PREPARE FOR INSPECTION THE PLAINSMAN T O F O S T E R T H E A U B U R N S P I R IT PREPARE FOR INSPECTION VOLUME LIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, SATURDAY, APRIL, 12, 1930 NUMBER 52 OVERTHREE HUNDRED ATTEND INTERFRAT COUNCIL DANCE Eighty-Seven Girls, Over Two Hundred Frat Men Attend Gala Affair Eighty-seven girls and over two hundred fraternity men last night attended the Interfraternity Council Ball, which was reported to be one of the most successful dances this year. The number, of girls, most of whom were from out of town, was one of the largest ever to attend any dance in Auburn. The gymnasium, the scene of the affair, was decorated in orange and blue streamers. About tjhe walls, fraternity pennants were placed. The orchestra was arranged on a platform, to the rear of which was a large painting of an ancient ship sailing on a Grecian sea. On the sail of the ship was painted the symbol of the council, an Indian seated near a campfire. The dance music was furnished by Bill Nappi's orchestra, from Birmingham, which received much favorable comment. The dancing lasted from nine until twelve thirty. - Ten members from each of twenty-two fraternities represented on the council were allowed to attend the dance. The following young ladies attended the dance: Misses Bertha Northrop, Sara McCord, Lucy Reid, Mary Frances Suggs, Mary Alice Riddle, Lillian Arnett, Emily Young, Mary Elizabeth Morey, Eleanor Home, Eloise Hodges, Imogene Hanv mond, Mildred Rogers, Foxye Lann-ing, Helen Crc(oks, Geraldine Ha-hone, Eugenia Harper, Claire Castes, Myrtle Welch, Becky Flournoy, Margaret Hudson, Nola Heath, Ben Lou Hodges, Miriam Marchant, Louise Rowe, Mildred Harrell, Virginia Bag-ley, Mary Olive Carnley, Kathryn Baxter, Annice Griggs, Dorothy An-dress, Helen Hall, Helen Ingram, Bess Leverette, Mary George Lamar, Betty Sutherlin, Miriam Moore, Louise Cooper, Sophia DuBose, Ruth Thornton, Wilhelmina Martin, Lu-cile King, Sunshine Green, Eleanor Buckalew, Virginia Sparkman, Anita Mitchell, Marjorie Brinson, La Verne Watts, Dabney Hare, Jane Yarbrough, Mary Louise Halloway, Jule TJunter, Frances Moore, Frances McGehee, Elinor Hooper, Kathleen Russell, Abbie Brasseale, Louise Bidell, Rebecca Chappelle, Pauline Newman, Ida Mae Brandon, Lily Barnes Clur-ry, Sarah Hall Crenshaw, Betty Buchana, Janice Ward, Martha Dickinson, Eunice Shannon, Mary Tip-pins, Marie Glenn, Anna Cowart, Betty Anderson, Hoyt Enloe, Ann Gilchrist, Emma Kate Hyatt, Betty Crew, Alyce Mae Perry, Eugenia Harper, Helen Shackelford, Mildred Wood, Kathryn Patterson, Louise Cooper, Vivian Hester, Roberta Had-en, and Betty Mardre. Junior Architects Make Small Houses Will Display In Windows of Student Supply Shop During The Coming Week True scale models of community houses designed and built by junior students in the School of Architecture and Applied Arts will be exhibited all this coming week in the windows of the Student Supply Shop. Professor E. W. Burkhardt announced today that through the courtesy of Professor A. L. Thomas, owner of the shop, the display will begin this afternoon and last until the end of the following week. It is a required part of the program in the course in architecture for a student to design and build upon the design a model building. Every year the specifications are different. This year the program called for a community house that would embrace all the necessary equipment for such a building, such as offices, auditorium, special sections, and playgrounds. (Continued on page 6) AnnualAgBanquet To Be Next Friday Dance at Gym Will Be Held In Connection With Banquet The annual Ag Banquet, spring event held by the Students Agricultural Club, will be held Friday evening, April 18, with C. A. Cobb, editor of The Southern Ruralist, as the principal speaker of the evening. Plans are fast being completed to make this the best banquet ever put on by this organization; tickets have been on sale during the past week, and indications are that a record-breaking crowd will attend. Preliminary reports are indicative of a gathering approaching the two hundred taiark. An additional feature, making this a dual event, is proving very popular with the Ag students; a dance will be staged in connection with the banquet, in the Alumni Gymnasium immediately following. This is the first time in the history of the event that a dance has been granted the Ag Club backers, and interest is running high in this additional attraction. The decorations committee will arrange the gym in attractive keeping with the spirit of the occasion, giving it an elusive barnyard effect. Reports are that attendants will be gay-ly attired in overalls and gingham— universal symbols of agricultural activity. Abie Hardin's orchestra has been booked to furnish the music for this event. Authorities report that no effort will be spared in making this a real old-time breakdown. During the meal, distinction in college agricultural realms will be meted out to various Ag Club students, in keeping with the time-honored custom. The big event will be that of awarding the Gamma Sigma Delta loving cup to the best all-round junior. Until the time of the award, no hint is given as to the recipient; however, the honor bids fair to be hotly contested this spring. Ag club diplomas will be awarded those seniors who have met the requirements for such. Other honorary features will be conducted. Six Are Selected By Phi Delta Gamma Honorary Society Forensic Fraternity Has Second Election Of Year Six students prominent, in forensic activities were elected to Phi Delta Gamma, the national forensic fraternity at the last meeting of the organization it was learned to-day. The men are Clyde Kimbrough, A. M. Pearson, Thomas Pyke, Howard Gray, H. D. Mosley, and Eugene Gray. Phi Delta Gamma is the national forensic fraternity on the campus. Every year it sponsors the literary contests held between the literary societies and encourages work in debating, declamation, and all forms of forensic activity among the students. The Auburn chapter of the organization was founded here in 1924 and since that time has been interested in the development of student talent along the lines of oration and literary work. College Stunt Night Is Postponed Until Friday Conflicting Activities Causes Y.M.C.A. Officials to Alter Date The annual College Stunt Night, scheduled for Friday night was postponed because of conflicting activities. Due to the Interfraternity Council Dance, the Georgia-Auburn baseball game, and the Georgia Tech Relays, in which many of the Auburn men are participating, it was deemed advisable to hold the event this coming week. This action will give the ten organizations who plan to have stunts in Langdon Hall on Stunt Night to rehearse a little longer and have better skits for presentation. Auburn Representatives Attend Education Meet College Has One Hundred Seventeen Memben in the A. E. A. Official representatives of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at the Alabama Educational Association in Montgomery this week were President Bradford Knapp, Dean Zebulon Judd, of the School of Education, Dr. George Petrie, professor of history and dean of the Graduate School, Professor James R. Rutland, professor of English, and Dean M. J. Funchess of the College of Agriculture. (Continued on page 6) Plans Are Completed For Traveling Library L. N. Duncan and Miss Julia Wright Merrill Discuss Plans For New Work CORRECTION David Mosley, and not Fred Hardy, was elected secretary of the class of 1931 in the recent elections. The report that Hardy was elected was submitted before the final count was taken, and was published in the election edition as reported. Mosley, whose home is in Montgomery, is an electrical engineering student. SCABBARD ANDBLADE INITIATES 19 TODAY Eugene L. Bothwell, of Decatur, Ga., Is Newest Pledge Nineteen juniors will be admitted into Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society, in the annual spring initiation this week-end. Today, the pledges appeared in comic dress along the streets of Auburn, and performed many humorous feats. Falling in at seven o'clock this morning, the prospective members marched to posts on different parts of the campus. A camp was formed on the neutral ground at the intersection in front of the Main Gate. An intermission was given after the drill on Drake Field. The next meeting of the pledges will take place on Toomer's corner at seven o'clock this evening. A ten mile hike for the initiates will begin at three o'clock. The formal ceremonies will begin at sunrise tomorrow morning. Eugene L. Bothwell, of Decatur, Georgia, is the newest pledge. He will be initiated with the rest of the candidates. Lions Club Hears Miss Duncan On Girls* Work Explains Work Being Done By Camp Fire Group Plans for promoting traveling libraries in Alabama counties were discussed here recently by Director L. N. Duncan of the Extension Service, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Miss Julia Wright Merrill of the American Library Association, and Miss Fannie Taber, field worker of the Alabama Library Association. They hope at some later date to see a system of library extension work in Alabama that would make available to people in rural communities adequate library facilities, including books and bulletins on agriculture. Trucks would be used to transport the books from central stations. Miss Wright and Miss Taber also conferred with Miss Helen Johnston, state chairman of the committee on home demonstration work, Miss Mary Martin, librarian, and Charles Edwards, assistant registrar. President Knapp Predicts Winning Football Team Here in Three Years With Dr. George Wheeler of Montgomery presiding as toastmaster, the Auburn Alumni dinner was held in the main dining room of the Exchange Hotel in Montgomery Thursday, where Dr. Bradford Knapp briefly gave an outline of some things which the institution is striving to attain. He also praised the spirit of cooperation which prevails among the faculty and student body. Before introducing Dr. Knapp, the principal speaker of the hour, Dr. Wheeler called upon Bebulon Judd for a few remarks relative to the Auburn Summer School. He also took occasion to pay a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. B. B. Ross for many years dean of the chemistry department at Auburn. He called upon the alumni and friends to bow for a moment in silent tribute to the departed chemist for whom one of the new buildings at Auburn is named. The meeting was called to order by J. V. Brown who announced the selection of Dr. Wheeler as the toast-master of the evening. Dr. Wheeler kept the diners in a jovial frame of mind while the dinner was being served and then introduced Dr. Knapp. Dr. Knapp praised the service of the faculty and hearty cooperation which the student body is giving. He stated that the faculty and student body are working with him to make Auburn one of the greatest institutions of learning in the state. After briefly reviewing some of the history of Auburn, Dr. Knapp told of some of the things which he is endeavoring to accomplish along all lines of college activity. He stated that despite the fact the school is (Continued on page 6) Miss Elizabeth Duncan, guardian of the Auburn Camp Fire group, spoke before the Lion's Club at their regular weekly luncheon Tuesday. She explained the nature of the Camp Fire work, and told of the work she was doing with the Camp Fire Girls in Auburn. Miss Duncan's group was one of the first four in a national contest held last year, in which over nine thousand Camp Fire groups participated. A large part of the Camp Fire activities is carried on in the summer camps, Miss Duncan told the Lions. She is planning to take a large number of girls from Auburn to its annual camp which is to be held at Fairhope early in June. Charity work is also stressed in the Camp Fire work, Miss Duncan stated. At present the Auburn Camp Fire group is supporting a family of five living on the outskirts of Auburn, and last year during the flood, •numerous boxes were sent to the stricken Alabama towns. The Lion's Club golf team which will compete in the Inter-Club tournament to be held Saturday April 19, was named as follows: H. W. Nixon, W. T. Ingram, James Seale, and F. E. Guyton. Camp and Cochran Elected to Publish Auburn Engineer Results of Wednesday Election Made Public By Editor Lawrence F. Camp and William L. Cochran, juniors in the engineering school, were elected editor-in-chief and business manager, respectively of the Auburn Engineer, student publication, for the year 1930-31, it was announced today by officials of the magazine. The election was held on Wednesday. The two men are well-known on the campus not only for their technical work but also for their participation in school activities in general. Camp, a junior in chemical engineering hails from Moreland, Georgia, and was former assistant editor of the Engineer. He is president of the Engineers' Club, a member of Phi Delta Gamma, the national forensic society, Tau Beta Pi, (Continued on page 6) CABINET ELECTION RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED BY OFFICIALS Horse Show To Be Held Here May 1st All Kinds of Jumping and Riding Feature Annual Affair Sixteen Men And One Woman Student Chosen to Serve on Cabinet Next Year A.T.O.

C. unit are rapidly being made and completed, according to a statement made today by Captain Anderson, who is in charge of the event. Having had fine weather during past week practices were made almost every day and a large improvement over last years' try-outs has already been noted. The jumping this year is believed to be the best ever demon-started. Great interest is manifested by the senior riders, and they have been training and practicing very hard the past few weeks for the show. The following seniors are reporting to Captain Anderson; W. H. Clingo, H. C. Pitts, S. C. Subers, E. Gissendan-er, W. B. Story, H. H. Webb, B. Q. Scruggs, J. E. Taylor, D. D. Stroud, and C. F. Brittain.

He is well known in this vicinity and has a host of admirers. Rev. William Byrd lee, Jr., rector of the Auburn Church announced that the public is invited to hear the Bishop's sermon. Davis, Duncan Go To Wash'ton Conferences Practice of Catching Rides Was Started by Member of First Team To "Dutch" Dorsey, fleet halfback on Auburn's first football team can be given the credit for originating the practice of catching rides at Auburn, but instead of catching an automobile, this lad hoboed his way through the line of scrimmage by grasping a rope which was sewed into the trousers of Mr. J. V. Brown, now president of the Auburn Alumni association. "It worked too," said Mr. Brown. You see, "Dutch" was a speed demon and a natural broken field runner. No one ever taught him how to side step, but it was just instinct with him. We knew that he could gain ground if we could just get him beyond the line of scrimmage. The rope idea was suggested and one was tied into my trousers. Both ends of the big grass rope were frazzled out and sewed around my left side leaving a little loop which served as a handle. When the ball was snapped I would come out of the line from my position at guard and trot slowly until 'Dutch' could catch his hold, then there we'd go off tackle or around end till we reached the secondary defense, then the little halfback would leave me often to make touchdowns." This is one of the trick plays which thrilled football fans in the days when football was in its infancy at Auburn back in—? The two men who executed the play are at present holding responsible positions in life. Mr. Brown, whose huge and powerful body conveyed the little "Dutch" through opposing lines now heads up and directs the policies of the Auburn Alumni Association. His team mate and cargo is now a prominent doctor in Atlanta, Georgia. P. 0. Davis, head of the department of public information, and Dr. L. N. Duncan, director of the extension service, will leave tomorrow morning to attend conferences in Washington. Mr. Davis will confer with the Federal Radio Commission in the interest of WAPI, of which he is manager. He will go to New York and Philadelphia after this conference. Dr. Duncan will discuss national legislation business pertaining to extension work, agriculture, and home economics. Collegians Requested To Play In Florida The Auburn Collegians have received a request to play for a series of dances in Panama City, Florida, on April 25 and 26, dates that Auburn and Florida meet in their annual baseball contest. Ion Walker, former star Florida halfback, is the amusement park operator who requested Abie Hardin, manager of the orchestra, to play for him after hearing the orchestra over WAPI. It is expected that the orchestra will make the trip, stopping in Dothan, Alabama to play for one night.

BUSINESS STAFF Hugh W. Overton Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. A Real Auburn Man Has Completed His Work The death of Dr. Ross has cast a pall of sadness over the campus. Many people who have known him through personal contact and through his works mourn the passing of this great figure in agricultural chemistry. For almost two score years he has served Auburn in the capacity of teacher; he has studied in other places that he might be better able to do his tasks here; he has done wonderful research work for the South and nation in agricultural chemistry; in the community of Auburn he has always been a leader, socially and religiously; he has done what he considered right. Auburn feels his loss—the loss of a man whose knowledge and ability are known throughout America; his absence and leadership will be even more appreciated and ...issed since he has left. But even though he has departed, he lived to see his dream of a great chemistry department at Auburn come true. A mighty structure has been erected and named in honor of him, and that is as it should be. His heart and soul were dedicated to the task of raising the chemistry school from the ranks of insignificance to the envious heights it occupies today, and his crowning achievement in this great endeavor was the erection of the new building. He can be truly called a real Auburn man, for he stuck by his work until he had completed it. Students Must Be Ready For Annual R. O. T. C. Inspection Since the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit will be inspected by officers from the headquarters of the Fourth Corps Area, beginning April 21, and lasting four days, it is very necessary that every man in the unit do his utmost to insure Auburn keeping the distinguished rating which she has enjoyed every year for the past decade. Efforts have been made by the officers, stationed here to get the students to have a military bearing at all times, keeping the uniforms in neat shape, being neat themselves, and conducting themselves worthy of the officers some may sometime be. In this work they have been fairly successful; however, at times signs of slouchiness have been very noticeable. A special attempt to be strictly military in bearing, in dress, in aptitude, and in general appearance must be made if Auburn is to remain in the coveted position she now has. The job will not be as great since the students are wearing the beautiful grey measured uniforms instead of the poorly-fitting olive drab "leftovers" from the World War. It has always taken a supreme endeavor on the part of the • tudents and almost persuasive measures i.y the military instructors to get a creditable showing on annual inspections, due chiefly to the condition of the outfits. But this year with a little work and a little care a splendid scene of military students will meet the questioning gaze of the inspectors. We want to encourage the students -to take pride in their work along these lines during the inspection, and to feel that they are doing a great deal for Auburn in helping her maintain this high standard which she has created for herself instead of being compelled to do as they are told. The work required is almost negligible as compared with the notable results to be gained; to again receive the distinguished l-ating will be merely a continuance of the fast pace already set; and to receive it will take less work than usual. Election Winners Have Hard Work Ahead Class elections are over and the officers and representatives of next year have been elected. The winners are to be congratulated upon their election because they have been selected by their fellow students as the leaders for the coming year. As such, it is their duty to take hold in some measure this year while the old officers are still here to help them with any difficulties which may arise. They should not let their interest in their respective officers die out with their election. The success or failure of any student body lies largely with the ability and leadership shown by the officers, since these men are responsible for the organization and activity of their group. Auburn at present is passing through a state of rapid expansion and growth. Old ideas and customs are being torn down rapidly and new ones are being set up in their place. The student body must keep pace with this development and one way of accomplishing this is through the medium of its class officers. Consequently, the burden of the load is upon the shoulders of these men. Too often is the election to a class office looked upon only as a mere honor. It is indeed an honor, an honor of the highest kind but it carries with it certain responsibilities which should not be overlooked. COACH WALLACE WADE Duke University has every reason to consider itself fortunate in securing the services of Wallace Wade for director of athletics. In September 1931 will come the outstanding coach of the South and one of the most famous in the country to direct the athletic destinies of the rapidly-expanding institution in Durham. Coach Wade, by his early youth, his college training, his later participation in Southern athletics as assistant coach and then athletic head at the University of Alabama, is eminently qualified to head the department at Duke. For department it is. No one who recognizes the vast influence that athletics has on the student and academic life of the modern-day College and University would call its part in the curriculum as less than a department. Wallace Wade is a Tennessee farm boy who rose to football heights in/Brown University, far away from his native State. Then he returned to Vanderbilt and Alabama to reap new laurels for the South. His famous teams at Alabama twice scaled the heights in the East-West meets in California. At least six of his outstanding players have received Ail-American honors. But more than this, Coach Wade has so conducted himself on and off the field that he has commanded the utmost respect of his players. He has been a leader in a brotherly way. He has inspired confidence and pride in character. Those alumni who. have expected Duke's team to increase proportionately in strength and cunning with the endowment of the lamented J. B. Duke may have some of the hopes realized when the Wade era is in full sway. Needless to say that Wade's coming to Duke will hold aloft the finest tradition of Old Trinity and the other fine institutions of this State which have long been ancient and honorable rivals. The following brief excerpt from a comment on the sport pages of The Montgomery Advertiser gives the following insight into that State's regard for him: "He has displayed his manhood on too many occasions for even the most biased to dispute. Wade, to the best of our knowledge, never leaned toward the star; he turned deaf ears to fraternities and would countenance no bickering from the would-be bosses. "Alabama will lose a splendid coach and Duke, the baby member of the Conference, will profit by the Tide's loss. In leaving Alabama, Wade will also leave his name etched in the stones of time. A clean liver, Wade naturally was a clean teacher. Victory was sweet over the seven-year stretch for him, and for 'Bama backers. "Only another Wade will prevent Alabama men from fully realizing the greatness of the man who played a titanic part in putting the Tide in the football spotlight of the Nation."—Charlotte Observer. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The Gecko I'm the Gecko who did a lot of politicking last week in the dark. Everyone I saw I promised to help all I could if he would just support my man. Of course, it is impossible for me to help more than one fellow with my vote, but I wanted to get lots more so I simply said that my influence would be directed toward anyone who was willing to cast a vote in my favor. Some of the men I promised aid to were defeated, but I don't care for they should have known that I did not feel bound to keep my promise. Of course, it may cause them to lose all faith in me, but it doesn't matter, for I won't be here but one more year. After that I will never see any of them again, so what's the difference. Let me thank the faculty, staff, and student body for their very generous and fine cooperation on the occasion of the funeral of Dr. Ross. I am sure it was a very spontaneous and splendid tribute to the memory of Dr. Ross. I feel a sense of satisfaction in knowing that the whole community met the emergency adequately. * * * * We are electing the corps of student officers for next year. I wonder if you realize how tremendously important that staff is. I think the student body is mindful of the responsibility they are taking but from time to time from now until the end of the year, I want to remind the new officers of the great difference there is between being an individual in a large group and being the one who has to take the responsibility, make the decisions, and carry on the work. I should like to set a pattern for the new officers. One of the best patterns I could put before their eyes is the splendid way the work has gone on during this year which is rapidly coming to a close. The publications have been well handled, and so far as I know, student finances and other enterprises have been well handled. I feel that we are making progress. At some later time I want to formally greet these new officers and pledge them the most earnest sort of cooperation for the year's work. * * * * Is there any connection between the number of opportunities for enjoyment and real pleasure in Auburn and the number of unexcused absences from classes? I do not mind fine sportsmanlike play but I do think that when a boy will cut classes to go to a pool hall or to one of these miniature golf links, it is a very serious matter. That is the situation which has existed for the past two weeks. I have taken delight in seeing things which would minister to our pleasure and happiness here in Auburn come in but if they are going to spoil our college life, I shall begin to question whether they ought to come.. The whole problem is one of common sense. Play the golf links after 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon but not during the morning hours or any class hours. There is plenty of time for pleasure if you will put even a fair amount of time on your college work. :Jc * * * I would also say that I am checking up on fellows who are constantly taking weekend trips out of town. My impression is that these students are hurting themselves. I can't help but believe that the fellow that gets in here at 4:00 o'clock Monday morning is unfitted for class work during Monday. I do not criticise if a man can make a trip home or elsewhere between classes and get back at a time which will not interfere with college duties, but I do have a strong impression that the persistent out-of-town traveler cannot do full credit to his work. Don't forget that your record counts. Numerous questionnaires come to my desk. In fact we receive one almost daily about some student or other person who has been connected with the institution who is. seeking to get a job somewhere else. They ask such questions as these: What is his character? What was his ability? What was his general record? Is he honest? Why did he leave your employ? Did he use intoxicants? Was he dependable? Would he be a desirable employee? Now ask yourselves: What about the student who gambles? What about the student who cuts classes? What about the student who is not regular and conscientious in his attendance upon college duties? What about the student who is not dependable because he does not attend college duties? What about the student who drinks? What can I say or any member of the faculty say when a company asks us these questions? The great thing in college life, just as in everyday life, is to have a record that is clean, a character above reproach, and a reputation of attending promptly and religiously to the tasks that are set before you. If you will form the habit of doing these things in college, you will be able to do the same things when you get out of college. It is worth thinking about. ¥ AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « AT IT AGAIN! Absent-minded professors are a reality. The ministry of education of Bucharest mistook a book named "Secrets of the Harem" for a Greek grammar and distributed thousand copies of the books. However, the alert professors did not stop there for one of them passed them out to the students. The mistake was not discovered until the pupils were found reading them during their recess periods in preference to playing. Very like the Prof that quizzed his nails and cut his classes. The Interfraternity struggle last night showed that there should be another effort made by the fraternities to get some dancers in them. Seems to us that a girl had rather walk home than go to an Auburn dance—as far as her dogs are concerned. * * * * * * * * * By the way, who was that girl who thought she was on a Paris; stage almost all the time? She was either innocent or experienced. * * * * * * * * * * Maybe we weren't glad of our home when we learned how Chicago was swimming around in about twenty inches of slush left from the record snowfall of the last week of March. One dollar per hour snow shovelers come mighty high when a city has been mourning for a year that she was financially defunct. The snow didn't turn to Hale. * * * * * * * * * We understand that "Smiling Bob" Willingham went through a series of riotous and hilarious adventures while sojourning in the Magic City. He declines to discuss any excepting one. Which is that, Bob? He is raving about a good "air-minded" story on "cochlebur." * * * ' * * * * * * They must have fine whiskey down in the South Sea Islands where a bottle of whiskey and a wife cost a dollar. t . * ' * * * * * * * * If the interest taken in the miniature golf course means anything, then Auburn should have a flock of fairway trotters before many more moons have passed. When the students quit making classes to play golf, it must be getting important. * * * * * * * * * Rand Junior McFerrin is having a hard time trying to keep the fire department in order these days. Besides doing all the freshman chores he has to be on the alert all the time. Almost anytime now we are expecting to hear of Fire Chief Hood having his shoes shined by the good-natured Mr. Mac. * * * * * * * * * She wasn't a bank teller's daughter, but she was used to money just the same. * * * * * * * * * April 7th, 1930 To whom it may concern: It is rumored that the dashing Mr. Suffich has joined the ranks of the "Emmisaries of Good-Will" from A. P. I. to W. C. A. Evidently a lasting impression was made, for the day he returned a message came via. Western Union, followed by a special delivery the next day. Neal will not divulge the contents of either message; but—the telegram was sent "collect" and the special "happened" to arrive on April 1st. 1111 Come on Neal, tell us about it! ! ! ! * * * * * * * * * Since the elections last week, we have been viewing many happy faces among the students. But those who lost out in the race don't realize exactly how lucky they are. If they but knew half of it, they could easily be a contortionist long enough to pat themselves on the back. * * * * * * * * * This big ruckus between the* wets and drys is not so very different after all. The wets crave the bottle, while the drys are seeking a battle. Well, they both seem to be getting what they want at this time without carrying it to a vote in the country. * * * * * * * * * He was no highway engineer, but he certainly knew her curves. * WITH OTHER COLLEGES * HIGHER EDUCATION Now the University of North Carolina has taken another step towards higher education. This time patent coat hooks have been installed in the library. These hooks make it impossible for anyone except the owner of the coat to remove it. As the coat is hung up, it is automatically locked and a small key is pressed in the slot. Now if some Mercerian will only invent a similar device for textbooks we can rate too. But we don't have any coats. * * * * Furman Hornet:—We can well believe that the Southland is seriously impoverished. Not only have garters passed into the class of unnecessary luxuries so far as Furman is concerned, but it has become quite customary to see a group of what is known generally as the "best dressed social stratum of America" parading about with knickers—probably without buckles which financial embarrassment kept from being replaced—hanging perilously near the southern-most anatomical extremities of the said personages. We would like to suggest that the Greenville Community Chest list these poverty-stricken students as worthy objects of charity and bestow upon them sufficient funds for putting their garments in respectable condition. (That's very thoughtful). * * * * HELL BROKE LOOSE Man is by nature a social being and is endowed with a certain gregarious instinct, as is evidenced by the various social organizations and entertainments that are on our every side, but there are times when that gregarious instinct assumes the form of mob spirit and those individuals involved lose the major portion of their sense of reason and commit acts that they would not think of doing if they were in their normal state of mind. (How's that?). Two nights ago after the freshmen had hilariously tossed their green caps into the fire they had lighted on stadium field, they conceived the idea that they were invincible and started out to free freshmen which they assumed were locked in the various fraternity houses. They congregated in front of several fraternities, demanding that the spohomores in" them come out and give fight. In two or three instances, daring and reckless members of the group attempted to enter the chapter house, but fortunately were not supported by other members of the mob. Thwarted in their attempt to beat up the sophomores, they then resorted to the mutilation and destruction of property. Not satisfied with leaving a wagon and other articles in the lawn of a certain sorority, they proceeded to tear one of the pillars from under the porch roof and inflict other damage to the porch floor, etc.— Purdue Exponent. Our little kittens are quite tame, aren't they? That's nice. * * * * WHICH IS GREATEST HANDICAP? Students in Purdue University that obtained their prep education in high schools with more than 200 enrollment and with a school term of nine months or longer have a considerably greater chance of successfully completing their undergraduate work in the University than those that came from smaller high schools with less than nine months in the school term, according to Dr. H. H. Remmers and Mr. J. M. S^alnaker in their bulletin, "What kind of High Schools Contribute to College Failures," which will be off the press in a few days. The report, however, showed that probation in the University had no definite corrolation with either the size or the length of term in the high school attended by the student before entering the University. Rumor has it that there will be an election in the Probation Club here at Auburn, to select leaders in this great organization. * * * * AH, FOOTPRINTS Editor:— We understand that it is a common practice for college publications to exchange papers with one another. A very commendable practice it is, but why should it be necessary to be so discriminating? Certainly the fact that a neighboring college in Montgomery is strictly a girl's school should be no reason for graciously declining to make exchanges with them when a goodly portion of our own student body consists of that fairer or weaker sex. Perhaps our exchange manager does not consider the esteem of a sister college as a very valuable asset, but we believe that if he could have seen the number of Plainsman readers who littered up the campus of W. C. A. this past Saturady night that he would agree that Auburn is very much interested in their affairs! Yours, Merely an inquisitive reader. Constructive criticism is welcomed by the Plainsman Staff at all times; destructive is not. But can the above even be classified as criticism? We would suggest that the author wake up and investigate a few things. Talking about litering up the campus at W. C. A. we didn't notice the author denying his helping; or was it a her?

THE REIGN of old King Politics came to a close this week with the final elections of the various class officers. A number have been elated and experienced a huge reaction in the field of pride by the results, while others are wearing faces that depict a disappointed^ empty, lonely and left out feeling. Well, the awful sinking feeling will soon die out but the vanity food will terminate only with the close of the office. There have been many schemes set up to do away with the unfairness of the wrong kind of politics and much has been accomplished in this respect; still there are a number of wrinkles that need ironing out. There will always be the element of politics in such a democratic atmosphere as exist at Auburn but the politics should at all times be as fine as the democracy which makes it possible. * * * * THE SENIORS are back from their inspection trip with a wonderful inertia for work. A great deal of interest was seen and an over large quantity of excellent material was gathered for bull sessions. The enjoyable week, with its new experiences, has to be lived over with those who were so unfortunate as to have missd it. From all accounts the trip was a huge success and an interesting and pleasing deviation from class room routine. * * * * IF SOMEONE doesn't hang some crepe over that big round lantern hanging in the sky and do something about all of this pretty weather, there is going to be very little studying done. The boys and girls are beginning to wax sentimental under the influence of the various beauties of spring and under the call of old Mother Nature. * * * * DR. KNAPP has been kind enough to postpone our final dances until after the senior examinations, a kind move for which I am deeply grateful. With an array of examinations facing me, and with the outcome depending on whether or not I carry off the sheepskin, I am afraid I wouldn't have much spirit of the dance. On top of that it will be much more convenient for those graduating that wish to have their girls down for both the dances and graduation. * * * * WELL, WE finally have our new Coach. May he make possible the realization of the many football dreams the students and alumni have had for this "grand old school." I hope that the student body will enter behind our new Coach with a spirit of optimism and a belief that he will gloriously guide Auburn's football out of the swamps of defeat and despair. An attitude of disbelief will not create very much spirit and unity of pull. One man can not make a football team, but the right man at the right hour with the right student body can. The hour is certainly right and we have the right man. Now it is up to the student body to play their part of the game. BRISBANE IMAGINES THE UNIMAGINABLE Philosopher Arthur Brisbane for a good many years has been fond of saying every now and then, as he did say Sunday: "What men can imagine, they can do." Many visualize themselves as wealthy, but few are wealthy—few ever will be. Men may imagine themselves care-proof and beyond anxiety; but they never attain thef happy state for long, if ever. A man may imagine himself floating in the air, but he cannot float in the air. A man may imagine himself growing a new set of teeth, but if he needs a new set he will have to hire a dentist to make it. A man may imagine himself emperor of the United States, but we shall continue for yet a little while to have Presidents, no matter how vividly a man may imagine himself emperor. Imagination is a free lance. It is not bound by the rules of logic and reason. Whenever reason becomes good enough to keep pace with fancy then may we say that "what men imagine they can do." —Montgomery Advertiser. Taken From POETS, PAINTERS, PUDDINGS Puddings should be Full of currants, for me: Boiled in a pail, Tied in the tail Of an old bleached shirt: So hot that they hurt, So huge that they last From the dim, distant past Until the crack o' doom Lift the roof off the room. • —Richard Hughes.

Men and women of the Bell System made this service worthy, and the public has recognized this by its greatly increased usage. The Bell Laboratories improved the quality of sound transmission by modifying existing apparatus and designing new. Western Electric manufactured the necessary equipment of the highest standards. Operating telephone companies, working with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, shortened the time for completing calls and reduced the rates.

Joe Burt grabbing flies in all directions and hitting within the "select circle", Ralph Jordan, fourth among Southern Conference hardwood performers in scoring last season^and captain-elect of Auburn's 1931 hardwood five, has been changed from a leading contender for an outfield berth on Auburn's 1930 baseball team to a pitcher with a bright future. Jordan is a southpaw deluxe.as he does all of his many athletic chores from the portside. He played with the yearlings at "first and in the outer gardens last year, but decided to cast his lot this season only with the candidates'for the pasture positions. Because he is well fortified with fly chasers, Coach Sheridan decided to try Jordan in the box. He lacks experience but is improving fast under Coach Sheridan, who is a former (Continued on page •) Wynne is Great Coach frank Wallace, of the New York Daily Mirror, Praises New Coach to Macon Paper EDITOR'S NOTErTbe follow-ing article on Chet Wynne, Auburn's new football coach, was written for Thel Telegraph by Frank Wallace, of the New York Daily Mirror, who is here with the Brooklyn baseball club. ' Mr. Wallace, who is a Notre Dame man, is very familiar with Wynne and Knute Rockne's coaching methods, and he was requested -by The Telegraph to give some first hand information on the new Auburn coach for the benefit of football fans in this-locality. In Chet Wynne, Auburn is getting not only a football coach who fol-lowed a fine playing career with an impressive coaching record, but one of those rare personalities who bubble with the sparkling wine of life. Chet Wynne is going to be popular down here if he never wins a football game—and that is, why he will win many; for personality is the margin of success for any football coach. Not that Chetter, as we know him at Notre Dame, is one of those high-powered prof essionals who overpower you with dynamic orbs, vigorous handshakes, facial contortions and other tricks picked up from a correspondence course on how to be successful. ' i Just the opposite; Chet is one of those people who has it and keeps it buried. Physically he is handsome; in- college, with the complexion of a Kansas farmer boy, he was a collar-ad type. Regular, features, clear eyes, a ready smile and a voice and manner which will fit into your charming South, as it seems to me, as a( 20-foot putt sinks into the soul. Pleasing Personality. You're going to like him at once; then he'lkgrow on you. Superficially he'll impress yqu as a gentle sort of a thoroughbred; lateujyou'll discqver that underneath he loves the rough stuff; eats it up. In college the girls became excited about the handsome, charming athlete, as naturally they would; but Chet didn't give them much of a break; not because he didn't want to; he scurried away like a frightened colt. Very probably he has been tamed by now; for the sake of the Georgia peaches, let's hope notV They tell me Auburn needs an organizer. I'm not familiar with Wynne's coaching methods; but his record as a coach seems to follow his career as a player so closely that he will probably come through brilliantly. Wynne is a chap who improves. At Notre Dame he played less than a full game as a varsity man in his sophomore year; in his junior year he filled in acceptably, playing between the immortal George Gipp and the great Johnny Mohardt. As a senior Wynne was a sensation— and he ranks with Elmer Lay-den and Paul Castner as the greatest fullbacks Rockne ever developed. Good on Defense Wynne was not a punter or passer— with Gipp and Mohardt around he wasn't needed in those capacities; but as a line plunger, as receiver and a defensive fullback, Chet Wynne was sweeter back of that line than-either Layden or Castner. He is steeped in Rockne/football; played on what I consider the greatest team Rockne ever developed and was a member of a backfield—Gipp, Mohardt, Brandy and Wynne— which if it had played three years together as did the Four Horsemen, would have been greater, in my estimation, than that famous quartet. Wynne was coached by Rockne when Rock had all his fire; he has kept close to the master coach since then and has picked up all of the sagacity which Rockne developed during his later years. Chet was a high hurdler and track captain—one of the greatest hurdlers in the country in his last two years. If memory is correct he narrowly missed being elected football captain. As a Baptist he was considered the most popular man at Notre Dame, an overwhelmingly Catholic school. Wynne vs. Mehre The alumni will like Wynne; and what is more important, his boys will like him;~«ind-they'll fight for him— and the South can look forward to some hot games when Chet Wynne's team meets that of Harry Mehre or of any other Notre Dame coach in the South. Auburn got a break when it got Chet Wynne. It got a man who will put well-coached teams on the field ,—a he-man and a gentleman who will represent the university favorably in any capacity it may require If Auburn gives him material he will turn out the type of team it has been wanting. Newton's Homer is Feature of Auburn Victory Over Lions By W. E. Free Big Ben Newton broke up the ball game between the Lions of Montgomery and Tigers last Monday with a home run in the tenth frame. Auburn couldn't quite get started in their first trio to the plate, scoring no runs. In the second inning the Tigers not being satisfied with Montgomery in the lead, a slugging son-test was started which did not cease until four runners had made the circuit. Duripg this inning Big Ben and Joe Burt started things off with a single apiece, Harry Lloyd fanned out; and Slick Kaley drove a double to left field scoring Newton and Burt. Kaley scored when Ike Lewis singled. Ike advanced to second on a passed ball and was driven in by Phil Hodges' single. Stewart, the initial pitcher for the Lions, held the Tigers in check during the' third and fourth innings when he was releived by McWhirter. The Tigers could not get on to Mc- Whirter's deliveries very easily and secured only three hits while he_was doing the tossing. Lefty Prim did a nice job of twirling, holding the Lions in complete check after the first canto. Lefty gave up only three hits in five innings when he was* relieved by Buck Carter. Buck did some nice pitching also, and held the Lions at bay until two easy ones were muffed by his team-mates. Captain Jim Crawford thrilled the fans in the ninth by his alertness and speed. Roddy pasted a long one which seemed to be a sure home run, but Jim was off like flash and had the coveted ball in a moment Roddy stopped at third^ In the tenth frame Red Perkins, star southpaw of the Lion's pitching sTaff, relieved McWWrter. Perkins suffered no better treatment by the Tigers,. as Captain Jim Crawford beat out a grounder and then Big Ben Newton stopped the game with his. terrific smash into right field.

Final tryouts were held early this week and with the aid of the excellent weather the past week, Coach Hutsell's men should be in excellent condition when the first gun is fired in the Gate City Saturday afternoon. The 1930 calendar calls for meets with the Strong Georgia, Tulane, and Georgia Tech outfits as well as entrance in the Southern Relays in Atlanta, the A. A.

Men making the trip are as follows: Bell, capt., Burnett, alt. capt., Handy, Gray, Dollins, Jones, Huff, Chamblee, Beard, McLendon, Stewart, Roberts, Hughes, Robinson, Coleman, Teague, and O'Hara. .

It was the first conference loss for the Tigers in three games and the second .win for Bill White's nine in the same number of conference tilts. Georgia always tried for one run, while the Plainsmen generally tried for several when men were on the hassocks. Because they were always out to shove one run across the plate instead of several, Georgia scored once in the initial frame on hits by Day and Rothstein and a beautiful sacrifice by McGaughey. Support Weakens Prim settled down after the opening stanza and held the Bull Dogs scoreless until the fourth when Joe Burt let Gorman's single go through his legs for a home run. Another run was added to their total in the fifth when Davenport caught one of Prim's slants and sent it sailing far into left field for a triple, scoring Smith, who had singled, ahead of him. Only some fast fielding by Hodges kept Davenport from getting a homer. . The final counter for the Red and Black nine came in the ninth. Catfish Smith be$t out an infield hit, advancing to third on two fielders' choice, and scored when Lefty Mur-dock singled.

Lloyd whiffed for the second successive time, but "Kaley came thru" with his second- timely knock, a single to right which sent Crawford across the plate. Riley hit to short, and McGaughey tossed out Kaley at second ending what looked like might be a winning rally. Pitchers Gain Honors The honors for the day went to the pitchers. Chandler whiffed six and walked two. Prim struck out eight and walked three, but did not have the "stuff" that he has shown on other occasions this season. Duck Riley continued his brilliant fielding around the keystone as he handled 11 chances without a symbol of an error. Capt. Harry Gorman, Catfish Smith and Bennie Rothstein carried off hitting honors for Georgia, while Ben Newton and Kaley were the big guns with the willow for the Orange and Blue nine. Gorman was only credited with one official time at bat, singling for a perfect day. The other leading hitters -hit safely twice. The two teams meet again today with Lefty Murdock and Gorman probable starters on the mound and behind the plate for Georgia, and Carter and Kaley or Ingram-for Auburn. The game will begin at 2:30.

As the students, who came here in a special train from Pittsburg, inspected the 133-foot master ring girder of the new ship, which recently was raised into an upright position in the hanger, Commander Zeno Wicks explained construction details of the aerial drednaught, comparing it with the former Naval ship, Shenandoah; the present Navy ship, Los Angeles, and the German ship, Graf Zeppelin, all of which it eclipses in size and efficiency.

School Girl Has Too Vivid Imagination Denver—(IP)—A school girl's conception of George Washington in a twentieth century atmosphere so startled officials of a private school here that she was placed under suspension for a week. With other members of her class she was told to write what would hap pen if the father of this country should visit us today. "I dressed myself as I thought a girl of my age would dress in those demure times," wrote the thirteen-year- old girl, whose father is a well-known short story writer. "I went down to Mount Vernon and asked Washington to take a walk with me. We started along the road to Alexandria. "He did not seem to notice the marvelous inventions that were everywhere in view. An airplane passing over our head caused only- moderate curiosity in him. "A swiftly traveling automobile elicted little more than a passing remark. "We continued our stroll until we were nearly half way to Alexandria Coming down the road was a flapper, with short skirts and -bobbed hair, idly puffing a cigarette. "And that's where I lost George." And that's why she didn't attend classes for a week. MINERVA IS NAME TO BE SUGGESTED FOR NEW PLANET No Cognomen Given Yet To Celestial Body Discovered By Arizona Scientists J Expedition Discovers 4000-Yr.-Old Mummy Philadelphia—(IP)—The University of Pennsylvania Museum expedition at Meydum, Egypt, has uncovered a mummy, which with its Odecora-tions of amulets and jewelry lay undisturbed for 4,000 years, it has been announced by museum officials here. Alan Bowe, field director, informed the officials, they said, that the mummy was of a woman nemed Sat-Her-em- Hat, who lived about 2,000 B. C. Around the neck of this woman," the report stated, " was hung a semicircular pendant formed by several concentric rows of faience cylinder beads, alternately green and black. In addition to this a string of large graded beads polished amethyst was found as well as a string of exquisite miniature amulets cut in carnelian, jasper and lapis lazuli. "The semi-circular end pieces of the pendant are of blueish-green faience, shaped and painted on the inner corner to represent hawks' heads. A aca-rab found in the coffin bore the proper name "Her-em-Hat, the elder,' evidently a relative of the deceased.". Rowe said the expedition was continuing its search for a burial chamber in the mastabah lying near the great pyramid of Heneferu, who lived about 2900 B. C. Flagstaff, Ariz.—(IP)—Although the name Minerva is believed to be the most likely choice of scientists as a cognomen for the new planet recently discovered by observers at the Lowell Observatory here, as yet no name has been selected. Many names have been suggested, according to Captain Charles "E. Freeman, superintendent of the Naval Observatory at Washington, which recently succeeded in photographing the newly discovered celestial body. He says: "The Naval Observatory is receiving numerous suggestions as to names for the planet, most of them accompanied by a statement of the reasons for the choice. One of the first formal suggestions was the name Erebus, as indicative of the darkness of the outer space which has been withholding the planet from human ken all these many centuries. "By far the ""best suggestion has been the name Minerva. Not only does the name typify the human wisdom that enabled Professor Lowell to reason out the planet's probable position long before its discovery, but the name is associated with handicraft. And it was with a photographic plate in the hands of an observatory assistant that the planet was discovered. "Furthermore, the announcement was made in March which is the month of the ancient annual feast of Minerva. "There is another reason that springs somewhat from coincidence. The 'di consentes' of the Romans, forming a group of their principle gods, were officially ordained or established in 217 B. C. In this dode-cade, gods and goddesses were linked in pairs. Paired with Minerva was Neptune, as together, in a manner, we find them in our planetary family. "Minerva appears to be the only neighbor deity of the Graceco-Ro-man mythology not employed as a name of an important celestial body. Leda, a name suggested for the Flag is Hauled Down By Striking Students Striking students at the Lincoln Memorial University, at Harrogate, Tennessee, hauled down the United States Flag that flew over the campus Thursday. "The Flag is a symbol of justice and we don't want it to float over the campus of a university where those qualities have ceased to exist." This was the declaration of the chairman of the student body and of the student strike committee. The flag was taken down and carried • to the office of Acting- President J. H. S. Morrison. planet, because of its discovery in the constellation of Castor and Pollux, of whom Leda was the legendary mother, is already assigned to an anteroid. Atlas is rather tied up to the earth for no very sound reason. "Kronus or Cronus is identical with Saturn. Pluto is the prototype of Satan in many minds and drops out for that reason perhaps." Under astronomical custom the privilege of naming the new planet will rest with the group of scientists whose patient observations resulted in its discovery. The discovery of Neptune in 1846 led to an attempt to violate this custom by naming it Laverrier, after a French savant who had predicted its discovery, but the suggestion was so unfavoi-ably received outside of France, its sponsors withdrew it and suggested instead Neptune. At the suggestion of Dominique Jean Arago, of France, Laverrier began to study the mystery. Other astronomers were also working on the puzzle, among them the Englishman John Couch Adams. On Oct. 21, 1845, he icommunicated to the Royal astronomer computations of the mass and position in the heavens of a planet which would account for the wanderings of Uranus. His achievement was ignored at the time, however. Meanwhile, Laverrier, working independently reached similar conclusions. In 1846 he presented before the French Academy three papers proving that only an exterior body could produce the irregularities of Uranus, and describing its orbit. This resulted in the acceptance of the discovery of Neptune. Annual Week Alabama Fanners Be Held Here, July 28-August 2 Farm People Will Get Information About Work Done At Ag School, Experiment Station, and Extension Service The six days beginning July 28 and ending August 2 have been set aside as the period for the 1930 farmer's week exercises at Auburn. Announcement of this was made by President Bradford Knapp, with the statement that the program for the occasion will be arranged for farm women as well as for men. During these six days farm people of the State will get first hand information about the work being done at their State College of Agriculture, their State Experiment Station, and also the Extension Service. Lectures will be given and demonstrations conducted along practical lines so that those who attend will get information of economic importance to them. Along with lectures and demonstrations those in attendance will be University Of Paris Falls Heir to Land Paris, France—(IP)—The University of Paris has fallen heir to the splendid chateau and grounds in the town of Richelieu, belonging to the Duke de Richelieu, descendant of France's famous cardinal, and well known in America.

Three other men were killed by the girder. conducted on sight-seeing trips thru the buildings and over the grounds. In this way they will see the experimental work in progress. In addition to the usual exercises the annual convention of the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation will be held at Auburn, July 31-August 1. By this arrangement Farm Bureau delegates and representatives may spend the first three days of the week in the farmers' week exercises which will be climaxed with the Farm Burau convention. A special program will be arranged for farm women, many of whom are expected to attend. As in former years, the Alabama Council of Home Demonstration Women will hold their annual convention in conjunction with the State Farm Bureau convention. This organization of women is composed of active county organizations in more than half of the counties of the State. In addition to the farm people themselves, the county agents and home demonstration agents of the State will be present. They will take part in the meetings and also hold separate sessions for the discussion of problems pertaining to Extension work. President Knapp said that the aim is to make this bigger and better than any other farmers' week exercises yet held at Auburn. That of 1929 established a new high record and the aim is to build and improve from year to year, he said. Americans Are Too Fat, Says Physician Princeton, N.

It was shown that when the vitamin fails to appear at the table, appetite likewise fails to show up. Lack of one of the two vitamins, B or G, was believed responsible for inducing anorexia, as loss of appetite is properly known, when the detective work was begun, Professor George R. Cowgill, of Yale University, explained to the biologists who spent a good week here exploring life. The discovery was made through experiments with dogs which first were fed a diet lacking Vitamin B, known to have anti-neuritic effect, and then food minus Vitamin G, valued as an 'anti-pellagra substance. Denied Vitamin B, the dogs lost all interest in life and food, paid no attention to prowling cats, fell off in weight, and developed neurotic symptoms. All of those symptoms were put to flight, however, when the vitamin was furnished them. Cats again became their eternal quarry as the appetite stimulating vitamin was placed in their food, which no longer went untouched. Vitamin G was eliminated as a causative factor when it failed either to drive away appetite or bring it back. Vitamin B travels in the company of unrefined grains such as whole wheat, unpolished rice and other crude cereals. When these grains are dressed up and husked of their rough exteriors, B refuses further association with them. Both B and G vitamins are found in fresh fruits and vegetables. A popular belief went by the boards when Dr. James E. Lebensohn of Northwestern University showed that "train sickness" is not caused by shifting scenery, but by disturbance of the labyrinth of the passengers ears due to the jolting of the cars. In laboratory tests he found a moving panorama failed to induce the sensation of nausea attending the sickness, which, however, was brought PRESIDENT KNAPP PREDICTS WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM AT AUBURN IN THREE YEARS (Continued from page 1) operating on the same budget of a few years ago the faculty has been largely increased and many more students are receiving instruction there now than were enrolled a few years ago. The spirit of cooperation is not confined to the faculty and student body but is also exemplified by the people of the town, the speaker stated. Speaking of the athletic situation Dr. Knapp stated that he felt that the selection of Chet Wynne as football coach, has apparently solved one of the greatest problems so far as the football troubles are concerned. He assured the alumni that the new coach has already been given a warm reception by the prospective pig skin toters and the assistant coaches. "Don't expect a winning team this year," Dr. Knapp warned, "but give Chet two or three years and he will turn out a winning team at Auburn. We must not let him fail," he concluded in a strong appeal for the cooperation of the alumni. After concluding his remarks as to the athletic situation, Dr. Knapp pointed out some of the things needed at Auburn. Among them are included a sewerage system; new hotel; new school building in the town and the completion of the buildings now under way. The Ross building was praised for its equipment and will be dedicated along with other buildings during the commencement exercises this year. Skull of Mastodon ,' Found in California Berkeley, Calif.—(IP)—The university of California now has in its possession apparent proof that huge mastodons roved California during the Pliocene age, a million years before the glacial period. The proof is the skull of a mastodon in a rare state of preservation, which has been given to the University by engineers who found the prehistoric relic while drilling for oil at Kettleman Hills, near Coalinga. According to Professor W. D. Mat-hew, chairman of the Paleontology department of the university, the skull was of a neo-mastodon. about by electrical stimulation and disturbances of the fluid in the semicir- ' cular canals of the ears.

Jordan is also being tried out at the initial sack as the Tiger mentor wants outstanding reserves for every position. The first chance that Jordan will have to display his ability as a pitcher will be in the lone game with the Enterprise All-Stars, who will be played April 23, when the Orange and Blue nine makes their annual jaunt to Panama City, Fla., for the trio of games with the University of Florida, April 24, 25 and 26.

STUDES MOVE TO RENEW ATHLETICS Swarthmore, Pa.—(IP)—A campaign for the purpose of moving undergraduate and alumni of Swarthmore and Haverford colleges to take definite action toward the resumption of athletic relationship between the two schools is being carried on by the respective undergraduate newspapers of the colleges, the Swarthmore Phoenix and the Haverford News. • Student polls are being taken at both colleges and blanks are being sent to alumni in order to obtain an expression of sentiment. The movement is directed toward the scheduling of a contest in 1931 during the football- season, after a six-year intermission. Swarthmore won the last game 70 to 13 after trailing by 13 to 0 at the end of the first quarter.

Track Meet Will Be Held At Night The nationally famous West Coast Relays, to be held in the Fresno State College Stadium, California, on April 26 in connection with the Raisin Day celebration, is to be a night event this year. This will permit the automobile races to be held that afternoon, and will make the track meet the first major one ever held at night. A battery of floodlights that will give an intensity of five foot-candles over the entire area is being installed at the stadium and in the fall the projectors will be adjusted so that an intensity of eight foot-candles will be projected on the football field alone for night games in that major sport. The lighting installation includes sixty General Electric projectors with 1000-watt incandescent lamps, mounted in batteries of ten atop six 90-foot steel towers. Power is supplied by an underground cable system. Each lamp will be individually fused and provided with a disconnect device at the top of the tower. A master switch with fuses will be provided to control the whole system. New York—(IP)—New York University men here are taking active flights in gliders. FOR SALE:—Household Furniture.

The number, of girls, most of whom were from out of town, was one of the largest ever to attend any dance in Auburn. The gymnasium, the scene of the affair, was decorated in orange and blue streamers. About tjhe walls, fraternity pennants were placed. The orchestra was arranged on a platform, to the rear of which was a large painting of an ancient ship sailing on a Grecian sea. On the sail of the ship was painted the symbol of the council, an Indian seated near a campfire. The dance music was furnished by Bill Nappi's orchestra, from Birmingham, which received much favorable comment. The dancing lasted from nine until twelve thirty. - Ten members from each of twenty-two fraternities represented on the council were allowed to attend the dance. The following young ladies attended the dance: Misses Bertha Northrop, Sara McCord, Lucy Reid, Mary Frances Suggs, Mary Alice Riddle, Lillian Arnett, Emily Young, Mary Elizabeth Morey, Eleanor Home, Eloise Hodges, Imogene Hanv mond, Mildred Rogers, Foxye Lann-ing, Helen Crc(oks, Geraldine Ha-hone, Eugenia Harper, Claire Castes, Myrtle Welch, Becky Flournoy, Margaret Hudson, Nola Heath, Ben Lou Hodges, Miriam Marchant, Louise Rowe, Mildred Harrell, Virginia Bag-ley, Mary Olive Carnley, Kathryn Baxter, Annice Griggs, Dorothy An-dress, Helen Hall, Helen Ingram, Bess Leverette, Mary George Lamar, Betty Sutherlin, Miriam Moore, Louise Cooper, Sophia DuBose, Ruth Thornton, Wilhelmina Martin, Lu-cile King, Sunshine Green, Eleanor Buckalew, Virginia Sparkman, Anita Mitchell, Marjorie Brinson, La Verne Watts, Dabney Hare, Jane Yarbrough, Mary Louise Halloway, Jule TJunter, Frances Moore, Frances McGehee, Elinor Hooper, Kathleen Russell, Abbie Brasseale, Louise Bidell, Rebecca Chappelle, Pauline Newman, Ida Mae Brandon, Lily Barnes Clur-ry, Sarah Hall Crenshaw, Betty Buchana, Janice Ward, Martha Dickinson, Eunice Shannon, Mary Tip-pins, Marie Glenn, Anna Cowart, Betty Anderson, Hoyt Enloe, Ann Gilchrist, Emma Kate Hyatt, Betty Crew, Alyce Mae Perry, Eugenia Harper, Helen Shackelford, Mildred Wood, Kathryn Patterson, Louise Cooper, Vivian Hester, Roberta Had-en, and Betty Mardre. Junior Architects Make Small Houses Will Display In Windows of Student Supply Shop During The Coming Week True scale models of community houses designed and built by junior students in the School of Architecture and Applied Arts will be exhibited all this coming week in the windows of the Student Supply Shop. Professor E. W. Burkhardt announced today that through the courtesy of Professor A. L. Thomas, owner of the shop, the display will begin this afternoon and last until the end of the following week. It is a required part of the program in the course in architecture for a student to design and build upon the design a model building. Every year the specifications are different. This year the program called for a community house that would embrace all the necessary equipment for such a building, such as offices, auditorium, special sections, and playgrounds. (Continued on page 6) AnnualAgBanquet To Be Next Friday Dance at Gym Will Be Held In Connection With Banquet The annual Ag Banquet, spring event held by the Students Agricultural Club, will be held Friday evening, April 18, with C. A. Cobb, editor of The Southern Ruralist, as the principal speaker of the evening. Plans are fast being completed to make this the best banquet ever put on by this organization; tickets have been on sale during the past week, and indications are that a record-breaking crowd will attend. Preliminary reports are indicative of a gathering approaching the two hundred taiark. An additional feature, making this a dual event, is proving very popular with the Ag students; a dance will be staged in connection with the banquet, in the Alumni Gymnasium immediately following. This is the first time in the history of the event that a dance has been granted the Ag Club backers, and interest is running high in this additional attraction. The decorations committee will arrange the gym in attractive keeping with the spirit of the occasion, giving it an elusive barnyard effect. Reports are that attendants will be gay-ly attired in overalls and gingham— universal symbols of agricultural activity. Abie Hardin's orchestra has been booked to furnish the music for this event. Authorities report that no effort will be spared in making this a real old-time breakdown. During the meal, distinction in college agricultural realms will be meted out to various Ag Club students, in keeping with the time-honored custom. The big event will be that of awarding the Gamma Sigma Delta loving cup to the best all-round junior. Until the time of the award, no hint is given as to the recipient; however, the honor bids fair to be hotly contested this spring. Ag club diplomas will be awarded those seniors who have met the requirements for such. Other honorary features will be conducted. Six Are Selected By Phi Delta Gamma Honorary Society Forensic Fraternity Has Second Election Of Year Six students prominent, in forensic activities were elected to Phi Delta Gamma, the national forensic fraternity at the last meeting of the organization it was learned to-day. The men are Clyde Kimbrough, A. M. Pearson, Thomas Pyke, Howard Gray, H. D. Mosley, and Eugene Gray. Phi Delta Gamma is the national forensic fraternity on the campus. Every year it sponsors the literary contests held between the literary societies and encourages work in debating, declamation, and all forms of forensic activity among the students. The Auburn chapter of the organization was founded here in 1924 and since that time has been interested in the development of student talent along the lines of oration and literary work. College Stunt Night Is Postponed Until Friday Conflicting Activities Causes Y.M.C.A. Officials to Alter Date The annual College Stunt Night, scheduled for Friday night was postponed because of conflicting activities. Due to the Interfraternity Council Dance, the Georgia-Auburn baseball game, and the Georgia Tech Relays, in which many of the Auburn men are participating, it was deemed advisable to hold the event this coming week. This action will give the ten organizations who plan to have stunts in Langdon Hall on Stunt Night to rehearse a little longer and have better skits for presentation. Auburn Representatives Attend Education Meet College Has One Hundred Seventeen Memben in the A. E. A. Official representatives of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at the Alabama Educational Association in Montgomery this week were President Bradford Knapp, Dean Zebulon Judd, of the School of Education, Dr. George Petrie, professor of history and dean of the Graduate School, Professor James R. Rutland, professor of English, and Dean M. J. Funchess of the College of Agriculture. (Continued on page 6) Plans Are Completed For Traveling Library L. N. Duncan and Miss Julia Wright Merrill Discuss Plans For New Work CORRECTION David Mosley, and not Fred Hardy, was elected secretary of the class of 1931 in the recent elections. The report that Hardy was elected was submitted before the final count was taken, and was published in the election edition as reported. Mosley, whose home is in Montgomery, is an electrical engineering student. SCABBARD ANDBLADE INITIATES 19 TODAY Eugene L. Bothwell, of Decatur, Ga., Is Newest Pledge Nineteen juniors will be admitted into Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society, in the annual spring initiation this week-end. Today, the pledges appeared in comic dress along the streets of Auburn, and performed many humorous feats. Falling in at seven o'clock this morning, the prospective members marched to posts on different parts of the campus. A camp was formed on the neutral ground at the intersection in front of the Main Gate. An intermission was given after the drill on Drake Field. The next meeting of the pledges will take place on Toomer's corner at seven o'clock this evening. A ten mile hike for the initiates will begin at three o'clock. The formal ceremonies will begin at sunrise tomorrow morning. Eugene L. Bothwell, of Decatur, Georgia, is the newest pledge. He will be initiated with the rest of the candidates. Lions Club Hears Miss Duncan On Girls* Work Explains Work Being Done By Camp Fire Group Plans for promoting traveling libraries in Alabama counties were discussed here recently by Director L. N. Duncan of the Extension Service, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Miss Julia Wright Merrill of the American Library Association, and Miss Fannie Taber, field worker of the Alabama Library Association. They hope at some later date to see a system of library extension work in Alabama that would make available to people in rural communities adequate library facilities, including books and bulletins on agriculture. Trucks would be used to transport the books from central stations. Miss Wright and Miss Taber also conferred with Miss Helen Johnston, state chairman of the committee on home demonstration work, Miss Mary Martin, librarian, and Charles Edwards, assistant registrar. President Knapp Predicts Winning Football Team Here in Three Years With Dr. George Wheeler of Montgomery presiding as toastmaster, the Auburn Alumni dinner was held in the main dining room of the Exchange Hotel in Montgomery Thursday, where Dr. Bradford Knapp briefly gave an outline of some things which the institution is striving to attain. He also praised the spirit of cooperation which prevails among the faculty and student body. Before introducing Dr. Knapp, the principal speaker of the hour, Dr. Wheeler called upon Bebulon Judd for a few remarks relative to the Auburn Summer School. He also took occasion to pay a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. B. B. Ross for many years dean of the chemistry department at Auburn. He called upon the alumni and friends to bow for a moment in silent tribute to the departed chemist for whom one of the new buildings at Auburn is named. The meeting was called to order by J. V. Brown who announced the selection of Dr. Wheeler as the toast-master of the evening. Dr. Wheeler kept the diners in a jovial frame of mind while the dinner was being served and then introduced Dr. Knapp. Dr. Knapp praised the service of the faculty and hearty cooperation which the student body is giving. He stated that the faculty and student body are working with him to make Auburn one of the greatest institutions of learning in the state. After briefly reviewing some of the history of Auburn, Dr. Knapp told of some of the things which he is endeavoring to accomplish along all lines of college activity. He stated that despite the fact the school is (Continued on page 6) Miss Elizabeth Duncan, guardian of the Auburn Camp Fire group, spoke before the Lion's Club at their regular weekly luncheon Tuesday. She explained the nature of the Camp Fire work, and told of the work she was doing with the Camp Fire Girls in Auburn. Miss Duncan's group was one of the first four in a national contest held last year, in which over nine thousand Camp Fire groups participated. A large part of the Camp Fire activities is carried on in the summer camps, Miss Duncan told the Lions. She is planning to take a large number of girls from Auburn to its annual camp which is to be held at Fairhope early in June. Charity work is also stressed in the Camp Fire work, Miss Duncan stated. At present the Auburn Camp Fire group is supporting a family of five living on the outskirts of Auburn, and last year during the flood, •numerous boxes were sent to the stricken Alabama towns. The Lion's Club golf team which will compete in the Inter-Club tournament to be held Saturday April 19, was named as follows: H. W. Nixon, W. T. Ingram, James Seale, and F. E. Guyton.

The remainder of the teams in the council having been eliminated, these two teams remain as the leading contenders for the silver placque awarded annually by the Council to the fraternity presenting the best tennis team for the year. In the previous matches Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Phi Epsilon were linked with Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Phi as the leaders of the contest but having defeated these teams by the scores of 6-0, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, now remain alone. The winner of the match this afternoon will be recognized as the champion team of the council and will receive as a reward the silver placque. A silver tennis trophy will be given to the runner-up of the contest. The following are the participants: S. P. E., "Red" Burton and Henry Tiewis; A. T. O., Jimmy Ware and Ted Tartt. Preparations for the annual horse show on May 1., held under the auspices of the R. O. T. C. unit are rapidly being made and completed, according to a statement made today by Captain Anderson, who is in charge of the event. Having had fine weather during past week practices were made almost every day and a large improvement over last years' try-outs has already been noted. The jumping this year is believed to be the best ever demon-started. Great interest is manifested by the senior riders, and they have been training and practicing very hard the past few weeks for the show. The following seniors are reporting to Captain Anderson; W. H. Clingo, H. C. Pitts, S. C. Subers, E. Gissendan-er, W. B. Story, H. H. Webb, B. Q. Scruggs, J. E. Taylor, D. D. Stroud, and C. F. Brittain. A great many of the junior members of the unit are out, and the class is well represented in the show. Winners in all the jumping events will receive cups as rewards of their merits. Winners in the rescue race, the bending race, and the saddling race will also receive cups. Ribbons will be awarded to first, second, and third place men in all events. Altogether there will be nine events. They are an exhibition ride by the sophomores, senior jumping, junior qump-ing, enlisted men jumping, rescue race, bending race, saddling race, saddling race, a musical choir, and Roman riding. Architects Will Hear Brick Industry Talk J. M. Sisson to Be Here Monday at Invitation of Architects, Chemists, and Industrial Arts Students Students Attend Meets Ala. Y.M.C.A. Groups Robert Sansing, P. D. Whetstone, A. W. Headley, and G. L. Williamson are in Birmingham this weekend, representing Auburn at the twelfth annual session of the Alabama Association of Young Men's Christian associations. College problems and student difficulties will be the subject of several discussions, given by Cecil H. Gamble, Cincinnatti member of the National Y. M. C. A., and H. G. Farr, Nashville, well known workers among boys. A lecture on the "Romance of Mud" will be delivered by J. M. Sis-son, Monday evening at 7 o'clock in the architectural lecture room 201, Samford Hall. The talk will deal with the brick industry and will carry the listeners from the early stages of brick-making to the present day uses of the material. Brick masonry, wall construction, reinforcements, data on wall strengths and other statistics will be given and much valuable information will be contained in a booklet, issues of which will be given to those desiring them. Mr. Sisson is the district engineer for the Common Brick Manufacturers' Association of America, and he is coming here under the combined auspices otf the architectural engineering, the chemistry, and the in-dustrial arts departments. Students interested are invited to attend this lecture. Fifteen men and one woman student were elected by the student body as representatives otf their respective schools to serve on the Executive Cabinet of Undergraduate Students' Association for next year. Nominees from eight departments were voted upon, and in most instances competition was reported to be very keen. The following were elected to serve on the Cabinet: Architecture: Eugene H. Gray, S. A. E., of Mobile, senior; Howard Up-church, Pi Kappa Phi, of Montgomery, junior member. Home Economics: Pauline Wat-kins, Pi Kappa Sigma, of Moulton, senior member. Engineering: Robert L.

McDowell Will be Here on Sunday Was Formerly in Charge of Local Episcopal Church Bishop William G. McDowell of the diocese of Alabama will make his annual visit to the Auburn Episcopal church Sunday morning. He will deliver a sermon and confirm a class of candidates beginning at 11 o'clock. Before election to a head of the Episcopal Church in Alabama, Bishop McDowell was in charge of the Auburn, Opelika, and Tuskegee Episcopal Churches. He is well known in this vicinity and has a host of admirers. Rev. William Byrd lee, Jr., rector of the Auburn Church announced that the public is invited to hear the Bishop's sermon. Davis, Duncan Go To Wash'ton Conferences Practice of Catching Rides Was Started by Member of First Team To "Dutch" Dorsey, fleet halfback on Auburn's first football team can be given the credit for originating the practice of catching rides at Auburn, but instead of catching an automobile, this lad hoboed his way through the line of scrimmage by grasping a rope which was sewed into the trousers of Mr. J. V. Brown, now president of the Auburn Alumni association. "It worked too," said Mr. Brown. You see, "Dutch" was a speed demon and a natural broken field runner. No one ever taught him how to side step, but it was just instinct with him. We knew that he could gain ground if we could just get him beyond the line of scrimmage. The rope idea was suggested and one was tied into my trousers. Both ends of the big grass rope were frazzled out and sewed around my left side leaving a little loop which served as a handle. When the ball was snapped I would come out of the line from my position at guard and trot slowly until 'Dutch' could catch his hold, then there we'd go off tackle or around end till we reached the secondary defense, then the little halfback would leave me often to make touchdowns." This is one of the trick plays which thrilled football fans in the days when football was in its infancy at Auburn back in—? The two men who executed the play are at present holding responsible positions in life. Mr. Brown, whose huge and powerful body conveyed the little "Dutch" through opposing lines now heads up and directs the policies of the Auburn Alumni Association. His team mate and cargo is now a prominent doctor in Atlanta, Georgia. P. 0. Davis, head of the department of public information, and Dr. L. N. Duncan, director of the extension service, will leave tomorrow morning to attend conferences in Washington. Mr. Davis will confer with the Federal Radio Commission in the interest of WAPI, of which he is manager. He will go to New York and Philadelphia after this conference. Dr. Duncan will discuss national legislation business pertaining to extension work, agriculture, and home economics. Collegians Requested To Play In Florida The Auburn Collegians have received a request to play for a series of dances in Panama City, Florida, on April 25 and 26, dates that Auburn and Florida meet in their annual baseball contest. Ion Walker, former star Florida halfback, is the amusement park operator who requested Abie Hardin, manager of the orchestra, to play for him after hearing the orchestra over WAPI. It is expected that the orchestra will make the trip, stopping in Dothan, Alabama to play for one night.

BUSINESS STAFF Hugh W. Overton Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. A Real Auburn Man Has Completed His Work The death of Dr. Ross has cast a pall of sadness over the campus. Many people who have known him through personal contact and through his works mourn the passing of this great figure in agricultural chemistry. For almost two score years he has served Auburn in the capacity of teacher; he has studied in other places that he might be better able to do his tasks here; he has done wonderful research work for the South and nation in agricultural chemistry; in the community of Auburn he has always been a leader, socially and religiously; he has done what he considered right. Auburn feels his loss—the loss of a man whose knowledge and ability are known throughout America; his absence and leadership will be even more appreciated and ...issed since he has left. But even though he has departed, he lived to see his dream of a great chemistry department at Auburn come true. A mighty structure has been erected and named in honor of him, and that is as it should be. His heart and soul were dedicated to the task of raising the chemistry school from the ranks of insignificance to the envious heights it occupies today, and his crowning achievement in this great endeavor was the erection of the new building. He can be truly called a real Auburn man, for he stuck by his work until he had completed it. Students Must Be Ready For Annual R. O. T. C. Inspection Since the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit will be inspected by officers from the headquarters of the Fourth Corps Area, beginning April 21, and lasting four days, it is very necessary that every man in the unit do his utmost to insure Auburn keeping the distinguished rating which she has enjoyed every year for the past decade. Efforts have been made by the officers, stationed here to get the students to have a military bearing at all times, keeping the uniforms in neat shape, being neat themselves, and conducting themselves worthy of the officers some may sometime be. In this work they have been fairly successful; however, at times signs of slouchiness have been very noticeable. A special attempt to be strictly military in bearing, in dress, in aptitude, and in general appearance must be made if Auburn is to remain in the coveted position she now has. The job will not be as great since the students are wearing the beautiful grey measured uniforms instead of the poorly-fitting olive drab "leftovers" from the World War. It has always taken a supreme endeavor on the part of the • tudents and almost persuasive measures i.y the military instructors to get a creditable showing on annual inspections, due chiefly to the condition of the outfits. But this year with a little work and a little care a splendid scene of military students will meet the questioning gaze of the inspectors. We want to encourage the students -to take pride in their work along these lines during the inspection, and to feel that they are doing a great deal for Auburn in helping her maintain this high standard which she has created for herself instead of being compelled to do as they are told. The work required is almost negligible as compared with the notable results to be gained; to again receive the distinguished l-ating will be merely a continuance of the fast pace already set; and to receive it will take less work than usual. Election Winners Have Hard Work Ahead Class elections are over and the officers and representatives of next year have been elected. The winners are to be congratulated upon their election because they have been selected by their fellow students as the leaders for the coming year. As such, it is their duty to take hold in some measure this year while the old officers are still here to help them with any difficulties which may arise. They should not let their interest in their respective officers die out with their election. The success or failure of any student body lies largely with the ability and leadership shown by the officers, since these men are responsible for the organization and activity of their group. Auburn at present is passing through a state of rapid expansion and growth. Old ideas and customs are being torn down rapidly and new ones are being set up in their place. The student body must keep pace with this development and one way of accomplishing this is through the medium of its class officers. Consequently, the burden of the load is upon the shoulders of these men. Too often is the election to a class office looked upon only as a mere honor. It is indeed an honor, an honor of the highest kind but it carries with it certain responsibilities which should not be overlooked. COACH WALLACE WADE Duke University has every reason to consider itself fortunate in securing the services of Wallace Wade for director of athletics. In September 1931 will come the outstanding coach of the South and one of the most famous in the country to direct the athletic destinies of the rapidly-expanding institution in Durham. Coach Wade, by his early youth, his college training, his later participation in Southern athletics as assistant coach and then athletic head at the University of Alabama, is eminently qualified to head the department at Duke. For department it is. No one who recognizes the vast influence that athletics has on the student and academic life of the modern-day College and University would call its part in the curriculum as less than a department. Wallace Wade is a Tennessee farm boy who rose to football heights in/Brown University, far away from his native State. Then he returned to Vanderbilt and Alabama to reap new laurels for the South. His famous teams at Alabama twice scaled the heights in the East-West meets in California. At least six of his outstanding players have received Ail-American honors. But more than this, Coach Wade has so conducted himself on and off the field that he has commanded the utmost respect of his players. He has been a leader in a brotherly way. He has inspired confidence and pride in character. Those alumni who. have expected Duke's team to increase proportionately in strength and cunning with the endowment of the lamented J. B. Duke may have some of the hopes realized when the Wade era is in full sway. Needless to say that Wade's coming to Duke will hold aloft the finest tradition of Old Trinity and the other fine institutions of this State which have long been ancient and honorable rivals. The following brief excerpt from a comment on the sport pages of The Montgomery Advertiser gives the following insight into that State's regard for him: "He has displayed his manhood on too many occasions for even the most biased to dispute. Wade, to the best of our knowledge, never leaned toward the star; he turned deaf ears to fraternities and would countenance no bickering from the would-be bosses. "Alabama will lose a splendid coach and Duke, the baby member of the Conference, will profit by the Tide's loss. In leaving Alabama, Wade will also leave his name etched in the stones of time. A clean liver, Wade naturally was a clean teacher. Victory was sweet over the seven-year stretch for him, and for 'Bama backers. "Only another Wade will prevent Alabama men from fully realizing the greatness of the man who played a titanic part in putting the Tide in the football spotlight of the Nation."—Charlotte Observer. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The Gecko I'm the Gecko who did a lot of politicking last week in the dark. Everyone I saw I promised to help all I could if he would just support my man. Of course, it is impossible for me to help more than one fellow with my vote, but I wanted to get lots more so I simply said that my influence would be directed toward anyone who was willing to cast a vote in my favor. Some of the men I promised aid to were defeated, but I don't care for they should have known that I did not feel bound to keep my promise. Of course, it may cause them to lose all faith in me, but it doesn't matter, for I won't be here but one more year. After that I will never see any of them again, so what's the difference. Let me thank the faculty, staff, and student body for their very generous and fine cooperation on the occasion of the funeral of Dr. Ross. I am sure it was a very spontaneous and splendid tribute to the memory of Dr. Ross. I feel a sense of satisfaction in knowing that the whole community met the emergency adequately. * * * * We are electing the corps of student officers for next year. I wonder if you realize how tremendously important that staff is. I think the student body is mindful of the responsibility they are taking but from time to time from now until the end of the year, I want to remind the new officers of the great difference there is between being an individual in a large group and being the one who has to take the responsibility, make the decisions, and carry on the work. I should like to set a pattern for the new officers. One of the best patterns I could put before their eyes is the splendid way the work has gone on during this year which is rapidly coming to a close. The publications have been well handled, and so far as I know, student finances and other enterprises have been well handled. I feel that we are making progress. At some later time I want to formally greet these new officers and pledge them the most earnest sort of cooperation for the year's work. * * * * Is there any connection between the number of opportunities for enjoyment and real pleasure in Auburn and the number of unexcused absences from classes? I do not mind fine sportsmanlike play but I do think that when a boy will cut classes to go to a pool hall or to one of these miniature golf links, it is a very serious matter. That is the situation which has existed for the past two weeks. I have taken delight in seeing things which would minister to our pleasure and happiness here in Auburn come in but if they are going to spoil our college life, I shall begin to question whether they ought to come.. The whole problem is one of common sense. Play the golf links after 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon but not during the morning hours or any class hours. There is plenty of time for pleasure if you will put even a fair amount of time on your college work. :Jc * * * I would also say that I am checking up on fellows who are constantly taking weekend trips out of town. My impression is that these students are hurting themselves. I can't help but believe that the fellow that gets in here at 4:00 o'clock Monday morning is unfitted for class work during Monday. I do not criticise if a man can make a trip home or elsewhere between classes and get back at a time which will not interfere with college duties, but I do have a strong impression that the persistent out-of-town traveler cannot do full credit to his work. Don't forget that your record counts. Numerous questionnaires come to my desk. In fact we receive one almost daily about some student or other person who has been connected with the institution who is. seeking to get a job somewhere else. They ask such questions as these: What is his character? What was his ability? What was his general record? Is he honest? Why did he leave your employ? Did he use intoxicants? Was he dependable? Would he be a desirable employee? Now ask yourselves: What about the student who gambles? What about the student who cuts classes? What about the student who is not regular and conscientious in his attendance upon college duties? What about the student who is not dependable because he does not attend college duties? What about the student who drinks? What can I say or any member of the faculty say when a company asks us these questions? The great thing in college life, just as in everyday life, is to have a record that is clean, a character above reproach, and a reputation of attending promptly and religiously to the tasks that are set before you. If you will form the habit of doing these things in college, you will be able to do the same things when you get out of college. It is worth thinking about. ¥ AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « AT IT AGAIN! Absent-minded professors are a reality. The ministry of education of Bucharest mistook a book named "Secrets of the Harem" for a Greek grammar and distributed thousand copies of the books. However, the alert professors did not stop there for one of them passed them out to the students. The mistake was not discovered until the pupils were found reading them during their recess periods in preference to playing. Very like the Prof that quizzed his nails and cut his classes. The Interfraternity struggle last night showed that there should be another effort made by the fraternities to get some dancers in them. Seems to us that a girl had rather walk home than go to an Auburn dance—as far as her dogs are concerned. * * * * * * * * * By the way, who was that girl who thought she was on a Paris; stage almost all the time? She was either innocent or experienced. * * * * * * * * * * Maybe we weren't glad of our home when we learned how Chicago was swimming around in about twenty inches of slush left from the record snowfall of the last week of March. One dollar per hour snow shovelers come mighty high when a city has been mourning for a year that she was financially defunct. The snow didn't turn to Hale. * * * * * * * * * We understand that "Smiling Bob" Willingham went through a series of riotous and hilarious adventures while sojourning in the Magic City. He declines to discuss any excepting one. Which is that, Bob? He is raving about a good "air-minded" story on "cochlebur." * * * ' * * * * * * They must have fine whiskey down in the South Sea Islands where a bottle of whiskey and a wife cost a dollar. t . * ' * * * * * * * * If the interest taken in the miniature golf course means anything, then Auburn should have a flock of fairway trotters before many more moons have passed. When the students quit making classes to play golf, it must be getting important. * * * * * * * * * Rand Junior McFerrin is having a hard time trying to keep the fire department in order these days. Besides doing all the freshman chores he has to be on the alert all the time. Almost anytime now we are expecting to hear of Fire Chief Hood having his shoes shined by the good-natured Mr. Mac. * * * * * * * * * She wasn't a bank teller's daughter, but she was used to money just the same. * * * * * * * * * April 7th, 1930 To whom it may concern: It is rumored that the dashing Mr. Suffich has joined the ranks of the "Emmisaries of Good-Will" from A. P. I. to W. C. A. Evidently a lasting impression was made, for the day he returned a message came via. Western Union, followed by a special delivery the next day. Neal will not divulge the contents of either message; but—the telegram was sent "collect" and the special "happened" to arrive on April 1st. 1111 Come on Neal, tell us about it! ! ! ! * * * * * * * * * Since the elections last week, we have been viewing many happy faces among the students. But those who lost out in the race don't realize exactly how lucky they are. If they but knew half of it, they could easily be a contortionist long enough to pat themselves on the back. * * * * * * * * * This big ruckus between the* wets and drys is not so very different after all. The wets crave the bottle, while the drys are seeking a battle. Well, they both seem to be getting what they want at this time without carrying it to a vote in the country. * * * * * * * * * He was no highway engineer, but he certainly knew her curves. * WITH OTHER COLLEGES * HIGHER EDUCATION Now the University of North Carolina has taken another step towards higher education. This time patent coat hooks have been installed in the library. These hooks make it impossible for anyone except the owner of the coat to remove it. As the coat is hung up, it is automatically locked and a small key is pressed in the slot. Now if some Mercerian will only invent a similar device for textbooks we can rate too. But we don't have any coats. * * * * Furman Hornet:—We can well believe that the Southland is seriously impoverished. Not only have garters passed into the class of unnecessary luxuries so far as Furman is concerned, but it has become quite customary to see a group of what is known generally as the "best dressed social stratum of America" parading about with knickers—probably without buckles which financial embarrassment kept from being replaced—hanging perilously near the southern-most anatomical extremities of the said personages. We would like to suggest that the Greenville Community Chest list these poverty-stricken students as worthy objects of charity and bestow upon them sufficient funds for putting their garments in respectable condition. (That's very thoughtful). * * * * HELL BROKE LOOSE Man is by nature a social being and is endowed with a certain gregarious instinct, as is evidenced by the various social organizations and entertainments that are on our every side, but there are times when that gregarious instinct assumes the form of mob spirit and those individuals involved lose the major portion of their sense of reason and commit acts that they would not think of doing if they were in their normal state of mind. (How's that?). Two nights ago after the freshmen had hilariously tossed their green caps into the fire they had lighted on stadium field, they conceived the idea that they were invincible and started out to free freshmen which they assumed were locked in the various fraternity houses. They congregated in front of several fraternities, demanding that the spohomores in" them come out and give fight. In two or three instances, daring and reckless members of the group attempted to enter the chapter house, but fortunately were not supported by other members of the mob. Thwarted in their attempt to beat up the sophomores, they then resorted to the mutilation and destruction of property. Not satisfied with leaving a wagon and other articles in the lawn of a certain sorority, they proceeded to tear one of the pillars from under the porch roof and inflict other damage to the porch floor, etc.— Purdue Exponent. Our little kittens are quite tame, aren't they? That's nice. * * * * WHICH IS GREATEST HANDICAP? Students in Purdue University that obtained their prep education in high schools with more than 200 enrollment and with a school term of nine months or longer have a considerably greater chance of successfully completing their undergraduate work in the University than those that came from smaller high schools with less than nine months in the school term, according to Dr. H. H. Remmers and Mr. J. M. S^alnaker in their bulletin, "What kind of High Schools Contribute to College Failures," which will be off the press in a few days. The report, however, showed that probation in the University had no definite corrolation with either the size or the length of term in the high school attended by the student before entering the University. Rumor has it that there will be an election in the Probation Club here at Auburn, to select leaders in this great organization. * * * * AH, FOOTPRINTS Editor:— We understand that it is a common practice for college publications to exchange papers with one another. A very commendable practice it is, but why should it be necessary to be so discriminating? Certainly the fact that a neighboring college in Montgomery is strictly a girl's school should be no reason for graciously declining to make exchanges with them when a goodly portion of our own student body consists of that fairer or weaker sex. Perhaps our exchange manager does not consider the esteem of a sister college as a very valuable asset, but we believe that if he could have seen the number of Plainsman readers who littered up the campus of W. C. A. this past Saturady night that he would agree that Auburn is very much interested in their affairs! Yours, Merely an inquisitive reader. Constructive criticism is welcomed by the Plainsman Staff at all times; destructive is not. But can the above even be classified as criticism? We would suggest that the author wake up and investigate a few things. Talking about litering up the campus at W. C. A. we didn't notice the author denying his helping; or was it a her?

THE REIGN of old King Politics came to a close this week with the final elections of the various class officers. A number have been elated and experienced a huge reaction in the field of pride by the results, while others are wearing faces that depict a disappointed^ empty, lonely and left out feeling. Well, the awful sinking feeling will soon die out but the vanity food will terminate only with the close of the office. There have been many schemes set up to do away with the unfairness of the wrong kind of politics and much has been accomplished in this respect; still there are a number of wrinkles that need ironing out. There will always be the element of politics in such a democratic atmosphere as exist at Auburn but the politics should at all times be as fine as the democracy which makes it possible. * * * * THE SENIORS are back from their inspection trip with a wonderful inertia for work. A great deal of interest was seen and an over large quantity of excellent material was gathered for bull sessions. The enjoyable week, with its new experiences, has to be lived over with those who were so unfortunate as to have missd it. From all accounts the trip was a huge success and an interesting and pleasing deviation from class room routine. * * * * IF SOMEONE doesn't hang some crepe over that big round lantern hanging in the sky and do something about all of this pretty weather, there is going to be very little studying done. The boys and girls are beginning to wax sentimental under the influence of the various beauties of spring and under the call of old Mother Nature. * * * * DR. KNAPP has been kind enough to postpone our final dances until after the senior examinations, a kind move for which I am deeply grateful. With an array of examinations facing me, and with the outcome depending on whether or not I carry off the sheepskin, I am afraid I wouldn't have much spirit of the dance. On top of that it will be much more convenient for those graduating that wish to have their girls down for both the dances and graduation. * * * * WELL, WE finally have our new Coach. May he make possible the realization of the many football dreams the students and alumni have had for this "grand old school." I hope that the student body will enter behind our new Coach with a spirit of optimism and a belief that he will gloriously guide Auburn's football out of the swamps of defeat and despair. An attitude of disbelief will not create very much spirit and unity of pull. One man can not make a football team, but the right man at the right hour with the right student body can. The hour is certainly right and we have the right man. Now it is up to the student body to play their part of the game. BRISBANE IMAGINES THE UNIMAGINABLE Philosopher Arthur Brisbane for a good many years has been fond of saying every now and then, as he did say Sunday: "What men can imagine, they can do." Many visualize themselves as wealthy, but few are wealthy—few ever will be. Men may imagine themselves care-proof and beyond anxiety; but they never attain thef happy state for long, if ever. A man may imagine himself floating in the air, but he cannot float in the air. A man may imagine himself growing a new set of teeth, but if he needs a new set he will have to hire a dentist to make it. A man may imagine himself emperor of the United States, but we shall continue for yet a little while to have Presidents, no matter how vividly a man may imagine himself emperor. Imagination is a free lance. It is not bound by the rules of logic and reason. Whenever reason becomes good enough to keep pace with fancy then may we say that "what men imagine they can do." —Montgomery Advertiser. Taken From POETS, PAINTERS, PUDDINGS Puddings should be Full of currants, for me: Boiled in a pail, Tied in the tail Of an old bleached shirt: So hot that they hurt, So huge that they last From the dim, distant past Until the crack o' doom Lift the roof off the room. • —Richard Hughes.

Joe Burt grabbing flies in all directions and hitting within the "select circle", Ralph Jordan, fourth among Southern Conference hardwood performers in scoring last season^and captain-elect of Auburn's 1931 hardwood five, has been changed from a leading contender for an outfield berth on Auburn's 1930 baseball team to a pitcher with a bright future. Jordan is a southpaw deluxe.as he does all of his many athletic chores from the portside. He played with the yearlings at "first and in the outer gardens last year, but decided to cast his lot this season only with the candidates'for the pasture positions. Because he is well fortified with fly chasers, Coach Sheridan decided to try Jordan in the box. He lacks experience but is improving fast under Coach Sheridan, who is a former (Continued on page •) Wynne is Great Coach frank Wallace, of the New York Daily Mirror, Praises New Coach to Macon Paper EDITOR'S NOTErTbe follow-ing article on Chet Wynne, Auburn's new football coach, was written for Thel Telegraph by Frank Wallace, of the New York Daily Mirror, who is here with the Brooklyn baseball club. ' Mr. Wallace, who is a Notre Dame man, is very familiar with Wynne and Knute Rockne's coaching methods, and he was requested -by The Telegraph to give some first hand information on the new Auburn coach for the benefit of football fans in this-locality. In Chet Wynne, Auburn is getting not only a football coach who fol-lowed a fine playing career with an impressive coaching record, but one of those rare personalities who bubble with the sparkling wine of life. Chet Wynne is going to be popular down here if he never wins a football game—and that is, why he will win many; for personality is the margin of success for any football coach. Not that Chetter, as we know him at Notre Dame, is one of those high-powered prof essionals who overpower you with dynamic orbs, vigorous handshakes, facial contortions and other tricks picked up from a correspondence course on how to be successful. ' i Just the opposite; Chet is one of those people who has it and keeps it buried. Physically he is handsome; in- college, with the complexion of a Kansas farmer boy, he was a collar-ad type. Regular, features, clear eyes, a ready smile and a voice and manner which will fit into your charming South, as it seems to me, as a( 20-foot putt sinks into the soul. Pleasing Personality. You're going to like him at once; then he'lkgrow on you. Superficially he'll impress yqu as a gentle sort of a thoroughbred; lateujyou'll discqver that underneath he loves the rough stuff; eats it up. In college the girls became excited about the handsome, charming athlete, as naturally they would; but Chet didn't give them much of a break; not because he didn't want to; he scurried away like a frightened colt. Very probably he has been tamed by now; for the sake of the Georgia peaches, let's hope notV They tell me Auburn needs an organizer. I'm not familiar with Wynne's coaching methods; but his record as a coach seems to follow his career as a player so closely that he will probably come through brilliantly. Wynne is a chap who improves. At Notre Dame he played less than a full game as a varsity man in his sophomore year; in his junior year he filled in acceptably, playing between the immortal George Gipp and the great Johnny Mohardt. As a senior Wynne was a sensation— and he ranks with Elmer Lay-den and Paul Castner as the greatest fullbacks Rockne ever developed. Good on Defense Wynne was not a punter or passer— with Gipp and Mohardt around he wasn't needed in those capacities; but as a line plunger, as receiver and a defensive fullback, Chet Wynne was sweeter back of that line than-either Layden or Castner. He is steeped in Rockne/football; played on what I consider the greatest team Rockne ever developed and was a member of a backfield—Gipp, Mohardt, Brandy and Wynne— which if it had played three years together as did the Four Horsemen, would have been greater, in my estimation, than that famous quartet. Wynne was coached by Rockne when Rock had all his fire; he has kept close to the master coach since then and has picked up all of the sagacity which Rockne developed during his later years. Chet was a high hurdler and track captain—one of the greatest hurdlers in the country in his last two years. If memory is correct he narrowly missed being elected football captain. As a Baptist he was considered the most popular man at Notre Dame, an overwhelmingly Catholic school. Wynne vs. Mehre The alumni will like Wynne; and what is more important, his boys will like him;~«ind-they'll fight for him— and the South can look forward to some hot games when Chet Wynne's team meets that of Harry Mehre or of any other Notre Dame coach in the South. Auburn got a break when it got Chet Wynne. It got a man who will put well-coached teams on the field ,—a he-man and a gentleman who will represent the university favorably in any capacity it may require If Auburn gives him material he will turn out the type of team it has been wanting. Newton's Homer is Feature of Auburn Victory Over Lions By W. E. Free Big Ben Newton broke up the ball game between the Lions of Montgomery and Tigers last Monday with a home run in the tenth frame. Auburn couldn't quite get started in their first trio to the plate, scoring no runs. In the second inning the Tigers not being satisfied with Montgomery in the lead, a slugging son-test was started which did not cease until four runners had made the circuit. Duripg this inning Big Ben and Joe Burt started things off with a single apiece, Harry Lloyd fanned out; and Slick Kaley drove a double to left field scoring Newton and Burt. Kaley scored when Ike Lewis singled. Ike advanced to second on a passed ball and was driven in by Phil Hodges' single. Stewart, the initial pitcher for the Lions, held the Tigers in check during the' third and fourth innings when he was releived by McWhirter. The Tigers could not get on to Mc- Whirter's deliveries very easily and secured only three hits while he_was doing the tossing. Lefty Prim did a nice job of twirling, holding the Lions in complete check after the first canto. Lefty gave up only three hits in five innings when he was* relieved by Buck Carter. Buck did some nice pitching also, and held the Lions at bay until two easy ones were muffed by his team-mates. Captain Jim Crawford thrilled the fans in the ninth by his alertness and speed. Roddy pasted a long one which seemed to be a sure home run, but Jim was off like flash and had the coveted ball in a moment Roddy stopped at third^ In the tenth frame Red Perkins, star southpaw of the Lion's pitching sTaff, relieved McWWrter. Perkins suffered no better treatment by the Tigers,. as Captain Jim Crawford beat out a grounder and then Big Ben Newton stopped the game with his. terrific smash into right field.

Final tryouts were held early this week and with the aid of the excellent weather the past week, Coach Hutsell's men should be in excellent condition when the first gun is fired in the Gate City Saturday afternoon. The 1930 calendar calls for meets with the Strong Georgia, Tulane, and Georgia Tech outfits as well as entrance in the Southern Relays in Atlanta, the A. A. U. meet in Atlanta, and the Southern conference meet in Birmingham. A feature of the team this year is the selection of Ernest Bell, who#is the first junior ever to captain an Auburn track team. Men making the trip are as follows: Bell, capt., Burnett, alt. capt., Handy, Gray, Dollins, Jones, Huff, Chamblee, Beard, McLendon, Stewart, Roberts, Hughes, Robinson, Coleman, Teague, and O'Hara. . The 1930 schedule is as follows: April 12, Southern Relays—Atlanta. April 19, Georgia—Athens. April 26, A. A. U.—Atlanta. : May 3, Tulane—Auburn. May 10, Ga. Tech—Atlanta.

It was the first conference loss for the Tigers in three games and the second .win for Bill White's nine in the same number of conference tilts. Georgia always tried for one run, while the Plainsmen generally tried for several when men were on the hassocks. Because they were always out to shove one run across the plate instead of several, Georgia scored once in the initial frame on hits by Day and Rothstein and a beautiful sacrifice by McGaughey. Support Weakens Prim settled down after the opening stanza and held the Bull Dogs scoreless until the fourth when Joe Burt let Gorman's single go through his legs for a home run. Another run was added to their total in the fifth when Davenport caught one of Prim's slants and sent it sailing far into left field for a triple, scoring Smith, who had singled, ahead of him. Only some fast fielding by Hodges kept Davenport from getting a homer. . The final counter for the Red and Black nine came in the ninth. Catfish Smith be$t out an infield hit, advancing to third on two fielders' choice, and scored when Lefty Mur-dock singled. Kaley gave the Tigers their first counter in the third when he found one of Chandler's offerings to his liking and sent it over the bank in right center for .a trip around the 0 J circuit. Totals 33 4 6 30 10 (Continued on page 6) In only two innings did more than four batters faced Chandler. Five batters got to hit against him in the sixth, but the Georgia Sophomore tightened up after Frock Pate had doubled and Phil Hodges singled, causing .Capt. Crawford to roll out via McGaughey to Rothstein, Newton to pop up to^ McGaughey and struck out Burt. A rally was started by the Bengals j-xxlngram^ 1 in the ninth when Capt. Crawford led off with a single, Chandler issued free transportation to Newton, the second one he gave during the afternoon. . Newton was thrown out at second when Burt hit to McGaughey. Lloyd whiffed for the second successive time, but "Kaley came thru" with his second- timely knock, a single to right which sent Crawford across the plate. Riley hit to short, and McGaughey tossed out Kaley at second ending what looked like might be a winning rally. Pitchers Gain Honors The honors for the day went to the pitchers. Chandler whiffed six and walked two. Prim struck out eight and walked three, but did not have the "stuff" that he has shown on other occasions this season. Duck Riley continued his brilliant fielding around the keystone as he handled 11 chances without a symbol of an error. Capt. Harry Gorman, Catfish Smith and Bennie Rothstein carried off hitting honors for Georgia, while Ben Newton and Kaley were the big guns with the willow for the Orange and Blue nine. Gorman was only credited with one official time at bat, singling for a perfect day. The other leading hitters -hit safely twice. The two teams meet again today with Lefty Murdock and Gorman probable starters on the mound and behind the plate for Georgia, and Carter and Kaley or Ingram-for Auburn. The game will begin at 2:30.

Prohibition Crusader May Run For Sheriff Pampa, Tex.—-(IP)—The panhandle's own Carrie Nation, in jail on a liquor charge, was put forward recently as a candidate for sheriff. Five hundred residents of Lal^eton bespoke their approval of the temperance activities of Miss Beulah Allred, the crusader, by sending two representatives to her cell with the request to run. Miss Allred, who since being arrested when she paraded the city streets waving a bottle of liquor, has set up temporary W. C. U. headquarters in her jail cell, refused to comment on -the request. Every woman thinks she could make her favorite actor happy.

YALE STUDENTS INSPECT WORLD'S LARGEST AIRSHIP Akron, O.—-(IP)—Details of the ZRS4, world's largest dirigible airship, under construction for the Unit ed States Navy at the Goodyear Zeppelin Corp. hanger at the Akron Municipal Airport, were explained to 80 Yale University engineering students here recently. As the students, who came here in a special train from Pittsburg, inspected the 133-foot master ring girder of the new ship, which recently was raised into an upright position in the hanger, Commander Zeno Wicks explained construction details of the aerial drednaught, comparing it with the former Naval ship, Shenandoah; the present Navy ship, Los Angeles, and the German ship, Graf Zeppelin, all of which it eclipses in size and efficiency. Before coming here the Yale party, on a two weeks' tour, was in new York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. School Girl Has Too Vivid Imagination Denver—(IP)—A school girl's conception of George Washington in a twentieth century atmosphere so startled officials of a private school here that she was placed under suspension for a week. With other members of her class she was told to write what would hap pen if the father of this country should visit us today. "I dressed myself as I thought a girl of my age would dress in those demure times," wrote the thirteen-year- old girl, whose father is a well-known short story writer. "I went down to Mount Vernon and asked Washington to take a walk with me. We started along the road to Alexandria. "He did not seem to notice the marvelous inventions that were everywhere in view. An airplane passing over our head caused only- moderate curiosity in him. "A swiftly traveling automobile elicted little more than a passing remark. "We continued our stroll until we were nearly half way to Alexandria Coming down the road was a flapper, with short skirts and -bobbed hair, idly puffing a cigarette. "And that's where I lost George." And that's why she didn't attend classes for a week. MINERVA IS NAME TO BE SUGGESTED FOR NEW PLANET No Cognomen Given Yet To Celestial Body Discovered By Arizona Scientists J Expedition Discovers 4000-Yr.-Old Mummy Philadelphia—(IP)—The University of Pennsylvania Museum expedition at Meydum, Egypt, has uncovered a mummy, which with its Odecora-tions of amulets and jewelry lay undisturbed for 4,000 years, it has been announced by museum officials here. Alan Bowe, field director, informed the officials, they said, that the mummy was of a woman nemed Sat-Her-em- Hat, who lived about 2,000 B. C. Around the neck of this woman," the report stated, " was hung a semicircular pendant formed by several concentric rows of faience cylinder beads, alternately green and black. In addition to this a string of large graded beads polished amethyst was found as well as a string of exquisite miniature amulets cut in carnelian, jasper and lapis lazuli. "The semi-circular end pieces of the pendant are of blueish-green faience, shaped and painted on the inner corner to represent hawks' heads. A aca-rab found in the coffin bore the proper name "Her-em-Hat, the elder,' evidently a relative of the deceased.". Rowe said the expedition was continuing its search for a burial chamber in the mastabah lying near the great pyramid of Heneferu, who lived about 2900 B. C. Flagstaff, Ariz.—(IP)—Although the name Minerva is believed to be the most likely choice of scientists as a cognomen for the new planet recently discovered by observers at the Lowell Observatory here, as yet no name has been selected. Many names have been suggested, according to Captain Charles "E. Freeman, superintendent of the Naval Observatory at Washington, which recently succeeded in photographing the newly discovered celestial body. He says: "The Naval Observatory is receiving numerous suggestions as to names for the planet, most of them accompanied by a statement of the reasons for the choice. One of the first formal suggestions was the name Erebus, as indicative of the darkness of the outer space which has been withholding the planet from human ken all these many centuries. "By far the ""best suggestion has been the name Minerva. Not only does the name typify the human wisdom that enabled Professor Lowell to reason out the planet's probable position long before its discovery, but the name is associated with handicraft. And it was with a photographic plate in the hands of an observatory assistant that the planet was discovered. "Furthermore, the announcement was made in March which is the month of the ancient annual feast of Minerva. "There is another reason that springs somewhat from coincidence. The 'di consentes' of the Romans, forming a group of their principle gods, were officially ordained or established in 217 B. C. In this dode-cade, gods and goddesses were linked in pairs. Paired with Minerva was Neptune, as together, in a manner, we find them in our planetary family. "Minerva appears to be the only neighbor deity of the Graceco-Ro-man mythology not employed as a name of an important celestial body. Leda, a name suggested for the Flag is Hauled Down By Striking Students Striking students at the Lincoln Memorial University, at Harrogate, Tennessee, hauled down the United States Flag that flew over the campus Thursday. "The Flag is a symbol of justice and we don't want it to float over the campus of a university where those qualities have ceased to exist." This was the declaration of the chairman of the student body and of the student strike committee. The flag was taken down and carried • to the office of Acting- President J. H. S. Morrison. planet, because of its discovery in the constellation of Castor and Pollux, of whom Leda was the legendary mother, is already assigned to an anteroid. Atlas is rather tied up to the earth for no very sound reason. "Kronus or Cronus is identical with Saturn. Pluto is the prototype of Satan in many minds and drops out for that reason perhaps." Under astronomical custom the privilege of naming the new planet will rest with the group of scientists whose patient observations resulted in its discovery. The discovery of Neptune in 1846 led to an attempt to violate this custom by naming it Laverrier, after a French savant who had predicted its discovery, but the suggestion was so unfavoi-ably received outside of France, its sponsors withdrew it and suggested instead Neptune. At the suggestion of Dominique Jean Arago, of France, Laverrier began to study the mystery. Other astronomers were also working on the puzzle, among them the Englishman John Couch Adams. On Oct. 21, 1845, he icommunicated to the Royal astronomer computations of the mass and position in the heavens of a planet which would account for the wanderings of Uranus. His achievement was ignored at the time, however. Meanwhile, Laverrier, working independently reached similar conclusions. In 1846 he presented before the French Academy three papers proving that only an exterior body could produce the irregularities of Uranus, and describing its orbit. This resulted in the acceptance of the discovery of Neptune. Annual Week Alabama Fanners Be Held Here, July 28-August 2 Farm People Will Get Information About Work Done At Ag School, Experiment Station, and Extension Service The six days beginning July 28 and ending August 2 have been set aside as the period for the 1930 farmer's week exercises at Auburn. Announcement of this was made by President Bradford Knapp, with the statement that the program for the occasion will be arranged for farm women as well as for men. During these six days farm people of the State will get first hand information about the work being done at their State College of Agriculture, their State Experiment Station, and also the Extension Service. Lectures will be given and demonstrations conducted along practical lines so that those who attend will get information of economic importance to them. Along with lectures and demonstrations those in attendance will be University Of Paris Falls Heir to Land Paris, France—(IP)—The University of Paris has fallen heir to the splendid chateau and grounds in the town of Richelieu, belonging to the Duke de Richelieu, descendant of France's famous cardinal, and well known in America. In making the gift the Duke expressed the wish that the University use the home for retired professors •and scientists, and also use the place to entertain foreign guests of the University. The chateau was built by Cardinal Richelieu on the site of his birthplace, and was only partially destroyed during the French Revolution. It is surrounded by a beautiful park of more than a thousand acres, which is included in the gift. STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO GIVE BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS Richwood, W. Va— ( I J )— New River State College students were called upon to provide blood transfusions when three men were hurt as a steel girder fell on them from a railway bridge near here. Three other men were killed by the girder. conducted on sight-seeing trips thru the buildings and over the grounds. In this way they will see the experimental work in progress. In addition to the usual exercises the annual convention of the Alabama Farm Bureau Federation will be held at Auburn, July 31-August 1. By this arrangement Farm Bureau delegates and representatives may spend the first three days of the week in the farmers' week exercises which will be climaxed with the Farm Burau convention. A special program will be arranged for farm women, many of whom are expected to attend. As in former years, the Alabama Council of Home Demonstration Women will hold their annual convention in conjunction with the State Farm Bureau convention. This organization of women is composed of active county organizations in more than half of the counties of the State. In addition to the farm people themselves, the county agents and home demonstration agents of the State will be present. They will take part in the meetings and also hold separate sessions for the discussion of problems pertaining to Extension work. President Knapp said that the aim is to make this bigger and better than any other farmers' week exercises yet held at Auburn. That of 1929 established a new high record and the aim is to build and improve from year to year, he said. Americans Are Too Fat, Says Physician Princeton, N. J.—(IP)—There are 200,000,000 pounds of excess fat on Americans is the belief of Dr. Eugene Lyman Fiske, medical director of the Life Extension Institute. Dr. Fiske says so in an article in a current issue of the Daily Prince-tonian. Assuming the population of the United States to be 120,000,000, this means that there are 1 and three-quarters pounds too much for every American. ... at the plate it ...in a cigarette its JASTE/ ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER than words; what you want to know about a cigarette is how it tastes.

PAGE SIX THE PLAINSMAN SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930 Value Of Vitamins B and G Demonstrated Chicago —(IP)— Why appetites leave home was revealed to the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, at its annual meeting at the University of Chicago here. Vitamin B was revealed as the reason for appetite. It seems that wherever Vitamin B goes, appetite goes trailing along. It was shown that when the vitamin fails to appear at the table, appetite likewise fails to show up. Lack of one of the two vitamins, B or G, was believed responsible for inducing anorexia, as loss of appetite is properly known, when the detective work was begun, Professor George R. Cowgill, of Yale University, explained to the biologists who spent a good week here exploring life. The discovery was made through experiments with dogs which first were fed a diet lacking Vitamin B, known to have anti-neuritic effect, and then food minus Vitamin G, valued as an 'anti-pellagra substance. Denied Vitamin B, the dogs lost all interest in life and food, paid no attention to prowling cats, fell off in weight, and developed neurotic symptoms. All of those symptoms were put to flight, however, when the vitamin was furnished them. Cats again became their eternal quarry as the appetite stimulating vitamin was placed in their food, which no longer went untouched. Vitamin G was eliminated as a causative factor when it failed either to drive away appetite or bring it back. Vitamin B travels in the company of unrefined grains such as whole wheat, unpolished rice and other crude cereals. When these grains are dressed up and husked of their rough exteriors, B refuses further association with them. Both B and G vitamins are found in fresh fruits and vegetables. A popular belief went by the boards when Dr. James E. Lebensohn of Northwestern University showed that "train sickness" is not caused by shifting scenery, but by disturbance of the labyrinth of the passengers ears due to the jolting of the cars. In laboratory tests he found a moving panorama failed to induce the sensation of nausea attending the sickness, which, however, was brought PRESIDENT KNAPP PREDICTS WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM AT AUBURN IN THREE YEARS (Continued from page 1) operating on the same budget of a few years ago the faculty has been largely increased and many more students are receiving instruction there now than were enrolled a few years ago. The spirit of cooperation is not confined to the faculty and student body but is also exemplified by the people of the town, the speaker stated. Speaking of the athletic situation Dr. Knapp stated that he felt that the selection of Chet Wynne as football coach, has apparently solved one of the greatest problems so far as the football troubles are concerned. He assured the alumni that the new coach has already been given a warm reception by the prospective pig skin toters and the assistant coaches. "Don't expect a winning team this year," Dr. Knapp warned, "but give Chet two or three years and he will turn out a winning team at Auburn. We must not let him fail," he concluded in a strong appeal for the cooperation of the alumni. After concluding his remarks as to the athletic situation, Dr. Knapp pointed out some of the things needed at Auburn. Among them are included a sewerage system; new hotel; new school building in the town and the completion of the buildings now under way. The Ross building was praised for its equipment and will be dedicated along with other buildings during the commencement exercises this year. Skull of Mastodon ,' Found in California Berkeley, Calif.—(IP)—The university of California now has in its possession apparent proof that huge mastodons roved California during the Pliocene age, a million years before the glacial period. The proof is the skull of a mastodon in a rare state of preservation, which has been given to the University by engineers who found the prehistoric relic while drilling for oil at Kettleman Hills, near Coalinga. According to Professor W. D. Mat-hew, chairman of the Paleontology department of the university, the skull was of a neo-mastodon. about by electrical stimulation and disturbances of the fluid in the semicir- ' cular canals of the ears.

It is written and published by the students of the engineering courses in Auburn and is issued monthly by a board of control elected by the combined technical societies on the campus. The purpose and aims of the magazine are to maintain a close contact between the various engineering societies and to acquaint the students of engineering with the achievement^ and future possibilities of their professions. AUBURN REPRESENTATIVES ATTEND EDUCATION MEET (Continued from page 1) Alternate delegates were Prof. L. N. Duncan, Miss Zoe Dobbs, Prof. Paul Irvine, Prof. Charles Hixon, and Prof. Jesse Matthew Robinson. The college has 117 members in the association, this being considerably larger than any other year. Nobody is so irritating to some men as the fellow who wears evening clothes on the slightest provocation. It's embarrassing to admit you've never been offered money for your picture and testimonial.

Nearly 900 additions of Haggadoth, from the invention of the printing press to the present time, will be on view during April, the month marking the fifth anniversary of the opening of the university here. The oldest copy of the collection is the Haggadoth of Mantova printed in 1560 on wooden blocks with illustrations in the classical style of the Italian Rennaissance. Another is the Haggadoth of Venice, printed in 1601, and containing illustrations showing the customs of the Jews in Italy. Among the other rare manuscrupts and autographs in the Schwadron collection in the library is the original article on "Theory of Relativity," donated by Prof. Albert Einstein. JUNIOR ARCHITECTS MAKE SMALL HOUSES (Continued from page 1) The houses are of Colonial type and made of red brick with white stone for decorative purposes. The bricks, are designated as much by the application of different colors on the cardboard walls of the buildings. The grounds and surroundings of the community buildings are treated in different ways. Hedges, trees, flagstone walks, pools, and benches and park equipment are placed about the building to complete the scheme. There are six models in the exhibition and consist of the work of twelve students, who are: V. O. Cal-laham and W. C. Breithaupt; H. W. Deering and E. C. Smith; E. H. Gray and L. A. Wingo; W. J. Bartoldus and E. R. Enslen; H. W. Ellis and J. R. Rutland; and E. L. Bothwell and T. H. Glanton. Track Meet Will Be Held At Night The nationally famous West Coast Relays, to be held in the Fresno State College Stadium, California, on April 26 in connection with the Raisin Day celebration, is to be a night event this year. This will permit the automobile races to be held that afternoon, and will make the track meet the first major one ever held at night. A battery of floodlights that will give an intensity of five foot-candles over the entire area is being installed at the stadium and in the fall the projectors will be adjusted so that an intensity of eight foot-candles will be projected on the football field alone for night games in that major sport. The lighting installation includes sixty General Electric projectors with 1000-watt incandescent lamps, mounted in batteries of ten atop six 90-foot steel towers. Power is supplied by an underground cable system. Each lamp will be individually fused and provided with a disconnect device at the top of the tower. A master switch with fuses will be provided to control the whole system. New York—(IP)—New York University men here are taking active flights in gliders. FOR SALE:—Household Furniture.
