Debate Open for
Coeds This Year
Freshmen Should Sign
Up Now for Debating
The Auburn Debate Council
had its initial meeting last night
when the officers met and dis­cussed
plans for the coming year.
The first meeting this year will
be a special meeting for girls. All
girls, especially freshmen coeds,
are invited to be in Room 123 of
the New Classroom Building at
5 p.m. Wednesday. Any girls who
are interested in debating are to
be present at this meeting.
Feminine teams are expected to
play an outstanding part in the
debate program of Auburn this
year. A brief outline of the de­bate
schedule includes three tour­naments
on the API campus, a
number of intercollegiate debates
here, and trips into practically
every state in the southeast where
there will be debates against
teams from many colleges.
During the past few years co­eds
on this campus have become
more and more interested in de­bating.
In previous years they
have visited and debated several
out-of-state colleges and have rep­resented
Auburn very well. More
such trips are planned for this
year.
Beginning next month there
will be a freshman debate contest.
The girls team placed second in
last year's freshman tournament,
so they should give the boys a
'close race this year. The title of
this year's question is: "Resolved:
That the Powers of the National
Government be Restrictive."
McCabe is president of Omicron
Delta Kappa, national senior hon­orary
fraternity, which announced
the selection of two outstanding
seniors this morning.
Concert Series to Start Next Month
With the United States Marine Band
Eight Attractions on
Series for This Year
By JIMMY GILBERT
The 1940-41 Auburn Concert
Series opens October 10 with a
special college program by the
United States Marine 'Band, un­der
the direction of Capt. William
F. Stantelmann. This program
heads a group of attractions su­perior
to any series ever offered
on the local campus.
Latest attractions listed by the
concert series include Vincent
Sheean, noted author, newspaper­man
and lecturer, and Robert
Frost, famous poet. Sheean comes
to the local auditorium on No­vember
fourth to speak on the
subject "As The Scene Changes".
Frost's program on Feb. 27 has
not been announced.
Another feature is opera's
glamour girl, Helen Jepson, who
appears on Oct. 23. The beauti­ful
blond Miss Jepson has achiev­ed
her success the hard way, and
. is very frank about it. Her hob­bies
include cooking, fishing,
swimming and hunting. She opens
her current tour in New York,
with the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra.
Other features include the fifty
piece Kryl Symphony Orchestra,
under the baton of Bohumir Kryl
on Dec. 3; John Gould Fletcher, lec­turer
on October 29. Mr. Fletcher
will lecture on "Modern Poetry",
"The Five Arts Today," and "The
Philosophy of Art."
On Jan. 20, the series offers
the noted baritone, Wilbur Evans,
and the talented pianist, Dalies
Frantz. Mr. Frantz has starred in
the MGM short "A Door Opens."
His theory on jazz is that it is
still in its infancy, and that soon­er
or later it will become more
symphonic. He is very positive in
his dislike for swing, and he calls
the Goodman clarinet technique
"Pied-piperish."
The final program of the cur­rent
series will bring to the camp­us
Georges Barrere and his Lit­tle
Symphony, composed of thir­teen
members, playing eleven dif­ferent
instruments. The date is
Mar. 6.
Season tickets for this series
will be on sale to students for the
entire week, starting Monday,
Sept. 23, at the News Bureau of­fice
on the first floor of Samford
Hall. During the following week,
any tickets not taken by the stu­dents
will be offered to the facul­ty
and townspeople at the price
of three dollars for the season.
Students may get their tickets
for $1.00.
All concert attractions will be
presented in the auditorium at
Graves Center, and record crowds
are expected for several of the
attractions.
Loans for This
Year Available
From Scott Fund
Only Juniors and
Seniors in Science and
Lit School Eligible
It was announced this morning
by the School of Science and Lit­erature
that the John Winfield
Scott Loan Fund is now prepared
to extend financial aid to deserv­ing
students of that school for the
1940-41 session.
Funds are now available for
loans to an undisclosed number of
students. One hundred and fifty
dollars is the maximum amount
per student per year which may
be borrowed, loans being made at
four per cent interest to students
who have contributed to the Loan
Fund, and at higher rates to oth­ers.
It was emphasized by Dean J.
W. Scott that the Loan Fund is to
be used for loans and not gifts,
and that proper endorsements will
be required on all loans. "We feel
that we are in a position of trust
with regard to these funds, and
every effort will be made to con­serve
them," he said.
Only juniors and seniors will be
eligible for loans this year, but as
the Loan Fund grows it is expect­ed
that freshmen and sophomores
will be included in the eligible list.
Only students who are in the up­per
part of their classes scholastic-ally
and who have good attitude
and conduct records will be con­sidered
for loans. "The purpose of
this Loan Fund," Dr. Scott said,
"is to help students who are
worthy and who sincerely want to
get through school here."
The Loan Fund was set up dur­ing
the last of the past session and
the early part of this school year
through contributions made by
Science and Literature students
who agreed to give a portion of
their contingent deposits for this
purpose. Various other contribu­tions
to the Fund have been made,
and President L. N. Duncan has
authorized the Fund to use profits
from the economics bookstore
which are not needed for the
maintenance of the economics de­partment.
For further information see
Prof. I. B. Gritz in New Class
Room Building.
Registration Now
Above 3,500 Mark
Freshmen Enrollment May
Rise to 1500 Students
Latest figures on registration
for the first semester show that
approximately 3550 students are
on the rolls at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. However there
are many students who have not
registered yet and the number is
still expected to reach the 4200
mark.
There were 988 freshmen reg­istered
previously to the time that
upperclassmen began their regis­tration.
But including the fresh­men
who came in late and those
who are on the Co-op plan, the
figures on the freshman class
should still have a great rise. It is
expected that the number of
freshmen, including the Co-op
students, will reach well above the
1500 mark before the registra­tion
closes.
It was reported by the regis­trar's
office that the final regis­tration
statistics could not be ex­pected
until about the end of next
week. This is due to the fact that
the Co-ops did not begin their
registration until yesterday. Also
late students will continue regis­tration
until approximately the
end of the second week of school.
Military Honor Group Selects
Eighteen Outstanding Cadets
Notice
The Agricultural Club will hold
its first meeting tomorrow night
at 7, in Ross Chemistry building.
Highlight of the program will be
a talk by M. J. Funchess, dean
of the School of Agriculture.
Dottie Norman,
Dick Peck Named
As Cheerleaders
Win Freshmen Tryouts
In Stadium; Pep Rally
Will be Held Thursday
Two freshmen, Dottie Norman
and Dick Peck, were chosen as
cheerleaders at try-outs held by
Headcheerleader Chick Hatcher
Sunday afternoon in the Auburn
Stadium. Appointment of the two
came after an afternoon of stren­uous
yelling and activity on the
part of those trying out and of
long debating and discussion by
the pep squad.
The appointment of these two
new members to the pep squad
brings the total number of cheer­leaders
to 6, including Margaret
McCain, Davis Gammage, and Joe
Gandy.
Hatcher announced yesterday
that the new cheerleaders would
be given a chance to "show how
good they really are" at a pep
rally for the whole school Thurs­day
afternoon at 4 in the stadium.
All students are requested and ex­pected
to attend the rally to start
(he season off right.
Neither Doris Green nor Frank
Wiggins, two of last year's cheer­leaders,
returned to school this
semester. Dick Peck will take the
regular f r e s hm a n cheerleader
position, and Dottie Norman will
fill the vacancy created by Doris
Green's absence.
Dottie is from Fort Deposit,
Alabama. She has been head-cheerleader
at Lowndes County
High School for two years. She
was very active in dramatics, hav­ing
the leads in two plays during
her senior year.
She took "expression" and
came out second in the district
oratorical contest competition last
year. Incidentally, she was also
valedictorian of her class and won
the state typing contest in 1939.
Dottie is enrolled in Home
Economics Demonstration — "you
know, where you teach people to
stuff mattresses, can foods, etc."
Dick Peck is from Jacksonville,
Florida. He went to Landon High
School. Dick took speech in high
school. He has a sister who teaches
speech in the same school. Also
favoring dramatics, Dick was a
member of the High School
School Dramatic Society.
Dick has that necessary lung
power attributed possibly to his
playing a baritone horn for three
years in the school band in Jack­sonville.

An Auburn Woman
Over the week-end we allowed our­selves
the luxury of an argument with
a woman we had dated a dozen times or
so. It was rather evading the issue, but
it is so very very rare that one meets a
woman in Auburn who has even the
scrap of an independent intellect that
we couldn't resist.
She was so very sure of so very many
things that we had almost concluded that
we were vacillating dopes before we re­membered
one of Mencken's platitudes:
"For men become civilized not in pro­portion
to their willingness to believe
but in proportion to their readiness to
doubt. The more stupid the man, the
larger his stock of adamantine assur­ances,
the heavier his load of faith."
She bravely affirmed, among many
other silly things, that there was equal
opportunity for all in this land of ours,
the poor and the rich man's son started
on equal ground and it was just a mat­ter
of working for anything you wanted.
We breathlessly inquired as to the loca­tion
of all of this work, but after many
unsuccessful attempts she merely reaf­firmed
that all a person had to do was
work and then changed the subject. —
there we were with visions of a man flip­pantly
performing his fancied tasks for
a hypothetical corporation, and on Sat­urday
night collecting an imaginary pay
of magnificant proportions from a pay
office located in the midst of a mirage.
Much did we beg her to divulge the lo­cation
of this work, but she was adam­ant
as are all women when they have
nothing else to be.
Other things did she affirm with eyes
uplifted, among them being the tidbit,
"the government shouldn't feed the poor
for it dulls the edge of their initiative."
"Ah, ha!" quoth we, "Have you ever
gone hungry?" She said she hadn't. We
inquired as to what she thought the gov­ernment
would do if it followed her ad­vice
and awoke one morning and found
ten million men outside with rifles and
machine guns and nothing on their stom­achs
but undulled initiative.
But, ah, we bore you, and the tale
runs dry. We are sorry if you are tired
but we thought you would be interested
in facts of the case. The intellect we ex­amined
is not typical; it is universal,
and we are always interested in what
makes our women tick.
Possibly we are ungallant but after
three years of research in this institu­tion
is it any wonder that we are be­coming
a trifle cynical? And then per­haps
it is that we expect too much. Our
Pop always said that women weren't
made to think anyway. C.J.B.
A Great Step Toward
Better Organization
Last Thursday night we sat around
the table at the president's mansion,
sipped coffee, smoked our cigarettes,
formulated a plan for organizing stu­dent
leaders of campus organizations,
thus taking another great step toward
better organization of the college, its
students and their activities.
Of course more detailed plans must
be worked out but the idea in itself is
most comendable. The Plainsman sug­gests
that the name of "Associated Stu­dent
Leaders" be applied to the new
group. The president of the student body
will serve as chairman of the group.
Meetings will be held once a month at
the president's mansion. The meetings
will be informal, and ideas of each stu­dent
leader will be brought up for dis­cussion.
The new plan is the first effort to­ward
better organization and unity
among campus organizations. The facul­ty
already has a similar organization,
the Faculty Forum, which meets once a
month at night for dinner and to discuss
problems that come up in connection
with college activities and administra­tion.
Members of the "Associated Student
Leaders", as we shall call them until a
definite name is decided upon, will be
the presidents of all fraternities, sorori­ties,
and campus organizations, both
honorary and otherwise.
The group of student leaders will be
able to better organize their respective
organizations for such activities as
Homecoming and Parent's Day. These
leaders will voice their opinions as to
such adjustments as they think should
be made in any matters pertaining to the
college.
Later perhaps, joint meetings could
be held by the Faculty Forum and the
"Associated Student Leaders" in order
to create a better understanding be­tween
the faculty and the students.
Anyway, it's a good idea, and we be­lieve
that after careful studying and
planning, the "Associated Student Lead­ers"
will become a substantial perman­ent
organization and that the actions of
this group will make for better organi­zation
of the student body and for bet­ter
progress at Auburn.
CAMPUS CAMERA Plains Talk—By Herbert Martin
Use Your Cuts Wisely
For about two years, the students here
at Auburn were not given the privilege
of taking cuts. Then at the beginning
of the second semester last year, the
executive council decided that it was
again time for the students to receive
cuts.
Each student is allowed a quota of
cuts for each course amounting to twice
the number of meetings per week in the
course, such quota to be used as the stu­dent
elects, provided, however, that
when a student exceeds his quota in any
course he shall be dropped automatical­ly
and may not be reinstated in that
course except by action of the Execu­tive
Council based upon examination of
the facts by the Executive Secretary in
the case of men students, and the Dean
of Women in the case of women stu­dents.
Under no condition shall the privi­leges
granted either in the quota of cuts,
or in the Dean's Lists, be applied to any
announced quiz, special laboratory as­signment,
or scheduled examination.
Every student at Auburn, whether he
is freshman or upperclassman, should
remember that each class that he at­tends
costs him a small sum and that
after a few cuts have been taken that
sum runs up into the big money. Au­burn
is not a school where students come
to find enjoyment only, but it is one
where every student comes to prepare
himself for a life's work which will make
him a fine citizen and workman in the
eyes of his fellow man.
No one should say that The Plains­man
is trying to discourage them in the
matter of taking cuts for that is not the
purpose of this editorial at all. The pur­pose
is to encourage each and every stu­dent
to use his or her cuts wisely and
not to waste them in order to take a va­cation
in the middle of the semester. We
must remember that something may hap­pen
at home, such as funerals, weddings,
or other ceremonies, which will require
our presence and that in such cases the
cuts are to be charged to the allowed
quota.
Absences on college business shall
not be charged against the quota. Neith­er
shall absences due to illness or in­juries
be charged against the allowed
quota of the individual student.
So let's all use our cuts wisely and not
in a way which will see us being
dropped from classes during the last
week of the semester, after we have
done nearly all of the required work
to receive credit for that subject.
Just Ramblm'—Office Boy's Note
There's supposed to be a column
in this space. A regular, honest
to goodness column that should be
of interest to readers from any
part of the campus. But it isn't
here. The fellow that was sup­posed
to write it went off to
Montgomery, and the editor of the
paper went off for the week-end,
and that didn't leave anybody
hanging around the Plainsman of­fice
but the office boy.
The following fragment was lo­cated
deep in the dust, and is un­completed.
If the author will turn
up around here and claim his (or
her) brain-child, and finish it up,
all would be forgiven. Here 'tis:
"Auburn!" . . . "Going to Au­burn?"
"Yes sir."
It's the old, old Auburn cry.
How many of us have not made it
at some time or another? Thumb­ing
is sort of a tradition here­abouts.
The above conversation
took place one night about seven-thirty
in Tuskegee. The conditions
were rather unusual though; a
well-dressed young colored man
was driving the car. In the dim
light reflected from the head­lights
of the car one would see
that he was tall, so tall that he
had to bend over the wheel, a
rather round, intelligent face top­ped
with close clipped hair, and
a pair of octagonal glasses com­pleted
the picture.
Conversation seemed to come
spontaneously between the two;
the Auburn student in the uniform
marked with a first lieutenant's
insignia, and this clean-cut color­ed
boy from Tuskegee; two stu­dents.
It developed that they both read
poetry, and history as a hobby.
There was one important dif­ference
between them though; the
colored boy knew where he was
going, studying Ag, specializing in
soils; when he gets out he'll go
back to his father's farm and ap­ply
what he has learned in his
years of school. He's done a lot
of planning and his future was all
Campus Leaders
At the annual banquet of the
Interfraternity Council last spring,
one R. T. Young, III, was elected
president of said council for this
year. We quote from the Plains­man,
April 23, 1940 "Council of­ficers
gave out no vote totals,
but the count was said on reli­able
authority, to be 24-14 in fav­or
of Young over his only oppon­ent."
And in such a factional
bunch as the Interfrat Council is
and by all right should be, that
is somepin'.
R. T. also swings the gavel at
the Pi Kappa Alpha lodge.
Listing Fairfield, Alabama as
his home town, Young is enrolled
in Industrial Engineering, and is,
of course, a senior. Speaking of
his course, R. T. is one of the
charter members of "The Auburn
Society of Industrial Engineers."
He is also a member of the Fi­nance
Board of the student social
committee — which alone stamps
him as one of the "chosen few."
If there's a freshman, of either
sex, who hasn't met Mr. Young
yet, and wants to be able to recog­nize
and claim to know him, he's
worked out in detail. A future of
service. While the white boy had
no definite ideas or plans about
anything except that he was sure
that he wanted to finish school.
(And then there's a penciled
note that says "No more inspira­tion.")

I am twenty-three.
An American.
The Europeans are cutting one an­other
To pieces again.
Everyone speaks of the imminence
Of our entry.
Then I will be required
To die
To protect something uncertain
From something equally uncertain
For someone uncertain.
There is nothing in life
That I value particularity.
I do not have to stand for any­thing
For I have found nothing
Worth standing for.
And yet there is something
In the stew of my bones
That cries: "Dignity!"
And resents the stupidity
Of a man killing a man
For anything.
I walk out of my way to keep
From stepping on worms in my
path,
And yet soon I'll be hunting men
If fools have their way.
Someone said, sincerely:
"Everything that lives is holy."
But the men who rule this land
And others
Have not heard that

C. J. Bastien.
Rule number four, page 16, in
the "Handbook for Women Stu­dents"
. . . in bold-face type,
"Any food so packed as to at­tract
mice or insects must be kept
in tin boxes."
Forgetting for a moment the
obvious question of why anyone
should want to pack food in a way
attractive to mice or insects, sup­pose
we consider just how one
would go about putting up this
tempting box of tid-bits.
* * *
In the first place, we must
know what constitutes delegabili­ty
in the mind of a hungry mouse,
and if this is also attractive to
insects. The only known fact,
judging by our helpful rule num­ber
four, is that both mice and in­sects
seem to like tin boxes, so
our first step should be to pro­cure
the box.
It is common knowledge that
tin boxes, if pure tin is required,
are as hard to find as snails'
hooves, but perhaps a passable
substitute could be made out of
a few vegetable soup cans which
are coated with tin. The little
beasts can't be discerning enough
to detect that small change.
* * *
Now for the contents. We are
aware that mice (we say mice be­cause
rats wear caps this time of
year, and may be caught without
such subtle guile) have a fond­ness
for cheese, but we rather
think that insects, especially mos-quitos
and other carnivorous mem­bers
of the six-legged family, pre­fer
human flesh.
Being alergic to cheese, we
hesitate to get into this box with
"food so packed as to attract mice
or insects". That leaves the du­bious
alternative of using our
roomie. This alternative is du­bious
principally because our
roomie is likely to become alergic
to cheese in these circumstances.
Skipping many of the prelimin­ary
steps, we finally decide that
our box, preferably of tin, should
contain cheese, honey and flow­ers
(in case of bees), a hearth
beside a lighted fireplace (for
crickets), one Glommyrotter as
human (?) bait, and a small piece
of liver (for anemic wasps). We
are now ready to "attract mice-or
insects". We not only may at­tract
mice or insects, but mice and
insects, which makes our package
twice as efficient, foolish, and
eligible for the draft.

The fur-lined syrup pitcher for
the label of the month goes to
the man who named the Repub­lican
candidate "Dwindle Willkie".
* * *
Rat caps are making their usual
brave show at this time this year,
but we can't help feeling that
within a few weeks they will be­come
about as scarce as an oyster's
toenails.
Exchanges. . . .
"The height of tact is in being
able to make your guests feel at
home when you wish they were."
quoted from somewhere by the
Alabamian, Montevallo sheet.
Ernie Harwell, of last year's
Emory Wheel reported an N.Y.
comedian's sally to Robert Taylor,
"What have you got that makes
me so repulsive?"
* * *
Song titles. . . . When the Swal­lows
Come Back . . . cheap likker.

Next issue, or soon after, we
shall give our expose, with an
acute accent over the last "e",
of how to get her into the dormi­tory
after eleven. We have had a
six-man detective force studying
various methods for some time, -
and as soon as a few of the un­usual
ones have been thoroughly
tested by couples selected by the
staff, we shall disclose the start­ling
facts.
Karrie, the Kampus Kommen-tator,
comments, "That's a lot of
baloney. The only way you can
get a girl into the dormitory after
eleven is to wait until dance nights
when curfew has been changed."

Auburn Knights Return to Campus
With Larger Band After Tour in East
R. T. Young
a blonde, just about that high, has
eyes that are either blue or gray
or brown or greenish, and must
weigh somewhere between 140 and
200. If that description doesn't
help, maybe his picture will.
Incidentally, that "R" stands
for "Ringgold."
By DAVID ALLEN
The Auburn Knights are back
with us after completing a very
successful summer touring Virgi­nia
and the Carolinas.
Through a booking agency in
Richmond, John Philip Sousa,
well-known New York band lead­er,
was selected as their "front
man." They played for eight
weeks at Seaside Park, Virginia
Beach, and afterwards at over­night
stands over the Southeast,
ending their tour at Auburn. In
all, the band traveled over seven
thousand miles.
While the Knights were playing
at Virginia Beach, the Seaside
Club broke all the attendance re­cords
of the several clubs in the
vicinity, the band sometimes
playing to audiences of over
seventeen hundred patrons. They
played in competition with such
well known bands as Glenn Gray
and his Casa Loma Boys, Will
Bradley, Hal Kemp, and Russ
Morgan.
But it wasn't all hard work and
no play. They jammed, some­times
until all hours of the night
with many of the headline bands
of the nation, among them Russ
Morgan and Dick Stabile. And,
as the Knights are also good at
other things than downbeats, their
softball team crossed bats with
teams from several famous orches­tras,
including Les Brown, Dean
Hutson, and Herbie Kay.
Polly Hall, the Knight's vocal­ist
from Alexander City, was very
popular throughout the tour. Dur­ing
their stay at Virginia Beach
she was offered a position with
Les Brown, playing at the Hotel
Lincoln, in New York City, with
an opportunity to broadcast over
the NBC network. Also, Bobby
Hill, who takes care of the great­er
part of the arranging for the
Knights, was offered a place with
Dean Hutson's Orchestra, doing
the same work for them. Both of
them, we are happy to say, declin­ed
the offers and are still with
our Auburn Knights.
The orchestra has been enlarged
from twelve to fourteen pieces,
and is using a strict Glenn Miller
style. In the Sax section are: Bob­by
Adair, clarinet artist and lead­er
of the orchestra; Alan Cowart,
1st Sax; Joe Mitchell, 1st tenor
sax; Herman Kockritz, 2nd ten­or
sax; and Shel Toomer, 3rd alto
sax. . -
In the brass section are: Rich­ard
Johnson, 1st trombone; Char­lie
H. Wood, 2nd trombone;
"Shug" Fitzpatrick, 1st trumpet;
Bobby Hill, 2nd. trumpet; and
Chick Hatcher, 3rd trumpet.
Rhythm makers are Billy Hill
at the piano, Charlie M. Wood on
the drums, and Frank Frazier,
Bass Fiddler.

Tryouls for Glee
Clubs This Week
F i r s t R e h e a r s a l s H e ld
Y e s t e r d a y a n d T o d ay
Try-outs for men's and women's
Glee Clubs are being held by Mr.
Lawrence B a r n e 11, conductor,
each afternoon this week from
4:30 until 6:00. They are held up­stairs
above the electric labora­t
o r y behind the Textile Building.
The Glee Clubs have always
been among the leading organi­zations
of the campus. Highlight
activities of the past year were
the Sunday Morning broadcast
over WSFA, Montgomery, from
Dr. Walter B. Jones' huge Peo­ple's
Bible Class; the ODK Musi­cal
Miscellany in Langdon Hall;
a coast:to-coast broadcast over
the Columbia Network; Auburn's
first operetta, "The Chimes of
Normandy," presented by the
combined men's and women's
clubs; and the double quartet per­formance
featured at the State
Eotary Convention.
The repeated successes of the
Glee Clubs every year are made
largely by previously inexperienc­ed
people.
Mr. Barnett announced that the
first rehearsal for men was to be
held last night. First rehearsal for
girls will be this afternoon at 4:30.

Edith Cecil Carson and Ed Davis
Are Employed in Burton's Art Work
Two 1940 graduates of Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute have
accepted positions with Burton's
Book Store for the coming year.
Edith Cecil Carson, who holds
a degree in interior decoration,
and who is living in Montgomery,
has been employed to design all
window display back-drops for
Burton's.
Ed Davis, who graduated in
commercial art, will work in Bur­ton's
and will be in charge of art
supplies.
Miss Carson is a member of
Kappa Delta sorority. She was
chosen for the beauty section of
the Glomerata several times dur­ing
her undergraduate career in
Auburn. She was May Queen in
1939. The Department of Archi­tecture
and Allied Arts employ­ed
Miss Carson as an instructor
last year.
Mr. Davis was one of the
Plainsman's leading cartoonists
while in API. His specialty were
sports cartoons, concerning in­formation
about Auburn's athletic
activities and the men that parti­cipate
and control them. Mr. Dav­is
is a member of Kappa Alpha
social fraternity. His home is in
Prattville.

"Take your daughter back to
Atlanta. She'll never make good
here in Hollywood!"
That was the advice proffered
Jane Withers' mother when she
first brought Jane, who is starred
in "Girl From Avenue A," to Hol­lywood
eight years ago.
Now firmly established as one
of Hollywood's most successful
young stars, Jane and her mother
have a beautiful home and the
mischievously pert youngster is
steadily climbing in the estima­tion
of millions of fans. Her new
20th Century-Fox picture, "Girl
From Avenue A," which is coming
Thursday to the Martin Theatre,
shows Jane as a Bowery spitfire
on her own in Park Avenue.
An extra in "Girl From Avenue
A" is the actor who advised Mrs.
Withers to take her daughter back
to Georgia. Although she didn't
take his advice, Mrs. Withers real­izes
the sincerity behind his ad­vice
and tries to help him get parts
in Jane's pictures.
Featured in the supporting cast
of "Girl From Avenue A" are
Kent Taylor, Katharine Aldridge,
Elyse Knox, Laura Hope Crews
and many others. Sol M. Wurtzel
was executive producer for the
picture which was directed by
Otto Brower.

Harry had everything, except a sense of discrimi­nation.
Perhaps he leaned too heavily on his natural
gifts. Anyway he never added to them in college, but
laughed things off—like the times his old-fashioned
pen ran dry in classes and exams. Our bright alumnus
is out in the world today—a man who could have given
orders, he is taking them.
Sure, it seems far-fetched, but you'll be surprised
•what a great big difference it makes in your grades to
carry a sure-fire pen like the Parker Sacless Vacumatic.
It's this revolutionary streamlined Beauty that never

Of D a n f o r t h Fellowship
A w a r d to 3 6 U.S. Women
By MARGARET WHATLEY
The opportunity of a lifetime
was experienced by thirty-six
girls this summer. These girls rep­resented
thirty-five agricultural
colleges and Hawaii. Each spring
in these colleges an outstanding
junior in home economics is se­lected
by the dean to become the
recipient of the Danforth Fellow­ship.
This covers a two weeks stay
in St. Louis as guest of the Rals­ton
Purina Mills and two weeks
of leadership training at the
American Y o u t h Foundation
Camp, Miniwanca, Shelby, Mich­igan.
This Fellowship originated from
one man, William H. Danforth,
President of the American Youth
Foundation and Chairman of the
Board of the Ralston Purina Com­pany.
The first two days were spent
at the Purina Experimental Farm,
Grey Summit, Missouri. Manage­ment
method and nutritional stud­ies
of the 1,500 head of livestock
and 5,000 head of poultry were
observed. Each department of the
farm is under the supervision of
an agricultural college graduate.
The time at the mills was spent
studying manufacturing control
methods, making nutritional stud­ies,
doing experimental milling
and baking, making vitamin as­says,
observing spectrophotomet-ric
and X-ray methods for study­ing
nutritional properties in milk,
eggs, cereals, flours, etc.
The girls studied actual prob­lems
of manufacturing, distribu­tion
and. advertising. They were
introduced to problems of busi­ness
personnel, employment man­agement,
and became acquainted
with interviews and applications.
Trips were made to large indus­trial
plants, candy manufacturers,
department stores, hotels, hospi­tals,
advertising agencies, packing
companies, and radio stations.
There were also visits to the Zoo,
the Lindbergh trophies in the Jef­ferson
Memorial, the Art Museum,
the Municipal opera, Shaw's Bo­tanical
Gardens and other places
of interest.
At camp in the cool Michigan
hills emphasis was placed on per­sonal
development. The day was di­vided
between class work and rec­reation,
group games, track and
acquatic events. The classes con­sisted
of: ethics and attitudes,
techniques of leadership, art of
successful living, and life's essen­tials.
As each girl went her way
homeward, she carried both a sad
heart and a joyous one. Although

Handbooks were distributed by
the Women's Athletic Association,
and the Intramural Sports De­partment
in the registration lines
last week. The Intramural Sports
Department, which supervises all
athletic activities among the men
students, is headed by Prof. E. B.
Smith, who maintains offices in
Samford Hall.
The Women's Athletic Associa­tion
is headed by Miss Fannie
Stollenwerck and Mrs. Louise
Kreher Forte.
Track and tennis will be the
only men's sports open to all the
campus during the fall months.
During the winter months, table
tennis, badminton, foul throwing,
swimming, and fencing will be
open for all-campus competition.
Tennis will again be played in the
spring, as will horseshoes, shuffle-board,
and golf.
The fall sports program for fra­ternal
and independent organiza­tions
gets under way September
21, when entries close for inter-fraternity
touch football compe­tition.
Play will begin September
25. Entries for independent touch
football close on October 4, and
play will begin on October 7.
Last year's champs were the
SAE's with the Kappa Sig's as
runner up among the Greek let­ter
lads, while Terrel's Terrors
copped top honors in the independ­ent
grouping, followed by FFA in
second place.
The race for all campus tennis
champion begins on October 2, en­tries
for which are now being ac­cepted.
Those who wish to enter
may obtain entry blanks at the
Intramural Sports office, or may
phone in their entries. King of the
campus courts for last year was
J. E. Pittman, of Enterprise, a
freshman in agricultural educa­tion.
Runner up was F. B. Nixon,
of Auburn, a senior in mechanical
engineering.
Tennis for faculty members will
also begin on October 2. Last
year Prof. H. W. Adams won the
crown, and Prof. E. A. Jones took
second place honors.
First semester intramural ac­tivities
for the women will include
volleyball, shuffleboard, tenni-quoits,
goal-throwing, and twenty-one.
During the second semester,
the coeds will compete in basket­ball,
badminton, tennis, box hoc­key,
and archery.
The WAA also sponsors recrea­tional
classes such as archery,
badminton, fencing, social danc­ing,
and tap dancing. It also backs
such groups as the Outing Club,
the Square Dance Club, and the
Tumbling and Stunt Club.
Well known among the students
is the Dance Club, which provides
entertainment in the form of
aesthetic dancing during the May
Day Festival, recitals, and other
public functions.

Auburn Plainsmen Start Season With
New Band Playing for " A " Club Hops
By DAVID ALLEN
Just as most of the rest of us
rats and upperclassmen are begin­ning
to buckle down to work, so
are the members of the Auburn
Plainsmen, college orchestra, be­ginning
to put in some real labor.
Starting rehearsals on Wednesday
after a short vacation, the Plains­men
are rounding themselves out
as a top ranking college orches­tra.
A band of fourteen players,
they are gaining in popularity by
playing "swing and sweet" music,
with arrangements to please ev­eryone.
During the summer they played
a five weeks engagement in the
Rainbow Room, Idle Hour Park,
near Columbus, Georgia. They
played for several dances in the
Hotel Ralston in Columbus, as
well as for all eight of the "A"
Club dances here in Auburn. They
also furnished the rhythm for the
two festivities given for the en­tire
summer school.
While playing in the Rainbow
Room at Idle Hour Park, a movie
short was made of them, and sent
to all the Martin Theatres in Geor­gia,
Alabama, Mississippi, and
Florida.
The staff of the band is as fol­lows:
Charles Higgins, director
trumpet soloist; Dick Bowden,
business manager who handles the
bass fiddle; Tom Elkins, Bill
Couch, trumpet; Ray Sindersine
and Johnny Hearn, trombone;
Ken Vance, L. G. Morris, Calvin
Miller, R. D. Browning, and Len
Riley, saxophone; Joe Moojitt;
piano; Eugene Jordan, drums; and
Rosalind Shephard, vocalist. Ken
Vance, sax, also sings, with the
maestro, Charles Higgins, helping
on the novelties. The band fea­tures
five sax with a soprano lead,
and five brass, featuring two
trombones. They also have a quin­tet,
made of piano, trumpet, tenor
sax, violin and bass, for the novel­ties.
Eugene Jordan, who p l a ys
drums most of the time with the
Plainsmen, is a guest artist on the
violin with the Birmingham Civic
Symphony Orchestra, and lends
colorful music to the band with
his brilliant playing of the strang-ed
instrument.
The Plainsmen are booked for
a dance at the GSCW, at Milledge-ville,
Georgia, and for the "A"
Club Dance in Auburn next Sat­urday
night. They are sure of
bookings with several other out-of-
state colleges, and will play for
the opening of the Green Room
of the Pitts Hotel this Friday
night. At present they are play­ing
twice daily at the College Inn.
Although a comparatively new
band, only having been organized
since the summer of 1939, they
are welcomed wherever they ap­pear.

"I Want My Mamma"—Decca
3310-A.
Another typical Andrew Sisters
rendition with Vic Schoen furn­ishing
the instrumental accompani­ment
to a good jook tempo. An­drews
admirers should enjoy this.
"Oh He Loves Me" — Decca
3310-R.
With a snappy dixiel and pass­age
by Vic Schoen's orchestra,
this little ballad swing of a rural
romance by some rube who's got­ta
have quite a bit of livestock as
a dowry along with his gal. Quite
pathetic—this romance—nice work
by the A. Sisters though.
"Dolomite"—Decca 3312-A.
Jimmy Dorsey comes to bat
with a terrific new tune and goes
for a home run, with a knocked
out arrangement of this definitely
in the groove tune which is just
as solid as the rock for which it
is named. With a fine bit of alto-ing
by Dorsey, a nice trumpet ride
and a solid bit of tenor tooting by
Herb Haymer, this mets my vote
as the best bet in the bunch.
"Hep-Tee Hootie" — D e C C a
3312-B.
Helen O'Connel and the boys
swing out in a vocal novellette of
juke jive with Mr. Dorsey in the
spotlight for a short but good alto
passage. The drummer boy does
his part alright also.
"Can't Get Indiana Off My
Mind"—Decca 3321-A.
A good dish on which Bing sen­timentally
sends all the homesick
sentamentalists (especially the
boys from the title state) with the
aid of J. Scott Trotter and his
boys, who, although they aren't
terrific, do all right as a back­ground
on this current favorite.
"I Found A Million Dollar
Baby"—Decca 3321-B.
An oldie in which Bing cutely
croons about one dimestore deb
from whom he bought quite a bit
of china during a sudden April
shower.

NYA Aiding 350
Students at API
Appropriations Reach
Total of $40,000 Here
When the National Youth Ad­ministration,
a government agency
for the aid of college students,
was first organized in Auburn in
1934, the appropriation was very
small. Since then, because of the
success of the movement, the
amount of funds has grown stead­ily
larger, until now the aid in­cludes
some 350 students, enabl­ing
them to begin and continue
their college work.
The NYA was organized to give
material aid to students desiring
to enter college, to give assistance
to those who would be unable to
continue their college work with­out
such aid. Those students, who
have proved their need of aid and
who have shown their willingness
to work by their scholastic records
in high school, are given small
salaries, ranging from ten to fif­teen
dollars a month, in return
for work which they do on the
campus or in the offices of the
college.
The first appropriation at Au­burn
amounted to $24,420, help­ing
192 students. The appropria­tion
this year has been increased
to $40,365, giving aid to some
350 students. Although the num­ber
of students who receive this
aid has increased almost 100%,
the number of applicants is still
larger, with about seven applica­tions
for each position.
