Modern Sculpture
Is Exhibit Theme
The School of Architecture is
now holding its first exhibit of
the summer. It is being held at the
Art Gallery of the School of Ar­chitecture
and will be open to
visitors until July 2.
This exhibit, entitled "Modern
Sculpture and How It Is Made,"
conists of three phases. The first
is "Sculpture Lesson," a photo­graphic
exhibit prepared by the
editors of Life magazine. Its sub­title
is "William Sorach demon­strates
the basic steps in model­ing
clay and casting".
The second section shows photo­graphs
of sculpture from the
Museum of Modern Art. This in­cludes
works of Maillol, Despiau,
Lachaise, Epstein, Archipenko and
other famous artists. These de­monstrate
the major influences on
contemporary developments, mov­ing
from cubism, futurism, and
constructivism to mobiles and mo­dern
abstract sculpture.
Original pieces of sculpture by
students of the Auburn art de­partment
are being used to em­bellish
the photographs on display.
The School of Architecture ex­tends
a cordial invitation to all
visitors.

Miss Mary Martin, College Librarian,
Retires After 37 Years of Service
After 37 years of service to Auburn, Miss Mary Martin,
college librarian, retired at the end of last quarter. Miss
Martin, who started her long career of service to Auburn
students and faculty members on August 15, 1912, has super­vised
the growth of the college library for over a quarter of
a century-
Miss Martin arrived in Auburn
when the town itself was a mere
village. A graduate of Winthrop
College in her native state of
South Carolina, Miss Martin came
here as an assistant to the late
Prof. J. R. Rutland, who combined
duties of librarian and head of the
English department. At that time
there were about 15,000 books in
the library, which overcrowded
the small building.
In 1918 Miss Martin was named
college librarian. The first branch
library on the campus was estab­lished
in 1920 when the agricul­ture
department set up -a library
for the agricultural students on
the campus. Under the guidance
of Miss Martin, there are now six
branch libraries on the campus.
The library which once had only
one assistant now employs a total
of 18.
In addition to her careful* super­vision
of the growth of the college
library system, Miss Martin has
taken an active part in the acti­vities
of the town and in profes­sional
work in the state. She is

a charter member of the Auburn
Woman's Club. At a meeting of
the club,last quarter she was made
a lifetime member.
"Miss Mary", as she was known
to all her friends and close associ­ates,
was also a member of the
Daughters of the American Revo­lution,
the Campus Club, and the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union. She was twice president of
the Alabama Library Association
and was very instrumental in the
promotion of the county public
library system in Alabama.
In addition to her club and civic .
activities, Miss Martin was one of
the most active members of the
local Presbyterian Church. She
took a leading part in the auxi­liary
and other church work.
Miss Martin will return to her
native South Carolina where she
will make her home at Easley.

those outings in the "widerness"
is blue jeans topped with a roomy
shirt in bold gingham check, to
wear in or out as you please.
Jeans, which seem to last forever,
are a wise investment for your
budget.
Peddle pushers—the new short
slacks—in fashion's "fabulous fa­bric",
corduroy, make a handsome
outfit, or, if you're more color
conscious, try stripped "pushers"
with harmonizing skirt for a
colorful combination.
For those extra hot ' days,
straight cuffed shorts, well-tailor­ed
in gabardine, with matching
T-shirt (or halter for added cool­ness)
will keep you "cool as a
cucumber". Ideal for hiking, ten­nis,
or just plain basking in the
sun, these flattering "briefies"
come in such an assortment of
colors and styles, you'll want
several for your wardrobe.
Or, if you're more on the mod­est
side, a crisp cotton sun-dress
will be perfect for your playtime
wear. Without the bolero, your
bared shoulders can catch plenty
of sun rays.
So, with your new sports ap­parel,
you should have lots of fun
while you get plenty of sun!

Incorporated Alumni Association
Is Thriving Auburn Organization
By Luther Smith

filing system, the Auburn Alumni Association, an- incorpora­ted
organization drawing its membership from former stu­dents
and graduates of Auburn, is a thriving part of the col-
. Mil.),. II • . ^
lege.
Auburn has been graduating
students for more than 75 conse­cutive'
years, and official alumni
societies closely related to the
college have, existed for almost
that length of time. Said the 1897
Glomerata: 'Since the organization
of the college . . . the Association
has flourished, and has been of
\ great service and inspiration to
the institution."
School records indicate that the
first actual incorporation of the
Alumni Association took place in
1394. Dr. Charles C.Thach, then
professor of English and political
economy, was soon thereafter
elected president of this organized
body of alumni.

1945, when a constitution was ap­proved
and by-laws adopted. It
was then that the Association was
incorporated as the official orga­nization
of former students and
graduates of Auburn.
Provisions were made for an
executive secretary—a full-time
director of Alumni Affairs with no
duties other than those pertaining
to the Alumni Association. Alumni
decided that their governing body
should be an executive committee,
presided over by the president of
the Association.
Frank M. Malone, elected on
Homecoming Day of last year, is
the 1948-49 Alumni Association
president. The executive commit­tee,
also elected at Homecoming,
consists of Cleburne. A. Basore, '14,

Draughon Fights Politics
The determination of President Ralph
B. Draughon to remove Auburn from the
realms of politics and to unify all branches
of the institution continues to make not­able
progress. Since his appointment as
acting president of Auburn in 1947, Presi­dent
Draughon has done a remarkable job
as the administrator of the college. The
modest and reserved president of Auburn
has demonstrated on numerous occasions
his strong force of character and educa­tional
vision. His untiring work towards
the unification of all branches of the in­stitution;
his guidance in the expansion of
the campus building program; his deter­mination
to make Auburn non-partisan in
state politics, and his continued efforts to
obtain the funds necessary for the exis­tence
of Auburn give President Draugh­on
an un-paralleled record during his ad­ministration.
,
The Montgomery Advertiser recently
had the following to say about Auburn's
progressive executive: "A mild-mannered,
unprepossessing man, Dr. Ralph Draugh­on
. . . does not sell for what he's worth."
The Advertiser continues, "An example of
that is the calm, purposeful way in which
he has undertaken to dismantle the polit­ical
machine of the Alabama Extension
Service." In the editorial, The Advertiser
points out that the extension service has
been "one of the most powerful political
machines in the state" and that all candi­dates
have sought the support of the ser­vice.
The Advertiser maintains that the
Let A School Grade Profs
During the past two quarters The
Plainsman has carried several informa­tive
editorials and articles about the ad­vantages
and possibilities of grading pro­fessors
at Auburn. These articles have
been published with the hope of arousing
interest among the students and faculty on
this timely subject. It is understood now
that the administration is interested in de­vising
some system by which Auburn
students may grade their professors.
One of the major problems in the estab­lishment
of the system here is the con­flicting
views of the heads of the several
schools of the college. Since some agree­ment
must be reached by all of the school
executives we would like to suggest that
the administration adopt a plan for grading
The Klan Must Go
Columnist John Temple Graves recent­ly
asserted in an address to a citizens'
meeting in Birmingham:
"The Ku Klux Klan must be dissolved.
The sole reason the South ever needed a
Klan was to cope with the Negro question,
and today we don't need a Klan for that
problem."
However, the odd thing about the many
recent cross-burnings, floggings, and other
forms of maltreatment by mobs of robed
and hooded men that have had such exten­sive
effects (Representative Celler's order
for a full-scale inquiry by a House civil
rights subcommittee, and the state legisla­ture's
action on an anti-masking bill) is
that few of these actions have been direct­ed
at members of the Negro race. Few of
the victims have been able to give a reason
for actions against them.
What purpose, then, is the Klan serving
at all? What are the objects of the recent
actions? Klan officials, always maintaining
that their hooded group functions to up­hold
white supremacy, flatly deny that
Five Meetings Held Here
Auburn has been the scene of several
outstanding meetings and conventions dur­ing
the month of June. As a result of the
five state and national meetings held on
the campus, over 1500 visitors have been
brought here during the month.
The first of these meetings was the
annual high school football clinic held on
June 6-8 with Coach Earl Brown in charge.
After the football clinic the Southeastern
Veterinary Association held its twenty-fifth
meeting here. Other important con­claves
held at the "Loveliest Village of
The Plains" were the annual Garden Clubs
of Alabama convention; the Alabama
meeting of the Future Farmers of Amer­ica,
and the national Fisheries Training
heads, of Auburn had the power of politi­cal
bosses and used this power in fights
to obtain funds for the institution. How­ever,
times have changed and Auburn has
continued to grow and branch out, and no
longer should be made a "political foot­ball"
for treacherous and greedy politi­cians
in the state.
Upon the recommendations of Dr.
Draughon at the last meeting of the Board
of Trustees, the Board passed a strong "no
politics" resolution for the all agencies
and employees of Auburn. The resolution
in main said: "Each employee of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute is specifi­cally
exempt from any obligation or com­pulsion
to support any candidate or cause
when the support of such candidate or
cause may be urged or suggested by any
other employee of the institution, or divi­sion,
school or department thereof." This
is a bold assertion of the intentions of
President Draughon to remove Auburn
from the dingy and corrupt arena of state
politics.
The Plainsman wishes to endorse Dr.
Draughon in his fight to wrench Auburn
and its divisions from politics and to offer
him our support. We believe that through
his purposeful thinking and his strong and
devoted loyalty to Auburn, President
Draughon will be able to carry out his
constructive program. As the Advertiser
concludes "We have no doubt what ever
that this wise man means business and
that he has done well by the institution he
heads."
instructors and put it into practice in one
of the ten schools of the college. If one
school is allowed to develop a plan for the
grading of professors, The Plainsman be­lieves
that the leaders of the other schools
of the college would move quickly to adopt
a permanent plan for the entire college.
We sincerely hope that the administra­tion
will give proper attention to the rat­ing
of professors and will thoroughly in­vestigate
the practicability of such a plan
at Auburn. Improved quality of teaching
would be advantageous to the student and
instructor. Teaching is the primary respon­sibility
of our faculty members and sug­gestions
for improvements in instruction
should be welcomed by any member of the
faculty.
Klansmen have had anything to do with
the incidents of late, that other groups are
taking advantage of the Klan's unpopular
position in the public eye so as to incite
public anger great enough to demand the
termination of the "brotherhood." How­ever,
in each instance, victims of the out­rages
have verified that the hoodlums'
costumes have been those of the Klan.
The Plainsman agrees with Mr. Graves
that the Klan has outlived its original pur­pose.
Too, the Klan has undergone many
changes in method, ideals, and member­ship
since the original virtuous organiza­tion
was founded by many Southern lead­ers
from necessity and for protection.
The Plainsman hopes that the Klan is
on the way out. Certainly it is politically
impotent; legislators have no fear in back­ing
measures directly aimed against that
group. We hope that these measures, strict
enforcement of.new bills passed and of
pertinent standing laws, public opinion
and public action will succeed in dissolving
the ignoble Klan once and for all.

School, sponsored by the Auburn experi­ment
station.
Through these meetings many impor­tant
visitors have been on the Auburn cam­pus
during the month. The contacts and
impressions which were made by these
guests of the college can be of lasting con­sequence
to the school. Plans are being
made for holding state conventions of se­veral
high school organizations here dur­ing
the coming year. In addition to these
meetings, the state high school track meet
and possibly two other prep 'school ath­letic
events will be held on the campus

Ad Libbing By Ole Timer
The Rev. Alvin Horn of near Talladega, is a self-admitted
member of the Ku Klux Klan. Makes us wonder what the re­action
of Auburn students would be if a local minister or col­lege
professor would admit membership in the brotherhood.
Possibly an Anti-Klan faction
would employ one of the Klan's
many terroistic devices to see how
it would affect a victim who
sanctioned the method.
Surely t h e congregation of
Brother Horn's church must find
it difficult to receive a spiritual
lift from his preachings or from
personal contacts. The hood and
robe fraternity cannot be thought
of as juxtapositive with the
teachers of the Gospel.

An occurence of interest to Au­burn
students who watch Univer­sity
happenings took place last
quarter. The Crimson-White, stu­dent
weekly at the Capstone, was
evidently having trouble finding a
suitable publisher, so contacted
Neil Davis to see if arrangements
could be made for the Bulletin
Publishing Co. to print the paper.
They are now flying copy to Ha-leyville,
120 miles from Tusca­loosa,
transporting staff members
there to read proof, and bringing
the issues back via air.
This makes us realize how for­tunate
we are to have our conven­ient
set-up, undoubtedly one of
the best for a paper and school
the sizes of The Plainsman and of
Auburn.

Students who have been in the
dark for the past few years on
necessary qualifications of candi­dates
for posts on Auburn publi­cations
should be enlightened
soon. The Publications Board is
expected to formulate and adopt
a definite set of standards for
candidates which will be strictly
adhered to in the future.
You make take the following
poem with a grain of salf, or you
might see embodied in its simple
lines a true feeling of the Au­burn
"Spirit". It was written in
reply to the late Dr. George Pe-trie's
question, "Why did you
come to Auburn?" and was signed
"OFKGOB".
Why did I come to Auburn?
I guess that I don't know.
She hasn't Florida's sunshine,
Nor Dartmouth's gleaming
snow.
She is no seat of learning
With Harvard's mighty tomes;
She misses Princeton's back­ground,
Yale's cathedrals, spires, or
domes.
Why did I come to Auburn?
I'm sure that I don't know.
Her faculty is limited,
Her funds are always low.
She lacks Cayuga's waters
And 'Bama's Rose Bowl
teams.
She's what Goldsmith called a
village,
Deserted so it seems.
Why did I come to Auburn?
As something seems to say:
You'll live and learn as the
weeks go by
And ere long rue the day.
It may be true, sharp doubts
have I
The days are long, tradition's
strong,
And folks don't seem the
same.
Why did I come to Auburn?
That's what I hope to know.
Of the things I've heard (Is
spirit the word?)
That makes the friendships
grow.
There's much to be learned of
Auburn,
Which time alone will tell,
• But when I do, I'll see it
through
With a War Eagle—Give 'Em
Hell.
Legislature Report By Kirk Jordan
The Alabama State Legislature
has moved fast in the past two
weeks to unmask and punish
hooded mobsters. Two weeks ago
the senate gave its approval to
the anti-masking bill, and last
week t h e house judiciary com­mittee
gave its unanimous ap­proval
to the bill.
The judiciary committee hear­ing
was attended by Dr. C. O.
Pruitt of Birmingham, head of the
Alabama Ku Klux Klansmen. As
the committee okayed the meas­ure,
Dr. Pruitt slammed his fist
down on a desk and walked with
defiance from the capitol.
This week should see the final
vote in the house on the anti-masking
bill with Governor Fol-som's
signature immediately fol­lowing
passage by the house. The
legislature and the governor are
to be commended on their har­mony
in this fight.
In the house a proposed substi­tute
for the invalidated Boswell
Amendment, which placed re­striction
on voting in the state,
came near defeat. When the
amendment was put to a vote it
fell four votes short of the 64 vote
minimum required to pass a con­stitutional
amendment in t he
house. However, enough votes
were on hand to keep the amend­ment
before the house for recon­sideration.
Rep. Bill Barnett's resolution
calling for a joint committee to
investigate prison conditions was
amended by the senate and pass­ed
by a vote of 20 to 10. The pro­posal
calls for a 14 member legis­lative
committee, armed with
power to summon witnesses and
to attach records. As amended by
the senate the investigators would
be limited to three weeks.
The Swift Bridge Bill, now up
.before the senate, was increased
to include the construction of 113
bridges in Alabama at an estimat­ed
$18,000,000. The bill is meet­ing
bitter opposition, mostly from
administration supporters, who
call it the "pork barrel of all pork
barrel bills."
Sen. Robin Swift, one of the
bill's sponsors, defended it by
saying t h a t bridge building in
Alabama has been neglected for
several years. He said there was
an urgent need for the increase
in bridges and that "unless the
legislature resumes the policy of
designating bridges to be built,
they will not be constructed in
our time."
The senate finance and taxation
committee approved a measure
to raise the governor's salary
from $6,000 a year to $10,000. The
raise would not be in effect until
the next term of office. Included
in the measure is $15,000 for man­sion
expenses, $7,000 for official
travel, and $3,000 for mansion re­pairs.
It is generally believed in the
capital circles that the legislature
will recess all of next week. The
"vacation" will give the legisla­tors
a chance to be at their homes
for July 4, and also to rest up for
the remainder of the summer ses­sion.

Letters to the Editor
(Editor's Note: The following
is a letter written by two stu­dents
who wished to have their
names witheld. They were asked
by all three of the musical groups
who signed the letter to write
a letter of appreciation to Prof.
Tom Turbyfill who resigned from
the Auburn Music department
last quarter.)
* * *
Auburn, Alabama
24 June 1949
Dear Mr. Turbyfill:
A mere verbal thank you is not
enough to give to a man who has
accomplished so - great a task as
you have in these past nine mon­ths.
It was only through your pa­tience
and devotion to your work
that you were able to build in only
three quarters choral groups of
the standard that you did. Your
individual technique in directing
and voice placement in the group
produced the effect that was so
successful in our many concerts.
Because of these techniques, we
feel that we have learned a great
deal by working under you.
Through you there has been
brought to light the appreciation
and desire for good choral music
of the student and faculty of
A.P.I., and we are proud to know
that we had a part in it. Your con­tribution
to the music department
and to the reputation of the school
will not soon be forgotten either
by the school or by the citizens
of Auburn, for we have experi­enced
what can be accomplished
with proper leadership.
We shall miss you both as a di­rector
and as a friend. We want
you to know that as you leave
Auburn, you take with you our
sincere wishes for success in
whatever venture the future holds
for you
Sincerely,
The Auburn Concert Choir
The Gleemen
The Auburnaires
been due to the lack of the pro­per
funds for the payment of
these faculty members. Unless
these funds can be provided, Au­burn
will continue to lose impor­tant
men.
I sincerely hope that the state
legislature will realize how vital
the funds which are included in
the Auburn budget are to this
institution. If the legislature will
seriously consider the needs and
possibilities of Auburn, I believe
that they will do all in their pow­er
to i equip the college with the
essential funds.
Auburn must have alL of the
funds it can obtain. So the future
of Auburn lies in the hands of
Alabama lawmakers. I hope that
this future will be made bright by
the legislators.
Yours Truly,
John Martin
Dear Editor,
Last week The Plainsman car­ried
a story telling of the depar­ture
of four more outstanding
members of the Auburn faculty.
These four men are leaving Au­burn
like many other outstanding
members of the faculty have done
in the past two years—because of
the offers of better positions at
other institutions.
With the loss of the outstanding
men in the research department
Auburn must take a back seat
in this most important, work of
the college. Had Auburn been able
to pay salaries or offered facilities
which would accomodate the work
which had to be carried out, I be­lieve
that all four of these men
would have remained here.
Practically all of the losses in
personnel on the faculty have
Dear Editor,
It is indeed discouraging to see
that the University of Alabama
students are dissatisfied over the
policies of their president, Dr.
John Galalee. The campaign on
the campus recently to oust Dr.
Gallalee was unfortunate for Ala­bama
students and members of
the administration.
Several state papers made the
'G.G.G." campaign an overated
demonstration. (The G.G.G. let­ters
meant "Gallalee's Gotta
Go.") However, from all the
facts available it appears that the
demonstration was over-publi-cized^
and that the Alabama presi­dent
was only taking a clear stand
on issues of vital importance to
the University.
Auburn students can point with
pride to the record of President
Draughon and his excellent rela­tions
with the student body. Presi­dent
Draughon has always kept
his relations, with students on a
high and friendly level. I hope for
the good of the University and
Auburn that the 'Bama students
will regain confidence in Dr. Gal­lalee.
Very Truly Yours,
Tom Williams
Dear Editor,
Why in the HELL doesn't the
college take steps to stop the park­ing
of cars on Thach Street and
around Ross Square behind Sam-ford
Hall. Under the present con­ditions,
one takes his life in his
hands when attempting to cross
the street in either of these areas.
Since Thach is really too nar­row
for two cars to safely pass, it
is absolutely ridiculous for college
officials to allow parking on any
part of Thach that extends onto
the campus. The congestion and
confusion created by parking on
Thach make it a matter of real
(continued on page 6)
With the school's enrollment
about half as large as it has been
during the past several years,
summer school students have a
splendid opportunity to practice
the Auburn Spirit. There was a
time, some 8 or 10 years ago, when
every student knew everybody
else's name and spoke to him
whenever he passed him on the
campus or street. But with the
large enrollment and fast pace of
the post-war period, most of this
friendliness disappeared.
It used to be a cardinal sin for
a freshman to fail to speak to an
upperclassman here. They would
do it now if they were given any
encouragement. Everybody seems
to have a favorite system for re­cognizing
a new student on the
campus. Different people say that
they look bewildered or fright­ened
or lost, but I believe that
you can point them out because
they always speak. Undoubtedly,
they have heard that Auburn is
a friendly school. However, it
takes them a couple of weeks to
find out the truth; then you have
to knock them down to make them
speak. But can we blame them?
After all, it is not very encourag­ing
to try to speak to people who
won't even look you in the eye as
they pass.
Today we have a typical large-school
student body-aloof and un­interested
in anyone except their
immediate clique. I remember
reading somewhere an article
about one of the Eastern schools,
in which there were excerpts from
a speech by the Dean of Men to a
group of new students. Among
other things, this official told the
new men that on their campus "no
gentleman speaks to any other
gentleman to whom he has not
been properly introduced". I
would hate to think that Auburn
is developing into a school like
that.
This quarter, if every student
would make a sincere effort to
know every other student with
whom he comes in daily contact,
we could build' a nucleus of
friendliness that would spread to
other students and help us regain
the coveted title of "the friend­liest
college in the nation."
Guest Column
"Those crazy college kids," a
woman commented the other
night when students were clap­ping
during the showing of the
advertisements at the local thea­ter.
"They're always stirring up
trouble. They don't object to other
advertising, why should they ob­ject
to this? It's all the same."
We do not feel there is any
basis for such a comparison. Mo­tion
picture advertising has sev-
. eral features that entirely set it
apart from advertising in other
media.
In the first place, advertising in
most other media depends on its
own appeal to draw and sell pros­pective
customers. There is noth­ing
compulsory about it. If an ad­vertisement
in a magazine inter­ests
you, ydu read it; if not, you
don't.
But in the theater, a person has
practically no alternative except
to look at the advertisement. You
can close your eyes or look at the
ceiling while the advertisements
are being run (which is a practice
many people have adopted in re­cent
years), but it is a little hard­er
to close your ears.
While other media depend al­most
wholly on advertising, and
not circulation, for their revenue,
the theater is in just the opposite
situation. To the theater owner,
advertising is just a profitable
sideline. The elimination of such
advertising would, it is a safe bet,
not affect the admission price. The
elimination of advertising in
newspapers and magazines would
necessitate more than doubling the
purchase price.
• So you can not put all the blame
on the students. While a person
hates to condone such drastic
action as is being taken, anyone
who has attended the local thea­ters
during the past year will cer­tainly
admit that the advertise­ments
themselves have slowly
built up this antagonism to its
present heated state. Sometimes
it takes drastic measures to get
action. —Daily Kansan.

'Auburn Will Battle Ole Miss Rebels
In 1949 Football Opener This Fall
The Auburn Tigers will open their stiffest football sche­dule
in history on September 23 against the University of
j Mississippi Rebels. The game will be played under the lights
' at Cramton Bowl, Montgomery.
This will be only the third time in history that these
two teams have met on the grid­iron.
In 1928, a year when Au­burn
won only one game, the
Rebs defeated the Tigers 19-0. In
1932 the scene had changed con­siderably,
and it was an unbeaten
Auburn team that topped the
Mississippi team, 14-7.
The Tigers were the co-cham­pions
of the conference that yeai,
and lost a possible trip to Pasa-i
dena and the Rose Bowl when
Vhey were held to a 20-20 dead­lock
in the final game of the sea­son
by the University of South
Carolina.
In this third encounter, the Ole
Miss team will be heavily favored
to top the Plainsmen. Coach John­ny
Vaught and his cohorts are
riding on the crest of two highly
successful seasons. Though admit­tedly
weaker this year than last,
they still demand enough respect
to be picked for fourth in the SEC
by the coaches in the conference.
In the same poll, Auburn was
picked for last place.
While Ole Miss lost a number
from last year's team by
tion, they still have some fine
performers returning. Heading the
list is guard Jimmy Crawford, al­ready
being hailed as All-Con­ference
and possibly All-Ameri­can
material. Other linemen are
Ken Farragut at center, Jack
Stribling at end, and Bill Ham-ley
at tackle, all very capable men
on a football field.
In the backfield the man to
watch is the quarterback Bud
Dottley. His passing arm is being
counted on heavily this fall.
Another man that bears watching
is a Piedmont, Ala., product,
Bobby Wilson. Big and fast, Bob­by
can run, pass and kick with
the best of them, and as a pass de­fensive
man he is close to the top

Auburn's hard-working athletic publicity director, Jimmy
Coleman, has in his office a complete record of all there is to
know about Auburn athletes. Just out of curiosity I con­ducted
a survey on all these athletes to determine their likes
and dislikes on a number of pertinent subjects. The players
gradua- | were asked to list their favorite food, favorite comic strip,
favorite movie actress, the greatest athlete of today and final­ly,
the color of hair they prefer. Their answers were enlighten­ing
as well as entertaining.
In the voting for the favorite food, a red-hot race develop­ed.
The Dixiecrat element fought valiantly for that good
Southern dish, fried chicken. But dissension arose. The left
wing of the chicken group split with the party and nominated
watermelon, while the right wing of the chicken also bolted
and set up as their nominee strawberry shortcake. The split
proved fatal to the Dixiecrats. While the chicken element at­tempted
gamely but vainly to navigate without wings, a dark
horse, steak, come home the winner. The voting went this
way: steak 34; chicken 25; strawberry shortcake 6, and water­melon
5.
The two closest races came in the contest for the favorite
comic strip and the greatest athlete. In a photo finish Blondie
defeated Lil Abner, 17 votes to 16. Hot on the trail, as he
always is, was Dick Tracy with 14 votes. Ozark Ike was next
with 10 votes, and Alley Oop polled 8.
As to the greatest athlete, the winner was 17-year old Bob
Mathias, Olympic decathlon champion of last year. Mathias
just did beat out Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, 16 to 14.
Other strong finishers were Charlie Trippi with 12, Joe Di-
Maggio with 9, Doak Walker 5, Stan Musial, Lou Boudreau
and Joe Louis 4, and Jackie Robinson 3.
Girls, if you are a brunette, then you've got it made. By
a solid 10 vote margin, Auburn athletes indicated their pre­ference
for the dark-haired damsels. The actual voting was
like this: brunettes 36, blondes 26, and the redheads a very
distant third with only 6.
Only in the voting for the favorite movie actress was
there a landslide. Polling more votes than her next four com­petitors
was your girl and mine, Ava "One Touch of Venus"
Gardner. Miss Gardner landed 21 votes to 6 for her closest
rival, Ingrid Bergman. Lana Turner was next best with 5,
Esther Williams captured 4, and Jane Russell was named by
two.

Letters To Editor
(continued from page 4)
question when trying to go to and
from classes as the pedestrian
must make a gamble with death
when attempting to cross the
street. Possibly, college officials
are waiting for someone to lose
this gamble before attempting to
remedy the situation.
The parking around Ross
Square behind Samford is most
illogical. The congestion and tu-rnult
created by the steady stream
of traffic through this area is not
only of danger to anyone in the
area, but is an eyesore to the
campus.
Few colleges in the country al­low
their students to park on the
main part of the campus, yet I
would not anyday be surprised to
find automobiles parked on spa­cious
Samford lawn now. Seve­ral
parking lots are on the cam­pus
and can accomodate the cars
which must be parked in this area.
If the automobile owners would
only use their cars when it is en­tirely
necessary, this dangerous
and unnecessary situation can be
helped. However, it is up to the
college officials to take steps to
remove these unsafe conditions.
I certainly hope that some ac­tion
will be taken before someone
j is either badly injured or
KILLED!
Sincerely,
F. A. Waits
