              Army Will Give Boys
A Chance for College
President Duncan Issues Plea To Each
Student about His Part in Our War Effort
The United States Army will give many of his newly in­ducted
soldiers a chance at a college education if the pres­ent
plan is fully approved. Selection for those to get this
chance will be based on similar requirements for officer
candidates. The new program will begin about the first of
February.
Early Wednesday morning, Nov. 11, the following United
Press report was broadcast over
Radio Station WJHO and other
related stations throughout the
country:
"Washington—Uncle Sam will
foot the college bill for many of
his nephews to give America a
bigger supply of doctors, engi­neers
and scientists.
"The idea of college training at
government expense is t he
Army's. And the Army will have
charge of the program. The pur­pose
is to prevent a threatened
future shortage of specialists in
essential fields for both military
and civilian purposes."
Soldiers in College
"The program will give quali­fied
soldiers, preferably the
younger ones, a chance to go to
college on an active duty status.
Selection for college training will
be through a system similar to
that used in picking officer can­didates.
"The new program will be
started about the first of Feb­ruary.
The principal subjects will
be medical and pre-medical
t r a i n i n g , engineering and
science."—end quote.
Confirms Reports
"The above statement confirms
numerous other reports which
we have had indicating that the
colleges of the country are soon
to be called upon by the people
directing the war effort to train
young people for specific govern­ment
service in various phases of
the war effort," said President
L. N. Duncan.
"We are keeping in close
touch with the government offi­cials
who are developing this pro­gram
of training in order that our
institution here at Auburn may
adjust itself for -the greatest pos­sible
service to our young people
and at the same time be of maxi­mum
use in winning the war
speedily," he continued.
Make Good Record
"It is our great desire to keep
our students as fully informed as
possible as to plans and develop­ments.
In the meantime, may I
earnestly urge each and every
student on our campus to go
steadily ahead with his work and
make the very best record pos­sible.
It is very important also
not to be disturbed and misled
by gossip, rumors, ^and propa­ganda.
If you are in doubt about
any matter, go to your instructor
or dean or the Military office or
President's office, or to Kirtley
Brown, Armed Forces Represent­ative,
Samford 104, for informa­tion.
Homecoming
Will See Dances
By Some Band
'Name' Band May Not
Be Obtainable But
'Good Band To Play'
Homecoming dances will be
held on Friday and Saturday of
the 27 and 28 of November. This
announcement was made last
night by Billy Duncan, president
of the Interfraternity council, who
also stated that it appeared un­likely
that a big "name" band
could be obtained for the week
end.
Duncan said that due to the
transportation facilities being so
disturbed and the conditions be­ing
such as they were due to the
war, "it is almost advisable for
us to direct our efforts along oth­er
channels to obtain a band
closer to home."
He stated that if a popular na­tional
band could not be signed
for the occasion, then a popular
band from this vicinity will be
booked or perhaps a college band
from some of the nearby south­ern
colleges.
Prices of the tickets will be
sharply reduced if the "name"
band is not signed. Set tickets will
probably be sold, but no definite
plans have been made as yet in
regards to this.
Any fraternities who wish to
have a house party the week end
of Homecoming, should get in
touch with Duncan at the Phi Del­ta
Theta house sometime before
Wednesday noon of next week.

will complete the jaunt.
All Star Game To Be
Played on Wednesday
COLONEL WATTS
VISITS AUBURN
A familiar sight to Auburn
students and faculty alike was
the face of Colonel Harry L. Watts
on the campus this week. Col.
Watts did not graduate from Au­burn
but has been here as an in­structor
and professor of military
science and tactics on three dif­ferent
occasions. His spirit for
Auburn was often more than that
shown by many of the faculty and
students.
Col. Watts was transferred from
here last March to Fort Sill,
where he took a special course in
Field Artillery and was sent to
Camp Rucker, located at Ozark.
Delta Sigma Pi
Holds Founders
Day Banquet
Beta Lambda chapter of Delta
Sigma Pi professional fraternity
held its annual Founders Day
banquet at the Green Room of the
Pitts Hotel Monday night. Ap­proximately
forty members and
their dates were present.
Delta Sigma Pi, the only nation­al
professional fraternity for stu­dents
in commerce or business ad­ministration
on the Auburn cam­pus,
was founded at New York
University, School of Commerce,
Accounts, and Finance, in 1907.
The local chapter was established
in 1931.
Squires, sophomore honor serv­ice
society, is again sponsoring the
annual fraternity champion-fra­ternity
all-star touch football
game this year. The big event
this season will find the SPE's un­beaten
ball club opposing an all-star
aggregation composed of the
outstanding men from the entire
fraternity roster during the past
fall.
The major project of Squires
this quarter, financed by the pro­ceeds
of the all star game, will
be one of extreme importance
during the present period of in­tensive
physical training. The
entire receipts of the game will
be turned over to the Intramural
Department for the purchase of
a much needed gym mat to be
used both on the outdoor boxing
ring and the gym floor for wrest­ling
bouts.
According to a report received
from Dr. Lapp, director of the In­tramural
Department, the pros­pective
mat will cost approxi­mately
two hundred dollars and
will be of the best quality ob­tainable
for the dual purpose it
will serve.
The game to be staged in the
Auburn stadium Wednesday af­ternoon,
November 18, will begin
promptly at 4:15. All students who
have a ticket to the game will
be excused from P. E. 100 im­mediately
after roll call in order
that they may get to their seats
in time for the kickoff.
The all-star team selected this
week by the Intramural Board
has already had several practice
sessions and should be in top
condition for the fracas Wednes­day.
The all-star squad is as fol­lows:
First team: center, Weldon,
PiKP; guards, Masters, PiKP, and
Wilson, PiKA; ends, Butt, PiKP,
and Scruggs, SPE; backs, Fain,
PiKP, Walsh, DSPhi, Henderson,
PiKP, and Curlee, SPE.
Second' team: center, Simms,
DSPhi; guards, Ollinger,
and Quilty, SChi; ends, Marsh,
SChi, and Petty, KA; backs, Mer­rill,
SN, Mastin, SChi, McCut-chen,
DSPhi, and Califf, DSPhi.
Honorable Mention: linemen:
Smith, AGR; Bradford, SN; Sum­mers,
SPE; Beane; ATO; Bush,
OTS; Jones, SAE; Outlaw, SPE;
Lindsay, SPi; Bell, SN.
Backs: Richardson, ATO^ Jones,
KA; Gordon, PiKA; Cribbs, SPE;
Ortagus, TChi; Burroughs, SChi;
Wilkins, AGR; Reddick, PiKP;
Wright, SAE.
Tickets for the game are now
on sale and may be purchased
from any member of Squires or
from the ticket sellers to be post­ed
at the Main Gate Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week.
Auburn's Key Center
Of War Information
Is One of Three
Auburn has been selected as
one of the three Key Centers of
War Information in Alabama. Dr.
Paul Irvine is director of the Au­burn
center. The key center pro­vides
students with latest news.
The purpose of the war infor­mation
center is to provide the
students and the public with the
latest news on the development
of the war and advise on any
questions that may arise as a re­sult
of war conditions. In gen­eral,
the function of the center
is to eliminate a large amount of
the worry caused by inadequate
information.
Four faculty groups have been
organized to assist Dr. Irvine. The
Library of War Information is
under the direction of Miss Mary
Martin; the Speakers Bureau and
Training Service is .headed by Dr.
B. R. Showalter; the Morale Serv­ice
Committee and the War Con­sultation
Service units are head­ed
by Dr. Irvine. Dr. Irvine is as­sisted
by A. F. Nickel. W. E.
Sewell, A. J. Robinson, B. F. Cox,
J. C. Grimes, J. C. McKinnon,
C. R. Saunders, and Dr. Fred
Allison.
Pep Rally To Be
Held in Birmingham
Before LSU Game
According to an announcement
by John Spencer, a big pep rally
will be held in Birmingham, to­morrow,
before the Auburn—LSU
game.
The parade will begin at 11:30
from the terminal station, take the
same route that was used two
weeks ago, and end at the Red-mont
hotel.
The crack drill platoon will do
their stuff and be in the spotlight
during the parade. The band and
cheerleaders will add music and
spirit to this great parade. All the
Auburn boosters will bring up the
end of the procession and add
their bit to the show.

Navy, and Marine corps is that
freshman students make not less
than an average of 1.0 grade
points and upperclassmen not less
than an average of 1.5 grade
points on any quarter's work.
The College Committee on En­listed
Reserve will review merit­orious

Players Make Shakespeare
Seem So Simple and Easy
By BILL HARPER
(With apologies to William
Shakespeare and the Auburn
Players.)
You know, I received a pleas­ant
surprise the other night when
I attended the Auburn Players'
production of Macbeth. My Eng­lish
professor said Shakespeare
was very deep, but I didn't have
any trouble at all understanding
what went on.
Weird Sisters
For those of you who unfor­tunately
missed attending, I'll
give a brief outline of the play, as
I saw it, so that you may con­verse
intelligently about it with
your friends.
The curtain opens on Brenda,
Cobina, and Mabel programmed
as the Three Weird sisters (and,
brother, those sisters w e re
weird!). Their mumblings are in­terrupted
by the entrance of
Macbeth and Banquo, two killers
from Cawdor, who've been away
on a job for the Big Boss, Dun­can.
The hags jive them a little,
telling Mac he's booked for the
Big Time; and the dumb lug falls
for it like a Ton of B's. Then a
coupla Duncan's mob come in,
telling Mac that the Boss's Ace
Trigger Man has tried the double-cross
and is slated for a one way
trip to the river.
A Nagging Wife
Now, they promote Mac to the
Trigger Dept. which makes him
feel pretty good, but right away
his wife starts nagging him, say­ing
that he ought to rub out Dun­can
and take over the whole
works. You can readily see she's
just a goldigger, for her hands
itch so for that green, foldin'
stuff, that she rubs them to­gether
continually. Anyway, she
talks poor old Mac (who's really
chicken at heart) into going thru
with it, so he slips a shiv in Dun-
Coventry Remembers!
Tomorrow marks the anniver­sary
of the bombing of Coventry
by German planes. Exactly one
year ago tomorrow, the first Ger­man
bombs fell on this section of
England to begin one of the
bloodiest air raids of the war so
far.
can one night, blames it on the
old man's bodyguards. Mac takes
over the outfit then, while Mal­colm,
Duncan's kid, who should
have succeeded, seeing the way
the land lies, takes a powder.
Royally Run Rackets
Now, Mac starts off right, and
soon shows he has the stuff that
Big Men are made of. He organ­izes
a Peasants' Protective Ass'n,
puts the finger on Banquo, wipes
out a few more of Duncan's mob,
and altogether makes a good, re­spectable
mob-leader.
But Mrs. Mac can't stand the
big time, finally goes off the
beam, and soon passes away,
which hits the old boy hard. He's
been imbibing quite freely, and
his nerves are shot (he had the
tremblin' willies right at the sup­per
table once, when he thought
he saw the ghost of Banquo;
's fact!).
Meanwhile, Malcolm, who's
been working his way into an
out of town mob, persuades his
boys to muscle in on Mac's ter­ritory—
telling them of the rich
organization Mac's built up. So,
using Commando Tactics, they
close in on the hideout, concealed
in trees, while Macduff, their boss,
goes in alone to give Mac the
Works. The Gov't must have
taken all their gats in the Scrap
Drive, because when the two men
meet all they have to fight with
is pokers. Of course Mac is in
foul shape, so Duff has no trouble
winning by a sharp blow to the
heart, in 1:16 min. of the first
round.
After the fireworks are over, in
comes the boy, Malcolm, whom
the suckers name Boss. He makes
a fine acceptance speech and
winds every detail up except one
—what ever happened to the
porter?
Who says Shakespeare's deep?
War Eagle Cries
Pep rallies have been a bit
off this season, due in all prob­ability
to the fact that our cheer
leaders have been more or less
new to this business of run­ning
a cheering squad or sec­tion.
It seems that now they
have more or less caught on to
some fundamentals and are get­ting
"on the beam." The dis­continuance
of the pep rally
last night caused a bit of con­fusion
and perhaps the reason
was not justifiable for the act,
however, they made a substitu­tion
and held it in the Tiger
Theater, but few people could
find out about it, the sound
truck being out of commission.
Next week should see the big­gest
pep rally of the year in
preparation for the Georgia bat­tle
on Saturday. A bonfire is to
be built and all students are
asked to bring a piece of wood
to throw on the fire and add
to the coals which will be hot
enough to singe the Bulldog's
heels. The bonfire pep rally
will be held in the field on the
southern part of the stadium
and faculty and student speak­ers
will be on hand to say a
few words. The cheering sec­tion
may not have been putting
on pep rallies as they should,
but it looks as if they are going
to make this last one the big­gest
in Auburn's history and
their own cheer leading career.

Why Get Discouraged About Being Drafted CA" THIS 8 f AUBURN ALS0?
What is so bad about being drafted? Re­cently
we saw one student who had just
received his call to go into the army and
it was the cause of much of the down­hearted
feeling that he had at that time.
Really, what is the truth about this mat­ter
of getting drafted? We realize that it
takes a boy away from much that he loves.
His friends, his work, his future perhaps,
and his education are a few of things that
seem important to us as we think about be­ing
drafted. But, are these things so im­portant?
Are they really the things that
make us downhearted about this draft
business?
After a boy works for fourteen or fif­teen
years and his whole education sud­denly
drops from under him, it is discour­aging
to say the least. But, is not the task
that lies ahead more important than sitting
around moping and feeling sorry for your­self.
Is there not something for all to do be­sides
sitting down and wasting time?
We know how hard it is to leave some­one;
even after a short time together it is
sometimes hard to part, knowing that per­haps
you may never meet again. However,
the cause for which you leave should be
sufficient reason to justify the parting.
All is not lost when one is drafted. There
is much to be done and men with college
educations or parts of college educations
are valuable, now and after the war. Do
not give up. Education is fine, but the gov­ernment
officials think that you can do
more good in the army, so go there and
give them the same.good quality service
that you gave your Alma mater. Uncle
Sam deserves it . . . and expects it.
Plainsman Invites Student Letters
Every editor is faced with the same
problems that the present head of this
paper is faced with, and each editor meets
the problem in a different manner.
It is impossible for one media such as
a college paper to please all types Of stu­dents
and groups on the campus. Then
again, it is the responsibility of the paper
to try to do this supposedly impossible
feat.
We have a good idea what college stu­dents
like and enjoy and what they want
to see in their own paper. Local news, cam­pus
news, and national news are all of in­terest
but there is a dividing line between
them all as far as this type of paper is
concerned.
Then, on the campus there are always
things the reporters do not see or perhaps
the editorial writers do not see that affects
a large number of the student body.
Since we cannot see all of the "evils"
on our campus, we invite you as part
"owner" of this paper to send in your let­ters,
signed and written in good English,
your name will be withheld if yOu desire,
and we will print them or investigate your
complaints for you.
* We cannot promise to remedy all the
situations which are brought to mind, but
we feel that we can do some good along
certain other lines that may change things
for the good of the students, and the
school.
This is the only way that the college of­ficials
have of telling what the students
like, how they feel, and what they want
most of all out of college.
If you have any 4etter, complaints, news,
or congratulations, then send them in to
your paper. You will be helping us all
when you do. This is not a plea for news,
but an invitation for you to express your
own opinion in the best way possible. A.

Student Distrust Cannot Stop Elections
It must have been Pearl Harbor or some
other memorable battle which made the
students here have more distrust of one
another than ever before displayed.
The situation is indeed deplorable when
one group of students, or members of one
group of students, will not function or re­fuse
to have any thing to do with another
group on the campus. Both groups sup­posedly
working for the good of the school.
Something is wrong with a government
system that the students will not trust,
even in an election which touches only a
small percentage of the students on the
campus.
It may not be the government. It may
be only the short-sightness and narrow-mindedness
of the students themselves that
cause them to doubt whether or not an
election is going to be judged fairly and
squarely.
In a recent election, several students had
the audacity to go to certain high college
authorities and express their opinion that
the votes would not be counted in the
right manner! What good is an election at
all when the students are not going to go
by the words of the very men they them­selves
put in office? The whole system is
futile if the "shorter" people on the cam­pus
cannot see any further than their
noses. If they cannot realize that there is
nothing any student can do to change'the
ballots after they have been put in the" box,
be he president, secretary or an ordinary
"pencil pusher," then that part of their
college education has been wasted.
The politics on the campus, in our own
estimation, are clean and are carried on
with all the speed and good will that is
necessary and possible for them to do.
Our pity goes out to these students, who­ever
they may be, for after they leave col­lege
they are going to meet up with the
realities of life. One of these is that any
system that cannot delegate its authority
to others and when the people cannot trust
the very ones they elect to office it should
be changed.
We would venture to say, without know­ing
the students, that they are not used
to heavy responsibility nor are they used
to carrying out jobs trusted them by some­one
else.
The ironic part of the whole situation
as we have heard it, is that the party that
won was the very one that the students
were so afraid was going to be discrimi­nated
against.
It would have been interesting to see the
battle afterwards if she had not won. Or,
perhaps they still have a complaint to
make about the way the elections were
carried out. Is there?

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.
Since the end of the war be­tween
the Glomerata and the
Plainsman staffs the peace and
quiet which reigns in both of­fices
is downright oppressive.
* * *
Everything has changed. John
Scott, editor of the G-Book, is a
tidy soul, and the days of wading
through cast-away copy are gone
forever . . . at least until he casts
his last regretful glance about the
place.
* * *
Time was, and in my day, when
one searched under mounds of
waste paper to locate the editor,
and when a watch was set to wait
for the phone to ring to ascertain
its whereabouts.
* * *
Bills worried nobody because
once they entered the door they
were never seen again. But now
they are in plain sight, all stacked
in neat little piles.
* * *
Only one thing remains the
same. The files are anybody's
meat. While Editor Scott insists
that everything be filed neatly
away he ain't particular where
you file it, just so it's within two
hundred yards of the building.
* * *
The Plainsman office has un­dergone
changes, too, though
somewhat dissimiliar. The editor
no longer sits with his feet on the
desk, and a cigar in his mouth.
The bohemien element is lacking
in the writers. Now they do not
sit on top of the steel cabinets
throwing darts at the business
staff.
* * *
Nowadays the whole staff lines
up against the wall and chews its
nails while one lucky member
uses the good typewriter. There
is a note on the wall above this
venerable machine which says,
"This is a business typewriter.
Please do not use over three min­utes."
And George Heard's vocabulary
has diminished. He can only say
three sentences . . . "Next on the
typewriter" . . . "Where's that
copy?" . . . and "This was due
yesterday."
* * *
As for the business staff. Un­der
slave-driver Ham Wilson,
they run in furtively, hastily drop
their advertising and dash out
again.
* * *..
It's not that the genial Ham ac­tually
employs physical violence.
But it makes everybody uneasy
the way he always carries that
cat-o-nine-tails stuck in his belt.
It's just the psychology of the
thing.
* * *
Members of the staffs of the
rival publications are on extreme­ly
friendly terms. When they
meet on the campus it's just like
Homecoming and old grads. Why
Scott even offered the use of his
machine to the Plainsman staff,
his only stipulation being that
Glomerata copy alone be written
on it.
* * *
If there were a feud the Plains­man
would claim an advantage
because they possess five type­writers,
or reasonable facimiles
thereof, while the Glomerata only
boasts one.
* * *
The Glomerata would no doubt
retort that their typewriter works
. . . when it has a ribbon in it,
and when the rust is removed
from the keys.
* • * *
John Scott promises that this
year's book will be out on time
. . . positively . . . but if it isn't
the students are urged to remem­ber
that there is a war on, and
that any day now paper or some­thing
. . . may be frozen . . . or
something.
* * *
However there is no feud, so
students need not be in a state
of constant worry for fear their
favorite editor will be picked off
by snipers from ambush.

The Spotlite is focused this week on a plan for an addition to our
physical training program. Most of the students agree that the pre­sent
program is necessary and therefore take it in their stride. How­ever,
a group of students on the campus have come forward with a
"Super" P. E. plan. It would be a volunteer unit composed of men in­terested
in taking a more rigorous course of training. They would also
do special exercises, along the lines of ju-jitsu, designed to make
them better fighters. It would take the place of regular P. E. for the
men in it. Here is what some of the students think of it. *
George Whitney—Senior in Veterinary medicine. "It is a splendid
plan and I believe there are many who would jump at such an oppor­tunity.
I don't see how anyone interested in building himself up could
refuse such a request."
John "Cannon" Ball—Senior in Mechanical Engineering. "Frankly,
I believe the P. E. program should have been compulsory in the past
The P. E. we have now should be made tougher and more complete.
If this can't be done, the new plan should be tried. Few of the fellows
are in really good shape, anyway. If we don't strengthen ourselves,
the army will soon do it for us."
Doctor V. W. Lapp—Director of P. E. "I favor the plan and be­lieve
that it is worthwhile. However, the difficulty would be in set­ting
up the machinery to make it possible. This can probably be done.
The idea was a surprise to me. Most of the fellows who come to my
office try to get out of work. It was something new to find those who
wanted to do more than was necessary."
Graham Pitts—Freshman in Ag Science. "It will be a good plan if
you can find enough fellows willing to cooperate. I don't think you'll
find many who are willing to work harder, though."
Ed Bean—Senior in Mechanical Engineering. "I don't think my
opinion of P. E. could be printed."
Johnny Heard—Junior in Aero Engineering. "Anything for the
cause, as long as I can play in the band and get out of it."
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.
When someone mentioned this
to us we realized that we had
been sorta'- thinking of it all
along. This time of the year the-mostest
people we hate are the
guys who pop the acorns before i
we get to em. Two boys walking
to school at nine o'clock the oth­er
morning were very disappoint­ed
to find that someone had beat
them to all the acrons. As a re­sult,
one of them asked me to
place a formal request for admini­strative
action compelling the
boys walking to class at eight
o'clock to leave some for the nine
o'clock boys.
* * *
We suggest that the eight
o'clock boys be required to use
the heel technique. That way they
would be bound to miss a few.
But the toe technique, though
less fancy, is much more fun. I
guess that's 'cause you can feel
it more.
* * *
The credit for this story goes
to the Atlanta Journal, but we
found it. The principals were an
American and a RAF cadet train­ing
in this country. Another ca­det
was along for background, but
had no speaking line. Anyhow,
their conversation was interrupt­ed
by the hooting of an owl.
"What was that?" asked a cadet.
"That was an owl," replied the
American. "H'l know it was a
'owl," said the cadet, "but what
was 'owling?"
win at poker. Whatever hand he
had, he lost. Finally he drew five
aces, but he was scared to bet
and dropped out. It was lucky he
did, too, 'cause one fellow had six
kings.
* » *
From elsewhere we learned of
the man who walked into a bar,
ordered a Martini, poured out the
drink and calmly chewed up the
glass. After eating all but the
stem, which he threw away, he
turned to the bartender, "I guess
you think I'm crazy." "Yes," ans­wered
the bartender, "I do. The
stems are the best part."

From the Tulane Hullabaloo,
we lifted these definitions: Ac-coustics—
A stick used for playing
billiards or pool. Bewitch—An in­finitive.
Used like "I'll bewitcha
in a minnit."
* * *
In the same paper we read an
important announcement to the
effect that if you can get a five
legged cat with pink eyes and
grey whiskers and pull its tail,
it will squeal. That's what they
teach at Tulane.

We were amazed to learn that
several cities in Alabama have ac­tually
donated their 7-Up markers
to the scrap drive. And we like
to feel that it was all started by
our own Town and Campus. He
didn!t have his idea accepted at
home, but others appreciated him.
Perhaps other towns will also
contribute their old lathes in hon­or
of us.
Contributed to us was the story
of two buddies who were having
a great time drinking until one
discovered that the other was
blind. He took his blind friend to
a oculist, who was amazed to find
that the blind one was able to
read the chart perfectly. Upon
questioning them, he found that,
"Everything was okey except for
the elephants." "Oh," he said,
"you see pink elephants?" "No,"
replied' the friend, "they are
there, and he can't see 'em."
* * *
From the same source, we ob­tained
the sad, sad story of the se­lectee
who just couldn't seem to
No manner of persuasion could,

Three of World's Most Popular
Operas Will Be Presented
Tickets May Still Be Obtained at The
News Bureau Office in Samford Hall
Wearing the same colorful and picturesque costumes that
t h e parts call for in a full scale production, the four stars of
Opera in Miniature will present scenes from three of the
world's most popular operas here Tuesday evening, Nov. 17
at 8:15 in the Alumni gymnasium.
Opera in Miniature, the second
attraction of the 1942 Auburn Ar-V
tist and Lecture Series, features
Elwyn Carter, baritone; Marie
Montain, soprano; Virginia Ken-drick,
contralto; James Montgom­ery,
tenor, in scenes from "Faust,"
"Martha," and "Carmen." These
four artists who form the Opera
Quartet presents the scenes in
English with all the refinements
of phrasing and acting that char­acterize
the best traditions of
American opera singing.
These young American singers
have assimilated the bright clever
melodies of Flotow, the poetic
compositions of Gounod and the
well-rounded, individual and dis­tinctive
melodies of Bizet and
give forth this great music, ele­gantly
and gracefully, in all its
essence of truth and beauty. .
Tickets for Opera in Miniature
and for six other attractions of
the Auburn Concert and Lecture
Series to be presented here dur­ing
the months of November,
January, February and March,
may be bought in the News Bu­reau
office, on the first floor of
Samford hall and at the Loftin
Music company. Student tickets
are $1.10 and tickets for the facul­ty,
the public and high school
students are $3.30.
Auburn Graduate
Writes for Esquire
Robert Gibbons, 1939 graduate
of Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
has written a story for the De­cember
issue of Esquire. Called
"The Poor Rich Uncle," it's a
character sketch through the
eyes of a child. Uncle Roby, the
subject of the story, had such a
dwarfed, miserable soul that
someone remarked at his funeral
that it would only take a pigeon­hole
to store his soul. The child's
encounter with this character
made a lasting impression on
him, for he could never forget the
meanness of that withered soul.

"Where Is All
That Money?"
— Oct. 24, 1942
Dear Editor:
In view of the fact that I re­ceive
The Auburn Plainsman as
a compliment, having finished
with the Class of '42, it is no
doubt a bit ungrateful of me to
complain of anything which is
printed in it.
However, I feel that one Bruce
Martin should inquire as to just
what went with the money with
which the class of '42 intended to
buy and build a fish pool.
Perhaps they saw fit to put it
into United States War bonds in
order to help finance the bomb­ing
of Berlin, the taking of Tokyo,
and the romping of Rome. This
is just a hint, but it should bear
investigation.
It is understood by most peo­ple
who read "Column Left" that
it is intended to be somewhat
humorous, but there is no logical
reason for Martin to sling mud at
us while we are away in the
Army and cannot sling it back.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Underwood

Miss Jean Black, bashful juni­or
from Montgomery, has been

in the year and she will lead the
Ag dance.
Miss Black is a member of

she graduates. She is a member
of the house committee of Dorm­itory

Frances Ellis, listed as a cam­pus
beauty for two years, will
reign as Miss Homecoming at the
Homecoming festivities Novem­ber

loving cup at the game and she
will lead the dance afterwards.
She is a senior in science and
literature with special interest
in sociology. She is president of
Sphinx, senior honor society,
women's representative to the
Executive Cabinet, and she is one
of the twenty-five girls selected
to receive a medal from the in­tramural
department.
She was selected to be includ­ed
in "Who's Who In American
Colleges and Universities". She
is a member of Chi Omega so­rority.
She is one of the examples of
what young co-eds can do in the
way of extra-curricula activities
combined with a high scholastic
average. Not only participating
in various campus organizations,
but working up projects in sever­al
of them keeps her busy.
Miss Ann Sherer, the Lady of
the Plains for 1942, is a senior in
the School of Science and Litera­ture
from Quinton. Before com­ing
to Auburn she went to Jud-son
college in Marion, Alabama,
for two years, and before - that
attended Miss Hammond's school
for Girls in Birmingham. Last
year was Miss Sherer's first at
Auburn, and the fact that she
was elected Miss Auburn is evi­dence
of her popularity here.
She is not particularly interested
in sports, though swimming is
one of her favorite pastimes.
Boys and studying fill most of
her time. Miss Sherer is a mem­ber
of Kappa Delta sorority.
Miss Sherer is a petite blond,
who fills the role of Miss Au­burn
gracefully. She is a worthy
goal for cake race aspirants to
strive for, as it is Miss Auburn
who publicly plants a kiss upon
the lucky winner of the annual
race.
As Miss Auburn, Miss Sherer
will be called on for other duties.

Graduate of Class
Of '42 Tells Of
Special Navy Course
DO YOU DIG IT?
(Editor's note: This article was
written by a former Auburn stu­dent
for The Birmingham News,
and contains much vital and in­formative
material in which the
male- students of Auburn should
be interested. Cain graduated
from the Class of 1942 and by now
has received, his call for the pre-flight
school.)
By CADET P. M. CAIN
The naval air corps for several
years, has been recognized by
aviation authorities as the most
complete flight education a man
could, seek. Prior to the war a
pilot's full course of training re
quired from 11 to. 15 months.; at
that time a naval aviation cadet
went through a course preparing
birh for all types of naval avia
tion including fighters, dive-bombers,,
scout and observation
work and long range patrol
bombers.
Now, however, by allowing
pilots to specialize in certain
types, primarily, but also by us
ing a mass system of ground
school, the navy has speeded up
their course of pilot instruction
so that it is possible for a man to
receive his wings within a year of
his admission to the corps.
To see what takes place as an
individual in this course of train­ing,
let us take from the files the

First Recruiting
Cadet Henry L. Cason, of Bes­semer,
came to the recruiting sta­tion
in Birmingham about the
middle of June and requested full
information on, the naval air
corps. He said, he had first been
attracted to this branch by the
exploits of Lt. Comdr. "Butch"
O'Hare, whom the president had
recently decorated. At the station
he was told he must be of. the
age 18 through 26, be a high
school graduate, and. be single.
Qualifying in these respects,
"Hank," as he is known over Bes­semer
and_ Birmingham, took the
other material they gave him
home for examination. After
thinking it over, Cason presented
himself again at -the recruiting
station ready to go. He was given
the coarse preliminary mental
and physical test.
Passing this he was sent, at
navy expense, to Atlanta where
he took the final tests of mental
aptitude and physical ability and
was sworn into the navy as a nav­al
aviation cadet. He returned to
Bessemer to await his call to duty.
In early July, Cadet Cason was
sent to Howard College to take
his elementary flight training, or
CPT, as it is known to many. This
phase of training is more an in­doctrination
into service than
anything else. Here the cadet
learns to fly in a light plane, the
65 horsepower model so popular
with amateur fliers; here also he
goes to elementary ground school
where he learns the fundamentals
of air navigation, meteorology,
math, physics, and code. When
Cadet Cason completed t h is
course he was given the equiva-

Auburn Rated As Underdog in L S. U. Fight
Auburn Stars Back
In Lineup This Game
Alvin Dark Will Be Back in Game for Bengals
While Clayton, Fletcher, and Harkins Play
By CHARLES SCALES
Facing their second foe of the year in Legion Field to­morrow,
the Auburn Plainsmen definitely hold the under­dog
roll on the bass of their last week's walloping defeat at
the hands of the Georgia Navy Pre-Flight's star studded team,
as they meet the vaunted Bengals from LSU.
Only a few weeks back the Louisiana boys swamped these
same Navy stars 34 to 0 in a one sided scoring spree led by
Alvin Dark, LSU's triple threat terror. In view of the Pre-
Flight club's 41 to 14 win over
Auburn this, if you stick strictly
to figures, rates LSU 61 points
better than the Plainsmen. How­ever,
from all reports Coach
Meagher's boys have never be­lieved
in pre-game ratings and
their best battles in the past have
been against suposedly superior
forces.
With Carl Fletcher back in the
lineup, after several weeks on the
sidelines due to the severely
wrenched knee he received in the
Florida game, the Tigers should
open up with an even more in­tense
aerial assault than they
launched against Georgia Pre-
Flight. Canzoneri and Fletcher
snagged several beautiful passes
Saturday for quite a bit of yard­age
and proved in the meantime
to many disbelieving fans that
Auburn does have an aerial at­tack
to be accounted for. This,
coupled with the ground work of
Gafford and Reynolds, who are
credited as being one of the most
powerful running combinations in
the conference, should offer plen­ty
of misery to the Bengal de­fenses.
Different Passers Tried
Several different men have
been tried in the passer's spot
during the last few games, but
Clayton, Gafford, and Harkins
will no doubt bear the brunt of
the work in this field in view of
their past success. Taking the ball
from the center at his quarter­back
slot in the "T" formation
setup Clayton faded to shoot sev­eral
long aerials during the Navy
game which caught the defensive
backs napping. With additional
practice during the past week,
this pass, along with the numer­ous
others in Coach Meagher's
system of plays, should prove ex­tremely
dangerous tomorrow on
a dry field.
Costellos and Cornelius
Guarding
In the line Captain Costellos
and Jack Cornelius are ready at
the guard spots following the ter­rific
pounding they faced at the
hands of Suffridge and Hicker-son
Saturday, while Mark Rainer,
the greatly improving, senior util­ity
man who shifted from his post
at fullback last season to the left
tackle slot early this year, is a
likely starter along with Eddins.
Grimmett and Fletcher, or Barton,
will handle the starting assign­ments
at the flanks, while Jim
Pharr is back at his old pivot
post.
In the backfield Coach Meagher
will probably center his attack
around Gafford at left half, Fin­ney
at the wing position, Rey­nolds
in the fullback slot and
Clayton, now fully recovered from
injuries which have handicapped

Tiger Has "A
Yank at Eton"
Putting Mickey Rooney and
Freddie Bartholomew together
again in the same picture, for the
first time since they've outgrown
the knee-pants stage, was an­other
clever stroke by Hollywood.
And the two boys, directed by
Norman Taurog, the screen's not­ed
director of young stars, came
through like the real troupers
they are in Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer's "A Yank at Eton."
The new picture will be the
Sunday and Monday attraction at
the Tiger Theater.
Rooney, Hollywood's number
one star, again shows how versa­tile
he can be on the screen. Most
of the time in "A Yank at Eton"
he* is hilarious. At other times, he
gives a portrayal dramatically
tense.
Mickey is the center of the
story, as a typical American boy
whose hopes of going to Notre
Dame are shattered when his
widowed mother marries an Eng­lishman,
and he is enrolled in ex­clusive
Eton.
With a chip on his shoulder,
contemptuous of his new sur­roundings,
he gets into one pre­dicament
after another, and fin-nally
gets "sacked," after taking
the blame for smashing the
housemother's car.

weeks, at quarterback.
Alvin Dark, Scatback
According to news from Baton
Rouge sophomore Alvin Dark,
\fhose swivel hips and accurate
slinging arm wreaked so much
havoc among LSU's earlier foes,
is nearly in top condition again
following his two weeks of in­action.
Dark was seriously in­jured
in the Tennessee fracas and
as a result was unable to aid the
Bengals in their conquest of Ford-ham
last Saturday. With Dark in
the backfield, ably supported by
Glamp and Harris, the tiny scat-back
who so efficiently replaced
Dark against Fordham with his
vicious running, Auburn may
count on another afternoon of the
wide open brand of football
which they ran into along with,
the Skycracker aggregation in
Columbus.
Louisiana State will be at a
slight disadvantage in view of
their recent two week road trip
covering several thousand miles.
However, Coach Bernie Moore re­ports
that his boys are now in top
shape generally and with a week's
rest on their home grounds the
Bengals should be ready physi­cally
for a great game.

SPEs DOWN PI KAPPA PHIs,
WIN TOUCH FOOTBALL CROWN
Passing Combination of Curlee and Scruggs
Clicks for Three Touchdowns in 19-0 Win
By BILLY HILL
Sigma Phi Epsilon captured the finals and the coveted
football trophy for the third time in five years Wednesday as
they downed a fighting Pi Kappa Phi team in the final round
of the interfraternity touch football tournament by the score
of 19-0.
The teams had previously play­ed
each other in the second round,
and the SPEs were victorious by
the margin of one point. The SPEs
made all their points on three
passes. Billy Scruggs, playing left
end, did all the scoring for the
SPEs on passes from Jack Curlee.
The Pi Kappa Phis had a well-rounded
team and played good
ball, but it was not up to the
standard that they had set
throughout the season. All-Star
selectee Masters, at guard, was
the defensive bulwark of the team
while Fain, Reddick, and Butt
carried the offensive burden.
The SPEs got off to a quick
start as they scored in the first
two minutes of play. Scruggs in­tercepted
Fain's pass on the Pi
Kappa Phi 30. Jack Curlee passed
to Harris Bodden for 22 yards to
push the ball to the eight. A pass
to Rains was incomplete, and then
Curlee tossed to Scruggs in the
end zone for the score. Masters
blocked the pass for the point.
The battle waged throughout
the first half with no other score
being tallied. Early in the third
period, the SPEs pushed over
their second marker. Cribb set the
play up as he intercepted Fain's
pass on the 45 and ran to the 35.
Curlee tossed two incomplete pas­ses,
and then tossed a beautiful
one which traveled 30 yards to
Scruggs on the 5 and was carried
over. A pass, Curlee to Scruggs,
was good for the extra point.
The last score came in the
fourth quarter as Jerry Bodden
intercepted a pass on the Pi Kap­pa
Phi 40 and returned it 10
yards. A series of passes to Cribb,
Jerry and Harris Boden moved
the ball .to the 5. Curlee shot a
pass to Scruggs over.the goal for
the six-pointer. Morgan attempt­ed
the point from placement, but
the kick was blocked by Masters.
The Pi Kappa Phis drove deep
into SPE territory several times.
Their best drive came in the

Coaching the Navy eleven will
be Chief H. H. Wilks, who re­ports
a light but scrappy team of

sailors are enthusiastically behind
the game, having come to the
stadium en masse to practice
cheers and yells.
Coach' Grubbs, of the high
school, has a well-rounded ag­gregation
which has improved
steadily throughout the season.
Last week, the Baby Tigers tied
a strong Sylacauga f team and
showed plenty of power in doing
so. Auburn High's injuries have
been rather few this year, and
the team will meet the sailors in
good physical condition.
Adding to the color of the par­ade,

Football Sidelines
By JOHN HARVEY THOMAS
Several promising first year men, who've proven that they're big
league material, have been getting the once-over by mentor Meagher
this past week with the probability of sending these youngsters
against LSU this Saturday.
In every practice session this week, the "gentleman" has had
new men running along with the first team, not as a morale-booster,
but because they deserve it.
Mark Rainer, a converted fullback, has been seeing service at
first string tackle this week. Zac Jenkins and Curtis Kuykendall
have been pushing Charlie Finney every day. Cy Kirsch played
such a bang-up game against the "Skycrackers" that he's been ad­mitted
to the "quiet corps," along with "Babe" Gendusa, who's all
but pushed Aubrey Clayton out of his first string job.
When Auburn played LSU last year, there were but few re­serves
that Coach Meagher could rely on; but this year's team of­fers
an entirely different story. The coaches will have two good
teams to shoot at the Bayou Bengals.
* » *
Six Auburn seniors will be playing their last game before the
homefolks in Birmingham Saturday. They are Capt. Vic Costellos,
'Fagan" Canzoneri, Jack Ferrell, Joe Eddins, Jim McClurkin, and
Billy Barton; or should we say—"the bulwark of the Auburn line."
* * »
For the first time since the Chattanooga game, the Auburn team
has no injuries to worry the coaches. Ty Irby and Aubrey Clayton
are in fine fettle and are ready for full-time duty if necessary.
« * *
The Auburn freshmen have lost two heartbreakers—all within
one week's time. Last Friday the Baby Plainsmen lost to the Teck
Jeeps 13-7; then last Wednesday night our freshmen scuttled a
game with Georgia's "Pups" 18-13. Their final standing reads: one
game won, one tied, and two lost.
Fred Knight, who had done no coaching whatsoever before hand­ling
the freshmen, has turned in a rather remarkable job for his
first year as a mentor.

lent of a private license. This
training was given him at navy
expense, though the cadet was
still maintaining his civilian sta­tus
as a part of the inactive re­serve.
Pre-Flight Duty
A few weeks after completing
CPT, Cadet Cason was ordered to
active duty for completion of his
training. His station is now
Athens, Ga., in what is known to
the navy as pre-flight school.
Your writer received a letter a
few days ago from one of the ca­dets
stationed there; his comment
on the Georgia Pre-Flight School
was "physical conditioning is the
No. 1 consideration."
Perhaps you have seen some of
the many pictures and reports
from these pre-flight schools; if
so, you know that the cadet en­gages
actively in sports such as
boxing, football, swimming,
wrestling, obstacle course, jiu-jitsu,
handball, basketball, and all
the sports designed to develop
physical agility, endurance, sta­mina,
and strength, as well as ini­tiative,
cooperation and ingenu­ity.
Not all this course is physical;
the cadet also has time to go
more fully into ground school
work as mentioned above.
In the Navy Now
After pre-flight school, Cadet
Cason will start into his flying for
the navy. All the training he has
been through was only leading up
to this. In his first training, pri­mary
flying, he learns to fly all
over again, in planes of greater
horsepower, more maneuverabil­ity,
and capable of performing the
acrobatics of much larger planes.
On completion of this course, the
cadet is moved onward and up­ward
to even better planes. It is
on completion of this advanced
flying training that he receives his
wings and is commissioned ensign
in the United States Naval Re­serve.
Now comes the training in spe­cific
types of aircraft. Let us say
Cadet Cason is placed in pursuit,
or fighter, types. He learns to
land on the deck of a carrier, to
protect himself in combat, to plan
his own methods of attack, what
to do in the event he is forced
down at sea, weak points in the
flight and armor of Messersch-initts,
Zeros, and other craft of
the enemy.
On completion of this final
stage in the training our erstwhile
cadet, now an ensign, is ordered
to duty with the fleet. He has as­similated
the navy's store of book
knowledge, he has gotten all the
instructors can give him; it is now
up to the new fighting pilot to
learn what only experience can
teach him.
Auburn Frosh Drop Qose One
To Georgia Bullpups, 18-13
The Auburn Freshmen lost a
thriller and a heartbreaker to the
Georgia Bullpups Wednesday
night in LaGrange, Georgia, by
the score of 18-13. After a score­less
first half, the Georgia frosh
pushed over three scores before
the Baby Tigers could get to their
feet. Then with only six minutes
of playing time remaining in the
game, the Plainsmen racked up
two touchdowns and almost added
the third and winning one.
A fumble by the Auburn team
set up the first score; after taking
possession of the ball deep in Au­burn
territory, t h e Bullpups
scored on a pass from Gatewood
to Miller which traveled for 18
yards.
The Bullpups scored again in
rapid order as Cagle got off a bad , _ . . _ . ,

Auburn came to life here as
they netted their first score on a
pass from Cagle to Gains which
traveled from the Georgia 45 to
the fifteen where Gains ran it
over.
Only two minutes later, Auburn
capitalized on a Georgia fumble
on the Georgia 24. On a single
pass, Cagle threw to McClurkin
over the goal for a six pointer.
The Baby Tigers just didn't
