The Top Hatter Prom Ticket Sales Begin
API Group Admitted
To National Society
It's the old Tophatter himself, above. It's Jan Savitt who will
bring his "shuffle rhythm" to the loveliest village on January 30, 31,
and February 1 for the annual Mid-Term Dances, otherwise known
as the Junior Prom. Tickets for the dances go on sale today. Six
fraternities will give house parties during the gala week-end.
Savin's Band to Feature Swing at
Proms; Kemp and Duchin Were Sweet
Last Year, "Mellow" . . .
This Year, " S h u f f l e"
By JIMMY GILBERT
From the Plainsman, dated
January 5, 1939, we read, "Hal
Kemp, one of the most popular orchestra
leaders in the entertainment
field, and Eddie Duchin, 'the
magic fingers of radio', will bring
their famous orchestras here to
play for the Junior Prom on Jan.
25, 26, and 27, according to Tom
Henley, Chairman of the Social
Committee."
Then, in the issue of this year,
dated November 29, we read again,
of the Junior Prom. This time, "Jan
Savitt and his Top Hatters will
play for the Junior Prom to be
held in Auburn January 30, 31, and
February 1, according to an announcement
made by John Deming,
Chairman of the Social Committee,
last night."
That tells the newspaper coverage
of the two years. True, there
have been features and blurps galore
on both occasions, but there as
yet has been no real comparison of
the two events.
Well, we know what last year's
brawls were like. Kemp had the
Smoothies, and a right fair orchestra.
The music was more or
less on the mellow side, with muted
horns and the like. Kemp really
put out some sweet stuff for the
dancers. Duchin was somewhat like
him, in that most of his arrangements
were on the sweet side. True,
there were a few hot ones, but the
"Magic fingers of radio" are what
really gave us the show.
This year we have an orchestra
and a leader that are comparatively
new to the music world. They
have been out in the cruel world
only a little more than three years,
but in that time they have really
brought the public to their feet
with a style of swing that is tops
today. Their "shuffle rhythm" is
one of the most distinctive styles
of music that has been developed
in recent years. It is intriguing to
the ear, commanding to the feet.
Along with the fine rhythm section,
there are some 12 other men
who put out some of the best instrumental
swing of the day. The
16 piece band is under the leadership
of an excellent musician and
swing fiddler. He is little known as
an instrumentalist, but his training
has been of the best.
This year the tickets are less,
the band is bigger and better, and
we can stay out 'till one o'clock, so
les' go gates!!
AZ Club Granted
Charter by Alpha
Zeta Fraternity
The Auburn Alpha Zeta Club,
composed of outstanding agricultural
students, has been granted
a charter by the national conclave
of the fraternity of Alpha Zeta,
largest honorary agricultural fraternity
in the nation.
Three representatives from the
local club attended the national
conclave in Chicago last week and
reported that 44 chapters attending
the meeting unanimously approved
the petition of the AZ Club
at Auburn for a chapter in the
national fraternity.
Those attending the national biennial
convention were Merlin
Bryant, Fred Schultz, and Dan
Hollis, all seniors in agriculture,
and who were among the ten juniors
selected last spring as the nucleus
of the present Alpha Zeta
organization on the campus.
A 45-page petition was presented
at the meeting to the High
Council of Alpha Zeta. In turn, a
committee, composed of delegates
from Tennessee, New Mexico, and
Nebraska, recommended the granting
of the charter to the API
group.
Auburn is the only land-grant
college in the South that does not
maintain a chapter of this honor
society. The final and formal
granting of the charter will of
course be subject to approval of
the inspection committee, of the
High Council of the fraternity.
This committee will visit API during
early February. The inspection
committee will be composed of
David S. Weaver from the University
of North Carolina and Deane
G. Carter from the University of
Arkansas, both of whom are professors
at their respective institutions.
Upon approval by this committee
an installation ceremony will be
held on the campus for the new
chapter. Delegates from many of
the chapters from coast to coast
have expressed the probability of
sending delegates to Auburn for
the ceremonies. Chapters at Georgia,
Tennessee, Mississippi State
and Florida are planning to send
several delegates each for the installation,
if the inspection committee
approves the granting of
the charter.
The local Alpha Zeta Club was

Alpha Phi Omega's
Attend Conclave
Prof. Thomas Speaks
At National Meeting
Alpha Phi Omega, national service
fraternity, held its eighth biennial
national convention at the
Antlers Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The convention was held on
December 28 and 29.
The Auburn delegation was led
by Professor A. L. Thomas. Other
members cf the local delegation
were John D. Sharp, Morgan
Bunch, Bobbie Dobbins, and John
A. Nigosian.
H. R. Borth, national president
of Alpha Phi Omega, presided over
the convention. Auburn was well
represented and Professor Thomas
gave an address on the Auburn
chapter. Professor Thomas is a
member of the national executive
board of the fraternity.
Other highlights of the convention
included addresses by outstanding
Alpha Phi Omega members.
These speakers were Governor
M. C. Townsend of Indiana,
Dean Arno Nowotny of the University
of Texas, and Dr. Herman
F. Briscol, Dean at the University
of Indiana.
The theme of the national convention
was the need for such an
organization as Alpha Phi Omega
on- every college campus- of America
today.

Pan-Americans in
Colleges May Now
Receive Training
By WILLARD HAYES
Approximately 20 flight scholarships
to citizens of Latin American
countries who are bona fide
students enrolled in institutions
participating in the Civilian Pilot
Training Program will be given
during the Spring Session under
a special "Pan-American College
Phase."
Lt. B. M. Cornell, director of
the CAA at Auburn, said yesterday
that he wished to urge all
Latin American students, who are
enrolled in API to apply for one
of these scholarships.
Any student from the following
countries is eligible for one of
the scholarships. The countries
from which the students will be
pfcked will be Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa
The order received by Lt. Cornell
states that students interested
in the scholarship should contact
him and fill out their applications
as soon as possible as the applications
must be in Washington by
the deadline on January 22. Six
of the special applications were
sent to Lt. Cornell for distribution
to Pan - American College
Phase applicants now enrolled in
Auburn. If these are not enough,
application blanks may be duplicated
or obtained from the acting
director of the Civilian Pilot
Training Service. The applications
must be submitted to the Acting
Director on or before the deadline.
These scholarships given to
Latin American students will not
be charged against the quota that
Auburn now has. Separate ground
and flight contracts will be initiated
for each "Pan-American
College Phase" scholarship recipient.
Applicants for this training

at least one full year of college
work acceptable to the institution.
After selection, they must pass
a physical examination for a Student
Pilot Certificate, with a
Commercial CPT rating, as well
as a special eye examination, including
refraction, administered
by a designated Civil Aeronautics
medical examiner. They must
agree, if selected, to complete the
ground and flight course unless
disqualified by the college, the
flight operator, or the Civil Aeronautics
Administration previous to
its conclusion. They must also
agree, if selected, to abide by all
the rules and regulations as promulgated
by the CAA in connection
with the training. They need
not sign a pledge for flight training
in the Army or Navy of the
United States.
The selection of the flight
scholarship winner for each country
will be made in the Washington
office after the institutions
now participating in the program
have submitted applications from
all those eligible and interested.
Civilian Pilot Training will then
arrange for each applicant to receive
the Civil Aeronautics flight
physical examination from a designated
Civil Aeronautics medical
examiner.
Selected applicants must pay
for their Civil Aeronautics flight
physical examination, including
the special eye examination,
($12); the required insurance,
($9) ; and such course fee, not to
exceed $10, as will be charged by
API.
If students interested in the
scholarship wish further information,
they should contact Lt. Cornell
immediately.
Lt. Cornell also said, in regards
to the regular CAA applicants,
that the CAA was still open and
that all students interested in
taking the course should report to
the CAA office immediately. Many
applicants have already signed up
but more applicants are needed.
He also said that girl students are
also eligible for the course and
that they would be welcomed to
enter the course if they are interested
and if they can pass the
examination.
The Smith's Lead the
'List of Students,
Joneses, the Faculty
The judges have at last reached
a decision! The Smith clan is the
best represented among the students
of Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Numbering 63 members,
it stands alone, far surpassing in
number any other clan on the
campus. It draws its members
from many of the Southeastern
states, their homes ranging from
Whiteville, N. C, to Louisville,
Ky., and down through the Southern
states to the Gulf.
These and other interesting
facts were brought to light when
this reporter looked over the new
directory in one of his idle moments.
There are 63 Smiths, 35
Joneses, 34 Davises, 26 Williams,
and 22 Johnsons. The rest of the
four-thousand-odd students have
names ranging from Abel to Zimmerman
and seem to represent
descent from almost every nationality
on earth.
On the faculty, however, the
Smith's tie for second place with
two or three other clans, while
the Joneses lead the line. They
lead with eight members, and the
Smiths, Johnsons, Davises and
Moores follow-up in second place
with five each.

was made yesterday by officers
of the Auburn Aero Club:
"Due to lack of interest shown
in flying at this time of the year
the officers of the Auburn Aero
Club have decided to postpone the
Air Meet scheduled for this weekend
until spring."

The following announcement
was released yesterday by Dr. J.
V. Brown, Director of Student
Employment and Housing:
"The next meeting of the
Householders Association will be

tees off in the 1941 basketball I p l ay
race this week-end, running up
against a strong and experienced
team from Sewanee on Friday and
Saturday nights in Alumni Gym.
Originally scheduled as the
first in the series of Southeastern
Conference opponents, the recent
withdrawal of the Mountain Tigers
from the conference leaves
the two contests with no league
bearing, setting off the first
Plainsmen conference encounter
until next Monday when Mississippi
Rebels come to Auburn for
a single game.

Frank Manci, seventh and
eighth scorers in the conference,
respectively, in 1940 are the two
men who have reported from last
year's team and all Auburn hopes
rest on this pair. Both are juniors.
Four lettermen stepped out
from the Auburn team with graduation
and left open positions
which Coach Ralph Jordan will fill
only after time and practice has
cast more light on the material
available. The three open slots
will be filled by sophomores or
juniors as no seniors are now listed
on the roster.
Definite starters in the unoccupied
berths won't be known until
Friday night when the shooting
gets underway, but those who
have inside shots at this point can
be listed as Bob Dunbar and Tom-mie

The Poor Overworked
Postal Employees
A few weeks ago an editorial appeared
in the Plainsman which complained
about the service at the Post Office. It
read something like this: "It seems that
there should be better service coming
forth from said department. We have
received numerous complaints from students
about the slow service they receive
from the postal employees. We
have been inconvenienced many times
at the Plainsman office and the publishing
of the paper has been held up for
hours awaiting the pleasure of the Post
Office in delivering cuts which were
mailed special delivery."
We have since learned that undoubtedly
that editorial was unjust, anbMt is
the policy of the Plainsman to make
apologies and corrections when any injustice
has been done in its columns.
We realize now that the "slow service"
of the Post Office is not the fault
of any postal employee. There just
aren't enough employees in the local
P. O. to handle the tremendous amounts
of mail that evidently pass through it.
There are four windows in the front
of the office, to handle stamp sales,
parcel post, general delivery mail, and
packages. We have never seen over one
postal employee at the time handling
all four of these windows. One man attempts
to sell stamps, take in and hand
out parcel post packages — including
weighing, insuring, and stamping the
same—distribute general delivery mail,
and hand out packages. -
Most post offices with which we are
familiar would have at least two employees,
and most likely three or four, to
take care of these jobs — one man at
each window. It certainly seems a shame
that one man must be so burdened.
And to top his task, this lone man
must always be faced with realizing
that outside of each of his four windows
there is a line of "customers", from one
or two to twenty or thirty people long,
often very much in a hurry, just standing
there waiting and glaring at him
for his "slowness."
Rigid Postal regulations require very
careful handling of all of these jobs
which he must do alone, so he can't
hurry. He must take his time, and see
that all is right. To keep the public satisfied,
he must stop his work from time
to time and chat with his friends who
happen to make it to the window.
Absolutely duty-bound to do all the
things mentioned, one man can't possibly
hope to handle things with the speed
which sometimes we, who are only the
public being served by the Post Office,
would like.
So we apologize for the attack we
made on the Post Office in a former issue,
and take this opportunity to express
our sincere sympathies to the man who
does so much work.

ASCAP Can Take
The Hindmost Now
ASCAP, otherwise known as the
American Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers can take the hindmost,
now, at least as far as BMI, or the
Broadcasters Music Incorporation, is
concerned. For many years now, ASCAP
has ruled the songs of the nation with
an iron hand. They have charged the
prices that they so wished for the use
of certain songs that are composed or
published by members of the society. If
they have so desired to restrict the use
of a certain song, they asked no one,
they simply notified broadcasters that
the song in question could not be played
over the ether waves.
The National Association of Broadcasters
stood for the actions of ASCAP
about as long as any group could. They
finally organized BMI to compete with
and combat the forces acting within
ASCAP. Last year, ASCAP collected
four million dollars for the use of their
songs on the air waves. This year they
upped their ante to more than eight million,
or more than double the amount
of last year. An independent radio station
must pay five per cent of its gross
earnings to ASCAP for the use of AS-CAP's
songs, even if only one song a
month belonging to ASCAP is played
over that station.
Broadcasters made pleas for a basis
of paying so much per playing of a song,
that is, on a per unit basis. ASCAP turned
a deaf ear. ASCAP included in its
membership the best known and most
prolific song writers and publishers in
the business. They insisted on dictating
their own terms to the broadcasters. In
other words, they were monopolizing
the song field.
BMI was thus formed. Ninety-eight
per cent of the radio stations in the nation
are now associated with BMI. ASCAP
did not believe that BMI would
stick it out, so to speak. But BMI has,
and they are doing all right. Of course,
the music of such famous composers as
Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Hoagy Car-michael,
Cole Porter, Victor Herbert and
many others will not be excluded from
the air waves. Many of the nation's leading
orchestras can no longer use their
theme songs on the air.
But confusion is not running amuck
among the radio stations, as ASCAP
thought perhaps would happen. The
three major networks—NBC, CBS, and
MBS—are connected with BMI and are
excluding the music of ASCAP from the
air waves. Probably many people have
not noticed the change, many do not
know of the fight between the two
groups. Through propaganda, ASCAP
has tried in vain to fool the public into
believing that BMI was composed of
a bunch of devils. But actually, the boat
is turned the other way around, and ASCAP
is left far up the stream without
any paddles with which to save themselves.
True, many of the famous college
songs will not be played on the air any
longer. But BMI has hired many young
song writers and these writers are turning
out popular hits by the basketful.
At present, BMI has available approximately
200,000 popular songs and 150,-
000 public domain songs. We should be
able to get along with this many songs
without becoming tired of any certain
songs too soon.
At the present time, it seems that ASCAP
has "lost out", and that BMI is on
the way up to success. The radio stations
throughout the land will continue
to prosper, simply because they have
backbone enough to meet a bunch of
crooks on their own terms and surmount
the efforts of these crooks to completely
monopolize the song field.
Just Rambling
The new year is well established —
the Italians and ASCAP are really
catching hell, Adolph doesn't know
which one of the boys he is, and Churchill
hasn't given up yet.
A year ago it was — "The English
will fight to the last Frenchman. Now
it's—"The Americans will fight to the
last Englishman" — (quote—our favorite
dog—Adolph).
* * *
Confidentally, our circulation staff
stinks (quote—our mailing list).

War is hell. So are final exams.

Dear Readers, I'm sorry I can't

pigeon-holed in the desk and get
them in by the deadline. There
was no friend to invite me to be

none of my friends are Winchells.

But the Plainsman knows how
we "bit ones" feel about flying
and anything pertaining to it. We
laugh at cartoons where the joke
is on the pilot, watch the magazine
racks like hawks for new issues
of aviation publications, litter
our rooms with models and
propeller hub ashtrays, plaster our
walls with plane pictures, take
first row seats at movies where
the actors wear goggles, helmets
and scarfs trailing in the breeze,
are push overs for studs, tie
clasps, pins, or anything else with
an aeroplane stuck on it. So the
Plainsman decided to give us
space for our very, very own.

Funny how different a place is
without the people there who are
usually scattered around it. Did
you ever go back to an empty
theatre to hunt for a lost glove,
a swimming pool with the water
drained out of it for the winter
and the bath house nailed up, or
a house from which you moved to
transplant a pet flower your
mother left? Well, that's mostly
the way the airport seemed during
the holidays—especially with
Lester Shannon gone. It got so
quiet that Charles Roberts, Jack
Birdsong, and Frasier Fortner decided
to go off and shoot fireworks.
Rather timely ones at that
—rockets that sent up little parachutes.
And speaking of that,
Craig Lee Jackson divided his
time during the holidays between
flying and fireworks. But kept

Holiday Activities
On an icebox raiding party at
Frances Wilson's, we found out
her theme song. "They'll cut down
the old pine tree. If they don't I
will—on the East-West runway."
Instructors J. F. Brennan and
A. L. Lumpkin spent some of
their off time in Atlanta taking
tests for Ground Instructors Ratings.
'
W. G. Rhodes and Jake Fortner
took a cross-country trip to Savannah,
thereby providing the
laugh of the week. On the way
they picked out a place to land
in South Georgia and call in to
Savannah for a weather report.
It seems after choosing the most
appropriate field in sight and setting
down, a man working nearby
came over and asked, "Boys, why
didn't you land on the airport?"
Which incidentally was about
1500 feet away.
E. R. Calloway, ground instructor
for Alabama Air Service,
brings us news from two for the
CPT Summer Trainees, Charles
Baumhauer and Wilbur Shriner.
Bet those three sat out a few at
the Auburn Annual Christmas
Dance in Mobile and did some
flying right then and there.
Miss Helen Williams, who commutes
from home (Opelika) to
work (Auburn High School), saw
how the world looked from Santa
Claus' point of view and that's
literally true. She declared he
couldn't possibly miss Opelika because
the lights put up to welcome
him were so beautiful from the
air at night.
Joyce Kilmer had the right
idea about trees and Professor
Robert • Pitts agrees with him.
What nicer or more appropriate
way could one spend the holidays
than planting trees on a lot for a
new house?
Jim Sharman and Bob Hardin
divided their time at the Sugar
Bowl between watching the game
and reading the advertising banners
towed by a Taylorcraft over
the stadium. We haven't been able
to find out just what the banners
advertised but it seems that Jim
and Bob investigated some of the
products.

ORCHID OF THE WEEK goes
to Alabama Air Service for their
remarkable safety record. Owned
and operated by J. W. Allen and
J. B. Atkinson, Jr., this organization

Never again shall the brother,

He was right about the condition
of Auburn, the Quietest City
in the Country. The place was so
dead that old black birds circled
overhead for the duration. One
tourist stopped, and lonesome
merchants didn't even wait for
him to get out of the car. They
piled their best on trays and became
sidewalk hawkers until they
learned that all he wanted was
free air and water and a road

As mentioned Friday, the dance
situation is almost unbearable
when the high school groups keep
the music going for a whole hour
after college boys and girls should
be home in bed. Some of the
guests weren't old enough to belong
to the organizations giving
the affairs . . . in fact, they were
hardly old enough to be out of
grammar school . . . but they were
old enough to dance to one
o'clock.
* * *
Dances just ain't the same with
the midnight curfew. Midnight,
presumably short for middle of
the night, also applies to middle
of the dance.
We have not, as yet, heard just
why the step was taken, or by
whom. This is probably because
we haven't tried very hard to find
out, but we would like to know
the reasons for the change. It's a
hard life, and life is not all strawberries,
peaches, blueberries, and
cream, but added minor irritations
pile up.
Added suggestion . . . watch for
further developments along the
Letsdance'tilone line. And if you'
re opposed to this twelve o'clock
business, we'd appreciate knowing
it, and any letters to the editor,
that horrible soul, will be most
welcome. Oh, most welcome, and
we're talking about welcome. Any
addressed to "You cute old editor,
you" will be censored by the
missus, so please bear this in
mind.

Winchell has printed two bits
with a flavor of spaghetti which
appeal to us. One suggests as a
theme song for the Italian army,
"There's No Place Like Rome."
The other reports a likely call
from Count Ciano, Eyetalian, who
phoned Goebbels in Berlin, reminding
him of his promise to be
in London by December 15, and
asking for the reason for the delay.
"Tell me," Goebbels answered,
"are you calling from
Athens?"
Winchell mentions a Jan Savitt
recording as being "rotten and
in the same taste." We presume
that he's speaking of a different
Savitt from the guy we have in
mind, because Savitt is our hero,
and even Winchell shouldn't be
derogatory about folks' heroes.
We admire WW, but anyone
who says that Savitt's music is
either "rotten" or in rotten taste
becomes forbidden literature for
us, and tohellwithim.

We've come to the conclusion
that hitch-hiking is the best means
of locomotion for students. If you
have a car and. take it you have
to drive, and if you ride a bus
it's crowded and you have to sit
on the floor. Trains are late,
crowded, noisy, and dirty. And
the Seminole might as well change
its schedule and run two hours
late on purpose. Which is our
private beef for 1940.

Karrie, the Kampus Konver-sational
Koed, sayeth, "I never
get my vocal chords working
right and my feet stepping right,
and all in all, in perfect condi- •
tictn, until after eleven on dance
nights. That way, just when I'm
having fun and have met enough
boys to settle down and enjoy
dancing, the dance is over. The
whole time is spent in checking
wraps, meeting a few boys, getting
wraps for intermission, checking
wraps after intermission,
meeting a few more boys who are
supposed to want to come back
and dance again, getting wraps
again, and knocking on the dormitory
dtfor and signing the late
book. Can't we be reasonable
about this thing?"
Parade of Opinion
By ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS
America's college newspapers
saw little hope late last spring
for union of the American Federation
of Labor and the Congress
of Industrial Organizations. But
swift-moving events have changed
the view. The concensus of undergraduate
writers now is not
only that prospects are good for
ending factionalism, but that a
truce in the near future is imperative.
Commenting on the resignation
of CIO President John L. Lewis,
the Cornell Daily Sun says that
"the next move necessary to the
unreserved cooperation of the nation
in the preparedness program
is the unqualified unification of
the forces of labor. With the
workers of the nation split into
two camps, it is impossible that
the program can go forward with
the best operation."
In the opinion of the Michigan
Daily, President Roosevelt's victory
and John L. Lewis' defeat
gave rise to one of the brightest
hopes for labor unity in the last
years. The mass of both organizations
have common interests and
are desirious of uniting them. In
many cities there are joint labor
councils, joint journals and joint
strikes when necessary. Consciously
and unconsciously the workers
in both organizations have been
united in political action. That
the CIO and AFL are not joined
in an effective union today is an
indictment of the democratic
processes within the organizations
that allow the leaders to block
the will of the members."
The Amherst Student joins in
the view that "any move toward
union could not appear at a better
time. Yet opportune as a combination
now of the opposing
camps might be and ridiculous as
their struggle seems, there is
more concerned in their continued
separation than the mere personalities
of Lewis and Green. The
whole organizations of the two
unions differ; one has herded unskilled
workers together, the oth- _
er skilled workers. One represents
the proletariat of labor, the other
the aristocracy."
The Dartmouth refers to labor
in general in a discussion of production
bottlenecks involving labor
disputes, and contends that
these bottlenecks are two-sided.
"The talk" says the Dartmouth,
"is all about eliminating the right
to strike. There is not enough talk
about eliminating the abuses that
cause strikes. Obviously it would
s p e e d defense preparation if
strikes were made fewer. Just as
obviously, it takes two disputants
to make a strike. If America is
sincere in seeking to stop strikes
in order to defend democracy, she
would do well to look just as
sharply to the practices of the
manufacturer as to those of the
laborer."
General benefits to come from
labor's turning its back on the
"reds" are envisioned by the
Daily Kansan. "President Roosevelt,"
says the Kansan, "would
like a united, well controlled,
anti-Communist labor front to
work with him in courting business.
Sidney Hillman (labor coordinator
of the rearmament program)
would like to free labor
from the restraint of the Sherman
anti-trust law. If he could unite
the CIO and AFL in an alliance
acceptable to the president, he
might get what he wants and
probably would co-operate with
the administration. If Hillmari
can get the co-operation he wish- '*
es, Roosevelt may get the 'red'
purge he wishes within labor
ranks. If the 'reds' are purged,
business may work with the ad- '
ministration with greater harmony.
This is Roosevelt's answer
to Mr. Willkie's 'loyal opposition;'
either way, business can't lose.
January 7, 1941
Keyhole Kapers
By BOB CHISHOLM
The new year has dawned, or
perhaps it has yawned. Who
knows? Anyway, it is now 1941,
- the year of promise, of good fortune,
the year of the new age.
I don't know much about this
new age that I mentioned, but
from all I hear it will be a swell
age to live in. The people who
a r e supposed to know say that 1941
is only the beginning of this new
age and that it will last for over
a thousand years. After that . . .
who cares, we'll be to old to worry
about it then.
It seems that the new age will
bring about a great religious
change and it will bring with it
peace and much prosperity for
everyone. I only hope that if
there is to be such a period in our
lifetime that we will survive the
present crisis to glory in the blessings
of this new era.

From the Sugar Bowl, New
Orleans: I would like to quote the
Plainsman sports editor in saying
"Boston has probably the finest
football team in the nation."
When that statement was made it
was after the Auburn defeat at
the hands of Boston College. Now
after the Sugar Bowl game I can
readily say "Ditto" to that statement.
After a weak start in which the
mighty orange and white of Tennessee
rolled over them for a
score, those boys from Boston set
their chins and bored in, their
"•^ muscles being charged with a type
of courage that is seldom seen.
Tennessee seemed to slow up, but
they were still playing their same
stellar brand of football. Boston,
however, was just playing a much
better brand of ball. And Boston
was playing on courage and a
"never say die" spirit. With these
two qualities backing them the
Eagles from BC could do nothing
else but win.
For a while it seemed that the
team with the ball at the end of
the game would probably be the
loser, because every time one or
the other got the ball they went
on to score.
Finally, however, Coach Leahy
of Boston decided that Tennessee
needed to see more of one Mr.
Charlie O'Rourke. In came Charlie
amidst the applaud of the BC
supporters. With the ball on about
his own thirty-five Charlie faded
and tossed a pass so far above the
head of his receiver on the left
that it almost went in the stands.
On the next play Charlie turned
to his right and threw again, and
once more it was high. Ball two!
The Tennessee supporters jeered.
Then Charlie got the ball
again. Receivers went to the right
and left, and with them went Tennessee.
Mr. O'Rourke then tossed
a perfect strike to Ed Zabilski
right down the center for as pret-
—• ty a completion as anyone has
ever seen. On the next play to
show them just how he had done
it, Charlie threw to the same spot
and completed it again.
The ball was now on the Tennessee
24, the score was tied at
thirteen all. The Tennessee fans
had stopped their jeering and
were staring in amazement at this
mighty Boston club. Boston came
up to the line, in a semi-pass
formation. Tennessee opened up
their defense. The ball came back
to the great Charlie, he faked a
pass, tucked the ball under his
arm and cut off right tackle. An
orange and white jersey made a
desperate stab, missed. Another
came up and Charlie shifted his
hips two feet, another miss. Two
more tried with no avail, then
Charlie noticed the stripes on the
field went both ways. The winning
touchdown was made, and
the great Tennessee had finally
played a tough game, and lost.
So went another Sugar Bowl
game. The goal posts went, also,
but not until the crowd outnumbered
the constables by about
5000 to 1. A great team had won
a ball game, .not on particularly
dazzling playing, but upon sheer
courage and the desire to win.

Appointment of Toomer to Board of
Trustees Meets With Wide Approval
S u c c e e d s t h e Late J o hn
V. D e n s o n of O p e l i ka
Members of the faculty, alumni,
and friends of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute were highly pleased
this week with Governor Dixon's
appointment of S. L. (Shell)
Toomer, prominent Auburn citizen,
to the A.P.I. Board of Trustees.
Mr. Toomer will fill the vacancy
left by the recent death of John V.
Denson, of Opelika. His appointment
will expire in 1951-
Commenting on the appointment,
the Montgomery Advertiser said:
"Mr. Toomer is known as a dyed-in-
the-wool Auburn devotee, of the
type to whom loyalty to Auburn is
almost a religion."
This sentiment was echoed by
hundreds of Auburn supporters in
this section. Lee County knows
"Shell" Toomer not only as a banker,
merchant, legislator and progressive-
minded civic worker, but
also as an Auburn man wholeheartedly
devoted to the interests
of the college.
Born in Opelika, Mr. Toomer
lived here until he was eight years
old. He resided in Macon, Ga., for
three years and since 1883 has been

Collegiate World
STORRS, CONN.—(ACP). —
An enrollment decline in French
courses and a decided drop in
German class registrations at the
University of Connecticut are
more than offset by an increase
of more than 100 per cent in enrollment
in Spanish classes.
It has become apparent, say
university officials, that the interest
in Spanish is based almost
entirely on a belief among students
that future relations with
Latin America are likely to be
much more intimate than the
United States previously held.
Students in engineering, agriculture
and other professional
fields showing new interest in
Central and South America, are
searching for all available information
on those countries.
Recently President A. N. Jor-gensen
established a Latin-American
seminar which meets once a
week for two hours of lectures and
round-table discussions under direction
of four members of the
faculty.
Those students desiring extra
reading in their courses may find
unlimited information on a wide
range of subjects. In the archit
e c t u r e department, such books as
Denby's "A History of Esthetics";
Gotch's "Architecture of ' the
Renaissance in England"; Ford's
"The Modern House in America";
Roger's "Carl Hilles"; and Haz-en's
"The Birth of the American
Tradition in Art" are standouts.
The chemical's will find several
brand new publications. Butler's
"Electrocapillarity"; Crumpler's
"Chemical Computations and
E r r o r s " ; Carter's "The Fundamental
of Electrocardiographic
I n t e r p r e t a t i o n " ; and Hamblen's
"Endocrine Gynecology" will help
them in their advanced courses.
Engineering students in all
schools will find immeasureable
help in the new books "just purchased.
Heiland's "Geophysical
Exploration"; Pettersen's "Weather
Analysis and Forecasting";
Jones' "Elements of Practical
Aerodynamics" and "Symposium
on Thermal Insulating Materials"
by the American Society for testing
materials, are the standouts
in the new 1941 shipment.

a citizen of Auburn. He was graduated
from A.P.I, in 1893.
He has long played an important
part in business and civic affairs
of the College City. At present he
is operating the well known
Toomer's Drug Store, a hardware
store, and is president of three
other concerns—the Bank of Auburn,
the Auburn Ice & Coal Co.,
and the Auburn Realty Co.
For 25 years he was a member
of the Aubuun City Council and
six years ago was first elected to
the Alabama Legislature as one of
Lee County's two representatives
in the house. Two years ago he
was reelected to this post without
opposition, a mark of esteem that
testifies to the confidence the people
of Lee County hold in "Mr.
Shell."
In the legislature he served on
such important committees as appropriations,
education, agriculture
and highways, among others. As
a member of the appropriations
and education committees particularly
he was able to serve the interests
of Auburn in no small
measure.

Increasing importance of the
"Dr. Kildare" series resulted in the
inclusion of a noted guest star in
"Dr. Kildare's Crisis," which will
be shown Wednesday and Thursday
at the Tiger Theatre, in which
Robert Young joins Lew Ayres,
Lionel Barrymore, Laraine Day
and the rest of the characters of
the popular series.
The new picture tells the dramatic
story of a strange mental
ailment which casts a shadow \pi
tragedy on the lives of three principal
characters, to be dispelled
through a tiny clew discovered by
Barrymore in the medical-mystery
plot.
Young plays a new character,
the brother of Miss Day, who becomes
a patient under the care of
Ayres, as Dr. Kildare, and Barrymore,
as the veteran Dr. Gillespie.
Harold S. Bucquet directed.
Amid comedy, thrills and poignant
emotional moments, several
surprising factors of medical science
embellish the plot. Audiences,
for the first time in history, will
see a human heart actually beating.
Through a new technique in
motion picture photography, the
heart, X-rayed onto a fluoroscopic
screen, is photographed directly onto
film and projected.

medicine shows little Bobs Watson

Alpha Zeta
(Continued from page 1)
organized in March of 1940. Ten
outstanding juniors were selected
by fourteen faculty members of
Alpha Zeta fraternity, who are
now associated with API. Those
ten juniors were W. V. Lord,
president of the group, Bryant,
Schultz, Hollis, MarlLn Camp, S.
L. Davis, W. I. Zeizler, A. G. Williams,
H. J. Wesson, and E. E.
Prather.
These men formed the nucleus
of the present organization. At
the annual Ag Banquet last spring,
Jack Snow was selected as the
outstanding sophomore in agriculture
by the Alpha Zeta Club
and was thus conducted into membership
in the group.
This past fall, the group selected
twelve additional members, including
five seniors and seven
juniors in agriculture. These men
included Claude Carter, Rouse
Farnham, David R. Griffin, W. R.
Langford, James P. Seal, Clifton

Winners in a pre-holiday encounter
with Lanett High's cagers
by a 30-29 score, the Auburn
freshmen go well into their 1941
basketball season this week, playing
three games, two in Alumni
Gym.
A return match with Lanett is
first on the menu, will be played
on the Lanett court Wednesday
night.
Two preliminaries round out the
week's action, both games coming
before the Auburn-Sewanee varsity
games of Friday and Saturday
night. Friday the Tigers of Auburn
High furnish the opposition,
while on Saturday night the frosh
take the floor against the quintet
representing the Columbus Manufacturers,
the Millers. Both games
will start at 6:15.
Coach Elmer Salter's squad,
promising in their first game in
which they soared from behind to
win with but three practice sessions
under their belts, have had
more time to iron out the creases
and should have less trouble than
in the first game.
Jule Mitchell was the first of
the frosh to jump into the public
eye, scoring ten of the points
against Lanett and otherwise
showing well. Eugene McKinney,
another forward, also stood out.
Probable Auburn lineups for
the three games of this week will
have Mitchell and McKinney at
the forward posts, Dyar at center,
and a choice from among McCain,
Green, Briscoll, and Lamb, guards.

Basketball Teams
Begin Practicing
With all company and battery
teams organized, except a few
batteries in the First Field Artillery,
ROTC intramural basketball
practice started this week.
All battery commanders are requested
by the intramural office
to submit a complete list of their
teams at the earliest possible
date, in order that schedules may
be worked out.
The newly adopted system of
intramural play is not intended in
any way to abolish any of the
regular independent intramural
teams. However, a player may not
shift from one team to another
after the season is started.
Special awards of gold and
silver basketballs will be made to
the members of the winning and
runner-up teams, respectively, at
the close of season's play.

Junior Candidates for Political
Positions Begin Campaigning
Hats Have Been in
The Ring Since 1938
By POLITICUS
In the Spring, Summer, Fall
and Winter, juniors' fancies
heavily turn to politics—and this
year's crop are not exceptions.
Since early in September . . .
wait . . . perhaps since early in
September 1938, aspirants for the
big senior jobs have been handshaking,
politicking, back-slapping,
apple polishing, and stooging
with big hopes for the mosta
of the besta. And now things are
beginning to shape up in such a
war that out of the scramble a
few names seem almost definitely
on the pre-view ballot for the
Spring elections. Of course, some
of them will probably back out—
or be talked or bribed out. Some
of them already have. After all,
the whole Junior class couldn't
very well run for even as many
senior offices as there are on the
slate.
If We Let You Out . . .
There are a few people that
have definitely taken a stand one
way or the other for the major
campus jobs. We don't know them
all. When this article is printed
no doubt the Plainsman office
will be beseiged with office-seekers
who just haven't as yet made
enough smoke to get their names
stuck around in the Plainsman
files of office-seekers. So just
come on around if we leave your
name out. Tell somebody down
here who you are, and what
you're running for, and we'll print
another article with all of your
life histories in it.
Prexy, Cabinet
Starting at what rightfully
should be the top, we'll take the
office of President of the Executive
Cabinet first. As yet we
don't know of but one candidate.
We're sure there are others. If
not there will be. But this one—
Billy Moore, now vice-president
of the Cabinet — is big enough
threat to keep most of the wise-guys
out. If you don't believe'
that, just ask either of his two
opponents in last year's scrap.
Moore is an Ag Man, a Kappa Alpha,
and is from Selma.
No Minor Candidates . . .
And perhaps now the time to
say that we won't try to get down
into the ranks of the vice-presidents
and secretaries and treasurers
of the class. There may be
some of these offices already
spoken for, but the list of candidates
for them will mostly be
made up of the fellows who would
rather have something else but
think they'd better not try. When
things get a little more certain
we'll write about them. O.K.?
Prexy, Class?
The next big senior job is that
of the presidency of the class.
There are rumors. But there isn't
| anything definite enough to see,
even.
Society Boys
Most closely contested place
will probably be that of the Chairman
of the Social Committee. Ag
Hill favorite is big Francis Crim-mins,
football player. He's an
Alpha Gamma Rho. This year's
class president, Craig Lee Jack-
; son, is also an aspirant for the
I job. Craig is a local product, a
j member of Sigma Nu frat. Latest
! rumored entrant is the maestro of
the Auburn Knights, Bobby Adair.
B. is an ATO, is from Hunts-ville.
We don't know what kind
of politician Bobby would make,
but he's certainly on the inside
for a job like that. Pi Kappa Phi
candidate will doubtless be Russell
Ambrose. Russ is from up around
Montevallo. He's already classed
as a ballot-boy, too. He's a class
officer this year. Dark Horse candidate
is Hooper Collier, whose
name hasn't been,on any election
slate as yet. He's a Phi Delta
Theta. Mentioned for the job has
been Jim Morgan, junior rep to
the Cabinet. Jim's another Pi
Kappa Phi. Maybe inter-frat complications
will arise. Gossip has
it that genial Dub Kelly may run
too. Dub's a born politico. He's a
Theta Chi, from Jasper.
Greek Prez
And then there's that matter of
the Presidency of the Interfrat
Council. They say that is strictly
an inside job. But it doesn't seem
that way. Seems to us that the
matter is usually settled on the
outside, even though nominations
are made from the floor of the
Council meeting. Gray Carter, Phi
from Columbus, has thrown his
hat into the ring. Tommy Schues-ler's
has been in. Tommy is a KA
from LaFayette. Must be somebody
else.
Would-be Publications
Those publications jobs are always
good. According to newspaper
ethics we'd better not men-ition
the fellows who are running
(for the editorial side of this paper.
I So we'll skip 'em.
But on the other side, that of
the Business Managership, there
are at least two candidates. Pi K
A Joe Gandy, who's slated to be
headcheerleader, is in the game.
Gandy's a Birmingham lad. Worthy
opponent is Jimmy Rouse, SAE
from Montgomery. This should be
the battle of the century. Mentioned
as a possible third party
candidate is ex-circulation manager
Roy Isbell, of Opelika. But
just mentioned.
Down behind Lang-don, around
the Glomerata office, they are
carrying on a little gossip as to
who might be running the book
next season. Top three candidates
are ATO Harry Huff, of Birmingham,
non-frat Joe Meadows, of
Opp, Alabama, and PiKA Brad
Clopton, from Columbus, Mississippi.
On the business side of the
petition, Sam Nettles has been in
for some time. Sam is a KA, from
Tunnel Springs. Rumor has it that
the aforementioned Gray Carter
may try for this post rather than
the Interfrat Council job.
Hope we haven't hurt anybody's
feelings. And good luck to
all of you!

AND ANOTHER BIG ADVANTAGE FOR YOU IN CAMELS —
WHEN all is said and done, the thing in smoking
is the smoke!
Yuur caste tells you that the smoke of slower-burning
Camels gives you extra mildness, extra coolness,
extra flavor.
Now Science tells you another important — and
welcome — fact about Camel's slower burning.
Less nicotine — in the smoke! 2X'! less nicotine
than the average of the other brands tested — /';/ the
smoke! Less than any of them — in the smoke! And
it's the smoke that reaches you.
Mark up another advantage for slow burning —
and for you!
Try Camels . . . the slower-burning cigarette . . . the
cigarette \\ith more mildness, more coolness, more
flavor, and less nicotine in the smoke! And more
smoking, too — as explained below, right.
"SMOKING OUT" THE FACTS about nicotine.
Experts, chemists analyze the smoke of 5 of the
largest-selling brands...find that the smoke of
slower-burning darnels contains less nicotine
than any of the other brands tested.
By burning 25% slower
'han the average of the i other of
the largest-selling brands tested —
slower than any of them — Camels
also give you a smoking plus equal,
on the average, to

Football prognosticators found that the
