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.

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."

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.

Was There Ever
A Better Answer?
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.

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.

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.

"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

six times."

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.

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. But it doesn't
take away at all from the pride you've ac­quired,
in formal parades, in standing Retreat,
in your growing knowledge of the tools and
weapons of your new profession; and in the

knowledge of what those tools can do.
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.

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

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:

Rhapsodizings

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. 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.

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.
Then grandmother suddenly
got the idea that grandfather's
rut of life was better than hers.
So she began that catastrophic
stoeamlining of her bloomers and
petticoats b e-f*

' r\ they restricted

look! The mod-mademoi-

leaves so little
to the imagination that it's like
playing a game of bridge in
which all the cards are face-up

taken from the game.

beauties detected the trick and
started using only six yards of
cloth in their suits. 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.

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.

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

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

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.
And doffiey go for it when they find it! Who doesn't?"
