Tigers Meet Georgia Here in Two-Game Return Series
Milner, Kronfeld To
Hurl for Auburn
Today and Tomorrow
Georgia Bulldogs will grace the
Auburn diamond today and to­morrow
for a pair of games with
the Tigers. Today's game will
begin at 3 P. M. while the one
tomorrow will commence at 2.
The first series between these
two clubs this year was a fifty-fifty
affair with each winning a
game over in Athens. Walt Mil­ner
won his second game of the
season at the expense of the Bull­dogs
and Tommy Mastin saw de­feat
at the hands of the unusual­ly
strong "canines," but his de­feat
was due largely to the poor
fielding team behind him.
Milner will be seeking his
fourth straight triumph as he
toes the rubber in his fourth
start today. Besides beating
Georgia, with a six hit job, Walt
has turned in victories over Og­lethorpe
and Georgia Tech. His
best performance to date has been
the four hitter he pasted on the
Yellow Jackets last Friday. Get­ting
better and better in each
appearance, Milner should be in
rare form for the game today.
Tomorrow's hurler will most
likely be the rookie who came
through with his first win last
Saturday in a six hit victory
over Tech, Turner Kronfeld. His
control, exceptionally good, and
his curve, working like a charm,
Kronfeld won for himself a start­ing
berth on the mound staff
with that showing and Coach
Hitchcock is mighty proud to
find this replacement for the in­eligible
Marvin Motley.
Another rookie who won his
spot last week was shortstop Buck
Jenkins. Jenkins will be in the
short field in this weekend's
games. At first will be Frank
Williams, second, Clarence Har-kins,
third, Tap Willis, and this
infield should be in good work­ing
order judging by past per­formances.
Covering the garden will be
a trio of speed merchants in Jim
Martin, Lloyd Cheatham, and
Jack Curlee.

Winners to Receive
Bracelets; Dance
To be Friday Night
By PAT FORD
Back up there* boys and girls,
and tread water! It has been said
that the ratio on this campus is
5 to 1—need I say in whose favor?
But I guarantee you that in the
near future you'll think it 5 to 1
in favor of the fairer sex.
Plans have been completed by
the Woman's Athletic Associa­tion
for what it hopes will he-come
an annual event—Sadie
Hawkins Week. You've all heard
of the "gal." She's the one Lil'
Abner of comic strip fame
has been avoiding in the annual
"get-yore-man" (if you don't
someone else will) race held in
Dogpatch, Kentucky for nigh on­to"
250 years.
The big week-end will begin
with the Auburn version of the
famous race Thursday, April 23.
That varigated crowd you see in
front of the chemistry building
about 5 o'clock will be "it." Don't
become alarmed, just follow the
crowd in that direction, and
watch the fun. Due to limited
space, there will be only one pur­sued.
Jimmy Butt is the lucky
man. All you Auburn coeds are
qualified for entrance in the race
(and after the above statement,
will surely run.) Competition will
indeed be keen as the winner of
this race will achieve fame in
the same direction as a Canadian
Mounty—you know, always gets
his man.
To the winner of this race (who
incidentally, will be judged so
by Joe Meadows, Bob Anderson,
and Bill Moore), will go a gold
bracelet on which will be en­graved
"W. A. A. 1942" and to
her will go the great honor of
being "Miss Sadie Hawkins of
'42." As Miss Hawkins she will
reign over the remainder of the
week. And even if you don't hap­pen
to be the lucky girl who
catches Jimmy and wins the gold
bracelet, you will still have
another chance at a prize. A cos­tume
prize of a similar bracelet
is to be given to the girl who
looks the most like Daisy Mae—
or any Dogpatch beauty, Fruit­ful
or Frightful, or even city
cousin, Delightful. The contest­ants
for the costume prize are to
be judged at the race on Thurs­day.
Come on, now, gals, give
those curls a Daisy Mae twist,
put on your shortest skirt, pick
up a little of the native tongue,
and you be the one to win.
Continuing t h e celebration,
Kickapoo Joy Juice, the genuine
stuff, will be served in its native
state all Friday afternoon, April
24, in front of Ross Chemical
Building. You can't miss the
place. Pictures of Lil' Abner and
his Dogpatch life are to decorate
the booth. If you happen to be

WASHINGTON—(ACP)—Secretary of
War Stimson has announced that 100,000
men and women will be trained for civil­ian
war jobs—inspectors at Government
factories, depots and arsenals; production
workers, etc.—in Government and State-owned
schools. Students will be paid $900
to $1,440 a year while in training. (Men
trained must be "outside" Selective Ser­vice
requirements.)

Civil Service here in Washington vir­tually
assures stenographers a job within
one week of filing an application. Within
the next few weeks Civil Service must
furnish 1,000 stenographers to Washington
war agencies.
Typing and shorthand skills are an ex­cellent
entering wedge if you are inter­ested
in working for Uncle Sam and can't
discover any vacancies in your field. Your
chances of transferring to the kind of work
for which you are especially trained are
termed "very good' if the specialty you
are seeking ties with the war effort.
War
More than 5 per cent of the nation's 20-
year-olds who registered in the last draft
are college students—some 136,700 of them.
They were assigned order numbers March
17 and prospects of an early military ca­reer
are very real for most of them.
The War Department says that begin­ning
June 1, quotas will probably call for
men in both the first (21-35) age group and
the second age group (20-year-olds and
36-45-year-olds.)
Local boards have been instructed to mail
questionnaires to registrants in the second
age group in "sufficient numbers to insure
filling of the June call entirely from this
age group if necessary."

According to an OCD survey of 400 col­lege
newspapers, more than half are send­ing
the school paper free of charge to form­er
students now in military service.
The University of Hawaii was included
in the survey, but a letter from Frederick
Tom, president of the Hawaiian A. S. U.
explained that the student newspaper
couldn't answer the questionnaire because
publication stopped Dec. 7. Enrollment has
dropped 65 per cent; almost the entire staff '
of .the paper, Ka Leo O Hawaii, has left
school.

Working College Students Deserve Praise
There are many people and things on
this campus that have been praised; most
of them have even been ridiculed and cus­sed
several times before anybody got
around to give them a little bit of credit
or acknowledgement of their work.
One such group of students on our own
campus as well as several others, are those
who work their way through four or five
years of college to get an education.
Working your way through college is
easier said than done as those who have
attempted it will readily affirm. In the
first place jobs are not as easy to get as
they may seem 6n the surface.
Another thing to think about when con­sidering
working one's way through school,
is that matter of studying and preparing
lessons and assignments. It is practically
The End of the ODK-Blue Key Arguments
For several years, in fact since the re­appearance
of Blue Key on this campus,
after a period of non-existence, Omicron
Delta Kappa and Blue Key have been, in
a sense, bitter rivals.
This year's membership of both .organi­zations,
feeling that this spirit of rivalry
was out of place, determined to eradicate
it.
They deserve credit for their efforts
along this line.
Inspired by the interest of several mem­bers
of the faculty, and particularly Col.
John J. Waterman and Dr. Charles Davis,
the two organizations met jointly to dis­cuss
plans for cooperation in the selection
of their 1942-43 chapters.
They agreed to prepare separate lists of
the men to be tapped, and through a joint
committee of both groups, to check these
lists for any duplications. They agreed that
the tappings would occur at the same time,
and that any men who might be offered
bids by both organizations would be al­lowed
to choose their preference, without
any personal contact by the members of
either group.
Members of both groups agreed not to
talk to any of these men before the tap­pings
occurred, leaving their decisions en­tirely
to them.
Blue Key, having long refused to allow
any of its members to accept a bid to any
other "similar" honor organization, an^
nounced that beginning with this year's
list of new men, any member of Blue Key
tapped for Spades, first all-campus honor
society on the campus, could be a member
of that society.
The two organizations, Blue Key and
ODK, agreed that they would not, as or­ganizations,
interfere in any way with jun­ior
class politics, promising not to "sup­port"
or "denounce" in anyway, any can­didate
for a senior office.
In years past, before the Blue Key rul-ling
which prevented members of that or­ganization
from accepting membership in
any other organization of a similar nature,
students could be members of-both ODK
and Blue Key, and also of Spades.
Now it appears that the old rivalry be­tween
the two groups will cease, as it
should have long ago. There is no excuse
for such feeling between two honor societ­ies
on this campus.

impossible to go to school seven or eight
hours and work just about as.many and
then try to study three or four hours after
you are through with work.
After thinking about these and several
other J.'musts" for a student working his
way through school, we believe that they
must all deserve credit and commendation
for the way they come to school and get
their education. We have known several
students that worked their way through
school and were still able to maintain a
scholastic average beyond reproach and at
the same time have several extra-curricula
activities that gave them prominence on.

Our hand goes to these students who are
able to stick it out when the going gets

Aristotle and Xerxes
Recently, having nothing particularly interesting or of enough
length to fill this column, we proceeded to let loose a little of our
built-up-in-three-and-one-half-years distrust of the possibility of
success for purely political politicians on this campus, and our sin­cere
conviction that work on one particular job (such as a student pub­lication)
brings more tangible results in the long run, and write a
purely fictional story about two purely fictional characters.
One of these characters, Aristotle Jones or Xerxes Smith, it doesn't
matter which, was the typical back-slapping politician for three years
—and met with failure and obscurity. The other, whichever he was,
worked diligently on the Glomerata for three years, and received his
reward as its editor in his fourth year.
We hadn't suppose that this would cause any comment—we hadn't
even supposed anyone would read it. Someone evidently did. Several
someones. One of our own fraternity brothers practically accused us
of stepping on his toes in our characterization of the back-slapping
politico. Other readers wanted to know just who these gentlemen
were. Others spent hours searching student directories for their names,
and finally decided, that they must be co-ops, unlisted.
And So, A Resolution
Maybe those are exagerations. At any rate, we determined that
never ag_a"in should we write a purely fictitious column, be it allegori-calor
-qtherwlse, no matter what end we hope to-'accomplish in it,
without first stating that it is purely fictitious. So here:
"All persons mentioned in the following product of typewriter
and mind are purely, entirely, .and absolutely fictitious. Any re­semblance
to any persons living or dead (or Zombies) is purely co­incidental
. . . So help us God."

together. They were the closest personal friends. They took the same
courses, and made practically the same scholastic averages, and the
same extracurricular honors. Not that they handed each other crib
notes on exams, or copied the same "last year's tests"—they were justi
two-of-a-kind.
They progressed that way, all through their secondary education,
and graduated from high school as co-valedictorians of their class.
A Difference of Opinion
They hadn't always looked at things the same way, however. Dur­ing
their senior year in High School, the little yellow bellies attacked
Pearl Harbor, and Wake Island, and all those other places to the East,
end Harry and Archie were quite upset, in their minds.
Harry thought it was a dirty crime, and Archie thought it was a
dirty crime. Harry wanted to do something about it, as soon as possible.
Archie wanted to do something about it too, but he didn't want to rush
into things.
Harry wanted to enlist in the army, right away, but Archie talked
him out of that.
"Let's go to college first," he said. "They'll call us when they need
us, and in the meantime we can take advantage of our opportunity
of learning everything we can."
So Harry, being easily convinced, agreed that they should go to
college first.
Then Archie announced that he was going to college in June.
"What the Hell?" asked Harry. "You say you don't want to rush
into things, yet you're going to waste a perfectly good summer vaca­tion
by going to college in June?"
"It won't be wasted," said Archie, and refused to talk about the
subject anymore.
And These Two Boys to College Went
So Archie made plans to enter college in June, while Harry, de­termined
not to miss his annual three months of vacation, planned to
enter college in September.
Came graduation, and a few days later Archie left for Auburn.
He registered with the Freshman Class, received his ROTC uniform,
and all the other things a freshman receives.
Three months later, Harry came to college. "I've had a wonderful
rest," he said to Archje. "You're crazy for wasting that vacation."
"Maybe so," said Archie, and wouldn't talk about the subject
anymore.
In two more quarters, Archie was a full-fledged sophomore, while
Harry was still a freshman. Archie didn't take a vacation that sum­mer
either. He went right on to school. He'd been here six quarters—
just a year-and-a-half out of high school, when he was accepted for
Advanced ROTC.
Two months later, after Harry had enjoyed another three months
of vacation, they both had a birthday. Both were twenty years old.
Harry had to register for the draft. Archie didn't—he was in Advanced
Military.
Came the lottery—and with it Harry's dra"ft number. Within
another month he was inducted, as a private, in the infantry. And
just three years after he'd finished high school, just a year after
Harry became a private, Archie received his commission, as a Second
Lieutenant, in the Field Artillery.
You figure it out. And tell your home town Harrys and Archies
about it. ,..-'_

Just to kick this thing about
an Auburn man being there when
it happens a little, have you
heard about Lt. Hoyt Jolly? If
you haven't, you don't read the
papers or listen to the radio, be­cause
he's the lad who led that
South Pacific bombing raid which
destroyed a bunch of Jap planes,
the damage to which was conserv­atively
estimated at a cool five
million bucks.
They also messed up hangars,
runways, and docks, quite con­siderable.
* * * .
Hoyt is a native Auburnite, and
is the son of Mrs. R. H. Jolly, who,-
among other things, manages
the Student Center.

The lads did the work in about
five seconds, and flew so low
they were struck by bursts from
their own shrapnel.

"I am very enthusiastic about
army camp life. We lie around
in bed every morning 'til five
o'clock. This, of course, gives us
plenty of time to wash, shave,
dress, make our bunks, etc., by
5:10.
At 5:15 we stand outside and
shiver while somebody blows a
horn. After we are reasonably
chilled, we grope' our way through
the darkness to the mess hall.
Here we have plenty to eat, con­sisting
of some unidentified li­quid
and a choice of white or
rye crust.
After gorging ourselves, we
wabble our way back to the bar­racks.
We then have nothing to
do until 7:30, so we just sit around
and scrub bathrooms, mop floors,
wash windows and pick up all
cigarette butts and match stems
within a 150 ft. radius of the
barracks.
Soon the Sergeant comes in and
says, "Come on out and play in
the sunshine, boys." So we go
out to bask in the sunshine. Of
course we have to stand in six
inches of mud, but what's a little
mud. To limber up we do a few
simple exercises such as touch­ing
our toes with our hands with
both feet in the air. And then
there is one where we grasp our­selves
by our hair and hold our­selves
out at arm's length.
At 8:00 we put on light packs
and go off for a romp in the
mountains. The light pack is not
to be confused with the heavy
pack, however. The light pack
consists only of a gun, bayonet, .
gasmask, canteen, mess kit, coat,
cartridge belt, first aid belt, pup
tent, stakes, tent poles and a few
other incidentals. The heavy pack
has a few blankets in it. With my
pack on, I weigh 250 lbs. My nor­mal
weight is 140 lbs.
A truck and trailer follows our
romping and picks up the boys
who faint. The boys who fall out
are treated very well. They are
given six months in the guard­house
but do not have to face a
court martial. At 2:00 those who
are still able to limp, can go to
the infirmary. At the infirmary
we are divided into two classes:
(1) those who have athletes foot
and (2) those who have a cold.
If you have athletes foot they
swab your throat with iodine, but
if you have a cold they swab your
feet with iodine. If you have nei­ther
you get the guardhouse for
impersonating an officer.
I am very popular at the in­firmary.
I told them-1 had both
a cold and athlete's foot when I
really have gastric ulcers, but I
know when to keep my mouth
shut. Well, that's all I have to
write tonight as I have to hurry
to the mess hall. We're having
grits for supper. Oh boy ! ! !
* * «
Karrie, the Kampus Kolumnist,
reminds those who are fretting
because their draft number has
not come up that "Everything is
all right. Remember, they also
serve who only stand and wait."
But you can't draw that 21 si-moleons
for that!

The long awaited and eagerly
anticipated European spring of­fensive
has begun. But contrary
to popular speculations, Hitler
did not strike at Russia. He be­gan
the first chapter of his new
offensive by replacing Marshal
Petain, Britain's friend, by Pierre
Laval. Laval is known for his
beliefs that the welfare of France
rests in close cooperation with
the Axis powers.
Pierre Laval is Hitler's stooge.
Laval has been put into power
so that Germany- can have com­plete
access to France's power of
production, and so that Germany
can direct France's every move.
Eighty-six year old Marshall
Petain was a friend of Britain,
and he is admired because he
did not believe in close collabo­ration
with Hitler. Petain was
forced out of office by Hitler.
Hitler promised to starve France
and cause a civil war—the like of
which the world has never seen.
Petain, old and weary, but still
fighting for France, had no al­ternative.
He loved his country
too much to see it plunged into
a civil war, because he knew
what the results would be.
Hitler has struck at France be­cause
he cannot afford to have
a second front opened up at this
time. Hitler can now force the
Frenchmen to join the Axis in
their fight against the English.
Frenchmen will be stationed at
those points where it is believed
an invasion may begin, and these
Frenchmen will be compelled to
resist all attempts by the Eng­lish
to land an expeditionary
force.
Many people are asking what
part the French fleet will play
in this new set up. No move will
be made until Laval gives the
signal. Then it is up to the in­dividual
crews of each ship to
decide if they want to return to
France and fight the British, or
stay away from their home ports
and continue to prey upon Axis
shipping. No one knows the exact
answer, but there has been a lot
of speculation by the so called
experts that the French fleet
experts that the French ileet
There will undoubtedly be a
break in diplomatic relations be­tween
Pro-Axis Vichy and the
United States. Informed sources
believe that it will only be a mat-'
ter of time before U. S. Ambas­sador
William D. Leahy will be
recalled. Vichy has turned a cold
shoulder to the United States by
rejecting our explanation of last
Tuesday night for sending a con-
-•sul general to Brazzaville, accred­ited
to the free French in control
of French Equitorial Africa.
Hitler's plans call for an all out
war between the United States,
England, and France. When Brit­ain
attempts an invasion of the
coast, the new France will un­doubtedly
try to stop it. This
will result in war between France
and Britain and we shall im­mediately
join our. ally Britain.
Hitler feels that this wili avert
our attention from the Russian
front and allow him ample time
to successfully terminate his cam­paign
there.
Fighting on the Russian front
has slowed down considerably.
The Russians still claim high tolls
of German captives and supplies '
but both sides have been prim­arily
occupied Sn bringing up
new supplies for an all out of­fensive.
The outcome of this eag­erly
awaited offensive will have
much to do with the future war
policies of the United Nations.
If Hitler is successful against the
Russians it will mean that we
must immediately begin an in­vasion
of the coast—without
Waiting for Hitler to reprepare
himself for the next move of the
war. If Hitler is not successful in
his campaign against the Russians
it will mean that we must con­tinue
to keep the Russians well
supplied so that they can. con­tinue
to push the Germans back
in a fashion that may eventually
spell victory for the United
Nations.

Team Reports May 30
Auburn Loses Second Lerrerman Since
Close of '41 Season; Follows Schuler
By JOHN PIERCE
Vick Costellos, Captain-elect of the 1942 Auburn football
team, has been called by his draft board and is to report to
the army in the latter part of May.
He was to have been drafted this month but was given a
deferment in order to finish his college examinations. It js
expected that he will take his final physical examination on
May 30 and will be inducted after that.
Loss of Costellos will come as a stunning blow to the 1942
squad. Elected to the Captaincy
at the football baquet in Birm­ingham
on December 18, he had
been looked upon as an integral
factor in the success of the com­ing
season. A guard and letter-man,
he has continually made up
for his weight of 165 pounds by
an aggressiveness which has been
unequaled.
Costellos' home is in Birming­ham.
He attended Ramsay High
School and was chosen on the
All-State football team in 1937.
His is the second serious loss
since the 1941 season. Bill Schu­ler,
sophomore tackle, left school
in January to join the Army Air
Corps, as a cadet.
Only chance of Costellos' re­turning
to school lay in the phy­sical
examination which he must
take before entering the army. "I
flunked the last army physical
I took," he said this morning,
"but they tell me they're taking
everybody now."

Coach Jordan Working Twenty-
Seven Frosh Baseball Hopefuls
Coach Ralph Jordan has had his
freshman baseball hopefuls hard
at work since last Monday and
the twenty-seven prospects give
him a wide range for his choice
of a starting nine. The date for
the first game has, as yet, not
been set.
The pitching department seems
to be the weak spot right now
but it is likely that this position
will be strengthened a little be­fore
the initial contest. Last years
squad was stronger in the mound
department than in any other
with such flingers as Ed Oates,
George Weaver, Red Langford,
and Buddy Cookson on the
roster.
