Auburn Debate Council Calls For New
Talent; Plans For Nationwide Tourneys
New England And West Coast Trips
Are Being Scheduled For Itinerary
The Auburn Debate Council,
under the direction of Prof. Dick
Bjurberg of the history depart­ment,
is making an all-out effort
to secure new talent for future
debates.*Kinne Sutton, recently
elected president, has expressed a
desire for girls, girls, girls! He
says that Auburn is the only coed
school he knows of that doesn't
have a girl's debating squad.
Another weakness or the Coun­cil
in the past, says Sutton, has
been its lack of four-year stu­dents.
Usual membership has
come from the ranks of pre-law
students, who finish at Auburn af­ter
two years. He extends an ear­nest
appeal to four-year students
interested in debating to join the
Council. "Debating is extremely
interesting and educational." he
asserts.
The Council, after a state of
dormancy during the war years,
is practically s t a r t i n g from
scratch. Prof. Bjurberg is con­ducting
a class called Argument
and Debate with an eye toward
stimulating interest and teaching
the fundamentals of debating.
Sutton, revealing plans for fu­ture
operations, said: "We're go­ing
to make trips all over the
United States, including the West.
Coast and New England. These
trips will be open to members
who show the most interest and
ability."
Next quarter the Council is
sponsoring an Intramural Debate
Contest. Three cups will be
awarded; one to the winning frat­ernity;
one to the winning sorori­ty;
and one to the winning in­dependent
group. The latter tro­phy
will be placed in Student
Center in a trophy case with
name and year of participants
engraved. Three-time winners of
fraternity and sorority cups will
keep theirs permanently.
On December 5, the council
will send a four-man debating
team to the Dixie Tournament in
Jackson, Miss. In Fcbruray, rep­resentatives
will go-to the Azalea
Tournament at Spring Hill Col­lege
in Mobile. In March, Coun­cil
members will attend the
Southern Tournament in Nash­ville,
Tenn. The four Auburn de­baters
who recently won at the
University of Alabama Discusion
Tournament will attend the Na­tional
Discussion Tournament at
Bloomington, Ind., from April 22
to 24. The national tournament
is to be sponsored by the Uni­versity
of Indiana and Tau Kap­pa
Alpha, national honorary de­bating
frratenity.
The Quarterly Speech Contest
will be held at Auburn in Decem­ber.
The Debate Council will
assist Tau Kappa Alpha in spon­soring
this contest.
At the recent election, Maury
Smith was selected as vice-presi­dent
and Richard Stone as secre­tary-
treasurer.
Molly and* Polly;
Winn and Quinn!
The third floor of Auburn
Hall is pretty confused these
days. Molly and Polly room
together, and only a couple of
doors away lives Dolly. Across
the hall from Polly Herring
lives Gloria Herring. Down the
hall from Molly Winn lives
Robby Quinn. Annette and Ja­net
Moore, no relation, share
the same room. It's nothing un­usual
to see half a dozen heads
pop out when the buzzer rings.

'Intend to Stay', Voyles Says
)
Coach Carl Voyles stated flat­ly
Thursday afternoon, in a state­ment
to Lee County Bulletin edi­tor
Neil Davis, that he intends to
fill the t e r m s of his contract
which give him nearly two and a
half years more as director of
athletics and physical education
at Auburn.
Queried as to rumors that he
was to be relieved of his position
here shortly alter the Clemson-
Auburn football game Saturday.
Voyles said "I know nothing about
this whole business except what 1
have read in the papers."
Continuing, he said: "I came
here April 15, 1944 with a six-year
contract. I intend lo stay
the full six years. No official of
the college has suggested that I
resign, nor has anyone said any­thing
about buying my contract."
In his full statement, Coach
Voyles said he had "no apologies
to make." He said his team this
year had experienced "more than
its share of tough luck."
"First, of course, there was
Tidwell's injury," he said. "Then
our first three fullbacks were
hurt.'Ray Williams, our best pass
receiver, has been out over 'half
the season on" account of injuries.
His substitute, Ralph Pyburn, was
also hurt. Despite these injuries
to two good ends, the scarcity of
fullbacks necessitated moving Bill
Waddail from end to fullback,
where he now is operating on the
starting team.
"We are woefully short on ex­perience,"
V o y l e s continued.
"There are no seniors on the
squad. We have only five juniors
and alt, the rest are sophomores
and freshmen. We haven't played
a team this year that didn't have
more experience than we did.
"I believe our sophomores are
as good as any team in the coun­try.
As a junior team they can
hold their own w ith any team in
the conference, barring injuries to
key players.
* * *
"Some of the alumni have said
the boys are not for me. I believe
they are with me 100 per cent.
"This is the first year I've had
the same group of boys who were
here the year before. I hate lo
have brought them this far, get
them ready lo go, and then see
somebody else come along and
capitalize on it.
"I am a faculty member in
good standing, with the rank of
full professor, and hold member­ship
in the American Association
of University Professors. I intend
to continue here serving under
the full terms of my contract," lie
concluded.

all the features of the larger
standard ring but is proportioned
much smaller.

'WSSF DRIVE IS GREAT
SUCCESS; SAYS KOHN
The World Student Service
Fund drive, recently completed,
was a big success, reported Her­bert
Kohn. co-chairman of the
drive.
"Although donations are still
coming in and will be accepted
for an unlimited time, approxi­mately
$750.00 has been contri­buted
by students and faculty
members," Kohn said.
Kohn, who has spent nine
years in Europe and knows 6f
the conditions which exist there,
had this to say in regard to the
local WSSF drive:
"The student body and faculty
have shown splendid coopera­tion,
and the interest in world
affairs seems to be increasing
on this campus. In this atomic
age it is simply impossible for
good American citizens to move
in their own small ch'cles.
"We at Auburn are good
Americans, and we have shown
that we do have consideration
for the world around us.
"The World Student Service
Fund Drive takes place in all
American universities and col­leges
and has been successful in
most of them. We can be proud
of the fact that Auburn has also
done a part in the rehabilitation
and reconstruction of the world.
This year we have laid a good
foundation. Let us resolve to
make next year's WSSF drive
bigger and beter.
"The WSSF committee and the
Auburn Inter-Faith Council
wish to thank everybody who
has helped put this year's drive
over. The following organizations
were especially helpful in their
splendid support: Student Execu­tive
Cabinet, Student Affairs Of­fice,
Pan-Hellenic Council, Art
Guild. Blue Key, Cardinal Key,
Sphinx, Oracles, Squires, The
Plainsman, IRC, AVA, AIO, Wes­ley
F o u n d a t i o n , Canterbury
Club, Baptist Student Group,
Wesminister Group, and Newman
Club.

"The Man With the Tape"
Prof. Grady H. Saunders is
comparatively new in the electri­cal
engineering department. He
instructs principally in communi­cations
subjects; however, some
of the boys in the power option
will become acquainted with him
through the medium of a.c. cir­cuits.
Prof. Saunders entered Auburn
in 1940 and received his B. S. in
EE here in 1943. While in college,
he had little time for extracur­ricular
activities since it was
necesary that he find a job to
help defray his expenses.
After graduation, Prof. Saun­ders
worked in the Naval Re­search
Laboratories in Washing­ton,
D. C. He started work there
in March .1943 and left in July
1946 to return to Auburn as an
instructor in the EE department.
While with the Naval Research
Laboratories. Prof. Saunders was
connected with the transmitter
division although, by his own ad­mission,
he was more interested
in receivers. At this time he took
some correspondence courses in
wave propagation and math from
the University of Maryland and
MIT.
Prof. Saunders has varied in­terests,
but at the present he has
little time to pursue his hobbies
because of his teaching duties.
At the present he is concerned
most with the Radio Club here
at Auburn. Prof. Saunders is the
faculty advisor for the Radio
Club, but he hasn't obtained his
ham license yet due to a lack of
time to become proficient in
code.
A warning to those students
who haven't had a class under
Prof. Saunders yet: don't be
startled by his ambidexterity; he
really does keep both hands on
the same problem all the time!

Charlie Wilcox, engineer with
the Continental Gin Co., Birming­ham,
presented a talk and sound
film on The Story of Mehanite
at the Nov. 17th meeting of
ASME. Mehanite, a relatively
new ferrous metal, combines the
desirable qualities of cast iron
and steel for casting purposes,
particularly for massive castings,
and falls between cast iron and
steel on the metallurgical scale.
This metal, originally developed
by the Mehanite Corp., New
Rochelle, N. Y., is produced, cast,
and further studied by the engi­neers
of over 40 U. S. foundries,
and as many other foundries
overseas, principally in the
British Commonwealth of Na­tions.
The uniform quality and
increased strength of this metal,
as compared with ordinary good
cast iron, permits savings in de­sign
and new applications of cast
ferrous metal. Copies of a com­plete,
factual handbook on me­hanite
were given to each stu­dent
at the meeting. Mr. Wilcox
also announced that he intended
to interview applicants for em­ployment
with the Continental-
Gin Co. engineering department.

KAPPA SIGS HOLD
'GANGSTER' PARTY
If an unsuspecting stranger had
walked into the Kappa Sigma
House Friday night he might have
well thought that he had dis­covered
the hideout of the gang­ster
underworld's most infamous
characters. They were all there
from Dillinger to the more recent
"Mumbles". The sinster occasion
was Kappa Sigma's "Gangster
Reunion".
Each member came dressed as
his favorite gangster character
while his date was dressed as his
"moll". The house was appropri­ately
decorated as an authentic
replica of an old time speakeasy.
On the wall, in full view of all,
was a complete and up to date
Rogues' Gallery of the chapter's
most desperate desperadoes and
their molls.
One of the most outstanding
features of the evening was a
rendition by the original "Mum­bles
Quartette", composed of L.
W. Johnson, Boots Stephenson,
Kinne Sutton, and Wallace John­son.
During the b r i e f intervals,
when the bodies which had fallen
as a result of the many gang wars
were cleared from the floor, the
desperadoes danced.
Several prizes were awarded
during the evening. Winners of
the Check List, determining the
best sleuth, were Margaret Ann
Norwood and Ray Fredrick; best
gangsters were Virginia Glasscock
and Kinne Sutton; closest dancer
was Jane Ashford, biggest feet,
John Hodge; and winner of a
guessing game was V i r g i n ia
Glasscock.
During the evening a message
was received from the Office of
National Defense promoting "Col­onel"
Hal Sizemore to General.

Auburn Knights Emerge 3-1 Winner in 'Battle

Auburn Hall Freshmen Swoon
And Dance to Cole's Crooning
By Janet Moore
Many a freshman swooned to
the crooning of the local Sinatra,
Bill Cole, Friday night as the Jes­ters
furnished music for the first
big Auburn Hall dance of the
quarter.
The Student Ac building was a
scene of gaiety and colorful de­corations
as the Jesters, a seven-piece
combo from the Auburn
Plainsman orchestra, presented a
special arrangement of "The Isle
of Capri" along with some soft,
dreamy numbers, hot jive, and
rhumbas.
Many students faced a cold
drizzle on the way to the dance
but the hot music soon had every­one
in a mellow mood. Decora­tions
consisted of beautifully
colored leaves from some of the
campus trees, placed along the
edge of the stage. Huge leters,
spelling , "Auburn Hall'' hung
along the edge of the stage. Cokes
were served at intermision.

evening, a new type dance was
introduced. It is called the
"whistle dance." When the mis­tress
of ceremonies blew a
whistle, all couple had to swap
partners. Another dance employed
met with favorable comment.
When a girl wished to change
partners, she said "hodge-podge",
then picked out another hand­some
partner and continued the
dance. Many agreed that more
dances of this type should be
given so that more students
would have a chance to meet each
other.
A special midnight permission
was granted to Auburn Hall
freshmen. There were a few
sleepy-eyed girls on the campus
Saturday morning, but they all
had the satisfaction of knowing
that Auburn Hall girls have the
"mostest fun."

Development of dyes requires
both physical and organic chemistry
ducibility and storage stability. A sig­nificant
Du Pont contribution to the
production of vat dyes in optimum
physical form is called "turbulent flow
drowning." In this procedure, the color
is dissolved in strong H0SO4 and then
diluted by a large volume of water in a
constricted tube. High turbulence is
maintained during dilution and pro­duces
uniform dye particles.
In this development the work of
physical chemists and physicists, aided
by electron microscopy, ultra-centri-fuging,
infrared and ultra-violet spec­trometry
and other modern techniques,
was of major importance.

The synthesis of a new dye in the labo­ratory
or even the development of a
manufacturing process from that syn­thesis
may still be a long way from the
realization of the full potentialities of
the new compound as a coloring mate­rial.
This is illustrated by the commer­cial
history of the exceedingly fast
bright blue dye indanthrone and its
halogen derivatives.
Indanthrone was the first known an-thraquinone
vat dye and has led ton­nage
sales of vat dyes in the U.S. since
its introduction, despite the commer­cial
use of well over 200 types. In 1901,
Bohn first synthesized indanthrone by
KOH fusion of 2-aminoanthraquinone,
but the yields obtained were in the
range of only 25-30 per cent. Because
of the industrial importance of indan­throne,
and the low commercial yields
obtained by the original fusion pro­cedure,
a great deal of research time
has been spent in its study.
Several U.S. patents record the fact
that Du Pont organic chemists have
made outstanding contributions in this
field, particularly by developing the
intercondensation of 2 moles of 1,3-di-bromo-
2-aminoanthraquinone and re­placing
the hromine by chlorination to
give 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone ("Pon-sol"
Blue).

This fixes the chlorine in the desired
positions to give a product with greater
bleach-fastness than indanthrone and
minimizes extraneous substitution that
always accompanies direct chlorination
of indanthrone. The commercial yields
of 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone now being
obtained by Du Pont are markedly
greater than those obtained by Bohn
and his workers.
It is just as important, however, that
a water-soluble dye be made in a phys­ical
form that gives optimum shade and
working qualities, such as perfect dis­persion,
freedom from specks, rapid re-

The conversion of laboratory findings

Thanksgiving
The magic touch of fall has pressed in
from wherever fall presses in from. Win­ter,
which usually comes after fall, is giv­ing
us a slight preview of coming attrac­tions.
The nippy air of the mornings
makes us hug the sack tighter and swear
we're going to schedule nothing but after­noon
classes next quarter. Registration is
upon us again, and we wonder if it has
really been three months since our last
registration date. We think about term
papers and shudder; then promptly forget
them again. As usual, the radios have be­gun
playing Christmas songs earlier than
last year. And Thanksgiving, traditional
day of prayer and overeating, is here.
On this, the third Thanksgiving season
since the war, we gaze in retrospection at
our blessings. Most of us are eating well;
most of us have a warm place to sleep. Our
troubles, though numerous, usually have a
solution. We can truly be thankful for
those things.
We can be thankful we do not live un­der
the rule of power-mad politicians? .as
do the oppressed people of some nations.
Although the problem of world peace is
yet to be solved, we can be thankful for
the men who are trying. There are people
in the world today who would offer thanks
for a handful of rice; surely we can offer
thanks for a turkey dinner.
The Pilgrim Fathers who instituted
Thanksgiving laid the foundations for
every succeeding Thanksgiving Day by
their insistence on freedom. As we com­pare
our way of life with that of other
countries, we look with increased rever­ence
at those truly great men of the past.
We can be thankful for their foresight;
their warmncss; their precious gift of
liberty.
This season there still remain forces at
work in the world which would prevent
our nation, and all nations, from enjoying
Thanksgiving in the future. As we offer
our prayers, we should remember to pray
for the continuance of our own ideals
and our own pursuit of happiness.
We have gazed in retrospection upon
our blessings and find them good. Let us
giv thanks to God.
Stair Traffic
Students have been complaining recent­ly
about the traffic jams taking place in
the halls of some of the classroom build­ings,
especially Samford and New Build­ing.
Many of the jams arc caused by un­thinking
students using the stairs and
landings as a bctween-classes social cen­ter.
And when the exits are particularly in­adequate,
as in the case of the New Build­ing,
these thoughtless little tcte-a-tetes
have an annoying consequence. They make
people late for class.
So with a little foresight in choosing a
place for that chat with a friend, the
stairs and landings can be left open for
those sudents in a hurry. The people who
have to make that long dash to Ag or Vet
Hill will appreciate it no end.
The time allotted for the purpose of
changing classes is sufficient in most cases.
Let's all cooperate and we can get to class
on time.
With the influx of 7200 students on the
campus there has been noted an increase
in the amount of disturbing noise.
Dr. David Mullins, head of instruction,
has been receiving numerous complaints
from faculty members concerning the in­creases
in this disturbing influence in class
instruction.
It is to the advantage of all students
and faculty members that noise be kept
down to a level which permits efficient
conduct of classes.
The increase in noise about the campus
is probably due to the increasing number
of motor scooter's and motor bikes.
In many colleges in the country, these
vehicles are forbidden on the campus, and
we should feel fortunate that they are al­lowed
on our campus.
It wouldn't take too much effort on the
part of the owners of these vehicles to
roll them away from the immediate vi­cinity
of classroom buildings before start­ing
the motor.
Another way to cut down the noise level
is for automobile owners to keep away
from the horn button. It is a temptation
to lean on the button when trying to at­tract
someone's attention, but discreet use
of this noise-maker will be for the mutual
benefit of all concerned.
So please be considerate of those in the
classroom the next time you get the urge
to let go with some "sound and fury."
Mitch-hiking Manners
Hitch-hiking manners have long been a
part of Auburn's unlimited supply of tra­dition.
Auburn men have thumbed rides since
the world-shaking invention of the rubber-tired
carriage, or since the founding of the
institution.
Since Auburn men began hitch-hiking,
they have made for themselves a reputa­tion
as well-mannered, congenial, and safe
for lone travelers to offer a lift.
No stories of A u b u r n ride-catchers
shanghaiing or hi-jacking the people have
ever been heard. On the contrary, people
who pick up Auburn students have often
expressed their amazement that college
boys could be so courteous. Auburn hitch­hiking
manners have become a sure "rule
of thumb."
Let's keep it that way.
Cheering Squad
The cheering squad and the pep commit­tee
are certainly in line for praise for the
splendid job they've done in helping re­vive
the supposedly dormant A u b u rn
Spirit.
In spite of many adverse conditions, they
.have given the college pep rallies to be
proud of. The Birmingham parade, orange
shirts, the bulldog baking, and many other
events staged by the committee are un-,
equaled by any other school in the con­ference.
It hasn't all been roses. There have been
times when, despite all their urging, there
were only a handful of students at the
rallies, but those were offset by the many
rallies that packed the Stadium.
Through it all the cheerleaders have
been on hand, cheering the team, win or
lose, with the same vigor.
Don't Miss It!
Auburn students will be exposed to a
different type of humor from December
2-5.
To those freshmen who have never seen
an 'A" Club initiation, we can only say—
don't miss it. Those of you who have seen
them don't have to be told.
The committee in charge of the initiation
is made up of such outstanding athletes
as: Ray Williams. Travis Tidwell, Don
Harper, John Liptak and Max Autrey.
Final plans for the initiation are being
brewed and will be presented to the "A"
Club Monday night, Dec. 1, when they
meet with all prospective members in the
"A" Club room in the field house.
Do-Nuts and Coffee By Bobs RAMBLING
The Plastic Tower By Ralph Jennings
There is a'danger of the "military mentality" permeating
the entire governmental structure of the United States. In­advertantly,
military men have gone into the State Depart­ment
and other branches of government. Now, former gen­erals
such as Wainwrigrrt, plan to run for Congress, and there
is a rising tide of "Eisenhower for President." Marshall and
MacArthur are also figured
prominently in national politics.
We have had a few instances
in U. S. history when former
military men went into politics
after their military careers had
reached their apex. With the ex­ception
of George Washington,
these men have failed miserably
and ignominiously. U. S. Grant
is the shining example.
The United States is by tradi­tion
a civilian republic. That is,
it has always been governed by
civilians. It is against everything
that our country stands for to
have a military man in any im­portant
post of government.
In the first place, the former
general or admiral does not think
in terms of freedom of speech,
equal opportunity, and all of the
many other fundamentals of de­mocracy.
By nature and training,
the military mind is opposed to
everything that is democratic.
But despite all of the dire fore­bodings,
as Constantine Brown
says, "The influence of the 'mili­tary
mind' is slowly but surely
making itself felt in the Ameri­can
government." If Americans
continue to ignore the possibili­ties
of a military "infiltration,"
there will be disastrous conse­quences.
Mr. Brown said further
that "a new form of censorship
at the source is contemplated. If
put into effect, it will be applied
to the entire civilian government.
It will tend to squelch criticism
of the government and also will
set off a chain reaction of dis­belief
throughout the country in
what the government does say."
During the war, the military
flagrantly violated all principles
of freedom of the press, even
when the information desired by
the public did not concern tacti­cal
information. Concerning this,
Mr. Brown said, "Sooner or later
the 'military minds' in our gov­ernment
must discover that the
Bill of Rights really means free­dom
ito gather information to
which the people are entitled and
that, in peace-time at least, gov­ernment
must be able to conduct
though ,there has never developed
in the U.S. a Junker military
class as in Germany, there has
developed something with a strik­ing
similarity: "The West Point­ers"
and ' The Annapolis Club."
Only time will decide the niche
that George S. Patton will occu­py
in history. The strategy of
his wastefulness in human lives
is dubious. He will, however, be
its affairs administratively as to
protect really secret information
from leaking out."
Civilians, by nature, are fol­lowing
peaceful pursuits. They
desire the government to be run
by men with similar ideas. Mili­tary
men at the helm of state
could not follow such a pattern.
They are professional soldiers
who have lived by the sword,
whether they admit it or not. It
has been said that "This killing
of theirs was a deep-rooted in­stinct.
And, whether it were ruth- _
less or careful, its fulfillment re­lieved
an appetite that was no
more bestial than any other of
man's cravings for food, drink,
lust or hysterical religion."
It is the military man's bread
and butter to wage war. Even
remembered as the "millionaire's
general" and as the martinet who
slapped an American private who
was convalescing in a hospital.
He will also be remembered for
his famous remark comparing the
American two party system to
that of Nazi Germany. Said he,
"This Nazi situation in some
ways is like the Democratic and
Republican fight back home. You
always finds the 'outs' . . . mak-

BURP By BOYD HINTON

Dear -Mr. Hinton:
Referring to BURP of the Nov.
19, Plainsman, the rabbit and tur­tle
may be assumed to be points
moving along a line at uniform
velocities, the rabbit behind the
turtle, and having the higher
velocity. This set-up means there
will be a uniform relative velo­city
between the rabbit and the
turtle, that is, the distance bet­ween
them decreases at a uniform
rate. If it takes the rabbit one
unit of time to halve the distance
between them, it takes another
half unit of time to halve it again,
and so on, until the length of the
time required to catch the turtle
is the sum of geometric series,
i. e., one plus V-i plus Yt plus Vs
plus 1-16 to an infinite
number of terms, since the prob­lem
said there is always some dis­tance,
and therefore some time
left. But according to the books,
although there arc an infinite
number of terms in the scries, its
sum can never become more than
two. See for yourself.

Thank you Mr. Liles, for your
interest and your letter. You are
quite right in your geometric
series and this has puzled great
minds for a long time. The mathe­matics
department will no doubt
class this as a special case and as
Middlemiss would say, the rest is
obvious. As for when the rabbit
catches the turtle, wham, wham,
your guess is as good as mine. I
heard another story once, con­cerning
this same situation. Seems
like the race was so long that by
the time they got to the finish
line the rabbit had the turtle out-i
numbered.
In reference to your deficiency
in integral calculus, it's high time
you realized that calculus isn't a
subject, it's a state of mind. But
even states can be in utter con­fusion
and the state of calculus
is no exception to the rule.

Bobby Humph­rey,

me that steps
had been taken
to get a new
board. Know­ing
that I had
never read any
publicity about it, I investigated
thoroughly, and found the follow­ing
to be true:
Ollie Williamson, who was the
senior representative to the Cabi­net
last summer was a one-man
committee to investigate the pos­sibilities
of getting one. He ap­proached
the Opelika Coca-Cola
Bottling Company and t h ey
agreed to purchase one for the
school.
Ollie approached them because
they had erected one for Georgia
Tech. I
The Coca-Cola Company stipu­lated
that there had to be a cer­tain
number of home games a
year, and they would erect it
when the new Stadium is comple­ted.
They said they would erect a
sign that was electrically opera­ted,
and would show the score,
downs and yards to go.
Williamson also informed me
that Western Union installs those
electric clocks for only four or
five dollars.
Well, that clears up the ques­tion
of a new scoreboard. Thank
you, Ollie, and I guess that calls

Now that he has the material and
is beginning to organize them into

would you resign?

BOOK REVIEW
By Milch Sharpe
THREE SOLDIERS by John
Dos Passos, Modern Library,
$1.25.
Since Three Soldiers is enjoy­ing
a new popularity and is being
boomed by several book review­ers
it might be well to look over
it. A product of the last war, it
had its greatest audience in the
bewilderment of the twenties and
thirties.
It is stark realism without sex.
And a modern novel about mod­ern
people and without sex ought
to be read for the novelty if for no
other reason. The story concerns
the vicissitudes of several soldiers
during the first world war. The
veterans of the late war would be
surprised at how little the army
has changed in the course of two
wars. Dos Passos drew a wonder­fully
exact picture of life in the
army during that war. And with
only a slight exaggeration of the
officer class, the novel presents
one of the few true pictures of a
modern war and its effect on men. /
The three soldiers Dos Passos
selected to write about represen­ted
three distinct prototypes
found in the army at that time.
Fuselli the well meaning, Sincere
peasant type who honestly be­lieved
the army offered advance­ment
for those who "cooperated".
He strove to do everything just as
the army desired and wound up a
fine picture of disillusioned sold­ier
to whom a PFC stripe was
thrown as compensation. Cris-field
is the man with the abilities
but lacking the intelligence. A
perfect non-com. Better yet, a
perfect corporal. Andrews was the
intellectual who lost himself in

and sought the easy way out . . .

JOE ROLLINS has led SAE
to a league victory for the past
two seasons. Last year he
figured prominently in SAE's
clean sweep and this year he's
on tap to try again for campus
supremacy. Joe has figured in
most of the touchdowns SAE
has scored in the past two years
with his beautiful passing and
running. He sparked SAE to its
league championship this year..
Joe is a junior in EE from
Birmingham. He played at Ram­say,
lettering in '40 and making
All-City in '41. He was also a
member of Auburn's freshman
team in '42. After serving with
the Marines for three years, Joe
returned to the Plains and de­cided
to devote his time to
studies. After graduation, he
plans to attend MIT. in pursuit
of a master's degree. He is mar­ried
and he and his wife reside
.in Auburn.—George Mattison.
One winner SAE, pitted against
PiKA, and SPE. League Three
champs, taking on League Four
titalist. Alpha Psi, in the first
round. The two winners and two
losers will be opponents in the
second round. The two winners
and two losers will ,be opponents
in the second round/ The playoff
will continue on the "two-losses-and

All-Star Game
The All-Star game between the
outstanding players of the inter-fraternity
and independent lea­gues
is scheduled for Thursday
Afternoon, December 4, at 3
o'clock and should be just about
the best thing around then. The
attendance should be large and
Squires, sponsors of the game, are
planning for a big day. The game
will bi? played in Auburn Sta­dium
and admission will be 25
cents. The two teams should be
evenly matched if the compara­tive
play is any indication, the
only headache going to the offi­cials
and team managers who
have the job of picking the teams
from a wealth of stars. Squires
will give a prize to the most out­standing
player. There will be
hot competition for this with all
the flashy material there will be
to pick from. Plan now to come
early and bring a date, get your
ticket from any member of
Squires.

Theta Chi and Sigma Chi Take

Coach Voyles' Secretary Tells Her Own
Story Of Tribulations At Field House
By Mrs. Billie A. Sandlin
"Block and tackle" were not
new words to me when I began
working for the Auburn coaches,
since my first job was a book­keeper
for a hardware company.
Shortly after the starting whis­tle
I discovered they were two
different "boys"; even though
both are essential in getting a job
well-done,.
A coach's lingo is quite baffling
and at times we don't follow the
'same line of thought. Early in the
game I was about to call for a
substitute when I learned that a
bootleg pass, a cross buck and a
naked reverse were far removed
from what I thought they were.
The old sleeper play won't work
on my job; neither will a fake,
but a double reverse and good
hard blocking will get the job
done.
Shares Troubles
My husband and I used to say
I went to a football game for fel­lowship.
But it is quite a differ­ent
story now. The coaches' and
players' troubles are my troubles
and their joys my joys.
When I loqk at the starting
lineup the players are not just
numbers- any more: I know Tom
has a pulled muscle, Dick has a
sore throat, Harry is about to
flunk English 101, and Johnny
can't find'an apartment for his
family.
Planting Season
My first year with the Auburn
Tigers, 1946, was planting season,
and the breaking of new ground.
The fall harvest was very prom-isipg,
but there were still a lot
of building practices to be work­ed
on, some tares to be weeded
out and a little^ rotating to be
done.
Spring came early this year and
the harvest season promised a
bumper crop. Prospects looked
great, and only a 'few withered
by the wayside, but we made one
mistake, —not planting any luck.
On April 26th disaster struck
on the second base of Drake
Field!! Then the rains came and
the wind howled. With no crop
of luck coming along we relied
on pluck, but pluck needed luck
to survive.
The finance company threat­ens
foreclosure, but we have
plenty of pluck left, and, come
spring, we are going to plant the
entire field in luck and .4-leaf
clover.

Femme Filled Farce Fixes
Funny Frolic For February
Genial Jim Watson, showman
par excellence and producer of
"Runnin' Wild" and "Foxhole
Follies", has just begun work on a
a new show. The extravaganza is
called "Harem-Scarem" and will
be sponsored by the American
Red Cross. Billed as a "girlesque"
show, it will feature college ta­lent,
musicians, girls, dancers,
singers, girls, comedians, girls,
tight-rope walkers, sword swal-lowers,
and girls. Thin as a sha-doy
and strong as an ox, Sheik
Jim Watson and his "Harem-Sca­rem"
will be turned loose in
Langdon Hall when the police
department goes on vacation next
February. Any student interested
in taking part in this variety show
should contact. Jim in his cell at
the Delta Sigma Phi house.
Result of Opium Coma
Occasionally Jim goes to the
Monkey Wrench Rest Home,
where loose nuts are treated.
While there he works with two
of his boozum buddies, Napoleon
Bonaparte and Louis XIV. This
trio has created many of the
scenes used in Jim's.past shows,
and they recently went into an
opium trance in search of new
ideas.
However, Jim accidently broke
the stem of his opium pipe while
racing a crippled lady for a seat
on the bus. He went for days just
dying for a smoke.
From the steaming jungles of
northern Alaska to the malaria
infested swamps of Lower Low-cherpoker,
he searched diligently
for the rare and exotic Paralle-liped
plant, from which opium-pipe
stems are made. After find­ing
it he hopped back to Auburn
in the pouch of his pet kangaroo,
"Pogo."
Anyone in the audience who is
injured during "Harem-Scarem"
next quarter will be treated by
the Red Cross.

on the others. Andrews, though
not a widespread army type, was
interesting from the point that
he typified the few who were
like him. He was the man who
because of his superior education
was looked down upon by the less
intelligent officers and completely
unintelligent non-coms. But the
end comes for Andrews as a vic­tim
of the inescapable army jus­tice.
The difference in the army in
the past two wars is so slight that

ing charges against the 'ins.' "
For some reason or other, we
Americans seem to like the idea
of the 'outs' making charges
against the 'ins.' If there were a
military dictatorship in America,
there would be but one trend of
thought tolerated—that of the
government. The jingoists in con­trol
would seek their extreme
brand of nationalism and with it
the l o g i c a l counterpart: war.
Thare would be no objection
because the people w o u l d be
worked into a frenzy. Already,
the huckstering of the "new
army" has begun. The eighteen
year olds would be duped; and,
strange as it may be, there are
some who have a horror of soli­tude
and a repugnance for their
own company, and these most
delight in the military corpora­tion.
But the cost paid by their
innocence is high. When the
moment comes, the fierce mo­ment
of bloody contact, every
man is alone in his own red mist
with his own desperate enemy.
Thomas Mann has always be­lieved
that the peculiar dull si­lence
of old, scarred warriors is
not the silence of sick horror but
the silence of vague emptiness—
the half-shamefaced silence of
men who cannot think of any­thing
to say.
Shakespeare indicted the intel­ligentsia
who send the innocent
to war with this prophetic state­ment
in Henry V: "I am afeard
there are few die well that die in
battle; for how can they chari­tably
dispose of anything when
blood is their argument? Now, if
these men do not die well, it will
be a black matter for the King
that led them to it; whom to dis­obey
were against all proportion
of subjection."
America must be on guard
against all huckstering of the
value of a "strong man." It must
be perpetually on guard against
the need for military leadership
to "combat the advent of Com­munism."
The Twentieth Century is the
century of the common man. Re­gardless
of how overworked the
expression has become, it still
contains a simple truth. A new
era started when the Allies tried
and hanged enemy generals. Per­haps
these men wjll be reluctant
in the future to fall back on the
old saw that "we were merely
carrying out our duties to God
and country." •
America, if it is to survive in
a peaceful world, must stem the
insidious tactics of the military
mind to gain a foothold.
Militarism can lead to nothing
but war. An infiltration of the
military into our government
would be nothing short of de­generacy,
degradation, and fas­cism—
pure and simple.

STUDENT TO BEGIN PRIVATE FUND
FOR LITTLE-KNOWN BENEFACTOR
mc feel a little nostalgic when I tent poles and pins which came
By Mitch Sharpe
Having noticed the absence of
statues and other memorials on t
statues and other memorials on
the campus, I have decided to
start a slush fund of all the
money left over from my monthly
pitance by the VA.
The fund will go into an eques-train
statue of myself to be erec­ted
in front of Samford Hall after
my graduation. An inspiration for
future generations, it will be a
testimony to the generosity of be­nevolent
Mitch Sharpe who furn­ished
raincoats for the student
body during his undergratuate
days.
This winter will make the third
monsoon season running here at
Auburn in which I have INVOL­UNTARILY
distributed an assort­ment
of raincoats to the indigent
of the campus. Last winter, I was
relieved of a peachy little Cana­dian
number which set me back
$25 dollars in Toronto. The win­ter
before, it was a chic little OD
number the QMC had given me.
Now some dry and comfy member
of the student body is flapping
around the campus in a Chester-fieklian
model which I recently
purchased.
It isn't that I really mind sup­plying
these necessary articles of
wet-weather wear to those less
fortunate and more light fingered
than myself. But it just makes
see diverse people splashing hap­pily
around the campus within
the restricted confines of my for­mer
rain raiments. However,
anything I can do for the Alma
Mater, I do willingly.
I am down to a GI poncho now.
You can see it on me any cloudy
day. Unfortunately I have lost the
with it, but if you really like it
and really want it . . . then ar­range
your schedule to get a class
with me next quarter. You can
have it in time for the April
showers. I'll post my schedule on
the bulletin board in Samford for
those interetsed.
