'Politicking' Begins
For April Elections
First Campaign Posters Put In Appearance;
All Seventeen Elective Posts Contested
By Stuart Leach
With the appearance of the first of a probable record-breaking
display of campaign posters, the spring political season
officially got underway last week. The flurry of "politicking,"
public and private, appears to point to a series, of hotly-contested
races for the 17 student body and student senate
vacancies April 12. Thirty-five
students are currently vying for
the various offices with each of-
'fice under competition.
The campus political scene has
changed somewhat since the
spring elections last year at which
time only 28 students were candidates
for the 23 vacancies to be
filled. The reason for this is that
there are now two political combines
in existence on campus rather
than one, as was the cast last
year. For the present, both parties
choose to remain unofficial
but there has been some talk of
open party campaigning.
At present, the widest election
attention appears to be focused on
the student body presidential race
between Eugene Allred, Lincoln,
and Bill Brooks, Marietta, Ga. All-red
is an Alpha Gamma Rho, and
Brooks is a member of Kappa
Alpha.
• Much of this interest was evidently
aroused by a discussion of
the situation by Tom Cannon in
his' Plainsman column, "Cannon
Report," March 14. Cannon hinted
at campus political implications
of the race and stated that more
„ facts would come to the surface
as the campaign progressed. Since
that time, Cannon has entered the
service and cannot be reached for
further cpmrnent at this time.
The vice-presidential race pits
OTS Joseph B. P^ettway, feussum,
Miss., against Bill Wilson, Birmingham,
a member of Sigma Phi
Epsilon.
The secretarial race shapes up
between Auburn Independent Organization
President Buster Mc-
Lain, Clay County, and Corkey
Wilkinson, TKE from Headland.
The other student body office
competition is for the office of
treasurer. James C. McGraw,
Delta Sig from Vincent, is pitted
a g a i n s t Plainsman advertising
manager Jack Johnson, PiKA
from. Albertville.
Two veterinary students are
competing for the right to represent
the'fifth and sixth year students
in the campus senate. Edgar
C. Kaplan, president of
TEP from Miami, vies with Ellry
Barton, Alpha Psi from Andalusia,
past president of the senior class.
Eight men and two women are
candidates for the five senior
senatorial positions. The candi-didates
are William R. Haycraftj
ATO from Brandenburg, Ky.;
Leamon G. Holliman, Pi Kappa
Phi from Florence; Rod Jones,
Sigma Nu from Marshfield, Wis.;
Sigma Pi Donald1 Mowe, Mobile;
Henry Pate, Jr., OTS from Birmingham;
Richard Reed, Theta Chi
, from Winston-Salem, N. C; Helen
Smith, ' Birmingham ADPi; KD
Judy Spence, Athens; SAE Dan
Stallings from Montgomery, and
Albert Trull, Jr., Delta Sig from
Birmingham.
Competing for the four junior
senatorial spots are Chi Omega
Eleanor Allen from Demopolis;
James Baird, Lambda Chi from
Bessemer; William Gehres, Delta
Sig from Litchfield Park, Ariz.;
Kappa Sig Robert F. Kelly from
Wolcott, Jnd.; Jack Langford, SAE
from Griffin, Ga.; past sophomore
representative William R. "Pete"
Masters, Phi Delt from Anderson,
S.C.; Phi Tau Norman Ricks from
Selma, and Theta Chi John Scher-mer
from Mobile.
Seven students, four men and
three women, are candidates for
the three sophomore senatorships.
Candidates are Joan Adkins, Delta
Zeta from Auburn; Josephine
Beall, Kappa Delta from Cottonwood;
Frank K. Bruce, Jr., Lambda
Chi from Wilmington, N. C;
Grady Butler, Sigma Chi from
Greenville; James H. Carroll, Phi
Kappa Tau from Opelika; Ginger
Dickson, AOPi from Birmingham,
and Edward H. Finch, Delta Tau
Delta from Bessemer.
All students will vote for the
four student body offices and students
will vote for the class senators
who will represent their particular
class according to the Election
Law of the undergraduate
constitution.

Courtship And Marriage Programs
Begin Tomorrow In Langdon Hall
Movies, lectures, and discussions will highlight a series
of six- programs during the spring quarter based on the subject
"Courtship and Marriage." A campus-community project
under the auspices of the A.P.I. Religipus Life Council, the(
first meeting of the series will- be held in Langdon Hall tomorrow
night from 7 until 8:30
under the leadership of Dr. Robert
H. Sanders, assistant professor of
sociology here at Auburn.
This series of programs is designed
for the mutual benefit of
students and residents of Auburn
and the surrounding community.
It is a facsimile and practically a
continuation of the Religious Emphasis
Week activities which were
held in February of this year.
Doctor Sariders, director and
speaker of each program, is a native
of Ft. Worth, Texas. He came
to Auburn in September of 1950
after receiving his doctoral degree
in sociology and psychology from
State College of Washington. Before
attending State College Sanders
received his BA and MA degrees
at Texas Christian University.
Doctor Sanders, who emphasizes
the need of family counseling
and family life education, has
taught courses in courtship and
marriage, sociology of the family,
and other relevant courses since
his arrival at Auburn.
"The underlying purpose of this
series is to extend a similar program
from REW' in order that
those who were unable to attend
the %REW meetings will have an
opportunity to gain some knowledge
about courtship and marriage.
It is further believed that
those wlio attended the REW
meetings would like to attend
these meetings," said Sanders.
Lectures in this series are based
on the1 assumption that the development
of marriageable people
takes a relatively long period of
time, Sanders stated. The sequence
of the series will be as. follows;
first, discussion of how personalities
are related to the wise choice
of mates as well as happy marriage;
second, discussion emphasizing
the factors which authorities
agree should be considered in
choosing a mate; third, discussion
of marriage of ^present society, and
fourth, discussion of problems involved
in achieving a happy marriage.
The schedule of the six presentations,
all of which will be held
in Langdon Hall, and the movies
to be shown at each meeting are:
Thur., March 29—"Preface to a
Life." /
Tues., April 3—"It Takes All
Kinds."
Tues., April 10—"Choosing for
Happiness."
Tues., April 17—"Marriage Today."
Tues., April 24—"This Charming
Couple."
Tues., May 8—"Who's Boss?"

be Lucile Manners, soprano of
radio, opera and concert fame. Her

from Etowah, is the first coed to appear in the spring "Loveliest"
series. She is a member of Phi Mu sorority. Posing with Ritchie

. L u c i l l e Manners
Manners began studying music
before she started to elementary
school. When she was 16 she
worked in a small office and spent
every pehny saved for voice lessons.
To gain microphone experience
she • sang without pay over
a local radio station. The National
Broadcasting Company later asked
her to audition at their New York
studios and a successful audition
led to short radio programs and
finally an eight-year contract for
the Cities Service program.
As Lucille gained popularity,
she was engaged for coast-to-coast
concert- tours and for leading
soprano roles in such operas as
"La Boheme," "Pagliacci," "Faust,"
"The Bartered Bride," and Massenet's
"Manon." She has appeared
in such operettas as "The
Desert Song," "Three Muske-'
teers," "The Pink Lady," "New
Moon," "The Last Waltz," and the
"Vagabond King."
Single admission tickets for the
concert may be purchased at the
door for $2. Season ticket holders
will be admitted by pass, and
college students on activity books.
Audit Law Finally
Passed By Senate
Bloodmobile Unit
Comes To Auburn
Again On April 11
By Gene Moore
The American Red Cross Blood-mobile
Unit will return to Lee
County for the last time this quarter
on Wednesday, April 11, Er-win
Meadows, chairman of the
county Blood Service Committee,
announced today. The First Baptist
Church of Auburn will be the
location for operations.
Four hundred volunteers are
needed for this visit, said Meadows,
declaring this week as recruitment
week for the county.
Those wishing to contribute blood
are requested to call the Auburn
Red Cross office, phone 206, to
make appointments.
Volunteers for blood donations,
will report to the Bloodmobile between
10 a.m. and'5 p.m. These
hours will be most convenient for
student donors, it is believed. Students
unable to give blood during
these hours may get excused from
classes to do so, Meadows pointed
out. Transportation will be provided
if necessary, and a canteen
at the blood-collecting station will
supply refreshments to donors.
Unmarried persons aged 18-21
must present a parental-signed
release, giving them permission to
donate blood, before they will be
allowed to contribute.
Blood collected during these
campaigns is distributed free of
charge to needy persons. Anyone
living in the area of a participating
Red Cross chapter-^this includes
all1 Auburn students—may
obtain Red Cross blood from hospitals
at no cost to him.
The community is already making
us of this blood program. Sixteen
pints of blood have been
used by eight patients at the Opelika,
Hospital since the last donation
in this area. Blood used for
these transfusions represents the
need thus far although there was
more blood available for use if
needed. Blood was available in local
hospitals within 48 hours after
the visit of the ^Bloodmobile to
Lee County on Wednesday, February
14.
There is an increasing demand
for whole blood on the war front,
and the Southeastern Area Red
Cross recently sent out a call for
an increase in the collection of
blood over its original estimate,
said Meadows, adding, "Auburn
students will want to stand ready
to do their part in sharing this
responsibility."

Dean Sugg Announces
Application Deadline
Applications of prospective veterinary
medical students desiring
to enter the Auburn School of
Veterinary Medicine must be submitted
on or before April 1 for
admission in September, 1951,
Dean R. S. Sugg announced today.
He said all students who have
completed requirements for admission,
or who expect to4 qualify-by
the end of the spring quarter,
must submit their applications together
with transcript of credits of
all c o l l e g e work completed
through the winter quarter on or
before April 1.
The committee on admissions,
Dean Sugg said, will make tentative
'selections for admission in the
fall of 1951 pending the completion
of the pre-veterinary requirements
at the end of the spring
quarter.
NOCTICE
The American Society of Agricultural
Engineering smoker will
be held April 3 at 7 p.m. in the
Ag Engineering building.
Herman Blagg,. senior senator,
moved that the Audit Law be accepted.
After lengthy discussion
Ed Crawford, senior senator,
made an amendment to Blagg's
motion which would have removed
the compulsory part of the law.
However, he was refused in his
attempt to amend.
Crawford's amendment would
have changed the word "shall" in
Section 2 to "may." Section 2
states "All Organizations and publications
chartered by the Student
Senate shall have their books of
account audited at the end of each
quarter by the Student Body
Auditor."
In the discussion which preceded
the vote Crawford pointed out
that he felt the law should be
voluntary because "student government
must move slowly in order
to obtain i interest and we
should not infringe on the rights
of campus organizations." He was
joined by junior senator Bill
Moore who stated that he "felt
the Senate should not try to force
student government on organizations,'
but should let them see the
benefits and then take part in the
auditing program."
Allred and Blagg were opposed
to the voluntary phrase because
they felt that it would limit the
power of student government.
Allred joined Blagg in asking for
the compulsory clause. Allred
stated that the law "must be compulsory
if it is to have any real
teeth in it." By using "tact" the
organizations will cooperate, All-,
red added.
This was the first tirhe in the
short history of the Student Senate
thajt the presiding officer of
the Senate had been required to

There's a name that has come to

We wonder if you remember
when Paul Whiteman was presenting

trumpet player by the name of
Henry Busse, who later became

I t made L. W. madder than a wet hen when they

We started out to give you the entire list, but believe us
the whole wide West doesn't have the number of individual
BRANDS that you'll find right here in the Loveliest
Village. So here is a directory of some of our TOP
BRANDS and where you can find them. To use the directory
simply ta"ke the identification number following
the item you are interested in and look for the merchant
at the bottom of the page with the same number preceding
the store name. For instance, the first item appearing
is Barbara Blake Coats and it is followed by "29."
Looking in the list of merchants numbered in alphabetical
order you find "29. Poily-Tek Shop." It's as simple as
that. And as we said, there are a thousand-and-one items
and services we can't list. When a need for an unlisted
item arises just call on one of Auburn's friendly merchants
and he'll direct you to the right place.

PREPARED AND SPONSORED BY YOUR AUBURN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
i
For Consideration
Once again the assorted Auburn undergraduate
students' begin another quarter's
work equipped with the standard clean
slate as class work for the spring quarter
gets underway. And once more, those students
here in search of an education and
those here just for the added prestige of
a college degree begin the traditional striving
for creditable (in the case of the former
group) or passing (in the latter case)
grades.
Under the present American standard
educational system, these grades have
pretty well shown themselves to be the best
means at hand of reporting the students'
proficiency in the various fields of study.
As we have it, they serve as educational
thermometers which give an only fair
representation of the amount of knowledge
one has of a particular subject. But, whether
we would prefer the European educational
system or not, the grading set-up
is the lot-of the American student and professor
and the thing to do is to make the
best of it. i
There are a number of evils'concomittant
with the system of attempting to
adequately represent a student's educational
development by -a numerical scale,
inconsistently applied and employed. However,
many of these ills can be avoided
through intelligent consideration by both
instructor and' student.
First under consideration would be instructor-
student relationship. This pairing
is often not one of particular cooperation
and a good bit of the trouble here can be
laid at the door of the grade system. Frequently,
class work develops into a "battle
of wits" between instructor and student
rather than a cooperative endeavor toward
gleaning knowledge. With arriving at a
grade as the achievement objective of the
educator and educatee and the often resulting
subordination of educational development,
the receiving ^nd giving of
grades can easily develop into the proverbial
game of "cat and mouse"—the
student cast as the mouse attempting to
get his desired grade or cheese and the
instructor playing the.cat and being forced
to attempt to trip the student up. Mutual
understanding and definition of -role is
the answer here.
It appears :to us that students and instructors
both can well combat their mutual
problems through understanding the""' Student and faculty.
More Work Them IFmiure
With little fanfare and a lot of hard
work, the Alpha Phi Omega Book Exchange
went into operation at the end of
last quarter." It appears now that all the
preparation and planning that rthe organization
carried on was to good avail for reports
from the Exchange note favorable
student reaction to the project.
We certainly hop* that this student
cooperation continues to be evidenced so
that the Exchange will be assured permanency.
For over^six years, students have
clamored for some sort of alternate course
role of the other. When students and instructors
work together as earnest, sincere
teachers and diligent pupils and eease the
battle of grades, the inherent evils of the
grading system are well on the way toward
being licked.
This calls forth the consideration: how
can the instructor best arrive at a grade
in the most just manner. There are nearly
as many theories as educators on the score
of testing method but there is an apparent
meeting of the minds that whatever the
testing method—examination, report, discussion
or what^have-you—the purpose
should be to ascertain the degree of proficiency
of the student under consideration
rather than an attempt to trip him.
Speaking from the students' point of
view, quizzes, although dreaded are desirable.
Students' frequent gripe is that the
examinations are often designed to catch
the students napping. They w o n d er
what justification can be offered for "pop
quizzes" designed merely to see whether
or not the students are exactly up-to-date
with their assignment preparation. They
wonder what difference it really makes
whether a student covers the material one
time or another so long as the material
is covered.
We hold to this latter opinion conditionally.
We feel that instructors have the
right to conduct their classes in any way
they see fit and this includes the giving of
the infernal "pop quiz." But, we do feel
that as long as an instructor can keep tab
on his students' progress through a series
of scheduled examinations, he has done
his duty as an educator and that as long as
the student feels that he properly covers
the material (that is, if he so desires), then
it's his "little red wagon" as to whether he
covers the material today or tomorrow or
ever.
These are just a few of the points we
feel worthy of consideration as the new
quarter begins. From time to time The
Plainsman will delve deeper into the apparent
needs from the student point of
view and attempt to present these needs
through, surveys, symposia, and guest articles
by some Auburn educators who are
more familiar with the set-up and resultant
problems than any student could be. It is
our opinion that this sort of objective
study will be well worth while for both
to having to deal with local book merchants
in small student profit transactions.
And, when the opportunity presented itself,
student enthusiasm and cooperation
has justified the projects being.
This cooperation must not "diminish.
Rather more and more students should
take advantage of the opportunity to deal
with the non-profit Exchange in buying
and in selling their texts. From all indications,
it appears that /this will be the
case.
Finance Report
Printed elsewhere in this week's Plainsman
is a report of the Finance Committee
of the Cabinet concerning the percentage
allocation of student activities fees for the
1950-51 school year. The first of its kind
to be published in The Plainsman in years,
this report gives an itemized accounting of
the various activities which receive all or
part of their financial support from the
activity fee revenue.
This report is one which has been a
long-standing need on the campus. Inasmuch
as students contribute upwards of a
hundred thousand dollars a year to the
various activities, they are certainly due
this accounting.
This year, under the direction of committee
head Bill Brooks, the report to the
students is forthcoming. Another financial
report,.covering the itemized breakdown of
activity expenditure, will be published
next week.
Commendation is in order for Brooks
and his committee for the work which they
have done this year in organizing the department
of student finance.
As an afterthought, we ask those who
have asked us why The Plainsman has not
run eight pages each week this* year and
has contained a high percentage of advertising
to note the Plainsman allocation as
compared to some of the others . . . say
The Glomerata.
QJd Civil War Papers Discovered
Jn Grandmother's Antique Trunk
By Jim Everett
The Everett Estate was as cold as the land of snow-shoe rabbits, so
I was busying myself with an investigation of my Grandmother's brass
band bound, antique trunk contents in the attic. Among assorted junk
of various categories, love letters from Grandpa,
Grimm's Fairy Tales containing an article on
"How To Charleston In 10 E a s y Lessons,"
and' a stringless pince nez were two yellowed
copies of The Daily Intelligencer (Atlanta, Ga.)
and Chattanooga Daily Rebel dated April 11 and
June 28, 1863, respectively.
The flawless journalistic style, entrancing advertisements,
and interesting news items would
have sent even H. L. Mencken into fits of laughter.
Pertinent items of the this Civil War era are given.
JACKSON, June 26 — A staff officer
Everett who left Vicksburg on Monday night last
reports the garrison as being closely besieged. The enemy keep
up constant fire, which is severer than formerly, as they have
the range of the town. An entire block of buildings, on Washington
street was destroyed by incendiaries last week. Every
means to discover them has been taken but so far without
success. The sappers and miners on both sides are hard'at
work, and are so close together that they can'hear the sound
of each other's picks. The report that two ladies had been killed
by the bombardment is untrue. No citizens have been injured.
A number of goods en route for Memphis have been seized
here by the Provost Marshal.
Trains are running "again to Panolo.

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD—Ran away from
the subscribers living in Catoosa county, Ga., near Ringgold, on
Saturday night last, two negro men, Miles and Solomon.
Description—Miles is black, about 5 feet 10 inches high, has
extraordinary fine white teeth, and when he laughs or smiles
they are a very prominent feature, and has a somewhat down
cast look. His age is 23 years—wore off black clothing.
Solomon is a deep,copper color, even 6 feet high, and is an
extra likely boy, 21 years old, has a very fine forehead arid
interesting countenance. Wore off white osnaburg pants. He is
supposed to be making his way towards Murfreesborp, his old
home. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and
delivery of the two boys.—E. Harris

CHARLESTON, April 9—Reports from Fort Sumter reflect
the highest credit on the garrison for coolness.and .bravery
in the recent fight.
When the Monitors were discovered approaching the men
were at dinner, and at the sound of the l»ng roll, sprang to
their guns with cheering. The battle flag was run up to the
air of Dixie, played by the band on the parapet and a salute
of twelve guns fired.
The enemy fired 80 shots at the Fort, of which 34 struck.
The garrison are eager for another chance at the Monitors.

Of All Things
By Jim Raulston
The campus elections are just
around the corner. In a few days
Auburn students will have the opportunity
to go to the polls and
vote for men they want to put in
the various campus offices. Already
campaign posters are appearing
all over the campus and
people are out talking up their
candidates. That is just the beginning,
though. During the next few
days everybody is going to hear
more and more about the men
running for office. Before it is ail
over, there will be runners of
every sort circulating about the
campus.
It is especially important to
elect good, competent men to all
campus offices at this time. A new
form of student government is
going to be in effect and to be effective
in the future, it must be
run in the proper manner from
the very beginning. Now comes
the big question. How will I vote?
There is only one Way to cast your
vote and feel that you have done
the right thing. That way is to
read each man's qualifications,
compare the qualifications of the
men running for the same offices,
and if possible talk to the men
themelves. The latter is more possible
than most people realize.
These men will be speaking to
groups around the campus everyday
from now until election day.
Every student will have the
chance to talk with each candidate!
If we are to have the kind of
student government we have had
in the past, we must go to the
polls and vote for the man we feel
to be the best qualified for the
job, regardless of personal connections
or obligations. Vote as
your conscience would have you
vote. 'You and only you will know
how you cast your ballot. Vote for
a greater Auburn student government.

Student Government Is Evaluated;
Performs Many Useful functions
By Jim Jennings
What can student government do for me? .
This is. a question that is asked by many .students when they
discuss campus politics and political campaigns. It • is a reasonable
question and one that deserves an answer.
If campus government benefited only a small group of
people and did little other than to
provide a few select individuals

with honors there would be little
excuse for its existence. Under
such circumstances students :in
general would be perhaps justified
in taking little interest in campus
elections.
In past years, if I understand
tJg-ju^, the situation
correctly, stu-d
e n t government
did little
to benefit the
a v e r a g e
student, c e r -
tainly in comparison
w i th
t h e benefits
that are possible
under the
n e w constitu-t
i o n. There
were several possible reasons for
this, but the real point is that in
the past several years general
campus interest in elections has
been at a low ebb. There were
few good answers to the question
for the average student, "What can
campus government do for me?"
Under the n e w constitution
there are many good answers to
the question. Some of these answers
have already been put into
effect, others will be put into effect
soon and others are planned.
Perhaps the best example of the
recent developments of the student
government that are obviously
of real aid to the average
Jennings
student on the campus who wishes
to use the services are the student
Book Exchange and the
housing registration which has
recently been completed. The
Hook Exchange is being operated
by Alpha Phi Omega but it would
not have been .possible without
the aid of the student government.
Student government has received
some of its most important extensions
of power in .cooperation
v/ith administrative officials
through being granted a large
measure of representation on three
committees that have in the past
been controlled largely or entirely
by members of the administration.
Students hold the controlling
vote on the Student Publications
Board and have an important
voice in the Concert and Lecture
Committee and the committee
which decides the distribution of
student activities fees.
This student representation
should be an effective .answer to
those students who feel that student
government .is a puppet that
dances when administration officials
pull strings. This may have
been true in the rather distant
past but under the ipresent set-up
student government works in cooperation
with the .school administration
but can and does exercise
its own judgement within the
range Qf .its authority.
According to Joe Filcher, president
of the student body, student.
(Continued on page 8)
In a recent issue, (February 28)
was a letter to the editor from a
freshman girl, name withheld, setting
forth numerous complaints
about living accommodations for
freshman girls as compared to
provisions for men students. The
writer' complained that, the rooms
in Auburn Hall are not attractive,
that freshman girls have to dress
and run down the street for breakfast,
and have to go outside to get
something to eat, whereas Magnolia
Hall, it was pointed out, has
lounges, recreation rooms, a snack
bar, ;breakfast inside, and guest
rooms.
The writer seemed to be under
.the impression that Magnolia Hall
houses all of the men students of
A.P.I. We must not overlook the
fact that Magnolia Hall is the only
permanent men's dormitory at
A.P.'L, and houses only a part of
the men students. The rest live in
the barracks and wherever they
can find a place. There are six
dormitories at A.P.I, for undergraduate
girls with more coming
up. Men originally lived in Auburn
Hall and Alumni Hall, but
were moved out for girls when
enrollment climbed high. Those
who have been around to see know
that a -very large number of men
students have been, and are, living
in really undesirable quarters.
However, they have not complained
unduly, I think. Many of these
men were glad to get most any
sort of place to live, for most any
place was so much nicer than a fox
hole, <or barracks with a community
bath (not A.P.I, barracks), or
a pup tent with the nicest wet dirt
for a floor and no pup.
Looking at the matter from this
angle, I am inclined to think that
the girls in Auburn Hall are not
really so bad off. After all the
boy does pay the social bill which
often runs . pretty high over a
month's time. Then too, girls
haven't had to worry about being
drafted for military service, even
though they might not enjoy such
exemption in case of another world
conflict.
I suppose we always want more
than we have—enough in fact to
outshine anyone else. That is human
nature. But we should not let
such cravings blind us to the benefits
we do have. What was it that
was said about covetousness? One
can be a receiver in toto so long
and so completely that all real appreciation
of what it means to be
a deliver vanishes. Giving, not
receiving, is the great restorer.
Again it is not what we do or do
not have that counts so much as
what we do with what we have.
Worthy of note here is the story
• about the young girl who lay dying
after having spent herself
(continued on page 8)
A woman who had just completed
a first aid course saw a
man lying prone in the street and
was shocked that passers-by paid
no attention to him. So she rushed
up to him and began giving him
artificial respiration. Finally the
man raised his head with an Effort,
and said, "Lady, I don't know
what you're trying to do, but I'm
trying to get a wire down this
manhole."
Mary: "What' did they call shotgun
weddings before firearms
were invented?"
Jack: "They were beau and error
affairs."

More and More By Gene "Moose" Moore
A riffle through the special
Easter edition of Harper's Bizarre
has convinced'me that things have
come to a pretty pass, so to speak,
when you consider the things that
the Well-dressed American Woman
of Today is willing to put on
her back, so to speak.
Sneaking the scissors from
Mumsie's sewing basket, I decided
to see, in the interests of science,
just what the WAWT would look
like if she were swigged up in
some of the more fashionable
Easter (1951) fashions, as reflected
in the pages of that "smart,"
"up-to-date," and altogether vo-guey
magazine. I selected a paper
doll from the many which Great-
Uncle Olaf had cut out between
rides on his kiddie car. Then,
humming snatches of the aria
from "Here Comes Peter Cottontail,"
I began fitting pieces of
modish (according to Mister
Harper) clothing onto the Manila
mannequin.
First were the Easter Shoes, a
fantastic selection of step-on, including
those which appeared to
consist o n l y of three pieces
of wrapping t w i n e attached
haphazardly to a slab of
chartreuse linoleum, as well as
those with heels so high they
would be practical only for strolling
in ankle-deep water. I selected,,
and subsequently snipped, a
pair of hunky pumps, made from
the hide of a rose-pink alligator.
They were really a little too large
for my model, but that's the thing
you must put up with when you
undertake a project such as this.
The Road of Science is not an
easy one to travel.
Easter Hosiery, the next-selection,
consisted of pages and pages
of well-fitted, non-wrinkled, un-running
stockings w i t h such*
catchy names as Shocking Cinnamon,
Shocking Emerald, Shocking
Sapphire, Shocking Mauve,
Shocking Topaz, and of course
Shocking Pink. But a set of pins
encased in a pair of lavendar-and-
green plaid hose and titled
simply Lassie Wee' shocked me
most, so I glued them onto my
paper puppet's already-shod lower
appendages.
I won't mention what was pictured
in the next section of the
magazine.
The Easter Dress section was
just chock-full of charming creations
which few self-respecting
horses would wear as blankets,
unless their eyesight was failing
or they were cold or something
like that. The one I chose seemed
to have a burlap citrus-pulp bag
for a skirt, a mildewed cheesecloth
ribbon for a bodice, and
rows of assorted bottle caps for
sleeves. "Comfy for those nights
at home," the caption read.
Then at last I got to the Easter
Hat part of the magazine. Whooee,
the things that met my heaven- t
ward-rolling eyes! I'll bet my last
swallow of Yogurt that such a selection
of sombreros has never before
been exhibited before civilized
man. I pondered and meditated
for several days, fasting the
while, before L£0uld decide which
hat to select. Finally I picked a
modest blue-green number with a
snap brim, a neet pleat, and a hole
in the top. Dangling from it, and
attached to it with sundry bits of
baling wire, fishing cord, and tinsel,
were an ice cream cone,
double dip, pistachio; a yellow
plaster of paris horse shoe; several
useful household items such as
pebbles, corks, and brass andirons;
a tuft .of lespedeza, treated
to glow in the dark, and a twopenny
nail. On top, springing from
a patty of rancid'goat butter (or
at least the photograph of the hat
made it look that way; probably
the goat butter wasn't rancid at
all), extended for 2 feet, 8 inches
an orchid-colored feather. At the
base of the feather was what appeared
to be a box of Duz, doing
it.
When my patient model had
donned all this apparatus, I carried
her out into the sunlight fbr
inspection. Clocks stopped as far
away as Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
With a shudder I buried the
paper doll and drove a stake
through its heart. I had found
what I wanted to know, and that's
one job I'm glad to be through
with, I'll tell you.

Kokomo's Korner By Bill McArdle
SHUG'S STAFF NO STRANGERS
•Glancing at the four new names on Coach Jordan's football
staff, fans can see that they have been one of the "win-ninest"
quartets that this Old Village could have garnered.
Let's hope the complex is contagious.
Followers of the 1948 Auburn grid season can't easily forget
the Georgia team that year when they shellacked our Tigers
to the tune of 42-14. This trio of Guard Homer Hobbs,
Halfback George Bradberry, and End Gene Lorendo contributed
to that win for the then bowl-bound Bulldogs. Incidentally,
that same Georgia team piled up a 35-0 win over
Alabama—the Tide team which dumped Auburn, 55-0.
All three of the above-mentioned were teammates on the
Georgia teams of 1946, '47, '48—teams that played in the
Sugar, Oil, and Orange Bowls respectively.
Charlie Waller, the final member of the newly-signed foursome,
coached the Decatur, Ga. high school team to the state
AA championship last year, and in his three seasons at Decatur
he compiled a 34-3 record. Waller is the lone member
of the Auburn coaching staff foreign to A.P.I, or the University
of Georgia. He graduated from Oglethorpe in 1942 where
he was a fullback on the Atlanta institution's football team.
TOO EARLY TO RATE TIGER NINE
Coach Dick McGowen's baseballers certainly didn't look
bad Saturday against the Birmingham-Southern Panthers, but
it might be too early to try the guage the strength of the club.
Southern was obviously not up to Southeastern Conference
baseball standards—this was clear even though the Hilltop-pers
had had the benefit of only one week's practice.
However, don't overlook the fact that Auburn played errorless
ball, something they rarely did against anybody last
year. And too, the tight four-hit pitching of Letchworth,
Lockard and Hoehle can't be ignored. Hoehle, a guy whose
motions give you the impression he must have invented baseball,
fanned six batters in the three innings he worked. He
struck the side out in the ninth.
Letchworth was never in trouble and looks like this year,
his last, might be his best. He proved to be the Auburn ace
last year. Lockard, whose wildness kept him on the bench
last year, still showed traces of no control, but the lefty displayed
enough to make us believe his bench time is limited
this year.
Saturday morning, first base was probably the biggest
question mark for Coach.McGowen, but after the afternoon
performance of first sacker Dave Brown the question seems
to be solved. All" the big sophomore did was drive in four
runs with a homer, a double, and a single in four trips.
Brown's home run was the first such blow ever registered by
an Auburn man over the left field fence at two-year-old
Plainsman Park.
Cindermen Off To Gainesville
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's boys are o£pto Gainesville, Fla. this
' week end for the running of the Florida Relays. It will be the
first of two visits for the Tiger thinly-clads. They reappear
at the 'Gator city April 28 for a dual meet with the University
of Florida.
Homefolk can take their first peek at the Plainsmen track-sters
April 7 when they entertain the, crew from Mississippi
State. The Southern Relays come up at Birmingham April
14, and Auburn along with all other members of the SEC
will compete with the cream of the nation's cinder crop.
Alabama's SEC champs come to the Plains April 21 for the
third track tangle with Auburn since the two schools resumed
athletic relations. The Tigers swamped the Tide in 1949, but
last year were eked out by Bama by a % .point margin.

Jordan and Senn were teammates
on Auburn's 1932 football
team, the last undefeated squad
in Auburn's history. Jordan was
center and Senn played end.
This is Jordan's third time to be
on the Auburn campus in a coaching
capacity. Following his graduation
from Auburn with a civil
engineer's degree in 1932, he
coached the Auburn freshman
gridders until 1937 when he became
assistant varsity coach under-
Jack Meagher, handling the
centers. Three Auburn centers,
Walter Gilbert, Lester Antley and
Tex Williams, became all-SEC
choices under Jordan's guidance.
Jordan left Auburn in 1942 for
military service. He served with
the combat engineers and participated
in a large number of
"landings in North Africa, Sicily,
Italy and Normandy. Wounded by
a shell fragment at, Normandy, he
returned to the United States
briefly and was then sent to the
Pacific where he participated in
two additional assault landings.
He was honorably discharged
from the army with the rank of
major in October, 1945.
Following his discharge he returned
to Auburn and coached the
1945-46 basketball team. He became
an assistant coach for the
Miami. Seahawks' professional
football team under Jack Meagher
in 1946, then in October of
that year went to Georgia as assistant
fodtball coach and head
basketball coach.
Jordan was head basketball
coach at Auburn for eight years
in addition to his football coaching
duties. He succeeded Sam McAllister
in 1934 and served until
he left for the army.
"Shug," who gained his nickname
from his fondness for sugar
cane, is a native of Selma where
he was a four sport athlete starring
in football, basketball, baseball
and track. He was captain of
the Selma grid and cage squads,
and as the highlight of his track
career defeated Fred Sington
(later an all-America tackle at
the University of Alabama) in the
shot put finals of the state high

He was a top-notch football center,
and was the old Southern
Conference's high scorer in basketball
in 1929. He was a southpaw
pitcher for the baseball team
and pitched a 2-1 victory over
Florida for the SEC title in 1932.
In recognition of his scholastic
and leadership abilities he was
named to Spades, Scabbard and
Blade and Blue Key as well as the

Ninety-One Players, Seven Coaches
Begin Spring Training March 26
By Kokomo McArdle
Ninety-one grid hopefuls, five new coaches, and two holdover
mentors began the uphill job Monday of restoring Auburn
to a more respected p l a c e among the Southeastern
Conference football teams. *
Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan, the fourth Auburn head
football coach in less than a de
cade, and- his staff spent most of
the first two days in getting acquainted
with the crew of players
they inherited from the 1950 team,
the freshman squad, and junior
colleges. Even a few first quarter
freshmen were on. hand.
Nineteen players from the '50
squad were missing. Eleven were
lost through graduation, and the
remaining eight either have entered
the armed services or dropped
out of school.
Most sorely missed will be
Guards Tom Banks and Bobby
Rhed, Center Bill Hogarth, Ends
Fred Duart and Tommy Edwards,
Tackles Ted Varano and Breece
Barley, and Backs Johnny Wallis,
Charlie Langner, BoBo Blacker-by,
and Jim McGowen.
Of the 18 returning lettermen,
only five are backfield men.
Quarterbacks Bill Tucker and Allan
Parks, and Halfbacks Bobby
Golden, Dwight Hitt and Percy
Alford are the only backfield
veterans.
Lettering lineman include Ends
Lee Hayley, Charlie Justo, Dave
Ridgway, Bill McMurry and Erich
Sauerbrey; Tackles Joe Tiburzi,
Sam Hanks, Foots Bauer, Gene
Mulhall and Hal Harris; Centers
Homer Williams, John Crolla and
Guy Bruce; and Guard Foy
Thompson.
Freshman aid will be strong
from Quarterback Vince Dooley,
and Halfbacks Charles Littles, Robert
Duke, Phil Gonzales and
Charles Hattaway. Jim Dillion
Butch Dowman, Jim Vann, Bobby
Griffin, Don Rogers, Herbert Aut-rey,
Ed Baker and Bill Kilpatrick
are sophomores who could bolster
the forward wall.
Four New Aides On Hand
The signing of Backfield Coach
Charlie Waller and End Coach
Gene Lorendo completed the list
of seven assistants needed _bg
Coach Jordan. Assistant Line
Coach Homer Hdbbs and Back-field
Coach Buck Bradberry had
been signed a week earlier.
Of the four, all are Georgia men
with the exception of Waller, who
did his grid work for the Oglethorpe
Indians at Atlanta.
Hobbs, Bradberry and Lorendo
were teammates on the Georgia
teams of 1946-'47-'48 and finished
in the class of 1949. Hobbs was a
guard; Bradberry, a halfback, and
Lorendo, an end.
Hobbs played two seasons with
the San Francisco Forty-Niners
before his physician advised him
to close his professional football
career. Bradberry served on the
Georgia staff after his graduation
and last season went to Oklahoma
A&M as head freshman coach. Lorendo
served as end coach for
Presbyterian College at Clinton,
S.C.
Waller served as head football
coach at Decatur, (Georgia) High
School where in three years his
team won 34 games and lost only-three.
End Coach Joel Eaves; Line
Coach Shot Senn and Freshman
Coach Dick McGowen are the
three holdovers from Auburn's
1951 coaching staff. McGowen was
the only member of the staff who
missed the opening drills Monday.
He is occupied with Auburn
varsity baseball team.
Eaves is expected to be on the
grid for little more than a week.
He plans to begin spring basketball
practice next Monday and
will be^nable to handle jobs on
the hardwood and gridiron at the
same time.

Coach Dick McGowen said he
would string along with righthanders
Gene Hoehle and Bill
Letchworth for the remaining
three pitching assignments this
week. The two were to split the
mound chores against both Mercer
and Tech, but McGowen hesitated
to say in what order they would
work.
Against Birmingham-Southern
last Saturday, Letchworth allowed
the visitors only one hit in three
innings, and Hoehle pitched no-hit
ball in the three frames he worked.
. .
George Hill, one of the Tiger
mound mainstays last spring, was
late in reporting for baseball
practice because of his affiliation
with the basketball team and
hasn't quite rounded into top
pitching condition yet. The senior

DragoinWins Fourth
In National Tourney
By Walter Albritton
Although the season is over, the
prominence of wrestling still
lingers on the Plains, as last week
Sonny "Dynamite" Dragoin won a
National honor for the Auburn
team last week capturing fourth
place in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association finals in the
123-pound division. Dragoin was
one of three undefeated grapplefs
on the Tiger team, which recently
climaxed a highly successful season
by copping the SEAAU
championship.
In placing fourth in the nation,
Dragoin wrestled in six matches,
winning three and losing the
same number. In commenting on
Dragoin's fine performance, Coach
Swede Umbach said that Sonny
"made an excellent showing, and
I'm sure proud of him."
Dragoin mastered Case University's
Jimmy Cob, 4-0, in the first
round. In his second match he met
Bobby Karns, of Army, and won
his second victory, 5-4.
As the competition got even
tougher, he was pitted against
Jack-Burgess, of Oklahoma University,
who went on to win
second place. Burgess pinned
Sonny in 2 minutes and 37
seconds. In his fourth match
Dragoin was again pinned, this
time by Sam Fogorty, of Hofstra
College. ,
Coming back strong in the consolation,
matches, the little pack'-
age of dynamite beat the Eastern
Intercollegiate Champion, Serine
Filipos, 6-2. This win was the one
that gave him forth place.
The final bout wrestled by
Dragoin was with a former Auburn
grappler, Tom Keys, who
defeated him, 4-0, to gain the
third slot among the winners. The
national first place winner • was
Tony Gizoni, of Waynesburgh
College in Pennsylvania. The
championship was a repeat performance
for Gizoni. The youthful
grappler also won the top
berth last year.

Drop Panthers, 15-2
In Season's Opener
Exploding for nine runs in the
first two inings, Coach Dick Mc-,
Gowen's A u b u r n baseballers
blasted the Birmingham-Southern
Panthers Saturday, 15-2. Three
Tiger hurlers limited the Panthers
to four scattered hits as their
mates' pounded out 17 in 1951's
opening game at Plainsman Park.
First baseman Dave Brown was
the big man in the. Auburn plate
show. The untried sophomore
banged out a home run, a double,
and a single in his four appearances.
Another rookie, Center
f i e l d e r Jake Jones, had two
doubles and a single in four trips.
Auburn got to starter Larry
Striplin for 13 hits and 11 runs
before he was lifted in the eighth
inning. Reliefer Ken Seal faired
little better, allowing four runs
and four hits in the Tiger half of
the eighth.
Bill Letchworth opened for Auburn
and gave up only one hit before
he was relieved by Jim
Lockhard in the fourth. Lockhard
served a home run ball to Panther
"First Sacker Seth Box but other
than that experienced no trouble.
"Box's home run came with one
man on base and travelled 385
feet, over the center field fence.
Gene Hoehle went the final

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon quintet,

Thursday, March 22, where they

Short but superb ball handlers,
the S.A.E.'s five gained the Auburn
championship with only one
defeat that coming at the hands
of A.T.O. in midseason league
play.
Boasting a similar record, the*
Bama Pikes became champions of
the Capstone with only one loss,
the K.A.'s being the only University
team to conquer them.
The Sig Alph's jumped the lead
2-0 in the opening moments of the
contest on a set shot by Doug Mc-
Bride but their lead was soon
eclipsed. The PiKA's took over the
reins and maintained a slim lead,
holding the top side of a 17-18
and despite the' coolness of the
late afternoon he fanned six of the
Hilltoppers. He appeared to be
stronger as the game progressed in
view of the- fact that he whiffed
the final three ^batsmen.

After the intermission the Hill-toppers

later the men from the Plains

Hadacol May Relieve Canse of Troubles
When Dae to a Lack of Vitamins Bi,
Bz, Niacin and Iron, that Interfere with
Fan and Studies!
The marvelous benefits of HADACOL,
today's great nutritional
formula, are equally helpful to
young and old alike who are suffering
from a lack of Vitamins Bi, Bi,
Iron and Niacin.
Here's what these two pretty
coeds, who may have been suffering
from -such deficiencies, have to
say: "We are two college students
writing you this letter. Before taking
HADACOL we.were nervous,
restless and unable to sleep at
night. .We found we were foggy
all day and ached all over. Now
after taking only 3 Dottles of HADACOL
we are different persons.
We are full of life and energy and
our aches have completely disappeared.
Thank you for your wonderful
discovery of that remarkable
product, HADACOL."-
This is typical of thousands of
letters telling how HADACOL relieves
the real and basic cause of
deficiency distresses. For HADACOL
provides more than the minimum
daily requirement of Vitamins
B,, B», Niacin and Iron, phis
helpful quantities of Phosphorus
and Calcium. It builds up the
hemoglobin content of the blood
(when Iron is needed) to send
these precious Vitamins and Minerals
surging to every part of the
body and to every body organ..
Why not find out today why
thousands say, "Only HADACOL
gives you that Wonderful Hadacol
Feeling." At your druggist: Trial
size only $1.25; large family size,
only $3.50.
SENATOR DUDLEY J. LE BLANC
The Best Friend You Ever Had
Senator LeBlanc has been in
public life since he was quite
a young man and has always
advocated the cause of the oppressed
and downtrodden. It
was he who introduced the law
in Louisiana that gives every
deserving man and woman in
Louisiana a pension of $50.00.
It was he who introduced the
law creating the office of Service
Commissioner, the duties of
which office is to see that every
deserving ex-soldier and veteran
receives his just reward from
the Federal and State Government
It was he who has consistently
fought the battle of
the school teachers in the halls
of the legislature. He worked
untiringly for the farmers and

Senator Dudley J,

You can place your confidence
in a man who has by his past
activities demonstrated to you
that he is your friend. If you
are suffering from deficiencies

Iron, don't hesitate, don't delay,

of the Finance Committee,
favors the audit service being optional.
Allred's statement:
"In answer to the question of
why I voted in favor of the Audit
Law I would like to brief the Student

"Two quarters ago a committee
was appointed by the President of
the Student Body to draw up^an
Audit Law that would be tremendously
beneficial to many of the
campus organizations.
"In the middle of the winter
quarter this bill was presented
by Bill Brooks to a meeting of
student l e a d e r s at President
Draughon's home. This law was
met with unanimous approval of
both President Draughon and all
students present. After a quarter
of planning and consideration this
bill was reviewed by the Executive
Cabinet of the student body
and sent to the Senate for approval.
"Because of the extreme enthusiasm
on the part of President
Draughon and the administration
and after collecting the opinions
jf many students on the campus,
[ deemed it wise to vote in favor
if this bill."
Brooks' Statement:
"As Superintendent of Finance
mder the old Executive Cabinet,
t was my responsibility to do the
basic research for the establish-nent
of a free audit service for all
:ampus organizations. It was also
•ny responsibility to present the
proposed plans for such an audit
.ervice to the various organizations
before such plans were written-
up in the form of an Audit
Law. ;
"After presentation of the proposal
to a number of campus organizations
at scheduled meetings,
I learned that many organizations
were violently opposed to the
compulsory nature of the law.
After delving deeper into the situation
and through personal contact
with the organizations, particularly
the engineering groups,
I decided that student opinion,
reflected by these organizations,
favored the Audit Law being on a
voluntary basis. For this reason,
I plan to ask Student Body President
Joe Pilcher to veto the law
which the Senate passed, on
chairman's vote last Monday.
"I also plan to ask President

TREASURER'S REPORT
This is the first of a continuing series of reports by the treasurer
of the Student Body showing the method of handling student activity
fees and how the money is used. The treasurer's office will
give a financial report to the student body each quarter concerning
the use of the funds during the previous quarter.
The Board of Allocations for student activity fees is responsible
for submitting to thej president of A.P.L, with the concurrence of
the Student Senate, its recommendations for the allocation of the
student activity fees.

vice-president of the college and includes -in its membership the
business manager of the college, director of student affairs, dean of
women, president of the Student Body, president pro tern of tlie
Student Senate, treasurer of the Student Body, and president of
WSGA.
The Board of Allocations meets in the spring quarter and makes
recommendations for the coming year, to be submitted to tile Student

on a study of the budgets of the past year and the proposed budgets
for the coming year for each of the 18 activities, supported by the
student activity fees.
Each regularly enrolled student of A.P.I, pays $7.50 in activity
fees quarterly. From each fee is taken $2 to be applied to the retirement

government has made outstanding
advances in the fields of finances,
organizations and intramural
sports.
Several new cabinet posts have
been created which should provide
a real service to the students of
the school. These include the posts
of finance, religious affairs and
public relations. The post of student
welfare existed under the
old constitution and was included
under a new official title in the
new constitution. The student welfare
department was responsible
for the housing registration and is
in the process of conducting a job,
and sanitation survey.
These examples do not begin to
cover the1 full scope of the powers
of the new student government,
but they are outstanding examples
of how the student government
can provide real services to the
average student.
Since Auburn student government
does have a worthwhile reason
for existence through service
granted .to the student body, the
average Auburn student should
take an active interest in the activities
of student government and
should help select the people he
feels most qualified to carry out
the. responsibilities of the office
to which they are elected.

nursing a tubercular family. The
minister had called and was standing
at her bedside when he learned
that she had not "received ministerial
assurance of absolution from
her sins." He asked her what she
was going to say when she met
St. Peter. Trie girl pulled her thin,
care-worn hands from beneath the
cover and said, "I shall show him
my hands."
No, I don't think accommodations
for freshman girls are really so
tragic. They can always look forward
to Alumni Hall with its dining
room, and the dormitories at
the Quadrangle with its dining
room and social center—much
better to look forward to than facing
a communist—down the muzzle
end of his gun!
Edwin Williams
Dear Editor,
In a recent "Letters To The
Editor" column there appeared a
letter from M i s s Anonymous
which seemed to me to be a letter
of mere jealousy toward the boys
living in Magnolia Hall. The writer
of this letter must know very
little about the living conditions
of men here in Auburn. She said

that freshmen girls need pleasant
surroundings in order to help
them get_ adjusted to college life.
Well, a boy has to adjust himself
to college life also. The boys don't
adjust themselves to college life
living in Magnolia Hall to begin
with either.
Before a boy can move into
Magnolia Hall he has to stay in
the barracks a quarter or more
unless there is a great number of
vacancies here (Magnolia Hall).
In my opinion a quarter in the
barracks affords as many incon-vences
as does Auburn Hall in a
whole year. They are just about as
far off the campus as they could
be and still be called part of Auburn.
I remember several nights
last winter when we had to dig up
all the blankets we. could find in
order to stay warm. The winter
wind blowing through the cracks
around the windows, would blow,
your hair out of place.
The writer mentioned having to
get up at 6:55 every morning to
go down to eat. That is a horrible
hour for a beautiful young freshman
to get up, but if they didn't
get up at this time how would
they be able to attend an 8 a.m.
class? The boys have to get up
around that time also. They surely
don't get their meals served to
them in bed. '
They have to walk almost halfway
across the campus to get their
meals. She also mentioned something
about their furniture being
scratched up. Who scratches this
furniture up? Only freshmen live
in Auburn Hall so one doesn't
have to guess who does it. The
poor freshmen boys don't even
have any furniture to scratch up.
The writer seemed to think that
all the boys in Auburn lived in
Magnolia Hall but it only accom-s
modate's about 400 of the 5000
boys attending Auburn.
As I understand it, the freshmen
girls move out into the Quadrangle
dorms after their freshmen
year. These are equivalent, I
think, in most respects to Magnolia
Hall. After everything is
taken into consideration, I think
the girls at Auburn have just as
good of living conditions as do
the boys or even better.
