Editors Buntin-Workman Flee
As Irate Staff Stages Riot
A riotous group of Plainsman staff members successfully-carried
through ouster proceedings yesterday against Edi­tor
James Buntin and his Managing Editor, Howard Work­man.
When Buntin and Workman came to work immediately
after lunch yesterday, they were "confronted by the entire
Plainsman staff, who produced a petition signed by all of
them, asking for immediate removal of the two publication
heads. They claimed that this petition had been approved
by the proper college officials.
The two writers tried to force their way into the office,
but a shower of lead slugs, typewriters, and waste baskets
drove them away. Rumor has it that Buntin and Workman,
seeing that the irate newswriters meant business, appealed
to college administrative officials, who, however, proved
to be in sympathy with the rioting staff and threatened the
ex-editors with dire punishment if they did not immediate­ly
explain their behavior.
Evidently they could not, for they fled and were last seen
proceeding rapidly down the Atlanta highway.
Charges brought against the Plainsman dictators includ­ed,
among other things, a statement to the effect that both
men were generally undesirable as publication heads, that
. they had an insatiable lust for power,' that they refused to
share any of the graft of their lucrative offices, that last
week they had given a dinner downtown in honor of a cer­tain
well-known and dangerous Communist lecturer and
lastly that the staff just didn't like them.
Since the opening of school the Plainsman office has been
the center of a feud between staff members and the two
editors that makes the Martins and the Coys look like pikers.
One writer stated that "in general, those two are about as
popular with the staff as poison ivy in a nudist colony."
Edwin Godbold, a junior member of the staff who is said
to have been instrumental in fomenting the rebellion against
the ex-editors, assumed control of the newspaper office and
edited this issue. He has the support of the army group in
the struggle, and Col. Wallace has ordered out two bat­teries
of 75's and a company of engineers and stationed
them at the newspaper office. The fear has been expressed
by some that the ex-editors would attempt to enlist the aid
of the R. O. T. C. corps in Tuskegee, but little weight is
given to the thought.
It is reported by some that the disgruntled staff memb­ers
held a meeting in Ag Bottom Monday night and resolved
unanimously that they would have no more of the Buntin-
Workman regime.
College officials have announced that a substantial re­ward
is offered to the person showing evidence that he
knows where the two men are, and also showing that he
is sufficiently capable of keeping them there.
Workman is described by those who know him best as
being of average height, with an inborn antipathy for comb­ing
his hair and a strong addiction for smoking vile cigars.
Buntin, though he dresses well, is dangerous and is not to
be trusted.
Because of their natural talents which so well qualify
them for it, acquaintances of the two believe that they must
have gone east to join the sit-downers, if they can find any.

Miss Auburn - - Loveliest Co-ed Of The Plains
SARA SMITH, charming: and popular coed of Union Springs, was chosen Miss Auburn last week in a
student opinion poll sponsored by the Plainsman and the Glomerata. Miss Smith is a student in Science
and Literature and has been on the campus for three years. Her picture appeared in the beauty sec­tion
of the Glomerata last year. —Phot'o By Brooks
Fenton Receives
Blue Key Award
For his stellar carrying of the
ball against Tennessee in Birm­ingham
on Legion Field last Sat­urday,
Jimmy Fenton, education
senior from Lakeland, Fla., col­lected
seven of the thirteen votes
cast by pressbox sports writers
to win Blue Key's trophy for most
outstanding player. Close on Fen-ton's
heels, and losing by but one
vote, was "Gorgeous George" Ken­more
who tallied six votes in the
writer's poll.
Blue Key's president, John Pol­lard,
made the presentation. The
trophy was inscribed thus: "Pre­sented'
by Blue Key to the Most
Outstanding Player in the Auburn-
Tennessee Football Game, Novem­ber
6, 1937." The eight inch trophy
was a bronze image of a ball car­rier
in full grid regalia mounted
on a bronze pedestal.
W. A. A. Organizes
For Infra-Murals
The Women's Athletic Associa­tion
at its monthly meeting Mon­day
night organized the group
leaders for intramural sports and
approved the new point system.
The first twenty-five high-rank­ing
girls will receive an emblem
as an award for their achieve­ment
in sports. There will be no
standard number of points to be
reached and scores will accumu­late
by participation in team or.
individual sports and attendance
in any of the athletic social clubs.
Records of each participant will
be kept in the physical education
office at 210 Samford Hall, where
at any time the girls can check
up on their points. These activities
are open to all girls and are be­ing
conducted by Miss Stollen-werck
and Miss Kreher, assisted
by W. A. A. members.
The W. A. A. leaders appointed
at the meeting Monday night are
Joan Metzger, intramural pro­gram
leader; Sara Lee Banks,
volley ball leader; Marie Hodges,
twenty-one and tenikoits; Boris
White, basketball goal and throw­ing
contest; Virginia Adams, bad­minton;
Mary Hayes, tennis; Su-zelle
Hare, archery; Ruth Lowe,
shuffleboard; Nellie Ruth Ward,
hiking club and Dot Ward, ten­nis
club.
The W. A. A. is making the
most organized effort in years to
have a sport to fulfill the needs
of every girl and to have every
girl participating in the athletic
program for recreation. Its final
success can only be determined by
the cooperation of all the girls
interested in athletics. Tourna­ments
will be announced on the
bulletin board in Samford Hall
and in the Plainsman.
Marie Hodges, social leader, an­nounced
that the W. A. A. will
have a dance January 7 in the

An Explanation
The editors have temporarily
relinquished their posts in fa­vor
of younger—and more in­experienced—
hands and were
in no way concerned with the
publication of this issue. They
made no assignments, wrote no
headlines, read no proof, and
had no part in making np the
paper.
Any criticism, therefore, of
the appearance of today's issue
or the news therein should not
fall on them. All criticism be­longs
to us, and we welcome
all comments—good and bad.
The work was ours, therefore
the faults are, too.
In the absence of the manag­ing
heads, the publication of
this issue would have been im­possible
without the ready and
efficient cooperation which the
entire staff gave. All praise
should be given to them, and
all censure to

Auburn Defeats
Tenn. 20 To 7
Turning in their most spectacu­lar
victory of the year, the Au­burn
Tigers, paced by the brilli­ant
broken field running of Jim-mie
Fenton and George Kenmore,
smashed over the Tennessee Vols
to the tune of 20-7, before a crowd
of 18,000 at Legion Field Satur­day.
The entire Auburn line turned
in a sterling performance against
the Vols, not letting up once dur­ing
the entire 60 minutes of play.
It was one of the finest lines in
all the history of Auburn teams.
It is impossible to single out any
Tiger linesman for individual hon­ors,
as they performed like a
single unit.
The Bengals covered 255 yards
by land, Fenton playing his finest
game in three years, picking up
121 yards and Kenmore adding
109 yards. Auburn made 19 first
downs to Tennessee's 6.
Jimmie Fenton had his. day of
days, and rightfully deserved the
loving cup presented by Blue Key
to the most outstanding player.
He punted the spheriod a mile; he
ran all over the gridiron; he threw
passes, and he ran interference
and played a fine defensive game
as well. Kenmore, the triple-threat
sophomore, also came
through with flying colors and
came within a vote of tying Fenton
for the individual honors of the
game. There was also Billy Hitch­cock,
who returned to his old
form, and it was he that made
the third touchdown possible.
Tennessee stopped five Auburn
scoring chances before the Tig­ers'
offense started its magnifi­cent
parade of touchdowns in the
second, third and fourth periods.
The first tally came after three
quick plays had carried the ball

Pep Meeting To Be
Tomorrow Night
With the hardest game of the
current season staring those great
Auburn Tigers directly in the
whiskers, Auburn student-fans
will turn out en mass to the pep
rally at 8:15 Thursday night in
Langdon Hall. At 9:00 p. m. the
same night the Orange and Blue
gridders will take leave of the
Plains and prepare themselves to
conquor L. S. U.'s Bayou Tigers
A last chance pre-game to show
enthusiasm that is due the Tiger
aggregation will present itself
Thursday night.
Led by the Auburn Band, stu­dents
will parade the length of
College Street and assemble at the
railroad station, where loyal sup­porters
of the Orange and Blue
will be led by Head Cheerleader
Jack Adams and his staff in fa­miliar
Auburn yells and cheers.
Says Cheerman Adams, "There
is not a doubt in my mind that
those Auburn Tigers will emerge
victorious on Saturday if the stu­dent
body will) do their part
Thursday night."
Airliner To Be Here
Saturday, Sunday
A tri-motored airliner will be
at the Auburn-Opelika airport on
Saturday and Sunday to carry
passengers on sight-seeing trips
over the surrounding territory.
This is the same airliner which
flew at the local airport last
spring.
This airliner is piloted by Les
Musgrove, veteran pilot who has
been engaged in aviation for the
past ten years. The plane is fully
equipped for both night and day
flying as required by the govern­ment,
having an electric starter
for each motor, knee action land­ing
gear, full 35-inch airwheels,
retractable landing lights, safety
flares, lavatory room and sound
proof cabin.
A high powered open plane
piloted by "Curly" Tatum will ac­company
the airliner here and do
some difficult stunts. A sound car
on the field will entertain with
music and keep the public well-informed
upon events.
A sliding scale of prices will be.
in effect both days beginning at
40 cents at 9:00 a. m. and increas­ing
every few hours until mid-afternoon
when the price of all
rides will be 70 cents. Special
night flights will be made both
nights with the price of tickets
being 80 cents.
The airliner and the stunting
plane were brought here through
the efforts of Sid Bruce, local
agent for Woco Pep gasoline.

Francina Bass Named To Represent
Auburn At Christmas Carnival
Francina Bass, third year student in the School of Science
and Literature from Gadsden, was selected as the Auburn
Princess to attend the Christmas Festival in Birmingham
on Nov. 25, 26, and 27. Miss Bass is a transfer from Char­lotte
College in Rome, Ga.
The selection was made by a committee appointed by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham, which
is in charge of the Christmas Festival. The local committee
was composed of James Buntin, Editor of the Plainsman,
Chairman; J. A. Blackburn, president of the Kiwanis
Club; Mrs. Elizabeth Deloney, president of the Business
and Professional Women's Club; Buck .Young, president
of the Auburn Junior Chamber of Commerce; A. F. Nickel,

They Also Serve
When the campus selects i t s . leaders,
i t looks over t h e various fields from which
it chooses t h em and logically selects the
men on top. But what is overlooked is the
fact that there are many factors besides
visible ability which contribute towards
making a Spade or an ODK or what have
you.
We know a senior who came here as a
freshman from a school t h a t was not very
good. His preparation was poor, his self-confidence
poorer. He barely managed to
get by during his first year. His grades
were poor.
But that year had been enough to con­quer
t h e great inertia of poor preparation,
and in his second year his average went
skywards. For the last t h r e e years his
scholastic standing—be t h a t significant or
not—has stood between 92 a n d 96.
Due to lack of money h e was forced to do
so much outside work t h a t extra-curricula
activities were impossible for him. Even
so, he applied his intelligence and energy
so well t h a t for his j u n i o r and senior years
he had a l i t t l e spending money after all
his expenses were paid. He didn't have a
great deal of fun. His studies were about
his only recreation.
When Spades taps, h e will not be one of .
them. Nor will h e be ODK or Blue Key or
so on down t h e line. He h a s never dreamed
of being among them.
Every campus has such men, we sup­pose.
They are so burdened down with
scholastic and outside work that "activi­t
i e s " are virtually impossible for them.
For them, selection b y some r a n k i n g honor
f r a t e r n i t y is something to be desired, but
never achieved. Satisfaction in t h e i r heart
at work well done is t h e i r only reward.
Somehow, t h e case of this man reminds
us of the Biblical reference to those who
were "left behind w i t h t h e baggage" while
t h e i r friends went on to the battlefront
and to glorious conquests. Like these Bib­lical
characters, the burdened-down col­lege
men try to swallow their bitterness
and hide their disappointment. But some­times,
we are sure, the bitterness refuses
to be swallowed, and the knowledge that
"they also serve who only stand and wait"
does l i t t l e to lessen t h e disappointment.
To us, these men are t h e real heroes of
college life, not t h e one we call "great"—
t h e grand marchers, the campus politi­cians,
t h e big shots, the football stars. Of
course, all these are great in their own
way and we honor and admire them, but
in our heart we give greater honor and
deeper admiration to t h e "forgotten men"
of campus life, who, licked before they
started, have never stopped their fight.

Gift Books For AIL ^
We are firm believers in t h e custom of
giving presents and firm supporters of all
holidays perpetuating the custom. Per­haps
it is not too e a r l y to give a few sug­gestions
as to books that might be pre­sented
to some of our leaders and popular
heroes:
For Franklin Roosevelt, "Quo Vadis."
For Walter Winchell, " P r i v a t e Lives."
For the Republican Party, "Wake Up
and Live."
For the Duke of Windsor, A collection
of the plays of Shakespeare containing
t h e following: "Much Ado About Noth­ing,"
"The Merry Wives of Windsor,"
"The Tempest," and "All's Well That
Ends Well."
For Mrs. Simpson, "Death Comes to
t h e Archbishop."
For May West, "Gray's Anatomy."
For the United States Congress, "In the
Steps of the Master."
For Stalin, "Dead Men Tell No Tales."
For Adolf Hitler, "How to Win Friends
and Influence People."
For James A. Farley, "The Big Money."
F o r - t h e Dionne Quintuplets, "If I Had
Four Apples."
On Young Men's Poetry
Of late the Plainsman has been some­what
perturbed, to say the least, by the
volume of poetry which has been coming
in from young Romeos who want it pub­lished
with appropriate dedications to
t h e i r Ladies Fair.
Now we love p o e t r y and we love you all
and all that, and we're sure t h a t each of
you mean well when you w r i t e lyrics for
your Lovey-Dovey. However, we do not
feel that the columns of The Plainsman
ought to have to do your wooing. If you
Romeos simply can't do your own woo-pitching,
if y o u ' r e honestly unable to stand
t h e gaff, we might help you out. J u s t send
around the lady's name, age, qualifica­tions,
etc., and a reasonable sum t o defray
date expenses. If t h e above are all satis­factory,
some member of t h e staff will go
get the gal and do your loving for you,
and do it well.
We offer a prize collection of Lover-Men
available for such emergencies. Look over
t h e list at t h e top left-hand corner of this
page and take your choice. It was our in­tention
to make out a table of r a t i n g so
t h a t you would know what you were get­ting.
However, not one staff member can
possibly be rated below the r a n k of A-l
Lover-Man. So kindly d r aw a name out of
t h e hat if you wish to specify your substi­t
u t e .
We a r e amply p r e p a r e d to meet t h e flood
of requests which we feel sure are coming
from all you Romeos who have been send­ing
us your "moon-June-spoon" stuff. In
fact, we've hired t h r e e n ew secretaries to
handle t h e correspondence alone. Remem­ber,
though, that we're making this offer
only from the kindness of our own hearts.
If you just can't do your own wooing,
we'll substitute, provided the circum­stances
meet with our approval. However,
t h e above plan is the only way you can
persuade us to do it for you. We absolutely
refuse to do it via the columns of The
Plainsman.
Acting Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
This is an opportunity I have been waiting
for for a long time. Since those two maniacs,
Buntin and Workman, have nothing to do with
this issue, I hope you will give a fellow-work­er
on the staff a chance to say his say re­garding
them.
Whot on the campus can gaze on the re­pulsive
mugs of the editors, or hear them
howl with infantine laughter at some joke
as old as the father of Methuselah, or listen
to the endless stream of baby-babble pour­ing
from their mouths, and say that they are
human?
It happens to be my sad fate to know the
life story of the editors. Workman weighed
only ten ounces at birth and was kept in a
fruit jar until he was four years old. I sup­pose
the only reason he lived was to prove
to the world that Darwin was right. His first
words, at the age of six, were neither gob-goo
nor da-da, but sounded like nothing more
than a goldfish trying to say "Tadwallager
Twitchanitch."
Buntin was coming up about this time, too.
He was a little child and grew in inverse
ratio to the progress made by an undernour­ished
century plant—slowly, in other words—
and was as afir to look on as a hunch-back
rattlesnake.
To say that the boys were problem children
would be putting it mildly. Once the two of
them were caught in a rat-trap and nearly
killed by the janitor, who was near-sighted.
Then, too, when playing on the sidewalk,
they were always falling off the curb and,
because of their small size, could not'get out
of the street and back on the walk. It was al­ways
difficult to find doll clothes small enough
to fit them.
They were aways getting stuck on fly-pap­er,
and this was the cause of their being
stretched to normal size. Someone tried to
pull them off, but their feet refused to come.
Jn tugging at the two varmints, they were
stretched to normal size. However, their
brains remained the same size. So they are
still wandering around the world, vaguely
wondering what it is all about.
It is an insult to the newspaper profes­sion
to call them "editors." For instance, sev­eral
days ago they came puffing into the
newspaper office with an editorial, addressed
to the senior class, that they had written. It
ran something like this:
"Opportunity knocked at your door today.
It knocked yesterday. It will knock tomor­row.
That is the trouble with the world.
There is too much knocking, and the one
who is playing dummy at bridge is too lazy
to answer.
"As we have looked into your faces these
four years, we have been reminded of a poem
that is not fit to be quoted in any company.
Instead, let us give you a few lines from the
great poet, Wordsmith:
You do me wrong who say I neck no more,
When once I slap the whiskers off your chin,
For today I'm ready to meet you at the door
And bid you try the same old trick again.
I could go on and on for many more pages,
but I know your space is limited. Thank you
very much for giving me a chance to speak.
Every good wish to you if you print this.
Gratefully,
A staff member.

scrap with even a bit of hide, he delves
deep into his bag of superlatives to describe
Auburn's victory—which is only as should be.
And though the idea has been broached
before—and is just as far from realization
as ever—we would very much like to see Au­burn
and Bama play this year—and every
year. After listening to talk of a resumption
of athletic relationship between the two
schools for the past four years, we are still
very much at sea as to why such a resump­tion
cannot be brought about. Particularly
this year when both schools have the best
teams in their respective histories, would a
game between them be appropriate. The pos­sibility
of such a game occuring, however, is
so remote as to render the idea fantastic, par­ticularly
since Alabama is looking beyond
the local scene in the football world. They
already have the scent of roses in their nos­trils.
Tomorrow is Armistice Day, and while half
the world celebrates the end of a war to pre­serve
Democracy the other half talks war and
Griffith John School,
Hankow, China
7th October, 1937
Editor,
The Auburn Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
I venture to hope that this appeal which
I am sending to you across the Pacific from
distant China will find you in a responsive
mood. I am a college student, and, in com­mon
with all students of the new generation,
I have entertained bright hopes for the fu­ture.
But now an evil spirit has come to mar
the pleasant outlook of students in China and
to imperil world civilization. Our modern
•civilization should bridge oceans and conti­nents,
bring human being into closer contact
with one another, promote better under­standing
between men, and refine human re­lationships.
But today in China scores of bombing
planes daily fly over our country, leaving
death and destruction in their wake. Thou­sands
of non-combatants in all our big cities i
are being killed and wounded, and in the
stricken districts horrible sights of mangled
bodies and heart-rending grief are to be wit­nessed.
The district of Wuhan where I live
has already been bombed and will inevitably
be the object of future bombings. Many
children have been made motherless and
hundreds have been made homeless. Our
city is the center of two hundred millions,
and it is to us that they look for help.
I, now, standing on the footing of a fellow
human being and student, appeal to the gen­erosity
of the students of your college over the
sea for help in this, our hour of need.
I am sending you the appeal of the Red
Cross committee showing the way in which
you can help us. I wish to assure your stu­dents
that we shall be deeply grateful for
any assistance which they may be able to
give to the Red Cross.
Sincerely,
Lin Teh-Wei
P. S.—We students here have all decided on
the above letter, and are busy today writing
copies of it to the leading schools in America
and Britain. I hope you will write and tell
me what you have been able to do about it.
Editor's note:— Enclosed were two letters
from The International Red Cross Committee
Eor Central China, appealing for help and
asking that telegraphic transfers of money
or bank drafts be made out to the.Treasurer
of the International Red Cross, Hongkong
and Shanghai Bank, or National City Bank,
Hankow, China. The letters stated that the
Drgnization included in its membership the
British and American Consuls and their en­tire
staff.
fills the air and the newspapers with cries
of "wolf." Most of the talk coming from the
professional pacifists and militarists of one
sort or another. And being neither, we would
still like to question Bagby's cartoon of last
week depicting R. O. T. C. cadets as being so
many lambs being led to slaughter. The car­toon,
in a sense, is particularly pointless. In
the event of another major conflict every
able man would be called upon to defend
his country. Is it not better that we have as
many trained men as possible if such an event
were to occur? Even the most rabid idealists
must now realize that disarmament is naught
but a dream. We don't quite see how R. O.
T. C. training makes one a prime candidate
for the role of cannon fodder.
We have been called down by a number of
people for our outburst against the Dirty
Two, but for once we stick to our guns, ad­mitting
but one mistake. In referring to the
mental capabilities of the authors we made
the comparison to sea-level. It should have
been the gutter.
And because for today the Two in question
will take a vacation, this has got to be longer
to fill up the space thus vacated. From here
our friend Mr. Todd—he of the lost pants
—takes over.
Granted—that Ed Godbold took over the
editing of this issue like a veteran. As the
lay-out looks now, this ought to be a fine
issue. And there's enough copy in the bas­ket
to put out an eight-page issue, I believe.
Good work, Godbold.
Somehow, this office seems more healthy
with Buntin and Workman absent. And don't
think that their absence makes us fonder of
them. On the contrary—
Jimmy Fenton was easily the most out­standing
player on the field Saturday and well
deserved that trophy. His playing this year
should win for him a post on the All-South­eastern
eleven, if not Ail-American mention.

THIS WEEK: — CHESTERFIELD;
KERENSKY ON STALINISM; PLEA­SURE
CRAFT; THE BAND; AIR
TRANSPORTATION; THE WIND­SORS
AND LABOR
"A man is fit for neither business nor plea­sure
who either cannot, or does not, com­mand
and direct his attention to the present
object, and, in some degree, banish for that
time, all other objects from his thoughts."
Lord Chesterfield.
Like so many phrasings in Lord Chester­field's
"Letters to His Son," this admonition
kind of makes all of our consciences hurt.
It is excellent in substance and it hits right
at the heart of the day dreamer, or better
still, us day dreamers.
NEW INTERNATIONAL — Alexander
Kerensky startled the world Saturday by re­leasing
a treatise on the Russian outlook.
His writing bluntly stated that Stalinism
had killed itself and it was only a question
of time before the whole setup would topple.
We liberty lovers hope Kerensky is right,
in fact we .hope that the Russian people are
so awakened to their plight that they will
overthrow the "reign of terror" and set up
a social democracy that will make Russian
people component parts of a national gov­ernment,
rather than mere subjects of a self­ish
imperialist as they now are.
For 20 years Bolshevism has been pre­dominant
in Russia, and the people should
be well fed up on being told how to vote,
speak and act.
A new regime, invoking more personal
liberty to the Russian people as a whole,
would do more for their progress than any
one thing that they might do, as Stalinism
has virtually killed the initiative of its sub­jects.
DID YOU KNOW — That this weal­thy
nation of ours boasts of more than 1,-
500,000 pleasure boats, and the annual expense
of maintaining these pleasure craft is in ex­cess
of 100,000,000. 'Tis quite an industry with­in
itself.
NEWS LOCAL — That great Auburn
band has broken away from its old style and is
featuring several distinctive features.
In Birmingham the band introduced a
"swing" version that put feet to patting
throughout the stands. It was different —
pleasingly so, and much favorable comment
about it has been heard.
Too, the band is now showing its versa­tility
by setting instruments aside and form­ing
a big glee club, which sounds fine indeed.
Commendationse are in order for the man
responsible for this decided change for the
better. The public has always thought well
of the Auburn band, but with the addition
of these new touches, many of those who
heard the band Saturday proclaim it the
best Auburn band they've heard.
OFF THE RECORD — The McCarran Lea
bills, proposing to place all air transporta­tion
under the supervision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, seems quite in line
with progressive legislation. Under prevail­ing
conditions passenger and express air
lines are free to change routes, fares and ser­vices,
and have been taking advantage of
this without anyone's consultation. If these
bills pass, they will assure the consuming
public of standardized air service and should
be a great step to the front for air transpor­tation
as a whole.
SATIRE — The very last straw is that the
embarrassing intimations of American labor
force the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to
postpone a trip to America because our labor
bodies do not approve the policies of the
Duke's tour-manager, Charles Bedaux.
It seems more than a shame for any Amer-"
ican group to be so hostile to the man who
a few months ago was emperor of our mother
country and the great commonwealth of the
British Empire.
Labor should be content with its job of
picketing American industry, but apparently
she seeks international achievements.
Well, its criticism of Charles Bedaux nul­lified
a planned trip that would have been
one of the greatest goodwill gestures in his­tory,
and deprived the curious American peo­ple
of seeing the renowned couple that dom­inated
front pages the world over for weeks.
NEWS UNIQUE — In last Wednesday's is­sue
of the Auburn Plainsman, in a column en­titled
News and Views, there appeared a rank
pervarication. As the item appeared it said
"America's argest corporation is the Met­ropolitan

Frankly, we think someone
ought to know about it—the Dean
of Women or the Discipline Com­mittee
or somebody. For having
boys breaking in Smith Hall is
bad enough, but when girls take
to exploring the men's dormitory,
things are getting pretty bad;
A few days ago an Auburn stu­dent
was taking his shower, on the
second floor of the dormitory and
singing right happily as he did.
Just when he reached one of the
highest notes in his song, he got
what was probably the shock of
his life, for he heard what was
clearly a feminine giggle coming
from the hall. Poking his head
cautiously out the door, he saw
a young lady, obviously amused
at his singing, sauntering non-chantly
down the hall of that place
where no women are supposed to
go.
She was meandering down the
halls as calmly as if her own
father had built the dormitory
and owned it. The thing that im­pressed
her most was the aston­ishingly
large number of boys who
gathered in just as few seconds
after she was discovered there.
Not at all flustered by the mob
of gaping students, she remained
cool. She was the acme of dignity.
Self-possession was sticking out
all over her compact little body,
and she was clearly at ease.
At first, perhaps, she had been
a trifle embarrassed, as might
have been expected from one of
the weaker sex in such a predica­ment,
but she soon regained her
composure. Upon being literally
volleyed with questions as name,
where from, telephone number,
what do you want, she became
quite a garrulous little person and
explained that she was just plain
interested in large • buildings and
had always wanted to see inside
this one, anyway. It seemed that it
was such a large building and the
wide open doors just beckoned her
inside. The first thing she knew,
she was there and was getting

FLOODLIGHTING DAVY JONES'
LOCKER
When Capt. John D. Craig, deep-sea diver and
photographer, descends to the black depths of
the Irish Channel to photograph the salvage
operations of the Lusilania, Davy Jones'
Locker will he floodlighted for the first time in
history.
The hulk of the ill-fated Lusitania lies buried in
shifting sand at a depth of approximately 300
feet, with a treasure in her coffers valued at
between $4,000,000 and $15,000,000. To illumi­nate
the wreck for filming, the General Electric
Laboratories in Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio de­veloped
a 5000-watl lamp, built to withstand a
pressure of 500 pounds to the square inch—
more than three limes the pressure believed to
be.around the vessel. Capt. Craig will use a
battery of 12 of these lamps mounted on a
submarine stage to floodlight the inky depths.
So widespread are the uses of electricity that
the development of an underwater lamp merely
illustrates the problems encountered by the G-E
engineers. Many of these men were on the
college campus but a few years ago.
MODERN LILLIPUT
Wire, three thousandths of an inch in diameter,
flattened between two polished rollers to a thick­ness
of nine ten-thousandths of an inch; pivots
ground to a point and then rounded to a radius
half the diameter of a human hair, yet still
sharper than the sharpest needle; sapphires not
as large as the head of a pin. Such Lilliputian
parts are to be found in the West Lynn plant
of the General Electric Company.
A pivot with a point two thousandths of an
inch in diameter, yet it supports a pressure of
many thousands of pounds to the Square inch.
Hundreds of such parts are assembled to pro­duce
insirumcn(s:—instruments that measure
small flows of current, great flows of current,
light, sound, vibration, strain and time. These
instruments are so sensitive that they measure
the smallest quantities, yet sturdy enough to
withstand the severe vibrations of a locomotive
cab or an airplane dashboard.
The design and manufacture of precision instru­ments
is but one of the many fields which are
open to technically trained men in the General
Electric Company. •
along just fine until a bunch of
nasty ole college boys started ask­ing
her all kinds of questions.
She refused to be led out of the
building, too, and merely stood
planted in the middle of the hall,
naively clasping her hands behind
her and staring at the ring of
boys around her with great big
eyes. Finally, however, someone
produced a chocolate bar, and she
permitted herself to be led out
of the building, golden hair and
all, never for a moment losing her"
four-year-old poise.
Birmingham Theta Chi Club

Architecture And Allied Arts Building
Proves Interesting to Staff Writer

By RUBY HELEN STOKES
Believe it or not, (not by Rip­ley)
the average student seldom
enters buildings in which he does
not have classes. In case the read­er
wonders just why he should
go-wandering about in places
where he has no business, I might
suggest that he go. for pleasure.
The manner in which other stu­dents
go about their work should
be a matter of much interest to
those in different fields of study.
While roaming leisurely over
the campus the other day, I dis­covered
the Building of Archi­tecture
and Allied Arts. Now ev­ery
Freshman has had this build­ing
pointed out to him, but the
wager is that every Senior has
never ventured therein.
The first group that I came
upon were seniors in the school
of Architecture. Fortunately, I
discovered them "en charette,"
somewhat the equivalent to "cram­ming,"
or compiling the work on
which many previous weeks of
research have been spent.
The term "en charette" is of
French derivation. In Paris, art
students work in groups, not at
the college but in some cheaply-rented
shack under the direction
of a patron. When the time comes
for professional inspection, the
artists-to-be hire small push carts
to put their drawings in, and con­tinue
to splash on the paint as
they journey onward to the col­lege.
Local Artists Show Their
Paintings I n Exhibit
Frank Applebee, Roy Staples,
A. E. James, and F. W. Lincoln
of the School of Architecture and
Allied Arts at A. P. I. will repre­sent
Auburn at the eigth annual
exhibition of the Alabama Art
League held at Huntington College
Montevallo. '
Prof. Applebee has struck a
pleasant note in his "Two Boats."
Prof. Staples and Prof. Lincoln
have contributed some very clever
water-colors, and the oils of Prof.
James have received much favor­able
comment.
The exhibition, which will con­tinue
through this month, is be­ing
held in the Houghton Memorial
Library at Huntington. Generally,
the exhibition is held in the Mont­gomery
Museum of Fine Arts, but
it is closed now for repairs and
will reopen early in January.
For seven years, the Montgom­ery
Museum has been visited an-
The room in which the Archi­tecture
students "work is crowd­ed
with large, individual tables.
At one end of the room is a basin
filled with water, in which the
sheets of paper used for drawing
are dipped. Art gums, drawing
pencils, and color pots lying scat­tered
over the room help to lend
an artistic atmosphere.1
The whole aim of the Archi­tecture
department is to develop
the student's own conception and
talent. Instead of memorizing
formulas and rules, he looks up
the. subject on which his problem
has been assigned in the library,
and develops the matter accord­ingly.
After making preliminary sket­ches
of the building or structure
on which he is working, he is
ready for the final drawing. This
is done on huge white sheets of
paper, which have been wet,
stretched, glued, and allowed to
dry on boards of corresponding
size.
The architect is concerned with
both constructions and design. In
other words, he must know how to
make a building that will stand,
and how to make it beautiful. He
is the man who is responsible for
such elaborate structures as wind­ing
stairs and balconies. He is the
man who, from first-year lettering
and abstract design, designs and
constructs our towering office
buildings, and our homes along
beautiful, sturdy, and appealing
lines.

nually by many art lovers and
during its November anniversary,
exhibition, many school children
have attended. The authorities of
Huntington have generously loan­ed
Houghton Memorial Library in
order that the exhibition may be
held this year.
Because of limited space at
Huntington, the exhibitors have
been allowed to enter only "'one
large or two small pictures. Hence,
although the number of exhibits
is smaller, the quality is outstand­ing.

Morris Hall Issues Last Call For New
Student Glomerata Pictures
With the record number of approximately 2400 pictures
taken for this year's Glomerata, Editor Morris Hall an­nounced
today that he had almost finished photographing
individual students.
Contracts with fraternities, sororities, literary and tech­nical
associations have been made, and group pictures of
these organizations and of the class officers will be made
in the near future. This year's annual will contain pictures
of many organizations which heretofore have not ap­peared
in such editions.
Editor Hall states that the new office of the Glomerata
staff, located on the second floor of the power building,
will be open from four to five every afternoon through
Friday in order that those who have not had their pic­ture
taken for the annual will have the opportunity to
arrange for the pictures taken last year to be used in this
edition. This will be the last opportunity of this nature
to be offered.
