HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. DUNCAN ^JlnEL PJLoiijiruwiaDiii GOODBY, DR. GEORGE -k * ^^Qr W^iXUv/ \ss^!U - \^\V^\AAJ >(JAXA^tj • • VOL. LXX ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1945 NUMBER 13 War Chest Workers To Begin Drive On Campus Tuesday API's War Chest drive will get underway next Tuesday when coeds will solicit each class for funds. The two-day campaign will be directed by Barry Graves and Bill O'Brien. The booth at Main Gate will house the solicitors all day Tuesday and Wednesday. Auburn's drive is part of a national campaign for War Chest and Community Chest which is being carried on during October. This includes relief for merchant seamen, USO, allied rehabilitation in devasted countries, Girl and Boy Scouts, Youth Center and emergency relief. "We feel that the War Chest is vitally important to the future peace of the world," Bill O'Brien and Barry Graves said. "Unless we provide adequate food, clothing, and warmth for the peoples of devastated Europe this winter, they may again accept a totalitarian government, which will throw the world into another total conflict." The campus does not have a set quota; all funds collected will be counted in the Auburn total. Dr. B. R. Showalter is co-director of the county drive. THERE'LL BE CANDLES ON HIS CAKE SUNDAY 5 Coeds Run For Miss Auburn, 6 Vie For Homecoming Crown L. M. QONCAhl Hubert Liverman Will Present Concert In Langdon Tuesday Dr. George Leaves Grille On Advice Of Doctor It's goodbye to Auburn for Mr. George Booras, better known as Dr. George. Dr. George whose cheery "Hi 'ya pal" echoed many times throughout the Auburn Grille each day has left his position of professor of Grillology at the advice of his doctor who states that he has been working much too hard. From here he went to Montgomery Monday to become the night manager of the City Cafe. Dr. George said that he surely hated to leave Auburn and all the students, but that he wanted all of his old friends to drop in at the City Cafe whenever in Montgomery. "I got along with my boss just fine," said Dr. George, "and I don't want anybody to think I didn't. But tlhe work was getting me down and I've got to take it easy for a while." Auburn students have long ago grown attached to the familiar sight of Dr. George praising Auburn and agreeing with all of them when they griped about quizzes or had trouble with affairs of the heart. Whenever any one was in the dumps or feeling blue, they could always be sure of a cheerful chat with Dr. George. Dr. George is leaving Auburn and we're going to miss him—but not forget him. ON THE CAMPUS Virginia Williamson, business manager of the '46 Glomerata, asks each organization wanting space in this year's publication to contact her this week at 184. * * * Publications Board will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Samford Hall. * * * The Plainsman staff will meet at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, in the Plainsman office. All persons interested in working on the paper are invited. The two hours were set in order to avoid conflicts with other meetings set for Wednesday. F r a n z Liszt's Sonata, which represents t h e height of development of piano compositions, will be t h e principal work on t h e p r o g r am of Tuesday evening's piano concert b y Professor J o h n Hubert Liverman. The concert is to b e t h e only o ne for piano during the entire season, and an overflow crowd is anticipated in Langdon Hall to hear the talented new professor. Professor Liverman has selected a varied program of works, including compositions from several countries. He even believes that "there should be one American work in every concert." Franz Liszt was chosen because he is unquestionably the greatest pianist who ever lived, and his Sonata because of its remarkable influence upon the world of music. Richard Wagner once admitted openly that many of his operas made use of themes from Liszt's Sonata. One of the amazing sidelights on the Sonata is that it contains a fugue in the middle seotion on the main theme of the Sonata. The concert Tuesday night is to be held in Langdon Hall, and the public is cordially invited to attend. The time is 8:15 and there will be no admission charge. Concer^rogram The concert will be in three parts. The first will include Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Bach- Busoni; Fantasia in C Minor, W. A. Mozart; and Sonata in B Minor, Franz Liszt. The second portion of the program will be two Brahms Intermezzi. The E Flat Opus 177, No. 1 and the B Flat Opus 117, No. 2 make up the first Intermezzo. The second will be Rhapsody in G Minor, Opus 79. Nocturne in F Sharp Major by Frederick Chopin; Banjo-Picker, John Powell; Jeux D'eau, M. Ravel; and Concert Etude in F Sharp, M. Moxzkowski will complete the concert. Although Mr. Liverman does not have any of his own compositions on the program, Professor Liverman, who recently joined the young music department of API's School of Architecture and The Arts, has plans that will put Auburn's music school in the front ranks of Southern colleges. Before coming to Auburn, he taught at the New York Institute of Musical Arts, the Riverdrive School of Music, and Columbia University's Teachers College. WSGA To Install New House Officers At Monday Meeting In Social Center Separate elections have been held by each women's dormitory for president and vice-president. The new officers will be sworn in at the WSGA meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at Social Center. They will be given an examination on Co-Eetiquette, handbook for women students.

Pacific Cyclone Takes Degree From API Calmly Monday Nighf Lt. Gen. Holland McTyeire Smith, closing the speech he made in response to the citation and award of the doctor of laws degree Monday night, said: "This is the grandest, happiest moment of my lfe. Never before have I stood before an audience which I believed to be more kind, and more considerate to a rambling,old- man." The rambling, old man, .the Pa "No Number Please/' Hits Auburn Students by Harold Edward Landry The striking of workers of the Bell Telephone Company affected Auburn students in quite varying ways. Some were angry,, some were sympathetic, and others did not know about it until latter. Some of the opinions of students about the strike are as follows: "I saw no use for them to strike for so short a time." "Everyone was inconvenienced." "I think they did it mainly to show the nation they could cripple the communication system." And shifting to the other extreme: "I think it was a good idea." "They seem to have a very low stipend anyway." "Either the costs of living have to come down or the wages of the common man have to be increased and create another inflation period." Several students were not permitted to call home when they could have had a long chat with Mother. Dating was out of the question the earlier part of the evening. When the operator asked if •the call was urgent, there was nothing to do but replace the phone, although some deemed it "urgent." It seems we have come to look upon the telephone as one of the taken for granted" luxuries of life. Art Guild To Draw Up Organizations' Posters The Art Guild announces poster service for all organizations and individuals on the campus. Flat rates fixed according to the size and number of lettered lines will be announced later. Meetings of the Art Guild are held the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Vivian Duncan presides. Betty Jones was appointed membership chairman at the first meeting this quarter. cific Cyclone, the father of amphibious warfare, the man second in command of the United States Marine Corps, sat down. He rested his head on his chin as he had done throughout the ceremony (except to laugh when Col. T. D. Samford, reading a war correspondent's description of a "soldier from head to foot," said that he had never looked at Gen. Smith's feet.) Gen. Smith was applauded by a former professor, Dr. George Pe-trie, old and new friends. Praises Enlisted Men He had spoken briefly on the war in the Pacific and paid tribute to the enlisted men who fought and died. He apologized to the Marine in t he audience who mhe had intended asking to sit on the stage. He was Corp. A. A. Hill, Jr., whose parents live at 417. West Magnolia. For 169 years, he said, the Marines had lived as subordinates of the Navy. Then came the Pearl Harbor attack and we were not prepared. "That was high time somebody got howlin' mad," he said. At that time the Marines had 1,000 officers. In four years the figure was increased to 25,000 officers with 450,000 enlisted men. "Japs Want Atomic Bomb" "The one thing the Japanese want," Gen. Smith said, "is the atomic bomb. That's all they want." The "baboon," a term he uses eat red meat, doesn't bleed, and shows an inferiority complex by pulling out a hand grenade when (Continued on page six) Advanced ROTC Plans Approved By Army Advanced courses of the ROTC were reactivated on Oct. 3 by the War Department. The plan offers a series of financial inducements for the veterans of World War TL and civilian students who have completed the basic ROTC course. The advanced course requires two years. Those who qualify will be given a monetary allowance equal to the value of the garrison ration while enrolled. In addition, while attending a six-week ROTC camp at .the end of the first year of the advanced course, students will receive pay of the seventh grade enlisted man. A uniform of the officer's type or commutation therefor will be furnished. Pay under this plan will be in addition to .that received under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Field Artillery and Corps of Engineers have been assigned to Auburn. Further details will be announced as they are received from the Fourth Service Command Headquarters, which is responsible for the operation of the plan. Acree Will Head ODK Omicron Delta Kappa elected Jimmy Acree, Jacksonville, Fla., president at its meeting Monday night. in the presence of ladies, doesn'fl"" The only other officer chosen at the same time was Bob Kirby, Birmingham, who will serve as secretary-treasurer for the coming year. Students May Vote For Two At Polls At Gate Or On Vet Hill Thursday Eleven candidates have been nominated for the titles of Misses Auburn and Homecoming in the forthcoming campus election next Thursday, Oct. 11. Those nominated for Miss Auburn and their sponsors are Yvonne Wallace, Delta Sigma Phi; Betty Morgan, Theta Chi; Donna Sims, Dorm II; Grace Tonge, Dorm I; and Helen Wal-den, Phi Omega Pi. For Miss Homecoming the nominees are Betty Blaylock, Alpha Tau Omega; Betty Bledsoe, Kappa Alpha; Dot McWilliams, Alpha Gamma Delta; Arlene Davis, Dorm I; Margaret Bledsoe, Theta Upsilon; and Jean Gauntt, Delta Zeta. These candidates were selected as the finalists for t he titles at a joint meeting of WSGA, Pan- Hellenic, Inter-fraternity Council, and Student Executive - Cabinet held last Monday. No Ac Books Needed Their names will appear on the ballot for the general election Thursday and each undergraduate student is entitled to one vote for Miss Auburn and one vote for Miss Homecoming. No student ticket books will be required for the balloting. Two polls will be maintained on the campus,from 9 a.m. until 5 pjn. One will be located at the main gate and one on Vet Hill from 9 'til 12. It will be moved to the rear of Samford at 1. In case of rain, the polls will be located in the Student Center and in Samford Hall. Then General Election rules will rules will prevail. No can didate may solicit votes other than by personal approach. Any use of printed matter, or any form of free gifts subjects the candidate to disqualification. Candidates May Vote The candidates must remain at least 50 fet from the polls at all times except that they are allowed to come to the polls for the purpose of voting. Any person attempting to vote at both polls or otherwise vote unfairly shall have their voting privilege removed, and their name and social fraternity or sorority published in the Plainsman. The .title of Miss Auburn is the highest social distinction an Auburn coed may receive since she is actually the queen of the campus. The title is not purely honorary though since she annually presents the winner of the Wilbur Hutsell-ODK cake race with a cup and a kiss.. Other Honors She also helps out at other social funstions throughout the year and entertains visiting celebrities. Her picture always heads the Beauty section of the Glomerata. Miss Homecoming who is elected under the sponsorship of Blue Key fraternity rules over the Homecoming festivities each year and is presented with a bouquet of flowers at the half of the football game by Dr. Duncan. She presides over the annual Homecoming Ball and helps Miss Auburn in social activities. Dr. Duncan To Have Birthday Sunday; 10th As API Prexy Sunday Dr. Luther Noble Duncan will celebrate another birthday, his tenth as president of API. • He began his duties in 1935 without fanfare or demonstration, being content to slip quietly into the harness and begin work immediately. Since that time he- has devoted much time to the solving of Auburn's problem of financial support. He steered Auburn out of •the depression period and through a war, without losing sight of Auburn's purpose, maintaining a .program that is for the training of scientific leaders, agricultural research and agricultural extension. Dr. Duncan likes athletics, especially Auburn athletics. Hates like fury to see her lose. He once played on a championship baseball team in Franklin county. He likes to hunt quail and was a crack shot in his younger days. Apparently never in a hurry, he is a good listener and puts his consultants at ease. He values the opinion of others, and seeks them. His language is clear and simple. -Spinach he does not like, but is fond of turnip greens. He reads .the Bible, the writings of Thomas Jefferson,' and spends hours over economic reports. He likes statistics. No matter how small a favor, he never fails to acknowledge it. He believes in plenty of sleep, and gets it. Players Pick Cast For "Blithe Spirit" At Tryouts In Y-Hut With casting completed after Tuesday night tryouts, "Blithe Spirit," this quarter's play, is now being rehearsed by Director Telfair B. Peet and the Auburn Players. Characters are Edith, a maid, played by Dot Harper; Ruth, Al-mena Fletcher; Charles, R. L. Stapleton.

WHOM SO PROUDLY WE HAILED Auburn was proud host Monday to one of the most outstanding men ever to be graduated here, Maj. Gen. Holland M. Smith, USMC. He was given the highest degree API awards. General Smith, whose soldiers took his initials to mean "Howlin' Mad," is the top U. S. professional of amphibious warfare. He laid the groundwork for amphibious training of practically all American units, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. He has been described as an enthusiastic, thoughtful, hard-driving man who never hesitates to admit his own mistakes. He fought with his men, fumed and scolded, but still laughs. On Makin he came upon a young lieutenant firing madly at nothing visible. "Son," he said, "if you don't quit that wild shooting. I'm going to take your gun away from you." When General Smith was training his men in the Caribbeans, he threw in his course in Marine philosophy: "Don't ever forget you are the best fighting man in the world." Auburn did not forget. General Smith now holds its honorary doctor of laws degree as a reminder. DIG DOWN DEEP AND GIVE The final appeal of the National War Chest will begin in Auburn Tuesday. The average student very likely is little interested in the drive for funds here. He probably considers this is a town matter and that he has no part in it. This is a mistaken notion. Every Auburn student has a real stake in the National War Chest. A portion of the funds collected this month will go to Europe to help alleviate starvation and to prevent widespread disease of the war-torn ravaged countries which most of our veterans saw only a few short months or weeks ago. People with gnawing pangs of hunger in the pits of their stomachs and with bodies ravaged by disease make easy marks for would-be dictators. If we sit idly by and view disinterestedly famine and pestilence in Europe this winter, we have^no one but ourselves to blame if another crop of Hitlers and Mussolinis rise to power on the continent and plunge us into another war which, will make the fighting of the one just concluded in vain. $ It is to be hoped that Auburn students will dig down deep and give all they can during the final War Chest appeal here. If they hate war as we believe they do and want to protect themselves and the generation to follow them in a few years from another world-wide conflagration, they will respond to the call for con-trbutions. IN THAT NEW CONSTITUTION? Veterans are enrolled in every class. Some are not older than their classmates. Some are. Several are married and a few have children. At present their only representation in the Executive Cabinet is through one of the five special and twelve regular members. The five special representatives are regularly elected presidents of the four classes and the WSGA president. The twelve regular members include three WE LIKE TO POP OUR CHEWING GUM, BUT— All kinds of students go to the picture shows. There are popcorn-eaters, gigglers, howlers, lovers, and, occasionally a few who try to focus attention on the screen. It is this minority, with the townspeople, who deserve consideration. The Tiger Theater is not a Mickey Mouse Club. Nor does it belong to a certain football team which name it bears. It is a place open where the public may (for a fee) see a show. Since students are not cashing in on the returns, they should refrain from exhibitions which would detract from the show. IT'S OURS TO CARRY NOW We don't like it. Even if the Southeastern Conference's decision did make two Auburn football players eligible, we still don't like the results of the special meeting in Birmingham. The real purpose of the meeting—changing the rules in order to let veterans still be eligible for varsity sports after they transfer to other schools—was defeated. Several other points were cleared, however. The retroactive clause of the no-transfer rule was revoked. Now any transfer veteran who was enrolled in his new school before last May may play varsity sports. Students who had not played on any intercollegiate team before the war may become eligible for varsity after a year at the new college. Also students who attended schools which do not now have intercollegiate sports may transfer and still Play- These changes put the veteran on equal footing with every other player in the Southeastern Conference. He is no longer discriminated against for having gone to war; neither is he given the slightest consideration. Other football conferences do consider the ex-servicemen. They even allow transfers to play without waiting a year to be eligible. The Southeastern Conference was equally lenient last football season* But in December the pre-war transfer rules (which are still in effect) were applied. Auburn, along with eight other members of the conference, voted to revert to the old rules. Only Vandy, Tulane, and Georgia Tech opposed the move. Then, when an actual case confronted Auburn, school officials began to work for the same rules other conferences have. In May when the question came up for reconsideration, the rule was not only retained, but the retroactive feature was added. Since that time the sports writers of the South, especially Ed Danforth and Sam Adams, the Alabama Legion, and Tulane, Vandy, Tech, and Auburn have worked for a transfer-anywhere rule in the SEC. The defeat in Birmingham two weeks ago only made them more determined. They have not yet given up. At the regular meeting in December, the question will probably come before the SEC again. It is true that this will not affect many veterans. But each time an ex-serviceman is ineligible it hurts each school in the SEC. It is up to—it should be up to—the student bodies of each school to campaign for the more liberal rules. As a beginning every student at Auburn might write this week to one friend at another school in the Southeastern Conference about the rule. Whenever an Auburn student goes home, he might talk to the influential men about the rule. The Auburn student body might send letters to the presidents of the schools on the other side. Letters could be written to other student newspapers. And even the opposition might be convinced if the right arguments were presented. Auburn students still can carry the ball for the veterans. It will take time and energy, but it will be worthwhile. Editor's note: The Plainsman reserves this column for printing any letter from any reader as long as it is signed with the correct name, contains no libel or slander, and is readable. As in this case, names are sometimes not used. The editor, however, must know who writes the letter. Dear Editor: What has become of the Auburn Spirit? .Are the students too blase to do a little yelling at football games and do the cheerleaders believe their only duty is to dress up in pretty suits and watch the games? In Birmingham Saturday many people must have" gained the impression, as I did, that Auburn students didn't care whether the Tigers won or lost. At times it seemed they must have thought they were at a wake instead of a football game. Once in a while the cheerleaders woud call for a "War Eagle." I 'believe they did timidly "request" the crowd to give out once or twice with some other yell which fizzled almost into silence. The couple of hundred Mississippi State students, ably led in mass cheering by a keen corps of cheerleaders, made Auburn look sick. And the Auburn student cheering WAS sick. Two or three times one of the cheerleaders would ask in a rather weak voice through his megaphone, "Where Is That Auburn Spirit?" No one volunteered to tell him where it was. I hope somebody finds it and brings it back to life. Auburn used to have some pretty good yells. Evidently the present cheerleaders think they are too old-fashioned and undignified. At none of the three football games this year have I heard them given. Perhaps it would be a good idea for someone to dig them up and teach them to a few of the freshmen. That might help as what little yelling was done in Birmingham was by the "rats." There probably won't be very many students making the long trip to New Orleans for the Tulane game.- However, the following Saturday, Oct. 27„ the Tigers take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta and no doubt a number of Au-burnites will witness that game. If they don't improve their organized cheering (and if the cheerleaders don't get on the ball by that time), it will be a keen disappointment to about 25,000 spectators who annually jam Grant Field to see the renewal of the traditional Tech-Auburn football rivalry. The Auburn cheering alone has always been worth the price of admission to . the Tech game. Cordially yours, ONE WHO YELLED JAYWALKING With THORNTON and LANEY The west stands at Legion Field were higher than we suspected. We asked the man sitting next to us how he was enjoying th game, and he said, "What game? I'm on a non-stop flight to Chicago." When the usher got us halfway up, he said, "You'll have to go the rest of the way by yourselves. From here on my ears pop." It wasn't so bad, though, especially when the clouds broke, 'cause then we could see eye-to-eye with the twenty-second floor of the Tutwiler. If the unthirsty individual in front of us hadn't jumped up and hollered "Joe" every two minutes, we'd a swore that were were in an open-air church.

Rat Reuben Writes Home Dear Ma and All: It went and turned cold all of a sudden up here the other week, Ma, and I caught myself one of the worse head colds I've ever had. Course I put my long underwear on after it turned cold, but I was too late. I just felt so bad I couldn't study at all; so I went to class not knowing no thin. I told one of my professors why I didn't know my lesson. He sure was comforting to me. He said not to feel bad about it cause I at least had something in my head. Ain't none of my professors got head colds. Ma, there's one thing I've learned this new quarter. You remember that I told you in one of my letters last summer that I didn't know what BMOC stood for. Well I asked one of the fellows who's called a BMOC what it stood for. He said it meant Big Man of the Campus. I don't think it means a giant or anything like that cause the fellow I talked to wasn't nothing but a little bitty shrimp. What it does mean, I think, s that a BMOC is the fellow who has enough money to buy a lots of fancy pins to wear all over his shirt, and the one who can collect the most keys, and the fellow who can keep the most girls guessing, and the fellow what gets into everything that's going on. I'm goin to try my best to be one. If Pa will let me join the Odd Fellows and the Red Men and the Woodmen when I come home Christmas that will give a lots of pins and stuff to wear on my Tee-shirt. And, too, those kind of pins don't cost as much as the kind they sell down here. And then if I can get Judge Simpkins to learn me about politics I'll just about be ready for a membership in the BMOC club. * * * These pep meetings they have down here sure are lots of fun, Ma, but I don't know how come them to call them pep meetings. Instead of giving me pep they don't do nothing but wear -me out. All they do is yell and sing. They call it practicing for the football games, but some of the fellows what's been to the games tell me that best yelling and singing is done at the practices. * * * But, Ma, one of the things what I hate for Sis to see when y'all come to Auburn for Homecoming is the girl cheerleaders down here. You know I wrote you last summer about how some of the coeds dress, or don't dress down here. Some of them don't wear as much on the streets as grandma wears to bed. Well, that ain't nothing to what goes on when these women cheerleaders get what they call hot. They kick up their legs and turn tumblesorts and stand on their heads with their short skirts upside down, and I just don't see how the folk at a football game ever keep their minds on what's going on among the players. One of the cheerleaders wiggles so until that's what they call her. I sure do enjoy the pep meetings out in the open, there's so much to see and everything, but still I hate for Sis to see these girl cheerleaders carrying on like they do. It just ain't nice for girls to see. I'll bet Pa will enjoy the game though, even if he don't under understand what the two teams are doing. * * * Maybe I ough to tell y'all a little something about football before you come to Homecoming. One team gets at one end of the place what they have marked off with white stripes, and the other team gets at the other. Then one fellow on one team kicks the football down to the fellows on the other team, what tries to bring the ball back to the other end of the playground what they call the goal posts. Then they start playing, but Pa will think they are fighting unless I tell him better. They try to knock each other down by throwing they bodies at each other, and they push each other in the faces, and sometimes all the players on both the teams jump on the man who's got the ball, and they all pile up in a mess so you can't tell nothing about what's happening. Then a man what they call the referee gets the players unscrambled and starts the game again. * * * Sometimes he gives the ball to one side, and then to another. If a player can't get anywhere running with the ball, he just throws it down the length of the playground hard as he can, and then it's a case of ketch who ketch can. Finally somebody takes the ball across the goal line. The team that does this the most wins the game. While they are playing a man will holler out First Down, Second Down, Third Down, and Fourth Down.

Students will be admitted free upon presentation of student activities book. Miss Dawson was first attracted to airplanes as a child when her mother got the Chamber of Commerce to sponsor Mackey Solen-berger's booster plane for the little town of Mission, Tex. As soon as tihe early planes would accept passengers, she started traveling by air. She was the first American girl to visit Yucatan, Mex., by plane. Miss Dawson received her master's and doctor's degrees from the University of Kentucky. She has studied at the University of Mexico and the Sorbonne, and taught literature at the University of Kentucky for 10 years. Her interest in world affairs has taken her to all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and to South America. She is the author of a novel, "She Came to the Valle," which is ithe story of her mother's life in the lower valley of the Rio Grande. Other speakers and their topics will be: Archibald Gilchrist, Sale, Victoria, Australia, "International Security in the Pacific;" Thorn A. B. Ditton, Fort Collins, Colo., "Making International Organization Effective;" O. L. Mcpherson, Vulcan, Alberta, Canada, "Maintaining World Trade and a High Standard of Living."

Anne Likes Cherry Pie, Jitterbugging And Navy Uniforms by Dama Wills If you hear strains of Harry James' "Flash" in Dorm III, you probably will trace it to- the room of Anne Bingham, freshman representative to WSGA. She really goes for that hep music cause she's a jitterbug of the highest order, but she also has plenty of records in her collection that are on the sweet side. Anne is taking lab tech, but on the side she finds plenty of time for extra-curricular activities such as glee club and sports of all types. In fact she's so good at pingpong that she won the girls' tournament held during the summer quarter. She approves very highly of the Navy moving onto the Auburn campus because she has two brothers who follow the fleet When asked which type of male appeals to her most, she replied she was partial to blonds, bru-nets, and redheads. Though you'd never believe it by looking at her trim figure, she's wild about cherry pie and banana pudding and consumes these delicacies on all.possible occasions. To sum her up, Anne seems to be a typical all-round coed of the type Auburn is both proud and glad to have. Mr. Liverman will play at Ope-lika in a concert Oct. 13, for the District Convention of the Music Study Clubs of Alabama. Composers of classical, romantic and modern schools will be represented.

Madame George Sande is one of the most tempestuous and emotional in history. As long as lovers love and as long as dreamers dream, their story will be remembered, as will the musical compositions Chopin created during the course of his fiery experience. It is this story, together with the bitter struggle between Sand and Chopin's music master for supremacy over the will and genius of this great composer, that forms the basis of Columbia Pictures' Technicolor production, "A Song to Remember," starring Paul Muni as Eisner, the music master, Merle Oberon as Sand, and featuring Cornel Wilde as Chopin, coming to the Tiger Theatre on Sunday. "A Song to Remember," is said to be magnificently mounted in glorious Technicolor. It contains 18 compositions from the scores upon scores of tuneful products composed by this most prolific of composers. With its music and all its complicated ingredients of a colorful era, men and women, places and things, this picture was two-years in the making, with many a head-acre over research and ithe collection of authentic properties. Pianos Hard To Find One item, which may teem minor and shall to anyone who is unfamiliar with the care and precision necessary in a period picture to avoid the criticisms of historians and interior decorators, was the search for an old pianoforte, the kind made popular by Liszt, one of Chopin's contemporaries, and adapted by Pleyel, great impresario and piano dealer of the time. This alone took months, we are told. And so it went with other items. Casting is always troublesome, and in a picture such as "A Song to Remember," peopled with famous personalities, the difficulties are tripled. But each role was cast by Columbia with the greatest of patience and care, and from reports of audiences, who have already seen the picture, this is one of its strongest points. More Oscars? Paul Muni, as Professor Eisner, Merle Oberon, as Sand, Cornel Wilde as Chopin, are all said to give the peromances of their careers. Already-there is "Oscar" talk for all of them.

A notice to the same effect has been received also from Earl M. MacCowan, of Chapman, secretary of the Alabama Committee on Selection. Application forms and information are now in preparation. Dr. Aydelotte's announcement in full follows: The first post-war elections will be held in Dec, 1946. Applications should reach the secretary of the appropriate state committee of selection on or before November 2. Scholars-elect will enter the University of Oxford in October, 1947. In addition to ordinary appointments the Rhodes Trustees have created a limited number of War Service Scholarships for which men will be eligible who at any time since Oct. 1, 1940, were between the ages of 19 and 25, and who have completed at least one year of war service. Thirty-two War Service Scholarships will be offered each year for at least two, and possibly for three years. For the purposes of the Rhodes Scholarships, committees will be instructed to recognize as war service not merely membership in the armed forces, but also various kinds of civilian war work, such as scientific research, education, government service, and positions in industry or agriculture which contributed to the war effort. Any work will be considered as war service for which draft boards have granted deferment. Candidats for War Service Scholarships will be required to have completed one year (instead of the customary two years) of college or university work before applying. For appointment to a War Service Scholarship the regulations except as regards to age, marraige, and the amount of college training required, will be the same as for regular appointments. For regular Rhodes Scholarships men eligible who were born on or after Oct. 1, 1922 and before October 1, 1928. For War Service Scholarships men will be eligible who were born on or after Oct. 1, 1915 and before Oct. 1, 1928. The stipend of a Rhodes Scholarship is fixed at 400 pounds per year. A Rhodes Scholar should be prepared to supplement this stipend by at least 50 pounds from his own resources. Appointments are made for two years in the first instance with a possible extension for a third year for a man who presents a definite plan of study for that period satisfactory to his college and to the Rhodes Trustees. A memorandum of regulations with application blank attached is now in preparation. Copies will be supplied to all colleges and universities or may be obtained from secretaries of state committees of selection or from my office.

Forestry Courses Added To School of Agriculture New courses in forestry are being offered in three fields this year. They were made possible by funds appropriated in the Alabama Legislature, which also appropriated money for a new forestry building and modern equipment. The degree course leading to a bachelor of'' science in forestry prepares graduates for professional positions in several fields of forestry. The degree course in agriculture with major in forestry is designed for men preparing for county agency work in counties having high timber acreages, and for those preparing for positions requiring a knowledge of agriculture and forestry. The ranger course is especially for boys preparing for work with the departments or divisions of forestry of the states. Applicants must meet the standard college entrance requirements. Credit in courses for rangers may be applied later for a degree in forestry. Other jobs in forestry are: research workers or as teachers; administrators with the U. S. Forest Service or the state forestry departments; foresters with railroads, timber operators, banks, loan companies, paper or pulp manufacturers; and operators of wood-utilization plants. Recent statistics show that three per cent of the nation's forestry graduates received their training in the south, which produces 58 per. cent of the annual timber growth."

There are more honest to goodness men on our campus now than the girls of this institution have seen for some years. Of course, lots of those nice fellows are married, but it's a treat to look at them. A good many of the men who've returned to Auburn, and those here for the first time too, are changed men. They've been to -war and seen enough in a few months, or days, to last a lifetime. This key-ed way of living may not have had any ill effects on some. But there will be a lot of veterans on our campus who have gone through some pretty stiff stuff. They may be a little shaky at first about getting into the swing of things in school, as well as in social and religious life. * * * Times, things, and people have changed. No one thinks or acts exactly as he did before the war. He can't know if those who were his friends once will still take him in as one of the crowd. It's up to the old timers to make them feel at ease. Those who stayed at home will be uncertain as to how the returning GIs want to be treated. Although many loved ones have gone to war, it still hasn't been the same as doing the actual fighting. So, much compromise and consideration must be given by both those at home and those just returned in order that all may enjoy that acknowledged human right, the pursuit of happiness. Many adjustments will have to take place before anything like normality can be reached. - PERSONAL CARE FOR YOUR CLOTHES I Our AYR-MOR Compact M a c h i n e Gives Y ou Quicker and Better Dry Cleaning Service.

HILL'S BOOTERY This goes for new freshmen, too. Getting a college degree is no small matter and cannot be taken lightly. But while acquiring that long sought for degree they can't afford to forget other phases of campus life. Taking part in different organizations and activities is also necessary. For every one there is a place under the Auburn sun. But you have to go out after it. The increased enrollment is not only causing confusion among the students. Many of the professors are having to double up on the number and size of their classes. Most of them were already overworked, so they too need a bit of sympathetic understanding. * * * Auburn, the loveliest village itself, is getting some reverberations from this larger student population, too. Everywhere the natives go, they find school chil-lun springing up like mushrooms. But they don't mind too much for without the college,, professors, and students, there wouldn't be very much left of Sweet Auburn. This IS Sweet Auburn, where it never fails to rain every weekend— it pours for football games— where a farmer's son can be class president, and a woman can edit the college paper.

Bright fall colors decorated the rooms and added a gypsy-like air. Good luck was the theme of Delta Zeta's Tuesday night tea. Lucky pennies adorned the name cards which Louise Torbert gave to each guest. Margaret Snead presided over the wishing well. From this each rushee pulled in a fortune. Green and white color schemes were followed throughout the rooms. Four-leaf clovers were used ito decorate, as were ever-grns. A gigantic horseshoe with good luck inscribed on it framed the doorway.

The railroad freight rate for an average ton per mile hauled is less than one cent; and the rate per passenger per mile is an average of about two cents. The wear and tear on shoe leather for a mile walk would probably exceed the rail rate for an average ton of freight or a passenger for the same distance. When some one says "high freight and passenger rates," consider the above facts. There's not a better bargain in the whole world than in U.S.railroad service. Today, with high operating costs, freight and passenger -rates per mile average 16% and 46% less, respectively, than 2 5 years ago.

THE OLD RELIABLE YESTERDAY TODAY TOMOR RO W Page Six THE PLAINSMAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10,1945 Maroons Hold Tigers Scoreless Harper Davis, Mississippi Back, Totes Pigskin For Two Touchdowns by Buel Johnson Harper Davis was the boy whom everyone was talking about after the Mississippi State-Auburn game in Legion Field Saturday. He made the difference between the two teams and is on his way to be the making of the Maroons. A back, he returned to State just in time to play for the Auburn game. Davis scored twice, once in the second period on a right-end sweep which netted 61 yards and a touchdown, and again in the third quarter when he climaxed a 43 yard drive by a four-yard end run for the score. In the 22 times he carried the ball, Davis made 166 yards. t Auburn kicked off and Hal France of State made a 28 yard return. After Robinson made a quick kick on the third down, Auburn took possession on her own 42. Yearout fumbled on the first play and Dub Garrett, State, fell on the ball. Robinson's low pass over the line was intercepted by John Liptak, API. Liptak was away and carried the ball to State's ten yard line where Hal France caught him. Here a seven-man line being used by the States befuddled Au-, burn. Lang and Yearout went into the line without gaining an inch. Mutt Floyd caught Kuykendall for a five-yard loss. The fourth down was a pass to Garra-more which was broken up by France. Harper Davis came in and took over on State's 36. On a spinner, Floyd picked "up six. Davis skirted left end and out back, picking up six yards. He then went around right end for 12 yards with Nolan Lang making a beautiful tackle. Bramlett then went over right guard for 19 yards, putting the ball on Auburn's 21-yard line. The right side of the Auburn line (Garramore, Smalley, and Snell) stopped the Staters cold on the next few plays and took possession of the ball. Watkins punted and Davis returned 26 yards to the Tigers' 36. Auburn went into a six-two-three defense and this time Frank Powell played some bang-up ball at guard, being in on the tackling of every one of the next two or three plays. Barry Nobles intercepted Wat-kins' pass. Davis hit the line and gained nothing. Snell then stopped Bramlett cold. Kuyken-dall intercepted Davis' pass on the last play of the period on Auburn's 22. Norman punted 43 and Davis returned the ball to Miss. State's 45. On the next play Burke Du-puy broke through and recovered a low pass from center. Abraham and Hataway made two yards, and the Tigers lost their advantage when Graham Brom-lett intercepted Abraham's pass intended for Sam McClurkin at State's 35. McClurkin stopped Davis after a yard gain. On a reverse Noblin moved the ball up to the 39. Davis showed the best broken field rusning of the day. State took over again after Norman's 18-yard punt that went out on State's 45. Rhoades made three yards and Robinson passed to Howton for 14 yards with Dan Hataway tackling him. Nobles ran Auburn's left end for 13 yards, putting the ball on Auburn's 27. Davis came in and got 20 yards around Auburn's end. Davis fumbled and Liptak recovered. Watkins punted 40 yards after the Tigers made their first down, a pass from Watkins to Hataway, good for 13 yards. Kuykendall made six yards thus ending the half. Garrett kicked off 10 yards with Yearout returning 13 yards. Watkins punted on third down, the ball going out on State's 41. Davis gained eight yards in three tries. Nobles punted over the goal. Two plays lost five yards for the Tigers and Watkins punted 47 with Davis hauling the ball back 10 yaijds to Auburn's 43, where the Maroons started their record touchdown drive. Bromlett got three and Nobles 13 at right guard. Davis took the ball to Auburn's 16 in two plays. Nobles gained two and Davis knifed through left tackle for 11 yards. He lost a yard at left tackle and then went through left guard for a touchdown. Burress converted. Auburn took the ball to mid-field with a pass from Kuykendall to McClurkin good for 23 yards, on the last three plays of the third quarter. Yearout passed for eight yards to Kuykendall who made it a first down at State's 30. Nolan Lang bucked to State's 26 where the Tigers were stopped cold. Floyd interectepd Kuykendall's pass and two plays later Lang recovered Robinson's fumble on State's 44.

With College The date for the election of Misses Auburn and Homecoming was decided upon at the first meeting of the student Executive Cabinet for the fall quarter. Plans for the revision of the Student Constitution were discussed and the succession of Elaine Braswell as the sophomore representative to the cabinet for All Durrance was announced. Reports were made by the chairmen of the various committees. Zombie Lauderdale Social committee chairman announced that the Administration is willing to underwrite a guarantee of one thousand dollars for the purpose of obtaining a well known orchestra to play at Auburn. As chairman of the rat cap committee Lauderdale also announced that rat caps would be on sale at the Co-op Booksttore. Laney as head of the Invitations announced that invitations would go on sale in about two or three weeks. Thornton reporting for the Elections committee stated that he had tentatively set the date for the forthcoming Campus election as Thursday, Oct. 11. He also announced that nominations were due in on Monday, Oct. 8, with the preliminary eliminations held Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock in Broun Auditorium. President McLeod proposed that since Al Durrance, sophomore representative to the cabinet, was out of school for this quarter, Frat Touch Football Starts Monday Under New IM Board Point System The Intramural Sports Board has, in a series of meetings, organized the sports program for this quarter. The point system has been adopted and will be carried out in the coming football season, which "starts Tuesday. This system gives two points to a team winning a game, one for a tie, and none for a loss. At the end of the season the team in each league with the highest number of points qualifies for the three-team playoff. To be eliminated in these playoffs a team has to be defeated twice. All pledges are eligible to play With the Fraternity which they have joined provided they pledge before the Leagues begin this season; if, however, they do not pledge before the Leagues begin playing, they are ineligible for two weeks after which they may partake in all Intramural sports. All managers are urged to have eligibility lists in by Wednesday afternoon. The independents and Navy teams should also have their lists in as soon as possible. Any Navy men belonging to a Frat will be eligible to participate in the touch football program. As the point system has been adapted, no two Frats will be organized into a single team this season. Other rules and regulations have been drawn up and adopted. The Leagues are as follows: League I ' League II League III OTS PiKA AP SAE PDT KA SC SPE AGR DSP PiKT KS Elaine Braswell, vice-president of the sophomore class succeed to the post. A committee consisting of all chairmen and Bill 'OBrien, was appointed to suggest a tentatively revised constitution for consideration by the Cabinet. LCA ATO TC SN The schedule will be drawn up by Thursday afternoon and may be obtained at Coach Evans' office. If any new men should be added to your team, please have Rob Williams place them on your elegibility lists. We are expecting a good football season this quarter so please cooperate with the officials who will be appointed when the schedule is drawn up. GEN. SMITH (Continued from page one) he has a loaded gun. They lie to one another, to themselves, to the world. They cannot stand up against the American soldier, he said. "Now we have prostrate the only two nations who could threaten us, but we have nothing to say about the treatment they are to receive. A million men don't make wars, they fight them. They should have something to say about the making of wars. Men Who Hate War "If there is a class who do not want war, who hate war, who know war means misery, hunger, thirst, disease, wounds, death, it is the men who fought. For about a half-million men I can say that they will have something—more than ever—to do with the making of wars." This war, he said, was.fought with weapons of the last war. It would be that way next time unless the nation prevents another war by being prepared for one. He suggested that a small army of well-trined officers and men be maintained.

LXX ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1945 NUMBER 13 War Chest Workers To Begin Drive On Campus Tuesday API's War Chest drive will get underway next Tuesday when coeds will solicit each class for funds. The two-day campaign will be directed by Barry Graves and Bill O'Brien. The booth at Main Gate will house the solicitors all day Tuesday and Wednesday. Auburn's drive is part of a national campaign for War Chest and Community Chest which is being carried on during October. This includes relief for merchant seamen, USO, allied rehabilitation in devasted countries, Girl and Boy Scouts, Youth Center and emergency relief. "We feel that the War Chest is vitally important to the future peace of the world," Bill O'Brien and Barry Graves said. "Unless we provide adequate food, clothing, and warmth for the peoples of devastated Europe this winter, they may again accept a totalitarian government, which will throw the world into another total conflict." The campus does not have a set quota; all funds collected will be counted in the Auburn total. Dr. B. R. Showalter is co-director of the county drive. THERE'LL BE CANDLES ON HIS CAKE SUNDAY 5 Coeds Run For Miss Auburn, 6 Vie For Homecoming Crown L. M. QONCAhl Hubert Liverman Will Present Concert In Langdon Tuesday Dr. George Leaves Grille On Advice Of Doctor It's goodbye to Auburn for Mr. George Booras, better known as Dr. George. Dr. George whose cheery "Hi 'ya pal" echoed many times throughout the Auburn Grille each day has left his position of professor of Grillology at the advice of his doctor who states that he has been working much too hard. From here he went to Montgomery Monday to become the night manager of the City Cafe. Dr. George said that he surely hated to leave Auburn and all the students, but that he wanted all of his old friends to drop in at the City Cafe whenever in Montgomery. "I got along with my boss just fine," said Dr. George, "and I don't want anybody to think I didn't. But tlhe work was getting me down and I've got to take it easy for a while." Auburn students have long ago grown attached to the familiar sight of Dr. George praising Auburn and agreeing with all of them when they griped about quizzes or had trouble with affairs of the heart. Whenever any one was in the dumps or feeling blue, they could always be sure of a cheerful chat with Dr. George. Dr. George is leaving Auburn and we're going to miss him—but not forget him. ON THE CAMPUS Virginia Williamson, business manager of the '46 Glomerata, asks each organization wanting space in this year's publication to contact her this week at 184. * * * Publications Board will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Samford Hall. * * * The Plainsman staff will meet at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, in the Plainsman office. All persons interested in working on the paper are invited. The two hours were set in order to avoid conflicts with other meetings set for Wednesday. F r a n z Liszt's Sonata, which represents t h e height of development of piano compositions, will be t h e principal work on t h e p r o g r am of Tuesday evening's piano concert b y Professor J o h n Hubert Liverman. The concert is to b e t h e only o ne for piano during the entire season, and an overflow crowd is anticipated in Langdon Hall to hear the talented new professor. Professor Liverman has selected a varied program of works, including compositions from several countries. He even believes that "there should be one American work in every concert." Franz Liszt was chosen because he is unquestionably the greatest pianist who ever lived, and his Sonata because of its remarkable influence upon the world of music. Richard Wagner once admitted openly that many of his operas made use of themes from Liszt's Sonata. One of the amazing sidelights on the Sonata is that it contains a fugue in the middle seotion on the main theme of the Sonata. The concert Tuesday night is to be held in Langdon Hall, and the public is cordially invited to attend. The time is 8:15 and there will be no admission charge. Concer^rogram The concert will be in three parts. The first will include Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Bach- Busoni; Fantasia in C Minor, W. A. Mozart; and Sonata in B Minor, Franz Liszt. The second portion of the program will be two Brahms Intermezzi. The E Flat Opus 177, No. 1 and the B Flat Opus 117, No. 2 make up the first Intermezzo. The second will be Rhapsody in G Minor, Opus 79. Nocturne in F Sharp Major by Frederick Chopin; Banjo-Picker, John Powell; Jeux D'eau, M. Ravel; and Concert Etude in F Sharp, M. Moxzkowski will complete the concert. Although Mr. Liverman does not have any of his own compositions on the program, Professor Liverman, who recently joined the young music department of API's School of Architecture and The Arts, has plans that will put Auburn's music school in the front ranks of Southern colleges. Before coming to Auburn, he taught at the New York Institute of Musical Arts, the Riverdrive School of Music, and Columbia University's Teachers College. WSGA To Install New House Officers At Monday Meeting In Social Center Separate elections have been held by each women's dormitory for president and vice-president.

Pacific Cyclone Takes Degree From API Calmly Monday Nighf Lt. Gen. Holland McTyeire Smith, closing the speech he made in response to the citation and award of the doctor of laws degree Monday night, said: "This is the grandest, happiest moment of my lfe. Never before have I stood before an audience which I believed to be more kind, and more considerate to a rambling,old- man." The rambling, old man, .the Pa "No Number Please/' Hits Auburn Students by Harold Edward Landry The striking of workers of the Bell Telephone Company affected Auburn students in quite varying ways. Some were angry,, some were sympathetic, and others did not know about it until latter. Some of the opinions of students about the strike are as follows: "I saw no use for them to strike for so short a time." "Everyone was inconvenienced." "I think they did it mainly to show the nation they could cripple the communication system." And shifting to the other extreme: "I think it was a good idea." "They seem to have a very low stipend anyway." "Either the costs of living have to come down or the wages of the common man have to be increased and create another inflation period." Several students were not permitted to call home when they could have had a long chat with Mother. Dating was out of the question the earlier part of the evening. When the operator asked if •the call was urgent, there was nothing to do but replace the phone, although some deemed it "urgent." It seems we have come to look upon the telephone as one of the taken for granted" luxuries of life. Art Guild To Draw Up Organizations' Posters The Art Guild announces poster service for all organizations and individuals on the campus. Flat rates fixed according to the size and number of lettered lines will be announced later. Meetings of the Art Guild are held the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Vivian Duncan presides. Betty Jones was appointed membership chairman at the first meeting this quarter. cific Cyclone, the father of amphibious warfare, the man second in command of the United States Marine Corps, sat down. He rested his head on his chin as he had done throughout the ceremony (except to laugh when Col. T. D. Samford, reading a war correspondent's description of a "soldier from head to foot," said that he had never looked at Gen. Smith's feet.) Gen. Smith was applauded by a former professor, Dr. George Pe-trie, old and new friends. Praises Enlisted Men He had spoken briefly on the war in the Pacific and paid tribute to the enlisted men who fought and died. He apologized to the Marine in t he audience who mhe had intended asking to sit on the stage. He was Corp. A. A. Hill, Jr., whose parents live at 417. West Magnolia. For 169 years, he said, the Marines had lived as subordinates of the Navy. Then came the Pearl Harbor attack and we were not prepared. "That was high time somebody got howlin' mad," he said. At that time the Marines had 1,000 officers. In four years the figure was increased to 25,000 officers with 450,000 enlisted men. "Japs Want Atomic Bomb" "The one thing the Japanese want," Gen. Smith said, "is the atomic bomb. That's all they want." The "baboon," a term he uses eat red meat, doesn't bleed, and shows an inferiority complex by pulling out a hand grenade when (Continued on page six) Advanced ROTC Plans Approved By Army Advanced courses of the ROTC were reactivated on Oct. 3 by the War Department. The plan offers a series of financial inducements for the veterans of World War TL and civilian students who have completed the basic ROTC course. The advanced course requires two years. Those who qualify will be given a monetary allowance equal to the value of the garrison ration while enrolled. In addition, while attending a six-week ROTC camp at .the end of the first year of the advanced course, students will receive pay of the seventh grade enlisted man. A uniform of the officer's type or commutation therefor will be furnished. Pay under this plan will be in addition to .that received under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Field Artillery and Corps of Engineers have been assigned to Auburn. Further details will be announced as they are received from the Fourth Service Command Headquarters, which is responsible for the operation of the plan.

No Ac Books Needed Their names will appear on the ballot for the general election Thursday and each undergraduate student is entitled to one vote for Miss Auburn and one vote for Miss Homecoming. No student ticket books will be required for the balloting. Two polls will be maintained on the campus,from 9 a.m. until 5 pjn.

In case of rain, the polls will be located in the Student Center and in Samford Hall. Then General Election rules will rules will prevail. No can didate may solicit votes other than by personal approach. Any use of printed matter, or any form of free gifts subjects the candidate to disqualification.

Any person attempting to vote at both polls or otherwise vote unfairly shall have their voting privilege removed, and their name and social fraternity or sorority published in the Plainsman. The .title of Miss Auburn is the highest social distinction an Auburn coed may receive since she is actually the queen of the campus. The title is not purely honorary though since she annually presents the winner of the Wilbur Hutsell-ODK cake race with a cup and a kiss.. Other Honors She also helps out at other social funstions throughout the year and entertains visiting celebrities. Her picture always heads the Beauty section of the Glomerata. Miss Homecoming who is elected under the sponsorship of Blue Key fraternity rules over the Homecoming festivities each year and is presented with a bouquet of flowers at the half of the football game by Dr. Duncan. She presides over the annual Homecoming Ball and helps Miss Auburn in social activities. Dr. Duncan To Have Birthday Sunday; 10th As API Prexy Sunday Dr. Luther Noble Duncan will celebrate another birthday, his tenth as president of API. • He began his duties in 1935 without fanfare or demonstration, being content to slip quietly into the harness and begin work immediately. Since that time he- has devoted much time to the solving of Auburn's problem of financial support. He steered Auburn out of •the depression period and through a war, without losing sight of Auburn's purpose, maintaining a .program that is for the training of scientific leaders, agricultural research and agricultural extension. Dr. Duncan likes athletics, especially Auburn athletics. Hates like fury to see her lose. He once played on a championship baseball team in Franklin county. He likes to hunt quail and was a crack shot in his younger days. Apparently never in a hurry, he is a good listener and puts his consultants at ease. He values the opinion of others, and seeks them. His language is clear and simple. -Spinach he does not like, but is fond of turnip greens. He reads .the Bible, the writings of Thomas Jefferson,' and spends hours over economic reports. He likes statistics. No matter how small a favor, he never fails to acknowledge it. He believes in plenty of sleep, and gets it. Players Pick Cast For "Blithe Spirit" At Tryouts In Y-Hut With casting completed after Tuesday night tryouts, "Blithe Spirit," this quarter's play, is now being rehearsed by Director Telfair B.

It would not be a reflection on either their group or any class representative if veterans had their own representative. It probably would be better for all concerned.

WHOM SO PROUDLY WE HAILED Auburn was proud host Monday to one of the most outstanding men ever to be graduated here, Maj. Gen. Holland M. Smith, USMC. He was given the highest degree API awards. General Smith, whose soldiers took his initials to mean "Howlin' Mad," is the top U. S. professional of amphibious warfare. He laid the groundwork for amphibious training of practically all American units, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. He has been described as an enthusiastic, thoughtful, hard-driving man who never hesitates to admit his own mistakes. He fought with his men, fumed and scolded, but still laughs. On Makin he came upon a young lieutenant firing madly at nothing visible. "Son," he said, "if you don't quit that wild shooting. I'm going to take your gun away from you." When General Smith was training his men in the Caribbeans, he threw in his course in Marine philosophy: "Don't ever forget you are the best fighting man in the world." Auburn did not forget. General Smith now holds its honorary doctor of laws degree as a reminder. DIG DOWN DEEP AND GIVE The final appeal of the National War Chest will begin in Auburn Tuesday. The average student very likely is little interested in the drive for funds here. He probably considers this is a town matter and that he has no part in it. This is a mistaken notion. Every Auburn student has a real stake in the National War Chest. A portion of the funds collected this month will go to Europe to help alleviate starvation and to prevent widespread disease of the war-torn ravaged countries which most of our veterans saw only a few short months or weeks ago. People with gnawing pangs of hunger in the pits of their stomachs and with bodies ravaged by disease make easy marks for would-be dictators. If we sit idly by and view disinterestedly famine and pestilence in Europe this winter, we have^no one but ourselves to blame if another crop of Hitlers and Mussolinis rise to power on the continent and plunge us into another war which, will make the fighting of the one just concluded in vain. $ It is to be hoped that Auburn students will dig down deep and give all they can during the final War Chest appeal here. If they hate war as we believe they do and want to protect themselves and the generation to follow them in a few years from another world-wide conflagration, they will respond to the call for con-trbutions. IN THAT NEW CONSTITUTION? Veterans are enrolled in every class. Some are not older than their classmates. Some are. Several are married and a few have children. At present their only representation in the Executive Cabinet is through one of the five special and twelve regular members. The five special representatives are regularly elected presidents of the four classes and the WSGA president. The twelve regular members include three WE LIKE TO POP OUR CHEWING GUM, BUT— All kinds of students go to the picture shows. There are popcorn-eaters, gigglers, howlers, lovers, and, occasionally a few who try to focus attention on the screen. It is this minority, with the townspeople, who deserve consideration. The Tiger Theater is not a Mickey Mouse Club. Nor does it belong to a certain football team which name it bears. It is a place open where the public may (for a fee) see a show. Since students are not cashing in on the returns, they should refrain from exhibitions which would detract from the show. IT'S OURS TO CARRY NOW We don't like it. Even if the Southeastern Conference's decision did make two Auburn football players eligible, we still don't like the results of the special meeting in Birmingham. The real purpose of the meeting—changing the rules in order to let veterans still be eligible for varsity sports after they transfer to other schools—was defeated. Several other points were cleared, however. The retroactive clause of the no-transfer rule was revoked. Now any transfer veteran who was enrolled in his new school before last May may play varsity sports. Students who had not played on any intercollegiate team before the war may become eligible for varsity after a year at the new college. Also students who attended schools which do not now have intercollegiate sports may transfer and still Play- These changes put the veteran on equal footing with every other player in the Southeastern Conference. He is no longer discriminated against for having gone to war; neither is he given the slightest consideration. Other football conferences do consider the ex-servicemen. They even allow transfers to play without waiting a year to be eligible. The Southeastern Conference was equally lenient last football season* But in December the pre-war transfer rules (which are still in effect) were applied. Auburn, along with eight other members of the conference, voted to revert to the old rules. Only Vandy, Tulane, and Georgia Tech opposed the move. Then, when an actual case confronted Auburn, school officials began to work for the same rules other conferences have. In May when the question came up for reconsideration, the rule was not only retained, but the retroactive feature was added. Since that time the sports writers of the South, especially Ed Danforth and Sam Adams, the Alabama Legion, and Tulane, Vandy, Tech, and Auburn have worked for a transfer-anywhere rule in the SEC. The defeat in Birmingham two weeks ago only made them more determined. They have not yet given up. At the regular meeting in December, the question will probably come before the SEC again. It is true that this will not affect many veterans. But each time an ex-serviceman is ineligible it hurts each school in the SEC. It is up to—it should be up to—the student bodies of each school to campaign for the more liberal rules. As a beginning every student at Auburn might write this week to one friend at another school in the Southeastern Conference about the rule. Whenever an Auburn student goes home, he might talk to the influential men about the rule. The Auburn student body might send letters to the presidents of the schools on the other side. Letters could be written to other student newspapers. And even the opposition might be convinced if the right arguments were presented. Auburn students still can carry the ball for the veterans. It will take time and energy, but it will be worthwhile.

As in this case, names are sometimes not used. The editor, however, must know who writes the letter. Dear Editor: What has become of the Auburn Spirit? .Are the students too blase to do a little yelling at football games and do the cheerleaders believe their only duty is to dress up in pretty suits and watch the games? In Birmingham Saturday many people must have" gained the impression, as I did, that Auburn students didn't care whether the Tigers won or lost. At times it seemed they must have thought they were at a wake instead of a football game. Once in a while the cheerleaders woud call for a "War Eagle." I 'believe they did timidly "request" the crowd to give out once or twice with some other yell which fizzled almost into silence. The couple of hundred Mississippi State students, ably led in mass cheering by a keen corps of cheerleaders, made Auburn look sick. And the Auburn student cheering WAS sick. Two or three times one of the cheerleaders would ask in a rather weak voice through his megaphone, "Where Is That Auburn Spirit?" No one volunteered to tell him where it was. I hope somebody finds it and brings it back to life. Auburn used to have some pretty good yells. Evidently the present cheerleaders think they are too old-fashioned and undignified. At none of the three football games this year have I heard them given. Perhaps it would be a good idea for someone to dig them up and teach them to a few of the freshmen. That might help as what little yelling was done in Birmingham was by the "rats." There probably won't be very many students making the long trip to New Orleans for the Tulane game.- However, the following Saturday, Oct. 27„ the Tigers take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta and no doubt a number of Au-burnites will witness that game. If they don't improve their organized cheering (and if the cheerleaders don't get on the ball by that time), it will be a keen disappointment to about 25,000 spectators who annually jam Grant Field to see the renewal of the traditional Tech-Auburn football rivalry. The Auburn cheering alone has always been worth the price of admission to . the Tech game. Cordially yours, ONE WHO YELLED JAYWALKING With THORNTON and LANEY The west stands at Legion Field were higher than we suspected. We asked the man sitting next to us how he was enjoying th game, and he said, "What game? I'm on a non-stop flight to Chicago." When the usher got us halfway up, he said, "You'll have to go the rest of the way by yourselves. From here on my ears pop." It wasn't so bad, though, especially when the clouds broke, 'cause then we could see eye-to-eye with the twenty-second floor of the Tutwiler. If the unthirsty individual in front of us hadn't jumped up and hollered "Joe" every two minutes, we'd a swore that were were in an open-air church.

Rat Reuben Writes Home Dear Ma and All: It went and turned cold all of a sudden up here the other week, Ma, and I caught myself one of the worse head colds I've ever had. Course I put my long underwear on after it turned cold, but I was too late. I just felt so bad I couldn't study at all; so I went to class not knowing no thin. I told one of my professors why I didn't know my lesson. He sure was comforting to me. He said not to feel bad about it cause I at least had something in my head. Ain't none of my professors got head colds. Ma, there's one thing I've learned this new quarter. You remember that I told you in one of my letters last summer that I didn't know what BMOC stood for. Well I asked one of the fellows who's called a BMOC what it stood for. He said it meant Big Man of the Campus. I don't think it means a giant or anything like that cause the fellow I talked to wasn't nothing but a little bitty shrimp. What it does mean, I think, s that a BMOC is the fellow who has enough money to buy a lots of fancy pins to wear all over his shirt, and the one who can collect the most keys, and the fellow who can keep the most girls guessing, and the fellow what gets into everything that's going on. I'm goin to try my best to be one. If Pa will let me join the Odd Fellows and the Red Men and the Woodmen when I come home Christmas that will give a lots of pins and stuff to wear on my Tee-shirt. And, too, those kind of pins don't cost as much as the kind they sell down here. And then if I can get Judge Simpkins to learn me about politics I'll just about be ready for a membership in the BMOC club. * * * These pep meetings they have down here sure are lots of fun, Ma, but I don't know how come them to call them pep meetings. Instead of giving me pep they don't do nothing but wear -me out. All they do is yell and sing. They call it practicing for the football games, but some of the fellows what's been to the games tell me that best yelling and singing is done at the practices. * * * But, Ma, one of the things what I hate for Sis to see when y'all come to Auburn for Homecoming is the girl cheerleaders down here. You know I wrote you last summer about how some of the coeds dress, or don't dress down here. Some of them don't wear as much on the streets as grandma wears to bed. Well, that ain't nothing to what goes on when these women cheerleaders get what they call hot. They kick up their legs and turn tumblesorts and stand on their heads with their short skirts upside down, and I just don't see how the folk at a football game ever keep their minds on what's going on among the players. One of the cheerleaders wiggles so until that's what they call her. I sure do enjoy the pep meetings out in the open, there's so much to see and everything, but still I hate for Sis to see these girl cheerleaders carrying on like they do. It just ain't nice for girls to see. I'll bet Pa will enjoy the game though, even if he don't under understand what the two teams are doing. * * * Maybe I ough to tell y'all a little something about football before you come to Homecoming. One team gets at one end of the place what they have marked off with white stripes, and the other team gets at the other. Then one fellow on one team kicks the football down to the fellows on the other team, what tries to bring the ball back to the other end of the playground what they call the goal posts. Then they start playing, but Pa will think they are fighting unless I tell him better. They try to knock each other down by throwing they bodies at each other, and they push each other in the faces, and sometimes all the players on both the teams jump on the man who's got the ball, and they all pile up in a mess so you can't tell nothing about what's happening. Then a man what they call the referee gets the players unscrambled and starts the game again. * * * Sometimes he gives the ball to one side, and then to another. If a player can't get anywhere running with the ball, he just throws it down the length of the playground hard as he can, and then it's a case of ketch who ketch can. Finally somebody takes the ball across the goal line. The team that does this the most wins the game. While they are playing a man will holler out First Down, Second Down, Third Down, and Fourth Down. But when so many of them are falling down all over each other, I don't see how the man can tell who is first or second or third or fourth. It sure is a rough game, I don't see how the players keep from fighting. * * * Well, Ma, I better close and go dost myself up for my bad cold.

Author-Lecturer Dawson Speaks On Air Transport At 8 P.M. in Langdor Miss Cleo Dawson, author and lecturer, will speak on "The Constructive Use of Air Transport" at 8 p.m. tonight in Langdon Hall in the first of a series of World Understanding lectures sponsored by the Rotary'Club. Students will be admitted free upon presentation of student activities book. Miss Dawson was first attracted to airplanes as a child when her mother got the Chamber of Commerce to sponsor Mackey Solen-berger's booster plane for the little town of Mission, Tex. As soon as tihe early planes would accept passengers, she started traveling by air. She was the first American girl to visit Yucatan, Mex., by plane. Miss Dawson received her master's and doctor's degrees from the University of Kentucky. She has studied at the University of Mexico and the Sorbonne, and taught literature at the University of Kentucky for 10 years. Her interest in world affairs has taken her to all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and to South America. She is the author of a novel, "She Came to the Valle," which is ithe story of her mother's life in the lower valley of the Rio Grande. Other speakers and their topics will be: Archibald Gilchrist, Sale, Victoria, Australia, "International Security in the Pacific;" Thorn A. B. Ditton, Fort Collins, Colo., "Making International Organization Effective;" O. L. Mcpherson, Vulcan, Alberta, Canada, "Maintaining World Trade and a High Standard of Living."

Anne Likes Cherry Pie, Jitterbugging And Navy Uniforms by Dama Wills If you hear strains of Harry James' "Flash" in Dorm III, you probably will trace it to- the room of Anne Bingham, freshman representative to WSGA. She really goes for that hep music cause she's a jitterbug of the highest order, but she also has plenty of records in her collection that are on the sweet side. Anne is taking lab tech, but on the side she finds plenty of time for extra-curricular activities such as glee club and sports of all types. In fact she's so good at pingpong that she won the girls' tournament held during the summer quarter. She approves very highly of the Navy moving onto the Auburn campus because she has two brothers who follow the fleet When asked which type of male appeals to her most, she replied she was partial to blonds, bru-nets, and redheads. Though you'd never believe it by looking at her trim figure, she's wild about cherry pie and banana pudding and consumes these delicacies on all.possible occasions. To sum her up, Anne seems to be a typical all-round coed of the type Auburn is both proud and glad to have.

Madame George Sande is one of the most tempestuous and emotional in history. As long as lovers love and as long as dreamers dream, their story will be remembered, as will the musical compositions Chopin created during the course of his fiery experience. It is this story, together with the bitter struggle between Sand and Chopin's music master for supremacy over the will and genius of this great composer, that forms the basis of Columbia Pictures' Technicolor production, "A Song to Remember," starring Paul Muni as Eisner, the music master, Merle Oberon as Sand, and featuring Cornel Wilde as Chopin, coming to the Tiger Theatre on Sunday. "A Song to Remember," is said to be magnificently mounted in glorious Technicolor. It contains 18 compositions from the scores upon scores of tuneful products composed by this most prolific of composers. With its music and all its complicated ingredients of a colorful era, men and women, places and things, this picture was two-years in the making, with many a head-acre over research and ithe collection of authentic properties. Pianos Hard To Find One item, which may teem minor and shall to anyone who is unfamiliar with the care and precision necessary in a period picture to avoid the criticisms of historians and interior decorators, was the search for an old pianoforte, the kind made popular by Liszt, one of Chopin's contemporaries, and adapted by Pleyel, great impresario and piano dealer of the time. This alone took months, we are told. And so it went with other items. Casting is always troublesome, and in a picture such as "A Song to Remember," peopled with famous personalities, the difficulties are tripled. But each role was cast by Columbia with the greatest of patience and care, and from reports of audiences, who have already seen the picture, this is one of its strongest points. More Oscars? Paul Muni, as Professor Eisner, Merle Oberon, as Sand, Cornel Wilde as Chopin, are all said to give the peromances of their careers. Already-there is "Oscar" talk for all of them.

A notice to the same effect has been received also from Earl M. MacCowan, of Chapman, secretary of the Alabama Committee on Selection. Application forms and information are now in preparation. Dr. Aydelotte's announcement in full follows: The first post-war elections will be held in Dec, 1946. Applications should reach the secretary of the appropriate state committee of selection on or before November 2. Scholars-elect will enter the University of Oxford in October, 1947. In addition to ordinary appointments the Rhodes Trustees have created a limited number of War Service Scholarships for which men will be eligible who at any time since Oct. 1, 1940, were between the ages of 19 and 25, and who have completed at least one year of war service. Thirty-two War Service Scholarships will be offered each year for at least two, and possibly for three years. For the purposes of the Rhodes Scholarships, committees will be instructed to recognize as war service not merely membership in the armed forces, but also various kinds of civilian war work, such as scientific research, education, government service, and positions in industry or agriculture which contributed to the war effort.

Forestry Courses Added To School of Agriculture New courses in forestry are being offered in three fields this year. They were made possible by funds appropriated in the Alabama Legislature, which also appropriated money for a new forestry building and modern equipment. The degree course leading to a bachelor of'' science in forestry prepares graduates for professional positions in several fields of forestry. The degree course in agriculture with major in forestry is designed for men preparing for county agency work in counties having high timber acreages, and for those preparing for positions requiring a knowledge of agriculture and forestry. The ranger course is especially for boys preparing for work with the departments or divisions of forestry of the states. Applicants must meet the standard college entrance requirements. Credit in courses for rangers may be applied later for a degree in forestry. Other jobs in forestry are: research workers or as teachers; administrators with the U. S. Forest Service or the state forestry departments; foresters with railroads, timber operators, banks, loan companies, paper or pulp manufacturers; and operators of wood-utilization plants. Recent statistics show that three per cent of the nation's forestry graduates received their training in the south, which produces 58 per. cent of the annual timber growth."

There are more honest to goodness men on our campus now than the girls of this institution have seen for some years. Of course, lots of those nice fellows are married, but it's a treat to look at them. A good many of the men who've returned to Auburn, and those here for the first time too, are changed men. They've been to -war and seen enough in a few months, or days, to last a lifetime. This key-ed way of living may not have had any ill effects on some. But there will be a lot of veterans on our campus who have gone through some pretty stiff stuff. They may be a little shaky at first about getting into the swing of things in school, as well as in social and religious life. * * * Times, things, and people have changed. No one thinks or acts exactly as he did before the war. He can't know if those who were his friends once will still take him in as one of the crowd. It's up to the old timers to make them feel at ease. Those who stayed at home will be uncertain as to how the returning GIs want to be treated. Although many loved ones have gone to war, it still hasn't been the same as doing the actual fighting. So, much compromise and consideration must be given by both those at home and those just returned in order that all may enjoy that acknowledged human right, the pursuit of happiness. Many adjustments will have to take place before anything like normality can be reached. - PERSONAL CARE FOR YOUR CLOTHES I Our AYR-MOR Compact M a c h i n e Gives Y ou Quicker and Better Dry Cleaning Service.

HILL'S BOOTERY This goes for new freshmen, too. Getting a college degree is no small matter and cannot be taken lightly. But while acquiring that long sought for degree they can't afford to forget other phases of campus life. Taking part in different organizations and activities is also necessary. For every one there is a place under the Auburn sun. But you have to go out after it. The increased enrollment is not only causing confusion among the students. Many of the professors are having to double up on the number and size of their classes. Most of them were already overworked, so they too need a bit of sympathetic understanding. * * * Auburn, the loveliest village itself, is getting some reverberations from this larger student population, too. Everywhere the natives go, they find school chil-lun springing up like mushrooms. But they don't mind too much for without the college,, professors, and students, there wouldn't be very much left of Sweet Auburn. This IS Sweet Auburn, where it never fails to rain every weekend— it pours for football games— where a farmer's son can be class president, and a woman can edit the college paper.

The railroad freight rate for an average ton per mile hauled is less than one cent; and the rate per passenger per mile is an average of about two cents. The wear and tear on shoe leather for a mile walk would probably exceed the rail rate for an average ton of freight or a passenger for the same distance. When some one says "high freight and passenger rates," consider the above facts. There's not a better bargain in the whole world than in U.S.railroad service. Today, with high operating costs, freight and passenger -rates per mile average 16% and 46% less, respectively, than 2 5 years ago.

Davis scored twice, once in the second period on a right-end sweep which netted 61 yards and a touchdown, and again in the third quarter when he climaxed a 43 yard drive by a four-yard end run for the score.

The point system has been adopted and will be carried out in the coming football season, which "starts Tuesday. This system gives two points to a team winning a game, one for a tie, and none for a loss. At the end of the season the team in each league with the highest number of points qualifies for the three-team playoff. To be eliminated in these playoffs a team has to be defeated twice. All pledges are eligible to play With the Fraternity which they have joined provided they pledge before the Leagues begin this season; if, however, they do not pledge before the Leagues begin playing, they are ineligible for two weeks after which they may partake in all Intramural sports. All managers are urged to have eligibility lists in by Wednesday afternoon. The independents and Navy teams should also have their lists in as soon as possible. Any Navy men belonging to a Frat will be eligible to participate in the touch football program. As the point system has been adapted, no two Frats will be organized into a single team this season.

SMITH (Continued from page one) he has a loaded gun. They lie to one another, to themselves, to the world. They cannot stand up against the American soldier, he said. "Now we have prostrate the only two nations who could threaten us, but we have nothing to say about the treatment they are to receive. A million men don't make wars, they fight them. They should have something to say about the making of wars. Men Who Hate War "If there is a class who do not want war, who hate war, who know war means misery, hunger, thirst, disease, wounds, death, it is the men who fought. For about a half-million men I can say that they will have something—more than ever—to do with the making of wars." This war, he said, was.fought with weapons of the last war. It would be that way next time unless the nation prevents another war by being prepared for one. He suggested that a small army of well-trined officers and men be maintained. FROM HEAD TO TOE I.. r" STETSON HATS Shirts and Ties CURLEE CLOTHES w re like brands. National brands. Famous brands. And our customers like them too^-for the same reasons that we do: Nationally advertised lines of men's wear usually represent top styling, top quality, top value in their fields. We think that's particularly true of the lines we handle, like Van Heusen Shirts, ties, collars, pajamas, sportswear. We're proud to be known as headquarters for them. We're glad to feel that men—and women, who do so much shopping for their men— think of us when they think of these known and trusted names in men's wear. FLORSHEIM SHOES Olin L.
