              ENLISTMENT PROGRAMS OPEN TO STUDENTS
Army, Navy, Marine
Corps Offer Plans
Colonel Waterman Releases Requirements
For Obtaining of Reserve Commissions
Full information on enlistment in the Army, Navy, and
Marine Corps Reserve which applies to Auburn students was
released today by Col. John J. Waterman. The stipulations,
as set forth below, represent the joint agreement of the Sec­retary
of War and the Secretary of the Navy.
No Freshmen for Navy
1. No enlistments in Naval Re­serve
will be made from the
Freshman Class.
2. Enlistment in Naval Reserve
from the Sophomore class, will not
be made until after selection of
students for Advanced ROTC.
Selection of Advanced ROTC will
be made three months prior to
completion of Sophomore year.
Arrangement for enlistment in
Naval Reserve will be made im­mediately
after selections are
made for Advanced ROTC. Ac­tual
enlistment will be completed
at the termination of the Sopho­more
year. Students previously
enlisted in the Army Enlisted Re­serve
Corps and do not accept
enrollment in Advanced ROTC,
will on application of the individ­ual,
be discharged for the purpose
of enlisting in the Naval Reserve.
3. A limited number of ROTC
graduates may be commissioned
in the Naval or Marine Corps Re­serve
as agreed by the Secretaries
of War and Navy. These will in­clude
the following:
(a) Students who are desired
for commission in the Regular
Marine Corps, (b) Students with
special engineering training who
are desired for commission in the
Naval Reserve for use in ship­building
and similar programs,
(c) Students who for special rea­sons,
such as being sons of Naval
or Marine Corps personnel, de­sire
to be commissioned in the
Naval or Marine Corps Reserve.
Examination Given
4. A qualifing examination will
be given to all students during the
second college year. The. exami­nation
for those students enlisted
in the Naval Reserve will be dif­ferent
from that given men in
the Army Enlisted Reserve in
that the Navy examination will
include mathematics and physics.
As a result of this examination,
the following action will be taken:
Those men in the Army En­listed
Reserve who do not meet
the required level will be called
to active duty as enlisted men
and given the same opportunity
to qualify for commission as
other enlisted men. Those stu­dents
in the Naval Reserve who
do not meet the required classi­fication
level will be governed by
the regulations of the Navy V-l
Accredited College Program.
For Army Reserve
Following is the complete in­formation
for Auburn students on
enlistment in the Enlisted Re­serve
Corps, U. S. Army, as
stated by Colonel Waterman:
1. Students of Freshman and
Sophomore classes may make ap­plication
for enlistment in the
enlisted reserve. Approximately
220 Freshmen and 150 Sopho­mores,
including those to enroll
September 8th, will be selected.
The following requirements are
listed for information of students.
(a) Citizen of United States.
(b) Possess the necessary basic
qualities for a commissioned of­ficer.
(c) Pass physical examination
required for commission.
(d) Over 18 years of age.
Exceptions for Induction
2. Students who are enlisted in
the Enlisted Reserve Corps will
not be subject to induction for
active military service prior to
graduation except as follows:
(a) Students who are separated
from the institution for any rea­son,
except transfer to another
participating institution.
(b) Students not taking Ad­vanced
ROTC who fail to grad­uate
with the class with which
they normally would graduate.
(c) Students who fail to meet
the prescribed level in the quali­fying
examination, or who are
deemed by the Army not to have
shown the necessary qualifica­tions
to become probable officer
material.
3. Upon graduation, students
who are enlisted and physically
qualified will be assigned as fol­lows:
(a) ROTC Advanced course will
be commissioned in accordance
with existing regulations.
(b) Non-ROTC will be ordered
to active duty and sent to near­est
Replacement Center of the
Arm or Service of the Army for
which they are best qualified.
When successful completion of
normal course of training and if
otherwise qualified and selected,
they will be ordered to proper
Officer Candidate School. Upon
successful completion of this lat­ter
course, they will be commis­sioned
2nd Lieutenant in the
Army.
Still Eligible for Advanced War
4. Men who enlist in the Re­serve
Corps will be permitted to
apply for enrollment in Advanced
Course ROTC. Men now or later
enlisted in Air Corps Reserve may
apply for enrollment in Ad­vanced
Course ROTC, and if se­lected,
will be required to take
the course under Paragraph 20,
A. R. 145-10 (at their own ex­pense).

Here's Some More of That Auburn Spirit
That old "Auburn Spirit" has come up again. At
least it seems to be coming up or being kept down or
something. See what one student says about it on page
two.
Also on this page you will find a correction and a
few facts about our co-op program the school offers
those students who want to work and study alternat-ingly.
It should be enlightening to many of you.
Several Fraternities Hold Social Functions
Several fraternities will hold the spotlight this
week in the absence of a dance. They will have swim­ming
parties, house dances, and picnics to keep up the
variety. See page three.
What the different churches are doing and having
this week will be found on this page also.
The Latest Things in Sports—Softball
There have been several close games this past week
in the Intramural fraternity softball program. "Hits
and Misses" will give you some of the details and other
statistics will be found on page four.
A list of the new library books will be seen on this
page and many new and different books have been
added. You might try them and see for yourself. A
book that will interest everyone.

The first regular Corps Day
of the Summer Quarter is
scheduled for tomorrow at elev­en
o'clock. All ROTC units will
form on the road at their reg­ular,
positions. Uniform will be
cap, gray cotton shirt with in­signia
attached to collar, belt,
trousers, black socks, and
black shoes. The lie will not be
worn, and top shirt button will
be left unbuttoned.
DANCE PICTURES

the dances in the past weeks are
in The Auburn Plainsman office
for the owners to call for them.
If they are not wanted please
notify the office.
War Eagle Cries
"Variety is the spice of life"
says one old proverb and it is
as true now as it was when it
was first quoted. In a college
student's life variety is essen­tial
in his daily activities if he
is to be healthy, mentally and
physically. Some students come
to college and just sit. Some
study while sitting and others
manage to get / in a few bull
sessions and others do still less.
Regardless of the students'
personality there is something
for him to do on this campus
without wasting his time and
life. The daily round of activi­ties
should not be limited to
one or two things, but should
cover as many as possible to
keep them all from becoming
boring. You say that you do not
have time to do all the study­ing
you have to do; try taking
on one or two extra-curricula
activities and your time and
variety will automatically in­crease.
Common sense will de­cide
when you have had
enough for the present. Then
stop and see how much fun
work and study can be.
IT'S THE LATEST THING AND IT AIN'T HARD! !
.
Here is the first contingent of the Auburn A. E. F. as they took the first obstacle in the newly
completed Obstacle course. These students, part of the civilian unit in the Physical Training
course, continued on to the next "obstacle," running up hill and down hill, over small streams and
under fences and finally finishing the course by running up a hill to the finish line where they
started. The course is not particularly hard or difficult, but there are very few students who
finished that were not winded slightly.
Bond Dinner To
Be Held Here
Next Friday
Next Friday, July 17, Auburn
will have it's first War Bond
Dinner with the tickets for the
dinner being a $100 War Bond.
The Dinner is being sponsored by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
and B. Lowe will be the local
chairman in charge of arrange­ments.
The dinner will be along the
same lines as those recently held
in Birmingham and Atlanta which
gained nationwide publicity. Al­ready
20 War Bonds have been
purchased for the occasion and
many more are expected to ap­pear
soon for their purchases. If
the attendance reaches the heights
that is expected more than $10,-
000 will be added to the Bond
sales.
Serving with B. Lowe on the
committee for the arrangements
will be Mr. G. A. Thomas, Rob­ert
Ingram, Kermit Hill and Bill
. Richardson. The date that has
1 been set is only tentative at the
present but it is known that it
j will correspond to American
i Heroes Day, which will be cele-

For Flight Training
Ten Additional Trainees Will Arrive In
Auburn Soon for Civilian Pilot Program
The revised Civilian Pilot Training P r o g r am has been set
into operation on this campus. Of the 30 full-time trainees
scheduled for this program, 20 have already reported for duty
and the remaining ten will do so in the near future.
The revised CPT program is working in close cooperation
with the Army and Navy, giving the initial flight training to
thousands of young men in scattered portions of the nation,
relieving the services of much preliminary instruction and
releasing materials and experienced men for other more ur­gent
tasks.
brated nationally for the first
time this year. The Dinner will
be used for the double purpose
of honoring men in the service
and selling more War Bonds. The
dinner will be held in one of the
restaurants in Auburn.
Chairman Lowe has promised
an interesting program with an
out of town speaker and a free
show at the Tiger Theater im­mediately
after the Dinner is
over.
Evolution of Hitchhiking
Art Is Related by Students
By ALBERT LOEB
As we all know, hitchhiking has
been an integral part of the life
of the Auburn student as long as
there has been anything to hitch
or anywhere to hike. Learning
the tricks of the trade and man­ners
and etiquette on the road
was as much of the new fresh­man's
education as was his Eng­lish
or history, and, perhaps, in
his opinion at least, more. The
weatherbeaten old war hat was
a familiar sign at every country
crossroad or main artery of traf­fic
all over this section of the
country, and stories of how much
"we beat the busses" were many
and varied.
Now, this cherished way of
life is about to pass into the ages.
With the all too well-known
shortages of gasoline and rubber,
people are cutting down on their
traveling, and more and more
Auburn thumbs are futilely wav­ing
on deserted roadsides; and
through the shortage has not been
too acute as yet, it would be a
poor prophet who could not fore­see
Auburn men stooping to the
indignity of paying their way
home. Never has the future
loomed so black and ominous. The
worst part about the situation is
that the student is powerless to
do anything about it; all he nan
do is put on his war hat, stand
on the corner, and hope.
Throwing himself to the tender
mercies of the passing motorist,
the hitchhiker, in these troubled
times, is in a sense, appealing to
car owner's very sense of patriot­ism.
For is not the government
asking each car owner to fill his
car each time he takes the road
that he might help conserve val­uable
rubber stores? Naturally,
the fact that the hitchhiker has
no rubber or anything else to con­serve
should not enter into the
discussion. The point is that each
motorist should do his part in
aiding national defense, and
picking up poor, exhausted
thumb-waving Auburn boys is as
good a way as any we here at
school can think of.
Now it remains for us to make
the motorist realize his obliga­tion
to his country and the long
suffering finger fanners from
Auburn, and that is another story.
So still the students stand and
wait along the deserted highways
and byways of our great nation
hoping against hope that the fu­ture
may hold in store for them
something better than moldy bus
' tickets ands bumby train rides.

Everything Has Improved But the Spirit? p i i r. 'NEXT EXERCISE WILL BE DONE . . .'
Is Auburn custom disappearing? In
these past few years the size of our school
has increased, many buildings have been
added to the campus, the enrollment has
bounded upward; and, as a result of all
this expansion, it seems that the old cus­toms
of Auburn are withering. Symboli­cal
of the degeneration of the Auburn tra­dition
in the past few years is the recent
removal of Auburn's renowned petrified
stump. The old stump, center of much ro­mance
and legend and an Auburn land­mark
for over 50 years, was cast aside to
give the campus a more beautiful and ef­ficient
appearance. So it is with other
tradition, the wearing of rat caps, avoid­ing
the front gate, speaking and smiling to
other Auburn students. As our school and
town are enlarged these fine old customs
are sacrificed and forgotten in order to
produce a more efficient system, in order
to save time.
An individual school's own customs are
the things that distinguish it from any
other place; it is Auburn's tradition that
makes our school Auburn. These old prac­tices
give every Auburn student some­thing
to hold in common with his fellow
students, something to remember many
years later. These traditions give us a
school to love and without them we would
have merely an institution which we at­tend.
And yet we cast them aside in the
hustle of our now busy and cosmopolitan
lives.
It will be a difficult task to preserve
these fine ideals with our school enlarging
as it is, a difficult task to remain friendly
with our town growing so rapidly, but it
will be a task with which the Auburn stu­dents
are capable of coping. Will the fra­ternities
adopt a more vigorous policy of
enforcing the wearing of rat caps at all
times? Will the A Club more efficiently
lend its aid to prevent the freshmen from
entering by the front gate? Will the Build­ings
and Grounds department haul back
and plant our petrified stump?
The freshmen and upperclassmen must
be educated to speak to and smile at each
other; everyone must cooperate. We must
preserve the Auburn tradition! J.M.S.

"Summer School" Not So Bad After All
Despite a general moaning and groan­ing
and gnashing of teeth prevalent on the
campus before the beginning of the pre­sent
term, Auburn's newly instituted
quarter system has thus far met with suc­cess
to a degree which exceeded all ex­pectations.
When the plan was first announced by
the administration, the general feeling
was that the system was a necessary evil
which would be most inconvenient for all
concerned. Since its inception, however,
many of the minor difficulties have been
smoothed over, and the system, though
still far short of perfect, has reached a
commendable degree of efficiency.
The main objections to the system that
the average student had were the mono­tonous
regularity of the classes, the total
absence of cuts, and the physical training
program. Though practically everyone re­alizes
the necessity of these measures, it
is only human nature to find something to
complain about, no matter how minor the
issue might be. The main purpose of the
plan is to accelerate the regular four and
five year courses and, naturally, lax meth­ods
and absences from classes do not fit
into this scheme.
Also, the physical training program,
which was criticized and censured by prac­tically
the whole student body when it
was undertaken, has developed into a ser­ies
of activities which almost every stu­dent
realizes will do him quite a bit of
good. Sore muscles have emphasized the
need of such a program.
Auburn's acceptance of this wartime
program is clearly shown by the fact that
about seventy per cent of the regular en­rollment
is present at the summer session.
This is, by far, the largest number ever to
attend summer school here.
In spite of the fact that it has disrupted
the regular activities of many of the stu­dents,
the summer quarter should do a
lot toward making the quarter system the
success that those who devised it intended
it should be. A. L.
Co-op Program In No Danger of Extinction
In a previous issue of The Auburn Plains­man
we (published an ^editorial which,
much to the misfortune of several students,
could be interpreted two ways. This parti­cular
editorial dealt with the co-op stu­dents
and their inability to get Advanced
Military Training in the future.
We regret very much this error which
was not meant to be such. If anything the
exact opposite is true. Rather than the co­op
course being dropped from the college
(as many believed) more courses are be­ing
added and the enrollment in all of the
co-op courses is expected to be larger than
it has ever been.
The college has added four new courses
to the co-op plan and these courses are
not in the School of Engineering. Pharm­acy,
industrial management, agriculture
and banking, and business administration,
which includes secretarial training, are
the four latest additions to the curricula
of this department.
With these additions the enrollment in
the co-op plan cannot help but increase.
It has long been the desire of many stu­dents
who were not mechanically minded
or inclined, to have some course by which
they could work their way through school
and not have to worry or ruin their health
so much.
At the present time there are about 187
co-op students in school in this section. In
the other section there are about 247 stu­dents.
Last semester the Vultee Aircraft
Corporation opened their co-op plan and
we now have 15 students there. All of these
plus the new students that will enroll in
the old and new co-op courses will raise
the total to well above the average in
peace time.
Co-ops have made up an integral part
of this campus in the past and there is
every indication that they will continue
to do so in the future. They have students
in most of the honor societies on the cam­pus
and some of the most outstanding men
in school have been co-ops.
Again we say that we are sorry to have
misinformed some of the students and the
faculty. This was due entirely to the in­terpretation
of the editorial and we hope
that this arcticle will clear up any mis­understanding
that has been caused.

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.
The nice things we said about
Hades Daquiri and her product
go as before, and we still plan
to keep our share of the bargain
as to subject matter for columns;
but we have a protest. Does that
female think that the mere fact
that she is a mathematician
should place a male in the realm
of Quandriatics?
* * *
Her comments upon coiffures
reminded us of the new hair style
now most popular with boys—the
"I met an Indian" style. You
know, scalped.
* * *
We were pleased to learn that
a former Auburn student has
broken the record for the obstacle
course at Fort Sill. However, rum­or
bears out our conviction that
not only records will be broken
on Auburn's new course of the
same name.
* * *
We haven't run the course yet;
but we read the description, and
we have a good idea as to how
the race should be run.
* * *
The first obstacle, a four foot
fence, should present no difficul­ties,
since the only restriction is
that you must not hurdle. You
are at liberty to use a ladder, tun­nel
under, or take an ax and
crash through. Take your choice.
* * *
An eight foot board wall should
not be so very difficult for the
average student. All of us have
seen baseball games at one time
or another. But don't let the open
space three feet from the ground
fool you; you can't crawl through.
* * *
Next you come to three logs.
No fair going under this time, you
gotta' hurdle 'em. And that means
no vault, no flat-foot, no western
roll, no squat, no stoop, no squint.
You hurdle.
The next maneuver consists of
crossing the creek. Seeing no bet­ter
way, you jump across. Then,
after running around in the woods
a while, you realize that you
could have walked across on your
hands. But before you can do
this you have to get back on the
first side.
* * *
You find some planks across
the stream, so you use these to
get back. Now you decide to play
games before you cross over. You
play ring-around-the-rosy using
posts for rosies and using no
hands just to show off. Then you
go on and cross the creek on your
hands.
» * *
The twin brother of your four
foot fence now shows up. This
one's not so particular, though;
you may hurdle this'un if you
can.
* * *
The final obstacle is so easy a
baby could cross it. There's a
fence to pass, and since you are
probably so tired at this point
that you can't stand up, you don't
have to. You roll under.
* * *
Then it's up the hill back of
the stadium, and you're through.
That is, all except for running
the whole course again.
* * *
Our nomination for the reddest
face of the week goes to a chemi­cal
engineering student who
spends so much time in the build­ing
that someone asked him why
he doesn't put a bed in. Just as
one of his professors walked up,
he replied, "I do sleep here from
eight to eleven every morning."
* * *
We now let Phil, the Postal
Poet, in to have his say:
I would like to hit hard,
On the place where a spanking
should be,
The vacationing lass whose card
Reads, "Dear Phil,
Wish you were he."

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.
I think "Column Left" is the
finest column I've ever seen.
* * *
It has been intimated that I'm
trying to_start a feud with a cer­tain
radical. Oh, gosh I like radi­cals.
Maybe its just because I'm
mathematically minded, but any­how,
I like 'em.
* * *
On the subject of studying . . .
in weather like this I have found
that concentration is made simple
as well as refreshing by standing
under a cold shower with my
book propped on the faucets.
* » *
John Bruce Martin has the
nicest temperament of any little
boy I know. He's awful sweet!
» * *
Another good way to study is in
a cold tub of water, with someone
reading the lesson to you while
you doze. In that way the sub­ject
matter is retained by the
subconscious mind. Any psychol­ogist
will tell you that the sub­conscious
never forgets, therefore
it is painless and 100% efficient.
* » *
Bruce Martin is the prettiest
boy on the Auburn campus!
Well, anyhow he's awful pretty
. . . don't you think so?
* * »
Even less painful is the method
of spending the afternoon at
Chewacla, studying by remote
control . . . very remote. This
seems to be the most popular
with Auburn students.
* * *
Bruce says the cleverest things.
Honestly, I just don't see how he
does it.
* » *
To burn midnight oil is a time
honored custom with students.
After a little research I discov­ered
the proper technique. One
goes to bed with an apple and a
book, with only one bed-lamp
burning. (This gives one a bus­iness-
like feeling that can't be
equaled). One then falls asleep
gently without turning off the
lamp. At six o'clock the next
morning one awakens and says
in an awed voice, "Gee, I studied
all night long." Then one brags
for two weeks. The results of
these methods can be . . . oh,
excuse me, please . . .
* * *
John Bruce is just the cuh-yu-u-
u-utest thing I've ever known.
Did you hear that joke he told
the other night? Well, never mind.
* * *
Now where was I . . . oh, yes,
the results of these methods can
be noted on test day as follows:
1st method, 0; 2nd method, 0;
3rd method, 0; 4th method, 0.
* * »
And now I'd like to express the
heartfelt appreciation of all of
us for the sailor who wrote "Navy
Blues" in Tuesday's issue. Who­ever
he is should certainly come
out and take a bow. We'll be ex­pecting
him at the next serenade,
which will probably be tomorrow
morning at seven. We will be
ready with the applause.
* * *
We really like the sound of
those cheery voices. At least, I
would never make my eight
o'clock classes during the week,
nor my eight o'clock quizzes
Saturday morning, nor church
Sunday morning. It does me good
to get up Sunday in time for a
three-hour sun bath before church.
And I'm being serious. I have no
desire to start a feud with the
whole Navy.
* * »
Speaking of feuds . . . I do here­by
nominate John Bruce Martin
for Miss . . . I beg your pardon
. . . Mr. Auburn, 1942 model.

And now for more of WOMAN
OF THE WEEK. Margaret Kil-burn
qualifies for head gal in the
Intelligence Corps. She has had
the highest average among the
women students for the past two
years. Not a book-worm, she def­initely
finds time for activities.
Sailors' Life
By DAVID ALLEN
Editor's note: As begun two issues ago, The Plainsman will present
to the student body a form of a character sketch of one of the naval
trainees stationed here.
This week we would like to present to you Second Class Seaman
John Richard Love, formerly of Flint, Mich., but now of the U. S.
Navy and, at present, Auburn.
Born at a small town about -ten miles from Flint, he moved into
the city while still young. Finishing high school there, he enrolled at
the University of Pennsylvania for two years.
Then, having enough of schooling for a while, he went on the
road as a traveling salesman for a wholesale lumber concern.
Four years later, he went to the New York's World Fair with the
Buick Division of General Motors. There, for a couple of years, he
lectured to the wondering crowds on the workings and merits of the
Buick products.
Under selective service he was classified as 4-F, which, as many
of you boys are aware, is not a classification likely to be called to
active service. But the nation was at war. Since the navy offered
more opportunities for advancement and less opportunities for walk­ing
than the army, he enlisted in that branch of the forces. The fact
that each person in the Navy receives a specialist's training in some
field seems to be one major point in John's liking the Navy.
"I like Auburn. It's a grand little town, but a great deal different
from the larger cities that I have been accustomed to. One certainly
has to rearrange one's sense of values.
"I have met many nice people here, and they are very hospitable.
I believe that we are better treated here than at any other training
station. And the boys appreciate it, too.
Love has seemingly been interested in sports most of his life, even
though he has been too busy with his studies while here to enter in
many of the sports activities. He has played two years of baseball and
three of football, winning his numerals in the latter at the Univer­sity
of Pa.
Town and Campus
By LEONARD HOOPER
One day last week I had the opportunity and the need for going
all the way through the main library. I gave the lady at the desk the
necessary information, and she gave me permission to go on through
the library alone.
First of all, I went right behind the desk into the stacks. Remem­ber,
you don't just walk on behind the desk: you tell the desk clerk
the kind of books you are looking for, and he will help you. In the
stacks are technical books on almost any imaginable subject, ex­cept,
of course, engineering, art, agriculture, architecture, chemistry,
and veterinary medicine, which are in the school libraries of the
various schools, respectively.
My peek at the stacks took me on upstairs, where I saw the period­ical
stacks, in which are filed bound copies of all the newspapers and
magazines which the library keeps for your convenience. These may
be called for downstairs at the desk. In the stacks, the ceilings are
low, because all the stacks are located one exactly above another.
The aisles are directly above one another, too, which can be seen
on an upper floor by the light coming through the cracks between
stack and aisle.
Directly across the hall from the upstairs stack is a room in which
are received all the periodicals. A week's supply of, say, New York
Times, comes all in one package. There were quite a good many
packages of papers and magazines in this room. The current periodi­cals
are downstairs- on the pariodical shelves and in the periodical
room.
Besides the main rooms,, there are a large number of rooms for
conferences. In these rooms, different teachers who have the same
subject to teach may get together to coordinate their assignments
and classroom work.
Besides the small conference rooms, there are, in various locations
all over the building, supply closets, and work rooms, where the books,
papers, and magazines are catalogued and repaired.
In a wing to themselves, at the left, are the reading rooms. This
wing is a fairly recent addition: it was built in 1940, while the rest
of the library is considerably older.
The fiction reading room is the ground floor room, the largest
single room in the entire building. Directly under it is the reference
reading room, which is as long and wide, but not quite as high as the
fction reading room. Both these rooms have bookshelves between
and under the windows, to supplement the shelves in the main refer­ence
room.
The main library is open throughout the day and evening for your
convenience. Use it, let the attendants help you, and notice the extra'
benefits you receive from your college life.

Graduate Now
In U.S. Navy
John R. Hill, formerly of Au­burn,
is now in Athens, Georgia,
taking the United States Navy's
Pre-flight training program for
physical conditioning, preparatory
to entering one of the Navy's
primary flight centers.
Hill formerly resided in Au­burn
on Pinedale Road and while
in Auburn studied mechanical
engineering. He was a member of
the golf team here and completed
the basic ROTC training course.
He is now engaged in a stiff
three-month conditioning course
as a member of Platoon Three,
Company "B". When he finishes
this course he will be sent to one
of the Navy's primary flight cen­ters
and then on to advanced
training and finally to an opera­tional
base. His entire pilot train­ing
period will cover 12 months.
The Navy has established four
Pre-Flight Schools o v e r the
country in an effort to condition
the pilots before they begin their
period of flight training. Besides
the school at the University of
Georgia, others have been estab­lished
at the University of North
Carolina, the University of Iowa,
and St. Mary's College in Calif­ornia.
When the Pre-Flight School
reaches its full strength it will
include approximately 1,900 ca­dets,
200 officers and instructors,
and 125 enlisted personnel.
Cadet Hill is a member of the
first class to enroll in the Athens
school.

The first class of graduates from the Radio School of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute will be leaving soon after this is published for
different places of duty. Among them will be a boy who owes his
successful completion to sheer grit, courage, will power, and the
ability to take it on the chin. When he reported for duty here this
boy was sick. An infection had caused the joints of his legs and arms
to swell and he could hardly walk. The doctor looked him over,
put him to bed, and recommended him for transfer to a Naval Hos­pital.
When this man was called in by the Captain and informed
that he was to be transferred, tears came to his eyes and he asked
for a chance to remain. The Captain felt sorry for him and told
him to go back to his cottage and then gave the word around that
this man could attend school until transportation to the hospital
could be arranged.
We watched him hobble to school each day and all of us pur­posely
forgot about transferring him. Pretty soon he was getting
better and somehow or other he managed to get by in his examina­tions.
The short of it is that this boy is graduating, not at the
top of his class; but with the magnificent stamina and courage al­ready
displayed we know that he will be a winner. This story has
the same moral lesson as the famed fable of the tortoise and the
hare. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we publish the
name of this boy, Kenneth G. Belden of Wichita, Kansas.
The school is grateful to the hospitable Auburn women who so
graciously entertained the wives of some of our sailors attending
the school. Some of the sailors are fortunate in being able to bring
their families here during the short period they are at the school.
Many local business men and women have given employment to these
girls and thus they are able to remain with their husbands for the
full time that he is here. All of these women are home builders,
the wives of the best type of citizens, and come from all over the
United States. From a financial standpoint, they are not able to rent
homes and return invitations as they would like. Auburn is small
and many of these wives live in rooms. If you have ever lived in
a single room in a strange town without a job and even with a job,
without much in the way of entertainment, you know that this is
not exactly a pleasant life.
Some more nautical words and their meaning. Ahoy, was once
the dreaded war cry of the Vikings. In our modern Navy it is more
or less a questionary hail. When a ship is at sea the lookouts sing
out "Ship Ahoy" when another ship is sighted and give its
relatvie position. For instance "Ship Ahoy" "Where Away" "Three
points off the starboard bow" would mean that a ship had been
sighted on the starboard (right) side of the ship three points off
the bow which would put it ahead of the ship. In port boats are
hailed "Boat Ahoy" by an assistant to. the officer on watch. The boat
would answer with the name of the ship to which the boat belonged,
and also informed the officer of the deck as to whether she was just
visiting, or had distinguished guests who would require that honors
be rendered.
Aye Aye, is old English for "yes". In our modern Navy it is used
in reply to an order or command and means three things, to wit,
that the order or command is understood, that it will be obeyed, and
that if perchance some unforeseen event should prevent obedience,
a report will be made to the person giving the order.
Blue Peter, was once used as a recall flag for all men to return
to a ship, signifying that the ship was about to sail. In the modern
Navy many old time sailors refer to boat and aircraft recall pen­nant
as "Blue Peter."

War Department
Eligible Under Plan
Not only are Uncle Sam's en­listed
men giving their lives or
bending every energy to the win­ning
of the war, but they are al­so
buying millions of dollars
worth of war bonds every month.
Under the Class A Pay Reser­vation
Plan, full information on
which has been received by the
military office here, members of
the Military Branch and civilian
employees of the War Department
are enabled to save money out of
each month's pay in a regular,
systematic plan to build up a re­serve
or nest egg for the future.
The minimum which an enlist­ed
man may ask to have reserved
each month is $1.25, or any mul­tiple
thereof. Officers, army nurs­es,
and others may not reserve
less than $3.75 a month. Many of­ficers
and enlisted men of the
Army are already buying $25
War Savings Bonds every month
at a cost of $18.75 each.^ This
amount increases to a value of
$25 in ten years' time; $37.50 will
grow to $50; and $75 to $100 by
the end of this period.

At the same time the Phi Delta
Thetas nosed out the TEPs in an
extra inning of rain drenched
play. Plagued by absent players
and frequent errors, the Phi team
came back after a very slow start
to win by a 11 to 10 margin. The
game was filled with numerous
slides and falls on the slushy
diamond, and this no doubt had
much to do with the terrible field­ing
on both teams.
Turning in the first no hit, no
run game of the current season
Hollingsworth, backed by error­less
fielding, blanked the Pi
Kappa Phi batsmen to bring the
Sigma Nus through with a 9 to 0
victory Tuesday. Leading at the
plate for the victors John A.
Smith rapped out three for four
during the afternoon.
Withering under the terrific
pace set by the PiKas, a powerful
SAE team went down in defeat
7 to 5 the same afternoon. Both
teams were playing nearly per­fect
ball, and the winner was
really in doubt until the last sec­ond.
In fact the SAEs were stop­ped
with three men on base as
the game ended. For the PiKAs
Reid led at bat with two safties
against five times up, while Al­lison
headed the SAE stickmen
with two for three.

No-run, No-hit Game
By JIMMIE DAVIS
As the s o f t b a l l campaign
reached its third week of play a
few teams can be spotted as
leaders of their various leagues.
Play will continue until one team
is crowned champion of the en­tire
curcuit. As yet nothing def­inite
can be said as to the lead­ing
team and anything can hap­pen
with a little luck handed to
several outfits.
Dr. Lapp, head of the Intramur­al
Department, notifies us that
several vacancies have been found
in their personnel department
and anyone interested should no­tify
him at once.

over SAE by a count of 7-5, Sig­ma
Nu, with the second shut out
game of the season, over Pi Kap­pa
Phi the final result being 9-0,
SPE put on a batting spree to
down the OTS boys from vet hill
with a 12-3 margin, in the final
game the ATOs were victorious
over a hustling Alpha Gamma
Rho squad 8-6.
Stahnke only allowed five hits
as he pitched the PiKAs to their
second straight win, third base­man
Gaylor led the winners with
two safe bingles. Hubbard pitched
steady ball for the SAE team who
made the game close all the way.
Making twelve hits good for nine
runs, the Sigma Nu team piled
up a wide margin over the usually
hard hitting Pi Kappa Phi ag­gregation.
Outfielder Smith had
three hits to lead the batting for
the winning team.
Scoring in the early inning and
building up a score they never
lost the SPE boys made it two
wins in a row as they defeated
the OTS squad 12-3. Six errors
hurt the losers' chance badly. The
winners had big innings in the
fourth and fifth when they scored
five times each inning.
In the close game of the week
the ATO boys fought off a late
rally by the SAE team to come
out on the best end of a 8-6
count.
Tuesday's Game

Making ten hits good for seven
runs the PiKAs subdued the SAE

Dr. Santon Is
Speaker At
Convocation
Women Students Are
Reminded of Their
Place in War Effort
Dr. Adolph Santon, who is tak­ing
Dr. John Watkins place in
the Sociology Department dur­ing
the summer quarter, spoke at
Women's Convocation last night.
His subject was "The College
Woman's Part in Present War
Progress, a Problem that Should
Not Be Taken Lightly."
Dr. Santon reminded the wom­en
students that the type of work
now being done by the women
includes many agencies that have
employed women for some years,
and many others that have added
them to their personnel only in
very recent years. Among those
mentioned were: nursing, both in
the service nursing corps and on
the home front, librarians, and
social workers. All of the agen­cies
are asking for women trained
and educated for the positions.
The figures given by Dr. San­ton
show that of the eight and
one-half million persons in war
work, one million of these are
skilled women. Britain had 25,-
000 women in the fields of the
country, cultivating the all-im­portant
food crops. Women are
needed in every field from home
economics to astronomy.
The advice set forth by Dr. San­ton
to the women students was
to do a better job, to put forth
more effort. It is very important
to become highly specialized, and
to develop skills.
Now, better than ever before,
so the speaker stated, the women
of our nation can help brothers,
sweethearts, and even fathers in
the winning of this war.
What can students do in col­lege?
Surveys show that the girls
with highest academic records are
most successful. That should leave
no doubt in the minds of the stu­dents
as to the course to be fol­lowed
by them while having the
chance to get highly specialized
education.

"Two Yanks In
Trinidad" To
Show at Tiger
O'Brien, Don levy,
And Blair Star In
New Attraction
When Pat O'Brien and Brian
Donlevy "get mad" at each other,
during the hectic unreeling of Co­lumbia's
"Two Yanks in Trini­dad,"
they reserve for themselves
the right to knock each other's
block off. And in that fact, ac­cording
to a delighted Hollywood,
lies a major reason for the cheers
and excitement, the fun and frolic
(and free-for-all fisticuffs!) of the
new comedy.
The embattled warriors are in
uniform while carrying on their
own private feud, but they join
forces readily as soon as a greater
conflict interferes, gladly re­nouncing
"for the duration" their
right to undisturbedly knock each
other's block off.
"Two Yanks in Trindad," which
opens Sunday at the Tiger Theat­er,
is also distinguished by the
stellar presence of lovely Janet
Blair, comparative newcomer to
the cinema scene, as a sultry cafe
siren. She provides the added fuel
which causes the O'Brien-Don-levy
conflict to flare high, wide
and handsome. Gregory Ratoff,
himself a master of the comedy
arts, directed "Two Yanks in
Trinidad" with thoughtful atten­tion
to its many thrills and sus-penseful
sequences, so that the
new film is said to emerge as a
well-rounded example of motion
picture entertainment at its best.
