These Boys in Full Wool ROTC
Uniform Are Having Fun
It is hot. This is an accepted
fact among the students at the
present time. But, do you think
it would be hot if you had on a
wool shirt? You do. Well, do you
think it would be hot with a wool
pair of pants added? You still
do. Finally, do you think it would
be hot with all of the above mentioned
objects on and a good old
heavy .wool blouse added, and to
add to the pleasantness (?) of it
all to do exercises and running
and be very energetic for a whole
week.
This sounds like it might become
boring. In fact it could very
easily do so around the end of
the week when the ones who have
to wear said apparel stay up and
go for 18 full hours.
In case you haven't guessed
who is going to have to wear all
of the heavy clothing for the rest
of this week, we will tell you that
it. happens to be 14 boys recently
tapped by Scabbard and Blade,
honorary military society.
All of this is not so hard. If you
think it is just ask an active
member of Company "L", Fifth
Regiment, to ask the neophytes
if it is hot, and the answer will be
NO. They do not mind the hot
weather so much. At least not
now.
In the past the initiation of the
society has taken place from Friday
morning at 6:30 until Sunday
morning at 6:30 without let up.
But, due to the quarter system
and Saturday quizzes, the initiation
will be carried on in moderation
until Saturday noon, when
things will really get hot for those
14 men who were recently tapped.
It will not be so hard. After all
this is war as we heard one of the
members in a rival contingent say
the other day and we must make
sacrifices. If these men can stand
up under the small amount of
pressure that will be put to them
then they will be able to stand
almost anything.
For the rest of this week they
will have practically nothing to
do except obey the minor commands
of the active members in
the Company.
But, come Saturday at 12:45,
the real fun will start and the
boys will actually see if they can
take it physically and mentally.

burn is cast in the role of her
literary-minded and romantically-
inclined husband, David
Bliss, who has achieved a goodly
amount of popularity as a writer
of sexy novels.
The Blisses are an unusual
group who have quite a few peculiarities.
When four "friends"
(each of the opposite sex) of different
members of the family arrive
to "visit" these impertubable
people, the situation soon becomes
rather complicated. For
none of the Blisses had been
aware of the fact that each one of
the other members of the family
had invited his own particular
friend to spend a few days. You
will have to attend the performance
in order to discover if and
how these complications a re
straightened out by subsequent
events. There's plenty of action
in the play, and you'll get a lot
of laughs out of the entire performance.

"Hay Fever" wil be tomorrow
night at 8:1'5 P. M. Admission to
both performances of the play is
free to all regularly enrolled students
at Auburn. Faculty members

number of string instruments are
still needed. Anyone who can
play the violin, viola, or cello is
invited to attend a meeting of the
orchestra to be held in the music
studios over Toomer's Drug Store
at 7:30 tonight. Though the orchestra
is being formed with the
idea of being only temporary,
playing with the pageant on August
22, if it is successful it might
possibly be incorporated into a
permanent organization. Anyone
who is interested in participating
in this worthwhile enterprise is
requested to attend this first
meeting.
Pre-Med Students
There will be a meeting of the
Pre-Med Club Thursday night at
8:00 in Ross Chemical Laboratory.
The meeting is important and all
members are urged to be present.
REQUIREMENTS FOR
GLIDER PILOTS ARE
LOWERED BY CAA
A recent call, issued by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration,
for volunteers to train as
glider pilots has been strengthened
by elimination of the entrance
requirement which made
a private pilot certificate mandatory.
The training program is now
open to men between 18 and 35
regardless of previous experience.
Anyone with gliding experience
is of course desired for the program,
but the call for volunteers
is aimed at all who can pass the
physical requirements. These requirements
are not as strict as
those set up for aviation cadets.
Vision may be 20/40, correctible
with glasses to 20/20.
War Eagle Cries
Just happened to be out at
the Amphitheater last Sunday
night and learned something
interesting. Something that
most people know already but
just haven't stopped l o ng
enough to think about it. That
is: That this struggle is going to
have to be won with faith in
God more than perhaps intelligence
or use of our great brain
power. Gould Beech impressed
this upon us in his talk, through
its simplicity and honestness.
The American people have
come to realize now more than
before the war began, that we
are in this fix because we did
not trust in Him long ago. Now
We are doing it, perhaps too late
and perhaps not . . . this remains
to be seen. When the
peacetime comes and it is once
more time to make a treaty
with whom we have beaten, let
us not forget our Creator who
is still beside us and will always
be there for our bidding
when we need Him. He is ever
ready to help us, why are not
we always ready to help Him?

Freshmen Must Know School Yells and Songs ONE TYPE OF POLITICAL MACHINE

We didn't see any cat's feet,
but we sho' did see the fog. We
felt awfully British and would
have gotten ourselves lost if we
hadn't been able to see the glow
from Samford tower. Hidden as it
was behind the mist, the clock
face made a beautiful substitute
for a moon.
* * *
We suppose the fog was just getting
in a little pre-season practice
for exams. 'Twon't be long
now 'til the fog really rolls in.
* * *
And that's when we start burning
the midnight oil. We trust
that there won't be any priorities.
College students would be in a
bad state were that commodity
rationed.
* * *
Cramming for exams, however,
is a cause for many early deaths.
Surely you've heard the term,
"bone-pile."
* * *
And back to the war: Even if
you can't get in the fight, you can
at least get in the scrap.
* * *
We know a fellow whose watch
developed a very peculiar ailment.
It seems that the poor
thing had a nervous break-down
trying to keep up with all the
various "official" times.
* * *
Just think how hard that would
be for you if you were a watch.
* * *
Just think how hard it is anyhow.
* * *
We read a news item in which
it was said that a man reported
that a tax stamp was stolen from
a truck he was driving. Maybe he
went to sleep.
* * *
Do your Christmas shop-lifting
early.
* * *
Patronize your local post office
for "something new every day."
We used to be able to tell the
denomination of a postage stamp
just by" glancing at it. No more
can we do that. We have to take
each stamp individually and look
for the number on it. Even the
color isn't reliable anymore.
* * *
The other day we were walking
down the street, minding our
own business, when we suddenly
thought we saw a turtle walking
along ahead of us. We ran up to
turn it over and thus capture it;
but when we got closer, we saw
that it wasn't a turtle at all, but
a Frank Buck hat. We had a pretty
good idea of what it was, so
we picked it up; and sure enough,
there was a cadet captain on his
way fcTPElOO.
"- * * *
We stood on tip-toe for an hour
to watch the USO show Saturday
night, and we really saw
something. That juggler had everything
on the stage except the
emcee in the air at once. And
talk about balancing things! I'll
bet he could even balance equations.
* * *
We ought to try him on the
budget.
* * *
We want it clearly understood
that we had nothing to do with
this. We have no more connection
with what Phil says than the
Quadratician has with what Hades
says. And here's what Phil,
the Professorial Poet, has to say:

HALT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
! ! ! ! ! I I I
As was expected during the summer
months the spirit of the freshmen class in
regards to sports and yelling and cheering
has not been exactly up to par for the
first term of school. One reason for this
is the lack of incentive to yell and have
any type of rally. It has been too hot on
most days for such carryings on and there
has been no actual need for it.
With the fall term just around the corner
and with it football and cool weather,
the spirit of. the freshmen class and the
whole student body should begin to rise.
It will be the duty or privilege of the up-perclassmen
to show and train the freshmen
who have dropped behind, in the true
way of the Auburn Spirit and what it
means.
Lots of those in schoolnow do not know
the meaning of speaking to each other on
the campus. They just "plain don't have
that Spirit."
So it seems what is needed is a period
of instruction from the upperclassmen to
the freshmen teaching them the rules and
regulations of Auburn. Most of them do
not even know the Alma Mater, (how
about the upperclassmen, too) and we
doubt seriously if any know enough yells
to make a good noise at a football game.
It is time they learned. If they are not
going to pick up this information for them-selyes,
then it is up to the individuals to
give it to them. Fraternities and boarding
houses can teach freshmen the yells and
make them learn them. Sing with them
and yell with them and give them that
Auburn Spirit from the bottom of your
own heart, instead of out of a book.
The date of the first pep rally has not
been announced but when it comes we
want to- see every freshman and upper-classman
out there yelling and giving his
all for API.
Reasons Why Politicians Have Regulations
Since the announcement several weeks
ago concerning the freshmen election day
after tomorrow, freshmen have been hot
on the trail of votes and some means of
getting the most.
It might not be too late to inform the
freshmen who are running for office that
there are still rules which must be followed
if they are to be eligible in the election.
One of the most important of these
rules is the one dealing with the placing
of written matter in the hands of prospective
voters. It may not seem important to
those of you who are running but it will
later on when you get to be a senior and
politics really get hot and much depends
on the successful completion of your campaign.
Several years ago it was the custom and
policy of politicians who were running for
the big offices in the class to pay all sorts
of money to boys to vote for them. Free
shoe shines, ice cream cones, and various
other methods of getting votes were used
to entice voters to "see it their way." Most
of them printed handbills or cards and
gave them out to the students in classes or
paid someone to pass them out up town.
It got so bad in fact that the students
and the administrative heads of the college
realized that something had to be
done before the whole political system of
the student body was paralyzed. The result:
A system whereby anyone could run
and have as good a chance as the next fellow.
Now it is not necessary to have a house
full of money to be a politician or to win.
Just to get out and work. That is the reason
for the ,rules and especially the one
about no printed matter being used in.
elections.
Friday when the results are announced
and you won, or lost, then you can either
thank your self or blame your self for the
outcome. It all depends on one person . . .
you, and whether you work or not decides
your fate.

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.
Hades doesn't know if it's worth
the trouble of breaking into the
office to do her bi-weekly duty or
not. Then when she achieves the
inner sanctum to find most of the
other typewriters sitting around
indolently . . . most of them invalids.
* * *
At any rate, it must have been a
strange sight for late passers-by
to see a typewriter and two lone
women clamboring up a brick
wall and through an excruciatingly
high window. H a d es
sprained her capital B.
* * *
Hades, having gotten herself
quite a reputation for being a
malcontent says that there are
quite a few things she likes about
Auburn . . . the college and the
town and while it's been done
before she doesn't mind.
She likes the Engineer's carni-cal,
week-end excursions out to
Chewacla, skirts and sweaters,
shirts and slacks, everybody being
dressed up for church on Sunday
morning, breakfast with all
the girls looking sleepy, plays,
band concerts, getting The Auburn
Plainsman, a n d fussing
about the Glomerata being late.
* * •
She likes the season of politicians,
drill, and people who say
funny things. She likes bull sessions,
complete with hair curlers
and pedicurists, and the sensation
of watching somebody else cram
when she doesn't have a quiz.
* * *
She likes Pan-hellenic Council
and getting the roem clean three
seconds before Miss Moore checks
her end of the hall.
* * »
She likes going over to the
dean's office for a talk, and the
sun setting behind the gym, stay-
A dim* out of •very
dollar we 00711

U.S. WAR BONDS
ing up all night and breakfast at
five-thirty in town. She likes to
listen to the band practice while
she's in her eleven o'clock class,
and finds it fascinating to' keep
count of the ROTC boys who pass
out on a hot day.
* * *
She likes to play bridge with
people who don't really care who
loses, and the atmosphere down
in Student • Center. She likes to
watch the editor of The Auburn
Plainsman when copy is late, and
when he gets an anonymous
letter.
* * *
Fraternity rows are among the
nicest things in town. She likes to
fuss about classes on third floor
Broun, and having to walk to the
various Hills. She adores boys
who open doors and offer to carry
her packages.
» * *
She likes to have unexpected
company, unexpected phone calls,
and letters. She loves the maids
in the dorms, and the cooks who
sing in the dining hall.
* » *
She likes to go to class prepared,
and fool the professor, and
prefers small classes. She likes a
cut-system and cold showers . . .
or just showers.
* * *
She likes dances and the Auburn
Knights and people in evening
clothes, and the jam sessions
that sometimes get started in
Langdon. She likes to hear the
Glee Club practicing over Toom-er's.
* * *
She likes the wild dash to eight

During President Roosevelt's June 15-
July lO Rubber Reclamation Drive Alabama
salvagers collected over 15,000,000
pounds of used rubber goods, thus exceeding
the state quota by over 6,000,000
pounds.
Now, the drive for scrap iron and steel
has begun. And Alabama has the opportunity
to go over the top again. The state's
excellent record in the rubber salvage
campaign-'can and must be repeated in this
new drive.
The many years during which we sold
scrap metal to our "friends," the Japs, are
being regretted now—at a date that is almost
too late. But, we must help rectify
this unfortunate mistake by cooperating
completely in the present campaign.
Everyone may do his or her part. Scrap
is needed desperately. No piece is small
enough to be overlooked. One useless old
shovel will help make four hand grenades.
A discarded radiator will provide enough
scrap metal to make 17 rifles. An old lawn
mower will help make six 3-inch shells.
Enough rubber for 12 gas masks could be
provided by one worn-out automobile tire.
The government asks that you first collect
all waste material and pile it up at
a convenient place near your house. Then
sell it to a junk dealer, give it to a charity,
take it yourself to the nearest collection
point, or get in touch with your local Salvage
Committee.
In Auburn, the Junior Chamber of Commerce
has offered to take charge of the
scrap metal campaign. If you have any old
iron or steel which might be of value to
the nation in its war effort call Drive
Chairman Wilson Hill at 960-Extension 222
or at 581-W. He will tell you how these
"Bundles for Japan" may be delivered to
salvage headquarters in most efficient
manner. B. T.
A Finale for "Navy Blues" for Duration
Since last year we have had a column in
this paper designed to inform our readers
of navy life. The column Was entitled
"Navy Blues" and was written by Chief
Yeoman H. C. Smith. Now it has to be
discontinued because of more pressing matters
at the Navy Station. We are sorry that
he has to terminate his writing, but it has
been enjoyed by our readers and'perhaps
some day can be resumed. Congratulations
on what has been done and good luck for
the future.

Auburn Loses—Army Gains, A Hard Working Man
Auburn has lost many of its faculty and its students during the
present emergency, but now it has lost one whom it will miss more
so perhaps than some of the others. Mr. Sam Brewster, Director of
the Building and Grounds has been called to the army and will leave
sometime the early part of this week.
With him in charge of the B & G Department things have really
happened on this campus in the past few years. Sidewalks, grass, lights
on Samford, rodeos, and it seems thousands of other things which
will long remind us of him have been begun, worked on and
completed.
He is one who was always ready to help a student, and in most
cases give some new ideas or suggestions to help a plan along a
little. We hate to see him go, but we realize that if he works as hard
in the United States Army as he did here, then the Germans and
the Japs had better watch out—because anything is liable to happen.
Freshman—Are You A Future Auburn Man?
Since there is always so much talk on the campus about freshmen
buying rat caps and then not wearing them, perhaps it would be a
good idea to let them vote on it Thursday and decide once and for
all whether to have them or not. It would be a good chance to see
how good the future Auburn man will be liked. They may not be
worth anything or they may fool us all and turn out to be something
amazing.
It has been shown in the past and Hitler is showing it to us now
that we cannot force anything down a person's throat. So if the freshmen
are not Auburn men enough to wear their rat caps, then let
them vote to stop buying them and fooling around with them.
Flash! Not All of Saboteurs Were Executed
In a previous issue of this paper we carried an editorial about
the customs and traditions which we have at Auburn, and it seems
that it did not meet with the approval of some of the students.
We are sorry that it did strike home to some of them. We won't
call them Auburn students, because if they were true Auburn students
they would realize that Auburn is full of traditions for the students
and that is what makes Auburn the best school in the state, in the
southland, or in the nation.
We write editorials about the extinction of the Auburn Spirit only
because of students like that—who do not have enough in them to
believe in something and stick to it. We are sorry that they do not like
the traditions and customs about this school. Sorry for them. Because
they are missing the best part of living at Auburn, of going to school
here.
We do not know what they are getting out of school, but we do
know that if they would open up their minds and come out of their
own little shells they would find something bigger and better than
they have ever found before.

Town and Campus
• By LEONARD HOOPER
On the Campus Newsfront
If I may seem to have been rather quiet lately about my favorite
harping-topic, student war-bond-and-stamp buying, it is only the
lull before the storm. Recently I have been conferring with various
campus officials and student leaders about a stamp-and-bond buying
campaign for the students, and plans are being made for an extensive
pledge drive to be started next quarter.
The executive cabinet is busy right now planning the campaign
with a service fraternity or two, who will undertake to canvass the
students for stamp-and-bond buying pledges.
On the Town Newsfront
I'd like to comment again on the excellent recreational system
which the town has provided for the students and faculty. Besides
the college's own play fields, the town of Auburn maintains many
courts and recreational areas for the enjoyment of everyone connected
with the college. There is scarcely an amusement in which you'd like
to participate which is not taken care of by the people of Auburn.
Chewacla seems to make up for almost everything that the immediate
community lacks.
On the National Newsfront
There is some kind of old adage to the effect that for every bit
of good news, there is a corresponding item of bad news. This seems
to be true lately in the case of communiques about prominent shipbuilders.
The more truculent and uncooperative New Orleans' Mr.
Higgins becomes, the more reassuring and gratifying come Mr. Kaiser's
statements that he can catch up America's slack in ship production
by the construction of air-borne freighters, by the mass-production
methods which have distinguished all his ship-building plants in
the west.

Summer Almost Out and Socials
Are Crowding the Lists
SPE and PiKA Lighten the Week-
End; Other Activities Coming
By KATE NUNGESTER
J u s t two and a half more weeks and then we'll be free as
a bird for days and days, well at least six. People are going to
have to crowd all t h e i r l i t t le social gatherings into two weeks
and that's going to take hurrying.
SPE
We h a t e to rave on about these dances, b u t the SPE dance
t h i s week was a wonderful dance. The lead-out was the prettiest
we've seen in a long time with t h e members of the fraternity
and their dates forming a
big heart in the center of the
floor. The heart is the shape of
the fraternity pin. Then a man on
a step ladder with a spot that had
colored giggers in it played hide
and seek with the dancers. It was
awfully effective and it must
have taken a lot of work.
Pi Kappa Alpha
The PiKA house party and
breakfast came off in fine style.
The members of the fraternity
entertained their dates with a
dinner before the dance. We are
happy to see Jack "Mo" Berry
among those present.
Phi Kappa Tau
Last week Alpha Lambda
Chapter of Phi Kappa. Tau was
honored by a visit from Doctor
William Shideler, one of the
founders of the Fraternity, now
professor of Geology at Miami
University, Oxford, Ohio.
This was Doctor Shideler's first
visit to Auburn campus, despite
the fact that he had been promising
himself the trip ever since
his old schoolmate and fraternity
brother, Doctor J. M. Robinson,
joined our faculty.
Doctor Shideler expressed himself
as being very much pleased
with our school and town, and
all the "Phi Tau" boys greatly

especially his tales of the founding
and early days of the fraternity.
Phi Kappa Tau
A big house dance to be given
August 15, in honor of the fraternity
members was announced
by the pledges after their meeting
August 6. In addition to
members and pledges with dates
there will be invitations extended
to the representatives of various
other fraternities to attend
the dance.
An election of the pledge officers
was made at this meeting.
Those pledges elected to office
were: S. L. Ross, president; Arnold
Gully, vice-president; and
Paul Erickson, secretary-treasurer.

Auburn's Volunteer Fire
Department Always on Alert
Signals Used In
Air Raid Alarms
In This Vicinity
By AL COLLINS
In the past few months, since
the war has developed into the
bombing of defenseless cities fire
departments have developed into
a role of major importance. We
know little of our fire department
except on occasions when
we had grass fires that burned too
close to our houses and would
call them to extinguish the blazes
and save our property. But now
fire fighting has become a highly
scientific art arid only hours of
practice will bring perfection.
Not to be too far behind in the
race to provide protection for our
fair city the Auburn fire department
has been busy studying the
advanced means of combating incendiary
bombs and several types
of grasses that could be used to
destroy a city. They have just
completed a ten hour course in
first aid. This is a required course
for all air raid wardens and defense
workers.
Our fire department is composed
of eight regulars a nd
twenty voluntary firemen. At the
first sign of a fire the eight regulars
who live at the station
would immediately notify the
volunteers by phone or any other
method available. The volunteers
immediately report to the station
house and take their pre-assigned
places in the truck. Unfortunately
the city is only able to have
one truck, of the pumper and
hose type. Arrangements have
been made for obtaining another
truck to be used for the purpose
of combating chemical and incendiaries.
The new truck is expected
to arrive in the near future.
In case of an air raid the fire
department is ready to cooperate
with surrounding towns in combating
blazes. From the filter
center located at Montgomery the
word of approaching planes will
be relayed through Opelika to
here. At the first sign the yellow
warnings will be sounded, the
signal being sound of the fire
siren, bells in Samford and the
whistle of the lumber mill. The
yellow signal will be repeated in
ten seconds after five seconds
pause. As the planes come into
the general vicinity the blue
warning will be sounded. It will
be a blast of three seconds with
five seconds intervals. When the
raid is certain the red warning
will be sounded. It consists of repeated
blasts of fifteen seconds
followed by five second pauses.
As soon as it is certain that the
raid has passed the all clear will
sound. This signal will be continuous
fifteen second blasts.

Mr. Taylor And
Miss Shearer
Play at Tiger
"Her Cardboard
Lover" Will Play
For Two Days Here
Combining their talent for the
first time since their remarkable
triumph in "Escape," Norma
Shearer and .Robert Taylor again
co-star in "Her Cardboard Lover,"
which will be shown Wednesday
and Thursday at the Tiger
Theater. Their reunion is a
worthwhile screen event. As a
demonstration of their versatility,
this comedy from the play by Jacques
Deval is an ideal vehicle:
The' story has been lavishly
mounted, with spectacular backgrounds
placed in a smart Florida
winter resort. The Metro-Gold-wyn-
Mayer art department went
the limit, as did the costume designers
and photographers. The
direction by George Cukor is
further evidence of his suave ability
in sophisticated material.
"Her Cardboard Lover" is the
story of a delightful girl in a fashionable
resort who fears to mar-rjT
the man she loves because of
his instability. In order to elude
him she employs another youth
who is madly in love with her to
act as a sort of bodyguard. Robert
Taylor impersonates the latter
with George Sanders as the playboy.
From the mirthful complications
thatx develop under this arrangement,
an amusing and unusual
story blooms in clever dialogue
and colorful action. It is
obvious, in the account of the
story, but not always on the
screen, that Taylor is blessed with
luck and wins the girl.
Frank McHugh and Elizabeth
Patterson have rich comedy roles
in support. McHugh and Taylor
form a song-writing team which
composes a number called "I Dare
You," that becomes a hit. Actually
it was written by Burton Lane
and Ralph" Freed, and is charming
melody.
"Her Cardboard Lover" is sheer
entertainment all the way through
—or, to coin a phrase, "Shearer
comedy Taylored to perfection."

Latest Books We Have
Latest Library List Includes Books Of
Interest to all Students in School
Auburn's new library has received its latest shipment of
books and included among them are some which students
have been wishing to read for some time. Principal one among
these is "Nostradamus Sees All" by Notredame. Nostradamus
came into the limelight recently when Hollywood brought
him into moving pictures with his predictions made hundreds
of years ago. The remarkable part of the predictions is
that most of them have come true as he foretold.
"Men Without Country" is another
of the late arrivals in the
library. It is by Nordhoff and is a
1942 edition. Music lovers will appreciate
a book by Murdoch entitled
"Chopin." The book will be
found under the biographies.
"Experiments a n d Demonstrations
in Psychology" by Shaffer
is a 1942 edition.
A Lasting Peace
"The Problems of a Lasting
Peace" is another late book by
Hoover. "Marriage and the Family"
by Leclercq will be of interest
to some students, men and
women. And "The Art of Courtly
Love" will interest some others.
"Introduction to the Old Testament"
and "Prayer" are two of
the latest books of interest to
Biblical students.
Students who are interested in
the Federal government will like
to read "General Tests for Federal
Jobs," "Causes for Crime," "The
Lie Detector" and "The Criminals
We Deserve." "Parenthood in
Democracy" should interest women
students and education students
will read "Motion Pictures
in a Modern Curriculum." "Higher
Mathematics for Engineers and
Physicists" will be appreciated
more by the engineering students.
Those who like to dabble in the
future or the supernatural will
read "Conquest of Space and
Time; the High Seas" by Schiel-drop.
Dramatic interests will prefer
"Theatre Practice" by Young.
Dramatic Students
"The Art of Reading Poetry" by
Daniels; "Discussion and Debate;
Tools of a Democracy" by Ew-bank;
and "Shakesperian Comedy"
by Charlton will all be of
particular interest to dramatic
students and those interested in
that line of the theater.
Lanks' "Pan American Highway
through South America" and
"Defense Will Not Win the War"
by Kerman will increase your
knowledge of our govenment and
what it is doing for our national
unity, now and after the war.
Sailors and radio men will like
to read "Radio Goes to War" by
Rolo which is a late edition of
the book.
Agriculture
Books which will be found in
the agricultural library include
"The Elements of Experimental
Embryology" by Huxley; "Bunt
or Stinkin Smut of Wheat" by
Holton; and "Plant Growth-Substances"
by Nicol.
Architecture

Palestine, Syria, Turkey, and
Greece. The former is a 1942 edition
and the other is from about
1933.
Chemistry
"This Chemical Age" by Hayes;
"The Chemistry and Manufacture
of Cosmetics" by De Navarre;
"Higher Mathematics for Engineers
and Physicists" by Sokolni-koff;
and "A Textbook of General
Bacteriology" by Jordan, will all
be found in the Chemistry Building
library.
Engineering
The engineering library did not
catalog as many'as the other libraries
on the campus, but theirs
include "Advanced Surveying" by
Rayner, "Colloid Systems" Bu-zagh
and "Mercerising" by Marsh.
Veterinary
The Vets have in their library
"Life of Pasteur" by Vallery-

Football Schedule Is
Tough But So Is Team
Coach Jack Meagher Has Men for Most Of
Positions on Team with Good Substitutes
By JOHN HARVEY THOMAS
With the weather turning cooler in spite of the fact that
it is still August, and with the world still in a bitter rage,
our reminiscent minds begin to wonder about the prospects
for this year's football team. A few days ago a rather "fresh"
freshman had the nerve to ask if Auburn was going to have
a football team this year. Certainly, Auburn is going to have
a football team this year, and what's more, it shows prospects
of becoming one of the best teams to represent API in two
or three years.
Coach Jack Meagher has already
cautioned his players to begin
to take a few calisthenics every
day now to take off some of
that excess summer poundage
that is so easily acquired when
one is not in training. The schedule
this year promises to be as
tough as any we've faced and
Coach Meagher doesn't want any
slackers the first few weeks of
training before we tackle U. of
Chattanooga in Montgomery on
Friday night, Sept. 18.
Losing six lettermen, James
Samford, Francis Crimmins, John
Chalkey, Lloyd Cheatham, Max
Morris, and Tex Williams,
through graduation a n d t he
armed services of the United
States, Coach Meagher will build
his team this year around fourteen
returning lettermen, twelve
seniors and two juniors.
Center Post Not Vacant
He has a letterman returning
for every position except the center
post, but he has available for
that position Junior Jim Pharr,
a 190-pounder who saw enough
service in games last season to
give him the advantage over
Sophomores Jim Bradshaw, Joe
Salsiccia, and Cy Kirsch; and
with this group showing plenty
of fighting spirit, the center position
will not be as weak as it
seems.
Leading the parade of eight
guards returning to the fold will
be none other than Capt.-Elect
Vic Costellos, that fiery 175-
charger who, in spite of his
weight, deals the opponents plenty
of trouble with that speed and
fire that he possesses. Among
those returning with him will be
Senior Jack Ferrell; Juniors,
Jack Cornelius, Merrill Girardeau,
Jimmie Rose, and those redheaded
twins J. D. and Frank
Bridgers. Sophomores expected to
return are Roy Crenshaw and
Jack Thompson.
The tackle position will be
weakened this fall due to the fact
that only six tackles will be coming
back to the Plains; but of
those six returning, two of them
are lettermen and two more have
seen plenty of action in the past
season. Jim Bradshaw saw action
at this position in Spring Practice,
and if the occasion demands,
he may pull out from his center
position to bolster this rank. Besides
lettermen Jim McClurkin
and "Jojo" Eddins, tackles Louis
Chateau, Elton Hinton, Herman
Goodwin, and George Willoughby
are expected to be in the thick of
the battle for a starting berth.
Ends Will Be Stronger
The ends will be stronger this
year than in the past, with the
return of three lettermen and
seven other pass-snaggers making
this position as firm as the rock
of Gibralter. Lettermen Clarence
"Red" Grimmett, "Fagan" Can-zoneri,
and Billy Barton will

lead this colorful group of performers,
but Herbert Burton, Carl
Fletcher, Everett Harwell, Bert
Trapini, Dan Stephens, J a ck
Easterwood, and "Bill" Ellis won't
be far behind when season play
begins.
Junior Aubrey Clayton is the
only reason Coach Meagher isn't
having quarterback sickness, but
when it comes to replacing the
seasoned performer, Coach
Meagher just isn't too happy
over the whole matter. He does
have four "rookies" however who
show promise of becoming nice
ballplayers. Clayton's under-stud-ies
this campaign will be Gene
Barranieu, A. "Babe" Gendusa,
Rudy Summers, and Stewart
Gaines.
Ah, yes, we've saved the "best-is
for lastis." Leading the contingent
of fourteen halfbacks and
fullbacks to the gridiron grind on
Sept. 1 will be none other than
those sterling lettermen Clarence
"Hawk" Harkins, Roy "Monk"
Gafford, Charles "Buffalo" Finney,
Jim "Pop" Reynolds, and
'Ty" Irby, all of whom can be
replaced by such speedsters as
Buck Jenkins, David Lyons, Tommy
Kennel, Billy Donahue, Curtis
Kuykendall, John White, and
Donald Wilkes; and by such
plungers as Mark Rainer and
Herb Strickland.
Coach Meagher has notified his
"boys" that he wants them to
come back this fall with football
on their minds, every team that
we will meet will be just as tough
as the toughest that we faced all
last season. He emphasizes the
importance and the necessity of
studying the plays over before
they get here this fall in order
that the team may get down to
hard work the first week and be
in excellent shape by Sept. 18.

Coach Meagher has just returned

a fifty yard back stroke, and j Smith
series of dives. Since the pool is
not of convenient length to run
the races, two lengths of the pool
will be considered as a fifty yard
stretch, while the hundred and
fifty yard event will be made up
of eight laps.
The new diving board, which
has" b e e n recently installed,
should be in excellent condition
for the diving competitors Thursday
night. Among the dives
which will occupy that portion
of the evening's program are the
plain front, the plain back, the
jack knife, the front or back flip,
and a series of optional fancy
dives.

The girls badminton tournament,
which has been in progress for
several weeks, has simmered
down to the semi-finals in one
division, although the other section
has hardly begun. Sarah
in rapid succession defeated
Newsome and McKinnon
to place her in the lead position
where she must wait for further
developments.

about this new streamlined football.
While there he was to see
his old friend Jim Conzelman, the
coach of the Chicago Cards pro
team who are adept at the art of
the "T" formation used so successfully
by Clark Shaughnessy
at Stanford two years ago.
So students, you may' expect
anything to happen this fall
when these mighty Tigers take
to their gridiron ways once more.
You'll be wanting to see every one
of those games if it's agreeable
with the faculty, because every
game will be packed full of
gridiron thrills and that truly
great Auburn Spirit.

Those Men in Class
1-B Had Better
Watch Their Step
Those men who are registered
in Class 1-B under the Selective
Service Act will more than likely
be called in the August call according
to an announcment from
Washington. Men so classified
will be included for the first
time in the quotas for August
assigned to local boards.
Men in this class who are called
will be used for clerical work
and light manual labor to take
the place of those who are qualified
for full military service. It
is estimated in realible sources
that almost one million men of
military service ages have been
classified in this Class; this figure
was reached at the end of the
Third Registration.
Future procedure for calling
men for this class will be. based
on possibilities indicated by the
uses found for the men inducted
in the August call and will be
formulated by the War Department
and National Headquarters.

"Something New Every Day"
Last Friday the 2nd Field Artillery
took its turn on the renowned
obstacle course and in a
blazing finish John Ball crossed
the finish line a step ahead of
Fred Morris to lead his regiment.
His time, which is the fastest yet,
was one minute and fifty-five
seconds. Following Morris came
Holloway, Creel, and Richards in
that order.

WAR BONDS
Hitler found out that his high powered
mechanized and motorized
army bogged down in the snow and
mud of the Russian Winter. Although
our Army is largely mechanized
the cavalry horse is still a
highly essential factor in this mounted
division and in the Field Artillery.
The Army also maintains remount
farms where many cavalry
horses are bred and raised.
These select horses cost from $100
to $165 and our crack cavalrymen
are expert riders and carry on the
traditions which have followed the
cavalry from the earliest days of
the Army. Purchase of War Savings
Bonds will insure good mounts for
the Cavalry. You and your neighbors
buying War Bonds and Stamps
regularly every pay day can help
buy these horses for the U. S.
Cavalry. Invest at least 10 percent
of your income in War Bonds.
