CO-CAPTAINS
Staff Photo By Lewis Arnold
On the ball, co-captains Tex Warrington, left, 205-pound center,
and Curtis Kuykendall, halfback, are looking forward to their first
game Sept. 29, against Howard at Montgomery.
Tex, a senior in business administration who played football
three years under Coach Carl Voyles while at William and Mary,
holds an honorable discharge from the Marines. He lives on South
Gay with his wife. A William and Mary graduate from Long
Island, he is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Kuykendall, a senior in vet medicine, is Auburn's only return­ing
letterman, from Sallis, Miss. While football was off the athletic
schedule last year, Kuykendall, by way of diversion, won the.440-
yard dash and tied for pole vault height at 12', 4" at the Southeast­ern
A. A. U. track meet held in Auburn last spring. He is a member
of ODK, AVMA, and the A Club.
Cast Selected
For New Play
The cast for "Out Of The Fry­ing
Pan," the Auburn Players'
forthcoming fall production, has
been selected. Those cast in the
various roles were: Susan Brown,
as Kate; Barbara Elder, as Marge;
Carolyn Jones, as Dottie; Mary
Frances Jones, as Muriel Mary
Sinclair, as Mrs. Garnet; Rodney
D. Moffett, as Norman; Carl
Hurston, as George; Thomas Ma-lone,
as Tony; David Vann, as
Mr. Coburn Dan Scott, as Mr.
Kenny; Jack Riley, as the 1st Cop;

The action of the farce is con­cerned
with the adventures, and
mis-adventures of six young peo­ple,
banded together for mutual
financial aid and morale building,
who are trying to ^crash Broad­way.
The date of the opening of
this play will be announced later.
It went into rehearsal Monday
night.
PHONE NUMBERS
What with the abundance of
coeds on the campus, part of the

Five Cheerleaders
Chosen Friday
Five new members of Auburn's
cheering squad, chosen from over
fifty contestants, showed students
a sample of their best "WAR
EAGLES!" in the stadium Friday
afternoon.
Louis McClain, Bobby Humph­ries,
Bill Newman, Wyleen Hill,
and Helen Walden were selected
to fill the orange and blue uni­forms
of the Tigers' yell team.
Judges were Coach Wilbur Hut-sell,
Coach Jeff Beard, and Kirk-ley
Brown.
Harry Gilmore, head cheerlead­er
and only Auburn veteran on
the squad, said that practice for
the first big pep rally on Thurs­day,
Sept. 28, has already begun.
Students will have their first op­portunity
to yell with the squad
at that time.
Louis McClain, Anderson, S. C,
is a member of the Alpha Psi pro­fessional
fraternity and a junior
in veterinary medicine.
Bobby Humphries comes from
Columbus, Ga., and is a sopho­more
in engineering. He is a
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Bill Newman. Columbus, Ga.,
was chosen as male cheerleader
from the freshman class. He is
enrolled-in engineering, and is a
member of Alpha Tau Omega.
Wyleen "Wiggles" Hill. Dalton,
Ga., represents the sophomore
girls on the squad. Wiggles is en­rolled
in Pharmacy.
Helen Walden, Opelika, is a
freshman ' in science and litera­ture.
Harry Gilmore, Columbia, S-C,
head cheerleader, is a member
of Alpha Psi, and is a senior in
veterinary medicine. He became
a member of the cheering squad
in 1942. ^
No Riding Classes
During Fall Quarter
To the disappointment of some
sixteen or seventeen students,
there will be no classes in horse­manship
this quarter, as the fees
from this small a group are not
sufficient to make this activity
profitable.
Dr. W. S. Edwards states that
because of the small number of
enrollments, they cannot hope to
hold a riding class. Dr. Edwards
also says that it is very dubious
as to whether there will be a
class next quarter.
Bull Durham Boom
Got a fag, hag? or something
similar was the frantic cry all
over, during the weekend.
Even t h o s e p e o p l e who
couldn't stand a Luckie, as op­posed
to a Camel, and vice-versa
— considered themselves
lucky if they got a pack of the
least of the least.
There were the co-eds who
sat on the side campus in the
Quad and couldn't resist asking
a couple of sailors where they
got the cartons they carried—
to which query they replied by
throwing a couple of packs at
the inquisitors. Thanks, Navy!
Maybe the situation will bet­ter
itself—so, those people who
awkwardly tried to roll their
own will be at peace, again!

To dedicate Westminster House,
dream-come-true center of Au­burn
Presbyterian students and
their friends, Rev. Joseph M. Gar­rison,
D. D., director of student
work in the Presbyterian Church
of the United States will come to
Auburn from Louisville, Ky., next

Efforts are being made to bring
the Rev. Harold J. Dudley, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church
of Birmingham and chairman of
the Synod of Alabama's commit­tee
on the Auburn student center
campaign, to the service.
Westminster House was opened
as a center for all Presbyterian
students and their friends early
last spring, but has never been
formally dedicated.
Besides being principal speaker
at the dedicatory services Sunday
evening, Dr. Garrison will preach
the 10:55 a. m. service in the
Presbyterian Church.
The dedicatory service will be­gin
with a supper at 6 p. m. for all
Presbyterian young people. Fol­lowing
the meal, Dr. Garrison
will make a short address before
the actual dedication begins.

the office of Pres. L. N. Duncan,
the American Legion, representa­tives
of the college, the ministers
of Auburn, and town representa­tives

new
Constitution, which has been
formulated by the cabinet in the
last two quarters, will also be ac­cepted
or rejected by the student
body in this election. This, Au­burn's
first student government
Constitution geared for the quar­ter
system, will be printed in next
week's issue of The Plainsman.
Qualifications for all offices in­clude
a petition signed by six per
cent of the total enrollment of the
candidate's class, a scholastic av­erage
of at least 2.0, and member­ship
in the proper class for the
desired office.
Petitions must be turned in to
Mrs. Wallace Tidmore, reception­ist,
at Dr. Duncan's office before
noon Wednesday, September 27.
Qualifications board will meet
all candidates Thursday, Septem­ber
28 at 7 p. m. in Dr. Duncan's
office. Students must be official­ly
qualified by this board before
they are eligible to run for office.
President, vice-president, and
secretary-treasurer of each class
will be elected. Positions for rep­resentatives
to the cabinet are
also open.
Seniors Vole For Prexy
Seniors will name the president
of the cabinet and three repre­sentatives,
as well as class offi­cers.
Third quarter juniors and
first quarter seniors may run for
senior offices. Five year students
who are now in their second quar­ter
senior year may also qualify.
Juniors to Name Officers
Juniors will choose the vice-president
of the cabinet and two
representatives in addition to
their class officers. Students class-_
ified as juniors are third quarter
sophomores and first and second
quarter juniors.
Sophs to Choose Secretary
Besides choosing the secretary
of the executive cabinet, the soph­omore
class, consisting of third
quarter freshmen and first and
second quarter sophomores, will
elect one representative to the
cabinet. Class officers will also
run in this election.
Rals Vote
Freshmen will choose their
class officers and one representa­tive
to the cabinet. Only first and
second quarter freshmen are
classed as freshmen, Gibbs Ashley
said.
Fifth Year Students, Tool
Fifth year students, for the first
time in Auburn's history, will se­lect
one representative to the cab­inet.
Every student is asked to read
the Constitution thoughtfully.
Since the old Constitution was
adopted before our country en­tered
the war, it is necessarily so
out-moded that the Cabinet is no
longer able to comply with its
provisions. Thus it was necessary
to draw up a new constitution,
which will be submitted for rati­fication
at this election.
Tin Can Collection
Set For Saturday
An all-day collection of tin cans
and other wasted materials will
be directed by the members of
Alpha Phi Omega fraternity and
by Chi Omega sorority on Satur­day.
Townspeople have been asked
to have their tin cans flattened
ready to be picked up by a truck.
Scrap should be placed in a con­venient
place near the street or
in front of the house to insure
prompt removal to a salvage
dump for shipment.

This Is Your Paper
The college newspaper is a unique insti­tution.
In some respects it is like the news­paper
operated as a private enterprise,
having many of the same objectives and
traditions. In other respects, however, it
differs. The Plainsman, like the newspa­pers
of most other colleges, must take into
account these special conditions:
1. It enjoys a monopoly in its field by
virtue of grants of authority from both the
college and the Student Government Asso­ciation.
Having a monopoly in the publica­tion
of current information, it cannot
represent any single group or single opin­ion,
but must take into account all groups
and all opinions.
2. In the sense that the college acts as
the collection agency for The Plainsman
and requires by official action that every
student support it, the paper becomes at
least a semi-official function of the college.
3. Bearing the official approval of both
college and student body, each issue of
The Plainsman will necessarily reflect
credit or discredit upon both the institu­tion
and the students. By contrast, the
private newspaper is a direct reflection
only upon its owners and staff.
4. The management of The Plainsman,
unlike the management of private news­papers,
is elected. The management,
therefore, acts as temporary custodian. But
while being in temporary control, its ac­tions
have a bearing upon financial sta­bility
and reputation of the paper during
future administrations.
It can readily be seen that the manage­ment,
upon election, does not become sov­ereign—
that is, it does not have supreme
authority. It is responsible to the student
body and the college jointly; the Publica­tions
Board, representing both, has been
set up as the instrument of this authority.
The Board's responsibility does not involve
one of detailed supervision day by day,
but it does mean that the Board is respon­sible
for setting up fundamental policies of
operation, and that the management of
the paper is responsible to the Board for
putting into effect such policies.
In its sphere The Plainsman can be op­erated
as a laboratory providing practical
opportunities for experience in the tech­niques
of journalism, and at the same time
as an experience in the operation of a
vital democratic institution. The extant to
which freedom is granted necessarily de­pends
upon the degree to which student
management develops a realistic sense of
responsibility.
The following policies are minimum es­sentials
in the conduct of the paper:
1. In all its phases, news, editorial and
business, the paper should be conducted so
as to reflect upon the college as an insti­tution
and upon the student body.
2. The principles of sound business prac­tice,
recognizing the fact that The Plains­man
is a permanent not a temporary en­terprise,
should be followed. ,
3. Recognized principles of journalism
ethics should be followed, including these
practices:
(A) The paper should be edited in a spir­it
of tolerance, restrait and good will, both
in its attitude towards persons off the cam­pus
and those on it.
(B) Recognizing the fact that it has cir­culation
off the campus, care should be
taken to follow standards of good taste.
Vulgar, coarse and uncouth expressions
have no place in it.
(C) In news coverage, the views of ev­ery
person or group involved should be ex­pressed
without partisanship.
(D) In any news story or editorial in­volving
criticism or implications of criti­cism
against the administration of the col­lege,
the official involved should have an
opportunity to state his or her position and
such matter should be included in the
particular news story or editorial. (There
is nothing unusual about this provision; it
is an inviolate policy of every reputable
newspaper and press association.)
(E) The editor shall be held responsible
for avoiding libellous statements.
(F) All letters to the editor which are
printed should be signed by the author.
4. Frequent meetings of the Board of
Publications should be held in' order to
develop a continuing understanding be­tween
the management of the paper and
the representatives of the administration
and the student body.
To Graduate Or Not To Graduate
The end of last quarter brought to light
a problem that seems to plague graduating
seniors in every class that finishes at Au­burn,
and it seems to be a problem that
it regularly overlooked by nearly everyone
since it concerns only those who are grad­uating.
The problem is whether or not a
candidate for a degree will really graduate
the quarter that he is expecting to finish
in.
Every quarter there are a few students,
sometimes "A" students, who do not know
until commencement day whether they
will pass their coursas. They mail out their
invitations and then begin a period of
sleepless nights worring about the em­barrassment
they might experience if they
fail to graduate on time.
The obvious reply would be that the
students should study and work hard to
be sure of passing; But that isn't the solu­tion.
Some of the senior subjects are so
difficult that none of the students make a
passing grade in class, and the final grade
on their work is determined "on the
curve." Consequently there is way for
them to know for certain about their class
standing.
Other schools solve this headache by
saving several of the lighter subjects for
the last quarter in a curriculum, so that the
student may be sure that with enough
work he will not embarrass his family and
friends by failing to receive his degree on
the appointed day.
Scrap Drive
Once again the drive is on. There is al­most
always a drive, of one kind or an­other
here, and this time it is the scrap
drive for metal, directed by Alpha Phi
Omega, national service fraternity and
the Chi Omega sorority.
These patriotic students are contributing
their time to the all-day collection of tin
cans and other wasted materials' which
are badly needed in the present war ef­fort.
Although the news is good, there is peace
talk, and many people have optimistic
views regarding the battle in Europe the
battle on the home front must continue.
Tin cans are melted down upon reclaim­ing,
for the vital metals which they con­tain,
but must be clean and flattened be­fore
they are melted. The collection of the
cans from housewives is somewhat of a
task and the students cooperating in the
drive are to be commended.
In true Auburn style they have pitched
in to do their bit by directing the drives
carried on previous to this one, each time
coming through1 with a fine record.

EN PASSANT
By DOTTIE WOODALL
There was a time when from one quarter's end to the next
inhabitants of the Quadrangle didn't know what was going on
in the world outside of Auburn. No newspaper, no effort to
read any except occasionally The "Plainsman, no time to listen
to news broadcasts; it was just a little too much trouble to
walk to the library to read the daily papers. That day is
passed.
An up and coming high school girl has subscribers on each
floor of the various dormitories, and delivers your choice of
"The News" or "The Journal" to your very room. In one case
we know of members of the same suite failed to get together
on the proposition and all made arrangements with the little
news girl. Now they have tons of print tossed into the suite
each afternoon. They are contemplating keeping a clipping
service and renting their material to members of the Current
Events classes.
One of the pet peeves of the coeds who eat in the Quad­rangle
dining hall has long been those meal ticket books. There
is a general feeling that it would be only a matter of minutes
to devise a much simpler, saner way of determining who is
entitled, by reason of board paid, to eat there. After all we've
heard about there being a shortage of paper, it is a bit disgust­ing
to see the tickets torn out, thrown into a basket right in
front of our eyes, and presumably carted away to wherever
old trash goes. Also, is there any reason why there should be
an unnecessary, artificially inflicted, further complication to
our already red-taped lives? Surely whatever amount is spent
for the cardboard crosses we bear three times a day could be
used for some other purpose, and there's no doubt that the
time spent by office personnel in issuing them, and by the
dining hall boys in collecting them is wasted.
And that's the opinion we've all had all along. Occasionally
it occurred to us to wonder why those whose business it is to
think of such things had never seen it in that light. Okay, so
much for that—we weren't going to get beyond the muttering
stage about it. But the other day came what is usually called
the straw that broke the camel's back, or, to be even triter,
THE LAST STRAW. The dietician, and don't blame her—she
was acting under orders from somewhere, got up during a meal
and announced that from now on when, a girl lost her ticket
book, she would no longer be admitted on presentation of her
receipt.
She would be required to go by the cashier's office, and
get another issued to her. For this "service" she would be
charged a fee of $2.00. That shot holes right through the former
premise that the purpose of having ticket books was to insure
a girl's not getting in who had not paid her board, because a
receipt certainly shows that just as clearly as a ticket book.
There does not seem to be any possible reason for such an
announcement's being made. Is it the two dollars that's in
question? Of course, it's well known that many girls lose their
books, so this should prove a very profitable innovation. May
we suggest that if things are as bad as all that they might start
fining students who are absent from class instead of requiring
excuses? Or institute a toll gate at the entrance to each of the
four dormitories?
* * *
Such a large number of girls turned up at the Y Hut last
week for try-outs that they had to be continued for two nights.
With only five feminine parts to be cast, it looked like a titantic
task, and I suppose it was. However, this is really an encourag­ing
sign.
When we have a new freshman class with so many in it
who are interested right at first in participating in such activi­ties,
things are sho nuff on the up-beat. There have been quite a
number to volunteer to work on the paper, too—happy day!
Not having an connection with the Glee Club, and other simi­lar
organization, we aren't sure what response they have got­ten
from the new students, but probably it was good, too.
* * *
And we might add, this promises to be by far the most in­teresting
quarter since our freshman year. Football, and all
that, ya knew. Is it just the vitamins we've been taking, or is
there truly a Blue Skies atmosphere around the village?

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.
The freshmen are, in traditional
Auburn style, turning out rather
than better anyone thought they
would—that is, anyone with the
exception of professors and stu­dents
who have been here five
or more years and are used to
freshmen and how they turn out.
For example, five freshman
boys, wearing rat caps, modestly
walked into the Plainsman office
and stopped just inside the door.
They were balancing coins on
their thumbnails and divided
their more harried looks between
the door and the floor. One of
them broke the rapidly becom­ing
awkward silence by asking if
they might buy five copies of The
Plainsman.
Needless to say, they were pre­sented
with The Plainsman copies,
gratis, and Laney, with his cus­tomary
tact and wit, suggested
that they spend their nickels on
ice cream.

Georgia Tech's Technique came
out with an editorial in bold face
advocating a journalism course.
To quote: "It is an accepted fact
that the successful man in any
field is often called upon to con­tribute
articles concerning his
work to professional or trade
journals, to periodicals, and to
newspapers.
* * *
"The Technique advocates the
addition to the curriculum of
Tech a modified or modernized
English course dealing with the
elementary details of journalistic
writing and reporting so that
Tech graduates may toe better
prepared for their professional ca­reers."
* * *
The controversial wartime cor­sage
has begun another furor—
this time at Tulane. The Hullaba­loo
printed an editorial for the
abolition of corsages at univer­sity
dances. The writer's two
main reasons for having corsages
done away with were that cor­sages
are unnecessary (most of
the students thought that was
true) and that corsages are badges
of fidelity and therefore not ap­propriate
in wartime when
badges are Purple Hearts. Nobody
thought the second reason good.
Probably the most sensible of
the suggestions by the students
for handling the situation were
that the whole thing be left up
to the couple concerned or if cor­sages
be abolished, evening
dresses be abolished too and all
the money be invested in war
bonds.
Or it might be nice to let the
girls wear their dates' hearts on
their shoulders.

Editor's note: The opinions expressed
is this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
Due to the great influx of new
copetition we expect the femmes
of this institution to put on a
scrap drive of their own. We pre­dict
that there will be an all out
effort to collect as many of the
little Greek pins as possible. To
circumvent this, advocate the
forming of a vigilante committee
to protect the rights of the Au­burn
wolf. Their purpose, object
and motto should be, quote, Un­pin
these gals, unquote. Entirely
too many of the glamorous cam­pus
goons have been retired from
active duty, because someone has
staked out a previous claim upon
their person.
We protest differ and object
to such low-handed skullduggery.
But first we suggest a special
holiday dedicated to the propo­sition
that all frat pins be return­ed
to their previous owner. If that'
fails then bring on the vigilantes
to round up the miscreants. They
will then be tried and those found
guilty will be mustered into the
hollow square and stripped oi
their pins publicly.

Trouble is abrewing! Confu­sion
runs rife. The "staying at

being confused. The boys have a

Reginald Oskaw invariably
wind up talking to Molly Fortes-que.
Course it might be gun get­ting
in the Grata Beta Theta
House for girls by mistake but as
for getting itno the boys GBT

Today, Forum and Againstum
consider the subject of women's
hats. Resolved: That women's
hats constitute a menace to so­ciety
and should be confined to
one simple style, or let the sky
and opium smokers dreams con­tinue
to be the limit, which is
opposite.
* * *
Forum: My wife's hats look
pretty good.
Againstum: They're out of style
if they do!
Forum: I say it's the women's
privilege to choose their own
headgear.
Againstum: If they had any
head gears they would go bare
headed before wearing those atro­cities
now in style.
* * *
Forum: They add variety to the
every day scene.
Againstum: Even variety gets
monotonous if continued long
enough.
Forum: They do no harm, and
if the ladies like them, why ob­ject?
Againstum: They make life
harder for the men. Even a circus
clown suffers. I heard one say
over the radio that his hardest
job was to find a hat which will
make people laugh.
* * *
Forum: Any woman can make
an inexpensive hat with a double
boiler and a bit of garden truck
tied around.
Againstum: That's what you
think. Those carrots, tomatoes
and cabbages have to come from
Paris and the boiler must be
stamped . . . "Smuggled through
the customs."

Rush Parties Given By Sororities
Starting With Social Center Tea
Each Sorority Entertains
With Four Parties
Two Are Given At First Of Week,
Other Two, Friday And Saturday
Beginning with Pan-Hellenic Tea, rush season for sorori­ties
started last week. Each group of girls entertained rushees
with two parties—a tea on Sunday and a party on Monday
night.
Alpha Delta Pi entertained rushees at a Black Diamond
Coffee in Social Center Sunday,
Sept. 10. Misses Lucille Rhodes
and Betty Beall greeted the
guests at the door and Mildred
McGough and Carolyn Clay gave
each girl a white diamond bear­ing
her name. The receiving line
was composed of officers and
alumnae of the sorority.
The rushees were asked to sign
the guest book, after which they
were served coffee and individual
cakes frosted with the sorority
colors of blue and white. The cof­fee
table was overlaid with a
damask tablecloth and the cen­terpiece
was a large diamond cen­tered
with a boquet of white as­ters.
Silver chapter candlesticks
and two silver coffee services
were placed at each end of the
table. Alumnae pouring coffee
were: Mesdames H. M. Martin,
McClure, Bowen, and Hixon.
Alpha Delta Pi entertained
Monday night at a Wishing Well
party at Social Center. Mrs. H. M.
Martin and Miss Betty Beall re­ceived
the guests at the door, and
Miss Martha Northcutt gave each
girl a name tag in the form of
a small red bucket. Each rushee
was given a wishing ring and a
gift from the large blue and white
wishing well over which Misses
Sue McDonald and Betty Jones
presided.
Miss Bert Raines led the group
singing accompanied at the piano
by Miss Nancy Black. Mrs.
Fletcher presided over the re­freshment
table where punch and
sandwiches were served, and each
rushee, upon leaving, was asked
to sign the guest book presided
over by Miss Mildred McGough.
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority
began their series of rush parties
Sunday afternoon with the tradi­tional
Chinese tea. As the rushees
arrived they were asked to re­move
their shoes and leave them
outside the door. When they en­tered
the oriental room they were
welcomed by the sorority mem­bers
who were dressed in Chinese
robes. Then they visited Confus-cius
and had their fortunes told.
Refreshments even had to be eat­en
with chop sticks.
On Monday evening, Alpha
Gams' rushees were entertained
at a Priates' tea. The guests were
escorted to tables covered with
bright red checked table clothes.
The waitresses, dressed in pirate
costumes, took the rushees order
for the drink that they selected
from the menu. Recorded music
was played during the party. Up­on
leaving, the guests went by the
treasure chest and drew out their
treasure.
Chi Omega entertained rushees
with a white taper tea Sunday af­ternoon.
The theme was carried
out by lighted white candles
throughout the room, and pro­gram
was presented by Laline
White, president, and Phyllis
Kloeti, vice president. The pro­gram
was intermittently supplied
with appropriate songs from the
members.
Monday night the Chi Omegas
gave a superstition party for
rushees. On entering the room the
guests beheld a big black caul­dron
out of which smoke poured.
It was presided over by a mem­ber
dressed like a witch as were
the tables of fortune telling and
seances. The theme was carried
out by superstition emblems on
the walls and about the room.
Delta Zeta gypsies entertained
at a traditional gypsy tea Sunday
afternoon in the sorority room
in Dormitory I. Each member of
the sorority wore a gay costume.
The gypsy dress of little Miss
Helen Collins, daughter of Mrs.
B. L. Collins, especially attracted
guests' attention.
Multi-colored ear rings were
given the guests, who were then
taken to the fortune tellers'
booths. Guests selected either the
palmist or the card-reading oracle
to predict their futures. Refresh­ments
carried out gypsy colors.
Mrs. W. C. Gewin and Mrs. Callie
M. Tucker presided over the sil­ver
services.
Mrs. Hilda Johnson, province
director, and Miss Tays Tarvin,
president, met the guests after
they have been served.
Hotel Delta Zeta opened Mon­day
night only to entertain soror­ity
guests. The DZ bell-hop took
guests into the lobby, where they
were met by histesses. A cigarette
girl dressed in sorority colors
gave cigarettes and souvenir
match folders.
Sorority colors of green and
pink were the theme of refresh­ments
which were served by Mrs.
C. M: Tucker and Mrs. C. C.
Pritchett.
Before leaving each guest was
given a bill and a receipt from
the hotel.
Kappa Delta entertained rushees
Sunday afternoon with a tea in
the sorority chapter room. The
officers and alumnae who com­posed
the receiving line were
Misses Catherine Tatum, Joyce
Slaughter, Evelyn Bell, Margaret
Toomer, Betty Peeples, Mrs.
Lawson, and Mrs. Hill. The room
was decorated throughout with
white roses, the KD flower.
The table was overlaid with a
lace tablecloth, and the alumnae
pouring tea were Mrs. Sam
Doughty and Mrs. Pick. The re­freshments
served were tea and
frosted white individual cakes
with the green letters KD on
top.
Monday night Kappa Delta
gave a Wishing Well tea for
tea for rushees in their chapter
room. In the room a column and
a well, wound about with ivy and
roses, was set up. The floor was
carpeted with grass and lawn
chairs were placed about on the
"lawn."
Rushees were given name tags
which were miniature buckets,
and the members' cards were dia­mond-
shaped. The refreshments
were punch, which was dipped
from the well, and green and
white sandwiches.
Alumnae assisting in entertain­ing
were Mrs. Charles Isbell,
Miss Eleanor Hightower, and Miss
Sarah Atkinson.
Phi Omega Pi launched the
rush season with a Blue and
White Tea on Sunday afternoon.
In the receiving line were Mrs.
Ellis G. Diseker, alumni Panhel-linic
representative; Miss Rebec­ca
Pate, faculty adviser; Dorothy
Woodall, president; and Mary Lou
Turner, vice-president. Around
two hundred guests called during
the afternoon. Presiding at the
punch bowl was Mrs. J. Hanson.
Assisting in serving were mem­bers
and pledges of the chapter..
Rushees were entertained by
Phi Omega Pi in the "Club Blue
Room" at it's formal opening in
the chapter room on Monday
night. The nightclub atmosphere
was created by a miniature bar, a
floor show complete with stage
and spotlight, a head-waiter,
hostess, and cigarette girl. Fea­ture
of the show was a dance
by Miss Olga Bibza.
Theta Upsilon sorority enter­tained
Sunday afternoon with a
tea in their chapter room at Dor­mitory

cloth centered with a large punch
bowl surrounded by fall flowers.
Punch was served by Mrs. H. W.
Nixon.

Ruth Cardiff, national chaplain,
Mary Popwell, president, Miss
Eleanor Home, adviser, Miss
Harriet Barnes, Miss Jewel Da­vis,

STUDENTS WRITE
Editor of Plainsman
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Alabama
In two weeks a brand-new
bunch of Auburn Tigers will op­en
the 1944 football season.
Theirs is an opportunity for great
things—things of which Auburn
will be proud. It is also an oppor­tunity
to make an all-important
choice.
The must decide whether or not
they want to follow in the foot­steps
of former Auburn teams.
These teams of the past have
always played the hardest sched­ules
in the nation year in and
year out. They have won some
and they have lost some, but Au­burn's
names lies not in the
scores but in the men on the
field and how they played.
It is said that Coach Wally
Butts of the University of Geor­gia
remarked after a well-remem­bered
Auburn-Georgia game of
'42 tha if Georgia's student body
supported its team like Auburn's
does that he would never lose a
game. This feeling pf Auburn's
student body for its team is the
result of a genuine respect and
has been built up through the
years.
A nationally known sports col-numnist
wrote about an Auburn
team with which he travelled en
route to a game, and the thing
which struck him most was the
fact that the team was clean-shaved,
wore ties to the diner and
said a blessing before the meal!
He said that this was a new ex­perience
to him .for here were
gentlemen rather than a gang of
toughs.
We believe that the men of '44
team will carry on these tradi­tions,
and that the student body
will 'be behind them.

unprecedented demands for telephone communi­cation.
Never before in the country's history has there
been so much evidence of the indispensable part
telephone service plays in the life of the nation.
It makes a direet contribution to the effectiveness
of every part of the war effort.
The sense of responsibility which telephone
people call the "spirit of service" is in this war
the "spirit of victory." The men and women of the

Phi Kappa Tau Smoker •
Given Tuesday Night
Members of Phi Kappa Tau fra­ternity
entertained guests last
Tuesday night with a smoker.
The program, following formal
introductions, consisted of songs,
history of the fraternity and a
tour of the house.
The climax of the program lit­erally
shook the walls as all of
the men present joined in the
competition for prize as best "hog
caller". To end the evening, Mrs.
Powell, PKT housemother, served
punch and cookies.
Guests were Jock Riley, John
West, James Scott, Henry Rob­erts,
Kent Van Cleave, Broyr
Walquest, James Stearns, Harvey
Sanders, Lewis Bullington, Oar
Partidge, William Lawshe, and
A. E. Petty.
"Tau Tavern" Serves
ATO and Alpha Gams
On Thursday Night
Changing their house into "Tau
Tavern", complete with juke box,
candlelight, checked tablecloths
and a bar, the ATOs feted their
rushees and the Alpha Gams last
Thursday night.
As in any high-toned tavern the
walls were plastered with signs
telling the guests what not to do.
The program consisted of a lot­tery
conducted by Jimmy Mills,
from which several unsuspecting
guests drew amusing surprises.
The honky-tonk atmosphere,
with dancing and refreshments,
was maintained throughout the
evening.

Junior AVMA
Meeting Addressed
By Dr. B. T. Simms
Dr. B. T. Simms, president-elect
of National AVMA, addressed the
first Fall meeting of the Jr.
AVMA held last Tuesday night.
His topic was "The Organization
of the Veterinary Profession".
First pointing out that the vet­erinary
profession represents ap­proximately
14,000 graduate vet­erinarians
and is the smallest ot
the skilled professions he explain­ed
the need and organization of
the legal phrase of the profession.
By dividing the profession into its
four constituent groups according
to the relative number of veteri­narians
employed; namely, pri­vate
practitioners, Federally em­ployed,
state employed and com­mercially
employed, he stated, "it
became necessary to set up tews
and regulations to protect the
livestock industry and the veteri­nary
profession.
"State Livestock Sanitary
Boards, organized in most states
of representatives from each
branch of the livestock industry,
have made the most successful
forward step toward efficient san­itary
regulation and coordination
with the veterinary profession.
"The greatest short-coming in
the veterinary organization today
is the political 'spoils' system em­ployed
in some states .to select
regulatory heads, thereby necessi­tating
a change in methods be­fore
their value can be demon­strated.
"The veterinary professions is
to be commended for its broad
view of the governmentally con
trolled activities within the pro
fession and this view has enabled
it to progess unhindered."
Dr. Simms especially stressed
that "the laws and regulations
were directed at safeguarding the
lives and health of the livestock
industry and not merely the vet­erinarians".
After the address a short busi­ness
meeting was held, at which
time it was decided that for the
remainder of this quarter the reg­ular
meetings of the AVMA
would be held every second Tues­day
night instead of every Tues­day
as in the past.
She was wearing a bright-col­ored

Way Back There When .
Pa jama Parade, Graves Center
by Frank Charlton
Let's pretend we are back in 1941; it is before the war. The
enrollment of API is approximately three thousand boys and
one thousand girls. There is no shortage of gas, and beer and
cigarettes are plentiful. Fort Benning is filled with profes­sional
soldiers and a college boy can date a coed less than
four weeks hence.
It is Saturday night and we
walk over to the "zoo' in a brand
new tux, hurrying because we
are late. After the girl behind
the desk has called our date the
fourth time we wonder what the
devil is keeping her—she doesn't
wear that many clothes! Final­ly
she comes out and while she is
signing form No. 6148w we are
trying to tell her how pretty she
looks, hoping to be forgiven for
the fib.
The orchestra strikes up a num­ber
and we fumble for our bid as
Helen Johnson starts singing, ac­companied
by the one and only
Auburn Knights. The hall at
Graves Center is decorated lav­ishly
and in the center is the fa­miliar
silver ball.
Scene two sees us in our paja­mas
joining the end of the parade
led by the great Auburn band
with brass horns and following it
on to the stadium It is the night
of the annual pajama parade-
After yelling ourselves hoarse at
the pep rally and going into
spasms as the band strikes out
with the TIGER RAG, a solemn
note is struck with the Alma Ma­ter,
and, brother did we sing!
On breaking up, four more boys
ask us to go to Opelika with them,
so, pajamas and all, we head for
the corner. We arrive to see
about thirty-five boys catch off
on a truck and find ourselves
numbers 37 and up.
When the Tiger Bus stops to
pick up paying passengers we
climb up to the baggage rack. We
have a nice ride—for 3.5 miles
when the mean old driver makes
us get off. It is a peculiar feeling
to be hitch-hiking in night cloth­es
on a public highway at nine p.
m.
Soon an infantry lieutenant
(as scarce in those days as steaks
are now) picks us up, confident
that we are Auburn men. He is
an Auburn grad, so he takes us
right up to the carnival. We walk
through the gate and find the oth­er
thirty-five in the girl show.
After riding the ferris wheel and
going through a side-show or two
the carnival closes to prevent the
losing of any more money.
Upon hitting town (Opelika)
one of the boys brings a quarter
out of his shoe, so we retire to the
Tiger Sandwich Shop for refresh­ments
Before we reach the rail­road
track a Kelly Cab picks us
up and brings us to Auburn, "on
the house". With one last WAR
EAGLE reverberating down the
streets we call it a night and re­tire
to the nearest bull session.
The next Friday afternoon sees
us down on the corner again, this
time conventionly clothed, as
number 43. In less than two
hours we are riding to Birming­ham.
Saturday morning the Mag­ic
City stops and looks, as a pa­rade
of cars decorated in orange
and blue halts and three boys and
two girls dressed in orange and
blue lead a huge crowd to th*
tune of "Eat 'em up Tiger", A-U-
—B-U- Rrrrrrr-N, and the in­evitable
WAR EAGLE. After the
game, the town is turned over to
the students. Chaos reigns.
Those, kiddies, are to what the
older students refer as "The good
old days", the days when a re­turning
victorious football team
was met at the station by half of
Auburn and a returning defeated
team was met at the station by
ALL of Auburn.

LETTER
Friday, Sept. 8, 1944
South Pacific
Editor, The Plainsman,
Auburn, Ala., U.S.A.
I have seen many odd and un­usual
things out here, but never
thought I would see a "Plains­man".
There are three of us here, that
is, three former Auburn students.
Lt. Louis Chateau received the
paper, then passed it on to Pfc.
Willis F. Cook, who then oblig­ingly
gave it to me.
They say, who "they" is, I have
no earthly idea, but to continue,
that criticism is helpful, so I'll say
my say, such as it is. It seemed to
us that there was an awful lot of
advertising, but we realize the
hardships of war are upon our
loved ones, so we passed the idea
on.
I sure am sorry to hear about
the lack of the old Auburn spirit.
I guess the old crowd took it with
'em. Y'all should get freshmen
hot on the job and do something
about it.
I'd like to offer my condolences
to the poor dejected fellow whose
feelings were so cruelly hurt
when the dance was rained out
(Plainsman, August 15, '44). Tell
him things were bad in Russia
once, too.
Well, I reckon that's all. Just
thought I'd drop a line.
Sincerely,
S. A. BROWN, Jr.

Tiger Line Undecided;
Backfield Looks Good
Billy Ball, Chuck Sanders, Ross McKeivey
May Be Auburn's Backfield Stars
by Ted Bryson
With a couple of weeks of' hard work behind them,. the
Auburn Tigers are now preparing to meet Howard on Sept.
29. The actuality of having all new and inexperienced ma­terial,
with the exception of co-captains Curtis Kuykendall
and Tex Warrington, has only meant one thing; and that is
work. Work it has been as Head Coach Carl Voyles has seen

SATURDAY CLASSES
EXCUSED FOR FOUR
FOOTBALL GAMES
The Executive Council has an­nounced
that students will be ex­cused
from Saturday classes for
four football games this Fall
Quarter. The dates, games and
locations are:
Sept. 29—Howard in Montgom­ery.
Oct. 14—Ga. Tech in Atlanta.
NOT. 11—Miss. State in Bir­mingham.
Nov. 18—Georgia in Columbus.
to that.
heat of the summer and the so far
alternating heat and rain of the
fall, the Tigers have really been
"on the ball".
Due to the natural shifting
about of a new team, there is no
way of telling just who is what.
Nevertheless the backfield has
shaped up much more rapidly
than the line. Running tailback
Billy Ball is a bright spot in the
•backfield as witnessed in last Sat­urday's
game, when he got loose
for a 45 yard run to score.
Then there is blocking back,
Chuck Sanders, who is one of the
few men of the team who can
really throw a block. Ross McKei­vey,
wing back from Toronto, On­tario,
who has never hit a lick
of football until he came here,
looks very good on the defense;
but his'offensive playing, which
is to be expected, is not so good.
The Tiger line is being built
entirely around co-captain Tex
Warrington, 200 pound center
from William and Mary, who has
been recently discharged from the
armed services. The rest of the
line's main prospects seem to be
Ben Moss, M. C. Garner, Denvard
Snell, Max Autry, Arnold Silver-berg,
John Wood, and Paul Her-ron.
i n last Saturday's game the line
opened some holes big enough for
Patton's tanks; but others, not so
good. All we can do is just wait
and see.
So, football fans, this has been,
more or less, a summing up of
what we have and what we
should expect. Therefore quite a
few "war eagles" and a bit of
that mighty Auburn Spirit shall
be needed. Remember, we did it
in '42!
Team Takes Shape
As Season Opens
by Bill Pierce
With less than two weeks re­maining
before coming to grips
with Howard in the season opener
in Montgomery, Coach Voyles
and his staff of assistants are rap­idly
getting a line on each indi­vidual
player, his special abilities
and weaknesses and deciding
when and where he can best fit
into the Tiger system of play.
Working together, on what may
be called the first string, last
week in the practice sessions and
in the regulation game Saturday
were Trapani and Harwell, ends;
Wozniak and Stringer, tackles;
Dupuy and Hoffman, guards; and
Warrington at the pivot spot.
In the backfield Saunders, Ball,
Hawkins and Inman were run­ning
together. Probably the most
pleasant surprise so far has Seen
the brilliant playing of dynamic
little Billy Ball from Winston-
Salem, N. C.
Apparently there will be a fight
for each spot on the starting
eleven with the possible excep­tion
of center where big Tex War­rington
seems to be safely nestled
in the No. 1 spot.
The team will hardly measure
up to the standards of the bone-crushing
machines of recent years
but what is lacking in experience
and weight will be made up for
in aggressiveness and speed.
To put it in the lingo of Fred
Turbyville, who is an old-timer in
the football world, "Auburn has
the makings of a very fine team;
it will be interesting to watch
their development during the sea­son."
Fred is recognized in the
East as one of football's most keen
observers.
One thing is sure, football is
back, and when that famous Au­burn
Band strikes up "Glory to
Ole Auburn," just watch that Au­burn
spirit swell up in Auburn
men everywhere and listen to
those War Eagles echo throughout
the South.

Municipal Election
In the municipal election for
the City of Auburn, held last
Monday Mr. G. H. Wright was
chosen Mayor.
The five councilmen elected
were Mr. A. X. Meadows, W. L.
Long, Emil F. Wright, George M.
Bayne, and J. C. Grimes.
AROUND THE INTRAMURAL BOARD
Members of the IM board met this week to draw up the
schedule for the Interfraternity touch football leagues. Play
will get underway next Tuesday. Wiley Bird was elected IM
representative to the IF council. Bird is a member of OTS
and has been quite active in intramural sports. A better man
couldn't have been chosen for the job. Council Sapp, retiring
representative, has done well in that capacity through tihe
summer quarter.
Each team furnishes one official for the tournament. The
official's failure to be present at the game he is to referee
will cause his team to forfeit its next game or pay a fine of
five dollars. No other intramural sports will be undertaken
this quarter.
TIGER COACHING STAFF FACES BUSY WEEK
With Auburn's opening game only a little more than a
off, Head Coach' "Dutch" Voyles along with Coaches "Shorty"
Propst, "Swede" Umbach, "Here" Alley, Bob Evans, and Wil­bur
Hutsell are going to be driving themselves as well as their
charges in polishing off the rough edges of Auburn's initial
squad since 1942. Voyles and his staff are firm believers in
discipline, as can be verified by any member of the squad.
Coach Alley the most recent addition to the staff, is a very
capable coach handling the backfield material.
Voyle's won't commit himself about the probable outcome
this fall, but Auburn students are beginning to place their
money again on the Tiger's nose.

RESEARCH AMD ENGINEERING KEEP GENERAL ELECTRIC YEARS AHEAD-DEATH
MAY FOR GERMS
MANY germs use air invasion tac­tics.
They float through the air
on dust particles until they reach a
potential victim. And then they attack.
A sneeze or a cough in a crowded class­room
may start a veritable epidemic
of colds, measles, or some other con­tagious
disease.
Now a new ultra-violet lamp, the
General Electric germicidal lamp,
promises relief to harassed school teach­ers,
and death to many air borne germs.
The lamp looks like an ordinary fluores­cent
lamp. However, it produces germi­cidal
rays instead of light rays. A spe­cial
glass permits the passage of the
germicidal energy produced by electric
current passing through mercury vapor.
While complete freedom from com­municable
diseases isn't likely to result
from the use of these lamps, they will
help. During a recent epidemic only
one out of eight children in a class­room
where germicidal units were in­stalled
contracted the disease as com­pared
to over half in the unprotected
rooms. General Electric Co., Schenectady,
