majored in Mechanical Engineer­ing
while at API, are John J.
Burke, Attalla, George Leslie
Cobb, Auburn; Asa B. Fuller,

Swindle Solos
After Taking
Flying Lessons
That first solo flight is a great
event in the life of a girl with
winged aspirations — just ask
Jeannelle Swindle. She should
know, for last week she soloed.
She was the first of the Auburn
girls who have been taking fly­ing
lessons out at the field all
summer to complete the necessary
training to solo.
At first Jeannelle wanted all
the flying hours she could get
here because she had an idea she'd
want to join the WASPs. How­ever,
that's now impossible be­cause
of limits placed on that or­ganization.
She hasn't ever been
sorry she began it, though. On
the contrary, every day she likes
it more, or as the saying is, "It
gets in the blood."
Hundred Frosh

Five Fraternity
Houses Reactivated
For New Students
By Irene Long
Coeds will return to .Alumni
Hall at the beginning of the fall
term in September after an ab­sence
of 1»6 months, during which
time the residence hall acquired
the name; USS ENTERPRISE,
housing naval cadets. Termination
of the primary training program
in colleges by the Navy caused
the abandonment of the "ship"
when the last class completed the
required work last week.
Alumni Hall was decorated for
girls two years ago, and little re-finishing
or improvement will be.
necessary because the cadets left
the building in good condition. A
majority of the 100 girls who
move to the dormitory will be
incoming freshmen, but a few
who have lived there previously
are getting the privilege of mov­ing
back, it was announced by
Dean Marian W. Spidle. Meals
will be served in the dining room
in the building. Mrs. Lena K. Goff
will be housemother. •
In addition, five fraternity
houses are being reactivated to
accommodate more women. Judg­ing
by the rate registration blanks
are being received in the office
of the Dean of Women, three more
fraternity houses will be needed
to house coeds. Meals will be
served in each house.
The five fraternity houses whose
definitely will be-opened for girls,
with the housemothers, are Phi
Delta Theta, Mrs. Bertha Prowell;
Delta Sigma Phi, Mrs. Grace
Walker; Phi Kappa Phi, Mrs.
W. H. Gregory; Alpha Gamma
Rho, Mrs. Elna Cartwright; and
Sigma Pi, housemother to be as­signed.
The number of new women
students expected to enroll for the
fall quarter was not disclosed,
and whether Auburn Hall will be
used for a women's dormitory is
not definitely known.
NEW PLAY "DANGEROUS CORNER"

Summer Production Startling
Gov. Sparks In Interpretation Of Problem
Convened With
Dems, Chicago
Says That Work
Behind-The-Scenes
Nominated Truman
By Vivian Thomas
Events of the Democratic Con­vention,
the first one Alabama's
Governor Chauncey Sparks ever
attended, are still fresh in his
mind. -
The governor, who came to Au­burn
to speak to the Southern
Farm Bureau Training School
here this week, has been travel­ing
this month. At one time a
farmer and a teacher, he said he
found the Chicago Convention
"not what he had expected."
In the pre-Convention work on
the platform, Governor Moody
of Texas and Governor Sparks
tried to insert a "states' rights"
plank in the platform, that would
keep out certain declarations hos­tile
to the South. Though this
plank was not accepted, Governor
Sparks believes that the Demo­cratic
platform is fair, and that
Mr. Roosevelt will gain the full
support of the South.
Although Governor Sparks
wanted. James Byrnes of South
Carolina to win the Vice-Presi­dential
nomination, the South
Carolinian did not run. Then the
real fight began, and the Alabama
delegation supported the compro­mise
candidate, Senator Harry
Truman of Missouri.
"It was the speedy behind-the-scenes
work that is constantly go­ing
on at any convention that
caused the sudden swing of the
tide of the Convention from Wal­lace
to Truman," he said.
In his address before the Farm
Bureau, Governor Sparks pledged
himself to help the farmers gain
security by something better than
the trial and error method which
has been used in the past.

That's what his nose is for; to

of the title "The Tiger Nose" can
stop and figure out why. So be
careful what you do.

PAN-HELLENIC
WILL SPONSOR
CAMPUS DANCE
Samford Swing will be spon­sored
by Pan-Hellenic Council this
coming weekend. The dance is to
be at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, on Sam-ford
terrace.
Gwen Biddle, president of Pan-
Hellenic, urges that all students,
servicemen visiting the campus,
and townspeople attend the dance,
as the success of the program de­pends
on the cooperation of these
people.
All servicemen and visitors on
the campus are asked to go by
the registration desk at the head
of the steps back of Saififord and
register as official guests of the
college.
Music will be furnished by rec­ords
on the nickelodeon, and
chairs will be furnished by the
Department of Buildings and
Grounds, for spectators.
Bridge games and watching are
encouraged.
Only two more all-campus
dances are scheduled for the sum­mer
quarter after this dance. The
staffs of The Plainsman, The
Glomerata, and Sphinx will spon­sor
the Swing on August 12, and
Cardinal Key will be in charge
of the last dance of the quarter
on the night of August 19.
Auburn Goes Over
Blood Quota One Pint
Although one pint of plasma over Auburn's quota of 700
pints for the Mobile Blood Bank's fifth visit here on August
9, 10, and 11 has already been pledged, Chairman Robert
Smith is urging all Auburnites who have not yet volunteered
to contact him as a reserve donor.
This is most important for cancellations are usually heavy,
and only a large number of vol­unteers
with reservations who fill
in at the last minute can guaran­tee
that the quota is filled.
Mr. Smith also stressed the fact
that all appointments should be
met on time. If, for any reason,
cancellation of an appointment is
necessary, this should be done
now, or as soon as possible so
that another donor may be sub­stituted.
Mr. Smith gives credit to Kath-erine
Wright, chairman of th&
campus drive, and Carolyn Self,
chairman of the town donations,
for the meeting the quota over a
week before the Bank is sched­uled
to arrive. Other members of
the Kappa Delta sorority have
been especially active in canvass­ing
the campus.
"Students have cooperated with
us remarkably well," Katherine
Wright said yesterday. "We were
surprised to find how many have
already donated, or were anxious
to donate because friends had ex­plained
how easy it is."
Reservations may be made with
Bob Smith at Burton's Book
Storev 210, Carolyn Self, 461, or
Catherine Wright, 888.
The Blood Bank will again be
stationed in the basement of the
Baptist Church, and will receive
donors from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Cards with the time of each do­nor's
appointment will be mailed
this week and next.
Four Men
Initiated
By APhiO
Alpha Phi Omega, national ser.
vice fraternity, initiated four men
last Thursday afternoon at five
o'clock. The intiates are Ted Bry-son,
junior in aeronautical engi­neering,
member of Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity from Sheffield;
Barry Graves, sophomore in elec­trical
engineering, member of Al­pha
Tau Omega fraternity from
Trenton, Tenn.; Bryson Hatfield,
junior in chemical engineering
from Montgomery; and Chick
Webb, senior in chemical engi­neering,
member of Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity from Augusta,
Ga..
Alpha Phi Omega is composed
of college and university men who
have been or who are affiliated
with the Boy Scout movement.
The fraternity offers opportu­nity
for fellowship, social activity,
opportunity to take part in service
projects which bring benefits to
others and bring satisfaction to
the members, and an opportunity
to develop leadership abilities
through the offices and commit­tee
assignments in the fraternity.
Fall Quarter Will See
Juniors Taking 19 Hours
Because Of New PE Rule
Because of the new regulations
compeling every junior to take
physical education for credit, re­quirements
for graduations have
been upped, it was announced by
Mr. Charles W. Edwards, college
registrar. Nineteen, not eighteen,
quarter hours Will be a normal
scholastic load for juniors begiir-ning
with the fall quarter, he
added.
Hours for graduation for sen­iors
have not been changed. Pres­ent
juniors, however, will add the
number of credits they receive
for PE during their junior year
to the number of hours now re­quired
for graduation.
At the end of three quarters,
this will increase every student's
requirements for graduation three
houTS.
Students exempt from physical
education will not be required to
make these hours upT
No credit will be given to any
senior for PE, but he may take
it without credit if he desires.
ON THE CAMPUS
IAeS
lAeS will meet Monday at 7:15
in Ramsay 109. A film will be
shown, and all aeronautical en­gineering
students are urged to
attend.

at the Y Hut for a four-night run.
Publications Board
The Publications Board will
meet at 8 p.m. tonight, to review
applications, interview prospective
candidates and qualify those who

AVMA
The AVMA will hold its regular
meeting tonight at 7:30 in the

Freshmen, Sophomores Given Special
Permission To See Play After 9:15
"Dangerous Corner," the Auburn Players' summer pro­duction,
will open next Monday night for a four night run.
The curtain will rise in the Y Hut at 8:15. This modern trag­edy
by J. B. Priestly should prove an unusual attraction be­cause
of its startling interpretation of a present day social
problem.
Maria Duchac, whose singing of
"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"
in the quilting scene of "Papa Is
All" was acclaimed by Auburn
audiences as the best comedy of
the year, will play the lead as
Olwen Peel, a young lady possess­ing
great loyalty and some judg­ment.
In the roles of Robert and Freda
Chatfield, victims of Robert's
honesty and Freda's infidelity,
two newcomers to the Players
will be introduced to local audi­ences
in Gordon Argo, and Wynn
Hall. .

Smith, U. S. Marine Corps, an Au^
burn graduate of 1901, has been
promoted from commander of the
Fifth Amphibious Corps to com­manding
general of Fleet Marine
Forces in the Pacific. He was be­hind
the training of two Army di­visions
which invaded North Afri­ca,
iri charge of the training of
Army troops prior to their land­ing
on Attu in the Aleutians, and

The righting at Tarawa—last-,
ing 76 hours—was the longest sin­gle
fire, or single action, fight on
record. The Japs had said that
it would take 100,000 to take Tara­wa;
actually, only 762 Marines
were killed and 2,269 were
wounded or missing. Although
losses were relatively small, this
battle in which Gen. Smith and
the Second Marine Division
fought so valiantly was said to be
one of the most vicious in the 168
years of .Marine Corp* history.
General Smith, born at Seale
in Russell County, Is described by
Marines as "typical enough to be
Old Man Devil Dog himself." He
was commissioned a second lieu­tenant
in the Marines in 1905, and
in World War I was decorated for
action at Chateau Thierry, Aisne-
Marne and St. Mihiel. His moth­er,
Mrs. John V. Smith, now lives
in Montgomery.
Long before Pearl Harbor, Gen­eral
Smith devoted himself to
training his men in ship-to-shore
operations which, developed to
meet the complex needs of present
day battle, became amphibious
warfare. He tested his methods
for the first time in landings in
the Solomons.
HANG CLOTHES ON OUR LINE,
SAYS CORSETEER SUPERFINE
Clothing's Thinner
Than In Winter
By Jack Thornton
The day of Victorian modesty
Has departed the Auburn-campus,.
No longer shall bewildered and
disillusioned young men scream
convulsively in the night, "How
come Papa didn't tell me?"
The eye-filling Auburn coed
now stands forth in all her glory,
clad in the coolest and necessari­ly
the scantiest" trace of clothing
she can buy, beg, borrow or origi­nate.
Short skirts, sleeveless as
well as backless dresses and all
forms of transparent and low cut
blouses grace her delicious body.
The motto seems to be, "The
Greeks did it. Ain't we better than
the Greeks?" referring of course
to an old Greek law which for­bade
women to wear more than
three pieces of clothing at one
time.
Joe College surely likes this
trend toward fewer and thinner
clothes but consider the plight of
Miss Mina Drupin. All winter and
spring she has paraded the walks
and halls wading delightfully
through the wolfish stares cast at
her provocatove figure. But now
the thick cocoon of winter dress
must be thrown aside and she
must show the stuff of which she
also knows that it is in the right
place through the Grace of God
made of the right stuff, but she
and the underwear manufactur­ers.
Summer dress will surely re­veal
to everyone the falsity of
the old adage "Seeing is believ­ing."
All is not lost however. There
is still the latest issue of Corset
and Underwear Revue to be con­sulted.
Dragging it out she
thumbs rapidly through and such
catchy phrases as, "Gay bit of
witchery," "Figure folding magic,"
"High youthful contour," and
"Lines of svelte beauty" leap out
at her.
But no, they're not quite the
thing. Ah, she has it! "Form-O-Youth,"
the ultimate in abbrevia­tion,
can be worn with bathing
suit or the lowest cut decolletage.
Pack a spare in your lipstick
case! That's for her she decides
and forthwith scurries off to the
corseteer's muttering "Now I
betcha I keep abreast of style."
AT LAST!
The 1944 Glomeratas will be
distributed at the Glomerata of­fice
during.the last week of this
quarter. Further notice concern­ing
details of this will appear in
The Plainsman at a later date.
Gordon Whitehouse. -This will
mark Allen's initial appearance
with the Players.
Bill Cole as Charles Stanton,
who knows the answer, and Su­san
Brown, as Maud Mockridge,
who would like to know it, com­plete
the cast. \
Lighting effects will be done
by Dottie Woodall, and Mrs. Jes­sie
Leigh will be prompter.
Students will be admitted on
presentation of their student ac­tivity
cards. Townspeople and oth­ers
will be charged a 25 cents ad­mission
fee.
Freshmen and sophomores will
be given permission to stay out
beyond 9:15 to attend the play.
A member of WSGA will be sta­tioned
at the door of the Y Hut
so that those girls availing them­selves
of this privilege may sign
in with them.

Don't Forget—Forget Those Flowers
For the first time this week end, the
new Interfraternity Council ruling ban­ning
corsages at fraternity formals will go
into effect.
Because there have been no formal
dances this quarter, the rule has yet to be
enforced. .This will be done, however, with
as much diplomacy and tact as possible.
But the fact remains that THERE WILL
BE NO REAL FLOWERS AT ANY FRA­TERNITY
DANCE EXCEPT THOSE
PRESENTED TO THE GIRL LEADING
THE DANCE.
Girls who persist in wearing flowers
will, gently but firmly, be turned away.
No one will enter the dance with real
flowers. Artificial flowers may be worn,
however.
This ruling which has been enforced on
most of the campuses in the South is a
long time overdue at Auburn. Even in
peace time, it is of doubtful advantage, but
in war wearing expensive flowers appears
to be downright unpatriotic. The money
could be put to much better use—even as
war stamps, if dates really want a corsage.
We heartily approve the IFC's action,
and remind you not to wear those flowers
Saturday night.
Campus Cross-Country
By SUSAN BROWN
Why College?
Colleges all over the United States are
full of students most of whom have never
stopped to think why they are really there
or what they will get out of the four years
they will spend there.
Casual observation reveals that a large
number of young people attend college
because it is fashionable. Some of them
come to school because their parents desire
them to be lettered men and women. The
rest of this group attend because the mem­bers
of their set come. An actual education
is not the primary interest of this group.
Many students come to college because
they think it is impossible to get a jbb
nowadays without the added prestige of a
degree. In this group are those who really
expect to be prepared when they apply
for a position and, therefore, expend some
effort in gaining knowledge.. Many, how­ever,
merely drift through the four years
expecting to get the degree and the job at
the end.
A third group of students come to college
for the purpose of sponging on their par­ents
as long as they can before going out
to earn their own way. The members of
this group are carefree spendthrifts study­ing
only enough to get by.
Then come the true students with the
desire to learn all they can during their
brief stay at the institution. Numbers of
them work their way through and realize
just what college is all about. They spend
long hours conscientiously working and
studying in an effort to get ahead in life.
Now that we have seen why young men
come to college, let us turn to a considera­tion
of what they expect to accomplish
with their expenditure of time and money.
Among the students are the plodders, play­boys,
athletes, and big shots.
The plodders constitute a majority of the
total number. They drift along studying
enough to make average grades and take
very little part in extra-curricula activi­ties.
The diploma is their ultimate aim and
they trudge on in the rear rank until they
get it.
The playboys, giving very little time to
their studies, rove about the campus con­stantly
in search of some diversion. They
attend all the dances and frequnt the road
houses. Out-of-town football games and
girls' dorms are their mecca. The degree, if
attained at all, is taken as a matter of
course. To them the successful college ca­reer
is one without a dull moment. Gradua­tion
finds them bewildered and at a loss
of what to do.
The attendants who actually get some­thing
out of the four year course are the
scholars. They expect to master the intri­cacies
of some profession and follow it up
after graduation. To them high averages
and membership in Phi Kappa Phi are
goals. Many of them are active and well
known on the campus in addition to their
scholastic attainments.
A conglomerate group are the athletes.
Among them are some who play for the
game itself, some who play for the money
it offers, and some who play for the glory
it is possible to accrue from excellence in
play. A part of this group have coaching
jobs in mind, while others dream of enter­ing
the professional field of sports. Some
of those who play for the game itself, are
scholars with other aims.
Lastly, there are the big shots. These
are the students who aim at a temporary
stand in the flickering spotlight of student
attention. They are back-slapping politi­cians
and schemers who go great lengths
to attain a bunch of coveted keys for their
chains. With no thought of after-gradua­tion
days, success to -them is a chance to
bask in the light of the collegiate sun.
All these groups with their various pur­poses
make up the colleges of the land. Col­lege,
itself is termed by some "the greatest
racket in the country." Whether or not this
is true depends solely upon the attitude of
the students, who may get as much, or as
little, out of school as they will.
Around The Editor's Desk
s We're glad to see watermelons coming down, even if slowly,
to about the price level of the college student's pocketbook.
Thought for a while we would not even get to taste any. Never,
in our short existence, have we seen them bring such enormous
prices. And you can't tell us it's not inflation. They don't cost
so much more to raise now than several years back, and the
price is a great deal more.

About two miles out of Auburn on the left of Montgomery
highway stands a granite slab inlaid with a bronze plate bear­ing
the following inscription;
NEAR THIS PLACE
SUNNY SLOPE
HOME OF W. J. SAMFORD
WERE ORGANIZED 1861
THE 14TH AND 18TH REGIMENTS

ALABAMA CONFEDERATES
f
The marker is in a very unobtrusive location. A fence corner
and a telephone pole border it with the assistance of a few
weeds, and the metal has corroded and a green stain runs down
from one corner of the plate.
Perhaps it isn't so noticeable, but it's there, and we're proud
that Auburn boasts so many permanent reminders of its color­ful
history.
Remember some others? Samford Hall, the big rock and
inscription in front of the Phi Kappa Tau house, the big rock
and inscription at the depot, the marker on the green -under
the stop light, the old lathe near Samford Hall, and probably
many others some old timer could enumerate.
Voice From Yankeeland
Dear Plainsman,
After seeing all the people from Auburn
here in New York, I thought you all might
be interested. It is like old home week.
Ralph Quinn, Walter Cowart, Hugh
Long, and I are over at the U.S.S. Prairie
State; it is the engineering branch of New
York Midshipman's School at Columbia.
Sam Perry and Allen Reynolds are in Deck
School at Columbia.
Margaret Toomer, Saxon Shoemaker,
and Betty Necrosi are in school at Colum­bia.
Walter Barr, I understand, is a naval
officer and is stationed here. As yet, we've
been restricted in the indoctrination period
of Midshipman's School, so we haven't had
a chance to have one of those well-known
Auburn parties.
I also understand that Billy Voigt will
be in town this week; he graduated at Prai­rie
State back in the winter.
We are all thinking of Auburn and with
luck we'll see you first Homecoming after
the war.
Best regards,
George Hopkins
P.S. After looking over those I men­tioned,
I find that I left out Fred Dietz, who

Here we are pilfering more jokes again. Some columnist
at Illinois Tech must be a cousin or brother to Bop Hope. His
name is Cernauskas, but that doesn't dull his sense of humor.
He makes his entire column of jokes—we're satisfied with just
enough to. get someone to read our column once in a while.
Here's the bait-

Rationed road to romance.
I never sausage eyes as thine,
And if you'll butcher hands in mine,
And liver round me every day,
We'll seek some ham-let far away,
And meat life's frown with love's caress,
And cleaver road to happiness.

Rush episode:
The street car was jammed, the day was bitterly cold and
Mandy, tightly bundled, couldn't seem to find the pocket with
her fare in it. Parson Brown, packed in right next to her, of­fered
to pay her fare after several moments. She declined and
continued to fumble for her money. Finally, in desperation, the
Parson declared, "Mandy, ah insists on paying yo' fare. Already
yo' has unbuttoned my suspenders three times."

The glass set in the tree facing
the front of Samford (most visi­ble
from the middle rooms on the
second floor) surprised some semi-attentive
students in a history
class the other afternoon by flash­ing
once or twice.
For some years the glass has
distracted students who have
found that by staring at it with
both eyes in a Franz Polgar way it
was possible to see all sorts of
things which appeared in dim and
fuzzy outlines and then faded
away in crystal ball fashion.
The thing flashed just as the
class had subsided after a "beat"
session with the harried professor.
Considering the possible super­natural
powers of the glass that
may or may not be prophetic.
Beats are a good old tradition,
one of the first things freshmen
learn about Auburn. The word is
a short-cut from the expression,
"We beat so and so out of keepin'
class."
From that expression the "beat
gittin'" technique evolved. The
art that could be is practiced by
all too many students, often with
an eye to cutting the actual lec­ture
period time a few minutes.
Nobody's surprise when it works.
Sleeping an extra hour some
morning or having an unexpected
fifty minutes sometime during the
day is too wonderful to be over­looked,
and it's still the" main
reason for beat agitation.
Without shedding their dignity
and without consequences of too
amazing proportions to our edu­cation
couldn't professors arrange
to spend some time working in a
victory garden, or taking care of
their children, or giving a lecture
at a women's club?
And the students. While they're
suffering through the heat wait­ing
for a beat, couldn't they skip
the persuasion and time-diddling?
College is an ADVENTURE, and
anyway it's done there have to be
some classes sometime.
Meanwhile, there are professors
who handle the whole thing
beautifully. They squelch the best
discussion before it has begun
(that old "class in the palm of his
hand" stuff) and slip into a re-,
freshing, cooling lecture with hu­mor
and dignity.

The librarians have been hap­pier

The energy peaks for normal
people in North America are sup­posed
to be around 10:00 in the

It coincides too perfectly
with the "busy" hours of the

convincing. Anyway, what is an
"energy peak?"

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.
Back somewhere in the cobweb
encrusted archives of our mind we
remembered an essay encountered
while we were studying American
literature in our junior year in high
school. Try as we might, we could
not recall who wrote the essay or
what its exact title was, but have
the vague impression that it was
called The Value of a College Ed­ucation.
We've tried looking in
all the collections' of essays in the
library—but we had no luck in
finding it. Perhaps if you remem­ber
who wrote it and where we
can find it, you'll let us know.
The general gist of the compo­sition
was that everyone should
continue his education after leav­ing
high school and pursue the
fleet nymph, Higher Education.
The author went on to explain
that although some individuals
did not have the capacity to as­similate
the knowledge there and
to attain their height of ability,
the time spent in trying to achieve
something in the intellectual and
cultural background of a univer­sity
would, in the end bestow cer­tain
blessings on them that would
make them fit company for them­selves.
There is a lot to be said for this
view-point, but it contrasts sharp­ly
with the attitudes of, shall we
say, the average parent who sends
his child away to school with the
parting remark that let him flunk
one course and he'll be home to
stay. There are some students,
who, dig and beat their heads
against their books as they may,
cannot absorb and and utilize the
material set before them. But for
them to be said to be wasting
their time and their parent's
money is an unjust accusation. By
their association with other stu­dents
and members of the faculty, .-
they are immeasurably helped to
broaden their scope and to reach
an outlook on life which does
indeed make them fit company
for themselves and prepares them
to obtain as much from the pleas­ures
of this life as it is possible
for them to enjoy as their individ­ual
personalities dictate.
Although we don't especially
like to use the word sensual lest
it be interpreted the wrong way,
we do believe that the pleasures
of life—except for those that are
purely spiritual—fall into such a
category in that they appeal to
the five senses of man. It is the
duty of a college education,
rounded and well planned, to in­struct
the student and to help
him to appreciate those things
around him which are worthy of
appreciation. If an institution fails
to do this, the institution is. of no
value in the service of mankind.
The student must be taught the
good from the bad. He must be
allowed to choose for himself. He
must be able to enjoy a good
book, a song that pleases his ear,
a masterly painting. But this sen­sual
appreciation cannot be ' in­stilled
in him if her reads only
good books, hears only harmo­nious
songs, and sees only the
works of the.masters. He must be
allowed and encouraged-to eval­uate
the article himself and by
his own standards if he is to truly
learn to enjoy the tangible quali­ties
of materialism which mean so
much to us.
We think too that the student
should make cautious use of the
fruits of enjoyment, which, al­though
they may appease his de­sire
for the finer things, are likely
to dull his taste eventually. For
that reason we would advise him
to read a poor book for a change
and to buy a hill-billy recording
or two. Then, by way of contrast,
he really will enjoy—the finer
things of life!
* * *
Next quarter's seniors are going
around these days with that su­perior
air which they developed
last week when The Plainsman
broke the news that they wouldn't
be taking PE next quarter. This
really was welcome news, and un­derclassmen
are counting the days
until they will fall into the classi­fication
of seniors themselves. We
can remember back to the days
when road marches out to the
poultry farm under a burning
summer sun and trumped-up ex­cuses
from the infirmary were a
common occurence. When peace
comes we'll all agree that war was
hell!

1, Preserve-only sound, strictly fresh produce—the excess from your

2. Use only the latest, scientific methods. Such information may be
obtained by writing to the Extension Service, Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
at Auburn, Ala., or to "Home Canning," U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C.
3. Use proper equipment. Unless you're

you can borrow one from a neighbor.

GREENS, WMITESTIE 6-6 IN FINAL PRACTICE TILT
Stevens Makes Longest Run
Of Game With 71-Yard Dash
Inexperience Shows In Failure To
Make Poinr-Afrer-Touchdown Tries
A 71-yard dash by Roger Stevens, frosh back from Murphy
High, Mobile, and scat back for the White team, highlighted
the fifth and final game of the Summer football practice ses­sion
here in Auburn that ended in a 6-6 tie. The Greens, trail­ing
the Whites as a result of Steven's run midway the second
quarter, came back in the fourth period to score, four plays
before the end of the game.
The Whites netted but two first
downs all afternoon, while the
Greens ran up a total of 15 first
downs, but only in their final
threat were they able to score on
the stubborn White line.
First Quarter
Kuykendall ran the opening
kickoff back 18 yards for the
Greens to the 30 and after both
teams failed to get anywhere in
an exchange of punts, the Greens
picked up a first down on the
White 48 but then had to boot
with Hawkins kicking out on the
34. The Whites failed to get any­where
at the Green forward wall
and then Kuykendall returned
Ball's quick-kick 16 yards to his
own 46.
Here the Greens started march­ing
and in 10 straight plays had
taken the ball to the 4 when the
period ended.
As the second quarter opened,
the Whites held and took the ball
on downs on the 4. Again the
Whites had to boot back and this
time the Greens went down to
•the 11 where on fourth down In-man
faked a drop-kick and car­ried
the ball instead, coming up
with a seven yard loss.
Stevens' Dash
. It was here that Roger Stevens
made his great run. Taking the
ball on the 18, Stevens broke, away
and carried the ball down the
right side of the field until he
was finally caught from behind by
Scott Galbreath on the five yard
line.
Three plays later Stevens scor­ed.
He first picked up three yards.
Sam Swindell added two, and
then Stevens, bulled over from
the one.
Denvard Snell attempted to
boot the extra point but Alvin
Hillegass broke through to block
the kick.
The Green team finally tied the
ball game up late in the final
quarter. Taking the ball on their
own 21 yard line at which point
Billy Mann kicked out, Kuyken­dall
paced the Greens back up the
field pn .a sustained 79-yard march
to score although he had to leave
the game, when he had carried
the ball to the ten because of a
slight injury.
It took the Green team 14 plays
to march that 79 yards and it was
Russell Innman, from Ensley
High, Birmingham, who went ov­er
to score from the three.
With the chance to win the
game, Innman's attempted conver­sion
went low and wide of the up­rights.
Four plays later the game
was over.
Immediately upon completion
of the game, Coach Voyles had
the two teams line up and work
on the point-after-touch-down
kick.
Material Here
With only one player on the
squad with any experience, the
Tigers naturally still have a far
way to go but the material seems
to be on hand.
Two of the top backs on the
squad also were not in action yes­terday.
Nolen Lang, a 16-year-old
200 pound fullback, from Way-cross,
Ga., is slated to have one of
the starting backfield posts. ,
Another back not in action was
Cliff Grubs from Auburn High
that single handed defeated Jor­dan
High last year and did all but
the same to Columbus High for
one half. Grubbs took a summer
course in high school and is now
ready for collegiate play. _
The game yesterday "was the
fifth in a series between the
Whites and the Greens. The
Greens won the series by scoring
wins of 13-6 and 26-13 against a
lone 15-12 victory for the Whites.
The other contest was a 7-7 tie.
Coaches Dutch Voyles and
Shorty Propst were in charge of
the Greens, Coach Bbb^Evans and
Swede Umbach handling the
Whites.

"Buffalo Bill"
Plays At Tiger
Sunday, Monday
Time was when white men
went among the Indians to teach
them white men's ways.
But for the 20th Century-Fox's
epic Technicolor hit,. "Buffalo
Bill," which opens Sunday at the
Tiger Theatre, and stars Joe Mc-
Crea, Maureen O'Hara and Linda
Darnell, the studio had to send
white men to teaph Indians to
fight Indian fashion in sequences
of the action-packed epic.
The chief instructor was Joe
DeYong. One of the greatest liv­ing
authorities on American In­dians,
he has made a life-long
study of their costumes, ceremo­nials,
methods of fighting
DeYong lived among each of
the tribes for many years. He
never learned their dialects, how.
ever, because he is deaf. But he
converses with them fluently
through their sign language.
Thomas Mitchell, Edgar Buch­anan
and Anthony Quinn are
featured in the cast of "Buffalo
Bill," which was directed by Wil­liam
A. Wellman and produced
my Harry A. Sherman.
