ELIGIBILITY IN INTRAMURALS SETTLED
IN IFC ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSION
"Physically Unfit" Students May Still Play
If Parents Sign Waiver Releasing College
By Jack Thornton
After a week of discussion, an
agreement has been reached be­tween
the Interfraternity Coun­cil
and the Intramural Board as
to the eligibility rules for parti­cipants
in Intramural sports on
the campus.
The latest decision by the
school is that those students ex­cused
from physical education
and those taking restrictive PE
may participate in sports if they
get a health certificate from Dr.
Dennis at the ^Infirmary.
Parents Sign Waiver
In case the college physician
finds that a student is physically
unfit to take part in strenous ex­ercise,
vthat person may still play
if he has his parents approve his
playing after they have examined
a copy of the doctor's report and
released the college from all
liability in case of accident.
If the student is over 21 he
may sign the waiver himself. Un­til
his parents have had time to
examine the report and approve
it the student may play by tem­porarily
signing the waiver him­self.
Remedies Discussed
After countless meetings which
culminated in the Interfraternity
council withdrawing from Intra­mural
sports competition, a con­ference
of fraternity leaders was
called by Mrs. Ralph Draughon in
which the situation was discussed
throughly and possible remedies
suggested. The proposal which
was. finally reached was the same
as the decision agreed upon by
the Administration.
A committee consisting of,Al
Lowe, Rob Wifljamsl Buel John­son,
and Jimmy Acree was ap­pointed
to meet with Kirtley
Brown, director of student af­fairs,'
Ralph B. Draughon, direc­tor
of instruction, Dr. Jep Dennis,
college physician, and Coach Bob
Evans, head of the intramural de­partment
to draw up the plan
and present it to Dr. Duncan.
Final Details
The committee meeting that
same night worked out the de­tails
that were finally agreed
upon.
As yet the Interfraternity
Council has not officially re­entered
soft-ball competition but
no difficulty is expected on this
count and the league games as
previously scheduled are being
played out.
Engineers To Enter
Depleted Field As
Result Of War
There is a bright future ahead
for the graduate Auburn engi­neers.
According to a joint report
of the American Council on Edu­cation
and the National Research
Council, the welfare of the na­tion
will be threatened for the
next 20 years by a shortage of
engineers, scientists, doctors, den­tists
and other professionally
trained men.
According to the report t he
students enrolled in engineering
number 75,000 less than in the
pre-war years. This has been
brought about by the induction
into the army or hiring for war
work and majority of the men
of college age in the country.
Hardest Hit
The medical profession and the
dental schools are hardest hit by
the lack of students. If enroll­ment
in medical schools c o n ­tinue
at the present rate there
will be 19,000 fewer doctors
available after the war. As for
dentists, the nation faces a criti­cal
shortage as the freshman stu­dent
enrolled now represent only
one-tenth the number necessary
for our normal dental care.
Since the war began, Canada,
GreaJo.Bntain, and Russia have
continued to train their profes­sional
men at the pre-war rate
and in some cases have even in­creased
the number of men
trained in some technical fields.
Omega Tau Sigma Wins
IFC Scholastic Cup
Omega Tau Sigma was award­ed
the scholastic cup for having
the highest fraternity average by
Al Lowe, president of the Inter­fraternity
Council at t h e last
meeting.
Fraternity and sorority ratings
have not yet been released by the
Registrar. They will be published
next week.
Interfaith Council Goes 'South Of Border'

quarter seniors are going to
trod that long last mile f or
their sheepskins clad in the tra­ditional
caps and gowns—that
is if Ihey all go by Burtons
Bookstore to be measured be­fore
Wednesday afternoon.
Otherwise they're likely to
appear p r e t t y c o m i c a l if
crammed into tight and skimpy
robes or swallowed in tent-like
gowns.
The senior class voted as a
body to wear the caps and
gowns at the exercises so let's
all go by and get measured for
the things.
Hill Tuesday afternoon
Mimeographed Jawbones ap­pear
each month; once each quar­ter
a magazine is printed.
The twenty-page magazine was
edited by Jimmy Smith, former
sports editor of the Plainsman,
until his induction in the Army
in May. Bob Sharman, former
editor of the Plainsman, took
over until his graduation. Serv­ing
as editor since the beginning
of this quarter has been Jimmy
Williams.
Stories about the fraternity, its
members, jokes, and pictures fill
the magazine. .

MUTINOUS JAYWALKERS ATTEMPT
INTIMIDATION OF SLASHER SIMMS
Dear Miss Simms:
While browsing leisurely through one of your antiquated
Plainsman—namely the issue of last week—we chanced upon
a microscopic column which upon further examination and
to our chagrined surprise, proved to be none other than our
most dearly beloved Jaywalking, cut into such ribbons that
even we proud paters ourselves had much difficulty in
recognizing any similarity between the bleeding remnants
and our brilliant offspring which we delivered into your
scissor wielding possession, only four short, happy days ago.
After surveying the corpus delecti, we were rather in­clined
to hold a short prayer and bury the remains but upon
second thought decided to give birth to an even stronger
brain child of such high morals that even your bloodied,
slashing shears would not be able to penetrate.
Miss Simms we plead, beg and demand that you have
mercy upon our future Jaywalkings' so that they may not
experience the cutting shame which you have inflicted upon
our previous altruistic endeavors.
We seek solely to entertain the. high and lofty minded stu­dents
of this ethicalogical institution of ours with no
thoughts as to the possible retaliation which some industrious
goader might visit upon us. Furthermore we think it ain't
fair at all.
Sincerely,
Bill Laney

FOREST RESEARCH
IS ACCELERATED
BY NEW PROGRAM
Arrangements and agreements
leading to an integrated forest re­search
program between the
Agricultural Experiment Station,
API, and the U. S. Forest Serv­ice,
were discussed here July 2
by M. J. Funchess, station di­rector,
and John R. Curry, in
charge of forest management,
U. S. Southern Forest Experi­ment
Station, New Orleans.
Mr. Curry will leave Thursday
with Prof. L. M. Ware, head of
the station's department of horti­culture
and forestry, for a 10-day
trip to inspect forest areas in
nine Alabama counties prepara­tory
to establishment of forestry
units for experimental work.
The counties to be visited are
Tallapoosa, Clay, Randolph, Cal­houn,
St. Clair, Walker, Marion,
Winston, and Tuscaloosa, five of
which requested consideration.
The areas to be visited were se­lected
because of the importance
of forestry to the county, because
of condition of forest stands, and
because of the need of informa­tion
upon which specific forestry
programs for the areas may be
based.
saving will be held at Prather's
Lake Monday, July 9 at 2:30 p.m.,
according to an announcement
this week by the Lee County
chapter of the American Red
Cross.
The classes will be taught by
Natchitoches, La.
By Bill Laney
The Auburn Student Executive
Cabinet held its regular meeting
Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Bronze Youmans, acting during
the absence of Norman McLeod,
presided.
The cabinet was asked to ap­prove
a contract made by the
college and the Invitations Com­mittee
with the Star Engraving
Company of Houston, Texas. Ap­proval
was unanimous.
To Revise Constitution
A lengthy discussion was held
concerning the editorial that was
to appear in the current issue
of the Plainsman, and the mem­bers
agreed wholeheartedly that
the present Constitution was in­adequate
for the body to func­tion
properly. Plans were made
to revise it in September, when
the members on leave-of-absence
have returned.
Zombie Lauderdale was un-anamously
elected chairman of
the Rat Cap Committee, and the
Invitations Committee was ap­proved.
Name Band?
Zombie talked about the pos­sibilities
of obtaining financial
backing so that a "name" band
might be brought here for Home­coming.
After some discussion,
President Youmans suggested
that Zombie talk further with
Dean Marion W. Spidle and Mr.
Kirtley Brown, and see if some
assistance could not be had from
the Social Life Committee or
directly from the college.
The next regular meeting of
the Cabinet will be held Monday,
July 23 at 5 o'clock in Samford
209. The public is invited to these
I meetings.
The unit will come to the cam­pus
on September 24, according to
a letter from Capt. D. L. Maderia,
director of training for the Bu­reau
of Naval Personnel.
Auburn's quota is two hundred
students. None of these will be
transfers from the V-12 units.
They will come either directly
from the fleet or other Naval
establishment.
Three-Day Visit
The visit will last three days.
During that time the inspectors
will meet in a general assembly
with the Council of Dean, and
heads of all departments Jn Dun­can
Hall to explain the NROTC
program.
An academics meeting, a gen­eral
survey, a visit to the entire
campus, and a final meeting are
scheduled for the inspectors.
According to the letters from
Capt. Madeira, students may par­ticipate
in athletics and other
extracurricular activities as long
as it does not interfere with their
academic work.
Students in the first term of
college must not participate in
intercollegiate sports, the letter
added.
Aubrifh had already been ap­proved
for a Naval ROTC unit,
but the- inspection of facilities
has not yet been made by the
Navy Department.
During this visit definite plans
for the program of the trainees
will be laid.
Scrap Paper Drive Set
For Saturday, July 14
"The situation is now more
critical than it has ever been."
This is the report of the scrap
paper committee of the Jaycees,
who will sponsor a scrap paper
drive on July 14.
Coyt Wilson will be chairman
of the collections. Alpha Phi
Omega, Chi Omega and the Au­burn
Boy Scouts will assist in the
city-wide canvass.
Students are urged by Joe
Hooton, president of Alpha Phi
Omega, to begin saving p a p er
today. Auburn's goal is 20 tons,
and every resident must cooper­ate
if we are to top this, he said.
Salvaged paper is used in
packing a n d shipping, almost
every product used by our fight­ing
men. Range finders, dental
supplies, penicillin, radar crystals,
mine predictors, as well as ac­tual
weapons are packed in
paper.
Paper should be tied in bundles
and placed near the curb.
Classes In Swimming, .
Life Saving, Opened
Monday At Prather's
An organization meeting for
classes in swimming and life
saving was h e l d at Prather's
Lake, Monday, at 2:30 p.m. The
class is still open to any student
who would like to enter.
Classes are held every day and
Miss Annie Lou O'Grady, API
senior in physical education, who
recently returned from the Na­tional
Aquatic School held at
Natchitoches, La., is instructor.
The school is among the re­gional
ones held each summer
by the ARC to give training in
swimming and life saving. Miss
O'Grady is the first person ever
to represent the Lee County
Chapter at such a school.
Everyone interested in enroll*
ing in the Prather's Lake classes
is urged to be present at the ap­pointed
time and to bring a bath­ing
suit.

JAYWALKING
With THORNTON and LANEY
THE CAMPUS POWERHOUSE — Be­cause
three freshman babes (all trying
to be popular) fell in "love" with him
and six other guys last September, the
CP is bloated with a sense of irresistable
Don Juanism—He has been introduced
to 90 percent of the coeds and he's on
drooling terms with all of them —His
life struts from one ice cream soda to
another — His vocabulary does not ex­ceed
2500 words, but it is teeming with
all friendly and unusual appellations
such as toots, honey, dearie, sweetheart,
babe, angel, light-of-my-life, dream-girl
—Not realizing that girls want to be dat­ed,
he is groggy with conceit for every
time he asks, they give him the OK—
should he encounter a negative Greek-ette,
he stumbles away indignant, and
questions the heroine's sanity—The Cam­pus
Powerhouse is the world's unlucki-est
fellow. He ascertains his worth on
the approval of women.
* * *
ORCHIDS TO —
The many, many faculty members who
favor a plan of exemption of finals.
The progressive educators on the cam­pus
who de-emphasize quizzes and put
importance on the actual work in the
course.
ONIONS TO—
The Auburn City Council, composed
mostly of merchants whose business is
supported 99 percent by API, who re­fuses
to permit students to erect benches
for hitch-hikers. The students politely
suggest a reconsideration on the part of
the merchants.
B&G for the paved gullies, known as
"walks", over the campus.
* * *
Have you ever called one of our beau­teous
coeds for a date? And have you
been refused? If so, you've experienced
the turndown of which there are all kinds
and types. And at one time or another
we've heard them all—in fact it might
be said that the only persons with more
turndowns to their credit are the mem­bers
of "Bedmakers Union. Local No. 4 "
The polite refusal with little encour­agement
is rarely used by Auburn coeds.
If she speaks to you and thinks you can
manage the long hard journey to the
Quadrangle she gave some signs of
wanting you to call again. You might
remember this type around some large
military post, for it is as prevalent there
as flunked courses are at Auburn.
The regretful "no" is very popular in
the village with all of the babes trying
to keep a lot of males on the string.
Sooner or later though they will have
some knotty problems to solve.
* * *
There are a great many types of this
refusal such as, "Golly I'd like to go but
I promised my old broken down uncle
that I'd come out to his farm and eat
chitling sandwiches and buttermilk with
him next Thursday. I know you'll call
again won't you?"
Or, "Oh if you had just called 5 minutes
sooner. I just made a date with this hor­rible
boy I can't stand (she's been hold­ing
her breath for two weeks waiting for
him to call) and I can't possibly break it
cause he'd see us and get so mad he'd
tear up paper napkins by brute strength.
Maybe some other time huh?"
* * *
The "please call me back babes" are
the most maddingly bits of sheer femin­inity.
Typical of this type is, "My brother
(mother, papa, sister, third cousin on
her great uncle's side) might get off Wed­nesday
from work in the Alayam factory
and I'd have to stay with him (her, i t ) .
Could you call back Wednesday night
about 9 and if he's not here by then I'll
go. Now don't forget."
All girls of this type should be forced
to eat broken beer bottles spiced with
stale beer and corroded onions.
* * *
The crowning thorn in the side of the
downtrodden male is "Alibi Irene, the
stand-up fiend". For a better date (car,
money, place to go) she'd break a date
with her long-lost husband.
Her excuses run something like this,
© ESQUIRE. INC., 104S
Reprinted from t h e May issue of Esquire
"Fnth,erl You keep out of this'
mm
Turndowns may be classified in five
main categories; the emphatic no—or to
hell with you; the polite refusal with lit­tle
encouragement—or if you happen to
call when I have nothing better to do
than read Valdermeus' "Psychological
Problems of the Warrior Beetle", I might
let you take me to the show; the regret­ful
"no"—or "Oooh Joe (or J im or Dan or
Xerxes) I wish you'd called sooner, but
you'll keep trying, won't you?"
* * *
The cream of the crop, though, is the
"I don't exactly know"—or "Please call
back at 8:30 (or Wednesday, or 3 months
from day after yesterday); and the sec­ond
line of defense method i n which you
are given the date only to have her come
up with an airtight alibi at the last min­ute.
-
The emphatic "no" we will dismiss as
of little consequence; she is probably a
little prejudiced because you put that
rattlesnake down her back.
On the other hand if your list of nos
begins to increase like the miles on the
speedometer of a push-it get the largest
magazines and read the advertisements
to see which of the social maladies you
are suffering from.
s>s?f*?#$Ohv Junior,, "£m -so disappointed bu*<»i-*>
can't go tonight. My left gall bladder is
acking something terrible and if I were
to take it out in this weather I just know
it'd kill me." Or "I wish I could go but
my husband just got back from his trip
to the city and he wants me to stay at
home the first night he's here."
There is no compromise here, all of
these creatures ought to be carried out
and shot down like dogs.
All in all though the fact remains that
as long as there remain men and women,
there will be plenty of excuses to be
used to keep the men from darkening the
wrong doorway.
* * *
Long about the end of last quarter,
some coed lost her gold Navy wings. She
placed a "lost" ad in the Plainsman, offer­ing
a reward to anyone who would return
the wings to the Plainsman office.
Another coed found the wings. She pre­sented
them to us—but what could we do?
The original owner didn't leave her name;
she hasn't called us about them. -
The wings are still in the business man­ager's
desk. If the coed still wants them,
we'd be only too glad to oblige.
WHAT DO YOU THINK

Eva Richards, sophomore, home economics: They are o.k.
and lots of fun.
Margaret Snead, junior science and lit: The best anywhere.
Margaret Williamson, senior, business administration: I

It's just a scrap of paper to you, seemingly worthless, per­haps.
Maybe your home-town newspaper, maybe an old
notebook, maybe the wrapping from a package you've re­ceived
from home. But to our government, it's precious war
material—stuff which can be processed for the use of our
fighting men.
Every scrap of paper in every dormitory, fraternity and
boarding house and home in Auburn should be a constant re­minder
of The Big Scrap that is going on in the Pacific, where
our brave men are enduring, suffering all the hell of war with
its fighting and its dying. Many of these men are our loved
ones and friends.
While we are privileged to pursue our studies in higher
education, taking it easy, finding life fairly normal and com­fortable—
these fighting men are bearing the heavy burden of
war. At best it will be hard enough for some of us to "look
these men in the face" when they return victoriously from
the battlefields, knowing that we have done but little to help
win the victory.
How, then, can we, as patriotic Americans, refuse to do
what little we can do!
"I cannot do everything, but I can do something; and what
I can do, I must do, and, by the grace of God, I will do." Even
to saving waste paper, even to collecting it, and assisting in
any way possible, in all the salvage drives.
Another scrap paper drive is scheduled for Saturday in
Auburn. Every little piece of scrap you contribute will help
just that much toward finishing up in the Pacific, toward

It looks like we students missed out on a good chance for
a riot.
And the administration missed a lot of publicity.
Maybe headlines concerning an uprising of Auburn stu­dents
because of the question of participation in intramural
sports wouldn't exactly be favorable publicity, but they would
certainly get a lot of space.
It's too late now, though; we've missed our big chance. The
question is settled—minus the headlines. In place-of the riot,
another step toward better student-administration relations
has been taken.' It did involve discussions on the part of both
students and faculty advisors. Sessions did last several hours;
some seemed to accomplish little.
But the fact remains that the difference was settled after
a comparatively short time. Both sides are not only agreeable;
both sides seem to be fairly enthusiastic.
It was a compromise to say that after the college physician
had declared a boy unfit to participate in intermurals, the mat­ter
would be taken to his parents. By the new rule, if they
agree to sign a waiver giving their son permission to play in
spite of the physician's decision, the student will continue to
be on intramural teams and the college will not be responsible.
The students themselves feel that if their parents object,
they don't have a gripe coming. They feel that the administra­tion
isn't trying to rule them with an iron hand; its just look­ing
out for their welfare. They have learned that the ad­ministration
will listen to their problems.
Often students do have good ideas; they do feel keenly
about injustice and want to remedy it, the administration
found.
One official, after the question was settled, told a student
that he had an entirely different—and better—opinion of him
since working the problem out.
It goes to show that there are more difficulties are solved
from sitting down, talking, and finally shaking hands than
by any number of riots.
Whatcha Gonna Do About It?
Four members of the Executive Cabinet are not in school
this summer. They all have reasons—good reasons.
But they still are not in school this summer.
The new constitution, written to fit Auburn's wartime pro­gram
and adopted only last October requires attendance for
all representatives at the Cabinet meetings.
It requires a quorum of the Cabinet before any meeting
shall begin. A quorum is two-thirds of the total membership;
the total membership is 17. If three students who are in school
happen to be absent from a meeting, the meeting should not—
constitutionally—begin.
There is no provision granting leaves of absence to Cabinet
members not in school during the summer. There is a pro­vision
saying that a member of the Cabinet may be suspended
or permanently removed for flagrant or continued neglect of
his duties.
Before the Qualifications Board approves a candidate to
run for office, that candidate must submit proof that he will
be in school for the next three quarters. This, although it is
not written in the constitution, has been a definite qualifica- .
tion for the past nine months.
The candidates may not have known that they were not
coming this summer. They may have thought that the Cabinet
was a fall to spring organization which did not operate in the
summer. But it does.
And already the quorum rule has been violated.
At one Cabinet meeting this summer, only nine members
were present. The others were not in school, out of town, work­ing,
or sick. But the meeting was held. Motions of importance
were passed.
This is the second time since the first of the spring quarter
that the constitution has been violated. The other time, when
the 2. overall average was lowered, involved the breaking of
two regulations specifically named in the constitution.
But the Cabinet has to function. It goes right on—in spite
of unconstitutional acts.
Since there is no provision about members not in school,
and since that question has not come up before, the Cabinet
granted the four members leaves of absence. It did this under
the "legislative and executive powers" granted it in the con­stitution,
article r v.
There is no authority to challenge the Cabinet, to tell it is
violating the laws each member has sworn to uphold. No
authority—except, of course, the student body.
But we do think that some steps should be taken so that
the constitution will be a workable, usable thing.
If an amendment is needed, let's amend it. It takes a peti­tion
presented in writing to the President of the Cabinet carry­ing
the signatures of eight per cent of the registered under­graduate
students. Members of the Cabinet may make a direct
motion for an amendment. A vote is taken after the story has
run in three issues of The Plainsman. If two-thirds of the
Cabinet approve, the amendment will be accepted.
The student body can force the Cabinet to uphold the con­stitution.
It rests with each student to decide what to do.
Down Our Alley
By Jane Southerland
What do you think" of the San
Francisco C o n f e r e n c e Peace
Charter? Several attitudes have
been found among various walks
of life as to its chances of suc­cess
or possibilities of failure.
For the first time in world his­tory
a group of diplomats and
government officials, Americans
and Frenchmen, Russians and
Arabs, Chinese and Australians,
have gotten together with t he
purpose of making world peace
not just a dream, but a reality—
not just for nations, but for the
people in those nations.
One thing is certain with all:
nations and peoples so tragically
aware of what can happen with­out
an International Court of
Justice to see that no nation in­fringes
upon the rights of others,
the United States must lead the
nations of the world by ratifying
the Charter and backing it up.
• • •
By the rules of the Charter
each nation who joins the United
Nations will have an equal voice
in all proceedings of the General
Assembly. This can mean nothing
unless the Charter and all it
stands for is supported by all the
nations involved and all the peo­ple
who make up those nations.
Here are some of the many
ideas about the Conference and
the Charter.
A vet student thinks this about
it: It's ok. It'll work, but it may
need adjusting now and then.
Says one of the Home ec girls:
I don't know. But something will
have to work. v
• • •
A monthly publication from
New York says: The important
thing was to find out whether
the common _ denominator could
be found. We believe that the San
Francisco Conference proved it
can be found.
As to whether or not the Con­ference
will succeed in bringing
world peace, it adds: The answer
to this question lies with the
people everywhere.
A school principal puts it this
way: If the San Francisco Char­ter
doesn't succeed, they'll devise
something that will. With Stet-tinius
in the lead it can't fail.
A member of the US Senate
says: The San Francisco Con­ference
will go down in history
as a most important milestone on
the road to peace.
• • •
All reports coming from the
Conference stress the universal
brotherhood of man. Day by day,
the world movies closer to this
Christian ideal.
Some may think this just a case
of over-optimism, but perhaps it
isn't. Not when it is backed by
the faith, hope, and prayers of
people everywhere.
With such high ideals and the
faith of great men, we feel the
Charter cannot fail

Rat Reuben Writes Home
Dear Ma and All:
What you reckon. Ma? Dr. Dun­can
stopped me on the campus
the other day and spoke to me.
He didn't know me at first, but
when I told him my name, he
said, "Oh yes, sure, I remember
you now." Then he asked me
about you and Pa, the crops, and
everything in Corn Creek. Mr;
and him had a big long talk. He
sure as a friendly man, Ma, sorta
reminds me of Squire Hopkins.
* * *
While I was talking to Dr. Dun­can,
Ma, I asked him about the
eggs and butter. He said he'd
take two dozen eggs a week, but
was fraid the butter would melt
before it got here. He asked m;;
if we could spare him any h^g
meat, but I told him we had done
et up all we had.
* * *
Ma, we have to take a course
down here called drill. All we do
is go out on'a big field twice a
week and walk up and down it.
They been trying to learn us fel­lows
which is our left face and
which is our right face and which
is our bout face.
It don't seem right for the army
to send all these generals down
here just to teach us that, but I
guess they had to have some
place to send them. We're goner
be given guns this week.
I told them I'd get Pa to send
me my shotgun, but they said
that wouldn't do. I guess the in­structors
are gonner try to learn
us how to shoot them, but shucks,
Ma, I already know how to shoot
a gun.
* * *
I would send you a copy of the
college paper they print down
here, Ma, but there's a colyum
in it called Jaywalking, what's
wrote by a Mistter Thornton
Laney, that I don't think you'd
approve of Sis seeing. I've heard
a man down here named Mister
Curtly Brown, what they call
the College Senser, made him
cut out the bad stuff, but it still
ain't fit for Sis to read. They say
these girls down here though
don't read Jaywalking anymore
since Mister Thornton Laney had
to purify it,
* * *
Ma, I finally learned why they
call all those buildings I told you
about the Zoo. It's cause wild
women stay in them. The women
down here are the wildest women
I'm ever seen, Ma.
And the way they dress is
enough to drive anybody else
wild. They wear the funniest
clothes, and some of them don't
wear many clothes at all hardly.
* * *
No'm, the way they teach in
college ain't much different from
the. way they teach in high
school. The teachers keep their
books in front, of them and talk
a lot, and then on examinations
they ask us' questions what we
ain't studied much.
* * *
Don't worry about my wash­ing,
Ma. They got what they call
a laundry down here and let us
put in • so many clothes every
week. But I 'spect I'm going to
have to have some more under
shirts and socks before lojig.
You see, Ma, instead of charging
us for our washing they just keep
back some of our clothes every
week. The wash-woman sure is
hard on buttons, Ma. I'm glad
you put the sewing things in my
trunk.
* * *
They inspected us again last
week, Ma. My orientation was
just beginning to heal good. Now
I'm having to sit on a pillow
again.
Your loving son,
Reuben ^f

Spotlights on Auburnites

SANS SARONG, SANS SINGING
DOTTIE LAMOUR GOES DRAMATIC
Medal For Benny Tells Quaint Love Story
Of California's Mexican Peasant People
Dorothy Lamour is the little girl with the great blue-gray
eyes who made the word sarong.as Uncle Samraish as_harn
and eggs and pie a la mode. If the girls had their way and her
figure, no doubt they would attempt a similar routine, but
such a form as Dottie's is comparatively rare. All this and a
deep throaty voice that leaves the male contingent breathless,
accounts for her unprecedented
success in films.
But Miss Lamour is not con­tent
with the lighter side of
screen life. She is more enthusi­astic
about her role in Para-mount's
"A Medal for Benny"
due Sunday at the Tiger Theatre
and co-starring dashing Arturo
de Cordova, than anything else
she has ever done before. For
one thing, it is her first dramatic
venture in celluloid, sans sarong
ant. Being a story of California's
there is that handsome heart­throb
de Cordova making love to
h e r . . . all of which is very pleas-and.
Being a story of California's
Mexican "paisanos," D o r o t hy
takes to wearing the quaint and
charming costumes of the Mexi­can
peasant and they do full jus­tice
to her dark alluring beauty.
Gal Can Act
Those who have dubbed her
exclusively as a glamour gal, will
have to concede that the lady can
act given a chance. As the pas­sionate
Lolita Sierra torn be­tween
her loyalty to one man and
her love for another, she has just
such a chance and takes com­plete
advantage of it.
Unlike many screen actresses,
Dorothy did not land in pictures
by any freak accident. While
canarying with Herbie Kay's
dance band, she decided that a
motion picture career was what
she wanted most. That did it.
Dorothy had made up her mind.
It took her just eighteen months
to achieve stardom from the time
she first laid siege to Hollywood.
First Chance
Dottie got her first chance to
sing at a public function when a
publicity woman attached to the
staff of the Morrison Hotel spot­ted
her in Marshall Field's De­partment
store where she worked
as an elevator operator. That
night Kay invited her to join his
outfit. Dottie's first outstanding
screen success was a starring role
in Samuel Goldwyn's "The Hurri­cane."
Born in New Orleans, Miss La­mour,
personaly, has sold more
war bonds than any other single
individual. She has canvassed the
country in two separate tours un­dertaken
for the Motion Picture
Committee for Hollywood a nd
the War Savings Staff of t he
Treasury Department.

As Buel disposes of the broken paddle, the modern "Simon
Legree', with an air of subtlety, calmly requests another
unfortunate Lambda. Chi neophyte to assume the given angle.
The telephone is of little use to Johnson, as his vocal cords
have the ability to yell messages all around the campus and
over to the Quadrangle.
Buel loves "boogie-woogie" bands and figures in Zombie's
outfit. He says that he would rather dance than play, how­ever.
"You Can't Get That no More", Louis Jordan's version,
is Buel's current favorite tune.
* * *
Buel wasn't a big "daug" in high school, because he was
too busy flinging spit-balls at the little girls, and touring the
state with his high school music-makers.
To benefit the new-comers of Auburn, who are not familiar
with the character to whom we are referring, Buel has several
aliases—namely—Buella, Mule, and Mulie.
Johnson entered Auburn as a co-op student back in '41
in the department of aeronautical administration, and ex­pects
a degree in August of '46.
In 1944, Buel was sophomore representative of his class
and president of his fraternity the same year.
Making sarcastic remarks, kidding the coeds, and shooting
the bull are not his only diversions, because he emphatically
said that playing intramural sports are also his idea of re­creation.
Issac Hooten Gives
Advice To Student
Fishing Is Better By Day But More Fun
By Night Says The Piscatorial Expert
By Joe Hooten
With the opening of the Auburn Fish ponds out on the
Birmingham highway, one's thoughts turn back to that old
proverb of the mightiest fisherman, Sir Issac Walton, who
said, "A sucker on the string is worth two on the phone".
So for you whose strings are empty, here is how to make
a .catch. ';'•;•
Compleat
Anglers
A permit to fish in these ponds
may be obtained at Toomer's
Hardware Store for the small
sum of fifty cents. This permit
entitles one to one afternoon of
swatting flies, rubbing -on sun­burn
ointment, and falling jn the
pond while trying to land one of
those three inch whoppers.
Whiie wetting your hook is en­couraged,
wetting your whistle
is outlawed. Now you fish lovers
who aren't satisfied on Friday
can get your fill in one afternoon
or so say the folks in Toomer's.
(Note to the girls: this permit
does not include the right to land
some poor sucker. Sorry.)
But Likker Is Quicker
This season a new and most
startling discovery has been made
by the more ardent pursuers of
the piscatorial past-time. Some
of the uninitiated freshmen have
found that a lot more fish can
be caught in the ponds in the
daytime than at night!
It is also now known that the
best way to catch the little devils
is to use a hook and line and not
get them intoxicated and grab
them when they come up for the
chaser. Until now the latter
looks of things. What else would
the big boys have carried those
bottles out there for?
As these fish under discussion
are kuite educated, being college
products, there have been some
new types of special tackle in­vented
to catch them with. For
instance, there is ;a new t y pe
lipstick for the feminine pis-cators.
This is guaranteed to make any
sucker latch onto your string for
the duration.
Dumb, Ain't They?
Then there is the under-water
megaphone for use in trapping a
whole school of fish at one time.
You just stick it down near the
class room where you'll find them
from 8 until ,6 and holler, "Let's
take a beat."
Being rather frlsKy, most all
of the fish will take the sugges­tion
and swim out into the open
where you should have no trou­ble
in netting them. You can
purchase these and many other
special tools to use by calling at
The Plainsman office before the
lazy editor takes them out to the
ponds herself.

moment, get up a oucket of
worms and a bent pin and go
out to try your luck. It is a lot
of fun.
The fish are most cooperative
as they have been given instruc­tions
by Mr. R. W. Swingle, chief
sitter at the college Fish, and
you should have no trouble at all
in getting at least one or two of
the scaley creatures.
So£ | you , embryonic Issac Wal-tbns,
grab your pole and meet
the crowd out at the, pardon,
fish ponds.
May your catch be so large
that when telling about it after­wards
you won't have to lie about
it.

Prosperity For South Can Be Reached
By Using Resources, Says McGlothlin
Workshop Speaker Adds
Basic Education Must
Not Be Overlooked
Mr. W. J. McGlothlin, chief of
the training division of the Ten-,
nessee Valley Authority, in his
first address to the Resource Edu­cation
Workshop now in progress
said, "The resources of the South
are adequate to support a high
level of living and bring pros­perity
to all our. people."
" T h i s can be accomp­lished
only as- we learn more ef­ficient
ways of using our resourc­es,
and in this task the public
schools may play a large and im­portant
part" he added.
Public School
There are many agencies now
working to improve the economy
of the South. "The part of the
public schools in providing a
basic education, geared to the
culture of the South, must not
be overlooked," he told the
teachers.
Speaking on the subject, "Re­sources
and Opportunities in the
South," Mr. McGlothlin cited re­cent
advances that have been
made in improved use of South­ern
resources and the extensive
research that is now being
planned and carried on which
need to be interpreted and- used
by people as soon as possible.
Part of this new knowledge is
now available for use in the edu­cation
of the rising generation.
It is the task of teachers and
educators to bring it into common
education.
Wealth Washing Off
He further called attention to
the fact that our basic resource,
the richness of the soil, is being
washed from the lands at the
rate of 20 million tons each year.
Only one-fourth of this loss is
replaced by fertilizers at a cost
of 161 million dollars per year.
Better means of preserving this
basic resource as well as the pres­ervation
and use of minerals,
forests, and other basic resources
is a concern of all our people.
The study of resources is the
study of the sources of life. Edu­cation
in its most important
sense is a study of the preserva­tion
of life.
Value Resources
The Health and Resource Edu­cation
Workshops being held at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
June 6 to July 13, in which some
fifty graduate students are en­rolled,
have as an objective the
education of the rising genera­tion
of boys and girls in school in
such a way that they will know
and value the'resources of the
state, region, and nation; learn
how to conserve and use these
resources; and be trained as bet­ter
producers of wealth and bet­ter
members of communities.
Mr. McGlothin is one of sev­eral
outstanding national authori­ties
on resource education who
have come as consultants and
speakers to the Health and Re­source
Education Workshops.

in nursery school education from

Workshop Studies
Health Problems
An extensive study for im­proving
health education in the
school and community is under­way
on the campus during the
first six weeks of summer school.
Several schools in the 'state have
sent teachers to participate in
the study.
They have had the help of the
Alabama Polytechnic f a c u l ty
members, State Department of
Education personnel, members of
the Btate Department of Health,
and representatives of community
resources in setting forth the
problems in a direct manner and
in preparing guides to be used in
the solution of the problems.
Wide Scope
The health education materials
produced cover in scope the fol­lowing:
point of view; instruc­tional
program and sequence of
experiences; environmental con­trol
and i n f l u e n c e ; organiza­tion;
community resources and
their services; and major health
problems of school and commun­ity.
The original program was de­veloped
in three weeks of in­tensive
work at Alabama Poly­technic
Institute; then the Work­shop
participants joined other
local and state agencies at Ala­bama
College, Montevallo, for
one week, June 25 through 29.
This gave opportunity to further
the planning on problems pe­culiar
to the different schools
and counties represented. The
time between now and July 13
will be spent at Alabama Poly­technic
Institute in completion of
plans for the work in local
schools next year.
Brothers From Auburn
Meet In Germany
Stationed a b o u t 150 miles
apart, Lt. John Bruce Martin, '43,
and Capt. Herbert Martin, '42,
brothers from Auburn, met in
Germany and spent June 3 and
4 together.
Before the meeting neither
knew the exact location of the
other. Lt. Martin commandeered
a jeep and a three-day pass and
set out to look for his brother.
When Lt. Martin walked in, his
brother was writing their parents
that he was going to look for him.
Capt. "Birdlegs" Martin was as­sociate
editor of The Plainsman
during his senior year, senior
representative to - the Cabinet,
member of ATO, and author of
"Plains Talk." He received his de­gree
in business administration.
Lt. Martin was also a Plains­man
columnist. He was a chemi­cal
engineering student, member
of Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi,
ATO, Phi Tau Chi, Lambda
Upsilon, and AIChE.
SARGE REELECTED

Stork Brings
Young Coed To
Practice House
By Rounds and Carder
When the stork made his last
visit to the practice house, he
certainly got his packages mixed.
He has been in the habit of de­livering
little boys, but recently
he surprised everyone by bring­ing
a darling little girl, the first
in over two years.
The stork's error has caused
much confusion, since the prac­tice
house has only clothes for
little boys. Until something can
be done about this drastic situa­tion,
Barbara Ann will have to
continue to wear overalls.
She has brown hair which has
a tendency to curl and a tendency
to be a'little on the red side; she
is six months old, weighs 13%
pounds, crawls, sits, and makes
friends very easily.
When asked about her hobbies,
Barbara Ann replied that she has
only one—eating—and she does
that all the time. She's crazy
about API, but just doesn't like
this Auburn weather.
Lt. Albert Thomas, Auburn, is
spending his 60 day furlough with
his parents, Prof, and Mrs. A. L.
Thomas. He is a former student
in mechanical engineering and
was a member of Sigma Chi.
» * *
Lt. Neil Harris, Auburn, is
visiting in Auburn for several
weeks. A former pharmacy stu­dent,
Lt. Harris attended API in
1942-43. He was in the Army Air
Corps and was shot down over
Germany.
DKG Adds Shelf
To API Library As
Glanton Memorial
In a ceremony honoring Miss
Louise P. Glant|n, a former di­rector
of the School of Home
Economics, Delta Kappa Gamma
presented 63 volumes of autobio­graphies,
biographies, letters, and
memors of women to the API
library on Friday, June 29.
The collection'will be supple­mented
until it reaches 300 vol­umes.
It has been placed in the
reserve reading room.
The Louise GJanton Memorial
Collection was presented by Miss
Dana Gatchell who has served
as chairman of collection and ac­cepted
for the libraries by Di­rector
Clyde Cantrell.
"Great Teacher"
"We are here to honor a great
teacher whose many years in the
teaching field have been spent in
service for young women," Miss
Gatchell told an audience gather­ed
in the library reference room.
The collection committee chair­man
explained that any fit testi­monial
to Miss Glanton's services
should be one that also would
"serve many." Thus, Miss Gat­chell
added, "I chose a collection
of books telling the stories of the
lives of interesting women" who
have "influenced the world in
which they h£ve lived and
moved." *
Founder of DKG
The home economics professor
described Miss Glanton's service
as a founder of Delta Kappa
Gamma, women, teachers' honor
society, in Alabama and told of
the collection the Auburn chapter
of the society is gathering in her
honor.
"This collection at this time
consists of 63 volumes with 28
volumes on their1 way, making a
grand total of 91 volumes," Miss
Gatchell reported, and added that
she intends to add to the-collec­tion
until she reaches a goal of
300 or more volumes.
Headed Clothing Department
Miss Glanton, who now lives
in Auburn, was head of .the
clothing department at Kansas
State College before coming to
Auburn. She has spent much time
abroad studying in many coun­tries.
She is charter member of

Sketches Exhibited
In Arch Library
Before beginning a t o u r of
Southern art galleries, an ex­hibit
of sketches by three former
students of the School of Archi­tecture
and the Arts is now being
shown in the gallery of the
school.
Sketches for the exhibit were
done by Lt. Charles Kelley, US-NR;
S/Sgt. Harry Lowe, USA;
and Cpl. J. Dorrance Kiser, USA,
and each largely pictures service
life in some special theater of the
war.
The sketches are visual notes,
yet each gives powerful evidence
of the will to express human ex­perience.
Used NY Times
Of special interest are the
mediums with which the artists
worked, mediums which occa­sionally
were evolved from any
materials available. Lt. Kelley,
for instance, painted a port scene
on the financial page of the New
York Times, while one of Cpl.
Riser's sketches is done on the
back of an army'report and two
painted on wood veneer. Sgt.
Lowe obtained excellent results
with his camp fire studies done
in india ink and white tempera—
on wraping paper.
The artists frequently accom­panied
their drawing with writ­ten
notes which necessarily were
removed "when the sketches
were mounted for exhibit. One
of the more amusing of these ac­companied
Sgt. Lowe's "Bless All
The Soldiers", a head study of
a Negro woman at a Kansas
prayer meeting.
"Bless All the Soldiers"
The woman's prayer, as re­corded
by the artist, read "Bless
every rock, bless every tree,
bless the- mayor of this town and
bless all the soldiers."
Professor Joseph Marino-Merlo
assembled material for the ex-habit
and he praises the work as
"reassuring evidence that artists
will remain artists even in the
midst of total war."
"The exhibit," he adds, "Is
noteworthy because it is a
straight-forward account of each
man's interests and observations
in a different part of the world."
All three of the artists are na­tive
Alabamians. Lt. Kelley,
Eutaw, practiced architecture be­fore
serving with the Navy in the
Pacific. Sgt. Lowe is now serv­ing
in Germany and while at
API was the only undergraduate
to be accorded a one-man show
by the school. He is a resident of
Opelika.
Cpl. Kiser, Gardendale, has
been in Italy for two years. He
received the Bronze Star.

THE TIGER'S LAIR
By Bobby Clement
At long last an agreement has been reached about our
interfraternity softball. Here's how we stand — every in­eligible
fraternity member who wants to play softball and
still comply with the college regulations must see Dr. Dennis.
If Dr. Dennis declares you physical able then you are o.k.
but if he declares you unfit you may sign a slip, which he
will furnish, stating that even though he has declared you
unfit, you wish to play anyway.
This will take the responsibility from the college if you
get hurt it's your "little red wagon". The schedule already
drawn up will be followed.

While on his recent visit to Auburn, Bob Zuppke cele­brated
his 66th birthday.
The cake was in the Illinois colors of blue and gold and
a "Happy Birthday Zup" with many little candles was across
the top. Even though Zup had a strong breeze to blow against,
he made his wish, and gave a mighty puff.
Every candle on the cake went out and all that Zup could
say was, "I'll bet you all want to know what I wished; well
I wished that Carl's team would win the conference title
this year or next".
He was chided a bit by Mrs. Voyles, who insisted he could
have wished something for himself. But that was the way he
wanted it. He's had his share of glory and thrills and wished
something for his former assistant.
Week Late To Work—
That's The Plasterers
By Rounds and Carder
Attention, please! If anyone
knows the where-abouts of the
two missing plastermen who were
to have arrived at Social Center
last week, please call 448 and let
us in one the "secret". Darnelle
is getting plenty fed-up with
people blaming him every time
the mail is late.
You see, mail boxes are to be
installed in Social Center for all
girls living in the Quadrangle.
The materials are already here
and work could start immediate­ly
if only those plastermen would
show up.
As soon as they make their ap­pearance,
the work will be com­pleted
within a week or ten
days. The east wing of Social
Center will be converted into a
regular post office. Boxes with
combination locks will be shared
by roommates. Stamps will be
sold, and there will be a chute
for outgoing mail.
When the new quadrangle is
build on Bullock Field, Social
Center will be "headquarters" for
all women students. Then all
room registration fees and all
room and board will be paid
there.
Won't it be nice having a priv­ate
box and getting mail every
day? (That is, if those piaster-men
ever show up!)
Major Paul McDaniel, Auburn,
former physics professor now on

Zuppke's Visit Gives Voyles New Hope
Seniors Approve
Caps And Gowns
After deciding to continue to
hold four graduations a year in­stead
of one large- exercise each
spring, the senior class of 1945
voted to wear caps and gowns
at graduation in August at the
class meeting on June 29.
Margaret Wyatt, class presi­dent,
introduced Dr. L. N. Dun­can
who presented the question
to the seniors. He told the class
that the administration was in­terested
in making Auburn grad­uations
bigger, and asked coop­eration
from each member.
. The class voted almost un­animously
to continue the present
system of four graduations.
Jane Mitchell, Mary Popwell,
and Mary Furr were appointed
to work with Dr. Duncan in
planning the graduation exer­cises.
Although t h e senior class
elected co-presidents for this
year, Margaret Wyatt is serving
as president t h i s summer be­cause
Kimball Boan is not in
school.
Harold Lee Falkenberg, who is

War Eagle is sounded in October
against Auburn's major foes.
Voyles, discouraged with his
youthful talent until Zup came
to town, has perked up a little,
for he sees where he can use
some of his new men to better
advantage perhaps.
Look "Sound"
Not only have Zuppke and
Voyles been 'in conference', con­cocting
new elements of surprise,
but they have carried them out
on the practice field, and they
look sound. . ! -
Auburn now has two weeks or
less of summer practice, and that
time will be spent polishing up
the new attack.
This was Zuppke's first coach­ing
job since he handled the Col­lege
All-Stars for Arch Ward's
annual Chicago game in 1942.
Zup's last year at Illinois was
1941.
Won't Return To Coach
Zup celebrated his 66th birth­day
while here, and said he was
feeling better than in years. But
he has no intention of returning
to the coaching field. He was only
Voyles' guest here—helping out
one of his former assistants.
Voyles coached the freshmen at
Illinois for six years, and was
Zup's favorite. *
And if Zup wasn't Voyles' fav­orite
before July 1, this year, he
certainly is now. He has given
the Auburn coach new hope.
Girls' Tournaments Set
To Open Next Week
By Mary Howard
The WAA sponsored girls'
summer tournaments will begin
the week of July 16. Doubles and
singles in shuffleboard and
singles in ping-pong will start
the ball rolling.
The Dormitory presidents have
been given entrance blanks. All
girls may participate. WAA
points will be given to individ­uals,
but not to the teams.
The WAA is also holding the
swimming pool open for the girls
on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
One of the following lifeguards
will be on duty at all times:
Mike Morgan, 'Elizabeth Holla-way,
Annie I*ou O'Grady or
Anna Ruth White.
More Than Fifty Years Ago They Did This
• T H E A T R E *
Dr.-George Petrie now 79, and who was the first coach in the
deep south—at Auburn in 1891—shows BUI Harris, a modern
center, how the ball was snapped in the Gay Nineties. Second
from the left is Carl Voyles, Auburn coach, and his guest coach.
Bob Zuppke, of Illinois, looking on and apparently very much
interested, is to Harris' right.
Voyles Fetes Football
Team, Zuppke Holds
Praise For Tigers
Classes as usual on July Fourtn
—but not football classes.
Coach Carl Voyles instead
played host to a Fourth of July
party at Chewacla.. There was
swimming, after a hay ride from
town, and then a super chicken
barbecue up on the hill where
cool breezes were blowing.
Archie, of the Doll House, did
the serving, and how those boys
did eat. Dr. Duncan was present
and is now better acquainted
with the appetites of our Tiger
Cubs.
Extra Treat
In addition to the picnic the
boys now get an extra treat in
reading this sincere compliment
from Bob Zuppke, the visiting
coach from Illinois.
"These boys of Carl's are
smart" he said, "they picked up
in four days the general idea of
what I wanted to show them.
Boys who can learn that quickly
may develop into good 'players.
I was rather surprised".
Of course, that's only the start.
There are long, long days of
drills ahead before t h e Tigers
can hope to smooth out the new
attack. But Zup's words formed
an unusual compliment to a
squad of young fellows just out
of high school.
There may be better boys at
some of the rival SEC schools
(most everyone in the know
agrees on that point) but they're
not trying any harder than our
boys. .
Kirtley Brown Fishes
Mr. Kirtley Brown, director of
student affairs, is out of town
on a fishing trip. He left Thurs­day
and will be gone until the
end of this week.
