V-W' Jhs TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT % VOL. LXXVII ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1951 Number 14 THREE OF THE NEW TRUSTEES Samford HitchcocJ< Wright Persons Appoints Four New Trustees Samford, Hitchcock, Roberts And Wright » Appointed By Persons To 12-Year Terms \ By Tom Duke :# Newly-inaugurated Gov. Gordon Persons lost little time in seeking the legislature's approval of his appointments to the A.P.I. Board of Trustees last week as the four new appointees were confirmed by the legislature last Wednesday. There was some reported opposition, mostly verbal, to the appointments but confirmation was secured one day after the appointments were announced. The new trustees' terms will run 12 years. / Frank P. Samford, Birmingham, was re-appointed to the board along with James G. Hitchcock, Opelika; G. H. "Monk" Wright, Auburn, and E. A. Roberts, Mobile. ._ „ _ . . , , .„ Student reaction to the new appointments was varied. Some students expressed little concern while others expressed surprise, especially at the appointment of Wright, Auburn mayor. Said one student who declined to be inden-, tified, "It does seem strange that student feelings weren't considered more, particularly with respect to Mayor Wright's appointment. Every time the student body has been incensed by city commission action, the resentment has been primarily directed at Wright." Governor Persons emphatically denied rumors that his board appointments were made for political reasons. A rumor had circulated in the state legislature that Persons sought the replacement of A.P.I. President Ralph Draughon. Speaking of his board appointments, the governor said that he had followed a "middle-of-the-road" policy in naming them. Persons stated that neither Wright nor Roberts knew of their appointments until the public announce-, ment was made. The governor termed Samford's appointment as "simply a re-appointment" and, said that he did not know how Samford felt about Dr. Draughon's election as president of A.P.I. However, Persons pointed out that Samford was on the board at the time Draughon was made president and was the one who moved that the selection be unanimous. Persons said that Hitchcock had told him recently that "he thought Dr.. Draughon was doing a good job." The governor did not comment on the feelings of the other two appointees. In denying that any political significance could be attached to the appointments, Persons stated that both Samford and Roberts had been against him politically while he thought Hitchcock and Wright had been for him. The governor was quoted as saying, "If I had wanted to appoint a board with any particular thing in mind, I most assuredly could have found such a board." Samford is . president of the Liberty National Life Insurance Company of Birmingham and is an Auburn graduate. Hitchcock, a member of the Alabama Public Service Commission, is a former Auburn All American halfback. Roberts is president of the Waterman Steamship Lines of Mobile. Wright is executive vice-president of the First National Bank of Auburn and president of the city commission. Members of the Board of Trustees whose terms will expire in 1955 are Walker Reynolds, Ahhis-1 Jalowiez, ton; Dr. Joe Davis, Albertville, and Paul S. Hayley, Jasper. Board members whose terms expire in 1959 are Vernon S. Sum-merlin, Luverne; Judge W. ' L. Parrish, Clanton, arid Redus Collier, Decatur. Ex-officio members of the board are Governor Persons, who is chairman, and State Supeririteh-denfr- of"Educati©n W. J. Terry. Off-Campus Houses To Be Registered A committee operating under the Department of Student Welfare of the Student Executive Cabinet has drawn up plans for registering all rooms in private homes which are available for rent to students in Auburn. A card file will be kept on all the rooms registered. The file will contain such information as the address and the name of the renter; the price of the room and facilities for meals in the house. The project is designed primarily as a seVvice to the student body and will be operated by students. The project has been approved by the college. Registration, will begin January 31. The card files will be set up and available for student use by the beginning of the spring quarter. The registration survey will be conducted by fraternity pledges and Alplia Phi Omega service organization. Blue Key, O.D.K. and Squires will aid in the registration: and the Pan-Hellenic Council is giving the services of five pledges as typists. All students conducting the survey will be identified by a letter signed by Joe Pilcher.

Laney With Harry Knowles, editor, and Graham Everidge, business manager, leading, the staff of the Glomerata for 1951 has'reached the approximate half-way point toward completion of the 54th Glomerata. Full-scale work on the Glomerata was delayed until late October, 1950, due to the resignation of Ell wood W. Burkhardt "who was elected last May to Glomerata editorship. Burkhardt resigned when he was called to military service. Knowles, who was managing editor before Burkhardt's resignation, was promoted to his current position by the Auburn Publications Board on Oct. 25, 1950. The 1951 Glomerata will have, the same major divisions that were contained in the 53rd issue plus an editor Knowles-designed cover. In addition to an 11- page opening section and the largest sports section ever (25 pages), the other divisions are devoted to schools and administration, classes, student sections, activities, beauties and favorites, fraternities, sororities, organizations, and advertisements. The beauties and favorites were photographed last November in Birmingham by Charlie Preston. The pages between divisions will feature informal pictorial views of Auburn life. Delivery date is set for May 16. Appointments for the editorial staff are Bob Rives, athletic section manager; Doss Wills, beauties and favorites section manager, and Bailey Donnally, staff photographer. The business staff is composed of Bill Moore, assistant business and organization manager; Dan Stallings, advertising manager; Bill Cook, fraternities section and assistant advertising manager; Jeanne Hall, sororities section manager; Bill Kelly and Jim Williams, office managers.- Knowles stated that the staff is in dire "need of advertising men and typists, plus good workers for other chores around the: office. Anyone who feels that he is qualified or interested is urged to hustle over to the Glomerata office immediately. Office hours are from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Committee Recommendation Upheld; Coaching Job, Under Fire, Now Secure By Gordon Higgins Coach Earl Brown will remain at the helm of Auburn's football coaching staff, it was decided by a 21-man committee which met at the governor's mansion last Friday night. Brown's job had been under fire after Gov. Gordon Persons announced in a press conference last Wednesday afternoon that he had recommended that Brown's contract be bought up and a successor be obtained. A statement to the effect that Brown would remain as Auburn head coach at least until his present " contract expires (February 1952) was issued by A.P.I. President Ralph Draughon, Governor Persons? and Auburn Athletic Director Wilbur Hutsell, following Friday's two-hour session. Auburn students and alumni had rallied behind Draughon and the recommendation of the A.P.I, faculty athletic committee in the controversy over Brown's status. Votes of confidence, in the form of letters, were sent to Draughon this week by Joe Pilcher, president of the Student Executive Cabinet, and Milton Blount, president of the Interfraternity Council. Texts of the letters are printed below. Auburn football captain and alternate captain, Foots Bauer and Allan Parks, attended the meeting representing the football squad. They were not invited but were admitted to the gathering. Bauer and Parks presented a petition signed by 62 players, 57 of whom will return next year, to the effect that the team had confidence in Brown and disapproved the governor's action. Dr. Draughon presented the recommendation of the faculty athletic committee which had been investigating the Auburn grid situation, to the gathering. It read, "It is the recommendation of the faculty athletic committee that the present contract of Coach Earl Brown remain in effect and that definite plans be made for strengthening the coaching staff." At press time, no reports ; of strengthening moves were available. Draughon further stated that in light of all aspects of the situation, including the uncertainty in the present national mobilization of manpower, a change at this time would, not be helpful to the Auburn football program. The recommendation was fully discussed and the final decision 'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS' Auburn Speakers Attend FSU Debate Five members of the Auburn debate team, Bill Currie, Montgomery; Herbert Nelson, Mobile; Robert B r y s o n , Hattiesburg, Miss.; Bruce Welch, Columbus, Ga., and Jim Kirkpatrick, Birmingham, participated in • a debate tournament recently at Florida S t a t e University. Debate Coach Prof. Joseph Mahaffey accompanied the group. The Auburn contestants won four third place medals in debate, extemporaneous speaking a nd parliamentary discussion. Twelve Southern schools participated in the tournament. LOVELY Mariella Hicks, fourth coed to appear in the winter "Loveliest" series, is a freshman in home economics from Fairfax. She is a pledge to Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. (A.P.I, photo by Barton Perry.) ~ was to abide by the proposal of the athletic committee. Unofficial reports said that 17 of the 21 present expressed sentiments favoring Brown's retention and that three of the dissenters favored abiding, by the committee's decision even though they approved of a coaching change. Governor Persons appeared to-take the decision in good spirits and issued a statement Saturday urging all Auburn alumni to get behind Coach Earl Brown in -an effort to bolster the Auburn football program. He said, "If this be the will of the majority, there is but one thing we can do, and that is to pull together." Besides Draughon, Persons, and Hutsell, those who attended the meeting Friday night included Auburn Alumni Association President W. C. Sugg, Jr., Atlanta; George A. Mattison, Sr., Birmingham, Auburn Educational Foundation President, and A.P.I, student Executive Cabinet President Joe Pilcher. From the faculty athletic committee were Dean Roger Allen, Dr. Charles Simmons, college busi-n e s s manager Travis Ingram, Prof. J. E. "Boozer" Pitts, and Prof. W. B. "Trigger" McGehee. In addition to Sugg, the educational foundation was represented by Malcolm Smith, Al Biggio, and Elmer Bissel of Birmingham and Frank Tennile of Montgomery. The alumni association was represented by Sugg, Ken Lott, Mobile; Luther Smith, Jackson, Miss.; Clyde Pearson, Jr., Montgomery; Paul Brinson, Mobile, and Billy Duncan, Decatur. Auburn alumni secretary Harry M. "Happy" Davis also attended the meeting. Texts of Pilcher's and Blount's letters were: Dear Dr. Draughon: On behalf of the Auburn Student Body, I would like to endorse the stand which you have taken in retaining Earl Brown as head football coach. In view of all factors involved, your decision offered the best possible course of action. Also, you are to be highly commended for preventing the administration of Auburn's affairs from becoming involved in state politics. Political activities are incongruous with all phases of an educational institution such as Auburn, and can prove highly detrimental both to the school and to the state. We of the student body are in full accord both with your decision to retain Coach Brown and your policy of keeping Auburn out of state politics. Sincerely yours, Joe Pilcher, President Student Executive Cabinet Dear Dr. Draughon: On behalf of the Auburn Interfraternity Council I would like to take this opportunity to completely endorse the stand taken by you in the recent controversy over Coach Earl Brown and to say that your endeavor to keep the Alabama Polytechnic Institute separate and apart from state politics is highly commendable. May I assure you that the Interfraternity Council and the student body as a whole will stand behind you and- your policy as regards this matter. v Sincerely, J.'

You see, we were as confused as the rest of the student body when we read of your determination to fire Coach Earl Brown. • Our first reaction was one of resentment at what we felt was an unwarranted entrance of politics into a matter which was the concern of^the school administration. Naturally, this resentment subsided somewhat as the story unfolded. However, we were surprised at your statement— made after the Auburn Athletic Committee, seconded by 'the group which met at your home last Friday night, decided to retain. Coach Brown for another year*—to the effect that "Earl Brown won his fourth game" and that you conceded defeat. We presume that you mean that Brown won out over you and that is what we regret. For, Governor, we are of the opinion that you should never have been in a game with Brown, win or lose. We rather feel that you two aren't in the same league—in our opinion college football is of minor league importance as compared to the administration of a state's government. Then after the decision to keep Brown had been established, we were concerned over what your reaction might be. Knowing that it takes a big man to accept the will of the majority when he has strong feelings to the contrary—particularly after a public airing of the question—we hoped we weren't wrong in believing that you irics Politics is always an interesting thing, whether from the point of view of an active participant or merely as a spectator. And, having viewed campus politics in both lights, we have developed a very intense interest in its various aspects. Like everyone else, we view the elections with 'mixed feelings—we were surprised and very much concerned last fall when evidence of fraud was uncovered during the Miss Auburn election. One aspect is very distressing to us: the fact that there is often little or no competition for were plenty big enough to accept the decision without harboring resentment. You proved you were in your good-humor, ed acceptance of the majority will and with your "pull together" statement. For this, we are truly thankful. We are confident that this difference of opinion will not be held against the school and its administration when you are willing to accept public-defeat gracefully and we are sure that Auburn will continue to be proud that an Auburn man is governor of the state. In looking back over the case Governor, we are sure that you had good intentions throughout even though we hold an opposite point of view on the Auburn coaching situation. Certainly, the out-in-the-open way the thing was handled bespeaks honest intent. That such a thing could have been done through the Board of Trustees seems likely; but the fact that you made a public statement of intent is much more acceptable to us than any surreptitious move through the Trustees would have been, even though we regret that you even chose to take a hand in the matter in any 'way. We appreciate t h e honesty with which you went at the question. Finally, we'd just like to say that we here at Auburn are glad to see the trouble all settled and out of the hands of a sometimes rumor-reporting press. We regret the bad publicity that fell upon the school, Coach Brown, and yourself and are glad to see it all over. Best of luck in your state administration. Respectfully, Editor The Plainsman and, with the support of the Ag Hill constituency, g e t this candidate elected. Since the entire number of students enrolled in the School of Agriculture never numbers over 15 per cent of the total enrollment, this has appeared to us as quite a feat as well as quite a joke on the rest of the student body. Perhaps t h e . more-than-coincidental election of Alpha Gamma Rho candidates can be attributed to the fact that, as in politics on state and national levels, the agrarian element, takes quite an interest in the various elective positions. Right..now, . 1i+- J • ,•.., . n • , . - ., • -politics and exercises no little control were hoping that some element 'of; com- Zover p o l i t i c s i n m a n y a r e a s .

While we're wa ibtienfog reto t hsee es pwrihnagt ^ e x i s t i n g c o n d i t i o n h e r e o n t h e p l a i n s develops in the line' of competition, we can't help being amused by another aspect of local politics. During our four years on the campus, we have been quite amused by the fact that more often than not, the coeds who were elected "Miss Auburn" and "Miss Homecoming" were sponsored by the same fraternity and backed by the same element -Alpha Gamma Rho and Ag Hill. Of course, as was the case this year, the candidates were strong ones in their own right but it has nevertheless been more than coincidental that for the last four years, and the precedent had been set long before we came here, Ag Hill has attained a high batting average in sponsoring winning candidates in these popularity elections. Recently, Alpha Gamma Rho garnered another title for a candidate, this time for one of its members, when the final results of the King For A Day contest were announced. This gives Ag Hill a three for three record this year. The reason for our amusement is that Alpha Gamma Rho has no more than 50 members and yet can sponsor a candidate It Makes One Proud Much has been said about A.P.I. Presi-' dent Ralph Draughon's dignified, diplomatic handling of the affaire de coach last week. This week Tom Cannon covers the subject quite well for The Plainsman in his "Cannon Report." is certainly not to AGR's discredit. Indeed, it bespeaks well for this fraternity that it can wield such an influence. And, Ag Hill comes in for its share of justifiable pride in being able to turn out enough voters to control three elections inside of four months. The joke is on the rest of the campus that AGR and Ag Hill can out-influence and out-vote-solicit them in these elections. As one member of Alpha Gamma Rho said in an article in the Xi Cresent, the AGR periodical, "Many of the politicial 'big dogs' in other organizations are wondering just what techniques we (AGR) used." That, as the same writer said, "Everyone (AGR) seemed to have been keenly interested in spreading our share of influence on the campus," appears to have been established by the election victories. Now, we're anxious to see how the Ag Hill candidates come out in the spring elections. Perhaps Thomas Jefferson's dream of an agrarian republic will see the beginning of its culmination here. At any rate we'll be waiting to see just how strong Ag Hill runs in the coming elections. We second all the compliments that have been directed at Draughon and add our own. If ever we were proud of anyone, it was Ralph Draughon after Friday night's meeting. Auburn Plainsman # Published weekly by the students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

His well-rounded stomach protruded from the depths of the dark-gray coffin. He was clad in his black Sunday suit and his Freemason badge was in the lapel. The room smelled of tube roses. Just last Wednesday he had passed away. He had been mending the pasture fence. Will Hendrix found him down by the Creek Bend. He still clutched the posthole diggers in his hand. Jeff had always been a hard-working man. He had 10 mouths to feed, r Sadie Huff went into hysterics when she heard. But she soon rallied to clean the house and children. Close friends would soon arrive. Funerals were so tiring. But Jeff would have liked a good one. He was a thorough man. He had been an officer in the Freemasons. The Huff farm was 10 miles from Hogans-ville, population 3,063. The funeral would be in the Hogansville First Baptist Church. Jeff was a deacon. Will Hendrix and his family drove into the yard. It had just gotten dark., Will's four kids joined the Huff eight in whooping up the zeal of a death. They knew they could stay up late. It was just like the Farm Bureau fish fry. Jeff had been president. He was a good farmer. Mrs. Hendrix sniffled politely as she gazed into the coffin. Tube roses always did affect her. Will shuffled self-consciously to the fireplace. Jeff's corn-growing trophy was on the mantle. He won it at the County Fair in 1946. Folks always said Jeff was one of the best farmers in Heard County. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Franklin and Mrs. McDowall came in. They were members of Sadie's Home Demonstration Club. It met weekly in the 4-H clubhouse. Each filed past the bier and sniffled and nodded their heads sadly. Sadie offered them a chair. "Lord, I know it's been hard on you," Mrs. Wilson said, addressing her remark to Sadie. "But you never can tell when." Sadie looked at the fire and nodded. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," Mrs. McDowall mused. Her husband had died 10 years ago. "My Ben was took all sudden like. You never can tell when." "Yeah, you never can tell," Mrs. Franklin agreed. "Why, only last Tuesday, the day before Jeff went, I saw him in town and he was talking and laughing. You never would have thought. . . ." Her voice trailed off as she looked out the window. Sadie touched her handkerchief to her eyes. The kids were out on the porch yelling with delight at the antics of the clumsy hound puppy. He, too, knew it was a special occasion. "Children are just too young to know," sighed Mrs. Wilson. She took her embroidered handkerchief and dabbed her eyes. She liked to be sad. She often was sad when she killed a fryer for Sunday dinner. She had cried when, her own little Benny sang in the Christmas Pageant at the church. * "He was such a good man," . said Mrs. McDowall, even though she knew Jeff had made a batch of homebrew with Will Hendrix in the barn loft last Christmas. Inside she sneered at Jeff's drinking and him a deacon in the church. She had forgotten that her own Ben died with the smell of whiskey on his breath. Sadie continued to gaze into the fire and rocked. The old rocking chair had belonged to Jeff's grandfather. Mrs. Hendrix came in from washing the supper dishes. She was one of Sadie's best friends. They used to live near each other and rode the same school bus. Sadie rallied from her deep thought and thanked Mrs. Hendrix. "Well, I always like to help out," Mrs..H. replied. She went on to quote an appropriate passage from the Bible. Mrs. Franklin responded to a knock at the door. It was Jeff's Freemason brothers. They passed by the deceased and reacted appropriately and gathered in the corner. "He was certainly took sudden like," whispered Tom Hammond, president, in an attempt to begin a conversation. "Yeah, you just never can tell," returned Sam Miller, first • vice-president. Cannon Cannon Report By Tom Cannon Last week a serious threat to the future of Auburn developed when Alabama's, newly-inaugurated governor publicly announced that he had asked the president of the institution to find a new head football coach. Since the many ramifications of this situation have been widely discussed in the press, it is not my purpose to r e - p e a t h e re what has already b e en w r i t t e n . Rather, I wish t o congratulate the president for the skilled manner in which h e handled the occasion. Although we don't know exactly what happened behind the closed doors of the Governor's Mansion Friday night, the results which appeared in the paper Saturday morning indicate that an accomplished diplomat was in charge of the matter. It takes a tremendous amount of courage for the president of a s t a t e-supported \ institution to openly oppose the desires of the governor of the state. The possible consequences of his actions must have been evident to Dr. Draughon as he made his decision to stand by his convictions. Mr. Persons is in a position to either make or _break A.P.I. Through his influence on the state legislature and the Board of Trustees, he could control the appropriations for the school as well as b l o c k the president's plans. Knowing Mr. Persons as a staunch Auburn man, we are confident that he will not use his power to the detriment of his "alma mater. And knowing Dr. Draughon, we are sure that he will be able to unite the different interests involved in this matter for the good of Auburn. As evidence of his ability to do this, we point to the accomplishments of his administration. Since he assumed the presidency in 1948, Auburn has made steady progress. The institution has been accepted for membership in the accredited school group, the American Association of Universities. The faculty has been improved, the task of unifying the several branches is well underway, and for the first time in history, Auburn's enrollment exceeds that of the University of Alabama. Perhaps the most conspicuous attainment of the past two years is the badly-needed building program that has been started. During the next few months, situations may develop that will require the utmost skill and tact on the part of the president if Auburn is to continue to progress. Auburn students believe that Dr. Draughon possesses those attributes, and they will back him to the limit. "Any Further Irrelevant Questions?"

More and More # By Gene Moore •*r&- Folsom Administration Reviewed; Lack Of Cooperation Is Cited By Jim Jennings Jim Folsom's administration as governor of Alabama, which ended January 16, will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most famous and most turbulent in the history of the state. "Big Jim" campaigned' with a string band and a scrub bucket and entered the executive mansion with one of the largest popular votes ever record- , . . . . _ .. ,„ L' l him a campaign issue in a possible 1954 campaign for governor. Perhaps the most noteworthy legislation passed under Folsom's leadership was the anti-masking bill which provided a strong blow to the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. During the Folsom administration there was a large turn-over in the membership of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, the State Parole Board, and the State Docks Board. The number of paroles and pardons granted from the state prisons throughout the Folsom administration seemed excessive, and just before the end of the administration 350 prisoners were paroled or pardoned within 10 days. A large volume of criticism was directed at the Folsom-appointed members of the three-member parole board, Bill Drinkard and Glen Vinson, for the parole board policy. The odor of unsavory politics in connection with the state prisons and appointments has been suggested. Governor Folsom was liberal in his use of the state contingent fund and was reported to have en- (Continued on page 5) ed in the state. Nation-wide a t t e n t i o n was drawn to Alabama by the governor's kissing campaigns, his flight to California to see Gov. Earl Warren's daughter, his becoming involved in a maternity case and his marriage to Miss Jamelle Moore. These actions, the only ones attracting national attention, did not reflect credit to Folsom or to the position of governor. "Big Jim" was elected on a campaign of "cleaning out the capitol," and of old-age pensions, more paved roads and more pay for teachers. None of these goals were fully realized, although more roads were built during the Folsom administration than during the combined administrations of Sparks and Dixon. Teachers were granted a slight pay increase. Old age pensions were not granted; however the state welfare rolls more than doubled. Governor Folsom set a record for calling special sessions of the state legislature in an unsuccessful attempt to pass a re-apportionment law. This was widely regarded as a political move to give Of All Things By Jim Raulston The Auburn social season is now officially open. This past week end, when the first fraternity and sorority formals of the year were held, marked the beginning of a whirl of social events which should brighten the week ends on the campus for the next four and a half months. As they have done for numerous decades, Auburn men will bring in dates from all over the Southeast for these week ends. They'll wine them, dine them, dance them half to death, keep them out until the latest hour possible, and send them on their tired b u t merry way home. Everyone left in Auburn will then begin the process of treating their bruises, eating a few green, leafy vegetables, catching up on their sleep, finally getting around to classes about Tuesday afternoon, and in general getting ready for the next week end. Sometime on Friday afternoon, the whole cycle will begin anew, and off we go again! All joking aside, though, ours is a fine social season. Not only do we all enjoy it individually; but we have the chance to show other people just what kind of hosts t h e inhabitants of the "Loveliest Village" are. After one of the dances this past week end, I attended a breakfast at one of the fraternity houses. A third or more of the people attending the breakfast weren't even members of the host fraternity, but it didn't matter. In Auburn it is a tradition to welcome everyone to your various social functions. One fellow's date, a girl going to another large southern school, asked me (Continued on. page 5) . Approximately once upon a time, there lived in the little town of Paris a stunning young thing named Fifi. She was a, French ballet girl, or ballerfha. She was stunning because she was strong as an ox, and with one well-placed rabbit punch she could stun anything, including an ox or a rabbit. When anyone referred to Fifi as a "knockout," he wasn't speaking figuratively. In all fairness, though, one thing must be said to Fifi's credit: she was healthy. She weighed 273 pounds in her stocking feet, and most of this was the muscliest kind of muscle. Perhaps this accounted for the fact that she danced with the easy lissomness of a rhino-cerous and with the impressionistic success of a mute quadruple amputee describing a circular stairway. When "Beefy Fifi," as she was rudely called, slalomed onto the stage in her finale, she always shook the house, though not necessarily with applause. You may well ask, "How did a big waddly squack like Fifi ever get the starring role in 'The Gaily- Tripping Fairy Princess'?" Yes, you may well ask that. And I may as well answer it. Admittedly Fifi wasn't the ideal gay fairy princess (though she could trip as well as the next one). However the theater, the costumes, the dancers, and all the make-up paint used in "The Gaily-Tripping Fairy Princess" were owned by Fifi's father, an extremely wealthy ballet producer who lisped. By paying street urchins 15 sous apiece to attend Fifi's performances, he managed to keep the galleries pretty well filled with what Fifi thought were representatives of L'Amour d'Art, or something of the sort. One spring night just before curtain-time for Fifi's 2,514th consecutive performance, her father was wringing his hands in despair. "Goodneth grathiouth," he lithped, gnashing his teeth. 'What thall we do, for Heaven'th thake?" It seems that Fifi, during rehersals that afternoon, had underestimated her strength while performing a stag leap and had landed full upon the fairy prince, fracturing his ulna in two places and leaving him in a state of semi-hysteria. How could the ballet go on without a leading man? What was to be done? *Wait and see. It happened that. just at that moment a dashing, mustache-twirling young fellow appeared on stage left. He was a Spanish ballet boy, or buUerina. "I have come for a job in the ballet," he announced. "My name is Antonio Pedro Inde-lacio Francisco Fernando Morales, but you may call me Tony Pedro "Tndelacip Francisco Fernando Morales for short." "Thay lithen,1 you young th-camp, can you danth fatht?" inquired Fifi's father. He eyed Senor M. rather dubiously. The Spaniard was a mere slip of a lad, looking as if he weighed rather less than a hummingbird's cuticle. "You betcha, Mon-sewer," was the quick reply. 'That ith hardly credible," Fifi's father oped, "but thinth we have no one elth to play the printh, thlip on thith cothtume and on with the thow!" Nervously humming a few bars of "There'th No Bithneth Like Thow Bithneth," he retired to the wings to watch his new leading man in action. "Bony Tony," as he was called, was an immediate success. His spare constitution proved no handicap to his dancing. Rather, it seemed. a definite advantage, because it allowed him a lightness of foot seldom surpassed on the stage. "Ooh la la, he dances so soft you can hardly tell when he lands," sighed Fifi, trying vainly to duplicate his dainty entrechats. It was inevitable that Fifi should fall in love with this "soft dancer," and it was even inevitabler that Tony should fall in love with her pocketbook. So they fell in love. One day after rehearsal the two remained on stage, whispering in dulcet tones words typical of lovers. "Zapatero, a tu zapato," boldly enjoined the twinkle-toed Tony. "Par avion," giggled Fifi, flexing her biceps. "Hombre de un libro." "Oui, oui, perruquier," "No se como el bombillo," begged the Spaniard, "porque el her-rero va a tocur una cancion con su gaita." "J'adoube," murmured Fifi sweetly. Just at that moment Fifi's father burst in, bellowing, "Tho, you thcoundrel! You kith my lovely daughter, no?.Then you are fired. Underthtand? Vamooth!" When poor Tony heard this, he was in anguish. He sought relief in the only way he knew, by dancing. He began to pirouette, spinning faster and faster until, wiQi one last whirl, he turned away and leaped out of sight. "Ooh la la, the soft dancer," wailed Fifi, "I'll never see him again." Her father, still looking at the spot where Tony had disappeared, marveled, "Goodneth! He ther-tainly did turn away fatht!" MORAL: A soft dancer turneth away fatht. 5—THE PLAINSMkN Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1951 UNDER THE SPIRES By Leta Ann Casey Noonday Meditation Noonday meditation is held daily at 12:45 at the Student Center.

When I explained that it was just an Auburn tradition, she couldn't believe it. At her school such a thing just isn't heard of. That sort of a thing does . much to make the good name and ! reputation of Auburn even better. When you stop and think about it, we at Auburn are quite fortunate. The majority of the large social functions on the campus aren't for a select few, but for everyone. On our campus the relations between the fraternities, sororities, and independent organizations are the best I have ever seen. During the next four and a half months we have the chance to really prove to our neighboring schools just what fine hosts we are. By continuing to follow the customs of previous years, we will show everyone that Auburn's social season is one of the best anywhere. Folsom administration would be that of doing little of constructive value to the state beyond the highway program and the anti-mask law. Little was done to improve the educational standard of the state, which is rated as one of the lowest in the nation, and despite the numerous special sessions of the legislature no constructive action was taken toward reapportionment of the state legislative districts. Action is already 40 years delinquent according to the state constitution. Despite the criticism leveled at the state prison and parole set-up, nothing was done about it. These are three of the most pressing problems in the state today. Much of the inaction of the Folsom administration stems from the opposite views taken by Folsom and the legislature and the state press. In democratic government little can be accomplished without cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of government and without the support of public oppinion. This writer hopes that the cooperation that was lacking in the Folsom administration be present in the administration of Governor Persons. If the present administration demonstrates lack of workable cooperation as in the Folsom administration, the final fault will lie with the people of the state who made the mistake of electing a legislature pledged to one point of view and a governor pledged to another point of view. Folsom (Continued from page 4) gineered several state deals which provided large sums of money for his relatives. This writer does not feel qualified to pass a final judgement on Folsom as a governor or on the Folsom administration. However in all fairness to Governor Folsom it is doubtful that the graft during his administration was any worse or even as bad as some former administrations but this writer would like to state one conclusion that seems perfectly obvious. It seems to me that the greatest criticism that could be made of the It will do your heart good to choose and send . : £ .i Did you have cute, clevervor lovely ones in mihd?,We have big or little ones of every kindT A 0.

College 6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1951, TANGLING UNDER THE BASKET Kokomo's Korner By Bill McArdle LOVELY IS THE PLAINS After a half-week of turmoil things are rosy at the Plains. Coach Earl Brown will begin spring training March 26r with j the acknowledged support of college administrative heads, players, students and alumni. The climactic meeting held last i Friday night at the governor's mansion e n d e d with Earl. Brown getting the backing that is absolutely necessary for the coach of a successful football team. It's a fact that Auburn football has suffered since the game went so emphatically commercial. Maybe the money thatj was to have been spent in the buying up of Brown's contract, can be used to better the advantages a prep gridder will; have when he thinks of entering Auburn. If the energies of the Auburn alumni will begin to move all together and in the right direction; then Auburn football will be restored to its proper position. Eavesmen Stiii In. Fight The Auburn Cagers show a 2-4 conference record, but there is no reason to give up on Coach Joel Eaves' fast-break boys. All but one of the Auburn losses were close contests. Trie-ohly clear-cut setback came at the hands of the ever-powerful Kentucky Wildcats. Auburn's early-season loss to Alabama has been stricken from the records because of a new SEC system that allows" two conference teams to meet no more than twice officially. The Tigers have nine more conference games before they enter the SEC tourney at Louisville March 1, 2, 3. These ' five more home games include Tulane, L.S.U., Georgia Tech, ' Florida and Mississippi State. Auburn meets Georgia next in a Saturday night game at Athens.

'' Pacing the belated Auburn scoring was Don Lanford, who bucketed 16 points and turned in a fine floor game. Behind him were Center Dan Pridgen and Guard Roy Brawner with 11 tallies each.

The Tigers now have a 7-5 record. .. ' Tigers Drop Close One To Alabama Meet-Bulldogs In Athens Safurda By J. C. Sellers Auburn's Tiger cagers, following a stinging one-point defeat by the University of Alabama, journey to Athens Saturday for a tilt with the Georgia Bulldogs. Saturday's game with the Georgians will be the second encounter week because of recent operations. Basketball players will receive "A" Club initiations in the spring. To be eligible for "A" Club membership, a candidate must have earned a letter ia iootball, basketball, baseball or track or must have been a manager for four years for one of the four major sports and have been awarded a letter as manager, or have been a cheerleader for four years and received a letter. The "A" Club initiation committee is composed of Tom Banks, Jack Lambert, Foots Bauer, George Hill and Jack Glasgow.- of the two teams and will be rated as a toss-up. In the initial meeting the Plainsmen edged the Athens men 69-68 in an overtime period. This time, • however, the Bulldogs will have the advantage of playing on their home floor. The match with the Tide proved a heartbreaker for the Tigers. 'Bama maintained a comfortable margin for three quarters, leading at the halftime', 45-34, but the game Tigers gradually closed the gap in the waning moments. After trailing the Capestoners until the last seven minutes, the Plainsmen pulled even when Forward George Kill netted a foul shot. Seconds later Captain Don Lanford put them out in front, 60-58, with a two-pointer from t h e circle. 'Bama leveled the count on two free throws and with four minute's left, Ivey gave them the lead 63-62, andNthe Tiders were never headed.

Technicolor Featurette 8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1951 THE NATION'S COLLEGES Hofsfra, LSU Have Recognition Woes; Harvard Lampoon Harpooned By Cop By The Associated Collegiate Press Basic Drives Again At Hof stra College in New York, a small society called the Gold Key has proposed that they give themselves jackets—or some other form of recognition. The Student Council is taking the proposal under consideration. Commented the Hofstra Chronicle: "A joke is a joke, but the whole situation can be called nothing but a farce. When Student Council members took it upon themselves to purchase * jackets, students complained, but let it go at that. Now, another organization has the very unoriginal idea that they too deserve jackets or the like. "This organization (Gold Key) has stated that since they represent the student body . . . they too deserve jackets. Working under this principle, we can certainly include the Chronicle . . . in this clothing fund." Not to be outdone, Louisiana State University's Student Council have just voted' themselves keys, to cost $11 apiece. In an editorial dripping with sarcasm, the Daily Reville pointed out that the total purchase would cost "a trifle over $170." The Reville suggested that the Senate, too, should have keys: "It is several times more numerous than the Council, but the total amount needed to equip both governing bodies shouldn't be much above $500." Shades of the 'Rag' The Harvard Lampoon, campus humor magazine, finds itself in a very unfunny position. A state police lieutenant was recently assigned to investigate the "filthy, obscene and licentious" magazine which was confiscated by Massachusetts police. A district judge described the magazine as "not fit" to be taken into homes where there were mothers, fathers or sisters. The content of the magazine, according to its editor, was a collection of cartoons and jokes from other college magazines. It Should Happen Here According to the Clarkston Integrator, the mathematics department of the University of Akron is going to make it easy for students to get hold of old tests. The department is setting up a file system in the university library which will include the examinations of the previous four semesters. The head of the math department was quoted as saying that he felt this was a big step toward the creation of better feeling between faculty and student body. Hot Water In Flatbush According to a report published in the LSU Daily Reveille, the Vanguard, Brooklyn College's paper, has been suspended for the second time in six months. Last spring the faculty adviser to the paper quit because the paper would not follow his recommendations. At the time, the Vanguard was called monopolistic because it was maintained by compulsory student fees. The latest suspension resulted from an editorial criticizing the dean for his handling of a student organization called the "Labor Youth League of Brooklyn College"—a group which was ordered to disband, allegedly because its views on the Korean War coin-an: AUTO REPAIRS Tatum's •N OPELIKA I cided with those of the Communist I party. What Price Glory? At the University of Minnesota recently, football coach Bernie Bierman announced his resignation. The editors of the Minnesota Daily elected to put out an extra announcing the fact. The Minneapolis Star, local metropolitan paper, had the story too, and their first edition was due on the street a half hour before the Daily extra. Quick thinking Daily editors solved the problem of competition by buyfng up all the Stars as soon as they hit campus newsstands. The result—an extra that was a success and an office full of the competition's paper. What Else? The nation's system of higher learning has come in for some criticism recently. The Appalachian, student newspaper at Appalachian State Teachers college, declared, "The school system in the United States is a mass production assembly line for gridiron greats and cross-country runners, seven-foot high basketball-ers, swimmers, wrestlers and baseball stars." ' Holy Smoke? The University of Portland, Oregon, has scrapped a 50-year policy and decided to admit women students. A statement by the university's president declared, "The pressure of growing demands . . . have induced (us) . . . . to admit women students to all our colleges and departments." Heretofore, girl students have been limited to the colleges of music and nursing. The Beacon, Portland's student newspaper, hailed the move as "another milestone." It admitted that "co-education in our institution will seem strange at first.'' The transition may be slow. There will be unforseen obstacles to counter. There will be new competition. But co-education is here. This fact we cannot deny." We'll Take Football Congressman Velde (R. III.) has publicly accused the University of Chicago of being a"hotbed of communism." Communist propaganda, he said, is being issued from that university and idistributed to other schools such as Northwestern and Illinois. Coeds In Hot Water The girls in gym class at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, found themselves in hot water awhile back. Eager to try out the swimming pool after the installation of a new boiler, the girls dived in and come up screaming. It seems that the temperature had been set at 110 degrees by mistake.

OCR Transcript | V-W' Jhs TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT % VOL. LXXVII ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1951 Number 14 THREE OF THE NEW TRUSTEES Samford HitchcocJ< Wright Persons Appoints Four New Trustees Samford, Hitchcock, Roberts And Wright » Appointed By Persons To 12-Year Terms \ By Tom Duke :# Newly-inaugurated Gov. Gordon Persons lost little time in seeking the legislature's approval of his appointments to the A.P.I. Board of Trustees last week as the four new appointees were confirmed by the legislature last Wednesday. There was some reported opposition, mostly verbal, to the appointments but confirmation was secured one day after the appointments were announced. The new trustees' terms will run 12 years. / Frank P. Samford, Birmingham, was re-appointed to the board along with James G. Hitchcock, Opelika; G. H. "Monk" Wright, Auburn, and E. A. Roberts, Mobile. ._ „ _ . . , , .„ Student reaction to the new appointments was varied. Some students expressed little concern while others expressed surprise, especially at the appointment of Wright, Auburn mayor. Said one student who declined to be inden-, tified, "It does seem strange that student feelings weren't considered more, particularly with respect to Mayor Wright's appointment. Every time the student body has been incensed by city commission action, the resentment has been primarily directed at Wright." Governor Persons emphatically denied rumors that his board appointments were made for political reasons. A rumor had circulated in the state legislature that Persons sought the replacement of A.P.I. President Ralph Draughon. Speaking of his board appointments, the governor said that he had followed a "middle-of-the-road" policy in naming them. Persons stated that neither Wright nor Roberts knew of their appointments until the public announce-, ment was made. The governor termed Samford's appointment as "simply a re-appointment" and, said that he did not know how Samford felt about Dr. Draughon's election as president of A.P.I. However, Persons pointed out that Samford was on the board at the time Draughon was made president and was the one who moved that the selection be unanimous. Persons said that Hitchcock had told him recently that "he thought Dr.. Draughon was doing a good job." The governor did not comment on the feelings of the other two appointees. In denying that any political significance could be attached to the appointments, Persons stated that both Samford and Roberts had been against him politically while he thought Hitchcock and Wright had been for him. The governor was quoted as saying, "If I had wanted to appoint a board with any particular thing in mind, I most assuredly could have found such a board." Samford is . president of the Liberty National Life Insurance Company of Birmingham and is an Auburn graduate. Hitchcock, a member of the Alabama Public Service Commission, is a former Auburn All American halfback. Roberts is president of the Waterman Steamship Lines of Mobile. Wright is executive vice-president of the First National Bank of Auburn and president of the city commission. Members of the Board of Trustees whose terms will expire in 1955 are Walker Reynolds, Ahhis-1 Jalowiez, ton; Dr. Joe Davis, Albertville, and Paul S. Hayley, Jasper. Board members whose terms expire in 1959 are Vernon S. Sum-merlin, Luverne; Judge W. ' L. Parrish, Clanton, arid Redus Collier, Decatur. Ex-officio members of the board are Governor Persons, who is chairman, and State Supeririteh-denfr- of"Educati©n W. J. Terry. Off-Campus Houses To Be Registered A committee operating under the Department of Student Welfare of the Student Executive Cabinet has drawn up plans for registering all rooms in private homes which are available for rent to students in Auburn. A card file will be kept on all the rooms registered. The file will contain such information as the address and the name of the renter; the price of the room and facilities for meals in the house. The project is designed primarily as a seVvice to the student body and will be operated by students. The project has been approved by the college. Registration, will begin January 31. The card files will be set up and available for student use by the beginning of the spring quarter. The registration survey will be conducted by fraternity pledges and Alplia Phi Omega service organization. Blue Key, O.D.K. and Squires will aid in the registration: and the Pan-Hellenic Council is giving the services of five pledges as typists. All students conducting the survey will be identified by a letter signed by Joe Pilcher. The committee in charge of the registration is composed of Ed Kaplan, chairman, Beverly Benson, Lindsey Clark, Gene Byrd and Sam Harris. «. I Orchestra To Play For Women's Meet The A.P.I.

Laney With Harry Knowles, editor, and Graham Everidge, business manager, leading, the staff of the Glomerata for 1951 has'reached the approximate half-way point toward completion of the 54th Glomerata. Full-scale work on the Glomerata was delayed until late October, 1950, due to the resignation of Ell wood W. Burkhardt "who was elected last May to Glomerata editorship. Burkhardt resigned when he was called to military service. Knowles, who was managing editor before Burkhardt's resignation, was promoted to his current position by the Auburn Publications Board on Oct. 25, 1950. The 1951 Glomerata will have, the same major divisions that were contained in the 53rd issue plus an editor Knowles-designed cover. In addition to an 11- page opening section and the largest sports section ever (25 pages), the other divisions are devoted to schools and administration, classes, student sections, activities, beauties and favorites, fraternities, sororities, organizations, and advertisements. The beauties and favorites were photographed last November in Birmingham by Charlie Preston. The pages between divisions will feature informal pictorial views of Auburn life. Delivery date is set for May 16. Appointments for the editorial staff are Bob Rives, athletic section manager; Doss Wills, beauties and favorites section manager, and Bailey Donnally, staff photographer. The business staff is composed of Bill Moore, assistant business and organization manager; Dan Stallings, advertising manager; Bill Cook, fraternities section and assistant advertising manager; Jeanne Hall, sororities section manager; Bill Kelly and Jim Williams, office managers.- Knowles stated that the staff is in dire "need of advertising men and typists, plus good workers for other chores around the: office. Anyone who feels that he is qualified or interested is urged to hustle over to the Glomerata office immediately. Office hours are from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Committee Recommendation Upheld; Coaching Job, Under Fire, Now Secure By Gordon Higgins Coach Earl Brown will remain at the helm of Auburn's football coaching staff, it was decided by a 21-man committee which met at the governor's mansion last Friday night. Brown's job had been under fire after Gov. Gordon Persons announced in a press conference last Wednesday afternoon that he had recommended that Brown's contract be bought up and a successor be obtained. A statement to the effect that Brown would remain as Auburn head coach at least until his present " contract expires (February 1952) was issued by A.P.I. President Ralph Draughon, Governor Persons? and Auburn Athletic Director Wilbur Hutsell, following Friday's two-hour session. Auburn students and alumni had rallied behind Draughon and the recommendation of the A.P.I, faculty athletic committee in the controversy over Brown's status. Votes of confidence, in the form of letters, were sent to Draughon this week by Joe Pilcher, president of the Student Executive Cabinet, and Milton Blount, president of the Interfraternity Council. Texts of the letters are printed below. Auburn football captain and alternate captain, Foots Bauer and Allan Parks, attended the meeting representing the football squad. They were not invited but were admitted to the gathering. Bauer and Parks presented a petition signed by 62 players, 57 of whom will return next year, to the effect that the team had confidence in Brown and disapproved the governor's action. Dr. Draughon presented the recommendation of the faculty athletic committee which had been investigating the Auburn grid situation, to the gathering. It read, "It is the recommendation of the faculty athletic committee that the present contract of Coach Earl Brown remain in effect and that definite plans be made for strengthening the coaching staff." At press time, no reports ; of strengthening moves were available. Draughon further stated that in light of all aspects of the situation, including the uncertainty in the present national mobilization of manpower, a change at this time would, not be helpful to the Auburn football program. The recommendation was fully discussed and the final decision 'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS' Auburn Speakers Attend FSU Debate Five members of the Auburn debate team, Bill Currie, Montgomery; Herbert Nelson, Mobile; Robert B r y s o n , Hattiesburg, Miss.; Bruce Welch, Columbus, Ga., and Jim Kirkpatrick, Birmingham, participated in • a debate tournament recently at Florida S t a t e University. Debate Coach Prof. Joseph Mahaffey accompanied the group. The Auburn contestants won four third place medals in debate, extemporaneous speaking a nd parliamentary discussion. Twelve Southern schools participated in the tournament. LOVELY Mariella Hicks, fourth coed to appear in the winter "Loveliest" series, is a freshman in home economics from Fairfax. She is a pledge to Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. (A.P.I, photo by Barton Perry.) ~ was to abide by the proposal of the athletic committee. Unofficial reports said that 17 of the 21 present expressed sentiments favoring Brown's retention and that three of the dissenters favored abiding, by the committee's decision even though they approved of a coaching change. Governor Persons appeared to-take the decision in good spirits and issued a statement Saturday urging all Auburn alumni to get behind Coach Earl Brown in -an effort to bolster the Auburn football program. He said, "If this be the will of the majority, there is but one thing we can do, and that is to pull together." Besides Draughon, Persons, and Hutsell, those who attended the meeting Friday night included Auburn Alumni Association President W. C. Sugg, Jr., Atlanta; George A. Mattison, Sr., Birmingham, Auburn Educational Foundation President, and A.P.I, student Executive Cabinet President Joe Pilcher. From the faculty athletic committee were Dean Roger Allen, Dr. Charles Simmons, college busi-n e s s manager Travis Ingram, Prof. J. E. "Boozer" Pitts, and Prof. W. B. "Trigger" McGehee. In addition to Sugg, the educational foundation was represented by Malcolm Smith, Al Biggio, and Elmer Bissel of Birmingham and Frank Tennile of Montgomery. The alumni association was represented by Sugg, Ken Lott, Mobile; Luther Smith, Jackson, Miss.; Clyde Pearson, Jr., Montgomery; Paul Brinson, Mobile, and Billy Duncan, Decatur. Auburn alumni secretary Harry M. "Happy" Davis also attended the meeting. Texts of Pilcher's and Blount's letters were: Dear Dr. Draughon: On behalf of the Auburn Student Body, I would like to endorse the stand which you have taken in retaining Earl Brown as head football coach. In view of all factors involved, your decision offered the best possible course of action. Also, you are to be highly commended for preventing the administration of Auburn's affairs from becoming involved in state politics. Political activities are incongruous with all phases of an educational institution such as Auburn, and can prove highly detrimental both to the school and to the state. We of the student body are in full accord both with your decision to retain Coach Brown and your policy of keeping Auburn out of state politics. Sincerely yours, Joe Pilcher, President Student Executive Cabinet Dear Dr. Draughon: On behalf of the Auburn Interfraternity Council I would like to take this opportunity to completely endorse the stand taken by you in the recent controversy over Coach Earl Brown and to say that your endeavor to keep the Alabama Polytechnic Institute separate and apart from state politics is highly commendable. May I assure you that the Interfraternity Council and the student body as a whole will stand behind you and- your policy as regards this matter. v Sincerely, J.'

JOHNWAYNE PATRICIA NEAL WARD BOND SCOn FORBES WARNER BROS NCTUM Fox News and Cartoon \ Tuesday - Wednesday January 30-31 st \ .•r Cartoon and Joe McDoakes Comedy i To The Governor Dear Governor Persons, A number of persons have asked us how we intend to treat the recent Auburn coaching controversy and we must admit that for a while, we didn't even know ourselves. You see, we were as confused as the rest of the student body when we read of your determination to fire Coach Earl Brown. • Our first reaction was one of resentment at what we felt was an unwarranted entrance of politics into a matter which was the concern of^the school administration. Naturally, this resentment subsided somewhat as the story unfolded. However, we were surprised at your statement— made after the Auburn Athletic Committee, seconded by 'the group which met at your home last Friday night, decided to retain. Coach Brown for another year*—to the effect that "Earl Brown won his fourth game" and that you conceded defeat. We presume that you mean that Brown won out over you and that is what we regret. For, Governor, we are of the opinion that you should never have been in a game with Brown, win or lose. We rather feel that you two aren't in the same league—in our opinion college football is of minor league importance as compared to the administration of a state's government. Then after the decision to keep Brown had been established, we were concerned over what your reaction might be. Knowing that it takes a big man to accept the will of the majority when he has strong feelings to the contrary—particularly after a public airing of the question—we hoped we weren't wrong in believing that you irics Politics is always an interesting thing, whether from the point of view of an active participant or merely as a spectator. And, having viewed campus politics in both lights, we have developed a very intense interest in its various aspects. Like everyone else, we view the elections with 'mixed feelings—we were surprised and very much concerned last fall when evidence of fraud was uncovered during the Miss Auburn election. One aspect is very distressing to us: the fact that there is often little or no competition for were plenty big enough to accept the decision without harboring resentment. You proved you were in your good-humor, ed acceptance of the majority will and with your "pull together" statement. For this, we are truly thankful. We are confident that this difference of opinion will not be held against the school and its administration when you are willing to accept public-defeat gracefully and we are sure that Auburn will continue to be proud that an Auburn man is governor of the state. In looking back over the case Governor, we are sure that you had good intentions throughout even though we hold an opposite point of view on the Auburn coaching situation. Certainly, the out-in-the-open way the thing was handled bespeaks honest intent. That such a thing could have been done through the Board of Trustees seems likely; but the fact that you made a public statement of intent is much more acceptable to us than any surreptitious move through the Trustees would have been, even though we regret that you even chose to take a hand in the matter in any 'way. We appreciate t h e honesty with which you went at the question. Finally, we'd just like to say that we here at Auburn are glad to see the trouble all settled and out of the hands of a sometimes rumor-reporting press. We regret the bad publicity that fell upon the school, Coach Brown, and yourself and are glad to see it all over. Best of luck in your state administration. Respectfully, Editor The Plainsman and, with the support of the Ag Hill constituency, g e t this candidate elected. Since the entire number of students enrolled in the School of Agriculture never numbers over 15 per cent of the total enrollment, this has appeared to us as quite a feat as well as quite a joke on the rest of the student body. Perhaps t h e . more-than-coincidental election of Alpha Gamma Rho candidates can be attributed to the fact that, as in politics on state and national levels, the agrarian element, takes quite an interest in the various elective positions. Right..now, . 1i+- J • ,•.., . n • , . - ., • -politics and exercises no little control were hoping that some element 'of; com- Zover p o l i t i c s i n m a n y a r e a s . A t tat petition will present itself elections. While we're wa ibtienfog reto t hsee es pwrihnagt ^ e x i s t i n g c o n d i t i o n h e r e o n t h e p l a i n s develops in the line' of competition, we can't help being amused by another aspect of local politics. During our four years on the campus, we have been quite amused by the fact that more often than not, the coeds who were elected "Miss Auburn" and "Miss Homecoming" were sponsored by the same fraternity and backed by the same element -Alpha Gamma Rho and Ag Hill. Of course, as was the case this year, the candidates were strong ones in their own right but it has nevertheless been more than coincidental that for the last four years, and the precedent had been set long before we came here, Ag Hill has attained a high batting average in sponsoring winning candidates in these popularity elections. Recently, Alpha Gamma Rho garnered another title for a candidate, this time for one of its members, when the final results of the King For A Day contest were announced. This gives Ag Hill a three for three record this year. The reason for our amusement is that Alpha Gamma Rho has no more than 50 members and yet can sponsor a candidate It Makes One Proud Much has been said about A.P.I. Presi-' dent Ralph Draughon's dignified, diplomatic handling of the affaire de coach last week. This week Tom Cannon covers the subject quite well for The Plainsman in his "Cannon Report." is certainly not to AGR's discredit. Indeed, it bespeaks well for this fraternity that it can wield such an influence. And, Ag Hill comes in for its share of justifiable pride in being able to turn out enough voters to control three elections inside of four months. The joke is on the rest of the campus that AGR and Ag Hill can out-influence and out-vote-solicit them in these elections. As one member of Alpha Gamma Rho said in an article in the Xi Cresent, the AGR periodical, "Many of the politicial 'big dogs' in other organizations are wondering just what techniques we (AGR) used." That, as the same writer said, "Everyone (AGR) seemed to have been keenly interested in spreading our share of influence on the campus," appears to have been established by the election victories. Now, we're anxious to see how the Ag Hill candidates come out in the spring elections. Perhaps Thomas Jefferson's dream of an agrarian republic will see the beginning of its culmination here. At any rate we'll be waiting to see just how strong Ag Hill runs in the coming elections. We second all the compliments that have been directed at Draughon and add our own. If ever we were proud of anyone, it was Ralph Draughon after Friday night's meeting. Auburn Plainsman # Published weekly by the students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.

His well-rounded stomach protruded from the depths of the dark-gray coffin. He was clad in his black Sunday suit and his Freemason badge was in the lapel. The room smelled of tube roses. Just last Wednesday he had passed away. He had been mending the pasture fence. Will Hendrix found him down by the Creek Bend. He still clutched the posthole diggers in his hand. Jeff had always been a hard-working man. He had 10 mouths to feed, r Sadie Huff went into hysterics when she heard. But she soon rallied to clean the house and children. Close friends would soon arrive. Funerals were so tiring. But Jeff would have liked a good one. He was a thorough man. He had been an officer in the Freemasons. The Huff farm was 10 miles from Hogans-ville, population 3,063. The funeral would be in the Hogansville First Baptist Church. Jeff was a deacon. Will Hendrix and his family drove into the yard. It had just gotten dark., Will's four kids joined the Huff eight in whooping up the zeal of a death. They knew they could stay up late. It was just like the Farm Bureau fish fry. Jeff had been president. He was a good farmer. Mrs. Hendrix sniffled politely as she gazed into the coffin. Tube roses always did affect her. Will shuffled self-consciously to the fireplace. Jeff's corn-growing trophy was on the mantle. He won it at the County Fair in 1946. Folks always said Jeff was one of the best farmers in Heard County. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Franklin and Mrs. McDowall came in. They were members of Sadie's Home Demonstration Club. It met weekly in the 4-H clubhouse. Each filed past the bier and sniffled and nodded their heads sadly. Sadie offered them a chair. "Lord, I know it's been hard on you," Mrs. Wilson said, addressing her remark to Sadie. "But you never can tell when." Sadie looked at the fire and nodded. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," Mrs. McDowall mused. Her husband had died 10 years ago. "My Ben was took all sudden like. You never can tell when." "Yeah, you never can tell," Mrs. Franklin agreed. "Why, only last Tuesday, the day before Jeff went, I saw him in town and he was talking and laughing. You never would have thought. . . ." Her voice trailed off as she looked out the window. Sadie touched her handkerchief to her eyes. The kids were out on the porch yelling with delight at the antics of the clumsy hound puppy. He, too, knew it was a special occasion. "Children are just too young to know," sighed Mrs. Wilson. She took her embroidered handkerchief and dabbed her eyes. She liked to be sad. She often was sad when she killed a fryer for Sunday dinner. She had cried when, her own little Benny sang in the Christmas Pageant at the church. * "He was such a good man," . said Mrs. McDowall, even though she knew Jeff had made a batch of homebrew with Will Hendrix in the barn loft last Christmas. Inside she sneered at Jeff's drinking and him a deacon in the church. She had forgotten that her own Ben died with the smell of whiskey on his breath. Sadie continued to gaze into the fire and rocked. The old rocking chair had belonged to Jeff's grandfather. Mrs. Hendrix came in from washing the supper dishes. She was one of Sadie's best friends. They used to live near each other and rode the same school bus. Sadie rallied from her deep thought and thanked Mrs. Hendrix. "Well, I always like to help out," Mrs..H. replied. She went on to quote an appropriate passage from the Bible. Mrs. Franklin responded to a knock at the door. It was Jeff's Freemason brothers. They passed by the deceased and reacted appropriately and gathered in the corner. "He was certainly took sudden like," whispered Tom Hammond, president, in an attempt to begin a conversation. "Yeah, you just never can tell," returned Sam Miller, first • vice-president. Cannon Cannon Report By Tom Cannon Last week a serious threat to the future of Auburn developed when Alabama's, newly-inaugurated governor publicly announced that he had asked the president of the institution to find a new head football coach. Since the many ramifications of this situation have been widely discussed in the press, it is not my purpose to r e - p e a t h e re what has already b e en w r i t t e n . Rather, I wish t o congratulate the president for the skilled manner in which h e handled the occasion. Although we don't know exactly what happened behind the closed doors of the Governor's Mansion Friday night, the results which appeared in the paper Saturday morning indicate that an accomplished diplomat was in charge of the matter. It takes a tremendous amount of courage for the president of a s t a t e-supported \ institution to openly oppose the desires of the governor of the state. The possible consequences of his actions must have been evident to Dr. Draughon as he made his decision to stand by his convictions. Mr. Persons is in a position to either make or _break A.P.I. Through his influence on the state legislature and the Board of Trustees, he could control the appropriations for the school as well as b l o c k the president's plans. Knowing Mr. Persons as a staunch Auburn man, we are confident that he will not use his power to the detriment of his "alma mater. And knowing Dr. Draughon, we are sure that he will be able to unite the different interests involved in this matter for the good of Auburn. As evidence of his ability to do this, we point to the accomplishments of his administration. Since he assumed the presidency in 1948, Auburn has made steady progress. The institution has been accepted for membership in the accredited school group, the American Association of Universities. The faculty has been improved, the task of unifying the several branches is well underway, and for the first time in history, Auburn's enrollment exceeds that of the University of Alabama. Perhaps the most conspicuous attainment of the past two years is the badly-needed building program that has been started. During the next few months, situations may develop that will require the utmost skill and tact on the part of the president if Auburn is to continue to progress. Auburn students believe that Dr. Draughon possesses those attributes, and they will back him to the limit. "Any Further Irrelevant Questions?"

More and More # By Gene Moore •*r&- Folsom Administration Reviewed; Lack Of Cooperation Is Cited By Jim Jennings Jim Folsom's administration as governor of Alabama, which ended January 16, will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most famous and most turbulent in the history of the state. "Big Jim" campaigned' with a string band and a scrub bucket and entered the executive mansion with one of the largest popular votes ever record- , . . . . _ .. ,„ L' l him a campaign issue in a possible 1954 campaign for governor. Perhaps the most noteworthy legislation passed under Folsom's leadership was the anti-masking bill which provided a strong blow to the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. During the Folsom administration there was a large turn-over in the membership of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, the State Parole Board, and the State Docks Board. The number of paroles and pardons granted from the state prisons throughout the Folsom administration seemed excessive, and just before the end of the administration 350 prisoners were paroled or pardoned within 10 days. A large volume of criticism was directed at the Folsom-appointed members of the three-member parole board, Bill Drinkard and Glen Vinson, for the parole board policy. The odor of unsavory politics in connection with the state prisons and appointments has been suggested. Governor Folsom was liberal in his use of the state contingent fund and was reported to have en- (Continued on page 5) ed in the state. Nation-wide a t t e n t i o n was drawn to Alabama by the governor's kissing campaigns, his flight to California to see Gov. Earl Warren's daughter, his becoming involved in a maternity case and his marriage to Miss Jamelle Moore. These actions, the only ones attracting national attention, did not reflect credit to Folsom or to the position of governor. "Big Jim" was elected on a campaign of "cleaning out the capitol," and of old-age pensions, more paved roads and more pay for teachers. None of these goals were fully realized, although more roads were built during the Folsom administration than during the combined administrations of Sparks and Dixon. Teachers were granted a slight pay increase. Old age pensions were not granted; however the state welfare rolls more than doubled. Governor Folsom set a record for calling special sessions of the state legislature in an unsuccessful attempt to pass a re-apportionment law. This was widely regarded as a political move to give Of All Things By Jim Raulston The Auburn social season is now officially open. This past week end, when the first fraternity and sorority formals of the year were held, marked the beginning of a whirl of social events which should brighten the week ends on the campus for the next four and a half months. As they have done for numerous decades, Auburn men will bring in dates from all over the Southeast for these week ends. They'll wine them, dine them, dance them half to death, keep them out until the latest hour possible, and send them on their tired b u t merry way home. Everyone left in Auburn will then begin the process of treating their bruises, eating a few green, leafy vegetables, catching up on their sleep, finally getting around to classes about Tuesday afternoon, and in general getting ready for the next week end. Sometime on Friday afternoon, the whole cycle will begin anew, and off we go again! All joking aside, though, ours is a fine social season. Not only do we all enjoy it individually; but we have the chance to show other people just what kind of hosts t h e inhabitants of the "Loveliest Village" are. After one of the dances this past week end, I attended a breakfast at one of the fraternity houses. A third or more of the people attending the breakfast weren't even members of the host fraternity, but it didn't matter. In Auburn it is a tradition to welcome everyone to your various social functions. One fellow's date, a girl going to another large southern school, asked me (Continued on. page 5) . Approximately once upon a time, there lived in the little town of Paris a stunning young thing named Fifi. She was a, French ballet girl, or ballerfha. She was stunning because she was strong as an ox, and with one well-placed rabbit punch she could stun anything, including an ox or a rabbit. When anyone referred to Fifi as a "knockout," he wasn't speaking figuratively. In all fairness, though, one thing must be said to Fifi's credit: she was healthy. She weighed 273 pounds in her stocking feet, and most of this was the muscliest kind of muscle. Perhaps this accounted for the fact that she danced with the easy lissomness of a rhino-cerous and with the impressionistic success of a mute quadruple amputee describing a circular stairway. When "Beefy Fifi," as she was rudely called, slalomed onto the stage in her finale, she always shook the house, though not necessarily with applause. You may well ask, "How did a big waddly squack like Fifi ever get the starring role in 'The Gaily- Tripping Fairy Princess'?" Yes, you may well ask that. And I may as well answer it. Admittedly Fifi wasn't the ideal gay fairy princess (though she could trip as well as the next one). However the theater, the costumes, the dancers, and all the make-up paint used in "The Gaily-Tripping Fairy Princess" were owned by Fifi's father, an extremely wealthy ballet producer who lisped. By paying street urchins 15 sous apiece to attend Fifi's performances, he managed to keep the galleries pretty well filled with what Fifi thought were representatives of L'Amour d'Art, or something of the sort. One spring night just before curtain-time for Fifi's 2,514th consecutive performance, her father was wringing his hands in despair. "Goodneth grathiouth," he lithped, gnashing his teeth. 'What thall we do, for Heaven'th thake?" It seems that Fifi, during rehersals that afternoon, had underestimated her strength while performing a stag leap and had landed full upon the fairy prince, fracturing his ulna in two places and leaving him in a state of semi-hysteria. How could the ballet go on without a leading man? What was to be done? *Wait and see. It happened that. just at that moment a dashing, mustache-twirling young fellow appeared on stage left. He was a Spanish ballet boy, or buUerina. "I have come for a job in the ballet," he announced. "My name is Antonio Pedro Inde-lacio Francisco Fernando Morales, but you may call me Tony Pedro "Tndelacip Francisco Fernando Morales for short." "Thay lithen,1 you young th-camp, can you danth fatht?" inquired Fifi's father. He eyed Senor M. rather dubiously. The Spaniard was a mere slip of a lad, looking as if he weighed rather less than a hummingbird's cuticle. "You betcha, Mon-sewer," was the quick reply. 'That ith hardly credible," Fifi's father oped, "but thinth we have no one elth to play the printh, thlip on thith cothtume and on with the thow!" Nervously humming a few bars of "There'th No Bithneth Like Thow Bithneth," he retired to the wings to watch his new leading man in action. "Bony Tony," as he was called, was an immediate success. His spare constitution proved no handicap to his dancing. Rather, it seemed. a definite advantage, because it allowed him a lightness of foot seldom surpassed on the stage. "Ooh la la, he dances so soft you can hardly tell when he lands," sighed Fifi, trying vainly to duplicate his dainty entrechats. It was inevitable that Fifi should fall in love with this "soft dancer," and it was even inevitabler that Tony should fall in love with her pocketbook. So they fell in love. One day after rehearsal the two remained on stage, whispering in dulcet tones words typical of lovers. "Zapatero, a tu zapato," boldly enjoined the twinkle-toed Tony. "Par avion," giggled Fifi, flexing her biceps. "Hombre de un libro." "Oui, oui, perruquier," "No se como el bombillo," begged the Spaniard, "porque el her-rero va a tocur una cancion con su gaita." "J'adoube," murmured Fifi sweetly. Just at that moment Fifi's father burst in, bellowing, "Tho, you thcoundrel! You kith my lovely daughter, no?.Then you are fired. Underthtand? Vamooth!" When poor Tony heard this, he was in anguish. He sought relief in the only way he knew, by dancing. He began to pirouette, spinning faster and faster until, wiQi one last whirl, he turned away and leaped out of sight. "Ooh la la, the soft dancer," wailed Fifi, "I'll never see him again." Her father, still looking at the spot where Tony had disappeared, marveled, "Goodneth! He ther-tainly did turn away fatht!" MORAL: A soft dancer turneth away fatht. 5—THE PLAINSMkN Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1951 UNDER THE SPIRES By Leta Ann Casey Noonday Meditation Noonday meditation is held daily at 12:45 at the Student Center.

When I explained that it was just an Auburn tradition, she couldn't believe it. At her school such a thing just isn't heard of. That sort of a thing does . much to make the good name and ! reputation of Auburn even better. When you stop and think about it, we at Auburn are quite fortunate. The majority of the large social functions on the campus aren't for a select few, but for everyone. On our campus the relations between the fraternities, sororities, and independent organizations are the best I have ever seen. During the next four and a half months we have the chance to really prove to our neighboring schools just what fine hosts we are. By continuing to follow the customs of previous years, we will show everyone that Auburn's social season is one of the best anywhere. Folsom administration would be that of doing little of constructive value to the state beyond the highway program and the anti-mask law. Little was done to improve the educational standard of the state, which is rated as one of the lowest in the nation, and despite the numerous special sessions of the legislature no constructive action was taken toward reapportionment of the state legislative districts. Action is already 40 years delinquent according to the state constitution. Despite the criticism leveled at the state prison and parole set-up, nothing was done about it. These are three of the most pressing problems in the state today. Much of the inaction of the Folsom administration stems from the opposite views taken by Folsom and the legislature and the state press. In democratic government little can be accomplished without cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of government and without the support of public oppinion. This writer hopes that the cooperation that was lacking in the Folsom administration be present in the administration of Governor Persons. If the present administration demonstrates lack of workable cooperation as in the Folsom administration, the final fault will lie with the people of the state who made the mistake of electing a legislature pledged to one point of view and a governor pledged to another point of view. Folsom (Continued from page 4) gineered several state deals which provided large sums of money for his relatives. This writer does not feel qualified to pass a final judgement on Folsom as a governor or on the Folsom administration. However in all fairness to Governor Folsom it is doubtful that the graft during his administration was any worse or even as bad as some former administrations but this writer would like to state one conclusion that seems perfectly obvious.

Coach Earl Brown will begin spring training March 26r with j the acknowledged support of college administrative heads, players, students and alumni. The climactic meeting held last i Friday night at the governor's mansion e n d e d with Earl. Brown getting the backing that is absolutely necessary for the coach of a successful football team. It's a fact that Auburn football has suffered since the game went so emphatically commercial. Maybe the money thatj was to have been spent in the buying up of Brown's contract, can be used to better the advantages a prep gridder will; have when he thinks of entering Auburn. If the energies of the Auburn alumni will begin to move all together and in the right direction; then Auburn football will be restored to its proper position. Eavesmen Stiii In. Fight The Auburn Cagers show a 2-4 conference record, but there is no reason to give up on Coach Joel Eaves' fast-break boys. All but one of the Auburn losses were close contests. Trie-ohly clear-cut setback came at the hands of the ever-powerful Kentucky Wildcats. Auburn's early-season loss to Alabama has been stricken from the records because of a new SEC system that allows" two conference teams to meet no more than twice officially. The Tigers have nine more conference games before they enter the SEC tourney at Louisville March 1, 2, 3. These ' five more home games include Tulane, L.S.U., Georgia Tech, ' Florida and Mississippi State. Auburn meets Georgia next in a Saturday night game at Athens.

Sellers Auburn's Tiger cagers, following a stinging one-point defeat by the University of Alabama, journey to Athens Saturday for a tilt with the Georgia Bulldogs. Saturday's game with the Georgians will be the second encounter week because of recent operations. Basketball players will receive "A" Club initiations in the spring. To be eligible for "A" Club membership, a candidate must have earned a letter ia iootball, basketball, baseball or track or must have been a manager for four years for one of the four major sports and have been awarded a letter as manager, or have been a cheerleader for four years and received a letter. The "A" Club initiation committee is composed of Tom Banks, Jack Lambert, Foots Bauer, George Hill and Jack Glasgow.- of the two teams and will be rated as a toss-up. In the initial meeting the Plainsmen edged the Athens men 69-68 in an overtime period. This time, • however, the Bulldogs will have the advantage of playing on their home floor. The match with the Tide proved a heartbreaker for the Tigers. 'Bama maintained a comfortable margin for three quarters, leading at the halftime', 45-34, but the game Tigers gradually closed the gap in the waning moments. After trailing the Capestoners until the last seven minutes, the Plainsmen pulled even when Forward George Kill netted a foul shot. Seconds later Captain Don Lanford put them out in front, 60-58, with a two-pointer from t h e circle. 'Bama leveled the count on two free throws and with four minute's left, Ivey gave them the lead 63-62, andNthe Tiders were never headed.

VARSITY ON NORTH COLLEGE AUBURN Zippers Hold Lead In Independent- Basketball Series By Bunny Honicker The Zippers continued to dominate independent basketball play at the week's end. Delta Chi Colony was the latest victim of the always powerful Zipper quintet, falling before a 69-18 onslaught. Three men did the bulk of the scoring for the winners. Kelly's 24 points was high for the night; he was followed by Robert and Don Stephenson with 21 and 18 points respectively. Sellers racked up 10 points for the losers. A sober set of Sots drowned the Navy, 19-14, in a low-scoring affair; Despite the fact that 20 fouls were called by the referees, only five foul shots were sunk by both teams. Romano was high man for the night with eight points. Yea-bower racked up a total of four points to lead the loser's scoring efforts. Delta Tau Delta Colony barely edged past Ring, 26-22. DTD Strickler was the difference in the two teams; he sacked 12 points to take scoring honors for the night. Finch was top scorer for for the winners with nine points. The Auburn Independent Organization nosed out the Mates by the same score, 26-22. This time the losers had the high point man; he was Anglin with 11 points. Kilpatrick was high man for the winners wtih nine points. FFA swamped the Delta Chi's, 38-12. FFA's Casey was high point man in the lopsided affair with 16 points to his credit. Odgers was high point man for the losers. FFA had more difficulty with the Ring quintet but finally nosed them out by a one point margin, 23-22. Casey was again high point ^man with seven points; his only foul shot proved to be the winning margin. And Finch was top scorer for the losers with six points. The Hellcats clawed their way past the Navy by a 34-32 score. Herbertson led the Hellcat attack with 10 points for the night's efforts. Durham was top scorer for the losers with nine points.

Technicolor Featurette 8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 24, 1951 THE NATION'S COLLEGES Hofsfra, LSU Have Recognition Woes; Harvard Lampoon Harpooned By Cop By The Associated Collegiate Press Basic Drives Again At Hof stra College in New York, a small society called the Gold Key has proposed that they give themselves jackets—or some other form of recognition. The Student Council is taking the proposal under consideration. Commented the Hofstra Chronicle: "A joke is a joke, but the whole situation can be called nothing but a farce. When Student Council members took it upon themselves to purchase * jackets, students complained, but let it go at that. Now, another organization has the very unoriginal idea that they too deserve jackets or the like. "This organization (Gold Key) has stated that since they represent the student body . . . they too deserve jackets. Working under this principle, we can certainly include the Chronicle . . . in this clothing fund." Not to be outdone, Louisiana State University's Student Council have just voted' themselves keys, to cost $11 apiece. In an editorial dripping with sarcasm, the Daily Reville pointed out that the total purchase would cost "a trifle over $170." The Reville suggested that the Senate, too, should have keys: "It is several times more numerous than the Council, but the total amount needed to equip both governing bodies shouldn't be much above $500." Shades of the 'Rag' The Harvard Lampoon, campus humor magazine, finds itself in a very unfunny position. A state police lieutenant was recently assigned to investigate the "filthy, obscene and licentious" magazine which was confiscated by Massachusetts police. A district judge described the magazine as "not fit" to be taken into homes where there were mothers, fathers or sisters. The content of the magazine, according to its editor, was a collection of cartoons and jokes from other college magazines. It Should Happen Here According to the Clarkston Integrator, the mathematics department of the University of Akron is going to make it easy for students to get hold of old tests. The department is setting up a file system in the university library which will include the examinations of the previous four semesters. The head of the math department was quoted as saying that he felt this was a big step toward the creation of better feeling between faculty and student body. Hot Water In Flatbush According to a report published in the LSU Daily Reveille, the Vanguard, Brooklyn College's paper, has been suspended for the second time in six months. Last spring the faculty adviser to the paper quit because the paper would not follow his recommendations. At the time, the Vanguard was called monopolistic because it was maintained by compulsory student fees. The latest suspension resulted from an editorial criticizing the dean for his handling of a student organization called the "Labor Youth League of Brooklyn College"—a group which was ordered to disband, allegedly because its views on the Korean War coin-an: AUTO REPAIRS Tatum's •N OPELIKA I cided with those of the Communist I party. What Price Glory? At the University of Minnesota recently, football coach Bernie Bierman announced his resignation. The editors of the Minnesota Daily elected to put out an extra announcing the fact. The Minneapolis Star, local metropolitan paper, had the story too, and their first edition was due on the street a half hour before the Daily extra. Quick thinking Daily editors solved the problem of competition by buyfng up all the Stars as soon as they hit campus newsstands. The result—an extra that was a success and an office full of the competition's paper. What Else? The nation's system of higher learning has come in for some criticism recently. The Appalachian, student newspaper at Appalachian State Teachers college, declared, "The school system in the United States is a mass production assembly line for gridiron greats and cross-country runners, seven-foot high basketball-ers, swimmers, wrestlers and baseball stars." ' Holy Smoke? The University of Portland, Oregon, has scrapped a 50-year policy and decided to admit women students. A statement by the university's president declared, "The pressure of growing demands . . . have induced (us) . . . . to admit women students to all our colleges and departments." Heretofore, girl students have been limited to the colleges of music and nursing. The Beacon, Portland's student newspaper, hailed the move as "another milestone." It admitted that "co-education in our institution will seem strange at first.'' The transition may be slow. There will be unforseen obstacles to counter. There will be new competition. But co-education is here. This fact we cannot deny." We'll Take Football Congressman Velde (R. III.) has publicly accused the University of Chicago of being a"hotbed of communism." Communist propaganda, he said, is being issued from that university and idistributed to other schools such as Northwestern and Illinois. Coeds In Hot Water The girls in gym class at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, found themselves in hot water awhile back. Eager to try out the swimming pool after the installation of a new boiler, the girls dived in and come up screaming. It seems that the temperature had been set at 110 degrees by mistake.

Phones: 740-1041 Record Round-Up By Godfrey Bennett Tony Martin and Dinah Shore combine their vocal talents in In Your Arms and- Penny A Kiss. Continuing the trend of duets, this one stands out very well-against the rest.. Frankly, we think they should sound better apart than together. (RCA Victor 45) Spike Jones couldn't stand it. This week he throws his hat in with the rest of the Tennessee Waltzers. A sarcastic copy of all hillbilly recordings rolled into one, this is for you if you like Jones. Flip-over: I Haven't Been Home for Three Nights. (RCA Victor 78-45) The romantic hit of the year! That's what we predict for If by Perry Como. This is Como at his best. The flipover, Zing Zing Zoom Zoom, is a catchy tune that's very good. One of the top recordings of 1951. (RCA Victor 78-45) Nat "King" Cole brings his wife, Maria, to sing with him on two tunes, and as far as we're concerned, he could have left her at home. The tunes are Hey, Not Now and Get Out and Get Under the Moon. For our money, Get Out is the best. (Capital 78-45) Another duet, and is it terrible. Alone, B. Eckstine and S. Vaughn sound O.K., but together, wow!! This' doesn't hold true on both tunes though. It does on You're All I Need, but Dedicated to You is good. Their voices are beautiful on Dedicated but You're All I Need sounds a little confused. (M-G-M 78) Has Johnny Long sunk this low? King Records, no less. The ensemble bravely forgets about King as they do a fine job on I Don't Care. And Kathy Kearns takes up where they left off with Once You Find Your Guy. Both are listenable and danceable. Shades of Gle*nn Millet! Here's the Art Mooney orchestra, Matt DeLila on the vocal, doing a great job on Serenade in Blue. Frankly, it's almost a carbon copy of Miller's, but it's still good. Backed by Aren't We All. Also good. (M-G-M 78) The former J. Dorsey songbird, Helen O'Connell, comes back for a one-night stand with Frank De- Vol oh Teardrops From My Eyes. Is this the O'Connell who wowed the world with Green Eyes? You couldn't prove it by us. Flipover: It's a Lonesome Old Town. Ho- Hum. (Capital 78-45) The sensation of the country, Hot Rod Race, keeps rollin' on with Rambling Jimmy Dolan. This tune seems to have caught the 'fancy of the public. Flipover: Walking With the Blues. (Capital 78-45) The man with-the muscles in his throat, Vaughn Monroe, gives a beautiful rendition of The Night Is Young and You're So Beautiful. This is another step in the revival of old hits. Flip-over: From This Moment On. (RCA Victor 45). Record of The Week: Victor Young's My Heart Cries For You and The One-Finger Melody. Both are excellent, but somehow we're partial to One-Finger Melody. (Decca 78-45) Album of The Week: Hawaiian music, no less: Sammy/Kaye's RCA Victor alubum of The Heart of the Islands in Song. There are six excellent recordings in this group: My Isle of Golden Dreams, Sweet Leilani, My Tane, Hawaiian Sunset, Hawaiian War Chant, and My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii.
