Aid Is Offered
In Formation Of
Public Forum
The following letter was re­ceived
by The Plainsman, and
I is self-explanatory.
Editor, The Plainsman:
Some weeks ago the editor of
e Plainsman advocated a public
ii'um on the campus . . . a place
where students could get together
regularly to discuss the affairs of
the world.
Tins is to call your attention
lo the fact that there has been
such an organization on this cam­pus
for several years, known as
the international Relations Club.
This club, one Of hundreds
throughout the United States, is
sponsored by the Carnegie En­dowment
for International Peace.
The only obligations of the club
are: "(1) that a member of the
faculty shall guarantee preserva­tion
of the books sent by the En­dowment
as a permanent collec­tion;
(2) that there shall be com­plete
freedom of discussion and
that no one point of view shall be
forced upon the members; (3)
that every effort shall be made
to attend the Regional Confer­ence
to which the Club is eligi­ble,"
The local club imposes no fur­ther
obligation except that the
members are pledged to pay their
pro rata share in any special pro*
gran) they wish to have, but in­volving
no extraordinary expense.
The club has a library of about
150 books, all of which are avail­able
to members at all times.
These are the choice of all modern
books on international relations
and on the subject of peace.
To be an active member Of this
club is to place yourself in a group
of the most forward thinking
young men and women of this
country. Every student leader
and all thinking members of all
student organizations on this
campus should associate them­selves
in this effort to become ac­quainted
with and to discuss great
world movements.
I should be greatly pleased to
talk with the student leaders and
others interested in the idea of a
public forum.
Sincerely.
T. P. Atkinson

The cast for the Auburn Play­ers'
spring play, "The Happy
Days," has been selected and is as
follows: Francine, Laline White;
Marianne, Sarah Kirk wood; Per-nette,
Patty McCoy; Michael,
Andy Ellner; Oliver, Billy Goode.
The part of Bernard has not been
cast.
"The Happy Days" is a light
comedy. The background is
French-Canadian, while the set­ting
is a farmhouse located on an
island in the St. Lawrence River.
The parents, who have gone off
for a visit, leave the house in the
hands of the younger members of
the family. Francine, the oldest
girl in the play, Marianne, who
is in love with Oliver, and Bern­ard,
a seventeen year old boy,
are brothers and sisters. Oliver,
who is about twenty-one, and
Bernette, the youngest member of
the family, who happens to be in
love with Bernard, are likewise
of the brother-sister relationship.
The plot thickens as Marianne
and Pernette make up a fantastic
story about an aviator with the
intention of making Oliver and
Bernard jealous, when suddenly
out of a clear sky Michael, a very
charming person old enough to be
attractive to two much younger
girls, appears and actually makes
the supposedly jealous boys have
the real emotions.
Professor Telfair B. Peet will
direct "The Happy Days."
Soldiers May Make
Application For
The College Program
The following questions and
answers were included in a bul­letin
from the committee for War
Service Opportunities for College
and University students. This is
a part of the American Council on
Education, Washington, D. C. The
questions and answers are con­cerned
with the Army Special­ized
Training Program.
Q. When will the Army Special­ized
Training Program begin?
A. Some colleges will be asked to
initiate programs on March 1st,
others on April 1st, still others on
May 1st, and so on. In this way
:men can be assigned to colleges
jfor basic and for advanced pro­grams
as they become available
through replacement training
•centers and induction centers.
Q. Does a soldier make applica­tion
for the college program? A.
, Yes. He makes application to his
Commanding Officer for t he
Army Specialized Program, and
if accepted he is assigned either
! to attend a college or university
lor an Officer Candidate School,
j depending upon his qualifications.
Q. What will be the length of
the basic course in the A. S. T. P.?
j A. The basic program will con­sist
of three twelve-week terms,
or a total of approximately nine
calendar months.
I Q. What curriculum is planned
! for the basic program? A. In a
I typical" curriculum about two- j
I thirds of the academic hours will j
' be in mathematics, physics,
j chemistry and other sciences. The
I remaining one-third will be de­voted
to history. English, and j
geography.
Q. What will be a typical week
in the A. S. T. P.? A. A typical
week will include twenty-four
hours of classroom work, includ­ing
laboratory periods, and twen­ty-
four hours of supervised study
time. There will also be six hours
a week of supervised physical
conditioning and about five hours
a week of military instruction.
The latter will consist of lectures,
orientation work, morning forma­tions
and some drill. There will
be sufficient free time provided
each day for personal affairs and
the men will be off duty from
late afternoon on Saturday until
the Sunday evening meal.
Q. Will the advanced program
run for nine months also? A. Not
necessarily. Qualified men will
be routed into specialized fields
where the work is in twelve-week
terms, but the number of such
terms is dependent upon the field
in which the soldier is working.
The fields will include engineer­ing,
physics, chemistry, psychol­ogy
and other specific areas.
Q. What curriculum is being
planned for the pre-medical pro­gram?
A. A pre-medical sched­ule
calls for sixty-four weeks. The
following work has been trans­lated
into semester hours: Mathe­matics—
8; Physics—8; Chemistry
—18; Zoology—12; History, Eng­lish,
and Geography—15; Other
selected subjects such as lang­uages,
sociology and psychology—
25.
Q. What is planned for the med­ical
program? A. This c alls for
the same number of semesters of
work as the American Medical
Association standard^ now re­quire.
Medical curricula are un­changed
and each school will con­tinue
to establish its own cur­ricula.
Medical men assigned to
this program will be selected
from t h e pre-medical group:
school authorities will be request­ed
to do this selection under the
general supervision of the Army.

SECOND GROUP OF AUBURN
RESERVES ORDERED TO DUTY
Ring Salesmen
Are Announced
The Balfour Jewelry Company
has asked the students who have
ordered rings to give them a little
more time for completion of API
ring orders.
The reason for the delay is that
the company is doing 65% war
work manufacturing insignia for
all branches of the service. They
are doing double duty and will
get out the orders as rapidly as
possible.
Balfour has authorized Auburn
ring salesmen to accept orders
for rubies again. The number of
stones available now is small, and
therefore all who wish them
should place their orders right
away. The stone sells for an addi­tional
$3.50 above the regular cost
of the ring.
The price of rings set with
onyx is $22.50. while the cost with
the ruby set is $26.50.
Anyone wishing to place an or­der
for a ring can do so by con­tacting
one of the following mem­bers
of the ring committee. Hom­er
Wright, phone 888; Joe Justo,
phone 123-J; A, D. Blackwell,
phone 311; J im Kelly, Pitts Hotel;
H. G. Jackson, phone 789; Jack
Thomas, phone 259; Otto Evans,

Over 150 Men Being
Sent to Centers In
Grade of Private
One hundred and fifty-five
men enlisted in the Army En­listed
Reserve Corps, unassigned
group, at Auburn have been or­dered
to active duty effective
March 15, in grade of private to
reception centers in South Caro­lina,
Florida, Georgia, and Missis­sippi.
Second Group To Go
This is the second group of stu­dents
under a Reserve Program
at API to be ordered to active
duty, the first group, students in
the Army Air Corps, Aviation ca­dets,
having reported to Miami
Beach, Fla., on February 28.
Officials of the 4th Service
Command stated that orders for
a third group of Auburn students
in the ERC, unassigned group,
will probably be* issued early
next week.
Orders Mailed To Homes
Orders to report to duty will be
mailed to the home address of
the reservists listed. And upon re­porting
to the reception center
named in the orders, they are to
go immediately to the command­ing
officer for processing and ap­propriate
assignment to duty.
At the reception centers the re­servists
will be outfitted with uni
forms and other clothing, innocu-lated,
given their first instruction
in Army regulations, sanitation,

From the reception center, the
soldier is shipped either, to one
of the 2g Replacement Centers or

By SHIRLEY SMITH
The beginning of the new scho­lastic
year marks the start of the
seventh year as Executive Secre­tary
for Mr. Ralph Draughon. He
assumed his present duties on
March 1. 1937, succeeding Mr. P.
O. Davis who became Director of
Agricultural Extension Service on
that date. Mr. Draughon gradu­ated
from Auburn in 1922, and re­ceived
his M. S. degree from this
institution in 1929. He returned
to the campus in 1931 as an in­structor
in History and Govern­ment
under Dr. George Petrie.
Six Years of Changes
"The last six years have been
extremely busy ones for all per­sons
connected with the admini­stration
of the college," Mr.
Draughon said in -an interview
last night. "The college has un­dergone
many changes during
this period. We have grown a lot
in number, and perhaps we have
matured a lot in our thinking as
students, teachers, and admini­strators."
Mr. Draughon thinks that the
increasing gravity of world con­ditions,
and the slow but sure
approach of war to this country
have considerably matured the
vrews of students on- all the cam­puses
of the country.
Important Developments Here
In looking backward over the
last six years, Mr. Draughon list­ed
the following developments as
most interesting:
1. The rear 1S37 marked the
first year that teachers received
salaries in full after the debacle
of l t t l.
2. The Aismendem growth of
the student body, and the appa-faith
of the
people of Alabama in Auburn as
an institution of learning.
3. The great building program
of the college, and the fact that
no sooner were the buildings op­ened
than they were filled to ov­erflowing
with additional stud­ents.
5. The visit of President Frank­lin
Roosevelt to Auburn, and bis
inspirational talk to the Auburn
students.
6. December 7th, 1941. and all
that it implied for America and
for Auburn.
7. The tremendous task of re­organising
the college in order
that it might render maximum
service in winning the war. The
Accelerated War Program has
more than justified the long and
tedious hours of concentrated
work and thought that went into
8. The tremendous contributions
that Auburn men are making in
the armed services in this war.
No college has a better record of
service.
9. That day in Columbus, No­vember
21. 1942.
10. The selection of Auburn by
the War Department for the train­ing
of engineers under the Army
Student Training Program.
11. The work of the ROTC
Corps, of which all Auburn
should be justly proud.
12. The national
that has been given to Auburn's
program of PE 100.
13. The labors of the Faculty in
striving to improve instruction at
Auburn.
14. The leadership of Or. Dun-in
One-Day Campus Appeal

Executive Cabinet Will Direct College Drive;
Committee Chairmen Are Announced by Park
The Red Cross War Fund drive will be promoted by the
Executive Cabinet this year and will be held on Wednesday,
March 17. The campaign will end that day after a concen­t

others appointed by them.

Pictured above is talented Igor
Gorin, who will appear here on
March 9 at Langdon Hall. His
performance begins at 8:15 p. m.
Gorin to Sing
Here Tuesday
As the first presentation of the
Auburn Concert Series for the
Spring Quarter, Igor Gorin, pop­ular
concert baritone, will appear
here next Tuesday in a recital at
Langdon Hall. The performance
will begin at 8:15 p. m.
During the past few seasons,
Mr. Gorin has been presented in
a large number of concerts, hav­ing
filled recital tours from coast
to coast. Prior to this, most of
the singer's professional appear­ances
in the United States were
largely over the radio and on the
screen.
Mr. Gorin believes that singing
in the concert hall is advantag­eous
because there constant stim­ulation
is received from the re­sponse
of the audience. The more
alert and enthusiastic an audience,
the more the artist can give, ac­cording
to Mr. Gorin.
Presentation of Igor Gorin is
the seventh attraction brought
here this year by the Auburn
Concert and Lecture Committee.
Mr. Kirtley Brown is chairman of
this committee, which seeks to
bring the best in entertainment
here each year.
asked to contribute $500.00.
A statement, as issued by Rev.
William Byrd Lee, county chair­man
of the War Fund campaign is
as follows:
"The Red Cross is making an
appeal this month for the largest
amount of money ever asked.
Never before have the needs'
been as great, and never before
have possible rewards coming to
this country been greater."
The drive will last for one day
only, and the contributions will
be solicited from the individual
students in the various class­rooms
and from tables in the
classroom buildings.
Thermometer to Show Progress
Organizations on the campus
will be asked to contribute to the
fund. With a thermometer at the
main gate and totals registered
every hour, the goal of $500.00
will be marked and the progress
of the drive can be observed at
any time.
Final Plans To Be Announced
Planning of the Executive Cab­inet
is well under way, but final
details have not been announced
as yet. The organization of the
drive will be well set up, and the
functioning of the soliciting will
run smoothly with as little inter­ruption
of the class work as is
possible.
The whole drive is to be con­ducted
under the auspices of the
Student Executive Cabinet, with
the President of the Cabinet act­ing
as General Chairman in
charge of and responsible for all
arrangements.
Committee Chairmen Named
The chairmen of the various
committees as appointed by Henry
Park, chairman of the drive, are:
Jim Kelly, treasurer for the drive
with Marjorie Prince as assistant.
David Allen, and Fred Duggar are
handling the publicity; Blanche
Ellis is in charge of the drive in
relation to the women students;
Check Stevens is chairman of the
soliciting committee; Gibbs Ash­ley
is responsible for the hand­ling
of the various material used
by the drive; Jimmie Wood is
secretary of the campaign com­mittee;
Lamar Ware is responsi­ble
for the hourly record of the
drive as read from the thermom­eter.
Record-Breaking j
March Weather Is j
Experienced Here
A light flurry of snow and a
howling, biting wind descended
Wednesday upon the campus, and
students crunched to classes over
frozen, spewed soil. So far no ap­preciable
let-up has been noticed
as this record-breaking weather,
the coldest tabulated for March in
65 years, caused students to wand­er
about with unshaven faces and
bundlesome garments.
This versatile month has also
produced 1.68 inches of rain as
compared with 1.5 inches for the
entire month of February. Tues­day
produced a low temperature
of 45 degrees, while the low for
Wednesday was 21 degrees.
Due to the uncertain climatic
conditions PE 100 has suffered
suspensin for three days.

Recent Yearbooks Termed Unfair to Coops
The 1943 Glomerata has finally been is­sued
to the student; the many delays were
probably beyond the control of the staff of
that publication . . . the war and shortage
of metals and labor and many other things
but the book is now in the hands of
the students.
Already there have been several criti­cisms
of the yearbook by different persons
and groups on the campus, and several of
these have been aired on the editorial page
of The Plainsman.
We have still another fault to criticise, a
fault of the staff, so far as our reasoning
can determine. It is a fault that has been
prominent for several years, the same each
year. And it is a fault that could easily be
corrected.
At Auburn there is a group of students
who are in school only half the time . . .
the remaining six months of the year, they
are at work in the various industries of
the nation. This method of completing
their education is sanctioned by the college
authorities, even recommended by many
professors. In other words, they are stu­dents
in good standing.
Yet, year after year, their photographs
are left out of the class sections of the year­book.
Even if their pictures are made when
the first call is issued, many of their pic­tures
are left out.
The strange part of this is that some of
the co-ops, through some reason unknown
to us, are included in the class section.
There seems to be no dividing line for de­ciding
whose picture should be included,
and whose should not. If there was such
a line, perhaps we could find some reason
for leaving the remaining photographs out.
But. as we have said, there is no visible
line.
Giving the Glomerata boys the benefit
of the doubt, why is there any distinction
made? The co-operative students whose
pictures do not appear in the cass sections
pay a student activity fee twice a year
an*d then are stung with another fee of
$1.40 when the book, minus any recogni­tion
of their enrollment in school, is given
to them at the end of the year. That should
place them on an equal standing with the
regular students insofar as the financial
part of the deal is concerned.
They are full-time students, so far as
the school is concerned, and so far as the
government is concerned. In fact, they have
been getting many more deferments from
military service in proportion to then-number
than the remaining students on
the campus.
There we have it: They are bonafide
students here, they pay up their student
activity fees, and yet, as each year rolls
around, photographs of perhaps 60% of
them are not included in their respective
class sections.
We do not think that this is fair. These
students have as much right as any one en­rolled
at Auburn to have this recognition
given them, slight as it may be.
Besides, what is the purpose of the year­book?
Our conception is that it is com­piled
as a record of the students during
that year of school, and if that is true,
the Glomerata is useless to the majority
of the students enrolled in the co-operative
course at Auburn.
Rhapsodizings
By FRANK MARSH
/ -//<?• 3/24 Drawn for Office of War Information
Mutilation of Desks by Students Must Stop!
The Auburn freshman class of 1953 will
be facing the proverbial handwriting on
the wall if the students of 1943 do not
change their ways. This type of handwrit­ing
is made by students who have classes
in the New (Now) Building. Some mali­cious-
minded students have the Huckle­berry
Finn habit of carving their not-so-famous
names on the 'desks. The guilty
parties may or may not be science and lit -
students who claim the New Building
(called by some the gift from the Gods) as
their homes, but they can act as policemen
in the sense of asking wayward boys and
girls to bring their own wood to whittle on.
The senior class of 1943 can claim that
many changes have taken place in their
brief four-year stay. The greatest change
was the mass migration from Broun (May
it Never Perish) Hall to the beautiful
structure erected under the auspices of the
Public Works Administration by the whole
science and literature school. They all re­member
the dark days when the storms
would come, and Broun Hall would threat­en
to leave the system of buildings be­longing
to the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
and fly up "Nawth," to the University.
So we, the class of 1943, appeal to you
in the name of the so-called college culture
that you are supposed to be soaked in, to
spare the walls and desks of the spacious
rooms of our lovely General Classroom
building. Do you, the war-time students of
democracy, want to indulge in the plea­sures
of vandalism as practiced by the vul­tures
of the Axis or do you want to follow
in the footsteps of America and preserve
culture? Furthermore, if the writing habit
continues at the expense of the New Class­room
Building, people will soon be calling
it the Old Classroom building.
Auburn Personalities
By SHIRLEY SMITH
A Plainsman columnist once said: "A new editor . . . stream­lined
make-up of the paper . . . but still trying to fool the
readers by giving new names to the same old columns." And
this is precisely the case as far as this column is concerned.
Several names have been suggested. One person thought
"The Local Limited" could be substituted for Column Left, us­ing
"Choo-choo" instead of "Halt." "The Evolution of a Duck
or The Quacks of the Campus" was also considered. At last
after reading millions of entries (all accompanied by soup cou­pons)
we decided on Auburn Personalities."
We intend to take full advantage of the change in name. We
realize that boys have personalities too . . . and even professors
or members of the administration, so be prepared for anything.
Bobelle Sconiers, Valpariso, Florida
Called "Bobby" by her friends who number many, and
"Mrs. Sconiers" by people who don't know her so well, Bobelle
Sconiers will tell someone pretty quick that a war is going on.
And she can vouch for the worry and pride caused by the war,
for she can tell a true story that sounds like the plot of a movie.
The story, with Bobby's husband, Eve, as its hero, goes like
this.
Eve, athough he had washed out of flying school, loved air­planes
so much that he learned to be a bombardier. He was
sent overseas, and placed as a bombardier on a flying fortress
which was to participate in the raid over Dieppe, France.
During the raid, the pilot was killed and the co-pilot shot
in the arm. Eve, in spite of his lack of training, successfully
flew the fortress back to England. For this he was awarded
the Distinguished Service Cross.
Eve kept flying and later was taken prisoner by the Ger­mans.
He is in a prison camp now. Bobby sends him food as
often as she is. allowed, and occasionally gets a letter from
him. Eve writes that the German Red Cross has treated him
fine.
Frank, conscientious, and popular, Bobby makes an ideal
president for Smith Hall. She transferred from college in her
favorite state, Florida, and is now a sophomore in pharmacy
. . . ambition is to help Eve run a drug store of their own in
Sarasota. Here's hoping that ambition is realized!

Three weeks ago we wrote a

Madame Chiang Kai-Shek was so
impressed by this article that she
flew to Washington and made a

Another distinguished person,
Mr. Paul Mallon, author of "News

read our article. However, he
took a different attitude from

history was the American Civil
War. China herself was torn with
similar civil wars for many years
prior to the Jap invasion in 1937.
* * *
"Basically then, a global state
would not in itself guarantee
what its aspirants expect."
* * *
Frankly, we believe Mr. Mal­lon
is off the beam on two big
points. In the first place, those
who advocate a world state do
not think it guarantees peace. It
merely offers more opportunities
for a peaceful world than any
other plan.
* * *
Secondly, he seems to think our
Civil War indicates the failure of
this Federation to secure peace.
But we think the fact that the
states of this union have fought
among themselves only once in­dicates
the success of a federa­tion
in reducing the number of
wars.
"* + *
Imagine the number of wars
that probably would have be. n
waged between the forty-eight
states if each had remained a sep
erate sovereignty. It should b<
remembered that just prior to the
formation of our federation of
states, several of the colonies were
at sword points with each other.
* * *
Mr. Mallon also asks how each
nation would be represented in a
federation of nations, especially
if the federation were a democ­racy.
Doesn't he know that the
same question was raised by the
colonies? The establishment of
two houses of Congress settled
the question in the eighteenth
century. We don't see why this
wouldn't be the answer to Mr.
Mallon's question.
* * *
There are many other questions
and problems that Mr. Mallon
presents. But very similar mat­ters
were just as discouraging to
the colonists as his are today.
* * *
The point is that our fore­fathers
hurdled thousands of ob­stacles
to save the colonies from
chaos. Today, when the enthv
world faces chaos, we cannot af­ford
to work less to solve our
problems in creating a federa­tion
of nations.

So there, too, Mr. Mallon!

According to a Washington news publi­cation,
war is about to hit the American
people a solid lick. Here on our campus
we have felt the increasing severity of
shortages, rationing and draft procedures,
but the national blow will be felt in many
wavs: in battle losses, in broken homes in
less medical attention, in heavy taxes, in
business upsets, and in job shifts.
Youths of college age now are tramping
off to training camps and within a few
weeks many young family men will follow
in their paths, for the army and navy are
proposing to induct at least 1,000,000
fathers in the next few months.
Casualty lists are to become the longest
that the nation has faced since the War
Between the States and college graduates
from our own and other institutions will
form a large proportion of this tragic l i st
It is evident that ladies will find it un­necessary
to watch their diet. Two pounds
of canned fish each year and five cans of
canned goods per month will be the maxi­mum
allowed. Tne armed forces will re­quire
enormous fractions of our food sup­ply,
and civilian use will be curtailed even
more if bumper crops are not harvested
this year.
Labor shortages are becoming more ser­ious
for the war industries must have 3,000,-
000 additional workers this year, and farm­ers
also want a labor army.
Crowded hospitals, overworked physi­cians,
chilly homes, understaffed restau­rants,
broken equipment, and business fail­ures
will become more prevalent and in­convenient.
Private cars, however, are like­ly
to remain on the road on a curtailed
mileage basis. The rubber outlook looks
promising as to recapping tires needed to
carry the burden of local transportation
problems, but the capacity and delivery
services of laundry and delivery men will
be limited- New York City is already suf­fering
a 50 per cent slash in service.
All these trends lead up to an outlook
that promises no escape for any individ­ual
from the impact of war. Civilians are
to learn that total war means just that
This is strictly a write-up from a girl's viewpoint. All I
know is what I read in the papers. Of course, in this instance,
the paper happens to be a good source.
We see by some of the 1940 issues that a certain Homer
Davis Reid, of Birmingham, had enrolled as a freshman in
aeronautical administration . . . that he later pledged PiKA
that he was initiated. He ran in the Freshman Cake Race
and came in as Number — . . . anyway he ran and came in.
Then Mr. Reid was elected Freshman representative to the
cabinet.
In a 1941 Plainsman, our hero is on the front page again,
this time because he was tapped for Squires. He changed his
address from Birmingham to Columbus, and his course to
science and literature.
This year Rock made the big 30-point headlines when he
was elected president of Interfraternity Council. Then he was
tapped for ODK and finally Spades. And that's quite a career
for such a little boy.
From another source we learned* that when Rock moved
to Columbus, he left his heart in Birmingham. And since he
can't go up to see his girl as much as he*d like, he's mighty
friendly to his fraternity brother's girls.
Rock is one of those persons you can't help liking. He has
a nice personality and uses it to advantage.

Changes
By now you are probably hang­ing
your hat on a different rack.
Those who had to move did it
with a fine spirit. Don't think
there was a single kick from the
girls who had to move out or
the girls who had to move in.
Things seem to run this way.

for the purpose of obtaining
advice. So here it is:

I want the fun without the

I want to be naughty and still

I want the thrill of the first

I want the things the good girls

I want the arms and heart of a
man,
And still stay single if I can.
So as a lawyer, give me advice,
On how to be naughty and still

I want to do what others girls
do,
Tease 'em, cuddle, and bill and
coo.

Ride and swim, golf and skate.
Take the fence instead of the

Break all rules, yes, all but one,
And be good and true when the
game is done;
I don't like pepper, but I do
like spice,
I want to be naughty and still
be nice.
Next time the lawyer will re­ply

All PW 110 Classes
Are Being Given
The "Once-Over"
By ANNETTE CHENEY
If you happen to see any girls
going toward the gym with house
coats under their arms, you'll
probably be wondering what in
the world could be happening
[over at said gym.
Actually the PW 110 classes are
being given the "once-over" as
far as their physical condition is
concerned. Not "once-over" in
the sense of a sweeping glance,
but an oral quiz on everything
from the year you had the meas­les,
to how many hours a day you
have during which you can rest.
Many Question Asked
After you have informed the
questioner that you sleep between
and in as many classes as possi­ble,
you find yourself telling how
many meals you eat, how good a
customer you are of the Grille or
of Benson's, and what type things
your snack list includes.

for telephone equipment are going into war weapons.
Yet today the raeu and women of the Bell System are

decide whether you had your ton­sils
out when you were five, or
when you were seven, if you get
tired easily, and how long you

decide that the tonsils actually
came out when you were six, the
gym instructor hands you the
card upon which she has been
writing, and nods her head toward
a clothes line of sheets and bed­spreads
which are draped around
two tables.
Examinations Next
At the first table, you start
sticking out your tongue only to

at your feet. At the next ta­ble
yoUr back is examined, and,
much to your amazement, Mrs.

Gorin, who became a
lized citizen three years ago, dis­covered"
this song while looking
through some music recently ar­rived
from Russia. Recognizing in
it the stirring appeal it had to
arouse all of us in this struggle,
he took it to Charles O'Connell of
the Victor Company. O'Connell
agreed with Gorin enthusiastical­ly.
Plans were made then and
there to give it its first American
performance. Harold Rome was
engaged to write the lyric. On
July 6, 1942, (only two days af­ter
our Independence celebration)
before a cheering crowd of 8,000
people at the famous Water Gate
in the nation's capital, accom­panied
by the National Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by Mr.
O'Connell, Gorin introduced "The
United Nations on the March" to
the American public.
Performance Makes Headlines
This outstanding performance
by Igor Gorin of this new song
made headline news in the news­papers,
and the United Press sent
out a story which was reprinted
all over the nation. In a special
dispatch to the New York Times
its Washington correspondent
stated, ". . . the audience with
much handclapping and cheering
forced him to return and sing it
again. During the second per­formance
many stood as if for
the National Anthem." The Wash­ington
Times - Herald's distin­guished
critic exclaimed, "In his
capacity to put over the text,
ring sentiment."
Stirring Number Recorded
Soon after this first perform­ance
Gorin recorded the song for
the Victor Comany, gave the sol-tones
of the day." The Evening
diers its first hearing at Fort
Thomas and Fort Knox, Kentucky,
and sent it over the air for the
first time when he appeared as
guest star on the Kraft radio hour
from Hollywood the following
week. v
This is not the only time Gorin
has introduced a stirring new song
to the American public. Shortly
after gaining his citizenship pa­pers,
Albert Hay Malotte com­posed

by Captain J. D. Price,
commandant of the Naval Air Sta­tion.
Hans completed elimination
training at the Naval Air Station
at Atlanta, last August and was
then sent to Jacksonville for ad­vanced
iligntjnstruction.
Proficiency at the gunnery
range, in the study of celestial
navigation and communcations,
and in actual flight was necessary
to give him a thorough back-group
