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.

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.

Lt. Gen. Holland McTyeire Smith, closing the speech he
made in response to the citation and award of the doctor of

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.

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.

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.

are Betty Blaylock, Alpha
Tau Omega; Betty Bledsoe, Kap­pa
Alpha; Dot McWilliams, Al­pha
Gamma Delta; Arlene Davis,
Dorm I; Margaret Bledsoe, Theta

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

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.

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.

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."

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.
Your loving son,
Reuben

Author-Lecturer Dawson
Speaks On Air Transport
At 8 P.M. in Langdor

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.

will be: Archibald Gilchrist,
Sale, Victoria, Australia, "Inter­national
Security in the Pacific;"

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.

George Sand Remembers the Song Frederick Chopin Wrote
In Tiger's Feature Attraction for Sunday, Monday
The love story of the great composer of romantic melodies,
Frederick Chopin, and the great novelist, feminist, and heart-breaker.
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.

Dear Students,
In the present crisis of material shortages, we beg your in-dulgence.
There are a number of circumstances over which we have no
control causing the delay in service to you.
The latest of these was the recent elevator strike in New York.
This is due largely to storage and shipping departments in the upper
stories of the large buildings.
Without elevator service, it has been impossible to move this
material from the higher floors to express level.
You may rest assured that we are leaving no stones unturned
to give you the ultimate in service.
Do not hesitate to make your needs and desires known.

Selection Of First Rhodes Scholars
Since Hostilities To Be Made In '46
Dr. Frank Aydelotte, American
secretary of the Rhodes Scholar­ship
Foundation, has announced
•that the first post-war elections
of Rhodes scholars will be held in
December, 1945, in a notice to
Ralph Draughon, director of in­struction,
here. 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."

Down Our Alley
By Jane Southerland
Right you are, there've been
some changes made. 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. -

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. A truly won­derful
place to be.

Surprising, but true! 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.
Railroads are large, mass transporta­tion
agencies, efficiently operated as free
and private enterprise, in a public serv­ice
essential both in peace and war.

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. Liptak fumbled, re-

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

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

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.

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.
