The third annual Military Ball at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
will be held on Friday evening, March
8, at the Auburn Gymnasium, is was
announced by the military department
Saturday. This social event, which
is one of the most brilliant to be held
on the Auburn campus each year, is
the center of interest for all eligible
R. 0. T. C. officers at this time.
The commanding general and staff
from the fourth corps area with head­quarters
at Atlanta as well as com­manding
general and officers at Fort
Benning have all been issued special
invitations to attend.
The affair will be strictly military
in that the decorations are of this
motive and those in attendance will
wear the regulation dress uniform.
Cadet officers composed of seniors
taking the R. O. T. C. course and all
reserve officers as well as the regular
army officers attached to the R. O. T.
C. unit will participate along with
the invited guests.
Previously this affair has been a
part of the Washington's birthday
celebration coming on the evening of
February 21. The date was changed

EXHIBIT IS SENT TO
M.I.T. ART SCHOOL
30 Sketches Applied Art Clas* In
This Exhibit
An applied art exhibit of 30
sketches by freshman and sophomore
students at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute has been sent to the Massa­chusetts
School of Art in Boston
where it will be put on display in
their exhibit halls. This privilege
comes as a distinct honor to the work
done at Auburn in applied art and to
Professor Roy L. Staples under
whose direction the exhibit was made.
The Auburn sketches, which will
remain on exhibit for one week, in­clude
those of still life in pencil and
charcoal, nature studies in water
color, rendering in color, and prob­lems
in design.
Though the applied art course at
Auburn is only in its second year it
is quite plain that this work is meet­ing
an increasing demand for trained
artists who will be an important part
in the industrial growth of the South.
This is true because any manufac­tured
article must first be designed
by a trained artist.
The following students prepared
sketches for this exhibit: J. D. Can­terbury,
Raoul Herbert, Hubert Har-rjs,
Phil Hamill, T. M. Williams, T.
B. Kirkland, Eugene Gray, G. Wingo,
Hugh Ellis, R. Rutland, Kay Wil­liams,
B. A. England, G. L. Hicks,
J. C. Alexander, and Geo. L. Boswell.
ARE WELL KNOWN HERE
P r o g r e s s On Annual V e r y Sat­i
s f a c t o r y To Staff
The selection of beauties for the
1929 Glomerata, made by Earl Carroll,
is announced to-day by the staff. The
young ladies chosen are Misses Eliza­beth
Davis, of Montgomery; Madge
Hardy, of Birmingham; Mary Phillips
Orme, of Atlanta; Marjorie Clifton
of Atlanta; Janice Lane, of Sylacau-ga;
Bo Prather, of Miami, Florida.
These selections were made from a
large number of pictures sent to the
New York theatrical producer by the
staff, and represent the pick of an
authority on feminine pulchritude.
Mr. Carroll stated that he made a
very careful examination of the photo­graphs
sent to him and that his choice
is the result of much consideration.
The staff has a number of photo­graphs
that were handed in for this
section but that were not chosen, and
would like to be notified if any of
these pictures are to be used in the
Senior Favorites section.
The staff reports that the progress
on the Glomerata is about normal for
this time of the school year, and that
indications point to a very good annual
for the class of 1929. Proofs have
been received on much of the work,
and the staff is more than satisfied
with them.
Local Circle ODK
To Be Represented
McGhee and Ford to Attend National
Conventions
If present plans materialize, Omega
Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa will
have a large representation at the
'National Convention which will be
held at the University of Alabama,
March 1 and 2. Addison McGhee,
president of Omega Circle and Joe
Ford, business manager of the Glom­erata
will be the official delegates
of the local circle. A number of oth­ers
have expressed a desire to attend,
according to announcements made to­day
by officers of the circle.
Dean W. L. Prince of the Universi­ty
of Richmond, national president of
the fraternity who installed Omega
Circle last May will preside over the
convention.
From recent reports it is estimated
that approximately one hundred mem­bers
of the order will attend the con­vention.
The Supreme Council of
Omicron Delta Kappa will convene in
Tuscaloosa, Feb. 28, the day before
the convention starts.
Out of twenty-four circles, sixteen
have a rating of A. Omega Circle,
the youngest chapter and the only one
located in a technical institution is
given first rating.
KNAPP CONDUCTS
YMCA DISCUSSION
Speaks To Normal Group Monday-
Night of This Week
High ideals and Christian leader­ship
are the two important duties of
the Y. M. C. A. lieutenants in carry­ing
out the "Y" program, according
to Dr. Knapp, who conducted the first
"Y" Normal Discussion of the semes­ter
Monday night, February 18.
Although last semester's work was
very successful, there is room fdr
greater advancement, and it was
brought out by Dr. Knapp that the
burden for this advancement rests
upon the shoulders of the lieutenants.
The captains, majors and president
can be a great help, but they do not
have the oportunity to mee tthe boys
as do the lieutenants. Hence they
must convey the ideals and principles
of the "Y" to the students.
Won Fifty Yard High Hurdles
In M e a d o w b r o o k G a m e s.
INJURES ANKLE MUSCLES
A p p e a r s Again To Surprise
Fans
Weems Baskin, former Alabama
Polytechnic Institute track star, now
with the New York Athletic Club has
broken two world's records in the past
six days. In the New York A. C.
games in Madison Square Garden
Monday night, he won the sixty-yard
high hurdles in record time, beating
the world's record Jjy a good margin.
In the Meadowbrook games in Phila­delphia
Tuesday night he won the fif­ty
yard high hurdles heat in 6.5 sec­onds,
breaking the world's record of
6.6. In the final heat he crossed the
tape first with a time equalling the
world's mark. The finish was only
10 yards from the fourth and last
hurdle. Although the wall was pad­ded,
due to Baskin's immense frame
and his momentum, he injured his
ankle when he could not stop before
reaching the wall. An x-ray revealed
that although no bones were broken
several ligaments were badly torn. It
was expected that he would not ap­pear,
again this season. Much to the
surprise of fans, he entered the race
Monday night.
Baskin is the product of Coach Wil-
Wilbur Hutsell. After completing his
college career at Auburn where he
was prominent on the cinder path, he
has since broken several national and
world's- records.

TO BEGIN THIS AFTERNOON
LIONS CLUB
INVITES PRESS
CLUB MEMBER
According to a statement issued
today by Rosser Alston, chairman of
the committee in charge of housing
and entertaining the visiting high
school basketball teams, representing
the Blue Key Honor Fraternity, final
arrangements have been completed
for their welfare. For the past two
years Blue Key has cooperated with
athletic officials in making the Cot-otn
States Tournament successful.
Coach Hutsell, founder of the Cot­ton
States Interscholastic Basketball
Tournament in 1922, was present at
the Blue Key luncheon Tuesday, and
in a brief address commended the fra­ternity
for the work done in the past,
and stated that he saw in the Blue
Key a practical, wide-awake group
of leaders ready to cooperate and
further interests of the institution.
Wednesday afternoon, night, and
Thursday morning, as the contesting
teams arrive, they will be taken in
charge by members of the fraternity.
Blue. Key has taken over the respon­sibility
of housing and entertaining
the teams while they are here. First
they will aid in getting the arriving
teams registered, and then will distri­bute
them among the different fra­ternities
that are cooperating with
the Blue Key in caring for them. All
sixteen teams have been housed, and
arrangements made for their care
while they are here. The visiting
teams, while guests of the college,
will be honorees at the special cere­mony
on Washington's birthday,
when Congressman Bowling will ad­dress
the Cadet Corps. The Corps
will be reviewed by Governor Graves
and his staff.
HIXON IS TAKEN
TO MONTGOMERY
Professor Charles R. Hixon, of the
department of mechanical engineer­ing
left Auburn Tuesday morning for
Montgomery to- undergo a serious
operation for internal complications.
Being operated on Wednesday morn­ing,
he had, according to reports re­ceived
Wednesday afternoon, success­fully
survived the operation and be­gun
to convalesce. He is in Saint
Margaret's hospital.
Falling in line with the progressive
attitude taken by the Kiwanis Club
last week when it invited a represen­tative
of the Plainsman to be pres­ent
at each of its weekly meetings,
the Lions Club makes the announce­ment
to-day of the extension of a
standing invitation to the Plainsman
to have one of its reporters present
at their open meetings. By taking
this commendable action the Lions
Club assures the townspeople of Au­burn
of an interesting and reliable
account each week of the happenings
at these luncheons, which are natural­ly
of great interest to the public.
When such a group of men, as attend
these meetings, get together, news is
in the making, and by inviting a mem­ber
of the Press Club to be present
the Lions Club makes it possible for
the Plainsman to give the news to the
citizens of Auburn in much less time
than would otherwise be possible.
BIDS ARE BEING
TAKEN FOR NEW
ROTC UNIFORM
According to information received
from Major Kennedy, the officers in
charge of R. O. T. C. instruction are
busy working on the details for Au­burn's
ne wuniforms. The change is
to go into effect at the beginning of
the term in September 1929.
Various firms which manufacture
high grade uniforms have been ask­ed
to quote prices, submit samples of
cloth, and make up uniforms for the
officers to inspect.
The officials of the.War Depart­ment
plan to nave on hand by fall
at the beginning of the semester a
sufficient number of uniforms to
equip all basic students. Advanced
course students will prdbably have
made-to-measure uniforms of the
same general cut as that of the basic
students. The present Junior class
will retain their present uniforms un­til
they graduate, and will not be re­quired
to buy new uniforms. This
plan will work out all right as they
will be Seniors then, holding the posi­tion
of cadet officers, and will not be
in the ranks.
The announcement of change in
style of uniforms has been met with
enthusiasm and universal approve­ment
by the students, faculty and of­ficers
in charge at Auburn.

In Extension Work
The addition of seven correspon­dence
courses in bookkeeping, account­ing,
and related lines of study were
announced Monday by Dr. B. R. Sho-walter,
director of extension teaching
at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
These courses include one in elemen­tary
bookkeeping, elementary account­ing,
principles of accounting, cost ac­counting,
public accounting and audit­ing,
business arithmetic, and business
English.
(Continued on page 6)
The six hundred odd Engineers on
the campus will doff their overalls
and turn out Friday, March 29th, for
the second annual Engineer's Day.
Tau Beta Pi, in conjunction with the
other technical societies, will conduct
the amusements.
There will be no classes in the en­gineering
school after twelve o'clock,
the first number on the program is
an entertainment, featuring a techni­cal
movie and other numbers. A ban­quet
will be held that night with a
speaker of note present.
After the banquet there will be the
crowning event of the day, an all en­gineers'
danct, held at the gym from
9:30 'till 2:00.
This is one of the first new move­ments
that coincides with Dr. Knapp's
idea of more of the right kind of so­cial
life on the campus. Last year
marked the first Engineer's Day. The
attendance was about two hundred.
It was a success. This year the plans
are of a much wider scope. The at­tendance
will be correspondingly in
creased. Unfortunately, the banquet
facilities are limited so the banquet
tickets will probably not number over
a hundred and fifty. The gym ought
to be big enough to hold all the en­gineers
for the dance. Watch the
Plainsman for further details.
Pharmacy Dean Is
To Inspect Auburn
Is Head of the Pharmacy College at
Ohio State
According to information received
by Prof. L. S. Blake, head of the lo­cal
school of Pharmacy, from Dean
C. B. Jordon, chairman executive com­mittee
of the American Association
College of Pharmacy, an inspection of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute school
of Pharmacy will be made by Dr. C.
A. Dye. Mr. Dye is dean of the col­lege
of Pharmacy at Ohio State Uni­versity.
This inspection is conduct­ed
every three years.
At the last regular meeting of the
association, held in Portland, Maine,
August, 1928, the assdciation voted
that beginning the scholastic year of
1932 the minimum course in Pharma­cy
at all member institutions must be
the four year course. This will mean
that the present three year course will
not be offered after that date.
These institutions to be inspected
shall be incorporated as a college or
school of Pharmacy, or be a depart­ment
of a regular incorporated educa­tional
institution, or a department of
a state university, or under the super­vision
by an incorporated pharma­ceutical
society.
On his trip south Dr. Dye will in­spect
the University of Tennessee and
Meharry College at Nashville. Au­burn
is the only college in the state of
Alabama holding membership in this
Association and was the fifth col­lege
in the country and the first in
the South to obtain membership. The
course was established in the year of
1896.
The annual features of Washing­ton's
birthday will be celebrated on
the Auburn campus Friday, Febru­ary
22. The Military department has
planned an elaborate program and
are expecting to have the best review
of the year on that day. The ROTC b u r n athletic
unit will assemble at ten o'clock and
at ten fifteen the Adjutant's call
will be given. The unit will be re­viewed
by Governor Graves, Con­gressman
Bowling, Dr. Knapp and
other members of the board of trus­tees.
Each year the governor of Ala­bama
comes to this festival, and it
is especially interesting to Gov.
Graves because he is an ex-army of­ficer,
attaining many honors while
he was in service.
Following the review, the cere­monies
will be continued in Lang-don
Hall, at which time Judge W. B.
Bowling will be the principal speak­er.
Judge Bowling is a widely
known speaker and everyone who can
possibly hear him should accept the
opportunity.
Following this address, Dr. and
Mrs. Knapp will entertain Gov.
Graves, Judge Bowling, and other
members of the board of trustees.
At one thirty the board of trustees
will hold their regular meeting, and
at two o'clock there will be a double-header
baseball game played between
the first and second battalions and
between the third battalion and
engineers. These games will be play­ed
on the varsity field.
Dr. Knapp Speaks At
Farm Bureau Meeting
Pictures Changes That Have Occurred
In Agriculture
Optimism for the future of agri­culture
predominated at the joint
meeting and barbecue of the Mont­gomery
County Farm Bureau and
the County Council of Home Demon­stration
Clubs at the courthouse last
Saturday. Dr. Bradford Knpap was
the principal speaker. Charles W.
Rittenour, president of the County
Farm Bureau, presided.
Declaring that to protect and build
soil fertility, produce most of the food
consumed by the family and all of
the food consumed by the livestock and
to get a cash income from at least
three sources is a safe plan for agri­culture,
Dr. Knapp reached the cli­max
of his speech. He pointed out
to the fact that the experiment sta­tion
of Auburn is and has been find­ing
out facts for farmers of the state
and that the extension service is func­tioning
to carry these messages to
the rural people. Before giving the
safe program for agriculture, Dr.
Knapp made a plea to the people
present to stand by him and other of­ficials
of the college in seeing that
Auburn is not cut off from the rural
schools and life of the state. He said
that it is very important that the
right kind of teachers be placed in the
rural schools in order that they may
give a better point of view to agricul­ture,
thus causing the boys and girls
to have a desire to stay on the farm.
Dr. Knapp said: "If you cut the
agricultural leaders, thinkers and
workers off from the school system
of the state; if you deprive Auburn
of its chance to have a place in in­fluencing
what is taught and how it
is taught in the country school of
Alabama, you have sent the state into
the race with other states with one
foot hobbled. Teachers trained one
way can strip the country of its best-
(Continued on page 6)
According to an announcement is­sued
today by Coach Wilbur Hut­sell,
in charge of the Eighth Annual
Cotton States Basketball Tourna­ment,
final plans have been com­pleted
and all is in readiness for the
coming of the sixteen high school
teams that will compete for honors
in the cage meet. Five states will
be represented in the tourney this
year, Coach Hutsell said.
The drawings were made by Au-officials
yesterday
morning and the sixteen teams noti­fied.
The teams will be met on ar­rival
by representatives of the Blue
Key Honor Society who have com­plete
charge of local arrangements
and entertainment.
The tournament this year will be
held under the rules and regulations
of the National High School Athletic
Federation, official sanction having
been given by that body. According
to the rules, many strong teams who
have made good records in the past
will not compete this year because
they are not members of the state
associations.
After careful comparison of the
records by Auburn coaches, the six­teen
teams whose records were con­sidered
best were issued invitations
Monday. Coach Hutsell has been in
telegraphic communication with the
various teams since their acceptance.
Several quintets registered yesterday
afternoon and last night. The re­mainder
are expected to arrive early
today.
While in Auburn the visitors will
be the guests of the college. Frater­nities
who will keep teams while here
are Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa
Sigma, Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Delta,
Beta Kappa, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sig­ma
Pi, Square and Compass, Alpha
Lambda Tau, Theta Kappa Nu, Theta
Chi, Sigma Phi Sigma, Phi Delta Chi,
Alpha Gamma Rho, Phi Kappa Tau,
and the Tau Omega Chi.
The Cotton States cage tourney
was founded in 1922 by Coach Wil­bur
Hutsell. During the first year
29 teams entered. The following
year 20 teams entered. In 1924 the
present plan was inaugurated which
tends to foster fairer competition.
Those who have won the Cotton
States title in past years are: 1922—
Tech High, University High, runner-up;
1923—G. M. A., University High,
runner up; 1924—Simpson High, G.
M. A., runner-up; 1925—Marshall-ville
(Ga.), G. M. A., runner-up;

YWCA COUNCIL
MEMBER VISITS
Has Conducted Numerous Meetings
Here Since Arriving
Miss Carrie E. Mears, of the stu­dent
council of the Y. W. C. A., is in
Auburn, making a visit to the Auburn
chapter of the Y. W. C. A. Miss
Mears, with the headquarters in New
York, is secretary of the National
Student Council of the Y. W. C. A.,
and is now touring the South, visiting
the student chapters in the colleges
and universities in this section of the
country.
The purpose of Miss Mears' visit is
to make a visit to the chapter, and
discuss the phases of Y. W. C. A.
work, and at the same time discuss
any problems that concern the or­ganization.
Miss Mears arrived in Auburn Fri­day
night, having visited several col­leges
in Georgia; she arrived too late
to attend the banquet of the Auburn
Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.
Since she has been here, several
meetings have been conducted, and
Miss Blanche Tancredi, president of
the Auburn chapter, announces that
an open meeting will be held on Sun-dsy
afternoon at two o'clock.

and that they will feel justly repaid when
such is rendered in return.
At this time we are not at all unmind­ful
of the national distinction Auburn has
attained through military channels during
the past eight years. We attribute this
largely to the efficient management in
military facilities here. What an advantage
these new uniforms can be made in carry­ing
our honors still further.
With these new uniforms, a substantial
foundation in military work, and such an
efficient corps of commanding officers as
graces our unit, we should have not limit­ing
factor in pleasant, efficient R. O. T. C.
training henceforth.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Miss Dobbs
Honors Auburn
Almost daily, it seems, are we reminded
that the men and women connected with
Auburn are nationally recognized and ap­preciated.
A distinct honor comes to us,
as well as to our Dean of Women personal­ly,
when she is selected by the president
of the National Education Association of
the United States as a delegate from this
country to the conference of the World
Feredation Education Association to be
held in Geneva, Switzerland next sum­mer.
Miss Dobbs has not yet decided wheth­er
she will accept the appointment or not,
but we hope that she can do so, and
be one of the representatives of this coun­try
at the international meeting.. We con­gratulate
Miss Dobbs upon receiving this
outstanding recognition, and we congratu­late
Auburn upon being honored indirectly
by having this appointment come to our
Dean of Women.
Kiwanis Invites
Reporter To Luncheon
The recent action of the Kiwanis club, in
inviting the Press Club to send a represen­tative
to each meeting is appreciated very
much by this paper. By this means the
paper will be able accurately to report the
activities of this important civic club, and
one reporter will be given the opportunity
each week to enjoy the luncheon of the club,
meeting there the leaders of the town.
Universal Approval
Well Merited
The recent announcement made by the
Military Department here, relates to se­curing
grey uniforms of a different style
to those now being used, is meeting with
practically universal approval among the
student body. It is generally regarded that
this move is one of distinct advancement
in Auburn's Military field. Apparently
this is a denotation of advancement which
is in keeping with the splendid progressive-ness
exercised by Military authorities here
during recent years.
The Plainsman, believing that it express­es
the sentiments of the vast majority of
students here, justly lauds the R. O. T. C.
department for this accomplishment. And
not only is our praise restricted to this
one act, but it is offered in commendation
of the many other attributes attained dur­ing
recent years—and which bids fair to
continue as the years come and go.
Despite the rambling criticisms some­times
directed at the Auburn Military de­partment,
its executives invariably hold
the best interests of the institution and the
students^ in view, working steadily toward
this end. And, seemingly regardless of
proffered rebuke or criticism, improve­ments
founded upon thorough management
continue to flow our way. This we unre­servedly
attribute to the efficient and capa­ble
personnel that constitutes the leader­ship
of an important, developing branch
of the college—the R. O. T. C. unit.
Appearance and care of present uniforms
have been repeated objects of would-be
severe criticism. One cadet bemoans the
fact that during his two years of compul­sory
military training here, he has spent
enough time wrapping leggins to purchase
a complete uniform that would require no
such waste of time.. With the arrival of
new, straight-leg trousers as the present
proposal implies, this grudge can not longer
be resorted to. Keeping the khaki in a
respectably dressy appearance has also
been a mark of buffeting; with the smooth,
snappy greys this will also have to be dis­carded.
Members of the R. O. T\ C. unit should
bear in mind, however, that this advantage
is being offered for their benefit, and they
will be expected to make the very best of
it. While the uniform is a necessary part
of the soldier, we must not overlook the
truth in the old adage that "Clothes do not
make the man." The appearance of gray
uniforms will not mean that we are to
lounge on easy cushions in our rooms

more recompense for their efforts than this,
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Sir:
We were greatly amused at the stand
taken by Mr. Benjamin Provost in your
issue of the fourteenth in respect to en­gineering
students and their courses. We
might add that if your, advertising pro­grams
falls down you might offer the
above mentioned article to College Humor,
Uncle Billie's Whiz Bang, etc.
Mr. Provost takes the attitude that the
only requisite of a good engineer is a few
years of experience in digging ditches,
climbing poles and fixing leaky toilets
while the reqisites of an academic man, or
as he infers, a gentleman, are many years
of study in art, music, philosophy, litera­ture,
economics, languages, history and
politics. In our opinion he has the cart
before the horse.
Mr. Provost's idea of engineers learning
how to build bridges, mine coal, and oper­ate
power plants by only the \vell known
teacher, "Experience," is not only imprac­tical
but illogical. When you begin to
compare the results obtained by a man
whose knowledge is limited only to exper­ience
to those obtained by a man who has
had the advantage of a technical educa­tion
the illogicalness of the above argu­ment
is quite apparent. We would like
to ask this highly cultivated columnist'
whether he would for example rather leave
"terra firma" in an airplane designed by
a thoroughly practical and technical aero­nautical
engineer or one designed by a man
who has worked in an airplane factory for
a few years? Most likely Benjamin's fool-hardiness
and desire to uphold his cherish­ed
principals exceeds his common sense.
He states that he expected to find men
with an open minded scientific attitude
toward education when he came to Au­burn,
but instead found men who would not
realize the value of a cultural education.
It seems that Mr. Provost is slightly nar­row
minded himself when he refuses to
recognize the value of a technical training.
Even Francis Bacon, one of the most cul­tured
men who ever spoke the English
language, realized the value of science and
devoted many years of his life towards
that end.
Benjamin insinuates that one who pur­sues
a technical education is taking a short
cut to a college degree. It seems to us that
a man who studies art, music, philosophy,
literature, economics, languages, history,
and politics to the exclusion of all else in
this practical age of science and invention
is merely taking a short cut through life.
For after all this is a pretty practical old
world and we would like to ask where such
airy minded idealists as Mr. Provost would
be if it were not for the practical hard
thinking engineers of today.
Technically yours,
N. G. NEERS.
Thoughtlessness, in­difference
or poor
sportsmanship, what­ever
it was, the ac­tion
of a large group
on Monday night in
getting up and start­ing
out of the room
at least three minutes
before the end of
the game with Flori­da
was inexcusable in every way. I can­not
understand it. I have seen this stu­dent
body stand fast and stay to the bit­ter
end on the foot ball field time after
time and have admired their fine sports­manship
on such occasions. Surely, the
team had an off night. It was hard to
watch. But you must remember that the
same team has played a good game and will
play a good game again in the future.
Not only was this action discourteous to our
visitors but more so to our own men. It
created confusion, lost us any advantage
there might have been in the last few
minutes of the game. I felt much ashamed
to think this action might hurt us in our
standing among real men and our rival
colleges. Let us resolve that this shall
never happen again. Let every real Au­burn
man stick to his place until the last
gun is fired. Stay put! When we have to
take defeat let us stand up and take it like
men and not slink away with backs turned.
As I have said, this may have been thought­lessness,
indifference or poor sportsman­ship
but whatever it is let us see to it that
the same thing does not happen twice.
* - * * - iii *
The world of today is advancing along
most lines with great rapidity. This is pe­culiarly
true of the sciences. What was
taught yesterday is behind the times today.
Some men forget this truth because they
are not awake to these things. No teacher
of today can travel the rut of routine,
teaching the same thing yesterday, today
and forever and do either himself, his stu­dents
or his college justice. This day and
age demands of every teacher that he know
the last word, the most recent discovery,
the- most advanced truth of his subject.
Every member of the faculty must devote
time to the task of keeping up. I recog­nize
the fact that the administration must
help by encouragement and plan but no
administration can do it all. We must move
together.
« AUBURN FOOTPRINTS
" L i t t l e T h i n g s"
By Tom Bigbee
One smile is worth far more than a doz­en
frowns at any stage of the game.
Which brings to mind that fact that the
spirit displayed at the first game with Flo­rida
this week wasn't at all commendable.
Try to picture your own self on the court,
fighting as if for dear life to win; then
how do you suppose you would -feel on
glancing around to see your classmates fil­ing
out of the gym?
Desertion has never won a battle; neith­er
has it contributed to the fight or reserve
of our basketball team when it is doing its
vei-y best to win.
Looks like somebody will have to go back
and hunt up some of the old Auburn Spi­rit—
the kind that keeps the student body
yelling and whooping through the last
whistle, and even after the gun has been
fired..
We believe it is nothing short of a down­right
shame to desert our team in action.
When are we going to awaken to the
realisation that five men can't win a game
alone? The players themselves will tell
you that the spirit of the student body
is their major motive. And if we are go­ing
to destroy that, then what care should
the team have for even trying to win?
Try to imagine yourself playing a game
before a razzing, hissing, disloyal group
of spectators—would you feel pepped up
over it? This is a very serious matter
that we should direct more devotion into.
Think it over seriously.
You fellows who grumbled chronically
over having to wear slouchy khaki in drill
—what are you going to hatch up for a
"griping" subject now?
Monday morning: So much to do! Sat­urday
night: So little done. And so, far
far into the weeks.
THE GEDUNK
I am the playful Gedunk. I am fairly
bubbling over with fun at all times and
must out with it on all occasions. It makes
no difference to me whether or not some­one
is trying to study or is busy with some­thing
else, I must have my little practical
joke. I can think of such original tricks
to play on my friends, no one ever knows
what to expect next, and I do enjoy it.
No circumstance is ever too serious or is
anyone ever too busy to prevent me from
having my fun. A few people have hinted
that I am a bore and that perhaps it would
have been better had I never been born.
If I feel good, why should not the whole
world benefit by it? Since my wit is not
sought, I shall force it upon you.
HELP?
Dear Junior Civils, ^--
I have been informed that my brother, J. D. Hawshaw has been seen in your
midst. He left home with the deepest determination (and my watch) to become
as great a detective as his Father. His last letter stated that he was mixed up in
a gang with Jimmie Ware, alias "Ladies Man", Bob Willingham alias "Jazz Baby",
John Wilson, alias "Sheffield Shiek", and A. V. Smith, alias "Miss Hap."
Friends I implore your aid in finding my lost brother, saving him from these
infamdus men. It is also rumored that he is taking a subject from a certain pro­fessor
who is closely connected with the town of London, and has acquired habits
of same town.
Again I ask your aid in finding my brother. Don't let him join the W's.

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE
In the early dawn, with sails full set,
The ships of Life put forth to sea,
With waters calm, and steady breeze,
Nor can we tell what their fates will be.
They start at par; all side by side,
And sail to the West in the path of the sun,
\_ To begin the great journey of Life's one intent;
By nightfall their journey is lost—or won!
A contrary breeze from the South springs up
n^And strengthens to the fury of an ocean gale.
One by one the ships veer off,
Til one alone to the West holds sail.
By noon they are scattered all over the sea,
One here, one there, and one heading West,
And hour by hour, as the day goes by,
Pulling farther and farther ahead of the rest.
As the sun sinks low, to the water's edge,
This one holds true to the harrowing test,
And with sails full set, still holding her course,
She sails alone to the Golden West.

You do say the cutest things in your tabbleoid sheet. I'll tell you a secret—the
reason I thinks so much of you, Pigg-Wiggy, is that you are so goshamighty clever.
Great Big Digit (that's my nicky-namy for you) have you ever been down in
that awful Ag Bottom? I's reading a book the other day on how to make love, and
my roommate said I's wasting my time. Told me to go down there and I'd find
out heaps. Well, sir, I goes down there and the first thing I hear is "smack!" some­where
over in the bushes. Now I believe somebody slapped somebody's face—cause
I is so innocent—but then I was downright scairt . I yelled, and whattayano? Folks
come arunning out of them bushes like pigs, but for me I thinks they'us having a

Presbyterian College's football team may
appear in knitted football pants next sea­son,
according to the Presbyterian College

The advantage' of the knitted pants is in
their ability to streth and give with the

"I hate to see a girl smoke a cigarette
because I object to kissing a gill whose

This is the consensus of opinion at the

of co-eds who smoke. That's strange.
Most men do not strenuously object to
women smoking as a matter of principle,
but they do protect when "their girl"
smokes.

AMONG WHICH W. A. P. I. IS BEST
Radio is rapidly gaining recognition in
the colleges, both as a medium for broad­casting
college activities and as a course,
of study for those who wish to make it their
life work. Many of the larger stations are
employing only college men in the capacity
of announcer or director—men who have
had microphone experience.
There are now sixty-three college radio
stations in the United States. This is par­ticularly
remarkable, since it must be re­membered
that radio as a college institu­tion
is comparatively new. The college
broadcast lectures, educational talks, talent
recruited from the student body, etc. Some
of the schools have large and beautiful
studios with a staff of artists equal to any
commercial station.
:j: m m _ j|c ^
SUCH IS THE PURPOSE OF THOSE
That "hoboing" is popular among
Furman men as well as students of practi­cally
all other universities and colleges,
is a well-established fact. Also, the fact
that some time is taken out in the lazy art
of waiting for rides is also shown by other
things than statistics.
At the point where the Newberry road
is joined by the Columbia cut-off, about
two miles this side of Newberry, there is
a sign-post with several signs on it. Perus­ing
this board a few days -ago, a pair of
Furman men discovered that the same trail
had been used by others, and those others
had to wait a little there also. On the
backs of the signs, there are names of
numerous students from Clemson, Furman,
Carolina, Auburn, Citadel and other col­leges.
Some of themvput the date of their
passage there, and still others left brief
notes for some who were presumably fol­lowing
close behind them. Why don't

somebody start an honorary frat for ho­boes?
Probably the opinion is that, one
would have to cease activity though after
being elected, as in other honorary frater­nities.
WOULDN'T IT GO BIG HERE
An attempt at Northwestern to estab-i
lish a "Dutch" system of dating where men
| and women would share equally in the ex­penses
resulted in two poorly attended
dances.
Although women are geting more and
more into salaried positions that make
them partly or totally independent, it will
be a long time before they will give up the
security of having a man to fall back on
when they tire of work or develop a strong
penchant for homes and babies. Letting
the boy friend pay for the movie is one
way of training the husband to pay the
rent or taxes. Students at Northwestern
were flying in the face of human nature.
It is surprising that they failed.
* * * * *
MEN HAVE MORE SENSE
Going to college seems to have a bad
effect upon the weaker sex, if statistics
mean anything, or at least it serves to make
them more independent.
Only forty-six per cent of the women
who receive sheep-skins from Ohio State
ever partake in matrimonial bliss. The
statement is also made that only in Ark­ansas
and Massachusetts do the majority
of women graduates marry.
The statement has been made that fig-gures
don't lie, but these may be taken to
mean one of two things; either women be­come
wise with education, or men graduate
with more sense. The correct interpreta­tion
depends upon the prejudices of the
individual.
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.
* * * * *
THE ORDER of business for today
seems to be explaining something
that I have previously written.
Every day my already-low opinion of my
ability to express what is on my mind is
further lowered by finding people who mis­understand
something that I say or write.
Two engineers literally lay me low in a let­ter
published on this page today, because
they seem to think that I undervalue the
worth and importance of technical train­ing.
The members of the debating teams
• are complaining that the Plainsman has
taken a very unsympathetic attitude toward
forensics, because of some, remarks printed
in this column. Unless the editor can find
something else with which to fill up this
space in each issue I will soon have to hire
a cartoonist to draw illustrations of my
points; I can't seem to get them across.
A! S FOR THE engineers; my conten­tion
is that many students in the
academic school were narrowminded
because they refused to attach any value
to technical education, and that some tech­nical
students here are narrowminded when
they refuse to see any worth in a cultural
training. Many students at both schools
are not narrow—many of them see the
other man's point and see the necessity for
both.
I complained about the viewpoint of the
academic students; when I came here I ex­pected
to find things different, but too
many technical men have the same narrow
outlook. The two engineers have the im­pression
that the scorn of technicians is
my view; that I say learn only by exper­ience;
that is false; I only remarked what
many of my classmates at the other school
believed. I did not insinuate that a techni­cal
course is a short cut to an education;
I mentioned having heard that view ex­pressed
elsewhere.
I am fully aware that the misunderstand­ing
is merely the result of my crude ex­pression;
I no more agree with one narrow
view than with the other; I fully appreciate
the value of trained technicians; I had not
meant to express any personal view; I
meant to present the two conflicting views
and to call them both narrow-minded. I
hope that this will clear the column of the
charge of narrow-mindedness made by the
correspondents. I assure the engineers
that "narrowminded ignoramus" fits the
academic student as well as it does the
other, and that it is applicable only to a
certain number of both.
* * * * *
IN LAST Sunday's issue I made a few re­marks
about debating. I thought that
I was paying the debaters a high com­pliment
by saying that debating is not for
the hoi-polloi; I thought that I was making
it clear that I didn't believe the dumb ma­jority
would be competent to judge com­plex
arguments. However, I hear that I
have slammed forensics.
Now I know that only men with a cer­tain
type of mind can become successful
debators. I know this because I once tried
to debate. I repeat, I tried. The certain
type of mind is above the average in
clearness and alertness. The debater must
think quickly, deeply and in a logical man­ner.
He must be able to put across his
points in a convincing manner. For this
reason I say that debating is not for the
masses; it is not for the rah-rah boys. I
doubt that the whole school was ever deep­ly
interested in forensics because only in
Utopia would one find a student body
100 per cent competent to be interested.
TO-MORROW is Washington's birth­day

names because their idea of celebrating the

is to make him, (Tom) stay in Au­burn
and drill. Tom claims that it isn't
consistent at all; that we should celebrate
by having a day of freedom in commemora­tion
of Washington's work.

PARKER PEN COMPANY PROMOTES
INTEREST IN AVIATION BY TOUR
The Parker Pen Company, Janes-ville,
Wisconsin, has long been a be­liever
in coimniercial aviation and op­erates
its own airplane to speed up
the conduct of its business.
Wishing to do their bit to encourage
interest in aviation among college stu­dents,
officials of the company have
arranged to have the plane visit as
many colleges as possible during its
trips around the country.
At each college, complimentary
flights are given to a certain number
of students, usually selected by draw­ing
for "lucky numbers" conducted
under the auspices of the college news­paper.
r~~
At Purdue University, Lafayette,
Indiana, over 1700 students registered
for a chance for a free "air ride,"
which is typical of the interest shown
at every college the plane has visited
to date.
During the winter months, the;
plane is being operated in Southern
States, and the following colleges are
included in its itinerary: Georgia In­stitute
of Technology, Tulane Univer­sity,
Rice Institute, University of
Texas, University of Kansas, Univer­sity
of Missouri.
The Parker plane, christened "Par­ker
Duofold" by Amelia Earhart, is

•With the use of Nujol you can do it

and carries them off, preventing their

softens the waste matter and brings
about normal evacuation. It is harm­less;
contains no drugs or medicine.
It won't cause gas or griping pains, or
affect the stomach or kidneys. Every
corner druggist has Nujol. Make sure
you get the genuine. Look for the
Nujol bottle with the label on the back
that you can read right through the
bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today.

140 miles per hour. It has double the
horse power of the ordinary cabin
monoplane, as this provides an addi­tional
factor of safety in taking off
in small fields or flying over moun­tainous
territory where high flying is
advisable. The plane will climb to an
altitude of 20,000 feet with full load,
and will climb the first 10,000 feet in
13 minutes.
It is equipped with every device
for safety and comfort—brakes on
the wheels for quick stopping on the
ground and easy maneuvering, heated
cabin, quarter-million candlepower
landing lights, and many other tech­nical
devices recently developed to aid
safe flying.
The pilot, Edgar PaParle, has a rec­ord
of over 3,000 flying hours—a rec-or
dequalled by few airmen in this
country.
The Parker plane, painted red with
black-tipped wings to conform to' the
well known Duofold pen color scheme,
always attracts attention wherever it
goes, and thus makes a very effective
advertising medium for the Parker
Pen Company and its products.

Alsobrook has learned from
Ripley that Washington's birthday is
not February 22, but is February 11,
due to the calendar being changed in
the eighteenth century.
"John's History Lesson" was read
by Miss Lottie Collins. The history
student seemed to have every histori­cal
event centered around the year

The society was favored by several
musical numbers by Reaves and

Chevrolet Meeting
At Birmingham
More than four hundred Chevrolet
Dealers, sales managers and bankers
from Alabama and Western Florida
were guests at an elaborate sales
meeting and banquet given by the
Chevrolet Motor Company in Birming­ham
at the Tutwiler Hotel a few days
ago. Following the banquet an excel­lent
vaudeville shohv was provided
for the visitors.
Mr. M. D. Douglas, Assistant Gen­eral
Sales Manager of the Company,
was toastmaster. The principal
speaker was Mr. P. Sever, the Bir­mingham
Zone Sales Manager, who
pointed out that the Birmingham
Zone would share in a large measure
in the success of the company this
year.
"In Birmingham Zone it may be
truthfully said that when the auto­mobile
business is on a sound basis,
other industries also show progress,"
said Mr. Sever. "It is in this region
that we have the great cotton belt and
the largest center in the world for
coal and iron industries," concluded
this Zone Manager.
Mr. Bain, local Chevrolet dealer,
declared after a careful observation
of the playlets portraying new and
effective marketing ideas for the
dealers, he was sure that 1929 would
be a banner year for Chevrolet deal­ers.
"The excellent suggestions given
us by the high Chevrolet officials will
enable the Chevrolet dealers to render
the highest type of service to his com­munity,"
said the local dealer.
Among the speakers at the meeting
were M. D. Douglas, Ass't. General
Sales Manager, P. Sever, Zone Sales
Manager, Wm. A. Blees, Managers

Widely Discussed Is
"The King of Kings"
One of the greatest events of the
picture season will be the premier
showing of Cecil B. De Mille's "King
of Kings," at the Trivoli Theatre
at Montgomery, Ala., all week begin­ning
Sunday, Feb. 17. This picture
has enjoyed a sensational success in
New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel-pia
and Los Angeles, and has been
more widely discussed by press, cler­gy
and laity than any other motion
picture since "The Birth of a Nation."
The causes of the popularity of "The
King of Kings" are not far to seek.
Among them are the world's greatest
story, the reverent dramatization of
the life of Christ; supei-b acting of
eighteen stars; 500 well-known play­ers
and 5,000 extra people; the restor­ing
of a historical period in buildings,
scenes, properties and costumes ex­ceeding
in elaborateness even "Ben-
Hur"; and above all a vision' that
truly realizes the infinite tenderness,

Down Florida Five
In Spirited Contest
By Dick Jones
The "spirited" Auburn Tiger
cagesters presented a surprising at­tack
on the Florida five Tuesday
night and licked them, 51-26, in the
second of the two game series that
was played in the "Plains". Florida
had downed the Auburn quintet the
night before 46-29.
At the first of the game it was
difficult for either team to score.
Auburn finally made the first count
when Mullin slipped one through the
hoop with ease. This was three min­utes
after the whistle to begin had
blown. Then Mullin scored the next
point of the game by a free throw
at the basket. This put Auburn in
the lead 3-0 and it was six more
minutes before either team was able
to register another point. After this
Florida began ringing them regular
as did Auburn and Florida stepped
only one point ahead of the Tigers,
holding it a few seconds which was
the only time they were in the lead.
"Boots" Fulton, "Moon" Mullin, and
DuBose went on a "spree auvui, .moi
time and began dropping the ball
through the basket.
Mullin, the Tiger forward, led the
scorrers with 15 points but he was
closely followed by DuBose with his
14 points and McLucas with his 14
points.
Auburn was leading the Gators
24-13 at the half which was quite
a coincidence for Florida was lead­ing
the Tigers 24-13 at the half the
night before.

Rat Dribblers Complete
Successful Season; Cop
Fast Game From S.M.A.
By Dick Jones
The Rat dribblers of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute completed a
most successful season Tuesday af­ternoon
when they defeated the
Southern Military Academy, 74-20,
in the Auburn gym in an extra fast
game that the winners jumped into
the lead in the very beginning like
a whirlwind.
The Tigers scored their first three
throws at the hoop before Southern
even got the ball under their basket.
After the Southern lads put a nice
one in from the center of the floor
Auburn swung into a scoring mood
and Jordan, Lumpkin, Aldridge and
Lawson continued it throughout the
contest, rarely ever missing a shot.
Then when the first half ended the |
Auburn Tigers were leading 32-12.
"Lefty" Jordan, the "Baby" Tiger
hoop artist, led the scorers with 27
points. He scored 19 of them in the |
first half of which he played only)
a half. Williams was the star for
the Southern Military lads, who are
coached by "Nurmi" Nelson, a form­er
Auburn star on the gridiron and
on the cinder paths. Williams scored
10 points for the losers.
Lineup and summary:
AUBURN (74): Jordan (27), and
Aldridge (7), forwards; Stewart (3),
center; Kaley (4), and Hatfield (2),
guards. Subs.: Beard (3), Lumpkin
(10), Johns, Kooiman (4), Lawson
(14), Curvin, and Lasseter.

Referee: Ebb James (Auburn).
this position he was par excellent.
Although he is not the biggest man
to lead an Auburn team he is prob­ably
the most aggressive and if every
man will put as much into the game
as "Shorty" does there will be a big
change in the Auburn team next year.
SPORTS STUFF
By "Dusty" Porter
GIVE US TIME
We think it is only modern human nature for a large majority of the
sport loving public to become dissatisfied when things don't go just
right in the athletical line. Auburn for the past four years has been in
the "rut", yet the majority of us expect to jump from our low position
to Southern Conference Champions in one year which is almost im­possible.
We have seen a new coach in charge for the past four years,
and when a winning team did not bloom out over night with the change
in the coaching staff, we would soon get downhearted and begin to sum
up the reasons for our failure to win games and each time the discussion
has drifted to the coaching staff, "The coaching staff is no good", and
with such prevailing not only in the student body and alumni, but also
among some of the athletes, it is almost impossible for any coach regard­less
of who he is' or what his past record may be to produce athletical
teams that will satisfy the majority when we are in such a state of
mind, and there is no coach that can come to Auburn and change the
situation over night. We must be willing to stay behind the coaches
and give them the chance to make good, and we can't consider one year
long enough for a coach to install his system and get it working to any
degree of satisfaction. We have had a change in the coaching staff
and just a change satisfies the majority, and the dissention that has
existed among the alumni, students and followers of Auburn must be
wiped out and start anew. We must all realize that it will take some
time for Auburn to climb back to the select class, and this can be done
only through cooperation of everybody concerned; so let's forget the
past and stay behind the coaching staff, and Auburn will soon be back
in the place that she occupied for so many years.
COTTON STATES TOURNAMENT
This week-end will find the "Village" graced with many new faces.
The Cotton States Tournament and we would say the greatest high
school sporting event of the year will bring many visitors to the "Vil­lage"
to see the south's best high school basketball teams battle for the
great honor of being looked upon as champions of the prep class. Some
of Auburn's best athletes were first seen in action during these tourna­ments,
and the Auburn Spirit has caused many of the visiting players
to enter Auburn when their high school days are over. Let's cause
many more to select Auburn to be their Alma Mater.
BEN SANKEY BACK
They all may leave but the majority will always come back for more.
Ben Sankey, probably the best shortstop to do battle for the "Tigers" in
many years slipped into town a few days ago to get the "kinks" out
of his arm, the lead dut of his system and his eyes on the ball, and each
afternoon Ben can be seen in action on \he baseball field and the passing
of another year has made no changes with him. We are only sorry that
we will not have the pleasure of seeing Ben pick them out of the dirt
for Auburn another year, because it is good to anybody's eyes to see
Ben in action.
Saturday night the fast flying
quintet from Georgia Tech added
one more victory to their Conference
rating by downing the Auburn five
in one of the most exciting games of
the year.
From the first tip-off up until two
minutes before the end of the game
it looked as though the game would
go in the win column for the "Ti­gers".
At the half Auburn was lead­ing
by one point, but the inability
of the Auburn team to make their
shots good caused defeat in the final
! minutes of play. In the passing at-i
itack and floor work Auburn was su-perior,
but shots that were usually-good
for two points in any other
game would ride the rim and drop
to the outside!
For Auburn, Captain Dubose was
the high point man dropping seven
from the court, and adding four by
the foul route giving him eighteen
points and honors for the night. Wil­son
for Tech ran a close second with
a total of seventeen points for the
days woi'k.
Line up:
AUBURN: Mullins (14), and Ful­ton,
forwards; DuBose (18), center;
James (6), and Vines (1), guards.
Subs: Frazier (2).
GA. TECH: Heeke (15), and Wil­son
(17), forwards; Hudson (5),
center; Maree (1), and Brooks (2),
guards.
Subs.: Coker (4), Wages (2).
Porter has finished his second year i years and no better defensive man
on the gridiron for Auburn and no
man has fought harder for victory
than he has. <
Porter has been the outstanding
halfback in Auburn for the past two
can be found in the south.
With Callahan and Long leading
the Auburn attack next year things
are sure to change when football gets
underway again.

Lt. Barth, in discussing the Intra

a Plainsman reporter stated that he
wanted to issue a last call for all men

baseball team to turn out for play in

that a few men are holding back on

Baby Tigers Ride
To Victory in Tilt
With Tech Freshies
By Tad McCallum
Auburn's Baby Tigers wound up
their season in a blaze of glory Sat­urday
night when they defeated the
highly rated Georgia Tech Frosh
quintet 49 to 45 in one of the most
thrilling games ever played in the
local gym.
The victory atoned for the lone de­feat
that the Auburn Rats have suf­fered
for the season, this coming
from the Tech Freshmen three weeks
ago in Atlanta.
The game was a nip and tuck af­fair
all the way through and neither
ieam was able to hold a lead for any
length of time. English, diminutive
Tech forward, gave a remarkable ex­hibition
of shooting and was respon­sible
for 17 of Tech's 45 points. He
looped field goals from every con­ceivable
angle and carried the main
burden of Tech's offense. Raines,
former Vienna High star, was watch­ed
closely and was held to three
field goals.
For the Auburnites, "Lefty" Jor­dan
with 16 points, Aldridge with
11 points, and Stewart with 11 points
featured in the scoring. Kaley and
Hatfield put up a beautiful exhibition
of guarding and succeeded in giving
the Tech forwards a miserable af­ternoon.
Kaley also dribbled down
on several occasions and sank field
goals when they were most needed.
English, Perkins, and Raines were
the big breezes in the "Little Tor­nado"
and all turned in first class
performances.
Lineup:
GA. TECH (45): English (17),
and Perkins (14), forwards; Raines
(7), center; Waldrep and Griffeth,
guards. Subs.: Ma+his (7) for Grif­feth.

The Tiger Captain, DuBose, was right
on his heels with 13 points.
The Auburn five were off to much
in their shooting to compete with

shots at the hoop as the winners but

when it came to ringing them. Flor­ida

The Engineers defeated the 2nd

game of the intramural baseball
league Monday afternoon. Both
teams played steady baseball for

were recorded during the entire
game.
Fleming hurled a nice game for
the Engineers and only gave up four
scattered hits in addition to whiffing
ten men. Ellison, on the mound for
the 2nd Battalion was hit freely but
retired nine opponents by the strike­out
route.

Lt. Barth has conferred with the
coaching staff and it has been
decided that any man who fails
to turn out for the Battalion
league will not be considered when
picking the Freshman team unless
he is now playing on the Rat basket

and has been excused by him.
So far the only two men excused by
Coach Brown are Prim and Anderson.

fight couped with the deadly marks­manship
of Aldridge and Lumpkin
who were credited with 14 and 13
points respectively.

with a single marker. Aldridge slip-1 outfit in the second half and Ald-ped

the first half. Both of these boys
have received all-state high school
mention and they showed that they
justly deserved this honor.
The Rats looked like a different
to life and soon evened things up.
"Lefty" Jordan, Auburn's scoring
acre, was badly off and was relieved
by Lumpkin in the first half. Au­burn's
offensive play was ragged for
the major portion of the encounter
and at the half the Cubs were lead­ing
by the slender margin of 18 to
14.
Mason and McClellan were the
big guns in Tallasee's attack and they
from all angles while Kaley and Hat­field

DEAN BIGGIN ANNOUNCES
TENTATIVE OUTLINE OF TOUR
As a Christmas gift from students
of architecture at Auburn, alumni,
and the Alabama chapter of American
Institute of Architecture, Dean
Frederic Child Biggin, of the school
of architecture of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, will leave Auburn
February 26 for a cruise of three
continents before he returns to Au­burn
six months later. President
Bradford Knapp has granted him a
leave of absence in order that he may
take advantage of the gift which came
to him early last December as a com­plete
surprise.
During his absence Professor Milton
S. Osborne will be acting dean, Presi­dent
Knapp announced.
Dean Biggin will leave Auburn
early on the morning of February
26. He will arrive in New York the
following day and that night the Au­burn
alumni and former professor of
Auburn will gather at a banquet in his
honor. He will sail from New York
the following day and go direct to a
section of the world, which is famous
for its architecture and from which
scores of ideas have. been passed on

On March 18 he will arrive at Mad­eira.
After a brief stay there he will
go to Gibi'altar; and from there to
Algiers in north Africa. The next
stop will be at Nice on the north side
of the Mediterranean. From here he
will go to Naples and then to Athens
where he will l'emain 9 days seeing,
studying, observing, and enjoying, for
Athens is one of the places where
there is much to be seen and enjoy­ed
by trained architects.
Continuing his journey eastward
he will go from Athens to Haifa which
is the port to Jerusalem where he
will spend a week before going to
Cairo, Egypt. He plans to spend a
considerable time in that section where
he will see temples, tombs of kings,
and many other things which he is
anxious to see. A trip on the Nile
River is contemplated.
Alexander, Naples, Rome, Florence,
Pisa, Venice, Milan, Nimes, and
Aries will be visited before he ar­rives
in Paris where he will spend 10
days. He will visit several towns in
the Paris district. From Paris he
will go into Germany. He expects to
take a trip on the Rhine River. From
G.ermany he will go into Belgium and
thence to England. From London
he will make a circuitous tour over
England, visiting cathedral towns. He
will return to London in August and
start his homeward voyage over the
Atlantic.
He will be back in Auburn for the
opening of college next September.

The Flood of Books?
For the amazed amateur Einstein-ian
deader there could scarcely be a
more admirable exposition of the con­tent
of recent physical science and
its bearing on familiar human pros­pects
and convictions that The Nature
of the Physical World by A. S. Ed­dington
of Cambridge University, an
astronomer and Einsteinian exponent
with the rare gifts of style, humor,
and imagination.
All physical science is a "shadow
world shadowing forth a world famil­iar
to our consciuosness." It is a
cycle of mathematical relations among
measurements. It leaves out all that
is non-metrical. The physical world
is a world impinged on mind and in­vented
or built by it. "All else re­sponds
to the rainbow; the physicist
in him measures its ether waves."
But within the domain of physics a
world may be built for field purposes
—^k world, however, which is coarse,
which has no descriptions of atoms,
electra, and quanta, and which does
not give what Professor Eddington
finds, in the light of recent physics,
"to be an irreducible fact about the
nature of the 'basal' universe, entro­py—
the factor of increasing chance,
randomness, disorganization."
We can -not know the true nature
of things, the ding 'in zich, at least
not in terms of physical science, but
we can comprehend them intuitively
as we know love or the flow of time
or consciousness. "There is a side of
our personality which impels us to
dwell on beauty and other esthetic
significances in nature and in the work
of - man, so that our environment
means much to us—much that is not.
warranted by anything found in the
scientific inventory of its structure."
There is a "great bifurcation of the
basal structure. On the one hand,
out of physical measurements and
mathematical symbols we construct
the world in terms of the fields of
geometry, mechanics, magnetism, and
electricity. We have, on the other
hand, the world of spiritual and hu­man
values which elude science be­cause
they ,elude measurement. In
brief the center of experience, both
scientific and mystic, is in the opera­tion
of the mind and consciousness.
This scientific conclusion is essential­ly
the same as the philosophies of
Aristotelian "innate ideas" and Kant­ian
transcendentalism. Science and
philosophy, the mass and the individ­ual,
are both necessary adjuncts for
the pursuit and attainment of know­ledge.
Since matter and motion are identi­cal,
the fundamental essence of life
and motion to Eddington, Einstein,
etc., is unknowable, but to Miss Au­gusta
Gaskell is comprehensible: "life
is born of the meeting of a hydrogen
ion—and an atom or ion of electro­positive
tendency, crowded together
and with their domains overlapping."
The result is a union of a positive
electron and a negative electron—"not
as a- hydrogen atom, but as a new and
different unit."' "This unit is the
basis of life." Altho H. L. Mencken
finds Miss Augusta Gaskell's treatise
hard reading and questions its scien­tific
value, Dr. Compton, professor of
physics at Princeton, certifies that
"her discussion of modern atomic phy­sics
is accurate, well balanced, and
worth reading for its own sake." Pos­sibly
Miss Gaskell was a co-ed at
Princeton.
Charles Scribner's Sons announce
that S. S. Van Dyne's new book, The
Bishop Murder Case is probably the
only detective story ever written which
utilizes Einsteinian mathematics and
"celestial mechanics." Next we will
probably have Einsteinian prose of
geometrical design by Theodore Dreis-
President Hoover probably will read
The Bishop Murder Case since he is
reported by a friend in the October
Bookman to end his regular orgy
(2:00-5:00) of reading by dozing to
sleep over "myriads" .of murder mys­teries.
Alfred A. Knopf Co. plan to
publish on Hoover's inauguration day
a book by Ralph Barton entitled God's
Country which probably is humorous.
God's country is in the hands of the
Philistines.
Abraham Lincoln's birthday, Febru­ary
12, attracts attention to some re­cent
books: Bernie Babcock's Lincoln's
Mary and the Babies, as well as her
older The Soul of Anne Rutland, the
John Day $25,000 prize novel, The
Father and to many older important
works: Carl Shamburg's poem, John
Drinkwater's play, Vachel Lindsey's
Abraham Lincoln Walks At Midnight,
Walt Whitman's O Captain, My Cap­tain—
poems surviving numerous for­gotten
Lincoln lives, giving to all pos­terity
his personality, and proving
the (Wordsworthian) thesis that
could be deduced from Eddington's
Einsteinian exposition that "Poetry is
the breath and fined spirit of all
knowledge, the impassioned express­ion
which is in the countenance of
all science."
Abraham Lincoln's early reading
was limited but select: The Bible, Pil­grim's
Progress, Aesop's Fables,
Robinson Crusoe, A History of the
United States, the Parson Weem's
Lives, especially that of George Wash­ington,
and a part of the Arabian
Nights.
A i\ew book by a former Birming­ham
newspaper reporter, The Outline
of Man's Knowledge, is prominently
advertised. The Philadelphia Public
Ledger describes it as "the book to
read and know," the Pittsburg Sun-
Telegraph calls it "a university in
itself," and The Toledo Times says
that it is "like viewing the universe
from a hilltop." We wonder if that
hilltop is above the clouds, or if it is
possible for a modern newspaper re­porter
to take, like renaissance Ba­con,
all knowledge to be his province
and not his master.
John Matthews Manly, whose moth­er,
a very prominent Alabama woman,
died recently in South Carolina, is
a really distinguished scholar, head
of the English department of the Uni­versity
of Chicago, and author, co­author,
or editor of many books,
among which is a recent one: Con­temporary
British Literature. This
consists largely of biographical and
bibliographical notes, reading lists,
indices, and a few general remarks,
all designed to inform the studious
and inquiring reader: student, club­woman,
teacher or any one interested
in contemporary writing.
The best sellers of 1928 taken from
the Author's Annual ed. by Henry
Lainer are: The Bridge of San Luis
Rey, Wintersmoon, Swan Song, The
Greene Murder Case, Bad Girl, and
Claire Ambler for fiction, and Disrae­li,
Mother India, Trader Horn, Napo­leon,
Strange Interlude, and We for
non-fiction.
The statement has been made and
believed that "the turn-over in litera­ture
has reached a point without pre­cedent
in literary history." In actuali­ty
the peak of production in fiction
was reached in 1901, with 2,234 titles,
including new editions. In no year
since has the number reached the two-thousand
mark. Last year the total
was 1,809, and of these 668 were new
editions, many more new editions than
in 1901. But the number of actual
copies now printed is far in excess
DR. STEVENSON TO
DELIVER ADDRESS
DAVIDSON IN JUNE
Dr. Ross Stevenson, president of
Princeton Theological Seminary,
Princeton, N. J., will deliver the bac­calaureate
sermon before the 1929
graduating class of Davidson Col­lege
on June 2nd, according to an an­nouncement
made today by Dr. W. J.
Martin, president of the college. The
Davidson president expressed gratifi­cation
that Dr. Stephenson had accept­ed
the invitation. Dr. Stevenson will
come to Davidson direct from St. Paul,
Minn., where he will attend a meeting
of the U. S. A. Presbyterian Assembly.
Dr. Stephenson has been president
of Princeton Seminary since 1914.
He is a graduate of Washington and
Jefferson college, where he obtained
an A. B., and M. A. degree. His
theological work was done at McCor-mick
Theological Seminary in Chica­go,
and special study has been done at
the University of Berlin. Honorary
degrees have been conferred upon him
by several institutions, among which
was his own alma mater and the Uni­versity
of Edwinburgh.
Before assuming the presidency of
Princeton Seminary, Dr. Stephenson
had served as a pastor in Missouri,
as professor at McCormick Theologi­cal
Seminary, and as pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in
New York and Brown Memorial Pres­byterian
church in Baltimore. He was
at one time moderator of the North­ern
Presbyterian Church, served in
the Y. M. C. A. during the World
War and has been on international
religious committees.
Dr. Martin stated that the selection
of other speakers for the commence­ment
program at Davidson is being
delayed until it is definitely known
whether the new $600,000 Chambers
building will be completed and ready
for dedication by June. An announce­ment
of the possibilities of finishing
the structure should be forthcoming
within a few days, he said.
Sonie men's idea of moarlity is
hiring a homely stenographer..
of the old figures because book pro­duction
in the United States multi­plied
two and one-half times between
1914 and 1925. Religious books are
next to fiction in popularity.

i \ o visitor to Normandy ever considered his
tour complete until he had made the pilgrimage
to Mont St. Michel and the Inn of the Famous
Omelet—ChezMadamePoulard,l'Incomparable,
la Fameuse Omelette.
The Madame is since gone, but not until
just before she died did she reveal the secret
of her famous omelets. No doubt hundreds
have tried—and struggled in vain—to use the
precious information, but as a writer has put
it, the Inn without Madame is "like Tara's hall
without the harp!"
The making of a great cigarette, too, is a
secret to be guarded. The artistry lies in how
the tobaccos are blended—and from our own
private formula comes the rich fruity flavor that
you get in your Chesterfield.
Suffice it to say that our blend can't be copied
—nor for mildness with flavor can you duplicate
the rare Chesterfield goodness.

SEVEN NEW COURSES
IN EXTENSION WORK Scenes from Annual Mardi Gras Festival in Mobile
(Continued from page 1)
The new courses are so arranged,
according to Dr. Showalter, as to give
service to those who want to study
along business lines either in an ele­mentary
or advanced manner. The
elementary courses in bookkeeping and
accounting give one the basic know­ledge
for the installation and keeping
of a simple system of business rec­ords,
whereas, the other courses in
accounting allow one to pursue studies
on into the- professional field.
Material for these courses has been
prepared by a number of nationally
recognized authorities in the United
States. Each lesson will be given the
immediate supervision of the account­ing
specialists at Auburn, Prof. J. T.
Allen, instructor in economics.
The courses in business arithmetic
and business English give training
to those who need special drill in
these subjects. The business arithme­tic
course has been prepared by Prof.
W. P. Champion, instructor in mathe­matics,
and the course in modern bus­iness
English has been prepared by
Prof. Kenneth L. Daughrity, assistant
professor in English.
Over $70,000,000 were spent last
year in the United States for com­mercial
correspondence courses rang­ing
from $25.00 to $150.00 each. Ac­cording
to Dr. Showalter these same
subjects have been obtained from state
institutions at less than one-third of
the above cost.
Descriptive bulletins of these
courses may be obtained by writing

After the regular formalities of the
meeting had been dispensed with, the
president of the Pharmaceutical Socie­ty
called Dr. Allen before the club to
give a treatise on perfumes and cos­metics.
Dr. Allen is a professor in the
chemistry department here, and has
had quite a bit of experience in the
subject on which he spoke, since he
has been on the "inside" with the
Dupont Company.
The content of his address was in­teresting
throughout. In it he point­ed
the way to a courteous, efficient
method of selling toilet preparations to
ladies, and along this vein expressed
his sorrow at the unhappy truth that
the ordinary drug clerk seems to have
very little conception about how to
sell powders, rouges, and other arti­cles
of that nature.
The speaker next brought out some
intresting facts concerning the manu­facturing
side of the drug business.
He said that the actual ingredients
put in a box of the most expensive
powder costs only a low pei-centage
of the actual selling price, and nearly
half of that is accounted for by the
perfume which is incorporated. In
contrast he displayed about 1-20 of
an ounce of Jasmine, a natural ex-1
tract he said, which was worth $625. i
He also spoke at length on various j
tests carried out with powders, per­fumes
and nail polishes to obtain an
unbiased opinion of the general pub­lic
as to which brand of these articles
was the most desirable. Some as­tonishing
facts were brought to light
by this procedure, one to the effect
that a low-priced polish was better
than df several costing much more.

Websterian Society
Has Regular Meet
The Tuesday night meeting of the
Websterian Literary Society was a
decided success. The programs for
this semester have been very inetrest-ing
and of a varied nature. The pro­gram
for this week consisted of a
brief sketch of Abraham Lincoln's
life, given by J. M. Henderson. Mr.
Henderson brought out the facts that
"Abe's" boyhood life, the beginning
of his political life, and of the service
he rendered his cduntry in a very in­teresting
and impressive fashion. W.
E. Callum told some of the history of
the Tuskeegee Institute, located at
Tuskeegee, Alabama. The discussion
revealed many facts about the founder
of this Institute, Booker T. Washing­ton.
He got his first educational in­spiration
while working in a salt fac­tory
as a laborer, says Mr. Collum.
He also states that the Institute is
supported entirely by donaiton and
outside help. Within the Institute it­self
they have 242 members on the
faculty, and with an enrollment of
about 1700 students, we can imagine
the training each student gets.
"Rat" Higgins, acting as critic,
gave a few points the society might
improve upon. The society adjourned
with the satisfaction that they would
be favored by a debate at the. next
meeting, between R. G. Upchurch and
A. V. Blankenship. Subject: "Resolv­ed—
that quality points for literary
society work should be abolished."

Alliance High, Bessemer, is un­questionably
the strongest team in the
Birmingham district, having chalked
up wins over the Alabama state cham­pions
and Simpson High. The latter
game was a 25-2 victory. Glaze, for­ward
is the leading point maker.
Sidney Lanier, who always has a
strong quintet, will compete after an
absence of three years. They have
lost only one game. It is generally
conceded that the Coach Wells' five
will be strong this year when pitted
against Dixie's best.
Andrew Jackson High, of Jackson­ville,
Fla./state champs in 1928, who
were eliminated in the third round in
the Stagg tourney in Chicago last sea­son,

last 35 games played including the

In the outset of his speech, he pic­tured
the changes that have taken
place in agriculture. He said that
farmers, in order to keep up with the
day have and are making changes.
He pictured two sides to agriculture;
that is the production and the market­ing.
He said that the production side
of it may be handled more or less in­dividually,
but that marketing should
be studied and done cooperatively. He
also pointed to the fact that there is
a financial part in transportation
which ties the producer and market­er
together. This can best be handled
by group action, he added.
