Semi-Weekly Tuesday Edition / ©he Auburn plainsman Hear Cavaliers Thursday VOL. LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 NUMBER 19 Kryl, Celebrated Conductor, To Appear Here November 14 Great Cornetist Is One Of Music World's Most Picturesque Characters Bohumir Kryl, the celebrated conductor who will appear here at Graves Center (WPA Hall) on Monday evening, Nov. 14, with his Symphony Orchestra is one of the most picturesque characters in the music world. The career of Bohumir Kryl reads like a chapter from almost unbelievable fiction. At the early age of twelve, Kryl began his career of public entertainment in the Winter Gardens of Berlin and from that day to this, has become an outstanding personality. Kryl Is Great Cornetist When he was thirteen, he worked his way to America by the means of his violin. He is master of numerous instruments, but confines his playing at the present to the cornet. With this instrument, he does the impossible—playing two octaves lower than any other living cornetist. He plays with a certain contempt for the difficulties that often defeat other mu- Kryl scorns defeat in any line of endeavor. Aside from his mastery of music, he has attained distinction in the arts of painting and sculpturing, and at the present time, owns one of the greatest private collectios of paintings in the country. He has also established himself as an able business man, having been president of a large bank in the Chicago area. Kryl is the father of two beautiful daughters and is the grandfather of six lovely children. One daughter, Josephine, married Paul Taylor White, composer and director of the Rochester, New York Civic Symphony Orchestra. Kryl, with his two daughters, Marie and Josephine, one an accomplished pianist and the other a violinist, toured Europe and America in recitals. Is World Famed Conductor Kryl's is a versatile personality. In his symphony Orchestra, the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is presenting a world famous symphony conductor and a world famous orchestra. Kryl's artistry and superb directing unite into a composite of orchestral music that is unexcelled. A great musical treat is waiting in store for the public when Dorothy Dickerson, the world-famous soprano of radio and grand opera, will appear at this concert as solist. Recordings of selections on the Kryl Symphony Orchestra to be presented here Monday evening-, Nov. 14, will be played this evening at 8 p. m. in Student Center for the benefit of those who wish to "preview" the program and to hear the explanatory comments which will be given by Lawrence Barnett, director of the Auburn Glee Club. Joe Turner, president of the Auburn Music Club, has arranged for the playing of the recordings.

On Drake Adhering to the annual custom, the Auburn and Georgia Tech freshman football teams will tie up at 2 o'clock, Friday, Nov. 11, Armistice Day on Drake Field. Last year's battle between the rodent squads, which was played in the mud, and which featured a punting duel between Dick Mc- Gowen and Neil Cavette, who are now sophomore stars of their respective squads and who will a-gain match toes tomorrow in Atlanta, ended in a bitter 6-6 tie. This year's Baby Bengals will be out to avenge that tie, and they stand a better than even chance of doing so. The Auburn rats are exceptionally strong this year, having mauled the Southern freshman team around to the tune of a sweet 25- 7 licking, and they have also been giving the varsity plenty of trouble on occasions in scrimmages. The whole first team, which includes Samford and Cremer at ends, Chalkley and Rush at tackles, Costellos and Deal at guards, Burns at center, Crimmins at quarterback, Cheatam at full back, and Irby and Johnson at halfbacks, are standouts. The Baby Jackets have two scintillating halfbacks in Johnny Bosch and Bill Massengale. It was largely through their work that the Tech freshmen ran wild over Gordan Cadets to the tune of 3$ to 6. Tech's lineup for the game Friday will probably be Arthur and Webb at end, Lee and Muerth at tackle, Tipton and Hood at guard, Wright at center, Lamb at quarterback, Bosch at left half, Pair at right half, and Sanders at fullback. The Friday following the Tech fray the Baby Tigers journey to Dothan to encounter the Florida freshman Gators in Wiregrass Stadium. Junior Letterman May Queen Election To Be Wednesday Co-Ed Selected To Rule Over Spring Festival The Auburn May Queen, who will rule over the annual Spring Festival presented by the co-eds, will be elected Wednesday by vote of the women students. Voting will take place in front of Langdon Hall from 9 a. m. to 5:15 p. m. The town girls and the sororities will each be represented toy one candidate, a junior or senior co-ed. There will be an important meeting of all non-sorority girls at Smith Hall tonight at 7 p. m. Non-sorority candidate for May Queen will be chosen. The girl who is chosen as May Queen will have her picture in the Glomerata and will preseide over the Spring Festival, which this year is sponsored by Sphinx with the assistance of the Auburn Players. Officers of Sphinx are: Sara Lee Banks, president; Jane Bil-lingsley, vice president; and Annie Jo McCrea, secretary; Wood-row Kilgore, treasurer. The purposes of Sphinx are to recognize girls who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership, personality, and service. Its object is to eacourage those qualities in girls on the campus. It elects members the second semester of their junior year. Sphinx also sponsors Oracles, the honor society for freshmen women. NOTICE IRC members will meet in front of the chemistry building at 12:- 45 Wednesday to have a Glomerata picture made.

'Miss Auburn' To Be Named At Dance Co-Ed Winning Election To Be Named December 10 By Roy Taylor Managing Editor Yesterday, Auburn students went to the polls, variously situated at the Main Gate and in Aunt Hattie's emporium, and cast their votes for the co-ed to be given the honorary title of "Miss Auburn." The polls were in charge of the Glomerata staff, headed by Perry Schwartz, Editor, and Curty Farley, Business Manager. Voting during the day was heavier than expected, they said, in spite of the slight flurries of rain during the election. The announcement of the winner will not be made until Dec. 10, at the ODK-"A" Club dance following the frosh cake race that afternoon. The newly elected "Miss Auburn" will present the big cake to the winner of the distance struggle, and the other members of her court will present the cakes to the other 24 freshmen who crossed the line following the winner. "Miss Auburn" will head the beauty section of the 1939 Glomerata, and the title is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a co-ed at Auburn. In contradiction to a previous announcement that the Publications Board would be responsible for the judging of the election, it was announced by the Glomerata that the judges for the contest would be named by the Publications Board secretly to avoid mass lynching of the judges by irate co-eds. Courageous Tigers Downed By Tough Villanova Wildcats Nick Basca's Accurate Passes Deciding Factor Against Tiger Team By Boots Stratford The good right arm of Nick Basca, Villanova sophomore left half, beat a courageous Auburn Tiger Saturday afternoon. Basca held the difference between the Tigers and the Wildcats in his sharply accurate passes, for he threw three touchdown passes and one more to the three yard stripe that immediately resulted in another six pointer for the undefeated Villanova eleven. Statistics often lie, but Saturday, they held the essence of the game. The Plainsman out-gained the Wildcats 183 yards to 114 and made 15 first downs to 11, i were bested in aerial gains, 249 to 60, and there lies the story of the ball game. Villanova Off To Good Start Villanova assumed a quick 12 point lead in the first quarter, as Frank Bukowski snagged two of Basca's heaves in quick succession for touchdowns, but Auburn came back in the second period when Dick McGowan flipped a 20-yard aerial effort into the waiting arms of Gus Pearson in the end zone. The tide of battle, however, swung Villanova's way in the third quarter as they tallied two more scores and booted one extra point. The weary and battle-bruised Tigers were still in there pitching at the end, though. They refused to give up, and, leg-weary and exhausted, they fought their way down to the Wildcats one-yard stripe from which point Charley Haynsworth battered his way a-cross the double stripes. Other scoring threats were frustrated and as the two teams trailed off the field in the gatherings dusk, the big scoreboard at Shibe Park told off the score at 25 points for the Villanova Wildcats and 12 for the gallant Plainsmen of Auburn. But the scoreboard could not tell of the brave hearts that fought on and on and down to the last whistle against the overwhelming odds of a fine football team and against the jinx of injuries and other misfortunes. Win or lose, a football team is playing real football when they play as Auburn did Saturday. Cavaliers Play For 'A' Club Dance; Gigantic tSU Parade Is Scheduled Fall All-Campus Track Meet Takes Place November 10 The fall all-campus track meet is to be held Thursday, Nov. 10, 3 p. m. Entry sheets can be signed on the bulletin boards in the gym, Samford Hall. Only a few have entered this event so far, but it is expected that many more will sign up by Thursday. Some of the winners in last year's meet were: Stephenson, high jump, 5 feet 1; Stephenson, shot put, 39 feet 9 inches; Single-tary, broad jump, 18 feet 4 inches; Mitchell, 2 miles, 11:10.5; Moses, 1 mile, 5.00.5; Drake, 880, 2:13.8; Brown, 440, 57.4; Cockrell, 100 yard, 10.8. ALUMNI OF MAGIC CITY COOPERATE IN EVENT "We are endeavoring to make the L. S. U. parade the largest and most colorful Auburn parade," said Joe Pate, Birmingham a l u m n u s in charge of parade arrangements. In a letter to the Plainsman Mr. Pate said that Birmingham alumni have responded perfectly, and with proper student support, the parade should be the largest one Auburn has ever staged. Parade To Begin At 11:30 ' The parade is to start from the Terminal station at 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning, shortly after the train from Auburn arrives. As usual "that great Auburn band" will be the big feature, and the procession will follow it. According to the estimates of Birmingham alumni, there will be 250 or more alumni cars in the parade. Mr. Page said that they were hoping that the students would contribute another 100 cars. The student support to which he referred in his letter was student cooperation in the parade. They want every student in Birmingham to take part in the parade, either in a car or on foot. The parade will begin as soon as the Auburn band arrives at the Terminal Station at 11:30 Saturday morning. Automobiles will be lined up starting on 25th Street and Fifth Avenue North and extending northward on 25th Street toward Sixth Avenue. As the band marches down Fifth Avenue the automobiles will follow. The parade will end in front of the Redmont Hotel where there will be a pep session under the direction of Charlie O'Reilly, Head Cheerleader. Auburn students who live in Birmingham, and who have access to automobiles, are requested to decorate their cars and have them down at the teaminal station by l'l o'clock, as it will take some time to line up the cars in such a way that there will be a minimum of congestion. Ticket Sales Are Good Reports from Birmingham state that ticket sales have been even better than expected, and it is estimated that the crowd will approximate a sellout. Birmingham merchants have joined in the spirit, and have placed "Welcome Auburn" signs in their windows, and a number of them have planned special features for the city's guests. "The students will receive a royal welcome," said Pate, "and we are looking forward to having a real delegation from the Plains." Biggest Player CHESTER. SUL-CEJZ A U 8 t/&A/ TACKLE CHESTER BULGER, a sophomore from Rumford, Me., is the largest member of Auburn's 1938 football squad. Bulger, a husky and agile linesman, weighs 210 pounds. Auburn Sports Writer Gives Notes On Tiger Players, Team By Elmer Salter Second successive Notre Dame-trained coach to guide the Auburn the athletic department at the Tigers in football is Jack Meagher, who has been head man of Plains since 1934. Preceding Coach Meagher at Auburn was Chet Wynne, who resigned to assume a dual athletic role at the University of Kentucky. * * * Largest number of games ever played by an Auburn football team in one season is 11. Both the 1936 and 1937 Tigers saw action this number of times. Auburn's 1936 grid record was seven wins, two ties and two losses and the 1937 Plainsmen won six, tied three and bowed twice. * * * Highest scoring football machine ever to wear Auburn's Orange and Blue is the Tigers great outfit of 1920, which chalked up 318 points in bowling over six opponents and losing to two in eight contests. Winner by several inches, Norman Perry, piano-legged halfback from Atlanta, Ga., is the shortest member of Auburn's 19- 38 football squad. The squatty Perry, who excels in several departments, is five feet, three and three-quarter inches tall. He weighs 172. * * * Complete "football records of the Auburn Tigers up to the 1938 campaign reveals 193 victories, 120 losses and 25 ties in 338 engagements. In these 338 scraps, the Tigers scored 5482 points against 2725 for their foes. * * * Undefeated football teams have worn Auburn's Orange and Blue seven out of 46 campaigns. The Tigers undefeated seasons were in 1893, 1900, 1904, 1908, 1913, 1914, and 1932. * * * "Baby" members of Auburn's grid squad this fall are Halfback Paul Ellis, Atlanta, Ga., and Fullback Ted Fillette, Mobile. Each is 18 years of age. * * * Tallest Auburn football player this season is Tackle Gordon Mac- Eachern, a sophomore. MacEach-ern, who weighs 204, stands six feet, four inches. * * * ' Able to scale only 150 pounds after partaking of a heavy meal, John Davis, senior quarterback from Birmingham, is the midget of Auburn's football squad this year. Even though he is not a giant in size, the dependable Davis, a wise signal caller, nevertheless, is probably the Tigers No. 1 open field blocker. When he cracks 'em in the open, many times they fail to spring up. * * * One division of Auburn's 1938 football team is a 100. per cent native commonwealth crew. The Tigers have six fullbacks and all reside in Alabama.

The problem to be discussed is the funeral plans for the anaemic L. S. U. Tiger, which the football te^am is out to slaughter on Legion Field in Birmingham next Saturday afternoon. Coach Dell Morgan will deliver the oration of the evening, assisted on the program by Bobby Blake, three members of the varsity squad, and three members of the frosh team. The Auburn Glee Club will be on hand to give their interpretation of songs Auburn students know and appreciate. The great million-piece Auburn band will form in front of Langdon Hall at 7:45 and parade downtown to get the students in a fever pitch for the rally, whence they will return to the Hall and turn the meeting over to master of ceremonies, Head Cheerleader Charlie O'Reilly. Last one there is a sissy. Railroad Putting On Special Train Fare To LSU Game For the accommodation of students attending the L. S. U.- Auburn football game, the West Point Route—L & N Railroad will establish a round trip coach rate of $3.70 from Auburn to Birmingham via Montgomery. As a matter of ready reference, students may leave Auburn on train No. 37 at 11:44 a. m., arriving Montgomery 1:05 p. m., and make connection with L & N train No. 8 leaving Montgomery 1:40 p m.., arriving Birmingham 5:00 p. m.

Hear Auburn Cavaliers Thursday. engagements a Chi Sigma TO BE IN AUBURN THURSDAY FOR TEA DANCE The Auburn Cavaliers will return to the campus to play for an "A" Club tea dance Thursday afternoon, after a six-months tour of the East, during which time they have played for the opening dances of such schools as Clem-son, Presbyterian College, VPI, Randolph-Macon, Hampden Sydney, and the College of William and Mary. Tea Dance To Be At 4:30 Thursday The tea dance will last from 4:- 30 u n t i l 8:00, and the price of admission will be i 75 cents. At six' o'clock there will be a 30-minute intermission for supper. Included in their for the week-end is Chi fraternity dance at Clover-dale High School in Montgomery on Friday night at 10 o'clock. The Cavaliers will play for the "A" Club dance following the L. S. U. game Saturday night in Birmingham on the terrace of the Thomas Jefferson Hotel. This dance will begin at 9 o'clock and will feature the cabaret effect of the ball room and its adjoining banquet hall. Auburn fraternal organizations will occupy tables in these two rooms. Tables may be reserved through Tom Edwards, "A" Club representative. Tickets will be $1.00. The "A" Club is trying to make arrangements to have this dance broadcast. According to Johnnie Davis, President of the "A" Club, "The Cavaliers will help Auburn to put on a real show in Birmingham for the L. S. U. game and will give visitors and supporters a swell impression of our musical talent down here on the Plains. Auburn should be proud of the fact that these boys in the band have retained their original name." The Cavaliers are working under the booking of Holt Pump-shires, who gave Kay Kyser his professional impetus in the musical world. Pumpshires says that the Cavaliers have the best band he has ever handled, and that they are much better than Kay Kyser's orchestra was at the same stage of development. The Piedmont Driving Club, an exclusive Atlanta country club, has signed the Cavaliers for an engagement toward the end of the month, which will be followed by a short trip to Tampa before returning to the East. Ellington Will Not Appear Duke Ellington and his band, originally scheduled to appear at the Birmingham "A" Club dance, will not be there, as his contract has been cancelled. The Cavaliers left school last May to play an engagement at the Tantilla Gardens at Richmond. From there they went to Myrtle Beach, S. C, Isle of Palms, S. C, Atlanta Beach, N. C, Wrightsville Beach, N. C, and since that time have been playing opening dances at the following colleges: Hamp-den- Sydney, William and Mary, Randolph-Macon, Clemson, Converse, and Presbyterian College. After the Birmingham engagement Saturday night the Cavaliers will return to Columbia, S. C, where they will make record;; for the Brunswick Recording Company. • During Thanksgiving week they will be playing several exclusive club dates in Atlanta and vicinity, after which they go north a-gain to play a return engagement ^Continued on page four) PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 The Auburn Plainsman Published Semi-Weekly By The Students Of The( Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama Editorial and business offices at Lee County Bulletin Office on Tichenor Avenue.

One Born Every Minute That old circus man, Barnum, was right. There's one born every minute. The recent radio drama based upon H. G. Wells' story of a war between worlds proved that, just as James Gordon Bennett's fantastic story of wild animals at large in New York did a generation ago. Back in Bennett's day the New York Herald devoted its front page to news that the animals had escaped from their cages in the New York zoological gardens and were roaming through the streets. The following day, after a wave of hysterical alarm had swept the city, The Herald said its story was published to show what might occur if inadequate cages and enclosures were not speedily improved. Here in Auburn, suckers are born every minute, too. Friday's issue of the paper proved that. The number of poor souls who actually believed the old annual hoax about the staff forcing the Editor and Business Manager of the Plainsman to abdicate is surprising. Scores are sucked in on the same old fantastic tale year after year. John Godbold and Roy Taylor of the editorial staff and Bob Armstrong of the business staff were in charge of the Plainsman while the heads of the publication were attending a press convention in Cincinnati. Their issue was well written and well made up. They deserve all commendation for their job and have the sincere thanks of the Editor and Business Manager for their help. Why Pupils Quit School A federal survey in San Francisco has been investigating the affairs of youth to determine why pupils quit school. They have found, as they could have learned from almost any parent, that lack of funds is the most important reason. Lack of interest, incompatability, bash-fulness, and falling in love were other reasons. But the best reason comes from a youth who quit school simply because he hit his teacher over the head with a clarinet. Unfortunately the name of this apt pupil was withheld, but it is an even bet that this young man will go far in a fast-moving world. Once the flimsy instrument had crashed on the teacher's head, the unnamed hero lost no time in idle deliberation. He walked quickly to the nearest exit and ended his school days then and there. His music may have suffered by his experience, but his logic in quitting school appears to rate one hundred per cent. Delegate Demeanor A convention delegate is a very important school reflector. Several staff members made this often-realized observation at the Collegiate Press assembly. This thought has been expressed many times, but the emphasis on the thought is seldom ample. When an organization or institution sends a delegate to a convention where representatives from like groups are assembled, the delegate rarely is given any suggestions or admonitions as to his conduct at the convention. Too frequently the behavior of delegates bears out this shortcoming on the part of the group represented. A dark light on a delegate means a dark light on the school or organization represented, as far as the other convention attendants are concerned. They in turn take the news to their schools, and the direct and indirect ill effects are far reaching. The delegate is an ambassador of good or bad will. The aggressiveness or lack of aggressiveness is one of the most criticized characteristics, and general behavior and friendliness are equally as important. Many a school and organization has been put in a bad light by the misconduct of its representatives. There cannot be too much emphasis placed on delegate demeanor. L.E.F. Longest Bar The World's Fair is going to have the longest bar in the world. It is a doubtful honor, but has an appeal to outsiders. Apparently the quality of drinks is vouched for by extension of size. The Shanghai bar is world-famed. The Aintree bar for the Grand National is said to have covered a block. More attractive bait for the more general tastes at the Fair will be the serving of the crack dishes of every city and region in the country. Whether these will be as well prepared and have the same smack as in their native homes remains to be seen. At any rate, visitors will have a chance to add to their experiences in eating. More than that, if the visitor is cold to new dishes, he can regale himself with his favorite home items. Even in the tropics many Americans insist on flapjacks and ham and eggs and sausage for breakfast. Everybody Jo his own taste. , If a visitor's taste is varied, he can satif-fy his curiosity about the food and drink of every country under heaven. To be twenty-one in 1939 with the appetite and purse to eat and drink one's way from Alsace and Armenia to Spain and Sweden will be a happy adventure. Catch Words "Man does not live by bread alone—but mostly by catchwords." Failing to think about the catchwords in the air, most men are easy marks for vicious-ness, selfishness, and all manner of evil things which constantly plague us in this world. "Loyalty" is a good word, but see how it is bent to base uses by cheap opportunists and mere politicians. Many men, when they hear the word, go blind and follow carelessly whatever jingoist says it. "Cooperation" is a good word, but see what it becomes in the hands of unscrupulous self-seekers when they have axes to grind. For it, too, blinds men when they hear it. Think on these things, and subject all catch-phrases to rigid analysis. If your loyalty to good things is demanded, give it. If your cooperation for good ends is asked, give it. But let the good be your guide, not the catchword. Highway Zoning The highway of the horse-and-buggy days, while far from meeting the needs of an all-weather road, at least offered beauty to the eye and rest of the spirit. Because of the lack of vision of engineers who designed and built our modern highways, and through the unrestrained greed of commercial enterprises, a great wave of ugliness has flooded the roadsides, cheapening and commercializing our American countryside. More than sixty per cent of our motor travel today is recreational. Our highways are the great playgrounds of our people. The tourist has become the mark of the leading industry in many states. And tourists seek the routes of unmarred beauty. Even the taxpayers are beginning to realize that attractive highways draw more travel. State highway departments are awakening to the need of highway beautification. In many states a landscape division seeks to widen right-of-ways, push back utility poles, and save natural shrubs and trees along the road. Banks are flattened to give a natural effect and ditches are made broad and shallow. In short, the foremost highway engineers today seek to fit the highway to the landscape. The modern highway reveals rather than mars the beauty of the countryside. We are all for taxes on every sign placed along the highways, for a ruling to make signs be placed back a certain distance from the road, and for concerted efforts to check the large boards of the organized billboard industry.

YOU NEVER WOULD SUSPECT this of John Dryden after the things of his you read in "Survey of English Literature," but the following is a piece of his work, probably written one day when he was tired of writing his "Essay of Dramatic Poesy" or something equally as stimulating: Epitaph Intended For His Wife Here lies my wife; here let her lie.

THE WAY THAT MANY of us feel while we are in church is expressed by George Outran. On hearing a lady praise a certain preacher's eyes, he wrote: "I cannot praise the doctor's eyes; I never saw his glance divine, He always shuts them with he prays, And when he preaches, he shuts mine." * * * 677. AND JUST WHAT WILL BE the results of the Plainsman "You Be the Editor" poll? Will writers of seldom-read material relinquish their space to some others, or is the make-up of the paper going to remain as it is, regardless of the opinions expressed by the students? Or is the whole thing just another exhibition of America's favorite pastimes— voting. * * * 1031. WE HEARTILY ENDORSE Laurens Pierce's bit of satire that appeared on the front of page of last Tuesday's Plainsman. Prank playing on Hallowe'en is fun; but endangering lives is a horse with another collar. There seem to be a number of students on the campus who came to the wrong institution. Their true Alma Mater is located at Tuscaloosa— and it is not the U. of A. either. (Incidentally, we hope some of the Auburn High School students read Pierce's editorial, too.) * * * 5.

Philip Space THE CO-EDS ARE ALL after the scalps of Farley and Schwartz, according to the latest rumors which have been circulating a-mong the feminine contingent. It seems as if the Glomerata boys were in an enormous rush to get "Miss Auburn" elected before the co-eds could get together and talk the situation over while guzzling cups of P. Bag's blackest exam-speed coffee. So instead of nominating the head Amazon on Monday, the boys had a conference and decided that it would be too much trouble for that. So what do we have?

Vet Notes By H. B. Title ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING phases of veterinary medicine is meat inspection. The inspection of meat by a qualified veterinarian insures the public that the meat and meat products they consume are free from any diseases that might be obtained from infected meat. * * * SINCE meat and meat products are regarded as the most important source of nourishment for mankind, a thorough system of meat inspeciton is necessary and should be extended to include all establishments that slaughter animals to amn through meat, togeth-in the preparation and distribution of meat or meat products. * * * THE POSSIBILITY of transmitting various diseases from animals to man through meat, together with the danger of meat pois-ioning resulting from deterioration or contamination of meat, necessitates constant vigilance in the preparation and distribution of meat and products containing meat. * * * ONE OF THE MAIN COURSES offered to students here in veter-many of the gullible Auburn students got sucked in on the "Editor Skips" headline in last Friday's issue. They should have known better. And anyhow, another story appeared right in the front page stuff that said plain as the nose on the genial "Scoop" Burns that Ye Ed Godbold and Grisham, et al. were in Cincinnati, sopping up a convention held among the other copy-slaughterers of college newspapers. That just shows you how thoroughly the students read the paper. The ideal way, as outlined by Godbold, is to look at the masthead and see if it is the Plainsman, glance at the headlines, look in the gossip columns for your name, read the editorial page for grammatical errors, and throw the paper at your roommate, who will immediately consign it to the wastebasket, where it should have been in the first place. * * * "IT'S ALL in the way you do it," said the Editor, as he fell down six flights of stairs, editing the paper on the way down. Gift Of Grab By Bob Anderson Birmingham-Southern students have instituted a dating bureau on their campus. According to the "Gold and Black" the general opinion seems to be that the bureau will be a success with a little time allowed for getting rid of a certain "timidness" among students. When asked if he thought the idea was practical, one professor stated: "You known darn well it'll work. Look at the way boys and girls act in my classes. I have to remind them constantly that I teach economics and not practical romance." * * * Some 3,272 people died of gas last year.

The class inspected the White Provision Company in Atlanta and were shown through the plant by officials. The journey was started at the stockyards where the animals were brought to be slaughtered. The guide explained the method of buying cattle and hogs for the market. The killing floors were next on the docket. Here the animals are slaughtered by U. S. government Inspectors. The class were also carried through the different departments where various meat products such as ham, bacon, sausage, and numerous other products were prepared. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold GROVER HALL writes as he pleases in his Montgomery Advertiser and in the process turns out some of the best editorializing in the South. But sometimes in the heat of his subject Editor Hall says things that maybe he doesn't quite mean. In this classification comes his statement in Sunday's Advertiser: "Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus-solina may be more expert in the art of demagoguery than Mr. Roosevelt, but our smiling President, if need be, could meet them on their own ground." Webster's dictionary defines a demagogue as "An insincere politician, orator, or leader who stirs up popular prejudice to gain office or influence." That shoe doesn't fit President Roosevelt. We can never be convinced that he is insincere. He has fought consistently for those things which he believes the United States and her people need and will benefit from. On a few occasions his methods of gaining the end in view might have been more wisely chosen, but at least his methods have been open. Criticize his methods if you must, but do not label him as insincere in the ends which he seeks. Furthermore, he may call upon people's senses of social justice, their common sense, their feelings of fairness and equality—but these are not "popular prejudices." They are high principles. We grant that we can think of one or two occasions when the President has appeared to prejudice, but never has he done so to an extent that would justify his being termed a demagogue. * * * In a number of colleges, particularly in the Midwest and Far West, it is the custom for seniors— and seniors only—to dress at all times in corduroys of a uniform color and sweaters.

Auburn is proud of you for Saturday's performance. * * * AS THIS GOES TO PRESS an election will be under way in New York state to decide whether Herbert H. Lehman or Thomas E. Dewey will be the next governor. And Dewey, a young man of 36 who at first wasn't given an outside chance to win, is coming down the home stretch side by side with Gov. Lehman, a popular executive and a discreet politician. Dewey's campaign has been unusually clean-cut and open. He has shot his bolts even against elements of his own party. Recently he heard of the support which was being given him by Anti-Semitic groups. (Gov. Lehman is a Jew.) His reply was: "I condemn and despise any support based on racial or religious prejudice. There are some things more important than being elected Governor, and one is a spirit of religious and racial good-will. I would rather go down to defeat than be elected by any votes based on race or religion." Which statement left no doubt as to its meaning, and was very good politics, too. Whether he wins or whether he loses, Thomas Dewey has earned the respect of his opponents as well as the members of his own party. He'll be our best man some day."

LOWE'S MEN'S FASHIONS Dr. Charles Davis Speaks Wednesday Dr. Charles Davis, of the history department of A. P. I., spoke before members of the West Point, Ga., Lions' Club last Wednesday. His talk dealt with the effects of the present European situation u-pon the United States. Dr. Davis told members that our government is rapidly changing its foreign policies, realizing that eventually this country must take a stand in defending the democracies of the Western Hemisphere. As to what the U. S. is attempting to do, he said our government is beginning to arm as never before; that it is obviously planning to subsidize utilities which could be quickly transformed into munition factories in case of war; that President Roosevelt will probably advocate the subsidation of railroads as a precautionary war measure; that a program is already underway to rewin the friendship of the Latin-American countries through a good neighbor policy. "The United States," he said, "can hardly feel safe simply because she is separated from Europe by two large oceans." He said further that totalitarian states had been trying to root the U. S. out of Latin-America, that Japan had been underselling us, trade concessions have been made, radio broadcasting stations erected in Latin-America for propaganda purposes to curtail U. S. influence in the South and dictatorships will result. He also called attention to activities of the German-American Bund and spies in our country as indications that our government needs to wake up to the needs of internal defense. 'Everyone Knows Enough To Lead Perfect Life' Is Keynote Of Carnegie's Speech FOR RENT—Furnished room. Next to J. W. Wright's Dry Good Store. 136 N. College. Call 452. By Martin Wender Dale Carnegie, who is the Missouri- born grandson of Robert Breckenbridge, an inveterate Confederate, visited the Southland on Oct. 31 to speak to the people of Columbus on the importance of human relations. Under the auspices of the Pilot Club, a leading woman civic organization of that city, Mr. Carnegie addressed one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the history of Columbus. In the year 1930 Dale Carnegie and two associates started the first laboratory on human relations that the world has ever known. After months of thorough research in every field of endeavor, Mr. Carnegie published a text book on their findings which was to be given away without charge to the large business concerns; this free text became the modern best seller. Strange as it may seem, the five other books of Mr. Carnegie which were to be sold to the public have passed into oblivion. Practise Necessary To Success The keynote of his most interesting lecture was that "everyone knows enough to lead a perfect life, yet these important principles are not practiced. To be a success in any one thing, a person must practice continuously." "If we are to be a success, the cooperation of others must be had, but the only way to make others cooperate is to make them want to. Talk in terms of other people's wants, if you want your own desires satisfied." In quoting Professor James of Harvard, eminent psychologist, Mr. Carnegie said, "The craving of people to be appreciated is a trait that will lead men and women to great accomplishments. People want to be important; everyone has the desire to be great." )^2SS)^2R2S2*0S0S0,0#0*0*o,0#o#0#0,0"0»o»(J»o»o»o»o»o»oto»o»o»o«o»o«o»o»o«o«o»o«o«o«o»o»o»ofo»o»c o#o»o*o»^«o»o»o»o»o»o«o»o»o«o»o«Q»o»o»o»o«o»o«D»3«o«o«o«u»o»j«^«u«a»Q«o»o«o»o«o»o»oio»o«o»n»o«o«vf 1 •o Yea Auburn!!!!I BEAT LSU LET'S GO - - Co-Eds For Real Touchdown Styles In Ready-to-Wear And Accessories COME TO New Williams 1911 Third Ave. Birmingham, Ala. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMillliniliMiM H i WELCOME AUBURN S88S88SSSSSSSSS888S8888SSS8£SSSSS8S8S8S8S8SSSS8S8SSSSSS£SSSS;SSS:s;SSSS£;sS£SS:i Make this old Birmingham Store Your Headquarters Next Saturday ;2SS8SSSSSS£8£3S8S8S8SSSSSSSSS8S8SS.SSS8S8SS£S£8S8SSSSS8£SS8S3S8£3S8SSS8S3SSS8S8S Burger Phillips 8 % :• Comments On Charles Schwab With reference to Charles Schwab, the only man in the country to ever earn a million dollars a year, he said, "His natural ability to deal with people was his greatest asset. Because he was lavish in his praise for fellow workers, he was a custodian of their confidence. "There is a decided difference between praising a person and flattering him. Do not flatter anyone! It does not work; it is like counterfeit money because this practice will catch up with you." "Before criticising one we should always remember that criticism wounds a man's pride; it closes all avenues of progress. No man or woman blames themselves ,for anything. Why even Al Capone considered himself a benefactor to the public good. Criticism gets us exactly what we do not want. (Mr. Carnegie wrote the "book entitled "Lincoln, the Unknown) Lincoln's method of dealing with men was 'Judge not and be not judged.' "Humanity will improve when man first perfects himself. The very momet man's spite against himself begins, he then makes progress. Interest In Others Necessary To Make Friends "The surest way to make friends is to be sincerely interested in the welfare of others, to get others to talk about themselves, and to talk about what they like and not about what you like. If you can do something for someone to make him feel important, a new friend has been won. Who is it that a small puppy has more friends than many people? Simply because his wagging tail makes everyone'feel that he is interested in them and has a real affection for them. A lame dog, Calculator who put down three and carried one, was a mascot during the World War, and it was known to be a fact that this dog had friends all over the world. The reason— an unselfish interest in other people." Woman's Face Means More Than Clothes To the women Mr. Carnegie had these words of wisdom: "Your facial expression means more than pretty clothes. Facial expressions will get pretty clothes." "By remembering a person's name," he went on to say, "you keep in your possession the sweetest thing that the person possesses. Jim Farley's success in politics is due to his phenomenal a-bility to remember a person's name. It has been said that he knows the first name of about 100,000 people. "Success in business, in the legal profession, in the field of engineering, and even in the realm of society depends upon the ability to get the other's point of! view." To vividly illustrate his point Mr. Carnegie said, "When we go fishing, we bait the hook with what the fish wants and not with what we like." In concluding he urged everyone to try the following four points which are easy to apply and are certain to bring about better human relations between us and the people with whom we come in contact: 1. Praise before condemning. 2. Criticise indirectly. 3. Minimize a mistake. 4. Find the wrong in yourself.

Kernodle, who did three years' undergraduate work at Auburn. While a student here Mr. Kernodle, a native of Texas, gave Camp Hill, Alabama, as his home address, and he was graduated from Camp Hill High School in 1922. He was a student in the School of Science and Literature, taking s general course with an English major. Most of his work in English literature was done under the direction of Professor J. R. Rutland. After leaving Auburn Mr. Kernodle studied at the University of Dallas, Catholic University, the University of Chicago, and Yale University. At the present time he is Director of Dramatics in Cleveland College of Western Reserve University. He is well known as a Godbold Brothers To Meet Irish Debaters Soon Two young debaters from Great Britain will come to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute on Nov. 29, in W. P. A. Hall, to debate the Auburn team on whether or not the American judicial system inevitably leads to a certain amount of corruption. Auburn will be represented by the Godbold brothers, Edwin and John, who will uphold the negative side of the question. The foreign debaters will be William T. Williams, graduate of the University of London, and William A. Beers, graduate of the University of Dublin. Edwin Godbold, editor of the Auburn Plainsman, is a senior in foreign service and John Godbold is a member of the junior class in pre-law. The debate has been arranged by Prof. E. D.

Charles Stewart Parnell, who died in 1891, visited his brother John in Chambers County at least twice during his lifetime, said Professor Rutland. John Parnell returned to Ireland in the latter part of his life and was also elected to Parliament. He died in 1923. contributor to Theatre Arts Magazine.

In Sales By Nancye Thompson Of course if you've had your eyes open, aren't blind, or have gotten around at all in the circles where the feminine sex moves, you have noticed this weird concoction in coiffures known as the "up-hair do." The latter phenomenon is a piled mass of assorted curls in the upward sweep, generally organized with the aid and abettment of bobbie pins, hair pins and a ribbon or two. It's sweeping the country from the Astors to the Mulligans; debutantes, co-eds, office stenogs, hat check girls, and Harlem flat-foot floogies—they're all caught in the web of its fatal fascination. We think the movies are to blame for the spread of the epidemic—they usually are. After hearing the pros and cons, the left-wingers and the right wingers and the mugwumps who ride the fence, we've decided that it's a toss-up, but the burning question is still with us. Nothing is settled yet but at least you know where these important men stand on the subject: Campus Characters Quoted Oliver Fletcher: simply, "It looks like HELL!" Roy Taylor: after a prelude of muttering under his breath, "It looks like Monday morning wash day. Most of them look as if they had washed their hair, rolled it up and were too damned lazy to comb it." Neil Davis: "I think it's fetching!" (refused to comment further.) Bobby Chestnut: "It's fine if you've got the right ears to go with it." Tony Cortina: "It looks swell in the bath tub or under a shower." (Well!) Aubrey Garrison: "Oh my goodness—I like it DOWN!" Paul Bagley: "It all depends on the dame under it." (diplomacy?) Fred Boswell "Blondes wear it better than brunettes—but 'then I'm partial to blondes anyway." (uh-huh, we know.) Frank Rigell ':'It looks like the girl was interrupted in the middle of a shampoo." Bob Gibbons: "It's right cute— really it's all right with me if the ladies want a change." David Rogers: "On some, yes, others I know of, NO!" Allen Cowart: "I like the old-fashioned, sweet type better—unsophisticated. And another thing —this may sound inconsistent, but I hate those damned hoop skirts they're wearing too." The Knights: "It's definitely out of the groove with us—we're agin' it!" Ernest Rouse: "It's awful! Ifs grounds for destruction." Bobby Lawrence: "Besides looking like Hell it looks like scrambled onions. Bill Milam: "I think it sets off the girl's beauty to a great extent." Elmore Ragan: "It looks like the girl washed her hair and it shrunk. I don't like it." Unidentified Persons Comment Others who commented but requested that their names be withheld said: "It's too dramatic. It's definitely a get-up for a special festive occasion. It is not becoming to the majority of women. Pledges Of Sigma Chi Frat Are Entertained Saturday The Sigma Pi fraternity entertained its pledges Saturday night with a halloween party. The living room was decorated to represent a hay loft of an old bam along with the usual halloween lighting and decoration effects. Those attending were: Charles Pearson, Anne Hamilton; Ben Foshee, Elaine Pittman, Julian Edge, Virginia Riley; Bill Henderson, Betty Belle Brandt; Buddy Boteler, Jane Bayliss; Don Odell, Laurie Houston; George Garrett, Mirian Chesnutt; Haskell Johnson, Marion Hurley; Melvin Ha-good, Frances Ford; James Mc- Crea, Sara Wallace; Mike Blevins. Mary Agnes Shipman; Walter Clements, Bobbie Davis. Marshall Brawner, Sara Steele; Bob Wilkinson, Ruth Hawkins; Charles Plosser, Geneva Ford; Harry Lee Welstead, Robert Brewer, Jack Young, Clyde Brown, Bill Davenport, Gus Hol-lings. Later in the evening refreshments were served and the crowd adjourned with usual Halloween hilarity. Why not compromise between the long-bob and the short if the long-bob is out of style?" "It is the 'acid test' of beauty." Some brought to mind the old saying, "A woman's hair is her crowning glory," as a point in favor of the long-bob. "It depends on the contour of the face—the majority can't get away with it." "It's a good excuse for women to wear those crazy little hate." "Lady Godiva and Rapunzel are the only women I can think of off hand on whom the 'high hairdo' wouldn't be an improvement." "It's fascinating but only if it's artistically done—if it droops in places and is frizzy on the ends. No." "It's going to make an awful hole in the co-ed's allowance, the upkeep on it." "A woman with her hair done up makes me think she's either ready for the shower or the opera— depending on the woman." "It keeps me in too much suspense— I'm afraid I'm going to muss it or maybe it will fall down." "50,000,000 women can't be wrong." After all this I can only caution the co-eds to make a note of who said what ^about it and act accordingly, depending on which of these men you're most interested in pleasing. Or if a non-conformist and want to be different, go right ahead, you might even get away with it!

Knights To Make First Tour Since Their Reorganization The Auburn Knights, ever popular campus orchestra, will journey to Troy Thursday evening on the first tour since their reorganization, to furnish music for the Charity Ball that will be held on that night. Marion Military Institute will be the scene set for the orchestra this week-end when they will play for the opening dances on that campus on Friday and Saturday nights. The Knights, under the directorship of Robin Russell and Tubby Griffin, business manager, will return to Auburn Sunday. Baptist Missionary To Speak Friday Will Present Ventriloquist Dummy He Uses In Brazil Rev. W. W. Enete, Baptist Missionary to Brazil, will speak at a special missionary service to be held at the First Baptist Church, Friday, Nov. 11 at 7 p. m. Rev. Enete's message will be supplemented by pictures and other illustrative material. Probably the most unique and interesting feature of the service will be the appearance of Rev. Enete's Sammy, who is a ventriloquist's dummy. Sammy is known as the Charlie McCarthy of Brazil. Rev. Enete is an expert ventriloqiust. Before going to Brazil in 1934, Rev. Enete used his ability as a ventriloquist only for entertainment. After a short time in Brazil, he conceived the idea of using his ability in another way. As he was working with children, Rev. Enete, saw the need of something to draw and hold the attention of the children. From a large South American nut and a few odds and ends, a dummy called Johnny was created. The children were delighted with Johnny, and were always happy when Uncle Billy, as they called Rev. Enete, made Johnny talk for them. After the creation of Johnny, someone gave Rev. Enete another dummy. This new dummy was named Sammy. Since that time, Sammy has become famous throughout all of Brazil. This dummy, Sammy, has been an invaluable aid to Rev. Enete, in his work as a missionary. All Baptist students, and anyone else interested, are cordially invited to attend the Friday night meeting, and see and hear Uncle Billy with Sammy.

G-E Campus /Vews "FROM AMERICA, FROM IHVIA. FROM ENGLAND" SCANNING the recent rolls of young men on Test with General Electric gives the impression of reading membership lists in an "International House" at some large university. For, intermingled with graduates of engineering schools all over the United States are, for. example, Cariapa from Kashmir, in India; Bambery, from " 'way down under" in New Zealand; Gurewitsch, of Roumania; and Chia-Hsu Hou, of China. But predominating in the picture are picked men from American colleges and universities. Selecting names at random from the various Tests inevitably shows student engineers from widely separated parts of the country working side by side. Miller of Arizona U. and Olsen of Brooklyn Tech. worked together on motor and generator tests. Schmid of Wisconsin ran turbine tests with Norris of Texas Tech. Testing induction motors were Loew of Washington and Owens of Union College. General Electric's executives look upon this Test training as more than a graduate course in engineering—it is a carefully formulated plan of training young engineers for leadership in industry. "MIDGET SUH" E \ ) R years Old Sol has had things pretty much his own way—causing sunburn, having sunspots, and wandering periodically north and south of the equator. Omega Zeta Of Lambda Chi Alpha Entertains With Formal Dance Omega Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha entertained with its annual house-party Nov. 4-6, the chief feature of which was a formal dance to be held at Graves Center (W. P. A. Hall) with music by the Auburn Knights. Following the dance, which began at 9:30 p. m., there was a breakfast at the chapter house attended by members and pledges and dates. On Saturday the fraternity again entertained at the chapter house with a closed afternoon dance, only a few close friends of the members being present. The dance was led by Miss Sara Peay of Birmingham who was escorted by the chapter president, Ernest R. Floyd of Huntsville. Corsages and decorations for the event carried out the scheme inspired by the fraternity colors—purple, green, and gold. In addition, there was the traditional candle-lit dinner preceding the dance Friday night, and a buffet supper Saturday night. Among the guests who were present were: Evelyn Wilson, Fitzgerald, Ga.; Roselyn Holmes, Tif-ton, Ga.; Margaret MacPherson, University of Georgia; Margaret Root, Huntsville; Marguerite Creel, Fairfield; Dell Wright, Fitzgerald, Ga.; Florence Threadgill, Huntingdon College; Carol Tucker, Montgomery; Inez Heigler, Montgomery; Edith Cecil Carson, Montgomery; Laurie Houston, Auburn; Christine Clifton, Center; Eleanor" Kelley, Tifton; Emily Wiggins, Birmingham; Margaret Lindon, Leeds; Se-lina Baker, Birmingham; Elizabeth Ley den, Anniston; Mary Alice Ford, Montgomery; Sara Ann Spear, Tampa, Fla.; Dot Yancey, Tuskegee; Julia Ridley, Tuscumbia; Lucile Gibson, Auburn; Alice Lee Howard, Tuskegee; Pauline Weatherington, Mobile; Louise Sullivan, Montgomery; Mae McCord, Montgomery; Dot Siler, Birmingham; Jea-netta Turenr, Montgomery; Kay Kennedy, Agnes Scott College; Jane Ussery, Ashland; Katharine Quattlebaum, Conway, S. C ; Kitty Keyton, Montgomery; Betty Nicrosi, Montgomery. Quite a number of alumni were present, including Max Welden, Morgan Jackson, John Lowery, Wayne Hamilton, Thomas L. Ha-gan, G. W. Penton, Ed Gatchell, and the members on the faculty. Cardinal Key Gives Tea For Women Students Sunday Sunday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 Cardinal Key entertained the women students whose birthdays are in July, August, September, or October with a tea in Smith Hall. Guests were selected in this manner to encourage girls from various campus groups to become better acquainted with each other. Miss Zoe Dobbs and Dr. Rosa Lee Walston were present to meet the guests. Members of Cardinal Key assisting at the tea were: Clara Thagard, Rachael Hereford, Ruby Pitts, Eleanor Scott, Ruby Helen Stokes, Camilla Newberry, and Rene Gibson. Beck Is Guest Speaker At Opelika Teachers' Meeting Prof. M. L. Beck of the School of Education, was the guest speaker at the monthly faculty meeting of Opelika school teachers held last Tuesday. Prof. Beck emphasized the need for far reaching goals for individuals and society instead of short cuts to progress and immediate attainment of aims. He stated: "True growth and progress come only as firmer foundations are laid. That gain is real which comes slowly as the result of labor expended. Achievement is something for which people pay; attainment is something we reach through effort." Alabama Colleges Receive Loans From PWA Recently Hope of obtaining federal approval of the three A. P. I. buildings not yet passed on by the P. W. A., was renewed yesterday with the announcement of grants to other Alabama colleges this week. The University received a loan of $129,000 and a grant of $105,- 545 for two school buildings. Huntingdon College received a loan of $49,000 and a grant of $40,091. Montevallo was granted $12,240 for two college libraries and $175,- 000 loan and a $141,363 grant for a college building. Now a young upstart about the size of a cigarette has been announ'ced by General Electric. It is the new iooo-watt mercury lamp, which, even though many million times smaller than the sun, has one fifth the brilliancy of Old Sol's surface. Source of the brilliant light is the lamp's highly concentrated arc—ia times more brilliant than the incandescent filament of a iooo-watt standard projection lamp. Laboratory tests show that the " upstart" will be of great value in searchlights, photoengraving, blueprinting, photoenlarging, and as an aid to medical science. GENERAL ® ELECTRIC NOTICE Notices are being mailed to all students to the effect that registration fees and charges for the second quarter of the first semester are due on Nov. 14 and 15. This means that on or before these dates all charges and fees for the first semester are due and payable.

W. Gay A crowd of approximately 500 people were on hand Saturday night to witness one of the most entertaining programs ever staged by the ag club. The W. P. A. amphitheater was the seat of the funful event. The feature event was the crowning of Miss Mable Gray 'Harvest Queen' by Prof. Guyton of the Zoology department. A hog-calling contest was participated in by many, but Bill Eden won first honors. One of the choice events was the mock faculty. The students could tell what they wanted to about their profs, so they mocked only their past ones. Earl Kennamer demonstrated his talent as a tobacco auctioneer by giving several chants used by the men as they sell the tobacco to the bidders. There were many other interesting events such as the climbing of the greased pole. According to Dean Funchess, the exhibits were the best this year since the inauguration of the ag fair several years ago. Excepting only a few, all departments on Ag hill displayed their work through an individual exhibit. The soil conservation service presented a very educational and interesting exhibit, which was shown at the Lee County fair at Opelika a few weeks past. Cavaliers Phi Beena Krabba is the name of a Colby College honorary fra ternity. (Continued from Page One) at the Tantilla Gardens in Richmond. It has been stated that this engagement will be broadcast on a coast to coast CBS hook-up. The band will leave the Tantilla just before Christmas to return south playing one-night engagements between Richmond and Tampa, Fla., where they have been engaged for a big New Years Eve celebration. Far-Advanced For College Band Every year many college bands attempt to break into porfessional business and it is very rare for one to succeed. The Cavaliers' success in this has gained the attention of all the major booking offices and inside information has it that they will open in the beautiful Rainbow Room, Denver, Colo., during the month of January. The personnel of the band consists of Skeets Morris, director and vocalist from the University of Arkansas, Doug Broyles, Frank Bernard, Earle Pledger, Pat Hill, Daniel Roth, Silas Green, Henry Vaughn, Gabe Julian "Ole Boy" Holmberg, and Jimmie Hooper, manager. One of the outstanding features of the band is Connie Moore, girl vocalist, formerly with Frank Daileys' orchestra. Added entertainment is furnished by a comedy quartet, "The Swinging Gates," and solos by Earle Pledger and "Hinky Vaug-han." High personnel standards and rigid organization rules have led the band to achieve an enviable reputation in a social as well as musical world. It is believed that Jitterbug Jubilee On Tiger Stage Dan Fitch's "Jitterbug Jubilee" will be presented on the stage of the Tiger Theater Thursday. Local theater-goers are looking forward to this show not only because it is a Dan Fitch show but because it is featuring the new Jitterbug dance. Last season Dan Fitch produced the raging and ruling Insanity of the year labeled "The Big Apple." Remember? The current craze, danced to the tune of "Flat Foot Floogee With A Floy Floy" is known as "The Jitterbug." You definitely are not in the swim these days if you are not a "Jitterbug" or if you do not have a "Jitterbug" in your family. Of course, if you're over 60 and your blood pressure is high, you may be content simply to sit by and watch the "Jitterbugs" do their jittering. Even at that age, though, you'll be tempted. Dan's show is said to feature a group of America's loveliest glamour girls in the most dynamic, daring, dance of the decade. In addition, the show has an array of splendid entertainers and an excellent swing band. And on the scree Lola Lane and Paul Kelly play Torchy Blane and her detective boy friend in the latest of the popuar series "Torchy Blane in Panama." Players, Team (Continued from page one) Cantrell is from Lanett, Ross Dean is a local boy, John Shearer is from Georgiana, and Ted Fillette is from Mobile. * * * Foremost ambition of Abb Chrietzberg, Auburn No. 1 sophomore football center this year, is to emulate the record chalked up at the Plains by his' illustrious brother, Will, who was the Tigers' ace pivot mainstay on the gridiron in 1933. The younger Chrietzberg, a local lad, is a football neophyte,' but he stands an excellent chance of developing into a top-flight performer if he, becomes heavier. He's very aggressive, determined and willing, and learns easily. * * * Leaders of Auburn's 1938 football team are both Alabama boys. Captain Bo Russell, All-Southeastern Conference tackle, hails from Birmingham, and Alternate- Captain Pig Walker, quarterback is a native of Dotharf? in due time the band will be recognized as one of the country's best musical attractions and at this stage they are well on the road to success. Lone newcomer to Auburn's football coaching ranks this season is Porter Grant, one of the Tigers greatest ends of all-time. From 1934 until he became one of Auburn's assistant mentors and alumni secretary last December, Grant was one of Coach Chet Wynne's first lieutenants at the University of Kentucky. He graduated at Auburn in 1933 and coached one season at the Plains before going to Kentucky. Campus Events Today 7 p. m., the Open Forum Club will hold its first meeting in Broun 421.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 Phi Psi Holds Bi-Annual Smoker For Textile Students Phi Psi, national honorary textile fraternity, held its bi-annual smoker for the textile boys last Monday night. The members of Phi Psi and many of the textile boys were present to enjoy the smokes and jokes. Phi Psi is very active in the textile department here. It spon-sers a smoker each semester, an annual Open House, and the Cotton Ball every spring. Members of the fraternity are selected from the junior and senior classes in textile engineering on the basis of scholarship, character, and leadership. The next meeting of Phi Psi will be held next Monday night at seven o'clock. All members are urged to be present.

It is important that those su-dents who have not yet been able to participate in this election add their voice to the poll. Ballots will be distributed to members of the various organizations and clubs which are meeting during the week, and a large number of ballots will be left with Mrs. Jolly at the Student Center for those students who wish to vote there. It is hoped that the results of this poll will help the editorial staff of the Plainsman make definite improvements in the makeup of the paper that will make it not only readable to the greatest number of the students but also make the ediorial policy of he paper conform more generally to the opinions expressed in the poll. Suggestions as to improvements in the stories and columns and comments of any nature are very much desired, and this is the students' chance to tell what they think of the paper in perhaps no uncertain terms. Muhlenberg College was named for the Lutheran patriarch, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg. Its first president was Rev. Frederick A. Muhlenberg.

Number made famous in Auburn's football ranks last year by the spectacular Happy Sivell, an All - Southeastern Conference guard, is being sported this season by another guard, Sophomore Ernest Mills of Columbus, Ga. Sivell brought No. 28 jersey into the limelight and Mills has high hopes of keeping it in the front by his creditable beats in the Tigers' line. * * * Leadership ability is one of the many fine qualities possessed by Auburn's No. 1 football center this fall, Malvern Morgan of Lanett. A letterman in three sports and a very popular athlete, Morgan is co-captain-elect of the Tiger basketball team and captain-elect of the baseball club. He is a high scoring forward on the court and a heavy hitting first sacker on the diamond. * * * Last year Auburn's Ross Dean, a local boy, sold football programs at the games.

OCR Transcript | Semi-Weekly Tuesday Edition / ©he Auburn plainsman Hear Cavaliers Thursday VOL. LXII Z-I AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 NUMBER 19 Kryl, Celebrated Conductor, To Appear Here November 14 Great Cornetist Is One Of Music World's Most Picturesque Characters Bohumir Kryl, the celebrated conductor who will appear here at Graves Center (WPA Hall) on Monday evening, Nov. 14, with his Symphony Orchestra is one of the most picturesque characters in the music world. The career of Bohumir Kryl reads like a chapter from almost unbelievable fiction. At the early age of twelve, Kryl began his career of public entertainment in the Winter Gardens of Berlin and from that day to this, has become an outstanding personality. Kryl Is Great Cornetist When he was thirteen, he worked his way to America by the means of his violin. He is master of numerous instruments, but confines his playing at the present to the cornet. With this instrument, he does the impossible—playing two octaves lower than any other living cornetist. He plays with a certain contempt for the difficulties that often defeat other mu- Kryl scorns defeat in any line of endeavor. Aside from his mastery of music, he has attained distinction in the arts of painting and sculpturing, and at the present time, owns one of the greatest private collectios of paintings in the country. He has also established himself as an able business man, having been president of a large bank in the Chicago area. Kryl is the father of two beautiful daughters and is the grandfather of six lovely children. One daughter, Josephine, married Paul Taylor White, composer and director of the Rochester, New York Civic Symphony Orchestra. Kryl, with his two daughters, Marie and Josephine, one an accomplished pianist and the other a violinist, toured Europe and America in recitals. Is World Famed Conductor Kryl's is a versatile personality. In his symphony Orchestra, the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is presenting a world famous symphony conductor and a world famous orchestra. Kryl's artistry and superb directing unite into a composite of orchestral music that is unexcelled. A great musical treat is waiting in store for the public when Dorothy Dickerson, the world-famous soprano of radio and grand opera, will appear at this concert as solist. Recordings of selections on the Kryl Symphony Orchestra to be presented here Monday evening-, Nov. 14, will be played this evening at 8 p. m. in Student Center for the benefit of those who wish to "preview" the program and to hear the explanatory comments which will be given by Lawrence Barnett, director of the Auburn Glee Club. Joe Turner, president of the Auburn Music Club, has arranged for the playing of the recordings. ATO Fraternity Holds Formal Pledging For Class Of 1942 Members of the Alpha Tau O-mega fraternity last Wednesday night held formal pledging for men of the class of '42.

All members are urged to be present. Auburn Frosh To Meet Tech Rats P l a y Is Armistic Day At 2 P . M. On Drake Adhering to the annual custom, the Auburn and Georgia Tech freshman football teams will tie up at 2 o'clock, Friday, Nov. 11, Armistice Day on Drake Field. Last year's battle between the rodent squads, which was played in the mud, and which featured a punting duel between Dick Mc- Gowen and Neil Cavette, who are now sophomore stars of their respective squads and who will a-gain match toes tomorrow in Atlanta, ended in a bitter 6-6 tie. This year's Baby Bengals will be out to avenge that tie, and they stand a better than even chance of doing so. The Auburn rats are exceptionally strong this year, having mauled the Southern freshman team around to the tune of a sweet 25- 7 licking, and they have also been giving the varsity plenty of trouble on occasions in scrimmages. The whole first team, which includes Samford and Cremer at ends, Chalkley and Rush at tackles, Costellos and Deal at guards, Burns at center, Crimmins at quarterback, Cheatam at full back, and Irby and Johnson at halfbacks, are standouts. The Baby Jackets have two scintillating halfbacks in Johnny Bosch and Bill Massengale. It was largely through their work that the Tech freshmen ran wild over Gordan Cadets to the tune of 3$ to 6. Tech's lineup for the game Friday will probably be Arthur and Webb at end, Lee and Muerth at tackle, Tipton and Hood at guard, Wright at center, Lamb at quarterback, Bosch at left half, Pair at right half, and Sanders at fullback. The Friday following the Tech fray the Baby Tigers journey to Dothan to encounter the Florida freshman Gators in Wiregrass Stadium. Junior Letterman May Queen Election To Be Wednesday Co-Ed Selected To Rule Over Spring Festival The Auburn May Queen, who will rule over the annual Spring Festival presented by the co-eds, will be elected Wednesday by vote of the women students. Voting will take place in front of Langdon Hall from 9 a. m. to 5:15 p. m. The town girls and the sororities will each be represented toy one candidate, a junior or senior co-ed. There will be an important meeting of all non-sorority girls at Smith Hall tonight at 7 p. m. Non-sorority candidate for May Queen will be chosen. The girl who is chosen as May Queen will have her picture in the Glomerata and will preseide over the Spring Festival, which this year is sponsored by Sphinx with the assistance of the Auburn Players. Officers of Sphinx are: Sara Lee Banks, president; Jane Bil-lingsley, vice president; and Annie Jo McCrea, secretary; Wood-row Kilgore, treasurer. The purposes of Sphinx are to recognize girls who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership, personality, and service. Its object is to eacourage those qualities in girls on the campus. It elects members the second semester of their junior year. Sphinx also sponsors Oracles, the honor society for freshmen women. NOTICE IRC members will meet in front of the chemistry building at 12:- 45 Wednesday to have a Glomerata picture made. NOTICE All persons are asked to keep off Bullard Field until Nov. 15 in order to allow the recently planted rye grass to get started.

'Miss Auburn' To Be Named At Dance Co-Ed Winning Election To Be Named December 10 By Roy Taylor Managing Editor Yesterday, Auburn students went to the polls, variously situated at the Main Gate and in Aunt Hattie's emporium, and cast their votes for the co-ed to be given the honorary title of "Miss Auburn." The polls were in charge of the Glomerata staff, headed by Perry Schwartz, Editor, and Curty Farley, Business Manager. Voting during the day was heavier than expected, they said, in spite of the slight flurries of rain during the election. The announcement of the winner will not be made until Dec. 10, at the ODK-"A" Club dance following the frosh cake race that afternoon. The newly elected "Miss Auburn" will present the big cake to the winner of the distance struggle, and the other members of her court will present the cakes to the other 24 freshmen who crossed the line following the winner. "Miss Auburn" will head the beauty section of the 1939 Glomerata, and the title is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a co-ed at Auburn. In contradiction to a previous announcement that the Publications Board would be responsible for the judging of the election, it was announced by the Glomerata that the judges for the contest would be named by the Publications Board secretly to avoid mass lynching of the judges by irate co-eds. Courageous Tigers Downed By Tough Villanova Wildcats Nick Basca's Accurate Passes Deciding Factor Against Tiger Team By Boots Stratford The good right arm of Nick Basca, Villanova sophomore left half, beat a courageous Auburn Tiger Saturday afternoon. Basca held the difference between the Tigers and the Wildcats in his sharply accurate passes, for he threw three touchdown passes and one more to the three yard stripe that immediately resulted in another six pointer for the undefeated Villanova eleven. Statistics often lie, but Saturday, they held the essence of the game. The Plainsman out-gained the Wildcats 183 yards to 114 and made 15 first downs to 11, i were bested in aerial gains, 249 to 60, and there lies the story of the ball game. Villanova Off To Good Start Villanova assumed a quick 12 point lead in the first quarter, as Frank Bukowski snagged two of Basca's heaves in quick succession for touchdowns, but Auburn came back in the second period when Dick McGowan flipped a 20-yard aerial effort into the waiting arms of Gus Pearson in the end zone. The tide of battle, however, swung Villanova's way in the third quarter as they tallied two more scores and booted one extra point. The weary and battle-bruised Tigers were still in there pitching at the end, though. They refused to give up, and, leg-weary and exhausted, they fought their way down to the Wildcats one-yard stripe from which point Charley Haynsworth battered his way a-cross the double stripes. Other scoring threats were frustrated and as the two teams trailed off the field in the gatherings dusk, the big scoreboard at Shibe Park told off the score at 25 points for the Villanova Wildcats and 12 for the gallant Plainsmen of Auburn. But the scoreboard could not tell of the brave hearts that fought on and on and down to the last whistle against the overwhelming odds of a fine football team and against the jinx of injuries and other misfortunes. Win or lose, a football team is playing real football when they play as Auburn did Saturday. Cavaliers Play For 'A' Club Dance; Gigantic tSU Parade Is Scheduled Fall All-Campus Track Meet Takes Place November 10 The fall all-campus track meet is to be held Thursday, Nov. 10, 3 p. m. Entry sheets can be signed on the bulletin boards in the gym, Samford Hall. Only a few have entered this event so far, but it is expected that many more will sign up by Thursday. Some of the winners in last year's meet were: Stephenson, high jump, 5 feet 1; Stephenson, shot put, 39 feet 9 inches; Single-tary, broad jump, 18 feet 4 inches; Mitchell, 2 miles, 11:10.5; Moses, 1 mile, 5.00.5; Drake, 880, 2:13.8; Brown, 440, 57.4; Cockrell, 100 yard, 10.8. ALUMNI OF MAGIC CITY COOPERATE IN EVENT "We are endeavoring to make the L. S. U. parade the largest and most colorful Auburn parade," said Joe Pate, Birmingham a l u m n u s in charge of parade arrangements. In a letter to the Plainsman Mr. Pate said that Birmingham alumni have responded perfectly, and with proper student support, the parade should be the largest one Auburn has ever staged. Parade To Begin At 11:30 ' The parade is to start from the Terminal station at 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning, shortly after the train from Auburn arrives. As usual "that great Auburn band" will be the big feature, and the procession will follow it. According to the estimates of Birmingham alumni, there will be 250 or more alumni cars in the parade. Mr. Page said that they were hoping that the students would contribute another 100 cars. The student support to which he referred in his letter was student cooperation in the parade. They want every student in Birmingham to take part in the parade, either in a car or on foot. The parade will begin as soon as the Auburn band arrives at the Terminal Station at 11:30 Saturday morning. Automobiles will be lined up starting on 25th Street and Fifth Avenue North and extending northward on 25th Street toward Sixth Avenue. As the band marches down Fifth Avenue the automobiles will follow. The parade will end in front of the Redmont Hotel where there will be a pep session under the direction of Charlie O'Reilly, Head Cheerleader. Auburn students who live in Birmingham, and who have access to automobiles, are requested to decorate their cars and have them down at the teaminal station by l'l o'clock, as it will take some time to line up the cars in such a way that there will be a minimum of congestion. Ticket Sales Are Good Reports from Birmingham state that ticket sales have been even better than expected, and it is estimated that the crowd will approximate a sellout. Birmingham merchants have joined in the spirit, and have placed "Welcome Auburn" signs in their windows, and a number of them have planned special features for the city's guests. "The students will receive a royal welcome," said Pate, "and we are looking forward to having a real delegation from the Plains." Biggest Player CHESTER. SUL-CEJZ A U 8 t/&A/ TACKLE CHESTER BULGER, a sophomore from Rumford, Me., is the largest member of Auburn's 1938 football squad. Bulger, a husky and agile linesman, weighs 210 pounds. Auburn Sports Writer Gives Notes On Tiger Players, Team By Elmer Salter Second successive Notre Dame-trained coach to guide the Auburn the athletic department at the Tigers in football is Jack Meagher, who has been head man of Plains since 1934. Preceding Coach Meagher at Auburn was Chet Wynne, who resigned to assume a dual athletic role at the University of Kentucky. * * * Largest number of games ever played by an Auburn football team in one season is 11. Both the 1936 and 1937 Tigers saw action this number of times. Auburn's 1936 grid record was seven wins, two ties and two losses and the 1937 Plainsmen won six, tied three and bowed twice. * * * Highest scoring football machine ever to wear Auburn's Orange and Blue is the Tigers great outfit of 1920, which chalked up 318 points in bowling over six opponents and losing to two in eight contests. Winner by several inches, Norman Perry, piano-legged halfback from Atlanta, Ga., is the shortest member of Auburn's 19- 38 football squad. The squatty Perry, who excels in several departments, is five feet, three and three-quarter inches tall. He weighs 172. * * * Complete "football records of the Auburn Tigers up to the 1938 campaign reveals 193 victories, 120 losses and 25 ties in 338 engagements. In these 338 scraps, the Tigers scored 5482 points against 2725 for their foes. * * * Undefeated football teams have worn Auburn's Orange and Blue seven out of 46 campaigns. The Tigers undefeated seasons were in 1893, 1900, 1904, 1908, 1913, 1914, and 1932. * * * "Baby" members of Auburn's grid squad this fall are Halfback Paul Ellis, Atlanta, Ga., and Fullback Ted Fillette, Mobile. Each is 18 years of age. * * * Tallest Auburn football player this season is Tackle Gordon Mac- Eachern, a sophomore. MacEach-ern, who weighs 204, stands six feet, four inches. * * * ' Able to scale only 150 pounds after partaking of a heavy meal, John Davis, senior quarterback from Birmingham, is the midget of Auburn's football squad this year. Even though he is not a giant in size, the dependable Davis, a wise signal caller, nevertheless, is probably the Tigers No. 1 open field blocker. When he cracks 'em in the open, many times they fail to spring up. * * * One division of Auburn's 1938 football team is a 100. per cent native commonwealth crew. The Tigers have six fullbacks and all reside in Alabama.

The problem to be discussed is the funeral plans for the anaemic L. S. U. Tiger, which the football te^am is out to slaughter on Legion Field in Birmingham next Saturday afternoon. Coach Dell Morgan will deliver the oration of the evening, assisted on the program by Bobby Blake, three members of the varsity squad, and three members of the frosh team. The Auburn Glee Club will be on hand to give their interpretation of songs Auburn students know and appreciate. The great million-piece Auburn band will form in front of Langdon Hall at 7:45 and parade downtown to get the students in a fever pitch for the rally, whence they will return to the Hall and turn the meeting over to master of ceremonies, Head Cheerleader Charlie O'Reilly. Last one there is a sissy. Railroad Putting On Special Train Fare To LSU Game For the accommodation of students attending the L. S. U.- Auburn football game, the West Point Route—L & N Railroad will establish a round trip coach rate of $3.70 from Auburn to Birmingham via Montgomery. As a matter of ready reference, students may leave Auburn on train No. 37 at 11:44 a. m., arriving Montgomery 1:05 p. m., and make connection with L & N train No. 8 leaving Montgomery 1:40 p m.., arriving Birmingham 5:00 p. m.

Hear Auburn Cavaliers Thursday. engagements a Chi Sigma TO BE IN AUBURN THURSDAY FOR TEA DANCE The Auburn Cavaliers will return to the campus to play for an "A" Club tea dance Thursday afternoon, after a six-months tour of the East, during which time they have played for the opening dances of such schools as Clem-son, Presbyterian College, VPI, Randolph-Macon, Hampden Sydney, and the College of William and Mary. Tea Dance To Be At 4:30 Thursday The tea dance will last from 4:- 30 u n t i l 8:00, and the price of admission will be i 75 cents. At six' o'clock there will be a 30-minute intermission for supper. Included in their for the week-end is Chi fraternity dance at Clover-dale High School in Montgomery on Friday night at 10 o'clock. The Cavaliers will play for the "A" Club dance following the L. S. U. game Saturday night in Birmingham on the terrace of the Thomas Jefferson Hotel. This dance will begin at 9 o'clock and will feature the cabaret effect of the ball room and its adjoining banquet hall. Auburn fraternal organizations will occupy tables in these two rooms. Tables may be reserved through Tom Edwards, "A" Club representative. Tickets will be $1.00. The "A" Club is trying to make arrangements to have this dance broadcast. According to Johnnie Davis, President of the "A" Club, "The Cavaliers will help Auburn to put on a real show in Birmingham for the L. S. U. game and will give visitors and supporters a swell impression of our musical talent down here on the Plains. Auburn should be proud of the fact that these boys in the band have retained their original name." The Cavaliers are working under the booking of Holt Pump-shires, who gave Kay Kyser his professional impetus in the musical world. Pumpshires says that the Cavaliers have the best band he has ever handled, and that they are much better than Kay Kyser's orchestra was at the same stage of development. The Piedmont Driving Club, an exclusive Atlanta country club, has signed the Cavaliers for an engagement toward the end of the month, which will be followed by a short trip to Tampa before returning to the East. Ellington Will Not Appear Duke Ellington and his band, originally scheduled to appear at the Birmingham "A" Club dance, will not be there, as his contract has been cancelled. The Cavaliers left school last May to play an engagement at the Tantilla Gardens at Richmond. From there they went to Myrtle Beach, S. C, Isle of Palms, S. C, Atlanta Beach, N. C, Wrightsville Beach, N. C, and since that time have been playing opening dances at the following colleges: Hamp-den- Sydney, William and Mary, Randolph-Macon, Clemson, Converse, and Presbyterian College. After the Birmingham engagement Saturday night the Cavaliers will return to Columbia, S. C, where they will make record;; for the Brunswick Recording Company. • During Thanksgiving week they will be playing several exclusive club dates in Atlanta and vicinity, after which they go north a-gain to play a return engagement ^Continued on page four) PAGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 The Auburn Plainsman Published Semi-Weekly By The Students Of The( Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama Editorial and business offices at Lee County Bulletin Office on Tichenor Avenue.

One Born Every Minute That old circus man, Barnum, was right. There's one born every minute. The recent radio drama based upon H. G. Wells' story of a war between worlds proved that, just as James Gordon Bennett's fantastic story of wild animals at large in New York did a generation ago. Back in Bennett's day the New York Herald devoted its front page to news that the animals had escaped from their cages in the New York zoological gardens and were roaming through the streets. The following day, after a wave of hysterical alarm had swept the city, The Herald said its story was published to show what might occur if inadequate cages and enclosures were not speedily improved. Here in Auburn, suckers are born every minute, too. Friday's issue of the paper proved that. The number of poor souls who actually believed the old annual hoax about the staff forcing the Editor and Business Manager of the Plainsman to abdicate is surprising. Scores are sucked in on the same old fantastic tale year after year. John Godbold and Roy Taylor of the editorial staff and Bob Armstrong of the business staff were in charge of the Plainsman while the heads of the publication were attending a press convention in Cincinnati. Their issue was well written and well made up. They deserve all commendation for their job and have the sincere thanks of the Editor and Business Manager for their help. Why Pupils Quit School A federal survey in San Francisco has been investigating the affairs of youth to determine why pupils quit school. They have found, as they could have learned from almost any parent, that lack of funds is the most important reason. Lack of interest, incompatability, bash-fulness, and falling in love were other reasons. But the best reason comes from a youth who quit school simply because he hit his teacher over the head with a clarinet. Unfortunately the name of this apt pupil was withheld, but it is an even bet that this young man will go far in a fast-moving world. Once the flimsy instrument had crashed on the teacher's head, the unnamed hero lost no time in idle deliberation. He walked quickly to the nearest exit and ended his school days then and there. His music may have suffered by his experience, but his logic in quitting school appears to rate one hundred per cent. Delegate Demeanor A convention delegate is a very important school reflector. Several staff members made this often-realized observation at the Collegiate Press assembly. This thought has been expressed many times, but the emphasis on the thought is seldom ample. When an organization or institution sends a delegate to a convention where representatives from like groups are assembled, the delegate rarely is given any suggestions or admonitions as to his conduct at the convention. Too frequently the behavior of delegates bears out this shortcoming on the part of the group represented. A dark light on a delegate means a dark light on the school or organization represented, as far as the other convention attendants are concerned. They in turn take the news to their schools, and the direct and indirect ill effects are far reaching. The delegate is an ambassador of good or bad will. The aggressiveness or lack of aggressiveness is one of the most criticized characteristics, and general behavior and friendliness are equally as important. Many a school and organization has been put in a bad light by the misconduct of its representatives. There cannot be too much emphasis placed on delegate demeanor. L.E.F. Longest Bar The World's Fair is going to have the longest bar in the world. It is a doubtful honor, but has an appeal to outsiders. Apparently the quality of drinks is vouched for by extension of size. The Shanghai bar is world-famed. The Aintree bar for the Grand National is said to have covered a block. More attractive bait for the more general tastes at the Fair will be the serving of the crack dishes of every city and region in the country. Whether these will be as well prepared and have the same smack as in their native homes remains to be seen. At any rate, visitors will have a chance to add to their experiences in eating. More than that, if the visitor is cold to new dishes, he can regale himself with his favorite home items. Even in the tropics many Americans insist on flapjacks and ham and eggs and sausage for breakfast. Everybody Jo his own taste. , If a visitor's taste is varied, he can satif-fy his curiosity about the food and drink of every country under heaven. To be twenty-one in 1939 with the appetite and purse to eat and drink one's way from Alsace and Armenia to Spain and Sweden will be a happy adventure. Catch Words "Man does not live by bread alone—but mostly by catchwords." Failing to think about the catchwords in the air, most men are easy marks for vicious-ness, selfishness, and all manner of evil things which constantly plague us in this world. "Loyalty" is a good word, but see how it is bent to base uses by cheap opportunists and mere politicians. Many men, when they hear the word, go blind and follow carelessly whatever jingoist says it. "Cooperation" is a good word, but see what it becomes in the hands of unscrupulous self-seekers when they have axes to grind. For it, too, blinds men when they hear it. Think on these things, and subject all catch-phrases to rigid analysis. If your loyalty to good things is demanded, give it. If your cooperation for good ends is asked, give it. But let the good be your guide, not the catchword. Highway Zoning The highway of the horse-and-buggy days, while far from meeting the needs of an all-weather road, at least offered beauty to the eye and rest of the spirit. Because of the lack of vision of engineers who designed and built our modern highways, and through the unrestrained greed of commercial enterprises, a great wave of ugliness has flooded the roadsides, cheapening and commercializing our American countryside. More than sixty per cent of our motor travel today is recreational. Our highways are the great playgrounds of our people. The tourist has become the mark of the leading industry in many states. And tourists seek the routes of unmarred beauty. Even the taxpayers are beginning to realize that attractive highways draw more travel. State highway departments are awakening to the need of highway beautification. In many states a landscape division seeks to widen right-of-ways, push back utility poles, and save natural shrubs and trees along the road. Banks are flattened to give a natural effect and ditches are made broad and shallow. In short, the foremost highway engineers today seek to fit the highway to the landscape. The modern highway reveals rather than mars the beauty of the countryside. We are all for taxes on every sign placed along the highways, for a ruling to make signs be placed back a certain distance from the road, and for concerted efforts to check the large boards of the organized billboard industry.

YOU NEVER WOULD SUSPECT this of John Dryden after the things of his you read in "Survey of English Literature," but the following is a piece of his work, probably written one day when he was tired of writing his "Essay of Dramatic Poesy" or something equally as stimulating: Epitaph Intended For His Wife Here lies my wife; here let her lie.

THE WAY THAT MANY of us feel while we are in church is expressed by George Outran. On hearing a lady praise a certain preacher's eyes, he wrote: "I cannot praise the doctor's eyes; I never saw his glance divine, He always shuts them with he prays, And when he preaches, he shuts mine." * * * 677. AND JUST WHAT WILL BE the results of the Plainsman "You Be the Editor" poll? Will writers of seldom-read material relinquish their space to some others, or is the make-up of the paper going to remain as it is, regardless of the opinions expressed by the students? Or is the whole thing just another exhibition of America's favorite pastimes— voting. * * * 1031. WE HEARTILY ENDORSE Laurens Pierce's bit of satire that appeared on the front of page of last Tuesday's Plainsman. Prank playing on Hallowe'en is fun; but endangering lives is a horse with another collar. There seem to be a number of students on the campus who came to the wrong institution. Their true Alma Mater is located at Tuscaloosa— and it is not the U. of A. either. (Incidentally, we hope some of the Auburn High School students read Pierce's editorial, too.) * * * 5.

Philip Space THE CO-EDS ARE ALL after the scalps of Farley and Schwartz, according to the latest rumors which have been circulating a-mong the feminine contingent. It seems as if the Glomerata boys were in an enormous rush to get "Miss Auburn" elected before the co-eds could get together and talk the situation over while guzzling cups of P. Bag's blackest exam-speed coffee. So instead of nominating the head Amazon on Monday, the boys had a conference and decided that it would be too much trouble for that. So what do we have?

Vet Notes By H. B. Title ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING phases of veterinary medicine is meat inspection. The inspection of meat by a qualified veterinarian insures the public that the meat and meat products they consume are free from any diseases that might be obtained from infected meat. * * * SINCE meat and meat products are regarded as the most important source of nourishment for mankind, a thorough system of meat inspeciton is necessary and should be extended to include all establishments that slaughter animals to amn through meat, togeth-in the preparation and distribution of meat or meat products. * * * THE POSSIBILITY of transmitting various diseases from animals to man through meat, together with the danger of meat pois-ioning resulting from deterioration or contamination of meat, necessitates constant vigilance in the preparation and distribution of meat and products containing meat. * * * ONE OF THE MAIN COURSES offered to students here in veter-many of the gullible Auburn students got sucked in on the "Editor Skips" headline in last Friday's issue. They should have known better. And anyhow, another story appeared right in the front page stuff that said plain as the nose on the genial "Scoop" Burns that Ye Ed Godbold and Grisham, et al. were in Cincinnati, sopping up a convention held among the other copy-slaughterers of college newspapers. That just shows you how thoroughly the students read the paper. The ideal way, as outlined by Godbold, is to look at the masthead and see if it is the Plainsman, glance at the headlines, look in the gossip columns for your name, read the editorial page for grammatical errors, and throw the paper at your roommate, who will immediately consign it to the wastebasket, where it should have been in the first place. * * * "IT'S ALL in the way you do it," said the Editor, as he fell down six flights of stairs, editing the paper on the way down. Gift Of Grab By Bob Anderson Birmingham-Southern students have instituted a dating bureau on their campus. According to the "Gold and Black" the general opinion seems to be that the bureau will be a success with a little time allowed for getting rid of a certain "timidness" among students. When asked if he thought the idea was practical, one professor stated: "You known darn well it'll work. Look at the way boys and girls act in my classes. I have to remind them constantly that I teach economics and not practical romance." * * * Some 3,272 people died of gas last year.

The class inspected the White Provision Company in Atlanta and were shown through the plant by officials. The journey was started at the stockyards where the animals were brought to be slaughtered. The guide explained the method of buying cattle and hogs for the market. The killing floors were next on the docket. Here the animals are slaughtered by U. S. government Inspectors. The class were also carried through the different departments where various meat products such as ham, bacon, sausage, and numerous other products were prepared. Before Tomorrow By John Godbold GROVER HALL writes as he pleases in his Montgomery Advertiser and in the process turns out some of the best editorializing in the South. But sometimes in the heat of his subject Editor Hall says things that maybe he doesn't quite mean. In this classification comes his statement in Sunday's Advertiser: "Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus-solina may be more expert in the art of demagoguery than Mr. Roosevelt, but our smiling President, if need be, could meet them on their own ground." Webster's dictionary defines a demagogue as "An insincere politician, orator, or leader who stirs up popular prejudice to gain office or influence." That shoe doesn't fit President Roosevelt. We can never be convinced that he is insincere. He has fought consistently for those things which he believes the United States and her people need and will benefit from. On a few occasions his methods of gaining the end in view might have been more wisely chosen, but at least his methods have been open. Criticize his methods if you must, but do not label him as insincere in the ends which he seeks. Furthermore, he may call upon people's senses of social justice, their common sense, their feelings of fairness and equality—but these are not "popular prejudices." They are high principles. We grant that we can think of one or two occasions when the President has appeared to prejudice, but never has he done so to an extent that would justify his being termed a demagogue. * * * In a number of colleges, particularly in the Midwest and Far West, it is the custom for seniors— and seniors only—to dress at all times in corduroys of a uniform color and sweaters.

Auburn is proud of you for Saturday's performance. * * * AS THIS GOES TO PRESS an election will be under way in New York state to decide whether Herbert H. Lehman or Thomas E. Dewey will be the next governor. And Dewey, a young man of 36 who at first wasn't given an outside chance to win, is coming down the home stretch side by side with Gov. Lehman, a popular executive and a discreet politician. Dewey's campaign has been unusually clean-cut and open. He has shot his bolts even against elements of his own party. Recently he heard of the support which was being given him by Anti-Semitic groups. (Gov. Lehman is a Jew.) His reply was: "I condemn and despise any support based on racial or religious prejudice. There are some things more important than being elected Governor, and one is a spirit of religious and racial good-will. I would rather go down to defeat than be elected by any votes based on race or religion." Which statement left no doubt as to its meaning, and was very good politics, too. Whether he wins or whether he loses, Thomas Dewey has earned the respect of his opponents as well as the members of his own party. He'll be our best man some day."

LOWE'S MEN'S FASHIONS Dr. Charles Davis Speaks Wednesday Dr. Charles Davis, of the history department of A. P. I., spoke before members of the West Point, Ga., Lions' Club last Wednesday. His talk dealt with the effects of the present European situation u-pon the United States. Dr. Davis told members that our government is rapidly changing its foreign policies, realizing that eventually this country must take a stand in defending the democracies of the Western Hemisphere. As to what the U. S. is attempting to do, he said our government is beginning to arm as never before; that it is obviously planning to subsidize utilities which could be quickly transformed into munition factories in case of war; that President Roosevelt will probably advocate the subsidation of railroads as a precautionary war measure; that a program is already underway to rewin the friendship of the Latin-American countries through a good neighbor policy. "The United States," he said, "can hardly feel safe simply because she is separated from Europe by two large oceans." He said further that totalitarian states had been trying to root the U. S. out of Latin-America, that Japan had been underselling us, trade concessions have been made, radio broadcasting stations erected in Latin-America for propaganda purposes to curtail U. S. influence in the South and dictatorships will result. He also called attention to activities of the German-American Bund and spies in our country as indications that our government needs to wake up to the needs of internal defense. 'Everyone Knows Enough To Lead Perfect Life' Is Keynote Of Carnegie's Speech FOR RENT—Furnished room. Next to J. W. Wright's Dry Good Store. 136 N. College. Call 452. By Martin Wender Dale Carnegie, who is the Missouri- born grandson of Robert Breckenbridge, an inveterate Confederate, visited the Southland on Oct. 31 to speak to the people of Columbus on the importance of human relations. Under the auspices of the Pilot Club, a leading woman civic organization of that city, Mr. Carnegie addressed one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the history of Columbus. In the year 1930 Dale Carnegie and two associates started the first laboratory on human relations that the world has ever known. After months of thorough research in every field of endeavor, Mr. Carnegie published a text book on their findings which was to be given away without charge to the large business concerns; this free text became the modern best seller. Strange as it may seem, the five other books of Mr. Carnegie which were to be sold to the public have passed into oblivion. Practise Necessary To Success The keynote of his most interesting lecture was that "everyone knows enough to lead a perfect life, yet these important principles are not practiced. To be a success in any one thing, a person must practice continuously." "If we are to be a success, the cooperation of others must be had, but the only way to make others cooperate is to make them want to. Talk in terms of other people's wants, if you want your own desires satisfied." In quoting Professor James of Harvard, eminent psychologist, Mr. Carnegie said, "The craving of people to be appreciated is a trait that will lead men and women to great accomplishments. People want to be important; everyone has the desire to be great." )^2SS)^2R2S2*0S0S0,0#0*0*o,0#o#0#0,0"0»o»(J»o»o»o»o»o»oto»o»o»o«o»o«o»o»o«o«o»o«o«o«o»o»o»ofo»o»c o#o»o*o»^«o»o»o»o»o»o«o»o»o«o»o«Q»o»o»o»o«o»o«D»3«o«o«o«u»o»j«^«u«a»Q«o»o«o»o«o»o»oio»o«o»n»o«o«vf 1 •o Yea Auburn!!!!I BEAT LSU LET'S GO - - Co-Eds For Real Touchdown Styles In Ready-to-Wear And Accessories COME TO New Williams 1911 Third Ave. Birmingham, Ala. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMillliniliMiM H i WELCOME AUBURN S88S88SSSSSSSSS888S8888SSS8£SSSSS8S8S8S8S8SSSS8S8SSSSSS£SSSS;SSS:s;SSSS£;sS£SS:i Make this old Birmingham Store Your Headquarters Next Saturday ;2SS8SSSSSS£8£3S8S8S8SSSSSSSSS8S8SS.SSS8S8SS£S£8S8SSSSS8£SS8S3S8£3S8SSS8S3SSS8S8S Burger Phillips 8 % :• Comments On Charles Schwab With reference to Charles Schwab, the only man in the country to ever earn a million dollars a year, he said, "His natural ability to deal with people was his greatest asset. Because he was lavish in his praise for fellow workers, he was a custodian of their confidence. "There is a decided difference between praising a person and flattering him. Do not flatter anyone! It does not work; it is like counterfeit money because this practice will catch up with you." "Before criticising one we should always remember that criticism wounds a man's pride; it closes all avenues of progress. No man or woman blames themselves ,for anything. Why even Al Capone considered himself a benefactor to the public good. Criticism gets us exactly what we do not want. (Mr. Carnegie wrote the "book entitled "Lincoln, the Unknown) Lincoln's method of dealing with men was 'Judge not and be not judged.' "Humanity will improve when man first perfects himself. The very momet man's spite against himself begins, he then makes progress. Interest In Others Necessary To Make Friends "The surest way to make friends is to be sincerely interested in the welfare of others, to get others to talk about themselves, and to talk about what they like and not about what you like. If you can do something for someone to make him feel important, a new friend has been won. Who is it that a small puppy has more friends than many people? Simply because his wagging tail makes everyone'feel that he is interested in them and has a real affection for them. A lame dog, Calculator who put down three and carried one, was a mascot during the World War, and it was known to be a fact that this dog had friends all over the world. The reason— an unselfish interest in other people." Woman's Face Means More Than Clothes To the women Mr. Carnegie had these words of wisdom: "Your facial expression means more than pretty clothes. Facial expressions will get pretty clothes." "By remembering a person's name," he went on to say, "you keep in your possession the sweetest thing that the person possesses. Jim Farley's success in politics is due to his phenomenal a-bility to remember a person's name. It has been said that he knows the first name of about 100,000 people. "Success in business, in the legal profession, in the field of engineering, and even in the realm of society depends upon the ability to get the other's point of! view." To vividly illustrate his point Mr. Carnegie said, "When we go fishing, we bait the hook with what the fish wants and not with what we like." In concluding he urged everyone to try the following four points which are easy to apply and are certain to bring about better human relations between us and the people with whom we come in contact: 1. Praise before condemning. 2. Criticise indirectly. 3. Minimize a mistake. 4. Find the wrong in yourself.

Kernodle, who did three years' undergraduate work at Auburn. While a student here Mr. Kernodle, a native of Texas, gave Camp Hill, Alabama, as his home address, and he was graduated from Camp Hill High School in 1922. He was a student in the School of Science and Literature, taking s general course with an English major. Most of his work in English literature was done under the direction of Professor J. R. Rutland. After leaving Auburn Mr. Kernodle studied at the University of Dallas, Catholic University, the University of Chicago, and Yale University. At the present time he is Director of Dramatics in Cleveland College of Western Reserve University. He is well known as a Godbold Brothers To Meet Irish Debaters Soon Two young debaters from Great Britain will come to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute on Nov. 29, in W. P. A. Hall, to debate the Auburn team on whether or not the American judicial system inevitably leads to a certain amount of corruption. Auburn will be represented by the Godbold brothers, Edwin and John, who will uphold the negative side of the question. The foreign debaters will be William T. Williams, graduate of the University of London, and William A. Beers, graduate of the University of Dublin. Edwin Godbold, editor of the Auburn Plainsman, is a senior in foreign service and John Godbold is a member of the junior class in pre-law. The debate has been arranged by Prof. E. D.

Charles Stewart Parnell, who died in 1891, visited his brother John in Chambers County at least twice during his lifetime, said Professor Rutland. John Parnell returned to Ireland in the latter part of his life and was also elected to Parliament. He died in 1923. contributor to Theatre Arts Magazine.

In Sales By Nancye Thompson Of course if you've had your eyes open, aren't blind, or have gotten around at all in the circles where the feminine sex moves, you have noticed this weird concoction in coiffures known as the "up-hair do." The latter phenomenon is a piled mass of assorted curls in the upward sweep, generally organized with the aid and abettment of bobbie pins, hair pins and a ribbon or two. It's sweeping the country from the Astors to the Mulligans; debutantes, co-eds, office stenogs, hat check girls, and Harlem flat-foot floogies—they're all caught in the web of its fatal fascination. We think the movies are to blame for the spread of the epidemic—they usually are. After hearing the pros and cons, the left-wingers and the right wingers and the mugwumps who ride the fence, we've decided that it's a toss-up, but the burning question is still with us. Nothing is settled yet but at least you know where these important men stand on the subject: Campus Characters Quoted Oliver Fletcher: simply, "It looks like HELL!" Roy Taylor: after a prelude of muttering under his breath, "It looks like Monday morning wash day. Most of them look as if they had washed their hair, rolled it up and were too damned lazy to comb it." Neil Davis: "I think it's fetching!" (refused to comment further.) Bobby Chestnut: "It's fine if you've got the right ears to go with it." Tony Cortina: "It looks swell in the bath tub or under a shower." (Well!) Aubrey Garrison: "Oh my goodness—I like it DOWN!" Paul Bagley: "It all depends on the dame under it." (diplomacy?) Fred Boswell "Blondes wear it better than brunettes—but 'then I'm partial to blondes anyway." (uh-huh, we know.) Frank Rigell ':'It looks like the girl was interrupted in the middle of a shampoo." Bob Gibbons: "It's right cute— really it's all right with me if the ladies want a change." David Rogers: "On some, yes, others I know of, NO!" Allen Cowart: "I like the old-fashioned, sweet type better—unsophisticated. And another thing —this may sound inconsistent, but I hate those damned hoop skirts they're wearing too." The Knights: "It's definitely out of the groove with us—we're agin' it!" Ernest Rouse: "It's awful! Ifs grounds for destruction." Bobby Lawrence: "Besides looking like Hell it looks like scrambled onions. Bill Milam: "I think it sets off the girl's beauty to a great extent." Elmore Ragan: "It looks like the girl washed her hair and it shrunk. I don't like it." Unidentified Persons Comment Others who commented but requested that their names be withheld said: "It's too dramatic. It's definitely a get-up for a special festive occasion. It is not becoming to the majority of women. Pledges Of Sigma Chi Frat Are Entertained Saturday The Sigma Pi fraternity entertained its pledges Saturday night with a halloween party. The living room was decorated to represent a hay loft of an old bam along with the usual halloween lighting and decoration effects. Those attending were: Charles Pearson, Anne Hamilton; Ben Foshee, Elaine Pittman, Julian Edge, Virginia Riley; Bill Henderson, Betty Belle Brandt; Buddy Boteler, Jane Bayliss; Don Odell, Laurie Houston; George Garrett, Mirian Chesnutt; Haskell Johnson, Marion Hurley; Melvin Ha-good, Frances Ford; James Mc- Crea, Sara Wallace; Mike Blevins. Mary Agnes Shipman; Walter Clements, Bobbie Davis. Marshall Brawner, Sara Steele; Bob Wilkinson, Ruth Hawkins; Charles Plosser, Geneva Ford; Harry Lee Welstead, Robert Brewer, Jack Young, Clyde Brown, Bill Davenport, Gus Hol-lings. Later in the evening refreshments were served and the crowd adjourned with usual Halloween hilarity. Why not compromise between the long-bob and the short if the long-bob is out of style?" "It is the 'acid test' of beauty." Some brought to mind the old saying, "A woman's hair is her crowning glory," as a point in favor of the long-bob. "It depends on the contour of the face—the majority can't get away with it." "It's a good excuse for women to wear those crazy little hate." "Lady Godiva and Rapunzel are the only women I can think of off hand on whom the 'high hairdo' wouldn't be an improvement." "It's fascinating but only if it's artistically done—if it droops in places and is frizzy on the ends. No." "It's going to make an awful hole in the co-ed's allowance, the upkeep on it." "A woman with her hair done up makes me think she's either ready for the shower or the opera— depending on the woman." "It keeps me in too much suspense— I'm afraid I'm going to muss it or maybe it will fall down." "50,000,000 women can't be wrong." After all this I can only caution the co-eds to make a note of who said what ^about it and act accordingly, depending on which of these men you're most interested in pleasing. Or if a non-conformist and want to be different, go right ahead, you might even get away with it!

Knights To Make First Tour Since Their Reorganization The Auburn Knights, ever popular campus orchestra, will journey to Troy Thursday evening on the first tour since their reorganization, to furnish music for the Charity Ball that will be held on that night. Marion Military Institute will be the scene set for the orchestra this week-end when they will play for the opening dances on that campus on Friday and Saturday nights. The Knights, under the directorship of Robin Russell and Tubby Griffin, business manager, will return to Auburn Sunday. Baptist Missionary To Speak Friday Will Present Ventriloquist Dummy He Uses In Brazil Rev. W. W. Enete, Baptist Missionary to Brazil, will speak at a special missionary service to be held at the First Baptist Church, Friday, Nov. 11 at 7 p. m. Rev. Enete's message will be supplemented by pictures and other illustrative material. Probably the most unique and interesting feature of the service will be the appearance of Rev. Enete's Sammy, who is a ventriloquist's dummy. Sammy is known as the Charlie McCarthy of Brazil. Rev. Enete is an expert ventriloqiust. Before going to Brazil in 1934, Rev. Enete used his ability as a ventriloquist only for entertainment. After a short time in Brazil, he conceived the idea of using his ability in another way. As he was working with children, Rev. Enete, saw the need of something to draw and hold the attention of the children. From a large South American nut and a few odds and ends, a dummy called Johnny was created. The children were delighted with Johnny, and were always happy when Uncle Billy, as they called Rev. Enete, made Johnny talk for them. After the creation of Johnny, someone gave Rev. Enete another dummy. This new dummy was named Sammy. Since that time, Sammy has become famous throughout all of Brazil. This dummy, Sammy, has been an invaluable aid to Rev. Enete, in his work as a missionary. All Baptist students, and anyone else interested, are cordially invited to attend the Friday night meeting, and see and hear Uncle Billy with Sammy.

G-E Campus /Vews "FROM AMERICA, FROM IHVIA. FROM ENGLAND" SCANNING the recent rolls of young men on Test with General Electric gives the impression of reading membership lists in an "International House" at some large university. For, intermingled with graduates of engineering schools all over the United States are, for. example, Cariapa from Kashmir, in India; Bambery, from " 'way down under" in New Zealand; Gurewitsch, of Roumania; and Chia-Hsu Hou, of China. But predominating in the picture are picked men from American colleges and universities. Selecting names at random from the various Tests inevitably shows student engineers from widely separated parts of the country working side by side. Miller of Arizona U. and Olsen of Brooklyn Tech. worked together on motor and generator tests. Schmid of Wisconsin ran turbine tests with Norris of Texas Tech. Testing induction motors were Loew of Washington and Owens of Union College. General Electric's executives look upon this Test training as more than a graduate course in engineering—it is a carefully formulated plan of training young engineers for leadership in industry. "MIDGET SUH" E \ ) R years Old Sol has had things pretty much his own way—causing sunburn, having sunspots, and wandering periodically north and south of the equator. Omega Zeta Of Lambda Chi Alpha Entertains With Formal Dance Omega Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha entertained with its annual house-party Nov. 4-6, the chief feature of which was a formal dance to be held at Graves Center (W. P. A. Hall) with music by the Auburn Knights. Following the dance, which began at 9:30 p. m., there was a breakfast at the chapter house attended by members and pledges and dates. On Saturday the fraternity again entertained at the chapter house with a closed afternoon dance, only a few close friends of the members being present. The dance was led by Miss Sara Peay of Birmingham who was escorted by the chapter president, Ernest R. Floyd of Huntsville. Corsages and decorations for the event carried out the scheme inspired by the fraternity colors—purple, green, and gold. In addition, there was the traditional candle-lit dinner preceding the dance Friday night, and a buffet supper Saturday night. Among the guests who were present were: Evelyn Wilson, Fitzgerald, Ga.; Roselyn Holmes, Tif-ton, Ga.; Margaret MacPherson, University of Georgia; Margaret Root, Huntsville; Marguerite Creel, Fairfield; Dell Wright, Fitzgerald, Ga.; Florence Threadgill, Huntingdon College; Carol Tucker, Montgomery; Inez Heigler, Montgomery; Edith Cecil Carson, Montgomery; Laurie Houston, Auburn; Christine Clifton, Center; Eleanor" Kelley, Tifton; Emily Wiggins, Birmingham; Margaret Lindon, Leeds; Se-lina Baker, Birmingham; Elizabeth Ley den, Anniston; Mary Alice Ford, Montgomery; Sara Ann Spear, Tampa, Fla.; Dot Yancey, Tuskegee; Julia Ridley, Tuscumbia; Lucile Gibson, Auburn; Alice Lee Howard, Tuskegee; Pauline Weatherington, Mobile; Louise Sullivan, Montgomery; Mae McCord, Montgomery; Dot Siler, Birmingham; Jea-netta Turenr, Montgomery; Kay Kennedy, Agnes Scott College; Jane Ussery, Ashland; Katharine Quattlebaum, Conway, S.

Penton, Ed Gatchell, and the members on the faculty. Cardinal Key Gives Tea For Women Students Sunday Sunday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 Cardinal Key entertained the women students whose birthdays are in July, August, September, or October with a tea in Smith Hall. Guests were selected in this manner to encourage girls from various campus groups to become better acquainted with each other. Miss Zoe Dobbs and Dr. Rosa Lee Walston were present to meet the guests. Members of Cardinal Key assisting at the tea were: Clara Thagard, Rachael Hereford, Ruby Pitts, Eleanor Scott, Ruby Helen Stokes, Camilla Newberry, and Rene Gibson. Beck Is Guest Speaker At Opelika Teachers' Meeting Prof. M. L. Beck of the School of Education, was the guest speaker at the monthly faculty meeting of Opelika school teachers held last Tuesday. Prof. Beck emphasized the need for far reaching goals for individuals and society instead of short cuts to progress and immediate attainment of aims. He stated: "True growth and progress come only as firmer foundations are laid. That gain is real which comes slowly as the result of labor expended. Achievement is something for which people pay; attainment is something we reach through effort." Alabama Colleges Receive Loans From PWA Recently Hope of obtaining federal approval of the three A. P. I. buildings not yet passed on by the P. W. A., was renewed yesterday with the announcement of grants to other Alabama colleges this week. The University received a loan of $129,000 and a grant of $105,- 545 for two school buildings. Huntingdon College received a loan of $49,000 and a grant of $40,091. Montevallo was granted $12,240 for two college libraries and $175,- 000 loan and a $141,363 grant for a college building. Now a young upstart about the size of a cigarette has been announ'ced by General Electric. It is the new iooo-watt mercury lamp, which, even though many million times smaller than the sun, has one fifth the brilliancy of Old Sol's surface. Source of the brilliant light is the lamp's highly concentrated arc—ia times more brilliant than the incandescent filament of a iooo-watt standard projection lamp. Laboratory tests show that the " upstart" will be of great value in searchlights, photoengraving, blueprinting, photoenlarging, and as an aid to medical science. GENERAL ® ELECTRIC NOTICE Notices are being mailed to all students to the effect that registration fees and charges for the second quarter of the first semester are due on Nov. 14 and 15.

W. Gay A crowd of approximately 500 people were on hand Saturday night to witness one of the most entertaining programs ever staged by the ag club. The W. P. A. amphitheater was the seat of the funful event. The feature event was the crowning of Miss Mable Gray 'Harvest Queen' by Prof. Guyton of the Zoology department. A hog-calling contest was participated in by many, but Bill Eden won first honors. One of the choice events was the mock faculty. The students could tell what they wanted to about their profs, so they mocked only their past ones. Earl Kennamer demonstrated his talent as a tobacco auctioneer by giving several chants used by the men as they sell the tobacco to the bidders. There were many other interesting events such as the climbing of the greased pole. According to Dean Funchess, the exhibits were the best this year since the inauguration of the ag fair several years ago. Excepting only a few, all departments on Ag hill displayed their work through an individual exhibit. The soil conservation service presented a very educational and interesting exhibit, which was shown at the Lee County fair at Opelika a few weeks past. Cavaliers Phi Beena Krabba is the name of a Colby College honorary fra ternity. (Continued from Page One) at the Tantilla Gardens in Richmond. It has been stated that this engagement will be broadcast on a coast to coast CBS hook-up. The band will leave the Tantilla just before Christmas to return south playing one-night engagements between Richmond and Tampa, Fla., where they have been engaged for a big New Years Eve celebration. Far-Advanced For College Band Every year many college bands attempt to break into porfessional business and it is very rare for one to succeed. The Cavaliers' success in this has gained the attention of all the major booking offices and inside information has it that they will open in the beautiful Rainbow Room, Denver, Colo., during the month of January. The personnel of the band consists of Skeets Morris, director and vocalist from the University of Arkansas, Doug Broyles, Frank Bernard, Earle Pledger, Pat Hill, Daniel Roth, Silas Green, Henry Vaughn, Gabe Julian "Ole Boy" Holmberg, and Jimmie Hooper, manager. One of the outstanding features of the band is Connie Moore, girl vocalist, formerly with Frank Daileys' orchestra. Added entertainment is furnished by a comedy quartet, "The Swinging Gates," and solos by Earle Pledger and "Hinky Vaug-han." High personnel standards and rigid organization rules have led the band to achieve an enviable reputation in a social as well as musical world. It is believed that Jitterbug Jubilee On Tiger Stage Dan Fitch's "Jitterbug Jubilee" will be presented on the stage of the Tiger Theater Thursday. Local theater-goers are looking forward to this show not only because it is a Dan Fitch show but because it is featuring the new Jitterbug dance. Last season Dan Fitch produced the raging and ruling Insanity of the year labeled "The Big Apple." Remember? The current craze, danced to the tune of "Flat Foot Floogee With A Floy Floy" is known as "The Jitterbug." You definitely are not in the swim these days if you are not a "Jitterbug" or if you do not have a "Jitterbug" in your family. Of course, if you're over 60 and your blood pressure is high, you may be content simply to sit by and watch the "Jitterbugs" do their jittering. Even at that age, though, you'll be tempted. Dan's show is said to feature a group of America's loveliest glamour girls in the most dynamic, daring, dance of the decade. In addition, the show has an array of splendid entertainers and an excellent swing band. And on the scree Lola Lane and Paul Kelly play Torchy Blane and her detective boy friend in the latest of the popuar series "Torchy Blane in Panama." Players, Team (Continued from page one) Cantrell is from Lanett, Ross Dean is a local boy, John Shearer is from Georgiana, and Ted Fillette is from Mobile. * * * Foremost ambition of Abb Chrietzberg, Auburn No. 1 sophomore football center this year, is to emulate the record chalked up at the Plains by his' illustrious brother, Will, who was the Tigers' ace pivot mainstay on the gridiron in 1933. The younger Chrietzberg, a local lad, is a football neophyte,' but he stands an excellent chance of developing into a top-flight performer if he, becomes heavier. He's very aggressive, determined and willing, and learns easily. * * * Leaders of Auburn's 1938 football team are both Alabama boys. Captain Bo Russell, All-Southeastern Conference tackle, hails from Birmingham, and Alternate- Captain Pig Walker, quarterback is a native of Dotharf? in due time the band will be recognized as one of the country's best musical attractions and at this stage they are well on the road to success. Lone newcomer to Auburn's football coaching ranks this season is Porter Grant, one of the Tigers greatest ends of all-time. From 1934 until he became one of Auburn's assistant mentors and alumni secretary last December, Grant was one of Coach Chet Wynne's first lieutenants at the University of Kentucky. He graduated at Auburn in 1933 and coached one season at the Plains before going to Kentucky. Campus Events Today 7 p. m., the Open Forum Club will hold its first meeting in Broun 421.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 Phi Psi Holds Bi-Annual Smoker For Textile Students Phi Psi, national honorary textile fraternity, held its bi-annual smoker for the textile boys last Monday night. The members of Phi Psi and many of the textile boys were present to enjoy the smokes and jokes. Phi Psi is very active in the textile department here. It spon-sers a smoker each semester, an annual Open House, and the Cotton Ball every spring. Members of the fraternity are selected from the junior and senior classes in textile engineering on the basis of scholarship, character, and leadership. The next meeting of Phi Psi will be held next Monday night at seven o'clock. All members are urged to be present.

It is important that those su-dents who have not yet been able to participate in this election add their voice to the poll. Ballots will be distributed to members of the various organizations and clubs which are meeting during the week, and a large number of ballots will be left with Mrs. Jolly at the Student Center for those students who wish to vote there. It is hoped that the results of this poll will help the editorial staff of the Plainsman make definite improvements in the makeup of the paper that will make it not only readable to the greatest number of the students but also make the ediorial policy of he paper conform more generally to the opinions expressed in the poll. Suggestions as to improvements in the stories and columns and comments of any nature are very much desired, and this is the students' chance to tell what they think of the paper in perhaps no uncertain terms. Muhlenberg College was named for the Lutheran patriarch, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg. Its first president was Rev. Frederick A. Muhlenberg.

He is a high scoring forward on the court and a heavy hitting first sacker on the diamond. * * * Last year Auburn's Ross Dean, a local boy, sold football programs at the games.
