399 Students of 442 Interviewed
Favor Instructor Evaluation Here
"Are you in favor of teacher evaluation by students at
Auburn?"
That question was asked of cross sections of the student
body and of the college staff in the first summer opinion poll.
Students were interviewed by representatives from Alpha
Phi Omga service fraternity, and faculty members were con­tacted
by representatives from the Student Relations Com­mittee.
A total of 442 students, or
about 10.5 per cent of the summer
enrollment, were contacted. Of
these, 399 stated that they were in
favor of the proposed plan, 35
were opposed, and eight gave no
opinion.
Thirty-three members of the
faculty, or over nine per cent,
were interviewed on the topic. Of
this group, 22 were in favor, three
were against, six had no opinion,
and two refused to give an an­swer.
A number of persons contacted
backed up their answers with
reasons for and against. These
are representative statements of
students who were in favor of
the plan:
"If the evaluation were not
used merely to weed out the mis­fits,
it would apply pressure to
certain instructors who employ
objectionable practices and pos­sibly
influence them to improve."
"By giving students a chance to
constructively criticize anonym-mously,
honest opinions should be
obtained. F e w students have
courage enough to tell an instruc­tor
his faults personally, but all
could do so under the evaluation
plan."
"If we could get the school to
make a step like this, it would
lead to better instruction and a
more sensible attitude on the part
of some mediocre instructors."
"If the teacher has the power
to evaluate the student, then cer­tainly
the student should have
some say concerning the teacher."
"The rating should be a serious,
fair method. Perhaps a student
should have 10 or more hours
work under the professor he
evaluates. Then the administra­tion
might give the results care­ful
considration."
The majority of instructors who
were in favor of the project spe­cified
that proper material should
be used in the questionnaire and
that the evaluation should be
handled properly.
Some of the objections raised
were:
"The student could not be un­biased,
but would judge merely
on the grade he would receive in
the course."
"'The p r o f e s s o r ' s methods
might\ be entirely satisfactory to
one student and not at all for an­other."
"The student's j u d g e m e nt
would be influenced by his own
interest in the course."
"Judgement would be based on
the instructor's personality and
not ability.'"
Professors opposed to the idea
stated that students lacked the
ability to seriously give an eval­uation
in a constructive manner.
By classes, here are the numer-

Council Of Deans
Amends Procedure
For Opening Class
As a result of a request by the
Student Relations Committee the
school policy on class procedure
was amended by the Council of
Deans at a meeting on July 19.
The council cleared up points in
regards to the controversial policy
of the time when classes will be­gin
and be dismissed.
The newly adopted policy will
include the following new regu­lations:
1. The regular accepted time for
class procedure to begin shall be
ten minutes after the hour. No
student shall be counted absent or
tardy until this time.
2. If the instructor does not ap­pear
within ten minutes after the
hour, students shall be permitted
to leave the classroom without
prejudice.
3. All classes shall be dismissed
promptly on the hour and not be­fore.
These regulations are effective
immediately and will appear in
the next issue of the catalogue and
the Tiger Cub, student handbook.
Dr. David W. Mullins, chairman
of the Council of Deans, urges all
students and faculty members to
'comply with the new regulations.

run for eight nights, August 3, 4,
and 5, and the week of August
8-12.
A smash hit on Broadway for
a number of seasons, "John Loves
Mary" is internationally famous

seaboard. For those unable to see
the actual stage production, "John
Loves Mary"' has been made into
a movie.
Humorous t h r o u g h o u t , the
light-hearted play presents many
delightful situations that enable
the audience to relax and enter
into its gay spirit.
Returning for the production
will be two graduate students,
Wynn Hall and William Dickey,
who have appeared many times
with the Players while here at
Auburn.
Dickey, the player of the long­est
standing, who has been with

and Sullivan opera, "H. M. S. Pinafore", in Langdon Hall to­night
and tomorrow night. The production is scheduled to
begin at 8:15 p.m.
The opera, which will be accompanied by the Auburn
Symphony Orchestra conducted
by Edgar C. Glyde, will be open
to the p u b l i c at no admission
charge. Richard Collins, of the
music department, is _ acting as
stage manager, and Mrs. Holmes
Floyd of Opelika is play director.
The cast is made up of Julianne
Tatum as Josephine, the captain's
daughter; Betty Ann Browning, as
Little Buttercup, a Portsmouth
bumboat woman: Joe Williams,
Sir Joseph Porter; Lenore Jerne-gan,
Cousin Hebe, Sir Joseph's
first cousin; Jim Cranford, Ralph
Rackstraw, a member of the ship's
crew; Fred Harris, Dick Deadeye;
Charles Mills, Captain Corcoran,
Dave Morrill, the Boatswain, and
Robert Willingham, the Carpen­ter's
Mate.
Singing in the chorus will be the
following students:
Mary Etta Berry, Grace Boat-wright,
Shirley Braswell, Virgin­ia
Corby, Ellen Durand, Minnie
Edwards, Carolyn Ellis, Lamar
Ellis, Eleanor Ford, Eleanor Green,
Jean Haden, Frances High, Janet
Moore, Janice Myer, Barbara Neal,
Annie Laurie Smoke, Steve Blair,
Jim Duke, Wesley Ellis, Harald
Hartwig, Perry Myer, Andrew
Speare, C. S. Swift and Walter
Tatum.
The Rev. James Stirling, Epis­copal
minister, will sing tenor
with the chorus. He is the only
member of the production who is
not a student.
The opera is a burlesque upon
class distinction in the early nine­teenth
century. The plot centers
around the love affair of the cap­tain's
daughter with Ralph, pre­senting
their difficulties in at­taining
success because of the dif­ference
in their social rank. The
captain encounters the same pro­blem
in his affair with Little But­tercup.
The climax comes when Butter­cup
confesses a dark secret that
she has been hiding. Many years
previously she had been in charge
of nursing both the Captain and
Ralph, and had inadvertantly
gotten them mixed up. Her con­fession
permits the happy con­clusion
of each of the love affairs.

Chuck Bernard and Ralph Slafen
Appointed To Coach Auburn Line
Charles (Chuck) Bernard, former Ail-American center at
the University of Michigan, has been appointed head line
coach at Auburn, and Ralph Slaten, a recent graduate of
Georgia Tech, has been named assistant line mentor, accord­ing
to Earl Brown, head coach.
The appointments followed a
meeting of the Athletic Commit­tee
here Saturday, July 23.
Bernard will come to Auburn
from Houghton, Mich., where he
is on the coaching and physical
education staff at Michigan Tech,
and Slaten will come here from
his home in Raliegh, N. C
Bernard will fill a vacancy left
by the recent resignation of Wal­ter
Marshall, who returned to his
home in Philadelphia, where he
will coach at a large high school
and begin a summer boys camp
venture.
The 37-ycar old Bernard's col­legiate
football career at Ann Ar­bor
was played under the tutelage
of Harry Kipke, whose Michigan
powerhouse routed Big Ten op­ponents
consistently in the early
thirties. Bernard was a star cen­ter
for the Wolverines in 1931 and
1932 when they were deadlocked
for the Big Ten championship.
All-American Center
During his final year of 1933,
the Michigan eleven was acclaim­ed
national champions as well as
holders of the Big Ten title and
Bernard became unanimous choice
at the All-America selections for
centers. In his three varsity years,
Michigan tied two, and lost only
one of 26 games played.
After receiving his A. B. de­gree
in 1934, Bernard became a
charter member of the Chicago
Tribune All-Star team that fought
the pro Chicago Bears to a 0-0
stalemate.
Arch Ward, Tribune sports edi­tor,
has repeatedly remarked that
"Bernard is the best all-around
collegiate center to appear for the
All-Stars."
As assistant line coach, Slaten
will join the Auburn staff with the
h i g h e s t recommendations of
Georgia Tech Athletic Director
William A. Alexander and Head
Coach Bobby Dodd. Slaten enter­ed
the Atlanta school as a fresh­man
in 1941 and rose to varsity
status under Alexander the fol­lowing
season.
He performed at tackle for Bob­by
Dodd's successful elevens of
1946 and 1947. Slaten earned three
varsity letters and was a starter
in e v e r y game for the Yellow
Jackets his two final seasons. He
spent three years in the Air Forces
and was president of the T Club
his senior year at Tech.

Teacher Evaluation Wins Approval
In issues of The Plainsman for the past
two quarters there have been numerous
editorials written in favor of the suggested
plan whereby students would have an op­portunity
to use a privilege now limited to
• faculty members—that of issuing grades.
The grading system would be slightly
different. Instead of giving marks of letters
A through F, the student would fill out a
constructive criticism questionnaire about
his individual instructors. Points most
pertinent in the matter of instruction
would be emphasized, in order to show the
instructor his best points and his faults and
objectionable idiosyncrasies.
The prime object of the rating system
would be to work towards the instructor's
improvement—to present to him the points
in his method that need correction.
That this idea is accepted and desired
by students and college staff members
alike has now been proven. A cross section
of students and faculty members over­whelmingly
showed their approval in the
Instructor Must Be On Time
Until recently there had been no writ­ten
rule as to what the actual starting time
of a class should be, when a student should
be marked tardy, or at what time a class
could leave if the instructor failed to ap­pear.
There have been standards accepted
by the faculty for the most part, but a few
professors have set their own rather im­practical
policies and have stuck strictly
to them.
Now the Council of Deans has issued
regulations on these subjects. Classes are
to begin at 10 minutes after the hour, after
which time a student shall be considered
tardy or a class may leave if the instructor
has not shown up. This policy should be
accepted by students and faculty members
Let's Clean Up Our Campus
The summer quarter is a time when we
are all prone to neglect many of our ac­cepted
duties. In fact we become so lax
in carrying out many necessary tasks that
we.fail to see the evils which can occur
because of such negligence. We have
noticed one very obvious instance in which
Auburn students have failed to maintain
their usual high standards—that of giving
Auburn a clean campus.
We have noticed that a number of fra­ternity
houses, student dwellings and col­lege
housing projects have become very
lax in the upkeep of their grounds. These
eyesores are not so big that a little work
on the part of a few students would not be
sufficient to quickly eliminate them. In
most instances a little application of the
Alabama Sets The Pace
In the last six weeks the people of Ala­bama
have done a commendable job in
repulsing and reducing the power and ef­fectiveness
of Ku Klux Klan in the state.
The people of this state have shown to the
world that the scandalous, shameful, and
unpardonable acts of the Klan will no
longer be tolerated.
The Mize Act which was passed recent­ly
ripped the mask and hood from the
sinister KKK, and throughout the state,
civic groups, organizations, and news­papers
have banned together in an effort
to drive the Klan from every section of
the state. This progressive move is long
overdue. Too long have the demoralizing
actions of the Klan and its members have
kept in the background. Now many people
are seeing for the first time a clear, al­though
we fear not yet complete, picture
of the real Klan and how it operates. As a
result of this revealing action the leaders
of the Klan are racing for cover. They are
trying to break awajg, from the brother-opinion
poll printed in today's Plainsman.
There had been little doubt that students
would, as a whole, be in'favor of such a
project, but the result of the staff mem­bers'
opinions may be a surprise to some.
The poll was the first experience along
this line for most of its agents. It is ad­mittedly
not as scientific as that employed
by professionals. However, over 400 stu­dents,
or approximately 10 per cent of the
student enrollment, were contacted, which
should without a doubt indicate a repre­sentative
opinion.
It will be difficult to ignore a project
which has been endorsed by such a high
number of students and by a representa­tive
group of faculty members. If the ma*
jority opinion is considered important in
determining school policy and projects,
and we think it should be, an announce­ment
should be soon forthcoming that
Auburn has joined o t h e r progressive
schools throughout the country in adopting
the turntable idea of permitting students
to rate professors.
alike and clear up controversial points
where instructors have heretofore dis­agreed.
There is only one drawback to the new
policy. The third regulation concerns class
dismissal and says that no class shall be
dismissed before the hour is up. This is
obviously an excellent means of prevent­ing
disturbance of other classes, but may
prove disagreeable when a lecture or class-work
is completed before the hour and
students will be required to engage in
thumb-twiddling or other methods of
amusement until the bell sounds.
All in all, though, the adoption of a defi­nite
policy is a thing to be desired, and,
with the cooperation of all concerned, will
prove advantageous.
lawn mower, the hoe and paint brush can
give the college a much cleaner and more
attractive campus. Besides the neglect in
the upkeep of the grounds on the campus,
many places need better facilities for the
elimination of disease-breeding garbage.
The Plainsman would like to see some
active student organization s p o n s o r a
"clean up week". There is absolutely no
reason why we, the students of Auburn,
should fail in the upkeep of^ our campus
and its many beautiful buildings. The
Plainsman will be happy to join with some
student organization in the sponsoring of
a "clean up week". How about it honor so­cieties
and service fraternities? This is an
opportunity to help make Auburn "the
loveliest village" in the South.
hood whose ideals they chanted as "Chris­tian"
and "in the interest of all decent
Southern people". The people of Alabama
have proven that the ideals of the virtue-less
and powerless Klan are in reality
pagan and lawless.
The Plainsman has always condemned
and fought the Klan in every way possi­ble.
We believe that an overwhelming ma­jority
of the students would publicly de­nounce
the Klan. Not only have the people
of the state bitterly attacked the Klan, but
here in Auburn the City Commission and
the Auburn Ministerial Association have
passed acts which make Auburn the most
inhospitable city in Alabama to the KKK.
This action on the part of the people of
the state is highly commendable. Alabama
has set the way for the other states of the
South to join in this repudiation of the
Klan and its unlawful activities. The
Plainsman hopes that the other Southern
states will act swiftly to drive the un­pardonable
KKK from every section of the
South.

If you had me in mind when
you were doing your 'Ad Libbing'
—thanks for the publicity. If it
was someone else, then I feel left
out. But—this time or next—
please spell my name the way I
spell it. Unless it comes written
with an 'e', the public may mis­take
me for someone else!
Ad libbingly yours,

P. S. If you'd like to swap news­paper

for you to 'ad lib' about lingerie

Thanks for the fan letter, Miss

that listeners, by merely hearing

the pro­p

Ih a p s apologies

Inevertheless.

'sorry that Miss
Davis was per­sonally
offended
by our persiflage. Very probably
she is not responsible for her pro­gram's
being on the air, but
merely emcees it. But, Miss Davis,
if the shoe fits, put it on.

We have been informed that
the registration booklets for the
fall quarter will dispense with the
usage of the misleading "Professor
Staff" and will give actual names
of instructors for each course. The
only exception may be in the case
of a lack of knowledge as to
whether the instructor will be on
the staff next quarter.
Whether or not The Plainsman's
editorial had any influence in this
matter, we are glad to see it put
into effect.

Apologies are due to the Wo­men's
Athletic Association and to
the women's division of the^physi-cal
education department for an
inaccurate statement last week.
It was stated in a news article that
the Alumni Gym swimming pool
would be open to mixed couples
for the first time under the newly-installed
program on Tuesday and
Thursday nights.
The WAA afternoon co-recrea­tion
program offers swimming
from 4 to 6 on Tuesday and Thurs­day
afternoons and other varied
activities on other week day after­noons.
Due to a misunderstanding
somewhere along the line, the pool
was not open Thursday night. It
was drained during the day, too
late for announcement.

The college often receives no­tices
of the death of a relative of
students enrolled here, and im­mediately
tries to locate the stu­dent
concerned. Generally this is
little trouble. The student's regis­tration
card is checked and he is
contacted at his Auburn address
or in class.
But occasionally there is diffi­culty
in locating a student, for the
simple reason that he has failed
to fill out his registration cards
accurately. Some students don't
stop to think that there is a rea­son
for doing this. The time may
come when you are urgently
needed. If the information you
have filled in at the beginning of
the quarter (or end of the pre­vious
one) is incorrect, there may
be trouble in finding you.
Be careful to give accurate in­formation
on all of your cards
when you register for the next
quarter.
Legislature Report By Kirk Jordan
Administration forces won a
temporary victory last Tuesday
when the house voted 64 to 31 in
favor of the Benford-Buckner, 67
senator amendment. The measure
calls for one state senator from
each of Alabama's counties.
Gov. James E. Folsom was very
active in securing votes for the
passage of the
f,a m e n d m e n t .
When the vote
8 was tallied there
^Jjwere not enough
* |"ayes" for the
**f : : n e c e s s a r y 64
jvotes required to
Spass a constitu-lltional
a m e n d -
iment. The gover-
Inor at the last
minute rushed in
Jordan with ' Hep. John
White of -Perry County who be­latedly
cast the 64th vote for the
amendment.
The governor did not have as
much success in trying to stop
passage of 17 senate economy bills.
Appearing before the house rules
committee, the governor appealed
to the members not to pass the
bills out on the special calendar.
He promised also "to veto every
last one of them."
After three hours of debate the
bills were put on the house special,
calendar and sent to the clerk.
During their considerations on the
floor, administration forces of­fered
a slight resistance, but could
not keep the house from acting
on the economy measures.
The controversial Birmingham
annexation bill was given a speedy
passage by both houses. The
measures were identical and one
of them is scheduled to receive
final passage within a week. The
validity of the measure has been
questioned from several sources
and may be the basis of a law
suit.
A bill to refund to farm trac­tor
owners a part of the state
gasoline tax used in their ma­chines
passed the senate with
ease. There had been agitation for
such a measure for nearly 10
years. The bill had previously
been passed by the house and was
subject to very little debate in the
senate. Both of the legislative
bodies passed it with enough votes
to overide a possible veto by Gov­ernor
Folsom.
An amendment by Escambia's
Senator Robin Swift to exempt
fishing boats from the gasoline
tax failed to pass. Swift said he
would vote against the measure
even if his. amendment was ap­proved
but he thought the fisher­men
should be included.
In the h o u s e a bill to raise
homestead exemptions from $2,-
000 to $4,000 was passed 61 to 11.
The bill was introduced in an ef­fort
to put exemptions more in
line with present day property
values.
Rep. Willis Mcllwain of Bul­lock,
one of the authors of the
measure, said the present exemp­tion
was written in the code as
far back as 1876 when property
valuation was much lower than at
the present.

In only 20 and one-half hours
you can lose one pound dancing
a waltz.
Or you can run 43.2 miles at
a rate of 10 miles per hour and
accomplish the same thing.
If that's too strenuous, you can
try walking. But you'll have to
walk 66 miles at the rate of four
miles per hour to lose that pound
of flesh.
Of course, if none of these met­hods
appeal to you, try driving
your automobile. All you have to
do is sit behind the wheel for 68
hours and you've dropped that
pound of avoirdupois.

Just as the horses were lining

a safety pin and at the same time
she grabbed for something that

handed her the letter to read.
"So, she's eloped with that nice
looking officer," was the lady's
calm comment. "Well, I can't say
it's quite unexpected."
"But she spelt 'eloped' with two
l's!" moaned the man of learning.
Socialized Medicine Unwise
. . . . Says the LSU Summer Reveille
Another crippling blow to the
federal economy is threatening the
nation as debate fumes across the
land over the government's pro­posed
compulsory health program.
Charming himself on the one
hand with obscure vision of free-for-
all toupees, spectacles and
false teeth, the average citizen is
On the other hand wondering
whether this socialistic move is
unwise and highly extravagant.
The average citizen is, however,
overlooking the singular threat to
the national economy, the most
significant manifestation of the
health plan.
Instead, there is emphasis on the
doctor's freedom, the socialistic
character of the plan—with an
abundance of cliche-ridden ex­hortations
from the protagonists
as well as the antagonists of the
proposed plan.
Somewhere in this vast econo­mic
system of the United States
must come a halt to the tremen­dous
spending and the "give­away"
plans' in educational aid,
pensions, housing subsidies, and
agricultural subsidies.
It is roughly estimated that
about 5 per cent of the national
income is being taken by the fed­eral
and local government.
In England, as a result of her
welfare program which recently
included socialized medicine, the
price of government is 40 per cent
of the total of all incomes, the
London Economist reports.
Lamented the Economist: "Un­less
the price of government is
reduced, the British economy will
gradually strangle itself."
The British are at least count­ing
on the United States current­ly
to make up part of their capi­tal
deficiency through the Euro­pean
Recovery Program.
Now, who would make up the
deficiency in the case of the
United States?
Everybody, everywhere, wants
something for nothing out of the
United States government.
Obviously, the funds must come
1 i
from somewhere to promote all
these welfare plans. Some people
must assume that the government
has a goose that lays crates of
golden eggs daily.
Every cent that goes into the
nation's coffers must come from
the citizens' pockets.
As long as this money remains
in the citizen's pocket, he can
spend it on education, a home,
clothes or travel in whatever
manner he wishes or whenever
necessary.
With the nation's purse, he
must submit to the bureaucratic
methods of spending. For every
dollar the nation expends, it
somehow manages to pay some­one
another dollar just to do the
spending.
Such are the concomitants of a
compulsory health program. It is
expected to cost the government
$15 billion to put this plan in
operation.
What the citizen should turn
his eyes to is the fact that the
United States already has more
than 35 million people or almost
one out of every four people sub­scribing
to some private health
program such as the Red Cross or
the Blue Shield, as revealed by a
Federal Security Agency health
economist.
With these varying plans, com­petition
is keen and each group
strives to improve the range of
benefits.
With a compulsory health pro­gram,
competition would be nil.
Doctors in many cases would tend
to give hasty and inefficient care
to the patients.
In summary, the compulsory
health program is unwarranted
and should be failed not because
the American Medical Association
dislikes it, not because it is social­istic,
not because it interferes with
so-called free enterprise, but be­cause'
the government cannot af­ford
to bring itself to the brink of
bankruptcy.
One day last week, while glanc­ing
through one of the exchange
papers which come to The Plains­man
office, I was attracted by an
editorial entitled "Are We Edu­cated
Savages?'", in The Summer
Reveille of Louisiana State Uni­versity.
The article quoted Dr. Houston
Peterson, professor of philosophy
at Rutgers Uni­versity,
w h o
says "American
schools are pro­ducing
w e 11-
instructcd sav-a
g e s . " The
writer of the
L.S.U. editorial
v i o l ently de-f
e n d s today's
system of edu­cation.
Cannon Both of these
views are extreme; the truth
probably lies somewhere between
these opinions. I am prone to
agree with Dr. Peterson that "our
educational system is turning out
first-rate instruments for doing a
certain job". While most college
graduates are good engineers or
journalists or pharmacists, they
often fail to show the mark of an
educated man.
On the other hand, I do not
think that the products of our
educational system are savages.
Since we have all had to take a
little English and history along
with our professional subjects, we
are not completely devoid of cul­ture.
. Furthermore, our modern
method Qf teaching has produced
the greatest array of technical
knowledge ever assembled in one
country.
We often hear students com­plain
about having to take courses
that they feel have nothing to do
with their line of work. But the
leading educators agree that the
best education is one that offers
a broad general knowledge first,
augmented by technical training.
This is not merely theory on the
part of the teachers. Statistics
prove that the leaders in most
fields have this type of educa­tion,
either from their college
work or fyom personal study.
Bottom Of
The Barrel
By Roger McClarty
The improvement of educational
facilities and instruction should be
the concern of all of us here at
Auburn. Constant improvement
should be the goal not only of ad­ministrators,
faculty members, but
also, of the student body. With
this in mind, let's give some seri­ous
thought to the improvement of
instruction.
Like other progressive and dem­ocratic
colleges and universities
throughout the
country, Auburn
can benefit by
i n t r o d u cing a
rating scale for
instructors. Gen-
H erally speaking,
t h e evaluation
should dig below
the mastery of
subject matter
and emphasize
the organization
McClarty and presentation
of material. It should include
items concerning the attitude of
the instructor. Is he sincere? help­ful?
open minded? and courteous?
Any scale used must emphasize
the constructive approach and not
be aimed at destructive criticism.
It must also be approached in an
adult manner and be given con­siderable
thought by each of us.
Many such plans have been de­vised
before and many have died
for lack of a valid yardstick by
which to measure the results. If
a plan is allowed to become too
arbitrary, and overly critical, it
just degenerates i n t o mealy-mouthed
sputtering.
What I am trying to infer is
that any plan adopted should shy
away from the negative side and
should concern itself with one
question. WILL MY SUGGES­TION
IMPROVE INSTRUCTION?
At the conclusion of each course
the type of rating sheet could be
turned over to the dean of the
respective school. The results
would not be published, but would
be made known only to the in­structor
concerned.
If the students can convince the
administration and faculty that we
are vitally interested in this pro­gram
for the improvement of in­struction—
I feel sure considera­tion
will be given to this excellent
idea.

By MARY EMILY W/GINTON
Current fashions call for up-to-date hair styles. Why not
give those long tresses a little thought? When you get; out
the scissors, remember, it's the length and shape your hair is
cut that makes for a pretty and practical hair-do.
There are as many hair styles
as there are personality types.
Choose one that is becoming to
you. The 'cap-like" silhouette is
tapered and moulded to the head
in flat waves to keep summer­time
breezes from causing stray­ing
wisps. This coif covers the
ears and is kept strictly intact
with a big wave dipping right
down the middle of your fore­head—
full of flattering femininity;
beautiful and brief—but not boy­ish.
A pretty hairline is emphasized
when crisp short locks are whisk­ed
up on the side with a fringe of
cui-is that do a back flip on the
neck.
Short and to the point is the hair­do
combining face-framing frills
and a trimly turned nape. From a
low side part, hair is brushed for­ward
to end in a perky little bang
of a new, shorter length.
The v-shape, that solves the
problem of what to do with back
hair that just won't curl in warm
weather, is cut from iy2"-2" in
length. From a side part, the hair
is brushed into a soft wave over
the forehead. The hair is neatly
clipped and straight along the
neck to form a v-shape—cool and
refreshing for hot summer days.
This summer it's the "brief
look" for hair-does that go places
—outdoors . . . to the beach . . .
to the tennis courts . . . to picnics
. . . and even swimming. Hair
piled high in a pompadour with
fancy clips and bobby pins is defi­nitely
out this season.

Airborne Attack
Seen By Cadets
By Spud Wright
With only one more week of
training remaining, Auburn's ad­vanced
field artillery students at
Fort Bragg, N. C, have been busy
watching demonstrations, firing
carbines, and engaging in other
phases of training. The camp,
which opened on June 18, will
end July 30.
On July 19, the cadets witnessed
a demonstration of an airborne
attack by a battalion of the 82
Airborne Division. The demon­stration
included the drop from
planes of infantry and artillery
units and an attack by the in­fantry,
supported by the artillery,
and P-80 jet fighters. Also in the
mock battle was the drop a nd
pick-up of gliders.
During the past week, the stu­dents
spent 12 hours on the range
firing carbines. Included in this
training was practice in both slow
and sustained fire.
On July 28, the battery is
scheduled for an over-night pro­blem
on which they will practice
going into position under the
cover of darkness. The next day,
a final parade and review will

Students, Read Your Constitution

It Will Be Handy As A Reference
Constitution Of Associated Undergraduate Students Of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama
CONSTITUTION OF
Associated Undergraduate Stu­dents
of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute
Whereas, it seems wise that all
activities among the students of
the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
should be so organized and
conducted as to work for the bet­terment
of the student body; it is
fitting that some central organi­zation,
chosen by the student
body, have and exercise general
powers of supervision over all in­dividual
activities insofar as they
affect the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute.
In so doing, we, the students of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
propose to be governed by the
constitution and laws of the fed­eral
government and the State of
Alabama as to the right of our
student citizenship and to recog­nize
the authority of the admin­istration
as superior to our own.
To this end it is necessary that
the entire body of undergraduates
be brought together as a unit in
order that the legislature and
executive powers may be con­ferred
upon such a central organi­zation.
It is, therefore, enacted
by the undergraduate students at­tending
Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
that such an organization
be effected and to this end the
following constitution is ordained
and adopted.

to the end that the work of
the college may be made of high
value to the students, to control
ail matters which are delegated to
the student association by the
administration, to work with the
administration in all matters af­fecting
the welfare of the student

activities in order that they
may be conducted for the best

whole and to the credit of the

Only Four Leftermen Are Returning
At Tackle Posts For 1949 Season
By Jimmy Coleman
Auburn's 1949 candidates for the two tackle positions have
undergone a renovation that leaves only three familiar faces
from the 1948 squad. Among 13 hopefuls placed on the tenta­tive
varsity roster following spring practice, four are letter-men,
one a senior holdover, and the remaining eight are
sophomores. One of the lettermen
LETTERMEN AT TACKLE POSITIONS
is a converted end.
Head Coach Earl Brown and his
assistants have groomed these
men to work with the T forma­tion
this fall, and upon the speed
and precision they display, de­pends
the success of the team.
A quick glimpse at the indivi­dual
tackles, beginning at the left
side:
Considered the best tackle on
the squad last year, Max Autrey,
6-3, 210-pound product of Green­ville,
will be seeking his fourth
varsity "A" this "fall. He lettered
in 1944, served in the Air Forces,
and returned to earn two more
varsity monograms in 1947 and
1948.
Another tackle who lettered in
1945, entered the service, and re­turned
to win another award last
year, is Jim Burns, Birmingham,
who stands 6-3 and weighs 220.
Burns was All-City, All-State,
and All-Southern in his high
school days at West End.
The two leading sophomore con­tenders
on the left side of the line
are Ed "Foots" Bauer, Montgom­ery,'
a 205-pounder, and Theo
Varano, husky 200-pounder from
Media, Pa. Both were sterling per­formers
on the frosh eleven last
season.
Presently rated behind Bauer
and Varano are three other pro­mising
sophomores, Francis Pool,
LaGrange, Ga.; John Claunch,
Russellville, and Laurie Pritchett,
Griffin, Ga. With added experi­ence
these three brawny youngs­ters
could take over full-time

At the right tackle post, John
Adcock, a two-year letterman
from Gadsden, who stands 6-3 and
weighs 225, holds a slight edge
over 6-4, 215-pound Arnold Fa-gen,
a converted end from Jack­sonville,
Fla. Fagen's switch from
end was made to speed up the line
play, and he has shown up ex­tremely
well in his new position.
John (Tito) Brnilovich will be
back for his final year on the
squad. Injuries kept him out most
of last season and he has valuable
practice time while with the track
team. An injured wrist might keep
sophomore Joe Tiburzi on the
bench, but coaches are hoping this
bright prospect will be able to
play. He is a 225-pounder from
Chester, Pa.
Two other young sophomore
stars from the freshman team who
have climbed to varsity status are
Jim Kite, a 215-pound husky
from Columbus, Ga., and Harold
Harris, another sizable lad from
Lineville.

Auburn Tigers Will Meet Vanderbilt

October 29.
» Last fall the Vandy eleven
started slowly, but after suffer­ing
two defeats and a tie in their
first three encounters they caught
fire and rolled to .eight consecu­tive
victories. Included in that
long list of victims was Auburn,
to the tune of 47-0.
. Practically the entire Vandy
varsity of last year is back ex­cepting
the two fine centers,
Charley Hoover and Captain John
Clark, who graduated.
But the biggest Vanderbilt loss
was not from the team but from
the coaching staff. Head Coach
Henry "Red" Sanders and most of
his assistants pulled up their tent
posts and moved westward, to
U. C. L. A. To replace Sanders
has come Coach Henry Edwards,
and from all reports this new
coach is well qualified to fill the
shoes of the former coach.
Looking down the 1949 Vandy
roster there appears a number of
men who are familiar to Auburn
fans. In the backfield there is
Dean Davidson, the 205 pound
tailback who tore Auburn's line
to bits last year, and lightning
Lee Nalley, the nation's leading
punt returner of 1948. Other
backfield men who will parade
for the Commodores are Herb
Rich, Joe Hicks, Daryle May, Bob­by
Berry and Irvin Berry. Hicks
and May are both products of
Birmingham.
In the line there are a number
of veterans returning for action.
Bucky Curtis, Dutch Cantrell, Bill
Caldwell and John Boldt all were
standouts last year, and can be
counted on to continue their out­standing
play this fall.
From this rather premature
perusal, it looks like another ban­ner
year for Vandy. With a
scheduled that isn't the toughest
in the world, an unbeaten season
is not an impossibility.

Six Softball Loops
Filled With Action
During Week's Play
By Hank Moore
Pi Kappa Phi remained in first
place in League I by defeating
Kappa Sigma, 10 to 2, for their
fifth straight win. TKE handed
the faltering Lipscomb team their
second defeat, by winning 6 to 4.
This placed Lipscomb's, TKE ;>.nd
Kappa Sigma in a three way tie
for second place. The tie was
short-lived, however, as Pi Kap­pa
Phi blasted the Kappa Sigs,
and Alpha Gamma Rho defeated
TKE, 19 to 8, for their first win.
Sigma Chi came from behind
to b e a t Lambda Chi, 15 to 13,
and protect their undefeated rec­ord
in League II. The win was the
fourth for Sigma Chi and gave
them a two-game lead. Kappa
Alpha took over second place by
defeating PiKA, 13 to 4, and the
Flunks, 14 to 5.
But PiKA came back, handing
the luckless Lambda Chi's their
second loss of the week, 13 to 9.
In League III Theta Chi extend­ed
its winning streak to five
games by defeating ATO, 11 to 6,
and the Faculty, 5 to 1. Phi Kap­pa
Tau was defeated by Colynae,
12 to 7, in the only other league
game. The Faculty defeated the
Jaycees 27 to 7 in an exhibition
night game.
, Phi Delta Theta remained un­defeated
in League IV with a 20
to 13 win over FFA. The sur­prising
Delta Sigma Phi's broke
into the win column with two
straight wins, a 10 to 5 affair with
Sigma Pi and a 17 to 6 route of
FFA. Sigma Pi recovered enough
to beat Wesley, 10 to 9.
Sigma Nu Wins
Sigma Nu blasted the Zippers
from the undefeated ranks after
the Zippers had beaten them, 2 to
1, in a one inning replay of a
protested game. The avenging Sig­ma
Nu's went ahead in the first
and were never headed, winning
12 to 6. The Kings whipped SAE,
10 to 0, for the first seven inning
shut-out of the season. The Zip­pers
remained in first place by
beating the SPE's, 8 to 4. SPE
bounced back, defeating the ailing
SAE's, 8 to 4.
In League VI the P.E. Club beat
BSU, 18 to 7, and then dropped a
close one to the Fumblers, 8 to 7.
The T-Cees beat the Fumblers,
11 to 9, and the P.E. Club, 9 to 7,
for a perfect week.
The schedule for the follow­ing
week is:
July 27 TKE-KS, KA-LCA, TC

Coach Williamson
Is Senior Member
Of Auburn Staff
By Bob Ingram
If the 1949 Auburn Tiger foot­ball
team has a successful season,
much credit must go to the Tiger
freshman coach, John Williamson,
for he is the man responsible for
developing the first year Tigers
into varsity material.
Coach Williamson, the oldest
member of the Auburn coaching
staff, celebrated his 49th birthday
in May. He was born in Oklahoma
and did his college work at Cen­tral
College, Edmond, Oklahoma.
While at Central, Coach Wil­liamson
posted a record that
leaves little doubt as to his ath­letic
abilities. During his four
years of college he earned sixteen
letters, four each in the major
sports of football, basketball, base­ball
and track. In his senior year,
1924, he was selected to the Little
All-America football team.
After ten years of high school
coaching he returned to his alma
mater to serve as assistant foot­ball
coach and head coach in base­ball
and basketball.
When World War II broke out
he immediately volunteered and
served overseas four years with
the armed forces. It was while he
was in the service that he first
came in contact with Coach Earl
Brown, serving as end coach un­der
Brown at Dartmouth College.
In 1946 Coach Williamson join­ed
Coach Brown at Canisius Col­lege,
serving as backfield and
head swimming instructor. When
Brown came to Auburn as head
coach, Williamson was brought
along to handle the all-important
duty of freshman coach.
His first year at Auburn was a
successful one. The Baby Tigers
scored two impressive victories
over Georgia and Georgia Tech,
while losing a heart-breaker to
Alabama.
Coach Williamson has the ex-

doubles, and mixed doubles.
The first round deadline for the
intramural golf tournament will
be August 6, the second and third,
and the semifinals and finals will
be on August 13, 20, and 24 re­spectively.
All matches must be
completed by noon of the deadline
date.

Advisory Center
Handles Student
Aptitude Tests
During the past year much of
the work of the Veterans' Ad­visory
Center has concerned the
handling of aptitude tests for stu­dents
and veterans of the school
as well as off-campus veterans
from Southeastern Alabama. The
Advisory Center handled 1,469
cases during the year from July
1, 1948 to June 30, 1949. Of this
number, 952 (65%) of the cases
were Auburn students, (509 vet­erans
and 443 non-veterans) and
517 (35%) were off-campus vet­erans.
The heavy load of probationary
students during the first six
months of the year has made it
impossible until recently to offer
this counseling to students not on
probation. It is now possible for
any student who desires voluntary
counseling to make appointments
to take these aptitude tests. There
is no charge for this service.
All students on probation are
required to take the tests during
the quarter. Any person who is
on probation at the present time,
and who has not taken the tests
yet, should make an appointment
to do so immediately in order to
secure counseling before the end
of the quarter.
Appointments may be made
through the Veterans Advisory
Center located on Mell Street. W.
O. Barrow, telephone 366, is the
director.
