SPADES HONOR SOCIETY
ANNOUNCES NEW MEMBERS
Crowds Throng Streets
to View Public
Initiation
TEN JUNIORS ARE ELECTED
All Are Prominent in Class and
Student Activities
On Tuesday morning, at ten
o'clock, the Spades Honor Society
announced its new members to the
student body by its public initiation.
This annual initiation on May Day is
a much anticipated event on the
campus, as each time something dif­ferent
is featured.
This time the initiation was in
the form of a circus side show. The
name of this conglomeration of
freaks and other wonders was the
Sedaps Show. The announcer ex­tolled
to the public the virtues of the
performance, and it deserved the
praise awarded it, for the imper­sonations
were good, and served their
purpose in keeping the crowd of
spectators almost tearful with laugh­ter.
There was the clown and bare­back
rider, both invaluable to any
circus. Then came the wild man
from Borneo, whose frightful looks
helped to bear out the truth of the
statement that he was the only one
in captivity. The "hula-hula girl"
danced like a "veteran at the trade."
The fat lady and strong man added
their part to the performance, the
one by her ludicrous appearance and
the other by his "impossible feats."
Some mention must be made of the
great "million dollar band" of three
pieces. Its wonderful .harmony will
long remain in the hearts of music
lovers.
The ten Juniors who were awarded
the honor of membership in Spades
are: Percy Beard, A. T. O., one of
Auburn's crack track men; Nick Car­ter,
T. 0. K., captain-elect of Au­burn's
football team; Wink Glover,
A. T. O., recently elected business
manager of the Plainsman for the
coming year; Duggar Taylor, Pi. K.
A., awarded the cup offered annu­ally
to the best all-around Junior in
Ag.; W. P. Smith, Theta Chi, a prom­inent
student in Electrical Engineer­ing;
Howard Smith, Pi K. A., a mem­ber
of the varsity baseball team;
Joe Ford, S. P. E., elected business
manager of the 1929 Glomerata;
Frank DuBose, President of the
class of '29 and captain of next
year's basketball team; Pete Cren­shaw,
Sigma Nu, a well known and
well liked student in Electrical En­gineering;
Maggie McGhee, S. A. E.,
for three years president of the
class of '29.
PAVING PROJECT
NOW IN PROGRESS
Excavation Procedure Begun on
Thatch Avenue
The excavating was begun last
week for the paving in Auburn; the
contract having been let to Hopper-
Winston Construction Company of
Auburn. This project will bring the
amount of paved streets in Auburn
to approximately five miles.
The contract covers the following
projects: College Street from the
home of J. F. Duggar to Toomer's
corner; Thatch Avenue from Payne
Street to the Alumni Gymnasium,
past the president's home; West
Magnolia Avenue from DeBardeleben
Street to East Magnolia Avenue out
to the golf links; Glenn Avenue from
Burton Street to Thomas Street (old
Lochapoka Street); one block con­tinuation
on North Gay Street from
Opelika Street. There will be a two
way drive with the beautiful oaks
left standing in the center on the
block in front of the Main Building.
Most of this will border college
property, eliminating much of the
muddy street area which has for
many years detracted from the
premises. The added appearance
will no doubt render the place un­recognizable
to those absent during
and up to the time of completion.
BEES TAKE OVER
SIGMA NU HOUSE
Expressing a desire to become
more closely associated with man—
to the degree of Fraternity Brothers,
in fact—a swarm of friendly honey
bees settled on one of the columns
at Sigma Nu House Wednesday, ap­parently
in an attempt to be admitted
as full-fledged members.
No initiation was administered to
the numerous winged aspirants upon
their arrival; nor was a brotherly wel­come
extended, even. Instead, the
boys of the house were seen hastily
scampering off to the woods, choos­ing
to dwell in quarters entirely
apart from the small, buzzing crea­tures.
Man is generally recognized as
master of all other aniamls, his ego
leading him to believe the society he
lives in is first and foremost. How­ever,
in this instance it seems that
a very miniature, speechless creature
has been successful in claiming dom­inance,
at least for the moment. Since
the honey bees commonly live in a
more perfect state of society than
man; they probably paid this call to
the boys in order to leave them some
ideas and plans for furthering hu­man
society!
On Monday an additional swarm
of these nectar-gathering creatures
apparently sought the advantages of
halls of learning when they settled
on a bough of an elm near the Ad­ministration
building. Despite the
fact of repeated antagonism by "mis­chievous
schoolboys," they remained
there until the following day, when
they were furnished an adapted Fra­ternity
(B. E. E.) House, in which
they cheerfully took up their abode.
Luckily for them, they have now
forgotten the proffered attempt to
sit in lecture halls, and have reclined
to a more moderate situation—
"where ignorance is bliss."
FAMILIES MEET
AT LAMBDA CHI
Parents of Members Enjoy Day
With Sons
Last Saturday, April 30, was set
aside by Lambda Chi Alpha as a day
on which the parents and families of
the members were invited to visit the
chapter in order to become better ac­quainted
with each other and to meet
the boys with whom their sons live
during the months of school. Quite
a few responded, arriving Sunday
morning. The fore-noon was given
over to getting acquainted with the
boys and with each other and to in­specting
the fraternity home. After
a dinner which quite convinced the
old folks that their offspring were
being well nourished here, they were
taken on a tour of the campus and
shown the various points of interest
in the town. Encouraged by the suc­cess
of its first affair of this nature,
Lambda Chi plans to make this an an­nual
event.
KIWANIS OBSERVE
INTER-CLUB WEEK
Chapter Members of Opelika Will be
Guests of Locals
Observing inter-club week as pro­posed
by Kiwanis International, the
Kiwanis Club of Auburn has invited
the Kiwanis Club of Opelika to be
their guests on May 14. This action
was taken by the Auburn club at
the regular luncheon this week. Cap­tain
B. C. Anderson, president of
the club, said that the week of May
21 will be inter-club week for Ki­wanis
Clubs throughout the country
but the Auburn club is advancing it
one week because the week of May
21 will be commencement week at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
The club had for its guest of
honor Miss Jane Yarbrough, daugh­ter
of C. S. Yarbrough. She present­ed
to the club her oration on Wood-row
Wilson with which she recently
won the prize of $25.00 offered by
the Kiwanis Club of Opelika in their

this a special pictorial edition. In ad­dition
to the regular mailing list of
more than a thousand paid subscrib

ALLOWANCE TO
BE INCREASED
R. O. T. C. Uniform Rate Raised
to Old Standard
JUNIORS GET BACK PAY
Local Post Gets News From
Atlanta Headquarters
Word has just been received from
Headquarters Fourth Corps Area, At­lanta,
Ga., that the commutation of
uniform allowance for advanced
course students of the ROTC, will
be increased for the next school year.
The increase will be such as to bring
the total amount received in the two
years of the advanced course, to
thirty six dollars. In other words
next year's Juniors taking ROTC will
receive thirty dollars at the beginning
of their Junior year and six dollars
additional at the beginning of their
Senior year.
Of particular interest to this year's
Juniors is the fact that next year
upon beginning the second year ad­vanced
course as Seniors they will
receive the difference between thir­ty-
six dollars and what they received
in their first year advanced course,
or between twenty five and thirty
dollars.
This total of thirty-six dollars for
the two years practically pays for the
advanced course uniform, which
means that but little deduction will
hereafter be made from commuta­tion
of subsistence allowance, com­monly
known as "ROTC Pay Checks."

MR. FRANK DIXON
CHAPEL SPEAKER
Birmingham Lawyer Traces Evolution
Freedom of Thought
"Freedom of thought is essential
to the progres of civilization," stated
Frank Dixon, Birmingham lawyer, at
convocation Thursday.
Mr. Dixon is a nephew of Thomas
Dixon, author of the "Clansman,"
etc. He is a graduate of the Univer­sity
of Virginia and a meThber of
Kappa Alpha fraternity and has been
State Commander of the American
Legion and also National Executive
Committeeman of the Legion.
He was aerial observer, photo­grapher,
radio operator and machine
gunner in the 55th and 210th French
Air Squadrons during the World
War, being severely wounded while
in action.
Vividly describing the history of
freedom of thought from the days
of the cave man, thru the Greek and
Roman civilizations, to the present
day, he told of the persecutions of
thinkers. When the Roman emperors
finally adopted Christianity, freedom
of thought came almost to a stand­still.
Then the civil authorities re­belled
against the church, more for
political than intellectual reasons. As
a direct result of this rebellion the
more important nations today have
made provision in their constitutions
for freedom of thought and of the
press.
Plans Completed

Have you seen the "Fairyland be­neath

Wyatt and Snook of the Depart­ment
of Agriculture.
From the minute one walks thru the
yawning red maw of the mammoth
fish whose eyes will gleam with sin­ister

PHI DELTA THETA
ENJOYS BANQUET
Alumni, Members, and Pledges Meet
in Opelika
The local chapter of Phi Delta
Theta enjoyed a banquet at the Cle­ment
Hotel, Opelika, on April 30,
Monday night at eight o'clock. Those
present were members of the chap­ter,
pledges, and alumni.
A fruit cocktail was followed by a
palatable chicken dinner. Tempting
vanilla-mint cream was served, and
smokes were passed. Throughout the
dinner, the guests were interestingly
entertained by alumni and members.
R. O. Lile, retiring president of the
chapter, introduced the speakers, who
were largely Seniors and alumni.
Those graduating who talked were:
E. H. Driver, J. L. Feagin, C. L.
Bothwell, C. H. Feagin, and R. O.
Lile. W. D. Drake, an alumnus of
the chapter, spoke attractively,
touching on the Auburn spirit. W.
S. Crawford, president-elect of the
chapter, and E. D. Gates, vice-presi­dent-
elect of the Interfraternity
Council, delineated comtemplations
for next year. /
As the festal meeting drew to a
close, the members of the chapter
joined arms to sing one of their fav­orite
Phi Delta Theta songs.
With total sales of $110.31, the Au­burn
curb market was opened Thurs­day
morning May 2. Thirteen sellers
were at the market and a large num­ber
of buyers took advantage of the
opportunity to buy products direct
from the farms surrounding Auburn.
The market is being backed by the
leading people of Auburn. S. L.
Toomer, prominent banker and mer­chant
is chairman of the curb mark­et
committee and expressed his pleas­ure
with the success of the opening
day. Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, mayor,
recommended the curb market to Au­burn.
He urged £he farm people to
produce and the people of Auburn to
buy. The market will be open Tues­days,
Thursdays and Saturdays, 8 to
10 a. m. It is located under a big oak
tree by the side of the Bank of Au­burn.
This bank is cooperating by
furnishing a storage room which will
be used for selling when the weather
is unfavorable for the outside.
The Auburn Chamber of Commerce
of which Mr. Toomer is President, of­fered
three cash prizes of $2.50, $1.50
and $1.00 to the persons having the
first, second and third best collection
of products. Arrangement and dis­play
were taken into consideration
by the judges, who were Mrs. J. C.
Grimes and P. O. Davis.
First prize was won by Mrs. Carl
Summers of Opelika, Route 1. Mrs.
Summers had for sale thirty-four pro­ducts.
They were strawberries, but­ter,
cakes, chickens, eggs, syrup, meal,
lettuce, mint, parsnips, Irish potatoes,
cabbage, spinach, mustard, English
peas, asparagus, turnips, beets, on­ions,
radishes, roses, Brunswick stew,
buttermilk and nine different canned
products.
Second prize was won by Mrs. J. D.
Orr and third prize by Mrs. Dan
Robertson of Gold Hill.
In announcing the result Miss
Mary Bailey, home demonstration
agent and L. M. Hollingsworth, county
agent, said that most products found
buyers. Dressed chickens sold es­pecially
well. Buyers appear to be
hungry for fried chicken. Live chick­ens
sold well also. The market will
be opened again Saturday morning
at 8 o'clock.

Banquet Held Friday

Successful Work
Very
The 70th annual Installation Dinner
of the Auburn Y. M. C. A. Friendship
Council was given Friday evening,
April 27th. The newly elected officers
of the Y. M. C. A. were installed by
"Kayo" Pearce, ex president acting
toast-master for the occasion. The
old officers and members of the
Friendship Council who led Y. M. C.
A. work during the last school year
made reports on their work. These
reports were very interesting in that
they showed in just what ways the
purposes of the Y. M. C. A. have ma­terialized
on our campus, and the ways
in which these purposes could be bet­ter
applied to accomplish their objects.
Judge Sanford of Opelika was the
principal speaker of the evening. His
hopes are for a large, well equipped
Y. M. C. A. building for Auburn.
Judge Sanford is an alumnus of Au­burn
and has since he left Auburn
been actively engaged in the upbuild­ing
of Auburn. May his address act
as a stimulant to effect a movement
which will accomplish this result.
A good number of distinguished
guests were present, among these be­ing
Dr. Knapp, our future president.
In his short talk Dr. Knapp shared
with Judge Sanford the common idea
that Christian ideals should be the
prevalent feature of college life.
The banquet was thoroughly enjoy­able
and should act as an inspiration
for better work for those present.
By L. W. Strauss
The annual ROTC horse show was
held on the varsity baseball field Tues­day,
May 1. The show was proclaimed
to be one of the best exhibitions dis­played
here, by all who saw it. The
visiting officers were especially
pleased with the performance. All in
all the show was a great success.
The Roman riding exhibition by
Sgt. Foreman and Pri. Ditto met with
the most hearty approval of all. Pri.
Ditto won the cup for this exhibition
after a long deliberation of the judges.
The hurdles had to be taken and re­taken
before the judges finally came
to a decision.
The jumping was hotly contested.
The first round found Gregory, Long­shore,
Driver and Johnson tied for
first place. The second round found
Longshore and Gregory still tied for
the first place. The triple bars were
then raised from 3 ft. 6 in. to 4 ft.
Longshore nosed Gregory out of first
place and received the cup. Gregory
received the red ribbon for second
place and Johnson captured the yel­low
ribbon for third place.
The enlisted men did not have such
a hot race for honors in their jump­ing.
Pri. Jackson, the last man to
jump, took the cup, Sgt. Foreman took
the red ribbon and Pri. Ditto took the
third place.
The Polo Bending race by the stu­dents
was run off in heats of 4 con­testants
each. Parrish won the first
heat. Longshore the second, Fuller
the third and Waldrop the fourth heat.
In the race for place Longshore won
the cup, Fuller the red ribbon and
Parrish the yellow ribbon.
The enlisted men's saddling race
was a real race to the finish. Sgt.
Foreman 1st, Pri. Pounds 2nd, and
Pri. Carter 3rd.
The saddling race and messenger
race were the best ever seen in a horse
show in Auburn. Sgt. Foreman won
first place in the messenger race also.
The Junior and Sophomore jump­ing
was a credit to all participants.
The applause the riders received from
the stands was a boost to each to do
the utmost within him. The result
was as follows:
Fuller 98; Horn 97; Brittain's horse
became uncontrollable and he chalked
a score of 87; Nagely 98; Clingo 98;
Farris' horse was also uncontrollable,
his score was 89; Bullard 99; Straw­berry
was the star of the jumping;
Helms was the pilot, and the score was

THE PLAINSMAN
AUBURN FOOTPRINTS
Our freshmen are rather assuming chaps
these days and can hardly be distinguished
from upper-classmen. It might be well
for us to address them individually as Mr.
New Student judging from their outward
appearance of knowledge. Never in the
history of the school has there been quite
as many well educated men taking first
year work. This class of '31 has entirely
removed all distinction of just merely being
an upper-classman. It is no longer an
honor or an achievement to be advanced
further than the first year for the pride
of the school is the class of '31. A man
has to at least be president of his class to
have a personal interview with Mr. Fresh­man.
To again humble the worm should be the
slogan of all men who have passed thru
the period of ignorance. Maybe the board
of education and angle assuming about
the campus would produce a few freshmen
among our ranks.

The three famous fighters of the South,
the weather, the farmer and the boll
weevil, have already begun this years
battle with greater fury than ever, but
the weather has allied with the insect to
further antagonize the farmer.
If the nightly inundation of hot air
which envelops bull sessions could be can­ned
and sent to the farmer it would enable
him to produce crops in Iceland.

In his Thursday night current event lec­ture
Dean Petrie compared the vibrations
of a Ford traveling the street in front of

market. Perhaps if the town officials
would improve this street it would in­crease
the stability of the cotton market.

Dean Petrie is of the opinion that the
greater majority Auburn students are just
poor country boys. The Dean is right.
He based his statement on the absence of

It is rumored about the campus that
Harry Wise has taken up dancing lessons.
We once heard of a man who compared
the Coperican theory with the tax on putty
in Peru. But . . . . the day of miracles

"Red" Smith and "Alcohol" Spence re­turned
from Tuskegee, after going down

—the car in which they were riding turn­ed

husky fathers.

An ordinary liar no longer has a chance
in this ultra modern age where lying has
slowly but surely been developed along
scientific channels. Lying has ceased to
be a gift and has become an accomplish­ment
which can be developed by proper
training. Of course a certain degree of
•mentality is required in order that the
mind may be systematically trained, for
one has to think fast to be adept in the
come-back department. This is especially
outstanding at this time of the year when
many who were ordinary liars in bull ses­sions
last fall have developed into out­standing
scientific liars.
The educated liar has come to stay and
it's up to us ordinary liars to deal with
him. The best way to do this is to save
the best story until all these scientists
leave the session, then (if there is any­one
left) carefully tell your story and de­clare
yourself victor.

The University of Alabama seeks to
solve political questions on the campus by
the organization of a political fraternity.
Auburn needs no such organization be­cause
every society on the campus is a poli­tical
ring within itself. This has been espe­cially
noticeable at convocation where
many frame-ups have been run off. suc­cessfully.

One of the most outstanding events
of the past week was the marriage of
"Red" Meager to Miss Luckie Thomas.
The marriage was not as startling as some
of the mischievious pranks that were pull­ed
on "Red" after the ceremony. It is
generally understood that night clothes
disappeared from "Red's" grip.

FLAGRANT DISRESPECT
The two youths and their feminine com­panions
who were sitting in an automobile
on the back campus Saturday morning,
ostensibly to view the parade of the R. O.
T. C. unit, did not fit into the picture.
Although common decency frowns upon
any public display of affection, it is not a
subject for editorial comment. However,
when two couples, by holding a "necking"
party flagrantly show disrespect for the
American Flag, then it is time for us to
say something about it.
The two couples already mentioned and
another party of one boy and three girls
sat through the playing of the National
anthem, the lowering of the flag, and the
passing of the regimental colors without
exhibiting in spirit or letter the traditional
respect which we usually accord on such
occasions to the flag and to the "Star
Spangled Banner."
This respect is taught in the elementary
schools, in the homes, in the high schools,
in the Boy Scouts, in the churches, in the
R. O. T. C, in fact an American boy can­not
grow up to college age without having
it drummed into him. It has been incorp­orated
into the law of the land, it is en­forced
by the American Legion and other
patriotic bodies. Ignorance cannot be of­fered
as an excuse. Both youths have had
R. O. T. C. training. They knew that
they should have alighted from the auto­mobile
and stood at attention.
Although men have been severely pun­ished
for such an insult which Americans
resent so vehemently, we think that the
best punishment, under the circumstances,
would be an application of a parental
shingle, with perhaps a deprivation of the
girls' Wrigley's for a few days.
The boys probably won't be any less ef­ficient
as soda-jerkers, nor will they miss
many square meals because of their con­duct
at drUl, but they are evidently devoid
of some of the finer sensibilities of life
which are behind the observance of patrio­tic
traditions, and which make life more
than an eat-and-sleep routine. The girls
will probably catch their grocery-clerk hus­bands
just the same, but they too have
missed something.
AUBURN SPIRIT EXEMPLIFIED
Eight years ago Auburn experienced the
incoming of a new president. Soon this
man will depart from Auburn, after having
done his best here. He leaves with the
conviction that he has served his mission
here; and this he has done to the very
best of his high ability.
Dr. Dowell has literally given eight
years of his life to the upbuilding of Au­burn.
No Auburn enthusiast is ignorant
to the progress the institution has made
under his administration. The Greater
Auburn movement was started, which so
far has resulted in almost doubling the in­stitutions
facilities. This has been ac­complished
wholly aside from the regular
duties, which have be*en unusually great
in the case of Dr. Dowell.
Auburn's financial status has been curb­ed
unmercifully. This situation Dr.
Dowell has met and handled with very un­usual
sagacity. On meager funds barely
sufficient to hold the college at par, ad­ditional
building programs have gone for­ward.
Instruction might easily have lag­ged,
had it not been for the ingenuity of
the president, picking his limited forces
wisely and retaining the confidence and
cooperation of the entire faculty.
Dr. Dowell's success as president here
may be easily cited from the fact that his
co-workers have constantly supported him.
No corps of deans, professors and instruc­tors
could have been more cooperative—
nor would they have been so, but for the
wise leadership of the man at the helm.
It is quite impossible to evaluate Dr.
Dowell's true worth to Auburn. But he,
nor any other, could scarcely have been of
more service to the institution; he did his
best. Never were his actions selfishly
motivated; his interest was always directed
toward the betterment of the institution he
served. This has been nobly exexmplified
by the unceasing efforts he has extended
since his resignation.
During these eight years, Dr. Dowell
has all but given his life to the work for
which he was chosen. And we dare say he
would have given that, even, if necessary,
had he deemed it for the best interest of
Auburn. No truer devotion could have
been exemplified.
We regret the loss of such a great man.
In his absence, the noble work he has
do^ne here will remain a^ a deserving
monument to his memory. With him goes
the wish that he find his new location a
position in which he may effectively dis­charge
his ambitious services toh is fellow-man,
just as he has here.
Dr. Dowell has the real Auburn Spirit.
HIGHER STANDARDS
There has been considerable talk dur­ing
the last month about the passing grade
being raised to 70, and the custom of re­examinations
being done away with. No
doubt a revisal of the grading basis at this
college along some such lines as these
woupld greatly elevate the' scholastic
standing of the college, and would at the
same time eliminate many of the parasites
that manage to hang on, year after year,
w^th an unbelievably small amount of
work. „
Another point in favor of this plan is
the restriction that would be placed upon
the registration in college. This would
undoubtedly fall off considerably but the
general raise in scholastic ability of those
who were able to make the grade would
compensate many times over for those who
would be eliminated. The college is hard
pressed at this time to find room for all
those who wish to enter, and in raising
their scholastic standard would only be
following the majority of colleges.
Another point introduces itself when dis­cussion
arises, why not excuse students
with a high grade from final exams. Some
might say that this is a high school pro­cedure,
but at the same time it has many
good points.
There are very few subjects in this
•school that do not vary directly as the
daily grade of the student. Some few
subjects depend primarily upon the final
exam and have few daily grading recita­tions,
or quizzes throughout the year, by
which the final grade can be determined.
But in the great majority of subjects the
man that (Joes good work consistently,
day by day, is the one that will do well
on the exam.
Yet there are notable exceptions to this
rule. Exams are more a psychological
and memory test than a test of reasoning.
Many students cannot master the psycho­logy
of an exam with the result that in
spite of their good daily grade they often
fail miserably on the final exam, and
barely pass the course.
Also it is a fact that at exam time
there comes a week or two of concentrated
effort known" generally as cramming.
That this is not a good way to learn a sub­ject
has been conclusively proven, but
with the present system of grading it is
universally followed, to a great extent.
With the elimination of final exams when
the daily grade is above a certain point,
a great deal of this cramming would be
removed, and continued studying through­out
the year substituted.
The men who have done things of meri­torious
worth are those who have made
great sacrifices to accomplish those things.
Two bands, a student orchestra and a
radio ochestra offer pleasure and profit to
the young musician who is thinking of
entering college.
WAPI, the radio broadcasting station
located at Auburn gives daily programs of
special interest to the people of the rural
districts of the state. Tune in!
The greatest thing to remember in this
world is that by concentrating on the is­sue
at hand men and women will be what
they set out to be. If they waste their
energies on the side shows of life, they
will miss the big show.—The Scroll.
QUALITY POINTS
There are several things in Auburn that
should be done away, one of these is the
granting of quality points for almost any
and everything that is done in activities.
The practice of giving quality points
for participation in certain campus activi­ties
was begun several years ago for the
purpose of getting more students to take
part in outside work. However, at the
present time the granting of quality points
is defeating its own purpose, for the ob­jective
has not been attained. More stu­dents
are attending the various organiza­tions,
but there has been no noticeable in­crease
in the number taking part in the
life of the societies.
Those composing the increased attend­ance
are nothing more than drones. They
cannot be voted out, for in a great many
cases they outnumber the workers. They
obtain the quality points, for the standards
are low; merely being a nominal fee, a
wretchedly marching through a part on the
program a couple of times, and attendance
at a certain percentage of the meetings.
It is easily seen then that these members
actually lower the grade of the work being
done, for, not being interested, they can­not
possibly be attentive to the speakers.
Such members give an organization a rag­ged
appearance and it is time something
was done to correct the situation.
The only sure remedy is the abolishment
of quality points. If the standards were
even raised, there would be some who
would try to slip through without doing
any work, while if there were no quality
points, those not interested in building up
and working in the campus organizations
would not attend the meetings.
FROM MY WINDOW
Beneath my window the crowds pass by
And as I watch them from on high
I think how each one like myself
Is seeking fame and worldly wealth—
How each a bit of human clay
Is groping in a separate way
And seizing with a greedy hand
All that earth can give to man;
As if the gifts that money buy
Could have the power to satisfy
For deep within the human soul
Are sacred fires untouched by gold,
And then I think how much like they
My life is guided day by day—
And just a speck of God-made dust
Blown by winds of hate and lust;
And from my window up on high
I know that they are just as I.
And so I watch them come and go
And judge them by the self I know.
—Allen McCluskey.
Book Review
JAMES STEPHENS' NEW BOOK
"Etched in the Moonlight" is the title
of a book containing seven stories, more
or less short, of which "Etched in the
Moonlight" is but one. By no means did
I dislike this story; I simply failed to un­derstand
it. Mine is not the average col­lege
boob's contempt for that which he
cannot understand, but a failure to grasp
the complete concepts which James Step­hens'
surely intends.
Most of the story is quite intelligible
as well as powerful in its compressed hand­ling.
The prologue prefatory to the re­lation
of the dream lends reality; the en­tombment
of the lovers in the castle ruins
followed by the flight and mad remorse of
the rejected suitor leads to a first high
point wherein he desperately returns to
find them alive, and as he cogitates, after
he had paid for their death. The climax
involves the reunion of the three, the two
lovers and the rejected suitor. A last
walk in the moonlight is suggested; they
pace in the quietude as "spectres going in
a spectral world," until the rejected suitor
suddenly discovers that he is walking not
between friends but between guards, and
that their intention toward him is pitiless.
He himself at the hands of the lovers is
now to be entombed. In the blackness "I
began to hear, and at no time could I tell
what I heard. I began to see, and no
words will impart what I saw. I closed
both eyes and ears with my fingers, and
was aware in a while that my under-jaw
was hanging; that my mouth was open;
and that I was listening and looking
through that."
And so the story, with perhaps a "sur­prise"
culmination goes. Come to think
of it, the last sixteen lines of the story
are the ones which baffle me.
With the exception of "Desire" with
its almost O. Henry twist, the other stories
which make up the volume are episodic
gems, cleanly carved, clear, and polished
to the point of sheer dramatic artistry.
James Stephens is certainly one of the
most important authors composing today.
It is a great thing to have a part in
the upbuilding of an institution which
daily serves the commonwealth in the de­velopment
of youth to better fit them for
carrying on their work and to add more to
their lives than the mere struggle for
daily bread.
MEDITATIONS
O N THIS A N D T H AT
<33;y Jupiter <\. Tluvius
What are some of the good customs and
conventions in vogue on the Auburn cam­pus
which are enforced by public opinion?
What are some of the bad customs which
are sanctioned by public opinion? Stu­dents
in two sections of Freshman Eng­lish
were asked to answer these questions
for an assignment recently. The papers
were interesting as well as varied.
Almost all of them thought that the cus­tom
of speaking to everyone is a good cus­tom.
However, that is about the only one
which received anywhere near a unanimous
vote. Many of the freshmen disagreed on
some of the customs, such as hazing, in­formal
dress, public behavior, and others.
One co-ed thinks that Auburn students be­have
very modestly in/ public gatherings.
I wonder if she has been to a public gather­ing
since she has been here? If so, then I
would certainly like to know her defini­tion
of "modest behavior."
"Hooting ate the co-eds" was mentioned
frequently as being a bad custom, and sev­eral
boys think that we don't show the
women students enough respect. One youth
listed as a bad custom, "Talking disres­pectfully
about co-eds," but qualified this
with, "except when in their presence.."
The practice of allowing the first man
on a corner to have the first ride, when
"catching rides" seems to impress many as
being a good custom. Removing knickers
from anyone who wears them to Comer
Hall is also highly commended by the Ag
boys.
A girl bewails the fact that it seems to
be a custom here to let a few do the think­ing,
and for the mob to follow blindly
along. Poor girl, if she thinks that that
is exclusively an Auburn custom, or that
it can be remedied, she is in for a big
disillusionment.
However, there semes to be a gener­ally
unanimous sentiment against the gen­eral
conduct of the students at convoca­tion,
picture shows, and other meetings.
Shouting, scraping the feet, all the com­mon
pastimes of the ordinary A. P. I. audi­ence
come in for some disapproval. It
makes me feel better to find that some­body
in the student body doesn't like it.
Although the practice of going barefoot
in rainy weather is not quite universal
enough to be called a custom here, still it
came in for a good deal of condemnation,
which shows that it doesn't "go over" so
big.
The "Rat rules" are not considered bad
customs by the majority of the freshmen,
but they do disapprove the practice of cut­ting
rats' hair. However, a few of them
thought that heathen custom a good one.
The custom of supporting all athletic teams
is widely approved.
What puzzles me is, why some of the
freshmen think that Auburn students dress
neatly. Several of them listed "neat
dress" as a good custom. In a place where
barefooted boys are not uncommon, ties
are rarely seen, and coats are brought out
only on "occasions," how can anyone talk
about neat dress?
The prospect is not wholly discouraging.
Many of the freshmen see the evils in the
harmful customs and the useless customs
which we tolerate and encourage, and it is
not inconceivable that some day some of
them may be changed. I only hope that
they don't let the customs overwhelm them
as they have the rest of us, and that some
day soon a man can do as he likes, re­gardless
of the mob, and not be ostracised.

Dear Mr. Editor:
For a long time the professors have
been endeavoring to impress their students
with the value of scholarship, but the
boys have been inclined to pooh-pooh the
idea; at least I did when I was in college.
We have just found out that there is
a high correlation between scholarship,
when combined with judgment, purpose,
willingness to work and ability to get on
with people, and achievement in business
as measured by financial reward.
You may also be interested to know that
there are now 71 A. P. I. graduates in
the services of the various companies com­posing
the Bell System; and that the fol­lowing
men from the Class of 1928 are
coming into the system after graduation:

5. Becaues they have the only known

RATS WIN DOUBLE BILL FROM
MARION INSTITUTE SATURDAY
The Yearlings were not contented
with handing Marion a defeat on Fri­day
so they took the field Saturday
in an effort to hang more affairs on
the clean side of the ledger. It was
no difficult matter to nip the first
nine inning race, but Marion made it
interesting in the second. The Rats
got to the Marion twirler in the first
scene and came through with six runs.
Marion scored one on their half of
the first inning and then Auburn bats
began to swing. Potter was invited to
first by Griffin. Harris singled to
the left garden. He was thrown out
at second on a fielder's choice but
Potter went to third and scored when

Pate doubled. DeRamus counted next
on a hit off Chappelle's bat. Dreaden,
Carter and Potter walked in succes­sion.
Harris went out on a roller
that was handled by Tubberville to
McKee. The Frosh scored one mark­er
in the third and fourth frame and
marked up three in the seventh and
eighth.
The pitching of Carter was effect­ive
and the cold wind did not seem
to bother the Rat hurler. He struck
out five men and only gave one ride
to first on four bad ones. Several
times during the affair when the
count was three and two he would
hurl the apple down the alley and cut
the platter.
The most outstanding fielding of
the game was that of Potter and
Dreaden. The keystoner picked up
nine chances without a miscue and
tossed them successfully to Dreaden
who handled all of them at the one
base station. Pate and Chappelle al­so
did some flashy fielding at their
posts and picked the pill out of the
dirt several times and threw the run­ner
out at first. Every Tiger that

took a swing at the plate managed to
get safe at least one time during the
event. Pate did the heaviest slugging
in the first game. He got safe three
times out of five and once he went to
second on a long slap.
Work Hard for Second Game
Marion made several shifts in their
lineup in the second game and made
things more interesting for the spec­tators.
They led with the large end
of the score until the sixth frame.
When the Auburn Freshmen came to
bat in the last of the sixth Marion
boasted of a two to one score, but
things swapped at the end of that
frame when the Rats began to find
the ball and netted three counters,
making the board read 4 to 2. They
got another marker in the eighth, but
had to yield to Marion for one in the
ninth when a pinch hitter was resort­ed
to.
Again the pitching, that of Winn,
was a feature and the Potter to Dread­en
put-out combination worked suc­cessfully.
Winn hit one on the arm
but did not allow a base on balls dur­ing
the entire game.
When the sun went down Saturday
the Rats had painted two more events
on the right side of the wall. They
still have the record of not losing a
single contest this season and they
are strong contenders for the Fresh­man
Championship.

E. L. Deal is New
Rotary Governor
Information has reached Auburn
that E. L. Deal, county agent for
Lauderdale County with headquarters
at Florence, is the new district Rotary
governor for Alabama and a portion
of Florida. He was nominated at the
recent meeting at Anniston and nom­ination
is equivalent to election.
Mr. Deal came to Auburn from Tus­caloosa
County and graduated with
the class of 1917, taking agriculture.
Soon after graduation he enlisted in
the army and rose to the rank of cap­tain.
He saw much active service
abroad. At the close of the war he
returned to Alabama and soon became
county agent in Colbert County. He
remained in that county until J. T.
High, who was then county agent, for
Lauderdale County, was promoted to
district agent, at which time Mr. Deal
was asked to take up the work in
Lauderdale.
In college Mr. Deal was a leader
of his class, serving in different of­ficial
capacities, and was active in
student affairs.
His recent election confers upon
him the highest honor which the Ro-tarians
of Alabama can give. He suc­ceeds
W. M. Merrill of Eufaula.

Plainsmen Cop Two Out
Of Three From 'Gators
The Tiger diamondeers brought
plenty of alligator skins back from
a three game series with the Univer­sity
of Florida last week at Panama
City by beating them two games and
losing one. The last two games
could be termed as the pitchers dual
type, with the Tigers taking them
both. It seems that the Villagers
have about gotten over that bad habit
of making errors, for very few were
charged up to them while on this
t r i p.
FIRST GAME
Stoutenborough took the mound
for the Tigers in the first game
which resulted in a 6 to 5 win for
the Floridans. Stoutenborough gave
up 12 hits in the contest, while Au­burn
only managed to hit the apple
for 8. Florida staged a ninth inning
rally, which brought in the two win­ning
runs.
Akin came up first in the first in­ning
and struck out. Currie took a
base on balls. Crawford hit and
Currie went to third. On Owens er­r
o r Currie crossed the plate for the
first score. Florida failed to get a
man on the initial sack.
Big Second for Plainsmen
I n the second frame, F. James
was thrown out at first, and then
Marshall chose to give Ellis a free
ticket to first. E. James flied out,
and Stoutenborough received a base
on balls. Akin got a bingle, which
brought Ellis in. Currie reached
first on Slaugh's error, as Stouten­borough
registered a tally to be fol­lowed
closely by Akin. This made
four runs for Auburn and nothing
for Florida, as they again failed to
score.
With good support the Tigers were
held to no hits by Marshall in the
third. The first two men up were
quickly sent back to the bench by
" S t o u t . " Pies got a double, and went
t o third on Owen's swat. Pies made
t h e first 'Gator score on Curries er­ror.
Big Fifth for Florida
Gilchrist went in for Currie in the
5th, and started things off right with
a walk. He reached second on Ever's
bobble. Next up was Crawford who
knocked out a two bagger, scoring
Gilchrist. Crawford was left on base.
Then the heavy end of the Florida
b a t t i n g list came up, and they put it
to good advantage, by bringing in
three tallies. First Beck flied out to
Sankey. Pies made a one bagger, and
went to third when Owens bingled.
Shirley took first, being hit by pitch­er.
On a fielder's choice Pies came
in, Owens went to third, and Shirley
was advanced to second. Prevost hit
to Smith and was out at first. Blach
shook a wicked stick and brought
Owens and Shirley in, making three
runs for in inning. Score: Auburn
5, Fla. 4.
For the next three innings nothing
happed to cause either team to
threaten to score, for both played air
tight ball.
Florida Stages Ninth Inning Rally
In the last part of the ninth the
Gators pulled a rally that was like
some of these you read about in books.
I t came about in the following man­ner."
Pies came to the plate first and
flied out to "Fob" James. Then Mr.
Owens stepped up and took a hefty
swing that netted him two bases.
Owens came home on a t a p on Shir­ley's
bat. Then Evers hit a long one
which drove Shirley in for the win­ning
tally. ^

SECOND GAME
The second game of the series was
a pitchers dual with Potter working
on the slab for the Orange and Blue
while Untriner held the same position
for his team-mates. There were four
hits gotten off both the above men­tioned
gentlemen, while the Gators
were given two errors. The pitching
of Potter was outstanding for the Au­burn
club, and the game ended 2 to 0.
Both scores were made in the first
frame.
Sankey Hits Homer
The first inning seemed to be the
lucky one for the Alabama boys.
Akin lead off and was safe at first
on a nice hit. Currie advanced him
to second. Crawford received a free
t r i p to first, and Akin reached third
on Shirley's error. Akin was out in
an attempt to steal home. Then who
should appear in the batters box but
Ben Sankey, Auburn's Babe Ruth.
He looked the ball over and picked out
a good one, which he knocked out of
the lot, making the first and only
scores of the game. Crawford was
brought in on the play.
The remainder of this contest was
quiet and some real ball playing was
exhibited by the Tigers, for they sup­ported
Potter like a million dollars.

"DOOLEY"
The manager of the 1928 baseball
squad of the Orange and Blue is our
own well known "Dooley" Gilchrist.
We could have hunted all over the
country and back and could not have
found a man who would have made a
better manager for the Tiger nine
than "Dooley". He always has the
arrangements made for the team, and
gives them every possible comfort.
This season he has not been satis­fied
with just being manager, but he
has also donned a uniform, and has
been in several of the line-ups. His
chief hobby is playing third, and he
GILCHRIST
also has the swatting eye. He has
been on the initial sack for the last
few days while "Fob" James has been
confined to his bed.
"Dooley" is given much of the cred­it
for the spirit of the student body
during the past year, for he holds the
notorious job of "cheer leader". He
has the real Auburn spirit, and has
helped put it in the hearts of the stu­dents.
This is his last year a t Auburn, and
the place he leaves will be hard to
fill. He is t a k i n g the Civil Engineer­ing
course, and is a member of the
Kappa Sig frat.

Auburn Rats won their fourth
game of the year including two
straights from Tech Frosh. The Rats
put over one run in the fourth, one
in the fifth and two in the eight, al­lowing
only three hits and making
only three errors. Tech allowed seven
hits, made two runs and four errors.
From what seemed to be a pitcher's
duel between Winn of Auburn and
Quinn of Tech turned out to be one
of the best freshman games ever
played on Grant field in Atlanta.
Both of these boys performed great­ly
and deserve lots of x r e d i t . Little
did the Rats know that their victory
over the Tech Frosh Saturday after­noon
at Grant Field was one of the
most thrilling freshman games seen
on local fields this season. That
game witnessed by the largest crowd
at a freshman game this season, was
one which will go down in the an-naus
of freshmen base ball and will
live long in the memories of those
who saw an inspired Auburn Rat
team sweep over the Tech Frosh in
a hard earned victory.
If you have kept up with the an­nual
Auburn-Georgia Tech Rat
games you can easily imagine what
kind of a game was played. Two of
the bitterest of rivals in the South­ern
Conference fighting for supre­macy
in a manner which gave the
spectators the impression that the
world's series depended upon the
outcome of the game. It was the
finest exhibition of that hard fight­ing,
clean, heads up, base ball played
in a manner which was a credit to
both institutions, teams and coaches.
We have little doubt but what our
Rats could dispose of some of the
Southern College's best. If there is
a championship awarded in the fresh­man
circles, we can be assured that
our Rats will deserve honorable men­tion
for this honor.
For Auburn, the whole team star­red.
Capt. Pate especially starred
by his beautiful playing at short
stop. Brown came in for his share
of glory by his brilliant catching,
handling himself like a veteran.
"Breezy" Winn held them to only
three hits and had them well scatter­ed.

Freshmen Sweep
Opening Tilt With
Marion Institute
Last Friday while the wind was
blowing and most students and na­tives
of Auburn were sitting by the
fireside those Rat Tigers were hand­ing
the baseballers from Marion a de­feat
in a diamond struggle. It seem­ed
a case of too much Harkins, for
they found him only four times for
safeties. Six Marion members went
back to the dugout via the strike out
route, while only one was given a free
t r i p to first. The fielders made five
bobbles, but they played jam up when
men were on the hassocks and man­aged
to keep the mall away from the
scoring dish. When in the danger
zone Harkins was given stellar sup­port.
The Tiger Frosh did most of
their damage in the third frame when
Potter opened with a slap to right and
went to second on an error when Har­r
i s attempted to sacrafice and was
safe at the initial bag. He counted
when DeRamiis sent one through short
t h a t was not handled successfully by
Webb. Harris rode home when Pate
arrived at first on a fielders choice.
Pate went to second on a single by
Brown and went to third on a sacri­fice
fly off Chappelle's bat. Pate
crossed with the third counter on an
infield miscue. The third stanza end­ed
when Dreaden hit the air.
The other lone tally came in the
eighth. Tucker popped to the pitcher,
and was out. Brown singled and was
out stealing. Chappelle was given a
free ticket, went to third on Dreaden's
t a p through short, and scored when
Harkins singled.

Tracksters Win in Triple
Meet in Gainesville, Fla.
Totals 34 0 4 4
(Continued on page 5)
Coach Hutsell took his track team
to Gainesville, Florida last week, and
met the universities of Georgia and
Florida in a triangular track meet.
The Auburn boys had little trouble
in making the largest- number of
points out of the meet, thanks to
"Snitz" Snider and Beard, who each
took three first places. Although the
weather was bad and a strong wind
was blowing, the Auburn harriers
could not be slowed down, and won
eight first places out of the fourteen
events.
In the 100 yard dash Captain Snid­er
equaled the Auburn record of 9.8,
which is held by C. E. Greene, and
was made in 1925. He also stepped
out on the 220 and 440 dashes, and
took first place in both. Snider is out
to break some record on the cinder
path this year, and has already brok­en
one.
Beard, another Baskin at the hurd­les,
tied Snyder for high scorer in the
meet. Beard lead all participants in
both the high and low hurdles, and
broke the Auburn record for broad
jump.
Another one of the Tigers t h a t was
feeling his oats in the meet was
"Nick" Carter. He came close to
throwing the shot and discus out of
the park. He copped first in both
events. This big athlete should make
the competition great for discus and
shot-put at the Southern Conference
meet in Atlanta this month.
Upshaw placed for second place in
the 220 low hurdles, and tied for sec­ond
place in high jump. Virgin was
second in 120 high hurdles, and Tamp-lin
came in third in the 880 yard run.
Robinson took third in the javelin,
and Tuxworth third in the broad
jump.
The total points scored by Auburn
was 51 against 44 for Georgia and 31
for Florida.

Big Saturday
The Tiger ran wild last Saturday
to have a perfect day in all branches
of sport. The varsity baseball team
won the last game of a three game
series down in Panama City from the
diamondeers from the University of
Florida. At about the same time
the varsity track team was running
away with a triangular track meet in
Gainesville, Georgia and Florida both
competing. And the r a t s wound up a
perfect day with two wins from
Marion in a double-header. Winning
out like Auburn did that day cer­tainly
shows the brand of athletics
played at Auburn. Give us more of
them.
Rats Undefeated
The r a t team under the tutelage of
their new coach, Mike Papke, is
showing the goods this year, having
been undefeated thus far in the six
games they have played. To date
they have a win over the Southern
Rats, two games on the Tech fresh­men,
and three games over. Marion.
Coach Mike has certainly turned out
a good team, and will send some very
promising material up to the varsity
next year. He had some mighty bad
luck in losing Newton, the big, slug­ging
first baseman, and a few others,
but he has plugged the gaps and turn­ed
out the best freshman aggregation
Auburn has had in quite a while.
Society Games
Several of the societies have al­ready
organized baseball teams, and
a few games have been played to
date. Last year the Ags, Architects,
Civils, Elecs, and Mechanicals all had
teams, and* t h ey pulled off some very
interesting games. It is understood
that the present champs, the Ags,
have already organized and are prac­ticing
regularly in an attempt to re­tain
their honors. The Elecs and Me­chanicals
have played one game, the
Elecs coming out on the long end of
the score when the game was over.

THIRD GAME
I n the t h i rd game of t h e series t he
Auburn line-up was g r e a t ly altered,
due to the sickness of several of t he
players, but t h a t could not stop them
from playing the old game in a hun­dred
percent form. McGhee did the
hurling, and had perfect control of
the horsehide, and won his game at
the count of 2 to 1. This also was a
pitchers contest, for McGhee only
gave up four hits, while Marsh, star
Gator twirler, was only felt for two
hits during the game, but these came
a t a very bad time for t h e Floridans.
Sankey was. again the hero for Au­burn
on t he b a t t i n g end.
The game rocked along for t h e first
seven innings, without any runs being
completed.
Sankey Draws First Blood
In the beginning of the eighth the
Tigers went on a rampage that was
very similar to the one staged the
day before. Akin went up f i r s t , and
drove the pill out for a one bagger.
Currie made a pretty sacrifice, and
Crawford arrived at f i r s t on t h e sec­ond
baseman's error. Next in t h e bat­t
i n g list was Sankey, who sent out a
triple for the total Auburn scoring.
This brought Akin and Crawford in.
Florida also scored one in this inning,
but were unable to over-come the one
run lead held by the Plainsmen. It
happened when Slaugh got a base on

The James twins were not able to
get in t h e game due to sickness, so
" P e t e " Booth handled the big cat­cher's

held down the initial sack. Booth did
credit to " E b b " James a t stopping t he

"sensational" ball while taking

Auburn only made one error, while
Florida had t h r e e marked up in that

Auburn's Leader for Sixteen
Years
Managers Elected
For Various Sports
During Next Year
At the last meeting of the " A "
Club, the managers and their assist­ants
were elected for next year. For
manager of the football team R. M.
Hatcher was selected and will be in
charge of all matters that come un­der
the head of this position. This
year he has given much of his time in
helping the managers of t h e different
teams, and will be well qualified for
this job. Assisting Hatcher will be
"Preacher" Smith and George Wash­ington
Smith.
The basketball team should feel
very lucky in getting "Pee Wee"
Wright to fill the position of mana­ger
for them next year. "Pee Wee"
is a t r u e Auburn man, as is shown by
the way he has worked on the' base­ball
field. He was catcher on t he
Freshman team, and has worked hard
on the v a r s i ty squad for the last two
years. Rat Jones has been selected
to assist him.
For manager of the baseball nine
next year we take great pleasure
in presenting J. R. (Dugan) Taylor
who will work in t h a t capacity. He
was assistant manager this year, and
is on the varsity squad. Taylor is
one of the outstanding men on t he
campus, and was recently awarded
the cup for t h e "best all round Juni­or"
in the Ag department. He will
be assisted by Jack" Riley.

is given to the sporting staff of t he
Plainsman in time, it will be arranged
for someone to cover the game for
the following issue.
Baseball Team Sick
Winning the last game of t h e Flor­ida
series last Saturday was all t he
more wonderful when you consider
the fact that Coach Slick sent in a
patched up team in against the
'Gators. I t seems t h a t a salad of some
sort was served at one of the meals,
and the heavy eaters got sick on it.
These happened to be the James
twins, J im Crawford, and Buck Ellis.
Of course there are doubtless others
on the t e am with the same character­istic
but the ones above were the only
ones who got enough of it to render
them unfit for t h e game. Coach dis­covered
of new first, baseman in
Dooley Gilchrist, who played a sen­sational
game from all reports of
the conflict. Booth was sent in be­hind
the plate, and he filled Capt.
James shoes very well. The shakeup
at least eliminated some of Auburn's
tendencies for errors. Only one mis-cue
was recorded on t h e Plainsmen's
,.ide of the scorebook.

When Dad was a "Modern Youth"
/£"^ICYCLES,stereopticon lectures,
J j and the "gilded" youths with
their horses and carts; at night the
midnight oil burning in student
lamps while the gas lights glared and
flickered across the campus—the
gay nineties when Dad was in
college seem primitive to us to-day.
Now it's sport roadsters, the
movies, and radios. At night
the MAZDA lamp replaces
the midnight oil in dormi­tory
rooms, while modern
street lighting sheds its friendly
glow over the Campus.
Without electricity we would
have none of these improve­ments.
To-day's marvel of electrical
invention becomes to-morrow's
accepted utility. In the coming
years, by taking advantage of new
uses of electricity you will be
able to go so much farther
that the "tearing twenties"
will seem just as primitive
as the "gay nineties".
Scientists in the research laboratories of the General Electric

Pag* 6. THE PLAINSMAN
PROGRESS SHOWN
IN EXHIBITION
Evolution of Plainsman Depicted in
Window Display
An exceedingly interesting and quite
unique display of the official student
publication, from its early beginning
to the recent Special Edition, was on
exhibition at the Student Supply
Shop during the past week. A rare
collection of copies of the publication
from its very earliest days up until
the current issue were presented.
This presentation afforded a his­tory
of the evolution of the paper,
denoting the progressive steps from
the crude small booklet first published
to the attractive modern and leading
college newspaper that it is today.
The exhibition was made possible
through the courtesy of Miss Mary
Martin, Librarian, and the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.
In the beginning the publication
took the form of a booklet known as
the Orange and Blue, and contained
chiefly items of literary nature. The
MAY & GREEN
Men's Clothing
Sporting Goods
Montgomery, Alabama
paper has since experienced numer­ous
changes, taking somewhat defi­nite
form in 1922, to become known
as The Plainsman, since retaining
this name.
Mrs. A. St. C. Dustan possesses a
most valuable copy of a like publica­tion
called "College Topics" which was
issued in 1891. This pamphlet is old­er
than any of the college publications
now in the files of the college library.
Two years ago The Plainsman is­sued
for the first time in its history
a pictorial edition .depiciting college
life and campus scenes, which was sent
to the high school seniors throughout
the state. The success and kindly ac­ceptance
of this edition called for­ward
the special edition of April 27,
which contained the regular pages of
news with a pictorial supplement.
Such an issue marks a distinct de­parture
in southern collegiate journa­lism
and a new standard for The
Plainsman.
The 1926-7 Plainsman, under the
efficient editorship of S. H. Lynne,
published regularly a pleasing novel­ty
in the form of cartoons, produced
by the recently retired Editor, R. Als­ton.
The well known cartoon and
first of the series, "The Auburn Spir­it,"
was probably the first cartoon
ever published by a southern college
newspaper.
Other marks of distinct progress
have been in evidence from time to
time, until at present The Plainsman
is looked upon as a leading college
weekly, especially in the South.
ALSOBROOK AND
TRUCK RUN AMUCK
Stories of pedestrains being over­run,
injured, and even often killed by
autos have been quite common during
the past few years. But here comes
a reversed situation.
P. H. Alsobrook, Sophomore taking
Agricultural Education, was slightly
injured when he ran into a lumber
truck on the Ag Campus Wednesday
afternoon. Bruises on the body and
the left arm resulted; none of these
were serious, however.
Alsobrook, in escaping the attack
of a volley of green peaches from a
fellow, was running forward and at
the same time watching the pursuer.
He ran into the truck, which had al­most
reached a standstill, without be­ing
previously aware if its nearness.
The involved vehicle was a lumber
truck, being driven by a negro. The
truck was not injured!

Lacquer Solvents Are
Discussed by Chemists
An interesting discussion on Lac­quer
Solvents was given by Mr. C. F.
Walters before the Chemical Society
Monday night. In this he stressed
the American development of quick
drying lacquers which are replacing
oil and color varnishes. "In turn this
leads to a greater demand for solvents,
hitherto unknown," Mr. Walters said.
Alcohol, which means only one indi­vidual
to the prohibitionists, is really
the name of a numerous chemical fam­ily
which is very important to the
lacquer growth. In 1919 the scope of
alcohols was limited to three mater­ials;
namely, Wood, Ethyl and Ami
Alcohols. Today there are dozens of
these families to be obtained in large
quantities.
Mr. Walters stated, "In addition to
the alcohols many other chemical fam­ilies,
formerly mere curiosities, are
contributing essentially to the growth
of the young Lacquer Industry."

tractively arranged for these pages,
consisting of scenes of buildings of
the school of Agriculture, radio ac­tivities,
college officials, coaches, base­ball
activities, main campus scenes,
various individuals and others of vital
interest.
This is the first time such a sup­plement
has occurred in The Farmer.
The purpose of this feature is to pre­sent
the college, and especially the Ag­ricultural
department, to the people
of the state, and to the supporters of
the publication and institution. A
special effort is being made to present
Auburn to the graduating classes of
the various state high schools through
this means.
The Alabama Farmer is one of the
foremost college agricultural publi­cations
in the country, having gained
the distinct honor of becoming a mem­ber
of the Agricultural College Mag­azines,
Associated. This publication
is now in its eighth year, having
evolved from a small mimeographed
copy to a real and recognized 28-paged
magazine. It is published by the Stu­dents
Agricultural Club, this organi­zation
being one of the oldest and
liveliest on the college campus.

M. W. Crenshaw, who graduated
at Auburn 1914 was present. Mr.
Crenshaw has spent most of his time
since graduation in the north. He
advised Auburn men to get their
experience in the north, but to re­turn
to the south for permanent
work. Mr. Crenshaw was reared at
Athens, Alabama. He was the guest
of Professor W. W. Hill.
Professor J. C. Grimes reported on
plans for the Auburn curb market
which the Kiwanis Club has been
promoting. He announced that May
3, 8 a. m. is the date set for the open­ing.
Other guests of the club were W

a perfect one; Sellers made 98. Helms
and Strawberry received the cup and
blue ribbon. Bullard on Eddie re­ceived
the red ribbon. The third place
was a tie. The results of the tie are
as follows: Fuller 98; Nagley 98;
Clingo 99; Horn 99; Sellers 96. On
the four foot jump between Clingo
and Horn for the third, place Horn
scored 99 and Clingo scored 98.
The rescue race was the most ex­citing
race of the afternoon, especially
when Helms imitated the Prince of
Wales and took a spill just after he
had picked his man up. Fuller and
Fowler 1st; McClendon and Longshore
2nd; Rudder and Gregory 3rd.
The Musical chair event was the
comedy event of the show. Twelve
men started in the race. The object
was to eliminate the man that did not
get a chair. There were eleven chairs.
The end was a brotherly finish. W.
Fuller won the cup; J. Fuller won
second place; "Red" McClendon won
third place.
The cups and ribbons were awarded
by Dr. B. B. Ross of the faculty. As­sisting
him was Col. Samford of Ope-lika,
who attended the show with his
wife. The members of the baseball
and track team were the ticket takers
and ushers for the afternoon.
The judges for the occasion were:
Major Jones, Capt. Busch and Lt.
Burback of Ft. Benning, Ga.; W. D.
Martin, Dr. Suggs, Dr. McAdory and
Hugh Tamplin of Auburn. Lt. Leitch
was recorder. Major Jones, Capt.
Busch and Lt. Burback came to Au­burn
for the sole purpose of seeing
the horse show.
Capt. Anderson estimates there to
have been between 750 and 1000 peo­ple
present at the show.
Clingo's mount ran into an auto­mobile
just before the rescue race and
forced Clingo to bite the dirt. Clingo
suffered the usual soreness, but the
horse suffers a badly skinned leg.
We only hope that horse shows in
the future will be as exciting as this
one.
