Want To Be Permanent WAVE? Sherman Comes South a TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT' VOLUME LXVIII ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1943 NUMBER 10 Allen Explains Sports Status Football Plans Laid Aside Until The Bigger Game Is Won Dean Roger Allen, chairman of the faculty athletic commission, has released the following statement concerning intercollegiate athletics: "The recent decision to drop intercollegiate football at^API for the duration was teluctantly made by President Duncan upon the unanimous recommendation of the faculty athletic commission/ the executive council, and prominenti' alumni, Jong been associated with Auburn athletics, who urged similar action.' Some of the factors influencing this decision follow: The entire football?:; coaching staff is in the Army^Ohly one member of last yea#s football squad is on hand. Thev, Army shows no disposition to modify its decision that college trainees are not eligible for intercollegiate competition. Auburn's 1943 squad would have to be composed of 17 to 18 year old boys and those classified in 4-F or 2-A. Without the advantage of spring or summer practice under the direction of an able coaching staff it would be impossible to build a team in the fall that could offer reasonable competition to those having the services of avy trainees or those still retaining their coaching staffs. Unsuccessful efforts were made to borrow the services of head coaches from other Southeastern Conference colleges that have suspend-d athletics. The majority of the SEC members have been faced with similar, considerations and have elected to drop football. Those fortunate enough to have coaching facilities and eligible players are in the minority. (Continued on Page 4} SHERMAN ROGERS FINDS SOUTH FREE OF COMMUNISM, FACISM By Jay Green Sherman Rogers, editor, speaker, and economist, who now lives' in Auburn, has just been honored by the Reader's Digest with the third republication of his prize-winning article on labor relations. Mr. Rogers was a Pacific Coast lumberjack, hard rock miner, sailor, cowpuncher, and Alaskan dog team driver before he became associate editor of the Outlook Magazine in 1919 following ex-president Theodore Roosevelt. The Editor has written for Red Book Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, The Farm Journal, Leslies, and was for several years associate editor of Liberty Magazine. Mr. Rogers has written feature articles for the New York World, The New York Evening Post, The Philadelphia Public Ledger, The Birmingham News, and The Charlotte Observer. Asked by your reporter his reason for coming South, Mr. Rogers replied to the question quickly and definitely: "I do not like either Communism or Fac-ism— and the South is the only part of the entire world practically free of both elements." "Our particular reason for coming to Auburn," the Editor quickly added, "was for the fact that the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is the one thoroughly 100% American faculty and student body we could find anywhere in the United States — and we had made a careful) investigation of many nothern and western colleges. Mr. Rogers hastened to add, "I have travelled over all southern states and looked over 54 southern industrial- cities- and towns. In the many months spent on this investigation I did not encounter a single Communist or Facist and I feel I am safe in "Si, SI, WE LIKE COLLEGE IN THE UNITED STATES" By Mimi Simms Co-incidence brought good neighbors Sebastian Romero, of Caracas, Venezuela, and Ricardo Leon, of Sonora, Mexico, together in Auburn. Both visiting the United States on Soil Conservation Service fellowships, they met for the first time here. These fellowships, given by the United States Department of Agriculture to the outstanding graduates of Latin American universities, include one year of intensive training in soil conservation. Sebastian Romero has been in the United States five months. Most of this time he has spent working on soil problems in .Florida. He plans to visit Washington and the western part of our country. Ricardo Leon has spent ten months in the Far West. He expects to visit the northern part of the United States before returning to Mexico. A graduate of Liceo Andres Bello, a high school, and Central University of Venezuela, Sebastian is an agronomist. Both his high school and university are coeducational; most of the girls study the professions—law, pharmacy, medicine, or engineering. One has even ventured into agriculture. Student organizations abound on the campus and conferences play an important part in college life. Although there are few who attempt to jitterbug, dancing is popular, as are picnics, parties, and fiestas. College sports, of which baseball is undoubtedly the favorite, include track, tennis, soccer, basketball and boxing. The National School of Agriculture in Chapingo, State of Mexico, where Ricardo graduated, is very different. No girls are enrolled. It is a 'government school and scholarships mus-t be won to be admitted. Three years of preparatory school and four years of college are offered with all expenses paid. It is not unusual to take twelve or fourteen subjects a year in preparatory school and one year Ricardo took sixteen! Everyone takes military training and upon graduation each receives the rank of first lieutenant in the Mexican Army. Intercollegiate sports are popular and there is much rivalry between schools. From Saturday noon to Monday morning is "free" time} then the girls come for dances and fiestas. American movies, in English, as well as well as Mexican and Argentian movies in Spanish, are favorites. As good will ambassadors, these typical college graduates of last year's classes, made lasting impressions on everyone they met. If we or North America could meet more Latin Americans like these, the good neighbor policy would be more firmly fashioned. saying the South is the most desirable place on earth to live in. This's why we~are here and it's why we intend to stay here." Like Warbling?

Mary Askew, director of the Service Center in Auburn has asked the various women's organizations on the campus to cooperate with her by sending eight to ten of their members one night a week to the USO Center and one night a week to the Student Center. The women have responded very favorably to this request and every night finds a number of girls on their way to each of these places to help entertain the servicemen. The typical Auburn spirit of cooperation is present in -this, as in all similar enterprises to aid the war effort. The organizations represented in this entertainment drive include Cardinal Key, Sphinx, Owls, Theta Epsilon, Women's Athletic Association, and Women's Student Government Association. "What's In A Name?" Headquarters Asks "What's in a name?" National Headquarters advised Arkansas State Headquarters of a notice from the Canadian Legation that said that Jimmie Cleda Brady, who had been enrolled in the Royal Canadian Air Force, had been separated from the Air Forces "because his services were no longer required." Back came a note from Maj. Lee V. Casey, of Arkansas State Headquarters, with an enclosure from Local Board A, Garland County, Ark., which read in part: "We beg to advise you that this person is the wife of our registrant, James Edwin Brady, who was formerly a member of the Flying Tigers, American Voluntary Group. Mrs. Jimmie Cleda Brady was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force at the time her husband was a member of the Flying Tigers stationed in China." AVMA Elects Officers Ray Grant, junior in veterinary medicine, has been elected new president of AVMA, veterinary organization, at its last meeting. Other officers chosen are Douglas Nettles, vice-president; Shannon Hollinger, secretary; Irven Cooper, treasurer.

Two men in khaki out strolling last Saturday evening were approached by one of our zealous Second Lieutenants in front of the Auburn Grille. One of the men passed the officer's casual inspection with flying colors, but the other was reminded of the old army customs of shined shoes, sleeves not rolled to the elbows, the wearing of neckties after retreat, the regulation governing the wearing of the overseas cap, and the age old custom of saluting. "BUT I'M A CIVILIAN!" said the second man. "Oh," said the lieutenant.

Refreshments will be served at i n c l u sion of activities. WAVES Inaugerate Recruiting Drive Local Program Under B'ham Direction; Auburn's Quota Given As Eight Women A WAVE recruiting party will be at the postoffice in Auburn on Saturday, July 17, from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m. for the purpose of interviewing and furnishing information to Women who desire to serve their country by enlisting in the WAVES. Robert E. Smith, at Burton's Book Store is in charge of assigning appointments and women who desire to make an appointment should contact him at once. Serving on the local committee, whose job is to assist in any way the recruiters and in- Petrie, Duncan Welcome ASTPs "It is your privilege and duty to carry on the tradition of manhood, honesty, good sportsmanship, and fine fellowship at Auburn," said Dr. George Petrie, former dean of the graduate school and coach of Auburn's first football team, in a talk at the convocation program which was part of the orientation program for the 440 men who will begin classes Monday at Auburn under the Army Specialized Training Program course in basic engineering. Col. John J. Waterman, commandant of all Army groups on the campus, presided over the meeting. After a few welcoming remarks he introduced Dr. L. N. Duncan, president of Auburn. Dr. Duncan told of Auburn's record in national defense, bringing out that one of the main reasons for the creation of the college was for this purpose. He cautioned the boys not to say Alabama Polytechnic Institute but to learn to use the familiar "Auburn." Dr. Petrie addressed the ASTP men as "students of Auburn." He said that two of the most important events in life were the choosing of a wife—"if you do the choosing"—and the choosing of a college—"if you do the choosing." He described Auburn as a friendly place with the democratic spirit. Engineer Dean's List Error Is Corected Due to an error in the scholastic reports of William Richard Stump, junior in electrical engineering from Auburn, his name was omitted from the dean's list of the School of Engineering here. A correction of this report from the Registrar's Office shows that Stump has a high record that places him on the dean's list. terested persons, are Mrs. S. L. Toomer, Mr. Kirtley Brown, and Mr. Smith. These men and women will be glad to advise any person who would like more information concerning the WAVES. The recruiting drive is part of the celebration of the first anniversary of the Navy women's reserve and will end on July 30, the date of the founding of the Women's branch of the Navy. The drive in this section is under the direction of the Birmingham Office of Naval Officer Procurement. It is expected by the end of 1943.that there will be 41,000 enlisted women and 7,500 officers in the WAVES, and at the present time training schools in 16 different centers have a capacity of 15,000 women at one time. Auburn's quota for this drive is eight women. Thousands of women between 20 and 36 years of age and with two years of high school education (the only requirements, except the usual physical and moral ones) are needed to take jobs now held by men. According to Navy Department information, there are more than 70,000 men on shore doing jobs which could be done equally well by women. Women are given identical training with that of the they are to replace, the only difference being that women do not go to sea, are not assigned to foreign duty, and require no shipboard training. Most of the training offered women makes available to them upon graduation from a Naval training school a third class petty officer rating, and, in many cases, graduates attain a second class petty officer rating. Women who are not rated upon graduation may earn their ratings by serving an apprenticeship on the job. The committee urges that all women-who might be interested to make an appointment and talk to the WAVE representatives. They feel that the WAVES are a vital part of our national defense program and that Auburn must respond to this appeal as readily and as generously as they have to others in the past. English Instructor To Leave For Army Charles I. Patterson III, instructor in English at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has been inducted into the Army and will report for duty July 29 at Fort McPherson, Georgia. Mr. Patterson has been at API for two years. He holds A. B. and M. A. degrees from Emory University and had taught at Boys High School in Atlanta and at Georgia Tech before coming here. He is a member of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association and Sigma Chi fraternity. Would We Do It? Brooklyn college has disclosed plans for a four-week summer session in which city bred stu-men [-dents will harvest crops by day and attend classes at night. Invitations Notice Don Jennings, newly-elected senior representative to the Executive Cabinet has been appointed chairman of the elections committee. Jennings slates thai he has been investigating various type and price invitations and that orders for the invitations will be placed in the near future. Persons who desire lo order invitations are urged to contact Jennings at the Pitts Hotel at once. "Does Anybody Want A Date?" By Roysce Smith The subject of blind dates, which was once avoided as was the plague, is now a common subject daily broached in homes throughout the country. One is likely to be taken into the corner at any time and told how charming, how entertaining, how beautiful Miss X is. Of course, Miss X may have buck teeth, knock knees, stringy hair, and purple eyes, but they are only noticeable when the light strikes her at a 45-degree angle on the Sahara desert in the middle of November, which is the obviously the way the friend who is arranging the date saw her last. I'm old-fashioned, I guess. I still avoid the blind date as I would the plague; yea, even two plagues. No friend, no matter how close, can convince me that a blind date is anything more attractive than a two-headed Ubangi. Let us take the subject of the first blind date on record. In the beginning Adam was lonely and without inspiration. What happened? He got a blind date with some doll who hadn't even been created. She stayed with him because there was no other place to go and because he didn't know exactly what to do with her. Result? One day she got tired of cooking oyer a hot spring and decided to feed him a lunch of fresh fruit. And then? The mortgage on their farm was foreclosed. You blind daters take warning and beware, lest you have a blind dale who will come to dinner and stay—to* no good end. In willingness to let the blind daters have their day in the matter, I interviewed several and do herewith present their ideas on the subject: Quoting genial, quick-witted Abercrombie Affidavit, "They're just too sweet. One just meets THE most intelligen girls that way. Why I dated a girl last night who had read "Gone With The Wind" from cover to cover six times." Says jovial, plump Toney Two-tons, "I, ha-ha-ha, once dated a, ha-ha-ha, girl who had FOUR Statistics Show Fewer Desertions For War II Statistics show that only 171,- 642 cases have been reported in this war as compared to 474,861 in the first World War, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the first World War only 111,839 men, then listed as deserters w e r e accounted for through prosecution or otherwise, while in this war all but 50,263 cases had been cleared up by the 15th of June. chins. Ha-ha-ha. I only have, ha-ha-ha, three." And Perry Prevet, "They give me my kicks. But I don't believe the girl I dated Sunday night was as young as she claimed. She didn't have all of her teeth." Since the blind date is definitely here to be reckoned with, I suppose it would he best to improve it as much as possible. I'm almost completely in a state of unrelaxed coma as to how to do it can be bettered. Perhaps everyone should register, as for the draft, and be required to carry at all times a card bearing all information as to height, weight, skeletons in the family closet, morals, IQ, and date of last typhoid innoculation, accompanied by a life-size photograph of the registrant in bathing suit. This card would be sur-. rendered to the person making the arrangements for the meeting who would show it to the prospective date. Any other suggestions will be grimly accepted by the writer who will turn them over to his special filing staff composed oi* three gremlins and a freshman from the Diamond Apartments. Meanwhile, I have to get dressed for a date with a charming .entertaining, beautiful Miss X who is a third cousin of my best friend. v Page Two T H E P L A I N S M AN July 13, 1943 Thz Plairumarv WOULD A WAR EAGLE DO?

Member ftssocialed Golle&iate Press Distributor of Golle6iate Di6est Just Kids Named Joe My best friend writes from New Guinea: "Occasionally a Jap scout is discovered in the vicinity, and then we all get out and hunt him down. It reminds me of nothing quite so much as playing cops and robbers,. or hare and hounds, when we were kids; except that now the bang-bangs are loaded." Another friend, on maneuvers: "Our company had to blow up a bridge to cut off the 'enemy's' retreat. The feeling I got when the charge went off, and pieces of bridge went sky-high, was the same one I used to get when I was seven or eight, and we destroyed the 'enemy's' fort in a snowball fight." Sometimes, in the midst of the "blood, sweat, and tears" of army life, the parallel between some of the things that are happening to you, and some that used to happen long years ago, creeps up on you. The humor of it gets you, and afterward you feel better for having been able to stand off and look at yourself a while. Every so often some of the rituals, or the tone of someone's voice, will make you grin in amusement. Reminds one of grown-ups acting like kids mimicking grown-ups.

And your pride keeps growing and growing when you realize, in the midse of happy news-stories, and happier broadcasts, that the guys who have finally begun winning this war, not just the Americans, but the British, the Russians, the Chinese, and all the others, are prob* ably just like the boys in "A" Company, or Battery, or Squadron, or Troop. They're guys who, like us, have learned to eat liver cut from the skin-side of the cow, when they had that; have learned to drink tea made from coffee-grounds; have learned to flop squish! into that slit-trench, rainy nights or fair; guys who are looking forward, like us and more so, to the next time they can put on white, or blue, or lavender shirts, and pants with suspenders; guys who are on their way to teaching dictators who wouldn't believe it, that our side never starts wars, but always finishes them. It's turned out that Americans can throw hand-grenades as well as they can baseballs, if they have to; that they can Tun that second platoon just as well as they did the Squeedunk football team, if they have to. Our side can be proud that the heroes of this war have turned out to be just kids named Joe.

HORTON Take It For What It Is In the past it has been the custom for this publication to dedicate a welcome editorial to new fre'shmen at the beginning of each year. At most the new freshmen classes numbered not more than a thousand, and that was in peace time. And now, with such a large group of new individuals stationed on our campus, we feel it necessary and appropriate that some form of recognition and welcome be directed toward them. We take great pleasure in making an attempt at this although we are at lost as exactly to what to say. First, we want to make you feel at home and at ease. We realize that this can't be done with a wave of the hand or by mere written words, but by a few positive actions the situation will be helped. You are part of the student body, therefore you are automatically invited to all general campus activities such as step sings, open air concerts, sports, and other functions. Not only are you invited but you are sincerely urged to attend so as to promote cooperation and understanding among the various divisions of the student body. Since time began, Auburn students have exhibited friendliness. At first it was the friendliness natural to a small town and college. As time went by, API gradually took on more ponderous and dynamic aspects, but the contagious habit of speaking to one another on the streets persisted. It is now as you see it. At first, sailors and soldiers from the northern sections of our nation found it rather strange to be hailed passing by a "hey" and found it more puzzling to be addressed in such manner by coeds. Several misinterpretations had to be cleared up, but now most of them seem to have taken to the habit like ducks to water— and like it. We believe that there is a certain attitude, some call it spirit, of democracy on the cam-put which if acquired, will influence a whole life. We hope that you will catch that certain pirit of which we are so proud and which we guard so jealously. If you learn to appreciate that democratic way of thinking we feel that you will soon love Auburn as we do.. Then we must—well we won't apologize but just explain about the size of Auburn the vil-lake. We realize it is not a metropolis, t u t it's the best we can do, nay, could we do better? It is large enough to accommodate the student body, and if you get bored you can always go to the library and read a good book. We further invite your comments to and about individuals and objects of interest on the campus. This is your paper and we wish to engage your interest since most of you will remain here for a considerable period of time. Our Readers Speak The following letter was written.to business manager, John Blake, by his brother who is temporarily located at Fort McPherson. Dear Johnny, You know I told you I'd write you if anything happened to any-Auburn boys. Well, something did. It seems like whenever a bunch of Auburn men are around, things are never dull, and there is a good-sized bunch of us over here at Fort McPherson. Last night an amateur show was held in the recreation hall, and Claude Corcoran, a good Auburn man who plays the piano like nobody's business, decided to enter. We were all behind him, too. He decided to play boogie-woogie, and he really did. Somebody said that piano would surely go to heaven .'cause he sure beat hell out of it. • ' When he got through we nearly tore the place up, clapping, stomping, and whistling. Of course, the Auburn men led the cheering, but everybody supported him. They kept yelling for more. And they got it, too. Out of about twenty contestants, Claude got a first place, and five dollars. The m. c. asked him to say a few words. After he had thanked the audience for its support, he led a War Eagle cry. He counted one, two, three, and we raised the roof with a long War Eagle. Of course, some of them didn't know what it meant, but there is a bunch up here from the University of Georgia and I know darn well they knew what it meant—defeat.

Don't look now, b u t we think^that someone is p l a y i n g some sort of p e r v e r t e d joke, on us. Strolling across the "campus the other day we were confronted with a dog in technicolor. We've h e a r d of horses of a different color, pink elephants, and t he like, but never a technicolor dog. One of our old canine friends, Tiger, formerly of the SPE house, is n ow sporting a delightful shade of p u r p l e dye on his tail. * * * We look for the day when the imaginative minds behind all of this local color run wild and dye everything in sight— cats, squirrels, and even friends. We won't be the least bit surprised to meet the society editor beaming at us from behind a mask of green and strutting vari-colored limbs hither and thither. Page the S. P. C. A.! * * * We a r e glad to see t h a t at last fraternities have raised their heads long enough to give a few socials. I t makes one t h i n k of . t h e olden days with the SAEs once again giving hay-rides, t he KSs giving house dances, and the PIKAs giving watermelon cuttings. * * * The list of former API students raking in the honors at their camps and overseas mounts daily. The battle cry of the plains is becoming well-known around the globe. Here in the village we are sending Auburn blood, without a body, to the battlefields. And we wait for the news that our two bombers, "Auburn Tiger" and "Auburn War Eagle," have hit the bulls-eyes in Berlin and Tokyo. * * * So we are to have a campus dating bureau. Of all things! We have heard of these things for a long time and n ow w e a re actually to see one in action. Of course, t h e success or failure of the entire idea will depend upon the cooperation of the girls. If the girls will register with the bureau, it will be a success. We hope that it can be organized so as to r e a l l y do some good. * * * We are glad to see a big time baseball team in Montgomery again. It has been quite a while since we have seen a "Class A" ball team play and we are looking forward to making a week end trip or two to Montgomery and seeing the Lookouts, pardon us, the Rebels play. Montgomery has felt the need of a big team for years, and the enterprise should be very successful. * * * Funny things happen around a newspaper office. As we sit here pounding out this stuff, we h a v e only to raise our eyes to see a headline clipped from another paper which reads "Hor-ton Dies In Japanese Prison Camp." Such things as t h i s happen all the time. Whenever a staff member sees an article in t he paper with a name in it similar to another staff member's, the clipping is immediately pasted to the wall where it may remain for any given length of time. (So that's where the sign, "QUIET Is Requested for the Benefit of Those Who Have Retired," which hangs b y t h e Linotype came from.—-L. O.) * * * Quite an amusing incident at the Tiger Sunday. As you • know, the show was concerned largely with aricraft and war in the air. The screen at the theater had somehow acquired a little spot which was of the size and shape of an airplane in the distance. It was quite interesting to watch the number of people who thought that it was a Jap plane about to attack our heroes. 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. An editor, after a.visit from a v e r y angry retired warrior, rushed to the desk of one of the reporters and demanded, "What do you mean by this?" The reporter followed his boss's finger and read, "Among the prettiest young ladies present at the garden party was Colonel Blots." He looked up and said firmly, "Well, that's where he was." * * * Wise commanders have concluded that it is normal for orders to miscarry, or to arrive too late, or to be misinterpreted, or not to be fully executed — it is normal for information to be delayed or to be insufficient; that it is norrnal for units to be late, • or to lose their sense of direction, or to become mingled with neighboring units; that it is normal for material means to be inadequate, staffs overworked, commanders harrassed, roads congested, traffic interrupted, supply to falter at critical moments. Theirs it is to make the best of what they have, but "carry on." * * * For an interesting and instructive excursion on a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday, if you can make the transportation arrangements, we would recommend a trip to Tuskegee Institute some 18 miles from Auburn. -While the college itself and the grounds are picturesque, the center of interest is naturally the George Washington Carver Memorial Museum. This humble building is already a shrine in the hearts and minds of hosts of people throughout our country and the world. The exhibits trace the lifetime work of Dr. Carver and there are also displayed some of his many honors and the laboratory equipment with which he conducted his epic experiments. We repeat again, if you can make it, you'll find it well worth your while. * * * "Being on time" is a virtue both in civil and military life. In military life~ being late may have serious consequences even resulting in loss of a battle and loss of lives. Cadets should budget their time so as to arrive at the class room and be in their seats by ten minutes after the hour, and they should be on the drill field at 105 or 1105, at which times "Drill Call" is blown, so as to be in their proper place in ranks at 1610 or 1110, at which times "Assembly" is blown. * * * A few of the officers were talking about the days in the Army when privates received $21 per month base pay. One officer related the story of a man walking up to the pay table, receiving, after all deductions were made, a grand total of $2.65. Whereupon the private tried to make a deal with the CO, making this remark: "You can have it all if you'll let me have three hours extra sleep tomorrow." * * * The other day I overheard one of the men remark that he ought to collect extra pay for foreign service as long as he was assigned to a post in Alabama. Naturally, I thought that he' was just exercising his G. I. sense of humor. However, in a recent Sunday edition of the Birmingham News- Age Herald, self-admittedly, "The South's greatest newspaper," the following sentence appeared in a little item on the new automobile tax stamp. "Every motor vehicle operated in Alabama and the United States must have this new automobile tax stamp affixed to its windshied." Maybe that soldier had something. * * * When the considered opinion of the men of one STAR Company was obtained concerning the welfare of the soldier during his stay at Auburn the following suggestions with apparent merit (ones about which nothing has been done) were made: 1.

I know you're wondering about the illustrations. So here's the explanation. They are done by Harry F. Lowe III or IV (some say one, some say the other—I prefer to believe both) for the reason that — in his~own words —"Anything would help." * * * "Listen," Harry said to me one day, "I'm much more famous as an artist than you are as a writer. Therefore, I'll draw the pictures; you'll build your column around the pictures." * * * And that is one excuse for the incoherency of this article. Another excuse is that the subject was selected by one of my suite-mates. Imagine calling a tough private a suite-mate. * » * Today's lecture is on chivalry, which is nothing more or less than the way a man acts toward a beautiful stranger. Some people think chivalry is decreasing. If so, it's not because women are after equality. It's simply because ewomen are losing their sex appeal. . * * * Our grandmothers wore so much clothing and concealed themselves so effectively that grandfather was able to use his imagination. a good make-shift for a scarecrow. To test the veracity of this opinion I conducted a one-man poll with a very beautiful girl. And here's her r e p , , . > )0$; " B e a u t i f u l - ^ _^. women, who al- ' c r *—> <=" ways have been a minority group i n s p i t e qi!\i_— -—' ' i Woodbury's soap in the past were jorced to wear a lot of clothing | )\ L The Summer Reveille at LSU reports that the stadium is off limits for the coeds there. My, my, what will they think of next? That reminds us of an old one which we heard somewhere. ^ Girl: "No, we mustn't. Didn't you know that the dean had stopped necking? Boy: Well, can you beat that? The first thing you know she'll be wanting the students to stop. * * * Don't give up—we promise that such a thing as that won't happen again—at least not in this column.

The mod-mademoi- 's wardrobe leaves so little to the imagination that it's like playing a game of bridge in which all the cards are face-up on the table.

This left the ugly girls holding the bags of their garbs. * * * "Nowadays, the men are chivalrous only to the ladies they know are beautiful, whereas they used to be that way to the camouflaged ones as" well." * * * No matter which view you share, chivalry seems to be declining. But what I don't understand is why this should cause so much alarm. People used to think that to be chivalrous was to be noble. Yet many realists think the object of being chivalrous is to make one of the opposite sex feel as if he or she is depicted in one of these illustrations. * * » Furthermore, they say, even if men are less chivalrous generally, the practice will never become extinct. And for the simple reason that man has always been gallant to the woman of. his choice—so long as she remains the one for him — ever since Adam discovered he had a spare rib for Eve. * * * Cleanliness may be next to (Continued on page 4) July 13, 1943 T H E P L A I N S M AN Page Three in •i i i Women Of Auburn YOUR NAVY NEEDS YOU mmmmk TO EVERY WOMAN IN AUBURN WHO WANTS A PART IN WINNING THIS WAR-SERVE YOUR COUNTRY IN THE * WAVES * Every woman as well as every man must play a part in this war.

Rear Gunner Receives DFC For Heroic Action Seldom are the heroic deeds of the rear seat guners of torpedo planes given the acclaim which is due them. One such rear gunner was Harry H. Ferrier, Rm3c, USN, nineteen-year-old sailor. In the battle of Midway, Ferrier kept his guns smoking under the most terrific kind of pounding from enemy fighters and ack-ack from the ships below. With coolness and complete disregard for his personal safety, he fought off overwhelming numbers of the enemies and made possible the torpedo attack his skipper delivered on the enemy carrier. For his intrepidity, Ferrier was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. RHAPSODIZINGS (Continued from Page 2) righteousness according to Shakespeare, but I think chivalry is. If,- by being chivalrous, a man can make somebody feel good— and he isn't exaggerating when talking to his dream girl — why go to it. There are too many people who need to feel good more often. * * * Finally, a word to the girls. Men will be chivalrous only when they think the women appreciate it. When they try to help you do something you could do with both arms in a sling, don't look like you're thinking, "You silly fool." * * * You might even go a little farther and let them out drink you every once in a while. Ida Vacates; Boss Shoots Around Her Lupino Ages 10 Years In Week's Absence The fact that movie scenes are seldom shot chronologically often makes a picture seem plotless and even senseless during" production. And sometimes this confuses even the stars who work in these pictures. A good example is Ida Lupino's embarrassment when she returned to the set of "The Hard Way" after a week's absence. When Ida left the show, the scene was a cheap and smelly kttchen in the coal mining town of GreenhiU, Pa. Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson, small-time vaudeville actors, had just, arrived in town, and Carson was displaying an inter-e ^ ^ n Joan Leslie, who plays Kla's sister. Filling in during Ida Lupino's .absence, Director Vincent Sherman "shot around" her, with the result that when she returned these things had happened: Joan Leslie had become a Broadway musical comedy star; Jack Carson had committed suicide; the locale of the picture had moved to New York City; Dennis Morgan had become a band leader; Joan and Jack had learned and performed an expert rhum-ba act; and Ida herself was 10 years older. The first day she looked in on the set, she found 50 chorus girls doing a production number, and costume d«Signer Orry-Kelly waiting to get her approval on 23 new gowns.

Meade Leads Songs For Singing Sixth During the road march that followed the afternoon's PE last Friday, the Sixth Company - of the STARs earned for itself (he title of "The Singing Sixtn." During the entire march, the company was singing, led by Private James Meade. Starting out with "The Ferryboat Serenade," Private Meade was quickly joined by other members of the company. The singing being successful, Meade then led the group into the famous Brown College song, better known as "Bye-low My Baby." Meade sang the solo leads, with the rest of the company joining in thunderously on the chorus. The leads went on and on. Meade seemed to know an almost unlimited number of them. Sometimes they were so funny that the company could scarcely carry on the chorus because of the laugh-, ter provoked by Meade. Then came the inevitable "Madamoiselle from Armenti-eres" (Hinky-Dinky Parley-Voo). Here Meade's wit blossomed forth in its most amusing aspects, for several of the verses were at the expense of , the lieutenants and- Captain Whitley himself, who obviously enjoyed the ribbing. Private Meade is a lanky, straight-haired lad from Orsonia, Conn. Prior to army life, he was a steel worker. His four months of army life were spent at Camp Croft. He has had no training in music of any kind. The humorous and sometimes ribald verses of his songs he says were made up by himself and his buddies mainly at Camp Croft. His main interest is not in singing or music, but as he says "getting a furlough." "Next to wives, sweethearts and letters from home, among things our soldiers mention most is Coca-Cola. Of course, our fighting men meet up with Coke many places overseas. But Coca-Cola got there first. Yes siree, Coca-Cola has been a globe-trotter since way back when. It has been sold in more than 100 foreign lands. "Even with war and so many Coca-Cola bottling plants in enemy-occupied countries, our fighting men are delighted to find Coca-Cola being bottled right on the Aspot in so many places around the globe.

Some of the factors influencing this decision follow: The entire football?:; coaching staff is in the Army^Ohly one member of last yea#s football squad is on hand. Thev, Army shows no disposition to modify its decision that college trainees are not eligible for intercollegiate competition. Auburn's 1943 squad would have to be composed of 17 to 18 year old boys and those classified in 4-F or 2-A. Without the advantage of spring or summer practice under the direction of an able coaching staff it would be impossible to build a team in the fall that could offer reasonable competition to those having the services of avy trainees or those still retaining their coaching staffs. Unsuccessful efforts were made to borrow the services of head coaches from other Southeastern Conference colleges that have suspend-d athletics. The majority of the SEC members have been faced with similar, considerations and have elected to drop football. Those fortunate enough to have coaching facilities and eligible players are in the minority. (Continued on Page 4} SHERMAN ROGERS FINDS SOUTH FREE OF COMMUNISM, FACISM By Jay Green Sherman Rogers, editor, speaker, and economist, who now lives' in Auburn, has just been honored by the Reader's Digest with the third republication of his prize-winning article on labor relations. Mr. Rogers was a Pacific Coast lumberjack, hard rock miner, sailor, cowpuncher, and Alaskan dog team driver before he became associate editor of the Outlook Magazine in 1919 following ex-president Theodore Roosevelt. The Editor has written for Red Book Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, The Farm Journal, Leslies, and was for several years associate editor of Liberty Magazine. Mr. Rogers has written feature articles for the New York World, The New York Evening Post, The Philadelphia Public Ledger, The Birmingham News, and The Charlotte Observer. Asked by your reporter his reason for coming South, Mr. Rogers replied to the question quickly and definitely: "I do not like either Communism or Fac-ism— and the South is the only part of the entire world practically free of both elements." "Our particular reason for coming to Auburn," the Editor quickly added, "was for the fact that the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is the one thoroughly 100% American faculty and student body we could find anywhere in the United States — and we had made a careful) investigation of many nothern and western colleges. Mr. Rogers hastened to add, "I have travelled over all southern states and looked over 54 southern industrial- cities- and towns. In the many months spent on this investigation I did not encounter a single Communist or Facist and I feel I am safe in "Si, SI, WE LIKE COLLEGE IN THE UNITED STATES" By Mimi Simms Co-incidence brought good neighbors Sebastian Romero, of Caracas, Venezuela, and Ricardo Leon, of Sonora, Mexico, together in Auburn. Both visiting the United States on Soil Conservation Service fellowships, they met for the first time here. These fellowships, given by the United States Department of Agriculture to the outstanding graduates of Latin American universities, include one year of intensive training in soil conservation. Sebastian Romero has been in the United States five months. Most of this time he has spent working on soil problems in .Florida. He plans to visit Washington and the western part of our country. Ricardo Leon has spent ten months in the Far West. He expects to visit the northern part of the United States before returning to Mexico. A graduate of Liceo Andres Bello, a high school, and Central University of Venezuela, Sebastian is an agronomist. Both his high school and university are coeducational; most of the girls study the professions—law, pharmacy, medicine, or engineering. One has even ventured into agriculture. Student organizations abound on the campus and conferences play an important part in college life. Although there are few who attempt to jitterbug, dancing is popular, as are picnics, parties, and fiestas. College sports, of which baseball is undoubtedly the favorite, include track, tennis, soccer, basketball and boxing. The National School of Agriculture in Chapingo, State of Mexico, where Ricardo graduated, is very different. No girls are enrolled. It is a 'government school and scholarships mus-t be won to be admitted. Three years of preparatory school and four years of college are offered with all expenses paid. It is not unusual to take twelve or fourteen subjects a year in preparatory school and one year Ricardo took sixteen! Everyone takes military training and upon graduation each receives the rank of first lieutenant in the Mexican Army. Intercollegiate sports are popular and there is much rivalry between schools. From Saturday noon to Monday morning is "free" time} then the girls come for dances and fiestas. American movies, in English, as well as well as Mexican and Argentian movies in Spanish, are favorites. As good will ambassadors, these typical college graduates of last year's classes, made lasting impressions on everyone they met. If we or North America could meet more Latin Americans like these, the good neighbor policy would be more firmly fashioned. saying the South is the most desirable place on earth to live in. This's why we~are here and it's why we intend to stay here." Like Warbling? Try Step Sing Program Planned Includes Movies, Two Violin Solos By Belty Barnett A treat is in store for everyone who attends the community sing tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Library grove. Not only has Prof. F. E. Guyton selected a group of songs that everyone likes to sing, but also a program during intermission will be presented. Miss Margaret Bickler, Birmingham, will play two violin solos, "Frasquita" by Lehar and "Liebeslied" by Kreisler. Miss Bickler I s a gifted violinist having studied under Ottakar Cadek at the Birmingham Conservatory of Music. She will be accompanied by Prof. Marino-Merlo who will also accompany the singing. . Two movie shorts will be presented. One is entitled "The Naughty Nineties." The other is a song short called "Anchors Aweigh." • Prof. Guyton urges all who like to sing to attend. ON THE CAMPUS AVMA AVMA will meet tonight at 7:30 p. m. in the old Vet Building. Step Sing The second in a series of Step Sings will be held Wednesday night at 8:00 p. m. in the grove behind the library. Two motion pictures will be shown.

KDPi Social Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education society, will present a social for all education students in pecan grove behind the Library tonight at 6:45 p. m. All education students are cordially invited. Women's Organizations Entertain Servicemen By Nettye Kathtyn Rice Mrs.. Mary Askew, director of the Service Center in Auburn has asked the various women's organizations on the campus to cooperate with her by sending eight to ten of their members one night a week to the USO Center and one night a week to the Student Center. The women have responded very favorably to this request and every night finds a number of girls on their way to each of these places to help entertain the servicemen. The typical Auburn spirit of cooperation is present in -this, as in all similar enterprises to aid the war effort. The organizations represented in this entertainment drive include Cardinal Key, Sphinx, Owls, Theta Epsilon, Women's Athletic Association, and Women's Student Government Association. "What's In A Name?" Headquarters Asks "What's in a name?" National Headquarters advised Arkansas State Headquarters of a notice from the Canadian Legation that said that Jimmie Cleda Brady, who had been enrolled in the Royal Canadian Air Force, had been separated from the Air Forces "because his services were no longer required." Back came a note from Maj. Lee V. Casey, of Arkansas State Headquarters, with an enclosure from Local Board A, Garland County, Ark., which read in part: "We beg to advise you that this person is the wife of our registrant, James Edwin Brady, who was formerly a member of the Flying Tigers, American Voluntary Group. Mrs. Jimmie Cleda Brady was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force at the time her husband was a member of the Flying Tigers stationed in China."

Two men in khaki out strolling last Saturday evening were approached by one of our zealous Second Lieutenants in front of the Auburn Grille. One of the men passed the officer's casual inspection with flying colors, but the other was reminded of the old army customs of shined shoes, sleeves not rolled to the elbows, the wearing of neckties after retreat, the regulation governing the wearing of the overseas cap, and the age old custom of saluting. "BUT I'M A CIVILIAN!" said the second man. "Oh," said the lieutenant. Honor Society To Present Welcome Social Program To Consist Of Social Games, Music, Folk Dancing Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education society, will present a social for all education students in the pecan grove behind the lib-brary tpnight at 6:45 p. m. All education students are cordially invited to attend. There will be a group singing for thirty minutes, and then the dean of the School of Education will welcome the students. Several musical numbers will be rendered by two members of the STAR Unit, Pfc. Eugene Dryer of Brooklyn, N. Y., graduate of City College of New York and holding an MA in music from Columbia University, and Pfc. Robert Scherer, Marion, 111., graduate of Southern Illinois Normal. Miss Bibza of the Physical Education Department will present a number in folk dancing for the occasion, and Mrs. J. E. Land will direct social games. Refreshments will be served at i n c l u sion of activities. WAVES Inaugerate Recruiting Drive Local Program Under B'ham Direction; Auburn's Quota Given As Eight Women A WAVE recruiting party will be at the postoffice in Auburn on Saturday, July 17, from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m. for the purpose of interviewing and furnishing information to Women who desire to serve their country by enlisting in the WAVES. Robert E. Smith, at Burton's Book Store is in charge of assigning appointments and women who desire to make an appointment should contact him at once. Serving on the local committee, whose job is to assist in any way the recruiters and in- Petrie, Duncan Welcome ASTPs "It is your privilege and duty to carry on the tradition of manhood, honesty, good sportsmanship, and fine fellowship at Auburn," said Dr. George Petrie, former dean of the graduate school and coach of Auburn's first football team, in a talk at the convocation program which was part of the orientation program for the 440 men who will begin classes Monday at Auburn under the Army Specialized Training Program course in basic engineering. Col. John J. Waterman, commandant of all Army groups on the campus, presided over the meeting. After a few welcoming remarks he introduced Dr. L. N. Duncan, president of Auburn. Dr. Duncan told of Auburn's record in national defense, bringing out that one of the main reasons for the creation of the college was for this purpose. He cautioned the boys not to say Alabama Polytechnic Institute but to learn to use the familiar "Auburn." Dr. Petrie addressed the ASTP men as "students of Auburn." He said that two of the most important events in life were the choosing of a wife—"if you do the choosing"—and the choosing of a college—"if you do the choosing." He described Auburn as a friendly place with the democratic spirit. Engineer Dean's List Error Is Corected Due to an error in the scholastic reports of William Richard Stump, junior in electrical engineering from Auburn, his name was omitted from the dean's list of the School of Engineering here. A correction of this report from the Registrar's Office shows that Stump has a high record that places him on the dean's list. terested persons, are Mrs. S. L. Toomer, Mr. Kirtley Brown, and Mr. Smith. These men and women will be glad to advise any person who would like more information concerning the WAVES. The recruiting drive is part of the celebration of the first anniversary of the Navy women's reserve and will end on July 30, the date of the founding of the Women's branch of the Navy. The drive in this section is under the direction of the Birmingham Office of Naval Officer Procurement. It is expected by the end of 1943.that there will be 41,000 enlisted women and 7,500 officers in the WAVES, and at the present time training schools in 16 different centers have a capacity of 15,000 women at one time. Auburn's quota for this drive is eight women. Thousands of women between 20 and 36 years of age and with two years of high school education (the only requirements, except the usual physical and moral ones) are needed to take jobs now held by men. According to Navy Department information, there are more than 70,000 men on shore doing jobs which could be done equally well by women. Women are given identical training with that of the they are to replace, the only difference being that women do not go to sea, are not assigned to foreign duty, and require no shipboard training. Most of the training offered women makes available to them upon graduation from a Naval training school a third class petty officer rating, and, in many cases, graduates attain a second class petty officer rating. Women who are not rated upon graduation may earn their ratings by serving an apprenticeship on the job. The committee urges that all women-who might be interested to make an appointment and talk to the WAVE representatives. They feel that the WAVES are a vital part of our national defense program and that Auburn must respond to this appeal as readily and as generously as they have to others in the past. English Instructor To Leave For Army Charles I. Patterson III, instructor in English at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has been inducted into the Army and will report for duty July 29 at Fort McPherson, Georgia. Mr. Patterson has been at API for two years. He holds A. B. and M. A. degrees from Emory University and had taught at Boys High School in Atlanta and at Georgia Tech before coming here. He is a member of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association and Sigma Chi fraternity. Would We Do It? Brooklyn college has disclosed plans for a four-week summer session in which city bred stu-men [-dents will harvest crops by day and attend classes at night. Invitations Notice Don Jennings, newly-elected senior representative to the Executive Cabinet has been appointed chairman of the elections committee. Jennings slates thai he has been investigating various type and price invitations and that orders for the invitations will be placed in the near future. Persons who desire lo order invitations are urged to contact Jennings at the Pitts Hotel at once. "Does Anybody Want A Date?" By Roysce Smith The subject of blind dates, which was once avoided as was the plague, is now a common subject daily broached in homes throughout the country. One is likely to be taken into the corner at any time and told how charming, how entertaining, how beautiful Miss X is. Of course, Miss X may have buck teeth, knock knees, stringy hair, and purple eyes, but they are only noticeable when the light strikes her at a 45-degree angle on the Sahara desert in the middle of November, which is the obviously the way the friend who is arranging the date saw her last. I'm old-fashioned, I guess. I still avoid the blind date as I would the plague; yea, even two plagues. No friend, no matter how close, can convince me that a blind date is anything more attractive than a two-headed Ubangi. Let us take the subject of the first blind date on record. In the beginning Adam was lonely and without inspiration. What happened? He got a blind date with some doll who hadn't even been created. She stayed with him because there was no other place to go and because he didn't know exactly what to do with her. Result? One day she got tired of cooking oyer a hot spring and decided to feed him a lunch of fresh fruit. And then? The mortgage on their farm was foreclosed. You blind daters take warning and beware, lest you have a blind dale who will come to dinner and stay—to* no good end. In willingness to let the blind daters have their day in the matter, I interviewed several and do herewith present their ideas on the subject: Quoting genial, quick-witted Abercrombie Affidavit, "They're just too sweet. One just meets THE most intelligen girls that way. Why I dated a girl last night who had read "Gone With The Wind" from cover to cover six times." Says jovial, plump Toney Two-tons, "I, ha-ha-ha, once dated a, ha-ha-ha, girl who had FOUR Statistics Show Fewer Desertions For War II Statistics show that only 171,- 642 cases have been reported in this war as compared to 474,861 in the first World War, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the first World War only 111,839 men, then listed as deserters w e r e accounted for through prosecution or otherwise, while in this war all but 50,263 cases had been cleared up by the 15th of June. chins. Ha-ha-ha. I only have, ha-ha-ha, three." And Perry Prevet, "They give me my kicks. But I don't believe the girl I dated Sunday night was as young as she claimed. She didn't have all of her teeth." Since the blind date is definitely here to be reckoned with, I suppose it would he best to improve it as much as possible. I'm almost completely in a state of unrelaxed coma as to how to do it can be bettered. Perhaps everyone should register, as for the draft, and be required to carry at all times a card bearing all information as to height, weight, skeletons in the family closet, morals, IQ, and date of last typhoid innoculation, accompanied by a life-size photograph of the registrant in bathing suit. This card would be sur-. rendered to the person making the arrangements for the meeting who would show it to the prospective date. Any other suggestions will be grimly accepted by the writer who will turn them over to his special filing staff composed oi* three gremlins and a freshman from the Diamond Apartments. Meanwhile, I have to get dressed for a date with a charming .entertaining, beautiful Miss X who is a third cousin of my best friend. v Page Two T H E P L A I N S M AN July 13, 1943 Thz Plairumarv WOULD A WAR EAGLE DO?

Member ftssocialed Golle&iate Press Distributor of Golle6iate Di6est Just Kids Named Joe My best friend writes from New Guinea: "Occasionally a Jap scout is discovered in the vicinity, and then we all get out and hunt him down. It reminds me of nothing quite so much as playing cops and robbers,. or hare and hounds, when we were kids; except that now the bang-bangs are loaded." Another friend, on maneuvers: "Our company had to blow up a bridge to cut off the 'enemy's' retreat. The feeling I got when the charge went off, and pieces of bridge went sky-high, was the same one I used to get when I was seven or eight, and we destroyed the 'enemy's' fort in a snowball fight." Sometimes, in the midst of the "blood, sweat, and tears" of army life, the parallel between some of the things that are happening to you, and some that used to happen long years ago, creeps up on you. The humor of it gets you, and afterward you feel better for having been able to stand off and look at yourself a while. Every so often some of the rituals, or the tone of someone's voice, will make you grin in amusement. Reminds one of grown-ups acting like kids mimicking grown-ups.

And your pride keeps growing and growing when you realize, in the midse of happy news-stories, and happier broadcasts, that the guys who have finally begun winning this war, not just the Americans, but the British, the Russians, the Chinese, and all the others, are prob* ably just like the boys in "A" Company, or Battery, or Squadron, or Troop. They're guys who, like us, have learned to eat liver cut from the skin-side of the cow, when they had that; have learned to drink tea made from coffee-grounds; have learned to flop squish! into that slit-trench, rainy nights or fair; guys who are looking forward, like us and more so, to the next time they can put on white, or blue, or lavender shirts, and pants with suspenders; guys who are on their way to teaching dictators who wouldn't believe it, that our side never starts wars, but always finishes them. It's turned out that Americans can throw hand-grenades as well as they can baseballs, if they have to; that they can Tun that second platoon just as well as they did the Squeedunk football team, if they have to. Our side can be proud that the heroes of this war have turned out to be just kids named Joe. Crossed Cannon and Castles Wm THE GOI/EMMENT AWING PEOPLE TO SUSPEND UMCffflty JW£L BVBUS, RMOfiMQ,JT'SJ CINCH/ By The Way By C. W. HORTON Take It For What It Is In the past it has been the custom for this publication to dedicate a welcome editorial to new fre'shmen at the beginning of each year. At most the new freshmen classes numbered not more than a thousand, and that was in peace time. And now, with such a large group of new individuals stationed on our campus, we feel it necessary and appropriate that some form of recognition and welcome be directed toward them. We take great pleasure in making an attempt at this although we are at lost as exactly to what to say. First, we want to make you feel at home and at ease. We realize that this can't be done with a wave of the hand or by mere written words, but by a few positive actions the situation will be helped. You are part of the student body, therefore you are automatically invited to all general campus activities such as step sings, open air concerts, sports, and other functions. Not only are you invited but you are sincerely urged to attend so as to promote cooperation and understanding among the various divisions of the student body. Since time began, Auburn students have exhibited friendliness. At first it was the friendliness natural to a small town and college. As time went by, API gradually took on more ponderous and dynamic aspects, but the contagious habit of speaking to one another on the streets persisted. It is now as you see it. At first, sailors and soldiers from the northern sections of our nation found it rather strange to be hailed passing by a "hey" and found it more puzzling to be addressed in such manner by coeds. Several misinterpretations had to be cleared up, but now most of them seem to have taken to the habit like ducks to water— and like it. We believe that there is a certain attitude, some call it spirit, of democracy on the cam-put which if acquired, will influence a whole life. We hope that you will catch that certain pirit of which we are so proud and which we guard so jealously. If you learn to appreciate that democratic way of thinking we feel that you will soon love Auburn as we do.. Then we must—well we won't apologize but just explain about the size of Auburn the vil-lake. We realize it is not a metropolis, t u t it's the best we can do, nay, could we do better? It is large enough to accommodate the student body, and if you get bored you can always go to the library and read a good book. We further invite your comments to and about individuals and objects of interest on the campus. This is your paper and we wish to engage your interest since most of you will remain here for a considerable period of time. Our Readers Speak The following letter was written.to business manager, John Blake, by his brother who is temporarily located at Fort McPherson. Dear Johnny, You know I told you I'd write you if anything happened to any-Auburn boys. Well, something did. It seems like whenever a bunch of Auburn men are around, things are never dull, and there is a good-sized bunch of us over here at Fort McPherson. Last night an amateur show was held in the recreation hall, and Claude Corcoran, a good Auburn man who plays the piano like nobody's business, decided to enter. We were all behind him, too. He decided to play boogie-woogie, and he really did. Somebody said that piano would surely go to heaven .'cause he sure beat hell out of it. • ' When he got through we nearly tore the place up, clapping, stomping, and whistling. Of course, the Auburn men led the cheering, but everybody supported him. They kept yelling for more. And they got it, too. Out of about twenty contestants, Claude got a first place, and five dollars. The m. c. asked him to say a few words. After he had thanked the audience for its support, he led a War Eagle cry. He counted one, two, three, and we raised the roof with a long War Eagle. Of course, some of them didn't know what it meant, but there is a bunch up here from the University of Georgia and I know darn well they knew what it meant—defeat.

Don't look now, b u t we think^that someone is p l a y i n g some sort of p e r v e r t e d joke, on us. Strolling across the "campus the other day we were confronted with a dog in technicolor. We've h e a r d of horses of a different color, pink elephants, and t he like, but never a technicolor dog. One of our old canine friends, Tiger, formerly of the SPE house, is n ow sporting a delightful shade of p u r p l e dye on his tail. * * * We look for the day when the imaginative minds behind all of this local color run wild and dye everything in sight— cats, squirrels, and even friends. We won't be the least bit surprised to meet the society editor beaming at us from behind a mask of green and strutting vari-colored limbs hither and thither. Page the S. P. C. A.! * * * We a r e glad to see t h a t at last fraternities have raised their heads long enough to give a few socials. I t makes one t h i n k of . t h e olden days with the SAEs once again giving hay-rides, t he KSs giving house dances, and the PIKAs giving watermelon cuttings. * * * The list of former API students raking in the honors at their camps and overseas mounts daily. The battle cry of the plains is becoming well-known around the globe. Here in the village we are sending Auburn blood, without a body, to the battlefields. And we wait for the news that our two bombers, "Auburn Tiger" and "Auburn War Eagle," have hit the bulls-eyes in Berlin and Tokyo. * * * So we are to have a campus dating bureau. Of all things! We have heard of these things for a long time and n ow w e a re actually to see one in action. Of course, t h e success or failure of the entire idea will depend upon the cooperation of the girls. If the girls will register with the bureau, it will be a success. We hope that it can be organized so as to r e a l l y do some good. * * * We are glad to see a big time baseball team in Montgomery again. It has been quite a while since we have seen a "Class A" ball team play and we are looking forward to making a week end trip or two to Montgomery and seeing the Lookouts, pardon us, the Rebels play. Montgomery has felt the need of a big team for years, and the enterprise should be very successful. * * * Funny things happen around a newspaper office. As we sit here pounding out this stuff, we h a v e only to raise our eyes to see a headline clipped from another paper which reads "Hor-ton Dies In Japanese Prison Camp." Such things as t h i s happen all the time. Whenever a staff member sees an article in t he paper with a name in it similar to another staff member's, the clipping is immediately pasted to the wall where it may remain for any given length of time. (So that's where the sign, "QUIET Is Requested for the Benefit of Those Who Have Retired," which hangs b y t h e Linotype came from.—-L. O.) * * * Quite an amusing incident at the Tiger Sunday. As you • know, the show was concerned largely with aricraft and war in the air. The screen at the theater had somehow acquired a little spot which was of the size and shape of an airplane in the distance. It was quite interesting to watch the number of people who thought that it was a Jap plane about to attack our heroes. 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. An editor, after a.visit from a v e r y angry retired warrior, rushed to the desk of one of the reporters and demanded, "What do you mean by this?" The reporter followed his boss's finger and read, "Among the prettiest young ladies present at the garden party was Colonel Blots." He looked up and said firmly, "Well, that's where he was." * * * Wise commanders have concluded that it is normal for orders to miscarry, or to arrive too late, or to be misinterpreted, or not to be fully executed — it is normal for information to be delayed or to be insufficient; that it is norrnal for units to be late, • or to lose their sense of direction, or to become mingled with neighboring units; that it is normal for material means to be inadequate, staffs overworked, commanders harrassed, roads congested, traffic interrupted, supply to falter at critical moments. Theirs it is to make the best of what they have, but "carry on." * * * For an interesting and instructive excursion on a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday, if you can make the transportation arrangements, we would recommend a trip to Tuskegee Institute some 18 miles from Auburn. -While the college itself and the grounds are picturesque, the center of interest is naturally the George Washington Carver Memorial Museum. This humble building is already a shrine in the hearts and minds of hosts of people throughout our country and the world. The exhibits trace the lifetime work of Dr. Carver and there are also displayed some of his many honors and the laboratory equipment with which he conducted his epic experiments. We repeat again, if you can make it, you'll find it well worth your while. * * * "Being on time" is a virtue both in civil and military life. In military life~ being late may have serious consequences even resulting in loss of a battle and loss of lives. Cadets should budget their time so as to arrive at the class room and be in their seats by ten minutes after the hour, and they should be on the drill field at 105 or 1105, at which times "Drill Call" is blown, so as to be in their proper place in ranks at 1610 or 1110, at which times "Assembly" is blown. * * * A few of the officers were talking about the days in the Army when privates received $21 per month base pay. One officer related the story of a man walking up to the pay table, receiving, after all deductions were made, a grand total of $2.65. Whereupon the private tried to make a deal with the CO, making this remark: "You can have it all if you'll let me have three hours extra sleep tomorrow." * * * The other day I overheard one of the men remark that he ought to collect extra pay for foreign service as long as he was assigned to a post in Alabama. Naturally, I thought that he' was just exercising his G. I. sense of humor. However, in a recent Sunday edition of the Birmingham News- Age Herald, self-admittedly, "The South's greatest newspaper," the following sentence appeared in a little item on the new automobile tax stamp. "Every motor vehicle operated in Alabama and the United States must have this new automobile tax stamp affixed to its windshied." Maybe that soldier had something. * * * When the considered opinion of the men of one STAR Company was obtained concerning the welfare of the soldier during his stay at Auburn the following suggestions with apparent merit (ones about which nothing has been done) were made: 1. Sunday afternoon retreat interferes materially with the sol- (Continued on Page 4) Rhapsodizings By FRANK MARSH Editor's note: The opinions expressed In this column are these of the writer and are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper. I know you're wondering about the illustrations. So here's the explanation. They are done by Harry F.

Therefore, I'll draw the pictures; you'll build your column around the pictures." * * * And that is one excuse for the incoherency of this article. Another excuse is that the subject was selected by one of my suite-mates. Imagine calling a tough private a suite-mate. * » * Today's lecture is on chivalry, which is nothing more or less than the way a man acts toward a beautiful stranger. Some people think chivalry is decreasing. If so, it's not because women are after equality. It's simply because ewomen are losing their sex appeal. . * * * Our grandmothers wore so much clothing and concealed themselves so effectively that grandfather was able to use his imagination. a good make-shift for a scarecrow.

But what I don't understand is why this should cause so much alarm. People used to think that to be chivalrous was to be noble. Yet many realists think the object of being chivalrous is to make one of the opposite sex feel as if he or she is depicted in one of these illustrations. * * » Furthermore, they say, even if men are less chivalrous generally, the practice will never become extinct.

Rear Gunner Receives DFC For Heroic Action Seldom are the heroic deeds of the rear seat guners of torpedo planes given the acclaim which is due them. One such rear gunner was Harry H. Ferrier, Rm3c, USN, nineteen-year-old sailor. In the battle of Midway, Ferrier kept his guns smoking under the most terrific kind of pounding from enemy fighters and ack-ack from the ships below. With coolness and complete disregard for his personal safety, he fought off overwhelming numbers of the enemies and made possible the torpedo attack his skipper delivered on the enemy carrier. For his intrepidity, Ferrier was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. RHAPSODIZINGS (Continued from Page 2) righteousness according to Shakespeare, but I think chivalry is. If,- by being chivalrous, a man can make somebody feel good— and he isn't exaggerating when talking to his dream girl — why go to it. There are too many people who need to feel good more often. * * * Finally, a word to the girls. Men will be chivalrous only when they think the women appreciate it. When they try to help you do something you could do with both arms in a sling, don't look like you're thinking, "You silly fool." * * * You might even go a little farther and let them out drink you every once in a while. Ida Vacates; Boss Shoots Around Her Lupino Ages 10 Years In Week's Absence The fact that movie scenes are seldom shot chronologically often makes a picture seem plotless and even senseless during" production. And sometimes this confuses even the stars who work in these pictures. A good example is Ida Lupino's embarrassment when she returned to the set of "The Hard Way" after a week's absence. When Ida left the show, the scene was a cheap and smelly kttchen in the coal mining town of GreenhiU, Pa. Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson, small-time vaudeville actors, had just, arrived in town, and Carson was displaying an inter-e ^ ^ n Joan Leslie, who plays Kla's sister. Filling in during Ida Lupino's .absence, Director Vincent Sherman "shot around" her, with the result that when she returned these things had happened: Joan Leslie had become a Broadway musical comedy star; Jack Carson had committed suicide; the locale of the picture had moved to New York City; Dennis Morgan had become a band leader; Joan and Jack had learned and performed an expert rhum-ba act; and Ida herself was 10 years older. The first day she looked in on the set, she found 50 chorus girls doing a production number, and costume d«Signer Orry-Kelly waiting to get her approval on 23 new gowns. Then Ida put on her gingham SHORT TERM LOANS MO RED TAPE On most anything of value. Opelika Pawn Shop Corner Clement Hotel . FOR SALE: Tennis racket. New strings. Call 9144. Carl Sel-lars.

Meade Leads Songs For Singing Sixth During the road march that followed the afternoon's PE last Friday, the Sixth Company - of the STARs earned for itself (he title of "The Singing Sixtn." During the entire march, the company was singing, led by Private James Meade. Starting out with "The Ferryboat Serenade," Private Meade was quickly joined by other members of the company. The singing being successful, Meade then led the group into the famous Brown College song, better known as "Bye-low My Baby." Meade sang the solo leads, with the rest of the company joining in thunderously on the chorus. The leads went on and on. Meade seemed to know an almost unlimited number of them. Sometimes they were so funny that the company could scarcely carry on the chorus because of the laugh-, ter provoked by Meade. Then came the inevitable "Madamoiselle from Armenti-eres" (Hinky-Dinky Parley-Voo). Here Meade's wit blossomed forth in its most amusing aspects, for several of the verses were at the expense of , the lieutenants and- Captain Whitley himself, who obviously enjoyed the ribbing. Private Meade is a lanky, straight-haired lad from Orsonia, Conn. Prior to army life, he was a steel worker. His four months of army life were spent at Camp Croft. He has had no training in music of any kind. The humorous and sometimes ribald verses of his songs he says were made up by himself and his buddies mainly at Camp Croft. His main interest is not in singing or music, but as he says "getting a furlough." "Next to wives, sweethearts and letters from home, among things our soldiers mention most is Coca-Cola. Of course, our fighting men meet up with Coke many places overseas. But Coca-Cola got there first. Yes siree, Coca-Cola has been a globe-trotter since way back when. It has been sold in more than 100 foreign lands. "Even with war and so many Coca-Cola bottling plants in enemy-occupied countries, our fighting men are delighted to find Coca-Cola being bottled right on the Aspot in so many places around the globe. And doffiey go for it when they find it! Who doesn't?"
