chance of graduating with his
class. Generally a student's class
is the class with which he en­tered.
If a student drops out a
whole semester or longer he is
classified as a member of the
class with which he re-enters.
An irregular student who is
working his way through the col­lege
and who is eligible for a
loan according to the above re­quirements
may borrow the same
as regular students, provided
that he has a satisfactory aver­age
in all his work. Such a stu­dent
is regarded as spreading his
undergraduate work over five
years.
Anyone who is interested in
securing funds from the Scott
Fund should contact a member of
the controlling board. Dean Ro­ger
Allen is chairman of this
board. Other members are Doctor
J. W. Scott, Professor C. P. Au­stin,
and Professor T. P. Atkinson.

New Safety Regulations
Set up for Campaign Here
Due to the fact that both auto and pedestrian' traffic has
become a serious problem, Mr. Sam Brewster, director of
Auburn's Buildings and Grounds Department, is heading a
Safety Campaign designed to prevent casualties.
According to Mr. Brewster, several students have already
been hit recently, the main reason being careless or fast
driving in congested areas. "Many of the students have cars,"
he says, "but since there are so many more who do not, we
are going to have to favor the lat­ter
group by slowing the autoists
down."
The numbers that are to be
seen in the various streets around
the campus are the maximum
speed limit and autoists will have
to adhere voluntarily to these re­quirements
or more drastic mea­sures
will have to be used to en­force
them.
The speed limit on Mell Street
and Thach Avenue is 20 miles
per hour and on various other
short streets around the main
campus the limit is 15 miles per
hour.
A one-way drive is going to be
made of the street beginning at
Five Points and going out to­ward
Graves Center in front of
the AAA Building. Cars will keep
to the right and the left will be
reserved for pedestrians, especial­ly
the Navy boys.
The road down in the Circle of j
Graves Center Cottages toward
the military stables will be closed
to auto traffic altogether.
"This program," says Mr. Brew­ster,
"is primarily for the safety
of the students and we would like
their cooperation in carrying it
out. Both faculty and students
have been guilty of speeding on
the streets and it must be
stopped."

group in numerous popular songs.
Since this weeks Sing had been
designated as Sailor's Night, the
naval contingent located here was
the guest of honor for the even­ing.
As the program opened, the
sailors filed in and took their
seats to the tune of their pop­ular
battle song, "Anchors
Aweigh."
As the evening progressed the
audience joined in heartily on
such old favorites as: "Auld

Song," "School Days," "When
the Moon Comes Over the Moun­tain,"
"Put on Your Old Gray
Bonnet," "Harvest Moon," and
"The Band Played On." This year
Mr. Stookey again is using his
projection machine to flash spe-tlie

song on the huge screen set up
in front of the bleachers. Next
week several short films will be
shown to enliven the program
even more.
One of the most amusing ver­ses
of the evening was a comical
parody on the old villian, Hitler,
sung to the tune of "A Jolly Gpod
Fellow". Several recent tunes
as "Remember Pearl Harbor,"
"The White Cliffs of Dover," and
"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree"
were well received. The Sing was
brought to a close with a verse of
our National anthem, "The Star
Spangled Banner."

Of Welcome
By KATE NUNGESTER
The first Women's Convocation
of the Summer Quarter was held
at 7:30 Wednesday evening in
Langdon Hall. Dean Spidle, Dean
of Women at API, presided, wel­coming
the old and new students
to the campus.
Dr. Cowart of the Methodist
Church led the group in a brief
devotional.
Dean Spidle then presented Dr.
Duncan, President of API, to com­plete
the welcoming of new stu­dents.
Dr. Duncan said that it
was, "fine to have women at Au­burn,
delightful to have so many
women students choose Auburn
as their college." He drew a brief
historical sketch of the history
of Auburn as a Co-ed institu­tion,
stressing the fact that Au­burn
was one of the first male
colleges to recognize the advis­ability
of admitting women to
college. 1892 was the first year
that women attended Auburn and
three of those graduating in 1894
are still living. Dr. Duncan em­phasized
that the "speeded up
process of education is not only
for the men but for women be­cause
women are coming more
and more to have a vital inter­est
in war work." Dr. Duncan in­vited
the women students to call
upon him for any assistance they
might need.

to see these caps turn gray with

What Do You Think
By DAVID ALLEN
• (Editor's Note: Previously the editorial pages of the Plainsman
have spoken to the students, have passed on to them the thoughts
and ideas of the various staff members. This year it will continue to
do that, but it also will present to the majority of the students the
ideas and thoughts of several students, different persons each time.
This will give the readers more variety and a better coverage of the
student body. A new question will be discussed each week. These
will be timely questions pertaining to the students and student life.)
Among the students on our campus is a group of fellows
with a more rigorous schedule than the majority of us. Won­dering
what the attitude of these boys in the U. S. Navy was
toward our school and town, we proceeded to try to find out.
Weitig, A. L, Kansas City, Mo.
A. L. was cornered right after a class. After he discovered
what was wanted, he was very helpful, giving freely of his
pros and cons.
"These are the nicest people I have ever been around, and
I have met and lived with quite a number. I'll admit that it
is a small town,' and we have been rather confined during our
stay here, but its fine! The people are friendly and the instruc­tors
are on the ball."
Hughes, J. A., Orlando, Fla.
We discovered J. A. peacefully reclining on the old lathe,
seemingly busy with a book. But, even with the quiz coming
tomorrow, he wasn't too busy to talk. He, too, came to our cam­pus
with the first group of fellows.
"I think we came at a time when the life on the campus
was at low tide, but things seem to be picking up. I imagine
that fall is the ideal time to hit this campus.
"The people are as friendly as a person could want them
to be and the campus is nice. I don't have a thing to air out
or talk against."
And so, we left J. A. seemingly engrossed in a study of the
intricacies of radio.
Ford, H. W., Charleston, S. C.
Ford also was cornered after a class. He came to Auburn
with the second group of bluejackets, but it seems that he had
advanced so rapidly that he has been stepped up into the
class of the first group that came here. (All this is from the
fellow sailor who was along.)
"It is a small town, but it is a beautiful spot. I have been
here just a little over three months, but I have enjoyed it all.
The people are so nice and friendly that you feel at home very
quickly."
Convey, E. L, Radford, Virginia
"I've been here almost four months, and I can say that the
place is all right! The people are friendly and the girls are
okay, even though a bit different from the ones that I have
been used to.
"The school and students are lots different from the ones
that I have been around before, and I think its all to the good.
"No, I can't think of any thing that I want to speak against.
Things suit me pretty much as they are. I would like to know
one thing. Don't you do anything to the freshmen other than
make them wear those bright orange rat caps? No hair-cutting
'or something?
"I was at the training base in Norfolk just six weeks, but
I had my hair taken off three times. And I don't mean just
clipped, either. They did a good job once they got started."
(In order not to leave a false impression we proceeded to
explain that although the upperclassmen left the rats their
hair, they took off accordingly in other places. Ed)
Aydelotte, J. J., Dayton, Ohio
"I've been on several campuses, and went to the University
of Dayton for a year, but this is undoubtedly the friendliest
place that I have seen. It hit that spot. I suppose that one
reason I like it so well is because it keeps up its sports activi­ties.
A college that does that is usually okey.
"Will there be any big bands coming soon? Yes, I do like
your Knights. The first that I heard of them was on the cam­pus
of Dayton U. Glenn Miller was comparing them and
the Oxford Owls of Ohio. Both of them are plenty good.
"The instructors here seem especially on the better side,
but the more you do, the more they want. That's a vicious
circle." '
He, too, wanted to hear the tale of the orange caps and
asked about the curly locks still under so many of them.
"Treat 'em rough and they'll do better."

Editor'* note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
We are glad to see people in
Auburn again. The dear old
school was looking as empty as
an outdoor swimming pool in
mid-winter. Last week we met
two spooks who thought this was
a ghost town and were looking
for rooms in Samford Hall.
We suggested

that they try
The campus looks good with
freshmen scattered about over the
landscape. And judging from the
number of senior wolves on the
prowl, not only the campus is
looking.
* * *
We really get our kicks out of
the new crop of sophomores. We
like the way they stroll carelessly
through the main gate and the
way they ask for matches. And
when someone else yells, "Hey
Rat!" we like the way they jump.
* * *
This War Time has us confused.
We sometimes wonder if we
aren't in the land of the mid­night
sun. We had a date last
night (That editorial "we" gets
one in a spot like that. It really
wasn't a double date with one
girl.) and said we'd be around
about dark. When we got there
she couldn't even see us—it was
after hours.
* * *
We would like to suggest a
new degree, B. C, or Bachelor of
College. It would signify only
~t that the holder has a college edu­cation.
We can think of a num­ber
of candidates for such a de­gree.
* • •
There is, for example, the son
of rich parents who fells that he
ought to have an education, but
who doesn't have interest enough
to really study anything. What's
a course for him? After four
years of campus lab he should
be entitled to a B. C. degree.
* « *
Then there are those who sub­stitute
courses until the original
is lost forever. "I'll just take con­temporary
economic trends in­stead
of applied mechanics and
Portugese instead of organic
chemistry. It won't make any dif-fence."
What kind of degree does
that lead toward? Give him a B.
C. after four years.
* • *
What about the girl who comes
to college to find a husband?
She'd feel awfully silly with a
degree as Bachelor of Matri­mony,
but why not let her have
a B. C. degree?
* * •
We have students in ROTC
who plan to get their commssions
and stay in the army from now
on. Should they have restrictions
as to what courses they should
take in order to receive a degree?
They have a college education.
Why not let one be 2nd Lieuten­ant

While we're having ideas, we'd
like to mention two plots we
dreamed up for stories. The first
deals with a death that is clear­ly
a murder and to which the mur­derer
has confessed. Our heroine,
however, is not easily fooled and
proceeds to investigate the case.
After an interesting, but danger­ous,
search she is. able to prove
that the death was really an ac­cident,
and the murder was
thinking about some other case
when he confessed!

Our other plot concerns a prin­cess
who, while traveling in­cognito,
falls in love with a hand­some
prince. After they are mar­ried
she discloses that she is a
princess, but admits that she is
thrilled at the thought of the
supposed marriage between clas­ses.
Only then does she learn that
he is really a peasant, disguised
as a prince in order to avoid his
landlord, who has come for the
rent.

After that, we feel that we must
make way for Phil, the Philching
Poet:
Old Mother Hubbard went to
the cupboard
To get her poor daughter a
dress.
When she got there, the cup­board
was bare,
And so was the daughter, I
guess.

Student Leaders Are Your Friends
There will be a lot of people to meet
in the first few days on Auburn's campus.
Some of them you have already met and
others you will be introduced to later.
There is one group of students on the
campus that freshman have never become
well acquainted with unless they did so
in the sanctuary of a dormitory or fra­ternity.
These are the student leaders on
the campus. You can see some of their pic­tures
in The Auburn Plainsman now and
others will appear in it in future editions.
You will have an opportunity to meet
these students tonight at the Graves Cen­ter
Amphitheater. But, there is more to it
than just meeting them. These students
were elected or appointed this spring by
the students with the approval of one of
several Qualifications Boards. They were
approved because they had what it takes
to meet the students and help them in
their problems and try to find solutions for
the freshmen.
All of these students have been your
friends especially during Orientation
Week, but their friendship and interest in
you will not terminate when this week
ends. You should feel free to go to them
at all times and ask their advice about any­thing
that is bothering you or giving you
trouble.
The best men on this campus will be
those who are willing to stop and help you
any time you come to them. They will
never be to busy to stop and talk with you
in a friendly manner and try their best to
give what help they can—most of it from
their own three years experience.
You may not think that you will have
to go to them. You may think that you
know enough or will know enough after
three days of tests, tours, convocations,
and so forth. But, there will come times
when you will feel as if you must talk to
some one about your problems. These stu­dents
will be here all of the time. They will
be glad to help you—if you will let them.
Go to them. Talk to them. If you need a
friend try them. You will not find a group
of more willing student leaders.
Students . . Keep This Campus Beautiful
Weekly Views
By LEON MARSH
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies ot this paper.
Defense Plants
This State is still getting its
share of plants and training cen­ters
as a result of its strategic
location and as the reseult of the
able efforts of the Alabama dele­gation
in Congress. We have
plants and training centers lo­cated
all the way from Mobile to
Listerhill. The latest addition
comes with the announcement of
the plan for the construction of a
$30,000,000 chemical warfare cen­ter
near Gadsden. It will cover
a 35,000 acre tract and will be
equipped to train 30,000 men.
Holiday for Congress
Alabama's Senator John H.
Bankhead says "it is the duty of
Congress to take a holiday, so
that the members can stir around
with the home folks and learn
more fully their views." Should
Congress take a holiday? It has
been on the job for a long tme
now and has not taken time to go
home. Perhaps it would be pro­fitable
if Congress took a few
days off and went home, because
its members need to know the
ideas and views of the people on
the home front. Its members
need to know more accurately
how they stand in the public
eye.
Perhaps laudatory words by
the "Good citizens" would be good
for them; and critical words
would be more beneficial to those
whose representation has not been
ts best. Furthermore, it is be­lieved
by some congressmen that
the war congress is likely to be
weakened as a result of the de­feat
of some of its members who
have not taken time for exten­sive
campaigns. For instance:
Luther Patrick from Birmingham
who was recently defeated in
the June primary for re-nomina­tion,
attributed his defeat to pur­suing
congressional business and
lack of time for campaigning. He
further states that it is the duty
of other defeated Congressmen to
campaign for their fellow mem­bers.
Soldiers Pay
By the action of the Senate
Tuesday the pay of men in the
armed forces will reach the min­imum
of $50.00 monthly. The bill
calls for increases of First Class
Privates and corresponding naval
ratings to the minimum of $54.00,
all effective as of June 1. Our
soldiers and sailors have been
expecting this increase in their
salaries, and we think they are
worthy of such an increase and
deserve it.
Congress has also assured de­pendents
of army and navy men
that their financial needs shall
be taken care of. The dependents
allowance bill for class "A" de­pendents
calls for a $22.00 de­duction
from a service man's pay;
and $28.00 would be added to
this amount for a wife, $12.00
for the first child and $10.00 for
every additional child. The bill
affects only dependents of men
who have a rank up to an in­cluding
Line Sergeants in the
army and Third Class Petty Of­ficers
in the Navy.
Atlantic Shipping Lanes
One need not be a military or
naval authority to realize that
our shipping losses in the Atlantic
constitute this country's No. 1
problem at present. The latest
figures show that a toll of 255 al­lied
and neutral ships have been
victims of submarines since De­cember
7. Such a toll of unre­mitting
sinkings makes it impera­tive
that this problem be solved
as soon as possible. A majority of
these ships have been sunk along
the coast and on the supply routes
to Britain iand Russia. Lately
prowling subs in the Gulf and
Carribean have been preying up­on
our merchant vessels. The
Navy Department says that these
U-boats shall be dealt with sever-ly
and to a considerably extent.
"This country conquered the sub­marine
menace in the last World
War and we have implicit con­fidence
that it can be done."
There was many a long year of patient
waiting before Auburn students were giv­en
a beautiful and attractive campus. In
fact, it was not until last year that the
new and energetic head of the Buildings
and Grounds Department, Mr. Sam Brew­ster,
succeeded in accomplishing what had
been badly needed but what had not been
done before in the entire history of the
college. That was the planting and culti­vation
of a lawn of which all of us could
be proud.
It was not long after this that Mr. Brew­ster's
Department set out neafly 2,000
shrubs and flowers of over two dozen var­ieties.
These plants were placed at ad­vantageous
points about the campus and
were guarded from possible injury by the
erection of protective barriers.
In addition to this precaution, new as­phalt
walks were laid out at convenient lo­cation.
This should have encouraged stu-ings.;
This should have encouraged stu­dents
to stay off the newly-planted grass
and shrubbery—and it did for a while.
But, at the end of last semester and the
beginning of this quarter, many Auburn-ites
apparently had forgotten the years of
student agitation for campus improve­ments.
Grass has been trampled to the
ground and healthy bushes have been dam­aged
by careless steps.
There is an easy way to preserve the
fine lawn and shrubbery which we have at
the present time. That way is by using
only the walks which have been con­structed
on the grounds for our conven­ience
and by not cutting walk corners in
haste to reach a class at ten minutes after
the hour. It is only in this manner that a
nullification of the gains which have al­ready
been made in campus improvement
and beautification can be prevented. B.T.
First of School is Most Important
Freshmen are told so much during the
first part of their college career that they
usually forget most of it only to pick it
up later on in college. But, there is one
thing that cannot be stressed too much—
that of getting the most out of college,
classes, and your professors right at the
beginning of your freshman year.
In anything that is attempted, getting
off to the right start is important. The
Freshman Orientation Period was designed
to give freshmen that needed knowledge
that would put them off on the right foot.
In past years freshmen were handicapped
because they did not know enough or any­thing
about the campus and its authorities
until several weeks after school had start­ed.
Now freshmen have an opportunity
to know this campus well before ever
having to venture forth alone in search
of some building or personality.
But, there is one more thing that the
orientation period did not cover—studying
hard and learning lots out of books and
from the professor right at the beginning
of the quarter. Your freshman year will
be important but the beginning of this year
will be more important. Right now is the
time when you will be getting a base of
your whole college work. And if this base
is not sitting on a firm foundation then it
will sink also.
Our word to you, and we hope you take
heed, is that you pay strict attention to
your professor and what he has to say the
first few weeks. If you live close by in
towns like Montgomery or cities with sim­ilar
locations, forget about going home
until later on in the quarter. You will have
plenty of time to go home later, but you
will not and do not have plenty of time
to study and get this much needed edu­cation.
Get the most out of school. Your pro­fessors
will help you, if you will help
yourself first.
Help Those Who Help You
Many times in the next year you will
be asked to buy and patronize almost ev­erything
from war bonds to lottery tickets.
But, whether or not you subscribe to these
things is up to you. You will benefit or
take the consequences for your own per­sonal
actions.
There is one thing, however, that we,
acting as The Auburn Plainsman, would
like to ask each of you to do. That is, pa­tronize
the advertisers who place their ads
on the pages of your paper.
These advertisers have something to sell
and in quite a few instances at cheaper
prices than you can find elsewhere. They
help support your paper and your town,
so you can return their generosity by buy­ing
from them and visiting their stores
frequently.

DEAN SPIDLE AND HER STAFF
DIRECT WOMEN STUDENTS
"Quadrangle To Be
As Much Like Home
As Possible"
Mrs. Marion W. Spidle, former
head of the School of Home Eco-
\ nomics, has been serving, since
June 1, as Auburn's new dean
of women and social director.
In addition to her new positions,
Mrs. Spidle will continue her
duties as head of the Home Eco­nomics
School during the sum­mer
quarter.
Dean Spidle attended high
school in Rutherford, New Jer­sey.
After receiving a bachelor
of science degree at Alabama Col­lege
she completed her graduate
work at Columbia University, be­ing
awarded a master of arts
degree in home economics at this
school.
For several years, before com­ing
to API, Dean Spidle served as
home demonstration agent in Jef­ferson
and Limestone Counties.
According to an announcement
made today by the new dean,
present registration of women
students is exceeding all expec­tations
and offers great prospect
for a summer quarter which will
be almost normal. Present figures
concerning enrollment, although
too incomplete for release at pre­sent,
seem to indicate that the
fall quarter will probably find
the largest registration of wom­en
students in the history of the
school.
Dormitory II, accommodating
112 women, and Dormitories III
and IV, each accommodating 100
women, have already been filled.
The first floor of Dormitory I will
serve during the summer session
as Graduate Hall. Girls who are
attending the state band camp
are being housed on the third
floor. There is room for 80 women
in this dormitory.
Dean Spidle stated that she
planned to make the Quadrangle
as homelike as possible. Only in
this way, she said, could the worn-
HELPS STUDENTS
Miss, MfimoN n>. SPIDLE
en who reside in the halls be en­couraged
to do the best type of
scholastic work while at Auburn.
Because of the necessity of
Saturday quizes under the new
quarter system Friday evenings
will be considered exactly as
would all other school nights.
Any restrictions which have ap­plied
to other week nights will
be in force for Friday nights.
No sorority activities will be
allowed during the summer
quarter. Freshman women who
have entered Auburn this June
may not be rushed until the be­ginning
of the fall quarter. How­ever,
women not in school this
quarter may be contacted at home
by letter or personal visit.
Ty Irby, fullback and halfback,
will be a virtual jack-of-all
trades this coming year when
the Auburn football team begins
its season. He will fill many of
the positions formerly held by
capable teammates.

Less Than Half of Nation's 1942
Graduates Trained for War Work
According to an announcement
made by Dr. C. S. Marsh, vice-president
of the American Council
on Education, more than one-half
of t h e 1942 graduates of
American colleges and universi-
State Officers
Of FFA Named
At Convention
Dan Easterling, student of Bar­bour
County High School, won
first place in the public speak­ing
contest at the 13 annual FFA
Convention here last week. He
was also elected 1942-43 presi­dent
of the state organization.
Easterlings topic was "Agricul­ture
and the War Effort." He
will represent Alabama in the tri-state
contest here in the summer.
Hilton Register, Slocomb, was
elected vice-president of the state
FFA, John Eddins of Frisco City
was elected treasurer, Revis Hall,
Gordon, was elected secretary,
and Hudson Calfee of Isabella
was elected reporter.
Beauregard, Gaylesville, and Is­abella
ranked first, second, and
third respectively, in the accomp­lishment
of individual club goals.
R. E. Cammack, Montgomery,
was reelected state advisor and
A. L. Morrison, Auburn, was re­elected
assistant advisor. Cam-mack
was absent 'for the first
time since he organized the FFA
in Alabama 13 years ago. He was
out of the state for the war pro­gram.
The victory program for the 206
Alabama chapters for the coming
year includes increased produc­tion
of food, repair of farm equip­ment,
conservation of vital mate­rials,
aiding in the relief of the
farm labor shortage, morale
building and war bond and stamp
purchases.
RULES GOVERNING
POOL RELEASED
The Intramural Department
has released the following rules
to govern the students who wish
to use the swimming pool in
Alumni Gymnasium:
1. You use the pool at your
own risk.
2. All individuals must take a
soap shower before entering the
pool.
3. No smoking in or around the
pool.
4. Please do not run in the
swimming pool room.
5. Use only the diving board
for diving.
6. All swimmers must wear a
bathing cap.
7. Expectorate in the overflow
channel.
8. Street shoes are prohibited
around the pool.
ties are not trained for work that
will be most essential to the war
effort. Dr. Marsh recently con­ducted
a survey of more than 1,-
000 colleges and universities and
other institutions of higher learn­ing
in an effort to establish how
many professionally trained
young men and women the insti­tutions
could release during the
year.
The greatest shortages are in
the fields of engineering, the phy­sical
sciences, and medicine and
its related fields. Social science,
art, language, agricultural and
biology graduates will not find
their field as crowded as those
mentioned above.
Men Outnumber Women
The survey found that some
145,187 undergraduates with
training in the above occupational
fields will be graduated by Jan­uary,
1943, but that less than half
of these will be in the fields in
which shortages now exist. Men
will outnumber the women grad­uates
almost two to one and in
some fields as much as 600 to 1
(engineering).
Dr. Marsh's survey found that
the highest percentage of grad­uates
in management and admin­istration
is in the South Atlantic
states; in agriculture and biology
in the West South Central states;
in medicine in the West North
Central states; in arts and lang-the
East North Central states, in
social sciences in the East South
Central states; in ars and lang­uages
in the Pacific states; and in
the clergy in the East South Cen­tral
states. He learned further
in his survey that enrollments
are dropping 8% to 25% and
faculty losses are quite heavy as
the Selective Service drafts con­tinue
to get larger as the needs
of industry and the armed forces
grow.
Increase Enrollment
Dr. Marsh has urged that all
institutions make all possible ef­forts
to increase their enrollment
and consequently their number
of graduates, especially in the
fields of shortage. "We know that
our most vital resource lie in
our ability to produce young men
and' women who are skilled in
those professions and occupations
necessary to the successful con­duct
of this war. Youth must
make this choice and enter those
professions where they will be
most needed. Especially it is im­portant
that women train in those
sciences which will enable them
to replace men as workers."

Something New Everyday
"Ain't" Ain't Wrong;
It's True American
The word "ain't" is American
and marks a distinct contribution
to the English language, says
Prof. E. C. Beck of Central
(Mich.) State Teachers College.
Dr. Beck insists it ain't too bad
to use "ain't", because the word
is being accepted by more and
more people. He believes it grad­ually
will come to be considered
correct usage.
"If the American people have
contributed anything to the Eng­lish
language," says Dr. Beck, "it
is the quality of terseness and
vividness represented by 'ain't'."
Dr. Beck believes the word de­veloped
in the days when pio­neers
spoke sparingly and con­stantly
sought short, simple
terms.
"And while man might not
speak sparingly today," he says,
"there nevertheless is still a
tendency to streamline language
by using 'ain't'."

The award is presented on the
basis of the student's scholastic
standing, his leadership activities
on the campus, and his promise
as an agricultural leader.
The purpose of the award is
two-fold. It gives to the out­standing
student selected addi­tional
study and training in nu­trition.
And it gives an oppor­tunity
to associate with the lead­ers
of other agricultural schools
in the atmosphere of the leader­ship
camp. The entire trip has
been planned. It will include a
month of supervised study, rec­reation
and all-around develop­ment.
In August Ralph, along with
the winners from the 36 other
A & M colleges over the nation
and in Canada, will go to St.
Louis for the initial two weeks
of the trip. There they will study,
from all angles, the complex mod­ern
business, using the Ralston
Purina Company as their model.
Every phase of making, market­ing,
and selling feed is explained
to the students.
Three or four days will be
spent at the modern experimental
station maintained by the com­pany
at Gray Summit, Missouri,
fifty miles from St. Louis.

school.
This church will be open and

CPTP Courses
Changed For
War Needs
The Civilian Pilot Training
Program is working in close co-^
ordination with the Army Air
Forces and Naval Air Corps train­ing
programs. CPTP, as offered
by colleges over the nation, will
give training of some form to
35,000 men who will complete
their flight training, as Naval
Cadets.
Because of the backlog of can­didates
for naval air training,
there is usually an interim of 60
to 90 days between enlistment
and call to flight duty at one of
the training stations. The Navy
is urging that those signing for
flight training go on to or re­main
in college and, especially, to
apply for the CPTP training. In
that wa3', valuable hours are not
wasted and knowledge and ex­perience
are gained.
Both the flight and ground cur­riculum
of the CPTP here have
been revised. These are now par­allel
to the courses given by the
Army and Navy to cadets after
they report for duty. All of these
courses now meet both Army and
Navy standards.
Civilian Pilot Training enrol-lees
have two choices as to their
future use to their country. They
may go on active duty, flight
training in one of the many serv­ice
schools, or they may continue
in the CPTP. Those following
the latter course will continue in
the program until they have com­pleted
it. At that time they will
hold an instructor's rating, and
will be qualified to serve as in­structors
in the CPTP program
or in one of the Army contract
training schools. The entire Civil­ian
Pilot Training Program is de­voted
to the war effort.
Students in college, regardless
of their course of study, are elig­ible
for CPTP. Those students
enrolled in CPTP are being de­ferred
under selective service un­til
they complete the CPTP.

The Gulf Coast Training
Center Has Graduation
Eight Auburn Men
In "Unusual" Class
By DAVID ALLEN
On May 20 the mid-continent-spanning
Gulf Coast Air Force
Training Center took on the teem­ing
turbulence of an ant hill.
Class 42-E of fighter-flyers re­ceived
war-wings at seven dif­ferent
pilot schools and prepared
to stream forth to every con­tinent
under the sun.
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
contributed eight of the cadets
that won the coveted wings on
that date. These were:
Lieut. John M. Baker, Cross-ville,
Ala., who graduated from
API in 1932.
Lieut. Thomas L. Burson, Hal-eyville,
Ala., who attended API
from 1938 to 1941.
Lieut. Oscar U. Cook, Jr.,
Birmingham, Ala., who was in
school from '40 to '41.
Lieut. Lowery T. Faulk, Selma,
Ala., another who attended API
from 1931 to 1941.
Lieut. Craig L. Jackson, Birm­ingham,
Ala.
Lieut. McDaniel B. Jackson,
Charlotte, N. C, who received his
B. S. here in 1940.
Lieut. Lee E. Kilgo, Logan,
Ala., who finished API in 1941.
Lieut. Laula M. Miffleton, Ev­ergreen,
Ala., who graduated in
1939.
Unusual was the name of this
class, which represents every state
in the union. It was the largest
in history and was the last to
wear the traditional Cadet blue
garb.
One of Class 42-E's significant
names was Lieut. U. S. "Offense"
Bond, of Wentworth, S. D., who
skyrocketed to fame through the
remarkable coincidence of his

Closely following upon the
heels of the pilots was a record-smashing
class of bombardiers,
the "Hell from Heaven Men," and
navigators. Only the difference
in class schedules prevented all
three groups from finishing to­gether.
According to custom, wings
were pinned on finished fledg­lings
and simultaneously mailed

42-E", the mothers and girl
friends of the ex-cadets back

Girls Can Now
Obtain Wings As
Air Stewardesses
By KATE NUNGESTER
Give a sigh of relief, girls. No
longer do you have to be a regis­tered
pulse-taker to don the
snappy uniform of a airline ste­wardess.
The ban has been lifted
and now the requirements cen­ter
around your perfect size 14
figure.
The reason for this change is
the lack of trained nurses in the
direct line of defense work, both
in civilian and army life. Don F.
Magarrell, director of passenger
service for United Air Lines, gave
some good tips on how our cam­pus
lovelies can gain their wings.
"Study hard, girls—especially
such subjects as speech, English,
hygiene, physiology, sociology and
home economics. We'll require at
least two years of college or uni­versity
training, but we're mak­ing
no change as to physical
specifications which call for ap­plicants
to be between 5 feet 2
and 5 feet 5 inches tall, not over
120 pounds in weight and between
21 and 25 years of age."
It would be worth any girl's
time to major in Magarrell's
specifications. If you don't land
the job as one of United Air
Lines stewardesses, you're bound
to land a husband, even in these
perilous times. Our only bit of
1941 GRADUATE IS
ENSIGN IN U. S.
NAVAL RESERVE
George Maxwell, Auburn grad­uate
of 1941, recently received
his wings as an Ensign in the
United States Naval Reserve and
has been ordered to active duty
with the Navy. This announce­ment
comes from the Naval Avia­tion
Cadet Selection Board in At­lanta.
Maxwell graduated from API
with a commission in the Corps
of Engineers but resigned his
commission to fly for the Navy.
He was enrolled in both the
primary and secondary schools of
the Civilian Pilot Training Pro­gram
while here.
He began his course of instruc­tion
and was transferred to Miami
on September 4, 1941, for ad­vanced
training.
advice to those who would like
one of these profitable and in­teresting
jobs . . . keep a brick on
your head and take your Physi­cal
Education in large doses, with
small helpings of potatoes on the
side.
United Air Lines has eliminated
the previous requirement of a
registered nurse's certificate be­cause
of the war-time need for
nurses. All nurses graduating at
the present time are being in­ducted
into the Service with the
rank of a second lieutenant which
leaves United Air Lines with
no replacement source.
Classes for co-eds will be start­ed
shortly at United's School for
stewardesses in Chicago as the
company begins obtaining addi­tions
and replacements for its
present staff of 225 stewardesses.

To help eliminate the shortage of trained labor in defense
industries, Auburn, in cooperation with the S t a t e Department
of Vocational Education, the National Youth Administration,
and the Civil Service, has already trained 1,500 non-college
men in skilled defense courses. Approximately 450 men are
enrolled at the present.
Prof. Dan T. Jones, of the, department of industrial arts
and shops at Auburn, is supervisor of the National Defense
Training Program.
The U. S. Office of Education
has authorized training agencies
to extend their training program
to the limit of present equipment
and facilities in four major oc­cupational
fields important to the
war effort. These four fields are:
machine tool operation, arc weld­ing
riveters, steetmetal workers,
aircraft mechanics.
Auburn is entering whole­heartedly
into the program to
train persons in these and other of
the fields in which there is an
acute shortage of skilled laborers.
A new group is scheduled to
begin classes on July 1.
To receive this training, ap­plicants
must be between the ages
of 17 and 25. The applicants must
be registered with the U. S. Em­ployment
Office. Classes last from
12 to 24 weeks, depending on the
program of the individual, with
the work being divided into the
"related training" phase and the
"work experience" phase.
During the period of training
each person in the Civil Service
division receives $75.00 per month,
and those in the NYA division
receive $30.00 per "month.
Jobs are not assured those who
complete training. Since training,
however, is geared to labor re­quirements
of defense contractors,
a large percentage of trainees
who successfully complete train­ing
are placed in suitable jobs.
Graduates are registered with the
U. S. Employment service.
The War Production Board de­termines
those occupations which
may be approved for vocational
training courses for defense work­ers.
In each state and in each lo­cal
community there are orga­nized
advisory councils and coun­cils
of administrators. These re­commend
the training needed
and the number to be trained.
Regional labor supply committees
determine the need for defense
workers on the regional levels.
After completion of the courses
many of the men are employed in
shipbuilding plants,- ordnance
plants, navy yards, aircraft plants,
foundries, and other plants en­gaged
in war production work.
NAVY BLUES
Shortly after this publication
reaches you we will have re­ceived
a new increment of re­cruits
which completes our com­plement
and reminds us that our
oldest men will be leaving as fast
as the new ones come. Many of
our oldest company have deve­loped
firm and sincere friend­ships
with local citizens and we
can ,be well assured that they will
not soon forget the kindness and
hospitality shown to them.
The proposed bill authorizing
enlistment of women in the U. S.
Navy brings to mind the fact that
women have so served before.
This bill will provde for women
as officers and enlisted sailorettes
During the last war women served
many of them capably and effi­ciently,
as yeomenettes. Women
were even carried on many Brit­ish
men-of-war until after the
beginning of the nineteenth cen­tury.
As a matter of fact, in the old
days, sailors were permitted to
keep their "wives" on board ship.
The children born alongside the
guns of the broadsides were some­times
referred to as "sons of a
gun". The old definition of a
man-o-war was "begotten in the
gallery and born under a gun,
every hair a rope yarn, every
tooth a marline spike, every fin­ger
a fish hook, and in his blood
right good Stockholm Tar."

WRITE LETTER TO
AUBURNITES
Dear Editor:
I believe it is the policy of the
Auburn Plainsman to make the
students feel at home when they
come to Auburn. I don't believe
the Civil Service Students have
been welcomed in any way what­soever.
I have not heard of any
dances, parties, or other social
entertainments given for them.
It looks to me like the college
students are not thinking of the
huge army of civilians that 'be­long
to one of the greatest mili­tary
organizations in the world—
the United States Army Air
Corps., Civil Service Division,
Mechanic Learners.
It would not be so bad not to
be thought of in any social enter­tainment,
but we would like to
be treated as humans, and not
as the lowest things you can think
of. I would suggest that you and
your paper try to do something
to bring about a change.
I hope it has not been more
than just an oversight of the stu­dents
for not welcoming their
fellow Americans who are fight-to
win this war.
Sincerely yours,

Former Auburn Man Has Unusual
Record at Allis-Chalmers
Jim White Becomes One of the Youngest
Corporation Executives in Country
We could call it a success story in three acts but that makes
it sound too simple. Perhaps this is really a Horatio Alger
story in disguise . . . we aren't saying. But we are saying that
its a mighty good story, and it's true.
In May of this year a man named Jim White was placed
in charge of all production at the eight huge plants which
Allis-Chalmers has scattered throughout the country. If you
don't know about Allis-Chalmers we could tell you that its
one of the largest companies
manufacturing machinery in the
world. Before the war it made
farm and milling machines but
has now been completely con­verted
to Ayar work.
Covington County Boy
Jim White was born at River
Palls, Covington County Ala­bama.
Jim was just born liking
to work. Even when he was a
kid he liked working around ma­chines.
When he was 14, the age
when most boys are playing base­ball
and collecting cigar bands,
Jim was working because he liked
to do it. He got his first job
from his father, but it wasn't
a soft one. Mr. White owned an
extensive lumber business and it
took hard work from every man
on the job. Jim was always on
hand after school and during
holidays, and when he graduated
from high school he had com­pleted
his apprenticeship as a
machinist.
So with his brother, H. P.,
which Jim says stands for "Horse-plow,"
he enrolled in Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, studying
mechanical engineering. That's
the point at which our hero en­ters
the sacred ground. Jim White
loved machinery and did the log­ical
thing . . . came to Auburn
to find out more.
Graduated in 1929
In the spring of 1929, when Jim
was a senior, L. S. Wiggin, then
employment manager for Allis,
appeared at Auburn to select can­didates
for the firm's graduate
training course. Jim hadn't lost
sight of his goal. He wanted to
work with machines, preferably
with Allis-Chalmers machines.
When Wiggins walked into the in­terviewing
room Jim walked up
to him. "I'm going to work for
Allis-Chalmers. I'm ready to go.
When do I start work?"
Wiggins must have recognized
an uncut gem. He hired Jim with­out
a question. But that wasn't the
end of it. Jim came back with:
"I've got a brother just as good
as I am." He was hired, too.
In July, 1929, Jim, his bride,
and "Horseplow" came to Mil­waukee,
where they knew no­body.
After a year "Horseplow"
left to join the Gulf Oil Co., but
Jim stayed on. Two years later,
when the required shop work was
over, he turned down the oppor­tunity
offered graduate students
to get into white collar work.
For three and one-half years more
Jim worked in the shops, working
every department, on both
the heavy and mass production
lines. He loved machinery and
he wasn't givng it up for even a
whte colar job. He says himself
that he was a glutton for trouble
jobs. That was the only way to
get experience". That's an API
man talking.
Big Chance in 1940
The hard, grueling work he
had done impressed the men who
were his bosses. In 1934 the com­pany
turned Jim's talents for
trouble shooting to other plants
and to erection work in the field.
A few months later—he must
have been only a little over 30
at the time—he was transferred
to La Porte, Indiana to the plant
there as manager. Production of
a new small combine and road
machinery was planned and Jim
given the job of converting the
factory to mass production. When
he left in January, 1941, to come
back to Milwaukee as works man­ager,
employment at La Porte
had jumped from the 400 he
started with, to 2000 and the plant
was known as the most efficient
in the Allis set up. See, we told
you it sounded like Horatio Al­ger,
but frankly we think it's
a lot better.
By now none of us are sur­prised
when he says he doesn't
go for paper work; that he likes
to spend most of his time out in
the factory where he can roll up
his sleeves and get his hands dir­ty
solving some knotty produc­tion
problems. He may do it at
7 in the morning, or at 10 at night,
for Jim—as everybody calls him—
doesn't work by the clock. He
starts at 7 in the morning and
works until 6 or 6:30. In addition,
he's likely to be looking around
the shop a couple of nights a
week, "because I love machinery."

Falls, Alabama, son of Mr. J. S.

White, the boy who came to Au­burn
to learn about machines, has
really hit the top of the pile. In
May when Jim White took over
the job of production for Allis-
Chalmers, these were his words:
"There will be no remote control
about this job. My office is open
to the men night and day. And
they don't have to wash their
faces or hands before coming to
see me."
And he graduated from Auburn
in 1929!

Engineers Will
Be Important
In War Effort
The colleges and universities
of the United States must supply
300,000 engineers and technicians
which will be badly needed in
our country's war effort during
the coming year.
Almost 2,000,000 qualified en­gineers
will be needed for war
production and government serv­ice
jobs by June, 1943. Accord­ing
to latest figures, there are
only 300,000 fully trained engi­neers
in the country; possibly an­other
1,000,000 have sufficient
training to act as technicians, in­spectors,
or draftsmen.
Since it seems almost impos­sible
that the colleges of the na­tion
will be able to meet all ac­tual
needs at the present time,
there are several other ways in
which they can help. The accele-r
a t e d program of graduation
(which is in force now at Au­burn)
is an important contribu­tion.
This will probaby make
available some 14,000 engineers
at least a month sooner.
Other college contributions
would be to bring back into ac-
CPTP COURSES
(Continued from Page 6)
Four courses are offered, each
of them taking approximately
three months. Thus, deferment
to remain in school for additional
twelve months is open to enrol-less
in CPTP. This is of special
interest to students nearing grad­uation
but who face the possibil­ity
of being unable to get defer­ment
along other lines.
Although no Information re­garding
the details of the CPTP
program to be offered at Auburn
this summer has been released
yet, applications are being taken
now. Those interested may get

Strong Teams to Meet
Professional Players
For Emergency Relief
By JIMMIE DAVIS
College stars who have just
entered the service fresh from
the various campuses of the coun­try
will team with grid veterans
of the mfbney game to give the
army two powerful football
teams.
One team will be known as
the "Eastern Army All-Stars"
while the other will be marked
as the "Western Army All-Stars"
These teams chosen from the
cream of the gridiron stars will
begin practice around August 22,
and will carry out a six-week
campaign against National Pro­fessional
Football League teams.
Definite engagements have
been made at New York, Cleve­land,
Boston, Brooklyn, Los An­geles
and Madison, Wis., while
several other dates are pend­ing.
Proceeds of all games, save
one, will go to Army emergency
relief. No line is to be drawn
between previous stars and ama-teus
of the game, every man will
get his chance. The Army has
available 1,500 men from which
to pick the two thirty men squads.
Col. John T. Taylor, assistant
director of the Army Relations
Office, is handling details of the
pigskin project and declares the
Army should win every game. As
yet, no men have been definitely
assigned to either side, this mat
ter will be left in the hands of
the head coaches of the various
sides. The matter of coaches has
not been settled as yet. It is
hoped that Maj. Wallace Wade,
formerly of Duke University will
pilot the eastern all-stars while
an Army coach of national fame
will head the western squad.
Come what may either team can
very easily be classed as the
leading grid eleven of the nation
come fall.
The plan at the present does
not call for a meeting of the two
service elevens, however, it
would not be surprising if they
yield to public demand and stage
an Army championship game af­ter
the professional bouts.

"Tortilla Flat"
Shows Sunday,
Monday atTiger
Lamarr, Tracy, And
Garfield Star In
Outstanding Film
Brought to life on one of the
most fascinating settings ever de­signed
for a motion picture, John
Steinbeck's best-seller novel,
"Tortilla Flat," starring Hedy La­marr,
Spencer Tracy arid John
Garfield, will be the Sunday and
Monday attraction at the Tiger
Theatre.
Accurately recreated to the last
detail, the set includes a street
two blocks long, with the paisano
shacks under the pines. It cov­ered
an area of three acres. The
set was built over a period of
six weeks, after set designers and
camera crews had gathered data
and materials at Monterey.
Carefree Paisanos
One of the most unusual stor­ies
ever brought to the screen,
"Tortilla Flat" deals with the
happy-go-lucky life of the Cali­fornia
paisanos who live a care­free
existence on Tortilla Flat.
Tracy, as Pilon, is the leader of
a band of paisanos. The youngest
and best looking is Danny, played
by Garfield. Pilon's greatest ad­mirer
is Pablo, portrayed by
Akim Tamiroff.
They are content until Dolores
(Sweets) Ramirez comes to the
flats and Danny goes to work be­cause
he loves her. Frank Morgan
is seen in another memorable
character from the book, the
Pirate.
The film was directed by Victor
Fleming, who directed "Gone
With the Wind."

Ace Outfielder's
Service Secured
Montgomery's outfield was
strengthened considerably this
week by the addition of Lloyd
Cheatham, husky blocking aCe
and captain of the '41 Auburn
grid edition. Cheatham was

He will be counted upon by
Manager Bill Cronin of the Rebels
to handle the right field job.
Cheatham broke into the line-up
last Tuesday and although failing
to hit safely in two official trips
to the plate he made a great
catch of Al Simmons' long drive
in the second inning. Montgom­ery
has for the first time in sev­eral
years a pennant contender
and Auburn hopes that Lloyd
Cheatham will really burn the
diamond for the Rebels.
Cheatham was for two years a
