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-

"The game? Oh, the game —

Geez, guys, dat should be some
moiderous scramble over there in

Dat game is always a humdinger,
don't matter who's the favorite."
"Jim—JIM — wake up — get

To Election Winners—
What Does Winning Mean?
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.

In a more serious vein, Karrie,
the Kampus Kounselor, kouncils
us to be more straightforward,
and to express ourselves as ef­fectively
as possible. If we can
make ourselves understood by
talking, well and good, but if we
can't, Karrie urges us to seek the
most effective medium.
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.

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.

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.

Captain Dynamite Dick played his best game of the year last
Saturday against the Tech Yellow Jackets. He will alternate at both

of Georgia. Bud showed a beautiful piece of running on his 37-yard
touchdown jaunt against Tech. He will start tomorrow.
Alabama Meets Kentucky, Vols Tackle
Louisiana State in Conference Games
Tulane to Meet Clemson
In New Orleans Contest
While Auburn and Georgia re­sume
rivalries at Columbus to­morrow
six other Southeastern
Conference teams will be battling
each other in an attempt to clear
up the present muddle now exist-ant
in league standings. 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.

Gridiron Rivalry Is
Oldest in the South
McGowen May Alternate at Both Halfback
Positions; Wendling Will Start Contest
By JOHN PIERCE
It's Georgia-Auburn time again and a footsore squad of
Auburn Tigers moves a notch closer home, stopping off at
Columbus tomorrow afternoon to continue an age old rival­ry
with the Bulldogs from the University of Georgia at
Memorial Stadium.
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.

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-

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

'Down Argentine Way*
Is One of Season's
Best Musical Comedies
Boasting eight torrid songs, a
6,000 mile whirlwind romance, a
sensational new star, as well as
two of the biggest names in
movies, the greatest musical ex­travaganza
of all time opens Sun­day
at the Martin Theatre. 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

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!

"Mamae Eu Quero" and
"Touradas Em Madrid."

'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.

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

* * »
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?

TI6ER TALES
By "BOOTS" STRATFORD
This is one of those no quarter asked or given battles
and has been since way back before the turn of the cen­tury
when a young professor named George Petrie took
. a crew of crysanthemum headed giants
over to Piedmont Park in Atlanta and beat
those Bulldogs 10-0 in a bruising battle
that featured the dreaded wedge forma­tion.
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. He will see serv­ice
against the Plainsmen in the

I must be from the old school,
that school that enjoys seeing
frosh in their position. 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).

where the University of Georgia
is located, last week — they got
girl cheerleaders now, three of

and Dr. Duncan talked a
while, and then the band played
and got things pepped up, and oV
Chick Hatcher, he's our head
cheerleader, he really led some
fine yells—we got a new yell —
it's "Ge-e-e-e-, T'-a-a-n-ks"—pret­ty

"Gee whiz, this was a quick
trip — well, thanks for the ride,
maybe I'll see you at the game —
yessir, starts at two o'clock —
thanks a lot, and you can bet your
shirt on those Tigers — they've
got that fighting spirit that no
other team can match—s' long—
see you at the game, mister."
