Old ROTC Trousers Are To Be
Reclaimed and Put In Use
All Students May Use Trousers Of
Similar Make and Material
All students with old ROTC pants are requested to bring
them by the Military Supply Room in the basement of Sam-ford
Hall and turn them in. This announcement was made
yesterday by the Military Department in an effort to comply
with the government's request that there be less use of what
wool there is and try to conserve all wool that is possible.
Freshmen and new students are asked to go by the sup­ply
room next Monday and Tuesday, July 6 and 7, to draw
.their new trousers and caps. All
of these students are also asked
to bring any trousers with them
to the supply room and have
them examined if they do not
want to draw new ones. The
trousers must be in good condi­tion
and will be throughly ex­amined
before the cadet is al­lowed
to wear them in lieu of
the regulation trousers that will
be issued.
The college has been asked to
conserve all the wool possible
and this program has been de­signed
to conserve wool. These
new regulations are part of the
program which has been insti­tuted.
AH those students who have
trousers which match those used
at Auburn, will not be required
to purchase new ones if, after in­spection
the old ones are found
to be in satisfactory condition.
Those students who are leav­ing
college and are not expecting
to return, may turn in their old
trousers, and if in good condition,
will receive a refund.
Those fraternities whieh have
trousers left by students who
graduated or left school, are re­quested
to turn them in to the
supply room.
The new students who are is­sued
used trousers will be re­funded
the cost between the old
and the new trousers along with
their regular refund.
Trousers which are turned in
for credit must be clean and in
good condition. Those trousers
which are turned in uncleaned
will be accepted if turned in
gratis.
USO SHOW TO BE
FREE FOR ALL
ROTC STUDENTS
ROTC cadets in uniform will
be admitted free to the USO
Show to be given in Graves
Center Saturday night at eight
o'clock. This invitation given
by the Naval Detachment in­cludes
the dates of the ROTC
cadets.
The uniform prescribed is
cap, cotton shirt, black tie, uni­form
trousers, black shoes.
Players Invite
Participation
In Activities
fiy SHIRLEY SMITH
With the sincere hope that a
premature sneezing epidemic will
not be caused, the Auburn Play­ers
have scheduled the appear­ance
of their new play, "Hay
Fever," for early August. This
comedy is the well-known Noel
Coward success.
Due to recent graduations, or
the absence of some of the vet­eran
players during the summer
quarter, there has been an almost
complete turn-over in the group
of students participating in the
present production; but, the sup­ply
of talent seems to be as good
as ever.
Although the parts have al­ready
been assigned, there is
still plenty of room for anyone
who has a hankering to learn
what goes on behind the scenes
of a play and who would like to
do stage work. By stage work we
mean doing everything from
general flunkying to painting
scenery or "running the lights."
The benefits are many. Good ex­perience
is gained and contacts
are made with other people which
will prove invaluable.
When a person has been in, or
helped with a play, he receives
the number of points his part
or job is worth; thus, automati­cally,
be becomes a member of
the actors society. Fifty points
entitles one to a bronze pin; one
hundred points, a silver pin; and
when a Player has earned one
hundred and fifty points he re­ceives
the coveted gold pin. This
is the highest honor a member
may receive.
So on any Tuesday or Thursday
afternoon after four o'clock, just
drop by the Y-Hut, which is
next door to Smith Hall, and ask
Director Peet if you can help.
Don't worry about the answer!

"Hunky Dory Revue" To Be
Presented Saturday Night
USO Revue Will Play in Amphitheater;
Service Men, ROTC Students Invited
By BOB SHARMAN
Dance teams, music, impersonations, gags, and a brilliant
cast will feature the musical show "Hunky Dory Revue" to
be presented Saturday, J u l y 4, in the Amphitheater. The re­vue,
under the auspices of USO-CAMP Shows, is only one of
fifteen big-time musicals now swinging across the country,
playing free of charge in army camps and naval stations.
The cast consists of the famous :
comedians, Ross and Stone; Sid
Marion, famed "Sing Newsboy";
"The Four Samuels," tap-dancing
specialists; The Three Smart
Girls, gifted trio of the toe and
tap dance, and Annette Ames,
diminutive comedienne. Ross, of
Ross and Stone, sings the latest
tunes, acts as master of cere­monies,
and is assisted by Maxine
Stone, acrobatic dancer, in pre­senting
the latest gags. Sid Mar­ion,
fresh from his latest Broad­way
musicals, "Streets of Paris"
and "Hold on to Your Hats", has
been singing his way into the
hearts of theater-goers since 1921.
"The Four Samuels" will present
a dashing military number as one
of the highlights of their act.
"The Three Smart Girls," who
have been featured with Sammy
Kaye's orchestra, are expected to
render several original routines
along with their act, and Annette
Ames, ranking variety performer,
will sing, dance, and cut fancy
capers with the master of cere­monies.
The show is being presented in
Auburn only for men in the serv­ice,
their families and dependents,
ROTC students in uniform, and
others who receive special in­vitations.
"Hunky Dory Revue"
will be performed out-of-doors,
weather permitting, from a USO-Camp
Show's bus, fully equipped
with stage, complete lighting and
scenery sets and public address
system. The time is 8 P. M. It
the weather is inclement the
show will be held in Langdon
Hall.
Drake Field Is Scene Of
Crack Drill Squad Activity
YESTERDAY'S PAPER
Lack of The Auburn Plains­man
yesterday was due to the
holidays this week-end and the
advisability of only one issue
this week.
By ALBERT LOEB
Old Drake Field is the scene,
these sultry summer mornings, of
some of the oddest military ma­neuvers
one could imagine. Us-sung,
unnamed, and in general
obscurity, thirty-three of Au­burn's
hardest working basic
military students have labored
long and hard unraveling the in­tricacies
of fancy drill, as intro­duced
on "the plains" by the
famed Clemson squad in 1940.
Organized in November, 1941,
by Cadet Brigade Colonel George
Austin and Cadet Captain Charles
Dubberly, the Auburn freshman
drill platoon has matured into a
precise, well-coordinated group of
seasoned sophomores who put
their all into their work. Working
toward the future, the boys have
had but one showing in the past,
their debut in Auburn Stadium
on May 20. Before a critical, but
highly pleased cadet corps, the
crack platoon made a showing
which, if mot so elaborate, was
certainly as well planned as any
such program ever presented.
Cadet Colonel Austin had drilled
the movements into his boys with
only one goal in sight—an out­standing
performance on the day
the seniors were to be commis­sioned.
The rest is history, and
Austin left, having instituted a
series of fancy and precise move­ments
to be known as the Au­burn
series.
As the summer session got un­der
way, the vacancies left by the
graduations of Austin and Dub­berly
were capably filled by Go-ree
Johnson, senior from Cam­den,
Arkansas, and Alfred Green,
senior from Atlanta, as drill mast­er
and assistant, respectively.
These officers have introduced
several new movements and in­corporated
some new ideas which
should add to the original series
immeasurably.
So four times weekly, double
the drill time of the rest of the
unit, the dust is raised on Drake
by the marching feet of the Au­burn
Crack Drill Platoon, pre­paring
to show at football games
next fall, to visit nearby cities
and towns, and to do all it can
to raise the already high stand­ards
of Auburn and its corps of
cadets.
Ice Cream Plays
Important Part
In Dairylndustry
Ice cream serves a very impor­tant
place in the economic sta­bility
of the whole dairy indus­try.
Because of its refreshing
characteristics its greatest ap­peal
to the human appetite is in
the summer months. During the
months of May through August
when the production of milk is
highest, the ice cream industry
utilizes a substantial portion of
the excess production.
Some idea of the magnitude of
this industry is gained, from the
fact that the product of more
than one million cows annually
goes into the manufacture of ice
cream. About five and a half
billion pounds of milk were need­ed
to make the 370 million gal­lons
of ice cream consumed in
the United States last year.
Ice cream is rapidly coming to
be recognized for its protective
qualities, its food value, and its
economy. Within the past eight
years, consumption has risen
from about four and one-half
quarts per person to more than
ten and one-half quarts last
year.
War Eagle Cries
The Fourth of July will not
be the same this time. Just like
there will not be another Ar­mistice
that will hold the same
meaning and significance. Back
in '76 we really did a good job
and had something to celebrate
about. Now we are all trying
to get busy again and cause
another "Fourth of July" that
will mean an Independence Day
for the wohle world. I am going
to celebrate a little though. Go­ing
to have a good time and
think of those who should be
here now and aren't. They will
be shooting off several large
blasts themselves, but not with
Zebra Brand Firecrackers. They
are really doing some damage.
Large Variety
Of Electives
Is Offered
Non-technical And
Cultural Subjects
Are Included
1 Auburn, as part of its Acceler­ated
Wartime Program, has in­cluded
a 'number of general elect­ive
courses in its summer quart­er
curriculum.
The courses are of a cultural
and non-technical nature. They
are being offered by the various
departments of the college in ord­er
to fill the schedules of stu­dents
not enrolled in military
training and to counteract the
tendency noticeable in recent
years to replace subjects of gen­eral,
cultural character with pro­fessional
or technical ones.
Readings in American Tradi­tion,
a non-literary course, is be­ing
offered by the English De­partment.
This is a survey of the
works of American leaders who
have helped to form the political
character of our country. Begin­ning
with Winthrop and other
colonial figures, and ending with
Franklin Roosevelt and Norman
Thomas, the theme of the Jeffer-sonian
philosophy of government
is traced through the history of
the nation.
Civilian Defense
'Of a practical nature is the
course in civilian defense engi­neering.
-Over sixty have al­ready
enrolled. A textbook re­cently
published by an army ex­pert
is employed, and instruction
is g i v e n concerning defense
against aerial bombardment. This
is a survey course, which is open
to all upperclassmen. It deals
with the functions of air raid
wardens, the mechanisms and
methods of handling bombs, and
types of first aid likely to be
necessary during a bombardment.
Students who are interested in
a study of musical literature may
take a course which is being of­fered
with no requirements of
musical training. Orchestral in­struments
will be exhibited and
explained, and commentaries will
be made on the works included.
A survey of musical literature
from Hayden to the present day
is planned.
Geopolitics
A course in world geography
offered by the Economics De­partment
is an introduction to
and a discussion of geopolitics.
This subject is so new that a text
book is not yet available. Classes
will be encouraged to investigate
and discuss the influence of geog­raphy
on war and politics, with
numerous lectures amplifying
their efforts. An understanding
of the regions and resources of
the world and how they affect
the military and diplomatic stat-egies
of the various countries
wili be the goal.
The English Department is of­fering
a course which deals with
masterpieces of world literature
down through the years. It is de­signed
to enrich the cultural
background of students and at
the same time is intended to give
them a more intimate knowledge
of the ideas behind the present
conflict.
Other Courses
In addition to those mentioned
above, the general elective sub­jects
include American and
World History (treated so as to
provide a background for the
wars of the twentieth century);
Introductions to Philosophy,
Astronomy, and Physiology; Ap­preciation
of Fine Arts; Chemis­try
in the Modern World; and
General Nutrition.
NEXT PAPER TUESDAY
There will be no issue of The
Auburn Plainsman Friday, and
the next issue of the paper will
be next Tuesday, July 6. This
variation from the usual is due
to the holidays and the absence
of students over the week-end.

Someone Is Fighting for Us Now
There are several questions that come
into our minds when some one speaks of
doing "his bit" for national defense or of­fense—
whichever term strikes the fancy
of the average college student of today.
"Doing his bit" it seems means coming to
summer school, trying to keep one's mind
on his books or studying while all the time
waiting to go swimming or play golf or
anything not pertaining to our national de­fense.
But, there is something else that we
think of when someone mentions "doing
his bit." This thought is not of what we
ourselves are doing at the present time
but what others are doing that is more un­selfish
and patriotic than anything we have
shown so far.
Have you a brother or husband or re­lative
in the navy? Or, should we say in
some branch of the service where he is
being trained for duty overseas.
If you have then you have probably
looked at some of these boys dressed in
white many times with the thought of
"where is he now, I wonder what he is do­ing."
You know what these boys are doing
and the part they are playing in this war.
If you do not have a relative in the serv­ice,
then you probably do not realize what
a sacrifice they are making. How would
you feel if you were in one of their shoes?
Most of us would find that we are not the
man or woman that we think we are. We
would find that these boys have what it
takes. They know what we are in. They re­alize
that we are in a war and that it must
be fought despite the opposition of a few
selfish and self-centered interests.
Most of the sailors and army men who
are now in their training period know
that it will be only a matter of months be­fore
they are in actual combat. Facing fire,
many of them for the first time. Some of
them for the last time.
Lots of these boys you see walking
around today, you will probably never see
again. They realize their own predica­ment
and are willing to give their all and
their best for their country which needs
them.
Or is it all for just the country? They
probably have loved ones back home. They
are in real danger. Oregon has been shelled
and the cry is already for more men to
take care of any chance "Pearl Harbor"
attack on our wesj; coast.
Some of these men came here four
months ago. They will soon be leaving.
Most of them for duty. When they are as­signed
to their ship they know that if it
is sunk or hit by a torpedo, they will be
the last to leave with the exception of the
captain. If the captain stays, then this
sailor walking around so happy and care­free
now, goes down to his last resting
place.
It takes real "guts" to go around whis­tling
and singing when youjcnow that in
one, two or three months you might never
be able to sing or shout again; that you
might never be able to see again; or walk
again; or move about under your own
power again; or be capable of having a
home and all the things a man can love and
wants all his life.
Some of us could use some of these
"guts." We need them. We do plenty of
shouting and singing. But, our future is
not as dark as theirs.
We do not know much about the Navy
or the Army as yet. But, we do know that
they have to work and work hard and
long. They study and practice until al­most
perfection. Their hours are early to
bed and early to rise. But during that
time they give the United States the best
that is in them, knowing full well that it
is a matter of time before they will meet
death face to face, many of them never
to return."
We complain. They never complain.
Even when dances and initiations keep
them up to all hours of the night, they
never complain. Silently they clean up
the mess that we leave on their grounds
and then go back to the studying and hard
living that is required of all men who live
and die for their country.
You may think this is a lot of bologna.
Then think of this. They are in there
fighting and working and studying because
they do not want to see the things hap­pen
to the girls of this country, state
and city, that are happening to the girls
where the Japanese soldiers are now, or
the German soldier. Think about this and
wonder how you would feel if it were a
Jap soldier or sailor raising "all that
noise." ...
We as college students had better wake
up and at least begin to live. There is a
war going on. Some are working and
fighting to keep this country free. Others
are studying to go and take the places of
the ones who have fallen. They -may fall
themselves, but that is of second import­ance.
This country is free and they want it
to remain so. They are doing their part
in every way possible, even to giving their
lives. What are we doing besides com­plaining?
Does Everybody Carry a Knife??
For years the Auburn student body has
raved and ranted and torn its hair about
the lack of new buildings and space with
which to conduct its classes without be­coming
so congested.
Finally, came the promised day when
the college was able to get enough funds
and support to build one of the most com­plete
new modernistic buildings on any
campus in the state.
The students moved into the new build­ing
on Thach Avenue. For a time every
thing was all right. The students appreci­ated
the work and time and money spent
on the building in their behalf. At first we
treated the new building with all the re­spect
that is due a high personage. Some­thing
new and something that has been
wanting for a long time, deserves respect.
Then the newness began to wear off
after two classes had graduated. People
\
(students) lost their respect and began to
look upon the building as just another
"barn" to go to for classes.
Go over now and look at the desks and
the floors and the walls. Deep gouges mark
the efforts of some of these students to
leave their mark in college. Cigarette
burns on the desks and on the floors give
evidence of the presence of several stu­dents
who disregarded the requests "Do
not smoke in this room."
are doing all the mutilating. We hardly
think the freshmen have had time to do all
the damage that we have noticed lately.
We do not know who to lay the blame
on. We are not trying to point out any par­ticular
group. But, we are asking this.
That the students who are entering now
take it upon themselves to see that no
more of this happens . . . in any building
especially our newest and most complete.
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.
We were delighted Friday to
find our new neighbor on the
editorial page. We have always
liked company, especially clever
company, and most especially
female company.
* * *
We also like the name, Quad­ratics.
We feel that perhaps the
topics under discussion might be
m o r e appropriately entitled
Quadrantics, but that might of­fend
some of said topics.
* * *
Quadrangle would carry no
more information than the Quad
part of Quadratics, so that would
be a silly name. Anyhow, it's not
the angle part that anyone is in­terested
in. We won't mention
the you-know-whats, but how
about the lines? Quadlines would
be a catchy title, but there is al­ready
an oversupply of lines in
the location mentioned.
* * *
We talked with the mathe­matician
responsible for Hades
reached the following agreement:
They will attend to the business
at the Quadrangle (including any
wrangles): we will stick our noses
(no, we're not a freak with two
of the things, it's that editoral
"we" again) into anything else­where
on the campus; and all of
us will let the rest of the world
run itself (unless, of course, we
inherited some of the Plainsialk
fueds.)
* * *
After an afternoon of watching
diving at the lake, we have come
to the conclusion that "patter" is
just as necessary to a diver as it
is to a magician. We evolved the
following instructions for some of
the more elementary dives:
* * *
The simplest dive is the plain
front dive. It is performed by
just splashing in head first and
saying, as soon as you emerge
from the water, "I just can't seem
to be able to keep my feet to­gether
today."
* * •
The jacknife is almost as easy.
Begin by standing on the plat­form
and bending over to touch
your toes, remarking, "Hm. Pret-.
ty stiff today, 'fraid I won't make
it." Then do just as in the plain
front, except the remark upon
emerging is, "Nope. Just as I
thought, too stiff."
* * *
The half twist is not difficult.
The dive is performed in the
same manner as the previous
ones, except once you are in the
air you must swing and kick mad­ly.
This results in your making
a tremendous splash when you
hit. You must then appear to be
very dazed and say, "I haven't
been sleeping enough lately; my
balance is all shot."
* » *
The flips are an easy series of
dives. The patter is very simple.
Just a brief explanation of why
you always land on your face or
your back is all that is required.
The one-and-a-half will serve as
an example. Should you turn too
far and land on your back, the .
proper comment is, "I never am
able to stop at one-and-a-half."
If you fail to turn far enough
and thus land on your face, say,
"I knew I shouldn't have tried
to stretch that one.
* * *
Just before trying anything
even slightly complicated, you
must always shout to someone at
least fifty yards away to stand
by to pull you out 'cause this one
will probably kill you. This serves
the double purpose of calling at­tention
to you and making the
dive seem dangerous.
* * *
The most common dive, that one
which carries a name signifying
the bustin' of part of one's anat­omy,
is performed largely by the
help of the audience. The diver
casts himself upon the water in
a strictly horizontal position with
as great a splash as possible. All
spectators then chorus, "Oooohh!"
This chorus is required by law in
all states except Wisconsin, where
"Oh my stomach!" may be sub­stituted.
« * *
Phil, our Private Poet, puts his
word in as follows:
I don't dig
All this re-hashing.
I've always thought
That splashing's splashing.

Q u a d r a t i c s
By ALLEN ODOM
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies ot this paper.
Hades Daquiri informs me that
several complaints have been
made about the obscurity of our
title, "Quadratics." In explana­tion:
Aside from the fact that it
first alludes to the Quadrangle,
it is a column for women. And
since quadratic equations are
problems having more than one
unknown quantity multiplied by
themselves, or something equally
confusing, we figured it might be
appropriate. We've been told that
girls are sort of complicated, too.
* * *
We received the following letter
in the mail the other day.
Dear Quadratician,
The name of your typewriter,
Hades Daquiri, puzzled me a
great deal at first, but after some
analysis of a very deep nature,
I believe I have arrived at the
correct explanation. In rereading
your column, (and I'm sure that
puts me in a class by myself) I
noted that you failed to mention
her name until after she refused
"to talk." That was the clue. You
named her in those moments of
wrath. Now her given name re­quired
no deduction. It is a syno­nym
for such things as this pres­ent
Auburn weather, or Satur­day
morning quizzes. The Da­quiri
proved a bit difficult, how­ever.
Let us break the word down
into its component parts: Da and
quiri. The Da, I concluded, is an
abbreviated form of that most
useful four-letter word beginning
in that manner, and rhyming with
jam. The quiri is, quite logically,
a corruption of the Spanish quira,
meaning something associated
with the tropics. So I concluded
that when TPWR kept her "keys
buttoned," the temperature of
your temper soared and you
promptly christened her Hades
Daquiri.
The only thing that I care to
add is a bit of advice to Hades.
I don't think you should lift an­other
letter to the ribbon until
said Quadratician apologizes and
promises to petition the courts to
have your name changed to some­thing
sweet and soothing like
Elysium Antartica.
Sincerely,
Margaret Kilburn.
* » *
Hades is a firm believer in two
principles: the divine right of
typewriter owners to call their
typewriters what seems fitting,
and if you knew Hades like 1 do
you'd admit that it is most fitting;
and that a gal must have some
mystery . . . or she won't be
glamorous. So in the interest of
her glamor she refuses to divulge
the true story of how, when, and
why she is so-called.
» » *
And now for an innovation . . .
we wonder if there will be any
objections to our WOMAN OF
THE WEEK thought. Just for a
try, here it is:
(Flourish) as we say in Shake­speare.
WOMAN OF THE WEEK: No
statistics are available, but facts
based on a figure point clearly to
June Adams as Brigadier-General
of the Camouflage Corps. Only it
ain't camouflage; she really looks
that way. Speaking of co-ed
glamour, I'm sure a Galloping
poll on this campus would estab­lish
Miss Adams with or without
a photographic finish as one of
the top glamour girls.
«• * *
Any further nominations for
WOMAN OF THE WEEK will be
welcomed with outstretched arms
by Hades Daquiri, Room 104,
Dorm. 1.
In every Tuesday issue of The Auburn Plainsman—beginning with
this one—there will be a pen portrait or character sketch of a sailor
connected with the Navy Training School at Auburn.
Today we would like for you to meet Second Class Seaman Robert
E. Scheufler, who is commander of Company B of the local naval
contingent.
Seaman Scheufler might be termed a rather "small" man, since
he stands only six feet, one and a half inches, and weighs a measly
two hundred and five pounds. He's good-looking, girls—he has curly
hair, nice eyes, and an attractive smile. But he's already married.
Born in Sandusky, Ohio, a small town sixty miles west of Cleveland,
Robert, an only son, moved with his family to the adjacent city not
long after his graduation from high school. His first job was an ap­prenticeship
with his uncle, a plumbing contractor in Cleveland.-
The most momentous occasion of_Robert's life occured in San
Diego; he left Cleveland for this city in January, 1941, in order to
spend a month's vacation. After one week in the west coast city he
was introduced to a most attractive young lady. And, after three more
weeks, the great moment arrived. Following the honeymoon, Seaman
Scheufler and Mrs. Scheufler made their home in Cleveland.
The events of December 7, 1941, affected Robert to a great extent.
He felt that he should help his country in its time of grave need. So,
on January 19, despite a 3-A classification, he severed his business
connections and enlisted in the United States Navy.
After being in the Navy approximately three months, Seaman
Scheufler was sent to Auburn. This has been his temporary home for
the past ten weeks and he likes it here very much.
Robert always likes to lok back on his amateur boxing career.
He entered the California Golden Gloves Tournament while visiting
California in 1934. He advanced successfully in every round until
he reached the semi-finals. In the second round of this match he was
knocked out by a man who, according to his description, "was ex­tremely
large." This was Robert's last fight (in the ring). He has never
returned to the sport since that day, but at the present time it would
take a mighty good man to handle Second Class Seaman Scheufler,
for he is not exactly what you call "soft."
Town and Campus
By LEONARD HOOPER
The other night, I was down at The Auburn Plainsman office, hard
at work, as usual, when I was approached by Mr. Taylor (William
Buck), who said to me, "Buddie, get an interview for tomorrow with
Miss Bertha Finkelstein of the Home Economics department." I said
"OK . . . Huh? What's the story about?"
At five the next afternoon, I appeared at the place, The "L"
building. The building was entirely new to me. Over the door I saw
a sign saying "State Toxicologists' Bureau." To myself I murmured
"Can this be the place she meant?"
In a few minutes, along came a pleasant little young lady. I rushed
up and said "(gulp) Are you Miss Finklestein?"
She said, "Yes come inside," and ushered me into a long clean room
which I assumed was a Home Ec lab. She led me over to four cages
on a table and said, "Here's your story."
Rats!! To Eat!!
"My Nutrition classes are holding experiments with these rats to
prove that the average co-ed's diet is not all that it might be. In these
cages are some white rats who are each four weeks old (we have
cages are some white rats who are each four weeks old. We took them
all from the same litter when they were two weeks old. They are fed
on a diet of: (for breakfast) tomato juice, buttered toast, coffee; (for
dinner) an egg sandwish, apple pie; (for supper) a hamburger, po­tatoes,
carrots, corn muffins and jelly. The first rats get all they want
to eat of this, and also milk to drink.
"The second rats get all they want to eat, but instead of milk,
they drink Coca-Cola. You can see the difference in them already.
See, after only two weeks' time, you can tell the results of not getting
milk in the diet. See how the second rat's hair is shorter and coarser
than the one from the first ^eage?
Better Eat Breakfast
It was really a remarkable contrast. Then we turned to the third
and fourth cages. "The rats in the third cage get the same weight of
food to eat each day as that they ate the day before, while those in
the fourth cage have the same thing, without the breakfast rations.
See how much smaller they are, and how listless? This is the equiv­alent
of the co-ed's going without breakfast, and its disastrous effects
upon the physique."
Gawrsh! I'm going to eat breakfast from now on. I've learned my
lesson. I won't be a sick rat all my life.

One great fallacy of American people is that you have to get their
emotions stirred up before they take direct action. Nobody, not even
the best informed people, in a neighborhood as peaceful as this can
realize fully the horrors of a war that is being fought right now by
our parents, sons, uncles, nephews and cousins. In America many of
the hoi polloi do not even come out to vote until you get them angry.
Once you stir their emotions then you have the same moving force
that makes us invincible, that has given us our glorious heritage of
such immortal phrases as "Damn the torpedoes, go ahead." "Don't
shoot until you see the whites of their eyes" and Patrick Henry's
super American creedo "Give me liberty or give me death."
* * *
Now the next three months are important. So far much effort
has been "too little and too late." If you have not already seen it,
go to your nearest newsdealer and get a copy of LIFE magazine dated
June 29th or TIME magazine dated June 22nd. Turn to page 34 of
the former and then to page 32 of the latter. See the ghastly pictures
of cold-blooded murder of women and children 'by the Nazis in
Russia and read of the village of Lidice, where every man in town
was rounded up and shot, every woman sent to a concentration
camp, and every child to an "education institution" to warp their
little minds and imbue them with Nazi brutality and immorality.
* * *
Read them and think about them and we feel that you will not
be irritated by such mundane things as the hours of exercise or
marching men calling cadence at 6:45 in the morning. Read them
and get angry and go out and buy yourself as many war bonds as
you can, pick up all scrap rubber, and then if you still don't feel
satisfied, see your local recruiting officer and perhaps he can ar­range
for you to get personal satisfaction. IT CAN HAPPEN here
and it will happen here but for the fact that there are too many
Americans that will get angry and get in harness and start pulling
for victory.
* * *
To us it seems a remarkable insight into the character of our
men that a young man who, within the short span of a few weeks,
will be out there in the thick of the fights, can calmly walk across
the campus at 7 A. M. whistling "Yankee Doodle." To our ears the
tramp of marching feet and the calling of cadence is one of the most
pleasant sounds in the, world right now, especially when they are
our boys and they are getting ready to go out and do their bit. To
us it is much more pleasant than the sound of bursting bombs or
screams of defenseless women and children.
* * *
Ever so often sitting up on Graves Hill among the dryland pines
we seem to hear a voice far off calling out that old:
"Sunset and an evening star,
And one clear call for me,
Let there be no moaning at the bar,
When I put out to, sea."
We see the sleek bow of Uncle Sam's Greyhounds of the Deep,
dipping into the rolling waves of the Pacific, and smell the smoke
of gunpowder; we hear the noise of rippling water along the side
of the ship and we hear the clear, crisp voice of our shipmates of
old calling "All stations manned and READY." We feel the hush
of expectancy before-an engagement and We hear our shipmates
talking nonchalantly of small things. The "call is coming and we
are "Ready" too.

Week-end Full

Pi Kappa Phis
Have Initial
Dance of Year
By KATE NUNGESTER
The social life at Auburn this
past week-end was varied to say
the least. Several fraternities held
functions of one sort or another
and most of them included dances.
Other Greek societies gave par­ties,
picnics, swimming picnics
and several other interesting en­tertainments.
The Pi Kappa Phi formal and
house party of last week-end be­gan
the summer social season.
The girls' gym on Opelika Road
was the scene of the dance festiv­ities
and was beautifully decorat­ed
in the blue, white and gold of
the fraternity.
Miss Elsie Walker, leading the
dance with prexy Bob Guillot
wore a white bouffant net dress,
and white carnations in her hair.
The fraternity presented each
girl with a gold braclet bearing
fraternity crest during the lead
out. The members of the fratern­ity
and their dates walked from
the east wall of the gym across
the floor forming path down
which Miss Walker and Presi­dent
Bob Guillot walked to be
received by Mrs. Mary Zeigler,
house mother, who presented Miss
Walker with a bouquet of red
roses, the fraternity flower.
The Auburn Knights were at
their best, presenting several new
numbers, including, "When John­ny
Comes Marching Home
Again," and "Sky Lark."
After the dance the Pi Kappa
Phis entertained at a breakfast
at the fraternity house.
PiKA
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity
entertained with one of their
famous parties Saturday night.
The affair started at three in the
afternoon at Chewacla where the
guys and gals did a little swim­ming
and later had a picnic. Af­ter
drying off they returned to
the PiKA house and had one of
their famous roll up the rug, bare
foot dances. According to reports
a good time was had by all.
Sigma Nu
The most unusual party of the
week-end was the barn dance
held at the Sigma Nu house.
Everybody came in Little Abner
dress and indulged in a little
square dancing in addition to the
usual kind. The house was dec­orated
in the approved manner
with hay and plows scattered
about . . . and an out-house in
the side yard. Chief entertain­ment
of the evening was the floor
show, given by six negro jitter­bugs.
Mrs. J. O. Reid, house
mother served sandwiches and
punch.
Phi Kappa Tau
The members of the Phi Kap­pa
Tau fraternity entertained
their pledges Saturday night with
the most outstanding house dance
given by the fraternity this year.
Members and dates of the chap­ter
who attended the dance were:
Jack Moore, Josephine Browne;
Hoyt Watkins, Beulah Crawford;
Paul Ericksen, Mary Willis Hicks;
Joe Venerella, Gay Murphy;

Hits and Misses
On the Intramural Front
By CHARLES SCALES
Following up a fast start, fra­ternity
softball set a fiery pace
through the latter part of last
week's sports world as league
standings and team statistics be­gan
to take shape.
Thursday afternoon a slugging
ALT team downed the Lambda
Chi Alphas 13 to 7. Paced by
Henry, stellar third baseman who
rapped out 3 for 4, the ALTs col­lected
17 hits during the after­noon,
while from the mound Dunn
managed to hold the Lambda
Chi stickmen to 6 hits, making
several brilliant strikeouts.
In the other game between the
TEPs and the Phi Kappa Taus
play was called at the close of
the third inning due to an incom­plete
lineup of the TEP ball club.
Led by the steady hitting of
Stahnke and Terry, who each
knocked out 2 hits for 3 times at
the plate, the PiKAs rode over
the Kappa Alpha ball team in
high gear Friday afternoon with
the scoreboard finally reading 7-2.
Pitching a beautiful game for the
PiKAs, Stahnke held the KA
club to 3 scattered base hits,
though Pryor managed to con­nect
solidly with one to send it
out of the park for the game's
only homer.
High scorer for the first week
was the Sigma Nu team which
pounded out 20 runs the same
afternoon to smother a weaken­ing
Sigma Pi crew. Hollings-worth
backed by an errorless in­field,
held the losers to 5 hits; and
only 2 Sigma Pis managed to
cross the plate. Not satisfied with
merely pitching though, Hollings-worth
along with Roberts led
the Snakes at the plate as well.
Both hit 4 for 4 plus a walk to
bring their batting average to the
1.000 level.
Several open tournaments are
starting on the campus next
week, and they should be of in­terest
to you men who fail to
get enough exercise at 11 'o'clock.
Open horseshoe matches, both
singles and doubles, and open
table tennis doubles will be held.
Entries must be in at the Intra­mural
office by Monday, July 6,
so make a note of the date on
your shirt cuff.
* * *
We mentioned once before that
a number of scorekeepers were
neered by the Department for the
summer sports. Evidently few
men read our column; at any
rate, few men showed up for the
jobs. Surely there are some of
you students who do not partic­ipate
in softball and the other
events, but who do enjoy watch­ing
the games. You are the men
we need, and certainly you can
spare a few afternoons a week
to help the school's intramural
program.
* * *
It's orchids for Ben Whitehead,
spectacular shortstop on the Sig­ma
Pi ball club. Although his
team lost both games this week,
his defensive play under the
heaviest pressure has been su­perb.
Watch this man; he's going
places in Auburn's s o f t b a ll
league.
* * *
With the gym pool open day
and, night you potential swim­ming
stars should be getting
plenty of practice for the open
swim meet to be held early in
August. The particulars aren't
ready for release yet, but entries
are being accepted now.

Three fraternities opened their
softball schedules with victories
in their first games during the
past week-end Winners were Pi
Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu and Al­pha
Lambda Tau over Kappa Al­pha,
Sigma Pi and Lambda Chi.
The Sigma Nus unlashed a ter­rific
batting attack to hand the
Sigma Pis their second straight
loss and place them in the
league cellar. Stahnke, PiKa,
pitched a good brand of ball to
defeat the KAs 7-2, Terry was the
leading hitter for the winners.
The boys of ALT found the pitch­ing
of the Lambda Chi hurlers to
their liking Thursday and pound­ed
out 17 hits to bring in 13 runs

Ann Sothern and Red Skel­ton
will be the co-stars in the
comedy "Maisie Gets Her Man,"
which opens at the Tiger for two
days, Wednesday.
Comedy is the keynote of the
new M-G-M film, the most suc­cessful
of the series about Brook­lyn-
born Maisie.
Although cast as a corny
vaudeville comic who doesn't
quite make the grade, Skelton
has never been funnier. An army-camp
sequence which concludes
the film is one of the most hilari­ous
scenes of the season, thanks
to expert comedy talent. As
Maisie, Miss Sothern has never
been more brilliantly entertain­ing.

Navy Organizes
Ball Team To
Challenge All
Under the supervision of Chief
Petty Officer Ray Brown, ath­letic
director of the Naval Train­ing
Center at Graves Center, a
baseball squad has been organ­ized
as part of the physical train­ing
program of the sailors.
The team is made up of those
sailors who have shown an in­terest
in the sport and who wish
to compete with all outsiders, and
those desiring games with the
sailors are urged to get in touch
with him immediately at the Nav­al
Training Center Headquarters
in Graves Center. Out-of-town
games are being sought by the
sailors, too.
Only three or four of the team's
members have actually played on
some baseball squad before com­ing
to Auburn, and though the
squad is a bit green, Chief Brown
vows that they are a real match
for almost all typ^s of opposition.
The players' spirits are high and
with a good deal of practice they
should form a very formidable
ball club.
This past week-end the sailor-

they have moved to the "back room" or given to the children to
play with. If in good condition, it would afford much entertainment
on one side of a cabin for about sixteen boys.

A junior walks to the left of a senior, catching up and passing
requests, "By your leave Sir" before passing, gets in a boat first and
gets out last; salutes a senior first and the senior is required to re­turn
that salute, sits to the left and right alternately at a table in
accordance with rank with the senior at the head, these and others
are customs and laws of the Navy
A sailor has no cap except for a blue "Watch Cap" which is a
stocking like affair and so called and prepared in order that sailors
might wear them down over their ears in extremely cold weather.
The white and blue head covering that civilians here will normally
see are "White Hats and Blue Hats." Sailors do not ever wear
blouses or middys, they wear jumpers. Sailors call their undercloth­ing
"Skivies" and sometimes trade them to natives in the South
Seas for beads and other trinkets. Sailors usually have scrap books,
photo albums, and many other odds and ends which they pick up
here and there. Usually they refer to these items as "Junk" but
you couldn't buy them.
boys trounced two town teams
composed of college students with
rather comparative ease as the
scores will indicate: 7-2 and 8-0.
Saturday afternoon the sailors
combined their efforts coupled
with a neat bit of left-handed,
hurling to subdue a strong Wittel
Dormitory team by a score of 7
to 2. Then on Sunday afternoon
the sailor boys defeated the Sig­ma
Nu fraternity nine soundly
as they rushed over eight runs
while holding their opposition
scoreless.
