Abilities
The point system committee of the
Executive Cabinet has completed an
assignment of points for the honors,
offices, and other positions of import­ance
held by students on the campus.
In this rating schedule all extra-cur­ricula
activities, including member­ship
in honor societies as well as stu­dent
offices, have been divided into
seven classes, each class being as­signed
a certain number of points.
The maximum number of points
which any student will be allowed to
carry is 100.
According to a statement by Becker
Drane, secretary of the Cabinet, the
ratings of the various activities as
listed below are only tentative. How
ever, they will go into effect imme
diately following the coming Junior
Class election. Until that time, the
secretary announced, the Cabinet will
welcome any and all suggestions per
tinent to a change in the assignment
of points, pursuant to a more work
able and efficient system.

To assist the Plainsman Staff stu­dents
in news writing and feature
writing, journalism classes under the
supervision of Prof. Gene Shuford
are directing their efforts toward de­veloping
more original and interest­ing
news, and feature writings of a
greater variety for the college paper
in their practical laboratory work on
Monday night's from seven to nine.
This news lab was inaugurated this
semester, the first time that news
writing classes at Auburn have work­ed
directly in conjunction with the
staff of the college sheet. The lab
is supervised by the instructor with
the assistance of the managing editor
and the news editors of the Plains­man.
The Plainsman articles are written
and edited in the lab room, the copy
being criticized in the presence of the
writers and suggestions for improve­ment
being made. Through the cour­tesy
of the Department of Public In­formation
work is being conducted in
the publicity office this semester with
the hope that in the future an ade­quate
news laboratory with desks and
typewriters will be "provided.
With staff membership extended to
members of the two journalism clas­ses
(204 and 404) the roster of the
Plainsman staff is expanded to 35
members. Approximately 60 students
have registered for each semester of
journalism this year. Work of the
feature writing class has hitherto
been featured several times in the
Auburn Alumnus and in the Plains­man
this year.
Lab work in'news writing this se­mester
will include both news writ­ing
and news editing, the latter in­cluding
copy reading, headline writ­ing,
make-up, and proof reading.

Electric Co. Manager
Interviews Students
Mr. H. E. Cox, assistant General
Manager of the Birmingham Electric
Company, was in Auburn Friday and
Saturday to interview prospective
graduates of the electrical engineer­ing
department. He expects to take
into the service of his company six
or more of this year's graduates.
Mr. Cox graduates in the electrical
engineering course at Auburn in 1909
and upon graduation entered the ser­vice
of the General Electric Company
at Schenectady, New York. In May,
1911, he became night operator of the
old steam station of the Birmingham
Electric Company, holding this posi­tion
until April, 1912, when he was
transferred to the Engineering De­partment
of the company. In Jan­uary,
1923, he became chief engineer
of the company, and in October, 1925,
he was promoted to the position of
assistant general manager, which he
now holds... His career has been one
of rapid promotion, and is an inspi­ration
to all of the electrical engi­neering
students at Auburn. Mr.
Cox is |an active and enthusiastic
member of the Delta Sigma Phi fra­ternity,
and has taken a very active
part in the building of the chapter
house owned by this fraternity.

by Sam Brewster, landscape archi­tect
of the extension service of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Ac­cording
to Mr. Brewster, the party
will leave New York on July 16, and
will arrive one week later in South­ampton,
England.
Thereafter, the tourists will take
an extensive 15-day trip throughout
England, and on August 2, they will
embark at Dover, whence they will
sail': to Brussels. A one-day tour
through Belgium and a two-day sight­seeing
trip through Holland will be
next on the schedule. From Amster­dam
they will go to Cologne, France,
where they will spend two days, tak­ing
a motor trip over the city and a
short trip up the Rhine River. Aug­ust
9 and 10, the party will spend in
Munich. Thence they will go to

Auburn Graduate Wins
Architectural Award
Robert K. Posey Receives A Second
Medal From Beaux Art Institute
Robert Kelly .Posey, graduate of the
school of architecture of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, has recently
been awarded a second medal for a
design in a competition held by Beaux
Arts Institute. This high honor re­flects
most favorably'upon the stand
ards maintained in the school of ar
chitecture here.
Graduating in '26, Posey left a most
enviable record. He is the only man
who has taken both the architecture
and architectural engineering courses
at Auburn. In his senior year he
was the recipient of a medal given
by the American Institute of Archi­tecture
for "excellence in all branches
of wcjrk." After graduating with
honors, Posey went to Birmingham
where he entered the office of a prom­inent
architect. Thence he went to
New York to work.
In New York his excellence of de­sign
and his marked ability were
recognized by the Beaux Arts Insti­tute
and he was allowed to enter the
Atelier Hirons of the Institute.
New Inter-Fraternity
Golf Meet Soon
Date For Tournament Has Not Yet
Been Decided Upon
Two members of this year's grad­uating
class, Paul Brake and William
Keister, have received appointments
to the laboratory of the Bell Tele­phone
Companies in New York. These
are very desirable positions, carrying
gpod salaries, and it is considered an
honor for a student to receive one of
them.
These young men will be engaged
in research in the field of "Communi­cations."
For a number of years both
students have been interested in ra­dio
work, and have been conducting
experiments along this line. Their
appointment to the Bell laboratory
will give them excellent opportuni­ties
to continue their work under the
most favorable conditions.
Interfraternity golf teams begin the
race for honors in Auburn's second
interfraternity golf tournament with­in
the next month, according to mem­bers
of the committee in charge. Wil­liam
Jones, Sigma Nu, has been elec­ted
president of the tournament, and
a committee composed of Spencer
Noble, Phi Delta Theta, Walter Clin-go,
Kappa Alpha, and William Sugg,
Sigma Phi Epsilon, has been appoint­ed
to draw up the rules of the tourna­ment
and set the date. A loving cup
similar to the one given last year
will be awarded the winner.
The 'committee plans to set the
date for the near future so that men
showing up well in the tournament
may be selected and urged to try out
for Auburn's golf team this spring.
Several fraternities are reported to
have strong teams this year. Among
them are Phi Delta Theta, winner of
last year's tournament, K. A. and
Sigma Nu. All fraternities are urged
to enter a team so es to make the
tournament as large as possible.
Playing in seven parades, six con­certs,
and the coronation of the queen
the Auburn Band will furnish the
Carnival revelers of Mobile music of
the quality for which it is famous,
when it plays for the festivities in
the Gulf City beginning Friday, Feb.
28, and lasting days. The crowds
that assemble there for the annual
merry-making event yearly proclaim
the Auburn Band one of the best
bands of its kind in the entire South.'
In the Mobile Carnival Associa­tion's
selection of the best bands
available it has for many years given
the Auburn Band a prominent posi­tion,
choosing it as the king's band
and giving it one of the most out­standing
positions in each of the
parades. The band members are in­vited
to many of the social functions
during the season of frivolity.
The band will leave Auburn Fri­day,
Feb. 28, on the 9:15 train and
will arrive in Mobile at 4:10 p. m.
The Carnival celebration will begin
that night with the Krewe of Colum­bus
parade at 7 p. m. and will con
tinue throughout the entire period
of parades, concerts, balls, regettas,
airplane maneuvers and exhibition
parachute jumping, and public inspec­tion
of government battleships and
cruisers.
The entire business district of the
Gulf City will be decorated with gay-
Iy colored streamers and banners
Confetti and serpentine throwing will
be encouraged by the -carnival asso
ciation if the permission of the city
officials may be obtained.
The Auburn band was the first
band to be engaged for the festive
season by the Mobile Carnival Asso­ciation.
An article in the Mobile
Register of Feb. 3 .concerning band
engagements read thus:
"John D. Logan, secretary of the
Mobile Carnival Association, said 16
bands have written to the music com
mittee requesting permission to come
to the city during the festive season
and the Auburn band, which has
visited Mobile eve*y season for a
number of years, has been definitely
engaged for the parades."
Since that date other bands have
been engaged, including a band from
the Alabama Military Institute.
The Mobile Carnival Association is
striving to make this, the centennial
celebration of Mobile's Madri Gras,
one of the most attractive and joyous
festivals that has ever been conduct­ed
in the Gulf City. The quaint old
Vienville Square, bedecked with ban­ners
and luminated at night by thous­ands
of gayly colored lights hung
from the trees and on the large foun­tain
in the center of the plaza, will
hold its ancient charm. It is in band­stand
of this plaza that the band will
render the concert's to the audiences
sitting on benches under the trees.
From this position the members of
the audience may watch the masked
revelers parading around the square
as the French did in the days when
they occupied that city."

V i c t o r y Over Roanoke High
School Is Third Victory
For Rats
Opening slow, the Auburn Baby
Cagesters defeated Hanley High, Roa­noke,
27-16, at the Gymnasium Tues­day
night.
Led by Mason and Jenkins, the
Tiger Cubs ended the first half lead­ing
11-9. Captain Stevenson and
Cumbee were outstanding with the
visitors. Neither team succeeded in
hitting their stride during the first
two periods, and the play was very
slow. When the game was resumed
in the second half, both teams showed
new life, and the freshmen piled up
a good lead. A rally by Hanley, late
in the fourth period, fell short.
This is the third victory for the
Rats this year, and they are sched­uled
to meet the Tech freshmen in
the near future.

FIRE DEPARTMENT ENJOYS RIDE
BEFORE IOC A TING FIRE TO FIGHT
"My house is on fire! West Mag­nolia
Street. Please hurry!" It
was a lady's voice—and it didn't
Come from the west extreme of
Magnolia Street, as the fire de­partment
soon discovered. A false
alarm, they termed it, and went
for a pleasure ride.
Way down on East Magnolia
street the firemen saw smoke. The
siren wheezed. With fully half
of the student body trailing it, the
fire machine dashed madly into
the back yard of the Phi Kappa
Delta hpuse. A hundred yards be­hind
the house they discovered a
small brush fire, blazing only un­der
difficulty. The police force
arrived. And the townspeople. The
Phi Kappa Delta boys were thrown
out of bed by the pandemonium on
their property. Disappointed that
their house was not on fire, they
returned to "their funny papers.
Who turned in the alarm? The
dear old lady who beckoned des­perately
for the crowds to hurry
themselves and save her home.
Spring Grid Practice
Is Under Way; Forty
Report To McFaden
Blocking and T a c k l i n g to Be
Stressed During Spring
P r e p a r a t i on
After an absence of two months,
King Football has again ascended his
throne at the Cornerstone. Spring
football, with close "to 40 reporting
daily, is being conducted by Coach
Earl McFaden. Forty-six were or­dered
out by Coach McFaden but sev­eral
are on the cage team, and others
are out for baseball and track.
McFaden is only stressing funda­mentals
during the Spring grind,
especially blocking and tackling. Line
scrimmage has already been given the
aspirants to positions on the 1930
Plainsmen eleven.
Much stress is also being laid on
developing a capable punter who can
boot the pigskin far and high, at
least one who can kick spirals which
will compare with the average punt­ers.
The Tigers have had several
punters during the past few seasons
but no Shirey's, Green's or Howe's
have been discovered in the Bengals
lair who could be depended upon to
kick out of danger when the occasion
arose.
Eight letter men will be absent
when the candidates report next Sep­tember.
Howell Long, versatile lead­er
last season, who played every po­sition
on the team; Porter Callahan,
halfback; Grady Long, guard and
tackle; Jim Crawford, halfback;
Stumpy Granger, fullback; Herman
Jones, quarterback; John Wilson,
tackle and end, and Forney Yar-brough,
fullback and end are the "A"
men who will not answer the call of
the gridiron next Fall.
While eight letter wearers will be
missing, at least 14 are expected to
return. Captain-elect Harkins, who
received several mentions for All-
Southern center last year, heads the
list which includes several players
who have shown potential ability at
times. Carl Creel, end and tackle; J.
D. Bush, guard and tackle; Carl
Schlich, guard; (George Egge and
Louis McRee, ends; Alternate Cap­tain
Erquiet Taylor and Ben Newton,
200 pound tackles; Chattie Davidson,
quarterback; Lindley Hatfield and
Leo Young, halfbacks; Howard Chap-pelle,
fullback and end; George Hold-croft,
guard and tackle and Joe Burt,
guard are the veterans expected to
return.
A. W. Herren, Louis and Horace
Jacobs, Billie Hill, Willie Roe Tamp-lin,
Ray Prim, Dave Mosley, J. D.
Simpkins, Richard Wible, Melford
Spider, Felix Creighton, Robin Bote-ler,-
J. A. Locker and William Sindo
served as capable reserves last season
and all will be eligible next Fall. With
the experience gained in receiving the
battering and knocks that the varsi­ty
gave, they should be much better
next season and be strong contenders
for regular positions.

Elects New Officers
P. S. Alsobrook Chosen President;
Debating Team to Be Formed
From Ag Hill comes the announce­ment
of the election of officers of the
Ag club for the year 1930. The fol­lowing
men were selected to lead the
active body of Ag students: P. H.
Alsobrook, president; F. N. Farring-ton,
vice-president; W. B. Story, sec­retary;
J. M. Henderson, treasurer;
Joe Girkhan, sergeant at arms; and
R. L. Lovvorn, critic.
The new president declared that
the major activity of the club for the
remainder of the second semester will
be the development of a debating team
to compete in the all-<:ollege debating
contest now being planned by Phi
Delta Gamma. John Carreker has
been selected chairman of the Ag
Club team. Already, it was stated,
debates have been arranged with the
ag clubs of the University of Geor­gia
and Mississippi A. and M. At
least one of these debates will be held
in Auburn.
College Gymnasium Will Be
Scene Of The Tourn­ament
Although a Cotton States Tourna­ment
will not be held this year, Au­burn
will be the scene of an even
bigger tourney of basketball, as con­cerns
the number of team scompleting
that of the 4th district of the basket­ball
association of Alabama. Coach
Hut'sell announced today that Auburn
will have as its guests over thirty
teams from the surrounding counties.
The executive committee of the 4th
district at a meeting last Saturday in
Camp Hill decided that Auburn
should be awarded the tourney. Va­rious
plans and suggestions were
adopted and schedules were drawn
up. The contest will be held the 21,
22, and 23 of February. From the
eight counties, Russell, Tallapoosa,
Lee, Macon, Elmore, Bullock, Cham­bers
and Coosa, which form the 4th
district, thirty-seven teams are elig­ible.
The winning team of the Auburn
tourney will go to the state finals in
Birmingham. This district has al­ways
shown up well in the finals and
there will be much interest in this
particular contest. v
Two fine teams will meet when
Goodwater plays Tallassee. This
game will be of especial interest to
the Auburn student body for the
coach of the Goodwater team is Ebb
James and the coach of the Tallassee
team is Frank DuBose.
Both of these men were members
of the famous Auburn five of 1928,
that which was barely nosed out of
the Southern Conference champion­ship
in the finals of the Atlanta tour­nament.
Ebb James captained the
baseball nine of 1928, and Frank Du­Bose
was captain of the 1929 cage­sters.
As the Cotton States Tournament
usually had about sixteen teams com­peting
and this district tourney has
abouty thirty it means that there will
be more games for the students to
enjoy. This tournament will be of
a more personal note for many Au-burnites
have had their Alma Maters
in the 4th district, and naturally they
will be on hand to cheer their friends.
Necessary housing accommodations
for. the various teams will be furn­ished
by the Blue Key Fraternity.
Further announcements concern­ing
the statistics and schedules of the
contestants will be made at a later
date.

Prominent Visitors
Praise Vet School
With the close of the annual short
course for graduate veterinarians offered
here last week, comes the realization that
Auburn's School of Veterinary Medicine,
ranks foremost in the South and most fa­vorably
with those schools in other parts
of the country. Dr. Thos. F. Ferguson of
Wisconsin in speaking of the short course
given here last week asserted that it was
the best in the nation in practical instruc­tion
and praised in high terms Auburn's
undergraduate course. This is a compli­ment
worthy of much consideration since
Dr. Ferguson is president of the American
Veterinary Medical Association and is
ranked as one of the leaders of his profes­sion.
Much praise is due to Dean Cary and the
veterinary department in offering this ex­cellent
short course which attracted so
many distinguished men to Auburn. Wis­consin,
Missouri, Indiana, Iowa and prac­tically
all the nearby states were repre­sented,
there being a total of fifty grad­uate
veterinarians from twelve states at­tending.
By having here these men, who
have risen high in their profession, the vet­erinary
department is given the opportuni­ty
to show the excellence of its course and
gain new recognition.
The graduate veterinarians are doing
much for humanity as a whole by their ef­forts
in the prevention of diseases of ani­mals
which are communicable to humans
and by their inspection of milk so as to
prevent its contamination. The School of
Veterinary Medicine is doing its part for
this cause by the constant improvement of
its courses which are already recognized as
the best in the South. Dean Cary and his
assistants are to be congratulated in the
excellence of their department which has
steadily grown and in the consequent na­tional
recognition of merit which it has re­ceived
lately.
Atlanta Editor Here
In Interest Of Poetry
The interest shown in Mr. Hartsock, the
young Atlanta editor and Poetry Society
of America winner, is a verification of
the importance that is being given to
poetry by the younger generation today.
His enthusiastic and sincere attitude here
did much to renew hope and give courage
to the young amateur poets of Auburn.
Beside being a composer and editor of
poetry and verse, Mr. Hartsock has made
a study of the opportunities for the would-be
poet, as well as the pitfalls to be avoid­ed.
Such interest points to Mr. Hartsock
as being a figure worthy of the attention
of our poetical students. His advocations
and criticisms are well founded, and no
doubt will be followed by the younger poets
—to their own success, as well as the de­velopment
of an entirely new classicism of
poetry in the South. A change from the
present mode is certain to come, and to Mr.
Hartsock will go much of the credit for
the development and new lease of life he is
promoting in poetry in the South.
Mr. Hartsock advocates college literary
magazines as the means of furthering the
interest in poetry. Many poetical minds
are unable to find an outlet for their
thoughts and receive no encouragement to
write verse, a condition that would be over­come
if magazines of a literary nature were
being published.
According to the young editor, enthusi­asm
is far from being dead in poetry, but
its very pulse could be greatly quickened
if it had the added strength of publications,
whereby the work of the young writers
could attract the attention of the poetry-loving
public.
Mr. Hartsock has distinguished himself
in his work in fostering the return to fa­vor
of poetry, while his name will stand at
the head the workers striving to bring the
beauty of poetry to the people of the South.
First Student Tour Formed
To Study Labor Movements
The rising power of labor and the con­tinuance
of the Communist Government in
Russia have led to the formation of the
first American student tour ^to study at
first hand these ventures, to be under the
direction of Dr. Harry W. Laidler, execu­tive
director of the League for Industrial
Democracy.
The various types of socialism as repre­sented
in the British Government, the
German cooperative movements, the muni­cipal
housing child welfare projects of Vi­enna,
and the revolutionary communism of
Russia will be examined and contrasted by
the party.
The study group is to be limited to fifteen
college students and professors, who will
sail from New York in June for an eight
weeks' tour that will carry them through
England, Finland, Germany, Russia, Aus­tria,
Switzerland and France.
According to the director of the tour, the
trip is being made to acquaint students with
the rising and important social movements
of the world. He adds that thousands view
Europe's past glories in art, literature, pol­itics,
and religion, utterly oblivious of the
social ideas and accomplishments of the
present day. The unmistakable trend in
Europe is toward a social order based on
production rather than use, and sooner or
later such a movement will be begun in the
United States.
Many of these students will be turned
against socialist labor movements after
studying it minutely, its origin, its purpose,
its methods, and its results, while many
will be thrilled with the thought of the
ideal solution of the world's greatest prob­lems
by labor, by the flaming lectures that
touch one's heart, and by the magic thought
of being a leader in attempting the solution
of things that have defied the world's great­est
thinkers for centuries past, and which
cannot be solved by labor.
Again the attempts to plant the seeds of
Communistic ideals in this country have
been numerous. Some have succeeded to
no small degree, while others have been
thwarted by the people and the govern­ment.
The true ideals of labor deserve
attention, but when led by the industrial
destructionist, can only furnish industrial
disruption, dispair, poverty and revolution­ary
action.
CHANCE FOR YOUNG ARCHITECTS
There may be a number of aspiring
young architects over the State who could
profit through the circumstance that the
Civil Service Commission has arranged
with the Supervising Architect at Washing­ton
to employ junior architects in work on
the Government buildings at Washington
and throughout the country. These young
architects are to be given a chance with
an initial salary of $2,000 a year and will
receive training with view to promotion
and larger pay. Any young architect in­clined
to accept Government job of the kind,
can get information from .the local board
at the postoffice, jobs to be held open until
March 12th. They must meet requirement,
which is graduation from a recognized col­lege
or technical school, with major work
in the usual courses required for a know­ledge
of architecture, but senior students in
such courses will be admitted to the examin­ation.—

The Gecko
I'm the Gecko who is down on the en­gineers.
From what I have seen of this
crude bunch on the north side of the
campus, it would be well for no one to
even claim acquaintance with them. There
may be a few fine fellows among them, but
if there are any, they must undoubtedly
hide every time one is looking for them.
These guys think they are the stuff.
Just because the nitwits have a degree
after their name they can't speak to one
who is following the honorable profession
of agriculture. Sometimes they have been
pretty smart and have gotten ahead of the
ags, but just wait until the two meet
sometime and see who comes out in the
lead. There can't be but one answer, for
when an ag decides to trim someone in
some sort of affair, he is as good as whip­ped
already. One thing about these bold
buccaneers is that they take pains to never
cross an ag's path; they do have sense
along that line, but that's all.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
It is a great pleas­ure
to do hard work
but it is a greater
pleasure to see that
the hard work counts
for something. The
Registrar handed me
some figures today
which fill me with a
great deal of satisfac­tion.
During the last
semester of last school year, namely, the
Spring Semester of 1929, 332 students lost
at least one credit hour because of exces­sive
absences. This included an account
only of freshmen, sophomores and juniors.
As you well know, I have been saying a
good deal in the columns of this paper and
to faculty members and students about the
folly of cutting classes. I am delighted
to be able to report that during the first
semester recently ended the number of
those losing credits because of excessive
absences was reduced to 144. This is a
decrease of 60 per cent. During the last
semester of last year about 500 penalty
hours were imposed upon students. During
this last semester only 187 such penalty
hours were imposed upon the 144 students.
I shall get the distribution of these by
classes and courses in a very short time
but I believe this is well worthy of com­ment.
I feel good about it and I think
those who have profited ought to feel good.

I always like to help people who have had

24 an automobile ran into~~an elderly
lady in Montgomery and seriously injured
her. She has been in the hospital every
since and will without doubt be a cripple
for life. Her son who is responsible for
her care and who is an honest, hardworking
man, is trying to find out the name of two
Auburn students who, he believes were in
that car as passengers. All he would like
to have is some clue which would lead him
to the discovery of the driver. If any
students remember this occurrence I wish
they would let me know in behalf of jus­tice
to this lady who is suffering.

Workmen on the new Chemistry Building
report to me some damage to the building,
particularly to the tower, due to students
visiting the same. I take a lot of pride in
these new buildings but if they are going
to be carved up with pen knives and folks
are going to hunt souvenirs to carry away
with them, they will soon be a sorry rep­resentation
of what the people of a great
state have wanted to give to the students
of this and future generations here at Au­burn.
One student has done a consider­able
damage to the building. I do not like
to have the workmen required to lock the
building but I am going to ask again your
cooperation. If these acts of vandalism are
repeated we shall have to look for the guil­ty
parties and begin the process of punish­ment.
I never have liked the word "pun­ishment."
It always seemed to me out of
place in an educational institution. Pun­ishment
is that result which is reserved
for the unintelligent. The laws are made
for the. folks who are so lacking in self-control
that they violate the laws. I am
hoping we will display such pride, as well
as such intelligence, here that nothing fur­ther
need ever be said about the care of

"Little Things"
By Tom Bigbee
"They" (not the girls!) tell us that the
day is fast approaching when those of the
fairer sex are to go fifty-fifty with their
male escorts.
Doesn't sound so bad, does it boys? Think
of tripping out to the show with the dame,
and having to buy only ONE ticket. I say
—not so bad, heh?
But we have a feeling that it sounds just
a wee bit too good to ever come true. Yet
all we can do is wait and see. And in the
meantime, continue buying TWO tickets.
Maybe the fellow who handed out all this
dope is just fresh from the "free-know-ledge-
ist," tho; and in that case his theory
may have a rather unsound footing.
Regardless of where it comes from or
how sound the idea is, we (the masculine
gender) will continue to look with anxious-ness
and palpitating purses to the day
when girls will at least settle for their own
meal tickets.
Just today a rather mature and healthy-looking
lady informed us that girls never
eat much; and that it is very exceptional
to find one who does. We conclude that
she is not accustomed to paying for their
meal bills.
Let's jump up to something bright and
shiney now—the moon. If one happens to
be unlucky enough to stroll across the
campus around nine p. x., he has a perfect
right to wonder if that accusation about
the younger generation "going puppy"
isn't really true, after all!
Oh, well, love has a way all its own; and
it just will have its way—especially under
a bright moon on a spring-like night.

Several nights ago we were walking up the street near the midnight hour, when
we chanced to see a light burning in the Glomerata office. Being naturally inquisi­tive,
an investigation was immediately made with the result that Sam Pope, illus-tious
Art editor of the publication, was found making shingles out of trees. With
his head across the desk, he was in a most uncomfortable position to enjoy sleeping
very much. He has probably done this many times to even be able to begin resting
there. The solution was that he went home about three in the morning, telling
everyone that had labored like a Trojan all night. That is one way of doing it, any­way.

going to college, and not one in five is
fired with any passion for learning." Poor
Bobby Quillen, it would have been a great
shame had such a system been in vogue
when he was a student in college and he
had been weeded out. You are right tho,
Bobby, these young scamps need to study
more.

BURIAL STONES

From hill to hill;
The little grasses stand
Upright and still.

But still the skies
Stretch blue, aloof, unchanged,
From rise to rise.

Research Being Made
Prevent Ice On Wings
Ithaca, N. Y.—(IP)— A hurried re­search
problem designed to find a
means of keeping ice from the wings
of flying airplanes, is being conducted
by Dr. W. C. Geer, former vice-presi­dent
of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company, of Akron, 0., now research
associate to the department of physics
at Cornell University here.
As a rule it is considered unethical
for a scientist to hurry his problem,
but friendship is the heresy that is
driving the Cornell research professor
forward at full speed.
The research is being financed by
the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the
Promotion of Aeronautics, and is be­ing
aided by a number of concerns,
including the National Air Transport
company.
The unusual human element injected
in this research problem comes about
through the personal friendship of the
professor with many of the air mail
pilots whose chief enemy during the
winter months is ice.
In the rubber business Dr. Geer
made contacts with many of the fly­ers.
He knows the pilot's last resort
against ice. It is a plain old fashioned
stick, to beat off the ice after making
an emergency landing, if the landing
succeeds.
The rubber business also brought
him acquaintance with firms making
many substances in the form of fluids
that can be smeared on like paint. A
suggestion to these old business
friends has brought Dr. Geer all the
queer liquids he needs in his experi­ments.
Alone, or in combinations, he paints
these substances on perfectly pro­portioned
miniature wing tips, each
about eight inches long. In a newly
devised weather-making wind tunnel,
which produces at will all the ice con-
INSPIRATION TO THE
STUDENT IS SUCCESS
IN EDUCATIONAL WORK
Success in the educational field can
only be attained by the professor or
teacher who can inspire a poor stu­dent
to work, is the opinion expres­sed
by a publication of the University
of Maryland last week. Qualifica­tions
for an instructor in the high
calling of teaching are defined as
leadership in the class room, patience,
and kindredship.
An instructor who has merely com­passed
his subject without assisting
the student in understanding it or in­spiring
the dull or indifferent pupils
to greater effort is a failure.
Jokes and wise cracks at the ex­pense
cf the poor student who fails to
answer correctly, or remarks deroga­tory
to the student's intelligence
serve rather to humiliate and to in­flict
heartaches and cause discour­agement
than to shame the student
to better work. It is becoming rec­ognized
that the patient, kindl» pro­fessor
who studies the capacity and
characteristics of his pupils is leading
to more constant improvement.
Educators from all over the coun­try
are planning various manners
of honoring Professor John Dewey,
of Columbia University, internation­ally
known lecturer on philosophy,

birthday October 20. He was born
in 1859 at Burlington, Vt.

By M. R. Werner

Reviewed by K. M. McMillan, '33
A fascinating, tlho somewhat pre­judiced
account of the career of Wil­liam
Jennings Bryan constitutes M.
R. Werner's "Bryan." The book deals
rather with the metaphysical than
with the physical activities of "The
Great Commoner."
Instead of being merely the record
of a man's life, the book relates the
emotions and sentiments of the coun­try
as they were aroused by one of
history's most brilliant politicians. It
is a record of the rising and setting I
of a most rare political sun.
Before he was forty-five years of
age Bryan had risen by sheer oratory
and political strategy from a rural
barrister to the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency. His ascent to
power was rapid, but once having se­cured
his hold in the Democratic
party, he was most obstinate to re­linquish
it. He enjoyed a marvelous
political popularity, having been
three times the leader of the Demo­cratic
Party in the primary and na­tional
elections. In the end however,
he found himself exasperated and

Daniel Webster Was
Poet In Young Days
Back in those days, by which is
meant 1798, a college boy didn't need
a roadster, a fraternity pin and a fur
coat to set him in solidly with the fair
sex. Daniel Webster, who was con­siderable
of a campus gallant at Dart­mouth,
turned the trick by turning
poet.
Only a few of his immortal verses
are now extant. Allan L. Benson, in
his biography of Daniel Webster, pub­lished
by Cosmopolitan Book corpora­tion,
quotes this one, found in a billet-doux
to a young lady. It seems that
she cut her foot on an axe, or some
implement, on the eve of a ball, which
brought from Webster the following:
Rust seize the axe, the hoe or spade
Which in your foot this gash has
made;
Which cut through kid and silk and
skin
To spill the blood that was within;
By which you're forced to creep and
crawl
Nor frick and frolic at the ball.
But Clara, Clara! were thy heart
As tender as thy pedal part;
From thy sweet lips did love but flow,
Swift as blood gushes from thy toe
So many beaus would not complain
That all their bows and vows were
vain.
And, Mr. Benson continues, "Web­ster
could write much worse verse
than this,"
The moral is that though you write
very bad poetry, you may still grow
up to be a great statesman—or may
be, because of it.
slandered on every hand by his hated
Wall Street enemies.
Werner accuses Bryan of many
things, but he finds himself able to
prove but few of them. He takes
every opportunity to leave the read­er
suspicious of Bryan; he accuses
Bryan of being ignorant and unread,
attributing his power and influence
solely to his brilliant oratory, and not
giving him any credit for whatever
real merit he may have had. Werner
unjustly ridicules and satirized Bry­an's
activities as Secretary of State.
Although the book is thoroughly in­teresting
and entertaining, it would
be much more so if these prejudices
were omitted.
During his thirty-five years in the
public eye Bryan had led a most ver­satile
life. He traveled around the
world, ran for President three times,
delivered Chautauqua lectures, open­ly
fought the leading captains of in­dustry,
and taught the world's larg­est
Sunday School Class at Miami.
He was the most outstanding figure
of the famous Scopes trial at Dayton,
Tennessee, successfully a r g u i ng
against the most brilliant lawyers of
the day. He was a Colonel in the
Spanish-American War, and, after
greatly assisting Wilson in the presi­dential
election of 1912, he was ap­pointed
Secretary of State.
Bryan took the already unpopular
issue of free silver and led a losing
battle against the adherents of the
Gold Standard. The odds were al­ways
against-him. He kept the Dem­ocratic
party united from 1896 to
1912, from one defeat to another,
never losing hope, but always work­ing
harder in the face of his setbacks.
Although Werner's account of the
life of this great man is unfair at
places, it is well written and should
occupy a high place in biography.

"I am personally acquainted with
dozens of college men who play golf
and they have, without exception, for­gotten
everything garnered in the
four years at the university—every­thing
but golf," declares Frank Con­don,
dare-devil golfer of Hollywood
Boulevard in an editorial, "Golf or
Geometry," in the March issue of
College Humor. "It is with an ef­fort
that they can recall whether
Hannibal crossed the Alps, or wheth­er
the Alps crossed Hannibal. Some
of them took French, but they have
given it back without exception.
Many of these college lads that I
know are along in years now, and
the silver is beginning to gleam in
locks that were blond, or black as
the raven's wing, but the golf swing
picked up at college is as free and
smooth as ever.
"My earnest advice to young gen­tlemen
passing through college is to
take up golf before it is everlastingly
too late. It will be with you when
you need a friend, when your memory
grows dim, when you have not the
faintest notion whether an atom can
be cracked, or how to approach an
atom that obviously requires crack­ing,
or what to do with the separate
chitterlings after the atom has been
cracked.
''Cramming isn't going to count at
all in the later days, and nobody is
going to give a pelican's hoot whether
you majored in German literature or
just finished as a plain top sergeant.
Seven years from the day you pass
proudly out of old Schenectady, no­body
in the whole wide world is go­ing
to give a tinker's dam whether
you were graduated with h:gh honors
or were flung through a rear win­dow-
by an infuriated faculty. This
may have an unreasonable sound, but
I know, for I have recently been talk­ing
with a man from Boston."
RECENT RESEARCH MAY
ALTER LATE WAR HISTORY
Washington—(IP)—American col­leges
are faced with the manifest
duty of completely revising their
courses in World War history in the
light of recent researches which
have altered the prevailing views on
causes of that conflict, in the opin­ion
of Professor Lowell J. Ragatz,
of George Washington University.
He has outlined a revised course
in modern history that will startle
students accustomed to early post
war accounts of war guilt. Ragatz
will teach his course this semester.
Modern historians, Ragatz said,
have shifted the blame for the world
war from the shoulders of the late
Kaiser, who did his utmost to stop
hostilities, to Count Berchtold, Aus
trian foreign minister.
"What constitutes a gentleman?"
members of the freshman class at
Illinois Weslyan University were ask­ed.
This is a subject upon which
opinions have varied thru different
generations, emphasis having been
placed upon the family connections in
our forefathers' time, while accomp­lishment
rather than ancestry, is
stressed in the present day. Are
there certain characteristics that
would distinguish a gentleman in any
age? The class of 1933 has some
definite ideas on the subject.
"My idea of a gentleman," says
one young woman, "is a man who has
the highest ideals and who tries to
live up to these ideals. He must be
truly unselfish, have a feeling of deep
sincerity, and be courageous in all
ways. It's not the clothes that count."
"A cultured person is one who pos­sesses
two qualities which cover a
lot of territory—good manners and
good morals", asserts a man student.
"He must be cultured, have a de­gree
of dignity, must possess simpli­city
and good manners. He must be
above ridicule and remember to be
friendly. A gentleman should have
a trained mind, and, above all, good
morals.
A gentleman is an ideal. Probab­ly
no person has ever been a true
Philadelphia, Pa.— (IP)—A New
York professor, whose name authori­ties

here because of a book which
he wrote which local authorities al­lege

It is understood the professor was

which later sold at from $20 to $100

race.

WOMEN SMOKERS LIKE
MINT CHEWING GUM
Since girls have started smoking,
the sales of doublemint gum and pep­permints
have practically doubled, a
well-known druggist declared recent­ly.
The secret for this popularity, he
claims, is in the fact that a stick of
gum and a couple of mints will re­move
almost all the traces of tobacco
odor on the breath.
Girls are rather bashful about buy­ing
tobacco, according to this drug­gist.
"I've never sold cigarettes to
a girl, but one young lady bought two
cigars last week," he said.
Parker's new streamlined Duofold Pens (and
Pencils to match) look neater and set lower in the
pocket than others because the clip starts at the
TOP—not halfway down the cap.
The smart, perfectly poised shape feels "at
home" in the hand—the hand-ground, heavy
gold point writes with our famous 47th improve­ment
—Pressureless Touch.
Like 2 Pens for the Price of One
An exclusive convertible feature makes all
Parker pens actually like 2 Pens in One. When
you buy a pocket Parker you need only a desk
base to convert it to a complete Desk Set. We
include taper, free. If you buy pen and desk set
together, you get a pocket cap with clip free,
making the Desk Pen a Pocket Pen, too.

COFFIN FELLOWSHIPS
OF GENERAL ELECTRIC
ANNOUNCED FOR 1930
The Charles A. Coffin Foundation,
established some years ago by the
General Electric Company, has an­nounced
that applications are now
being made for the Charles A. Cof­fin
Fellowships for 1930-31.
The terms of the Charles A. Cof­fin
Foundation made provision for
the award of $5,000 annually for
fellowships to graduates of the uni­versities,
colleges, a n d technical
schools throughout the United States,
who have shown, by the character
of their work, that they could, with
advantage, undertake or continue re­search
work in educational institu­tions
either in this country or abroad.
The fields in which these fellow­ships
are to be awarded are Elec­tricity,
Physics, and Physical Chem­istry.
The committee, composed of Mr.
Gano Dunn, representing the Nation­al
Academy of Sciences; Mr. R. I.
Rees, representing the Society for
Promotion of . Engineering Educa­tion,
and Mr. Harold B. Smith, rep­resenting
the American Institute of
Electrical .Engineers, desires to make
the awards to men who, without fi­nancial
assistance, would be unable
to devote themselves to research
work. The fellowships will carry
a minimum allowance of $500. This
allowance may be increased to meet
the special needs of applicants to
whom the committee decides to
award the fellowships.
Candidates for the Charles A. Cof­fin
Fellowships should file applica­tions
on forms provided for that
purpose, and obtainable from the
secretary. Applications will be wel­comed
from seniors desiring to do
research work as a part of the re­quirements
for an advanced degree
as well as graduates of universities,
colleges, and technical schools, but
any award to a senior will be con­ditioned
upon his graduation.
The committee requests that all
applications first be sent to the dean
of the educational institution at
which the applicant is, or has been,
in attendance within the year. The
committee desires that the dean or
other college executive in turn file
all the applications received by him
at the same time, together with a
statement naming the two men ap-
CHILDREN ARE INVITED TO
STORY HOUR WEDNESDAY
All Auburn children from three
years through kindergarden age are
cordially invited to the Children'?
Story Hour Wednesday, Feb. 8, from
3 to 4 p. m., at Mrs. Salmon's home
on east Glenn Avenue.
The story hour is a regular weekly
event in charge of a committee head­ed
by Mrs. W. E. Sewell. The pro­ject
is being canied out as part of
the program of the education depart­ment
of the Woman's Club. The com­mittee
requests that anyone who can
give or lend children's books, from
which the programs can be prepared,
please call 123 or 312 and Mrs. Camp
.-.r Mrs. Sewell will be glad to call for
the books.
MEN OF CULTURE NOT
RICHES ARE NEEDED
"It is much more necessary to the
future of the nation that the colleges
of liberal arts produce men of spirit­ual
and cultural riches than material
wealth," Frederick Ferry, president
of Mamilton College, said in an ad­dress
before the convention of the
Association of Colleges and Second­ary
Schools of the Middle States and
Maryland, held recently.
"The goal of American education,"
he said, "has been characterized as
efficiency, and that of British educa­tion
as culture. Unless American ef­ficiency
can have genuine culture
associated with it, American educa­tion
will have failed/'
Also speaking at the conference,
President Harvey N. D a v i s , of
Stevens Institute said "there should
be more independence of mind, more
curiosity and more creative power
among students, and less absorbing
power." He declared that in after
life things memorized in school days
are used rarely and suggested a re­vision
of college entrance examina­tions
in line with such a theory.
plying who in his opinion or the
opinion of the faculty are hest qual­ified
to receive the award.
Applications must be fiiled with
the committee by March 1, 1930, and
should be addressed to Secretary,

Two Basketball Teams
Coached by Tiger Men
Are Outstanding High School Teams
IH State
Elmer G. Salter
Two of the outstanding high school
basket ball teams in the state are
coached by members of Auburn's
famous 1928 hardwood machine.
Frank DuBose, all-Southern center,
and Ebb James, the youngest mem­ber
of the twin combination of Ebb
and Fob, are coaching at Tallassee
and Goodwater.
DuBose and James have produced
teams their first year in the coaching
profession which have won a large
number of victories over the leading
teams in the state. Tallassee would
have an almost perfect record if it
were not for two close defeats at
the hands of the Sidney Lanier Poets.
Goodwater has only lost two games
this season and has trounced Sidney
Lanier, Alexander City, Fayetteville
and other strong teams in the fourth
district. Fayetteville, coached by
Cush Wood, former all-Southern
pitcher here at the Cornerstone, won
from Goodwater on an outdoor court,
and was defeated in Goodwater on
the hardwood.
It is quite a coincidence that the
two successful coaches of cage teams
in the state who teamed together on
the Orange and Blue five in 1928
which won 20 and lost 2 games, are
the only members of the team that
year who have been thrown for losses
by Dan Cupid. DuBose was married
during his sophomore year, while
James broke the long standing part­nership
of Ebb and Fob, by joining
in the bonds of matrimony last Fall.
Goodwater and Tallassee will both
be represented in the fourth district
tournament which will be held here,
Feb. 20, 21 and 22. If they happen
to be in different brackets, they will
be the favorites to represent this
district in the state tournament. The
finalists in the district tourney will
enter the state meet.

"PROSTITUTES OF THE
GRIDIRON"
Four Athletes Have
Places On Two Teams
"It is seldom that fiction antici­pates
fact as closely as Holworthy
Hall's novel "Colossus," now appear­ing
in College Humor. In view of
the Carnegie Foundation report and
the attendant publicity given the Big
Ten concerning professionalism in
College Humor. In view of the Car­negie
Foundation report and the at­tendant
publicity given the Big Ten
concerning professionalism in college
athletics, an editorial written by one
of Mr. Hall's characters in the March
issue is timely and true enough to
quote as though this were not a
story.
"Our coaches at Oxford were eith­er
graduates who came back to help
us out and received no compensation
whatsoever, or were professionals
who were treated as such—and the
English professional rates as an ar­tisan.
For the British idea is that
'if an individual plays a game, there
is no reason why he should be ob­liged
to play it in such a way that
will please the professional coach, or,
as the only alternative, to find him­self
abolished from the game.' The
players play for the fun of it, and
neither as a matter of social policy
nor for the aggrandizement of a self-perpetuating
group of coaching ex­perts
with the salaries of bank presi­dents
and the despotic authority of
drill sergeants in the time of Fred­erick
of Prussia.
"I cannot believe that the Ameri­can
temperament is suited to the
English idea of sportsmanship. It is
suited to certain fatalistic notions
which to ourselves constitute our own
private brand of sportsmanship. That
is, we say that we are playing a game
under certain rules and that if we
trespass upon the rule, there is a
penalty and that therefore it is our
privilege to trespass and that it is
more or less our duty to trespass, pro­vided
that the loss sustained by the
penalty is of less moment than the
gain obtained by the contravention.
"American football is, intrinsical­ly,
the grandest game I know. But
it has been spoiled by stadiums, sports
editors, systems, cycophants and So­viet
supervision.
"Prostitutes of the gridiron! That
situation is due to frenzied publicity
(which has no counterpart in Eng­land),
to the American axiom that a
clouded victory is more honorable
than a bright defeat (a proposition
which would not be understood in
England), to the fact that the major­ity
of all American universities are
in the market for customers as cer­tainly
as the automobile companies
are in the market for'customers (and
this would not be comprehended in
England), wherefore the heroic hire­lings
are always with us."
"Colossus" concerns the career of
a hired football player, the mental
and emotional confusion arising from
four years of enacting such a role,
the complications and drama of such
an unethical mode of living.
BAND IS FEATURED IN MOBILE
MARDI GRAS CELEBRATION
(Continued from page 1)
The band is now practicing daily in
order to furnish the revelers the best
in band music. The officials and
members are confident that the rec­ords
of past years will be upheld if
not bettered. Much progress has
been made since the practices were
begun for the season, and it is expect­ed
that a band of professional finish
will make the trip this year.
Since its organization in 1892 by
Professor M. T. Fullan the band has
attended many Mardi Gras celebra­tions.
The band has grown from a
drum corps to a famous fifty-piece
organization. Several appearances
were made under Prof. A. L. Thomas,
the successor of Prof. Fullan. Mak­ing
its first performance in Mobile
under Mr. P. R. Bidez, the present
mentor, in 1911, the band has become
increasingly popular in that city, and
is yearly judged to be one of the
outstanding features in the Carnival
celebration.

Captain-Elect of Football Team Also
Plays Baseball
Elmer G. Salter
Dual roles are being played in
athletics here at the Cornerstone by
Dunham Harkins, captain-elect of the
1930 football team and pitcher on the
baseball team; Carl Creel, javelin
hurler and end and tackle on the
gridiron eleven; Roy Pate, regular
forward on the hardwood quintet
and shortstop on the diamond team,
and Chas. Kaley, who is a leading
contender for a guard berth on the
cage five and catcher on the baseball
team.
Each of the above athletes divide
his time between the sports in which
they have won honors.
Harkins spends half of the after­noon
with the Spring footballers who
•e under Coach Earl McFaden. With­out
changing from moleskins to the
diamond attire, Harkins only changes
footwear and does his usual work
with Coach Sheridan's large crop of
baseballers.
Carl Creel hurls the sharp pointed
shaft a few times for Coach Hutsell
and then reports to McFaden for
football instruction.
Pate and Kaley probably have it
easier than the other versatile Plains­men
athletes as they practice with
the dribblers in the evening, while
doing a little work with the horse-hide
pasters in the^afternoon.
The above quatet of athletes have
been oustanding in their respective
sports and it would not be surprising
to see them starring in every game or
meet that their team participates in.
