AU is a special place ...

A first!

Back in the day (and I'm referring to MY day of the late 60s into late 70s because I'm old), Auburn was noted for having some of the most beautiful coeds in the country. Princeton University, back then, published an annual review of universities, including campus life. I remember a comment about Auburn that was basically, "Drop in at the student union on a Friday or Saturday night. Even the leftovers are the best you'll ever find." And I remember watching an Auburn football game on national TV, and the famous announcer said, "Auburn coeds are the most beautiful anywhere. If you have a son, send him to Auburn."

Well, coeds like the ones pictured (and other beauty queen sorority types) were never my interest. For me, this was the time of hippie girls and free love. As a very popular singer/songwriter/guitarist in the late 60s to late 70s, I had my pick of hippie coeds. I eventually ran off with my favorite and have been married to her for 45 years.

Still, I'm glad Auburn has some real beauties on campus.
