REPRESENTS WSSF STUDENTS FILL BLOOD BANK QUOTA Volunteers have topped the student quota of blood donors, and no more will be taken, Mary Nell Chiles, chairman of the student drive, announced Monday. "It was wonderful," she said. "Everyone seemed ready and willing to donate and to help us in any way they could." The Red Cross Blood Bank's two-day visit will begin Wednesday, October 25. Housed in Westminster House, next door to the Presbyterian Church on Gay Street, donors will be scheduled for appointments from 7 to 11 both Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Appointment cards will be mailed late this week and early next week. Keeping appointments on time is vitally necessary if Auburn is to make her quota. Tapped for Oracles, honorary freshman society, in Convocation Thursday, were Ruth Estis, Wynn Hall, Joyce Levin, Ann Orlander, Sara Strain. Miss Marian M. Shanley. traveling secretary of lhe World Student Service Fund, will be in Auburn Monday, Oct. 23 at 8 p. m. in Westminister House to meet members of organizations who are planning the WSSF drive on the campus for the week of Nov. 6. The World Student Service Fund provides books and study materials for interned students and prisoners of war. It furnsh-es work relief, food, clothing, medical supplies, books, etc., to refugee and uprooted students. Community Chest And War Chest Drive Wednesday With their goal fixed on collecting a $500 War Chest quota in a single day, Auburn students will be given an opportunity at the polls Wednesday to donate to both Community and war relief funds. Among the many worthy causes are Greek, Russians, and Chinese war relief, crippled childrens' fund, cancer control, and other relief activities. Bill Randolph, chairman of the Executive Cabinet drive committee reports that boxes to receive donations will be placed in Student Center and on Vet Hill at polls. A committee member will be in charge of each box. In order to top the quota the entire student body is urged to donate to this drive. Since neither individual houses nor classes will be canvassed dur. ing the campaign every student will be expected to donate at the polls. CHAIRMEN CHOOSEN FOR COMMITTEES BY NEW CABINET Meeting yesterday in Samford 208, the Executive Cabinet heard a report from Carl Sellers, last year's chairman of the Ring Committee. New chairmen and committees elected were the Rat Cap Committee, Al Lowe, chairman; In-V vitations Committee, Dennard Davis, chairman; Drives Committee, Bill Randolph, chairman; Organizations Committee, Malcolm Dykes, chairman. Bobby Humphrey had already been chosen chairman of '45 Ring Committee, and Bill Crum, chairman of the elections committee. The members of the elections committee were announced. They are Henry Steindorff, Fielding Lindsay, Josephine Bass, and Al Lowe. Sellars' report stated that of the 104 class rings sold Griffiths sold 11, Ashley sold 45, Cottle sold 10 and Kelly 15. The $4.50 commission on each ring, cut from profit of $7.50 three years ago, is expected to be cut still more the coming year, due -to the newly ratified constitution of the Cabinet. General Election For Miss Auburn To Be Tomorrow The election of Miss Auburn, sponsored by the Executive Cabinet, will be held Wednesday. The "lady of the plains" will be selected by general vote. Only two contestants turned in nominations to Bill Crum chairman of the elections committee by last Sunday, thus becoming the only two to run. The requirements for a coed to be nominated were that she must be enrolled as a student at API and that she could not be a freshman. Sis Glenn, senior in Education from Opelika and a member of Alpha Delta Pi and Cardinal Key will run. Doris Brown, her opponent for the honor, is a sophomore in the School of Pharmacy. She is a member of Kappa Delta from Florence. There will be two ballot boxes, one on Vet Hill and one at Student Center. Students will not be allowed to vote without their activity books. Any student with his activity book, may vote. All are asked to observe the election rules printed below. 1. Any means of campaigning by the candidates or their supporters other than by personal approach renders the candidate ineligible. No candidate may distribute free merchandise, or have distributed circulars, cards, or other printed matter in behalf of her election. 2. Anyone found guilty of unfair practices at the polls shall have his voting privileges removed. The position of Miss Auburn is not altogether honorary as are many of the other so-called beauty offices. For example, the girl elected to serve as Miss Auburn is the one whom the winner of the Cake Race kises as his reward, and she might be called upon for other campus duties throughout the year. IRC meets Monday at 7 o'clock in New Building 108. Students interested in discussion of world affairs and topics of the times are invited to come. SPIRIT SAME SENIOR SAYS Dear Football Team: Proud—that's the first word we want you to see. So darn proud of you that we can never express in these few lines just exactly the extent of our feelings. When Auburn decided to add its name once more to the SEC as a football power, the students, alumni, and faculty just asked for a team that would get in there and fight. That's all they felt they had a right to ask for— a fighting team. However, 'they underestimated two things. They under-estimated the coaching staff and the spirit and ability of you 1944 Tigers. They were more than mildly surprised when you cleaned the greens of Howard and the Fourth Infantry. You were doped to lose both games. Saturday you were supposed to roll over and play dead when the Yellow Jackets swarmed on the field, as our good friend Ed Danforth put it. The only ones we saw rolilng over and playing dead however, were the Crackers who gave Auburn and 30 points. You were just asked to put up a good fight. For Gosh Sake! They didn't expect you to go up there and whip the U. S. Navy! Which, actually, you did. How you gave and took what you did Saturday on Grant Field we'll probably never know. They said in the Cracker state that Auburn hadn't forgotten the Georgia game of '42. Right! We haven't forgotten. But what Georgia has forgotten is that we're not remembering the result of the game so much as we are the spirit of the game. They tell us in Sunday School that a lot of things can be accomplished by the right spirit. We may not be the world's best Sunday School goers down here but we sure do believe in that spirit. - We don't have a "Million Dol lar Band" and we don't have a portion of the U. S. Fleet. But we believe we do have something that will stack up against either of these. The "Band" may be disbanded, and the Fleet may go under but that "Million Dollar Auburn Spirit" will live forever. Most Sincerely, Some Deeply Grateful Seniors P. S. We'll be yelling and listening next Saturday. Twelve Coeds Named Contestants For Title Of Miss Homecoming Vying for the title of Miss Homecoming Thursday night, twelve Auburn girls will parade before the judges in Langdon Hall at 7:30. , The girls will wear formals, and the lucky lady will be chosen as music is furnished by "Zombie" Lauderdale and his Auburn Collegiates. Everyone is invited to attend the attraction, sponsored by Blue Key. Constestants and their sponsors are Martha Batson, Birmingham, Dorm IV; Betty Beall, West Point, Ga., Alpha Delta Pi; Vam Cardwell, Evergreen, Dorm III; and Helen Edmundson, Anniston, Pi Kappa Phi house.

NEW YORK, N. Y. CHICAGO * BOSTON * LOS AHOILIS - SAN FRANCISCO Letter From France 25 September '44 Southern France My dear Miss Olivia, No doubt, you have been reading all about the Seventh Army's invasion of Southern France. D-Day for us was August 15—an unforgettable experience for me, though not quite so bad as I had expected. It was interesting to note the perfect coordination between the army, navy and air—all of which played important roles. Of course, we had a few air raids at first, but we have a decided superiority over the Luftwaffe. Shortly after arrival on land, I saw two German generals, which was a unique treat for me; as expected, they are very proud and distinguished looking. France is simply beautiful. . . mountains and valleys and lakes. It reminds one of a Hollywood production. The French people are most hospitable, willing and wanting to do all they can for you. My knowledge of French is extremely limited, but usually I can get the gist of their conversation. Occasionally, one meets a former American; in fact. I met this lady from Michigan the third day after landing. Naturally, she wanted to know all about conditions in the States, and anxiously awaits the opportunity to return. We are now experiencing the rainy season, which isn't too good. Fortunately, though, at present we are comfortably situated. No doubt, in a few weeks, we'll have snow. Frequently, I see someone I knew at Auburn—namely, a L t Adams, who taught me ROTC and a Dr. Davis of the History Department, who is now with the Historical Section of this Headquarters. From all reports, Auburn is strictly a woman's college now. As you say, practically all of the men are in some phase of this war. We all look forward to the day when we can resume our places there, j Regards and best wishes, Johnston Editor's note: This letter was received by Miss Olivia Armstrong from John Marvin Johnston, former student and secretary to Dr. J. V. Brown. Another Lett er October 11, 1943 The Auburn Plainsman Alabama Polytechnic Institute Auburn, Alabama Every time I read the Plainsman, I have a sudden urge to write and tell you how we miss ole A.P.I. This time, with the Au-burn- Tulane game coming up this next week, I couldn't resist. So bear with me. There are about six of us here at Tulane now who have graduated from Auburn, and, believe me, these Louisiana men are really giving us heck . . . . you see, every since the football schedules came out, we've been making big plans concerning the Auburn game. They claim that our six loud "WAR EAGLES" will be completely smothered by yells for Tulane; so we want you to know, that even though outnumbered, we're going to put up a good fight. I see where the enrollment this quarter is the largest since the war began . . . I sincerely hope they all have, and continue to have, that AUBURN SPIRIT! That's one thing I don't believe any other school will ever equal. Those great pep rallies with loud and lustry WAR EAGLES, the Alama Mate making goose pimples pop out all over you, the cheery "hello" that everyone has for a stranger or friend, the BONG of the clock on Sam-ford (followed by a rush of couples to make the dorm on time), the sleepy rides back on the train from football games, the corners full of hitch-hikers on weekends . . . all those things, and thousands of others, make that great SPIRIT, and they're things you want to never forget. Well, we're getting our holidays pretty soon, and you can be assured that the Village of the Plains will be the main objective. Cpl. Howell Coe A.S.T.U. 3878 Tulane University New Orleans, La. Why Wednesday "Due to circumstances beyond our control—" they tell you. Or, "Well, it's not our fault—it's the war, you know." And so it goes with everything you do. You just accept the changes as inevitable because of the war and go on about your business. That's what you've had to do about the Plainsman, too. You've been mighty understanding— most of you—about our coming out late. That, too, has been a thing we couldn't help. For after the columnists and reporters have written their stories, after the editor has made up the pages and written the headlines, after the business staff has solicited the ads, the paper still has to be printed. This is the work of the shop; they do the job of turning our stories into print, our headlines into type, and our papers off the press. Without a shop, no paper could ever come out. Now shop workers can have jobs for the wanting. Since last spring we have been specially conscious of this, for our shop has been almost a complete turnover. This has meant that the men who knew our shortcuts are gone. Because they are not familiar with our ways of doing things, they have often had unnecessary delays. Then there has been the question of lino- type operators. Right now they are about the most precious thing we can think of— and if you don't agree, just talk to Mr. Baldwin who edits the Bulletin next door. Or better, try to get out a paper on time without one. And so we've been a Wednesday paper, not a Tuesday paper. But conditions are getting better now—and we hope they'll stay that way. We've been told that it won't be late again—that the Plainsman will be able to be on the street Tuesday night and we're just optimistic enough to believe that it will. Around The Editor's Desk Noticed, but not mentioned sooner: the lettering on the scoreboard in the stadium has been changed. At the time of the Ft. Benning game it was reprinted to read "Auburn, Visitors" instead of "Auburn, Clemson" as it had read for SO long. Truly a sign of the times, it was previously used only once a season, when we played Clemson, and that was Homecoming. * * * The Communty Chest and Alabama War Chest Drive next Wednesday should go over the top, as do most campaigns in Auburn. Funds collected at this time will go to help not only the local needy and community welfare, but for prisoners-of-war aid, USO and Merchant Seaman aid, help to allied nations, and for many other essential forms of relief. Trains aren't the only things that have have cow-catchers nowdays. Last week there was a truck in town with a hugh red contraption on it's front, apparently for the purpose. On Sunday afternoons and some nights during the week, the campus has been filled with the strains of music issuing from Langdon Hall. We think that this is one of the best forms of advertising that Zombie and his Collegiates can have, for we enjoy hearing them practice. We'd like to urge 'em to keep it up. * * * We sort-of missed on that headline last week. Could be "Tech Wrecks Tex (and others)". :£ J}J :p Last week we were criticized for criticizing the Boy Scouts, APhiO and ChiO for putting tin cans in the path across the vacant lot by Wrights Drug Store. We would like to suggest that these organizations, if they are going to collect tin cans, do something useful with them instead of letting them stay out in the open, exposed to the weather. We think it would be a sight more patriotic not to waste the gas and tires of the truck collecting cans than to let them rust there, after which the scrap cannot be easily reclaimed, we hear. EN PASSANT... By DOTTIE WOODALL By the time this comes out the Tech game will be over. Unlike Thornton and Laney, this columnist does not have access to any mechanical device designed to predict scores— so you'll know the out-come when you read this, and I wish I knew it now! Looks like a mass movement of Auburn students to the Georgia capital this week-end. And if you were among the number who went, and you think this print is crooked—then, don't ye know better than to over-do the "beeg week-end" idea? Or do you agree with that song that says, "You can never, ever over-do a good thing"? * * * That glow in your cheeks these last few days isn't love, m'dear, and that spring in your step doesn't mean that "oh-well- I-don't-need to cut out smocking after all look what good condition I'm in"—it's Autumn! And about time, too. Here it is practically the middle of October, and if those leaves hadn't started turning "red 'n yeller" when they did, we were going to be forced to go swimming at the Lake one last time again. And we would have absolutely frozen to death. * * * We had our column cut, censored, practically nipped in the bud last week. Do remind us, oh, gentle reader, to be more careful in the future. After all, everyone agrees that certain personages, institutions—especially this institution—, and traditions are scared, not to be defiled by mention in any but the most reverential tone. * * * And so now we have come once more to the time of choosing the beauties! Beauty, that elusive quality which is its own excuse for being! And we have a new method of determining which of our fair shall grace the pages of the proposed 1945 Glomerata—oh, please, Mr. Spivey, forgive us that adjective, but you've got to prove it to us, ya know. No longer will a board of "experts" judge from the height of their years of experience as our lovliest lasses pass in review. The men Campus Cross-Country By SUSAN BROWN 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. "Schools of journalism will play a more and more important role in the future of American journalism," Dr. George H. Gallup, public opinion statistician, declared at the New York Press Association dinner for the Syracuse University School of Journalism in New York. * * * Because freshmen at Stevens Institute of Technology, an all men's school, didn't have the right attitude the upperclassmen banded together and put on a "depantsing" campaign. To proclaim their victory the forty or more pairs of pants were knotted together and unfurled from the flagpole atop one of the buildings. * * * At L.S.U.—Two ASTRPs discussing a blind date: "What sort of hamburger is she?' "Good looking." "Blonde or brunette?" "Brunette, unfortunately." * • • In opinion polls taken at Duke, L.S.U., Tulane, University of Georgia, and slightly more removed schools, on the one year peace draft after the war servicemen invariably were in favor of it, civilian students invariably opposed. Usually coincidence, or is it? » * * At Duke coyness and/or revenge are out this year. New ruling is that a campus will be given to any gal who is late for a date. It's a man's world. • » * From the University of Detroit Varsity News, a challenge to sophomores in the realm of hazing. Crossing off the reasons of "being a freshman" and that freshmen are "naive" and "dumb", the writer attributes hazing to the sadism latent in most of us. The sophomore says, "But its all in good clean fun. We had to endure it. It's a national custom." "It is something like giving a person a hotfoot", the writer answers. "This may be 'good clean fun', but when it is analyzed, it is nothing but a restrained form of torture." * * • A plan for grading professors has been set forth in the American Association of University Professors bulletin. The article was written by Edward C. Mc- Donagh, associate professor of sociology at Southern Illinois Normal university. Students would evaluate the professor for each course in much the same manner that students are graded, keeping in mind such criteria as the method of presenting the course, organization of class materials, humor, fairness, and those adapted to the needs of specific courses. McDonagh contemplates of probable efforts of plan as: improved quality of teaching, eliminating indirect expression of disapproval of a professor's work by avoiding his classes and spreading disfavor of him to fellow students. It would affort recognition to professors of superior teaching ability, raising teaching as a university service in relation to other academic work.

After working furiously for the last two or three days, the machine selected the winners of the cake race—all 30 of them. At the present time we can't publish the list but we do promise to publish it the first issue after the race is over. You see if it were published now every non-winner would refuse to take part in the race, thus depriving the students of going out to cheer for their entires even though they really won't have a chance. We can let out just a little information on the winners though. The Lanthorn machine says that they will all be first year male freshmen enrolled at Auburn.

I TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 THE P L A I N S M AN Page Three All This, And A Mystery, Too, Proves That Y Hut Has Seen Exciting Days Building Has Housed Everything From "Macbeth" To Confederate Wounded By Mimi Simms Looking for the ideal setting for your ghost story? You couldn't beat the "Y" Hut for history, atmosphere, and—it even has a mystery. Besides the near magic of the disappearing lathes, benches, saws, and other shop equipment, the Hut can boast of having staged such weird goings-on as Macbeth. (In case you (have wondered just where all the equipment does go, it is stacked up to the ceiling and covered with black curtains. Those black curtains also hide the electricians.) But that is not the most interesting part of the Y Hut's history, for it has not led one life, but six! It began as the first Presbyterian Church, and was probably build by slave labor in the 1850s. Wooden pegs still hold much of the building together, and can be seen in the rafters over the stage. The present stage hides the first DINE IN A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE You'll like our courteous help and pleasant surroundings. STEAKS CHICKEN SEAFOOD Auburn Grille altar, which is still intact. The steeple, which was the pride of church members when it was new, began leaning toward College Street as it grew older. Fear that it might unexpectedly fall on a passerby brought it down peacefully. Wounded Confederate soldiers used the church as a hospital, but after the Civil War it again became a church. Here's The Mystery The mystery occured shortly before the World War, when someone broke into the cornerstone and robbed it. No one knows what was taken that was of any value,-and since the thief was never caught, the speculation still goes on. Soldiers in SATC during the last war used the building as a Young Men's Christian Association center, it having been abond-ed as a church. For The Kiddies Next step in its varied career came when it was turned over to a lady in town for a kindergarten. It was not from the men's occupation of the building, but from the Young Women's Christian Association's sojourn that the Hut took its present name. During the time of the YWCA, the Auburn Players were performing on the fourth floor of Samford, right underneath the clock. Conditions were hard on the audience, and. even worse on the Players. So arrangments were made to share the Y Hut. They Kicked Too Hard Some vandalous young men who were exploring the attic one evening accidently kicked out the ceiling over the stage, great- Tennis Club's Tourney Begins Play Next Week, Prexy Braswell Says With plans already underway for the first girls' tennis tournament this quarter, the Tennis Club found at its organizing meeting last week that it has more than eighty members. Officers elected at the time ^are Elaine Braswell, president; Martha Waldon, chairman of instruction; Mildred Cook, chairman of tournaments; Jeanette Ellis, social chairman; Jackie Swann, historian; and Jane Dowdy, secretary. Miss Ruth Reid is faculty advisor. Drawings for the scheduled tournament will be held the later part of the week, and actual play will probably begin Monday, Elaine said. Members will not only be encouraged in tournament play, but will also be given instruction from more experienced players. Beginners are as welcome as experts, and all girls are invited to sign up for membership in the PE office. ly improving both acoustics and the heating of the place. The Players took over entirely in the early 1930s. One of their biggest problems was heat. The Hut had a huge, black, pot-bellied stove, which would get red hot, but the actors had no way to get coal except to borrow it from the pile next door. To The Hut and Back When the Players first inherited the Hut, they staged their plays there. Students demanded that they move to Langdon, not realizing that the facilities for producing a play in the Hut were much better. About two years ago, the troupe again began staging plays there. Even now the building leads more than one life, for it does the work of a classroom, a workshop, a rehearsal room, and an auditorium for final productions. Storage cupboards have been built up to the ceilings in two of the corners. In the back the sewing machine folds into the wall. Even the floor is different; it is slightly higher in the middle, sagging toward the walls.

There is also a way to climb in from the tower, and two doors under the stage. These last are the most intriguing, for though they have been bricked up, there is still a way for those who know how to get in. Pictures on the wall show productions as far back as 1937. The ax and golden cockerel above the stage were in the first spring festival which Telfair Peet, director of the Players, produced. Between acts at this quarter's play, "Out Of The Frying Pan," you might take a look at the Hut; it's worth a look or two—and you'll discover it's quite fascinating. BuggsTailor's Goldbricking Pays Off With Gold Bars Former Plainsman Editor Tells Of Guardhouse Days By Buggs Tailor I have just received my LIEUTENANT'S BARS, and am now qualified to tell you how it is done. I have always held the theory that a second louie could live an easier life than a private. So when I volunteered for the Army, I told them I'd be a shavetail or else-^-So they gave me my choice, and let me be a private. I was sent to an induction center in Atlanta to be sworn in. There I got some Army shots and some Army tests. The idea is that if you don't fall out when you get your shots and you don't flunk your tests, you will be immediately sent to the infantry. If you do, you have the same alternative. After letting me take it easy in the Army for a while, they sent me back to Auburn to graduate. Then I was ordered to Ft. Sill to an officer pool. This is an easy life; all day we rode in jeeps, and all night we rode in convertibles— what am I saying! - Up6n arriving at the pool, I took my sergeant aside and told him that we would be big buddies, and that I would overlook the fact that he was not a college man. After serving several months on KP, I finally got another look at the outside world. On To Infantry I was on a train looking out. It seems that the Army had decided that my talent lay not in my handling of guns, but in the way I walked. I failed to convince them that if I had really been able to walk, I would have won the Cake Race. When they let me off the train, representative told me we would I was in Ft. Benning. An Armyl b e t a k t o 8 b a s i c training soon, Li. William Buggs Tailor, recent graduate from OCS, is an Auburn graduate. He was famous at API for his ability in extracting high grades from his teachers. In an exclusive Plans-man interview, he reveals his secret how - to - be-a-shave-tail. like-I-am technique. This, as you no doubt halve heard, is tough. I didn't mind the ten days with only one can of water; I didn't rhlnd the ten hifle walks — double time — we took every day, or the blisters I got; I didn't mind the sergeant's constant nagging at me; but what really got me down Was having to retire at 9 p. m.—while the evening was yet in its infancy. Why, back here in Auburn at 9 I was just getting—but that's another story. Sarge Gives Up After three months of basic training, I wore the sergeant completely out, and he graduated me so he could recuperate in peace. Next move in my stragetic sup-erplan was to go to OCS, and after the usual delays, I arrived-*— With my bars already on. ThiSj I found was a mistake. After that guardhouse, even OCS was nice. They gave us studying to do— but I found out that you can goldbrick just as well in the Army as you can at Auburn. Records When it was time to graduate, they couldn't find any bad marks on my record —- in fact, they couldn't find my record at all. Someone had swiped it the night before—I've been wondering how I got out of that room without waking myself up. So they put my name on the list, and the Colonel handed me a diploma the next day with the other boys. I've found out that these little bars mean you can get away with murder—and if you ever get in a tight, you can always hock them as pure gold.

"LIBRARIAN MARY, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW!" x By MARTHA LEE Even to those who know the head librarian only slightly it is apparent that one of Miss Mary Martin's chief interests is flowers. One is met on entering the library by the sight of numerous vases of flowers—eye-catching not only by their variety of types and colors, but by their unusual combinations and arrangments. Miss Martin usually comes in with a new vase or armful of bloosoms, or if she is not seen, it may be that she is in the garden, straightening a plant a little, pulling a dead bloosom here, gathering an armful of flowers there and then pausing on the way in again to stoop and pull a week which had passed her earlier inspections. Mrs. Thatch, wife of the president of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, was so interested in Miss Marin's having a garden that she sent her janitor over to dig Up the first plot. That first garden, with its pool, was laid out by the side of the old library, where the reading rooms were later build. "There were three miles of iris in curved rows about the library grounds before the building was done, "Miss Martin said. When the garden had to be moved, many of the iris plants were given away and the others were "banked" beside the fence. j "Some of the plants have quite a story behind them." Miss Martin said and began telling of their origin. "The Ginger, or Butterfly lilies were given by Professor Kirkley; Mrs. Wilmore gave the blue' lilies and the white cherry trees. The iris came from South Carolina, and I brought the dahlias from Colorada". The dahlias became distributed all over Auburn," she continued, "but I lost mine." Auburn's uncertain weather interferes very little with Miss Martin's gardening. In fact she said, "I like to work best when its pouring rain because things (Continued on Page 4) THIS L & N man is a specialist—selected because of his study and experience to render sound advice about cattle, other farm livestock and everyday problems of crop production and marketing.

PAGE FOUR THE PLAINSMAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 Dean Petrie Catches Coeds' Ears Af Convocation With Coaching Tales First Football Game With Gawjia Described Speaking before the entire coed population of API at Convocation last Thursday afternoon Dr. George Petrie told the story of Auburn's first varsity football game. • . The team was organized in 1892. Previous to that time one half of the college had played the other half on the lawn in front of the main building. Dean Petrie went, that year, to the University of Virginia to see Addison Greenway about the rules. "An old school friend of mine, he took me up to his room and showed me how the game was played and how to fall on the ball." Here at. that time there were 300 students, all boys. "What a firie opportunity it would have been for a few girls", Dean Petrie added. Versus Gawja . "Our first opponent was the University of Georgia, whom we played in Atlanta on the 20th of February. When I went to Athens to make arrangements with the manager of their team he asked . me if I would like to come out on the field and see them practice. I hesitated, feeling that it would be not quite ethical. However he insisted, and we went. Saw the prettiest interference I've ever seen. I came home with the Auburn blues." "Going to the game we had a special train of two cars, and the engine, of course. One" car was for the Auburn team and one was for the boys from Stark School in Montgomery. "In Atlanta when we reached the old Kimball House Georgia was yelling "Rah, Rah, Rah, Gawja!" Stirring the spirit of the Auburn team, the yell was returned with "Rah, Rah, Ree, Alabama AMC" (Auburn was then Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College). In Tally Ho "Just before the game what do "We see but a Tally Ho? Do you know what a Tally Ho is? . . . . the horse and buggy equivalent of a Rolls Royce . . . It was flaunting the Georgia colors in gay style. "When we got out to Grant Field it was raining. When the game was over that horse and Tally Ho looked just like one of you girls running across the campus in the rain except that it had on shoes." In spite of the weather an unprecedented crowd appeared at the game—2000 attended. In fact, this was such an amazing number that an article written about it by Dean Petrie was published in Harper's Weekly. "That was true, real rain, which got harder as the game went on," he said. The enthusiasm of the crowd was great. So great that one lady who lived where the library now stands beat the man sitting in front of her on the head with her umberella. "She was a fine lady, too," said Dr. Petrie. "One of the finest I've ever known". We Won "That rain helped us. The Georgian interference did not materialize in the mud. That was a real game. Not one substitution was made in either of the 45 minute halves. At the end the score was ten to nothing in Auburn's favor. "After the game, Georgia, I presume, went back in the Tally Ho. But to keep our boys from catching cold I walked them back to the hotel (three miles). Professor McKissick our center, was a young engineering teacher here. At that time the young instructors played with the team, and a finer thing there never was to increase good feeling between faculty and students. If you don't believe it ask Dean Hare in the chemistry department. He played on that team. Rush Rides "Prof. McKissick didn't like to walk and before I knew it a HMT (hug-me-tight) buggy came cruising by. Two drummers had squeezed him in between them and were trotting down the road, yelling their version of our cheer: "Rah, Rah, Ree, Alabama ABC". They had made the mistake of thinking this was a cultural college." (Continued on Page 5) LOST: Parker pen, black with white specks. If found please return to Charles O. Butler, 147 W.

The colored boy was their "rub-down" boy "And the third handsomest man," he said, "is me." "Notice that derby hat. I wore it that year and the next and the next. On and on, until the styles got far from its brim. Then I gave it to the colored boy. Now it's back in fashion again. "That night at the old Kimball House I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I fell in love with her. The jriext year, when she was seventeen, we were married." "Financing the team was more difficult than coaching it," he stated. "Being Presbyterian, however, I believed in predestination, and sure enough, things came out right in the end. In fact, there was a little money left over. Raises Cane "The team took the surplus fund and bought two gold-headed walking sticks to give to the other coach and me, but the president of the college got wind of it and called them up to tell them that it was a college rule that no student could make a present to a member of the faculty. So instead we both received a notice that there were two canes in the Treasurer's Office and if we wanted them we could go there and get them." He then held up the cane for the audience to see.

Page Six T H E P L A I N S M AN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 Tech Trips Tigers In Heartbreaker Auburn Leads In All But Score 1 —— TACKLES By Bill Pierce Before 20,000 enthusiastic fans in Atlanta, the Auburn Tigers rose to magnificent heights to outplay the highly-rated Ga. Tech Yellow Jackets only to be beaten by a passing attack that just wouldn't be stopped. A quick glance at the statistics of the game will explain why the game was so unusual.

Lost Penalties 30 35 The Tigers, as a whole, were equal to Tech, the difference was in the fact that Tech clicked in the -clutch and Auburn clicked until it got in the clutch. Ga. Tech is as good as any team on the Auburn schedule and by common deductions we can expect "the Tigers to make an excellent showing from here on in. Tech's first score came in the closing minutes of the_iirst half when Jim Dorough got behind the Auburn secondary and took a pass from Dinky Bowen good for 20 yards and a score. Bowen converted. The second maker came on the first play of the fourth period on a fake statue of liberty play. Broyles passed to glue-fingered Dorough who took it on the three yard line and fell over. Bowen missed the try for extra point. The third score came a few minutes later when Tex Ritter flipped a honey of a pass into the out-streached arms of, George Matthews. Bowen place-kicked perfectly and the score read 20-0 against the Tigers. Broyles passed to Murdoch just a few seconds before the final gun for the last six-pointer. Bowen converted and there was the ball game. The young Tigers took a lot at the finish. They were immens- BACKS Joe Wozniak, probably t he leading tackle on the -Tiger squad, is one yankee who does right by the South. He is from Shenandoah Heights, Pa. Russell Inman, former Birmingham prep star is adding lots to the Auburn backfield. He was a constant gainer against Tech. WAA Volleyball Tourney Ends Emerging from last week's WAA volleyball games as league winners, Delta Zeta, Alumni Hall, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Chi Omega will go on to determine the championship team in the semi-finals this week. None of the league winners were defeated. Delta Zeta and Alpha Gamma Delta had previously captured the championship of League I and HI, and did not play last week. Pi Kappa Phi girls defeated Susan Smith, 31-27 last Monday in League I. Alumni Hall won in League H by a forfeit from Phi Delta Theta girls. In League Ill's game, Pi Omega Phi bested the Alpha Delta Pi by only two points, winning 30-28. Chi Omega defeated Theta Upsilon, 42-30, winning League J/V championship. Dormitory I turned back Susan ly popular and certainly covered themselves with glory. The whole team was good and if there were any individual stars they were Sanders, Kuykendall, Wozniak, Warrington and Dupuy. Next week finds the Tigers battling the Navy-blessed Green Wave of Tulane down in New Orleans. Unfortunately the student body won't be able to go almost en masse as it did to Atlanta. The Auburn Spirit covered Atlanta like the "Journal Covers Dixie". Every one was gay in spite of the loss as is evidenced by the way they "floated" back. / don't use a Moose call.

TIGER TALES By CARL SELLARS AROUND THE INTRAMURAL BOARD The interfrat football season is over except for the most important part—the play off. We find the following teams fighting for championship: Alpha Psi, OTS, and PiKA. OTS play PiKA Wednesday at 4 p. m. Alpha Psi plays the looser of the PiKA-OTS game Friday at 4. Instructions have not been made yet for the finals. RESULTS OF LAST WEEKS GAMES Alpha Psi handed SAE a 6-0 defeat. OTS galloped over ATO, 26-6. PiKA scored over OTS second, 14-0. OTS bested SPE, 19-6. Kappa Sig over Delta Sig, 7-0. - * * * After the varsity game in Atlanta I think we almost forget the touch football. As everyone knows, Tech won the game by the score of 27-0.1 have heard quite a few folks say we would have won the game if it hadn't been for our fumbles. Tech fumbled. I have seen quite a few All-American's fumble. It's all in the game. It doesn't sound so good for an Auburn student to gripe about the way individuals played Saturday. Just sit tight and watch our boys take the remainder of their schedule. Outstanding Sophomore Girls Tapped By Owls Sixteen sophomore girls were tapped for Owls, honor society for second year coeds last week at convocation. They are Betty Grimes, Van Cardwell, Skippy Duchac, Vip Duncan, Carolyn Self, Virginia Williamson, and June Killian. Ann Bailey, Nancy Reinsmith, Marie Strong, Wyleen Hill, Nancy Black, Mary Roberts, Gerry Drake, Joyce Slaughter, and Mary Ann Vick. Smith with a score of 38-30 on Tuesday in League L Alumni Hall captured the League II champion, ship when it beat Sigma Nu girls, 40-13. Alpha Gamma Rho girls forfeited to Alpha Delta Pi in League III, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon girls defeated Delta Sim-ma Phi girls, 35-23. Pi Kappa Phi girls beat Dormi. tory I 29-26 in League I's Wednesday game. Phi Delta Theta girls won over Sigma Nu girls by a forfeit in League H. Forfeits also came to Pi Omega Phi from the Alpha Gamma Rho girls in League HI, and Theta Upsilon from Delta Sigma Phi girls in League IV. Each of the League champions will play the other three this week.

REPRESENTS WSSF STUDENTS FILL BLOOD BANK QUOTA Volunteers have topped the student quota of blood donors, and no more will be taken, Mary Nell Chiles, chairman of the student drive, announced Monday. "It was wonderful," she said. "Everyone seemed ready and willing to donate and to help us in any way they could." The Red Cross Blood Bank's two-day visit will begin Wednesday, October 25. Housed in Westminster House, next door to the Presbyterian Church on Gay Street, donors will be scheduled for appointments from 7 to 11 both Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Appointment cards will be mailed late this week and early next week. Keeping appointments on time is vitally necessary if Auburn is to make her quota. Tapped for Oracles, honorary freshman society, in Convocation Thursday, were Ruth Estis, Wynn Hall, Joyce Levin, Ann Orlander, Sara Strain. Miss Marian M. Shanley. traveling secretary of lhe World Student Service Fund, will be in Auburn Monday, Oct. 23 at 8 p. m. in Westminister House to meet members of organizations who are planning the WSSF drive on the campus for the week of Nov. 6. The World Student Service Fund provides books and study materials for interned students and prisoners of war. It furnsh-es work relief, food, clothing, medical supplies, books, etc., to refugee and uprooted students. Community Chest And War Chest Drive Wednesday With their goal fixed on collecting a $500 War Chest quota in a single day, Auburn students will be given an opportunity at the polls Wednesday to donate to both Community and war relief funds. Among the many worthy causes are Greek, Russians, and Chinese war relief, crippled childrens' fund, cancer control, and other relief activities. Bill Randolph, chairman of the Executive Cabinet drive committee reports that boxes to receive donations will be placed in Student Center and on Vet Hill at polls. A committee member will be in charge of each box. In order to top the quota the entire student body is urged to donate to this drive. Since neither individual houses nor classes will be canvassed dur. ing the campaign every student will be expected to donate at the polls. CHAIRMEN CHOOSEN FOR COMMITTEES BY NEW CABINET Meeting yesterday in Samford 208, the Executive Cabinet heard a report from Carl Sellers, last year's chairman of the Ring Committee. New chairmen and committees elected were the Rat Cap Committee, Al Lowe, chairman; In-V vitations Committee, Dennard Davis, chairman; Drives Committee, Bill Randolph, chairman; Organizations Committee, Malcolm Dykes, chairman. Bobby Humphrey had already been chosen chairman of '45 Ring Committee, and Bill Crum, chairman of the elections committee. The members of the elections committee were announced. They are Henry Steindorff, Fielding Lindsay, Josephine Bass, and Al Lowe. Sellars' report stated that of the 104 class rings sold Griffiths sold 11, Ashley sold 45, Cottle sold 10 and Kelly 15. The $4.50 commission on each ring, cut from profit of $7.50 three years ago, is expected to be cut still more the coming year, due -to the newly ratified constitution of the Cabinet. General Election For Miss Auburn To Be Tomorrow The election of Miss Auburn, sponsored by the Executive Cabinet, will be held Wednesday. The "lady of the plains" will be selected by general vote. Only two contestants turned in nominations to Bill Crum chairman of the elections committee by last Sunday, thus becoming the only two to run. The requirements for a coed to be nominated were that she must be enrolled as a student at API and that she could not be a freshman. Sis Glenn, senior in Education from Opelika and a member of Alpha Delta Pi and Cardinal Key will run. Doris Brown, her opponent for the honor, is a sophomore in the School of Pharmacy. She is a member of Kappa Delta from Florence. There will be two ballot boxes, one on Vet Hill and one at Student Center. Students will not be allowed to vote without their activity books. Any student with his activity book, may vote. All are asked to observe the election rules printed below. 1. Any means of campaigning by the candidates or their supporters other than by personal approach renders the candidate ineligible. No candidate may distribute free merchandise, or have distributed circulars, cards, or other printed matter in behalf of her election. 2. Anyone found guilty of unfair practices at the polls shall have his voting privileges removed. The position of Miss Auburn is not altogether honorary as are many of the other so-called beauty offices. For example, the girl elected to serve as Miss Auburn is the one whom the winner of the Cake Race kises as his reward, and she might be called upon for other campus duties throughout the year. IRC meets Monday at 7 o'clock in New Building 108. Students interested in discussion of world affairs and topics of the times are invited to come. SPIRIT SAME SENIOR SAYS Dear Football Team: Proud—that's the first word we want you to see. So darn proud of you that we can never express in these few lines just exactly the extent of our feelings. When Auburn decided to add its name once more to the SEC as a football power, the students, alumni, and faculty just asked for a team that would get in there and fight. That's all they felt they had a right to ask for— a fighting team. However, 'they underestimated two things. They under-estimated the coaching staff and the spirit and ability of you 1944 Tigers. They were more than mildly surprised when you cleaned the greens of Howard and the Fourth Infantry. You were doped to lose both games. Saturday you were supposed to roll over and play dead when the Yellow Jackets swarmed on the field, as our good friend Ed Danforth put it. The only ones we saw rolilng over and playing dead however, were the Crackers who gave Auburn and 30 points. You were just asked to put up a good fight. For Gosh Sake! They didn't expect you to go up there and whip the U. S. Navy! Which, actually, you did. How you gave and took what you did Saturday on Grant Field we'll probably never know. They said in the Cracker state that Auburn hadn't forgotten the Georgia game of '42. Right! We haven't forgotten. But what Georgia has forgotten is that we're not remembering the result of the game so much as we are the spirit of the game. They tell us in Sunday School that a lot of things can be accomplished by the right spirit. We may not be the world's best Sunday School goers down here but we sure do believe in that spirit. - We don't have a "Million Dol lar Band" and we don't have a portion of the U. S. Fleet. But we believe we do have something that will stack up against either of these. The "Band" may be disbanded, and the Fleet may go under but that "Million Dollar Auburn Spirit" will live forever. Most Sincerely, Some Deeply Grateful Seniors P. S. We'll be yelling and listening next Saturday. Twelve Coeds Named Contestants For Title Of Miss Homecoming Vying for the title of Miss Homecoming Thursday night, twelve Auburn girls will parade before the judges in Langdon Hall at 7:30. , The girls will wear formals, and the lucky lady will be chosen as music is furnished by "Zombie" Lauderdale and his Auburn Collegiates. Everyone is invited to attend the attraction, sponsored by Blue Key. Constestants and their sponsors are Martha Batson, Birmingham, Dorm IV; Betty Beall, West Point, Ga., Alpha Delta Pi; Vam Cardwell, Evergreen, Dorm III; and Helen Edmundson, Anniston, Pi Kappa Phi house. Jeanette Ellis, Jasper, Alpha Gamma Delta; Becky Fincher, Wedowee, Kappa Delta; Jean Gauntt, Jasper, Delta Zeta; and Sarah Hammond, Munford, Susan Smith Cottage. Elaine Hill, Memphis, Dorm I; Julia LeSueur, Roanoke, Chi Omega; Jessie Sahm, Birmingham, Phi Omega Pi; and Margaret Wyatt, Vincent, Theta Upsilon. NEW REGULATIONS ON CAMPUS TRAFFIC ARE ANNOUNCED From the standpoint of safety to everyone connected with the College, the Police Department and the College Administration have charged the Department of Buildings and Grounds with the enforcement of traffic regulations on the campus. Violation of the following traffic ordinance causes a traffic hazard and encourages other motorists to violate these ordinances.

Parking on wrong side of street. 3. Parking too close to street intersection. 4. Double parking. 5. Parking in driveway. 6. Parking too far from curb. 7. Parking in prohibited zones. 8. Speeding.

NEW YORK, N. Y. CHICAGO * BOSTON * LOS AHOILIS - SAN FRANCISCO Letter From France 25 September '44 Southern France My dear Miss Olivia, No doubt, you have been reading all about the Seventh Army's invasion of Southern France. D-Day for us was August 15—an unforgettable experience for me, though not quite so bad as I had expected. It was interesting to note the perfect coordination between the army, navy and air—all of which played important roles. Of course, we had a few air raids at first, but we have a decided superiority over the Luftwaffe. Shortly after arrival on land, I saw two German generals, which was a unique treat for me; as expected, they are very proud and distinguished looking. France is simply beautiful. . . mountains and valleys and lakes. It reminds one of a Hollywood production. The French people are most hospitable, willing and wanting to do all they can for you. My knowledge of French is extremely limited, but usually I can get the gist of their conversation. Occasionally, one meets a former American; in fact. I met this lady from Michigan the third day after landing. Naturally, she wanted to know all about conditions in the States, and anxiously awaits the opportunity to return. We are now experiencing the rainy season, which isn't too good. Fortunately, though, at present we are comfortably situated. No doubt, in a few weeks, we'll have snow. Frequently, I see someone I knew at Auburn—namely, a L t Adams, who taught me ROTC and a Dr. Davis of the History Department, who is now with the Historical Section of this Headquarters. From all reports, Auburn is strictly a woman's college now. As you say, practically all of the men are in some phase of this war. We all look forward to the day when we can resume our places there, j Regards and best wishes, Johnston Editor's note: This letter was received by Miss Olivia Armstrong from John Marvin Johnston, former student and secretary to Dr. J. V. Brown. Another Lett er October 11, 1943 The Auburn Plainsman Alabama Polytechnic Institute Auburn, Alabama Every time I read the Plainsman, I have a sudden urge to write and tell you how we miss ole A.P.I. This time, with the Au-burn- Tulane game coming up this next week, I couldn't resist. So bear with me. There are about six of us here at Tulane now who have graduated from Auburn, and, believe me, these Louisiana men are really giving us heck . . . . you see, every since the football schedules came out, we've been making big plans concerning the Auburn game. They claim that our six loud "WAR EAGLES" will be completely smothered by yells for Tulane; so we want you to know, that even though outnumbered, we're going to put up a good fight. I see where the enrollment this quarter is the largest since the war began . . . I sincerely hope they all have, and continue to have, that AUBURN SPIRIT! That's one thing I don't believe any other school will ever equal. Those great pep rallies with loud and lustry WAR EAGLES, the Alama Mate making goose pimples pop out all over you, the cheery "hello" that everyone has for a stranger or friend, the BONG of the clock on Sam-ford (followed by a rush of couples to make the dorm on time), the sleepy rides back on the train from football games, the corners full of hitch-hikers on weekends . . . all those things, and thousands of others, make that great SPIRIT, and they're things you want to never forget. Well, we're getting our holidays pretty soon, and you can be assured that the Village of the Plains will be the main objective. Cpl. Howell Coe A.S.T.U. 3878 Tulane University New Orleans, La. Why Wednesday "Due to circumstances beyond our control—" they tell you. Or, "Well, it's not our fault—it's the war, you know." And so it goes with everything you do. You just accept the changes as inevitable because of the war and go on about your business. That's what you've had to do about the Plainsman, too. You've been mighty understanding— most of you—about our coming out late. That, too, has been a thing we couldn't help. For after the columnists and reporters have written their stories, after the editor has made up the pages and written the headlines, after the business staff has solicited the ads, the paper still has to be printed. This is the work of the shop; they do the job of turning our stories into print, our headlines into type, and our papers off the press. Without a shop, no paper could ever come out. Now shop workers can have jobs for the wanting. Since last spring we have been specially conscious of this, for our shop has been almost a complete turnover. This has meant that the men who knew our shortcuts are gone. Because they are not familiar with our ways of doing things, they have often had unnecessary delays. Then there has been the question of lino- type operators. Right now they are about the most precious thing we can think of— and if you don't agree, just talk to Mr. Baldwin who edits the Bulletin next door. Or better, try to get out a paper on time without one. And so we've been a Wednesday paper, not a Tuesday paper. But conditions are getting better now—and we hope they'll stay that way. We've been told that it won't be late again—that the Plainsman will be able to be on the street Tuesday night and we're just optimistic enough to believe that it will. Around The Editor's Desk Noticed, but not mentioned sooner: the lettering on the scoreboard in the stadium has been changed. At the time of the Ft. Benning game it was reprinted to read "Auburn, Visitors" instead of "Auburn, Clemson" as it had read for SO long. Truly a sign of the times, it was previously used only once a season, when we played Clemson, and that was Homecoming. * * * The Communty Chest and Alabama War Chest Drive next Wednesday should go over the top, as do most campaigns in Auburn. Funds collected at this time will go to help not only the local needy and community welfare, but for prisoners-of-war aid, USO and Merchant Seaman aid, help to allied nations, and for many other essential forms of relief. Trains aren't the only things that have have cow-catchers nowdays. Last week there was a truck in town with a hugh red contraption on it's front, apparently for the purpose. On Sunday afternoons and some nights during the week, the campus has been filled with the strains of music issuing from Langdon Hall. We think that this is one of the best forms of advertising that Zombie and his Collegiates can have, for we enjoy hearing them practice. We'd like to urge 'em to keep it up. * * * We sort-of missed on that headline last week. Could be "Tech Wrecks Tex (and others)". :£ J}J :p Last week we were criticized for criticizing the Boy Scouts, APhiO and ChiO for putting tin cans in the path across the vacant lot by Wrights Drug Store. We would like to suggest that these organizations, if they are going to collect tin cans, do something useful with them instead of letting them stay out in the open, exposed to the weather. We think it would be a sight more patriotic not to waste the gas and tires of the truck collecting cans than to let them rust there, after which the scrap cannot be easily reclaimed, we hear. EN PASSANT... By DOTTIE WOODALL By the time this comes out the Tech game will be over. Unlike Thornton and Laney, this columnist does not have access to any mechanical device designed to predict scores— so you'll know the out-come when you read this, and I wish I knew it now! Looks like a mass movement of Auburn students to the Georgia capital this week-end. And if you were among the number who went, and you think this print is crooked—then, don't ye know better than to over-do the "beeg week-end" idea? Or do you agree with that song that says, "You can never, ever over-do a good thing"? * * * That glow in your cheeks these last few days isn't love, m'dear, and that spring in your step doesn't mean that "oh-well- I-don't-need to cut out smocking after all look what good condition I'm in"—it's Autumn! And about time, too. Here it is practically the middle of October, and if those leaves hadn't started turning "red 'n yeller" when they did, we were going to be forced to go swimming at the Lake one last time again. And we would have absolutely frozen to death. * * * We had our column cut, censored, practically nipped in the bud last week. Do remind us, oh, gentle reader, to be more careful in the future. After all, everyone agrees that certain personages, institutions—especially this institution—, and traditions are scared, not to be defiled by mention in any but the most reverential tone. * * * And so now we have come once more to the time of choosing the beauties! Beauty, that elusive quality which is its own excuse for being! And we have a new method of determining which of our fair shall grace the pages of the proposed 1945 Glomerata—oh, please, Mr. Spivey, forgive us that adjective, but you've got to prove it to us, ya know. No longer will a board of "experts" judge from the height of their years of experience as our lovliest lasses pass in review. The men Campus Cross-Country By SUSAN BROWN 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. "Schools of journalism will play a more and more important role in the future of American journalism," Dr. George H. Gallup, public opinion statistician, declared at the New York Press Association dinner for the Syracuse University School of Journalism in New York. * * * Because freshmen at Stevens Institute of Technology, an all men's school, didn't have the right attitude the upperclassmen banded together and put on a "depantsing" campaign.

"Brunette, unfortunately." * • • In opinion polls taken at Duke, L.S.U., Tulane, University of Georgia, and slightly more removed schools, on the one year peace draft after the war servicemen invariably were in favor of it, civilian students invariably opposed. Usually coincidence, or is it? » * * At Duke coyness and/or revenge are out this year. New ruling is that a campus will be given to any gal who is late for a date. It's a man's world. • » * From the University of Detroit Varsity News, a challenge to sophomores in the realm of hazing. Crossing off the reasons of "being a freshman" and that freshmen are "naive" and "dumb", the writer attributes hazing to the sadism latent in most of us. The sophomore says, "But its all in good clean fun. We had to endure it. It's a national custom." "It is something like giving a person a hotfoot", the writer answers. "This may be 'good clean fun', but when it is analyzed, it is nothing but a restrained form of torture." * * • A plan for grading professors has been set forth in the American Association of University Professors bulletin. The article was written by Edward C. Mc- Donagh, associate professor of sociology at Southern Illinois Normal university. Students would evaluate the professor for each course in much the same manner that students are graded, keeping in mind such criteria as the method of presenting the course, organization of class materials, humor, fairness, and those adapted to the needs of specific courses. McDonagh contemplates of probable efforts of plan as: improved quality of teaching, eliminating indirect expression of disapproval of a professor's work by avoiding his classes and spreading disfavor of him to fellow students. It would affort recognition to professors of superior teaching ability, raising teaching as a university service in relation to other academic work. Such a plan, however, presupposes that students are mature enough to consider the problem seriously and conscientiously. * * * A rule for making A's, according to The Midland is to wait for the prof, at least half an hour, even if the rest of the class leaves, when he is late. JAYWALKING With THORNTON and LANEY 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- Emerging from its trial stage, the LSM'FT has really proven itself! After working furiously for the last two or three days, the machine selected the winners of the cake race—all 30 of them. At the present time we can't publish the list but we do promise to publish it the first issue after the race is over. You see if it were published now every non-winner would refuse to take part in the race, thus depriving the students of going out to cheer for their entires even though they really won't have a chance. We can let out just a little information on the winners though. The Lanthorn machine says that they will all be first year male freshmen enrolled at Auburn. We can't let the info out publicly but confidentially we're partial to auto tires, gas coupons, and cute coeds. ^ « * * At a reception held this quarter one of the BMOC's was cornered by a dull but talkative coed who started a monologue on social standing.

It will be interesting to wait and see who they choose, and whether the girls of their choice more nearly represent the most beautiful on the campus than has been so at times in the past. However, this time with the change in effect, it's possible that it will be different even if not better. It would be sad, tho, if those who have been beautiful for years turn out not to be so this year! I TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 THE P L A I N S M AN Page Three All This, And A Mystery, Too, Proves That Y Hut Has Seen Exciting Days Building Has Housed Everything From "Macbeth" To Confederate Wounded By Mimi Simms Looking for the ideal setting for your ghost story? You couldn't beat the "Y" Hut for history, atmosphere, and—it even has a mystery. Besides the near magic of the disappearing lathes, benches, saws, and other shop equipment, the Hut can boast of having staged such weird goings-on as Macbeth. (In case you (have wondered just where all the equipment does go, it is stacked up to the ceiling and covered with black curtains. Those black curtains also hide the electricians.) But that is not the most interesting part of the Y Hut's history, for it has not led one life, but six! It began as the first Presbyterian Church, and was probably build by slave labor in the 1850s. Wooden pegs still hold much of the building together, and can be seen in the rafters over the stage. The present stage hides the first DINE IN A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE You'll like our courteous help and pleasant surroundings. STEAKS CHICKEN SEAFOOD Auburn Grille altar, which is still intact. The steeple, which was the pride of church members when it was new, began leaning toward College Street as it grew older. Fear that it might unexpectedly fall on a passerby brought it down peacefully. Wounded Confederate soldiers used the church as a hospital, but after the Civil War it again became a church. Here's The Mystery The mystery occured shortly before the World War, when someone broke into the cornerstone and robbed it. No one knows what was taken that was of any value,-and since the thief was never caught, the speculation still goes on. Soldiers in SATC during the last war used the building as a Young Men's Christian Association center, it having been abond-ed as a church. For The Kiddies Next step in its varied career came when it was turned over to a lady in town for a kindergarten. It was not from the men's occupation of the building, but from the Young Women's Christian Association's sojourn that the Hut took its present name. During the time of the YWCA, the Auburn Players were performing on the fourth floor of Samford, right underneath the clock. Conditions were hard on the audience, and. even worse on the Players. So arrangments were made to share the Y Hut. They Kicked Too Hard Some vandalous young men who were exploring the attic one evening accidently kicked out the ceiling over the stage, great- Tennis Club's Tourney Begins Play Next Week, Prexy Braswell Says With plans already underway for the first girls' tennis tournament this quarter, the Tennis Club found at its organizing meeting last week that it has more than eighty members. Officers elected at the time ^are Elaine Braswell, president; Martha Waldon, chairman of instruction; Mildred Cook, chairman of tournaments; Jeanette Ellis, social chairman; Jackie Swann, historian; and Jane Dowdy, secretary. Miss Ruth Reid is faculty advisor. Drawings for the scheduled tournament will be held the later part of the week, and actual play will probably begin Monday, Elaine said. Members will not only be encouraged in tournament play, but will also be given instruction from more experienced players. Beginners are as welcome as experts, and all girls are invited to sign up for membership in the PE office. ly improving both acoustics and the heating of the place. The Players took over entirely in the early 1930s. One of their biggest problems was heat. The Hut had a huge, black, pot-bellied stove, which would get red hot, but the actors had no way to get coal except to borrow it from the pile next door. To The Hut and Back When the Players first inherited the Hut, they staged their plays there. Students demanded that they move to Langdon, not realizing that the facilities for producing a play in the Hut were much better. About two years ago, the troupe again began staging plays there. Even now the building leads more than one life, for it does the work of a classroom, a workshop, a rehearsal room, and an auditorium for final productions. Storage cupboards have been built up to the ceilings in two of the corners. In the back the sewing machine folds into the wall. Even the floor is different; it is slightly higher in the middle, sagging toward the walls. More Ways Than One Although no one would suspect CHURCH BULLETINS Inter-Church Student Council The Inter - Church Student Council will meet Thursday at 4:30 p. m. at the Episcopal church.

There is also a way to climb in from the tower, and two doors under the stage. These last are the most intriguing, for though they have been bricked up, there is still a way for those who know how to get in. Pictures on the wall show productions as far back as 1937. The ax and golden cockerel above the stage were in the first spring festival which Telfair Peet, director of the Players, produced. Between acts at this quarter's play, "Out Of The Frying Pan," you might take a look at the Hut; it's worth a look or two—and you'll discover it's quite fascinating. BuggsTailor's Goldbricking Pays Off With Gold Bars Former Plainsman Editor Tells Of Guardhouse Days By Buggs Tailor I have just received my LIEUTENANT'S BARS, and am now qualified to tell you how it is done. I have always held the theory that a second louie could live an easier life than a private. So when I volunteered for the Army, I told them I'd be a shavetail or else-^-So they gave me my choice, and let me be a private. I was sent to an induction center in Atlanta to be sworn in. There I got some Army shots and some Army tests. The idea is that if you don't fall out when you get your shots and you don't flunk your tests, you will be immediately sent to the infantry. If you do, you have the same alternative. After letting me take it easy in the Army for a while, they sent me back to Auburn to graduate. Then I was ordered to Ft. Sill to an officer pool. This is an easy life; all day we rode in jeeps, and all night we rode in convertibles— what am I saying! - Up6n arriving at the pool, I took my sergeant aside and told him that we would be big buddies, and that I would overlook the fact that he was not a college man. After serving several months on KP, I finally got another look at the outside world. On To Infantry I was on a train looking out. It seems that the Army had decided that my talent lay not in my handling of guns, but in the way I walked. I failed to convince them that if I had really been able to walk, I would have won the Cake Race. When they let me off the train, representative told me we would I was in Ft. Benning. An Armyl b e t a k t o 8 b a s i c training soon, Li. William Buggs Tailor, recent graduate from OCS, is an Auburn graduate. He was famous at API for his ability in extracting high grades from his teachers. In an exclusive Plans-man interview, he reveals his secret how - to - be-a-shave-tail. like-I-am technique. This, as you no doubt halve heard, is tough. I didn't mind the ten days with only one can of water; I didn't rhlnd the ten hifle walks — double time — we took every day, or the blisters I got; I didn't mind the sergeant's constant nagging at me; but what really got me down Was having to retire at 9 p. m.—while the evening was yet in its infancy. Why, back here in Auburn at 9 I was just getting—but that's another story. Sarge Gives Up After three months of basic training, I wore the sergeant completely out, and he graduated me so he could recuperate in peace. Next move in my stragetic sup-erplan was to go to OCS, and after the usual delays, I arrived-*— With my bars already on. ThiSj I found was a mistake. After that guardhouse, even OCS was nice. They gave us studying to do— but I found out that you can goldbrick just as well in the Army as you can at Auburn. Records When it was time to graduate, they couldn't find any bad marks on my record —- in fact, they couldn't find my record at all. Someone had swiped it the night before—I've been wondering how I got out of that room without waking myself up. So they put my name on the list, and the Colonel handed me a diploma the next day with the other boys. I've found out that these little bars mean you can get away with murder—and if you ever get in a tight, you can always hock them as pure gold.

"LIBRARIAN MARY, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW!" x By MARTHA LEE Even to those who know the head librarian only slightly it is apparent that one of Miss Mary Martin's chief interests is flowers. One is met on entering the library by the sight of numerous vases of flowers—eye-catching not only by their variety of types and colors, but by their unusual combinations and arrangments. Miss Martin usually comes in with a new vase or armful of bloosoms, or if she is not seen, it may be that she is in the garden, straightening a plant a little, pulling a dead bloosom here, gathering an armful of flowers there and then pausing on the way in again to stoop and pull a week which had passed her earlier inspections. Mrs. Thatch, wife of the president of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, was so interested in Miss Marin's having a garden that she sent her janitor over to dig Up the first plot. That first garden, with its pool, was laid out by the side of the old library, where the reading rooms were later build. "There were three miles of iris in curved rows about the library grounds before the building was done, "Miss Martin said. When the garden had to be moved, many of the iris plants were given away and the others were "banked" beside the fence. j "Some of the plants have quite a story behind them." Miss Martin said and began telling of their origin. "The Ginger, or Butterfly lilies were given by Professor Kirkley; Mrs. Wilmore gave the blue' lilies and the white cherry trees. The iris came from South Carolina, and I brought the dahlias from Colorada". The dahlias became distributed all over Auburn," she continued, "but I lost mine." Auburn's uncertain weather interferes very little with Miss Martin's gardening. In fact she said, "I like to work best when its pouring rain because things (Continued on Page 4) THIS L & N man is a specialist—selected because of his study and experience to render sound advice about cattle, other farm livestock and everyday problems of crop production and marketing.

PAGE FOUR THE PLAINSMAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 Dean Petrie Catches Coeds' Ears Af Convocation With Coaching Tales First Football Game With Gawjia Described Speaking before the entire coed population of API at Convocation last Thursday afternoon Dr. George Petrie told the story of Auburn's first varsity football game. • . The team was organized in 1892. Previous to that time one half of the college had played the other half on the lawn in front of the main building. Dean Petrie went, that year, to the University of Virginia to see Addison Greenway about the rules. "An old school friend of mine, he took me up to his room and showed me how the game was played and how to fall on the ball." Here at. that time there were 300 students, all boys. "What a firie opportunity it would have been for a few girls", Dean Petrie added. Versus Gawja . "Our first opponent was the University of Georgia, whom we played in Atlanta on the 20th of February. When I went to Athens to make arrangements with the manager of their team he asked . me if I would like to come out on the field and see them practice. I hesitated, feeling that it would be not quite ethical. However he insisted, and we went. Saw the prettiest interference I've ever seen. I came home with the Auburn blues." "Going to the game we had a special train of two cars, and the engine, of course. One" car was for the Auburn team and one was for the boys from Stark School in Montgomery. "In Atlanta when we reached the old Kimball House Georgia was yelling "Rah, Rah, Rah, Gawja!" Stirring the spirit of the Auburn team, the yell was returned with "Rah, Rah, Ree, Alabama AMC" (Auburn was then Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College). In Tally Ho "Just before the game what do "We see but a Tally Ho? Do you know what a Tally Ho is? . . . . the horse and buggy equivalent of a Rolls Royce . . . It was flaunting the Georgia colors in gay style. "When we got out to Grant Field it was raining. When the game was over that horse and Tally Ho looked just like one of you girls running across the campus in the rain except that it had on shoes." In spite of the weather an unprecedented crowd appeared at the game—2000 attended. In fact, this was such an amazing number that an article written about it by Dean Petrie was published in Harper's Weekly. "That was true, real rain, which got harder as the game went on," he said. The enthusiasm of the crowd was great. So great that one lady who lived where the library now stands beat the man sitting in front of her on the head with her umberella. "She was a fine lady, too," said Dr. Petrie. "One of the finest I've ever known". We Won "That rain helped us. The Georgian interference did not materialize in the mud. That was a real game. Not one substitution was made in either of the 45 minute halves. At the end the score was ten to nothing in Auburn's favor. "After the game, Georgia, I presume, went back in the Tally Ho. But to keep our boys from catching cold I walked them back to the hotel (three miles). Professor McKissick our center, was a young engineering teacher here. At that time the young instructors played with the team, and a finer thing there never was to increase good feeling between faculty and students. If you don't believe it ask Dean Hare in the chemistry department. He played on that team. Rush Rides "Prof. McKissick didn't like to walk and before I knew it a HMT (hug-me-tight) buggy came cruising by. Two drummers had squeezed him in between them and were trotting down the road, yelling their version of our cheer: "Rah, Rah, Ree, Alabama ABC". They had made the mistake of thinking this was a cultural college." (Continued on Page 5) LOST: Parker pen, black with white specks. If found please return to Charles O. Butler, 147 W.

Barbary Coast Gent Coming To Tiger Sunday, Monday Wally Beery's coming to town —next Sunday and Monday—in his newest film, "Barbary Coast Gent," a comedy-drama of San Francisco's Barbary Coast and of the early Nevada gold-field days. Playing the role of Honest Plush Brannon—the honest being his own disignation—he is co-starred with Binnie Barnes. She possesses an acid tongue and a soft spot in her heart for Brannon. Despite all of her pleading to marry him, Plush insists he must be a success first—without, of course, resorting to work. After a shooting duel with his old partner, played by John Carradine, Brannon leaves town and winds up in Gold Town, Nevada, where the citizenry's impression that he is an important financier is not dispelled by Plush. \ He gets mixed lip in a romance between beautiful Frances Raf-ferty and handsome young Bruce Kellogg; starts to "take" the townspeople but decides to go straight when he discovers a real, honest-to-goodness mine, and gets involved in numerous and hilarious scrapes in the process of becoming an honest business man.

The colored boy was their "rub-down" boy "And the third handsomest man," he said, "is me." "Notice that derby hat. I wore it that year and the next and the next. On and on, until the styles got far from its brim. Then I gave it to the colored boy. Now it's back in fashion again. "That night at the old Kimball House I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I fell in love with her. The jriext year, when she was seventeen, we were married." "Financing the team was more difficult than coaching it," he stated. "Being Presbyterian, however, I believed in predestination, and sure enough, things came out right in the end. In fact, there was a little money left over. Raises Cane "The team took the surplus fund and bought two gold-headed walking sticks to give to the other coach and me, but the president of the college got wind of it and called them up to tell them that it was a college rule that no student could make a present to a member of the faculty. So instead we both received a notice that there were two canes in the Treasurer's Office and if we wanted them we could go there and get them." He then held up the cane for the audience to see.

Page Six T H E P L A I N S M AN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1944 Tech Trips Tigers In Heartbreaker Auburn Leads In All But Score 1 —— TACKLES By Bill Pierce Before 20,000 enthusiastic fans in Atlanta, the Auburn Tigers rose to magnificent heights to outplay the highly-rated Ga. Tech Yellow Jackets only to be beaten by a passing attack that just wouldn't be stopped. A quick glance at the statistics of the game will explain why the game was so unusual.

Lost Penalties 30 35 The Tigers, as a whole, were equal to Tech, the difference was in the fact that Tech clicked in the -clutch and Auburn clicked until it got in the clutch. Ga. Tech is as good as any team on the Auburn schedule and by common deductions we can expect "the Tigers to make an excellent showing from here on in. Tech's first score came in the closing minutes of the_iirst half when Jim Dorough got behind the Auburn secondary and took a pass from Dinky Bowen good for 20 yards and a score. Bowen converted. The second maker came on the first play of the fourth period on a fake statue of liberty play. Broyles passed to glue-fingered Dorough who took it on the three yard line and fell over. Bowen missed the try for extra point. The third score came a few minutes later when Tex Ritter flipped a honey of a pass into the out-streached arms of, George Matthews. Bowen place-kicked perfectly and the score read 20-0 against the Tigers. Broyles passed to Murdoch just a few seconds before the final gun for the last six-pointer. Bowen converted and there was the ball game. The young Tigers took a lot at the finish. They were immens- BACKS Joe Wozniak, probably t he leading tackle on the -Tiger squad, is one yankee who does right by the South. He is from Shenandoah Heights, Pa. Russell Inman, former Birmingham prep star is adding lots to the Auburn backfield. He was a constant gainer against Tech. WAA Volleyball Tourney Ends Emerging from last week's WAA volleyball games as league winners, Delta Zeta, Alumni Hall, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Chi Omega will go on to determine the championship team in the semi-finals this week. None of the league winners were defeated. Delta Zeta and Alpha Gamma Delta had previously captured the championship of League I and HI, and did not play last week. Pi Kappa Phi girls defeated Susan Smith, 31-27 last Monday in League I. Alumni Hall won in League H by a forfeit from Phi Delta Theta girls. In League Ill's game, Pi Omega Phi bested the Alpha Delta Pi by only two points, winning 30-28. Chi Omega defeated Theta Upsilon, 42-30, winning League J/V championship. Dormitory I turned back Susan ly popular and certainly covered themselves with glory. The whole team was good and if there were any individual stars they were Sanders, Kuykendall, Wozniak, Warrington and Dupuy. Next week finds the Tigers battling the Navy-blessed Green Wave of Tulane down in New Orleans. Unfortunately the student body won't be able to go almost en masse as it did to Atlanta. The Auburn Spirit covered Atlanta like the "Journal Covers Dixie". Every one was gay in spite of the loss as is evidenced by the way they "floated" back. / don't use a Moose call.

TIGER TALES By CARL SELLARS AROUND THE INTRAMURAL BOARD The interfrat football season is over except for the most important part—the play off. We find the following teams fighting for championship: Alpha Psi, OTS, and PiKA. OTS play PiKA Wednesday at 4 p. m. Alpha Psi plays the looser of the PiKA-OTS game Friday at 4. Instructions have not been made yet for the finals. RESULTS OF LAST WEEKS GAMES Alpha Psi handed SAE a 6-0 defeat. OTS galloped over ATO, 26-6. PiKA scored over OTS second, 14-0. OTS bested SPE, 19-6. Kappa Sig over Delta Sig, 7-0. - * * * After the varsity game in Atlanta I think we almost forget the touch football. As everyone knows, Tech won the game by the score of 27-0.1 have heard quite a few folks say we would have won the game if it hadn't been for our fumbles. Tech fumbled. I have seen quite a few All-American's fumble. It's all in the game. It doesn't sound so good for an Auburn student to gripe about the way individuals played Saturday. Just sit tight and watch our boys take the remainder of their schedule. Outstanding Sophomore Girls Tapped By Owls Sixteen sophomore girls were tapped for Owls, honor society for second year coeds last week at convocation.
