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.

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.

Game Is Changed
The date and place of the Fresh­man
game with Tulane has been
changed from November 8 in Mont­gomery
to November 10 at Auburn,
according to an announcement of
Coach Bonier Friday. 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

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.

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. It seems that Au­burn
will probably be awared Dis­tinguished
College again, if such ex­cellent
work continues.

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

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.

grow and develop into a great institution

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.

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.... If you are here to get

AN INTERESTING AFFAIR
What took place at a literary society last week. (The meeting was called to
order after two or three threats from the president. Some one tried to call the
roll. Two or three Freshmen hot air artists tried to become the center of attraction.
The first speaker of the evening got up strutted and fizzled around like a gram­mar
school kind reciting Little Boy Blue. Every one applauded when he finished.
I guess it was because he was through. The co-eds powdered their faces frantic­ally
as a visitor came in. Four or five members were called on to make talks, but
all of them refused to talk above a giggle. Seven or eight bright members tried
to tear up a row of seats getting up to move that the meeting be adjourned. (Who
could blame them). All on the back row were aroused and called forth from the
depths of peaceful slumber. As there was nothing else to do everyone rushed for
the gate and tried to run over each other.) The WART Literary Society.

QUIT STRINGING US
A damp, cold, gloomy night—a moonless night. 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 deathly white face with great staring
eyes standing out in the bold relief against the black shadows of the night. 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, ; -..;-— : : -.:....:.;:-

.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...;

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?

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

* * * * *
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 theory that an instructor

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

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

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

Omicron Delta Kappa
Will Launch Program
Omega Circle of Omicron Delta
Kappa will soon launch an extensive
program of activities according to
an announcement made public today
by Addison McGhee, president. 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.

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. -

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

recovered for an 18 yard loss.
After an evchange of punts the En­gineers

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.

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.

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.

DEATH OF OCTOBER
October—and her trees
Are weeping tears of flame
For golden moons and roses—
Weeping—and in vain.
October flaunts her. colors
But know they cannot last—
She makes her last grand gesture
Before her time is passed.
October clutches blindly
At fleeting things that tell
Orange moons and majoram
When summer wove her spell
A whisper from September
Tells of azure dusks—
Of love and stolen kisses,
And fragile white moon-tusks.
Her ragged limbs are reaching—
Imploring to the sky—
Her fingers growing blacker,
Beckoning good-bye.
—Archibald Douglas.
Lovely Tea Given At
Thomas Home
The home of Prof, and Mrs. A. 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.
Receiving with Mrs. Biggin were
Mrs. John Wilmore and Mrs. Shelton
Toomer.
Five tables were centered with tall
green tapers in silver holders and
artistic place cards bore the names
of Mesdames Hill, Wilmore, Toomer,
Shi, Beson, Hixon, Thomas, Killebrew,
Scott, Showalter, A. 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.

Carl E. Widebreg
Gets Promotion
Carl E. 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.

president gave a spirited pep talk,
Let's show them that we're he-men,
Make them think that a ferocious ti­ger
is eating them up. 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-

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.

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.
