Juniors, Are You Listed? THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN Looks Though Spring Were Here! VOL. LXin z-i ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, MARCH 1, 1940 No. 44 Staff Photo by Lewis Arnold. Candidates for publications positions as they waited to be interviewed by the Publications Board. Left to right: Warren Darty, unopposed for business manager of Plainsman; Ed Welden, candidate for business manager of Glomerata; Dan Hollis, candidate for editor of Plainsman; Trigger McGehee, candidate for editor of Glomerata; "Boots" Stratford, candidate for editor of Plainsman; Ed Paul, candidate for editor of Glomerata; and Kirk Newell, candidate for business manager of Glomerata. Publications Board Interviews Candidates Decision of Board Will be Made Public Monday Afternoon A searching spotlight was trained on aspirants for publications positions when the Publications Board interviewed candidates at a meeting here Tuesday afternoon. Appearing for individual interviews before the Board, the seven office-seekers were thoroughly quizzed on their qualifications and intentions in the event of election. Actual qualifying of candidates was deferred, however, until a meeting of the Publications Board on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. Included in the group who supported their applications to the Board were Warren Darty, unopposed candidate for business manager of the Plainsman; Ed Paul and Bill "Trigger" McGehee, both running for editor of the Glomerata; Boots Stratford and Dan Hollis, seekers of the editorship of the Plainsman; Ed Weld-en and Kirk Newell, opponents for the post of business manager of the Glomerata. Final judgment on the qualifications will be made public Monday afternoon. Appointed to the sub-committee to pass on the business managers were W. T. Ingram, Prof. J. E. Roop, Hankins Parker, Robert Armstrong, Ed McCowan. On the sub-committee to study applications of editors are Prof. J. R. Rutland, Kirtley Brown, Betty Showalter, Charles Kelley, John Godbold, Rollins Aldridge. Auburn Operetta To Be Staged Early Next Month With an artistic stage set completed and set up in Langdon Hall and a cast of 65 reporting for rehearsals, the operetta "Chimes of Normandy" is rapidly taking form. The operetta, directed jointly by Prof. Telfair Peet and Mr. Lawrence Barnett, is to be given early next month. The cast for the production includes eight characters with speaking or singing roles, a chorus composed of the entire personnel of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, and a number of dancers. Characters in the operetta include Fred Mohns as Henri, Count de Corneville; Lem Edmondson as Grenicheux, a sailor; Bob Haas as Gaspard, a miser; James Burt as Bailli, the Village Governor; Jean Byrd and Martha Daily as Germaine and Serpolette, wards of Gaspard; and Claudia Weinmann and Mary Frances Meadows as Gertrude and Manette, girls of the village. "The Chimes of Normandy", by Robert Jean Planquette, was first produced at the Folies Dramatique in Paris on April 19, 1897. Miss Margaret Bracey, Gadsden, Alabama, will lead the Theta Chi dance tonight with C. W. Thompson, Jr., Piedmont, Alabama. March 7 Is Set For HighSchoolTourney Over 500 high school boys and girls from all sections of Alabama are expected to come to Auburn March 7, 8, and 9 to participate in the 21 contests of the annual State High School Tournament here.

High spot of the competition is expected to be the dramatics tournament of one-act plays, won last year by Murphy High School of Mobile. This tournament is conducted by means of two elimination brackets, one for small schools, the other for large, the winner being chosen at the conclusion of a final bracket composed of the small schools champion and the two semi-finalists in the large schools division. The Auburn Players will assist in staging the plays. Other contests in the tournament will include aeronautics, art, biology, books, chemistry, drama, foreign languages, history, industrial arts, journalism, Latin, mathematics, mechanical drawing, music, physics, public speaking, science, spelling, typewriting, and creative writing.

RALPH PEARSON LECTURESTONIGHT ON 'MODERN ART' Talk Slated for 8:15; Lecturer Has Had Wide Experience in Many Fields Expert information on modern art is in store for Auburn students and townspeople who attend the lecture here this evening by Ralph M. Pearson in Langdon Hall at eight, the semi-final feature of the current Auburn Concert and Lecture series. The subject of Mr. Pearson's illustrated lecture will be "Development of Modern Art." Mr. Pearson originated the experiment in adult art education known as the Design Workshop at the New School for Social Research which he still directs. He has written many magazine articles and two well-known books on art, "Portfolio of Etched Bookplates" and "Fifty Prints of the Year 1925." Besides his artistic endeavors, Mr. Pearson has had a life full of adventure. Once he built a 35 foot cabin cruiser and took a round trip from Chicago down the Mississippi, through the Gulf of Mexico, around the coast to New York, and through the Erie Canal and Great Lakes back to Chicago. Pearson also spent several years once in the pioneer development of aviation, principally the building of safe aeroplane motors and tractor biplanes. Arrangements For Military Ball Are Well Underway Annual Event Will Be Held at Graves Center, March 15 Arrangements are well under way for the 1940 Military Ball, to take place in Graves Center, March 15, according to John Rice, Captain of Scabbard and Blade. The Auburn Knights will play for the affair. Plans for the Military Ball, an annual event sponsored by the ROTC corps, are being carried out under direction of the Auburn chapter of Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society. Bids are to be sent all ROTC seniors, and juniors will be admitted to the dance by signing away 50c of their uniform allowance at the door. Juniors will not be permitted to bring dates. All regular Army officers stationed at Auburn are to be invited, along with President L. N. D u n c a n , Executive Secretary Ralph Draughon, and other college officials. Reserve officers in this district will also be sent bids. Preceding the dance at Graves Center there is to be a Scabbard and Blade banquet at 6:30 in the banquet hall of the Baptist Church, at which each Blade man will present his date with a small saber as a favor. Dancing is scheduled to begin at 9:30. Program for the night will include a grand march, Scabbard and Blade, Field Artillery, and Engineer leadouts, and three no-breaks. All Qualified Junior Voters Are Listed Any Corrections or Additions Must Be Published Within the Week Notice An agent of the State Department of Revenue will be in Auburn Tuesday, March 5, to assist members of the f a c u l t y or others who wish aid in making out their Income Tax returns to the State. Huntingdon Glee Club Will Present Concert Wednesday Will Take Place at 8 : 1 5 in Langdon; 'Martha' to be Sung The Huntingdon College Glee Club, of which Miss Edna Earle Eagerton is president, will arrive in Auburn Wednesday, March 6, for a concert at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon Hall. One of the features of the program will be the club's presentation of the first act of the opera, "Martha". Miss Arline Hanke, junior from Montgomery, will appear in the title role. In addition to a wide selection of classical and semi-classical numbers, the singers will also present "The Green Window", an original composition by the late Prof. Olaf Jensen of the organ department. "The Green Window" is a musical setting given a poem by Miss Sarah Jane Westerbeke, Huntingdon. The poem was inspired by the large green window in the Huntingdon chapel. Queen of Commerce Ball Is Chosen Identity Is Kept Secret; Will be Crowned at Dance The Queen of the Commerce Ball was elected last Monday morning by a vote of all Business Administration students and will be crowned during the grand march at the Ball which will be held Friday night, March 8. The queen's identity will remain secret until she is crowned but she was selected from the following seven coed business students. They are Maude Mullen, senior; Helen Jordan, junior, Chi Omega; Bettie Belle Brandt, junior, Kappa Delta; Doris Greene, junior, Alpha Gamma Delta; Lucille Wal-den, sophomore, Phi Omega Pi; Laura Smith, sophomore; and Col-ley Thompson, sophomore. Rufus Porter, president of Delta Sigma Pi, which organization is sponsoring the dance, will escort the queen during the grand march. All business administration students will be admitted on presentation of their student ticket book and, in addition, bids have been sent to the president and one other member of each honorary organization on the campus, and to the faculty members of the business school. Also each member of Delta Sigma Pi will have a certain number of bids to distribute. The Auburn Knights will furnish the music for the ball, dancing beginning at 9 and lasting 'till 1 o'clock. During the dance there will be a Delta Sigma Pi no-break, a senior business student no-break, and one other no-break in addition to the grand march. MAURICE HINDUS TO SPEAK HERE TOMORROWNIGHT 'What Next in Europe?' Will be His Subject; Last on Lecture Series Maurice Hindus, distinguished journalist and lecturer, will speak in Langdon Hall Saturday night as the final feature of the 1940 Concert Series. His subject, as announced by the Lecture Series Committee, is "What Next in Europe?" Hindus will come here as an added attraction to the regular schedule of concerts and lectures, and season tickets will not be good for the performance. Tickets, now on sale at prices of twenty-five cents for students and fifty cents for faculty members and townspeople, may be purchased from International Relations Club members or' from the News Bureau on the first floor of Samford Hall. The lecturer will be expected to discuss both the Russo-Finnish and the Anglo-French-German conflicts. He is familiar with the set-up in Europe through many journalistic missions there, and is as competent as any man in the lecturing field to predict coming events in the struggles now in progress on that continent. During Hitler's triumph over Poland last fall, Hindus was in Warsaw, and will be expected in the course of his lecture to speak of his experiences during that crisis. A number of Hindus' books may be found in the API library, including "Green Worlds", "We Shall Live Again," and "Red Bread." GILBERT, DUKE Ph.D., TALKS HERE MONDAY Four Lectures Will Be Given; Admission Is Free to All The first lecture in a series of four will be given Monday at 4:00 p.m. in Langdon Hall by Dr. Katharine Gilbert, doctor of philosophy at Duke Duke University and widely known lecturer and writer.

Page Two THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN March 1, 1940 The Auburn Plainsman Published Semi-Weekly by the Students of The Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala. Editorial and business offices on Tiche-nor Avenue. Phone 448. Editor may be reached after office hours by calling 169-W. John Godbold Editor Robert H. Armstrong — Business Mgr. Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by mail: $2.50 per year, $1.50 per semester. Member Associated Gofle6iate Press Distributor of Golle6iateDi6est Acting: editor for this issue of the Plainsman is Boots Stratford, sports editor, who is a candidate for editorship of the Plainsman in the spring elections. Dress Up The Band THE Auburn band, as it plays for military parades and reviews and thrills spectators at football games with its stirring music, has done much for and is certainly a credit to Auburn; and we hereby put in a plea that this fine unit be furnished uniforms more in accordance with the status of the school it represents and the wonderful music that it plays. The band already has ear appeal to spectators, and snappier uniforms along with the loosening of such regulations that prevent all but the simplest maneuvers and formations would give it eye appeal as well. We want no flamboyant uniforms such as many college bands wear which reek so of the circus, but rather an attractive yet dignified outfit which would embody the now almost traditional orange and blue cape. The cape; a dark blue coat of military cut with orange shoulder straps, lapel facings and cuffs and a bit of gold braid and white Sam Erowne belts for the officers; and trousers of a lighter blue with orange stripes down the seam would be one of many striking combinations possible. The school is dressing up-; why not dress the band up! B.S. Why Not An Outdoor Pool? AS facilities for the use of Auburn varsity athletes increase, the need of the many Auburn athletes that indulge in sports merely for the recreation afforded is more clearly seen. For the benefit of these athletes, some several new tennis courts are abuilding and will be ready for use this spring. But another sadly lacking recreational facility that would hold an even more universal appeal to students is an outdoor swimming pool. There is no apparent reason why the school and the town of Auburn shouldn't get together and build a pool and charge a small admission until it is paid for or, failing that, why shouldn't some smart business man about town build such a pool? As things stand now, students have to go all the w a y to Wright's Mill or Opelika to enjoy a swim: a pool h e r e, with a dance pavilion, open from the first of May through both summer school sessions 'till the end of September, would certainly bring in enough revenue from students and townspeople alike to make the plan feasible. And, more than that, it would be an attractive asset to both the school and the town of Auburn. B.S. Keep On Following Huey THE LATE lamented patron saint of Louisiana State University, Huey Long, had a great many bizarre ideas about education and a great many more which weren't so bizarre. Certainly no college ever increased its stature, or had it increased, more quickly than Huey's beloved LSU. Among the Kingf ish's minor but still practical ideas about how to run a college was his belief that the walks on a campus should be laid according to the specifications of the students who used them. Instead of arbitrarily laying walks with the help of geometry and without particular reference to convenience, the Kingfish laid his walks along the paths made by the students of LSU in finding the shortest distance between two points. Auburn, although never the protege of a Kingfish, has followed this plan of letting the students define the walks. Paths cobweb our campus from Samford Hall around by Ag Hill to Vet Hill. The only defect in Auburn's system of walks is that the walks are narrow paths in dry weather and rivulets in wet weather. We wish Auburn would keep on following Huey, at least as far as getting our w a l k s streamlined and waterproofed. R.S. Wake Up, Freshmen IT'S too bad that many freshmen find their English course the least inspiring of their classes. They complain that grammar is silly, reading boring books is a waste of time, and the exactness of form required by the professor is tyrannical. Never Completely Learned Of all the subjects studied, one's native tongue is the study that is most used. It is a subject that can never be completely . learned. It can never be exhausted. That one should complain because one is forced to still attempt learning grammar in college is strange. The other day a coed said that she had decided that the classics are "as boring as everyone says they are." But unless one has a solid foundation (a hackneyed phrase but an apt one) in the classics one fails to appreciate the books of today that may be the classics of tomorrow. For without the possession of the heritage that knowledge of the classic gives, one misses the joy of recognitions and allusions in more modern books. Theme Paper Tyranny The tyranny of the professor who is particular as to the form of a theme paper is not so much tyranny as it is a lesson in good manners. There is a correct way to treat even a professor. Drilling in good form will serve to form automatic good habits in writing. All of this has been said before. Everything that an English professor tells his freshmen has been taught them before. But as long as they listen with deaf ears and read with blind eyes they have no right to complain that the professor is not making his material interesting; they are not giving him a chance to be. Sometimes a professor may say something worth listening to. Southern Pines Make Paper THE dream of Dr. Charles Her-ty, noted Georgia chemist, who spent the last eight years of his life perfecting the process that makes it possible to evolve newsprint on a commercial scale from southern timber, has become a reality and is destined to grow. The Lufkin Daily News, of Lufkin, Texas, recently became the first newspaper to be printed for regular run on southern pine stock. The paper used was made in a new $6,000,000 newsprint plant outside Lufkin. The enormous potential revenue from the newsprint market is obvious and the tall pines that whisper in Southern forests may be expected to play an important part in the South's future welfare. B.S.

STONE, NOW A SUPREME COURT OUSTICE/ e The Plainsman Forum Letters to the Editor Wherein a Plainsman Writer Is Called Down Re: "A Disease is Not a Disgrace" Editor, Auburn Plainsman, Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir: In regard to the editorial "A Disease is Not a Disgrace" — the gentleman submitting the article advises that the disease in the primary stage "may cause a rash similar to pox or measles." This is definitely misleading since the primary stage is evidenced by the "initial sclerosis" or chancre, which appears about twenty-one days after the infection. In about six weeks after the beginning of the primary lesion, more or less generalized cutaneous manifestations appear. The last mentioned interval, usually described as the second incubation period, may extend over a period of from four to twelve weeks. An alumnus, Chas. D. Verstandig, MD Houston, Texas. On the Ride Catching Situation Dear Ed.: When after a few hours of plaintive calling, a student (dressed in uniform or cap) finally persuades a kindly motorist to stop; the question that is almost always asked before he gets to the car window is, "Do you go to school at Auburn?" Nine out of ten of the hitchhikers can truthfully say yes, but the tenth one cannot. By some scheme this tenth one has begged, borrowed or stolen a uniform or cap and is using it to catch rides with. Of course a few will say "If they can get away with it, then let them do it." But those are the few that own automobiles, and for every one of these fortunates there are a couple of hundred others who depend on the friendly motorists for their rides. When Auburn students find it more and more difficult to catch rides, then they will realize what they have done. So let's try to keep this only method of identification among ourselves if we expect motorists to treat us kindly in the future. Yours very truly, A student. Well? By Dan W. Mollis 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. OVER THERE— "Old Man Weather" has come to the aid of the Finns again just as the Reds were about to batter their way through the Mannerheim line near Viipuri . . . cold blizzards swept over the battlefield bogging down the heavy Russian war machinery. Both sides continued to claim smashing victories. Nazi-British sea warfare flared a-new during the week with censored reports from each side claiming victories for the home boys. Sumner Welles, Assistant Secretary of State, landed in Rome to confer with Count Ciano, Mussolini's right hand man. Myron C. Taylor, F.D.R.'s personal representative to Pope Pius also went along on this diplomatic mission. OVER HERE— F.D.R.'s "fishing cruise" to the Canal Zone got him away from the big question that both the Elephants and the Donkeys would like so very much to know—"will he run for a third term?" . . . Up in Birmingham, Cooper Green, "the people's choice" swept into the office as President of the City Commission of that city by a landslide vote over his "mud-slinging" opponent. The first preferential presidential primary held over in Donaldsonville, Ga., showed a decided majority favor F.D.R. for third term . . . meanwhile other preferential primaries were approaching at various points in the nation. Opinion polls continued to show an increasing trend of opinion favoring a third term. HERE AT THE PLAINS— The Varsity Debate Team left on a tour through Mississippi and Tennessee last Monday, meeting as many as two colleges a day in arguments over current questions. . . . The Glomerata has decided to run an extra page in their annual scrap book, making a total of 401 pages this year. The extra page will concern the open warfare recently declared by the opposing publication f o r c e s — THE PLAINSMAN and the glomerata. In an unquotable statement yesterday afternoon, Stooge Kelley made it plain that the extra added page, which incidentally will be tinted red, being the color for "blood", would certainly do the semi-weekly publication "no good". Chief Grafter Hank Parker could not be reached for a statement when the paper went to press today, but it was confidentally reported that the back of the extra page would be "done up in yellow advertisement". But enough of that. The Executive Council will make a report next week on the proposed anti-cheating campaign. It is hoped that some line of action may be adopted to remedy this situation. The point the majority of students need to understand, however, is that no one is proposing an "Honor System", it is simply a campaign to do away with cheating. Meanwhile the Executive Cabinet makes plans for making further revisions to the student government constitution. . . . Other plans include a new name for the Cabinet. . . . We think that the name Student Senate would be appropriate. Another new proposal of a member of the Cabinet is to organize the presidents of all organizations on the campus into a form of "advisory legislature", to make suggestions on work for the Cabinet, and to help educate their various organizations on new acts and programs of the Cabinet. This year this group of orgization presidents have been greatly helpful in handling such problems as Religious Emphasis Week and the Anti-Cheating Campaign. We believe that a more compact body of this sort would be of great help toward better student government. 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 WUZ secretely wedded to Karrie last night in a nearby town. Since we have been keeping company for almost a year now, and because it is Leap Year, Karrie popped t he question while we were still in the "I like you better than any girl I ever knew" stage. Karrie said t he neighbors were talking, and that if we were honorable in our intentions, now was the time to show it. The responsibility of married life has made us lose our usual carefree attitude, and we are now a perfect example of domestic tranquility. * * * Changing rules so much, we feel like Mobile used to. Working under three editors in less than two weeks is some sort of a record, not to mention being quite confusing. Stratford's entry into the editorial race opposing Hollis has provided opposition in one race usually characterized by only one contestant, and Pruitt's announcement closed the gap of unopposed candidates by giving Jim King a rival. * * * Tuesday's Plainsman stated that from over 300 Wassermans given, not one negative specimen of blood had been found. And we thought that Mr. and Mrs. Alabama sent their boys and girls to Auburn to get an education! * * * Gleaned from the files . . . We are the peasants; The peasants are we.

Your cold should be over in two weeks. On the other hand, stay up late, sleep in wind, get feet wet, eat and drink as you please, get cold and hot alternately, and above all, be active.

Freshman Trounces Seniors In Ag Club "Quiz" Contest AN odd experiment conducted before the Ag Club last Wednesday night showed that freshmen seem to know more on practical questions relating to agriculture than seniors. In a "Professor Quiz" contest the freshman team decidedly whipped the senior contingent. The experiment was conducted on a program presented by the Sears Roebuck Scholarship Club and was prepared by Merlin Bryant, junior in agriculture. Townsend (Kay) Kyser acted as the "Old Professor." Four outstanding seniors, all officers of the Ag Club, and two of whom were recently selected by Gamma Sigma Delta, national honorary agricultural fraternity, were pitted against four freshmen who were simply picked at random from the audience. The seniors who competed in the contest were Fred Wellborn, president of the club; Ra-vonn Pettis, vice-president; Jack Cagle, secretary; and Fred Harlin, treasurer. Four practical questions relating to agriculture were asked each of the contestants in the first round. The contestants selected the questions from a hat, and then attempted to answer the question. At the end of the first round, Fred Wellborn and Ravonn Pettis were tied in score for the senior group. Freshman Tom Bullington was high scorer in the "rat" group. In the final round, Bullington scored 300 out of a possible 400 points. The two seniors scored only 184 points, on two questions each, out of the possible 400. The freshman, by himself, had soundly whipped the two seniors. And what do you think of that? It just goes to show that the longer you go to college the less you know. EDITOR'S NOTE: In Tuesday's front page "Wasserman" story, the obvious error— "—are well over three hundred. Of this number, not one negative specimen of blood has been discovered"—was made. For the sake of the record, the story should have read "not one positive specimen of blood has been discovered." There was a beautiful garden And there was a man within And there was a perfect woman And there was no thought of sin. And there were flowers and sunshine Sparkling on hill and plain But how could they know the sunshine Before they had known the rain? There they were blest and honored Above all the future race But what could they know of honor Before they had felt disgrace? How could they know they were happy Until they had drunk of woe How could he know she was perfect When everything else was so? Such life was but half of living And by all things above Until they had suffered together How could they know of love? Kisses Kill Cold Germs! THE theory of a prominent physician that kissing generates enough heat to kill germs and makes for better circulation of health last night was undergoing a severe test on the campus of the University of California. There has been an epidemic of colds and influenza at the university and the physician said it might be due to a laxity of student kissing, much to relief of the students who were alarmed at word that university officials were considering a two-month ban on kissing to halt the epidemic. The undergraduates' u n e x p e c t e d benefactor was Dr. Simon L. Katzoff, consulting physician with the San Francisco institute of human relations for 20 years. Must Be Real Kits "The University people have forgotten their chemistry," chided Katzoff. "Kissing generates enough heat to destroy the germs and it builds up resistance. A genuine kiss is like an electric current magnetized by the masculine and feminine polarities. "And I don't mean the kind between Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones at the Tuesday bridge club," he added stressing that the antiseptic virtue lay in the virility. Only thus, he said, was kissing self-purifying. "Besides, the modern girl uses enough lipstick and other paint to kill any germ," Katzoff continued. "There is no need for hauling around a jug of diluted carbolic acid to wash with after every kiss. "If there is an influenza epidemic at the university, I might suggest there has not been enough kissing lately. Come to think of it, they just got over their winter exams, and probably they have been too busy." "Married couples should kiss more," Katzoff added. "It makes for better circulation and better health, mentally and physically. March 1, 1940 THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN Page Three WORDS on MUSIC By JIMMY GILBERT Looks like the rising young rhythm tune this week is "Tuxedo Junction", brain child of Erskine Hawkins. Everywhere I go, I run into previews and favorable comments on this fine "jookin'" piece. One of the best renditions to date is by the local Knights, batoneered by Bobby Adair. They play an arrangement based on the stock orchestration by E. Hawkins, before mentioned as the proud papa of said killer-diller. When I say it's the up and coming song on the campus, kids, I really mean it. Other Knight previews bring to the fore none other than Robin (Humoresque) Russell's new latest arrangement. The title is "Starlit Hour", and Polly Hallman does the vocal. Polly accents the well known "pleading" tones in another of her latest — "Would'ja Mind?". Nice!! And the above brings me to my pet record this week. It's that Baker gal again—this time with "Pinch Me", and "Would'ja Mind?". (I know, you just got through reading about Polly singing it. Well, Bonnie pleads on it too.) Naturally, it's Orrin Tucker's orchestra on a Columbia record. Orrin also plays and vocalizes, on another disc, "Many Dreams Ago", and "Twilight Interlude". The latter can't be beat for creating that dreamy mood. Another Columbia platter. In the "beat it out" department, Wingy Manone does "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Sudan". The former reeks of Louie Armstrong — the latter is slightly tom-tomish. Both Good. (Bluebird). Oldie "Three Little Words" and newie "You're a Lucky Guy" are good and swingy. Gene Krupa and Kats on Columbia. Duke Ellington plays two of his own compositions, "Grievin" and "Tootin Through the Roof". Nothing extra. This is another Columbia disc, as is "I'd Love to Call You My Sweetheart" and "Drummin Man" by ex-Goodman-ite Krupa again. Hep to these, cats. They're good. "What Every Young Girl Should Know" is sweet in spite of the title. Harry Babbitt sings with Kay Kyser's Band. Sully Mason Jills up the other side with "Holy Smoke". Good. Columbia. Radioites, we're starting a new section this week. This paragraph, under the name of "Swinging Through the Week", will suggest a well known band to listen to each night of the week. This week —Monday: Glenn Miller at eleven. NBC—Tues.: Bob Crosby at 10:- 45. CBS—Weds.: Tommy Dorsey at 10:30. NBC — Thurs.: Larry Clinton at 11:15. WSB, Atlanta —Friday: Count Basie at 11:00, NBC. Success Story: The wandering minstrels known hereabouts as the Auburn Cavaliers are at present installed in the Claridge Hotel in Memphis. New baton swinger is none other than Col. Manny Prager—ex Ben Bernie boy. Nice going. Local note: The torrid, torchy, trumpet tooting Hatcher, popularly known as Chick, managed to survive both the measles and the infirmary this past week.

Auburn Roller Rink AC ENGINEERING CLUB BECOMES MEMBER OF ASAE The Agricultural Engineering Club which was formed locally last October has recently been accepted as a student branch of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Due to the efforts of several students in Agricultural Engineering, the local club was formed last fall and a constitution was drawn up and submitted to the national society. The club which meets every Tuesday night at 7:00 o'clock is often entertained by prominent agricultural men and movies. Plans are now underway for securing the new Westinghouse movie, which will probably be presented in the near future at a joint meeting of ASAE and the Ag Club. Officers for the first semester were: Prank Clayton, president; F. W. Weaver, vice-president; Carl Morgan, secretary; and Charles Rollo, treasurer.. Shortly after notice that the club had been accepted, new officers were elected. These are: Lawrence Ennis, president; Carl Morgan, vice-president; Tom Hereford, secretary; and James Green, treasurer. The club urges that all men taking Ag Engineering be present at the weekly meetings on Tuesday nights.

KAPPA SIGS HOLD INITIATION RITES Beta Eta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity held formal initiation last Sunday afternoon for the following pledges: Malcolm Hunter, Montgomery; Prude McGee, Carrollton; George Chipman, Atlanta; Bobby Goodin, Jackson, Tenn.; J. B. Wilson, Auburn; John Main, Union Springs; Locke Redd, Ozark; F. H. Mohns, Birmingham; Gene Wellons, Macon, Ga. Jamie Spencer of Jackson, Tenn., is- also a recent initiate. Following the initiatiory ceremonies, which were conducted by V. V. Mitchell assisted by Dick Hall, Charles Harris, and Charlie Kilpatrick, a banquet was held in the chapter house. Kappa Sigma also announces the following new pledges: Fred Arnold, Abbeville; Bill Bailey, Birmingham; Dick Koran, Evanston, 111.; J. B. Jardine, Douglas, Ga.; Gordon Main, Union Springs; Dick Hinkle, Birmingham. Mr. M. B. McDonald, of Birmingham. Although harassed the past two weeks by inclement weather, track practice picked up this week with the arrival of the sun and Coach Wilbur Hutsell started whipping his track and field squad into shape for the Florida Relays, March 30. Such performers as ace pole vaulter Dave Sprinkle and star miler and half-miler Captain Jim Swanner were lost to the squad at the conclusion of last year's season but the return of Captain Chuck Morgan, SEC hurdles champion as well as performer in the low hurdles and the high jump; Bobby Dickinson, holder of second place laurels in the SEC broad jump, and crack sprinter; and Chester Bulger, 15 point man in the shot, the javelin and the discus, makes Tiger cinder hopes look as bright as usual. Other likely candidates are Hol-ley, Shearer, Porter and Gunter in the 440 and 880-yd. runs; Drake, F. Morgan, Gibson, Wilson and Russell in the mile and two mile runs; Hall, a junior college transfer, Lankford and Bush in the pole vault; Stratford and Harris in the dashes; Ham in the high jump; Stephenson in the weight events; and Singletary and Morton in the hurdles. Freshman prospects showing good early season form are Robert Hints in the mile event, John Ball in the two mile, Bobby Harris in the 440, Jim Seay in the hurdles, Dudley in the distance events and Tyler in the 880-yd. run.

"ESTIMATES ARE GLADLY GIVEN" Positions Are Well Fortified The sharp smack of ball on glove and bat resounded over the baseball diamond this week as Auburn's 1940 willow wielders under the direction of Coach Porter Grant moved into action. Although hurt considerably by the loss of clutch hitter Mai Morgan, ace pitcher Dick Swindle and smart fielder Hunky Bazemore, the Tigers still look good enough on paper to give an excellent account of themselves. The catching detail of Red Caudill and Dick McGowen, both of whom lettered behind the bat, returns intact although McGowen is busy at present with spring training; Ralph Fraser, soph sensation, returns to his first base position. Kenmore and Rollo are candidates for the second base position though Jumpin George may be shifted to third to fill Morgan's vacated place. Carl Happer, also engaged in spring training, is another strong contender for either second or third. McCluskey and McNair, another spring trainer, will put on a dogfight for the short stop post while Hawke will be back to fill right f i e l d , Captain Tommie Thompson remains in center field and Hurst will most likely take over Bazemore's left field office. A schedule will be announced soon. Tommie Thompson, senior cen-terfielder and captain, who in noted for his hitting and fielding a- Iike.

Hydrochloric acid is not used as a washing material by launderies nor does the Chemist see how its formation could possibly take place as a result of laundering. Traces of celluloid were found in folds of tablecloth, which developed into knitting needles being folded up next to tablecloth. These slowly decomposed with the liberation of hydrogen chloride gas (which, with moisture, forms hydrochloric acid). Hydrochloric acid is also to be found in the home in some medicines, soldering outfits and some metal cleaners. It is better known as muriatic acid.

Candidates for publications positions as they waited to be interviewed by the Publications Board. Left to right: Warren Darty, unopposed for business manager of Plainsman; Ed Welden, candidate for business manager of Glomerata; Dan Hollis, candidate for editor of Plainsman; Trigger McGehee, candidate for editor of Glomerata; "Boots" Stratford, candidate for editor of Plainsman; Ed Paul, candidate for editor of Glomerata; and Kirk Newell, candidate for business manager of Glomerata. Publications Board Interviews Candidates Decision of Board Will be Made Public Monday Afternoon A searching spotlight was trained on aspirants for publications positions when the Publications Board interviewed candidates at a meeting here Tuesday afternoon. Appearing for individual interviews before the Board, the seven office-seekers were thoroughly quizzed on their qualifications and intentions in the event of election. Actual qualifying of candidates was deferred, however, until a meeting of the Publications Board on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. Included in the group who supported their applications to the Board were Warren Darty, unopposed candidate for business manager of the Plainsman; Ed Paul and Bill "Trigger" McGehee, both running for editor of the Glomerata; Boots Stratford and Dan Hollis, seekers of the editorship of the Plainsman; Ed Weld-en and Kirk Newell, opponents for the post of business manager of the Glomerata. Final judgment on the qualifications will be made public Monday afternoon. Appointed to the sub-committee to pass on the business managers were W. T. Ingram, Prof. J. E. Roop, Hankins Parker, Robert Armstrong, Ed McCowan. On the sub-committee to study applications of editors are Prof. J. R. Rutland, Kirtley Brown, Betty Showalter, Charles Kelley, John Godbold, Rollins Aldridge. Auburn Operetta To Be Staged Early Next Month With an artistic stage set completed and set up in Langdon Hall and a cast of 65 reporting for rehearsals, the operetta "Chimes of Normandy" is rapidly taking form. The operetta, directed jointly by Prof. Telfair Peet and Mr. Lawrence Barnett, is to be given early next month. The cast for the production includes eight characters with speaking or singing roles, a chorus composed of the entire personnel of the boys' and girls' glee clubs, and a number of dancers. Characters in the operetta include Fred Mohns as Henri, Count de Corneville; Lem Edmondson as Grenicheux, a sailor; Bob Haas as Gaspard, a miser; James Burt as Bailli, the Village Governor; Jean Byrd and Martha Daily as Germaine and Serpolette, wards of Gaspard; and Claudia Weinmann and Mary Frances Meadows as Gertrude and Manette, girls of the village. "The Chimes of Normandy", by Robert Jean Planquette, was first produced at the Folies Dramatique in Paris on April 19, 1897. Miss Margaret Bracey, Gadsden, Alabama, will lead the Theta Chi dance tonight with C. W. Thompson, Jr., Piedmont, Alabama. March 7 Is Set For HighSchoolTourney Over 500 high school boys and girls from all sections of Alabama are expected to come to Auburn March 7, 8, and 9 to participate in the 21 contests of the annual State High School Tournament here. Dr. Leo G. Gosser of the English Department is general chairman of the tournament. Other members of the Auburn faculty will assist Dr. Gosser in conducting and judging the various contests. High spot of the competition is expected to be the dramatics tournament of one-act plays, won last year by Murphy High School of Mobile. This tournament is conducted by means of two elimination brackets, one for small schools, the other for large, the winner being chosen at the conclusion of a final bracket composed of the small schools champion and the two semi-finalists in the large schools division. The Auburn Players will assist in staging the plays. Other contests in the tournament will include aeronautics, art, biology, books, chemistry, drama, foreign languages, history, industrial arts, journalism, Latin, mathematics, mechanical drawing, music, physics, public speaking, science, spelling, typewriting, and creative writing. Alumni and 'A' Day Is Scheduled For March 16 Coach Meagher to Be Honored at Half Of Football Game Plans for an Alumni and "A" Day celebration which will take place March 16 to honor the alumni and Coach Meagher are now being formed, according to George Wolff, president of the "A" Club. Tentative plans include a football game between "Orange" and "Blue" teams with a ceremony honoring Coach Meagher taking place at the half, and an Alumni Night the night ^before with Porter Grant, Alumni Secretary, and George Mattison, President of the Alumni Association, in charge of proceedings. Other plans will be published soon.

Program for the day was outlined to the Alumnae Association by Dr. Walston who estimates that between 500 and 1,000 visitors will be present on May 3. The program will open with the annual ROTC review at 11 a.m. on Bullard Field. This will be followed by a college luncheon for visitors at 1:00 p.m. in the women's dining hall; an address "Tomorrow's Women", by Mrs. Rohde at 2 p.m.; dedication of the Women's Quadrangle by President Duncan at 2:50 p.m.; tour of Auburn and the new buildings at 3 p.m.; alumnae tea in Social Center at 4:30 p.m.; May Day Festival at Graves Center, 7:00 p.m. Committees appointed by Mrs. Wright included alumnae tea committee, Mrs. C.

RALPH PEARSON LECTURESTONIGHT ON 'MODERN ART' Talk Slated for 8:15; Lecturer Has Had Wide Experience in Many Fields Expert information on modern art is in store for Auburn students and townspeople who attend the lecture here this evening by Ralph M. Pearson in Langdon Hall at eight, the semi-final feature of the current Auburn Concert and Lecture series. The subject of Mr. Pearson's illustrated lecture will be "Development of Modern Art." Mr. Pearson originated the experiment in adult art education known as the Design Workshop at the New School for Social Research which he still directs. He has written many magazine articles and two well-known books on art, "Portfolio of Etched Bookplates" and "Fifty Prints of the Year 1925." Besides his artistic endeavors, Mr. Pearson has had a life full of adventure. Once he built a 35 foot cabin cruiser and took a round trip from Chicago down the Mississippi, through the Gulf of Mexico, around the coast to New York, and through the Erie Canal and Great Lakes back to Chicago. Pearson also spent several years once in the pioneer development of aviation, principally the building of safe aeroplane motors and tractor biplanes. Arrangements For Military Ball Are Well Underway Annual Event Will Be Held at Graves Center, March 15 Arrangements are well under way for the 1940 Military Ball, to take place in Graves Center, March 15, according to John Rice, Captain of Scabbard and Blade. The Auburn Knights will play for the affair. Plans for the Military Ball, an annual event sponsored by the ROTC corps, are being carried out under direction of the Auburn chapter of Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society. Bids are to be sent all ROTC seniors, and juniors will be admitted to the dance by signing away 50c of their uniform allowance at the door. Juniors will not be permitted to bring dates. All regular Army officers stationed at Auburn are to be invited, along with President L. N. D u n c a n , Executive Secretary Ralph Draughon, and other college officials. Reserve officers in this district will also be sent bids. Preceding the dance at Graves Center there is to be a Scabbard and Blade banquet at 6:30 in the banquet hall of the Baptist Church, at which each Blade man will present his date with a small saber as a favor. Dancing is scheduled to begin at 9:30. Program for the night will include a grand march, Scabbard and Blade, Field Artillery, and Engineer leadouts, and three no-breaks. All Qualified Junior Voters Are Listed Any Corrections or Additions Must Be Published Within the Week Notice An agent of the State Department of Revenue will be in Auburn Tuesday, March 5, to assist members of the f a c u l t y or others who wish aid in making out their Income Tax returns to the State. Huntingdon Glee Club Will Present Concert Wednesday Will Take Place at 8 : 1 5 in Langdon; 'Martha' to be Sung The Huntingdon College Glee Club, of which Miss Edna Earle Eagerton is president, will arrive in Auburn Wednesday, March 6, for a concert at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon Hall. One of the features of the program will be the club's presentation of the first act of the opera, "Martha". Miss Arline Hanke, junior from Montgomery, will appear in the title role. In addition to a wide selection of classical and semi-classical numbers, the singers will also present "The Green Window", an original composition by the late Prof. Olaf Jensen of the organ department. "The Green Window" is a musical setting given a poem by Miss Sarah Jane Westerbeke, Huntingdon. The poem was inspired by the large green window in the Huntingdon chapel. Queen of Commerce Ball Is Chosen Identity Is Kept Secret; Will be Crowned at Dance The Queen of the Commerce Ball was elected last Monday morning by a vote of all Business Administration students and will be crowned during the grand march at the Ball which will be held Friday night, March 8. The queen's identity will remain secret until she is crowned but she was selected from the following seven coed business students. They are Maude Mullen, senior; Helen Jordan, junior, Chi Omega; Bettie Belle Brandt, junior, Kappa Delta; Doris Greene, junior, Alpha Gamma Delta; Lucille Wal-den, sophomore, Phi Omega Pi; Laura Smith, sophomore; and Col-ley Thompson, sophomore. Rufus Porter, president of Delta Sigma Pi, which organization is sponsoring the dance, will escort the queen during the grand march. All business administration students will be admitted on presentation of their student ticket book and, in addition, bids have been sent to the president and one other member of each honorary organization on the campus, and to the faculty members of the business school. Also each member of Delta Sigma Pi will have a certain number of bids to distribute. The Auburn Knights will furnish the music for the ball, dancing beginning at 9 and lasting 'till 1 o'clock. During the dance there will be a Delta Sigma Pi no-break, a senior business student no-break, and one other no-break in addition to the grand march. MAURICE HINDUS TO SPEAK HERE TOMORROWNIGHT 'What Next in Europe?' Will be His Subject; Last on Lecture Series Maurice Hindus, distinguished journalist and lecturer, will speak in Langdon Hall Saturday night as the final feature of the 1940 Concert Series. His subject, as announced by the Lecture Series Committee, is "What Next in Europe?" Hindus will come here as an added attraction to the regular schedule of concerts and lectures, and season tickets will not be good for the performance. Tickets, now on sale at prices of twenty-five cents for students and fifty cents for faculty members and townspeople, may be purchased from International Relations Club members or' from the News Bureau on the first floor of Samford Hall. The lecturer will be expected to discuss both the Russo-Finnish and the Anglo-French-German conflicts. He is familiar with the set-up in Europe through many journalistic missions there, and is as competent as any man in the lecturing field to predict coming events in the struggles now in progress on that continent. During Hitler's triumph over Poland last fall, Hindus was in Warsaw, and will be expected in the course of his lecture to speak of his experiences during that crisis. A number of Hindus' books may be found in the API library, including "Green Worlds", "We Shall Live Again," and "Red Bread."

Dress Up The Band THE Auburn band, as it plays for military parades and reviews and thrills spectators at football games with its stirring music, has done much for and is certainly a credit to Auburn; and we hereby put in a plea that this fine unit be furnished uniforms more in accordance with the status of the school it represents and the wonderful music that it plays. The band already has ear appeal to spectators, and snappier uniforms along with the loosening of such regulations that prevent all but the simplest maneuvers and formations would give it eye appeal as well. We want no flamboyant uniforms such as many college bands wear which reek so of the circus, but rather an attractive yet dignified outfit which would embody the now almost traditional orange and blue cape. The cape; a dark blue coat of military cut with orange shoulder straps, lapel facings and cuffs and a bit of gold braid and white Sam Erowne belts for the officers; and trousers of a lighter blue with orange stripes down the seam would be one of many striking combinations possible. The school is dressing up-; why not dress the band up! B.S. Why Not An Outdoor Pool? AS facilities for the use of Auburn varsity athletes increase, the need of the many Auburn athletes that indulge in sports merely for the recreation afforded is more clearly seen. For the benefit of these athletes, some several new tennis courts are abuilding and will be ready for use this spring. But another sadly lacking recreational facility that would hold an even more universal appeal to students is an outdoor swimming pool. There is no apparent reason why the school and the town of Auburn shouldn't get together and build a pool and charge a small admission until it is paid for or, failing that, why shouldn't some smart business man about town build such a pool? As things stand now, students have to go all the w a y to Wright's Mill or Opelika to enjoy a swim: a pool h e r e, with a dance pavilion, open from the first of May through both summer school sessions 'till the end of September, would certainly bring in enough revenue from students and townspeople alike to make the plan feasible. And, more than that, it would be an attractive asset to both the school and the town of Auburn. B.S. Keep On Following Huey THE LATE lamented patron saint of Louisiana State University, Huey Long, had a great many bizarre ideas about education and a great many more which weren't so bizarre. Certainly no college ever increased its stature, or had it increased, more quickly than Huey's beloved LSU. Among the Kingf ish's minor but still practical ideas about how to run a college was his belief that the walks on a campus should be laid according to the specifications of the students who used them. Instead of arbitrarily laying walks with the help of geometry and without particular reference to convenience, the Kingfish laid his walks along the paths made by the students of LSU in finding the shortest distance between two points. Auburn, although never the protege of a Kingfish, has followed this plan of letting the students define the walks. Paths cobweb our campus from Samford Hall around by Ag Hill to Vet Hill. The only defect in Auburn's system of walks is that the walks are narrow paths in dry weather and rivulets in wet weather. We wish Auburn would keep on following Huey, at least as far as getting our w a l k s streamlined and waterproofed. R.S. Wake Up, Freshmen IT'S too bad that many freshmen find their English course the least inspiring of their classes. They complain that grammar is silly, reading boring books is a waste of time, and the exactness of form required by the professor is tyrannical. Never Completely Learned Of all the subjects studied, one's native tongue is the study that is most used. It is a subject that can never be completely . learned. It can never be exhausted. That one should complain because one is forced to still attempt learning grammar in college is strange. The other day a coed said that she had decided that the classics are "as boring as everyone says they are." But unless one has a solid foundation (a hackneyed phrase but an apt one) in the classics one fails to appreciate the books of today that may be the classics of tomorrow. For without the possession of the heritage that knowledge of the classic gives, one misses the joy of recognitions and allusions in more modern books. Theme Paper Tyranny The tyranny of the professor who is particular as to the form of a theme paper is not so much tyranny as it is a lesson in good manners. There is a correct way to treat even a professor. Drilling in good form will serve to form automatic good habits in writing. All of this has been said before. Everything that an English professor tells his freshmen has been taught them before. But as long as they listen with deaf ears and read with blind eyes they have no right to complain that the professor is not making his material interesting; they are not giving him a chance to be. Sometimes a professor may say something worth listening to. Southern Pines Make Paper THE dream of Dr. Charles Her-ty, noted Georgia chemist, who spent the last eight years of his life perfecting the process that makes it possible to evolve newsprint on a commercial scale from southern timber, has become a reality and is destined to grow. The Lufkin Daily News, of Lufkin, Texas, recently became the first newspaper to be printed for regular run on southern pine stock. The paper used was made in a new $6,000,000 newsprint plant outside Lufkin.

STONE, NOW A SUPREME COURT OUSTICE/ e The Plainsman Forum Letters to the Editor Wherein a Plainsman Writer Is Called Down Re: "A Disease is Not a Disgrace" Editor, Auburn Plainsman, Auburn, Ala. Dear Sir: In regard to the editorial "A Disease is Not a Disgrace" — the gentleman submitting the article advises that the disease in the primary stage "may cause a rash similar to pox or measles." This is definitely misleading since the primary stage is evidenced by the "initial sclerosis" or chancre, which appears about twenty-one days after the infection. In about six weeks after the beginning of the primary lesion, more or less generalized cutaneous manifestations appear. The last mentioned interval, usually described as the second incubation period, may extend over a period of from four to twelve weeks. An alumnus, Chas. D. Verstandig, MD Houston, Texas. On the Ride Catching Situation Dear Ed.: When after a few hours of plaintive calling, a student (dressed in uniform or cap) finally persuades a kindly motorist to stop; the question that is almost always asked before he gets to the car window is, "Do you go to school at Auburn?" Nine out of ten of the hitchhikers can truthfully say yes, but the tenth one cannot. By some scheme this tenth one has begged, borrowed or stolen a uniform or cap and is using it to catch rides with. Of course a few will say "If they can get away with it, then let them do it." But those are the few that own automobiles, and for every one of these fortunates there are a couple of hundred others who depend on the friendly motorists for their rides. When Auburn students find it more and more difficult to catch rides, then they will realize what they have done. So let's try to keep this only method of identification among ourselves if we expect motorists to treat us kindly in the future. Yours very truly, A student. Well? By Dan W.

OVER THERE— "Old Man Weather" has come to the aid of the Finns again just as the Reds were about to batter their way through the Mannerheim line near Viipuri . . . cold blizzards swept over the battlefield bogging down the heavy Russian war machinery. Both sides continued to claim smashing victories. Nazi-British sea warfare flared a-new during the week with censored reports from each side claiming victories for the home boys. Sumner Welles, Assistant Secretary of State, landed in Rome to confer with Count Ciano, Mussolini's right hand man. Myron C. Taylor, F.D.R.'s personal representative to Pope Pius also went along on this diplomatic mission. OVER HERE— F.D.R.'s "fishing cruise" to the Canal Zone got him away from the big question that both the Elephants and the Donkeys would like so very much to know—"will he run for a third term?" . . . Up in Birmingham, Cooper Green, "the people's choice" swept into the office as President of the City Commission of that city by a landslide vote over his "mud-slinging" opponent. The first preferential presidential primary held over in Donaldsonville, Ga., showed a decided majority favor F.D.R. for third term . . . meanwhile other preferential primaries were approaching at various points in the nation. Opinion polls continued to show an increasing trend of opinion favoring a third term. HERE AT THE PLAINS— The Varsity Debate Team left on a tour through Mississippi and Tennessee last Monday, meeting as many as two colleges a day in arguments over current questions. . . . The Glomerata has decided to run an extra page in their annual scrap book, making a total of 401 pages this year. The extra page will concern the open warfare recently declared by the opposing publication f o r c e s — THE PLAINSMAN and the glomerata. In an unquotable statement yesterday afternoon, Stooge Kelley made it plain that the extra added page, which incidentally will be tinted red, being the color for "blood", would certainly do the semi-weekly publication "no good". Chief Grafter Hank Parker could not be reached for a statement when the paper went to press today, but it was confidentally reported that the back of the extra page would be "done up in yellow advertisement". But enough of that. The Executive Council will make a report next week on the proposed anti-cheating campaign. It is hoped that some line of action may be adopted to remedy this situation. The point the majority of students need to understand, however, is that no one is proposing an "Honor System", it is simply a campaign to do away with cheating. Meanwhile the Executive Cabinet makes plans for making further revisions to the student government constitution. . . . Other plans include a new name for the Cabinet. . . . We think that the name Student Senate would be appropriate. Another new proposal of a member of the Cabinet is to organize the presidents of all organizations on the campus into a form of "advisory legislature", to make suggestions on work for the Cabinet, and to help educate their various organizations on new acts and programs of the Cabinet. This year this group of orgization presidents have been greatly helpful in handling such problems as Religious Emphasis Week and the Anti-Cheating Campaign. We believe that a more compact body of this sort would be of great help toward better student government.

WE WUZ secretely wedded to Karrie last night in a nearby town. Since we have been keeping company for almost a year now, and because it is Leap Year, Karrie popped t he question while we were still in the "I like you better than any girl I ever knew" stage. Karrie said t he neighbors were talking, and that if we were honorable in our intentions, now was the time to show it. The responsibility of married life has made us lose our usual carefree attitude, and we are now a perfect example of domestic tranquility. * * * Changing rules so much, we feel like Mobile used to. Working under three editors in less than two weeks is some sort of a record, not to mention being quite confusing. Stratford's entry into the editorial race opposing Hollis has provided opposition in one race usually characterized by only one contestant, and Pruitt's announcement closed the gap of unopposed candidates by giving Jim King a rival. * * * Tuesday's Plainsman stated that from over 300 Wassermans given, not one negative specimen of blood had been found.

Go to bed, keep warm, but not too warm, drink soda water hourly, drink lots of fruit juices, take copious doses of suitable medicine, sleep as much as possible, have fresh air, but not blowing on you, and keep as quiet as possible. Your cold should be over in two weeks. On the other hand, stay up late, sleep in wind, get feet wet, eat and drink as you please, get cold and hot alternately, and above all, be active. You will be completely recovered in 14 days. * * + Karrie, Kampus Kutest Bride, says, "Look what I got without half trying. Maybe I should have put out a little more effort!" Freshman Trounces Seniors In Ag Club "Quiz" Contest AN odd experiment conducted before the Ag Club last Wednesday night showed that freshmen seem to know more on practical questions relating to agriculture than seniors. In a "Professor Quiz" contest the freshman team decidedly whipped the senior contingent. The experiment was conducted on a program presented by the Sears Roebuck Scholarship Club and was prepared by Merlin Bryant, junior in agriculture. Townsend (Kay) Kyser acted as the "Old Professor." Four outstanding seniors, all officers of the Ag Club, and two of whom were recently selected by Gamma Sigma Delta, national honorary agricultural fraternity, were pitted against four freshmen who were simply picked at random from the audience. The seniors who competed in the contest were Fred Wellborn, president of the club; Ra-vonn Pettis, vice-president; Jack Cagle, secretary; and Fred Harlin, treasurer. Four practical questions relating to agriculture were asked each of the contestants in the first round. The contestants selected the questions from a hat, and then attempted to answer the question. At the end of the first round, Fred Wellborn and Ravonn Pettis were tied in score for the senior group. Freshman Tom Bullington was high scorer in the "rat" group. In the final round, Bullington scored 300 out of a possible 400 points. The two seniors scored only 184 points, on two questions each, out of the possible 400. The freshman, by himself, had soundly whipped the two seniors. And what do you think of that? It just goes to show that the longer you go to college the less you know. EDITOR'S NOTE: In Tuesday's front page "Wasserman" story, the obvious error— "—are well over three hundred. Of this number, not one negative specimen of blood has been discovered"—was made. For the sake of the record, the story should have read "not one positive specimen of blood has been discovered." There was a beautiful garden And there was a man within And there was a perfect woman And there was no thought of sin. And there were flowers and sunshine Sparkling on hill and plain But how could they know the sunshine Before they had known the rain? There they were blest and honored Above all the future race But what could they know of honor Before they had felt disgrace? How could they know they were happy Until they had drunk of woe How could he know she was perfect When everything else was so? Such life was but half of living And by all things above Until they had suffered together How could they know of love? Kisses Kill Cold Germs! THE theory of a prominent physician that kissing generates enough heat to kill germs and makes for better circulation of health last night was undergoing a severe test on the campus of the University of California. There has been an epidemic of colds and influenza at the university and the physician said it might be due to a laxity of student kissing, much to relief of the students who were alarmed at word that university officials were considering a two-month ban on kissing to halt the epidemic. The undergraduates' u n e x p e c t e d benefactor was Dr. Simon L. Katzoff, consulting physician with the San Francisco institute of human relations for 20 years. Must Be Real Kits "The University people have forgotten their chemistry," chided Katzoff. "Kissing generates enough heat to destroy the germs and it builds up resistance. A genuine kiss is like an electric current magnetized by the masculine and feminine polarities. "And I don't mean the kind between Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones at the Tuesday bridge club," he added stressing that the antiseptic virtue lay in the virility. Only thus, he said, was kissing self-purifying. "Besides, the modern girl uses enough lipstick and other paint to kill any germ," Katzoff continued. "There is no need for hauling around a jug of diluted carbolic acid to wash with after every kiss. "If there is an influenza epidemic at the university, I might suggest there has not been enough kissing lately. Come to think of it, they just got over their winter exams, and probably they have been too busy." "Married couples should kiss more," Katzoff added. "It makes for better circulation and better health, mentally and physically. March 1, 1940 THE A U B U R N P L A I N S M AN Page Three WORDS on MUSIC By JIMMY GILBERT Looks like the rising young rhythm tune this week is "Tuxedo Junction", brain child of Erskine Hawkins. Everywhere I go, I run into previews and favorable comments on this fine "jookin'" piece. One of the best renditions to date is by the local Knights, batoneered by Bobby Adair. They play an arrangement based on the stock orchestration by E. Hawkins, before mentioned as the proud papa of said killer-diller. When I say it's the up and coming song on the campus, kids, I really mean it. Other Knight previews bring to the fore none other than Robin (Humoresque) Russell's new latest arrangement. The title is "Starlit Hour", and Polly Hallman does the vocal. Polly accents the well known "pleading" tones in another of her latest — "Would'ja Mind?". Nice!! And the above brings me to my pet record this week. It's that Baker gal again—this time with "Pinch Me", and "Would'ja Mind?". (I know, you just got through reading about Polly singing it. Well, Bonnie pleads on it too.) Naturally, it's Orrin Tucker's orchestra on a Columbia record. Orrin also plays and vocalizes, on another disc, "Many Dreams Ago", and "Twilight Interlude". The latter can't be beat for creating that dreamy mood. Another Columbia platter. In the "beat it out" department, Wingy Manone does "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Sudan". The former reeks of Louie Armstrong — the latter is slightly tom-tomish. Both Good. (Bluebird). Oldie "Three Little Words" and newie "You're a Lucky Guy" are good and swingy. Gene Krupa and Kats on Columbia. Duke Ellington plays two of his own compositions, "Grievin" and "Tootin Through the Roof". Nothing extra. This is another Columbia disc, as is "I'd Love to Call You My Sweetheart" and "Drummin Man" by ex-Goodman-ite Krupa again. Hep to these, cats. They're good. "What Every Young Girl Should Know" is sweet in spite of the title. Harry Babbitt sings with Kay Kyser's Band. Sully Mason Jills up the other side with "Holy Smoke". Good. Columbia. Radioites, we're starting a new section this week. This paragraph, under the name of "Swinging Through the Week", will suggest a well known band to listen to each night of the week. This week —Monday: Glenn Miller at eleven. NBC—Tues.: Bob Crosby at 10:- 45. CBS—Weds.: Tommy Dorsey at 10:30. NBC — Thurs.: Larry Clinton at 11:15. WSB, Atlanta —Friday: Count Basie at 11:00, NBC. Success Story: The wandering minstrels known hereabouts as the Auburn Cavaliers are at present installed in the Claridge Hotel in Memphis. New baton swinger is none other than Col. Manny Prager—ex Ben Bernie boy. Nice going. Local note: The torrid, torchy, trumpet tooting Hatcher, popularly known as Chick, managed to survive both the measles and the infirmary this past week.

Auburn Roller Rink AC ENGINEERING CLUB BECOMES MEMBER OF ASAE The Agricultural Engineering Club which was formed locally last October has recently been accepted as a student branch of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Due to the efforts of several students in Agricultural Engineering, the local club was formed last fall and a constitution was drawn up and submitted to the national society. The club which meets every Tuesday night at 7:00 o'clock is often entertained by prominent agricultural men and movies. Plans are now underway for securing the new Westinghouse movie, which will probably be presented in the near future at a joint meeting of ASAE and the Ag Club. Officers for the first semester were: Prank Clayton, president; F. W. Weaver, vice-president; Carl Morgan, secretary; and Charles Rollo, treasurer.. Shortly after notice that the club had been accepted, new officers were elected. These are: Lawrence Ennis, president; Carl Morgan, vice-president; Tom Hereford, secretary; and James Green, treasurer. The club urges that all men taking Ag Engineering be present at the weekly meetings on Tuesday nights.

KAPPA SIGS HOLD INITIATION RITES Beta Eta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity held formal initiation last Sunday afternoon for the following pledges: Malcolm Hunter, Montgomery; Prude McGee, Carrollton; George Chipman, Atlanta; Bobby Goodin, Jackson, Tenn.; J. B. Wilson, Auburn; John Main, Union Springs; Locke Redd, Ozark; F. H. Mohns, Birmingham; Gene Wellons, Macon, Ga. Jamie Spencer of Jackson, Tenn., is- also a recent initiate. Following the initiatiory ceremonies, which were conducted by V. V. Mitchell assisted by Dick Hall, Charles Harris, and Charlie Kilpatrick, a banquet was held in the chapter house. Kappa Sigma also announces the following new pledges: Fred Arnold, Abbeville; Bill Bailey, Birmingham; Dick Koran, Evanston, 111.; J. B. Jardine, Douglas, Ga.; Gordon Main, Union Springs; Dick Hinkle, Birmingham. Mr. M. B. McDonald, of Birmingham. Although harassed the past two weeks by inclement weather, track practice picked up this week with the arrival of the sun and Coach Wilbur Hutsell started whipping his track and field squad into shape for the Florida Relays, March 30. Such performers as ace pole vaulter Dave Sprinkle and star miler and half-miler Captain Jim Swanner were lost to the squad at the conclusion of last year's season but the return of Captain Chuck Morgan, SEC hurdles champion as well as performer in the low hurdles and the high jump; Bobby Dickinson, holder of second place laurels in the SEC broad jump, and crack sprinter; and Chester Bulger, 15 point man in the shot, the javelin and the discus, makes Tiger cinder hopes look as bright as usual. Other likely candidates are Hol-ley, Shearer, Porter and Gunter in the 440 and 880-yd. runs; Drake, F. Morgan, Gibson, Wilson and Russell in the mile and two mile runs; Hall, a junior college transfer, Lankford and Bush in the pole vault; Stratford and Harris in the dashes; Ham in the high jump; Stephenson in the weight events; and Singletary and Morton in the hurdles. Freshman prospects showing good early season form are Robert Hints in the mile event, John Ball in the two mile, Bobby Harris in the 440, Jim Seay in the hurdles, Dudley in the distance events and Tyler in the 880-yd. run.

"ESTIMATES ARE GLADLY GIVEN" Positions Are Well Fortified The sharp smack of ball on glove and bat resounded over the baseball diamond this week as Auburn's 1940 willow wielders under the direction of Coach Porter Grant moved into action. Although hurt considerably by the loss of clutch hitter Mai Morgan, ace pitcher Dick Swindle and smart fielder Hunky Bazemore, the Tigers still look good enough on paper to give an excellent account of themselves. The catching detail of Red Caudill and Dick McGowen, both of whom lettered behind the bat, returns intact although McGowen is busy at present with spring training; Ralph Fraser, soph sensation, returns to his first base position. Kenmore and Rollo are candidates for the second base position though Jumpin George may be shifted to third to fill Morgan's vacated place. Carl Happer, also engaged in spring training, is another strong contender for either second or third. McCluskey and McNair, another spring trainer, will put on a dogfight for the short stop post while Hawke will be back to fill right f i e l d , Captain Tommie Thompson remains in center field and Hurst will most likely take over Bazemore's left field office.
