POLO GAME SCHEDULED Dr. Oliver Issues Call to Legionnaires in Surrounding Districts 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- Armistice Speaker JUDGE W. H. SAMFORD W.AA. CONVENES ON MONDAY AFTERNOON Association Organized to Regulate Women's Athletic Activi t i e s ; Works on Pojnt System MONTGOMERY TRIP QUASHED; SENIORS OPPOSE MOVE 3-1 Senior's Plan Under by 3 to 1 Vote as Other Classes Voice Heated Support RESULT TENTATIVE Plan to Derive Expense from Unbalanced Tax on Class Treasuries 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 (Continued on page 4) 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 SCHOOL CUT THIRTY PERCENT BY SOLONS Combination of Senate Bill and Goode Bill Passes as Special Session Closes MILLER SIGNS BILL 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 - 5,250.00 Extension Service 113,750.00 Research in Agriculture. 18,900.00 Fertilizer Fund - 60,900.00 Sub-stations - 43,750.00 Trust Fund 248,749.05 Interest on Endowment. 20,280.00 All Nine Amendments to State Constitution Are Voted Down BLACK RE-ELECTED Income Tax Leads Bond Issue; Towns and Cities Swell Opposition Vote to Two Major Amendments VOTE IS DECISIVE Black Defeats Johnson, Republican Candidate, in Senatorial Race by Overwhelming Majority 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 Voters Support Democratic Candidate; Eight Amendments Pass The City of Auburn followed the general trend of the Democratic landslide by tabulating 453 votes for Roosevelt, according to reports from the two voting posts in the city. Republican, Socialist and Communist candidates also received &„ scattered vote in the election. All proposed constitutional amendments with the exception of proposed amendment Number Two, were passed with wide margins. The widest margins were tabulated for proposed amendments Numbers One, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine. The followinar tabulation (Continued on page 4) Democrats A c h i e ve Greatest Total Plurality in History of Party FARLEY JUBILANT Miss Johnson Be Unable to Speak Mrs. Marietta Johnson, founder and director of the School of Organic Education at Fairhope, will be unable to lecture, as previously announced, to Parent-Teachers' Association on Friday, November 11.

Although a definite date has not yet been decided upon, it is believed that the affair will come some time in the early part of December. All "Rats" are required to enter this three mile race which is run over a course leading through the streets of the city. The winner is awarded his class numerals as well as a huge cake, appropriately decorated. To the next twenty-four contestants to finish, cakes are also presented. A special inducement is offered fraternity pledges since the fraternity having the first five men to finish is awarded a silver loving cup by the Interfraternity Council. Potential track ability comes to light as a result of this meet, and 'Coach Hutsell's cinder team is often greatly benefitted by the material which is uncovered. A large number I of "Rats" are already practicing daily for the event and competition should reach its usual high pitch when the starting gun is fired. 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 (Continued on page 4) With a mounting majority in electoral votes and a unprecedented sweep in plurality votes, the Democratic candidates were conceded victory5 fey HcrbcpfrHVtrr^r-whwt ti^- O'ftct 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. Senator Reed Smoot, joint author of famed tariff bill, was trailing his Democratic opponent in returns from Utah. William G.

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. Thunderations By Gum EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * » 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, yeast culture and refrigeration. * si* * * Cleveland, Ohio.—In order to win a bet with two men students, two co-eds • of Oberlin college rode bicycles to Cleveland to root for their team at a football game. Donald Strong, junior at Oberlin, paid the debt following the football game by taking 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. * * * * Worcester, Mass.—The class of 1935 at Worcester Tech, won the annual rope pull with the freshmen class of 1936, bathing the latter in the cold waters of the pond, over which the pull was held. An overtime period was necessary before the sophomore class was successful in wetting the freshmen. * * * * Upland, Ind.—W,ith 150 chickens working overtime for her, Martha Smith, co-ed at Taylor University is paying her expenses through school. By using electric lights and alarm clocks to awaken the chickens two hours before daylight, Miss Smith is attempting to speed up production. From casual observation it would seem that the ambitious co-ed was defeating her purpose although she declares that the plan is work-i ing satisfactorily so far. * * * * Atlanta, Ga.—1,300 students endorsed a petition at Georgia Tech giving them an increased class cut minimum.

The Auburn Tigers "rank" up at the top but not as "outsiders."

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. ij! * # * 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. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * 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. * * * * The editor says that we are to see a Democratic president on the throne when 'the paper goes to press . . . perhaps they will be willing to try a member of the Socialist ticket . . . perhaps your grandchildren will . . . they say that the youth of today is taking an intelligent interest in governmental affairs . . . from prolonged and continued casual observation I believe that no one has ever struck a dignified pose in a barber's chair . . . perhaps it is due to the general feeling that the barber might lose his mind while applying the razor . . . the Observer makes his only prediction of the year . . . a defeat of the bond-issue and income tax, and another legislative circus to save the schools of Alabama . . . . what a time they must have down there . . . they must have steam heat and cushioned seats in the rooms of the legislature. * * * * One of our ever reliable sources of editorial copy has said that all past panics in the country have been solved by immigration to the west . . . he advocates a plan of successful immigration to Alaska . . . not such a foolish idea as one might think . . . there is gold in them hills . . . and after all that is what you want isn't it? . . . the acme of comfort is red leather furniture . . . a subdued red . -. . if you have come this far, then condolence . . . and another.

Miss' Gardiner is taking the general course. Second highest score was made by W. T. Wingo of Birmingham, a 16- year-old Phillips High School graduate, who is studying the course in chemical engineering. Wingo scored 271. Others in the class among the ten highest scorers and the schools where they prepared fb~r Auburn are J. E. Vance, Gulf Coast Military Academy, Gulf port, Miss.; J. H.

TIGER THEATRE Show Place of East Alabama - Auburn, Alabama 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 High/ Montgomery; Annie Ruth Jones, Phillips High, Birmingham; J. F. McLaughlin, Collingswood (N. J.) High; S. H. Wall, Butler County High; W. C. Thomas, Tuskegee High; W. G. Emrey, Albany High; H. A. Freeman, Phillips High, Birmingham; and H. H. Hurd, Bessemer High. Candidates For Rifle Team to Meet Tuesday There will be a meeting of all candidates for the Auburn Rifle Team, Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 p. m., in the engineer's room. All letter nen and 'men desiring to try out this ;year are urged to be present as practice is to start very soon and hours available to members must be scheduled. Some eighty challenges have been issued to other colleges all over the country and it is expected that they will all be accepted. With the return of eight letterrnen and losing, but two members from last year's squad, an even better showing is expected for this season than the excellent record of last year. Expert coaching has been secured in the forms of Lieutenant Bowman and Sergeant Reeves. A NATION-WIDE SYSTEM OF INTER-CONNECTING TELEPHONES High, Mobile; H. N. White, Samson High"; and N. G. Bradford, Phillips High, Birmingham. 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. The soloist for the meeting was Miss Lois Walker who is popular with Southern California Frosh to Obey Rules From the Southern California Trojan.— Southern California traditions will be strictly enforced.' The three campus student government organizations, the Trojan Knights, Squires, and Amazons are planning a concentrated drive to see that all freshmen members of the club, she having sung for several meetings in the past. and new students observe both the campus rules and the school traditions.

Auburn had several chances to score in the final quarter, but the Bulldog line rose to the occasion and stopped the Tiger drives each time. Coach Wynne used his second team as much as possible in order to give his reserves a chance to display their ability under fire and to save the regulars for their hard battle this Saturday with Coach Charlie Bachman's Florida 'Gators. Rogers, Kimbrell, Talley, Dupree, and Henderson assisted Hitchcock in performing the ball carrying chores. Parker ran the team well and did some neat blocking.

POLO GAME SCHEDULED Dr. Oliver Issues Call to Legionnaires in Surrounding Districts 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- Armistice Speaker JUDGE W. H. SAMFORD W.AA.

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 (Continued on page 4) 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 SCHOOL CUT THIRTY PERCENT BY SOLONS Combination of Senate Bill and Goode Bill Passes as Special Session Closes MILLER SIGNS BILL 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 - 5,250.00 Extension Service 113,750.00 Research in Agriculture. 18,900.00 Fertilizer Fund - 60,900.00 Sub-stations - 43,750.00 Trust Fund 248,749.05 Interest on Endowment. 20,280.00 All Nine Amendments to State Constitution Are Voted Down BLACK RE-ELECTED Income Tax Leads Bond Issue; Towns and Cities Swell Opposition Vote to Two Major Amendments VOTE IS DECISIVE Black Defeats Johnson, Republican Candidate, in Senatorial Race by Overwhelming Majority 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 Voters Support Democratic Candidate; Eight Amendments Pass The City of Auburn followed the general trend of the Democratic landslide by tabulating 453 votes for Roosevelt, according to reports from the two voting posts in the city. Republican, Socialist and Communist candidates also received &„ scattered vote in the election. All proposed constitutional amendments with the exception of proposed amendment Number Two, were passed with wide margins. The widest margins were tabulated for proposed amendments Numbers One, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine.

Although a definite date has not yet been decided upon, it is believed that the affair will come some time in the early part of December. All "Rats" are required to enter this three mile race which is run over a course leading through the streets of the city. The winner is awarded his class numerals as well as a huge cake, appropriately decorated. To the next twenty-four contestants to finish, cakes are also presented. A special inducement is offered fraternity pledges since the fraternity having the first five men to finish is awarded a silver loving cup by the Interfraternity Council. Potential track ability comes to light as a result of this meet, and 'Coach Hutsell's cinder team is often greatly benefitted by the material which is uncovered. A large number I of "Rats" are already practicing daily for the event and competition should reach its usual high pitch when the starting gun is fired. 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 (Continued on page 4) With a mounting majority in electoral votes and a unprecedented sweep in plurality votes, the Democratic candidates were conceded victory5 fey HcrbcpfrHVtrr^r-whwt ti^- O'ftct 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. Thunderations By Gum EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * » 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, yeast culture and refrigeration. * si* * * Cleveland, Ohio.—In order to win a bet with two men students, two co-eds • of Oberlin college rode bicycles to Cleveland to root for their team at a football game. Donald Strong, junior at Oberlin, paid the debt following the football game by taking 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. * * * * Worcester, Mass.—The class of 1935 at Worcester Tech, won the annual rope pull with the freshmen class of 1936, bathing the latter in the cold waters of the pond, over which the pull was held. An overtime period was necessary before the sophomore class was successful in wetting the freshmen. * * * * Upland, Ind.—W,ith 150 chickens working overtime for her, Martha Smith, co-ed at Taylor University is paying her expenses through school. By using electric lights and alarm clocks to awaken the chickens two hours before daylight, Miss Smith is attempting to speed up production. From casual observation it would seem that the ambitious co-ed was defeating her purpose although she declares that the plan is work-i ing satisfactorily so far. * * * * Atlanta, Ga.—1,300 students endorsed a petition at Georgia Tech giving them an increased class cut minimum. INVICTUS By Casual Observer ACROSS THE CAMPUS By P. 0. Davis EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * 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. ij! * # * 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.

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. * * * * The editor says that we are to see a Democratic president on the throne when 'the paper goes to press . . . perhaps they will be willing to try a member of the Socialist ticket . . . perhaps your grandchildren will . . . they say that the youth of today is taking an intelligent interest in governmental affairs . . . from prolonged and continued casual observation I believe that no one has ever struck a dignified pose in a barber's chair . . . perhaps it is due to the general feeling that the barber might lose his mind while applying the razor . . . the Observer makes his only prediction of the year . . . a defeat of the bond-issue and income tax, and another legislative circus to save the schools of Alabama . . . . what a time they must have down there . . . they must have steam heat and cushioned seats in the rooms of the legislature. * * * * One of our ever reliable sources of editorial copy has said that all past panics in the country have been solved by immigration to the west . . . he advocates a plan of successful immigration to Alaska . . . not such a foolish idea as one might think . . . there is gold in them hills . . . and after all that is what you want isn't it? . . . the acme of comfort is red leather furniture . . . a subdued red . -. . if you have come this far, then condolence . . . and another.

Miss' Gardiner is taking the general course. Second highest score was made by W. T. Wingo of Birmingham, a 16- year-old Phillips High School graduate, who is studying the course in chemical engineering. Wingo scored 271.

TIGER THEATRE Show Place of East Alabama - Auburn, Alabama 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 High/ Montgomery; Annie Ruth Jones, Phillips High, Birmingham; J. F. McLaughlin, Collingswood (N. J.) High; S. H. Wall, Butler County High; W. C. Thomas, Tuskegee High; W. G. Emrey, Albany High; H. A. Freeman, Phillips High, Birmingham; and H. H. Hurd, Bessemer High. Candidates For Rifle Team to Meet Tuesday There will be a meeting of all candidates for the Auburn Rifle Team, Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 p. m., in the engineer's room. All letter nen and 'men desiring to try out this ;year are urged to be present as practice is to start very soon and hours available to members must be scheduled. Some eighty challenges have been issued to other colleges all over the country and it is expected that they will all be accepted. With the return of eight letterrnen and losing, but two members from last year's squad, an even better showing is expected for this season than the excellent record of last year. Expert coaching has been secured in the forms of Lieutenant Bowman and Sergeant Reeves. A NATION-WIDE SYSTEM OF INTER-CONNECTING TELEPHONES High, Mobile; H. N. White, Samson High"; and N. G. Bradford, Phillips High, Birmingham. 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. The soloist for the meeting was Miss Lois Walker who is popular with Southern California Frosh to Obey Rules From the Southern California Trojan.— Southern California traditions will be strictly enforced.' The three campus student government organizations, the Trojan Knights, Squires, and Amazons are planning a concentrated drive to see that all freshmen members of the club, she having sung for several meetings in the past. and new students observe both the campus rules and the school traditions.

Dupree scored on an off-tackle play, but Senn's try for extra point was blocked. Auburn had several chances to score in the final quarter, but the Bulldog line rose to the occasion and stopped the Tiger drives each time. Coach Wynne used his second team as much as possible in order to give his reserves a chance to display their ability under fire and to save the regulars for their hard battle this Saturday with Coach Charlie Bachman's Florida 'Gators. Rogers, Kimbrell, Talley, Dupree, and Henderson assisted Hitchcock in performing the ball carrying chores. Parker ran the team well and did some neat blocking. In the line, the play of Jones, Mc- Collum, Ariail, Senn, Prim, and Pat-erson stood out.
