BANQUET SCENE: MACBETH SEES GHOST OF MURDERED BANQUO Tigers Will Revenge Last Two Games Monk Gafford Will Again Lead Tigers As Jim Reynolds Gives Him Ail-American Aid By JIMMIE DAVIS Birmingham, here we come. The familiar battle cry of Auburn will be sounded in the magic city for the initial time this season when the Tigers meet the high flying staters of Mississippi. Coach Allyn McKeen has whipped together a strong team this year, spearheaded by Blondy Black, the running sensation. The game, probably the most colorful in the Southeastern Conference for the week, MtSS AUBtJEN T© BE ELECTED THURSDAY War Eagle Cries It may be late in the day to be thanking some one for a favor extended to this campus, but it is better late than never. The favor was the one the Howard College students did for the Auburn Baby Tigers when they played in Birmingham for the Clinic game several weeks ago. This school volunteered to send their cheer leaders to the game and helped the Auburn fans at the game cheer their "baby" team on to victory. And, from the looks of the picture that appeared in the paper, they really did a swell job of picking the cheering leaders. We thank the Howard students and appreciate all that they did and the trouble they went to in our behalf. Some day perhaps we, of Auburn, can return the favor. Nominations Must Be in by Monday Of Next Week The second campus-wide election to select one of Auburn's prettiest co-eds will be held next Thursday when the Executive Cabinet sponsors the election of "Miss Auburn." Any girl is eligible for nomination provided she is enrolled in school here. Nominations for the girls must be turned into Jimmie Butt at the Pi Kappa Phi house by Monday of next week before 6:00. There will be four ballot boxes on the campus through which the students may vote. One will be at the student center, another on Ag Hill, the third on Vet Hill, and the last one in Ramsay Engineering Building. Students are asked to observe all the election rules which are printed below and all students who wish to vote will have to present their athletic books at the poll. Miss Auburn is not altogether an honorary position on the campus, as are many of the so-called beauty offices. She will be the beauty whom the ODK-Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race winner will get to kiss and she will be required to perform other duties throughout the year. Last year Miss Margaret McCain was elected "Miss Auburn" over several other popular co-eds. The election rules are as follows and all candidates must observe them to the fullest extent: 1. Any means of campaigning by a candidate or her supporters other than personal approach renders the candidate ineligible. No candidate may distribute free merchandise or have circulars or cards or other advertising printed and circulated in behalf of her election. The election committee will decide cases under these provisions subject to approval by the Executive Cabinet. 3. Anyone found guilty of unfair practices at the polls shall have his voting privilege removed by the Chairman of the Elections Committee. 4. Unsigned ballots will be thrown out. 5. There shall be no .voting by proxy. Reserve Boards Will Be Mere Monday, Nov. 2 A recruiting party with representatives from the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps will be in Auburn Monday, November 2, for the purpose of completing the enlistments of students in the reserves of these branches. Direct enlistment in the Navy and Marine Corps Reserves will be limited to non-ROTC Juniors and Seniors, while all freshmen and sophomores must first enlist in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps. Freshmen and sophomores who so desire may join the Army Enlisted Reserve with the reservation that they will be allowed t6 transfer to the Navy or Marine reserves at the completion of their sophomore year or if called to duty prior to that time. The Army recruiting representatives will be located in the armory in the basement of Samford Hall; the Navy representatives will be in the room next to the President's Office, Samford Hall; and the Marine Corps in the Air Conditioning Room on the first floor of Ramsay Hall. All necessary forms for enlistment should be completed before the arrival of the recruiting party. The blanks may be obtained from Kirtley Brown, Armed Forces Representative, in Room 104 Samford Hall. ON THE CAMPUS Scabbard and Blade Members of Scabbard and Blade who will attend the game with Miss. State at Legion Field, Birmingham, will hold a flag-raising ceremony on the field at 1:45. Dean Spidle Speaker Mrs. Marion Spidle, dean of women and head of the School of Home Economics, will be the principal speaker Tuesday evening, Nov. 3, at a meeting of the Auburn Householders Association in the New Classroom Bulding. Dr. J. V. Brown, director of student employment and housing, urges that all members of the association attend the meeting. Newman Club Meeting Tuesday evening the Newman club gave a Halloween party in the clubroom at 240 E. Magnolia. Members and their guests were present for dancing and other activities. Ladies of the parish served pie, cakes and coffee for refeshments and assisted in the entertainment. This is one of the many activities planned for Catholic students throughout the year and active members urge all Catholic students to participate. Meetings are held every Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the club room. Horseshoe Entries All entries for fraternity horseshoes must be turned in to the Intramural Office by Wednesday of next week. After Wednesday it will be too late for the teams to be included on the brackets to be drawn up. There are to be six men on each team. barring the Alabama-Georgia tilt, will flash two of the best backs in the south in Auburn's "Gone with the wind" Gafford and "The Blond Blizzard" of Mississippi State. At this point, we would like to take time out to praise the work of the entire team against Vil-lanova, and especially that of Sophomore Babe Gendusa, who stepped in to fill the shoes of the injured Aubrey Clayton and played a bang up game. Gendusa was pratically a demon on defense. The state team, fresh from a 26-12 win over Florida will pit a big and powerful eleven against Auburn, one capable of striking accurately on ground and air. Should Monk Gafford have a good day, State will find the going plenty tough. Incidentally, Gafford is the boy about whom Alabama's coaching staff has remarked, "We could beat any team in the country with a back like Gafford". Clipper Smith of Vil-lonova was very pleased with the fact that Gafford would not face his teams anymore after this year. Aubrey Clayton, first string quarterback who was injured in the Georgetown battle has been pronounced ready for action Saturday. Coaches Meagher and Hertenberger drilled the Plainsman hard this week and the squad is reported to be in good physical shape. Carl Fletcher, end from Gadsden, Alabama, who was injured in the Villonova game has reponded well to treatment and will be ready for service against the Delta State Boys. We'll bet the fireworks will really blast in Birmingham Saturday with a private score being calculated Gafford. Probable as follows; AUBURN Barton between starting Black and line-ups are MISS.

Copernicus To Be Honored by Free Nations Next Year On May 24, 1943, the world will celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Nicolas Copernicus, the great Polish scientist. Today for the first time in 575 years the alma mater of Copernicus, the University of Krakow, has been closed by the invader. The Kosciuszko Foundation, which since 1925 has endeavored to promote Polish culture, especially in the United States, plans toNfeature the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Copernicus, because the modern period of science popularly dates from his death, because Poland is associated with the United States in the war of survival, and because the United States contains several citizens of Polish and Slavic extraction, who would be honored in the honor paid their fellow countryman. SPEs Defeat Delta Sigma Phi to Win By Score 13-12 A superb Sigma Phi Epsilon team emerged victorious in the first round of the Interfraternity play-offs by barely nosing out the Delta Sigs by the slim margin of an extra point, 13-12. Both teams had entered the play-offs with spotless records as each had won four, lost none, and gone unscored on. The Delta Sigs drew first blood early in the game as they made their initial score on a drive which began about midfield and carried to the four by means of passes to&and from Walch and Califf. The drive was climaxed as Walch tossed to Sims for the score. The attempt for the point was knocked down by Cribb. The SPEs retaliated for this score in the second quarter. They took a Delta Sig punt on their own thirty and began down field. Curlee tossed to Scruggs for sixteen yards and moved the ball to the 46. Again Jack Curlee was on the throwing end as Bill Rains took a pass which was good for fourteen. Scruggs was on the receiving end- again as Curlee completed one for 10 yards to the Delta Sig 30. Then on a beautiful pass from Curlee to Harris Bodden in the end zone was good for 30 and the score. The attempt for the point was ruled bad. The SPEs again scored in the third period and provided the margin necessary to win the game. Walch kicked to the 40. Curlee threw three passes to Outlaw and Rains and moved the ball to the 11. Curlee was rushed fast on the next play and was forced to run, carrying the ball to the 3. A pass completed from Curlee to Rains provided the score. The extra point was good on a pass from Curlee to Cribb. The Delta Sigs came close to tying the game again in the last period as they moved the ball to their own 45. Califf took the pass from center, started running around his own right end, cut back over tackle, and ran the entire 65 yards throught the SPE team to bring the Delta Sigs in easy reach of tying the game. Walch tossed to Dupree for the extra point but Dupree was Pi Kappa Phis Win From Sigma Chis In Overtime Period A strong Pi Kappa Phi football team establshed itself as one of the leading contenders for campus football honors Thursday afternoon as they downed Sigma Chi 1-0 in an overtime game. The game was nip and tuck throughout, with each team having a touchdown called back. The Pi Kapp margin of victory came as they completed all four of their passes to pick up a total of 40 yards, while the men of Sigma Chi could gain but 20. Fain was the passing and kicking star for Pi Kappa Phi, while Ogletree and Reddick were his main receivers. Mastin and Donovan did the hurling for the losers with Marsh, Burroughs, and Ellis doing the catching. The Sigma Chis started off in the first quarter with a potent passing attack, but they booged down about midfield and Donovan booted to the Pi Kapp 15. From that point the Pi Kappa Phis started a drive which carried them to the Sig 15 before a pass was intercepted by Burroughs. Again the Sigma Chis seemed on the move, as Mastin connected with passes to Burroughs, Cottle, and Donovan successively. Fain's interception ended the threat and he punted out to Mastin as the half ended. The second half rocked along with neither team able to tally. Brown of Sigma Chi stopped one Pi Kapp drive by tagging Fain 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, ' while Mastin stopped another by an interception. The Pi Kapps were again on the march as the game ended. The Pi Kappa Phis were not to be denied in the extra period as the dependable Fain found his receivers for four completions. Mas-tin completed one to Marsh for Sigma Chi, but the Pi Kapp margin was too great to overcome, and the game ended with a 1-0 victory for Pi Kappa Phi. tagged on the one yard line and then crossed the goal so the try was ruled no good and the Sig Eps advanced one step and will play the Pi Kappa Phis in the second round. Page Two T H E A U B U R N P-lTA I N S M A N October 30,1942 " Whailaya MEAN one Utile rubber golf ball wasn't worth fighting about!" v-m-%* Prawn for Office of War Information Hitch-Hiking Almost a Pastime Now The Editor's Desk . . . Many are the unheralded organizations, societies, groups, and honoraries on the campus that do good work and yet re-., ceive little, if any, commendation or praise for the part which they add to Auburn. One such group is the Intramural Board which handles the various sports between the fraternities and independent groups. On this page there is an editorial written by a member of this board and presenting one side of the many arguments which naturally present themselves during football, softball, and other games played by the fraternities. It is not easy to work up schedules for the different teams to go by, divide and find students to referee the games, teach the students how to referee, get them out there, work up the points, and decide in their own estimation who are the best players on each of the teams on the campus. Since war has started and our Intramural Board and students have worked hard and long to give the undergraduates more and better opportunities for minor sports, we believe that they are adding much to the college and campus and deserve more recognition.- ~ - * * * Another group that has done more for Auburn, as for as publicity is conderned, is a group which a majority of the students were in favor of, but few of them thought it would, or could, work here in Auburn—the Crack Drill Platoon. Ideas for Auburn's Crack Drill Platoon were born when Auburn met Clemson in a Homecoming game here a couple of years back. Clemson brought their outfit down here and really put on a show that made the fans stand up and cheer. Scabbard and Blade was the organization that took it upon itself to take the challenges of the student body to let Auburn have a Crack Drill Platoon and formed a unit which they called the Freshman Crack Drill Platoon. Colonel George Austin was first in command with Captain Charles Dubberly second in command. After a year's efforts, in which the student body had almost forgotten about the Platoon, one bright day they made their appearance and gave a performance that those who witnessed it will never forget. Since that time the fame of the Platoon has gone far and wide. Everywhere they go their fame has preceded them and their performance is acclaimed as one of the best. An example of this sentiment was displayed last Friday night in Montgomery when several announcements were made that the Platoon wished the public not to applaud until after the show was over. Instead, they could not hold it back and roll after roll of hand clapping came down each time they did some intricate movement or made some snappy maneuver. They are truly giving Auburn a good reputation, not only with the students, but with the citizens in every town in Alabama in which one or more residents have been privileged to see the Crack'Drill Platoon's performance. * . * * The football team is a third group of students which spread Auburn's fame far and wide over the country. It is natural that a team that plays the hardest, or as hard a schedule as any other team in the country, be thought of as a miracle team when they come along and scare the daylights out of the ranked favorite by all the experts. But, there is something else that distinguishes our team from those of most athletic teams which travel over the country from game to game and town to town. Chesterfield once said "that manners make the man" and this quotation certainly applies to our football* teams. Auburn teams however are made of different stuff. They never eat without a coat and tie. If they have a sweater they still don that coat. Their hair is usually combed or at least reasonably so, and when they wear their coats, their collars are buttoned and their ties pulled up in neat order. None of this souvenir business for the Auburn Plainsmen either. On rare occasions they have been known to leave a hotel room bare of all soap, towels, and ash trays to take back as a reminder of the trip. But, instances of this type of conduct are rare indeed. This is what type man Auburn has. The roughest and toughest group of men on the campus and spreading the best reputation that even the college fathers could spread or expect. The war is taking away one of the most absorbing pastimes of thousands of boys all over the country and putting a new kind of thumb on the side of America's highways. We all remember back "when," only a year ago, the highways swarmed with almost empty autos and even if the drivers were poor Samaritans, the law of averages guaranteed you a ride soon. We've ridden by thumb thousands of miles. A professor from Georgia's Medical College, a salesman of auto parts, a truck driver conveying Florida's out of season vegetables to Newark, and a Quaker farmer going to market are some of the interesting people composing a cross-section of American drivers in our memoirs of the highway. -Though we've enjoyed every minute, and sometimes hours, spent on a lonely highway, we'll always claim that hitchhiking for us has been a matter of convenience rather than choice—convenience on our bank-account as well as preference to crowded buses. There has been a great change in the kinds and amount of highway hosts, as well as their less fortunate quests, though not as much here as in the rationed area. It's no unusual sight to see men in overalls carrying lunch boxes, and thumbing toward a nearby Brewster plant or to see an entire family in the suburbs of a city looking for a ride downtown. But more important to us is the driver's attitude towards khaki and blue. Fifty soldiers may find convertibles to take them out of Columbus before you, who forgot your.war hat, finally flag a Model A, and sometimes the sailors here receive priorities over the delegation at College and Magnolia. We are all glad to concede our "first come" rights to the armed forces for we realize we too may soon be a government worker and then we'll want the same priorities. While we can still travel, we must preserve the honor of the Auburn Thumber's League. So far this year there have been two major violations of the courtesies due our hosts and fellow travelers. Both were well editorialized in The Auburn Plainsman. We must remember that the benevo-lence of our host is because he believes that our only motive in wanting a ride is to get somewhere, rather than to enjoy his cigarettes, radio, and the gadgets in his jalopy. If any unintentional damage is done to his car by us, it's our duty to him as well as to our friends who may want a ride with the same host later on to rectify the damage. In memorium to an American tradition, let's remember to be gentlemen on the road. A. S. PI a i n s T a l k By HERBERT MARTIN Still a Lot Students Can Do With Bonds Lately, with the war growing increasingly more expensive, our government has been doing all it can to increase the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. Of course, having been exposed to the campaign for about two years, the average citizen is well aware of the benefits of this sort of investment and the importance of placing a regular amount into the purchase of bonds. But still the income from bonds and stamps has not been equal to the overwhelmingly heavy cost of the war. So the financial bosses of the nation have wracked their brains to find means of inducing the average citizen to buy his share of these stamps and bonds. On the campus we are more or less exempt from the payroll savings plans, county quotas and the like which tend to encourage people toward buying their share of bonds. We have been doing a little toward helping the war effort such as buying dime stamps at dances, and perhaps picking up an occasional stamp here and another there, but there are still many unexploited ways which could bring in untold amounts of valuable revenue, besides giving the purchaser an investment in the safest stock on earth. For example, . the practice of giving war stamp corsages at dances has been adopted by a few groups but needs more general acceptance to do any real good. Also, the idea of giving stamps as favors for house guests, for such as fraternity house parties, and as prizes and favors, should be cultivated. A way which could bring in huge amounts of revenue could be attained in requiring the purchase of a ten cent stamp with each admission ticket to a movie, or similar place of amusement, rather, than the tax now assessed. And there are innumerable other ways of giving each individual a chance to do his part. It is hard indeed to make students convert his ready cash into stamps and bonds, but if any painless methods of doing this could be devised, they would benefit both the purchaser and his national government much more than the person buying the stamp would realize at the time. A. L. 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. Just this once, and that'll be all. Word of honor. It's kinda hard to get out of the habit. * * * And this is only to give you an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a wonderful, revolutionary, new enterprise. * * * It's new! It's radically different! Every war produces something new, and this, this time, is it! * * * It's the latest thing from the battlefields, improved in every way, and a "must" if you're packing your bag for a trip to an induction center. * * * It's the Martin Bomb Diverter X2, with many new features, but the same built-in principles of quality which has made the XI model a favorite with men in the service for over 20 years. * * * This small protector, operating orr-a magnetic repelling principle, offers positive and absolute protection against all types of bombs up to four tons, shellfire, and small arms fire. It is absolutely guaranteed on a money-back basis, and satisfaction is practically assured. » * * If you desire these items for Christmas presents to men overseas, write immediately, enclosing $2.40 in stamps or coin, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, as the gifts must be mailed by Nov. 1. * * * If the Bomb Diverter ever fails to give complete protection, just return it personally and you will not only get your money back, less ten cents to cover costs of wrapping and mailing, but also a free gift of a fur-lined pewter syrup pitcher for those Sunday mornings at home. * * * And if you need a refund, you can bet you'll be spending Sunday mornings at home. * * * We haven't had a dissatisfied customer in 20 years, or at least no complaints. * * * Any resemblance of dissatisfied customers to persons living is purely coincidental. * * * Also just off the presses is our new battle map for use in following the war situation. To facilitate corrections for rapidly changing boundaries, the map is perfectly blank and corrections are made with invisible ink. * * * If you don't have any of the ink on hand, rush down to your neighborhood Nazi spy tonight and replenish your supply. * * * Also new is our little Handy- Dandy tire tool, for removing tires and tubes from wheels. It works equally well on all makes of cars, and the principal advantage of this little gadget is its absolute silence in operation. * * * But you must promise not to use this on tires or tubes belonging to anyone else. * * * We also haye almost ready for the market a new type of synthetic rubber which is not only synthetic, but also sympathetic. Because of a temporary shortage of basic "materials, this product is not available for public consumption just now. * * * Principal ingredient is India rubber men, who have been exceedingly unpatriotic to date. * * * We are also working on a new inner tube made frorif tube roses, but experiments have not been entirely satisfactory, and the product does not meet our usual high standards of quality. * * * "But," says Karrie, the Kamp Kutie, "we'll gladly swap you a dozen tube roses for an old inner tube, and you can conduct your own experiments!" Co-ed Personalities By MAVIS WIDNEY Give Intramural Referees an Even Break The games, football, basketball, softball, or any other sport played by fraternities, independent teams, or other organizations on the campus are refereed or supervised by members of the intramural board. This board is composed of students who have the qualifications for handling all sports. They do their best to referee all games conscientiously and without prejudice or favortism. A few players, and it is to these few that this article is written—have the idea that the referee is against them. This idea is entirely wrong. The members on the intramural have two main objectives in mind—to provide fair games and to keep down injuries. Naturally we are human and are bound to make mistakes. We may call a man out when everybody else sees otherwise, or fail to see a man touched by an opposing player, but we do our best to prevent this occuring. Once a decision is made by a referee he does not change his mind. So if those who do not like the referees and those who just like to gripe will bear these facts in mind things will run a lot smoother. > R.

FWICTORY BUY UNITED STATES WAR 130NDS AND STAMPS October 30, 1942 THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN Page Three New Course In Camouflaging Offered at API Course of Landscape Architecture Changed To Meet War Needs A new department of landscape architecture which emphasizes camouflage, housing and similar subjects related to the war effort has been formed in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Although a course in landscape architecture was founded at API 12 years ago, it has only recently been expanded into a five-year course and made a separate department. This department now has the only course in landscape architecture in the South that fulfills the requirements of the American Society of Landscape Architects. "There is an increasing shortage of trained landscape architects at present due to the neect for them in site planning, camouflage and similiar war work and after the war the shortage will be even greater since trained men and women will be needed to plan and direct the rehabilitation of the war-torn world," declared Professor Alfred Edwards, who is in charge of the new department. "Therefore, a sound training in peace-time landscape architecture is also being offered at API," he said. "And while young men are engaged in active warfare, it is an opportune time for young women to receive training in landscape architecture so they can take an active part in planning the world after the war is over." Under the present quarter system the five-year course can be completed in four calendar years of study.

"This is nearer to 100 per cent response than the record made by any other profession," Dr. Mc- Adory reported today. "The veterinarians of our own state are registered almost 100 per cent to serve when and where the government may need them. "However, advice from Washington indicates that all veterinarians should stay on the job and take care of their present work Wood, until they are actually heeded elsewhere.

Merlo Speaks On War and Art "Art is a vital part of that combination of things which have saved the world in the past and will continue to preserve the ideals for which we, as Americans, are fighting for today, for war is destruction and art is creation," declared Joseph R. Marino- Merlo, assistant professor of Applied Art at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in a speech on "Art in Wartime" given before the Womans Club in Gadsden Tuesday, October 27. "Art is diametrically opposed to war and its forces. Art, as a freedom of expression, .can exist only in a condition where a right of expression is granted. Therefore Marine Officer Here Two Days Major A. M. Rabbins, heading a Marine Officers selection board from Marine State Headquarters, will be located at Alabama Polytechnic Institute on November 2 and 3rd. The board is selecting men for Marine Officers training. All men under 30 years of age and having a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts or an allied degree, or taking a course of study that leads to such a degree are eligible for Marine Officers training. Fighting Marine Officers are trained at Quantico, Va., where on the completion of ten weeks of intensive training men are commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve with pay ranging from $210. to $245. per month, special allowance for uniforms. All men qualified are urged to contact the selection board, which also examine and swear in all men that are selected for the Marine Officers' classes. the artist knows that this war has to be won, since the freedoms for which he stands can flourish only in a democracy," Professor Marine-Merlo continued.' "Art is not a thing, it is a state of mind and is inherent in all human beings. Pre-historic man began to decorate the walls of his cave, his weapons and himself before he began to build another shelter. The communicative urge appears as a natural instinct of man. He seems compelled to express his emotions, his thoughts, his beliefs." The speaker pointed out that everything employed in this war today—cannons, shells, airplanes, ships—has been designed and drawn by some type of artist/ "Our government has created a Bureau of Publications and Graphics under the office of War Information in order to have a concerted mobilization of the efforts of various types of artists at a crucial time like this. Millions of posters are created and distributed over the country because posters are one of the most effective means of communication to at least one-third of our people," the lecturer said. In conclusion, Professor Mar-ino- Merlo said that the one sure thing in this war and its outcome is change. No longer can we wake up yesterday, we must wake up tomorrow and art is a vital part of our civilization and of mankind. ment office has the record and qualifications of every veterinarian on file in Washington for reference when and if he is needed."

The idea of creating one national basis of recognition for students, which would be devoid of politics, initiation fees, and dues, was conceived more than ten years ago. After two years of research, correspondence, travel, and interviews with college officials, personnel managers, and others, to determine whether there was a need for such a publication as "Who's Who", the first book came into print, for the school year of 1934-35. The purpose of "Who's Who" is two-fold. First, to serve as an outstanding honor in which a deserving student, after displaying merit in college and accomplishing his goals, would be given recognition without having to pay some fee; Second, to establish a reference volume of authoritative information on the entire body of America's leading college students. Membership in "Who's Who'' serves the purpose of summing up all the other honors, scholastic or social, that he has attained. Inclusion in the book involves no obligation. This book is then placed at the disposal of business men in the United States and Canada so that they may have information concerning prospective employees. A file is kept on the students chosen for "Who's Who" and is referred to when trying to place these men and women. As soon as a student expresses a wish to become affiliated with any company his complete record is sent to that company.

The purpose of this book is to provide an incentive for students to get the .best results from their college experience, to compensate students for what they have already achieved, to set up a standard of measurement for students comparable to other recognized scholastic and> service organizations, and to recommend successful students to the business world. The students which are selected are chosen on most campuses by a committee of faculty and students; in some other instances a more individual method of selection is used; while in still other colleges the nominations are made by one or two high ranking college officials with one or two assistants, faculty or student body members. The committees, regardless of form, have certain requisites for membership which each candidate must meet before he or she can be considered for membership in "Who's Who." Principal among these requisites are character, scholarship, leadership in extracurricular activities and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. Contrary to opinion, juniors as well as seniors are eligible for membership in the national organization. Membership in "Who's Who", it is believed by the editors of the books, will be of special benefit to the college students who are still in school today. After the war there will be a period of readjustment on everyone's part and employers everywhere are going to want to know which men are the best suited for the jobs they have to offer. It is the purpose of the book to enable these employers to aid in their selection of new men after the war has terminated. The book will act as stabilizing agent for this country which will be in a J trying period of readjustment and will offer employers and manufacturers the most promising candidates for employment.

Our Duty By JOE SMALLEY High above the plains of Auburn, As in countries over sea, Men are flying for our country —Men who fight to keep us free. We who here remain in college May not think our part is great, But we have a greater duty Than to merely sit and wait. Our task, though it may not be romantic, Is a job that must be done; Not a job for ten or twenty, But there's work for every one. All of us enjoy the blessings Of our land so rich and free. Ought we then withhold our service, When our country's need we see? Auburn men, let's work together; . Train our minds and bodies too. For there's work the whole world over That we Auburn men can do. Let our hearts soar like the "Eagle" —Symbol of our battle c r y - Till the far-flung lands of tyrants Quake beneath our zeal and die.

WPB campaign headquarters suggests that five typing classes in place of four could teach the same number of students and require fewer machines. To make three typewriters do the work of With due respect to "Blondy" Black and the Mississippi State Maroons Auburn will be prepared to face the seventh in its list of eleven opponents this season when the Plainsmen and Staters clash Saturday in Birmingham. Last year it was the blond speedster who engineered two victory marches that enabled his mates to overcome an early Auburn lead and win out 14-7. Once again in this senior year, the 195 pound youth will attempt to stop Messrs. Gafford, Reynolds, and company. * * * * The Plainsmen have their sights trained on the Maroons with the idea that revenge is hard to get—but, nevertheless, it does make one feel good in the great sport of football to achieve that ultimatum. Coach Meager is> silent over the matter, hoping all the time for an Auburn victory. He doesn't say that we hope to win nor that we will probably lose, but this one thing he does say, "We'll be in there pitching all the way". And when the "little general" mumbles thusly in his own mild mannered way, things will pop. * * * * Mr. Bob Evans, Associate Professor of Physical Education, who has scouted Miss. State in their past three engagements, has been on hand at the practice sessions this week, explaining what he has seen State use both offensively and defensively. State is another one of those "BIG" teams that will outweigh the Auburn forwards considerably. Their tackles are two-hundred pounders and the center will tip 215. It certainly won't be the first time this season that Auburn has been "outbeefed" either. Speed and superior striking force have meant the margin of victory for our side. * * * * Last week Gafford, Reynolds, and Finney supplied the running punch against a supposedly superior team. This week its the same story. Finney, Reynolds, and Gafford will be up against the team which is rated as the team for us to beat. * * * * This week Coach Meagher has given his boys a new fixed assignment—" Strike fustest and with the mostest". He has added a new and varied offense, destined to either punch State into oblivion or make an extreme effort in the attempt to offset a heavier line. He has exprimented with several new backfield combinations as a matter of precaution rather than dissatisfaction. Auburn will definitely be the underdog with the Maroons rated at least one touchdown superior. A mighty battle is at hand—Auburn is up against it. The outcome? Your guess is as good as ours, but we'll stick by our boys. * * * Members of this years varsity team have gone out for the cultural parts of life, and are not confiaing their talents to the gridiron alone. Among those taking the course in Music Appreciation are: Vic Costellos, Everett Harwell, Carl Fletcher, Jojo Eddins, Jack Ferrell, and Jim Reynolds. * » * Babe Gendusa was nominated to the Associate Press All-Sophomore team this week. Babe played 57 minutes of heads-up ball replacing the injured Aubrey Clayton, and he played like a veteran. * » » J im Reynolds called the plays from his fullback post against Villanova, and he turned in a brainstorm of a job. Not only was he able to call the right plays at the right time, but he also lugged the pigskin for a total of 114 yards. Nice going, Pop! * * * Jack Cornelius deserves more than a vote of thanks for his exhibition of football wizardry. He and Jim Pharr played side by side, with the exception of a few minutes, against the Wildcats. They blocked, tackled, and bruised the opposition all the way through. Well, Auburn's hot, and State is shot, so we'll meet you in Legion Field in Birmingham Saturday. four, stenographers in college offices can share their machines and use portables, which the government does not want.

AVE., BIRMINGHAM This space paid for, in the public interest, by Burger Philips SPEs Win Their League as O T S Takes Final Game from Sigma Pi SPEs Win League The SPEs were victorious in their league this season as they downed a strong Phi Delta Theta team by the margin of 13-0. This victory left the SPEs undefeated in four games as well as unscored on. The game was filled with action and, in many instances, almost got out of hand as a result of very rough action. The first period was scoreless and the SPEs got their first marker in the early moments of the second quarter. The Sig Eps took possession of the ball near mid-field as the result of a bad kick. Several passes from Jack Curlee to Bill Rains and Harris Bodden placed the ball on the 20. One pass from Curlee to Scruggs was good for the score. The second six-pointer came late in the third period as Scruggs set it up by intercepting one of Caldwell's passes on the 40. Two passes to Jerry Bodden and Rains placed the ball on the 5. Curlee tossed to Cribb for the marker. The extra point—Curlee to J. Bodden—was ruled good on interference. OTS 19—Sigma Pi 6 The Men of Omega Tau Sigma defeated the Sigma Pis by the margin of 19-6 as the league play in all leagues was concluded. The first OTS touchdown came early in the game on a play which they have successfully used this season—the old sleeper pass. Bud Reed tossed the ball to Bush on a pass which netted 35 yards and a score. The attempt for the point was blocked. Dorsey scored the second touchdown for OTS as he intercepted Vakakes' pass on the 30 and carried it over for the six-pointer. Again Dorsey was the prominent figure in the last touchdown as he scored on a ten yard pass from Reed after OTS had worked the ball into scoring position on several short passes. The try for the point was good. The Sigma Pis scored their lone touchdown on a pass from Vakakes to Reynolds. The ball was brought into scoring distance on a pass from Vakakes to Holt. Students Remedy Labor Shortage Several hundred sons of Utah State Agriculture College, reinforced by students from local high schools, made two excursions on successive week-ends to Ogdon and unloaded more than 600 carloads of incoming and outgoing military supplies bogged down by a labor shortage at the Army Quartermaster Depot. The Office of Defense Transportation provided a special train which carried 350 volunteers to the scene one week-end and 480 the following week-end.

BANQUET SCENE: MACBETH SEES GHOST OF MURDERED BANQUO Tigers Will Revenge Last Two Games Monk Gafford Will Again Lead Tigers As Jim Reynolds Gives Him Ail-American Aid By JIMMIE DAVIS Birmingham, here we come. The familiar battle cry of Auburn will be sounded in the magic city for the initial time this season when the Tigers meet the high flying staters of Mississippi. Coach Allyn McKeen has whipped together a strong team this year, spearheaded by Blondy Black, the running sensation. The game, probably the most colorful in the Southeastern Conference for the week, MtSS AUBtJEN T© BE ELECTED THURSDAY War Eagle Cries It may be late in the day to be thanking some one for a favor extended to this campus, but it is better late than never. The favor was the one the Howard College students did for the Auburn Baby Tigers when they played in Birmingham for the Clinic game several weeks ago. This school volunteered to send their cheer leaders to the game and helped the Auburn fans at the game cheer their "baby" team on to victory. And, from the looks of the picture that appeared in the paper, they really did a swell job of picking the cheering leaders. We thank the Howard students and appreciate all that they did and the trouble they went to in our behalf. Some day perhaps we, of Auburn, can return the favor. Nominations Must Be in by Monday Of Next Week The second campus-wide election to select one of Auburn's prettiest co-eds will be held next Thursday when the Executive Cabinet sponsors the election of "Miss Auburn." Any girl is eligible for nomination provided she is enrolled in school here. Nominations for the girls must be turned into Jimmie Butt at the Pi Kappa Phi house by Monday of next week before 6:00. There will be four ballot boxes on the campus through which the students may vote. One will be at the student center, another on Ag Hill, the third on Vet Hill, and the last one in Ramsay Engineering Building. Students are asked to observe all the election rules which are printed below and all students who wish to vote will have to present their athletic books at the poll. Miss Auburn is not altogether an honorary position on the campus, as are many of the so-called beauty offices. She will be the beauty whom the ODK-Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race winner will get to kiss and she will be required to perform other duties throughout the year. Last year Miss Margaret McCain was elected "Miss Auburn" over several other popular co-eds. The election rules are as follows and all candidates must observe them to the fullest extent: 1. Any means of campaigning by a candidate or her supporters other than personal approach renders the candidate ineligible. No candidate may distribute free merchandise or have circulars or cards or other advertising printed and circulated in behalf of her election. The election committee will decide cases under these provisions subject to approval by the Executive Cabinet. 3. Anyone found guilty of unfair practices at the polls shall have his voting privilege removed by the Chairman of the Elections Committee. 4. Unsigned ballots will be thrown out. 5. There shall be no .voting by proxy. Reserve Boards Will Be Mere Monday, Nov. 2 A recruiting party with representatives from the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps will be in Auburn Monday, November 2, for the purpose of completing the enlistments of students in the reserves of these branches. Direct enlistment in the Navy and Marine Corps Reserves will be limited to non-ROTC Juniors and Seniors, while all freshmen and sophomores must first enlist in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps. Freshmen and sophomores who so desire may join the Army Enlisted Reserve with the reservation that they will be allowed t6 transfer to the Navy or Marine reserves at the completion of their sophomore year or if called to duty prior to that time. The Army recruiting representatives will be located in the armory in the basement of Samford Hall; the Navy representatives will be in the room next to the President's Office, Samford Hall; and the Marine Corps in the Air Conditioning Room on the first floor of Ramsay Hall. All necessary forms for enlistment should be completed before the arrival of the recruiting party. The blanks may be obtained from Kirtley Brown, Armed Forces Representative, in Room 104 Samford Hall. ON THE CAMPUS Scabbard and Blade Members of Scabbard and Blade who will attend the game with Miss. State at Legion Field, Birmingham, will hold a flag-raising ceremony on the field at 1:45. Dean Spidle Speaker Mrs. Marion Spidle, dean of women and head of the School of Home Economics, will be the principal speaker Tuesday evening, Nov. 3, at a meeting of the Auburn Householders Association in the New Classroom Bulding. Dr. J. V. Brown, director of student employment and housing, urges that all members of the association attend the meeting. Newman Club Meeting Tuesday evening the Newman club gave a Halloween party in the clubroom at 240 E. Magnolia. Members and their guests were present for dancing and other activities. Ladies of the parish served pie, cakes and coffee for refeshments and assisted in the entertainment. This is one of the many activities planned for Catholic students throughout the year and active members urge all Catholic students to participate. Meetings are held every Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the club room. Horseshoe Entries All entries for fraternity horseshoes must be turned in to the Intramural Office by Wednesday of next week. After Wednesday it will be too late for the teams to be included on the brackets to be drawn up. There are to be six men on each team. barring the Alabama-Georgia tilt, will flash two of the best backs in the south in Auburn's "Gone with the wind" Gafford and "The Blond Blizzard" of Mississippi State. At this point, we would like to take time out to praise the work of the entire team against Vil-lanova, and especially that of Sophomore Babe Gendusa, who stepped in to fill the shoes of the injured Aubrey Clayton and played a bang up game. Gendusa was pratically a demon on defense. The state team, fresh from a 26-12 win over Florida will pit a big and powerful eleven against Auburn, one capable of striking accurately on ground and air. Should Monk Gafford have a good day, State will find the going plenty tough. Incidentally, Gafford is the boy about whom Alabama's coaching staff has remarked, "We could beat any team in the country with a back like Gafford". Clipper Smith of Vil-lonova was very pleased with the fact that Gafford would not face his teams anymore after this year. Aubrey Clayton, first string quarterback who was injured in the Georgetown battle has been pronounced ready for action Saturday. Coaches Meagher and Hertenberger drilled the Plainsman hard this week and the squad is reported to be in good physical shape. Carl Fletcher, end from Gadsden, Alabama, who was injured in the Villonova game has reponded well to treatment and will be ready for service against the Delta State Boys. We'll bet the fireworks will really blast in Birmingham Saturday with a private score being calculated Gafford. Probable as follows; AUBURN Barton between starting Black and line-ups are MISS.

May Queen Election To Be Held Next Thursday for Women Only Election of Auburn's 1943 May Queen, will be held next Thursday, November 5, at the Social Center. Voting will begin at 8:30 A. M. and will continue until 5:30 P. M. Only regularly enrolled women students are entitled to vote. Student activities books must be presented. Eight candidates qualified before the deadline yesterday afternoon, Frances Ellis, member of Sphinx, the annual sponsors of the election, announced today. Those entered in the race are Reid Anderson, Quadrangle Independent; Margaret Lee Bradford, Kappa Delta; Catherine Jones, Chi Omega; Pat Kansing-er, Alpha Delta Pi; Lucinda Las-senter, Delta Zeta; Louise Pollard, Theta Upsilon; Marjorie Prince, Phi Omega Pi, and Mary Tinsley, Alpha Gamma Delta. The candidate receiving the largest number of votes will be queen, while the others will serve as ladies-in-waiting. Results of the election are not to be announced until several days before the May Day Festival, which will again be jointed sponsored by Sphinx, the Auburn Players, and the Dance Club. Copernicus To Be Honored by Free Nations Next Year On May 24, 1943, the world will celebrate the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Nicolas Copernicus, the great Polish scientist. Today for the first time in 575 years the alma mater of Copernicus, the University of Krakow, has been closed by the invader. The Kosciuszko Foundation, which since 1925 has endeavored to promote Polish culture, especially in the United States, plans toNfeature the four hundredth anniversary of the death of Copernicus, because the modern period of science popularly dates from his death, because Poland is associated with the United States in the war of survival, and because the United States contains several citizens of Polish and Slavic extraction, who would be honored in the honor paid their fellow countryman. SPEs Defeat Delta Sigma Phi to Win By Score 13-12 A superb Sigma Phi Epsilon team emerged victorious in the first round of the Interfraternity play-offs by barely nosing out the Delta Sigs by the slim margin of an extra point, 13-12. Both teams had entered the play-offs with spotless records as each had won four, lost none, and gone unscored on. The Delta Sigs drew first blood early in the game as they made their initial score on a drive which began about midfield and carried to the four by means of passes to&and from Walch and Califf. The drive was climaxed as Walch tossed to Sims for the score. The attempt for the point was knocked down by Cribb. The SPEs retaliated for this score in the second quarter. They took a Delta Sig punt on their own thirty and began down field. Curlee tossed to Scruggs for sixteen yards and moved the ball to the 46. Again Jack Curlee was on the throwing end as Bill Rains took a pass which was good for fourteen. Scruggs was on the receiving end- again as Curlee completed one for 10 yards to the Delta Sig 30. Then on a beautiful pass from Curlee to Harris Bodden in the end zone was good for 30 and the score. The attempt for the point was ruled bad. The SPEs again scored in the third period and provided the margin necessary to win the game. Walch kicked to the 40. Curlee threw three passes to Outlaw and Rains and moved the ball to the 11. Curlee was rushed fast on the next play and was forced to run, carrying the ball to the 3. A pass completed from Curlee to Rains provided the score. The extra point was good on a pass from Curlee to Cribb. The Delta Sigs came close to tying the game again in the last period as they moved the ball to their own 45. Califf took the pass from center, started running around his own right end, cut back over tackle, and ran the entire 65 yards throught the SPE team to bring the Delta Sigs in easy reach of tying the game. Walch tossed to Dupree for the extra point but Dupree was Pi Kappa Phis Win From Sigma Chis In Overtime Period A strong Pi Kappa Phi football team establshed itself as one of the leading contenders for campus football honors Thursday afternoon as they downed Sigma Chi 1-0 in an overtime game. The game was nip and tuck throughout, with each team having a touchdown called back. The Pi Kapp margin of victory came as they completed all four of their passes to pick up a total of 40 yards, while the men of Sigma Chi could gain but 20. Fain was the passing and kicking star for Pi Kappa Phi, while Ogletree and Reddick were his main receivers. Mastin and Donovan did the hurling for the losers with Marsh, Burroughs, and Ellis doing the catching. The Sigma Chis started off in the first quarter with a potent passing attack, but they booged down about midfield and Donovan booted to the Pi Kapp 15. From that point the Pi Kappa Phis started a drive which carried them to the Sig 15 before a pass was intercepted by Burroughs. Again the Sigma Chis seemed on the move, as Mastin connected with passes to Burroughs, Cottle, and Donovan successively. Fain's interception ended the threat and he punted out to Mastin as the half ended. The second half rocked along with neither team able to tally. Brown of Sigma Chi stopped one Pi Kapp drive by tagging Fain 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, ' while Mastin stopped another by an interception. The Pi Kapps were again on the march as the game ended. The Pi Kappa Phis were not to be denied in the extra period as the dependable Fain found his receivers for four completions. Mas-tin completed one to Marsh for Sigma Chi, but the Pi Kapp margin was too great to overcome, and the game ended with a 1-0 victory for Pi Kappa Phi. tagged on the one yard line and then crossed the goal so the try was ruled no good and the Sig Eps advanced one step and will play the Pi Kappa Phis in the second round. Page Two T H E A U B U R N P-lTA I N S M A N October 30,1942 " Whailaya MEAN one Utile rubber golf ball wasn't worth fighting about!" v-m-%* Prawn for Office of War Information Hitch-Hiking Almost a Pastime Now The Editor's Desk . . . Many are the unheralded organizations, societies, groups, and honoraries on the campus that do good work and yet re-., ceive little, if any, commendation or praise for the part which they add to Auburn. One such group is the Intramural Board which handles the various sports between the fraternities and independent groups. On this page there is an editorial written by a member of this board and presenting one side of the many arguments which naturally present themselves during football, softball, and other games played by the fraternities. It is not easy to work up schedules for the different teams to go by, divide and find students to referee the games, teach the students how to referee, get them out there, work up the points, and decide in their own estimation who are the best players on each of the teams on the campus. Since war has started and our Intramural Board and students have worked hard and long to give the undergraduates more and better opportunities for minor sports, we believe that they are adding much to the college and campus and deserve more recognition.- ~ - * * * Another group that has done more for Auburn, as for as publicity is conderned, is a group which a majority of the students were in favor of, but few of them thought it would, or could, work here in Auburn—the Crack Drill Platoon. Ideas for Auburn's Crack Drill Platoon were born when Auburn met Clemson in a Homecoming game here a couple of years back. Clemson brought their outfit down here and really put on a show that made the fans stand up and cheer. Scabbard and Blade was the organization that took it upon itself to take the challenges of the student body to let Auburn have a Crack Drill Platoon and formed a unit which they called the Freshman Crack Drill Platoon. Colonel George Austin was first in command with Captain Charles Dubberly second in command. After a year's efforts, in which the student body had almost forgotten about the Platoon, one bright day they made their appearance and gave a performance that those who witnessed it will never forget. Since that time the fame of the Platoon has gone far and wide. Everywhere they go their fame has preceded them and their performance is acclaimed as one of the best. An example of this sentiment was displayed last Friday night in Montgomery when several announcements were made that the Platoon wished the public not to applaud until after the show was over. Instead, they could not hold it back and roll after roll of hand clapping came down each time they did some intricate movement or made some snappy maneuver. They are truly giving Auburn a good reputation, not only with the students, but with the citizens in every town in Alabama in which one or more residents have been privileged to see the Crack'Drill Platoon's performance. * . * * The football team is a third group of students which spread Auburn's fame far and wide over the country. It is natural that a team that plays the hardest, or as hard a schedule as any other team in the country, be thought of as a miracle team when they come along and scare the daylights out of the ranked favorite by all the experts. But, there is something else that distinguishes our team from those of most athletic teams which travel over the country from game to game and town to town. Chesterfield once said "that manners make the man" and this quotation certainly applies to our football* teams. Auburn teams however are made of different stuff. They never eat without a coat and tie. If they have a sweater they still don that coat. Their hair is usually combed or at least reasonably so, and when they wear their coats, their collars are buttoned and their ties pulled up in neat order. None of this souvenir business for the Auburn Plainsmen either. On rare occasions they have been known to leave a hotel room bare of all soap, towels, and ash trays to take back as a reminder of the trip. But, instances of this type of conduct are rare indeed. This is what type man Auburn has. The roughest and toughest group of men on the campus and spreading the best reputation that even the college fathers could spread or expect. The war is taking away one of the most absorbing pastimes of thousands of boys all over the country and putting a new kind of thumb on the side of America's highways. We all remember back "when," only a year ago, the highways swarmed with almost empty autos and even if the drivers were poor Samaritans, the law of averages guaranteed you a ride soon. We've ridden by thumb thousands of miles. A professor from Georgia's Medical College, a salesman of auto parts, a truck driver conveying Florida's out of season vegetables to Newark, and a Quaker farmer going to market are some of the interesting people composing a cross-section of American drivers in our memoirs of the highway. -Though we've enjoyed every minute, and sometimes hours, spent on a lonely highway, we'll always claim that hitchhiking for us has been a matter of convenience rather than choice—convenience on our bank-account as well as preference to crowded buses. There has been a great change in the kinds and amount of highway hosts, as well as their less fortunate quests, though not as much here as in the rationed area. It's no unusual sight to see men in overalls carrying lunch boxes, and thumbing toward a nearby Brewster plant or to see an entire family in the suburbs of a city looking for a ride downtown. But more important to us is the driver's attitude towards khaki and blue. Fifty soldiers may find convertibles to take them out of Columbus before you, who forgot your.war hat, finally flag a Model A, and sometimes the sailors here receive priorities over the delegation at College and Magnolia. We are all glad to concede our "first come" rights to the armed forces for we realize we too may soon be a government worker and then we'll want the same priorities. While we can still travel, we must preserve the honor of the Auburn Thumber's League. So far this year there have been two major violations of the courtesies due our hosts and fellow travelers. Both were well editorialized in The Auburn Plainsman. We must remember that the benevo-lence of our host is because he believes that our only motive in wanting a ride is to get somewhere, rather than to enjoy his cigarettes, radio, and the gadgets in his jalopy. If any unintentional damage is done to his car by us, it's our duty to him as well as to our friends who may want a ride with the same host later on to rectify the damage. In memorium to an American tradition, let's remember to be gentlemen on the road. A. S. PI a i n s T a l k By HERBERT MARTIN Still a Lot Students Can Do With Bonds Lately, with the war growing increasingly more expensive, our government has been doing all it can to increase the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. Of course, having been exposed to the campaign for about two years, the average citizen is well aware of the benefits of this sort of investment and the importance of placing a regular amount into the purchase of bonds. But still the income from bonds and stamps has not been equal to the overwhelmingly heavy cost of the war. So the financial bosses of the nation have wracked their brains to find means of inducing the average citizen to buy his share of these stamps and bonds. On the campus we are more or less exempt from the payroll savings plans, county quotas and the like which tend to encourage people toward buying their share of bonds. We have been doing a little toward helping the war effort such as buying dime stamps at dances, and perhaps picking up an occasional stamp here and another there, but there are still many unexploited ways which could bring in untold amounts of valuable revenue, besides giving the purchaser an investment in the safest stock on earth. For example, . the practice of giving war stamp corsages at dances has been adopted by a few groups but needs more general acceptance to do any real good. Also, the idea of giving stamps as favors for house guests, for such as fraternity house parties, and as prizes and favors, should be cultivated. A way which could bring in huge amounts of revenue could be attained in requiring the purchase of a ten cent stamp with each admission ticket to a movie, or similar place of amusement, rather, than the tax now assessed. And there are innumerable other ways of giving each individual a chance to do his part. It is hard indeed to make students convert his ready cash into stamps and bonds, but if any painless methods of doing this could be devised, they would benefit both the purchaser and his national government much more than the person buying the stamp would realize at the time. A. L. 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. Just this once, and that'll be all. Word of honor. It's kinda hard to get out of the habit. * * * And this is only to give you an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a wonderful, revolutionary, new enterprise. * * * It's new! It's radically different! Every war produces something new, and this, this time, is it! * * * It's the latest thing from the battlefields, improved in every way, and a "must" if you're packing your bag for a trip to an induction center. * * * It's the Martin Bomb Diverter X2, with many new features, but the same built-in principles of quality which has made the XI model a favorite with men in the service for over 20 years. * * * This small protector, operating orr-a magnetic repelling principle, offers positive and absolute protection against all types of bombs up to four tons, shellfire, and small arms fire. It is absolutely guaranteed on a money-back basis, and satisfaction is practically assured. » * * If you desire these items for Christmas presents to men overseas, write immediately, enclosing $2.40 in stamps or coin, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, as the gifts must be mailed by Nov. 1. * * * If the Bomb Diverter ever fails to give complete protection, just return it personally and you will not only get your money back, less ten cents to cover costs of wrapping and mailing, but also a free gift of a fur-lined pewter syrup pitcher for those Sunday mornings at home. * * * And if you need a refund, you can bet you'll be spending Sunday mornings at home. * * * We haven't had a dissatisfied customer in 20 years, or at least no complaints. * * * Any resemblance of dissatisfied customers to persons living is purely coincidental. * * * Also just off the presses is our new battle map for use in following the war situation. To facilitate corrections for rapidly changing boundaries, the map is perfectly blank and corrections are made with invisible ink. * * * If you don't have any of the ink on hand, rush down to your neighborhood Nazi spy tonight and replenish your supply. * * * Also new is our little Handy- Dandy tire tool, for removing tires and tubes from wheels. It works equally well on all makes of cars, and the principal advantage of this little gadget is its absolute silence in operation. * * * But you must promise not to use this on tires or tubes belonging to anyone else. * * * We also haye almost ready for the market a new type of synthetic rubber which is not only synthetic, but also sympathetic. Because of a temporary shortage of basic "materials, this product is not available for public consumption just now. * * * Principal ingredient is India rubber men, who have been exceedingly unpatriotic to date. * * * We are also working on a new inner tube made frorif tube roses, but experiments have not been entirely satisfactory, and the product does not meet our usual high standards of quality. * * * "But," says Karrie, the Kamp Kutie, "we'll gladly swap you a dozen tube roses for an old inner tube, and you can conduct your own experiments!" Co-ed Personalities By MAVIS WIDNEY Give Intramural Referees an Even Break The games, football, basketball, softball, or any other sport played by fraternities, independent teams, or other organizations on the campus are refereed or supervised by members of the intramural board. This board is composed of students who have the qualifications for handling all sports. They do their best to referee all games conscientiously and without prejudice or favortism. A few players, and it is to these few that this article is written—have the idea that the referee is against them. This idea is entirely wrong. The members on the intramural have two main objectives in mind—to provide fair games and to keep down injuries. Naturally we are human and are bound to make mistakes. We may call a man out when everybody else sees otherwise, or fail to see a man touched by an opposing player, but we do our best to prevent this occuring. Once a decision is made by a referee he does not change his mind. So if those who do not like the referees and those who just like to gripe will bear these facts in mind things will run a lot smoother. > R.

Although a course in landscape architecture was founded at API 12 years ago, it has only recently been expanded into a five-year course and made a separate department. This department now has the only course in landscape architecture in the South that fulfills the requirements of the American Society of Landscape Architects. "There is an increasing shortage of trained landscape architects at present due to the neect for them in site planning, camouflage and similiar war work and after the war the shortage will be even greater since trained men and women will be needed to plan and direct the rehabilitation of the war-torn world," declared Professor Alfred Edwards, who is in charge of the new department. "Therefore, a sound training in peace-time landscape architecture is also being offered at API," he said. "And while young men are engaged in active warfare, it is an opportune time for young women to receive training in landscape architecture so they can take an active part in planning the world after the war is over." Under the present quarter system the five-year course can be completed in four calendar years of study. For additional information on the new department apply to Professor Alfred Edwards, Auburn, Ala.

"This is nearer to 100 per cent response than the record made by any other profession," Dr. Mc- Adory reported today. "The veterinarians of our own state are registered almost 100 per cent to serve when and where the government may need them. "However, advice from Washington indicates that all veterinarians should stay on the job and take care of their present work Wood, until they are actually heeded elsewhere.

Merlo Speaks On War and Art "Art is a vital part of that combination of things which have saved the world in the past and will continue to preserve the ideals for which we, as Americans, are fighting for today, for war is destruction and art is creation," declared Joseph R. Marino- Merlo, assistant professor of Applied Art at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in a speech on "Art in Wartime" given before the Womans Club in Gadsden Tuesday, October 27. "Art is diametrically opposed to war and its forces. Art, as a freedom of expression, .can exist only in a condition where a right of expression is granted. Therefore Marine Officer Here Two Days Major A. M. Rabbins, heading a Marine Officers selection board from Marine State Headquarters, will be located at Alabama Polytechnic Institute on November 2 and 3rd. The board is selecting men for Marine Officers training. All men under 30 years of age and having a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts or an allied degree, or taking a course of study that leads to such a degree are eligible for Marine Officers training. Fighting Marine Officers are trained at Quantico, Va., where on the completion of ten weeks of intensive training men are commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve with pay ranging from $210. to $245. per month, special allowance for uniforms. All men qualified are urged to contact the selection board, which also examine and swear in all men that are selected for the Marine Officers' classes. the artist knows that this war has to be won, since the freedoms for which he stands can flourish only in a democracy," Professor Marine-Merlo continued.' "Art is not a thing, it is a state of mind and is inherent in all human beings. Pre-historic man began to decorate the walls of his cave, his weapons and himself before he began to build another shelter. The communicative urge appears as a natural instinct of man. He seems compelled to express his emotions, his thoughts, his beliefs." The speaker pointed out that everything employed in this war today—cannons, shells, airplanes, ships—has been designed and drawn by some type of artist/ "Our government has created a Bureau of Publications and Graphics under the office of War Information in order to have a concerted mobilization of the efforts of various types of artists at a crucial time like this. Millions of posters are created and distributed over the country because posters are one of the most effective means of communication to at least one-third of our people," the lecturer said. In conclusion, Professor Mar-ino- Merlo said that the one sure thing in this war and its outcome is change. No longer can we wake up yesterday, we must wake up tomorrow and art is a vital part of our civilization and of mankind. ment office has the record and qualifications of every veterinarian on file in Washington for reference when and if he is needed."

The idea of creating one national basis of recognition for students, which would be devoid of politics, initiation fees, and dues, was conceived more than ten years ago. After two years of research, correspondence, travel, and interviews with college officials, personnel managers, and others, to determine whether there was a need for such a publication as "Who's Who", the first book came into print, for the school year of 1934-35. The purpose of "Who's Who" is two-fold. First, to serve as an outstanding honor in which a deserving student, after displaying merit in college and accomplishing his goals, would be given recognition without having to pay some fee; Second, to establish a reference volume of authoritative information on the entire body of America's leading college students. Membership in "Who's Who'' serves the purpose of summing up all the other honors, scholastic or social, that he has attained. Inclusion in the book involves no obligation. This book is then placed at the disposal of business men in the United States and Canada so that they may have information concerning prospective employees. A file is kept on the students chosen for "Who's Who" and is referred to when trying to place these men and women. As soon as a student expresses a wish to become affiliated with any company his complete record is sent to that company.

The purpose of this book is to provide an incentive for students to get the .best results from their college experience, to compensate students for what they have already achieved, to set up a standard of measurement for students comparable to other recognized scholastic and> service organizations, and to recommend successful students to the business world. The students which are selected are chosen on most campuses by a committee of faculty and students; in some other instances a more individual method of selection is used; while in still other colleges the nominations are made by one or two high ranking college officials with one or two assistants, faculty or student body members. The committees, regardless of form, have certain requisites for membership which each candidate must meet before he or she can be considered for membership in "Who's Who." Principal among these requisites are character, scholarship, leadership in extracurricular activities and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. Contrary to opinion, juniors as well as seniors are eligible for membership in the national organization. Membership in "Who's Who", it is believed by the editors of the books, will be of special benefit to the college students who are still in school today. After the war there will be a period of readjustment on everyone's part and employers everywhere are going to want to know which men are the best suited for the jobs they have to offer. It is the purpose of the book to enable these employers to aid in their selection of new men after the war has terminated. The book will act as stabilizing agent for this country which will be in a J trying period of readjustment and will offer employers and manufacturers the most promising candidates for employment.

Our Duty By JOE SMALLEY High above the plains of Auburn, As in countries over sea, Men are flying for our country —Men who fight to keep us free. We who here remain in college May not think our part is great, But we have a greater duty Than to merely sit and wait. Our task, though it may not be romantic, Is a job that must be done; Not a job for ten or twenty, But there's work for every one. All of us enjoy the blessings Of our land so rich and free. Ought we then withhold our service, When our country's need we see? Auburn men, let's work together; . Train our minds and bodies too. For there's work the whole world over That we Auburn men can do. Let our hearts soar like the "Eagle" —Symbol of our battle c r y - Till the far-flung lands of tyrants Quake beneath our zeal and die. Our Salute To The Navy Ships sail East, and Ships sail West; While the self-same breezes blow; It's the set of the sails And not the gales, That determine the way they go.

Headquarters Ask Less Civilian Typewriter Usage Colleges, universities, schools, industry and the public must send one out of four of their typewriters to war if the armed forces > a re to get 600,000 machines of post- 1935 vintage. WPB campaign headquarters suggests that five typing classes in place of four could teach the same number of students and require fewer machines. To make three typewriters do the work of With due respect to "Blondy" Black and the Mississippi State Maroons Auburn will be prepared to face the seventh in its list of eleven opponents this season when the Plainsmen and Staters clash Saturday in Birmingham. Last year it was the blond speedster who engineered two victory marches that enabled his mates to overcome an early Auburn lead and win out 14-7. Once again in this senior year, the 195 pound youth will attempt to stop Messrs. Gafford, Reynolds, and company. * * * * The Plainsmen have their sights trained on the Maroons with the idea that revenge is hard to get—but, nevertheless, it does make one feel good in the great sport of football to achieve that ultimatum. Coach Meager is> silent over the matter, hoping all the time for an Auburn victory. He doesn't say that we hope to win nor that we will probably lose, but this one thing he does say, "We'll be in there pitching all the way". And when the "little general" mumbles thusly in his own mild mannered way, things will pop. * * * * Mr. Bob Evans, Associate Professor of Physical Education, who has scouted Miss. State in their past three engagements, has been on hand at the practice sessions this week, explaining what he has seen State use both offensively and defensively. State is another one of those "BIG" teams that will outweigh the Auburn forwards considerably. Their tackles are two-hundred pounders and the center will tip 215. It certainly won't be the first time this season that Auburn has been "outbeefed" either. Speed and superior striking force have meant the margin of victory for our side. * * * * Last week Gafford, Reynolds, and Finney supplied the running punch against a supposedly superior team. This week its the same story. Finney, Reynolds, and Gafford will be up against the team which is rated as the team for us to beat. * * * * This week Coach Meagher has given his boys a new fixed assignment—" Strike fustest and with the mostest". He has added a new and varied offense, destined to either punch State into oblivion or make an extreme effort in the attempt to offset a heavier line. He has exprimented with several new backfield combinations as a matter of precaution rather than dissatisfaction. Auburn will definitely be the underdog with the Maroons rated at least one touchdown superior. A mighty battle is at hand—Auburn is up against it. The outcome? Your guess is as good as ours, but we'll stick by our boys. * * * Members of this years varsity team have gone out for the cultural parts of life, and are not confiaing their talents to the gridiron alone. Among those taking the course in Music Appreciation are: Vic Costellos, Everett Harwell, Carl Fletcher, Jojo Eddins, Jack Ferrell, and Jim Reynolds. * » * Babe Gendusa was nominated to the Associate Press All-Sophomore team this week. Babe played 57 minutes of heads-up ball replacing the injured Aubrey Clayton, and he played like a veteran. * » » J im Reynolds called the plays from his fullback post against Villanova, and he turned in a brainstorm of a job. Not only was he able to call the right plays at the right time, but he also lugged the pigskin for a total of 114 yards. Nice going, Pop! * * * Jack Cornelius deserves more than a vote of thanks for his exhibition of football wizardry. He and Jim Pharr played side by side, with the exception of a few minutes, against the Wildcats. They blocked, tackled, and bruised the opposition all the way through. Well, Auburn's hot, and State is shot, so we'll meet you in Legion Field in Birmingham Saturday. four, stenographers in college offices can share their machines and use portables, which the government does not want. Students who can spare standard size typewriters made since Jan. 1, 1935, are urged to sell them through local dealers. Students of the southern branch of the University of Idaho and the Pocatello high schools ' left their classrooms to relieve a labor shortage in the beet and potato fields under a pledge to catch up on their school work when the harvest is in.

AVE., BIRMINGHAM This space paid for, in the public interest, by Burger Philips SPEs Win Their League as O T S Takes Final Game from Sigma Pi SPEs Win League The SPEs were victorious in their league this season as they downed a strong Phi Delta Theta team by the margin of 13-0. This victory left the SPEs undefeated in four games as well as unscored on. The game was filled with action and, in many instances, almost got out of hand as a result of very rough action. The first period was scoreless and the SPEs got their first marker in the early moments of the second quarter. The Sig Eps took possession of the ball near mid-field as the result of a bad kick. Several passes from Jack Curlee to Bill Rains and Harris Bodden placed the ball on the 20. One pass from Curlee to Scruggs was good for the score. The second six-pointer came late in the third period as Scruggs set it up by intercepting one of Caldwell's passes on the 40. Two passes to Jerry Bodden and Rains placed the ball on the 5. Curlee tossed to Cribb for the marker. The extra point—Curlee to J. Bodden—was ruled good on interference. OTS 19—Sigma Pi 6 The Men of Omega Tau Sigma defeated the Sigma Pis by the margin of 19-6 as the league play in all leagues was concluded. The first OTS touchdown came early in the game on a play which they have successfully used this season—the old sleeper pass. Bud Reed tossed the ball to Bush on a pass which netted 35 yards and a score. The attempt for the point was blocked. Dorsey scored the second touchdown for OTS as he intercepted Vakakes' pass on the 30 and carried it over for the six-pointer. Again Dorsey was the prominent figure in the last touchdown as he scored on a ten yard pass from Reed after OTS had worked the ball into scoring position on several short passes. The try for the point was good. The Sigma Pis scored their lone touchdown on a pass from Vakakes to Reynolds. The ball was brought into scoring distance on a pass from Vakakes to Holt. Students Remedy Labor Shortage Several hundred sons of Utah State Agriculture College, reinforced by students from local high schools, made two excursions on successive week-ends to Ogdon and unloaded more than 600 carloads of incoming and outgoing military supplies bogged down by a labor shortage at the Army Quartermaster Depot. The Office of Defense Transportation provided a special train which carried 350 volunteers to the scene one week-end and 480 the following week-end.
