That Discriminatory Clause
It seems to us that every time we pick
up one of our Associated Collegiate Press
news releases (containing news reports
from college campuses across the nation)
we see another editorial excerpt dealing
with the fraternity system and its discriminatory
clause which restricts membership
on racial and/or religious grounds.
It would appear that this question is
one of the most controversial of all those
currently under discussion on today's college
campuses, particularly in the North.
At present, The Daily Northwestern is
conducting a strong campaign to cajole N.
U. fraternities into doing away with discriminatory
clauses. The Tufts Weekly'
and the Colgate Maroon are carrying on
similar campaigns, as are a number of
other college papers. And; the Interfrat-ernity
Council at Michigan State College
has given campus fraternities five years to
remove discriminatory clauses from their
constitutions. If the "chapters fail to comply
with the ruling, their charters will be
revoked.
All this talk causes us to wonder just
where it all is leading.
As for our stand on the question, we
wholeheartedly endorse the desire to see
the discriminatory clause, contained in
most fraternity constitutions, be abolished.
To us, the clause is obviously undemocratic.
However, we wonder just how much
has been accomplished if the clause is
stricken. Has it fostered better inter-racial
and inter-creed relations? Has it insured
admittance of qualified persons regardless
of race or creed? Obviously not.
Although abolishing the clause would
be a step in the right direction, it is not
a cure-all. It appears to us that some of
the campaigners for the removal of the
clause have lost sight of that fact.
With the clause gone, the only barrier
'Cotton Tom' Heflin
Simple funeral services held last week
marked the termination of one of the most
colorful careers in Southern political history.
In unpretentious ceremonies, "Cotton
Tom" Heflin was laid away like the
proverbial lamb—he had lived like the
lion.
Always good copy, Heflin in his final
act—the most colorless of all—^received
front page coverage in many newspapers,
including such foreign papers as the New
York Times and Washington Post. Even
in death, this octogenarian was news, for
few people who either knew, or knew of,
him, will soon forget the colorful raconteur
who was once the most controversial figure
in Southern politics.
"Cotton Tom" was the first Southern
dissenter to bolt the National Democratic
Party, doing so in protest of the nomination
of Al Smith for the presidency.
As a result of his stumping against the
party candidate, Heflin soon found himself
a politician without political office. However,
he didn't fall into the limbo reserved
for politicians in enforced retirement.
Instead, he refused to "fade away" and
continued to be heard from until his death
although hp never again conducted a
Fade-Away... But When?
Like many other interested persons,
we're still waiting for the promised Mac-
Arthur fade-away. He has told us that
he doesn't plan to die but right now, we'd
like to know when he plans to fade away.
Certainly, there was nothing of a retiring
nature in the parade through Chicago'
last week. In fact, we wonder just how
pretentious one man can get.
For a time, we were inclined to attribute
MacArthur's gaudy showmanship of .
late to his well-known delusions of grand-that
has been removed is the constitutional
limitation. Prejudices and rock-bound
traditions remain. These too, must be removed
before any real advances in human
relationships can be made. To that end,
one cannot legislate, one must educate.
We feel that, sooner or later, virtually
all fraternities will strike the discriminatory
clause out of their constitutions. This
would appear a necessary eventuality due
•to the large amount of agitation for it and
the lack of adequate logical support of the
clause's retention. •.
However, after the clause is removed,
what next? The individual chapters will
still choose their own men.
Religious stipulations, as evidenced by
groups constitutionally restricted to Christians
or Hebrews, have often been overlooked
in fraternity pledging, but racial
considerations pose another problem. One
must realize that equality of races .has
not shown any adaptability to. being legislatively-
imposed. Scores of interfrater-
"nity council' edicts cannot provide relief
of racial tension or an abolition of discrimination.
The U.S. Constitution has not accomplished
this.
.So, rather than their crying, "clause,
clause, who's got the clause?," we'd prefer
to see the papers present unemotional, rational
appeals to the individual's innate
sense of justice on all matters involving
human relations.
For, observance of the principles of
brotherhood is an individual concern and
such being the case, individuals must be
educated through sound, moral, humanitarian
teaching.
When this is accomplished, prospective
fraternity members will be considered on
individual merit, with no thought given
race or creed. Then, the discriminatory
clause will take care of itself and disappear
sans furore.
successful campaign for public office.
"Cotton Tom" was a typical Southern
politician in many ways but in one respect
he was rather unique: he didn't avoid
issues. On a question, controversial or no,
he took a stand and stuck to it.
He was a near-violent champion of
"King Cotton,^ and white supremacy and
• the like. And, he made no bones about
his bitter hatreds and prejudices. It was
his opposition to "the mass hysteria called
Roman Catholicism" that caused him to
bolt from the Democratic Party which
nominated Catholic Smith for president.
He was just as eloquent when asked his
opinion of the Dixiecrat walkout of 1948—
the first "bolter" sided with the national
party.
Taken as a whole, his career is one
which makes for interesting study, for he
was not a man to be ignored. Had we been
his contemporary during his active. campaign
days, we'd have disagreed with him
on many things that he fought for, but we'
hardly see how we could have helped being
attracted by his personal magnetism.
For, he was color personified^in Southern,
politics and-when he died, no cub reporter
wrote his obit.

eur, but it appears that it's time for the
general either to keep his promise or begin
to render service to his country as he did
before he arrogated to himself the making
of national policy.
This is the time for national unity and
if the general is to play the role of the
Great American he apparently considers
himself to be, he must cease this overt self-promotion
which has an obvious negative
effect on national unity. If not, we hope
he expedites the fade-away.

When Shakespeare was whooping it up along the banks of
the Nile in the year 1700, a more serious-minded young man
was chained in the black depths of the castle of Chillon. The
prisoner, in an atmosphere conducive to creative
masterpieces, wrote beautiful verse which
at present is outselling God's Little Acre.
Shakespeare's rowdy-rowdy life was a dud,
having produced nothing mere than rose-tossing,
balcony-sitting heroines, and banjo-strumming
lovers.
A selected few of the prisoner's best works

America Argues While India Starves;
MacArthur-Truman Facts Are Quoted
By Jim Jennings

While America argues over Far Eastern foreign policy and
divides itself into Truman and MacArthur camps that appear
to be considering the situation less from the point of view of
the facts involved than from the standpoint of partisan politics,
India, the greatest of Middle Eastern powers, faces a
famine apparently without at- man had issued a directive that:
"Officials overseas, including
military commanders and diplomatic
representatives, should be
ordered to exercise extreme caution
in public statements, to clear
all but routine statements with
their departments and to refrain
from direct communication on
military or foreign policy with
newspapers, magazines, or other
publicity media in the United
States.
"General Whitney, speaking
for General MacArthur:
"The directive of December 6
was not directed to General Mac-
Arthur personally but was directed
to all executive agencies of
the government. Immediately
after its receipt, General Mac-
Arthur submitted a proposed
communique to the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, who informed him
among other things that it was
not necessary to submit communiques
referencing military operations.
* * *
"On March 24 (Washington
date—it was March 25 in Tokyo),
General MacArthur issued a
statement saying:
"Within the area of my authority
as military commander . . .
I stand ready at any time to confer
in the field with the commander
in chief of the enemy
forces.
That same day, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff sent a message to the
General saying:
"The President has directed
that . . . any further statements
by you must be co-ordinated as
prescribed in the order of 6 December
. . . in the event Communist
military leaders request
an armistice in the field, you immediately
report that fact to
JCS for instructions.
"General Whitney later said:
"The General has interpreted
. . . his statement of March 24 . . .
as dealing exclusively with the
military situation and within the
tracting attention or concern.
Months ago India appealed to
the United States for aid. Legislation
which would have provided
this aid has been bogged
down in Congress in a proverbial
maze of "red tape" and lack of
interest.
Aid for India is an issue which
lacks the color and drama that
can be associated with Congressional
'investigations of crime in
the United States or of Senator
McCarthy's wild, unfounded

can it be considered

on which a
major partisan
split could be developed. It is not
at the present time causing the
death of American boys.
It is simply an issue that involves
the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people. It is simply
an issue that could conceiveably
bring a breakdown of the entire
Indian economy. It is bogged
down deep in a proverbial maze
of Congressional "red tapis" while
people argue over Far Eastern
policy .and divide themselves into
partisan camps on the basis of
hero worship and political advantage.

Auburn has long been known
as one of the friendliest schools
in the country. Visitors from all
parts' of the world have gone away
praising the sincerity of the students
in their mutual respect for
one another. It is still that way
and we''all are very much aware
of it, but recently it was pointed
out to me by an alumnus tha't
sometimes a visitor leaves with an
opinion opposite that which we
would like him to have. By this .
he was referring to the rivalry
between the schools.
All of us are aware of the remarks
that are made by men in
one school belittling those in another.
The ^engineers make un-ffair
remarks about the architects
and building construction people,
and many others joke about the
students in business administration.
In short, many of us are guilty
of making unfair and misleading
remarks concerning our fellow
students in schools other than
our own. We, of course, mean
them as jokes and don't intend
them to be taken seriously, but •
a visitor could easily get a different
meaning from them.
All of us are striving, directly
or indirectly, for a "Greater Auburn."
In doing this it is important
that we respect each other
and realize that a man in one
school is contributing as much
to make the ultimate goal as another.
Man is dependent upon
his fellow man throughout life.
This is no serious criticism, because
the harm done is negligible,
but it is worth while to _think it
over and see what effect it could
have in some cases. It's just a
passing thought, but why not realize
our dependence on each other
and give credit where it is due?
Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
During my eight months' stay
here in the city of Auburn, I have
noticed the complex parking
problem that exists from day to
.day in our fair city. Therefore, I
consider it my duty as a private
citizen, to have my say regarding
this parking problem. Here I
wish to make the assertion that
"Our m e t e r parking system
should be completely reorganized."
And to- back up my assertion,
I will give facts and figures as
proof that our present meter system
should be reorganized.
Firstly, the main purpose of our
meter system is to keep traffic
moving and in order to do this
more efficiently, we should exchange
our present two-hour
meters for one-hour meters, thus
cutting down by one hour the total
time a car could be parked at
one spot.
Since the total population of
Auburn exceeds the 12,000 mark;
since the business area of our city
is small in comparison with our
population, and since we have a
limited number of meters (100
to be exact) to serve the public,
we would give more cars a
chance to park by cutting down
on the two-hour parking limit.
Then, instead of having one car
stay parked two hours, we would
have two cars parked one hour
each. Consequently we would
cause an increase of traffic movement
by a little less, than fifty
per cent.
Secondly, we have in our present
meter parking system, a
. joker, whereby a qualified candidate
can obtain, for a fee of six
dollars a month, a special parking
sticker to be placed upon the
windshield of his auto. This sticker
gives the holder the privilege
of staying parked all day in front
of one meter.
Now, the qualifications necessary
to obtaining one of the stickers
are simple. First, you must be
in business. Second, you must use
your vehicle for some type of delivery
service. The latter of the
two qualifications has a loophole
which is that. regardless of the
type of business a person may be
engaged in, the owner can claim
that he uses his auto in connection
with his business, thereby
obtaining a sticker.
Since there are 181 licensed
business establishments within
the city limits of Auburn and
only 100 parking meters, you can
readily see what could happen if

M ore an dMon By Gene "Moose" Moore
Scientists are good kids, there's
no doubt about that. But don't
they know when to stop?
. I can't remember launching any
blast of criticism at scien-, neither
-ce nor -tists, when pensive
calculators revealed to an awed
and stupified world that an average
serving of the "lowly sweet
potato" (what do they mean by
this? sweet potatoes are just as
good as they are) contains the
total daily requirement of vitamin
A for the normal, person.
Nor, did I complain when, pleas
of the Anti-Vivisection League
notwithstanding, scientists wrung
out a hog's pituitary gland and
used the hormone contained
therein to grow hair on bald rats,
bellowing that the hormone may
possibly sprout hirsute adornments
on chrome-domed human
beings as well.
Who was I to object? After all,
aren't scientists responsible for
the intricate mazes of twisted
copper which make it possible for
telephone companies of* the world
to have the physical facilities for
connecting almost any phone with
a specified one of over 67 million
other phones on this planet? By
merely picking up Scientist
Bell's gadget, it is boasted, any
person with the ability to speak
a known tongue may now phone
such places as Morocco, the Belgian
Congo, Papua, Gozo, and
Salt Lake City.
And who but a scientist, pray,
would take the trouble to scuttle
along the floor of seas just to
figure out that an electric ray
fish weighing 20 pounds can discharge
enough electricity to
knock a man down? or that the
Gulf of Mexico c o n t a i ns
15,620,000,000,000,000 tons of mud
and silt? or that in swimming
downstream, a fish must swim
faster than the current or be suffocated
by water entering its
gills?
Science Fiction magazine, not
to be outdone, recently turned
psychologist in an effort to determine
if New Yorkers were as
blase and sophisticated as they
seem. The idea was to send out to
roam the downtown streets a
man—a grown man—with an
eerie green complexion, a winged
silver helment, green tights
and a flying saucer insignia on his
chest, just to see how the public
reacted. Only eight persons stopped
to ask who or what the spectacle
might be. One of the few
curious ones, when told by a reporter
that he was the Man from
Mars, exclaimed with relief, "Oh,
I thought maybe the guy was a
lunatic!"
With all this, worthwhile or
useless, I found no fault—it was
legitimate. Scientists were concerned
with things of science, and
I was concerned with finding no
fault with them, and everybody
was, if not happy, at least in his
chosen field.
Then I read this paragraph,
tucked slyly into a newspaper
column, and it made me so disgusted
with scientists that I
threw away the Boy Wonder
Chemicraft set I had got for my
birthday, Pyrex text tubes and
all:
"When your wife says she'll be
ready 'in a jiffy' you can hold
a stop-watch on her and find out
how many 'jiffies' she really
takes . . . To physicists, 'jiffy'
is now the accepted term for the
time it takes a light wave to travel
one centimeter, .0000000000-
33357ths of a second."
Now see here, scientists, haven't
you gone a little too far? Next
thing we uneducated folk know,
you'll be wanting to be crowned
Queen of the May. Can't we poor
but honest non-scientists have
anything of our own? Can you
remember back to the pre-Atom-ic
Age days, or is your brain
too cluttered with thoughts of
light waves traveling one centimeter
and of electric ray fish
knocking men down? Back in
„them days, when men were men
and scientists still had plenty of
things to invent, Websters New
International Dictionary had this
to say about the item in question:
"Jif-fy, n.; pi., jiffies. (Origin
unknown). A moment; . an instant;
as I will go in a jiffy."
See? Brief, but sufficient. Clear
and easy to understand. Black
ink on white paper, reading from
left to right. Jiffy. No light waves
traveling a centimeter, nor even
a millimeter, nor even a trilli-meter.
Sure times have changed. But
as you trip lightly over the Meadows
of. Knowledge, can't you
leave something for the laymen?
Seems as if there'd be enough to
keep you busy in your own field.
With Armageddon coming up,
you guys should be working day
and night on an omni-destructive
weapon to rid the earth of the
Forces of Good or of Evil, whichever
side you're against.

' 'Alabama Farmer' Is Source Of Info
For Agrarians And Home-Makers
By John Schermer
From a school with such an extensive agriculture plant as
is at Auburn, one would naturally expect to find some source
through which information could be dispensed to farmers,
county agents, housewives, and students of agriculture. Such
an informative publication is the Alabama Farmer, a monthly
magazine sponsored by the Ag
Council.
The Alabama- Farmer is the
outgrowth of the efforts of the
Ag journalism class of '21, which
chipped in on an Eberhard Faber
from Burton's, dug up an old
typewriter, and started printing
• what was to become one of the
most prominent college agriculture
magazines.
The Farmer attempts to impart
a practical knowledge of the most
recent developments and advances
in the field of agriculture. Information
is funneled in from Ag
Hill research and experimental
discoveries. Also, information is
received from large agricultural,
.industrial, and machinery firms
•^telling of their latest discoveries
and new products based on
them.
A section of the magazine is
devoted to news from the home
economics department. This section
is designed to be of help to
the housewife and contains articles
of interest on such subjects
as meal-planning, sewing, and
helpful hints on house-keeping.
The magazine itself, usually
• runs around 16 pages, and it has
a circulation of well over a
thousand. Though primarily a
student publication, it also presents
many articles, features and
news stories of interest to Alabama's
farmers.
John Parish, a senior in agriculture
from Headland, is the
present editor of the Farmer.
Walter Weatherly, junior from
Ft. Payne, is business manager.
Frank McDonald, Monrovia, and
Lucile May, Roanoke, are associate
editors.
Formerly sponsored by the ag
journalism class, the Farmer is
now under the sponsorship of the
Ag Council, which appoints a
board of directors to guide and
advise the workings of the magazine.
Offices are located on the third
floor of Comer Hall. It ,is here
that the Farmer is assembled—
from a scattering of information
to a well-coordinated agricultural
magazine, read by men interested
in agriculture all over the
state.

Joe Clem, vice-president,' and C.
J. Fricke, secretary..
The club has competed in
matches with such schools as
Johns Hopkins, Penn State, LSU,
Michigan State, Marion, and the
University of Kentucky. Scoring
is done in a manner which sees
the score cards of the match participants
sent to . the national
headquarters where they are compared
to determine the winner
of the match. In this manner
more than two schools can compete
in matches, and eliminate
any traveling costs** which may
be incurred otherwise.

Dear Editor:
I would like to congratulate
Kelly Burke and his Drives Committee
on the fine work they have
done and are doing toward eliminating
those unsightly dirt paths.
I feel that we students here at
Auburn have long needed an
awakening in this respect. The
very fact that dirt paths have
been formed, however, is an indication
that the routes afforded
by the paved walkways are in
many cases out of the way or
poorly-placed. Is any move being
made toward paving at least
those which get heavy traffic?
Kelly, and fellows, you've done
a swell job of closing both ends
of most of those eyesores with
your little signs, but at the rate
grass grows it will be quite a
good while befoi-e they are again
green. I would like to suggest:
1. grass seed
2. manure
3. topsoil

A-DAY AGAIN
It's A-Day again and the Loveliest
Village will be readying itself
for the alumni overflow that
will pour in before kick-off time
at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Loyal Tiger grid fans and the
state sportswriters will be searching
Cliff Hare Stadium for evidence
of a different Auburn football
machine. It has been a long
time since the S.E.C.'s most spirited
alumni and student group has
had a football squad with a success
anywhere comparable to the
enthusiasm of-its grid patrons.
Coach Jordan and his staff probably
have never worked harder
over a six-week period than they
have the last half dozen weeks.
There is no doubt that this holds
true for the players. Some observers
describe the drills as Wal-ly
Butts-styled, while others compare
them to Jack Meagher. One
thing is for sure—they've been
rough, tough workouts.
Probably as interested as anyone
else watching the action Saturday,
will be scouts from Van-derbilt,
with whom the Tigers
open the season next September
29. The Commodores have their
spring training game this week,
too. It's a good bet Vandy will
not go unobserved by Auburn
eyes. Auburn has been less successful
with Vanderbilt than any
other team on the Tiger schedule;
so the opener here next fall will
pose a two-^fold test.

BIG JIM DILLION, sophomore- weight man for the Auburn

at all the Tiger track and field -. meets this year. The reason for
this is that Dillion has consistently hurled the discus farther than
the SEC record distance for the past two years and is expected to
officially crack the record at the annual conference meet. Dillion
is also a consistent point-maker in the shot-put and javelin, having
soundly beaten Bama's Carl Shields, SEC champion shot-putter,

At last week's end SAE, Lambda Chi, and Delta Sigma Phi

Alpha Psi was getting accustomed to the number one spot in
League III.
ATO was jostled from the third interfraternity league
lead by a determined crew of Al

3-2. Losing pitcher Bill Franke
homered in vain in the second
inning, only to see his two-run
lead dwindle to nothing in the
last inning when the winners
pushed a run across .with the
bases loaded and none out.
Delta Sig Jim Bingham continued
to pitch nice ball with a
four-hit 11-1 win over Kappa
Sigma, a game in which he faced
only 25 batters.

hung a 11-7 shellacking on the,
Navy nine to take over first place
in League I, I while the Hellcats

Blues Upset Dope, Top Oranges, 30-18,
In Preview Clash Of A-Day Squads
By Bruce Greenhill
(Subbing for Kokomo McArdle)
Railbirds who had generally accorded the Orange squad
(captained by "Foots" Bauer) a slight edge over Allan P a r k s'
Blue team in the coming A-Day football game, received a
surprise Saturday as the Blue Squad displayed surprising
offensive power and won a regulation-time, preview game by
a score of 30-18.
No extra-point tries were made
and in lieu of kickoffs, the receiving
squad put the ball in play,
first-and-ten, on their own 30
yard line. Otherwise, last week's
tilt was a regulation contest.
"Breaks" accounted for and Get
up a number of the touchdowns
in the tilt which was characterized
• by shifty, hard-running
backs.
In Saturday's play, it appeared
that the Blue team had a slight
edge with respect to running attack
as the pile-driving plunges
of Fullbacks Herman Howard
and Homer Williams, and the
IF Vol ley bailers
Continue Loop Play
Interfraternity volleyball play
continued last week, resulting in
loop leadership for Pi Kappa Phi,
Sigma Nu, Alpha Psi, and Theta
Chi in their respective leagues.
Last week's results were:
Kappa Alpha over Alpha Gamma

ATO over SPE; Theta Chi over
Lambda Chi; PiKA over Sigma
Chi; Alpha Psi over SAE; Sigma
. „ ,' break-away running of THj a,l,f,b, ac,k s Nu over OTS, and Pi Kappa Phi
Bobby Freeman and Bobby Duke o v er
drew many plaudits from the
spectators.
For the Orange team it was the
running and passing of Quarterback
Billy Tucker, the running
of Halfbacks Charles Hataway
and Herbert Jordan, plus the
pass-receiving of 'Hataway and
End Dave Ridgway that sparked
a spotty, but brilliant attack.
In the line, individual brilliance
was hard to single out as
both forewalls charged a nd
blocked well. For the Blues,
Tackles Herb Nobles and Bill
Turnbeaugh showed up well and
in the Orange line—which was
missing Captain Bauer, who was
in Florida for a track meet along
with Blue Captain Parks—Tackles
Gene Mulhall and over-anxious
Joe Tiburzi looked good.
The intra-squad preview was a
see-saw affair. The Blues took an
early lead on a 70-yard drive.
Quarterback Dudley Spence passed
15 yards to Halfback Freeman
to get the drive rolling. From then
on it was Fullback Howard on the
inside and Freeman on the outside
as the Blue ground attack
picked up momentum. Freeman's
plunge over from the two climaxed
the thrust and the score was
BIue-6', Orange 0. " " &$*&&
The Orange squad took over
and Tucker, back to pass and
unable to locate a receiver, got
away for a 20-y a r d break
through the whole Blue team. A
fumble cut this drive short and
the Blues took over, moving into
scoring position again on a brilliant
35-yard sprint by Freeman.
Halfback Duke crashed over from
the two to make the count read
12-0, Blue.
With blood in their eyes, the
Orange men roared back to quick
revenge. Tucker was never more
outstanding as he ripped off several
nice runs and completed two
long passes. A 15-yard, Tucker-to-
Herb Jordan aerial carried the
ball to the Blue 30. From there,
Tucker hit Halfback Hataway
with another heave and the score
stood 12-6, Blue, at the end of the
first quarter.
The Blue team started another
drive at the opening of the second
canto as Halfback, Terry Kend-ricks
ripped off a first down.
Then, defensive Halfback Joe
Davis • nipped the attack in the
bud as he intercepted Spence's
pass in the flats and raced 30
yards for another Orange marker,
to tie the score 12-12.
• After the Blue offense failed
to move the big Orange forewall,
Spence, who did the punting for
both teams, punted over the goal
and the Orange team put the ball
*in play on the 20. A series of
short gains by Halfback Hataway
advanced the oval for a first
down. After two mildly-successful
running plays, Tucker drop-

ped back and threw a beautiful
60-yard pass to End Ridgway who
was downed on the" Blue two-yard
line. Tucker followed Center
Guy Bruce into the end zone
on the next play to put the
Orange team ahead, 18-12.
Spence then indulged in a
punting duel with himself as both
lines stiffened. The half ended
as Blue defensive Halfback Jimmy
Fullington intercepted Tucker's
pass and returned it 15 yards
to the Orange 40.
At the outset of the second half,
neither team could advance the
ball and Spence got off two beautiful
kicks. Taking over on their
own 20, the Orange team began
an all-out drive with its potent
ground attack. Hataway's 18-
yard run was nullified by a penalty
but Herb Jordan roared back
with a 15-yard gallop for the first
down. Hataway kept up his running
and got away for 30. Halfback
Bobby Jordan broke away
for 10 more. On fourth down,
Tucker's seven-yard run was just
short and the Blues took over.
After a series of runs by-Freeman
and Duke, the Blues had a
firsU.jilflWP on the Orange 40.
^ r o ^ W e r e , Fullback Williams
Took a Kahd-off from Spence and
alternately plowed and ran all
the way to tie the score 18 all.
The fourth quarter began with
Spence again kicking against
himself. Taking over on their 26
after an out-of bounds punt, the
Blues began a ground assault
with Williams, Duke, and Freeman
blasting through and around
the Orange line for multiple long
gains, Duke topped the drive with
his second counter of the day as
he scored from the three.
Tucker began to engineer another
Orange drive as he passed
to Hay ley for 15 and Ridgway for
20 but Bobby Duke, playing halfback
on the Blue defense, still
had scoring fever and pulled
down a Tucker aerial, tucked it
under his arm and threaded his
way 65 yards for this third touchdown
of the day. The score stood,
30-18, Blue.
After the Orange team failed
to advance the ball, the Blues
took- over and began another
ground assault. The advance had
just about bogged at midfield
when Freeman broke loose for a
50-yard touchdown gallop. When
this dash was nullified by an
offside penalty,. the Blue attack
petered out and the Oranges took
over.

With Joe Davis, as chief quar-tersmith,
the Orange squad moved
into scoring position. Davis
passed 15 yards to Halfback Vince
Dooley and 18 yards to Ridgway
during the drive but the tilt ended
with the ball on the«Blue'15.

A-DAY PREVIEW
Kokomo Says Parks' Blues Are Good;
Team's Backfield Talent Rated High
By Kokomo McArdle
Plainsman Sports Editor
Most of t h e A u b u r n spring practice followers have named
t h e big Orange squad headed by Ed Bauer the favorite in
Saturday's annual A-Day classic. The most popular reason
seems to be t h e slight weight and experience advantage held
by the Orange line, but take a look at the Blue's over-all
backfield talent.
Quarterback Allan Parks was
the best ball-handler on the
squad last fall, and before he
broke his leg, he had won for
himself a first string signal-calling
role. Parks is captaining the
Blues, Saturday, and though he
may pose no sensational passing
threat, his experienced ball-handling
will put to further advantage
the Blue's outstanding
running game.
Included in the array of sky-colored
ground-gainers are the
spring's "most pleasant surprises"
in bullish sophomore Herman Howard
and what Jordan has described
as Auburn's best broken

field runner in Sophomore Vince
Dooley. Add Right Half Robert
Duke and Fullbacks Homer Williams
and Charles Littles to the
list and the Blue offense shouldn't
be hurting. They will be the more
inexperienced, but on the whole
they have been Auburn's best
performers this spring.
As for the Blue forward wall,
the defense should overshadow
the offense. Most of the linemen
will see duty regardless of which
team has the ball, and since past
performances label most of the
Blue linemen as defensive specialists,
they should work more
efficiently without the ball.
End Bill McMurry, Tackle Sam
Hanks and Guard Foy Thompson
all three opened games at their
positions for Auburn last faH; so
the Blue line isn't entirelv without
experience. Tackle Bill Turnbeaugh,
a 240-pounder, is called
the best defensive lineman of the
spring. Sophomores Ed Duncan
and Ed Baker are tabbed very
good candidates for starting roles
next fall.
Here is this writer's evaluation
of the Blues as compared to the
Orange opposition.
Running—better
Passing—not as good
Blocking—not as good
Defensive line play—better
Punting—even
Pass defense—slight advantage
Albrilton Says 'Facts Are Fads;'
Orange Squad Has Big Line Edge
By Walter Albritton
Assistant Sports Editor
Even though it would seem logical to pick t h e Orange team
to win Saturday's annual classic, Coach Ralph J o r d a n has this
to say, "In picking t h e two squads, we t r i ed to make them as
even as possible, and it seems to me that the game could
very easily go to either team."
Facts are facts, however, and o n the two-yard line.
one cannot overlook the big fact
that the Orange squad has a definite
advantage in line experience
and depth, plus the ownership
of Jordan's ace passer, Quarterback
Bill Tucker.
Led by their captain, Ed "Foots"
Bauer, the Oranges boast an almost
entirely veteran line. Ends
Lee Hayley and Dave Ridgway
were both starters last year, and
Hayley led the Auburn flankmen
with the most passes caught during
the 1950 season.
Starting tackles Gene Mulhall
and Joe "Humphrey" Tiburzi both
regulars last year, will receive
added help from giant Don Rogers,
Jimmy Whatley and Bobby
Griffin, all sophomores.
Opposite Bauer on the left side
of center Guy Bruce will be the
only member of the Orange forward
wall who has not lettered,
Clyde McSween, who as a sophomore
has won for himself a starting
berth at the guard slot.
Another decided edge that the
Oranges hold over the Blues is
found in aerial artist Tucker, who
in 1949 had the big job of taking
over in Travis Tidwell's place.
Tucker has developed into a top-notch
passer in the last two years
and his throwing arm will mean
much to the Oranges. In practice
of late, he has been heaving the
pigskin with deadly aim; in last
Saturday's pre-A-Day practice
scrimmage, he tossed a long one
to Ridgway which went for sixty
yards and set up an Orange TD
Halfbacks Charles Hataway and
letterman Bobby Golden give the
Orange squad two of the hardest
driving scatbacks of both teams.
Perhaps no other player has caused
Coach Jordan to smile more
than has Troy's gift to the Plains,
sophomore Hataway. The bullish
187-pounder has impressed Jordan
most with his tank-like running
and the fact that he doesn't
mind running right over a would-be
tackier when he can't get
around him. In fact, to spectators
it looks as though Hataway prefers
to go over rather than around
his opponents.
Rounding out the Orange back-field
is Bob Burns, another of the
surprising group of sophomores
who are making strong bids for
first string positions. Burns is a
powerful runner, who makes up
for his lack of speed by his pile-driving
line plunges. The big
bruiser also subs as linebacker,
where his bone-crushing tackles
terrorize opponents. Burns will
get considerable help from other j
fullback Oranges Jack Langfordj
and Phil Gonzales.
Here is my analysis of the
Orange team in comparison with
the Blues:
Passing—better
Running—fairly even
Defensive line play—not as
good
Blocking—same
Punting—much weaker
LOST—Shaeffer Fountain Pen.

Prof. Arthur Crafts, Avid Tiger Fan,
Once Played Professional Baseball
By John Schermer
Two very widely separated fields, physics and sports,
have been tied together into an unusual combination of interests
by Professor Arthur G. Crafts, assistant professor of
physics
Professor Crafts received his M.
S. in physics from C o r n e ll
University, and after teaching in
navy pre-flight programs at the
University of Georgia and North
Carolina University and in various
V-5 programs, he decided to make
it his life's work. Here at Auburn
Professor Crafts teaches physics
204 and 207, coursqs designed primarily
for students in courses requiring
a knowledge of the practical
applications of physics.
Professor Crafts' interest in
sports stems from his undergraduate
days at the University of
Georgia. He called to mind the
strong Auburn teams of the '20s
when, as he put it, "Auburn was
Georgia's most hated and most
feared foe." He played semi-pro
ball for a time with the Dublin,
Ga., team, and thus his sporting
interests definitely lean toward the
diamond. "I like to make all the
Auburn games," he said. Far from

being confined only to baseball,
Professor Crafts is enthusiastic
about all the spectator sports at
Auburn. His feeling toward sports
can best be summed up by his
statement, "I like ball."
A calm, quiet-mannered gentleman,
Professor Crafts stands six
feet three, and has thus become
just plain "Shorty" to the vast majority
of his students. His classes
have been described as possessing
that rare quality which enlivens a
student's interest in even the
drier subjects.
Professor Crafts, being a physicist,
usually gets around to atomic
power in a conversation. "I imagine
I take a rather conservative
view," he said, "but I think we
should work toward developing
more constructive uses for atomic
power. Such a powerful source of
energy, if harnessed, could "be
adapted to be one of man's greatest
helpers rather than a destructive
force."
Before coming to Auburn in
1944, Professor Crafts taught at
the University of Georgia, Lehigh
University, North Carolina University
and in various V-5 and
navy pre-flight programs. Having
an excellent background in the
naval sciences, he attended the
naval academy as a midshipman,
served in World War I, and held a
reserve commission until 1930.
. All in all, Professor Crafts is an
enthusiastic Auburn fan; one who
follows with rabid interest the
success or failures of the various
teams and is still hoping for that
unbeaten season.

Georgia Bulldogs
Topple Tigers. 8-4
In First Of Set
The Georgia Bulldogs combined
nine hits with six Auburn errors
last week to hand the Tigers
an 8-4 setback. Righthander Sonny
Shealy limited the Plainsmen
to eight hits in bettering the joint
mound efforts of Bill Letchworth
and George Hill.
Auburn held the upper hand
for five frames until the Bulldog
bats began to boom. The Georgians
tagged Hill for four runs in
the eighth inning, an inning that
saw three Tiger miscues. Jack
Roberts led the Georgia stick attack
with two doubles and a single
in four trips to the plate. Catcher
Dick Dozier had two singles in
four tries.
Centerfielder Julian Mock, two
for two, and Second Baseman Dick
Webb, two for five, paced the Auburn
stick work. Mock entered
the game as the top Auburn batsman,
boasting a lusty .388 average.
The loss was Auburn's sixth of
the S.E.C. campaign against only
two wins. The Georgia won-lost
mark now stands at 5-8.
Tuesday's Tiger-Dog tilt wound
up the diamond rivalry between
the two teams. Only six more
conference engagements remain
on the Auburn slate.

Whip Opelika, 12-2
Auburn's freshman baseball
team blasted out a 12-2 victory
over Opelika High School last
Wednesday afternoon as righthander
Bill "Whip" Johnston, Do-than,
pitched six full innings of
two-hit ball to gain his first mound
triumph of the year.
Chet Samson, another right-handed
artist, came in to relieve
Johnston in the seventh. Samson
pitched credible ball during the
remaining three stanzas, giving up
only one run on one hit.
Coach Edward "Red" Whitsett's
boys journeyed up to the University
of Alabama Monday to
meet the Capstone frosh in a two-game
set. The young Tifeer team
takes with it a season record of
two wins and no losses, having
previously defeated Lanett, 10-0.
The high flying 20-man squad
is next slated to meet Lanett in
a return game. Fire-baller Buck
Bradberry, labeled by Coach
Whitsett as the best young hurl-er
he's seen in a number of years,
pitched the Baby Tigers to their
first conquest, giving up only two
scratch singles as he went the full
route; Bradberry will likely face
the Lanett high schoolers again.

Tiger Netmen Capture
Season's First Win,
Defeat Maroons, 4-3
Auburn's Tennis Team closed
out the reguar season last Saturday
when they conquered the
Mississippi State Maroons 4-3.
The Tigers had previously lost to
the State netters by a similar
count.
Winning for the Plainsmen
were Buck Sawyer, J. C. Sellers,
and Frank Barker in singles competition
while the fourth point
was added by the doubles duo
of Kenneth White and Bobby
Struck.
the Tiger frosh is Inman "Kook"
Veal, who is currently setting a
rigid slugging pace at a .692 clip.
Veal holds down the shortstop
post and is considered perhaps the
best infielder on the squad.
Other power hitters are Rupert
Long, who got a triple against
Opelika; Donald Pair, who has
two doubles to his credit, and second
baseman Skeeter Hale, who
slapped out a pair of singles in
the first tangle.

Auburn Nine Fails To Tromp Alabama
An Auburn baseball team still
couldn't beat an Alabama baseball
team as late as Monday afternoon,
but it took the Tide 10
innings to prove their point in
the series opener.
George Howell, 'Bama third
sacker doubled home Leon Adair
with the winning run as the Tide
dumped the Tigers, 6-5. Auburn
had knotted the count in the bottom
of the eighth with a two-run
burst off Alabama reliefer Al
Lary.
Auburn starter George Hill and
Tide starter Allan Worthington
weren't around at the finish.
Hoehle took over for Auburn in
the seventh inning and received
the loss.
The game featured light hitting
and sloppy fielding by both
teams. Each had seven hits and
five errors.
Left Fielder Ed Lary, with two
for six and four runs batted in,
supplemented the clutch hitting
of Howell. Left Fielder Vince
Robison led the Tigers with two
singles in five trips.
The loss was Auburn's seventh
in the S.E.C. against four .wins.
It was Alabama's tenth win'
against three setbacks.
The Tigers meet Birmingham-
Southern, Wednesday afternoon
in the Magic City; then journey
to Gainesville for a pair of games
with the Florida 'Gators on Friday
and Saturday.

That Discriminatory Clause It seems to us that every time we pick up one of our Associated Collegiate Press news releases (containing news reports from college campuses across the nation) we see another editorial excerpt dealing with the fraternity system and its discriminatory clause which restricts membership on racial and/or religious grounds. It would appear that this question is one of the most controversial of all those currently under discussion on today's college campuses, particularly in the North. At present, The Daily Northwestern is conducting a strong campaign to cajole N. U. fraternities into doing away with discriminatory clauses. The Tufts Weekly' and the Colgate Maroon are carrying on similar campaigns, as are a number of other college papers. And; the Interfrat-ernity Council at Michigan State College has given campus fraternities five years to remove discriminatory clauses from their constitutions. If the "chapters fail to comply with the ruling, their charters will be revoked. All this talk causes us to wonder just where it all is leading. As for our stand on the question, we wholeheartedly endorse the desire to see the discriminatory clause, contained in most fraternity constitutions, be abolished. To us, the clause is obviously undemocratic. However, we wonder just how much has been accomplished if the clause is stricken. Has it fostered better inter-racial and inter-creed relations? Has it insured admittance of qualified persons regardless of race or creed? Obviously not. Although abolishing the clause would be a step in the right direction, it is not a cure-all. It appears to us that some of the campaigners for the removal of the clause have lost sight of that fact. With the clause gone, the only barrier 'Cotton Tom' Heflin Simple funeral services held last week marked the termination of one of the most colorful careers in Southern political history. In unpretentious ceremonies, "Cotton Tom" Heflin was laid away like the proverbial lamb—he had lived like the lion. Always good copy, Heflin in his final act—the most colorless of all—^received front page coverage in many newspapers, including such foreign papers as the New York Times and Washington Post. Even in death, this octogenarian was news, for few people who either knew, or knew of, him, will soon forget the colorful raconteur who was once the most controversial figure in Southern politics. "Cotton Tom" was the first Southern dissenter to bolt the National Democratic Party, doing so in protest of the nomination of Al Smith for the presidency. As a result of his stumping against the party candidate, Heflin soon found himself a politician without political office. However, he didn't fall into the limbo reserved for politicians in enforced retirement. Instead, he refused to "fade away" and continued to be heard from until his death although hp never again conducted a Fade-Away... But When? Like many other interested persons, we're still waiting for the promised Mac- Arthur fade-away. He has told us that he doesn't plan to die but right now, we'd like to know when he plans to fade away. Certainly, there was nothing of a retiring nature in the parade through Chicago' last week. In fact, we wonder just how pretentious one man can get. For a time, we were inclined to attribute MacArthur's gaudy showmanship of . late to his well-known delusions of grand-that has been removed is the constitutional limitation. Prejudices and rock-bound traditions remain. These too, must be removed before any real advances in human relationships can be made. To that end, one cannot legislate, one must educate. We feel that, sooner or later, virtually all fraternities will strike the discriminatory clause out of their constitutions. This would appear a necessary eventuality due •to the large amount of agitation for it and the lack of adequate logical support of the clause's retention. •. However, after the clause is removed, what next? The individual chapters will still choose their own men. Religious stipulations, as evidenced by groups constitutionally restricted to Christians or Hebrews, have often been overlooked in fraternity pledging, but racial considerations pose another problem. One must realize that equality of races .has not shown any adaptability to. being legislatively- imposed. Scores of interfrater- "nity council' edicts cannot provide relief of racial tension or an abolition of discrimination. The U.S. Constitution has not accomplished this. .So, rather than their crying, "clause, clause, who's got the clause?," we'd prefer to see the papers present unemotional, rational appeals to the individual's innate sense of justice on all matters involving human relations. For, observance of the principles of brotherhood is an individual concern and such being the case, individuals must be educated through sound, moral, humanitarian teaching. When this is accomplished, prospective fraternity members will be considered on individual merit, with no thought given race or creed. Then, the discriminatory clause will take care of itself and disappear sans furore. successful campaign for public office. "Cotton Tom" was a typical Southern politician in many ways but in one respect he was rather unique: he didn't avoid issues. On a question, controversial or no, he took a stand and stuck to it. He was a near-violent champion of "King Cotton,^ and white supremacy and • the like. And, he made no bones about his bitter hatreds and prejudices. It was his opposition to "the mass hysteria called Roman Catholicism" that caused him to bolt from the Democratic Party which nominated Catholic Smith for president. He was just as eloquent when asked his opinion of the Dixiecrat walkout of 1948— the first "bolter" sided with the national party. Taken as a whole, his career is one which makes for interesting study, for he was not a man to be ignored. Had we been his contemporary during his active. campaign days, we'd have disagreed with him on many things that he fought for, but we' hardly see how we could have helped being attracted by his personal magnetism. For, he was color personified^in Southern, politics and-when he died, no cub reporter wrote his obit. There Is A Wild Tale About Nona, Who Wore A Black Chltton Kimono eur, but it appears that it's time for the general either to keep his promise or begin to render service to his country as he did before he arrogated to himself the making of national policy. This is the time for national unity and if the general is to play the role of the Great American he apparently considers himself to be, he must cease this overt self-promotion which has an obvious negative effect on national unity. If not, we hope he expedites the fade-away. ""Auburn Plainsman Published weekly by the students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

America Argues While India Starves; MacArthur-Truman Facts Are Quoted By Jim Jennings Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama Subscription rates by mail: $1.00 for 3 months, $3.00 for 12 months While America argues over Far Eastern foreign policy and divides itself into Truman and MacArthur camps that appear to be considering the situation less from the point of view of the facts involved than from the standpoint of partisan politics, India, the greatest of Middle Eastern powers, faces a famine apparently without at- man had issued a directive that: "Officials overseas, including military commanders and diplomatic representatives, should be ordered to exercise extreme caution in public statements, to clear all but routine statements with their departments and to refrain from direct communication on military or foreign policy with newspapers, magazines, or other publicity media in the United States. "General Whitney, speaking for General MacArthur: "The directive of December 6 was not directed to General Mac- Arthur personally but was directed to all executive agencies of the government. Immediately after its receipt, General Mac- Arthur submitted a proposed communique to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who informed him among other things that it was not necessary to submit communiques referencing military operations. * * * "On March 24 (Washington date—it was March 25 in Tokyo), General MacArthur issued a statement saying: "Within the area of my authority as military commander . . . I stand ready at any time to confer in the field with the commander in chief of the enemy forces. That same day, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a message to the General saying: "The President has directed that . . . any further statements by you must be co-ordinated as prescribed in the order of 6 December . . . in the event Communist military leaders request an armistice in the field, you immediately report that fact to JCS for instructions. "General Whitney later said: "The General has interpreted . . . his statement of March 24 . . . as dealing exclusively with the military situation and within the tracting attention or concern. Months ago India appealed to the United States for aid. Legislation which would have provided this aid has been bogged down in Congress in a proverbial maze of "red tape" and lack of interest. Aid for India is an issue which lacks the color and drama that can be associated with Congressional 'investigations of crime in the United States or of Senator McCarthy's wild, unfounded c h a r g e s of communists in the State De-p a r t m e n t. It does not have the hero worship a p p e al that can be associated w i th MacArthur nor can it be considered an issue on which a major partisan split could be developed. It is not at the present time causing the death of American boys. It is simply an issue that involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. It is simply an issue that could conceiveably bring a breakdown of the entire Indian economy. It is bogged down deep in a proverbial maze of Congressional "red tapis" while people argue over Far Eastern policy .and divide themselves into partisan camps on the basis of hero worship and political advantage. * * * The following is quoted from a recent issue of U.S. News and World Report entitled "Facts Behind the MacArthur-Truman Mix-Up." "The U. S. Joint Chiefs cf Staff sent a message to General MacArthur in Tokyo December 6 saying that President Tru- Jennings Of All Things By Jim Raulston Auburn has long been known as one of the friendliest schools in the country. Visitors from all parts' of the world have gone away praising the sincerity of the students in their mutual respect for one another. It is still that way and we''all are very much aware of it, but recently it was pointed out to me by an alumnus tha't sometimes a visitor leaves with an opinion opposite that which we would like him to have. By this . he was referring to the rivalry between the schools. All of us are aware of the remarks that are made by men in one school belittling those in another. The ^engineers make un-ffair remarks about the architects and building construction people, and many others joke about the students in business administration. In short, many of us are guilty of making unfair and misleading remarks concerning our fellow students in schools other than our own. We, of course, mean them as jokes and don't intend them to be taken seriously, but • a visitor could easily get a different meaning from them. All of us are striving, directly or indirectly, for a "Greater Auburn." In doing this it is important that we respect each other and realize that a man in one school is contributing as much to make the ultimate goal as another. Man is dependent upon his fellow man throughout life. This is no serious criticism, because the harm done is negligible, but it is worth while to _think it over and see what effect it could have in some cases. It's just a passing thought, but why not realize our dependence on each other and give credit where it is due? Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: During my eight months' stay here in the city of Auburn, I have noticed the complex parking problem that exists from day to .day in our fair city. Therefore, I consider it my duty as a private citizen, to have my say regarding this parking problem. Here I wish to make the assertion that "Our m e t e r parking system should be completely reorganized." And to- back up my assertion, I will give facts and figures as proof that our present meter system should be reorganized. Firstly, the main purpose of our meter system is to keep traffic moving and in order to do this more efficiently, we should exchange our present two-hour meters for one-hour meters, thus cutting down by one hour the total time a car could be parked at one spot. Since the total population of Auburn exceeds the 12,000 mark; since the business area of our city is small in comparison with our population, and since we have a limited number of meters (100 to be exact) to serve the public, we would give more cars a chance to park by cutting down on the two-hour parking limit. Then, instead of having one car stay parked two hours, we would have two cars parked one hour each. Consequently we would cause an increase of traffic movement by a little less, than fifty per cent. Secondly, we have in our present meter parking system, a . joker, whereby a qualified candidate can obtain, for a fee of six dollars a month, a special parking sticker to be placed upon the windshield of his auto. This sticker gives the holder the privilege of staying parked all day in front of one meter. Now, the qualifications necessary to obtaining one of the stickers are simple. First, you must be in business. Second, you must use your vehicle for some type of delivery service. The latter of the two qualifications has a loophole which is that. regardless of the type of business a person may be engaged in, the owner can claim that he uses his auto in connection with his business, thereby obtaining a sticker. Since there are 181 licensed business establishments within the city limits of Auburn and only 100 parking meters, you can readily see what could happen if (Continued on page 5) area of his uncontested authority to speak." * * * The above-quoted article also contained facts concerning the letter written to House Republican Leader Joe Martin and concerning arming of the South Koreans. In all cases it seems to this writer that MacArthur stepped over his bounds. VS*?**'' *««««>?••«'*••«!»w ft?v?S'?$3 !>.%:" Well Chambless, what now?

Nor, did I complain when, pleas of the Anti-Vivisection League notwithstanding, scientists wrung out a hog's pituitary gland and used the hormone contained therein to grow hair on bald rats, bellowing that the hormone may possibly sprout hirsute adornments on chrome-domed human beings as well.

Science Fiction magazine, not to be outdone, recently turned psychologist in an effort to determine if New Yorkers were as blase and sophisticated as they seem. The idea was to send out to roam the downtown streets a man—a grown man—with an eerie green complexion, a winged silver helment, green tights and a flying saucer insignia on his chest, just to see how the public reacted. Only eight persons stopped to ask who or what the spectacle might be. One of the few curious ones, when told by a reporter that he was the Man from Mars, exclaimed with relief, "Oh, I thought maybe the guy was a lunatic!" With all this, worthwhile or useless, I found no fault—it was legitimate. Scientists were concerned with things of science, and I was concerned with finding no fault with them, and everybody was, if not happy, at least in his chosen field. Then I read this paragraph, tucked slyly into a newspaper column, and it made me so disgusted with scientists that I threw away the Boy Wonder Chemicraft set I had got for my birthday, Pyrex text tubes and all: "When your wife says she'll be ready 'in a jiffy' you can hold a stop-watch on her and find out how many 'jiffies' she really takes . . . To physicists, 'jiffy' is now the accepted term for the time it takes a light wave to travel one centimeter, .0000000000- 33357ths of a second." Now see here, scientists, haven't you gone a little too far? Next thing we uneducated folk know, you'll be wanting to be crowned Queen of the May. Can't we poor but honest non-scientists have anything of our own? Can you remember back to the pre-Atom-ic Age days, or is your brain too cluttered with thoughts of light waves traveling one centimeter and of electric ray fish knocking men down? Back in „them days, when men were men and scientists still had plenty of things to invent, Websters New International Dictionary had this to say about the item in question: "Jif-fy, n.; pi., jiffies. (Origin unknown). A moment; . an instant; as I will go in a jiffy." See? Brief, but sufficient. Clear and easy to understand. Black ink on white paper, reading from left to right. Jiffy. No light waves traveling a centimeter, nor even a millimeter, nor even a trilli-meter. Sure times have changed. But as you trip lightly over the Meadows of. Knowledge, can't you leave something for the laymen? Seems as if there'd be enough to keep you busy in your own field. With Armageddon coming up, you guys should be working day and night on an omni-destructive weapon to rid the earth of the Forces of Good or of Evil, whichever side you're against. Howzabout staying within the Realm of Science? Leave our jiffies (n.; pi.) be! ' 'Alabama Farmer' Is Source Of Info For Agrarians And Home-Makers By John Schermer From a school with such an extensive agriculture plant as is at Auburn, one would naturally expect to find some source through which information could be dispensed to farmers, county agents, housewives, and students of agriculture. Such an informative publication is the Alabama Farmer, a monthly magazine sponsored by the Ag Council. The Alabama- Farmer is the outgrowth of the efforts of the Ag journalism class of '21, which chipped in on an Eberhard Faber from Burton's, dug up an old typewriter, and started printing • what was to become one of the most prominent college agriculture magazines. The Farmer attempts to impart a practical knowledge of the most recent developments and advances in the field of agriculture. Information is funneled in from Ag Hill research and experimental discoveries. Also, information is received from large agricultural, .industrial, and machinery firms •^telling of their latest discoveries and new products based on them. A section of the magazine is devoted to news from the home economics department. This section is designed to be of help to the housewife and contains articles of interest on such subjects as meal-planning, sewing, and helpful hints on house-keeping. The magazine itself, usually • runs around 16 pages, and it has a circulation of well over a thousand. Though primarily a student publication, it also presents many articles, features and news stories of interest to Alabama's farmers. John Parish, a senior in agriculture from Headland, is the present editor of the Farmer. Walter Weatherly, junior from Ft. Payne, is business manager. Frank McDonald, Monrovia, and Lucile May, Roanoke, are associate editors. Formerly sponsored by the ag journalism class, the Farmer is now under the sponsorship of the Ag Council, which appoints a board of directors to guide and advise the workings of the magazine. Offices are located on the third floor of Comer Hall. It ,is here that the Farmer is assembled— from a scattering of information to a well-coordinated agricultural magazine, read by men interested in agriculture all over the state. Auburn Rifle Club Purpose Stated The purpose of the Auburn Rifle Club, which was founded late last quarter, is to aid in the progress of and to promote interest in marksmanship at Alabama Institute. Membership in this organization is open to those students who actively fire on the ROTC or varsity rifle team, and to those who have fired on either of these teams previously. Recently elected officers for the remainder of the scholastic 'FARMER' EDITOR AND BUSINESS MANAGER STAFF HEADS of the Alabama Farmer are John Parrish, left, editor, and Walter Weatherly, business manager. Parrish is a senior from Headland, and Weatherly is a junior from Fort Payn§. year are D. C. Oppen, president; Joe Clem, vice-president,' and C. J. Fricke, secretary.. The club has competed in matches with such schools as Johns Hopkins, Penn State, LSU, Michigan State, Marion, and the University of Kentucky. Scoring is done in a manner which sees the score cards of the match participants sent to . the national headquarters where they are compared to determine the winner of the match. In this manner more than two schools can compete in matches, and eliminate any traveling costs** which may be incurred otherwise. Auburn Canterburians Attend Annual Meeting Auburn Canterburians attended the annual convention of the Canterbury Club of the Diocese of Alabama the week end of April 21.

Finch Dear Editor: I would like to congratulate Kelly Burke and his Drives Committee on the fine work they have done and are doing toward eliminating those unsightly dirt paths. I feel that we students here at Auburn have long needed an awakening in this respect. The very fact that dirt paths have been formed, however, is an indication that the routes afforded by the paved walkways are in many cases out of the way or poorly-placed. Is any move being made toward paving at least those which get heavy traffic? Kelly, and fellows, you've done a swell job of closing both ends of most of those eyesores with your little signs, but at the rate grass grows it will be quite a good while befoi-e they are again green.

WEST GLENN MEADOWS GARAGE PHONE 29 Kokomo V Korner By Bill McArdle A-DAY AGAIN It's A-Day again and the Loveliest Village will be readying itself for the alumni overflow that will pour in before kick-off time at 2 p.m. Saturday. Loyal Tiger grid fans and the state sportswriters will be searching Cliff Hare Stadium for evidence of a different Auburn football machine. It has been a long time since the S.E.C.'s most spirited alumni and student group has had a football squad with a success anywhere comparable to the enthusiasm of-its grid patrons. Coach Jordan and his staff probably have never worked harder over a six-week period than they have the last half dozen weeks. There is no doubt that this holds true for the players. Some observers describe the drills as Wal-ly Butts-styled, while others compare them to Jack Meagher. One thing is for sure—they've been rough, tough workouts. Probably as interested as anyone else watching the action Saturday, will be scouts from Van-derbilt, with whom the Tigers open the season next September 29. The Commodores have their spring training game this week, too. It's a good bet Vandy will not go unobserved by Auburn eyes. Auburn has been less successful with Vanderbilt than any other team on the Tiger schedule; so the opener here next fall will pose a two-^fold test. DISCUS JAMES CHAUNCEY WOOD S.E.C. THREAT Auburn dash-man Chauncey Wood is establishing himself as a threat to the conference 100-yard dash championship this year. The Tiger alternate captain is unbeaten in the 100 as far as dual meet competition goes. Wood has cut his time for the century by two-tenths of a second in each of the last two meets. He ran :10.2 against Mississippi State, :10 flat against Alabama, and last v/eek :9.8 44/5 against Florida. He failed to finish first in the 220 for the first time when he 'Skipper7 Heard From Jimmy Coleman, the Auburn sports publicist turned cattle farmer, isn't turning out the copy for deserving athletes any more.

The reason for this is that Dillion has consistently hurled the discus farther than the SEC record distance for the past two years and is expected to officially crack the record at the annual conference meet. Dillion is also a consistent point-maker in the shot-put and javelin, having soundly beaten Bama's Carl Shields, SEC champion shot-putter, in the recent dual meet between the two schools.

No extra-point tries were made and in lieu of kickoffs, the receiving squad put the ball in play, first-and-ten, on their own 30 yard line. Otherwise, last week's tilt was a regulation contest. "Breaks" accounted for and Get up a number of the touchdowns in the tilt which was characterized • by shifty, hard-running backs. In Saturday's play, it appeared that the Blue team had a slight edge with respect to running attack as the pile-driving plunges of Fullbacks Herman Howard and Homer Williams, and the IF Vol ley bailers Continue Loop Play Interfraternity volleyball play continued last week, resulting in loop leadership for Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Nu, Alpha Psi, and Theta Chi in their respective leagues. Last week's results were: Kappa Alpha over Alpha Gamma Rho; TKE over Kappa Sigma; ATO over SPE; Theta Chi over Lambda Chi; PiKA over Sigma Chi; Alpha Psi over SAE; Sigma . „ ,' break-away running of THj a,l,f,b, ac,k s Nu over OTS, and Pi Kappa Phi Bobby Freeman and Bobby Duke o v er drew many plaudits from the spectators. For the Orange team it was the running and passing of Quarterback Billy Tucker, the running of Halfbacks Charles Hataway and Herbert Jordan, plus the pass-receiving of 'Hataway and End Dave Ridgway that sparked a spotty, but brilliant attack. In the line, individual brilliance was hard to single out as both forewalls charged a nd blocked well. For the Blues, Tackles Herb Nobles and Bill Turnbeaugh showed up well and in the Orange line—which was missing Captain Bauer, who was in Florida for a track meet along with Blue Captain Parks—Tackles Gene Mulhall and over-anxious Joe Tiburzi looked good. The intra-squad preview was a see-saw affair. The Blues took an early lead on a 70-yard drive. Quarterback Dudley Spence passed 15 yards to Halfback Freeman to get the drive rolling. From then on it was Fullback Howard on the inside and Freeman on the outside as the Blue ground attack picked up momentum. Freeman's plunge over from the two climaxed the thrust and the score was BIue-6', Orange 0. " " &$*&& The Orange squad took over and Tucker, back to pass and unable to locate a receiver, got away for a 20-y a r d break through the whole Blue team. A fumble cut this drive short and the Blues took over, moving into scoring position again on a brilliant 35-yard sprint by Freeman. Halfback Duke crashed over from the two to make the count read 12-0, Blue. With blood in their eyes, the Orange men roared back to quick revenge. Tucker was never more outstanding as he ripped off several nice runs and completed two long passes. A 15-yard, Tucker-to- Herb Jordan aerial carried the ball to the Blue 30. From there, Tucker hit Halfback Hataway with another heave and the score stood 12-6, Blue, at the end of the first quarter. The Blue team started another drive at the opening of the second canto as Halfback, Terry Kend-ricks ripped off a first down. Then, defensive Halfback Joe Davis • nipped the attack in the bud as he intercepted Spence's pass in the flats and raced 30 yards for another Orange marker, to tie the score 12-12. • After the Blue offense failed to move the big Orange forewall, Spence, who did the punting for both teams, punted over the goal and the Orange team put the ball *in play on the 20. A series of short gains by Halfback Hataway advanced the oval for a first down. After two mildly-successful running plays, Tucker drop- FROM PITCH-OUT TO POLE-VAULT ^M&t* ped back and threw a beautiful 60-yard pass to End Ridgway who was downed on the" Blue two-yard line. Tucker followed Center Guy Bruce into the end zone on the next play to put the Orange team ahead, 18-12. Spence then indulged in a punting duel with himself as both lines stiffened. The half ended as Blue defensive Halfback Jimmy Fullington intercepted Tucker's pass and returned it 15 yards to the Orange 40. At the outset of the second half, neither team could advance the ball and Spence got off two beautiful kicks. Taking over on their own 20, the Orange team began an all-out drive with its potent ground attack. Hataway's 18- yard run was nullified by a penalty but Herb Jordan roared back with a 15-yard gallop for the first down. Hataway kept up his running and got away for 30. Halfback Bobby Jordan broke away for 10 more. On fourth down, Tucker's seven-yard run was just short and the Blues took over. After a series of runs by-Freeman and Duke, the Blues had a firsU.jilflWP on the Orange 40. ^ r o ^ W e r e , Fullback Williams Took a Kahd-off from Spence and alternately plowed and ran all the way to tie the score 18 all. The fourth quarter began with Spence again kicking against himself. Taking over on their 26 after an out-of bounds punt, the Blues began a ground assault with Williams, Duke, and Freeman blasting through and around the Orange line for multiple long gains, Duke topped the drive with his second counter of the day as he scored from the three. Tucker began to engineer another Orange drive as he passed to Hay ley for 15 and Ridgway for 20 but Bobby Duke, playing halfback on the Blue defense, still had scoring fever and pulled down a Tucker aerial, tucked it under his arm and threaded his way 65 yards for this third touchdown of the day. The score stood, 30-18, Blue. After the Orange team failed to advance the ball, the Blues took- over and began another ground assault. The advance had just about bogged at midfield when Freeman broke loose for a 50-yard touchdown gallop. When this dash was nullified by an offside penalty,. the Blue attack petered out and the Oranges took over. 0 With Joe Davis, as chief quar-tersmith, the Orange squad moved into scoring position. Davis passed 15 yards to Halfback Vince Dooley and 18 yards to Ridgway during the drive but the tilt ended with the ball on the«Blue'15. ALLAN PARKS, part-time quarterback pole-vaulter for Auburn teams this year, clears the bar at 12 feet, six inches to garner first place in the Auburn-Alabama dual meet held at Hare Stadium last week. (A.P.I, photo by Barton Perry) A-DAY PREVIEW Kokomo Says Parks' Blues Are Good; Team's Backfield Talent Rated High By Kokomo McArdle Plainsman Sports Editor Most of t h e A u b u r n spring practice followers have named t h e big Orange squad headed by Ed Bauer the favorite in Saturday's annual A-Day classic. The most popular reason seems to be t h e slight weight and experience advantage held by the Orange line, but take a look at the Blue's over-all backfield talent. Quarterback Allan Parks was the best ball-handler on the squad last fall, and before he broke his leg, he had won for himself a first string signal-calling role. Parks is captaining the Blues, Saturday, and though he may pose no sensational passing threat, his experienced ball-handling will put to further advantage the Blue's outstanding running game. Included in the array of sky-colored ground-gainers are the spring's "most pleasant surprises" in bullish sophomore Herman Howard and what Jordan has described as Auburn's best broken Sflti oliifriMipi WRWHTZTDITSON DAVIS CUP RACKETS OET THE MOST RK5IO TESTS.

A-DAY PREVIEW field runner in Sophomore Vince Dooley. Add Right Half Robert Duke and Fullbacks Homer Williams and Charles Littles to the list and the Blue offense shouldn't be hurting. They will be the more inexperienced, but on the whole they have been Auburn's best performers this spring. As for the Blue forward wall, the defense should overshadow the offense. Most of the linemen will see duty regardless of which team has the ball, and since past performances label most of the Blue linemen as defensive specialists, they should work more efficiently without the ball. End Bill McMurry, Tackle Sam Hanks and Guard Foy Thompson all three opened games at their positions for Auburn last faH; so the Blue line isn't entirelv without experience. Tackle Bill Turnbeaugh, a 240-pounder, is called the best defensive lineman of the spring. Sophomores Ed Duncan and Ed Baker are tabbed very good candidates for starting roles next fall. Here is this writer's evaluation of the Blues as compared to the Orange opposition. Running—better Passing—not as good Blocking—not as good Defensive line play—better Punting—even Pass defense—slight advantage Albrilton Says 'Facts Are Fads;' Orange Squad Has Big Line Edge By Walter Albritton Assistant Sports Editor Even though it would seem logical to pick t h e Orange team to win Saturday's annual classic, Coach Ralph J o r d a n has this to say, "In picking t h e two squads, we t r i ed to make them as even as possible, and it seems to me that the game could very easily go to either team." Facts are facts, however, and o n the two-yard line. one cannot overlook the big fact that the Orange squad has a definite advantage in line experience and depth, plus the ownership of Jordan's ace passer, Quarterback Bill Tucker. Led by their captain, Ed "Foots" Bauer, the Oranges boast an almost entirely veteran line. Ends Lee Hayley and Dave Ridgway were both starters last year, and Hayley led the Auburn flankmen with the most passes caught during the 1950 season. Starting tackles Gene Mulhall and Joe "Humphrey" Tiburzi both regulars last year, will receive added help from giant Don Rogers, Jimmy Whatley and Bobby Griffin, all sophomores. Opposite Bauer on the left side of center Guy Bruce will be the only member of the Orange forward wall who has not lettered, Clyde McSween, who as a sophomore has won for himself a starting berth at the guard slot. Another decided edge that the Oranges hold over the Blues is found in aerial artist Tucker, who in 1949 had the big job of taking over in Travis Tidwell's place. Tucker has developed into a top-notch passer in the last two years and his throwing arm will mean much to the Oranges. In practice of late, he has been heaving the pigskin with deadly aim; in last Saturday's pre-A-Day practice scrimmage, he tossed a long one to Ridgway which went for sixty yards and set up an Orange TD Halfbacks Charles Hataway and letterman Bobby Golden give the Orange squad two of the hardest driving scatbacks of both teams. Perhaps no other player has caused Coach Jordan to smile more than has Troy's gift to the Plains, sophomore Hataway. The bullish 187-pounder has impressed Jordan most with his tank-like running and the fact that he doesn't mind running right over a would-be tackier when he can't get around him. In fact, to spectators it looks as though Hataway prefers to go over rather than around his opponents. Rounding out the Orange back-field is Bob Burns, another of the surprising group of sophomores who are making strong bids for first string positions. Burns is a powerful runner, who makes up for his lack of speed by his pile-driving line plunges. The big bruiser also subs as linebacker, where his bone-crushing tackles terrorize opponents. Burns will get considerable help from other j fullback Oranges Jack Langfordj and Phil Gonzales. Here is my analysis of the Orange team in comparison with the Blues: Passing—better Running—fairly even Defensive line play—not as good Blocking—same Punting—much weaker LOST—Shaeffer Fountain Pen.

College L Prof. Arthur Crafts, Avid Tiger Fan, Once Played Professional Baseball By John Schermer Two very widely separated fields, physics and sports, have been tied together into an unusual combination of interests by Professor Arthur G. Crafts, assistant professor of physics Professor Crafts received his M. S. in physics from C o r n e ll University, and after teaching in navy pre-flight programs at the University of Georgia and North Carolina University and in various V-5 programs, he decided to make it his life's work. Here at Auburn Professor Crafts teaches physics 204 and 207, coursqs designed primarily for students in courses requiring a knowledge of the practical applications of physics. Professor Crafts' interest in sports stems from his undergraduate days at the University of Georgia. He called to mind the strong Auburn teams of the '20s when, as he put it, "Auburn was Georgia's most hated and most feared foe." He played semi-pro ball for a time with the Dublin, Ga., team, and thus his sporting interests definitely lean toward the diamond. "I like to make all the Auburn games," he said.

HILL being confined only to baseball, Professor Crafts is enthusiastic about all the spectator sports at Auburn. His feeling toward sports can best be summed up by his statement, "I like ball." A calm, quiet-mannered gentleman, Professor Crafts stands six feet three, and has thus become just plain "Shorty" to the vast majority of his students. His classes have been described as possessing that rare quality which enlivens a student's interest in even the drier subjects. Professor Crafts, being a physicist, usually gets around to atomic power in a conversation. "I imagine I take a rather conservative view," he said, "but I think we should work toward developing more constructive uses for atomic power. Such a powerful source of energy, if harnessed, could "be adapted to be one of man's greatest helpers rather than a destructive force." Before coming to Auburn in 1944, Professor Crafts taught at the University of Georgia, Lehigh University, North Carolina University and in various V-5 and navy pre-flight programs. Having an excellent background in the naval sciences, he attended the naval academy as a midshipman, served in World War I, and held a reserve commission until 1930. . All in all, Professor Crafts is an enthusiastic Auburn fan; one who follows with rabid interest the success or failures of the various teams and is still hoping for that unbeaten season.

Come Start Your Account Now THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF AUBURN Auburn, Alabama Georgia Bulldogs Topple Tigers. 8-4 In First Of Set The Georgia Bulldogs combined nine hits with six Auburn errors last week to hand the Tigers an 8-4 setback. Righthander Sonny Shealy limited the Plainsmen to eight hits in bettering the joint mound efforts of Bill Letchworth and George Hill. Auburn held the upper hand for five frames until the Bulldog bats began to boom. The Georgians tagged Hill for four runs in the eighth inning, an inning that saw three Tiger miscues. Jack Roberts led the Georgia stick attack with two doubles and a single in four trips to the plate. Catcher Dick Dozier had two singles in four tries. Centerfielder Julian Mock, two for two, and Second Baseman Dick Webb, two for five, paced the Auburn stick work. Mock entered the game as the top Auburn batsman, boasting a lusty .388 average. The loss was Auburn's sixth of the S.E.C. campaign against only two wins. The Georgia won-lost mark now stands at 5-8. Tuesday's Tiger-Dog tilt wound up the diamond rivalry between the two teams.

Frosh Baseballers Whip Opelika, 12-2 Auburn's freshman baseball team blasted out a 12-2 victory over Opelika High School last Wednesday afternoon as righthander Bill "Whip" Johnston, Do-than, pitched six full innings of two-hit ball to gain his first mound triumph of the year. Chet Samson, another right-handed artist, came in to relieve Johnston in the seventh. Samson pitched credible ball during the remaining three stanzas, giving up only one run on one hit. Coach Edward "Red" Whitsett's boys journeyed up to the University of Alabama Monday to meet the Capstone frosh in a two-game set. The young Tifeer team takes with it a season record of two wins and no losses, having previously defeated Lanett, 10-0. The high flying 20-man squad is next slated to meet Lanett in a return game. Fire-baller Buck Bradberry, labeled by Coach Whitsett as the best young hurl-er he's seen in a number of years, pitched the Baby Tigers to their first conquest, giving up only two scratch singles as he went the full route; Bradberry will likely face the Lanett high schoolers again. Leading the batting order for Tiger Netmen Capture Season's First Win, Defeat Maroons, 4-3 Auburn's Tennis Team closed out the reguar season last Saturday when they conquered the Mississippi State Maroons 4-3. The Tigers had previously lost to the State netters by a similar count. Winning for the Plainsmen were Buck Sawyer, J. C. Sellers, and Frank Barker in singles competition while the fourth point was added by the doubles duo of Kenneth White and Bobby Struck. the Tiger frosh is Inman "Kook" Veal, who is currently setting a rigid slugging pace at a .692 clip. Veal holds down the shortstop post and is considered perhaps the best infielder on the squad. Other power hitters are Rupert Long, who got a triple against Opelika; Donald Pair, who has two doubles to his credit, and second baseman Skeeter Hale, who slapped out a pair of singles in the first tangle.

George Howell, 'Bama third sacker doubled home Leon Adair with the winning run as the Tide dumped the Tigers, 6-5. Auburn had knotted the count in the bottom of the eighth with a two-run burst off Alabama reliefer Al Lary. Auburn starter George Hill and Tide starter Allan Worthington weren't around at the finish. Hoehle took over for Auburn in the seventh inning and received the loss. The game featured light hitting and sloppy fielding by both teams. Each had seven hits and five errors. Left Fielder Ed Lary, with two for six and four runs batted in, supplemented the clutch hitting of Howell. Left Fielder Vince Robison led the Tigers with two singles in five trips. The loss was Auburn's seventh in the S.E.C. against four .wins. It was Alabama's tenth win' against three setbacks. The Tigers meet Birmingham- Southern, Wednesday afternoon in the Magic City; then journey to Gainesville for a pair of games with the Florida 'Gators on Friday and Saturday.
