Variety Program, 'Dance Fantasy/
To Be Presented Here, Tuesday, July 3
A theatrical dance program will be presented in Langdon
Hall on Tuesday, July 3, at the second program of the .A.P.I,
summer concert series. "Students will have the opportunity of
seeing one of the most widely acclaimed dance teams of pre­sent
day dancing circles," a member of the Auburn Concert
and Lecture Committee stated.
The program entitled "Dance
Fantasy" will present a variety
" of dancing from ballet to boogie,
from. tap to toe, from character
comedy, and other novelty dances.
Pittman Corry and Karen Con­rad
will combine their talents as a
dancing team, and will be accom­panied
by another dancer, Marilyn
Vance, who will offer solos. Miss
Vance will join the Corry-Conrad
team in the presentation of many
dance moods and variations. Roll-and
Tomlinson is pianist for the
dancers.
Miss Conrad has performed with
three major ballet companies.
While with the Philadelphia Ballet
she danced in the capitals of Eu­rope
and gave a command per­formance
for the King of Bel­gium.
Later she toured the country
with Michael Mordkin's Russian
Ballet. She has also starred with
T:he Philadelphia Orchestra, danced
on Broadway and was an assistant
dance director for the hit musical
production, "Call Me Mister."
,Corry began his dancing career
in Atlanta and studied in New
York. He graduated from the
American Academy of Dramatic
Arts and appeared in summer
stock in "Stage Door," "Watch on
the Rhine," "The Man Who Came
to Dinner," and "My- Sister Ei­leen."

Bolger ,in "By Jupiter." After be­ing'
discharged from Army Air
- Corps" he returned to Broad­way.
He has recently appeared

Barrow, guidance director. "Un­less
appointments a r e made
promptly the calendar may be
filled before some students ask

"students may have to extend
their probationary status another
quarter."
• Voluntary counseling for inter­ested
students not on probation
should be planned before July 10.

No Holiday, Why?
By The Editor
According to school officials*
there will be no holiday for Au­burn
students on July 4. All
classes will be held as usual.
For the fourth straight year*
Auburn students will go to'
school on a day which the rest of
the nation observes as being
worthy for paying tribute for
our. independence.
While the rest of the.U.S. honors
our fighting men in Korea as well
as those who have died in the
building of our nation, we will
sit in' hot, sultry classrooms.
Thanks , to the Council of ,
Deans, July 4, normally a day
for renewing faith in our. na­tion
and its purpose, will be just
another day at Auburn. Maybe
it will take more than U.N. "po­lice
action" to cause the Council
of Deans to realize the import­ance
of July 4 in American his­tory;
Rings On Sale
Juniors and seniors who have
not yet ordered their A.P.I, class
rings are urged to call either

Education Building
Named Thach Hall
Auburn's new education build­ing,
into which the departments of
agricultural education, home eco­nomics,
education, psychology, and
elementary and secondary educa­tion
will move shortly, has been
named Thach Hall.
Dr. Ralph Draughon, president
of the college, said that the name
was selected in memory of Charles
Coleman Thach, who was presi­dent
of this institution from 1902-
1920, and president emeritus from
1920 until his death in 1921.
It was during Dr. Thach's ad­ministration
that professional
courses in education were intro­duced
as part of the curricula, and
Dr. Zebulon Judd, now dean of
the School of Education, was
brought to the campus.
The late President Thach was a
member of the Auburn Class of
1877. He returned to teach at his
Alma Mater in 1882. Before his
election to the presidency in 1902,
he served in the departments of
English, modern languages, Latin

SPORTS TROPHY
By Bob Wilkin
Sigma Alpha Epsilon returned to
the Auburn fraternity sports, lime­light
this year by winning the
monstrous, waist-high interfra-ternity
sports trophy. This year's

trophy in five years, which they
lost only in 1950 to the Theta Chis.
This year the champion Greeks
won first place in three major
events—basketball, softball, and
golf—while earning points in most
of the other intramural sports. Up­holding
Auburn honor the SAE's
defeated the rival basketball
champion PiKA's at the University
of Alabama.
In second place for 1951 are the
cake-winning Theta Chis, who
took first place in both track and
swimming. In third place are the
touch fodtball specialists, Delta

A Deserved Promotion
Elevation of J im Foy to the position of
acting Director of Student affairs is a real
break for Mr. Foy and the Auburn stu­dents.
Replacing Mr. T. C. Clark, who has
obtained a leave of absence for additional
study, Mr.- Foy brings to the office a record
"of achievement and ability. He will add
tact and charm to a difficult position.
Mr. Foy's appointment is "temporary"
as he is filling in for Mr. Clark, who has
capably handled the job during the past
four years. Although often misunderstood
by the student leaders whose genuine pur­pose
he often misunderstood, Mr. Clark
performed his duties in a commendable
manner. Under his guiding hand the of­fice
of Student Affairs has grown in scope
and influence. He leaves Mr. Foy a well-organized
and planned program.
Jim Foy's first words to this writer
when he arrived on the Auburn campus
last summer were:
"I like Auburn. I get a deep sense of
fulfillment at becoming a part of the tradi­tion
and spirit that is Auburn's. The in­stitution
has a destiny which I hope to be­come
a part of."
With the spirit expressed in this state­ment
Jim Foy captured the fancy of the
Auburn students. In him they found a
true friend. He offered sound, confiden­tial
advice in a tactful and gracious man­ner.
Regardless of the problem Mr. Foy
was never too busy to listen. His sincerity
was evident in all fields of student /acti­vity!
It will be a pleasure to have Mr. Foy
as our "boss" during our last quarter at
Auburn. We know that he is a friend of
the student. We believe that he has faith
in Auburn's student leadership and will
work for and with all students through
his office. With administrators like Jim
Foy Auburn will grow stronger in meeting
squarely the problems which face the in­stitution.
Administrative Changes Get Results
Few schools in the country have as
sincere and enthusiastic alumni association
as Auburn. Yet, few schools, have such
an unpredictable group of old grads as
Auburn. For the past ten years alumni
relations, mainly in the field Of athletics,
have been strained. Poor football teams,
weak public relations, lack of cooperation
between the alumni clubs have all been
headaches for the college as it tried to
strengthen its ties with all former stu­dents.
With these problems as a background,
President Ralph Draughon took steps last
winter which seem to have eased the situa­tion
considerably. After the dust had
settled from the "political-football" coach­ing
squabble in February, Dr. Draughon
named capable Jeff Beard as athletic direc­tor
replacing retiring Coach Wilbur Hut-sell,
who had done a splendid job during
his tenure. With the return of Ralph Jordan
to the Plains as football coach, the athletic
department was fortified with a capable
man who sincerely wanted to help Au­burn.
The appointment of sauve Joe Sar-ver
as secretary of the Alumni Association
insured improved alumni relations.
The problems which this trio faces are
large and difficult. Each man realizes the
task ahead. Yet, the progress already
made through the individual and collective
efforts of these three sons of Auburn is
almost unbelievable. -
In only four months Jeff Beard has evi­dently
stabilized the affairs at the Field
House. He has hired a football coach,
assisted in securing a new grid coaching
staff, and has seen that all sports are pro­vided
with capable mentors. The financial
picture, badly clouded in the winter, shows
signs of clearing as the "new deal" at Au­burn
starts an effective program.
The work of Coach Jordan is equally
commendable. In six weeks after his ap­pointment
he had signed a young, enthu­siastic
staff. He conducted a spring train­ing
grind which sent Tiger hopes upward.
His sincerity and determination-on the
practice field began to be reflected by his
players. With a genuine Auburn man at
the helm, Tiger gridders began to realize
they had a school to perform for, rather
than just a scholarship. A-Day showed
the results. In the fall we will see more.
Appointed to his post in March, Joe
Sarver immediately started quieting the
disturbed alumni waters. Six new Au­burn
Clubs have been organized in the
past three months. Old alumni wounds
are reported to have begun to heal with
improved relations with the school. Sar­ver
has set out to make alumni realize
that Auburn is not just a football plant,
but also has a much stronger purpose in
the field of higher education. Here he
will encounter opposition in the form of
disinterest and ignorance as to the real
purpose of Auburn. However, for such
an educational program Auburn could
have hired no better instructor than Joe
Sarver.
These three men have done commen­dable
work in their individual field. Yet
their labors haven't ended in just these
individual areas. Instead, since A-Day in
May this Tiger trio has been covering
Alumni Club meetings both in and out of
the state. In fact, Messrs. Beard, Jordan,
and Sarver have been noticeable for their
absence from the Plains during the past
six weeks. Speaking before various
groups several times a week the men have
traveled many miles in an effort to better
Auburn's relations with their unpredic­table
alumni. Working as a team Beard,
Jordan and Sarver have done a fine job
in placing Auburn back in a favorable
light with alumni and friends.
With men of the caliber of Beard, Jor­dan,
and Sarver in the administrative
ranks of the college, Auburn can expect
improved public relations. These three
Auburn graduates are effectively building
their alma mater. Alumni should appre­ciate
this type of leadership.

Some Jokes Deliver
Editorial Message
Entered as second-class matter at •' the post office at Auburn, Alabama

One of the most popular sec­tions
of any college newspaper is
the joke column. This is definite­ly
true in'the case of The Plains­man.
Regardless of the leading
story on the front page or the
editor's latest crusading editorial,
Auburn students, with few ex­ceptions,
automatically turn to
the joke column.
To the editor who labors for
hours over his latest idealistic
thought this is a slap in the face.
Yet, if he is a close observer he
will realize that serious columns
and articles are just about as wel­come
as General MacArthur in
the White House. College stu­dents
seem to feel that any publi­cation
must have a lengthy,
coarse joke section to be a credit­able
newspaper.
However, the best jokes are not
alway coarse or "dirty." With
due respect to the present joke
column, which is no doubt the
widest read column in the paper,
we would like to pass along a
couple of rich tales of humor
which also carry along construc­tive
thought.
These "editorial" jokes were
carried several years ago in The
Plainsman and their underlying
message is still just as humorous
and blount today as it was in
1948.
The first story makes fun of
t h e left publication standard
bearers of the North who carry •
the ball for the poor, down-trod­den
Southern Negro. It all started
at a board meeting called for the
editorial staff. As soon as all
were seated the editor-in-chief
opened the meeting but began to
be distracted by an associate edit­or
who had just returned from a
week's tour of the South getting
material for an article on the
treatment of the Negroes down
there. This chap kept squirming
around in his chair and clawing,
at his arms, back and thighs.
Finally, the editor-in-chief
could stand it no longer. He turn­ed
to him and said, "Listen, must
you persist in scratching yourself
and squirming about like that?
What's wrong with you?"
The associate editor started to
explain, "Well, when I was down
South I got in among a bunch of
chiggers . . ."
- "Just a minute," broke in the
editor-in-chief, "On this maga­zine
we don't say chiggers, we
say chiggroes!"
The other joke makes light of
a collectivist meeting and the
party which a group of these
characters were planning. One
member got up and said, "We
can use my apartment to hold the
party in."
"I'll bring the solemi," offered
one.
"I'll bring a bottle of red wine/'
added still another.
And so it went around the roois
with each member contributing
something. At least, all but one
had volunteered either services or
refreshments. Finally the leader
of the group looked at him in a
very pointed way.
The erring soul divining what
motivated the look said quickly,
"Oh, T am going to bring the
Negro."
However, jokes like these are a-rarity.
They won't be found often
in The Plainsman joke column.
Yet they are rich in humor and
editorial potency. Who knows,
maybe college editors will be able
to turn the joke column into a
crusading weapon. Then college
editorial pages could possibly af­ford
their readers even more
laughs.
Of All Things
By Jim Raulston
Last Thursday noon brought
fraternity rush week to a halt,
much to. the relief of both rushees
and fraternity men. This summer's
rush week was a larger one than
the ones of the past two summers.
Of course, we had more freshman
men registering, this June than
usual.
All the fraternities were looking
ahead to the coming quarters when,
the enrollment will be smaller and
consequently fraternity men fewer.
All in all it was a gjod rush week,
but there were"some things that.
marred it to some extent.
The IFC makes definite rules
which govern rushing and these
rules should be rigidly adhered to.
During this past rush week there
were certain instances where small
infractions of the rules were al­lowed
to take place.
One rule is the one which sets
aside a 24-hour period in which
fraternity men cannot communi­cate
with rushees. Regardless of
whether this time restriction is
broken by five minutes or five
hours, it is still breaking a definite
rule. If we aren't going to abide
by the rules which we ourselves
make, why go to the trouble to
m.ake them to begin with.
There were several instances
where this rule was broken short-'
ly before noon Thursday.' Although
it was by only a few minutes, it
was still a direct violation of the,
Auburn IFC rules.
Another thing which occurred
might not have been directly
against any set rules, but never­theless,
it was against an unwrit­ten
code of ethics. By this I refer
to the practice of misleading a
lushee by making him believe
that he is pledged, although rush
week has not officially ended, and
therefore is obligated to that fra­ternity.
This not only is a viola­tion
of the code of ethics which

'The Common Man"—
A Liberal's View Of Army Life
by Mitch Sharpe
"Old crapshooters never die, they just fade away . . ."
—Hymn To A Self-canonized Saint.
Diminutive, resourceful Ed Crawford has what I t h i n k is
a great idea for plugging holes in t h e summer editorial page.
He has appealed to the great, near-great, ingrate and in­famous
editors of the past for pearls which they may still
want to cast before swine. Who knows? Perhaps young
Crawford has started a literary
revival of sorts.
Actually I am in no position
to carry on as I did in this column
when I was in the editorial sad­dle.
To some, the piney-woods,
red-clay reactionaries, this reve­lation
will come as a relief; to
others, the clear-sighted liberals
(if there be any left at Alma M.),
it will come as a tragic thing.
The fact is that I am under new
management. And the manage-j
ment takes a dim view of private
opinion publicly expressed no
matter how enlightening it may
be. This parochial taskmaster is,
"of course, Uncle Sam. And if
what. I read in the newspapers

' in a position to welcome some of
' the student body into the firm be­fore
too long. By the way, I won
eight howitzers, self-propelled. I
am joined by two other second
lieutenants (both ROTC lads
called to active duty) and a hun­dred
odd souls of less opulent,
rank who were called to active
duty by boards composed of
friends and neighbors.
Together we have been through
basic training and are now in
more advanced training. We lead
a rather uneventful life. We have
fired our howitzers on several
occasions with gratifying results.
They make a hell of a hole in the
ground and twice as much "noise.
That's about all I can say.
However, life as a battery com­mander
has some compensa­tions—

The name of the sage who first penned the foregoing

I'm sure that every male read­er
has encountered a woman's
"logic" in matters d'amour so I
will dwell but briefly on the
| hopeless tangle that women have
-made of romance in this civiliza­tion.
One woman writer main­tains
that a young bride should
begin training her husband im­mediately
after the nuptials.
I re-read the article thinking
that perhaps the sweet young
thing had purchased a dog but,
alas, I had read it right the first
time.
J. Amour has changed very little
since Joe Cro-Magnon first drag­ged
his truly fair into his ice water
cave, an early cold water flat, by
the extremely effective method 01
entwining his fingers in her raven
locks and pulling. This obviously
expedient procedure has become
outmoded however, because; (1.)
bobbed hair and a shaved nape are
currently the rage, and (2.) there
is a theory currently going the
rounds contending that the female
sex is quite capable of choosing
its own course without the direc­tional
determanant of uprooted
hairs.
. It is to be noted that this theory
is nothing more than a supposition,
receiving its main support from
such crusading groups as The
Society for the Collection and
rust: ibution of Timely Information
on the Breeding and Development
of Nasturtiams—Circle 4. But
enough of this, let us look at other
fields.
Not too many years ago fe­males
in this country and pround
the world decided that they had
suffered enough under the yoke
of pots and pans and dishpan
hands so they set out to "break
their chains" and incidentally to
save humanity wi'h their su­perior
skills in w'lat had been

But every dog has his/her day.
I had mine. I ordered the mess
sergeant to bundle up the officers'
me'ss chest and take it with him
on the bivouac. That night, des­pite
the ever present fauna of the
Louisiana swamps, the command­ing
officer of Battery C, 593rd
Field Artillery Battalion sat
down to mess with his staff and
dined in the splendor germaine to
such position, prestige, pomp and
circumstance. All we needed was
Matthew Brady and his Baby
Brownie to record the scene for
future generations.
I'll close on a friendly note to
t h o s e students in Advanced
ROTC. Better pay attention in
class. When you are called up,
you can make it a lot easier on
yourself if you know something
about something. Especially if
you get a battalion commander
who whets his ire on the short­comings
of second lieutenants.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
second in the summer series of
guest articles to be written by
former P l a i n s m a n columnists.
Last week Jim Forrester opened
the series with "A Dash of Bit­ters."

they were able to play upon man's
age old weakness and gain for
themselves a place in the sun.
After success in a few fields the
battle cry became "complete equa­lity
in every field with all the
privileges that men are entitled
to." This is where the battle rages
today with the males slowly los­ing
ground to the same force that
cost Samson his curls.
Strangely enough however,
there has been an almost
absolute silence on the part of
women with respect to accepting
the responsibilities that should
naturally accompany the privi­leges
which they seek.
To take a few examples: You
seldom hear of the courts of the
land directing women to pay ali­mony
to their ex-husbands even-though
the wives are directly res­ponsible
for the marriage ending
oh the rocks. To take an example
closer home, you seldom hear of an
unsuspecting young male being
trampeled to death in front of the
War Eagle as his date makes a
frantic lunge for the box-office.
Its not the girls' place to do these
things defenders of femenine per-ogatives
will scream. Why isn't it
wt down-trodden males ask, you
want to be equal don't you.
The awful truth is that wo­men,
female in particular, have
found upon venturing out of
their God given domain of pots
and pans and childbearing that
all is not sweetness, light and
pleasure in man's God given do­main.
In an attempt to calm
their souls, troubled at their
startling discovery, women have
in recent years put on the most
remarkable exhibition of ab­surdities
of this or any other age.

A Political Fable About A Wise Owl,
The Senator,,and The Resulting Trial
By David Ward and Bill Rogers
Once there was a stately Owl who lived in a penthouse
suite in the tall oak section of the forest. This Owl was
greatly feared and respected by the other birds because of
his wisdom. It was rumored that he was the wisest bird id**-'
all the woods,, and many went to him seeking advice/ of a •
political nature. When this happened, the Owl would stare
balefully at his questioners and perhaps tender a few ma­jestic
suggestions that would cause those who had sought his
help to go away marveling at the brilliance of such a creature.
A Senator in Washington heard of the Owl's greatness.
Being so different from his colleagues,. t b*
Senator began to wonder what would happen1
to him if his constituents decided to get rid
of him. He knew damn well what would
happen. They would elect that Owl.
So the Senator immediately launched »
smear campaign against the Owl. He ac­cused
him publicly of being a member c*
Communist front organizations. Privately,
he opined that the Owl had been implicated'
in plots to overthrow the government. The
Senator was not lacking in. supporters, an«r*
soon the forest was talking of nothing else.
The Owl did not attempt to defend himself, but woul#
answer all charges by merely blinking and basking in his
own omnipotence. Of course the whole idea was ridiculous
and the President had called the affair a Bed Bird, but the
citizens of the land began to wonder. Had not the Senate*
branded the Owl as being a Communist, and had hot theif
former counsellor refused to answer the charges?
The excitement grew so great that a trial was held. Tto«*
jury consisted of a Sparrow, a Robin, a Thrasher and a Black
Bird (this was to assure the people that no prejudice existed _
in the court). To every question asked him the Owl replieA
with a look of withering intelligence, refusing to answer ©A
the grounds that it might ruffle his feathers.
The jury was out only a minute and returned with a ves-dict
which upheld the government on every count.
The trial was not without its advantages, however, for; th*•.
presiding judge was given assurances by an admiring public
that he would be stuffed for posterity at death, and the prci-secuting
attorney was mad£ head of the Anti-Blue JayTftjrce.
The wise old Owl sits imprisoned in his glided cage looking
intelligent and the Senator is still a Senator in Washington,- .
MORAL: If you make a Senator jealous, he'll probably
see red.

Tigers Meet Wofford In Second Tilt;
Terriers Have Several Returning Vets
By Walt Albritton
When Coach Ralph Jordan guides the Auburn Tigers into
their second contest of the coming season, against the Wof­ford
Terriers, it will mark the third time that the two schools
have met in grid competition. The record between Auburn
andtfce Terriers stands at 1-1.
"Revenge" will be the war-cry
of the Plainsmen when they tangle
with Wofford in Montgomery's
Cramton Bowl on October 5. They
will be seeking revenge for the
unforgettable 14-19 lacing which
was handed them by the Terriers
in their opening game of the 1950
campaign.
Before last year's upset, Wof­ford
and Auburn had met once
previously on the gridiron—in
1930 when Chet Wynne began
his first season as coach for the
Tigers. Red Harkins, a scrappy
center, was the Auburn captain
and the Tigers won easily by a
38-6 score.
Tennessee System Used
Coach Phil Dickens of Wofford
employs the Tennessee system,
which functions well with a ver­satile
tailback and largely by use
oi "two-on-one" blocking in the
line. This system can be readily
used as either a passing or running
attack.
The man who fills the shoes of
Dickens' versatile tailback is tall,
rangy Jack Beeler, who is con­sidered
the finest passer ever to
play for a Wofford team. Beeler
weighs only 168 pounds, is an
average kicker and above-average
as a runner.
Beeler The Man To Watch
Last year Beeler, then a sopho­more,
wrecked havoc with the
Tigers, in both passing and run­ning.
The native Tennesse lad
Jossed 13 forward passes, com­pleting
nine, one of which was
good for the Terriers' first score.
Beeler also averaged five yards per
v/ill be the man to watch in this
year's game. • (
Another lightweight, Burnie
Mijler, (180) will be back this
fall to cause the Plainsman de­fense
plenty of trouble from his
fullback post. Miller proved hard
to stop last year and cracked
through the Tiger forward wall
for several long gains.
Tackle Bill Thurston, (200)
guard Bob Pollard, (195) end Jack
Abell, (180), and center Bill Small,
(196) will all return for their
senior year. They form a quartet
of gridders that can be counted on
by Coach Dickens to hit hard, fast
and often.
Thurston is a great player on
defense, but a trifle weak on his
offensive play; Pollard showed
plenty of endurance at his right
guard slot last year, and was one
of the outstanding performers of
the night.
Bobby McLellan Returns
Back for his last year will also
be hard-running Bobby McLellan,
the Terriers' scoring genius. He
scored all three of Wofford's
touchdowns in the Tiger game.
One consolation for Auburn will
be that the Wofford fray will not
be their first game, as last year.
The Tigers underrated the Terriers
last fall,, figuring to take an easy
first game win. This year, they will
not.
The powerful Vanderbilt Com­modores,
whom the Tigers will
meet in their opener, will be a
primer for Auburn, and the
Plainsmen will be settled and
ready to throw everything they've

End Coach Lorendo
Was SEC Standout
When Shot Senn was promoted
to head line coach, Head Coach
Ralph Jordan chose Gene Lorendo,
Georgia graduate, and end coach
at Presbyterian College, as his as­sistant,
coach, working with the
ends. .
Standing over six feet, two
inches tall, and weighing 230
pounds, the friendly coach is the
biggest member of the Auburn
staff.
Approached with the question of
Auburn's chances during the com­ing
grid season, Lorendo prefer­red
to play safe by not venturing
out on the limb too far. However,
he did say, with a smile, "We'll
win some that we are not supposed
to."
Lorendo was more than pleased
with the performances of his end
corps during the recent spring
practice. "If the ends continue the
hustle that they showed in the

By Bill Beckwith,
• When September 29 rolls around this fall, head football
coach Ralph J o r d a n is going to t u r n to assistant coach Charlie
Waller and ask, "who's t h e s t a r t i n g q u a r t e r b a c k against Van-d
e r b i l t ?"
. Waller will have had from September 1, t h e opening day
of fall practice, to select his man.
He will stop for a moment though
arid ask himself, "which quarter­back
has shown the best leader­ship,
poise, determination, and
signal calling ability?"
Last season Auburn used Bill
Tucker and Al­lan
Parks con­sistently.
They
were the top
candidates and
they f o u g ht
like cats and
dogs for first-string
honors.
It will be dif­f
e r e n t t h is
Beckwith year, because
Waller is after the teamman. He
not only is concerned about who
throws the best pass, of wno
handles the ball best. His objec­tive
is the field general who will
keep the football team together
and win games/
Spence Improved
Don't kid yourself, Tucker and
Parks are not the only eligibles
for the post this year. A junior,
Dudley Spence, is making a bid
for the job and has shown a lot
during the past year.
The most important one of the
three will be Auburn's meal
ticket, but all three will see ser­vice
in some capacity.
Tucker is the extra point ex­pert
of the team. His point-after-touchdown
against Alabama -in
1949 was the deciding factor in
Auburn's 14-13 upset. P a r ks
proved to be an ace on defense
last year. This plus his respon­sibilities
as alternate captain of
the 1951 version will be highly
important. Spence did a little
kicking last year as Jim Mc-
Gowen's shadow. The McComb,
Miss., blond will handle all the
chores this year.
Tucker's Record Impressive
Tucker was the fair-haired boy
following his exploits against
'Bama, but the Birmingham sen­ior
suffered from the "shakes"
and injuries last year. Despite
the loss of four fingers, sustained
from a hunting accident in 1947,
the frog-voiced T-man throws a
beautiful pass and has shown ex­tensive
improvement during the
spring as a ball handler.
He missed several games last
year because of, a wrenched
shoulder and a broken noser but
his passing record was impres­sive.
He threw 92 passes, com­pleted
41, and had eight inter­cepted
as he picked up 414 yards.
The Parks story follows lines
of the "rags to riches." This is
true since Allen was a "nobody"
oh his Jackson, Miss., football
team. He'was a righthalf who did
most of the blocking and was on
the receiving end of Dwight
Hitt's passes. He did no passing in
high school and when college re­cruiting
began he was overlook­ed,
He came to Auburn on his
own and served quite a dish as a
table-hopper while working for a
scholarship.
Parks Worked For Aid
AH through his freshman year,
Parks worked on passing, ball
handling, and football perfection.
By his sophomore year, he was
told that if he could make the
third-string quarterback job, be­hind
the great Travis Tidwell, he
would be put on scholarship.
.This the 21-year-old muscle-rrian
did, and during his junior
year he reached the share-hold­er's
honor with Tucker. His re­cord
for the 1950 season was 24
completed passes out of 51 at­tempts,
for 279 yards, as only two
were intercepted.
Spence threw only 18 passes
last season, completing seven for
53 yards. This does not write him
out of the position because he
lacked experience that he couldn't
get with Tucker and Parks
around for playing time. This
year he is ready for the battle.
Back of these three are sopho­mores
Joe Davis, Bill Ellis, and
Jim Fullington, while freshmen
Roger Sauls and Al Naughton
bring good reputations from high
school.
Davis will probably get the call
after the trio of veterans because
of his smoothness and running
ability. He will be used frequent­ly
at the righthalf position. Ellis
arid Fullirigtbri will aid defen­sively.
Sauls and Naughton could
help, but inexperience is their
downfall.

G1 Guidance Center
Closed; Plans Given
The Veterans Guidance Center
active on the Auburn campus
since 1946, will finish operation
on June 30. Thomas H. Conway,
director of the-center for the last
four years, will leave Auburn to
accept a position as director of
the Birmingham Guidance Cen­ter.
Abolishment of the guidance
center for veterans was necessary
due to the shrinking veteran en­rollment
Conway stated. During
the operation period 1939 veter­an
students were counseled.
However, during the first five
months for 1951 only 56 veterans
took advantage of the program.
However, counseling for. non-veteran
and off campus students
has remained consistently high.
The Guidance Center will re­main
in operation to handle col­lege
student cases and high school
students who wish to be counsel­ed
prior to registration.
Mohler Visits Here
Dr. Fred Mohler, head of Mass
Spectrometer Section at the Na­tional
Bureau of Standards, visited
the laboratories of the physics de­partment
at Auburn on June 18.
The current work on the produc­tion
of negative ions carried out by
the department for the Atomic
Energy Commission, prompted Dr.
Mohler's visit.

Women, Creators
(Continued from page 5)
dress change just as fast as Vogue
can set up the type. Skirts go up or
down from just above the termites
head to just below the line left by
the garter. And withal the male,
usually American, is attacked
upon every point. He is either a:
poor sex partner or he doesn't
carry Life Savers, one or both.
But with all their antics and en­croachment
into the male realm
there is yet one challenge which I
breathlessly await. When females
begin to challege men for the right
to be the sole group entitled to
the title of FATHER then boys we
man as well "Fold our tents like
the Arabs and silently steal away."
