COMMENTS
By VAN HEMERT
THE OFT EXPRESSED BE­LIEF
of many of the nations'
leaders in the impossibility of
our remaining isolated from
our international neighbors in
the future has directed the
thoughts of most Americans
into serious consideration of
our future diplomatic and econ-nomic
policies.
TO PROPERLY UNDER­STAND
this concept of Ameri­can
participation in interna­tional
power politics it is first
necessary to investigate our
policies of the past and pres­ent,
and also, to understand the
basis upon which these poli­cies
were formed.
If I were to explain our pol­icies
in detail, it would take
many pages, even if I were
capable of writing such an
analysis, which I am not. It is
doubtful if any clear picture
could be gained thereby any­way,
since the facts of foreign
policy made available to the
public are inadequate at best.
I shall therefore leave it to
the reader to peruse the avail­able
data at his leisure and
sum up my opinion of our for­eign
policy as briefly as pos­sible.
Our policy has been as
variable as the winds that
blow. Name it and we have
had it, from Theodore Roose­velt's
"big stick" to Warren
Hardings' disillusioned isola­tionism.
OUR PRESENT POLICY is
one of stary-eyed idealism. We
live in "One World." We are
"Good Neighbors." We are
fighting for the "Four Free-,
doms." We have discovered a
new national hobby which has
swept the nation like the
"bingo" and "minature golf"
crazes, that may be termed the
"peace plan" game. Everyone
you meet has a ready made
proposal which is guaranteed
to be a sure fire cure for all the
manifold ills of this world.
World police forces, world
courts, and international arm­ies
are all considered essential
to the future peace and secur­ity
of the world in most of these
proposals.
TO CAP THE CLIMAX we
have announced to the world
that all we want in return for
our tremendous outpourings of
men, money, and materials, is
a "lasting peace with victory."
These are estactic idealistic
dreams for the most part. Not
in the sense that ideals are to
be belittled. On the contrary,
they are magnificient. But, we
are incapable of realizing the
fulfillment of these ambitious
proposals unaided.
We must have the active sup­port
and cooperation of our al­lies
and at least the passive
approvals of our defeated foes.
In the kingdom of our minds
this looks quite possible. In the

Girls Needed
By Glee Club
Plans Include Tour
Of Army Camps,
Concert On Campus
The newly organized Girl's
Glee Club got under way this
week with their first two reher-sals
held on Monday and Thurs­day
nights. Director Lawrence
Barnett announced that more
girls are needed and has invited
all coeds to come out and sing
in the club. There will be no try-outs.
Plans for this quarter include
a concert on the campus and sev­eral
trips to nearby military
camps. Some of the songs which
the Club intend singing are "Be­gin
the Begiune," "Summer­time,"
"This Is Worth Fighting
For," "Smilin' Through," and
"The Man I Love."
Election of oficers will be held
at the next regular rehearsal
Monday, 7 p. m., in the music
studios over Toomer's Drug Store.
Mr. Barnett said that arrange­ments
will be made for the
awarding of glee club keys as in
the past.
NEW GROUP AST'S,
SAILORS ARRIVE
Army Group To Begin Classes October 7th;
Sailors To Train For Twenty-Month Period
A special train bringing 450 new ASTP trainees from the
STAR unit at Ft. McClellan to Auburn arrived Tuesday even--
ing at 7:30 o'clock. Since the arrival was an hour ahead of
schedule, elaborate plans prepared for welcoming the new
men were not carried out. The band and a large portion of
the Auburn student body had expected to be present to meet
the train.

Following the arrival of the
ASTP unit, one hundred blue-clad
sailors from the Great Lakes
Training School came in on the
train Wednesday afternoon and
were carried immediately to their
barracks at Graves Center. They
were met by Commander Edwin
Phillips and Lieutenants 6rr and
Judd.
The new unit of sailors will be
entered in the radio school.for a
period of 20 months, after which
they will be sent to various naval
bases for war service.
The youthful appearance of the
group was very striking. It was
estimated by Commander Phil­lips
that approximately 60 per­cent
of them are under 18 years
of age.
Glomerata To Come Out
Eventually, Says Duggar
In an exclusive interview with
a reporter from The Plainsman,
Fred Duggar announced that the
Glomerata will come out at ap­proximately
the same time it did
last year—the last of February.
He further stated it was his in­tention
to do his utmost to make
this year's Glomerata a worthy
successor to the many note­worthy
Glomeratas. of the past.
When asked if the photographic
staff had taken any pictures yet,
Fred stated that he planned to
start making photographs in a
few weeks.
"IT DIDN'T HURT AND I GOT
OUT OF CLASS/' SAYS DONOR
Under the sponsorship of
Chi Omega sorority the Red
Cross Blood Donor Service of
Atlanta, Ga., set a new record
in Auburn this week. Although
the Red Cross had asked for
480 donors, Lee County and Au­burn
citizens, students, and
service men helped toward
making up the 521 units which
were actually given thus over
the quota by having' 41 addi­tional
donors. A total of 220
units was taken the last day
of the donations. This is the
largest number ever taken by
the Blood Donor Service in one
place during a single day.
By Mimi Simms
Smiles from the girls in the
booth at the Main Gate lured me.
As I came nearer, I heard one
girl ask in a most patriotic voice,
"Don't you want to give your
blood to save a soldier's or a
sailor's life? It really doesn't
hurt, and you can even get out
of class." My conscience kept
hinting I wasn't doing all that I
should, so I placed my "x" on
the dotted line. "We'll mail you
a card telling you when to come,"
she promised.
Each time I thought about do­nating
blood, a feeling of com­plete
self-satisfaction overtook
me. As the day approached, I
was undecided whether to let
my knees—which were very
shaky—or my head—which had
grown several sizes—take charge.
This question was forgotten,
however, when I finally went into
the Baptist Church basement.
Other people were neither swell-headed
or scared silly. They
seemed to be just taking it calm­ly.
About this time a thermomet­er
was thrust into my mouth and
I was bombarded with questions.
The nurse seemed to believe that
I'm not as much a wreck as my
friends imagine, so she sent me
to have my blood pressure taken.
When I had been put on the
bed, she took my arm and paint­ed
it with at least seven differ­ent-
colored disinfectants. A few
minutes later she tied what the
first aid books call "a restricting
band" around my arm. Next she
put a pad in my hand. Making a
small prick under the surface of
the skin, she connected the rub­ber
tube from a sterilized bottle
to my arm. All this was done
while I had my eyes closed, but
I felt that I must know what was
happening, so I opened my eyes
and watched myself "pump" my
blood into the bottle. It was done
by simply opening and closing
my hand at a constant speed.
Before I knew what had hap­pened,
the nurse took the appa­ratus
off. And showed me a pint
bottle full of blood. "Rest a few
minutes before you try to sit
up," she said, although I was
trying to convince her that I felt
fine. When the "few minutes"
were over, I went into the kitchen
and got some more fruit juice.
As I was getting ready to leave,
another of the Motor Corps mem­bers
gave me a blood donor's
button and a Red Cross card say­ing
I had donated blood. In only
half an hour I was able to come
out, proudly showing my band­age
and pin.
Pride and patriotism flowed
through my veins where the re­moved
blood had been. This easy,
necessary, and enjoyable task is
one way that every student can
help our fighting men. Why not
volunteer next time the blood
bank rolls around and see for
yourself how you like it?

Students To Elect Miss Auburn;
Each Dormitory To Nominate One
Raw Deal Disturbs
Peaceful Slumbers
Of Irate Customer
A report is floating about
town to the effect that the lo­cal
soap-sudders and double-creasers
who are turned loose
on our clothes once a week
have at last shown one proof
that they may have a con­science.
It seems that a student visit­ed
them the other day and
showered them with threats
and curses, which isn't at all
unusual—a thing which they
should be accustomed to by
now.
They had lost the lower por­tion
of his pajamas.
Instead of turning their us­ual
deaf ear to the boy, they
faced him with a meek grin
and immediately sent No. 7 out
on the trail of the missing
pants. Don't ask how he did it,
but No. 7, probably after
searching through every house
in Auburn, found the lost ar­ticle,
took it off a startled
sleeper, and returned it to the
rightful owner.
Winner To Participate In Formalities
Following The Traditional Cake Race
The annual election of the coed to serve as Miss Auburn
at the cake-race formalities will be held Wednesday, October
13. The following qualifications are imposed upon those con­cerned
with the election:
Each candidate shall have attended API for one previous
quarter. Only one candidate will be selected from each dorm­itory,
and the candidate's name
and dormitory must-be given to
Gibbs Ashley, telephone 646, be­fore
5 o'clock, September 30.
It is traditional that the win­ner
of the election receive a kiss
from the winner of the cake race
at the ceremony held in the Tig­er
Theater, at which time recog­nition
is given those participat­ing
in the cake race ' and the
prizes are awarded to those fin­ishing
in the first twenty-five.
A picture will be taken some­time
before the election of the
candidates posing on the terrace
of Ross Chemical Hall.
In the past, "Miss Auburn"
has always been featured in the
Glomerata.
Art Exhibit Depicts Various
Nazi Scenes In Caricature
Nazi Santa Promises Water Instead
Of Coffee, Sawdust Instead of Flour
By June Killian
I had been drifting along,- ignorant of and indifferent to
the world of art, when, to my amazement I was informed
that I should visit an exhibit and write my opinion.
Timidly I entered this entirely unfamiliar Architecture
Building where my task began. The first objects to meet my
eye were huge pieces of paper on which were painted gro-tesque
figures. Beneath these
figures was a conglomeration of
letters which looked somewhat
like this: HMCTXY PRZQ BAM-ZITUPV
OPOLALA. Thinking I
had lost every ounce of sensibili­ty,
my first impulse was to run.
My stronger side triumphed,
however, and I decided upon a
close inspection of each poster.
The unusual letters were Russian,
of course.
Along each side of the room
were posters presenting various
Nazi scenes in caricature. Each
one was original and clever; sev­eral
impressed me deeply. For
instance, the one showing a stern,
bewhiskered Nazi Santa Claus
War Bond Show
To Be At Tiger
Next Thursday
Manager Gus Coats of the Tig­er
Theater has announced that
on Thursday, September 30, Fred
Astaire's latest picture, "The
Sky's the Limit," will be shown
as a part of the Tiger's war bond
drive.
The picture will be shown at 8
o'clock and admission will be by
war bonds and savings stamps
only. Adults will be admitted on
proof of bond purchases and chil­dren
must show that they have
purchased $5 in stamps during
the Third War Loan campaign,
now in progress. Details may be
had at the box office of the Tig­er
Theater.
It is believed that the bond
show will draw the largest crowd
in the history of the theater and
will result in Auburn doing its
full share in the bond drive.
Notice To President

president or treasurer of all cam­pus
organizations active since last
spring.
arriving in a tank flaunting a
barren, dried-up shrub (Christ­mas
tree). Ranging on the tree
was a placard bearing the follow­ing
good wishes:
1. Water instead of coffee.
2. Sawdust instead of flour.
3. Cardboard instead of leather.
Another, .which was typical,
was entitled "Scandalous!" It
presented a dialogue of two Nazi
officials.
First Nazi—"I have to remove
5,000 wounded men, and you give
me only one railway car."
Second Nazi—"Can't help it;
the official report declares that
only 65 men were wounded."
Then there was the one head­ed
"Arabian Nights" of the Ger­man
High Command, depicting a
ridiculous Adolph as Caliph. It
read like this:
A Fascist Caliph, called his
favorite Sheheresade to come and
tell him stories to drive away his
gloom. They were wonderful
tales: "One German machine gun
demolished 100,000 firing dots
and 300,917 planes. One corporal
(an ex-postman) captured up to
a million Russian tanks.
When the Caliph asked if the
Germans had sustained any .loss­es
"the answer was that they
were included in the Russian
figure.
In addition to the cartoons
were posters, vividly portraying
the brutal, selfish, overbearing
qualities of Hitler and his deceit­ful
friends (?).
I thoroughly enoyed the ex­hibit
and left, feeling that my
time had not been spent in vain.
We live and learn, don't we?
Council Will Be Active
The Interfraternity Council
will hold its first meeting the
first Monday night in October,
according to a statement made re­cently
by Reuben Brawner, presi­dent
of the council.
The council is composed of
two representatives from each
fraternity on the campus and
correlates the activities of all the
fraternities.

They Make Good Rain Caps, Too
Seeing those new freshmen rat caps re­minds
us that this is still a college and not
an army camp. Not that we object to an
army camp, but we just like to see one
old tradition still persisting when all the
others seem to have vanished. Remember
our football team, gray ROTC uniforms,
hitch-hikers, dances, and horses? They're
gone. For a while we thought priorities
would deprive us of those orange caps, but
one look about the campus Tuesday after­noon
dispelled our doubts.
And now, Freshmen, you have your
caps. Your cooperation in buying and
wearing them has, so far, proved beyond
reproach. Perhaps it is the novelty of the
thing that has inspired such cooperaton,
but novelty has a habit of wearing off. Re­member,
caps don't wear out so easily,
and the few upperclassmen left are going
to be somewhat adamant about having
those little identifications worn.
It's bad psychology to tell anyone that
he must do a thing. Some people are just
stubborn and would rather die (some
have) than obey when told to do things,
even if the task is pleasant. So we will
merely say that it has always been a tra­dition
that freshmen wear those caps. We
won't elaborate upon the little epsodes
that occurred back in the dim,dark past
when upperclassmen carried a paddle in
each hip pocket and kept a sharp eye out
for bare-headed freshmen. But the meth­ods
were efficient, and the freshmen wore
their caps. And, of course, that was bef jre
the anti-lynch law was passed.
Most of you freshmen have heard that
beer and whiskey don't mix. Well, neither
does a rat cap. and that main gate. Make
that number eleven on your daily rules of
"How To Keep Healthy." Observe it be­fore
and after you brush your teeth.
Coeds look stunning in rat caps but an­other
part of that old tradition reserves
the privlege of wearing the caps for male
rats only. And since there is a shortage of
caps it does seem only fair that the rat
men should have preference.
An added incentive for wearing those
caps might concern hitch-hikers. Those
old Auburn ROTC "war hats" are unavail­able
to fresfemen, but rat caps might serve
the purpose. They're mighty purty.
There Are Enough Girls To Prevent This
A free dance has been held for the en­tertainment
of the students and service­men
every Saturday night for the past
quarter. These dances are held rain or
shine and without expense to those attend­ing.
The entire expense of the dances is
borne by the college and the work con­nected
with staging them is done by vol­unteers
who receive no pay for their
services.
These dances are usually well-attended
and when rain or inclement weather forc­es
them to be held in the gym—as it soon
will every Saturday night—the dance
floor naturally becomes crowded. Those
in charge are glad to see a large crowd
there for then they know that their efforts
are yielding some results, anyway.
However, the m. c. is forced to spend a
great part of his time asking the stags to
stay as much off the dancing-area as pos­sible.
One request is not sufficient—this
request must be made every ten or fifteen
minutes and, if it grows monotonous to
us, imagine how the m. c. feels!
One young lady was heard to remark,
"Whenever anyone bumps into us, it's not
another dancing couple—it's some stag
strolling around the floor." This type of
crowd is not gratifying to those in charge
for it only adds to the discomfort of those
attending.
What the stags fail to realize is that if
they were to move back off the floor the
dancers could spread out more and the
men without partners could see just as
well from back as they could from up
close.
Maybe we are wrong. Maybe the daric-ers
prefer to be crowded. But, if so, why
does the m. c. receive so many requests
to ask the stags to move off the floor?
Surely, if the college and those in charge
can bear the expense and the work con­nected
with the dances, those attending
can cooperate.
What Will They Feed Him On?
In the past week we have had the du­bious
pleasure of witnessing, from a dis­tance
of course, one of the most spectacu­lar
rescues of the war. That is, if we might
call it a rescue because we refer to the
recent bold strategy by means of which
Hitler was able to release his pal, Benito,
from his imprisonment at the hands of the
Bagdolio government. We do not know
exactly what Adolph had in mind when he
ordered Benito's rescue. He probably plans
to use him in much the same way that he
now uses Lord Haw-Haw. The voice of
Italy, and all that stuff. And, boy!, that's
all it is is stuff. Fat stuff at that. In fact
we might refer to Benito as the stuff that
dreams are made of. Pipe dreams, of
course. .,
Viewing the event from a purely adven­turous
standpoint, however, you must
agree that it would make good fiction ma­terial.
Picture the brassy Dictator reduced
to such ignomy that he must be rescued
from the clutches of those whom he form­erly
ordered about like automotams.
And what a rescue! Though the details
are lacking, the imagination is fired with
such dashing phrases as, "parachute troop­ers
free Mussolini,"—"Italian guards dis­obey
orders by not shooting Mussolini,"—
"Tonight Mussolini speaks to his people
from Berlin," etc. Can't you just imagine
the dramatic arrival of the parachute
troops! The brief, shanp fight between the
Italian guards and the parachutists! (Con­sidering
there was one. Spectiilar! Even
sounds a bit like a Cecil B. DeMille movie.
Which s the point of this., editorial. In
short; DeMille came out on top in this
deal. He got a good plot without paying
$50,000 for it. All Adolf got was Benito.

There are various types of magic—black, white and hoodoo.
Or is hoodoo black magic? We couldn't say. But if the people
who hoodoo people are black, does that hoodoo black? We dun-no
and it doesn't matter.
A marvelous avocation for professors is the practice of
magic. (Isn't there something paradoxical about a professor
being a necromancer?—we hope that was subtle enough!—
They should be ashamed!)
A professor is a magician if he lectures in such a manner
that the sophomore on the back row, by that Varga blonde,
listens—and not to the blonde!
And a Varga blonde is a magician if she—or a reasonable
facsimile thereof—can pass a contingent of ASTPs between
classes without producing the usual whistles and witty (?)
remarks on the part of said ASTPs.
ASTPs are magicians if they can jump around at the every
whim of the General from 6:00 to 9:30 and then date the Varga
blonde every night while keeping the necessary disposition
and grades to remain in good graces of the General—by which
we mean the Powers That Be.
And speaking of power, let's talk about magic. Now it's
there. Now it isn*t. If you can keep up with it, you are a better
man than Gunga Din and his brother.
The most entertaining of magic is the sleight-of-hand. For
who, in his right mind, likes to see a luscious brunette disected
through her midrif? And what rational being—particularly
one of the female sex (if such is in existence!)—really enjoys
seeing a handsome stage assistant disappear before her very
eyes, even if it is only through a trap door?
Our worthy opponent—skip that!—Our fellow columnist,
Private Marsh might find the art of sleight-of-hand valuable
to him in his game of you-know-what (read his column—pd.
adv.) but we wouldn't suggest that you try "it. People have
been hung for less than that.
Speaking of people we would like to see on one end of a
rope, brings us back to the professor—poor guy; he's the brunt
of too too much collegiate wit-divided-by-two—who juggles
his subject around so that now it's there; now it isn't. It is most
amusing to try to guess in whose ear he hid it. Sometimes he
isn't successful and it goes in one ear and comes out the other
as the saying goes.
Home Ec children think it would take a magician to make
engineering courses interesting; Engineering Children think it
would take a magician to make the Arts interesting; and the
Fine Arts Children must be skilled in the art of necromancy—
in general sense—or they couldn't stand labs all morning, all
afternoon, and all the evening.
Our honorable editor is said to feel the need of an Ibistick
or Mandrake, himself, (you should read the comics!) in order
to please the staff, the students, the faculty, the townspeople,
and the rest of her enemies.
She isn't a magician, but in the Kapacity of the JCutest
Koed in the Klientele of Necromancers—by which he does not
mean the pun, in this instance—says, "I dunno, but I think
there's some sleight-of-hand going on in Barracks B, on ac-counta
my telephone number really gets around! (I'm not an­gry,
of course.) Confidentially, doesn't the word, necroman-cing,
remind you of Ag Hollow?"

Needless to say he was quickly
relieved of his newly won honors.

Freshmen are cautioned about
the "not-cut" rule for ROTC
classes and drill. There are no
cuts authorized but the cadet may
be granted two excused absences
by getting permission from his
instructor in advance or satisfac­torily
explaining his absence at
the next meeting of the class.

A year ago at this time there
were 2009 ROTCs in the Auburn
Cadet Corps, organized as a bri­gade
of three regiments, with the
band. This quarter there is a to­tal
of 429 ROTCs organized as a
battalion with the band.
Military training of the ASTP
makes up largely for the loss of
men in ROTC. Before the quar­ter
is over, there will be over
1200 soldiers on the campus tak­ing
various courses of academic
work besides the military class
and drill. Auburn students in
veterinary medicine and former
first and second year advanced
course ROTC men make up part
of the group of soldier-trainees.
The others are men ordered to
Auburn to take the basic cours­es
and a smaller group to take
the advanced courses in engineer­ing.
The war program has made
many changes in Auburn.

Rhapsodizings
By FRANK MARSH
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
In this oolnmn are those of -the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
Cheating is what I enjoy about
college.
* * *
It is axiomatic that cheating
hurts no one but the cheater. The
people in charge of colleges ap­preciate
this point of view and
make the assumption that cheat­ing
is possible only when the
professors permit it.
* * *
"!• If the instructor is going td*
catch it if he reports cases of
cheating he just won't report
them. And the result is a pleas­ing
absence of any serious quib­bling
about cheating.
* * *
This situation is much better
than having our teachers stalk
about us while we take quizzes as
if they were junior candidates
for the gestapo.
* « *
Accepting the fact that cheat­ing
is our second nature also en­ables
us to avoid adopting an
honor system. And believe me,
honor systems aren't to be trust­ed.
* * *
I had a friend once, poor thing,
who went on a hayride with an
honor system as the chaperone.
It's an interesting story, but we
will make it short. The moral is
that anything would have made
a better chaperone.
All that is desired is that the
students do their cheating with
moderation. Cheating is a good
thing, but, as Aristotle says,
"You can overdo it."
* * *
Most of what one learns at col­lege
could be, or perhaps is,
learned without ever entering a
classroom. But it's harder that
way. So we have teachers to
make it easier.
* * *
Now if a little clean cheating
helps make it still easier, why
should anyone object?
* * *
There are those who say that
cheating is wrong. That it's the
same as stealing. (Of course, these
people are crack pots who think
everything that's fun is wrong.)
* * *
But what is cheating anyway?
You're just borrowing a little in­formation.
So what? The moon
borrows light from the sun; the
sun borrows water from the sea;
the sea borrows land from the
earth; and so on and so forth.
» * *
It's all simply a part of the cy­cle
of self-preservation and no­body
can stop that. As a matter
of fact, no farsighted person
would ever want to.
* * *
-I'm not writing this because
there are any objections to cheat­ing.
In fact, opinion polls indicate
that a big majority of people are
all for cheating.
* * »
Nevertheless, just because con­ditions
are abnormal a few rab­ble-
rousers might try to stop our
cheating system. But these rab­ble-
rousers — whether they be
students, faculty members, or the
administrators—had better be
careful. For there is always the
possibility that they would be
placed in a hypocritical light.
* * *
Once upon a time people con­sidered
cheating unethical. They
also thought a horse for each
household was indispensable. But
we of today have sent both ideas
on the way of all horse-flesh.
* * *
My dear young friends, that is
an accomplishment of which we
may all be proud.
* • *
We needn't worry about work­ing
a problem so long as anyone
else in the class can work it. The
dean's list, always a vicious
thing, need no longer be filled
with bookworms.
* » *
Dating privileges will be ex­tended
even to the beautiful co­eds.
Vast resources of priceless
youthful initiative are now avail­able
for new and valuable chan­nels
of study such as campuso-logy.
* * »
New horizons await us, and he
who hesitates is lost. Or worse
still, he who hesitates must study
—but no one need hesitate.
* * *
Then as now, our keynote will
be realism. And to hell with the
water that's under the dam, full
speed ahead.

mind!—Ed.)

to our discomforture, that we
are peacefully dreaming in a
world of insomniacs. That we
are impractical idealists in a

world.
IF WE CONTINUE to ex-pounnd
our childlike "belief in

those lofty ideals which at
present form the basis of our
war aims, we are in for an­other
period of disillusionment
such as we suffered after
World War I.
Needless to say, we must not
crawl back in our shell again
as we did after the last war. We
certainly must recognize the
fact that isolationism in the
twentieth century world is for
us a thing of the past. But, let's
see the world as it really is.
