Players' Tryouts
Scheduled For
Thursday Night
Four Men, Eight Coeds
Needed In Cast Of
"Right You Are!"
The Auburn Players, student
dramatic society, will begin work
this week for a new play, "Right
You Are! (If You Think You
Are", by the Italian playwright
Luigi Pirandello..
According to the author, the
play is a "parable in three acts",
but actually it is a comedy of
small town gossip.
The play has been adapted to
fit the player's needs. It will be
produced in a modern treatment,
and the present version needs
four men and eight girls.
Inexperienced new players are
urged to come to the Y-Hut
Thursday night at 7:30 for try-outs.
None of the male members
of the company returned to
school this quarter, so there is a
special need for men. Freshmen
and sophomore girls can remain
until the end of the tryouts by
signing a list at the door.
Ibbie Deese is president of the
Auburn Players, arid Telfair B.
Peet is director.
The play will run for four
days. Exact dates have not been
selected, but they will be in
August.

At Student Center
Want to see your picture in
the Glomerata? Want to have
hundreds of thousands of people
stare at your picture and ask
who that hairy ape is? Or that
crummy bag?
Well to have this come about
it is of the utmost necessity that
you have your picture made on
either Wednesday, June 13 or
Thursday, June 14.
The place is Student Center
and the time is any vacant per­iod
that you may have. All you
guys just got to wear a coat and
tie.
It ain't going to cost nothing
but you must be there cause it's
the last time the photographer
will be here this summer.
Ye old Mildred Woodham is
working hard to produce a book
by the middle of the spring quar­ter,
but she must have a little
help from all you students.
Movie Shows Lr. Greene After Liberation
Auburn students will have an opportunity to attend a
world premiere showing of "Back to Bataan," starring John
Wayne, Anthony Quinn, and Beulah Bondi, at the Tiger
Theater tomorrow night.

Singing At Langdon Tonight Launches Summer Program
anned Recreation Includes Samford Swings
With Zombie's Band, Recorded Music, Movies
As one of the outstanding features of the summer recrea­tion
program, the first Community Sing will be held at 7:45
p. m. in front of Langdon Hall tonight under the direction
of Dr. F. Fagan Thompson.
In years past this feature has
attracted large audiences of regu­lar
students, summer session
teachers and administrators, and
townspeople. A cordial invita­tion
for everyone to attend has
been issued by the college.
Both piano and organ will be
used for the accompaniment. Mrs.
Wallace Tidmore will be the
pianist, and Mrs. Christine New­man
Tidwell, organist for the
Baptist Church, will be at the
organ.
The first of a series of weekly
movies of a cultural and educa­tional
nature will be given Tues­day
evening, June 19, at 8 p.-m.
in front of Langdon Hall.

New Infirmary Rules
Issued; "Sick List"
Is Discontinued
Ralph B. Draughon, Director
of Instruction, said today that
the college is endeavoring to pro­vide
adequate health service for
every student, and that the co­operation
of all students is ex­pected.
Attention of students is direct­ed
particularly to Section 4 of the
rules, which states that "Students
in need of medical attention
should report to the Infirmary.
In case the student is too ill to
go to the Infirmary, transporta­tion
will be furnished and the
student will be confined to the
hospital. Students ill enough to
be confined to bed must be
brought to the Infirmary for
treatment and care "
In the future, the hospital will
not issue a "sick list", and the
matter of excuses will be handled
as set forth in the handbook of
Rules and Regulations.
The attention of students is
also directed to Section 12 of the
regulations, which states that
the "college physician will not
give excuses for classes missed
unless the student has been con­fined
in the Infirmary under his
care, or unless medical evidence
acceptable to him is filed in his
office within 10 days after the
student returns to classes show­ing
that the student has been
under similar confinement in an­other
hospital, under the care of
another physician."
New freshmen and other new
regularly enrolled undergraduate
transfer students, who have not
filed records of physical examina­tion
with the Registrar or the
Infirmary should report at once
to the Infirmary where the ex­amination
will be made by the
Director of the Health Service,
Dr. J. W. Dennis. Failure to com­ply
will subject the student to
suspension from classes.
ENROLLMENT PASSES
LAST SUMMER'S MARK
Auburn's enrollment tor this
year's summer session has already
surpassed the number of stu­dents
enrolled last summer, ac­cording
to Mr. Charles Edwards,
registrar.
This information was given last
Monday and since that time
many additional students have
registered.
The ratio of the men to the
women is about six to five with
the men holding the "edge.
Freshmen Elections
Set For June 28
By Cabinet, WSGA
The special election for all
freshmen offices on the Execu­tive
Cabinet will be held on Mon­day,
June 28, it was announced
by. Jack Thornton, chairman of
the Electi6ns Committee. At the
same time WSGA will hold their
election for freshman represen­tative
to WSGA.
Those freshman offices which
will be filled at this election are
president of class, vice-president,
historian, and freshman repre­sentative
to the Executive Cabi­net.
To be eligible to hold office, a
student must be a first or second
quarter freshman, have a grade
point average of 2.0 overall or
have a 2.5 for the preceding quar­ter,
and be an active participant
in some extracurricular activity.
> Nomination forms must be sub­mitted
to Mrs. Wallace Tidmore

CABINET ELECTS
HEADS OF FOUR
COMMITTEES
Meeting the last week of the
spring quarter and the second
week of this quarter, the Execu­tive
Cabinet disposed of the busi­ness
at hand.
Chairman of committees were
elected. They are Barry Graves,
finance; Jack Thornton, elections;
Byron Lauderdale, social; and
Bill Laney, invitations. It was de­cided
to postpone the election of
the Chairman of the rat cap com­mittee
until a later date.
President McLeod, reporting on
this attempt to get an office for
the Cabinet, said that due to
lack of space an office could not
be provided immediately. How­ever
a desk will be maintained in
Duncan's office for the use of
the Cabinet.
Norman McLeod, Kimball
Boan, Jack Riley, Bill O'Brien,
and Bettye Blaylock were grant­ed
leaves of absence for the
summer quarter.
At the first meeting of the
cabinet for this quarter a report \2
of committee heads was given
and it was decided to have the
special election for freshmen of­fices
on June 28. Vam Cardwell
requested that WSGA be per­mitted
to hold their election for
freshman representative at the
same time. Her request was
granted providing that separate
ballots were used.
No tickets for the special show­ing
will be sold, but the purchase
of a 25 dollar war bond in Au­burn
between June 7 and 14 will
entitle any student to a pass.
There is a limit of four passes to
a person.
No Quota For Students
API students have not been
assigned a definite quota in the
Mighty 7th War Loan, but their
bonds will count on the Auburn
quota of $167,000.
Prof. W. D. Salmon, director of
the bond drive hi Auburn, said
that prospects of the towns top­ping
its quota before tomorrow
night's premiere are very good,
due to a weekend spurt of bond
buying which jumped the total
up to $154,000 present sales.
Actual Picture Shown
The picture shows the loss of
the Phillippines and the fight
with the underground until Mac-
Arthur's return. Shots of Phil-lippine
liberation are those ac­tually
made at the time.
Naval Lt. George Green, Au­burn
townsman, is shown as the
Yanks greek him after he has
been liberated.
Bonds may be bought at the
booth in front of the Tiger. Pass­es
are also issued there.
It was decided that a special
meeting of the cabinet was not
warranted before the next elec­tion.
The qualifications board
will have to meet before the
election to qualify the candidates.
Showa
To Make
New Student Officers
Are Installed At
Banquet In Clement
By taking advantage of the
magnificant opportunity to lay
a foundation for the finer, better
Auburn to come, the new Execu­tive
Cabinet may be truly out­standing,
Dr. Ben Showalter said
in an address at the installation
banquet on May 17.
The banquet was held in the
Peacock Room of the Clement
Hotel in Opelika.
Lamar Ware, out-going presi­dent
of the Cabinet, presided and
introduced the guest speaker, Dr.
Showalter, Director of Extension
Teaphing at Auburn. ,
Students Take Oath
Dr. L. N. Duncan administered
the oath to the new members of
the student government and ex­pressed
appreciation for the ef­forts
of the old cabinet to regu­late
order on the campus and
hope that the new members
would tackle the problem of in­creased
enrollment and returning
veterans with zeal and enthus­iasm.
Norman McLeod, taking over
the chair of president, made an
informal talk on Auburn tradi­tions
and promised hard work
on the part of the new cabinet to
meet the rapidly changing con­ditions
on the campus.
Meaning of Democracy
Dr. Showalter began his talk
by deliving into the meaning of
Challenges Cabinet
Auburn Better, Finer
democracy and showing that the
last hundred years have seen
more advances in technological
inventions and scientific know­ledge
than the world has ever
known. The radio, automobile,
airplane and innumerable lux-eries
have had a profound effect
upon the lives and habits and
thinking of all people.
The world has shrunk amaz­ingly,
and never before, it seems,
have we faced a future that is
so uncertain.
The speaker gave an interest­ing
sidelight on V-E day, how
we are able to celebrate it only
because of faculty planning on
the part of the Nazis—their fail­ure
to follow up the blitzing of
London, for example.
And the war brings to light
another side of the advances in
science. The vast improvements
in technology have multiplied
the powers of destruction of na­tions
trying to get in a favorable
position.
Emphasis On Profit
The imperialism of these na­tions
has been paralleled by an
expansion in economics guided
by the greed of giant cartels,
showing only too well that man's
desire for profit is greater than
loyalty to his country.
The accent on profit is not pe­culiar
to the US just as selfish­ness
is not monopolized by the
US, as can readily be seen by
drawing a comparison to the
colonial exploitation by France,
Holland, and England. Disregard
for the welfare of subject peoples
has not been on the decline in the
last few years.
There is, then, a failure on the
part of moral and political order
to parallel the development of
technological and material order.
Even in America there are warp­ed
ways of thinking, tensions
within minority groups and a
definite need for the practice of
democracy, especially in relations
with other countries, in a vigor­ous
way.
"Cooperating Together"
Democracy, in Dr. Showalter's
definition, is a way of life in
which people cooperate together,
that is, a "live and help live"
theory.
The professor went into de­tails
on the veterans at Auburn.
There are over 135 of them, many
with combat experience, many
who have been face to face with
death. They have traveled wide­ly,
undergone maturing experi­ences,
have developed impatience
with juvenility. In a short time
they will be in the majority on
the campus.
Then Dr. Showalter threw a
challenge to the new student
cabinet, to plan a program that
will rest easily on the shoulders
of the returning veterans.

If The Shoe Fits
A cup of black coffee in one hand and
an open book in the other.
Your eyes are about two-thirds shut and
you can't remember the difference be­tween
a comma splice and a sentence frag­ment.
You can't go to sleep for fear you'll
flunk your quiz and you can't stay awake
because it's 3:20 a.m.
That is a picture of you—cramming for
finals.
In words slightly profane, you declare
that when it's over, it will never happen
again. You are definitely going to study
all the way through the next quarter, you
say.
Unfortunately, so many things arise
next quarter that they crowd the studying
out. Your intentions are good enough—
you decide at least twice during the quar­ter
that you will take all next week off
so you'll have time to study before your
three week quizzes.
"Next" week or "next" quarter just-never
quite arrive. Consequently, you find
that by collecting just enough knowledge
to pass you can get by.
Actually when you do this, you miss
a vital part of your college life. Develop­ing
the power to concentrate upon the job
underway, the ability "to think through
someone else's ideas clearly, a n d the
capacity for original thinking are much
more important than learning a formula
or a history date. These traits will* not
only help you make good college grades,
they will set you on the road toward suc­cess
in your post-graduate days.'
Granted that you'll have to dig to de­velop
these in yourself, you will probably
have to drop some of the extra-curricular
activities—some, but not all. No one ad­vocates
that you give up all your fun for
studying as long as you put your college
work first.
Steady, consistent study is worth the ef­fort.
You find that studying isn't so bad once
you make it a habit. That feeling of re­lief
over not having to worry about grades
is an added benefit. Best of all, you can
send the folks 4your record knowing that
they will be proud of you.
It doesn't cost so much. But now, not
August 17, is the time to start.
Will Our Admiration Last?
We've met you, freshmen, and we like
you.
We like you for your enthusiasm, for
your firm conviction that Auburn is the
best college in the world. We like you for
making the most of what time you have
by starting API this summer.
We even like you because you remind
us of ourselves when we were freshmen.
You, just as all other freshmen classes,
looked a little out of place on the campus
the first few days, even with your new
ra,t caps and your newly attached Tiger
stickers on your notebooks.
By now your newness has worn off and
you are well on your way toward being
veteran Auburn s t u d e n t s . You have
learned that the new screen doors on Stu­dent
Center open in and that Main Gate
is something freshmen walk around.
Whether we upperclassmen k e e p on
liking you depends on you as individuals.
If you are willing to do a job as well as
you can, we will make a definite place
for you at API.
Remember, though, that o n e person
just can't do everything. We would rather
you really work at three activities than
attempt to do nine.
We think you should study regularly.
More than high grades, you will get a def­inite
satisfaction from knowing that you
are learning something new.
Your church has a special program for
students; it invites you to participate. You
can acquire a better balanced personality
by making your religion more vital.
Auburn does offer varied recreation.
You can enjoy the lake, bicycling, tennis,
bowling, .the picture show.
Purely social, but loads of fun, are the
dances, step sings, coke dates. Fraternities
are interested in you men now. Coeds will
be "rushed" by sororities next fall.
Extra-curricular activities include about
everything else you can do. Perhaps you'd
like to join the Plainsman staff, work with
the Glomerata, Glee Club, or Auburn
Players; the Debate Council will be ac­tive
this summer. AVMA, FFA, Ag Club,
Dana King Gatchell Club, the engineering
societies, pharmaceutical association, and
architectural association will help y ou
know more about your profession.
We want you to avoid some of the mis­takes
we made, so we don't advocate join­ing
every organization on the campus. At
the same time we think you can study,
take part in some religious and social life,
and join in at least one other activity.
Above all, we want you to love Auburn.
And you will really make us love you if
you will show that you have that good ol'
Auburn Spirit of genuine friendliness.
Excuse "B" Students From Finals?
To The Editor:
Efforts have been made in the last few
quarters to raise the overall scholastic
average of the undergraduate students
here at Auburn. This was done for several
reasons, not the least of which was to im­prove
the standing of the school with the
National Association of American Col­leges
and Universities, and to increase the
chances of the girls' affiliating with the
AAUW.
More stringent class attendance rules
and tightened dating regulations for girls,
both of which have not proved as effec­tive
as hoped, were some of the results.
But one method used by many schools all
over the country seems to have been com­pletely
overlooked. That is the exemption
of finals.
It appears evident that a majority of
students do not care particularly for good
scholastic averages, but with the incentive
ef exemption from finals, many of them
would make an unusual attempt to im­prove
their grades.
If a system were worked out whereby a
student who has an average of "B", or
better, in a subject, for example, would
not be required to,take the final examina­tion
unless he so wished, nearly all stu­dents
would redouble their efforts to make
a "B" and,'thus save himself the worry of
finals.
Respectfully yours,
B. L.
It's The Cokes That Count
We, as college students, are spending our
parents' money or our own money to get
an education. Right now we aren't es­pecially
interested in saving, because we
aren't earning enough to save.
If we do save any, most of us say, we'll
just have to write home and get it from
Dad. It's already hard enough on him
now.
That is logical enough to us.
But is it to a fighting American in the
South Pacific? The least we can do, he
says, is to buy a few bonds.
"No money? College studenets spend
more money foolishly than a n y other
class of people I know. Look at the money
you spend on sundaes, shakes, and cups
of coffee, not to mention cokes."
We admit it does add up—more than we
thought.
"But you wouldn't want us to deprive
the Auburn drug stores of aH- their trade,
would you?" we ask hesitantly.
"Neither would you want to deprive us
of the supplies, or more important to our
morale, food and medicine," he comes
back.
Nope. We definitely wouldn't. We def­initely
don't.
That's why we are especially interested
in supporting the "Mighty Seventh" War
Loan. It's going to need our sundae, coke,
and Java money—right now.
Maybe none of us can buy a bond, but we
can buy some war stamps. Let's do it.
Not a dime stamp or a quarter stamp,
so we can say that we did buy some. A
lot of dimes or quarter stamps. Then a lot
more. It's going to take a lot of our money,
as well as a lot of the bankers' and the war
workers', to put those GIs in Tokyo.
For those of us who can afford to buy a
25 dollar bond—or a bigger one—there are
tickets tomorrow night to the special bond
premiere of "Back to Bataan" at the Tiger.
Need we say more?
• WHAT THE AUBURN SPIRIT LOOKS LIKE
Plains-talking WHEN SOMEONE SNATCHES A RAT CAP
. . . with the staff
Certain freshmen can't help
that blank look they wear; other
just, don it when an old Auburn V
stude begins to talk.
For those who have not yet
mastered the campus lingo, we
present our own dictionary with
our own definitions.
Beat—When you get to go home
if the professor is over ten,
fifteen or twenty minutes late
to class, the time varying with
the prof.
Pinned—When a boy pulls off
that little greek badge and
sticks it on a girl, she's pinned
to him. Such a token used to
mean the same as an engage­ment
ring, but now it only
means hands off for a little /,
while.
Browning, brown nosing—Some
old thing, just apple polishing.
Zombie—You all know what a
zombie is, but this is not a
drink or a walking dead. It's
a he that leads the Auburn
Collegians.
Beagle—Not a.hound dog. Just
ye old President of the Execu­tive
Cabinet. May be identi­fied
by puns, jokes and general
corn he springs.
Street Dance—Musical cuddling-ly
match held on the street
back of Samford in the torrid
summer weather so the per­spiration
can run down t he
gutters.
Samford Clock — The clock on
top of Samford. It has lour
faces and two or three years
ago they all showed a different
time. Now they've been syn­chronized
and are all wrong
together.
Ag Hollow—According to Beagle,
it's the place where the girls
used to ag the boys on and
then the boys made their hol­ler.

By BABs
JAYWALKING
With THORNTON and LANEY
Welcome, studes! All eleven hundred of you! Glad to see
you join us in the best of all quarters—'tis said, but it doesn't
seem like it now, does it?
If you want a good chance to practice your typing, or inter­view
people or write most anything you want, you'd better
dash on around here to the Plainsman office. And if you don't
believe that anything you write will be welcome, just look
at this.
Hazing—Strictly frowned on by
the authorities and absolutely
not participated in by Auburn
students at any time (With the
exception of weekends and all
school days.)
Painting the water lower—When
you feel like standing out above
the crowd .or w h e n in the
throes of some alcoholic potion,
you scale the water tower and
paint your initials.
Vet Hill—That slight rising at
the end of West Thach inhabit­ed
by horse doctors, dogs, cats
and other domesticated animals.
May be readily identified by
the nose and ears.
Stadium — That big oval sur­rounded
by empty seat in the
day and scattered couples by
night. Sometimes used for foot­ball
games and other sporting
events.
P. E.—Physical Education. Pro­gram
includes strenuous games
of ping pong, shuffle board, and
drop the handkerchief for
broken down students.
Infirmary — Absolutely the best
place to stay away from. Stu­dents
are still missing who
daringly ventured into its

Around the
Editor's Desk
Personally, we think the new
girls' PE ruling is very unfair.
We can't think of a single
teacher—outside of the PE de­partment—
who will drop a stu­dent
from class for one cut. Even
if there are some, we are sure
they wouldn't attempt to expel
the student from API.
We can't see how two cuts in
PE will affect our learning pow­er
to any great extent—they
didn't seem to reduce it last

And then there's always these book condensations that

Seems the Sigma Nu's, the Theta Chi's and the Delta Sigs

Tis said there are certain methods by which you can al­ways
tell a freshman. We are of the opinion though that you
can't tell them much, but we do have a few tips to use in dis­tinguishing
them from upperclassmen.
He's a rat if he:
Doesn't speak. (Dogs, cats, and even professors should be
spoken to.)
Stares like a hypnotized gazelle and staggers on by when
spoken to.
Makes a lot of ignorant remarks as, "Gee, do we really
get three dollars worth of laundry1, for only a dollar." or "I bet
we don't go to school in these old buildings." (Keep your
mouth shut and soon you'll KNOW.)
Hasn't learned that vet and veteran aren't the same. (Vets
all wear white coats and run about campus yelling, "Who's
going up to the hill?")
He wears a tie or any decent looking clothes that haven't
been mangled by the Rawdeal. (Best remedy for this is to wear
an old corroded T shirt and moth-eaten pants until laundry
has time to perform traditional mutilations of your new ward­robe.)
* * *
A little peroxide will make a blonde but a quart of gin will
give the same results—tea for two is more fun if it's whiskey—
"I'm sorry, I ripped your vest", said the ADPi after being
pinned.—a girl that keeps a fellow in the dark isn't on the up
and up.—"It's tough to sit for 3 hours in a dark room and only
get negatives," said the photographer—Is that girls dress torn
or am I seeing things?—Love is the only game never postponed
on account of darkness.

With freshmen girls having to be in at 7:30 dark glasses do
come in pretty handy. You can fool yourself anyway.
of Art Appreciation: The master­piece
is a symphony played upon
our finest feelings. Approach a
great painting as thou wouldst
approach a great prince.
of Love: A woman cannot love a
man who is truly vain, for there
is no crevice in his heart for love
to enter and fill up.
of Flowers: The primeval man
in offering the first garland to
his maiden thereby transcended
the brute. He became human in
thus rising above the crude ne­cessities
of nature.
of Beauty: He who has lived with
the beautiful can die beautifully.
of Humanity: Those who cannot
feel the littleness of great things
in themselves are apt to overlook
the greatness of little things in
others.
of Music: One cannot listen to
different pieces of music at the
same time, a real comprehension
of the beautiful being possible
only through concentration upon
some central motive.

Letters to the Ed
U.S.N. Hospital
San Leandro, Calif.
May 20, 1945
Editor The Plainsman
Auburn, Alabama.
Hello,
Here's just a note from an Au-burnite
who wuz but ain't, and
is but isn't. In other words I was
at school but am not there now,
and I'm still there in spirit tho
maybe not in body.
And that's the reason for this
letter; for you see, in the past
year I have had the opportunity
to visit quite a few schools.,
Northwestern, Notre Dame, U. of
Chicago, San Diego State, UCLA,
Souther California, and the Uni­versity
of California in Barkley,
Well so what?
In spite of visiting a group of
schools which include some of
the best in the country; and in
spite of visiting these schools
again and again, I have yet to
find any one of them whose
school spirit and those friend­liness
even came close to that
seen every day at Auburn. Peo­ple
went out of their way to be
nice to me, and it was obvious.
Yet at Auburn no such action is
necessary. People are just natur­ally
friendly there. True, these
schools may boast a larger enroll­ment
and a more beautiful cam­pus.
They may boast of beautiful
marble halls of learning, and a
football stadium with a seating

Hodge Drake . . •
AN AUBURN MAN
Editor's Note: This story is re­printed
from Nancy Dickson's
"Tales of a Town" in the Lee
County Bulletin.
Hodge Drake is familiar to
townspeople and students as the
Varsity shoe shine boy. It's
Hodge's custom, with Doc Moore,
to dress up in tails come Home­coming
Game every year and
lead the cheers. So Hodge is by
way of becoming as much of an
Auburn institution as is painting
the water tower or making fresh­men
walk around the main gate.
Naturally Hodge takes some
pride in the town and college and
regards them as something not
to be tampered with. And when
the Yankee paratrooper came in
one day, ordered a shine and
proceeded* to announce that Au­burn
was a hick town if he ever
saw one he drew back looks from
the shine boy.
"Now I went to a good col­lege,"
the Northern one contin­ued.
"I don't suppose you ever
heard of Cornell University, did
you?"
Hodge drew himself up, man­aging
to muster even more
dignity than ever the top hat and
tails had provided.
"Yassuh," he retorted. "Mah
brother got his PHD from there."
* * *
The best part of the story is
that Hodge's brother may well
have got his PHD from Cornell.
At any rate his brother is presi­dent-
of the Negro College in
Huntsville.

"AIRPORTS" MAGAZINE PLAYS UP API'S PORT AS TYPICAL
STORY INCLUDES SURVEY OF MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS
Post-War Improvements Include Hangers,
Third Runway, Administration Building, Cabins
Site 33 on the New Orleans-Atlanta lighted airway—that's
the Auburn-Opelika airport owned and operated by API.
AIRPORTS, a national aviation magazine, featured a study
of the facilities, operations, revenues, and personnel in its
May issue. The API airport is cited as typical of the class III
type—which is the second largest.
Although the airport has been
in existence for more than 15
years, the college has only owned
it since the war began. Most of
its growth and expansion have
been under college management,
and it now boasts of two paved
runaways 4,000 feet long and 150
feet wide. A flight strip 5,000
feet long and a paved 50 foot
taxi strip running along the
north-south runway complete the
landing area.
The rotating beacon on the
west side of the south hanger
with course lights is visible from
any spot inside the six mile
radius which the airport serves.
A master plan for the field has
been prepared in cooperation
with the Alabama Aviation Com­mission
and the Civil Aeronau­tics
Administration.
Third Runway
This plan will provide for

After Ousting Girls
Delta Sigma Phi, Theta Chi,
and Sigma Nu fraternities have
returned to their chapter houses
which were taken over by the
school as women's dormitories at
the beginning of the war emerg­ency
program.
Moving into their house under
a special program arranged by
the school, under which the
financial management of the
house is handled as the women's
dormitories are, the fraternities
are happy to be back at home
again. Most of the members are
living in their house for the first
time, since the buildings were
rented to the school over two
years ago.
Mrs. Bertha Prowell is the
houseemother for the Delta Sigs,
Mrs. W .H. Gregory, Sr., house­mother
for the Theta Chis, and
Mrs. Jane Reid for the Sigma
Nus.
New Plan
The plan which was worked
out by the business manager of
the college. Mr. W. T. Ingram,
provides that the school will
continue paying the fraternities
the usual rent on the house and
in turn collecting room and board
from the individual members, and
a chapter room fee from the
fraternity. The college pays all
expenses incurred in operating
the house and kitchen, while the
fraternities, still allowed great
control of the house, are relieved
of the financial burden of operat­ing
a large chapter house with
their wartime depleted member­ship.
At the present time the plan is
in an experimental stage 'and is
being watched with interest by
other greeks on the campus.
This being the first time chief
dietician Julia Dykes has ever
provided meals for boys, she is
striving hard to please. Said
Miss Dykes, "We know that boys
eat more than girls and we're go­ing
to see that they get more."
One greek said, "I thought
from the way the girls at the
quadrangle griped that the food
would be awful, but I never got
anything like this at my old hash
house." <
eventual paving of a third run­way
for the field; erection of an
administration building; install­ation
of a more adequate water
supply system; additional recrea­tional
facilities; and individual
hangers with cabins attached for
accomodation of transients.
Robert G. Pitts, professor of
aeronautical engineering, is air­port
manager and assistant pro-kel,
director of buildings and
grounds, have cooperated in su­pervising
the plans. Assistant air­port
manager an dassistant pro­fessor
of aeronautical engineer­ing
is Glenn A. Scott.
A four-year degree curriculum
in aeronautical engineering was
established in 1930. Aero admini­stration,
also a four-year course
was added to the School of En­gineering
curricula in 1932. The
college had owned several planes
and encouraged improvements
on the airport, even before it
owned the airport.
School of Aviation
After the airport was sold to
the college, a school of aviation
was established to offer flight
and ground instruction for resi­dent
and extension students. The
Civilian Pilot Training Program
trailed 378 pilots.
Later 1050 pilots for Army,
Marine and United States Naval
Air Corps were trained on the
field, and at present about 45
students are enrolled in com­mercial
and private pilot train­ing.
"Run Like Commercial Field"
AIRPORTS stressed the fact
that the airport is "in no sense
a purely college airport. It is run
like any other commercial field
in the state."
Untold advantages are derived
by the 25,000 people in the area
the airport serves. Among the
benefits the community will re­ceive
at the end of the war serv­ice,
maintenance and repair,
feeder line service, transient ac­comodations
and complete equip­ment
for flight training.
For Research
The airport is serving as a re­search
and experiment station
for developing improvements in
airport design, construction, and
maintenance.
"An active program for the
training of private and commer­cial
pilots will be conducted with
an anticipated large enrollment
of trainees. In addition, the air­port
will also be used extensive­ly
as an instructional laboratory
for Auburn students," the arti­cle
adds.

Last 25 Years
For Auburn Grads
Asserts Spread of Liberty
Greatest Characteristic
Of Our Modern Times
The growth and spread of hu­man
liberty is the greatest single
characteristic of our times, de­clared
Ralph B. Draughon, di­rector
of instruction at API, in
delivering the baccalaureate ad­dress
on May 25.
Following the address Presi­dent
L. N. Duncan awarded de­grees
to 116 graduates, bringing
the total number of degrees
granted during the academic year
of 1944-45 to more than 500.
Music for the exercises was by
Professor Joseph Marino-Merlo;
invocation was given by Dr. F.
Fagan Thompson; and the bene­diction
was pronounced by the
Rev. Sam B. Hay.
All Influence Growth
"The tremendous impact of
new, time-saving inventions, plus
the development of means of
conveying ideas, plus the wide­spread
development of educa­tional
programs had contributed
to the greatest single character­istic
of our times —the growth
and spread of human liberty,"
said Mr. Draughon.
"We cannot, for example, meas­ure
what effect the fact that man
is no longer earthbound may have
had upon the more archaic poli­tical
institutions of our time.
Certainly we know that this
has been a century of political
unrest and of revolution. But
here, again, the paradox holds,
and as men have struggled to be­come
politically free, we have
seen them enslaved and perse­cuted
to a degree more horrible
than those practices of the orient­al
conquerors before the time of
Christ.
Struggle For Freedom
"These struggles for freedom
and these forms of enslavement
have revived in us a respect for
the essential wisdom in a politi­cal
system that is built about the
rights of the individual and rests
upon a system of laws rather
than of men.
"For not the least interesting
feature of our times had been the
tremendous emphasis that has
been placed upon personality.
The times, the advent of the
radio, the peace we won, the un­rest,
the warfare, the changes of
our times have made personality
a more significant factor in our
lives. According we have put it
into the curriculums of our
schools —
"As we meditate upon the great
unrest of our times and the blind
loyalty and adoration that have
been given to some of the world's
greatest criminals, we realize
anew the tremendous responsibil­ity
of leaders. And we can begin
to understand that the sense of
political power can become the
most dangerous drug to the in-

Joan Juggles Lovers
In "Affairs" At Tiger
On Sunday And Monday
Four fellows and only one gal.
Sounds like the Auburn cam­pus
before the war—but it isn't.
It's Joan Fountaines newest
movie, "The Affairs of Susan,"
due at the Tiger Theatre Sunday
and Monday.
But even a coed of "Old Au­burn"
wasn't quite up to handling
four men with matrimony on
their minds all at once. Joan's
accomplishes this feat, but only
after everyone gets dizzy—in­cluding
the gal herself. It doesn't
seem to matter that George Brent,
Dennis O'Keefe, Don DeFore and
Walter Abel are completely di­vergent
types. Joan is a woman
of many moods and finds it very
convenient to have one man for
every mood. No less than four
times she executes a near per­sonality
about-face which cap­tivates
the man of that particu­lar
moment, and has each of
the quartet completely baffled.
Says "Yes" Too Soon
Miss Fountaine, as actress Su­san
Darrell, says "yes" to Walter
Abel on returning from an over­seas
tour. But on a subsequent
visit to Susan's apartment, Wal­ter
uncovers evidence of three
other men in her life. To Abel,
it poses the question of just what
kind of a girl Susan really is.
Walter decides to find out.
With this idea in mind, he
rounds up the rival trio and a
protracted bull session follows
leaving the prospective groom
more confused than ever. The
situation is ironed out when Su­san
finally makes us her mind.

Spotlights On Auburnites
BY HAROLD DODD
A future BMOC in the making, or a potential big shot
incognito.
We can draw our own conclusions as to his future ac­tivities,
but at the present time, Ronnie Moreland, who is
our student of the week, promises to be a real supporter of
the age-old Auburn traditions.
Ronnie a first quarter freshman, says that there were
several reasons that made him decide to make Auburn his
college. Among them, friendliness of the students and pro­fessors,
and the fact that a certain professor at Duke Univer­sity
advised him that Auburn was a better engineering
school that Georgia Tech, cany quite possibly be the deciding
factors.
With the Auburn coeds, Ronnie will not shine so much,
as he is carrying the torch for some sweet young thing back
home. We can rest assured that Ronnie will keep his word to
his best girl friend; so the girls at Auburn won't make any
headway with the handsome Mobile lad.
Ronnie says that "snooker" is a new game to him, but he
plans to master it before very long. He also states that he
will keep up with his school work, and pleasure will come lat­er;
so we can readily conclude that Ronnie will be in the high- •
er bracket as far as points are concerned. Among his other
idiosycrasies, swimming, pictures shows, and tennis rate
much of his time.
In high school, Ronnie was business manager of his annual
his senior year and member of the Quill and Scroll, an Inter­national
Journalistic Society. Upon graduating, he received
honorable mention in his former school work.
"College is a big change from high school," adds More-land,
"of which no study halls rates the highest." He also says
that the professors are more congenial and understanding.
Ronnie is enrolled in the school of mechanical engineering
on the co-op basis, and before his try-out for Uncle Sam, he
will have attended Auburn for three quarters.

Fraternity, Sorority Rush Rules Issued
Pan-Hellenic Rush
For Coeds To Be
Held During Fall
Coed,s interested in pledging
sororities will sign up for closed
rushing next fall.
Summer rushing is carried on
by sororities, in order to deter­mine
just what girls they are in­terested
in pledging.
During the summer, members,
pledges, and alumnae of each
sorority are subject to the fol­lowing
Pan-Hellenic rules:
1. Summer rushing shall con­sist
of writing letters, visiting in
the homes, going to the picture
sh6w or to a drug store. Rushees
may visit in the sorority rpoms.
2. One party in the name of
the local chapter of a sorority
may be given by alumnae in any
town for local girls. No sorority
talk may take place at these
parties.
3. No mention of sororities
whatsoever, through letters or
otherwise, shall be made during
summer rushing. Sorority station­ery
may be used.
All rushees are to pay for their
own drinks, picture shows, or
other entertainment when going
with a sorority girl during sum­mer
rush.
Pan-Hellenic Council is made
up of the president and one rep­resentative
from each of the
seven sororities on the Auburn
campus. „It directs rushing and
fosters unity among the sorori­ties.

Inter-Frat Council
Decrees No Pledging
Before Sunday Noon
Two weeks of closed fraternity
rushing will end " Sunday at
midnight, according to Al Lowe,
president of the Interfraternity
Council.
After that time open rushing
will be held.
Any student may be rushed by
any fraternity. The fraternities
extend bids to the rushees prior
to midnight Friday.
A quiet period will extend
from midnight Friday until mid­night
Sunday. During this time
no rushee should discuss any fra­ternity
or its operation with any
fraternity man, rushees are not to
be approached in any way dur­ing
this period.
To accept a bid, the rushee
presents himself at the "fraternity
of his choice some time after
noon Sunday. Under no condi­tions
may a rushee enter a fra­ternity
house between Friday
midnight and Sunday midnight
unless he lives there or is re­porting
to accept his bid on Sun­day
afternoon.
Each infringement of these
rules by a fraternity will mean
a 100 dollar fine and a suspension
from the Interfraternity Council
for six months.
Interfraternity- Council is an
organization including all 17 ac­tive
fraternities on the campus.
Two representatives from each
fraternity are members of the
Council.
IFC directs rushing on the
campus. It recently adopted the
new rushing rules, which are to
be observed this quarter. It pro­motes
good relations between

SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY
Mrs. Hardin Takes Over
Dorm I and Its Girls
By Lassie Jo Rounds and
Sue Carder
Complete with blond hair and
ready smile, Mrs. Elizabeth Har­din
has arrived to take full
charge of Dorm I's girls. Her
reasons for becoming a house­mother
are simple—she loves
young girls and enjoys being with
them.
A graduate in education from
our own API, Mrs. Hardin taught
at Coffee High in Florence for
several years and then came back
to Auburn.
Maybe it's just as well that
she hates to travel since all her
time — except a few minutes
every now and then for a short
swim—is devoted to her girls.
It seems almost impossible that
such a lovely person should have
no talent. She doesn't play the
piano, sing, draw or write, but
she has a knack for picking good
music and movies. Her favorites
among the stars are Clark Gable
and Ingrid Bergman.-
Any novel with a historical
background rates tops, and she
eats up classical or semi-classical
music. None of this boogie-woogie
stuff goes for her, but a solid,
sweet and low-down piece will
send her down the road any day.
Yes, Dormitory I has already
been greatly blessed by Mrs.
Hardin's presence.
Reading For Recreation

New Head Of Dorm III
By Dama Wills
Miss Edris Hughes, who has
been teaching at Ramsey High
School in Birmingham, is taking
Miss Carmen Croft's place as
Head of Hall in Dormitory III

here formerly in the capacity of
housemother for the Chi Omega
sorority. Though originally from
Indiana, she has now become a
southerner by adoption.
Miss Hughes received her B. S.
at the University of Alabama
and a degree in art from the
Herren Art Institute in Indian­apolis.
She has been aboard
twice, once with the Traveling
University which took along its
own professors and visited Eng­land,
France, Germany, Italy,
Czechoslovakia, and several other
countries.
She is a member of Delta Kap­pa
Gamma and Kappa Delta Pi,
both national honor education
societies.
Reading for recreation and
games of all sorts are favorite
past time of Miss Hughes. She is
also greatly interested in avia­tion,
and has served over 1000
hours in the Air Warning Serv­ice
in Birmingham.
Besides ably taking care of
her duties as Head of Hall, Miss
Hughes is teaching Freshman
Problems in Color in the School
of Architecture and the Arts.
Master sergeant William M.
Prather, Dadeville, has been
awarded the Bronze Star with
the 15th AAF in Italy. He al­ready

Catholic Mass Comes
At 6:30 A. M. Daily
By Maria Duchac
In the Catholic Church on East
Magnolia, there are two Masses
on Sunday at nine o'clock and
eleven o'clock. Miraculous Medal
Novena follows each Mass. Dur­ing
the week, Mass is at 6:30 a.m.;
however, this week there will be
no daily Mass because of the re­pairs
and improvements being
made on the church. Four Ger­man
prisoners are painting the
walls and working on the grotto
for our Blessed Mother.

Church of Christ offers a special
Sunday night forum at 7 to mem­bers

other is conducted by E. Winston
Burton at 7:45 each Sunday even­ing.
A round-table discussion takes
place on Wednesday night at 7:45.
A much larger crowd came to
the dance than was expected,
because of the lack of publicity;
but further increase in attend­ance
is looked for as more stu­dents
learn of the dances.
According to Kirtley Brown,
director of student activities, the
college plans to sponsor six
street dances with orchestra and
four with juke box. In addition
to dances, the recreation pro­gram
includes campus singing
every Wednesday night from 7:45

Jewish Rabbi Conducts
Services Once A Month
By Leonard Lewis
The Jewish students are a small
group on the Auburn campus
and due to the lack of a perman­ent
place of religious worship in
the city of Auburn, our activities
are rather limited.
We are fortunate however in
having Rabbi Eugene Blach-schleger
from Temple Beth-El in
Montgomery to visit our group
monthly at which time we hold
services, have discussions, and
recreational programs.
Other than this, we have no
group organizations and are
grateful for the generosity and
kindness of the other religious
faiths on the campus who have
made us welcome to many of
their social programs and facili­ties.

Scene Of Sunday Supper
By Jimmy Williams
"Which way did the sugar go,
George?"
You would probably hear
something like this if you should
pass Westminster House at about
6 o'clock any Sunday after­noon
'cause 6 o'clock is the time
that supper is served, thus be­ginning
an evening filled with
fellowship, loads of fun, and
Christian worship—thus begin­ning
Westminster Fellowship.
To those of you who don't al­ready
know, Westminster House
is the Presbyterian Student Cen­ter,
located next door to the Pres­byterian
church.. Westminster
House is open at all times; here
you can play ping-pong, bad­minton,
meet for informal get-togethers,
read, and even study.
Then there is our semi-month­ly
publication, "The Westminster
Echo", which keeps everyone
posted as to what goes on, and
gives voice to any who wish to
express themselves, and we have
quite a few who just delight in
mandibular manipulation (by the
way, I've had 102 English).
Prayer Service
At 7 on Thursday riight the
soft strains of the organ begin
our prayer service. The only
lumination for the service being
the rays of a shining Cross. This
service each week is led by a stu­dent,
lasts only thirty minutes,
and you will find it most in­spirational.
Sunday school class
meets in Westminster House at
9:45 each Sunday morning.
Officers of Westminster Fel­lowship
are James Williams, pres­ident;
Jane Southerland, vice-president;
Mary Swindall, sec­retary;
and Bill Peace, treasurer.
To all the new Presbyterian
students we would like to say
welcome—welcome to all the Au­burn
Presbyterian church has to
offer you in building a richer
and more worthwhile life while
on the Auburn dampus.

dividual. And we can appreciate
the necessity of choosing our
leaders wisely and limiting their
powers by law. Where personal­ity
and force of character are the
only criteria, the end result for
a people can be ruin and despair,
and the end for such a leader may
be a rattle of gunfire from a
city square.
New Hope
"Finally, lest you become too
discouraged over the prospects
ahead of you, let me say that
we relics of a lost generation of
sad young men have found in
your generation new hopes for
the future of mankind. What need
to tell you to be of good cheer
wheen we have seen you endure
incredible hardships with a grin?
And what need to speak to you
of courage when your generation
has given to courage higher
means that it had for us? A gen­eration
that can endure hard­ship
with gayety and face the
last great adventure with a wise
crack needs no advice from us."
The Plainsman staff asked several Auburn professors
what their conception of an "ideal" student is.
The professors speak for themselves:
. Frank W. Applcbee, head professor of applied art:
The "ideal" student is interested in ideas, as well as in
factsand skills. His mind is open to any subject; not closed by
prejudices. He will try to assimilate and relate ideas, and
will, occasionally, contribute a thought or an opinion.
He does not put too much trust in any textbook and will
challenge a teacher's statement if it seems dubious (some­thing
that works well if the teacher is "ideal" also). This
student strikes a happy balance between work and play.
* * *
George Marion O'Donnell, assistant professor of English:
A good student is simply a human being (we often use
the phrase too loosely, including everyone who walks up­right)
who is studying. That is, he has a reasonable amount
of native intelligence, a sense of humor, and enough curiosity
about human experience to try to understand it, knowing
that the attempt is difficult and the answers are not easy to
find^-if they exist at all.
* * *
Mrs. Dorothy Dean Arnold, assistant professor of home
economics:
An ideal student—that is a big order, I am afraid -I can­not
fill it, but I am happy to contribute my opinion.
An ideal student is:
A student that likes work, accepts the job that is his and
does it to the very best of his ability.
A student that likes people, likes to work with people,
likes to help people.
A student that likes recreation, likes fun and laughter.
A student that has sound economic principles.
A student that knows values, and can select the most im­portant
ones.
A student that is loyal to his family, his friends, his church,
his college, and his country.
* * *
Zebulon Judd, dean of the School of Education:
The intelligent student will have a philosophy of life. He
will plan his education accordingly. His whole college life
will be arranged in harmony with his philosophy of life and
his educational objectives.
' The best student is- the critically intelligent student. He
will at all times subject his plans, programs, and activities
to a critical evaluation in terms of his objectives. By means
of this evaluation, he will subject his purposes and plans to
continuous revision.
He will continually make the most effective adjustment
of himself possible to his college environment with the view
of realizing in the fullest measure possible his cherished pur­poses
and objectives.
The ideal student is the intelligent student. The intelligent
student knows what he wants—the grand desideratum. He
continuously revises his objectives and procedures in terms
of his developing philosophy of life.
He is optimistic in the knowledge that man is an intelli­gent
animal, that civilization is the result of man's intelli­gence
acting upon his environing world.
The ideal student understands and subscribes to the phi­losophy
of Ambassador Page:
"I believe in the perpetual regeneration of society, in the
immortality of democracy, and in growth everlasting".

What Every Freshman Needs To Know
Rats, Rat lets Should
Learn Rules As Well As
They Know Own Name
Auburn Rats and Ratettes, be­ware!
Auburn tradition has a pattern
for your life as a freshman. Au­burn
upperclassmen are here to
see that you carry out this plan.
So here are your Rat Rules,
which you must know as well as
your own name.
1. Do not walk through the
main gate under a n y circum­stances.
Walks around the Gate
have been constructed for your
use.
2. Always carry matches for
use of upperclassmen.
3. Obtain and learn thoroughly
the "Rat's Excuse For Living,"
so that you may repeat it with
proper expression upon the re­quest
of any upperclassman.
4. Speak to absolutely every­one
you meet on street or cam­pus.
5. All freshmen will be present
at all mass meetings.
6. Learn and be able to sing
Mater.
7. Know the location of certain
familiar landmarks which you
may be asked to direct one to—
landmarks as familiar as the pet­rified
stump, the stadium, and
Zoo number such and such. (Ed's
note: In the good pi' days, the
Quadrangle was referred to as the
Zoo.)
8. Wear your Rat cap at all
times.
9. Learn the Auburn Creed
thoroughly.
And here are the rules which
were compiled for Ratettes—
freshmen co-eds.
1. Don't hang around the necks
or the key chains of the BMOCs.
2. Don't walk across the grass.

My dear Young Friends:
We take great pleasure in wel­coming
you to the Summer

We are especially pleased at
the numbers of new students
who have come to the campus
this week. It is our sincere hope
that you will begin your duties
seriously and devote the neces­sary
time to your studies, and at
the same time enjoy yourselves

among the students and the fac­ulty.
Nothing is more important
than making a good start on your
college careers.
We are happy that so many of
our older students have returned
for the Summer Quarter. The
pressure of these times makes it
highly important that you com­plete
your professional training
as early as is consistent with
sound and effective learning. We
hope that you will lend your aid
and assistance to our new stu­dents
in their efforts to get the
true Auburn spirit of friendliness,
democracy and ability to tackle
any job and do it well.
We, especially, greet the re­turning
veterans from this great
war. We are happy to have you
in Auburn, and hope that you
may find here the effective in­struction
that will enable you to
fit yourselves for the careers you
have chosen.
Let us all be good citizens and
true Auburn Men and Women—

work to be done and playing
hard when recreation and fun are
needed to balance our lives and
personalities.

not offered by the school.
You've unpacked your bag- re­ferring
to suitcase and not that
blonde babe on the train — and
are now prepared to take over
from us study-stymied studes.
But first slip into you first pair
of longies and listen to how Au­burn
studes have been stewing
for generations.
Hazing's Out—So They Say
You came to Auburn for an
education—well that's what the
old man thinks anyway. To get
an education a brain is more or
less of a necessity. Save it, it's
yours, and besides it may prove
useful->on some of the quizzes
you'll have. The rest of your
body, notably your back side, we
will convert to our own use; it
is located in a most advantageous
position for our purpose.
Rou have ambitions I know.
You may wish to be a BMOC,
or a college hot, or even a foot­ball
hero, or you might have
come to college for knowledge
like that fellow that was here in
1923.
Anyway whatever you want to
do or be, you can—as long as it
isn't immoral, dishonest, unethi­cal
or sensible, and of course
meets with the approval of the
administration from the president
down through the man that
spreads fertilizer on the grass.
Class or Campus?
Classes, being one of the more
important questions on the cam­pus,
I will dismiss with the
statement that besides being im­portant
they also are very un­pleasant,
especially in the after­noon.
However there is one
thing I want to make clear. The
quizzes at Auburn are all con­ducted
on the honor system. This
you will readily see when the
professor seats the class alphabet­ically
two seats apart—just a re­minder
of. course that Auburn is
on the honor system.
Now comes the more important
phases of college, campus life.
The student body is divided into
three factions, the drinkers, the
sociable sippers, and the teetotal­ers.
The first may be found night­ly
at the Windmill, the second at
frat houses on Saturday night
and the third at Social Center.
And every once in a while the
teetotalers have a good time too.
Auburn's Student Creed
Auburn's own Dean George Petrie wrote an Auburn Stu­dent's
Creed last year. It, more than anything else ever writ­ten,
embodies the true sentiment of the Auburn Spirit. We
pass it on to you freshmen, to learn, adopt, respect, and abide
by.
I believe that it is a practical world and that I can count
only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to
work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skill­fully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I can­not
win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that
is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights
of all.
I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy
with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings hap­piness
for all.
I believe in my country, because it is a land of freedom
and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that
country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly
with my God."
And because Auburn men and women believe in these
things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
Decide soon which camp you'll
enter and then come on out to
the Windmill with us.
Dances, Coeds, and Curies
Dances abound on the campus.
Every Saturday night most of
the studes—and some of the not-so-
steweds — take a musical
workout at one of the local
gyms. And, rat, you'd really bet­ter
wear your sweat clothes, for
in addition to the summer
warmth, the heat generated by
the ethereal bodies of^ some of
the local angels—better "known as
coeds—is terrific.
You all kno wwhat a coed is;
that's something that puts en­joyment
in a school and" takes
education out.
You can start laying your plans
For dating now. You may date
one girl all of the time or you
may play the field. It all depends
on whether you'd rather have a
little honey in preference to a
lot of sugar. A little honey seems
preferable for the summer quar­ter
though.
The OPA is predicting a sugar
shortage for the latter part of the
year but I predict the shortage
will be most acute here in Au­burn
for the next three months
with a great increase in allot­ment
come registration for the
winter quarter. Let us all share
what sugar we have, and hope
and pray that it last throughout
the summer.

capacity of 800,000, but they can't
boast of two of the most import­ant
things in the world, and these
are found in Auburn. They are
seen and done by you every day,
and they are "friendliness to
each and all" and "a school unity
and spirit second to none."
Yep; and once you've experi­enced
it you will never be satis­fied
elsewhere. That's why you
can be "assured that Auburn's per­centage
of students who will re­turn
to the same school will be
the highest ever. Just ask the
man who's been there.
Waaarh Eaglely yours,
Kinne R. Sutton U.S.N.R.
Class of 19??
To the Class of '48,
Maybe '48 seems a long way off
to you freshmen entering now,
yet it really won't be long. We
welcome you to Auburn, "the
loveliest village of the plain,"
as you make your start toward
the distinction of being the class
of '48.
The name Auburn stands only
for what its students are willing
to give to that name. One thing
that Auburn stands for is "the
friendliest college in America."
We are proud of that distinction
and we want you as freshmen to
help in keeping the spirit of
friendship alive by speaking to
everyone you meet.
Other traditions t h a t you
should learn to abide by are
walking around Main Gate;
wearing your rat cap at all times;
learning the rat's excuse for liv­ing
immediately and being able
to say it at any time without
h e s i t a t i o n ; memorizing both
verses of the Alma Mater; and
understanding and living the
ideas embodied in the Auburn
Creed.
All these things may seem
strange at first, but you will
get accustomed to them in time.
You wil learn to love Auburn
more quickly by abiding by our
traditions.
We wish each of you a cherry
"good luck" as you start on your
college career. Remember, Au­burn
will be true to you as long
as you are true to Auburn.
Yours for a great Auburn,
Norman "Beagle" McLeod

BOB ZUPPKE WILL
VISIT VOYLES AS
GUEST COACH
In these days of guest com­mentators,
guest columnists and
guest stars in general, a guest
coach is in order.
The great Bob Zuppke, for al­most
thirty years the wizard of
Illinois is coming to Auburn for
a week or ten days the latter
part of the month.
The main idea, however, is a
good visit with one of his favor­ites
of the coaching field, Carl
Voyles.
Voyles was freshman coach at
Illinois for six years, and he al­ways
has looked upon Zupp as
his best friend in the coaching
ranks. And the old man is just as
fond of Voyles—else he wouldn't
be emerging from his hermitage.
He has turned down many offers
and invitations since being re­tired
at Illinois.
4 Auburn Players
Get All-Star Bids
Four outstanding football play­ers
Auburn watched through
spring practice have been asked
to play with the College All-
Stars against the Green Bay
Packers in Chicago in the an­nual
preview game in late Aug.
They are Tex Warrington,
Curtis Kuykendall, Bill Harris
and Foots Woods.
All four have accepted the
bids. '
Warrington, Auburn's great
All-American center, and Kuy­kendall,
one of the nation's ten
leading ground gainers in 1944,
were co-captains of the 1944
team.
Warrington is a new member
of the coaching staff, being in­eligible
for further varsity play.
Though Auburn did not have
a great 1944 season, Auburn play­ers
have received many honors
for their performances.
The College All-Stars should
be well off for center, as both
Warrington and Harris star at
that position. Woods, originally
a guard, was used in spring prac­tice
as a blocking back. Kuy­kendall
is a ball-carrying back,
and a good one.
Warrington and Kuykendall
played in the Blue-Gray game in
Montgomery, and turned down
invitations to play in the East-
West game. So the inviation to
Chicago is their third all-star
bid.
Bill Harris, a Navy dischargee,
and Woods, an old Crimson jstar,
came here eary in the year.

Duncan Gives Figures
War Workers Trained
By Auburn Since 1940
"Exactly 38,506 persons have
been trained by API in courses
preparatory for war work," Pres­ident
L. N. Duncan said at gradu­ation
exercises on May 25.
"From December, 1940, the col­lege
cooperated fully with the
Army and Navy in the use of its
facilities for special war training
programs, while at the same time
continuing as usual regular work
in all curricula for civilian stu­dents,"
said Dr. Duncan."
Courses For Vets
"Now that we may look for­ward
to an end of the great con­flict,
the college is making prep­aration
to take care of the many
young men and women now serv­ing
their country in the Armed
Forces or in industry who will
wish to continue their education.
In addition to strengthening our
regular curricula we are develop­ing
a number of short curricula
especially adapted for veterans
who can remain in college for
only a short period. Especially
are we taking steps to provide
adequate counseling facilities for
our returning Veterans as well as
for regular students."
Dorms Will Be Built
"As soon as we are permitted
to do so, we expect to begin the
construction of dormitories for
both men and women in order
that we may be able to properly
house the thousands of students
who will enter Auburn."
"Already some 125 Veterans of
World War II have enrolled un­der
provisions of Public Law
16, the Vocational Rehabilitation
Act, and Public Law 346, the so-called
G. I. Bill of Rights. This
number will increase sharply in
the coming quarters."
'g/A.L YEG/eoOT
Pre-war Auburn f o o t b a ll
player Bill Yearout, has return­ed
to try for a comeback after
four years at war and in war
plants. In 1941 Yearout was
considered a great backfield
prospect.

TEAM HARD HIT
BY AIR CORPS
Jim McDaniel, blocking back
of the 1944 Auburn Tigers, left
recently to join the Army Air
Corps.
Jim's departure leaves only
one man of all the 1944 backs
still definitely available for
Coach Carl Voyles' 1945 team-
Dan Hataway.
Preceding McDaniel to the Air
Corps were Billy Ball, Herb
Hawkins and Russ Inman.
Curtis Kuykendall graduated
quarter from vet school but still
has a year's eligibility. However,
he must report back to his draft
board and be reclassified. He
had been deferred pending gradu­ation.
Nolan Lang dropped out of
school and his return is uncer­tain.
Hal Watkins, brilliant passer
and kicker, was advised by his
doctor to quit during spring
practice^
Hunter Owen, number one
