Glomerata Will
Be Issued In
Late February
The 1943 Glomerata will be de­livered
prior to the close of the
third quarter—sometime during
the latter part of February, 1943,
and the following information to
the students has been released
concerning the book.
All under-graduate students
who have paid student activities
fees for the three consecutive
quarters will be entitled to re­ceive
a book. A student who has
been registered for only one quar­ter
will pay an additional $2.80 if
he receives a book. If he has been
registered for one quarter he will
pay an additional $1.40.
Students who are not enrolled
during the quarter during which
the book is delivered may re­quest
books at the same rate, and,
of they are to be delivered by
mail, 25c extra should be added.
The name and address of any­one
who will not be in school
next quarter and who wishes to
receive a copy of the Glomerata
must be turned in to the Glom­erata
office on or before Decem­ber
15, 1942.
The 1943 book covers the per­iod
from June 1, 1942, to Feb­ruary
28, 1943, or the nine months
covered by the first three quar­ters
under the quarter system.
This year's edition of the Glom­erata
is edited by John Scott, a
senior in business administration
from Auburn; the business man­ager
of the publication is Harry
Merriwether, of Atmore, also a
senior in business. ,
Students Asked To

Those students who failed to
complete their registration last
week will be allowed to finish
next week beginning on Wednes­day,
November 25, at 1:00 P. M.
The Registrar's office will be
open at this time to check sched­ules.
Students may begin paying

office will be closed on Sat­urday
noon for Homecoming.
Students already in college are
urged to complete their registra­tion
and payment of fees by this
time.
While old students may be al­lowed
to finish their registration
on Monday, only freshmen and
new students are supposed to
register at this time. If, for any
reason, any student now in col­lege
does not complete his regis­tration
by Monday afternoon
when the offices close, he will be
required to pay a fine for late
registration.
Young Artists
Make Opera
A Big Success
Opera, with all its color and
excitement, came to Auburn when
"Opera in Miniature" was pre­sented
by four young artists at
Alumni gym Tuesday night.
The artists, Elwyn Carter, bar­itone;
Virginia Kendrick, contral­to;
James Montgomery, tenor, and
Marie Montain, soprano;' per­formed
scenes from three popular
works, Bizet's "Carmen," Flow-tow's
"Martha," and Gounod's
"Faust."
Miss Kendrick's rich voice and
unselfconscious acting made her
a delightful stage personality in
all three of the miniatures, but
she was at her peak as Carmen.
Everything that one could ask
of a Carmen, she was eloquent
even in her silences. Only once
did she lose the stage, and that
was at Mr. Carter's entrance as
Toreador.
Mr. Montgomery and Miss Mon­tain
were more than adequate,
giving active support at all times.
In "Martha," Miss Montain and
Mr. Montgomery took the spot­light.
The clear sweet soprano of
Miss Montain vied with the im­passioned
pleas of Mr. Montgom­ery.
Mr. Carter and Miss Ken­drick
provided the comedy.
In the "Goodnight Quartet" Mr.
Carter won the audience over to
perdition as Mephistopholes. He
was one of the most "charming
devils" ever to come to Auburn.
Plainsman Organize
New Orchestra To
Furnish College Music
Having played two out-of-town
engagements since their reorgan­ization
in September, the Auburn
Plainsmen orchestra will be
heard in their first campus en­gagement
tonight when they
furnish the music for the Theta
Upsilon sorority dance to be held
in the Girls' gym.
The orchestra is led by Arthur
Depew, who plays the first trum­pet.
This year the Plainsmen have
eleven artists, five of whom
played last year. An electric
guitar was added to the instru­mentation
soon after reorganiza­tion
this fall.
Members of the orchestra with
the instruments they play are as
follows: Arthur Depew, Tom
Wheeler, and Fred Mann, trum­pets;
Clifton Effinger, Bob Ho-gan,
and L. G. Morris, saxo­phones;
Neil Harris and Bob Hart,
trombones; Sam Mayo, piano; Jim
Buckner, electric guitar; and
Doran Rich, drums.

Fraternities Get Ready For
Emergency with Inventories
In order to be in the best position to meet any and all ad­justments
which may come to fraternities in Auburn during
the present conflict, all the fraternities in the Interfraternity
council agreed to compile certain data and information which
will be available to the school,
the government, and the mem­bers
of the fraternity upon the
conclusion of the war or in event
of an emergency. This data will
be in the form of an inventory.
Special Meeting
At a special meeting of the
Council last Wednesday night,
Professor J. M. Robinson, faculty
adviser, called the_ representa­tives'
attention to the fact that
such an inventory would help the
fraternities to become more sta­bilized
if the same emergency oc­curred
that came about during
the last war.
Professor Robinson recalled
that during the last six months of
World War I the campus was
taken over as a military camp
and the school operated as such
with all the discipline which
goes with the army.
"This possible emergency is
more evident now than ever be­fore,"
continued Professor Robin­son,
"since the induction of 18
and 19 year old citizens will not
eliminate the younger members
of the societies from the draft."
Information To Be Compiled
The following information will
be compiled by the greek organi­zations
in preparedness for what­ever
adjustment may be neces­sary:
(1) A complete inventory will
be taken in all fraternity houses
of all chapter equipment. This in­ventory
will include articles in
the kitchen, dining room, living
room, housemother's apartment,
lodge, and yard. It will include
such items as stoves, cooking
utensils, china, silverware, furni­ture,
rugs, drapes, beds, chairs,
tables, and all other items be­longing
to the fraternity includ­ing
regalia and filing equipment.
An estimate will be made of
each item according to the judg­ment
of the fraternity taking the
inventory.
(2) Also, included in the in­ventory
will be a complete list of
the fixed annual obligations of
the fraternity, such as principal
reduction payments, interests on
mortgages, insurance on house
and furniture and other annual
obligations.
(3) A blue print or drawing
will be included in the inventory.
The drawing will have the di­mensions
ri all the rooms on each
floor r 'jll show the location
of each ^ om according to floor
plan.
There is no indication of this
inf6rmation being wanted by the
college or the government, but
in event of any emergency, it will
be on hand and ready to be pre­sented
for quick action.
Directory Change
The Registrar's office an­nounced
one change in the new
student directories now being dis­tributed
at the Student center.
This correction is in the phone
at 281 East Thach. The number
in the student directory is 296.
The corect number is 116. Stu­dents
are asked to please note
this correction and make the
change in their directories.
Ag Engineers Meet
Ag Engineers will elect officers
Monday night, November 23, 1942,
in Room 206 of the Ag Engineer­ing
Building at 7:00. All mem­bers
are urged to attend.
Pep Rally Shows Team
And Students Ready
To Win Game Saturday
Auburn's determination to beat
the Georgia Bulldogs in Colum­bus
Saturday was evidenced by a
huge pep rally held last night
in the Auburn stadium. A crowd
of some 1500 students gathered
to hear pep talks by Coach Jim­my
Fenton, Professor Robert
Evans, and various members of
the football team. After each
speaker in turn had voiced his be­lief
that Georgia is headed for the
upset of the year, the crowd ad­journed
to the parking lot behind
the stadium where a huge bon­fire
had been prepared by the
cheerleaders and members of the
freshman class. Accompanied by
cheers from the enthusiastic
crowd, an effigy of the Georgia
Bulldog was tossed upon the
flames, and the rally was official­ly
brought to a close.
The rally was the largest of
any held in Auburn this year, and
John Spencer, head cheerleader,
expressed his appreciation to the
student body for the cooperation
that they have given him in the
past. The last rally of the year
will be held next week, before
the Auburn-Clemson Homecom­ing
game.
Theta Chi Elects
Wednesday night the Chi chap­ter
of Theta Chi fraternity, in its
second initiation this., quarter,
initiated the following men: Ju­lius
Grice, Pensacola, Fla.; Bill
Connor, Florence, Ala.; Taylor
Lumpkin, Aliceville, Ala.; Lauris
Jones, Evergreen, Ala.; and Bill
Lang, Carrollton, Ala.
Jesse Twilley, president of the
fraternity, p r e s i d e d at the
initiation.
Students For
Reserve Must
Get Draft O.K.
Students who apply for enlist­ment
in the Army Enlisted Re­serves
must submit a statement
from their draft boards in addi­tion
to the .other papers required.
The new regulation requiring
the statement from the draft
board was made this week by the
War Department. Kirtley Brown,
armed forces representative, said
that those students who have al­ready
obtained blanks for appli­cation
in the reserves should come
to his office at once and get the
form which must be signed by
the draft board.
Last Day, December 19
Enlistment in the Army Enlist­ed
Reserves will be closed for all
students except freshmen after
December 19.
Co-op students are not eligible
to join the Army Enlisted Reserve
Corps during their work period.
To be eligible to join the Army
Enlisted Reserve Corps (or any
branch of the Reserve), a student
must be on the campus, enrolled
in college, and attending classes
at the time of his enlistment.
November 27 is the last day of
the present fall quarter on which
enlistments will be made for the
present quarter.
Grades Must Be Good
Students who join the Army
Enlisted Reserve Corps, or any
other branch of the Reserves, dur­ing
the present fall quarter and
those who have previously joined
any branch of the reserves will be
reported to the War Department
if they are not in good standing
as a result of their scholastic av­erage
made during the present
fall quarter. For freshmen, the
minimum requirement is a grade-point
average for the quarter of
1.0, and for Sophomores, Juniors,
and Seniors.the requirement for
the quarte^-jtfc a grade-point av­erage
of 1^5.:
Silent as Biggest
Game in SEC Nears
By JIMMIE DAVIS
Although Auburn has not been
one of the leading teams in the
nation this year, they will defin­itely
be playing in the headline
game for the country Saturday.
The Auburn-Georgia game is be­ing
viewed with more than casual
interest by. sports fans all over
the nation. The unpredictable
Tigers, a team that lost to Florida,
is given a chance by many sports
authorities to win. C o a ch
Meagher is quoted as not antici­pating
an upset—but anything
may happen Saturday.
Georgia Rose Bowl Bound
Word from the tournament of
Roses indicates the gates are wid­ening
for the Georgia Bulldogs—
a team that has conquered Ala­bama,
Kentucky, and Tulane.
As usual, Auburn will be rated
as the underdog as they were
aaginst Tech, Georgetown, Tu­lane,
and Louisiana State. Twice
the Tigers came through with up­sets
while ending with a 6-6
deadlock with Georgetown.
The future status of Auburn
football stock will rest for the
greater part upon the shoulders
of Roy "Monk" Gafford Auburn's
threat for- All-American. Should
Gafford have a good day the foot­ball
heights that Georgia might
otherwise attain will fade fast.
Butts Shifts Backfield
In anticipation of much trouble,
Coach Butts has moved sopho­more
sensation Charlie Trippi to
the first string—a backfield that
now has McPhee, blocking back,
Sinkwich, Davis and in addition,
Trippi. Fans well remember the
last minute pass that defeated the
Tigers, last year and the Auburn
boys will this year have double
trouble with Georgia's great end
pass receiver Poschner allied with
the fleet back Lamar Davis. Au­burn
has stressed pass defense
greatly in the past- week, and the
boys will be on their toes against
the Sinkwich aeriai blows.
Gafford Possible AU-American
Possibly the greatest single at­traction
of the game will be the
performances of Auburn's Monk
Gafford and Georgia's Frank
Sinkwich. Gafford, who is fast
becoming a serious contender for
Ail-American, will be backed by
a team that last week rose to great
heights to defeat LSU 25-7: In
the line Captain Vic Costellos
who says we'll win this one for
Coach Meagher, Joe Eddins, Jim
McClurkin, All - Southeastern
guard—Jack Cornelius, Clarence
Grimmett and Billy Barton will
form the Auburn forward wall.
A wall we hope that will be able
to stop the fast stepping Georgia
backs.
Saturday will mark the 50th
meeting of the two clubs and
probably the most colorful, ex­citing
game in the history of the
conflicts. After succeeding present
Ole Miss, coach Harry Mehre, the
helm of the Georgia aggregation,
Coach Butts has raised the Bull­dog
football standard to great
heights.
Auburn Reserves Ready
After putting on a good show
against LSU Saturday, many Au­burn
reserves will probably be
relied upon for service against
the Georgians. Gene Barineau
came through^ with flying colors
in a relief role and will be in line
for action Saturday. Others who
will probably get first call in­clude
Jimmy Rose, Mark Rainer,
Cy Kirsch, Jack Ferrell, Lou
Chateau and Bert Trapani.
Auburn's most serious prob­lem
is that of Frank Sinkwich
and secondly that of Charlie
Trippi—well, Georgia had better
be well on their toes.

Column Left Time Is Short to Decide on Reserve Status
By BRUCE MARTIN
Editor's Bote: The opinions expressed
In this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies ot this paper.
This weekend the great mass
movement is on. All available
cars, bicycles, tricycles, motor­cycles,
horses and buggies, mules
a n d wagons, thumbs, skates,
scooters, kiddie cars, and hiking
shoes will be conscripted to trans­port
the Aub,urn student body to
Memorial Stadium in Columbus.
Trains, busses, ships, and air­planes
will probably not be used.v
But we'll get there.
* * *
And some of us may get back.
* * *
It will be a great game. We
have statistics to prove it. Last
Saturday Auburn beat LSU by 18
points. LSU previously defeated
Georgia Naval Aviators by thirty-four
of said points. Therefore, last
Saturday, we were 52 points bet­ter
than the GNA.
The records, however, show
that the GNA boys handed us a
41-14 short end two weeks ago.
They were twenty-seven of those
counters better than we were
then. Therefore, in one week, we
improved 79 points on a team
having five Ail-Americans.
* * *
Florida beat us 6-0 and then,
in an off moment, let Georgia slip
over a seventy-five point defeat
on 'em. That would give Georgia
an 81 point lead over the Tigers
two weeks ago.
* * *•
But that Great Auburn Team
has had those two weeks to im­prove.
And that gives us a margin
Saturday of seventy-seven points
over the team rated as number
one in the country. And Georgia
has only one All - American,
whereas the calculations were
based on five.
* * »
Is there any doubt as to why
we feel safe with the NRMSFSFG
prediction of Auburn S3, Georgia
6? Two weeks ago we would have
predicted 53-6 and forgotten to
call names, but now that we have
mathematical proof, we feel very
confident. We only hope that the
Auburn Tigers won't be overcon­fident!
* * *
We feel that some explanation
is in order in regard to our un­ethical,
cowardly, mud-slinging
campaign which we have tireless­ly
waged against last year's senior
class. Surely you have noticed it;
it finally rated headlines.
* * »
We stated that we would like
to see the fish pool for which
money was raised last year. We
certainly would. If for no other
reason, we would like to see it
because it would mean that the
war was over and the bonds were
Cashed (thereby denoting an Al­lied
victory).
* * *
We stated that we neyer ex­pected
to see the pool. We don't.
We are afraid that we will be far
from here by the time that dream
comes true.
* * *
We stated that we hope that
our class will not leave an empty
hole where our fish pool is sup­posed
to be. We do. The hole is
unsightly; and our class, knowing
vthe situation, would have no ex­cuse
for planning construction.
* * »
We have not criticized last
year's senior class at all. We have
not accused them of misappropri­ation
of funds. In fact, we can't
afford to. Even though their skit
night were a deliberate fraud
(subjunctive, Lt. Underwood, not
an accusation), it would still be
preferable to ours.
* * *
In order to prevent homicide,
we are withholding the name of
our contributer of the worst pun
of the week. We were told of the
sad, sad story of the golfer who
used to support his ball on a
stream of air in preparation for
driving. But now his invention is
no good, 'cause in this war there
are only selectees, and no draft­ees.
/
* * *
Next week we burn the rationed
mid-nite oil. We try to learn in
three nights what we should have
learned in three months. Then we
eat Thanksgiving dinner and have
an exam for dessert.
* » *
We wish the President would
mess up the calendar again. But
we guess he's too busy now to
bother with pardoning turkeys.
* * *
And then comes Homecoming,
right after exams, when we are
afraid to go home. It's a good
thing that's not what Homecom­ing
is for.
» » *
But don't ask us now what
Homecoming is for. That's another
story. « « *
Our poet is still on a strike. He
even refuses to have his name
mentioned until Karrie, the Kop-ied
Karracter, makes Willie, the
Wearisome Wart, go home to his
institution.

Q u a d r a t i cs
By ALLEN ODOM
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
In tills column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
The things college students are
asked to do in the process of get­ting
an education are amazing. In
the life of the student we find
many diverse assignments. With­out
any explanation we give the
following example of one poor,
little, beat up co-ed, in her own
words. We quote:
"I really wasn't so very sur­prised
when I was told to do a
little snooping around to find out
to whom Shakespeare's sonnets
were addressed. I merely looked
through millions and millions of
books, to come to the conclusion
that Shakespeare had a peculiar
sense of humor . . . I personally
think he was talking to himself."
"I wasn't even set back when
I had to investigate "the private
life of a coyote. I read and re­ported
how that ingenuous animal
installs his own air-conditioning
system without flicking my eye­lashes
once.
"I covered a crime wave and a
concert with equal equanimity.
When pressed for time I even
read a French novel standing on
my h e a d , thereby combining
French and phys. ed.
"I made a valiant effort at writ­ing
a twenty page paper on "The
Value of Recreation to Morale in
Time of Emergency", though how
I'd know is beyond me.
"But, by golly, I quit when I
was asked to put an ending on
Coleridge's "Ghristobel."
But that just goes to prove that
in these pre-exam days you may
find normally sane people doing
almost anything. You might see
an ag student examining the
nether .side of a leaf in a desperate
effort to round up a rare species
of something or othe"r.
Or a Vet sneaking up on his
neighbor's Persian kitty with a
can of ether in one hand and a
105-Howitzer in the other. Don't
think too badly of him. It's just
that he's got to complete his term
project in Comparative Anatomy.
If you walk in the vicinity of
Ross you might hear a student
who got in a hurry finishing up
his lab work . . . but, brother,
you won't be seeing much of him!
And if you think some of the
students are going arty, you're
probably right . . . ten to one it
is an a r t student, but he just
doesn't have time to get his hair
cut what with term problems due
next week.
If you care to do a little re­search
you might even find a
lonely engineer stumbling around
Ag Hollow in the dead of night
with his little squintch-a-mahic-key
. . . all for the sake of edu­cation.
But honestly, the queerest sight
of all, the home-ec girls. They can
• be seen just any old time lugging
anything from a freshly killed
beef to a crocheted bed-warmer
about the campus. You never see
a home-ec girl without something
homey in her arms.
Since no- mention has been
made of the busy doings of the
Science and Lit students one
might be led to think that they
don't do anything just before ex­ams.
That's just like thinking
Einstein has to use an adding ma­chine
to get up his laundry list.
They are the people nobody
ever sees. Three weeks before
the Days of Agony they move
over to the library in a body. The
Red Cross has installed cots and
(Continued on Page 5)
Last' Tuesday afternoon, Colonel John
J. Waterman, in a friendly little talk with
all the college sophomores, reminded them
of a few pertinent facts which we'd like
to reiterate and reimpress on the sopho­mores.
Sophomores must join Army Enlisted
Reserve before December 19. That is the
day on which Christmas holidays start, and
since the time limit for sophomores' en­listing
in this program is December 31,
only those people in class between De­cember
19 and 31 will be admitted, which
includes nobody.
Specification as to preference of Navy,
Marine, or Coast Guard reserve programs
may be made on your Enlisted Reserve
Corps application blank, but these reserves
programs cannot be joined by ROTC
sophomores until they have finished their
six quarters (or equivalent) of elementary
ROTC military instruction. After elemen­tary
ROTC is completed, the student who
has not joined a reserve program can join
either Army, Navy, or Marine Reserve
program outright.
A boy may belong to a Navy or Marine
Corps reserve corps while he is taking ad­vanced
ROTC, if he has transferred to
that program from Army enlisted reserve.
He cannot join a Navy or Marine Corps re­serve
program in the middle of an ad­vanced
ROTC course.
Colonel Waterman urged all the sopho­mores
to come to him or to Mr. Kirtley
Brown, Armpd Forces Representative,
Samford 10. )r further information or
for help in aJ--«ivering any questions they
might have. L.J.H.
A Pledge . . . by The Auburn Plainsman, 1942
Without sacrificing editorial independ­ence
or their right to make independent
judgments, editors and staff members of
this newspaper agree to unite with all col­lege
newspapers of the nation to support,
wholeheartedly and by every means at
their command, the government of the
United States in the war effort, to the end
that the college press of the nation may be
a united Voice for Victory.

All Students Now Subject to Draft
Until recently much stress was laid upon
the fact that college students should be
deferred for as long a period as possible
in order that they might complete their
education. It was pointed out that the col­lege
graduate would be invaluable in post­war
reconstruction.
The teen-age draft bill, however, has
slightly altered the circumstances, for the
Allied nations need now as never before
physically-hardened, trained, and educat­ed
young men. Whereas student defer­ment
was previously emphasized only for
post-war improvement, it is now doubly
emphasized because of these present needs.
Here in our own institution we have
stepped up our education program, in­stalled
a rigorous physical conditioning
system, and received thorough drilling
and tutoring in modern warfare. Through
the foresight of our present government a
program has been worked out by which
students may enlist and yet remain in col­lege
indefinitely to pursue their studies to
the benefit of everyone.
The realization has not yet dawned on
many students that they are subject to
draft under the new bill. Some are hesita­ting
to sign for the reserve. Others have
yet to decide which branch they are best
suited for. For some the decisions are dif­ficult
because of previous inexperience on
their part in any such procedure, and rum­ors
increase these difficulties. ,
Advice and long consultation with com­petent
authorities are needed badly. Such
advice is obtainable through college offi­cials
serving at enlistment headquarters
in Samford hall.
There is need for prompt action on the
part of all students affected by the new
draft bill. If this concerns you, determine
your status as soon as possible: Then settle
down to work with the objective of extrac­ting
the maximum from your studies. You
will benefit far more than anyone else by
your efforts. A.
Cavaliers the Best Choice of College Bands
With the announcement of the Interfra-ternity
Council that a band had been
signed for the Homecoming dances, other
organizations can now go ahead with their
plans for the week end.
The band signed, The Alabama Cava­liers,
is considered by many in this section
of the country to be one of the best. Per­haps
it doesn't rank with Tommy Dorsey,
Les Brown, and the other big "name"
bands over the country, but no college stu­dent
ever ranked with the President of the
United States, while he was in college.
The Cavaliers have had wide and varied
experiences during the past few years of
traveling over the country. Their reputa­tion
is one of the finest and their popular­ity
is indicated by the demand that is set
up for them each summer and vacation
period.
The council contacted all types of bands
to play for the dances but the proposed
gas rationing held many of them back un­til
it was too late to do any contracting. A
band close by had to be selected and the
Cavaliers were chosen.
The Auburn Knights, whom we think are
the best in the land, could not be signed
because of an engagement made during the
early part of the fall. They wanted to come
but strongly recommended the 'Bama lads
to play on the plains if they could not.
Price of the tickets will not be too much
for the average student to pay to see and
dance to a good band. The prices were set
at this level to enable more students to go
to the dance who would not get to go if
the higher prices prevailed.
We think that the Council has done a
swell job in selecting a band for the big­gest
week end on the campus for the whole
year. The game will be fine, and the dance
will be a fitting climax for Homecoming,
1942.

What Do You Think?
By LEONARD HOOPER
"What Do You Think" this week tried to find out if Auburn's stu­dent
body is in favor of resuming more intimate relations with the
University of Alabama, mainly the scheduling of football games, and
of course other athletic events and other inter-campus competitions.
The major objection to this relationship in the past was the spark
that flew when the students of the two schools met in the various
towns where football games between the two schools were held. This
was back in t he roarin' twenties, when college students were not as
well self-disciplined as we are now.
Anyway, many people think that the world has become a little
more civilized since those days, and that we can start to schedule
football games with the University as soon after the war as football
will be played. Many people think that such an event would be im­possible
to arrange. Here's the pro and con:

Lamour Will Be
Attraction At
Tiger Theater
Dorothy Lamour has a new
glamour garment now. The se­ductive
sarong has been folded
up and laid away. It has been re­placed
in glory and eye appeal by
a little thing whipped up by Par­amount
designer Edith Head
called the "nautchy-nautchy!"
Designed especially for Doro­thy's
role of a Moroccan princess,
the Paramount comedy, "Road to
Morocco" will be the Sunday and
Monday attraction at the Tiger
Theatre. Inspiration for it came
straight from the Arabian Nights.
Touches have been added here
and there that are pure Holly­wood
and if Scheherezade had
worn a n y t h i n g like it, she
wouldn't have had to talk for a
thousand and one nights.
Dorothy's "nautchy - nautchies"
are all patterned on a basic model
of a form-fitting top, a bare mid­riff
and a sheath-like skirt slit
from the ankles to a little above
the knee in front. They are all of
diaphanous materials and are in
several shades—white, chartreuse
and black over a flesh tone. The
prize number is nude colored chif­fon,
woven with gold threads and.
encrusted with tiny gems.
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope,
who share stellar honors with her
in the film, both swear by the
allure-power of Dorothy's new
come-hitcher raiment. Bob says

is the president of the Pan Hel­lenic
council, composed of repre­sentatives
of all the sororities on
the campus.
The decorations for the dance
will consist of a blue starred
back-drop with a silver silhouette
of a dancing couple. Soft blue
lights will be used during the
dance, highlighted with rainbow
colors for the lead out.
The sorority will have a break­fast

Poet Alfred Noyes Speaks Monday Night
English Author Speaks On
'The Foundations of Belief"
Alfred Noyes, famous British poet and author, will speak
in Langdon Hall next Monday night at 8:15 P. M. on "The
Foundations of Belief"; h e will also r e a d several of his poems
d u r i n g the evening. Dr. Noyes, whose speech will be in the
n a t u r e of an answer to modern agnosticism, with a view to
reconstruction after the war, is the third attraction of the
1942-1943 A u b u r n Concert and L e c t u r e series.
Noyes' Philosophy
The English poet ranks high among those defending, aes­thetic
and religious values against
the competing doctrines of ma­terialistic
philosophies. He lays
bare in his lectures the mocking
emptiness of superficial present-day
creeds and emphasizes the en­during
qualities of those values so
often expressed in the classics of
the various arts.
Dr. Noyes was born and edu­cated
in England. After four
years at Oxford University he be­gan
his literary career with the
publication of poems in various
leading journals. His fame grew
with each passing year until to­day
he is "ranked among the most
popular and best-loved poets in
the English speaking countries of
the world.
His Verse
Among the volumes of Alfred
Noyes' verse are "The Golden
Hynde," "The Enchanted Is­land,"
"Beyond the Desert," and
"The Torch Bearers." Many of
his poems deal with American
subjects, and" to one of these—
"The Avenue of Allies"—Ex-
President Taft wrote an introduc­tion
in which he said that the
author was "one of the great poets
of this generation," in his treat­ment
of war and peace, and his
expression of the hope that we
all hold for the future of a world
set free from wars. His most re­cent
books include "Shadows on
the Down and Other Poems," "If
Judgement Comes," and "Pagent
of Letters," a critical appraisal of
English literature.
Indicts Hitler
In the spring-of-194L.he pub­lished
a long poetic indictment of
Hitlerism and its foremost expon­ent.
A copy of this indictment of
Hitlerism and the arraignment of
Hitler before an international bar
of justice was flown to England
for presentation to Prime Mini­ster
Winston Churchill, soon after
its publication.
During the first world war, he
was unable to enter active mili­tary
service because of defective
eyes and was assigned to the For­eign
Office. The value'of his work
there was recognized by his ap­pointment
in 1918 as Commander
of the Order of the British Em-
I
pire.
At the beginning of this war,
the poet remained at his home on
the Isle of Wight, but repeated
Opera Stars Are True Auburnites
With Their Friendly Attitude
Appreciative Audience Heard the 'Opera
In Miniature' Last Tuesday Night at the Gym
Auburn enthusiastically welcomed the four young singers
whose Tuesday night's performance endeared them to the
hearts of students and townspeople alike. These friendly tal
ented people were so gracious and warm that they seem to
manifest the true and ideal Au
burn spirit.
Nazi bombardments made the
place untenable. He arrived in
Canada with his wife and three
children during the summer of
1940 and toured the Dominion
speaking for the National Coun­cil
of Education, prior to his ap­pearances
in the United States. >
Honors Received
Alfred Noyes has taught cours­es
at Princeton and the California
Institute of Technology, but most
of his time has been divided be­tween
writing and lecturing. He
was honored by Syracuse Univer­sity
in 1942 which conferred upon
him the honorary degree of Litt.
D. He also holds the honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters from
Yale University, and Doctor of
Laws from Glasgow University,
Scotland.
Dr. Noyes has supported the Al­lied
war efforts in World War II
with his pen and voice emphasiz­ing
the need for a revival of
Christian ethics and morals in
national and international af­fairs.
Series Tickets
Tickets for Alfred Noyes' lec­ture
and for five other attrac­tions
of the Auburn Concert and

Virginia Kendrick
By Dot Fenn
"Do you have a hamburger?"
were the first words of Virginia
Kendrick, contralto of "Opera in
Miniature", as this interviewer
entered the door of her dressing
room. She was tired and hungry
after a hard day of traveling, but
was still friendly and charming.
Her home is in Pittsburg and
she is soloist at the Holy Trinity
Church, where "O' Little Town
of Bethlehem" was composed. She
won the National Federation of
Music award and attended Curtis
Institute.of Music in Philadelphia.
She has also played with the Phil­adelphia
Grand Opera Companies.
This company, Concert Man­agement
Willard Matthews, was
formed only this year and upon
their return to New York "they
expect to do movie shorts".
Her Family
She is married to a "Carolinian
Doctor" and has a nine month old
daughter. Virginia doesn't want
her daughter to sing for she says,
"Singing isn't useful and a career
in singing is difficult in this age.
Singing is like a disease—you
can't get rid of it."
She had the same old complaint
to make, the one we hear from all
such visitors'—no stage and cur­tain—
but she was thrilled by the
appreciative audience.
"You know that helps more
than you realize.", she- added
while packing her costumes.
James Montgomery
By Kathryn Lewis
"The audience last night was
one of the nicest I've ever seen,"
declared James Montgomery, ten­or
in Opera in Miniature, when
he was interviewed today. He
said that he loved to perform be­fore
an audience and especially
before such an appreciative one.
Mr. Montgomery is married and
has four children—-two sons and
two daughters, who are all musi­cal.
His home is at 5326 Baynter
son tickets are $1.10, and tickets
for the faculty, the public, and
high school students are $3.30.

Street, Germantown, Pennsylvan­ia.
He said that Germantown was
a most inappropiate name at the
present but it was founded long
before the Nazi Regime.
While attending college a t
Princeton he was a member of
the Triangle Club and Glee Club.
Singing was his hobby then.
Favorite Stars
His favorite opera stars are
Kirsten Flagstad, John Charles
Thomas, and Richard Crooks. He
said, "I hate to say that Miss Flag­stad
is one of my favorites because
of her political views, but none
can compare to her.", His favor­ite
opera, to sing, is La Traviata,
by Verdi. He is very fond of light
opera, especially the works of
Gilbert and Sullivan.
When asked what he thought
of women in this war he com­mented,
"Women are doing a
wonderful job in war work and
they are just as dependable as
men. They are 100 per cent in
anything they undertake."
Likes Pipe
He smokes a pipe and says that
he finds he can sing better after
smoking one. However, he thinks
cigarettes are harmful.
He likes sports and while at
Princeton he was on the track
team for three years. In 1920 he
made the Olympic team but was
unable to attend because of an
injury to a leg. He likes football
and plays golf and tennis when­ever
his career will permit.
Marie Montain
By June Andreades
Getting an interview with the
lyric coloratura soprano, Marie
Montain, wasn't an easy job. Af­ter
getting a few hurried words
with Miss Montain while she
made changes in her costume for
the scenes in "Martha," it was
decided that I should come back
after the performance.
Miss Montain has sung all the
leading roles in opera with the
San Carlo Grand Opera company,
the Don Pasquale Opera company,
and the Rochester Civic Opera,
including "Carmen" at the Cen­tury
theater in Radio City. She
has sung at the Radio City Music
Hall and has been the guest of
Leon Rothier, world-famous
Metropolitan star.
Her Education
Hailing from a small town in
Wyoming didn't hinder Marie
Montain from becoming a talent­ed
musician and opera singer.
Miss Montain is a graduate of the
Conservatory of Rome, having
studied the violin under many of
the famous personages.
After playing the violin for
years and having won many cups
and medals, Miss Montain decided
that she would like to sing—and
so she did.
"I played the clarinet in the
high school band just so I could
get to see all the football games
free!", Miss Montain said.
Elwyn Carter
By Buck Taylor
A six foot, five inch, two hun­dred
and fifty pound former
football star singing his way to a
Ph. D. in Education—that's Elwyn
Carter, handsome baritone, who
was here Tuesday evening in
"Opera in Miniature."
College Record
To the thousand odd music lov­ers
gathered in Alumni Gymnas­ium,
Carter's physical appearance
might easily have been deceiving.
For few people in the apprecia­tive
audience would have guessed
that "that big guy who's playing
the Devil" was in reality a bril­liant
student, holding a bachelor
of arts degree from Alma College
(famous among small colleges for
its consistently outstanding grid,
teams), a master of arts degree
from Columbia, and preparing
to get his doctor's degree in sev­eral
months.

Over 500 volunteer officer can­didates

During this period he earned and

Election Dispute
Is Needless in Times
Such as These
Editor of The Auburn Plainsman
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Editor:
I feel, as a member of the stu­dent
body of Auburn, it proper to
reply to the article on student
elections in the issue of the
Plainsman of November 13.
I realize, to the BMOCs, an ac­tion
of the kind that was made
contained an audacious aspect,
but do these men of the Plains
ever stop to think that perhaps a
majority of the student body hold
the same opinions of that group?
Having the question brought
into the open seems to be advan­tageous
to the men in charge of
affairs because if there has been
any doubt in any student's mind
as to the fairness of the elections
on the campus, that doubt will be
removed.
It is generally thought that
elections have been shady and
crooked at times in the past, and
there is no reason why they could
not be now—except perhaps the
honor and integrity of the stu­dents
in office at present.
It was mentioned in the article
that the leaders in office would
not be there if they were not
trusted by the students. Perhaps
that is true but I ask, with all
due respect to the leaders of the
the campus, do you not think per­sonality
and winning manners
have more to do with winning
election than a good character
has? Has this not proven true in
politics—not only in college, but
in the history of the world? Col­lege
is a small world, you know.
I am not complaining about
the integrity or honor of leading
Auburn students. I am- merely
wondering if the editorial was not
a bit hasty? I do not believe an
action of the sort described by the
editorial deserved such a repri­mand
as it received, and the re­primand
makes me wonder
whether the doubt of elections
was true or not. I believe if the
people who are in charge were
"big" enough they would have
recognized the doubt as only
normal and would have over
looked it as real people with hon­or
and a free conscience should.
A part of Americanism is dis­playing
one's ideas freely and

frankly. And, as far as I know
this group did just that.
The editorial implies distrust in
leadership, if the group distrusts
their leaders, perhaps they are
wr6ng, but if they were only in­terested
in seeing fairness done
to both sides, they were right.
I would like for both parties to

the Auburn students lose their

have been little.
I close with this question: Why
has such an issue been made over
this when it is only a very minor
thing in this, our life?

Yardstick
By JOHN PIERCE
From Athens to Calhoun, from Dalton to Waycross the
boys will close up their stores once ajgairi tomorrow afternoon
and gather round the loudspeakers to thrill anew as the Great
and Glorious Georgia Bulldogs go out to carve another notch
on their string. y
This time they've arranged to throw the Auburn
Plainsmen in with Georgia's Bad Boys, and it's only fit­ting
to the star gazers on the Chattahoochee's east bank
that Capt. Vick's gang, sufficiently overwhelmed with
the almighty importance of the opposition, will enter into
the city of Columbus whimpering and quivering and in
a state of terror unparalleled since David drew the
Goliath detail.
That state of horror, they figure, should dwell with the„
Plainsmen because by now Coach Meagher's bums have had
the whole season to read the papers and so discover just
what a great thing is happening in the neighboring territory.
You know, they'll tell you, that Georgia is the nation's
number one ball team because Associated Press said so;
that Sinkwich is immortal because the Saturday Evening
Post said so; that Georgie Poschner is AU-American be­cause
the Atlanta Journal said so.
Now, armed with this and similar bits of data compiled
and spread by the Athens office, the Dogs will loaf in to­morrow
and warm up for the Rose Bowl, where they've de­cided
they'll go after the regular season ends. And it ought
to be pretty easy tomorrow. The papers say it will.
But take the guys who hang around Auburn Stadium.
They're a singular bunch, mainly because they might be
described as "unpredictable." Either these jerks can't
read or are immune to the Bulldog press agentry, for right
now you'll find them looking to Georgia with some con­tempt—
and no terror.
The reasons Auburn hasn't folded with paroxysms are
severalfold. One is that they tangle up with Bowl teams two
or three times yearly. In recent seasons they've met Tenn­essee's
Rose Bowlers, Clemson's Cotton Bowlers, Boston's
Sugar Bowlers, and Tech and Mississippi State's Orange
Bowler. Another is that, playing a hard, long schedule, they
come across more ballyhoo and newspaper All-Americans
in a season than most teams see in a decade.
The third reason is outstanding. The Plainsmen have
met the Glorious Georgia Bulldogs three times in the past
three years and have outplayed them three times. In those
three they've scored 20 points against 21 for the Dogs.
Of the men who faced last year's Georgia, which was a
virtual duplicate of this edition, all were alive after the
game and were able to call themselves as good or better
than the Bad Boys.
That's what it adds up to and that's what Coach Meagher's
team is figuring on the eve of this one. They're thinking
they'll win tomorrow. They're pretty sure they can do it
with the breaks.
Once again Auburn will see Fireball Frankie Sinkwich,
this time without his confetti strewn, diamond-studded, mil­lion
dollar jaw brace. Frankie is slated to meet up with Monk
Gafford in something of an All-American duel.
For us there's little to be decided in this match. We've
seen Sinkwich and we've seen Gafford and countless
other greats from practically every team in the league,
and we've been convinced all year that the Monk is the
best all around back in the Southeastern Conference.
There'll be considerable more variety in the Bulldog of­fense
tomorrow than was seen last year, first because of the
development of the Sinkwich passing arm, secondly because
of the addition of Charlie Trippi to the backfield, and, now,
because of the shift of Frank the Great to fullback. Though
this latter change took place only last week Coach Butts
seems to have had a fair measure of success with his ball
carriers, they having registered an average gain of 444 yards
per game thus far in the season.
The Dogs depend a lot on an unbalanced line to the
right and throw the bulk of the power plays to that side.
The backfield works from a single wing, and all hands
will be present except Ken Keuper, now on the injured
list. Look for Sinkwich to do most of the running be­tween
the two ends and Trippi to handle the sweeps, as
Charlie ranks as the faster of the two. Lamar Davis, who
waltzed away with last year's game after the blamed
thing had actually ended, has changed from his end posi­tion
to wingback and can still be described as "fast."
Outstanding line performers to watch are Poschner, who
missed the '41 game due to a broken arm, and tackle Gene
Ellenson.
Army Fighter
Planes Are The
Best in World
U. S. Planes Have High
Score Against Zeros
. And Messerschmitts
The United States now posses­ses
in seven distinctive types
planes the equal of which has
never been built by any other
country, allied or axis. From last
February 1 to September 20 the
allied pilots in U. S. planes had
shot down 279 axis planes with
only 114 lost themselves. No other
nation has designed and built so
many planes for separate and dis­tinct
missions as has our country
in the present war.
This information was recently
disclosed by the government after
a congressional committee had in­vestigated
rumors and collected
facts about American fighter
planes.
Also included in the commit­tee's
report were the facts that no
other nation has installed so many
protective devices to prevent the
pilot from getting hurt or injured
unnecessarily. Leak proof fuel
tanks, most complete armor plate
protection, heaviest fire power,
and longest cruising range are a
few of the facts uncovered by the
congressional committee.
Three of fastest planes in Army
Three of the fast Army pursuit
planes are the P-39 Airacobra,
P-51 Mustang and the Thunder-boat,
P-47. These planes have
distinguished themselves for their
performance under fire in some
of the worst battles of the war
thus far.
The P-39 Aircobra is the only
single engine fighter in the world
armed with a 37mm cannon. In
addition to this weapon the plane
also carries heavy and light ma­chine
guns. It was designed to
operate out of small fields, as a
destroyer of heavily armed bomb­ers
and as an attacker of ground
forces.
It has been in successful com­bat
as high as 30,000 feet, and
during the month of August alone
this plane destroyed 19 enemy
planes with a loss of only four of
its kind. Their record with the
Japanese Zero is better than four-

The Army's P-51 Mustang

Latest Allied Threat
The Army's newest threat to
the Axis' bid for air supremacy
is the huge and powerful Thun­derbolt,
better known to some as
the P-47. No foreign fighter in the
service has an engine as power­ful
as its 2,000 h. p., 18 cylinder,
air-cooled, radial motor, that dri­ves
this seven-ton devastator.
These motors are-now toeing- pro­duced
in mass quantities by a for­mer
automobile manufacturer.
Though deeply veiled in mili­tary
secrecy, a few facts have be­come
known about it and its per­formance.
All of these indicate
that its speed and altitude range,
plus its extra fire power can hard­ly
be matched by anything the
axis can or has produced.
The first Thunderbolt was or­dered
on September 6, 1940 and
the first one flew exactly eight
months later. Subsequent designs
have already made several im­provements
over the first one.

Sinkwich, Davis,
Trippi, and McPhee
Make up Backfield
A well deserved name of
"dream team" has been bestow­ed
upon this year's edition of the
Georgia Bulldogs. Led by All-
American Frank Sinkwich, the
Georgians have conquered all op­position,
their schedule including
such teams as Tulane, Alabama
and Florida.
From Pasadena comes news
that the gates will be open for
Georgia should she finish her
schedule in the same manner she
has used all season.
Captain Sinkwich has 15 touch­downs
to date and has amassed
a total of 90 points to take the
lead in the Southeastern Confer­ence
scoring race. Allied with
"Flatfoot Frankie" are Charlie
Trippi and Lamar Davis, who in­cidentally,
are tied for third place
in the SEC scoring parade with 36
points each. In the blocking spot
Dick McPhee packs a terrific wal­lop
and his defense work has been
instrumental in all the Bulldogs'
victories.
Coach Wally Butts gives the
responsibility of extra points to
the trusty toe of one Leo Costa
who has done a bang-up job this
year. Costa is classed by Georgia
line coach J. B. Whitworth as a
"place kicking expert".
Ken Keuper, first string block­ing
back, has fully recovered from
the leg injury which kept him out
of the Chattanooga contest and
will be ready to shoot the works
against Auburn Saturday.
Coach Wally Butts has revised
his backfield and it now has Sink­wich,
Trippi, McPhee, and Davis
in the starting positions. Geor­gians
attack may have to be such
that they use every possible meth­od
to stop the Auburn Tigers who
will be out to win.
All-American Frankie Sink­wich
has become a serious threat
to the all time record by Bud
Schwench of 1,928 yards gained
in one season.
Sinkwich has gained a total of
1,815 yards—1,123 through the air
and 692 yards rushing and is now
only 113 yards shy of the all-time
record. Most of Sinkwich's pass­es
have been taken by Lamar
Davis who has been recognized
as one of the outstanding pass re­ceivers
in the South.
Coach Butts has made no pre­diction
as to. the outcome of the
game which will be star studded,
but he reminds his boys that Au­burn
will be plenty tough.
His one comment was: "Last
year we pushed Auburn all over
the field—in the last two sec­onds".
Auburn and Georgia
Renew Old Rivalry
In Columbus Tomorrow
Originating way back in 1892,
the Auburn-Georgia series has
been one of the closest in gridiron
history. This, the fiftieth anniver­sary
game, promises to be another
hard fought contest with "All-
American" Frankie Sinkwich put­ting
his running and passing a-bilities
against the all-around
football brilliance of Monk Gaf­ford.
During the fifty year period of
Auburn-Georgia rivalry, only four
years have been without games.
No contests were scheduled in
1895, 1897, 1917, and 1918. Geor­gia
holds the slim margin of one
victory in the competition, hav­ing
won 21 times. Auburn has
been the .victor in 20 contests,
with five games ending in ties.
Our Tigers are polishing their
claws for the Georgia Bulldogs,
but there will be no illegal
scratching when the kickoff sig­nals
the beginning of the epic
contest. For these two teams have
always played the game hard but
clean. It's going to be a great
game!

Auburn's 1942 cross-country team, made up of a seven-man
squad, will engage Georgia Tech's cross-country team
this afternoon at 3 P. M. on the Auburn course. This meet
is the first of the season for the Tiger tracksters. The thinly-clads

Outstanding Ball
In Charity Game
The Fraternity Champion SPE
team scored another triumph
Wednesday afternoon as they took
the Fraternity all-star team, un­der
the tutorage of Pat Brinson,
to the tune of 14-7.
The SPEs gained a lead of two
touchdowns in the first half be­fore
the all-stars could get out of
their own territory, and, although
they did not continue this pace
in the second half, the margin was
good enough to win.
As the second quarter began,
Walch of the all-stars punted to
the SPE 40. There Rains took over
the passing duties and tossed two
nice ones to Jerry Bodden for 15
and 13 yards. A pass from Rains
to Scruggs was good for the re­maining
12 yards and the SPEs
took the lead. The extra point was
annexed as Curlee threw to
Scruggs.
Coming back in short order,
the SPEs tallied another six-pointer
in the same period. This
drive started as they took posses­sion
of the ball on the 45 after
Walch had punted from his own
territory. Curlee started flinging
short passes to Scruggs, Rains,

that this one might be the only

lost 8 on a run and then 15 on a
penalty and the ball was moved
back to the 33. Rains then got
clear and Curlee tossed a beauti­ful
pass which was run over for
the score. Curlee passed to Cribb
for the extra point.
Just at the conclusion of the
second period, the SPEs almost
added another touchdown as
Rains ran 95 yards around left
end, but the play was called back
on a penalty.
All-Stars Come To Life
The all-stars came to life in
the second half and almost pulled
the game out of the fire. Using
Fain and Walch as the axis, the
all-star wheels began to roll.
Walch tossed to Fain, Fain to
Walch, and both Fain and Walch
tossed to several other players
moving the ball down to the SPE
2 yard line. Fain tossed to Walch
for the touchdown. Fain added
the extra point on a beautiful
kick from placement.
Both teams threatened several
other times, with neither being
able to score. Once the SPEs had
the ball on their own 20. Curlee
threw a perfect pass to Scruggs
on the 40. However, Scruggs who
had been playing beautiful ball
all afternoon, dropped it. The
game was always exciting be­cause
any one of several long
passes thrown could have tied it
up, but, as it happened, they fell
incomplete. \

"Georgia-a-a-! Georgia-a-a-a! I've got Georgia on my
mind." That's the»song we're all singing now, but after Sat­urday
we'll be singing a new song, we hope.
At any rate the Plainsmen have served an official note
of warning to those Georgia Bulldogs that we're not as easy
to handle as some had thought. LSU expected only a fair
game from "our warriors" yet they found themselves on the
tail-end of the score when the final whistle blew.
Surprise? You guess! Auburn was superior in every field
of play except passing, and that was because they only at­tempted
four passes, and two of these were completed—one
for 24 yards that saw Monk Gafford pitching to Billy Barton.
The entire game was dominated by the Plainsmen, led
by All-American Monk Gafford. The swivel-hipped 175 pound
youth who hails from Fort Deposit is making a strong bid for
All-American honors since the defeat of LSU. Monk was a
ball hawk the whole afternoon. Not only did this boy gain
155 yards by rushing on ten plays for an average of 15 yards
per try, but the "little demon of the gridiron" returned punts
and intercepted passes as if he had glue on his fingers and
grease on his hips. All afternoon Monk tore, slung, and liter­ally
threw LSU players off him when he circled those ends
and sliced off tackle. The LSU flankmen were battered and
bruised on nearly every play that they made an effort to
stop the Ft. Deposit flash.
"All-American" Monk Gafford *
As a sort of a stimulant or an appraisal, the Birmingham
Post ran a huge picture of Monk in the Saturday edition
which reached the field just before game time with these
words written above, "All-American Gafford!" The Auburn
left half certainly didn't let them down in their high esteem
of his ability, because he proved to every one of those 8,000
fans, as well as to the radio audience, that he is a real All-
American.
This isn't the first game that has caused rival coaches to
commend Gafford for his excellent showing. He's been made
a hero in the hearts of all loyal Auburn supporters as well as
those who have witnessed his race-horse tactics. Even in de­feat,
Gafford has always been the man of the hour.
If you'll just let your imagination run wild for a moment,
then you can see Head Coach Bernie Moore of LSU gnashing
his teeth, tearing his hair, and otherwise giving, the appear­ance
of a mad bull as Gafford strolled by the LSU players'
bench on his 59 yard touchdown run.
It was a masterpiece to behold. Monk took the ball straight
from center and started as though he were going over his
own right tackle; but much to the amazement of everyone,
including the LSU team, Monk suddenly reversed his field
and ran down the other sideline, right in front of the LSU
"bench. He-'had magnificent blocking all-the-way, with Zac
Jenkins taking out the last possible would-be tackier.
