Venezuelan Hiker
Stops Here on Trip
J*
Cortina Interviews
|ulio Berrizbertia
By HERBERT MARTIN
He's been* walking for four
years in order to learn to fly.
That's the story of Julio Cesar
Berrizbertia, Venezuelan Boy
Scout who reached here Wednes­day
as a stopping point on his
hike from his South American
country to Washington.
Julio is now wearing his fifty-second
pair of boots since he left
Venezuela four years ago with
five other youths to begin his
long-distance goodwill walk.
His plans call for walks to
Washington to see President Roo­sevelt,
from whom he hopes to
get a scholarship to study avia­tion,
and to whom he is to deliver
a letter from the President of
Venezuela, as well as a trip to
New York, where he plans to rest
and get his daily notes of his trip
in order. He speaks very little
English, but Tony Cortina, Au­burn
student from Mexico, spoke
to him for an hour or so in his
native Spanish tongue, and learn­ed
many interesting details of his
trip.
The 19 year old youth says that
it is all right to turn your back
to a charging mountain lion, but
don't make the mistake of ignor­ing
him. The animal pounced upon
Julio while the boy was sleeping,
but while the lion was tearing his
blankets to shreds, Julio whipped
out his knife and polished off the
foe. He has two souvenirs of this
encounter. The first is a leather
wrist guard made from the hide
of the animal, and the second is
shown by two deep claw marks on
his leg . . . about an inch wide
and four or five inches in length
. . . and several scars on his back.
He narrowly escaped death on
two more occasions. Once, a band
of hostile Indians attacked the
band with delightful little arrows
dipped in snake venom. One of
the hikers died as a result of this
encounter, and Julio lingered for
three months between heaven and
earth before recovering. Speak­ing
of the member who was kill­ed,
Julio said, "The Indians hurt,
him pretty bad, so he had to die!"
The third near-fatality occurred
as Julio crossed a ravine hundreds
of feet deep, and 20 or 30 feet
wide. The supporting pole broke,
and Julio still cannot tell how he
managed to get across.
Fever took its toll of the band,
and homesickness took care of the
rest, leaving Julio to carry on a-lone.
Arriving in Auburn, after hik­ing
from Montgomery in a little
more than a day, the 120 pound
Scout- put down his 100 ;p°tmd
pack and sat down for a rest. He
was immediately surrounded by
curious students and townsfolk,
but little was learned about him
until Tony Cortina arrived to take
over the questioning.
Julio was born in Madrid,
Spain, as were his mother and
father. His parents moved to Vene­zuela
early in his life.
After traveling through Mexico
for two years, Julio finally reach­ed
the United States. He has
walked every inch of the way,
even through Mexico's almost im-.
passible marshes and mountain
country, and was decorated by the
President of Mexico.
He expressed surprise at the ig­norance
shown by the inhabitants
of such a great and powerful
country as the United States.
"They asked me what flag it is I
have on my pack," he said, "and
it seems to me it's only fair if I
know their (American) flag, they
should know mine."
"They don't know what is be­low
the Rio Grande. They know
Mexico is there because of the
travelogues, but past that, only
Panama, for its canal. I can't un­derstand
them!"

Funds Raised for
Fountains by ODK
June 1 Is Scheduled
As Completion Date
Tuesday night's presentation of
the ODK Musical Miscellany rais­ed
sufficient funds for the con­struction
of the proposed foun­tains
to be placed on the west side
of Samford Hall. The total cost
of the fountains is expected to
amount to approximately $125,
and it is hoped that they will be
completed by June 1. Work has
already begun on the digging of
the ditches and laying of the water
and drain pipes.
The fountains are to be con­structed
of granite and are to be
provided with a plaque on which
will be engraved the explanation
that they were presented to the
college by ODK in 1941.
The layout behind Samford Hall
will be such that there will be
four diagonal walks which form
the center of two squares where
they cross. One fountain will be
situated in the center of each
square, surrounded by a 10 foot
circle of pavement.
"The construction of these
drinking fountains," said Mr. Sam
Brewster, Director of Buildings
and Grounds, "is in my opinion
one of the finest projects ODK
could have sponsored. They will
be of such construction that they
will last for years to come, and
hundreds of thousands of people
may make use of them in the fu­ture."

Three Mechanical
Instructors Added
To API Faculty
Recent additions to the faculty
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
are two instructors in Me­chanical
Engineering. The men
are Clarence H. Long of Ports­mouth,
Va., and Thomas J. Hails
of Montgomery.
Mr. Long has earned three de­grees
from the Virginia Polytech­nic
Institute. He received his B.S.
degree in Mechanical Engineering
in 1939, his B.S. degree in Elec­trical
Engineering in 1940, and
his M.S. degree in Power and Fuel
in 1941.
Mr. Hails earned his B.S. de­gree
in Chemical Engineering at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1923, and received
his A.B. degree from Spring Hill
in 1919.
Mr. Hails has already come to
Auburn, and Mr. Long will join
the staff at a later date.
Caps and Gowns
A special notice was issued from
Burton's Book Store yesterday urg­ing
all seniors and faculty members
who have not been measured for
their caps and gowns to do so at
once. The latest time that they can
be measured is May 1st. Arrange­ments
should be made immediately.
Propose Voluntary
Fingerprinting in
Registration Lines
Sponsored by Squires, honorary
sophomore service fraternity for
men, and Owls, honorary service
organization for women, a drive
for the fingerprinting of all mem­bers
of the student body and fac­ulty
of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute was launched this morn­ing
after several days preparation.
Following the nation-wide trend
of colleges all over the country, it
is proposed that members of the
student body be voluntarily fin­gerprinted
in the registration lines
this spring, when under new rul­ing,
the entire student body will
make out their schedules for the
forthcoming year.
Previous to the launching of the
drive, many students were asked
for their opinions of the desirabil­ity
of such a movement, and an al­most
unanimous majority - was
found to be enthusiastically in ac­cord
with the plan.
Among the benefits derived from
such a movement is the protection
afforded the individual by way of
a fool-proof means of identifica­tion.
In case of accident or death
in the immediate future or in later
years, the individual involved can
be positively identified and his sit­uation
cared for promptly. In event
of such disasters as amnesia the
fingerprints of the victim can be
taken and compared with those on
file, and in this manner his family
can be located and he can be re­turned
to his home.
The materials and equipment
necessary and the technical advice
and assistance needed will be pro­vided
through the facilities of the
Federal Bureau of Investigaton, the
State Law Enforcement Agency,
and the State Toxicologists Depart­ment
located in the L Building.
If the present plan is as well
endorsed as it has been in other
colleges throughout the country, it
is proposed that the fingerprinting
of students become a permanent
and voluntary function of the reg­istration
process. Under this plan,
all students who register at Au­burn
for the first time may be
fingerprinted when they do so.

McClanahan is also an electrical
engineering senior. He is from
Hartselle, Ala.
This election will be held next
week, according to Tom Roby,
chairman of the elections com­mittee,
but the date has not been
definitely set as yet. The election
will probably be on Wednesday or
Thursday, but even this is not def­inite.
Full particulars of this elec­tion
will be given in Tuesday's
Plainsman.
Student voters, at the regular
.spring elections, voted to amend
the constitution to allow for a co­op
representative to the Cabinet.
The voting next week will name
the representative for the time
this group is in school. The incom­ing

Three Instructors
Join Aeronautical
Engineering Staff
Information has been released
from the Engineering School that
provision has been made for the
addition of three instructors to the
staff of the Aeronautical School.
As yet, no one has been employed
to fill the vacancy left in the de­partment
by the resignation of Lt.
B. M. Cornell. An able and ex­perienced
man has been promised
to the department by next fall, it
was said.
The other recent additions to
the staff are two former Auburn
students.
Wilmot G. Rhodes has his ground
and flight instructor's rating and
is the holder of a Commercial Pil­ot's
Certificate. Mr. Rhodes in­tends
to work next summer on his
master's degree in Aeronautical
Engineering at New York Univer­sity.
M. J. Fortner is the holier of
Commercial Pilot's Certificate,
and he plans to attend the Univer­sity
of Michigan this summer for
work on his master's degree in
aeronautical engineering.

Nice Going Trigger
And Kirk
The long awaited Glomeratas are out.
Many students received their copies of
the yearbook on Tuesday night, after
the ODK miscellany. The remainder of
the student body stood in line sometime
Wednesday or Thursday, or today to get
the yearbook.
And after a look through the new
book, we are ready to congratulate the
competent staff of the Glomerata, under
the leadership of Trigger McGehee, for
turning out a really swell piece of work.
The book is well balanced, colorful and
in some instances, really original. New
tones, colors, departments and a differ­ent
style of cover add distinction and
readability to the book.
The Glomerata's "ace in the hole" is
the beautiful water-color picture of old
Langdon Hall which decorated the cov­er.
The cover itself is of a canvas com­position,
and the colorful old building
lends itself well to the cover decoration.
Student interest has been manifested
most in the enlarged and equally good
snapshot section. A nalural point of in­terest,
this section this year should be
adequate to satisfy the students.
Trigger and his staff should be con­gratulated,
too, for the ability to get
their publication out on schedule. The
Glomerata is one of the two yearbooks
in the south now ready for student con­sumption.
Autograph fans will have
plenty of time to work.
The Plainsman-Graft Wave feud is
over, so we can truthfully say, "You've
put out a fine book, and we appreciate
it."
The P. O. Again
Several editorials have been written
about the United States post office and
the way it handles the excessive amount
of mail coming into Auburn for the stu­dents
and the residents of Auburn. But,
nothing seems to have been done about
the situation.
We understand that the post office in
this town holds first class rating. We
also understand that the term "first
class" means that it handles a very large
amount of mail, much more than the
second or third class post offices. By
terms of the standard dictionary "first
class" means "of the highest quality".
In either event or case the service is
nothing to brag about.
The staff of the office is not large
enough in the first place to handle the
increasing large amount of mail that is
growing as rapidly as the student body.
And there is another thing that is
especially disconcerting to the students
and to the visitors to Auburn. This is the
friendly attitude for which Auburn has
always been noted. But, do the clerks
and the employees of the post office fol­low
this highly prized custom? No and
emphatically NO! »
As far as we have seen there is one
clerk that speaks and smiles to you when
he meets you on the street as he is
delivering his mail. He smiles so much
it makes you think that he is trying to
make up for his fellow employees.
With these two major facts in mind,
can't something be done to remedy the
situation? This would help the students
and the townspeople equally as much.
Surely Uncle Sam can afford to hire
one or two more clerks to clear up the
congestion in Auburn's mail service. I
think the employees themselves would
appreciate this move no little bit.—G.H.
Birmingham and Auburn
They call Birmingham "The Magic
City." Nobody around here seems to
know where that name came from. But
everybody agrees that it's a good one.
Birmingham furnishes Auburn with
quite a number of its students. Birming­ham's
Auburn alumni association chap­ter
is one of the largest and most active
in the nation.
For the past ten years, with the
g r o w t h of Auburn, Birmingham's
"school interests" have been steadily
swinging in a Southeastward direction
—toward Auburn. And Birmingham has
proved this swing in other ways than by
sending students and organizing their
alumni chapter.
Each year Auburn plays at least one
football game on Birmingham's Legion
Field. Each year Birmingham turns out
in numbers to support the Auburn ag­gregation
and the Auburn students.
If Auburn wants to put on a parade
in Birmingham, t h e n Birmingham
blocks off its streets, drapes its windows,
and stands around watching the parade.
Birmingham seems to pull good will
and support out of hats and hidden
pockets.
Birmingham is indeed "The Magic
City."
Archery Range . . .
Plainsman columnist Bob Chisolm sug­gested
in Tuesday's paper that the arch­ery
range be moved to a less dangerous
location. He suggested the corner of the
stadium for the new place.
We think this suggestion good, and we
also like the idea of moving those steel-tipped
arrows, which have already pierc­ed
one leg, to another spot. Although ar­chery
classes are held during regular
class periods, there are still students
who might desire to cross this ground,
although there are probably few who
would care to dispute the ground with
an angry Pocahontas.
We crossed in the middle of the per­iod
the other day. We were chided none
too gently for the gall we showed in dis­puting
the right of way with the im­plements
of earlier, wars. While real­izing
that the smart thing to do is to let
the arrow, steel tip and all, hold pos­session
of any land it traverses, we
somewhat resent being pushed around
by a couple of pieces of wood and a
leather thong.
Archery is a healthful sport. It is fine
for girls to learn to support cupid by the
practice thereof. It is not so fine to en­danger
vulnerable student anatomies by
parking the target in front of a thor­oughfare.
We are not sure the stadium corner
would be the place. We are not sure
where the best place would be, but we
feel sure that the present location is
about the worst. We'll miss the sight of
beautiful young girls drawing the bow,
but we'll feel a lot easier in our mind as
we pass.—H.M.
Auburn tennis courts look like a plow­ed
field after a thunder-shower. The
new ones are under construction . . . the
old ones under destruction.
The New Classroom Building is still as
bell-less as a lost calf. We'd even like a
radio hook-up with Denny Chimes.
In the absence of the editor, the man­aging
editor, the associate editor, and
the sports editor, this issue of the Plains­man
was edited by sophomore members
of the staff. Taking the places of the edi­tors
are Jimmy Gilbert, George Heard,
Art Jones, and Warren Fleming.

Except for the occasional clatter of passing cavalry, the practically
unattended concert of recorded music sponsored last Sunday afternoon
by the Auburn Players was as smooth and full as if a flesh and
blood orchestra had been there. Band concerts in the park have played
a conspicuous part in the American tradition; and the Players' pro­grams,
of which three more are scheduled for the next three Sunday
afternoons, have much the same restful quality.

A young woman who had recently been brought into the field of
the Salvation Army was standing on a street corner beating a drum
and giving testimony. "I was a bad little girl," she sang out, "and I
used to smoke! But I got converted, and now I don't do that any more."
She beat on the drum. "I was a very bad little girl," she continued,
"and I used to drink! But I got converted, and now I don't do that
any more." She beat on the drum a little more. "I was a terrible little
girl, and I used to go around with married men! But I got converted,
and now I don't do that any more." She started to beat on the drum
again, but she stopped. "In fact," she confided to passers-by, "I don't

The ODK project to place water fountains behind Samford Hall is,
I hope, an indication of a reviving desire on the part of the student
body to give memorial gifts to the school. Auburn is somewhat lacking
in that traditional love of alma mater which has made so many schools
both in England and in this country the beloved institutions they are.
I wish the custom of class gifts to the college could be resumed.
Benches and fountains and the like with little bronze plaques on them
add a great deal to the atmospheres of colleges.

I have been very much interested in Harry Hopkins, the President's
friend and adviser, especially since he assumed his unique place as
First Boarder of the land. In last week's Saturday Evening Post the
first of two articles about Hopkins, written by Marquis Childs of
"Sweden—the Middle Way" fame, is extremely impressive. Hopkins
certainly has a seldom equalled gold mine of material for sensational
autobiography; and as soon as his daughter Diana is old enough, I'll
bet she gets rich on her memoirs.

Last summer I was hiking in the North Carolina mountains on the
American Youth Hostel Trails. At Max Patch the AYH trail coincides
with the famous Georgia-to-Maine Appalachian Trail, and for fifteen
miles or so hostelers clamber over Snowbird Mountain. Somewhere
along this stretch my companion and I separated; and, after several
hours of vertical struggling, I noted with dismay that the trail was
no longer with me. After admitting to myself that I was lost, I felt
like another Daniel Boone as I started following a half-dry stream,
which obviously couldn't go anywhere but down. At length I came
upon a shanty, and on its sagging porch reclined a mountaineer whose
main characteristics were a somnolent head and big, bare, and exceed­ingly
black feet. In answer to my request for directions, this dis­reputable
person mumbled, not to me, but to the landscape, "Them as
gits themselves lost ought to git themselves found agin without bother-in'
other folks." And so back to the descending stream.

This year's Glomerata deserves a great deal of praise because it
succeeds more thoroughly than any of its predecessors with which I
am familiar in presenting an accurate pictorial record of the college.
I pay it the highest compliment an annual can get when I say that
it is actually the Diary of API, 1940-41.
War—Right or Wrong?
An Editorial by VIVIAN STALLWORTH
"The United States is already at war on the moral and spiritual
front." (We quote a statement made by the United States Office of
Education, Washington, D. C.) "Its institutions, its way of life, its
principles of democracy, its form of government are being attacked
NOW by organized propaganda machines. Dictators openly announce
that they plan to attack all democratic societies by propaganda designed
to confuse, frighten, divide and demoralize the citizens. Only as a
last resort do they intend to defeat a democracy by force of arms."
The evil of propaganda lies in the fact that it stifles individuality
and tends to form for us (though we are unconscious of the fact) con­victions
which we would never adopt if we should only think things
out for ourselves.
Our convictions, regardless of the manner in which they are formed,
determine the stand we take in regard to war.
We all are probably anxious to find the Christian solution to the
problem of war. But what are we doing to find this solution? To
whom are we going for advice?
There is no earthly person who can tell us, "Thu is the right atti­tude
toward war and that is wrong". The question of war is one that
each of us mutt answer, and one that each must answer for himself.
To find the Christian solution we must consult Christ. Let us pray
over the matter and have faith that God will direct us in such a way
that some day love will rule the world, casting out all hate, jealousy,
and greed, the source of war and its evils.
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.
Subbing for these feature writ­ers
who suddenly decide to take
a "short vacation" is getting to
be a habit. The SV disease seems
to be contagious too. First it was
the Filcher, Art Jones and now it
is the Plains Talker, Herbert Mar­tin.
Guess it must be the atmos­phere
this time of year or to put
it Plains Talk—just pure laziness.
* * *
Still can't figure out why all
this sudden dissension about South
and Latin American countries. I
don't see any reason why we
should not be friends with them;
more reason to than not to. Takes
a lot less energy to smile at some­body
than to frown at them, and
right now I can use all the energy
I can get. Maybe this is TOO
Plains.
* * *
When I walked in the office a
few minutes ago I over heard
some one on the business staff
remark that H.M. kept on one sub­ject
too much and the subjects he
spoke on weren't the least bit in­teresting.
I'm trying to keep off
one subject but as far as finding
something interesting to write
about is concerned, that is a horse
of another color. Or shape. Or
sumpin'.
* * *
Just had a gander at the new
Glomerata and for once the ed­itorial
staff of the Plainsman
wishes to congratulate the Graff
Wave heads. That is some book
and they have really done a swell
job which is going to be hard to
beat in the coming years. We
haven't seen any digs at the
Plainsman so far but we hardly
think it possible that they would
let such a good opportunity to
slip by without saying something
—even if it is bound to be bad
as is expected.
* * *
Spring will soon be over and
then summer will roll around and
in three months falLwill be back
and bring with it school and more
trouble. It won't be long now.
Just like prosperity, always just
around the corner. School itself
is not so bad. In fact, I can even
get something out of a couple of
my classes, but it is this idea of
final exams in the heat of the day
(or any temperature) that makes
me wonder if it is all worth it.
* * *
Running out of dope to write
about I turned to our extensive
library up here. We have all of
one book and it is a text book
which belongs to some student
who left it up here the night of
the election. Guess the poor boy
must have lost it and was too
heart broken to remember he went
to school. Can't say as I can blame
him, because with half the student
body against politicians and the
other half too young to vote for
or against him, it is all but dis­couraging
to the future Senators
and Presidents of our country.
* * *
After rereading that last para­graph
I can't understand how I
got off on the subject of poli­ticians
and their problems. Any­body
subbing for a feature writer
for one issue has enough prob­lems
without bringing in anything
new.
* * *
Anyway, getting back to this
book I found in our "extensive"
library, I found that a good and
successful writer must have sev­eral
qualities that the average
person doesn't need. One of these
is a nose that senses the news and
the unique. This may give some
of our budding freshmen writers
the wrong idea, so if any suspici­ous
characters are seen about, the
best plan would be to ignore them.
* * *
Another "good quality" to have
is an indispensible note book
which can be purchased in any
five and ten store. The purpose
of this little item is to record the
"tips" and scoops that might slip
the rriind before the writer has
time to forget. I guess this is to
give the writer confidence.
* * *
I was told to write a lot of non­sense
when I started this bit of
journalism but even a red-head has
some seriousness about him. Most
of this stuff has been just plain
ramblings anyway and not much
sense either.
* * *
Despite all of this roaming
about I have enjoyed the "trip"
and the work and I only hope you
don't stop reading H. M.'s column
because of this. Merry Christmas.
(It's not far off.)
Why Shouldn't This Happen?
(Editor's Note: This is an ar­ticle
that appeared on the ed­itorial
page of the April 19th. is­sue
of the Hattiesburg (Miss.)
American. The point is obvious.)
Pressure on the American-Brit­ish
lines was terrific. The Huns
and their Asiatic allies were send­ing
over thousands of bombing
and fighter planes. Tons of high
explosives and millions of ma­chine
gun bullets were raining
death into the fields, the wood­lands
and the trenches.
Weary-eyed, haggard staff of­ficers
huddled over maps. Their
breathing rasped through white,
tight lips.
An orderly stepped forward
suddenly and saluted:
"A messenger, General."
'"Bring him in."
A white-faced aide in the intel­ligence
section reported.
He saluted.
"Well?" said the General.
"Sir, the enemy soon will be
through our center. The battle is
lost."
The officers leaped up.
"What?" they- cried.
"Yes Sir; it pains me to report
Sir, but the entire enlisted per­sonnel
of the Oak and Iron Di­visions
have struck."
"What?" screamed the officers.
"Yes, Sir, struck is what I said,
Sir.
"The men have appointed di­visional
committees which sent me
to report, Sir, that they are serv­ing
the usual five-day notice of
intention to quit. The infantry in­tends
to stick their rifles, muz­zle-
first, in the mud; the air force
intends to jimmy the plane
motors; and the artillery intends
to wreck all firing mechanism un­less
their demands are met. The
committee is outside now, Sir."
"Bring them in."
Six soldiers, unmarked by bat­tle,
enter.
"Who are you?" cries the Gen­eral.
As spokesman for our abused
mates," said one, "I am an or­ganizer
in charge of bargaining
$
for the Oak and Iron Division en­listed
personnels.
"Briefly, and to arrive quickly
at the point, the men have held
a collective labor election and
mass-meeting.
"They have itemized the follow­ing
complaints:
" 1 . On Thursday last one of
our agents discovered in a field ""
kitchen garbage can a flour sack
which did not carry the imprint
of the Union of Amalgamated
sack Weavers. We refuse to eat
any bread made from flour pack­ed
in such non-union sacks.
"2. We also have definite in­formation
that the boots found on
the body of a lieutenant were
manufactured from the hide of a
Brazilian bull in defiance of the
federal laws prohibiting the use
of the meat or skins of foreign-raised
beef animals.
"3. The men further demand
that the base pay scale for pri­vates
be raised 20 cents an hour
during non-action periods and 50
cents an hour during battle per­iods.
"4. It also is further demanded
that Private Jimgin who recently
was deprived of his first-class rat­ings
for slowing down during an
infantry charge, be restored to
active duty and be promoted to a
first lieutenant and that his pay
raise be retroactive to the first of
January.
"Within the next five days, un­less
our terms are met, we will
proceed to do our duty by our
organization and order the men,
not only to cease fighting, but to
sabotage all equipment in both di­visions."
As the six organizers turned to
leave a tumult started outside the
tent.
The officers rushed to the tent
flap and peered into the faces of *--2?"
German shock troops who had
cracked through the "struck" cen­ter
and enveloped the general
staff headquarters.
"Is this one of the prices a
Democracy has to pay?" muttered
the General, as he was marched
off between two German guards.

Makes Part Expenses
By Being 'Fire-Eater'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (ACP)
Reed B. Dawson of Mount Vern­on,
N. Y., is paying part of his
college expenses by acting as a
"fire-eater."
He is a junior at Harvard and
his acts have made him a popu­lar
attraction at Boston parties.
His specialty is setting fire to his
hands and letting the flames
creep up his arms.
"It really only tickles," he said,
"though most people think you
are burning to death. I do it all
with chemicals."
Swallowing fire, he said, is just
like breathing in warm air — if
done properly.

Fonda, Stanwyck
In Film at Tiger
"The Lady Eve" Shows
Sunday and Monday
If ever a picture showed prom­ise
of being the comedy hit of the
year it is Paramount's new ex­cursion
into the laugh field, "The
Lady Eve," written and directed
by Preston Sturges and starring
Barbara Stanwyck and Henry
Fonda in the chief comedy roles.
Featured in the brilliant cast of
the picture, which will be shown
Sunday and Monday at the Tiger
Theatre, are such always-welcome
players as Charles Coburn, Eu­gene
Pallette, William Demarest,
Eric Blore, Martha O'Driscoll and
Luis Alberni.
Even Hollywood, supposed to be
accustomed to the unusual, was
amazed at the rapid-fire pace that
Sturges set when he completed
three pictures in approximately a
year. The remarkable thing is
that they're all hits! First came
"The Great McGinty," which
Sturges then followed up with last
season's solid comedy success,
"Christmas in July." Now, he
comes up with a picture, "The
Lady Eve," which advance reports
say is the best thing Sturges has
done to date. Hollywood is al­ready
hailing Sturges as a genius
at handling comedy. "The Sturges
touch" is by way of becoming as
real and distinguished as the
vaunted "Lubitsch touch."
"The Lady Eve" is about a rich
young man, an expert on snakes,
a naive fellow, not very worldly,
who becomes the target for a gang
of slick international cardsharps,
as he is returning aboard ship
from an Amazonian expedition.

Commerce Ball to Be Held Tonight in
Graves Center; Plainsmen Will Play
Commerce Queen to Be Announced;
Dance Will Be Semi-Formal Affair
The annual Commerce Ball will be held tonight at
9:00 in Graves Center. The Ball, which has been spon­sored
by Delta Sigma Pi honorary business fraternity for
the last several years, will be highlighted by the presen­tation
of the coed chosen as Commerce Queen.
The selection of the Commerce Queen was made by
the students of Business Administration and Secretarial
Training in the election last Wednesday. The nominees
for the successor to Betty Belle
Brandt, last year's choice as
"Queen of the Commerce Ball"
included Sara Boles, Notasulga;
Frances Plaxco, Russellville; Dot
Smith, Union Springs; Frances
^Ellis, Centre; Madrid Davis, Au­burn;
Monta Mitchell, Tallassee;
Martha Gardner, Huntsville; An­nie
Lyde Lewis, Tuskegee; Jean
Atkins, Jasper; Helen Jordan,
Birmingham; Doris Greeson, Ce-dartown,
Georgia; and Willie
Chase, St. Petersburg, Florida.
The election for the Commerce
Queen is probably the only elec­tion
of the campus the result of
which is really secret. Not even
the president of Delta Sigma Pi,
national professional fraternity
which is sponsoring the election,
knows who has been chosen un­til
he receives the notice from
the professors who will count the
votes. This year the results will
not be known until the time for
the presentation of the winner at
the ball tonight. Even the win­ning
coed herself will not know
until she hears her name read by
the orchestra leader.
All Business Administration and
Secretarial Training students were
eligible to vote in the election
Wednesday, and most of them did
vote. Frank Wilson, president of
Delta Sigma Pi, said that the num­ber
of voters exceeded the num­ber
of bids. He had to have an­other
supply printed so that each
voter could be given a bid to the
dance when he voted.
The young ladies who have
been nominated for the title of
Commerce Queen will attend the
dance tonight, and just previous
to the leadout, the winner of the
title will be announced and pre­sented
with a bouquet of red
roses, the flower of the frater­nity.
The girls will be lined up in a
semi-circle at the opposite end of
the hall from the band at the time
As president of Delta Sigma
Phi, Frank Wilson, senior from
Greenville, will have the job of
presenting a bouquet of red roses
to some Auburn coed tonight at
the Commerce Day Ball, thus noti­fying
her that she has been se­lected
Commerce Queen.
sters is Barbara Stanwyck, who
didn't plan to let love take a hand
when she marked the rich young
man, Henry Fonda, as a card vic­tim.
When Fonda learns she's a
double-dealer at cards, he's sure
she's a double-crosser about being
in love with him, and he quits
her. But Barbara can't be brush­ed
off that easily.
Posing as a titled Englishwom­an,
"The Lady Eve," she gains en­trance
into the circle of wealthy
families Fonda hobnobs with,
through the aid of a former con­federate,
Eric Blore, who presents
her as his niece. Fonda allows
himself to be convinced he has
never seen "Lady Eve" before,
and sets down her resemblance to
the beautiful cardsharp as a
miraculous coincidence. Although
he's still in love with the clever
card-lady, he marries the girl he
believes to be her double, "The
Lady Eve."
From this set of circumstances,
Sturges has woven what advance
reports agree is some of the smart­est
comedy in many screen sea­sons.
For Fonda, his role in the
Sturges picture must have come
like sunlight into a dark-gray
scene, for his last few pictures
have been rather on the grim,
dramatic side. In this picture,
however, Fonda slips the tether
and is allowed to run riot in light,
farcical comedy. He even is per­mitted
the luxury of wearing eve­ning
clothes after being in rough
denim and dungarees in films for
so long. Miss Stanwyck, too, gets
a chance to don some eye-opening
clothes. As a matter of fact,
Sturges, in one scene, says in his
script, "She wears a nightgown
that makes our senses reel."

of the event. After the leader of
the orchestra reads the winner's
name, Frank Wilson, president of
Delta Sigma Pi, will go to the
winner and present her with the
flowers, then walk with her to the
front of the hall.
The elections committee has
taken precautions that no one
should learn the name of the win­ner.
The name of the winning co­ed
has been written on a sheet of
paper and sealed, and it will not
be opened until tonight at the
dance.
The Auburn Plainsmen will
play for the semi-formal affair.
Decorations will be simple, con­sisting

name on the backdrop behind the
band.

on the campus have

Laboratory Unique in
U.S. Operated Here
Tillage Lab Tests
Farming Machinery
By BEDDING SUGG
A laboratory unique in the
United States and in some re­spects
in the world has been in
operation at Auburn since its com­pletion
in 1935. The little known
Tillage Machinery Laboratory, a
part of the United States Depart­ment
of Agriculture's Bureau of
Agricultural Chemistry and Engi­neering,
is located in the middle
of the Alabama Experiment Sta­tion,
with which it cooperates.
The laboratory was established,
according to its official descrip­tive
bulletin, to provide facilities
for comprehensive studies of till­age
tools under controlled condi­tions
in a variety of soils. Plows,
harrows, and other tillage imple­ments
can be tested under differ­ent
soil conditions within a very
short time without the objection­able
variables which are encount­ered
in field testing.
The principal building of the
laboratory contains offices, a soils
laboratory, a photographic dark
room, a drafting room, a machine
shop, and storage space for heavy
equipment.
The largest part of the labora­tory
consists of 11 bins or plots
of soil, seven of which are 20 feet
wide and 250 feet long and the
remaining four of which are 20 by
125 feet. All the bins are two feet
deep and separated by reinforced
concrete walls along which run
heavy H-beam rails used in the
operation of testing equipment.
On these rails run a soil-fitting
car, a power car, and cover cars,
each of which is wide enough to
bridge the bins so that only the
tool being tested touches the soil.
The equipment for fitting soils to
the desired conditions for testing
consist of a tractor or utility car
in which various types of tillage
implements may be mounted.
Fitting soils for testing includes
a number of operations depending
on the state in which the soils
were left by preceding tests.
Lumps are broken up and smooth­ed
out, the subsoil is evenly work­ed,
the plot is rolled into any de­sired
compactness, and, if neces­sary,
water is applied to achieve
any desired moisture content. The
plot is finally "shaved" just be­fore
the test is run to as nearly
a plane surface as possible.
The test equipment consists of
two major units, a power car on
which is mounted a special instru­ment
called a dynamometer and
Engineers' Banquet
Held Wednesday at
Pitts Green Room
The Student Engineers' Council
held a banquet Wednesday night
in the Pitts Hotel Green Room as
the last official meeting of the
year. Dr. L. N. Duncan arid most
members of the engineering facul­ty
were present, as well as mem­bers
of the Council.
Leroy Thompson, president of
the group, presided for the first
part of the meeting as toastmaster,
and turned the seat over to Hold-man
Baker, newly elected presi­dent,
at the conclusion of the
meal.
After the banquet, members and
guests were entertained with a
baseball movie short.

the test unit car. The dynamo­meter
measures the components
of the draft of the tools being
tested and records them on a
graph. The test unit measures and
records the forces necessary to
hold various tools in their work­ing
positions.
The power car is an unusual
piece of machinery which straddles
the plots, resting on eight large
pneumatic tires which run along
the tracks on the dividing walls.
It weighs nine tons and furnishes
a motive power of from 0.2 miles
an hour to 10 miles an hour with
its 135 h.p. gasoline motor.
Photographic equipment is a-vailable
to record the features of
tests. In addition to equipment for
taking of still pictures, motion
picture cameras may be used to
record the action of any -tool or
machine as it is tested.
The soils in the bins are select­ed
to obtain as broad a variation
as possible in soil characteristics
which affect the behavior of till­age
machinery and implements.
Soils at the laboratory include
Norfolk Sand and Cecil Clay from
local lands; Lufkin, Huston, Oktib­beha,
and Eutaw Clays from the
Alabama Black Belt; Sharkey
Clay from the Mississippi Delta;
Decatur Clay from the Tennessee
Valley; and Davidson Loamy Sand
and Clay.
To avoid as far as possible the
introduction of variables into the
tests, the soils in the laboratory
bins are kept free of vegetation.
After four years in the bins the
soils show no significant changes
from the field soils from which
they were dug. The soils are pro­tected
by cover cars made of tin

NEXT DOOR TO THEATRE
Last Monday an announcement
was made that the ROTC cadets
would be permitted to wear cotton
shirts to drill for the remainder
of the year was welcome news.
We have campaigned for quite a
while for this change. Our writing
may or may not have had anything
to do with it, but we feel that the
military department has the inter­est
of the cadets at heart.
A change in the regulation uni­form
requires quite a bit of red
tape, and one of the main reasons
for hesitancy in doing something
about the heavy wool uniforms is
that the student will have to pay
an extra amount for the issuance
of a cotton uniform.
The military department is work­ing
on some scheme to settle the
situation, and hopes to have some­thing
settled very soon. They should
be congratulated for their actions
in regards to the uniform situation.

The ODK-Musical Miscellany was
a glorious success. The mobs and
mobs of people who packed, jam­med
and crowded into Langdon
Hall Tuesday night certainly got
their money's worth.
Every act] was excellent, and
API ghould be proud that there
is so much talent on the campus.
A grand idea would be to have
such a show about once every three
months. This would give the the
atrically inclined people a chance
to produce a few shows.

New Uniform Rules
Given Again as
Student Reminder
In order that confusion may be
cleared up as to the correct uni­form
on different occasions, the
Plainsman once again publishes
the regulations set up by the Mili­tary
Department.
1. After Tuesday, April 22nd,
the uniform for drill will be uni­form
caps, civilian cotton shirts,
any color without neck ties, uni­form
trousers, black shoes. Cadet
officers will wear white shirts,
black ties, Sam Browne belts and
sabers.
2. There will be no drill on
Thursday, May 8th and Tuesday,
May 13th. Tuesday, May 6th, will
be a practice review preparatory
to the review for the inspectiong
officer, May 12th.
3. There will be a review of .the
entire Corps Saturday, May 10th,
at 11:00 a.m. for the Alumni. Uni­form
for all members of the
Corps: Uniform cap, white shirt
with black tie, belt, uniform trous­ers,
black shoes.
4. For the annual inspection
May 12th and 13th, the uniform
cap, grey shirt, black tie, grey
trousers and black shoes are re­quired
for all ROTC classess. For
drill and review at 3:00 p.m. Mon­day,
May 12th, the uniform will
be caps, blouses, white shirts,
black ties, grey trousers, black
shoes.

of the Glomerata staff should
be complimented for their laborious
efforts for they have turned out
a very worthy product.

The lines of students waiting for
the Glomeratas last night reminded
us of the queues of people waiting
for food in France. There was
one very noticeable difference, our
students all had pleased looks on
their faces. As a matter of fact
they seemed at peace with the
whole world in general.

The crowded condition of Lang'

been a fire inspector's nightmare.
Such conditions are far from safe,
and although a fire is not probable,
it is not impossible. It is terrify

Tuesday night had a confla­gration
broken out. A mob like
that would not have left the place
in an orderly fashion. A great,

of extending the selective service

we'll never get out of school. And
there'll be a lot of young ladies

Oracles to Assist
Sphinx in Drive

For Recreational Cabin
Oracles honor society for girls

of a recreational cabin

'That Night in Rio'
At Martin Sunday
Ameche, Faye, Miranda
Star in Exotic Movie
The glamour and romance sug­gested
by the soft Brazilian moon,
the throbbing rhythm of the Sam­ba,
and the tantalizing movements
of exotic dancers provide the
background for 20th Century-
Fox's Technicolor, musical, "That
Night in Rio," which stars Alice
Faye, Don Ameche and Carmen
Miranda, and opens Sunday at the
Martin Theatre.
This latest cinematic contribu­tion
of the studio that produced
"Down Argentine Way" and "Tin
Pan Alley" is sprinkled with
catchy tunes by those master
tunesmiths, Mack Gordon and
Harry Warren. The vivacious Car­men,
who is accompanied by her
Banda Da Lua, finds plenty of
reasons to sing and dance when
"I'yi, Yi, Yi, Yi," "Chica, Chica,
Boom Chic," "Boa Noite" (Good
Night), "They Met in Rio" and
"The Baron Is in Conference"
are played.
Neatly interspersed with the
catchy tunes "That Night in Rio"
is the intriguing story of a double-dealing
double, Don Ameche, who
portrays first an American night
club performer in love with his
singing and dancing partner, the
glamorous Carmen Miranda. But
he is also a Brazilian boulevardier,
Baron Buarte, married to the al­luring
Alice Faye. It is comedy
at its best, and according to pre­view
critics, it is tops as enter­tainment.
Carmen Miranda, who was so
sensational in "Down Argentine
Way," is given a chance to act
a full-length role in "That Night
in Rio." As the flighty, fiery
songstress, she displays her violent
disapproval of her American boy
friend in both English and Portu­guese.
The Brazilian "Bombshell"
introduces her native dance, the
Samba, to the American movie au­dience,
and the chorus, trained
by Miss Miranda, and Dance Di­rector
Hermes Pan, is said to be
outstanding.
Alice Faye emerges in "That
Night in Rio" as an ultra-smart
and fashionably gowned society
queen. As the wife of the baron
her outfits are striking—and her
songs are, as always, a highlight
of the film.
The full richness of Rio's night
life and the vivid costumes of the
performers are captured by the
magic of Technicolor. Amidst
these gorgeous surroundings Di­rector
Irving Cummings has fash­ioned
an outstanding piece of en­tertainment.
The supporting cast, which in­cludes
S. Z. Sakall, J. Carrol
Naish, Curt Bois and Leonid Kins-key,
all accomplished character
actors, has received its share of
the plaudits. The screen play,

Miscellany Attenders
Get 800 Yearbooks
By ART JONES
Eight hundred Glomeratas were
issued under cover of night last
Tuesday evening following the
presentation of the annual ODK
Musical Miscellany. Eager faces
hastily scanned the pages of the
1941 yearbook by light of the star­lit
sky.
As soon as the musical came to
an end, Bill "Trigger" McGehee
unlocked the doors of the Graft
Wave office, admitted the mem­bers
of his staff, and then depart­ed
in a cloud of dust for parts
unknown. After taking one look
at the Glomerata, members of the
Auburn student body began con­tributing
toward a fund to be
used as a reward for the person
or persons who capture the Glom
Chief dead or alive.
While carousing in the vicinity
of the Glomerata office, your re­porter
overheard a number of
opinions expressed. The opinions
ran something like this:
"Well, I have two more lines
to stand in here at Auburn, one
to collect my contingent deposit,
and the other to receive my di­ploma."
"Every year they say it (the
Glomerata) is not half as good as
last year's but I don't think any­one
will say that this year."
"I'm a freshman and this is the
first Glomerata I've seen, but it
looks good to me."
Said a member of the Glomera­ta
staff. "I believe without a
doubt that the 1941 edition of the
Glomerata is the most beautiful­ly
bound, most attractively com­posed,
most exquisite and lovely,
most magnificent and colossal,
most stupendous and astounding,
and positively the most amazing
volume I have even had the honor
or pleasure of caressing with my
ocular orbs."
Said editor Trigger McGehee,
just before his departure: "Ah'm
gettin' tha H__ out of here!"

Track Team Leaves for Atlanta
Best Team in Years
Reported for Auburn
Inexperienced Performers Counted on
Heavily Against Toughest Foes in South
By WARREN FLEMING
Track squads from all over the South will descend on
Atlanta today and tomorrow for what promises to be one
of the most hotly contested AAU track and field meets in
recent years.
Auburn is taking a talented though inexperienced team
to the meet. Coach Wilbur Hutsell is basing heavy hopes
on practically untried warriors, who are led by the prom­ising
John C. Ball, Auburn athlete who won the annual
cake rraaccee here last year, and
broke cross country records on
every course on which he ran last
fall.
Ball is an ace two miler.
Troubled by a foot blister last
week, he ran the race against
Georgia in cross country shoes,
and still managed to win easily.
Another sophomore who is
counted upon to rack up points
for the Auburn aggregation is
Dudley Tyler, miler and half-miler.
This lad combines endur­ance
and speed, and is one of the
best prospects seen here in sev­eral
years.
Captain of the team this year
is James Stevenson, who will en­ter
the weight events. Hugh Mad-dox,
200 pounder, will enter the
discus competition.
Alternate-Captain Jim Holley,
and "Bud" Reed, a sophomore,
will run the 440-yd. dash. Jim
Holley ran the quarter mile this
year in 51.1. Both of these men
will be relied upon heavily by
Coach Hutsell.
Hoyt Hall, one of the South­eastern
Conference's leading pole
vaulters, will have a chance to dis­play
his powers again this Satur­day.
His highest jump this year
was made at the Florida Relays.
Here he made a jump of 13 feet.
Hall and Burton will represent
Auburn in the high jumping
events.
Herbert Burton, another sopho­more
who has shown great prom­ise
this year, will also jump for
Auburn in the high and the broad
jumps. Ty Irby and Frank Manci
will jump with him in the broad
jumps and Hoyt Hall and James
Stephenson will assist him in the
high jumps.
Auburn's main entries in the
dash event will be '.'Bud" Wend-ling,
"Chuck" Finney and Jack
Brush. Wendling is one of the
best dash men on the squad and
is the fastest man on the football
team. Finney, the fastest man on
the track team, has been absent
from the last few meets with a
pulled muscle in his leg, but

Coach Hutsell said he would
probably be in good shape for the
AAU Meet this coming Saturday.
Herbert Burton will represent
Auburn again in the javelin
throwing event. Herbert is a bit
new at javelin throwing but is
expected to make a creditable
showing.
Next week the Auburn Tigers
will meet the University of Flor­ida
'Gators here in Auburn. This
meet will be held in honor of
the visiting alumni who will be
in Auburn on May 10 for Alumni
Day. The field events start about
2:00 o'clock while the running
events will begin about' 2:30
o'clock.
Another Old Auburn
Landmark Removed
From Village
An Auburn landmark is in the
process of its death struggle.
As familiar to present day stu­dents
as those of the gay nineties
—and even further back in history,
as familiar as Samford tower, as
Langdon Hall's columns, as the
spires of the Architectural Build­ing,
even as the fickle Auburn
weather, is the cornfield in the
middle of town, on the corner of
College and Tichenor.
That cornfield has been a land­mark
since before the days of the
oldest member of API's staff. The
sound of the wind whistling
through its corn and weeds was
present long before the first loy­al
Auburn throat loosed an ex­ultant
War Eagle.
And now that cornfield is no
longer to exist. The machine age
once again is glorying in triumph
over nature. Trucks and shovels
and perspiring laborers are re­moving
the dirt from its aged em­bankment.
In its place they say there is
to be a drug store, and a bus sta­tion.
Where stalks of corn once
waved green on its soil, and rust­led
brown after the harvest, there
will be a soda fountain and a drug
dispensary. Soft drink bottles will
replace the ears of corn. The rows
of the plow will be replaced by the
tire tracks of busses.
Auburn will doubtless be proud
of its new bus station and drug
store—but something will be miss­ing.
Wilson college has begun prep­aration
for the celebration of
1944 of its seventy-fifth annivers­ary.

Auburn Tennis Men
Handed Setback by
Georgia Netmen
Two More Meets to Be
Played This Season
Auburn's 1941 Tennis Team
was handed it's first defeat of the
present season last Wednesday by
the Georgia Bulldogs of the Uni­versity
of Georgia on the Geor­gia
courts.
Auburn showed fine form but
was unable to cope with the su­perior
Georgia team who took all
six matches. The complete scores
are given below.
Auburn has two more games
to play before going to the South­eastern
Conference Meet in Nash­ville
on May the 8, 9, and 10th.
They play Mercer next and then
will tackle Birmingham-Southern
for their last game of the year.
Captain McKee (Auburn) lost
to Reynolds, 6-1 and 6-2; Drake
(Auburn) lost to Byrd, 6-2, 6-2;
Hazzard (Auburn) lost to Russell,
6-4, 6-4; Wells (Auburn) lost to
Whiting, 6-2, 6-3; and Schoffner
(Auburn) lost to Walker, 6-4,
6-4.
Venezuelan Hiker
(Continued from page 1)
He was also vexed at the gap­ing
interest and stares he got from
the audience crowded about. He
remarked that some of the friend­ly
Indians he has met showed less
surprise and had nicer manners
than some of the people he has
met here!
As a whole, however, he likes
Americans, and is "crazy about"
their President "Roosvet", with
whom he has corresponded.
He met Governor Dixon in
Montgomery, and was agreeably
surprised to learn that the Gov­ernor
spoke excellent Spanish.
His biggest reception was in
New Orleans, where he was feted,
and where the mayor came out to
see him.
He has an interesting scrap-book
of newspaper clippings about
his travels, which he showed us,
and he has been honored in many
U.S. towns. He spent Wednesday
night here before continuing his
walkathon. '
He asked Tony to deliver a
message to the "young people"
here, and the Plainsman takes
pleasure in printing it.
He advises that we "Forget
about Europe and European peo­ple,
their customs and languages,
their imports and exports. Stay
in this hemisphere, for here alone
you'll have more than you'll ever
be able to learn. Forget the 'Oui,
monsieur' and learn 'Si, senor'."
"Learn to know other flags
than your own, and make friends
with their people. Don't let the
Europeans steal this friendship,
for you need it and needed it bad­ly.
If I can feel that I have help­ed
to make the Americans realize
the need of better understanding
and relationships between the
Americas, I would be satisfied."
Julio's skin has been turned so
dark by the sun that he had to
get an affidavit from the chief
of police of Beaumont, Texas, to
prove that he is of Spanish ex­traction.
The hiker said that he
had anticipated trouble in the
South because of his color, but
that his documents had been of
valuable assistance.
Speaking of his return trip,
Julio plans to ride back in style.
When asked if he planned to walk
back, he replied, "I'd be crazy to
try to do that!"
High School Band
Concert to Be

Hall, beginning at eight
o'clock. Tickets for college stu­dents

Scientists Unable to
ain Different
Effects of Drinking
STANFORD UNIV., Calif. —
(ACP).—Science still is unable
to explain why some persons can
drink heavily while others can­not,
according to Dr. Henry New­man
of the Stanford University
faculty.
Experiments have been made at
the university to prove or dis­prove
every thesis that has been
advanced on the subject. They
were all found untrue.
"Many people," said Dr. New­man,
"believe an habitual heavy
drinker can 'take it' because al-ehohol
passes more slowly into his
blood stream. But experiments
showed that the chronic drinker's
blood absorbs alcohol more rapid-
•ly.
"Many believe that alcohol goes
more slowly to the brain of the
heavy drinker, but our workers
here found it goes more rapidly.
"Others suggest that the habit­uated
drinker remains sober be­cause
his body burns up the al­cohol
at a high rate of speed. But
our experiments showed alcohol is
burned up in both amateur and
professional drinkers at exactly
the same rate."
Dr. Newman holds that the only
possible explanation is that the
chronic drinker has acquired some
mysterious "tolerance" to alcohol,
a mechanism that permits him to
absorb alcohol without showing its
effects.
