"This is going to be fun," says Ruth Price, junior in education
from Decatur to Instructor A. L. Lumpkin of the Alabama Air Serv­ice,
as she learned how to sign her log book. Miss Price was the
first student pilot to "go up" under the new CPT program.
Instructor Frazier Fortner of the Alabama Air Service, left, gives
some final instructions to Julian Braswell, junior in chemistry from
Tuskegee. Braswell was the first student pilot to "take off" in the
advanced training plane, used in the secondary phase of the CPT
program. v
70 Enrolled in New
Auburn CPT Program
Sixty Enrolled in
Primary Training
A new Civilian Pilot Training
program began at Auburn this
week as some 70 potential pilots
began their period of instruction
which will continue through the
next three months.
In the primary phase of train­ing,
60 students are enrolled.
These will receive ground instruc­tion
and flight training sufficient
to marit the awarding of private
pilot's license after the required
number of flying hours are ac­quired.
In the secondary phase, ten
students are enrolled. This group
is composed of students who have
received their private pilot's li­cense,
following successful com­pletion
of the primary phase of
training. These pilots are to re­ceive
advanced training in heavy
bi-planes, which boast 225 horse­power.
First prospective pilot under the
primary phase to take to the air
was Ruth Price, junior in physical
education from Decatur. First
pilot to begin instruction under
the secondary phase was Julian
Braswell, junior in chemistry from
Tuskegee.
Mrs. Harry Smith,
Auburn's Official
Chaperon, Recovering
Mrs. Harry Smith, Auburn's
official chaperon, known more
familiarly perhaps as "Miss
Maud," is at present recovering
from a severe attack of appendici­tis
in Saint Margaret's hospital in
Montgomery. Mrs. Smith was
stricken suddenly three weeks ago,
and was carried immediately to
Montgomery.
Miss Maud has been a familiar
figure at the Auburn dances in the
past. As the official chaperone of
the college, she attended all the
dances and like functions given on
the campus.
Miss Rosa Lee Walston, Dean of
Women, expresses regrets on the
absence of Mrs. Smith from the
mid-term dances. "We certainly
missed Mrs. Smith at the dances,"
she said, "and we hope she will
be able to return soon." •
According to Miss Allie Glenn,
sister of Mrs. Smith, she is recov­ering
slowly, and as soon as she
is able she will be moved to the
local hospital where her friends
may visit her. Miss Glenn visited
her sister last Sunday.
Sho' Nuff, You Cornerites, We Are
Downright Sorry About This Error
It Seems Shag Hawkins
Is from Corner High
To Basketball star Shag Haw­kins
and to Corner High School.
Ever since Shag became the star
basket-chunker for the Tiger
^hardwood boys, the Plainsman has
committed the unpardonable sin
of constantly listing the Shaggy
One's prep school as Dora High.
Which it isn't. Hawkins prepped,
and played ball, for Corner High.
In making excuse for our error,
let us plead that our friends at
Corner High, and Mr. Hawkins,
remember that in the Student Di­rectory
Shag's address is listed as
"Dora, Route 2." Now wasn't our
mistake a natural one? How were
we to know that Dora, Rt. 2 was
just around the corner 'from
"Corner High"?
1 Recently an Auburn student
paid a visit to Corner High. He
was beseiged by angry High
Schoolers who informed him, with
vehemence, that Shag belonged to
them, and not to Dora High. They
were properly indignant, and
rightly so, for it seems that if

New Occupational Exhibit Set Up in
Library to Aid in Career Planning
To Be Used Mainly for
Freshman Instruction
An occupational guidance ex­hibit,
to aid freshmen students at
Auburn in planning their careers,
is now on display at the main
library.
The exhibit was arranged by
Dr. Paul Irvine as a member of the
Faculty Forum Committee on
Freshmen Progress and Failures
of which Dr. Roger Allen is chair­man.
The large poster featuring the
words "Planning Your Career,"
which is the central theme of the
exhibit, was made by a class in
applied art under the direction of
Prof. F. W. Lincoln.
Miss Mary Martin, librarian,
has cooperated' in bringing to­gether
all the materials of the libr­ary
that are pertinent to occupa­tional
choice, including biograph­ies
and fiction that reveal the
lives of successful workers in
various vocations.
The freshman English classes
will work with the problem during
the second semester, according to
Dr. Leo H. Gosser. Each freshman
is to receive a small pamphlet en­titled
"Your Career" which will
be used as a basis for his English
themes. The more detailed infor­mation
included in the exhibit will
serve as source material for fur­ther
reading.
The exhibit provides means for
self-guidance of students in mak­ing
vocational and educational
plans as well as for those who
want accurate and up-to-date in­formation
regarding an occupation
already chosen.
Tonight's Program Scheduled to Begin at
7:15; Small Admission Will Be Charged
The Dixie Choir Boys, ages 10 to 13, will appear in
Langdon Hall at 8:15 tonight, sponsored by the Auburn
Glee Clubs. Admission will be 25 cents.
Emmerich Eber, formerly a leading soloist and later
an instructor of the world renowned Vienna Choir Boys
of Austria, is director of the Dixie Choir Boys whose voices
have thrilled thousands in the South and gained recogni­tion
wherever they have appeared. Mr. Eber was educated
at the University of Vienna, study­ing
with George Gruber, noted di­rector
of the Mozart Boys' Choir.
State's Maroons Edge Out Win
Over Auburn's Plainsmen, 48-44
Shag Hawkins Tops
Conference Scorers
By Sixteen Points
By JOHN PIERCE
Sports Editor
A gallant last-second rally by
Auburn fell short last night and
the Plainsmen dropped their third
conference basketball game with­in
a four-day period, falling to
the Maroons of Mississippi State,
44-48, in Alumni Gym.
Auburn grabbed an early lead
as Hawkins and Manci scored six
points in the first two minutes,
but the visitors soon roared ahead,
holding at the half a lead which
they never relinquished.
State, enabled by the height of
its six-foot lineup to come down
from the backboard with the ball
in probably three of every four
cases, gathered its forces to stave
off a final drive by the revived
Auburnites with but seconds of
playing time remaining. With Fa-gan
Canzoneri dropping in points
from mid-court and Shag Hawk­ins
scoring from beneath the
board the Tigers closed a ten
point gap to come within a point
of the Maroon total, then fouled
themselves out of the ball game
as the visitors brought the mar­gin
to four points with successful
free throws.
It was Shag Hawkins, as usual,
who led the scoring on the floor.
Scoring 18 points, the lanky Au­burn
center went into the South­eastern
Conference scoring lead,
16 points away from his nearest
rival, Pinky Lipscomb of Vander-bilt.
Shag has now scored 95
points in six league games.
In the preliminary the frosh
avenged the only loss of their 13
games played 'to date by dropping
the Montgomery Y in a return
match, 32-17. Cornelison, midget
freshman, led the scorers with a
13 point total.
The Tiger cagesters will meet
the Jackets of Georgia Tech to­morrow
night at Alumni Gym-
Riding Classes
There are some twenty vacan­cies
in the riding class section
meeting on Monday afternoons
from 4 until 5 o'clock, according
to Col. J. J. Waterman. Sopho­mores,
juniors, and seniors in
ROTC who wish to become mem­bers
of this class should apply at
the Military Office in Samford
Hall immediately.
nasium in an SEC battle. The
game will start at 8 o'clock, pre­ceded
by a freshman game at
6:15. The Technicians whipped
the Plainsmen last Saturday in
Atlanta.
The original arrangements which
distinguish the Dixie Choir were
written especially for them by Mr.
Eber. These boys, who are from 10
to 13 years of age, were carefully
chosen because of voice, personal­ity
and scholarship. On tour are
Warren Atkinson, Billy Bass, Jack
Brooks, Ralph Cline, Nelson Cole,
Tom Curry, Jack Durant, Roy
Ford, Dick Humphrey, Tommy
Jackson, Nelson Jenkins, Jr.,
Tommy Jenkins, John Lovin, Ed
Lowery, Homer McNaron, Merle
Newton, Julian Stephens, Joe
Thomas, Don White and Charles
Wilson.
Their academic work is continu­ed
as they travel with Mr. Eber.
Mrs. Olive Cheek Humphrey, man­aging
director of the choir, and
Mrs. Nelson Jenkins, serve as
tutors. Pretty Faye Little, whose
lyric coloratura voice at fifteen
was heard coast to coast and for
whom a successful singing career
is predicted by prominent radio
and motion picture authorities, is
traveling with the Choir as guest
soloist and will sing difficult ob­ligates
with the boys in several
selections.
Mrs. Olive. Cheek Humphrey is
past president of the Birmingham
Music Club Chorus who received
recognition at The National Fed­eration
of Music Clubs in Balti­more
two years ago.
The Dixie Choir is a member of
the Alabama Federation of Music
Clubs and will enter the competi­tions
to be held by the Federation
next spring, both as a group and
as solo entrants.
On this their second winter tour,
the Choir will sing at Huntingdon
College, Montgomery, Florida
Southern College, Lakeland; popu­lar
recreation resorts and tourist
clubs, such as Bradenton and
Sarasota; and fashionable hotels
in West Palm Beach and other
points in Florida.
The Dances? Why of Course They Were
A Success - Everyone Had a Good Time
Approximately 300 Girls
Attend API Junior Prom
Approximately 140 out-of-town
girls attended the mid-term dances
held last week-end. This is nearly
fifty percent attendance as about
300 bids were mailed out.
Nearly all of the girls were kept
in the fraternity houses that were
designated by the Interfraternity
Council. In addition to the six
fraternities selected, the Lambda
Chi Alpha fraternity held a pri­vate
party for dates of the mem­bers
and pledges. A few guests
were kept in the dormitories.
Savitt and his aggregation were
well received by the Auburn danc­ing
element, although the attend­ance
was somewhat less than ex­pected.
The Social Committee has
given no report as yet as to the
financial success of the set of
dances.
One of the highlights of the
week-end was the excellent per­formance
of the Toppers, Savitt's
vocal quartet. The three girls and
a boy sang encore after encore for
the delighted dancers.
Excellent weather conditions
during the week-end were instru­mental
in making it a successful
one. The campus was lively, al­though
many of the students went
home after examinations" were

When Are We Going To Wake Up, CAMPUS CAMERA
merica?
It was the end of the picture. As the
words "The End" flashed on the screen
of the theatre, the strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner" were heard. One lit­tle
girl, she must have been twelve years
of age, arose from her seat and stood
reverently throughout the playing of our
national anthem. The remainder of the
audience either arose and left the thea­tre
or remained in their seats for the
newsreel.
But that little girl stood there, as one
alone, until the strains of that song had
floated away. And then she sat down.
It seemed as if she were the Statue of
Liberty, standing there among demo­cratic
people, reverently saluting our
national anthem and that solemn statue
that holds high the torch of freedom.
And that little girl seemed so all alone,
standing there by herself. She seemed to
symbolize this great democracy of ours
—the United States standing there all
alone in the world.
We did not know this little girl. The
theatre was semi-dark. We could only
see the outline of her form, enough to
distinguish that she was a girl of some
twelve years of age. She is young, as
the United States is young. She is vib­rant,
as is this great nation. And she be­lieves
in this nation, just as this nation
should believe in its heritage and its des­tiny.
But why did we, as well as the others
in that place keep to our seats? Why
did we not rise? We cannot fathom that.
We have heard statesmen and leaders
of the people and pacifists tell us not to
be misled by the playing of patriotic
songs and waving of flags. But why not?
Why be hypocritical? Why not be like
that little girl? Why not believe to the
fullest extent in democracy, in the Unit­ed
States? Why not stand reverently
when the "Star Spangled Banner" is
played, and when "Old Glory" waves
before us? That may be the clue to what
is wrong with this country now. We do
not believe enough. It's all very well to
say that we wish to preserve democracy,
even if we must fight to do so. But do
we really believe this? We are afraid
to say that we do not have enough faith
in these beliefs.
Adolf Hitler says that he will con­quer
the entire world. And he may do it,
because he believes in himself and his
fight. If and when he is defeated,, it will
not be because he did not have faith in
his plan, it will be because of a superior
faith fighting him. England .may have
that faith. We believe that they must
have that faith much more than we. Oh
yes, we are drafting men into the army,
we are setting up a huge defense pro- *
gram. In two or three years we will be

formidable. But will we believe in our
cause, in the cause of democracy? If we
are not going to have faith in these prin­ciples
on which we base the foundation
of this nation, then we may as well junk
this army training and defense program,
and let Adolph take over.
Just prior to the close of the motion
picture which this little girl was watch­ing
so intently, this scene took place:
The star of the film drama, an Ameri­can
foreign correspondent, was talking
over the radio to the United States, tell­ing
of the news of the war in London.
This is the substance of what he said:
"I cannot read the prepared script for
this news broadcast. The lights have
gone out. The air-raid alarm has sound­ed.
German bombers are flying over­head.
You can hear the crash of bombs
outside. Don't turn us off. Hang on to
your radios, America. Build your armies,
your air forces, your navies, gird your
country with steel barriers. Keep your
lights burning. Hello, America, don't
turn your lights off, keep them burning.
They are the only lights left in this
world."
Sure, it was propaganda, but we're
thinking that the majority of Americans
need a good dose of propaganda. Ameri­cans
need to wake up. We cannot help
but remember the plea of Ambassador
William C. Bullitt, upon his return from
France to the United States, following
the fall of France before Germany's
armed forces. In substance, his state­ment
was: "When are we going to wake
up America? Whether we realize it or
not, Britain is our first line of defense.
Are we going to wait until Hitler
marches into Philadelphia and sets his
foot on the steps of Independence Hall?
In God's name, when are we going to
wake up, America?"
Yes, more propaganda, you say. But
what Ambassador Bullitt said was the
result of watching t h e downfall of
France, of watching the push of Hitler's
legions.
When are we going to, wake up ? Are
we going to keep the only lights in the
world burning forever, or will they be
blacked out? When are we going to
really believe and have the utmost faith
in the cause of democracy and the des­tiny
of the United States? If we do not
soon take notice of all these things, it
may be too late. We might well send out
a prayer for some miracle to wake us up
and have faith before Hitler sets foot in
Independence Hall and laughs at us like
a hungry coyote, who although he is
considered a stupid and bloodthirsty
beast, believes in his ability to get what
he wants, and who never loses faith in
his ability to get these things.
Toward Better
Student Government
The latest action of the Student Exe­cutive
Cabinet, in setting up a list of
qualifications for all campus office can­didates
and a Qualifications Board, pro­vides
one of the most progressive steps
toward better student government that
has appeared on the API campus in re­cent
years. The deadline for written
papers which must be presented to the
Board by all prospective, candidates is
almost here. In fact, tomorrow at 6
o'clock is the appointed hour.
This new step should create more in­terest
in student elections. The time for
decision on whether or not a student
shall be a candidate for a certain office
comes earlier in the year than before.
Thus more seriousness should occupy the
minds and decisions of prospective poli­ticians.
However, after a year or two
experience in interviewing candidates,
we believe that the Board should set
up a more rigid set of requirements for
candidates. Scholastic standards should
be met, among others. But this will be
for future Cabinets to accomplish, and
we sincerely hope that future Cabinets
may be as progressive as the student
government bodies of this and last year.
By the way, did you get around to
any studying during the first semester?
If not, then now is a good time to start
for the second semester. The first thing
you know, final exam time will be here
again.

Editor's Note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the ed­itorial
policies of this paper.
Well, "that man", Inspector L.
J. Mercure of the Civil Aeronau­tics
Administration was here again
and the suspense is over. How­ever,
we knew that those to be ex­amined
for their Private Licenses
were thoroughly capable of per­forming
the prescribed flight
maneuvers. And the training re­ceived
during the last four months
has developed these boys and
girls into safe and capable pilots:
Clarence Eugene Harless, McDan-iel
B. Jackson, Bill Miller, and
Raymond Arthur Owens were pro­tegees
of Instructor A. L. Lump­kin.
E. J. Horder, R. T. Smith, J.
Reed Thompson, Guy Ward, and
Eddie Taylor were members of
Instructor Wilbur Stokes' group.
Temple Bowling, Jack Wilson, Ed
Moody, Henry Faucette, and
Frances Wilson were taught to
fly by Charles Roberts. T. R.
Bazzell, and John Gilder learned
to fly under ,the tutelage of J. F.
Brennan. Gray Harley, Frank Ka-base,
Arthur Lynch and Ozella
Taylor earned their wings with
the aid of L. B. Dobbs.
So it is with a sort of regret,
yet pride in their success, that we
file their folders and grade books
away—marking them "Finished".
But it would seem more timely,
perhaps, to mark them "Begin­ning"
for they are standing on a
new threshold "where all experi­ence
is an arch through which
gleams an untraveled world."
And we have another group
which API and Alabama Air Serv­ice
is justly proud. Due to the
enviable record established here
last year in safety and standard
of performance, the Civil Aero­nautics
Administration provided
an opportunity for a carefully se­lected
group to continue in ad­vanced
flying. It consisted of a
course in acrobatics on a 225
horsepower Waco Trainer. These
finished products are:_Joe Ware,
who is entering the Army Air
Corps; Ed Allen who might be
called a good representative of
the fine students Auburn puts out;
Handley G. Thigpen who is so in­terested
in aviation that two days
after he finished his course, he
dropped in to pay a visit in a new
Taylorcraft belonging to Bill
Woods of Selma, Ala.; and Bob­bie
Nester, one of the first boys
to learn to fly off the airport
here. Also Craig Jackson, presi­dent
of the Junior Class at API.
* * *
Earl Guy might be a good pros­pect
for a "cub-coup-honeymoon-special."
He has a new co-pilot,
the former Mildred Sanford of
Birmingham (Sis to the athlete,
Jack Sanford). . . . Congratula­tions
to Tom Elkin and his at­tractive
wife, nee Charlotte Scott
of Headland, Ala. We've been ex­pecting
Tom to come out and pass
the stokers for it was a brand new
baby girl. (Maybe he is afraid his
shirt tail might be cut again).
. . . Ed Allen made a "between
semester" trip down Miami way
to visit the prettiest gal you ever
saw, Miss Carylon McGee of Mem­phis,
Tenn. She came through here
on her way south last week but
we just couldn't persuade her to
stay.
Using the airways:
Bobbie Hill flew Polly Hall-man
up to Alex City to see her
family; E. R. Calloway filled a
ship with gas and took off in the
general direction of Gainesville,
Ga.; Mr. and Mrs. Reyburn Byrd
flew up to Anniston, Alabama to
visit friends in their ship, the
Silver Streak.
We are all excited over the
seventy new students who are
starting this week. And we'll be
able to tell you all about them
next week. In the meantime, we
hope they will spend as much time
as possible out here and learn
what fun flying is. Everyday the
station wagon leaves from in
front of Ramsay Hall, five min­utes
before each hour. So if you'd
like to bring your cameras out;
or observe the student pilots; or
join in a game of horseshoes; or
watch the maneuvers of the acro­batic
class; fly, or just bask in the
sun, we'll be seeing you "On The
Runways."
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman
Dear Dan,
So all of a sudden there ap­pears
an editorial saying that the
cut system has failed.
Since this is a matter close to
the heart of all the students here­abouts
I would like to know a few
things about this failure, namely:
•"How has it failed? Who decided
that it has failed?"
As I remember it, the fight for
"cuts" was a long and bloody one
and we the students, would like
to know a few facts of why and

Personally, I do not recall hav­ing
used a single cut, for the en­tire
time that the rule has been
in force, but it is indeed a solid
feeling to have them available;
a sort of bank account.
I repeat the old, old argument
that has never been answered in
connection with this problem: "If
by the college era, a student
hasn't learned when to sleep and
when not to sleep, or when to
work and when to loaf, is it not
time that he does learn? And what
better place to learn anything
than in school? Has anyone learn­ed
how to handle money by hear­say?
Did anyone learn self-re­liance
while tied to his mother's
apron strings? Are huge muscles
developed by dreaming about
them?

While on the subject, it looks
as if the army has the names
backwards. Seems it would be
more descriptive if the general,
who remains in a rather secluded
atmosphere, was called private,
and the private, who meets every^
body, should answer anyone who
called him general. He probably
would, anyhow, but that's not the
point.
Says Karrie, the Kampus Kibit­zer,
"Just what is the point? To
me it's about as pointless as a
poached egg. Who are you to be
renaming the army in this time of
crisis?"
Student Opinion
By STUDENT OPINION SURVEYS
In the United States, says the
Manitou Messenger at St. Olaf
college, an egg thrown at a presi­dential
candidate rates the head­lines
in all newspapers. In Mexi­co
the incident probably would
have been dismissed immediately
because of the thrower's inaccur­acy.
Which is by way of introducing
a collegiate discussion of United
States relations with the neigh­bor
to the south. With few ex­ceptions,
the view of undergrad­uate
editorialists is skeptical, re­sembling
in tone the recent ob­servation
of the Daily Nebrask-an:
"Mexico, long suspected of
being a hotbed of fascist senti­ment
and fifth column activity,
evidences what seems to be a sin­cere
desire to rid herself of anti-
American elements. At least offi­cial
Mexico announces such a
policy. The Mexican declaration
of fact and policy is heartening.
A large country, and one so close
to our own, Mexico would be a
powder-horn of revolt against
western world peace if its gov­ernment
became intimidated to
fascist influence."
Another midwestern publication,
the Daily Kansan, is similarly far
from convinced. "Mexican poli­tics
being what they are," ob­serves
the Kansan, "it is some­what
difficult to swallow the re­cent
explanation by President
Cardenas that refusal to grant
concessions to the Japanese was

-—-When the army air corps said
it needed more "manpower",
Fullerton Junior college authori­ties
took it literally and passed a
regulation to discourage co-eds
from enrolling in the school's
civilian flight training program.
All prospective enrollees had to
pledge themselves to seek further
flight training with the army or
navy air corps — thus eliminat­ing

declare women are "of no mili­tary

based on 'continental solidarity.' "
"Many veteran observers," the
Daily Iowan joins in "recall with
no pleasure a Mexican action
which foreclosed on property held
by American oil companies in
Mexico." It would be well, for the
furtherance of good relations, says
the Iowan, "to establish some kind
of solidarity on this score, prefer­ably
a just one for the oil com­panies."
More willing to accept Mexico's
declaration of good faith is the
Indiana Daily Student, which feels
that Mexico has "answered her
critics in a way to stifle even the
most bitter. Her action is a com­mendable
example of attempts by
South and Central American
countries to mold the Western *
Hemisphere into a 'united front'
against all interlopers."
A Michigan Daily writer notes
that "the United States is making
strained efforts to treat -Mexico
with the same respect accorded
Canada. Now plans are being made
for an elaborate defense 'under­standing.'
Reports indicate the
United States intends giving Mexi­co
funds for improvement of
naval bases which could be used
as stations for United States
ships; that Mexican air bases
might be enlarged and made
available for United States planes
defending the Canal Zone and the
Gulf of Mexico. Included in the
proposed plan are possible trans­fer
of four United States destroy­ers
to Mexico, mechanization of
the Mexican army with United
States financial aid, and exchange
of naval, air and army officers.
"Why the United-States should
transfer four destroyers to Mexi­co
instead of using them itself to
patrol Mexican waters is not
clear. It is obvious who will profit
by the exchange of officers. And
the United States should think
several times before mechanizing
the army of a country whose im­mediate
history is saturated with
blood violently shed. In fact, "the
University of Michigan editorial­ist
believes," great care should be
taken in planning the whole gen­eral
co-operation with Mexico.
Mexico has had a particularly tur­bulent
history, and one can onlyv-'
speculate on her future course.
Not that Mexico is likely to turn
totalitarian or be especially dang­erous
if she did; but the United
States does not have surplus funds
and war materials to give to na­tions
of fluctuating political posi­tions."

CO-OPING
By C. J. BASTIEN
Mitec had a meeting at which
Mr. Ralph B. Draughon spoke to
almost a hundred of the members.
The topic of his speech was the
Co-op plan and how it has suc­ceeded
as viewed from the Presi­dent's
office. He was indeed com­plimentary
to us in his remarks.
He then spoke shortly about the
effect of the war and its unrest on
student opinion and work. A very
nice speech given from a view
point which is different from that
met by students in their every­day
work.
Mr. A. 0. Taylor also gave a
short speech at the meeting on the
Co-operative plan; he stated that
there are now almost three hun­dred
and fifty Co-ops attending
Auburn. He urged all Co-ops to
join their respective professional
student- societies on the campus.
During this meeting, representa­tives
to the Engineering Council
were elected to represent the club;
they are, J. I. Joyner, and R. H.
Robertson.
The Mitec Club has" settled on
the date, time and place of its
informal dance: Friday, February
21, nine o'clock at the Girl's Gym.
Milton Christian will play for the
dance; he is a newcomer to our
campus as orchestra leaders go
and I am sure that we will all en­joy
him. He has played for nearly
all of the Birmingham-Southern
dances for the last couple of
years, and I can assure you that
his rhythm will not shake the place
to the ground as orchestras I have

Staples-Tune Marriage
Attracts Wide Interest
Widespread interest centers in
the announcement of the plans for
the wedding of Miss Sara Virginia
Tune of Columbus, Ga., and Roy
Harvard Staples of Auburn, which
will be solemnized on February 7
at 6 o'clock in the afternoon at St.
Paul Methodist church in Colum­bus.
Rev. Kenneth MacGregor,
pastor of the church, will read the

Immediately following the cere­mony
there will be a reception at
the home of the bride's after
which Mr. Staples and his bride
will leave for a wedding trip to
be planned en route. Later they
will make their home in Auburn
where he is professor of art.
What Fools We Mortals Be
While reading a group of ex­change
papers from other colleges,
. we noticed the mottos at. the mast
heads and came up against a
something that seems to be a re­sult
of our super-civilization, a
regretable s o m e t h i n g : "The
World's Greatest College News­paper,"
"World's Largest College
Newspaper," "The Only College
Daily in the Southeast," "Wiscon­sin's
Oldest College Newspaper,
This trend is not only in mot­tos
but permeates everything that
members of this high-powered
civilization undertake. If some­one
undertakes to organize a so­cial
club it's gotta be the biggest
and best and although there may
be no need of huge pennants, or
a large orchestra to dance by,
they gotta be had because some
marked, at the very least, "super
excello!!!" (with the three ex­clamation
points), and if it wasn't
sold, at someone's Fifty Year An­niversary
Sale.
We would forever lose face be­fore
our friends if the tobacco
we smoked, was not of the long­est
leaf, the first crop, the light­est
in color, and fifty per cent
longer burning.
A regretable something that has
quietly become a part of our civi­lization,

Errol Flynn Starred
In 'Sante Fe Trail'
At Tiger Wednesday
"Santa Pe Trail," the new Errol
Flynn-Olivia de Havilland co-starring
picture, which has its
premiere local showing on Wed­nesday
at the Tiger Theater,
brings to life some of the most
colorful figures of America's his­tory.
Dealing with the turbulent
days of the era just preceding the
Civil War, the story is said to top
the thrills of "Dodge City," "Vir­ginia
City" and "The Sea Hawk."
Flynn portrays Jeb Stuart, fam­ed
cavalry commander, Ronald
Reagan is cast as General George
Custer, and Raymond Massey plays
the fanatical John Brown—three
names that ring out of history's
pages. Other players who portray
real-life characters in the film are
Alan Hale, William Lundigan, Van
Huflin, Guinn Williams, Gene Rey-ble,
Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard
and Olivia de Havilland head the
breath-taking cast of stars.

last Thursday, nine third year
Co-ops were initiated into the
Beta Chapter of the Briaerean, a
Co-op honor fraternity installed on
this campus by a group from
Georgia Tech just a year ago.
The men were tapped at a meet­ing
of the Mitec Club on Tuesday
night, and were required to wear
a large gold "B" from the time
of the tapping until they were ini­tiated.
President Don Kirk called the
men forward after a short speech
and gave each a bid and a gold
"B," and Mr. Alex. O. Taylor,
Director of Co-operative Educa­tion,
and an honorary member of
the society, welcomed the initiates

After the initiation ceremonies,
the new members were received at
a banquet.
In common with all honor fra­ternities,
the Briaerean is primar­ily
interested in fostering higher
standards of work and leadership,
and to this end various awards are
made to the outstanding freshman
and senior each year; the fresh­man

Miss Cherry Leaves;
Mrs. Greene Arrives
By REDDING SUGG
Over in the Quadrangle the
Dean of Women is having a hard
time with her face—one side of
it is wet with tears and the other
is wreathed with smiles. This
phenomenon is due to the abdica­tion
of Miss Lily Barnes Cherry
and the ascension of Mrs. Mary
McGehee Greene as the dean's sec­retary.
Leaving this week with a flash
of those famous ankles, Miss
Cherry said, "This is the most ir­regular
thing in my life." Since
September, 1939, she has become
more than a secretary both to Au­burn's
enlarged population of
women students and to her em­ployer,
Dr. Rosa Lee Walston.
Co-eds have paid her the compli­ment
of becoming her friends by
the score, and her presence at
headquarters has helped to make
it the pleasant place it is.
With charming firmness Miss
Cherry kept the facts of her life
to herself, and all that goes on the
record is that she was reared in
Opelika, schooled at API, and was
secretary to the Opelika superin­tendent
of schools before coming
to work in Auburn. Her plans for
the future she says are secret, and
we are not the ones to shatter her
illusion.
"Lily Barnes is a fine person,
Profusely illustrated and attrac­tively
bound, the book presents an
exhaustive record of blast furnaces
built and operated in Alabama.

and we are losing first a friend
and then an excellent secretary,"
said Dr. Walston. "The only good
thing about it is that Mary Greene
is taking her place."
As another local paper com­mented,
Dr. Walston can sure pick
her wimmen. No sooner was the
Quadrangle stricken with sorrow
to lose Miss Cherry than it was
overjoyed to gain Mrs. Greene.
Mrs. Greene already has many
friends among the co-eds. She is
the wife of Dr. James E. Greene
of the School of Veterinary Medi­cine,
and^she was formerly secre­tary
in the Agricultural Educa­tion
office.
Also a graduate of API, Mrs.
Greene is noted for her beauty.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Bruce
McGehee of Auburn and of the
late Dr. McGehee, who was a popu­lar
pastor of the Auburn Method­ist
Church.
As the Quadrangle quiets down
after the excitement of the secre­tarial
succession, the rest of the
campus turns green. Such luck—
and two times straight!

Auburn Drops Two Cage Games
Tennessee Wallops
Plainsmen 51-33
At Alumni Gym
By JOHN PIERCE
Sports Editor
Following pipe-legged Bernie
Mehen, the Tennessee Vols Friday
night plastered Auburn's previous­ly
unbeaten cagers with their
first defeat as they put on a heat­ed
second-half rally to win by a
51-33 score before a capacity
crowd in Alumni Gym.
The defeat dropped the Plains­men
from their first place notch
in the Southeastern Conference,
was the initial loss in eight games
played this season.
Despite the wide margin of the
Vol victory the game proved an
interesting exhibition of basket­ball
tricks and turns, that is, un­til
the visitors found the range to
the basket midway in the third
quarter and began dropping them
in from everywhere but the dress­ing
room.
In a rough and tumble first
half Tennessee went ahead 18-17
at intermission time, due largely
to the inability of the Tigers to
make good on their foul shots.
However, with the resumption of
play, Shag Hawkins' mates fell
before a spirited field goal bar­rage
that swept the Vols into a
secure lead.
Mehen, forward for Tennessee,
led the scoring with a 16 point
total, with Auburn's Shag Hawk­ins
scoring 11 for the runner-up
spot.

Apologies
(Continued from page 1)
there is any High School that the
Corner High chillun don't like, it's
Dora High. They're strong rivals
in everything, and the Corner
chillun didn't like for Dora to get
all the glory.
We humbly beg your forgive­ness.
No Florida Game
Varsity basketball teams of
Auburn and Florida are not meet­ing
this season for the first time
in close to a score of years. A
change in the dates of the annual
Southeastern Conference tourna­ment
made it impossible for the
Tigers and Gators to clash on the
court during 1941.
No Seniors
Not a single senior is a mem­ber
of Auburn's varsity hard­wood
squad of 18 this season. The
18 includes eight sophomores and
10 juniors.

Tech Tops Tigers
In SEC Battle in
Atlanta Saturday
Georgia Tech's unpredictable
basketballers snapped back from
three consecutive losses just a lit­tle
harder than the Tigers of Au­burn
could snap back from their
one of the night before, and so
thumped the Bengals with their
second cage defeat of the week­end,
48-39, in the Tech Gymnasium
in Atlanta.
Carlton Lewis, great Jacket
guard, was the fly in the Auburn
soup throughout the entire night's
proceedings, dropping in 18 points
from assorted spots to share scor­ing
honors with Shag Hawkins of
Auburn who scored the same num­ber.
The Plainsmen struck quickly to
take a two-goal lead in the first
period but fell behind as the quar­ter
ended. From this point the
Jackets were never headed, lead­ing
10-9 at the quarter and 30-22
at the half.
The defeat slapped Auburn from
a first place tie in the SEC stand­ings
and enabled Florida to slide
in as undisputed leaders, having
lost but one league game.
