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. «.

Glomerata Progress
At Half-Way Mark;
Delivery Date Given
By Dave. 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

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.' Milton Blount, Jr., President
Auburn Interfraternity Council

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

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.

Four Score And Ten, My Friend,
Jeff's Gone With The Wind
By Jimmy Everett
Jefferson Davis Huff was a big man. 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 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.

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-

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.

(Continued from page 4)
about all the people who were
not a part of the houseparty, and
wanted to know what they were
doing there. 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

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.

Auburn, Tider Bob Schneider (25), and George Hill (15), Auburn, look on. The Elephants took
the second game of the three-game series by a score of 65-64. (A.P.I, photo by'Barton Perry)
the buzzer sounded. ''
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. Brawner's ball hawk­ing
and spirited floor play made
him the outstanding performer of
the night.

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. The score was 65-64 when

9 In SEC Standings
The Auburn basketball team
still occupies spot number nine
in the SEC hardwood race, but
the teams are so closely grouped

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.
The Sots spanked the Mates by
11 points, 33-22. McCullough and
Hogue led the way for the win­ners,
scoring eight points each.
Tidwell was the top scorer for the
losers with seven points.

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."

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.

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. To our way of thinking,
Fred Moore To Head
