Engineers Get
Demonstrations
At Ft. Benning
A contingent composed of the
59 junior and senior Engineers
of the 6th Company, ASTP, left
Auburn by truck convoy Wed­nesday
morning for Fort Ben­ning,
where they took active
part during the day in a special
booby trap and land mine prob­lem
designed by the Corps of
Engineers for instructional pur­poses.
This group, under the com­mand
of Captain Roderick J.
Matthews, made a similar trip to
Fort Benning two weeks ago, be­ing
accompanied by the junior
and senior F. A., students.
At that time a special demon­stration,
"The Battalion in At­tack,"
was witnessed by mem­bers
of the API party, who were
impressed with the brilliant and
well-directed display of coordi­nated
ground and air attack car­ried
out by infantry arms with
support from other associated
branches of the service. It was
an effective and realistic per­formance—
one which left an in­delible
mark upon the minds of
many Auburn men.
The members of the 6th Com­pany
included in this week's
Fort Benning trip were Paul G.
Barksdale, Arthur C. Burge, Rob­ert
E. Clotfelter, Hughes R. Dar-den,

Over The Top
On Blood Drive
Despite llliness
Forty-Nine Silver
Button Donors Come
In First Two Days
"It looks like we're going over
the top," Chairman Bob Smith
said when questioned this morn­ing
about the success of Auburn's
third blood-plasma drive.
"We had 20 silver button don­ors
(those giving blood for the
third time) the first day," he
continued, "and 29 the second
day."
A final count at noon today
revealed that 520 pints of
blood have been donated in the
three-day period, 40 pints over
the quota. Approximately 75
silver buttons were awarded.
PROMOTE BLOOD DONOR DRIVE
An estimated 25 to 30 percent
of the number of donors offering
blood were rejected in the first
day of the 3-day blood-plasma
drive in operation this week.
Colds and fever, the chief cause
of rejections, were so prevalent
that it was necessary to send out
an SOS for more donors. The
appeal was promptly met by the
ASTP, according to Chairman
Robert Smith. Even so, only 146
pints were donated Wednesday,
14 pints short of expectations.
"We are not trying to break
our past record which was tops
for the nation," Mr. Smith de­clared,
"but we want to reach
our goal of 480 pints between
now and Friday afternoon, and
that is the minimum."
PITTS WINS
JAYCEE AWARD
FOR SERVICE
Robert G. Pitts, head professor
of aeronautical engineering at
the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
and coordinator of the col­lege's
CAA War Training Serv­ice
program for naval aviation
cadets, was presented with the
Junior Chamber of Commerce's
annual "Award for Distinguished
Service" at a banquet Friday
night at the Thomas Hotel. The
award is made each year to the
man under 35.years of age in the
town of Auburn who, in the judg­ment
of the chamber's board of
selection, has. contributed most
to the upbuilding and betterment
of the community.
In the citation accompanying
the award, Prof. Pitts was lauded
as the man through whose efforts
the CPT program was carried to
such a high standard of excell­ence
that Auburn was chosen as
a navy training center.
Other achievements of Prof.
Pitts noted in the citation were
the promotion and expansion of
the Auburn-Opelika a i r p o r t,
owned by the college; obtaining
the approval of Auburn as the
site of an elementary and secon-day
ground school, an elemen­tary
flight school, and an offi­cial
airplane repair station; his
appointment by CAA as airplane
inspection representative for this
area; and his successful efforts
in the establishment of the Au­burn-
Opelika Aero Club, which
is a chapter of the National
Aeronautics Association.
Shown signing blood donor Tom Simms, are Kay Hall and Mar­garet
Toomer who have, according to Bob Smith, "—done an out­standing
piece of work in sponsoring the solicitation of blood don­ers
on our campus and are to be commended for their untiring
efforts in the face of extreme difficulties." Miss Hall, supported
by Chi Omega sorority, was in charge of the student drive, while
Miss Toomer served as chairman for the city drive.
TAINT SAFE TO THINK
AROUND THIS PLACE
Dunninger, Famed
Master Mind Reader
To Come In February
Keep your minds clear; you
can't keep a secret from Joseph
Dunninger. Others have tried and
been unsuccessful. The Master
Mind Reader, who will present
an amazing series of experiments
in telepathy at Alumni Gymnasi­um
on Feb. 12 at 8:15, has suc­cessfully
beaten ah attempt to
hide things from him in the 65-
story RCA Building in New York
City.
Before one of his recent Blue
Network programs, three persons
unknown to Dunninger hid en­velopes
containing currency in
the thousands of offices in the
building where they believed the
"hidden treasure" would not be
known to anyone other than
themselves.
During the radio program Dun­ninger
read their minds and sent
other individuals, also previously
unknown to him, to the places
where he determined the treasure
to be hidden. Not only was the
"Mind Reader" successful in hav­ing
these messengers find the en­velopes
in the maze of offices ex­actly
where he said they would
be found, but on their return to
the radio studios with the treas­ure,
Dunninger accurately de­scribed
the contents of each en­velope
before it. was opened.
Telepathist D u n n i n g e r is
unique. His feats are many and
varied, with one thing in com­mon—
they all cause spectators
to wonder. There are several vol­umes
of voluntary testimony in
newspaper clippings to prove
that they are as honest as they
are unbelievable.
ODK INITIATES,

KIWANIS CLUB
SEEKS REMEDY
FOR RR PROBLEM
Because of two recent cross­ing
accidents in Auburn which
took the life of one man and se­verely
injured three API stu­dents,
the Kiwanis Club, at the
behest of its president, W. D.
Salmon, animal nutritionist for
the School of Agriculture and
the Experiment Station, has em­powered
a committee to thor­oughly
investigate the situation
and recommend seps for protec-ing
Auburn residents and those
persons passing through the town
from the danger of such accidents
in the future.
A fund for the building of un­derpasses
at the two principal
crossings was once established,
it was explained to the club by
Dr. L. N. Duncan, president of
API, and might be available for
such a purpose whenever the ne­cessary
materials c o u l d be
bought.
In the meantime, the Kiwanis
committee, headed"by J. A. Beaty,
assistant extension ' economist at
Auburn, is seeking a means of
constructing automatic gates or
arm guards, with the coopera­tion
of the Western of Alabama
railroad.
A truck driver was killed
when a troop train struck the
cab of his trailer-truck Dec. 17.
Three students in a "U-Drive-It"
car were struck by a freight
train Jan. 9 and two are still in
hospitals.
blouse will be made to these hon­or
students, who are to be select­ed
at the end of each term on
the basis of reports from faculty
members responsible for instruc­tion
of the soldier-students.

Football Prospects
Brighten; Tentative
Schedule Is Begun
Hopes for a 1944 football
team on this campus were giv­en
another b o o s t Tuesday
when Coach Wilbur Hutsell
announced that he had been
directed by President L. N.
Duncan to begin work on a ten­tative
football schedule.
Coach Hutsell revealed fur­ther
that negotiations were un­derway
for games with Geor­gia,
Georgia Tech, Tulane, and
Mississippi Slate, on the con­dition
that API will field a
team next fall. Additional
games will be announced later,
Hutsell said. "No definite de­cision
has been reached," Coach
Hutsell emphasized, "but we
can't afford to wail any longer
on a schedule."
Lack of both football ma­terial
and a coaching staff
caused API to discontinue foot­ball
last year when Head Coach
Jack Meagher left to become a
lientenant commander in the
Navy.

We Have All The Answers
All those newly purchased paper dollies
are fated for the scrap pile now that the
Auburn scrap paper drive is going into ac­tion.
Mr. Glenn Scott, chairman of the
committee in charge of collecting paper in
this vicinity, has announced that another
scrap paper drive is to be February 5. So
far, only magazines, newspapers and oth­er
"flat paper" can be used, Mr. Scott said,
because of the present lack of bailing ap­paratus,
and the paper must be packed
comactly in order to get the required fif­teen
tons in the freight car going to Mo­bile.
We're anticipating many remarks from
the students like these: "What's the big
idea this time?"; "Good night, I don't have
enough magazines and newspapers to fool
with"; "What'll we do with the paper if
we do save it?" So here are our answers.
That there is an acute paper shortage
most of us know. If you don't know it just
go down town and try to buy stationery or
Kleenex. Which answers "why save it?".
And we'll bet that there's not a room
in town that doesn't have at least one old
magazine in it.
There's one more question. "What to do
with the paper?" And we've got the an­swer
to that one too. Bring it to The
Plainsman office if you don't know where
else to take it. We'll see that it gets to
that freight car.
May It Never Die
Through the years the fame of the
friendly "Spirit of Auburn" has spread
throughout the South and in many parts
of the nation. This fame is now spreading
in every part of the country through the
lips and letters of the servicemen train­ing
at our Alma Mater.
Daily such remarks as "It's swell to have
everyone say 'Hello' to you," and, "This
'Good Morning' stuff really gets me," are
being exchanged between servicmen as
they experience, many for the first time,
the friendliness conveyed by our Auburn
Spirit. This "gets me" is in itself a com­pliment
no poet or writer could phrase in
a better way for it is a simple statement
from the heart, rather than the lips, of
lonely servicemen who find in the words,
"Good Morning," "Good Evening," or just
plain, "Hiyah," a statement of appreciation
from their hosts for their sacrificing the
pleasures of home to serve their country.
The old Southern custom of greeting
one another when passing, whether ac­quainted
or not, is instilling itself in our.
vistors and more and more they are be­coming
the first to exchange the greet­ing.
It is little trouble, if any, to smile
and bid the time of day as you meet, but
a word as small as "Hello" does a great
job of proporting good will among people.
Had a spirit of friendliness such as this
prevailed among nations, much of the con­flict
and strife that is today plaguing the
world might have been averted.
Be proud of the work you have already
done and resolve that the Auburn Spirit
shall never die. Remember that - your
"Good Morning" or "Good Evening" make
you more of a credit to old Auburn than
all the "A"s that you can have gracing your
record.
Dimes Spell Victory
With the daily reports of the achieve­ment
of our troops on the fighting fronts
ever presenting to us the need of our
wholehearted support of the war effort,
we are very likely to overlook the unre­lenting
battle which our scientists are
daily waging against the unseen enemy,
polio.
Under the strained conditions of buying
all the war bonds we can and higher taxes
many may feel as if we do not have time
for this annual appeal now. But this is not
a question of having time—it is the ques­tion
of the health of Americans.
Our Readers Speak
Ft. Schuyler
New York, N. Y.
Jan. 16, 1944
Dear Editor, Today I was walking down
42nd Street here and I met a young sol­dier
about 19 or 20 years old. At first
glance he would have appeared to be just
one more of the thousands of soldiers here
in New York. But a closer examination
would have revealed the left sleeve of his
blouse tucked in the pocket to conceal
the fact, as much as possible, that he had
no left arm.
When I took that second glance I real­ized
how absurd the situation was. The
soldier saluted me when he was infinitely
more deserving of a salute from me than
I was of one from him.
We, those of us in the armed forces who
have not seen actual war and those at
home as civilians, buy our War Bonds and
Stamps once in a while to the extent that
is convenient and think that we have done
our part. This soldier couldn't decide whe­ther
he could afford to give his arm or
not—he didn't have the chance!
This soldier didn't have the chance to
tell his superiors that he didn't have the
time to fight a battle that day because he
had fought one the night before. He
couldn't step aside and say that it was
time for someone else to shoulder the bur­den.
' I wonder how this soldier feels when he
reads about the folks going on strike here
because they are not getting enough pay?
No one ever gave him the opportunity to
strike because his $54 a month wasn't
enough to pay for a 24-hour day for a
seven-day week.
I think that more of the folks here at
home should have the chance to see one
of these wounded soldiers and realize that
he is somebody's son, somebody's brother,
somebody's sweetheart. Then, perhaps,
they would realize that nothing they could
do could ever even begin to repay this
soldier for the loss of his arm or some
other one for the loss of an arm or an eye
or a leg.
I realize that my days of writing for The
Plainsman were supposed to have ended
last November but this little incident
struck me so forcefully I couldn't resist
the temptation to write about it. Maybe
you can use it.
Sincerely
C. W. Hcfrton

Editor's note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of t h e writer and
are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper.
This lovely touch of spring gives rise to all those lazy feel­ings
that become so apparent a little later on in the year.
As far as we know the groundhog has not yet appeared to
look for his shadow, but from the looks of things we won't
need him this year to tell us it will probably be a fine, early
spring.

Observations at the Beauty Ball last week: There were
about as many lovelies in the audience as there were on the
stage. It is a pity that the Glomerata doesn't have room for
hundreds of beauties.
The majority of the girls in the parade could definitely use
a course in walking. It wasn't that they didn't get where they
were going. They just got there too fast.
It is surprising^how few women, as well as men know how
to walk properly. The girls do all sorts of contortions as they
move along. Some try to throw their hips out of joint, others
their shoulders. A great number fail to stand erect; they al­low
their shoulders to get ahead of the rest of the body. Some
wag their heads from side to side and back and fourth just
like our web-footed friend, the duck.
What would really be useful around here for the girls
would be to have a part of their physical education program
devoted to the art of posture and carriage, by someone who
knows the subject.
There were a number of girls in the parade who were po­tential
model material. One or two were definitely "cover
girls." We wonder why Auburn can't have some of the pro­fessional
model agencies send men to be the judges for these
contests. Other schools get men like Harry Connover, John
Powers, Earl Carroll, who runs a stage show rather than a
model agency, and others. These men are always on the search
for new talent, and no doubt, deep in the heart of many of
the girls in the show last week lies the desire to be a model or
an actress.

The 313th Air Force Band from Tuskegee certainly added
to the festivities in Auburn last week end. At the Beauty Pa­rade
they kept the audience in a constant state of "swing ec­stasy."
Then at the Military Ball Saturday they really "sent" the
dancers. They used all styles of music and were equally good
in all of them. The "Wings of Rhythm" were a real asset to
the week end of activities on the campus.

The small crowd which saw Mickey MacDougall perform
in the gym last Friday night were treated to some very smooth
handling of cards. The pasteboards went in and out so fast that
it was incredible. Even when done in slow motion it was re­markably
fast.
No doubt in many of the various rooming houses in Auburn
as the boys sit around the table having their little "game," each
one is watching the dealer more closely, just wondering if
something is being put over.
* » *
During Mr. MacDougall's lecture a remark made by him
was worthy of note. In referring to the people in the balcony
he asked, "Can you see all right on the shelf?"
We can't help but believe that most of the students who
attend the concert series feel badly because the artists have
to appar in such a makeshift place. JThe acoustics is bad, the
line of vision is bad, in fact, nothing is good about having pro­grams
in the gymnasium.
The school should be able to do something about this situa­tion
after the war. For the duration, new construction is not
allowed, but materials for repairs are allowed. Why not have
Langdon fixed up into at least a presentable place so that visit­ing
guests wouldn't feel as though they had stopped off at
some "little cow college"?

ROTC Absence From Class
Or Drill
ROTC attendance at class and
drill is required by federal stat­ute.
ROTC students are cautioned
that 5 unexcused absences from
either class or drill or both, is
considered evidence that the man
is not complying with the law re­quiring
attendance and subjects
the man to suspension from col­lege.

A hard boiled Sergeant at Fort
Dix was having trouble putting
his rookies through their paces.
"When I was a little boy," said
the Sarge sweetly, "my mother
told me not to cry when I lost
my wooden soldiers. 'Some day,'
she said, 'You'll get those wooden
soldiers back'." Then with a full
parade ground roar, he bellowed:
"And believe me, you wooden-headed
scarecrows, that day has
come."

A wealthy Baltimore dowager
was driving home from her first-aid
course in her shiny Cadillac
when she spied a man lying flat
on his face in the middle of the
street. "Stop the car, Charles,"
she cried to her chauffeur. "Here
is my chance to practice what I
learned in class today."
She piled out of the car, land­ed
her full 180 pounds astride
the prone figure and began
pumping the man's arms violent­ly
up and down. The surprised
victim finally managed to find
his voice. "For the luvva Mike,
Lady," he entreated, "leave me
be, willya?" "I don't know what
you're doing but I'm trying to
locate a leak in this sewer."

It's quite interesting to note
that this year the junior vets in­stead
of the seniors will be out
carrying on for the established
veterinarians so that they may
attend the short course on Feb­ruary
8-10. Could the reason be
to show juniors just how little
they know or is it that the sen­iors
may benefit from the Short
Course? It's the talk of Vet Hill
right now.

In the 5th Company it is ab­solutely
imperative that each
man eats on his designated chow,
either on the first or second
chow. This is to keep down con-jestion
and so that every man has
a place to eat. A few days ago,
one Pfc. slipped up and ate on
first when he was supposed to be
on second. The Pfc. was lavishly
ingesting his food when a Ser­geant
stopped behind him.
"Who in the Hell are you eat­ing
for," said the Sergeant.
The Pfc, never looking up, in
a few seconds replied, "Yehootie."
The Sergeant, "Oh! That's al­right
if you are eating for some­one."

December 6:
Recently, I have met some very
nice people who live in the area
near our camp. There are four
of them, and the wives of three
of them. One is a schoolmaster
(pronounced MAHster), another
an artist, one is a test pilot for
a certain British bomber, and
the other, an executive.
The wife of the artist, a Mrs.
Allison, has invited me over to
Christmas dinner. I have visited
also in the home of Jack Molden,
the schoolmaster. He is the Ron-old
Coleman type of Englishman
—dignified in an easy way. They
are all rather well-to-do and very
well-educated people, and I cer­tainly
enjoy sitting around with
the men, in the local pub, or in
their homes, talking of any- and
everything.
Mr. Stiles, the power company
executive, has traveled in the
States, so my evenings in his
very modern home have been
quite entertaining.
* * *
December 15:
I have been saving my candy
ration from the PX to give to
the children of the Allison, Mold-en,
and Stiles families. I'm giv­ing
the men some cigars I have
saved. Cigars and cigarets are
available for civilians, but cigars
are so expensive that it is pro­hibitive
for civilians to buy them.
December 19:
It was quite a job to divide the
little candy I had among the 9
children to be considered. But I
finally 'made a fairly equitable
distribution, and I wrapped the
packages last night. The box of
cigars Dad sent came in handy—
they helped out my measly few,
for the men. It is so little to give,
for what they have done for me.
But then, you should have
heard the scream of delight from
seven year old Jimmy Mackensie
the other day when I gave him
By ANNE DONALDSON
two pieces of chewing gum I just
happened to have in my pocket!
* * *
December 27:
Christmas has come and gone;
I must say it didn't seem much
like it until the afternoon of the
Big Day.
I got off from work at noon
and immediately started for the
Allinson's. I had walked about a
mile or so, when it suddenly
dawned on me that the presents
I had, for the family, were still
under my bed, back at the tent.
All the walking really worked
up an appetite.
Besides the candy and cigars,
I had, for Mrs. Allison^ some
beauty soap, which an old girl
friend, back in Gadsden, had no
business sending me.
They had a huge turkey (Lord
knows where they got it), and it
was as tasty as I have ever eat­en.
We had a plum pudding, over
which they poured brandy, which
is supposed to blaze up, when
lit; but we couldn't get it to do
so. In my portion, I found a six­pence
piece—it is customary to
put two or three in, before bak­ing—
but I couldn't find out just
what the significance of this was.
Anyway, that is a memento to
save.
I had to leave the Allinsons at
four and go to the Stile's where
I was invited to tea. Their three
girls, Ursula, Ingrid, and Diana
were about to tear down the
house. Ursula ( who is about 7)
pulled me upstairs to see the
tree and the presents which were
left by "Father Christmas"—not
Santa Claus.
At tea, we had fruitcake—
pretty much like Mother's, but
darker, and it had a white icing.
This was the first time I had
ever seen fruitcake iced, but it
wasn't half bad.
The Stiles wera quite amazed
that they couldn't keep the chil­dren
from crawling all over me.
It was only the second time I
had seen them—usually they had
already been put to bed—and
they are" not often friendly to
strangers. But we had a swell
time of it.
Before I left there to go back
to the Allinsons for supper (they
insisted that I return), Ursula
told me that we are going to get
married, next Christmas, and live
in her doll house.

close play, as all of the
winners came through with .top-heavy
scores over their oppon­ents.
OTS-ATO
OTS rolled over the ATO by a
score of 35-5 to chalk up its sec­ond
win of the season against no
defeats. The OTS held a 23-1
lead at the midway mark, and
then boosted their winning mar­gin
to 30 points at the end^
Bill Peace hit seven field goals
and a free shot for OTS to take
high scoring honors with 15
points. Bentley and Hobbs ac­counted
for all of ATO's points.
Sigma Chi-PiKA
Sigma Chi's victory over the
PiKAs gave them a record of
three victories in two weeks.
Widening a three-point first
period lead to 13, making it 18-5
at halftime, the Sigma Chis piled
on 20 more points in the last
two quarters to score 38-13.
John Harvey Thomas of Sig­ma
Chi was high scorer with 15
points, and Bobby Barefield, also
of the Sigma Chi, was close be­hind
with 13. Mullins led- the
PiKAs in scoring.
SPE-PKT
SPE handed Pi Kappa Tau a
27-4 trouncing in winning their
first start of the season. The
SPEs blanked the PKTs in the
first quarter, and led 17-4 at the
half. The Pi Kappa Taus made all
their points in the second quarter,
while the SPEs increased their
lead in the last half to 27-4.
Champion, with 9 points, and
Gatewood, with 8, led the SPE of­fense;
McMichael and Tudeen
sunk a field goal apiece for
PiKT's points.
Kappa Sig-ALT
Kappa Sigma turned back the
ALTs by a score of 25-11 for their
second win of the year. The Kap­pa
Sigs were ahead at the end
of a comparatively low-scoring
first half 12-5. In the second half,
the game continued at the same
tempo, ending Kappa Sigs 25,
ALT 11.
Ingram and King, both Kappa
Sigs, made six points each, which

LHIS is what we've been working for
all along. This is the year to hit and
hurt the enemy. This is the time when
everything you do counts double. If we
all get together and do all we can,
we'll be over this hurdle and well on our
way to complete and crushing victory.
No question about the men
in uniform — they'll go "all
out." But can we count on you
to back them all the way?
Your quota is where you work
—you've got to buy your War
Bonds and then buy more,
until every last loose cent
you have is fighting. Tough? Of course,
it's tough—unless it is a sacrifice you're
simply not doing your share!
Make the sacrifice now—buy more
than the extra $100 Bond your country
counts on you for—winning the war is
worth any sacrifice you make. Besides,
y o u aren't giving, you're
lending to America I You'll get
back every dollar you invest
in War Bonds, with interest.
An extra $100 War Bond
now is the minimum for
everybody — can't we count
on you for more?
