AIRPORT
WILL BE
IMPROVED
Third Runway
To Be Paved,
Building Planned
The construction of a 4-story ad­ministration
building to house of­fices,
classrooms, signal towers
and waiting rooms is one of the
main features of a postwar pro­gram
for the operation of the Au-burn-
Opelika Airport by the Ala.
bama Polytechnic Institue. This
announcement was made Wednes­day
afternoon by President L. N.
Duncan, who addressed a meet­ing
of the Auburn-Opelika Aero
Club at the airport.
It was also announced that
plans have been made for paving
a third lunway and that 15 train­ing
ships had been purchased.
"It is our intention to make full
use of the airport as a part of our
educational institution, where stu­dents
may receive practical in­struction
which will supplement
their formal classroom instruc­tion,"
Dr. Duncan declared.
After reviewing the history of
the airport, Dr. Duncan went into
an exhaustive review of the fu­ture
use of the facilities, how they
are to be enlarged, and the educa­tional
results expected from
them.
He stated that the institution's
program is being expanded to take
care of postwar needs and that
men will be trained in such fields
as aerodynamics, structures, air­plane
design, aircraft power-plants,
airport management, main­tenance
and commercial aviation.
The college will be in full charge
of all commercial activities at the
airport, the speaker said.
In order to further a closer re­lationship
with other airports in
the Southeast, Dr. Duncan an­nounced
that an Airport Manage­ment
Conference had been called
to be held here on August 21,
30 and 31, and that airport ex­perts
will attend from many sec­tions
of the country.
Wednesday's meeting of the
aero club was attended by about
150, -including members and their
wives. A barbecue and flights
featured the occasion.
Former Auburn
Student Dies
In Plane Crash
Lt. Harry Merriwether, API '43,
of Atmore, was the victim of a
fatal plane crash on July 12 in
Texas. The accident occurred
while Lt. Merriwether, serving as
a liaison pilot in the Field Artil­lery,
was engaged in observing
and directing artillery firing prac­tice.
The cause of the crash has
not yet been satisfactory deter­mined,
but army officials are in­vestigating
it.
While a student at Auburn, he
took an active part in campus
affairs, serving as business mana­ger
of the Glomorata, and as a
member of the Publications Board
during his senior year. He' was
representative to the Executive
Cabinet in his sophomore year,
and in his juior year was presi­dent
of his class. He was a mem­ber
of Alpha Gamma Rho, social
fraternity, and of Delta Sigma Pi,
honorary business • fraternity. Lt.
Merriwether received his degree
in Business Administration.
Auburn Gets
$3,000 Gift
As Trust Fund
Evans Engineering
Firm Contributes
Aid To Students
A $3,000 trust fund, the income
from which is to be used in pro­viding
scholarship aid for engi­neering
students whose education
has been interrupted by reason of
the war and there after such other
worthy studerits as the proper au­thorities
of the college shall de­termine,
has been donated to Au­burn
by the F. J. Evans Engineer­ing
Company of the Birmingham
area.
The donation was accepted by
President L. N. Duncan, who has
been authorized by the Board of
Trustees to appoint a Scholarship
Committee which shall have
charge of investing the principal
sum in sound securities, account­ing
for interest return thereon,
and selecting worthy students as
recipients of scholarship aid with­in
the limitations as described
above.
Members of the committee are
as follows: Dean J. E. Hannum,
of the School of -Engineering;
W. T. Ingram, business manager;
and Kirtley Brown, director of
student affairs.
"BANK" NEEDS
2oo' ADDITIONAL
PINTS OF BLOOD
Two hundred additional volun­teers
are urgently needed to fill
the quota set for the Lee County
blood donor service. Miss Kath-erine
Wright and Miss Carolyn
Self are giving of their time and
efforts in the enlistment of donors
and now urge all those who have
not volunteered and desire to do
so to contact them or phone
Chairman Bob Smith at Burton's
bookstore.
Up to last night, according to
Mr. Smith, 500 volunteers had
signed up for the forthcoming
blood bank on August 9, 10, and
11, leaving 200 yet to be secured
in order to meet the necessary
quota of 700.
'There must be no let-up on this
home front effort," commented
Miss Katherine Wright. "The news
fro mEurope lately has given a lot
of people the idea that it is no
longer necessary to keep plugging
here on the home front. That's
just not so. Blood will be needed
even after the war is over and it
isn't over yet. A pint of blood is
a small sacrifice compared with
the sacrifices our boys are making
on the battle fronts of the world."
Sabers Choose
New Members,
And President
R. C. Humphrey, aeronautical
engineering student from Colum­bus,
Ga., was elected president of
the Sabers, honorary military fra­ternity
at API, at a recent meet­ing
of that organization.
Five men were elected to mem-ship
in the Sabers at the same
meeting.
Among standards that a man
must have in order to be consid­ered
for membership are: high
scholastic average in Military Sci­ence;
conspicuous display of lead­ership;
and admirable personality
traits. i
The following men were tapped:
L. S. Garrett, sophomore in elec­trical
engineering from Colum­bus,
Ga.; C. S. Keller, sophomore
in pre-med. from Abbeville, Ala.;
J. S. Meadows, sophomore in pre-dentistry
from Salem, Ala.; Max
Mutchnik, sophomore in areo-engineering
from Mobile, Ala.;
and Lewis Tanner, sophomore in
aero-engineering from Jackson,
Mississippi. >
NEW NEWSDAY IS
NOW TUESDAY
Beginning on Aug. 1. The
Plainsman will come off the
press each Tuesday, instead of
each Friday as is now the prac­tice.
This change was brought
about for several reasons that are
associated for the most part with
conditions caused by war.
And for the benefit of those
that are not receiving copies of
The Plainsman at the present, a
new system of circulation is be­ing
contemplated. Bob Kirby, new
circulation manager of the paper,
is asking that all townspeople and
students not having access to The
Plainsman, to please drop a card
containing the name and address
of the complainant addressed to
the circulation manager, in care
of The Plainsman office. This af­fects
only those living within the
city limits. An effort is being
made to see that each house in
Auburn receive at least one copy
of the paper.
Alumni Form
Greater API
Fund At Meet
A meeting of the members of
the xecutive Committee of. the
Alumni Association on invitation
of Dr. L- N. Duncan, president of
the college, recently created the
Greater Auburn Fund for the
purpose of fostering an dencour-aging
the alumni to make gifts
of money andoiher valuables for
the promotion of worthy activities
of the school.
It was pointed out that such a
fund would not'only assist in en­larging
the activities of the insti­tute
but would serve to cement a
closer relationship between the
alumni and friends of the school.
A resolution setting forth the
aims and purposes of the special
fund empowered Frank Samford,
president of the association, to apr
point the necessary committees to
set up a permanent incorporation
within the alumni association for
"broadening the areas of service
of alumni to the institution
through financial assistance and
other aids." How the Great Au­burn
Fund fits in with the gen­eral
scheme of colleges through­out
the country was explained by
Dr. Duncan, and other alumni
present offered their support to
the movement. When put to a
vote, the resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
The alumni attended the confer­ence
and a majority of the visitors
remained over for a review of Au­burn's
football prospects;

arrangements about the situation.
Several matches have already
been forfeited.
Home Economics
School Offers New
Course This Fall
The Foods and Nutrition De­partment
of the Auburn
School- of Home Economics
will offer a new course this
fall called Family Nutrition
Mrs. Marion W. Spidle, dean of
the School of Home Economics,
said that this course is planned to
meet the needs of all college stu­dents,
men and women, who are
interested in good family nutri­tion.
The course is required of
majors in General and Vocational
Home Economics Education and is
open to majors in Sociology, Pub­lic
Welfare, and to those who are
interested in their own family
problems. "
The course is designed to give a
broad study in the field of nutri­tion
as applied to family feeding.
Emphasis will be placed on the
practical and functional aspects
of the subject rather than scien­tific
research. The course is plan­ned
for three lectures and two
laboratory periods per week and
will be taught by Mrs. Inez
Schrader.
Chewacla Plans
Improvements
And Additions
$125,000 Will Be
Spent On Lake,
Cottages And Roads
Chewacla Park, favorite pleas­ure
snot of Auburn students and
one of the state's public recreation
grounds will be improved at a
cost of approximately $125,000 ac­cording
to an announcement by
Ben C. Morgan, director of the
State Department of Conserva­tion.
;
The program includes 10 to 15
additional cottages, improvement
of the lake and the paving of the
road leading from the Montgom­ery
highway to the park entrance.
While the announcement did
not specifically state that the road
would be paved, it is believed
that this bady needed improve­ment
will be included, as a special
fund of $500,000 has been suggest­ed
for the improvement of roads
leading to every unit of the state
park systems The $125,000 esti­mated
cost of cabins and lake im­provements
is over and above the
cost of paving.
Additions and improvements
within the park area will be iuhder
the supervision and from the
funds,of the conservation depart­ment,
while the paving will be
done by the highway department.
The program is a part of the
state's vast postwar master plan,
which will involve both state and
federal funds, it was announced.
The lack of adequate cabin fa­cilities
at Chewacla Park has been
the greatest handicap since it was.
developed, patrons having to wait
for months to secure cabin ac­commodations.
Despite this handi­cap,
"the park rates as the second
highest of the entire state system
in gross revenue, due, in the main,
to the fact that it is the only
state park that charges an en­trance
fee. An increase in num­ber
of cabins will make it possi­ble
to eliminate the fee, it is be­lieved.

Course As Quarter-Hour Credit Is Given
The program of physical education in both the women's
and men's PE department has undergone complete revision.
The new regulations, designed to make the physical training
of each individual student more effective and more suited to
his needs, will go into effect at the beginning of next quarter.
The exception to this ruling is that seniors will be excused
from PE. This is effective imme- •

requirements are met.
One quarter hour credit will be
granted for each quarter. All
freshman men are required to
take four scheduled hours of PE
each week. One hour of this will
be devoted- to instruction in per­sonal
hygiene and sanitation.
All others are to be required
to take three scheduled hours
per week. Classes will be sched­uled
throughout the day from 8
to 4 p.m., and may be arranged to
fit individual schedules.
According to the results of phy­sical
examinations students will

Attendance at classes is requir­ed
by the college. No cuts are
authorized. The only officials who
have the% authority to excuse men
from PE classes are the president,
the college surgeon, and the head
of the PE department. Any man
who has three unexcused ab­sences
in any one quarter will
be ordered to report to the head
of the department who will warn
the man of the number of his ab­sences.
If he has five he will be

Women Students
Regulations for women's PE are
posted in the Alumni Gym and all
women students are requested to
go by and read them. Senior girls
do not have to take any PE
classes, except when they shall
elect to do so for additional cred­it.
One quarter hour credit will
be earned by the student for each
quarter of PE. A medical exami­nation
is required of each student
before admission to classes. In
order to receive a well-rounded
program of activities and educa­tion

The Glenn family of Auburn,
which has played a vital part in
the development of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute since 1872,
was honored Monday night at a
dinner meeting of the Faculty Fo­rum
held in the Quadrangle.
The family was represented by
Miss Allie Glenn, treasurer of the
college since 1896, and Dr. Charles
B. Glenn, former superintendent
of the Birmingham Public School
System. Under the guidance of
Dr. Glenn, the Birmingham Sys­tem
became famous throughout
the country.
As the principal speaker, Dr.
Glenn entertained his audience
with a delightful address based
upon a number of humorous sto­ries
related to Auburn.
Miss Allie was presented to the
group by President Duncan who
paid glowing tribute to the Glenn
family. The faculty members re­sponded
by singing "Let Me Call
You Sweetheart."
Every check issued by the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute since
its establishment in 1872 has been
signed by Miss Allie Glenn or
by her father whom she succeeded
as treasurer in 1896.
For the decade following 1886
served as assistant to her father,'
the late E. T. Glenn, who was
treasurer from 1872 when the col­lege
was founded with the tak­ing
over by the State of the old
East Alabama Male College.
Miss Allie's grandfather, the
Rev. John Bowles Glenn, was
president of the board of trustees
of the East Alabama Male College
during the entire time of its ex­istence,
1857 to 1872.

And The Band Played O n - -
In the not too distant past, Auburn has
been dubbed a "cow college." But no more,
we are glad to say.
Not that the name cow college is a re­flection
on the agricultural school, for it
isn't. Rather, it's a definite slur on the
part of the college which is engaged in
more cultural pursuits. As a general rule,
cow colleges leave anything pertaining to
art, music, or drama, strictly alone. They
resent the idea of cultural courses, the
way Hitler does the Russian knocks at his
back door.
Auburn has always made an attempt to
offer courses in fine arts to interested stu­dents.
At the time we entered the war,
API had the broadest cultural program in
its history.
Lately, however, the music end has fall­en
down. Since Mr. Lawrence Barnett left
in March, Auburn has been without a mu­sic
director. But college. authorities have
not been asleep. Already a prospective mu­sic
director has seen action before a girls'
Convocation.
Music is a thing that our college leaders
could have dropped for the duration— ex­plaining
that it was "because of the war."
But they chose to continue it with what
facilities are now available.
Because our administration was far-sighted
enough to see our need to grow
musically as well as in other ways and is
doing something about it, we feel that Au­burn
is taking another step forward.
Servicemen And Fraternities
In last week's issue of The Plainsman
there appeared an editorial under the head­ing,
"Fraternity Patriotism." Since the edi­tor
was absent during the entire process of
publishing last week's issue, naturally he
had very little to say as to what the edi­torial
policy would be in that situation.
This editorial is his opinion.
First, any fraternity that will turn away
any member of its national or local organi­zation,
providing he is a member in good
standing, and deny him the privileges that
a fraternity is founded upon, then that or­ganization
is not a fraternity. It is a cheap
imitation. Regardless of the chapter with
which he is affiliated, or the condition in
which he might be, it is the duty of the
members of his national fraternity to come
to his assistance in his time of need. We
don't believe Auburn has any fraternity
on its campus that will violate these ac­cepted
traditions.
But to open the doors of every fraternity
to every serviceman that visits our cam­pus
over the weekend is almost impossible
for several reasons.
And then there is the unpleasant side
that always comes up in such situations. It
was the unpleasant side that made it neces­sary
for our own Army unit here in Au­burn
to turn away visiting servicemen who
desired a night's lodging. The things that
a drunk soldier or sailor can do to a nice
clean bed are best left undiscussed.
The Army, the largest fraternity in the
world, saw fit to make regulations on the
situation, and it is much more able finan­cially
and otherwise to take care of ser­vicemen
who visit this area.
It is bad that many must suffer for the
faults of a few. That is the case in so many
similar situations today. And sometimes
there is, so little that can be done about it.
Take the case of the fraternity imposter.
He walks in, says he is a member of such-and-
such a chapter of the fraternity from
which he is now trying to boondoggle a
free meal or so and a night's lodging. Fra­ternity
men hesitate to call his hand and
a check-up is sometimes difficult without
appearing obvious.
There are many complexities we haven't
touched upon. We don't pretend to cover
the whole situation and offer a cure-all
remedy. We do say this, however. Auburn
has the reputation of being one of the
friendliest colleges in the world. It is also
supposedly hospitable because it is in the
deep South. We like these traditions asso­ciated
with our name, and believe that
everything in reason should be done to
prove that the traditions are true and
worthwhile. No serviceman expects the
fraternities to compete with the hotels in
service, or go out of reason to provide for
him, but he does expect and should get
decent consideration from the Greek let­ter
organizations.
Are You A Path maker?
Grass and trees, shrubs and flowers—
these things now growing on the cam­pus,
carefully tended by the Department of
Buildings and Grounds.
These pleasant additions to the campus
cause visitors to carry away tales about the
beauty of the once drab Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute.
This is the kind of publicity any college
needs and desires, for although prospective
students choose their schopl for the cur­riculum
available there, the appearance of
the college influences their decision.
We don't really know how to appreciate
the landscape of our college unless we re­member
how it looked several years ago—
with the earth nothing but bare red sand
and pebbles, unprotected from the blazing
rays of the sun by shade trees.
Much of the barren earth now has been
covered by the grass planted on lawn
areas. The zoysia grass planted in the tri­angular
plot in from of samford Halls is
green despite the present weather, as is
most of the foliage.
The shrubs, planted, watered, dug
around, and clipped by the B&G staff, are
of such variety that some kind is blooming
at almost any time of the year. In the
spring were the sweetbuds, then the wei-gela,
and now the crepe myrtles and mag­nolia
trees.
The trees which have been planted pro­vide
a cool and pleasant addition to spots
heretofore unshaded.
The Quadrangle has been provided with
walks, a green lawn, shrubs, and trees,
within our time, and the area in front of
the library has been made more attractive
by the addition of brick walks.
Walks and steps were scarce five years
ago. Since we came there have been added
in innumerable places, the latest being be­hind
the New Building.
Students can best be helpful in the pro­gram
of beautifying the campus by leav­ing
off those short cuts, so some old grad,
who hasn't seen Auburn in many a year,
will be agreeably surprised during his next
visit.
MUST BE THE WEATHER
Around The Editor's Desk
• Much to the apparent disgust of the junior staff, we're still
hanging 'round even if every effort was made to give us the
farewell ticket. They did manage to set our expiration date, and
see that it got a prominent spot on the front page.
Cranial space is at a premium in The Plainsman den since
the junior staff has found that they can operate minus yours
truly. Oh well, there is still some kick left in the old has-been.
Watch the next four issues.
* * * * *
Since we find so many commendable things about our cam­pus
so much of the time, we find it difficult to write a column
without pointing out some of those things. First we would
like to commend the staff, even if we do feel a bit envious,
for the admirable manner in which they handled last week's
Plainsman.
Then we always like to see the PiKA house late at night
with the flood lamps lighting up the inscription on the ivy-covered
chimney. We like to show it to visitors, who never
fail to comment favorably on the striking effect it creates.
* , * * * *
In another column on this page, the honorable editor of said
conglomeration states that he doesn't wish to crusade in his
column. Well, we don't either, but neither do we feel that we
should refrain from offering a suggestion now and them Not
that our suggestions are any better than any one else's, but
we're in the position to offer them as few others on this cam­pus
are, and since someone evidently must do this, and since
you don't have to read this paper or column, and if you d»
you don't have to agree with it, then we're offering this sug­gestion.
Why isn't some course given on this campus that offers the
essentials of Emily Post's book on etiquette?. Now we can see
most of you frown or sneer as you read this. Perhaps you can
see a college boy delicately arching his smaller digit as he
fingers his tea cup. But before you expose your ignorance fur­ther,
please take the trouble to read up a little on the old girl.
She really gives a lot of practical, everyday advice along with
the usual frills that are included for the "my deans'."
To use the original book would be quite impractical. It's
too comprehensive and much of it would never be used by the
majority of college students (the diplomatic intricacies for in­stance),
therefore the book might be condensed greatly and
meet with much greater approval.
The basic fundamentals that are necessary for human be­ings
to associate succesfully with human being are elaborated
upon fully. You are surprise to find the solutions to things that
have baffled you for years clearly given in precise, understand­able
English.
\ It would be ideal from a long-range point of view if the
course were made essential for freshmen, but even if it were
offered only as an elective it would be extremely beneficial to
those interested in improving their personalities. Knowledge
of the proper thing to do at the proper time inspires more
self-confidence than probably any other one thing, including
looks, and past accomplishments. And self-confidence is one
thing that is a must for the successful college .graduate. Every­one
likes a person who is able to go about his daily routine
with an easy, natural swing, always knowing the proper thing
to do or say at the right time or place.
It is argued that fraternities are instrumental in bringing
about a lot of valuable changes in a person who is reticent or
just ignorant. They do. And they can also do a helluva lot
toward bringing about undesirable changes. Some advocate
liquor to inspire self-confidence. We don't need to elaborate on
that. It wouldn't accomplish anything.
* * * * *
Well, the whole thing was a good IDEA anyway.

to "write something—or else!"
This is else.

It seems that the majority of
people are prone to accept the ob­vious
as the real, unadulterated
truth. The purpose of these next
few column inches is to awaken
the readers to the fact that few
truths are actually truths, that
most "daily bladders" are just that
—daily bladders.

Q. Deaf people cannot hear.
A. Absolutely false! Careful
study of the word "hear" reveals
that it is derived from the old
Anglo-Saxon word hyran (Portu­guese
hak), which means, as near­ly
as can be translated, "to be
present at." Obviously, deaf peo­ple
fall into this category, for
they can certainly be anywhere
- that a perfectly normal person
can.
Q. Hannibal crossed the Alps
on elephants. True or false?
A. False again! Recent excava­tions
at the base of the Sphinx
have brought to light the startling
information that the Carthaginian
general, in his famous campaign
against the Holy Roman Empire
used, not elephants but hoxadon-tas,
to cross the perilous Alps.
They were descendants of a prize
herd presented the general by the
wife of Abdul Abulbul, Amir of
Afganistan. The Romans later
slaughtered the animals, and
present day textbooks have not
been revised on this point.
Q. Watermelon and whiskey
will make you extremely ill. True
or false?
A. False, of course! Conscien­tious
research by the faculty of
the (to be cont'd.)

Poem
The Frenchman loves his
burgundy,
The German his bok beer.
The Englishman loves his hot
rum toddy
He says it gives good cheer.
The Mexican takes his mescal
straight
Because it gives him dizziness;
But the American has no
choice at all,
So he drinks the whole damned
business.

Much has been said about the
famous phrase, "Never have so
many owed so much to so few."
As a parody on that statement, we
offer the Quote Of The Week:
Observing the considerable
shortage of girls around his camp,
a G.I. remarked, "Never before
have so many pursued so few with
so much and obtained so little."—

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.
No column, we feel, should be
given over to endless crusades.
But there are a couple of kicks
that we would like tp enter on
the record of time. A couple of
weeks ago this paper came out
with the news that an arboretum
is to be established—or planted,
if you like—on the campus near,
the president's house.
Since there would be nothing
like it in this neck of the woods,
we know that it would give Au­burn
a lot of well needed pub­licity
in horticultural circles—and
that would be a good thing. But
while we are busy planting rare
and exotic trees and shrubs, we
wonder if a. few good ole shade
trees couldn't be planted along
the walks between Ag Hill and
Samford and Vet Hill and Sam-ford?
Walking back and forth on
these hot summer days is no joke;
trees would be a hig help.
We once heard that there was
a landscape architect in Auburn
who wanted to cut down all the
trees, cement over everything,
and then paint the cement green.
That would cut down on the work
of mowing the grass, but give us
the trees any day!
Some of those exotic shrubs
planted around several of the
buildings on the campus would
help too to take away that stark
naked appearance that some of
the buildings have. And they
wouldn't be bad camouflage for
Broun hall.
* * *
Our other kick of the week en-volves
the advertising that goes
on at the local theater and at the
theater in Opelika. Prior to this
quarter the movie house here
shied away from the thing, but
now both houses are up to their
necks in the business. It may be
an additional source of revenue,
but pity the poor movie-goer.
* 4 • *
Perhaps it would be O.K. to
run the ads just on Saturday—
one Saturday the ads_were better
than the main feature—but to see
the same ad over and over several
times a week and then for weeks
and months on end is monotonous
to say the least. Last week the
cinema house in the neighboring
town ran a patent medicine ad
that advised the patrons to take
a swig of the stuff at that dis­tressing
time of he month. But
they didn't tell us what to take
at that distressing time when the
ads are flashed on the screen.
* * •
She daintily walked into the
crowded room, and in one smile
swept the attention of the entire
gathering in her direction.
The gentleman nearest her arose
and politely offered her his chair,
She opened her purse and deft­ly
withdrew a small, delicate ci­garette
case.
The pale white cigarettes con­trasted
brilliantly with her well-manicure
nails. —
"Where the hell is a match!"
she screeched lustily above the
gentle din of polite conversation
in the room.
A footman stepped from the
depths of the chamber and sup­plied
the desired article.
The gentle murmur of polite ar­guments
again drifted up toward
the crystal chandeliers.
She took a deep drag off the
weed..
In brief anticipation, as if by
magic, she was supplied with a
china ash tray.
He was vaguely fascinated by
this charming person.
He walked over to her and said,
"Are you by ahy chance related
to Marie Antoinette?"
With her deep, brown eyes she
looked at him—and barked!
She intrigued him.
He determined to pursue their
undying friendship further.
He asked her if she had read
any good books.
She picked up one and threw it
in his face.
It was then that he knew she
loved him—they would never be
happy apart.
And so they became engaged.
One night when he was at her
house they were amusing them­selves
by tossing empty beer bot­tles
at her mother's portrait. He
let slip the chance remark that
he didn't believe in hell.
His bride-to-be turned an ashen
grey.
Her mother's portrait smiled
down on them benevolently and
said, "Don't worry, daughter, in
time he will."

It happened in one of the down­town
stores during a rush. (Hell,
no, not here.) The elevator was
jammed and the cables groaned.
The elevator rose slowly, and
as it neared the third floor, a
piercing scream rent the air. All
eyes focused on a large woman
in a short silver fox jacket, who
wore an injured expression. A
small boy, not yet of school age
stood directly behind her.
"I did it," he announced truc­ulently.
"It was in my face, so I
bit it."

of the Interfraternity Coun­cil.
Bridge games and watching, in
addition to dancing, are ensour-aged.
These dances, under the spon­sorship
of the various campus stu­dent
organizations, have been well
atttended in the past by sailors
from Auburn's Naval Radio Train­ing
School, and by personnel of
Fort Benning.
An attempt to get the women
students better acquainted with
visitors to the campus is being
carried out by representatives of
the Social Life Committee. All
servicemen and visitors are re­quested
to go by the registration
booth at the head of the steps
back of the Samford Hall and of­ficially
register as guests of the
college.
PARATROOPER
DANCE AT GYM
GIVEN BY USO
To the music of a Ft. Benning
dance band, a semi-formal dance,
sponsored by Auburn's USO, will
begin tomorrow night at 9 p.m. in
the old Girls' Gym on Opelika
road. About eighty paratroopers
will be guests of honor, and coeds
will be junior hostesses. Dancing
will last until midnight. •
A late afternoon swimming par­ty
will be held at Chewacla for
the troopers and USO junior host­esses.
Trucks will return early
in the evening.
Troopers themselves will decor­ate
the gym. Colored 'chutes will
be hung from the ceiling and a
spotlight will be focused on the
mirrored ball.
Miss Mary George Lamar,
chairman of junior hostesses, is
in charge of USO arrangements.
She is assisted by a junior hostess
committee headed by Martha Nell
Simpson, with Virginia William­son,
Frances Perry, and Mimi
Simms as members.
Regular USO senior hostesses
will chaperone the dance, and
serve refreshments.
This dance is being given be­cause
Ft. Benning authorities feel
the last USO-paratrooper dance so
successful.

Final Grid Scrimmage Of Summer
Practice Is Fifth In Saturday Series
Locking horns for the fifth time since practice first began
this summer, Auburn's football prospects represented by the
"Green" team on one side and the "White" team on the other,
will clash Saturday in the Auburn Stadium at 5 p.m. to de­termine
whether the practice .sessions will end with a series
victory for the Green team or a tie-up. The Greens have won
two games to the White's one vie
tory, with one tie game having
been played.
Quite a host of spectators are
in order for the game; the Auburn
Alumni Club from Montgomery
will witness the results of Coach
Voyles superhuman efforts direct­ed
towards shaping up some re­semblance
of a varsity football
squad to. represent Auburn this
fall. Following the game, the en­tire
football roster will be enter­tained
at a Chewacla barbecue
given, by Auburn's "Capitol City"
supporters.
As to details of the game, Coach
Voyles came out with praise for a
number of his charges. Discussing
first, members of the backfield,
Voyles pointed to Kuykendall as
one of the best halfbacks in either
backfield, giving him as captain
much credit for the way he
handled the problems of the
Green team. His praise of Wood,
captain of the Whites, was not
one whit less enthusiastic, how­ever,
since the Virginia guard has
assisted his mates to two victo­ries
over the Greens.
Showing great satisfaction over
the wonderful change of pace
demonstrated by Billy Ball, a
young promise, and the excellent
passing of a Georgia boy, James
Watkins, Coach hesitated to go
any further until he has seen
more practice, although he said
^injuries had kept several from
shojving their best form, especial,
ly one sixteen-year-old from
Georgia, Nolan Lang, who is out
with an injured knee, and Clif­ford
Grubbs, a-local boy, suffer­ing
bruises.
Classing Ben' Moss, a vet student
from Georgia, as one of the bet­ter
ends on the field and Arnold
\ Silverberg, a Florida boy as one of
the more outstanding lines­man,
although hard-pressed by an
Alabamian, Buck Stringer, Tor
these honors, Coach still main­tained
that a lot of improvement
was in store for the linesman be­fore
he would be satisfied.
This game winds up football
scrimmage for the men who have
been out all summer, but special
tutoring will be continued for a
number of prospects who entered
practice later in the season.
