The  Eagle  has  passed  through  a  revolutionary  year 
.  .  .  Ye  Bird  was  supervised  by  co-editors — two  soph- 
omores .  .  .  Perhaps  because  of  these  facts  Eagle 
make-up  has  gone  through  many  changes — it  has 
as  many  faces  as  a  woman  .  .  .  more  pictures  this 
year  too,  and  more  columns  .  .  .  Tidbits,  of  course, 
and  Schostal's  "You  .  .  .  and  the  War,"  Aiken's 
"Know  Your  Faculty,"  Crouter's  "Campus  Com- 
ment," Hulfish's  "Plagiarisms"  .  .  .  Oh,  yes,  and 
D.  Wentz's  old  splurge  "Guilt  off  the  Dome"  was 
revived  by  ex-editor  Mattes  .  .  .  this  fair  journalist 
deserves  a  credit  line  for  her  Aramantha  stories — 
nice  satire  directed  where  it  was  most  needed.  .  .  . 
But  no  sooner  had  Ye  Bird  tried  its  rusty  wings 
than  Texas  Ginsberg  resigned  as  advertising  man- 
ager ...  a  real  crisis  .  .  .  October  20,  1942,  co-editor 
Bosien  proposed  in  an  editorial  Rhodes  scholarships 
for  The  American  University  for  the  benefit  of  for- 
eign students.  .  .  .  Since  the  Eagle  belongs  to  the 
national   Associated  Collegiate   Press  the  idea  spread 


.  .  .  Northwestern,  Brown,  et  al,  provided  scholar- 
ships for  Icelandic  students.  .  .  .  Comes  November 
and  the  eighteenth  birthday  of  this  holy  sheet  .  .  . 
also  the  twenty-first  annual  press  convention  of  the 
Associated  Collegiate  Press  at  Chicago.  .  .  .  Six 
A.  U.ites,  staff  members  and  non-staffers,  absconded 
in  the  dead  of  the  night  for  the  meet.  .  .  .  February 
brings  the  celebration  of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of 
The  American  University  ...  a  jubilee  Bird  was 
published — eight  pages,  twenty-two  pictures  .  .  . 
twenty-nine  students  and  faculty  members,  who  re- 
ceived no  credits,  wrote  it.  .  .  .  Comes  March  and 
Co-editor  Sandler  leaves  for  Uncle  Sam's  service  .  .  . 
Bosien  is  now  chief  of  all  he  surveys.  .  .  .  He  initiates 
a  system  of  issue  editors  .  .  .  Hulfish,  Jaworowski, 
Manchester  taking  turns.  .  .  .  Speaking  of  good 
deeds,  we  must  mention  Sulzer — especially  the  Friday 
she  worked  from  two  to  ten-thirty  writing  the  fifteen 
stories  the  reporters  just  didn't  get  in.  .  .  .  Spring 
brings  re-selection  of  Bosien   to   fly  the  Bird  in  '44.

Congratulations! 


You  have  two  minutes,  Miss  Willis  .  .  .  two  min- 
utes before  curtain  .  .  .  two  minutes.  ...  Hey, 
Parker,  did  you  get  the  second  act  set  fireproofed? 
.  .  .  Not  yet,  Miss  Lewis.  .  .  .  Where  is  the  news- 
paper? .  .  .  Willis  has  got  to  have  a  newspaper 
.  .  .  one  minute,  Miss  Stevenson  .  .  .  one  minute 
before  curtain.  .  .  .  Say,  you,  I'm  from  the  fire 
department;  you  can't  use  those  wing  lights,  it's 
dangerous.  .  .  .  O.  K.,  that  set  is  finished,  Miss 
Lewis.  .  .  .  Say,  I'm  from  the  fire —  ...  on  stage, 
on  stage  .  .  .  Say,  you  can't  use  those  lights  .  .  . 
curtain  going  up  ...  on  stage  everybody  .  .  .  Say, 
you  can't,  oh,  well,  what's  the  use.  .  .  .  And  thus 
is  the  first  night  of  "Double  Door."  .  .  .  High- 
point  of  the  play  is  the  Willis  madness  scene — 
caressing  her  pearls  as  she  cackles  into  maniacal 
insanity.  .  .  .  March  brings  a  selection  of  the 
spring  play.  .  .  .  The  tradition  is  Shakespeare — 
but  there  are  no  boys.  .  .  .  What  to  do?  .  .  .  The 
new  director,  Mary  Miller,  has  brains  as  well  as 
beauty.  .  .  .  She  chooses  Cymbeline,  cuts  its  five 
plots  to  one.  .  .  .  Rehearsals  every  night  until  all 
hours.  .  .  .  First  night  again  .  .  .  the  lights  play 
hide  and  seek  .  .  .  then  the  play  begins.  .  .  . 
Finally  all  is  over  in  the  midst  of  rousing  ap- 
plause. .  .  .  We  play  again  for  the  Shakespearian 
Society.  .  .  .  Dramat  taps  the  most  talented  .  .  . 
the  year  ends  with  the  impressive  candlelight  in- 
itiation ceremony.

BASKETBALL 


GEORGE  ZURAS 

Captain 


Basketball  practice  begins  in  mid-October  with 
eight  veterans  reporting  .  .  .  George  Zuras,  cap- 
tain, Bart  Fugler  and  Bunny  Rabbitt  return  from 
last  year's  starting  five  .  .  .  November  sees  fifteen 
men  of  the  original  twenty-seven  competing  for  a 
place  on  the  varsity  squad.  .  .  .  Homecoming  Day 
opens  the  basketball  season  with  the  Eagles  meet- 
ing the  star-studded  Curtis  Bay  Coast  Guard 
quintet.  .  .  .  Despite  seventeen  tallies  by  Zuras 
and  eleven  by  Fugler  the  Kalijarvimen  dropped 
their  opening  game  57-43.  .  .  .  December  brings 
varsity  tilts  in  quick  succession  .  .  .  Catholic  U. 
trips  the  Eagles  ...  the  Baltimore  Bees  watch 
Zuras  roll  up  26  points  ...  the  Georgetown  Hoyas, 
cne  of  the  nation's  best  college  ball  clubs  this 
year,  catch  the  Kalijarvimen  off  guard  to  the  tune 
of  105  points.  .  .  .  Those  sharp  shooting  netmen, 
Zuras,  Rabbitt,  Fugler,  Miller  and  Hossick,  go 
all  the  way.  .  .  .  Johns  Hopkins  and  The  American 
University  renew  their  annual  rivalry.  .  .  .  This  is 
the  second  year  in  succession  the  Orange  and  Blue 
hoopsters  have  stacked  up  against  the  Johnnies 
the  night  after  playing  Georgetown.  .  .  .  Revenge 


is  in  the  Eagles'  wings  after  last  year's  defeat. 
.  .  .  Johns  Hopkins  is  slaughtered.  .  .  .  Next  Gal- 
laudet  falls  by  the  wayside.  .  .  .  Loyola,  Mason- 
Dixon  leader  beats  the  A.  U.  birds  .  .  .  and  Balti- 
more falls  again.  .  .  .  Christmas  vacation  and  exams 
take  a  big  chunk  out  of  playing  time.  .  .  .  Zuras 
is  leading  the  District  scorers  with  an  average  of 
18.3  points  per  game  .  .  .  Bunny  Rabbitt  deals 
a  body  blow  to  the  squad  as  he  leaves  for  the  Army 
Air  Corps  .  .  .  Bob  Fugler  is  called  up  by  the 
army.  .  .  .  Second  semester  .  .  .  the  Kalijarvimen 
win  a  one-sided  victory  over  the  Bridgewater 
Eagles  of  Virginia  .  .  .  Zuras  and  Fugler  set  a  fast 
pace  .  .  .  the  end  of  the  game  sees  the  Eagle 
Mason-Dixon  Conference  standing  much  improved 
with  a  season  high  of  79  points  .  .  .  and  Bart 
Fugler  sets  a  new  District  of  Columbia  season 
individual  scoring  record  by  rolling  up  35  markers 
.  .  .  the  previous  high  was  the  29-point  count 
netted  by  Ernie  Travis  of  Maryland.  .  .  .  Zuras, 
leading  scorer  of  the  District,  counted  28  points 
from  all  parts  of  the  court  .  .  .  "The  Greek"  now 
has  an  average  of  20  points  a  game,  with  Fugler 


pushing  close  on  a  17-point  average.  .  .  .  Two 
days  later  sees  a  free-scoring  game  with  the 
Swarthmore  cage  squad  .  .  .  The  Eagle  Courtmen 
are  nosed  out  in  the  final  minutes  of  play  64-60. 
.  .  .  Fugler  and  Zuras  again  led  the  scorers  with 
26  and  24  points  respectively.  .  .  .  Wiry  Joe 
Hossiclc  showed  up  even  better  than  usual,  sinking 
double-deckers  in  the  first  half  .  .  .  March  shows 
Zuras  topping  the  total  individual  scoring  total 
of  the  District  ...  set  by  Ernie  Travis  of  Mary- 
land last  year  at  327  .  .  .  "The  Greek"  raised  the 
record  to  a  377  total  .  .  .  Captain  Zuras  averaged 
19.8  points  during  a  nineteen-game  schedule  .  .  . 
Fugler  came  mighty  close  in  compiling  a  17.6 
average.  .  .  .  Nonetheless  the  Eagle  netmen  com- 
pleted their  schedule  by  dropping  the  last  four 
games.  .  .  .  The  Boiling  Field  game  was  one  pain- 
ful to  recall  .  .  .  Leaving  the  floor  at  half-time 
with  a  seven-point  lead  the  Eagles  couldn't  get 
started  again.  .  .  .  Maybe  it  was  that  half-hour 
blackout  coming  during  intermission!  ...  or  the 
ex-pros  who  were  on  the  Army  squad.  .  .  .  The 
next  evening  the  Terrors  of  Western  Maryland 
invaded  the  A.  U.  gym  and  made  off  with  the 
bacon  54-40.  .  .  .  Mogowski  of  the  Westminster 
team  capped  scoring  honors  over  Zuras  by  four 
points.  .  .  .  The  Mason-Dixon  Conference  keeps 
the  Eagle  quint  to  the  semi-finals  when  they  were 
tossed  out  by  Gallaudet  .  .  .  Fugler  topped  the 
Travis  score  by  seven  points  .  .  .  Bob  Miller  stead- 
ily maintained   his  brilliant   defensive   play. 

A.   U.   scores  again.

American's  amazing  amazons  .  .  .  those  muscle-making 
wonder  women  .  .  .  plenty  of  punch  yet  glamorous  gals 
.  .  .  how  do  they  keep  in  condition  without  becoming 
musclebound?  .  .  .  the  answer  is  that  grueling  course 
called  Body  Mechanics  .  .  .  push-ups  .  .  .  bar  techniques  .  .  . 
and  those  aching  acrobatics  for  defects  .  .  .  first  they 
measure  you — then  they  tell  you  where  and  what  to  take 
off  or  put  on  .  .  .  and  then — they  make  you  do  it  .  .  . 
new  rules  this  year  .  .  .  only  one  cut  a  semester,  and  we 
thought  three  were  too  few! — would  that  the  faculty  had 
to  take  physical  education,  too  .  .  .  not  only  that  but 
archery  is  restricted — only  the  really  feeble  can  play  Cupid 
.  .  .  previously  all  of  us  jemmes  jatales  indulged  in  this 
parlor  game  .  .  .  hockey  in  the  fall  .  .  .  basketball  in  the 
winter  .  .  .  tennis  in  the  spring  .  .  .  and  our  favorite — 
new  this  year — Softball  .  .  .  Coach  Gagnon  turns  out  to 
be  particularly  good  at  tennis  .  .  .  May  first  brings  a 
special  event — tournaments  with  local  schools — archery, 
ping-pong,  and  tennis  .  .  .  throughout  the  year  inter- 
sorority  contests  added  pep  to  the  programs  .  .  .  several 
ping-pong  fests  and  the  annual  basketball  tilt  .  .  .  but  the 
most  fun  came  during  rainy  weather — then  we  played  tennis 
in  the  men's  gym — we  never  had  such  appreciative  spec- 
tators before  .  .  .  climax  of  the  year  was  the  men's  varsity- 
women's  varsity  basketball  game  .  .  .  such  fun  and  frolic.

^r    Word  ^rrom  the  C^dit 


or 


The  1943  Aucola  began  its  fight  for  birth  and  recognition  via  the 
U.  S.  mail  and  was  thrown  from  Nashville  to  Washington  and  Washington 
to  Nashville  time  and  time  again. 

Having  gained  strength  and  fortitude  in  this  manner — and  having 
gotten  smoothed  and  shaped  in  just  the  right  places — it  began  to  look 
like  a  true  well-rounded  book.  And  then  came  the  budget  and  the  war 
shortages.  Well,  the  Aucola  has  had  at  least  a  dozen  different  personalities 
— but  we  have  tried  to  do  our  best  to  get  as  much  human  interest  and  as 
many  pictures  in  as  possible. 

First  honors  go  to  Ruth  Gross,  business  manager.  It  seems  to  be  a 
tradition  that  editors  and  business  managers  don't  converse  with  each  other 
— in  other  words,  they  aren't  on  speaking  terms.  I  think  we  did  very  well. 
I  can't  say  that  we  were  always  speaking  to  each  other — we  usually  yelled! 
But  we  did  our  utmost  to  get  along  and  help  each  other  out  in  tight  spots — 
Ruth  was  really  an  angel  when  it  came  to  the  final  spurt  of  copy.  With 
her  valiant  work  she  has  earned  her  admission  card  to  that  special  padded 
niche  of  heaven  reserved  for  the  exclusive  use  of  Aucola  slaves. 

Faith  Pettit  deserves  a  garland  of  roses  for  her  superlative  map.  And 
I  never  could  understand  how  the  Army  had  the  nerve  to  take  Ozzie 
Shumate  away  and  leave  me  with  the  sports  section  to  suffer  over  all  by 
my  lonesome. 

Bouquets  also  should  be  thrown  to  Connie  Barrows — my  associate  editor 
and  the  best  copy  reader  in  captivity;  to  Caroline  Sulzer  who  can  produce 
any  kind  of  copy  in  no  time  flat;  to  Jud  French,  Mimi  Berman,  Mary  Lou 
Courtney  and  Pris  Biron  who  gave  their  all  to  make  this  book  the  best  yet. 

I  can't  omit  a  tremendous  vote  of  thanks  to  Mr.  Benson  of  the  Benson 
Printing  Company,  and  Mr.  Motherway  of  Pontiac  for  their  unfailing 
assistance. 

Belle  Simon.

Unswerving  Devotion 
to  a  Worthy  Principle 

— is   the   measure   of   greatness   among   nations,   businesses   and 
individuals. 

For  almost  half  a  century,  the  Griffith-Consumers  Company 
has  steadfastly  pursued  the  ideal  of  striving  to  make  Washington 
homes  and  institutions  more  comfortable  places  in  which  to  live. 
The  extent  to  which  we  have  succeeded  is  marked  by  the  fact  that
