December, will open the local
concert series next Monday night
when she appears at Alumni
Gym, the program to begin at

The tall slender brunette,
whose personal pulchritude has
run a close second to her voice
in the comments of the music
critics, comes to Auburn a veteran
of one Metropolitan and two
concert seasons, and with her
first motion picture and numerous
network radio engagements
already behind her.
Her Parents From Sweden
Miss Thebom is the daughter

Lecture By Australian
until, on a long-planned vacation Free For Students
trip to Sweden, she was heard by
a former accompanist of a famous
singer and encouraged by him
to study singing.
She's Young, Too
Just past 25, this brilliant singer
with the coronet of lustrous
black braids has found the rocketlike
journey from a typewriter
in a Canton business office to
the concert, opera, and motion
picture world rather dizzying.
Ace impresario Hurok took her
under his wing two years ago.
Her first concerts out of town
brought prophetic notices like
this from Seattle: "Miss Thebom
shows every promise of becoming
one of tiie great singers of this
country."
Town Hall Debut
Then came the Town Hall debut,
when the New York Times
critic presaged "a brilliant career
for her," the Herald-Tribune
promised that she would be "one
of our most distinguished singers,"
and the World-Telegram
proposed: "It would do the Metropolitan
no harm to look into
the situation."
The Metropolitan did look, and
listen, with the happy outcome
of a great new mezzo-soprano out
of* America's own middle west.

"They Need No Glory"
Bell bottom trousers—and their wearers
—will be honored when our nation celebrates
the twenty-third Navy Day Saturday.
During the four years of war our Navy
grew from a skeleton force to the greatest
fleet afloat. And during that time the US
Navy made history in keeping with its
best traditions.
Colin Kelley's crash dive on a Jap carrier
brought him fame as the first Naval
hero of the war. He has been followed by
other equally daring men all wearing the
blue of the US Navy and the Naval Air
Corps.
The Navy, in transporting JJS troops
to Great Britian, escorting the invading
fleets to Northern Africa, landing on the
Normandy coast, keeping supplies flowing
to the Aleutians and the Pacific islands,
has performed a feat unequaled in all
naval history.
Some of the gobs who sought out the
German subs and cleared the Atlantic,
some of the men who fought in the Java
Sea, some of the pilots who covered the
Marine landings have already given their
lives. As one Navy man said, "They need
no glory save that they have earned for
themselves."
Others will remain permanently handicapped
because they didn't give up the
ship. A few have come through many engagements
unharmed.
Those are the men who will be honored
Saturday. Both those in the blue today and
those who have been discharged have
contributed much to the Navy.-
There will be no ostentatious celebration
because the day was set aside to pay
tribute to these men. It is to remind the
nation that the Navy did do its part in
winning the war. It is to be a silent recommendation
that we keep a strong Navy
of volunteers after the duration. It is to
let us know that the peace they fought for
is yet to be won.
And in observing Navy Day, the men
in blue ask only that we pledge ourselves
to support our leaders in the uphill fight
for peace.
We Can't Fuss
We're mad. We were all ready to write
a scorching editorial — one that would
reek with sarcasm.
It really isn't fair at all, we were going
to point out, to make us take quizzes on
the only Saturday this quarter our parents
are in Auburn. We just can't be expected
to do our best when we've been
seeing the Homecoming decorations, yelling
at the pep rally, visiting with our
folks, getting in the right frarhe of mind
to see the game.
So you see, we were going to argue,
something must be done about excusing
quizzes.
And now we can't. That's why we're
mad. Because, through arrangements with
Blue Key, the administration has already
moved quizzes up to Friday. What's more,
Blue Key will give a morning dance Saturday.
There's to be a big alumni meeting, too.
Brig. Gen. Hart, one of API's famous football
heroes, will be the guest of the college.
Miss Homecoming will be crowned
between halfs at the football game. And
to top the whole thing off, there will be a
Homecoming dance that night.
Blue Key and the Alumni Association
have had their fingers in all the plans.
Both organizations have done a grand
job. Blue Key has obtained cooperation
from fraternities, dormitories, and houses
in their plans for decoration of the whole
campus. Open houses will probably be
the order of the early evening—thanks
again to the senior men's honorary.
After the biggest alumni meeting in
several years, the Alumni Association has
planned to take its members to dinner at
Dr. Duncan's.
Which all adds up to this: if everyone
is going to go ahead and do things without
even letting the Plainsman write
editorials about what needs to be done,
there won't be anything left to fuss about.
Certainly we can't say anything against
the grand planning which has already been
done. We can't even say that there have
been politics in the way things are being
handled. •
In fact, about all we can say is that
Blue Key and the Alumni Association are
making Auburn's 1945 Homecoming an
event to be remembered.
To Be Supporred-
When the curtains part Monday night
and Miss Blanche Thebom walks onto the
stage in Alumni Gym, the Auburn concert
series will begin.
Primarily for the students, the concerts
are supported by the student activity fund.
For that reason, a student season ticket
costs only a fraction of the price one event
would amount to in a city.
This places the concerts within financial
range of almost every Auburn student.
But it does nothing to place the concerts
within the cultural range of every Au-.
burn student.
There are students who feel that <the
concerts are too "high brow" for them.
Since they know "nothing" about music,
they are sure they would be extremely
bored at a concert.
Actually, even the most cultured person
often does not know the -selections chosen
for concerts. But if the program is presented
in an interesting manner by a good
singer, he feels that knowledge has been
expanded, his taste has been broadened.
This is the attitude that students might
well copy. To be informed about every
piece of music played is not the important
thing; an individual enjoyment of that
music is.
Our Congratulations
The superior rating of Ail-American received
by the Plainsman under the editorship
of Martha Rand and the First Class
Honor Rating received by the Glomerata
edited by Charles Spivey are something
the whole student body can brag about.
The Associated Collegiate Press Score-book,
tallied on The Plainsman from September
1944 to May 1945, rated the paper
in the highest bracket.
Which is a remarkable accomplishment
because there was no journalism teacher
here during Martha's entire term of office.
This, in itself, seems to point to the fact
that Auburn does not need a journalism
teacher.If a coed who learned everything
by observation and practice is able to
achieve All-American, then it seems silly
to keep a journalism teacher at Auburn to
help the students learn how to put out the
paper. ~
But this assumption belies the facts. It
is quite possible that with a journalism
teacher, Auburn's Plainsman could have
been even better — though it could not
have achieved a higher rating.
'OH YES! JUST AS SOON AS MOTHER SENDS PERMISSION'
Home Writes Rat Reuben
Dear Son:
ME AND YOUR Pa have been worried nearly to death
about your bad cold for fear it might go into numony. I just
wish I was there to put greasy rags on your chest and rub
the bottoms of your feet every night with suet. If you don't
get better you must have a doctor.
But don't go to that place you call the Firmary where you
say they have all that new fangled business. You just call
Dr. Duncan.
From all you write us about him I know he must be just
a good old family doctor kind of man who will doste you up
like our Dr. Billings does here in Corn Creek.
* * *
SON THE MORE you write us about college the more we
wonder if we have done the right thing about sending you
away from home. Of course we want you to get an eddication
but we are feared you are going to get a whole lot more than
that.
We aint blaming nothing on Dr. Duncan for we know he
caint keep his eyes on so many pupils at one time but it does
look like with so many teachers down there they could help
him out and make them bad ones behave.
Just like we told you when you left home you must'nt go
back on your raising. Sometimes I wonder what the world is
coming to. It just looks plumb scandlus to me for girls to be
living in the boys boarding houses.
Your Pa don't worry about you like I do. He says every
boy has got to sow some wild oats and that is why he sent you
to a farming school.
* * * i
EVERY SINCE YOU written us about them girl cheerleaders
and the football game and telling us about how they
play that there game it looks like your Pa just caint wait till
time comes for us to go to Auburn. He says he knows it will
be a lot of fun watching every thing.
All he talks about now is football and he tells all the
neighbors how it is played. But I just don't see how Mrs.
Duncan is going to sleep so many folks that night.
There are five of us you know but of course we, don't mind
sleeping on pallets if Mrs. Duncan is crowded out for beds.
* * *
I DON'T KNOW what we are going to do about Sister
when we come to the Homecoming. I'm feared all them
college boys wiU fall in love with her. I wish you hadn't
of wrote us what you did about that Mr. Thornton and that
Mr. Laney fellow.
You know how girls are.
And I can tell from listening to her talk to the other
girls when they spend the night with her that she is already
plumb crazy about both of them men. And I'm feared when
she gets down there that both of them will want all the
dates with Sister and that they'll have a falling out about her.
Sister has promised me she won't let them hold her hands
When they are out in one of them pushems.
I've made Sister a solid red dress to wear to go with her red
stockings. They just match her red hair. And she's washing
her face in buttermilk every night to take off most of the
freckles.
* * *
SISTER LOOKED UP in her dictonerry to see what that
word zoo means and it says a zoo is where people go but
where wild animals are barred. I do hope Dr. Duncan sees
that there are plenty of bars around all the windows in the
building.
I hate to think of them girls down there having to live
in a barn though. It sure must be a crowded place. What did
they do with the other animals when they turned them out
to make room for the girls?
* * * *
SON I'M SORRY you are having so much trouble with
your washing. Maybe Dr. Duncan just aint got the right kind
of washer women down there at his laundry. It seems that
this laundry is a place where clothes are mangled instead of
being cleaned.
I think you are doing right in deciding to wash your own
clothes. We are sending you a wash tub and plenty of homemade
soap. I expect if you start washing your clothes all the
other boys and girls will begin doing the same thing.

PORTRAIT
of an All-American Coed
She didn't scream. She didn't
cry. She didn't yell.
She merely blinked and said.
"Oh. Is it really?"
* * *
Then, when she caught the full
significance of the fact that her
1944-45 Plainsman had won All-
American honor rating, Martha
Porter Rand jumped up and down
a few times. She looked on the
back page of the Associated Collegiate
Press scorebook a second
time to be certain the green
check was in the All-American
square.
Martha didn't need to bother
looking again. For last year,
while her paper was receiving
criticism from the ACP, she had
been told that the Plainsman was
"one of the best papers received."
The second woman editor of
the paper, Martha was the third
chief to bring home top honors.
Top honors, too, she took when
she was elected to Phi Kappa
Phi last winter. And, in keeping
with that standard, she was the
first editor to make a 4.0 average
while putting out a paper every
week.
* * *
Five feet, eight inches 'tall,
Martha has blue eyes and dark
curley hair. Tuscumbia, Ala., has
always been home to her. Just
last week she celebrated her
twenty-first birthday. Now a
senior in the School of Architecture,
she will graduate in May.
Martha is expert at typing and
taking shorthand. While she was
a freshman and sophomore, she
served as part-time secretary to
,*F. C. Biggin, late dean of the
architecture school.
Rooming with MPR is almost
a sure way to get a man—15 of
her 20 roommates are married!
* * *
Martha is president of the student
chapter of the American Institute
of Architects. Secretary of
Cardinal Key, senior women's
honor society, member of Publications
Board, a student listed
in "Who's Who in American Colleges
and Universities," are
honors she has won in addition
to her Phi Kappa Phi key.
She began her career on the
Plainsman as a member of the
business staff. Later she was
made society editor under Bob
Sharman. In September 1944 she
succeeded him as editor-in-chief
of the Plainsman.
* * *
Making speeches aren't in
Martha's l i n e ; she'd rather
achieve her goal by work. She
doesn't object to using elbow
grease when something needs to
be done.
Martha likes to play tennis,
. write letters, go to the Grille,
have surprise birthday parties for
her suitemates. A good listener,
she has many friends.
* * *
Which all adds up to an All-
American editor that all Auburn
is proud of.
LOOKING INWARD
Mister, can you «pare a . . .
moment? It really doesn't take a
jiffy to put across the idea that
tops all ideas, to wit: you must
be there to know what happens!
The turtle has the right idea. He
makes no progress until he sticks
out his neck. And neither will
you brother—and sister.
It takes courage and ambition
to sit in a none too comfortable
room and pound the books night
after night. You finally get to
the place where you wonder if
you really want that sheepskin
after all. It looked mighty tempting
from where you sit in Uncle's
uniform or back there in the
"greatest little old high school in
the world."
What you need my friend is to
"spare a . . . moment". Yes, several
of them, each week, to "feed"
that inner somebody who really
deserves more attention than
he's getting now. Think a minute.
Aren't you really kickin' your
real self around a bit? You
shouldn't, especially when it is
so easy to take a few minutes and
satisfy that longing to see old
friends, to visit the old church.
There's a new set of friends in
a new, yet old, church waiting
for you right here in Auburn.
Why not try it? >
* * *
There is nothing like pitching
in and doing one's share in some
kind of good work to lighten that
weary 61' heart. Every church in
Auburn has a special place just
for you. If it's friends of good
times you want—come along,
you'll be welcome in any crowd.
You say you're not a member
here? Well, bless you, that makes
no difference — come anyway.
Maybe you'll want to ask the
minister back home- to send a
note to some church here. That's
the easy way to do it. Just costs
three cents, and you'll feel
mighty good about it.
Don't be in too big a hurry to
give some time each day for an
"upward glance". It'll pick you
up. Never be in too much of a
rush to see the fine and worthwhile
things about you. Did you
know that the world's best and
most lasting friendships are begun
in the college church? There
are some mighty fine folks right
near you—in your classes, in the
quad, in one of the church groups.

"Great haste great waste is ever
true;
The richest fields we hurry
through
And overlook the things at hand
In haste to reach some distant
land.
Our own backyard we should explore
Before we seek some foreign
shore;
Real happiness is left behind .
When something better we would
find."
BACKTALK
Only Talked About Now
To the few Auburn-spirited
people left at Auburn!
It seems strange that the few
weeks I have been in Auburn
since I came back from Italy
have been spent listening to
people talk of the "Old Auburn
Spirit". Everyone knows about
it and everyone talks about it,
but it seems that no one has it!
I was lucky enough—shall we
say—to be here for the pep rally
before the Mississippi State game
and I will say that the Auburn
Spirit has reached a new "high".
In what I don't know! I saw only
a few rats there. Maybe there
were many; however the number
of rat caps belied that.
What's the matter with the
upperclassmen—have the freshmen
got them outnumbered?
And while I'm asking questions,
where are the deans and
profs that used to inhabit all of
our rallies? Have they forgotten
the story of "War Eagle" they
used to tell so well on the steps
of Langdon before the stadium
was built. If the instructors who
are moulding the thoughts and
minds of the student body don't
have the spirit of Auburn, from
whom can the students acquire
it?
The spirit of the school that
included both the students and
the instructors was really the
deciding factor_ in my enrolling
in Auburn. I can only say that
I'm sorry it's only a subject to
talk about now.
- I hope that this letter will
make some of you realize that
the students and instructors have
drawn apart and will help in
some way to bring you together
again.
Thanks for your time,
A serviceman.

A Way To Make The Big Day
Bigger
Editor, The Plainsman:
While attending school here,
there is one special occasion that
has become our pet gripe. That
occasion is Homecoming!
Not that we dislike the idea of
having Homecoming and all the
decorations which make it a big
day for Auburn and the alumni;
we dislike the seating arrangements
that we have. When our
folks come down, they get guest
tickets and sit in the cement
stands while we sit in the wooden
bleachers.
We don't object to sitting in
the wooden bleachers, but we do
object to not being able to sit
with our folks. When they get
here just before the game, sit on
the opposite side of the grandstand,
and leave immediately after
the game, it doesn't leave us

Walking the Plank
. . . By LENNY PAYNE
NROTC unit has become a
part of API. You have met us on
the campus, in the student center,
at Markle's and in classes. We
have attended your pep rallies
and football games with raucous
huba-hubas and ear - splitting
"Waaaaaaaaaaar Eagles".
We like you (especially the
blondes, brunettes and titians) and
your "Hey! How yawls". Your
warm friendliness has charmed us
no matter whether we come from
the North or the South or just
in between.
At an rate, we are here to stay
This is no time to mention such
things as the ACADEMIC TREE
—for a while at least. You will be
seeing a lot of us between the
hours of 1600 and 1800 (4 p. m.
and 6 p. m. respectively).
* * *
Our gratitude goes to the Sigma
Nu boys for extending us bids
to their White Rose Formal of
October 13. We hope the bond
of friendship may grow between
us.
* «
We regret that circumstances
beyond our control—any mention
of delayed paydays and academic
trees will not be irrelevant now!
—prevented many of us from attending
the ODK Glomerata
Beauty Ball.
• * *
Students as a whole do not differ
greatly whether civilian or
military and the NROTC boys
are no exception. To begin with,
we may all be roughly divided
into three main types.
The first or studious type is
composed of that particularly
queer class of individuals who
have a positive affection for
study. They would rather study
than have fun.
The second or frivolous type
Barbeque-Hayride
Fetes SAE Pledges
The SAE fraternity entertained
its pledges Sunday night with a
hayride-barbeque to Chewacla
Park. The trip began at the fraternity
house and ended above the
dam, where the barbeque was
served.
Mrs. Jeff Clay and Mrs. L. M.
Ware chaperoned the affair.
Members, pledges, and dates
were Norman McLeod, Jeannette
Ellis, Jasper; Tom Pease, Virgin-ie
Ann Holcombe, Birmingham;
Felix Baker, Marie Strong. An-niston;
Jack Anderson, Jean
are those who have an unshakable
abhorrence for books and
anything connected with study.
They do not like to study and
will not study under any circumstances.
These first two types are unimportant
and may be forgotten.
You will meet the first type again
in approximately four years
when they are graduated cum
laiude, Phi Beta Kappa, etc. The
second type are fun to know but
forget them. They will not be
here long enough to be known
anyway. The sea is calling!
Fortunately, the majority of us
fall into the third category which
we shall call the happy imerdiums
for convenience's sake. While not
entertaining too high a regard
for study, we will study under
the right conditions. (That is
where the Navy comes in.) Our
play takes care of itself as long as
we do not make the mistake of
mixing it with study. You will
not have to remember us, either,
because you won't be able to forget
us.
You will find us literally littering
the campus, at Student
Center, in your classes, attending
your dances and joining your organizations
and fraternities in a
way worthy of the traditional and
intangible something known as
the "Auburn Spirit."

Because we don't live close

Callahan Began World War II Af Pearl Harbor,
Fought In Solomons, Normandy Invasion, Cherboug
By William L. Greece
Capt. J. W. Callahan, commandant
of Auburn's NROTC
unit, has spent 23 years in the
Navy, including four years in the
Naval Academy. He was graduated
from the U. S. Naval Academy
in 1926. An officer aboard
the destroyer Robert Smith in
1927, he took part in the second
Nicaraguan campaign.
He served aboard the destroyer
Edsel which was protecting
American interests on the Yangtze
River during the war between
the Chinese Nationalists
and Communists. He also served
aboard the heavy cruiser Pittsburgh
on the China station.
Capt. Callahan was aboard the
USS Jarvis in Pearl Harbor at
the time of the Japanese attack.
He commanded the destroyer
Ralph Talbot, -supporting the Marines
in their initial landings at
Guadalcanal in August, 1942. He
participated in the first Battle
of Savo Island.
In July, 1943, he took the Ralph
Talbot through the second Battle
of Kula Gulf, and the occupation
of New Georgia in the
Solomon Island area.
While commanding the USS
Barton, Capt. Callahan took part
in the Normandy Invasion and
the bombardment of Cherboug,
France, in 1944.
As commander of the Destroyer
Division 102, he took part in the
occupation of Leigan in the Philippines
and of Brunki Bay and
Balickpapan, Borneo.
Capt. Callahan has been awarded
the Silver Star with a gold
star and the Commendation Ribbon,
which he received while
commanding the USS Ralph Talbot.
The Ralph Talbot engaged a
Japanese cruiser at night at a
range of 3300 yards, damaged
the cruiser with shell fire and
scored a possible torpedo hit. The
Jap cruiser broke off the engagement
after inflicting heavy
damage on the Ralph Talbot with
five shell hits and one richochet
hit. The Ralph Talbot was flooded
forward and aft. It was burning
and listing 20 degrees after
the battle.
After this was corrected and
the fire extinguished by her own
ship's company, Capt. Callahan
brought the Ralph Talbot into
port without assistance.
The Captain was born at Basin,
Mont., on June 26, 1904. He is
married to the former Martha
Meade Cooper of Washington,
D. C. They have two sons,, aged
one and three.
He also has two brothers in
Auburn Ain't What It Used To Be
Sailor Decides When Counting Girls
By S-2/c Richard Kearley
Since Sept. 22, the Auburn
campus has been overrun by men
wearing blues and whites of
Uncle Sam's Navy. Suiprises
have been numerous both to the
civilian students and to the Navy
lads.
I, as a former student in a
civilian status, have discovered
many of these surprises. What a
change has taken place during
the year that I was away. The
most noticeable is the reversal of
the odds between the masculine
and the feminine students.
At one time one not versed in
the ways of API might have concluded
that it was a girls' school
to whioh a kind administration
had admitted a few boys to keep
up the girls' morale. Matters
were in a heck of a shape and
the poor (?) men practically had
to beat the women off with baseball
bats but not any more,
drat it! Now, instead of five girls
hanging on the words of one
man, 'tis not uncommon to see
two or three men sharing one
girl.
Not only has the reappearance
of men thrown me for a loop,
but also the beginning of a movement
towards the. evacuation of
the fairer sex from the frat
houses. During the man-scarce
years of the war, a surplus of
beauteous fems oozed over the
dorm accommodations right into
the domestic abodes of the men's
fraternities. Now with the returning
war veterans, there is a
general tendency toward a reversal
procedure, accompanied by
buzzing lawn mowers and flying
paint brushes as the men begin
to restore their houses to pre-war
beauty.
New instructors have been
added to the staff and a few
familar ones are gone. I am
awaiting their return with anti-the
service. The youngest, a sergeant
in the Marine Corps, served
two years in the Pacific. The
other, a lieutenant-commander in
the Navy, is now in command of
the submarine Barb which has
to its credit 86 sinkings and eight
damaged ships.
Capt. Callahan is to be the
principal speaker at the Navy
Day Luncheon in Montgomery
Saturday.
cipation. The condition of the
teaching staff does not appear to
have changed much one way or
the other, though.
Coach Carl M. Voyles has
proved to be a tremendous asset.
That old Tiger team is right in
there fighting with great promises
of future glory. The Auburn
Spirit has emerged from the
trials of wartime unscathed, and
is beginning a climb to new
heights as API starts its return
to pre-war conditions.

The birthday of the American
Navy, October 27, 1775, will be
celebrated all over the US Saturday.
Established 170 years ago
when a resolution was passed by
Continental Congress separating
it from the Army, the Navy has
grown to be the largest in the
world.
Our first Naval battle, between
Capt. John Paul Jones'
"Bonhomme Richard" and the
English "Serapis," ended in a
US victory which established the
first Navy traditions.
Two great Naval heroes came
from the War of 1812; one was
the battleship, "Constitution."
The other was Capt. Oliver H.
Perry, whose "I have not yet begun
to fight!" has become one of
our Navy's battle crys.
Wooden Ships Seen Superior
After the US "Monitor" and
the Confederate "Merrimac"
fought for ten days, the crew considered
it a draw and the "Mer-rimac"
withdrew for repairs.
Ironclad ships were "proved impractical"
in that battle of the
Civil War and it was not until
much later that our Navy abon-doned
its "wooden ships and iron
men" for more modern vessels.
The Spanish-American War
was climaxed by the battle in
Santiago Harbor in the Philli-pines
when Commodore Schley
completely routed the escaping
Spanish fleet and made them
strike their colors.
Biggest job of World War I
was transporting soldiers to England
and France.
Supplies Flowed
In World War II the US Navy
undertook and completed the job
of keeping open supply lines to
American troops in all parts of
the world.
But in addition to this, the
Navy has added many names to
its list of famous battles. After
our withdrawal from the Philippines
and the East Indies, our
Navy stopped the Japs' advance
southward. In the Atlantic, it
swept out the German submarines.
The complete defeat of the Jap
fleet this summer, and the actual
entering of Tokyo Bay by US
ships before the end of war are
almost unparalleled in history.
This defeat, as well as the atomic
bomb, was responsible for shortening
the end of the war.

Ditton Makes Analysis
For Auburn Rotary Club
Maj. Thorn A. B. Ditton, war
correspondent and analyst of
military affairs, told the audience
at the Rotary Club's lecture last
Wednesday night, "Unless we get
in agreement with Russia, the
United Nartions Charter will fail
before it gets started."
Maj. Ditton, a veteran of two
wars, has traveled extensively
in the east and is booked for
lectures until Spring, 1948.
Using the rtopic, "Making International
Organizations Effective,"
Maj. Ditton said Russia
was fundamentally behind the
discord right now, but that better
understanding was possible
without appeasement.
We Made a Mistake
"One mistake we have made,"
Maj. Ditton said, "is in thinking
we were dealing with the Russian
people, when we are dealing
with only two people, Stalin and
Molotov—or more accurately,
three people. The third is a dead
man, Lenin, but his philosophy
lives in the other two, an ideal
government. And it works for
Russia.
"Democracy works for us. It's
just like blowing soap bubbles.
You can blow bubbles bigger and
bigger and they are beautiful UIIT
til they come together."
The concession made to Russia
in letting her have veto power
in the Security Council was a
mistake, Maj. Ditton said. However,
he said, Russia is afraid of
the attitudes which might be
taken by the small nations. For
this reason, he suggested, the
General Assembly should meet
with the Security Council so all
small nations could sit in.
Don't Exclude Russia
Maj. Ditton said he didn't like
the way Russia had been excluded
from things, listing this
^s a reason for misunderstanding
and mistrust on her part. The
exclusion of Russia from the oil
conference held in London by
the United States and Great
Britain was of world interest,
since these two nations control

Tigers To Clash With Georgia Tech Saturday
Squad's Spirit High Despite
Odds Favoring Yellow Jacket
Coach Carl Voyles is gearing
his rejuvenated Tigers for Saturday's
battle against a powerful
Georgia Tech team in Atlanta
Saturday. Auburn's prospects
took a decided upswing this
weekend with a well-earned victory
over Tulane.
The boys came out of Saturday's
game with the feeling that
the Auburn's ball is just beginning
to roll. If confidence means
anything, the War Eagles may
gain revenge for last year's 26-0
defeat.
API Hit Mid-Season Pace
In the Tulane tilt, Auburn
finally found the essential back-field
blocking, which it has lacked
in earlier games. Saturday's
Auburn team didn't look like
the same eleven that the Mississippi
State Maroons routed
two weeks ago.
Abraham, Yearout, and Kiuy-kendall
showed the form that
gave them prominent early season
notice. The line play has
greatly improved; Tulane gained
48 yards net to Auburn's 230.
Tech Ouigains Navy
Tech, proved that she is one
of the powers of the Conference
by her game against the Navy
juggernaut. The Yellow Jackets
kept ahead of Navy in all de-partments
of the statistics except
the score.
Jack Peek's 70 yard touchdown
run through the Navy squad
should be fair warning to the
Tigers. Other men to watch will
be Johnny Mcintosh and George
Matthews, who are always explosive.
Due to the hard-charging Jacket
line, "Smashover "Scott,
Navy's backfield star, is on the
injured list.

Tulane threatened to score in
the last minutes of the game, but
Abraham and the entire Auburn
team held that line. The final
score Aufourn-20, Tulane-14.
Auburn Stalls Late Tulane Threat,
Defeats Rugged Green Wave, 20-14
The Auburn Tigers won their first conference game since
the '42 shellacking of Sinkwich and Georgia by outscoring
a scrappy but disorganized Tulane team 20-14 at Tulane
Stadium in New Orleans Saturday.
Bill Abraham twice saved the day for Auburn by brilliant
pass interceptions m the closing minutes of play. The first
of these was caught on the Tiger's
ten yard line with about four
minutes remaining to play. The
other he pulled down in the last
ninety seconds on the six inch
line to stave off a probable
touchdown by Tulane. He also
scored the third Auburn touchdown
and had an average of 8.13
yards per try.
Sam McClurkin's end plays
were the best offensively and
defensively of the day. He was
continually outplaying and outguessing
the Greenie's blockers
and made some beautiful tackles.
He caught a number of passes
over his shoulder in an effortless
manner that gives fans hopes for
a stronger Auburn aerial attack.
Kuykendall found himself and
began running true to 1944 form.
He was on the throwing end of
most of 'the six successful passes
and gained 121 yards.
The Tigers kicked off to Tulane
and stopped the "T" formation
cold on the Greenie's 45 yard
line. Kuykendall reeled off a 20
yard gain, but Tulane held on
their 15.
Auburn stopped Tulane again
and Kuykendall returned the
punt 14 yards.
Abraham started an 87 yard
drive by carrying for 16 yards.
On the next play Kuykendall
threw a pass to McClurkin who
was tacked after the play had
netted 47 yards. From the 16
yard line the Tigers scored easily.
Nolan Lang got three yards in
two' tries, Kuykendall got four,

86 per cent of the world's known
oil supply, and Russia should not
have been excluded.
He suggested that a conference
on the Dardanelles be called very
soon, before Russia does something
about it.
Since Russia has a definite interest
in the elections in Hungary,
the United Nations should watch
them, giving Russia the same
priviledge in some other country,
like Italy, Maj. Ditton said.
"Don't put too much faith in
the atomic bomb," he said. "Russia
may have it already."
Maj. Ditton added that he was
not inferring that Russia was
fishing for war, but that the
atomic bomb would not stop war.
Perhaps Another Angle
He said we might approach
Russia on the matter of disarmament.
Knowing that all enemies
of ours are defeated, Russia
thinks the huge peacetime fleet
to be maintained by the United
States is for use against her, Maj.
Ditton said. He said he thought
a military force necessary at present,
but that disarmament might
be possible later.

score. Smalley's try for the extra
point was blocked.
The next Auburn touchdown
came in the second period. Year-out's
30 yard pass to McClurkin
covered the major stretch of this
march, putting the Tigers on the
Tulane 18. Kuykendall scored the
touchdown; Smalley's placement
was good.
Seconds were left to play as
the Greenie's ran back the kick-off
to their own 44, and on the
one remaining play of the half,
Bill Leahy connected with Ray
Arthur for a 66 yard touchdown
pass. The place kick was good for
the extra point.
Tulane had to punt from their
own 32 in the third quarter and
Auburn went into action on its
own 35 yard line. Abraham, Kuykendall,
and Lang carried to the
Tulane 40 where Sam McClurkin
caught Kuykendall's pass for a
25 yard line. Abraham went all
the way for the score behind the
deadly blocking of Paul Beardon,
left guard. Smalley again connected.
Starting from midfield, Tu-lane's
Leahy threw two passes to
Hoot—the second one good for a
touchdown. The extra point was
sian press, Maj. Ditton said.
"We of the United States are
to be the greatest contributing
factor, and people aren't paying
much attention," Maj. Ditton said.
The first intramural games of
the season were played Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons
of last week. The same
teams will play a second round
robin on Nov. 6, 7, and 8.
Although the SAEs defeated
the ATOs 25-0, the other teams
played close games, scoring winning
points in the last quarters.
In the SPE-PDT game, the
SPEs scored in the last quarter.
Fuller threw the winning pass to
Jack Bell who ran for the douch-down.
Billy Scruggs, an outstanding
player for the SPEs,
caught a pass in the third quarter
for a 40 yard gain for his
team, but his team lost the ball
on the next play.
The KAs won their game with
the PKTs, 7-0. Bobby Carr
caught a pass to score the winning
points of the game. Gobo
Sapp, who threw the touchdown
pass, also heaved the ball to
Laney for the extra point.
The ATO-SAE game ended
25-0 for the SAEs. Baker caught
a pass in the first quarter for
the SAE's first touchdown. Mc-
Leod and Baker caught passes in
the second and third quarters to
make the score 18-0. In the fourth
period, McLeod ran for the final
score and followed with a conversion
pass.
The Sigma Nu-Kappa Sig
game was a scoreless tie, which
ended after dark. It will be replayed
next week.
OTS took their game with
Lambda Chi 13-0. Bob Stapleton
threw both douchdown passes
for OTS. G. P. Deal caught a pass
in the first quarter and took it
over the goal. Kronfield scored
the second touchdown; Rod Lancaster
caught the pass that added
the extra point.
The Sigma Chi-Pi KA game
was the closest of the week.
Borough caught Whaley's pass to
score six points for the Sigma
Chis in the second quarter. On
the extra point play, Whaley
threw a pass to Spartz to make
the score 7-0. In the fourth period
Bobby Clement threw a pass to
Jimmy Brown for a PiKA score.
Clement tried around end for the
extra point, but was touched just
before he crossed the goal line
A PiKA threat to score again
was stopped on the Sigma Chi's
fifteen yard line when they lost
the ball by interception.
Alpha Psi, one of the best
teams last year, started this season
on the losing side. The Delta
Sigs won 15-0. Wasley scored in
the second quarter for six points
for the Delta Sigs. A touchdown
by Champion was called back,
but Raymond made a safety in
the third quarter bringing the
score to 15-0. In the fourth quarter,
Scott scored the final Delta
Sig touchdown and Simms caught
the pass for the extra point.
