Why? There can be only one reason—our youngest coach is married. Coach Lee left Auburn 'Thursday night, being accompanied by Homer Wright. Shortly after his arrival in the Gulf City, he and Miss Gertrude-Hall, of Gloster, Mississippi, made a short visit to the home of Rev. Hupp, pastor of the First Baptist Church of New Orleans, remaining just long enough for Miss Hall to assume the name of Mrs. Lee. The only attendants at the quiet wedding were Homer Wright and Moon Ducote. Mrs. Lee is the daughter of Rev. B. B. Hall, pastor of the Baptist Church, Gloster, Mississippi. The newlyweds will return to Auburn Monday, where they will reside in the Brewer Hotel. Funds Solicited For Welfare Chest Students and Townspeople Are Asked to Contribute Generously The people of Auburn, on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13 and 14, will have an opportunity to subscribe to the Welfare Chest of Lee County. This Welfare Chest takes care of the charity work in the county. The money will be used chiefly in giving necessary medical aid to children who are otherwise unable to have the proper medical treatment. A generous contribution for this will be the only call this year. The campaign in Auburn being sponsored by the Woman's Club. Mrs. Corprew, children's welfare worker of Lee County, fully understands the needs of children, and asks for the earnest cooperation of- all citizens. A similar drive is nearing' conclusion in Opelika. Lions Club of Auburn has already subscribed two hundred dollars. The following women will have charge of the soliciting of funds in the designated districts: Mrs. Fun-chess, South College Street, including Miller Avenue; Mrs. Biggin, North College Street; Miss Lottie Wright, North Gay Street; Mrs. Homer Wright, South Gay Street; Mrs. Creel, Glenn Avenue; Mrs. Eaton, East Magnolia Street; Mrs. Toomer, West Magnolia Street; Mrs. J. T. Williamson, Thatch Avenue; Miss Marie Sewell, Opelika Road; Mrs. Allison, uptown. Omicron Delta Kappa Sends Band To Game Amount Necessary to Defray Expenses Raised In Short Time Addison McGhee, president of the Omega Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, was elated yesterday over the success of the drive to send the Auburn Band to New Orleans. * "It was a splendid show of spirit," he said, "for all four classes to vote unanimously to contribute to the fund; also, the contributions from the Athletic Association were greatly appreciated." Over six hundred dollars was needed to defray the expenses of the band on this trip. This amount and more was subscribed in less than three days. This is another incident that goes to show that Alabama Poly has a powerful capacity for putting big things over when everyone gets behind and pushes. AG. FAIR IS BIGGEST EVENT OF PAST WEEK ON AUBURN CAMPUS Attendance Breaks Record of Former Fairs GRIDIRON GAME IS STAGED Horticultural Booths Are Feature of Display Ranging with the very best student performances, and equalling its own high record of former years, the annual Ag Fair, staged here Friday evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, was indeed a colorful event, and a pronounced credit to the College of Agriculture. Being under the management of Messrs. C. T. Bailey, T. R. Home, J. R. Taylor, Jr., and N. Mer-riwether, prominent Ag students and active Ag Club members, the Fair was strictly a student performance, operating under exclusive student management and financing. Attendance is said to have excelled any similar previous occasion of this kind here by far; several hundred students, professors, townspeople and visitors' witnessed the unique occasion. Immediately following the plaudi-tory send-off given the Tiger football squad and Auburn Band at the station at 7:45 p. m., en route to New Orleans for a fierce struggle with the Tulane Greenies Saturday afternoon, attention was directed to the scene of the Fair, to which a vast aggregation thronged. Special arrangements were made for the attendance of State YMCA Student Council representatives after their evening banquet in the Eastern Star dining hall, as a part of the state meeting program be- (Continued on page 6) Y. M. C. A. Student Council Convenes With 25 student representatives from five educational institutions in the State and several prominent Y. M. C. A. officials present, the State Y. M. C. A. Student Council opened its semi-annual meeting here Friday evening with a banquet given by the local Y. M. C. A. members at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Representatives from the University of Alabama, Jacksonville Normal, Birmingham-Southern, Howard College and Auburn were present. At the banquet held in the Masonic Hall, O. R. Magill, regional Y. M. C. A. secretary from Atlanta, delivered the address of the evening. W. EI\ Edwards, president of the loc-.i Y. M. C. A. made a short talk welcoming the delegates and speakers to Auburn. Later in the evening the assemblage attended the Ag Fair, an annual celebration given by the Agricultural students. Dr. O. C. Carmichael, President Alabama College, and O. R. Magill delivered an address to the group Saturday morning. J. Ward Nelson, Alabama state secretary was the speaker Saturday evening. Saturday afternoon the delegates and speakers attended the Auburn- Tulane Frosh football game on Drake Field, complimentary tickets having been presented by Head Coach George M. Bohler, according to Roy Sellers, student secretary at Auburn. The meeting will close Sunday morning with an address by President Bradford Knapp at 11:00 o'clock.

The Cajoler staff requests that all student's who failed to get their copies of the September Cajoler put their names in a box which will be provided in the Student Supply Shop. With all preparations completed for the elaborate Armistice celebration at Auburn next Monday, Major John T. Kennedy issued another statement Saturday cordially inviting all Ex-Service men, members of the American Legion and officers of the Reserve Corps to be present. "This being the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice," said Major Kennedy, "we are especially anxious that all ex-service men gather with us hfere for this celebration. The exercises have been arranged in their honor." After the suspension of classes at 10:00 o'clock in the morning the Auburn R. O. T.

Exactly at 12:00 o'clock the National Salute of twenty-one guns will be s o u r e d by the Field Artillery De-ta'-'. xment, after which the Auburn band will bring this part of the exercises to a close with the playing of the national anthem. (Continued on page 6) BOHLER MAKES FIRST CALL FOR ASPIRANTS FOR BASKET HONORS Prospects Are Very Bright For Another Good Team This Year Faculty Indulges In Very Exclusive "Hop Last night the faculty was supposed to have had a dance. This is not stated as a fact, and the public is warned against accepting it as authoritative, for the proceedings in the gym were shrouded in a veil of mystery. True, one on the drill field might have heard an orchestra, playing, so it seemed, in the gym; this gives added weight to the supposition that there was a dance there. However, the affair (take for granted it was a dance) was pronounced so very exclusvie that not even a reporter from the town paper was allowed to catch a glimpse of the probably magnificently decorated interior. Look for more "news" of the faculty in the future; if what happened last night is any indication this material will be extremely difficult to obtain and should be of unusual value, as is the case with rare things. »> By Dick Jones Superhumn football rocking in its biggest swing of the 1928 season and the Auburn Tigers just hitting their best stride, Coach George M. Bohler, with the aid of Coach "Sheriff" Lee and Captain Frank DuBose, will hold their initial Basketball practice Monday night at 7:00 P. M., in the Auburn Alumni gymnasium. Prospects are bright for another good team this year and in order to produce such, the Coaches are going to get off to as early a start as possible. This will help them to get into real shape before the campaign opens around Christmas. Advance reports predict the largest squad of aspirants to ever report for the first practice in the Plains, on the hard-wood, will answer the initial call Monday. No stiff practice will be held. Handling the big round ball in Bohler's fashion will be about the main drill on the menu. Bohler's style is going to need an early start in order to get off to a flying start at the first sound of the opening whistle. Four letter men are expected to re-return along with Manager "Pee Wee" Wright, and five scrubs. Lettermen tio return are Captain Frank DuBose, Smith, L. James, and Mullins. Scrubs who are expected to return are "Pop" Paterson, Vines, Joe Kennedy, Pete Booth, and Lawrence Chamblee. Chamblee is the only man still out for football and will not be able to answer the call until after Thanksgiving. Lost by graauation were four of the best cage men the Tigers boosted of in quite a few full moons. They have all been outstanding players on the Varsity squad for the past' three years. Two of them having held down the job of Captain. These four men are Fob James, Ebb James, Jelly Akin, and Buck Ellis. Fob James was captain last year and Buck Ellis was captain year before last. The team will be strengthened a great deal by the Sophomore's of last year's "rat" team. Three new men to step up will be Chappelle, Pate, and Harmond. All three of these men are real hustlers of the indoor sport and Bohler will have to find a place for them on his team before the sea- (Continued on page 6) In a blaze of glory, the departing team's farewell party, eight hundred strong, led by the Auburn band, surged through the streets of town to the station with a mighty clamor. Once at the depot the crowds massed in one huge body and thunderous, ear-splitting cheers echoed back and forth across the plains. As the train drew into the station the mob crouched for an "Eat 'em up, Tiger!"—the passengers on the train were wide-eyed with astonishment-— several were seen holding their fingers in their ears. The band and team boarded the train and the band struck up the tune of "Touchdown, Auburn"—the crowds went wild. The engine puffed—the Tigers were off to make a tiny ripple out of the Green Wave. Dr. Petrie Talks At Rotary Club Recounts War Activities and Describes first Armistice Celebration Dr. George Petrie delivered a most interesting Armistice address at the Rotary Club meeting at the Thomas Hotel, Thursday. Looking back over the decade that has elapsed since the close of the World War, Dr. Petrie recounted the war activities here at Auburn and the circumstances surrounding the real celebration of the Armistice on November 11th, 1918. "We thought that the Armistice would mark the beginning of a millennium in which there could never be any possibility of another word war," said Dr. Petrie, "but today we see more troops under arms in Europe than before the outbreak in 1914. Dr. Petrie then touched upon the results of the Versailles Treaty and how that the ten years just passed has shown the many mistakes it con-trained. The method of reparation payment by Germany is yet to be solved, he said. In addition the types of government now set up in Italy and Russian trangress all our ideals of democracy which we thought would be substantiated with the overthrow of Germany's autocracy. In conclusion, Dr. Petrie stated that the present frank attitude characterizing the thinking of today will doubltless result in much that is desirable in future years. Visitors present from Opelika were Curtis Roberts, A. W. Burton, Claude Summers, John Denson, and Reed Barnes. George Phillips, an Auburn alumnus of Columbus, Ga., was also a visitor. Prof. M. T. Fullan conducted the installation of a new club member, Prof. C. Mr Hixon. Auburn Band Attracts Comment At N. Orleans Gives 3 Mile Parade At Noon Saturday in Crescent City The Auburn Band, after a parade at noon today, some three miles in length, through downtown' New Orleans, went on the field of the football stadium between halves. The musicians featured a new arrangement of the Alma Mater song. The score, which was given its first public rendition at this time, was arranged by Edwin Dicey, organist at the Grand Theatre, Montgomery. The new arrangement is in a slightly higher key and is conceded to be much better than the one formerly used. The Alma Mater song was written by Bill Wood, a member of the class of '26: By Carol Porter Tulane defeats Auburn by narrow margin of one point. Tuxworth played best game of the year, making consistent gains through Tulane's line, completing both of Auburn's drives for the Tulane goal. The Plainsman passing attack showed continued improvement and many passes were completed for long gains. Game is unusual because of few penalties. 1st Quarter Banker kicked off to Callahan on Auburn's 10-yard line and Callahan returned 50 yards to Tulane's 40 yard line and almost got away for a touchdown. Crawford lost two yards on the first play. Crawford passed but was incomplete. Auburn attempted a place kick but Harkins' pass from center went high and Ingram attempted to run but lost two yards on the plan and the ball went over to Tulane. Banker made 6 yards through Auburn's line on the next two plays. Armstrong went 45 yards over left tackle on the next play for Tulane's first touchdown and Banker kicked goal for the extra point. After Armstrong's 45-yard run through Auburn's forward wall Auburn swung to the defense and kicked without handling the ball much during the first quarter but drew her line close together. The line held better in the first quarter of this game than any other battle this year. For Auburn fumbled a punt on their 10-yard line and Tulane recovered but was only able to carry it to the Tigers 2-yard line where the Plainsmen held them for downs. The frist quarter ended as Auburn punted out to mid-field, i Score: Auburn 0, Tulane 7. 2nd Quarter Auburn took the ball on her 30- yard line. Tuxworth punted on the first play to Armstrong who was forced out of bounds on Tulane's 32-yard line. Tutene carried the ball to Auburn's 20-yard line on line bucks and end runs. Auburn held tight for the next three plays and Tulane failed to gain so they resorted to the air and Armstrong passed to Roberts which netted 20 yards and Tulane's second touchdown. Banker failed to kick goal. Auburn ended the second quarter strong with overhead plays. The Plainsmen made three first downs to carry the ball to Tulane's 30-yard line. On the next play, Tuxworth passed to Shannon which was good for ten yards but Shannon fumbled and Tulane recovered on the Greenies 20-yard line. Score: Auburn 0; Tulane 13. 3rd Quarter Ingram kicked to Armstrong on his five yard line and he returned to 3rd yard line. A pass from Armstrong was intercepted by Peake on 33 yard line. Sellers hit center for five yards. Tuxworth ran around left end for twenty seven yards. Sellers went through center for six yards. Tuxworth fumbled but Ingram recovered for a ten yard gain. Ball on Tulane's 13 yard line. Tuxworth went around left end for a touchdown. Ingram failed to kick goal. Ingram kicked to Banker on five yard line and he returned to 30-yard line. A pass from Banker was intercepted by Peake on his own 15- yard line and he ran behind perfect interference to Tulan's 15 yard line. Sellers went over center for 10 yards. Sellers then carried the ball to the one yard line. Tuxworth went around left end for a touchdown. A pass failed to add the extra point.

There are always some chronic complainers and objectors who could find fault with the celestial management of the Pearly City itself. The present trouble seems to be that some town people are of the opinion that the college should not operate a cafeteria. This sentiment is expressed in a letter published on this page, written by Mr. Jack Tamblyn, a meat market proprietor of Auburn. The laissez-faire form of government will not work in the administration of a college. The college must make it its business to look after the students in other ways than simply providing knowledge spigots for them to turn on. The housing disciplining, feeding, amusing, of the students must become to some extent the business of the college. We need not go into this point. Every college has its dormitories, restaurants, athletic plants, theatres and many of them own movie houses and other equipment desirable in college life. Many colleges require students to eat in a central mess-hall. It is rare that a school has no restaurant. Auburn is only doing what other schools do, and what is necessary, when a cafeteria is operated where students can get sanitary, healthful, expertly prepared, cheap food in the quantities and at the times that they desire. The cafeteria is not a commercial proposition. The college is not operating it as a source of income. It is one of the means by which the college is rendering service to the sons of the tax-payers of the state in making it possible for them to acquire an education under the most favorable conditions. It is recognized everywhere that the college is perfectly justified in reaching outside the classroom and aiding students in other matters which are essential. The college students are not brought to Auburn to provide customers for boarding houses, but to become educated, and it is the business of the administration to facilitate the accomplishment of that object. We cannot agree with Mr. Tamblyn in his belief that it is not necessary for the college to operate the cafeteria. It is necessary if the college is to render the greatest possible service to the student body. The Desire for Surcease From Monotony Most of us regard routine as a personal fiend which stupefies variety with a deadly overpowering ruthlessness. We say that routine is a noisome, consuming, iron-clad devil of oppression; that we are snowed under by a never ceasing avalanche of prosy drudging in a rut. Variation seems to be inexorably smothered and suppressed. Just what do we mean when we think of variety? Isn't it usually that we conceive of an indefinite interim of time in which we depart radically from the consistency of devotion to a single purpose? Always the thought of variation or variety quickens and stirs our minds to visioning something just beyond the probable. They are like two Ariels and appear in assumed forms to our undiscerning eyes. Just when we have tired a bit of pursuing one form, a new desire makes its appearance before us and we are off on a seemingly new conquest without having attained the ultimate satisfaction of achieving the first enterprise. Variation and variety are clever. They work in relays and never become fatigued. Also, they possess the magic of being continuously different and attractive. We somehow like it, don't we? At least until the chase or perhaps the pace becomes exhausting to ourselves. Yet we expend the last iota of effort in a desire to assuage our piqued interest.' Our ego refuses to admit that we have run after something without even successfully detaining and despoiling that something of all we covet. For after all, aren't we making much whoopee? Haven't we seen a devil of a lot of life while we are gadding about? Yes, perhaps we have. About as much of real life as variation and variety design to use as disguises, while they outstrip us in that tantalizing quest they tempt us to follow. Then we end up in the blind alley where we have heedlessly run. We have ceased to furnish Variation and Variety with amusement —a sardonic, impish amusement, because we are no longer strong enough to stand the pace—and moreover our pockets are most deplorably and completely empty. So the blind alley, and a jarring bump as we careen into its wall—for our eyes, until the last instant are fixed on the sly seductive enchantresses. Variation and Variety look disgustingly tawdry as they speed out of sight. We sit down to rest our aching limbs and blistered feet— and say to ourselves that we have been terribly disillusioned and that we are going to become very bitter. We can even detect the first sym-toms of bitterness already. Suppose we had sat down before we chased off and lost our breath and blistered our feet and had done a bit of comparing and analyzing and some patient defining of values -and meanings? A single purpose can conceivably have a diverse composition of the elements which form it. May it not? It naturally requires a systematized method to competently weld all those elements and to realize the achievement of that purpose, does it not? That realization can be very concrete, very comfortable and enjoyable and affluent. Why not make the process of welding those elements which we groaningly refer to as routine—an eager pursuit. Those elements which are here in college for us to pick and choose from are not commonly called Variation and Variety—but they can be just as intriguing, and they are more real and permanent. Perhaps they are not so impossibly elusive after all as are the imps we instinctly think of as Variation and Variety. Letters to the Editor Editor, The Plainsman: While on a visit to Loachapoka, Alabama —a city no great distance from Auburn— it was my fortune to meet an Auburn man that was interesting. Not that all Auburn men are interesting however, but this man suggested something that is interesting. As I was chatting with a friend, a native of the city, my attention was drawn to what seemed to be an old deformed man, a pityful sight it was, coming towards us. He came slowly and his head and shoulders were so drawn forward and down as to be almost on a level with his knees. My heart softened at the sight of the old man. Sights like that do take one's heart out. I inquired of my friend who the old gentleman was and suggested that perhaps something could be done for him. Then came the shock of my life. "Something be done for him" cried my friend in astonishment, "and don't you know who that man is?" I turned to again look at the unfortunate creature who was quite near us. I was dumbfounded. I was shocked beyond speech. Regaining my speech, I asked my friend to please for the Lord's sake tell me what was that enormous weight hanging around the old man's body. It is some strange religious penitence the old man is performing by such torture? Or maybe he is a criminal, I thought, and that is his punishment. But now the bent old form was so close that I could see the weight glittered and was not a single weight, but hundreds of small golden discs and triangles and squares. I could hold myself no longer. "Tell me for goodness sake, what does this mean. Why should this old man suffer?" I begged. "Suffer" replied my friend, "why, that man is Cy Whippletree, Auburn's most honored and distinguished graduate and our leading citizen. That, that you see hanging from his watch chain is not a weight. Those are some of his honorary society keys. He was a member of every honorary society at Auburn." "Oh, said I. "He is a great scholar then! "No" replied my friend, strangely enough, he can't even write his own name nor can he read a line." "Well, that's unusual" I ventured, "but I suppose he was a glorious leader among the boys and he must have led his societies on to do great things for Auburn." My friend smiled and said to me, "that wasn't necessary. All they did was to have a luncheon or banquet once in a while. Nevertheless we are proud of him, because belonging to honor societies means a great deal you know" . . . . . I passed out gently into a fit of screaming contortions Now back to what this sugests. I would suggest that we increase the number of our honorary societies to double the number we now have and use tobacco tags—which are very light and shiney—instead of keys. This would enable one to belong to many more societies without fear of endangering one's health. Also I would suggest that each society build for its private use, a nice croquet court. This would greatly aid the school and make membership in the societies much more desirable. IVANHOE SILVIA. °g AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « Editor, The Plainsman, Auburn, Alabama. Dear Mr. Editor: I am sure a few thoughts of mine in your paper would do no harm, and may be a means of starting a thought along a new line. The college does not have National, State, County or City taxes to pay, and with a few more advantages the towns people of Auburn would be vastly benefitted if the college took over a few of the town's business interests. Every one in town has to be kept warm, mostly by the use of coal. As the college uses some coal I suggest that the college buy out a coal yard, (Mr. Beasley's being the most convenient), and let present owner with his helpers work on the college pay roll. This would give the college, college boys, professors and towns people coal at mine cost plus freight. This would save to the people of Auburn taxes, licenses, profits and salaries. I am sure I would be glad to see the college take over a garage, a gas station, ice plant and one or two other essential businesses on the same basis. I do not see any necessity in taking over restaurants, grocery stores or markets, as the cafeteria is becoming so popular that everybody supplies their wants from same. Trusting that the editor will see fit to publish the above, I am Yours truly, JACK TAMBLYN. Friendship Minor incidents establish us as kindred spirits. We perceive that we view life from the same angle, that our humor takes the same twist, that we indulge in the same follies, or that we have a mutual fondness for onion soup. Prexy's Paiagraphs By Bradford Knapp The companionship, the fraternizing, the talking it over when the "gang" is all present, are pleasant memories of college life and often they are really profitable occasions. I believe students generally call them "Bull Sessions," a somewhat inelle-gant but often entirely appropriate des-scription of these casual and informal gatherings just to talk. How much effect do "Bull Sessions" have upon scholarship? Only an intimate knowledge of individual students and the way they spend their time would answer this question. If your scholarship is low, if you are on probation, if you have been warned, if you dread examinations, just set down in your book at night how much time for a week or a day you have wasted in "Bull Sessions." In some cases if the truth were entered on the record we would change the entry from "Dropped for failure in scholarship" to the more truthful "Dropped for too much 'Bull Session'." Don't work all the time. Enjoy the companionship and pleasant session when you talk it over with the fellows. But look out for too much "Bull Session." * * * * * Own your own text-book. "Own your own." That would be a good slogan. You cannot do yourself justice and you seriously decrease your chances for passing in all your work if you are depending upon borrowing a book from someone else. Recently, in one house, three men were found deficient in a subject. Inquiry developed the fact that four men were trying to get their lessons out of one text book. Your parents cannot afford the four or five hundred dollars required for a year's work in college and risk having you fail in part for lack of text-books. You are investing your time and your money. If you were investing them in a building, you would insure the building. Insure your investment in a college education by buying text books and, may I suggest also, applying yourself to the task of mastering their contents. It might help and might save what would otherwise be almost a complete loss.

Max Jones and his mental deficient Morons will attempt to accompany us. * * » * * * * * THERE ARE NONE IN AUBURN Here's to the Professor who— Never tells a joke in the classroom, Will not horse you about a cut or two, Is married, Never won the Greek medal at the Seminary, or if he did it never mentions the fact. * * * * * * * * MORE POWER TO THEM It is rumored that girls of the W. C. A. have composed the following song to the tune of "Ball in the Basket." Clothes in the Windows; Somebody's washed them. Can't you hear those matrons sigh, (Inhale—exhale) "We'll reform this school, Make them know the rule That their can't hang on high." (Repeat if allowed to) P. S. Maybe this better be put in the appendix so that it can be removed. * * * * * * * * MIGHT HELP If basket ball gives girls graceful, well-formed arms, perhaps more of our co-eds should go out for track. * * * * * * * * DOGGONE There's a certain college professor we know whose weak point is dogs. We even heard rumors of a story that he carried his hound hoftte from a hunting expedition because he looked tired around the eyes. But we ask you doggonnit, if said college professor started putting on dog and became dogomatic about it, would he be going to the dogs or just be doggy? Hot Dog! What a doggerel! * * * * * * * * NOT US! Au Auburn M. D. says that in 50 years kissing will be a thing of the past. Who'll care then? * * * * * * * * ADVICE So freshmen e'er it grow too late While you still have ifs and buts, Sit you down and ruminate, Or like some prof you'll go nuts. * * * * * * * * ITS EXPECTED OF ENGINES About the dumbest statement of the year is attributed to our good friend Lieut. Higgins (First Lieut. Adjutant D. O. L.). He pulls this swift one, "Now I hope I haven't missed giving rifles to any of the new students. All those without arms, hold up your hands." * * * * * * * * • Frosh home on a vacation: Gee Dad, I often lie awake half the night thinking of what she has said to me. His Dad: Take a tip from me son, or you'll soon be lying awake all night listening to it. WITH OTHER COLLEGES Rutgers College gets the ice cream cake. Each year the freshmen during one of their, pajama parades are carried out to the race track wheer they circle the cinder path according to the year they will graduate. For instance, only recently they chased their noses for 32 laps. If you ask me this is a splendid method of finding out track men of long distance calibre. It would not take long for a rat to learn where his shirt tail belonged if a similar practice was in sway here, and everytime a shirt tail parade was pulled. My sympathy goes.to the rats of the class of '99 at Rutgers. * * * * * At Allegheny College recently the freshmen pledges started something new. The frosh as a body, returned their pledge pins. They wanted regulated rushing and decided to wait until the ninth week of school before accepting any further bids. More glory to the freshmen that use their heads for something besides dust collectors. Some schools have a rule against rushing freshmen until the ninth week. Is this not the sensible thing to do? Give the new man a chance to get used to the change to college life. Give him a chance to find out just the advantages your fraternity has to offer. Practice* these two things and not only will the men who accept your bids be more satisfied, and do more good for your fraternity, but you will see a great change for the better in many of the fraternities. Why can't we systematize our rushing here at Auburn? * * * * * At Williams College one of the women's, if you please, dormitories is equipped with a men's check room. Men calling for dates, with a superfluous amount of coats, hats, etc. (probably their fraternity brother's) may deposit them on the banister in the lower hall. Of course the Zoo will not permit boys on the second floor, but you can't hold your derby with one hand and—with the other. Besides it is rather hard on hats to be sat upon. * * * * * No cars for students. Lafayette College recently joined the ranks of those educational institutions which have banned motor vehicles from use by the under graduates; unless they have received a written permission from home and signed up with the dean. This would hardly affect any of the students here, if this were in practice here. Look about and see just how many students driving here are in cars. I'll bet that it is very thrilling, don't you know, to carry the little girl across the aisle skating. You have seen "Collegiate Fords," "Collegiate Trousers," and "Collegiate Lines," but here comes the "Collegiate Prize." It happened this way. The town of Berkley, California awoke one morning to the realization that its "No Parking" signs had been disappearing with monotonous regularity for some time. A raid on forty fraternity houses and several sorority houses of the University of California was organized, by the Chief of Police of Berkley, and netted one of the strangest hauls in the history of crime. It included about 500 signs of every size, shape and variety, and with the inscriptions ranging all the way from "Danger, Cow Path 300 Feet Ahead" to "No Parking, This Space Reserved For Demonstrators," together with a miscellaneous array of life preservers, fire axes, barber poles, and red lanterns. I wonder just what the city of Opelika has furnished in the way of antiques for some of the rooms here. * * * * * Found, a boy who neither drinks, smokes, nor tells risque jokes. That all American pure soap which boasts 99 and 44 hundredths per cent perfection is only 44 hundredths per cent a head of 20-year old Wiley Morse of Alva, Oklahoma's most healthy and physically perfect boy 4-H club member. Morse scored 99 points out of a possible hundred at the health contest at the Oklahoma state fair at Oklahoma City. Not content with physical perfection, Wiley is a senior and an honor student at Alva, and is working his way through school in three years "slinging hash"»in a cafe. He sleeps nine hours at least each night (he is not exposed to Dr. Allison's Physics), eats bulky food, but little meat, and does not drink or smoke. Will wonders never sneeze? It is a "grand and glorious" thing to be able to smoke Old Golds without coughing; keep on singing, playing golf, baseball, tennis and bull shooting by the tender help of Lucky Strikes, and it is also wonderful to be perfect physically and morally. But who wants to be thus afflicted. * * * * * The Filipino students of Temple University, up in Philadelphia, entertained the student body of that institution recently with a program made up of bits of life as one is supposed to meet it in the Philippines. The folk dance, in which the co-eds took part, was especially interesting, mind you, and it was made very clear why there are no fraternities in Philippine Colleges— the natives have no place to attach the pin. You will hear from me next from the Philippine Islands. MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT 2 b 'Benjamin Trovosf— EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in 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 policy. * * * * * I GLANCED through a literary magazine published by a girls' school the other night. I once had an idea that girls minds weren't concerned except casually with the sterner sex. Mind you, I once had that idea. If their thoughts, as expressed in their literary compositions, ever stray to anything except mere man then it is to mere men. Honestly, I've never read quite so much sickening sentimentality at one sitting. I felt all sticky when I'd laid the thing aside, as if I'd been eating not-quite done fudge. It was a case of mistresses sighing like furnaces and writing sonnets to their lovers' eyebrows. Whoever said that the youth of today were through with romance and sentiment and were concerned with only the cold facts of life has not examined the youth in one school that I know of. The only cold thing that I found was a reference to a cold glance which some maiden was complaining of mournfully. I learn something hew every day. * * * * * I WAS LOOKING at some copies of a magazine which was published during the period just before the Civil War the other day. The magazine used as a strong selling point the fact that it was suitable for the most innocent child to read. It bosated that the work of the best writers of the day was presented in its columns. The interesting point is that not one of the contributors of fiction are ever heard of at the present time. Their moral works are utterly forgotten. That is a strong argument for the "Art for art's sake" school. When novels are beautiful and sweet and uplifting they are likely to be untrue to life, therefore not good literature. Oscar Wilde, in the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray, says, "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. It is either well written, or badly written. That is all." Professor Grant P. Showerman argues for less sordidness in literary on the ground of common decency. Thus the two factions clash. The little example of the old magazine which was so uplifting, yet is so utterly forgotten, is indicative that the realism crowd have the edge. An ardent supporter of the Primitivist school once, told me, "If an artist looks at a nude in bronze he sees lines and shades and shadows which together produce a beautiful impression; if a person devoid of artistic appreciation looks at the same bronze he sees an unclothed figure. Therefore the impression is all in the mind of the beholder. The same thing applies to books." Simple, isn't it? However, that doesn't make everybody appi-eciative of art, and thus doesn't remove the likelihood of an immoral subject having a bad effect. Or what have you? * * * * * THE VOCAL accompaniment to my last hair cut: "Hair trimmed? yes, sir. Sit right down. Fine day isn't it? Who do you reckon will win the election? I'm for Hoover. Shall I cut it short on top? But the race will be close. It'll be hard to change the South's vote. Yes it will be a close vote. How about a tonic today? No? Yes the race will be pretty close. A lot of us are going to vote for Hoover. I don't want no Ca'thlic for president; No. sir. The women don't neither. But all the old democrats will vote. That will make it pretty close. Want it washed out today? It would do it good to be singed, really. That's straight. Don't you think that the vote will be pretty close? Of course we can't tell; it might be easy for either of them. But it looks to me like it will be mighty close. How about some of this Stay-Slick? I haven't bet on the election. No sir. It'll be too close for me; that's taking too mueh of a chance. You can't-tell about these close elections; and this will be a close one. . . ." There ought to be a law against loquatious barbers. REVEILLE What sudden bugle calls us in the night And wakes us from a dream that we had shaped; Flinging us sharply up against a fight We thought we had escaped. It is no easy waking, and we win No final peace; our victories are few. But still imperative forces pull us in And sweep us somehow through. Summoned by a supreme and confident power That wakes our sleeping courage like a blow, We rise, half-shaken, to the challenging hour, And answer it—and go. —Louis Untermeyer.

"THE VAGABOND" PRESENTED BY AUBURN PLAYERS MONDAY On Monday night the members of the Auburn Players were entertained with an original presentation, "The Vagabond," written and directed by Charles Rush, member of the Senior Glass. When the foot-lights flashed on, everyone's attention was drawn to the topmost edge of the stage curtain. Here, in a boxed frame, there appeared in brilliant purple luminosity the letters "AP." A few seconds later, the word "presents" in small yellow letters flashed forth. Then, as the curtain slid back, the eager spectators were rewarded with the bright words, "The Vagabond," which appeared just below the word "presents." This bit of ingenuity was devised by Neil Suffich, and the lighting scheme was worked out by Charles Rush. D. A. R. Entertained By Mrs. Basore The lovely home of Mrs. Basore was the scene of one of the most beautiful parties of the season when Mrs. Basore, Mrs. George Petrie and Mrs. B. H. Crenshaw entertained the D. A. R.'s last Tuesday afternoon. Profusions of white chrysanthemums artistically arranged in silver and brass bowls were used in decorating the lower floor which was thrown open to the guests. Mrs. F. W. Parker gave a very interesting talk on Federal Reserve Bank and Miss Miriam Burton reviewed the D. A. R. Magazine for the month. The hostesses served delightful refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes and tea. Mesdames Bohler, Sparrow and Gannon, who are members of other chapters were the guests of the Auburn chapter at this meeting. Mrs. Toomer Guest Of Opeli*-- Club Mrs. S. L. Toomer was the invited guest of the Community Club of Opelika which met at the home of Mrs. W. B. Andrews last Tuesday. An interesting feature of the program was the address made by Mrs. Toomer on Citizenship. OF BIRMINGHAM The Music Department of the Woman's Club met on Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Doner. A very enjoyable program on the Romantic Age in music was given. Both are prominent members of the club. The attention of the audience now reverted to the stage setting. Everything was arranged in a realistic portrayal of an out-door scene. A rosy crescent shown through a tree whWh loomed above the top curtain. Rocks, leaves, sticks, and logs were placed on the stage to suggest a typical spot in the woods, and, as a suitable finishing touch, a mellow fire, a real fire, glowed beside a log. A pail hung over the fire and from it came romantic odors. Mabel Johnson and Rush were sitting on rocks near the ifre. Rush played the part of the vagabond and Miss Johnson was his wife. A tense scene that sooner or later usually happens between husband and wife was reaching its climax. Angry words were flashing back and forth when in slouched three hoboes, played by Has-kins Williams, Murff Hawkins, and S. D. Rains.' They lumbered over to the fire and began playing, Rains on the guitar and Williams on the mandolin. Soon their entrance strains and dreamy melodies brought peace to the hearts of the angry couple. The play, a Rush production, was well supported by both plot and players. As the curtain swept to, leaving Neil Suffich, who played the part of a wandering minstrel, playing softly on his violin, thunderous applause rang forth. Everyone was well pleased with the performance. The players have much talent to display and are making real advances this year. Their major productions should be well worth seeing. Miss Fullan Hostess at Lovely Party Miss Elysbeth Fullan was hostess at a delightful party Thursday evening when she entertained a number of friends at bridge. A color scheme of white and yellow was effectively carried out in the decorations, using quantities of chrysanthemums artistically arranged in silver bowls and baskets throughout the rooms where tables were placed. Miss Marie Sewell scoring high among the ladies was presented lovely hankerchiefs, and Dr. Pierre, high among the men was presented a double deck of cards. A salad course, further carrying out the color scheme, was served. Thirty-two guests enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the hostess. Sigma Phi Epsilon Celebrates Anniversary The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity celebrated its Twentieth Anniversary Wednesday evening at a most enjoyable "get-to-gether" party at their home on Magnolia Street.

Mrs. Petrie Entertains Friends at Bridge Party Mrs. Petrie, in her charming manner, entertained two tables at bridge Saturday, November 4 at her home on Thatch Avenue. The rooms were effectively decorated in Seasonal flowers. After a series of games, delightful refreshments were served.

Howard Chappelle and ing held here. Visiting representatives at this meeting were special guests of the management at the Fair. The main attractions were held in the Ag Hangar over on Ag Hill. J. R. Taylor, Jr., president of the Ag Club, which annually sponsors the Ag Fair and is one of the foremost organizations on the campus, welcomed the crowd to the occasion, then introduced the announcer for the evening, Prof. W. E. Sewell of the Animal Husbandry department, who then took charge. • The spectacular event of the evening was a premature presentation of the. Auburn-Tulane football game, in which Auburn emerged victorious to the count of 12-6. Prof. "Fatty" Robinson was the star of .the game who constituted an impenetrable Auburn line throughout the contest. Prof. "Goofy" Guyton, his cohort back, succeeded in galloping across into the "promised land" for Auburn's two counters. Tulane's Billie Banker, Rat Stucky, was powerless in the attack; Prof. "Pee Wee" Sewell, the lone Greenie linesman, was also ineffective against his miniature (240 pound) foe. -The Green Wave was absolutely powerless in the grasp of "Fatty"—Auburn's line. No casualties resulted. In the annual wheelbarrow polo event between Freshmen and Sopho-tnores, a heated contest ensued, in which Sophs finally emerged victors after playing an extra two-minute period. The final score was 5-4, Sophomores. "Pee Wee" Wright, Ag Junior, received the popular approval as hero of the contest, serving in the capacity of referee.

Hanover (Continued on page 6) a Sheriff" Lee Joins Ranks of Benedicts The Auburnites return from the Crescent City, and among them none more proud, happier, more supremely satisfied t h a n Coach "Sheriff" Lee. Why? There can be only one reason—our youngest coach is married. Coach Lee left Auburn 'Thursday night, being accompanied by Homer Wright. Shortly after his arrival in the Gulf City, he and Miss Gertrude-Hall, of Gloster, Mississippi, made a short visit to the home of Rev. Hupp, pastor of the First Baptist Church of New Orleans, remaining just long enough for Miss Hall to assume the name of Mrs. Lee. The only attendants at the quiet wedding were Homer Wright and Moon Ducote. Mrs. Lee is the daughter of Rev. B. B. Hall, pastor of the Baptist Church, Gloster, Mississippi. The newlyweds will return to Auburn Monday, where they will reside in the Brewer Hotel. Funds Solicited For Welfare Chest Students and Townspeople Are Asked to Contribute Generously The people of Auburn, on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13 and 14, will have an opportunity to subscribe to the Welfare Chest of Lee County. This Welfare Chest takes care of the charity work in the county. The money will be used chiefly in giving necessary medical aid to children who are otherwise unable to have the proper medical treatment. A generous contribution for this will be the only call this year. The campaign in Auburn being sponsored by the Woman's Club. Mrs. Corprew, children's welfare worker of Lee County, fully understands the needs of children, and asks for the earnest cooperation of- all citizens. A similar drive is nearing' conclusion in Opelika. Lions Club of Auburn has already subscribed two hundred dollars. The following women will have charge of the soliciting of funds in the designated districts: Mrs. Fun-chess, South College Street, including Miller Avenue; Mrs. Biggin, North College Street; Miss Lottie Wright, North Gay Street; Mrs. Homer Wright, South Gay Street; Mrs. Creel, Glenn Avenue; Mrs. Eaton, East Magnolia Street; Mrs. Toomer, West Magnolia Street; Mrs. J. T. Williamson, Thatch Avenue; Miss Marie Sewell, Opelika Road; Mrs. Allison, uptown. Omicron Delta Kappa Sends Band To Game Amount Necessary to Defray Expenses Raised In Short Time Addison McGhee, president of the Omega Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, was elated yesterday over the success of the drive to send the Auburn Band to New Orleans. * "It was a splendid show of spirit," he said, "for all four classes to vote unanimously to contribute to the fund; also, the contributions from the Athletic Association were greatly appreciated." Over six hundred dollars was needed to defray the expenses of the band on this trip. This amount and more was subscribed in less than three days. This is another incident that goes to show that Alabama Poly has a powerful capacity for putting big things over when everyone gets behind and pushes. AG. FAIR IS BIGGEST EVENT OF PAST WEEK ON AUBURN CAMPUS Attendance Breaks Record of Former Fairs GRIDIRON GAME IS STAGED Horticultural Booths Are Feature of Display Ranging with the very best student performances, and equalling its own high record of former years, the annual Ag Fair, staged here Friday evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, was indeed a colorful event, and a pronounced credit to the College of Agriculture. Being under the management of Messrs. C. T. Bailey, T. R. Home, J. R. Taylor, Jr., and N. Mer-riwether, prominent Ag students and active Ag Club members, the Fair was strictly a student performance, operating under exclusive student management and financing. Attendance is said to have excelled any similar previous occasion of this kind here by far; several hundred students, professors, townspeople and visitors' witnessed the unique occasion. Immediately following the plaudi-tory send-off given the Tiger football squad and Auburn Band at the station at 7:45 p. m., en route to New Orleans for a fierce struggle with the Tulane Greenies Saturday afternoon, attention was directed to the scene of the Fair, to which a vast aggregation thronged. Special arrangements were made for the attendance of State YMCA Student Council representatives after their evening banquet in the Eastern Star dining hall, as a part of the state meeting program be- (Continued on page 6) Y. M. C. A. Student Council Convenes With 25 student representatives from five educational institutions in the State and several prominent Y. M. C. A. officials present, the State Y. M. C. A. Student Council opened its semi-annual meeting here Friday evening with a banquet given by the local Y. M. C. A. members at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Representatives from the University of Alabama, Jacksonville Normal, Birmingham-Southern, Howard College and Auburn were present. At the banquet held in the Masonic Hall, O. R. Magill, regional Y. M. C. A. secretary from Atlanta, delivered the address of the evening. W. EI\ Edwards, president of the loc-.i Y. M. C. A. made a short talk welcoming the delegates and speakers to Auburn. Later in the evening the assemblage attended the Ag Fair, an annual celebration given by the Agricultural students. Dr. O. C. Carmichael, President Alabama College, and O. R.

(Continued on page 6) BOHLER MAKES FIRST CALL FOR ASPIRANTS FOR BASKET HONORS Prospects Are Very Bright For Another Good Team This Year Faculty Indulges In Very Exclusive "Hop Last night the faculty was supposed to have had a dance. This is not stated as a fact, and the public is warned against accepting it as authoritative, for the proceedings in the gym were shrouded in a veil of mystery. True, one on the drill field might have heard an orchestra, playing, so it seemed, in the gym; this gives added weight to the supposition that there was a dance there. However, the affair (take for granted it was a dance) was pronounced so very exclusvie that not even a reporter from the town paper was allowed to catch a glimpse of the probably magnificently decorated interior. Look for more "news" of the faculty in the future; if what happened last night is any indication this material will be extremely difficult to obtain and should be of unusual value, as is the case with rare things. »> By Dick Jones Superhumn football rocking in its biggest swing of the 1928 season and the Auburn Tigers just hitting their best stride, Coach George M. Bohler, with the aid of Coach "Sheriff" Lee and Captain Frank DuBose, will hold their initial Basketball practice Monday night at 7:00 P. M., in the Auburn Alumni gymnasium. Prospects are bright for another good team this year and in order to produce such, the Coaches are going to get off to as early a start as possible. This will help them to get into real shape before the campaign opens around Christmas. Advance reports predict the largest squad of aspirants to ever report for the first practice in the Plains, on the hard-wood, will answer the initial call Monday. No stiff practice will be held. Handling the big round ball in Bohler's fashion will be about the main drill on the menu. Bohler's style is going to need an early start in order to get off to a flying start at the first sound of the opening whistle. Four letter men are expected to re-return along with Manager "Pee Wee" Wright, and five scrubs. Lettermen tio return are Captain Frank DuBose, Smith, L. James, and Mullins. Scrubs who are expected to return are "Pop" Paterson, Vines, Joe Kennedy, Pete Booth, and Lawrence Chamblee. Chamblee is the only man still out for football and will not be able to answer the call until after Thanksgiving. Lost by graauation were four of the best cage men the Tigers boosted of in quite a few full moons. They have all been outstanding players on the Varsity squad for the past' three years. Two of them having held down the job of Captain. These four men are Fob James, Ebb James, Jelly Akin, and Buck Ellis. Fob James was captain last year and Buck Ellis was captain year before last. The team will be strengthened a great deal by the Sophomore's of last year's "rat" team. Three new men to step up will be Chappelle, Pate, and Harmond. All three of these men are real hustlers of the indoor sport and Bohler will have to find a place for them on his team before the sea- (Continued on page 6) In a blaze of glory, the departing team's farewell party, eight hundred strong, led by the Auburn band, surged through the streets of town to the station with a mighty clamor. Once at the depot the crowds massed in one huge body and thunderous, ear-splitting cheers echoed back and forth across the plains. As the train drew into the station the mob crouched for an "Eat 'em up, Tiger!"—the passengers on the train were wide-eyed with astonishment-— several were seen holding their fingers in their ears. The band and team boarded the train and the band struck up the tune of "Touchdown, Auburn"—the crowds went wild. The engine puffed—the Tigers were off to make a tiny ripple out of the Green Wave. Dr. Petrie Talks At Rotary Club Recounts War Activities and Describes first Armistice Celebration Dr. George Petrie delivered a most interesting Armistice address at the Rotary Club meeting at the Thomas Hotel, Thursday. Looking back over the decade that has elapsed since the close of the World War, Dr. Petrie recounted the war activities here at Auburn and the circumstances surrounding the real celebration of the Armistice on November 11th, 1918. "We thought that the Armistice would mark the beginning of a millennium in which there could never be any possibility of another word war," said Dr. Petrie, "but today we see more troops under arms in Europe than before the outbreak in 1914. Dr. Petrie then touched upon the results of the Versailles Treaty and how that the ten years just passed has shown the many mistakes it con-trained. The method of reparation payment by Germany is yet to be solved, he said. In addition the types of government now set up in Italy and Russian trangress all our ideals of democracy which we thought would be substantiated with the overthrow of Germany's autocracy. In conclusion, Dr. Petrie stated that the present frank attitude characterizing the thinking of today will doubltless result in much that is desirable in future years. Visitors present from Opelika were Curtis Roberts, A. W. Burton, Claude Summers, John Denson, and Reed Barnes. George Phillips, an Auburn alumnus of Columbus, Ga., was also a visitor. Prof. M. T. Fullan conducted the installation of a new club member, Prof. C. Mr Hixon. Auburn Band Attracts Comment At N. Orleans Gives 3 Mile Parade At Noon Saturday in Crescent City The Auburn Band, after a parade at noon today, some three miles in length, through downtown' New Orleans, went on the field of the football stadium between halves. The musicians featured a new arrangement of the Alma Mater song. The score, which was given its first public rendition at this time, was arranged by Edwin Dicey, organist at the Grand Theatre, Montgomery. The new arrangement is in a slightly higher key and is conceded to be much better than the one formerly used. The Alma Mater song was written by Bill Wood, a member of the class of '26: By Carol Porter Tulane defeats Auburn by narrow margin of one point. Tuxworth played best game of the year, making consistent gains through Tulane's line, completing both of Auburn's drives for the Tulane goal. The Plainsman passing attack showed continued improvement and many passes were completed for long gains. Game is unusual because of few penalties. 1st Quarter Banker kicked off to Callahan on Auburn's 10-yard line and Callahan returned 50 yards to Tulane's 40 yard line and almost got away for a touchdown. Crawford lost two yards on the first play. Crawford passed but was incomplete. Auburn attempted a place kick but Harkins' pass from center went high and Ingram attempted to run but lost two yards on the plan and the ball went over to Tulane. Banker made 6 yards through Auburn's line on the next two plays. Armstrong went 45 yards over left tackle on the next play for Tulane's first touchdown and Banker kicked goal for the extra point. After Armstrong's 45-yard run through Auburn's forward wall Auburn swung to the defense and kicked without handling the ball much during the first quarter but drew her line close together. The line held better in the first quarter of this game than any other battle this year. For Auburn fumbled a punt on their 10-yard line and Tulane recovered but was only able to carry it to the Tigers 2-yard line where the Plainsmen held them for downs. The frist quarter ended as Auburn punted out to mid-field, i Score: Auburn 0, Tulane 7. 2nd Quarter Auburn took the ball on her 30- yard line. Tuxworth punted on the first play to Armstrong who was forced out of bounds on Tulane's 32-yard line. Tutene carried the ball to Auburn's 20-yard line on line bucks and end runs. Auburn held tight for the next three plays and Tulane failed to gain so they resorted to the air and Armstrong passed to Roberts which netted 20 yards and Tulane's second touchdown. Banker failed to kick goal. Auburn ended the second quarter strong with overhead plays. The Plainsmen made three first downs to carry the ball to Tulane's 30-yard line. On the next play, Tuxworth passed to Shannon which was good for ten yards but Shannon fumbled and Tulane recovered on the Greenies 20-yard line. Score: Auburn 0; Tulane 13. 3rd Quarter Ingram kicked to Armstrong on his five yard line and he returned to 3rd yard line. A pass from Armstrong was intercepted by Peake on 33 yard line. Sellers hit center for five yards. Tuxworth ran around left end for twenty seven yards. Sellers went through center for six yards. Tuxworth fumbled but Ingram recovered for a ten yard gain. Ball on Tulane's 13 yard line. Tuxworth went around left end for a touchdown. Ingram failed to kick goal. Ingram kicked to Banker on five yard line and he returned to 30-yard line.

There are always some chronic complainers and objectors who could find fault with the celestial management of the Pearly City itself. The present trouble seems to be that some town people are of the opinion that the college should not operate a cafeteria. This sentiment is expressed in a letter published on this page, written by Mr. Jack Tamblyn, a meat market proprietor of Auburn. The laissez-faire form of government will not work in the administration of a college. The college must make it its business to look after the students in other ways than simply providing knowledge spigots for them to turn on. The housing disciplining, feeding, amusing, of the students must become to some extent the business of the college. We need not go into this point. Every college has its dormitories, restaurants, athletic plants, theatres and many of them own movie houses and other equipment desirable in college life. Many colleges require students to eat in a central mess-hall. It is rare that a school has no restaurant. Auburn is only doing what other schools do, and what is necessary, when a cafeteria is operated where students can get sanitary, healthful, expertly prepared, cheap food in the quantities and at the times that they desire. The cafeteria is not a commercial proposition. The college is not operating it as a source of income. It is one of the means by which the college is rendering service to the sons of the tax-payers of the state in making it possible for them to acquire an education under the most favorable conditions. It is recognized everywhere that the college is perfectly justified in reaching outside the classroom and aiding students in other matters which are essential. The college students are not brought to Auburn to provide customers for boarding houses, but to become educated, and it is the business of the administration to facilitate the accomplishment of that object. We cannot agree with Mr. Tamblyn in his belief that it is not necessary for the college to operate the cafeteria. It is necessary if the college is to render the greatest possible service to the student body. The Desire for Surcease From Monotony Most of us regard routine as a personal fiend which stupefies variety with a deadly overpowering ruthlessness. We say that routine is a noisome, consuming, iron-clad devil of oppression; that we are snowed under by a never ceasing avalanche of prosy drudging in a rut. Variation seems to be inexorably smothered and suppressed. Just what do we mean when we think of variety? Isn't it usually that we conceive of an indefinite interim of time in which we depart radically from the consistency of devotion to a single purpose? Always the thought of variation or variety quickens and stirs our minds to visioning something just beyond the probable. They are like two Ariels and appear in assumed forms to our undiscerning eyes. Just when we have tired a bit of pursuing one form, a new desire makes its appearance before us and we are off on a seemingly new conquest without having attained the ultimate satisfaction of achieving the first enterprise. Variation and variety are clever. They work in relays and never become fatigued. Also, they possess the magic of being continuously different and attractive. We somehow like it, don't we? At least until the chase or perhaps the pace becomes exhausting to ourselves. Yet we expend the last iota of effort in a desire to assuage our piqued interest.' Our ego refuses to admit that we have run after something without even successfully detaining and despoiling that something of all we covet. For after all, aren't we making much whoopee? Haven't we seen a devil of a lot of life while we are gadding about? Yes, perhaps we have. About as much of real life as variation and variety design to use as disguises, while they outstrip us in that tantalizing quest they tempt us to follow. Then we end up in the blind alley where we have heedlessly run. We have ceased to furnish Variation and Variety with amusement —a sardonic, impish amusement, because we are no longer strong enough to stand the pace—and moreover our pockets are most deplorably and completely empty. So the blind alley, and a jarring bump as we careen into its wall—for our eyes, until the last instant are fixed on the sly seductive enchantresses. Variation and Variety look disgustingly tawdry as they speed out of sight. We sit down to rest our aching limbs and blistered feet— and say to ourselves that we have been terribly disillusioned and that we are going to become very bitter. We can even detect the first sym-toms of bitterness already. Suppose we had sat down before we chased off and lost our breath and blistered our feet and had done a bit of comparing and analyzing and some patient defining of values -and meanings? A single purpose can conceivably have a diverse composition of the elements which form it. May it not? It naturally requires a systematized method to competently weld all those elements and to realize the achievement of that purpose, does it not? That realization can be very concrete, very comfortable and enjoyable and affluent. Why not make the process of welding those elements which we groaningly refer to as routine—an eager pursuit. Those elements which are here in college for us to pick and choose from are not commonly called Variation and Variety—but they can be just as intriguing, and they are more real and permanent. Perhaps they are not so impossibly elusive after all as are the imps we instinctly think of as Variation and Variety. Letters to the Editor Editor, The Plainsman: While on a visit to Loachapoka, Alabama —a city no great distance from Auburn— it was my fortune to meet an Auburn man that was interesting. Not that all Auburn men are interesting however, but this man suggested something that is interesting. As I was chatting with a friend, a native of the city, my attention was drawn to what seemed to be an old deformed man, a pityful sight it was, coming towards us. He came slowly and his head and shoulders were so drawn forward and down as to be almost on a level with his knees. My heart softened at the sight of the old man. Sights like that do take one's heart out. I inquired of my friend who the old gentleman was and suggested that perhaps something could be done for him. Then came the shock of my life. "Something be done for him" cried my friend in astonishment, "and don't you know who that man is?" I turned to again look at the unfortunate creature who was quite near us. I was dumbfounded. I was shocked beyond speech. Regaining my speech, I asked my friend to please for the Lord's sake tell me what was that enormous weight hanging around the old man's body. It is some strange religious penitence the old man is performing by such torture? Or maybe he is a criminal, I thought, and that is his punishment. But now the bent old form was so close that I could see the weight glittered and was not a single weight, but hundreds of small golden discs and triangles and squares. I could hold myself no longer. "Tell me for goodness sake, what does this mean. Why should this old man suffer?" I begged. "Suffer" replied my friend, "why, that man is Cy Whippletree, Auburn's most honored and distinguished graduate and our leading citizen. That, that you see hanging from his watch chain is not a weight. Those are some of his honorary society keys. He was a member of every honorary society at Auburn." "Oh, said I. "He is a great scholar then! "No" replied my friend, strangely enough, he can't even write his own name nor can he read a line." "Well, that's unusual" I ventured, "but I suppose he was a glorious leader among the boys and he must have led his societies on to do great things for Auburn." My friend smiled and said to me, "that wasn't necessary. All they did was to have a luncheon or banquet once in a while. Nevertheless we are proud of him, because belonging to honor societies means a great deal you know" . . . . . I passed out gently into a fit of screaming contortions Now back to what this sugests. I would suggest that we increase the number of our honorary societies to double the number we now have and use tobacco tags—which are very light and shiney—instead of keys. This would enable one to belong to many more societies without fear of endangering one's health. Also I would suggest that each society build for its private use, a nice croquet court. This would greatly aid the school and make membership in the societies much more desirable. IVANHOE SILVIA. °g AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « Editor, The Plainsman, Auburn, Alabama. Dear Mr. Editor: I am sure a few thoughts of mine in your paper would do no harm, and may be a means of starting a thought along a new line. The college does not have National, State, County or City taxes to pay, and with a few more advantages the towns people of Auburn would be vastly benefitted if the college took over a few of the town's business interests. Every one in town has to be kept warm, mostly by the use of coal. As the college uses some coal I suggest that the college buy out a coal yard, (Mr. Beasley's being the most convenient), and let present owner with his helpers work on the college pay roll. This would give the college, college boys, professors and towns people coal at mine cost plus freight. This would save to the people of Auburn taxes, licenses, profits and salaries. I am sure I would be glad to see the college take over a garage, a gas station, ice plant and one or two other essential businesses on the same basis. I do not see any necessity in taking over restaurants, grocery stores or markets, as the cafeteria is becoming so popular that everybody supplies their wants from same. Trusting that the editor will see fit to publish the above, I am Yours truly, JACK TAMBLYN. Friendship Minor incidents establish us as kindred spirits. We perceive that we view life from the same angle, that our humor takes the same twist, that we indulge in the same follies, or that we have a mutual fondness for onion soup. Prexy's Paiagraphs By Bradford Knapp The companionship, the fraternizing, the talking it over when the "gang" is all present, are pleasant memories of college life and often they are really profitable occasions. I believe students generally call them "Bull Sessions," a somewhat inelle-gant but often entirely appropriate des-scription of these casual and informal gatherings just to talk. How much effect do "Bull Sessions" have upon scholarship? Only an intimate knowledge of individual students and the way they spend their time would answer this question. If your scholarship is low, if you are on probation, if you have been warned, if you dread examinations, just set down in your book at night how much time for a week or a day you have wasted in "Bull Sessions." In some cases if the truth were entered on the record we would change the entry from "Dropped for failure in scholarship" to the more truthful "Dropped for too much 'Bull Session'." Don't work all the time. Enjoy the companionship and pleasant session when you talk it over with the fellows. But look out for too much "Bull Session." * * * * * Own your own text-book. "Own your own." That would be a good slogan. You cannot do yourself justice and you seriously decrease your chances for passing in all your work if you are depending upon borrowing a book from someone else. Recently, in one house, three men were found deficient in a subject. Inquiry developed the fact that four men were trying to get their lessons out of one text book. Your parents cannot afford the four or five hundred dollars required for a year's work in college and risk having you fail in part for lack of text-books. You are investing your time and your money. If you were investing them in a building, you would insure the building. Insure your investment in a college education by buying text books and, may I suggest also, applying yourself to the task of mastering their contents. It might help and might save what would otherwise be almost a complete loss. BROTHER CONE WILL TAKE THE COLLECTION Please raise and sing our weekly ditty "She was only a pirate's daughter but oh boy, what a Kidd." Bro. Max Jones and his mental deficient Morons will attempt to accompany us. * * » * * * * * THERE ARE NONE IN AUBURN Here's to the Professor who— Never tells a joke in the classroom, Will not horse you about a cut or two, Is married, Never won the Greek medal at the Seminary, or if he did it never mentions the fact. * * * * * * * * MORE POWER TO THEM It is rumored that girls of the W. C. A. have composed the following song to the tune of "Ball in the Basket." Clothes in the Windows; Somebody's washed them. Can't you hear those matrons sigh, (Inhale—exhale) "We'll reform this school, Make them know the rule That their can't hang on high." (Repeat if allowed to) P. S. Maybe this better be put in the appendix so that it can be removed. * * * * * * * * MIGHT HELP If basket ball gives girls graceful, well-formed arms, perhaps more of our co-eds should go out for track. * * * * * * * * DOGGONE There's a certain college professor we know whose weak point is dogs. We even heard rumors of a story that he carried his hound hoftte from a hunting expedition because he looked tired around the eyes. But we ask you doggonnit, if said college professor started putting on dog and became dogomatic about it, would he be going to the dogs or just be doggy? Hot Dog! What a doggerel! * * * * * * * * NOT US! Au Auburn M. D. says that in 50 years kissing will be a thing of the past. Who'll care then? * * * * * * * * ADVICE So freshmen e'er it grow too late While you still have ifs and buts, Sit you down and ruminate, Or like some prof you'll go nuts. * * * * * * * * ITS EXPECTED OF ENGINES About the dumbest statement of the year is attributed to our good friend Lieut. Higgins (First Lieut. Adjutant D. O. L.). He pulls this swift one, "Now I hope I haven't missed giving rifles to any of the new students. All those without arms, hold up your hands." * * * * * * * * • Frosh home on a vacation: Gee Dad, I often lie awake half the night thinking of what she has said to me. His Dad: Take a tip from me son, or you'll soon be lying awake all night listening to it. WITH OTHER COLLEGES Rutgers College gets the ice cream cake. Each year the freshmen during one of their, pajama parades are carried out to the race track wheer they circle the cinder path according to the year they will graduate. For instance, only recently they chased their noses for 32 laps. If you ask me this is a splendid method of finding out track men of long distance calibre. It would not take long for a rat to learn where his shirt tail belonged if a similar practice was in sway here, and everytime a shirt tail parade was pulled. My sympathy goes.to the rats of the class of '99 at Rutgers. * * * * * At Allegheny College recently the freshmen pledges started something new. The frosh as a body, returned their pledge pins. They wanted regulated rushing and decided to wait until the ninth week of school before accepting any further bids. More glory to the freshmen that use their heads for something besides dust collectors. Some schools have a rule against rushing freshmen until the ninth week. Is this not the sensible thing to do? Give the new man a chance to get used to the change to college life. Give him a chance to find out just the advantages your fraternity has to offer. Practice* these two things and not only will the men who accept your bids be more satisfied, and do more good for your fraternity, but you will see a great change for the better in many of the fraternities. Why can't we systematize our rushing here at Auburn? * * * * * At Williams College one of the women's, if you please, dormitories is equipped with a men's check room. Men calling for dates, with a superfluous amount of coats, hats, etc. (probably their fraternity brother's) may deposit them on the banister in the lower hall. Of course the Zoo will not permit boys on the second floor, but you can't hold your derby with one hand and—with the other. Besides it is rather hard on hats to be sat upon. * * * * * No cars for students. Lafayette College recently joined the ranks of those educational institutions which have banned motor vehicles from use by the under graduates; unless they have received a written permission from home and signed up with the dean. This would hardly affect any of the students here, if this were in practice here. Look about and see just how many students driving here are in cars. I'll bet that it is very thrilling, don't you know, to carry the little girl across the aisle skating. You have seen "Collegiate Fords," "Collegiate Trousers," and "Collegiate Lines," but here comes the "Collegiate Prize." It happened this way. The town of Berkley, California awoke one morning to the realization that its "No Parking" signs had been disappearing with monotonous regularity for some time. A raid on forty fraternity houses and several sorority houses of the University of California was organized, by the Chief of Police of Berkley, and netted one of the strangest hauls in the history of crime. It included about 500 signs of every size, shape and variety, and with the inscriptions ranging all the way from "Danger, Cow Path 300 Feet Ahead" to "No Parking, This Space Reserved For Demonstrators," together with a miscellaneous array of life preservers, fire axes, barber poles, and red lanterns. I wonder just what the city of Opelika has furnished in the way of antiques for some of the rooms here. * * * * * Found, a boy who neither drinks, smokes, nor tells risque jokes. That all American pure soap which boasts 99 and 44 hundredths per cent perfection is only 44 hundredths per cent a head of 20-year old Wiley Morse of Alva, Oklahoma's most healthy and physically perfect boy 4-H club member. Morse scored 99 points out of a possible hundred at the health contest at the Oklahoma state fair at Oklahoma City. Not content with physical perfection, Wiley is a senior and an honor student at Alva, and is working his way through school in three years "slinging hash"»in a cafe. He sleeps nine hours at least each night (he is not exposed to Dr. Allison's Physics), eats bulky food, but little meat, and does not drink or smoke. Will wonders never sneeze? It is a "grand and glorious" thing to be able to smoke Old Golds without coughing; keep on singing, playing golf, baseball, tennis and bull shooting by the tender help of Lucky Strikes, and it is also wonderful to be perfect physically and morally. But who wants to be thus afflicted. * * * * * The Filipino students of Temple University, up in Philadelphia, entertained the student body of that institution recently with a program made up of bits of life as one is supposed to meet it in the Philippines. The folk dance, in which the co-eds took part, was especially interesting, mind you, and it was made very clear why there are no fraternities in Philippine Colleges— the natives have no place to attach the pin. You will hear from me next from the Philippine Islands. MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT 2 b 'Benjamin Trovosf— EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in 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 policy. * * * * * I GLANCED through a literary magazine published by a girls' school the other night. I once had an idea that girls minds weren't concerned except casually with the sterner sex. Mind you, I once had that idea. If their thoughts, as expressed in their literary compositions, ever stray to anything except mere man then it is to mere men. Honestly, I've never read quite so much sickening sentimentality at one sitting. I felt all sticky when I'd laid the thing aside, as if I'd been eating not-quite done fudge. It was a case of mistresses sighing like furnaces and writing sonnets to their lovers' eyebrows. Whoever said that the youth of today were through with romance and sentiment and were concerned with only the cold facts of life has not examined the youth in one school that I know of. The only cold thing that I found was a reference to a cold glance which some maiden was complaining of mournfully. I learn something hew every day. * * * * * I WAS LOOKING at some copies of a magazine which was published during the period just before the Civil War the other day. The magazine used as a strong selling point the fact that it was suitable for the most innocent child to read. It bosated that the work of the best writers of the day was presented in its columns. The interesting point is that not one of the contributors of fiction are ever heard of at the present time. Their moral works are utterly forgotten. That is a strong argument for the "Art for art's sake" school. When novels are beautiful and sweet and uplifting they are likely to be untrue to life, therefore not good literature. Oscar Wilde, in the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray, says, "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. It is either well written, or badly written. That is all." Professor Grant P. Showerman argues for less sordidness in literary on the ground of common decency. Thus the two factions clash. The little example of the old magazine which was so uplifting, yet is so utterly forgotten, is indicative that the realism crowd have the edge. An ardent supporter of the Primitivist school once, told me, "If an artist looks at a nude in bronze he sees lines and shades and shadows which together produce a beautiful impression; if a person devoid of artistic appreciation looks at the same bronze he sees an unclothed figure. Therefore the impression is all in the mind of the beholder. The same thing applies to books." Simple, isn't it? However, that doesn't make everybody appi-eciative of art, and thus doesn't remove the likelihood of an immoral subject having a bad effect. Or what have you? * * * * * THE VOCAL accompaniment to my last hair cut: "Hair trimmed? yes, sir. Sit right down. Fine day isn't it? Who do you reckon will win the election? I'm for Hoover. Shall I cut it short on top? But the race will be close. It'll be hard to change the South's vote. Yes it will be a close vote. How about a tonic today? No? Yes the race will be pretty close. A lot of us are going to vote for Hoover. I don't want no Ca'thlic for president; No. sir. The women don't neither. But all the old democrats will vote. That will make it pretty close. Want it washed out today? It would do it good to be singed, really. That's straight. Don't you think that the vote will be pretty close? Of course we can't tell; it might be easy for either of them. But it looks to me like it will be mighty close. How about some of this Stay-Slick? I haven't bet on the election. No sir. It'll be too close for me; that's taking too mueh of a chance. You can't-tell about these close elections; and this will be a close one. . . ." There ought to be a law against loquatious barbers. REVEILLE What sudden bugle calls us in the night And wakes us from a dream that we had shaped; Flinging us sharply up against a fight We thought we had escaped. It is no easy waking, and we win No final peace; our victories are few. But still imperative forces pull us in And sweep us somehow through. Summoned by a supreme and confident power That wakes our sleeping courage like a blow, We rise, half-shaken, to the challenging hour, And answer it—and go. —Louis Untermeyer.

Woman's Club Meets With Mrs. Allison The regular meeting of the Woman's Club was held on Thursday afternoon at the home of the president, Mrs. Fred Alison. It was decided to present in the spring, a pageant, which will be a community project. The pageant will be one that depicts the history of Auburn; it was written by Mrs. Herman Jones. Mrs. Judd, who was the, delegate from the Auburn Club to the Fifth District Meeting in Ashland, gave a report of the meeting.

Miss Zoe Dobbs Makes Lecture Tour for Auburn Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean of Women and social director, has traveled and plans more extensive traveling over the state making speeches and representing Auburn. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week Miss Dobbs attended the National P. T. A. at Tuscaloosa, Ala. The meeting was held on the campus of the University of Alabama and was attended by about three hundred and fifty people, among whom were some of the most famous national leaders. Dr. Knapp and several other Auburn people and teachers were in attendance. Miss Dobbs states that Dr. Knapp's speech on Thursday night made a deep impression on everyone present. On Wednesday Miss Dobbs spoke at a luncheon and the next day at one of the regular sessions. In a few days Miss Dobbs is to speak before the Kiwanians of Columbus at one of their weekly luncheons. This will be the second successive year she has spoken before this group. An invitation has been extended Miss Dobbs to give a series of lectures in north and south Alabama on "European Literature Since 1840." This trip will begin November 27th if she decides to accept the invitation. PERSONALS Mrs. Toomer Returns From Meeting of Clubs Mrs. S. L.

"THE VAGABOND" PRESENTED BY AUBURN PLAYERS MONDAY On Monday night the members of the Auburn Players were entertained with an original presentation, "The Vagabond," written and directed by Charles Rush, member of the Senior Glass. When the foot-lights flashed on, everyone's attention was drawn to the topmost edge of the stage curtain. Here, in a boxed frame, there appeared in brilliant purple luminosity the letters "AP." A few seconds later, the word "presents" in small yellow letters flashed forth. Then, as the curtain slid back, the eager spectators were rewarded with the bright words, "The Vagabond," which appeared just below the word "presents." This bit of ingenuity was devised by Neil Suffich, and the lighting scheme was worked out by Charles Rush. D. A. R. Entertained By Mrs. Basore The lovely home of Mrs. Basore was the scene of one of the most beautiful parties of the season when Mrs. Basore, Mrs. George Petrie and Mrs. B. H. Crenshaw entertained the D. A. R.'s last Tuesday afternoon. Profusions of white chrysanthemums artistically arranged in silver and brass bowls were used in decorating the lower floor which was thrown open to the guests. Mrs. F. W. Parker gave a very interesting talk on Federal Reserve Bank and Miss Miriam Burton reviewed the D. A. R. Magazine for the month. The hostesses served delightful refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes and tea. Mesdames Bohler, Sparrow and Gannon, who are members of other chapters were the guests of the Auburn chapter at this meeting. Mrs. Toomer Guest Of Opeli*-- Club Mrs. S. L. Toomer was the invited guest of the Community Club of Opelika which met at the home of Mrs. W. B. Andrews last Tuesday. An interesting feature of the program was the address made by Mrs. Toomer on Citizenship. OF BIRMINGHAM The Music Department of the Woman's Club met on Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Doner. A very enjoyable program on the Romantic Age in music was given. Both are prominent members of the club. The attention of the audience now reverted to the stage setting. Everything was arranged in a realistic portrayal of an out-door scene. A rosy crescent shown through a tree whWh loomed above the top curtain. Rocks, leaves, sticks, and logs were placed on the stage to suggest a typical spot in the woods, and, as a suitable finishing touch, a mellow fire, a real fire, glowed beside a log. A pail hung over the fire and from it came romantic odors. Mabel Johnson and Rush were sitting on rocks near the ifre. Rush played the part of the vagabond and Miss Johnson was his wife. A tense scene that sooner or later usually happens between husband and wife was reaching its climax. Angry words were flashing back and forth when in slouched three hoboes, played by Has-kins Williams, Murff Hawkins, and S. D. Rains.' They lumbered over to the fire and began playing, Rains on the guitar and Williams on the mandolin. Soon their entrance strains and dreamy melodies brought peace to the hearts of the angry couple. The play, a Rush production, was well supported by both plot and players. As the curtain swept to, leaving Neil Suffich, who played the part of a wandering minstrel, playing softly on his violin, thunderous applause rang forth. Everyone was well pleased with the performance. The players have much talent to display and are making real advances this year. Their major productions should be well worth seeing.

Taylor, Jr., president of the Ag Club, which annually sponsors the Ag Fair and is one of the foremost organizations on the campus, welcomed the crowd to the occasion, then introduced the announcer for the evening, Prof. W. E. Sewell of the Animal Husbandry department, who then took charge. • The spectacular event of the evening was a premature presentation of the. Auburn-Tulane football game, in which Auburn emerged victorious to the count of 12-6. Prof. "Fatty" Robinson was the star of .the game who constituted an impenetrable Auburn line throughout the contest. Prof. "Goofy" Guyton, his cohort back, succeeded in galloping across into the "promised land" for Auburn's two counters. Tulane's Billie Banker, Rat Stucky, was powerless in the attack; Prof. "Pee Wee" Sewell, the lone Greenie linesman, was also ineffective against his miniature (240 pound) foe. -The Green Wave was absolutely powerless in the grasp of "Fatty"—Auburn's line. No casualties resulted. In the annual wheelbarrow polo event between Freshmen and Sopho-tnores, a heated contest ensued, in which Sophs finally emerged victors after playing an extra two-minute period. The final score was 5-4, Sophomores. "Pee Wee" Wright, Ag Junior, received the popular approval as hero of the contest, serving in the capacity of referee.
