Editorial
ih
i a meeting of r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from all the fraternities,
itics, and honor societies last Friday night, Mr. P. O.
presented the plan of buying a bomber to be named
Auburn Tiger." Although all the organizations pledged
mpport, no special one has taken the lead. The Kiwanis
has voted to raise the money by May 1, which date is
" i Saturday.
It the money is to be raised it will be necessary for some
mization to take charge of the drive, so that all the in-
;ts foil! be centered in the same direction. The organiza-m
will have to be one which still has a sufficient number
I members to carry on the drive. P e r h a p s a girls society or
;orority would be the better, since there are plenty of girls
lefi in school.
Now is the time for the students on the campus to wake
up. We have slept long enough. It is high time we were ready
to accept the responsibilities of this war. There is no better
,v, to accept this responsibility than to aid in the purchas-
| of a bomber. If one society on the campus would back
this drive and all the s t u d e n t s would cooperate, the Kiwanis
Club could reach its goal and maybe more. It is a grand
1 iii<e for die whole school to support a worthwhile cause.

freight cars were inspected, nec-cassary
carpentry was done, and
food and water was supplied for
the trip.
Two cars carried 29 of the best
horses en route for Front Royal,
while one car was used for the
remaining 10 horses bound for
Camp Stuart. Colored attendants,
equipped with lanterns, folding
army cots, and other necessary
paraphernalia, were stationed

Refresher Courses,
Tests Fill The Day Of
Quadrangle Soldiers
By ODOLENE NOLTE
At the STAR Unit in the Quadrangle
one will find men of many
different professions and jobs before
they joined the armed forces.
There are trainees from Harvard,
Yale, and Columbia; a former
FBI agent, lawyers, and business
men. They constitute the best
four men out of every hundred
in the army, as far as ability
goes.
They all have one thing in
common. They have been picked
by Ai-my Specialized Training
Program field selection boards as
generally qualified for the Army
Specialized Training Program.
These boys, in their respective
camps, have proven that they
should receive further college
training.
Schedule For Each
Upon arrival at the STAR Unit
a trainee is given a schedule
which will account for each hour
that he is in attendance at the
Unit This schedule is determined
by the number of days that he
will be at the STAR Unit before
the monthly opening of a training
unit, for which he can be
processed and assigned. As the
training units only start classes
on the first Monday of each
month, the trainee^ stays here
from three to twenty-seven days
waiting until a new class vis
started.
No Typical Da?
There can be no typical day for
the men, for each trainee is taking
different tests at different
times, depending on the number
of days before the first Monday in
the next month. These tests consist
of mathematics, chemistry,
physics, engineering, medicine,
and languages. After the tests
have been graded the trainees is
classified. He may classify in
either of three terms or quarters
under basic training or four terms
under advanced training. The
quarters are twelve week periods.
After Testing—Waiting
After he has been classified,
and awaits orders from Washington
as to the college to which he
will be sent, the trainee has a
regular schedule. He has reveille
at 6:30, breakfast at 7:00 and
classes from 8 until 12. The classes
consist of refresher instruction
in the course in which he has
qualified.
His afternoon schedule consists
of class from 2 til 3, military
training from 3 til 4, physical
training from 4 til 5:30, and supper
at 6:30. After then he has a
study period from 7:40 til 9:00;
with "taps" at 10:30.
If, after taking the specified
tests, a trainee fails to pass, he is
sent back to his former camp.

Two Former Members
Of Plainsman Staff
Visit Office Monday
The Plainsman office was visited
yesterday by two of its
more reknowned former writers.
The first to make an appearance
was First Lieutenant Herbert
Martin, better known here as
Birdlegs." Lt. Martin, who is at
present an instructor at Fort
Bragg, N. C , was the creator and
author of the column "Plains-talk"
while a student here.
Later in the day Captain John
Godbold, F. A., editor ot The

stationed at Fort Sill, Okla., came
in for a short chat
ERCs Entrain Sunday
For Fort McPherson
Boys Are Expected To Return Wednesday Or
Thursday After Processing And Equipping
By J. HAVELOCK
With m i l i t a r y precision and speediness the first contingent
of Advanced Course ROTC students from Auburn swung
into the train Sunday afternoon at 1:04 and left for Atlanta
and issuance of khakis at Fort McPherson, Ga.
This was the first such group to leave Auburn in a body
for induction into the armed forces of the United States. In
four special cars, and under the command of Spillman "Shug"
Fitzpatrick, the entire group left Auburn for the last time in
"civvies," at least for the duration.
The students were formed into
a company of four platoons. Under
Company Commander Fitzpatrick
there were Platoon Commanders
W. B. Patton, First Platoon;
F. H. Vogler, Second Platoon,
A. G. Rankin, Third Platoon,
R. A. Nixson, Fourth Platoon,
and First Sergeant R. F.
Rutherford.
Reported Sunday
The men reported to Fort McPherson
Sunday afternoon, and
began taking physicals, shots,
and getting uniform issuance
yesterday morning.
The newly-inducted privates
will return to Auburn on Wednesday
or Thursday of this week
on one of the regularly scheduled
trains.
Started Early
The boys began to appear on
the streets of Auburn about
twelve Sunday, waving to friends
and each carrying a small handbag.
By 12:25 the station and
platform was well crowded with
the students and friends.
Promptly at 12:30, Company
Commander Fitzpatrick gave the
order to "Fall in," and order began
to appear out 6i the milling.
The four platoons were formed
under the trees on the West side
of the, station proper, and roll was
called. Each student was given
his ticket at this time.
There Were Late Ones
Of course, a few of the boys
were late, but they showed up a
few minutes later. After the official
check, "At Ease" was given
and the short wait for the train
b e g a n . Latecoming onlookers
walked around looking for especial
friends to tell them goodbye
and wish them luck or to 'glory"
over their being left as civilians.
Girl Friends Were There
The better girl-friends were
there to see their favorites off.
Too, there were families to see
the man of the house leave for
his shots and khaki. At least one
wife and child were present, with
a goodly sprinkling of wives.
According to reports, one
freshly-wed soldier-to-be had to
be pushed forward to receive his
ticket.
And They Leave
Finally, after important personages
had posed for news
photos and several "War Eagles"
had been given, the signal arm
dropped and the train came
around the bend. In the short
space of perhaps three minutes
all 268 of the students were on
the train, and, without any lost
motion, it pulled out, filled to the
brim with grinning boys.
Rules For Cuts In PE Given
For Both Men And Women
Men Must Make Up
Excessive Cuts At
7:00 A. M. Class
As the end of the quarter approaches
many of us are wondering
how we stand with the PE
Dept. and how many cuts we
must work off. Boys who have
taken excessive cuts from PE
100 will be allowed to make them
up by attending a special class
held at 7 a. m.
Pertinent Facts
Male PE students are allowed
two cuts this quarter. If a third
is taken by a student, he will obtain
a special permission slip
from the PE Dept. that will admit
him to the 7 o'clock class for
3 make-up hoiws.
All additional cuts following
the above mentioned three will
be made up by two morning sessions
each.
Girls. Too
Girls taking PW 110 are treated
in a defferent manner. They
are allowed no unexcused ab-senses,
but are allowed two excused
cuts. When a girl is on extended
absence, she is not required
to attend classes to compensate
for the time lost.
More Particular*
However, in the event a girl
misses a class, not due to extended
illness, she must attend makeup
sessions for 4 hours. If the
girl acquires three cuts she automatically
receives an incomplete
in the course. If a girt wishes
to miss PW 110 for a day, and
knows about the forthcoming absence
in advance, she should contact
the PE office and request
permission to make-up the cut
before she misses class. Permission
for such action is often
granted.
Scouts Sponsor Drive
For Coat Hangers
Needed By College
About 7000 wire coat hangers
are needed for the closets in the
women's dormitories. The number
of men quartered in the
dormitories is increasing every
week and the shortage of metal
coat hangers is becoming very
acute.
A drive is being made by the
Auburn Boy Scouts to collect
hangers from the college students
and the townspeople. The Scouts
will be paid $1.25 a hundred for
the coat hangers by the college
and this money will be put in
the Scout fund. Any person or
organizations h a v i n g hangers
which they wish to contribute are
requested to contact a member of
the Scouts. Only metal coat
hangers can be used.
"The Happy Days" To
Begin Two Week Run
On Night Of May 3
"The Happy Days," Spring
quarter presentation of the Auburn
Players, will open at the Y-Hut
on Monday, May 3. This play
will run for eight nights—May 3,
4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13. Students
will be admitted on their ticket
books. The charge for townspeople
will be 25c.
Donee Club
There will be a business meeting
of the Dance Club Wednesday
afternoon, 4*0 o'clock at the regular
place. All old members vn
urged to attend.

Let The War Eagle Scream!
In the second War Loan Drive, it has
been proposed that Auburn raise enough
money to buy a bomber which will be
called the Auburn Tiger, or the Auburn
War Eagle. We are in favor of the War
Eagle.
For we all want to hear the War Eagle
scream o v e r Germany much as he
screamed over Georgia last fall. Six
months ago he was only playing, but he
played well, and came out without rumpling
his feathers. This time he. will be in a
fight, and he'll rumple his feathers all
right. But they won't be the only feathers
rumpled.
Then he only had a Master Bulldog to
play with . . . now he has a Master Race
to set straight. Give him a chance. All he
wants is to be uncaged, and the key to
his cake is $175,000. Turn him loose. Let
him scream terror into the heart of der
Fuehrer. Let him scream Victory into the
ears of the Allies.
LET THE WAR EAGLE SCREAM!
Again We Say: Where's That Auburn Spirit?
Since the beginning of this school year,
the Auburn campus has been a training
center for many service men. We now have
marines, sailors, STARs, Air Corps Radio
School students, Naval cadets, and CPTs.
These boys have been thrust upon the
mercy of the students and the townspeople.
They are miles from home. Recreation in
Auburn is sadly lacking. True, there is a
USO center, but unfortunately this organization
cannot take care of all the service
men in Auburn.
Recently, a few of the sororities have
given parties for these service men. Too
much praise can't be given these groups.
After this quarter of school most all of
the college boys will be in the service and
many will be sent back to colleges—maybe
Auburn. Most of the civilians feel sorry
for these boys but they want someone
else to do the work. They want their
friends and relatives, who are in the army,
to be entertained, but they don't want to
entertain someone else's friends.
Here's hoping that the other groups on
the campus will take this to heart. Let's
have more parties and house dances for
the service men on the campus. We talk
about that Auburn spirit—well, we have
a wonderful chance to put- it into action.
Disgruntled Students Should Cooperate
The task, duty, business or whatever it
may be called, of taking the compulsory
course in physical training at Auburn is
rugged and at times inconvenient. The approaching
summer season promises a few
more' discomforts that can only be ironed
out by full cooperation of students and
instructors.
Lately, perhaps resulting from the
spring fever running rampant on the campus,
there has been a tendency towards
irritating demonstrations and general
misbehavior on the part of the students.
This has prevailed particularly in the
Fourth Regiment composed of non-ROTC
students.
Realizing the fact that warm weather
and the dusty ground make uncomfortable
condition's for exercise, the instructors are
willing to dismiss calisthenic groups after
they have completed a prescribed number
of exercises.
A small'percentage of disgruntled students,
however, seem determined to refuse
the compromise and continue to show
their apparent disapproval of anything resembling
exercise by talking, grunting,
and hand-clapping despite express orders
to the contrary. These liberties are taken
at the expense of the large majority of cooperative
students who are honestly concerned
with executing the exercises properly
and promptly in order that they may
be dismissed.
Discipline obtained through daily physical
training can prove very beneficial to
those preparing to enter the armed services.
It will serve as a medium between
soft civilian life and the tough army life
where hard-boiled sergeants ask, and give,
no quarter. It appears prudent that the
most should be made of this opportunity,
short though it may be.
Arguments Against War Department Decision
Although the Army is to allow the students
in advanced course ROTC who will
return from Atlanta in khaki to continue
in their present schedules, it has been
stated by the War Department previously
that men sent to school from the regular
army will take only specialized courses.
For a period of eight to ten weeks the
soldier-students will apply themselves to
the task of mastering some one or two
technical subjects, and even then to master
them only so far as is required in order
to manipulate the arms of war . . . these
are the inferences in the dispatches concerning
the training of soldiers in the colleges
in our land.
We will not attempt to present wholly
both sides of this question of cultural education
in time of war. What we wouldTike
to do is to quote a statement of Prof. James
H. Breasted, art historian at the University
of California. Says Mr. Breasted:
"if you let the fire in the furnace die out
LETS MAKE THE AXIS DANCE!
it will take some time to get it going again.
The study of the liberal arts was the first
to be surpressed by Adolf Hitler in Germany.
"While, unfortunately, we have had to
emulate the Germans in many military
matters, I believe it most undesirable to
copy them by blacking out the cultural
lighthouses of civilization. When Hitler
came to power ten years ago some of the
first scholars he threw out were not Jews
but philosophers, psychologists and political
and art historians.
"They dealt with values which could not.
be measured by chronometers and galvanometers,
but which were none the less*
real. The Nazis knew these men could see
the fallacies in Hitler's philosophy. The
universities of America, however, realize
that they must make the necessary sacrifices,
and unless they actually do so as a
part of the present catastrophe they will
not deserve to be part of the main stream
of civilization after the war."

Up and Down the Campus
By C. W. HORTON
Editor's 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.
Last Sunday about 270 of our classmates and friends left
for Atlanta and induction into the army. Today or tomorrow
they should be returning in the khaki of the United States
Army.
These boys who will return will be the same boys that we
saw leave on the train Sunday. Yet, in another sense, they will
not be the same. Some of their happy-go-lucky air will have
disappeared, for they will realize that at last the war is touching
them directly—it is entering their daily lives.
Oh yes, we realized that a war was going on because we
were in the show and heard the announcement that the Japs
had bombed Pearl Harbor. Yes, we knew that the war was on
because we heard the President ask Congress to declare war
and we heard Congress do it. Then we enlisted in the reserves
so that we wouldn't be drafted until we finished school. And
we went on living our usual lives—the dances still came every
Saturday night—we still went to football games—we still went
on brew parties and on necking parties. And out there somewhere,
our friends were dying.
Yes, we knew that there was a war because the college introduced
a physical training program. And didn't we received
word that Bill Jones, the boy we went to high school with,
-was killed in action on Corregidor? But we still went on drinking
our brew and pitching our parties and going to our dances
and our football games. And Jimmy Doolittle dropped bombs
on Tokyo!
Then one day a friend or a professor shows us a letter saying:
"The Army (or the Navy or the Marines) has a job for
you to do." And we shake his hand and tell him goodbye: "Take
care of yourself." But we go back to our usual routine.
Then one day we read that all reserves are to be called in
the first of June. "What the hell difference does it make? I'm
ready to go anyway." Then we hear that the ROTC boys in
ERC are to be put in uniform. That didn't make much difference,
though, because we had been seeing uniforms on the
campus for about two years. So we continue in our usual mode
of life.
But someday we will receive our own orders and then we
will go to our own duties in the armed forces. And when we
receive ours perhaps we, too, will realize fully that a war is on
and we will leave our dances and our brew and our necking
to those who are still here.

Mr. Bill Trammell suggests that we are not taking full advantage
of Auburn's week-end amusements. We won't argue
that point for we "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."
Bill, however, is well-known.for his Casanova-ish tendencies
and the gift of gab. Unfortunately, we are endowed with
neither of these gifts. Neither do we have a convertible coupe
to add to our week-end pleasures.

Field Artillery Terminology:
Shrapnel is an obsolete type of
Field Artillery projectile. Before
the breach loading cannon was
perfected, grape and cannister
were used against troops in the
open. Grape consisted of nine
round shot about 1 inch in diameter
Jield in position by four iron
plates. As this cleared the tube
when'fired, it disintegrated giving
the effect of a sawed off shot
gun. Cannister was a can of light
sheet iron, filled with iron fragments
such as bolts, nuts, etc.
When fired, this was blown apart
by the blast and had the same effect
as grape but with reduced
range.
Shrapnel is an improvement on
grape and cannister. The projectile
has a small bursting charge in
the base. In front of the bursting
charge are, for the 75mm gun,
250 lead balls'^ inch in diameter.
The projectile has a time fuze.
The time fuse is set for the time
it takes the projectile to travel
from the gun to the target.
Just before the projectile hits
the target, the bursting charge is
fired. This blows off to the front
and the nose of the projectile and
the 250 lead balls, giving the effect
of a sawed off shot gun at a
distance from the gun. A man
who is wounded by "shrapnel7' is
hit by one of the small lead balls,
about the same as being hit by a
.45 pistol bullet.
As shrapnel is effective only
against troops in the open, it is
an obsolete projectile. The high
explosive shell is used. When this
shell is detonated, the shell case
is blown into small fragments
with enormous initial velocity
and is effective against troops in
trenches and by explosive effect
against materiel or structures.
Men are now wounded by "Shell
Fragments"' or from bombs & ..
planes by "Bomb Fragments." I:
is incorrect to state that a man
was hit by shrapnel as is the common
expression.

News O' the Week—Spring is
here, I betcha. Again I missed out
on Spring. I will keep trying until
I hit it right, if it takes until
December. Think it will rain?
* * *
Some more news o' the week—
Two hundred and seventy young
men, the flower of Auburn, left
for Atlanta last Sunday to be inducted
into the good ole Army.
The strange part of the news lies
in the fact that they all rode the
train. Didn't any of them feel the
least inclination to catch rides.
Are they Auburn men or ain't
they?
• # *
A few cinders from the old
boiler — While riding the 6:40
freight out of Mungumery Sunday
eve with some more Auburn-ites,
I entered into a bull session
with them and two Gawja Tech
lads. The Gawja Tech men (or.
nearly men) were members of the
Advanced ROTC Corps. They had
been enrolled in the ERC and had
been inducted into the Army on
March 13 at Fort McPherson. It
only took them a week to go
through the processing, labeling
and shipping. They (around 300
boys) were the guinea pigs in the
experiment of inducting ROTC
students.
* * *
We (the Auburn portion of the
bull session) were very interested
in what it is like to be inducted,
conducted and producted into
the Army. One Tech private told
us that the process should be
called preserving instead of processing
due to the fact that when
they finish sticking needles full
of fluid ' into you—you are preserved.
* * •
The sad fate of future Army
bait — The other Tech man
brought forth- this interesting tidbit;
"Aw, those needles are easy
to take. You walk in there, an attendant
paints a" brown target on
your arm for the sticker to aim
at. with his artillery, you get
stabbed from both sides, walk out
the door, and faint oft either side
of the .walkway."
• •' •
Six or seven thousand coat
hangers are needed to go in the
barracks for our young service
men. Contact some member of
the Boy Scouts, if you have any
hangers, and he will come after
them.
• • •.
2 wonder where P. D. K. is
now? That song "I Don't Get
Around Much Anymore" doesn'i
apply to our president. Or his
wife, Eleanor.
* * *
The tearful tale of a tattered
tot — One of the Auburn lads
who will come back sometime
this week to live in the quad was
heard to say, "For three years I
tried to get a room in the dormitories
and at last I succeed, but
what do I have for roommates—
men." Life is like that. Is that a
tragedy?

Printer's note: We will publish

The pensive philosphy of a
penny pinching parasite — This
was borrowed from a book, but it
doesn't apply anymore: "Every
damn fool in college doesn't own
an automobile; but every student
in college that owns one is a
damned fool!" Again, I wish to
say that it isn't original, that i!
is not my opinion, and I found it
in a book. '

One gag from the hangman
bag. Or, good choke, eh what?—
N' there was the young man who
received a bill by mail from his
landlord. He turned to his wif
and said, "Holy Smokes, I've go!
a letter from the old devil, himself!"
His wife these words calmly
said, "Save me the stamp, I
don't have one from there!'
Stinks, doesn't it?

Now Is The Time For
Fancy Men To Hit The
Courts And The Balls
By LEROY SPEARMAN
In the spring a young man's
fancy—and if you don't believe it
just take a look around you and
see all the fancy men. And some
of the fanciest, you may well
fancy, are spending their spare
time and their PE 100 cuts at the
tennis courts. Tennis is a wonderful
game that everyone should
play and if you take a look at
the local courts you will think
that everyone does—and all at
the same time. If you have not
mastered the game we "would like
to briefly present some brief
pointers on the game in hopes
that these briefs will end griefs.
Several Types of Players
There are several different
types of players that you will encounter.
In descending order they
are—good players, lucky players,
bad players, and those who just
came out to show off the new
shorts.
One of the first essentials of
the game is the tennis ball. This
is the little item you often swing
at but seldom hit. The life of a
ball is full of hard knocks so
they natcherly don't live long. For
that reason, --tennis balls are usually
classified as being live or
dead. (Sometimes players may be
classified the same way.) There
are three general types of tennis
balls—white balls, so called because
they are white (until
played with on a asphalt court,
anyway); red balls that are red
and are easier to see unless you
think white ones are (in short,
we'll not argue the point, not being
able to see either); and the
latest type, the black ball, so
called because of its procurement
from the black market.
Other Equipment
Then you will need a tennis racquet.
This is the instrument that
you swing at the ball as it goes
by and after you have missed the
ball it is the instrument that you
examine closely to assure the
gallery that it was the fault of
the racquet and not you since a
string or sumpin's musta been
loose. This racquet, when actually
broken, you may restring yourself
if you have the guts to do it.
Another Necessary Item
Now we go to the tennis court
(we'll pretend we can get one)
and prepare to play. The tennis
court is an area outlined with
; lines within which you are expected
to confine your activities—
:and if you can you are good. As
I if things weren't hard enough al-i
ready, we find another obstacle
j in the form of a net about three
j feet high stretched right smack
! across the center of, the court be-
'•• tween you and your partner. Now
all you hafta do is hit the ball
I back and forth, hitting it not
! later than the first bounce (if it
{bounces at all—and with present
•day equipment — who knows?)
and try to keep it inside of the
lines and out of the net—some
fun! Just watch the ball—if it hits
outside the last line you get a
point; if it hits inside the line
then try and hit it back; if it hits
close to the line call it either in
or out depending upon whether
you get the point or not and also
depending on what you think
you can get away with.
Varieties of Shots
When you are able to hit the
ball you will want to try several
different types of shots. These include
the overhead, the forehand, I
the backhand, and the under-handed.
(Note: The underhand |
shots include those that change
direction more than three times
in flight, those that don't bounce
or else have a non-regulation
bounce, those that hit the top of
the net and then roll over, and
those that float over. These shots
are also listed under the heading
of 'nigger tennis'.)
The number of points you make
will depend mainly on the number
of mistakes your opponent
makes and whether you win the
game or not will depend on
whether your opponent can keep
score. That should be about all
you need to know to get started
in this game. Additional information
will be given upon receipt of
twenty-five tennis balls or very
reasonable facsimiles. To try out
what you have learned go out to
the local courts early some Monday
morning and by Thursday
evening of the same week you
should have a court. You will
probably find then that all this

Deanna Durbin To
Star In Picture
At Tiger Theater
Without ceremony beyond the
'traditional family birthday observance,
Deanna Durbin recently
became old enough to vote.
Born in Winnipeg, Canada, on
December 4, 1921, the motion pic-i
ture star now assumes all the
! legal privileges that accompany
attainment of one's majority.
Further Proof
Further proof of her grown-up
status is her role in Universal's
current "Amazing Mrs. Holliday."
at the Tiger Theater on Wednesday
and Thursday. Deanna has
a seriously important part in the
new film which is rated one of
the season's most extraordinary
productions.
Deanna is an American citizen
by virtue of the naturalization of
her parents, who came to California
when she was less than one
year old. She is an American
completely devoted to the war effort
under her President and First
Lady, whom she met when she
attended the 1941 President's
birthday ball in Washington.
D. C.
Story Called Fabulous
Deanna's story remains one of
the most fabulous in the~Tiistory
of Hollywood. Released by one
| studio which failed to recognize
her potentialities at 14, she became
a star at another studio
which was septical of her chances
but willing to give her an opportunity.
Her record of ten straight successes
is not even approached by
any other American star. She is
the favorite of many countries in
Pan-America, Europe and the
Orient, and is officially the leading
box-office star of England.
