Many Novelties On Program as
Planned by Ags, Vets, and
Home Ecs
BAND LEADS PARADE
Main Show Opens at Eight P.
M. with Prof. Guyton Acting
as Master of Ceremonies
Plans have been virtually complet­ed
for the biggest and best fair ever
to be held on Ag Hill. The parade
through town on tomorrow after
noon at 3:30, led by the Auburn
band, will contain a large number of
floats from the different departments
of the school of Agriculture, as well
as one from the Home Economics
school, and one from Vet. Hill. Ca­vorting
along with the column of
floats will be cowboys (Auburn
style), clowns (of the blackface
type) and pretty girls (Alabama
fashion). After parading around
town, the line of march goes back
to Ag Hill, where final preparations
will be made for a night of fun.
Then, at 7:15, the midway with its
wheels of chance and famed side­shows
will open. There you may
gamble to your hearts content, or
until your pocketbook is empty. You
may see various and sundry wonders
of the world, all for a mere pittance.
The main show opens at 8:00 with
that premier announcer of Ag Hill,
Prof. Guyton, in the role of Master
of Ceremonies. The cowboys will
demonstrate their ability at riding
the fiery steeds of the Plains—the
bull. A pig, which has had a liberal
application of grease, will be caught
by the most scientific methods—as in­terpreted
by the Block and Bridle
Club pledges. A polo game with
wheelbarrows as horses will be play­ed.
The Queen of the Harvest will
be crowned in convincing fashion by
the faculty members. The greased
pole will be climbed for an unknown
prize. The freshmen- will have a shoe

MANY GIRLS ATTEND
SOPHOMORE HOP AS
SOCIAL SEASON OPENS

Twenty-Five Co-eds Attend
Season's Feature
SCENE DEPICTS SWAMP
Auburn Knights Offer Excel­lent
Music Following En­largement
of Orchestra
The social season was ushered in
last week-end as the Opening Dances
brought a number of girls into Au­burn.
Although a large number of
students made the trip to New. Or­leans
to see the Tigers down the
Green Wave, about seventy-five girls
and one hundred and fifty boys at­tended
the dances. "\
The Auburn Knights, making their
first public appearance since they
had enlarged their orchestra and re­juvenated
their folio of music, of­fered
excellent music as the couples
danced away the majority of Friday
and Saturday. Conrad Stayton,
member of the Glee Club quartet,
sang the vocal refrains of the vari­ous
numbers and received the plaud­its
of those present.
The gymnasium was decorated to
depict a southern swamp scene, with
Spanish moss hanging overhead and
around the walls. Glimpses of a
typical swamp were in evidence
around the walls and behind the or­chestra.
Immediately in front of the
orchestra was a pool from which
three fountains sprayed water up­ward
to be colored by effective light­ing.
The entrances for boys and girls
were through the trunks of live oak
trees, from the branches of which
monkeys hung dangling.
The Sophomore Grand march was
held on Saturday night instead of on
Friday night as had been previously
planned. Miss Johnnie Yarbrough
lead the march, being accompanied
by George Quinney, Sophomore mem­ber
off the Social Committee.
A slight delay in the starting of
the" Saturday afternoon tea dance
was caused by the football matinee
which was attended by practically all
who remained in town. During the
tea dance Blue Key tapped seven­teen
seniors for outstanding work in
school and in extra-curricula activi­ties.
Kappa Alpha, Beta Kappa, and
Phi Kappa Tau were the fraternities
which gave house parties for the visit­ing
girls.

The migration of more than six
hundred students and towns­people
to the Crescent City for
the great encounter between the
Tigers and the Green Wave be­gan
early Thursday morning and
continued until late Friday
night. A continuous line of
automobiles was in evidence all
along the highway leading to
New Orleans as Auburn support­ers
were urged on to the scene
of victory; while many more
rode the special train, taking
advantage of the low round
trip rate offered by Western of
Alabama and L. & N. Railroads.

Major Franke Speaks
To Opelika Kiwanians
The Opelika Rotary Club heard
Major Franke in an informal talk on
football at their luncheon last Tues­day.
Auburn's coaches had been in­vited
to be guests of the club, but
circumstances prevented their at­tending.
Major Franke gave some interest*-
ing facts in comparing this year's
team to those of recent years. In
commenting on the new rules, he
said that they were excellent and
would prevent injury to players.
Glee Club Try-Outs
Held Last Thursday
The first tryouts for the Auburn
glee club were held last Thursday
night at Langdon hall and fifty men
were retained. This number; how­ever,
is not final and no permanent
roster will be made until after the
eliminations which will probably
come in about two weeks. The glee
club is now still in its formative
state and no definite plans have been
made regarding its future; although
it is practically certain that no trips
are to be made this season.
Mr. Bidez, the director, asks that
all men who are interested in this
work attend the next meeting which
will be held at Langdon -Hall on
Thursday night, October 27.
The opening of the polls for the
freshman election tomorrow will find
sixteen members of the class of 1936
making their maiden voyages in the
sea of politics. According to Scott
Turk, chairman of the Elections Com­mittee
sixteen freshmen have turned
in petitions for class offices. The
following are the candidates:
For president: George F. Bohor-foush,
William "Bee" Jordan, Duke
Paterson, and Will P. Saunders,
For vice-president: Prentice Able,
J. F. Cardinal, Vernon L. Collins, P.
E. "Red" Blackwell, and W. W.
"Bill" McTyeire.
For secretary: Frances Ashurst
and Fred Black. /
For treasurer: Edwin Jolly, Robert
Ward and Rupert Wilson.
For historian: Horace Perry and
William N. Sanders.
Voting will take place in the Y.
M. C. A., the polls opening at eight
o'clock and closing at five.
Enrollment Shows All
Counties Represented
Among the students registered for
the 1932 fall term at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute 294 are from
Lee County, according to the roster
released by Charles W. Edwards, as­sociate
registrar.
Each of Alabama's 67 counties is
represented at Auburn, with the larg­est
number coming from Lee. Jeffer­son
County ranks second with 227
students, and Montgomery third with
82.
Of the out-of-state students, Geor­gia
heads the list with 107. Florida's
representation of 26 students ranks
second, and Mississippi follows with
21.
Numerous other states and several
foreign countries are also represented
at the institution. Three students
are from Cuba, one from Armenia
and one from China. The total en­rollment
at this date numbers 1560.
A fighting bunch of Tigers would
not be denied Saturday, and as a re­sult
the Green Wave of Tulane was
stemmed, gathered together, and
thrown back into the stream of
Southern Conference competition,
while the Tigers rest preudly on top
of the heap, alongside" Tennessee.
The story has been told and retold.
Every man, woman and child in Au­burn
knows "how Captain Jimmie
Hitchcock startled the south with his
two brilliant touchdown dashes, how
the Plainsmen completely bottled up
the great Zimmerman, and how the
entire Auburn team co-ordinated in
driving that final touchdown across.
Every Auburn player was a hero in
the 19 to 7 triumph and they were
given an ovation befitting heroes as
3000 people gathered at noon Sunday
to greet them upon their return from
New Orleans. The much criticized
attitude of the New Orleans fans
was certainly not noticeable Satur­day.
< They, too, cheered the Plains­men
as they walked off the field and
no Tulane back, including, Banker,
or Flournoy, ever received more ap­plause
than did Jimmie Hitchcock.
Innumerable adjectives have been
used in describing the play of the Au­burn
captain. The New Orleans
scribes were especially generous in
their praise. Charles Dufour in the
Item-Tribune said: "Hitchy might
have been some orange puff of smoke
the way he slipped through tacklers.
Grabbing him was like trying to grab
a glass of water without the glass."
Harry Martinez, sports editor of the
New Orleans States called Hitchcock
one of the country's greatest backs.
He adds: "Hitchcock dominated the
situation whenever an opportunity
arose £nd won his spurs in New Or­leans.
He was lifted to the. shoulders
of men, who crowded onto the field
after the game and carried away as
if Jimmie were oheof our own."
The all round play of David Ariail
also brought glowing praise from the
sports critics. Bennie Fenton, sub­stituting
for the injured Porter
Tigers Are Met By
Throngs On Return
Approximately three thousand
people crowded into the area
around the station on Sunday to
welcome the victorious Tigers
back from their battle with Tu­lane.
At twelve fifteen, the band
formed and marched to the sta­tion
where students and towns­people
together with residents of
neighboring towns joined in pay­ing
noisy tribute to the team. A
number of cameramen and news­paper
reporters were present to
take pictures of both players
. and coaches and to get state­ments
from them for some of the
South's leading newspapers.

in Montgomery.
Three new yells are wanted by the
cheerleaders. Prizes of $5.00, $3.00

TWO APPROPRIATIONS BILLS
ARE PASSED IN LEGISLATURE
The Goode Appropriations Bill and
a companion measure, making teach­ers'
warrants negotiable, were passed
in the House of Representatives in
the State Legislature last night. The
appropriations bill passed 72 to 16,
and the companion bill 69 to 9.
In turn the Senate passed the joint
committee appropriation bill and a
companion bill revamping appropri­ations
for education. Eleven amend.-
ments were proposed to the bill, but
only four passed.
Senator McDaniel introduced a
substitute bill for the substitute bill
for Senate Bill No. 236, a measure
which increased appropriations to
education approximately $2,155,000
over the proposed appropriations
contained in the bill drafted by the
joint appropriation committee from
the Senate and House which was re-jetced
by the Senate finance and tax­ation
committee. The bill was pas­sed,
29 to 1, and goes with Bill No.
235 to the House.
In a stubborn battle supporters of
the Goode Bill beat down the ob­stinate
opposition of the administra­tion's
forces, defeating one amend­ment
after another. Debate lasted
over four hours, although the defeat
of the opposition was overwhelming.

the University of Illinois in 1904, the
purpose being to bring into union
for mutual benefit those men in the
profession of electrical engineering
who, by their attainments in college
or in practice, have manifested a
deep interest and marked ability in
their chosen work.

The parents of the twelve Nursery
School children have organized them­selves
into a group for supporting
the school. They have taken the
whole responsibility upon their
shoulders. The purpose of the Nur­sery
School is primarily a prepara­tion
for pre^parental education and
preparing teachers. It serves as a
laboratory where participation is car­ried
along with lecture work in child
development in psychology.
The age of the children range
from 22 months to 4 years. There
are 6 boys and 6 girls. Miss Grace
Gardner, director of the Nursery
School, selected the group to balance
in both sex and age.
The aim with the children is train­ing
for independence, habit forma­tion,
social features, and developing
activities. The children are individ­uals
in social groups who have to
stand their own rights, which develop
activities. The children are taken
for walks where they have new ex­periences
in seeing machines at work
and seeing animals. This broadens
their ideas. The materials are car­ried
over into their play at the Nur­sery
School, and is repeated* in their
own homes in the family activities.
Hot lunch is served to the children.

EDITORIAL POLICY—HA!
After two months of nerve-racking col­legiate
journalism we pause to observe the
scattered fragments of newspaper ideals
and illusions which we so reverently fost­ered
at the beginning of the year. Like
most misled adolescents we began with an
editorial policy, a policy that embraced all
that we held holy and sacred in journalism.
We were going to be liberal, independent,
and unbiased. In trying to live up to these
ideals we have not met with the whole­hearted
approval of the student body. We
cannot be liberal; we have been told that
some opinions should not be expressed. We
cannot be independent; the school looks to
the legislature for future revenue. We can­not
be unbiased; we have to support the
journalistic traditions of The Plainsman's
past. And intelligence must be subordinate
to all of these things.
The result is that we find ourselves tied
down by the thongs of Philistinism; what
convention and custom say we must do.
Perhaps this arrangement is better. We are
at best only a mediocre set of young up­starts,
a fact that fits well into the schemes
of the herd. Should we show signs of in­telligence
we would have the whole Philis­tine
pack on our heads.
As for our editorial policy, it has proved
mere vanity and vexation of spirit; as for
liberalism, it will be hounded in Auburn
for many years to come.
We have, then, two courses left: we can
cavil to the favor of the mob and produce a
maudlin newspaper, or we can do what we
please and publish the best paper of which
we are capable. Heads or tails?
AG FAIR
On Thursday the students in Agricul­ture,
Veterinary Medicine, and Home Econ­omics
will present their annual fair. This
is a gala day on Ag Hill, when classes are
forgotten and frivolity is the watchword.
In the past these exhibitions have been
highly successful, and The Plainsman
wishes to give its hearty endorsement to
the present one. This presentation in ar­tistic
form of the work of the agricultural
students has come to occupy a significant
" place in undergraduate life in Auburn, and
we sincerely hope that the fair this week
will meet with as great a success as pos­sible.
THE WORM IS TURNING
Those of us who have grown up in Ala­bama
since the passage of the Eighteenth
Amendment, look with amazement at the
growing tendency of the lawmakers of this
state to align themselves on the side of
Prohibition Repeal. Through the long
years since the war we have become accus­tomed
to the title of "Driest State in the
Union," and have considered it justly merit­ed.
We have listened while our mothers
and other feminine relatives heatedly debat­ed
the question before our silent fathers
and uncles. We have trudged dustily be­hind
the bands that blared their way to­ward
the halls where the valient "Knights
of Temperance" held sway. We have dim­ly
realized that somewhere, someday, some
chap with unlimited courage would advo­cate
striking the Volstead Act from the
lawbooks.
The repeal of the state law prohibiting
the sale of near beer, after almost two de­cades,
is a very evident straw in the wind.
The old-time legislatures of our- fathers
have given reluctantly away to the newer
and broader-minded one which is now mak-
. ing the laws of this state. The general
sentiment of these legislators and of we
youngsters who shall follow them is over-'
whelmingly against prohibition. We have
impartially rioted its failure. We have seen
others break and have broken ourselves a
dozen laws designed to enforce the Eigh­teenth
Amendment, and we are disgusted
with its futility. It is not surprising, there­fore,
that we heartily cheer those men who
are paving the way toward a new era when
the individual liberties which Washington
and Jefferson enjoyed will be restored to us.
The worm has turned. A new day is dawn­ing
over Alabama.—J. L. T.
PERSONAL APPEARANCES
Now that the. dances are over and we're
back from the Crescent City we can all relax
and be natural again. We can hang up our
neat appearance with our company manr
ners and be assured that we won't be" ex­pected
to use them until the next influx of
"best girls" or the next football trip.
Personal appearance is one of the main
bases for the impression of a person's char­acter.
We are judged largely by the way
we look; therefore first impressions of a
school are influenced by the neatness of the
student body, as well as of the campus and
buildings. __
Auburn has been knocked more than a
few times for the general "rough neck"
aspect of members of the student body.
Some think that because of athletic achieve­ments
they gladden the eyes of their fellow
men and women by exposing goodly portions
of hairy shanks and chests. The task of
shaving is odious, but shirking from this
task is even more odious to those of us who
must look at inch-long stubbles. Nothing
is more unkempt and trampish looking than
a day's beard. It denotes laziness and slov­enly
personal habits.
We do not "dress" at Auburn. It would
be too expensive for our slim purses. But
neatness is not expensive. Shoe polish is
cheap, clean finger nails and a shave cost
nothing much but time and effort and
clothes brushes do wonders.
Even if the majority refuses to conform
to conventions of dress held up by most ac­credited
colleges, it can at least attend to
the details which mean so much to a neat
appearance. Perhaps at some future time
when all dreams come true Auburn might
become a college where ALL the men are
gentlemen in conduct and dress.
A SILVER LINING
Even so devastating a calamity as the
present economic crisis has its bright side.
On every hand reports come to our ears
from the professors to the effect that stu­dents
this year take their work more seri­ously
than ever before. New interest in
one's work, the realization-that jobs will be
hard to get, and the sacrifices undergone
by parents to send their children to school,
all contribute to make students pay more
attention to their work.
Professors in all departments of the in­stitution
declare that the attitude of the
undergraduates this year has been most
encouraging. This interest on the part of
students in their work should contribute
greatly to a better future. When prices re­turn
to normal, and when business resumes
its former stable basis, more efficient men
will be available from Auburn who are well-fitted
for their positions. What the stu­dents
now are learning—and they are learn­ing
more than their immediate predecessors
—will enable them to rise more quickly in
their fields of endeavor than those who are
immediately ahead in point of age. This
new outlook on the part of "students is to
be noted with optimism, and their exertions
encouraged; all conscientious work finds its
reward sooner or later.

ONE WORD can define the Cajoler
—Vulgar.
I'm not criticising the Cajoler. I
read it and liked most of the jokes in it
. . . so did you. But the thing IS vulgar,
gentlemen; it has to be to sell. Experience
has shown the editors of such humorous
magazines that the more vulgar the maga­zine,
the better it sells.
Such a magazine shows up the dirty
minds of me and you. The minds of pres­ent
day people are, right now, at a deplor­able
level in regard to such publications.
Nothing is sweet and beautiful anymore.
How sad.
I feel sorry for the sportswriters who
attempted to write up the account of the
Auburn-Tulane game. There are times in
a writer's life when he would like to say
something . . . put something on paper . .
and he just can't put down what he thinks
will properly express his feelings.
I hear there was a mighty football game
in New Orleans Saturday, and that Auburn
played as no Auburn team has played jn a
decade. Some mighty fine things were said
of the Auburn football team, and individual
players by the sportswriters all over the
South after the game, but I feel that those
writers felt . . . just had a feeling some­where,
that was much more than they could
put on paper.
We all feel that Auburn has the greatest
team in the country. I think so, but I will
go no farther. I know what I think of the
team but I can't make it look right on paper.
I could never make decent praise. I leave
you sports writers with your difficult job.

There is no understanding the thoughts
arid antics of people. I find it a most en­tertaining
recreation to watch people; talk
with people; get their ideas; notice their
different mannerisms, and t ry to understand
why I like one person, and dislike another
person.
Every person has a manner of his own,
a way of parting his hair perhaps, different
expressions of speech, and an entirely dif­ferent
way of acting.
You know your own feelings, what you
like, and dislike; what you hope for . . .
your plans. How interested it is to think
sometimes, that there are other people.
Those people have thoughts and despairs
just as you have. It seems I have just
realized that there are perhaps, other people
in the world, a/hd now I find it quite inter­esting
to discover the differences between
people, and myself. One, sometimes, has
beautiful thoughts; how nice it is to discov­er
that another person has also beautiful
thoughts, possibly nicer than yours.
But I despair of girls; I'll have to stick
to boys. I have never found a girl-whose
thought paralleled mine. Girls have nice
mannerisms and beautiful individualistics,
and perfect thoughts sometime, but try and
understand them.
* * * *
I suppose I feel good; I have almost con­quered
my age old habit of sitting in a
class room, 'gazing out tlie'windows at the
beautiful trees, and wondering whether a
certain girl loved me or not, and worrying
awfully about it too. All the, time the pro­fessor
was trying to teach me what I had
paid my money to learn.
I broke that habit by thinking, sitting
up late at night, you know, writingup labs.
I have begun to think that no girl is worth
the worry and thoughts of a man going to
school when he has something to learn. On
what a man learns in college depends his
future life, and it is rather, and quite diffi­cult
to anyone's mind to try and think of a
lovely little girl and electricity at the same
time . . . or even business administration.
Let the other fellow have her, I say, and
cease your worries.
Love, I suppose, is for people who have
time for it.

There was enough gin and whiskey
brought back from New Orleans to float
toy row boats in most any bathtub in town.
That reminds me of the fun I had one time
in watching three drunks in a bathtub.
They were rowing, and singing pretty
songs; splashing water all over the floor,
and with idiotic smiles and wet hands they
invited me to mount the gondola and float
down the mysterious sea of life with them.
I don't think they said mysterious; they
were too drunk. I declined because I wasn't
drunk, and because I thought there wouldn't
be any romance in rowing about in dirty,
soapy water. I did like to watch them
though. There is some more people you
may think about, and try to understand.
One of them may evolute into as great a
sailor as John Paul Jones ever was.

GREAT IN defeat as in victory is
Tulane. They lost and took their
defeat gloriously as real and genuine,
sportsmen. Glowing reports of this were
brought to Auburn by those who witnessed
the football classic in New Orleans Satur­day.
Tulane students and other supporters
went wild over the Auburn team. Many of
them participated in carrying Jimmie
Hitchcock "from the field after the game.
They were excellent sportsmen. None but
the highest praise has been heard about the
Tulane team, coaches, students, faculty, and
other supporters.
* * * *
The writer was in Birmingham because
of an old engagement but it was thrilling
to observe the interest in and enthusiasm
about Auburn there. The telephone at radio
station WAPI was ringing almost constant­ly
and almost every call inquired about the
Auburn-Tulane game. The same was true
over at the Birmingham News. The tele­phone
operator there was saying in response
to each call, "19 to 7 in favor of Auburn."
At both places there seemed to be very
little concern about any game other than
Auburn and Tulane. And Auburn enthusi­asts
were spreading j o y on the streets until
late that night.
* * * *
All this attention reveals conclusively the
greatness and popularity of Auburn in
Birmingham. Only one disappointed person
became evident to me; and it was plain that
he had bet on the wrong team. He insisted
that the Auburn victory was "an accident."
His attention was called to the-score and
the other facts of the game -but he still
insisted that it was an accident.
It is my conclusion that it was good for
him to lose because (1) betting is bad, (2)
he was a poor loser, and (3) any man who
bets against Auburn should lose.
* - * * • *
Newspaper accounts of the game were
excellent. They were, to use a long word,
the rapprochement of perfection. This
was impressed on me upon reading the
stories written by Stuart Stephenson, by
Zipp Newman and Morgan Blake. Stories
by the New Orleans sports writers have
been praised in highest terms by Auburn
people.
Radio station WMC a t Memphis replayed
the game in the air Sunday night The
Commercial Appeal's sport editor did it.
He made it interesting, realistic, and highly
complimentary to Auburn. He said that
"Jimmie Hitchcock is ail-American, if there
is one anywhere."
* *. * *
Much praise—richly deserved—was heap­ed
upon the Auburn coaching staff because
they, have taught the game for what it is;
and they have been most efficient and effec­tive
in doing so. They have used it for
teaching and promulgating the highest
contemporaries greet me when on the way
to a big dance with a beautiful girl, and
me in the street with dirty raiment. I am
amused, you know.
character building—not alone for those on
the team, but for all those who watch them
play. In this way they are using a spectac­ular
game as a stepping stone to greater
and finer ideals and nobler living.
It was a joy to be with Doctor M. F.
Jackson, Auburn '02, while in Birmingham.
Doctor Jackson is with the T. C. I. Com­pany.
He is regarded as one of Birming­ham's
finest and most constructive citizens.
He has many connections and his friends
are legion.
He is active also in church work. He
was for three years superintendent of the
Sunday School of the Southside Baptist
Church, a Sunday School of 160 teachers
and an enrollment of 1800. He is now as­sociate
superintendent, having declined to
continue his services in that capacity be­cause
of so many demands upon his time.
Doctor Jackson's brother (Mr. J. B. Jack­son)
is a chemist at Auburn.
* * * *
The situation at Montgomery has im­proved;
Auburn and other institutions of
learning have better prospects. Appropri­ations
will be reduced but not to the clos­ing
point, as we see it now.
In view of this the Administrative Com­mittee
issued a statement in a recent issue
of The Plainsman giving assurance of con­tinued
operations. It is hoped that the
darkest cloud has passed but the fight is
not entirely won.
In all the discussion about education and
the legislature one important fact seems to
have been overlooked. It is that money
spent for education serves—in addition to
what it does for promotion of education—
is a business booster. Our educational
system is the most efficient and the most
thorough system in Alabama for the distri­bution
of money. If, for example, a million
dollars of cash goes into the school system
it is scattered immediately throughout the
State. It goes to the large cities, to the
little towns, and to the cross roads.
And the teachers don't hoard it. They
spend it for the necessities of life. They
buy clothes, and food, and books, and other
things which are essential to their work and
to living.
* * * *
Another strange fact about the discus­sion
of education has been the desire of a
few to cripple the entire system in Ala­bama,
to throw many out of employment,
to close the doors of schools and leave the
students with nothing to do, and to cause
national disrespect and ridicule for Ala­bama.
While a few would do this, many others
are seeking to extend employment, or to
reduce unemployment. It is obvious that
business cannot improve until employment
is increased. To decrease employment is to
enlarge and extend the terrible business
depression with which the American people
have been struggling since 1929.
We need more employment which is pro­ductive
and helpful; and school work cer­tainly
falls within this class. We need to
realize also that progress of a people goes
hand-in-hand with education. Unless there
is education there is no good progress.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this

and is not. to be read as an expression of our
editorial policy.
A FEW days ago an operator of a
sewing machine shop on the Pacific
coast was arrested for bombing the
office of a brokerage firm. He employed
twelve sticks of dynamite inserted in a
metal tube in perpetration of his act.
Upon his arrest he stated that he was
trying to show his feelings toward "big-tinie"
gambling, saying that while the
youths in the alleys and pool-rooms were
jailed for shooting dice for nickles and
dimes, the government allowed the wealthy
to gamble on the stock market for thous­ands
of dollars. '
He was placed under a large bond which
he was not able to raise and went to jail
to await trial. Crazy! That will be the
general reaction toward his actions and
statements.
No, not crazy, just unwise enough to use
siich violent means to express his senti­ments.
Unlucky? Yes. Unlucky enough
to be in the minority. While his action may
have been the result of a slightly distorted
conception of justice, certainly his concep­tion
is no more distorted than the attitude
our government takes toward the exact
practices he was brave enough or foolish
enough to combat in his own way. He took
care that there were no persons near enough
to be harmed by the explosion.'' He should
have saved one stick of the explosive for
himself, for he will continue to be in the
minority for a long, long time.
Regardless of the writer's personal be­liefs
toward college athletics as they stand
today, there is no denying that the present
condition of athletics at this institution is
commendable in at least one measure. Three
years ago the football squad was at the
lowest ebb that it has undergone since the
beginningof intercollegiate athletics at Au­burn.
Today the team is making a strong
bid for southern and national recognition.
Truly a remarkable shift from the condi­tion
of just a short while ago. In bringing
the team from one end of the conference
rating to the other, the coaches have ac­complished
a task which stamps them as
leaders in their field. There is no denying
that they have overcome seemingly insur­mountable
barriers to accomplish the prod­uct
they have at the present. No matter
what the attitude toward the condition of
college athletics is today, no matter how far
they have digressed from the true amateur
standing in the years gone by, they have
accomplished something that is nothing
short of miraculous. The writer has very
plainly stated in previous articles that pre­tended
simon-pure athletics in college at
the present is a childish assertion; but
since the new condition has become accepted
by the majority, since the new era has
taken the place of the old, I believe that in
given praise I will give it with "no strings
attached." They have reached the pinnacle
in their field.
Glancing through the files of last year's
Plainsman the following excerpt was taken
as quoted by the Montgomery Advertiser.
It seems that an inmate of Kilby Prison
offered the following prayer: "Our
Heavenly Father, we pray for the news­papers
and writers of the country. Help
them to know that the world does appreci­ate
them in thair struggles to make this a
better land in which to live. Bless the
newsgatherers of the world, who do as
much as any class to help this land to a
higher level." This offertory probably came
as a refreshing breeze to the members of
the fourth estate who read it. Prayers for
the press have almost ceased to exist, ex­cept
in some holy plea to save it from the
complete demoralizing of public sentiment.
Often the gods of wrath are called to bring
justice down upon wicked journalists, but
ethereal substantiation is rarely to be
found. After all the press and the ministry
are striving toward practically the same
goal—they are just using different ways to
get there.

- i • r an - '
Chapel Hill, N. C—(DTH)—In a
petition presented to Governor O.
Max Gardner last month by L. A.
Tatum, retired textile manufacturer,
three hundred supposedly prominent
citizens of North Carolina have called
on the governor to "save our state
from further predatory acts by these
so-called modern educators against
" 'things of the spirit'." Gardner has
yet to take any action on the matter,
however.
This action on the part of Tatum
and his supporters has brought forth
considerable comment throughout the
state as well as hte entire nation.
All of the state's larger newspapers
have harshly condemned Tatum and
his followers for their doings. And
many of the signers are now desiring
to have their names withdrawn from
the list, claiming that the petition
given to Gardner was not the one
they had signed. Likewise, several
newspapers that Tatum had quoted
as backing his project, have since
strenuously denied such a stand on
their part."
The petition was circulated by
Tatum as a result of the appearances
of Norman 'Thomas, Betrand Russell,
and Langston Hughes on the Univer­sity's
campus to deliver lectures to
the students.
Publicity of the petition reached
its climax recently when the Literary
Digest carried a full account of the
affair.

The first two years of R. O. T. C.
study are required at Auburn. The
high percent of Advanced Course en­rollment
indicates the soundness of
this policy, since many, due to unfa-miliarity
with the nature of this work
and the uncertainty as to their de­sires
when entering college, might
not otherwise qualify themselves for
the Advanced work and an eventual
commission in the Organized Reser­ves.

Dolly Meadows Wins
4-H Health Contest
TIGERS TAKE CONFERENCE
LEAD WITH TENNESSEE BY
SMOTHERING TULANE 19-7
Dolly Meadows, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Curtis Meadows, of
Meadows' Cross Roads, Lee County,
was awarded the state 4-H Health
championship in the contest held at
Woman's College in Montgomery,
Friday, October 21, 1932.
Miss Meadows was elected from
seven contest winners in the semi­finals
participated in by county
health champions at Auburn the past
June.
Miss Meadows will attend the Na­tional
4-H Congress, Chicago, in No­vember,
to enter the contest for
health champion of the U. S.
Miss Evelyn Jones, of Salem, Lee
County, who entered the clothing
contest received honorable mention.

down. As a result, the Greenies lead
in the statistics, making more first
downs and gaining more total yard­age
than did the Plainsmen. Jimmie
Hitchcock was way out in front in
the matter of individual yardage,
however, with an average of nine
yards gain for each time he carried
the ball from scrimmage.
The condition of Porter Grant re­mains
doubtful. He suffered a se­verely
wrenched knee and will be
unable to walk without the aid of
crutches for some time yet. The re­mainder
of the team came through
in fairly good shape and will be
ready for Mississippi Saturday.

and raw tobaccos
have no place in cigarettes
They are not present in Luckies
\ . . the mildest cigarette
you ever smoked
WE buy the finest, the very
finest tobaccos in all the
world—but that does not
explain why folks every­where
regard Lucky Strike as
the mildest cigarette. The fact
is, we never overlook the
truth that "Nature in the
Raw is Seldom Mild"—so
these fine tobaccos, after
proper aging and mellowing,
are then given the benefit of
that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the
words—"It's toasted". That's
why folks in every city^ town
and hamlet say that Luckies
are such mild cigarettes.

Does not this explain the world-wide acceptance and approval of Lucky Strike?
