Duncan Explains About Thanksgiving
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Nov 12, 1945
TO THE STUDENT BODY,
My dear Young Friends:
We have had a number of inquiries as to the possibility
of Thanksgiving holidays this month. We believe that the
students will be interested in learning why no provision was
made for Thanksgiving Holidays on the calendar of the fall
quarter. '
1. Fall quarter opened about three weeks later than
usual in order to give faculty and students who had been on
an accelerated program since June 1, 1942, a much needed
rest. Under the accelerated program we had worked four
quarters of twelve weeks each per year. jifc^fflgfev
2. In preparing the calendar for 1945-46, we planned the
quarter so that it would end on December 14, thus making
it possible to start the winter quarter after the Christmas
holidays. This is an excellent arrangement in Jfcat classwork
is not interrupted by a long holiday period. ? ^
3. This arrangement makes it possible for Christmas holidays
to begin early enough for many students to take jobs
with department stores, express companies anS post offices,
and provides a good holiday period between-:'the" fall and
winter quarters.
4. If Thanksgiving holidays had been provided for in the
calendar, then Christmas holidays would have begun later
and would have been shorter.
5. At the time the calendar was planned and published
we were at war and no excess holidays were justifiable under
our wartime schedule. :' •>••.
We believe, therefore, that student requests for Thanksgiving
holidays are unjustifiable at this time because they
would shorten the planned Christmas holidays.
In addition, the Council of Deans has been aware of i he
revival of football on the campus . a n ^ ^ a s de^gnatedjtnore
games this quarter as "excused' games*'Hha»;t^e¥ before.
Since these days are really holidays, any further changes in
the calendar would seriously affect the program of activities
of the College and result in throwing many planned activities
out of schedule.
With all good wishes,
L. N. Duncan-
President

Bulldogs Favored To Win With Trippi
But Plainsman Are Out For Blood
By Bill O'Brien
All indications of an anything-can-happen game are
evident when the Auburn Tigers meet the Georgia Bulldogs
for the forty-ninth time in Memorial Stadium, Columbus,
Ga., Saturday at 3 p. m. (2 p. m. Auburn time.) •
Both teams are definitely out to win Saturday's battle.
Georgia has -won 22 games in this series; Auburn has 21 to
her credit. Five-games ended as
scoreless ties.
The Georgia squad can still
remember back in 1942. The Gaf-ford-
powered Tigers came along
to make the "unbeatable" Sink-kich-
powered Bulldogs look like
eleven bewildered schoolboys
who couldn't understand why
they didn't have their way. The
fast-charging Tiger line nipped
flat-footed Frankie before he
could get started. There was no
stopping Monk Gaffordj that
afternoon he was really an Ail-
American. Final score was 27-13,
the-only defeat the Georgia Rose
Bowl team suffered that season.
Georgia Wants Blood
Playing in that 1942 game were
Charlie Trippi, J. P. Miller, and
Joe Tereshinski. Last year they
were in the armed forces, but
now they are on the Georgia
team. They want their revenge
Saturday.
Last year's 49-13 rout didn't
leave a pleasant taste in the
mouth of the Auburn team last
year.
^Ktrykendall, Lang, SnelL, and; j
Hataway, the Auburn *>eys<who
took the crushing defeat, will be
doing all in their power—and
that's plenty of power—to reverse
last year's score.
Odds For Bulldogs
On paper everything points toward
Georgia. The odds everywhere
favor the more experienced
Bulldog eleven pace by Charlie
Trippi. After a slow start, Trippi
should be worked smoothly into
the Georgia machine.
Georgia has proven itself one

"We are going to Columbus for
one purpose, and that is to BEAT
JAW-JA. So, let's everybody be

End Of War Brings
End Of Bean Salad,
Reign Of Good Food
Attention men students.
Have you noticed anything different
about some of the coeds
lately? To be specific we mean
the ones who eat at the Quadrangle
Dining Hall. They have
now lost that lean and hungry
look that they've had lo, these
many years.
The food at the Dining Hall
has improved immensely lately,
partly due to the end of the war.
Gone are the days of snapjbean
salad—no more will plaintive
wails of woe rise at the sight of
scanty viands.
This will affect an inestimable
saving on the pocket book as the
girls will not have to supplement
their meals with Grille snacks.
And their men friends (?) will
have more dough to squader at
the brew mill since they won't
have to make so many visits to
various and sundry eating jernts
around town when out on dates.
This delightful and momentous
change has been brought about
through the efforts of Miss Eleanor
Poe, the new dietitian. Miss
Poe is a graduate of API and she
has held posts at Troy State
Teachers College and at the Syla-cauga
Hospital before taking her
present position.
Jack Bell Named
ASME President
Jack Bell, Panama City, Fla.,
was elected president of American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
at the last meeting.
Other officers will be Bryson
Hatfield, Montgomery, vice president;
Max Muchnick, Mobile, recording
secretary; and John Sebastian,
Naval trainee from Locust
Gap, Pa., corresponding secretary.

advisor. , |

What's In A Rumor
Rumors concerning methods to deport
about 500 women students at the end of
this quarter have been circulating fast.
Students have heard that fraternity men
want their houses back, which is a just
demand, and that the housing difficulty
will make necessary the elimination of
several hundred students, which can't be
pure speculation.
Some have heard that sophomore girls
flunking five hours work will be sent
home.
All this is rumor, of course, but perhaps
students on the verge of flunking had better
buckle down and do some honest work.
Auburn is not alone in its housing problem.
It is too bad all applicants cannot be
granted entrance. Yet the college can, in
a sense, be proud of the condition, because
it offers an opportunity to concentrate on
quality. Its reputation is established and
the crowds will continue to come. It can
do no better service to the state than
eliminating unworthy students and giving
the worthy an increasingly better education.
Let the rumors fly. Some good students
may be discovered when working under
pressure of a real scare.
It's Not A 'Pop' Quiz
Yes, students, the war ended several
months ago over there. The firing ceased;
the soldiers halted on the field, the navy
halted on the sea. The victory is ours with
Germany and Japan. The crisis came and
went.
Now we're safe,
the prewar life.
returning quickly to
The armed forces finished their job.
But the American people still have a job.
Yes, students, we know abput this Job
that we're expected to finish. AH we-haye
to do is enter into the spirit of the Victory
Loan Drive and push toward unsurpassed
goals by buying bonds. The job is more of
a test—a test which is a good one. Will
the students of Auburn help pass this
test?"
Why? Why buy bonds, now that the war
is over?
Well, here are some reasons: to secure
the peace, to check inflation, and to provide
for personal security. Bills still are
coming due for war production in the last
months of the war. The cost of hospitalization
and rehabilitation for our wounded
runs into millions. It costs millions to bring
the boys home, muster them out, and administer
the GI Bill of Rights.
There are approximately 500 ex-servicemen
at Auburn this quarter, most of them
beinghere .partly under government expense.
Hundreds more will come. They
will also receive benefits from Uncle Sam.
It takes plenty of money to pay such
debts, but it is only a small "thank you"
to those GIs who sacrificed so much. The
^ixonds that we buy during the Victory
Loan Drive will help pay these debts.
And, too, let's not forget the benefits we
receive from bonds. The interest remains
the same as On loan bonds, a fact which
-makes the bond -One of the top invest-
. ^ e n t s . . Students should be especially in-
! \erested inSthis f acfck bond bought today
might come in handy after graduation.
The period between commencement and
your first job is often a difficult time. In
j the past, many graduates have been forced
1 to borrow from parents or friends to tide
•fthem over temporary unemployment.
1 :l Now, with a bond reserve, they are cushioned
during their job-hunting days, and
•may wait Until they find a good position.
Bonds bought in college make it easier
to marry, establish a home, or specialize
in one field.
\ Auburn's quota in the Victory Loan
Drive is $76,000. It's up to the students to
^help meet this.quota;
g Our share of the test is before us. Let's
.pass it!
It's An Auburn Tradition, Fellows
Members of the Auburn Thumbers
League have a reputation for good hitchhiking
manners. They are courteous, congenial,
and safe for lone travellers to offer
a lift.
A few new comers have been violating
traditions of the League, probably through
ignorance of the custom. They have been
throat-cutting, a serious offense on -this
campus. It just isn't done.
The corner at the Main Gate has long
'been recognized as the waiting-place for
hitch-hikers going to Montgomery. Rides
are accepted by students in order of their
arrival at this corner. Throat-cutters are
those who wait on the other side of the
street, soliciting rides when cars are stopped
by the red light.
So, you violators, even if you have
caught rides before your turn in the past,
you didn't get very far with the other fellows
whom you by-passed. It'll be better
for you to uphold the tradition than to
try breaking it down.
Keeping Up With The World
What do Russia, China, Java have to do
with Auburn students?
Not much, we'll admit. Some of us take
a one-hour course called Current Event^
and keep up with the news that way.
Some of us listen to the news over the
radio while we're combing our hair, applying
our lipstick, waiting for a date.
Some of us read the newspapers — not
just the funnies and the sports and the
society, but the news about what's going
on in the world.
And lots of us just don't even bother.
Even if .we do keep up with the news,
though, most of us haven't any way to find
out what other students are thinking.
That, in itself, is vital. For if we can find
out what we think about preserving world
peace, we can know what stand we as a
group will take. That stand in ten years
may determine whether or not the world
will go to war again, because we college
students will help to shape the opinions
of others.
•j "Bull sessions" seem to be the answer
for an interchange of ideas.
At no place on the campus are questions
of international importance discussed any
more vehemently than at International Relations
Club. Speakers are sometimes
asked, but there is always an exchange of
ideas between students.
The Club was reorganized because several
students felt the need for an active
organization of this sort.
New members who are interested and
who will contribute something to the discussions
are welcome.
Rat Reuben Writes Home
Dear Ma and All,
It don't look like I'm going to get home this Thanksgiving.
The college says they want us to go to classes that day. They
said that we could get off if everybody wanted to, but that
we'd have to take that much time off our Christmas holidays.
I'd ruther have a long Christmas holiday, Ma, so Pa and
me can get in a lots more hunting. It is goner be hard for me
to keep my mind on my lessons, cause I can't help but think
of that big dinner you got planned.
I can jus-t see those possums and taters and chitlins and hot
biscuits yall will be eating. If you don't mind, ma, how about
packing up some of that food and send it to me. I'm sure the
woman here at the boarding house will be glad to warm it up
for me.
* * *
• Ma, if yall get a letter any time soon from the college don't
get exited over it. I think they write all the mas and pas of all
us students when they are efficient in some subjects. I don't
know anything,, about it* Ma, but that's what One of the fellows
told me.
I suppose you'll be sure and get one cause I'm trying to be
efficient in everything that I'm doing up here.
* * *
I seen in the Plainsman where a bunch of college girls up
here are going to nit sleeveless sweaters, Ma. I don't read
enough of the story to see who they're nitting the things for.
I guess that they're nitting them for fellows in hospitals
what lost their arms in the war.
Or they might be nitting them for these boys up herg at
Auburn what always need their arms free, especially at night
time.
* * *
My hygiene professor told us the other day that bathing
alone won't k e e P v o u healthy. I don't care what he says, Ma,
I'm going to keep on bathing by myself.
J * * *
- Ma, I've found out they've got another club down here
what they call the Squires. But you caint join it until you
are a sophomore.
I think the club is made up of boys whose Pa's own big
farms and live in the country. Course I know our farm ain't
so very big, but nearly everybody calls Pa Squire Hawkins,
so maybe I'll get what they call a bid next year.
* * *
Last week, Ma, I saw a football game played by the Auburn
B team and the Georgia Teck B team. I never had heard before
of our B team what we got down here.
I didn't know Auburn had but one team. You know Georgia
Teck is that school over in Atlanta what graduates engineers
so sorry they call themselves rambling recks. Why, Ma, they
even admit that they aint no good when they sing a song what
says "I'm a helluva engineer." But getting back to the B team,
Ma, I don't know who the team is made up of up here at
Auburn unless it's those fellows what makes all B's on their
report cards.
* * *
Ma, tell Pa since I aint spent no money hardly since I been
at Auburn, I think I'll go to Columbus next Saturday to see
Auburn play a society college what they call the University
of Georgia and what's still trying to live on the reputation of
a man named Sinkwitch what used to work for them.
Seems like there aint goner be nobody left on the campus.
I won't miss no classes and I'll get to go through Phenix
City that we've always heard so much about. There are some
boys at Auburn what's from Phenix City, but they don't look

You know Columbus is the home of Mr. Thornton and Mr.

Don't worry about me stopping at any of them places in

and jook joints to get anything to drink.
My head hurt so bad that next morning after I drinked
the punch what I wrote you about that I'm going to stick to

HE SAYS
By BABs
of TEACHERS: the world has ever shown but small favor to
its Teachers: hunger and nakedness, perils and revilings, the
prison, the cross, the poison-chalice have, in most times and
countries, been the market-price it has offered for Wisdom,
the welcome with which it has greeted those who have come
to enlighten and purify it.
of GENIUS: is not every genius an impossibility till he appears?
-. — ,.
of CHARACTER: a man of strong understanding" is a man
of strong character.
of CREATION: no selfish fury of heart, existing there as a
primary feeling, and without its opposite (Love), ever produced
much poetry.
of HATE: a good hater does not hate violently, but wisely;
that is, he hates baseness for love of nobleness.
• of TALENT: clearness of sight is the foundation of all talent.
of SYMPATHY: let a man but speak forth with genuine earnestness
the -thought, the emotion, the actual condition of his
own heart; and "other men, so strangly are we knit together
by the tie of sympathy, must and will give heed to him.
of EXHUBERANCE: he who has much to unfold, will sometimes
unfold it imperfectly.
of PATRIOTISM: we hope there is a patriotism founded on
something better than prejudice; that our country may be
dear to us, without injury to our philosophy; that in loving and
justly prizirfg all other lands, we may prize justly, and yet love
before all'other, our own Motherland.
of CONFLICT: foolish are the thin delusions that divide heart
from heari= and make man unmerciful to his brother.
of REWARD: in the modern arrangements of society, it is
no uncommon thing that a man of genius must ask for. bread
and receive a stone.
of MAN AT HIS BEST: he is thoughtful, intense, earnest, valuing
knowledge, possessing some, open-minded for more, keen
of insight, devout of heart, reverent towards God, friendly
and fearless toward all that God has made.
of PATRONAGE: two men in any rank of society will not be
found virtuous enough to give money, and to take it as a
necessary gift, without injury to the moral entireness of one
or both.

Houghton-Mifflin
LOOKING INWARD
Today in political circles, local
as well as worldwide, there is
much talk of the sort of world
federation which will toe necessary
to have that lasting peace so
often spoken of during the war.
One of the most important controversies
is over the two types
of world government which have
been propose^
Shall People or Nations Have
Power?
First, as it was and still is
with many of the states of America,
some think that the states or
governments of each nation
should toe sovreign, tout working
through a world federation.
Their there are others who,
taking a more universal point
of view, suggest a union of the
nations involved, with, the people
as the sovreign power.
Perhaps we can say, that such
a thing is so far in the future
that we need not worry about it
now. True, these things may not
come about for many years, but
each individual must begin now
to think of his part in the world
union. It's going to be a big thing
and the United States will undoubtedly
play an important role,
side by side with Russia and
Great Britain.
Keynote: Cooperation
Cooperation is the keynote to
healing the wounds of this war-torn
world and restoring a
semblance of. normalcy. As we
work toward world cooperation
we can be practicing at home. The
people of Russia are going to
have to learn to get along with
our democratic government, and
Americans must not only tolerate
but understand the Soviet's communism.
A lot of the things supported by
Labor in Great Britain may not
fit in with what we like, tout the
English don't agree with a lot of
our policies, either.
The Starting Point
So, we must begin to practice
at home those ideals we hope for
in the world. What, you ask, can
I do about it? Let's get down to
earth, to.the level of the Auburn
campus.
Here we are, students in college—
a privilege not enjoyed by
very many young people in other
countries—going to classes every
day with only thoughts for our
own little world and what happens
to us and a few of our
friends. This narrow viewpoint
won't do us or anybody else
much good.
So let's just spread out a bit.
Begin with your roommate first.
How are you treating him or her
these days? Do you get along alright
or are you constantly squabbling?
Do you feel that you're always
toeing imposed on?
Is your roommate someone you
tell all your troubles to? Try
listening to his for a change.
Maybe he's unhappy too. Could
be!
How's Your Neighbor?
Then, going out a little farther,
look around for your neighbors,
all those students and teachers
you pass on the campus every
day. We've got to think of them
also, for if we can't live in peace
with our neighbors here close toy*
we certainly don't need to try
thinking about anything so remote
as our wordly neighbors.
The Good Samaritan was the
first, and the best, example for
finding the truest conception of
our neighbor. If this man could
do so much for the beaten and
wounded stranger, we can and
must do so much more here
among our friends.
Charityi sometimes called love,
begins at home. This college campus
is our home now, so let's try
to' be charitable, friendly, and
neighborly with all those we meet
in daily life and conversation.-
Peace At Home
By beginning to live peaceable
at home we'll be making a grand
step in the direction of living
peaceable as nations, and finally
as a world brotherhood.
It's looking far into the future,
but without all the dreaming and
planning, the basis for the founding
of our own America, we'd
never get anywhere.

Makes Plans For Weekly
Poll Of Campus Opinion
Edwin Lennep, Jr., junior in

Moss Point, Miss., was initiated
into Alpha Phi Omega, a national
service fraternity, Wednesday.
Plans for conducting a weekly
"Poll of Opinion" by Alpha Phi
Omega on current topics were
discussed. The opinions of a representative
group of faculty and
students on one question will be
printed in the Plainsman each
week.
This representative group will
be chosen by a "draw from the
hat" or similar method and will
be so arranged that; one person
will not vote his opinion more
often than another. In cases
when the opinion of several campus
groups (such as veterans, independents,
freshmen, seniors)
may have reasons for differing,
the opinions of eaefi1 group^will
also be listed. The polls will be
arranged so that no one1 will
know how another person votes.
Another project that was discussed
was the erecting* qf a campus
Christmas tree.

Local aulhorities are warning
of a pending shortage of insecticides.
This grave shortage, is being
brought about because of a
continual drain on the present
supply by the 'occupants of the
cottages in Graves Center at a
much greater rate than it can be
replenished. The cause of this
condition is the extreme slowness
of transportation systems between
here and civilization.
Extermination experts have
suggested the importation of ant-eaters
as a remedy, butt that still
leaves the cockroaches to be dealt
with. On this, the thought seems
to be, wait for winter and let
nature take its course.
Another and more popular solution
is the removal of all occupants
to the quadrangle and
certain of the fraternity houses.

It seems at one time there was
active and thriving USO located
| in the metropolis of Auburn.
However, business lagged and
said institution was done away
with.
Yet the members have, kept
organized just in case—and sure
enough, it has happened. Servicemen
are once more in the reach
of their kindnesses.
It all adds up to a dance to be
given by the USO in honor of the
NROTC unit at a designated place
on a to-be- set date.
The sailors will be given the
privilege of coming stage or drag,
and if unable to find a date, the
USO will lend a helping hand by
providing junior hostesses.

The excitement of Halloween
and Homecoming day combined
to make the past week a most extraordinary
one full of queer happenings.
What with "Ye Plainz-
•munn" fostering the Auburn
spirit in five colors (at least
something does) and the campus
overrun by "Gozes" and alumni,
such a minor thing as the swabbing
and waxing of the Student
Center deck may have escaped
notice.
Not only that, but the deck in
Samford Hall was also given its
annual swabbing.
Ordinarily, the stairs would
have beijta swabbejd too,. but;tiiat
was done away wijth this year for
fear they might have worn
through during the process.

Just in case no one has noticed
the most unusual happening of
all, that isn't borrowed cash those
sailors are spending any more.

Ten NROTC members under
the guidance and direction of Lt.
R. W. Terry have formed a
dance band for the unit. The band
is composed of eleven pieces—
five sax, three brass and three
rhythm instruments. Rehearsals
are going nicely and it should not
be long before they are ready for
their first public appearance.
There are rumors afloat of a
Navy Ball in the offing. This has
not been confirmed as yet, but it
is expected soon, Possibly this
may be the occasion when the
band makes its debut.
• • •
Our unit is divided into three
companies, each composed of two
platoons. A system of inter-platoon
competition has" been established
whereby one platoon
per week is given Thursday night
liberty on a basis of points earned.
These points are awarded for
promptness in •mustering, appearance
in review, and generalSas-pect
of platoons during personnel
inspections.
An official ann6uncement made
this week said that any trainee
completing the quarter with no
grade below B-=-will be granted
every night liberty for the next
quarter as long as he continues to
do satisfactory academic work.

A note from our good friend
Samuel T. Slaton ... ."Slick" to
those in 1897 . . . He's in Birmingham.
And here's what our good
friend Ed "Buk" Bukofzer '00 has
to say about his Homecoming: "1
arrived home Monday after having
enjoyed my wonderful visit
with all of my good friends in the
South, and especially those in
lovely Auburn.. When I saw the,
transformation that had taken
place in your beautiful little city,
it was hard to believe my own
eyes. Auburn is certainly a wonderful
institution, since it has
been under the guidance of our
good friend, Dr. Duncan and I am
sure the progress that will be
made in the future will far surpass
that which was made in the
past.
"For that reason it is up to
everyone who calls h i m s e lf
Alumni member of Autmrn to do
whatever they can to preach the
gospel and sound the cause of
Auburn:
"You can rest assured whatever
I can do for Auburn, I will consider
it a privilege. I trust that
the time will not be far distant
when I will have the pleasure of
visiting Auburn again." Ever
loyal, firm and true Ed. . . .as
only a good Auburn man could
say it;,
CORRESPONDENCE:
Archie McGillivary '40 says,
"The poetry was too much. Here's
my five!" Too much for me too.
I started to leave town. One
school raised $300,000 with a
poem. Mine wasn't quite that successful,
Archie.
We made a mistake a while
back and dropped a little poem
to our members who had allowed
their dues to become delinquent.
It was around,Homecoming and
those of us at headquarters were
a little on the slap-happy side.
Anyhow, it has touched off the
poetical spark. Among those returning
a verse with their five
dollars was Edmund C. Bunker.

"We of Auburn are imbued with the Auburn Spirit the
day we cross her threshhold; that spirit is everlasting," Brig.
Gen. Frank A. Hart, '15, told the Alumni Association at the
annual meeting Nov. 3.
The general was a Marine Corps regimental commander

battle for Iwo Jima.
While in school at Auburn, he
was a four-year letterman in
football, soccer, and track. He is
a native of Seale and his wife
now lives in Eufaula.
"I have always praised Auburn,
to all who would listen," he
continued. "For it was on the Auburn
football field I learned to
hit hard, play fair, and never
say die. Coach Mike Donahue's
teaching and personal guidance
has stood fast by me in times
of great stress."
, Proud Of Auburn
General Hart takes great pride
in being an Auburn man. His
educational background is equal
to any, he said, even to that of
graduates of more famous schools.
Respect for the institution is
ingrained in every Auburn man,
just as respect for the Marine
Corps is in every member of the
Marines.
The spirit of Auburn and the
espirit de corps are both unsurpassed,
he said. Each Marine is
certain that the Corps is superior
to any other organization in the
w o r l d , whether military or
civilian.
To retain this faith of the men
themselves, the corps inaugurat-

Walter Kelly Dead
Lt. Walter S. Kelly, 23-year-old
B-17 pilot, previously reported
as missing in action has been
officially declared killed over
France February 14, 1945.
Lt. Kelly, son of Mrs. J. E.
Kelly and the late J. E. Kelly of
Repton, was a senior at. API when
he was inducted into the Army
Air Forces in February of 1943.
At Auburn he was a student in
areo administration and was a
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity.
Lt. Kelly graduated from the
Army Air Forces Advanced Flying
iSchool at Stuttgart, Ark., in
May, 1944 receiving his wings
and commission as second lieutenant.
His pre-flight training he
received at Centre College, Danville,
Ky. He took Pre-flight at
Maxwell Field; primary at Augustine
Field, Jackson, Miss.;
basic at Walnut Ridge, Ark.; and
advanced at Stuttgart, Ark.
Lt. Kelly left the states Dec.
17, 1944 to join the 8th Air Force
in England. He was assigned to
the 407th Bombardment Squadron
of the 92nd Bomber Group.
Lt. Kelly was forced to leave
his formation on a return to his
base after bombing Dresden, and
was shot down while attempting
an emergency landing on the
coast of France.
General Marshall's message to
the family said "Lt. Kelly fought
valiantly in the supreme hour of
his country's need. His memory
will ever live in the grateful
heart of our nation."
ed a strenuous physical training
program before the war that insured
the total conditioning of
every man. Participation in sports
stressed the agressive spirit, confidence,
and the will to win
which are so necessary under
fire.
Physical Condition
"It was the superb physical
condition of our fighting men
that enabled them to make successfully
11 amphibious assaults
and endure fatigue and hardships
in accomplishing the assigned
tasks," -General Hart declared.
The man who is physically and
mentally strong and properly
prepared does . not fear his
enemy."
"We could not have lasted
through Roi-Namur, two months
of rest camp and-preparations for
the battle of Saipan, which lasted
26 days if we had not been physically
ready. Only ten days passed
between the end of the fighting
on Saipan and; t h e surprise
amphibious attack on Tinian. We
finished that joo in eight days,"
he continued.
They ended the battle for Iwo
Jima worn out physically and
mentally, but ready to build
again, he added.
"The fundamental belief which
stresses the importance of physical
development of the youth of
our nation was germinated in me
here at Auburn by Coach Donahue.
It has been carried on splendidly
throughrthe years developing
the mind and body of every
Auburn man.
"We must not now allow our
youth to remain soft; this must
be the responsibility of all centers
of education," he said.
Auburn Battle Cry Rings
At Baltimore Stadium
Ed Danforth, sports editor of
the Atlanta Journal, wrote in his
column Oct. 25, "A lone Auburn
man, a wonderer in the distant
seats of the Baltimore Stadium
last Saturday, yelled War Eagle
at a break in the organized cheering
of the brigade of Midshipmen
before the Navy-Tech game. His
voice carried to every one of the
55,000 people assembled."
That lone Auburn man was
Cpl. Bill Coach, Columbus, Ga.,
who said in a letter to a fraternity
brother, Warren Williams,
president of Pi Kappa Phi," . . .
I just couldn't resist giving out
with one War Eagle. What Mr.
Danforth neglected to mention in
this article is that my yell was
promptly answered by some wandering
son of Auburn who was
sitting in the end zone."
Mr. Danforth mentioned the
Auburn GI who took time out
from helping the British battle
Rommel at El Alamein and carved
on the Sphinx, War Eagle.
The feature of his column that
day was a picture of the envelope
an Auburn man, Capt. Austin R.
Martin, '40, used in sending a
check to Mr. Danforth for the
George Poschner fund. The check
was made out completely on a
typewriter: "First National Bank
of Wetumpka, Ala.," etc. A piece
of official stationery was used
and cut to fit.

C'mon men, let's ya'll sing with

You may think someone's begging
you to sing, but, honest, if
you could just see all the purty
girls in the Glee Club you'd be
callin' Dr. Arment -on-the phone
(if he had one) to see about "joining
up." Just think—over a hundred
girls and just a dozen men!
The Glee Club is going to present
"The Messiah" by Handel as a

Farm House Project Praised By Director
American Institute Of Family Relations
By Irene Long
Back in April, 1942, The Plainsman
stated in an editorial that
"Auburn has the jump on the
colleges of the entire nation. A
$3800 farm house, where students
in home economics may learn
first-hand the problems of rural
homemaking, is now under construction,
and according to reliable
college Sources, is the first
project of its kind in the entire
country."
The Country Gentleman, a national
magazine, last year invited
articles from seven girls who
were living or had lived in the
farm house. Their pictures appeared
with the articles on the
Youth Forum page, under the
title, "Is Farm Homemaking
Glamorous?"
Popenoe Interested
Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of
the American Institute of Family
Relations, liked the Country
Gentleman page and wrote Auburn's
dean of home economics
for more copies. This took time,
because copies had to be ordered
from the publisher, but they
have been obtained and were
mailed to him.
Dr. Popenoe, in his recent letter
of thanks, said, "This is just
the sort of thing needed to help
re-establish homemaking as a
respectable profession. The home

Tigers Rout Southwestern Louisiana 52-O
Hataway, Yearout Each Score Two,
Tigers Warm Up For Georgia Game
Auburn's Tigers, looking toward the annual Georgia Bulldog's
tussle Saturday, rolled over the hard fighting and gallant,
but badly outclassed SLI team Saturday in Montgomery's
Cramton Bowl.
The Tigers, using every man
on the squad, did pretty much
as they pleased. Kuykendall ran
35 yards in the first few minutes
of play for the Tiger's first douch-down.
The Louisiana boys did
not have the defense needed to
stop the powerful Tigers as six
Auburn men scored eight times.
Dan Hattaway and Bill Yearout
each scored twice.
Auburn took the ball on the
Bulldog's 44 yard line and with
Lang and Abraham battering to
the one yard line Auburn scored
again.
After a fumble by Norman the
Bulldogs were thrown for a 10
yard loss. Landry, Bulldog blocking
back, attempted to punt, but
big Frank Gatski, Auburn center,
broke through the line and
hit the ball so hard that it was
knocked back to the end zone,
for a safety for Auburn.
Punt Blocked
At the beginning of the second
quarter the Tigers blocked another
punt on the Bulldog 15. Hataway
skirted right end for a score
on the first play.
Bill Yearout snagged a pass intended
for the Bulldog wingback
and did some fancy stepping for
45 yards and another Auburn
score. Hataway scored on a 31
yard end run and Bill Abraham
intercepted a pass and ran 51
yards for the last score in the
first half.
No Score In Third Period
The Tigers were held scoreless
in the third period, but in the
fourth and final period Dan Hataway,
with the assistance of Don
Wilkes, scored again.
There were eight conversion
attempts. Smalley did not score
on five; Gatski did not on one;
Snell made good on his two tries.
Chicken Hawks Lose
To Georgia B Squad
Buddy Hatcher's accurate passing,
combined with the elusive
running of Mallory and Jerkins,
gave the Georgia Tech B team
the edge it needed Friday afternoon
to defeat Auburn's B squad
26-0.
The game in the Auburn stadium
was marked by fumbles
and loose play.
Hatcher tossed to Walter Foy
in the first quarter for Tech's first
score and connected on a long
heave to Jimmy Jumper late in
the fourth quarter for the final
tally.
Jerkins circled end for 17 yards
in the second period to register
the other Tech marker.
Chicken Hawks Threaten
Auburn threatened s e v e r al
times but only one Chicken Hawk
drive bore fruit. Billy Mann
lugged the ball across in the first
quarter.
This was Auburn's B team's
first loss. They were previously
rated the third B team in the nation,
behind Notre Dame and
Ohio State.
The Chicken Hawks .meet the
University of Georgia's B squad
in Lanett, Ga., Friday. In the
first Georgia-Auburn B game
this year Auburn won 6-0.
Last week the Chicken Hawks
defeated the University of Georgia
Bullpups at Albany 13-6. In
the seasons' opener the Auburn
B's walloped the Jacksonville
State Teachers eleven at Talladega,
72-6.

BACKTALK
Nov. 12, 1945
Dear Editor,
Almost every day we hear or
read of some disastrous fire in
which many persons were killed
or injured because of the lack of
adequate fire escapes. Thus far,
to my knowledge, API-has been
extremely fortunate that no such
occurence has taken place on its
campus.
However, this fact should not
mislead anyone into feeling that
it won't happen here. Perhaps it
won't, but where human lives
are concerned not even the remotest
possibility should be overlooked
or neglected.
As everyone knows only, too
well, there are some buildings on
our campus that are virtually
lacking in any means of rapid
removal of the occupants. For example,
Samford Hall could burn
to the ground in half the time required
to evacuate the people in
the building if it caught fire during
class hours.
It is true that a fire escape ladder
is located at each end of the
second floor, but most of the stu«,
dents don't know about them.
They are not marked in any way,
and even after students locate
them it is dubious if the outmoded,
antiquadated l a d d e rs
would be of any value.
If we students are required to
enter these buildings, surely we
should be afforded some visible
means of escape in the event of
a fire. It would seem that the
lives of the students and the safeguarding
of the valuable records
would be sufficient reason for
the addition of some form of fire
escapes.
Has this past war given the
impression to some people that
the price of a human life is so
cheap that it would seem unprofitable
to spend the necessary
amount of money to properly
equip all school buildings with
adequate fire escapes? It would
seem so. Even if the new escapes
saved only one life during their
entire existence would not that
one life alone be worth the entire
cost and upkeep?
Let's have immediate action in
order to prevent a horrible catastrophe
from destroying our institution
not only in a physical
sense but also-in-name-and reputation.
J;
> Sincerely,
Joe Hooten
Dear Muni,_
I have a pet peeve and I
thought maybe you could help
me.
Honestly, I don't mind being
late to class but I'm sure my professors
are not too pleased when
I open the squaking door in the
mist of roll call, panting and dis-sturbing
the class.
Not only that, but it is bad on
my disgestive system when I race
up New Building stairs after
breakfast to meet my 8 o'clock
class before the bell stops ringing.
I start out in plenty of time
-^1 think—as I hear Sanford
bonging in the distance, but I
soon find out differently. Sam-ford
Clock is the cause of all my
grief.
It is three minutes slow. Don't
laugh; I'm not an eager beaver.
But three minutes can sometimes
decide life or death.
Please, couldn't someone
change the clock and see that it
is always right.
Thank you,
Mildred Lippitt.

Winners Of First Round
As Play Goes Into First
At the end of the first week in
the second round-robin touch
football tournament, the league
winners OTS, SAE, AGR, Delta
Sig—are still on top. According
to the Intramural Board" plan,
each team plays the other members
of its league in the first and
second rounds. Finals will be
played .between league winners.
Last week's games were:
Delta Sigma Phi-Alpha Psi
The Delta Sigs moved closer to
a playoff spot by downing the
Alpha Psis 6-0. Logan, on a play
that started as an end run, passed
to Champion for the game's only
touchdown, the conversion attempt
failed. .
Theta Chi-Alpha Gamma Rho
One more tie game in a league
full of them. Neither team was
able to score although Theta Chi
threatened and actually took the
ball over only to have it called
back by a penalty. Alpha Gamma
Rho still leads the league although
it has been tied twice.
The game ended 0-0.
Sigma Nu-Kappa Sigma
Sigma Nus scored early to submerge
the Kappa Sigs 6-0.
Strang, Sigma Nu fullback, whipped
a pass to Woods in the first
quarter for a touchdown. This
score proved to be the difference
as both teams failed to cross the
goals from then on.
Kappa Alpha-Pi Kappa Tau
Council Sapp added more
points to his consistent scoring
as the KAs defeated the Phi
Kappa Taus. Failing to find a
receiver close, Sapp ran the ball
over for the game's lone touchdown;
his conversion pass to
Bobby Corr was good. The KAs
won 7-0.
OTS-Lambda Chi Alpha
The high scoring OTS team
keeps on rolling. Bob Stapleton's
ever effective left arm connected
for four touchdown passes, two
to Frosty Long and one each to
Lancaster and Amy. Lambda Chi
gained a moral victory by being
the first team to score against
the OTS defense. Buel Johnson's
pass to Quentin Burgess for the
Lambda Chi score was good. OTS
score 26 points to the Lambda
Chi's 7.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Alpha
Tau Omega
The ATOs, in a sportsmanlike
gesture, fielded only seven players;
this was the number in the
SAE line-up. With both squads
confused by the seven man play,
the game threatened to be a
scoreless tie. In the last period
Norman McLeod passed to Nim
Denson for an SAE touchdown,
making the score SAE 6, ATO 0.
SPE-Phi Delta Theta
This game resulted in a forfeit
in favor of the SPE team. Harold
Watkins, varsity letjerman, was
ineligible for intramural competition
according to intramural
rules. SPE, 1-Phi Delta Theta,.0
Sigma Chi-Pi KA
This game is still under discussion
as to the result. A Sigma
Chi player, Bill Higden, was also
ineligible. An agreement bet-tween
the two fraternities is ex
pected to be reached.

TIGERS SpT
(Continued from page 1)
of the greatest passing teams in
the nation. ^Their system is difficult
to stop. Auburn has yet to
show good pass defense.
Rabbit Smith arid Trippi, aided
by their experienced forward
wall, perhaps tops in the Southeastern
Cbraerence, will always
be touchdown threats—from any
point on the field.
Coach Carl Voyles knows all
these things. But this, year he has
a better squad than he had last
year. Blocking and tackle are
more effective and the scoring
potential of the backfield has
greatly improved.
Passing Better
Our passing attack, with, several
accurate tosses in the back-field,
has also been stepped up.
McClurkin,1^ Liptak, Garramore
and Moulton are four ends who
are always potential pass receivers.
The Tiger's line, thought to be
the weakest /point early in the
season, has proven itself a match
for the opponents in every conference
game. Only one team has
scored against Auburn on t he
ground. Mississippi State, sparked
by Harper'Davis, is the team
whose running attack broke
through the line.
Frank Gatski, center whom the
Alumni Athletic Advisory Board,
declared eligible last week, is
responsible fgr a great deal of
improvement.
Whether,,^ Auburn's youthful
Tigers can make up the difference
in age and experience with
fighting spirit, only Saturday's
game willj tell. Scrappy Auburn
teams are known for overcoming
the odds.
