The list of the girls who are receiving bids will be announced in Monday's issue of the Plainsman. John Deming, chairman of the Social Committee, announced last night that all boys who are having girls up for the Soph Hop should arrange for them to stay in one of the four fraternity houses that are having house parties. All that will be necessary for the boys to do will be to see the president or some other responsible member of one of the fraternities and have them to reserve a room for the girl. The four fraternities that are having house parties are Theta Chi, Lambda Chi, Beta Kappa, and Delta Sigma Phi. school opened, and Col. John J.

Silverstein, Bill Eilner, Eloise Cameron, Bill Acker, Owen Munroe, Woodrow Breland, James Morgan, G. C. Robinson, Edward Drake, Bill Lynn, Dorothy Norman. By HERBERT MARTIN The Auburn Players fooled us, too. Frankly, until we actually saw their production of "Taming of the Shrew," we thought that Shakespeare was a pretty ambitious task for an amateur group, but we are fully convinced that they are capable of putting on just about any play they decide to attempt. Shakespeare lost nothing in the process Wednesday and Thursday nights. The entire cast performed creditably, and the production staff comes in for a handful of laurels for backstage work. Outstanding performances were turned in by the leading players, Claudia Weinmann and Jim Burt, who, ably assisted by supporting members of the cast, insured the success of the play throughout. Both were so good it's hard to choose, but Miss Weinmann gets our vote for the best job of acting of all. She was Katherina all of the time, and gave the impression that she was not quoting Shakespeare, but was saying just what she would have said even had not Shakespeare thought of the identical words some time before. Even when not speaking, she stayed in character, and the audience could almost follow her thoughts by watching her bite her lip or clench her fist. Jim Burt, as Petruchio, stormed and swore all over the stage, and gave a very convincing picture of this greatest tamer of all time. His performance, we think, very nearly matched that of the shrew. Odds-on favorite of the audience was Bill Eilner, who was almost perfectly cast in the comedy role of Petruchio's manservant, Grumio. His swordsmanship in the post-wedding scene was as funny as anything we've seen in some time. Even Bill will admit that he ad libbed on the original theme once or twice, but as we've al- (Continued on page 6) the ball' " — "You know it, kid" — and so on far into the night. "The game?

Last Tuesday was election day as far as the Freshman Class is concerned. Next Tuesday is election day as far as this great nation is concerned. Last Tuesday, there were just a bunch of more or less green freshmen running for offices that really do not mean so much when viewed from a distance, but which were as important to those "rat" politicians as the election is to the candidates in next Tuesday's election. Just what does winning an election mean—both to the one who received the largest number of votes and to the one who fell by the wayside, so to speak, in the voting? If one will examine the matter closely he can see that everyone that participated in last Tuesday's election actually won. The one who received the most votes for each office won the position as a class officer. This candidate also won many friends in the course of the campaigning. And that's where the other candidates who did not receive the largest vote come in on the winning. These so-called "defeated" candidates also won many friends, friends that will last them throughout their college career — just the same as the candidate who received the largest vote in the election. When coming down to the final analysis of the whole situation, the friends that one has are much more important than all the political offices, both large and small, that he could ever hold. A person who has won a political office is forever subject to public criticism. But his friends — his real friends, are as great as the treasures of all the sultans that ever lived. His friends are as invaluable as wings to a bird, as honey to a bee, and as milk to a young baby. A political office is only temporary — something passing—a real friend is permanent — the most precious thing on God's green earth. The Real W a r - War in 1940 Published recently in the Dothan Eagle and reprinted widely by papers throughout the South and the nation is the following editorial on the war in Europe — the real war — war in 1940. The main features of the editorial are excerpts from a story by Quentin Reynolds, Collier's London correspondent, and one of America's foremost reporters. War in 1940 Quentin Reynolds is Collier's London correspondent. Each week he cables a story about what he has seen, what he has heard, or what he has done. Once he told about standing on the roof of a London apartment house and watching the bombs fall, the stabbing shafts of searchlights and the steady roar of antiaircraft guns. Another time he told about a trip down the English coast on a small armed trawler acting as escort to a convoy of ships. Quentin Reynolds is a good reporter. He reports what he sees, provided the censors will let him, and he doesn't attempt to color his stories with tear-jerking tales that will cause Americans to jump head over heels into a war which we believe he believes is silly and unnecessary. That is, he has been a good reporter until this week. Then he let his feelings get the best of him as he reported a night spent with a women's ambulance corps. It was apparent that he had kept his emotions confined as long as he could. Harder nerves than his had already snapped. He told, in the October 26 issue of Collier's about sitting in a bomb-proof shelter with a group of twenty women ambulance drivers and assistants, waiting for the telephone call which meant that another German bomb had hit its mark. Feelingly, he related how, as he sat there waiting, a young member of the corps who had the night off came into the shelter and asked the woman in charge to be permitted to work that night. In answering inquiries as to why she wasn't at home getting much-needed sleep she related simply that she went home—but that it had been destroyed by bombs. Her sympathetic fellow workers didn't ask any questions—they just made a place for her on the long wooden bench." Later that night, Quentin Reynolds went off with an ambulance to an address in the East End of London, where the Germans had just released a particularly vicious load of fire bombs, one of which had crashed into the basement of a three-story residence. When they arrived, firemen and policemen were removing bodies from the cellar — three women. A doctor stood by administering first aid when human hand could help, solemnly silent when it couldn't. Someone wanted to know why there were no men in the house, and neighbors informed him that they were in the army. As the fire came under control, a policeman climbed from the basement wreckage with a curly-haired little three-year-old girl in his arms. He didn't need a stretcher. She seemed to be sleeping, and there wasn't a scratch on her. Reynolds said he found himself leaning over her saying, "Wake up, wake up, wake up." This man who had viewed total war at first hand, wrote: "She couldn't be dead. She was asleep. I've seen three-year- old girl children asleep and this is how they sleep. A three-year-old girl child always sleeps with a faint frown on her face as though daring anyone to wake her. The child was sleeping like that." Sensing what is happening to his readers, Quentin Reynolds goes on: "I know this isn't a pleasant story to read. It isn't a pleasant one to write. It's much better to read and write about the fighting pilots, the 'gay, laughing-eyed knights of the air. Sure, that's what war is. Glamorous and exciting. If death comes, well, it is swift and clean. War? Why war is a line of gallant British battleships plowing through azure waters with flags flying and bands playing and a lot of rum for the lads on watch at night. Sure, that's what war is. "But that isn't the war I seem London every night. This is the war I see. If you want a front seat to the war come and stand over this three-year-old child with me. Don't be afraid of the bombs that are falling close or the spent shrapnel that is raining down on us. You want to see what war is really like, don't you? Take another look at the baby. She still looks as though she were asleep. This is war—fall style, 1940. This is the war that Herr Hitler is waging." And this is the war that America is striving desperately hard to view objectively. It can't be done.

Says Karrie, "Speak, grunt, squeak, moan, or even whistle, but express yourself in the way that best suits your personality. There are too many of us who try to convey all of our ideas with words." Axis Powers Don't Want Uncle Sam to Enter War Say Editors How serious and how immediate is the "triple threat" to America from Rome, Berlin and Tokyo? Collegiate editorialists are speculating freely these tense days, and their near-unanimity of opinion is remarkable. Recent decision of the three fascist powers to collaborate more closely, reasons the Tech, published at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "is designed to prevent the United States from entering the conflict by threatening war on two fronts if we keep extending our help to Great Britain." At Brown university, the Daily Herald sees the Nordics, the Latins, and the Orientals, with much flexing of muscles, proclaiming "their joint supremacy and the utter waste of resistance to such a strength as they represent." But the Herald asks: "What strength? It is meet that we should examine these claims of totalitarian invincibility and our own puerility." Proceedings with such an analysis, the Herald believes "the first axiom which, until disproved, we must accept, is the impossibility of the defeat of Britain. So long as Britain stands we are secure in Europe, and the boasts of the Axis are but empty prattling so far as their ability to harm us is concerned. And so long as China stands we are secure in Asia. Our shields are friends, and our only intelligent, our only possible course is to re-enforce these shields. The British have learned. The Chinese have learned. And we must learn that the only thing we have to fear is fear." The Butler Collegian feels that "this democracy should continue economic aid to Great Britain, for only the maintenance of the British navy will enable the U.S. navy to remain in the Pacific ocean. The treaty threatens the United States only when this nation decides to do what Hilter and his colleagues wish us to do—be negative, cease to strengthen the British military machine, and let Japan go about her imperialistic way, uninterrupted." The Eastern Teachers College (111.) News advises that "our best answer to the pompous threat of the totalitarian powers is to ignore it. Continue to increase our aid to England and China, who seem to be keeping the dictators fairly busy at the present time." The New Mexico Lobo likewise calls upon America to stifle its hysteria about the newest phase of Axis diplomatics. The alliance, agrees the Lobo, just "isn't news." These three nations have been informally in a state of cohesion since Germany began its ambitious onslaughts, and the mere addition of a theoretical formality to a known actuality should be no reason for additional jitters." The Michigan Daily believes that Japan in recent days "has executed one of the most precipitu-ous backdowns in diplomatic history. Whether the Nipponese will persist in sneak aggressions and covert grabs under their apologetic smoke screen remains to be seen. In any event, prevailing ideas about the importance of 'face' in Oriental psychology need revision."—(ACP) Letters to the Editor The Editor of the Plainsman: In reply to recent letter published in the Plainsman on the subject of - dropping polo as a sport at Auburn, the chief reason for this action is the fact that the present P.M.S.&T. so decided and not due to lack of financial support from the Athletic Department. The Athletic Department was ready and willing to support polo as it had in the past. For the information of the Student Body, some of the reasons why I decided against polo at Auburn are outlined here. 1. Polo is a dangerous sport. Sooner or later a man would be seriously hurt. The Military Department does not want to be held responsible in the case of death or serious injury of a student due to polo. 2. The probability of serious injury to a player or spectator is higher with inexperienced players and poorly trained horses. 3. The best riding horses were reserved for polo and not made available for other riders. 4. Polo made a number of horses unsatisfactory for instruction in equitation required by War Department directives. 5. No suitable coach for polo is now available. Sincerely, John J. Waterman, Colonel, Field Artillery. ODD NAME CORNER. HALE I/VELLMET IS A STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. enera Deli very By REDDING SUGG 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. Last weekend I tramped over the Georgia Tech campus and came away more than ever pleased with the Auburn campus. Poor Tech! With its older buildings in the apoplectic style of Samford Hall without Samford's dignity, it glooms under discouraged trees and a smoky sky. * * * Tech may riot boast Auburn's clean (if dust-laden) air and roomy campus, but it has at least one thing on this school. It has a cafeteria and dining hall for its students. The Tech cafeteria, where I had lunch, has at extremely moderate prices better food than one can buy around here. * * * The argument for a general dining hall run by the college here seems to me to be a very strong one. Auburn has sources of supply in its experiment station, dairy, and poultry farm. It has schools of home economics, veterinary medicine, and agriculture whose students would find practical experience in helping run a dining hall. Besides students in these schools, a dining hall would aid at least a few others by providing ex-tra- NYA jobs. While I am in an advocating mood, I may as well advocate the establishment here of the French, German, Spanish and other linguistic "circles" common to other colleges. * * * Students who study a foreign language into the second year supposedly show a real interest in the language and intend in some way to make use of it. I find, at the beginning of intermediate French, that I have begun simply to dam up a lot of facts of grammar, construction, and idiom with no outlet, no spillway through which to use them. Linguistic circles exist for the sake of practice in the use of a language, and it so happens that they are of their very nature social gatherings which easily develop into recurrent parties. That is what I call a favorable combination of business and pleasure. Tests, tests, tests, tests! To the right, to the left, fore and aft they haunt me. In all my career of test-hating I have never been so weary of them as now. John Buchan, Lord Tweedsmuir, the late governor-general of Canada, topped off a long literary career with an autobiography called "Pilgrim's Way." The book is to be especially remarked for its admirable economy of expression—a trait which, in this day of tropical verbiage, is to be treasured. "Pilgrim's Way" is a little slow in the reading, but then most good things seem to be. I found the first chapter, "Wood, Water, and Hill," to be about the only really lovely part; and particularly I liked the final paragraph of it. The chapter called "My America" is, or so one would think, a clear view of ourselves as others see us; and also, may I add, a view of ourselves as we hope others see us. These two chapters may be read out of context as essays with no injury to them. Much as I chafe against traffic restrictions, I cannot resist sounding a warning in concert with Arthur Guiterman: Lest you leave your loved ones lonely, Always cross at crossings only. * * * Like—who was it? Harriet' Beecher Stowe?—most of us seem to be coal tongs which never quite get close enough to the fire to overcome futility. * * * At the risk of being sentimental and repetitious—it has been my custom to make this same comment for the past few years—I want to call your attention to the natural beauty of the Auburn campus. You must not miss watching the little flame-shaped maple tree at College Street entrance to Ag Hill. The show that little tree puts on every fall is one of the most colorful anywhere; it goes through several acts beginning with a sort of rosy pink and concluding with brilliant reds—but go see for yourself. You will enjoy it. Columbia Broadcasting System Will Carry Election Results A quarter of an hour after the first polls close in many Eastern states at 6:00 p.m. on November 5, the Columbia Broadcasting System will go on the air with fast returns of the Presidential Election. Columbia's staff will stay on the air with news of the voting from the first scattered tallies until one of the major parties concedes the election. Between early reports, CBS will broadcast special features of 1940's Presidential Election day. Early in the evening, radio listeners will hear Paul White, CBS Director of Public Affairs, check arrangements from New York with men in different parts of the country who are responsible for routing the returns through the central broadcast point in New York. Other special Election Day features will include an interview with the oldest voter in the country. The youngest voter, who must have been born before 11:59 p.m., November 5, 1919, to cast his vote, will describe the reactions to his first ballot. As the Presidential totals mount, Columbia's news analyst, Elmer-'" Davis, will explain them. Albert Warner, CBS Washington correspondent, will join Davis at broadcast headquarters in New York, to analyze reports of Senatorial, Congressional, and Gubernatorial races. Bob Trout, who will read the returns as they are marked on the board. November 1, 1940 T H E P L A I N S M AN Page Three ROTC Non-Com Appointments Made FEATURED CAST OF NEW MUSICAL Fletcher Delivers Lecture as Third Attraction of Auburn Concert Series Noted Poet Reads One Of Unpublished Works By REDDING SUGG John Gould Fletcher, one of the founders of the imagist school of poetry, defined for an appreciative audience in Langdon Hall Tuesday evening the place and object of modern poetry. His lecture was the third presentation of the 1940-41 Auburn Concert Series. Dr. Rosa Lee Walston introduced the speaker and invited the audience to attend his subsequent lectures in Duncan Hall Studio and before the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Mr. Fletcher first defined the purpose of art in general as the creation of an object from the emotions and the intellect. He hesitated to define poetry, but he partially explained it as an object created with words and rhythm. Mr. Fletcher continued with a discussion of the question as to whether poetry is primarily emotional or intellectual. He gave it as his opinion that poetry may be conceived as an arch, with one half the arc labeled emotion, the other labeled intellect. Poetry's function in the western scientific world Mr. Fletcher explained as one of deciding aesthetic values, as shown in the scientific equality and the aesthetic inequality of totalitarianism and democracy. Highlight of the evening was Mr. Fletcher's reading of his imagist poem, "Clipperships." Much to his audience's interest, he half-sang parts of the poem somewhat in the manner of a sea-chanty. Mr. Fletcher is the originator of what he calls the symphonic form in poetry. He explained the method behind it, saying that a symphonic poem is one which treats several facets of its subject. Several moods are achieved, as in symphonic music, and they combine and contrast more fully to illumine the subject. He illustrated the form with readings of several of his own works, including "Lincoln" and "Grand Canyon of Colorado." In closing, Mr. Fletcher read from manuscript his latest poem, "The Halt at the Channel." It is a symphonic war poem which he composed this past August. His Auburn audience felt its privilege in hearing his unpublished work. John Gould Fletcher, noted poet and lecturer, delivered three lectures here this week as the third attraction of the Auburn Concert Series. Burns, API Grad, Named Tennessee Theatre Manager Charles J. Burns, former Auburn student from Selma, was recently appointed manager of the Rialto Theatre at Kingsport, Tenn., according to information received here by the Alumni Office. Mr. Burns, who is 21 years of age, is believed to be the youngest theatre manager in the entire country. Since leaving Auburn in May, 1939, Mr. Burns has been connected with the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville and the Strand Theatre in Kingsport. While in college here he earned part of his expenses by working at the local Tiger Theatre. A member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, Mr. Burns was a high-ranking student in journalism during his two years at Auburn. His work - as a writer on the Plainsman, Auburn student newspaper, was outstanding. He also served as student assistant in the college News Bureau.

Alabama, idle since its defeat by Tennessee, moves to Lexington to meet the Kentucky Wildcats who are still undefeated but tied twice, last week by Georgia, 7-7.

Mississippi was dropped from the undefeated ranks by a surprise eleven from Arkansas, 21-20, Saturday, tomorrow bears a still spotless conference record to Nashville and plays the thrice-beaten Vanderbilt Commodores. Tulane, coming back with two victories following her first three beatings, shoots at the undefeated Clemson Tigers. The Wave's latest win was over North Carolina, 14-13. Georgia Tech takes on Duke in another Southeastern vs. Southern Conference struggle at Durham. The Jackets were last week thumped 16-7 by Auburn and face a Duke team which has lost only to Tennessee. Sewanee carrys the conference banners to the east, meeting Dartmouth's hapless Indians at Hanover. The Tigers of Jenks Gilem have won two games and lost two thus far this season.

This is another of those feuds started back in 1892; since that time the game has come off annually with exception of three years. Auburn started it off in '92 with a 10-0 victory, since then has won 20 of 43 g a m e s , losing 19 and tying four. The Bulldogs will be seeking their first victory since 1934. Coach Wally Butts brings from Athens a sophomore studded outfit with several standouts, but all eyes will be on Frankie Sinkwich, greatest freshman back in the conference last year and now a regular performer with the varsity. It was Sinkwich who sparked the Dogs to their last minute score to tie Kentucky and it is Sinkwich who is on every tongue wherever Georgia is mentioned in football circles. Other backfield performers who have been standouts thus far in the season are Brooker Blanton, sophomore regular of 180 pounds who steps through the 100 in something like 9.9, Heyward Allen, who has been driving opposition crazy with a deadly passing arm, and Lamar Davis, the boy who took passes to score both touchdowns against Columbia two weeks ago. George Poschner, left end and top Georgia lineman, has been troubled with a nose injury the past week and is a doubtful starter, but good ends seem to plentiful this year at Athens. Fears were earlier in the season that the Bulldog line would be below the par set by the backfield, but competition has been fierce and an experienced forward wall will take the field. Georgia brings an even .500 percentage record to Columbus for 1940 grid performances. The Red and Black has beaten Oglethorpe, 53-0, and South Carolina, 33-2, lost to Mississippi, 14-28, and Columbia, 13-19, and tied Kentucky, 7-7. The injury jinx, absent from the Auburn camp during t he first four games, has struck its first blows. The Plainsmen will face Georgia without the services of three regulars and one reserve. Latest injury to be disclosed is that to John Chalkley, 195-pound right tackle who suffered a fractured vertebrate against Georgia Tech and is out of the lineup. Rufus Deal, the Southeastern Conference's finest fullback, is benched, probably for the remainder of the season, with a broken left arm, also incurred at Atlanta.

ARROW SHIRTS Auburn Rises to Nineteenth Position In Williamson Rating for This Week Chet Bulger was stricken with Brill's fever before the SMU game and Henry Monsees, substitute end, will miss duty tomorrow because of a fractured cheekbone. The loss of four such dependa-bles, three of whom fell in one game, is a big dose for any team to swallow, but anxious and tried sophomores stand ready to fill in the vacancies. In Deal's place will go Jim Reynolds, a first year man who took over remarkably at Tech after Deal had been injured. Mc- Clurkin will take over Chalkley's position and Joe Eddins will continue at left tackle in place of Bulger. The Tiger backfield continues to roll along with new surprises every week. One week it's one combination and the next another which keeps on scoring. Last week Bud Wendling gave Atlanta crowds their biggest thrill with a 37 yard wiggle through the whole Jacket team. Jack Meagher has recently been shuffling the halfbacks around in an attempt to find places for four of them in one backfield but it just won't work out. The big four consists of McGowen, Happer, Wendling, and Yearout. Probable Auburn lineup will have Lenoir and Cremer at ends, McClurkin and Eddins at tackles, Ardillo and Mills at guards, Wil- Associated Press Ranks Plainsmen Twenty-Sixth Cornell and Notre Dame, victorious again by comfortable margins, still shared top honors in the two most notable football rating systems for the week ending November 1.

"Mr. Burton's rise in the aircraft industry reads like a pre-depression success story," the paper commented. After his graduation from Auburn Mr. Burton joined the army air corps, training at Randolph and Kelly Fields.

Ten months in production, 20th Century- Fox's Technicolor "Down Argentine Way" was conceived on a lavish scale far surpassing that studio's widely acclaimed "Alexander's Ragtime Band." Don Ameche and Betty Grable are paired in this latest picture, while the sultry Carmen Miranda makes her screen debut, singing four of the distinctive songs that have made her her famous on two Continents. In the planning and filming of "Down Argentine Way" many precedents were smashed and astounding studio records were set. Geared to meet the most exacting entertainment taste, "Down Argentine Way" out-distanced all other productions both in amount of time taken to complete and in distance covered. In the ten months of shooting location companies covered approximately 35,- 000 miles by plane, trainsand automobile. A special crew was dispatched to Buenos Aires, where most of the film's action is set, for exterior and atmospheric shots. The crew returned to Hollywood with some 20,000 feet of Technicolor film. But that was just the beginning, for another group of technicians flew to New York to spend five weeks photographing sultry Carmen Miranda, the "Brazilian Bombshell" who catapulted to fame with her torrid renditions of South American songs in the Broadway p r o d u c t i o n , "The Streets of Paris." Carmen Miranda, incidentally, boasts the distinction of being the only celebrity in recent years to appear in a lavish screen production without stepping foot in Hollywood. This was necessary because of previous commitments in New York which made it impossible for her to travel to the film capitol. Pour of the eight songs in "Down Argentine Way" were composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. These include "Two Dreams Met," "Down Argentine Way," "Nenita" ' and "Sing to Your Senorita." They are matched in brilliance only by the songs which the incomparable Miranda r e n d e r s : Opening Dances—It's Your Week-End To Howl, Sophomores, Says Gilbert Writer Tells History Of the Sophomore Hop By JIMMY GILBERT To many of us who have been here only a year or two, it is difficult to figure out just what the name "Sophomore Hops" means. Sure, we know they are the opening dances, but where did the name come from? Who or what thought up the name and why? In the dim dark past of Auburn, the Soph Hop was strictly for the second year students — the sophomore class. These were the days when the classes were small and much more separated than they are now. Each class had its members unified in the manner of the average small high school grade. There were class parties and functions, with only the members of that class taking part. So began the soph hop. With the growth of Auburn and the changes in the methods of teaching classes, however, the members of the four classes began to intermingle, so that any distinction between members was hard. The classes were arranged so that any student, from any class, could take • work in another class. This, combined with the rapid growth of the student body, made any accurate class boundaries hard to define. With this breakdown in definite class boundaries, there were complications as to just who was eligible to attend the hop. These changes, although . gradual, were the sources of many arguments and hard feelings before, any changes were made. The history as to how the Soph Hop became tied up with the Social Committee is rather meagre. But we do know that up until the past few years, this dance was one of the outstanding dances given in terms of dollars. Under the guidance of the Social Committee, the sophomore hop became a set of dances, open to all the classes. So, when you sophomores go to the dances, just look around. How many people do you know? Unless you get around a great deal, there will be comparatively few. But don't get downhearted. In spite of the crowd and the many changes, this is still your dance. The sophomore leadout will be led by Sophomore President, Tom Bullington, and all members of the class are urged to attend for the leadout. Just keep it in mind, fellow sophs, that this is ours, in spite of the crowd! "South American Way," "Bam-bu," "Mamae Eu Quero" and "Touradas Em Madrid."

Charles Laugh-ton is co-starred with the blonde actress in this screen version of the noted Pulitzer Prize play by the late Sidney Howard. Miss Lombard's current role, although dramatic, differs in many respects from her two previous efforts. In "Vigil in the Night" she portrayed a serious-minded, courageous, self-sacrificing nurse who endeavored to insulate herself from romance. In "In Name Only" the talented actress enacted a young widowed artist who falls in love with Cary Grant, a married man whose wife refuses to divorce him. But in "They Knew What They Wanted"' Miss Lombard is seen as a hard-working, waterfront waitress who longs to escape from her drab existence. That is why she eagerly accepts a correspondence proposal to marry a boisterous, uncouth, but thoroughly sincere Latin vinyardist, played by Charles Laughton. When she is unable to escape from the overtures of the rancher's handsome foreman, it precipitates a crisis which is said to lead to one of the most compelling climaxes filmed in many years. Carole's deft delienation of Amy, the friendless, lonely waitress, affords her unusual opportunity to reveal her rare dramatic powers, but at the same time she has many amusing scenes which contribute to a well-rounded, finely etched portrayal. Song on the Campus By ANONYMOUS Not necessarily anonymous, but desiring no credit for the tripe that is written . . . too late to carry on the fued Martin started a week ago—missed the deadline again. It isn't too late to call Herb a filch columnist, though. . . . Plainsman popularity poll didn't reveal much, for my supporters were all asleep that day, and I didn't even vote . . . dii-ty politics, I call it. * * * Freshman - really have unique ideas. This year they want to split their presidency and let the ruling be bi-partisan. Suppose Wendell and F.D. have the same situation (just suppose). Green would resign from the A. F. of L. because of Willkie, Lewis would resign on account of Roosevelt, Democrats would fight the wars across the waters, and Republicans would sit at home on the rocks. Think also of the happy medium that would be reached in the national budget, Willkie would balance it, and Roosevelt would continue the mad spending. This is the solution to all of our troubles, so let's all vote that way. You vote for W.W. and I'll vote for F.D.R. I wonder if Mrs. Willkie's teeth are the opposite of Eleanor's. * * * Since the writing of the dope on all of the instructors for the local flyers, we find that there is another situation in the air-minded of the college that needs comment. On the CAA program there are three gals trying to fly. One is a graduate, Frances Wilson, and the other two are students, Ozella Taylor, and Martha Childress. From their instructors . . . we find that they are very apt students, and promise to be better than some of the boys. Martha gets quite a kick out of Jimmy Brennan. Another skirt riding the cockpit side-saddle, is Berta Griffin Campbell, a habit- Patronize Plainsman advertisers.

She has promised to let me take her to a dance, but Frazier won't let her go. * * » It has been brought to my attention by one of the students that there is something wrong with the boarding house setup this year. There is no kick to Dr. Brown, for his work in standardizing and improving conditions has been fine. But, as the student puts it, each person has signed a contract with the landladies to the effect that he will be responsible for the monthly rate for the duration of a semester. Stude also agrees to other responsibilities and signs on the dotted line. Well, it seems that the boarding house operator agrees to nothing, not even the serving of three meals a day. If the quality of the food changes, there is no recourse for the student, only to complain, and that does no good, for there is that contract. Of course, from the legal standpoint, the contract is not legal and binding for students under twenty-one, but the school can defer credits in case of de-faultment. The aforementioned student thinks that the student should have some recourse if the chicken suddenly turns into pork and beans. It is an understood fact that the food is perfect the first week of school, but who knows what will happen as soon as the tables have been filled and all of the contracts signed?

This game, played in 1892, was the first of a series of the oldest and bitterest rivalry in the deep South. A favorite rating in this fray means little or nothing and this year will be no exception. Frank Sinkwich and the rest of those sensational Georgia sophomores 8ooTS SVMr&RD ha v e be en c oming a l ong fas t and ar e about due to kick a dope bucket all over some football field. They gave Columbia and Vanderbilt the very devil and tied Kentucky. Auburn is sorely suffering from the loss of Chet Bulger, Rufus Deal, Henry Monsees and Johnny Chalkley and should suffer a severe let down from Saturday's bruiser with Tech. So this may be Georgia's day but we will take the Tigers by a two touchdown margin. * * * Georgia has been scouted down to the nth degree. Coach Buddy McCollum even brought back the information that Frank Sinkwich runs with a pigeon-toed stride! Which means I don't know what! * * * The press box at Grant Field last Saturday fairly groaned with the weight of the scouts viewing the Tigers function. Georgia, Clemson, LSU and Florida all had their gentlemen with the eagle eyes jotting notes and diagrams on the Orange and Blue attack and defense. * * * That 37-yard dream of a touchdown jaunt by Bud Wendling that jumped the Plainsmen into the lead was the first of his college career. He really broke loose with a bang though when he did decide to do something about it. Our pre-season prediction about this flaming ball of fire has turned out 100% correct. * * * Neither Mississippi State nor Auburn is interested in the proposed Steel Bowl post season game to play off that 7-7 tie. * * * We told ya that Auburn could stop that dipsy-doo of Tech's and further, gave them a taste of their own medicine on that end around by Babe McGehee which was good for 23 yards to put the leather in scoring position. This was Bob Ison's pet play. * * * Big doings are being cooked up for Homecoming. We are making an effort to have the crack Senior Drill Platoon from Clemson down to cut fancy didoes at the half, the card display will be put into effect with perhaps a section in both stands, a big pep rally with bonfire and all will take place Friday evening, and Scabbard and Blade will sponsor an artillery demonstration, firing a salute with blanks just before the game, among many other things. So get all the home folks down to show 'em what we've got. Joe Blalock—Clemson Joe Blalock is Clemson's end candidate for an All - American post this year.

Yesterday, in the Song on the Campus galloping poll, it was found that otily 2 per cent wear their rat caps at any time and one per cent of these wear them constantly. It is an unfair disadvantage to take of the pore Tech students, for I noticed that a few rat caps were pilfered from them, but NONE were worn by Auburn first year men at the game. At the polls, only one rat cap noticed on a candidate's head, and it was Tech colored. There is going to have to be some means of enforcing the proposed cap wearing at the Homecoming game — why not let the shovel wearers do it, they run everything else (in a pig's eye). Fleming, R. F.

Frankly, until we actually saw their production of "Taming of the Shrew," we thought that Shakespeare was a pretty ambitious task for an amateur group, but we are fully convinced that they are capable of putting on just about any play they decide to attempt. Shakespeare lost nothing in the process Wednesday and Thursday nights. The entire cast performed creditably, and the production staff comes in for a handful of laurels for backstage work. Outstanding performances were turned in by the leading players, Claudia Weinmann and Jim Burt, who, ably assisted by supporting members of the cast, insured the success of the play throughout. Both were so good it's hard to choose, but Miss Weinmann gets our vote for the best job of acting of all. She was Katherina all of the time, and gave the impression that she was not quoting Shakespeare, but was saying just what she would have said even had not Shakespeare thought of the identical words some time before. Even when not speaking, she stayed in character, and the audience could almost follow her thoughts by watching her bite her lip or clench her fist. Jim Burt, as Petruchio, stormed and swore all over the stage, and gave a very convincing picture of this greatest tamer of all time. His performance, we think, very nearly matched that of the shrew. Odds-on favorite of the audience was Bill Eilner, who was almost perfectly cast in the comedy role of Petruchio's manservant, Grumio. His swordsmanship in the post-wedding scene was as funny as anything we've seen in some time. Even Bill will admit that he ad libbed on the original theme once or twice, but as we've al- (Continued on page 6) the ball' " — "You know it, kid" — and so on far into the night. "The game?

Last Tuesday was election day as far as the Freshman Class is concerned. Next Tuesday is election day as far as this great nation is concerned. Last Tuesday, there were just a bunch of more or less green freshmen running for offices that really do not mean so much when viewed from a distance, but which were as important to those "rat" politicians as the election is to the candidates in next Tuesday's election. Just what does winning an election mean—both to the one who received the largest number of votes and to the one who fell by the wayside, so to speak, in the voting? If one will examine the matter closely he can see that everyone that participated in last Tuesday's election actually won. The one who received the most votes for each office won the position as a class officer. This candidate also won many friends in the course of the campaigning. And that's where the other candidates who did not receive the largest vote come in on the winning. These so-called "defeated" candidates also won many friends, friends that will last them throughout their college career — just the same as the candidate who received the largest vote in the election. When coming down to the final analysis of the whole situation, the friends that one has are much more important than all the political offices, both large and small, that he could ever hold. A person who has won a political office is forever subject to public criticism. But his friends — his real friends, are as great as the treasures of all the sultans that ever lived. His friends are as invaluable as wings to a bird, as honey to a bee, and as milk to a young baby. A political office is only temporary — something passing—a real friend is permanent — the most precious thing on God's green earth. The Real W a r - War in 1940 Published recently in the Dothan Eagle and reprinted widely by papers throughout the South and the nation is the following editorial on the war in Europe — the real war — war in 1940. The main features of the editorial are excerpts from a story by Quentin Reynolds, Collier's London correspondent, and one of America's foremost reporters. War in 1940 Quentin Reynolds is Collier's London correspondent. Each week he cables a story about what he has seen, what he has heard, or what he has done. Once he told about standing on the roof of a London apartment house and watching the bombs fall, the stabbing shafts of searchlights and the steady roar of antiaircraft guns. Another time he told about a trip down the English coast on a small armed trawler acting as escort to a convoy of ships. Quentin Reynolds is a good reporter. He reports what he sees, provided the censors will let him, and he doesn't attempt to color his stories with tear-jerking tales that will cause Americans to jump head over heels into a war which we believe he believes is silly and unnecessary. That is, he has been a good reporter until this week. Then he let his feelings get the best of him as he reported a night spent with a women's ambulance corps. It was apparent that he had kept his emotions confined as long as he could. Harder nerves than his had already snapped. He told, in the October 26 issue of Collier's about sitting in a bomb-proof shelter with a group of twenty women ambulance drivers and assistants, waiting for the telephone call which meant that another German bomb had hit its mark. Feelingly, he related how, as he sat there waiting, a young member of the corps who had the night off came into the shelter and asked the woman in charge to be permitted to work that night. In answering inquiries as to why she wasn't at home getting much-needed sleep she related simply that she went home—but that it had been destroyed by bombs. Her sympathetic fellow workers didn't ask any questions—they just made a place for her on the long wooden bench." Later that night, Quentin Reynolds went off with an ambulance to an address in the East End of London, where the Germans had just released a particularly vicious load of fire bombs, one of which had crashed into the basement of a three-story residence. When they arrived, firemen and policemen were removing bodies from the cellar — three women. A doctor stood by administering first aid when human hand could help, solemnly silent when it couldn't. Someone wanted to know why there were no men in the house, and neighbors informed him that they were in the army. As the fire came under control, a policeman climbed from the basement wreckage with a curly-haired little three-year-old girl in his arms. He didn't need a stretcher. She seemed to be sleeping, and there wasn't a scratch on her. Reynolds said he found himself leaning over her saying, "Wake up, wake up, wake up." This man who had viewed total war at first hand, wrote: "She couldn't be dead. She was asleep. I've seen three-year- old girl children asleep and this is how they sleep. A three-year-old girl child always sleeps with a faint frown on her face as though daring anyone to wake her. The child was sleeping like that." Sensing what is happening to his readers, Quentin Reynolds goes on: "I know this isn't a pleasant story to read. It isn't a pleasant one to write. It's much better to read and write about the fighting pilots, the 'gay, laughing-eyed knights of the air. Sure, that's what war is. Glamorous and exciting. If death comes, well, it is swift and clean. War? Why war is a line of gallant British battleships plowing through azure waters with flags flying and bands playing and a lot of rum for the lads on watch at night. Sure, that's what war is. "But that isn't the war I seem London every night. This is the war I see. If you want a front seat to the war come and stand over this three-year-old child with me. Don't be afraid of the bombs that are falling close or the spent shrapnel that is raining down on us. You want to see what war is really like, don't you? Take another look at the baby. She still looks as though she were asleep. This is war—fall style, 1940. This is the war that Herr Hitler is waging." And this is the war that America is striving desperately hard to view objectively. It can't be done.

Axis Powers Don't Want Uncle Sam to Enter War Say Editors How serious and how immediate is the "triple threat" to America from Rome, Berlin and Tokyo? Collegiate editorialists are speculating freely these tense days, and their near-unanimity of opinion is remarkable. Recent decision of the three fascist powers to collaborate more closely, reasons the Tech, published at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "is designed to prevent the United States from entering the conflict by threatening war on two fronts if we keep extending our help to Great Britain." At Brown university, the Daily Herald sees the Nordics, the Latins, and the Orientals, with much flexing of muscles, proclaiming "their joint supremacy and the utter waste of resistance to such a strength as they represent." But the Herald asks: "What strength? It is meet that we should examine these claims of totalitarian invincibility and our own puerility." Proceedings with such an analysis, the Herald believes "the first axiom which, until disproved, we must accept, is the impossibility of the defeat of Britain. So long as Britain stands we are secure in Europe, and the boasts of the Axis are but empty prattling so far as their ability to harm us is concerned. And so long as China stands we are secure in Asia. Our shields are friends, and our only intelligent, our only possible course is to re-enforce these shields. The British have learned. The Chinese have learned. And we must learn that the only thing we have to fear is fear." The Butler Collegian feels that "this democracy should continue economic aid to Great Britain, for only the maintenance of the British navy will enable the U.S. navy to remain in the Pacific ocean. The treaty threatens the United States only when this nation decides to do what Hilter and his colleagues wish us to do—be negative, cease to strengthen the British military machine, and let Japan go about her imperialistic way, uninterrupted." The Eastern Teachers College (111.) News advises that "our best answer to the pompous threat of the totalitarian powers is to ignore it. Continue to increase our aid to England and China, who seem to be keeping the dictators fairly busy at the present time." The New Mexico Lobo likewise calls upon America to stifle its hysteria about the newest phase of Axis diplomatics. The alliance, agrees the Lobo, just "isn't news." These three nations have been informally in a state of cohesion since Germany began its ambitious onslaughts, and the mere addition of a theoretical formality to a known actuality should be no reason for additional jitters." The Michigan Daily believes that Japan in recent days "has executed one of the most precipitu-ous backdowns in diplomatic history. Whether the Nipponese will persist in sneak aggressions and covert grabs under their apologetic smoke screen remains to be seen. In any event, prevailing ideas about the importance of 'face' in Oriental psychology need revision."—(ACP) Letters to the Editor The Editor of the Plainsman: In reply to recent letter published in the Plainsman on the subject of - dropping polo as a sport at Auburn, the chief reason for this action is the fact that the present P.M.S.&T. so decided and not due to lack of financial support from the Athletic Department. The Athletic Department was ready and willing to support polo as it had in the past. For the information of the Student Body, some of the reasons why I decided against polo at Auburn are outlined here. 1. Polo is a dangerous sport. Sooner or later a man would be seriously hurt. The Military Department does not want to be held responsible in the case of death or serious injury of a student due to polo. 2. The probability of serious injury to a player or spectator is higher with inexperienced players and poorly trained horses. 3. The best riding horses were reserved for polo and not made available for other riders. 4. Polo made a number of horses unsatisfactory for instruction in equitation required by War Department directives. 5. No suitable coach for polo is now available. Sincerely, John J. Waterman, Colonel, Field Artillery. ODD NAME CORNER. HALE I/VELLMET IS A STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. enera Deli very By REDDING SUGG 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. Last weekend I tramped over the Georgia Tech campus and came away more than ever pleased with the Auburn campus. Poor Tech! With its older buildings in the apoplectic style of Samford Hall without Samford's dignity, it glooms under discouraged trees and a smoky sky. * * * Tech may riot boast Auburn's clean (if dust-laden) air and roomy campus, but it has at least one thing on this school. It has a cafeteria and dining hall for its students. The Tech cafeteria, where I had lunch, has at extremely moderate prices better food than one can buy around here. * * * The argument for a general dining hall run by the college here seems to me to be a very strong one. Auburn has sources of supply in its experiment station, dairy, and poultry farm. It has schools of home economics, veterinary medicine, and agriculture whose students would find practical experience in helping run a dining hall. Besides students in these schools, a dining hall would aid at least a few others by providing ex-tra- NYA jobs. While I am in an advocating mood, I may as well advocate the establishment here of the French, German, Spanish and other linguistic "circles" common to other colleges. * * * Students who study a foreign language into the second year supposedly show a real interest in the language and intend in some way to make use of it. I find, at the beginning of intermediate French, that I have begun simply to dam up a lot of facts of grammar, construction, and idiom with no outlet, no spillway through which to use them. Linguistic circles exist for the sake of practice in the use of a language, and it so happens that they are of their very nature social gatherings which easily develop into recurrent parties. That is what I call a favorable combination of business and pleasure. Tests, tests, tests, tests! To the right, to the left, fore and aft they haunt me. In all my career of test-hating I have never been so weary of them as now. John Buchan, Lord Tweedsmuir, the late governor-general of Canada, topped off a long literary career with an autobiography called "Pilgrim's Way." The book is to be especially remarked for its admirable economy of expression—a trait which, in this day of tropical verbiage, is to be treasured. "Pilgrim's Way" is a little slow in the reading, but then most good things seem to be. I found the first chapter, "Wood, Water, and Hill," to be about the only really lovely part; and particularly I liked the final paragraph of it. The chapter called "My America" is, or so one would think, a clear view of ourselves as others see us; and also, may I add, a view of ourselves as we hope others see us. These two chapters may be read out of context as essays with no injury to them. Much as I chafe against traffic restrictions, I cannot resist sounding a warning in concert with Arthur Guiterman: Lest you leave your loved ones lonely, Always cross at crossings only. * * * Like—who was it? Harriet' Beecher Stowe?—most of us seem to be coal tongs which never quite get close enough to the fire to overcome futility. * * * At the risk of being sentimental and repetitious—it has been my custom to make this same comment for the past few years—I want to call your attention to the natural beauty of the Auburn campus. You must not miss watching the little flame-shaped maple tree at College Street entrance to Ag Hill. The show that little tree puts on every fall is one of the most colorful anywhere; it goes through several acts beginning with a sort of rosy pink and concluding with brilliant reds—but go see for yourself. You will enjoy it.

November 1, 1940 T H E P L A I N S M AN Page Three ROTC Non-Com Appointments Made FEATURED CAST OF NEW MUSICAL Fletcher Delivers Lecture as Third Attraction of Auburn Concert Series Noted Poet Reads One Of Unpublished Works By REDDING SUGG John Gould Fletcher, one of the founders of the imagist school of poetry, defined for an appreciative audience in Langdon Hall Tuesday evening the place and object of modern poetry. His lecture was the third presentation of the 1940-41 Auburn Concert Series. Dr. Rosa Lee Walston introduced the speaker and invited the audience to attend his subsequent lectures in Duncan Hall Studio and before the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Mr. Fletcher first defined the purpose of art in general as the creation of an object from the emotions and the intellect. He hesitated to define poetry, but he partially explained it as an object created with words and rhythm. Mr. Fletcher continued with a discussion of the question as to whether poetry is primarily emotional or intellectual. He gave it as his opinion that poetry may be conceived as an arch, with one half the arc labeled emotion, the other labeled intellect. Poetry's function in the western scientific world Mr. Fletcher explained as one of deciding aesthetic values, as shown in the scientific equality and the aesthetic inequality of totalitarianism and democracy. Highlight of the evening was Mr. Fletcher's reading of his imagist poem, "Clipperships." Much to his audience's interest, he half-sang parts of the poem somewhat in the manner of a sea-chanty. Mr. Fletcher is the originator of what he calls the symphonic form in poetry. He explained the method behind it, saying that a symphonic poem is one which treats several facets of its subject. Several moods are achieved, as in symphonic music, and they combine and contrast more fully to illumine the subject. He illustrated the form with readings of several of his own works, including "Lincoln" and "Grand Canyon of Colorado." In closing, Mr. Fletcher read from manuscript his latest poem, "The Halt at the Channel." It is a symphonic war poem which he composed this past August. His Auburn audience felt its privilege in hearing his unpublished work. John Gould Fletcher, noted poet and lecturer, delivered three lectures here this week as the third attraction of the Auburn Concert Series. Burns, API Grad, Named Tennessee Theatre Manager Charles J. Burns, former Auburn student from Selma, was recently appointed manager of the Rialto Theatre at Kingsport, Tenn., according to information received here by the Alumni Office. Mr. Burns, who is 21 years of age, is believed to be the youngest theatre manager in the entire country. Since leaving Auburn in May, 1939, Mr. Burns has been connected with the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville and the Strand Theatre in Kingsport. While in college here he earned part of his expenses by working at the local Tiger Theatre. A member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, Mr. Burns was a high-ranking student in journalism during his two years at Auburn. His work - as a writer on the Plainsman, Auburn student newspaper, was outstanding. He also served as student assistant in the college News Bureau.

In non-conference play three intersection-al tilts take place. Alabama, idle since its defeat by Tennessee, moves to Lexington to meet the Kentucky Wildcats who are still undefeated but tied twice, last week by Georgia, 7-7. Tennessee, whose Vols were hard pressed to defeat Florida, 14-0, plays host to the Bengals of LSU, 7-0 winners over Vandy. Mississippi was dropped from the undefeated ranks by a surprise eleven from Arkansas, 21-20, Saturday, tomorrow bears a still spotless conference record to Nashville and plays the thrice-beaten Vanderbilt Commodores. Tulane, coming back with two victories following her first three beatings, shoots at the undefeated Clemson Tigers. The Wave's latest win was over North Carolina, 14-13. Georgia Tech takes on Duke in another Southeastern vs. Southern Conference struggle at Durham. The Jackets were last week thumped 16-7 by Auburn and face a Duke team which has lost only to Tennessee. Sewanee carrys the conference banners to the east, meeting Dartmouth's hapless Indians at Hanover. The Tigers of Jenks Gilem have won two games and lost two thus far this season. Mississippi State, victor over North Carolina State and yet undefeated, rests at Memphis against Southwestern. Florida has an open date this week. They're Glad To Eat This!

This is another of those feuds started back in 1892; since that time the game has come off annually with exception of three years. Auburn started it off in '92 with a 10-0 victory, since then has won 20 of 43 g a m e s , losing 19 and tying four. The Bulldogs will be seeking their first victory since 1934. Coach Wally Butts brings from Athens a sophomore studded outfit with several standouts, but all eyes will be on Frankie Sinkwich, greatest freshman back in the conference last year and now a regular performer with the varsity. It was Sinkwich who sparked the Dogs to their last minute score to tie Kentucky and it is Sinkwich who is on every tongue wherever Georgia is mentioned in football circles. Other backfield performers who have been standouts thus far in the season are Brooker Blanton, sophomore regular of 180 pounds who steps through the 100 in something like 9.9, Heyward Allen, who has been driving opposition crazy with a deadly passing arm, and Lamar Davis, the boy who took passes to score both touchdowns against Columbia two weeks ago. George Poschner, left end and top Georgia lineman, has been troubled with a nose injury the past week and is a doubtful starter, but good ends seem to plentiful this year at Athens. Fears were earlier in the season that the Bulldog line would be below the par set by the backfield, but competition has been fierce and an experienced forward wall will take the field. Georgia brings an even .500 percentage record to Columbus for 1940 grid performances. The Red and Black has beaten Oglethorpe, 53-0, and South Carolina, 33-2, lost to Mississippi, 14-28, and Columbia, 13-19, and tied Kentucky, 7-7. The injury jinx, absent from the Auburn camp during t he first four games, has struck its first blows. The Plainsmen will face Georgia without the services of three regulars and one reserve. Latest injury to be disclosed is that to John Chalkley, 195-pound right tackle who suffered a fractured vertebrate against Georgia Tech and is out of the lineup. Rufus Deal, the Southeastern Conference's finest fullback, is benched, probably for the remainder of the season, with a broken left arm, also incurred at Atlanta.

ARROW SHIRTS Auburn Rises to Nineteenth Position In Williamson Rating for This Week Chet Bulger was stricken with Brill's fever before the SMU game and Henry Monsees, substitute end, will miss duty tomorrow because of a fractured cheekbone. The loss of four such dependa-bles, three of whom fell in one game, is a big dose for any team to swallow, but anxious and tried sophomores stand ready to fill in the vacancies. In Deal's place will go Jim Reynolds, a first year man who took over remarkably at Tech after Deal had been injured. Mc- Clurkin will take over Chalkley's position and Joe Eddins will continue at left tackle in place of Bulger. The Tiger backfield continues to roll along with new surprises every week. One week it's one combination and the next another which keeps on scoring. Last week Bud Wendling gave Atlanta crowds their biggest thrill with a 37 yard wiggle through the whole Jacket team. Jack Meagher has recently been shuffling the halfbacks around in an attempt to find places for four of them in one backfield but it just won't work out. The big four consists of McGowen, Happer, Wendling, and Yearout. Probable Auburn lineup will have Lenoir and Cremer at ends, McClurkin and Eddins at tackles, Ardillo and Mills at guards, Wil- Associated Press Ranks Plainsmen Twenty-Sixth Cornell and Notre Dame, victorious again by comfortable margins, still shared top honors in the two most notable football rating systems for the week ending November 1.

Kappa Delta Team Wins First Place In Coed's Volley Ball Tournament API Grad Named Head of Company Burton to Head Seven Million Dollar Concern A young Auburn graduate has attained a prominent executive position in the aircraft industry, according to a story in a Beverly Hills, Calif., newspaper. Alexander T. Burton, of Beverly Hills, graduate of Auburn in 1932, has been named manager of the $7,000,000 North American Aircraft Co. plant at Dallas, Texas, according to the story. "Mr. Burton's rise in the aircraft industry reads like a pre-depression success story," the paper commented. After his graduation from Auburn Mr. Burton joined the army air corps, training at Randolph and Kelly Fields. After three years in the air force he spent a year as civilian engineering inspector for the government at a Boeing plant. He resigned to become test pilot for the „North American Company and later his company sent him abroad •res the European representative for that firm's plants in France and England.

Ten months in production, 20th Century- Fox's Technicolor "Down Argentine Way" was conceived on a lavish scale far surpassing that studio's widely acclaimed "Alexander's Ragtime Band." Don Ameche and Betty Grable are paired in this latest picture, while the sultry Carmen Miranda makes her screen debut, singing four of the distinctive songs that have made her her famous on two Continents. In the planning and filming of "Down Argentine Way" many precedents were smashed and astounding studio records were set. Geared to meet the most exacting entertainment taste, "Down Argentine Way" out-distanced all other productions both in amount of time taken to complete and in distance covered. In the ten months of shooting location companies covered approximately 35,- 000 miles by plane, trainsand automobile. A special crew was dispatched to Buenos Aires, where most of the film's action is set, for exterior and atmospheric shots. The crew returned to Hollywood with some 20,000 feet of Technicolor film. But that was just the beginning, for another group of technicians flew to New York to spend five weeks photographing sultry Carmen Miranda, the "Brazilian Bombshell" who catapulted to fame with her torrid renditions of South American songs in the Broadway p r o d u c t i o n , "The Streets of Paris." Carmen Miranda, incidentally, boasts the distinction of being the only celebrity in recent years to appear in a lavish screen production without stepping foot in Hollywood. This was necessary because of previous commitments in New York which made it impossible for her to travel to the film capitol. Pour of the eight songs in "Down Argentine Way" were composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. These include "Two Dreams Met," "Down Argentine Way," "Nenita" ' and "Sing to Your Senorita." They are matched in brilliance only by the songs which the incomparable Miranda r e n d e r s : Opening Dances—It's Your Week-End To Howl, Sophomores, Says Gilbert Writer Tells History Of the Sophomore Hop By JIMMY GILBERT To many of us who have been here only a year or two, it is difficult to figure out just what the name "Sophomore Hops" means. Sure, we know they are the opening dances, but where did the name come from? Who or what thought up the name and why? In the dim dark past of Auburn, the Soph Hop was strictly for the second year students — the sophomore class. These were the days when the classes were small and much more separated than they are now. Each class had its members unified in the manner of the average small high school grade. There were class parties and functions, with only the members of that class taking part. So began the soph hop. With the growth of Auburn and the changes in the methods of teaching classes, however, the members of the four classes began to intermingle, so that any distinction between members was hard. The classes were arranged so that any student, from any class, could take • work in another class. This, combined with the rapid growth of the student body, made any accurate class boundaries hard to define. With this breakdown in definite class boundaries, there were complications as to just who was eligible to attend the hop. These changes, although . gradual, were the sources of many arguments and hard feelings before, any changes were made. The history as to how the Soph Hop became tied up with the Social Committee is rather meagre. But we do know that up until the past few years, this dance was one of the outstanding dances given in terms of dollars. Under the guidance of the Social Committee, the sophomore hop became a set of dances, open to all the classes. So, when you sophomores go to the dances, just look around. How many people do you know? Unless you get around a great deal, there will be comparatively few. But don't get downhearted. In spite of the crowd and the many changes, this is still your dance. The sophomore leadout will be led by Sophomore President, Tom Bullington, and all members of the class are urged to attend for the leadout. Just keep it in mind, fellow sophs, that this is ours, in spite of the crowd! "South American Way," "Bam-bu," "Mamae Eu Quero" and "Touradas Em Madrid." Drink eca m "Delicious and refreshing,"— ice-cold Coca-Cola never loses the freshness of appeal that first charmed you. Its clean taste is exhilarating and a refreshed feeling follows.

Phone 70 D e l i c i o u s and R e f r e s h i n g 'They Knew What They Wanted' to Show at Tiger Registering her third outstanding dramatic success for RKO Radio since temporarily forsaking her famous "screwball" characterizations, Carole Lombard is said to have one of the finest roles of her colorful career in "They Knew What They Wanted," which will be shown Sunday and Monday at the Tiger Theatre. Charles Laugh-ton is co-starred with the blonde actress in this screen version of the noted Pulitzer Prize play by the late Sidney Howard. Miss Lombard's current role, although dramatic, differs in many respects from her two previous efforts. In "Vigil in the Night" she portrayed a serious-minded, courageous, self-sacrificing nurse who endeavored to insulate herself from romance. In "In Name Only" the talented actress enacted a young widowed artist who falls in love with Cary Grant, a married man whose wife refuses to divorce him. But in "They Knew What They Wanted"' Miss Lombard is seen as a hard-working, waterfront waitress who longs to escape from her drab existence. That is why she eagerly accepts a correspondence proposal to marry a boisterous, uncouth, but thoroughly sincere Latin vinyardist, played by Charles Laughton. When she is unable to escape from the overtures of the rancher's handsome foreman, it precipitates a crisis which is said to lead to one of the most compelling climaxes filmed in many years. Carole's deft delienation of Amy, the friendless, lonely waitress, affords her unusual opportunity to reveal her rare dramatic powers, but at the same time she has many amusing scenes which contribute to a well-rounded, finely etched portrayal. Song on the Campus By ANONYMOUS Not necessarily anonymous, but desiring no credit for the tripe that is written . . . too late to carry on the fued Martin started a week ago—missed the deadline again. It isn't too late to call Herb a filch columnist, though. . . . Plainsman popularity poll didn't reveal much, for my supporters were all asleep that day, and I didn't even vote . . . dii-ty politics, I call it. * * * Freshman - really have unique ideas. This year they want to split their presidency and let the ruling be bi-partisan. Suppose Wendell and F.D. have the same situation (just suppose). Green would resign from the A. F. of L. because of Willkie, Lewis would resign on account of Roosevelt, Democrats would fight the wars across the waters, and Republicans would sit at home on the rocks. Think also of the happy medium that would be reached in the national budget, Willkie would balance it, and Roosevelt would continue the mad spending. This is the solution to all of our troubles, so let's all vote that way. You vote for W.W. and I'll vote for F.D.R. I wonder if Mrs. Willkie's teeth are the opposite of Eleanor's. * * * Since the writing of the dope on all of the instructors for the local flyers, we find that there is another situation in the air-minded of the college that needs comment. On the CAA program there are three gals trying to fly. One is a graduate, Frances Wilson, and the other two are students, Ozella Taylor, and Martha Childress. From their instructors . . . we find that they are very apt students, and promise to be better than some of the boys. Martha gets quite a kick out of Jimmy Brennan.

She has promised to let me take her to a dance, but Frazier won't let her go. * * » It has been brought to my attention by one of the students that there is something wrong with the boarding house setup this year. There is no kick to Dr. Brown, for his work in standardizing and improving conditions has been fine. But, as the student puts it, each person has signed a contract with the landladies to the effect that he will be responsible for the monthly rate for the duration of a semester. Stude also agrees to other responsibilities and signs on the dotted line. Well, it seems that the boarding house operator agrees to nothing, not even the serving of three meals a day. If the quality of the food changes, there is no recourse for the student, only to complain, and that does no good, for there is that contract. Of course, from the legal standpoint, the contract is not legal and binding for students under twenty-one, but the school can defer credits in case of de-faultment. The aforementioned student thinks that the student should have some recourse if the chicken suddenly turns into pork and beans. It is an understood fact that the food is perfect the first week of school, but who knows what will happen as soon as the tables have been filled and all of the contracts signed?

This game, played in 1892, was the first of a series of the oldest and bitterest rivalry in the deep South. A favorite rating in this fray means little or nothing and this year will be no exception. Frank Sinkwich and the rest of those sensational Georgia sophomores 8ooTS SVMr&RD ha v e be en c oming a l ong fas t and ar e about due to kick a dope bucket all over some football field. They gave Columbia and Vanderbilt the very devil and tied Kentucky. Auburn is sorely suffering from the loss of Chet Bulger, Rufus Deal, Henry Monsees and Johnny Chalkley and should suffer a severe let down from Saturday's bruiser with Tech. So this may be Georgia's day but we will take the Tigers by a two touchdown margin. * * * Georgia has been scouted down to the nth degree. Coach Buddy McCollum even brought back the information that Frank Sinkwich runs with a pigeon-toed stride! Which means I don't know what! * * * The press box at Grant Field last Saturday fairly groaned with the weight of the scouts viewing the Tigers function. Georgia, Clemson, LSU and Florida all had their gentlemen with the eagle eyes jotting notes and diagrams on the Orange and Blue attack and defense. * * * That 37-yard dream of a touchdown jaunt by Bud Wendling that jumped the Plainsmen into the lead was the first of his college career. He really broke loose with a bang though when he did decide to do something about it. Our pre-season prediction about this flaming ball of fire has turned out 100% correct. * * * Neither Mississippi State nor Auburn is interested in the proposed Steel Bowl post season game to play off that 7-7 tie. * * * We told ya that Auburn could stop that dipsy-doo of Tech's and further, gave them a taste of their own medicine on that end around by Babe McGehee which was good for 23 yards to put the leather in scoring position. This was Bob Ison's pet play. * * * Big doings are being cooked up for Homecoming. We are making an effort to have the crack Senior Drill Platoon from Clemson down to cut fancy didoes at the half, the card display will be put into effect with perhaps a section in both stands, a big pep rally with bonfire and all will take place Friday evening, and Scabbard and Blade will sponsor an artillery demonstration, firing a salute with blanks just before the game, among many other things. So get all the home folks down to show 'em what we've got. Joe Blalock—Clemson Joe Blalock is Clemson's end candidate for an All - American post this year.

Yesterday, in the Song on the Campus galloping poll, it was found that otily 2 per cent wear their rat caps at any time and one per cent of these wear them constantly. It is an unfair disadvantage to take of the pore Tech students, for I noticed that a few rat caps were pilfered from them, but NONE were worn by Auburn first year men at the game. At the polls, only one rat cap noticed on a candidate's head, and it was Tech colored. There is going to have to be some means of enforcing the proposed cap wearing at the Homecoming game — why not let the shovel wearers do it, they run everything else (in a pig's eye). Fleming, R. F.
