Weidemeyer's Orchestra, the most
highly acclaimed musical aggregation
that has ever appeared in Auburn,
will play for the Senior Prom, May
16, 17, and 18 it was announced by
the Auburn Social Committee today.
Weidemeyer and his "Personality
Plus OTus Orchestra" will come di­rect
from Broadway to play for the
University of Georgia Final Dances,
whence" they will journey to Auburn
to make the year's last set of dances
the same huge success that they were
in 1928, at which time the same or­chestra
furnished the music. From
Auburn Weidemeyer will go to Tus­caloosa
to play for the University of
Alabama dances.
Weidemeyer's orchestra consists of
eleven melody artists, all of whom
contribute to the dances by their ori­ginality
in specialty numbers. The
players wear different costumes at
each of the dances. The orchestra in­cludes
one premier soloist and a
matchless trio. Always several ori­ginal,
novelty college numbers are
offered. Weidemeyer made the
statement last year, at the conclu­sion
of the dances, that Auburn was
his favorite school, and he proved the
truth of his statement. The orches­tra
gave Auburn yells, played "Glory,
Glory, Dear Old Auburn", and on
rising to play "Good-bye Auburn",
received a thunderous applause. There
is no doubt but that everyone who
attended the Finals last year will
testify to the effect that Weidemeyer
is second to none. As Pete Cren­shaw,
chairman of the Social Com­mittee,
said when announcing the
name of the orchestra, "It is Weide­meyer;
nuf sed."
A call for bids on decorations of
the gymnasium for the dances has
been issued by the committee, and
it is expected that in a very short
while definite announcement of the
awarding of the bid wil be made.
Also, according to the Social Com­mittee,
dates for the mailing of bids
to the dances will be announced in
the Sunday issue of the Plainsman.
The annual Ag Club banquet,
which is probably the foremost event
on the Ag Club calendar will be held
next Saturday evening in Smith Hall,
beginning at 8 o'clock. Dr. D. W.
Daniel of Clemson College, and a
former Auburn professor in agricul­ture,
will be the principal speaker of
the evening. Other prominent men,
including Dr. Bradford Knapp, Dean
M. J. Funchess, Director L. N. Dun­can
of the Extension Department, P.
0. Davis, and other outstanding ag­ricultural
men will contribute to the
attractiveness of the evening with
[speeches.
The entire day Saturday has been
designated as Ag Day, sponsored by
the Ag Club and being put on for
the first time this season. This fea­ture
is expected to add greatly to
the interest of the occasion in draw­ing
many agricultural alumni back
to the campus for a general get-to­gether
in the furtherance of agricul­tural
interests. A baseball game be­tween
members of the Ag Club and
members of the Ag faculty has been
scheduled for the afternoon.
A major event of the evening, dur­ing
the banquet, will be the awarding
of the Gamma Delta loving cup to
the best all-round Junior in agricul­ture.
This individual will be elected
by Gamma Delta members in con­junction
with the Ag faculty, the
election to take place Friday night.
Other awards will be the Ag Club di­plomas
to senior mmebers of the Ag
Club.

Delta Sigma Phi Moves
To New Fraternity Row
New Home Is First Completed
Present Project
Of
The Delta Sigma Phi fraternity
moved into its new house on Frater­nity
Row last Thursday, April 18.
Their house, facing on College Street,
is the first on the new Fraternity Row
to be completed; it is a striking two-story
brick structure, modern in every
respect, and is now accomodating
thirty-two men. The building is at­tractively
furnished and decorated
throughout.
On the first floor, there is a large
reception room, which opens on the
north into a library, and on the south
into a den. A large dining room oc­cupies
the extreme south end of the
house; a guest room and a house
mother's room, both with private
baths, occupy the north end. On the
first floor in the rear, there are three
study rooms with sleeping quarters,
accommodating two men each.
Upstairs, in the front of the house,
are nine study rooms; at each end of
this floor there is a large dormitory
sleeping porch accomodating the men
whose study rooms do not have sleep­ing
quarters. There are also four
study rooms, upstairs, with sleeping
quarters for two men, and two large
bathrooms with showers.
Although there are now only thir­ty-
two men in the house, forty-three
can be occomodated.

Subway Construction
"Boring Of Cascade Tunnel"
Presented To Engineers
Also
The engineering students were very
fortunate in having two one-reel pic­tures
of technical interest presented
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings in
the Tiger Theatre.
One of the films, "Building New
York's Newest Subway," showed the
construction of a new subway under
the streets of New York; the project,
which will cost $507,000,000, is being
carried on under difficult conditions,
as traffic conditions must remain
normal while excavations and con­structions
are being made. Professor
Callan, who saw the construction of
the subway in a recent trip to New
York, made a short introductory talk
on the present work.
The other film, "Driving the Cas­cade
Tunnel," was about a tunnel
which was driven through the Cascade
Mountains in the State of Washing­ton.
This was a very difficult task;
the construction required three
years. It is 7.79 miles long, the long­est
- railroad tunnel in the Western
Hemisphere.
These pictures were presented by
the courtesy of the E. I. du Pont de
Nemours and Company, Incorporated,
of Wilmington, Delaware.

INTER-SOCIETY
DEBATES HELD
Blankenship and Upchurch To Meet
Overton and Pike
The Websterian and Wilsonian lit­erary
societies were victorious in two
inter-society debates which were held
on Tuesday night; both of the winning
teams had the affirmative side of the
question, which was: "Resolved: That
the present system of granting qual­ity
points as in effect at this institu­tion
should be amended to prohibit
their bestowal for any activity for
which college credit is not given."
A. V. Blankenship and R. G. Up-church,
of the Websterian literary
society, triumphed over M. V. Hall-man
and J. W. Letson, of the Evans;
the winners well earned the decision,
bringing out many good points for
the affirmative side.
Hugh Overton and J. W. Pyke, of
the Wilsonian society, defeated Roy
N. Sellers and W. C. Weldon, of the
Wirt literary society.
The two winning societies will meet
in a debate on the same question on
May 9; the topic is one of importance
to students, and should command
quite a bit of interest.
Prof. C. H. Bedingfield
Goes To New Orleans
Is To Represent Federal Land Bank
As Field Representative
On May 1 Prof. C. H. Bedenfield,
itenerant teacher trainer in connection
with the school of education of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, will
become a field representative of the
Federal Land Bank at New Orleans,
which will be his headquarters and to
which city he will move his family
as soon as arrangements can be made.
Mr. Bedenfield will serve as contact
and public relations, man for this bank
in the States of Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana.
Since he graduated at Auburn in
1920 he has been in vocational work.
Immediately after graduation he be­came
teacher of vocational agriculture
in the Lauderdale County High School
at Rogerville where he graduated, this
being his old home. He remained there
until 1924 when he became critic vo­cational
teacher at the Lee County
High School at Auburn. He continued
in this position until 1925 when he
became itenerant teacher trainer, in
which position he soon became very
popular with the staff at Auburn and
also with the teachers of vocational
agriculture throughout the state.
THENDARA ELECTS
HEADS NEXT YEAR
Members of Thendara, at their reg­ular
meeting Monday night, elected
the following officers for next year:
N. S. Illges, president; H. H. Milli-gan,
vice-president; Jimmie Ware,
secretary and treasurer. Thendara is
the oldest interfraternity organiza­tion
on the campus. Its membership
consists of a limited number of Juniors
and Seniors.
Distinguished College Rating
Is Again Sought By
Local Staff
Major William E. Devall, of the
coast artillery corps, and Major G. H.
Franke, of the field artillery, will in­spect
the R. 0. T. C. unit here Thurs­day,
Friday, and Saturday. Major
Devall, who is stationed at Atlanta,
graduated from West Point in 1913.
Major Franke, who is connected with
the General Staff at the headquarters
of the fourth corps area Atlanta,
graduated from the U. S. Military
Academy in 1911, and was also a dis­tinguished
graduate of the Command
and General Staff School, at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1926. Major
Franke was one of the officers who
inspected this unit last year, while this
happens to be Major Devall's first
visit here.
The general object of the inspection
is to promote the efficiency of the
R. O. T. C. by establishing uniform
standards of proficiency. The inspec­tion
will determine the degree to which
the unit has attained toward the ob­jective
set forth in the war depart­ment
program of instruction, and the
part which the individual student
plays. It is this phase of the in­spection
that has much to do in the
rating obtained by the unit. An ex­amination
is made of students, cover­ing
all theoretical and practical work
embraced in the various courses of all
classes. Attention will be given to the
classroom work as well as to the drill
and ceremony.
The inspection also covers the con­dition
of government property issued
to the institution, including adequacy
of facilities for theoretical and prac­tical
construction, and for the care of
animals and property. The inspec­tion
will also furnish general informa­tion
data relative to the R. O. T. C.
unit.
Brooder House Burns
Destroys 2,000 Chicks
Oil-Heater Thought To Be Origin Of
Latest Fire
The brooder house at the college
poultry plant, about one mile south
of town, was completely destroyed
by fire early Wednesday night; of
the 4,500 baby chicks in it at the
time approximately 2500 were saved.
The structure was covered with
ample insurance.
Call for aid at the fire department
was issued immediately, and the fire
truck was on the grounds before the
fire was well under way; however,
little aid could be given, due to the
lack of a water connection.
The brooders within the building
were oil heated, this source being the
supposed origin of the fire.
This marks the second very de­structive
fire at the poultry plant
within the past year, the former oc­curring
last spring and completely
destroying the hatchery. It was re­placed
with a substantial fire-resist­ing
building of stone structure.
"Auburn" Painted On
Top Of Toomer's Store
Designed To Aid Aviators Passing
Over "Village"
The Auburn Post of the American
Legion, taking part in blazing the
trail for aviation in Alabama, arrang­ed
for the painting of the word,
"Auburn," in twelve foot letters, and
a huge arrow pointing north, on the
roof of Toomer's Drug Store. Mem­bers
of S. A. M. E. painted the mas­sive
letters completing their work yes­terday.
Baskin and Snider
Be Guests of'Bama
To Promote A Better Spirit
Between Schools
Weemie Baskin and Euil Snider,
Auburn's world known track stars,
will leave Auburn tonight for Tusca­loosa,
where they will be the guests
of the University of Alabama "A"
club. The two cinder artists received
an invitation from the 'Bama "A"
club to run as a feature of their "A"
Day celebration and readily accepted
as they believe that their appearance
at the Capstone will foster a better
spirit betwen the two state institu­tions.
Baskin in a champion hurdler, and
only recently broke the world's rec­ord
for the eighty-yard high hurdles
on the local track. Baskin clipped
over a second off of the record but
it was unofficial as only two time­keepers
clicked him. He will race
against some picked stars in the 80
and 100-yard high hurdles while per­forming
in the Druid City on Ala­bama's
annualy "A" Day program,
Friday.
Euil Snider, member of the 1928
Olympic team, and co^holder with
Ray Bartubi of the 400-metre record
will run the 100 and 220 at Tusca­loosa.
He is a former conference
champion in both events and easily
runs the century under ten flat. In
a recent tryout on Drake Field with
only a few days practice, he nego­tiated
the 100-yard distance in 9.8
seconds. Snider will run against some
ex-Bama and freshman stars.
The invitation received by Baskin
and Snider to appear on Alabama's
"A" Day program, which will be fea­tured
by a baseball game between
the Capstone and Georgia Tech, is
just another step in bringing the two
institutions back together in athletic
activities.

Grand President Of
Phi Kappa Tau Here
Dr. I. M. Wright, Grand President
of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity was
recently in Auburn, visiting the
Alpha Lambda chapter here. He left
Tuesday evening for Atlanta to of­ficiate
at the installation this week
end of the Alpha Rho chapter of Phi
Kappa Tau at Georgia Tech. Dr.
Wright is director of education at
Muhlenberg College of AHentoVn,
Pennsylvania. The following men
from the chapter here have gone to
Atlanta to assist with the installa­tion:
R. P. Willingham, N. M. Mcln-nis,
W. H. Harris, and Professor J.
M. Robinson. Phi Kappa Tau was
founded at Miami University in 1906,
the Alpha Lambda chapter being in­stalled
in Auburn last year.
NOTICE
All fraternity panels have been re­turned
to the "lomerata by the en­graver,
and are ready for distribu­tion
to the various organizations.
They may be obtained at the Bureau
of Public Information, first floor of
the Administration Building. Stu­dents
receiving these must sign the
name of the organization with their
names.
The 1929 Glomerata will be dedi­cated
to the alumni of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. For the first
time in Auburn's history the annual
staff has departed from the usual cus­tom
of dedicating the book to some
outstanding member of the faculty or
citizen in the town of Auburn.
The dedication of the book to the
alumni was done "To create a closer
union between the former graduates
and the college, and to focus atten­tion
of the present student body on
the phenomenal achievements by mem­bers
of the alumni body," according
to a statement of T. S. Christopher
and Joe Ford, editor and business
manager, respectively, of this year's
book.
The dedicatory statement, which is
headed "The Spirit of the Past," reads
as follows: "To that spirit of prog­ress,
achievement and devoted ser­vice,
which has reached such rich de­velopment
in the lives of our alumni,
we bow our heads in silent tribute and
to them and to that spirit we rever­ently
dedicate this volume of the
Glomerata."
In the opinion of those who have
seen the advanced proofs of the 1929
Glomerata, and according to the state­ment
of the printers and engravers
who have made the book, this year's
annual will be the best in the history
of Auburn, and will rank with the
foremost college annuals in the South
this year.
The books will arrive in Auburn

Consider Carefully
Ex. Cab. Members
With the adoption of the constitution of
the Associated Undergraduate Students of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute there
arises the necessity of considering what
men are to be placed in the important of­fices
of the organization. The men filling
these positions will have very broad au­thority
over student activities. Whether
the affairs of the Ex. Cabinet are admin­istered
properly will depend entirely upon
these men. Therefore it behooves the stu­dent
body to deliberate well before placing
any man in office.
To be fitted to hold office in the new
organization a student must possess cer­tain
abilities and characteristics not to be
easily found nor lightly esteemed. He
must be capable of clear and logical
thought, and of rendering unbiased and un-opinioned
decisions. He must command the
respect of his fellow students and be cap­able
of leading them. He must be honorable
and sincere; he must be capable of placing
duty before self-interest. He must be even
tempered, well balanced, and emotionally
stable. He must be able to deny his friends
for the good of the student body. He must,
above all things, be honest, and incapable
of any subversive act.
These requirements are difficult of ful­fillment.
This very difficulty is the thing
that, more than any other, creates the
necessity for calm consideration by the stu­dent
body of those men it proposes to elect
to be the officers of the organization. Only
by setting aside all prejudices of friendship
and popularity can the student body hope
to arrive at a proper choice of officers. For
this reason the students at Auburn are
urged to take careful inventory of their
fellow students before chooosing for them­selves
their leaders in this, their very own,
student organization.
Do Your Part To Secure
Distinguished Rating
The inspecting officers are in Auburn
this week to determine whether or not^we
shall again receive distinguished rating as
a military college. For ten years A. P. I.
has enjoyed 'this rating which is a marked
distinction when one considers the number
of schools having R. O. T. C. units and the
few that can possibly receive this honor.
Only a few schools in the country are
placed on this select list.
The method of rating this year is to be
slightly different but will have no bearing
on the institution prepared for the in­spection.
Every student in college, whether
in the unit or not, must try hard to see
that nothing lessens Auburn's present
standing. To have this honor taken away
would hurt a great deal, as it would show
a laxity in the work and a decline in mili­tary
study.
To maintain the present standing, the
students must show a military aptitude and
bearing that will be significant of the train­ing
received. No one should wear a mixed
uniform. Besides being attentive to his
personal appearance, he should be able to
answer the questions of the inspecting of­ficer.
These things, if they are done, will
create a very favorable impression on the
examiners.
If the students will realize the important
role' they are to play in the inspection",
there will be no need to worry. Auburn
will continue to receive distinguished
rating. We hope that every man will have
the interest of the college enough at heart
to perform to the best of his ability that
which is expected of him, and to insist
that others do.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Engineers' Hike Should
Be An Annual Event
The hike of the Engineer unit next Sat­urday
promises to be very successful. In
the past the hike has been only mediocre,
being given one year and not the next, but
it has apparently taken root and will prob­ably
be staged annually.
The hike was first put on in the hope
that the students would get an idea of
what a soldier's life is, to be able to more
fully appreciate the work being done, and
to create a closer fellowship among them.
These objectives were reached in the past,
and there is no reason to think they will
not be in the future.
The S. A. M. E. is sponsoring the affair.
Plans have been completed for some time
by the members of this society, and they
are to be commended for the efforts they
have put forth in its behalf, and the inter­est
that has been worked up in those par­ticipating.
We believe that the students
will support such a move heartily, as it
lends a very decided touch of color to the
regular routine besides accomplishing those
things already referred to. Such things
as the hike preserve in a part the social
welfare of the college, and we feel sure
that it will wield no small influence in
its power to promote? fellowship among the
students.
The Baseball Team Must
Have Student Support
To be successful, a college athletic team
must have the support of the students.
Even a champion professional team must
have its backers if it is to win consistently,
while a college organization must rely much
more on those of the college which it rep­resents.
The baseball team has been having dif­ficulty
in getting the support of the stu­dent
body. Why this is so is not known,
for Auburn has had a championship team
for two straight years. It seems that the
students are not interested in baseball.
Occasionally a word of disgust is heard
from someone who has lost confidence in
the team because it has failed to win as
often as he desired. But why does the team
lose? One part of the answer is the number
of vacant seats in the bleachers. As long
as the students refuse to go to the games
and as long as no enthusiasm is shown in
the cheering and applauding, the players
will not be imbued with the desire to win.
They will be fighting, but without the
strong, supporting student body needed to
achieve success.
Possibly a plea to the students would
help, but we cannot understand why they
must be urged to cheer for Auburn. The
team is working for Auburn; victory cannot
be score/1 until a unified spirit and a uni­fied
effort are put forth with but one goal
in view. We expect students to help the
players as they should.
Our President Is
Honored Again
News comes from the executive office
that Dr. Knapp will make commencement
addresses at nine Alabama schools during
May and June. It is an honor and a source
of gratification to Auburn that her presi­dent
should be asked to make the most im­portant
address of the year at these schools.
Many more requests for Dr. Knapp's ser­vices
were received, but it was impossible
for him to schedule more than nine dates.
It is but a tribute to his ability and repu­tation
that these schools should select him.
It is an indication that he has already won
the respect of the state, and that he is con­sidered
one of the big men in the state.
Auburn benefits from these commence­ment
addresses. Dr. Knapp's name is link­ed
with that of Auburn, and his reputation
is reflected on the school. Our school is
put before the high school graduates in an
attractive manner; in a manner which will
unquestionably draw men to Auburn. Dr.
Knapp is not going out to solicit enroll­ment,
but he will so impress the graduates
that many of them will come here as a re­sult
of his influence.
We feel that congratulations are due to
our president on this demonstration of
the name that he has already made in Ala­bama.
The human brain is a wonderful organ.
It starts working the moment we get up in
the morning and doesn't stop until we get
to class.
If we may paraphrase Lord Tennyson,
at Auburn in the spring a young man's
fancy nervously turns to thoughts of
politics.
I cannot help ex­pressing
my delight
that .we have been
able to get "Red"
F l o y d as assistant
coach. He was a great
football player on a
team that a l w a ys
played good football
and from a school
which believed in high
class athletic sports on a clean, fine basis.
I regard Dan McGugin as one of the great
outstanding coaches in America and I think
we are fortunate to have a man whom he
is willing to recommend to come and help
us build back the winning spirit and the
winning ability here at Auburn.

There is a lot of sheer nonsense being
put out in the daily papers of this state
nbout WAPI. I may have to write an
article to the papers on this subject but
let me say this now to the student body:
There will be no propaganda in favor of
anything which would be injurious to the
people of the state of Alabama permitted
to go out over WAPI and WAPI is not go­ing
to participate in any political campaign
except on a basis of equal opportunity to
everyone. We are undertaking a difficult
task. I for one want to register my deter­mination
to make WAPI serve two inter­ests
and two interests only—one is the in­terest
of the common people of the State
of Alabama and the other is the interest of
higher education in Alabama and the only
reason I put the interest of higher educa­tion
in at all is because of my belief that
the interest of higher education will serve
the interest of the people.
* * * * *
As time goes on I am more and more
impressed with the importance of our pro­ceeding
sanely, wisely, and calmly in or­ganizing
the Undergraduate Student Asso­ciation.
I have repeatedly said to students
that without doubt there are mistakes in
the rules and regulations. We will find
those as time goes on and I for one feel
willing to trust the good sense and the fair­ness
of any group who may be elected upon
the council to help work these things out.
I count myself to be really a student when­ever
I work on student problems. I try to
think of the wise thing for the students as •
a whole and I shall be glad always to help
in the task of getting this organization
going in good shape.
" L i t t l e T h i n g s"
By Tom Bigbee
"If I only knew! Then I could eto
ahead," is a quotation opening a recent
editorial. But would we go ahead if we
knew exactly what was to happen next?
And wouldn't some of the disasters and
unlucky turns that await us slacken our
efforts and mar our advancement to an un­believable
degree? Seems to me that our
surest possible encouragement, in the long
run, is more or less a matter of uncertain­ty—
and especially concerning the pitfalls.
"Nothing in life is set," the editorial
goes on to say. As in generally accepted,
life is largely a gamble; a guess-game from
start to finish. And well it is; no plan
could be better.
"What state in Cincinnati in", one stu­dent
asked of another in the "Y" reading
room Sunday afternoon. This is no direct
stab at any one individual, but it goes to
show how prone we are to drift along with­out
grasping even the most general facts.
For instance, can you state how many
steps there are leading up to the entrance
of Langdon Hall? No! And yet how many
times you have mounted those very steps.
You might recall the number of columns
there, but I doubt even that.
Cubans like to have their pictures taken.
Havana has more than 2000 photography's
studios.
Bruce Barton says that one may expect
his work to be exciting for about twenty-five
per cent of the time, and that the stuff
he is made of will show up in the other sev­enty-
five per cent. Which, after all, must
be about right.
Even in this fast age some of the very
fastest individuals "find time to slow up
occasionally—under suitable environment
and company!
THE GEDUNK
I'm the Gedunk who confiscates the au­tomobile
when the family comes to visit me.
I spend little of my time with the family
and as quickly as possible, I park them
somewhere, fill the car with my friends
and tear off for a spin. Up and down
College Street I go with my dinky hat
pulled over my left eye, slouched upon my
neck under the steering wheel, a cigarette
drooping nonchalantly from my mouth and
with the cut-out open. If the machine hap­pens
to have eight cylinders or a collapsible
top, so much the better. Of course I know
it looks like a high school boy's idea of a
good time, but I like to do it and it makes
me appear rather rakish and man-about-townish.
H AUBURN FOOTPRINTS $
HASHED SCRAPS
There is fear in the hearts of a great many entering the Engineers' domicile.
On investigating it was found that the cause of this was the fact that at almost any
moment the world's oldest war cry might issue from the throats of the youthful
rulers who recently came in control of the Hall. Captain John A. C. is advocating
a course in reading for movie-goers. He will possibly teach it. For a time it
seemed that one of the fair ones would have a wooden leg. That would create a
sensation in this town where wooden legs are rare, even though some may seem
to possess such a thing. In fact, it seems to be a fad among the girls. Personally
we think that it's merely an excuse to not wear stockings.

THE LURE OF THE TITAN HAIR
What power is this that a red-haired Miss
Conceals in the light of her hair?
Why is it that men unerringly wend
Their footsteps into her snare?
'Tis said by her foes that God only knows
The lure of Titan hair;
Yet a thoughtful friend our safety defends;
Explains why we should beware:
Long years ago, (his story goes)
A fair-haired damsel lived,
Who begged the gods of heaven and sod
Resistless charm to give.
Her selfish desire aroused the ire
Of the gods to whom she prayed,
So they gave her red hair in place of the fair,
But her soul was taken away.
And now, friends, you know that the lack of a soul
Is the point of her ruthless career;
Irrestible hair, but never a care
For hearts sincerely laid bare.
—Convict number 969.

The knife descended. The great white face grew grave. The white teeth that
usually flashed in a grin were hidden behind closed lips. A gleam of satisfaction
shot from intently fixed eyes. The arm swept the knife closer. Beads of perspira­tion
stood out on his brow, yet his face retained its grim intensity.
At last the gleaming blade struck flesh and slashed. The knife barely showed
in the long red welt. Again his eye gleamed and drops of perspiration trickled
down his brow. He struck deeper, and the livid flesh rolled back and the bone
crunched from the blow. A devilish look of self-satisfaction and mastery of such
a deadly weapon masked his large face as he gazed upon the gaping wound.
Then he turned. Yes, John, the Greek, had cut another steak for the ravenous
appetites of Auburn students.

A (GRANTED) WISH
We wish, it seemed, passed ball I'd dreamed,
Last night he was back again,
But a newer face had taken the place
Of the blond and her disdain.
Life is a game, and the gambler's insane,
Who expects to win a lot,
But whether we choose we have to lose,
And die whether we like it or not.
But now and then by chance we win,
And sadness is set apart.
Fate spun a wheel and a new ideal
Came to our poet's heart.

MEDITATIONS
ON THIS A N D THAT
IBy ^Benjamin Trovost~
WITH OTHER COLLEGES
i
A PERFECT DESCRIPTION
Here's how a freshman at Cumberland
University sums up a low-brow in describ­ing
himself: "I'm a low-brow, through and
through, with small prospects of improve­ment.
I do not enjoy classical music; I
do not eat asparagus; I do not like to wear
a tie; I do not appreciate abstract classical
literature; for pastime reading, I prefer the
American Magazine to the Bookman; I use
ain't in preference to^am not; I like the
movies, but have no particular inclinations
towards becoming a patron of Grand
Opera; I pronounce laugh and can't with
short a's and use you all as the plural of
you; I read the comic and sport sections
of the newspaper, and then glance over the
editorials and news reports if I have enough
time left; I crumble crackers in my soup
and am fond of New Orleans molasses; I
bite my finger nails, call an evening meal
supper instead of dinner, and do not own
a poodle dog; and yes, I am fond of cal­liope
music." Nothing personal at-all.
* * * * *
YES, WE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE
A literary magazine, with a purpose to
allow "self expression", edited, published,
and written by a lone student at the Uni­versity
of Missouri, is the boast of Colum­bia's
literary world.
The magazine is "The Literarian In­quirer,"
owned, printed and circulated by
Ernest W. Tedlock, a freshman student.
All of the details of putting out an issue of
the magazine are attended to by Tedlock
with the exception of casting the type. This
takes too much time, he said.
The financial burden of the sheet is
born by Tedlock. He does not sell adver­tising
space and gives the issues away. This
is a fine piece of work. We do not need
such a paper though, our co-eds can still be
depended upon to scatter the necessary—.
* * * * *
AND HOW
A suggestion by the students to the fac­ulty
of Ohio Wesleyan University that they
be allowed to sit in on faculty meetings
was frowned on by the higher ups. The
president said: "The students are too busy
running the university now". Splendid co­operation
is thusly insured.
A BUSINESS HEAD
A Chicago man the other day took an
extra big drink of corn wiskey, and shortly
began to see reptiles, also animals in as­sorted
colors. So he rented a room and
opened a museum. Many people paid 35
cents admission and when they saw only an
empty room they called a policeman. The
policeman was going to arrest him, but the
man got him off in a corner and gave him
a drink. The policeman then gave the man
$300 for a half interest in the show.

IT'S "HOT" HERE
At Point Barrow, Alaska, by act on con­gress,
the northernmost school in the world
has been completed, and is now being used
by about 60 Eskimo youngsters.
Part of the ceremony of laying the cor­nerstone
of the structure included the
breaking of a bottle of seal oil over it.
Quit thinking; the reason they broke a
bottle cointaining oil as part of the cere­mony,
instead of—well anything thinner
than oil, would freeze you know.

A PAINFUL DEATH
Died or dying rapidly, Collegiate Fords:
cause, lost faith and decreasing popularity.
The day of the collegiate car is passed.
The "Smart thing to do" last year is by
no means the vogue of this year. The stu­dents
have gone back to their parents'
cars and the parents, after enjoying a
period of driving, have gone back to the
fifty passenger yellow bus. All of the
colorful originality expended on the old
wreck is now in the junk pile. Not even
the high school brother will pay five bucks
for the remains. Our brief romantic period
is over, at least with cars. The remains lie
smouldering in the alley.

GET MARRIED—RAISE GRADES
Numerous student marriages with cor­responding
rises in scholarship have led
students at the University of Colorado to
openly advocate marriage as a solution fol­low
marks and apathy in school work. Of
course Dad will be interested in hearing
this. Also let the school furnish certain
commodities along this line, and see how
the response is.

IT WAS the evening of the day on which
the junior elections were held. The
members of the class were waiting in
front of a drug store, hoping to get the
returns. They discussed the election casu­ally.
Said one:
"Who'd you vote for this office?"
"I voted for Blank for that one" replied
the other.
"Why?"
"Because he speaks to me on the street
every time we meet."
"Well, that's true, but that don't make
him the best man for the office does it?"
"I don't care, I'm not going to vote for
anybody that is so 'snooty' he can't speak
to you."
"Well, I voted for Blank; he's from my
home town."
"You did! And you know that he is ab­solutely
not the man for the place; only-politics
got his name on the ballot. That
is the most foolish thing I ever heard of."
"That makes no difference; I'm going
to stand up for the old home town, boys
against anybody."
"But the man is absolutely incapable of
being president of a class. He can't even
talk before a crowd. He never has an
original idea; he isn't even well known."
"Who'd you back for this office?"
"I was for Blank. He is a pretty good
ole boy. Never is griped at anybody and
is a mighty good friend."
"He is all right, I guess. I didn't vote
for him, though. We promised the Zeta
Delta's to vote for Blank. They were
.wing to support our man for another of­fice."
"Why this man was the least fitted for
that office of any on the ballot; you should
have known that."
"Oh, well, who cares? They gave us a
lot of help, and maybe our man was elect­ed."
"Well, even if he is your lodge brother,
I didn't vote for him. He doesn't speak to
me on the street."
"Well of all things! You know that he
was ablsoutely head-and-shoulders above
the rest of the ballot. He has more ability
along that line than all the rest together.
I'm surprised at you."
"Makes no difference; I'm entitled to
vote like I want to." And so on until
someone offered to buy them a coca-cola.

EX-PRESIDENT Coolidge has sold a
scries of articles to a popular maga­zine.
The price is reputed to be one
dollar per word. Ex-Governor Alfred E.
Smith has sold a series of articles to
another popular magazine, at a reputed
price of two dollars per word.
The message of Coolidge, who was presi­dent
for six years, is worth less to a pub­lisher
than is the message of Alfred Smith,
ex-newsboy who was defeated for the presi­dency.
It is worth just half as much, if
the reported figures are correct. Why?
It is rather symbolic of the two men. We
could trust Coolidge with the executive
powers of our country, while we could not
trust those same powers to Smith, yet we
will pay twice as much to read what Smith
has to say. It only shows that we do not
put much weight on personality when
choosing a president. The office is one
that we would rather see in the hands of a
man who will do nothing diplomatically
than in the hands of one who will do some­thing
with little regard for prejudice or
sentiment.
Smith has more to say, and has something
interesting to say. His opinions on prohi­bition
and other national questions are
more open, fearless, intelligent, unhypo-critical;
therefore we will pay to read
them. Yet we refused him the presidency.
MOONLIGHT
What time the meanest brick and stone
Take on a beauty not their own,
And past the flaw of builded wood
Shines the intention whole and good,
And all the little home of man
Rise to a dimmer, nobler span;
When colour's absence gives escape
To the deeper spirit of the shape,
—The nearth's great architecture swells
Among her mountains and her fells
Under the moon to amplitude
Massive and primitive and rude:
—Then do the clouds like silver flags
Stream out above the tattered crags,
And black and silver all the coast
Marshals its hunched and rocky host,
And headlands striding sombrely
Buttress the land against the sea,
—The darkened land, the brightening wave
And moonlight slants through Merlin's cave.
—V. Sackville-West.

FINALS BE PLAYED SUNDAY
INTERFRAT. GOLF TOURNEY
By Tad McCallum
The interfraternity golf tourna­ment
sponsored by the Auburn Golf
Association is now in full swing and
the championship will be decided Sun­day
when the finals are scheduled to
be played. Much interest has been
manifested in the tourney and it is
evident from the class of golf exhi­bited
by many of the players that a
golf team could be selected from the
entire school that would make a cred­itable
showing in the annual South­ern
Conference tournament.
The riiblic and mashie^ wielders
commenced battling last Saturday and
the six winners of the first round
matches advanced to the second round
to compose the upper flight while the
losers were dropped to the consola­tion
bracket to fight it out for the
second flight trophy.
Following are the results of the
first round matches: The Sigma Nu
team defeated the Kappa Sigma pair,
."> and 2; the Pi Kappa Alpha's won
from the Phi Delta Chi's, 4 and 3;
the Kappa Alpha team walloped the

Chi Alpha's forfeited to the Sigma
Pi's, and the Phi Delta Theta's cop­ped
handily from the Delta Sigma Pi
pair, 4 and 3.
In the second round the favorites
won their matches handily and adT
vanced to the semi-finals. The Phi
Delta Theta5 s took things easy in
winning from the Sigma Pi team, 5
and 4; The S. P. E.'s won from the
Kappa Alpha's, 3 and 2, and the
Sigma Nu's copped from the Pi Kap­pa
Alpha's, 4 and 3. In the consola­tion
round the Lambda Chi Alpha's
won a gruelling 19 hole match from
the Delta Sigma Phi's; the Phi Delta
Chi's won from the Kappa Sig's, 2
and 1, and the S. A. E.—Alpha Tau
Omega match had only been partly
completed at the time of going to
press.
The semi-final matches, will be
played Saturday with the finals com­ing
Sunday. Drawings were made
Monday for the semi-finals with the
folowing pairings resulting:
First flight
Sigma Nu. vs. Phi Delta Theta.
Sigma Phi Epsilon—bye.
Second flight
Winner S. A. E.-Alpha Tau Omega
match vs. Phi Delta Chi.
Lambda Chi Alpha—bye.
The championship seems to hinge
on the outcome of the Sigma Nu-Phi
Delta Theta encounter which will be
played Saturday afternoon. The S
P. E. pair advanced to the final
round by virtue of a bye but it is
doubtful if they are as strong as
either of the other final contenders.
The Phi Delta Chi's are favored to
cop the lower bracket trophy but
face strong competition in the A. T.
O.'s and Lambda Chi Alpha's. Bril­liant
individual play is expected to
geature the concluding matches and
will be the basis of selection of a
school golf team if Auburn sends a
team to the Conference tournament
next month.
Blake Talks On
"Football And Life"
GOVERNMENT TO
ISSUE NEW MONEY
Americans To Meet
Foreign Debaters
"The world takes its hat off to The government is almost ready to Debates will be held next autumn
every Christian gentleman that it
meets," said Morgan Blake, leading
sports authority of the South, in a talk
before the Darlington football squad
the 95 or more guests gathered at a
banquet in honor of the grid team.
Mr. Blake made the above state­ment
near the close of a 15-minute
speech upon the subject of "Foot­ball
and-Life." He declared that the
game of life and the game of foot­ball
were similar in many. respects,
and that a young man starting out in
life with high ambitions and keen ex­pectations
was a parallel to the back-field
star tucking the ball under his
arm and attempting to reach the goal
of success.
"There are many tacklers there to
bring either down," said Mr. Blake,
"and it would go hard were it not for
the 'interference' and a young man
should have this interference in life
just as in football if he wishes to gain
the goal."
Following out this idea Mr. Blake
named the "tacklers" and the "in­terference."
He stated that the worst
of the tacklers is the new forced and
false philosophy of self-expression.
Other tacklers named were: passion
and lust, greed, selfishness, and trou­ble.
On the other hand the interfer­ence
that will carry a young man
through to his goal were summed up
under the heads of good associations,
the partnership of a good woman,
either wife or sweetheart, the love of
a good mother, and a partnership with
God. In closing he said to the football
squad: "Be loyal to the royal which
is in you and remember that you are
sons of a King."

KRATZER'S
Holding the honored office of
president of the sophomore class at
Ohio State University carries with it
this year a stumbling block which has
placed Miss Marion L. Riggs, .of To­ledo,
the pretty president, in an em-
Ibarrassing position and her fellow
classmates in an uproar.
As head of the class, Miss Riggs
will be "aueen of festivities" at the
annus Jophomore Hop May 17.
As "queen" of the prom, she must
lead the grand march but she must
also select a "king" to conform with
tradition.
Poor Marion has no precedent to
rely upon in her humiliating predica­ment.
For years past, the president of the
sophomore class has always been a
boy. When May rolled around he
proudly became "King" of the grand
march and as proudly selected his
queen. Now things are reversed.
Miss Riggs has revolted and re­fused
to make the choice of" a royal
partner. She'd be queen of the prom
and all that, but she'd be hanged if
she'd select a mate.
Subsidiary class officers went in­to
a huddle in the hope of preserving
tradition. They prevailed upon the
president and called in her sorority
sisters for help.
Finally Miss Riggs compromised a
little. She said "maybe." At least,
there is plenty of time to decide, she
said.
issue a new size and design of paper
money to replace that which has been
used by thre generations of Ameri­cans.
Our present paper money is to
be replaced by new bills only two-thirds
as large—2 9-16 by 61-4 in.—
and with new pictures on their faces
and backs.
Another change is in the paper it­self.
Heretofore this paper has been
made of about 75 per cent linen to
25 per cent cotton, and containing
distinctive colored silk fibers, as a
protection against counterfeiting, but
counterfeiters learned to imitate them
so well that they became an aid rather
than a hindrance. These colored fi­bers
are not to appear in the new
money. Instead will be a little col­ored
silk chopped up fine and dis­tributed
all over the paper. Another
radical change will be the disappear­ance
of yellow backs. These yellow
backs, have meant "redeemable in
gold", making them seem more secure
while really, all paper money is equ­ally
secure, so thereafter all faces
will be printed in black and all backs
in green.
Already the government presses
have clanked out tons of the new
bills, and soon there will be enough
of them to meet the currency needs
of the nation. Then the change will
be made. When banks ask for new
currency to replace old and soiled
notes, they will receive the smaller
size, and the old money will be re­tired
as fast as it comes in.
Architects To Meet
At Univ. Of Fla.
for American Colleges and Universi­ties
with several foreign debating
teams under the auspices of the Na­tional
Student Federation of America.
These teams will represent Oxford
University, Cambridge University and
Victoria University College of New
Zealand.
The custom of international debat­ing
was inaugurated approximately
five years ago under the auspices of
the Institute of International Educa­tion
and was turned over to the For­eign
Relations Committee of the N.
S. F. A. a year ago. Each team
spends about seven weeks of the fall
term traveling through one section of
the United States, meeting our col­leges
in debates.
During the past year two teams
came to the United States from Eng­land,
one from Australia and one
from the National Federation of Ca­nadian
University Students. One of
the English teams was the first
woman's team to come to the United
States for international debating.
Next fall one of our visiting teams
will be the first debating team to
visit the United States from New
Zealand.
As it is impossible for the English
teams to meet their own traveling ex­penses

INSECTS HOLD VERY DOMINANT
POSITION IN ANIMAL KINGDOM
Announcement has been made that
the Southern Intercollegiate Archi­tectural
Competition will be held this
year at the University of Florida at
Gainesville. The .contest, which is of
six weeks duration, is to close on
May 13, 1929. At this time first,
second, and third mention will be se­lected.
The drawing this year is to be the
plan of a legation. Such specifica­tions
as were necessary have . been
sent out by Mr. William A. Boring,
School of Architecture, Columbia Uni­versity,
New York City. A jury is to
select the winners.
Auburn is one of eight schools to
be represented in this contest. The
others entering the contest are:
North Carolina State, Georgia School
of Technology, Clemson, University
of Florida, Rice Institute, University
of Texas, and Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical School.
281 Samples Building
Stone Compose Column
Assembled from Pennsylvania's
80,000 square miles into a column
only six feet square at the base, every
known variety of Keystone state
building stone forms an attraction on
the* campus of the State College there.
From 150 localities, 281 samples
of building stone were shaped into a
polylith 33 feet high. Because it tells
how the stones withstood weather-ing
the "monument" as it is known
to students, attracts building special­ists
and geologists from all parts of
the country.
Seniors Study Law
Closer Than Ever
Two Georgia senior law students
recently were, for the first time in
their college careers, trying to find
out something about the law.
The occasion dealt with something
a "spoofing" friend had told them in
all seriousness.
"Oh, yet," he said. "Haven't you
heard? There's a new way of ex­amining
seniors in the Law school
being tried this year. They're going
to put all the senior law class in jail,
and see if they know enough law to
get out. If they get out, they pass
the course. If they don't, they pass
awhile in jail."
The two seniors were greatly'wor-ried.
At the last report, they were
cramming furiously.
The dominant place in the animal
kingdom is held by the insects. A
statement in this connection made by
Dr. W. C. Allee, professor of zoology
at the University of Chicago, read as
follows: "In time this may become the
age of man, the most highly develop­ed
mentally of the vertebrates, but
at present he is only beginning to
dispute the ascendacy arthropod."
The truth of this statement is in­dicated
by the estimate of the U. S.
Bureau of Entomology that farm
crops in the United States are dam­aged
annually to the extent of one
billion dollars, and every indication
shows that the damage is increasing.
The boll weevil alone destroyed at
least 25 per cent of the cotton crop
annually. The European corn borer,
Japanese beetle and gypsy moth are
of sufficient economic importance
that the U.S. government has estab­lished
an experiment station for the
control of each. The time is near at
hand when each successful agricul­turalist
must employ scientific con­trol
methods for the numerous in­sect
pests which annually attack his
crops.
However, economics entomology is
only a .small field compared with the
field in general entomology. Insect
control depends almost entirely upon
research in the fields of insect devel-opment,
morphology and physiology.
Insect physiology is a science which
in the last few years is just begin-ing
to receive the attention of scient­ists.
Among other fascinating fields
of entomology are ecology, geographi­cal
distribution, classification and
evolution.
Entomology deals not only with
control of injurious insects but also
with the production of substances of
commercial value such as honey,
beeswax, silk and shellac.
The production of honey in the
United States amounts to 200,000,000
to 400,000,000 pounds annually,
which has a value of about 15 cents
per pound. In addition, bees produce
12,000,000 to 15,000,000 pounds of
beeswax valued at millions of dollars.
Silk, which is taken from the cocoon
of the silk worm, has a commercial
value of $200,000,000 to $500,000,-
000 a year.
Unquenchable optimism seems to be
one of God's gifts to fools.

The above group of Tigers
have been seen "strutting their

this year, but have fallen in a
slump lately. About this time
last year, Coach "Slick" was get­ting
"down hearted" over the
way his Tigers were performing,
but he made a few changes and
things picked up considerably.
The same has happened again
this year and now Coach Moul­ton
has made changes in his out­field
and in his infield. "Big

from the outfield and placed at
the initial bag. "Little Pete"
Harris has been stationed at left field and Captain "Jack Frost" Smith lias been shifted back to the keystone bag, where he performed in such a highly
-satisfactory manner last year. These Tigers are off to Panama City, Fla. to meet the University of Florida in a three game series this week-end and all
of Auburn is pulling for them to bring back the bacon.

On Athletic Honors
Looks like Carl Creel is trying to
step way «head of the many honors
gained by his future relatives of the

teams. , Carl is only a Sophomore
this year and has captured a first
place in Auburn's first dual track
meet. He tossed the javelin 159 feet
1 3-4 inches against Florida Tuesday
to win first place.
Carl was also a member of the var­sity
football squad and varsity bas­ketball
squad this year.
TRACK RECORDS
Bad looking prospects mean nothing to Coach Hutsell. Starting
the year^with practically nothing left over from last year to work with
the Tiger cinder artists journeyed over to Atlanta for the annual Tech
Relays and brought back two records for the other colleges to shoot at.
Percy Beard the young man who found himself left to fill the shoes of
the greatest track man the south has ever produced was the big show
in Atlanta arid no doubt he has acquired some of Baskin's habits as just
how to break records. Against the best the south had to offer this
same Mr. Beard was able to establish two records in the hurdling event
that will no doubt stand for some time. Maybe when a man becomes
accustomed to seeing records topple as has been Beards case in the
years he spent with Baskin on the cinder track it just comes natural
that he should acquire the habit, and he had it real bad. Our track team
does not show the promise in dual meets, but in a Conference meet
where the points are usually scattered we can always assure ourselves
of enough points to be among the first few. With a man to carry on
Sniders work in the sprints we would have little to fear.
BASEBALL
With the opening of the college baseball season the big question in
the Auburn student's mind was: "Will the pitching staff come through?"
There was never a doubt as to the hitting ability of the club, but the
pitching staff was new and inexperienced and this seemed to be the
spot that would give the most trouble, but as the season progresses all
worry about the pitching staff has vanished. When a pitcher allows
from three to six hits in a game then he has done all you can expect,
and this has been the speed at which our pitchers have been traveling,
but with the same amount of errors being contributed it is hardly pos­sible
to win games. Now with good pitching and hitting, the defense
should find themselves before long, but until then it will be hard to
win games.
At the present time the "Bulldogs" from Georgia are setting the
pace in the southern conference, and as it appears so early in the sea­son
it will be left up to Auburn, Florida, or Clemson to stop the march.
If Auburn can brace the defense then there is no reason why we can
not do the job when the Bulldogs journey over to the "Plains" for the
two games.

GOLF
Golfing in Auburn has picked up considerably in the past few
weeks and each day you can see many students wending their way to
the Country Club for the daily round. The tournament being played in
the Fraternity circle has done much for the promotion of Golf at Au­burn,
and boys who otherwise would spend the afternoon playing bridge
are spending the afteroon out in the open and getting the exercise that
every Auburn student needs. The one time "old man's" game can no
- longer be termed as such. The Tennis players are getting credit in
physical training for their activities on the tennis courts, why not give 1
the Golfers some consideration and bring -a,bout a greater interest in
this game?
w By Rosser Alston
In a statement issued Saturday by
Dr. Bradford Knapp, President of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute and
Coach George M. Bohler of Auburn
it was stated that J. C. Floyd, As­sistant
Coach at Vanderbilt Univer­sity
had been selected as Plainsman
assistant coach for next year. Coach
Floyd will report for duty July first.
Coach "Red" Floyd is well known
in southern athletic circles having
played on the Vandy eleven for four
years, graduating there in 1920. He
was captain of the Commodore foot­ballers
in his senior year and comes
to Auburn highly recommended by
Vandy coaches.
Coach Dan McGugin, in a lengthy
communication to President Knapp
stated that Coach Floyd was a fine
student of the game and a man of
character and influence.
Coach Floyd formally accepted the
position as Tiger Assistant Coach
Saturday. He is the third member
of the trio who will direct the des­tinies
of the Plainsmen during 1929.
The other two members of the coach­ing
staff are Coach George M. Bohler
and "Bull" McFadden.
The new Tiger Coach was athletic
director in the Morgan School for
several years, his team winning
against odds in a spectacular manner.
Later he took charge of athletics in
the Knoxville High School. The
Knoxville eleven was undefeated on
the grid for two years except for
one team. - While at Knoxville he
was tendered the position he now
holds at his alma mater. While at
Vanderbilt he has been doing ex­ceptional
work, it is said.
" Coach Dan McGugin very highly
recommended Coach PToyd, saying
that he believed him to be one of the
greatest teachers of sports ever
coached by hipi. Coach McGugin
stated that he believed that Coach
Floyd would serve Auburn's needs
best at this time.
President Knapp and Coach Boh­ler
are enthusiastic over the pros­pects
for the coming year as Coach
Floyd formally accepted the position.
Mr. Floyd stated in a letter to Au­burn's
Prexy that he was much in­terested
in bringing the Plainsmen
out of the pit. It is said that Coach
Floyd is rated with Wade, Cody and
Collins.

years on Auburn's team and was an
oustanding man throughout his ca­rer.
In Auburn's first dual meet which
was with Florida last Tuesday, "Nick"

Freshmen Lose to Tech Frosh 7-4
In Slow Game Friday Afternoon
By Roser Alston
The Auburn Rat baseballers were
the victims of the Georgia Tech frosh
in a slow game Friday afternoon when
they were defeated 7-4 by the vis­itors.
The Techsters scored on errors
after the Baby Tigers had established
an early lead. The game was the
first of a two game series' to be play­ed
pn the Auburn diamond.
Coach "Red" Brown's ball club
chalked up three scores in the third
but were held pointless for the next
two innings until Lloyd, first base­man
for the Baby Bengals sent the
apple far into left field in the sixth
for a homer which tied the score 4-4.
The Tech lads made runs in the third
and fifth periods.
The visitors showed good form
playing an almost errorless game
while the Plainsman yearling aggre­gation
failed, to support the Auburn
batteries when seven errors were
marked up against them.
Lloyd, holder of the first sack on
Coach Brown's nine closed a perfect
day with two singles and a homer.
The leading men coming to the plate
for Tech were English and McKee.
Anderson, stellar twirler for the
Tiger first year nine did not pitch in
his usual form allowing 7 hits. The
Plainsmen managed to turn five hits
into four runs. Kaley was on the re­ceiving
end for the Brownmen while
Mitcham and Farmer were the bat­teries
for the Little Jackets.

By Rosser Alston
The Auburn frosh baseballers Sat­urday
handed out a crushing defeat
i to the Georgia Tech yearling nine
10-4 in an interrupted game on the
Auburn diamond. Coach "Red"
Brown's aggregation retaliated for
the 7-4 victory of the visitors Fri­day.
The game eneded the frosh
series with the Jackets.
The Techsters rang up three point­ers
in the first inning while the home
team made a twosome in the initial
round. The Baby Tiger's managed to
cop two runs in the fourth as Bigger-staff,
Plainsman holder of the third
station made a homer on errors tying
the score 4-4. Another run closely
followed put the Brown nine in the
lead.
The Jackets were held pointless for
five innings. The break came in the
seventh for the Orange and Blue
as the Tiger yearlings made the
rounds, hitting to all points of the
compass and ringing up six runs to
the Jacket's one.
Primm and Kaley, Auburn's bat­teries
did the job brown. The visitors
used three twirlers on the mound in
an effort to stop the Bengal attack
during the latter periods. Strickland,
Primm and Dulce, pill slingers for the
Gold and White and Farmer, stellar
receiver for the Techmen failed to
give the sines and cosines right to
curb the hard hitting of the Tiger
nine.
Jordan and Harper made two bag­gers
for the Plainsmen as Strickland
fanned a quartet. Primm sent six
away from the plate after they had
failed to hit the apple. Duke, Tech
hurler who relieved Primm in the
eighth struck one.

The Valley of Olympus by Octavus
| Roy Cohen: D. Appleton and Com-
'pany.'N. Y.
Literary fame has its natural lim-nothing
new under the sun. And yet
because of this fact there is no need
to say that all the great novels have
already been written. The drama of
ary character means to be forever
associated with it. Octavus Roy Co­hen,
Alabama's own by mutual adop-j
tion, and Birmingham's by choice of
residence, has become so closely as­sociated
with Florian Slappey and
other similar characters of Birming-
1 ham's Dark Town society that it is
• sometimes difficult to realize that
I his literary workshop turns out a very
, considerable variety of other prod­ucts.
And yet such is indeed the
case.
His latest book, "The Valley of
Olympus," is a romance of a young
man's adventures in Hollywood. The
hero is an Alabamian, a graduate of
the University of Alabama and to
make the character further appealing,
itations. To create a popular liter- human life is still as intensely inter­esting
as it ever was but the interest
lies in the analytical presentation of
character and environment rather
than in the mere course of events.
Herein lies the weakness of Mr. Co­hen's
l-ecent book. The characters in
"The Valley of Olympus" are mere
types and not only lack verisimili­tude
but also the other necessary in­gredient
of life, the conviction of
reality. The reader feels that while
the hero was nominally born in Ala­bama
he might have been born
anywhere else in America and that,
not only for him but for most of the
other characters as well, Mr. Cohen
is doing practically all of the talking
and most' of the thinking.
In spite of these very obvious de-

himself and his native State in an
intersectional strife on a Pasadena
gridiron. The heroine quite naturally
a football star who made history for fects, however, the book, as a whole,
is engagingly written, as all of Mr.
Cohen's stories are. The style is
smooth and easy and though the novel
is a movie star, a European beauty cannot in any sense be called a great
with whom he falls deperately in
love. Under such circumstances it is
jnot difficult to foresee highly inter-i
esting developments in the way of
| plot.
It is no serious disparagement of
Mr. Cohen's book to say, however,
that it belongs to that type of litera-j
ture which is commonly called ephem­eral.
To begin with the plot is light
—in fact, almost stereotyped—though
it is well to remember that all the or­dinary
human relations have long
since been pretty thoroughly depict­ed
in literature and that so far as
plots are concerned, there is indeed
book or one that will greatly increase
the author's fame, its perusal will be
found to be a pleasant and entertain­ing
pastime.

Capt. Howard Smith is performing
at the keystone, and with Ben New­ton,
at first, Coach Moulton has just
about solved his infield problem.
Smith played errorless ball in Tech
series, his first games at his former
post, but failed to connect with the
offering of "Kid" Clay's moundsmen.
The Orange and Blue captain is play­ing
his final games against Florida on
the diamond and he is expected to
wield a wicked bludgeon, one like he
did last season when he led the cham­pionship
Auburn nine in batting by a
fraction of a point over Jim Craw­ford,
Auburn outer gardener.
Auburn's fly chasers have given
Coach Moulton little to worry about
but shaping a errorless infield has
caused him plenty of lost sleep.
Crawford, Burt and Harris will be
stationed in the outfield when the
Tigers clash with the 'Gators. Smith,
Currie, Newton, Pate and Booth will
comprise the starting infield lineup
for the Moultonmen with Carter, Mc-
Ghee and Harkins pitching in the
order named. Peter Lee was carried
along by Coach Moulton as relief
hurler and might receive the nomina­tion
to start one of the trio of games.

Men's Wear s
For eighteen years the Boston
Transcript has annually compiled the
enrollments of ninety representative
American colleges and universities and
presented its figures as a typically na­tional
survey. They have been ac­ceptable,
inasmuch as the curve that
has been true for these institutions
would have been just as true for
for the many smaller colleges left
out. It finds that there are today
six times as many students in these
colleges as were there thirty years
ago. For the decade between 1890
and 1900 the gain was over 4,500 a
year. For the next decade that gain
was nearly 10,000 a year, and it has
touched 50,000 since then. Lately
there has been a steady slowing up
of this phenominal increase has drop­ped
to the lowest since the satura­tion
point will shortly be reached.
The interesting point about these
figures is that this year the rate of in­crease
has dropped to the lowest since
the war. For the last five years the
per cent gain has been 6.5, 5.1, 4.7,
4.8, and 3. Then tendency has ob­viously
been a slowing up of college
registration. The gain last year over
the previous year was 13,800; this
year it is 9,000. The total enroll­ment
in the selected instiutions is
now 301,363.
It is in the freshman classes that
the figures best show conditions. Last
fall 75,733 entered these ninety col­leges
and universities as compared to
76,029 in 1927, a per cent loss of 0.389.
Throughout the country half of the
colleges report small freshman in­crease,
and half small losses. The
peak seems to have been reached in
the number of incoming freshmen
This may be due to a number of
causes. Such a tremendous gain per
year as happened in the first years
following the armistice in Europe
could not possibly be maintained per­manently
under the best of condi­tions.
In the West the farming situa­tion
has not been conducive to heavier
college registration. There has been
the development during this period of
the junior college, which is not reck­oned
with in the figures above, and
which undoubtedly has drawn students
from the smaller Western institutions.
There has been the movement among
endowed universities in the country
toward limitation of numbers, so as
deliberately to hold down the number
of students to the equipment and the
size of the faculty.

Student Conference
Be Held In Budapest
This summer an important inter­national
student congress will meet
in Budapest, Hungary, from August
10th to 24th. This will be the eleven­th
annual congress of the Confedera­tion
International res Etudiants (C.
I. E.) of which about thirty-six na­tions
are members through their na­tional
unions of students. The Na­tional
Federation of America is a
member of this International Con­federation
of Students and will there­fore
be represented at the Budapest
Congress.
Founded in 1919 at Strasbourg,
France, because of the need for the
cooperation of the youth of the world,
the Confederation Internationale des
Etudiants convenes annually in Con­gress
to discuss concrete means of
promoting international student co­operation.
It is the belief of this
student organization that the best
way to further international under­standing
is through actual co-opera­tive
activities in which the students
of various countries must work to­gether.
Such activities have been
to promote student self-help, interna­tional
students sanatorium, an inter­national
Book Bureau, international
university games, and student travel.
The two weeks of the annual congress
are spent, therefore, not in theoreti­cal
discussion of peace or politics, but
instead in promoting the activities
which will create international un­derstanding
among the youth of the
world.
Garrett and Brooks
Attend Buyers Meet
The meeting of southern educa­tional
buyers and business managers
in Gainesville, Florida,' April 19-20
was attended by S. W. Garrett, busi­ness
manager, and C. C. Brooks, ac­countant,
Auburn. Upon returning
to Auburn they reported a very pleas­ant
and also a very profitable trip.
They returned to Auburn, Monday.
(Continued from page 1)
around the 18th of May and will be
distributed promptly, it was stated by
members of the staff.
Immediately following the opening
pages appear the pictures of each
president of the alumni association
since 1906, together with a brief syn­opsis
of their accomplishments during
their term of office. They are: T. D.
Samford, 1902-07; C. L. Harold, 1910-
12; Thomas Bragg, 1912-20; J. V.
Denson, 1920-21; Charles F. DeBarde-leben,
1921-24; and Judge William H.
Samford, 1924-28. There is also a pic­ture
of Gen. R. E. Noble, alumni pres­ident
at the present time, and J. V.
Brown, executive secretary.
Following this, appear the pictures
of twelve of the present vice-presidents
of the Alumni Association, six pic­tures
being placed on each page;
namely: Judge L. F. Sessions, Ozark;
J. D. Foy, Dothan, Dr. George Blue,
Montgomery; W. R. Reynolds, Annis
ton; Judge F. W. Hare, Monroeville;
J. M. Moore, Montgomery; C. S. Cul­ver,
Gadsden; W. E. Henley, Birming
ham; W. M. Williams, Washington,
D. C ; M. S. Sloan, New York; O. E.
Edwards, New York; and Lee Ash-craft,
Atlanta, Ga.
The 1929 Glomerata has many out­standing
features which mark it a
disinct accomplishment in the publi­cations
of the Auburn student body.
The cover will be of black antique
mission grain, extremely simple in de­sign.
Embossed at the top will be a
tiger head, in deep red, within a
metallic bronze shield border. The
words, Glomerata, 1929, will be em­bossed
in the lower right hand corner.
On the twelve opening pages there
are drawings in four colors. The
building section, which consists of
eight full-page photographs of cam­pus
views, is also done in four nat­uralistic
colors. These colors are iden­tical
with the ones which appear in the
actual campus view.
In the senior section the pictures
are arranged eight to a page, there
being four pictures in horizontal pan­els
both at the top and bottom of the
page. Senior pictures in the past have
always been run in vertical panels.
Between these two panels is a very
dim outline of the Main Gate, over
which the printed matter appears.
On the sub-division pages of the
athletic section there are pen and ink
drawings of the team captains of each
of the four major sports. These were
drawn by Prof. Frank W. Applebee
of the school of architecture.
At the end of each section in the
book there is a full-page pen and ink
drawing - of campus scenes done by
Charlie Davis.
Sam Pope has drawn a number of
pen and ink sketches which mark the
endings of several sub-divisions of the
book.
In the baseball section a sketch of
a regular baseball diamond covers two
pages, and pictures of the various
players are placed at the correct po­sitions
on the diamond. The entire
feature section of the book is done in
brown sepia ink on pebbled paper.
The snapshot section is most' attrac­tive
this year, and there are eight
pages instead of six as in the other
books of recent years.
The motive of this year's book
carried out in the division pages rep­resents
modern college activities in
the foreground with a parallel scene
taken from Greek mythology appear­ing
dimly in the background toward
the top of the page. The drawings
for each of these division pages, which
appear in four colors, were made by
an experienced artist of New York
City.
COLLEGE PAPERS
TEND SUPPRESS
INJURIOUS NEWS
In their effort to suppress the un­favorable
news stories that originate
on their campuses, a great many
educational institutions are injuring
their relations with the public and
press, declared R. W. Madry, direc­tor
of the News Bureau of the Univer­sity
of Noi-th Carolina in an address
in Nashville Tenn., before the fif­teenth
annual meeting of the Amer­ican
Association of College News
Bureaus, in session at Vanderbilt Uni­versity.
It is an unwise policy for educa­tional
institutions to attempt to sup­press
legitimate news, and many more
of them have come to realize this fact
in recent years, Mr. Madry said.
"In fact, real news can't be sup­pressed,"
Mr. Madry added. "Real
news will get out, regardless of at­tempts
of college officials toward sup­pression.
True, it may be suppressed
temporarily, as frequently it is, but
the fact remains that a good story
that is fit to print is going to get in­to
print sooner or later.
"And once newspapers learn that
an institution is trying to suppress a
story, the chances are nine out of ten
that they will give that particular
story a much bigger play than they
would have had it been given to the
papers when it first broke."
Other speakers at this session in­cluded
John Price Jones, New York
financial campaign expert, who dis­cussed
publicity in relation to insti­tutional
financing; Roscoe B. Ellard,
director of the Lee Memorial School i
of Journalism, Washington and Lee
University, whose topic was "Utiliz­ing
the Department of Journalism in
News Dissemination"; A. G. Strough
ton, director of the News Service at
Bucknell University, whose subject
was "Coordinating Alumni Activities
with Publicity," and C. R. House, head
of the Department of Journalism
and director of the News Service at
Wesleyan College, who discussed pub
licity methods for the small denomi
national college.

Herbert Clark Hoover, who has been
in the White House about six weeks,
has probably accomplished more in
the way of minor reforms than any
other President has done in an entire
term. Some of these more or less
radical changes could hardly be term­ed
reforms, but they have served to
alter the physical appearance of the
executive domains, and to shift duties
from one side to another so profusely
that any former Chief Executive
would probably fail to recognize his
former office, and official as well as
private haunts. Among the more
notable changes that Mr. Hoover has
instituted are. (1) Instead of the
customary two, Mr. Hoover will re­tain
only one medical advisor (Lieut.
Commander Joel T. Boone). (2) The
First Lady of the Land will not re­tain
any Secret Service men for per­sonal
protection as has been the cus­tom
for the last two administrations.
(3) For the first time in many years
(probably since the Roosevelt Admin­istration)
a cradle has been set up
in the White House. This is for the
convenience of Herbert C. Hoover
III, the President's grandson. (4)
Four new Pierce Arrows, a Lincoln,
and a Packard, each bearing the seal
of the United States are parked in
the White House garage for the use
of the Presidential Family. (5) Mr.
Hoover found the Presidential four-poster
bed (used by Abraham Lin­coln)
discouraging to Presidential
slumber, and had his own bed moved
in. (6) Presidents in the past have
rarely used the telephone in the ante-hasroom
of the executive office, so
no one has ever bothered to have one
installed on the President's desk.
Herbert Hoover frequently has tele­phone
conferences, saving Cabinet
members and Senate Committee
Chairmen tiresome trips to the White
House, so for his convenience a tele­phone
has been installed in his pri­vate
office. (7) President Hoover has
had the yacht "Mayflower" decom­missioned.
This saves $300,000 an­nual
maintenance, and sends nine of­ficers
and 148 men back to regular
naval duty. (8) As Mr. Hoover is no
yachtsman, he is no inveterate horse­man,
so he had the Presidential
stables closed.' This act saves around
$20,000 annually and sends some 15
horses and 10 men back to regular
military duty. (9) Two fishing tracts
have long been under the eagle eyes
of Mr. Hoover's right-hand man and
$10,000 per year secretary Lawrence
Richey. Last week one of these tracts
was leased, and another was purchas­ed
(in the name of Lawrence Richey).
Both are in Virginia, near Washing­ton.
(10) The Executive Offices are
being enlarged, and the basement of
the White House is being renovated.
The former for more elbow room and
the latter for storage space. (11)
The West embankment of the White
House lawn is being cut away to per­mit
basement windows. (12) An idle
existence for the military aides is a
thing of the past. The two new
aides, Lieut. Col. Campbell B. Hodges,
U. S. A., and Capt. Allen Buchanan,
U. S. N., have been supplied with
desks and office space, and will prob­ably
take care of minor army and
navy questions, and thereby lighten
the burden of the President.

SLOT MACHINES
The slot machines on college prem­ises
have helped their makers to
amass a sum of money amounting to
$35,000,000 during 1927, in pennies
alone. A stick of gum, a square of
chocolate, or weigh told for a cent,
keep pennies in circulation.

PAUSE Am
OF COURSE IT'S NO
FAIR PLAYING THE
PROCTOR AND SPYING
OUT SUCH A DELICATE
SITUATION AS THIS.
BUT THEN, WE'RE
NO PROCTOR.
AND WE CAN
RESIST ANYTHING
BUT TEMPTATION.

All of which goes to prove (if
we may be excused for saying so)
that the pause that refreshes is the
janest temptation which millions
ever succumbed to. And to these
same millions the pause that re­freshes
has come to mean an ice-cold
Coca-Cola. Its angling,
delicious taste and cool after-sense
of refreshment have proved that
a little minute is long enough for
a big rest any time.
