Stop That Ripple! VOL. LXIV Z-I Hw Plainsman, Start Politickin' Freshmen! ' 'A UBUKN—the friendliest college in the United States" ALABAMA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, AUBURN, ALABAMA, OCTOBER 4, 1940 No. 8 Freshmen to Run ODK Cake Race November 22 Auburn Will Have Advanced Pilot Training Ten Students with CAA Training Are Eligible For New Instruction It was announced eysterday by Lt. B. M. Cornell that ten students would now be accepted in the secondary course of the Civil Pilot Training course. This secondary course will begin this fall not later than October 16 and will end not later than January 15. The new restricted commercial training course will be divided into two parts. The first part will be a 126 hour ground course provided for by the college and the flight instructor contractor. A 40 to 50 hour flight course will be the second part of the course. This advanced course will be to instruct the students in flight that primarily will be to familiarize the students with a heavier plane and acrobatics with that plane. A Waco bi-plane with an open cockpit will be used by the ten advanced students. It will be a 220 horsepower plane similar to that used by the Tuskegee Institute students at the Auburn airport. Frasier Fortner, CAA instructor, is now in Chattanooga getting the secondary instructor's rating so that he will be able to start at once in the new training series. Applicant* who with to take thi* advanced training must be able to pas* the following qualifications. They must be citizens of the United States and must pledge themselves to apply further training in the military service of the U.S. They must have reached their 19th and not their 26th birthday by October 1, 1940. Private pilot's certificate, obtained through the preliminary course, effective at the current date must be possessed by those who will seek advanced training. If they are still in college, they must have satisfactorily completed one-half of the necessary credits leading to a degree in an institution whose credits are accepted by the U.S. Army or Navy. Those no longer enrolled in college must have satisfactorily completed one-half of the necessary credits leading to a degree in an institution whose credits are accepted by the U.S. Army and Navy as evidenced by a transcript signed by the registrar for the institution where the necessary credits were completed. Also, they must be recommended for the Restricted Commercial Training by the Director of the Civil Pilot Training and by the Flight Instructor Contractor under whom they took preliminary training. They must pass a commercial Civil Pilot Training physical examination and a complete eye examination which includes refraction given by the designed Civil Aeronautics Medical examiners. The ten students accepted must never have been disqualified from participation in the Civilian Pilot Training program by the Advisory Board's action. They must be recommended for the Restricted Commercial Course by the coordinator (formally director) of the Civil Pilot Training and the flight instructor con- Training and the flight instructor under whom they received private or preliminary training.

The dance is being sponsored by the Knights and an admission price of fifty cents will be charged. During the course of the evening there will be three no-breaks and possibly a surprise no-break. Mary Marshall Named New WSCA Secretary Mary Beth Marshall, junior in home economics from Ozark, was elected Tuesday to the position of secretary of the Women's Student Government Association. Her only opponent was Ann Pafford. The election was held to fill the vacancy left by Dora Brice's failure to return to school and not Mildred Brown Davis as stated in Tuesday's Plainsman. Miss Davis is treasurer of the WSGA. The Plainsman is glad to make this correction. The exact number of votes cast in Tuesday's election was not disclosed, but it was announced that the voting was lighter than in usual elections.

Winner of Event to Receive Large Cake Race Will Be Held Over 2.7 Mile Course; Record Set by Ball in Last Year's Race The annual ODK Cake Race, one of the most famous of Auburn traditions, will be held on Friday, November 22, at 3 p.m., according to an announcement made this week by John McCabe, president of ODK. Freshmen are advised to begin training as soon as possible. Every freshman who is registered in ROTC will be required to enter the race. Winner of the race will receive, among other prizes, a huge cake, and a 1944 numeral Opelika Football R. B. Mardre, Superintendent of the Opelika High School, announced this morning that the students of API could attend the Opelika football games for the regular student admission price of 25 cents if the students will bring their student athletic book. sweater. Next twenty-four freshmen to cross the finish line will each receive smaller cakes. The fraternity having the lowest four-man total, that is, the first four men to finish, will receive a loving cup. Record time for the race was set last year by John C. Ball, an ATO. Ball's time was 14:05.6. This bettered the record set by Herbert Drake in 1937 by some fifty seconds. Fraternity cup went to Alpha Tau Omega last year. Letters have been written to several of the nation's leading picture magazines, including "Life", "Look" and "Pic", inviting these publications to send representatives from their staff to cover the race. Paramount News cameramen have also been invited for the event. The usual 2.7 mile course will be followed again this year. Starting at the Freshman football field, the participants will run to Thach Avenue and down to College Street. Turning North on College they will continue to the corner of Glenn. Down East Glenn for three blocks, they turn South until they hit Magnolia, West down Magnolia to Gay, and then South to Samford. Running West on Samford for one block, they turn up College again down to Ag Bottom. Turning West across the bottom, the final lap will be along the dirt road between the quadrangle and Bullard Field. The event will end as the boys file through the entrance to the Varsity football field. Here they will be numbered in the order in which they finish. The Cake Race was first run in 1930. It was instituted by Dr. Charles S. Davis, then president of. ODK and now on the history staff of the college. Bridge Party Sphinx will give a benefit bridge party at the Gymnasium Tuesday night at 7 o'clock. Purpose of the party is to raise funds for a club house for women students. WJHO to Present API-Tulane Game Thirty-three Auburn Tigers entrained last night for New Orleans where they will meet the Tu-lane Green Wave at the Sugar Bowl Stadium. This will be the Tigers first game of the year in the Southeastern Conference series. Officials of W.J.H.O., local broadcasting station, announced last night that they will broadcast the Auburn-Tulane tussle tomorrow afternoon. The time for this broadcast will be announced over the air this morning. For the pre-game story on tomorrow's classic, turn to page four and read JFohn Pierce's forecast. Freshmen Politics Freshmen are respectfully warned against putting up signs advertising their candidacy for office in the coming elections. This type of publicity is strictly against election rules. New Enrollment Record Reached Registration for First Semester Almost 3,800 Latest figures on this year's registration show that a total of 3786 students have enrolled for the first semester. This is the largest number of students ever to enroll at Auburn and is an increase of 414 over last year's figures of 3372. The total number of women students has not been ascertained yet but Dr. Rosa Lee Walston, director of the women students, states that the number will probably be between 700 and 800. Co-op student registration figures show that the present number is 173. There will be approximately 350 by the end of December including those out on jobs at the present. With the Co-op registration on the increase, and taking into consideration the enrollment for next semester, officials a r e confident that the anticipated 4,200 will be reached by the end of the year. Chemical Society to Meet Monday Night There will be a meeting of the Auburn student chapter of AIChE Monday night, October 7, in Ross 203 at 7:30 p.m. An interesting program is assured by the entertainment committee, and the fact that Dr. Allison is to be the speaker is a positive guarantee that the meeting will be well worth attending. His subject has not been announced but it should prove interesting to all chemical engineers. A membership drive is now on and all freshmen and sophomores are urged to attend this meeting Monday night. Phi Lambda Upsilon Taps 6 New Members Three Seniors, Three Juniors in Croup Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chemical society, held its annual smoker and fall tapping last Tuesday evening on the terrace of the Ross Chemical Laboratory. Three seniors and three juniors were tapped at the meeting. ' Those students tapped for membership in the society were Patrick Henry Perry of Hurtsboro who is a member of the Sigma Nu social fraternity and a senior in chemical engineering; Conyers Relfe of Mt. Meigs who is an SAE and a senior in chemistry; Maurice D. Sellers, who is a senior in chemical engineering and is from Montgomery. The juniors were Ronald D. Young of Florence; Malcolm Bethea of Birmingham and a Theta Chi pledge; and James L. Rouse who is an SAE from Montgomery. The program was conducted by President James Edwards and included talks given by Dr. Roger Allen and Leroy Thompson. A chemical handbook was awarded to John Bruce Martin as the outstanding sophomore in chemistry and chemical engineering. Further entertainment was provided by movies and refreshments.

College Publishers Representative 4 2 0 MADISON AVE. NEW YORK. N. Y. CHICAGO * BOSTON • Los ANGELES • SAH FRANCISCO Certain Auburn Merchants May Soon Be 'Holding the Bag' At a recent meeting of the Interfra-ternity Financial Officers the subject of advertising in the Plainsman by merchants in and around Auburn was discussed, both pro and con. Some very heated arguments took place at this meeting, arguments which we had best not print. But those financial officers of Auburn's 20 fraternities struck a responsive chord. There are several merchants in Auburn who purchase large amounts of advertising space in the Plainsman throughout the year. These merchants realize the fact that their business depends upon the students who make their homes here for nine and sometimes twelve months a year. As one financial officer expressed it, "If it were not for the students who make their home at Auburn, businesses would be as scarce as they are in deserted gold mining towns in the West." And there's some truth in those words. While there are several merchants who realize that advertising in t h e Plainsman is worthwhile because the Plainsman is a student institution, there are also many merchants who practically kick a business staff member of this paper out of his place of business. Although they are making money at the expense of the students, many merchants in Auburn are not willing to do anything for the students in return. It looks like injustice to us. The financial officers of the various groups have resolved to do their trading in other places if these merchants are not willing to show some reciprocation for the business the students give them. And assuredly the financial officers of Auburn's 20 fraternities would be right in taking such steps. 'And You Shall Know the Truth* I am the voice of the city, the bringer of tidings, the companion of your fireside hours. I am your friend away from home. I am the prophet of tomorrow, your link with the world beyond your doorstep. I am today's link with history. ONLY A FREE PRESS CAN PREVENT Plains Talk-ty Herbert Martin THE PEOPLES SERVANTS FROM BECOMING-THE PEOPLE'S MASTERS But most of all, I am the Conscience of America. And I must be heard. I fired the spirit of another America when I told of lands beyond the frontier. I set ten thousand covered wagons on their sunset Odyssey. I tore the veil from men's eyes and bade them see that their country could not exist half slave and half free. ""*; I have never become "an instrument of government policy." I have never—as in Russia—been used to blackout the truth. No hidden power has used me, as in Germany, to stifle the kindlier instincts of a whole people, rouse barbaric passions and set feet tramping the long red road. No secret voices made me keep silent, as in France, while a trusting nation died. I am not infallible. I have your weaknesses for I am of you and by you, but I also have your steadfast strength. Sometimes I have slumbered, complacent, and then wrongs were done. But I have always awakened. I am the conscience of America—YOUR conscience and I will be heard. I bid you have faith in America. I tell you Democracy is NOT on trial. It is NOT outmoded, worn out, finished. It is still the newest thing on earth; too new even to be fully understood. All else is a throw-back to medievalism, cynicism, despondency and despair. I bid you read the Declaration of Independence. I tell you to read the Constitution of The United States and Lincoln's words at Gettysburg. I tell you the Republic is NOT on trial. It is rather we who are on trial. It is our faith, our courage that is being put to the test and will be put to the test in the years to come. Perhaps, caught in the mesh of social and economic change, we shall give ear to the honeyed voices of the demagogues. Perhaps, softened by ease, corrupted by ease, corrupted by paternalism, we shall forget truth, tolerance, kindliness, initiative. Maybe we shall forget that while the burden of responsibility always rests heavy on the shoulders of them willing to bear it, that very willingness makes those shoulders stronger. Perhaps we shall decide that Democracy is not for us, that we are not ready for it. I don't think so. For I am America's Conscience and I have faith in America's destiny. I know that as long as I am free to speak, America will listen. I must not be silenced, for when you silence me you silence your own heart. I must not be enslaved, for when you enslave me you are alone, cut off from reality, abandoned by truth, at the bottom of a black pit of horror and fantasy. Gag me and your children will never know the America you have known. Keep me free and you will be free. I look insignificant enough on your doorstep, yet I am your link of understanding with a changing wrold. I am a passing, ephemeral thing, born and dying every day. Yet I am one of the foundations of the Republic. I am the Conscience of America. I am beholden to no one. I tell you the truth. And you trust me. I am the free press of America. I am your newspaper. Plainsman Observing National Newspaper Week in This Issue This week is National Newspaper Week and also Newspaper Appreciation Week in Alabama. The Plainsman is observing this week set aside for newspapers through its editorial columns and its feature columns on other pages of this issue. We urge you to read the editorial to the left of this column and the story on page 3 concerning the actual "story behind the scenes" in publishing your Plainsman. We have word from President Roosevelt saying, "I hope that due emphasis will be placed on the necessity for maintaining freedom of the press in a democracy. The very fundamentals of democracy would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged." Governor Frank Dixon says, "The newspapers of this State and Nation typify the freedom of press and speech, which with religious liberty, constitute the most sacred rights of the free people of the United States."

These representatives paced the floor and bit fingernails in a manner much too realistic for mere social dates drawing. * * * About the tea and morning dance uprising . . . It seems rather obvious to us, and we hope we are right, that the sole reason for the ban on morning and tea dances is the fact that the feeding of nearly 200 boys in Graves Center (figures courtesy statistical board of Martin Forecasting System) makes it rather difficult to hold dances there from eleven to one or from four to six. If this is correct, we believe that a temporary remedy could be effected by holding these dances in Student Center or in the gymnasium. Of course, this would not be a permanent solution, but at present daytime dances are somewhat smaller than others, and these places could accommodate the crowds. * * * Possibly by next year more favorable arrangements can be made for the nourishment of these boys, as it is true that Graves Center is the only building on the campus suitable for holding all dances. Even discounting daytime dances, the conflict between the regular boarders and socially inclined organizations works a hardship on both parties. Perhaps, for the three major dance sets of the year, other arrangements can be made for the feeding of these boys for one day, as it would be rather hard to persuade a really top-notch band from out of town to keep on the move all of the week-end from Graves Center to Student Center and back. Nation's Students Both Condemn And Praise Collegiate Football Echoing anew at scores of colleges as the 1940 football season gets under way is the white-hot pro and con argument about football: Is the University of Chica-. go on the right track in sharply de-emphasizing the sport, or should football as a big business be given even further impetus? Scores of college editors have spoken out on the subject last term and this. Many are convinced Chicago's Pres. Robert M. Hut-chins has courageously struck out against a national evil. Many, but not all. At the University of Illinois, the Daily Illini expressed opinion that "When President Hutchins told the world that subsidization of athletes was a prerequisite to gridiron glory, he crawled -far out on a limb. The Illinois boys still win football games in the toughest league in the nation, and they seem to do it without the aid of the subsidies which President Hut-chins implied they received." The Purdue Exponent, while "admitting some faults and commercialization in football," declared it has "no desire that Purdue should ever 'follow' Chicago. Football contributes a certain 'something' to college life which we would .not want thrown into discard." Likewise, it is the opinion of the Washington and Jefferson Red and Black, that "collegiate football is of definite benefit to colleges, to students, and to numerous other interests alike. If, as Dr. Hutchins alleges, football is a major handicap to education, the Red and Black feels that the American system of higher learning needs more such handicaps." Contrasted with these opinions are those of several college publications that believe steps must be taken to curb commercialization. Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Tech declares "the situation is so flagrantly non-amateur intercollegiate football and declare it frankly as the professional occupation it is." The Richmond Collegian poses for its readers the question, "Can we take the spotlight from football and put it on scholarship, where it belongs? Chicago had the courage." The Rice Thresher agrees that "in subsidization we are defeating the whole purpose for the existence of football on our campus, a game of recreation for the students." The Michigan Daily feels "it is just as well that Chicago saw fit to retire." And at Chicago, the Daily Maroon itself expresses satisfaction with the Hutchins arrangement, saying, "Its educational function is the essential reason for a university's existence. It is true that not having football any more will make autumn duller for a few people. But even those few were not able to become very enthusiastic about the games."—(ACP) On Intelligence So-called "intellectuals" who know all the answers oftentimes are "unintelligent," a University of Iowa psychology professor told the American Psychological Association here. "When carried to extremes, mental stunts such as cross-word puzzles and question-and-answer superficiality have the effect of making a waste-basket of the human mind," said Dr. George D. Stoddard. "Sheer accumulation of information is the antithesis of intelligent activity." Dr. Stoddard charged that present intelligence tests overlook "originality," and "measure only items which have been overlearn-ed and do not show what new solutions or original patterns a child or an adult can produce. "Therefore, an I.Q. of 140 or even more can no longer be considered an evidence of genius."— (ACP) Tulane, after the pasting dished out by the Bostonians last , week, should be hot as a burning stump tomorrow. With nothing to lose and plenty to gain, they can afford to open up and take some chances which could be pretty dangerous to us. And there's the chance that we may be a bit over-confident after last week's results. All of this adds up to bad news for the home team. Based upon this exhaustive study, we predict . . . Auburn 53, Tulane 6. * * * Where is this year's "Seven"?? * * * It's hard to predict the weather this far ahead, even with the aid' of a crystal ball, a pair of suspenders, a deuce of clubs, a broken shoestring, and Dr. Zieglehoff's Almanac and Fishing Calendar, but at the date of this writing (midnight, Monday, September 30, 1940, A.D.) we're preparing the premises for six feet and four inches of snow by next Sunday. We blame the unusual weather, the foreign situation, and the social mix-up on sun spots. * * * We've discontinued the proposed series on how to evade the eleven o'clock curfew, having become convinced that the project is hopeless. * * * Deming promises a "wonderful" band for the Openings. This corner is placing its wager on the nose of Freddie Fisher and the Snicklefritzers, with other choices being the Hoozier Hot-shots to place, and Jack Guilroy's Stump Stompers to show. * * * Karrie, the Kampus Kuddling Kween, is quite perturbed about the absence of the "Miss" elections so characteristic of Auburn. Last year these elections were so numerous that the only girl who wasn't elected to one of these honor posts dubbed herself "Miss Celaneous" and took her place with the others. These elections make the girls feel good, and hurt no one, so Karrie (the Miss Celaneous of last year), would like to see the practice revived. Campus Leaders . . . Jim King The best politician that ever graced the Auburn campus is Jim King. It is our belief that he knows more students on the campus than any other one student. And because of his "knowing peo- s pie" he has established such an outstanding campus political record. Jim started into "big politics" early when he won the sophomtfre position as secretary of the Exe-cutive Cabinet. He was unopposed for the junior position of vice-president of the Cabinet and this past year he was swept into the office of President of the Cabinet by a landslide vote. But Jim is not just a politician. He has many good ideas and plans concerning student government. At the annual Student Representative Convention in New Orleans last spring, he distinguished himself as a progressive student leader in the group discussions on student government. Jim is a member of ODK and Spades, senior honor societies, and is enrolled in industrial engineering. He is often taking a trip over to Columbus to visit "a certain young lady who we understand is very beautiful, and that Jim is very fond of said young lady. Luck to you Jim, both in student government and in your "other activity."

October 4, 1940 T H E P L A I N S M AN Page Three Student Engineering Council Enters Second Year At Auburn Powell, Blondell Star in Comedy At Tiger Sunday Stars Are Married in Real Life as Well as In Motion Picture Although Joan Blondell and Dick Powell have been cast together many times in pictures, there is scarcely doubt that they have ever had a chance to cavort the way they do in "I want a Divorce," the new comedy-drama which Paramount will present on Sunday and Monday at the Tiger Theatre. This assignment together finds them cast as man and wife — they're man and wife off the screen, too, as just about everybody knows. And as a young couple who are faced with the usual problems such as finding enough money to get along, Joan and Dick have an unprecedented opportunity to utilize their abilities along comic and dramatic lines, too, for that matter. With a supporting cast numbering such capable performers as Gloria Dickson, Frank Fay, Jessie Ralph and Conrad Nagel, Joan and Dick launch the story in a divorce court, where Joan's sister— Gloria Dickson—is getting a divorce. Joan helps things along with her testimony, and tells Dick how she hates to do it, convinced as she is that divorce breeds un-happiness. In a natural course of events, Joan and Dick are thrown together again, and as man and maid will, they marry. Then comes fun — the disputes faced by every couple, sister-in-law arriving to chase hubby out of the other twin bed, and lots of things along those lines. It's a safe venture to say that the didoes will seem familiar to lots of married couples. The climactic events of the story revolve around the fact that Joan wants Dick to struggle along on Leroy Thompson Will Head Organization; Plan to Publish Engineering Magazine By FRED HENNING The Auburn Student Engineers' Council is active already this semester and has mapped out a program worthy of the efforts of any scholastic group. Its member organizations are showing an enthusiasm which would mean success for any organization. So that those who are not yet familiar with the council and with its aims and policies might become familiar with them it would be well at this point to give a brief history of the Council and also to mention a few of its plans. 5c AND THEY ARE GOOD! Kurtecy Sandwich Shop 'Pleasing you is our pleasure' Phone 9119 Prompt Delivery Organized Last Year The Auburn Student Engineers' Council, commonly referred to by the four initial letters ASEC was organized here on the Alabama Polytechnic Institute campus in September 1939. Founded by student initiative it has as its "pri-mary aim the coordination of all activities concerned with the engineering department of this institution. Its functions range from the sponsoring of social activities for engineering students to the publishing of a technical magazine. Other activities of equal importance are its sponsoring of the Annual Engineers' Day, its conducting the bi-monthly engineering seminars, its fostering a closer relationship between the engineering students in different branches of engineering and its bringing about a greater co-operation between students and faculty. 13 Groups Are Members The Auburn Student Engineers' Council is truly a democratic body. It is made up of two representatives from each of the engineering organizations, both honorary and professional, here on the campus. At present these organizations number 13, giving a total of 26 members to the governing body. Those professional organizations now represented are the student branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society of Agricultural Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Auburn Society of Industrial Engineers and the Mitec Engineers, co-operative student their small income, staying away from divorce cases, while Dick is tempted by the big money to be made handling the cases. • We buy men's second-hand Clothing and Shoes.

Those honor societies who now have representatives on the council are The Briaerian, Chi Epsi-lon, Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Lambda Upsilon, Phi Psi, and Tau Beta Pi. Engineers' Day On April 3 of this year the Council sponsored its first Engineers' Day. This exhibition was hailed as a success by industrialists and educators throughout the state. The throngs of students and visitors who attended this engineering display convinced all concerned with the sponsoring of it that Engineers' Day should thereafter be given a date on the calendar of campus activities. The Engineers' Ball which highlighted the display of April 3 also met with the generous approval of students and visitors. The monthly seminars held last year by the Council featured addresses by a number of prominent engineers from all sections of the country. These and many other similar activities so successfully conducted last year went to make the 1939- 40 session a huge success for the council. Magazine to Be Published In addition to repeating these major activities in a bigger and better way this year it is also the plan of the council to revive the publication of The Auburn Engineer, a technical magazine published some years ago here at API but since discontinued. Until such time as a sufficiently large enough hall to accommodate all engineering students will be made available, the council has arranged to hold seminars for the students in two groups in Langdon Hall. The first of these groups which met last Monday is the Junior Seminar and is made up of the Freshman and Sophomore classes. They are scheduled to meet again on Monday, November 4. The Senior Seminar, composed of the Junior and Senior classes, is slated to meet on Monday, October 14. In behalf of its member organizations the ASEC urges each engineering student who does not already belong to his respective professional engineering society to join as soon as possible.

Old Alumni Gymnasium has seldom been flattered by housing such exquisite specimen of femininity as made their appearance there Saturday evening.

They are all to be heartily congratulated. * * * This column probably is not the proper place for such an article, but the writer thinks there should be some move started to erect that long-dreamed-of gate at the intersection of College and Thach streets. That barren corner is nothing more than an ugly scar that could easily be removed. Just because every other senior class has failed is no reason why we can't do something about it. The student contingence deposit is probably the only way to finance another gate to the main campus, but if we all put our shoulders to the wheel, we can do it. * * * And in passing, we might add that some walks connecting the buildings on Ag Hill would come in rather handy on rainy days. * * * And another thing. . . .

Yea, though I enter his office, I will fear the worst: for his quiz and his grade-book they fail me. He preparest a quiz before me in the presence of mine fellow victims: he decorates my paper with red marks; my grades runneth low.

We were informed that the "A" meant Auburn, the "C" meant Club, but we could not find out what the "D" meant. However, our star sleuths report that the "D" stands for Disappointed. And so we shall call the new group, "The Auburn Disappointed Club." Full-fledged members of the new club are Mary Emma Hicks, who will serve as president; Carolyn Henderson; vice-president; Eva McCurdy, secretary; Dora Robinson, treasurer; and Martha Hicks, social chairman. Pledges include- Nell Lazenby and Helen Martin. Three more pledges are to be selected soon. The members wear gold safety pins, such as little babies wear, and the pledges wear silver safety pins. Pledges remain as such for only a week after which they become members. The organization is supported by the dating of the members. Each time a member has a date she must pay five cents to the treasurer. Each time a member leaves town they must pay five cents to the treasurer. When the treasurer has accumulated a total of 75 cents, the club "throws a big party". The group will make one big trip a year. This year they will attend the Villanova Game in Birmingham. Only juniors and seniors can belong to the organization because freshmen and sophomores cannot have enough dates to support the organization. That sounds plausible, doesn't it. And here's the best part of all, when any of the members of the club have dates, "Anything goes." Which, it seems, speaks for itself. All in all, the whole idea and the group seems like something any silly bunch of high school girls would form. But "gals will be gals," yes they will.

Plans called for a mammoth celebration which included performances by the Auburn and University bands, which were to share equal honors. Transportation for the Auburn Band was taken care of by two busses of ancient vintage, including Number 304, which has been a nemesis to the band before. These two busses had a total capacity of about 50 persons, so only 70 musicians made the trip. Unfortunately, but not altogether unexpectedly, the band was a bit late in arriving, and were placed an estimated kilometer in the rear of the front of the Governor's Parade, which was proudly led by the University of Alabama 90-piece band, unhampered by transportation limitations, and decked out in beautiful pastel shades of red and white. A plume reposed blissfully above each cap. The Auburn jive crew, content with presenting a military appearance, were resplendent (and hot) in the orange satin capes. The band stood more or less at attention during the speaking, but could have squatted by bunches just as easy, for all the notice it got from the crowd. Later there was a flag ceremony. Plans called for a short parade, followed by the Star Spangled Banner played in unison by both bands. The Auburn band was instructed where to assemble to begin the parade, but the informant neglected to designate the ' destination. After standing in one spot for some time, the band was asked to move up a little nearer the front, please. There was no place left at the front, so the Auburn Band took a post a short distance to the rear of the Alabama Greatest Show on Earth Pink Lemonade and They're Glad To Eaf This!

Later, the Auburn band was accorded »the dubious honor of leading a parade. This honor also included the distinction of being the only band in the parade. Other paraders were cows . . . yes, cows. Big black ones; little white-faced ones; ferocious looking ones; friendly, sad-eyed bovines; healthy horns on the hoof; sickly, disgusted-looking animals . . . in short, cattle. That's about the end of the trip, except for one minor incident. Old Faithful 304 burned out a bearing, or got a tummy-ache, or felt indisposed. Anyway, she ceased to function. At length, giving up the task of repairing this bus which should have been pensioned years ago, bus officials procured another, and got the second load of bandsmen home safely at five o'clock, a.m. So ended a perfect day! Ag Club Weekly Meet Held Last Wednesday Claude Carter, secretary, charge of the meeting. Plainsmen Will Meet Greenies on Rebound Game to Be Played in New Orleans' Sugar Bowl; First Real Test for Auburn Squad By JOHN PIERCE All preliminaries a thing of the past, Auburn's footballers last night left here to move forward into the thick of the nation's most heated gridiron battles, journeying to New Orleans where they meet the tidal Green Wave of Tulane in the Sugar Bowl tomorrow afternoon. Tulane, knocked sprawling last Saturday by the high flying Boston College Eagles, is coming back with a roar, and Auburn, true to form, waits in the number one revenge spot to catch the Wave on a hard The Ag Club held its regular meeting last Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in Ross Chemical Auditorium. In the absence of the have completely patched president and the vice-president, leaky pass defense and will suf-bourrce. A stock of players such as those gathered in the Greenie camp couldn't stay down if dead. Auburn Has Hopes Yet, rooters from the Plains see light as well as gloom in the nearness of the contest. It is certain that Red Dawson will field a much improved team tomorrow but takes an elastic imagination to conceive a Tulane eleven with its shattered forces drawn together sufficiently—all in less than a week's time — to exhibit top flight ball. Evidence that Boston won with comparative ease comes not only in the lopsided 27-7 score but also in the fact that the Northerners used three full teams. However, another logical argument looms too resoundingly to be ignored. Up until last Saturday it was the universal opinion of authorities the nation over that if there was anything wrong with the Green Wave squad it was the way they laced their shoes before supper, or some such equivalent. This same squad will face Auburn. Real Game in Prospect The fact remains — a powder key waits behind the Sugar Bowl's massive tiers. Tulane will hardly up a average 199% pounds and outweigh Auburn's best by approximately 14 pounds per man. Co-captains O'Boyle and Groves, guards and bulwarks of the gi-gnatic front line, have suffered minor injuries but are due to see at least part time duty. Aside from these the Green Wave appears in top condition. Uncovered in the Boston melee was the brilliant all around backfield play of James Ely who sparked and engineered his mates in the last second scoring drive. Plenty of Reserves Bob Glass and Fred Gloden also will figure prominently in ball carrying duties. Line standout of last week was Charles Dufour, a 206-pounder who works from right tackle and will aid Groves and O'Boyle in steadying the 204 pound line. The Green Wave of '$9 had everything but passers and receivers; somewhere they've dug deep and found these. With every position three and four men took fer from unpolished line play for some weeks to come. But after Short talks were given by R.

Glass Gloden Tittle Ely Auburn-Tulane Scores Given S a t u r d a y ' s Game Will Be T w e n t y - F i r s t of Series Tomorrow's contest between Auburn and Tulane marks the twenty-first meeting in a series dating to 1902. In that year the two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock and the affair was given up as a hopeless case until 1921 when the Tigers started things off with a 14-0 win. Since then the games have come annually with Tulane taking eight victories, Auburn six, and five have ended in deadlocks. The Green Wave from New Orleans scored their most decisive victory in 1929 when they slammed a 52-0 score against the scoreboard, while Auburn's greatest margin has been a 19-0 victory, that in 1922. Tulane's total points add up to 191 as against 107 for the Plainsmen. Interesting is the story told by scores of the games since 1934. In five games only 22 points have been scored, 10 by Auburn and 12 by Tulane. 1935 saw the Tigers emerge with a 10-0 victory and in the meetings of 1936, 1937, and 1938 neither team was able to score. The Tulane powerhouse of '39 finally broke things up, scoring two touchdowns to win 12-0. If Auburn scores tomorrow it will mark the first counter against the team from the Delta in five years. Altogether API has gone scoreless in 10 of the 20 games while the Greenies have struck out eight times. 'Trigger' McGehee, Glomerata Editor, Is Ducked in Lake by Plainsman Staff All the Little Fish in Lake Die After Ducking By JACK BIRDSONG Loaded to the gills with Plainsman staffs and Glomerata heads and their respected dates, the po' lil' 'ol trucky took off for Lake Auburn leaving a trial of hay for the stragglers to follow. Included in the gill-loaded truck contained such luminaries as Trig "I write the Glomerata" McGee, Daniel "We Want Tea Dances" Hollis, Kirk "10%—No less" Newell, and Herbert "I play in the Band" Martin without the usual Karrie. 'Business members were under the guiding wing of Mother Wilson of the Advertising Staff, chaperoned, mind you, chaperoned by Warren "Dean's List" Darty. The receipt books formed a seat for the diligent and hard working money-grabbers, and they were festooned with unpaid hills that accumulated around the office. Upon reaching the Lake, the members immediately unwrapped themselves from their dates, and hied for the bushes. Hours later, the bugle was sounded, and supper began. The gorgeous meal consisted of stale hamburger buns fried in grease to a luscious golden brown. Drinks consisted of drippings from beer bottles as collected from Blackie's and Roy's. The Glomerata boys ate the food with relish (I don't know where they got it) and everything went swell until Trigger emitted a slight burp. Taking this as a grave insult to the caliber of food served, the Plainsman boys immediately pitdhed the Glomerata head in the lake (I don't know what they did with the Glomerata body). While Trig was floating around like a duck and making gurgling sounds, the low, plaintive sound of dying fishes filled the air. Soon perch, trout, and catfish were floating on the top and breathing their dying breath. After Trigger had gone down for the third time, he was speared with a rusty fish hook and dragged to the shore. First aid methods were tried, such as throwing water on head, rubbing palms gently with ice, and the old reliable tourniquet around the neck. All means were in vain-J-he recovered and came around with loud shouts of graft and sabotage. Conclusion: Pishes are dead. Trigger lives. Plainsman honor upheld. Wilson still in debt. deep Auburn will find Tulane the biggest single order since Tennessee's Rose Bowl Vols. Spirit runs high in the Tiger camp. Elated by the display of Power against Howard, all have pitched in and worked confidently for the encounter in line positions. Faulk and Costellos are once more in uniform, injuries are confined to but two or three twisted knees, and the general attitude from the stadium is a positive "This is our year."

Sizzling Steaks & Sea Foods Are Our Specially • Auburn Grille AIR-CONDITIONED Makes Comparison of Big Steel Mill With Campus and Buildings of Auburn By C. J. BASTIEN Early one morning, four weeks ago, I reported to the employment office of the largest steel plant in Alabama, worked through the line of job hunters and presented myself to the employment officer as a Co-op student returning to work. He made out some papers, finger-printed me, and sent me to the hospital for the physical examination which we must take each time we return to work. That took a couple of hours and then I reported to the department in which I had previously worked to find out when I was to come to work; the department is the maintenance department for the entire steel works and my job on my last work period had been draftsman, designer, timekeeper, and all-around helper and handyman for the foreman of the shop. Wide Variety of Jobs I had worked in this shop for two years and there was very little that I had not done: laborer, machinist's helper, operated some of the machinery, tool room keeper, learned to operate the crane, cared for the blueprint files and made many changes in the method and system of filing, wrote work orders, hauling orders, material requisitions and in fact I had written all of the papers used in the running of the shop. The idea seemed to be to put me through the entire working of the shop and give me a view of the work from every angle. And then too, all of my work hadn't been in the shop; much of it had been out in the mills, of which there are a great many in this works.

There is so much of it that it dwarfs the imagination and makes one humble and careful, exceedingly careful: there is one crane that would lift the equivalent of two hundred Fords, a forging hammer that has the striking power of a thousand tons at a single blow, burning torches that slice through foot thick steel blocks, shears that cut four inch slabs, rolling mills that take red hot steel blocks three feet square and ten feet long and roll them out until the finished product is as thin as the metal in a tin can, and would probably be a mile or more long if it had not been cut in the process. A steel slab feeds in the end of a string of rolling mills at a speed comparable to that of a strolling turtle, a very aged turtle, and the other end of the same piece at the same time is traveling faster than Spec Kelly at the end of a "hundred." . . . And then there is the time, about a year ago, when the boss asked me if I would like to take a walk: I had been drawing for about a week and this seemed like manna from heaven.

Senior Coeds May Win Cash Prizes In Vogue Contest Plainsman Office Has Entry Blanks and More Information on Rules The Sixth Prix de Paris, Vogue's annual career contest for college seniors, was announced today by Edna Wollman Chase, editor of Vogue magazine. "Our purpose in sponsoring the Prix de Paris contest," said Mrs. Chase, "is to discover college girls who have the ability to write and a flair for fashion. To us the contest is a means of adding new talent to our editorial staff. To contestants it offers a training in fashion reporting and feature writing which they will find immensely valuable, whether it leads to a prize or not." This year, Vogue's Prix de Paris contest offers seven major awards. First prize is a year's position on Vogue's fashion staff. Formerly, this prize included six months in Vogue's Paris office, but now, due to world conditions, the winner will spend the full period of her award in Vogue's New York office. Second prize — a special Vanity Fair award—is six months as a feature writer on Vogue's staff. In addition, five cash prizes will be awarded for the best writer on Vogue's staff. In addition, five cash prizes will be awarded for the best contest theses. Opportunity for Jobs Besides the seven major prizes, "Honourable Mentions" will be awarded to contestants whose papers show unusual merit. These awards carry with them the possibility of jobs in a wide variety of fields. Honourable Mention winners will be interviewed for jobs by stores, advertising agencies, and publications. Of the 60 leading entrants in the five previous contests, 40 are today following careers in a variety of fields. Students who are interested in participating in this contest should ask for further information at the Plainsman office. Complete rules and entry blanks can be secured for those desiring to enter the contest. Behold, We Also Find Twin Boys And These Two Lads Hail from Alabama By DAVID ALLEN It seems that the campus at Auburn is literally teeming with twins. Another interesting set on the male side was found by a wandering reporter of the Plainsman. They are the Hereford twins, Clark and Bledsoe, from Gurley, Alabama. They are both majoring in Agricultural Science. The 11th and 12th children in the family to finish from the same high school, they are following in the footsteps of a brother at Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Both boys played football their last year in high school, Clark holding down guard like an All- State, and Bledsoe doing an equally fine job at the end position. The boys are almost identical twins. They are the same height, weigh the same, wear the same clothes, and both had four of their wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. It seems that Bledsoe has a slightly larger head, but that may be accounted for by his ballplaying. They have no small amount of trouble with the laundry, because they don't try to keep their clothes separate, because it makes no difference to them. They are both extra fond of vanilla ice cream and good sweet milk. Their favorite sport .is football, and both said that they were well satisfied with the game last Friday night. Delighted with their pick of schools, they are fond of its friendly spirit, but dislike its English. The only trouble is that boys who know Clark sometimes speak to Bledsoe, and, as he doesn't know them, he (foesn't seem to be very friendly. Just a case of mistaken identity. We are glad to have these boys with us, and hope that they get through with their English, or learn to like it better. Local boys who are members of Auburn's 1940 football squad are Abb Chrietzberg, center, and Babe McGehee, end, two senior lettermen. Both formerly starred in three sports, football, basketball and baseball, at Lee County High School at Auburn. Two API Professors Named on State Nutrition Committee for Research Spidle, Salmon Are Named on New Group Appointment of a State nutrition committee to supply technical advice on problems of nutrition and food supply "in the present emergency" has been announced by Mrs. Marion Spidle, dean of Auburn's School of Home Economics. The committee was named, said Mrs. Spidle, at the request of Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau of Home Economics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "It is unnecessary to review with you the number of problems on which help will be needed," Dr. Stanley wrote to Mrs. Spidle. "Many of you are already working with the farm families in the growing and conservation of their own food supplies. There may be some expansion of this program but with the abundant food supplies we have, our chief emphasis now as opposed to 1917 will be on education in nutrition and working with agencies for distribution, to see that all groups get an adequate food supply." Named on the Alabama committee to Mrs. Spidle are Dr. Lois A. Ackerley, director of the School of Home Economics, Montevallo; W. D. Salmon, animal nutritionist, Auburn; Miss Mildred Simon, foods and nutrition specialist, State Extension Service, Auburn; Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, dean of women, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; Miss Amanda Tucker, nutritionist, Department of Public Health, Montgomery. Gary Grant Stars In Historic Show At Martin Sunday "Howards of Virginia" Should Be one of the Year's Best Pictures Carved out of the rugged background of a mighty nation, and considered one of the most stirring pieces of literature of the year, Elizabeth Page's "The Tree of Liberty" comes to the Martin Theatre screen on Sunday and Monday as "The Howards of Virginia." Cary Grant and Martha Scott are starred as "The Howards of Virginia," those two young Americans who fell so madly in love that they broke with all tradition; who believed in their destiny and the destiny of their country with such intensity that they willingly offered themselves and their future to share in America's struggle for freedom. Producer-director Frank Lloyd's screen version of the novel, which was a selection of both the Literary Guild and The Discoverers, is said to have been made on an elaborate and spectacular scale in keeping with the high standard of the book. According to the publishers, Miss Page spent more than five years in writing the novel. Critical comment of many world-famous literary celebrities indicate that it is one of the year's literary masterpieces, just as the film is headed for top honors. Miss Page, now living in California, is also the author of "Wagons West" and "Wild Horses and Gold." < EVERYTHING FOR THE COLLEGE MISS At K A Y S E R - L I LI E N T H A L , I n c.

What great memories are conjured by the mention of those words as the mind darts in swift flight back to 1932, the year of All-American . Jimmy Hitchcock and his mighty comrades- ~~~~ in-arms: Porter Grant at left end, Buddy McCollum at left tackle, Boots Chambless at left guard, Johnson at center, Jones at right guard, Tiny Holmes at right tackle, Gump Ariail at right end, Ripper Williams at quarterback, Sterling Dupree at fullback and Allen Rogers at the right half post. The year before a light but gallant ___ . Auburn team had been routed 21-0 by B<*tt€m*TR*0 a p o w e r f u i Tulane eleven that boasted the talent of such men as Don Zimmerman, Nollie Felts and Jerry Dalrymple. And that Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, Oct. 22, 1932, a decidedly partisan New Orleans crowd expected nothing but another devastating riptide of the Green Wave led again by the redoubtable Zimmerman. But they did not know the mettle of Captain Hitchcock's band of Plainsmen and before the sun had set on that day of battle, the news was flashing forth that gave the football world pause and made it wonder at the manner of those glorious, unheralded men who had sent mighty Tulane, unbeaten in the Southern Conference for four dominant years, down into the mire and bitterness of defeat by a 19-7 score. That was the glorious afternoon that Jimmy Hitchcock pranced his way into the Football Hall of Fame and undying Auburn tradition. He could do nothing wrong. His passing arm was unerring, punts boomed from his toe as the thunderbolts of Thor and his bewitched running carried him through the entire Tulane team for two brilliant touchdowns as he drifted through tacklers arms like a puff of storm driven orange smoke. It was his day and as the last whistle cut the stunned silence that lay over that vast stadium, the New Orleans multitude that had come to jeer the hungry Auburn Tiger, and remained to marvel at it, swarmed down onto that brown October sward, hoisted the bone weary and victory happy young Tiger leader to their shoulders and acclaimed him as one of the great. The fray tomorrow promises to approach the memorable day in thrills. The Green Wave, flat and listless against Boston College, can be expected to wash strongly up the comeback trail and capable men, three and four deep at every position, are prepared to bolster the Olive and Green claim to greatness and turn the Orange and Blue back again. Roughhouse Rufus Deal, Dynamite Dick McGow-en, Lloyd Cheatham, Bud Wendling, and Bill Year-out all looked particularly good.

The date, November 30, will remain the the same and Tiger followers will have another opportunity to see the team in action, something which the former setup made almost out of the question for most students. Florida, with three other home games scheduled, allowed the transfer on the grounds that they will meet the University of Texas at Gainesville on the following week-end and two consecutive home games would fail to draw as required, while a good turnout is guaranteed at a game played near Auburn. This will give Auburn eight games to be played within a 150 mile radius of the school, something of a record for a Plains team. Florida will follow Boston College on the schedule, where a game near home would be a boon for both players and fans. Auburn-Florida Rats .

Hudson, '34 OPELIKA While Auburn battles Tulane in New Orleans Saturday the rat eleven will tend the home fires when they clash with Florida's frosh at 2 in the Auburn Stadium. Due to the inability of a majority of students to attend the main bout a large crowd should be on hand to watch the debut of a Baby Tiger squad dotted with names of former high and prep school luminaries. The game is the first of three freshman tilts scheduled for the home field and will be followed by meetings with Georgia on Oct. 19 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 11. The rats, coached by Bobby Blake and Walter Gilbert, have been used largely thus far as sparring mates for the Tiger varsity and have spent little time in individual team practice sessions, but will field a team comparable in every respect to that of last year which won two games and tied one. No Definite Starters Yet No definite starters have been picked as yet but should come from the following: Everett Harwell and Chois Dyar, ends; Bobby Long and Bill Schuler, tackles; Merrill Giradeau and Jim Rose, guards; Jim Pharr, center; Bobby Black or Gene Barranieu, Bick Jenkins or Tommy Kennell, and I Jim Conrad, and Johnny Richardson, backs. Outstanding among the freshman footballers is Jim Bargainer, ex-Opelika High School star and All-State choice, who has showed sufficient promise during practice to make himself an almost certain starter for the Saturday game.

Letters have been written to several of the nation's leading picture magazines, including "Life", "Look" and "Pic", inviting these publications to send representatives from their staff to cover the race. Paramount News cameramen have also been invited for the event. The usual 2.7 mile course will be followed again this year. Starting at the Freshman football field, the participants will run to Thach Avenue and down to College Street. Turning North on College they will continue to the corner of Glenn. Down East Glenn for three blocks, they turn South until they hit Magnolia, West down Magnolia to Gay, and then South to Samford. Running West on Samford for one block, they turn up College again down to Ag Bottom. Turning West across the bottom, the final lap will be along the dirt road between the quadrangle and Bullard Field. The event will end as the boys file through the entrance to the Varsity football field. Here they will be numbered in the order in which they finish. The Cake Race was first run in 1930. It was instituted by Dr. Charles S. Davis, then president of. ODK and now on the history staff of the college.

College Publishers Representative 4 2 0 MADISON AVE. NEW YORK. N. Y. CHICAGO * BOSTON • Los ANGELES • SAH FRANCISCO Certain Auburn Merchants May Soon Be 'Holding the Bag' At a recent meeting of the Interfra-ternity Financial Officers the subject of advertising in the Plainsman by merchants in and around Auburn was discussed, both pro and con. Some very heated arguments took place at this meeting, arguments which we had best not print. But those financial officers of Auburn's 20 fraternities struck a responsive chord. There are several merchants in Auburn who purchase large amounts of advertising space in the Plainsman throughout the year. These merchants realize the fact that their business depends upon the students who make their homes here for nine and sometimes twelve months a year. As one financial officer expressed it, "If it were not for the students who make their home at Auburn, businesses would be as scarce as they are in deserted gold mining towns in the West." And there's some truth in those words. While there are several merchants who realize that advertising in t h e Plainsman is worthwhile because the Plainsman is a student institution, there are also many merchants who practically kick a business staff member of this paper out of his place of business. Although they are making money at the expense of the students, many merchants in Auburn are not willing to do anything for the students in return. It looks like injustice to us. The financial officers of the various groups have resolved to do their trading in other places if these merchants are not willing to show some reciprocation for the business the students give them. And assuredly the financial officers of Auburn's 20 fraternities would be right in taking such steps. 'And You Shall Know the Truth* I am the voice of the city, the bringer of tidings, the companion of your fireside hours. I am your friend away from home. I am the prophet of tomorrow, your link with the world beyond your doorstep. I am today's link with history. ONLY A FREE PRESS CAN PREVENT Plains Talk-ty Herbert Martin THE PEOPLES SERVANTS FROM BECOMING-THE PEOPLE'S MASTERS But most of all, I am the Conscience of America. And I must be heard. I fired the spirit of another America when I told of lands beyond the frontier. I set ten thousand covered wagons on their sunset Odyssey. I tore the veil from men's eyes and bade them see that their country could not exist half slave and half free. ""*; I have never become "an instrument of government policy." I have never—as in Russia—been used to blackout the truth. No hidden power has used me, as in Germany, to stifle the kindlier instincts of a whole people, rouse barbaric passions and set feet tramping the long red road. No secret voices made me keep silent, as in France, while a trusting nation died. I am not infallible. I have your weaknesses for I am of you and by you, but I also have your steadfast strength. Sometimes I have slumbered, complacent, and then wrongs were done. But I have always awakened. I am the conscience of America—YOUR conscience and I will be heard. I bid you have faith in America. I tell you Democracy is NOT on trial. It is NOT outmoded, worn out, finished. It is still the newest thing on earth; too new even to be fully understood. All else is a throw-back to medievalism, cynicism, despondency and despair. I bid you read the Declaration of Independence. I tell you to read the Constitution of The United States and Lincoln's words at Gettysburg. I tell you the Republic is NOT on trial. It is rather we who are on trial. It is our faith, our courage that is being put to the test and will be put to the test in the years to come. Perhaps, caught in the mesh of social and economic change, we shall give ear to the honeyed voices of the demagogues. Perhaps, softened by ease, corrupted by ease, corrupted by paternalism, we shall forget truth, tolerance, kindliness, initiative. Maybe we shall forget that while the burden of responsibility always rests heavy on the shoulders of them willing to bear it, that very willingness makes those shoulders stronger. Perhaps we shall decide that Democracy is not for us, that we are not ready for it. I don't think so. For I am America's Conscience and I have faith in America's destiny. I know that as long as I am free to speak, America will listen. I must not be silenced, for when you silence me you silence your own heart. I must not be enslaved, for when you enslave me you are alone, cut off from reality, abandoned by truth, at the bottom of a black pit of horror and fantasy. Gag me and your children will never know the America you have known. Keep me free and you will be free. I look insignificant enough on your doorstep, yet I am your link of understanding with a changing wrold. I am a passing, ephemeral thing, born and dying every day. Yet I am one of the foundations of the Republic. I am the Conscience of America. I am beholden to no one. I tell you the truth. And you trust me. I am the free press of America. I am your newspaper. Plainsman Observing National Newspaper Week in This Issue This week is National Newspaper Week and also Newspaper Appreciation Week in Alabama. The Plainsman is observing this week set aside for newspapers through its editorial columns and its feature columns on other pages of this issue. We urge you to read the editorial to the left of this column and the story on page 3 concerning the actual "story behind the scenes" in publishing your Plainsman. We have word from President Roosevelt saying, "I hope that due emphasis will be placed on the necessity for maintaining freedom of the press in a democracy. The very fundamentals of democracy would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged." Governor Frank Dixon says, "The newspapers of this State and Nation typify the freedom of press and speech, which with religious liberty, constitute the most sacred rights of the free people of the United States."

These representatives paced the floor and bit fingernails in a manner much too realistic for mere social dates drawing. * * * About the tea and morning dance uprising . . . It seems rather obvious to us, and we hope we are right, that the sole reason for the ban on morning and tea dances is the fact that the feeding of nearly 200 boys in Graves Center (figures courtesy statistical board of Martin Forecasting System) makes it rather difficult to hold dances there from eleven to one or from four to six. If this is correct, we believe that a temporary remedy could be effected by holding these dances in Student Center or in the gymnasium. Of course, this would not be a permanent solution, but at present daytime dances are somewhat smaller than others, and these places could accommodate the crowds. * * * Possibly by next year more favorable arrangements can be made for the nourishment of these boys, as it is true that Graves Center is the only building on the campus suitable for holding all dances. Even discounting daytime dances, the conflict between the regular boarders and socially inclined organizations works a hardship on both parties. Perhaps, for the three major dance sets of the year, other arrangements can be made for the feeding of these boys for one day, as it would be rather hard to persuade a really top-notch band from out of town to keep on the move all of the week-end from Graves Center to Student Center and back. Nation's Students Both Condemn And Praise Collegiate Football Echoing anew at scores of colleges as the 1940 football season gets under way is the white-hot pro and con argument about football: Is the University of Chica-. go on the right track in sharply de-emphasizing the sport, or should football as a big business be given even further impetus? Scores of college editors have spoken out on the subject last term and this. Many are convinced Chicago's Pres. Robert M. Hut-chins has courageously struck out against a national evil. Many, but not all. At the University of Illinois, the Daily Illini expressed opinion that "When President Hutchins told the world that subsidization of athletes was a prerequisite to gridiron glory, he crawled -far out on a limb. The Illinois boys still win football games in the toughest league in the nation, and they seem to do it without the aid of the subsidies which President Hut-chins implied they received." The Purdue Exponent, while "admitting some faults and commercialization in football," declared it has "no desire that Purdue should ever 'follow' Chicago. Football contributes a certain 'something' to college life which we would .not want thrown into discard." Likewise, it is the opinion of the Washington and Jefferson Red and Black, that "collegiate football is of definite benefit to colleges, to students, and to numerous other interests alike. If, as Dr. Hutchins alleges, football is a major handicap to education, the Red and Black feels that the American system of higher learning needs more such handicaps." Contrasted with these opinions are those of several college publications that believe steps must be taken to curb commercialization. Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Tech declares "the situation is so flagrantly non-amateur intercollegiate football and declare it frankly as the professional occupation it is." The Richmond Collegian poses for its readers the question, "Can we take the spotlight from football and put it on scholarship, where it belongs? Chicago had the courage." The Rice Thresher agrees that "in subsidization we are defeating the whole purpose for the existence of football on our campus, a game of recreation for the students." The Michigan Daily feels "it is just as well that Chicago saw fit to retire." And at Chicago, the Daily Maroon itself expresses satisfaction with the Hutchins arrangement, saying, "Its educational function is the essential reason for a university's existence. It is true that not having football any more will make autumn duller for a few people. But even those few were not able to become very enthusiastic about the games."—(ACP) On Intelligence So-called "intellectuals" who know all the answers oftentimes are "unintelligent," a University of Iowa psychology professor told the American Psychological Association here. "When carried to extremes, mental stunts such as cross-word puzzles and question-and-answer superficiality have the effect of making a waste-basket of the human mind," said Dr. George D. Stoddard. "Sheer accumulation of information is the antithesis of intelligent activity." Dr. Stoddard charged that present intelligence tests overlook "originality," and "measure only items which have been overlearn-ed and do not show what new solutions or original patterns a child or an adult can produce. "Therefore, an I.Q. of 140 or even more can no longer be considered an evidence of genius."— (ACP) Tulane, after the pasting dished out by the Bostonians last , week, should be hot as a burning stump tomorrow. With nothing to lose and plenty to gain, they can afford to open up and take some chances which could be pretty dangerous to us. And there's the chance that we may be a bit over-confident after last week's results. All of this adds up to bad news for the home team. Based upon this exhaustive study, we predict . . . Auburn 53, Tulane 6. * * * Where is this year's "Seven"?? * * * It's hard to predict the weather this far ahead, even with the aid' of a crystal ball, a pair of suspenders, a deuce of clubs, a broken shoestring, and Dr. Zieglehoff's Almanac and Fishing Calendar, but at the date of this writing (midnight, Monday, September 30, 1940, A.D.) we're preparing the premises for six feet and four inches of snow by next Sunday. We blame the unusual weather, the foreign situation, and the social mix-up on sun spots. * * * We've discontinued the proposed series on how to evade the eleven o'clock curfew, having become convinced that the project is hopeless. * * * Deming promises a "wonderful" band for the Openings. This corner is placing its wager on the nose of Freddie Fisher and the Snicklefritzers, with other choices being the Hoozier Hot-shots to place, and Jack Guilroy's Stump Stompers to show. * * * Karrie, the Kampus Kuddling Kween, is quite perturbed about the absence of the "Miss" elections so characteristic of Auburn. Last year these elections were so numerous that the only girl who wasn't elected to one of these honor posts dubbed herself "Miss Celaneous" and took her place with the others. These elections make the girls feel good, and hurt no one, so Karrie (the Miss Celaneous of last year), would like to see the practice revived. Campus Leaders . . . Jim King The best politician that ever graced the Auburn campus is Jim King. It is our belief that he knows more students on the campus than any other one student. And because of his "knowing peo- s pie" he has established such an outstanding campus political record. Jim started into "big politics" early when he won the sophomtfre position as secretary of the Exe-cutive Cabinet. He was unopposed for the junior position of vice-president of the Cabinet and this past year he was swept into the office of President of the Cabinet by a landslide vote. But Jim is not just a politician. He has many good ideas and plans concerning student government. At the annual Student Representative Convention in New Orleans last spring, he distinguished himself as a progressive student leader in the group discussions on student government. Jim is a member of ODK and Spades, senior honor societies, and is enrolled in industrial engineering. He is often taking a trip over to Columbus to visit "a certain young lady who we understand is very beautiful, and that Jim is very fond of said young lady. Luck to you Jim, both in student government and in your "other activity."

October 4, 1940 T H E P L A I N S M AN Page Three Student Engineering Council Enters Second Year At Auburn Powell, Blondell Star in Comedy At Tiger Sunday Stars Are Married in Real Life as Well as In Motion Picture Although Joan Blondell and Dick Powell have been cast together many times in pictures, there is scarcely doubt that they have ever had a chance to cavort the way they do in "I want a Divorce," the new comedy-drama which Paramount will present on Sunday and Monday at the Tiger Theatre. This assignment together finds them cast as man and wife — they're man and wife off the screen, too, as just about everybody knows. And as a young couple who are faced with the usual problems such as finding enough money to get along, Joan and Dick have an unprecedented opportunity to utilize their abilities along comic and dramatic lines, too, for that matter. With a supporting cast numbering such capable performers as Gloria Dickson, Frank Fay, Jessie Ralph and Conrad Nagel, Joan and Dick launch the story in a divorce court, where Joan's sister— Gloria Dickson—is getting a divorce. Joan helps things along with her testimony, and tells Dick how she hates to do it, convinced as she is that divorce breeds un-happiness. In a natural course of events, Joan and Dick are thrown together again, and as man and maid will, they marry. Then comes fun — the disputes faced by every couple, sister-in-law arriving to chase hubby out of the other twin bed, and lots of things along those lines. It's a safe venture to say that the didoes will seem familiar to lots of married couples. The climactic events of the story revolve around the fact that Joan wants Dick to struggle along on Leroy Thompson Will Head Organization; Plan to Publish Engineering Magazine By FRED HENNING The Auburn Student Engineers' Council is active already this semester and has mapped out a program worthy of the efforts of any scholastic group. Its member organizations are showing an enthusiasm which would mean success for any organization. So that those who are not yet familiar with the council and with its aims and policies might become familiar with them it would be well at this point to give a brief history of the Council and also to mention a few of its plans. 5c AND THEY ARE GOOD! Kurtecy Sandwich Shop 'Pleasing you is our pleasure' Phone 9119 Prompt Delivery Organized Last Year The Auburn Student Engineers' Council, commonly referred to by the four initial letters ASEC was organized here on the Alabama Polytechnic Institute campus in September 1939. Founded by student initiative it has as its "pri-mary aim the coordination of all activities concerned with the engineering department of this institution. Its functions range from the sponsoring of social activities for engineering students to the publishing of a technical magazine. Other activities of equal importance are its sponsoring of the Annual Engineers' Day, its conducting the bi-monthly engineering seminars, its fostering a closer relationship between the engineering students in different branches of engineering and its bringing about a greater co-operation between students and faculty. 13 Groups Are Members The Auburn Student Engineers' Council is truly a democratic body. It is made up of two representatives from each of the engineering organizations, both honorary and professional, here on the campus. At present these organizations number 13, giving a total of 26 members to the governing body. Those professional organizations now represented are the student branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society of Agricultural Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Auburn Society of Industrial Engineers and the Mitec Engineers, co-operative student their small income, staying away from divorce cases, while Dick is tempted by the big money to be made handling the cases. • We buy men's second-hand Clothing and Shoes.

Those honor societies who now have representatives on the council are The Briaerian, Chi Epsi-lon, Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Lambda Upsilon, Phi Psi, and Tau Beta Pi. Engineers' Day On April 3 of this year the Council sponsored its first Engineers' Day. This exhibition was hailed as a success by industrialists and educators throughout the state. The throngs of students and visitors who attended this engineering display convinced all concerned with the sponsoring of it that Engineers' Day should thereafter be given a date on the calendar of campus activities. The Engineers' Ball which highlighted the display of April 3 also met with the generous approval of students and visitors. The monthly seminars held last year by the Council featured addresses by a number of prominent engineers from all sections of the country. These and many other similar activities so successfully conducted last year went to make the 1939- 40 session a huge success for the council. Magazine to Be Published In addition to repeating these major activities in a bigger and better way this year it is also the plan of the council to revive the publication of The Auburn Engineer, a technical magazine published some years ago here at API but since discontinued. Until such time as a sufficiently large enough hall to accommodate all engineering students will be made available, the council has arranged to hold seminars for the students in two groups in Langdon Hall. The first of these groups which met last Monday is the Junior Seminar and is made up of the Freshman and Sophomore classes. They are scheduled to meet again on Monday, November 4. The Senior Seminar, composed of the Junior and Senior classes, is slated to meet on Monday, October 14. In behalf of its member organizations the ASEC urges each engineering student who does not already belong to his respective professional engineering society to join as soon as possible.

That barren corner is nothing more than an ugly scar that could easily be removed. Just because every other senior class has failed is no reason why we can't do something about it. The student contingence deposit is probably the only way to finance another gate to the main campus, but if we all put our shoulders to the wheel, we can do it. * * * And in passing, we might add that some walks connecting the buildings on Ag Hill would come in rather handy on rainy days. * * * And another thing. . . .

Full-fledged members of the new club are Mary Emma Hicks, who will serve as president; Carolyn Henderson; vice-president; Eva McCurdy, secretary; Dora Robinson, treasurer; and Martha Hicks, social chairman. Pledges include- Nell Lazenby and Helen Martin. Three more pledges are to be selected soon. The members wear gold safety pins, such as little babies wear, and the pledges wear silver safety pins. Pledges remain as such for only a week after which they become members. The organization is supported by the dating of the members. Each time a member has a date she must pay five cents to the treasurer. Each time a member leaves town they must pay five cents to the treasurer. When the treasurer has accumulated a total of 75 cents, the club "throws a big party". The group will make one big trip a year. This year they will attend the Villanova Game in Birmingham. Only juniors and seniors can belong to the organization because freshmen and sophomores cannot have enough dates to support the organization. That sounds plausible, doesn't it. And here's the best part of all, when any of the members of the club have dates, "Anything goes." Which, it seems, speaks for itself. All in all, the whole idea and the group seems like something any silly bunch of high school girls would form. But "gals will be gals," yes they will.

Plans called for a mammoth celebration which included performances by the Auburn and University bands, which were to share equal honors. Transportation for the Auburn Band was taken care of by two busses of ancient vintage, including Number 304, which has been a nemesis to the band before. These two busses had a total capacity of about 50 persons, so only 70 musicians made the trip. Unfortunately, but not altogether unexpectedly, the band was a bit late in arriving, and were placed an estimated kilometer in the rear of the front of the Governor's Parade, which was proudly led by the University of Alabama 90-piece band, unhampered by transportation limitations, and decked out in beautiful pastel shades of red and white. A plume reposed blissfully above each cap. The Auburn jive crew, content with presenting a military appearance, were resplendent (and hot) in the orange satin capes. The band stood more or less at attention during the speaking, but could have squatted by bunches just as easy, for all the notice it got from the crowd. Later there was a flag ceremony. Plans called for a short parade, followed by the Star Spangled Banner played in unison by both bands. The Auburn band was instructed where to assemble to begin the parade, but the informant neglected to designate the ' destination. After standing in one spot for some time, the band was asked to move up a little nearer the front, please. There was no place left at the front, so the Auburn Band took a post a short distance to the rear of the Alabama Greatest Show on Earth Pink Lemonade and They're Glad To Eaf This!

Later, the Auburn band was accorded »the dubious honor of leading a parade. This honor also included the distinction of being the only band in the parade. Other paraders were cows . . . yes, cows. Big black ones; little white-faced ones; ferocious looking ones; friendly, sad-eyed bovines; healthy horns on the hoof; sickly, disgusted-looking animals . . . in short, cattle. That's about the end of the trip, except for one minor incident. Old Faithful 304 burned out a bearing, or got a tummy-ache, or felt indisposed. Anyway, she ceased to function. At length, giving up the task of repairing this bus which should have been pensioned years ago, bus officials procured another, and got the second load of bandsmen home safely at five o'clock, a.m. So ended a perfect day! Ag Club Weekly Meet Held Last Wednesday Claude Carter, secretary, charge of the meeting. Plainsmen Will Meet Greenies on Rebound Game to Be Played in New Orleans' Sugar Bowl; First Real Test for Auburn Squad By JOHN PIERCE All preliminaries a thing of the past, Auburn's footballers last night left here to move forward into the thick of the nation's most heated gridiron battles, journeying to New Orleans where they meet the tidal Green Wave of Tulane in the Sugar Bowl tomorrow afternoon. Tulane, knocked sprawling last Saturday by the high flying Boston College Eagles, is coming back with a roar, and Auburn, true to form, waits in the number one revenge spot to catch the Wave on a hard The Ag Club held its regular meeting last Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in Ross Chemical Auditorium. In the absence of the have completely patched president and the vice-president, leaky pass defense and will suf-bourrce. A stock of players such as those gathered in the Greenie camp couldn't stay down if dead. Auburn Has Hopes Yet, rooters from the Plains see light as well as gloom in the nearness of the contest. It is certain that Red Dawson will field a much improved team tomorrow but takes an elastic imagination to conceive a Tulane eleven with its shattered forces drawn together sufficiently—all in less than a week's time — to exhibit top flight ball. Evidence that Boston won with comparative ease comes not only in the lopsided 27-7 score but also in the fact that the Northerners used three full teams. However, another logical argument looms too resoundingly to be ignored. Up until last Saturday it was the universal opinion of authorities the nation over that if there was anything wrong with the Green Wave squad it was the way they laced their shoes before supper, or some such equivalent. This same squad will face Auburn. Real Game in Prospect The fact remains — a powder key waits behind the Sugar Bowl's massive tiers. Tulane will hardly up a average 199% pounds and outweigh Auburn's best by approximately 14 pounds per man. Co-captains O'Boyle and Groves, guards and bulwarks of the gi-gnatic front line, have suffered minor injuries but are due to see at least part time duty. Aside from these the Green Wave appears in top condition. Uncovered in the Boston melee was the brilliant all around backfield play of James Ely who sparked and engineered his mates in the last second scoring drive. Plenty of Reserves Bob Glass and Fred Gloden also will figure prominently in ball carrying duties. Line standout of last week was Charles Dufour, a 206-pounder who works from right tackle and will aid Groves and O'Boyle in steadying the 204 pound line. The Green Wave of '$9 had everything but passers and receivers; somewhere they've dug deep and found these. With every position three and four men took fer from unpolished line play for some weeks to come. But after Short talks were given by R.

Glass Gloden Tittle Ely Auburn-Tulane Scores Given S a t u r d a y ' s Game Will Be T w e n t y - F i r s t of Series Tomorrow's contest between Auburn and Tulane marks the twenty-first meeting in a series dating to 1902. In that year the two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock and the affair was given up as a hopeless case until 1921 when the Tigers started things off with a 14-0 win. Since then the games have come annually with Tulane taking eight victories, Auburn six, and five have ended in deadlocks. The Green Wave from New Orleans scored their most decisive victory in 1929 when they slammed a 52-0 score against the scoreboard, while Auburn's greatest margin has been a 19-0 victory, that in 1922. Tulane's total points add up to 191 as against 107 for the Plainsmen. Interesting is the story told by scores of the games since 1934. In five games only 22 points have been scored, 10 by Auburn and 12 by Tulane. 1935 saw the Tigers emerge with a 10-0 victory and in the meetings of 1936, 1937, and 1938 neither team was able to score. The Tulane powerhouse of '39 finally broke things up, scoring two touchdowns to win 12-0. If Auburn scores tomorrow it will mark the first counter against the team from the Delta in five years. Altogether API has gone scoreless in 10 of the 20 games while the Greenies have struck out eight times. 'Trigger' McGehee, Glomerata Editor, Is Ducked in Lake by Plainsman Staff All the Little Fish in Lake Die After Ducking By JACK BIRDSONG Loaded to the gills with Plainsman staffs and Glomerata heads and their respected dates, the po' lil' 'ol trucky took off for Lake Auburn leaving a trial of hay for the stragglers to follow. Included in the gill-loaded truck contained such luminaries as Trig "I write the Glomerata" McGee, Daniel "We Want Tea Dances" Hollis, Kirk "10%—No less" Newell, and Herbert "I play in the Band" Martin without the usual Karrie. 'Business members were under the guiding wing of Mother Wilson of the Advertising Staff, chaperoned, mind you, chaperoned by Warren "Dean's List" Darty. The receipt books formed a seat for the diligent and hard working money-grabbers, and they were festooned with unpaid hills that accumulated around the office. Upon reaching the Lake, the members immediately unwrapped themselves from their dates, and hied for the bushes. Hours later, the bugle was sounded, and supper began. The gorgeous meal consisted of stale hamburger buns fried in grease to a luscious golden brown. Drinks consisted of drippings from beer bottles as collected from Blackie's and Roy's. The Glomerata boys ate the food with relish (I don't know where they got it) and everything went swell until Trigger emitted a slight burp. Taking this as a grave insult to the caliber of food served, the Plainsman boys immediately pitdhed the Glomerata head in the lake (I don't know what they did with the Glomerata body). While Trig was floating around like a duck and making gurgling sounds, the low, plaintive sound of dying fishes filled the air. Soon perch, trout, and catfish were floating on the top and breathing their dying breath. After Trigger had gone down for the third time, he was speared with a rusty fish hook and dragged to the shore. First aid methods were tried, such as throwing water on head, rubbing palms gently with ice, and the old reliable tourniquet around the neck. All means were in vain-J-he recovered and came around with loud shouts of graft and sabotage. Conclusion: Pishes are dead. Trigger lives. Plainsman honor upheld. Wilson still in debt. deep Auburn will find Tulane the biggest single order since Tennessee's Rose Bowl Vols. Spirit runs high in the Tiger camp. Elated by the display of Power against Howard, all have pitched in and worked confidently for the encounter in line positions. Faulk and Costellos are once more in uniform, injuries are confined to but two or three twisted knees, and the general attitude from the stadium is a positive "This is our year."

Sizzling Steaks & Sea Foods Are Our Specially • Auburn Grille AIR-CONDITIONED Makes Comparison of Big Steel Mill With Campus and Buildings of Auburn By C. J. BASTIEN Early one morning, four weeks ago, I reported to the employment office of the largest steel plant in Alabama, worked through the line of job hunters and presented myself to the employment officer as a Co-op student returning to work. He made out some papers, finger-printed me, and sent me to the hospital for the physical examination which we must take each time we return to work. That took a couple of hours and then I reported to the department in which I had previously worked to find out when I was to come to work; the department is the maintenance department for the entire steel works and my job on my last work period had been draftsman, designer, timekeeper, and all-around helper and handyman for the foreman of the shop. Wide Variety of Jobs I had worked in this shop for two years and there was very little that I had not done: laborer, machinist's helper, operated some of the machinery, tool room keeper, learned to operate the crane, cared for the blueprint files and made many changes in the method and system of filing, wrote work orders, hauling orders, material requisitions and in fact I had written all of the papers used in the running of the shop. The idea seemed to be to put me through the entire working of the shop and give me a view of the work from every angle. And then too, all of my work hadn't been in the shop; much of it had been out in the mills, of which there are a great many in this works. Plant Compared With API There is a Plate Mill that would reach from Burton's Book Store to the girls' dormitories, a Structural Mill that is equal in size, an Open Hearth building that you could put a dozen Samford Halls inside of, tower and all; with smoke stacks that are easily three times as tall as the radio tower on top of the Elec. Lab., and with cranes inside of this single building with an aggregate lifting capacity of almost a thousand tons. But the enumeration is endless: there are two Blooming Mills, a Foundry, Machine Shop, Blast Furnace, Fabricating Shop, and not one of the buildings so small but that it could house a half dozen Langdon Halls.

Each building houses a thousand problems to which there are no analytical solutions. The spick and span glory of the formula, handbook, and the slide rule is shamed here by a scientist with grease in his hair who has seen " t " and felt "t" for twenty years and who does not know why, he only knows! Power in "the Mill" When I first went to work at "the mill" I didn't like it and didn't expect to, but it grew on me; it does that. There is power here; useful power, and who does not bow to power? There is so much of it that it dwarfs the imagination and makes one humble and careful, exceedingly careful: there is one crane that would lift the equivalent of two hundred Fords, a forging hammer that has the striking power of a thousand tons at a single blow, burning torches that slice through foot thick steel blocks, shears that cut four inch slabs, rolling mills that take red hot steel blocks three feet square and ten feet long and roll them out until the finished product is as thin as the metal in a tin can, and would probably be a mile or more long if it had not been cut in the process. A steel slab feeds in the end of a string of rolling mills at a speed comparable to that of a strolling turtle, a very aged turtle, and the other end of the same piece at the same time is traveling faster than Spec Kelly at the end of a "hundred." . . . And then there is the time, about a year ago, when the boss asked me if I would like to take a walk: I had been drawing for about a week and this seemed like manna from heaven.

Behold, We Also Find Twin Boys And These Two Lads Hail from Alabama By DAVID ALLEN It seems that the campus at Auburn is literally teeming with twins. Another interesting set on the male side was found by a wandering reporter of the Plainsman. They are the Hereford twins, Clark and Bledsoe, from Gurley, Alabama. They are both majoring in Agricultural Science. The 11th and 12th children in the family to finish from the same high school, they are following in the footsteps of a brother at Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Both boys played football their last year in high school, Clark holding down guard like an All- State, and Bledsoe doing an equally fine job at the end position. The boys are almost identical twins. They are the same height, weigh the same, wear the same clothes, and both had four of their wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. It seems that Bledsoe has a slightly larger head, but that may be accounted for by his ballplaying. They have no small amount of trouble with the laundry, because they don't try to keep their clothes separate, because it makes no difference to them. They are both extra fond of vanilla ice cream and good sweet milk. Their favorite sport .is football, and both said that they were well satisfied with the game last Friday night. Delighted with their pick of schools, they are fond of its friendly spirit, but dislike its English. The only trouble is that boys who know Clark sometimes speak to Bledsoe, and, as he doesn't know them, he (foesn't seem to be very friendly. Just a case of mistaken identity. We are glad to have these boys with us, and hope that they get through with their English, or learn to like it better. Local boys who are members of Auburn's 1940 football squad are Abb Chrietzberg, center, and Babe McGehee, end, two senior lettermen. Both formerly starred in three sports, football, basketball and baseball, at Lee County High School at Auburn. Two API Professors Named on State Nutrition Committee for Research Spidle, Salmon Are Named on New Group Appointment of a State nutrition committee to supply technical advice on problems of nutrition and food supply "in the present emergency" has been announced by Mrs. Marion Spidle, dean of Auburn's School of Home Economics. The committee was named, said Mrs. Spidle, at the request of Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the Bureau of Home Economics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "It is unnecessary to review with you the number of problems on which help will be needed," Dr. Stanley wrote to Mrs. Spidle. "Many of you are already working with the farm families in the growing and conservation of their own food supplies. There may be some expansion of this program but with the abundant food supplies we have, our chief emphasis now as opposed to 1917 will be on education in nutrition and working with agencies for distribution, to see that all groups get an adequate food supply." Named on the Alabama committee to Mrs. Spidle are Dr. Lois A. Ackerley, director of the School of Home Economics, Montevallo; W. D. Salmon, animal nutritionist, Auburn; Miss Mildred Simon, foods and nutrition specialist, State Extension Service, Auburn; Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, dean of women, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; Miss Amanda Tucker, nutritionist, Department of Public Health, Montgomery. Gary Grant Stars In Historic Show At Martin Sunday "Howards of Virginia" Should Be one of the Year's Best Pictures Carved out of the rugged background of a mighty nation, and considered one of the most stirring pieces of literature of the year, Elizabeth Page's "The Tree of Liberty" comes to the Martin Theatre screen on Sunday and Monday as "The Howards of Virginia." Cary Grant and Martha Scott are starred as "The Howards of Virginia," those two young Americans who fell so madly in love that they broke with all tradition; who believed in their destiny and the destiny of their country with such intensity that they willingly offered themselves and their future to share in America's struggle for freedom. Producer-director Frank Lloyd's screen version of the novel, which was a selection of both the Literary Guild and The Discoverers, is said to have been made on an elaborate and spectacular scale in keeping with the high standard of the book. According to the publishers, Miss Page spent more than five years in writing the novel. Critical comment of many world-famous literary celebrities indicate that it is one of the year's literary masterpieces, just as the film is headed for top honors.

Jimmy Hitchcock and his mighty comrades- ~~~~ in-arms: Porter Grant at left end, Buddy McCollum at left tackle, Boots Chambless at left guard, Johnson at center, Jones at right guard, Tiny Holmes at right tackle, Gump Ariail at right end, Ripper Williams at quarterback, Sterling Dupree at fullback and Allen Rogers at the right half post. The year before a light but gallant ___ . Auburn team had been routed 21-0 by B<*tt€m*TR*0 a p o w e r f u i Tulane eleven that boasted the talent of such men as Don Zimmerman, Nollie Felts and Jerry Dalrymple. And that Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, Oct. 22, 1932, a decidedly partisan New Orleans crowd expected nothing but another devastating riptide of the Green Wave led again by the redoubtable Zimmerman. But they did not know the mettle of Captain Hitchcock's band of Plainsmen and before the sun had set on that day of battle, the news was flashing forth that gave the football world pause and made it wonder at the manner of those glorious, unheralded men who had sent mighty Tulane, unbeaten in the Southern Conference for four dominant years, down into the mire and bitterness of defeat by a 19-7 score. That was the glorious afternoon that Jimmy Hitchcock pranced his way into the Football Hall of Fame and undying Auburn tradition. He could do nothing wrong. His passing arm was unerring, punts boomed from his toe as the thunderbolts of Thor and his bewitched running carried him through the entire Tulane team for two brilliant touchdowns as he drifted through tacklers arms like a puff of storm driven orange smoke. It was his day and as the last whistle cut the stunned silence that lay over that vast stadium, the New Orleans multitude that had come to jeer the hungry Auburn Tiger, and remained to marvel at it, swarmed down onto that brown October sward, hoisted the bone weary and victory happy young Tiger leader to their shoulders and acclaimed him as one of the great. The fray tomorrow promises to approach the memorable day in thrills. The Green Wave, flat and listless against Boston College, can be expected to wash strongly up the comeback trail and capable men, three and four deep at every position, are prepared to bolster the Olive and Green claim to greatness and turn the Orange and Blue back again. Roughhouse Rufus Deal, Dynamite Dick McGow-en, Lloyd Cheatham, Bud Wendling, and Bill Year-out all looked particularly good.

The date, November 30, will remain the the same and Tiger followers will have another opportunity to see the team in action, something which the former setup made almost out of the question for most students. Florida, with three other home games scheduled, allowed the transfer on the grounds that they will meet the University of Texas at Gainesville on the following week-end and two consecutive home games would fail to draw as required, while a good turnout is guaranteed at a game played near Auburn. This will give Auburn eight games to be played within a 150 mile radius of the school, something of a record for a Plains team. Florida will follow Boston College on the schedule, where a game near home would be a boon for both players and fans. Auburn-Florida Rats . Play Here Tomorrow Freshman Team Also Scheduled to Tackle Georgia and Tech in New Auburn Stadium WELCOME STUDENTS! Friendly Service at the ARCADE PHARMACY Martin Theatre Building Phil S. Hudson, '34 OPELIKA While Auburn battles Tulane in New Orleans Saturday the rat eleven will tend the home fires when they clash with Florida's frosh at 2 in the Auburn Stadium. Due to the inability of a majority of students to attend the main bout a large crowd should be on hand to watch the debut of a Baby Tiger squad dotted with names of former high and prep school luminaries. The game is the first of three freshman tilts scheduled for the home field and will be followed by meetings with Georgia on Oct. 19 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 11. The rats, coached by Bobby Blake and Walter Gilbert, have been used largely thus far as sparring mates for the Tiger varsity and have spent little time in individual team practice sessions, but will field a team comparable in every respect to that of last year which won two games and tied one. No Definite Starters Yet No definite starters have been picked as yet but should come from the following: Everett Harwell and Chois Dyar, ends; Bobby Long and Bill Schuler, tackles; Merrill Giradeau and Jim Rose, guards; Jim Pharr, center; Bobby Black or Gene Barranieu, Bick Jenkins or Tommy Kennell, and I Jim Conrad, and Johnny Richardson, backs. Outstanding among the freshman footballers is Jim Bargainer, ex-Opelika High School star and All-State choice, who has showed sufficient promise during practice to make himself an almost certain starter for the Saturday game. Plans have been made to have the Auburn-Tulane score broadcast at the stadium at regular intervals. tf/^^foTez-^ezeZ tffe COOLER, MILDER, BETTER-TASTING . . . that means Chesterfield Ihere's a whole World's Series of good smoking in Chesterfields.. .that's why it's the smoker's cigarette.
