              Graduate School Reorganization
Announced By Dean Fred Allison
An announcement yesterday by Dr. Fred Allison, Dean of
the Graduate school, made public the. completion of the re­organization
of the API graduate teaching faculty into two
categories, the Associate Graduate Faculty and the Graduate
Faculty.
The inauguration of the doctoral
~Thz'VlaJLndmart
program at API in the fall quar­ter
of 1952 set into motion numer­ous
activities in the Graduate
School office for the purpose of
upgrading all work on the gradu­ate
.level and of establishing
standards and requirements recog­nized
in graduate work and re­search
among the leading uni­versities
of the nation.
THE ACTIVITIES included the
reorganization of the Graduate
Faculty in line with the policies of
well established graduate schools,
comprising land-grant institutions,
state universities and privately
endowed universities.
API's graduate faculty is classi­fied
into two categories, the grad­uate
faculty and the associate
graduate faculty. Classification
procedures determining graduate
faculty were based on "widely
recognized and approved criteria."
MEMBERSHIP on the graduate
faculty is accorded to those ac­tively
engaged in graduate in­struction,
taking into considera­tion
recognized professional stand­ing
as shown by research, publi­cations,
or other scholastic ac­tivity.
Each member must possess the
highest degree commonly awarded
in -his field, or the equivalent in
prestige and recognition, as well
as -demonstrate interest in and an
ability for teaching on the gradu­ate
level.
Membership on the associate
graduate faculty is accorded to
those faculty members "who do
not at present meet stated qualifi­cations
for full graduate faculty
standing, but who are actively en­gaged
(1) in graduate instruc­tion
and (2) in research and/or
other appropriate activity."
ACCORDING TO Dean Allison,
the graduate teaching faculty is
composed of 150 members.
Registration Mark
Settles At 2,508
According to Charles W.- Ed­wards,
registrar, final registration
figures reveal the total .enroll­ment
for the summer term now
stands at 2,508. Of this number,
681 are coeds.
Enrollment by schools is as fol­lows:
agriculture, 188; architec­ture,
167; pharmacy, 104; chemis­try,
76; education, 809; engineer­ing,
540; home economics, 86;
science and literature, 450, and
veterinary medicine 65. Of the
total, 480 are graduates, 743 are
veterans, and 44 are high school
students.
High school students are in­cluded
because the city school,
system is financed by API during
the summer. This unusual pro­gram
enables the college to offer
practice teaching courses in its
schedule. The l o c a l schools,
through this program, are given
the chance to stay open during
the summer months. Not only do
high school students from Auburn
benefit but also many students
from surrounding communities are
offered the opportunity of sum­mer
training.
NOTICE
Members of the Ring Commit­tee
for the summer quarter are
Jim Vann, chairman, Walter
Everidge and Lester Ford ac­cording
to an announcement
today by Bob Mayo, acting
president of the Student Body.
Official class rings may be
ordered through any one of the
members. The phone numbers
are: Vann, 627; Everidge, 245
or college extension 242, and
Ford, 159 or college extension
242.

TVA Slash Expected To Affect
API's Agricultural Aid Service
Auburn's aid to the state of Alabama and adjacent areas through cooperation of its
experiment station and extension service with the Tennessee Valley Authority is being
hampered by a slash in TVA funds made by the Republican-controlled House Appropriate
tions Committee. The complete effect of the slash is not known at the present time.
The condition is not expected to be grave enough to vitally affect the work of the ex*-
periment station nor the extension
service. However, the cut in funds
will be felt in certain phases of
the two departments.
According to Dr. E. V. Smith,
the experiment station, alone will
lose $7,000 through the elimina­tion
of two contract projects with
TVA. P. O. Davis, director of the
extension service, stated that his
department does not know what
effect the cut will have. Davis has
long been a strong endorser of the
agricultural program in the Ten­nessee
Valley area.
Auburn's experiment station
will lose $5,000 in its support of a
joint research project of a bio­chemical
process involving wood
products. The cut will also elimi­nate
$2,000 on a joint soil survey
being conducted in a county in
North Alabama.
According to Hill, the cut in
TVA funds is a complete violation
of Republican campaign promises
made by President Eisenhower.
The slash has drawn bitter pro­tests
from Tennessee and Ken­tucky.
Alabama Senator Lister Hill,
currently waging an all-out fight
against the Republican slash,
warned last week that the end of
TVA aid was in sight for API's
work in agricultural, soil, and
water conservation activities; in
livestock and dairying; in refores­tation,
forest farming, and fire
control; and in forest insect and
disease control.

Episcopal Minister
To Speak Sunday
At Protestant Series
The third speaker in the sum­mer
series of the Protestant Com­munity
Services will be the Rev.
Merrill Stevens, Episcopal Rector
of the Church of the Holy Inno­cents
of Auburn.
Reverend Stevens arrived here
from Live Oak, Fla., June 1 to as­sume
the duties of rector. A native
of Connecticut, he received a B.A.
degree from the University of
Florida in 1943 and was awarded
a B.D. degree from the University
of the South, Sewanee, Tenn., in
1950.
SINCE THAT time, he has serv­ed
as rector of Episcopal Churches
in Madison, Fla., and Live Oak,
Fla. From 1943 to 1947, he served
overseas with the field artillery of
the First Division.
Services will be held every
Sunday through August 16, at 8
p.m. in Graves Centre Amphithe­ater.
In the event of bad weather,
the services will be in Langdon
Hall. Hourly announcements of
the change will be made over
station WAUD. '
The P r o t e s t a n t Community
Services are sponsored annually
by the API Faculty Committee on
Religious Life, in conjunction with
the Episcopal, Methodist, and
Presbyterian Churches of Auburn.
The schedule for the remainder
of the summer is:

concert accordionist, who will ap­pear
in Langdon Hall the evening
of July 22.
Included on the Players' pro­gram
tonight will be a perform­ance
of Gian-Carol Menotti's "The
Old Maid and the Thief," an opera
comedy in English which enhances
informality by means of simple
stage properties and a small cast.

Sing, Band Concert
Set Tomorrow Night
The Music Department will
sponsor a step sing and band- con­cert
tomorrow night at 7:30 in
front of Langdon Hall. This will
be a weekly event through July
30.
The step sings, with one excep­tion,
have been an annual event
at Auburn since 1932. Originally,
the singers sat on the steps of
Langdon and a screen for project­ing
the words was on the ground.
Since the participants have in­creased
to approximately 500, the
screen and singers have reversed
positions.
Songs (popular, western and
hymns) will be directed by Rich­ard
Collins. The band, directed by
Dave Herbert, will play between
the songs.
The program will last about an
hour and girls on 8 p.m. permission
will be given late permission ac­cording
to Betty Cosby, assistant
dean of women.

ters API lives at Magnolia Hall at
one time or another.
For this reason, these student
counselors are working to make
the students feel at home and part
:of the group. The hall is divided
into 24 divisions which house 36
men each, but only eight divisions
are being utilized this summer.
EACH DIVISION, headed by a
counselor, elects its own officers
t o govern the division. These of­ficers
compose the Magnolia Hall
self-governing body.
The counselors are selected on
the basis of outstanding leader­ship
ability and scholastic attain­ment.
They must have attained
at least a junior standing in
school. Their jobs range from
talking to homesick boys to talk­ing
to parents about the facilities
offered at the^iall.
ORDINARILY there are two
graduate counselors, but there is
only one during the summer quar­ter.
His job requires so much of
his time that he only takes half
the amount of a regular load in
school. -
At Magnolia Hall, all boys are
encouraged to participate in ex­tra-
curricular activities. The stu­dent
counselors feel that partici­pating
in their division activities
help the boys .to develop qualities
of leadership. The facilities of the
building offer students the last
word in comfort." Daily mail serv­ice,
a snack bar, and spacious

the extra features of. the modern
building.

Is A Revision Necessary? LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
Much concern has been expressed over
the recent closing-out of several classes
in the summer curriculum.
Even though enrollment is small, the
summer quarter is a vital phase of API
instruction. Seniors and graduate workers,
alike, are given the chance to schedule
courses required for the completion of
their training. Another very important
Junction of the summer session is to pro­vide
teachers in Alabama and neighbor­ing
states with courses which are needed
to meet state requirements for instructors.
In its attempt to shed light upon the
«auses of the problem, The Plainsman
found that the problem exists due to ac­tions
on~4he part of two parties. Students
iand the administration are jointly re­sponsible
for the problem as it now stands.
The students accept their share of the
responsibility when they pre-register for
the.summer quarter and fail to show up.
Since pre-registration, in part, serves as
a means of determining which courses will
4>e taught in the summer curriculum, any
false entry will throw the estimation off.
This then is justification for the fact that
some classes had to i>e closed out. '
Some may question, why close the classes
anyway? Several factors enter the-picture.
A time proven policy of the administra­tion
is to teach only those classes which
have a minimum of 12 students enrolled.
Through past experience, this number has
proven to be economically sound and
logical.
Approached from the economic stand­point,
the situation becomes more rea­listic.
The summer quarter operates sepa­rately
from the budget set up for the
normal school period. It is supported main­ly
through student fees. The administra­tion
feels, and rightly, that the summer
quarter should not operate a more ex­pensive
program than that which is of­fered
in the fall, winter, and spring.
The Plainsman is certain that in view of
existing information, the college makes
every effort to schedule those courses
needed by students for graduation. How­ever,
this newspaper feels that a more ac­ceptable
summer period of training could
be achieved through more diligent plan­ning
of the curricula to be offered. This is
where the administration is at fault
Rather than spread the summer cur­riculum
out, the administration should for­mulate
a concentrated program. There is
not the slightest need to offer a wide­spread
schedule when enrollment is off
sixty per cent, or when there is danger of
exceeding the funds available for this
period of training. There can be no bene­fit
in the present method of scheduling.
A concentrated program on the other
hand would allow a more accurate apprais­al
of the costs to be expected for this peri­od.
Knowing where the approximate
boundary line is, would be a great aid in
staying within the budget. But this alone
is not the only benefit such a re-vamped
program would achieve.
Undergraduates and graduates, alike,
would know ahead of time which courses
they would be certain of acquiring. There
would be no discontent over a class being
closed out when some students are. in
school for the primary purpose of taking a
particular course. _
A concentrated program, The Plainsman
maintains, would be of aid to the faculty.
Many are faced with the dilemma of choos­ing
their activities for the summer. As
the situation now stands, a faculty mem­ber
may agree to teach and there is no
guarantee that he will acquire a full sum­mer
load. There is no fairness in tfete if
his class, or classes, should happen t|k be
closed out. This is particularly true, when
he could be directing his efforts along the
lines of research, or in the writing of a
text, or in the pleasure of relaxation.
All in all, the problem faced by the ad­ministration
boils down to above-board
costs caused by a too wide-spread pro­gram
for the summer period. Perhaps the
solution is not apparent, but the problem
certainly is. In any case, the summer
quarter provides for a much too vital
training phase to be done away with.
Since it must exist, measures must be
taken to improve it.
The Plainsman Fights Back
Censorship has always been something
that has been faced by newspapers of other
colleges. Withholding of the news has been
a problem, as well. Sometimes The Plains­man
runs up against it as it did in secur­ing
information on the reorganization of
the graduate faculty.
In the past, it has been a policy of The
Plainsman to cooperate with all sources
of news. In the past, all sources of news
have congenially placed its faith in the
•integrity of the paper and the common
sense of the editor. Perhaps this editorial
comment is making a mountain out of a
molehill, but give a good molehill time
and it will develop.
The Plainsman has always stood for the
progressive Auburn. It has always experi­enced
a keen sense of satisfaction in
watching its development. When someone
has the unmitigated gall to declare that,
in effect, the newspaper is concerned more
with style than it is with presenting the
facts, then that person is biased.
Particularly when it comes down to an
attack on the style of the newspaper this
is true. Perhaps it would be a good thing
to state that newspaper style is an arbitrary
matter.

The Sign Post
CARE Offers Opportunities 1
I read recently that a number
of fraternities at an Eastern
school had adopted'the practice of
having each of their members
drop a penny in a box after each
meal. The proceeds from this box
were used to support a European
war orphan through CARE.
There is at least one fraternity
at Auburn that I know of which
has adopted one of these children,
i.e. Sigma Nu. There might be
more, but, being away from school
this quarter, I am not in a position
to find out.
In a fraternity which has 50
members eating at the house, these
pennies would add up to about
ten dollars per week, and the do­nors
would never feel the loss.
There are many good causes to
which the money could go, but
none would bring more satisfac­tion
than the personal contribu­tion
toward the very existence of
a child.
Fraternities offer a great deal
to the lives of their members, and,
through them, to society in gen­eral,
but I feel sure that we fall
short of our potentialities in not
using more of our strength of or­ganization
and unity to help those
who need it most.

"For now we see through a
glass darkly." (a poem).
A pox on the scourges of the
century:
By Red Provost
Television and third-dimentury.
This tidbit of not-quite-blank
verse escaped my headbone after
a recent sojourn in the progressive
city of "Hotlanta." In spite of de­tailed
uncomplimentary reports by
by friends on the third dimentia,
I intrepidly decided to see for
myself if this new phenomena was
really so unphenomenal.
Unfortunately, just as I got
my ill-fitting glasses on (upside
down), a lion jumped into the lap
of an imaginative lady on my left.
She screamed and ^hrew back
her arms, knocking my goggles
into the darkness. I returned to
the lobby to get another pair,
which, I found out later, didn't
do much to unscramble the mess
on the screen.
I left the theatre two hours
later with bloodshot eyes and a
confirmed contempt for the blur­red
panorama I had just wit­nessed.
I retired to a nearby bar
and order a Pine Float (a glass
of water garnished with a tooth­pick),
which was all I could af­ford
after having paid $1.25 for
my third-dimenstrual thrills. I
then suffered through forty-five
minutes of watching two blubber-bound
Aborigines feign a series of
headlocks and forearm smashes
before the cameras of the other
marvel of the scientific era.
I'll take the A-bomb. IVa

One of the most outstanding
Christian youth workers that the
local Methodist Church has known
has been transferred from Au­burn
and is the new pastor of the
Methodist Church in Eclectic.
The Rev. Joe Blair's influence
and his keen
understanding
of young people
will long be re­membered
here
at Auburn. His
life here was
one of complete
service. His
heart was open
not o n l y to
Methodist stu­dents
but to
students of all
faiths as well.
This brilliant young man, who

had word that Methodist towns­people
in Eclectic are quite proud
of their new pastor, and we can
easily see why.
Ashland Shaw, a graduate of
API in 1950, has assumed duties
as the new director of the foun­dation.
Shaw comes to Auburn
fresh from the Candler School of
Theology at Emory University
where he will receive his bachelor
of divinity degree in August.
With him, come reports of the
outstanding work he has done at
the Atlanta YMCA while attend­ing
Emory.
To Joe Blair we say, "a job well
done," and to Ashland Shaw, we
extend our heartiest welcome.

Only one person, a graduate stu­denCtl,

is too far to go unless one has a

pool to be entirely too small and
the water used in it to contain
too much chlorine.
"If the University can afford
three swimming pools, Auburn
should be able to afford at least
One good one," according to Wil­liam
Williams, Mobile. Joyce
Bradley, Dadeville, also noted that
most schools the size of Auburn
have large outdoor swimming
pools.
"The present pool is adequate
tor small swimming classes, but is
not adequate for extra-curricular
activities," commented Bobby
Merritt, Camp Hill, who also noted
that it is more fun to swim in an

"Lake Chewacla is too far away
and too dirty," stated Kathryn
Brown, Anniston. She suggested
Ross Square as an ideal location
for a new swimming pool.
Mrs. Annie Smith, Auburn, not­ed
that API's present lack of an
adequate swimming pool deprives
many students of a worth while

that it would provide a
place for students to gather on hot

With its new advanced post­graduate
program, Auburn comes
of age and we assume our place
among the first-rate educational
institutions of the country. Al­though
API has offered the mas­ter's
degree for many years, it is
only recently that it has started a
doctoral program. No longer will
Alabamians be forced to attend
out-of-state schools for their ad­vanced
training.
This will be a boon for the
general promulgation of education
within the state, not to mention
the manifold ways it will bene­fit
Alabama's rapidly expanding
industrial set up, long dependent
upon technicians trained in other
states.
Under President Draughon's
able supervision, the schools com­prising
API evaluated themselves
to determine if they were quali­fied
to offer the Ph.D. degree. Six
departments qualified and cur­rently
it is possible to obtain'Tan
advanced graduate degree in the
field of nutrition, animal hus­bandry,
mathematics, zoology-en­tomology,
school administration,
and school supervision. As other
departments build themselves up,
they, in turn, will offer the doc­tor's
degree.
' The School of Education has
the largest number of graduate
students working towards advanc­ed
degrees and probably will con­tinue
to have the largest number
for some time to come. This par­ticular
school has made such a
reputation for itself that many
students who formerly attended
Peabody and the University are
now coming to Auburn. In fact, it
is said in certain circles that the
University of Alabama's modifica­tion
of its requirements for the
master's degree in education and
its commencement of graduate ex­tension
courses is due to the in­creasing
effectiveness of Auburn's
School of Education.
Auburn's doctoral program is
handicapped by two factors, limit­ed
funds and inadequate physical
facilities in some instances. Where­as
schools like Yale and Harvard
have large endowments, API is
dependent upon the state legisla­ture
for operational and expan-sional
funds. The one great phy­sical
limitation of Auburn's doc­toral
program is its library fa­cilities.
In order to stay on the list of
accredited colleges, Auburn has
had to expend large sums of
money on reference and technical
books in recent years, often at the
expense of other phases of the
overall library program. At the
present time, our library com­prises
some 175,000 volumes; but
Although accidents are caused by drivers of all
aoei, young drivers are responsible for more than
their statistical share. Only YOU can prevent traffic
accidentsl
the University of Alabama has
more than 400,000 volumes and
the Nashville colleges, with their
cooperative libraries, have access
to approximately one million
books.
Plans are underway for the con­struction
of a new library building
at Auburn, if and when the legis­lature
appropriates the money,
and perhaps they will, unless they
decide to emulate one of our sister
states whose legislature recently
decided that 10,000 additional
stadium seats was more important
than a requested Library building.

Center Slots Expected To Be Strong;
Baker Looms As All-SEC Choice
By Bill Beckwith

Auburn's center situation shouldn't be too much of a

Ed Baker labeled as a strong All-Southeastern Conference
candidate.
If Baker can achieve his pre-season rating by Jordan and
line coach Shot Senn, then he'll be the first Plainsman to
turn the trick since Travis Tidwell
wen a position in 1949 as the
"Most Valuable Player in the
SEC."
There's still two problems con­fronting
Jordan. (1) Can Baker
be converted into an A-l line­backer
to equal his superb of

and to the success of the team. He

in snapping?

TH&-F4RST problem is the seri­ous
one to the team since the
centers and f u l l b a c k s must
shoulder the linebacking burden
under the new rules. The second
is no problem because to move
Baker, Locklear would be an All-
America candidate.
A team must win a conceivable
number of games and, as under­dogs,
upset a few teams to place
a -man, or men, on the All-SEC
eleven.
Baker's teammates paid their
homage to him at the climax of
the spring quarter when they
elected him alternate captain to
work with Captain Vince Dooley.
THIS HONOR with all of its
responsibilities might easily be a
determining factor, in Baker's
standable why the Plainsmen say
"We're glad he's on our side."
Locklear, looking toward his
junior year, has already earned
two varsity letters. In 1951 he let­tered,
as a tackle and last season
added another as a linebacker.
During the spring he was worked
overtime on blocking assignments
and snapping but did not attain
the polish necessary for a snapper.
He could, and should, be ready by
the first game since he'll have a
summer in Fort Payne to prepare
himself.
Sophomore Ben Lightfoot, a
1952 letterman as a fresh line­backer,
finished third during the
spring but he's not the type to be
satisfied at that level. He has the
same problems which confront
Locklear. In high school at Lu-verne,
he was a fullback. Last

Jordan believes that his center

the potentials of Baker, Lock­lear,

Johnson Places
Fourth In 440 Dash
Don Johnson, the 440-yard
dashman from Auburn, proved to
be a real surprise Saturday night
in the NCAA track meet held at
Lincoln, Nebraska, when he broke
his own time of 48.1 and placed
fourth in the championship with
an unofficial time of 47.7.
Earlier in the month, Johnson
placed second against Thane
Baker, considered one of the top
440 yard men in the nation, at the
Central Collegiate Competitions at
Milwaukee. His time then was 48.1
seconds, which was his best up to
Saturday night.
FRI DAY E V E N I N G , at try-outs,
Johnson placed second in his
qualifying heat with a time of
49.2. Later in the night he quali­fied
for competition by placing
second with a time of 48.6.
Johnson, who has won the
Southeastern C o n f e r e n c e 440
championship for the past two
years, beat his winning time at
the Southeastern Conference meet
by a full minute. Before the NCAA
in Nebraska Saturday night, his
best times had been 48.1 at the
CCC and 48.5 in the Georgia AAU.
PREVIOUS TO the Milwaukee
meet, Johnson had had no keen
competition in the Southeastern
Conference. According to Coach
Wflbur Hutsell, Johnson improved
week by week, as the competition
increased. His time in the NCAA
upset all the previous predictions.
Johnson trailed behind the first
four men by not more than four
yards. Lea, University of Southern
California's outstanding trackman,
won the event with a record run
for him of 47.0. Second place was
Smith of Kansas University. Sor-gen
of USC placed third, and
Rogers of Oregon University fifth.
Business Honorary
Awards Two Keys
John Carlton Finch, Chipley,
Fla., and William Dean Owen, La-
Fayette, are the recipients of
Delta Sigma Pi scholarship keys.
This honor is awarded to the male
senior who, upon graduation, ranks
highest in scholarship for the en­tire
course in business administra­tion.
Owen graduated at the end of
the winter quarter and Finch at
the end of the spring quarter.
Owen also received the Ala­bama
Society of Certified Ac­countants
award. Finch and John
C. Tapscott, Auburn, were award­ed
second and third places, re­spectively.
These awards are given
to outstanding students in account­ing
based on excellence in schol­arship,

Tigers Expect Rough Grid Battles
In SEC Tilts With Mississippi Foes
By Bob O'Neill
Football is three months away; but many people are won­dering
what the Tigers' chances are for 1953. Only time will
tell the effect of outlawing the two-platoon system, but here
is how the Tigers' opponents shape up for the forthcoming
season.
Auburn's first conference game
is with the University of Missis­sippi
on October 3 in Auburn. The
Rebels, who defeated Auburn 21-
14 last year, were hit hard by
graduation, losing 25 lettermen
from the team which lost to
Georgia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.
Gone are nine starters of the of­fensive
team, which ranked first
in the SEC and ninth in the nation
in total offense last year. The
chief men lost were quarterback
Jimmy Lear and tackle Kline Gil­bert,
both All-Americans in 1952.
COACH JOHN Vaught's biggest
problem will be to find a replace­ment
for Lear in the all-import­ant
split-T quarterback slot. The
chief aspirants for the positions
are two untried sophomores, with
Houston Patton having the nod
over Eagle Day at the close of
spring practice. Finding a capable
successor to Lear will be a pre­requisite
for Ole Miss success in
1953. .
Running backs will be one of
the strong points of the-Ole Miss
eleven of next year. In Harold
Lofton, Red Muirhead, and Earl
Blair, the Rebels will possess one
of the strongest running attacks
in the conference. Topping the list
will be Lofton, who lead the team
in rushing and scoring-last year,
and ranked fifth in SEC rushing.
According to Auburn coach Buck
Bradberry, after viewing films of
the Ole Miss "M" Day game,

as well on defense?"
THE CENTER of the Rebel line
will be hard to penetrate next
year. From guard to guard in the
Ole Miss line is the most experi­enced
part of the team. Seven let­termen
will be fighting it out for
these three positions. Top men in
the group are center Ed Beatty, a
proven offensive and defensive
man, and Crawford Mims, a
speedy guard. With the exception

beneficiary in his Na­tional

Policy.
In a letter to an API official,
Walter G. Connell, cousin of the
late General, stated, "You asked
the source of the General's inter­est

his decision to go to the Canal
Zone."

team returns and it ap­pears
as if most of 1953's starting
team will come from last year's
defensive unit. Parker should be
the spark of the team and may
prove to be the greatest one man
team in the conference since the
days of Travis Tidwell.
THE CHIEF losses are fullback
Joe Fortunato and halfback Norm
Duplain in the backf ield, and cen­ter
Bo Reid and tackle Ken DeLoe
in the line. The Maroons will have
a difficult time in.locating a simi­lar
type runner to replace the
powerful Fortunato. Most of the
running chores will be handled by
Parker and Charles Caven. Park­er
is adept at passing while on the
run, either to the left or to the
right. The line will have about the
same strength as last year's, pro­viding
a capable replacement is
found for center Bo Reid. The
ends will be strong with five let-termen
returning.
