T!" "A" CLUB DANCE TONIGHT THE PLAINSMAN T O F O S T E R T H E A U B U R N S P I R IT "A" CLUB DANCE TONIGHT hm VOLUME LIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1930 NUMBER 57 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.

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. TO HOLD "A" CLUB DANCE TONIGHT Tonight will witness the last "A" Club dance of the year. It will be held in the gymnasium, as usual, at nine o'clock. The Auburn Collegians will furnish the dance music, and the "A" Club members urge all students to attend in order to make this the best "A" Club dance of the year. Prexy To Speak At Four Commencements Fort Payne, Andalusia, Atmore, and Eufaula High Schools Elec. Eng. Dept. Gets Welding Equipment Apparatus Is Acquired from General Electric Company Dr. Bradford Knapp has accepted Spades Society Elects Juniors To Membership 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. Tourney Will Be Held On Tiny Tiger Links 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.

They are Fort Payne, May 6, Andalusia, May 26, Atmore, May 27, and Eufaula, June 2. Be, cause of pressing business matters Dr. Knapp was forced to decline a large number of invitations to speak to high school students and also to college students on the occasion of their graduations. On May 22 he will address the Alabama Bankers Association at their annual convention in Birmingham. He is to speak in Alexander City at Mother's Day exercises on May 11. On May IB he will speak at a special flag raising exercise at the military academy at Greensboro. burn took place this week when G. 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. Thomas, chairman; Roger Allen, A. D. Burke, Captain E. S. Ott, and Reverend Bruce McGehee. Ernest Bell Chosen "A" Club President Burt, Robinson, Are Vice-President And Secretary-Treasurer, Respectively Election of "A" club officers to serve for the 1930-1931 term resulted in the choosing of E. A. Bell, captain of the 1930 track squad, as president of the organization. Joe Burt, alternate captain of the 1930 baseball team and football let-terman, was elected vice-president. Sam Robinson, who hurls the javelin on the track team, was elected secretary- treasurer. All of the newly-elected officers will graduate with the class of 1931. Cadets of the R. O. T. C. Unit, and enlisted men of the regular army stationed here participated in a spectacular horse show Thursday. Jumping', Roman riding, and rescue races were featured.

Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. 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.— Purdue Exponent. 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. * * * * Word from Chet Wynne indicates that he will be here either Saturday night or Sunday. He is coming through by automobile and will be ready for work Monday morning. Look out for notice of Convocation. There may be one Monday. * * * * 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. H AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « We understand that the path is growing up in weeds between the Sigma Nu house and the old stove hidden in Ag Bottom, maybe the contents of the stove have been diminsihed—Who knows? * * * * * * * * * 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. * * * * * * * * * Upon commenting upon last week's issue of the "Foot Prints", J. Lovelace said the truth is what hurts—Well, he is honest anyway; however, we did hear that he sold his interest in thei picture show for personal reasons. * * * *^ * * * * * We wonder what we poor suffers will do if John gets any more of these Western steaks? Probably they walked all the way from the west, or perchance they cooked the saddle by mfstake. * * * * * * * * * It seems that two Auburn boys had a bit of trouble rushing out of a state room on the Pan returning from Birmingham a few weeks ago—probably it was the wrong one, since they failed to venture near again. <. * * * * * * * * * It is a pity that White Matthews can't get some kind of reduced rates to Birmingham each week-end. This might help the young man get in a trip during the week, and what would the fair young lady think of this suggestion, if it might be carried out? * * * * * * * * * It is rumored that George Morton sleeps all day that he might keep the other gallant fireman awake all night, and it is also rumored that these gallant firemen have placed an order for a modern up-to-date coffin, * * * * * * * * * We find that the Student Cops are progressing rather rapidly since officer Nixon has acquired a motorcycle. He has actually learned to ride too. The other night a certain professor called the city hall to report a stray mule. Officer Nixon left immediately on his motorcycle to carry the poor animal to the city pound; however, the mule refused to accompany Nixon and Officer Early was forced to call for the mule. The mule is like the police force. -:- WITH OTHER COLLEGES * After she's fifteen, a father is as helpless in handling his daughter as in man-again her mother. A sensible person is anyone who agrees with us. No one ever forgets anything he really wants to remember. 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 ambitious student practicing after hours. When the concert was repeated the third night, they decided to call the police. * * * * Two Turkish workmen, while digging in the ruins of a Gyzantine monastary, turned up a mass of gold coins. Unfortunately their quarrel over the spoils brought police who sent the money to the Turkish museum at Istanbul. The coins number 207 and date from the time of Phillip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. And the song was ended. * * * * 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. WELL, I'D SAY THIS *23y (Aaron ^Bilbluheel EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed 13 this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial Dolicy. * * * * 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.

Height 6 feet, 1-8 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.

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.

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. r. 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 h. 0 0 4 0 1 0 1 2 1 po. 3 3 2 0 1 5 11 2 0 a. 4 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 6 e. 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 1 1 bouncing off Lagano's ankle and rolling to left field.

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. AUBURN— ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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, Lewis quite capably entertained one foursome with his excellent recitation of the "Great Day in Rome". The initiation of the neophytes into the Kappa Dappa is the Auburn baseball fraterriity which was organized in 1926 to further Auburn's baseball team socially as well as in the art of winning ball games.

Free The Tiger tracksters have upset 'the dope bucket this year and it now looks as if the team will come up to the standard set by Coach Hut-sell. Out of three meets, two have been won by a large majority and in the other the Orange and Blue carried off quite a few honors. The first meet in which Auburn was entered this year was the Tech relays in Atlanta. In this meet Coleman was in his usual form and grabbed first place in the discus. Garland, Beard also placed in this event, securing third place. In the pole vault the Tigers placed second, Hughes being the performer. Sam Robinson hurled the javelin for third Many Appea Versatile Athletes r In Frosh Class By Elmer G. Salter Probably the largest group of versatile athletes ever to enroll at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute matriculated with the class of 1933. The freshmen football team was one of the best seen here in several year's. After forsaking the gridiron, several numeral wearers in football were regulars on the plebe cage five, and now Coach Earl Mc- Faden, who has made an impressive record at the Cornerstone his first year in the capacity of frosh coach, has eight regulars on his rodent diamond team who were members of the gridiron eleven last season. Porter Grant and Sam Mason, ends; Ike Parker, quarterback; Julian Bas-sett, Jimmie Hitchcock and George Jenkins, halfbacks; W. D.

Niggar Lewis again was the main attraction. place and the Tigers also secured third place in the Sprint Medley Relay. 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 second place honors. The broad jump was won by Bennett and Stuart tied for first place in the high jump. Stacey placed third in this event. The Tigers placed three times in the quarter mile and Roberts placed third in the two mile. Joe Hughes 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. meet. Their score was 48 and Georgia their nearest competitor had 37. Coleman beat the shot put record by one inch with a put of 43 feet, 6 3-4 inches. Hood had set the old record. Auburn showed a well-balanced team in this meet and placed in all events except the one mile and pole vault. Two places were secured in the discus, 100 yard and high jump. First and second places in the 100 were won by Chamblee and O'Hara. O'Hara also j>laced second in the 220. Capt. Bell won the 440 and Bottoms placed second in the 440 hurdles. Robinson was second in the javelin and Burnett placed second in the broad jump. Another second place was won by Auburn, the two mile, by Roberts. Stewart an d Burnett placed third and fourth 'in the high jump. This meet was held at night, it being the first night track meet in the South. Totals 35 3 12 24 8 3 FLORIDA— ab.'rr h. po. a. e.

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.' e a good orbit." A study of the plates revealed each had recorded a movement of the object, showing it was not a fixed star. State Can't Follow Mob Wishes, Hoover New Haven—(IP)—In an interview with the Yale Daily News, President Hoover said that Democracy must breed its own leaders if it is to maintain its authority in morals, religion, and statesmanship. Popular desires, the President said, are no criteria for the real need. They can be determined only by deliberate consideration by education, by constructive leadership, the President declared. NOVEL CONTEST TO BE MADEANNUALEVENTBY MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS Betty White, Northwestern Co- Ed, Awarded $3,000 Prize by College Humor Toledo, O.—(IP)—A unique burial 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. TO HOLD "A" CLUB DANCE TONIGHT Tonight will witness the last "A" Club dance of the year. It will be held in the gymnasium, as usual, at nine o'clock. The Auburn Collegians will furnish the dance music, and the "A" Club members urge all students to attend in order to make this the best "A" Club dance of the year. Prexy To Speak At Four Commencements Fort Payne, Andalusia, Atmore, and Eufaula High Schools Elec. Eng. Dept. Gets Welding Equipment Apparatus Is Acquired from General Electric Company Dr. Bradford Knapp has accepted Spades Society Elects Juniors To Membership 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. Tourney Will Be Held On Tiny Tiger Links 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.

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. Thomas, chairman; Roger Allen, A. D. Burke, Captain E. S. Ott, and Reverend Bruce McGehee.

Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. 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.— Purdue Exponent. 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. * * * * Word from Chet Wynne indicates that he will be here either Saturday night or Sunday. He is coming through by automobile and will be ready for work Monday morning. Look out for notice of Convocation. There may be one Monday. * * * * 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.

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. * * * * * * * * * Upon commenting upon last week's issue of the "Foot Prints", J.

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.

And the song was ended. * * * * 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. WELL, I'D SAY THIS *23y (Aaron ^Bilbluheel EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed 13 this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial Dolicy. * * * * 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.

The guests were then conducted most graciously by Miss Mary Claude Fletcher into the dining room which was made most beautiful with pink carnations, yellow snapdragons, and tapers. The table was the center of attraction here because of its most exquisite lace cover and beautiful centerpiece. A delicious refreshment, strawberry mousse salad, was served by Misses Helen Hester, Vivian Waters, Dorothy Reynolds, and Birda Wood. Misses Gatchell and Elizabeth Ful-lan then carried the guests to the drawing room where an apricot ice was served by Mrs. Williaans. About two hundred guests were invited. Mrs. J. W. Tidmore and Mrs. W. W. Hill entertained with a four course supper for the members of the Baptist Choir on Saturday at the home of Mrs. W. W. Hill on Gay Street.

An informal reception followed during which the new pledges received congratulations. The Lamps Honor Sorority is a local organization of long standing on the Auburn campus. Each year the sorority selects five girls from the junior class for membership, basing selection on these specific qualifications: Loyalty, ability, magnanimity, personality, and scholarship. The general qualification of activity in 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 now on the campus are Misses Zoe Dobbs, Lysbeth Fullan, Eloise Floyd, Maryline Cauthen, Lottie Collins, and Mrs. Alice W. Sandlin.

Height 6 feet, 1-8 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 Highlights On The Florida-Auburn Series Played in Panama City, Fla.

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.

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. r. 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 h. 0 0 4 0 1 0 1 2 1 po. 3 3 2 0 1 5 11 2 0 a. 4 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 6 e. 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 1 1 bouncing off Lagano's ankle and rolling to left field.

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. AUBURN— ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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, Lewis quite capably entertained one foursome with his excellent recitation of the "Great Day in Rome".

Free The Tiger tracksters have upset 'the dope bucket this year and it now looks as if the team will come up to the standard set by Coach Hut-sell. Out of three meets, two have been won by a large majority and in the other the Orange and Blue carried off quite a few honors. The first meet in which Auburn was entered this year was the Tech relays in Atlanta. In this meet Coleman was in his usual form and grabbed first place in the discus. Garland, Beard also placed in this event, securing third place. In the pole vault the Tigers placed second, Hughes being the performer. Sam Robinson hurled the javelin for third Many Appea Versatile Athletes r In Frosh Class By Elmer G. Salter Probably the largest group of versatile athletes ever to enroll at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute matriculated with the class of 1933. The freshmen football team was one of the best seen here in several year's. After forsaking the gridiron, several numeral wearers in football were regulars on the plebe cage five, and now Coach Earl Mc- Faden, who has made an impressive record at the Cornerstone his first year in the capacity of frosh coach, has eight regulars on his rodent diamond team who were members of the gridiron eleven last season.

Niggar Lewis again was the main attraction. place and the Tigers also secured third place in the Sprint Medley Relay. 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 second place honors. The broad jump was won by Bennett and Stuart tied for first place in the high jump. Stacey placed third in this event. The Tigers placed three times in the quarter mile and Roberts placed third in the two mile. Joe Hughes 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. meet. Their score was 48 and Georgia their nearest competitor had 37. Coleman beat the shot put record by one inch with a put of 43 feet, 6 3-4 inches. Hood had set the old record. Auburn showed a well-balanced team in this meet and placed in all events except the one mile and pole vault. Two places were secured in the discus, 100 yard and high jump. First and second places in the 100 were won by Chamblee and O'Hara. O'Hara also j>laced second in the 220. Capt. Bell won the 440 and Bottoms placed second in the 440 hurdles. Robinson was second in the javelin and Burnett placed second in the broad jump. Another second place was won by Auburn, the two mile, by Roberts. Stewart an d Burnett placed third and fourth 'in the high jump. This meet was held at night, it being the first night track meet in the South. Totals 35 3 12 24 8 3 FLORIDA— ab.'rr h. po. a. e.

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.' e a good orbit." A study of the plates revealed each had recorded a movement of the object, showing it was not a fixed star. State Can't Follow Mob Wishes, Hoover New Haven—(IP)—In an interview with the Yale Daily News, President Hoover said that Democracy must breed its own leaders if it is to maintain its authority in morals, religion, and statesmanship. Popular desires, the President said, are no criteria for the real need. They can be determined only by deliberate consideration by education, by constructive leadership, the President declared. NOVEL CONTEST TO BE MADEANNUALEVENTBY MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS Betty White, Northwestern Co- Ed, Awarded $3,000 Prize by College Humor Toledo, O.—(IP)—A unique burial 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Light is the first of painters. — EMERSON 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.
