Team Members To
Be Awarded Gold
Softballs At Parade
The Co-op Battalion of Engineers
last week won the Softball
championship of the cadet corps.
They defeated the 3rd Battalion,
2nd Field Artillery, which was
the only remaining team in the
league.
Under the pitching of C. L.
Huey, Hueytown, the co-ops won
all of their games. C. R. Winnette
caught for the co-ops in all their
games.
Cadet Lt. Col. D. J. MacKnight
will honor the victorious co-op
team at a party to be given next
Tuesday evening.
After eliminations had narrow
down to three teams in each
regiment remaining in the league,
straws were drawn to determine
the system of final games, opponents,
etc.
The softball league was made
up of all companies of the Engineers
Corps and all batteries of
the Field Artillery. Also included
in the softball competition was a
league composed of the naval
contingent temporarily stationed
in Auburn.
The different batteries and
companies opposed each other in
the competition for the championship.
Eliminations were held until
only three teams remained in
each regiment and then the final
playoff was held.
By winning the championship
of the cadet corps in softball the
co-ops will be awarded gold baseballs
at the graduation parade
tomorrow. Individual balls will
be distributed to members of the
winning team by the military department.
A record of the co-ops play
follows:
April 17: Co-ops—10, 3rd Bn,
1st FA—3.
April 28: Co-ops—11, No. 1
Navy team—1.
May 5: Co-ops—13, 2nd Bn,
2nd FA—1.
Playoff: May 9: Co-ops—9, 2nd
Bn, 1st FA—5.
May 14: Co-ops—13, 3rd Bn,
2nd FA.
Where Did The
War Stamps Go
From the Dances?
For the past three months admission
to all fraternity dances
has been one ten-cent war
stamp with each dance bid. Perhaps
this will answer the question:
"Where do the war stamps
go?"
The Interfraternity Council
decided at it's February meeting
that admission to fraternity dances
should be, besides the usual
bid, one ten-cent war stamp. All
war stamps were to be put into
war bond books and given to the
Red Cross.
Alpha Phi Omega, national
service fraternity, was asked by
the Interfraternity Council to
handle the sale and collection of
war stamps. Alpha Phi Omega
gladly responded to the Interfraternity
Council's request to help
carry on a worthy project.
Alpha Phi Omega reports that
the sales were most gratifying.
As a result, $392.40 in war
bonds and stamps is being turned
over to the Red Cross.
Glomeratas to Be
Distributed Only To
Fully Paid Students
According to an announcement
made yesterday by Glomerata
Business Manager Sam Nettles,
Glomeratas will be distributed
now only to those students who
have paid both semester's student
activities fees.
Students who are entitled by
this to receive a Glomerata are
urged to report to the office in the
Buildings and Grounds building
immediately.
Because of an insufficient supply
of the books, it will be impossible
to distribute them to
students who have paid only one
semester's fees. However, if any
of those students are interested
in obtaining a book, they may do
so by leaving their names at the
Glomerata Office, for contact by
Glomerata officials this summer.
Nine Students, Dean Allen

Awarded Cup
By Players
Robert O. Haas, of Mobile, has
been awarded the silver cup
which is given each year to the

Summer Traffic Safety Program on Campus TREND OF THE TIMES . . . Wintzell
"15", "20", "15", "20", and so on up and
down the streets on the campus. For the
last few days we've been seeing those
numbers painted along the middle line of
most of the paved roads on the campus.
They aren't part of any initiation and
they don't have, as one girl suggested, anything
to do with where the boys are supposed
to stand before drill. Those numbers
are the reminders of the new speed
limits that are soon going into effect on
all campus streets.
This summer there is going to be a safety
program here, and part of this is the
slowing down of cars that whiz by on all
the campus thoroughfares. There are several
hundred cars on the campus and
streets are obviously places for cars to go,
but for every hundred cars here there
are at least one thousand students walking
from building to building all day. And even
with all the new sidewalks, a lot of the
pedestrian traffic must flow along the
•streets. Then too, there are the many intersections
where the students who walk
must leave the sidewalks. Therefore, it is
just common sense that dictates that the
streets must serve as sidewalks a large
part of the time, and as long as there are
cars and pedestrians competing for the
same space, there is danger of an accident.
It hasn't been so long since there were two
accidents at the Library corner in one
week.
The plan is to slow down automobile
traffic so that those who walk will have
a better chance of gettfng to where they
are walking. There are lots of times when
students are in too great a hurry to get
nowhere in particular in their cars.
The authorities of the school have asked
that every student, driver or pedestrian,
start trying to be just a little more careful.
Also, every driver is expected to remain
within the speed limit of 20 miles
per hour on the main streets that cross
the campus and 15 miles per hour on the
short stretches and turns. The suggestion
that a state patrolman be called into service
as campus traffic officer has been
tabled for the time being while the idea
of making a success of this safety drive
by student cooperation is tried. If students
interest and compliance does not do the
job then we will have the patrolman and
the enforcement of the speed limit by the
law. It will be a lot easier and more pleasant
if we all just try to remember that
the streets with the '20's" in them have a
20 mile per hour limit and the ones with
the "15's", a 15 mile top; and after we
remember the limit, let's all abide by it.
J. S.
Elimination of "Giving the Razzberries"
(Editor's Note: The following article was
presented to us by a former student and
was written by a young lady, also an Au-burnite.)
"We deny the privilege of criticizing
our Alma Mater to those who do not belong
to us and resent the slightest slighting
remark, but if one who is a member of
the fold might offer a suggestion we wish
that every student would think for a minute
of our rude and cowardly habit of
booing any performer or speaker whom
we dislike. Whether we call it by the dignified
name of the "Bronx cheer" or "giving
'em the razzberries" doesn't help a
bit.
"That it is rude, no one, not even the
most ardent "booers" will deny; in fact
it was meant to be so, but perhaps they
have given little thought to the fact that
it is cowardly. How many of the "booers"
would stand alone and make fun of the
speaker? However, lost in the crowd and
secure in the knowledge that their voices
will not be recognized or their names
known they can howl cat calls upon the
slightest provocation. Wherein is this different
from stabbing a fellow in the back?
We will skip over the well known fact
that all the cat-callers could give a much
more creditable performance than the person
on the platform. If you don't like the
poor fish's delivery do something about it
besides hiding behind the skirts (figuratively
speaking and with a bow of deepest
apology to most of the "booers") of
the rest of the gang and throwing stones.
"A good deal has been said lately about
hurting or helping our dear college—may
we respectfully suggest that the elimination
of the Bronx cheer would do a great
deal toward improving the reputation for
courtesy of our stronger and handsome
sex." F. P.
The 355 Fighters, and the Ones Behind Them
A news release from the News Bureau
of API recently stated that approximately
eighty-five percent of Auburn's male
graduates, to receive their degrees June 1,
would go into the armed forces of the nation
immediately.
The other fifteen percent, according to
the release, will enter industries vital to
the war effort.
Of that eighty-five percent of the graduating
class, a large number will climax
four years of training tomorrow when they
receive their commissions in the Field
Artillery Reserve, or the Engineer Corps
Reserve, at the graduation parade.
Many of the remainder of the 418 will
enter the army as privates, either through
draft or enlistment of one type or another.
Several will enter Army and Naval
Aviation training courses, to receive their
wings as flying officers. Others will enter
Naval Reserve Training Schools to work
on Commissions as Ensigns—as deck officers.
A few will enter the Marine Corps,
either as trainees for Marine Commissions,
or as officers.
Just as important as these, however, are
the other fifteen percent, who, while the
larger number go to fight in uniform, will
do the fighting behind the lines, turning
out arms, supplies, foodstuffs, and clothes
for those in armed service.
Theirs is just as big a job. Perhaps bigger.
It takes almost twenty of them, at
home, to supply one soldier on the front.
But not mentioned in the release are the
approximately one hundred and sixteen
women students who will receive their
degrees also on June 1.
They too, are important to the success
of our war effort. An old saying goes
something like, "Behind every soldier
there's a woman." And whether she's his
mother, or his wife, or his sweetheart, or
just a friend, he's a better fighting man
because of her.

Foreign Language Experts
Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by
mail: $2.50 per year, $1.50 per semester.
The Intelligence branches of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps
need persons able to read and write Japanese, Modern Icelandic,
Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Russian. College women who are
expert in foreign languages are eligible to take civil training examinations
for positions as translators. A small number of positions as
expert linguists connected with the Office of the Alien Property
Custodian are also reported to be open to qualified women. Women
college graduates who have special training in library work may
qualify for positions as finger-print classifiers in the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, Department of Justice.
Positions are also open to women for Staff Dietitians in government
hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Public Health Service,
the Veteran's Bureau, and the War Department. These are for women
who have completed a four-year college course with a major in dietetics,
and also an approved graduate training course. Pay is $1,800
a year, with certain deductions when quarters, laundry, or subsistence
are provided for by the government. Positions in related fields paying
$1,620 a year will also be filled from among the successful applicants.
Dental Hygienists
There is also a need for a limited number of women dental hygienists
for service outside the continental United States with the
Army Medical Corps. These must be high-school graduates who have
also graduated from an approved school of oral hygiene, and had at
least two years experience as state-licensed dental hygienists. Pay
is $1,620 a year.
Women specialists in mathematics, physics, and other sciences
basic to aviation may be employed in Army Air Corps Technical
Schools as instructors in these sciences. Women workers will undoubtedly
be employed to an increasing extent in aircraft factories.
College-trained women who enter such employment, if found to be
adapted and successful in it, will presumably have superior chances
of advancing to supervisory positions. It is pointed out, however,
that young women who are successful students in courses leading to
high levels of technical, professional, or managerial service, should
continue their studies with a view toward filling present and prospective
shortages at those levels.
Courses Available to Women,
Some of the courses that are available to women who are preparing
for such positions are the following: mathematics—algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, and some calculus, functions, graphs, and
some surveying; physics—standard course with special emphasis on
electricity, magnetism, hydraulics, mechanics, heat, light, sound,
force and motion, optics, principles of internal combustion engines,

(Editor's note: This column was written today by Milton Kay,
Freshman in Foreign Service for Anniston. You've seen his byline in
The Plainsman before. At the present time, he's working in the
News Bureau office, here at the college. This column was first
written at that office, in the form of a news story. But we think it's
worth publication on anybody's editorial page.)
Women in War Work
By MILTON KAY
An' extensive survey conducted by the Women's Bureau of the
United States Department of Labor disclosed that more than 2,000,000
women will be needed for work on the production of war materials
before the end of 1942. New jobs are being created through the breakdown
of processes into the simpler and less skilled operations, therefore
shorter training periods are called for and less skill and actual
strength are required.
Women are being employed in the machine shops, on the assembly
lines, and at inspection posts. One aircraft plant, having none but
male employees heretofore, expects to take more women; in February
they had 27 women on the production line, and by the end of
this summer the number may increase to 6,000.
Another large company with branch plants in different parts of
the country has tried out women in one of its locations and expects
to hire them elsewhere as soon as plans formulate for various occupations.
A large rubber goods manufacturer had representatives touring
the country visiting the various co-educational and women's colleges
seeking women who have majored in chemistry.
Ammunition plants already employ large numbers of women for
making ammunition for small arms and artillery. In the mechanical
time-fuse department of a government arsenal, 96 per cent of the
workers are women.
Some electrical manufacturing companies are asking for women
college graduates who have concentrated in mathematics, chemistry,
or physics to serve as assistant engineers for work on estimates and
mathematical computations; some women will also be able to find
positions^as radio physicists and technicians.

And this is next to the last one,
after three years. But don't stop
now. If. you're expecting a lot
of sob stuff, you'll have to wait
until next time. That's when we'll
take down our back hair and
weep some tearful farewells.
* * *
Right now, we're still enrolled
in this institution, and having
a great time of it.
* * *
One thing we're feeling good
about is that movie shot of the
Annapolis men drilling we saw
Sunday. That third rank from
the rear was undressed as a Gypsy
Rose finale, and matched any
second platoon line we might
have to offer.
» * *
Which goes to show that nobody's
perfect.
* * *
Off the subject . . .
A lot of seniors are wondering
whether graduation invitations
should be called invitations, announcements,
or souvenirs.
* * *
A former Auburn student
named Jim Franklin is in town
now. He's on furlough from a
pontoon company just out from
Wilmington, Delware. He went
in as a private last fall, and he
likes the army and his post.
* * *
He's with a bunch of New
Yorkers, and says they are swell
fellers. At first, he was a little
worried about being way up there
with all those Yankees, but now
he says, "They're fine folks.
They're just like us down here."
* * *
And that's right. They're like
us, and we're all on the same
team, and we're going to lick the
(censored) out of those (censored,
censored, censored).
* * *
Tomorrow there're going to
be a lot of Second Lieutenants
running around loose. What we
mean, there are going to be a lot
of them. And we've a feeling
a lot of folks are going to have
a lot of salutin' to do.
* * *
But term papers are due, and
past due. Term papers are
lengthy written work assigned
at the beginning of the semester
and postponed indefinitely. It
just proves that a good man can
do a semester's work in one
night if he has to.
* * *
The above is concerned entirely
with term papers, and any
similarity between that subject
and any subjects dead or alive is
purely coincidental.
* * *
And tch, tch, tch! You oughta
be ashamed.
* * *
We have a wonderful idea for
making rubber outa sugar, but
we may have read of it someplace.
Anyhow, it ain't quite practical
unless we grow a lot of sugar
cane.
» * *
And any ideas for producing
rubber and sugar outa coffee and
tea are in poor taste, as they said
of the feller who drank a mixture
of benzine and geranium
roots and said it was fine.
* * *
You can add gasoline to that,
unless a lot of submarines develop
jittery marksmanship.
* * *
About three more Russian victories
and they'll pin a medal on
Earl Browder.
* * *
And if the Reds hold throughout
the summer, they'll put a
statue of old Browder in every
public square . . . on a horse.
* * *
Karrie, the Kampus Kommen-'
tator, Komments, "I'll wager
Italy would like mightly well to
draw another horse in this sweepstakes
by now. Picking these
'sure winners' ain't always safe!"

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.
U. S. Offensive
A joint army-navy communique,
released this past weekend,
said that this country had made
many new and important gains
against the Japanese while we
were in the midst of preparing to
snatch the offensive from them.
The communique revealed that
we had made naval raids on Wake
Island, Marshall Islands, Marcus
Island and that we had bombed
Japan itself. The communique
further pointed out the successes
of our planes based in Australia
and the victories of our navy in
the Battle of Coral Sea.
The successes of our fighting
forces in the present stage of the
battle plainly point out that we
are going to take the offensive
much sooner than many people
originally thought. Simultaneously,
reports from throughout the
nation last week told of the growing
confidence of the American
public that we would soon be
on our way to a victory over the
Japs and Germans. The confidence
in our ability to bring
about an end to the conflict must
not be construed by the public to
mean that we can do it over
night. On the contrary, it will
take many months of planning
and preparing before we will be
in a position to effect an end to
this war.
The seizure of the island of
Madagascar is one typical example
that can be offered that many
months of tedious preparation
will be required to win this war.
Winston Churchill said that many
months of planning and arranging
took place before Madagascar was
taken. If we are to gain complete
control of the Far East and of
the continent of Europe we must
plan our every move and see that
our attacking forces are adequately
prepared for the battle.
Invasion?
The recent talks by Churchill
bear out the fact that England
is preparing to do something big.
Many authorities believe that Mr.
Churchill is merely testing the .
English people in an effort to determine
their wants and their
feeling about the conflict.
In England and in America
many people are clamoring for
an invasion of the continent.
These people feel that it is our
duty to Russia. It is true that an
invasion of the coast, or even in
Norway, would be of great help
to the Russians at the present
time. The Russians are having to
fight to defend all they hold dear,
and without our support, in manpower,
they will have a difficult
time in stopping the Germans.
An invasion of the continent
would force Hitler to remove part
of his troops from the Russian
battle front and send them to
meet the invader. Along with
the removed troops would go air
support, mechanized units, and
all other instruments of war. The
removal of this force from the
Russian front would greatly improve
the chances of the Russians'
holding the Germans in check.
Russian Front
Fighting on a 3,000 mile Russian
front has been going on for
more than a week and both sides
have made various claims of
victories.
The Russians seemingly are
making steady progress against
the German forces in the Kharkov
area and the Germans are reported
to be driving back the
Russians on the Kerch Peninsula.
Many of the reports from the
front are not detailed enough to
accurately describe the successes
or defeats of either army, but
they do show that this is a fight
that the Germans must win in
order to stall off defeat. Germany
must get to the Caucasian oil
fields in order to secure enough
fuel to keep her planes in the air.
If the Russians can stop the Germans
and if we can get enough
supplies to the Russians the Nazi
regime will begin to wilt.
Stopping the Germans will be
a difficult task. They have spent
many months in preparation for
this attack and they do not intend
to be halted. In order that
we may win a final victory in
the not too distant future we must
stop the Germans in their present
drive against the Russians.
The fighting abilities of the Russians
and the continuous trek of
supplies to them from this country
are the prerequisites for a
victory.

Track Team Finishes in Sixth Place in Final SEC Meet
LSU Again Takes Top
Honors in Birmingham
Ball Takes Only Tiger First, In
Two Mile; Places Third in Miler
By JOHN PIERCE
Auburn's track squad put the lid on it's 1942 season Saturday
afternoon in Birmingham, finishing sixth in a field of
ten teams entered in the Southeastern Conferece meet on
Legion Field.
Louisiana State, perennially the SEC champion, took its
fifth crown in as many years as it scored 48 points to edge
Georgia Tech. The Jacket total was 40. Other teams in order
were: Alabama, 35; Mississippi State, 32; Vanderbilt, 21; Auburn,
16; Tulane, 11; Georgia, 10;
Tennessee, 8; and Kentucky, 5.
Despite Friday's bad weather
which threatened to mar individual
performances, the meet
proved the best show in several
years from the final standpoint
of times and closeness of the contestants'
records.
Ball Repeats
Only Plainsman to take a top
place was relentless John C. Ball,
junior distance runner, who repeated
as the Conference two-mile
champion and ran an outstanding
race in the mile before
dropping back to third place at
the stretch in which spot he finished.
His time in the two-mile
was 10:01.2, 19 seconds above his
best time, but sufficient for a
comfortable margin over runner-up
Monroe of Tulane.
Three of the Auburn points
were taken by Herbert Burton,
who tied for fourth in the high
jump and took fourth in the
broad jump.
Coach Hutsell clocked Capt.
Jack Brush at 9.9 in the 100-yard
dash, yet that time was sufficient
to take only a fifth place behind
Blondy Black, Lamar Davis, Ed
Ryckeley and Bob Percy.
Other scorers for Auburn were:
Ernest Reed, fifth in the 440;
John Grimes, fifth in the 880; and
the Tiger relay team, composed
of Flynn Morris, Bob Morton,
Burton and Reed which finished
fifth.

NAVY BLUES
A Navy Wedding
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to love, so the
Bards have it. With one wedding and several in the offing we print
a ceremony originated years ago by a lonely Navy wife:
"Wilt thou, Jack, have this woman to be thy wedded wife; to
live together in so far as the Bureau of Navigation will allow?
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor her, take her to the movies;
bring her home plenty of commissary stores, and come ashore with
the first liberty party?"
"I will."
"Wilt thou, Jane, have this sailor to be thy wedded husband,
bearing in mind liberty hours, boat schedules, watches, sudden
moves and other penalties of Navy life. Wilt thou obey him and
serve him, honor and wait for him, and keep his socks darned?"
"I will."
"I, Jack, take thee to be my wedded wife, from 4:30 P. M. to
7:30 A. M. as far as permitted by the Commanding Officer, liberty
subject to change without notice; for better, for worse, for earlier,
for later, to love and cherish, and I promise to write thee when my
ship leaves port."
"I, Jane, take thee, Jack, to be my wedded husband, subject to
the whims of the Commanding Officer, changing residence when
ever the transfers come through, to have, to hold, just so long as
the allotment comes in regularly, and, therefore, I give thee my
troth."
Auburn ROTC Unit
Auburn has justification for intense pride in her ROTC unit.
These boys make an impressive sight on the drill field. Smartness
on a drill field or in the appearance of a ship represents, to a
trained eye, many valuable points, such as cooperation, pride, and
good leadership. Add all those things to an American and you
have a good fighter.
