Students Invade Birmingham for State Game
Remodeled Hall Provided for Tea Dances
Old Girls' Gym t o Be
Remodeled for All Tea
And Morning Dances
Following a lengthy interview
with Pres. L. N. Duncan yester­day
morning, it was announced
that the Old Girl's Gymnasium on
the Opelika Road will be complete­ly
remodeled for the use by stu­dents
for tea and morning dances.
Evening dances will continue to
be held in Graves Center Hall.
Dr. Duncan's statement to the
Plainsman fully covers the situa­tion
and is thus presented.
"In an effort to work out the
best possible arrangement for the
social program of the campus, the
administration has given a great
deal of time and thought to the
best uses of the facilities avail­able.
To begin with a combined
student-faculty committee was ap­pointed
to consider the question.
This committee consisted of Jim
King, Chairman of the Executive
Cabinet, R. T. Young, President
of the Interfraternity Council,
I and John Deming, Chairman of
ithe Social Committee. The facul­ty
members were Dr. Rosa Lee
Walston, Professor J. M. Robin­son,
and Mr. Robert Duncan.
"After canvassing the situation
thoroughly, it was decided that
the best place for morning dances
and tea dances would be the form­er
girls' gymnasium on the Ope­lika
road.
"Mr. Frank Orr and Mr. Sam
Brewster were asked to plan for
the most effective use of the
building. When the work, which
has already been started, is com­pleted,
this will be the best dance
floor on the campus. It is large
enough to accommodate all dances
except the three sets which are of
college-wide significance. These
will be held in Graves Center as
usual. Until the new dance hall
is ready for use, organizations
will have the choice of the Stu­dent
Center or the boys' gym­nasium,
when it is not scheduled
for other activities. Evening
dances will continue to be held in
Graves Center.
"Plans for remodeling the girls'
gymnasium call for the construc­tion
of an orchestra stand, proper
fire escape to the building, ade­quate
lighting facilities, repaint­ing
especially the interior, putting
in an entirely new floor and ar­rangements
for cloak rooms and
other necessary conveniences.
"We fully realize that some of
these facilities are not adequate
and not in keeping with our earn­est
desires. With the full loyal
and devoted cooperation of our
splendid student body and our oth­er
friends we are looking forward
to a time not far in the future
when we shall have an auditorium,
a student union building, and oth­er
modern equipment in keeping
with our lofty purposes for pro­viding
the latest and best in ev­erything
for our social and rec­reational
program.
"In conclusion, may I express
to the faculty members and to the
student leaders my profound ap­preciation
for the remarkably fine
spirit of cooperation and helpful­ness
in making the very best use
possible of what we now have."
Speaking for the student body
the Plainsman wishes to express
appreciation for the consideration
given by the college administra­tion
to the matter.
Students Will Select Beauties
Dance to Be Held

dance will be held at the Terrace
Ballroom of the Thomas Jefferson
Hotel beginning at 9 and lasting
until 1.
"Chuck" Allen and his "Missis­sippi

State for the dance and
following State's request, Miss
Janie Strickland, junior at Au­burn,
has been selected as Au­burn's
sponsor for the dances.
The "Cadets" are widely known
throughout collegiate circles in
the South and now advertise
themselves as "the South's finest
orchestra," with all due respects
to our own Auburn Knights.
All students who plan to stay
in Birmingham tomorrow night
are urged to attend. Admission
will be one dollar per person, or
one-fifty per couple.

Convocation Held
Yesterday Morning
Convocation for all women stu­dents
was held yesterday at the
Methodist Church, at which time
the coeds received their perman­ent
seats for all convocations
throughout the remainder of the
year.
Convocation will be held every
other week throughout the year
from 11 until 12 on Thursday
mornings. This hour was selected
as no girls had classes at that
time.
At yesterday's convocation Dr.
Walston delivered a short talk.
Card Display To Be
Used at State Game
Students Are Asked
To Give Cooperation
By DAVID ALLEN
There will be another surprise
awaiting the fans at the Auburn-
Mississippi State game in Birming­ham
tomorrow. The long-awaited
card display will be put to its in­itial
use of this year. It was used
successfully at the Villanova and
Homecoming games last fall, and,
after much planning and revising,
it plans to be even more flashy
and exciting this season.
The cards will be blue and
white this year, instead of blue
and orange as was tried last fall.
This color combination promises
to give clearness and a legibility
of a higher degree.
On the white side of the card
will be printed the directions.
There are to be eight formations,
each having a number. Whenever
the cards are to be used, Chick
Hatcher, head cheerleader, will
hold up a white signal with a
numeral. The student will read
how his card is to be held, and at
a whistle he will bring the card
up under his chin, with the cor­rect
color facing the field. The
displays will be used only during
time out periods and during the
half, and the student body is urged
to be alert and cooperative in the
use of the cards.
There will be 840 cards in a
part of the student section. The
formations include a Tiger, an
Eagle, "A", and an "M" for the
Mississippi State game. Imagine
sitting on the opposite side of the
Stadium, peacefully waiting for a
time out period to end, and sud­denly
finding yourself faced with
a gigantic Tiger and the rhythmic
strains of "Tiger Rag."
The idea was started at Auburn
last year by Johnny Davis. After
noticing in Life magazine some
pictures of Southern Cal's card
display, he began to wonder if
API couldn't do as well. Getting
to work with S. D. Collier, he be­gan
to make plans, and, with the
assistance of the Architectural
Department, was able to get some
cards in shape for the Villanova
game. The fdea met with great
success, and, after much more
planning and revising, they are in
shape to do credit to our school
(Continued on page 6)
stu­dents
the right to make these
choices.
At the ball on next Saturday
night in Graves Center Hall a pa­rade
of 50 selected coeds will be
held and all students attending the
dance will be eligible to vote for
the eight beauty section girls.
Ballots will be prepared for all
students at the dance to cast their
vote for the "eight most beautiful
girls in Auburn."
The results of the vote will be
announced at the annual ODK
Musical Miscellany to be held at
a later date, as will the announce­ment
of the selection of "Miss
Auburn," who will be elected by
popular vote at a later date.
All students are urged to make
plans now to attend the ODK-Glomerata
Ball on Oct. 19 and
cast their vote for the members
of the beauty section of this year's
Glomerata. Tickets are now on

Colonel Waterman
Discusses Draft
Bill at Ag Club
Tells Students They
Will Not Likely Be
Called at Present
The "Selective Service Act,"
was the subject of a talk given
by Colonel Waterman, at the regu­lar
meeting of the Agricultural
Club last Wednesday night. He
told of the first militia bills passed
in this country and gave facts
showing the strength of our early
armies.
"The conscription law will have
little or no effect on you students
at present," Colonel Waterman
stated. "Next Wednesday, all men
from 21-36 are required to regis­ter;
however, all men carried on
the rolls of advanced ROTC here,
do not have to register. Students,
who must register, and who are
not residents of Auburn, will reg­ister
in the basement of Samford
Hall from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,"
he continued.
Colonel Waterman further stat­ed
that a student can apply to
have his service deferred until he
gets a degree. After graduation
he is eligible for call. If he desires
to do graduate work, he can apply
to have his service deferred until
he finishes his education. The
preferable time for a student to
take -training is just after he

More than 1500 Pack
Graves Center Hall
The United States Marine Band
played a splendid concert to an
audience of over 1500 people in
the auditorium of Graves Center
last night. The band was here on
the Auburn Concert and Lecture
Series, being the first of that pro­gram.
Under the direction of Captain
William F. Santelmann the band
played a group of selections rang­ing
from symphonic and operatic
music to the latest swing, includ­ing
in that a number of stirring
marches.
The auditorium was crowded,
many people having to stand dur­ing
the whole of the concert. The
music was exceptionally fine, and
was enjoyed and appreciated by
all. The encores were many, the
band played two or three of them
after each selection on the pro­gram.
The first part of the program
included the Symphonic Overture,
Opus 19, by Burnet Tuthill; a
tone poem, "Skyward," by Na­thaniel
Shilkret; a trombone solo,
"Blue Bells of Scotland," by
Arthur Gershwin; and Excerpts
from the Grand Opera "Natoma,"
by Victor Herbert.
After a short intermission the
program continued with an An­dante
from the Nordic Symphony,
by Howard Hanson; a fantasy, "A
Victory Ball," by Ernest Schell-ing;
and the "Star Spangled Ban­ner."
The encores included "The Dip­lomat
March" and "Stars and
Stripes Forever," by Sousa; "God
Save America," selections from
Stephen Foster, "Dixie,"; "I'll
Never Smile Again," "Chopsticks,"
and "When the Swallows Come
Back to Capistrano."

Give Us More Games
In Our New Stadium
During that great span of time from
the beginning of the Auburn football
team until 1938, students of Auburn as
well as others who had an interest in
the college made a great clamor over
the need of a football stadium at Au­burn.
Nothing can be said about those
who entered into this outcry as a sta­dium
at Auburn is a great asset.
Then in 1938, President L. N. Duncan
began a great program here at Auburn
with the aid of the federal government.
That program included the building of
the Auburn Stadium. Now the students
of Auburn may proudly say that they
have one of the most magnificent sta­diums
of any school in the south.
But what is the point of having such
a grand stadium if only one game is
played there every year? Last year the
Tigers met the Florida Aligators in the
new stadium and this year they only
come in contact with Clemson. Isn't this
program of letting the stadium lay idle
one of waste. Great sums of money,
worry, and work went into the construc­tion
of this huge stadium.
It is the views of many of the students
at Auburn and also alumni, that the
Athletic Department at Auburn should
schedule more games to be played in
the stadium every season. They certain­ly
have the right to have this view. They
pay their fees which aid in the upkeep
of the great Auburn football team. Many
of them pay all that they can possibly
afford for these fees and do not have
enough money left to see any games ex­cept
those held at Auburn. Is it fair to
those students, to provide only one game
for them every year while at the same
time they have to pay just as large fees
as any other student?
This year the game with Florida was
brought from Gainesville, Fla. to Co­lumbus,
Ga. so that the students of Au­burn
would be able to see more games.
Isn't it only reasonable to believe that
even more students would see that game
If it were played in the Auburn Stadium?
Neither would it be any trouble on the
part of the Florida team as they would
have to travel only thirty additional
miles to get to Auburn.
And so why not give us more real
home games to see? Is it too much trouble
to schedule games in our new stadium?
We undoubtedly have the greatest
"practice field" in the nation. W.H.
Congratulations, Squires!
You eight sophomores, members of
Squires, have been given the highest
honor that any man in your class can
hold. A group of older men, proven
leaders on the campus, have expressed
their belief in you, belief that you have
"what it takes" to make real college
men.
Your selection to Squires is the best
compliment that anyone can pay you.
You were chosen because of your scho­lastic
record, because of your promise
as future leaders, and because of the
faith that ODK-has in your character.
ODK is playing on futures. They're
betting that you sophomores of 1940-41
will "run the campus" in 1942-43.
Things won't be so easy for you. But
they won't be quite as hard as they were
for your predecessors, the Squires of
1939. They were faced with the prob­lem
of being the first group of an or­ganization
which was to function in serv­ice
on the campus. And they had to plan
programs, invent brainstorms, rack their
brains for ideas of better and better
ways to serve Auburn.
Those members of last year paved the
way for you fellows. They set up certain
standards, opened certain channels of
thought for you, instituted certain bene­ficial
things which you can help to make
permanent.
Those members made a name for your
organization. They set a goal for you
to reach—and they set it high. ODK
knew the difficulties you would encount­er
in getting to this goal.
So, congratulations, fellows! We're
betting on you too. May you uphold the
honor of Squires!
Why Not Fit the
Date to the Band?
We're not complaining about the or­chestra
we have for the Opening Dances,
because Tommy Tucker and his aggre­gation
have an excellent band. But we
do suggest that the Social Committee
try fitting the date for the dances to the
band, rather than setting a date and
then trying to get an orchestra to fit in
the specified date.
We believe that if the social commit­tee
would take this step that they would
have a wider number of top-notch or­chestras
to select their band from. One
reason that bands of rather low calibre
have come here for dances previously
is because there were no other orches­tras
available on the date set by the So­cial
Committee.
Now we of course understand that this
could not be worked as well for the Mid-
Term Dances as these dances must be
held at a specific time on the college
calendar. But for the Opening and Final
Dances, this plan of fitting the date to
the orchestra could well be worked out.
Attend Services During
Religious Emphasis Week
Our second annual Religious Emphas­is
Week begins next Sunday night in
Graves Center. The services will con­tinue
through Friday of next week, both
at 11 in the morning and 7 at night, in
Langdon Hall.
We want to urge all students to at­tend
as many of these services as pos­sible.
It is not compulsory for you to at­tend
these services, but if you can find
it in your heart and soul to do so, then at­tend.
An hour or two of deep medita­tion
each day for a week would do each
and everyone of us a great deal of good.
Meditation is good for the soul, it is good
for the mind.
In this day of strife and torment in
other parts of the world, and anxiety
over the situation in our own United
States, it is well that we pause and take
a survey of ourselves, look at ourselves
in the mirror, and think for just a while.
The nation that is on the right side with
God will always win out in the long run.
Naturally we want to win out and be on
the right side.
Then let's attend Religious Emphasis
Week and devote an hour or two each
day to our Maker. Let's look at our­selves
a little closer, and let's think
about these things.
Plains Talk—By Herbert Martin CAMPUS CAMERA
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 night was your chance to
"tell it to the Marines," mean­ing,
of course, the Marine Band.
We don't know just what you
have to tell them, but we feel sure
that you have plenty to say af­ter
hearing this group of music­ians.
* * *
This is written before they even
get to Auburn, but us heard that
they'd make an anti-social billy-goat
get up and dance around on
his hind legs. Besides their fine
ensemble work, they boast an ar­ray
of soloists who can make their
instruments do anything except
drink a sloe ginn fizz.
* * *
We remember a cornetist whose
mechanical mastery and range
had us almost forgetting the bril­liance
of his tone. One of the
slip-horns made his slide go back
and forth as fast as a chicken
crossing a busy highway.
* * *
They can play long-hair like a
Persian kitten, but they don't ob­ject
to getting a crew haircut for
some of the modern numbers. And
we remember a skit that would
have brought crinkles to t he
mouth of the Great Stone Face.
* * *
To add our figures and get a
total, we're not dishing out free
advertising, and we haven't been
approached by their press agent.
We're simply free, white, and
nearly twenty-seven, and we like
good music. We love these lads.
* * *
It looks as if November 8-9
will blow the lid as far as Open­ing
Dances are concerned. Home­coming,
fraternity house-parties,
and Tommy Tucker seem to guar­antee
the most successful set of
Openings in years, and we're talk­ing
about years.
Tommy Tucker, brain-father of
"The Man Who Comes Around,"
has written several sequels to this
tune which share its popularity,
and promises some novel arrange­ments
featuring a trio a bit on the
Babs, Charlie, and Little side
which made such a hit at the Mid-
Terms last year. These come at no
advance in prices.
* * *
Tucker waxes for Okeh records,
and his discs are just that. His
band is better known in Eastern
circles than in the South, and fea­tures,
besides a danceable musical
organization, a show band that is
tops in entertainment. More along
this line will be forthcoming.
* * *
We don't know whether or not
this is standard for sororities, but
the Marryin' Alpha Gams, judg­ing
from a form lifted from the
desk of one of the sistren, have
quite a system for reporting the
hitching of members to the na­tional
headquarters.
The blank has spaces for month­ly
reports of girls married, new
address, husband's name, pedigree,
and social status, and costume of
the bride. This must be filled out
in detail, or the marriage doesn't
count in the National Chapter
Sweepstakes.
All new marriages must be re­ported
on the same blank, to avoid
bulk in the mails.
Two down, Mississippi State to
go. The maroon-clad warriors
bring practically the same team
which threw such a thinly veiled
scare last year, if our informa­tion
is correct, and share the
early conference lead with Au­burn
and Ole Miss.
Auburn, victorious in two com­bats,
will trot a war-weary team
on the field. Game psychology is
all against us. We fear for our
collective lives.
The MSFFGAS predicts . . .
Auburn 53, Miss. State 6.

Karrie, the Kampus Kibitzer,
just took a glimpse over our shoul­der
at the prediction. Says Karrie,
"Aw-w-w-w . . . NUTS! Are you

Students Over Nation Express
Their Views on Draft Service
The pulse of America's collegians
is quickening. It will be an inter­esting
study, when things have re­turned
to a more normal state, to
analyze the swing in collegiate
opinion during the months when
congress was debating and pass­ing
the conscription bill.
Comment of the Daily Athen­aeum
at West Virginia university
is typical: "Strangely enough, the
consensus on the campus has
changed considerably since last
spring. Many who were then op­posed
to conscription are now in
favor of the draft." The Athen­aeum
also observes that American
youth has no argument with peo­ples
of any land and would rather
spend its energy in friendly rival­ry
of sports—BUT YOUTH IS
READY."
At Louisiana State university,
the Daily Reveille urges "a vote
of confidence to our congressional
leaders who finally secured pass­age
of the conscription bill. Why
should we not have selective ser­vice
when the imminent black
clouds of war are shadowing every
phase of liberty designed by peace-loving
peoples?"
At East Texas State Teachers
college, the East Texan believes
that the munitions makers are now
satisfied, and that "they smile as
they run their hand in their pocket
to feel the place that will hold
those fat, juicy profits." But the
Texan adds that "from past dem­onstrations
of patriotism on the
campus, it is evident that all stu­dents
will answer the call and that
they will be glad to defend their
country."
While admitting it is "natural
enough" that some college men
should not favor the draft law,
the College Exponent at Mayville
(N.D.) State Teachers college
warns the public not to "get the
wrong opinion of this college
youth. The majority believe in
military training for the defense
of our country. No class of youth
is more patriotic or loyal to these
United States."
"Conscription should be hated,"
declared the Brown University
Daily Herald, "but it should not
be shunned. We should use it in
the same way we use a dangerous
and distasteful medicine when the
body must be protected from the
onslaught of a deadly disease."
Analysis of nationwide collegiate
opinion reveals considerable sup­port
for the view expressed by the
Alligator at the University of
Florida: "Conscription is a sacri­fice
worth making so long as the
conscripted defend—not offend,
invade or seek to conquer." Echo­ing
this warning is the Dartmouth,
which fears "there may be a dan­ger
in the spirit that runs through
it all. If we do not intend to find
our own war, we had best keep the
fact in mind. If our talk of war
against the principles of fascism
is sincere, it would do no harm to
fight it at home with action and
not words. A beaten-up Jehovah's
Witness makes unconvincing copy
for an anti-facism crusade."
Thus the nation's student youth
accepts the principle of conscrip­tion,
willing to sacrifice when
necessary but on the alert to safe­guard
historic liberties.—(ACP)
Like Father, Like Son
Like father, like son—that's the
pet theory of Dr. Walter B. Pills-bury,
University of Michigan psy­chologist,
who says the father's
IQ could be used for the son's col­lege
entrance examination.
The psychologist found in a
statistical study that the differ­ence
between the father's grades
and his son's marks is comparable
to the relative scholastic achieve­ments
of the son in high school and
college.
Dr. Pillsbury also found that
brothers and sisters of the same
family generally make the same
grades, and he attributes the sim­ilarities
to inheritance and not en­vironment.
He concludes that the govern­ment
should give financial aid to
intelligent couples so that they
might produce intelligent off­springs.—
(ACP)
Down around Atlanta they tell
many an anecdote about Warren
Aiken Candler, retired Metholfi&t
bishop who is credited with "fath­ering"
Emory university. Now in
his 80's the venerable bishop once
(and only once) tried to drive an
automobile. There was an accident
and he was injured slightly.
Climbing out, he plumped down
heavily on a lawn and clarioned
to the gathering crowd: "Get me
a doctor—and get a veterinarian,
too. I was a jackass for trying to
drive the thing."—(ACP)

General Delivery—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.
Reading in the library's copy
of "Indians of the Americas," by
Edwin R. Embree, I am freshly
intrigued by the thrilling if frag­mentary
history of the natives of
the great double continent of
America. It is interesting to re­member
that the white man wiped
out civilizations which had at one
time surpassed his own. For there
was a time during the Dark Ages
when the Maya cities of the Yu­catan
contained the highest con­temporary
pinnacle of human ac­complishment.
Once every 52 years, according
to the complicated calendar of the
Aztecs of Mexico, came a fateful
day something akin to our Fri­days
the 13th. At the close of...
every 51-year cycle, the Aztecs
believed it was a 50-50 chance
that the world would go on or that
doomsday would come. On that
day every fire in the land was
extinguished, and at midnight an
elaborate ceremony was conduct­ed
atop the great temple in Mexi­co
City.
The population waited with
thrills of terror as the high priest
struck a new blaze from sticks of
wood. It was believed that if no
fire should come, doomsday would
be at hand. When the fire was
finally struck, an immense bon­fire
was lit on the temple's top
which could be seen for miles.
Then great numbers of runners lit
pine torches and carried the di­vine
fire throughout the nation,
"and the day came in the night."
It must have been a magnificent
sight.
* * *
Everybody is interested in
"Names and names,
Prides and shames,
Handles of distinction,
Methods of extinction . . . "
Since the tribe of Smith is al­ways
with us, and since the Jones-i
es usually wonder whether it is
spelled with an "i" or a "y", I
have out of the kindness of my
heart decided to introduce the
Smiths to their champion. His
name is G. K. Chesterton, who
invests them with glory. He cries, —
"Smith! That name made of iron
and fire!"
I should think Sugg would be
an easy name for people to catch,
but it is just the other way. I was
permanently outraged by a man
who once read by name to an au­ditorium
full of folks as Reeding
Snuggss. Excepting Slugg, Snuggs
is about the worst thing I am
called. I have almost become re­signed
to being plural. I have de­cided
that it is a compliment.
Somebody told me of the name
to top all names. A little pickan­inny
is named Christmas Easter
and the Glorious Resurrection of
. the Lord, or Joe for short.
* * *
Have you heard the horrid
rumblings of depression in the air?
Some folk seem to think we had
our seven lean years and are to be
cheated out of part of our seven
fat ones. The sparce stock in the
stores would seem to support this
bit of pessimism. Out of all this
mess of war and international im­morality,
it is to be hoped that
some better system of economy
will be evolved. It is a blighting
thing to be sure that so much as
we enjoy prosperity so much shall
we suffer bad times.
* * *
This summer I caught a ride
with the driver of a big yellow ^
van who adds his bit to the fasci­nating
chronicle of humanity. He
told me that his philosophy of life
was enjoyment, just for the "hell
of it." As we bounded and lurch­ed
at 50 miles an hour, he told
me that he always' drives reckless­ly,
since he^figures if he is to
have a wreck he can't do anything
about it anyway. Comforting for
him, if not for his passenger.

W. G. Darty is business mana­ger
of the Plainsman. That puts
him in a bad light to start with as
any member of the business staff of
this sheet is considered "below the
average".
Nevertheless, W. G. is a good
lad as far as good little lads go
and as far as good little lads go,
he goes. (Courtesy the Editor.)
Making his home way down in
Lake Wales, Fla., W. G. is a Dean's
List student with an average hov­ering
between 96 and 97, and is
enrolled in aeronautical adminis­tration.
His high average is an­other
reason we think him "not
quite human".
He is a member of ODK honor
society, is president of Alpha Phi
Omega, scouting fraternity, pres­ident
of the Y.M.C.A., and a mem­ber
of various other organizations.
He is a member of Lambda Chi
Alpha social fraternity.
Constantly clamoring for a golf
team for the college, W. G. is him­self
an excellent golfer, although
he finds little time for this sort
of recreation, what with managing
the business of the Plainsman and
keeping up that high average.
He is also a member of Scab-
W. 6 . Darty
W.G.DAK.TY
bard and Blade, honorary military
society, and is a Lieutenant-Col­onel
in the Field Artillery.
And besides all these things, he
ought to be in the office right now
attending to his business. The bus­iness
manager of this sheet is never
around when he should be. He
never does any work anyway.

Knufe Rockne's
Life Story Shown
In Tiger Picture
Football Picture Shows
At Local Theatre on
Sunday and Monday
Once again Warner Bros, have
come through with a powerful
picturization of the life of a great
man. It was Warners who brought
the dramatic life of Emile Zola
to the screen. It was they who
told the startling story of Louis
Pasteur and then followed it with
the daring tale of Dr. Ehrlich and
his 'Magic Bullet.' Now, with the
initial showing of "Knute Rockne
—All American," at the Tiger
Theatre Sunday and Monday,
Warner Bros, bring you the life
story of a man whose contribu­tion
cannot be reckoned in any
concrete terms. For Knute Rock­ne's
influence on the youth of
America is incalculable. His popu­larity
traveled far beyond the
limits of football, at which he was
a master. It was his sense of
sportsmanship rather than the
sport itself that fired the imagina­tion
of people in every stratum of
life.
P a t O'Brien's portrayal of
Rockne is said to be the most au­thentic
imagery ever to flash
across the screen! His perform­ance
makes the audience forget
that they are watching a movie.
Instead they are completely en­raptured
by the interesting and
exciting adventure of his life.
Gale Page lends a touch of
-' tender romance to the film with
her portrayal of Knute's wife,
Bonnie. George Gipp comes to
life again, as played by Ronald
Reagan in his best performance to
date. Donald Crisp is splendid in
the role of Father Callahan, Presi­dent
of Notre Dame.
Old thrills are revived as the
famous "Four Horsemen" again
gallop across the gridiron to pile
up touchdown after touchdown,
with Bob Byrne as James Crow­ley;
Kane Richmond as Elmer
Layden; Nick Lukats as Harry
Stuhldreher and William Marshall
as Don Miller.
October Is Month of

'Brigham Young',
A Great Picture,
Coming to Martin
The epic and heroic Mormon
trek along a trail of almost in­surmountable
odds to ultimate
freedom is one of the most in-pressive
chapters in the growth of
America. Because of the valiant
battle they fought to find a place
where they could live as they be­lieved,
much has been written
about them and their leader, Brig-ham
Young. But it remained for
Darryl F. Zanuck, production
chief for 20th Century-Fox, to
realize the screen potentialities of
such a colorful subject. Zanuck,
who has recreated many outstand­ing
characters and events for the
screen, saw in Brigham Young
and his people a stirring story—
and decided to bring it to life. The
famous Louis Bromfield was as­signed
to write the story for the
production of "Brigham Young,"
which comes Sunday to the Mar­tin
Theatre.
Tyrone Power was given the
important role of Jonathan Kent,
Mormon s c o u t in "Brigham
Young." Opposite him is beautiful
Linda Darnell as "the outsider."
Twice denied success in Holly­wood,
Dean Jagger had returned
to the New York stage where he
had first made his mark. Last sea­son
he portrayed Jesse James in
the stage hit, "Missouri Legend."
Rugged, two fisted, a capable act­or,
Jagger seemed ideal for the
role of the Mormon leader, and
got it.

With the Ag Boys
By P. M. PRUITT
We ag eds doff our hats to
"Pewee" Lord, an ag ed senior,
who has been selected by the Col­legiate
FFA Chapter as the dele­gate
to the National Convention
to be held in Kansas City, Mo.,
late this fall. Lord has consist-antly
maintained a high scholastic
average throughout his college
career, and at the same time is an
all-round swell fellow. His quiet,
conservative personality has won
him many lasting friendships on
the campus, and we believe he has
much promise. We sincerely be­lieve
we couldn't have picked a
better representative to the con­vention.
So have a big time, "Pe­wee",
and bring home the bacon.

Third Straight Win
Clash at Legion Field in Birmingham Is
Top Contest of Week in Conference Group
By JOHN PIERCE
It's Auburn off the deep and again this week as the
twice-victorious Tigers move to Birmingham's Legion
Field to blast away at the vaunted Mississippi State Bull­dogs
in a game which holds at stake the ever elusive
Southeastern Conference Leadership.
State, with an aggregation that to date has dumped
Florida 25-7 and walked over Southwestern Louisiana
20-0, holds wide attention as the team to finish among
t h e leaders in the circuit, all of
which can't be made to spell any­thing
but trouble for a Plainsman
squad j u s t over its first real hump
of the season. Tomorrow's game,
t h e second in a series of ten
humps, should be another one of
those tossups where the ceiling
can j u s t as easily fall in on either
t e am and its hopes for national
glory.
S t a t e Has Stout Line
The Maroons came around earl­ier
in the season with shouts of
the South's miracle backfield;
mention of the line, if any, was
limited. Since then, however,
Allyn McKeen has displayed a
line t h a t has held both opponents
to 89—spelled eighty-nine — net
yards from scrimmage while lead­ing
the aforenamed backfield to
35 first downs as against four
for the opposition. The Bulldog
ball carriers have ripped off close
to 1,000 yards in rushing, passing,
and punt and kickoff returns.
Seven of the State linemen are
veterans and since present regu­lations
call for but seven men on
t h e line the situation might be
called ideal.
The backfield remains t he
closest competitor in Dixie to the
famed Auburn quartet so it ap­pears
that if anything is lacking
in the Bulldog camp it must be
equipment. Halfback Boots John­son,
present headliner and lead­ing
conference scorer of '39, is
back with his broken field capers
and shows himself with added em­phasis
as another of those backs
who can gain at any time. Sonny
Bruce returns after a year's ab­sence
due to injuries. Others to
see action tomorrow and through
out the season are Jefferson,
Tullos, Craig, Campbell, Black,
and Dees.
Line Is Heavy
Buddy Elrod at left end, the
head and shoulder standout on
the line, is being held up by Mis­sissippi
fans as the only logical
AU-American replacement for Ken
Kavanaugh. At the opposite flank,
complete with 205 pounds, will be
Arnold Moore. Tripson and Ar­nold
at tackles, McDowell and
Capt. Hunter Cohern at guards,
and center Ben Griffin will fill
in the bulk of the thus far im­pregnable
190 pound line. With
the exception of Arnold, a junior,
all linemen are third year men.
Prospects at the Plains grow
brighter daily. The cry before
Howard was, "Give us reserve
strength and we'll be tough." As
was amply exhibited in New Or­leans
the reserve strength has
been found. A second team play­ed
almost half of the game, not
only scoring on the heavier Green
Wave but twice holding them on
downs within the Auburn 20 yard
stripe.' With two teams of such
l i t t le noticeable difference in

Teams in Rating
Following last week's conquest
of Tulane Auburn rolled in among
the twenty top grid teams of the
nation as ranked in the weekly
Williamson rating, second of the
current season. The Tigers now
hold the eighteenth spot and are
in a position where victory at Leg­ion
Field tomorrow should jump
them into the first ten and throw
the national spotlight directly to­ward
the Plains.
The Williamson rating is as
game ability to alternate by quar­t
e r s the Tigers are now capable
of dishing out a steady sixty
minute attack, something that re­serve
weakness has made difficult
in previous years.
Chrietzberg "Conies Through"
Any worry of center strength
has passed with Howard and Tu­lane.
Chrietzberg was top defens­ive
lineman of last week's game
and has suitable substitutes in
Burns and Williams. Other for­ward
wall positions are in capable'
hands and will continue so barring
injuries. And talk could go on
about the Auburn backfield all
day. Hope is high at the Village
and a seasoned squad awaits duty
in one of the year's really crucial
games.

Students Taking Advanced ROTC Will not
Be Subject to Draft Training Under Act
By DAVID ALLEN
Many of the students of API have been wondering
how the Selective Service Act will affect those male stu­dents
of Auburn who have reached the age of 21. This
article will try to clean away some of those disturbing
questions.
All of the male students, except those taking advanced
ROTC, who have reached the age of twenty-one and not
thirty-six, must register. This includes all foreign students,
but only those who have declared
their intention to become citizens
are eligible for service. Students
who are "cadets of the advanced
course, senior division, Reserve
Officers Training Corps shall not
be required to register and shall
be relieved from liability for train­ing
and service" under this act.
"Ministers of religion, and stu­dents
who are preparing for the
ministry in theological or divinity
schools . . . shall be exempt from
training and service (but not
from registration) under this
Act." Also, any person who by
reason of religious belief or faith
is a conscientious objector to war
is not required to be subject to
combatant service, but is subject
to either non-combatant service
or "work of national importance."
The date for registration is Oc­tober
16. It will be conducted by
the election officials or, if the
school or college should request,
under the supervision of a special
registrar for that institution.
"Each student, upon registra­tion,
will be assigned a number
and will be subject to call for
classification. Prior to receipt of
call he will receive a personal
data sheet, on section of which
provides for recording the indi­vidual's
education and includes a
specific question relating to at­tendance
at school or college dur­ing
the current academic year. If
the student requests deferment
and if his attendance during 1940
is verified by the college, his
training may be deferred until
July 1, 1941 or until the end of
the academic year." A student
may prefer to take his year of
training at a time when it will
interfere least with the continui­ty
of his program.
A student who is a member of
the National Guard will be sub­ject
to the requirements for duty

Freshman Debate
Will Start Soon
Five Teams Now Working
On Debate Tournament
Five freshmen debating teams
are now busily engaged in pre­paring
for the coming debates in
the freshman tournament which
begins next week. The orators are
receiving coaching under Profess­or
E. D. Hess, instructor in
speech, and the upperclassmen de­baters.
Many of the freshmen have had
previous experience in speech-making,
and some interesting dis­cussions
of the question are ex­pected.
The time and place at
which the debates will be held
will be announced soon. The ques­tion
is "Resolved: That the Pow­er
of the Federal Government
Should be Increased."
The competing teams are as
follows: Roy Fuller and R. C.
Horn; Sara Frances Godfrey and
Mary Hazel Ford; Aleen Mook
and Helen Krauss; Earnest Page
and A. J. Nigosian; Cullen Ward
and Henry Parks.
Each team will debate twice—
once on each side of the question.
The teams will be scored by three
judges on score cards providing
for rating on the following points:
knowledge of subject, skill in an­alysis,
skill in arguments, skill in
refutation, superiority in rhetori­cal
organization, superiority in
delivery, and superiority in per­suasiveness.

Well, only a week late. Last
week's column censored by the
higher upsy, who said it wasn't
fit for print. Reckon he was
right, because your singer got a
wild hair and didn't stop to think.
Will try to keep a civil head
from now on.
Question: How bout us pore
collitch men in the draft? Here I
am—free, white, above 21, un­married,
have no dependents (to
speak of), have no reserve com­mission,
no symptoms of flat feet,
and have perfect bullet recepta-bility.
When the President talked
about the draft in the newsreel,
everybody clapped but me — I
don't want to be a buck private
in anybody's army.
In the past there have been a
few articles about the Civilian
Pilot Training Program that the
CAA is sponsoring. There has
much mention of Lt. Cornell's
and Prof. Pitts' work, and they
are justly due credit, but there
remains the actual flight instruct­ors
who are never mentioned. —
never see their names in print.
Perhaps I could acquaint the read­er
with some of them.
First, there is Jimmy Brennan,
a simple cuss who is one of the
most conscientious of instructors,
and possesses the patience of bibli­cal
Job. He has been an instructor
for some years and was at one
time enrolled in school here.
Two of the instructors are stu­dents
in school at present, A. L.
Lumpkin and Frazier Fortner.
Lumpkin learned to fly here in
Auburn, taught 15 Tuskegee
Negroes this summer, and prom­ises
to be a favorite on the local
field wilth his first group of Au­burn
men. Fortner is now in Ten­nessee
getting re-rated for the
advanced school that begins some­time
this month. Frazier has been
flying since he was a child (he's
only 20 now) and has nearly a

thousand hours to date. There is
another qualified instructor in
school who is not instructing at
present, but is worthy of mention,
Stanley Kennedy, a freshman
from Tuskegee, who is only 18
years of age, and has been flying
for over three years.
Another young instructor on
the local program is Wilbur
Stokes of Montgomery. He is very
young, and learned his flying the
hard way, having to work to pay
for his flying time.
Three of the instructors that
were here this summer have gone
to do better things. Joe Lamunda
and Newt Saye are now teaching
in the Army primary school at
Tuscaloosa, and Russ West has
gone to Canada to fly bombers
to England for $1500 a trip.
In all, at the airport there are
eight ships owned by the Alabama
Air Service, in which ships the
students train, and two belonging
to the Auburn Aero Club, not to
mention Jim Sharman's Blue
Beast. There is an advanced train­er
being flown off the Auburn
field that is owned by Tuskegee
Institute, and used for the ad­vanced
flying for Negroes. Their
instructor is colored.
Auburn is becoming very air
minded, for at present there are
nearly 100 private pilots enrolled
in school, and a group of 50 more
on their way.

(A Short Story)
By JIMMY GILBERT
When spring comes, or came,
we sit (or sat) at our books, with
one eye on the budding trees and
our mind on love and the thoughts
of a happy summer of relaxation,
when we can wine, woo, and wan­der
wistfully to our heart's con­tent.
Home, where there are no
bells and classes—that heavenly
land of no alarm clocks. Ahhh . . .
But upon our arrival at the
door to this world of paradise, we
are met by le pere (which I think
means "the old man" in French)
who informs us, with that now
well worn paternal smile, that we
are now a working man, support­ing
ourselves, and that he is proud
of us. Not caring especially about
either supporting ourselves or
having anyone proud of us, we
open our trap with the thought
of discouraging any such horrible
idea, but we are interrupted by
the maternal half of our worries.
Our dear, sweet mother, who is
usually good for a touch at short
moments and is therefore our good
friend, now comes forth with
"Yes dear, and I have your sum­mer
clothes all packed. You're
leaving tomorrow."
So, in spite of h__l, high water,
and our protests about being a
mental and physical wreck, we
find ourselves almost immediately
the sole custodian of, and nurse­maid,
slave and mechanic to an
ancient and complaining Mack
truck that probably helped lose
the Battle of the Marne (or did
we win it?). It leaks all its liquids
and a few things more—all that
remains of the steering wheel is

With this mechanical white ele­phant
we are to haul dirt. Not
nice clean dirt, but real old dirty
nasty dirt that fills eyes, nose,
ears and hair as well as holes in
the road. It rains and we spent
our hours (30c per) digging the
Mack (now christened Pansy)
out of the mud. It rains some
more so we let the mud have
Pansy and go to our room to
to sleep.
But our living conditions are
really wonderful. The town has
one store and one house. The
house has five rooms, one of
which we share with a shovel op­erator,
a cat, two dogs, six roaches
and assorted rats, all of which
are very aimable. The bed is a
handsome slat-inner-straw affair
with peculiar lumps here and
there. We get chicken, awful cof­fee,
pancake size biscuit and ba­nanas
for breakfast, and the left­overs
for dinner and supper. The
head of the house eats everything
with either his thumbs or a knife,
but "They air church luvin' pip-pie
what won't have no drinkin'

ruins any chance of our using any­thing

TI6ER TALES
By "BOOTS" STRATFORD
BooTSSTQarFoRO
That predicted thrill of ours came off with a bang last
Saturday, rivaling even that famous Tulane game of '32
in verve and brilliance of offense. The outstanding ele­ment
of the contest was to me the quarter-backing
of Lloyd Cheatham, which was
overlooked unanimously by the so-called
experts. He mixed all the elements of of­fense
with cunning and dexterity all
through the game and his direction of the
Tigers' last touchdown was an excellent
example.
The ball had been worked down to
the Tulane three by the slants of Mc-
Gowen and the no-shift split bucks of
Deal as he cracked the Greenie line af­ter
taking the ball from Cheatham with an end
around by Teedie Faulk for 10 yards being mixed in.
At this point the Greenie defense had gravitated to
the middle to stop another expected bull rush by Deal.
And that's what it looked like as the Tigers lined up
and Cheatham took the ball from the center with­out
shifting while Deal rushed forward to gather it
up again but Lloyd kept that ball and as the Green
Wave swept in to stop Rufe, he eeled back a few
steps and pitched the pigskin right into McGowen's
waiting mitts in the right hand corner of the end zone.
That was quarterbacking to touch a coach's heart!
* * *
We'll need that devastating strategy tomorrow against
the Maroons for they have a backfield of star studded
brilliance with three flaming meteors running from the
tailback position besides a line that is heralded as one
of the strongest in America. Tomorrow's battle will prob­ably
be the turning point of the season for both teams
with possible championship and bowl honors for the win­ner.
State believes in her team and is ready to end a string
of lean years in competition with the Orange and Blue,
1930 being the last time the Bulldogs beat the Tigers. But
along with Sergeant Murphy of the stock room we have
confidence in the sharpness of the Tiger attack and we
believe that the score will be somewhere in the neighbor­hood
of that which he predicts, 26-19 in favor-of the
Orange and Blue.
* * *
We read of a little adverse criticism in the Mont­gomery
Advertiser of the cheering section's new yell,
"Aw Nuts" which is used after unfavorable penalties.
A commentator in the Advertiser branded the yell as
being unsportsmanlike and we reply by saying that
the novel cheer is a great deal more sporting than the
spontaneous "Booooooo" which used to roll out of
the Auburn stands after a penalty.
* * *
The flash card system which we are putting into ef­fect
in Birmingham for the first time this year will be
successful only if each student is willing to make each
of his guests cooperate with Chick Hatcher and the rest
of the yell leaders when they signal a formation. Let's all
get together and put this thing through and then it will be
all the easier to put over at Homecoming when we will be
in our own backyard and will be able to practice the dif­ferent
formations at the stadium.

"Every local board takes the

on. "The drawing for the num­bers

that two entry blanks for
the tennis tournament were re­moved
for the bulletin boards, and
they were unable to get all the
entries. Students who signed up

is made up of those employed in
industry vital to defense. Those in
Class 4 are not subject to call be­cause
of physical unfitness, in­sanity,

When registering, a person fills
out two cards, one of which he
keeps and one which the registrar
keeps."
Colonel Waterman predicted
that Juniors and Seniors enrolled
in ROTC will probably be ordered
to report for service upon grad­uation.
The pay for second-lieu­tenants

was used in several of the games
last year will be used for the first
time this season at tomorrow's
game. This display was used for
the first time by the Auburn
stands at Birmingham last year
when the Tigers defeated the Vil­lanova
Wildcats. Stratford also
announced yesterday that approxi­mately
1000 spectators would
take part in the display tomor­row
afternoon. He urges that all
students and their guests, who will
be seated in the same section with
the students, cooperate to the
fullest extent in order that the
display will be of the highest suc­cess.
Since no time has been avail­able
for the students to practice
the display, directions will be
printed on the back of the blue
and white cards that will be used
this year. Further directions for
the display system may be found
in Allen's front page story on the
display in this issue.
The Auburn Tigers have not
yet lost a game during this sea­son.
For this reason, the students
and supporters of Auburn are ex­pected
to fill the west stands at
Legion Field when the Tigers
clash with the Maroons. Certain
sports experts have professed
that they believe that the Maroons
will give the Tigers as great a
battle as did the Green Wave of
Tulane if not a better one.
Chancellor C. S. Boucher of the
University of Nebraska has an
answer for those who say golf is
a lazy man's game. He figures his
game, not strokes, and his best
around-the-course record is an
hour and 50 minutes. He stays in
the 70's despite his dog-trot be­tween
shots.

The way your cigarette burns does make a
