Seniors Hold Class
Meeting Tonight
To Discuss Plans for
Dance and Barbecue
The Senior Class will meet to­night
at 8 o'clock to discuss plans
for the Senior Dance, to be held
later in the Spring, according to
an announcement made yesterday
by Sam Pettus, class president.
Pettus stated that upon the can­cellation
of the Senior Ball, the
traditional set of final dances held
on the campus, because of lack of
student support of previous tlance
sets, there was some discussion of
the possibilities of a senior dance
to take its place.
Tentative plans for this dance
are for it to be held on any one
night, for a local orchestra to fur­nish
the music, and for only seniors
to be allowed to attend.
Plans are being considered, ac­cording
to Pettus, *to have a barbe­cue
in connection with the dance,
upon the same day.
Tonight's class meeting will be
for the purpose of consideration of
final plans for the dance. There
are several arrangements to be
made, stated Pettus. Seniors will
be given a chance to offer their
ideas on the problems which con­cern
the dance.
Arrangements will be made at
the meeting for the selection of an
orchestra. The plans for the bar­becue,
as yet tentative, will be dis­cussed.
The question of allowing
underclassmen to attend the dance
will be considered.
As yet the date for the dance
has not been set. Seniors tonight
will discuss possible open dates on
the social calendar at any one of
which times the dance might be
held. ,
Possibilities of advance ticket
sales for the dance and barbecue
will be discussed.
Pettus yesterday urged that "all
seniors attend the meeting tonight,
as this dance will not be possible
without your full cooperation".

Chi Epsilon Taps
Four Men in Civil
Engineering School
Perry, Phipps, Smith,

Chi Epsilon, honorary civil en­gineering
fraternity, last week
tapped four men from the ranks
of the junior civil engineering stu­dents
here at Auburn. They are
Zac Perry, J. M. Phipps, A. M.
Smith, and R. C. Stanfield, Jr.
These men were chosen after
the 'chapter had considered them
both from a standpoint of schol­arship
and leadership. Three of
the four are fraternity men, and
all of them hold other honorary
positions.
James Zachry Perry is from
Montgomery. He is president of
the Sigma Nu fraternity and a
member of ASCE.
John M. Phipps is an out of
state boy, from Natchez, Missis­sippi.
He is a member of the Sig­ma

Young Men's, and Women's, Fancies
Lightly Turn to Spring Holidays
Four Whole Days of
Vacation Are Welcomed
By HERBERT MARTIN
Spring Holidays will begin im­mediately
after final classes to­morrow,
and students will have
three' days to condition themselves
for various hunts, Easter eggs in­cluded,
which will take up time
formerly devoted to classes until
next Monday morning at eight.
Alabama highways, and those of
the nation as a whole, will be
filled to the brim with Auburn
students traveling the way Au­burn
students travel, and war hats
will make this county look like
"M" Day in the Great Smokies,
as the uniforms of many will go
no further down than the neck.
Speaking of necks, it is thought
that that popular outdoor, indoor,
and in the lobby sport will serve
its part in the recreation of jaded
bodies and minds, and students,
wherever they may be, from Maine
to California's sunny slopes, will
return Monday ready for any
eventuality in the way of classes,
studying, or quizzes.
Popular pastime of giving last-minute
quizzes has become even
more unpopular than ever before,
and it is hoped fervently that none
will greet the rested student as he
returns feebly.
This is the third year that the
privilege of a spring vacation has
been granted Auburn students,
and those who survived those of
last year will never forget them.
Although a fatiguing rest period
in the spring is said to make the
student fit for more work and a
hospital ward, there are those who
claim it is more than beneficial.
This "more than" is thought to be
no great exaggeration.
And there are those who plan
to stay here and study and there
are those who plan to take a text­book
or three home to study. The
net and nil results of these types
will be the same, no matter what
the plan of procedure. There are
always much more attractive
things to do than the things you
should do, and these have priority.
Never let it be said that work
makes Auhurn students dull boys.
Monday Designated
Pan-American Day
Minutes of Executive Cabinet Meeting
Of April 3 Are Presented to Students
Group Accepts Report
Of Election Committee
(Editor's Note: By requirement
of the constitution, minutes of the
Student Executive Cabinet's meet­ings
must be printed in the Plains­man.
The following are the minu­tes
of the last cabinet meeting,
held the day before election. In­cluding
in these minutes was the
report of the elections committee
on the subject of the withdrawal
of two candidates from the elec­tions.
This report has already been
printed in the Plainsman, and
consequently does not appear
here.)
The Executive Cabinet met at
11:00 a.m April 2, in the office
of the Cabinet in the Student
Center.
President Jim King called the
meeting to order, and the regular
business of the cabinet was car-
' ried out.
The report of the Elections
Committee as to the withdrawal
of two candidates from tomor­row's
race was read. The report
also contained a reprimand of six
other candidates. (The report fol­lowed.)
The Elections Committee re­ported
verbally that Judge Sam-ford
of Opelika had been consult­ed
in regard to the matter of
forcing the aforementioned candi­dates
to withdraw. Judge Samford
stated that the six candidates oth­er
than the two who had been
asked to withdraw were legally
not guilty of violation of the "let­ter
of the law" of the constitu­tion,
and therefore could not be
prosecuted.
He stated that the second group
of candidates did not violate the
constitution, but the "spirit of the
constitution."
Bob Anderson moved that the
Cabinet adopt the decision of the
Elections Committee. Jim Morgan
seconded the motion. The Cabi­net
unanimously passed the mo­tion.
The Cabinet voted to attempt a
revision of the constitution so as
to remove any loopholes or pre­vent
any confusion as had occur­red
in the electioning of candi­dates.
No further business b e i ng
brought before the Cabinet, Jim
King called for an ' adjournment.

Students Who Are Twenty-one Years of
Age This Year Are to Be Honored at 11 a.m.
Citizenship Day will be held for the second time to­morrow
in honor of those students who have become 21
years of age this year. The citizenship program will be
held at 11 a.m. at Graves Center for the purpose of in­ducting
those students of voting age into the body politic.
The local program is only one of many being held this
week, April 7 through 11, in Alabama and is part of a
nationwide plan to impress upon those people, just reach­ing
their 21st year, the importance
Auburn Greeks
Attend Conference
Last Week, Atlanta
Conference Held on
Georgia Tech Campus
Several of Auburn's fraterni­ty
men journeyed to Atlanta this
past week-end to attend the Un­dergraduate
Interfraternity Con­ference
which was held during
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The Conference was held in order
to familiarize the fraternity lead­ers
of next year with the prob­lems
which are confronting the
fraternities today.
The Conference officially began
Thursday afternoon with an as­sembly
in the Main Chapel of
Georgia Tech. Several different
talks were given by prominent
members of nationally known fra­ternities.
Ham Douglas began the
series of lectures at three o'clock
with a talk to the Presidents of
the undergradute societies. A short
talk was given to the House Man­agers
by Marcus E. Sharpe and
at 3:40, following this, J. Russell
Easton lectured to the Treasurers
which were present. At four
o'clock the Dean of Men at the
University of North Carolina, C.
L. Cloyd, gave an interesting talk
on rushing. Then Irving Klepper
spoke on Pledge Training and the
program ended with the announce­ments
by Dr. Pierce Harris at
4:40.
Thursday night Dr. Freeman H.
Hart talked to the general assem­bly
on "The Heritage of Frater­nity
Friendship."
On Friday individual confer­ences
were held in several rooms
on the Tech campus for the bene­fits
of the different officers pres­ent.
Friday evening Dr. Hubert Po-teat
gave a talk entitled "The
Great Task."
(Continued on page 6)
of voting and taking an active
part in the- government of their
nation.
Mrs. Florence M. Showalter,
secretary of correspondence study
and chairman of the local Citizen
ship Day, reported, "It is my be
lief that students in high school
get a greater training and im­pression
on the importance of
voting and taking a part in their
government than do the students
in college. This is the reason for
sponsoring the Citizenship Day at
Auburn."
Tomorrow members of Sphinx,
Cardinal Key, Owls and Oracles
will be stationed over the campus
from eight to 11 o'clock to pin
flags to all students who have
reached 21 years of age this year.
At 11 a.m. the Citizenship Day
program will be presided over by
Jim King, president of the Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet. King is a
senior in the School of Industrial
Engineering and is from Rome,
Ga. All presidents of the local
honor societies will be seated on
the speakers' platform during the
program.
The speaker of the program
will be Judge W. B. Boiling of
Lafayette. "The subject matter of
Judge Boiling's speech will be to
impress upon the audience the
need for young people's interest
in politics," said Mrs. Showalter,'
"for when young people do not
register when they reach the vot­ing
age, the- cosfr of poll tax con­tinues
to add up until it has reach­ed
a mark that the voter can not
pay at one time. For such reason
and for the fact that the peo­ple,
especially in the South, do
not take a great enough interest
in their government, only about
20 per cent of the people of vot­ing
age in Alabama actually take
a part in electing the represen­tatives
to their government."
Judge Boiling will be introduced
to the audience by Dean George
Petrie, head professor of history
and Dean of the Graduate School.
Music and songs will also make
up a part of the program and a
solo will be given by Fred B.
Bryant, sophomore in Chemistry
from Anniston, Alabama. The pro­gram
will be concluded by the
singing of the American Creed un­der
the leadership of Elizabeth
Wheeler, president of the Wom­en's
Student Government Asso­ciation.
All students who are 21 years
of age 'will be excused from class­es
upon the condition that they
go to boothes which will be estab­lished
at convenient places on the
campus to get tickets. These tic­kets
will have a detachable sec­tion
which must be left at the
booth. The other half will be tak­en
at the door.
Mrs. Showalter said that this
Citizenship Day program would be
as great a success as the one held
last year. "The public is invited to
this program," reported Mrs. Sho­walter,
"sponsored by the local
civic organization and surround­ing
Parent-Teachers' Association."
1941 Glomerata Is Bigger, Better, and
More Colorful - Says Trigger McGehee
There'll Be Some Big
Changes Made in Book
By JIMMY GILBERT
According to "Trigger" McGehee,
Glomerata chief, the Glomerata will
be bigger, better, more colorful and
better edited than any yearbook
in the history of Auburn. "Of
course", he continued, shyly, "to
ward the last we ran short of mon­ey
and had to bind the thing in
pasteboard, but it's by far the best
edition to date."
So spake Mr. MeGehee at a re­cent
press conference.
Of course Trigger was kidding
about the binding and all the rest,
but there have been changes made
in this year's edition that are worth
mentioning. For instance, each
fraternity and honorary organiza­tion
has had their space cut to
one page. The additional pages
were used to enlarge the snapshot
section, which will contain 24 pages
instead of last year's 12.
The snapshot section, further­more,
will be more informal than
that of last year. The pictures
will appear at random on the
pages, and the captions will be car­ried
directly under each one for
easy reading.
For color, this edition is being
done in soft tones of blue, yellow,
green, and a reddish-brown. Last
year's book, you'll remember, was
predominately green.
Charlie Kelly's brain child of
putting the schools together in the
student section will not be con­tinued.
The sections devoted to
showing the pictures of the mem­bers
of the various classes will be
arranged according to classes and
not with reference to the schools.
This year students won't have to
use the directory in connection with
the yearbook to find the pictures
of their friends.
Chief McGehee has also added an
entirely new section to the Glom­erata.
It is called the "Highlight
Section", and it will feature pic­tures
of big campus events, such
as Homecoming, Social Committee
dances, ODK-Hutsell cake race,
carnivals and sech.
The sports section boasts of 24
pages, and another 14 pages will
be devoted to intramural sports.
Of course the highlights of this
section are the pictures of the
Plainsman Panther - Glomerata
Graft Wave football battle of last
fall.
In case you haven't heard, this
book of the year will be ready for
student consumption on April 23.
Because of the fact that the pro­ceeds
of the ODK Musical Miscel­lany
are going for campus inprove-ment,
Mr. Kirtley Brown of the
News Bureau has allowed the Trig­ger
to distribute the new Glomera-tas
to students wtoo attend the
Miscellany on the night of April
22. Other students may get' their
graft wave publications the follow­ing
day.
When asked how he liked being
Chief of the graft wave, Mr. Mc­Gehee
murmured blissfully, "I
know I have the best Glomerata.
The shining faces of the students
as they receive the little gift that
I have for each of them will be
ample reward for my year of hard
work."
Current Events
In view of the fact that Dr.
Alfaro will speak on Monday,
April 14, on a subject closely con­nected
with Current Events, there
will be no regular meetings of the
Current Events classes on that
week, namely Tuesday the 15th
and Thursday the 17th. All mem­bers
of the Current Events class­es
will be expected to attend Dr.
Alfaro's address and will be held
responsible for it in the term ex­amination.

U. S. Seizure
Of Foreign Ships
The United States has recently seized
69 ships belonging to foreign countries.
These ships are the property of the Ger­man,
Italian, and Danish governments,
and their seizure was a great blow to
the sea power of these nations.
The Italians are practically out of the
war from the standpoint of supremacy
in the Mediterranean. In a recent battle
they lost from one-quarter to one-half
of their sea power, and the seizure of
their ships in American harbors further
crippled their power. This taking over
of the Axis ships leaves the British in
almost complete control of the Mediter­ranean
Sea.
The British have only one other worry
in the Mediterranean—that is the resist­ance
the French are displaying to the
refusal of the British to let supplies go
into France. This appears to be develop­ing
into a major problem for the British
because the French insist upon taking
supplies of all kinds into France.
Many people are wondering upon
what grounds President Roosevelt order­ed
the seizure of these ships. He ordered
their seizure on the grounds that they
might become harmful to the American
defense program.
When the ships were taken over by
the Coast Guard evidences of sabotage
were found. Engines were wrecked,
boilers were destroyed, and the ships '
were put out of commission from a
standpoint of sea-worthiness.
Hitler and Mussolini evidently reali­zed
that it would be impossible for these
ships to return to the scene of battle,
and ordered them to be disabled so that
in the event of a seizure by the United
States, they would be of no value—at
least for a while.
But according to a very authoritative
spokesman, Hitler and Mussolini made
a grave mistake. Those engines were
MADE IN ENGLAND and within a very
short time the new pieces can be secured
and the ships put into first class running
order. This is another instance where the
Axis powers made a fatal mistake.
Following in the footsteps of the Unit­ed
States, several Latin American coun­tries
have seized German and Italian
ships. But in several instances they were
too late. Many of the ships were sunk
or set afire in the harbors before the
Latin American governments could take
them over. This loss also proved to be a
substantial one for the Axis.
In all it seems that the Axis powers
have paid dearly for their attempted
exploits in the Americas. Perhaps it will
teach them a lesson. B.B.
Intramural Department CAMPUS CAMERA
An integral role played by one of the
administration's.major divisions is that
of the intramural office. We are fortu­nate
in having here at Auburn a staff
which is conspicuous in its continuous
efforts to give a well balanced sports
program to the average student.
For intramurals are far from discrim­inatory
in their scope; participation re­quires
no special talent and each person
has an equal opportunity. His only ticket
necessary is his interest.
Wide enough to accommodate all
varying athletic interests is the field of
sports offered throughout the year by
the intramural office. Football, dancing,
basketball, track, softball, swimming,
archery, ping pong, volleyball, tennis,
horseshoes, golf, badminton are but a
few of the sports open to the student.
Only by considering the fact that the
intramural staff arranges and sponsors
these events can we appreciate the un­tiring
and cooperative spirit of the work
done in Alumni Gym. This work has
made sports events as common as class­es.
It is done wholly by the intramural
department and to this staff goes the
wholehearted appreciation of the Au­burn
student body. J.P. I

Election Issue
Students have been blaming the
Plainsman staff for the "late" appear­ance
of Friday's isssue of the Plainsman
on Thursday night! /
They seem to forget the fact that
several hundred copies of that issue were
distributed exactly sixteen hours before
the usual time of publication.
We' blame that "late" appearance on
the Elections Committee and on the stu­dents
themselves.
The Elections Committee comes in for
a share of the blame because of their
action in holding all four campus elect­ions
on the same day, thereby doubling
or tripling the time required to count
the votes, instead of taking three days
for elections as was done last year.
The students share part of the blame
—because too doggone many of 'em
voted!
Our Relations with
South America
(Editor's note: This editorial won
first place in the Editorial Writing Con­test
which was an event in the annual
Alabama High School tournament held
here last week. It was written by Lamar
McLeod II, a student at Murphy High
School, Mobile.)
Crowded off the front page by war
and defense news, yet far more vital
to our safety and defense than a Curtis
bomber or a new battleship, are our
friendly relations with the American na­tions
south of the Panama Canal.
America in her anxiety to isolate her­self
from European back-stabbings, has
for many years presented a closed door
with no "Welcome" mat in front of it to
South America. It is, therefore, quite
logical that the naturally proud Latin-
American nations should be wary of the
United States' sudden interest in them—
now that we need their rubber, their
minerals, and most of all their good will
to aid us in combatting the dictatorships.
On the other hand, the Axis powers
have for years been courting South
America with anti-British propaganda
and with favorable trade relations. It is
not surprising, then, that Argentina,
Brazil, and Chile, and the other Latin-
American nations, who for years have
been deriving a large part of their in­comes
from German and Italian trade,
should hesitate before breaking with
these nations simply because the United
States has extended a friendly hand.
Let us hope that the Latin-American
nations will profit by the horrible ex­amples
set by Austria, Czechoslovakia,
Poland, Norway, Belgium, Holland, Den­mark,
and the other European nations
who discovered too late the sugar-coated
sweet offered by Hitler contained only
the drug of slavery and servitude. Let
us hope that they will realize that the
Atlantic Ocean will protect us from the
bombings and the horrors of war no
more than the Maginot line protected
France, or the English Channel is pro­tecting
Britain.
Let us all remember the words of one
of the greatest of Americans, and apply
them now not only in national scope, but
including all the free and liberty-loving
nations of the Western Hemisphere —
"Together we stand; divided we fall."

As far as the students of API are concerned day after tomorrow
is the first day of spring. At least vacation time has come. When all
the boys and girls return from their holidays, spring fever will have
taken its hold on them and the remainder of the school year will be
miserable.
, * * * *
Auburn must have a good ball team. Purdue said Auburn has the
best ball club they've played against this year. Michigan State thought
likewise. Indiana, to quote one of its players, said "You got the best
team we've run up against this season."
* * * *
The milling mob around the Plainsman office last Thursday night
was rather orderly, despite the long delay of publication. A few of the
usual rowdies had to make their way to the roof of the building,
however, where they raised a little havoc. No serious casualties were
reported.
* * * *
April 9 is Citizenship Day on the campus, and we think it is very
fitting for the school to so honor the boys and girls who are becoming
men and women as they reach twenty-one years of age. To be a
citizen of a country like the United States of America is one of the
supreme blessings of a lifetime, and at present there are several mil­lion
people who would like to have the privilege of being citizens of
this country. We hope that the young men and women who have reach­ed
their twenty-first birthday this year will realize the significance
of the occasion and will do their best to promote the general welfare
of our great nation.
* * * *
IN AND OUT OVER THE CAMPUS: Still no bells in the new
class room building, and no name for the building either. How people
do put things off! . . . One person wanted to know if Landon beat
Roosevelt in the election held here the other day. . . . The multi-colored
dresses and shirts worn over the campus is a sure sign of spring.
Perhaps, the weather man will notice this. . . . All the high school boys
and girls on the campus felt as though they were the real stuff,
especially when solicited by politicians. . . . No one seems to know
when school will start next fall! Backward race, aren't we?
* * * *
WHY DON'T THEY: "Sweep out the rooms in Broun Hall at least
once a month? Even a pig would turn away in disgust. . . . Inform a
professor of freshman chemistry that his pupils are human? . . . Take
any professors who assign quizzes the day before spring holidays out
and shoot them down like dogs? . . . Do away with the so-called
"intellectual background" courses at Auburn? People are no longer
intellectual. . . . Put in a system at Auburn similar to the one at
the University of Chicago? At Chicago a student does not have to
attend any classes as long as he keeps his average up.
* + * *
And so it goes, here and there!

Pan American Day
By GEORGE HEARD
Inasmuch as next April 14 is Pan American Day it might be a
good idea to familiarize ourselves with the exact reason for such a
celebration. Auburn will be doing her part in helping to foster better
relations with our South American neighbors by having one of Pana­ma's
most distinguished diplomats speak to the student body, faculty,
and townspeople. This speaker is Dr. Ricardo Alfaro, former President
of Panama and is being brought to Auburn by the Modern Language
Department and the International Relations Club.
But, back to the reason why we want to have such a program. It
was back in the year 1890, when James G. Blaine was Secretary of
State, that the different American Republics decided something should
be done about the "Big Divide" between the republics of North Ameri­ca
and those in South America. Consequently these countries got to­gether
and formed the International Bureau of American Republics.
Later this name was changed into its present form: Pan American
Union, which means in its strictest sense—closely united American
union.
April 14 was selected as the day on which all republics should cele­brate
its founding because it was on this day that the final plans were
made for its organization. There are twenty-one republics in the Union
and the majority of them have^heir offices in Washington, D. C. These
republics support the Union by contributions, the amount dependent
upon the population of that country.
The purpose of the organization was (and remains so today) "To
promote peace, commerce, and friendship between the Republics of the
American Continent . . ." The affairs of the Union are administered
by a Director General and an Assistant Director. These two men are
elected and are responsible to the Board of Governors. This Board of
Governors is composed of a representative of every country which is
a member of the Union. It may be likened to our own Senate.
The Union publishes a magazine called "The Bulletin of the Pan
American Union." It is put out monthly and is printed in three dif­ferent
languages, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. This magazine is
the official organ of the Pan American Union.
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.
Before thinking of the pleasant
subject of spring holidaze, we
want to discuss a few of the sen-timents-
in-verse that hover some
six inches from the ground around
the campus as aftermaths of late
bulletins.
* * *
There is one feeling which
might be typical of certain suc­cessful
politicians who have elec­tioneered
by asking advice for
their conduct in office. These
gentlemen might say,
"Election day is past and gone;
I feel a huge relief.
I'll listen still to what you say,
But please, my friend, be brief."
* * *
And about the final dances
which ain't . . .
No final dances, too many chances
For the social committee to stand.
Students forget that finances yet
Are important in hiring a band.
* * *
The Commerce Bawl is coming
up, and the two coeds who have
not as yet been elected to any
"Miss" office should narrow down
to one. And about that one . . . ?
Most of the coeds who dig know­ledge
here
Have been titled Miss "This or
That", sister.
But the one who's not chosen for
Commerce Kween,
They'll name Miss Mister . . . be­cause
they missed her.
* * *
We students who take after­noon
classes in the New Class­room
Building are contemplating
presenting a petition to Mr. Sam
Brewster, asking that, inasmuch
as he has that efficient tree-remover,
he remove that cedar
which is located just off the cor­ner
of the baseball feeling in a
north-easterly direction..
There are interesting baseball
games, and we would like to back
college sports by looking on, but
that tree hides everything except
deep center field and the peanut
boys.
* * *
And now for the holidays, the
time when students see that home
town girl and occasionally the
folks, and when the smarter ones
admit it and plan house-parties.
And wouldn't it be a good idea?
* * *
All roads lead away from Au­burn
for a day or two, and a kup-ple
of days later they turn around
and head back. It's like using
Uncle Sam's highways for home
defense program, unless the plan
for home vacation" turns out to be
an offense.
* * *
But just think what a time we'd
have if everybody would stay here
with no classes to interfere with
the normal business of a land-grant
college, if we are to believe
the earlier statements of some in­dignant
students. This business, of
course, is the rounding out of
one's social career, in order that
we may be fit to take our places
in^ society when this place gets
through with us.
* * *
Willie Hayes, managing editor,
learning for once that we were
going to press, suggested an edi­torial
on the rapid change in the
desks of college editors. Says
Willie, "For the first week or so
they keep their desks neat as an
old maid's hair-do, but after about
three weeks you couldn't find a
battleship on them!" Willie, at the
time, was searching vainly for a
borrowed raincoat he had mislaid
somewhere.
* * *
We want to go on record as be­ing
definitely in favor of some
sort of hospitalization insurance
for college students here. This, it
seems to us, is a step we will in­evitably
take someday, as it is
being adopted by more and more
colleges throughout the nation,
and we see no reason for putting
it off.
* * *
Of course, different systems in
operation will have to be studied,
and there will be quite some dif­ferences
in opinion as to which
plans are best, but these differ­ences
are Imere technicalities now.
The important thing for us to do
is to make up our minds that the
change is necessary. The actual
plan can be worked out when
there is a chance for it to be of­fered
successfully.
* * *
Karrie, the Kampus Kourter,
wants to know why Chisolm has
deserted her, now that he has re­turned.
Sayeth she, in what she
termeth is correct campus con­versation,
"I'm knocked out, I'm
sent, I'm digging your jive. . . .
Why can't you catch on, sir, that
I'm still alive???"
The Filch Column
By HEARD and MARTIN
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.
Filcher Artful Jones, who has
been mislaid for the present is­sue,
will be substituted for by two
distinguished members of the edi­torial
staff. No insinuation is
meant with the foregoing state­ment,
but confidentially his copy
.does not look like editorial copy
to us. If his "jokes" were jokes
we could call it the humorous col­umn,
that is provided they were
funny (or humorous, as you will).
* * *
Far be it from us to tear down a
collegue in his own column, but
just a by-thought on the honor­able
Mr. Jones. They used to call
him "Deadline Jones" until they
saw his column — now they call
him "Dead . . . Jones."
* * *
We quote from one freshman
from last Thursday around five
o'clock or toward the end of the
last election — "Well, in a few
minutes it will all be over and ev­ery
one will stop being friendly
until the next elections." He might
have something there but "Thet
ain't the way it used ter be." How
about it boys??
* * *
We looked around the office or
what's left of it after last Thurs­day
night and found about a
"jill 'an one" copies of April fool
issues of college papers from over
the country. As far as we are
concerned the majority of them
could have had a better April
fool's issue by not having one of
that date.
* * *
For a filch column, this triple
filching should filch the bill. The
Murphy Hi Times, prize winning
high school paper in the contest
here last week, filched this bit of
poetry from the Sidney Lanier
White and Blue or Blue and
White. We filch it from them, but
we don't make any attempt at
naming the original source.
"Little Jack Horner
Stood on a corner
Watching the Fords go by.
He saw one come
And waved his thumb,
And waved his thumb,
And waved his thumb."
* * *
And from another high school
paper in the recent contest, we
spotted the joke about the first
casket to the second casket and
what he said, all dressed up in a
new explanation. The joke stated,
quote, First Casket: Was that you
coughing? (Coffin) unquote.
* * *
From the Vanderbilt Hustler,
making use of ACP feature ser­vice
. . . .
"Sally Rand recently lectured a
student group at the University
of Minnesota on "The Value of
White Space in Advertising."
* * *
To corn this up further, we
don't presume to know just how
valuable white space has been in
advertising of the nation's prod­ucts,
but there's little doubt as to
the part white space has played
in advertising Sally Rand.
* * *
Phoebe, the Pheverish Philcher,
philtered the one about the little
owl from campus gossip two
months ago, but has just remem­bered
it. It telleth of a little owl
who flapped over to his sweetie's
penthouse and tapped invitingly
on the limb. Said his sweetie, sad­ly,
"It's toowet towoo."
* * *
We read in the Daily Reveille
of quite a squabble they (girls vs.- '
boys) are having as to who can
and does take the longest to dress
and to keep their dates waiting.
Sho' does our hearts good not to
have this problem on our hands
and our campus. We mean of
course the SQUABBLE.

Dances, Houseparties
Features of Week-end
Lambda Chi's and Chi Omega's Hold
Annual Formal Dances, and Parties
By MARY DEAN FRENCH
The past week-end was a success as far as fun was
concerned. It brought about the annual Spring Festival
and house party of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, the
annual dance of Chi Omega sorority, Sigma Phi Epsilon
house dance, Pi Kappa Phi weiner roast, and Theta Chi
house dance.
The Lambda Chi formal was held Friday evening from
nine to 12 in Graves Center with music furnished by the
Auburn Knights.
Miss Jane Berry, of Bessemer
and the University of Alabama,
led the dance with Marion Smith,
president of the local chapter. In
the lead-out, she was presented
a bouquet of Iris and Talisman
roses, with ribbon of pulple, green,
and gold fraternity colors.
The dance featured three no-breaks,
the fraternity lead-out
and no-break, and a "surprise" no-break.
Members and their dates
formed parallel lines as they
marched down the hall to the tune
of "Glory to Old Auburn".
Elaborate decorations included
a backdrop of a Balakaki scene
with a trio of Balaniese dancers
in the foreground. Colored shades
and foliage were hung from the
overhead lights. The fraternity
key was placed at the opposite
end of the hall.
Preceding the dance a buffet
supper was served by the house­mother,
Mrs. *W. C. Gewin, and
a breakfast followed the dance.
During the evening, members pre­sented
their dates with favors.
On Saturday afternoon the fra­ternity
entertained with a barbe­cue
at Chewacla Park, returning
to the chapter house that evening
for a house dance.
Guests included alumni and
members from University of Ala­bama,*
Birmingham-Southern, and
Howard College.
Chi Omega Dance
The Chi Omega sorority held
their annual dance Saturday from
nine until 12 in Graves Center.
The Auburn Knights played for
the occasion.
Leading the dance was Miss Sue
Quattlebaum of Conway, S. C,
president of the chapter. She was
escorted by Tom McCabe. Miss
Quattlebaum is a senior in inter­ior
decoration, president of the
Pan-Hellenic Council, and treas­urer
of the Executive Cabinet.
The dance featured three no-breaks,
a sorority grand march
and no-break, and a "surprise no-break."
Miss Quattlebaum was
presented a bouquet of red roses
after members made their appear­ance
through a rose covered arch
and trelace. Other decorations in­cluded
a backdrop of the sorority
key. with variation drapes hung
from the sides.
Prior to the dance a dinner was
served in the sorority room,
whereas a breakfast followed the
dance.
Pi Kappa Phi Weiner Roait
Pi Kappa Phi social fraternity
entertained members and their
dates Friday evening with a wein­er
roast at Chewacla Park.
After the affair they returned
to the chapter house, for a house
dance. Girls included in the date
list were:
Elizabeth J o h n s o n , Virginia
Lister, Rebecca Williamsqp, Vir­ginia
Rieder, Ethel Wooley, Fay
Hart, Martha Brooks, Mayme Jo
Ashby, Martha Gerhardt, Dot

Alpha Zeta's Hold Installation
Two of Society's
Founders Attend
By WILLARD HAYES _
The Alabama chapter of the
Alpha Zeta fraternity held in­stallation
ceremonies last Satur­day
on the local campus. Alpha
Zeta is a national honorary serv-ive
fraternity for students in the
School of Agriculture.
The original chapter, founded
at Ohio State University in 1897,
was represented at Auburn by the
two founders, Charles W. Burkett,
retired editor and former director
of Kansas experiment station, and
John F. Cunningham, dean of ag­riculture,
Ohio State University.
Although the local chapter was
not connected with the national
fraternity until last week-end,
representatives were requested to
attend the national convention
held in Chicago last December. It
was at that time that the petition
of the local Alpha Zeta club was
presented and accepted by the
national fraternity.
Chapters in colleges over the
southeastern states were repre­sented
at the installation, along
with members of the High Coun­cil,
including High Chancellor
Frank G. Helyar, College of Ag­riculture,
New Brunswick, N. J.;
High Censor Charles C. Renne,
professor of economics, Montana
State College; High Scribe Deane
G. Carter, head of department of
agricultural engineering, Univer­sity
of Arkansas; High Chronicler
David A. Weaver, head of the de­partment
of agricultural engi­neering,
North Carolina State Col­lege;
and High Treasurer-Secre­tary
Landley H. Dennis, Washing­ton,

Twelve new members were se­lected
by the local chapter Alpha
Claudia Weinman
Danforth Delegate
Floris Copeland Chosen
Alternate for Delegate
Claudia Weinman, Decatur, and
Floris Copeland, of Loachapoka,
as alternate, were recently elect­ed
by the staff of the School of
Home Economics here to receive
the Danforth Fellowship for 1941.
This Fellowship is awarded each
year to two Auburn seniors in
home economics who are out­standing
in scholarship, religious
and college life activities.
The plan of the Fellowship, of­fered
by the Danforth Founda­tion
and the Ralston Purina Com­pany
of St. Louis, is to bring to­gether
outstanding young women
from many colleges in a four-weeks'
program of study, re­search,
leadership training and
fellowship. The program was de­signed
to give young women on
the brink of graduation an insight
into the business world and help
them to adjust themselves to their
jobs after graduation.
Two weeks of study in St. Louis
as guests of the Ralston Purina
Company and two weeks in the
Zeta at the last meeting preced­ing
installation. These new mem­bers
were chosen from the upper
two-fifths of the junior and sen­ior
classes, on a basis of scholar­ship,
leadership and character.
Original members of the Alpha
Zeta honorary fraternity at *Au-burn
were Marlin W. Camp, Mer­lin
Bryant, H. J. Wesson, S. L.

"Adam Had Four
Sons" to Play at
Tiger Wednesday
"Adam Had Four Sons," which
stars Ingrid Bergman and Warner
Baxter will be shown Wednesday
and Thursday at the Tiger Thea­tre,
marks a "first" of some sort
in the lives of nearly everyone
concerned with its production.
Dramatic story of a father's 20-
year struggle to bring up four
motherless sons, the new film is
based upon "Legacy", a best-selling
novel by Charles Bonner.
The cast includes, in addition to
the stars, Susan Hayward, Fay
Wray, Johnny Downs, Helen
Westley, Richard Denning and
Robert Shaw.
"Adam Had Four Sons" is the
first production of Bob Sherwood,
29-year-old "boy wonder" who be­comes
an "A" picture producer
without previous screen experi­ence
of any kind.
It marks Baxter's graduation

It's-a-Great-PIace-You
Should-Be-Here-Girls
By FRANCES INGRAM
Lively lassies from all points of
the state came trouping into Au­burn's
women's dormitories Thurs­day
with that starry-eyed look
that made API's coeds wonder if
they really get enough sleep. But
that starry-eyed look was created
evidently by API itself.
After a three-day round of fun
and enlightening activities, the
high school girls visiting Auburn
for the annual State High School
Tournament climaxed their stay
with a party—and what a par-ty!
They weren't even going to bed
(so they said) and their word was
accepted with no attempts at prov­ing
it. -
After investigation, room 213
in one of the dorms was found
to be jammed full of an assort-ment
of high school girls —
blondes, brunettes, longs and
shorts — all giggling and talking
at once.
At the moment of discovery the
girls were completely absorbed in
various triumphs and defeats —
but mostly triumphs. One blonde
had walked off with the cup for
the outstanding character cre­ation
of the dramatic tournament;
a high school had received the
cup for the best play, and several
had won medals in various con­tests.
However, at the mention of
"how do you like Auburn?" such
an avalanche of "it's wonderful,
swell, great, grand, and friendly"
fell on the ear—it was enough to
acter roles, a "growing up" he
probably will follow on the screen
from now. on.
Similarly, the picture proves
Fay Wray isn't afraid of advanc­ing
years. As Baxter's wife who
dies in the story, she is here seen
in a mother role.
"Adam Had Four Sons" gives
Susan Hayward, heretofore not
fortunate in her casting, a part
which should bring recognition.
She is entrusted with playing Hes­ter,
seductive beauty who raises
havoc with Baxter's four sons.
The picture marks the screen
debut of all four boys who play
Baxter's sons in early youth: Bob
Walburg, Wallace Chadwell, Billy
Ray and Steve Muller.

After an exhausting try at "One
at a time, please!" the enthusias­tic
young ladies subsided into muf­fled
mutters. Eventually, after
straining an eardrum or two, the
replies of each were discernible.
Gloria Homing's black eyes
emphasized her reply. "Auburn is

campus is so pretty and the land­scaping
is wonderful."
Dorothy Bitzer said emphatic­ally,

In Two-Game Series
Hoosiers Defeat
Tigers 11 to 7
On Thursday
Indiana's Hoosiers hopped upon
the offerings of three Auburn
pitchers to outslug the Plainsmen
and win Thursday afternoon's
contest on Drake Field by a 11-7
score.
Thirteen hits were garnered by
the visitors in the game which
saw them facing Auburn's Jordan,
Day, and Wood on the mound.
Connecting for three runs in the
fiust frame the Hoosiers soon
gained a 5-0 lead which was never
endangered. Mike Kosman, In­diana
third baseman, led the day's
hitting as he banked out three hits,
one of them a homer in the high
scoring fifth inning, and sent in
three of the Hoosier scores.
For the Plainsmen Dick Mc-
Gowen was the defensive stand­out
while Rollo, Ferrell, and Har-kins,
all with two hits apiece, led
the batting. Both teams put on a
hitting display with all but three
of the 18 starting players con­necting
for one or more hits.

Tigers Edge Out
Hoosiers 3 to 2
On Friday
Walt Milner, Auburn's sopho­more
mound sensation, hurled
four hit ball Friday afternoon and
the Tigers edged Indiana, 3-2, to
even the two game series. It was
Milner's third victory in three
starts and the fourth Auburn win
of the first six games.
The three Plainsmen runs which
crossed the plate in the third were
the results of two hits, the only
two Auburn bingles of the game,
a couple of walks by Indiana's
Vittoz, and two Hoosier errors.
Milner showed his top control
in the eighth when he pulled out
of a hole which showed the bags
loaded with Indiana batsmen and
the Hoosier lacking but one run
to draw even.
Lloyd Cheatham displayed the
outstanding outfielding job of the
year as he patrolled center field
to haul in almost certain Indiana
hits on three different occasions.
Clifton, visiting left fielder, led
all batters as he smacked out two
hits in two times at bat.

Dorm 2 Basketball Team Defeats Girls
From Dorm 3 to Cap Intramural Crown
Dana Gatchell Club
Win* Third Place
By MERLE WOODARD
The girls' basketball sextet
from Dormitory 2 edged out the
fast moving team from Dormitory
3 last week to win first place in
the intramural tournament.
Rated as a dark horse from the
beginning, Dormitory 3 girls show­ed
steady improvement from the
first game and managed to tie up
League A so that with more prac­tice
they pushed out the power­ful
Delta Zeta's and Susan Smith's
and gained for themselves a posi­tion
in the final play-off.
Bidding for first place in the
final round were Theta Upsilon,
Dormitory 2, Dana Gatchell Club,
and Dormitory 3.
Dormitory 2, captured by Sara
Lee Banks, was almost a sure bet
for first place from the begin­ning1,
with Blanche Ellis, Aline
Snead, Eloise Lapp, Lillie Beulah
Whatley, Jeanne Bussey, Frances
Ford, and Doris Avery, to form a
combination which was unbeaten
and untied in the eight games of
the tournament. They also defeat­ed
an all star team at the open
house program.
Martha Glenn Rowe led the
girls of Dormitory 3 into an easy
victory for second place Tuesday
night aganist Theta U, having de­feated
Dana Gatchell girls last
Tuesday night. Members of this
team were Eloise Hicks, Louise
Wooldridge, Marguriete Davis,
Ruth Price, Marjorie Walls, Merle
Woodard, Wynona Parker, and
Marjorie Lawton. They received
their only defeat from Dormitory
2 and only trailed by six points.
Dana Gatchell Club, captained
by Mae Patton, received third
place.

Cordy Designs Key
For Alpha Mu Theta
Martha Gordy, a junior in lab­oratory
technique from Columbus,
Georgia, and a member of Cardi­nal
Key, has designed a key for
Alpha Mu Theta, new honor or­ganization
for students in labora­tory
technique, of which she is
president.
The key is diamond shaped with
the Greek letters Alpha Mu Theta
forming a bridge across the cen­ter.
On the upper half of the key
is a microscope which is symbolic
of laboratory work, while the low­er
half carries the Epicurean
medical insignia.
Alpha Mu Theta is a local honor
organization but it is hoped that
it will soon spread to other col­leges
offering a B.S. degree in
laboratory technique and be char­tered
as a national society. The
Auburn chapter is the only col­legiate
organization of students in
this course.

TO THE RESCUE
XT7HEN Mother Nature goes berserk,
T and whole towns are cut off from
electric power, that's when repair crews go
into sudden action to find the break and
fix it.
In the past power companies have had
transformers mounted on small trailers to
be rushed to location to restore power. Now
General Electric has announced a complete­ly
factory-built 1000-kva mobile substation,
first of its type.
This unit, mounted on a huge trailer, can
be towed along at 40 miles an hour. It can
take power from high-voltage lines of al­most
any voltage and transform it to serv­ice
values. When an outage occurs, the
substation is whizzed to the spot, parked,
grounded, and tied in. It can also be used
to by-pass regular substations during repairs
or maintenance work.
The machine is housed in a special build­ing,
with 14-inch concrete walls plus 12
inches of exterior brick to absorb stray
radiations. Another safeguard for X-ray
technicians is the X-ray safety "wrist
watch"—a leather case, worn on the wrist,
carrying a small piece of unexposed X-ray
film. This, when developed at the end of
the day, will show up any scattered X-ra-diation
to which the wearer may have been
harmfully exposed. General Electric Co.,

telephone exchange
must s
Each operator in San Francisco's Chinatown telephone ex­change
must speak English plus at least three of the five
Chinese dialects — Som Yup, Soy Yup, Heong Sow, Gow
Gong and Aw Duck—in order to handle calls. For the average
Chinese understands no dialect but bis own! -
Since there is no Chinese alphabet, the 36 page directory,
listing 2200 subscribers, can't be printed in the usual way.
It is handwritten—then reproduced by engraving and print­ing
processes. Subscribers are listed by streets, instead of
alphabetically. And operators must almost know the book
by heart, for the Chinese seldom call by number—but by
name and address.
Here is a Bell System exchange that in many
ways is unique. But it is just like thousands of
others in giving good service to telephone users.

Tigers To Meet Tech,
Georgia This Week
Record Shows Four
Wins Out of Seven
Aubtirn's baseball team, winner
in four of seven games to date,
this week plays four games away
from home as it moves into the
first stretch of the 1941 conference
race. The Tigers will play Ogle­thorpe
in Atlanta tomorrow and
Thursday, then will move on to
Athens where they tangle with
Georgia's Bulldogs on Friday and
Saturday afternoons.
Next games here at Auburn come
next week when Georgia Tech hits
town for a two game series on
Wednesday and Thursday and
Georgia rounds out the baseball
week at Auburn with games Fri­day
and Saturday.
Thus far Coach Jimmie Hitch­cock's
aggregation has defeated
Purdue in two games and Michigan
State and Indiana in one each while
dropping decisions to Purdue, In­diana,
and Anniston of the South­eastern
League. Anniston was the
winner by a 5-4 score Saturday
afternoon at Anniston.
Walt Milner remains the lead­ing
Tiger pitcher, having pitched
and won three games. Tommie
Mastin stands at .500 with a win
and a loss and Jim Jordan has
dropped two contests in two starts.

Something New Every Day'
Babblings of a reviewer: On the
jive side, Woody Herman merely
repeats all the breaks and solos of
"Woodchopper's Ball" under the
name of "Furtrap!ber'« Ball". The
beat, intro and all closely resem­ble.
Why? Well, the latter was
dreamed up after the ASCAP-BMI
brawl had taken "Woodchop­per's
Ball" out of circulation. On
the back is what the Decca folks
consider the number one side, ac­cording
to the advance literature
on the platter, but personal opin­ion
says that "Blue Flame" comes
as number two. The record is a
Decca.
* * *
Teddy Wilson, piano man su­preme,
is currently holding forth
at the Hotel Lincoln in N. Y. He
was a charter member of the great
B. Goodman's first band.
* * *
And on the subject of Benny
Goodman, here's a record recent­ly
released by Columbia, and wax­ed
by the master of the clarinet
himself. The two sides are "Lazy
River," and oldie, and a T. Dorsey
amachur winner "Oh! Look at Me
Now." Helen Forrest does a fine
vocal on both. Benny is still swing­ing,
in spite of his classical ten­dencies.
Two Decca recordings that have
appeal only in a mild sort of way
are Glen Gray's "I Do, Do You?",
backed by "You Say The Sweetest
Things Baby", and Jan Savitt's
"My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice"
plus "The Young Prince and The
Young Princess."
Of the first pair, "You Say The
Sweetest Things . . . " can easily
be called the number one side.
The vocal is carried by Pee Wee
Hunt, fend the general orchestra­tion
is good. On the other side,
Kenny Sargent gets off a good
vocal.
Savitt does his best on "My
Heart At Thy Sweet Voice," which
is played in a smooth rocking rhy­thm
that is conducive to dancing
and more of it. Neither of the
Savitt offerings boasts of a vocal.
Still on Decca platters, Jimmy
Dorsey offers a set of four well
known and well played favorites.
To list briefly . . . "Contrasts"
(the Dorsey theme), backed by
the Latin American "Perfidia".
No vocal on either . . . "Ama-pola",
done in excellent two-rhy­thm
fashion, with vocals by both
Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell,
plus the least known of the songs
"Donna Maria." Eberly does the
singing on this one, and a fine
job at that. . . . Bob Eberly sings
Auburn Track Team
To Meet Bulldogs
Stephenson and H o l l e y to
Lead Track Team into SEC
Competition This Week
The Auburn track team this
week steps into Southeastern Con­ference
competition for the '41 sea­son
when it plays host to the Bull­dogs
of Misisissippi State on Sat:
urday afternoon, April 12.
Time trials were held last Satur­day
and Coach Wilbur Hutsell now
regards this season's team as one
of promise. Though the showing
in the Florida Relays at Gainesville
by the Plainsmen was not impres­sive
from the scoring viewpoint it
did reveal the members of the
squad performing expectionally
well considering the early date.
Capt. Jim Stephenson and Alter­nate
Capt. Jim Holley will lead the
Tigers against State and will de­pend
heavily on the combined ef­forts
of Babe McGehee in the hur­dles,
Charlie Finney and Bud Wen-dling
in the sprints, Hoyt Hall in
the pole valut, Hugh Maddox in
the weight departments, and John
Ball, Auburn's SEC cross country
champion, in the two mile.

Latest issue of M a r c h of
Time, " A u s t r a l i a at W a r "
T I G € R
both "The Mem'ry of a Rose" and
"I Hear a Rhapsody," recordmates
of record number three. Both
songs are sweet, and ideal meal­time
listening at your favorite fra­ternity.
Last and best is "I Under­stand",
a newcomer of some merit,
backed by "High on a Windy
Hill." Bob Eberly again does the
vocals on both. "I Understand"
has a striking intro, followed by a
first chorus vocal by Eberly.
"Windy Hill" needs no introduc­tion.
"It's Square But it Rocks" is
the latest brain child of Will Brad­ley's
piano man, Freddie Slack.
Ray McKinley's vocal and Will
Bradley's music does it up brown.
The other side is a stranger,
"Prairieland Lullaby". Terry Al­len
does the vocal. The record is
Columbia.
* * *
Les Brown and band show their
colors in fine style with "Beau
Night in Hotchkiss Corners." Dor­is
Day handles a mean vocal, and
the arrangement exceeds even
that of the great Artie Shaw, with
all his strings and stuff. The back­er
upper is equally as good, al­though
the vocal seems a little
strained. Name? "Celery Stalks at
Midnight." The label is Okeh.
* * *
Ella Fitzgerald and her famous
band, Ella on the vocal, makes
music with "Hello Ma, I Done It
Again," and "Wishful Thinking."
The former is a honey of a jive
piece, and Ella does the words
well. The latter is more of the
type for a nice cozy blond date
and a big leather chair. Another
Decca record.
* * *
Choice for the most promising
as well as the most beautiful of
the reviewed records is Dorsey's
"I Understand." Bob Eberly's vo­cal
makes it what it is.

saw the Auburn Players at prac­tice,
and they're plenty good."
And then Marie Hansen, an­other
blonde, very fittingly boast­ed,
"I'll really have a hangover
when I get home—from staying
up all night. There's no time to
sleep."
These ardent exclamations went
on until one could tell by the
sparkle in those clear eyes that
they had really experienced a
swell time; and the old Alma
Mater has made a favorable im­pression
on their minds.
This sounds like one- of those
"It's-a-great-place-you-should - be-here"
posters, but there was ab­solute
sincerity in every voice in

Cortina, Hill, the
Melody Four to Be
Featured in Show
By WILMER WHITE
(Editor's Note: This is the sec­ond
in a series of articles on Who's
Who in the ODK Musical Miscel­lany.)
Tony Cortina and Eleanor Hill
Miss Hill, though a native of
Montgomery, attended school in
Akron, Ohio. She began her danc­ing
career very early and turned
professional at the tender age of
14. Over a period of several years,
she studied characteristic dancing
under Tamaroff, the Russian
dancer. Later, Miss Hill took up
the art of adagio dancing and also
the slightly less strenuous rhum-ba.
Tony, a well known figure on
the campus for 4 years, attended
school at St. Bernard in Cullman,
Alabama before coming to Au­burn.
He studied dancing in Mex­ico,
where dancing the rhumba
runs a close second to shooting at
the President as the favorite na­tional
pastime. Though he's not
a professional "hoofer," Tony
goes in for Ballroom, classical, and
even takes an occasional "fling"
at adagio dancing.
He considers Carmen Miranda,
the current South American sen­sation,
the leading interpreter of
his "South of the Border" swing.
And, anyway, if Mrs. Roosevelt
can find time to take rhumba les­sons,
there must be sumpin' to it.
This couple, both having con­siderable
experience in the Terp-sichorean
art, should' present one
of the most entertaining numbers
of the entire show.
The Melody Four
To most people, a quartet is
something that accumulates a-round
a barber shop, it's musical
value depending entirely on the
point of view. Such is not the case
with the Melody Four. These boys
have been singing in quartets for
some time and at present have a
program on the local radio sta­tion.
The quartet, consisting of four
boys, as most male quartets do, is
composed of N. D. Kilgo, Elton
Hinton, Durward Tyler, all ag stu­dents
and S. N. Morris, business
administration transfer student
from Duke. They are accompan­ied
at the piano by Jack Morgan,
also an ag student.
Their numbers will be Negro
Spirituals—"Gonna Rise Up and
Shine" and "There Will Be Shout­ing
and singing." And by the
way, the Negro Spirituals have
been given the honor of being the
only music strictly and purely
American.
Dates of the members and
pledges were: Dorothy Knapp,
Virginia Wilkerson, Alison Knapp,
Jane Owen, Annice Polk, Aileene
Stephens, Margaret Rew, Ann Ta-tum,
Julie Digby.

Frat Conference
(Continued from page 1)
Saturday afternoon and evening
was devoted to the meetings of
the individual fraternities which
were represented at the Confer­ence.
Fraternities were there from
Virginia,' North and South Caro­lina,
Georgia, Alabama, Tennes­see,
Mississippi, Florida and Louis­iana.
In the 10-year period 1931-40,
graduate students in American
colleges and univei*sities produced
nearly 27,000 theses as candidates
for doctorate degrees.
