1942-08-07 The Auburn Plainsman

              Band Concert To Be
Held Tomorrow Night
Program Will Begin at 7:00 in Amphitheater
With Selections from Light Operas, Marches
The Auburn Band will present the first summer concert
ever given by that organization tomorrow night. Beginning at
7:00 P. M. in the amphitheater of Graves Center, the con­cert
will feature a number of selections from musical come­dies
and light opera. The band will be under the direction of
P. R. Bidez.
When API opened for the summer quarter, the band was
re-organized upon the basis of six practices a week, several
of them being indoors. This made
possible the selection of numbers
from light operas and musical
comedies to be played along with
the usual marches.
The 60-piece band, although
primarily a military band, will
present a concert worthy of the
name. And a few of the stirring
marches in its repertoire will be
included.
The program is as follows:
The Star Spangled Banner,
John S. White.
Overture to "The New Moon,"
Sigmund Romberg.
Selection from "The Chocolate
Soldier," Oscar Straus.
Prayer and Dream Pantomine,
from "Hansel and Gretel," Engel-bert
Humperdinck.
A Childhood Fantasy, Clifford
P. Lillya.
Selection from "The Fortune
Teller," Victor Herbert.
Overture to "Rose-Marie," Ru­dolf
Friml.
This concert, probably the only
one to be presented by the band
during the summer quarter, will
be followed by a series of con­certs
during the fall and winter.
Members of the band are as fol­lows:
P. R. Bidez, Auburn; F. M.
Jones, Montgomery; J. B. Wilson.
Auburn; J. B. Martin, Auburn;
F. B. Bryant, Anniston; J. D. Col-vard,

Night Courses
Being Held In
Alabama Cities
A total of 2,617 men and wom­en
in Alabama are now in train­ing
to be more efficient war
workers by taking courses of­fered
in the Engineering, Science,
and War Training program at Au­burn.
In cooperation with the United
States Office of Education, API
is conducting 142 classes in 54
essential war training courses.
These courses have been held
throughout the summer in 19
Alabama cities. Chemistry, in­dustrial
management, and ac­counting,
are among the subjects
being offered. Complete courses
in civil, mechanical, electrical,
and chemical engineering are also
being given.
All courses are of college-level
and are designed for men and
women who are now employed or
are seeking employment in war
industries. Anyone with a high
school education or its equivalent
may enroll in the tuition-free
evening courses.
Cities in Alabama in which the
ESMWT courses are being carried
on are Mobile, Dothan, Montgom­ery,
Sylacauga, Talladega, An­niston,
Gadsden, Huntsville, De­catur,
Cullman, Florence, Birm­ingham,
Bessemer, Jacksonville,
Piedmont, Guntersville, Auburn,
Opelika, and Tallassee.
Registration for the fall pro­gram
will begin about Septem­ber
21; classes will start October
5 and continue through Decem­ber
18.

Boys and Girls Taking PE IOO
Quite a Sight to On-looker
By SHIRLEY SMITH
There they stood, waiting for
the command "A-ten-SHUN." As
this was given these Tarzan-like
specimens (in varying degrees)
snapped to attention, and shouted
in unison the words. "Hands
RAISED—EX-er-cise!"
My pulse quickened. My heart
pounded. What remarkable feat
were these men about to achieve?
Something which would put the
Ringling Bros, acrobatic troupe to
shame, no doubt. I watched, all
a-quiver with excitment.
At first, I thought they must be
waiting for another command be­fore
beginning (silly me), but
on second look (this time with the
aid of my glasses), I perceived a
slight movement at the end of
the outstretched arms. Looking
still again, I saw those one hun­dred
Tarzans (more or less) open­ing
and closing their ten little
fingers with truly amazing skill
and precision.
Ah me, such strength.

And now for the girls—those
Venuses (?) of API.
A person standing in the hall
of the gym may be a bit puzzled
by the "goings-on" of a girls'
swimming class. He sees crowds
of curly-haired, long, slender,
(some not so slender) athletic-looking
girls on their way to the
pool. "Hmmm," he thinks, "good
swimmers too, I'll bet." He smiles
to himself, wishing he could see
their swan-like dives and grace­ful
strokes as they swim across
the water.
Suddenly his daydreams are
interrupted by a loud splashing
sound coming from the direction
of the pool, followed by a gurgly
USO Show To
Be Presented
Monday Night
The K. P. Comedy Quintet and
the Fisk Jubilee Four will be the
participants in the show to be
presented by the USO-Camp
Shows in Graves Center Monday
night. To begin at eight o'clock in
the amphitheater, the show will
be for the entertainment of the
trainees only. The public is not
invited except upon the invita­tion
of Lt. Phillips or some other
member or trainee at the Naval
Radio Training School.
The K. P. Comedy Quintet is a
unique group of Negro musicians
who beat more rhythm and harm­ony
out of a set of kitchen uten­sils
than the average musician
produces from standard instru­ments.

He chooses to ignore the
next remarks which sound like

like "glub glub." Or the panting
voice which says incredibly,
"What — cross — the pool —

with gasping noises.
A little later, he is again awak­ened
by a crowd of rather strange

ODK
A national fraternity since 1914,
the chapter here has made a rec­ord
for itself because of its out­standing
work for the better­ment
of the students of API.
Tts purpose is three-fold: To
recognize men who have attained
a high. standard of efficiency in
collegiate activities, and to in­spire
others to strive for conspic­uous
attainments along similar
lines; to bring together the most
representative men in all phases
of college life and thus to create
an organization which will help
to mould the sentiment of the in­stitution
on questions of local and
intercollegiate interest; to bring
together members of the faculty
and student body of the institu­tion
on a basis of mutual inter­est
and understanding.
Ed Lee, a senior in industrial
engineering, is from Monroeville.
He is a member of Kappa Alpha
social fraternity and Scabbard

Auburn Veterinary
Men Will Speak
At Convention
Drs. Donald C. Boughton and
B. T. Simms of Auburn will be
two of the principal speakers be­fore
the Section on General Prac­tice
of the American Veterinary
Medical Association convention in
Chicago, August 24-27, according
to final programs for the national
gathering received here today.
Over 1,000 veterinary leaders
from all parts of the United States
and from several foreign coun­tries
will participate in the four-day
sessions, which will devote
major attention to war problems
and the part of the veterinary
profession in the nation's victory
effort.
Blue Key
One of the newer honor socie­ties
on our campus, the organiza­tion
has rapidly advanced to one
of the leading groups in its serv­ice
to the students and faculty
of API.
Its purpose, as set forth by the
constitution, is: To study, discuss,
and strive to further the best in­terest
of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute; to foster inter-col­legiate
relations and develop a
national collegiate spirit by plac­ing
the stamp of approval on all
college leaders, making them

To Speak At
Victory Rally
Big Meeting Will Be
Held in Stadium On
August 20 at 8 P. M.
Senator Lister Hill, a member
of the Senate Committee on Mili­tary
Affairs and the Democratic
Whip for the Senate, will be the
principal speaker at the huge
Victory Rally to be held in the
stadium. Set for Thursday, Au­gust
20, at 8:00 P. M., the rally
will be participated in by six
East Alabama counties. The par­ticipating
counties are Bullock,
Chambers, Lee, Macon, Russell,
and Tallapoosa.
"Purpose of the rally is to pro­mote
complete mobilization of all
people on the civilian front in
East Alabama to the end that an
all-out effort will be made to win
this war," said Charles G. Dob­bins,
deputy state administrator
for the state of Alabama.
A large audience of several
thousand people are expected to
be on hand for the rally. Par­ticipating
in the ceremonies will
be the Auburn military, naval,
and Signal Corps organizations,
together with war industries
trainees and Civilian Pilot Train­ing
enrollees. Civilian defense
units from this section of the
state have been invited to attend
in a body. Music will be furn­ished
by the famous Auburn
Band.
Because of the tire rationing,
persons attending the rally from
out of town are urged to bring
as many people as possible in the
cars that come, to the rally.

Of Scientific Bulletins
Two scientific studies, one on

the other describing a new appar­atus
to test the resistance of the
eggs of intestinal worms to vari­ous
chemicals and temperatures,
have been published by the de­partment
of zoology-entomology
and the Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station at Auburn.
Investigations for the study of
eggs of poultry parasites were
carried out by Dr. Reed O. Chris-tenson,
associate professor of zoo­logy,
H. H. Earle, Jr., a 1941 grad­uate,
Hubert Creel, a student at
Auburn, and Robert L. Butler,
Jr., a recent graduate.

Pre-Registration
Will Begin On
August 17
Pre-registration for the fall
quarter for the students now in
school will be held during the
week beginning August 17, 1942.
All the details and instructions
will be published in next Friday's
Auburn Plainsman.
It is urged that all students who
care to do so arrange to pay their
fees before leaving school at the
end of the summer quarter. Al­though
the late-fee will not be
charged before September 10,
payment of fees before going
home will allow the student
several extra days of vacation.
The paid-up person need not
come back to Auburn until class­es
begin on the tenth of Seprem-ber.

We hate to mention this. We
suppose it's not really our place
to say anything about it, but we
just can't let it go unnoticed. It's
a disgrace to our school and com­munity.
Such gross negligence
and lack of attention to duty must
not be allowed to continue. No
such blot should stain the escut­cheon
of our Alma Mater. We
trust that it will not be neces­sary
for us to mention this mat­ter
again.
* * *
.And now to more pleasant sub­jects.
* * *
We read the following news
item quoted from an English pap­er:
"Mrs. Foster is a native of
Wales, and her husband is serv­ing
abroad in the RASC. They
have a daughter aged 2. Now she
is in charge, under a foreman, of
14 important machines."
How can we lose this war when
we have allies like that?
* * *
Now is the time of year to get
in a little off-the-record target
practice in preparation for those
watermelon cuttings. Don't say
we didn't warn you.
* * *
We saw an ad that really
caught our eye, so we checked
up to find out how accurate it
was. 'Twas really so, too. The
wording was simply, "Fantasia
will Amazia." And it did. Wheth­er
or not one likes gnats and
Alley Oop animals with his vio­lins
and oboes, he must admit
that here is something new.
* * *
Now that F. M. Hyatt has suc­ceeded
J. H. Orr as general man­ager
of station WJHO, we wonder
if the name will be changed to
WFMH.
* * *
We never got up laundry. How­ever,
we gather that it isn't such
a pleasant task. Our roomie cusses
for hours before finally sitting in
'midst his filthy clothing.
* * *
We watch interestedly as he
uses pencil, paper, slide rule, log­arithms,
and trig tables in a futile
effort to arrive at exactly three
dollars. He hates to leave out that
other handkerchief, but he wants
to wear clothes instead of a pos­tal
card next week.
* * *
We heard of an upperclassman
who decided to make up his own
laundry after his freshman built
him up a good overcharge by
having a pair of pants cleaned at
fifty cents and' the same pair
pressed for an additional twenty.
* * *
We wonder if there will be fra­ternity
skit night this year. We
thoroughly enjoyed the last one.
We have a terrific plot based
upon the obstacle course.
* * *
Speaking of the obstacle course
reminds us of a discovery made
by one of the rather short boys
found at this school. This lad,
built with his head too close to
the ground, had quite a bit of
trouble with the eight-foot wall
at first. Then he discovered that
there was a board near the bot­tom
on which he could stand and
by stretching could reach the
crack.
* * *
At the band concert Saturday,
listen carefully and you'll hear
something unique in the history
of military bands. Chief, finding
that no one in the band has the
notes for a certain part in one
number has decided that he will
just sing it himself!

If all the land were apple pie,
And all the seas were ink;
And all the trees were bread
and cheese,
What would the neighbors

Hades Daquiri is undoubtedly
the most stubborn typewriter
that ever existed. We've been
trying to talk her out of this
column for two weeks, but she
won't listen to reason. She has
the ribbon between her teeth . . .
and here she goes.
* * *
Brown-nosing is an time hon­ored
custom at Auburn . . . as
well as at other schools. It must
have been going on here longer
than at other schools because the
professors are so wily.
* * *
There is nothing more discour­aging
than to have your most
subtle brown-nosing received
with a sly grin and no appreci­able
rise of grades.
* * *
Bringing apples to class went
out with hoop skirts . . . the mod­ern
version is a Coca-Cola. One
brings a coke to class and says
demurely . . . "It was so hot, pro­fessor,
I thought you might like
one, too." Only it never works.
They always bring you one next
period.
* * *
Always laugh at their jokes is
usually a good rule. One warn­ing:
don't laugh unless you un­derstand
it clearly. It may not be
a joke. They often do that to
catch people like you.
* * »
One industrious brown-noser
keeps a file in which she careful­ly
notes all the professor's likes
and dislikes. If he likes fishing
she reads books on fishing. If he
has children she reads books on
care of the child. On one occasion
she went into a long discussion
of teething, only to remember
later that she had the wrong pro­fessor.
He was a determined
bachelor.

About quizzes. There are two
types . . . crips and non-crips. At
least we've heard of crip quizzes
but have never had opportunity
to look one over. Pop quizzes are
in a class by themselves, inde­scribable
in lady-like terms.
\
Professors seem to be pos­sessed
of a sixth sense, which in­forms
them with deadly accuracy
when the biggest percentage of
students had a bad night, had a
maximum amount of sleep, and
got up too late for coffee. Then
they give a pop quiz.
* * *
They have a seventh sense
which tells them at precisely
what page of the text book you
went to sleep on. They start the
quiz there. If you have a little
general knowledge they give
completion type, if you have spe­cific
knowledge they give discus­sion
. . . just to make it difficult.
If they're the sporting type they
give true and false on the sup­position
that it gives you a fifty-fifty
chance. Statistics prove this
supposition a fallacy.
* * *
Professors, as personalities, are
maddening. If they are interest­ing
they always reach the most
intriguing point of the lecture
just as the bell rings. If they are
clever, they put in their funny
remarks at irregular intervals so
that you don't dare go to sleep
for fear of missing something.
* * o
If they are dull they possess
the quality of long-windedness in
proportion. You can't sleep in
their classes for fear of being
hypotized by their monotone if
you relax.
* » *
One trouble with good profes­sors
is that you never know them
well enough. They never have
time, you never have time to talk
to them. We think it would be
nice if all classes ran for two
periods. The first period for
strictly business, so his conscience
won't hurt if he gets off the sub­ject
the second period.
* » *
All professors should hold a
session after class to clear up
matters which need discussion.
May we suggest agin and agin
that coffee is the very best aid
to mental agility.

Note: The opinions expressed
in this column were those of the
typewriter and do not necessar­ily
represent the policies of
anybody living or dead . . . -
Clothes Make the Man . . or Do Ours? BETTER START DOING SOMETHING NOW!!
In the past it has been the policy of The
Auburn Plainsman to try to carry only
those editorials which were constructive
or which could do some good with some
"evil."
With this policy still in mind we would
like to say a few words about a subject
never mention thus far in the present Au­burn
Plainsman: our laundry and its serv­ice
to the students.
We like the idea of one laundry doing
all the student work if they can get it
done cheaper—cheaper to the students.
And it is a good idea to have the students
pay for their laundry all at the same time,
to save time, worry and inconvience on
the part of the students, the school and
the laundry.
And, we can also see where it has to be
compulsory for all of the men students to
take the laundry in order for it to be so
cheap.
However, there is still one or two things
that we have not been able to quite under­stand,
not only this year but during our
entire college course. One of these is that
since the students are required to pay for
the laundry, and it is an added expense
that most of us cannot afford to send it
out somewhere else, and we have to send
it to the Ideal Laundry, why does the serv­ice.
On the whole, mind you, on the whole,
clothes are washed rather nicely; but,
when it comes to the dry cleaning end of
the laundrying, there is something sadly
lacking in the process used.
When one sends in his clothes to be
cleaned and they come back in practically
the same condition, it slowly but surely
becomes disgusting, and irritating.
We readily admit that we do jiot know
item one about the cleaning process in­volved
in cleaning clothes. But, when the
slip says "fifty cents for cleaning pants"
and we send them in to be cleaned, we at
least expect them to be cleaned, not sim­ply
pressed or steamed.
If we are going to have to pay for this
necessary item then we should be getting
what we at least pay for. Students are en­titled
to this consideration. Double creases,
spots, and dirt are all right on trousers
before they go to the dry cleaning plant,
but certainly not after they come back
clean.
Take a Look Into ^he Fall Term of School
Although the summer session still has
over three weeks left before its comple­tion,
it might not be inapropos to take a
brief flight of fancy into the future to see
what lies in store for us when we return to
school in the Fall. After twelve torrid
weeks under the summer sun, most of us
will be ready and waiting for the return
of cool autumn weather and all that oc-companies
it.
Almost before the session is underway,
the football season will begin with the
opener in Montgomery on September 18.
We all will have ample opportunity to see
the current version of the mighty Auburn
Tiger, as the team will play eight games
within a radius that will make them avail­able
to almost every student. Of course,
there will be those famous pep rallies and
parades that always are such an important
part of that Great Auburn Spirit.
Ballard Field will be crowded each af­ternoon
with players and enthusiasts of
the game as the touch football teams bat­tle
it out for league honors. If the past few
years can be taken as an indication, the
competition should be keen and the spirit
high in the various leagues.
The crowning day in the year of each
new freshman will come along about the
middle of the quarter when the 1942 Cake
Race is run. This year's 2.7 mile grind over
the gruelling course should be a bigger
and better one than ever, as all concerned
should be in fairly good physical shape
due to the physical training program. One
lucky man will be the proud possessor of a
huge cake, and an equally huge kiss from
Miss Auburn, while over a score of others
will also share the prizes and awards.
Perhaps the main attraction of the com­ing
quarter will be the return of cooler
weather. Although most of us enjoy the
sports and recreation of summer, we will
welcome the crisp tang of the autumn air
and the refreshing coolness of the even­ings.
Study will be easier and even our
grades might show favorable change. A. L.
Are We Losing Our Sense of Duty?
Who are we? We are the students of Au­burn
and we are a cross section of the most
important class of people for the United
States. That is who we are. It is we who
will have the task of preserving the civili­zation
of the world. We are the future en­gineers
who must rebuild the world; we
are the future doctors who must cure the
world; we are the business men, the law­yers,
the teachers who will knit the world
together; we are the scientists who will im­prove
the world. That is our importance.
Why does this task fall to our shoulders
alone? It is because the good minds of the
last generations are being destroyed in
this war; these minds which we will need
and miss so much will not be there to help
us. Our civilization is truly depending
upon us alone to preserve it.
And yet we students seem wholly ob­livious
to this important and difficult task
that is facing us. Daily we grow more
frivolous, more lazy, and more disinterest­ed
in our work. We note casually the prog­ress
of the war, the happenings in our
country; and we hardly notice at all our
work that we should and must be doing.
We take interest only in our daily petty
amusements. This apathy and unreliance
is symbolized by the three civilians who,
while watching the recent cadet corps pass
in review, remained slovenly slouched
with their heads covered when the flag
was passing.
What can we do? We must devote a max­imum
amount of energy and time to pre­paring
and training ourselves for the job
we must do. We must ignore our annoy­ances,
abandon our laziness, and get down
to giving everything we have to our work.
We must watch with interest what is hap­pening
in our country and contribute to
the victory effort materially with bonds.
We must show those unpatriotically-cov-ered
heads what this country means to
them. And if we really know what this
country actually means to our own selves,
we will give everything we have to train­ing
ourselves properly and in this way
make the coming peace a victory for our
country and a victory for civilization.

Sailors' Life
By DAVID ALLEN
The trainee for this week's interview is Seaman, second
class, A. Z. Hill, formerly of Trion, Georgia. One of the few
trainees here who are married and whose wives are in Auburn,
Seaman Hill lives in town.
Seaman Hill is the commander of Company C, and, we are
told, makes excellent grades in his studies.
Moving to Trion while still young, Hill finished high school
there. He was a member of the football team for four years.
After high school, he prepared to go to college. However,
something happened that caused him to change his mind.
One week before he was scheduled to leave for college he
received an offer of a job with the Riegel Textile Corporation.
The offer seemed so sound that Seaman Hill decided to forego
the higher education for a while, and accepted the job.
For two years he was paymaster of the branch at Trion,
and then was promoted to the position of a junior executive.
In that capacity he handled orders and costs, specializing in
sales analysis. N
On March 4, 1942, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy because
"it appeals to me." He was called to active duty on April
fourth and followed the usual procedure of indoctrination.
Although he was eligible for a petty officers rating as yoeman
because of his previous training and experience, he asked for
training in radio because he "figured he might as well learn
something new.while in the service."
"I like the Navy fine while the war is on, but I think I will
want to get back into civil life when this thing is over. #.

Russians Retreat from Germans Behind Lines?
Among the most startling of the recent news dispatches
is that one which informs us of the Nazi paratroopers' sifting
down behind the Russian lines in the Crimea, causing the Red
troops tc> retreat. This strikes me as a rather paradoxical state­ment:
imagine soldiers behind the lines causing the enemy to
retreat. New bulletins about parachute battle tactics, however,
remind us of a few various other situations which illustrate
how enemy forces quietly stalk in to gain the upper hand.
What Is the Issue Between India and England?
For one instance, there is the case of the government of
India, and its decision to side with Japan unless Britain gives
India unconditional and immediate independence. It has been
repeated time and again that neither Mohandas Ghandi, the In­dian
Congress, or much of anything else could keep India's
Moslems and Hindus away from each other's throats within
a few hours after Britain's withdrawal. This seems to be Eng­land's
chief argument for keeping India under its control.
Be that as it may, we hardly think that the majority of
India's thinking men would want to see an India dominated
by the Sons of Heaven. In my opinion, the Congress has been
taken over by a few influential men who are on the side of
Japan, to whose best interests it would be to be allied with the
Nips. If they're not that, they are Quislings or, worse still,
Benedict Arnolds.
Perhaps A Union of the CIO and AF of L
Another graphic illustration is presented by the AF of L and
CIO, whose most far-seeing and intelligent leaders are now
striving to reunite the antagonistic rival groups. Both of
these alliances were "paratroop blitzed" in the late '20's by
ex-gangsters, European-trained saboteurs, and aliens. Some of
these who rose to positions of relative power and importance
were responsible for the bitter capital-labor battles of the
automobile factories, the damage of which is just being for­gotten.
The labor group's more sincere leaders are just ridding
their ranks of undesirables such as Harry Bridges, et. al.

"Auburn Man
Writes From
Mojave Desert
Member of Class
Of '42 Receives
Copy of Plainsman
Dear George,
Just so you will know who is
writing you, I'll identify myself.
You remember the guy that they
called "Smitty"~that used-to -hang
out at the Lambda Chi house?
Well, that's me. I'm, at present,
with the 378 Engineer Batta­lion
on the Mojave Desert in
Southern California, and I just
got the "Auburn Plainsman" for
the first time out here. Why write
about that? Because any news j
from AUBURN is certainly some- j
thing to write home about, and
is just as welcome as a cool drink j
of water on the desert. I know! !
I hear from some of the boys from
school, and they all seem to think
that it's hot there, but they just
don't know. Yesterday, the tem­perature
here was 140 degrees (F)
and it rarely ever gets below 130
degrees during the day. We went
out on the job the other day, saw
a coyote chasing a rabbit and it
was so hot they were both walk­ing.
It's so hot here the sun ties
"figure 8" knots in the railroad
rails. That's the biggest job we
have; straightening them out at
night when it cools off enough to
handle them. One of our boys that
had a good friend in the Navy that
he hadn't seen for five years, saw
him come floating by on a
mirage.
Since the air is so dry here, it
is necessary that we all go by the
dispensary every morning and
get a liquid injection to keep us
from becoming completely dehy­drated.
(You know, one thing I
learned at AUBURN was to al­ways
tell the truth.) I've never
departed from that teaching.
There are two of us AUBURN
men in the 378th, the other be­ing
Lt. Charles M. Cannon, of
Opelika, Class of '33 (who, inci­dentally,
has just been promoted
to the rank of First Lieutenant
and made Company Commander
of Company "D", this unit). There
is an old saying that "whenever
anything happens, there's always
an AUBURN man there", and al­though
nothing has happened yet,
we're right on hand in case it
does.
Always Your Friend,

Hits and Misses
On the Intramural Front
By CHARLES SCALES
By the end of next week the
softball season will be a thing of
the past. Apparently Auburn's
terrible summer temperature
could not slow the boys down for
the softball this quarter has
proved to be the best in years,
especially from the spectators
point of view.
The Intramural Department
was particularly impressed with
the good sportsmanship which
has prevailed throughout the
several leagues. Of course, there
have been minor arguments here
and there, but then what can re­main
interesting long without
something extra to enliven the
crowd?

Several entries have been filed
for the open swimming meet
which is scheduled for next
Thursday night. Throughout the
list we noticed several men who
have shown their ability in prev­ious
meets, so you newcomers

rate there will be plenty of ex­citement
for the spectators dur­ing
the evening. Applications will
be accepted until Thursday noon;
thus you have plenty of time to
get your name on the dotted line.

Last Wednesday the Fourth
Regiment ran its finals in the
obstacle course race. After that
gruelling ordeal only five men
were still standing and from most
reports they would have pre­ferred
to have been somewhere
in the shade licking an ice cream
cone. Nevertheless they had won
out over their entire regiment and
had thus demonstrated quite a
lot of "the stuff that men are
made of." The first of these to
cross the line at the top of the
long hill was Sam Hardie who
rounded the course in two min­utes
and three seconds. He was
closely followered by Jim Mc-
Naughton, Paul Crow, Tommy
Mastin, and C. W. Hearn, in that
order.
The other regiments have been
delayed in their running by the
weather on several occasions so
their five best men have not been
picked yet; however, the Vet Bat­talion
did finish its competition
Wednesday.

During this week we lost the services of Pharmacist Williams.
Pharmacist Williams has been detached from this school for duty
at the U. S. Naval Hospital at Pensacola, Florida. We were sorry
to bid goodbye to Mr. Williams. During his short period at the school
he had become well liked by all hands. Good luck Mr. and Mrs.
Williams.
Dame Rumor hath it that one of our singers, Howard Fitzgerald,
is to be married this week. Fitzgerald has taken an active part in
our program of entertainment and has proven very popular with
local people. We feel sure that both he and the new bride have the
best wishes of all the people that know them.
Coming this Friday night is another USO entertainment, "Smooth
Sailing", to be supplemented by a few numbers by our own boys.
All men in uniform are invited to attend. It is expected that the
show will commence about 8 P. M. Details of invitations to public,
if any, will be handled by the Commanding Officer.
On August 7th a class goes out and on August 8th a new increment
of trainees will arrive.
So many people are cooperating so unselfishly with the boys in
training at this school. Not a day that passes that the sincere and
splendid cooperation of local people is not brought to our attention
by the boys themselves. The incidents are so numerous that men­tion
of names is impossible. We want you to know that for any serv­ice
you perform for one of these boys, you have our most sincere
appreciation, even if it cannot be expressed in person.
People have a natural inclination to criticize the Powers That Be
in their conduct of the war. During the past few months there has
been widespread expression of a desire for a second front. Any one
sitting in the driver's seat, must of necessity consider all angles of
any such proposition. Having served with seven Admirals we know
that those in command consider every component in the art of war­fare.
One component, and an important one, is the lives of the of­ficers
and men under their command. From what we can hear and
read, people like Hitler give little thought to the massacre of men.
When conditions are right we'll hit with the traditional American
spirit, and until that time all our arm chair generals should just get
busy and do what they can here. Gambling with the lives of men and
the fate of our country is a serious thing, and mo one knows that any
better than our Generals and Admirals who have spent their entire
life studying these things. Let's give them a vote of confidence.

Sigma Chis Win
From Kappa Sig
Team by 7-5
In a swift change-about from
their apparent slump last week,
the Sigma Chis displayed error­less
ball Tuesday afternoon to
ride over the Kappa Sigs 7 to 5.
The Sigma Chi boys started
their spree in the third frame
when Magnuson allowed three
walks and two hits. Thomas
gained first on a fielder's choice
and ' advanced to third after
Brown and Pope were given free
trips. Donavan, up next, drove
out a clean single to score Thomas
and he was followed by Weir who
drove out a beautiful hit to bring
home Brown. Pope," however, was
caught going into third, thus mak­ing
the third out and retiring the
side. Tapp scored in the next in­ning
after making first on a
walk, when Clisby and Tillery
rapped- out safeties to move him
around. The big inning came in
the fifth as the heavy end of the
batting list led off. Brown opened
with a safety and scored on
Pope's long drive; Williams fol­lowed
with another beauty, and
Tapp returned to slam out a three
bagger which scored Pope and
Williams. Tapp was left stranded
on third, as Thomas grounded i
out to close the inning for the
Sigma Chis.
For the Kappa Sigs Ronald,
Brown, Lee, Hamby, and Gamble
led at the plate, each collecting
one hit during the afternoon.
