Blood For
Invasion?
NUMBER 17
Blood Donor Service
Comes In Two Weeks
Quota For County Is Five Hundred Pints;
Kappa Delta To Assist In Soliciting
In announcing the fourth visit of the mobile unit to Auburn,
Robert E. Smith, Jr., chairman of the Lee County Red Cross
Blood Donor Service, said that 500 persons must contribute
blood during the unit's two day visit, if the community is to
supply its share of the millions of pints of blood requested by
the Army and Navy to be processed into dried blood plasma.
An hour of your time, a pint of
your blood, can mean years of a
lifetime to a wounded American
fighting man. Donate a pint of
blood to the Red Cross mobile
unit when it visits Auburn on
April 18 and 19. It will toe turned
into life-saving dried blood plas­ma
for our armed forces, and the
blood taken at this particular
time will toe used for plasma for
the casualties which will be the
inevitable result of the European
invasion. You know many boys
who will be in that invasion—
your sweetheart, your husband,
your brother. Telephone the Red
Cross at Auburn 206 .or Opelika
815 today. Make an appointment
now to save a man's life.
Miss Betty Cosby, president of
WSGA, is chairman of student
solicitation, and Miss Margaret
Toomer is chairman of Auburn
solicitation. They are supported
by the Kappa Delta sorority.
Members of the sorority will be
at the picture show every night
this week and at the Main Gate
Booth today to solicit blood don­ors;
they are also canvassing the
women's dormitories.
Lee County's quota is 500 pints
and Auburn students want to put
that over the top. "You have not
finished your job, if you h a ve
donated blood only once," Mr.
Smith said. "You can donate a
pint of blood to the Red Cross at
eight week intervals, until you
have donated three times; after
the third time a period of months
must elapse before another dona­tion
is made."
Miss Cosby says "We realize
that the silver button donors will
not be able to give their blood
this time but we hope that new­comers
who may have been hesi­tant
before will come forward to
compensate for this."
The mobile unit will be set up
in the Baptist Church at Auburn,
Alabama. After the blood is col­lected
here, it will be shipped in
refrigerated containers to a pro­cessing
laboratory where the plas­ma
will toe extracted under direct

NOTED MEN TO
ATTEND VET
CONFERENCE
Dr. W. A. Hagan, dean of the
School of Veterinary Medicine at
Cornell University, and promi­nent
men from the Department of
Agriculture will attend a two-day
conference at the Auburn Re­gional
Research Laboratory April
13 and 14.
Other men, all from Washing­ton,
D. C, are Dr. H. E. Schoen-ing,
chief of the pathological di­vision
of the Bureau of Animal
Industry; Dr. Benjamin Swartz,
chief of the zoological division of
the Bureau of Animal Industry;
Dr. O. E. Reed, chief of the Bu­reau
of Dairy Industry; and- H.
W. Marston of the Agriculture
Research Administration.
Staff of the laboratory will con­fer
with these men on the past
and future of the Regional Lab­oratory.
Second Rabies Clinic
Because many requests h a ve
been made for a second rabies
clinic for dogs, the rabies inspec­tor
will hold a clinic Saturday,
April 8, from 1 p. m. to 6 p. m.,
in the rear of the fire depart­ment.
The present Alabama law re­quires
every dog over three
months of age to be inoculated
against rabies by the rabies in­spector
or a competent veterin­arian.
WSGA Offices
Filled; Cosby
Resigns WAA
Pat Kirkwood, Chi Omega,
Frances Williamson, Alpha Gam­ma
Delta, and Gwen Tucker,
Delta Zeta, were elected vice
president, secretary, and town
representative of WSGA at the
polls Tuesday. Betty Cosby, .vice
president of WSGA who was in­stalled
as president this week, an­nounced
her resignation as pres­ident
of WAA.
Over 230 votes were cast in the
election at Smith Hall Tuesday.
This special election was called
because three WSGA officers re­signed
from school at the end of
last quarter. Filling the office of
Audrey Wilson, former president,
Betty Cosby v a c a t e d the vice
presidency. Dale Garber, former
secretary, and Doris Ruth Beding-field,
former town representative,
also left their offices open when
they did not return this quarter.
Pat Kirkwood defeated her
only opponent, Mary Bowen,
POP, by 176 to 154-votes.
Polling 170 votes to her oppo­nents
154, Frances Williamson
won the office of secretary over
Betty Beall, Alpha Delta Pi.
Gwen Tucker became town
representative, defeating Margar.
et Toomer, Kappa Delta, by 24
votes to 17 votes.
Mary Jo Chiles, Alpha Gamma
Delta, has taken the office of
president of WAA u p o n Betty
Cosby's resignation because she
had too many points. Under the
present point system, 40 points
is the maximum number one girl
may hold at one time. This equal­izes
the distribution of offices
among coeds and limits the num­ber
of offices one girl may hold.
Since 35 points are g i v e n for
WSGA president, Betty Cosby's
points totaled more than the al­lowed
limit.
An Anniversary,
But Not A Happy
Thing To Remember
By Sarah Smith
April 6—anniversary of our en­try
into World War I—the War
To End All Wars. Twenty-seven
years have pulsed through Au­burn
since then, to the measured
strike of Samford clock, and the
twenty-seventh anniversary o f
our first entry finds our boys
scattered over the seven seas in
another struggle for democracy—
this time on a truly world-wide
scale.
The scene c h a n g e s , .times
change, and faces change, but the
same old War Eagle spirit still
burns brightly in the hearts of
everyone of her boys, from Kiska
to Timbuctoo! The day that war
was declared in 1917 electrified
the whole nation, just as did the
news of Pearl Harbor when it was
broadcast that Sunday afternoon,
December 7, 1941. We all hoped
vainly that it w a s o n l y a bad
dream and we should soon wake
up. In '17 however, the Auburn
student body did not assemble in
Langdon Hall to listen over the
radio to the declaration of war—
for there were no radios. Never­theless
the presence of WAR
struck deeply into the heart of
the campus. Things began to
buzz. Boys left school to enlist
in the Army, the Navy, and the
Marines. The campus felt a rest-

Spivey Unopposed As Glomerata Editor
We Can't Believe
That Shirley Smith
Is Really That Old!
The class that is held in The
Plainsman office on Thursday
afternoon took an hour off to
give a surprise birthday party
for Shirley Smith, managing edi­tor.
A lighted birthday cake and
ice cream were brought in, amid
rather off-key singing of the old
favorite, "Happy Birthday To
You!"
The office was almost quiet
for a change, as even the teach­er
was busy eating ice cream.
Patty McCoy, former managing
editor, who was visiting in Au­burn,
made the party a reunion,
too.
It is rumored that Shirley is
older than she will admit—her
birthday cake had only e i g ht
candles.
Don't Wait-Enroll
In That First Aid
Class Immediately
One of the most attractive op­portunities
at present is now be­ing
offered by the Red Cross col­legiate
chapter to the students of
Auburn. This opportunity is the
privilege of enrolling in one of
the first aid classes which are
soon to be organized. These
classes, to be conducted toy spe­cially
trained instructors, will be
held two nights a week at the
v a r i o u s women's dormitories.
Each class will last for two hours,
and the entire course will cover
thirty hours. Instructors will go
to the dormitories to h a v e the
classes, and each dormitory will
be allowed to select the nights of
the week on which it wishes the
classes to be held.
This course may easily prove a
valuable one. Not only would it
prepare the individual to render
temporary aid in an emergency,
but students interested in becom­ing
social workers, laboratory
technicians, or perhaps Red Cross
workers, will find this training
a great asset.
Groups interested in having
these classes started at their in­dividual
houses may contact Her­man
Dean, chairman of the corps,
at 790-W. The ideal size of a
group should be around twenty
or twenty-five persons. A certi­ficate
will be awarded upon com­pletion
of the course.
GRADUATING CLASS
DECIDES TO WEAR
CAPS AND GOWNS
Graduating seniors decided to
wear caps and gowns for gradua­tion
ceremonies, Tutter Thrasher,
senior class president announced
after a class meeting Tuesday aft­ernoon.
All candidates for degrees
should be measured for gowns,
even if they are uncertain about
graduation. Gowns are made to
order from Burton's Book Store
from April 6 to May 4, and are to
be paid" for upon delivery. Any
senior ordering a gown, but fail­ing
to graduate, will not be re­quired
to pay for the gown.

Business Manager Candidacy Still Open
Charles T. Spivey, Macon, Ga., and a j u n i o r enrolled in
Landscape Architecture, was the only student who successful­ly
met the qualifications of the Publications Board last Tues­day
night for the office of editor of the Glomerata and con­sequently
is unopposed for the office. Qualifications were sub­mitted
for the office of business manager of t h e Glomerata

Afraid Of The Big, Bad Needle?
Girls standing in line looked at
the half-filled tubes of blood as
the latest victims stepped out of
the doctor's office and shivered.
One came out smiling and anoth­er
barely got out and to the couch
in the waiting room.
"It doesn't hurt at all," said a
rather frail-looking girl, holding
her arm straight and removing
the cotton.
"My arm still hurts," said a
healthy-looking girl, anxiously
examining the mark for more
blood. There were those who
made use of the occasion for dra­matization
and t h o s e who
brushed the incident off as an
everyday matter.
Assisting with" the tests were
four laboratory technician seniors
who threatened some of their
friends in reprisal for misdeeds of
the past. But they proved entire­ly
capable. Assisting with the
tests for the first group of civilian
students were Opal Deason, Bil-lingsley;
Winnie Price, Ashford;
Polly McGinnis, Montgomery; and
Sara Bailey, Andalusia.
Blood tests for the second group
will be made from 9 a. m. to 11
a. m., and from 1 to 4 p. m., Mon­day
through Friday, April 10-14.
Students will be notified of their
appointment by postal cards sent
out from the registrar's office. In
so far as p o s s i b 1 e, the appoint­ments
will be scheduled so that
the student will not be forced to
miss any classes. However, where
this is not possible the student
will be instructed to present his
card, signed by the college physi­cian
and showing the hour of his
apointment, to his dean, in case
he is forced to miss a class. /

The Pleasure Was Theirs, Too—
"The infantry, the infantry, with the
dirt behind its ears—". The boys who left
Auburn for Camp Atterbury are getting
a taste of real Army life. After their
months as Auburn students, there are quite
a number of adjustments to be made. Many
of their friends in Auburn have been won­dering
about their trip up and the condi­tions
they found there. This letter, which
has been abridged, was received by a mem­ber
of The Plainsman staff from 'one of
the former ASTPs.
29 March
Dear Dottie,
I am tempted to say of Auburn, as I did
of the champagne, "It was good, but not
enough." My father has attempted to teach
me many things during the course of years;
one of the things he laid great stress on
was that I should learn to appreciate good
things while I had them, and not make
of them what the French aptly call "les
espYits d'escaliers." Even the small dose
of infantry life I've had in this short time
has shown me, with the poignance only
being deprived of something can show you,
how lucky we were. I knew it then, and,
I know it now.
In one respect the trip up here was a rev­elation.
It was the first time I was con­sciously
aware of the vastness (that's very
trite) of the U. S. If you ride from Ala­bama
to Pennsylvania the change is so
gradual and your mind so preoccupied that
you perceive on the one end red clay and
cottonfields, and on the other the rolling
hrils and lush fecundity of the Piedmont.
Yesterday I was in an especially receptive
mood and, despite the rain and hail, spent
a good bit of time looking out the window.
In the manner of a kaleidoscope, the red-clay
desolation of Alabama and the "crack­er"
hovels give way to the rolling hill land
of Tennessee, jack-pine gives way to de­ciduous
poplar and maple and oak; cities
and towns assume a whirlwind-mad-rush-
Yankee 'air; and yesterday the soothing
warmth of the Alabama sun was thrown
aside in favor of an ugly overcast sky, grey
and heavy-laden with sleet, cold and rain.
And then Indiana, true mid-west; flat, fer­tile
and prosperous. Whitman, Sandburg,
and Thomas Wolfe became more than
words—I was riding through the coastal
plain of Alabama, the undulating hills of
the Appalachian Plateau—you know the
paean Americana.
The complete lack of privacy that comes
with living in barracks is another thing I
must become acclimated to again. If I
need an excuse for any incoherence in this
letter, the ebullient spirits and rancous
group of my barrack-mates is it.
Has Your Patriotism Been Selfish?
Well, the ASTPs are gone. They swung
their dances, had their dates, and made
the girls of Auburn, apparently, very hap­py.
And now they have gone to see a bit
of the more active side of this war. Our
best wishes go with them.
That leaves three branches of the armed
forces still represented on the campus, and
approximately the same number of girls
are here as of last quarter. With military
restrictions imposed upon the servicemen,
and study hall hours and limited dating
privileges for the coeds, that makes for a
rather limited social situation.
We're all for entertainment of service­men.
What few hours on the week-end
that these men have off should be crammed
with as much fun as is reasonably possible,
but darned if we don't think one group
of the servicemen is being left out. It's
definitely not the Naval Cadets. There are
not many times we pick up a paper and
don't see where someone has entertained
the Alumni Hall boys with a party or other
function. And it's not the Vet ASTP boys.
They're about the largest bunch of original
pre-war students left on the campus, and
if they haven't already made the acquaint­ance
of the coeds they wish to know, then
there is small hope for them now.
We have reference to the Naval Radio
School trainees. Their course is just as
important, hard, and intensified as any
other course we can think that is taught on
this campus. True, they are only here for a
short period, complete their work and go
into active duty, but that is all the more
reason they should be shown the best hos­pitality
Auburn can produce.
We have seen several of those men come
back from active duty. And we do mean
active duty. A radioman is not the first
man off the ship. Remember that. He is
one of the last. He must stay until the
last hope for help is gone, until he has
given the message time after time.
Some of these boys are young—fresh­men,
if you want to call them that, but
they'll be seniors in experience long be­fore
many of us. Some of you, especially
girls, may have a young brother in the
Navy. Entertainment can dispel a lot of
lonesomeness.
We speak of Auburn hospitality. Hos­pitality
is like a balloon. One break in the
wall, and it doesn't hold air. Girls, get hep.
The Pleasure Was All Ours—
University of Alabama

Mr. Gibbs Ashley, President
Student Executive Cabinet
Auburn, Alabama
STUDENT BODY OF AUBURN:
We would like to take this means to
convey our appreciation for the cordial
hospitality and good fellowship extended
to us on our recent trip to Auburn, as rep­resentatives
of the University of Alabama.
It was a real pleasure to compete in an
athletic engagement with as fine a group
of fellows as we found in your school. All
of us were greatly impressed by the fine
spirit shown by the Auburn students. All
of the fellows who were representing the
University of Alabama wish to tell you
that they had literally, "the time of their
life" at Auburn.
It is our hope that in the near future
we can have the opportunity to repay each
of you for all your kindness. We hope
that athletic relations between the two
schools can be resumed in the immediate
future.
Sincerely Yours,

Around The Editor's Desk
While the ASTs are away, the officers will play. Or so it
seemed over the week-end. Privates were the rarity and bars,
leaves, and possibly eagles decorated the campus. One student
wondered out loud if this was an OCS or a college campus.
Others growled about the tactics of infiltration and wondered
when the invasion would reach the point of paratroopers via
chutes.
This could be an answer to the increasing social manpower
shortage, however.
We still say the trouble, if any, between Auburn and
'Bama does not exist between the two student bodies. Take a
look at the letter next door in the editorial column and form
your own opinions. Looks like they've got that old spirit, too.
Recently, a certain Auburn guy took a trip into the interior
of Georgia to visit someone in one of the colleges for women
in that fair state. It so happened that the college was swinging
a big dance, and had an elaborate leadout planned. Just before
the big event of the evening, the leading lady walked up, said
her date was too short, and wanted this big handsome Auburn
lad to lead the dance with her. Which he did. These men
from the Plains really rate.
And this office received a strange request last week. A
letter, short and to the point, stated that any picture received
that was of a likeness to the author of said letter should not
be printed under any circumstances, and explained that we
would readily see why when we first look at the picture. That
was all and we are still wondering what the future holds. In­cidentally,
it was a she.

Bullard field is as green as we have seen it in some three
and one-half years. Instead of the several thousand military
feet of '40 and '41 that kept the field down to a smooth carpet,
the old grass cutter is now being employed.
Remember how you used to read of the happy-go-lucky,
devil-may-care cowboys in the western books and magazines?
They used to roll wheatstraw fags with one hand, lick 'em, and
light 'em, all while riding at full speed on a galloping equine.
The colored man riding the gas-powered grass cutter seems
to have it down pretty pat also. He did the feat a few days^
ago while cutting the grass on the plot in front of Ross, and
he hardly slowed his steel steed down.
In a practice track meet Saturday afternoon between the
Naval Cadets of Alumni Hall and Auburn's track team, the
students trimmed the cadets by taking seven first places to
the Navy boys' two. They also placed more men in the rest
of the events than did the cadets. This certainly speaks well
for the training the track men get from Coach Hutsell. Any­one
knows that the Naval Cadets get plenty of hard, intensive,
physical training, and regularly.
Only a matter of days now until the girls again will invade
the dormitories. It's possible that the town will look again
like old times with the ferns strolling to and from classes
across the grass. Everybody take a good look at the grass in
front of the erstwhile ASTP headquarters and take another
look three months from now. We'll wager there'll be less
grass on the corners.

Ye olde managing editor, Miss Patty McCoy, dropped in
Thursday morning much to the overworked staff's pleasant
surprise, and began her duties as of old. Only catch is, she'll
be here just for this issue. We still can't quite forgive our ex-associate
editor, Ensign C. W. Horton, for marrying one of our
best staff members. If she makes as good a wife as she did
managing editor, then Horton has found his ideal.

Spring is here. Nothing else

Indicative of spring, too, are
the editorials on green grass and
students who still walk on it. The
superintendent of Building a nd
Grounds at Duke in an interview
with a Chronicle reporter on the
subject of grass stated, "There
has been a marked improvement
in the amount of grass trampling
done lately, but now more than
ever we should refrain from cut­ting
corners."

read, "The program, however
gone, is not forgotten. Here, as
well as at other higher schools,
faculties' eyes have been popped
open by the results actually
achieved with 30-hour curricula
and compacting of instruction in
a shorter length of time than was
previously thought feasible. New
teaching methods have emerged
in the year that the ASTP has
bene in full operation. Short-cuts
to language and other skills have
set the educators off on new ap­proaches
to learning." Does that
mean that we finish sooner or
that we learn more?
WE--THEY
By SHIRLEY SMITH
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.
The ratio of sorority to non-sorority
girls on the campus is ap­proximately
one to three. Yet, as
has been frequently, and some­times
bitterly, observed, most of
the women's offices are held by
sorority girls, in spite of their
minority.
"It just burns me up," said a
typical non-sorority girl, "to think
of how much the sororities get
away with just because they're
organized. If we independents
would organize, we'd get a lot
farther politically."
On many campuses the inde­pendents
are organized. They put
up candidates for office, line-up,
if necessary, with various groups
and are often successful in get­ting
their candidates elected.
"That's just what I think we
should do at Auburn," says Typi­cal
Independent.
Stick together. She means, of
course, for all the independents to
agree on one candidate whom
they wish to support and then all
vote for her.
We think the plan would be
feasible if it weren't for that
phrase "agree on one candidate."
Just how long does T. I. think it
would take to agree on one can­didate?
What would happen
would be this: A group of inde­pendents
would agree on one per­son
and then the others would
have to vote as they were told.
And voting as we're told is just
what we don't want to do. We,
as independents, like and want to
keep the privilege of casting our
vote for whom we darn please—
for whom we, as individuals,
think will make the best office­holder,
not for the person some
other fellow has chosen.
It may be hopeless, but we'd
rather vote for that person we
want to vote for even if that per­son
never wins an election than
to vote for someone we didn't se­lect
ourselves and have her hold
every office on the campus.

We've got the bicycles, the peo­ple

idea is one of the best we've
heard, and would be a good lick
if carried out. But remember,
boys, weeds sometimes material­ize
quicker than plans.

We know several coeds who
came back from a shopping tour

"A perfect gentleman," they
said, and explained how they had

at a flat tire when the Sergeant,
also on his way to Auburn, had
stopped and gallantly fixed it for
them.
"About ten minutes later," said
the girls, "we passed a big black
car stopped on the road and three
ladies were standing helplessly
looking at a flat tire. And offer­ing
to fix it for them, a little less
enthusiastically but with just as
much gallantry, was Sergeant
Fitzpatrick!"

Naval Cadets back to their ship
before they had seen the Alpha
Gamma Delta sorority's prize-winning
skit Thursday, March 23,
so the performance was repeated
by request of the cadets on the
following night.
Even then many of the men
could not attend because of re-trictions.
Again the Alpha Gams
obliged, staging the skit for the
third time, on Monday night. As
an added attraction the Delta
Sigs, winner of second place in
the contest, repeated their skit.

PiKA House
To Sponsor
Campus Hop
The campus hop, sponsored by
Theta Upsilon sorority last Sat­urday
night, proved that even
with no local band, no elaborate
deaoratidns, no ' flowing gowns
and tuxedos that the students can
have the same good time.
The success of these dances,
which will be continued as long
as enough students show an in­terest,
depends upon nothing
more than the age old desire of
the young 'uns to dance. And
after hearing of "the good time
had by all" last Saturday night,
when the Theta U girls initiated
the series for the spring season,
even more campus cats will want
to show up for the fun.
Next Saturday night the dance
is to be sponsored by the girls at
the PiKA house. The dance is
held at Alumni Gym with music
from the platters. >
Spread the word, everyone, and
lets get these informal dances go­ing.

A Kitchen Is Her Lab;
Food, Her Guinea Pig
Miss Dana King Gatchell Seems Always
To Have Time For One More Accomplishment
By Irene Long
"Bring some waxed paper, Somebody, and p u t over this
salad . . . A r e these your nuts, Sarah? . . . L e t ' s get this place
cleaned up because the n e x t class . . . "
Miss Dana King Gatchell, A u b u r n ' s Woman of the Week,
was standing at the refrigerator in the foods laboratory in
Smith Hall, her voice, strong and
authoritative, carrying above the
chaos of several classes at work.
A stalwart figure in white uni­form,
she was unperturbed by the
rattle of dishes and the hum of
the Mix-Master, the clatter of
voices that spoke in anxious tones
as coeds bent over the foods.
One girl laid thin slices of po­tatoes
on cloths which absorbed
the moisture before being dipped
in hot grease by another girl.
Squares of cake, some with white
icings and some with green, were
on one table and a bread batter
was being mixed at the other end
of the room. Miss Gatchell as­signed
a job at the refrigerator
and went to her office adjoining
the kitchen, advising and in­structing
as she progressed.
"Make Life Less Difficult For
Others"
She didn't seem to enjoy sitting
at her desk in the fairly quiet of­fice
to tell of her accomplish­ments;
she was anxious to get
back in the kitchen. A native Ala-bamian,
she was educated in the
arts at public and private schools
in Selma, specializing in music.
She is a member of the Metropoli­tan
Opera Guild. Her interest in
needlepoint began when she was
11 years of age and one of her
tapestries was presented to Co­lumbia
University, where she re­ceived
her B. S. and M. S. de­grees.
She did not begin her edu­cation
with the thought of study­ing
or teaching home economics,
but after the death of her father
she worked for her first grade
certificate, became the principal
in a two-room school near Ever­green,
where she remained until
going to Columbia. While teach­ing
in Alabama high schools, she
introduced home economics be­fore
it was introduced by the
state. She came to Auburn from
Louisiana Polytechnic Institute.
Her biography is listed in "Who's
Who in American Education,"
"International Who's Who," and
"American Women." Her hobbies
—collecting laces and menu cards,
oil painting, music (especially op­era),
teapots, and historical re­search—
touch on her various in­terests.
"Live most and serve best
to make life less difficult for oth­ers"
is her philosophy.
On her desk were Easter bas­kets
containing attractive foods
beautifully wrapped, made by
Miss Gatchell to give to friends
No Such Thing As Spare Time
Something demanded attention
in the kitchen and she excused
herself. After she saw that every
thing was going all right, she be­gan
helping with decorations for
the cakes, rolling an orange mix­ture
in the palm of the hand until
it looked like a carrot. Miss Gat-chell's
hands are beautiful and
capable; the long tapering fingers
are never stil. She had made a
dozen carrots, all nearly alike,
while the student at her side pro­duced
one that resembled a car­rot.
"You roll it around in the
palm until it is round, then make
one end smaller," she explained
with demonstrations. Laughing at
a question, she said to the assist­ant,
"She wants to know what I
do with my spare time. I don't
have any."
Famous among Auburnites for
her wonderful food and first-rate
table service she is a source of in­spiration
to home economics girls.
"You have to have a class under
Miss Gatchell to appreciate her,"
someone said. "She scared me at
first," said another, "but after I
got to know her, I found her to be
very kind and understanding." A
guide to -gracious living, she
teaches that home is wherever
one lives, even for a short while,
and that it should be treated as
such. She attributes her success
to "hard work and tending to my
own business."
"No," she said emphatically, "I
have never in my life entered into
any kind of competition. I crochet
and do needlework because I en­joy
it. I'll never enter any of my
work for competition."
She is not competing for any
honors, but she might well be Au­burn's
Woman of the Century.

the causes of mental and
emotional disturbances among
ASTP trainees, who were select­ed
by the Army because of ex­ceptional
intelligence and educa­tional
qualifications. Dr. B. R.
Showalter, professor of education
at Auburn and president of the
society, presided.
Thursday afternoon Prof. Wil­bur
Hutsell, Auburn track coach,
addressed the athletic coaches'

War Speeds Up
Progress In
Home Ec Field
"Advancement in the field of
home economics has been more
rapid in the five years of this
war than in fifty normal years
of peace," said Dr. Judith Bond,
head of the Home Economics de­partment
at Columbia University
who came to Auburn as a special
guest for the unveiling of the por­trait
of Miss Dana Gatchell.
"With the inventions and time-saving
ideas the war has pro­duced,
the release of critical war
materials will create a demand
for trained home economists both
to show industry the needs of
the home and to show consumers
how to apply the new inventions.
"Industrial feeding is the field
with the greatest shortage of
trained workers today," Mrs.
Bond continued. "Many girls have
gone into the services from this
field, leaving a great need for ho­tel,-
transportation, and war plant
dietitians and managers."
Dr. Bond advised girls to stay
in the field of home economics
rather than going into service.
"This, I feel, is not unpatriotic,"
she explained, "for many trained
girls have gone into the services
only to be put in some work re­quiring
no training. However, if a
girl trained in home economics
wishes to go into war service, I
advise, her to go into the Red
Cross or dietetics."
Dr. Bond is an Iowan and grad­uated
in home economics from
the University of Iowa. Later she
was sent to Columbia University
on a fellowship. Here she re­ceived
her M. S. and Ph. D. de­grees.
She has traveled in Europe
and was appointed to her present
position in 1937.

ALABAMA FIRST
IN COMPULSORY
BLOOD TESTS
Alabama is the first state to
pass a law making blood tests
compulsory for all residents. The
action is the result of the state
health department's all-out offen­sive
against venereal disease, the
control of which is among the
greatest problems of preventive
medicine and public health today.
"It is a problem of the entire
community," says Dr. B. F. Aus­tin,
state health officer, #"and for
its solution the combined medical,
public health, economic, social,
religious and educational forces
must co-operate."
The law states that "any per­son
who shall willfully fail or
neglect to comply with any of the
provisions of the act shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof, be fined not
less than $10 nor more than $100."

ONCE MORE, "HERE'S THAT PIECE
ABOUT A FARMER AND HIS MULE"
Ever so often we have a request
for an issue of The Eagle contain,
ing "that piece about a farmer
talking to his mule." This being a
Monday morning, to add to our
natural laziness, we hereby let
the farmer recite this monologue
for the benefit of those subscrib­ers
who want to clip the piece—
to say nothing of our own person­al
benefit:
"Bill you are a mule, the son of
a jackass, and I am a man, made
in the image of God. Yet here
we work, hitched together, year
in and year out, I often wonder
if you work me or I wdrk you.
Verily, I think it is a partnership
between a mule and a fool. You
work on four legs and I on two,
therefore covering the same dis­tance,
I do twice as much work
as you.
"We are now cultivating this
corn crop. When it is harvested I
give one-third to the landlord for
letting me cultivate this tiny
speck of God's creation; one-third
goes to you, and the balance is
mine. You consume your portion,
while I divide mine among seven
children, two dogs, six hens, two
ducks and a banker. If we both
need shoes, you get yours, Bill,
you are getting the best of me,
and I ask you, is it fair for a mule,
the son of a jackass, to swindle
a man, the lord of creation, out
of his substance? Why, you only
help to plow and cultivate the
ground, and I alone must cut,
shock and husk the corn, while
you look over the pasture fence
and hee-haw at me.
"All Fall and part of the Win­ter
the whole family, from granny
to the baby gotta pick cotton to
raise money to pay taxes, buy
new harness, pay interest on the
mortgage on you. And what do
you care about mortgages? Not a
damn, you onery, long-eared cuss!
I alone must worry about the
mortgage on your ungrateful
hide.
"About the only time I am your
better is on election day, for I
can go to the polls and vote for
old Bilbo and the other politici­ans,
and you can't. And after the
election I realize I was fully as
great a jackass as your papa. Ver­ily,
I am prone to wonder if pol­itics
were made for men or jack­asses,
or to make jackasses of
men.
"And that ain't all, Bill. When
you die that's supposed to be the
last of you. But me—well, the
parson says when I die I gotta go
to hell forever. That is, Bill, if I
don't do just as He says. And
most of what He says, and what
Henry Wallace says, keeps me
from getting any kick outta life.
"Tell me, then, William, how
you keep a straight face and look
so solemn. You've got a one-track
mind, Bill, you long-eared son-of-a-
gun. You think only of the horn
blowing for noon. And then,
while I'm going to the spring after
water, filling the wood box and
changing diapers on the baby to
keep family matters running
smoothly, you snooze in the fence
corner, under-lip and one hip
dropped, dreaming of doles, so­cial
security and old age pensions,
until I reach for your head with
the bridle, when bingo! you come
to life suddenly and I have to
chase you all over the lot.
"I don't think you are toting
fair, William."

Debater Visits Legislature;
Gets Real Dope On "Orators"
By Nick Nigosian
While attending the Southern Debate tournament and
t h e Congress of Human Relations at Jackson, Mississippi, I
decided to l e a r n how real debaters act, so I visited t h e Mis­sissippi
legislature.
The Mississippi capitol is like any old capitol building.
It has a dome, a right and left
wing and an extra added attrac­tion
— large spacious grounds.
Most of us have seen at least one
capitol building, and if we, have
not seen a capitol building in the
"flesh" we have, at least, seen the
picture of one.
Let us now examine the mass of
humanity which occupies the two
august branches of the capitol—
the house of representatives and
the senate. The senators and rep­resentatives
had voted to adjourn
the present session March 31, and
consequently were trying to rush
through important legislation so
that they could hurry home and
tell all the voters why they
should be re-elected.
Upon entering the senate, I saw
a group of men and one lady seat­ed
in the chamber. Nearly all the
senators—with the exception of
the lady senator—had their feet
propped on their desks and were
smoking cigarettes. One senator
was so tired he was resting his
mind by reading the comic page
of a local paper while a fellow
speaker debated. Some of the sen­ators
were walking around get­ting
exercise and talking with fel­low
members. Most of them had
their desks cluttered with bills
and papers. (Reminded me of the
Plainsman office at press time.)
As it was a rather warm day, the
senators were keeping the page
boys busy getting theirr cokes.
The loud speaker system didn't
work so well and I had to strain
my ears in trying to hear what
was going on.
The clerk of the senate was
reading senate bill No. 441 which,
translated from the legal lan­guage,
read: "A bill to raise the
amount paid jurors to the pre-depression
level." The clerk was
a tired man. He had been reading
many bills and had done much
roll calling in the course of the
day. The tone of his voice was
like that of a college professor
trying to put his class to sleep.
After debating for and against
senate bill 441, a vote was taken
and the bill passed.
The nexj; morning I visited the
house gallery. As it was Saturday,
the house was engaged in a huge
debate on whether or not they
should adjourn until Monday aft­ernoon.
They voted to adjourn.
This was for the convenience of
Still Plenty Of Time
Before Matrimony
Coeds at Montana university
don't believe in love at first sight.
And despite the wartime trend,
they're in no big rush to get mar­ried.
These facts are revealed in a
campus survey of attitudes to­ward
engagement and marriage
in a sociology class titled, "The
Family."
The conclusions were based on
the answers of 95 university
women proportionately allocated
among the four college classes.
A romantic 18 per cent of those
questioned looked upon "love at
first sight" as a requisite to- a
happy marriage, but an impres­sive
82 per cent thought there's
nothing to it.
The coeds agreed 25 is the ideal
marriage age for men, and 23 for
women.

members who wanted to spend
the week-end at home.
Upon leaving the capitol, I con.
eluded that if a debater developed
himself into a good enough speak­er
and got in with the right crowd
he might some day be a senator
or a representative.

Science And Beauty
At Last Is Taught
Class Plans To Give Fashion Show;
Emphasizes Posture; Studies Cosmetics
By Annette Cheney
Hollywood has nothing on A u b u r n for, l i k e that city of
glamour, Auburn, too, has a b e a u t y course. This b e a u t y course
is available to all coeds through t h e t h r e e - h o u r elective Per­sonal
Grooming. It is taught on Monday, Wednesday, and
F r i d a y afternoons from four until five p. m. b y Miss Jewel
Golden, instructor in home eco
nomics.
An outsider would have thought
he had invaded a bathing beauty
contest if he had walked in the
day posture was being discussed.
It seems that all girls wore swim­ming
suits and modeled them for
the class. The idea was to give
constructive criticism of each
girl's posture and walk. The prop­er
corrective exercises were then
suggested and given as part of
her homework.
The need for emphasis on
graceful carriage was noted at the
Glomerata-Blue Key Beauty Pa­rade
this year. Several would-be
beauties didn't meet the qualifi­cations
and were among the first
to be eliminated because of poor
posture and an unattractive walk.
Other things which are includ­ed
in this course and will be dis­cussed
are among the following:
cleanliness, complexion and its
care; hair, its care, and possible
arrangements; care and treatment
of the hands and feet; teeth; se­lection,
purchase, and care of
clothes, and social graces.
A number of practical demon­strations
will be given before the
quarter is over. Miss Golden
pointed out that cold creams
could be easily made at home for
much less money than the pop­ular
drug store brands. In the dis­cussion
of the care of the hair
directions will be given for mak­ing
an effective shampoo.
A fashion show will be given
for the benefit of the class. In
this show will be girls dressed
correctly and incorrectly for va­rious
occasions.
"This class has been quite popu­lar
with the girls in the past, and
we hope even more girls will join
our group of good grooming dis­cussions,"
said Miss Golden.
"We've even had several re­quests
from boys," she added. She
said that these requests might be
fulfilled through a similar class
taught exclusively for boys. This
probably won't be attempted un­til
after the war, but Miss Golden
thinks it would be an interesting
job as well as a worth while one
as "men, too, wear clothes."
Three Groups
MayQualifyFor
Commissions
Lt. O. H. Swayze, in charge of
officer procurement in Alabama,
has just released an important
announcement regarding qualifi­cations
for Naval commissions.
Aside from the continued ur­gent
need for chaplains and doc­tors,
commissions are now being
awarded to men in three groups:
1. In the technical field, chiefly
to chemists, metallurgists, a nd
engineers of all types. 2. In spe­cialized
fields, chiefly engine spe­cialists,
riggers, shipbuilders and
stevedores. 3. In the general
business fields, for a c t i v e sea
duty. (Men under 38 years of
age.)
Lt. Swayze, however, warned
prospective officers to consider
the high standards of the Navy
before making application for
commission.
Age and experience require­ments
vary, depending on the
commission under consideration,
but these are the essential needs
for cmomissioned personnel.
1. A college degree, though de­sirable,
is not required in a case
where practical experience in ci­vilian
life fits a man for the spe­cialized
work of the Navy.
2. Certain basic physical re­quirements
must be met. These
needs vary somewhat with the
particular billet involved.
3. Applicants must possess of­ficer-
like qualities. They must
have real ability, fine personal
honor and more than average ap­pearance
and personality.

Tippins Family Scores
Eight Out Of Ten
By Nick Nigasian
"My husband and I wish that
we were younger so that we could
enter the service". This is the
statement of Mrs. J. Tippins, 242
East Magnolia, eight of whose ten
children are either in the service
or in government work.
According to information re­ceived
from Mrs. Tippins, the fol­lowing
account of her family is
given.
Rankin Tippins is now a signal­man
second class in the South Pa­cific.
Rankin entered the Navy at
18, immediately after graduating
from Lee County h i g h school.
After being trained at Great
Lakes, 111., for the Signal Corps,
he was sent to the Aleutians for
an eight months' stay.
Hamlin Tippins, a first lieute­nant
in the field artillery, is now
fighting in Italy. He was in the
first group that invaded North
Africa and later Sicily. In 1942,
Hamlin received a degree in Ag
science, and went to officers'
training camp at Ft. Bragg, N. C,
and Ft. Sill, Okla.
Glenn Tippins is now located at
an Italian replacement center. He
was nearly thirty-seven when he
entered the Army in May, 1943.
After receiving f o u r months'
training at Camp Wheeler, Ga.,
Glenn was sent to the Mediter­ranean
Theater.
Phil Tippins is located in the
South Pacific with the A r my
Medical Corps. Phil attended Au­burn
and was taking horticulture,
but volunteered M a r c h 6, 1941.
After being stationed a t C a mp
Blanding, Fla., Camp Bowie,
Texas, Camp Shelby, Miss., and
having Army maneuvers in Lou-iF^
ana, he sailed overseas.
Jo Tippins is at Mare Island,
San Francisco, waiting to sail to
a Navy position in Hawaii. She
graduated from Auburn in home
economics and for the past two
and one-half years has been
working for the Farm Security
Administration, St. Croix, Virgin
Islands.
Minnie Tippins left April 5, to
enter Hunter College, a WAVE
school in New York City. In
June, 1943, Minnie finished at
API in landscape architecture.
Frances Tippins, formerly sec­retary
to the college b u s i n e s s
manager, W. T. Ingram, is now
stationed with a WAVE unit at
Pensacola, Fla. Frances took a
secretarial training course and
resigned her position to join the
WAVES in February of last year.
Lilie May Tippins is located in
Mobile with the extension serv­ice
of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute and the Department of
Agriculture.
Of the two remaining members
of the family, one is married and
the other is still in high school.
Mary Tippins is married and
lives in Birmingham. She married
Haskin Williams, an Auburn KA,
and now has a twelve-year-old
daughter.
Pat Tippins, 16, now attending
Lee County high school, wants to
attend summer school so that she
can finish high school and join
the Cadet Nurse Corps.
OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WOMEN
IN DENTISTRY _
Women dentists, as scarce now
as women welders were before
Pearl Harbor, will appear in the
future in ever-increasing num­bers,
Professor Charles W. Creas-er,
chairman of the pre-medical
and pre-dental committee at
Wayne university, predicts.
Professor Creaser points out
that of more than 1,400 dentists
now practicing in Detroit, only 12
are women, and that throughout
the country there are 35 men in
the profession for every woman.
"The skill which women in war
industries are displaying in the
manipulation of small tools,"
said Pofessor Creaser, "gives am­ple
evidence of their aptitude for
at least one phase of dental work.
Furthermore, we know that the
few women who have entered
the profession have proved excep­tionally
successful, particularly
in the fields of children's den­tistry
and orthodontia."
Dr. Creaser also emphasized the
existing need for Negro dentists,
both male and female, and quoted
Dr. M. Don Clawson, director of
dental education at Meharry med­ical
college, Fisk university, as
saying that there are only 2,000
Negro dentists, very few of them
women, serving the 12,000,000
Negroes in the United States.
The Rains Came—To Auburn!
Like the storied stars, rains fell
on Alabama. And they fell ar­dently
in love with Auburn, for
they lived on her doorstep all the
past month. Literally, we mean.
April showers may bring May
flowers, but all our recent March
downpours managed to bring out
were dripping umbrellas and
raincoats, dampened curls, and
wet feet.
The recorded rainfall for the
month was 11.87 inches — 6.10
inches above the average. The
heaviest fall was the 5.06 inches
showered down on us during the
24-hour period of M a r c h 22-23.
Prof. J. N. Robinson, Auburn's
weather man, tells us if we think
t h a t was prolific we should've
been on the campus in March of
'29, when 17.44 inches were re­corded.
But we're from Missouri!
termine basic requirements can
be arranged at the Office of Na­val
Officer Procurement, 601
Jackson Building, Birmingham 3,
Ala. Letters of inquiry will be
answered.

Track Team Trims Naval Cadets
In Practice Meet Saturday
Cinder Representatives Take Seven
First Places In Nine Events Entered
Auburn's track team met its first competition of the current
season last Saturday The competition was furnished by the
Naval Aviation Cadets. The event was not a regularly sched­uled
track meet but was a workout that served two purposes.
First, to compare the ability of both teams, secondly, to afford
a weekly record of the times for individual membfts of the
track team.
The Navy team was composed
of former members of other col­leges
and also of men. without
previous track experience. Many
of the V-5 participants showed
ability but lack of training spe­cifically
for track proved to be to
their disadvantage.
Six of Auburn's twelve men
who placed in events were fresh­men.
For many of the members
of the teams this was their first
competition. No dual meets have
been scheduled for t h e track team
but they will probably see action
in the SEC and the AAU meet.
Results are as follows:
Mile: Green, Auburn; Horton,
Auburn; Saffen, Navy. Time:
5 min., 54 sec.
440 Yard Dash: Carley, Au­burn;
Askew, Auburn; C a s e,

Time: 10.5 sec.
880 Yard Dash: Taff, Auburn;
Humbert, Navy; Crain, Auburn.
Time: 2 min., 9.1 sec.

Auburn Graduate
Is Vice-President
Of Allis-Chalmers
James Marvin White, graduate
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
in 1929, has been appoint­ed
vice-president and general
manager of Allis-Chalmers Com­pany
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
After graduating from Auburn,
Mr. White married Ruth Watson,
daughter of the former Mr. and
Mrs. Charles P. Watson of Mont­gomery,
and sister of Mrs. R. L.
D o u g l a s of Montgomery. He
started work with Allis-Chalmers
Company immediately upon grad­uation
and has worked up to the
position of vice-president of the
company.
Mr. White's home was formerly
in River Falls, Alabama. While
attending school here, he was a
member of fhe American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, fresh­man
baseball team, Auburn Play­ers,
Social Science Club, and the
Wilsonian Literary Society.
AN ANNIVERSARY
(Continued from Page 1)
less, feverish surge of wartime
activity.
At the beginning of the regular
session in 1918, the Army took
over the school's facilities to initi­ate
the SATC—a program of sol­dier-
student training, bearing lit­tle
resemblance to our late-and-
. lamented ASTP unit. As was to
be the case twenty years later, a
military air pervaded the college,
with reveille at 5:30 a. m.; break­fast
at 6; military drill from 7 to
8; and khaki-clad students march­ing
to classes throughout the day.
November 11, 1918, and the
Armistice, and Auburn, along
with the rest of the nation, went
wild with joy. Our boys were
coming back! Back to Auburn
they came, too. Classrooms filled
again, happy-go-lucky college life
was resumed, time marched on,
and through the years Auburn
kept building and building — ex­panding
more and more.
Once more our boys are off to
another war. Those of us left on
the campus are engaged in anoth­er
accelerated wartime program;
and hopes that another grim anni­versary
like April 6 and Decem­ber
7 wil never have reason to be
remembered. •

by over one hundred southern
college delegates and teachers.
John Nigosian received a cer­tificate
of merit from Prof. R. C.
Brand of the University of Ala­bama
for his work in the Con­gress
of Human Relations. The
organization of the congress was
similar in nature to our national
congress and consisted of a steer­ing
committe and committees on
labor, industry, agriculture, and
education. The representatives of
the congress brought up bills re­lating
to the post-war south. They
voted to send copies of resolutions
reached and bills drawn up and
passed to the various government
departments with which the bills
are concerned.
By this action the opinions of
a cross section of southern college
students will be voiced.
BLOOD DONOR

Army contract. From the labora­tory,
the dried plasma is deliv­ered
to the Army and Navy and
distributed to American f o r c e s ,
wherever they may be.
Plasma, Mr. Smith explained, is
the liquid part of the blood re­maining
after the red and white
corpuscles are removed. The na­tion-
wide blood collection project
was undertaken at the request of
the Surgeons General of the
Army and Navy by the American
Red Cross. A total of 5,300,000
pints of blood has been requested
to date.
More than 80,000 persons must
contribute blood to the Red Cross
each week to meet the requests
already made by the Army and
Navy, he added.
This appeal gives every able-bodied
resident of Lee County a
chance to help our men on the
battlefields and at sea. Warships
throughout the war z o n e carry
blood plasma. Every Army medi­cal
unit carries blood plasma with
it.

Doctor's Wives Have Nothing
On Coaches' Mates-Mrs. Voyles
By Dottie Woodall
According to Mrs. Carl Voyles, wife of Auburn's new
coach, doctors' wives have nothing on coaches' wives when
it comes to emergency schedule changes. She says it is an
unusual day when she knows just where to find h im at any
given time, or just when to expect h im home. Not t h a t that
is in the nature of a complaint—
she loves it. They met at Okla­homa
A. and M. College when he
was star wingman on the football
squad, and she was, as she says,
"taking science and literature—
a nice vague course—just taking
it; I won't say how well I did."
They were married in October,
after his graduation in June. He
started on a coaching job imme­diately.
Mrs. Voyles' blue eyes
showed a mirth indicating that it
was one of her favorite little jokes
as she told that he had said the
football job was for "only two
years." Only two years, and then
he would quit. "But his work is
just play to him," she explained,
"He could never quit."
She is a person with whom one
is immediately at ease. Her little
trick of hitting on exactly the
thing one would like best to talk
about is especially charming.
However, it is apt to make a re­porter
have so much fun that she
forgets what she came for.
Mrs. Voyles has never lived any
farther south than North Caro­lina.
She had been through Ala­bama
only when en route to other
places until her visit to Auburn
this week. She says that she ex­pects
to like Auburn very much.
She has already had an opportu­nity
to look it over well, since
there is no better way to become
acquainted with a town than to go
in search of a house. Mrs. Voyles
believes that so far as knowing
her way around the streets, you
couldn't lose her! Looking for liv­ing
quarters is a task at best, but
she is optimistic about it. Unlike
some house hunters, she found,
not one, but two! She has also
met several people in Auburn,
and even remembers their names.
She also recognizes their faces
when she meets them on the
street. One would think that re­markable,
but for her confession
that she cannot quite attach the
names she remembers to the
faces she recognizes quick enough
to do any more than smile and
offer a tentative "Hello."
Mrs. Voyles has two sons, Carl,
Jr., and Bob. Knowing her, look­ing
at her, and not knowing the
boys, one's first impulse was to
ask, "And do you plan to put
them in the nursery school?
There's quite a good one here."
However, she immediately added,
"Carl, Jr., is 21, and Bob is 16."
The older son is an Army medi­cal
student at Duke, and Bob is
in prep school at Alexandria, Va.
She and her husband left Au­burn
Monday night after having
spent the week-end. They will re.
turn to make their home here
on April 15.
Canned Calf
The girls at the Home Ec farm­house
are looking at their steak
with tearful eyes these days.
"Poor Butch," they say when
they see meat on their table, "he
was so sweet."
Butch was a calf that the girls
took care of for a time. He was
loved by all of them, and even
getting up at six o'clock to feed
him was fun.
But Butch was living on bor­rowed
time. He was doomed.
Of no avail was his most plead­ing
calf-look. When he was old
enough he was fed to the wolves,
or, to speak more literally, to
the Vets.
After the tragic slaughter, the
grief-stricken girls canned their
pet. This only shows to what
lengths a group of hungry girls
will go to beat the meat short­age.
Using all the arts they had
acquired in years of foods labs,
they prepared B u t c h for final
consumption. When the task
was finished, there was only an
array of sixteen neatly sealed
glass jars to show that the gentle
and long-suffering Butch had
passed that way.
Annette Cheney, Carolyn Rob­inson,
Burma Ann Norrell, Fay
Campbell, and Miss Thelma
Graves are 'honorary" survivors
since complete statistics o n
Butch's family are unavailable.

Across," s o o n to be published,
Capt. Wynn will tell his audience
here of some of the experiences
related in that book.
As a ferry pilot for both the
Royal Canadian Air Force and
the United S t a t e s AAF, Capt.
Wynn, now only 29 years old, has
been flying steadily since the war
broke out. He has ferried his
ships to points in England, Africa,
Russia, Iran, India, a n d China,
and has never yet failed to deliv­er
one—all in one piece.
His closest call was during a
take-off at Natal. His plane car­ried
a load, mostly gasoline,
which was one and a half tons
over the maximum. Halfway
down the runway, at a speed of
85 miles per hour, the nose wheel
collapsed. "It looked like the end
all right," says Capt. Wynn, "but
somehow the ship stayed righted
and its fuel tanks intact. The only
damage was to the nose and
props."
He is very proud of Mrs. Roose­velt's
signature on. his Short
Snorter bill. He carried her from
England to the United States.
Capt. Wynn has ferried every
type of plane from Lightning
fighters and he-man Martin Ma­rauders
to four-engined craft.
Flying the North Atlantic, he
says, can be a pretty rugged job,
due to the weather. The South
Atlantic, in comparison, is a pic­nic,
in his opinion.
"Bombers Across" is being pub­lished
by E. P. Dulton and Com­pany
and will be out in May. In
addition, Capt. Wynn is author of
a War Department publication,
"So You're Going To Fly The Big
Stuff."
Volleyball Finals
Seen For Next Week
Tennis, horseshoe, and golf
tournaments are gathering inter­est
as fraternity competition be­gins

were delayed until today due to
failure in obtaining lists from the

volley ball tournament has prog­ressed
"as well as I have ever
seen." Coach Evans expressed
belief that the regular scheduled
games would be completed this
week. Games that were postponed
will be played in the order that
they were rained out, and if ne­cessary,
games will be extended
into the next week. Semi-finals

Optimum conditions for the
growth of penicillium, the mold
that produces penicillin, are be­ing
studied on the Berkeley cam­pus
of the University of Califor­nia
by Dr. Michael Doudoroff, as­sistant,
professor of bacteriology,
and Helen Jackins, research as­sistant.
The present process for making
penicillin is slow and tedious and
often produces small yields. The
studies in the laboratory are an
attempt to find out what consti­tuents
of the vegetable extracts
used in the cultivation of the
mold will stimulate the formation
of more of the needed drug. The
addition of some known com­pound
might increase the produc­tion,
Dr. Doudoroff pointed out.
The mold is now grown in com­plicated
vegetable media; it might
be possible to find a simpler one,
he added.
"Many people throughout the
country are studying this problem
of penicillin production," Dr.
Doudoroff said. "There are many
angles of attack and we are work­ing
on only one phase.—ACP.
