets, and Atkins, Theta Xi, were the ones who stood out
in the League I fracas.
In League II it was Strickland, Devils; Dolson, Slicks; Culbreth,
Hops; Yarbrough, Clowns, and Hammond of Navy, who gave their
teams that extra firepower.
In the Church League Taylor of BSU; Lambert, Westminster;
Rogers, Wesley, and Tabor, Chicks, are superlatives.
Lanley and Derrick of Division B, and Hyche of Division T ran
arnuck in the Magnolia Hall League.
That's the way I see 'em, the top contenders in top flight leagues.
All you Independent and Church League managers be sure and have
your softball rosters in to Coach Evans before that March 12 deadline.
It's going to be another great diamond season this year and I
hate to see any team not able to be in there when spring comes to
the plains and the umpire hollers, "Play ball!"
Jim Martin, As Stand-in For Miller,
Has Averaged 12 Points Per Game
By Hamp Royston
That determined looking young man wearing the No. 32
who comes in at center'for Auburn when the going gets rough
is one Jim Martin, forward and center deluxe.
Martin, playing mostly behind Bob Miller, has averaged
approximately 12 points per game in the last five games.
Chances are that had Miller not
appeared on the scene, Martin
might have been the Plainsmen's
big gun this year. But he has been
invaluable as a stand-in for
Miller, keeping the same quality
of play going when Miller leaves
the game.
Besides being quite adept at
the bounce-ball game, Martin also
lists among his accomplishments
a private pilot's license and a
very commendable grade point
average. A senior in agricultural
administration with a major in
statistics, Martin has a B-plus
overall average.
Martin is also a member of
Scabbard and Blade, the "A"
Club, past president of Track and
Saber, and is a member of Kappa
Alpha social fraternity. He will
receive his commission as a second
lieutenant in the infantry in
June whan he receives his degree.
, All-State
Martin, an All-State basketeer
at Greensboro during his high
school days, has steadily developed
into one of Auburn's outstanding
centers. The 6'5", 195-pound
Martin does his share of the work
under the backboards and is high
on the number of rebounds list.
His deadliest shot is a one handed
push from the free throw circle,
and most of his points are scored
from there. Unusually fast for his
size, and a good ball handler,
Martin contributes much to Auburn's
fast break when he is in
at forward.
