TRAIN LEAVES A T 9:20
All Students Urged To Be On
Hand As Classes Are Suspended
For This Occasion
Classes have been excused Thursday
between nine and ten o'clock to enable
students en masse to see the football
team off to Detroit. Students are
asked to assemble at the main gate
and fall in behinS the band as it leaves
to meet the 9:20 train on which the
players will leave.
The entire cheerleading squad will
be on hand to direct the meeting. The
band will play enroute to the station
and at intervals while the train is in.
Several yells will be given at the station
as the players embark on one of
the longest trips of the season.
Coaches Appreciate Reception
The entire coaching staff has expressed
their appreciation of the reception
given the team Sunday when
they returned from Knoxville. They
are well pleased with the support given
the team thus far during the season.
They state that the team also
appreciates the fine support given
them.
Head Cheerleader Lee states, "I
want every student in town to turn
out for this send-off. I want them to
cover the station and swamp the train.
Some of the Freshmen don't know how
it feels to yell. I want them to come
and join in on just one "War Eagle"
and feel that old Auburn Spirit creep
into their blood. Those Tigers have
a hard schedule and need all the support
they can get. They will come
through for you if you will get behind
them. Be there and yell!"

Pep Telegram Service
A new telegraph service which will
enable sports fans to encourage warriors
on the gridiron and in other
contests has been inaugurated by the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
it was announced today by Miss Anne
Wilson, local manager.
"The great popularity of the twenty-
five cent birthday telegram of congratulations
to points throughout the
United States, with suitable messages
supplied by the telegraph company,
and thirty-five cents when messages
are prepared by the sender, has resulted
in Western Union establishing similar
rates for these pep messages,"
Miss Wilson said. "Suitable messages
have been prepared by the telegraph
company for the convenience of persons
who do not wish to compose their
own telegrams. The rate remains the
same regardless of the length of the
fixed-text message or the distance
to the point of destination in the
United States."

Copyrights of the three songs have
been obtained by the Auburn Band,
and a contract has been signed with
this New York company to publish the
songs and to handle distribution to
radio stations in the form of recordings.
The songs will be placed on sale at
football games this fall. They will
also be on sale in Auburn at the Department
of Public Information in

read as follows:
No man who is participating, or
has within the school year participated,
in the sport in question, either
varsity or freshman, is eligible for independent
athletics.
No players are allowed to play with
more than one team.
Men who are members of fraternities
not represented on the Auburn
campus are eligible to play with one of
the independent teams.

Cardinal Key Elects
Albenia Pierce New
Secretary Of Group
Last week the members of Cardinal
Key, national honor society for girls,
elected Albena Pierce as their new
secretary in the place of Kay Sibert,
who automatically lost this position
when she did not enroll again this
year at Auburn.
Miss Pierce, whose home is at Mil-stead,
is a senior in the Department
of Home Economics. During the three
years which she has been at Auburn,
she has had several distinct honors
conferred upon her. She is the president
of the Woman Student Government
Council and secretary of the
Cardinal Key organization.
Cardinal Key has several interesting
events planned for the scholastic
year of 1936-1937. One of the most
important events to be sponsored by
the club is the May Day festival.
Chamber Commerce
Founded For Auburn
Sponsored by a group of young business
men of Auburn, a Junior Cham-
•
ber of Commerce has been organized
during the past few weeks. The organization,
which is one of the few
of its kind in the state, has as its
purpose the sponsoring of civic improvements,
the revision and enforcement
of local laws and the fostering
of the Auburn spirit. Several new
projects have already been discussed
and are under investigation.
Officers Elected
At their first official meeting last
Thursday night the following officers
were elected: Jeff Beard, president;
Roberts Brown, vice-president and
George McMillan, secretary and treasurer.
Other charter members of the
organization include Hugh Cottle, G.
E. Young, John Carmack, Sam Beard,
Bob Smith, Byrd L. Moore, Sam Gentry,
Millard Moore, Harvey G. Pitts,
F. G. Hutto, Harold Biggin, J. G.
Ward, A. J. Gentry, Sammy Barnes,
and Paul Bagley.
The new organization has already
gained the popular approval of the
townspeople and it promises to create
a new era in the Auburn economical
system.
After battling Tennessee through
three scoreless quarters, the Auburn
Tigers started a relentless drive from
their own 36 yard line which only
stopped after Joel Eaves scored on an
eight yard pass from Bobbie Blake,
substitute halfback for Billy Hitchcock.
Vols Fail on One-Yard Line
A crowd of 15,000 spectators watched
the Tiger eleven strive in vain to
pierce the stone wall defense of the
Vols through 55 minutes of play and
had just about concluded that the contest
was to end in a scoreless tie
when the Plainsmen started on the
touchdown drive. Just previous to
this, Major Bob Neyland.'s charges
placed the ball on the Tiger one yard
stripe, but were unable to put it over
in four downs. Had they done so the
victory might have been theirs by the
same margin as the Plainsmen won.
Blake Passes Well
Bobby Blake came into his own as
he gave a fine exhibition of passing
and running. Playing his last year,
Blake has come a long way since his
entry into school four years ago. Today
he is one of the best passers on
the squad and a capable ball carrier.
"Rabbit" Karam, too, showed up well
as he made several substantial gains
through the line. A star in the hun-

Johnston New Prexy
Of Baptist Students
Robert C. "Bob" Johnston was elected
to head the Baptist Student Union
at Auburn at a meeting of the Baptist
students on last Sunday. Johnston
fills the unexpired term of Earnest
Thornhill who recently resigned from
school to accept the position of assistant
County Agent in Perry County.
Since entering Auburn Mr. Johnston
has been actively engaged in the work
of the Baptist Union. Last year he
was president of the Ayers B.Y.P.U.
and at the same time reporter for the
Union. Last spring along with the
other officers composing the B.S.U.
Council, Johnston was inducted into
the office of first vice-presidency, from
which post he was called to take up
the oversight of all the Baptist Student
work as president.
Along with his religious activities
on the campus, Johnston is a news
editor on the Plainsman staff, and is
also president of the Swimming Club.
Police Chief* Made Official
Bed Time Caller By
Curfew Law
By HOWARD WORKMAN
•"The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day" becomes the duty of Chief
Watson as the city passes a new law
for calling bed-time on college students.
This new law is designed primarily
to cut down on the number of
students sleeping in class.
The new city administration realized
that they are entrusted with the
welfare of thousands of students and
the department of city beautification
suggested the new law so that all students
might get their beauty sleep
thereby greatly improving the looks
of the city in addition to giving the
students a chance to rest their weary
bones.
The first victims of the law were
"Grits" Rice and "Sock" Sockwell,
members of Agnew's band, and three
Southern Gentlemen who were very
embarrassd that Big Chief Watson did
not offer them the bridal suite or even
a room with a bath at the City Re-tainery
when he whisked them off the
streets at the extremely decent hour
of four-thirty and rushed them
through the town in the DeLuxe Stu-debaker
Brown Maria accompanied by
a cordon of five of his flatfeet.
When accosted by the police chief tan
the aforesaid Gentlemen informed him
that they were waiting for the Dutch
Windmill street car which would no
doubt be along anon. The chief however
instructed them that "now was
the time for all good men to come
along with him." Which they did.
Although this new law greatly increases
the duties of the police force
they are tough enough to stand the
strain and carry out the letter of the
law. Good sleeping ahead, fair studes!
Thirteen seniors and three juniors
were elected last night to membership
in Tau Beta Pi, highest honorory engineering
society. The juniors were
elected for the first time on this campus
as the society is primarily a senior
honorary fraternity.
List of Men Honored
The seniors elected are W. L. Stafford,
Florence; Ralph Searcy, Greenville;
Robert Spruiell, Leeds; Louie
Rice, Philadelphia, Pa.; Herman
Gauggel, Fairfield; Harry Eiland,
Birmingham; Frank Triolo, Brooklyn,
N. Y.; Brandt Woodward, Birmingham;
Malcolm Orr, Macon, Ga.; R. H.
Wood, Abbeville; Glenn Middlebrooks,
Dothan; L. E. Cox, Florence; and W.
L. Denham, Birmingham.
The juniors elected are W. B. Stel-zenmuller,
Birmingham; D. A. York,
Monroeville; and Roy Dodge, Gadsden.
The juniors were elected to provide
men to carry on the society next year.
This custom has been practiced in
other chapters of the society but has
never been tried here until this year.
Purpose of Fraternity
The purpose of the organization is
"to mark in a fitting manner those
who have conferred honor on their
Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship
as undergraduates, or by their
attainments as alumni; and to foster
a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering
schools of America."
Tau Beta Pi is instrumental in
bringing prominent engineers to the
local campus every year for lectures.
The society also gives a trophy to the
highest ranking freshman in the
engineering school each year.
Officers for the year are president,
Walter Schuster; vice-president, Howard
Davis; and secretary, Mark
Nichols.
NOTICE!
R. O. T. C. pants, shirts and belts
have arrived at Broun Hall supply
room. Please call by if you have had
any of above ordered.
NOTICE!
All members of last year's rifle team
meet at the Engineer classroom at 5
o'clock, Thursday, Oct. 15.
Auburn Graduate Is
Engineer Journalist
William Benjamin West, engineering
journalist of New York City and
graduate with the class of 1918, is one
of the most successful writers among
Auburn's alumni.
In a recent issue of "Engineering"
published in England, there appeared
a 10-page article on the Huey P. Long
Bridge across the Mississippi River.
Previously this English publication
has carried extensive discussions by
Mr. West on the Pennsylvania Railroad
stream-lined locomotive. Within
the last few weeks Mr. West has completed
an excellent technical account
of the Triborough Bridge at New
York for the same publication.
Negro Loses Clothes
Sleeping On Railroad
Nudism crept a step closer to Auburn
last Thursday night when R. H.
Dunn of Sylacauga awoke along the
Central of Georgia tracks near the
Opelika Mill village sans clothing.
Police officers said Dunn, who did
most of his long and short travelling
via "the rods" told them he had a few
nips with a group of "gentmen" and
lay down to catch a little nodding besides
the tracks.
When he awoke late in the night he
was minus his clothing.
He applied for aid at Deputy Sheriff
Holmes of the village. Holmes
obligingly lent him some clothes and
also "lent" him a place to stay—in
jail.

Opening Dances Lose Money;
Some Change Necessary
The Opening Dances ere now history
(if they make history) and the
Social Committee is no doubt in debt
to some extent through no fault of
its own.
It is a known fact that of the three
major dance sets held during the year,
the Sophomore Hop creates the smallest
interest among students. So there
could be no other outcome than a
deficit. It is rather strange that the
Committee usually plans the Openings
with the expectation of losing
money rather than showing a profit.
It is true that this loss is more than
made up during the other two sets,
but even with this it is hard for us to
see why the Openings could not be
run in such manner that the Committee
would not have to start the
year with a deficit to overcome.
An intelligent step to take would
be to use a local orchestra, charge a
smaller admission, have a larger attendance
and make money, not lose it.
Then at the Mid-terms the money
saved could be used to engage a better
band than has been the custom in past
years. Of course the prices would
have to be boosted somewhat, but
most students would rather pay
eleven dollars to hear one of the country's
foremost orchestras than eight
for a second or third rate, which
usually come here for the Junior
Prom.
We admit it is rather late to be
bringing such an idea forward, but
the Social Committee should be considering
such a plan for coming years.
Bachelor Professors Need
Recreational Facilities
Auburn with its growth in recreational
facilities has overlooked one
group that should merit some con-
.. sideration—the young bachelor-professor
clique.
These young men do not feel they
have the liberty to take part in
student activities including dances,
parties, and general student social activities.
This being true some provision
should be made by the school
whereby a recreational center for
them could be established. Some colleges
form University Clubs where
these bachelors and married men
whose wives are not with them might
stay. In this club ping-pong, billiards,
cards, and other games are enjoyed.
It is obvious that Auburn could not
install such an elaborate set-up, but
perhaps several rooms for recreational
purposes could be given over to
them. The members could be charged
a small fee for general upkeep.
Support Needed For Team
Winning Or Losing
Sunday, October 4th, the football
team returned amid cheers of few
loyal supporters; last Sunday on returning
from Knoxville the squad was
greeted with the band, horn-tooting,
and several hundred high-spirited
students and townspeople.
If this contrast shows anything it
shows rather a bad spirit on part of
Auburn supporters. The boys fought
just as' hard at New Orleans as at
Knoxville but were unfortunate
enough not to score and consequently
had a rather unenthusiastic reception.
But last Sunday! Whoopee! We won
and students crowded the station to
give the warmest welcoming in some
years.
What the team needs is support and
encouragement at all times, not just
in victory. Had you rather have a
helping hand when you're up or when
you're down? Let's remember this.
Money's Worth Not Obtained
In Educational Values
In this little essay we shall think of
education as a commodity,—something
bought and sold on the open
market. And we must assume that
judicious buyers want the most for
their money when buying a commodity.
This is an accepted principle
of trade.
But is it true of education? Do
college students endeavor to get the
most for their money? The answer
is found, we believe, in our annual
report of scholastic averages made by
undergraduates at Auburn last session.
The "All College Average" was
•78.49, or 8.49 above the minimum of
70 for passing. It was 21.51 points
below the maximum of 100.
And the financial outlay for making
100 would have been the same as that
which was incurred in making 78.49.
No more money was needed. More
mental effort at the same financial
outlay would have done the job, or
much of it.
A few students approach the 100
mark. Others fall well below 70. For
the two extremes there was no difference
in the price.
And so education, viewed as a commodity,
is something for which we
can get more without paying more;
and in getting more for the same
price we are preparing ourselves for
a bigger future and a greater success,
financial and otherwise—Guest editorial
by' P. O. Davis.
Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
Having heard much discussion on the
part of several students pro and con on
this matter of having their names appearing
in one of your columns, I would like to get
in my two cent's worth.
Let me begin by saying that I am not a
member of either the Plainsman or the Tiger
Rag staff. In my humble opinion your columnists
are not petty and vicious people,
nor do I think that they write only their
own opinion. I don't believe any Auburn
student is of such nature that he will use
his or her column for personal grievances.
Most of the students accept the verbal
brick-bats with good grace like the trumps
they are. To those few who "can't take it",
let me suggest that if they cannot reap
their harvest let them not sow their wild
oats.—Yours, A RECLUSE.
Editor, The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
Permit me through the columns of The
Plainsman to make a suggestion regarding
evening recreational facilities on the campus.
It will soon be too cool for walking and
skating dates. All boys can't take every
date to a show. It seems to me that the
evenings are really the logical time for keeping
the Recreation Hall open.
The Smith Hall girls are particularly affected
by this situation, as no recreational
opportunities such as ping-pong, cards, radios,
etc., are available to them. Also, after
seven-thirty there can be no dancing or
piano playing and a minimum of hilarity is
permitted, because it interferes with those
who wish to study.
If Mrs. Jolly could keep the recreation hall
open from eight o'clock until ten on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights,
a center of recreation would be provided for
all non-fraternity groups and also for many
students who live in town.
After a day of classes we crave some
wholesome activity. Why not utilize the
facilities so near at hand?
What can we do about it?

PERSONALITIES - By Son Thomas
THE WRITER is truly "on a spot". If
he chooses a student as the subject of his
column, he is accused of indulging in a
little free politicking. If a professor is
made the "goat", the writer is bro . . .
boot-licking. Then, when he turns in desperation
to the townspeople, he finds most
of them very uncommunicative and fearful
that certain uncomfortable past moments
will be brought to light . . . SO, until the
students rise up in a body and denounce
PERSONALITIES, the writer will continue
to edit this column in as impersonal
a manner as possible. It seems impossible
to carry on without some criticism.
* * * *
MANY THANKS for this week's suggestions.

ONCE THERE WAS A HILLBILLY
Away up in the hills of northwest Alabama
is <a little town called Sulligent.
There one finds barn dances and spelling
bees the order of the day. It was in this
section of primitive wilderness, land of
hillbillies, sawmills, and quiltings (and,
doubtless, "rev'noors") that "Doc" Mose-ley
was born. (Incidentally, the writer
once lived there; hence the hick characteristics)
.
But when "Doc" reached the age of
two years, his father, a government engineer,
moved the family to Birmingham
. . . and "Doc" became "cityfied".
FIDDLER
Moseley started taking music lessons
when he was ten years old and soon proved
himself a "natural". He played in the
Ensley High Symphony Orchestra and was
also concert master of the Ensley High
String Ensemble.
ACCLAIM
In 1930 he was selected to play in the
National High School Symphony Orchestra,
an organization made up of promising
young musicians from every section of the
country. The orchestra was directed by
Walter Damrosch, world famous in the
field of classical music. One has but to
realize the greatness of Walter Damrosch
to understand what an honor it was for
"Doc" to be selected by him. The concerts
were played in Chicago.
On Other Campuses — By The Wanderer
AUBURN MEN, WATCH YOUR
MANNERS "
Students of Washington and Lee University
learned last week that courtesy
and friendliness were valuable traits. The
college recently was notified that it would
receive an estate valued at $1,500,000 in
the near future.
Before the World War a New York stock
broker inspected several Southern colleges.
He was so impressed by the courtesy and
cordiality shown him by a W & L student
that, upon his death in 1918, his will specified
that upon the death of his wife the
estate was to go to the school. She died
last week.

UNITED STATES POLITICS ON'
COLLEGE CAMPUSES
Student straw votes at Univ. of Kentucky
and Catawba College reveal a substantial
majority for Roosevelt. Surprisingly large
have been the number of votes cast for Norman
Thomas, the Socialist candidate.
Visitors to the campus of Heidelberg University
of Tiffin, Ohio, have been astounded
during the past two days by the sight
of seniors earnestly engaged in the business
of pushing watermelons about the
grounds with their noses. Rumor has it
that the upperclassmen lost a joint wager
with the freshmen that Landon would not
make practical promises during his current
campaign.—Los Angeles Jr. Collegian.
Most predictions indicate that Roosevelt's
Garner Landon the White House for an-
.other four years in spite of Hamilton's
Knox.—The Davidsonian.
* * * *
WHISKERINO
The student council of the Arizona State
Teachers College of Flagstaff, Arizona,
voted to support a general "whisker growing"
to last until October 24; this means
that all students, faculty members, town-jacks,
and citizens of Flagstaff will not
shave until that day.—Los Angeles Jr. Collegian.
Could you picture some of our deans with
a three weeks growth of beard?
* * . . * *
OUCH!
A dean of the Oklahoma School of Religion
joined the Legion of the Insane by
starting to write a newspaper column. His
first attempt went off with a bang: "To
you, Dear Little Lisping Betty Boops, with
rosebud lips, cunning dimples, painted
cheeks, and plump hips, to whom everything
is just too darling, exquisite, and
ravishingly sweet, let me say that sugar
coating is generally used for pills, human
and otherwise."
Congratulations Dean.

I SEEN
DR. JOHN CARMACK'S best vision
very seriously impaired by the dress
worn by Mary Pearce Saturday
night to "Muggsie" Lincoln's dance.
GLORY BE!
And C. C. Markle's oggle-orbs most
bodaciously strained in a similar manner
Saturday afternoon.
Making three votes, making the two
dresses about the best seen at the dances.
Selah.
MUGGSIE LINCOLN
So called by Charlie Agnew account
having nifh most the prettiest mug he has
ever seen. He is strongly backed in his
opinion by everyone who attended the
dances Friday and Saturday, and there
again was a dress . . . or should we call
these dresses, gowns or is this a social
column . . . to turn one's eyes. The one
Saturday night just plain making all us
fellows flap-jack-eyed.
* * * *
Shall never love my brown button-eyed
teddy bear, and my bubble blower as well
now as before the dances. Want now to
be grown-up, and hold hands.
* * * *
V. Merritt is to be congratulated on
having the best Soph Hop dances ever
held here . . . oh the arrangement of the
dances . . . and his Saturday afternoon
date;
From advance dope r The Junior Prom
to be held in January shall be the best set
of dances ever held here or anyplace else,
with the best orchestra in the country playing—
with other attractions on the side,
and with every man's best girl either down
here to the dances or down with scarlet
fever so she can't come.
AND YOU KNOW IT
Why the dances were so good: Dottie
Hendon . . .. Molly Brasfield (In black Friday
afternoon, pink Friday night, and red
Saturday night) . . . Sarah Smith . . .
"The Gem of the Ocean and the Queen of
the May", Lil Barnes Cherry . . . Louisa
Taylor . . . Junie Tooker . . . Sunshine
Mary Pearce . . . Star Eyes Jane Dickson
. . . Scottie Reeves . . . Mary Hagood . . .
and more . . . and very pretty.
BOBBY BLAKE
is wanted by the office, and if. he and
Joel Eaves could have heard the deep sigh
of relief to go all over the town after the
fourth quarter touchdown their efforts
would have been well repaid. The veriest
of congratulations to the whole Auburn
line for its goal line stand, and best wishes
to the team when they go out Woodward
Avenue this Saturday afternoon.
ANDY "TEN MILE" ELLIOTT
is also wanted at the office . . . so much is
wanted at the office . . . mainly a blonde
stenographer for this typewriter. Whose
spelling should be as uniform as her "fig-ger",
and her writing style as breezy as
most blonde's ideas.
VERILY
A pretty girl is like a melody, but so
many more are like the hymn played during
the taking of collection.
* * * *
IT GROWS TIRESOME, I KNOW—
to forever have to think of blondes, brunettes,
and red heads. But one does, it
seems . . . constantly. Until riding at
dusk down the road leading to Tuskegee,
and seeing a very orange colored sun ba-loon
big behind pine trees, and sneak
through golden rod and October sage brush
. . . and then still, and big, and down.
And then one can think of nothing, and '
doesn't have to.
THE COVER PULLING, AND—
the "Your nose ran that way . . . have you
seen mine?" weather is with us again.
No more "skeeters" to zoom and bomb
big toes poked out from under hot sheets,
and no more afternoons of walking on
your complexion from having it run down
in your shoes.
* * * *
Very fine, but now 'tis too cold, also,
to drink beer.
* * * *
LOOK—
for the worst change yet in the column
very soon. Would suggest you read your
Sears Roebuck catalogues or something
else nice.
* * * *
It snows and your nose runs cold, and
fastly. Your toes in your shoes curl like
a Turk's toes in his shoes. Now time's
love time 'stead too long Springtime.
Makes blood run warm; from pockets take
hands, to hold other hands to be warm and
gay. But frost shakes hands with exposed
hands; now put them away.
Your feet are cold . . . more cold than.
your hands, and your nose has run away
. . . leaving nothing but you . . . shivering.

Reserve Strength Lacking
Auburn once again was hampered
considerably by its lack of reserve
strength which has been prevalent all
season. It is a generally conceded
fact that the first team is one of the
best in the country, but upon the removal
of some of these men the morale
of the entire eleven seems to suffer a
drop with a consequent loss of power.
Minor injuries were received by
Hugh Rpdgers, and Bummy Roton, but
both will be on hand for the Detriot
game this Saturday. Joe Stewart is
still on the injured list and will probably
be forced to sit on the sidelines
for at least another week.
A squad of 37 men will entrain tomorrow
morning for Detroit with a
short stopover in Atlanta where they
will be given a brisk workout. Up
until today, the varsity have been given
only light workouts with the reserves
doing most of the contact work.
Auburn Grad Accepts
Position In Kentucky
Mrs. C. L. Majors, graduate of the
class of 1936, has accepted a position
in Pelachee, Ky., as dietetian in the
Mountain school there. This school is
solely for mountain boys and girls
from the .ages of 6-30. It is located
15 miles from any railroad station or
other communication in the mountains
of Kentucky. The students are taken
from the underprivileged of the State
and while in school must abide under
very strict discipline. The girls must
dress in all white and the boys in blue
overalls. The boys and girls are forbidden
to speak, and their tables in
the dining room are on opposite sides
of the room. The same procedure
exists in the classroom.
Educators Advocate
Education By Radio
"Education by Radio" is advocated
by educators in a formal request that
a segment of the better broadcasting
channels be set aside for exclusive use
of educational institutions.
This 'proposal was laid before the
Federal Communication Commission,
October 5, as it opened its ten day
hearing on proposed revision of radio
regulations.

Efforts To Enlarge
Alabama Vote Made
Charles W. Edwards, as a member
of the State Democratic Committee,
having previously introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment of
co-chairmen among the Woman Democrats
to enlarge the Alabama vote,
spoke before the Auburn Democratic
leaders of Alabama in Montgomery,
Wednesday.
Mr. Edwards, in praising the progress
of the woman, explained that a
much larger Democratic vote was expected
in the fall election because of
the new life given to the party by the
women workers.
He also made the point that now a
majority, not a two-thirds vote, is required
to nominate a candidate. He
explained that this would lower the
Alabama vote unless a reapportionment
of delegates is provided. The
raised vote for this fall is very important,
therefore, to Democrats in Alabama.
Teacher Shortage In
Industrial Arts Noted
Prof. Dan T. Jones, head professor
of industrial engineering and shops,
says there is a shortage of qualified
teachers in industrial arts.
"This department is still receiving
calls for teachers that it is unable to
fill," says Prof. Jones.
Had the industrial arts teachers
been available, twenty-five or more
could have been placed at salaries
ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 for the
nine month terms.

had failed to appear and that he
had found the fellowship. of the students
and people very enjoyable.
