CATCH ALL
Yesterday morning a student
walked in the office with a blank
check. (No, not blank face; he
must have had what is called an
honest face.) The check was
signed and he wanted to destroy
it but also wanted the owner to
know it hadn't been cashed. A
check in the student directory
showed only one child of the
signee.
We phoned her and she said,
"Oh, please destroy it. My little
brother is up here and mother
gave him some checks. He
must've lost it."
The man who found the check
wouldn't let us mention his name.

College,
4000 Ex-GI's Swell Registration
Lines But Many Still Left Out
By Jack Thornton
All-time records are being smashed right and'left as more than
6,300 registered students thronged the Auburn campus, among them
4000 ex-GI's, while still more hopefuls pounded on the registrar's
door seeking admittance to API Tuesday.
This quarter's registration sets a record high for the college,
even now surpassing last quarter's enrollment by 2,000 with indi­cations
pointing to a much great­er
margin. New freshmen who
have already registered number
2700, the largest class of frosh in
the school's history.
Most depressing picture of this
quarter's enrollment is the dearth
of coeds. With only 1200 girls in
school, 5100 males will outnum­ber
them five to one. Approxi­mately
75 new freshmen girls
were allowed to enroll but many
more could have been cared for
with more dormitory space.
The School of Engineering
seems to be attracting the highest
n u m b e r of undergraduates,
though classification figures are
not available. All of the various
schools are well-filled, however,
with classes crowded to capacity.
With the influx of the new stu­dents,
who arrived in autos,
buses, trains and a foot, the
problems of living in Auburn in­creased
manifold with living
quarters and food placed at a
premium. Myriads of a u t-o s
swarmed the streets providing an
ever increasing hazard for those
students afoot and creating a
huge parking problem.
Restaurants and cafes have
been crowded to overflowing
with students trying to eat and
those merely killing time. And
long lines are still forming at
local bookstores with study-lov­ing
students fighting for the
scarce textbooks.
All in all it looks like a boom
year for API.
Four Churches Plan
, Town
Preaching Services
A community-college preaching
mission to include simultaneous
evening religious services in four
Auburn churches and morning
services at Langdon hall on the
API campus is being planned for
the week of Oct. 13-18 by pastors
of the Baptist, Methodist, Pres­byterian
and Episcopal churches
in cooperation with college of­ficials.
Visiting speakers of note will
speak in each church of the major
Auburn denominations each eve­ning
during the week, and at the
college auditorium the speakers
will be rotated through the five
days for an hour's session specifi­cally
for students, who will' be in­dividually
excused from classes
to attend the morning sessions.
The visiting preacher for the
Baptist church will be Dr. Dale
D. Dutton, pastor of the Central
Baptist church, Providence, R. I.;
for the Methodists, Dr. Maruin
Franklin, pastor, H i g h l a n ds
Methodist Church, Birmingham;
for the Presbyterians, Dr. H. E.
Russell, pastor. Trinity Presby­terian
church, Montgomery; and
for the Episcopal group, Rev.
Churchill J. Gibson, D.D., rector,
St. James Episcopal church,
Richmond, Va.
Students and faculty are co­operating
with the Auburn minis­terial
union to bring the visiting
groups before the student body
and various campus groups at
API, and civic clubs and com­munity
religious organizations
are offering support of the pro­gram,
which is expected to be an
all-out concerted effort. Dr. L. N.
Duncan, president of API, has
given his unqualified approval to
the simultaneous religious effort
and has pledged support of the
college staff. Not all the speakers
will be present Sunday the 13th,
but all will be present for the
evening services Monday night,
Oct. 14.
Student leaders who attended
the meetings at the President's
home last quarter are invited to
another meeting there from 7 to
8 p. m. next Tuesday.
Friday Last Day
To Get Snapped
"Step right this way, have
your picture made free of charge,
only two days left . . . Hurry,
Hurry . . . LS/MFT . . .Glomer­ata
photographers leaving . . .
Only two days left . . ."
You'd think this a circus if you
listen to the Glomerata staff
very long or read all the signs
they've scattered over the cam­pus.
But they are really serious.
For some silly reason they want
pictures of you 2000 new or lag­ging
students who haven't
smiled for the birdie yet.
Only two days are left, so this
is the last chance. Go by Student
Center between 8-12; 1-5; or 7-10
between today and Friday.
'Oliver Oliver' Casting
Differs From Old Method
TRYOUTS ARE BY APPOINTMENT AT Y-HUT
AND PLAYERS MUST ACT SEVERAL ROLES
Tryouts for "Oliver Oliver" by
Paul Osborn, which will be taken
on the road this quarter by the
Auburn Players, are being held
this week at the Y-Hut, Telfair
B. Peet, director, announced this
week.
"Only by appointment," he
added.
This is a diversion from the
usual method of casting for the
Players.
Mr. Peet prefers that students
stop by the Y-Hut between the
hours of 3 and 5:30 p. m. to make
appointments. Appointments may
be made at night but it is not
desirable. This is part of the ef­fort
to avoid the presence of
crowds during tryouts.
Late permission will be grant­ed
girls when necessary to fill
appointments for tryouts. They
must sign out for the Y-Hut and
sign in at the Y-Hut.
The cast will include four men
and four women. The lead role
has already been assigned, Mr.
Peet said, adding that other Play­ers
must be able to play three or
four roles. No particular role will
be assigned now to any one per­son.
"Oliver Oliver" will be pre­sented
to student groups free and
is being booked for presentation
to town organization for a small
fee.
Stage work is done every after­noon
at the Y-Hut.

AUBURN CHEERS
The never dying love of the
Auburn student toward his Alma
Mater is best expressed by vocal­izing
at the football game. Our
battle cry, "War Eagle", has been
heard the world over; it is the
never fading badge of every Au­burn
man. We all cheer as one,
for we cheer for the same thing, a
victorious Auburn. Know our
cheers at the beginning of the
season so you may be heard as
well as seen around the Auburn

Lumpkin's Vacation Marred by Presence
Of Auburnites Everywhere He Travels
By Taylor Lumpkin
Whew—whatta week-end, and
golly most every bit of it was
lost! People have been drifting
into the village for the past four
days, and preparing for the big
event to follow, namely the bat­tle
of Burton's and the College
Book store. It should be a good
one this time with more than
6,000 students to choose from.
Everywhere we went between
quarters was loaded with Au­burnites
who were also loaded.
Take Panama City for instance.
It was a swell place except the
first day we ran up on Ralph
Patterson, then taking a quick
swing around the Long Beach
Casino we saw M. W. Lowell,
Curtis Gibson, and Bill Amber-son.
After that it didn't last half
as long.
The next day was nice and hot,
and when we saw Jimmie Davis
and Seddon Lee sprawled out on
the shady porch of the Panama
City Beach Hotel like a couple of
bears. Our temperature soared
higher.
This was about all we could
stand so we sent our partner in
crime out to scout the various
joints to find someone to go fish­ing
with. He staggered in late
that night looking like he had
been through a Bendix Home
Launry sideways, but he had it
all fixed up. We were to go fish­ing
early the next morning with
someone from Auburn.
After that we had just about
had it. The purpose of the trip
was to get away from Auburn
and the characters that compose
said institution so we pulled up
stakes and went to Mobile. It
was O K over there until we ran
into Merton Buck and Bill Rich­ardson.
Immediately the juggernaut
was aimed northward, and it
didn't stop until we reached 20th
street in Birmingham, and as soon
as we got out we saw Talmadge
Blair come out of a malted milk
bar.
Seeing those other characters
was bad enough, but this was the
limit. We made a phone call, re­versed
the charges and the car,
then proceeded to Huntsville so
we could blow our top in peace.
We were having a wonderful
time there until we ventured into
The Hunlsville Times building,
looking for a good wastebasket
to salvage. Then we heard the
squeeky voice of Mimi Simms in
the halls.
With Superman like speed we
found the elevator dashed in,
down, out, and around losing
Mimi in the rush.
For the next few days we were
doing swell until we took in a
high school football game in
which York was one of the con­tenders.
The game was exciting,
but the whole York delegation of
Auburnites came over in a body
aiding much to our top blowing.
We then rushed back to Au­burn
arriving just before closing
time last Thursday. After that we
settled down to enjoy the re­maining
few days in peace, and
this turned out to be the lonliest
damn place that we had ever
had t».e misfortune of being in.
There wasn't even a dog or C.

Guidance Center Offers Veterans
Aid in Selecting Vocations
Use of Veterans Administration
Guidance Centers by all World
War II veterans in "helping them
find themselves" was urged to­day
by John A. Broxson in charge
of the VA office at 235 M^ell St.
Mr. Broxson pointed out that
veterans who enter training un­der
provisions of Public Law 16,
which provides vocational train­ing
for disabled veterans, are re­quired
to use the Guidance Cen­ters,
but other veterans also may
have free use of the facilities.
Vocational advisers at Guid­ance
Centers are experts with
years of experience behind them.
They can tell what kind of per­sonality,
experience and back­ground
best fit a given job or
trade. They know current trade
conditions, and what the current
chances are for finding work in
each trade.
Interviews and aptitude tests
of various kinds provide the vet­eran
with a clear picture of his
abilities and potentialities.
Full information on the advise­ment
program may be obtained
at the Veterans Guidance Center
at 235 Mell Street, Auburn.

Postwar ROTC Begins
September, 1947
The adoption of the postwar
ROTC program will not become
effective until 1947. The neces­sary
funds to pay elementary stu­dents
$20 and advanced students
approximately $60 a month for
the school year 1946-47 yere not
made available before Congress
adjourned.
Col. Samuel A. Dickson, assist­ant
PMS & T expressed regret
that his prediction that the funds
would be made available was in
error. The War Department be­lieves
the funds will be made
available during Congress' 1947
session, although the monetary
provisions may not become effec­tive
until September 1947.
There will be no change in the
basis or elementary ROTC pro­gram
or requirements at API un­til
Congress makes funds avail­able.
Registration for advanced
ROTC will be voluntary. Many
veterans are registering volun­tarily
for the second year of ele­mentary
training at present in
order to qualify for the two year
advanced course when it begins.

From A to 6500, Welcome!
Glad to see you!
Yes, even you who are living in those
cozy little cheese cartons. Crowded, isn't
it. But take it easy. Not everybody gets to
be an Auburn Rat.
We're especially glad to see so many
veterans back. That makes the ratio, not
counting married men, four men to one
coed. And it's nice having a few more
girls than were here for the summer quar­ter.
And we're glad to see many of our bet­ter
faculty members are still with us. No
doubt they've been tempted to accept oth­er
offers, but for some reason they're still
here, teaching under strenuous conditions
brought with the huge enrollment. Au­burn
has some great personalities on its
staff. Get to know them.
Only a few decades ago the college was
just a half dozen buildings connected with
paths kept in slipshape by the inevitable
rains. A few buildings and muddy paths,
plus a family-size student body, a small
faculty and administrative body, and—
even before vitamin pills came on the mar­ket—
a pluck spirit that rains, depressions,
and football defeats didn't keep down.
Many of the original pathmakers are
gone, but sidewalks, new buildings, and
more instructors were added to take care
of others who would come along to per­petuate
the spirit. They came. The Auburn
Spirit became known internationally and
the college gained the national reputation
of "the friendliest."
They kept coming, even after the quota
was set at 5500, until today 6200 students
roam the Plains—some of them finding
paths of their own.
It is possible that the Auburn Spirit will
be lost in the crowd. But it isn't necessary.
It isn't probable. So let more come as soon
as there is room.
What does it matter if 6200 students like
to speak to each other when they meet
on the campus or downtown? Or if they
bring back a goal post from a football
game? Or make freshmen wear rat caps,
recite the Auburn Creed and the rats ex­cuse
for living, and make all physically
able freshmen run the 2.7 mile course
known as the Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race?
What does it mean to an Auburn man to
hear a loud "War Eagle?"
If it means anything at all to him, he
has the Auburn Spirit, whether he is num­ber
13 or number 6500.
Extras Beckon, But You Gotta Walk
Some phases of campus life are easily
habit-forming. It doesn't take much effort
to fall into the habit of dropping by a
downtown establishment for a cup of cof­fee,
or in Student Center for a game of
bridge, or to the dormitory for one's date.
Going to class gets to be such a habit that
some students always arrive.
We all have inclinations that can be de­veloped
under competent direction. It may
be that we like dramatics, writing, music,
debating, religious activtes, or radio. We
can ignore these things, or we can find
an outlet for our talents on the campus.
Orientation includes a brief introduction
to organizations comprising extra-curricu­lar
(some of them mighty curricular) ac­tivtes.
This will be the last invitation many
students will be given. Others may be en­couraged
by friends in some particular
interest.
Initiative on the student's part is needed,
however. Competition is going to be keen
around here and if students don't hustle
they'll find themselves with nothing to do
but study. Hmm . . .
Seriously, though, if you're interested in
becoming a member of the Auburn Play­ers,
stop by the Y-Hut to see Mr. Peet.
Singers know to see Mr. Arment over
Toomer's, and Mr. Glyde is instrument in­structor.
Mr. Bidez, of course, is in charge
of the Band, and he'll be in Langdon all
day tomorrow. Then there's debating un­der
the supervision of Dr. Moore and Mr.
Hess.
The Glomerata office is on the ground
floor of B & G. The Plainsman editor is
usually in the office in the Bulletin build­ing
on Tichenor avenue from nine to 12
and from four to six. Students interested
in writing should stop by the office or
attend staff meetings, which are an­nounced
in the paper.
That was a big plug for help wanted on
The Plainsman staff, but we hope every­body
goes to the pep rally and yells for
Auburn.
The Band Is Really Taking Shape
The Great Auburn Band has always
been recognized by lovers of band music
as one of the greatest military bands in
the South. These people are not mistaken
in their opinion of the members' ability to
play beautiful music.
And this year — beginning with the
Homecoming game, we hope—the Band
will wear new uniforms, just as fine as its
music. Parading is much easier when one
is all dressed up. The new uniforms, simi­lar
to the U. S. Naval officers' uniform,
will be blue, trimmed in orange. An orange
pompon will be attached to the cap. A Sam
Browne belt will be worn.
There is still time, you footers, to get
in the show. In fact, Bandmaster P. R.
Bidez says he wants you quick. He will be
in Langdon all day tomorrow, so don't for­get
to stop and see him. The band will be
going out of town to several games, and
members get expenses paid when they
travel.
Bandsmen do a lot of work. It is only
fair that they should wear a distinguish­ing
uniform.
Some Suggestions For All Car Drivers
Cars, cars, everywhere. It looks as
though everybody and his twin brother
has a car and they are all driving to class.
The Plainsman wishes to suggest to all
that cars be parked in the parking places
so as to take up a minimum of space. We
have seen several cases where two cars
were taking enough space from three. It
only takes about a foot clearance front
and back in parallel parking and a foot on
each side in diagonal. Give the other fel­low
a break!
For Homecoming Saturday the number
of cars here will be increased by a large
number of out of town cars. All students
and local residents are advised to leave
their cars at home and walk to the game.

Notes On Registration
(By W. Shakespeare)
Mercy o' me, what a multitude are here!

From the four corners of the earth they come.
—Merchant of Venice: Act II, Sc. 7

We doubt that old Will was
thinking of Auburn and registra­tion
when he penned any of his
immortal lines. But we also
think that the words were very
appropriate for this time. You
upper classmen who didn't get
here to see the freshmen and
transfers trying to get in school
really missed something. The Ole
Timer never saw lines like that in
all his years here.
We even saw one guy lugging
a camp stool around with him.
Not such a bad idea at registra­tion
time. And we did hear from
one of the night watchmen that
a number of prospective students
camped outside the Registrar's
door all Thursday night. Any­way,
we are glad to see the Au­burn
student body growing. We
only hope that it won't be too
long until Auburn has enough
housing, classroom space, and in­structors
to take care of all who
wish to come here.
So to all of the freshman and
transfers "Welcome to Auburn"
and to the old students "Glad
you're back". We'll be seeing you
in this spot every week and we
welcome complaints or sugges­tions.

Driving back from the game in
Montgomery was quite a traffic
problem. And at one time our
thoughts went back to this poem
we read somewhere.
When you're slowed to a crawl
by a lengthy procession
Of cars up ahead like a stream
that's congealing,
And your speech shifts un-silently
into free wheeling,
And your ego, in passing, de­mands
self-expression—
You can bet ten to one if you
venture your roll,
The lead car will be the State
Highway Patrol.

Some appreciation is due the
Athletic Association for their at­tempts
to improve the ticket situ­ation
for the football games. With
the terrific demand for tickets
this year and the greatly en­larged
student body we think the
association has done very well in
their provisions for the student
body. When you consider that
the stadium here will only seat
7,200 and that 6,000 of those seats
have been reserved for students
you must admit that is a very
generous allotment. They are also
to be commended for their ef­forts
to let married students pur­chase
a ticket for their wives for
the Georgia game.
* * *
One of the professors here last
quarter decited to take advan­tage
of some of the modern trends
in education so one of the ques­tions
on his final examination
read "Please tell me frankly just
what your opinion of this course
is." We would have like to have
seen his face when he picked up
one paper and read this answer:
"I thought this was a very com­plete
course. Everything not cov­ered
during the quarter was cov­ered
on the final exam."

Pathfinder: "The automobile
Becoming A Wheel
By Taylor Lumpkin
Well freshman, now that you are all set in school and
have attended a couple of classes life probably is a little dull
for you, don't worry about that though. You're not authorized
to enjoy life anyway.
Possibly you have, in your spare time wondered how you
are going to become an import-ant
person on the campus, or to
use the more common term "a
big wheel."
A wheel is a person who is so
darned important on the campus
that everything would get along
very well without him. He is al­ways
going somewhere and doing
nothing. He makes all the foot­ball
games and dances, and usual­ly
looks as if he had just eaten a
dozen green apples.
The definition can be narrowed
down to the simple statement
that a wheel is a person, indi­vidual
or character who rotates
around the campus, but if you ask
John Monroe he'll probably say
that a wheel is a person, indi­vidual
or character that the cam­pus
rotates around.
Before we go into a lengthy
discussion of how one may at­tain
the title of big wheel, you
should first study the various
types of wheels that are on ex­hibit
in this issue. Then you will
be better qualified to determine
exactly what type of wheel you
desire to be. To aid you in your
selection study the pictures care­fully.
Ten Types Defined
First there is the Frank Keown
or Hydra-matic type. It is fully
automatic and requires no shift­ing.
Another prominent type of
big is the Peggy Baker model,
with special emphasis on big.
Then there is the young spirit­ed,
well lubricated, smoothe chin­ned
or Lenny Payne type. It stirs
up dust all over the campus, but
could stand a re-cap job.
The Bill O'Brien type of wheel
is in the middle of one of the
most important jobs on the cam­pus.
Remove it and all the wheels
roll away. This kind of wheel is
the slow and sure type, but de­pendable.
The ball-bearing of Jack Ri­ley
type strongly resembles the
approached the corner at 60 miles
per hour!"
* * *
Overheard: "Too many people
are mixing up a mess of ambition
and finding it bitter, while they
toss contentment in the garbage
can."
* * *
Wilder Anthony: "It is the
spirit behind beauty, rather than
mere physical perfection itself,
which singles a woman out from
amongst others of her kind."
* * *
Boss: "Rastus, you good-for-nothing
scamp, where have you
been loafing all day? Didn't I tell
you to lay in some coal?"
Rastus: "So ahs been, so ahs
been, boss, tho dere am lots of
softer places where ah'd ruther
lay."
* * *
Examiner (to applicant for a
driver's license): "And what is
the white line in the middle of
the road for?"
Applicant: "Er, er, er, oh yes,
for bicycle riders!"
* * •
Will Rogers: "I'm not a real
moviestar. I still got the same
wife I started with nearly twen­ty-
eight years ago."
* * *
Wanted: "A man to undertake
the sale of a new patent medi­cine.
The advertiser guarantees
that it will be profitable to the
undertaker."
* * *
Well, Fellow-student . . . "one
of the ten thousand things of the
universe," All-A's and a cool
holiday!
O'Brien wheel. It makes no noise,
but rotates freely.
There are some wheels on the
campus that just cannot be stop­ped.
Take the Paul Owen or
spinning model for instance. It
is rotating so fast and in so many
directions that everyone is in
grave danger of being crushed.
Beware of this type, it gets lost
in its own dust.
There are still several other
kinds of wheels that haven't been
menioned—namely the Byrd Lee
model or the kind with cogs in
it. These cogs are always reach­ing
out trying to finangle a dol­lar
out of someone.
Others are: the little wheel or
Dick O'Cain type, the wheel that
is out of alignment (any resemb­lance
to Ralph Jennings is not
coincidental) and lastly the Starr
Prolsdorfer or wide rimmed va­riety.
It's safe from blow-outs.
Becoming A Wheel
Now that several varieties have
been pointed out, and assuming
that you have selected the kind
that you want to be. We will dis­cuss
the basic rules for wheeling.
1. Get a pair of sun-glasses,
and wear them everywhere ex­cept
the last two rows of the
Tiger theater. Be sure to get the
right kind though. They must
have green lenses and gold rims.
However, if gold rims are not
available any other kind is per-missable.
2. Get a key chain and wear
an Auburn key on it. Never twirl
it in public though; it's too ob­vious.
3. Wear your rat hat at all
times, and be darn sure you print
your name on it.
4. Always come to classes
slightly late, and walk across the
front of the room so everyone
can see you. Then sit on the back
row so you will not be called on.
This rule can also be applied to

FILE THIRTEEN By The Editor
"File Thirteen" is an Army
term meaning the waste basket.
This time the waste basket could
catch enough to fill the whole
paper, but we gotta have ads,
James Marcus says.
Five weeks is a long time to let
publicity blurbs accumulate—and
too long for the three mosquitoes
in the office to go unfed. They
sure are hungry now.
Ex-Editor Mimi Simms must
have left her note here the latter
part of August, judging from its
position in the stack. "Plainsman
—same as ever—now and al­ways!"
she wrote, "(no ink in the
pen!)" There was the note from
T. Lumpkin: "If you don't like
this you can rewrite it. I have to
go to the schoolhouse now."
We've been away from the
friendly village so long we've al­most
lost the speaking habit.
With the big crop of freshmen
here we should be reminded of
it, though. Freshmen MUST
speak to everybody. Most students
find the tradition of saying
"Hello" worth perpetuating. It
has made us famous, and it cer­tainly
makes living more pleas­ant.
* * *
The Birmingham Post's public
relations manager, Don Seiwell,
has promised to write a guest
column for us while here doing
research. Perhaps he'll tell us
who's going to win the "Lena
the Hyena" contest. He showed
us a few of the entries and they
were worth a nightmare or two.
* * «
We've decided there is no
limit to the enrollment at Au­burn.
Rumor was last quarter
that only 5500 would be acepted,
but that figure has stretched to
around 6000. The town staggers
under the load, but who are we
to say there isn't room for one
more?
* * *
A number of faculty members
have left, but there is none, prob­ably,
whom the students will
miss as much as Kirtley Brown,
former director of student af­fairs.
He was a busy man, but
never too busy to hear problems.
He usually pointed the way to a
solution. If he has an enemy on
the campus, we are poor snoop­ers,
because we don't know of
one.
On The Side With Lenny Payne
Now that you are in school again you are beginning to
think that vacation wasn't so bad after all, aren't you? Too
much is expected of college students anyway, especially by
the professors and deans. The professors expect you to study
your assignments at least two or three nights a week and
they want you to hand in your homework on time, which
isn't always too easy if you sometimes can't find anyone to
copy it from. They even expect
you to come to class and actually
frown upon having someone
answer for you.
The deans expect you to pass
all of your courses and usually
insist upon your going to another
if you don't or at least upon your
leaving this school. They have
been known to send nasty little
letters to your parents and at
times they even go so far as to
call you into their offices where
they make insulting remarks con­cerning
your intelligence and
threaten you for not having a
high IQ.
Too much is expected of the
younger generation anyway. Why
Wordsworth himself tells in one
of his own poems that he danced
'til dawn while he was a college
student and we have to stop at
twelve o'clock.
* * *
The dogs are still here only
they don't run around in packs
as much as they did in the
Spring. Now you can see them
roaming peaceably around the
campus except when one of them
goes mad or when it is raining
(It has been known to rain in
Auburn). Where they disappear
to when it rains I would like to
know. Who knows, I might even
solve the housing shortage.
It has been suggested that the
dogs around Auburn should be

Recreational Programs To Be Sponsored
By Advanced ROTC And Military Staff
Voluntary recreational programs for ROTC students will
be sponsored this school year by the military department.
The management of the activities will be by committees se­lected
by various ROTC classes, with the supervision and as­sistance
of the military department.
Tenative dates for ROTC dances and military balls are
as follows: Fall quarter, Oct. 11
Nov. 22, and Dec. 14; Winter
quarter, Jan. 24 or 25, Feb. 14 or
15; Spring quarter, Mar. 7 or 8,
Apr. 5, and May 23 or 24.
The committes from voluntary
ROTC students w i l l decide
whether these above dates will
be open to all voluntary ROTC
students or whether there will be
some dates set aside for particu­lar
groups, such as advanced stu­dents
or elementary students or
non-voluntary students or for a
particular branch of the service.
The military department is also
contemplating offering extra cur­ricula
activities for voluntary
groups of the ROTC. They will
include courses in public speak­ing,
foreign languages, short
wave radio, and interpretation of
one's reading. Equipment will be
requisitioned from the war de­partment
for the pursuance of
these courses.
There will be four rifle teams
organized from the Field Artil­lery,
Engineer, and Air Corps
students, and a girls team.
Matches will be scheduled from
the three branches, and the best

Navy Retains Corpsmen
For Hospital Duty
The Navy will retain all male
naval Hospital Corpsmen who
have completed less than 18
months of active duty, regardless

"The Navy regrets that because
of the large number of war cas­ualties
remaining in naval hos­pitals
it is necessary to retain
these men," the announcement
said. The action will result in an
additional one to six months of
duty for some Hospital Corps re­servists

WORLD-FAMOUS PAINTER OF THE AMERICAN SCENE
V-2 ENGINEER
The Story of
DICK PORTER
TT is typical of Dick Porter's experience that his
•*• latest assignment, that of experimenting with
such "guided missiles" as the V-2 rocket, is almost
a complete engineering departure from his earlier
fields of concentration.
As a senior at the U. of Kansas in 1934, his in­terest
was in radio. His doctor's thesis at Yale in
1937 was on frequency doublers.
But at General Electric Dick found opportunity
to learn other phases of engineering. In G-E engi­neering
courses and "on Test" he worked out prob­lems
in transformers, induction motors, oil circuit
breakers.
His first major assignment with G.E. was in a
field not only new to him but to the electrical in­dustry—
he contributed to the pioneer research in
amplidyne control.
As the war progressed, flight engineers began to
dream of the Superfortress, whose gun turrets
would be turned electrically, whose heavy guns
would be aimed electronically. Development of this
gunnery system called for a supervisor whose en­gineering
knowledge ranged through many fields.
It was Dick Porter, less than ten hard-working
years out of Kansas U., who drew the assignment.
This year he was presented with the Yale Engi­neering
Association's award for the advancement
of science.
Next to schools and the U.S. Government, General Electric
is the foremost employer of college engineering graduates.
For his campus radio station, Dick built studio
and transmitter equipment.
Today he is project engineer in the study of
captured V-2 rockets.

Radio Operators
To Start Ham Band
By Al Steinberg
As plans are progressing now,
by next month, a large group of
electron-addled characters will be
cluttering up the upper end of
the broadcast band with what
they hope will be legal transmit­ting
sets. Ray Kitchens, president
of the AIEE conspired with Shel­ley
Bostick to see what could be
done about collecting the local
existing and potential hams into
one organization of radio ama­teurs.
Toward this end the first
meeting was held Monday night
of last week.
A gratifying number of en­thusiasts
turned out to get the
dope and contribute to the con­fusion.
Fortunately six of 28
present were licensed operators.
From those were selected a prexy,
vice president, and secretary in
the form of citizens by the names
of William Robinson, Robert Ton-dee,
and Shelley Bostick.
To get permission from the
Federal Communications Com­mission
to broadcast in the ham
band you have to prove you are
an American citizen and pass an
exam on Morse code as well as
radio theory. Code requirements
are to be able to send and re­ceive
thirteen words per minute.
The answer to the questions on
radio theory can be learned by
passing all senior courses in radio-tronics
or by spending one even­ing
reading the Radio Amateur's
Handbook (priced at a dollar).
When work begins in earnest
next quarter, the club hopes to
have every member working to­ward
his license by practicing
code or studying theory. Sheldon
DeBardelaben was voted to di­rect
work on theory and Lawson
Beatty was assigned the same
duty in the di-da section.
The present difficulties are in
trying to locate hangouts where
all this great activities may be
persued. Some of the code prac-ticying
machines used by the
navy until they dissolved their
radio operator's school here in
December, 1944 may be borrowed
by the club.
A second meeting to further
consolidate the club was held
Monday afternoon. By npw most
of the bugs of organizing should
be settled so that club activities
may begin immediately next
quarter.
The hams don't intend to in­fringe
on the time devoted to
AIEE meetings or otherwise inti­midate
electric power majors
having no interest in radio.
Maybe someday we can look
forward to radiophoning instead
of hiking home.

VETS INSURANCE ACT
OF 1940 IS AMENDED
Insurance benefits to War II
veterans have been extended and
liberalized by amendment to the
National Service Life Insurance
Act of 1940, VA officials an­nounced.
Principal new provisions in­clude:
(1) lump sum payments on
death; (2) insurance is now avail­able
to all veterans up to $10,000
regardless of whether they pre­viously
have had NSLI; (3) an
unrestricted beneficiary clause,
even to making corporations or
estates beneficiaries; (4) total dis­ability
payments up to $50 per
month.
As originally issued, the perma­nent
policies provided in NSLI
were: ordinary life on which the
policy holder pays for as long as
he lives; 20 payment life, on
which premiums are paid for on­ly
20 years; and 30 payment life.
Endowment Policies
In addition to these types of
policies, the amended law pro­vides
for 20-year endowment poli­cies,
endowment at the age of 60,
and endowment at the age of 65.
On all of these endowment poli­cies,
the premiums must be paid
for the indicated length of time,
at the expiration of which the
face value of the policy may be
paid to the Veteran. Those vet­erans
who have converted their
term insurance to one of the pre-

have carried only $2,000, for ex­ample.
In that event he can ob­tain
$8,000 more. He may have
no NSLI at all. He may get up
to $10,000.
The veteran may designate rel­atives
as his beneficiaries, or any
person or persons, corporation or
his estate may be named benefi­ciary.
Policy Settlements
Under the new provisions, set­tlement
of any policy may be
made in a single lump sum to a
beneficiary, or the veteran may
elect for payments to be made in
equal monthly installments, va­rying
at his desire from $36 to
$240 a month.
Total disability payments un­der
the new provision means that
a veteran who is totally disabled
for as long as six months is paid
at the rate of $50 a month on a
$10,000 policy, or $5 a month for
each $1,000 of insurance.
M. E. Head, Manager of the
Alabama Regional Offices of the
Veterans Administration, s a id
rate tables for the new policies
had not been received yet in the
Regional Office and advised vet­erans
to wait for announcement
of receipt of the rate tables be­fore
writing to the Regional Of­fice
to ask for conversion to the
new plans.

welcome to its campus. We feel
deeply our obligation to serve the
needs of all those who desire to
come to this institution for their
college education, believing we
have an obligation in trying to
continue to preserve our Ameri­can
democracy, based on equality
of opportunity and personal liber­ty
through education. We are
striving under great handicaps to
meet our responsibilities to each
of you in these trying times. With
the aid of Federal and State
agencies we are expanding our
facilities as rapidly as possible at
a time when conditions limit
quick and effective action.
We are fully aware of the fact
that the war is not over for the
colleges. It is our desire to use
every physical and human re­source
to capacity in order to
meet the demands of the times. I
This is a great challenge for the
colleges all over the country. We
are earnestly trying to meet that
challenge at Auburn.
Under these circumstances, we
ask your indulgence as we try to
work out a satisfactory adjust­ment
for all. Please keep in mind
that we at Auburn are ready to
help you in any way we can.
With all good wishes to each
and every one of you, I am
Sincerely yours,

Always carry two books, and

WHAT EVERY FRESHMAN NEEDS TO KNOW
Auburn Rats and Ratlets, be­ware!
Auburn tradition has a pattern
for your life as a freshman. Au­burn
upperclassmen are here to
see that you carry out this plan.
So here are your Rat Rules,
which you must know as well as
your own name.
1. Do not walk through the
Main Gate under any circum­stances.
Walks around the Gate
have been constructed for your
use.
2. Always carry matches for
use of upperclassmen.
3. Obtain and learn thoroughly
the "Rat's Excuse for Living," so
that you may repeat it with prop­er
expression upon the request
of any upperclassman.
4. Speak to absolutely every­one
you meet on street or cam­pus.
5. All freshmen will be present
at all mass meetings.
6. Learn and be able to sing
all of Auburn's Alma Mater.
7. Know the location of certain
familiar landmarks to which you
may be asked to direct one—the
petrified stump, the stadium, and
Zoo. (In the good ol' days, the
Quadrangle was referred to as
Zoo.)
8.Wear your Rat Caps at all
limes you are out doors.
9. Learn the Auburn Creed
thoroughly.
Special rules for Ratlets:
1. Don't hang around the necks
or key chains of the BMOCs.
2. Don't walk across the grass.

AUBURN STUDENT'S CREED
Auburn's own Dr. George Petrie, retired dean of the graduate
school, wrote this Creed in 1943. It, more than anything else ever
written, embodies the true sentiment of the Auburn Spirit. We
pass it on to you freshmen, to learn, adopt, respect, and abide by.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count
only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work
wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot
win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.
I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with
my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for
all.
I believe in my country, because it is a land of freedom and.be­cause
it is my home, and that I can best serve that country by
"doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."
And because Auburn men and women believe in these things,
I believe in Auburn and love it.
Will Rogers: "College is won­derful
because it takes the chil­dren
away from home just as
they reach the arguing stage."

ALMA MATER
On the rolling plains of Dixie
'Neal its sun-kissed sky,
Proudly stand, O Alma Mater,
A. P. I.
To thy name we'll sing thy praise,
From hearts that love so true,
And pledge to thee our loyalty
The ages through.
Chorus:
Hail thy colors, Orange and Blue,
Unfurled unto the sky,
To thee, our Alma Mater, we'll be true,
O, A. P. I.
Hear thy student voices swelling,
Echoes strong and clear,
Adding laurels to thy fame
Enshrined so dear.
From thy hallowed walls we'll part
And bid thee sad adieu,
Thy sacred trust we'll bear with us
The ages through.
Chorus:
God, our Father, hear our prayer,
May Auburn never die!
To thee, our Alma Mater, we'll be true,
Our A. P. I.

Cabinet Prexy Writes
To Auburn's New Freshmen:
Congratulations and Welcome!
We are proud that you have
chosen Auburn to be your Alma
Mater and home for the next few
years. It is indeed a pleasure and
a privilege to welcome you, the
freshman class, to "the friendli­est
college in America."
Upon enrolling as a student
here, you automatically became a
member of the Student Body.
You are represented by the Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet and will
elect from your class a president
and a representative who will
serve on the Cabinet. The Cabi­net
is your only official repre­sentative
to the administration.
Should any issue arise that you
do not think is for the best in­terest
of Auburn, it is your duty
to contact your representatives to
the Cabinet or some member of
this organization. It is his duty to
represent you and your duty to
support him and increase his
power by voting one hundred
percent in all elections.
After a few weeks at Auburn
you will find a love of the school
brewing inside you and before
you realize it Auburn will have
become a necessary part of you.
That is the way Auburn affects
you and this growing love is
known as the "AUBURN SPIR­IT".
It consists of that friendly
greeting to everyone you meet, to
honesty, and to the spirit of
working together for some com­mon
good. These are a few of the
things that earned Auburn the
name of "The friendliest college
in America." We Know that you
will make good the opportunity
to keep it here.
To do this requires certain obli­gations
from every student, es­pecially
freshmen. It is part of
the AUBURN SPIRIT that you
take it upon yourself to learn
the Alma Mater, the Auburn
yells, and the Auburn Creed. We
place upon your shoulders a re­sponsibility—
keep the "Auburn
Spirit" alive—Will you take it?
We the older students at Au­burn,
welcome you to the great­est
school on earth and envy you
the next four years which will be
the happiest of your lives.
Sincerely yours,
Bronze Youmans,
President of Executive
Cabinet

Tigers Brave Hurricane Here Saturday
Furman, Like Mississippi, Not Expected
To Be Easy Victim For Auburn Tigers
By Jimmy Coleman
Football weather report: 'Prpl Hurrcne frm Grnvlle, Sth
Crlna schdld to hit Aubrn Stdum arnd Srtdy 2:30 p. m. All
obstcls in immdte area be prprd for wrst".
Coach Voyles and assistants have been warned, their
Tiger fold has been taught a few
tricks on how to brave the
weather, especially how to be on
the lookout for wisps of air like
cyclonic Charley Truluck, Fur-man
back who sprinted 95-yards
against the Crimson Tide two
weeks ago.
Furman Tough
One thing sure, the heavy
Furmans will prove to be a tough
opponent. Fans haven't forgotten
the surprise power shown by
Mississippi Southern, and they
can expect anything from the
Greenville boys who last week
trounced Wofford 31-0, and have
the reputation of Southern Con­ference
giant-killers.
The 11,000 fans in Cramton
Bowl last week saw something
they didn't expect. Southern was
strong. Auburn was strong. It was
a good game from the neutral
observer's viewpoint, but Au­burn
followers expected a push­over—
and many left the stadium
disappointed. They didn't realize
Southern was so strong; but they
were. In fact, it is reported that
the Hattiesburg crew held a sec­ret
scrimmage with powerful
Tulane and ran Frnka's boys off
the field humiliated, 13-7. This
goes to prove that the hereto­fore
unheard of teams are taking
advantage of a wealth of GI ma­terial,
and with sound coaching,
are going to mar the prestige of
many a grid power before the
year is out.
As one member of the present
Auburn football coaching staff
was quoted as saying over a year
ago, "We can expect to see the
fastest football ever to be played
during the postwar period". As
you can see, his prophecy ap­pears
to be coming true.
Air Attack
After seeing the Tigers' first
game, it seems that one of the
best passing attacks in the
school's history is being de
veloped. One loyal supporter has
already expressed his opinion
that Auburn exhibited the best

Voylesmen Hit Stubborn Resistence
In Debut With Mississippi Southern
By Frank Sego
Carl Voyles' untried edition of 1946 Auburn Tigers ran smack
up against a stubborn opponent in once-tried little Mississippi
Southern College, but with the aid of Tossin' Travis Tidwell, the
freshmen sensation, managed to beat the electric clock to a 13-12
decision before some 12,000 frenzied fans in Montgomery's Cramton
Bowl last Friday night,
Statistically speaking, the Tiger machine held an upper hand
in every department during the evening but it was a wall-aimed
toe of Fullback Bull Cochran for
the placement after Tidwell's first
touchdown that provided the
Plainsmen with their margin of
victory,
Being outweighed approximate­ly
10 pounds per man by a beefier
Southern line, Tigers were forced
to take the airways in order to
find their way to the Mississippi
goal and Tidwell and Big Bill
Wilson were just the lads to do
it.
Real Action Begins
Both elevens performed at an
even keel throughout the initial
quarter but midway of the sec­ond
hell broke loose as the 175

lb. former Woodlawn High School
star gathered in Johnny Le-
Gros' punt on the Auburn 35 and
raced up to the Tiger 47. Wil­son
took over, heaving a long
one to Tidwell, and with the fine
blocking of B a b e Gendusa,
Traveling Travis zig-zagged his
way down to the Mississippi
seven, a distance of 46 yards.
Tidwell then flipped to Gen­dusa
for two and Don Brouse
added three over the middle. Tid­well
took the oval on the two
and slashed his way into pay
dirt. Cochran's placement was
good and the Auburn Tigers
were out in front, 7-0.
Southern Scores
Mississippi Southern lost no
time in the third period. After
an exchange of punts the Plains­men,
with their backs to the wall,
resorted to the air and Wilson
did the chunking but his pass, in­tended
for Tidwell, was inter­cepted
by Southern's substitute
halfback, Ray Nobles, who twist­ed
24 yards across the Auburn
goal. Sawyer .Sims' attempt for
the point failed and the Tigers'
margin was trimmed to 7-6.

Only a few brief minutes lapsed
before the Voylesmen were back
in the ball game with the magic
right arm of Tidwell throwing to
Co-Captain Sam McClurkin for
33 great big yards. Cochran
plowed his way through center
for 10 more and Tidwell made a
beautiful sweep around the right
flank for eight yards and his sec­ond
tally of the evening. Coch­ran's
try for the placement was
muffed and the Tigers led 13-6.
Aren't We Rough?
The see-saw touchdown parade
continued after Auburn had
drawn a 15 yard penalty for un­necessary
roughness in the fourth
period. Bruising Joe Latham,
hailing from Lawley, Ala., cruis­ed
around the right side of Au­burn's
line for 50 yards before
Tidwell and Wilson ran him out
on the five. Vernon Wells lugged
it over from the four-yard stripe
and thank goodness, Sims' at­tempted
placement failed again.
Auburn led, 13-12.
Midway into the fourth canto
Cochran and Tidwell manuever-ed
the pigskin down to the
Southern 10 where a costly fum­ble
was recovered by Cooter
Lewis, the stocky Miss, center.
'Scuse It. Please
Twice more during the fray,
Auburn missed excellent scoring
opportunities when the ball went
over downs inside the opponent
10-yard marker.
The contest ended, however,
with the desperate Mississippians
making a determined goal line
drive but the electric clock out­ran
speedy Johnny LeGrps and
Auburn had achieved its first
victory of the 1946 campaign.

Auburn's aerial minded Tigers
gave a very good account of
themselves in the Mississippi
Southern game Friday night de­spite
final outcome. Once the
Tigers get over their goal-line
fright and make their scoring op­portunities
count, Coach Voyles
will heave a sigh of relief. Au­burn
was inside Mississippi
Southern's five yard line five
times but unfortunately the
scorekeepers only count crossing
the goal-line a touchdown.

Furman has seen lean years
while playing Auburn in the past,
but this year they anticipate a
change in diet. Furman played a
very good brand of football
against the Crimson Tide and
like good liquor they should im­prove
with age. The Tigers will
have a hard job getting their
claws sharp enough to claw their
way through the Furman line,
but with Tidwell and Wilson
teaming up Auburn should be-two
touchdowns better than the
boys from Furman University.

Coach Bob Evans has spent
much time in lining up the in-termural
sports program for this
quarter. Bullard Field has been
converted into four football fields
which will be used for the inter-fraternity
touchfootball games.
Besides having touchfootball,
Coach Evans has also lined up
horseshoes and wrestling for the
fraternity boys.

Seems that everyone is sticking
his or her neck out in making
predictions for the coming games.
Here is the way I see it, but my
money remains (what little is left
after New Orleans) in my pocket.

Alabama over South Carolina,
Tulane over Florida (they nearly
wrecked the Bama machine),
Georgia over Temple (gotta ride
