PROFS IN A POTPOURRI A friend in a pinch and an enemy in fnn is the premier writing man of the faculty. James Saxon Chil- ders injects the writing habit into his proteges with the same tough dispatch of an editor maihng a re- jection shp: Mniiibo Jumbo, Es- quire came off the presses in May. It ' s the Great White Chief at his veddv, veddv best, suh. E.(gbert) Sydnor Ownbey was one of the youngest men ever to be- come a Ph.D. at Vanderbilt Uni- versity. His daughter wields a mean mentality too ; she can read French and isn ' t in tlie first grade yet. So youthful did Dr. Ownbey look before taking over Shake- speare at ' Southern that the Presi- dent feared people might think him too young. Shuttling back and forth between Havana and Birmingliam is the habit of Sciior Harry F. McNeel. A scholarly Christian gentleman, his interest in students only be- gins in the classroom, actually doesn ' t end until they ' re dead. Buenos dias and hasia manaita are his trademarks. Leon F. Sensabaugh, authority on political science, international rela- tions, and Latin America, is also the school ' s number one diplomat. Once, in a discussion about Peru, the learned Doctor decided to give his opinion about the country. Hes- itantly, he asked, Is there a Pe- ruvian in the room ? ' No reply. Reassured, Dr. Sensabaugh spoke freely. Farmer-boy Judson C. (Jake) Ward sneaked into the History Department this year fresh from Gawjuh and Emory University. He brought enough mischief and opin- ions to erect spines of professorial die - hards for months ; but he brought, too, pep and a comfort- able-looking stomach. Hair more red than bronze, freckles, and ears. The Phi Beta Kappa key is no more indicative of Dr. Tower than the coke. He ' s been spreading his Seattle accent around the Geog- raphy Department for several years now. Originator of the much- discussed South Today course, and radio producer, he likes co-eds and super-science thrillers. . mong the outstanding develop- ments of the campus year was the College Orchestra under the mies- tro-ship of Gwyn S. McPeek. Graduated from Ohio with honors, he brought his talents South. The College Orchestra became his spe- cial baby, and its spring concert brought gratifying music to the Hill . t last Dr. Hawk broke down and let a little culture seep into the hard-boiled Economics Department. D. Phillip Beaudry let it be known early that he read things besides statistics. . Harvard man. Dr. Beaudry is one of those people who artue soundly because he doesn ' t open his mouth until he knows he ' s 1 ight enough to win. Title of James H. Kincaid is ' In- structor in Biology, but politic- ians know him as the man to see whtn there ' s a sign to be painted for spring elections. Perhaps the most publicized piece of work he did was to rescue the editors of Quad and paint the pasteboard through which cover-girl Paty stepped. Most colorful of classroom char- acters is Robert S. Whitehouse, who has been known to stand on his desk and threaten to wring necks collectively and individually if someone didn ' t please conjugate habeii correctly. On the campus, however, the linguist is the mildest of people. |ir] Professor Felix Robb, of the Eng- lish Department, is an old ' South- ern man, having set the scholastic side of the Hill afire several years ago. No w, in addition to teach- ing and things, he spends his time keeping up with the film library, which has spread out to serve most of central Alabama. French and France are the life of Anthony Constans. Wearer of the Croix de Guerre from World War I, he refights every battle from Syria to the Cafeteria. One student said of him, Di . Constans can teach more French in the last five minutes of class than the whole Sorbonne.
