Crowds Pack Hall to Hear Beautiful
And Versatile Voice of Helen Jepson
Accompanist Also Gives
Superb Performance
By DR. ROSA LEE WALSTON
Thrilling the largest audience
ever assembled in Graves Center,
Helen Jepson appeared in concert
Wednesday night.
Opening with a group of Shake­spearean
songs, the singer held
her audience thrall from the first
notes. Her's was a diction such
as few ever" achieve, resulting in
what seemed to be an effortless
performance. In no number was
her fluid, lyric timbre better ex­emplified
than in the Willow
Song, from "Otello." Certainly it
is one of our hopes to hear Miss
Jepson in the role of Desdemona.
The program, comprising both
classic numbers and a generous
selection from the moderns, was
indicative of the artists versatili­ty.
The encores, of which the au­dience
could never have enough,
were well chosen and further em­phasized
Miss Jepson's range.
Among the most effective num­bers
were the songs of Wolf. In
the Mirror Song from "Thais"
we realized that the concert sing­er
was also an opera star. There
were those qualities of responsive­ness
and awareness which come
only when the voice is an expres­sion
of the total personality.
Hauntingly beautiful was Rach­maninoff's
"Vocalise."

Delta Sigma Pi
Inducts New Men
Delta Sigma Pi, national honor­ary
fraternity for commerce and
business administration students,
held a banquet and initiation of
new members last night.
Judge T. D. Samford was the
guest speaker at the banquet,
which was held at the Pitts Hotel.
Nine new men were initiated
into Delta Sigma Pi, at last night's
ceremonies. They are: L. J. Mc­Millan,
junior, from Brewton;
Francis Golson, senior, from Ft.
Deposit; Daughtry Perrit, senior,
from Florence; Donald Hopton-
Jones, sophomore, from Niguero,
Cuba; John Hart, junior, from

Mathews, Robert George Mun-master,
W. B. Oates, and "Cap"
Swift.
Four politicians seek the posi­tion
of vice-president. They are
John C. Hadley, "Pistol" Merrill,
Carl Schmidt, and Cullen Ward.
One candidate is apparently as­sured
of the office he- is running
for. The candidate is James Fost­er
who is unopposed for secre­tary
of the class.
Two candidates will vie for the
treasurer's post, "Butch" Mont­gomery
and Hal Simms.
Five coeds are politicking for
the position of historian. These
include Ruth Blair, Betty Jane
Harwell, Elizabeth Herzfelt, Mar­garet
Johnston, and Anne Randle.
For the important position of
freshman representative to the
Executive Cabinet four boys will
be fighting it out. Among these
are Emerson M. Evans, Henry

will be held from 8 a.m.
throughout the day next Tuesday
until 5 p.m. Ballot boxes will be
placed on Ag Hill and in Student
Center.
All candidates are again warn­ed
that any means of campaigning
other than personal approach will
disqualify the candidate. This
means that no cards, handbills, or
posters, and other forms of such
campaigning may be used.
Roby urged this morning that
all candidates who had placed
their n a m e s on blackboards
throughout the buildings on the
campus must erase them.
Student ticket books must be
presented by each freshman in or­der
to receive a ballot for voting.
Freshmen politicians are alro
warned that no politicking is al­lowed
within fifty feet of the
polling places.

8 Students Named
To Take Advanced
Pilot Training
All Students Selected
Have Completed Primary
CAA Training Course
Eight Auburn students have
been selected to receive advanced
pilot training in the secondary
course being sponsored here this
fall by the Civil Aeronautics Au­thority.
Lieut. B. M. Cornell, director
of the student pilot training pro­gram
here, recently announced
that a quota of ten students had
been allotted to Auburn for the
advanced course. The other two
students to be selected will be
announced shortly, Lieut. Cornell
said this week.
Work in the advanced course
has already commenced for the
following eight students: Joel
Richard Abney, Jr., Anderson, S.
C.; Edwin Clinton Allen, Mem­phis,
Tenn.; James Hall Cousins,
Wetumpka, Ala.; Fred Marshall
Speake, Jr.; Leland Edson Starr,
Jr., Auburn; Handley Gillis Thig-pen,
Jr., Marion; Joe Wilkins Wal­lace,
Jr., Douglas, Ga.; Joseph
Cushman Ware, Jr., Birmingham.
Students in the advanced course
must have completed the prelim­inary
course and must complete
126 hours of ground school in­struction
and forty to fifty hours

will be given in a heavier type of
plane and will deal primarily with
acrobatics.
War Eagle and Wreck
Tech Are Battle Cries
By HERBERT MARTIN
Wreck Tech, Praise de Lawd,
and War Eagle!
Atlanta tomorrow will play host
to one of the major annual classics
in the South as Auburn and Geor­gia
Tech meet for the forty-fourth
time in a series which dates back
to 1892.
Highways, side roads, and choo-choo
trains in the general direction
of Atlanta will be filled to capa­city
with Auburn students and sup­porters
which varying estimates
place from 1,000 to 20,000. The
first figure is believed to be more
accurate.
Auburn holds the edge in this
colorful series with 23 wins, as
compared with Tech's 17. Three
ties have marked this rivalry, and
Tech has come out on the top in
the last two meetings with a one-point
margin.
Parade Scheduled
Official Auburn Atlanta festi­vities
will begin with a parade from
the station immediately after the
arrival of the special train from
Auburn which will reach Atlanta
about eleven o'clock.
Doped by pre-season forecasters
to have one of the outstanding
teams in the South, Tech rates as
the favorite tomorrow, but that se­lection
is not in general favor on
this side of the Alabama-Georgia
line.
It is the prevailing opinion here
that Auburn will discard first-half
logginess and play two halves
of second-half football of the cali­ber
shown in the Miss. State and
S.M.U. games. If this is true, Au­burn
suporters look forward to
sweet revenge for the single point
victories eked out by the Techni­cians
in the last two pitched bat­tles
on Grant Field.
Both teams, undefeated in this
conference, will have the added in­centive
of a clean dafeat column on
the S.E.C. ledger to protect, al­though
nothing is needed to supply
a competitive spark when these an­cient
rivals meet.
Bandi to Perform
Color will be added by two of the
outstanding bands in the South,
and both bands will take part in
the half-time festivities. Both
schools will have well-filled cheer­ing
sections, and the rivalry be­tween
schools extends to bands and
cheering sections. All Auburn rep­resentatives
try to outdo those of
Tech in all forms of game compe­tition,
and Tech supporters return i
the courtesy. As a result, the foot­ball
game, although paramount in
importance, is not the only event
worth watching which will take
place on Grant Field tomorrow.
Miss Homecoming to
Be Named Nov. 4
Blue Key Releases
Plans for Election
Members of Blue Key have an­nounced
final plans for selection
of candidates and for the election
of Miss Homecoming. Candidates
will be chosen by sororities and by
non-sorority groups in the individ­ual
dormitories.
Each sorority may enter one girl
in the contest. Dormitory I may
enter two non-sorority-contestants.
Dormitories II, III and IV may en­ter
one non-sorority contestant
each. Girls living outside of the
dormitories will meet with the
members of the dormitories with
which they are affiliated in convo­cation
affairs, and their votes for
candidates will, therefore, be rep­resented.
After the candidates are chosen,
Miss Homecoming will be elected
by popular vote of the student
body. The students voting must
present their student activities
book. This book will be punched
when the vote is registered. The
polls will be at the Main gate of
the campus. The election is sched­uled
to take place Monday, Nov. 4.
Miss Homecoming will be pre­sented
between halves at the foot­ball
game between . Auburn and
Clemson.
API Students Favor Roosevelt
Students Cast 85 Per
Cent of Its Votes for
F.D.R. in Opinion Poll
Results from yesterday's stu­dent
opinion poll by the Plains­man
showed that 85 per cent of
the students at Auburn favor
President Roosevelt for President
of the United States, with 15 per
cent in favor of Wendell Willkie.
Approximately 600 students
participated in the poll on features
of the Plainsman, the presidential
race, and the war situations.
Breaking down the figures in
the presidential balloting it was
found that 84.5 per cent of the
men preferred Roosevelt and 14.5
per cent for Willkie. Roosevelt
garnered 83 per cent of the wom­en
votes with Willkie getting the
remaining 17 per cent.
Going into class figures on the
poll it was discovered that the
senior class favored Roosevelt by
80 per cent to 20 per cent for
Willkie, the highest vote of any
class for Willkie.
The junior class cast 85 per
cent of its ballots for Roosevelt
and 15 for Willkie. The sopho­mores
voted the highest percent­age
for Roosevelt, the figure be­ing
88, and 12 for Willkie. The
freshman class favors Roosevelt
86 per cent to 14 for Willkie.
59 Per Cent of Student
Body Believes We Will
Not Go to War in Europe
On the question, Do you think
we will go to war in Europe?",
the students voted 59 per cent No
and 41 per cent Yes, for the en­tire
student body.
The men voted 60 per cent No
and 40 per cent Yes on the Euro­pean
war question. The women
students cast 54 per cent No bal­lots
and 46 per cent as Yes.
Breaking down the figures into
voting by classes it was found
that 60 per cent of the senior
class does not think that we will
go to war in Europe. The junior
class voted the highest per cent
as No, tallying 63 per cent nega­tive
votes and 37 per cent affirm­ative
votes.
In the sophomore class was the
greatest fear that we may go to
war in Europe with 47 per cent
of the class voting Yes and 53
per cent casting negative ballots.
The freshman class voted 62.5 No
and 37.5 in the affirmative.
' Further analyzation of the re­sults
of this poll on the European
question will also be carried in
next Tuesday's issue.
It was somewhat surprising
that a greater per cent of the stu­dent
body thinks that we will go
to war irl the Far East.
46 Per Cent of Students
Fear We Will Enter War
In the Far East Area
Probably the most surprising
result of the poll yesterday at the
Main Gate was the figures re­ceived
on the question, "Do you
think that we will go to war in
the Far East?"
For the student body as a
whole, 46 per cent answered Yes
to the question and 54 per cent
negative ballots. This compared
with 59 for Yes and 41 for No
on the European war question.
The men students voted 49 per
cent Yes for our chances to enter
war in the Far East and 51 per
cent No. The women students cast
a high of 78 per cent negative
ballots and 22 per cent Yes.
In the classes, the sophomore
class expressed the highest af­firmative
vote with 53 per cent
as Yes and 47 per cent No.
The senior class voted 55 per
cent No and 45 per cent as Yes.
In the junior class the vote was
57 per cent negative and 43 per
cent affirmative. Freshmen cast
58 per cent votes as No and 42
per cent as Yes.
It was interesting to note that
the poll on this question showed
that the women students do not
see much peril of our entering a
war in the Far East.

Helen Jepson Especially Likes Her
College Audiences on Concert Tours
Bow of Ribbon in Hair
Is College Influence
By REDDING SUGG
Helen Jepson, fresh from a con­cert
at Clemson College which
was attended by an enthusiastic
crowd of more than 3,000, told
members of the student body,
whom she received at the Social
Center last Wednesday morning,
that she considers college audi­ences
among her most important.
Miss Jepson, the Akron, Ohio,
girl whose magnificent soprano
has carried her to the heights of
fame, was dressed in green wool
with a green-and-red plaid coat.
In her famous blond hair she wore
a bow of green ribbon, which she
laughingly pointed out as a visible
result of college influence.
Asked which is her favorite op­era,
Miss Jepson replied that it
is a matter of familiarity. She has
achieved a great part of her fame
through her interpretation of the
role of Violetta in "La Traviata,"

By P. M. PRUITT
Here is another thing the boys
from the soil do with efficiency,
and that is hitch-hiking. B. I.
Bright, Bill Crawford, Cliff Beck­ham,
Tom Campbell, and two or
three others were among those
from Auburn who saw the game in
Dallas, Texas last Saturday. But
the swiftest thumbs seem to be­long
to Crawford and Bright who
left at noon Wednesday, and ar­rived
in Dallas late Thursday.
Now if that isn't good hitch-hik­ing,
there "ain't" a cow in Tex­as.
And there must be some cows
in Texas, because some of the
boys came back wearing ten gal­lon
hats. Bright and Crawford
also report that Texas produces
some choice femininity.

There has developed a prob­lem
in Auburn which will require
a sleuth to solve. For example, a
boy (sucker), not the writer, will
call a coed in one dormitory for
a date. She will either grant the
privilege, or she has to study, her
mother is in town, etc. If it is
one of the latter, the sucker will
call another gal in another dormi­tory.
When he asks her for a date,
she will probably tell him she
doesn't care to play second choice.

and she said that naturally she
prefers the part which she sings
best.
Miss Jepson is noted for her
performances in the operas "Ma-non"
and "Faust," and she said
that arias from these two are
usually in great demand on her
concert programs.
The charming singer said that
her most difficult role is that of
Melisande in the exotic Debussy
opera "Pelleas et Melisande." She
worked for nearly seven years
preparing for her debut in the
complicated role, which she sang
for the first time in New York
last year.
In contrast to the long period
of practice required for the per­formance
of Melisande, Miss Jep­son
learned the part of "Manon"
during a single summer.
Miss Jepson repeated her often
expressed opinion that no audi­ence,
and least of all a college'au­dience,
should be "sung down to."
She believes that audiences right­ly
resent an artist's obvious ef­forts
to come down to "their
level."
Her Auburn concert was the
eighth on Helen Jepson's current
concert tour. She has just recent­ly
returned from Puerto Rico,
where she sang with Nino Mar­tini
in "La Traviata."
Miss Jepson said that her Au­burn
concert and the one which
follows at Raleigh, North Caro­lina,
are the last she will sing in
the South this season. She goes
from Raleigh to the north and
then through the west, her tour
being scheduled to end some time

Auburn Crad Dies in
New Orleans Hospital
Word was received here yester­day
that James C. Phelps, native
of Lee County and an Auburn
graduate, died this week in New
Orleans at the United States Ma­rine
Hospital after an illness of
five months.
Phelps was 58 years old at the
time of his death. He was a chem­ist,
lawyer, and an educator and
had lived in New Orleans since
1930 when he entered the employ­ment
of the alcohol tax unit of
the United States Treasury De­partment.
He held bachelor and master
of science degrees from Auburn
and a law degree from the Uni­versity
of Alabama. He was a
member of the New Orleans Au­burn
Alumni Club and of Pi Gam­ma
Nu, national social science
fraternity.
Writer's Club to
Meet Next Monday
All Students Who Want
To Write May Join Club
The Writer's Club will hold its
second meeting of the month next
Monday night in Room 314, Sam-ford
Hall. The meeting will begin
at 7 p.m.
Membership in the Writer's
Club is open to any students or
townspeople who are interested in
writing. The only requirements of
members is that they write arti­cles
for presentation to the club
and offer criticism on each mem­ber's
papers.
The club meets every other
Monday night in the same room in
Samford. Paul McCormick of Au­burn
is president of the club and
Prof. J. T. Fain is faculty ad­viser
fo the organization.
The club was formed in the
spring of 1938 by a group of 18
students interested in writing.
First president of the organiza­tion
was John Godbold, last year's
editor of the Plainsman and at I
present enrolled in the Law School
at Harvard University.
A twice-yearly publication was
presented in 1939 by the club.
The booklet was entitled "The
Manuscript" and was edited by

Junior Staff Members
Will Publish Newspaper
In Absence of Seniors
Three members of the Plains­man
staff will leave on November
5 for Detroit to attend the annual
Associated Collegiate Press Con­vention
from November 7 through
November 9.
Those attending the convention
will be Dan Hollis, editor; W. G.
Darty, business manager; and
Frank Wilson, advertising man­ager.
During the absence of the
Plainsman heads, the editorial di­vision
of the paper will be handled
by Bob Anderson, managing ed­itor,
and Willard Hayes, associate
editor. The business division will
be supervised by Joe Gandy, as­sistant
advertising manager, and
Jimmy Rouse, office manager.
These junior members of the
staff will have the task of pub­lishing
the Homecoming issue.
Plans at present, according to the
junior members of the staff, call
for a 12-page issue. Circulation
for that issue will be about 10,-
000, in order that all visiting
alumni and friends of the college
may have an opportunity to re­ceive
a copy of the issue in addi­tion
to the student body.
At the convention in Detroit
whgre representatives from ap­proximately
500 of the nation's
outstanding college newspapers
will gather, a program of lectures
by prominent newspaper men and
publishers, round-table discussions
by the student representatives,
open forum discussions, and en­tertainment
features will highlight
the three-day conclave.

API Professor Gives
Paper at Textile
Meeting in New York
A technical paper, "A Simple
Apparatus for Testing Fireproof-ed
Fabrics," was delivered in New
York last week by Dr. Alfred R.
Macormac, associate professor of
textile chemistry at Auburn, at
the 20th annual meeting of the
American Association of Textile
Chemists and Colorists.
The paper was based on re­search
carried out at Auburn re­cently
for a master's thesis by
Mrs. Emily W. Akin and directed
by Dr. Macormac and Prof. Lily
H. Spencer.
While in New York, Dr. Macor-showing

Buddy McMahan, Captain of
Scabbard and Blade said that his
organization was considering the
sponsoring of a 12-gun artillery
salute just prior to the game or
at the half.
Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary,
said that all old grads had been
invited to attend Homecoming and
that class reunions would be held
for classes as far back as the
Class of 1890. A banquet for the
visiting alumni will be held from
11 until 12 a.m. on November 9.
Roy W. Moore, executive presi­dent
of Canada Dry Company and
a member of the Class of 1910
will be the principal speaker at
this banquet.
A reception will be held some­time
during the day at the Wom­en's
Social Center for visiting
alumnae, according to an an­nouncement
by Dr. Rosa Lee Wals-ton,
director of women students.
Mr. Sam Brewster, superintend­ent
of grounds and buildings, said
that the State Highway Patrol
would be here to handle the traf­fic
problem and that plenty of
parking space would be provided
for visitors. Parking areas will be
announced in a later issue of the
Plainsman. Brewster urged that
all students and faculty members
leave their cars at their homes and
walk to the game in order to pro­vide
more space for visitors.
A discussion followed on the
excusing of more classes for foot­ball
games, and on the playing of
more games in the Auburn Sta­dium.

Artillery Salute
Will Be Fired at
Homecoming Game
Clemson's Crack ROTC
Battery May Drill at
Homecoming Contest
Buddy McMahan, Captain of
Scabbard and Blade, stated earlier
this week that his organization
was working on the possibility of
a 12-gun artillery salute before
the Auburn-Clemson football game
at Homecoming on November 9 or
between halves of the game.
McMahan said that Col. J. J.
Waterman and Major H. F. Sea-wright
of the Military Department
had stated that they would assist
the honorary military group in the
staging of the salute.
There is also the possibility,
said McMahan, that a flagpole
may be erected for the raising of
"Old Glory" and the playing of
the "Star Spangled Banner" by
the Auburn Band immediately af­ter
the 12-gun salute, and just
prior to the opening of the clash
between these two southern
teams.
It has been suggested by Mr.
Sam Brewster, superintendent of
grounds and buildings, .that no
temporary bleachers be construct­ed
on the south side of the field,
in order that the guns may be
lined up there and fired, in view
of all those attending the game.
Col. Waterman and Major Sea-right
will assist in the drilling of
the gun crews for the firing of
the salute.
McMahan also announced that
an effort was being made to
bring the crack battery from
Clemson to Auburn to give an ex­hibition
before the game or dur­ing
the half. This military group
has given similar performances at
other games in which Clemson has
participated in throughout the

Classes Excused for Florida
And Villanova Football Games
Classes Will Not Be Excused for Contest
At Auburn Against Clemson on Nov. 9
Classes will be excused for two more football games
this season, the Florida game which has been moved to
Columbus, and the Villanova game which will be played
in Montgomery, according to a ruling made by the Ex­ecutive
Council last Tuesday morning. However, classes
will not be excused on Saturday for the Homecoming
game here against Clemson on November 9.
For the Florida game on November 30 and the Villa­nova
game on December 7 classes
will be excused all day Saturday.
These other two excused games
were granted by the Council fol­lowing
the request of several stu­dent
leaders for more excused
football games. The addition of
these two games to the list makes
a total of five games that students
may attend without using their
cuts—Howard, Georgia, Clemson,
Florida, and Villanova.
The Executive Council now has
under consideration a proposal by
this same group of student lead­ers
for a method in which stu­dents
may be excused for any
football game they wish to see
next year and in years following
if the plan is successful.
Under the new proposed plan,
a list of those students actually
attending football games can be
compiled from the tickets they
sign when buying tickets to at­tend
these games. This list would
be compiled by the Athletic De­partment
and sent to the Regis­trar's
Office where those students'
absences would be marked excused
for attendance at the game.

the games to do so at any time
they wish.

Saturday Classes
Fully Organized
Saturday classes for teachers are
now fully organized according to
an announcement this week by
Dean Zebulon Judd, of the School
of Education.
Teachers normally take two
courses, one in the morning from
9 until 12 and one in the after­noon
from 1 until 4 p.m. Six se­mester
hours credit are given for
the completion of these two
courses. Thus in two semesters, a
teacher miay earn a full summer
session load of credits.
One hundred and five teachers
have registered for Saturday
work. Fifty-six are graduate stu­dents
and the remainder are un­dergraduates.
These teachers come
from 19 counties over this state
and Georgia. Some of these teach­ers
drive more than 200 miles to
attend these Saturday classes.
Largest enrollment from any
county is from Chambers, border­ing
on Lee County, with 22 teach­ers
taking work on the Saturday
program. Six of the teachers are

Band Uniforms
That Great Auburn Band has always
been recognized by lovers of band music
as one of the greatest military bands in
the South. These people are not mistak­en
in their opinion of the members' abili­ty
to play beautiful music, but in one
phase of a military band's characteris­tics,
our band does not come up to the
expectations of the patroits of Auburn.
This one phase is the appearance of
the band when it is parading or when
it is playing before the crowds at football
games and other public occasions. By
saying appearance we do not mean the
members' ability to parade but the uni­forms
in which they are dressed. Other
than the military capes which they
wear, their uniforms are no different
from those of the other members of the
ROTC corps.
In the opinions of many people, the
band of a military corps should stand
out in that unit like a set stands out in
a ring. Many of the colleges and even
high schools of the South have a differ­ent
uniform for their band. As the ROTC
cadets at Auburn go a long way to­ward
purchasing their own uniform,
why aren't they allowed to have uni­forms
that will set them off from the
rest of the ROTC unit. If this were done
the appearance of the Auburn Band
would be just as fine as its music.
Members of our band prepare for the
same "war" classes as other cadets.
They also have to drill on Tuesdays and
Thursdays as do other batteries and
companies of the ROTC unit, and be­sides
that they spend much time prac­ticing
the formation of letters to be used
at football games, rehearsing, and play­ing
and parading at games.
If these bandsmen must do all of this
extra work, it seems only fitting that
they receive as a reward, the privilege
of wearing a uniform which will dis­tinguish
them from other Auburn cadets.
If the War Department of Auburn
should strive to carry out such a policy,
they would receive the backing of every
Auburn student as well as the support­ers
of the Auburn alumni. W.H.
(Explanation of Social
Committee Setup
Perhaps it is well at this time, as
Opening Dances are approaching, that
we explain the setup of the Social Com­mittee
for this year.
Let us first go back a few years to
1927. At that time the Social Committee
had made $1000 through its sets of big
dances on the campus. This money was
set up in the form of a scholarship loan
fund to worthy students. However, shortly
after this time, the Social Committee began
to lose money. This was due to improper
budgeting of expenditures by the com­mittee,
and thus the dances began to
lose money.
This situation continued for several
years until last year the Social Commit­tee
was in debt to the amount of $2300.
It was time the college did something to
relieve the situation, "and they did. The
Student Social Committee was placed
under the supervision of the college. The
college paid up the indebtedness of the
committee and gave the group a clean
slate to start this year on.
To supervise the expenditures of the
Social Committee, the college adminis­tration
set up a joint faculty-student fi­nance
board. This board now governs
all expenditures of the committee.
Through this means the college hopes
that the Social Committee can once
again be placed on a paying basis.
Another of the many faults under the
old system which the Social Committee
operated under, was the awarding of
passes to many students. Beginning with
this year, the Social Committee Finance
Board abolished all passes to the dances
sponsored by the committee. This should
bring in more revenue to the committee
and aid greatly in placing the committee
on a sound financial basis.
College underwriting of the commit­tee
will give the students an opportuni­ty
to show whether or not they wish to
have these sets of dances sponsored by
the Social Committee. If the dances
sponsored by the committee lose money
this year, the Social Committee will be
abolished and there will be no big sets
of dances at Auburn.
The college has set up a sound system
of governing the Social Committee. It is
now up to the students to go to the
dances and show the college that they
really do want to have these big sets of
dances. The price of the set tickets have
been reduced in the hope that more stu­dents
will be able to attend and in the
belief that even more revenue will re­sult
than if a higher price, as in previ­ous
years, was charged.
The Royal Air Force
Of Great Britain
The Royal Air Force of Great Britain
reminds us in many ways of our own
Auburn Tigers, although there may not
seem to be much connection between
the two gallant forces. Recently at the
local theatre, a March of Time feature
presented the RAF and its workings.
The RAF is composed of a group of
men who will undoubtedly go down in
history as the greatest force of fighting
men the world has ever known. This air
force shows the gallantry of Horatio at
the bridge. They show the fighting,
never-say-die spirit of those Great Au­burn
Tigers. Even when they may be
temporarily on the losing side, the mem­bers
of the RAF slash back with all the
fury of Mars himself and soon are again
on top of the heap.
Only this past week-end came the an­nouncement
that the zero hour for mass
RAF attacks on Berlin would be set
soon. The RAF is determined to make
those air raids on London look like a
Sunday School picnic. And just like we'd
bet our bottom dollar on those Auburn
Tigers, so we'll bet the shirt on our back
that the RAF will give Berlin something
to remember for a long time.
Watch Those Innocent
Traffic Violations
The Chief of Police of Auburn called
to our attention this week a very inter­esting
fact. All students who are detain­ed
by the police department for viola­tions
of any kind of city or State or­dinances
or laws are listed, along with
their specific violation, on the police
court books here at Auburn.
When these students apply for any
type of^government position, the govern­ment
writes back to the police depart­ment
at Auburn to ascertain if that stu­dent
has any sort of record on the books
of the police court. It does not matter
even if the violation is a simple traffic
ordinance violation, the government
takes that into consideration before giv­ing
the former student any position.
Chief Hawkins pointed out that the
government had often turned down
former students applying for positions
simply because of the fact that the stu­dent
had violated some simple traffic or­dinance.
It was explained that if the
government was not satisfied with the
report of the police department on the
student's record, that they would send
a representative to Auburn to personally
examine the books.
So here is a fair warning to all stu­dents
to abide by all laws and ordinances
set by the city and State.
Plains Talk—By Herbert Martin CAMPUS CAMERA
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the ed­itorial
policies of this paper.
For the benefit of those not
well versed on their Shakespeare­an
grammar who might have a bit
of difficulty keeping up with the
action in next week's production
of the "Taming of the Shrew" by
the Auburn Players, we herewith
and without further ado, notorie­ty,
or hamming, present our
streamlined, modern version of
the plot essentials of this famous
farce.
This is not to be construed as
the editorial policy of the Players,
who bring back the days of our
youth, young manhood, and vot­ing
days (we're giving Willkie
and eight states) with scenes that
place us back in the old Globe
Theatre.
* * *
Neither are we trying to im­prove
on the work of Bill. It's
just that the list of characters
sounds like a Swiss yodeler giv­ing
the chant of the tobacco auc­tioneer
in swing time, and with
men who know the actors best,
it's names ending in "io", two to
one. The "u" is missing from this
well-known abbreviation.
To make this preview a bit
simpler, we have discarded the
original names, and have substi­tuted
some less foreign to our
ears. Let us stress again that any
resemblance between this and
the real performance is purely
coincidental.
* * *
The story in brief . . .
Kitty, as ill-tempered a minx
as ever brought tears to the eyes
of the flower of European, Asia­tic,
or American youth, holds a
reputation of infamy for miles
around. All of this is pretty hard
on the fellers who go with her two
(we think there are two; at any
rate, two sweet and winsome lit­tle
girls make their appearances)
lil* sisters, Margie and Mabel. This
is principally because prevailing
custom prevents the marrying of
younger sistren until the eldest
catches herself a husband.
As Sadie Hawkins Day is not
accepted as good taste in this
land, and, as if 'twere, men would
outdo themselves escaping from
this horrible fate, the situation
looks pretty hopeless.
* * *
This hopeless look is the cue for
the hero to enter. The hero, a
masterful villain who looks so
tough we don't doubt that he
uses a riveting hammer for a
tooth-pick, has a name which
sounds like a mouthful of pea­nuts.
We'll just call him Mike.
* * *
Mike proceeds, for reasons
known only to himself, to woo the
fair damsel. He tells her that they
are to be married Sunday, where­upon
she replies that she'd "much
rather see him hanged Sunday!"
Touched by this tender speech,
Mike takes her in his arms, at
severe danger to his physical per­son.
Notwithstanding her v e ry
unsubtle objections, plans are
made for the wedding.
* * *
Mike shows up late at the wed­ding,
the picture of gentlemanly
grace in an old suit which he
wears to fire the furnace on cold
winter mornings. He carries on
rather disgracefully at the wad­ding,
but nobody blames him, see­ing
the bargain he has made for
himself. Karrie, we beg your par­don,
Kitty doesn't like this a lit­tle
bit, but her turn is coming.
* * *
Proving that chivalry is not yet
dead, Mike takes the lassie home
and starves her until she becomes
a little less unmanageable. Aid­ing
and abetting in this breaking
of a proud spirit are sleepless
nights. Swearing that no wife of
his shall sleep on such an ill-made
bed, Mike tears up the bed, and
walks the floor swearing all night,
thereby preventing even a small
doze on her part.
He's a fairly successful cuss,
but just how successful, we do
not feel at liberty to disclose. Will
she give in and be a sweet-temp­ered
bride? Will she poison him
in his sleep? Will it come to light
that he is already married, and
that Kitty doesn't have to put up
with this dog's life?
For the next episode in this
exciting adventure, see the "Tam­ing
of the Shrew" at your local
playhouse next Wednesday or
Thursday night.
Karrie, the Kampus Kopywriter,
kopywrites the score from our
forecasting files for the game in
Atlanta tomorrow. Says Karrie,
"I've been laughing at that pre­dicting
for some time, but I at
last realize that you have some­thing
there. I heartily concur in
your opinion this week. The score
will undoubtedly be Auburn 53,
Georgia Tech 6."

Editor's Note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the ed­itorial
policies of this paper.
Next month eight amendments
to the Alabama Constitution are
to be voted on; and embedded
among seven acceptable amend­ments
is Amendment Number 2,
which is dangerous to the schools
of Alabama.
Briefly, Amendment Number 2
would abolish the Public Schools
Corporation which the Legislature
established in 1939 to borrow
money to meet current teacher
pay rolls and later to retire the
loans with school tax receipts;
and the amendment would further
empower the Governor to obtain
loans for any State purpose and
to pledge any or all of the State
revenues for the retirement of the
loans.
The Public Schools Corporation
can borrow as much as 90 per
cent of uncollected school reve­nue,
and the proposed amendment
would reduce this figure to 30
per cent. Teacher pay rolls, al­ready
so small and uncertain,
probably could not be met at all
at times.
Having the entire State reve­nues
at his disposal for retiring
loans, the Governor might use
school money to pay the debts of
other departments. The schools, as
you know, usually find it impos­sible
to pay their own bills; and
diversion of school funds would
sap the schools to the breaking
point.
The Lee County Bulletin points
out also that Auburn, being a
State college, might suffer in still
another way. It is probable that
building on the campus would be
all but stopped because if more
than 30 per cent of uncollected
revenue were required for the
construction of a new building,
the building could not be built,
since Amendment Number 2 would
prohibit the necessary borrowing.
* * *
My friends have called me an
old - fashioned mossback during
bursts of criticism-for-my-own-good,
so perhaps my opinions on
our dances and the stuff we dance
to are not very general. I think
the music played for our dances
is eminently unsuited for dances.
I refer, of course, to the "Boogie-
Woogie" school, the voo-doo spec­ials,
with their jungle rhythms
deafening discordant chords. If
our dances were held around bon­fires
and everybody came dressed
in a breech clout and wearing a
bone in his nose, the music might
be appropriate.
* * *
Oscar Levant, as lie reveals
himself in "A Smattering of Ig­norance,"
is decidedly a queer
duck, although one gets the im­pression
that Oscar rather enjoys
being a queer duck. Oscar views
most things with distaste and
George Gershwin with idolatry.
His book is a string of anecdotes
about musicians, most of which
add to the general belief that
musicians are slightly wild and
possibly dangerous.
* * *
Obscure words hold a fascina­tion
for me. A new favorite I
found in Levant's book: "otiose,"
meaning unemployed.
* * *
I often regret losing certain
childish joys. Not the least of
these is the delicious feeling com­pounded
of relief and guilt I used
to get from a little mild cussing.
There was once a day when I
could say "Damn!" and feel like
a man about it.
* * *
I see by the papers and the
thousands of policemen lurking
about the town that there is a
traffic safety drive in progress.
I resent being coerced (yes, I got
fined!) even by so commendable
a project as traffic safety, especi­ally
since I can remember when
there was not enough to traffic
in Auburn to warrant its being
safe. After a hundred years or
so of freedom on the streets, this
abrupt if necessary reform is ir­ritating.
Besides, I firmly believe
that these cops derive—other than
what little money I have to con­tribute
— a sort of Mephistopho-lian
glee from the open season on
motorists.

Fighting Spirit of Plainsmen
Atlanta (AP) —. In Southern
football two things are as sure as
death and taxes. One is the re­sourcefulness
of C o a c h Jack
Meagher and the other is the reso­lute-
spirit, year-in and year-out,
of his Auburn Tigers.
- They are as traditional as grits
and ham gravy, or chittlin's and
crackling bread. Auburn has nev­er
gone undefeated since the
Southeastern Conference was
formed in 1933, but no opponent
ever made the mistake of book­ing
Meagher and his Tigers as a
set-up. And mighty few set-ups
ever find their way into a Meagher
schedule. Jack believes in playing
big leagu« football, not spotted
here and there in the season but
every week. And he says the boys
like it.
A native of Chicago, Meagher
—he pronounces his name "Marr"
— attended Notre Dame three
years and played two years as a
regular end on the Irish football
team. He came to Auburn in 1934
by way of St. Edwards of Austin,
Tex., and Rice Institute where he
was head coach. Previously—from
1917 to 1921—he served in the
Marine Corps, rising from private
to captain.
If Meagher was a worrying
coach, he likely would have fret­ted
himself frantic that first year.
The 1934 season wound up with
Auburn on the long end of the
score only twice in 10 games.
Even little Birmingham-"Southern
beat the Tigers that year, along
with Tulane, Louisiana State, Ken­tucky,
Vanderbilt, Florida and
Georgia. Auburn turned back only
Oglethorpe and Georgia Tech —
and that was the season Tech lost
nine straight.
But Meagher wasn't licked, and
neither were the Tigers. He came
back in 1935 with one of the best
teams in Auburn's recent history,
licking eight opponents and losing
to two—Tennessee and Kentucky.
His boys rolled up 201 points
against 46 for their foes.
In 1936 he had another good
year, seven wins, two defeats and
two ties, and in 1937 the Tigers
took five, lost two and tied three.
Most exasperating series was that
with Tulane, when the Tigers bat­tled
the Green Wave to a score­less
tie three years in a row —
1936-38.
Last year Tulane finally won
12-0, Georgia Tech beat Auburn
7-6, and Tennessee earned a bruis­ing
decision, 7-0. All three were
post season bowl nominees. The
Tigers took Mississippi State,
LSU, and Georgia, tied Florida
7-7.
This y e a r another typical
Meagher team is at work. Threat­ened
with defeat by powerful Mis­sissippi
State, the Tigers came
back with a 74-yard drive in the
last quarter to tie the score. Pre­viously,
Auburn had squared ac­counts
with Tulane, trouncing the
Greenies 20-14.
Whether the soft-spoken coach
and his boys can stop eight more
top-ranking opponents — includ­ing
Georgia Tech, Georgia, Clem-son,
LSU, Boston College, Florida
and Villanova—worries everyone
but Meagher. He's taking them as
they come.
All together the Tigers have
won 38 games since 1933, includ­ing
23 league contests, and lost
29 of which 18 were conference
defeats. Eight games—have gone
to ties, six of them league en­counters.
Auburn's overall point
total is 908 against 557 for the
opposition, conference foes yield­ing
480 points and scoring 337 in
return.

ran away from home when he was
eleven years old and joined a cir­cus
then traveling Europe, acting
as acrobat during the shows and
playing his cornet in the parade.
For two years he cavorted through
the air on the trapeze, tumbling
and jumping over elephants, and
other various antics of the circus
tent. But a fateful day arrived
when in jumping he met with an
accident and walked over two hun­dred
miles to his home town, inci­dentally
quitting forever the cir­cus
life.
Less than six months after leav­ing
the circus, Kryl was on his way
to America, paying for his pass­age
by playing the violin in the
orchestra of the ship. Some ten
years later Sousa heard of a
young cornetist who was working
as a sculptor at Crawfordsville,
Indiana, engaged in doing a like­ness
of Ben Hur, and hearing
him play persuaded him to lay
d(5wn the chisel and become cor­net
soloist with his band. A few
years under Sousa and other not­ed
bandmasters young Kryl was
ready to take his place with his
symphonic band in the halls of
music throughout America. En­gagements
were held for three
weeks at a time in Chicago, Phil­adelphia,
St. Louis and Cincinnati,
as well as the yearly tours when
he crossed and re-crossed the con­tinent
playing to packed houses.
In the personal make-up of the
man, there is found the rare grace
which accompanies every move­ment
on the stage; there is the
unforgetable head crowned with
tawny yellow hair, and the blue
eyes which flash fire or twinkle
and which makes one think of sun
playing on falling rain, especially
when his orchestra does something
that calls forth unusual approval,
or when he is recounting his days
back in Bohemia with the circus.
Kryl and his famous symphony
orchestra of 50 will be heard here
in Graves Center on December 3.

A letter was received by Pres.
L. N. Duncan this week from a
former Alabama boy who is now
in Honolula, Hawaii. The boy's
name is W. V. Peeke. He wishes
to correspond with students from
Auburn.
His address is Eleventh Signal
Corps, Schofield Barracks, Hono­lula,
Hawaii. He is a member of
the United States Air Force at
that post.
Peeke says in his letter that he
"will try in every way to tell stu­dents
many things of the Hawaii­an
Islands that they have never
heard." Peeke was formerly em­ployed
by the Alabama Farm Bu­reau
during 1934-36.

There is nothing that arouses

such fury as critical statements
in the American press, he declares.
They no longer care what Anthony
Eden, Winston Churchill, or Duff
Cooper have to say, but "when
Ickes makes a speech, they go
crazy."
He adds however, that the Fas­cist
campaign of hate against
America is matched by another
campaign by t h e democratic
states, intended to drag us into
war on their side when war again
breaks out. There is no moral rea­son
why the United States should
be dragged into the general Eu­ropean
conflict that he believes to
be inevitable, but he predicts that
this country will be drawn in soon­er

War, through trade committments

holds the spotlight in the
Southeastern Conference, several
other games of interest will be
played by members of the Confer­ence.
Tennessee's undefeated Vols
will risk their undefeated record
against Florida at Knoxville. The
Vols should have no trouble with
Florida, but they will be minus the
services of their star tailback,
Bobby Foxx, and Jim Coleman,
stellar tackle. However, the Vols
will meet with a fine passing at­tack
against Florida who whipped
Maryland last Saturday, 19-0.
Undefeated Kentucky, tied by
Vanderbilt, will clash with Geor­gia's

Athens tonight in the first game
played under the arcs at the Bull­dog's
home field. Last week Ken­tucky
walloped George Washing­ton
24-0, and Georgia fell be­fore
Columbia, 19-13.
LSU will meet Vanderbilt in
another conference contest at
Baton Rouge. LSU whipped Mer­cer
20-0 in last Saturday's game.
Tulane and Mississippi State go
out of the conference to meet
Southern Conference foes. The
Greenies will tackle North Caro­lina

it is a real, old-fashioned

occurs in Universal's

Deanna was screen-kissed for
the first time in "First Love." It

known as the man who first
kissed the young star. That kiss­ing
took place a few seasons ago
and since that time, Deanna has

Soph Sensation Tallies
18 Points in 4 Contests
Leading Auburn's v e r s a t i l e
backfield in scoring for this sea­son
is Billy Yearout, the Tiger's
sophomore sensation who is bid­ding
strongly as the. outstanding
sophomore of the Southeastern
Conference. Yearout has scored
three touchdowns for a total of
18 points against four opponents.
In second place in the Plains­men's
scoring parade is Captain
Dick McGowen with one touch­down
and six extra points for a
total of 12 points.
The remaining Tiger points are
divided between seven players.
Tackle John Chalkley has one
touchdown, ends Babe McGehee,
Teedy Faulk, and Jim Samford
have one touchdown each, and
backs Lloyd Cheatham and Rufus
Deal have tallied six points each.
Buddy McMahan has kicked one

But'this time the man on the
firing line is Bob Cummings and
the kissing is for keeps.

that Deanna is old enough to play
romantic roles.

December II Is New
Date for ODK Race
Tribute Will Be Paid to Hutsell at Race
For Work at API as Track Coach, Trainer
The annual ODK Cake Race will hereafter be known
as the Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race, according to a state­ment
issued this week by Omega Circle of Omicron Delta
Kappa, sponsors of the race.
The race was dedicated by ODK to Coach Wilbur Hut­sell,
"because of his many years of unequalled service to
Auburn as track coach and trainer of API's athletic
squads."
Coach Hutsell came to Auburn
nineteen years ago, in 1921. His
official title is that of Professor
of Physical Education and Track
Coach, but his duties include the
training and care of all Auburn's
athletes.
ODK will present an award to
Coach Hutsell on Cake Race Day,
the date of which has been chang­ed
this year to December 11.
The Cake Race, which was first
held in Auburn in 1930, was insti­tuted
by Dr. Charles Davis, of
the Department of History, who
was then president of the Auburn
chapter of ODK. Dr. Davis con­ceived
the idea of the event from
a similar race then held annually
at Georgia Tech.
The course of the race to be
followed on December 11 will be
the same one which has been
used for several years. It runs
through the city of Auburn for
2.7 miles, starting on the "Rat
Football Field" and ending on
Drake Field.
All freshmen registered in
ROTC are required to participate
in the annual event.
The winner of th.e race will be
presented a huge cake, a 1944
numeral sweater, and a month's
free pass to the Tiger Theatre,
in addition to other valuable
prizes to be given by various lo­cal
merchants. Next twenty-four
freshmen to cross the finish line
will each receive smaller cakes,
and the second man to come in a
week's pass to the Tiger.
The fraternity having the low­est
four-man total, that is, the
first four pledges to finish in the
race, will receive a large loving-cup,

now a member of the track team,
who is a local boy. Ball's time for
the 2.7 mile run was 14:05.6. This

Top of Week's Ratings
Notre Dame, awesome in its 61-

Tech, climbed into first place in
Williamson's weekly football rat­ing
and took second position in
the Associated Press ranking. The
Irish used 67 men, over six full
teams, in accomplishing the rout,
the most impressive show of pow­er
yet shown by a college team
this year.
Cornell, 33-6 winner over Syra­cuse,
stayed close behind the
Ramblers as judged by William­son,
while the AP poll selected
the Big Red as the national lead­er
for the third consecutive week.

Tigers to Tackle Tough Tech Team Tomorrow
TIGER TALES
By "BOOTS" STRATFORD
BOOTS•SZRArFbliD
That much disputed play in the SMU game on which
Deal plunged 12 yards for a touchdown that was called
back has been laid to rest. It was thought that the off-
, _ side penalty was called against Auburn's
right end but according to Coach Jeff
Beard's pictures of the game, the Tiger
right tackle was the offender, and he was
clearly offside.
However, Foots Clements in his capa­city
as umpire was exceeding his authority
in calling the play for he is not in a posi­tion
on the field to judge such an infraction
of the rules which is the headlinesman's
job.
Perhaps it's by a peculiar chain of co­incidences,
but Mr. Clements does seem to get in our hair
at the most irritating times.
The team thought the Mustangs were mighty lucky
to win that ball game and Matty Bell's boys must have
been thoroughly relieved when the final whistle sent an
enthralled crowd home; those gallant Tigers didn't have
quite time enough.
* * *
Perusing the Atlanta papers for the past week,
we notice that the sports scribes of the Journal, Cons­titution,
et als, are up to their same old trick of mak­ing
Tech the underdog in print. It's the same cry
over and over again, "Pore little ol' Tech is all bruised
up from their last titanic struggle. Ten first string
players will see only momentary service." And on
far into the night. When actually Tech has beaten
the fire out of somebody the previous Saturday and
the whole first string team will play the whole game.
The Yellow Jackets sorely miss the field general­ship
of Howard Ector but they still possess enough
gridiron magic to give any team you could name a
bad case of jitters for four quarters. Auburn has been
the only team to stop the multiple reverses and their
predecessor, the razzle dazzle, with any degree of
success. The men of Alexander have been able to
score only one T.D. in each of the past two frays with
the Plainsmen, but that was enough to win by one
point in both instances, the score reading 7-6 for two
straight years.

The Orange and Blue will also have a few parlor
tricks up its sleeve to shoot at the Men of the Flats. One
new play in particular should go well. It's run from the
T-formation without shifting and where the ball ends up
will be a mystery to most of the people in the stands and
to the Tech team, we hope. Watch for it—it's a slick one.

In Steel Bowl
Announcement was received in
Auburn yesterday that an effort
was being made in Birmingham
for an annual Steel Bowl football
game to be played at Legion Field
on New Year's Day.
A Magic City promoter, W. F.
Hawie appeared before the Park
and Recreation Board of that city
and asked that it "endorse" a
game between Auburn and Missis­sippi
State for this New Year's
Day. Auburn and State played to
a 7-7 tie at Legion Field two
weeks ago.
It was stated by the Birming­ham
promoter that he had written
to the Mississippi State coaches
about the proposal and that they
had replied that they would be
"glad to cooperate."
The Recreation Board is inves­tigating
the possibilities of such a

in a series dating to 1892 and the
thirty-fifth consecutive annual
game. Auburn holds a 23 to 17
edge in games won during the
rivalry, three having ended in
deadlocks. The last Plainsmen vic­tory
was in 1937 by a 21-0 count;
since then the Jackets have twice
won 7-6.
Auburn will go into the game
without the service of Chet Bul­ger,
220-pound left tackle. Bulger,
according to a Wednesday report,
is a victim of Brill's fever and
will be lost for the remainder of
the season.
Georgia Tech has returned from
its 21-7 Orange Bowl win over
Missouri and Paul Christman with
a team sufficiently exemplary of
last season's hide and go seek edi­tion
to keep any coaching staff
up nights. Thus far they have
slammed Howard, 27-0, lost to
Notre Dame, 20-26, and beaten
Vanderbilt, 19-0.
Diminutive Johnny Bosch and
All-Conference Bob Ison again
lead the Tech eleven in its famed
routine of ball handling contor­tions.
No one who witnessed last
year's Tech-Auburn struggle has
forgotten the one man show put
on by Bosch at the right halfback
post, while Ison will long stand
game and an attempt will be
made to get the influence of the
Quarterback Club behind the idea.
out for his all around end play
which has placed him in a bracket
with Elrod of Mississippi State as
one of the South's great flankers.
"Cowboy Shaw," who last year
kicked out the Tigers with his af­ter
touchdown conversion, will be
back at a backfield post and
Beers, Cavette, and Webb, all
familiar names of last year, still
appear in prominent places on the
program.
For the first time of the season
the Engineers will take the field
in full strength. Up till now in­juries
at key positions have ham­pered
the mystic attack so char­acteristic
of Georgia Tech, but to­morrow
is almost certain to see
Goree and Pair available for at
least part time activity as ball
carriers.
Auburn comes back hard from
20-13 beating by SMU's Mustangs
with added attention directed at
a backfield that has yet to be
shackled. The usual foursome con­sisting
of McGowen, Happer,
Cheatham, and Deal will open,
but Jack Meagher will draw heav­ily
from Bud Wendling, Bill Year-out,
Monk Gafford, Jim Reynolds,
Buddy McMahan, and Ty Irby, all
of whom are now seasoned backs.
Many eyes will be trained on
Yearout, sophomore halfback who
last week led the Plainsmen to
both second-half scores against
Southern Methodist.

Coed Finds Miss Jepson's Wardrobe
'Exquisite', 'Beautiful', 'Charming'
S i n g e r L i k e s C o l l e ge
I n f l u e n c e on C l o t h es
By MARY DEAN FRENCH
What a thrill t o ' have inter­viewed
Helen Jepson, glamorous
Metropolitan Opera soprano, who
appeared in concert here Wednes­day
evening! I found her to be
tall, finely formed and slender,
the ideal figure for prevailing
modes. Being asked why many
prima donnas of an earlier epoch
strongly resembled parlor sofas,
her answer was "Most of them
were fat from laziness and lack
of will power."
The next query was put on
dress. "I spend a lot of time on
clothes," she answered, "not to
have them fussy, far from it. But
appearance is important. If one
sings, one must try to look well.
The quality of clothes is, to me,
of greater value than their quan­t
i t y ; color and line must be in­spired
by the best taste one can
muster."
"Jewelry is something to be
worn sparingly, and above all, a
woman should know where and
when not to wear it. If I read of
a woman who has worn a hun­dred
thousand dollars worth of
jewelry to a race track or down­town
shopping, and then has it
stolen, I always think, 'How much
nicer she will look now without
it.' There are times and places
where good taste dictates where
jewelry should be worn; not to
have that kind of taste is a mis­fortune.
"No matter how decided my
own ideas may be about designs
for gowns, I think it wiser to go
on with an open mind to a pro­fessional
designer, and talk things
over. Then one is more likely to
get the proper balance."
This was modest coming from
Miss Jepson. She is considered to
be one of the best dressed women
found and known to be a genius
at planning clothes. This was
proven to be t r u e to form. Upon
her arrival, she wore a green suit
with a red and green plaid jacket
and a novel hat. It was a feature
from Vogue—red felt brim with
a crocheted crown, topped by a
red felt bow. P r e t t y chic, I'd say.
To obtain a collegiate look while
in Auburn, "Miss Jepson told us/
she felt that she just had to let)
her hair down at the sides, and
put a perky little green bow in
the top. Even our coeds didnft
recognize her when she was stroll­ing
up town Wednesday morp-ing.
:et\
I had the pleasure of "peepinj:
at some of her wardrobe. Amor g
the more elaborate things was tl e
most gorgeous "collection" of fu^s
my eyes have witnessed. My fav­orite
was a silver fox jacket, s^>
"downy", it felt as though
might have been "the l i t t le jacke
what wasn't there." She had a ^Terrace,
short white ermine and long brown
mink. She had just recently pur­chased
a swanky looking black hat
with a yellow feather at the side
and a long black feather doing a
rolly-coster at the back.
Of course, I had to ask her
opinion of the American designers
as compared to t h e foreign design­ers.
She said, very definitely, that
she did not believe we Americans
were missing any of the Parisian
modes this year. She has seen two
New York showings this fall and
has come to the conclusion that
America can create their own
ideas. She firmly believes that
John Frederick's hats cannot be
excelled.
Today, Miss Jepson's greatest
extravagance is clothes, which she
chooses with exquisite taste and
wears with heart-breaking ease.
At the concert she was exquis­itely
gowned in a Grecian model
of heavy eggshell crepe with a
shoulder drape clipped at the neck
with rhinestones and hanging
nearly to the floor trimmed in
tails of mink. Rhinestone brace­lets
and earbobs added more spar­kle
to her gown and enhanced the
beauty of her blond, luxuriant
hair, and eloquent brown eyes.

The Auburn cross country team
ill leave Friday at 12:51 p.m.
by train for Atlanta for a dual
meet with Georgia Tech, accord­ing
to Coach W. H. Hutsell. The
t e am will r e t u r n on the special
t r a i n leaving Atlanta at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday.
Members of the team who will
make the trip are James Cagle,
Captain, John C. Ball, James
Holley, James Robinson, Robert
Hints, and Herbert Morgan. These
men are requested to check with
Sgt. Murphy for meet uniforms
and sweat shirts.
During the stay in Atlanta,
headquarters for the cross coun­t
r y alumni will be a t the Georgian
Engineer Seminars
(Continued from page 1)
Status of the Seminar
To clear up some existing con­fusion
regarding the Seminar the
Engineers' Council announces the
following regulations:
1. Seminar is a required elec­tive
for all engineering students
which means that every student
in the School of Engineering, in­cluding
aeronautical administra­tion,
is automatically registered
for the course, while agricultural
and chemical engineers and chem­istry
students may elect the
course.
2. One-third credit hour is giv­en
each semester for Seminar.
3. Four Seminars will be held
per semester for each group.

4. Regular cut percentage holds
so that one unexcused absence is
the maximum allowable.
5. Roll will be checked at each
Seminar and absences posted lat­er
so that any mistakes may be
corrected before the course is
dropped automatically with grade
of zero.
6. Credit for Seminar will be
cumulative; that is, seniors will be
given the sum of their Seminar
credit-hours for their last semes­t
e r (2% hours for eight semes­t
e r s attendance), on the basis of
their general average.
r Tales
(CoTl till fled from page 7)
We don't know which we a r e (we
can hear the cracks already) but
here goes:
AUBURN-GEORGIA TECH:
The Techs rule as favorites but
their gridiron tricks have never
had much effect against the
Men of Meagher so we pick the
Orange and Blue and its slash­ing
attack to end a two year
one point jinx and take the
Jackets by something like 27-
13.
TENNESSEE-FLORIDA: The
Vols are well nigh invincible and
besides Florida is never any good
against anybody except Auburn.
Tennessee, 33-6.
GEORGIA - KENTUCKY: A«
the long shot of the day we pick
the Bulldogs over the 'Cats of
Ole Kaintuck. The Red and
Black should be plenty mad
over being beaten by Columbia
by a lateral pass that was prov­ed
to have traveled forward af­ter
pictures of the game were
viewed. Those s o p h o m o r e s
should be about ready to get
hot, too.
LSU-VANDY: Vanderbilt has
been beaten by Georgia Tech and
LSU by Mississippi, both South­eastern
topnotchers so there is
little to choose between here. So
we'll call it a tie, and, incidental­ly,
call it a day.

1 Auburn's ball, first down. The
ball is snapped and the mighty
Auburn team forges across the
goal for another score. And so it
went, back in the year 1894, as
Auburn rolled up a 96 to 0 score
over t h e Yellowjackets from Geor­gia
ITech.
T lat was the second game play­ed
between these two mighty
gridiron rivals. Auburn had de­feated
Tech two years previously
> 0. Since then the two teams
met thirty-nine times with
Auliurn rolling up a total of 635
points to Tech's 408.
Tech also had her end of high
fcores, defeating the Tigers in
1917, 68-7, and in 1928, 51-0. In
1923 both teams played to the
only 0 to 0 t ie in this long series.
In 1935 and 1936 the Tigers
seemed to like repetition, so they
downed Tech 33-7 both years.
Then in 1938 and 1939 Tech came
back and for two years has held
Auburn in check with 7-6 scores.
Auburn played nine games with
Tech before the Rambling Wrecks
26 t
have
could manage to eke out a win.
In the first six of those games
Tech couldn't even score, while
Auburn ran wild, but in 1906
Tech shellaced the Tigers 11-0.
Since then it has been nip and
tuck with each team hitting win­ning
and losing streaks. From
1920 to 1931 Tech won nine of
the eleven games with the other
two ending in ties. Tiger stock
was very low during that ten year
period.
Saturday the Tigers invade At­lanta
to do battle again and this
year they're out to do away with
this 7-6 jinx which Tech holds.

" T r a v i a t a . " There was no doubt
that ninety per cent of the listen­ers
preferred this to anything
else, but because it had brought
a rare and perfect moment the
audience accepted it as a satis­fying
conclusion; whereas after
any other number they would
have clamored for other encores.
Miss Jepson's entire performance
was a splendid example of that
discipline which art alone can
give.
We were thoroughly grateful
for the skilled and sensitive ac­companiment
of Mr. Robert Wall-enborn
who also carried that part
of the program which allowed
Miss Jepson the necessary respite
during the evening.
