Need Of Manpower On Front
Is Cause Of Reduction Of ASTP
CLARIFIES SITUATION
ASTP DESIGNATES
PVT. SONENSHEIN
AS HONOR STUDENT
Pvt. Bernard Sonenshein, New
York, N. Y., of Company 3 ASTP,
has been designed as an Honor
Student for the term ending
January 1, 1944, upon recommend­ation
of the dean of the school of
Science and Literature at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and by order of Col. John Water­man,
commandant.
Pvt. Sonenshein will wear a
blue star on the left sleeve of his
service coat denoting that he is
an Honor Student and that he is
excused from study hall.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Max Sonenshein of New York
City and attended the City Col­lege
of New York' before enter­ing
the Army. Although he was
a student of business administra­tion,
he hopes to return to col-letge
after the war and continue
the engieering course which he
is now taking as an ASTP trainee.
Life in Auburn to Pvt. Sonen­shein
is fine, much better than
'life in the Infantry', he said in
his first interview today. He is
19 years old. Photography is his
hobby, and although he does not
jitterbug, he likes swing music.
Waterman Says Veterinary, Advanced
Engineering Students To Remain Here
"The time has now come for the majority of you to be as­signed
to other active duty," stated the bulletin issued by or­der
of Col. John J. Waterman, Commandant to all ASTP
trainees at A u b u r n in connection with reduction of Army Spe­cialized
Training, effective April 1. "To break the enemies'
defenses and force their unconditional surrender, it is nec­essary
to hit them with the full
weight of America's manpower.
Because of this imperative mili­tary
necessity, most of you will
soon be ordered to field service,
before the completion of your nor­mal
course."
"Although the curtailment af­fects
basic engineering sections,"
said Col. Waterman, "the ASTP
sections in advanced engineering
and veterinary medicine will be
retained."
Dr. L. N. Duncan, president, is­sued
a statement clarifying the
situation.
"While enrollment will be con­siderably
curtailed, the Auburn
campus will continue to be a
training field for a large number
of trainees in advanced engineer­ing,
veterinary medicine, and ap­proximately
500 naval radio stu­dents.
In addition, approximately
80 naval flying cadets will be re­tained
at the Auburn CAA-WTS
school."
The remainder of the bulletin
issued to the trainees follows:
"To Each ASTP Trainee:
"You were assigned to the
Army Specialized Training Pro­gram
because it was felt that the
courses of instruction scheduled
would materially increase your
value to the military service. You
have been working under high
pressure to master as quickly as
possible those essentials of col­lege
training of greatest impor­tance
to your development as a
soldier.
"The Army Specialized Train­ing
Program will be reduced prior
to April 1, 1944, to 35,000 trainees
which will include 5,000 pre-in-duction
students and advanced
medical, dental, and engineering
groups, the USMA preparatory
course and certain language
groups. Most of you released from
the ASTP will be assigned to the
Army Ground Forces for duty
with divisions and other units.
"Your intelligence, training and
high qualities of leadership are
expected to raise the combat ef­ficiency
of those units. The thou­sands
of ASTP trainees who have
already been assigned to field
service have set high standards
for you to follow.
"By order of the Secretary of
War:
The Adjutant General
HUGH W. ELLIS,
1st Lt. F. A."
Col. John J. Waterman, com­mandant,
has announced offici­ally
that Auburn's ASTP Engi­neers
in terms 5 and 6 and Vet­erinary
ASTPs will be retained
as a part of the Army's Special­ized
Training Program, although
the Basic ASTP Engineers will
leave for active duty.
AST Company
Will Sponsor
Campus Prom
Second In Series
Will Be In Alumni
Gym; Band To Play
The Second Company, ASTP,
will sponsor the second of the
series of All-Campus "Proms, be­gun
last week by the Third Com­pany.
The informal dance will
be from 8:30 to 12 tomorrow
night in Alumni Gym, which will
be decorated for the occasion.
•Girls will be given late per­mission
to attend the dance. Un­der
the same rules as followed
last weekend, all men must bring
dates except members of the
Second Company. All Navy men,
soldiers and civilians are urged
to come.
Refreshments will be served.
A band from a prison camp will
provide music. Many members
of the band have played with
well-known orchestras. One was
with Paul Whiteman.
Tickets Go On Sale
Next Quarter For
Auburn-Bama Game
Tickets for the Alabama-Au­burn
interfraternity game, priced
at 50 cents, will go on sale Wed­nesday,
March 8 at the Main Gate
booth, according to an announce­ment
by Roy Brakeman, presi­dent
of ODK. Tickets may also be
purchased at the API News Bu­reau
from Mrs. Lawrence Bar-nett.
Members of ODK will sell tick­ets
at the Main GateyWednesday
of each week until the week of
the game. Due to the very limit­ed
seating capacity of Alumni
Gym, only a conservative num­ber
of tickets will be printed and
a number of these will be turned
over to the University for sale
there.
Playoffs at Auburn are not yet
over. The last game, to determine
the championship, will be played
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock
in Alumni Gym between Alpha
Psi and the winner of this after­noon's
game between OTS and
Sigma Chi.
Martha Blake
Chosen Queen
For May Ball
Martha Blake, KD, Sheffield,
was elected May Queen by the
women students at the polls in
Smith Hall last Tuesday. She
will be crowned at the first an­nual
May Day Ball, according to
P a t Kirkwood, president of
Sphinx, senior honor society for
women that sponsors the annual
May Day festivities.
Although only five candidates
were entered, over three hundred
votes were cast.
Martha Blake, Sheffield, is a
senior in Home Economics, ma­joring
in home demonstration.
She is a member of Kappa Delta
Pi, honorary educational organi­zation.
Other candidates will serve in
the queen's court. They are Madge
Jarrard, Montgomery, DZ; Mar­tha
Frances Kilgore, Decatur, Chi
O; Jane Ann McCall, Gulf port,
Miss., Alpha Gam, and Sue Mc­Donald,
Ragland, ADPi.
The coronation will take place
at a May Day Ball. Preceding
the coronation, a short program
will be given by the dance club.
This Business Of Saying
Goodbye Seems To Be _
The Fashionable Thing
Whatever the facts may be
about the ASTs leaving, they all
have a pretty good idea that the
New Building and Broun Hall are
about to see the last of them.
When asked to express their re­action
to impending departure,
their answers were quite as vari­ed
as answers usually are. Here
are a few examples:
Ed Proctor: "The sooner the
better; I repeat, the sooner the
better."
Dan Alperin: "Been here for
nine months. Had a swell time.
Glad I'm going—nothing like see­ing
the world."
Jack Magee: "I really hate to
go, but as long as I have to, I'll
make the best of it."
Chuck Kiely: "I'm speechless
with regret at the prospect of
leaving here because I'm assigned
to a dental school and my idea of
dental coeds is in need of im­provement."
Robert Drennan: "The nine
month's furlough has been most
enjoyable. Will undoubtedly miss
the Village of the Plain."
Gibbs Dannehower: "It's been
great here, and how am I gonna
convince the folks back home
that this isn't just a polite way
of flunking out."
NO PLAINSMAN
Because of examinations, there
will be no Plainsman next week.
The next issue will be on March
10, the first Friday of the spring
quarter.

War Eagle Meant
"Come And Get It"
In Good Old Days
Bits of information, like little
scattered intermittent flames,
continue to arise from different
sections of the country concern­ing
the origin of that famous old
Auburn battle cry, "War Eagle".
It's been a rather slow process,
that of gathering evidence to
prove that the cry originated in
Auburn and not in Georgia, but
we believe its true origin will
soon be definitely proved. One
of the best pieces of evidence
yet offered is the following let­ter,
written by Mr. Charles C.
Thach, son of a former president
of API and a graduate of the
class of 1912. Col. Alex Cunning­ham
defied any old-timer to
speak to the contrary when he
stated that "War f Eagle" origi­nated
in an Auburn-Georgia
game of 1913. Well, here it is.
Manhasset, N. Y.
2/21/44
My Dear Mr. Editor,
I can assure you that the sound
of "War Eagle" on the (some­times)
soft night air of the Lovli-est
Village was heard prior to
1913. Being of the class of 1912,
the very best class ever to attend
Auburn, as Prof. John Pitts
cauld verify were he not on*
leave, I am, as I regret, of a suf­ficiently
venerable generation to
attest it. In truth, it first was
heard in my day as a howl by my
friends. And do you know what
it meant? Just that someone had
acquired a bottle containing "spi-ritus
ferments', called in that
distant day 'panther milk'. And
so the initiated would gather at
the cry.
Now you may choose to dis­count
my attribution, and I
couldn't swear to it. But, if you
care to pay my fare down, I'll go
on any witness stand, be sworn
in, and testify that War Eagle
antedates 191.3. So help me.
Very Truly Yours,
Charles C. Thach.
GRADUATES WILL GET

Miss "A" Day
Wins Over Nineteen
Other Candidates;
Sports Theme Used
Maxine Tatum, Kappa Delta
from Opelika, was chosen Miss
"A" Day at the informal dance
sponsored by Women's Athletic
Association last night in Alumni
Gym. Miss Tatum is a sophomore
in the School of Science and Lit­erature,
having transferred to Au­burn
from Huntingdon in the
summer of 1943.
The $161.50 taken in from the
dance will be given to the Red
Cross rather than to the Army
Emergency Relief Fund as for­merly
stated, announced Kay
Hall, president of WAA. Decora­tions
in Alumni Gym carried out
a sports theme in a color scheme
of orange and blue, Auburn's col­ors.
The 313th Army Air Forces
Band from Tuskegee played for
the dance, and in collaboration
with the Auburn cheerleaders
gave a special rendition of "Ti­ger
Rag." Auburn yells were led
by the cheerleaders.
Kay Hall awarded Miss "A"
Day with a loving cup. Miss Ta­tum
won over the following can­didates:
Doris Brown, Marion Boyle,
Kimball Boan, Ann Turner, Em-malee
Eversole, Theresa Hug,
Gwen Tucker, Margaret Wyatt,
Jeanne Wilderman, Virginia Col­lins,
Dorothy Irish, Kathryn
Thornton, Mildred Woodham, Ju­lia

the best-known, most heard baritone in radio, will ap­pear
in Alumni Gymnasium, March 11, t h e first Saturday
night of the spring quarter.
Miss Speaks, niece of composer

never has studied in Europe, she
has been acclaimed by the critics
in many of the capitals on the
Continent.
At Ohio State University,
where she graduated, Miss
Speaks was active in all things
musical, was director of the Wo­men's

We Don't Want One Here
Everybody remembers the Boston "Co­conut
Grove" fire of last year. It occurred
in a crowded, heavily decorated building.
The occupants were having a swell time
celebrating, and then the disaster struck.
Nearly every Saturday night a fratern­ity
dance is held in the Girls' Gym here in
Auburn and the place is usually jammed
to capacity. Recently, decorations of
crepe paper have been used overhead. The
stuff is highly inflammable and so are the
long, flowing evening dresses worn by the
ladies attending. No-smoking signs are
posted but evidently they aren't abidedby.
Fire escapes are provided but it doesn't
take much thinking to visualize the result
of a fire in such a place. And two or three
hundred people can't evacuate a building
that fast, even should panic be avoided.
Besides the fire hazard, decorations
cost money. There IS a war on too.
There is the situation. Looks like a
job for the individual fraternities or In-terfraternity
Council.
War Eagle Before 1913
We'd like to make another claim that
"War Eagle" is ours and always has been,
despite Col. Alex Cunningham's com­ments
to the contrary in the Atlanta
Journal. That we did not steal "War
Eagle" from Georgia in a football game in
1913 is evidenced by the fact that "War
Eagle" appears in the 1912 Glomerata.
As further evidence of the fact that
"War Eagle" had its birth long before
Auburn played Georgia, we publish the
following letter which we received this
week:
751 Mountain Drive, N. E.
Atlanta, Georgia
Editor of the Plainsman
Auburn, Alabama
Dear Sir:
I am writing to you in response to an ar­ticle
that appeared in your February 11
issue of The Plainsman.
As my older brother is a graduate of
your school, and my younger brother is
now with you, I feel as if I am in some way
attached to Auburn.^ At any rate, I should
like to help if I can.
To get to the point, the article in ques­tion
is the one concerning your famous bat­tle
cry "War Eagle!"
Upon reading this article, I immedi­ately
asked my father, who entered Au­burn
around 1910, if he knew of its origin.
He said that when the whole student
body of Auburn enlisted in the Confeder­ate
Army in 1860 during the War Between
the States they used this blood-curdling
and thrilling call to war.
I do hope that this bit of information
will help to clear this mystery which has
aroused Dr. Petrie and your student body.
Incidentally, in case you didn't already
know about it, some of the boys painted
this cry on the Sphinx in some of their
spare time not so long ago.
Yours very truly,
Margaret E. Berring
Don't Be Bashful
Editor and,
To the lovely ladies of the Loveliest
Village of the Plain:
We like you. We want you to enjoy
our company. Your efforts to make us
feel happy and at home in your city are
sincerely appreciated.
"Two Coeds" have complained to the
editor of the Plainsman that they were ig­nored
at the USO, and that they had a
very dull time there. We are sorry about
that. We want to do something about it,
but a surprising number of us are inclined
to be reticent and bashful, because we are
away from home. Some' of us are of the
old school of social procedure, which dic­tates
that the gentleman will wait for the
lady to speak first. We feel that it is the
privilege of the lady to open the conversa­tion,
especially if she bears the title of
"hostess."
We agree that the atmosphere at the
USO lacks the graceful congeniality that
is supposed to be its principal function. We
do not agree that the lack of proper intro­ductions
is the cause of this chilly aloof­ness.
You girls have been taught, of
course, that-ladies do not indulge in con­versation
with men to whom they have
not been properly introduced. You forget
that you have been introduced to us, to
all of us. We remember a convocation at
Langdon Hall, where one of you, a sweet
little blonde named Shirley, welcomed us
to Auburn in your behalf. She told us that
you were glad to have us here, and that
you wanted to make our visit here a pleas­ant
one. She told us that it is the custom
as Auburn to speak a cheery word of greet­ing
without the formality of a "proper in­troduction."
At the USO you are our hostesses. You
have the privilege of starting a conversa­tion
with anyone. You need not wait for
someone to ask you to dance or play
games. Maybe those boys huddled in the
corner don't want to dance or play games.
Maybe they are lonesome; maybe they
want to talk to somebody besides men.
When a soldier or a sailor is away from
home, he needs friendship more than any­thing
else. He goes to dances and social
functions and service centers because he
wants to meet people and make new
friends. The easiest and best way to start
a friendship is through conversation. Try
starting a conversation some time with a
soldier or a sailor who looks as though he
were not enjoying the party. You may be
surprised to find that he is not dull or un­friendly.
He appreciates your interest.
Maybe he doesn't dance or play bridge, but
he may be an interesting character, never­theless.
Perhaps you girls are not interested in
people and personalities. Maybe you just
want to dance and play games. Maybe you
consider conversation a waste of time. In
that case, you may meet a lot of us, but
you won't get to know any of us.
We want to be your friends. We want
to know you, and we want you to know
and like us. Don't stand on formality.
Don't hold out for a "proper introduction."
Talk to us, and let us talk to you.
Yes, we like you. We need your friend­ship.
When we leave here, we want to
take with us memories of all the dances,
parties, and social evenings that you have
made possible; but more than that, we
want to take with us memories of friend­ship
and understanding, and memories of
warm, radiant personalities. Those are the
things that are sweetest in the memory of ,
a man who fights a war. Those are the
things that we expect to fight for, and that
we will want to come back to. . . .

Many people wonder why we come to Auburn; to answer
them we will quote a poem by an unknown author named
"Ofkgob." It was written in reply to Dr. George Petrie's ques­tion
"Why did you come to Auburn?"
WHY DID I?
Why did I come to Auburn?
I guess that I don't know.
She hasn't Florida's sunshine
Nor Dartmouth's gleaming snow.
She is no seat of learning
With Harvard's mighty tomes;
She misses Princeton's background,
Yale's cathedral, spires and domes.
Why did I come to Auburn?
I'm sure that I don't know.
Her faculty is but limited,
Her funds are-always low.
She lacks Cayuga's waters
And 'Bama's Rose Bowl teams.
She's what Goldsmith called a village,
Deserted, so it seems.
Why did I come to Auburn?
As something seems to say
You'll live and learn as the weeks go by
And ere long rue the day.
It may be true, sharp doubts have I
And everything seems strange;
The days are long, tradition's strong,
And folks don't seem the same.
Why did I come to Auburn?
That's what I hope to know.
Of the things I've heard (is spirit the word?)
That makes the friendships grow.
There's much to be learned of Auburn
Which time alone will tell,
But until I do, I'll see itl;hrough
With a War Eagle—Give 'Em Hell.

In this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
The unequal treatment ac­corded
the South under the pres­ent
system of freight rates, was
attacked by Governor Ellis Arnall
of Georgia in a recent speech at
the Georgia Press Institute in
Athens, Georgia, which the writer
had the pleasure of attending.
Governor Arnall's speech was
one of the highlights of the pro­gram
of the Georgia Press Insti­tute,
held last week in Athens,
home of the University of Georgia
for the purpose of getting edi­tors
of newspapers all over the
state of Georgia to discuss the
past, present, and future of Geor­gia
journalism.
Distinguished Speakers
A particularly distinguished
company of speakers addressed
the assembled members a nd
guests. - Among them were such
nationally known correspondents
as Robert Considine, of the Inter­national
News Service; J. Norman
Lodge, Associated Press Foreign
Correspondent; and Paul Kern
Lee, Associated Press Foreign
Correspondent.
Political figures who addressed
the assemblage were Governor
Arnall of Georgia, and Governor
Olin D. Johnston of South Car­olina.
Other dignitaries to address the
Institute included such nationally
known figures as Authoress Willie
Snow Ethridge; Cartoonist Milton
Caniff, creator of "Terry and the
Pirates"; Byron Price, United
States Director of Censorship;
and Commander John L. Collis,
USN, Assistant Director of Public
Relations.
The Institute sessions began
with a banquet on Wednesday
evening, February 16, and ended
with a luncheon on Saturday,
February 19. You perhaps won­der,
at least I know I did, how
anybody got a chance to sleep
with such a formidable number
of speeches to listen to in such a
very few days, and with the time
not allotted to speeches in the
Chapel being devoted to Forums,
luncheons, and dinners. The
answer is—they didn't.
Unlimited Cuts
Unlike classes in dear old API,
all those attending the Institute
enjoyed the privilege of unlimited
cuts. Wouldn't you think that
under such a system the speakers
would find themselves talking to
row upon row of empty seats? It
sounds reasonable. Yet attend­ance
at each one of the speeches
and at all the forums and ban­quets
was pretty close to perfect.
In fact, at some of the speeches,
most notably the addresses by
Milton Caniff and Governor Ellis
Arnall, attendance was so good
that people had to be turned
away at the door.
One particularly interesting
feature of the very entertaining
talk by Milton Caniff was magical
appearance of Terry. Not in the
flesh, of course, but on a portable
black board provided for Mr.
Caniff: It was sure a smooth op­eration.
There was just a blank
board to begin with. It was about
as life-like as any other black
board until Mr. Caniff worked on
it for a little while with an ordi­nary
piece of chalk. It isn't the
chalk that counts, I guess, because
I've worked on a blackboard with
an ordinary piece of chalk my­self.
It's what's behind the chalk
that makes the difference. Can-iff's
got it—I haven't.
Confidentially
By ANNE DONALDSON
After five long years the time has now come to leave, to
close up the shop and go out to fight the wars, then win the
peace.
It is a big job for all the young men and women who are
leaving colleges now, but we have faith in them, and feel sure
that they will do their part toward making this world a better
place to live in.
* * *
A lot of things have happened in the past five years,
things which are good to remember. There was the trip by
the whole cadet corps to Birmingham on Armistice Day of
1939 to see the Auburn-Villanova game, and what a game—
Auburn 10, Villanova 9.
Then there was The Plainsman of 1940 and '41. A few
of the older students remember it; how the boys and girls used
to wait outside the office and fight over the first copies. Also
that year was the trip to Boston by a few loyal fans to see a
mighty Auburn team get drubbed, and I do mean drubbed, by
Boston College, 33-7.
In the fall of 1941 came the war* Students quit school to
join the Army and a tense atmosphere prevailed on the campus.
One big highlight-in the fall of 1942. Auburn trounced
and soundly beat the mighty undefeated Georgia Bulldog.
In the spring of 1943 we joined the Army. Enough said.
It has been a happy and gay five years with its moments
of sadness here and there. In the future we will enjoy looking
back on the many fine days we have spent in Auburn, Loveli­est
Village of the Plain.

There must always be a time
before the last time. Since next
Friday is the last time, and there
isn't gonna be one then, this is it.
By Friday, most of you will be
on your way home for a week of
bliss. O Happy You! O Happy
Youth!
This is a time for sorrowing and
rejoicing. Perhaps we should be
ultra-subtle and let it go at that.
Usually, the graduating class
would be told to play the game of
life fair—this year, it will be told
to play it hard.
We may have to play it fast,
too, to get a lot of living into a
short while—but we're getting
morbid.
It would be nice to think that
this would be the last wartime
graduating class of this particular
war. But, that's silly.
We can hope it will be the last
March graduation that is march­ing
to martial tempo—figurative­ly
speaking.
With a goodly number of seni­ors
leaving in March, and the
soldiers leaving in April, and the
Naval Cadets leaving in the near
future, the sailors and the coeds
and 4Fs have a clear field.
' Auburn may even look like a
clear field.

Like dry leaves before a wild
hurricane fly, not only do Santa
Clause's reindeer go up to the
housetops, but also we who go
will be somewhat dispersed over
on area slightly larger than ye
olde United States.
Do not doubt but that the name
of Auburn and its dear (sob)
traditions will (sob) go along with
us.
This is War. Lots of things are
vastly different. But, let's you all
keep Auburn kicking, and we can
come back (sob) some brighter
day to a brighter Auburn un-dulled
(if that isn't a word it
oughta be) by khaki and O. D.
and toned down from national
patriotism to War Eagle patriot-
Everybody coming out? You
should. Saturday night at 8 the
Glee Clubs, girls and ASTP, are
concerting in Langdon for an
hour. It's free for nothing, and we
think you'll like the selections.
I wish I had a headline to write.
When the Ordeal can take out a
spot, that's news—when they can
• take out a fountain pen, spot and
all, that's headlines!

Apologies to the certain sec­tion
in Company 2, ASTP, who
think that the writer should speak
of their cheatin' arrangely only
in sublimated and complimentary
terms.
It's too bad you boys don't
have longer to make use of your
infallible arrangement.

It seems that one juicy coed
was caught with 22 forged ab­sence
excuses. Perhaps we hap­pened
to hit on the subject about
the time the Powers That Be de­cided
to make hay.

G'bye now! We wish we could
say, "Be back next week!"
It's been (sob) nice, knowing

"Pee Wee" Latner
Is Six Feet Five
By Audrey Wilson
If you have ever been down at
the USO after 8:30 most any
night and noticed the tallest,
lankiest AST there who was play­ing
bridge, then you know who
Sandy Latner is.
Many students know him as
"Pee Wee" in the Varsity Show
which was sponsored by the
ASTs. "Pee Wee" was originated
to "fill in the gaps" in the show,
but he monopolized the audience's
attention for two hours by merely
contorting himself into weird po­sitions
with no props except a
sofa and a magazine.
Standing a neat six feet five
inches and a shade in his sock
feet and no fudging, Latner, an
AST in Company One from Long
Island, New York who is taking
engineering at API, by an unof­ficial
poll, is probably the most
well known of all the ASTs at
Auburn.
Sandy, doubbed "High Pockets"
by Coach Evans in P.E., was a
sophomore in Chemical Engineer­ing
at the University of Cinnci-natti
before entering the army in
May, 1943.
About the tallest thing around
on the biggest feet, Latner is
well liked by the boys in the bar­racks.
He has an infectious sense
of humor and a personality that
grins at you.
Sandy attributes his wide cir­cle
of acquaintances and friends
to his "good memory for names
and pretty faces." He has set up
a one man date bureau for the
purpose of getting his pals dates
for Company One's dance this
weekend, and judging from the
large number of girls who seem
to know him but quite well, the
bureau should do a thriving busi­ness.

Mrs. Burke King.
At the close of the dance, the
entire group sang college songs.

A Wolfess For Life
Says Third Pig Of Wife
The Pig Who Cometh Out On Top
Is He Who Can The Wolfess Stop
By Mimi Simms
Once upon a time there were three little pigs who went
out into the world to seek their fortunes. Before they left
home, their father took them aside and warned them about
wolfesses.
"Just look what happened to me," he said. "I didn't jump
quick enough, and your mother caught me. Now I'm just a
big hog!"
Mindful of their father's advice,
the little pigs went on their
merry way.
Meet Number One
The first little pig became a
confirmed bachelor, and, after
amassing a small fortune, he set­tled
down in a lovely straw cot­tage.
Soon a wolfess came along, saw
his bankroll, and turned on the
charm. "If you won't marry me,"
she told him, "I'll huff and I'll
puff and I'll cause a crash that
will put you out of business."
So the little pig lost his shirt
when he refused. But the wolfess
just laughed. That much money
wasn't worth wasting my time
and talents on, she hissed.
Enter Number Two
Now the second little pig prof­ited
by his brother's experience
and left the girls strictly alone.
He settled down in a wood man­sion
after amassing a medium
sized fortune.
One night the wolfess appeared.
He tried to act like the butler,
but she saw through him the way
superman does. Then she be­came
most alluring, but the little
pig refused to fall. "If you don't
marry me," she threatened, "I'll
huff and I'll puff and I'll start
spreading malicious r u m o rs
about you that will ruin your
business."
The wolfess just laughed when
the little pig went broke. "That
much money wasn't worth wast­ing
my time and talents on," she
hissed.
Number Three Appears
Now the third little pig had an
eye for business and was a keen
looker, too. So he amassed a
huge fortune in no time and built
himself an enormous castle of
brick.
He kept quiet when the wolfess
appeared at his door. "Will you
marry me or will you marry
me?" she asked. "Now, listen,
bub, I huffed and I puffed and I
put your two brothers in the
poorhouse, and I can put you
there, too. So—"
"Well, since you asked me
first," said the third little pig re­membering,
what had happened to
his brothers, "I guess I'll play
ball with you."
So they had a lovely wedding
and the wolfess just laughed. "I
knew I'd get a sucker with lots of
dough," she hissed. "The other
brothers were just for practice."
WOE UNTO MEN IN SCOTLAND;
LEAP YEAR LEGALIZED THERE
By Van Hemeri
The custom of theoretically
letting the girls propose to the
boys every fourth year is the
subject for many a* corny joke
here in the United States, but
some 650 years ago irf Scotland
it was a very serious affair in­deed.
In fact, the custom was
legalized. It was against the law
for a man to turn a girl down
unless he was already betrothed
to another. It was a choice be­tween
matrimony and a good stiff
fine.
Which arouses doubt as to
whether the good old Sctoch
custom of men wearing kilts was
not less of a custom than it was
a camouflage. At a distance a
man in a kilt looks almost the
same as a woman, so perhaps the
harried Scotch males donned
them merely in preference to
the old ball and chain.
•MHM
KEEP 'EM aYlNG
^^^tJk^^SicUnfU
Scotch women apparently en­joyed
much success at this game,
for a few years later a law of the
same nature was passed in
France.
Julius Ceasar authorized the
astronomers of Rome to settle the
solar year at 365 days and 6 hours
in the year 46 A. D. In four years
these six hour additions had ac­cumulated
to one day which, it
was decided, would be added to
the fourth year. When the/Romans
added the day they settled the
difficulty of having to revise their
calendars in regard to the names
of the days by calling two days
by the same name.
The designation "leap-year,"
which we attach to each fourth
year, does not refer to what a
man will do over a cliff to get
away from a woman, but to the
curious fact presumably noted by
some unknown Englishmen, that
the calendar "takes a leap" every
four years.
Comicstrip - reading kiddies
shouldn't believe this because
their widdle minds might get
curious about the similarity of
betwen the custom of leap year
and the goings on in Dogpatch on
Sadie Hawkins day, and thereby
lose faith in comic strip heroes.
Which means they might no
longer care whether or not Dick
Tracy catches Flat Top. Then
what would we have, a kiddie-krime-
wave?
Married Coeds
Tell How To
Get That Man
Confessing only on the condi­tion
that they remain anonymous,
three married girl students con­tributed
the following hints to
you unmarried girls on how to
make that man propose:
One explained that after she
met the man she thought should
be her husband, she made herself
as devoid of definite personality
as possible until she managed to
find out the qualities he liked
and wanted in a girl. Then she
promptly fitted herself to these
characteristics, convinced h im
that she was "The Ideal" he'd
been dreaming about, possessing,
amazingly enough, all of his fav­orite
qualities.
"Jealousy may break up happy
homes," said one coed, "but
sometimes it helps to start one."
She explains that if the male in
question seems a little reticent
about making up his mind and
popping the question, the thing
to do is subtly, very subtly, drop
the hint that your plans are to
marry someone else. He'll make
up his mind, and in a hurry. But
remember the emphasis is on that
word "subtle."
"My idea was too finagle him
into it by dressing in his favorite
color, maneuvering us into a very
romantic spot—you know, moon­light,
soft music, etc.—and then
the rest would be easy," remin­isced
one girl. "But it really
didn't happen that way at all,"
she hastened to add. "We were
walking down the street in Opel-ika,
it was pouring rain, and my
hair looked terrible, but he pro­posed.
I guess it just must have
been my fatal charm."
Yes, It's Awfully
Pretty, Just What
I'd Want, But—
Every day at noon the young
lady went into the jewelry store
on her way to lunch. The jew­eler
showed her all his rings,
but each time she decided she
liked the one with fifteen small
diamonds and a large diamond
on a platinum band.
It was the most expensive ring
in the showcase and each time
she looked at it he tried to sell
it to her. "I'll have to get Bill's
approval first," she said.
One day she appeared later
than usual, but this time she had
a soldier on her arm.
The jeweler beamed. The
sale was practically made.
They went straight to the ring
counter and she pointed out her
favorite.
"No," he said after a moment
of thought, "I don't think my
brother Bill could afford it."
Then he added as an after­thought,
"It is kinda nice,
though."

HERE'S INSIDE DOPE
ON MISS CINDERELLA
Sometimes It's Better To Be An Early
Bird Than A Glow-Worm, Dontcha Know
By Dottie Woodall
Once upon a New Year's Eve it was Leap Year. Every
maiden whose Leap Year campaign had met with success
looked forward to the new year with eagerness, but those who
must' still get their man before the stroke of twelve ended
their quadratic year of privilege had a feeling of fighting
against time.
THAT YEAR IS HERE AGAIN, BOYS,
AND WOMEN AREN'T TO BE TRUSTED
By Daniel Monroe
I don't trust women, but that's
because I don't understand them.
I never have, and I'll frankly
admit that. But with the logical
male approach to an illogical sub­ject,
I have found it easy to group
all women into four genesal
classifications. Any woman will
invariably fall into one of these
four orders, and so, for the bene­fit
of my fellow men who find
themselves besieged by diligent
females this leap year, I am re­leasing
tnis bit of datum from
my personal archives.
It Used To Be "Goldie"
The first of these types is the
one most commonly f o u nd
throughout the world and we
shall designate her as Miss "A".
She is strictly out for a good time
and sentiment never enters into
her life—if she can avoid it. She
wants to go places and to see
things. The lug that rates her
never seems to realize it, but he's
a sucker and she is willing to play
for all he's worth. He may own
a classy Ford convertible, but
she'll trade him off any day for a
Cadillac at the wink of an eye.
A generation ago she would
have been called a "gold-digger,"
but there are so many in her
group now, that there's no one
left to do any name calling. Un­derneath
the may have a heart
of gold, but the only apparent
genuine glitter about her is the
Have a Coca-Cola =Muchas felicidades
(MANY CONGRATULATIONS)
gold in her teeth. Miss "A" is
really a charming aijd entertain­ing
companion, please don't mis­understand
me. But if you want
a date, be sure to tell her what
the big occasion Friday night is
before you ask if she's going to
be studying for a Saturday quiz.
Miss "A" is not to be trusted.
Love, Love, Love
Miss "B" heads the second
classification. She is the "I'am-our,
toujours l'amour" type. You
will be able to recognize her
easily on the street by her greet­ing,
"Oh, Sugar, you old darling!
Where have you been hiding
your sweet self lately?" And if
you are an average male, you
will try to spot the nearest sewer
in your vicinity and beat a hasty
retreat.
Miss "B's" middle name is love.
She loves the trees. She loves
the rain. She loves people. She
LOVES men. And she loves to
spend her life bouncing from the
arms of one man into the waiting
arms of another. At forty-five
she's still bouncing.
And No Letting Go Till
It Thunders
The "sympathetic type" whose
general line starts with ". . . why
you poor dear boy," is Miss "C".
Your father would have called
her a "clinging vine." She re­gards
all men as being nothing
more than "grown up little boys."
And unless you're careful, she
may convince you that you are.
There's nothing that delights her
more than the opportunity of
feeling sorry for her dear, dear
little boy. Sympathy is her dish,
and before the evening is up,
she has you convinced that she's
the only one in the world that
has ever understood you.
If you see her again, Brother,
you're sunk. Because in the sec­ond
round she usually resorts to
baby talk such as, ". . . 'ow wis
de uddy buddy boysee woysee
toonight?" If you are still on your
feet by this time, you'd better
start running.
The Dangerous Miss "D"
Of them all, Miss "D" is the
most dangerous, and for that
reason I have left her until last.
No one can escape from Miss "D"
without the aid of Jupiter and
all the other gods on Mount Olym­pus.
I did know of one case that
slipped from the hands of Calyp­so,
but the lucky fellow was both
deaf and blind.
Miss "D" takes a great deal
for granted. She considers that
when a man asks her for a date,
that that's a proposal within it­self.
And so does her mother,
who, as you leave the house, usu­ally
echos something such as,
" . . . and you will bring our lit­tle
precious back early, won't
you?" And you will too. And
thank your lucky stars if you
get home alive yourself.
It is Miss "D" who leads a
beautiful friendship into the pit­falls
of marriage. She always fol­lows
one simple little scheme that
has been handed down careful­ly
since the beginning of time. . .
. and which has never been
known to fail. Eve must have
found the secret in the garden
and carried it away with her—
flattery. Yes, we men are suck­ers
for flattery. And the more
she pours it on, the better we
like it. A man hasn't half a
chance against flattery, and no
Of these last the most discon­solate
in the whole kingdom was
Cinderella, the little charmaid.
As she sat by the chimney in her
father's kitchen, she wept bitter­ly.
Indeed, her plight seemed
hopeless. Other girls could call
on friends, rich clothing, gaity,
and every device at their disposal.
Cinderella had only her beauty
which was scarcely apparent in
the obscure corner where she was
forced to spend her days. But as
she was weeping, there suddenly
appeared at her side her fairy
godmother.
"Why are you weeping, my
child?" she asked.
Last Chance
"This is the last night of leap
year and I have no chance at all
of ever marrying Prince Charm­ing
now. My cruel stepsisters are
going to the New Year's ball at
the palace, and one of them will
surely see him before the clock
strikes twelve. But I cannot go."
"Oh, yes, you can. You will go
to that ball and you will have
your chance to marry Prince
Charming."
"But how, Godmother?" she
said, "I have only these rags I
have on, and I cannot go to the
palace unless I am dressed like
the others there."
Problems Solved
"Don't worry about a thing,
Cinderella, what do you think I
carry this magic wand around
for?" No sooner had she spoken
these words than she began pull­ing
out her little bag of tricks—
you know all that stuff involving
pumpkins into coaches, mice into
horses, and breakable footwear.
So Cinderella went to the ball.
However, her sisters went, too,
and as soon as they saw Cinder­ella
they knew her fairy god­mother
had been around the
house that day.
"Sister, didn't you put out that
new fairy-killer powder when I
told you to?" asked Cruel Step­sister,
No. One.
"I certainly did!" replied Cruel
Stepsister, No. Two, indignantly.
But It Didn't Work
"I can't unflerstand it. The label
distinctly said that if we were
troubled with fairies all that we
needed to do was just freely
sprinkle around the floors." And
Cinderella j u s t laughed and
laughed when she heard them, for
she knew the fairy godmother
hadn't been on the floor at all,
but on the shelf.
Since Cinderella was by far the
most beautiful girl present Prince
Charming accidently on purpose
gravitated in her general direc­tion,
and soon she found that he
was seated beside her. From this
point on everything might have
worked itself out beautifully, ex­cept
for the fact that Cinderella,
having spent her days among the
ashes found it hard to kindle a
flame. So she took too much
time.
Too Late
It was not until after Cruel
Stepsister, No. Two had come up
on the other side and asked him
to marry her, that Cinderella got
around to proposing to him her­self.
Poor Prince^Charming was
in despair. He had fallen in love
with Cinderella, but the law re­quired
him to marry the first one
who asked him. So Cruel Step­sister
No. Two married Prince
Charming and all three lived un­happily
ever after.
one knows that any better than
Miss "D". Men, beware!
Women are unfathomable my­steries
to me. They always have
been and I am sure that they al­ways
will be. I repeat, and with
some experience and wisdom, you
can't trust a woman!
Men Will Not
Admit Women
Roped 'Em In
By Irene Long
In spite of all the kidding about
leap year, I have no faith in it.
I've asked practically every mar­ried
man on the campus if his
wife proposed to him, but not one
would say any woman roped him
in. There was also a certain re­ticence
to admit romanticism on
their part. "We were riding when
asked my wife," said one, "and
she nearly wrecked the car, she
she grabbed me around the neck
so quickly."
Pfc. Austin Judd of San Diego,
who works in the military office
at API, did not get married dur­ing
leap year, but his wife was
won by correspondence. He met
Miss Ruth Sevey of Phoenix,
Ariz, at a young people's conven­tion
in 1940 and said he loved
her from the start. Between that
time and their wedding day two
and one-half years later, he only
saw her four times. "People re­veal
more of themselves than
they realize when they write,"
he said, "and we knew each other
pretty well by the time she fin­ally
said 'yes'." He said he ans­wered
her letters the day he re­ceived
them, but she often waited
a month, not intending to write
at all. Now she is glad she did.
Pete Turnham, senior in Agri­culture
from Abanda, said the
house mother at Dormitory III
got tired of seeing him around
and told him to move in or move
his girl out, she was Nettye
Kathryn Rice, Birmingham, jun­ior

I had persuaded my girl to be­come
my wife." He says it's

Radioman Lives
After Sinking
Sailor Honce Is
Among 17 Survivors
Of Torpedoing
By Irene Long
Radioman Third Class James
Francis Honce, of Clarksburg,
W. Va., who trained at the Naval
Radio School here, is one of the 17
survivors of the sinking in the
Gulf of Salerno of the mine-layer,
USS Skill. He has seen duty in
the American theater of opera­tions,
in the European-Africa-
Middle East campaign, in the
North Atlantic patrol, and patrol
duty off the African coast and
the initial attacks on Sicily and
Italy. He has been awarded the
Purple Heart.
"A Suicide Job"
"It was just a suicide job," he
said, referring to minelaying. "We
«jad little protection against .at­tacks
and we never knew what
minute we were going to get
blown up. The day we were hit,
I never did hear the explosion. I
was in the radio room, leaning
over my equipment, when the
thing went off. I felt the floors
pick me up. The next thing I
knew I was blown clear through
the bulkhead and landed on the
deck 30 feet away, almost com­pletely
blacked out."
Honce was picked up and car­ried
to a raft with 11 oth4r men,
and the raft was only 100 yards
away when the burning ship
went down. He said that all of
the survivors would have burned
alive if the force of the explosions
which followed hadn't blown all
the flames off the water."
Attended Salem College
Honce, before entering the
Navy, attended Salem College,
where he received honors in ath­letics.
He played baseball in the
Clarksburg industrial l e a g u e.
Honce wants to finish college aft­er
the war.
SAD LETTER
GOES TO 'MOM'
FROM 'HOWIE'
Auburn, Alabama
February 20, 1944
Dear Mom,
There's a notice on the bulle­tin
board announcing that the
AST program will be reduced
from about 140,00 to 30,000 stu­dents
on April 1. You have
probably read the same thing in
the local paper by now and are
wondering if that affects me. It
surely does.
It means that half, or maybe
more, of us here at API will be
transferred back into regular
Army outfits—mostly to the In­fantry.
A lot of us have applied
for Aviation Cadet examinations,
which will permit us to go into
the Aviation Cadet Training
Program if we pass. I've applied
for the exam, Mom—you know
how much I've always wanted
to fly. It will mean more school,
and I believe that I can make
the grade all right. I want you
to feel good about it, too.
Colonel Waterman is going to
let us go over to Montgomery to
take the exam before the end of
this term. If we pass, we stay
at Auburn 'till the end of the
term and then go to the Army
Air Forces.
Closing the program is a tough
break for the boys who are real­ly
serious about their work—a
lot of 'em would make good en­gineers
if given a chance to finish
their training. But at least they
have been able to get college
training and credits which they
can use after the fighting is
over. '
Two of my roommates are
planning to attend college with
me when we get back. Dad said
that he wanted me to get my de­gree
even though I go to work
for him—and I probably couldn't
get the kind of a job I want with
anyone else without a degree.
So, don't worry about my not
finishing college. I'm lucky to
have been able to stay in school
this long, and there will be a
chance for us to go back after
the fighting is finished.
That's all for tonight, Mom.
Love to you and Sis.

Top Kick Is
Usually Rough
And Tough Guy
Claim That First-
Sergeants Are Human
Is Probably False
By Pvt. Bob Chisholm
Perhaps the most disliked, yet
most necessary man in the Army
is the top sergeant. To the men
in the ranks he is the rough,
tough, fearless ogre who rules
every minute of the poor private's
day. He gives out details right
and left, nothing escaping his
eagle eye. Assigning men to KP
is the joy of his life.
Top "Kick" Runs Things
To the company commander
the top sergeant is really "tops."
He does the paper work of the
company, runs things in general,
handles most of the enlisted men's
complaints, takes care of the
many, many problems that come
up in the company daily, and
takes many worries off the com­mander's
mind.
Every soldier has his own men­tal
picture of all first sergeants,
But actually he is a man who will
approach middle age in the near
future. His face is lined from the
worries which he has had, red
from the sun, stern from the dis­cipline
he has meted out. His
figure has begun to spread in
places from too much office work
and not enough exercise. His
feet have become soft from rest­ing
on too many desks. His voice
is loud and even when he whis­pers
he will wake up some sleep­ing
child in the next county.
"Some" Are Good Men
Most of the tops are good men,
though, and will really give you
help when you need it. At times
they prove they are human under
the skin by a friendly word or
kind gesture. They will pat you
on the back by way of encourage­ment
one moment and work you
to death the next. They are
really very, very kind.
Their job is tough, though, and
they do deserve a lot of credit. A
company with a good first ser­geant
is a good company and runs
smoothly. Today there are many
high ranking officers - who will
readily admit that good top ser­geants
have helped them get
where they are today.
So, here's to the first sergeant,
a good man to have around when
the going gets tough.

Hidden Ball Trick Worked
First At Auburn In 1895
6TH COMPANY IS
MOVED BACK TO
AST BARRACKS
The 6th Company no longer ex­ists.
It was incorporated into the
4th Company, AST, as Section 10,
on Saturday, February 19.
Thirty-five former A u b u rn
ROTC students—12 privates first
class and 23 privates—who were
housed in boarding houses for
several months have been ordered
back to the AST barracks located
in the former women's dormitory
area.
These soldier-students were in­ducted
into the Army in April,
1943, being returned to Auburn
to complete the spring quarter's
scholastic work. In June, some of
this group began officer training

Claim Of Carlisle
Indians Refuted
By Former API Star
By Pvt. John H. Thomas
"The world's first hidden ball
trick was worked by Reynolds
("Tich") Tichenor and W. M.
("Billy") Williams, football stars
at Auburn in 1895, according to
the latter, who recalls the play.
"The first hidden football trick
is said by many scribes to have
been pulled by the Carlisle In­dians,"
Williams s a i d . "Glen
Warner, who was coaching the
Indians, worked the trick suc­cessfully
two years after Auburn
had accomplished the feat."
Ball Hidden Under Jersey
"The first time a football was
actually hidden under a player's
jersey and that player got away
for a touchdown was in 1895 on
Vanderbilt's campus in Nash­ville.
I was playing left half for
Auburn, and Tichenor was quar­terback.
We were on Vandy's
15-yard line and had the ball in
our possession. "Tich" passed the
ball to me. I raised his jersey
and hid the pigskin under it, at
the same time dashing toward
Sill, Oklahoma. Others returned
to API, being allowed to complete
requirements for graduation
while waiting for OCS openings.
our right end, protected by sev­eral
members of the Auburn
team."
"The Vandy team thought I
had the ball and came after me.
"Tich" just casually slipped off
around his own left end and went
over the Commodore goal line.
The first opportunity the Vandy
players had of seeing the ball was
when they saw him pulling the
ball from under his jersey."
Warner Sees Play
"Glenn Warner, Georgia coach
at that time, saw the play. Later
Warner went to Carlisle and in
his first year there a Carlisle
player successfully duplicated
the feat."
"Of course, back in '95, South­ern
football received very little
attention, and that was why
Carlisle got credit for the first
successful attempt. The first hid­den
ball trick was the child of
Coach J. W. Heisman's brain."
Dr. Heisman was Auburn's head
coach from 1895 to 1899. Under
his guiding hand the Tigers won
every game but six, of which one
was a tie.
The Heisman Trophy, the cov­eted
award given annually to the
most outstanding collegiate foot­ball
player, is named in honor of
API's great coach.

Interfraternity Cage
Finals Are Torhorrow
OTS, Sigma Chi To Meet In Semi-final
Today; Winner Will Play Alpha Psi
By Ralph Ownby
OTS and Sigma Chi will tangle tonight in the second semi­final
game in the elimination playoffs of the interfraternity
basketball tournament. The winner of tonight's tilt will meet
the Alpha Psi tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock for the in­terfraternity
championship.
Alpha Psi stepped into the finals by virtue of their wfn
over the Kappa Sigs in the first
semi-final Wednesday. Earlier in
the week, the Kappa Sigs sub­dued
the Alpha Gamma Rho and
the Alpha Psi turned back the
SPE to win their respective
leagues. OTS won League II by a
victory over Phi Delta Theta, and
Sigma Chi came out on top of the
League III heap by a close win
over SAE.
Kappa Sigma, sparked by In­gram's
18 points, upset Alpha
Gamma Rho 25-18 in the only
game Monday night. Weakened
by the loss of three key players,
Alpha Gamma Rho was unable
to unleash the scoring power
shown earlier in the season. The
teamwork and tight defense of
the Kappa Sigs was a major fac­tor
in their victory. Ingram was
the high scorer of the game. Beat­en
previously by the Alpha Gam­ma
Rho 39-16, the Kappa Sigs
came from second place to win
League I.
Sigma Chi edged SAE 26-20 in
an overtime period in the first
game Tuesday. Sigma Chi lead
at the half 14-12, but a field goal
by Wilbur of the SAE deadlock­ed
the game a short time before
the final whistle. Sigma Chi com­pletely
dominated scoring in the
overtime. Bidez took the tip-off
and scored, and this goal, cou­pled
with baskets by Barefield
and Johnson made the final 26-
20.
OTS, led by Peace and Lan­caster,
clipped the Phi Delta
Thetas to the tune of 39-16 in the
second game Tuesday night. The
OTS led all the way. Increasing
a 11-4 first quarter advantage to
25-10 at the half, OTS bolstered
this lead to 35,12 in the third pe­riod,
and 39-16 at the game's end.
Bill Peace scored 21 points in the
three periods that he played to
lead the scoring department.
Alpha Psi pulled ahead in the
final moments of Tuesday's last
game to down SPE in a hotly-contested
battle. SPE lead 5-1 in
the first frame, and 9-7 at the
half, but in the third quarter Al­pha
Psi surged ahead and led at
the end of that quarter 17-11. It
was nip and tuck in the final pe­riod,
but the Alpha Psis main­tained
their advantage and scored
three quick goals to make the fi­nal
score 29-19. Smalley was high
man with 12 points for Alpha
Psi. Champion and Humphrey
rang up 7 and 6 respectively for
the SPEs.
The Alpha Psi chalked up their
second ten-point win of the week
in trimming the Kappa Sigs 36-26
in the semi-final game Wednes­day
night. Brown, of the Kappa
Sigs, looped 12 points to be high
scorer, and Ashley, Williams, and
Taylor made 6 each for Alpha Psi.
Alpha Psi, as winner of this game,
earned the right to play the win­ner
of the OTS-Sigma Chi con­test
in the finals tomorrow.

Team 4 of Company I Downs Team 2 of
Company III in Tournament Finals
The 4th team of the 1st Company tripped the 3rd Com­pany's
2nd team Wednesday night to clinch the title in the
AST basketball tournament. Wednesday's win made six vic­tories
against no defeats in the tournament for the 1st Com­pany
team.
Tight zone defenses by both teams curtailed scoring in the
game. Each team made only one
SOPRANO
(Continued from Page 1)
After graduation she went to
New York to continue more se­rious
study of music, working in
musical comedy, singing in
churches, and filling in as a non-paid
guest on the radio. Then
came the days when she worked
in trios on the air. At one time
she worked on four different pro­grams
a week. Through the Fire­stone
Chorus she became a solo­ist
on one of the most distin­guished
programs on the air.
Mr. Thibault studied voice at
Curtis Institute of Music, Phila­delphia,
after winning a five-year
scholarship to that school. From
there, he too, like Margaret
Speaks, went to New York to
make a name for himself as a
singer.
His first job in New York, how­ever,
was as a department store
floorwalker, and it was not until
he returned to Curtis that his
big opportunity came.
He was singing secondary parts
with the Philadelphia Grand Op­era
Company when the leading
baritone of the company fell ill.
With only an hour to go till cur­tain
time, the management cast
about frantically for someone to
sing Sebastiano in Eugen d'Al-bert's
"Wiefland," but without
success. Young Thibault said he
knew the role, and with some
misgiving, they let him have it.
AlChE Men See Film,
Make Plans For Quarter
A film on "Nickel and Nickel
Alloys" was shown at the regular
meeting of AIChE Monday night.
AIChE meet every two weeks in
Ross Chemical Building. During
the past quarter talks, discussions,
and films have featured various
phases of chemical industries. A
schedule of interesting programs
and films is now being made for
the next quarter.
The present enrollment of
AIChE is 54. The first meeting of
the spring quarter will be Mon­day
night, March 13.
They weren't sorry. He received
an ovation—and, of course, other
important roles followed this ini­tial
success.
Since that time Conrad Thi-bault's
upward climb has been
strong and steady, and today he
is known throughout the country
as an outstanding concert bari­tone,
having been the star of such
big commercial shows as Max­well
House "Showboat," Coca-
Cola', A & P Gypsies, Phillip Mor­ris,
Lucky Strike, RCA-Victor's
"Magic Key," Packard, the Am­erican
Melody Hour, Manhattan
Merry-Go-Round, and others.
Tickets for the concert will go
on sale Monday at the News Bu­reau
in Samford Hall and at Lof-tin's
Music Co. Prices for stu­dents
with activity cards are $.55.
All others are $1.15.
field goal in the first period to
make the count 2-2 at the end
of that frame. The 1st Company
edged ahead in the second quar­ter
to lead 9-6 at the half. The
score at the end of the third quar­ter
was 16-10, in favor of the 1st
Company team.
Tootle, of the 1st Company,
rang up 11 points to be high point
man. Ristine and Singer made 4
each for the 3rd Company.
The 1st Company's 4th team
had the best record at the end of
the season, with six wins, two
games forfeited to them, and no
defeats. In second place came
Team 2 of the 3rd with six games

Players participating in Wed­nesday

for the third company, Kiely,
