GUARD OF HONOR ESCORT DOCTOR AND MRS. KNAPP At the game today a new and most impressive ceremony was inaugurated. When Mr .and Mrs. Bradford Knapp reached Drake Field, they were escorted across the gridiron by a guard of honor, composed of several members of Scabbard and Blade, hon-orairy military society. When the president and his wife ascended to the box of honor, the bodyguard saluted with shining sabers, and marched from the field.

Williams Willams Wellaford Farmer Piper McKinney Goldsmith McKee Graydon Barren Huntsinger NEW ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ADDED Up to this time the Electrical Engineering Laboratory has not really had as much General Electrtic equipment as they should have. This will shortly be remedied for within the next 2 months there will be installed something over $17,000.00 worth of G. E. Company laboratory equipment. This equipment will consist of a laboratory alternator driven by a variable speed motor, a 3 and 6 phase rotary converter with special transformers, 2 D. C. D. C. motor generator sets, 1 synchronous motor direct connected to the two 25 KW, 115 volts, D. C. generator, complete switchboards for the control of all this machinery, a considerable amount of minor apparatus such as special transformers, 3 potential regulators, special induction motor, with condensers, 53 portable instruments of various types and a complete Epstein iron testing apparatus with its accompanying instruments. It is hardly necessary to say that the installation of this apparatus will greatly improve the laboratory instruction. There has just been installed and started a new motor generator set consisting of a 50 HP syn-chnous motor direct connected to a DC 110 volt generator, together with a 2 panel switchboard for its control. At the beginning of the year, Mr. G. H. Carlovitz was elected Associate Prof, of Electrical Engineering and he will have complete charge of Senior lab. work. Mr. R. A. Betts as heretofore will be in charge of Junior Lab. work, assisted by Mr. R. E. Smith. A new day is dawning for the A. P. I. and all departments are being vastly improved by means of the appropriations made by the last meeting of the Legislature. Work Is Begun On Two New Fraternity Homes Auburn will witness the completion of two new fraternity houses on fraternity row sometime in the very near future. The first two houses to be built are those of Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Delta Theta. All houses along fraternity row will be of brick construction, colonial architecture, and will be built at a cost of approximately $30,000 each. The row is to be begun on College Street between Thatch and Miller Avenues, these first two houses being built on the east side of College Street in this block, and will be extended in time to provide space for the various houses to be built later. Auburn has long felt the need of a fraternity row. Heretofore the houses have been and are now scattered here and there about town. With the beginning of this new project an epochal milestone is about to be passed in the beautification of the campus. This grouping together of the fraternity houses will, no doubt, bring about a closer relationship among the fraternities. Work has already been begun on the Delta Sigma Phi house by the contractor, A. C. Fulghrum, of Pen-sacola, Florida. Mr. Fulghrum, incidentally, built Ramsay Hall. The Phi Delta Theta house will be begun within the next week or ten days. These two houses are the first two of the four which will ultimately be built on this block on the east side of College Street. Other fraternities whose plans are completed for new houses are Phi Kappa Delta, A.T.O. and Pi K. A.

The Varsity plays Tulane in New Orleans on this latter date. NOTICE An important meeting of the Senior Class is called for Tuesday morning from 11-12, in Langdon Hall. Rules to govern the rats will be drawn up. All seniors be there. During the intermission between halves at the game today, five lovely Greek dancers tripped the light fantastic to the music of the lute (or was it a clarinet?) Draped in veils of filmy white, the dancers were the picture of perfect grace. They danced and danced as the crowd alternately roared and applauded. Time to break the suspense—the Kappa Kappa Psi national honorary musical fraternity was having its public initiation. The Greek minstrel happened, to be Clarence Meyer. The flitter-flutters were Giddens, Nabors, Cledus Meyer, and Jones. The initiation was a feature of the game, keeping the throngs of spectators convlused with laughter till the game was begun again. PHI KAPPA DELTA RATS GIVE SMOKER THURSDAY NIGHT The pledges of Phi Kappa Delta fraternity entertained freshmen of the various fraternities on the cam pus at a smoker Thursday night. Thirty freshmen guests were present. When all of the guests had arrived, each freshman arose and introduced himself. Smokes were passed and three tables of bridge were begun. Then came the feature of the program, a contest to see who could tell the best riddle. The wihner was awarded an attractive cigarette lighter. A general bull-session followed, which was concluded when a rat suddenly remembered that be had some studying to do. A wild mob of fifteen hundred students choking with the good old spirit of the real Auburn—thrilled with the thought of the morrow, when the Tiger would grapple with the Bulldog, would fight to the death for the glorification of A. P. I., grand old Auburn— surged through the streets of the town with an unceasing ear-split-ing clamor. Strains of "Touchdown, Auburn!" "Glory, Glory, to Old Auburn" stirred fire and enthusiasm in the hearts of the crowds. Langdon Hall, at last, to begin one of the most glorious mass meetings that Auburn has known. Students in the aisles, Auburn men crowded out the door (but sticking there); literally, the walls bulged. Amid thunderous bursts of applause Coach Bohler gained the stage. He gave a short, snappy, stirring talk, stressing the fact that students, above all, should remember that the Howard visitors are Auburn's guests and must be treated accordingly. He spoke in a confident tone; said that Auburn would have a better team on the field Saturday than heretofore this year. Dr. Knapp was next. After "fifteen snapply ones for Prexy," the (Continued on page 6) 200 Students of Howard Show Great Enthusiasm Howard may be a small institution in a big puddle, but the Bulldog school surely raised a big splash when it migrated to Auburn. Boasting a student body of only about half the size of Auburn's, with most of the students scattered all over Birmingham, Howard has a bunch of the most spirited and enthusiastic students in Alabama. Their display of spirit before and during the game was worthy of high praise. When the Howard train reached Auburn the Red and Black Band formed and led a parade through town. The Howard students followed in cars and on foot. Nt to be outdone, the Auburnites fell in behind and made it a "two-party" affair. The band marched through the main gate, across the campus to the gym. Immediately College street became a gay medley of orange and blue, and red and black streamers. Deep-throated yells from Auburn and Howard reverberated back and forth across the campus. Auburn takes this opportunity to say that Howard College is "all there" when it comes to that old time spirit, which really makes a school. TIGERS STAGE COMEBACK AND DISPLAY FINE SPIRIT TO HOWARD'S AMAZEMENT Auburn shows greatly improved offensive as she sweeps over Howard for first victory of the year. ..Ingram makes first tally of the year for A. P. I. when he receives pass from Tuxworth and runs fifty yards for a touchdown. Tuxworth plays spectacular game, going over right end for consistent gains. Van Buskirk runs through Plainsmen and goes over right end for seventy-five yards and a touchdown. Auburn uses aerial attack to great advantage, two of Auburn's touchdowns coming as a result of completed passes. Game marked by few fumbles and many penalties for both teams. ..Auburn students show greater spirit than ever before. Howard co-ed's soprano voices combined with Howard's band to produce harmonious discord. JOHN DEARMAN DIES AT HOME PARKING SPACE IS MARKED OFF NEAR LANGDON HALL In the space between the Administration Building and Langdon Hall and behind the former, parking spaces have been marked off by white lines. Students and others are requested to park their cars in these spaces in order that there will be less congestion in this place. LOST White and black setter, brown mouth, on collar, H. D. Jones. Answers to name of Kate. Reward for return to A. D. Lipscomb at Tiger Drug Store. Early Tuesday morning, October 23, two members of the Junior class, Mr. Wilbur Dearman and Mrs. Laura Dearman Wise, were called out of the Village on account of the death of their father, Mr. John A. Dearman, of York, Alabama. Mr. Harry Wise accompanied them on the mission to York and returned to Auburn Thurs day. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the home of the ddeceased, and the body was interred at the family cemetery. Mr. Dearman was survived by his wife and thirteen children. Of these thirteen the older ones have already received a college or normal school education and the three youngest ones have been provided for such by a trust fund left by the father. FIRST REVIEW OF YEAR LOOKS GOOD During the regular drill period today, the Military Department staged the first review of the year. The drilling was unusually good for this time of the year.

Johnson, '31 Circulation Mgr. An Opportunity For t h e Senior Class Dr. Knapp has come to Auburn to build a great institution. He has come to take a stagnant school and built it up to be the M. I. T. of the South. He needs the cooperation, not the opposition of everyone. The student body, particularly should throw everything aside, and help him in this work. It seems a pity that he cannot start from a clean foundation and work for Auburn's progress. But he can't. He must first clear away some rubbish which simply won't be in place in the new Auburn. He must destroy an old structure before he can start on the new. The rubbish which is a hinderance to our growth is the abominable practice of shaving the heads oi freshmen and transfers. It has been a drawback in the past; it will be a detriment in the future. But we believe that Dr. Knapp means to clear it away. He wants to build Auburn. Whatever he finds in the way of his progress he will remove. But that will take time, meanwhile delaying progress; it will cause humiliation if he has to use force to abolish hair-cutting; it will discourage him to see a student body refuse to help in something which would benefit them more than it will benefit him. Why not take up this matter without gloves and forever abolish hair-shaving at Auburn? Why not contribute something progressive instead of maintaining a hinderance which eventually must go? Seniors! Why not leave Auburn the better for your having been here? Why not do something which will make your class stand out from the common run of classes? Why not be able to come back ten years hence, see a great institution here, and be able to say, "My class started this prog ress when we abolished hair-cutting"? Whisperings That Are Harmful To Auburn There is a certain element on this campus that tends to destroy as far as possible the ideals and standards of which We proudly boast when we are able to uphold them. When everything else seems to 'g.6 wrong, we invariably fall back upon those things and let it be said to their credit that they have never failed us. When all the world knocks us, when all the friends and followers of Auburn mournfully turn their head, when there is internal strife, we pridefully point to the monumental elements that have made this school, and say, "Don't worry, we'll come through." Yet, in spite of our love for the school—a love and admiration that have undeniably been shown by most of us, we tolerate this group of chronic and incurable gripers? When did the time come to pass that they were allowed to run a school that is being op-erted for the common benefit of all? The time hasn't come to pass, for that, but the time has come to pass for the loyal-students to hurl some or all of these near-sighted mongrels from their mid?^. This disloyal talk is heard every day, and yet some innocent student asks occas-sionally in a timid way whether or not anyone is wagging his tongue in a disastrous manner. We admit that one of the best things for the school is good, clean, constructive criticism, but if there is one thing we despise, it is the kind of destructive criticism that would take the heart and courage out of the bravest. Anyone of us can review the past week's work and can easily recall what someone has said that is not doing the least bit of good, and at the same time is doing no little harm in poisoning the minds of some of the students. What do they say that shouldn't be said? They talk about the football team; they shower down epithets of which only a devil could think on the heads of some; they brag to their friends about how they were able to put over a fast one on somebody. They swear they will never come back to Auburn—if it were only true. They carry stories back to the home people as to how badly Auburn is faring, and on the way home they commit acts that a real Auburn man would not tolerate. These belong to that group that disgraces the name of man on the Auburn campus and at the same time claims that it represents Auburn. And so, we say that it is time for the loyal students to cast these tragic mistakes to the place where they belong—especially from this college. If we can't get them out of the habit of seeing all the bad things about Auburn, let's scorn them, for sometimes scorn is sharper than the shapest of knives. There are many ways by which good results can be obtained, and let's get to the task immediately. Letters to the Editor Octoher 24, 1928. To the Editor of the Plainsman, Dear Editor: There are a few words that need to be said regarding the manner in which some hundred or so students lost their Athletic Books last Saturday. These books were taken without the permission of those who held them and if there is a law in Alabama that gives one person a right to take by force from another person, property that does not belong to him, we have not heard of that law. Of course we are not lawyers and if such a law does exist the above statement is not justified. If "snatching" must be done, men who show discretion should be chosen by those in authority. It seems, from the results of Saturday's "haul," that the gate keepers' motto was "ladies first." One of the men snatched a book from a lady's hand with the explanation that, "Mr. can obtain his book at the gym in Auburn." This unfortunate student applied at the gym on the morning of October 24th for his property and was told that the books would not be returned to the owners. These students paid seven dollars and fifty cents for their Athletic Books on registering at Auburn. To date, only four of the fifteen coupons have been used. Now in all fair-mindedness we ask, "is it not right that the college refund the balance of $6.50 to the student for revoking his athletic privileges?" Theatres and moving picture houses are required by law to return the purchase price of an admission ticket to the patron if he is asked to leave. In spite of the action taken by the athletic department, we feel sure that these hundred or more students will continue to support the team whenever it is possible for them to attend. Very sincerely yours, W. M. GARRARD, '29 K. W. BEWIG, '29 Editor The Plainsman: "She Stoops to Conquer." Ah, but no. Not this time because all hope of conquering is gone. Even though, one did stoop, could he expect to conquer after being struck down by cruel and heartless letters, 'such as were written by Mr. Kahn and Mr.. Shaekleford? Even though I am beat down, my body ja wounded and bleeding from the attack,, I shall arise and brace myself for my dying effort;. My thrusts are becoming wild and-weaker, so I know that my end must be near. . .- •'The' small!attempt that I made t o point. out some of the errors in what we call the Auburn Spirit seems to have started something rather like a snowball. The farther a snowball rolls the larger it gets, but the farther this discussion of my letter gets, the smaller, it gets. Abo the snow seems to be gone and the ball is picking up thorns and weeds. And another thing, the hit dog always howls, but-what is a howl if it is not .an intelligent one? Not once have I criticised the whole-someness and loyalty of,the REAL Auburn Spirit. But'the puerile, beastly, even cowardly public demonstrations of the Auburn Spirit, by far outwejght those incidents where the real Spirit of loyalty and manliness is displayed.. For example take, the incident of the'Auburn upperciassmen who-trampled the'hat of an old Auburn gradu: ate in Montgomery, the day of the Birmingham- Southern game. That is the kind of boy that is training and hazing our freshmen; he is the one that is making gentlemen of our first year men. Perhaps these boys are a minority group, but there is no excuse for any such group, however small it may be. One reason that causes me to turn back is that I have concluded that one can't learn everything at college, one must have something upon which to build before coming to college. Mr. Kahn believes that Auburn will grow and develop into a great institution if everyone adopted the "Laissez-Faire" attitude. Our President does not think so. The public readily sees and appreciates the good points about Auburn, so why bother about them. The public also, even more readily, sees and is disgusted with the bad points. Ten worthless and obnoxious qualities will counteract a hundred good ones. It is the ten that my soul crises out against. There, there, I'm about to get serious and that would never do. Thou knowest dear Editor that I snickereth up my sleeve, as it were. Also my name is not Ivanhoe Silva it is MacDonald Ivonovitch. Ah, I'm growing weeker. I stooped but did not conquer.

Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The Plainsman, in its last issue, made it appear as though I had made the full decision about the selling of student tickets. The decision was actually made by the Athletic Council after due discussion. I voted as a member of the Athletic Council and believe the decision was entirely right. I make this statement for the sole purpose of keeping the record straight. I try always to work with and through organizations having the administration of matters assigned to each such organization. That was done in this case. * * * * * Nights are getting cooler and a fire in the grate begins to feel sort of comfortable and home-like. Scholarship ought to increase under such circumstances. There is no better time to study than a quiet evening with a gentle fire in the grate, a well-shaded lamp which throws the light on your book but not fin your face, a good sturdy table and a straight backed chair. That is the way to "dig it out." * * * * * Where and how do you get your education in college? Not all of college education comes from class room, laboratory, library and shop. Not all of it comes from the formal work of the teacher. A large part of education comes from associates, friends, boon-companions, from personal contacts with faculty when they are "off-duty" and acting as men and not as teachers, from examples seen, from crowd psychology, from "atmosphere," from habits formed almost .unconsciously. No, the "leading out. process" is not all -from books, that is sure....

The sky was a dark, limitless void, broken now and then by low, scudding rain clouds: A silent, eerie figure crept to the edge of the ghostly wood.

A rope was thrown over the lowest limb of the tree and the would-be suicide climbed up to the ranch with one end of the rope tied about his neck. Now came the supreme test.

BOOK REVIEW ALL KNEELING By Anne Parrish New York: Harper & Brothers. 1928. $2.50 Herschel Brickell does not deny himself the opportunity for making some very decided complimentary criticisms of Ann Par-rish's new book, "All Kneeling". He comments at some length the virtues of this novel in the Saturday Review of Literature of September 15, 1928. Jt is the first choice of the Book Selection Committee, composed of prominent booksellers and critics. This reviewer did not find Miss Parrish's new novel of absorbing interest, and "while he is willing to admit the author's cleverness in satirical writing and her mastery of an effective, if mannered, style, reading the book was too much like devouring;*; large howl of something pleasantly tart; to the taste through several spoonsful, but with no va-riey and no. surprises and therefore quite monotonous, ; -..;-— : : -.:....:.;:- Miss. -Parrish's new novel imakes- its %ew-tfi. the.-public- wearing- the:wreath of- The American -1Booksellers-- Association.- -«Iii- .thearyr-at Jeast, -it is-the outstanding-noVeT for September, and as such is supposed to have the backing of the members of that organization. "All Kneeling" is the portrait of an ego* centric, Christable Caine, born beautiful and hiding a complete selfishness behind her fragile good looks—her fragility as much a j>ose as her devotion to the happiness of others—who wrote a book of verse quite early in life, and on the-strength of its false reputation, went off to New York to be Bohemian, and eventually become the wife of a rich man. . I think:what.. I mind mostabout'"All Kneeling" is .the completely static "quality ofrits characters.. Christabel is revealed fully and completely in- <** * i r * * e w chapters, and to the last word there is no evidence .of change, so that the reader continues, to hear the same thing about the character in different words—she revolves slowly upon a pedestal with Time as the motor, while her creator points out the utter detestability that lies beneath the agreeable surface. Perhaps the satirist is not required to make his people live and breathe, but the novelist must, and Christable has no reality for this reader. As for the rest of the cast in this acid comedy, Miss Parrish has sketched them in with a few strokes, some of them with an easy skill, others with the limit of impressionism, so that the whole takes on an aloof and curiously theatrical air. It is all very clever but there are 320 pages of it, even though the pages are wide of margin and large of type. Christabel continues her literary career after she marries her rich young man, and Miss Parish makes merry at the expense of silly reviewers and the rest of the hangers- on of the writing business. She is dangerously explicit at times; for example, if we were still playing those question and. answer games of a season or. so ago, what alert person could tell us the name of the leading candidate for this ihaft; ' . But.I fear^ypu will.:never become a...; " 7 really .g^at whimsical writer, because ',/yo.u can't very well be photographed. smoking a pipe. . . . There is something else that needs to be called perhaps and it is that Miss Parrish used the theme of "All Kneeling" in "A Picketfull of Poses." Her new book, on the whole, is of less consequence as a piece of fiction- than "Tomorrow Morning" and I don't think it comes near the soundness of "The Perennial Bachelor," over the solidity of which played agreeably the bright, glittering style of Miss Parrish. The birghtness and. the glitter seem to have become more than a little tinselly in "All Kneeling." . •.. - ' With Miss.Parrjsh's thesis,iif one-;may impute' a 'thesis to .her,, that writing,Vas-Br the case of Christjibel, is nothing-more than-' exnibitipni'sm and an inevitable display of the vanity of the writer, I have no quarrel. Since she has so courageously laid bare the secrets of a poet-novelist, the only courteous response for some reviewer to make is to write a satire upon his profession. Or does it need satirizing? MEDITATIONS O N THIS A N D T H AT IBy ^Benjamin Trovost~ EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this- paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * * THE FIRST QUARTER of the twentieth century has been a period of emancipation from hidebound tradition and custom. The masses are learning to reason, to do things which are rational and to ignore-'customs which.are not founded on reason. To foliQwe foolish custom simply because it AS- traditional when reason dictates d different course is to class one's self as a mid-Victorian or as a person unaffected by reason. Psychology says that man differs from the brute only in that the brute cannot rationalize, while man is endowed with a working brain. If man is to maintain this superiority it behooves him to exercise his ability to think. It is my thesis that the man who frankly refuses to use the brain which is his precious heritage is guilty or criminal negligence. To advocate a positively harmful, useless, outworn, unprogressive custom simply because it is a tradition is to refuse to follow the guidance of the intellect. * * * * ' * NOW TO GET to the point: this traditional Old Auburn Custom of shaving each freshman and transfer like convicts is detrimental to the school. It has absolutely no excuse for being, except that it is an old custom. It is an important factor to be considered in seeking an explanation for Auburn's failure to grow in the last ten years. It will be a drawback to the progress which we expect Auburn to make. " Why, in the name of Omar and the other Chinese deities can't we recognize this and throw the practice overboard? Mutilation of the body and other heathen practices can be overlooked on the part of South Sea Islanders. College men should know better. * * * * • I'm beginning to get out of patience with this talk about continuing hair-cutting because it is an Old Custom. What if it is? That's just one more reason to abolish it. Old bunk is much worse than new bunk. It has lost its novelty. It used to be a sacred tradition that a true southerner would kill a man who reflected upon his honor. That was a heathen custom. Are we any worse off for having discarded it? It used to be the custom for suitors to ask a girl's parents for permission to marry her. Are we not taking a more intelligent attitude by abandoning such a foolish practice? * * * * * IT IS HIGH TIME that we men of the class of 1929 do something about hair-cutting. First, we need to take a little time off and apply pur brains to the question. Just a little thought on the subject would change many seniors' view of the matter. A little thought will convince any man that the practice should be abolished. I have no fear that the class will refuse to act, provided a majority of the members use their brains on it. We will never get anywhere chirping meaninglessly about Old Auburn Customs. Hokum, hooie,. hot-air, bunk, sauce de yomme, and other expressions meaning that I don't think so much of such a weak excuse for continuing a harmful, foolish and out-worn practice. «-'"* * * * . . . . . - I have a class under an instructor who . persists in pronouncing the word data^as. if it rimed with matter.

I have a theory that an instructor can stand .before a class for a whole session and say absolutely nothing, yet phrase his remarks effectively, and the class would profit;by hearing correct grammar. Too many of them say a great deal, but express it so badly that half the effect is lost. If I ever lose my mind, it will happen in a class where I'm forced to listen to an instructor mispronounce words. There ought to be a law against them.

M SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1928 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE GIVES ANALYSIS OF STUDENT GRADES (Continued from Thursday issue) Among the reasons for the low freshmen average should be included the difficulty first-year students find in getting adjusted to college environment, to new methods of instruction, to the absence of parental encouragement, and to the detraction from work of the multifarious campus activities. However, it is significant that some 160 fraternity freshmen averaged 71.97, while non-fraternity freshmen, numbering 230, averaged 74.45, or 2.48 points higher. Thirty-six fraternity pledges averaged only 69.54. Freshman sorority women on the other hand, averaged 79.66—or 7.67 points higher than freshman fraternity men, and sorority pledges averaged 82.8. That fraternity men should be the weak group in the freshman class and that they lower the averages of the individual fraternities and of the student body as a whole, is a matter of concern to many. It is not to be implied that no conscious effort is being exerted on the part of some groups to better their scholastic standing. Indeed, a comparison of the second with the first semester averages shows gains by fifteen groups and losses by only thirteen. Few of the chapters have so drunk of the hemlock that they are not sensitive to ranking lower in scholarship than other fraternities. Group pride causes the fraternity to strive in scholarship. There may, however, be so many indifferent and sometimes incapable students to be DR. C. L. BOYD, D. D. S. DENTIST Telephone Building Upstair* be urged and carried along by the ambitious members that to gain is practically impossible. One group, the Phi Kappa Tau gained 6.78 points—increasing the first semester average 71.63 to 78.41 for the second semester, and rising from twenty-sixth to ninth place. The members of this group agreed among themselves to set aside a certain number of hours within which they would not only observe quiet but would also indulge in actual study. The Theta Chi fraternity gained 5.31 points, rising eleven places from the lowest in rank and increasing an average of 70.02 to 76.33. Two sororities, two non-Council nationals, and nine members of the Interfraternity Council registered losses in the second semester averages—these losses ranging in points from .19 by the Delta Sigma Phi, to 1.56 by Kappa Sigma, and to 2.72 by the Phi Delta Theta. Fraternities Exhibit New Interest In Scholarship Within the last year or two, leading nationals have devoted much attention to the study of the scholarship of chapter members. Minimum scholarship requirements are prescribed for pledges to attain before initiation, and for both individual members and chapters to make upon penalty of being placed on the inactive list. The Auburn chapter of a prominent national fraternity is threatened with probation if the average shown above is not improved during the first semester of 1928-29. It is moving cautiously in the selection of freshmen pledges in the attempt to get capable students and, so it is reported, some "real study" is going on at the chapter house. National head-quarters are requiring chapters to appoint members of the college faculty as scholarship TOOMER'S HARDWARE The Best in Hardware and Supplies CLINE TAMPLIN, Manager The First National Bank of Auburn ADVICE AND ACCOMMODATION FOR EVERY COLLEGE MAN ANY FINANCIAL OR BUSINESS ASSISTANCE C.

In discussing the activities of the honor society this year Mr. McGhee stated that ODK would sponsor a program that would have a binding effect on the student body and create a spirit of cooperation between members of the lower classes. Details of the work will be published at an early date. It is said that the plans as outlined by the special committees will be of interest to faculty and students alike. The purpose of Omicron Delta Kappa is threefold: To recognize men who have attained a high standard of efficiency in college activities, and to inspire others to strive for conspicuous attainments along similar lines. Second, to bring together the most representative Men in all phases of collegiate life and thus to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interest. Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body of the institution on a basis of mutual interest and understanding. advisors—to advise, encourage, persuade. The college administration has apointed another group of advisers— one for each fraternity—to advise with the fraternity representatives of the college and to provide an official contact between college and fraternity. This action on the part of national headquarters and the college ad ministration will no doubt have a wholesome influence in aiding frater nities to function scholastically as well as socially. The influence of the general interest in fraternity scholarship is reflected in the following eligibility rules passed by the Interfraternity Council in 1927-28: (Article 1. Sections 1 and 2. Pages 5 & 6.) Section 1. In order for a pledge to be initiated at the end of the first semester into any fraternity which is a member of this council, he must have twice as many quality points as the number of credit hours for which he is registered for the first semester (equivalent to a minimum average of 70.) Should he fail to obtain the required number of quality points for the first semester work, he may be initiated at the end of the second mid-semester provided he has two and one half times as many quality points as the number of college credit hours for which he is registered. Section 2. A student who enters scrool at the beginning of the second semester, must have, at the mid-semester, two and one-half times as many quality points as the number of college credit hours for which he is registered, in order to be initiated into any fraternity which is a member of this council. Improvement in Scholarship Auburn's Big Problem It is true that this increased interest on the part of fraternities will do much toward bringing about a general improvement in scholarship at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Alumni and parents can, in diverse ways, exert a wholesome influence. Some instructors may aid considerably by setting higher standards for students to attain. Others can encourage the student by pointing out the pleasures of scholarly pursuits. Most will depend upon the attitude and efforts of the students themselves.- Many Auburn students have had the idea that to cultivate sociability rather than scholarship is the aim of college life. Consequently these have gone on 'eating, drinking, and making merry,' so to speak, with little thought for the morrow! The average Auburn student is by nature sociable and hardly needs to stress the cultivation of sociability. Many, however, are not by nature scholarly, and should cultivate this quality more. A sentiment which seems to be growing, but which is a t present conspicious-ly rare might be stated as follows: that they are here primarily for the purpose of getting facts and learning methods and habits of study to aid in earning a livlihood and in living life to its fullest after college years are over; that reading, discussing, and reflecting upon books on science, literature and philosophy, is genuine pleasure; that it is possible to better understand the world in which they live; that libraries are to be used; and that it is honorable to learn. Then Auburn might claim a still higher place among the institutions of learning. STUDENTS ATTEND B. S. U. CONFERENCE A baker's dozen Auburn students attended the Baptist Student Union Conference held at Judson beginning Friday and continuing through today. With aim and keynote of the gathering being: "Magnify Christ, the Master, student representatives from all Alabama clleges met for three days of concerted action in keeping with the above motto. Auburn representatives, which included leaders in the field of Baptist work here on the campus, were: C. E. Candell, Miss Ruth Frisbie, Miss Lu-cile Burson, Roy Sellers, J. R. Car-reker, Miss Mary Johnson, G. W. Miller, P. L. Wright, M. A. Jones, W. G. Little, S. A. Willims, O. C. Moore, and T. H. LeCroy. Miss Mary Lee Mansfield of Judson College was in charge of the arrangement on this occasion; the Harvard Plan of entertainment was employed. Miss Lucile Llody, State B.Y.P.U. chairman and enthusiastic worker among Alabama colleges who is well known on the Auburn campus, was prominent in the activities at this convention. Baptist Student Union work in this state is being promoted by the Department of Southern Baptist Student work, of which Frank H. Lea-veil of Nashville is executive secretary. All Baptist students registering at Auburn automatically become members of the B. S. U. upon registration. The work of this organization is very progressive, being recognized among the livliest in the state. BLIND LAWYER WINS HIS CASE Marvin Shannon, blind ex-student of the University of Texas School of Law, has won his first case in court. He was just recently admitted to the bar. Members of the Tarrant county bar association remarked on the unusual ability displayed by Shannon, and declared that his courtroom tactics marked him as a coming trial lawyer of northern Texas. Shannon lost his eyesight while attending high school, and later graduated from the State School for the Blind after which he entered the University of Texas School of Law, where he was an honor student. Physicians Pick Student Give Blood For Negro Fred Shaw, of Tif ton, a sophomore of Mercer university gave his blood in transfusion this week to Lee Battle, aged Negro servant of the university. Lee has been at the Macon hospital in a weakened condition for several days following an operation. It became necessary for the Negro to have more blood. An appeal was made in the chapel Tuesday and about 20 students volunteered. Tests were made and Mr. Shaw's blood was found suitable. He gave a pint of the life fluid. Lee Battle has been employed by the university for 29 years, and it is said that he knows personally every man who has graduated from Mercer in that time. He is known as the "friend of the alumni and the freshmen." At athletic games Lee has always been on the side sidelines, giving encouragement to the team and the spectators. It has become a tradition at Mercer for the Negro to make speeches and yell "whoopee" between periods of football and basketball games. Mr. Shaw was one of the first to respond when it was learned that a transfusion would be necessary to strengthen Lee for another operation. He had his blood tested and waited expectantly until he was called. Asked why he volunteered to aid the Negro, the student said, "I did it from a sense of duty. I would give my blood to save anybody's life-" Dr. W. W. Baxley, house physician at the Macon hospital, will accomplish the transfusion. GREAT DEMAND FOR HOME ECONOMICS TEACHERS IN ALA. The demand for teachers of home economics in Alabama far exceeds the supply. During the past summer there were more than 100 openings for teachers prepared in this field in the high schools in Alabama and the demand was by no means supplied. This is the statement made Thursday by Miss Louise P. Glanton, head of the home economics department at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Miss Glanton says that every year there are more and more schools taking up vocational work, with the result that there is a larger field, of opportunity for young momen of good training in home economics. Of the 17 young ladies to graduate from Auburn in home economics last June, 14 are now teaching these courses in high schools over the state and elsewhere, continued Miss Glanton. Four of these young ladies are now serving as home demonstration agents. They are: Miss Namie Mathews, Henry County; Miss Clara Nale, Franklin; Miss Cinthia Lester, Conecuh; and Mrs. W. G. Pruett, Houston. Even though these young women had had no previous high school teach-in experience Miss Glanton stated that she had no difficulty in placing them in good positions, paying attractive salaries. That the Department of Home Economics is efficient in its preparation of teachers is evidenced by the immediate location in responsible positions of those young women graduating in this division of the college. Nine other members of the class of '28 who are now teaching home economics are: Miss Olive Gibbons Wyatt, San Antonio Texas; Mrs. Eva Godsey, Leroy, Ala; Miss Carrie Hester, Double Springs, Ala; Miss Lillian Dunn, Russelville, Ala.; Miss Linnie Cline, Jemison, Ala.; Miss Irene Fletcher, Crossville, Ala.; Miss Vera Is-bell, Alexandria; Miss Eunice Stinnett, Ramer, Ala.; and Miss Clara Briscoe, Danville.

The scrubs displayed a fast brand of football in downing the Benning aggregation, and the game was hard fought and interesting throughout. Auburn took to the air in the first quarter and continued to use an overhead attack for the remainder of the game. Three of the four touchdowns chalked up by the Tiger Cubs were the result of this passing attack. The Auburnites scored their first marker about the middle of the first quarter, after a sustained drive down the field had placed the ball on Ben-nings' 12 yard line. Jones passed to Sellers who ran about 8 yards to score the initial touchdown. Ingram failed in an attempt to add the extra point from placement. The second touchdown was the result of a similar drive near the close of the first half with Granger going over the goal line for the score. Sellers failed to kick goal. The half ended with Auburn leading 12 to 0. In the third quarter Auburn completed 7 passes out of/10 attempted, one long heave from Wingo to Du- Bose netting 45 yards. A minute later Wingo tossed another one to DuBose for a touchdown. A pass for the ext r a point was incomplete but Benning was off-side on the play and the point counted. The Soldiers kicked off and on the third play "Stumpy" Granger broke through the line for a 40 yard gallop down the sideline. Another touchdown seemed certain but Auburn fumbled and Johnson recovered for Benning on his own 20 yard line. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Malone of Auburn intercepted a pass and made a beautiful 40 yard run through the entire Benning team but fumbled as he crossed goal line and the Soldiers recovered. The referee called the play a touchback and the ball was brought out to the 20 yard line. The Soldiers failed to gain on three line plays and Hampshire punted to Jones who lugged the ball back to the 30 yard line. Carter made 6 over tackle and on the next play Jones passed to Malone who stepped the remaining 20 yards for a touchdown. The Soldiers took to the air in the closing minutes in a vain attempt to score but Frazier intercepted a long heave as the game ended. Coach Bohler used nearly thirty men in the game and each one gave a good account of himself. Harper, Benning fullback, put up a great exhibition of defensive football and made the majority of his team's tackles. Romploski was the big gun in the Soldier's offense. - Lineup: AUBURN Shannon Herrin Paul Cunningham Hall Gerber Ingram Jones Carter Sellers Chamblee FT.

Engineers Fight to 0-0 Tie With First Battalion In Initial Gridiron Contest SPORTS STUFF By Howard Sparks Although the score was tied at 0 to 0, the Engineers defeated the Artillery by virture of five first downs to one. The teams fought on even terms in the first three quarters the the Engineers, with the assistance of a heavy penalty, started a drive which carried them to the one-yard line. On the next play a bad pass from center After an exchange of punts the En-gineers recovered for an 18 yard loss. After an evchange of punts the Engineers took the ball and started another drive which might have netted a touchdown but for the short length of time left. For the Engineers, Rose did the best work in the line and Green and Sha-bel were the main dogs of the back-field. Shabel did some fine work in ramming the line. Hayes at center turned in a good defensive game. Cameron, at quarter, and Dyer at half, turned in the hest game for the At.

By "Dusty" Porter Over at Alabama they seem to be having quite a bit of trouble in keeping the spirit in the Crimson camp, that is necessary to win football games. One or two men have been giving Coach Wade trouble since the beginning of the year in keeping the morale of the team just where it must be to assure victory. It is a shame that a team as the "Crimson" machine showed promise of being, must be hampered by the action of a few players. Brasfield, one of the oustanding backs in Southern football last year has received his second suspension from Coach Wade this year, and Deal, one of the most promising backs on the Crimson aggregation has also been suspended for non-observance of the training rules that are necessary in the success of a football team. Let's hope that these difficulties can be straightened out, and two of the prominent "Cogs" of the Crimson machine will be seen in action for the "Tide" before the curtain falls. * * * * * One of the most unusual occur-ances in Southern football was dished out to the fans in South Carolina this week. The Clemson outfit gave battle to the "Gamecocks" from South Carolina Thursday at 12:00 and the Tigers from Clemson must have gotten the Dinner bell and the Referees whistle mixed up. Going into the game as a decided loser, they reversed the side of the ledger and chalked up a 32 to 0 score over the same team that put the rollers under the University of Chicago. Still some of us think we are darn good in picking the winners. Especially "Oswald." Friday night the ghost of Auburn that reigned supreme in Southern football not so many years ago slipped into Langdon Hall and is now in the hearts of the Auburn students, and the spirit that no other stud, nt body can boast of is back to stay in its original birth place. When this article is being printed the Alumni will be rejoicing on Drake Field, that the spirit of Old Auburn is back, and with such Hell and all its disciples can't budge us. We are Right. The team is right. Bohler is Right. In fact the whole "Cock-eyed Village" is right. LET'S GO AUBURN. * * * * * Georgia Tech, must be considered the luckiest team in the Southern Conference, going through the hard fought battle with Notre Dame without receiving one serious injury. But a team that trains and fights hard is not subject to very many losses by injuries, and Tech must be in good condition. By Dick Jones Coach George M. Bohler's passes are thrown left to right as they prove to be the most successful play the Tigers have ever attempted to use. It can be truthfully said that Bohler's dreams of having a passing team came true Friday afternoon when the scrubs defeated the First Battalion of the 29th Infantry of Fort Benning, on Drake field by gaining more yardage in the air than on the ground. These Tiger scrubs completed twelve out of inneteen passes that were thrown making two touchdowns from two of them. The average yardage gained from the nineteen passes was 12 yards to every pass attempted. The total number of yards gained in all in the air was over 220 yards. Bohler leaves it up to the quarterbacks to run the team and in a game they certainly ran it in fine style Friday. Coach Bohler picked out his best all around men for the quarterback berth and they also proved to be all around men in this game against the Army boys. Chamblee started off the game at quarterback and held it down for the whole first half performing in high style. Chamblee not only ran the team in good fashion, but gained his part of the yardage. Several times he got loose through the line for some nice gains from 5 to 15 yards and threw passes for a gain on every attempt. Wingo took the quarterback post from Chamblee and also held it down in fine style until he was relieved by Jones in the last quarter who threw the longest passes. Wingo threw eight passes, completing five of them for a total gain of 62 yards with one of them being caught over the goal line by Frank DuBose for the Tigers third Touchdown. Jones completed four out of the six passes he threw gaining 105 yards with one of them being called back because Auburn was off sides. One of Jones' passes counted for the six points made in the last quarter when Auburn had the ball on Benning's 40- yard line and Jones passed 20 yards to Malone who made a broken field run for the last 20 yards. The gridders on the receiving end of these passes were DuBose, Creel, Crowe, Shannon, Sellers, Ingram, and Malone. These men showed fine style in pulling them down out of the ozone at all times.

NOT. 29—Georgia Tech. —Montgomery (Night game) —Auburn —Gainesville —Birmingham —Auburn —Columbus —New Orleans —Birmingham —Atlanta By Carol Porter Thursday afternoon the second and third Battalions locked horns on the "Rat" football field, and for about fifty minutes of fun. Dust and footballs were flying in every direction, and not for one minute did these wearers of the yellow and white jerseys let the excitement die. The second Battallion players were clad in the bright yellow jerseys, but this yellow was only as deep as the jersey was thick. The third Battallion wore the white jersey, but not as a truce flag by any means. Promptly at three-forty-five the two teams strolled on the field, forgetting that they were in the same school, or the same army together until the game was over. The yellows elected to kick, and the game was on. The whites received the kick-off on their 20-yard line, where they were downed without any return. After testing the yellow line with two plays and no yardage and one pass falling dead, Lively drops back and punts to mid-field, where the yellows fumbled and the whites recovered. After several plays failed to gain the required yardage the ball goes over, and the yellows punted on first down and caught the whites napping and the punt rolled to the 7 yd line where it was grounded by the yellow players. The whites punted on the first down to mid-field apparently out of danger, but the yellows pulled off a pass at this point that still has the spectators wondering just how it came about, a pass to the right end was slapped and juggle'd about from one end of the line to the other slighting no one, and assuming that the fun had continued long enough, young Arnold, a yellow half back strolls in and picks the ball from the air and leisurely gallops 40 yards for a touchdown. Then a pass for extra point was unsuccessful. The yellows take the lead, but the whites resort to passing attack, one netting 50 yards, and another for 10 yards places the ball one the yellow's 8 yard line, and after two line plays go for naught, a pass to the left end was good for a touchdown. They failed to kick goal, but the yellows were offside and the point was good. Score: Yellows 6, Whites 7. After several marches up and down the field with the yellows in scoring position several time but unable to go over. After working ball down to the 10 yard line on hard clean football, the yellows fumbled on an attempted forward pass, Allen, a White lineman recovers and runs 90 yards for a touchdown. The kick for extra point fails and the scoring for the day ends. Whites 13; Yellows 6. For the whites, Lewis and Lively were unusually good in advancing the pigskin. Snider did some good work for the losers. The yellow's forward wall and the white backfield were the outstanding features of each team.

Dunham had his prep school training at Jones Valley High School at Pow-derly, Alabama, where he was prominent in football and baseball for four years. Dunham is playing his first year in the varsity ranks, holding down the center post for the tigers, and has been giving a good account of himself in the early games, and should improve greatly before the year is over. He is a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. Past Scores of Auburn- Howard Gridiron Games By Dick Jones Past records of the Auburn-Howard games shows that Auburn has averaged 34% points to every game while Howard has averaged only 2% points.

Wideberg, Auburn graduated with the class of 1920, has been promoted to a district superintenden-cy with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company of New York City, effective November first. This position gives Mr. Wideberg the distinction of being decidedly the youngest company superintendent in the entire city of New York. After finishing his work at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Wide-burg was for two years with the Southern Bell Telephone Company. He then received an appointment with the Detroit Telephone Company where he served with marked success for some three years. Later he became a superintendent with the Peninsula Telephone Company with his office at Tampa, Florida, and in the spring of this year he entered the ranks of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in New York City. In 1922 Mr. Wideberg was married to Miss Mary Crenshaw, Auburn graduate with the class of 1917, and daughter of Professor B. H. Crenshaw, '89, head professor of mathematics. Four Universities Closed After Riot A government order closing four universities, a bitter parliamentary debated ending in a challenge to duel, 140 arrests and numerous minor casualties were the products of renewed anti-Semetic riots in Budapest, Hungary Wednesday. Students and workmen fought bitterly, police charged crowds viciously and government adherents alleged that the students were aiming to overthrow the government of Count Stefan Be-thlen, prime minister. The order closing the four universities will be effective until after an official investigation has been completed. The outbreaks among the students started several weeks ago when they alleged that the government was foisting upon the institutions a greater proportion of Jewish students than was allowed by law. The riots caused a stormy parliamentary debate. The opposition parties charged that the government was responsible for the whole situation and one of the deputies, a Dr. Fabian, alleged that the riots had been engendered by an under-secretary in the Department of the Interior. He said this official had sent secret orders to the students, telling them to attack the Jews. He added that innocent persons had been assassinated and their slayers permitted to escape. Amidst the uproar created by these charges, the minister of the interior, Bela Scitoszky de Nagyker, made himself heard and called upon Dr. Fabian to produce the evidence upon which his allegations were based. The deputy failed to do so and was suspended from the house by the speaker. Then the under-secretary challenged him to a duel. Japanese Plan New Inverted Skyscraper In defiance of earthquakes the Japanese have designed a downstairs skyscraper, 80 stories deep, to be built 1,100 feet down into the earth. This project is planned for Tokyo where the construction problem is a difficult one on account of the frequency and violence of earth shocks. The proposed structure will cost about eleven million dollars. Special provisions will be made for elevators, electric lights, telephones and ventilating shafts. This project may be accepted as an illustration of the ingenuity and practicability of the Japanese. It almost seems that such an idea should have been originated and carried out in New York or in America, at least. But Japan has made marvelous advances. It has scientists, engineers, architects, construction companies and big business enterprises. The island country has assumed much of the culture and methods of the Western world. Probably the American colleges and universities, which young Japanese students have attended, have had a- significant part in Nippon's progress. Former Montgomery Man To Fly Atlantic When the giant German dirigible, the Graf Zeppelin, points its nose eastward for its return trip to Germany next week a former Montgomery man will be one of the six passengers aboard. He is Joseph D. Jessel, formerly manager of the jewelry department at the Montgomery Fair and now a member of the New York firm, Ullman and Jessel, Inc., makers of ladies dresses. Word of Mr. Jessel's flight over the Atlantic to Europe where he will buy new-styled dresses was received yesterday in a telegram to Morris Marcus, of the Fashion Shop, a friend of Mr. Jessel's. Mr. Jessel was born and grew up in Bellevue in Dallas County. Mr. Ullman was formerly of Selma. Columbia Announces Educational Policy Columbia has announced an educational policy that Utopians had long been advocating, but which sounded too badly devastating for modern university. Briefly it is that requirements for the degree will differ for those interested in scholarship, applied learning, or in receiving a college education. To some simple souls the distinction may not be apparent, but if we interpret it correctly, it is based on the fundamental division of "College students" into those who study for the sake of study, those who study that they may get along in the world, and those who do not study any more than they have to. It takes only clearness of vision to recognize that such a difference of aim exists, but considerable courage is needed to announce it to the world which likes to think its materialistic children go to college to acquire the wisdom of the ages. MRS. WEBSTER PRAISES CURB MARKET MOVEMENT IN ALA. Often it would be better if the speaker were rebuked for dullness instead of reprimanding the audience for inattention. Even highbrows are attracted by the promise of refreshments. A husband's first idea is to protect his wife but it slowly dawns on him that he'll be doing well if he protects himself.

Play the game with the team. Think nothing but that the Auburn team WILL carry that ball across the goal line. Touchdown, Auburn!" The multitude responded. "Beat Howard!" — Glory, Glory" — "We'll beat hell out of 'em"—"Hooray for Prexy!" Then came Nick Carter. He expressed the team's appreciation of the wonderful display of spirit, and assured the audience; "We're going out there to win that game. We won't let them pass us. We'll know that you are with us—pulling for us— fighting, fighting. That'll add to our team 100 per cent." "Puss" Tyler, who with Puryear led the cheers, stirred the students to fever pitch with a short speech. "Who's gonna beat Howard?—"Auburn!"— "Where?"—"Any dam where!" Frank DuBose, last speaker, praised the students for the great mass meeting, and urged that they be equally as good at all times in the future. What? Oh, surely the alumni were there. Thirty of them filed in to the roars of the students. In a group near the stage, they gave three ringing cheers for Bohler, for Auburn students, and for the team. Is this spirit? It's the 100 per cent plus kind. Hi! Hi! Hi! Alumni! Needless to say, Professor Thomas was there. Not Professor, but "Su- TOPMOST VALUE! HEIGHT OF STYLE! STYLES FOR COLLEGE MEN -Charter House -Learbury -Nottingham Fabrics NOW READY FOR YOUR INSPECTION ^ LODIS SAKS Store That the curb market movement in Alabama has resulted in substantial financial benefit to at least one rural family in the state was conclusively proved Thursday when Mrs. J. D. Webster, wife of a prominent Lee County farmer, presented to the Rotary Club a detailed acount of her sales during the first six months at the Auburn curb market. Mrs. Webster stated that for vegetables, poultry, and dairy products sold through the market here she had received $989.51. For the six months her income was as follows: May, $86.04; June, $81.61; July, $200.00; August, $119.39; September, $235.26; and October, $267.22. This money, Mrs. Webster said, was making possible considerable home improvement such as the rearrangement of her kitchen and the "doing over" of several other rooms. Mrs. Webster who leads the participants in the market, stated that this form of selling was of particular benefit to farmers because it created a market for many farm products which heretofore had not been salable, such as fruits, including figs, grapes, and berries, as well as cut flowers, homemade candies, cakes, pies, etc . During the winter she said that although her income would not be so great as during the summer months, still she planned to sell large quantities of dried fruits, canned fruits and vegetables, home-cured meats, lard, sausages, and dairy and poultry products. The curb market has trebled Mrs. Webster's income from these products. Heretofore she said there was no means of selling the small quantities of miscellaneous produce for which she now finds a ready market. Mrs. Webster has sold her products every day since the market has operated save the first day which she missed because of illness. sie," with that eternal spirit; we should add, and with his trumpet. He closed the meeting with "We'll Roll, We'll Roll, We'll Roll the Ball along;" and the crowd marched out to parade en masse behind the band, up and down the streets of Auburn, with a hullerballoo that might have raised the deaf (if there were any around), and then to the drill field. A huge bonfire was started and the throngs of spirit-mad students were making the town resound with their lusty yells when the clock in the towsr struck twelve. DR. T. B. MCDONALD DENTIST Office Over Toomer's Drug Store ROBERTSON'S QUICK LUNCH Open Day and Night The Best that can be bought— Served as well as can be served IS Commerce St. Montgomery, Ala. In addition to the financial aspect of the curb market, Mrs. Webster said that all the women who attended enjoyed making new acquaintances with the many town people whom they had heretofore known only slightly. Dairy products constitute about two-thirds of the income through the curb market, said Mrs. Webster. And although there is greater profit in various truck crops the income is more certain and regular from the dairy products, she said. Miss Mary Bailey, home demonstration agent for Lee County who established the Auburn market, was present at the Rotary meeting and pointed out that the Auburn curb market is an outstanding success. Over $3000 worth of products has been sold since its establishment last May, despite the presence of a larger curb market in Opelika and the preserce of several cotton mill districts in the county where many of the farmers sell their produce direct to consumers. Robert Hudson, prominent Lee County farmer, gave his enthusiastic endorsement of the curb market in Auburn and made the suggestion that delivery service might make the market a bit more convenient to the citizens of Auburn. R. L. Moore, another prominent Lee County farmer, spoke briefly on the advantages of the curb market and expressed his appreciation to the Rotary club for its aid in sponsoring this movement. Miss Bess Fleming, girls club leader for Alabama, addresser the club briefly on the work she is doing with some 11,000 members of these clubs over the state. She gave an interesting account of the International 4-H Club Leadership Training School which she attended in Springfield, Mass. Two guests attending the club with Major John T. Kennedy were E. Zieg-ler and H. Ludlum, both connected with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad at Wilmington, North Carolina. Boys!

GUARD OF HONOR ESCORT DOCTOR AND MRS. KNAPP At the game today a new and most impressive ceremony was inaugurated. When Mr .and Mrs. Bradford Knapp reached Drake Field, they were escorted across the gridiron by a guard of honor, composed of several members of Scabbard and Blade, hon-orairy military society. When the president and his wife ascended to the box of honor, the bodyguard saluted with shining sabers, and marched from the field.

Williams Willams Wellaford Farmer Piper McKinney Goldsmith McKee Graydon Barren Huntsinger NEW ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ADDED Up to this time the Electrical Engineering Laboratory has not really had as much General Electrtic equipment as they should have. This will shortly be remedied for within the next 2 months there will be installed something over $17,000.00 worth of G. E. Company laboratory equipment. This equipment will consist of a laboratory alternator driven by a variable speed motor, a 3 and 6 phase rotary converter with special transformers, 2 D. C. D. C. motor generator sets, 1 synchronous motor direct connected to the two 25 KW, 115 volts, D. C. generator, complete switchboards for the control of all this machinery, a considerable amount of minor apparatus such as special transformers, 3 potential regulators, special induction motor, with condensers, 53 portable instruments of various types and a complete Epstein iron testing apparatus with its accompanying instruments. It is hardly necessary to say that the installation of this apparatus will greatly improve the laboratory instruction. There has just been installed and started a new motor generator set consisting of a 50 HP syn-chnous motor direct connected to a DC 110 volt generator, together with a 2 panel switchboard for its control. At the beginning of the year, Mr. G. H. Carlovitz was elected Associate Prof, of Electrical Engineering and he will have complete charge of Senior lab. work. Mr. R. A. Betts as heretofore will be in charge of Junior Lab. work, assisted by Mr. R. E. Smith. A new day is dawning for the A. P. I. and all departments are being vastly improved by means of the appropriations made by the last meeting of the Legislature. Work Is Begun On Two New Fraternity Homes Auburn will witness the completion of two new fraternity houses on fraternity row sometime in the very near future. The first two houses to be built are those of Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Delta Theta. All houses along fraternity row will be of brick construction, colonial architecture, and will be built at a cost of approximately $30,000 each. The row is to be begun on College Street between Thatch and Miller Avenues, these first two houses being built on the east side of College Street in this block, and will be extended in time to provide space for the various houses to be built later. Auburn has long felt the need of a fraternity row. Heretofore the houses have been and are now scattered here and there about town. With the beginning of this new project an epochal milestone is about to be passed in the beautification of the campus. This grouping together of the fraternity houses will, no doubt, bring about a closer relationship among the fraternities. Work has already been begun on the Delta Sigma Phi house by the contractor, A. C. Fulghrum, of Pen-sacola, Florida. Mr. Fulghrum, incidentally, built Ramsay Hall. The Phi Delta Theta house will be begun within the next week or ten days. These two houses are the first two of the four which will ultimately be built on this block on the east side of College Street. Other fraternities whose plans are completed for new houses are Phi Kappa Delta, A.T.O. and Pi K. A.

The Varsity plays Tulane in New Orleans on this latter date. NOTICE An important meeting of the Senior Class is called for Tuesday morning from 11-12, in Langdon Hall. Rules to govern the rats will be drawn up. All seniors be there. During the intermission between halves at the game today, five lovely Greek dancers tripped the light fantastic to the music of the lute (or was it a clarinet?) Draped in veils of filmy white, the dancers were the picture of perfect grace. They danced and danced as the crowd alternately roared and applauded. Time to break the suspense—the Kappa Kappa Psi national honorary musical fraternity was having its public initiation. The Greek minstrel happened, to be Clarence Meyer. The flitter-flutters were Giddens, Nabors, Cledus Meyer, and Jones. The initiation was a feature of the game, keeping the throngs of spectators convlused with laughter till the game was begun again. PHI KAPPA DELTA RATS GIVE SMOKER THURSDAY NIGHT The pledges of Phi Kappa Delta fraternity entertained freshmen of the various fraternities on the cam pus at a smoker Thursday night. Thirty freshmen guests were present. When all of the guests had arrived, each freshman arose and introduced himself. Smokes were passed and three tables of bridge were begun. Then came the feature of the program, a contest to see who could tell the best riddle. The wihner was awarded an attractive cigarette lighter. A general bull-session followed, which was concluded when a rat suddenly remembered that be had some studying to do. A wild mob of fifteen hundred students choking with the good old spirit of the real Auburn—thrilled with the thought of the morrow, when the Tiger would grapple with the Bulldog, would fight to the death for the glorification of A. P. I., grand old Auburn— surged through the streets of the town with an unceasing ear-split-ing clamor. Strains of "Touchdown, Auburn!" "Glory, Glory, to Old Auburn" stirred fire and enthusiasm in the hearts of the crowds. Langdon Hall, at last, to begin one of the most glorious mass meetings that Auburn has known. Students in the aisles, Auburn men crowded out the door (but sticking there); literally, the walls bulged. Amid thunderous bursts of applause Coach Bohler gained the stage. He gave a short, snappy, stirring talk, stressing the fact that students, above all, should remember that the Howard visitors are Auburn's guests and must be treated accordingly. He spoke in a confident tone; said that Auburn would have a better team on the field Saturday than heretofore this year. Dr. Knapp was next. After "fifteen snapply ones for Prexy," the (Continued on page 6) 200 Students of Howard Show Great Enthusiasm Howard may be a small institution in a big puddle, but the Bulldog school surely raised a big splash when it migrated to Auburn. Boasting a student body of only about half the size of Auburn's, with most of the students scattered all over Birmingham, Howard has a bunch of the most spirited and enthusiastic students in Alabama. Their display of spirit before and during the game was worthy of high praise. When the Howard train reached Auburn the Red and Black Band formed and led a parade through town. The Howard students followed in cars and on foot. Nt to be outdone, the Auburnites fell in behind and made it a "two-party" affair. The band marched through the main gate, across the campus to the gym. Immediately College street became a gay medley of orange and blue, and red and black streamers. Deep-throated yells from Auburn and Howard reverberated back and forth across the campus. Auburn takes this opportunity to say that Howard College is "all there" when it comes to that old time spirit, which really makes a school. TIGERS STAGE COMEBACK AND DISPLAY FINE SPIRIT TO HOWARD'S AMAZEMENT Auburn shows greatly improved offensive as she sweeps over Howard for first victory of the year. ..Ingram makes first tally of the year for A. P. I. when he receives pass from Tuxworth and runs fifty yards for a touchdown. Tuxworth plays spectacular game, going over right end for consistent gains. Van Buskirk runs through Plainsmen and goes over right end for seventy-five yards and a touchdown. Auburn uses aerial attack to great advantage, two of Auburn's touchdowns coming as a result of completed passes. Game marked by few fumbles and many penalties for both teams. ..Auburn students show greater spirit than ever before. Howard co-ed's soprano voices combined with Howard's band to produce harmonious discord. JOHN DEARMAN DIES AT HOME PARKING SPACE IS MARKED OFF NEAR LANGDON HALL In the space between the Administration Building and Langdon Hall and behind the former, parking spaces have been marked off by white lines. Students and others are requested to park their cars in these spaces in order that there will be less congestion in this place. LOST White and black setter, brown mouth, on collar, H. D. Jones. Answers to name of Kate. Reward for return to A. D. Lipscomb at Tiger Drug Store. Early Tuesday morning, October 23, two members of the Junior class, Mr. Wilbur Dearman and Mrs. Laura Dearman Wise, were called out of the Village on account of the death of their father, Mr. John A. Dearman, of York, Alabama. Mr. Harry Wise accompanied them on the mission to York and returned to Auburn Thurs day. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the home of the ddeceased, and the body was interred at the family cemetery. Mr. Dearman was survived by his wife and thirteen children. Of these thirteen the older ones have already received a college or normal school education and the three youngest ones have been provided for such by a trust fund left by the father. FIRST REVIEW OF YEAR LOOKS GOOD During the regular drill period today, the Military Department staged the first review of the year. The drilling was unusually good for this time of the year.

Johnson, '31 Circulation Mgr. An Opportunity For t h e Senior Class Dr. Knapp has come to Auburn to build a great institution. He has come to take a stagnant school and built it up to be the M. I. T. of the South. He needs the cooperation, not the opposition of everyone. The student body, particularly should throw everything aside, and help him in this work. It seems a pity that he cannot start from a clean foundation and work for Auburn's progress. But he can't. He must first clear away some rubbish which simply won't be in place in the new Auburn. He must destroy an old structure before he can start on the new. The rubbish which is a hinderance to our growth is the abominable practice of shaving the heads oi freshmen and transfers. It has been a drawback in the past; it will be a detriment in the future. But we believe that Dr. Knapp means to clear it away. He wants to build Auburn. Whatever he finds in the way of his progress he will remove. But that will take time, meanwhile delaying progress; it will cause humiliation if he has to use force to abolish hair-cutting; it will discourage him to see a student body refuse to help in something which would benefit them more than it will benefit him. Why not take up this matter without gloves and forever abolish hair-shaving at Auburn? Why not contribute something progressive instead of maintaining a hinderance which eventually must go? Seniors! Why not leave Auburn the better for your having been here? Why not do something which will make your class stand out from the common run of classes? Why not be able to come back ten years hence, see a great institution here, and be able to say, "My class started this prog ress when we abolished hair-cutting"? Whisperings That Are Harmful To Auburn There is a certain element on this campus that tends to destroy as far as possible the ideals and standards of which We proudly boast when we are able to uphold them. When everything else seems to 'g.6 wrong, we invariably fall back upon those things and let it be said to their credit that they have never failed us. When all the world knocks us, when all the friends and followers of Auburn mournfully turn their head, when there is internal strife, we pridefully point to the monumental elements that have made this school, and say, "Don't worry, we'll come through." Yet, in spite of our love for the school—a love and admiration that have undeniably been shown by most of us, we tolerate this group of chronic and incurable gripers? When did the time come to pass that they were allowed to run a school that is being op-erted for the common benefit of all? The time hasn't come to pass, for that, but the time has come to pass for the loyal-students to hurl some or all of these near-sighted mongrels from their mid?^. This disloyal talk is heard every day, and yet some innocent student asks occas-sionally in a timid way whether or not anyone is wagging his tongue in a disastrous manner. We admit that one of the best things for the school is good, clean, constructive criticism, but if there is one thing we despise, it is the kind of destructive criticism that would take the heart and courage out of the bravest. Anyone of us can review the past week's work and can easily recall what someone has said that is not doing the least bit of good, and at the same time is doing no little harm in poisoning the minds of some of the students. What do they say that shouldn't be said? They talk about the football team; they shower down epithets of which only a devil could think on the heads of some; they brag to their friends about how they were able to put over a fast one on somebody. They swear they will never come back to Auburn—if it were only true. They carry stories back to the home people as to how badly Auburn is faring, and on the way home they commit acts that a real Auburn man would not tolerate. These belong to that group that disgraces the name of man on the Auburn campus and at the same time claims that it represents Auburn. And so, we say that it is time for the loyal students to cast these tragic mistakes to the place where they belong—especially from this college. If we can't get them out of the habit of seeing all the bad things about Auburn, let's scorn them, for sometimes scorn is sharper than the shapest of knives. There are many ways by which good results can be obtained, and let's get to the task immediately. Letters to the Editor Octoher 24, 1928. To the Editor of the Plainsman, Dear Editor: There are a few words that need to be said regarding the manner in which some hundred or so students lost their Athletic Books last Saturday. These books were taken without the permission of those who held them and if there is a law in Alabama that gives one person a right to take by force from another person, property that does not belong to him, we have not heard of that law. Of course we are not lawyers and if such a law does exist the above statement is not justified. If "snatching" must be done, men who show discretion should be chosen by those in authority. It seems, from the results of Saturday's "haul," that the gate keepers' motto was "ladies first." One of the men snatched a book from a lady's hand with the explanation that, "Mr. can obtain his book at the gym in Auburn." This unfortunate student applied at the gym on the morning of October 24th for his property and was told that the books would not be returned to the owners. These students paid seven dollars and fifty cents for their Athletic Books on registering at Auburn. To date, only four of the fifteen coupons have been used. Now in all fair-mindedness we ask, "is it not right that the college refund the balance of $6.50 to the student for revoking his athletic privileges?" Theatres and moving picture houses are required by law to return the purchase price of an admission ticket to the patron if he is asked to leave. In spite of the action taken by the athletic department, we feel sure that these hundred or more students will continue to support the team whenever it is possible for them to attend. Very sincerely yours, W. M. GARRARD, '29 K. W. BEWIG, '29 Editor The Plainsman: "She Stoops to Conquer." Ah, but no. Not this time because all hope of conquering is gone. Even though, one did stoop, could he expect to conquer after being struck down by cruel and heartless letters, 'such as were written by Mr. Kahn and Mr.. Shaekleford? Even though I am beat down, my body ja wounded and bleeding from the attack,, I shall arise and brace myself for my dying effort;. My thrusts are becoming wild and-weaker, so I know that my end must be near. . .- •'The' small!attempt that I made t o point. out some of the errors in what we call the Auburn Spirit seems to have started something rather like a snowball. The farther a snowball rolls the larger it gets, but the farther this discussion of my letter gets, the smaller, it gets. Abo the snow seems to be gone and the ball is picking up thorns and weeds. And another thing, the hit dog always howls, but-what is a howl if it is not .an intelligent one? Not once have I criticised the whole-someness and loyalty of,the REAL Auburn Spirit. But'the puerile, beastly, even cowardly public demonstrations of the Auburn Spirit, by far outwejght those incidents where the real Spirit of loyalty and manliness is displayed.. For example take, the incident of the'Auburn upperciassmen who-trampled the'hat of an old Auburn gradu: ate in Montgomery, the day of the Birmingham- Southern game. That is the kind of boy that is training and hazing our freshmen; he is the one that is making gentlemen of our first year men. Perhaps these boys are a minority group, but there is no excuse for any such group, however small it may be. One reason that causes me to turn back is that I have concluded that one can't learn everything at college, one must have something upon which to build before coming to college. Mr. Kahn believes that Auburn will grow and develop into a great institution if everyone adopted the "Laissez-Faire" attitude. Our President does not think so. The public readily sees and appreciates the good points about Auburn, so why bother about them. The public also, even more readily, sees and is disgusted with the bad points. Ten worthless and obnoxious qualities will counteract a hundred good ones. It is the ten that my soul crises out against. There, there, I'm about to get serious and that would never do. Thou knowest dear Editor that I snickereth up my sleeve, as it were. Also my name is not Ivanhoe Silva it is MacDonald Ivonovitch. Ah, I'm growing weeker. I stooped but did not conquer.

Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The Plainsman, in its last issue, made it appear as though I had made the full decision about the selling of student tickets. The decision was actually made by the Athletic Council after due discussion. I voted as a member of the Athletic Council and believe the decision was entirely right. I make this statement for the sole purpose of keeping the record straight. I try always to work with and through organizations having the administration of matters assigned to each such organization. That was done in this case. * * * * * Nights are getting cooler and a fire in the grate begins to feel sort of comfortable and home-like. Scholarship ought to increase under such circumstances.

That is the way to "dig it out." * * * * * Where and how do you get your education in college? Not all of college education comes from class room, laboratory, library and shop. Not all of it comes from the formal work of the teacher. A large part of education comes from associates, friends, boon-companions, from personal contacts with faculty when they are "off-duty" and acting as men and not as teachers, from examples seen, from crowd psychology, from "atmosphere," from habits formed almost .unconsciously. No, the "leading out. process" is not all -from books, that is sure....

A rope was thrown over the lowest limb of the tree and the would-be suicide climbed up to the ranch with one end of the rope tied about his neck. Now came the supreme test. Would he have the courage, the nerve to end it all? Finally, with a set face he paused for the last leap in this world. Suddenly that strange inner voice, his conscience whispered and said, "You can't do it. You can't do it." ' "But why? Oh, why can't I do it?" moaned the frenzied man. "Because," answered the insidious voice maddeningly, "you are not a college student." BOOK REVIEW ALL KNEELING By Anne Parrish New York: Harper & Brothers. 1928. $2.50 Herschel Brickell does not deny himself the opportunity for making some very decided complimentary criticisms of Ann Par-rish's new book, "All Kneeling". He comments at some length the virtues of this novel in the Saturday Review of Literature of September 15, 1928. Jt is the first choice of the Book Selection Committee, composed of prominent booksellers and critics. This reviewer did not find Miss Parrish's new novel of absorbing interest, and "while he is willing to admit the author's cleverness in satirical writing and her mastery of an effective, if mannered, style, reading the book was too much like devouring;*; large howl of something pleasantly tart; to the taste through several spoonsful, but with no va-riey and no. surprises and therefore quite monotonous, ; -..;-— : : -.:....:.;:- Miss. -Parrish's new novel imakes- its %ew-tfi. the.-public- wearing- the:wreath of- The American -1Booksellers-- Association.- -«Iii- .thearyr-at Jeast, -it is-the outstanding-noVeT for September, and as such is supposed to have the backing of the members of that organization. "All Kneeling" is the portrait of an ego* centric, Christable Caine, born beautiful and hiding a complete selfishness behind her fragile good looks—her fragility as much a j>ose as her devotion to the happiness of others—who wrote a book of verse quite early in life, and on the-strength of its false reputation, went off to New York to be Bohemian, and eventually become the wife of a rich man. . I think:what.. I mind mostabout'"All Kneeling" is .the completely static "quality ofrits characters.. Christabel is revealed fully and completely in- <** * i r * * e w chapters, and to the last word there is no evidence .of change, so that the reader continues, to hear the same thing about the character in different words—she revolves slowly upon a pedestal with Time as the motor, while her creator points out the utter detestability that lies beneath the agreeable surface. Perhaps the satirist is not required to make his people live and breathe, but the novelist must, and Christable has no reality for this reader. As for the rest of the cast in this acid comedy, Miss Parrish has sketched them in with a few strokes, some of them with an easy skill, others with the limit of impressionism, so that the whole takes on an aloof and curiously theatrical air. It is all very clever but there are 320 pages of it, even though the pages are wide of margin and large of type. Christabel continues her literary career after she marries her rich young man, and Miss Parish makes merry at the expense of silly reviewers and the rest of the hangers- on of the writing business. She is dangerously explicit at times; for example, if we were still playing those question and. answer games of a season or. so ago, what alert person could tell us the name of the leading candidate for this ihaft; ' . But.I fear^ypu will.:never become a...; " 7 really .g^at whimsical writer, because ',/yo.u can't very well be photographed. smoking a pipe. . . . There is something else that needs to be called perhaps and it is that Miss Parrish used the theme of "All Kneeling" in "A Picketfull of Poses." Her new book, on the whole, is of less consequence as a piece of fiction- than "Tomorrow Morning" and I don't think it comes near the soundness of "The Perennial Bachelor," over the solidity of which played agreeably the bright, glittering style of Miss Parrish. The birghtness and. the glitter seem to have become more than a little tinselly in "All Kneeling." . •.. - ' With Miss.Parrjsh's thesis,iif one-;may impute' a 'thesis to .her,, that writing,Vas-Br the case of Christjibel, is nothing-more than-' exnibitipni'sm and an inevitable display of the vanity of the writer, I have no quarrel. Since she has so courageously laid bare the secrets of a poet-novelist, the only courteous response for some reviewer to make is to write a satire upon his profession. Or does it need satirizing? MEDITATIONS O N THIS A N D T H AT IBy ^Benjamin Trovost~ EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this- paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * * * * * THE FIRST QUARTER of the twentieth century has been a period of emancipation from hidebound tradition and custom. The masses are learning to reason, to do things which are rational and to ignore-'customs which.are not founded on reason. To foliQwe foolish custom simply because it AS- traditional when reason dictates d different course is to class one's self as a mid-Victorian or as a person unaffected by reason. Psychology says that man differs from the brute only in that the brute cannot rationalize, while man is endowed with a working brain. If man is to maintain this superiority it behooves him to exercise his ability to think. It is my thesis that the man who frankly refuses to use the brain which is his precious heritage is guilty or criminal negligence. To advocate a positively harmful, useless, outworn, unprogressive custom simply because it is a tradition is to refuse to follow the guidance of the intellect. * * * * ' * NOW TO GET to the point: this traditional Old Auburn Custom of shaving each freshman and transfer like convicts is detrimental to the school. It has absolutely no excuse for being, except that it is an old custom. It is an important factor to be considered in seeking an explanation for Auburn's failure to grow in the last ten years. It will be a drawback to the progress which we expect Auburn to make. " Why, in the name of Omar and the other Chinese deities can't we recognize this and throw the practice overboard? Mutilation of the body and other heathen practices can be overlooked on the part of South Sea Islanders. College men should know better. * * * * • I'm beginning to get out of patience with this talk about continuing hair-cutting because it is an Old Custom. What if it is? That's just one more reason to abolish it. Old bunk is much worse than new bunk. It has lost its novelty. It used to be a sacred tradition that a true southerner would kill a man who reflected upon his honor. That was a heathen custom. Are we any worse off for having discarded it? It used to be the custom for suitors to ask a girl's parents for permission to marry her. Are we not taking a more intelligent attitude by abandoning such a foolish practice? * * * * * IT IS HIGH TIME that we men of the class of 1929 do something about hair-cutting. First, we need to take a little time off and apply pur brains to the question. Just a little thought on the subject would change many seniors' view of the matter. A little thought will convince any man that the practice should be abolished. I have no fear that the class will refuse to act, provided a majority of the members use their brains on it. We will never get anywhere chirping meaninglessly about Old Auburn Customs. Hokum, hooie,. hot-air, bunk, sauce de yomme, and other expressions meaning that I don't think so much of such a weak excuse for continuing a harmful, foolish and out-worn practice. «-'"* * * * . . . . . - I have a class under an instructor who . persists in pronouncing the word data^as. if it rimed with matter. He pronounces, strata the same way. .That gets on my nerves. None of us are perfect, but such common words should be pronounced correctly. I have a theory that an instructor can stand .before a class for a whole session and say absolutely nothing, yet phrase his remarks effectively, and the class would profit;by hearing correct grammar. Too many of them say a great deal, but express it so badly that half the effect is lost. If I ever lose my mind, it will happen in a class where I'm forced to listen to an instructor mispronounce words. There ought to be a law against them.

M SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1928 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE GIVES ANALYSIS OF STUDENT GRADES (Continued from Thursday issue) Among the reasons for the low freshmen average should be included the difficulty first-year students find in getting adjusted to college environment, to new methods of instruction, to the absence of parental encouragement, and to the detraction from work of the multifarious campus activities. However, it is significant that some 160 fraternity freshmen averaged 71.97, while non-fraternity freshmen, numbering 230, averaged 74.45, or 2.48 points higher. Thirty-six fraternity pledges averaged only 69.54. Freshman sorority women on the other hand, averaged 79.66—or 7.67 points higher than freshman fraternity men, and sorority pledges averaged 82.8. That fraternity men should be the weak group in the freshman class and that they lower the averages of the individual fraternities and of the student body as a whole, is a matter of concern to many. It is not to be implied that no conscious effort is being exerted on the part of some groups to better their scholastic standing. Indeed, a comparison of the second with the first semester averages shows gains by fifteen groups and losses by only thirteen. Few of the chapters have so drunk of the hemlock that they are not sensitive to ranking lower in scholarship than other fraternities. Group pride causes the fraternity to strive in scholarship. There may, however, be so many indifferent and sometimes incapable students to be DR. C. L. BOYD, D. D. S. DENTIST Telephone Building Upstair* be urged and carried along by the ambitious members that to gain is practically impossible. One group, the Phi Kappa Tau gained 6.78 points—increasing the first semester average 71.63 to 78.41 for the second semester, and rising from twenty-sixth to ninth place. The members of this group agreed among themselves to set aside a certain number of hours within which they would not only observe quiet but would also indulge in actual study. The Theta Chi fraternity gained 5.31 points, rising eleven places from the lowest in rank and increasing an average of 70.02 to 76.33. Two sororities, two non-Council nationals, and nine members of the Interfraternity Council registered losses in the second semester averages—these losses ranging in points from .19 by the Delta Sigma Phi, to 1.56 by Kappa Sigma, and to 2.72 by the Phi Delta Theta. Fraternities Exhibit New Interest In Scholarship Within the last year or two, leading nationals have devoted much attention to the study of the scholarship of chapter members. Minimum scholarship requirements are prescribed for pledges to attain before initiation, and for both individual members and chapters to make upon penalty of being placed on the inactive list. The Auburn chapter of a prominent national fraternity is threatened with probation if the average shown above is not improved during the first semester of 1928-29. It is moving cautiously in the selection of freshmen pledges in the attempt to get capable students and, so it is reported, some "real study" is going on at the chapter house.

In discussing the activities of the honor society this year Mr. McGhee stated that ODK would sponsor a program that would have a binding effect on the student body and create a spirit of cooperation between members of the lower classes. Details of the work will be published at an early date. It is said that the plans as outlined by the special committees will be of interest to faculty and students alike. The purpose of Omicron Delta Kappa is threefold: To recognize men who have attained a high standard of efficiency in college activities, and to inspire others to strive for conspicuous attainments along similar lines. Second, to bring together the most representative Men in all phases of collegiate life and thus to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interest. Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body of the institution on a basis of mutual interest and understanding. advisors—to advise, encourage, persuade. The college administration has apointed another group of advisers— one for each fraternity—to advise with the fraternity representatives of the college and to provide an official contact between college and fraternity. This action on the part of national headquarters and the college ad ministration will no doubt have a wholesome influence in aiding frater nities to function scholastically as well as socially. The influence of the general interest in fraternity scholarship is reflected in the following eligibility rules passed by the Interfraternity Council in 1927-28: (Article 1. Sections 1 and 2. Pages 5 & 6.) Section 1. In order for a pledge to be initiated at the end of the first semester into any fraternity which is a member of this council, he must have twice as many quality points as the number of credit hours for which he is registered for the first semester (equivalent to a minimum average of 70.) Should he fail to obtain the required number of quality points for the first semester work, he may be initiated at the end of the second mid-semester provided he has two and one half times as many quality points as the number of college credit hours for which he is registered. Section 2. A student who enters scrool at the beginning of the second semester, must have, at the mid-semester, two and one-half times as many quality points as the number of college credit hours for which he is registered, in order to be initiated into any fraternity which is a member of this council. Improvement in Scholarship Auburn's Big Problem It is true that this increased interest on the part of fraternities will do much toward bringing about a general improvement in scholarship at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Alumni and parents can, in diverse ways, exert a wholesome influence. Some instructors may aid considerably by setting higher standards for students to attain. Others can encourage the student by pointing out the pleasures of scholarly pursuits. Most will depend upon the attitude and efforts of the students themselves.- Many Auburn students have had the idea that to cultivate sociability rather than scholarship is the aim of college life. Consequently these have gone on 'eating, drinking, and making merry,' so to speak, with little thought for the morrow! The average Auburn student is by nature sociable and hardly needs to stress the cultivation of sociability. Many, however, are not by nature scholarly, and should cultivate this quality more. A sentiment which seems to be growing, but which is a t present conspicious-ly rare might be stated as follows: that they are here primarily for the purpose of getting facts and learning methods and habits of study to aid in earning a livlihood and in living life to its fullest after college years are over; that reading, discussing, and reflecting upon books on science, literature and philosophy, is genuine pleasure; that it is possible to better understand the world in which they live; that libraries are to be used; and that it is honorable to learn. Then Auburn might claim a still higher place among the institutions of learning. STUDENTS ATTEND B. S. U. CONFERENCE A baker's dozen Auburn students attended the Baptist Student Union Conference held at Judson beginning Friday and continuing through today. With aim and keynote of the gathering being: "Magnify Christ, the Master, student representatives from all Alabama clleges met for three days of concerted action in keeping with the above motto. Auburn representatives, which included leaders in the field of Baptist work here on the campus, were: C. E. Candell, Miss Ruth Frisbie, Miss Lu-cile Burson, Roy Sellers, J. R. Car-reker, Miss Mary Johnson, G. W. Miller, P. L. Wright, M. A. Jones, W. G. Little, S. A. Willims, O. C. Moore, and T. H. LeCroy. Miss Mary Lee Mansfield of Judson College was in charge of the arrangement on this occasion; the Harvard Plan of entertainment was employed. Miss Lucile Llody, State B.Y.P.U. chairman and enthusiastic worker among Alabama colleges who is well known on the Auburn campus, was prominent in the activities at this convention. Baptist Student Union work in this state is being promoted by the Department of Southern Baptist Student work, of which Frank H. Lea-veil of Nashville is executive secretary. All Baptist students registering at Auburn automatically become members of the B. S. U. upon registration. The work of this organization is very progressive, being recognized among the livliest in the state. BLIND LAWYER WINS HIS CASE Marvin Shannon, blind ex-student of the University of Texas School of Law, has won his first case in court. He was just recently admitted to the bar. Members of the Tarrant county bar association remarked on the unusual ability displayed by Shannon, and declared that his courtroom tactics marked him as a coming trial lawyer of northern Texas. Shannon lost his eyesight while attending high school, and later graduated from the State School for the Blind after which he entered the University of Texas School of Law, where he was an honor student. Physicians Pick Student Give Blood For Negro Fred Shaw, of Tif ton, a sophomore of Mercer university gave his blood in transfusion this week to Lee Battle, aged Negro servant of the university. Lee has been at the Macon hospital in a weakened condition for several days following an operation. It became necessary for the Negro to have more blood. An appeal was made in the chapel Tuesday and about 20 students volunteered. Tests were made and Mr. Shaw's blood was found suitable. He gave a pint of the life fluid. Lee Battle has been employed by the university for 29 years, and it is said that he knows personally every man who has graduated from Mercer in that time. He is known as the "friend of the alumni and the freshmen." At athletic games Lee has always been on the side sidelines, giving encouragement to the team and the spectators. It has become a tradition at Mercer for the Negro to make speeches and yell "whoopee" between periods of football and basketball games. Mr. Shaw was one of the first to respond when it was learned that a transfusion would be necessary to strengthen Lee for another operation. He had his blood tested and waited expectantly until he was called. Asked why he volunteered to aid the Negro, the student said, "I did it from a sense of duty. I would give my blood to save anybody's life-" Dr. W. W. Baxley, house physician at the Macon hospital, will accomplish the transfusion. GREAT DEMAND FOR HOME ECONOMICS TEACHERS IN ALA. The demand for teachers of home economics in Alabama far exceeds the supply. During the past summer there were more than 100 openings for teachers prepared in this field in the high schools in Alabama and the demand was by no means supplied. This is the statement made Thursday by Miss Louise P. Glanton, head of the home economics department at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Miss Glanton says that every year there are more and more schools taking up vocational work, with the result that there is a larger field, of opportunity for young momen of good training in home economics. Of the 17 young ladies to graduate from Auburn in home economics last June, 14 are now teaching these courses in high schools over the state and elsewhere, continued Miss Glanton. Four of these young ladies are now serving as home demonstration agents. They are: Miss Namie Mathews, Henry County; Miss Clara Nale, Franklin; Miss Cinthia Lester, Conecuh; and Mrs. W. G. Pruett, Houston. Even though these young women had had no previous high school teach-in experience Miss Glanton stated that she had no difficulty in placing them in good positions, paying attractive salaries. That the Department of Home Economics is efficient in its preparation of teachers is evidenced by the immediate location in responsible positions of those young women graduating in this division of the college. Nine other members of the class of '28 who are now teaching home economics are: Miss Olive Gibbons Wyatt, San Antonio Texas; Mrs. Eva Godsey, Leroy, Ala; Miss Carrie Hester, Double Springs, Ala; Miss Lillian Dunn, Russelville, Ala.; Miss Linnie Cline, Jemison, Ala.; Miss Irene Fletcher, Crossville, Ala.; Miss Vera Is-bell, Alexandria; Miss Eunice Stinnett, Ramer, Ala.; and Miss Clara Briscoe, Danville.

Winter, Howard Spark*, Assistant* D AUBURN DOWNS FORT BENNING TEAM 25-0 IN PRACTICE GAME By Tad McCallum The Auburn Reserves ran roughshod over the 29th Infantry eleven of Fort Benning on Drake Field Friday afternoon, to win by a 25 to 0 score. The scrubs displayed a fast brand of football in downing the Benning aggregation, and the game was hard fought and interesting throughout. Auburn took to the air in the first quarter and continued to use an overhead attack for the remainder of the game. Three of the four touchdowns chalked up by the Tiger Cubs were the result of this passing attack. The Auburnites scored their first marker about the middle of the first quarter, after a sustained drive down the field had placed the ball on Ben-nings' 12 yard line. Jones passed to Sellers who ran about 8 yards to score the initial touchdown. Ingram failed in an attempt to add the extra point from placement. The second touchdown was the result of a similar drive near the close of the first half with Granger going over the goal line for the score. Sellers failed to kick goal. The half ended with Auburn leading 12 to 0. In the third quarter Auburn completed 7 passes out of/10 attempted, one long heave from Wingo to Du- Bose netting 45 yards. A minute later Wingo tossed another one to DuBose for a touchdown. A pass for the ext r a point was incomplete but Benning was off-side on the play and the point counted. The Soldiers kicked off and on the third play "Stumpy" Granger broke through the line for a 40 yard gallop down the sideline. Another touchdown seemed certain but Auburn fumbled and Johnson recovered for Benning on his own 20 yard line. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Malone of Auburn intercepted a pass and made a beautiful 40 yard run through the entire Benning team but fumbled as he crossed goal line and the Soldiers recovered. The referee called the play a touchback and the ball was brought out to the 20 yard line. The Soldiers failed to gain on three line plays and Hampshire punted to Jones who lugged the ball back to the 30 yard line. Carter made 6 over tackle and on the next play Jones passed to Malone who stepped the remaining 20 yards for a touchdown. The Soldiers took to the air in the closing minutes in a vain attempt to score but Frazier intercepted a long heave as the game ended. Coach Bohler used nearly thirty men in the game and each one gave a good account of himself. Harper, Benning fullback, put up a great exhibition of defensive football and made the majority of his team's tackles. Romploski was the big gun in the Soldier's offense. - Lineup: AUBURN Shannon Herrin Paul Cunningham Hall Gerber Ingram Jones Carter Sellers Chamblee FT.

Engineers Fight to 0-0 Tie With First Battalion In Initial Gridiron Contest SPORTS STUFF By Howard Sparks Although the score was tied at 0 to 0, the Engineers defeated the Artillery by virture of five first downs to one. The teams fought on even terms in the first three quarters the the Engineers, with the assistance of a heavy penalty, started a drive which carried them to the one-yard line. On the next play a bad pass from center After an exchange of punts the En-gineers recovered for an 18 yard loss. After an evchange of punts the Engineers took the ball and started another drive which might have netted a touchdown but for the short length of time left. For the Engineers, Rose did the best work in the line and Green and Sha-bel were the main dogs of the back-field. Shabel did some fine work in ramming the line. Hayes at center turned in a good defensive game. Cameron, at quarter, and Dyer at half, turned in the hest game for the At.

By "Dusty" Porter Over at Alabama they seem to be having quite a bit of trouble in keeping the spirit in the Crimson camp, that is necessary to win football games. One or two men have been giving Coach Wade trouble since the beginning of the year in keeping the morale of the team just where it must be to assure victory. It is a shame that a team as the "Crimson" machine showed promise of being, must be hampered by the action of a few players. Brasfield, one of the oustanding backs in Southern football last year has received his second suspension from Coach Wade this year, and Deal, one of the most promising backs on the Crimson aggregation has also been suspended for non-observance of the training rules that are necessary in the success of a football team. Let's hope that these difficulties can be straightened out, and two of the prominent "Cogs" of the Crimson machine will be seen in action for the "Tide" before the curtain falls. * * * * * One of the most unusual occur-ances in Southern football was dished out to the fans in South Carolina this week. The Clemson outfit gave battle to the "Gamecocks" from South Carolina Thursday at 12:00 and the Tigers from Clemson must have gotten the Dinner bell and the Referees whistle mixed up. Going into the game as a decided loser, they reversed the side of the ledger and chalked up a 32 to 0 score over the same team that put the rollers under the University of Chicago. Still some of us think we are darn good in picking the winners. Especially "Oswald." Friday night the ghost of Auburn that reigned supreme in Southern football not so many years ago slipped into Langdon Hall and is now in the hearts of the Auburn students, and the spirit that no other stud, nt body can boast of is back to stay in its original birth place. When this article is being printed the Alumni will be rejoicing on Drake Field, that the spirit of Old Auburn is back, and with such Hell and all its disciples can't budge us. We are Right. The team is right. Bohler is Right. In fact the whole "Cock-eyed Village" is right. LET'S GO AUBURN. * * * * * Georgia Tech, must be considered the luckiest team in the Southern Conference, going through the hard fought battle with Notre Dame without receiving one serious injury. But a team that trains and fights hard is not subject to very many losses by injuries, and Tech must be in good condition. By Dick Jones Coach George M. Bohler's passes are thrown left to right as they prove to be the most successful play the Tigers have ever attempted to use. It can be truthfully said that Bohler's dreams of having a passing team came true Friday afternoon when the scrubs defeated the First Battalion of the 29th Infantry of Fort Benning, on Drake field by gaining more yardage in the air than on the ground. These Tiger scrubs completed twelve out of inneteen passes that were thrown making two touchdowns from two of them. The average yardage gained from the nineteen passes was 12 yards to every pass attempted. The total number of yards gained in all in the air was over 220 yards. Bohler leaves it up to the quarterbacks to run the team and in a game they certainly ran it in fine style Friday. Coach Bohler picked out his best all around men for the quarterback berth and they also proved to be all around men in this game against the Army boys. Chamblee started off the game at quarterback and held it down for the whole first half performing in high style. Chamblee not only ran the team in good fashion, but gained his part of the yardage. Several times he got loose through the line for some nice gains from 5 to 15 yards and threw passes for a gain on every attempt. Wingo took the quarterback post from Chamblee and also held it down in fine style until he was relieved by Jones in the last quarter who threw the longest passes. Wingo threw eight passes, completing five of them for a total gain of 62 yards with one of them being caught over the goal line by Frank DuBose for the Tigers third Touchdown. Jones completed four out of the six passes he threw gaining 105 yards with one of them being called back because Auburn was off sides. One of Jones' passes counted for the six points made in the last quarter when Auburn had the ball on Benning's 40- yard line and Jones passed 20 yards to Malone who made a broken field run for the last 20 yards. The gridders on the receiving end of these passes were DuBose, Creel, Crowe, Shannon, Sellers, Ingram, and Malone. These men showed fine style in pulling them down out of the ozone at all times.

NOT. 29—Georgia Tech. —Montgomery (Night game) —Auburn —Gainesville —Birmingham —Auburn —Columbus —New Orleans —Birmingham —Atlanta By Carol Porter Thursday afternoon the second and third Battalions locked horns on the "Rat" football field, and for about fifty minutes of fun. Dust and footballs were flying in every direction, and not for one minute did these wearers of the yellow and white jerseys let the excitement die. The second Battallion players were clad in the bright yellow jerseys, but this yellow was only as deep as the jersey was thick. The third Battallion wore the white jersey, but not as a truce flag by any means. Promptly at three-forty-five the two teams strolled on the field, forgetting that they were in the same school, or the same army together until the game was over. The yellows elected to kick, and the game was on. The whites received the kick-off on their 20-yard line, where they were downed without any return. After testing the yellow line with two plays and no yardage and one pass falling dead, Lively drops back and punts to mid-field, where the yellows fumbled and the whites recovered. After several plays failed to gain the required yardage the ball goes over, and the yellows punted on first down and caught the whites napping and the punt rolled to the 7 yd line where it was grounded by the yellow players. The whites punted on the first down to mid-field apparently out of danger, but the yellows pulled off a pass at this point that still has the spectators wondering just how it came about, a pass to the right end was slapped and juggle'd about from one end of the line to the other slighting no one, and assuming that the fun had continued long enough, young Arnold, a yellow half back strolls in and picks the ball from the air and leisurely gallops 40 yards for a touchdown. Then a pass for extra point was unsuccessful. The yellows take the lead, but the whites resort to passing attack, one netting 50 yards, and another for 10 yards places the ball one the yellow's 8 yard line, and after two line plays go for naught, a pass to the left end was good for a touchdown. They failed to kick goal, but the yellows were offside and the point was good. Score: Yellows 6, Whites 7. After several marches up and down the field with the yellows in scoring position several time but unable to go over. After working ball down to the 10 yard line on hard clean football, the yellows fumbled on an attempted forward pass, Allen, a White lineman recovers and runs 90 yards for a touchdown. The kick for extra point fails and the scoring for the day ends. Whites 13; Yellows 6. For the whites, Lewis and Lively were unusually good in advancing the pigskin. Snider did some good work for the losers. The yellow's forward wall and the white backfield were the outstanding features of each team.

Past Scores of Auburn- Howard Gridiron Games By Dick Jones Past records of the Auburn-Howard games shows that Auburn has averaged 34% points to every game while Howard has averaged only 2% points. The Howard College Bulldogs failed to score at all in the first seven games they played the Auburn Tigers and when they did finally score they only scored nine points in the first thirteen games. The total number of points scored by the Tigers in the first sixteen games was 556 while the Bulldogs only scored 38. Past records show the following scores of the two teams by years: 1903 Auburn 58—Howard 0 1907 Auburn 23—Howard 0 1908.._ Auburn 18—Howard 0 1909 Auburn 11—Howard 0 1910 Auburn 78—Howard 0 1916 Auburn 35—Howard 0 1917 _ Auburn 53—Howard 0 1919 Auburn 19—Howard 6 1920..- Auburn 88—Howard 0 1921 Auburn 35—Howard 3 1922 Auburn 72—Howard 0 1923 Auburn 30—Howard 0 1924 Auburn 17—Howard 0 1925 Auburn 7—Howard 6 1926 Auburn 33—Howard 14 1927 Auburn 9—Howard 9 Total....

L Thomas in its settings of oak and cedar trees was the scene of a lovely tea last Saturday afternon. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. C. D. Killebrew were hostesses to introduce the new members of the faculty and wivesof the faculty members. The library and hall were decorated with gay zennias and marigolds. In the living room, with its dark flemish furniture, red Mexican sage was used. On the beautiful desk a single red canna in a French case, was most effective. The tea table was covered with cream lace over pale green satin, and lighted with tall green tapers. Magnificent white dahlias formed the center piece. Instead of a regular receiving line, there were groups of the honor guests. The hostesses received in the library and presented Mrs. Bradford Knapp. The. other groups were introduced by Mrs. J. W. Scott and Mrs. Zebulon Judd. The guests were received at the door by Miss Nan Thomas and Mrs. F. C. Biggins. Mrs. J. J. Wilmore and Mrs. B. H. Crenshaw poured coffee and tea. The hostesses were also assisted by Miss Dana Gatchell, Mrs. T. A. Simms, Mrs. Ercel Friel, Mrs. Cecil Yarbrough, Mrs. Ralph Doner, Mrs. Champion, and Mrs. Jesse Atkinson. During the afternoon Mrs. A. Carnes and Mrs. Ralph Doner sang and Mrs. E. S. Winters gave several numbers on the piano. Mrs. Mary Drake Askew accompanied on the violin. Nearly two hundred ladies called. Life would be dull if we knew what it was all about. Mrs. Knapp Honoree at Bridge Luncheon The lovely home of Dean and Mrs. Frederic C. Biggin was thrown open to guests for the first time on Friday, October 19, when a beautifully appointed bridge luncheon was given complimenting Mrs. Bradford Knapp, Mrs. Bradford Knapp, Jr., and the wives of the faculty of the architectural department, Mesdames Orr, Ap-plebee, and Osborne, the latter having just returned after extensive travels in Europe.

L. Thomas, Allison, Yarbrough, Orr, Applebee, Osborne, Bradford Knapp, Bradford Knapp, Jr., and Miss Whitker. Dahlias and Cosmos gracefully arranged in baskets were used in decorating the living room. In the sun parlor ferns and potted plants were used in a charming effect. Coffee was served in the dining room by Mrs. Wilmore. Silver baskets of dahlias were placed on the table which was covered with a beautiful lace cloth. Bridge was enjoyed after luncheon. Mrs. Hill won high score prize, and each honoree was presented with a lovely gift. PERSONALS Home Economics Club Meets Wednesday The Home Economics Club met Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 in the Y-Hut.

Wideberg, Auburn graduated with the class of 1920, has been promoted to a district superintenden-cy with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company of New York City, effective November first. This position gives Mr. Wideberg the distinction of being decidedly the youngest company superintendent in the entire city of New York. After finishing his work at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Mr. Wide-burg was for two years with the Southern Bell Telephone Company. He then received an appointment with the Detroit Telephone Company where he served with marked success for some three years. Later he became a superintendent with the Peninsula Telephone Company with his office at Tampa, Florida, and in the spring of this year he entered the ranks of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in New York City. In 1922 Mr. Wideberg was married to Miss Mary Crenshaw, Auburn graduate with the class of 1917, and daughter of Professor B. H. Crenshaw, '89, head professor of mathematics. Four Universities Closed After Riot A government order closing four universities, a bitter parliamentary debated ending in a challenge to duel, 140 arrests and numerous minor casualties were the products of renewed anti-Semetic riots in Budapest, Hungary Wednesday. Students and workmen fought bitterly, police charged crowds viciously and government adherents alleged that the students were aiming to overthrow the government of Count Stefan Be-thlen, prime minister. The order closing the four universities will be effective until after an official investigation has been completed. The outbreaks among the students started several weeks ago when they alleged that the government was foisting upon the institutions a greater proportion of Jewish students than was allowed by law. The riots caused a stormy parliamentary debate. The opposition parties charged that the government was responsible for the whole situation and one of the deputies, a Dr. Fabian, alleged that the riots had been engendered by an under-secretary in the Department of the Interior. He said this official had sent secret orders to the students, telling them to attack the Jews. He added that innocent persons had been assassinated and their slayers permitted to escape. Amidst the uproar created by these charges, the minister of the interior, Bela Scitoszky de Nagyker, made himself heard and called upon Dr. Fabian to produce the evidence upon which his allegations were based. The deputy failed to do so and was suspended from the house by the speaker. Then the under-secretary challenged him to a duel. Japanese Plan New Inverted Skyscraper In defiance of earthquakes the Japanese have designed a downstairs skyscraper, 80 stories deep, to be built 1,100 feet down into the earth. This project is planned for Tokyo where the construction problem is a difficult one on account of the frequency and violence of earth shocks. The proposed structure will cost about eleven million dollars. Special provisions will be made for elevators, electric lights, telephones and ventilating shafts. This project may be accepted as an illustration of the ingenuity and practicability of the Japanese. It almost seems that such an idea should have been originated and carried out in New York or in America, at least. But Japan has made marvelous advances. It has scientists, engineers, architects, construction companies and big business enterprises. The island country has assumed much of the culture and methods of the Western world. Probably the American colleges and universities, which young Japanese students have attended, have had a- significant part in Nippon's progress. Former Montgomery Man To Fly Atlantic When the giant German dirigible, the Graf Zeppelin, points its nose eastward for its return trip to Germany next week a former Montgomery man will be one of the six passengers aboard. He is Joseph D. Jessel, formerly manager of the jewelry department at the Montgomery Fair and now a member of the New York firm, Ullman and Jessel, Inc., makers of ladies dresses. Word of Mr. Jessel's flight over the Atlantic to Europe where he will buy new-styled dresses was received yesterday in a telegram to Morris Marcus, of the Fashion Shop, a friend of Mr. Jessel's. Mr. Jessel was born and grew up in Bellevue in Dallas County. Mr. Ullman was formerly of Selma. Columbia Announces Educational Policy Columbia has announced an educational policy that Utopians had long been advocating, but which sounded too badly devastating for modern university. Briefly it is that requirements for the degree will differ for those interested in scholarship, applied learning, or in receiving a college education. To some simple souls the distinction may not be apparent, but if we interpret it correctly, it is based on the fundamental division of "College students" into those who study for the sake of study, those who study that they may get along in the world, and those who do not study any more than they have to. It takes only clearness of vision to recognize that such a difference of aim exists, but considerable courage is needed to announce it to the world which likes to think its materialistic children go to college to acquire the wisdom of the ages.

Play the game with the team. Think nothing but that the Auburn team WILL carry that ball across the goal line. Touchdown, Auburn!" The multitude responded. "Beat Howard!" — Glory, Glory" — "We'll beat hell out of 'em"—"Hooray for Prexy!" Then came Nick Carter. He expressed the team's appreciation of the wonderful display of spirit, and assured the audience; "We're going out there to win that game. We won't let them pass us. We'll know that you are with us—pulling for us— fighting, fighting. That'll add to our team 100 per cent." "Puss" Tyler, who with Puryear led the cheers, stirred the students to fever pitch with a short speech. "Who's gonna beat Howard?—"Auburn!"— "Where?"—"Any dam where!" Frank DuBose, last speaker, praised the students for the great mass meeting, and urged that they be equally as good at all times in the future. What? Oh, surely the alumni were there. Thirty of them filed in to the roars of the students. In a group near the stage, they gave three ringing cheers for Bohler, for Auburn students, and for the team. Is this spirit? It's the 100 per cent plus kind. Hi! Hi! Hi! Alumni! Needless to say, Professor Thomas was there. Not Professor, but "Su- TOPMOST VALUE! HEIGHT OF STYLE! STYLES FOR COLLEGE MEN -Charter House -Learbury -Nottingham Fabrics NOW READY FOR YOUR INSPECTION ^ LODIS SAKS Store That the curb market movement in Alabama has resulted in substantial financial benefit to at least one rural family in the state was conclusively proved Thursday when Mrs. J. D. Webster, wife of a prominent Lee County farmer, presented to the Rotary Club a detailed acount of her sales during the first six months at the Auburn curb market. Mrs. Webster stated that for vegetables, poultry, and dairy products sold through the market here she had received $989.51. For the six months her income was as follows: May, $86.04; June, $81.61; July, $200.00; August, $119.39; September, $235.26; and October, $267.22. This money, Mrs. Webster said, was making possible considerable home improvement such as the rearrangement of her kitchen and the "doing over" of several other rooms. Mrs. Webster who leads the participants in the market, stated that this form of selling was of particular benefit to farmers because it created a market for many farm products which heretofore had not been salable, such as fruits, including figs, grapes, and berries, as well as cut flowers, homemade candies, cakes, pies, etc . During the winter she said that although her income would not be so great as during the summer months, still she planned to sell large quantities of dried fruits, canned fruits and vegetables, home-cured meats, lard, sausages, and dairy and poultry products. The curb market has trebled Mrs. Webster's income from these products. Heretofore she said there was no means of selling the small quantities of miscellaneous produce for which she now finds a ready market. Mrs. Webster has sold her products every day since the market has operated save the first day which she missed because of illness. sie," with that eternal spirit; we should add, and with his trumpet. He closed the meeting with "We'll Roll, We'll Roll, We'll Roll the Ball along;" and the crowd marched out to parade en masse behind the band, up and down the streets of Auburn, with a hullerballoo that might have raised the deaf (if there were any around), and then to the drill field. A huge bonfire was started and the throngs of spirit-mad students were making the town resound with their lusty yells when the clock in the towsr struck twelve. DR. T. B. MCDONALD DENTIST Office Over Toomer's Drug Store ROBERTSON'S QUICK LUNCH Open Day and Night The Best that can be bought— Served as well as can be served IS Commerce St. Montgomery, Ala. In addition to the financial aspect of the curb market, Mrs. Webster said that all the women who attended enjoyed making new acquaintances with the many town people whom they had heretofore known only slightly. Dairy products constitute about two-thirds of the income through the curb market, said Mrs. Webster. And although there is greater profit in various truck crops the income is more certain and regular from the dairy products, she said. Miss Mary Bailey, home demonstration agent for Lee County who established the Auburn market, was present at the Rotary meeting and pointed out that the Auburn curb market is an outstanding success. Over $3000 worth of products has been sold since its establishment last May, despite the presence of a larger curb market in Opelika and the preserce of several cotton mill districts in the county where many of the farmers sell their produce direct to consumers. Robert Hudson, prominent Lee County farmer, gave his enthusiastic endorsement of the curb market in Auburn and made the suggestion that delivery service might make the market a bit more convenient to the citizens of Auburn. R. L. Moore, another prominent Lee County farmer, spoke briefly on the advantages of the curb market and expressed his appreciation to the Rotary club for its aid in sponsoring this movement. Miss Bess Fleming, girls club leader for Alabama, addresser the club briefly on the work she is doing with some 11,000 members of these clubs over the state. She gave an interesting account of the International 4-H Club Leadership Training School which she attended in Springfield, Mass. Two guests attending the club with Major John T. Kennedy were E. Zieg-ler and H. Ludlum, both connected with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad at Wilmington, North Carolina. Boys!
