in its history in the
forthcoming year."

The Plainsman stands for . . .
An efficient educator and admin­istrator
to serve as Auburn's new
president.
Adoption of the name Auburn Uni­versity
in place of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. '
Institution of a cut system based
on scholastic averages.

'Alabama State' Has Proponents
In Campaign For Name-Changing
" . . Some change should be made in
t h e name . . . Why not Alabama Tech or
, Alabama State?"
These were the words of W. W. Dailey
which appeared in the "Letters to the
Editor" column of The Plainsman (Aug. 4).
Mr. Dailey's salient reason for suggesting
these names over A u b u r n University
is that, since A u b u r n is a state-supported
institution, it should, as at present, carry
the name of the state.
I n an effort to sound out opinions from
different people, The Plainsman contacted
a top A u b u r n administrative official on t he
question. This official admitted Auburn
was actually in a "university status" but
did not favor a change of any kind since,
as he put it—"People at the University of
' A l a b a m a might be offended." .;
| The Plainsman checked this possibility
w i t h a phone call to Dr. J o h n M. Gallalee,
University president. In part, the conver­sation
went like this: "The Plainsman is
advocating changing t h e name of t h e school
h e r e ."
"Yes . . . what to . . . Alabama State"
or something like that?
"No, sir . . . A u b u r n Uuiversity . . . and
we wondered if you could tell us if you
t h i n k University (of Alabama) officials
would be offended in any way?"
The answer Dr. Gallalee gave Was a
good-natured chuckle followed by—','Well
. . . you newspapermen . . . I'll have to
give you the 'No Comment' . . . yes . . .
'No comment' . . . anything I would say
either way could be construed as meddling
in the internal affairs of Alabama Poly­technic
I n s t i t u t e ."
So, there is Dr. Gallalee's reaction to t he
current movement for advocating chang­ing
API to AU.
The change of name, naturally, would
have to be done by the state legislature.
Auburn is a state-supported college. Would
t h e legislature, with its influential Tusca­loosa
graduates, ever agree to conferring
our rightful title of "University" to us?
I t is doubtful.
They might agree on "Alabama State
College" or a similar name. One proponent
of this v e r y name points out such instances
as North Carolina State and her sister
i n s t i t u t i on of t h e University of N o r t h Caro­lina,
along with many others.
The Plainsman is persistent that the
name should be Auburn University over
all others—but if this cannot be achieved
soon—a shorter name should be adopted
t h a t would be more fitting to the school
t h a n the cumbersome, polysyllabic ALA­BAMA
POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.
Young Artists' Model
An Auburn housewife hired a young
colored boy to mow her lawn. The job
had not been completed at quitting time
and the housewife asked the boy if he
could come back the next day.
"No mam, I works for the college," was
his reply. i
"For the college," she said. "What on
e a r t h do you do for the college?"
"Oh, I sits and dey draws me!"
Northern Politicians Receive
Stinging Blow From Columnist
Insincere Northern politicians were re­cently
dealt a stinging blow between the
eyes by a columnist for the New York
Sun. George Sokolsky, in writing about
"Civil Rights," takes side with the South
in denouncing certain Northern politicians
for what they are. Parts of his attack are
reprinted below:
"By what is euphemistically called "Ci­vil
Rights" in this campaign is meant the
Negro question. And let us call it that
from here on. Since the War Between the
States the Negro question has been a
major American problem inadequately
discussed and considered except by South­erners
who had to live with it and in re­cent
years by the Communists and their
fellow travelers and competing liberals
who hope to garner votes out of it.
"Under our Constitution and within the
sanctions of moral law, the legal equality
of Negroes and whites cannot be ques­tioned.
Historically and .traditionally the
question is not so simple either in the
North or the South. Those Northern Demo­crats
who make ^uch a terrific to-do about
racial discrimination in the South are
generally liars—they will not live in Negro
areas in their cities; they do not entertain
Negroes in their homes; they do not hire
Negro secretaries or clerks, except politi­cal
ones which is part of the vote-getting
technic; they do not encourage association
between their children and Negro chil­dren.
"In a word, none of them practices in
their private lives what they preach for
others. It is a simple matter for a resident
of Minnesota or Wisconsin to grow power­fully
indignant about a problem that does
not face him but that does face a citizen
of Alabama and Mississippi. Minnesota's
Negro population, according to the 1940
census, was 9,928; Wisconsin's 12,158; Ala­bama's
983,290; Mississippi's, 1,074,478.
"The Northerners met tfie problems by
segregating Negroes into ghettos. Make
no mistake about that: In the North the
Negro is as segregated as in the South, in
spite of the lies Northern politicians tell.
Harlem is a Negro ghetto; the Bedford
district of Chicago is a Negro ghetto. The
technic employed in New York is for the
whites to clear" out as soon as the Negro
moves in. If you want to see that process
at work you can study it, if you are so in­clined,
in the East Bronx of New York. . .
"The anxiety of the Northern Democrats
to be recorded as voting for the civil rights
plank of the Democratic platform, after a
voice vote had passed it, their insistence
upon Senator Barkley's announcement of
how they voted was for the consumption
of the Northern Negro voter. They iear
that if they do not get the vote, Wallace,
who represents Soviet racial concepts,
will. . . ."
Texas is the only state of the Union
that may divide itself into, five separate
states.
Something New In Pep Rallies
In a story written by 'Jack Simms in to­day's
Plainsman, there is the following
statement: "Something new in the line of
pep rallies will be tried this year."
Remembering last year, our first re­action
is: "Oh yeah!"

The Common Man By Tom Sellers
"Oh, I'm so glad to know you, Mr..., what was the name

I am at a reception. The big, hearty man crushing my fin­gers

Why Not Get Grades The Good
Way—Stop Apple-Polishing Now
Call it brown-nosing, apple-polishing,
boot-licking or what you will—to us it's
still the most nauseating form of Glass
room chicanery we know of. We wonder
if the followers of this evil cult belong t(%
• t h a t same family of pests Who kept us
squirming in the second grade and fol­lowed
us through high school. At any rate,
it must be h u m a n n a t u r e t h a t a few should
t r y to gain a degree (not an education) by
bewitching their instructors.
There are several underhanded methods
favored by the species Auburnia Brown-osia,
a few of which we will mention here:
(1) Approaching the instructor periodi­cally
after classes to demonstrate an
ersatz interest in the course; (2) showing
h im every clipping from newspapers and
magazines pertaining to the subject; (3)
responding to every question the instruc­tor
asks, and to some he doesn't ask; (4)
overtly flirting with the instructor, and
being helplessly feminine (this last method
is very common among the female of the
species.) \
A distinction must be drawn between
brown-nosing and an eagerness to learn.
A person who is genuinely eager is not to
be condemned. It doesn't take long to dis­tinguish
a real interest in the course from
r a n k opportunism.
Brown-nosing can very easily arouse
t h e contempt of the whole class, and if
t h e instructor is hoodwinked, the class
morale is usually lowered greatly.
"Sellers," I answer simply.
Now he nods to the sedate
old gentleman next in line. "Mr.
Sellers," he booms, "Meet Mr.
North."
"What do you do, Mr. North?"
I ask.
"This'll k i ll
you, Summers,
but I teach 'His-t
o r y of t he
East,'" where-
I upon he cackles
loudly and slaps
his thigh. I, too,
cackle and slap
my thigh.
He peers at
"P m e s t r a n g e ­ly.
"Haven't you
got something to
say, Mr. Summers?"
I -square my enormous padded
shoulders and begin. "Well, once
in a while I write a column for
the Plainsman. It's called. . ."
"Oh, how very interesting.
You'll tell me about it sometime,
won't you? By the way, Summers,
have you met Miss Pomegranate?"
Miss Pomegranate is a shy,
gentle old lady, with the halcyon
smile of better years on her face.
"Don't you just love receptions,
Mr. Sampson? Oh, I just dearly
love receptions. I was just saying
this morning how I love recep­tions,
especially for you precious
graduating seniors. Oh, I just
think you are precious!" As I
hastily move away she is still
gushing and burbling to herself.
By now I am thoroughly arous-
1 ed. With an evil smirk on my fea­tures
I approach a beaming ma­tron
of dubious age and say,
"How do you do? My grandfather
died yesterday."
"Oh, how delightful. I know
you're so proud of him!" She
peers at me strangely. "But
haven't you got something else
to say, young man?"
I square my shoulders and be­gin.
"Well, once in a while I
write a column for the Plains­man.
It's called. . ."
Three ladies converge on us,
and my words are lost in a babble
of sound. . ."That dress makes
her look 10 years older. . .1 saw
her out with Professor M. at the
Casino Saturday night, and do
you know. . .dear, dear Hattie,
we must get the recipe for these
cookies. . .and did you know
that Professor M's wife is suing
for a divorce, and all those chil­dren.
. .Oh my, I've spilled punch
on my dress, and I just bought it
last week. . .yes, and she's gain­ed
25.pounds in the past year. . .
did you know that horrid instruc­tor
flunked George twice in cal­culus.
. .?"
A pile driver slams me between
the shoulder blades, and I am
stunned. Through bleary eyes I
see the big, hearty man with the
tornado voice. "By the way, Simp-kins,
haven't you got something
to say?"
I square my aching shoulders
and begin. "Well, once in a while
I write a column for the Plains­man.
It's called 'The Common
Man.' I am going home tonight
and write my swan song. If my
readers have enjoyed reading the
column half as much as I have
enjoyed writing it, I shall be hap­py.
There's not much to say about
Auburn that they all don't feel—
away down deep in their hearts.
Just like me, they want to see
the school prosper, and I know it
will. To 'Skipper' Coleman, a
great editor; to Bill Anderson, a
great business manager; and to
the Plainsman staff, student body
faculty, and administration, I
want to express my lifelong
friendship. That's all I've got to
say, and now that I've said it,
I'm glad."
FILE THIRTEEN By The
Editor
File 13—an old army term for "Wasiebaskei'
"It's Been Lots of Fun"
The time has come" when I, like
all other Plainsman editors who
have preceded me, must cover my
typewriter, throw away my copy
pencil, straighten my desk, and
turn vthe whole affair over to
fresher hands and minds.'
It is with this issue of The
Plainsman that I leave you. For
two years we have attempted
through the editorial columns to
praise where praise was deserved,
to censure where censure would
help, to advocate
what we thought
was worthy, to
interpret what
we felt needed
i n t e rpretation.
Throughout the
remainder of the
paper we have
attempted to give
you the best and
most representa­tive
newspaper
Coleman possible.
Quite happily, I can say that
I was only called "on the car­pet"
once during my two years
as editor—and when I got there
Dr. Arment wasn't half as angry
as I thought he'd be.
But in many things I have fail­ed.
Often the paper you read
every Wednesday could have been
improved, but always in the
bounds of time and space and
human nature, I have done my
best. I have made mistakes, huge
ones; I have made errors, impor­tant
ones; I have made omissions,
unnecessary ones. Lhave trodden
on toes • that deserved no trod-ding,
and I have left toes untrod­den
that deserved the tread of a
steamroller. But these have al­ways
been errors of judgment,
not of motive.
I owe thanks to those who have
criticized, and to those who have
offered suggestions and words of
encouragement. I particularly
want to thank the students, facul­ty
members, and the News Bureau
who have given us news items
every week; words of thanks also
go to the Student Affairs office,
v and especially the Publications
Board for its excellent .coopera­tion
and support, and to Neil.
Davis and men of the Lee Coun­ty
Bulletin where The Plainsman
is printed. And ho amount of
praise could show my apprecia­tion
for the loyal support of staff
associates and columnists.
Now as I leave, I can truth­fully
say, "It's been lots of fun."
It has been a world of pleasure
to work on The Plainsman. I hate
to leave it, for, in spite of all the
time it has subtracted from my
regular curriculum, it has been a
vital part of my college career.
And so, with a strange little
tightening of the throat, and with
a sigh that has only relief invit, I
bid you farewell. It is with a little
unwarranted pride that I go, for
now as I pass along I can't seem
to remember as vividly the dreary
nights, the long, laborious even­ings,
the big mistakes, the ghastly
errors. I can only remember the
pleasure thai came when the pres­ses
started rolling and the paper
came flopping out—only the thrill
of accomplishment that I always
felt when I hurriedly looked
through each completed page.
So, forgive me for my errors,
try to forget my blunders, and
remember only the things that I
may have done that pleased you.
Back in the summer of 1946 I
was browsing through the school
publications of the 40-odd col­leges
who mail exchanges to The
Plainsman office. Editor Irene
Long did a good job of keeping
the exchanges filed only no one
took the time to survey the papers
so the potential exchange items
went unnoticed. Irene suggested a
weekly column; so we conscrip­ted
Phil Bookman for the job.
Phil carried on for a term then
gave up journalism via The
Plainsman in favor of the Auburn
Veterinarian. Then I salvaged
stale gags for the column until
my brother, Irv, got ambitious.
One thing we've learned by
writing this stick is to respect
The Plainsman more. Most other
university rags are superflous- in
news of local interest which
makes dull reading to anyone off
their campus. Many school papers
such as Purdue and LSU are
dailies and carry syndicated stuff
like Drew Pearson.
So in all around comparison
with other school papers, The.
Plainsman ranks high in read­ability,
general interest by good
features, and layouts that catch
a reader's eye. Some of the items
on the editorial page have been
quoted in Coronet, Reader's Di­gest,
and The American Weekly
to name a few.
As for this column . . . we try
to reprint gags that are original
to Auburn. But a college joke,
no matter where it originates,
eventually makes the rounds to
all school publications in the
country. Jokes we print here ori­ginally
in the Miami Hurricane
may be reprinted in the ex­change
column of the Villanovan
and vice-versa. It's a friendly sort
of plagiarism.
Here are some puns that have
appeared in the Exchange Post.

A Dash of Bitters By Tm Forreslet
For years the South has been
deluged with solutions to the
"Negro Problem". Strangely,
these solutions have come, almost
without exception, from neigh­boring
states to the north. It
seems that the northern states are
inhabited with a race of superior
beings who are wonderfully en­dowed
by nature with an under­standing
that rivals the combined
wisdom of Confucius and Christ.
Unwilling to let the South work
out its own problems, these great
ones have wept, cursed, threat­ened,
explained, and predicted in
print, ove rthe air, through every
medium at their disposal about
the failure of the South to accord
equal rights to everyone. They
have succeeded in ignoring the
injustices committed in their own
cities and states and focusing all
their attention on another sec­tion
of the country. After all, it's
easier to talk about what should
be done a thousand miles away
than it is to do the same thing in
your own backyard.
I, for one, am getting just a
little bit tired of this constant
stream of advice which flows so
freely and so steadily. Such out­right
hypocrisy is disgusting.
Granted that a problem does exist
here, by no stretch of the imagi­nation
can anyone say that the
same problem does not exist else­where—
yes, even in the • North.
Anyone who sincerely wants to
do something constructive in the
way of improving human rela­tions
can find ample opportunity
without looking across state lilies,
whether he is in Atlanta or New
York, Mississippi or Massachu­setts.
Ray Springle, a reporter for

tour of the South and began writ­ing
what Time magazine called
". . .an account of man's inhu­manity

for enduring it. . ." What
makes Springle's story unusual is
the angle from which he wrote it.
Before leaving on his Southern
tour he shaved his pate and sunne

sunned himself for three weeks.
Then he traveled the South as a

Nothing Here By Graham Mc™*
This is the last issue of the
Plainsman for the summer quar­ter.
Between this issue and the
first of the fall, many things will
have taken place—seniors will
have graduated, some of us will
have flunked one or more courses,
some of you will have maintained
your 4.0 average, and the first
football game of the season will
have been played. Although now
it seems a little odd to be speak­ing
of football and "War Eagles",
it won't be long actually.
Last year most of us were sur­prised
at the bad omen indicated
by the result of the opening game.
This year spirits will be high and
support will be behind the new
coaching staff. If pep and~spirit
in the crowd is any help to the -
team, them Tigers should have
one victory behind them when
classes start. We're all watching
anxiously for t h a t opening
tangle.
* * *
And speaking of football, I heard
one student say the other day
that he was going to the Field
House immediately to get in line
for tickets to the Alabama game!
During the week it is hard to
find a parking place in front of
many of the fraternity houses
and rooming houses, but on the
week end they go begging. With
so many' students leaving town
for the week end, little recreation
or social diversion" is offered.
The only regular event is the
street dance, which fills in well
on Friday night. It may be a little
late in the quarter to mention it,
but why couldn't the swimming
pool be open during certain hours
on week ends? The only purpose
it serves is for PE classes, intra­mural
meets, varsity practice,
and WAA recreation night—ill
during the week. It wouldn't take
much extra effort or cost to ar­range
to leave it open on week
ends to provide a little monotony
break.

"Children, if you have 10 po­tatoes
and have to divide them
between three persons, ' how
would you do it?"
"Mash 'em."
"Jack, what is the formula for

"HIJKLMNO."

"Brevity is the soul of wit."
—Alexander Pope.
FDR's critics used to heckle the
New Deal about the various "al­phabet
soup" a'gencies set up in
Washington, but names like PWA,
NRA, AAA, and FHA are part of
a widespread time-saving ten--
dency. Do housewives buy Duz
instead of Ivory Flakes because
it is easier to say?—do people go
to see the movie "Rope" instead
of "The Sin Of Harold Diddle-bock"
because the marquee reads
more easily? It'-s not very likely,
but it's possible. "Gone With
The Wind" became GWTW in
Hollywood, and there were the
' less prominent DITS (Duel In
The Sim), BYOL (Best Years Of
Our Lives), and ATAHT (All This
And Heaven Too).
• To extend this principle a
little further (and somewhat ab­surdly),
a newspaper column
needs a concise title. Any text
set up on the linotype carries the
first two words of its tentative
headline for the purpose of iden­tification,
so a short name is
easily referred to by the men in
the pressroom, the make-up edi­tor,
and also by readers. "File
13" is the shortest title on this
page, with the exception of the
one over this column. The short-1
est complete column-title and by­line
(author's name) I can ima­gine
would be "PI. . .by Al". Pi
refers to scrambled type, as any
crossword fan will tell you, and
not necessarily just to fraterni­ties
or sororities.
In answer to an overwhelming
demand from nobody at all, I'll
tell you what CHIPS means. It
does not mean anything about
chips on my shoulders—I ain't
mad at nobody. It could mean
something about poker chips—
my ante (but not anti-)—or it
could have a homespun, jes'-a-whittlin'
meaning. English people
call French-fry potatoes Chips,
and American potato chips taste
good too, along with pork chops,
hush puppies, do nuts and coffee.
CHIPS stands for Carved Hewn
Incised Prose Style. I'm verbose
(that's a Scince & Lit word for
wordy), and everything I write
must be whittled down to scale.
(Thomas Wolfe's daddy was a
tombstone-cutter.) After I write
irt my natural, old-fashioned, re­dundant
manner I have to go
through and pare off extra adjec­tives
and adverbs (I'm avoiding
that verb hack). Brevity is my
problem. Often after I-carve copy
down to size, all I have left is
Chips. CHIPS is what you get.
Just Thinking
By Jack Simms
Well, another quarter is draw­ing
to a close and you are look­ing
at the last edition of the
Plainsman for this summer. This
edition means something very
special to at least one person—
Jimmy Coleman. This is the last
issue of the Plaisman to be print­ed
under the editorship of Jimmy
- and it brings to an end a job
that was started seven quarters
ago. Only those of us who worked
With "The Skipper" know how
much hard work and sweat he
put into each issue and only a
few of us are familiar with the
stumbling blocks that he had t
face in getting the paper on the
streets each week. Jimmy will
long be remembered for the fine
job he has done and we sincerely
hope that he will continue to
hang around the office. /
* * [•
The number of faculty mem­bers
who will resign at the end
of this quarter will make one o
the largest lists ever to go
through the business office. Why?
We have been told that the fa­culty
members have recently
been granted a raise. This sounds
good until we look more carefully.
We find that the raise just
brought us up to the; salary ave­rage
of the nation.
Included in this average are the
salaries of such schools as Po-dunk,
Woodpecker U, Hickville,^
and others of similar distinction.
The large schools of the Midwest
and even some of the major col­leges
of the South have been hir­ing
our faculty members right off
our campus. They offer salaries
that the teacher can ill afford to
pass up, especially after taking
into consideraion the possibiliies
of a raise at Auburn.
Several departments here haVe
managed to get some top caliber
men on their respective staffs.
How long will Auburn be able to
hold them? That's anyone's guess,
but unless raises and the chance
for advancement come with at
least semi-regularity, it won't be
long.

SAYS YELL LEADER KENDRICK
By Jacfc Simms
Head Cheerleander Jimmy
Kendrick announced Friday that
plans are well underway to give
Auburn a bigger and better
Cheering section and demonstra­tion
at football games this fall.
Among other things, the number
of cheerleaders will be increased,
placards will be Used in the
cheering section, and 10 pep ral­lies
will be held at the Stadium.
The cheering squad, which is
now composed Of three boys and
one girl, will be increased to five
boys and three girls. Kendrick
stated that the need for mbre
cheerleaders has been a pressing
problem of kite because of the
increase in enrollment.
Tryouts for new cheerleaders
Will be held at the Homecoming
Pep Rally 6ct. 1 and selections
will be made by a student and
faculty committee. Two boys and
two girls will be chosen and the
contestants will be judged on
crowd appeal, personality, agility,
etc. Anyone desiring to try-out as
cheerleader is urged to contact
Kendrick at the ATO house
Practice will began this after­noon
at 4 in the gym. The date
which fall, practice will Begin
will be announced later.
Something new in the line of
pep rallies will be tried this
year. The first.rally of the sea­son
will be held in the stadium
Thursday Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. At
this time the incoming freshmen
will be welcomed by student
leaders and faculty.
After the rats get their first
taste of the Auburn Spirit, they
will be entertained at the annual
Freshman Reception at the Presi­dent's
Mansion. Refreshments and
a dance on the terrace will high­light
the entertainment. All up­per
classmen are urged to attend
the pep rally in order to give the
rats a rousing welcome.

to install a placard section in the
Auburn cheering section this fall.
The University of Alabama head
cheerleader has consented to work
with Auburn cheerleaders and to
give Auburn the system that was
used by University students last
year. It is hoped that the placards
will be ready for use a few weeks
before the Alabama game so that
Auburn's cheering section - will
be able to put on a good show
at the Birmingham contest.-

Article By Auburn
Professor To Appear
In History Journal
Included in the Tennessee His­torical
Quarterly, June, 1948, is
ah article by Dr. Weymouth T.
Jordan, Researcfi Professor of
History. The article is 'Diary of
George Washington Campbell,
American Minister to Russia,
1818-1820." The Diary indicates
particularly Russia's attitude to­ward
the United States' efforts to
establish approval of the princi­ples
included shortly afterwards
in the famous Monroe Doctrine.
Dr. Jordan's conclusion is that
Russia attempted in numerous
ways to block European accept­ance
of the Doctrine while it was
in the making.
George Washington Campbell
was.a Tennessee Lawyer, judge,
statesman, and planter, as well
as a diplomat. He was the first
westerner to hold a position in a
presidential cabinet. Dr. Jordan
considers Campbell to have been
the most active Weserner office
holder in the early Jeffersonian
era and next to Henry Clay the
most prominent national political
figure from the West in the Per­iod
from 1803 to about 1818. A bio­graphy
of Campbell has been
written and will appear in print in
1949 or 1950.
Previous articles by Dr. Jordan
have appeared in The Journal of
Mississippi History, East Tennes­see

have seen moving pictures at the
last two meetings of this organi­zation.
On June 19, a picture en­titled
"Progress in Steam" was
shown. This film depicted the ad­vancements
that have been made
in the steam generation industry
from the firs boiler manufacured
up to the latest development in
boiler design. At the last meeting,
the U. S. Department of Agri­culture
supplied a film enitled
"Lubrication". This was a por­trayal
of the manufacture and
usage of lubricating oil.
An effort has been made to se­cure
additional pictures to be
shown at the meetings during the

Langdon Hall Remains As An Honored Symbol Of The Auburn Spirit H T ^^
Building Has Been Used For Classes
Longer Than Any Other On Campus
Auburn's favorite classroom building, old Langdon Hall,
was named for Colonel Charles Langdon, a Mobile mayor of
the last century. Col. Langdon, onetime Alabama secretary
of state, was also a three-term member of the state legisla­ture,
editor of the old "Mobile Advertiser" newspaper, and a
trustee of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Auburn
Through the years thousands of
Auburn students have gathered
in Langdon Hall for their class-time,
playtime, and "in-between-time"
activities. For Auburn's
long-skirted freshman .coeds of
1948 and their escorts in bright
orange "rat caps", it's milk-shakes
and jitterbugging to a jukebox
tune at Langdon Hall's ground-floor
Student Center. Only a
generation ago, grave young
misses in middy blouses and high-top
shoes used to rneet in this
same room for classes in the in­tricacies
of cooking, dressmaking,
and the housewife's other arts.
Scores of new classroom build­ings
and recreation centers may
appear on the oak-groved campus,

rite still gets the nod as an assem­bly
hall, .because of its proximity
to? the center of things and its
time-honored atmosphere. For
the occasion of the first operatic
production staged by Auburn's
fast-growing music department
last spring, the actors and sing­ers
presented "La Traviata" from
the stage of Langdon Hall, to ca­pacity
crowds of their fellow stur-dents
and faculty members. Con­cert
and lecture attractions "from
out-of-town" have always drawn
big audiences at Langdon Hall.
Oldtime Auburnites tell the story
about turn-of-the-century ROTC
cadets who had to attend these
performances in drill formation.
Once a cadet officer who was not
a music-lover marched his men
into the hall as per instructions,
but for lack of further orders, he
also marched the men straight
through and back outside, where
he dismissed them.
The school which today is uni­versally
known as Auburn and is
officially known as te Alabama
Polytechnic Institute is the succes­sor
to the East Alabama Male
College (1859-1862; 1866-1872). In
its earliest days the college was
housed in a "Main Building"
which is known today as Sam-ford
Hall, the oldest building on
the Auburn campus. This Metho­dist-
established college had to
close its doors between the years
of 1862 and 1866 because of the
exigencies' of war. During these
years all the large buildings in
Auburn were used as hospitals
for Confederate soldiers.
Under great hardships the col­lege
reopened in 1866 and almost
immediately plans were made to
donate the school's facilities to
the state for use as a state land-grant
college. These plans were
concluded and in 1872 the East
Alabama Male College of the Me­thodist
Conference of Alabama
became the Agricultural and Me­chanical-
College of Alabama. •

propriation by the state legisla­ture
included funds for the erec­tion
of Langdon Hall on the cam­pus
at Auburn. Plans for the new
auditorium were drawn by W. D.
Wood, an alumnus of the class of
'81. A frame building located
across Magnolia Street from the
Methodist Church of Auburn was
torn down and r e b u i l t on
the campus near the "Main Build­ing".
This rebuilt structure had
been used as an auditorium by
the Female College of Auburn.
The "Main Building" burned in
1887, and classes were conducted
in temporary buildings, mainly in
Langdon Hall. When Samford
Hall was rebuilt, it was in the
architectural style of the time,
which was known as Italian Re­naissance.
In 1892 Langdon Hall
acquired a nine-inch brick veneer
exterior and a Greek-style porti­co.
At this time the upper floor
of Langdon was used as an audito­rium
and the ground floor held the
engineering departments, which
were among the first in - the
South. In the interim between
the burning of the jjld main build­ing
and the erection of the new
biulding, Langdon Hall housed
the college. The "Auburn Alum­nus"
alumni publication, tells of
.collegiate; high-jinks during this
period:
"An unsuccessful petition by
the members of the class of '91
to get Langdon Hall painted sug-_
gested to the dignified seniors the
alternative of daubing the build­ing
with splotches of paint taken
from the home of General Lane,
a short time, before commence­ment.
The thought was to force j
the authorities to "dress it up"
for the important occasion.
"An enterprising senior climbed
to the front gable and in large
letters painted the word PANTE
across the space. This humiliating
evidence of lack of scholarship
of one of the members of the
class was allowed to remain to
greet the eyes of students and
visitors through the commence­ment
season." ("Auburn Alum­nus,"
for September, 1932).

in the field of engineer­ing
expanded, they grew too

ground-floor quarters. The pro­visions
of the Morrill Land-Grant
Act, appropriations by the Ala­bama
legislature, and endow­ments
by private citizens pro­vided
for the construction of
many new buildings on the Au­burn
campus. In 1899, the legisla­ture
approved changing the name
to the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
which is the school's pre­sent
official title.
After 1921, when Auburn's first
electric dynamo and light plant
were moved out of the ground
floor area of Langdon, the home
economics department used the
space for classrooms until 1923,
when it was taken over by the
YMCA. In 1933, the basement
was remodeled for a students
activity hall and YMCA assembly
hall. Since the cessation of col­legiate
YMCA activities, the low­er
floor has been used by stu­dents
as a lounge and recreation
hall.
Langdon Hall has been kused
longer as a classroom than has
any other building on the campus.
1948's Auburn students, who
gathered in the lecture hall every
day between the hours of eight
and f o u r , attend classes in
such subjects as psychology,
which was not even heard of in
Grandfather's day. This venerable
old building is a fitting head­quarters
for the legendary "Au­burn
Spirit". Annual meetings of
the alumni association are held
inside, its portrait-lined walls, as
are afternoon rehearsals of the
Auburn Band, long time southern
favorite. In a tiny loft above the
auditorium the band instruments
are stored, and the honored posi­tion
here is occupied by "Jenny
Lind," a little old much-handled
horn on which Auburn Bandsmen
for many years have learned the
fundamentals of music.
During football season students
rally 'round one evening each
week just before the big game
for a special display of "that Au­burn
Spirit." The traditional
metting place is Langdon Hall,
where the band members get into
formation and accompany the
cheerleaders and other students
for a parade through Auburn and
out to the stadium.
For years on end the audito­rium
has been used, by the Au­burn
Players, student thespian
group, for the staging of their
dramatic productions, and also
for the hilarious annual Skit
Nights, featuring fraternity and
sorority amateur talent. The end
of World War II brought to Au­burn
the fourth group of return­ed
veteran students in the school's
history, and this group formed
the Auburn Veterans Association,
a local organization. The AVA
has staged variety shows in Lang­don
for the benefit of such causes
as the Red Cross, and among its
activities have been efforts along
the lines of stressing national
citizenship and participation in
UN, the world governmental or­ganization.
At Alabama's last
election, the AVA played an inte­gral
part in helping "turn out the
vote" around Auburn.
In these crowded-college years,
many students commute to school
in car pools and chartered buses,
During the day, a good part of
'these students make their head­quarters
in Student Center, cam­pus
rendezvous point, where they
may play cards, catch last-minute
glances .at their b o o k s be­fore
classtime. H o m e Eco­nomics
students hold forth in a
slightly, different sort of labora­tory
than did those of twenty-odd
years ago—today's young
ladies get practical experience in
food handling by operating a
snack bar which boasts a brand-new
soda fountain.
Immediately under the wide
concrete steps there is an incon­spicuous
little cubby-hole which
houses- the activities of the cam­pus
photographers, who furnish
the informal and landscape pic­tures
for Auburn's needs. The
steps of Langdon Hall, located as
they are at the crossroads of the
campus, are a' favorite place to
sit and observe the passing scene.
"If all the watercolor, char­coal,
pencil lead, and oil paint
which Auburn art students have
used to portray Langdon Hall,"
say cynical observers, without
originality "were daubed on the
walls of the building it would
surely be a mess!" The pictur­esque
old structure has long been
a favorite subject for campus
landscapist. A watercolor por­trait
of Langdon by Professor
Roy H. Staples, of Auburn's art
department, graced the Glome-rata
cover one year, and succes­sive
years see ambitious art stu­dents
hard at work, sitting under
the tall oak trees, while the do­cile
native squirrels race around
them.
Symphony orchestra concerts,
recitals by music students, can­tatas
and oratorios sung by choirs
of students, instructors, and
townspeople, and rehearsals of
countless little jazz music groups
—all these have their hours on
the stage at Langdon. During the

Bernard Blake made a report

These two classes will receive

One of the projects planned for
the fall quarter is the publication

at recent business meetings of the
Engineer's Council.
A banquet for the chapter will'

as an Auburn landmark of ma­jor
importance.

Mysterious Writer, Who Calls Himself
'Nimrod', Offers House-Buying Advice
By Nimrod
In view of the fact that the
housing situation in Auburn is a
matter of great local concern and
probably is a fair index to the
situation throughout the country,
it may not' be inappropriate to
make a few suggestions to local
victims as to their conduct in se­curing
living quarters. These re­marks
will be addresse'd/to pros­pective
buyers—not to those san-
'guine individuals who still think
is is possible to rent an apart­ment.
Since the ancient rule of caveat
emptor has become meaningless
in these parlous days and since
the buyer of real estate today is
certainly not going to get his
money's worth, he is entitled to
be royally rooked while he is
about it. In order to insure that
his fleecing is a thorough and
competent job, there are certain
things he should know.
In the first place, the buyer
-should note carefully the design
of the house he is going to buy.
There should be no closets, or at
least only very small ones, and
none of the closets should have
doors. Further, what doors there
are should be so arranged that
when they are open, all other
passageways in the house are ef­fectively
blocked. The corners of
the house should be acute or ob­lique—
riot right angles,, and the
floor should have a perceptible
slant.
If there is a heating plant of
any kind, any connection between
the heater and flue should he
concidental and the buyer should
be entitled to an abatement of
<jhe purchase price if the gas
fumes do not escape into his iwalls
and roof, thereby inducing the
ceiling to drip1, crack, sag, or
otherwise change its appearance,
texture or odor. ,
The plaster should have been
mixed before breakfast, applied
before lunch, and painted before
dinner; then it will certainly
crumble upon being touched, and
the children will have little dif­ficulty
in inscribing upon the
walls their mysterious little hei-roglyphics
in bas-relief.
As for landscaping, every pur­chaser
is entitled to have, stand­ing
water in what he hopes will
someday be his front lawn. For
shrubbery, the most completely
obnoxious combination is a mix­ture
of poison ivy, blackberry
bushes, and honeysuckle, for
these shrubs cannot be beaten
for hardiness and durability.-
If all prospective buyers ob­serve
a few precautions, they can
be absolutely sure that they are
truly victims of the present
housing squeeze and that their
letters to their congressman will
blaze with the right degree of
righteous indignation.
If any of this sounds like trea­son
to builders, contractors, and
architects, let them make the
most of it..

Dick. "I can't even find a place

Training As Chaplain of Students
By Irene Long
With 11 years experience in
chaplainship to students, the Rev.

as rector of the Church of the
Holy Innocents is a new exper­ience!
He is thinking out plans
for ministering to townspeople
and providing a student program
within the church.
His work—which includes talk­ing
with students who drop by—
is done in the book-lined study.
Relics of his service days are a

Dr. Ivey Gets
Education Post
Dr. John E. Ivey, Jr., an Au­burn
graduate, has been named
director of research for a plan
for regional education for 14
Southern states.
He has resigned from the facul­ty
of the University of North
Carolina. His headquarters will be
in Atlanta.
Working with a $100,000 bud­get,
the 30-year-old professor
will have two major jobs:
To draft plans for setting up
regional courses and research fa-cililties
quickly in fields where
there is an immediate need.
To prepare a long-range study
on which the South can build a
system of cooperative institutions
designed to give Southern youths
the technical training they need
without leaving the South for
educations and never bringing
their talents home again.
Dr. Ivey will have a budget of

shelf. The phone rang and two of
his four children were invited to
go someplace. Another small boy,
a curly-headed blond, passed
quietly through the study.
In a bit of Scottish accent, Mr.
Stirling talked about Nashville,
where he lived before coming to
Auburn this month. He/talked of
the work of college students at
the University of Florida, where
he was student chaplain before
going to Nashville, and of his
years as a chaplain in the Navy.
He talked of bombs, students, the
church.
"I feel that college should be
preparation for life, and that the
church should prepare them for
participation in the church after
they graduate," he said. "And I
think they can do that by. con­ducting
services of their own
while in college."
In his early college days, the
rector said, he didn't go to church
much partly because he didn't
feel the church was meeting stu­dent
needs. That's one reason he
chose working with students. A

Professor Crafts
Physics Professor
Writes Own Book
For Sophomores
If sophomore physics students
don't like their text book next
quarter—they'd better not com­plain
to the professor!
Arthur G. Crafts, assistant pro­fessor
of physics has just com­pleted
his own text book, "A
Short Course In Physics" and he'll
use it for the first.time in Sep­tember
on his sophomore students.
The professor began work on
his book in September, 1946, at
the suggestion of Dr. Fred Alli­son,
head of the physics depart­ment.
Hey completed the book in
June and it has been printed in
lithoprint f o r m by Edwards
Brothers in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Five hundred copies have already
been printed of the 300-page
text.
"Without student help I could
never have finished the book,"
Professor Crafts said, explaining
that students wives did all of his
typing, and that John M. Bridges,
an architecture student from Bes­semer,
did the illustrations.
Originally from Atlanta, Prof.
Crafts came to Auburn in De­cember,
1944. He has been a mem­ber
of the faculty at Leheigh Uni­versity
in Bethlehem, Pa., and at
the University of North Carolina.
He is a graduate of the University
of Georgia.
Math Club Will Elect
Officers At Last Meet
The Math Club will hold its
last meeting of the quarter to­morrow
night at 7:15 p.m. in
Broun 209. There will be a gen­eral
discussion and election of of­ficers
for next quarter. Students
and faculty members are wel­come.
Theological Seminary convinced
him this was his field.
Although he has been offered
choice parishes where working
with college students was not a
part of his work, he preferred to
remain a student chaplain. "
"The local group is well orga­nized,
and I don't have to edu­cate
them to what he program
is about," he observed.
"Being a Chrisian means work­ing
with others", he said. "The
very word, Christian* denotes
that the individual is working
with Christ. The church—with
all its evils, because it is run by
men—is the best place I know of
for Christians to work."
It was while serving as assis­tant
rector of St. Paul's Church
Chattanooga, Tenn., that he was
married. It was also in Chatt­anooga
that Mr. Stirling learned to
play "Foggy Dew" on a friend's
guitar—a four stringed instru­ment.
That was so easy he de­cided
he'd like to have one so he
could entertain friends with folk
songs. Some students in Nash­ville
gave him the guitar that's
in his office now.
"But it has six strings;" la­mented
Mr. Stirling, "and I
can't play a thing on it.
"The war was over before I
left the states," said Mr. Stirling,
recalling his experience as a
Navy Chaplain. "Then everybody
was thinking about getting home."
He smiled and added, "I was
about the worst one. The kids
usually left my office feeling sor/-
ry for me." ,
Upon his return Mr. Stirling
went to Nashville where he was
Episcopal student chaplain at he
Student Center which serves stu­dents
from all colleges in the
city. .
Mr. Stirling, who came from
Scotland to the U. S. with his
parents at the age of 12r received
his A. B. degree from Hobart
College, N.Y., ad the bachelor
of divinity from Virginia Theo­logical
Seminary. He was ordain­ed
in 1937.
