Trustees Approve
Building Program
$3,875,000 Plans Given Green Light By Board;
Pharmacy School To Receive $300,000 Program
A record-breaking college building program was author­ized
Wednesday by the A.P.I. B o a r d of Trustees and $4,-
250,000 bond issue was sold to finance cost of the construction.
The Robinson-Humphrey Co., Inc., of Atlanta, Ga., and
associates were successful bidders on the bonds with a bid
calling for net interest cost of
2.746 per cent. Only other bidder
was Thornton-Mohr Co., of Mont­gomery
and associates, whose bid
was 2.824 per cent.
Buildings authorized will cost
an estimated $3,875,000. They in­clude
a million dollar men's dor­mitory,
six women's dormitories
and dining hall to cost $1,525,000,
a student union building to cost
$1,050,000. and a $300,000 phar­macy
building.
The union building also will in­clude
quarters for the faculty
club and Auburn Alumni Asso­ciation.
Of the record-size bond issue,
$1,050,000 will be used to refund
a 1948 issue of building bonds,
and the remaining $3,200,000 will
go to help finance the $3,875,000
building program.
The plan to renovate the "L"
building and shops for the School
of Pharmacy was abandoned in
favor of a new $300,000 building
to be provided for that school.
Funds for the building are pre­sently
available.
Bond resolution passed by the
board provided that proceeds
from the bond sale can be invest­ed
in government bonds in the
event the international situation
makes it inadvisable to go ahead
with the building program.

charge regardless of the reason
for failure to follow the schedule.

dates next quarter.

m Mast Mobilize World Opinion
According To History Prof. 0. T. Ivey
"Thfe principal function of t h e United Nations n ow is to
mobilize world: opinion." •
This-is t h e opinion of Prof: T u r n e r Ivey of Auburn-'s history
department. This professor, who served with America's Far
E a s t e r n Forces during World War II and who has made a
special study of that confusing
area for his classes at Auburn,
has just returned from a four-week
Institute on the United Na*-
tions held at Lake Success and
at Mount'Holyoke College, Sduth
Hadley, Mass. By coincidence the
institute began, the same day
South Korea was invaded* by the
Reds.:
Approximately 550 persons, in­cluding
college professors, stu­dents,!
businessmen, and members
of civic organizations,, came from
all over the country to attend-the
institute. The students heard lec-ures
by'international authorities,
and visited New York each week
* for a day^s tour., of" the ••U.N.' at
| Lake- Success. Prof. Ivey was, ac­companied
by two Auburn stu­dents,'
Robert H. Harris, of Good-water,
Ala., and Jim Sanders Jen­nings,
Berry, Ala.
Mobilized World Opinion
~ "At the moment, the morale of
the U.N.' delegates seems very

From his study of Russian. his-v

The Uncertain Future Offers A Challenge To Auburn
Approval of the gigantic building pro­gram
by the Board of Trustees was a move
of real courage. Despite the uncertainties
which face our country today, the Trust­ees
showed determination to continue plans
for giving Auburn the necessary facilities.
It was good to realize that the Trustees
feel the great needs of the Auburn physi­cal
plant and are ready and willing to move
ahead with their plans in spite of the un­certainties
of our day.
This act of courage made us hope for
even greater moves of progress to make
Auburn a stronger and more progressive
institution: moves which will be taken not
in just the expansion of the physical plant,
but in the work of the three main divisions
of the institution—research, instruction
and extension.
As we have commented before, Au­burn's
expansion of its material plant has
been an amazing process. However, we
have often wondered if the three branches
of the institution have kept abreast of the
positive progress made in the expansion of
the physical plant. For the past five quart­ers
as editor of The Plainsman, we have
founded ourselves repeatedly asking the
serious question, "Is Auburn actually giv­ing
to all the people of Alabama and .the
South the necessary cure to their physical
and spiritual needs?" It is a?question which
We cannot easily answer.
We have often wondered if the three
branches of the institution are performing
their task to the limits of their ability.
There are certain basic things which we
feel each branch must perform if it is to
actually contribute to development of the
people in this region.
In the fields of research we must con­tinue
to move forward in finding how to
put the basic discoveries in physics and
chemistry and the other sciences to work
in the very important field of agriculture.
The research branch must always move to
rid the area of the disease of animals and
plants; there must be continued effort to
gain knowledge which will give the largest
benefits from the land. The research
branch must carry out a program which
will benefit all the people and, as Dr. John
Hannah stated at President Draughon's in­auguration,
"must strive to move away
from activities merely serving the farmer
directly, to activities serving society as a
.whole."
The extension branch of the institution
must continue its work of aiding Alabama
farmers. It must work to help all Alabama
farmers. It must always cooperate with
other agriculture and educational agencies
to aid all the people of this state. By work­ing
to serve a broader field in a democratic
fashion, the extension branch can greatly
( aid the people of this region. It cannot af­ford
to. be part of any political move. It,
as well as all other branches of the insti-stitution,
must remain politically uncom­mitted.
Possibly the best definition of the pur­pose
of the instructional branch of the in­stitution
is set forth in the following state­ment
made by President Draughon: "I
think that Auburn will continue to rise
and grow if we can continue to seek for
truth and teach it in an atmosphere of
freedom of inquiry which permits the dis­covery
of basic evidence which we may
apply to human problems." As President
Draughon continues, "We must find the
means to inculcate in our students and in
our citizens an awakened consciousness of
our great and growing moral and material
responsibilities as citizens of America and
the world." Herein lies the purpose of any
institution of higher learning.
In studying each of the three branches,
\v? find it impossible to say whether they
i.:- Julfilling their full purpose. However,
one fact remains—if the leaders of each
branch can grasp a spark of the determina­tion
and courage that has been shown in
the expansion of the physical plant of the
college and apply this knowledge in seeing
that their branch does everything in its
power to serve the people of this region,
Auburn can meet the needs of a demand­ing
section and world.
Although it is heartening to see the
courage shown by the leaders of the in­stitution
in expanding the physical plant,
one question remains uppermost in our
minds—"What good will million dollar
constructions do the people of Alabama
and the South unless they can have always
placed in them an atmosphere which will
enable Auburn to become a leader in the
battle against the ignorance and intoler­ance
which divide, confuse and impoverish
the people of this region?"
How can an atmosphere devoted to the
development of free thinking and demo­cratic
action be created in order to have
Auburn fully meet the demands of our un­certain
times? The answer lies in the need
for courageous action on the part of all
those who make up the institution to strive
to make Auburn a servant to all of the
people of Alabama and the South. Thus
through serving to expand knowledge and
to promote the elimination of ignorance
and prejudice we can become a leader in
giving democracy an even chance to work.
However, we must realize Auburn is
not just a Board of Trustees or a man in
the president's office; it is not just a
friendly student body or a football team;
it is not just three distinct branches of ser­vice
or a beautiful campus with large
buildings. Instead, it is a combination of
men and women from all over the South
who make up its administration, faculty,
and student body.
The basic ideas which will make Au­burn
a more progressive and liberal insti­tution
must come from and must be appro­ved
by this group of people. No one indivi­dual
can set the pace. Instead it must be
a genuine desire on the part of all to make
Auburn a leader in serving the spiritual
and physical needs of the people.
Another factor to be considered is that
this is a land-grant school born in the often
unfertile ground of Southern conservatism.
Its power as well as its weakness is due to
the area in which it has grown. Yet it is
because of the demanding needs of this
section that Auburn must strive to produce
thinking men and women who" are not
afraid to face frankly the problems of to­day.
However, being located in an often
ultra-conservative area is further evidence
of the possibilities of service which lie
before the institution. It presents a chal­lenge
for courageous and determined ac­tion
in educating and serving to an even
greater extent.
As we close our career as editor of The
Plainsman, we offer a sincere hope that the
people who lead and compose the great
institution of A.P.I, will move with assur­ance
to supply the spiritual as well as the
physical needs of the institution. Despite
the uncertainties of the world today, we
feel that by acts of raw courage Auburn
can move towards its mission among men
—to serve, guide and lead the people of
this area in democratic thinking and aboli­tion
of ignorance, prejudice and intoler­ance.
The uncertain future as well as the cer­tain
purpose of the institution offer a chal­lenge.
Let us not fail in meeting it square­ly
and forcefully. Let us move in unity and
understanding towards making Auburn, as
well as the area which it must serve, a
better place in which to live.

What Has Happened
To Prof Evaluation?
Dear Editor,
For many issues of The Plains­man,
people have been yammering
and yodeling for a system of teach­er
evaluation. Both editorial and
common lay writers have attacked
the problem of some of Auburn's
deadhead instructors and profes­sors
but with what results—?
Auburn's catalog is filled with
brainy sounding Ph.D.'s and no
doubt it raises the school's aca­demic
rating but the fact still re­mains
that plenty of these fine
upstanding members of Phi Beta
Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi just
aren't worth an unenthusiastic
hoot when it comes to the matter
of teaching.
The problem is not unrecognized
by the students and certainly ought
not to be by the administration—
since it has been brought so prom­inently
to that worthy body's at­tention
so many times. After all
the griping and pleading that's
been done through the student
publication of The Plainsman, one
of our best and freest ways of
expressing ourselves, and with
still nothing to show for it, I'd
like to ask a question. Just what
is it going to take to see a progres­sive
system of teacher selection
installed?
The flood of protesting letters
about the registration booklets
listing instructors as "Staff" paid
off in the fact that now practically
all courses are followed by the
teacher, unless it has not actually
been decided about the instructor.
How much more is it going to take
to at least get a practical floor
plan of the idea in regard to this
even more important problem into
action?
Since The Plainsman crusades
have paid off so well in the past,
couldn't you start another even
bigger and stronger one than last
year's for this business of a system
of teacher evaluation?
Thanks for a fine set of papers
this summer.
Yours for a bigger and better
AUBURN,
Pat Armstrong
country folks and don't go .in for
that arty stuff.
Writers can generally be di­vided
into two distinct categories;
(1) those who write for money
and, (2) those who write to satis­fy
a creative desire within them­selves.
The writers for the review
would naturally fall into the latter
classification.
There has been only one sure­fire
story plot since the day Sam­son
was hooked by Delila up un­til
the present day. Most all of the
money-making novelists, s h o rt
story writers, and movie writers
of today use this basic plot in al­most
all of their writings. It is
simply the familiar boy meets girl
—boy loses girl—boy wins girl
routine. It has been run through
the mill time after time. But it
still sells like the devil.
But there are some writers who
don't like this plot. You will find
them holed away in some two-bit
hotel room creating literature for
posterity and wishing they could
sell something once in awhile.
They also write for the auburn
review.
I do not wish to condemn the
auburn review too much; the pub­lication
is still in its infant stage,
and if given enough time, it could
possibly blossom out into a top-notch
publication—such as the
PLAINSMAN. Maybe some day,
they might even be able to make
some money off the little maga­zine.
,
Please, Mr. auburn review edi­tor,
climb down off your literary'
pedestal and put your ear to the
ground. If you will start putting
some good ole blood and guts, old
fashion love, and good jokes in
your magazine, I might even bor­row
a quarter and buy one this
fall.
Sincerely
Bunny Honicker
t)ear Editor:
After wading though the literary
slush found in the past few issues
of the auburn review—as they so
q u a i n t l y display their title—I
wonder if the review staff is really
serious about putting out an issue
this fall. Surely the jokers know by
now that the majority of us Aub­urn
students are just plain ole

Plainsman Suffers Loss At Helm
jAcfam Huff, Auburn s First Graa,
Neglected By Alabama Press
By Jim Everett
by Graham McTeer
Having worked closely and constantly with Editor Ed
Crawford on The Plainsman for over a year, I am going to
devote this space to a personal, if somewhat inadequate, tri­bute
in this, his last issue.
Truly, the "boss" is completely deserving of tribute. How­ever,
disliking sentimentality, he
been strongly concerned about
matters of human rights. A man
of Christian background and up-to-
date Christian beliefs, he has
zealously fought attitudes of pre­judice
towards human beings dis­criminated
against for minor dif­ferences.
This has upset many of
those ruled by tradition and
brought Up in an atmosphere of
malign beliefs, but the argument
has been sound, and hard to re­fute.
Although often upset by acts cf
injustice and by too common at­titudes
among even intelligent
men, Crawford has an eye to the
future, and is encouraged by the
smallest sign of progressiveness.
As an editor, he has been first-rate.
Although he has come in for
a due amount of criticism, much
of it baseless, some sound, he has
been praised by those qualified to
judge, and also by the majority
of the reading public. To his staff
he has been an inspiration and
an incentive to extra effort, as
well as a guiding hand.
Many persons traditionally used
to the submissiveness of. yes-men
have been surprised by the cour­age
and determination of one of
such small stature. At the same
time, the editor's diplomacy and
McTeer
declined to write a "swan song"
as such, devoting his last editor­ial
to the one thing probably
strongest in his
heart—Auburn,
and the prob­lems
facing it
t o d a y . Editor
Crawford h as
been a n Au­burn
man from
birth; as a stu­dent,
he h as
played a strong
part in "foster­ing
the Auburn
spirit;" as ar.
alumnus, his ties with his alma
mater will be active ones, and
Auburn will be proud to claim
him as one of her own.
In position to have more effect
than the average student in pro­pounding
his views, Crawford
though always proud of what Au­burn
has accomplished, feels a
deep sense of concern over many
aspects of the college which do
not tend to develop progressively
nor quite reach the maximum of
their potentialties. He has said as
much in his editorial column, and
it is hoped that his words haven't
fallen on deaf ears.
In addition to his interest in the
problems of the college, he has
tact in seeking a true picture and
standing up for the right have
been of unusual quality for one
no more experienced through
years in the ways of the world.
The editor has been actively in­terested
in many fields, but The
Plainsman has been his passion.
For over a year he has been The
Plainsman, proud of its success,
concerned over its shortcomings.
Highly conscientious, he wouldn't
accept a sloppy or half-time job,
he aimed high, and usually hit.
Hardly a week went by with­out
his saying "I don't see how
we possibly can come out," but
his creativeness always pulled
us through. He has sought com­plete
and impartial coverage,
bringing on extra work for him­self
and an undermanned staff.
He disliked falling into a rut; his
new and fresh ideas seemed to
never cease, however, to the
amazement of those working with
him.
He has been the center of close
and happy group of workers.
With him at its head, the local
Fourth Estate has been a kind of
fraternity, The Plainsman office
a second home. To him and to his
associates The Plainsman this
year has been a wonderful ex­perience;
one always to be re­membered.
Ed Crawford will miss
his job as he steps down from the
editorship this week, but more
than that, The Plainsman, as a
publication and as a group of
students, will miss him.
Home Town Mania
By Billy Rogers
If the congregation isn't speci­fically
for dissipation, be they de­generates,
high-brows with old
briars, or sanctified young men
planning missionary work, their
conversation will invariably get
around to the old home town. This
sacred topic defies and cuts across
lines of sex, age, and education.
It seems that unless a person can
reminisce with reverent intervals
for nostalgic tears, about his child­hood
scenes, he can regard any
aspirations for the presidency as
doomed.
Risking gross sacrilege, I must
confess that the only memories I
have about my home town are un­pleasant.
There was no little red
school house with a bell in the
front yard whose tolls still tinkle
faintly in my reveries. Our school
had a blaring electric system and
a principal who detested me. Once
he made me memorize all six stan­zas
of "America."
It's possible, but I don't recall
walking to school with any chub­by-
cheeked, calico-dressed, pig-tailed
little girl. It's a cinch that
if I did I didn't carry her books.
I didn't have any of my own. Ink
wells and pig-tail dippings were
non-existent, but I do remember
having a marvelous collection of
chalk that served me well once I
mastered writing. No girl with sly
smiles and brown eyes still haunts
my dreams. I couldn't even get a
date..
What about those shady streets?
The laughter surrounding the
corner drug store? The circus'
yearly visit? All tasty bits of talk
which home-town lovers chew on
for hours and expect people to
digest. I haven't stomach enough
for it. In the first place, the only
trees on my street were telephone
poles, and I can't get romantic
about creosote. There wasn't a
corner drug store, there wasn't
«ven a corner. No decent circus
would stop in my home town, but
I rather enjoyed the indecent ones.
There was a ditch back of our
house, but not the babbling brook
heralded by self-styled poets. It
was impossible to roll up your
pants leg and wade in its cooling
water because of the ever present
ring worms, and besides, there
wasn't any water.
No kindly old man whittled
sling shots for me. The people
didn't seem particularly friendly.
Home-made jam is not my favo­rite
dish, and surely there are
more entertaining things than
three-year-old movies.
For these reasons I'll leave my
homely town with its sewing cir­cles,
snuff-stained side walks and
wild chases after the fire truck to
those who like it. My home will
be where I hang my hat—when I
get a hat.
Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
Everytime I turn around I hear
somebody complaining about the
nation's newspapers. And let me
hasten to add at this point that
most of these accusations are true.
Because of the jpress, people are
led to believe that Owen Latti-more
is a Communist. They are
also told by the papers that he is
not a Communist. Because of the
journalists, people believe that
Truman is a genius and also that
he i s ruining the country; Accord­ing
to the newspapers, Roosevelt
was the saviour of his country and
a notorious demagogue.
The press has said that we are
tottering on the brink of destruc­tion
in Korea, and that our forces
have the situation well in hand.
Editorially, newspapers have con­tended
that comic strips are the
greatest boon to learning since the
invention of the ball point pen,
and that they are more devastat­ing
to the future of mankind than
the Black Plague.
Some terrible, but true, things
have been written about the mem­bers
of the Fourth Estate. For one
thing, they work for money. And
department stores dictate the edi­torials
they print. Of course, you
can find other journals, according
to the public, whose editorial poli­ties
are directed by the CIO or
perhaps even the Kremlin.
In short, newspaper people have
put the average American in a
peculiar position in the world to­day.
He is forced to undergo the
rather difficult task of making up
his own mind, instead of having
the one state-directed paper do it
-for him.
I wonder if there is any signifi­cance
in the fact that a New York
bookseller recently marked down
a volume entitled "We Can Do
Business With Russia" from $2.50
to $.25,
* « *
Edith Rose has made a study of
the 50 most universal family names
in the United States, which she
discusses in "America's First Fifty
Families." According to Miss Rose,
four and a half million people in
this country have one of 50 names.
"The Smiths outnumber a 11
others. The Johnsons, Browns,
Williams, and Millers come next."
Surprisingly, the Jones, who form­erly
were second, are now in sixth
place. -
Colors are very popular as fam­ily
names with the Greens, Blacks
and White leading the list. Other
frequently found names include
the Jameses, Jacksons, Harrises
and Martins. Tied for last place
in this group of 50 are the Owens
and Nichols families.
With graduation approaching next week, I am shocked
that somewhere between the journalistic extremes in the
state, no feature story has appeared about the very first Au­burn
graduate—one Adam C. Huff. Not since that graduation
date, June 22, 1870, when an interesting account of the grad­uate
appeared in the East Alabama Gazette (July issue), has
anything more been printed about Adam.
Huff, according to the Gazette, first rode into Auburn on
his father's mule in the fall of 1858, the.year
after the college was founded. A strapping
outh of 27, Adam had finished up the acti­vities
on the family plantation, shipped the
cotton to New Orleans and arrived in Auburn
accompanied by his personal slave, Sam. (It
was later said that Sam'was the inspiration
|for the world famous Uncle Remus, created
by Joel Chandler Harris, who had met Adam
land Sam at a KKK convention in Atlanta.
This was confirmed by the Gazette since both
Everett Huff and Harris were the same age and mem­bers
of the KKK.)
"War clouds stopped Huff's education," said the Gazette,
"when the Yankees fired on Charleston." Adam felt it hit-duty
to go and refused to listen to his father's messenger's
gasping plea to hire someone to go in his place. Adam donned
the Grey! Having worked on the Orange and Blue, he tried
to become field correspondent for Grit but found the position
already filled.
In battle, "Minnie" balls from his favorite squirrel gun
brought down many of Sherman's soldiers as they rolled
down through Georgia to Jekyll Island. Adam's acquaintance
with Molly Pitcher accounted for the wide-eyed horror of
the Blues when they charged down Bunker Hill and saw a
frail Southern woman loading a cannon and almost fanati­cally
screaming "War Eagle!"
The year was 1868 when Huff returned, staggered past the
Auburn depot and walked up College Street. Suction in the
red mud almost pulled the fertilizer sacks from around his
feet. Carpetbaggers jeered at him and Sam had deserted him
to work up North. Samford Hall had been burned and the
wounded' still moaned in Langdon. The bell of Samford lav-cracked
in the ashes. It was later stolen by scalawags and
sold for scrap metal.
Times were hard during the reconstruction, but Huff,
determined to continue his education, worked eight hours a
day turning land on a nearby farm. Their family fortune was
gone, cattle were dead, jewelry lost in the raids, and their
home was burned. (Here, part of the article in the Gazette
was torn and unreadable. Several paragraphs later Huff's
activities in school were listed.)
On the campus Adam rejuvenated the local chapter of the
KKK, which was active until Bull Connor's recent threat tc
the members. They met weekly, according to the Gazette, and
quite often burned crosses on the lawns of rich carpetbaggers
who preyed on the 12 students then in school.
Favorite recreation of Huff and friends was painting
fraternity letters on the well-boxes. The two wells, one on
College Street and the other on Magnolia, served students,
townspeople and local livestock. However, quite often mules
shied away when they saw Gamma Gamma Upsilon painted
on the box in bold red letters. It was for this reason that the
city stopped such action under threat of a bale-of-cotton fine.
Outstanding in Auburn's building program during the re­construction,
according to the Gazette, was the construction
of the New Building adjacent to the college stables.
Many more interesting facts are given in the Gazette's in­teresting
revelation—so many that I can't give them all here,
but if any interested persons would like to read the whole
episode of Adam € . Huff, Auburn's first grad, they will find
it in the library bound volumes of the Gazette, which, by the
way, is now extinct.

HAUGEN FAMILY PREPS TO FIRE ON TARGET
/
&-THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Aug. 16,19^~^^
THE ARCHERY INCLINED HAUGENS prepared to lire at target as they practice for future
archery competition.
Members of the family prepared to shoot at the target are Sonja, 10; Sally, 11; Arnold, Jr.,
13; Mrs. Haugen, and Dr. Haugen. This month the Haugens plan to enter the national archery tour­nament
in Tawas City, Mich.
Haugen Family Makes Brilliant Record
In Archery; Wins Many Top Awards
By Kate Harris
There's a family in Auburn that can call out its own mil­itia.
They're the Arnold O. Haugens.
A target doesn't last as long as butter in hot soup when
the five Haugens pull their bows and let those arrows fly.
Haugen, a big, blonde Ph. D.,
Who is leader of Alabama Co
operative Wildlife Research at
A.P.I., took up archery as a hobby
When he was an undergraduate
at the University of Washington.
He and his wife were strolling
through the streets of Seattle,
.Wash., one Friday night, attempt-.,
ing to relax from a week of stren­uous
college study when they
passed a motion picture house.
The movie wasn't too good, as
he remembers it, but the stage

of a new interest in life for the
Haugens.
Howard Hill, the world famous
archery expert who once attend­ed
Auburn, was putting on a de­monstration
of his art. Fascinated
by the stage show, Haugen decid­ed
to make somejurchery equip­ment
and try out the sport.
National President
Dr. Haugen is now president of
the National Field Archery Asso­ciation,
which has more than 5,-
000 members scattered through­out
the United States, Japan, Aus­tralia,
New Zealand, South Amer­ica
and Canada.
The Alabama Archery Associa­tion,
which Dr. Haugen helped
organize here last spring, is the
second group he has founded. He
also helped to organize the Mich­igan
Bow Hunters Association
while he was with the Michigan
State Department of Conserva­tion.
At the Southeastern Archery
tournament held early this month
in Auburn, each of the Haugens
came up with top honors in his
or her class.
The shooting members of the
family include Dr. and Mrs. Hau­gen;
Arnold, Jr., 13; Sally, 11;
and Sonja, 10. Eight-month-old
Chris will learn to wield a bow
and arrow before he does his oat­meal
spoon.
In addition to the Southeastern
tournament honors, Dr. Haugen
was also winner of the Alabama
championship in April.
Arnold's a Champ
Arnold holds the junior cham­pionship
for Alabama. This sum­mer
Arnold is archery instructor
on the staff of Camp Rotary near
Montgomery. Before coming to
Auburn a year ago, he was Mid­west
champion in his age group.
Dr. Haugen says participation
in archery by the American peo­ple
has increased twenty-five­fold
in the past 10 years. Now, he
pointed out, there are about 25,-
000 persons hunting with bow and
arrow in the states of Washington
and Michigan alone. About 5,000
of these hunt big game, particul­arly
dear and bear.
Dr. Haugen has until recently
made most of the family's archery
equipment. Since the war, how­ever,
he has found it more pract­ical
to buy bows because the bet­ter
ones are made of layers of
laminations — aluminum, wood
and fiber glass put together under
specific temperatures with special
glues.
This month the Haugen family
will journey to Michigan where
they will compete in the national
archery tournament at Tawas
City.
Skelton Returns
To Faculty Post
Back on the A.P.I, campus after
receiving his Ph.Dr in foreign
language is Robert B. Skelton, who
has recently been appointed to the

Skelton received his doctorate

June after specializing in Old
Italian, Medieval Spanish lang­uage

science.
A native of Auburn, Mich.,
Skelton attended Bay City Michi­gan
Junior C o l l e g e , Michigan
Normal where he received his
B.A., and the University of Michi­gan
where he received his M.A.
He joined the A.P.L leaching staff
in -1939, but went on leave in
February 1942 to study at the
University of Brazil where he had
a Roosevelt Fellowship. From
there he went to the University of
Chile'where he had a Chilean gov­ernment
fellowship.
Skelton then served three years
in the Navy during World War II
before returning to Auburn in
February, 1*946. He left the cam­pus
again in March, 1949, to begin
work on his doctorate.

Fall Drills Begin
Here in 16 Days;
Over 50 Expected
By J i m m y Coleman
. In the fall a young man's fancy,
turns to' football—and exactly ] 6
days from today—50-odd young
men will begin preparing for Au­burn's
1950 gridiron season on
Drake Field.
The Field House has stepped up
its tempo in preparation for the
beginning of another football
year. Crates of new equipment
have arrived; the grounds have
been carefully prepared for the
daily practices; housing accom­modations
have been reserved for
incoming freshmen; and training
strategy has long been mapped in
advance.
Open Against Wofford
For just 21 days following the
opening day of drills, the Tigers
will make their annual 58-mile
trek to Montgomery's Cramton
SUCCESSOR TO TRAVELIN' TRAV?
TALENTED TACKLE
JUNIOR QUARTERBACKS—These two "T" quarterbacks,
Allan Parks (left) of Jackson, Miss., and Bill Tucker of Birming­ham,
will battle on equal terms for the starting nod at the signal-calling
post this fall. Tucker is more experienced but Parks has
shown vast improvement. They both weigh 180 but Parks, at
six-feet, is an inch taller.
LINE STANDOUT — Edward
(Foots) Bauer, junior tackle
from Montgomery, is one of the
more talented Auburn linemen.
He was named to the Associated
Press All-Sophomore s e c o n d
team last season and is expected
to star this fall. A mediocre line­man
at Sidney Lanier in Mont­gomery,
he has developed into
a possible All-SEC selection.
Bowl for the season's opener. The
opposition will be Wofford Col­lege
whose football team played
20 games during the 1948 and
1949 season without a defeat.
Wofford, located at Spartan­burg,
S.C., is a member of the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association. Their football team
uses the Tennessee single-wing
system offense, a system, inci­dentally,
that Auburn did not
have the advantage of facing last
season.
The reason for the Tennessee
system at Wofford is Coach Phil
Dickens, who did his gridiron gal­livanting
for Gen. Robert Neyland
at the University of Tennessee in
the middle 1930s. Dickens, 36
years old, is regarded as a keen
football strategist. He was an All-
Southeastern-tailback on the 1937
Vol eleven, being named to the
Associated Press mythical team
along with two Auburn stars,
End Joel Eaves and Center Wal­ter
Gilbert.
Eaves, now basketball coach
and freshman end coach here, re­members
Dickens as a "very
smart ballplayer." Eaves caught
the lone touchdown pass of the
day from Bobbie Blake that won
the game for Auburn his senior
year, 6-0.
Dickens is beginning his fourth
year as coach at Wofford. His re­cord
of three seasons includes
two consecutive undefeated sea­sons
with 21 wins, five +ies, and
five losses. The five ties were all
played in the 1948 season and
must have set something of a col­legiate
record since they were re­gistered
successively.
Auburn and Wofford have met
only once previously in football,
in 1930, when Chet Wayne field­ed
his first Tiger team. Dunham
Harkins was the captain and Au­burn
won, 38-6.
Vandy Next
The following week, September
30, Auburn will fly to Nashville
to meet the "jinx" team—Vander-bilt's
Commodores.
Auburn's all-time grid record
with 1950 opponents nearly equals
or is better than most, excepting
the Commodores. There have been
24 games played, Vandy has won'
17 of them, Auburn six, and one
ended irt-a !t*S. '< — J A i 3 il
The Commodores-have lost
Quarterback Jamie Wade, Waif-backs
Lee Nalley, Bobby Berry,
and Herb Rich but they still have
Fullbacks Dean Davidson and
p r o m i s i n g Quarterback Bill
Wade.
In the line they were hurt by
the loss of End Bud Curtis and
Tackle Carl Copp, but Bucky
Curtis and Russ Falkinberry will
fill their places easily.
Vandy will be favored again
but the Tigers will be gunning for
that upset which is sure to come.
Newcomer
For the first time in history
Auburn will meet Southeastern
Louisiana College of Hammond,
La. Coached by E. L. (Ned) Mc-
Gehee, a former Tulane athlete,
SLC's Lions will have a big, fast,
line and a light, fast backfield,
according to reports from the
Hammond publicity office.
The Lions finished third in the
competitive Gulf Shores Confer­ence-
last season and are expected
to do better this year.
Guard Bill Callery and Tackle
Jim Keaton are two linesmen ex­pected
to attract attention and
Ridley Boudreaux, a New Orleans
all-state selection, is counted on
to shine among the backs.
Last season Southeastern Lou­isiana
whipped two Alabama col­leges—
Livingston and Jackson­ville^—
and -humbled Pensacola

STARTS 3RD YEAR
BEGINNING his third season
as head coach of Auburn's foot­ball
Tigers, Earl Brown faces one
of the roughest schedules in the
Southeastern Conference. Brown
will start fall drills on Septem­ber
1 when 50-odd candidates
report for practice.
division SEC teams, LSU and Tu­lane,
romped to victories, but
only after being held in check
for most of the game.
Lack of manpower is expected
to be Southeastern Louisiana's
main disadvantage when they
meet the Tigers in Cliff Hare
Stadium, October 7.
Gator Meat?
When a new coach takes over
in the Southeastern Conference
he isn't treated so hospitably as
far as the other teams are con­cerned.
Bill Edwards at Vandy,
Slick Morton at Mississippi State,
and our own Earl Brown had it
rough their first seasons. It is al­most
a certainty that Florida's
Bob Woodruff will also get his
initial baptism of fire this fall.
Auburn will play the Gators in
Gainesville and the loss of backs
Charlie Hunsinger, John Cox and
Russell Godwin along with Center
Jimmy Kynes, End Tommy Bis­hop,
Guards Cliff Sutton and
Frank Lorenzo, a n d Tackles
Frank Dempsey and John Naty-shak,
won't help matters at all
for Florida. Auburn was hit
equally as hard, to be sure, but
Gator reserves seem to be in even
worse shape.
Three Gators who have played
brilliantly against Auburn and
will return this fall are Ends Fal
Johnson and Don Brown. Exper­ienced
Quarterback Angus Wil­liams
will also be on hand.
Tech Alway Strong
Grant Field, Atlanta, will be
the scene once again of another
Tiger-Yellow Jacket battle. Last
year's was full of thrills to the
end as Auburn scored three TDs
in 11 minutes of breathtaking
play.
Center Bob Bossoms, Tackle
Dan Bradach, and End Dick Har-vin
will make their line tough.
Darrell Crawford and Joe Salome
appear to be the two outstanding
quarterbacks while Bob McCoy
and Bobby North head a list of
bright backfield performers.
Tulane Plays JHere
Coach Henry Frnka and his
Tulane Green Wave will match
wits with the Tigers on Hare
Stadium's well-manicured turf
October 28.
Always well-stocked with good
gridders, Tulane will feature one
of the best tackles in the loop in
Paul Lea plus Halfback George
Kinek, a 6-2, 190-pound senior
who can really step. Veteran Joe
Ernest will do the quarterbacking
with Bill Bonar's assistance.
Play Maroons There
Auburn's victory over Missis­sippi
State last season was the
first in 10 years but the Tigers
intend to keep the situation re­versed
awhile themselves. They
will travel to Starkeville to meet
Slick Morton's apparently weak
Maroons. Reports have it, how­ever,
that State has a horde of
"Red Shirts" or junior college
transferees that he expects to knit
into a fine rough ball club.
Returning lettermen include
Fullback Jack Rucker, a fine de­fensive
performer; Quarterbacks
Max Stainbrook and Joe McNair;
and junior Tackle Billy Pyron.
"Beat Jawja"
Coach Wallace Butts is expect­ed
to field one of his better teams
this fall. Last season he had the
worst record in his 10 years at
Georgia and it might have been
the lull before the storm.
With Mai Cook and Billy Grant,
no longer can he wail about "in­experienced
quarterbacks," nor
can he complain about the short­comings
of such backs as Zippy
Morocco, Billy Mixon, or Lukie
Brunson.

SPEEDY BACK
TALENTED TIGER—Dwight
Hitt; shifty 175-pounder from
Jackson, Miss., played more
than any sophomore on the
Auburn squad last season. He
is good on defense or offense
and is expected to take over the
punt returning duties for the
Tigers again this season. Hitt is
also a capable passer.
Nick Feher are no just, ordinary
linemen, either; • "• •' >
Clemson for Homecoming.
All the old grads, including a big
reunion of the 1932 team, will be
on hand to watch a Tiger vs. Tiger
battle in Hare Stadium. Coach
Frank Howard will bring his
single-wing Clemsons here for
another stubborn battle. T he
South Carolinians whipped . Au-
—i
burn 7-6 two years ago and tied
20-20 last season, both games i n /
Mobile. »
Clemson expects to field a bet­ter
team than last year's. There
will be a seasoned man at every
position with Fred Cone and Ray;r
Mathews as the backfield stand-.,
outs.
The game should be a good one, '-
with the Auburn team having t h e : :
advantage of playing b e f o r e ' -
homefolks.
Alabama
A glance at Alabama's roster
will readily reveal the reason*
for their high ranking in the pre- '
season predictions. To say it
imildly, the Crimson Tide is
{"loaded." ' : : : ' , ! !
cast over Tide followers because
of the Auburn upset victory, their
1949 record of 6-3-1 wasn't so
terrible.
Coach Red Drew has Hank
Crisp to tutor the linemen and
the Tide can be easily labeled as
the "SEC darkhorse."
But Auburn still holds an 8-5-1
advantage in games won, and
anything can happen between
now and December.
SHIFTY MISSISSIPPI LAD AT HALFBACK
SWIFT SENIOR—Bill Davis, 175-pound senior from Corinth,
Miss., will be in the thick of competition for the No. 1 left half­back
position when fall practice starts Sept. 1. Davis is a kick-off
return specialist and is an excellent pass receiver. Last year
he caught three aerials for an average of 35.5 yards per catch.
2 NeW Dorm Heads

The All-Star Quartet was sche­duled
as a last-minute replace­ment,
but there was nothing un­professional
about their concert.
Too often Auburn audiences have
felt that the performers on the
Concert and Lecture Series did
not have their hearts in their per­formances,
and we have wonder­ed
if it was because our own anti­pathy
to culture was sensed by
artists.
But last Tuesday night was a
delight to those who attended;
the artists were gracious, charm­ing,
and obviously enjoyed being
with us. In addition, they were,
as far as we could tell, as talented
and as well trained as any other
performers who have played here
in the last few quarters.
