Military Corps
Again Receives
Highest Rating
Unit Score Excellent In Annual
War Department Inspection
IS 11TH STRAIGHT YEAR
Major Kennedy Reports Best
Inspection Held For Years
For the 11th consecutive year the
R. O. T. C. unit in Auburn has re­ceived
the highest rating that the
War Department of the United
States can give to a student military
organization. Announcement that
, the regiment scored "excellent" was
made Wednesday after the comple­tion
of an inspection, Monday and
Tuesday, by the two visiting offi­cers.
Major G. H. Franke of Atlanta,
and Captain R. A. Laird of Hunts-v.
lle.
Ma;'or J. T. Kennedy, commandant
of the Auburn unit, expressed him­self
as being well-satisfied with the
whole inspection and said that the
conduct and bearing of the entire
student corps on the campus and
about the town made a wonderful
impression upon tho inspecting offi­cers.
"In all," said the Major, "it was
the best inspection that Auburn has
had for years."
While here, the officers inspected
the unit in both theoretical and
practical military activities. They
saw the Auburn cadeis solve a bat­tle
problem, observed class work, and
witnessed a review of the entire unit
• of 1,008 students. Major' Franke
made a general inspection of the en-lire
unit and a detailed inspection of
the-field- artillery rait, "while Cantata
Laird made a detailed inspection of
the engineer unit.
Auburn is one of a very few in­stitutions
in the United States hav­ing
a R. O. T. C. unit that has won
this distinction for 11 consecutive
years. For the last four years the
Auburn unit has won this distinction
under the leadership of Major Ken­nedy
who, by special request of Pres­ident
Bradford Knapp, will remain
at Auburn during the year 1930-31 as
commandant.

Songsters From Alabama Col
l e g e Presentation Well
Received
Coming for the sixth time to give,
a concert in Auburn, the Alabama
College Glee Club rendered a con­cert
in Langdon Hall last night.
The club, under the direction of
Colin B. Richmond, presented a pro
gram that con'sisted of choral num­bers
and solos. The program was
terminated with the Alma Mater.
The concert given here was a spe
cial one, in exchange for the pro­gram
given by the Auburn Glee Club
at Montevallo this spring. The local
group opened the Palmer Hall in
Montevallo with a concert.
The following is the program: "The
Walrus and the Carpenter," by Flet­cher;
"Lotus Land," by Scott, and
"Minstrels," by DeBussy, played by
Dorothy Stallworth; "Thank God for
a Garden," by Clarence Lucas;
"Rockin' in de Win',5' and "Sweet
Miss Mary," by W. H. Neidlinger,
and "Land of Hope and Glory," by
Edward Elgar; this was followed by
the Alma Mater.
The club, which consisted of
twenty-four members, was not quite
complete because many of the seniors
were left to attend the concerts on
the Montevallo campus.
L. W. Thomas, of the Auburn Play­ers,
was in charge of all stage man­agement.

Band Will Broadcast
Over WAPI Monday
Varied Program of Music to Be Of­fered
by College Musicians
Activities On
Stadium Plans
Are Postponed
Prexy Declares Plans Not Yet
Perfected; Committees
To Act
It has been decided by those in
charge of the current plan for the
erection of a stadium at Auburn that
no decisive movement will be made
until the committee representing the
Executive Cabinet has met with alum
ni and decided on some more definite
move than is now in hand. As the
plan now stands there will be no vote
of the separate classes until a joint
plan from the committee and the alum
ni has been published.
Dr. Knapp in an interview with
a Plainsman representative Friday,
gave out the following statement:
The Auburn Band, under the di­rection
of P. R. Bidez, will be heard
in a radio concert over WAPI from
Auburn on Monday evening, May 5, 10
to 11 o'clock. A varied program of
music will be offered featuring both
college songs and classical band com­positions.
Following an extended participation
in the Mardi Gras festivities in Mo­bile
in February, the Auburn Band
has this year been acclaimed one of
the best college bands in the South.
The concert Monday evening will
be the second radio appearance of the
band during the current session.
The weekly Auburn Hour radio pro­gram
has been changed from Friday
evening to Mondy evening 10 to 11
p. m.
Sunday, the band pesented an open
air concert from the front ,of Lang­don
Hall.
The program given was as follows:
U. S. Field Artillery" march, Sousa;
overture from Rossini's "Stabat Ma­ter;"
"Romance in F Minor," by
Tchaiskowsky; "Stradella," by Flo-tow;
"Ballet Egyptian," by Luigini;
"La Traviata," by Verdi; and the
march "Emblem of Freedom," by Ed­win
Franko Goldman.
"I am anxious about the move­ment
for a stadium. I am a lit­tle
afraid that some students may
not have understood. Personally
I do not regard the plan as entire­ly
perfected. I know from ex­perience
that we have to get to­gether
in a final committee and
get a plan worked out which will
suit everyone. I am afraid also
students misunderstood in an­other
way. I had no particular
intention nor purpose myself to
want to tax anybody anything, es­pecially
this year. Anyway, the
first duty is to sell the bonds, get
the plan going, get the approval
of the alumni, and their cordial
cooperation, then at the beginning
of the fall term we can commence
to collect money. I have already
the promise from one alumnus of
$10,000.00. I know a number of
others who will buy $500.00 in
bonds. Personally I prefer that
we leave off the matter of taking
the remainder of the contingent
fee. Let the contingent fee alone.
That belong to* the institution in
case the student destroys proper­ty.
Put the whole matter of our
contribution here on the athletic
fee by adding to that. I have a
lot of plans for readjusting on
these fees so that we can take care
of this one. If the student body in
their classes, will approve of our
building a stadium and go with
me as nearly unanimously as pos­sible
on the 19th of May on this
proposition, we can put it over.
The thing we need is confidence."
Bradford Knapp.

Clever, Unique Initiation Takes
Form of May Day Festival
Wins Porter Cup
*
*m
In a public initiation, on Thursday
the Spades honor society formally
presented to the student body the ten
outstanding students selected by that
organization to uphold the ideals and
traditions of the organization, mem­bership
in which is recognized as a
very high honor, during the coming
year. The young men who were so
signally honored are Ernest Bell, C.
S. Davis, Dunham Harkins, Eugene
Gray, Rex Sikes, W. S. Myrick, Har­old
Harmon, Howard Gray, R. L. Lov-vorn,
and Hugh Ellis.
In the form of a May Day festi­val,
the initiation on College Street
was one of the cleverest and most
unique presented by Spades in many
years. The arrival of the merry-mak­ers
was heralded by loud blasts from
the trumpet of Hugh Ellis. Upon
alighting from the royal chariot, the
queen, Dunham Harkins, was led in
a mock royal procession down the
street, over a path of roses. The
coronation ceremony was held while
the queen's maids danced in honor
of her majesty.
It is hardly necessary to review the
achievements of rine of the new
Spades, as it will be recalled that all
but one of them were elected to an­other
highly rating society, at which
time the Plainsman carried a full ac­count
of what each man had accom­plished.
It remains only to say that
Dunham Harkins, who completes the
ten, is a member of the Lambda Chi
Alpha fraternity and that he is the
captain-elect of the 1930 football elev­en.

Interfraternity Golf Match Will Be­gin
In Near Future, Officials
Announce
Plans for an inter-fraternity golf
match to be held in the near future
under the auspices of the Inter-fra­ternity
Council and the Tiny Tiger
Links, are being prepared. The date
of the meet and all rules will be an­nounced
soon.
The winning team will be present­ed
a loving cup by the Tiny Tiger
management. Prizes consisting of
golf equipment and other articles
will be given to individuals making
low scores. The prizes will be placed
on display at the links previous to
holding the match.
Each fraternity will hold its own
elimination match, picking a team
from the four low score men. Ticket
books may be used in running off the
elimination matches, but will not be
accepted for the finals.
This is another incidence of the
Tiny Tiger links cooperating with
the student body. They were instru­mental
in sending off the first Au­burn
golf team to a competitive
meet.

L. Morton, scoutmaster, called a
special meeting for the purpose of
organizing a chapter.
Morton stated that with the help
of the older scouts and the towns­people,
a model troop can be formed.
It is believed that the separating of
the older from the younger scouts
will be an advantage.
The new scoutmaster has had wide
experience in this field of activity,
serving as head of an Atlanta troop
for three years.
The troop has for its councilmen
the following: Professor A. L.

THE PLAINSMAN
—congratulates the winners in the Horse
Show. The story of Auburn students
having no riding ability would have no
foundation after such a display of horse­manship.
—feels that the very cooperative part the
students did in the R. O. T. C. Inspection
the early part of this week was well- worth
the effort. Again Auburn is at the top in
military excellence, and again the student
body came through in a pinch.
Stadium Issue Postponed
For Further Consideration
Due to a general misunderstanding the
stadium project has been postponed until
after the alumni convene the latter part of
this month. The inability of the student
body to thoroughly familiarize itself with
the different phases and details of the plan
of financing the construction of the sta­dium
made such action necessary.
In the minds of many the postponement
of the issue, which was raging so in the
minds of all last week, was the same as
admittance by the proponents of the plan
that the-death knell had sounded, but that
is not true. The issue is not dead, but has
been placed on the shelf until the students
have become better acquainted with it and
have been able to convince themselves of
the feasible characteristics surrounding it,
and to allow the friends and alumni of Au­burn,
on whom the financing of the sta­dium
would have probably fallen ultimate­ly
as they would have felt that it was their
duty more than that of the student body
to see that Auburn had a stadium worthy of
her, to consider it.
The present plan is to have a committee
of the student body meet with one duly ap­pointed
by the alumni in their meeting
here on May 19 to fully discuss the possi­bility
of erecting a stadium in Auburn. It
is well that this is being done as they will
feel that they are having much to do with
the actual initiative that it takes-to start
it on the way to realization.
In the meanwhile, the question is still
blazing with vitality. It is being discus­sed;
it will soon be passed the reactionary
stage in the student's viewpoint and he
will be able to see more clearly how it can
be done. It will have then found the favor
which it deserves now. In class meetings
it needs to be pulled apart and each parti­cle
examined carefully for all possible
flaws. We believe that much examination
will fail to-reveal any adverse features that
will materially affect its being carried out.
We hope the student body will give it fur­ther
consideration before final action is tak­en
on it in a couple of weeks.
Summer Sessions
Grow in Importance
A brief glance at the resume of the
summer school session to be held here
shows that a larger and more varied num­ber
of courses and a larger faculty than
ever before will be presented.
There are a total of 262 courses in­cluded
of which sixty-five are new, and
the faculty is to number ninety-five, an
increase of eight over the 1929 faculty.
An addition has been made in library sci­ence,
the aim of which is to train teach-ers
to serve as librarians in secondary
schools and its courses are planned to
meet the' requirements of the American
Library Association and the Southern As­sociation
of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. Courses in pharmacy appear for
the first time this year in the summer ses­sion
bulletin. In the school of graduate
studies, a marked expansion is in evi­dence,
eighteen of the thirty-seven courses
offered being included for the first time.
Nine new courses are offered in educa­tion
and thr.ee of these are to be taught by
Dr. Robert B. Raup, well known scholar
and professor from Columbia University.
The regular Auburn faculty is to be sup­plemented
by eighteen visiting teachers.
Another distinct unit of the summer ses­sion
will be the standard junior and senior
high school to be used as a training school
for college students studying education.
Special courses for vocational agricultur­al
teachers have been arranged, to be given
for the first three weeks of the second
term.
It can be seen that there has been a
decided enlargement shown in the sum­mer
session, which is in direct keeping
with Dr. Knapp's keynote of expansion
and the Plainsman feels that those respon­sible
for this outlined program truly have
the growth and development of Auburn
first in their minds.
Great Interest In
Student Socialist Tour
An unusual amount of interest is being
shown by college students in the first tour
ever inaugurated for the purpose of study­ing
labor and Socialist movements in Eu­rope.
The tour, scheduled for this summer,
is being sponsored by the League for In­dustrial
Democracy in cooperation with the
Open Road, Inc.
The tour is different from those of the
past in that instead of the tourists study­ing
culture, as thousands have done in the
past, this new development in the social
activities of the world will come under
scrutiny. The elements surrounding the ac­tivities
and achievements of cooperative,
trade union, and political organizations that
have been prevalent in Socialistic Europe
are to be more closely studied.
The tour will last throughout July and
August, costing less than eight hundred
dollars. Although the more serious issues
will come first, the recreationai side is not
to be omitted. We question the good to be
derived from such a trip as this, for Russia
is ruled in a manner most people do not
understand, and it cannot be taken as a
model for anything constructive and for the
good of the people of the world.
FACULTY KNOCKERS
Though not very large in numbers there
is a certain distinct group in the Univer­sity
faculty who are continually painting
the University, its methods and projects
in a very black way. If it isn't the fact
that the materialism of those attending
the school is bad, then the system of
classes is poorly arranged—or some other
so-called fault. • It would almost seem—
and especially in one case—that these
individuals obtained the" very means of
existence from this kicking.
There can be no doubt that when any
great undertaking is planned and orga­nized
shortcomings are sure to appear.
The University is no exception as anyone
intimate with it will acknowledge. Yet,
when persons who derive their livelihood
from the organization lose faith with it,
how can they expect others to ground
their faith in it. Students of the Univer­sity
resent this perpetual knocking. Have
not these students chosen the University
as their Alma Mater, and by so doing have
automatically professed their faith in the
school of their choice? Is it any wonder
that these same students dislike these
faculty members who attempt to tear down
their faith?
Perhaps it would be to the advantage
of both faculty and students if these cer­tain
faculty members studied the plans
of the University and caught the spirit
which founded it and has pushed it for­ward.—

Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman.
Dear Sir:—
We noticed in your last issue that the
Plainsman was surprised to learn "that
the Senior Mechanicals had burned the
Electrical Engineers posters." Your sur­prise
was surpassed only by the senior Me­chanical's
Amazement. In as much as the
'poster" in quest was returned safe and
sound, without a scratch, we feel that
there is an apology due for the placing of
incendiary blotches on our lilly reputa­tion.
We hope that in the future, when it be­comes
the Plainsman's distasteful duty to
regret the return of the romper age, you
will have one of your reporters thorough­ly
investigate the case an danalyze the
ashes. The Electricals have their papen
doll back.
Yours for BIGGER A.I.E.E. SHIELDS,
Nu Mu, 1930
The Plainsman is wilting under tfiis
scathing, tortuous fire of Nu Mu; while for
telling such inglorious lies, the poor elec­trical
students will probably adjourn to
that rendezvous where crackling and siz­zling
will keep them well occupied. The
Plainsman hopes that this shower of apolo­gies
will appease the mental agony and hu­miliation
that Nu Mu had been subjected
to since this dastardly crime was so er­roneously
charged to its members.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
When the City of
Auburn received and
accepted an offer of
$100,000 for its wa­ter
property and thir­ty-
year franchises for
electricity and water
services, and when
t h e college joined
them by selling its
municipal service dis­tribution
systems outside the campus for
both electric light and water for $300,000,
it inaugurated a new day in Auburn. The
biggest thing it means to me is the fact
the city can get out of debt, build a Gram­mar
School, add to its High School and do
some of the things which have long needed
to be done. I congratulate every citizen
and every parent here in Auburn. The
college is helped too, of course, because this
money will enable it to proceed at once
with the building of the Textile plant and
shops.

In an address delivered recently one of
the most prominent business men in the
United States said that American business
is facing a serious shortage of properly
trained executives. An editorial comment
upon this address used this statement:
"The technical and scientific branches of
industry are making greater demands upon
their personnel today than ever in the past,
and vast new fields of business endeavor are
being opened up through the application of
recent discoveries in chemistry, metallurgy,
radio, electricity, combustion engineering,
aviation, automotive science and in the
mechancal industries. The opportunities
for young men have been greatly multiplied
in these fields in recent years. With these
advances have also come new and more
difficult problems in administration, fi­nance,
law and accounting." Let no young
man in college these days believe that the
day of pioneers or the day of new discov­eries
is over. A new day is really just on
us.
* * * *
One of the deans of this institution, in
trying to help students who were behind
in their work, began writing letters,to the
parents of these backward students. After
he had been helping at the lower end of the
line for a little while he thought how fine
it would be if he would write to parents on
the other end of the line and congratulate
them on the fact that their boys or girls
were doing well. The answers he has re­ceived
from these letters from parents of
students are well worth the reading. One
father wrote these words: "I never got a
letter in my life that I appreciated as I
do this one." He then goes on in a simple
and earnest way to express his appreciation
and to voice just a little bit of his own anx­iety
to see his boy through college in good
shape. I am quite sure that the average
one of us doesn't quite appreciate the depth
of feeling of fathers and mothers for their
boys and girls. The failures hurt the fa­thers
and mothers even more than they do
the students and I am not sure but what
the successes give them more satisfaction
than their own successes in life.
BAD FACE PAINTING
The Natchez Democrat is dissatisfied
with the unskillful manner with which
face paint is sometimes applied. Says The
Democrat:
One . occasionally meets a young
woman whose face painting is so crude
as to make her look almost as ghastly
or hideous as did some of the Indians in
war time. Better were it for such
young women if they should have their
faces treated by some good house paint­er
annually. The economy of this ought
to appeal. Special rates might be ob­tained
if the contracts were awarded
in the Spring paint-up week.
The Jackson Daily News, while sympa­thetic
with this outburst, seems doubtful
that anything will come of it. "Every
blessed one of 'em believes their paint jobs
are absolutely perfect," declares The Daily
News. "We may as well let them go along
and daub to their hearts' content. After
all, tastes vary in painting. We have be­held
so-called masterpieces in great art mu­seums
for which multiplied thousands of
dollars were expended, yet they looked to
us utterly exercrable."—Montgomery Ad­vertiser.

And we hear that Northwestern University students are demanding two
formal dances each year, which reminds us of this little poem.
MY FIRST TUX
I borrow'd it from a friend as high
And broad and thick and fat as I,
and puffed and squirmed with many a sigh,
In my first tux.
A shirt that buttoned hind before,
With bosom stiff and studs galore,
Made me puff and squirm some more
In my first tux.
The color pointed upside down
And squeezed my Adams apple—
Zounds!
The great Stone Face would lose his frown
At my first tux.
It took an hour to tie the tie
That made my drooping chip raise high—
A crick in the.neck came by and by
In my first tux.
I finally got the blamed thing on
With wind and patience nearly gone—
I couldn't take a decent yawn *
In my first tux.
There were three score of people there,
At my first formal like affair—
I'm sure they all gave the stare,
In my first tux.
I'll never forget my first long pants,
Or shave, or date, or kiss perchance,
But what's more vivid, I ask askance,
. • Than my first tux. . —Exchange.

however, the mule refused to accompany Nixon and Officer Early was forced to
call for the mule. The mule is like the police force.

UNGRATEFUL CUSSES
At Northwestern University a mysteri­ous
prowler has been playing weird seren­ades
on a violin for the benefit of the co­eds
living at one of the dormitories. The
first two nights the co-eds heard the ec­centric
fiddler, they imagined it was some

When the concert was repeated the third
night, they decided to call the police.

BRINGING THE COUNTRY TO
COLLEGE
Barefoot Day for freshmen of the Uni­versity
of South Carolina was recently
held, much to the disgust of the freshmen
and to the merriment of, the upperclass-men.
Freshmen arrayed in overalls, pa­jamas,
and other unusual articles of dress
for class wear, added to the color of the
event. It seems that due to the excessive
heat which prevailed during the day, fresh­men
really suffered physically as well as
mentally.
These South Carolina students are queer
collegians. Three most unusual boys
stand out. One has never drunk a
Coca Cola, another is ngver seen without
his coat on, and one senior has up to
now refrained from having a picture of
himself taken.
* . * * *
THE OTHER SIDE
Co-eds at the University of Kansas have
grown tired of the one-sidedness of the
existing school regulations which forbid
women to leave town on a date, and they
have expressed a desire for the rule to
be extended so as to include men. The
existing practice of men to monologue
about their carousals and to boast of how
little sleep they secure has become an ob­ject
of disgust to the co-eds. Why the
idea; co-eds are to be treated as crooks
until proven so. Therefore, keep them
cooped in. That seems to be the slogan
of most of the colleges today. The girls
have enough sense to go away to college,
make splendid grades in the same subjects
that the male students take, but they are
not considered capable of taking care of
themselves. It just doesn't make sense.

COLUMBUS WAS A PIRATE
Christopher Columbus was a pirate, and
he discovered America in 1464, not in 1492.
These are the claims Louis Ulloa, Peru­vian
engineer-historian will expose at the
International Conference on History in
Seville, Spain, in May.
Ulloa has been engaged in historical re­search
on this subject since 1922, and de­clares
his claims are substantiated by a
document discovered in Simaneas Castle,
near Valladolid, Spain.
This document, he reports, records work
of a special tribunal created by Ferdinand
of Castile, on the death of Queen Isabella
in 1504, to judge the claims for compensa­tions
the queen had promised in order to
"permit the soul of the dead V> rest in
peace".
Ulloa holds Columbus appeared to com­plain
that "promises made by Queen Isa­bella
about discoveries made when he was
about 28 had not been carried out."
These discoveries, claims the Peruvian,
included that of America, probably Flor­ida,
long before 1492.
Ulloa also says he is in possession of
documents revealing that Columbus and
his brother, Diego, frequently committed
acts of piracy on the high seas. .

BRIEFS
Many of the Colleges are asking that
athletes go to Blue Ridge this summer to
the conference, not for personal benefit
alone but also to help influence the young­er
students in going also.
"Hack and Mack" the famed touchdown
twins at the University of Tennessee carry
their rivalry into the classroom; both ran
for the same office recently.
Fred Singeton, all-American tackle at
the University of Alabama and honor stu­dent,
has turned down an offer to appear
in a new picture that will feature all
American football men. He is a junior
at the University and fears that taking
part in the picture would keep him out of
the game.

WRITING THIS column has been
like pulling teeth, but no small
amount of money would persuade
me to blot out the experience of having done
it. No column, no matter how terrible it
has been, has come easy; all of which is
a little personal sympathy and backslap-ing
between me and myself, which no one
is supposed to appreciate other than Aaron
and my typewriter. And this, my last
column, bids fair to be no exception. I
hurry through with it as one rushes to
finish an unpleasant task that a more
pleasant one may be begun, although I
know that there is no task more pleasant
out before me; and before long I shall
realize that doing these weekly stints has
been about the most enjoyable but most
unsatisfying event of my college career.

OF COURSE, the stadium is the most
timely, and pregnant) with signifi­cance
to the students, of all our questions
and problems at present.
The thing began like a deluge from a
clear sky as far as most of the student
body was concerned; in fact, for all the
students except the small group in whose
minds the wonderful scheme was born.
Quite suddenly last Friday convocation was
called for all the students and the plan
for building the stadium was laid before
them. And immediately the entire campus
was thrown into a panic of politics.
It is our belief that if the classes had
held meetings immediately following con­vocation
and the motion made for each
student to donate his contingent fee to a
stadium fund, it would have passed over­whelmingly.
But this was impossible, or at
least it was not done. As a result, the
influence of those' opposed to the issue
coupled with the banal and dogmatic ar­guments
used by the students in favor of
it, which did more harm than good, have
sounded a death knell to the stadium pro­ject.
The group of students fostering the
plan did not have up quite enough steam
to push it over in one big lunge and they
failed to reckon on the reactionary back­wash
which set in after the question cooled.
I do not believe the plan will pass the
student body by classes this year. And the
precedent set by this year's classes is like­ly
to be followed next year and the next.
I attribute the failure of the stadium
project to the outward uncertainty and
lack of planning regarding the whole thing,
and to the fact that the entire student body
had nothing to do or to say in the forma­tion
of such a plan that was to involve
them so acutely. When the students sat
back to take a deep breath and think over
the idea, it occurred to them that it. all
seemed a bit sudden and they began to
ask themselves, "what have we here?, and
isn't it supposed to be a bit too sudden?"
And it was right then, when the students
began to ask themselves questions which
were answered by the sainted few in such
a fever of haste and assurance, that they
began to scratch their head and to have
doubts.
Personally, while I should like very much
to see a great sta*dium at Auburn, I do
not believe that we are ready for it yet.
To me it seems a rather impractical thing
to tear off building stadiums when we are
in such a state of poverty that our build­ing
program is at a standstill because of
the lack of funds.
I still think that Auburn needs ade­quate
buildings for educational purposes
more than she needs a football stadium.
Some people argue that a great football
team to draw the students should come-first,
and that with this the school could
more easily gain the needed equipment.
Well, I believe that is building a college
on a false foundation; that it is planting
the roots of education in quicksand.
Well, this is about the end of Aaron
Billowheel and perhaps it is just as well.
But this is my story and I'll stick to it.
Good-bye.

student affairs is also considered.
To become eligible a girl must aver­age
eighty-five in all college work.
Election to Lamps is one of the
highest honors a girl can attain in
her college life at Auburn.
Faculty, alumnae, and active mem­bers

Frock Pate and Clifford
Smith Feature in Tiger
Victory Over U. ofFla.
Panama City, Fla., April 25.—
Timely hitting by Frock Pate and
some mid-season pitching by Clifford
Smith Auburn sophomore, who start­ed
his first Southern conference game
gave the Tigers a 3-2 win over the
Gators to even the two-game series.
Pate got a home run, triple and
two singles in five times at bat, his
circuit clout knotting the count, 2-2,
in the third as he sent Smith across
the plate ahead of him. In addition
to his heavy hitting, Pate also gave
Smith some sensational support in
the field.
In making his Southern confer­ence
debut as a starting pitcher, Smith
held the strong Florida nine to three
lits, each coming in separate innings.
Florida was retired in order by Smith
in five innings.
Florida score twice in the opening
frame on errors by Lloyd and Smith,
a sacrifice by Black and one of the
two singles obtained by Nut Shirley.
This was all the damage done by
Coach Brady CowelFs 'aggregation as
Smith was bearing down causing the
Gators to pop up or roll out to the
infield.
After annexing the first counters,
the Gators placed men on the paths
in the sixth, seventh and ninth frames
but Smith continued his brilliant per­formance
and coasted through with­out
any trouble occurring. In the
ninth, Shirley came through with his
second single, was sacrificed to sec­ond
by Sauls, but Smith caused Evers
to roll out to Pate and Clark, who
was pinch hitting for Slough, to roll
out to him.
Auburn was dangerous at the bat
in all except two stanzas as they
placed runners on the bases in every
'Gators Win Out In
Third Contest With
Auburn Tigers, 4-3
Panama City, Fla., April 26.—Al­though
outhit 12 to 6, Coach Brady
CowelPs University of Florida 'Gators
won the rubber game in the three-game
series with the Auburn Tigers
here Saturday afternoon, 4 to 3. Sat­urday's
engagement, like the other
two, developed into a pitchers' duel,
with Ben Clemons getting better sup­port
from his mates than Buck Cart­er.
Clemons was very stingy with
base hits with men pn the bases,
twelve Auburn runners dying on the
sacks.
The first two cantos found neither
team scoring but Auburn counted
once in the third when Frock Pate
was" safe at first on Black's error and
scored on a two-bagger to right by
Alternate Captain Joe Burt. Florida
evened the count in the fourth when
Nut Shirley found the fence for an
uninterrupted trip around the sacks.
Neither team scored in the fourth,
as a double play killed Auburn's only
chances of scoring. The Tigers an­nexed
their second marker in the fifth
when Capt. Crawford, Pate and New­ton
singled. Florida again knotted
the count, when they sent one run
across the plate on a hit by Slough, an
error by Carter and a sacrifice fly by
Black. The 'Gators went into the
lead for the first time in the sixth
when they counted twice on hits by
Slough and Evers and an error by
•Pate, Evers crossed the plate on
Pate's error, while Slough scored on
a fielder's choice.
The final run for the Plainsmen
came in the seventh after two were
out. Kaley doubled down the third
base line and scored on Ben Newton's
second timely bingle. Auburn threat­ened
in the ninth when Pete Harris
batted for Lloyd and received free
transportation to first, Burt flew out
to Derr but Kaley singled, the ball

canto except the second and ninth.
Pate's four-ply swat accounted for
the initial runs in the third, while
singles by Burt, Newton and Hodges
gave the Tigers their final tally.
Coach Fred Sheridan shifted his
batting order for the second time
with the Gainesville nine as he moved
Hodges and Newton farther down the
line. Hodges and Newton came thru
in their new positions as they figured
conspicuously in the final Auburn
run.
All of Auburn's runs were earned,
while Florida received their markers
as a gift costly miscues by the Au­burn
inner works making the game
very close.
Pate was the big gun for the Tigers
with the stick, followed, closely by
Phil Hodges, who threw off his
southpaw jinx, and hit safely twice
in four times. Shirley and Evers
were the only Floridans to get hits
off of Smith. Pate also worked a
Houdini trick on Shirley in the
fourth after the latter had reached
second on his single and a sacrifice.
Shirley thought Smith was fixing to
deliver the ball and Pate pulled the
"rabbit" out from under his arms
and Shirley was retired by the well
known hidden ball trick.
Both pitchers hurled winning ball,
but Smith silenced the Florida artil­lery
better than Guise did Auburn's.
Guise struck out 10, walked two,
while Smith sent five back to the
bench with his drop deceptive side
arm delivery and only issued one base
on balls.

Although the Auburn Tigers lost
the series to the strong 'Gator base­ball
team, all of the games, were ex­cellent
and every fan who witnessed
the games certainly received full
value for his money.
* * *
The Enterprise All-Stars composed
of former Auburn stars; such as Fob
James, Bully Hitchcock, Whiggam,
Tamplin and Pee Wee Wright, de
feated the Tigers 8-3 in a slow and
uninteresting game. However, Coach
Sheridan was saving his best pitchers
for the 'Gator series, and since five
Tigers from the varsity squad were
performing with the Stars, the de
feat was devoid of its usual sting.
A feature of the game was the
fart that Ben Newton played the en
f-'re game at first base without get­ting
an assist or a put out. This
seldom happens in organized base­ball.
The players were well entertained
while in Enterprise, and an excel­lent
time was had by all.
* * *
In the first game of the series at
Panama City with the University of
Florida, the Tigers were the victims
of hard luck, for they played heads
up ball, and were fighting with the
usual Auburn spirit. Lefty Prim
pitched an excellent game as well
as his mound opponent, Lefty Fish­er.
Derr, centerfielder for Florida,
robbed the Tigers of several hits by
his running catches of fly balls in
the outer garden.
* * *
The Tigers came back in the sec­ond
game with a vim, and reversed
the score on the Gators, winning the
game 3-2. Frock Pate and Chula
Smith were the stars of this game.

bouncing off Lagano's ankle and roll­ing
to left field. Harris tried to make
third on the play, but Lagano relayed
the horse hide to Slough, who tagged
Harris for the second cut, and in turn
threw to Black at second who caught
Kaley for the final out as he was slid­ing
into second.
The six hits given up by Carter
were divided among a sextet of 'Ga­tors.
Newton led the hitters for the
afternoon with three singles in four
times. Capt. Crawford, Riley and
Kaley each banged out two safe hits.
The final game was played before
a crowd that packed the stands to its
capacity, 2,500. The series just con­cluded
was probably the best ever
played by the two teams since they
started their annual meetings in Pan­ama
City.

Pate featured the game with his ex­cellent
fielding as well as his hit­ting,
getting four hits in five at­tempts,
one of these being a home
run. Smith also hit timely, and
pitched an excellent game. His fast
ball was almost unhittable, as the
'Gators only collected four hits.
* * *
The third and deciding game was
certainly bad for a weak heart, as
it was very close, and the winner
doubtful until the final out in the
ninth inning. Buck Carter pitched
an excellent game for the Tigers,
the Gators touched him for five
hits, one a home run by Nut Shirley,
Gator catcher. Shirley was the star
of the Florida team during the se­ries
as he did good hitting and was
dangerous at the plate. Captain
Crawford adjusted his eye to the ball,
after being robbed of hits in the
preceding games, collected some
timely hits in the final tilt. Duck
Riley continued his sensational field­ing
at second base, and did some
good hitting.

While not on the diamond, the
Tigers were royally entertained by
the Floridians. A boat trip to the
Gulf was enjoyed by the players,
who witnessed the harpooning of a
large shark, since no one will believe
our story, the writer will not quote
any figures, but still contends that
the shark weighed 700 pounds.
Golfing at the Country Club was
very enjoyable for some. Pirn Craw­ford
and Caroline Madell proving to
be champions at the game; however,
Jim was especially good while there
was a wager at stake. Ike, Niggar,

foursome with his excellent recita­tion
of the "Great Day in Rome".

The second meet was with the
Georgia Bulldogs in Athens. The
Tigers thinly-clads ran away with
this meet to the tune of 70 1-3 to
55 2-3. In the 100 yard dash Chamb­lee
placed first and Capt. Bell se­cured

event.
The Tigers placed three times in

and Tommie Gaillard copped the pole
vault with first and second places
respectively. The presence of Percy
Beard was missed but the Tigers
placed'' second and third in low and
high hurdles. Other first places won
by Auburn were the javelin won by
Sam Robinson and the discus won by
Coleman. Coleman also placed sec­ond
in the shot put and McClendon
placed second in the half mile.
The Tigers romped away with the
trophy in the Southeastern A.A.U.

UNWITTINGLY FOUND
PLANET 6 YEARS AGO
Dr. Meldrum Stewart, Director
Says Canadians Failed to Ap­preciate
Significance
Ottawa, Ont. —(IP)— Possibility
that the Dominion Observatory here
unwittingly discovered a n o t h er
trans-Neptunian planet six years ago
and failed to appreciate the signifi­cance
of its discovery, was being en­tertained
by Dr. Meldrum Stewart,
director of the observatory, accord­ing
to an Associated Press report.
The Associated Press story con­tinued:
In considering this possibility Dr.
Stewart was inclined to agree with
an opinion of Prof. Harlow Shapely,
director of Harvard Observatory, at
Cambridge, Mass.
Prof. Shapely said that a moving
object recorded on negatives made
by the Dominion Observatory of the
constellations of Feb. 7, Feb. 24, and
Feb. 29, 1924, was not the recently
discovered planet X, as Dr. Stewart
at first reported as believing, but
an entirely new planet.
"We are not at all sure the planet
shown on our plates is Planet X,"
Dr. Stewart said. He had been told
why Prof. Shapely did not believe
the moving object recorded on the
Dominion Observatory plates was the
planet located by the Lowell Obser­vatory
at Flagstaff, Ariz., March 13.
"It is about the same distance out,"
Dr. Stewart said, "If it is not that
one it is another one."
Dr. Stewart said that as soon as
word came to him of the discovery of
the planet X, he started a search
through old plates. On the three
1924 dates he found they had record-e
da hitherto unnoticed object.
"We are now examining our older
charts," he continued, "going back
to 1906 to see if we can pick it up.
If we can find it on these it will de-termii.'

A study of the plates revealed each
had recorded a movement of the ob­ject,
showing it was not a fixed star.

jar, estimated to be at least. 2,000
years old and containing the bones
of four persons, is a recent discovery
reported by the Toledo Museum of
Art—University of Michigan Arche-ological
Expedition in "Mesopotamia.
So many promising college writers
turned up among the contestants to the
recent College Humor-Doubleday, Do-ran
Campus Prize Novel Contest that
with the announcement of the prize
winning novel, the editors reveal their
plans to make the Campus Novel Prize,
of $3,000 an annual event. The Cam­pus
Novel Prize becomes established
with its award to a co-ed of North­western
University—Miss Betty
White. Miss White achieves distinc­tion
and starts on her writing career
with the publication of "I Lived this
Story" in the June College Humor.
She joins the discoveries made by this
magazine of such authors as Kather-ine
Brush, James Warner Bellah, Eric
Hatch and other of the newer school.
It has been truthfully remarked that
the Campus Novel Contest, limiting
itself to college people, seems fairer
than most contests. There is really
a chance for the new writer—no pro­fessional
author may compete.
Rules for the 1930 College Humor-
Doubleday, Doran Campus Novel Con­test
differ slightly from those of the
contest just concluded, but the prize
remains the same—$3,000 for the best
novel submitted by an undergraduate
enrolled in an American or Canadian
university, or a graduate of not more
than one year. Whereas formerly the
campus novel was limited in scene to
a college background, the 1930 Cam­pus
Prize Novel may be placed in any
modern environment and be woven
around any set of characters. The

PROHIBITION DANGERS
TO COLLEGE MEN TOLD
IN NEW COLLEGE HUMOR
Hank Bovie, Former Princeton
Proctor Says Thousand Duties
Fell Upon His Shoulders
"The College proctor is a combina­tion
of Philo Vance, policeman, big
brother and disciplinarian," says
Hank Bovie, former proctor of Prince­ton,
in an interview granted James
M. Neville in the June issue of Col­lege
Humor." A thousand duties fall
upon his shoulders, which go all the
way from keeping star athletes in
college, chasing loose women out of
town and watching for bootleggers
with rotten liquor.
"Prohibition might be a blessing for
somebody in this land but is has prov­ed
the undoing of many a fine under^
graduate who, in pre-Volstead days,
took his glass of beer with convival
spirits.in the Nassau Inn or sat around
a keg down by the lake on a spring
evening. Now the undergraduate is
compelled to do his drinking out of
town, in night clubs and speakeasies.
And this causes no end of truble for
the proctor, for women are usually
tied up with the liquor in such places.
"One of these women who hang
around night clubs managed to get
the addresses of boys at Yale, Har­vard
and Princeton. I met her while
she was making the rounds of the col­leges.
Like the average young girl
seen on the campus, this young wo­man
from a New York night club
possessed unusual charm and carried
herself with the poise and carriage of
the common variety of prom-trotters.
I was taken in myself until she asked
me if I knew where Archie Blair
roomed. There was the give-away.
Every college must have such names
as Archie Blair (on the campus we
have Blair Arch.) In my travels to
metropolitan centers around big game
time, I once observed Archie Blair
on a hotel register and have since
seen his name many times.
"Now, it is a tough thing to con­vince
a pretty girl that she's under
suspicion or arrest. Once inside my
office, she casually asked me for a
match, opening her bag and taking
out a package of cigarettes. As she
attepted to close it, I grabbed the bag.
In it I found four watches, three wal­lets
containing money and jewelry of
every description, from club pins to a
big blue diamond ring. With the dope
on her, the girl broke down and told
everything.
"She had formed the acquaintance
of many college boys in speakeasies
and found them such suckers that she
made them her racket. She showed
me a note book filled with names and
addresses of some very prominent men
today. Only a few were wise enough
to give her aliases, such as Dr. John­son,
Hank Bovie, John G. Hibben,
William Shakespeare, Mr. Boswell,
Patrick Henry, John Brown, Robert
Emmett, Mr. McCosh and Archie's
brother, Hall Blair/
"Another woman had a good rack­et.
She lived in Trenton and made it
a point to hang out near a notorious
speakeasy frequented on the quiet by
students. She always met them com­ing
out, when they were in the highest
state of inebriation and everything in
skirts looked like Greta Garbo. She
was under instructions from her hus­band,
who drove a taxi. The trick
was to get the intoxicated student in­to
the taxi and drive him back to the
campus. Enroutfe the woman relieved
him of all valuables."
sum of $3,000 is for the right to se­rialize
the story in College Humor
and to publish it in book form. Mo­tion
picture and dramatic rights will
remain with the author. Both the
book and the magazine publishers re­serve
the right to publish in book or
serial form, according to the usual
terms, any of the novels submitted in
the contest. The contest will close at
midnight, October fifteenth, 1930.
Typed manuscripts of not less than
70,000 words should be sent with re­turn
postages to the Campus Prize
Novel Contest, College Humor, 1050
North La Salle Street, Chicago, Illi­nois,
or to the Campus Prize Novel
Contest, Doubleday, Doran and Com­pany,
Inc., Garden City, New York.
The judges will be the editors of
Doubleday, Doran and College Humor,
and the prize winner will be announc­ed
Sometime after the first of Jan-uray,
1931.

Census Bureau Faces
Problem Of Bigamy
Danville, Va.—(IP)—The Census
publicity bureau, if there is such, made
its much ado before the 1930 census
about its absolute regard for the con­fidential
nature of any matter which
was to be obtained by census enumera­tors.
They couldn't collect taxes from the
answers you gave the census, we were
told.
Now the Census Bureau faces a new
one, and they don't know what to do.
A negro near here, when asked
about his property, said he had an­other
farm.
"Where is it," he was asked.
"Down the road, my other wife lives
on it," he answered.
Whether the census bureau can turn
the negro over to the state authori­ties
as a bigamist, is not known.
MOVE IS HADE FOR
BETTER LIBRARIES
Plans For Improvement' to Be
Discussed at Meeting
In Montgomery
A special one-day meeting of the
Alabama Library Association, to be
held Monday at Woman's College,
Montgomery, has been called by the
president, Miss Mary E. Martin, libra­rian
at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute.
The meeting is being called to dis­cuss
the library situation in Alabama
and to plan for improvements, accord­ing
to Miss Fannie T. Taber, field
worker, of Montgomery.
"The country people have as great
a need for books as people of the
towns, and in many states book serv­ice
comes to the door as regularly as
the postman brings his mail," Miss
Taber says.
"Book trucks and trained librarians
go over all the roads and read all
the people. Alabama is far behind in
such development. As books for stu­dents,
for recreation and for business
are a necessity for all kinds of people,
other groups besides librarians are in­terested
in this meeting.
"The federated clubs, home demon­stration
agents, college alumni, farm
agents and others are trying to form
a program for library improvement.
They hope at this meeting to perfect
DR. HUTCHINS BRINGS
PRESS TO TASK FOR
FAILURE IN REPORTS
Chicago University President
Thinks U. S. Hasn't Quite
Enough Real Thinkers
Washington—(IP)—The American
Press was taken to task for its "fail­ure"
to properly report the doings of
the educational world, by Dr. Robert
M. Hutchins, youthful president of
the University of Chicago, who ad­dressed
the American Society of News­paper
editors here recently.
His remarks were quickly answered
by Walter M. Harrison, president of
the Society, but Dr. Hutchins had
left the hall and did not hear the re­ply.
Hutchins told the editors that the
country was suffering from overpro­duction
of every commodity except
brains and that if only people who
actually think subscribed to newspa­pers
there sale would be exceedingly
limited. He said that while news­papers
are devoting more space to
educational subjects, that it was not
enough.
Harrison, in his rebuttal, said that
Hutchins had apparently spoken in
ignorance of what the newspapers ac­tually
are doing in giving publicity
to education.
Alabama Agent Wins
Timber Judging Prize
Montgomery, Ala.—Out of a total
of thirty-four contestants, R. E.
Thorn'of Franklin County, an Agent
of the Alabama State Commission
of Forestry, won second prize in the
timber estimating contest held by the
Southern Forestry Congress at Mem­phis,
Tenn., on April 12.
Six prizes were offered, the first
being awarded John S. Hurd of Mem­phis;
second, R. E. Thorn; third, S.
A. Frazier, Fayette, Ala.; fourth, K.
L. Emmon, Memphis; fifth, H. H.
Chapman, Professor of Forestry,
Yale University; sixth, C. H. Guise,
Professor of Forestry, Cornell Uni­versity.
. The honors were thus di­vided
between Alabama, Tennessee
and the forestry schools, each group
having two prize winners.
Amos-Andy Addresses
Dead To Post Office
Washington—(IP)—Henceforth if
you want to send a letter to Amos
and Andy, you won't draw a picture
of two black faced men on an en­velope,
and expect it to reach it's desti­nation.
You may try it, but the letter will
end up in the dead letter office, and
Amos 'n Andy's secretary- never will
see it.
The Post Office department has
commanded all postmasters to refrain
from attempting to decipher freak ad­dresses,
and accept only addresses
plainly written in the usual form. .
EDITOR OF ST. PAUL
DISPATCH ATTACKS
JOURNALISM SCHOOLS
Says That Only Twenty Grad­uates
of Schools Make
Good
a library commission bill to be pro­posed
at the next legislature for in­creasing
and developing the library
facilities of Alabama."
Washington —(IP)— Schools of
Journalism were attacked as almost
failures by Sam M. Williams, editor
of the St. Paul Dispatch, and the
St. Paul Pioneer Press here recently
in an address before the annual
meeting of the Aemrican Society of
Newspaper Editors.
"The schools of journalism them­selves
are remiss," he said, "for the
unsatisfactory product that is being
foisted upon the newspapers. We
have found that many of the grad­uates
of the schools of journalism
have selected that way as the easier
course in getting through college and
in our own offices we have found
that only one out of twenty grad­uates
of the schools make good."
I would be much interested in hav­ing
the Senator from Utah tell me the
difference between heaven and hell.—
Sen. James Couzens, of Michigan.
PAUL WHITEMAN SOON
COMPLETES BROADCASTS
OF "OLD GOLF HOUR
Fairwell Concert Will Be Play­ed
by Orchestra on Tues­day,
May 6th
Radio listeners throughout the Unit­ed
States will receive with genuine
regret the announcement that Paul
Whiteman and his band are nearing
the end of their broadcasting engage­ments.
The Whiteman-Old Gold orchestra,
which for the past year and a half
has been one of the stellar attractions
over the Columbia network, will play
its concluding concert on the night of
Tuesday, May 16th. The feature of
the farewell program will be the ren­dition
of "The Stein Song," the melody
dearest to the hearts of the students
and alumni of the University of
Maine. This will be the first time
this famous old number has ever been
included on the Whiteman-Old Gold
program, and it is also perhaps the
first time the old college song has been
presented by an orchestra of the pro­portions
of the Whiteman group.
"The Stein Song" was included on
the program of the concluding White­man-
Old Gold broadcast in response
to the numerous requests for its pre­sentation
throughout the country. In
an effort to furnish just the numbers
for which the radio fans had express­ed
a preference, Mr. Whiteman readily
consented to include the melody in his
Old Gold'package of favorites. He
has personally prepared a special ar­rangement
of the number, designed to
accentuate every note of the lilting
melody and to stress the infectuous
swing of the famous old tune which
for so many years has inspired and
thrilled the University of Main stu­dents
and the old grads as well.
Mr. Whiteman's closing program
will be broadcast over WABC and the
Columbia system.

Sale of Water Works
To Net City $100,000
Townspeople Must Affirm Disposi­tion
of Plant
At the special meting of the City
Council called last night at the City
hall, it was voted to sell the city
water works to the Alabama Power
Company for '$100,000.00.
Before the sale can be completed
a vote must be taken from the towns­people
for approval of this sale. This
sum will be entirely profit, and will
be spent on building a new grammar
school and a new modern up-to-date
city hall, containing a council room,
city clerk's office, jail and fire hall.
Councilmen gave as their reason
for approving the sale, Auburn's need
of municipal improvements and this
being the only apparent means of
raising funds, the plan was accepted.

BUILDINGS
in Which
You Take Pride
\^)N THE CAMPUS, where class buildings
and memorial structures are so often
distinguished by their noble form, flood­lighting
equipment serves to prolong the
enjoyment of their beauty and to enhance
pride in the institution. » » Such an
application is made for the new ^65-foot
campanile at South Dakota State — mag­nificent
gift of an alumnus. Electrically
operated chimes sound the hours and
are heard in concerts. At night, shafts of
light from General Electric floodlighting projectors effect a picture of superb beauty
done in the school colors and white. From the air, the tower is identified by the
beam from a G-E airway beacon surmounting the floodlighted dome. » » Thus,
G-E equipment plays its part in promoting progress and fine appreciation. Back of
every G-E product is an organization in which college-trained men are largely
responsible for the planning, production, and distribution.
