to Attend Celebration
Plans have be6n completed for the
Armistice Day celebration which will
take place Friday. The program for
the day has been announced by Dean
John J. Wilmore after a conference
with Major Franke as follows:
Legionnaires of Auburn, Opelika,
and elsewhere (and ex-service men of
other wars) will assemble at 10
o'clock at College Street and Loacha-poka
Avenue, or at the filling sta­tion.
They will march through* town
to Bullard Field for the exercises.
At 10:10 the R. 0. T. C. assembly
call will be sounded; and the assemb­ly
will be made near Samford Hall.
At 10:20 the march to Bullard Field
will begin, led by the band.
On Bullard Field the R. O. T. C.
unit will parade and be reviewed by
military officials, officials of the col­lege,
and Judge W. H. Samford,
speaker of the day, and by legion­naires.
Ex-service men of all wars
are invited to participate.
The speaking will take place on
Drake Field immediately following
the parade on Bullard Field. The
R. O. T. C. unit, led by the band, will
march from Bullard Field to Drake
Field where a musical number will
be rendered by the band before
Judge Samford is heard.
Following Judge .Samford's address
the band will plax The Star Spangled
Banner, at the conclusion of which
the. national salute of 21 guns will be
fired.
All classes will be suspended at 10
o'clock for the day. The R. O. T. C.
unit will not be dismissed until the
closing of the exercises on Drake
Field.
A barbecue dinner will be served
by the P.-T. A. of the high school.
Mrs. J. C. Grimes, in charge of the
sale of tickets, has invited all those
who wish to participate in the barbe­cue
to purchase tickets in advance in
order that the committee on arrange­ments
will know how many will be
served.
A polo game is scheduled at Bullard
Field at 2:30 p. m. A team from At­lanta
will play the team of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
Judge Samford, principal speaker
of the day, is judge of the Alabama
Court of Appeals in Montgomery
and a very prominent Auburn alum-

The regular "monthly meeting of
the Woman's Athletic Association
was held in the Girls' Gym on Mon­day
at five p. m., to conduct busi­ness"
and discuss the award for mem­bership.*
It was decided that a mon­ogram,
'API, will be the letter given
for securing 100 points in athletic
achievement.
The point system is so arranged
that a girl cannot make her award in
one activity but must go out for
several sports. Participation in ma­jor
and minor sports and outside ac­tivity,
such as hiking and riding will
constitute points for the award.
There will be inter-mural sports be­tween
classes, each class to have two
teams. Volley ball practice has been
going on for sometime and the tour­nament
will be held this week. There
will be basketball, tennis and base­ball
tournaments this year as well as
contests in minor sports.
This organization for women stu­dents
interested in athletics was be­gun
last spring with the view of com­pleting
it this fall. The constitution
and point system were finished this
year and plans for the various tour­naments
are being discussed. Any

Round-Trip Rates to
Be Offered For Game
The Western Railway of Alabama
will run its usual round-trip rates
for the week-end of the Florida game.
Students may leave here Saturday
and return Sunday night, the fare be­ing
one dollar.
Amid the boos of the underclasses,
senior men and women at Auburn
voted down the proposed plan to
send the student body to Montgom­ery
on a special train this week-end
for the football game between Au­burn
and the University of Florida.
The senior class defeated the pro­posal
by a 3 to 1 vote, while the
three underclasses approved the mo­tion
by a similar majority.
The plan was originated by Robert
Ellis, Birmingham senior, and ap­proved
by the Military Department.
It was proposed that $700 would be
taken from the treasuries of the four
classes and added to approximately
$900 from the athletic department;
railroad transportation and a ticket
to the football game was to be given
each student. The military unit was
to attend the game in uniform and
parade from the Union Station in
Montgomery to Cramton Bowl. -
Heated arguments were made upon
each side of the question before the
vote of the senior class was taken.
Opponents of the proposal stated that
the unequal proportion which was to
be taken from the senior class
treasury did not warrant the passage
of the motion; it was also declared j
that the athletic department was j
pressed to closely for finances at the|
present to be asked to contribute the
proposed amount to be taken from
that source. Those who upheld the
movement declared that two home
games were promised the student
body, only one being on the complet­ed
schedule. Also, that the parade
would be a means of helpful pub­licity
for the institution.
Since the proposal has been de­feated
by the class from which a
large portion of the expense of the
trip was to be derived, the question
is to be declared closed.
Three years ago the military unit
was taken to Montgomery by special
train by the Military Department. A
parade was held before the unit pro­ceeded
to Cramton Bowl where the
Auburn and University of Florida
football teams met in their annual
encounter.
APPROPRIATIONS TO

PERCENT BY SOLONS
Combination of Senate Bill and
Goode Bill Passes as Special
Session Closes

Amount of Appropriations Not
Guaranteed in V i ew of Pas­sage
of Fletcher Bill
On the final day, November 4,- of
the special session of the Alabama
Legislature a general appropriation
bill was passed which reduced by 30
per cent appropriations to the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. The bill,
as it finally- passed, was a combina­tion
of the senate bill which was pre­pared
by a joint committee of the
house and the senate and, the Goode
bill which the house had passed by
an overwhelming majority.
The appropriations for education
as they were in the Goode bill were
included in the combination bill
which became a law with the signa­ture
of Governor Miller.
The new appropriations, effective
October 1, to the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute are now as follows:
Experimental Fields __. $ 16,800.00
Summer School 3,500.00
Maintenance Fund 31,500.00
Animal Husbandry 8,750.00
Investigations in Agri­culture

TIGERS SCORE EASILY TO
DEFEAT HOWARD BULLDOGS
NOTICE!
There will be a very important
meeting of the Auburn Engineer
Staff at Ramsey 213 Thursday night
at 7:30.
Auburn's Plainsmen continued
their victory march Saturday after­noon
at Montgomery by downing a
stubborn Howard College eleven 25
to 0.
In rolling up 18 first downs against
two for the Bulldogs, the Tigers
scored almost at will except in the
final quarter when Howard held twice
in the shadow of the goal line. At
times Howard's passing attack click­ed
but never threatened to score.
Captain Hitchcock again led the
Tiger attack. In the first quarter he
passed 20 yards to Rogers for a first
down on Howard's 20 yard line. On
the next play he lugged the ball to
the three-yard line from which point
Rogers scored. Ariail added the ex­tra
point from placement.
Late in the second quarter Hitch­cock
passed 25 yards to Talley, who
ran 15 more yards to the Bulldog 5-
yard line. Hitchcock crossed the goal
line standing up, but Ariail's kick
was blocked.
A 19 yard run in the third quarter,
by Hitchcock, added the next Auburn
touchdown, the Tiger captain break­ing
away from a mass of Howard
players to skirt right end for the
score. Ariail's kick was low.
The final score came soon after
(Continued on page 4)
Total .--_: $572,129.05
•Each of the above figures' is 70 per
cent of the amount appropriated for
each purpose prior to the recent act
except the last item of $20,280.00,
which was the old Land Grant inter­est
appropriation. According to the
law $165,843.63 of the above funds
will be used to off-set Federal Funds
for the Extension Service.
Although the amounts stated above
were appropriated the receipt of the
money each year is not guaranteed
in view of the fact that the Fletcher
budget bill enacted into law earlier
in the special session limits expenses
to income which means that in case
the total income of the State drops
below total appropriations it will be
necessary to reduce all expenses and
appropriations proportionately.
Dr. L. N. Duncan, who represented
Auburn in Montgomery during the
legislature, says that appropriations
as made were the best that could be
obtained under the circumstances.
He has received many compliments
on the able way he represented Au­burn;
and also for the service h.e
rendered education as a whole.
Another act of the legislature,
sought by Dr. Duncan, contains pro­vision
for paying to the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute $250,000.00, the
amount expended for buildings for
which no warrant had been received.
This act provides for paying this
amount out of the bond issue voted
on November 8; and it provided
further that in case of failure of this
bond issue the amount would be paid
out of any other funds or plan for
liquidating state debts, this making
it a permanent obligation to be paid
when funds are available.
Latest returns from the decision
of the. electorate over the State of
Alabama, showed definite eyidence
of defeat for each of the nine con­stitutional
ameuduiontii submitted to
the people in the general election.
The bond issue was further behind
than the income tax amendment at
the last tabulation. The latter was
lagging by a 2 to 3 majority.
Returns from the more populous
counties and urban communities indi­cated
a rising opposition to the
amendments.
Senator Hugo L. Black, opposed
by Republican Theodore Johnson of
Oneonta, was with Roosevelt far in
the lead. The Republican candidates
made no campaign in behalf of their
election.

AUBURN HIGH HALTS STRONG
FAIRFAX TEAM TO WIN 6 TO 0
By virtue of its 6 to 0 win over
Fairfax last week, Coach Frank Du-
Bose's football machine of Auburn
High is back in the running for local
championship honors. Auburn earned
at least three other touchdowns but
two untimely fumbles and an alert
Fairfax timekeeper prevented them
from materializing.- On two occa­sions
in the first half Auburn ad­vanced
to the five-yard marker only
to fumble; Fairfax recovering both
times. In the initial half, Fairfax
began a brilliant running attack
which was halted however on Au­burn's
25.
As the second half opened, Auburn
kicked to Fairfax, the ball rolling
over the goal. Melton, Auburn cap­tain,
downed the ball over the touch­down
stripe. With Auburn prepar­ing
to kick goal, a Fairfax timekeep­er
located a mound, from which Au­burn
kicked. The touchdown was
ruled out and Auburn re-kicked,
Pennington kicking to the five-yard
line. A punt by the valley eleven
and several passes by Auburn placed
the ball on Fairfax's twenty-five from
which point Fred Hammock on a lat­eral
pass, ran for a touchdown.
On the whole, the Auburn team
performed much better than in any

mid-night. This entrance of Gov­ernor
Roosevelt into the presidency,
marks the end of the twelve-year rule
of the Republican party at the execu­tive
post of the nation.
James A. Farley, Democratic na­tional
chairman, issued the statement
that the Democratic majority would
approximate a landslide, ever over­reaching
the predictions made at
Democratic headquarters. Several
Republican newspapers in the strate­gic
positions in the East conceded the
Democrats victory early this morn­ing.
'
New York state was taken over by
Roosevelt with its block of 47 elec­toral
votes. His plurality in New
York City was approximately 800,-
000.
At the present tabulation received
by radio, Roosevelt has a lead-in 42
states with a total of 461 electoral
votes. Kentucky, which does not be­gin
the count until this morning, will
add nine more, as the state was con­ceded
to the Democrats before the
election. This would raise the Demo­cratic
total to 470, outstripping the
record set by Hoover in 1928_with
444 electoral votes. Hoover's lead
was announced as definite in Penn­sylvania,
Connecticut, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine and Delaware. The
border states of the South, Tennes­see
and Kentucky, which went to
Hoover in 1928, were piling up large
pluralities for Roosevelt early in the
voting.
Texas had given the Democratic
candidate a six to one majority. The
entire South had resolidified in swing­ing
its block of votes to the Demo­cratic
candidate.
The Democratic majority contin­ued
throughout the West with
straight ticket voting being largely
prevalent. The southern state which
repudiated Smith in 1928, showed
conclusively that the Democratic
candidate had replaced Hoover in
that part of the country.
Both houses of Congress followed
the Democratic landslide with several
Republican stalwarts feeling the
change in the electorate's sentiment.

APRES LE BATAILLE
The Senior Class performed one of the
most intelligent acts of its career yesterday
when it refused to appropriate a large por­tion
of its class dues towards sending the
student body to the Florida game in Mont­gomery.
After considering the proposition from
every possible angle we have come to the
same conclusion that a majority of the
Seniors expressed Tuesday morning. In
the first place, the realization of such a pro­ject
would mean an expenditure of $700
from the dues of the four classes. This
would bankrupt the Freshman Class and re­duce
the funds in the other groups to an
alarmingly low figure. And since the school
year is only in its second month, it is high­ly
possible that other causes more deserving
will arise and present better claims to this
money. In the second place, to accomplish
the plan as presented to the classes, some
$QAO wnnlH liovo f.n ho. ovrtdndp^ ^3r +**o
Athletic Association, an organization that
is sadly in want of funds. Thirdly, the only
possible benefit the school could receive from
such a project would be the advertising de­rived
from a parade through Montgomery,
and this parade would hardly last longer
than a half an hour; considering the prop­osition
from the point of view cf advertis­ing
alone, the students would be paying
around twenty dollars a minute for such.
This could hardly be said to be businesslike.
There are many arguments of lesser im­port.
It is our opinion that the Seniors
acted in a commendable and praiseworthy
manner on the matter; they are to be con­gratulated
on their foresight and judgment.
SOCIALISM IN AMERICAN COLLEGES
Creeping almost unnoticed into the
columns of a number of college newspapers
in this country, and effectively illustrated
by recent student presidential polls, a mo­mentous
change is taking place in political
opinion among the educated classes. One
hundred and fifty years of growth has so
complicated the structure of that dream
which materialized in the signing of the
Declaration of Independence that it is ex­tremely
unlikely that the founders of the
United States would tolerate present day
conditions any more than do those leaders
of what we term Socialism. If we were
fortunate enough to have again the great
political mind of a Madison or a Jeffer­son
guiding one of the two older parties
of our jambled governmental structure it
seems possible that the policies of Social­ist-
presidential-candidate, Norman Thomas,
would be the avowed platform of either
the followers of the elephant or the donkey.
vWhen big-business and aristocratic, domi­neering
political machines so far forget
the "forgotten man" that both Franklin
Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover have re­cently
rediscovered, it is not a presumption
to say that the youth of this country, who
are beginning to learn the value of self-^
assertion, will not march behind the ban­ners
of the Democratic or the Republican
parties much longer.
Those who have grown up in this period
since the war are beginning to realize that
the world is approaching the end of an
era. When the greatest battles are fought
a dozen years after the official ending of a
conflict, even the youth of the world can
clearly see that the antiquated system of
our fathers must be discarded before it
gobbles up the futures of our children.
From the recent developments in Ameri­can
Colleges it is rapidly becoming clear
that younger Americans are disgusted with
the old order and are beginning to think in­dependently.
The policies of Socialism are
closer to tnose of Washington and Frank­lin
than either the policies of the Roose-velts
or the Hoovers. The question now is
how much of a swing away from our fath­ers
will we make. There is little doubt
that the movement has already begun.
How far will it go?
CONSIDER THY AVOIRDUPOIS
Co-eds who loiter and loaf should take
note of the advantages the recently orga­nized
W. A. A. offers. Afternoons habit­ually
spent in "bulling and idleness" could
be put to good use by going out for some
athletic team. This Woman's Athletic As­sociation
is young and cannot grow into a
strong organization unless it has the sup­port
and cooperation of the women stu­dents.
Begun only last spring and carried over
to this fall, the association has been rather
quiet in its working but nevertheless has
been steadily progressing towards its goal
—athletic activity for the co-eds of Au­burn.
The constitution of the W. A. A.
recently drawn up states its object as:
". . . to promote health, and interest in
play and create a spirit of good sportsman­ship."
Fostering a spirit of competition in
intra-mural sports between classes might
be said to be another of the aims of the
W. A. A.
„ This is the second sjsp in securing means
of outside athletic activity for co-eds. The
first was the Ladies' Riding Class. This
W. A. A. fills a need for those who cannot
join the riding class and also for those
girls who enjoy participation in many
sports. It is a means of healthy recreation,
being beneficial to mind as well as body. It
stimulates an interest in co-ed activity and
brings them closer together individually,
and through class competition. Finally, it
is another recognition of the co-eds' status
at Auburn and for that reason, particularly,
every woman student who possibly can
should cooperate with the officials of W. A.
A. by going out for as many sports as pos­sible.
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
Yesterday was election day. Several
millions of Americans expressed their
sovereignty through the ballot boxes. But
does the average voter know just what he
cast his ballot for? Does he really know
how the government is run? It is our be­lief
that the ordinary man in the streets,
the "forgotten man," has only a vague idea
of what he votes for on election day. 'He
lives in a world which he can not perceive,
does not comprehend, and is unable to di­rect.
We, the younger generation, are rather
skeptical about the democratic theory that
present-day candidates are forever talking
about. The citizen reigns in theory, but
in practice he does not govern. Walter
Lippmann, writing in his Phantom Public
points out:
". . . . For when the private man has
lived through the romantic age in politics
and is no longer moved by the stale echoes
of its hot cries, when he is sober and un­impressed,
his own part in public affairs
appears to him a pretentious thing, a sec­ond
rate, an inconsequential. You cannot
move him then with a good straight talk
about service and civic duty, nor by waving
a flag in his face, nor by sending a boy
scout after him to make him vote. He is a
man back home from a crusade to make the
world something or other it did not be­come.
He has been tantalized too often
by the foam of events, has seen the gas
go out of it, and, with sour derision for'
the stuff, he is saying . . . ."
All of this leads us to wonder if our
voting privileges are worthwhile. Is the
right to vote worth the poll tax? We
youngsters are patted on the back by well-fed
politicians and are urged to do the
right thing for our country/ state, and
community. At first that inspires an ideal­istic
few. But most of us feel like laugh­ing.
We do not know exactly how the
government is run, we do not know the
extent to which big business controls the
state, and there are a thousand and one
other things that we cannot understand.
Groping in the dark, we look for an ex­planation.
Is there one?
We were shocked to insensibility the other
day when the august Daily Tar Heel de­scended
to a flaming" streamer which out­raged
the front page of that publication.
Ah, Caesar, how low hast thou fallen.
. A hunger mob recently broke an Act of
Parliament by getting within three miles of
that body while it was in session. When
Englishmen break Acts of Parliament they
are really getting hungry.
And another presidential election closes.
The job man's soft soap salesmanship and
nerve-racking insistence drove us to a
streamer.
We thought we heard some boos down in
New Orleans, but those that echoed through
Langdon Hall yesterday gives Auburn a
booing championship. The big boobies.

AS SWEET as a cracker to a glass of
milk has come to me Stephen Lea-cock's
book, "My Discovery of
England."
Mr. Leacock speaking of co-education at
Oxford says:
"I do not mean to say, however, that my
judgment of Oxford is one undiluted
stream of praise. In one respect at least
I think that Oxford has fallen away from
the high ideals of the Middle Ages. I
refer to the fact that it admits women
students to its studies."
": . . . The fundamental trouble is that
men and women are different creatures,
with different minds and different aptitudes
and different paths in life. There is no
need to raise here the question of which is
superior and which is inferior (though I
think, the Lord help me, I know -the an­swer
to that too). The point lies in the
fact that they are different.
"But the mad passion for equality has
masked this obvious fact. When women
began to demand, quite rightly, a share in
higher education, they took for granted
that they wanted the same* curriculum as
the men. They never stopped to ask wheth-er
their aptitudes were not in various di­rections
higher and better than those of
the men, and whether it might not be bet­ter
for their sex to cultivate the things
which were best suited to their minds.
Let me be more explicit. In all that goes
with physical and mathematical science,
women, on the average, are far below the
standard of men. There are, of course,
exceptions.
"But they prove nothing. It is of no use
to quote to me the case of some brilliant
girl who stood first in physics atjCornell.
That's nothing. There is an elephant in
the zoo that can count up to ten, yet I re­fuse
to reckon myself his inferior.
"Tabulated results spread over years, and
the actual experience of those who teach
show that in the whole domain of mathe­matics
and physics women are outclassed.
At McGill the girls of our first year have
wept over their failures in elementary
physics these twenty-five years. It is time
that some one dried their tears and took
away the subject.
'". . . Bui there is a deeper trouble
still. The careers of the men and women
who go to college together are necessarily
different, and the preparation is all aimed
at "the man's career. The men are going
to be lawyers, doctors, engineers, busi­ness
men, and politicians. And the women
are not.
"There is no use pretending\about it. It
may sound an awful thing to say, but the
women are going to be married. That is,
and always has been, their career; and,
what is more, they know it; and even at
college, while they are studying algebra
and political economy, they have their eye
on it sideways all the time. The plain fact
i s that, after a girl has spent four years
of her time and a great deal of her par­ents'
money in equipping herself for a ca­reer
that she is never going to have, the
wretched creature goes and gets married,
and in a few years she has forgotten which
is the hypotenuse of a right-angled tri-angle,
and she doesn't care. She has much
better things to think of.
"At this point some one will shriek: 'But
surely, even for marriage, isn't it right
that a girl should have a college educa­tion?'
To which I hasten to answer: most
assuredly. I freely admit that a girl who
knows algebra, or once knew it, is a far
more charming companion and a nobler
wife and mother than a girl who doesn't
know x from y. But the point is this: Does
the higher education that fits a man to be
a lawyer also fit a person to be a wife
and mother? Or, in other wofds, is a law­yer
a wife and mother? I say he is not.
Granted that a, girl is to spend four years
in. time and four thousand dollars in money
in- going to college, why train her for a
career that she is never going to adopt?
Why not give her an education that will
have a meaning and a harmony with the
real life that she is to follow?
"For example, suppose that during her
foul- years every girl lucky enough to get
a higher education spent at least six
months of it in the training and discipline
of a hospital as a nurse. There is more
education and character making in that
than in a whole bucketful of algebra.
". . . But I am not here trying to elab­orate
a whole curriculum. I am only try­ing
to indicate that higher education for
the man is one thing, for the woman an­other.
Nor do I deny the fact that women
have got to earn their living. Their higher
education must enable them to do that.
That cannot all marry on their graduation
day."
Mr. Leacock's writing is right up my
alley, so to speak. Reread where he says:
"There is no use pretending about it. It
WITHOUT THE PALE
Chapel Hill, N. C—The students at the
Tarheel University have stiffened their
necks more and more against the opposi­tion
stirred up by the Tatum affair. The
latest outcry of the undergraduates appears
in the Daily Tarheel:
WE DREDGE OUR OWN CHANNEL
Interest in the Tatum petition has- spread
like wild fire through American universi­ties
and circles of conservative capitalists.
Problematical questioning has extended far
beyond the realm 'of North Carolina to be­come
one of the most discussed items of
our present educational system.
Worried conservatives are trying to
fathom the principles upheld by young
America. Opinion rests with liberalism as
a rapid development predominating our
schools." The cause itself presents suffici­ent
reason for disconcertion.
Is such liberalism taught to the youth in
our schools or is it a result of general ob­servation
and conclusions which every
normal minded student unknowingly makes?
Psychology tries to determine why humans
behave as they do through two methods:
observation and introspection. Our chan­nel
for determination must be introspec­tion.
Are not the shortcomings of the present
system enough to evoke askance for a
change? Does the youth of today need be
taught by a college that all is not right in
the world? One has only to look about for
evidence of unbalance.
Youth brought up under the influence of
such conditions does not have to be taught
liberalism. It is only human nature to
seek the necessities of life with ordinary
comfort. Progress is made by trial and
error. Is it not preferable that our univer­sities
pesent to their students all aspects of
proposed measures or would the conserva­tive
group prefer that they be kept in ig­norance
as to the truth and draw their own
conclusions, however radical that they may
be?—F. A. N.
Chicago, 111.—Closed for seventeen years,
the Whal-Henius Institute of Fermentation
re-opened for its first term since 1915 with
fifteen students enrolled. President Max
Henius of the Chicago "beer college" in an
opening address to the students said:
"What has the future in store for us?
The revival of the brewing industry of the
United States." The curriculum of the
school includes courses in chemistry, bac­teriology,

Donald Strong, junior at Oberlin, paid the

the girls to dine and dance. In riding their
bicycles to the game the co-eds covered
thirty-five miles which included two trips
around the public square, a part of their
bet.

ASPORTS writer for the Associated
Press referred recently to Auburn
as a "rank outsider" in a story
about the struggle for highest football hon­ors
in the South this year.
The Auburn Tigers "rank" up at the top
but not as "outsiders." Football history re­veals
that over a long period Auburn has
stood among the Mighty; and that many of
the gridiron giants of the past have found
their Waterloos on the • Village of the
Plains. Teams have arisen to heights to be
humbled by Auburn.
* * * *
Dr. L. N. Duncan, who represented Au­burn
in the legislature during the entire
special session, has received much praise
and many compliments for the services he
rendered. It was the most difficult and
the most trying legislative experience for
him. He had been through many but ad­mits
that this exceeded any other in many
ways because of complications, requests, de­pression
and clash of forces.
Those who have studied the results and
considered them in the light of the circum­stances
have concluded that Auburn came
through with as much as could be expected.
The reduction is, of course, regretted but
it was unavoidable. Leaders in education
had agreed to it and requested it by endors­ing
an appropriations bill providing for this
reduction.

Colleges these days have a lot of organi­zations.
Most of them are good but some
are not. New students occasionally become
victims of unscrupulous and predatory in­dividuals
operating in the name of an orga­nization.
To avoid being victimized a student
should know what he is joining. Those or­ganizations
shrouded in mystery should be
avoided. If it is not possible to know the
organization' itself it certainly is possible to
know a few of the members; and by the
members an organization is known.

The approach of another Armistice Day
focuses attention upon the part Auburn had
in the World War. An official report shows
that 1004 Auburn men were in military"
service. Of these, 590 were enlisted men
and 414 were officers. Eight hundred and
may sound an awful thing to say, but the
women are going to be married. That is,
and always has been, their career; and
what is more, they know it."
I know someone who will be angry, quite
angry, on reading this one fact. Yeah,
they know it; that's why they use powder,
lipstick and silk.
sixty-nine were in the""Army, 70 in the
Navy and 65 in the Marine corpsv
Officers (369) consisted of 2 major gen­erals,
1 brigadier general, 5 colonels, 6 lieu­tenant
colonels, 15 majors, 75 captains, 90
first lieutenants, and 175 second lieuten­ants.
The records show also that 29 Auburn
men made the supreme sacrifice during this
terrible struggle. They gave their lives
for their country and for the principle for
which they fought.
It is most appropriate that Auburn
should pause annually on November" 11 in
memory and in honor of the dead and the
living; also the victory and its achievements
for humanity.

A straw vote as to presidential prefer­ences
reveals that Norman Thomas, social­ist,
has many friends in college circles. In
the latest count he was running ahead of
Roosevelt but not ahead of Hoover. This
fact creates interest and arouses curiosity.
Does it have a definite significance?

Agriculture is being called upon to ab­sorb
the unemployed. For many it is a
case of "going back to the farm." For
others it is a case of going to the farm with
a view to returning to the cities later if
an opportunity is presented.
The back-to-the-farm movement is not
confined to any one group. A Jewish rabbi,
for example, stated recently that there are
two million Jews in the New York area
(about as many people as are in Alabama)
who will be forced to leave, and that many
of these will find opportunity on the soil.
This is very interesting and exceedingly
significant, especially in Auburn where the
state college of agriculture for Alabama is
located. Students in agriculture must con­sider
it for it is already a factor in agri­culture.

Seldom in history have communities at­tained
the commercial eminence enjoyed by
the--Italian cities of the Renaissance. The
names of their merchant princes were names
to conjure with, and more than one was ac­corded
the title of "Magnificent." But who
can name them now? Only a few are re­membered-—
those few who befriended a
Michelangelo, a Cellini or a Titian—who
provided the marble, the bronze or even the
sustenance without which these artists'
works would have been impossible.
The above is reproduced without quota­tions.
It was printed under the caption
"Grist for Genius." Here in Auburn we
are pressing forward with a program of
educational work which is building upon
the ideals herein stated. Such work is cer­tain
to bear fruit in the form of richer and
more abundant living rather than greater
material wealth alone.

IT SEEMS that the underclasses have
yet to learn the meaning of congruity
in thought and act. In the class meet­ings
held yesterday in Langdon Hall, one
member of the gathering contended that
the students in college were old enough to
conduct themselves in a more restrained
manner on the proposed special train than
they evidenced three years ago when a plan.
of a like nature was carried through.
The same students who he contended were
old enough to conduct themselves like in­telligent
men, were booing each opponent of
the proposal as he arose to speak. Such a
devasting argument of course carried little
weight, as the senior class, the only body to
seriously consider the arguments of the
opposing forces of the plan, voted the plan
down by well over a 2 to 1 majority.
* * * *
A news story on the front pages of The •
Plainsman, carries the proposed plan made
by a*n Auburn student. There can be no
doubt that such a movement would be a
credit to the institution" if begun at an
earlier date and financed by some funds
other than those of the students. Under
the proposed plan, the senior class was to
contribute to the expenses of the trip, ap­proximately
one-third of the total cost,
while the freshmen were to add their share
which would place the class in debt at the
end of the term. The athletic department,
already heavily involved from years past
in financial difficulties, was to be the do-nator
of nearly one thousand dollars.
* * * *
/ In the fall of 1929, the unit was taken
to Montgomery by the Military Department
on a special train. A parade was held and
the unit assembled at Cramton Bowl for
the Auburn-Florida game. The Florida
team won by three touchdowns and the
supporters of Auburn returned on the
special train, damaging it to the extent of
nearly one thousand dollars. The bill was
paid the railway by assessments from the
student contingent fee. A shadowy reputa­tion
was further darkened.
* * m *
If properly planned and handled the plan
could be made a success. Without carefully
laid plans and close vigilance by strong-armed
"nurses," the same sophomoric tend­encies
of 1929 would undoubtably become
evident once again.
* * * *
The mass action and spirit shown by the
junior, sophomore and freshmen classes,
still further proved that the average stu­dent
should not be allowed a voice in any
matter which concerns the welfare of the
student body and reputation of the school.
Both have suffered enough from past per­formances.
When they have learned that
there is more than one side to every ques­tion,
then allow them to voice their convic­tions.
That which they term convictions as
displayed at mass gatherings could hardly
be labeled with such a complimentary tone
at the present.

I t haunted clerks
for generations
"The first of the month" used to be a time of
feverish activity for ledger clerks. But the Bell
System accounting staff — breaking away from
tradition — simplified the keeping of accounts and
rendering of monthly statements to customers.
They applied a modern system of rotation bill-
/ ing to the telephone business which now spreads
this work evenly throughout the month. In co­operation
with manufacturers, they devised special
typewriters and bookkeeping machines. Thus
they did away with inefficient rush and achieved
greater accuracy, speed and neatness.
This is but one example of a point of view found
throughout the Bell System. Even long accepted
routine is constantly studied —it's always worth '
looking for the more efficient way!
BELL SYSTEM
Senn's Touchdown
Declared Illegal
If the officials in the Auburn
Howard game had not made what
could have easily been a costly mis­take,
Shot Senn, a Troy boy who is
one of the Tigers great ends, would
have entered the promised land
against the Bulldogs for the first time
in his college career. Senn scored a
legal touchdown against Howard that
was disallowed by the arbiters.
The play -happened as follows: Irv­ing
Levi, Auburn guard, broke
through and pushed a Howard play­er
into Moore, Howard quarterback,
who was attempting to punt, and the
p.unt was blocked approximately eight
yards behind the line of scrimmage.
While the ball was travelling toward
Howard's, goal line, Senn came in
fast from 'Auburn's right end and
grabbed the ball about 12 yards be­hind
the line of scrimmage and ran
for a touchdown. On the play, the
only part of Senn's body that touch­ed
the ground was his feet as the
ball bounced up as high as his waist
when he retrieved it and started for
glory, and the ball never passed the
line of scrimmage. The officials
ruled the ball dead where Senn re­covered
it.
The rule that covers the play, is: A
ball kicked from scrimmage, which
for any reason does not cross the line
of scrimmage, may be touched or re­covered
by any player. If recovered
by the kicking team, it is dead at the
point of recovery and counts a down.
If recovered by the opponents, it may
be advanced.
J. H. Williams Leads
Freshmen in English
In a standardized English test
which sought to measure the literary
background and expertness in gram­mar
given freshmen at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, the highest
score was made by J. H. Williams
who prepared for college at the
Shanghai (China) American School.
William's is 17 years old and has
registered in the electrical engineer­ing
course. He previously scored
fourth in the general psychological
test which was also given members
of the freshman class.
Other freshmen who scored among
the ten highest in the class and the
schools in which they received their
preparatory training are J. E. Vance,
Gulf Coast Military Academy, Gulf-port,
Miss.; J. M. Morton, Lanier

Students were asked to supply the
most appropriate words to complete
a series of sentences. Another sec­tion
set up an artificial language in
which nonsense syllables were substi­tuted
for certain words and various
arbitrary rules of grammar were
made. Students were asked to check
the translation of English into the
artificial language. The student's
ability to detect the relationships be­tween
intricate drawings or figures
constituted another section of the
test. A section on arithmetic and
one which tested the student's ability
to recognize opposite or analogous
meaning of words constituted the re­mainder
of the psychological exami­nation.
McGehee Speaks
To Kiwanians At
Luncheon Monday
Dr. Bruce McGehee, pastor of the
Auburn Methodist Church, was the
speaker at the Auburn Kiwanis club
Monday. Dr. McGehee discussed pub­lic
problems confronting the people
of'Alabama and of other nations, and
at the conclusion of his talk paid a
high tribute to Dr. L. N. Duncan on
the splendid work he did as the legis­lative
representative of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute during the re­cent
session of the Alabama Legisla­ture.
He said that Dr. Duncan was
an outstanding influence in Montgom­ery
not only for Auburn but for* oth­er
education in Alabama.
Dr. J. V. Brown moved immediate­ly
following Dr. McGehee's talk that
the club give to Dr. Duncan a vote of
thanks and appreciation for the work
he did under exceedingly difficult and
trying conditions. The vote was ex­tended
by rising, amidst applause.
Dr. Duncan was present, having re­ported
briefly the actions of the Leg­islature
as they applied to Auburn.
He read a list of the appropriations
made and reported also that another
bill provided for payment of $250,000
to Auburn for buildings already erec­ted
on the campus but no warrant
for payment has been received from
the State for them.

No raw tobaccos in Luckies
—that's why they're so mild
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.
It's toasted
