sponsor drives of their own.
With the approval of the Lee
County Chapter as the supervis­ing
body, request has been made
of Southeastern Area by the stu­dents
who were present at the
meeting that they be recognized

Three Are Injured
As Train Hits Car
At Railway Crossing
The North College street rail­way
crossing, for the second time
within four weeks, was the scene
of a serious train-auto collision
Sunday night when a west-bound
freight train plowed into the side
of a car, and carried it 280 paces
down the track, injuring three
persons, one severely.
The car, driven by Bobby
Bell, Gadsden, freshman in aero­nautical
engineering, contained
two other occupants, Miss Mil­dred
Lamar, Auburn high school
senior and daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Lamar, and Buel G.
Johnson, Birmingham, junior in
chemical engineering. All three
were taken to Drake Infirmary,
Johnson later being taken to St.
Vincents hospital, Birmingham,
and Miss Lamar to Piedmont
Hospital in Atlanta, Ga.
According to witnesses, the
warning light and bell were in
operation immediately preceding
the accident, and the train, the
second section of No. 209 going
to Montgomery, was traveling at
a moderate rate of speed. Mr.
Luther Porch, nightwatchman at
Ideal Laundry and witness to the
acident, gave the time of the ac­cident
as approximately 11:05,
and although he saw the car just
as it slipped in front of the train
to be carried away, his position
inside the laundry prevented him
from adding further details.
The car, a U-Drive-It owned by
"Chief" Roland Shine, Auburn,
was demolished.

Pictures Mixed-Up,
And We're So Sorry
Our faces are crimson. About
all we can say is that it is one
of those things that happens to
the best of papers, but we hope
that it won't happen to us again.
Through a mix-up in The
Plainsman office, a picure of Lt.
William M. Monroe, command­ing
officer of the Naval Radio
Training School, in last week's
issue was designated as that of
Kenneth B. Roy, editor of the
Experiment Station.
Next week The Plainsman
hopes to run pictures of both
men to clarify any confusion
which may have resulted.
Cadets To Give
Military Ball
In Alumni Gym
Freshmen And Sophs
To Sponsor Dance;
AAF Band To Play
Plans are being completed for
the annual Military Ball to be
held on the evening January 22,
1944 from 9 till 12 in the Alumni
Gymnasium. Decorations will be
along patriotic lines, and the
313th Army Air Forces Band will
render the music for the occasion.
An elaborate lead out and sev­eral
no-breaks will be the fea­tures
of the evening.
Previously the Military Ball
has been given by the Cadet Of­ficers
of the Senior Class. Due
to discontinuance of the Ad­vanced
Courses, freshmen and
sophomores have the privilege of
sponsoring the affair this year.
Men of the Sixth Company
ASTP, Advanced ROTC, will be
special guests.
Sophomores are in charge of
arrangements under the direc­tion
of Cadet Lt. Col. H. W.
Steindorff. The following com­mittee
chairmen have been ap­pointed:
Finance, Cadet Capt.
G. F. Strother; Publicity, Cadet
Capt. J. W. Randolph; Decora­tions,
Cadet 2nd Lieut. J. F.
Keown.
Gamblers, Beware,
Your Number's Up;
McDougall To Come
Michael MacDougall, famous
card detective who will appear
in Alumni Gymnasium, Friday,
January 21, at 8:15 p. m., knows
all the surethings in a gambler's
bag of tricks. He has tp in his
business. He's the famous Card
Detective you've read about in
Look and Life, seen in the movies,
heard on various programs over
the air. If he wanted to make his
living as a professional gambler
he could make a fortune. Mr.
MacDougall chooses to make his
living exposing the crooks who
victimize the American Public.
For many years MacDougall
has gone about the country act­ing
as a kind of card detective.
He has investigated games for
exclusive clubs, for city officials,
for steamship lines, for fun. He
not only can recognize the tricks,
but can do them, and one of the
best ways to expose a crook
caught in a "respectable" game
is for MacDougall to give a lec­ture,
using exactly the same
method and pointing the story
up in such a way that the man
knows his game is up.
Tickets for this outstanding
event will be 25c for students
with activity cards; 35c for serv­ice
men; and 50c for all others.
Applications Must Be
Completed Tomorrow
Solicitations Hampered By Sickness;
Slips For Registration May Be Obtained
At Tiger Theater Or Burton's Bookstore
Auburn's quota for t h e Red Cross blood drive is 700 pints
but so far only about 250 donors have registered to give blood
to the mobile unit which will be" h e r e J a n u a r y 26, 27 and 28.
Because of the epidemic of flu in town it will be h a r d e r t h an
ever to raise the q u a n t i t y requested. Everyone who possibly
can is urged by the committee to m a k e t h e i r contribution.
Bob Smith announced that
War Stamps
To Be Sold
At New Booth
The Fourth War Loan Drive
will find Auburn ready to meet
the patriotic challenge. War
stamps will be sold on Tuesday,
January 18, the opening day of
the drive by members of the Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet at the
booth at the Main Gate.
The Executive Cabinet will
also sell War stamps at the Blue
Key-Glomerata Beauty Parade
and at the Military Ball. It will
be necessary for students to pur­chase
stamps in order to gain ad­mittance.
There will be a special meet­ing
of the Student Executive
Cabinet, Monday, January 17 at
5:00 p. m. in room 209 Samford
at which time there will be a
report by the Student Govern­ment
Revision Committee.
The new booth is being con­structed
at the expense of the
Executive Cabinet to replace the
on which was destroyed by fire
several months ago. It will be
open on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday afternoons, January
19 through 21 and stamps will be
sold at that time. The booth will
also be open at least one day a
week for the remainder of the
drive.
Doubts All Driven
Away By Players'
Two-Act Comedy
You said "Yes." Forever af­ter
you wondered what would
have happened if you had
said "No," or vice versa. The
Auburn Players' current pro­duction
leaves you in no such
quandry.
"Yes and No," a two-act com­edy
by Kenneth Home, takes
a certain two days and shows
what would have happened if
Jo had said "No." Then just
so you won't wonder, the same
two days are lived over sup­posing
that Jo had said "Yes."
The epilogue of the play
shows what actually happened
—That's your answer to whe­ther
Jo said "Yes" or No."
The play, directed by Tel­fair
B. Peet, will be presented
in the Y-Hut in February. The
cast, headed by June Killian
and Bill Brooks, includes Eliza­beth
Deese, Maria Duchac, Bob­bie
Burrowes, Billy Salmon,
and George Gendley. Dorothy
Plant is the prompter.
Bell Succeeds Simmons
As Sophomore President
Miss Evelyn Bell will succeed
Clarence Simons as president of
the sophmoroe class.
In the campus elections of last
November, Miss Bell was elected
to the position of vice president.
She is a third quarter fresh­man
taking, home ec, and is
from Luverne. It will be her duty
to attend meetings of the Student
Executive Cabinet as well as to
serve as the administrative lead­er
of the sophomore class.
slips for the solicitation would
be available for donors at the
Tiger Theater and at Burton's
Bookstore. These applications
must be in by tomorrow.
This drive is being conducted
by Margaret Toomer, chairman
of the city drive, Chi Omega so­rority,
sponsors of the Student
Drive.
The mobile unit, carrying com­plete
equipment for setting up a
blood donor center, will be ac­companied
by a specially trained
staff of doctors and nurses and
will operate in the Auburn Bap­tist
Church on Glenn Ave.
To meet the County's quota,
450 additional blood donors must
be signed up today and tomor­row,
Mr. Smith continued, or Lee
County will not provide its share
of the millions of pints of blood
requested by the Army and Navy
for processing into plasma.
"Persons desiring to send their
blood to the fighting fronts where
it will save the lives of our sol­diers,
sailors, and marines, can
do so by telephoning the Lee
County Red Cross, Auburn 206,
immediately to make their ap­pointment,"
he added. Donations
are scheduled in advanced to
speed the operation of the mobile
unit, he explained.
Men and women between 18
and 60 are eligible to donate pro­vided
they are in good health,
weigh at least 110 pounds, have
never had tuberculosis, have not
had malaria, and have had no se­rious
illness or operation recent­ly.
"Minors, between 18 and 21,
must have the written consent
of parent or guardian," Mr.
Smith said.
The unit will be here for 3
days. During that time, its work
will be aided by members of the
local Red Cross Motor Corps and
Canteen Corps. In charge of the
unit, which is attached to the Red
Cross Blood Donor Center in At­lanta,
Georgia, is Mrs. J. B. Shut­tles,
Special Assistant American
National Red Cross.
After the blood is collected
here, it will be shipped in refrig­erated
containers to a processing
laboratory where the plasma will
be extracted under the direct
Army contact. From the laborato­ry,
the dried plasma is delivered
oo the Army and Navy and dis­tributed
to American forces,
wherever they may be.
All Dogs Around
Army Headquarters
Impounded By Police
All dogs in the vicinity of
Army headquarters and bar­racks
have been picked up and
are impounded in API Small
Animal Clinic, and will be held
for 10 days or until they are
claimed by owners.
The dogs, which have become
a public nuisance, will be hu­manely
destroyed by the vet­erinary
department after ten
days, he stated.
SCRAP PAPER DRIVE
Glenn Scott, chairman of the
waste paper committee of the
Jaycees, announced that an­other
one-day drive will be
staged by the Boy Scouts Sat­urday,
February 5. Please bun­dle
all waste paper for this
drive, stack old newspapers
and magazines, and place along

The Need Should Be Met
The organization of a collegiate Red
Cross chapter at Auburn will enable stu­dents
to take a more active and a very
beneficial role in helping our men and
women in uniform.
The Red Cross is one organization in
which both military and civilian students
can serve on an equal footing.
This is an answer to those people who
say that college students are not doing
enough for the war effort.
Auburn has needed something like this
for a long time and it is to be hoped that
students will be quick to take advantage
of it.
Not only does the Red Cross help mem­bers
of our armed forces but also their
families and needy civilians. Through the
International Red Cross aid is given to
prisoners of war in Europe and Asia. So
those students working with the Auburn
chapter can fell that they are contributing
to the aid of humanity on a world-wide
scale, if only on a small way. But it is the
many small things together that make big
things possible.
Stop, Look, And Run Like Hell
The recent train and automobile acci­dent
of last Sunday night has brought to
our attention once again the great' need
for better protection for motorists at our
railroad crossings on College and Gay
Streets. There are a limited number of
tracks to be crossed at those two junc­tions
and electrical signals are provided to
warn automobile drivers of the approach
of trains, but in the past few months an
alarming number of serious accidents have
occurred despite these precautions. Al­though
the drivers of the cars and trucks
in some cases must undoubtedly be at
fault, it would strongly appear that the
crossing signals are sadly inadequate.
The crossing signals are regulated to
spring into action when the train reach­es
a certain point on the track rail, and
to remain flashing until the train leaves
the station and passes another given point.
Theoretically, it would seem, this system
would operate admirably as long as the
motorist was alert and waited until signal
ceased to operate. But should the train
leave, the signal continue to flash, and
the driver cross in the wake of the depart­ing,
he might be struck by an oncoming
train whose approach he could not pos­sibly
foresee. This idea might seem a lit­tle
farfetched—but tragedies have oc­curred
on even less supposition.
In view of the inefficiency of the pres­ent
system, it would seem to us that some­one
would investigate the possibility of
securing stop gates for these two crossings.
These gates would control the Jauman ten­dency
to slip by just before the locomotive
reaches the crossing and to jump the gun
as it leaves.
It All Takes Cooperation
No organization can exist without some
form of government. Man has learned that
the most satisfactory way to govern is
through law, and we have imposed upon
ourselves certain laws and rules to which
we conform for our own benefit and for
the good of society. A college is an orga­nization
and is required to have rules
just as any other organization is. Each
student by the act of registration accord­ing
to booklet, Rules and Regulations for
Students, obligates himself to obey the
rules of the college.
Any rule which is imposed upon a group
of students must *be enforced. It is only
through the enforcement of the rule that
it exists.
The enforcement of any rule operating
on this campus is the responsibility of the
administration, the faculty, and the stu­dents.
It is the duty of the administration
to require that a rule be enforced. It is
the duty of the faculty to show by their
actions and by the things they say that
they respect college rules.
It is upon the student, however, that
the greatest responsibility for enforce­ment
rests. The student is responsible for
his own individual conduct. It is the stu­dent
for whom the rules were written.
It is also the responsibility of the student
body to control by opinion the actions of
individual students who break rules.
Just as the greatest responsibility of en­forcement
lies with the student, so should
the privilege of the greatest voice in mak­ing
or doing away with rules. It is the
student who realizes most the need for
certain rules and the student who most
constantly is in direct contact with rules.
It is only through the closest collabora­tion
and the most thorough cooperation
between administration, faculty, and the
students that an ideal system of student
control, based upon the student himself,
and guided by the faculty and the admin­istration,
can be realized.
Do You Know Any Of These
Dear Sir:
I noticed in last week's issue of The
Plainsman Dr. W. H. Bruce is referred to
as the oldest API alumnus. If reference
is intended to be to Dr. Bruce's age, count­ing
from his birth this perhaps is correct;
but if reference is intended to be to his
graduation it is erroneous.
I entered the senior class of the college
(it was then commonly known as A. and
M. College of Alabama) in September,
1878. On account of the death of my father,
I resigned early in October, 1878, taught
school for a year, then returned and re­entered
college, graduating in June, 1880.
It is my understanding that two or three
members of the class of 1880 are still liv­ing,
but I do not know which ones. As I
remember this class had 20 members. As
best I can remember they are as follows:
B. F. Atkinson, Homer B. Urquhart, Har­ry
Martin, Robert Ousley, E. J. Garrison,
R. Y. Steet, C. B. McCoy, J. C. Street, J. T.
Ascraft, Sam Calloway, Alva Fitzpatrick,
Sam Cantey, G. W. Stephens, C. E. Thomas,
B. L. Walker, Ed Price, J. W. Davis, and
probably H. Y. Perry, Dillard and "Josh"
Dowdell.
I will be glad to hear from any of the
above named, and also from any friend
or relative as to date and place of death
of any who are dead.
Very respectfully,
E. J. Garrison, Ashland, Ala.
A LINE, BUT NOT THE SAME OLD ONE
F
Here And There
By BOB CHISHOLM
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.
In our wanderings we find lots of amusing things which we
put away for future use, then never use them. That's how
junk collects.
However, we have pulled the following out of our col­lection
and quote it forthwith. We can't help but believe that
if the prohibitionists would read this they would drop their
campaign at once and start a drive to feed alcoholic beverages
to our animal friends. And so we quote:
"The horse and mule live 30 years,
And nothing know of wines and beers;
The goat and sheep at 20 die,
And never taste of Scotch and rye;
The cow drinks water by the ton,
And at 18 is mostly done;
The dog at 15 cashes in
Without the aid of rum and gin.
The cat in milk and water soaks,
And then in 12 short years it croaks;
The modest, sober, bone-dry hen
Lay eggs for nogs, then dies at ten;
ALL ANIMALS are strictly dry;
They sinless live and swiftly die;
But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked MEN
Survive for three score years and ten!
This, we believe, makes its own point and speaks its own
piece. And the amusing part of it is, it is true.
Last week one of our beloved soldier classmates, Harold
Clayton Daniel, left for the Air Force. A little blue service
star has been hung at his former quarters at 139 W. Glenn in
memory of his venture into active service.
And along this line we have just heard that in Washington
male officers in the army are being put behind desks to re­lease
WACs for overseas duty.
Me thinks this country is getting a little mixed up!
The March of Time which was shown at the local theater
this week was exceptionally good, as far as it went. We believe
that this issue on the "Youth of America" which was chiefly
concerned with the juvenile delinquency problem should have
been more forcibly presented. We noticed that the younger
people in the audience were amused at the scenes, rather than
being concerned about them.
It is quite true that the juvenile delinquency situation in
this country is becoming serious. We feel, however, that lack
of education on the consequences of wild living and youthful
cavorting helps to increase rather than decrease the number
of cases.
The people, in this country are still prudish in such matters
and are afraid to print the truth for fear somebody will raise
a quisical eyebrow at them. If the bold, hard facts hurt, then
let them hurt. Let people criticise what is being written. But
if it educates the youth of this country away from vice and
corruption then the criticism will be dimmed by the shining
light radiating from the young men and women, who with
clean lives behind them and ahead of them, will make fine
future citizens for our country.

We see by the papers that there is talk of a football team
for Auburn next fall. This is the brand of news that will put
life back into the school. A large college without a football
team appears to be only a small college.
Even though we may not have a team that can win every
game, or even half of them, or even if we have a team that
cannot win a single, game, but is in there playing its heart
out in good clean sport, we can keep Auburn in front of the
public each week, we can give the students something to back
and support, and we can see the old "Auburn Spirit" burst
forth again as Auburn goes back on the map.
We believe every effort should be made to have a team
and to play a schedule. This would show that even a war can
not put a good school down and keep it there. Put the Orange
and Blue Tiger back on the field and API will start the climb
to the greater glory that awaits her in the future.

The quadrangle assumed a
busy appearance again this week
with the return of the trainees
from furlough. Naturally there
was the usual rush to get every­one
settled in order to start the
new term on time.
Most of the trainees were reas­signed
to either a different com­pany
or at least a different room
within a barracks. The soldiers
registered and received new
books Tuesday. The new trainees
were classified and assigned per­manently
to a section.
Some of the trainees who were
here last term will be missing
this term either because they
transferred to the Air Forces as
aviation cadets or were returned
to troops. Soon all the difficul­ties
will be completely ironed
out, those soldiers departing from
the station will be gone, and the
quadrangle will be back to nor­mal
again.

The Government Has It's

The following sentences were
taken from actual letters re­ceived
from mothers, wives and
relatives of men in the service.
They were either making or cor-rcting
applications for allotments:
1. Please send me my elopment
as I have a four month old baby
and he is my only support and I
need all I can get every day to
buy food and to keep him in
clothes.
2. Both sides of my parents is
poor, and I can't expect nothing
from them, as my mother has
been in bed with the same doc­tor
for one year and won't change.
3. Please send my wife's form
to fill out.
4. Please send me a letter and
tell me if my husband has made
application for a wife and baby.
5. I have already wrote to the
President and if I don't hear from
you, I will write to Uncle Sam
and tell him about you both.
6. I have not had clothing for
one year, and have been regular­ly
visited by the clergy.
7. This is my eighth child, what
are you going to do about it?
8. I can't get sick pay, I got
six children—can you tell me
what this is?
9. Sir: I am forwarding my
marriage certificate and two chil­dren,
one is a mistake as you
can see.

One of the more doubtful
pleasures of education is that of
running up against unusual, lit­tle-
used, and unnecessary words.
Of course, the proper procedure
is to pounce upon a dictionary,
tear through its pages, throw it
down and shout, "There ain't no
such word! Webster doesn't list
it." My first battle with words
was in the third grade when we
had to keep vocabulary lists tak­en
from the day's reading lesson.
I had quite a tussle with spelling
that year, too, and it seems to
have won. However, after inten­sive
study of the ten most com­monly
used words in our lan­guage,
I am happy to report that
I know that a garbage can is not
a collective noun, and the future
of "he drinks" is not "hold his

Last week this paper carried
an editorial lamenting the vacant
space left by the vacationing
ASTs. And, no denyin' it, we've
gotten so used to seeing them
around, that they're almost an
essential point of the landscape.
It really did seem too simple to
be able to go from the New
Building to Samford unimpeded,
no stopping to review the troops,
no getting caught between sec­tions
and finding yourself on the
third floor of Broun when all you
wanted was a cup of coffee. We
really missed all the "Eyes—
Right! Eyes—Left! Rest! AT
EEEase!" But now the traffic at
the corner of Ross is competing
with that on the stairs of the
New Building again, and all this
is by way of gettin' around to a
hearty welcome back, boys, and
here's hopin' you had a whale of
a time in Boston, or Brooklyn, or
Westfield, or what have ya.

There's nothing like conciseness,

Auburn Has Hospitals
For Wounded Soldiers
At Time Of Civil War
Union Forces
Raided Town;
Burned Station
By Mimi Simms
Wounded Confederate soldiers
were housed in the Auburn Bap­tist
Church, whose roof blew
down during the winter of 1864.
No one was injured, however,
and the soldiers remained in the
church while the repairs were
being made.
The town of Auburn participat­ed
in many other ways in the
Civil War. Besides the church,
other Auburn buildings also
served as hospital wards. The
two colleges located in Auburn
at this time, East Alabama Col­lege
and East Alabama Female
College, both closed and their
buildings were used for hospital
also. About 350 men were kept
in these hospitals which collec­tively
were called the Texas
Hospital. Women of the town
worked as nurses.
Auburn Guard Well-Known
Men who were in East Ala­bama
College enlisted in the
army when the school closed.
They then joined the Auburn
Guard, which was well-known
throughout the South. It had the
reputation of being one of the
best-dressed &JI d well-trained
companies of the Confederate
army.
i
PRAYERS FOR PEACE
A "Peace Angelus" has been
instituted on the Westminister
College campus and is being ob­served
daily.
Each evening at 7 o'clock, the
victory bell in "Old Main" tow­er
is rung as a signal for one min­ute
of silent prayer. Students
and townspeople are asked to
stop whatever they are doing
when they hear the bell and of­fer
prayers for peace.
This was the first company re­viewed
by Jefferson Davis after
he was inaugurated.
Auburn was located on the
West Point and Montgomery
Railroad, the only connecting
link between Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi. For this reason
the station was burned in the
summer of 1864 and various sup­plies
were captured. At the same
time the Union army reported
that they captured a train which
was near Auburn.
Flag Is Raised
A student of East Alabama Fe­male
College raised a flag in Au­burn
at the same time the first
Confederate flag was raised in
Montgomery, the capital.
Wilson's raid went through
Auburn, and while the raid was
being made, no white people left
their homes. Many colored peo­ple
from the country came to
town and took this advantage to
rifle the stores. The town offi­cials
were unable to determine
how much merchandise was tak­en,
but most of the town's sup­plies
disappeared.
During this time the only de­fenders
of the town were 18 par­tially
recovered soldiers and a
captain who had taken com­mand
of the hospitals two days
earlier. They retired when they
realized the number of men who
were making the raid.
Chapel Becomes Langdon
An interesting sidelight just
before the war was William
Lownes Yancey's speech in the
chapel of the Female College.
Yancey was a resident of Au­burn
for several years and his
speeches were the highlight of
each graduation. Later t h i s'
chapel was moved to the present
site of Langdon Hall and was en­closed
in brick.
Auburn now has one resident
who was a small child during this
war. She is Mrs. Drake.
NEW NAVY
OFFICER
ARRIVES
The newest member of the
complement of officers at the
Auburn Naval Training School
arrived in Auburn on January 5
and has already assumed his dut­ies
as a supply and dispersing of­ficer.
He is Ensign Mark Alspach,
of Lancaster Pennsylvania.
Ensign Alspach was called to
active duty July 1, 1943, upon
completion of his college course
at the University of Pennsylvania
Law School. He was temporarily
stationed at Bainbridge, Mary­land,
and then was sent to Boston
where he underwent a course of
instruction at the Navy Supply
School.
"This is the first time I have
been in the south," said Ensign
Alspach, "and I must say I am
very much impressed. The clim­ate
is so agreeable to me since I
have always spent my winters in
the north."
Ensign Alspach finds the liv­ing
conditions in Auburn a great
improvement over many of the
places he has been in the north,
where tremendous overcrowding
has resulted from the influx of
war workers. (Evidently, he has
yet to visit Mobile.) "I'm sure
that from the standpoint of liv-
Three Down
And One To Go
Auburn has been through
three wars. Now, in the midst
of the fourth, it is still living
up to its reputation of coopera­tion
which began in the days
before Alabama Polytechnic
Institute was established.
It has seen its students go to
war and return to school. It
has seen bigger and better rum­ors
than any that have been
circulated during this war. It
has been a hospital, a training
school, and then settled back
to just being a school again.
It has seen the women of the
town and the girls of the school
serve as nurses; it has watched
the Army come and the stu­dents
go into Army uniform;
It has been altered with each
war, yet the essential spirit of
War Eagle has never changed.
The part Auburn has played
in these wars has been great;
but the preparation of her
young men to go into a world
of either war or peace has been
her greatest gift.
ing conditions my stay here dur­ing
my tour of duty at this sta­tion
will be a happy one," he said,
and then smiling, "I like the
friendliness of the townspeople."
Ensign Alspach is temporarily
residing at 328 W. Magnolia.

By Sue Abbott
For about twenty minutes she
had poured her lamentations into
the ears of several listeners. They
listened—with amused looks on
their faces—to her tell how she
had to get up every morning at
8:45 in order to get to her 9
o'clock class on time. She told
how she went through the mo­tions
of straightening up the
room, leaving most of the real
cleaning-up job to the maid.
At this point her listeners al­most
"knocked themselves out."
They laughed long and loud and
when they finally stopped, they
gave the girl a sketch of one of
their normal days.

How many periods of wear and wash­ing
will a shirt withstand before devel­oping
evidence of wear? In answer, we
can say only that the service period is
dependent upon several factors such as
fabric durability, strenuousness of
wearing action, and the washing pro­cedure
used. Wear and wash tests con­ducted
at the Institute show that the
length of life of a shirt is largely de­pendent
upon the wearing action that
takes place while the garment is actual­ly
being worn.
•
I n a series of tests extending through
several years, medium priced broad­cloth
shirts representing a number of
brands were worn by Institute staff
members, with records kept of t h e num­ber
of periods of wear and laundering
given by the garments before evidence
of a wornout condition developed. In
almost every case the first evidence of
damage to the shirt was in t h e form of
wear at the fold line of the collar. Of
150 shirts tested in this manner, the
average life per shirt was 31.2 periods
of wear and washing. A great differ­ence
was noted in t h e shirt wearability
figures from one individual to another.
One man, for example, averaged 21
wear periods for his shirts, while an­other
averaged 50 w e a r periods. I n gen­eral,
however, wear figures were be­tween
28 and 35.
In one test, designed to reveal the
comparative effects of wear in service
versus wear in laundering, a shirt was
laundered 100 times before evidence of
fraying at the fold line was observed.
A similar shirt worn between launder-ings
showed collar wear after 35 wear
periods.
The shirts representing these wear-wash
tests were withdrawn from serv­ice
after they had reached a condition
considered unsuitable for further serv­ice.
Additional service would have been
r e n d e r e d by the shirts if collars had
been turned or new collars attached.
Shirts during wear develop the first
evidence of fabric damage at t h e collar
edges, although localized weakness of
shirt is also found in the upper back
areas. Shirts that have reached a worn-out
condition through ordinary usage
show fabric strengths at t h e upper back
areas of only 40% to 50% of the fabric
s t r e n g t h at the tail sections. This local­ized
fabric weakness is evidently due to
wear and not to laundering.
In the foregoing discussion, we have
not been concerned with brand names
of shirts or fabric constructions repre­sented
by the shirts. Naturally, the
stronger and more durable the shirt
fabric, the longer the shirt will wear.
We have not attempted to correlate ele­ments
of fabric and garment construc­tion
with wearability or laundering
qualities. The emphasis of this article is
on the influence of wear as it contri­butes
to the eventual wornout condi­tion
of a shirt and on t h e fact that the
strenuousness of the wearing action
varies with individuals. The laundry,
t h r o u g h t h e use of well-controlled wash­ing
formulas, assures the greatest pos­sible
wearability of shirts, but obvious­ly
a l a u n d r y cannot guarantee any spe­cific
service period without previous
knowledge of t h e wearing and launder­ing
characteristics of the garments.
"At five-thirty our best friend
awakens us by gently tapping us
on the shoulder and persuading
us to get up. We have thirty
whole minutes then in which we
spotlessly clean our room and
get dressed for the day. At 6
o'clock we drill in front of the
Chemistry Building. It is very
pleasant drilling at 160 steps a
minute and watching the sun
struggle over the top of one of
the buildings. We have a late
breakfast at 6:25 which prepares
us for our classes, beginning at
five 'til seven and ending at 6
p. m.
From twelve noon 'till 12:25,
we can write letters or smoke a
nicotine stick. At 6:25, we dine
sumptiously, anticipating our
"town-liberty" which comes from
7 'til 7:45. In that length of time,
we can go to a picture show,
bowl, or participate in any other
activities offered. We study from
7:45 'til the bugle blows at 9:25.
When 9:30 sneaks upon us, we
are again tucked in our beds."
After this recital, the lazy lady
with the 9 o'clock class made
only one remark. It was: "Alas
and alack, you boys certainly
lead a Naval Cadet's life."

On Wall Lists
Alma Maters
Colleges and universities, pro-f
e s s i o n a l and technological
schools, teachers colleges and
junior colleges—all were repre­sented
on a section of the wall on
the second floor of the New
Classroom Building at the top of
the east stairway which ASTs
chose for registering their alma
maters.
Numbering over 200, the list
included a few women's colleges
and some non-existent ones, but
most of them were legitimate.
Large scrawls, small scrawls,
written" and printed in ink and
pencil, a few so high only Super­man
could have written them, the
list has been the subject of much
comment.
Wall writing certainly is not to
be condoned or encouraged, par­ticularly
in the New Building
which, with its clean walls, has
been a source of pride since
classes began there in 1940. It
was interesting, however, to note
the cross-section of American
institutions in the scribblings.
Not all are nationally known,
and of the women's colleges in­cluded,
Vassar probably was the
only one truly represented, since
one AST was a janitor there.
From Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo.,
to Tokio U., Tokio, Japan, from
Shanghai American School to
Marquette U., they ran the
gamut. There is a Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (but you
spelled it incorrectly, soldier) and
a Hiwassee College, an Alfred U.,
a Duquesne U., a Grand Central

From Colby College (Maine)

Spanish American War
Causes Rumors To Run
Rampant In Auburn
Has No Real Effect
On Town And College
Says Dean Petrie
By Doltie Woodall
Dean George Petrie, whose
contribution to Auburn has been
great through years of service,
was quick to state that the Span­ish-
American War did not great­ly
affect the lives of Auburn
students, or the set-up of the col­lege.
Dean Petrie has seen Au­burn
under wartime conditions
three times.
At the time of the Spanish-
American War he was living at
the Jones Hotel, and he particu­larly
remembers the preposter­ous
rumors which were rampant
among some of the older ladies
resident there. He laughed as
he recalled the incident of the
Spanish Flotilla. It was known
a number of small torpedo boats
had been sent out from Spain,
but their exact location was a
mystery.
Wright's Mill Rumor
All over the nation there was
speculation as to where this fleet
was, and where it would attack.
The citizens of Boston feared
that they would be attacked, and
called for heavy harbor fortifi­cations;
then it was rumored
that Washington was the objec­tive,
and finally the rumor spread
that Charleston would certainly
be attacked from the sea. Dean
Petrie says that while this scare
was at its height, he was ap­proached
by one of his fellow
boarders, a lady of some years,
who said, "Dr. Petrie, they are
saying that the Spanish Flotilla
will come up the stream to
Wright's Millr-What do think of
it?"
"Camp Nit" seemed to be Dean
Petrie's most vivid recollection
of the Spanish-American War in
connection with Auburn. Dixon
Armstrong, a n d his brother,
Henry, sons of Colonel Arm­strong,
a trustee of the college
and an influential Mason in the
state, organized a company of
volunteer Negro troops in this
vicinity. They were encamped at
a location about half way be­tween
Auburn and Opelika, on
the dirt road that runs out to the
air field now.
"Camp Nit" It Was
The townspeople and students
of Auburn nicknamed it Camp
Nit, and Camp Nit it remained
until the end. What the Arm­strong
brothers would h a ve
christened it, Dean Petrie doesn't
know, but it was never known
by any name other than that
given it in fun. This company of
volunteers never reached Cuba,
however, and did not get any
nearer to actual fighting than
Camp Nit. They remained en­camped
there for the duration.
General Robert Bullard, an
Auburn man, took part in the
Spanish-American War, especial­ly
in the Philippine stage of it.
General Bullard also had a very
brilliant career in World War I.
He was commander of the Second
Army in Europe. He is living to­day,
but is retired.
No Draft
Dean Petrie remembers sever­al
of his students who took part
in this conflict, but said that for
the most part the college students
did not go into the war. There
was no draft, and the enlistment
was purely voluntary. There were
probably several Auburn students
in the Rough Riders.
An Auburn man who has
achieved no small degree of fame
as a historian is Walter Fleming.
He graduated here in 1896, got his
Master's degree in '97, and im­mediately
went into the army.
He did not take part in any ac­tual
fighting, but did secretarial
work. He is a kinsman of Mrs.
Emil Wrigh of Auburn.

SATC Was Similar
To Present ASTP,
But Not As Good
By Patty McCoy
Reveille at 5:30 a. m.; break­fast
at 6; military drill from 7
to 8; khaki-clad students march­ing
to classes throughout the day.
That was Auburn mobilized for
war in 1918, an Army training
program then as now, in name at
least.
The SATC of 1918 could hard­ly
be compared with the well-organized,
smoothly run, highly
efficient ASTP of today, how­ever,
say present faculty mem­bers
who were here at the time
either as students in th program
or as faculty members.
Immediately after the close of
the regular session in 1918, the
Army took over the school's fa­cilities
for a program of special­ized
vocational training. Auburn
was sent its first detachment of
207 men from Alabama June 15.
These men had been selected by
their local boards for their ex­perience
and special fitness for
the mechanical trades.
Three Courses Offered
Three courses of training were
offered in this program, radio,
under the direction of Professor
A. C. Dunstan, auto mechanics,
directed by Professor C. R. Hix-on,
and general mechanics, un­der
Professor M. T. Fullan. The
men were to be trained "as
handymen with knowledge of
many processes and with facil­ity
with tools in general" in a
course of eight weeks, after
which they were to be sent to a
regular army camp.
College and Army officials in
a short time, however, faced dis­appointment
in the program, for
only 5 per cent of the men pos­sessed
the training expected of
them, and only 2 per cent were
classified as expert in their spe­cial
line of work.
Dr. R. W. Selvidge, represent­ing
the committee on education
and special training, made his
second visit to the campus in
August. The decision was reached
that the Army should no longer
try to train handy-men, but to
develop specialists. This led to a
much more careful selection of

the men for the second contin­gent.
The regular college session of
API began in September, with
the vocational specialization pro­gram
continuing. In September
the draft age was lowered to 18
years, which would have left
Auburn practically depleted of
men.
SATC Established
The Army then installed the
Student Army Training Corps,
and under it all qualified male
students at API were voluntarily
inducted into the Army to con­tinue
their training as soldier-students.
There were over 1000
students in this program, and in
addition the 300. in the vocational
section.
Boarding houses out in Auburn
and one frame barracks build­ing
located on the site of the
present chemistry b u i l d i ng
housed these men, and Smith
Hall was the central mess hall.
Influenza Halts Classes
The program of studies was not
very efficiently organized at best,
and when the epidemic of Span­ish
influenza which swept the na­tion
reached Auburn, the whole
situation became chaotic. Almost
the entire student body contract­ed
the disease and classes were
suspended entirely. The barracks,
tents, Smith Hall, and all other
available places were used as
makeshift hospitals, since there
were none in Auburn at the time.
Doctors Drake, Thomas, and
Yarbrough, were in constant at­tendance
on the ill men, and the
women of Auburn gave full time
to nursing and caring for them.
Facilities were inadequate even
in normal times, however, and
under such strained conditions
many men died.
After the epidemic subsided,
regular classes were still not re­sumed
to any degre. The military
drills were kept up, but such was
about the extent of the SATC
program. The Armistice was an­nounced
Nov. 4, but the men did
not begin to be demobilize until
December 7-20.
War Eagle!
The college reopened as a
school free of Army control on
January 2, 1919, and most of the
students who had been in the
SATC returned after the Christ­mas
holidays to resume their reg­ular
college courses.
The Orange and Blue, college
paper at that time, joyfully an­nounced
No. 11, but the men did
lege on its normal basis and re­joiced
that "War Eagles" could
once more resound in the halls
and that the "old Auburn spirit"
could prevail.
Something New
Is Included
In Our Village
And now we have a WAVE!
Yes sir, we have had Marines
and Army Transport Command
trainees; we have ASTs, Naval
Radio trainees, and Naval avia­tion
cadets; but the important
thing is that now we have a
WAVE.
In case you have been home
in bed with the flu and haven't
seen her let this remind you that
it's time to be dispensing with
such foolish stuff and getting up
and around.
Her name is Eddress M. Lollar
and she is from Berry, Ala. She
is a Yeoman Third Class and has
a very high opinion of the Navy.
Yeoman Lollar even liked boot
camp. *
She has been in the Navy four
months. Before she went into
the Navy, Yeoman Lollar worked
in the office of the AAA in Fay­ette,
Ala.
This is Yeoman Lollar's first
visit to Auburn. "I like Auburn,"
she said, "but I hope they get
some more WAVES."
And not a bad idea at all.
Alarm Clock Blues
Are Banished By
Auburn Servicemen
Alarm clocks are definitely
on their way out!
Servicemen on the Auburn
campus have found that they
don't have to worry about wak­ing
up on time. They are effic­iently
and effectively aroused
each morning by an old mili­tary
melody ailed reveille.
Both the army and navy use
the same music, but their sys­tems
of playing that music are
different. The navy has a real
live bugler, while the army
music is "canned."
Any soldier can operate the
machine which plays records
over a loudspeaker. However,
there is always the chance that
a sleepy man might put the
wrong music on the turntable
and have taps come thunder­ing
out into the dawn.
In the navy, however, the
job is one for a specialist. The
bugler will probably never play
the wrong music, but he has to
rise and dress in time to blow
his horn.
After being awakened by the
sweet sounds of reveille, will
any serviceman be able to bear
the wrangling of an early
morning alarm clock?

PE OFFERS
JU-JITSU
TRAINING
"I'd rather know ju-jitsu than
own a gun," said Stewart Park­er,
former Signalman First Class
in the U. S. Navy, who is at
present attending API, and in
his spare time is giving the boys
in PE 100 an introduction into
the fundamentals of the scien­tific
art of mayhem—Japanese
style.
"I'm trying to teach them the
fundamentals of ju-jitsu," Park­er
emphasized. "I don't expect
to make experts out of them."
Parker learned ju-jitsu-in a spe­cial
Naval training course for
hand-to-hand combat duty.
He was given a medical dis­charge
from the Navy. But don't
let that influence you into try­ing
one of your favorite "holts"
on him with the assurance that
he is too weak to defend him­self.
You might find yourself
taking a few weeks rest in the
infirmary.
If you look in on one of the
classes some afternoon you will
see an amazing sight. Grown
men rolling arount on the mats
like playful children. But they
are not playing; they are learn­ing
how to fall and roll without
breaking their bones in the
process.
"The main objective in ju-jitsu
is speed," Stewart pointed
out to the group. "Down here
you won't learn any death holds,
neck breaks, or severe holds of
any kind. If you don't want to
learn ju-jitsu, you won't. You
can't learn it unless you are in­terested.
Now practice those rolls
and get down on those shoulders."
The boys voted their desire to
take the course when Coach R. K.
Evans first announced its incep­tion.
Few of them regret their
choice. In fact, most of them
come out of the class convinced
they are commando material.
Today-World War II;
Students And College
Undergo Changes
Changes Are Gradual
But Sure Since That
Day Two Years Ago
By Shirley Smith
The Sunday afternoon that the
news of Pearl Harbor was broad­cast
in Auburn was typically
pre-war. Girls in the dormitories,
boys in fraternity houses, cou­ples
sitting over a coke in the
Grille, driving around town in
a U-Drive-It or riding in the
country on the ROTC horses. A
care-free, collegiate Sunday af­ternoon.
The next day classes were dis­missed
so the students could go
to Langdon Hall to hear Presi­dent
Roosevelt's speech. The dec­laration
of war by Congress was
tangible enough yet most of the
gathering at Langdon Hall looked
as though they expected to wake
up from a bad dream. War and
all its implications was almost
beyond campus conception.
Then, suddenly, things began
to pop. Boys quit school to en­list
in the Army or Navy. Auburn
went on the quarter system. PE
was scheduled every day and the
football team received its first
blow when Tex Williams' enlisted
in the Naval Reserve.
The Naval Radio Training
School graduated its first class
in July, 1942; over 800 students
signed up for the draft. An en­listment
program was offered to
the boys and decisions had to be
made.
Rumors began to spread—all
reserves were to be called im­mediately,
they said. The first
Servicemen's Center opened.
The Army announced that it
had a plan by which boys could
stay in college and again rumors
began to fly. The college was to
be turned into an Army camp,
and all the girls would be
shipped, they said.
A WAAC recruiting group ar­rived,
the Meteorology program
was opened, and The Plainsman
had an article about 54 API pro­fessors
being in the armed forc­es.
Fraternities vacated their hous­es,
and the coeds moved into
them. The first two groups of
Auburn reserves were ordered to
duty, an ASTP was hinted, and
the Red Cross asked for and got
$500 dollars from the student
body.
Lord and Lady Halifax came
in April, the first STARS ar­rived,
and the Naval Aviation
Cadets worked h a r d e r and
marched faster than ever.
Advanced ROTC and ERC stu­dents
went to McPherson to get
their spring suits in khaki, and
Auburn blood donors set a new
record.
Then the ASTP addition filled
the barracks, the ROTC juniors
returned to await OCS pool and
Auburn exceeded its bond quota
by $.60,000.
The college welcomed another
group of ASTs in October and in
December Auburn was rated as
having one of the best records
for quality of instruction in the
nation.
The changes have been gradual
but definite, arid between that
typical care-free, collegiate Sun­day
aftrnoon two years ago, to
that even more typical war-con­scious,
uniformed Sunday after­noon
today, there is as much dif­ference
as in a civilian and a sol­dier.

API To Have Football
This Fall If Possible
Dr. Duncan States Desire To Have Team
Even If It Is Not An Outstanding One
Auburn wants to field a football t e am this fall if it pos­sibly
can be done, President L. N. Duncan said in a Birming­h
am interview Tuesday.
"It is t h e desire of the athletic committee," he said, "as it
is my desire, to have a team, even if we do not have an out­standing
team. We believe in intercollegiate sports and recog­nize
their value to the boys who
participate in them."
In explaining the difficulties
facing API, he pointed out that
Head Coach Jack Meagher is a
lieutenant commander in the
navy and that all the assistant
coaches are gone, most of them to
the armed services. The coaching
staff, therefore, would have to be
completely rebuilt.
As for material, the only group
of students which can be counted
on as a certainty are the civilians,
the number of which has been
greatly reduced, naturally, by the
war.
Of the service units, the ASTP
and ROTC-ASTP groups are
eliminated by the current army
ruling against participation in
intercollegiate athletics by any of
its trainees. The naval aviators
might be declared eligible, but
would not be allowed to play be­cause
of the fact that they are
taking actual flight training ev­ery
day and a navy directive
prohibits flight students from
playing football. They are per­mitted
to take part in other
sports, but the navy is taking no
chances on their suffering injur­ies
which" might interfere with
their flying.
That leaves the sailors of the
Auburn Naval Radio Training
School. Both their eligibility and
whether or not they would be
permitted to play are questions
which have not as yet been gone
into.
The consensus on the Auburn
campus is that with 17-year-olds,
4-Fs, the few deferred men in the
Schools of Engineering and Vet­erinary
Medicine, and perhaps
some sailors, and with a good
coach, a Tiger team could be
put on the field which should
match up with those from other
schools which are in similar sit­uations.
Those colleges which
have navy V-12 units, of course,
have a distinct advantage.
Sailor Lad Mas
LongWayToGo
The war will have to last a
long time if James Dynan, sailor
at API's Naval Radio Training
School, is to see as much of the
world and as much excitement
as his two older brothers.
One brother, Joseph E. Dynan,
is an Associated Press correspon­dent
at Algiers, in North Africa,
whose by-line appears frequent­ly
on current dispatches from
Allied headquarters about the
Italian campaign. He was in To­kyo
at the time of Pearl Harbor
attack and was interned near the
city, being one of the few Ameri­cans
who witnessed the Doolittle
raid from the ground.
The other brother is Staff Ser­geant
Phillip Dynan of the AAF.
He has been on flights to Russia,
the Soloman Islands, the Aleu­tians,
Canada, and Mexico. He
was wounded in the foot by Jap­anese
anti-aircraft fire while fly­ing
over the Aleutians.
The Dynans are from Kansas
City. James, who is 17 years old,
is a seaman second class and in­tends
to apply for assignment to
the naval air service when he
finishes his course here.
Girls' Intramural
Tournaments To
Begin Next Week
The women's intramural bowl­ing
tournament will open Mon­day,
January 17, and the ping
pong tournament will begin Mon­day,
January 24, it was an­nounced
this week by Miss Min­nie
Dean, instructor in women's
physical education. All sororities
will be represented by teams, and
there will be several independ­ent
teams.
The bowling teams will be or­ganized
into leagues and games
will be held each day at the Tig­er
Bowling Alley. There will be
three girls on a team, and each
team will have one game daily.
The total points scored by each
organization will be tabulated
and added to the organization's
grand total toward the intramur­al
cup, which is to be awarded
later. The games will be under
the direction of Miss Harriet
Barnes, physical education in­structor.
A regular class in bowling has
been conducted by Miss Barnes
in preparation for the tourna­ment.
Mary Frances Largent,
with 917 points, and "Tutter"
Thrasher, with 159, lead the one
o'clock bowlers, while Helen Ed­monson
and Helen Kirkland, with
175 and 164 points respectively,
are the high-scorers in the two
o'clock class.
•
The progress of the bowling
tournament will be recorded by
a score card to be posted daily
in the gymnasium.
The ping pong tournaments are
to be held in the gym, with each
organization being represented by
one girl. All girls interested in
the ping pong tournaments should
contact Miss Minnie Dean in or­der
that final arrangements can
be made.
Girls who have already regis­tered
are Martha Walto, Gerry
Drake, Mary Jo Bridges, Eloise
Robinson, Katheine Oneil, Melis­sa
Winters, Jimmie Nettles, Jean
Bullington, Sara Bailey, a nd
Dale Garber.

Track Future
Insured As
Men Work Out
Track, like every other inter­collegiate
sport, has been dis­continued
at Auburn, but prepar­ations
are being made now for
the time when the Plains will
again be represented by a track
team on the cinder paths of the
South.
Thirty men have been working
out since early fall under the di­rection
of Head Track Coach Wil­bur
Hutsell, who is being assist­ed
by Bob Ortagus, API track
letterman now in the army.
Cross-country running comprised
most of the work during the fall,
but since the beginning of the
year the workouts have been
held on the track.
Jay Green and Robert Gar­rett,
both distance men, are the
only squad members back from
last year's team. However, many
of the new men, upperclassmen
and freshmen alike, are showing
promise and improvement, ac­cording
to Coach Hutsell. Sev­eral
cake winners in the 1943
Cake Race are on the squad, in­cluding
Fred Carley, C. W. Taff,
and M. Q. Horton, who finished
first, second, and third respec­tively
in that 2.7 mile jaunt. Sub­stituting
track workouts for PE
100, the members of the 1944
squad are preparing themselves
for the time in the future when
it will be possible for them to
run for Auburn.
Coach Hutsell pointed out this
week that although Auburn does
not have a track team this year,
and a Tiger team will not enter
the usual dual and conference
meets held in the spring, these
workouts help develop material
that will enable API more near­ly
ready for future track compe­tition.
Coach Hutsell also revealed
that while Auburn will not have
a team in the Southeastern Con­ference
and AAU meets, it is
possible that individuals from
this school may compete in them.
The Southeastern Conference
meet will be held in Birmingham
May 19 and 20. The time and
place of the annual AAU (Am­ateur
Athletic Union) meet has
not yet been definitely determ­ined.
The AAU meet, which was
held in Atlanta last year, is open
to any track and field athlete
with amateur standing, including
servicemen.
