Learning of Alma Mater
Dear Students,
I want to bring to your atten­tion
something that is of utmost
importance to us. As you know,
the singing or our Alma Mater
has not been up to par at any of
the football games this season.
We realize that copies of the
Alma Mater aren't available to
every student, but we are making
a special effort to see that every
student gets a copy in the near
future.
In the meantime, it is sug­gested
that you clip out the copy
appearing in today's Plainsman
and attempt to memorize it so we
can make Memorial Stadium rock
in Columbus when we play Geor­gia
Nov. 16. Copies of the Alma
Mater will also be passed out at
Pep Rallies just1 as soon as they
can be printed. All other schools
know their Alma Mater, let's not
let Auburn and its spirit down.
Bronze Youmans,
President of Student

Khufu Temple Of Scarab Taps Eight
Men Outstanding In Architecture
The local Khufu Temple of Scarab fraternity, national honorary
society for undergraduate students in architecture who are out­standing
in architectural scholarship and creativeness, tapped-one-senior
and six juniors for membership and one faculty member for

FUNERAL FOR BYRD
HELD IN COLUMBUS
Services were conducted Mon­day
afternoon for Charles Joseph
Byrd, junior in aeronautical ad­ministration,
from the Striffner
Funeral Home, Columbus, Ga.,
following his death as the result
of a car accident in Atlanta Sat­urday
night.
The accident, which killed Stu­dent
Byrd and injured Miss Mar­tha
Stuggard of LaFayette, Ga.,
occurred near the Emory Univer­sity
Hospital when the Jeep in
which Byrd and Miss Stuggard
were riding overturned at an in­tersection.
News of Byrd's fatal accident
was received with a great shock
by his numerous student friends
in Auburn, who knew him for
his gentle but witty personality.
The esteem which was held for
him by his college mates is a
credit to his character, his family,
and his Auburn activities.
Byrd, who was a member of
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, en­tered
Auburn in 1942. He left
school in 1943 for the Army, and
returned in January 1946.
Present and former Auburn
students who served as pall­bearers
are Ben Ansley, Jim
Flannagan, McLendon Jenkins,
Walter Ware, Harold Buck, Char­lie
Dennard, Harry Dicas, and
Lawrence Woolbright. Members
of the ATO fraternity, who at­tended
the funeral in a body,
were honorary pallbearers.
The purpose of Scarab is to
foster a broader knowledge of
architecture and allied arts, se­cure
through association a more
refined culture, stimulate a great­er
interest in expression through
the graphic arts, promote friend­ly
competition, create fellowship

from'Ft. Benning were guests of
the Episcopal Church Sunday.
Chaplain S. P. Gazek who is com­pleting
his tour as chaplain at the
Infantry school at Fort Benning
and who was chaplain for the
82nd Airborne in Europe made
arrangements for the visit and
accompanied the group of officers
to Auburn.
After morning service at the
Holy Innocents Church where
Chaplain Gazek gave the sermon,
the officers were invited by Can­terbury
Club members to Sunday
dinner at the fraternity houses.
The afternoon was spent in sight­seeing
tours of the campus.
Sunday evening the group was
the guest of the Canterbury Club
at the Episcopal Church. Supper
was served and Telfair Peet gave
an interesting talk on "The Part
Religion Has Played in Drama."
The Chinese officers arrived in
the United States last August to
attend the Fort Benning Infantry
School. Upon completion of their
training in the Spring they will
return to China. While in the
United States the officers wish to
visit as many of the university
campuses in this area as possible.
In rank they range from lieuten­ant
to colonel.

HERE'S THE ALMA MATER—CLIP AND LEARN
On the rolling plains of Dixie
'Neath 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.

Game Starts Saturday
2 P.M. In Montgomery
By Frank Sego
A Travis Tidwell-sparked Auburn Tiger football machine
will roll into Montgomery's Cradle of the Confederacy for
the second time this season as they are booked to come to
blows with Coach Red Sanders' Vanderbilt Commodores on
the familiar turf of Cramton Bowl at 2 p. m. Saturday.
The Tiger-Vandy meeting will
see the third consecutive week­end
for Voyles'-coached Plains­men
to be pitted against highly
seasoned Southeastern Confer­ence
competition. These same
Tennesseans held the rest of the
Big 12 spellbound when they
launched the 1946 campaign in
championship style by keeping
their first three opponents from
penetrating the Commodore goal
line.
Saturday's embroglio will also
mark the first occasion for the
two loop elevens to face each
other since 1934 when Vandy
walked toward the dressing room
with a heart-breaking 7-6 ver­dict..
..Jii-'-
Tidwell to McClurkin
Naturally the scrapping men of
of the Plains will rely heavily on
the invincible battery of Tidwell
to Sam McClurkin for their of­fensive
dynamo. This is the com­bination
that contributed Au­burn's
lone marker against Tech's
powerhouse last Saturday.
Meanwhile up in Nashville
Coach Sanders has nothing but
praise for the triple-threat per­formances
of his own J. P. Moore
and Binks Bushmiaer, the pair
of halfbacks who generate the
power for Vanderbilt's single
wing offense. . .
- • -The Commodores swung into
their present campaign with con­vincing
wins over Tennessee
Tech, Ole Miss, and Florida be­fore
losing a 10-7 battle to Ken­tucky
two weeks ago. Last Sat­urday
LSU bounced back from
their Georgia Tech humiliation
to hand the Tennessee lads their
second setback, 14-0.
Tigers Victory-Hungry
Coach Voyles and the Tigers,
hungry for the SEC victory, are
disregarding all propaganda from
Commodore quarters in regards
to a relatively weak Vandy pass
defense. All future Auburn op­ponents
are taking time from
their routine drills these days in
order devise on some means of
stopping the dreaded Tidwell and
Coach Sanders and his competent
assistant, Here Alley are no ex­ception
to the rule. Coach Alley,
of the 1944 Plains coaching staff,
has scouted the Tigers on several
occasions this year and anything
can happen out there in the Capi­tol
City Saturday afternoon.
Herring Ready
Hal Herring, the sophomore
quarterback from Lanett who
saw a great deal of action against
the Engineers, may be in line for
a starting assignment this week.
Tickets for the Auburn-Van­derbilt
game in Montgomery
Saturday afternoon are on sale
at the Field House until 5 p. m.
Thursday, with an unlimited
number of guest tickets avail­able.
Prices are $1 for students
who bring their own activity
books and $3.50 for guest
tickets. No student tickets will
be sold in Montgomery.
Students may ride the bus
leaving Wright's Drug at 11:01
a. m. or the train leaving the
depot at 10:41 a. m. and reach
Montgomery in time for the
game.
End Carl- Fletcher, and Half­back
McCoy Hewlett won't be
able to overcome the injury jinx
in time for service this week-end.

of plows.
Mr. Bextrom, who was intro­duced
by Mr. I. F. Reed, senior

with belly-laughs galore.
Porter Grant,: assistant coach
and scout for the Auburn Tigers,
will be interviewed on "Spot­lights
on Auburnites" over WJHO
from 9 to 9:30 tonight, according
to Jim Bradley and Paul Owen,
announcers.
Coach Grant, who has scouted
Vanderbilt three times this sea­son,
will tell the Auburn stu­dents
exactly what to expect
from the Commodores. His inter­view
with Jim Bradley will in­clude
much of the valuable in­formation
that he has gathered
for Coach Voyles in an attempt
to defeat the strong team from
Nashville.
In the future, "Spotlights" will
continue to give the latest im­partial
coverages of fraternity,
sorority, sports, and campus news.
Students, coaches, and athletes
will be interviewed to give the
student body a better idea of
what goes on around the campus.
News items may be left in the
News Bureau, S207 for "Spot­lights"
before 4 p. m. each Mon­day.
Another student program, "Tig­er
Varieties," is broadcast from

Missionary Appointee to
Brazil, will be on the Auburn
campus Thursday, November 7th
to speak to the Presbyterian stu­dents
and church members.

Local Press Wheels Attend ACP
Convention in Windy Chicago
By Taylor Lumpkin
CHICAGO, Oct. 26 (By telegraph to The Plainsman)—Chicago,
the windy city, around and around it blows, and when it stops you
don't get any more cinders in your eyes, was selected to be host
to the 22nd annual Associated Collegiate Press convention Oct. 24,
25, and 26, attended by collegiate delegates from 38 States.
This is a city of extremes. The ;
tallest building is 42 stories high.
LENA THE HYENA

SPELLBOUND PARTY
A "Spellbound" party will be
held at the Wesley Foundation
Hallowe'en night. Herb Holdsarh-beck
and Betty Hartsf ield will be
in charge of all the spookin
around.
Guests will come in costume
and walk under the ladder at 8
p. m. Holdsambeck says that it
does not matter what kind of
costume is worn but that every
guest must wear a costume and a
mask. A prize will be given for
the best costume.
Girls may have special 10:30
permission for this party accord­ing
to Dean Katherine Cater.
"Dem bones are gwine to rise
again" over at the Foundation
Thursday night so come out all
of you goblins and gobletts,
spooks and spooketts. If you as­pire
to be Miss Lena (the Hyena,
that is) of 1946 or if you are gift­ed
with goulish thoughts then
you are cordially invited to haunt
the Foundation on Hallowe'en
night at 8 p. m.
Doo Cammander, Anne Mitch­ell,
Hermione Farnham, Johnny
Robins, and Cholly Briggs are all
working on this party.
PLANS ARE IN OFFING
FOR STUDENT CENTER
At present the Auburn Student
Center is open every Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
night from 7 until 11 p. m. How­ever,
if the student demand is
loud enough, the Center will be
soon wide-open on each night
throughout the week.
The Center will contain a
warm, friendly atmosphere, for
plans in the making involve such
enticements as bridge games,
games of rook, with coffee to top
off the evening. Other embellish­ments
include the addition of
dancing plus music, and the pour­ing
on of more color by dressing
up the drab walls.
Plans are going hot to arrange
Student Center's deck and bulk­head
so that when an Auburn
and the shortest three stories un
derground, an ordinary hamburg­er
costs 15 cents, and one all the
way $1.75. The climate varies
from rainy to colder and then
hot. Some people speak, some
don't, and the others are unable
to utter a word of English.
The trains and shows always
run according to schedule, and
you can always get free chewing
gum if you scale the Wrigley
building to the summit. The Au­burn
delegates made the climb
two times, and then let the rep­resentatives
from Jacksonville
State Teachers College bum both
packs.
All the delegates are going
about their business very serious­ly,
spending most of their spare
time talking shop with each other.
College papers are being ana­lyzed,
criticized, and commended,
and as expected the WRECK
TECH headlines in last week's
Plainsman went over big. Your
guy and his gal go in, they will
be surrounded by penants, API
colors, and the aura of a true col­lege
social center.
delegates are picking up valuable
information which will make the
Plainsman, the '47 Glomerata, and
other publications knockouts.
The convention, with North­western
University acting as host
is going over great, and every­one
is having an enjoyable as
well as benefical stay.
To be commended: W. D. Max­well,
Chicago Tribune city editor,
for opening the doors of Tribune
Tower to all delegates, the Plains­man
editor for refinancing the
Glomerata editor, the manage­ment
of Marshall Field and Co.
for a choice selection of electric
trains, and mixos Harry and Phil
for the second one on the house.
Theta Chis Honor Howes
The current pledge class of
Theta Chi Fraternity held its
election of officers last week. Bill
Howes of Jacksonville, Fla., was
installed as president, Ed Nurse,
Mobile, vice president, and Wil­liam
Overton, Montgomery, sec­retary
and treasurer.

Everybody...Except the Veteran Student
The most important pay raise, after
boosting teachers' salaries, which must be
effected, is that in the subsistence allowed
veterans for educational purposes. Veter­ans
attending school have begged, remon­strated,
have supplicated themselves be­fore
the throne with hopes t h a t they might
receive a nominal pecuniary hoist. They
have before this been given nothing more
t h a n the promises of politicians.
Now, with the war ended, and beer pos­sibly
cheaper than it has been in four
years, members of t h e t h r e e armed services
have been granted a considerable pay
jump. The average GI has been accorded,
to, more equitable rights, which could
never be "categoried" in standard mone­t
a r y terms, because they are so priceless.
Yet the men—men in every sense of the
word—who fought on the Anzio Beach­head,
the men who battered back the
Bulge, the men who were driven on by
Patton, the men who fought on Guam,
Okinawa, Iwo Jima, who traine d like hell
and fought like hell, who ate C rations
while comfy citizens at home hoarded and
fussed because there weren't enough cou­pons
for the Sunday afternoon rides—are­n
' t t h e y more e n t i t l ed to a raise t h a n those
e n t e r i n g service at present? For they
fought in an oh-so-easy Army, Navy, and
Marine Corps, with dances every Thurs­day,
Friday, and Saturday, movies every
night, and Hershey bars by the million,
not to mention the obsequious officers.
Oh-yes-the-easy war! Such an easy life!
And the Mister Congressmen. Was it last
summer that they created for themselves
a $5000-a-year pay hoist? With the rising
cost of living—high rent, high clothes, high
laundering, high whisky and high hats—
who could blame a member of the govern­ment
for wanting a trifling $5000 more
a y e a r ? It's only n a t u r a l . . . for a Congress­man.
Then too is it n a t u r a l for the v e t e r a n at­tending
school or college under Public
Law 346 to desire a higher standard of
living, or at least a standard^of living com­mensurate
to what' is considered fair in
our United States.
It is known that without adequate food,
without proper housing facilities, a per­son
cannot exert his best efforts scholasti-cally.
No person can eat correctly, or live—
not exist, but live—in proper atmosphere,
when he is being paid $65 a month subsis­tence.
Good room and board for a single
person costs $80 a month or more, whether
i t be at Vassar or Notre Dame, at Colum­bia
or Alabama Polytechnic Institute. The
government of the United States, if it per­sists
in paying the v e t e r a n only $65 single
and $90 married, cannot call itself "send­ing
the v e t e r a n to college."
Considering this, the Auburn Veterans
Organization has already sent resolutions
to Alabama Congressmen. These resolu­tions
asked raising of subsistence allow­ance
$25 for single veterans and $25 for
m a r r i e d veterans. Should veterans organ­izations
from all colleges unite in a gen­eral
request for these increases, then the
United States Congress could not very well
ignore such pressure.
Thanks...But We Can't Afford It
The Athletic Association recently an­nounced
that all married students who
wished to obtain tickets for their wives
could do so—by paying $3.60 for the extra
ticket! It is, of course, very generous of
the Association to make such a gesture.
But, in many ways, t h a t ' s all it is—simply
a 'gesture.'
Because, how can the m a r r i e d veteran—
and there are a sizable number of them
enrolled—afford to pay $4.60 a week for a
football game with all the other expenses
to be met on his limited GI income? Ask
one if he can do it! He will no doubt shake
his head and sorrowfully m u t t e r something
about a radio.
Then there was the thought—Does the
Athletic Association need the ticket
money? The fact that ticket sales for this
season have surpassed all others should
answer that.
In the past the Association has been
highly lenient and cooperative with the
student body. This is one time 'we believe
it has slipped along the way.
We suggest that the Auburn Athletic
Association reconsider and allow APIs
s t u d e n t ' s wives to purchase tickets for
$1.00.
The Latest Dope On Alabama
A 48 page book entitled "This Is Ala­bama"
has been published by The State
Division of Records and Reports. It isn't
one of . those "official looking" books,
but is actually interesting and attractive.
Filled with pictures and facts with an en­gaging
twist, it is one of the most read­able
publications put out by the State.
The summary of facts and figures, very
interestingly written by director Fred
Thornton is very compact.
Here are a few excerpts:
"Alabama, in the heart of the deep
South, is bounded on t h e n o r t h by Tennes­see,
east by Georgia, south by Florida and
t h e Gulf of Mexico, west by Mississippi.
Area, 51,609 quare miles, of which 51,078
is land area and 531 inland water area; a
size larger than Pennsylvania, about one-t
h i r d as big as California. In shape it is a
rough rectangle, with greatest length from
n o r t h to south 336 miles, and breadth, 208
miles. Population, census of 1940, 2,832,961.
"Admitted to t h e Union 1819. State em­blems:
seal, a map of t h e state showing the
principal rivers; flag, a red St. Andrews'
cross on a field of white. Coat of arms, a
shield on which appears the emblems of
t h e five governments that have held sov­ereignty
over t h e s t a t e in whole or in part,

and sweet potatoes; fourth in cotton and
developed hydro-electric power; fifth in
coal."
There is much more in detail, but we
hope that the State of Texas will get a
glimpse of the concluding note. It is:
"It has been the misfortune of Alabama,
as of the South generally, that nearly ev­e
r y t h i n g w r i t t e n about it runs to extremes
of praise and censure. On the one hand,
Alabamians have been pictured as plumed
knights, leading an altogether elegant ex­istence,
with all the virtues and none of
t h e vices. On the other are the villainous
caricatures familiar to the readers of a
certain type of magazine. The t r u t h is that
in between the extremes of applesauce and
invective, Alabamians are people, who,
s t r a n g e as it may seem, bear a striking re­semblance
to other human beings . . .
"The typical Alabamian has l i t t le of the
brag or bluster for which some states are
renowned. He is generally a friendly, cour­teous
person, neither arrogant now apolo­getic,
with a well-developed sense of hu­mor,
freely critical of his own short-com­ings
and tolerant of others . . . The good-n
a t u r e d charge still sometimes aimed at
Alabamians, that they are 'fighting the
Civil War all oyer again,' misses the point
altogether. What they are inclined to fight
against is the notion that all Americans
must in all respects be exactly alike, con­forming
to a uniform pattern laid down
somewhere else . . . A national under­standing
of this sentiment would do much
to promote more harmonious sectional re­lations."

A few years ago there was a
course in short story writing of­fered
here. The instructor was
lecturing to his sudents and said,
"There are four requisites for a
good short story. It must be brief,
contain a reference to religion, an
association with royalty, and an
instance of modesty. Now you
have the rest of the period in
which to write a short story."
After about fifteen minutes a
hand went up. "Finished s,o soon,
Jones?" asked the Professor.
"V«ry well, suppose you read
your story to the rest of the class
and maybe they will get some
ideas."
This is what Jones read: "My
God!" said the queen, "Take your
hand off my knee."

The editorial policy of this par­ticular
column has been to pre­sent
student problems in a frivo­lous
or satirical vein, but this
may stand for sufficient warning
to all who read further in this
article that dead seriousness is
attempted.
Last Thursday night the tra­ditional
pajama parade before
the Tech game was more of a suc­cess
in arousing spirit than any
pep rallies for quite a time. This
does not exclude the fact that
many lamentable events took
place. School spirit is entirely a
different thing from mob hysteria
which leads to destruction of
property and the committing of
shameful acts. Both of these oc­curred.
It is true that the de­struction
of property was so
slight that it can be brushed
lightly aside, but not the spirit
which prompted such acts as
bodily breaking in a window at
Auburn Hall and the same per­formance
at at least one of the
dormitories after an apparent
failure to break in the door.
Girls' rooms were invaded, their
privacy intruded upon, and em­barrassing
conditions were en­forced
on not only the coeds but
their housemothers as well. Wom­en's
garments for which men
could have no use were stolen
(there is no other word for it)
from clothes lines and girls'
rooms, and it is no secret to any­one
that any item of clothing is
not easily replaced these days.
These actions cannot be at­tributed
to the freshmen. There
were freshmen involved, but
freshmen were not responsible
for the origin of such acts; fresh­men
were involved only because
they were led or forced by up-perclassmen.
We gripe and fume about cam­pus
restrictions, senseless rules
forced upon the coeds and the
like but by such actions as were
committed Thursday evening we,
ourselves, can but hope to make
restrictions harsher and enforce­ment
of the same more rigid. It
seems that it is not the girls who
should be restricted but the men
when they perform such deeds.
Unfortunately, our society is so
arranged that to do so is almost
impossible. However, we will be
lucky indeed if there are no
repercussions from this night of
so called fun.
Students do not appreciate
faculty or administration inter­ference
but we bring it on our­selves.
I can say only, in the
words of "Happy" Davis, that we
wanted to WRECK TECH, AND
NOT AUBURN. It is our fault if
we failed.

ALABAMA COLLEGE . . . for
women—
Girls, you don't know how
lucky you are to be going to
college in the year of our lord
1946 because those before you
really had a hard time of it. Here
are some interesting facts which
appeared in the Alabamian:
Pupils of 1900 were "positively
prohibited from making accounts
at stores in town."
Twenty-five cents a week was
considered a sufficient allowance
for unnecessary things.
In 1908 a student had to ob­tain
a written request from her
parent or guardian before she
could go home for Christmas
holidays.
Pupils were not permitted to
entertain either friends or rela­tives
in the dormitory.
In 1925 students were required
to be on the campus by 5:30 a. m.
in winter and 6:00 in the summer.
Students of 1925 were per­mitted
to receive visits from men
on Saturday and Sunday—ONLY.
The calling hours were from two
to six in the afternoon, and be- .
tween seven and nine-thirty in
the evening.
In 1931 students could not enter
a store or make a purchase on
Sunday.

G. M. Dykes, '45, sent us a page
from the Emory Wheel and mark­ed
a paragraph where the sports,
scribe was making an earnest at­tempt
to promote school spirit.
We" quote Bill Hardgrove of
Emory University: ". . . The de­velopment
of the dormant, but
potentially powerful school spirit
at Emory is an .important ele­ment
in the post-war growth of
the college and athletics is one
field which has the most to offer
in the development. (If you doubt
this just get close to the Auburn
cheering section at a football
game when they let" ride with
their world-famous "War Eagle'."

In answer to the question,

Every one of the schools that
Coach Voyles' Auburn Tigers are
yet to play this season are well
aware of the presence of a cer­tain
halfback named Travis Tid-well.
From the sports department
of the University of Georgia's Red
and Black we find the following
shavings by Editor Harry Spit-zer,
"While we're looking at sta­tistics,
take a gander at what a
freshman over at Auburn has
been doing all season . . . His
name's Tidwell, Travis Tidwell,
and he's done everything but eat
the leather . . . No wonder Harry
Gilmer sat on the bench when
they were in the same team in
high school . . . When's that Au­burn
game? . . . Gotta stay awake
and see that one."
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
During the past four quarters
we have had the great pleasure
of being present at the various
formal dances here on the cam­pus.
Before arriving at this institu­tion,
we had heard many a fine
word of praise about Auburn spi­rit,
• sportsmanship, beauty, and
the air of, hospitality, that sur­rounded
the most beautiful vil­lage
of the plains; but not a word
about Auburn's gentlemen. Is it
because there are no gentlemen
at Auburn?
Any visitor at any of these
dances would certainly have
found it hard to find an Auburn
gentlemen, after he had once
been cut on the dance floor.
We don't believe it is too much
to ask of a man to say "May I
cut in?" instead of "grabbing"
you by the arm and literally
throwing you off the dance floor.
If the man does not have enough
pride in himself, to ask for a
dance, he should do so out of re­spect
for the women of Auburn.
We sincerely hope that the
male population on the campus
will wake up to the fact that a
little courtesy can go a long way.

Steinberg's Auburn Spirit Rides
To and Fro in A Golden Chariot
By Al Steinberg
People are always talking about going out and getting the Au­burn
spirit. Now I happen to be an Auburn spirit and I assure
you that I don't like to have people coming after me all the time.
I'm an honest, hard working spirit and don't leave my cemetaries
and haunted houses except to visit my old haunts such as Samford
and Broun.
Then what happens but a guy
named Cook starts rallying all
the local citizens at the stadium
and yells such bloodthirsty calls
that it's enuf to wake the dead
. . . of, pardon me.
You might be interested in
my sad tale, but I doubt it. I
graduated with the class of '76
and worked as a graduate stu­dent
instructor at $10 a month
for two years. Then I decided to
work for a living. I asked Mon­santo
for a job but they said
that they had enuf engineers
working in their stockroom.
Tried DuPont but he said his
daughter was already married.
And every other employer told
me that I couldn't work for them
without experience so I should
go out and get some but Wool-worth
was all sold out.
For years I wandered around
the country looking for work
with no communication with my
friends except for an occasional
letter from the alumni associa­tion
asking for dues. There was
only one honorable way out . . .
hari kari.
So my soul and corpus delecti
said buenos voyage' or some such
German expression and I hitch­hiked
up to the pearly gates. But
what happens up there but the
gatekeeper says that some char­acters
back on earth are holler­ing
for the Auburn spirit which
must be me so I can't get into
heaven because of the extradition
laws.
Ordinarily this wouldn't make
me mad but the class of '76 is
having a reunion this year up
thar. The boys intend to raise
the devil or whatever folks do

The Auburn Knights are Back! After three years of retirement,
they have staged a wonderful comeback with Shell Toomer direct­ing
and managing the business.
I dragged Mr. Toomer's son, Sheldon, away from his beloved
soda jerking, to tell me the history and the future of the orchestra.
Seems to beeee thees way . . . —
ing, and since his departure has
worked for his father, here in our
Loveliest Village.
When I asked what his favorite
kind of music was he merely
said, "There is a place for all
kinds." That was a nice general
statement and t'will make no­body
mad.
If anyone cares to know if this
SAE man plans to make music
his career the answer is "NO . . .
a nice hobby, but a hard way to
make a living . . ."
Back in the olden days of 1928,
some boys musically inclined
(and otherwise) decided to have
an orchestra to drum up jazz for
the local formals. The band with­stood
many hardships and gave
forth with some solid jive, but
in 1943 the break came.
When the army called to the
Knights, they decided to sell
their instruments and bus, de­posit
the money, and return af­ter
the war, and restart their
famous band.
Since s i x of the pre - war
Knights had finished their courses
in pre-law, pre-med, etc. they
went to the University of Ala­bama,
and started an orchestra
directed by and named for Bob­by
Adair.
Six Back
The other six pre-war Knights
came back to Auburn. They are
"Chunky" Barnes, Bobby Hill,
Charlie Wood, "Pete" Petrey, Joe
Mitchell, and Sheldon Toomer.
Music style had changed a
great deal in the three years that
the band was separated; so to
keep with the trend more pieces
had to be added. Now the total
members number fifteen.
Most people are wondering if
the good ole Knight arrange­ments
will still be had by said
band. The answer is YES!!
Kay Montgomery, who ar­ranged
for the band before the
war, is sending arrangements
from Chicago where he is a stu­dent
in Political Science.
Martha Lambert has affiliated
with the Knights, since their re­organization.
Her warblings have
been heard many times with the
local bands in her home town,
Birmingham. "Chunky" Barnes
is doing the male vocal honors.
This is an added job.
Famous Alumni
Some of the more famous alum­ni
of the Auburn Knights are:
Gerald Yelverton who was play­ing
with Glenn Miller, Bobby
Byrne, who is now working for
CBS in New York, Stan Kenton
is proud to' have Jimmy Simms,
Irby Greene has gone far playing
with both Jan Savitt and Frankie
Carle. Kay Montgomery, who is
still with the band has arranged
for Skinny Ennis and Anson
Weeks.
Now that we have hurdled the
statistics of the Auburn Knights,

Q. How long is a second?
A. Sometimes it's 3% YEARS
One second is not always one-sixtieth of a minute — not in tele­phone
mathematics. Suppose, for example, you find a new method
that clips just one second from the time it takes to process a toll
ticket. Then apply that saving throughout the Bell System where
some 115,000,000 toll tickets are handled a month. The time saved
every thirty days equals 3% years!
Important? From seemingly minor changes or savings frequently
come the major improvements which mean better working conditions
for telephone men and women and better telephone service for
everyone.
In this industry, even long established methods of operation are
never considered beyond improvement. For men with ideas and
ability, that viewpoint is a stimulating challenge.

Twenty Children of Veterans Find
Place to Learn While Dads at API
By Frances Mulherin and Anne Cofield
A. P. I. now has a nursery school for veterans' children. Located
just to the side of the Quadrangle, between Dorm 3 and 4, this
nursery, conducted by Mrs. Ruth. D. Morley and Miss Mary Nell
Summers, cares for 20 children from 2 to 4 years old between the
hours of 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.
This is quite a help to those
veterans' wives who work—and
many of them -do because it is
next to impossible to make ends
meet on the G.I. Bill allowance,
particularly with a family. The
larger the family, the more neces­sary
it is for the wife to work in
order that there be enough to
adequately support the family.
However, her problem would be
to find a capable person to look
after the children while she
works. This, of course, is im­possible,
as anyone would know
who has tried to find such help
and pay for it, too (unless the

a millionaire).
Here is where the nursery
school steps in and takes over.
The children are trained in mus­cular
co-ordination, s o c i a l co­operation,
personal cleanliness,
healthful eating habits and self
control. Such training is very im­portant
at this early age in order
that the children grow up to be
useful members of society and
good all-around people. Many shy
children have be'en greatly ben­efitted
by this group association,
and have gained a confidence in
themselves which can never be
taken away from them.
When the children arrive in the
morning, they are greeted by one
of the workers and led into a
large room where other children
are playing. Free play is allowed
until ten o'clock; then tomato
juice is served and the children
are taken outdoors for play until
11:30. All toys and equipment are
designed to develop strength as
well as to afford pleasure. A rest
period is observed until dinner
time, when a well-balanced • meal
is served. After dinner, all the
children take a nap in the sleep­ing
room; then play until 3
o'clock when their parents call
for them.
The nursery is run on a co­operation
basis with each family
paying a minimum per day to
have the children cared for. The
only objection to this nursery is
that it just isn't large enough.
With over a thousand married
veterans at A.P.I., and with a
waiting list of about 300 to 400
children to be admitted to the
nursery school, one can see that
the proportion being cared for is
rather small. Perhaps, in time, a
larger and more .modern school
can be built which will accommo­date
all applicants.

NAVAL RESERVISTS
OFFERED CRUISES
More than 45,000 veterans in
the eight-state Eighth Naval Dis­trict
were being asked today if
they desire to return to sea for
a training cruise during Janu­ary,
Feburary, or March with the
Naval Reserve.
The 14-day cruises, first post­war

organizations, will possibly af­ford
shore liberty in ports in Cu­ba,
Mexico, Central America, and
South America, Capt. Arthur A.

VA Manager Lauds
Gl Bill Trainees
M. E. Head, Alabama Regional
Manager of the Veterans Admin­istration,
Montgomery, t o d ay
praised the work of World War
II veterans who are in college or
school under provision of the
G.I. Bill.
The VA Manager's statement
followed an inspection trip to
Veterans Administration offices
in the southern part of the state.
This itinerary included Troy,
Dothan, Andalusia, Brewton, Mo­bile,
Jackson, Demopolis, Selma,
Tuscaloosa and Auburn.
" V e t e r a n s in colleges and
schools are doing superior work,"
Mr. Head said. "They are eager
to learn and are setting a fine
example for younger, non-veteran
students. School administrators
tell me that they are bringing to
education substance gained from
a world-wide experience in the
business of war.
"Most Alabama colleges have
doubled their capacity. They still
need to expand to meet the
needs of veterans qualified for
college work."
Touching on on-the-job train­ing
under provisions of the G.I.
Bill, the VA Manager added that
this type of training "for the most
part is in good shape." "Several
cases of exploitation have been
found," he added, "but these are
in the minority. Such cases are
being discontinued as soon as dis­covered."
"A considerable number of
cases of on-the-job training were
being carried as receiving related
instruction for which a tuition
was paid when, in fact, no such
training was being provided," Mr.
Head said. "These conditions are
also being corrected by discon­tinuing
payments to the state.
Overpayments will be collected.

By Bill Dearman
Inexperience cost the Tigers dearly Saturday as they bowed to
the Tech Yellowjackets 27 to 6. The superior line play of the Tigers
was one of the outstanding suprises of the game. The Auburn line
stopped the featured running attack of Tech and opened great gap­ing
holes in the Yellowjacket line for the Tiger backs.

47 and marched steadily down-field,
and climaxed the march
with an off tackle dash to score.
The lone Tiger tally was also set
up in the first quarter when Tid-well's
kick rolled dead on Tech's
1 yard line. Following the Tech
kick, Auburn marched downfield
to the 4 yard line where Tidwell
fired a bullet pass to McClurkin
for the score. McDaniel's kick was
blocked.
Tidwell was clearly the best
back on the field. His bullet pass­es
and hard running constantly
gave the Tech defense trouble.
Fleet footed Billy Ball and "Bull"
Inman came in for their share of
glory as the Tiger backs racked
up 16 first downs to Tech's 6. Had
the Tigers receivers been able to
hang onto Tidwell's bullet passes
more consistently, the Auburn
gains through the air would have
changed the score considerably.

Tech's three other tallies came
via the aerial way. Tech's flea
circus sucked in the inexperienc­ed
Auburn backs and an open
receiver was all Broyles needed
for another Tech touchdown.
Following the game, the Au­burn
team drew high praise from
Coach Bobby Dodd of the Yellow-
Jackets, who stated that Tidwell
was one of the best backs that he
seen in action this year. All the
leading sports writers gave high
praise to the fighting qualities of
the Tiger team and one writer ex­pressed
the opinion of the entire
crowd when he stated "Tech was
exceedingly lucky to win".
Picking The Bones
With Bill Dearman
OPELIKA
Auburn won a moral victory at
Atlanta Saturday. The Tigers
proved to the satisfaction of all
concerned that they could trade
blows with the best in the con­ference
and still do OK. In stop­ping
the vaunted Tech attack,
the Tigers served notice that next
year they will be the class of the
conference. Tidwell clearly was
the outstanding player on the
field, but Auburn's excellent line
play was the greatest surprise to
all concerned.

Georgia really poured on the
coal in downing Furman 70 to 7.
Georgia should be about ripe for
a big letdown soon. We would
like to take time out here to re­mind
the Bulldogs of a little in­cident
that happened back ' in
1942 and we aren't saying that
the Tigers won't do it again.
Teedie Faulk is soon going to
have his hands full. Besides be­ing
a great football player, and
a papa, he is going to branch out
into the business world. His sand­wich
stand will open soon. He
says that he might run a contest
and let the students name it.
How about " T i g e r Tidbits"
Teedie?
Few people know it but "Bull"
Inman has a little brother play­ing
for the Tigers. Tom has been
picked as one of the more promis­ing
members of the "Bee" team.
We would like to pass along
what is probably the worst gag
of the century. A Columbia Uni­versity
football scrub after four
seasons of hard work was quoted
as saying "Long time no C".
As the season goes on, my ac­curacy
is picking the winners
each week seems to be getting
worse and worse. But you just
can't keep me from trying, so
here I go again this week.
Auburn over Vanderbilt (The
Commodores have lost all their
games this season with teams
with good aerial attacks, who says
we aren't good in the air?) Geor­gia
over Alabama. (Flipped a coin
to decide this) Duke over Ga.
Tech. (another coin flipped) Ken­tucky

Norton Races IOI Yards
For First Tiger Tally
Coach Dan McMullen's Baby Tigers' unleashed a powerful run­ning
attack to hand the Mississippi State "Bee" team a 14 to 6 licking
at Gadsden Saturday night.
After Mississippi State had driven deep into Auburn's territory
Clarence Norton, Tiger left halfback, grabbed a Mississippi State
pass in his own end zone and raced up field 101 yards for the first
Tiger Tally. Reginald Revis' kick was good.
Auburn's second tally was set
Billy (The Kid) Ball, the mighty-mite from Winston-Salem,
N. C„ is one of Voyles' versatile ball handlers. This 157 halfback
is also a sprinter and pole vauller. and can play a trumpet with
the best of 'em.

Georgia Bees Play
Auburn in Orlando
It will be a resourceful Auburn
"B" team that meets the Georgia
Bees in Orlando next Saturday,
night. The Tiger Bees bowed to
Georgia, 26-13, in their first meet­ing
and are confident of evening
the count in the return engage­ment.
For the second clash with Geor­gia,
Coach Dan McMullen will
make several changes in Auburn's
starting lineup. Very likely he
will let Arnold Fagen and W. R.
Goode man the flanks, Chester
Kline and Harold Wise the tack­les,
Bob Gentry and Jack Morley
the guards, Walter Sadlick is the
top choice to start at center.
John McHenry, quarterback
up late in the game when Auburn
drove deep into Mississippi State
territory and Creson Briggs sliced
off tackle for the touchdown.
Revis' kick was good.
Conder Ray played an out­standing
game for Mississippi
State. His alert play cut short
several long Auburn gains and
his heads-up play continually
broke up Auburn's aerial game.
The Baby Tigers will next be
seen -in a return engagement
against the Georgia "Bee" team
after losing the first tilt, 27-13.
Charlie Fulmer, freshman
guard, has been attracting the
coaches' praise despite his in­experience.
An extra point
placement artist, he is one of
the most aggressive linemen in
the Tiger squad.
Snell Kicks
Only two of 35 tries for the
extra point from placement were
missed by Auburn's Denvard
Snell, junior tackle from Dothan,
during his fine high school career.
He played at Dothan under a
former Alabama star, Rip Hewes.
Creson Briggs and John Gilliam,
halfbacks, and Al Reeser or Clar-age
Irby, fullback, will man the
backfield.

Page Eight THE P L A I N S M AN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1946
From the Plains
V By Richard Bjurberg
On Nov. 5, the voters of the
nation again go to the polls to
select 435 Representatives in the
House of Congress and about
one-third of the members in the
Senate. Many political observers
feel that this year will see the
return of the Republican Party
to the control of the House of
Representatives. Some Republi
can optimists claim that the party
will sweep into control of the
Senate. However, the more con­servative
and cool headed onlook­ers
claim that the G.O.P. has an
outside chance of winning the
Senate, but the possibilities are
sb'ght. •
In Alabama, the people will go
to the polls to make their selec­tions
for state officials as well as
congressional choices. To add to
the interest in Alabama will be
the voting for approval or disap­proval
of nine amendments to
the State Constitution — among
them the controversial Boswell
amendment.
Aside from local issues in the
State elections, many dopesters
are peering into the national
scene. In the South, there are
122 congressional districts and
according to the Gallup Poll only
five of these districts went to Re­publicans
after the 1944 election.
The Poll points out that this year
the Republican Party is running
nominees in 61 of these districts
and that the Republican interest
in voting in southern election dis­tricts
has increased- by five per
cent over 1944. However, with all
these statistics, we believe that
the, Democrats will undoubtedly
capture at least the 117 seats
they now hold in the South.
What about the rest of the na­tion?
The Republicans today hold
192 seats in the House against
the Democrats 214. If the G.O.P.
party can win 26 additional seats
in the 1946 election, they will con­trol
218 seats in the House—which
will be a definite majority. Can
they succeed? According to the
recent Gallup Poll, the Republi­cans
are showing a greater inter­est
and intention in voting then
the Democrats.
Perhaps the election will large­ly
depend on the independent
vote. According to a published
Gallup Poll in the Birmingham
News of Oct. 20, 1946, the In­dependent
vote would divide "59
per cent in favor of the Republi­can,
41 per cent in favor of the
Democrat" if the congressional
elections had been held at that
0
time.
It is not the policy of this col­umn
to make predictions and we
do not intend to start. Neverthe­less,
we feel that it is safe to say
that the outcome of the national
elections will largely depend on
the attitude of the Independent
voters in the urban sections of
our nation. For this reason, we
feel that no accurate prediction
is possible until these voters have
made up their minds and in many
cases that will not "be until they
vote next Tuesday.
Why is the. Republican Party's
strength growing? The Democrats
have lost the confidence of the
nation, in the eyes of many, be­cause
of the recent meat famine
and it's pro-union policy. The
year's strikes and rising prices
haven't helped the Democratic
Party any. Some of the Demo­cratic
stalwarts, Henry Wallace
and Harold Ickes, have leveled
heavy guns of criticism against
President Truman. Mr. John L.
Lewis promises to embarrass the
administration with a threatened
coal strike five days before elec­tion
time. Even Mr. Truman's
foreign policy has undergone
tremendous lashing from some
quarters in the Democratic Party.
Taking advantage of this dis­cord
in the ranks of the Demo­crats,
the Republicans are out to
capture what political "plums"
they can with a view to the Pres­idential
election in 1948.
