              MSK*8 NightlTTi^ Yuxin&iYicurv Both Sections of Co-ops to Have Vote;
Special Election to Be Held March 18
All candidates for offices in the Spring Elections, with
t h e exception of those seeking publication posts, must meet
the Qualifications Board next Tuesday night at seven o'clock
in t h e Executive Offices.
The date was chosen by the Student Executive Cabinet
at a meeting yesterday afternoon.
The Qualifications Board is com­posed
of both student and facul­ty
members, and the senior rep­resentatives
to the Cabinet sit on
this body.
Candidates must bring to this
meeting a statement from the
Registrar's Office stating which
class the student is registered in.
Politicians will be questioned
by the Board as to their fitness for
the office sought, their plans if
elected, and their ideas of student
government in general.
The Qualifications Board was
set up two years ago to improve
the general caliber of office-seekers,
and has functioned at
elections since.
Co-ops to Vote
The Cabinet also made provis­ion
for both sections of co-ops to
vote in the Spring Elections this
year. The group now in school
will vote on March 18, and the
ballot box will be kept sealed un­til
after the regular elections on
March 24-25. Permission was
granted by the Cabinet for this
special election for this year only,

ENGINEER STUDENTS
MAY ENLIST IN
SIGNAL CORPS
Juniors and seniors in non-
ROTC courses may now register
in the Signal Corps Reserve and
remain in college until they have
completed their academic courses.
This announcement was received
from Colonel John J. Waterman,
Commandant. The orders pertain­ed
to those students taking Elec­trical
or communication courses.
Those students who meet the
qualifications and are selected

their course will result in their
discharge from school and their
draftment in one of the armed
forces.
If they successfully complete
their academic courses they will
be tendered commissions in the
Army of the United States and
discharged from enlisted status.
Those students who are inter­ested

R.O.T.C. Rifle
Team Organization
Is Announced
The R. O. T. C. rifle team, al­though
not active last year, has
been reorganized this semester
and will participate in a number
of contests with riflemen from
other southern schools in the
near future.
The expert marksmanship of
Auburn teams has gained fame in
the galleries for them in past
years.
Returning this year as the only
lettermen on the squad are Al­fred
Green, J. P. Lewallen, and
C. U. Smith. Other team members
have had practically no exper­ience'
in gallery shobtttlg"Shd
therefore cannot be counted upon
too heavily for some time.
The present team of fifteen
men is composed of the following
men: Oliver Board, C. U. Smith,
L. V. Tindal, J. P. Lewallen,
George McBride, and Clarence
Scarsbrook, seniors; Alfred Green,
George Mallory, and John San­ders,
juniors; P. W. Lett and
James Mayes, sophomores; Aub­rey
Craig, Kenneth Bateman, L.
L. Jackson, and W. C. Murray,
freshmen.
Lt. Marion R. Panell and Lt
George L. Shumaker, both of
whom are excellent marksmen
themselves, have done fine jobs
of coaching the rifle team which
already shows promise of being a
most outstanding, outfit.

societies which have not yet turn­ed
in their reports to King must
do so tomorrow. The reports are
to be given to him at the Phi
Delta Theta house, and he will
present them to the cabinet com­mittee
in charge.
The purpose of this survey is
to determine the activities and
aims of the various organizations
on the campus to see if some of
the duplication of these societies
can be eliminated. The letters
from the cabinet asked for a re­port
stating the meeting program,
the purposes, the aims, and the
activities of the organization in
question. The replies to these let­ters
will be turned over to a
faculty committee, not yet ap­pointed,
for study and recommen­dation.
King urged that all the groups
who have received letters from
the Executive Cabinet make cer­tain
that their replies were in his
hands tomorrow, Saturday the
21st, so that action on them may
go forward according to schedule.

The Quarter Systenri as a Student Problem
While faculty committees are spending
long hours working over course and sche­dule
revisions which the change to the
quarter system will necessitate, students
do not seem to realize, in a large part,
that they must make some changes them­selves.
Of course, fraternities have become
aware that they face a real problem, and
possibly some few have already accom­plished
the laying of the groundwork for
the new plan. Many others have talked
over the problem, and are planning to get
busy "sometime soon".
But as far as the student body in general
is concerned, there seems to be a lack of
awareness. Plans are going ahead for class
elections, but as yet there has been no
requirement that an office-holder must
stay in school for the four quarters. We
are not saying that this should be done,
but we do believe that provisions should
be made for a substitute.
This is especially applicable to the pub­lications
heads, if they are to run on a
twelve-month basis. Action should be
taken on this before experienced students
are out of school and the job is in the hands
of students who know little about the
problem. H.M.
Still Time to Contribute Books to the USO
We have no idea of the extent of stu­dent
cooperation in the Auburn Rotary
Club Book Drive which ends today. We
hope that students have contributed as well
as have townspeople.
The Rotary Club instituted the drive in
Auburn, in line with a national Victory
Book Campaign. All books collected in
the drive will be forwarded to army camps
in different sections of the country, and to
USO recreation centers in the cities of the
nation. •
The Rotary Club is to be highly com­mended
for its part in this drive. The
distribution of books and reading matter,
both fictional and non-fictional, among
men in the service of the United States,
seems almost as important to us as does
the purchase of defense bonds—and a lot
less selfish.
Good reading material for soldiers
should do much toward keeping army and
navy morale up to the pitch necessary for
good military service. Army camp libra­ries,
and USO libraries the nation over
seem to be lacking in such reading matter.
It's not too late for students to contribute
books. Any kind of book will do, although
fictional contributions are preferred. The
drive doesn't end until tonight, and the
collection centers in the College Library
and Ward and King's uptown are conven­iently
located.
What's the Use of Air Raid Precautions?
Students met Tuesday's Air Raid set-up
story for Auburn with a laugh. "What
possible good," the majority queried, "will
something like that ever do Auburn?"
There are two answers to that question
—both of them deal with things. in the
future, and consequently, both of them
may be a little obscure to college students
who develop the habit of ,iooking no fur­ther
into the future than the next week­end
or the next quiz in a course.
Our answer number one would be some­thing
like this: Auburn is an institution of
higher learning, established originally for
the purpose of training students in things
agricultural and mechanical. Since 1872,
however, Auburn has developed into a real
university.
Auburn has accepted the idea of modern
educators that education is preparation
for life. We of Auburn are the future
citizens of the nation. Many of us are
the future officers and soldiers of our
nation's army, but perhaps more are among
those who will stay at home and help
supply and equip the soldiers. It takes
about twenty workers at home to keep
one soldier fully prepared in the field.
For the next few years, or until the
end of the international crisis, most of
our lives will be devoted to the nation's
policy of keeping those soldiers fighting.
Consequently, most of us will be in
towns and cities and defense factories
where air raid precautions may become
absolutely necessary.
Should Auburn as a training institution,
allow her students to graduate untrained
in these precautions? Should we as stu­dents,
laugh at anything which might pre­pare
us to save lives on the home front?
This air raid system of Auburn's, if it
had no further purpose than to train Au­burn's
students as to what to do in case of
such a raid, would seem to us to be all-important.
The answer number two to the question
may seem even more vague to the casual
student mind—but it too, may become an
actuality.
Auburn is, as we have said, a training
institution. Auburn is training not only
future officers and soldiers, but also fu­ture
industrial leaders, future defense
engineers and workers, future doctors and
nurses, future cogs in a national defense
machine.
There is a bare possibility that somer
where in the back of Herr Hitler's mind,
or somewhere in one of the L.Y.B.'s war
plans there lies a plan to put out of opera­tion
the colleges and universities of this
nation—or at least those which are train­ing
these future home front fighters. If.
there is such a plan, then there's no reason
why Auburn shouldn't be one of the first
to go.
That's just a bare possibility, you say.
Perhaps it is. Even so, it is a possibility.
Although we have no defense industries
here, although Auburn is comparatively a
"one-horse" town, although there is no
strategic military objective in this vicinity,
Auburn might be subject to an air raid.
The town is strategically located. In case
of an attempted invasion of this country,
it might make a fine base for some enemy
operations. We're to have an airport here
capable of handling even some of the
largest planes. We're only sixty miles
from Montgomery and Maxwell Field. We
are only thirty miles from Ft. Benning.
We're only a little over a hundred miles
from Birmingham. We aren't over seven­ty
miles from Childersburg. We could be
in deep water.
So why shouldn't Auburn consider the
possibility of an air raid? And why should
not Auburn be prepared for such.
It doesn't seem to be such a laughing
matter.

To the Students
Funds For The "Alabama Farmer"?
The following letter, although written by a member of The Plains­man
staff, does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editor or
follow the editorial policy of this paper.
The information found in it was furnished its writer by B. B.
Williamson, Editor, :pf the Alabama Farmer. The writer, John Scott,
Jr., merely states these facts and the plea of the Farmer staff in his
letter.
It is published here as a letter to the editor, merely for the con­sideration
of the students of Auburn.
The Letter To The Editor
"Dear Editor: ' ; ' * '
"There are on the Auburn campus three student publications of
first rank: The Plainsman, student newspaper published twice weekly
and circulated .to the student body and exchanged with the publi­cation
offices of other schools; the Glomerata, student annual which
each student pays for upon registration; and the Alabama Farmer,
student periodical in agriculture published monthly by students in
the School of Agriculture, i
"The organization and service of the first two of these publi­cations
are familiar, to all of us, but the set-up of the Alabama
Farmer is but poorly understood .except among the students of
the School of Agriculture. Now, however, the support and continuance
of operation of this magazine have become a matter of concern to us all.
One And Only
Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by
mail: $2.50 per year, $1.50 per semester.
"The Alabama Farmer is in its twenty-second year of publication
as the only student agricultural periodical in the state. During those
twenty odd years the magazine has grown in size, circulation, and
quality. • There have been many improvements made in these years
including the use of first-grade paper, use of pictures, and publication
ot studeht-written feature articles of interest to^both student and
practicing agriculturists. During those twenty-two years the Alabama
Farmer, although comparatively unknown to most of the students not
taking "ag", has become a symbol of Auburn's leadership in the field
of agricultural education.
"The magazine is published monthly, and each month's issue ex­ceeds
one thousand, for circulation-to the students interested in it,
for circulation to interested agencies of the college and state, and for
exchange with similar publications of the agricultural schools of other
States. The Alabama Farmer is a member of the Agricultural College
Magazines association, membership in which is limited to leading
magazines in the field.
"This record, and the progress that has lead to it, has been com­piled
without any support by the school. The magazine has been
strictly a student publication and has been financed by the advertising
and circulation which it has built up. Such a policy has unquestionably
contributed much to the liveliness and interest of the staff members,
but it cannot be continued. The Alabama Farmer has managed to
keep a financial balance during its past twenty-two years through the
sources of income mentioned here, but the cost of publication has
risen at least thirty per cent. There are two alternatives for the
magazine, each of them highly objectionable, unless financial aid
is furnished. :
Two Alternatives
"First, the Alabama Farmer can raise subscription and advertis­ing
rates to meet increasing costs. But, this cannot be done on con­tracts
already let, and cannot be done without a loss of advertisers.
Neither can this policy be followed in regard to subscription rates
with any degree of success. The subscription charge furnishes very
little of the magazine's income and many of the subscriptions have
quite a while to run before renewal and the increase can be ef­fected.
It must be remembered that the magazine is circulated to the
Auburn students who are interested free of charge.
"The second possibility is a drastic" reduction of standards and
materials to meet the relatively decreased income. This would be
objectionable for the Alabama Farmer is the voice of the students
in agriculture as pertains to their development as leaders in the
field. After having built the magazine to first rank in its line, it
would hardly be "right to force it to take the back seat for similar
publications by schools who support their magazines as part of the
student-supported publication program.
It's Up To The Students
"The answer to the problem lies with the students of the college.
The staff of the Alabama Farmer, a staff whose services are entirely
gratis, has advanced the plan of utilizing a very small part of the
student activities fee, from which The Plainsman and Glomerata draw
support, for the continuance of publication. A« little as 4% of the
student activities.fees would enable the magazine to continue publi­cation
with no slackening of standards or lessening of circulation to
the farmer friends of the college. •
... "The Alabama Farmer is, of course, a specialized magazine. It is
intended to be so, and is of primary interest only to one branch of
the college. That this school is one of the largest and its services one
of the very ones for which the college was founded is equally true.
It is up to the students and administration of the college to decide
whether or not the support of the Alabama Farmer shall in a small
way be shouldered by the entire school.
An Intensive Program
"We realize that the next few years will see the entire nation
launched on its most intensive agricultural program, and we all
hope and expect Auburn to take its place among the leaders of
this. Why can't we all make an effort to thus support one of the
most progressive signs of student accomplishment by the students
of agriculture at our own college. It is more than merely an ex­cellent
advertisement for the school; it is proof that reminds a
thousand people each month that Auburn is alert and on the job,
a maturely developed institution.

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.
Too many organizations on the
campus seem to be following a
policy of "we've been here for
years and we don't need to sub­mit
a statement for the Executive
Cabinet's inspection to stay here."
* * *
The fact that many of these or­ganizations
accomplish a worth­while
purpose will have no weight
with the Cabinet if such organiza­tions
should ignore the request
for a statement of worth and ser­vice.
Although the Cabinet does
not plan to frown upon any group
which can justify its existence,
even slightly, it sees the need for
more rigid requirements for rec­ognition
of an organization on this
campus.
* « *
It means business, and you can
file that under True Statements.
Although it won't kick out any
organization w h i c h is active,
merely because it duplicates the
work of another, it will allow no
new group to come on the cam­pus
which duplicates the work of
some existing society.
* * *
And organizations which do not
submit statements will be judged
inactive, and will be treated as
newcomers, should they care to
petition the Cabinet later for
recognition. And no organizations
of the types being examined will
be placed on the recognized list
which do not write up the re­quested
information and turn it
in to the Cabinet committee,
which is headed by Pete King,
who will receive these statements
at the Phi Delta Theta house.
* * *
It would be a little difficult for
the Cabinet to ask any society,
which does submit a statement, to
discontinue its activities, if its
existence can be justified in any
way, but it won't be hard at all to
refuse a petition of membership
to a group which the Cabinet
feels would not fill a definite gap
in Auburn's honorary society
program.
* * *
If you are in doubt as to classi­fication
of any group to which
you may belong, and if you are
not sure whether or not you will
be required to submit a state­ment,
the safe thing to do is to
ask Bill Moore, president of the
Cabinet. If your organization is
not a social fraternity or sorority,
and if it is not directly needed
for the success of some school
activity, such as glee clubs, band,
or dramatics, the chances are
you'd better be working on that
statement.
* * *
Don't forget to watch your cal­endar
for developments. Tomor­row
is Feb. 21.
* * *
And that's the story. And it's
up to you.
* * *
Point of scenic interest . . . that
little bungalow from which
Squires sold tickets in front of
the Main Gate to the Rollin'
Rhythm affair.
* * *
All of this stuff about what to
name the New Classroom Build­ing
may be a lot of stuff, but we'd
like to see it christened some­thing,
even with a bottle of Coca-
Cola, which is getting to be as
rare as champagne ever was. We
don't care whether they call it
Socrates' Structure or Plato's
Place, but we'd like to see it
named.
* * *
We'd hate to see it still called
the New Classroom Building
when it gets to be as old as Broun
Hall.
* * *
And Broun Hall is really red.
That oughta make Ripley.
* * *
And to the politicians . . . don't
be too free with those campaign
promises. It's disgusting how
some people always seem to re­member
them when you get in
office.
* * *
To the voters . . . it's no use to
lock the door, plug up the window,
and crawl under the bed to study.
It's just that season of the year.
You can't keep the candidates
out.

Here, There, and Elsewhere
By JOHN SCOTT, JR.
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.
This week has been a sad one
for all of the Allied Nations, but
it has been an especially bitter
one for Britain. For this week
Britain's faith in everything Brit­ish
has been shaken to the core.
From this week we can date any
change that may someday,be ef­fected
in the whole system that
runs England.
Two weeks ago the British had
faith in the fact that their navy
was still supreme, that it could
indefinitely bottle up the sea
power of the Germans. Two
weeks ago they still had faith
that Singapore would hold India
and the East for them. Two weeks
ago the only trouble in Australia
was an intra-camp argument
about who was going to be "quar­terback"
on the Empire team in
the Pacific.
All that is gone now. The war
in the Pacific is virtually lost,
though not finally as long as Aus­tralia
remains free. And, the com­ing
Battle of India is beginning
to develop in the jungles east of
the Burma Road. England has
learned that its best to date has
not been good enough. Its Prime
Minister seemed lifeless as he ad­dressed
the people last week. He
did not give them the fighting
speech, the assurance of stopping
violation of ration law by the
wealthy, the promise of immedi­ate
reprisal. He could not.
England's Uncle Sam
All that their leader could say
to the people of England was that
all was not lost because Uncle
Sam was not ready to cry uncle
by a very great deal. He appealed,
not to the fighting spirit of a
misled people, but to the United
States for aid and protection. The
reason that Winston Churchill did
not mention the fiasco in the
Channel, when the pride of the
German navy spurned the best
that Britain could offer, was that
there was nothing he could say.
There was no explanation. The
facts were plain and clear, no
matter how hard they might be
to take.
Cabinet Shakeup?
The change in tenor of the Brit­ish
government that will come
sooner or later was sending out
advance notices this week. Pres­sure
for removal of the dead wood
from the cabinet became intense;
pressure for the appointment of
vigorous, liberal Sir Stafford
Cripps to some high post likewise
became intense. The British peo­ple,
slow though they may be,
were beginning to see the hand­writing
on the wall. They had
hoped that there was no such
animal as total war, but there is.
They had clung to the idea that
after all such a thing could not
happen there, but it can and very
likely will if we over here don't
stop it. They still clung to the
philosophy that nothing could be
done that hadn't been done be­fore,
and once again it betrayed
them.
With all of this happening, even
the most complacent of the
British saw that their govern­ment
had been at fault. It had
committed once more the pecul­iarly
British sin of underestimat­ing
the enemy. Singapore and
Malay will some day be regained
at a conference table, if the U. Sr
can swing the job; but the British
system of securing high office be­cause
Uncle Joe once held the
same post will never come back,
if the British people have learned
one lesson from all this.
Sub Activity
This week the Germans have
again unleased their sub packs to
hunt down Allied shipping. The
British report sighting a fleet of
ten new under-sea fighters in the
Mediterranean, and the U. S. has
seen signs of even more of them
off its own coasts.
This double-edged cut at supply
maintenance seems designed to,
prevent effective use of American
material, when we finally get to
turning it out in really telling
amounts. If the Germans can dis­rupt
supply from America to the

Five Tigers Give Last Performance
Here; Team Leaves For SEC Meet
Five Auburn basketballers give their last performance
in Alumni Gymnasium tomorrow afternoon when Auburn
plays the second of a two-game series with Florida. First game
is tonight at 8 o'clock, and tomorrow's game will be played
at 4 P. M. in order to allow the Gator squad to catch a train.
The games also mark the curtain exhibitions by each
team in regular Southeastern Conference play. On Wednesday
morning the Plainsmen will leave by train for Louisville for
the SEC meet.
Hawkins. Manci Top Seniors
Topping the list of seniors are
Shag Hawkins, center and captain
of the '41 and '42 teams, and
Frank Manci, a regular for Coach
Ralph Jordan since his sopho­more
year. This pair currently
leads the Conference in scoring
and will be out to clinch the
honors in this final pair of league
games.
Other seniors at the end of
their basketball rope are Marvin
Motley, Ben Park and Jack Tan­ner.
Motley, a guard was a valu­able
guard on last year's Auburn
team and has played from that
position this year also. Park was
a guard in '41, but has been seen
as both guard and forward dur­ing
this season, showing effective­ly
at either position. Tanner, a
squadman for three years, has
proved dependable in a reserve
guard position and doubtless will
show in that capacity against
Florida.
Hope To Snap Streak
The Plainsmen hope to snap
the streak which has followed
them ever since their win over
Georgia a week ago. At that time
they held third place in the Con­ference.
On Saturday, however,
Mississippi sprang an upset in
winning by 41-40. Tulane was met
in New Orleans and Greenies
pinned on the fourth Auburn loss,
50-41. Then Louisiana State con­quered
the Plainsmen in Baton
Rouge by 63-49 and made it three
losses within a four day period.
This week-end's games will be
the fifth and sixth played in nine
days time for Coach Jordan's would have had to look hard to
Plainsmen, and the Plainsmen find a tougher closeout opponent.

HAWKINS OUT
Sometime during the latter part of next week (and the later the
better) five seniors will play their last basketball for Auburn. Four
are Jack Tanner, Frank Manci, Ben Park and Marvin Motley.
Shag Hawkins is the other senior. So now might be an oppor­tune
time to attempt a summary of the activities of Capt. Hawkins.
He is, they are saying, probably the hottest thing ever to play
a spot in Alumni Gymnasium.
Alumni Gym's history must cover a whole lot of basketball
players, a whole lot of games, and a whole lot of crowds dangling
from the creaking balconies. So we'd agree that out of all of the
basketball players who have played there there have undoubtedly
been some great ones. We haven't seen the others, but we'll ride right
along with those people who acclaim Hawkins as Auburn's best.
Because Shag Hawkins is the most deadly piece of basketball
machinery we have ever seen. We've watched him play a lot of
games and we have yet to walk in on one when he couldn't do
some entirely unconventional thing with a basketball—something
we hadn't seen before.
Last Friday night after Shag had scored 21 points in the win
over Georgia we walked about here and there and asked a lot of
people about him. We asked the freshman, the senior, the alumnus.
We asked Vic Costellos, Jim Samford, Pop Reynolds. A lot of
people.
"Have you ever seen a better basketball player than Shag Haw­kins?"
The interviewee would light up. It's a subject they like to talk
about around Auburn.
"No," said the frosh or the senior or the alumnus or Vic Costellos.
"No, I haven't."
Prejudice? Well, now, if Shag played with Georgia or Tulane
or Mississippi State maybe he wouldn't look so good. Maybe we'd
think him pretty fair, but nothing exceptional. But right here we're
echoing, we think, the reactions of the Auburn students who have
watched him play for four years.
Okay. You have your Glammack of North Carolina who went
out and racked up something like a 30 point average last year;
you've read about the number with West Texas State who throws
in 500 per season. We'll step out of the way for those of that category.
But where you see something like that you'll also see a system
where somebody can afford to go out and get the additional some­thing
that every All-American has to have before he can start tossing
'em in so fast the net smokes by half-time.
Shag's style of play is unique. It's either the most countrified
version of Dr. Naismith's brain-child ever to appear in public
circles—or it's so metropolitan that New York isn't big enough
for it yet. Nobody in these sections will profess to having seen
anything like it. It involves a running shot which starts from
two inches above the floor. It features a break for the backboard
that will make the most alert defensive man stumble and fall and
turn around in time to hear the swish. It utilizes a jump that
drags down a rebound before the opposing gents can figure the
situation out thoroughly. And it includes a swaggering, casual,
easy one-handed type of play which is as colorful as anything in
the business.
The Auburn basketball crowds hinge on what this guy does.
When Shag makes one of his spectacular breaks and leaves the
opposition scattered around the floor like the Autumn leaves there
is a gallery sound corresponding in its originality to the play. It's
a combined roar and laugh. A roar for the two points he's ju"st chuck-

Bengals Defeat
Plainsmen 63-49
In Baton Rouge
Louisiana State slid into the
fourth position in the 1942 South­eastern
Conference basketball
race Tuesday night as the Bengals
knocked over Auburn by a 63-49
score in Baton Rouge. It was the
third successive loss for the
Plainsmen and lowered them in­to
fifth place in the Conference
standings.
The two teams battled evenly
during the first half, left the floor
with L.S.U. on top, 26-25. After
the intermission, however, Au­burn
fell behind and the Louis-ianians,
led by Chaney, increased
their advantage to 14 points.
Chaney led all scorers for the
night with a 21-point total.
The Frank Manci-Shag Haw­kins
combine continued to func­tion
despite the loss, and the two
held their grip on the first two
places within the SEC individual
scoring race. Hawkins counted 14
points, Manci 10.
Outstanding also for the Plains­men
was guard Ben Park, who's
been playing from both guard
and forward positions throughout
the season. Functioning in a for­ward's
spot against L.S.U., Ben
showed himself as Auburn's most
improved player since his start as
a varsity basketballer. His scor­ing
total reached nine points in
Baton. Rouge.
The Plainsmen showed im­provement
over their Monday
night's form, but the barrage of
L.S.U. goals outdid their best
scoring efforts. Bass, a center,
and Morey, forward, combined to
score 30 of the L.S.U. total.

PLANNED PERMANENCE
When you decide to build a home of your
own, there are many factors that should
be thoroughly investigated and understood
before you sign a contract. The best way
to play safe is to deal with a reliable and
reputable organization. When you buy a
home built by The Auburn Ice & Coal Co.
you are sure of buying a home that will hold
its value and attractiveness indefinitely.
These homes are planned for permanence
and for genuine living comfort. There is no
trace of flimsy construction or inferior work­manship
in these homes. An Auburn Ice &
Coal Co. home is an investment in permanent
security. /

Punishment, Good Examples, and Training Program Discussed in Series
"Men Management" Article Continues
With Lecture Notes on "Discipline"
Discipline is the foundation upon which an Army is built.
It is the object of the leader through training to produce a
discipline within the unit which will insure cheerful and
conscientious performance of all necessary tasks under all
conditions. Discipline cannot be founded on punishment
alone. Obedience to authority is rather founded upon leader­ship
of such quality as to assist the adjustment of the indi­vidual
to the group and cause the group to want to abide by
the will of the commander. A
discipline of force which tries to
compel adjustment rather than
prevent maladjustment arouses
reaction and opposition. True dis­cipline
accordingly is the result of
volition and is gained through
building willingness, enthusiasm
and cooperation—never through
the fear of punishment. Such dis­cipline
is voluntary and is based
on knowledge, reason, sense of
duty, and idealism.
The proper function of punish­ment
under such discipline is to
act as a powerful stimulant and
reminder of the interest of the
group to its more backward or
egocentric members and to elimi­nate
entirely from the group those
few incorrigibles w h i c h may
threaten the morale of the entire
unit. The first rate officer will
avoid petty punishments. If he
has to punish he will punish hard
and after fair warning. Fairness
in the awarding of punishment is
essential. However, fairness does
not consist in always awarding
the same punishment for the
same offense under all conditions.
The offender's record and person­al
characteristics should be studi­ed
in each case and the punish­ment
awarded should be chosen
primarily with a view to correct­ing
the wrong tendencies of the
individual and making him a use-

ful member of the unit.
Duty should never be awarded
as punishment. One of the most
common violations of this prin­ciple
is the awarding of kitchen
police as punishment. Such prac­tices
tend to lower the respect of
the men for the duty and also
detracts from the punishment.
A good symptom of the state of
discipline in any unit is the
record of the absence without
leave. A study in the First World
War of 625 cases of absence with­out
leave showed that 247 were
due to the defects in the char­acter
of the offender; 160 were
connected with his conditions of
service; 186 were connected with
his family; and 24 connected
with outside matters, principally
women. Of those connected with
the service the great majority
might have been easily avoided
if the training of their units and
the leadership of their superiors
had been somewhat better. Of
those connected with family mat­ters
about half were due to the
illness or death of near relatives.
It thus becomes apparent that of
the cases studied probably about
two-thirds could have been elim­inated
by the commanders by
better instruction of their subor­dinates,
a better understanding of
their personal problems, and a
more careful application of the
principles of man management.
Setting a Good Example
The manner of the leader is an
index to his character and state of
mind and is carefully watched by
his subordinates. The leader's
manner is unconsciously imitated
by his men. He must, therefore,
cultivate a calm, controlled man­ner,
particularly under circum­stances
which appear to be un­favorable.
Few things can keep
up the morale of the troops bet­ter
than the realization that the
leader with full knowledge of the
difficulty of the situation neither
looks nor acts as worried as per­haps
as he has a right to be. The
leader's appearance, gestures, and
tone should give evidence of self-control.
His language must be
disciplined. He should speak
plainly and simply and use words
which he thinks the men he is

Profanity, if used, should be re­served

is never justified. It is
bitterly resented and the men are
not only affronted but are also

cheerful implies being optimistic
and an officer must have the
ability to see and emphasize the
brighter side of things. Men who
are in a cheerful and optimistic
frame of mind will stand up and
work or fight where men of more
pessimistic inclination will be in­clined
to shirk their duty.
The leader should set his sub­ordinates
an example of courtesy.
Real courtesy is simple, everyday
civility and has aptly been de­scribed
as the lubricant of human
relations. The official expression
of military courtesy is the salute.
An officer may usually count on
being rendered a salute in much
the same manner as it is the
custom to render it. A courteous
manner in his relationship with
his subordinates will increase
their self-respect and the respect
in which they hold their leader.
Loyalty is a quality of character
which any man must have in
order to be proper material for
development as a leader. How­ever,
it is not enough to be loyal
but is also necessary to appear
loyal. Loyalty must be not only
to the leader's superiors but also
to his subordinates and care must
be taken to avoid any action or
omission which may convey the
impression of disloyalty. While
loyalty on the part of men may
seem difficult to inspire, if an
officer is proud of his men and has
faith in their ability, they will
return his loyalty without hesi­tation.
The leader should never
give an impression of disloyalty
to his superiors by loose criticism
of them, especially in the presence
The Management of Men in Regard To
The Training Program Is Considered
The object of all military training is to promote fighting
efficiency. Fighting efficiency is promoted by imparting a
knowledge of the technique of fighting and by developing
the spirit and will to carry on the fight in accordance with
the orders of higher authority. In military training the
first mentioned of these considerations, imparting a knowl­edge
of the technique of the soldier's duties in war, is ordi­narily
given the larger amount of conscious thought, but the
second element is none the less
important. The development of
the spirit and will to carry on the
fight, that is morale and esprit,
is an object of all training but is
not limited to the hours specific­ally
allotted to training on the
daily schedule; it continues
throughout the day in the hand­ling
of the many details affecting
the soldier's life and environment
which are all a part of the prob­lem
of man management. Some
types of training, especially close
order, bayonet, and some other
drills, have the development of
discipline and the will to fight
as a primary object; some other
types of more technical training
also have special value in this
regard. Even the most technical
types of training can contribute
to increasing will to carry on
soldierly duties under combat
conditions if the soldier, as a re­sult
of the training, gains confi­dence
in his ability to do his part
and is shown how his work con­tributes
to the defeat of the
enemy. Training is facilitated if
the individuals are grouped in
squads which are not formed
alphabetically or according to
height, but rather by careful se­lection
with a view to easy mutual
adjustment and beneficial affects
on each other. S
In imparting the knowledge of
the technique of military duties
to the men, the leader must have
a detailed knowledge of the in­struction
to be given and an un­derstanding
of the methods by
which this information .can best
be imparted. This in itself in­volves
to a high degree the prin­ciples
of man management. The
time, location, and aids to be
used for the training should be
carefully planned. The informa­tion
should be given in simple,
clear language and with illustra­tions,
demonstrations, and checks
to see that it is thoroughly under­stood.
The use of questions is the
most common method of checking
understanding in cases where the
soldier cannot physically apply
the knowledge by doing. Ques­tions
should relate not only to
memory answers, but also to
thought answers, any necessary
assistance being given in the lat­ter,
often through appeal to the
other students. If an exercise or
drill becomes lifeless or mechani­cal
it should be stopped and vari­ed
in order to regain attention.
Boredom is one of the worst
enemies of the leader and can be
defeated only by intelligence and
imagination. The training pro­gram
"must be progressive and
keep the men adequately occupied
without normally being too se­vere
and exhausting. This is es­pecially
important in the training
of recruits and of men who have
of his men. If they come to be­lieve
that he is disloyal to his
superiors, they will doubt his
loyalty to them and their loyalty
will suffer correspondingly.

just been withdrawn from combat
action.
The officer should be a leader
in thought as well as in the activi­ties
of his unit. In this day of new
weapons and methods of combat
much can be accomplished in
gaining the confidence of his sub­ordinates
by gaining and passing
on to them an understanding of
the effect of new weapons and
means of combating them. In­struction
in the means of protec­tion
against air attack and tanks
and of counter measures to be
taken against them will increase
the confidence of the individual
soldier in himself as well as his
leader.
Organization of Working Parties
In the organization of a party
to accomplish an assigned task,
consideration must be given not
only to the problems of securing
the best work of each individual,
but also to those of securing the
best cooperation among the indi­viduals
with a view to the most
expeditious and efficient handling
of the job by the unit as a whole.
In so far as possible the habitual
organization of the unit should
not be disturbed and men should
be employed under their own
leaders. In many cases, due to
restrictions of tools or of the
working area, or due to the length
of the task, it will not be profit­able
to employ all the men on a
job at one time. In such cases
those men who can not be profit­ably
employed should be with­drawn
under their own subordi­nate
leader from the immediate
vicinity of the work site and
permitted to rest in an area where
they will not interfere with or be
disturbed by the work. If neces­sary,
rest should be enforced in
order that the men conserve their
energy for later tasks which may
be assigned. Although units which
are resting may act as a reserve
for security elements, the ad­vanced
s e c u r i t y detachments
should not themselves be consid­ered
as a part of the resting ele­ments
since these detachments
must be wide awake and con­stantly
on the alert if the object
of their assignment is to be ac­complished.

ed in—a laugh for the way he's made a fool of one or more opposing
players. That unorthodox gallery rumpus, known only to those who
know Auburn and Shag Hawkins, will come whenever he reaches
out with one hand to intercept a ball, whenever he shoots from the
shoestrings while on the dead run.
He had a neck operation during the Christmas holidays and
his scoring hasn't stood up alongside the high he chalked up in
1941. But he's still second in the SEC scoring race right now. Last
year he beat out Vanderbilt's Pinky Lipscomb and finished eleven
conference games with a 188-point total. His mark in all games
was 291. As a sophomore he made 163. This year, neck operation
or not, he's scored 163. His total for three years is 617, or an
average of 206.
Last year in Louisville the players began to get fidgety on the
day of the Alabama game.
"I hope Shag's hot tonight," they'd say.
Well, Shag's showing that night was a complete disappointment
to those who hadn't seen him and had been waiting for the oppor­tunity.
He scored four points, all on free throws, and fouled out
before the half. He was a broken-up boy as he sat at the end
of the court and watched Auburn founder its way out of the tourna­ment.
We wondered what he'd say about it after the game, and what
he said was something we were hoping for.
"Don't say they lost because I was out of the game. Give them
credit for what they did."
Shag has his bad showings. There'll be some nights when he
doesn't shoot any more than ten points—a low for him. So some­body
might tell you he was over-rated, that their team stopped
him cold. It's not hard to answer that.
Just tell 'em, "Well, brother, if he was over-rated—why did you
play three men on him?"
Chaplains Are
Needed By
Navy at Once
Now that the United States is
at war and the Navy is rapidly
expanding, several more chaplains
are needed at once in the U. S.
Naval Reserve it was announced
today at headquarters of the
Eighth Naval District.
Although the duties of Navy
chaplains are primarily religious,
there are additional duties to be
performed in connection with the
Navy's program for the advance­ment
of mental, moral and phy­sical
welfare of the officer and
enlisted personnel.
Vacancies exist in the district
for Protestant ministers of Metho­dist,

Treasury Department Gives Information
Concerning Students and the Income Tax
(Editor's note: The following
article is a release of the Treasury
Department of the United States,
of vital concern to students.)
This is a message to students.
Single persons or married persons
not living with husband or wife,
whose average earnings were as
much as $14.43 a week for the
year 1941, and married persons
living together who had aggregate
earnings averaging as much as
$28.85 a week for the year, are re­quired
to file Federal income tax
returns.
This year, more than ever be­fore,
the necessity for prompt ac­tion
in preparing and filing in­come
tax returns is apparent to
every one. It is estimated that
22,000,000 income tax returns will
be filed before midnight of March
16, 1942, and that of this number
7,000,000 persons will file income
tax returns for the first time.
If under the laws of the State
in which he has legal residence
the earnings of the minor belong
to the minor, such earnings, re­gardless
of amount, are not re­quired
to be included in the re­turn
of the parent. In the absence
of proof to the contrary, a parent
will be assumed to have the legal
right to the earnings of the minor
and must include them in his re­turn.
A minor, just as a person of
legal age, who is single, or is mar­ried
and not living with husband
or wife for any part of the tax­able
year, is required to render a
return of income if he has a gross
income of his own of $750 or over
for the taxable year. If the ag­gregate
gross income of such
minor from any property which
he possesses, and from any funds
held in trust for him by a trustee
or guardian, and from his earn­ings
which belong to him is $750,
a return, as in the case of any
other individual, must be made
by the minor or for him by his
guardian, or other person charged
with the care of his person or
property.
To assist taxpayers in the prep­aration
of their income tax re­turns
the Treasury Department
has issued a folder entitled "How
to File Your Income Tax Return
the Simple Way." It contains a
facsimile of the simplified Form
1040A and illustrates the six
steps required to prepare the re­turn.
Form 1040A may be used
by persons who are required to
file returns but who have gross
incomes of not more than $3,000
from salaries, wages, compensa­tion
for personal services, divi­dends,
interest, rent, annuities,
and royalties only.
For taxpayers not eligible to
use Form 1Q40A or those not
choosing to use it, Form 1040
should be filed. The last page of
the folder contains a table show­ing
the individual income tax on
1941 net income before deduc­tions
of personal exemptions and
credit for dependents from sala­ries
and wages of selected sizes
if Form 1040 is used.
