Asks For Agency Will Fight Profiteers ] Honor Fraternity Plans To Con- 1 trol Sale Of Railroad Tickets For Auburn Game V? Seeking to prevent profiteering, Kappa Sigma Kappa, local spirit fraternity, decided at a meeting last week to attempt to get the agency to sell railroad tickets to Birmingham for the Auburn game. The action was taken after it was learned that several students on the campus were seeking to get such an ag?ency for profit. If the fraternity is successful in its move, the sale will be on a non-profit basis. The move was taken contingent upon the success of the present efforts to get a special rate for those going to the game. Last year a special five dollar excursion was run and a number of sup- c porters went down to the game. It is j hoped to get an excursion at or near this rate again this year but definite an- f nouncement will not be made until after action by the Interstate Commerce Commission. At the same meeting it was decided that the fraternity should take over the distribution and sale of the "Beat Hell Out Of Furman" stickcrs in anticipation of the game Saturday one week. g (Continued on Page 5; Column 4) ' Credit Given ( H.
