Davis To Be Present
Owen Is Vice-President, No
One Seeking Secretary Post,
Lehnert Is New Treasurer
Today Max Welden, of Wetumpka,
became president of the Student
Executive Cabinet for next year as no
other senior member of that group
turned in a petition to run against
him for that office.
There will be no election next Wed­nesday
as only three petitions for
the five offices were handed to Tom
Powell, elections chairman, by today
noon. No two petitions were for the
same position.
Jack Owen, of Centerville, was not
opposed for cabinet vice-president; no
petition was turned in for secretary
of this body, but either Ted Chiles or
Marshall Smith, sophomore members
next year, will take over this office.
George Lehnert, senior from Tus-cumbia,
was unopposed for treasurer.
These men will not take over their
respective duties until the beginning
of next year as has been the custom
in past years. Retiring officers are
Joe Sarver, president; Max Welden,
vice-president; secretary, Curtis Far­ley;
and Herman Laatsch, treasurer.
Work of the cabinet has been far-reaching
and effective this year. In­tramural
sports for independent men,
formation of an effective publications
board, support of several deserving
organizations including glee club and
debating society are among the ac­complishments
of this body.
B. S. U. Plans Music
As Part Of Program
The Baptist Student Union is striv­ing
to make their Life Conference
meetings—which are to be lead by
Chester Swor—more interesting by
presenting some special musical num­bers
on the program Sunday.
Chester Swor, one of the outstand­ing
youth leaders of the South, is
coming to Auburn next Sunday, Mon­day,
Tuesday, and Wednesday to hold
a series of meetings. He will speak
at a short noon-day meeting at 12:40
in Langdon Hall, a student forum will
be held in the Recreation Hall at 4:30,
and at 7:30 in the Baptist Church
auditorium. Mr. Swor is on leave of
absence from Mississippi College
where he is an English professor.
Special musical numbers that will
be on the program Sunday are: solo,
Burton Brooks; male chorus, xylo­phone
solo, Hilding Holmberg; stu­dent
chorus, and solo, Gordon Hub­bard.
Mr. Swor has voiced his desire to
have his vacant time taken up with
personal conferences. Anyone who
wishes to arrange a time to talk with
Mr. Swor may do so by calling Davis
Woolley at the Baptist Church.
"Engineer" Copies
Sent To Library
William Benjamin West, former Au­burn
student Who assisted in the li­brary
while attending school, has sent
six copies of "Engineering", a British
magazine, to the library which contain
articles written by himself. Mr. West,
who is editorial representative for
"Engineering" in New York, is an out­standing
man in his field.
Mr. West sent four February, 1937,
issues of "Engineering", three of
which he has contributed to. His con­tributions
are: "Jay Mining Drilling
Machinery", "Electric P l a t f o rm
Truck"; "New York Power Show".
"Engineering" also has a series of
articles beginning March 5, 1937, writ­ten
by Mr. West on "Bank Protection
on the Mississippi River". Engineer­ing
students and others will be in­terested
in reading these issues of
"Engineering".
Mr. West was freshman in Auburn
in 1915. He joined the army during
the war and received a wound which
injured his leg.
The annual Ag Club banquet and
dance tomorrow night is expected to
attract the largest number of stu­dents,
professors, alumni, and other
visitors ever to attend one of these
functions in Auburn, according to B.
E. Cowart, Ag. Club President.
At 6:30 P. M. the banquet will be­gin
in the banquet nail of the Baptist
Church, with Prof. J. M. Robinson,
Head of the Department of Zoology
and Entomology, serving as toast
master.
R. J. Goode, of Gastonburg, State
Commissioner of Agriculture and In­dustries,
is the featured speaker on
the banquet program. Mr. Goode is
a graduate of Marion Institute and
the University of Pennsylvania, and
beginning in 1915, served for twenty
years as a member of the Alabama
Legislature. During his term in of­fice,
he was the instigator of several
important bills to establish experiment
stations throughout the state. In 1935,
Mr. Goode was elected without opposi­tion
to the position he now holds.
Duncan Will Attend

Risher, Hamil
Given Bid To
Decorate Hall
"Spring" Theme Selected For
Decorations; Price Paid For
Bid Higher Than Ever Before
The contract for decorating the
WPA Hall for the Senior Dances has
been awarded to Chris Risher and
Phil Hamil, it was announced to­day
by Vernon Merritt, chairman of
the Social Committee. All plans for
the dances at which George Olsen and
his orchestra will play are progress­ing
rapidly. Acceptance cards are be­ginning
to come in.
In view of the fact that the dances
are to be held in a new hall, the de­corations
will vary from the conven­tional
manner of treatment. The gen­eral
theme of the outlay will be
"Spring" and the main context of the
decorations will be flowers and vines.
Risher and Hamil, students in
Architecture, plan to construct an
elaborate lattice-work throughout the
hall and hang the vines and flowers
on it. The contract was let at a price
higher than ever before.
Grand March Saturday
Senior Grand March scheduled
originally for the Friday night dance
has been changed to Saturday night
by the committee. The Friday after­noon
dance has been purchased by the
Interfraternity Council for the benefit
of the old and retiring members. The
Friday night and Saturday morning
dances are not yet taken, while the
Saturday afternoon dance is sponsored
by the Buccaneers, a freshman so­ciety.
The Social Committee will
have a banquet for the members Sat­urday
night before the dance, with
Bill Lee in charge of all arrange­ments.
Eor the convenience of the persons
attending the dances, the Social Com­mittee
plans to provide a station
wagon making trips every fifteen
minutes for the transportation of at­tendants
at the dances. It was in
view of the fact that the hall is some­what
removed from the center of town
that the committee decided to provide
the free transportation from town to
the hall.
Due to the success of the new rules
governing girls attending the dances,
the Dean of Women and the commits
tee have decided to use the same rules
for the finals. The rules were passed
this year as a part of several major
changes that have been made.

Brown Heads Southern
Schools' News Writers
Kirtley Brown, Auburn's publica­tions
editor, was elected director of
the Southeastern district of the Ameri­can
College Publicity Association at
a conference held in Milledgeville, Ga.,
last Friday and Saturday. Mr. Brown
spoke at the meeting on "Mats, Photos,
and Mimeographed stories."
The association is made up of 125
college publicity men and women from
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South
Carolina, and Florida.
Mr. Brown, now head of the group,
is a graduate of the Baylor University
of Texas and has been with this school
since 1927 doing publicity and edi­torial
work.
George Hairston, of Birmingham,
was elected president of the Interfra­ternity
Council for next year at the
annual banquet held by this organiza­tion
last night. Hairston succeeds
Hamilton Callen, of Geneva.
At this time John Pollard, of Selma,
was chosen vice-president for next
year to succeed Bob Creel and Dave
Hamilton, of Tuscumbia, was named
secretary-treasurer succeeding Paul
Talmadge.
These men, elected by secret ballot
by the present members of the council,
are to take their positions immediately
and serve out the remainder of this
year. Barring a special meeting there
will be only one more session, that be­ing
held on the first Monday in May.
Hairston, besides holding this posi­tion,
is very active in several campus
activities being president of the Glee
Club, president of the Debating So­ciety,
a member of Tau Kappa Alpha,
honor debate fraternity, and Scabbard
and Blade. He has been serving as a
council member for two years and is
president of his social fraternity, Del­ta
Sigma Phi. Hairston is a junior in
Science and Literature.
Pollard was recently elected to
Scabbard and Blade and is president
of Kappa Alpha social fraternity. He
is a junior in the School of Engineer­ing.
Hamilton has been an active mem­ber
of the council for two years, is
president of Alpha Tau Omega social
fraternity, and is a junior in pre-medicine.
During the banquet J. M. Robinson,
faculty adviser for this organization,
and R. M. Des Islets made short talks
when called on by Callen, who served
as toastmaster. Other speeches were
made by retiring council members.
Work of the council has been un­usually
progressive and constructive
under the capable direction of Callen
during this school year. Deferred
pledging was worked on, fraternity
sport programs were carried on with
a minimum of friction, the annual In­terfraternity
Council Ball proved to
be unusually successful, and many fra­ternity
problems on the campus were
solved.

Wednesday afternoon the Alpha
Gamma Rho team was victor over the
S. A. E. sluggers in a 10 to 7 decis­ion.
S. P. E. gave the Phi Kappa
Tau aggregation a licking 17 to 10.
Yesterday the Alpha Gamma Rho's
made it two in a row by defeating
the Sigma Chi team 15 to 9. The
Phi Kappa Phi nine took the S. A.
E.'s in a close one by a score of 5 to
4.
According to reports the Pi
Kappa Phi team is fast becoming
one of the threats of their league.
They have won three games in as
many starts, having downed the Phi
Kappa Tau, Theta Kappa Nu, and the
S. A. E.'s in their latest winning
streak.
Since there has been no report
from the top ranking teams in the
Inter-fraternity baseball race, it is
impossible to give a statement con­cerning
the relative positions of the
teams.

In keeping with the spirit of the
Emergency Peace Campaign's new
No-Foreign-War Crusade, three mem­bers
of the European group of the
International Relations Club last night
presented a program dealing with
some of the basic aspects of the pres­ent
movement for world peace.
"The past two years have seen the
rearming programs of sixty nations
increased to twice or three times their
former proportions", said Joe D.
Turner, speaking on the "Dangers of
the Present Situation". "The world
is waiting for the murder of another
archduke at Sarajevo or the sinking
of another Lusitania to precipitate
another world war."
Miss Metzger Speaks
Turner was followed by Miss Joan
Metzger, who talked on "Youth At­titudes
for Peace". "The next war",
she said, "will not be fought on the
battlefield. There will be no "Over
There"—no Western Front. Improv­ed
aircraft will bring the war right
into our homes." Miss Metzger listed
some of the ways in which college stu­dents
can aid the movement for peace.
"There are four ways in which any
student may assist with the work for
peace", she said. They are, first, to
study, applying the principles learned
in history and political science
courses; second, to read, preferably
the New York Times; third, to talk
about the movement to friends and
relatives; and fourth, to write con­gressmen,
urging them to vote for
adequate peace legislation."
Last speaker on the program was
J. H. Wheeler, Chairman of the
European Group, who spoke on "The
Emergency Peace Campaign and Its
Six Point Platform". "The Emergen­cy
Peace Campaign is the youngest,
most aggressive, and probably the
most effective of the 37 major peace
organizations in the United States",
he said. "Together with the other
peace groups, the Campaign supports
the Six-Point program first formu­lated
by the National Council for the
Prevention of War. These six points
are: Adequate national defense from
invasion; establishment of reciprocal
trade treaties to remove world eco­nomic
tensions; more effective means
of peaceful international cooperation;
nationalization of the munitions in­dustry
and taxing the profits out of
war; a new and more adequate neu­trality
law; and the maintenance of
freedom of speech and of the press'r.

A Romantic Desire
There must be something to this
newspaper work after all. A recent
poll of New York City school children
revealed that more of them wanted to
go into journalism than into any
other profession, occupation, or busi­ness.
Seniors graduating in Alabama
high schools this year voted news­paper
work as one of the five most
popular vocations.
There are probably many revealing
and interesting reasons for such popu­larity
in this field.
Newspaper work appeals highly to
the imagination, in fact, great imagi­nation
is required for any amount of
journalistic success. Students of high
school age are looking for something
daring, bold, alive. They have read of
Dillinger, of floods, of great fires, of
many other things which stir the
country. These would-be journalists
see the excitement of being at these
scenes and of being the first to give it
to the populace.
Journalism usually calls for a great
deal of traveling and being on one's
own. This, naturally, suits youngsters
who have never had much chance for
free-lancing.
Everyone likes to see his accom­plishments
and there's no better proof
of these accomplishments than to see
them in black and white. Each future
newspaperman visualizes streamers
topping his stories and the whole
country rushing to read what he has
written. It is there on paper. He has
done something.
Little do these youngsters really
know of newspaper work. Although
our knowledge is very limited, we do
have proof that the pay is very small
on an average, that only one man in
a thousand makes a success in jour­nalism,
and that the work is hard
with long hours.
Of course, these students, at six­teen
to eighteen, voting to be journal­ists
now is somewhat like voting to
be firemen or policemen at the age of
eight. It is that these boys are at
that stage of their development when
the aspects of journalism seem to
them to satisfy their wants, ambi­tions,
and day-dreamings.
Regional Problems
Someday a river sweeping far be­yond
its bounds may hasten the day
of the "more perfect union" among
the states.
Representatives of 48 states pon­dered
this earlier this year as they re­turned
to their capitols from the
Third Assembly of the Council of
State Governments in Washington.
This group had met to make plans for
cooperation between the states and
the federal government on matters
which overflow into two or more
jurisdictions.
But the members knew that for
them to agree was not all that was
necessary. There remained the hard­er
task of winning support for their
proposals from the legislatures and
the people.
Before the week's meeting was
over, however, the Ohio River made a
practical demonstration of points
which they were attempting to stress:
That there are problems which do not
respect state lines and that these
problems can be adequately met only
by the states working with one an­other
and with the federal govern­ment.
Problems included in this class are
flood control, crime, social security,
taxation, and agriculture. We can no
longer assume that all issues affect
either a single state or all the states.
Some affect a group of states, a
region. These problems are too big
for one state, but not big enough for
the nation as a whole.
Such problems would belong to
regional government, if we had such
a thing. The Assembly is a step in
this direction. There has been too
much piling-up of legislature and ad­ministrative
functions in Washington.
Some day we may see a United
States composed of ten or twelve
regional governments, in addition to
the present states possessing most of
their present powers.
You Got It Wrong
Amiable Johnny Godbold, talented
writer of "On Other Campuses",
takes a dig at the editor in verse. He
is a bit mixed up so we'll set him
right!
Johnny, you say to The Plainsman
comes all fame,
To the hard-working staff goes all
blame,
And to the editor goes all the money.
Listen, while I tell you you're all
wrong, sonny:
For fifty-four issues The Plainsman
has strived,
And yet on fame it has yet to arrive,
And as to who gets the blame for all
the news,
I wish sometimes you were in my
shoes.
But as to money, I can't holler,
They pay me well, fifty-and-one-dollar.
Now, Johnny, you surely have gone
amiss,
You should have written something
like this:
Our paper, I think, will never have
fame,
The editor is the one we'll have to
blame,
For while we do all the. work he
should do,
He's counting away his graft in an
old shoe.
Do We Study?
Studying is defined as "the appli­cation
of the mind to acquisition of
knowledge." Too often this term
means, instead, the memorizing of a
number of facts and principles for a
long enough time to take an examina­tion
on them and thereby pass a
course; the entire object has been
changed.
Study in this fashion is valueless.
A parrot could do the same thing. Of
course, it may even mean a "95" on
one's report card, but one has not
benefited in a single respect. No ideas
have been developed, one's thinking
power has not been aided a bit, and
only the objective of passing the
course has been accomplished. The
student conquers course after course
in the same fashion, and at the end
of four years is handed a diploma; he
is a college graduate. But what does
this mean? In a great'many cases it
means that a man has wasted time,
energy, and money gathering together
a mass of information, half-forgotten,
which can be of little aid to him. He
has not "applied his mind to the ac­quisition
of knowledge."
The difficulty of true study is am­plified
by the mass production method
of education. Facts, principles, and
formulae are poured into the student's
mind. Individual initiative and
thought are suppressed. But this is
the best system which has as yet been
devised. It is, therefore, the student's
responsibility to realize the real ob­ject
of a college education, to pull
himself out of the rut, and to proceed
in his college work so that this ob­jective
may be gained.
The grading system is also partly
responsible for this situation in our
schools. Too often grades only are
worked for, and this can be accom­plished
without real study.
We, however, have no quarrel with
the grading system. Rather, we are
attempting to make it clear that of­ten
they do not have any significance
in the light. of real knowledge ac­quired
and held.
If one studies a given situation un­til
he is quite sure that he under­stands
the principles involved; when
one understands the causes back of
any given phenomenon; when one can
trace clearly the relationship between
the steps in any given reasoning, and
finally, when one can express him­self
in precise mathematical termi­nology,
whenever such is possible,
then one has acquired knowledge.

THIS DRINKING QUESTION is still
having its difficulties. The Alabama Alco­holic
Beverage Committee selects sites for
liquor stores and the Municipalities Board
doesn't exactly approve of their selection.
They quibble here and there concerning the
matter, and no appreciable progress is made.
When the liquor bill was going through the
intricate processes of becoming a law, var­ious
and sundry provisions were included to
make it the air tight—to preserve the chasi-ty
of our budding youth and the irresponsi­ble
old and infirm. It was provided that the
Liquor Control Board be one of those sancti­fied
bodies who have the health and morals
of the people wholly at heart—not speaking
of the revenue that will be derived for the
extensive uses in expenditures of the state.
To say the least, the Board disqualified the
using the products of a couple or three dis­tilleries
because they paid no attention to
the questionnaire sent to them concerning
their products and their administration by
said well-meaning Board. It might be a
pregnant idea if this Board begin an in­vestigation
as to the quality of "chasers"
available.

Included in the matter of numbers and
figures: It is reported that 100,000,000
bushels of corn, barley, rye were used dur­ing
the last fiscal year for the concoction of
whiskey, beer, and such beverages. This is
a 15 million bushel increase over the prev­ious
year. This last year did not include
Alabama. So just you wait,for next year's!
JUST ONCE IN A LONG WHILE it
happens that—Mrs. Lapsley M. Wyatt is
the wife of a city fireman of Kansas City.
Her husband's salary, along with the other
city employees, was reduced. So Mrs. Wyatt
proceeded to go to the City Hall and horse­whip
the City Manager, Judge H. F. Mc-
Elroy, just outside his office. Some more of
the city's employees, the police force, picked
her up and took her to the city's jail.
And a benighted burglar smashed the
glass of the rear door of the Noel Savings
Bank and eased in to pick up a little easy
cash, but he didn't know that the institution
had been closed for five years.

The New American Revolution
By L. E. FOSTER, JR.
America stands aghast watching
the current labor movement. This re­bellion
of workers demanding a
change of industrial practices might
well be termed the American In­dustrial
Revolution. Europe had hers
in the form of an overthrow of the
manorial system; we are having ours
in an' attempted overthrow of the
"freedom of enterprise" system.
John L. Lewis and his bonded as­sociates
are chiseling their way into
the mortar that ties in the corner­stone
of American industry. The
cornerstone, embodying liberty of en­terprise
looks dull and tarnished from
time's weather-stains, but under that
film the stone is as strong and firm
as ever and its inscription just as
bright.
In the event that, the laborers do
succeed in substituting a new type of
stone, it will have to be a strong one—
one that can bear the weight and
abuses that industry will impose on
it. It must be a carefully selected
stone that is in harmony with the
rest of the stones of the building.
Too, it must be carved to fit all the
crevices left where the old block lay.
Engineer Lewis has chosen a stone
composed of minimum wages and
maximum hours. Wili it stand the
pressure/ Is it in keeping with the
other stones? Can it be carved to fit?
This is indeed a ticklish task that
labor has undertaken. The stone that
they propose installing has been used
in other nations, but their building
conditions were somewhat different.
Our structure is much larger and the
stone has to support more weight.
Our stone is more securely cemented
with the sweat and blood of our fore­fathers
who did all in their powers to
make it permanent and unchangeable.
The inscription on America's stone is
of far greater significance. And
lastly ours was established by the
greatest engineers that ever existed
and should not be changed unless ad­vised
by an engineer who is even
greater.
Is Lewis a greater engineer? Most
of us feel that Washington, Jefferson
and the early engineers who made the
building of our industrial structure
possible, knew what they were doing
when they made the cornerstone so
secure. Lewis, with his plans of gov­ernment
regulations, is overlooking
one thing. He is forgetting the pur­pose
for which this country was
founded and is forgetting the dis­tinguishing
feature that has made us
the idyll of nations, freedom to all.

Speaking of descriptive writing, look at
this from Lord Jim:
"The rain pattered and swished in the
garden; a water pipe (it must have had a
hole in it) performed just outside the win­dow
a parody of blubbering woe with funny
sobs and gurgling lamentations, interrupted
by jerky spasms of silence."
Everyone has heard that sound, but few
could express it so well, make it so vivid.

I have no doubt at all the Devil grins
As seas of ink I spatter,
Ye gods, forgive my "literary" sins,
The other kinds don't matter.

It was midnight. Silence hung about in
heavy folds so thick you could eat it with a
spoon. A quiet and hushed solemnity per­meated
the secluded retreat. The atmos­phere
reeked with idea after idea. The calm
was broken only now and then by the clash
of a typewriter key struck too hard as,
rumpling his locks and wrestling his brow,
a tragic figure toiled on far into the night.
O ye who slumbered heedlessly on down beds
of ease, does this nor arouse your sympathy?
* * * *
Still he toiled on, classifying, rejecting,
criticizing, and developing each scintillating
thought with a ruthless and ready hand. He
was becoming fagged and fatigued, numb
and negligent, simple and senseless, but still
he struggled on, writing line after line, till
suddenly the dank air of the early morning
was rent with demonical laughter. He had
attained the seemingly unattainable in the
humorous. Down with Twain and the like!
* * * *
But there is no joy that does not take its
toll in sorrow. Never more could that toiler
write humorously; he had attained the
seemingly unattainable. That dog's day
was past.
* * * *
Such is the fate of him who suffers for
a noble cause, for the sake of art. And do
you hear him complain? No! He is one of
the truly great souls of the world, one of
those who bravely goes on unostentatiously,
inconspicuously, incandescently, receiving no
praise, expecting no praise, desiring no
praise, on, on to the end
of this column.
On Other Campuses
By JOHN GODBOLD
Some enterprising students at the Uni­versity
of California have formed a group
known as Lloyd's of California. For the
nominal sum of five cents, they will insure
any student against being called on in
class. Before class you place your nickle
with bookies who are present to check up,
and if you do get called upon you receive
twenty-five cents "insurance." The plan
operates splendidly unless someone bribes
the professor.
* * * *
In the Florida Flambeau we read that
red seeds plucked from the pods of the bixa
orellana bush serve many girls at the Uni­versity
of Hawaii for lipstick. Known as
the "lipstick bush" the plant is quite com­mon
throughout the islands. But we've al­ready
inquired, and find that the bush won't
grow here. If it could be grown here we
suppose that the future excuse for the boy
friend's appearance would be that he ran
into a bixa orellana bush.

"Dancing in the Dark" might well have
been the theme-song for the accidentally-unique
dance which a Tulane sorority gave
not long ago. Soon after intermission the
lights in the dance hall went out. Because
of a heavy downpour of rain it was almost
impossible for anyone to leave. So the or­chestra
played the numbers which they
knew from memory, and the dance was
finished by the light of matches and two
candles. Some attending did not have a
good time. Most did.
*. * * *
Recently the coeds over at Alabama were
granted special permission to stay out till
twelve o'clock one Saturday night. But the
girl who tried to come in before twelve was
out of luck, for all dormitories and sorority
houses were locked until twelve, forcing the
girls to stay out.
Everyone is still wondering—and still un­able
to find out;—just what the school au­thorities
were trying to prove.

Plainsman Forum—Voice of the Students
Emphasizing Importance Of Open Forum
Conference To Be Held Next Week
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Already you have carried in your columns
an article regarding the special series of
meetings to be held at Auburn next week
under the leadership of Mr. Chester Swor of
Mississippi College. I want to take this op­portunity
of emphasizing the importance of
such a conference including open forum on
campus problems.
On every hand we hear remarks that in­dicate
the intellectual as well as spiritual
and moral unrest among the students of this
campus, and it is well that we have some
means of arriving at some definite and
helpful conclusions about this period of life
that will mean so much to us. I'm sure that
there is no more helpful way of settling
one's doubts than by having an open dis­cussion
of them with someone like Mr. Swor
to lead to helpful solutions from the stand­point
of a student leader and a christian.
Last summer I had the privilege of hear­ing
Mr. Swor twice daily for 8 days at a
student conference in North Carolina and
I am sure that I have never heard one who
is more capable of doing the job than he.
I have have never heard one who has a
better command of the English language
and uses it more effectively and convincing­ly
than he. English students will delight to
hear him from that standpoint.
Auburn students are very fortunate to
have this opportunity of hearing a really
outstanding leader. I, personally, urge the
students to enter into these conferences.
Sincerely yours, Robert C. Johnston.
"Spring Fever" Joins in Chorus of Those
Students Pleading for a Few Holidays
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
This is another letter to gripe along with
the rest of the sudent body because we are
not given Spring holidays at Auburn. There
is very little school work being done here
now because nearly everyone is thinking
about getting out of Auburn for at least
three or four days.
Most schools of Auburn's rating see fit to
grant their students a vacation because they
realize that everyone has a natural let-down
in the Spring. When school work is resumed
the scholastic average goes back to normal.
There are more "cuts" taken at this time
than in any other season of the year.
Here's another hope that something will
be done about the situation at A. P. I.
Yours, Spring Fever.
Someone has just asked me what means
the title of this mess, again. The next time
someone asks me I will be forced to refer
them to "Pete"" Work­man,

Pete's Epistle
Dere Paw:
This here interfratnerty baseball is shore
a sight. Hit looks like we cant play a whole
game without something happening and
calling off the game afore the end. Fust
hit was on account of me fer i was the bally
catcher and i caught a foul tip on the end
of my probnostigus and the game ended fer
they couldnt play without me. At the
second game one of the fellers knocked a
homer-run-plumb-around and he was sew
excited that he tuck out around the wrong
way and run clean intew a feller coming
home from sekkon bast. That knocked both
of them out and the game was called off.
But tew top hit all one day we was playing
in Toomer's cow pasture and a feller was
stealing a bast (mean thang) and the run­ning
was sew close that he had tew slide
and he slid intew what he thought was third
bast and the game was called off on account
of rain.
The weather down here is awful. Hit is
sew purty and warm that yew dont want
tew do a thang but lie around on the grass
and make eyes at sum silly little skirt. Aint
wemmen awful thangs? Paw, how did yew
ever git up the courage tew take that fatal
step down tew the parson's with maw? I
cant hardly git up the mettle tew even ask
any of the co-eds fer a date they are sew
everlasting inderpendent. I thank i have a
good tip now though. One of my good frans
told me that there was two new co-eds work­ing
on the paper that i might git a date
with. I thank i will have a try.
From all i can hear and gather from the
guttersnipes there was a young flood down
here last Phriday nite that struck out about
the Roosevelt Hawl and resulted in washing
away of several of the students that live
around at several places. I was shore glad
that me and Bundling was out on a winny
toasting and was in no way teched by the
flood (waters?). Safely yours,
Pete.

T
The Auburn high school baseball
team will play its third game of the
current season tomorrow afternoon at
3:30 o'clock when they oppose the
strong Camp 48 C. C. C. nine on the
latter's diamond.
The Baby Tigers have a record of
one win and one loss to date, having
defeated Camp 48 by the score of 10
to 8 and lost to Camp 42 by the score
of 6 to 7.
The high school diamond team has
been handicapped considerably by
their inability to get in any intensive
practice sessions as Coach Hitchcock
has only been able to devote about an
hour each day to the squad. However,
present conditions point to a fairly
successful season for the nine.
Starting tomorrow's game for Au­burn
High School will be: Roy Rogers,
pitching; John Preer, catching; Abe
Chritzberg on the initial sack; Junior
Long at second; Charles Ham guard­ing
the hot corner; Herbert Morgan at
the shortstop post; Homer Wright in
left field; Dave Gardner in the center
of the garden; and Harold Smyer in
right field.

dual meet with Georgia will be the
Tigers stiffest test before the an­nual

May 14 and 15.
Branded as the best team in Geor­gia's

boasting two Olympic stars, Spec
Towns, world champion hurdler, and
Bobby Packard, sprint star, have
been picked to win all of their dual
engagements. They have star per­formers
in every event.
Little Bobby Packard has been in-proving
right along in practice.
Wednesday he was clocked in 9.7
seconds in the hundred. In prac­tice
this week, Maurice Green toss­ed
the discus 154 feet 6 inches and
threw the javelin 183 feet, and
Quinton Lumpkin, star football cen­ter,
was throwing the shot better
than 47 feet. Georgia also has a
crack relay team composed of Towns,
Packard, Stevens, and Robinson.
Auburn's cinder burners will be
pretty weak this year as compared
to teams of the past. The Plains­men
have more strength in the
quarter-mile than they have in any
other event. Captain Wilton Kil-gore,
who holds the conference
crown in the 440 and was undefeat­ed

Close Out Season
The freshman tank team closed out
its season with one loss and no wins
to its credit. The lone meet of the year
saw them fall before the onslaught of
Boy's High from Atlanta by the score
of 48 to 18.
Brant Woodward, varsity captain,
took charge of the plebes early in the
season and managed to develop the
twelve candidates into a fairly com­mendable
aggregation of mermen. In
their several practice meets against
the varsity swimmers, a number of the
frosh were outstanding, among them:
Henry Marns and Bob Heathcote,
breast stroke; Ryland Long, free style;
Jack -Woods, diving; and Bill Camp­bell,
back stroke sensation. These men
will be a strong asset to the varsity
next season. Jack Woods, especially,
will be a valuable addition to the div­ing
end of the squad.
Henry Marns, strong breast stroke
star, captained the frosh tankmen and
Thurston Nolen managed the squad.
The Bengals are playing the Georgia
Bulldogs in a return brace of scraps
today and Saturday at 3 o'clock at
Drake Field. In their two-game series
in Athens the Plainsmen won, 7-4,
and 12-7. Joel Eaves the ace of the
staff, and Dick Swindle will hurl
against Georgia, with Lester Aritley
and John Paul Tipper held ready for
reserve duty.
Tipper toiled on ' the mound eight
frames and allowed the Bombers only
five hits. He walked five and struck
out three. Antley took over the hurl­ing
duties in the ninth and retired the
losers in order.
Auburn scored first in the second
stanza when Tipper's terrific smash
to left field for a triple sent Hamm
and Taylor across the plate. Pen-ner's
nine evened the count in the
third on singles by Haas and Adams,
a walk and an infield out. The Tigers
chalked up another tally in the sixth
on a walk to Hayes, a single by Hitch­cock,
and Hamm's fly to left.
Singles by Hamm and Hitchcock
produced another run for the Bengals
in their half of the eight, but the
Bombers scored four times to take the
lead, 6-4. Schell walked, Blanchard
forced Schell at second, Adams singled,
Morgan walked filling the bases. At
this perilious moment "Cheeko" Hern­andez,
Bomber catcher, stepped up and
smacked the third pitched ball for a
triple cleaning the bases.
Determined to reverse the tables,
Auburn staged a nice rally in the
ninth that netted three runs and a
victory. Antley came in to bat for
Tipper and was out to the pitcher,
Kelly walked, Scarborough doubled to
right and Kelly scored on Grangard's
error. Hayes took first on Foth's er­ror
and Scarborough scored, Hitch­cock
singled to left and Hayes scored
when Walker miscued in left. Mason
and Hamm were retired in order to
end the Tiger's rally.

<m 'HEN WE IMPROVE QUALITY—that's fine. When we reduce cost—
that's fine, too. When we do both—when we improve quality
and reduce cost—then that's a bargain, and if s the best of all.
Transportation is* a bargain today on our modern-minded railroads, for
it is vastly better than it has ever been before, and its cost is less than
at any other time in modern history. We of the Illinois Central System
are proud of the present merchandising situation of the railroads, to
which we have largely contributed.
You can travel fast, safely and in style today at 2 cents a mile and
less, with low-cost meals at your
seats, free pillows, air-conditioning,
courteous attention to your needs
—everything designed for your
comfort and to please you.
Your freight will travel faster and
better, too, and be handled in more
convenient style—and still the aver­age
rate collected on all freight will
be slightly less than 1 cent per ton
per mile, which is not quite four-fifths
of the 1921 average.

If You Don't Like It,
Then Go Home Hungry
The student "food fanatic", under
a novel plan to teach social customs
instigated by Prof. Ross J. Griffith of
Butler University, would be forced to
visit homes of all classes of society
and eat whatever was served or go
hungry.
Professor Griffith has other unquie
plans for his "ideal" university which
would benefit college students of the
nation.
"I'd have every student get a three-months
job at a filling station to learn
courtesy". To stress the importance
of punctuality he advocates having an
eight o'clock class at which tardiness
would mean a "flunk".
Athletics would be the medium of
teaching for results. In football you
either play or you don't. Alibies don't
show on the scoreboard.
Students would be stimulated by well
outlined study programs and not have
daily study assignments. There would
be no graduation ceremonies or acade­mic
degrees.
"The university should be merely
the beginning of study," he said. "The
true scholar never stops".

"What's wrong with cheating?"
asks a bright sophomore. "It doesn't
cost the professor anything to give me
a better grade. Most of the stuff we
learn is forgotten before We get
through college. When a fellow gradu­ates
he'll find that it's the one who
can get by who gets ahead. Sure, I
cheat, and 90 per cent of the others
do, too, if they get a chance."
The sophomore who said that was
not one of "ye ole Auburnites", but he
might have been in so far as the atti­tude
is cpncerned, therefore, existing
conditions and attitudes warrant re­flection.
The whole thing is the attitude of
one who is thinking of the present and
the satisfactions of the moment. There
is no thought for the whole of life.
Someone said recently, "Living is ser­ious
business". The important thing
about that statement is that "living"
is not just for the moment, but is for
a lifetime.
It is necessary for students to re­member
that they are building "life"
as well as living "life". They are
building for the future. The founda­tion
stones are being laid during stu­dent
years that will hold up the life
of respected leadership all the rest of
the years, or that will crumble under
pressure of most any occasion.
The whole question of cheating on
examination, revolves about the ques­tion
of honesty. Someone said "hones­ty
is the best policy". If that is true
why are not all people honest?
The fact of the business is that all
people are not dishonest. The world
is operated on the matter of faith and
trust in fellow-men. It still remains
I
that honesty is the best policy, and not
only the best policy, but honesty is
right.
Suppose everybody were dishonest,
that every student cheated on exami­nations,
what kind of a town and
college would this become? And sup­pose
that the college cheated on the
credits given you. The grocer cheated
in selling you groceries, and the cafe-operator
cheated in selling you a meal,
and the filling station operator in fill­ing
your gas tank, what a terrible
place to live. Thus, one test of "is it
not all right to cheat?"
Another answer to that question is
"will it stand publicity"? Are you
willing for your name to be published
in the paper that you cheated on your
examination. Or for the clause to be
inserted on your diploma "This di­ploma
is awarded for satisfactorily
completing BY CHEATING ON
EXAMINATION the prescribed
course of study. . . ." Hardly shall a
student be found who would want to
present a diploma with that statement
to a prospective employer. Then if it
will not stand publicity there must be
some doubt about the right of it.
Taking another look at .this ques­tion:
"what's wrong with cheating?"
It will be safe for a student to re­member
how he would classify cheat­ing
in any other thing. If cheated out
of a gallon of gasoline by a filling sta­tion
operator, the operator is called a
cneat, a thief, a robber, a low-down
snake in the grass, and so on far into
the night. Why should not such same
classification be made in reference to
cheating on examinations. It is
simply presenting for college credit
something that is not rightfully yours.
Again, the matter of "getting by"
will hurt a student's personality.
Cheating, as well as any other wrong,
undermines character by lessening
self-respect and self-confidence. This
is an almost irreparable loss to any
individual. The lowering of standards
in this respect tends to lower stand­ards
all along the way, thus opening
the way for law-breaking and crime to
rule and thereby take its toll in every
walk and activity of life.
The conclusion is therefore, "Cheat­ing
is Dishonest", and the true Au­burn
Spirit rebels at anything dis­honest.

LECTURES AT MEET

Until recently it seemed that the
novel idea of a half-blind, tottering
gentlemean who died in the Ozarks
of" Arkansas last spring would pass
along with him.
He suggested that someone erect
a 130-foot-high pyramid, fill it with
modern products, and seal it her­metically.
"This civilization is going to the
dogs," he said, "and when the year
8113 rolls around, the people can
open the pyramid up and see just
what was wrong with the people back
in 1936."
I Now Oglethorpe University has
adopted the idea. With the cooper­ation
of Scientific American it plans
to build the pyramid and stock it
with everything from a sound film
record of greetings from the presi­dent
of the United States to the citi­zens
of 8113 to samples of present
day brands of chewing gum.

Before a certain Purdue Univer­sity
professor accepted a bet chal­lenge
on the outcome of the Indiana-
Purdue game, sent to him by a fellow
professor at Indiana University, he
dug up statistics showing that Pur­due
had won the majority of games,
he watched the teams a t practice, and
consulted with athletic directors.
Feeling sure that Purdue would
win on the basis of all the substanti­ation,
he mailed his acceptance to
the Indiana professor.
When the game ended in a tie,
both professors breathed more easily
and re-pocketed their respective
nickles.

Dr. Alfred M.' Nielson, professor
of economic geography at New York
University, has an aversion for chew-ers
of gum. Here is how he classi­fies
them:
"There are five types of gum-chewers.
First, the type which
chews with a gentle, oscillating mo­tion,
like a contented cow. Next,
the type which chews to the rhythm
of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Thirdly, the kind known as the 'rail­road
chewer'. They produce noises
like the 'clickety-click' of a train.
"Then come two types of synchro-

W. A. Mann, University of Texas
law student, is sick of hearing his
own voice.
He wagered his roommates that he
could better the late Huey P. Long's
filibuster record of 16 hours. When
they took him up on his boast, he
launched into a non-stop monologue
time and again as lengthy as any that
Cornelia Otis Skinner has ever
given.
Talking on astrology, religion, pol­itics,
economics, his life history and
many other things, Mann lasted 16
hours and 10 minutes—10 minutes
longer than Long.

Los Angeles, Cal.-(ACP)—"Col­lege
students are slowly beginning
to appreciate the better type of
music but still show a strong liking
for jazz," Fritz Kreisler, world fa­mous
vliolinist and composer, told
students of Los Angeles Junior Col­lege.
"If students will stay away from
jazz a little, they will soon discover
the pleasure that comes to one when
they can appreciate the classics.
"Several years from now the field
of music may be changed considera­bly
"from what it is today, through
the influence of television, and stu­dents
who are studying music should
keep this in mind," he continued.
"There are just as many opportun­ities
for ambitious music students
now as there were a number of
years ago and as there will be rn the
future. However, what change tele­vision
will bring about in music in
the future is hard to tell.
"But," declared Kreisler, "if a
student is a good musician the world
will listen to him no matter what
happens."

Atlantic City, N. J.—(ACP) If it
were not for family nagging, most
college students would drop out of
school at the end of two years and
go to work.
That is the conclusion of Dr. Rob­ert
J. Trevorrow, president of Cen­tenary
Collegiate Institute. Dr.
Trevorrow told the convention of the
Middle States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools that "If you
take away the family urging, the
pride and other factors urging the
boy or girl to go on, the great ma­jority
are satisfied after two years.
"Out of seven freshmen in the
average American college only two
graduate," he declared. "And you
cannot say that they are bad stu­dents,
or dumb; i t is simply that
their intellectual interests are satis­fied.
"It is better," he continued, "to
have a two-year junior college course
from which they can graduate and
go home proudly than have them
leave school in the middle of the
four year course."
