Tigers Aiming for
Second in SEC Meet
LSU Favored to Win; Alabama, Florida,
And Tech Will Dispute Fight for Second
By BOOTS STRATFORD
Completing their dual meet schedule with wins over
Mississippi State, Georgia and Georgia Tech, and losing
to Florida by a small margin, Coach Wilbur Hutsell's spik­ed
shoes squad will enter the Southeastern Conference meet
today and tomorrow in Birmingham as co-favorites along
with Florida and Alabama for the second-place spot be­hind
the invincible Tigers of LSU.
Morgan, Dickinson, and Bulger will wear the Orange
and Blue for the last time on
Legion Field, and they are all
figured to enter heavily into the
scoring. Morgan will be defending
his title of conference high-hurdle
champion, which event he won last
year with a 14.8 flight to defeat
Vassa Cate of Georgia. Cate lick­ed
the Auburn stickman in a dual
meet this season, but Morgan has
since "regained form, skimming
the barriers in 14.9 in the Tech
dual meet, and will probably do
much better when pushed by the
fast company in the conference
meet, such as Jimmy Gilliland,
LSU sophomore, and ' the above-mentioned
Cate.
The Tiger captain will also be
a top contender for low-hurdle
honors, copping third place last
year, and will be counted on for
points in the high jump, also. His
mark of 6' 3 % " in the Tech meet
marks his return to the form of
his sophomore year in this event
when he was co-conference champ­ion,
although he is not expected
to better the leaps of Alabama's
Kelly Horn and LSU's J. C. De-vall.
Bob Dickinson, trim little war
horse, will probably come through
with several valuable points in
both sprint events and will likely
rule as favorite in the broad jump
along with Billy Brown of LSU,
on the strength of his better than
24 foot leap against Florida.
"Bobby Dick" received a raw
deal in the '39 meet when he won
his heat in the 100-yard dash,
only to be overlooked by the
judges in their placement of the
contestants, thus failing to quali­fy
for the finals. But this year
promises to be a different story,
for the Tiger tracksters has beat­en
such top-notch dash men as
Kearney of Florida and Pair and
Beals of Georgia Tech and has
run a 21.5-second 220 around a
curve in competition this spring,
which is a blistering furlong in
any man's track meet. So Dickin­son
is to be reckoned with in the
speed events.
Chet Bulger is another man
showing improvement, h a v i ng
heaved the shot 48' 8" in the Tech
met, although this was but an
inch better than the toss of his
teammate Jim Stephenson. They,
with John Smith of Florida and
Millard White of Tulane, will
fight it out for first. "The Chet-ter"
will also figure strongly in
the javelin thrust and the discus
throw.
Other Tiger thinly-clads making
the trip are Jim Stephenson, An­drew
Singletary, "Babe" McGe-hee,
Jack Cagle, "Rat" Russell,
Jim Holley, Bob Morton, Bob
Flournoy and Bud Wendling.
Four of the meet records now
on the books appear in danger—
the high jump, the pole vault, the
javelin thrust and the mile relay.
LSU figures in three of these,
events strongly.
The high jump record is 6' 5 Vt",
and Kelly Horn of Alabama has
cleared 6' 7%" this spring, while
J. C. Devall, LSU sophomore has
topped 6' 6%" in competition.
Eldon Wonacott of Louisiana
has cleared 13' 8" this year in
the pole vault, while the old
record is held by Wayne Downey
of Alabama at 13' 6%", so this
record too seems in peril.
Salisbury, Georgia j a v e l in
thruster and the LSU mile-relay
team are others that have broken
the existing conference meet
records.
REV. J. CLYDE TURNER of
Greensboro, N. C, will deliver the
baccalaureate sermon at the ex­ercises
in the Auburn Stadium on
May 26.

It was announced this morning
by Executive Secretary Ralph B.
Draughon that a general letter re­garding
next year's Freshman
Orientation Week would be mailed
to all upperclassmen during the
summer months, and that all fresh­men
would receive a detailed pack­et
of instructions regarding the
Week as soon as their high school
credits arrive here.
It is planned to have all fresh­men
register for the 1940-41 term
on Monday, September 8. Registra­tion
will be followed by a week of
recreational and general placement
activities.
Mr. Draughon stated this morn­ing
that the Orientation Week
Committee, now composed of Mr.
Charles W. Edwards, Dr. Edward
E. Cureton, Dr. Rosa Lee Walston,
Prof. E. B. Smith, and Dr. R. B.
Doner, would be expanded as plans
assume a more detailed form.
The week of orientation will in­clude
placement tests, recreational
activities, physical examinations
and health instruction, and "get ac­quainted"
activities in the various
divisions of the college. Some time
during the week* it is planned to
have all freshmen gather in the
stadium to watch fall football
practice.
When final plans for Orientation
Week have been completed, a gen­eral
letter will be mailed to all up­perclassmen
asking their coopera­tion,
and a packet of specific in^
structions regarding the activities
of the Week will be mailed each
prospective freshman as soon as
his high school credits have been
received, Mr. Draughon said.
A number of upperclassmen are
to be asked to assist with Orienta­tion
Week activities.
In cooperation with the program
for Orientation Week, the Inter-fraternity
Council has adopted a
set of rules to regulate rushing
during this period, as follows:
1. All unpledged freshmen must
be out of all fraternity houses by
11:00 p. m. during the orientation
period.
2. No fraternity member may be
seen with, or talk to, any unpledg­ed
freshman between the hours of
11:00 p. m. and 7:00 a. m. during
the orientation period.
3. No fraternity may, through
any of its members, cause either di­rectly
or indirectly, a freshman to
be absent from any scheduled event
of the orientation period.
4. These rules will go into effect
Sunday night, September 8, at
11:00 p. m.
5. Violations will be punishable
by a fine of $100.

Sigma Chi Wins
All-Year Sports
trophy For 'Murals
C a p t u r e First Place by
One Point; F i g u r e s to
Be C h e c k e d Once More
By a margin of a lone point
Sigma Chi fraternity, an unex­pected
contender, has apparently
won the interfraternity trophy for
all-year intramural sports compe­tition
the intramural sports office
said yesterday.
Sigma Nu and SAE, the two
fraternities from which the win­ner
was expected to come, stood
second and third in total participa­tion
points.
On Monday of this week Sigma
Chi stood in fourth place and was
accorded no chance of accumu­lating
enough points to win the
coveted award, but an unexpected
first place in the tennis tourna­ment
pushed them to the front.
Prof. E. B. Smith, director of
intramural sports, said yesterday
that point standings would be
carefully rechecked before the
trophy is awarded, because of the
closeness of the top teams.
The Sigma Chi's win in the ten­nis
matches was their initial first-place
victory of the year, but they
have piled up their large total of
points through an impressive list
of firsts and seconds.

Beta Kappa's Win Intramural Softball
For Second Time by Defeating Kappa Sigrs
Marion Montgomery
Leads Beta Kap's in W in
Beta Kappa, the defending
champion, recaptured the inter­fraternity
softball crown Tuesday
afternoon on Bullard Field by de­feating
the Kappa Sigma's 5-1 in
the last game of the playoffs.
Led by third baseman Marion
Montgomery, who garnered two
home runs, the Beta Kap's caught
on to the offerings of Garth
Thorpe, while Karl Fogg kept the
Kappa Sig's fairly well handcuff­ed.
Bill Gallagher, Kappa Sig
third baseman, collected a triple
to lead his team in long blows.
The champions garnered a to­tal
of 14 hits, while the Kappa
Sig's could get only five.
Tuesday's was the deciding
game in the double-elimination
playoffs, since the Kappa Sig's
had lost one game to the SPE's
and the Beta Kappa's had lost one
to the Kappa Sig's.
Theta Chi and SPE were the
two other league winners partici­pating
in the playoffs.
Cabinet Discusses
Proposed Changes
In Social Committee
Plans for changes in the set-up
of the Social Commitee have been
discussed at the last two meetings
of the Executive Cabinet, President
John Ivey said yesterday. Although
nothing permanent has been de­cided
upon yet, both students and
faculty members are working on
proposed changes and some of them
may be put into effect next year,
King said.
Members of the Cabinet for next
year have been attending Cabinet
sessions and have already been
sworn in by President L. N. Dun­can.
At last week's meeting Execu­tive
Secretary Ralph Draughon
was preesnt and discussed plans
for Freshman Orientation Week,
asking the cooperation of the Cab­inet
in the undertaking.

"Sweet Auburn! Loveliest Vil­lage

Plainsman.
Welcome Again, Colonel
IN all Auburn no one man. out­side
of the college president has
any more influence than does the
ROTC commandant. That fact a-lone
puts a new commandant at a
handicap. But when a newcomer
steps into the shoes of a man that
Auburn loved as it did Col. Fred
C. Wallace, then success is a doub­ly
difficult achievement.
Remember last spring when the
cadet corps paraded before the ap­propriations
committee of the leg­islature?
Just after the parade had
begun the clouds burst and the rain
and hail fell in torrents. The leg­islators
and the spectators fled to
shelter, and the ranks almost broke
as men moved forward to leave.
But they looked—there in the road,
drenched by the same torrent and
pounded by the same hail, stand­ing
at attention and saluting each
time the colors passed, stood "the
colonel."
Not a man left the ranks, not
a battery faltered, and they all
went by in good order with the
hail beating directly in their eyes
and every man's uniform a leaden
mass. Not until the last cadet was
off the field did Colonel Wallace
leave his post.
Remember, too, how he paid his
last visit to ROTC camp last sum­mer
before leaving for Washing­ton
and how the Auburn boys de­serted
their tents and cheered him
as he rode away.
Col. John J. Waterman stepped
into the post of commandant in
September, facing the skepticism
of the cadets, • particularly his
senior officers, who felt that no
man could ever win again the place
in their affections that Colonel
Wallace had held.
But they were wrong. Col.
Waterman has.
Maybe it was plucking a rat cap
from a freshman's head at a pep
meeting and donning it before
talking to the boys, maybe it was
the ready smile and the friendly
greeting combined with a soldier­ly
air. Possibly it was the manner
in which he has fallen so whole­heartedly
in line with the Auburn
Spirit, maybe it was the ever-ready
ear he has had for any student who
wished to say anything. Or prob­ably
it's a combination of a num­ber
of things.
The respect, the admiration, and
the genuine affection of 1,800 men
is not something easily won. But
once won they constitute a feeling
that is as strong as steel and im­measurably
valuable.
Nine months ago, Colonel, Au­burn
welcomed you — to Auburn.
Now, Auburn welcomes you—to its
heart.
Auburn, The Crossroads
AUBURN's reputation as Ala­bama's
"convention city" and as
a gathering spot for notables who
visit the state has been more than
carried out during this school year.
Looking at the past year in re­view
the list of celebrities is as­tounding
:
Mrs. Roosevelt, Postmaster-Gen­eral
Farley, H. V. Kaltenborn,
Maurice Hindus, the Don Cossack
Chorus, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen
Rohde, and former minister to Al­bania
Hugh Grant are among the
top-flighters, and Sen. Robert La-
Follette will be here in a few days.
Add to this such names as Dr.
Katherine Gilbert, outstanding
psychiarist, Maurice Eisenberg,
Joseph Battista, Ralph Pearson,
Tony Sarg and his marionettes, the
Don Cossack Chorus, Dr. Richard
Foster of the University of Ala­bama,
and the Oxford Debaters.
Hal Kemp, Russ Morgan, Eddy
Duchin, and Jack Teagarden head­line
the list of dance bands visit­ing
the campus during the year.
Other musical organizations stop­ping
over have been the Alabama
Madrigal Club, the Athens Glee
Club, the GSCW Aeolian Guild
Singers, and the Huntingdon Glee
Club.
Presbyterian Students of the
state, the Reserve Officers Asso­ciation,
Alpha Psi fraternity and
Extension Service and Soil Conser­vation
workers also convened here
in the past nine months.
Last spring President Roosevelt
himself stopped in Auburn and
spoke briefly. For next year, Helen
Jepson, famous soprano, and the
United States Marine Band are
two attractions already scheduled
to appear on API stages.
Auburn has become Alabama's
"convention city" and "attrac­tion"
city. If one wanted to take
in all the attractions offered, he'd
almost have to resign from college
to do it, there are so many of
them.
Well?

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.
NO doubt there were a few burning
faces round the campus after Ye Ed
came forth Tuesday with his "Letter
to the Auburn Student Body," because
some of those licks
hit home.
Only those who are
close in their associa­tion
with the paper
know how many stu­dents
and organiza­tions
think that "co­operation"
consists
entirely of the other
fellow doing the co­operating.
And good-ness
only knows the
C*?//A/ li/ey patience and the tact-fulness
it has taken to handle the
groups which believe that the title of
the publication is "official drum beat­er"
instead of "official student news­paper,"
and, of course, the drum must
be beat for their own private little proj­ect
or organization. Probably some of
those were a little embarrassed, too.
* * *
At times we all forget that the Plains­man
is a newspaper, just as was point­ed
out. One of the worst verbal lash­ings
we ever got was when we protest­ed
at long length and with great vio­lence
because an Executive Cabinet
story had been given less space and
prominence than another. It took some
30 minutes to make us see that the
other story was much better news and
that our viewpoint of the Cabinet story
was a little warped by our being an of­ficer
of the organization.
And the same thing has occurred
time and again with others. We hap­pened
to be a member of the staff and
a close friend, so we got what was com­ing
to us.

See via the Associated Collegiate
Press that Harvard University's Widen-er
Library has quite an arrangement to
facilitate students' returning books
when the library is closed.
The complicated gadget is described
as follows in the "Rube Goldberg" man­ner:
"Student slides book (A) through
slot (B), down slide (C), to tray (D).
When enough books are on the tray
a photo-electric beam (E) is intercept­ed,
causing jack (F), which supports
tray to sink to floor. Dropping of the
tray sets off alarm clock (G), which
rings and calls watchman (H), who
comes and collects the books."
Okay, but we'd rather return ours
before the library closes and not worry
about the thing.
• * * *
Speculation among students has turn­ed
from "Wonder if we'll get in the
war," to "What'll happen to us when
the allies get licked." There can be no
doubt of the seriousness of the situa­tion,
especially when one considers the
new methods of making war and sees
that even the British and the French
themselves admit the danger. When
they will tell the world of their own
danger, then the situation is critical.
However, in 1914 the Allied cause look­ed
hopeless with Paris in imminent
danger of falling and the war apparent­ly
almost won. One must remember too
that Britain, seemingly the weak sister
of the democratic front, has always
been noted for muddling through and
losing every battle except the last one.
With the whole philosophy and meth­odology
of war changed, the British will
be doing well if they muddle through
this time, though.

Going back to Tuesday's dissertation,
one thing that we know should have
been mentioned and wasn't—guess the
space ran out — was that few people
realize that news is no good unless it's
published when it is news.
So it is that organizations do things
and keep them a deep, dark secret, of­ten
even refusing to let out enough de­tails
to make a news story. Then days,
maybe weeks later, when the darn stuff
is as dead as a cold herring and about
as interesting and as timely, they bring
the whole affair forth like they've dis­covered
a new element or a fourth di­mension
or something, and fuss when
the paper doesn't jump at the chance
to run it across the top of page one
with a 60 point streamer headline.
Any news, no matter if it hasn't even
fully developed or details haven't been
completed, should appear in the next
edition of the paper.

Plains Talk
By Herbert Martin
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.
NOW that it looks as if war has really
begun in Europe, it's time to look
around and see just how we stand at
present.
We h a v e b e en
claiming to be neu-
"tral, but the time for
that is past. Finland,
Norway, Holland, and
Belgium claimed to
be neutral, and look
at them now. Had
these last three coun­tries
assisted the Al­lies
from the begin­ning
the war history
might have taken a
different turn.
We have heard several observers say
that if Germany is completely victori­ous
in this war, the United States will
have to face the Nazi might alone,
sooner or later. This seems entirely
logical to us, as we certainly cannot
permit Germany to take over British,
French, and Dutch colonies in this hem­isphere.
* * *
Rapid action on our part now might
conceivably prevent the necessity for
an active war with Germany. If we re­peal
the neutrality laws and go on the
record as definitely anti-Nazi, allowing
the Allies unlimited credit on war goods,
and speeding up production of war-planes
and other war necessities, we
may avert the danger of participating
in actual combat. Conceding the prob­ability
that these war loans may never
be repaid, the possible saving of mil­lions
of American lives makes the risk
well worth taking.
* * *
In the meanwhile, we must realize
that we are almost as unprepared for
war as we were at the beginning of the
first World War. It seems that we
should not begrudge the price of put­ting
our army, navy, and air force in
adequate shape for any eventuality.
* * *
Another thing that we must not for­get
is that we're the lads who'll make
that little trip, receive those woolen
socks from home, and learn how to
hide behind a pebble when the shells
start flying, should we enter the war.
At present, the Allies don't need men,
but they are in desperate need of equip­ment.
* * *
Resolution concerning the above.
Neutrality is a wonderful thing, but
the shine wears off when you're faced
with destruction, all because you hated
to risk a few hard-earned shekels.
* * *
Back to our local war.
In connection with walking on wa­ter
. . . we may have exaggerated the
muddiness of the water in question
just a trifle, but if you believe that you
can walk on water, Chewacla Lake is
the place to try it. We'll wager that its
specific gravity is something above the
average.

If you've had time to read this far,
you ain't studying enough for them
Jerry Yelverton, ex-Knight, and now
featured clarinetist with Bobby Byrne's
new band, collided with a golf ball re­cently
and came out on the short end.
The band had stopped to watch a match,
and were gathered around enjoying the
game , when Yelvy slumped to the
ground. A medical examination showed
concussion, and Yelvy will be on the
shelf for approximately two weeks.

Rain, although good for crops and
growing green things, is not considered
especially beneficial for straw hats, new
permanent waves, or boxing gloves.

Cold cuts do not necessarily refer to
razor scraps in the Antarctic.
* * *
Germany seems to be riding the
crest now, but if you'll look back, you'll
see that the World War I began in much
the same way. This leads one to be­lieve
that something about the whole
business this time smells like limburger
again.
Wonder when "liberty cabbage" will
make its reappearance??
* * *
Vocabulary for today . . .
Stalin . . . Germany's pal until
trouble starts in Slovakia and Hungary.
May be likened to the rich man who
hired a chauffer, who suited his pur­pose
very well for some time. When
the chauffer started buying the gas
and Mfeeping the auto at home, the em­ployer
fired him. Hitler . . . Synony­mous
with weasel, civet cat, or rodent.
Mussolini . . . II Duce, which may be
translated, we believe, "He Dupes".
Similar to the mugwump, a bird which
sits with his mug on one side of the
fence and his wump on the other.

So You Think Daylight Saving
Time Is Tough? Then Read This
- By PAUL WEISZ
MAN plays with time — when it does
not suit his purpose he changes it.
Now we have daylight saving time al­though
the earth still rotates around
our sun as ever before.
We are cheating ourselves by one
hour with respect to our old time, but,
I think, our stomach, for instance,
hardly notices that the food reaches it
an hour earlier than usual, and the
nerves are hardly aware that they are
put to rest about 60 minutes ahead of
the usual time.
However, if we would move the
hands of our clocks six hours, for ex­ample,
what would happen? I can tell
you that, at least partly. When I ar­rived
in New York, all clocks were lag­ging
six hours behind the time that con­trolled
life in Europe when I left.
In one of New York's smaller ho­tels,
I wake up at 7:00 a.m. pe'rsonal-stomach-
time (PST), feeling an ardent
hunger for my breakfast, but my eyes
tell me that it is still completely dark,
and a glance at my watch gives me the
information "1:00 a.m.," which does
not satisfy my stomach, however, and
so I turn from one side to the other,
once, twice . . . and finally rotate a-round
my own axis and manage to go
asleep out of dizziness, maybe.
In the evening of the following day,
a friend invites me to go out and have
some fun. I am just about to open my
mouth for an "O.K." when the same
opens more and more . . . to a distinct
and desperate yawn, and I cannot help
remarking that I am very sleepy. "But
it is still in the evening " my friend
says. "Yes," I reply, "but I haven't
been able to convince all my brain cen­ters
of this fact, yet".
So, part of my anatomic set-up was
living according to Eastern Standard,
but the rest worked according to Cen­tral
European Time. Yes, even things
like that are possible.
For centuries, perhaps, the German
language had an expression which
meant the same as the exclamation
"Impossible!" This expression, trans­lated
into English, is "Now, it strikes
13!"
One day several years ago, men de­cided
to play with time, and the 24-
hour-system was introduced in several
central European countries, in order to
get rid of the otherwise necessary dis­tinction
"in the morning," "in the af­ternoon,"
and so on, or "a.m." and ".p.
m."
At first adopted in commercial life
only, the system has been penetrating
more and more into everyday life, and
today you may hear a student telling
a coed that he will get her at the dorm
at 20 o'clock.
Consequently some watchmakers built
clocks which would strike all 24 hours.
As some people were by far too lazy
to count so many strikes, or for some
other reasons, these industrious clocks
did not become popular at all; but still,
linguists had to strike out the expres­sion
"Now, it strikes 13" from the vo­cabulary,
because when men play with
time, impossible things become possi­ble.
Survey Shows That 83% of Students
Favor Government Medical Aid
A GREAT majority of American col­lege
students, 83 per cent, is of the
opinion that the government should pro­vide
medical care for those people who
cannot afford it themselves.
That is what interviewers for the
Student Opinion Surveys of America
from one end of the country to the
other discovered in this week's scien­tific
poll of college attitudes.
The survey points to a uniformity of
opinion in every section of the coun­try,
but there is a slight difference be­tween
two classes of students, work­ing
and non-working. Those who earn
all or part of their college expenses,
and who therefore belong in a lower-income
group, are more inclined to be­lieve
that medical insurance is a func­tion
of government. The following tab­ulations
reveal this difference on the
question asked:
Do you believe the government should
be responsible for providing medical
care for people who are unable to pay
for it?
Working Non-
All Students working
Yes 83% 83% 81%
No 13 11 15
No opinion 4 4 4
Frowned upon by the American Medi­cal
Association, the idea has often come
up, especially since the New Deal and
its relief and social security agencies
have come into existence.
Among the general public the feel­ing
has been almost identical as among
students, for the American Institute of
Public Opinion, even as far back as
June, 1938, found 81 per cent answer­ing
yes to the same question above.
New Language Learning
Method Devised by
Instructor of German
REPORTING a proved method for learn­ing
to read advanced German with
less than 50 hours' instruction, C. V.
Pollard, University of Texas Germanic
Language instructor literally has
brought one of the most difficult of lan­guages
to translate to his students' fin­ger-
tips.
The result of four years' work, Pol­lard's
novel method has passed 92 out
of 94 students on language exams that
ordinarily require three years' schooling,
he claimed here today. Instruction times
varied from 11 to 51 hours, averaging 25.
His system, employing the use of the
fingers to guide the reader through the
peculiar word order and long, complicat­ed
sentence structure of the German lan­guage,
has been copyrighted. He will
publish a book on it this summer, he said.
Pollard's system requires the learning
of nine verbs and a few rules in lieu of
extensive study of German grammar
texts. In place of a haze of "do's and
dont's," Pollard has substituted the fin­ger
movement. The left finger is used as
a guide and locates the key words, en­abling
the right thumb to move along
the sentence, as the reader follows
through. Breaks in the sentence, made
by punctuation and the fact that all
German nouns are capitalized, are clues
used.—(ACP).

NEW REGISTERING
SYSTEM PROPOSED
BY FORUM GROUP
Sweeping Changes A r e
A s k e d for b y Committee
On R e g i s t r a t i on
A new system of registration
has been proposed for API by the
Faculty Forum Committee on Reg­istration,
to take the place of the
present complicated and cumber­some
set-up. The recommendation
was made in a detailed report pre­sented
to the Forum at its meet­ing
on April 30.
Under the recommendation of
"Use of Classroom Space" the
Committee asked for the centrali­zation
of assignment of class­rooms
in one office and the sched­uling
of more Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday classes.
Under "Schedules and Section­ing"
the Committee proposed that
fractional credit hours be elimin­ated
and that two hours of lab
equal one credit hour, instead of
three equalling one as at present.
Also a reduction in the number of
courses and required credit hours
was recommended. Elimination of
courses causing duplication of
purposes was also suggested.
A few slight changes in fees
and the purchase of a large a-mount
of registration machinery
was proposed as one of the major
means for simplifying the proced­ure.
Sweeping changes in the actual
procedure of registering itself was
suggested by the Committee, en­abling
much greater speed in both
registering and in grade report­ing.
The Committee, which has been
at work on its findings and re­port
for several months, has as its
chairman Registrar Charles W.
Edwards.
FILLMER IS NEW
ASIE PRESIDENT,
SUCCEEDS GUEST
At a recent meeting of the Au­burn

Other officers elected at the
same meeting are Jimmy Fitz-patrick,
vice-president; Sherrill
Embry, secretary; Bill Greene,
treasurer; and Bill Guest, publici­ty
director.
After the election of officers
plans were discussed for accept­ing
the offer to join the National
Society for the Advancement, an
organization of industrial engi­neers.
Sherrill Embry and Bill Guest
were reelected as delegates to the
Student Engineers Council.

Although this is the first year
for this organization on the camp­us,
it has met with marked suc­cess
in bringing the churches of
Auburn closer together and in
making the student body more
church-conscious. It sponsored a
student forum during Religious

TIGER TALES
SEC MEET FORM CHART
By BOOTS STRATFORD
This week-end's Conference carnival in Birmingham
marks the last performance of three of the greatest com­petitors
ever to don a spike under the Orange and Blue.
Captain "Chuck" Morgan, one of these
men, is a great all-round athlete. He played
end on the Bessemer High football team
before he came to Auburn and now is an
expert at many track and field events. Be­sides
his specialties, the high and low hurd­les
and the high jump, he is an able broad-jumper,
an excellent dash man and per­forms
well in the shot, discus and javelin
thrust.
_ However, he usually confines his activi-
8ooTSSwrK*LD t i e g tQ h u r d l i n g a n d h i g h jumping, winning
the conference crown in the high jump in 1938 and breez­ing
away to top honors in the 120-yd. flight of high sticks
in 1939. He also placed third in the low hurdles last year.
Physically, Morgan is a fine specimen, possessing the
rangy and powerful build and blinding speed which are so
necessary to a top-flight hurdler. The grey-eyed, curly-locked
"Chucker" is extremely nervous, however, and suf­fers
acutely before each meet, all of which is extremely
unnecessary, for the times he has been beaten in dual and
conference competition amount to not many.
* * *
Alternate-Captain Bob Dickinson is the second of
these men. "Bobby Dick" unlike Chuck, possesses a
phlegmatic and confident temperament unusual to
sprinters, never breaking before the starter's gun as
so many of the short-distance men do. He is constantly
predicting success for himself, and this is not just
"cockiness," for h e sincerely believes in himself and is
usually right, for he is always consistent and usually
spectacular. Track coach Griffin of Georgia Tech calls
h im the "old war horse."
Bobby is trim and well-muscled, looking like the
human edition of a little race horse and has an amaz­ing
spring in his legs, which is very valuable in his
starts and in the broad jump.
Winner of the Conference broad - jump laurel
wreath in 1938, only to have Billy Brown of LSU rele­gate
him t o second place last year, "Bobby Dick" is on
the comeback trail with a vengeance, having bettered
2 4 in the Florida dual meet, and will afford the Old
Lou "kangaroo" a valiant competitor. His blistering
times in the 100 and 2 2 0 make him a leading contender
in the dashes for the Birmingham meet. But win or
lose, Bob will be in there with the "college try" for
he has a "never say die" spirit and is a great compet­itor.
* * *
Giant "Chet" Bulger completes the group. This "dam-yankee,"
friendly as a monstrous St. Bernard dog, besides
his weight event duties in track, plays a really fine tackle
on the football team. He would be a great tackle if his
temperament weren't so amiable but he still has another
year of football playing ahead of him.
"Chet" is happy-go-lucky and is usually unworried
about his events, but always comes through with plenty of
points, most of the time coming through with 15 points a
meet. He is an excellent discus whirler and javelin thruster
but stars in the shot put, many times hurling the heavy
ball beyond 48' in competition. Bulger earned 10 points
in the conference meet last year, a man-size job for any­body.
Theta Upsilon
Initiates Three
Iota Alpha chapter of Theta
Upsilon held a special initiation
on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock
in the Club Room at which time
the Covenant Degree was given
for Lucile Paulk, Opp; Sybil
Richardson, Auburn; and Mildred
Brown Davis, Pike Road.
Alice Little, newly installed
president, had charge of the ser­vice
and was assisted by Jewel
Davis, faculty adviser, Carleton
Farish, Jeanne Mayberry, and
Mary Elizabeth Pritchett. Those
serving as sponsors were Mary
Guy Inzer, Mary Elizabeth Purvis,
and Eleanor Home. Immediately
after the initiation an informal
supper party was given in honor
of the members.

Andrews Has Best
Pitching Record
Kilpatrick Tosses Most
Games, Has .778 Mark
With a pitching percentage of
.800, Bill "Slick" Andrews paced
Auburn pitchers during this sea­son,
in spite of a case of mumps
which kept him out of competi­tion
for some time. The smooth-throwing
Andrews won 4 out of
5 starts, 2 of them over SEC com­petition.
In second position was Charlie
Kilpatrick, who bore the brunt of
the pitching burden during the
season, winning 7 out of 9. Three
of his wins and one of his losses
were against SEC teams.
Ben Day won 2 over non-confer­ence
foes, but dropped his lone
loss to a league squad to finish
with a .667 percentage.
Tommie Mastin, who has show­ed
up remarkably well as a sopho­more,
having faced some tough
opposition numerous times. He
won 3 and lost 2 for a .600 rec­ord.
However, both of his losses
were to SEC opposition.
Louis "Lefty" Diamond ran
into a streak of bad luck and
in spite of some fine hurling, both
starting and relief, was credited
with two losses, one conference,
one-non-conference.
E. P. King, BS 1939, has join­ed
forces with B. R. McBride in
the latter's Troy Store. McBride
graduated with the PhG degree in
1917.
100-YARD DASH—Conference record,
9.6 sec:, by Pen-in Walker, Georgia Tech,
and Herman Neugass, Tulane.—Will be a
terrifically close race, with no pre-meet
standout. Kearney, of Florida, is champ­ion
and a smoothie who glides with ef­fortless
ease. Best time, 9.9. Bob Dickin­son,
of Auburn, getting hot after several
losses by a nose. Maurice France, of Miss­issippi
State, the season's sensation.
Couldn't qualify last year; hasn't been
beaten this year. Ran a dead heat with
Kearney in late April. Billy Brown, of
LSU, second in '89, is better in the 220.
Vassa Cate, of Georgia, champ in '38, in
9.8; third in '89. (Too much football.)
Beaten by Kearney and Dickinson this
year; sometimes down but never out.
Willis Tucker, of .Tennessee, a soph sen­sation
credited with a 9.7, but beaten by
France last Saturday. Oliver Hunnicutt,
of Georgia. The old man may have a
kick left.
220-YARD DASH—Conference record,
20.9 sec, by Herman Neugass, Tu­lane.—
Kearney will be pressed harder
than last year when he won in 21.9.
Lanky Billy Brown, of LSU, who was
only fourth in '39, has done a 21.8,
France, a 21.6 and a 21.8; Dickinson, a
21.5 around Tech's curve last Saturday.
Halliburton Ware, of LSU, champion in
'38 and fourth last year, is still to be
reckoned with. Pair, Beals and Mamma,
of Tech, and Hunnicutt have outside
chances, with Tucker.
440-YARD DASH—Conference record,
46.8 sec, by Glenn Hardin, LSU—With
Belcher and Bill Thompson out, the field
is relatively poor. Gresham, of Mississip­pi
State, has done a 49.8, only to be
beaten by Truitt Bullosk, of Alabama, in
49.5. Bradley, «f Florida, is a BO-second
runner; Arky Erwin, of LSU, seems the
standout, with his 49-seebnd victory over
his teammates, Felix Jumonville and Dick
Burge.
880-YARD RUN—Conference record,
1.54, by David Rogan, of Kentucky.—
Frank Church, of LSU, Bhould retain his
laurel without much trouble. He won in
1:56.2, and has done the distance in
1:55.3 to beat the surprising Charlie
Vosburga, of Tulane, by only a few yards.
Frederiksen, after losing a bitterly con­tested
'mile, showed his recuperative
powers by doing the 880 in 1:58.1
against Tech. Artie Small, of the Jack­ets,
has run consistently around 2:00
and did 1:59.6 without distress against
Auburn's Holley last Saturday. Little
Bob James, of Alabama, has done a
1:59.3, though Small beat him severely
in early April. Bunzell, of LSU, is an un­certainty.
ONE-MILE RUN—Conference record,
4:16.3, by David Rogan, of Kentucky.—-
Georgia's Durable Dane, Frederiksen, will
defend his twice-won crown. There are
faster milers but he runs . smartly and
has what is called a kick—that is, a
strong finishing sprint. Small will renew
their rivalry, and may win again. George
McRae, of LSU, seems to be the other
who will contest with them. Buning, of
Florida, may be reserved for the 2-mile.
Staton, of Alabama, should show.
TWO-MILE RUN—Conference record,
9:36, by Robert Aldridge, of Georgia
Tech.—An open event, with Champion
Manley, of Tech, still below form from
flu. Bill Buning, of Florida, is a soph
who looks to be a comer and may arrive
at Birmingham. Day, of Mississippi State,
is a 10-minute man. A lot of pluggers,
several from LSU, will run in hope of
odd points.
HIGH HURDLES—Conference record,
14.1 sec, by Forrest Towns, of Georgia.
What a race, as the radio announcers
would shout. Cate will make a desperate
effort to win for his first time. As a
soph he lost to Waterer. of LSU. Last
year Morgan eased past him in the
stretch to win in slow time, 14.9. Then
Morgan beat him down at Auburn a few
weeks ago. Cate is a thirst for revenge.
No one else seems close, now that Tech's
Plaxico has pulled a muscle, though
Browning, of Florida, may surprise. Oh,
oh, there's Laguens and Thompson, of
LSU. They've done 14.8 and thereabouts.
Still we say Morgan and Cate will fight
it out.
LOW HURDLES—Conference record,
23.3 s e c , by Glenn Hardin, of LSU.—Cate
won last year in 28.8 and should win
again, unless tired by other events. Mor­gan
was third and Thompson fourth.
Tucker, of Tennessee, is not only a
sprinter but has done the lows in 24.8.
Look out for Browning, of Florida, and
Laguens, of LSU, to figure.
HIGH JUMP—Conference record, 6 ft.
5Va, by Kelly Horn, of Alabama.—A new
record seems probable with Horn having
cleared 6-7%, and LSU's famed soph,
J. C Devall, having done 6%. The next
best clearance has been Chuck Morgan's
6-3% at Grant Field Saturday. Francis
Myers, of Mississippi State, has done 6-5
in previous years but has been hurt. A!
Rayburn, of Florida, and Al Wooten, of
Georgia, may Bplit points with somebody.
Poyner Thweatt, of Vandy, did 6-6 once,
but has not repeated.
BROAD JUMP—Conference record, 25
ft. 6% in., by Ed Hamm, of Georgia
Tech.—The phenomenal Billy Brown, of
LSU, who won last year with 23-8, did
24-1 in the Drake Relays and is said to
be beating 25 feet in practice. Dickinson,
second in '39, did 24-4 against Florida.
Beals, «f Tech, did 24-2 against Vander-bile
and was thrice over 24.
POLE VAULT—Conference record, 13
ft. 6% in., by Wayne Downey, of Ala­bama.—
Eldon Wonacott, of LSU, hardly
can miss. He did 13-8 the other day and
Teammate Don Siple did 13. Bill McClel­land,
of Mississippi State, has cleared
13.1. Carl Mitchell, of Florida, usually
beats 12-3, and Wooten, of Georgia, has
done 12-6, as has Hall, of Auburn.
SHOT PUT—Conference record, 53 ft.
6Vi in., by Jack Torrence, of LSU.—Un­beaten
for two years, Millard .White, of
Tulane, will defend his crown, though he
has not reached his 49-4% mark of last
year. His rivals will be John Smith, of
Florida; Chet Bulger and Jim Stephen­son,
of Auburn; Hal Johnson, of Ala­bama,
and Pete Golomb, of Tulane. Their
respective best throws have been: 49,
48-8, 48-11, 46-9, 45-7%. Ferguson, of
Florida, who has done 46-8%, has shown
sophomoric variability.
DISCUS THROW—Conference record,
154 ft. 1% in., by Millard White, of Tu­lane.—
White will easily protect a second
two-year title and may shatter his own
record. The rest of the field is poor.
Only Bulger and Smith seem capable of
beating 140, though a Tennessee soph
named Kinney did get in an exceptional
142-foot toss once. Johnson of Alabama
hits 135 consistently.
JAVELIN THRUST—Conference rec­ord,
203 ft. IOV2 in., by Graham Batche-lor,
of Georgia.—The champion of '38,
Bob Salisbury, of Georgia, should repeat
after a year's ineligibility and break
the seven-year record. He has done 212,
211, and other distances above 196 ft.
His only rival appears to be Vanderbilt's
Billy Young, who has surpassed 200 feet
several times but has been inconsistent.
Others are poor.
MILE RELAY—Conference record, 3
min. 16.5 sec, by LSU.—The Tigers
again, almost in a walk, unless they want
to set a new record. No other team can
come within 50 yards of a quartet chosen
from Church, Erwin, Jumonville, Bruge
and Workman.

-pairs dropped their first-round
games. Lide and McKee were
downed by Billy Umstaedter and
Bernard Jacoby of Louisiana

6-2, 6-3. Bobbitt and Johnson of

• Maybe you don't think this change is important,
but this spring it's going to happen to more clothes
than in a decade. That's why the measurements you
make on a dress when it comes into your plant won't
help very much.
• What you ought to know is the customer's own
measurements—the measure of waist, bust, hip, wrist;
length of skirt and sleeve.
• "Don't trust to luck when you have that new dress
cleaned this year. We want to keep a special record
of your measurements as well as those of your dress.
We want to make your dress fit you as it did the day
you bought it—not the day it came to us to be cleaned.
Ask your routeman for a measurement card and fill
out with your own figure measurements and send it
along with the next dress or suit you send to us for
cleaning. We will take the measurements of the dress
itself and do our best to make them conform."
