One dale Marian can't afford to forget is Oct. 5, Homecom­ing
at Auburn, when the Tiger team meets Furman. She will be
crowned "Miss Homecoming/' a title she won last week in a
campus-wide student election.
DATE WITH MISS HOMECOMING
Marian Gray Sings, Plays, Likes
Semi-Classics And Light Opera
By Taylor Lumpkin
When asked what was t h e g r e a t e s t thrill of h e r life, Ma­r
i a n Gray replied, "Playing a $60,000 Stradivarius at a music
convention in Chicago several years ago." (Imagine that, a
violin more expensive than Charlie McCarthy). Your Miss
Homecoming also sings so well t h a t when Dr. A r m e n t heard
t h a t she h a d won t h e election, h e asked h e r to sing "Tempta­tion"
at the Step Sing last Thurs­day
night, and she furnished an
excellent performance.
Her favorites in the disc de­partment
are semi - classics and
light opera. John Charles Thomas
is her favorite singer.
Led by 139 Votes
The brown-eyed beauty from
Atmore running on the AIO tick­et,
won the election with a 139-
vote plurality, the first time an
independent candidate has ever
won over the sororities in a
Homecoming election.
When I heard that I had a
blind date with Miss Homecom­ing,
I put on a clean shirt and
called on her at Dormitory II.
After arriving it was just a few
seconds until a 5-7, 125 pound Au­burn-
haired doll, gaily attired in
a blue plaid dress trimmed in red,
came down. She was as fresh -as
rice krispies and as gay as spring.
After seeing her, I could easily
understand why^he was elected.
Tomboy
When she splashes out on the
muddy field Oct. 5, it will be
nothing new for her because she
is a PE major. Her favorite sports
are tennis, basketball, and swim­ming.
She's darn good at tennis,
but could stand a little coaching
in swimming.
TAfe walked on iawflr^towa^far
ice cream as all people' do on
first dates, except this time the
conversation rolled smoothly.
Her favorite color, red, is
symbolic of gayity according to
psychologists, and gay she is, al­ways
smiling.
She is well read and can carry
on a conversation with anybody,
even me.
When I took her home that
night, I went away thinking of
what a wonderful Miss Home­coming
she will be. Choosing her
for the honor should make any
Auburn student proud to attend
the school which Marian Gray
will represent when Auburn plays
Furman here Oct. 5.

Backstage Glimpse Finds Players
Preparing For Tonight's Performance
By Taylor Lumpkin
It was dark. Everything was s t i l l except t h e t a l l pines
swaying away time. At t h e signal, t h r e e batteries of lights
poured colored beams on t h e s t a g e - a n d the A u b u r n Players
began their first dress rehearsal for " T h e Merchant of Ven­ice,"
to b e held in t h e A m p h i t h e a t e r tonight and t o m o r r r ow
night, beginning at 8:15..
"One of y o u r lights is a l i t t le low; r a i s e it," called Profes­sor
Peet, the director, as h e strove for sheerest perfection.
Then the heavy beam of light •
shifted, pulling a solid rod of
bugs with it.
Shylock ran onto the darkened
stage then slumped over on his
crooked cane as the lights came
on, and staggered down just al­most
to the front row of seats
and began speaking his part in
that Haas manner to an imagin­ary
audience.
Behind the Curtain
While S h y l o c k was going
through his first scene things
backstage were all in a flutter. If
you had been there you would
have heard, "Portia, where are
you? You're on next."
"Button me up, will ya?"
"Button you up hell, I'm not
buttoned up myself," said Lenny
Payne, as he struggled to get in­to
his colorful array.
"What's this, a crap game?"
"Watchit, this is the scene in
which that they throw the beer
mug."
In spite of all this confusion,
one could see the mechanics of
the production. The stage is an
ingeniously constructed two story
affair made so that it can be dis­assembled
in a short time. One
of the stages can be in use while
the other is being prepared for
the next scene, thus providing
continuous action.
Flanking the stage on either
side are large blue backdrops
forming a U with the wine col­ored
curtains of the stage in the
center. Action of the play is to
take place everywhere from the
upper stage to the grassy carpet
of the lower stage and to the con­crete
just in front of the first
row of seats.
Turning backstage we see a
flurry of objects—beards, a small
piano, a redhead, three small
caskets, countless pages of script,
two flashlights, a pencil and two
cars, and many other things that
are related to the play in some
way. Everyone is busy. Some are
studying lines, others preparing
for the scenes to follow and one
is listening for his cue to fling
open the curtain.
Tigers Meet Jackets Sept. 27
of three games the Tigers will
play in Montgomery during the
regular season.
Warm-Up Scrimmage For Tigers
Three Days Before Classes Begin
By Bill Dearman
Three days before class work begins at Auburn, t h e Au­b
u r n Tigers will clash with t h e Mississippi Southern "Yellow-j
a c k e t s " in Montgomery's Cramton Bowl. The game begins
at 8 p . m. Friday, Sept. 27.
This game has been proclaimed by many so-called ex­p
e r t s as m e r e l y a warm-up game for t h e Tigers, b u t Coach
Reed Green's boys are coming up
to the hub of the Confederacy
with, full intentions of taking
back to Hattisburg a cured Tiger
pelt to add to their collection.
The Tigers will be captained by
"Stringbean" Sam McClurkin and
it is expected that Travis Tidwell
will add much color to the game
by slinging a few aerials around.
For added attractions the Tigers
will feature the running "Bull"
Cochran and Russell, and other
fine football players will add
much action to this game.
Coaah Carl Voyles has stated
that one of the main needs of the
Tigers at present time is more ex­perience
and it is expected that
a large percentage of the Varsity
will see action in this game pro­vided
the Yellowjackets \ l o not
prove too stubborn.
Jeff Beard, business manager
of the Athletic Association, stated
that he expects a large crowd to
turn out for this game as it will
be at night. This will be the first
Tickets on Sale at Field House;
One Dollar Plus Student Ac Book
By C. W. Horton
Student tickets for the Mississippi-Southern game in Montgomery
Sept. 27 are on sale now, according to Coach Jeff Beard, business
manager of the Auburn Athletic Association. Students will be given
a student activity, book when the register and they may take the
book plus one dollar to the field house and purchase their tickets
for the game. A guest ticket may be purchased for this game for $2.50.
At the same time Coach Beard
announced that students would
not be able to purchase a guest
ticket for the Georgia game in
Columbus and the Georgia Tech
AN EDITORIAL . . .
No guest tickets for t h e Georgia' a n d Georgia Tech games.
That is t h e l a t e s t word from t h e A u b u r n Athletic Association.
The Plainsman must present the s t u d e n t ' s viewpoint but we
also can sympathize with the Athletic Association. When we
discussed this m a t t e r with Coach Jeff Beard he was v e r y co­operative
and explained t h e s i t u a t i on to us v e r y candidly.
For the Georgia game Auburn received t h e same number
of tickets it received last year despite t h e fact that t h e stu­dent
body has more than doubled in size. T h e proposed ex­pansion
of t h e Columbus stadium failed to materialize with
the result that t h e r e a r e still only t e n thousand reserved seats
in t h e s t a d i um which must be split between Auburn, Georgia,
and the stockholders of t h e Columbus stadium.
This limited seating arrangement will exist until Auburn
can complete the planned expansion of t h e s t a d i um here a nd
can play more games at home. It is hoped that this can b e
done by n e x t year.
game in Atlanta. It is hoped that
arrangements can be made so
that students may purchase one
guest ticket for the Mississippi
State game in Birmingham.
In regard to the Georgia and
Georgia Tech game, Coach Beard
said that married students may,
if they so desire, wait until the
last day of ticket sales and then
if it appears there will be a sur­plus
of tickets, the students will
be allowed to purchase a ticket
for their wives. However, Coach
Beard said frankly that he did
not believe there would be a sur­plus
of tickets and that there was
little chance of a student buying
a ticket for his wife.

Sigma Nus Burn
Mortgage on House
The Sigma Nu house down in
"A Holler" was a bee-hive of
activity last Saturday afternoon
as many alumni and guests . ar­rived
from all over Alabama and
several other states to help the
Sigma Nus celebrate.
Beta Theta chapter of Sigma
Nu congratulated one of its most
active alumni, Mr. John M. Ward,
for being elected Grant Regent of
the Sigma Nu fraternity at the
recent national convention in Chi­cago.
Much of the financial suc­cess
of Beta Theta chapter is due
to Mr. Ward's able assistance.
Another reason for the big cele­bration
was the burning of the
mortgage for the chapter house.
It is now completely paid for.
The speakers of the afternoon
were Borden Burr from Birming
ham, a past Grand Regent of the
Sigma Nu fraternity; John M.
Ward, present Grand Regent; Dr.
L. N. Duncan, president of API;
and Dr. Raymond C. Paty, presi­dent
of the University of Ala­bama.
Mr. Burr told of the progress of
the Sigma Nu fraternity during
the many years of service he has
given it.
Dr. Duncan and Dr. Paty both
expressed their appreciation of
the cooperation they had received
from the fraternities in all phases
of the schools' activities.
"Uncle Bill," Who worked for
30 years in the Sigma Nu dining
room, was introduced by Mr.
Ward.
After the speeches were made,
a barbecue dinner was served in
the house by Miss Janie and her
aides.

Page Four THE P L A I N S M AN
Oregon Finds a Way—Can't We?
A recenj Associated Press story from
Portland, Ore., tells of the establishment
of an education center just 15 minutes
from Portland which offers college courses
—complete with kitchen, bedroom, and
bath—to all comers.
The center is the idea of Dr. Stephen
Epler, veterans advisor with the Oregon
state system of higher education. Dr. Ep­ler,
a Navy veteran who couldn't find a
home in Portland, was living in nearby
Vanport, a war housing center which is
fast emptying since the death of the ship­yards.
"Plenty of housing here," thought
Eple£. "Why not bring the classes here."
And that's what the state system of high­er
education did.
Vanport center is not strictly a "college".
It's a center of extension courses which the
state can offer with a minimum of red
tape. But the courses were chosen to in­clude
the freshman and sophomore re­quirements
in the most popular courses.
The center opened this summer with 220
students. The fall budget was built around
an estimated 500 students but officials
think the enrollment will be 1500, and
they could squeeze in several thousand
more.
"Vanport is a safety valve", explained
Dr. J. F. Cramer, dean of the general ex­tension
division. "It can expand now to
take the overflow from our permanent in­stitutions,
and—when there isn't any over­flow—
shrink back out of existence." Un­like
many campuses where married stu­dents
live in tents and trailers and carry
water for blocks, Vanport has completely
furnished apartments plus nearby shop­ping
centers, school, library, hospital and
recreation halls.
We wonder why something of a similar
nature could not be set up in Alabama-.
There are several abandoned army camps
and air fields which could be utilized. The
courses could include the purely lecture
courses in the freshman and sophomore
years in every curriculum. The centers
could be under the supervision of the Uni­versity
or Auburn, or the two schools
jointly. It shouldn't be too hard to get a
faculty if they can be offered a place to
live. i ••ii *''
If memory serves us correctly, some­thing
along this line has already been sug­gested
but as yet no action is apparent.
Such a center should not be set up next
week or next month or next year. Schools
in Alabama are turning away thousands of
students. The crisis is now. Alabama can
meet the challenge if she will.
Or Maybe Dogs Have the Right of Way
Who owns the campus? Pedestrians or
riders? Walking or riding, it's a struggle
to get across the campus between periods.
We've had our say about the danger of
motor scooters on walks constructed for
pedestrians. Motor scooters still travel
along walks constructed for pedestrians.
During our safety campaign, we empha­sized
the need for driving slowly and care­fully.
Cars still park on either side of
streets too easily congested. One thing we
advocated has been acted upon. Campus
policemen have been giving tickets for in­correct
parking and driving.
It's about time pedestrians started ob­serving
a few rules and courtesies of the
road. They amble across the street at a
slow pace, apparently with the attitude,
"But you'll have to stop your car; you
don't dare hit me." This is especially an­noying
when there is a traffic light and
when it is green for the driver. At corners
where there are no stop lights, pedestrians
sometimes dart out in front of an automo­bile,
taking for granted that it can be
stopped on a dime. Or a steady stream of
students refuse to break so waiting cars
can pass.
A little more cooperation by pedestrians,
now, and both walking and riding will be
more pleasant.
Whaddaya Mean, Professor?
In the August issue of the American
Mercury, Professor Lyle Owen who has
taught in private schools and state institu­tions
in Missouri, Wisconsin, Oklahoma,
and Pennsylvania, has written up a bit of
slander against the educational system of
our colleges. He insists, among other
things, that the game of football is more
valued by most American colleges than
scholarship.
Frankly, professor, we don't believe this
charge is true; or at least, we don't believe
it is true here at Auburn. There are over
4,000 students enrolled and from this num­ber
there will be only slightly over 100
* athletes on the football roster this fall. A
high majority of these men are veterans
who are attending Auburn on the GI Bill
of Rights. Those football players who do
not pass their classroom work, like any
other students, are subject to dismissal.
Yes, professor, our director of athletics
makes no bones about stressing the im­portance
of scholarship. A player who can­not
make his grades cannot make good on
the gridiron Jiere at Auburn as several who
"struckout" last year will testify.
No, we don't think Auburn .places foot­ball
ahead of scholarship. Someone should
send you a copy of our latest bulletin
edited by the API Research Interpretation
Service. Its theme is, "You . . . have a job
to do!", and we are quite confident that
the students now attending Auburn share
just such a feeling.
The Only Way to Spend
The only way to spend a vacation is to
spend.
A vacation is a perit»d when scheduled
work or activity is suspended. The word
was derived from the Latin vacare, which
means to be vacant. Auburn students thus
will qualify. ,
Spend, a five-letter word, is sometimes
pronounced with a silent "d" making it
"spinn," which is what great-grandmother
used to do on vacations.
Some southerners are still dreaming of
the old spinning wheel and long, long ago.
This is one form of spending. Other people
are weaving parts of the past into the
present—spinning dreams for the future.
In either case, inflation.
Vacations are popular with Americans.
They spend a great deal of money, time,

The high school plants of America are
sadly lacking in adequate facilities for
vocational education. This deficiency -will
be more seriously felt on the junior col­lege
level than on that of the high school.
The increased average age of the students
in the junior college will require the con­struction
of additional vocational educa­tion
laboratories in case the college should
fall heir to the high school plants.—The
New American College.
Russia is one of the biggest customers
for printed copies of American patents, ac­cording
to reports from the U. S. Patent
Office, and placed an initial order about
a year ago for 270,000 copies—nearly a 10
years' complete file.
It has been disclosed that the Soviet
Union also is one of the best customers
for scientific and industrial reports gather­ed
and published by the U. S. Government,
and disseminated by Secretary Wallace's
Commerce Department.
Industry—as well as the farm—benefits
from soil conservation. More crops means
more income to the farmer, more revenue
to the railroad, more demand for farm ma­chinery—
which requires more steel, rub­ber
and many other materials.

On The Side With Lenny Payne
"glccKH
This and That By C.W. Horton
We would like to offer a suggestion to all persons who
intend to speak at Auburn. And we'd further like to sug­gest
that the persons responsible for bringing the speakers
to Auburn make a copy of the next few sentences and
present them to a speaker before he reaches the platform.
"The name of this institution is Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
It is more familiarly called Auburn. But please, please, do not
call it Auburn University nor Auburn Polytechnic Institute.
If you are going to speak to us,
at least take the time to learn
the name of the college."
We have heard both of these
mistakes made recently. One of
the speakers was from another
state and we didn't think too
much about his mistake. But the
other was one of the editors of
the Birmingham News. He con­ducted
a forum over the local ra­dio
station and referred all
through the broadcast to "Au­burn
Polytechnic Institute."
— * * *
Registration is getting more
difficult all the time. It looks as
though the college is falling in
with at least the last part of the
old Army-Navy slogan of "Shoot
the bull, pass the buck, and make
seven copies of everything". It
seems that some system could be
developed which would make it
unnecessary for the student to
have to supply the date of his
birth, the name of his parents
and other such information which
is not likely to change from one
quarter to the next.
We also fail to see the need of
having to fill out a religious in­formation
card everytime we reg­ister.
It would save everybody a
lot of work if only new students
had to fill one of these out. As
it i\ the various churches must
contact nearly every person who
has filled one out, regardless of
how long that person has been in
Auburn.
* * *
We also noticed among the
eight cards we filled out a student
directory card. Let's hope that
the next directory will be printed
in sufficient quantity to allow
general distribution to the stu­dents.
We have heard a number
of students complaining because
they could not get one. We fail to
see the point in publishing a di­rectory
if it is not to be distribu­ted
to the students.
* * *
'We have listed a few newspa­per
boners in the last few weeks
but in general they are not near­ly
so funny as the ones which you
can hear over the local radio sta­tion.
For instance one of the an­nouncers
recently read a news
story which said that a woman's
club "condemned" Governor Ar-nall
for his recent action in the
Georgia lynchings. Of course the
word should have been "com­mended".

A quarter's end always brings a conglomeration of events
all crowded into a few short days—election of Miss Home­coming
(Congratulations to Marion Gray, the WINNAH!); the
Glomerata-Plainsman softball game, with editor Irene catching
a game in a manner quite worthy of almost any sandlot; vari­ous
and sundry banquets; the Player's production of "The
Merchant of Venice"; cramming and these finals, followed by a
quick trip home swearing never '
to come to school in the summer
again—until next summer.
And looking back we see long,
busy days that be never beyond
recall: the President's reception;
classes, studying for some and
flunking others, always rushed
for time; rainy days and clear,
bright ones, stretching out end­lessly
beneath the torrid heat of
a sun blazoned sky; the cool, dark
shadows of evening with casual,
and not so casual, couples out for
a stroll on the campus; picnics
at Prather's and swimming at
Chewacla; watermelon feasts and
ice cream cones at a drug store
in town; Saturday night street
dances; "Julybrations" and "Old
Dutch Gardens"; the "220 West
Mag Laundry" and the Auburn
Hall "Old Maid's Ball"; cards for
Glomerata pictures, and posters
galore—There is a Glomerata in
your future! The picture man
leaves Friday. Have you had your
picture taken yet? •— and then
more cards; trips to Opelika and
nights at Lido's; boys in Alumni
and a FEW girls in the Quad­rangle;
a new Dean of Women,
and the Auburn police force pro­tecting
us in little red motor
scooters; Thursday night step
sings and Women's Convocations;
veteran's predominating in num­bers
and five boys to one girl; a
student election to eliminate Sat­urday
quizzes and a refusal by
the Council of Deans; and month­ly
meetings of student leaders at
Dr. Duncan's to discuss school
problems.
All this was Auburn in the
summer of 1946. Some of us
griped and fumed and some of
us carried on our own little pri­vate
campaigns for the establish­ment
or the abolishment of this
or that, but, all in all, life went
on much the same as ever with
exciting happenings now and
then and even more boring hap­penings
at other times. Thus we
come to the close of another
quarter, and a holiday just a few
days off. It will be wonderful to
be out of school, but it'll be just
as wonderful to come back next
fall to football games, formal
dances, and houseparties.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Sirs:
I thought you might have room
in "Letters to the Editor" for a
little poem depicting what does
not constitute an Auburnite of
the fairer sex.
An Auburnite?
This girl has never tasted
wine,
Was never taken out to dine,
Was never kissed, nor even
petted,
Has never over one boy fret­ted,
Has never lost her appetite
Because of love's imposing
fright.
She has never waited by the
telephone
For you know him to call her
home,
She never tries to avoid the
light.
She always does just what
she's told.
Oh, NO! She's not an Au­burnite.
This girl is only two years
old.
Sincerely yours,
Jack Starr

Something big on next year's
calendar: Cincinnati Symphony

everybody, and everybody will
want to go . . . Looks like post­war
is going to be better than
prewar after all.

Last weekend there was danc­ing
at the street dance, at the FFA
barn dance in Alumni Gym, and
at nightspots on the outskirts of
town . . . But last month Mary
Lee was jitterbuggin' with In­dians
up on the St. Lawrence
river . . . Another Auburn stu­dent,
Ann Hughen, lived with an
Indian family during a week of
caravaning . . . She was disap­pointed
because they didn't live
in a wigwam.

Back in 1940 a whimsical edi­torial
in The Plainsman ran some­thing
like this: "An announce­ment
over Station WAUB, Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute's ra­dio
station, on September 12,
1950:
'It was reported by the Regis­trar's
Office at API this afternoon
at 3:15 that enrollment for this
semester had reached 8,237 dur­ing
the first four days of the
registration week. This is an in­crease
of 529 over the number at
the same date last year, and a
record enrollment of almost 9000
is predicted for the year'."
The writer had preceded the
editorial with a paragraph re­minding
his readers that the writ­ings
of Verne and Wells seemed
a bit outlandish, but that they did
not turn out to be fairy tales . . .
From indications now, there's
little doubt that he was not spin­ning
a fairy tale.
Another of his predictions has
been realized partially. He wrote,
". . . for the student section of
The Greater Glomerata. The at­tention
of all men students is
called to the fact that they must
wear their tuxedo to have their
picture made. Women students
shall, as usual, wear a white eve­ning
gown."
By just looking at pictures in
the Glomerata one won't be able
to tell whether some of the girls
are wearing formals or not . . .
Like the two girls in Life maga­zine
who wore low-neck dresses.
* • * .
At the University of Oklahoma,
a buyers' strike on ice cream has
been called by the Campus Con­sumers'
council. Prices on ice
cream have risen 38 per cent
there.
* « *
The Plainsman staff yielded to
the Glomerata softball team last
Thursday. "It was most distress­ing,
and hot as hell out there,
especially in right field," says
Horton.
"It was hot; that's why I kept
going home," says Lumpkin,
"gnats were bothering me."
"That ain't why Lumpkin kept
going home," Horton says.
"Wish I had remembered it,"
says Sports Ed Dearman, his face
red. "I was studying chemistry."
The Plainsman staff was really
going to town until the clock
struck six. Then we couldn't play
at all. We wuz hungry.
The winners are to have the
seats of honor (that can mean
most anything) at our banquet
next Monday night at the Clem­ent
hotel in Opelika. They really
are expensive, that crowd. What
Prolsdorfer needs with so many
people on his staff now that the
softball game is over is a. mystery
to us.
The Tiger Rag couldn't play us
because all their staff is composed
of Plainsman staff members.

LSU Prof Will Not Allow Lovemaking In Classroom
The following news story from
the Summer Reveille of LSU,
was written by Ed de Lesseps.
Another aspect of the eternal
love triangle was witnessed by
students of a journalism report­ing
class here recently.
It all began when a student in
the class, James E. Fort, brazen­ly
made his entrance into the
classroom through a window a
few minutes after the last bell
had rung. He said that he was
late and asked the Professor, L. B.
Watt, to mark him present. Watt
acknowledged the fact but was
provoked at the student's actions.
He ordered Fort to go out through
the window and reenter through
the door, saying that "no gymnas­tics
are allowed in my class."
Sits by Coed
A few seconds later Fort, be­wildered
and breathless, entered
the room as ordered. Instead of
taking his assigned seat, he walk­ed
up to the front row and sat
next to a coed.
"What are you doing sitting
there?" asked Watt. "You know
that you have an assigned seat in
this classroom. What's the mat­ter
with you this morning? Are
you looking for trouble?"
'No Love Making'
The student replied that he
didn't know he was required to
take a particular seat. Slumping
down in his chair, Fort uncon­sciously
draped his arm around
the seat of his neighbor, Lillie
Jumonville.
"What are you doing with your
arm around that young lady's
chair?" demanded WafT, walking
over to the students. "I don't al­low
any love making in my class­es"
Fort meekly asserted that he
was a very good friend of Lillie's
and that he didn't see anything
wrong in placing his arm on the
back of her chair.
At this crucial moment another
student in the class, Evelyn
Hunter, dashed up to the scene
of action and exclaimed to Lillie,
"You can't flirt with him. He's
my man!"
'Whose Man?'
"Oh, no he's not", shouted
Lillie." Take off those glasses and
I'll show you."
Hunter, jerking off her glasses,
said, "I'll handle you in the hall."
The two jealous women left
the room, Fort and Watt trailed
behind. Other students in the
class remained seated, not know­ing
what to think of the demon­stration.
A few minutes later the four­some
returned from the hall with
beaming smiles on their faces.
Said Watt, "It was all an act,
class. Your assignment for to­morrow
is to write an eyewitness
account of what you have just
seen take place in class."
THEY AIN'T SO BIG AFTER ALL
By Bill Ivey
What's a B.M.O.C. and what
makes him so big anyway? Is it
because he is a good politician
and is well known in the higher
circles or because he has a good
scholastic and moral standing or
is it because he is well known by
average Joe Student? If the latter
is true then their ego may drop
a notch or two. In other words,
some of our B.M.O.C.'s may not
be as big a fish as they think
they are.
The other day the editor of
some unknown college news and
publicity sheet called in one of
her staff members and yelling a
few brisk orders, sent me out to
check up on her political and so­cial
standing. After roping and
hog-tying Joe Student and 24
more of his brethren and then
administering the third degree, I
extracted and tabulated their
answers. The sample was not
large; the students not bright;
they didn't know their leaders;
nor the editor either.
Of the 25 polled by this method,
12 thought the above mentioned
sheet and the editor's efforts so
punk that they had evidently suc­ceeded
in completely forgetting
her name. Fourteen thought the
editor of the college year book,
The Glomerata, worth remember­ing.
(I told the editor they knew
him only because his name sounds
so funny and quaint and that
they couldn't pronounce it right
half the time, but I'm to receive
20 lashes anyway for getting too
many biased answers.) One Joe
said he ought to remember him
because he was a fraternity bro­ther
but that he just could not
pronounce that name. (It's Starr
Prolsdorfer.)
The business manager of The
Plainsman, Jimmy Brown, rated
seven "knows" to the business
manager of the Glomerata's nine.
Those four fraternity brothers of
Byrd Lee's sure helped his cause
along.,
Seven students out of the 25
knew that Bronze Youmans is
president of the executive cabi­net
and five knew that Jack Riley
is the vice president of the same
organization. I probably should
have asked if they knew what the
executive cabinet was.
It seems that Joe Student loves
football and adheres to hero wor­ship.
Sam McClurkin, Auburn's
potential All-Something had 17
and by far the largest number of
followers. This figure might be
lower, or even much higher, if
women as well were polled.
Speaking of.v sports, T. D. Faulk,
president of the "A" Club, had 11
admirers. His picture has been
pasted in The Plainsman several
times in recent years. Doesn't
anyone read it? The head cheer
leader, Bill Cook, got seven votes.
Gentlemen, if you want to be­come
a well known B.M.O.C. stay
away from class politics. There is
just no future in it but I guess
for the work that is generally
done by the officers, it's better
than nothing at all. Of the 25
polled only two knew that Clint
Wilkinson is president of the
senior class and there were seven
seniors in the group. The two
"knows" that he received came
from the sophomore class.
Two juniors (six polled) knew
that F. M. Fuller is president of
the junior class. They said they
ought to know him because he
was a fraternity brother of theirs.
Two people knew the president
of the sophomore class and none
of those polled knew the fresh­man
chief executive. In case they
still don't know, they are Marian
Boone and Sammy Kirkland re­spectively.
In conclusion may I say this to
all those who want to become
B.M.O.C.'s, "Forget the idea, they
won't know you anyway."

Looking for the Auburn address of Jimmy Burnam and Max­well
Stewart, one finds listed "Episcopal Church." Lighted win­dows
just below the belfry show the tower that is their home.

Kitchen, Tower of Church Renfed-
What Next! Woodhouse, Mrs. Lee Says
Last spring when veterans be­gan
flocking to Auburn, college
officials asked the townspeople to
rent their guest bedrooms to stu­dents.
The response was good.
No better cooperation has been
shown than that coming from the
Episcopal Rectory- Seddon and
Byrd, sons of the Rev. and Mrs.
William Byrd Lee now share
their room with another student.
The tower of the Church of the
Innocents was rented two men,
Jimmy Burnam and Maxwell
Stewart. T h e r e still weren't
enough rooms, so the sink was
moved from the church kitchen
to make room for Frank Benning
and Scott Clemens.
Now, Mrs. Lee says, a pros­pective
student has looked at the
woodhouse with an eye toward
renting it. It probably will bi
needed, with an expected enroll­ment
of 5500 students.
The college will be able to ac­comodate
about 1500 single and
married students in college-oper­ated
housing. All facilities are
now occupied or reserved.
Included are 93 two-man deck­houses;
a temporary dormitory
for 225 men; individual cabins for
groups of male students; perma­nent
women's quadrangle for 390
girls and other dormitories and
college halls for more than 300
girls.
Of the 100 trailers in the trailer
camp, 65 are college-owned.
Seventy-four temporary apart­ments
are occupied and 51 others
are under construction. These are
for veterans and families, both
student and faculty.
For faculty will be 69 additional
family-dwelling, units on college-owned
property in Auburn. Final
plans are being drawn for build­ing
100 homes on a 53-acre plot
just outside the city limits. A pri­vate
contractor will construct
these homes for sale or rent to
faculty members. Some may be
available Jan. 1, 1947.

More Students List Farming As Jobs
Of Parents; Merchants Number High
By Frank Dyer
Various and sundry are the oc­cupations
of the parents of Au­burn
students. A bit of random
snooping disclosed which occupa­tions
are the more common in
addition to quite a few odd and
interesting jobs. As one would
guess, farming was listed, by far.
more than any other work. Then
in order came merchants, sales­men,
contractors, and railroad
employees.
Evidently business in this part
of the country must be very pros­perous
since a surprisingly large
number of parents are listed as
being retired. Then there is the
other side of the old success sto­ry.
Quite a few students said
their folks did nothing. Of course
that could mean the person is re­tired
or unemployed.
Then there were the run-of-the-mill
jobs such as policemen, house
wives, mechanics, guards, doctors,
lawyers, and textile workers. Also
listed were a few ministers, secre­taries,
barbers, carpenters, brick­layers,
and postal employees. One
undertaker and one blacksmith
were given. Engineers of all kinds
were included.
Naturally several of the more
uncommon types of work were
found in the files. One of these
was that of a lock tender. This
has to do with the maintenance of
and caring for the mechanism of
a dam. A watchmaker, hatchery
man, and parachute rigger just
about made the list complete. One
student stumped the experts by
giving his parent's Occupation as
HERCULES. Does anybody know
what that is?
Oh yes, there were a few school
teachers, too.
WANTED: A ride to Scran-ton,
Pa., or New York Cily at
the end of the quarter. If you
are going near either place and
want a passenger call me at

FOUND: One Brownie Reflex

So You Want to Know Where to Fish
By Pat Smith
Why not fish during your leis­ure
hours! A poll was taken on
this question and at least one
good positive reaction was re­ceived.
A married student claim­ed
he had just about worn that
old "nine holes of golf" alibi, and
a "let's go fishing" program could
be use successfully for the rest
of the quarter.
A question will naturally be
asked, "Where can one fish, pard-ner?"
That one is easy. There are
three lakes in the vicinity of Au­burn—
Lake Ogletree, Lake Wil-more,
and Lake Auburn. There" is
one minor detail. To fish in these
lakes, a person has to belong to
the Auburn Outing Club or the
Ogletree Outing Club. Certain
steps have to be followed to be­come
a member. 1. Prove that you
are a citizen of Auburn. 2. Recite
(verbatim ac litteration) Isaac
Walton's The Compleat Angler.
Once you have forced yourself
into the club the rest is easy sail­ing.
Older members are always
willing — nach — eager to . teach
younger members the art of ang­ling.
This will consist of the prop­er
approach to your public when
starting a fish story, the proper
pounding of fish in the story, and
the proper flourishes one makes
with a glass of-eh-lemondae while
and boarding houses for students
are already operating at peak ca­pacity,
but some construction is
in progress. Residents of both
towns are cooperating to provide
satisfactory rooms and apart­ments
for students and families.
Until construction reaches the
demand for rentals, however, the
Lee family may have to rent the
woodhouse.
telling the story. Fishing clubs
are very democratic. Poor men
and grocers alike have been seen
talking together in complete har­mony.
However, you may be the one
person-that does not like fishing
clubs. In that case you will want
to know if there is an unharness­ed
stream left in Lee County.
(Last week, while digging a well,
a farmer out-in the country tap­ped
an underground stream of
water. It formed a pond in his
back yard. He immediately fenced
it in, stuck up a sign, and retired
from farming. The sign read "Ad­mission
to ground, two dollars;
Free Fishing to Everyone.")
Occasionally, the colle'ge ex­perimental
ponds on the Birming­ham
highway are opened to the
public. A permit will cost 50
cents. There is an area called the
"Big Swamp" in the vicinity of
Youngblood's store on the^Mont-gomery
highway. Fairly good
fishing is to be had there. Perch,
bream, catfish, and Phew! may be
caught there if proper bait is
used. Phew! were so named by
the local nativer because of the
offensive odor they emit when
caught.
. A steel tape is an essential item
on a fishing trip around Auburn.
The owner of the land bordering
the stream will make you toss
back all fish that measure .under
one foot, two inches. The county
forbids the keeping of fish under
one foot two inches. The state
absolutely forbids keeping any­thing
under 12 inches. This in­cludes
the entire fish family with
the exception of Phew! One can
keep all Phews! one catches. One
is generally enough.

Veterans looking for a room don't mind the opaque canvas
enclosing three sides of the "Porch House" on North College.
Furnishings are simple but comfortable, and one side can be
rolled up for ventilation.—Photo by Lewis Arnold.
Canvas-Enclosed Room Suggests Name
But Porch House Named For Ex-Landlady
The "Porch House" on North
College gets its name from the
former landlady, Mrs. L. L. Porch,
though one might easily get the
idea the name came from the
canvas-enclosed porch. When the
porch bedroom is' lighted, one
can see from the outside wheth­er
anyone is inside.
When Mrs. Porch gave up the
house to move near her daughter
in Birmingham, three veterans
were afraid they'd have to look
for a new place to live if a new
manager took over. So they de­cided
to manage it themselves.
Now 21 people, including two
married couples, live in the
house, which is a former Baptist
parsonage.
Veterans who are managing the
house are J. W. Holloway, Slo-comb,
freshman in aero engineer­ing;
Fred Hartzog, Dothan, fresh­man
in aero engineering; and
Fred's brother, Coy, freshman in
electrical engineering. Occupants
of the house include three bar­bers,
a painter, and students in
agriculture, engineering, and ed­ucation
with classes from fresh­man
to graduate school. There
are veterans of Pacific and Euro­pean
theaters attending school
under Public Laws 16 and 316.
Two were there before the war.
The house is "swabbed down"
(Holloway is a Navy veteran)
once a week and swept daily by
the managers.
The property is owned by the.
Baptist Church. Eventually, ac­cording
to plans, the Porch House
will be converted into a social
center. The roomers, however,
have been told they will not be
moved until another place is
available.

OTS-AGR In Softball Play-Off
Norris And Renfroe In Pitchers Duel
This afternoon at five the AGRs, winners of League II,
and OTS, winners of League I, will meet in the third of the
five-game championship series.
The game promises to be a pitcher's duel, with, Harris
hurling for the OTS team and Renfroe carrying the mound
duties for the AGRs.
At the present time OTS boasts
six men who are batting over the
three hundred mark. Manager
Byrd leads the list with a seasons
record of 486. "Jeep" Dill is fol­lowing
closely on his manager's
heels by sporting a 456 average
for the season. Harris, who has
gone the route in a l l eleven OTS
games, is another heavy hitter for
the OTS team with a season's
average of 340.
Renfroe has been the main­stay
of the AGR softball team in
cinching the League II pennant.
At the end of the regular season
he leads the League II pitchers
with a record of eleven wins and
one loss.
Main worry of the opposing
pitchers during the season has
been the heavy hitting of James
Ray, who is currently leading in
the AGR hitting department.
OTS placed two men on the
Fraternity All-Star line up. Shee-hy,
who is currently batting 320,
played first base and Lynn, cur­rently
batting 340, held down the
keystone position. Renfroe was
the only man AGR placed on the
All-Star team.
AGR Cinches League II
With Renfroe handling the
mound duties Thursday after­noon
the AGRs cinched first
place in League II by licking
the KAs 4 to 0.
Alpha Gamma Rho took the
pennant by coping eleven games
while losing only three. The AGR
team got off to a shaky start by
losing the first three games but
once they found their way into
the win column no one was able
to keep them out.
The same afternoon the Phi
Kappa Tau team played error­less
ball to defeat the Sigma Chis
3 to 0. The Phi Kappa Taus
managed to bunch five hits to
drive in all three runs in one
inning. Wise went the route for
the winning team while Norris
was charged with the Loss for
the Sigma Chis.

A blocking back last year, Leon (Bull) Cochran received the
ball on kickoff of last season's game with Miami and drove 77-
yards. Several plays later he scored, and this year Coach Carl
Voyles is grooming Bull for fullback position. Weighing 200 and
a former Woodlawn High star of Birmingham, this hefty gridder
is expected to go places for the Tigers.

By Lenny Payne
The much wronged Glomerata
staff, maliciously referred to as
the Graft Gang or other such in­sulting
terms by certain person­ages
apparently jealous of its
prestige, proved its worth last
Thursday afternoon by trounc­ing
a gang of Plainsman players,
who were suddenly added to the
Plainsman staff for the occasion,
in a hotly contested softball game;
the final score being 11-7.
The game commenced with the
Plainsman at bat; Starr Prols-dorfer
was pitching and Byrd Lee
was catching for the Glomerata.
Other members of the Glomer-ata's
star team were Richard
O'Cain on first, Junius Macon on
second, Harlan Hunter on third,
Seddon Lee at short stop, Wil­liams
playing short field, Bill
Flanagan in left field, Dickie
Clark holding down the center
field, and Ray Martin (of Plains­man
fame) in right field.
Glomerata Can Have Payne
After making three runs the
Plainsman took the field with
Jimmy Brown pitching and Irene
Long catching. In addition to
these Charlie Smith, Jimmy
Davis, Ralph Patterson, Harry
Klene, Bob McRee, Jimmy Cole-

man, Frank Dyer, and C. W.
Horton were scattered around the
field in various awkward posi­tions.
Prolsdorfer, who apparently
had been paid by the Plainsman
staff to throw the game, was tak­en
out of the mound after a few
innings and Byrd Lee took his
place. From then on the Glomer­ata
team showed its true colors
and Prolsdorfer, now catching,
proved his true worth. Both
teams played with a commenda­ble
lack of the principles of good
sportsmanship and are to be
highly praised for the same, as
it. made a very interesting game.
One to Third, too
Irene Long surprisingly came
through with a strong peg that
actually reached first on several
occasions, and quite outdid her­self
in the last inning by bring­ing
in a j u n and later making one
herself.
The umpire has asked me to
withhold his name and I want
to say that the rumor that my
keeping score was responsible for
the Glomerata's victory is ab­solutely
false as I am completely
impartial as can be seen by this
article.
Ramsey Quits Post
At Auburn To Enter
Pro Football Ranks
Buster Ramsey resigned Satur­day
as assistant line coach at Au­burn
and said he had decided
upon a professional football ca­reer.
An All-American guard at Wil­liam
and Mary in 1942, Ramsey
has offers from clubs in both the
All-American a n d N a t i o n a l
Leagues and said he would sign
a contract after playing in the
All-Star game at Chicago late
this month. He indicated that he
had not yet decided upon which
offer to take.
Ramsey came here last Spring
after two years of service foot­ball
with the Bainbridge, Md.,
Navy eleven.

Scout" motorcycle. Excellent

Fast and shifty, that's little Eddie Mizerany, former Ramsay
High prep satellite from Birmingham, who probably had more
spunk per pound than any- man on the Auburn squad. Easy to
coach, this 153-pound wingback made three touchdowns in on*
game for the Auburn B's last season and gained his passport to
the varsity squad.
With Vic Sa
The All-Star game Thursday
afternoon was an excellent ex­ample
of truly good sportsman­ship.
It is a pity that manager's
of certain fraternity softball'
teams do not take this lesson to
heart and insist that the players
on their teams change some of
their ideas of true sportsmanship.
Unfortunately Bill Dearman
was also a big loser in this game.
Next time, Bill, be sure and bet
on the winning team and save
yourself a large coke.
Manager Byrd Lee was feeling
pretty cocky about his Glomerata
softball team Thursday afternoon
but with Lumpkin in t he lineup,
the Plainsman staff is a cinch to
win. I feel sure that the Plains­man
players would make many
more trips around the bases if at
each base there was a keg full of
foaming suds. Lumpkin and
Coleman swear they would get
a homer each time up.
* * *
From all indications it looks as
if the SAEs and ATOs have the
tennis teams that will end up in
tournament play. Unless a dark-horse
upsets the dope, Joe Rollins
and Arthur Bolton are going to
be hard to beat. The ATOs are be­ing
pretty quiet about their team
but you probably will head much
more about them in the future.

Clerical Assistance
Free To Veterans
Veterans making application
for terminal leave pay should not
pay anyone for assistance in com­pleting
the forms, the Alabama
bama State Department of Vet­erans
Affairs warned today.
"We have county service com­missioners
in each county seat
whose job it is to help all vet­erans
in matters of this nature
without charge," said C. C. Hor-ton,
department director. "In ad­dition,
most veterans organiza­tions
in the state will set up in­formation
centers."
The local County Service Com­missioner,
W. V. Lord, has his
office over the Home Furniture
Company on Avenue A in Ope­lika.
Mr. Lord said today that
forms probably would not arrive
for 45 days but that when they
did his office would assist the
veterans in making their claims.
