Coach Chester A. "Chet" Wynne
was presented to the student body by
President Bradford Knapp at the hon
ors convocation held Thursday at elev­en
o'clock in Langdon Hall.
The new head football coach, in
• thanking the student body and facul
ty members for the splendid reception
tendered him, assured them that they
would receive his fullest cooperation
Following Coach Wynne's- talk, the
new members of the Executive Cabi
net were installed, and after this,
members of the following organiza­tions
were presented: Lamps, Tau
Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Spade,
and Omicron Delta Kappa,. New "A"
letter men were presented; winners of
the Livestock Judging Contest were
then announced.
In conclusion Dr. Knapp spoke brief­ly
on the stadium plans. He stated
that although he was "certain to put
it over," he was a little disappointed
in the attitude taken by the students
in regard to the plan. Prexy express­ed
the desire that each class would
meet for the purpose of appointing
a committee which could meet with
the alumni to formulate definite plans.
He also stated that he was assured
of more than one alumnus who would
give $10,000 to the project. /

Expressing appreciation to the mem­bers
of the "A" Club for its coopera­tion
and friendliness to the Auburn
Band, officials of the latter organiza­tion
commended the athletes for dona­ting
to the band proceeds of the dance
held Saturday night.
The donation will help make possi­ble
the purchasing of a set of badly
needed tympani.
"That campus organizations can be
closely allied and cooperate to the ful­lest
extent, is shown by the fact that
the "A" Club donated proceeds from
its dance Saturday night to the band
fund," one of the officers stated. "The
"A" Club has aided us materially, in­asmuch
as they are helping to make
possible the purchasing of a set of
tympani, which is badly needed by
the band.
"We appreciate immensely the lib­eral
donation, and assure 'A' Club
members of our heartiest cooperation
at all possible times."

Governor Graves Is Initiated
Into Military Honor Society
Into the mysteries of Scabbard and
Blade, national honorary military frat­ernity,
the aims of which are to pro­mote
and perpetuate the highest ideals
in military affairs, Governor Bibb
Graves was initiated here at an early
hour Monday morning.
Governor and Mrs. Graves came to
Auburn late Sunday and spent the
night as the guests of President and
Mrs. Knapp. At four o'clock Mon­day
morning he and Dr. Knapp arose,
dressed, and went to a designated
point near the campus where they
were met by a group of students in
uniform, Dr. Knapp being an honorary
member of the organization. They
were marched southward to the crest
of a high hill. There they were sta­tioned.
Shortly before the sun came
up the Auburn company of Scabbard
and Blade, accompanied by Major John
T. Kenedy, commandant, and other
members of the R. O. T. C. staff at
Auburn, marched up the hill in im­pressive
form to initiate the Gover­nor
into the secrets of the order.
The initiation was performed at
sun-up with the Governor facing to­ward
the east. Capt. T. P. Archer,
of Gadsden and captain of the Auburn
company of Scabbard and Blade, was
in charge of the exercises, assisted by
First Lt. A. C. Taylor, Second Lt. W.
W. Hill, Jr., and First Sgt. H. D.
Mosley.
After being initiated into the order,
Governor Graves spoke impressively
about military affairs. As Governor

"I have heard many orators make
addresses on our Memorial Day,"
said ex-Gov. W. D. Jelks, "but never
a more charming and informing one
than the talk of Dr. George Petrie
of Auburn, at the exercises in my
home town on April 26. It was not
only full of historic facts, but evi­denced
an appreciation of the men
who wore the gray couched in most
beautiful words. Dr. Petrie is a

America's greatest historians."—
Birmingham News.
Three senior officers of the R.O.T.C.
unit will terminate their duties in
Auburn at the end of the present
school year. Orders from Washington
detail the officers to new posts and at
the end of school they will report
immediately to their assigned stations.
The officers who are leaving are
Captain B. Conn Anderson, Field Ar­tillery,
who will go to Fort Sill, Okla­homa,
the home of the Field Artillery
School; 1st Lieutenant G. B. Barth,
Field Artillery, who will go to the
16th Field Artillery at Fort Myer,
Virginia, just across the Potomac

The 1930 Glomerata has already
gone to press and will be ready for
distribution on, or before, May 19, ac­cording
to C. F. Davis, editor-in-chief
of the annual. The notice of the exact
date of the release of the publication
will be posted on the windows of the
downtown stores at a later date. Stu­dents
are requested to call promptly
at the Glomerata office in the base­ment
of the Boy's dormitory for the
annuals when they arrive.
The beauty section of the publica­tion
will be featured by ten full-page
picutres of some of the South's most
charming beauties. Artists chose the
following young belles to adorn the
pages of the beauty section: Misses
Ann Cowart, of Birmingham; Ger­trude
Craig, of Birmingham; Inez
Eddins, of Frisco City; Rose Gunter,
of Montgomery; Margaret Wood, of
Troy; Frances Ransom, of Aberdeen,

The new edition of the annual will
be larger in volume and of greater
dimentions than any previous issue,
being a 9 x 12 inch copy of 360 pages,
characterized by humor throughout.
Numerous cartoons and comic sketches
will feature college life on the campus.
Another significant change that has
been made is the enlargement of the
sports section to forty pages. Indi­vidual
pictures and full-view action
pictures will be shown of the various
athletes. The design of the fraternity
panels has been changed so as to
utilize space and to make the pictures
of the individual pictures more dis­tinct.
The extra copies of the Glomerata
will also be sold at the Glomerata
office while the annuals are being
distributed, according to an announce­ment
by the editor.
NEW OFFICERS ARE
ELECTED BY BAND
Drey Is New President Of Student

Band officers for the coming year
were elected Monday at a meeting of
the band called for that purpose. The
newly elected officers are as follows:

vice-president, A. W. Headley, of
of Montgomery; and business manag­er,
J. R. Quinlivan, Jr., of Mobile.

Players to Give Final
Presentations Monday
Officers Are Elected at Meeting Held
Monday
The last plays given this year by
the Auburn Players will be presented
Monday evening at the "Y" Hut, when
a group of three plays will be acted.
Last Monday "Love in a French
Kitchen was" was presented, with
Marguerite Cromartie, Bessie Raby,
and Jimmy as the characters. It was
directed by Ruby Lee Home. The
play was attended my a moderate
group of students and townspeople.
An election of officers for the com­ing
year was held, and the following
were chosen: Margaret Lawrenz,
president; Leonard W. Thomas, vice-president;
Mildred Wood, secretary;
Murff Hawkins, treasurer; and T. O.
Kuykendall, stage manager.
One hundred eight square feet of
cones, or 2,700 ice cream cones are
consumed daily by Auburn students
according to a survey of Auburn's
favorite indoor sport—eating—just
completed by Eugenia Smith, student
in English under Dr. Charles Weaver.
But more substantial food is on the
Auburn students' bill of fare as is
shown by the fact that at the college
cafeteria alone students at 25,145
pounds of meat between September,
1928, and May, 1929, inclusive. This
would amount to 100 pounds for each
day, or a total of 100 fat hogs, 50
beeves, or 500 lambs.
However, meat does not take first
place in Auburn's diet, the study
shows. The average student selects
his menu carefully, including gener­ous
supplies of vegetables, fruits,
rice, bread, and the like.
The average daily sales at the cafe­teria
include 450 glasses of milk, 126
cups of coffee, two dozen heads of
lettuce, 20 pounds cabbage, 176 ser­vings
of pie, 100 servings of pudding,
and 75 servings of cake. Popular be­tween
meal lunches are apples, ham
sandwiches, peanuts, popcorn, drinks,
and candy.
Thirty boarding houses and hotels
provide meals for one to 60 students
each. In addition, approximately 20
fraternities feed from 20 to 40 each.
A cafe, several sandwich shops, and
several drugstores, and the A. P. I.
cafeteria complete the list of Auburn
eating establishments.

THE PLAINSMAN
thinks that Honors Convocation has
gained great prominence on the campus
in the one year that it has been here. It
is probably the most appropriate way to
introduce the men who have been honored
for their college achievements to the stu­dent
body. The next objective should be
to hold convocations in which honor frat­ernities
could be "sold" to the freshmen
and sophomores so that they would know
the requirements and what was necessary
for eligibility in them.

believes that the Tigers have at last
struck their stride. Even though the sea­son
is ending, the team finished with a
strong stride.
Coach W y n n e Finds
Welcome In A u b u rn
Last Saturday Auburn had not even no­ticed
the man who was quietly taking in
the situation out on Drake Field where
the freshmen and the track team were
both emerging victorious, but when the
word circulated that the stranger was
Coach Chester Wynne, an expression of
satisfaction suddenly covered every face.
It seems that Coach Wynne's entrance
into Auburn was significant in that it was
a modest bow rather than one- of show;
his first impression was one that has last­ing
qualities, for it is unconsciously ap­preciated.
He came at a time when the institution
is sorely in need of a man, who can lead
her from the athletic rut she has found
herself in for almost a decade of years.
Besides being in the cellar in one of the
chief sports, Auburn's athletics have been
in a bad way financially.
A few years ago there was neither ma­terial
or a leader available, but conditions
improved somewhat and Auburn was se­lected
by students who were good foot­ball
material, but the successes were few
for still no one was here to turn this raw
material into a coordinated football ma­chine.
And now after a long search we
have one of the outstanding young coaches
in the country. His ability as a coach is
recognized and appreciated, but he is a
successful citizen and coach because he
is a man. Players fight for him and people
like him, and it takes more than a know­ledge
of the game to cause this. Fine
football coaches have been in Auburn be­fore,
but they lacked something that we
believe Wynne has—that something that
can turn a mechanical athletic machine
into an animated fighting organization
that never ceases to fight because it does
not know what it is to stop.
The new coach has a hard task before
him in Auburn, for the institution and its
friends are hungry for athletic achieve­ments
that many fruitless years have fail­ed
to give; they may expect more than
it is humanly possible for one to accom­plish
if he has not been here for sometime;
they probably do, but we believe that
their expectations are to be reasonably
fulfilled while Coach Wynne is here. He
has a way of letting his accomplishments
do his talking—so far they have been
praising him and there is little reason to
think that the same success will not be
his here.
We want to see the. students, the facul­ty,
the administration, the friends, and
alumni of the college stand behind the
new athletic director, to help him, to co­operate
with him in a manner that will
be helpful in bringing Auburn again to
the top in Southern football. The next
few years are the best chance that Auburn
has had of doing this in a long time, and
we are of the opinion that if the warm
welcome he has received is indicative of
the support that is to be his, other colleges
will soon be stiffling in the dust of Au­burn's
victories.
"A" Club Donates Money
For Band Instruments
One of the finest examples of one or­ganization
on the campus cooperating with
another is that of the "A" Club helping
the Auburn Band purchase some band in­struments.
Some of the money from the
dance last Saturday night was used for
this worthy purpose.
It was very necessary that the purchase
be made this year as a great saving could
be made. It was impossible for the band
to finance this without the aid of some
other organization; accordingly, the athle­tic
group was approached. Their willing­ness
to help the band in this respect is
very commendable; it shows a desire to
promote anything for the advancement or
improvement of a worthy organization.
The money could not have been invested
better as the band probably plays a more
important role in student life on the cam­pus
than any other one group.
Alumni Meeting To Be
Scene of Important Work
Plans are under way for the largest
alumni gathering on the 19th of May that
has been held in Auburn. For the first
time organized delegations from many sec­tions
of the state are to attend.
Many important topics are to be con­sidered
at this annual meeting, which is
to be featured by talks by Dr. Knapp and
Coach Wynne. C. F. DeBardeleben will
be the speaker of the alumni. It is in­teresting
to note that some of the first
classes in Auburn's history will hold re­unions,
the oldest class being that of '72.
Auburn is in the midst of the greatest
building program in her history and it is
significant to see such a gigantic gather­ing
of alumni and to view the reunion of
classes, some of which date back more than
half a century. Her welfare occupies an
important place in their lives; the topics
to be under discussion will center around
the continuation- of the great expansive
program now being carried out. Every
day the alumni are falling more in line
in an effort to place the college in an
even more conspicuous light as a leading
educational institution.
SOUTHERN SPEECH
It took a full half hour's conversation
with a Chicagoan to convince us that sev­eral
little colloquialisms we have been us­ing
these many years were looked upon as
being downright humorous to Northern
and Mid-Western ears. In. fact, having
used such idioms and phrases and having
heard them constantly upon the lips of our
friends and associates, we had not thought
of their being colloquialisms or provincial­isms
at alL But such they are to the crisp-talking
stranger from the stockyards and
machine gun district out Lake Michigan
way.
Take this good old time-honored reply of
"sure enough," which we have been using
as a miscellaneous retort to almost any re­mark
on the part of our friends. The chi­cagoan
explained that it was silly and
senseless. "We never hear that up North,"
he said. "I don't understand why you say
it down South. Someone is likely to deply
'sure enough' if I happen to say that I
think it is going to rain, or that I made
a 45 score on the golf links."
As one who is guilty sometimes of lapsing
into the easily-acquired negro pronunci­ation,
"sho' nuff," we had little to argue
in this direction. However, in pondering
over the subject, it seems to us, grammar
and logic notwithstanding, that "sure
enough" is a mighty apt retort to a person
when you have nothing else to say.
Take this idiom, "I'm fixing to go" for
instance, as the specialist in another oc­cupation
would say. It certainly has its
strong points, but it draws laughter from
the Northerners. "Fixing" in this connec­tion
means preparing to do a certain thing
down South, but it brings a laugh else­where.
Of course, the Chicagoan touched on the
omnipresent "you all" which the true
Southerner holds as dearly to his heart as
he does unsweetened cornbread and his
personal honor. He said he never heard it
in the North. "If I happen to hear it be­hind
my back," he said, "I'm always willing
to bet it's coming from a negro or a South­erner."
But he went on to say that the
speech of Southerners soothed his ear be­fore
he had been down South a month and
he blushingly admitted to having picked up
a few of the expressions that seem natural
enough to the rest of us. When he took
leave from two of us, he managed to get
off a most natural "you all" in asking us
to visit him in the town made famous by
Alphonse Capone.—Charlotte Observer.
Digging in a garden often improves one's
philosophy more than the reading of books.

I would like very
much indeed to get
an expression of this
student body regard­ing
the stadium. The
students' attitude on
this matter is of the
greatest possible im­portance.
I recognize
that I shall have very
important.,, duties as
an administrator in helping to put this
campaign over. I want to get it started
right. I want to get the right combin­ations.
I feel personally that it is a very
important matter. Would it be asking
too much for the classes' to get together
and vote and certify to me their answers
to the following questions:
1. Are you in favor of building a sta­dium
at Auburn so that we. may have "home
and home" games with other institutions?
2. Are you in favor of appointing the
Executive Cabinet of the Association of
Undergraduate Students as the committee
to represent the student body in perfect­ing
the plan with the administration of the
college and the Alumni Association for
the building of such a stadium?
3. Or would you favor the appointment
of a special committee of the student body
to handle the relation of the student body
to the stadium problem and how would you
appoint this committee.
4. Would you be willing to make a small
contribution while you are a student at
this institution, beginning next year, to
create a stadium fund provided, of course,
that contributions were made by friends
of the institution, by the alumni, and from
the receipts from games whenever the de­ficit
in athletics is paid up and the income
of the Athletic Association is sufficient to
permit a percentage to be used for the
stadium fund?
I should like to have the president and
secretary of each class give me the vote
recording the number in favor and the
number opposed on each of these ques­tions.
I cannot help but believe that if
this is done honestly and conscientiously it
will be helpful. Every college in the
Southern Conference now except this one
has a stadium either built or under way.
I do not believe this student body wants
to lag at the bottom of the list.
* * * *
It did my heart good to hear the old
yells given so vigorously at the Honors
Convocation when Chet Wynne was intro­duced
as Head Coach. I like the way
things are going with no boasting, no pre­dicting,
no forecasting—just earnest, con­scientious
work. The best way to bring
the athletics of this institution out is just
that kind of work.
* * * *
There will be some building operations
going on this summer in Auburn, and I
feel sure that we are going to be able to
take care of a number of students who
need jobs. At least we shall do the best
we can along that line.
* * * *
Commencement is coming. Let me re­peat
what I said at convocation. We owe
it to ourselves to see that the auditorium
is well filled to hear these prominent men
who have come at our invitation to de­liver
addresses.
* * * *
Thoughtless or negligent injury to an­other's
property is a reproach to anyone.
America has fought longest and hardest to
maintain the right to property, and every
citixen by the laws of this state and of the
federal government is secure in the rights
rf his person and of his property. These
are fundamentals of our form of govern­ment
which everyone owes it to himself to
learn in his youth. A lack of respect for
these rights plus a lack of respect for the
iaw itself are the things really at the bot­tom
of lawlessness in America. I am say­ing
this to call students' attention to some
thoughtless injuries to property which
have been reported to me in the country
around about Auburn. Farmers have
charged it to the students. I have no evi­dence
that there is any truth in the charge
yet I feel I should bring it to your atten­tion.
The charge was the cutting of wire
fences, the letting out of cattle causing
loss of time and expense to the farmers.
We enjoy the privilege in many places
around Auburn of going into the woods
especially at this time of the year. I hope
we shall not do anything which would
make us unwelcome guests because guests
we are whenever we go upon someone
else's property.

Most of the sorrows of the world come
from disease, dissipation, and lack of self-control.
I wish young men knew how ab­solutely
scientifically true are the old
statements of the Bible itself when it says
that "the sins of the father are visited on
the children even to the fourth genera­tion."
I wish every man student in col­lege
knew how the social evil and these so-called
social sins and the diseases which
accompany this evil have filled our insane

Regardless of what has been said above the Co-eds have the same sentiment as is

They find them again.
Men are queer creatures;
I like men.
I like men
They stride about,
They reach in their pockets
And pull things out;

STUDENTS STAGE CARNIVAL
King Carnival reigned at Northwestern
university recently, when the students put
across a collegiate carnival. More than
one thousand students co-operated in stag­ing
the "World's Greatest Collegiate Cir­cus."
Rides, sideshows, booths, and a num­ber
of other features were the daily at­tractions.
Some of the main features were
the two big tent performances in the eve­ning,
water circus exhibitions in the af­ternoons,
the sorority relays at three on
Friday, the vaudeville tent, and auto
show, and a television sideshow. Over
thirty-five acts were presented in the big
three-ring tent show.

COSTLY CELEBRATION
Washington and Lee's annual freshman

A bill of $887.67 for damages wrought by

presented by the city to the treasurer of
the university. The statement included
$490 for fire hose, $75 for damage to a
hoxe reel, $75 for the cleaning of the
building egged by the joyous frosh, and
$75 where three bon-fires were built.
Thirty thousand gallons of water were al­so

their convocation entertainment numbers
for the coming year. Twenty-nine differ­ent
numbers are up for consideration from
which ten are to be chosen. The list in­cludes
such prominent figures as Admiral
Byrd, Albert Spalding, Gen Greet, George
Russel, and Clarence Darrow. This method
of selecting the years entertainment pro­gram

LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE
Another time-worn theory, that college
professors know only about the subjects
they teach, was refuted this week when
Prof. Goering offered Abernethy a few
words of consolation over his political de­feat.
"You are not ready for life yet.
Abernethy," stated the professor. "When
you have experienced three disappoint­ments;
one in love, one in politics, and
one in business, then you are ready for
the world." Usually the world to come.

ALL things good or bad must at
some time come to a close. The
path of an enterprise, function, or
endeavor must at some time realize the
ultimate finale. For a movie the one and
only grand finale is for the leading lady
and man to delve deeply and amorously
in the realms of osculation; for a college
education it is a diploma with the gov­ernor's
signature presented midst the back­ground
of graduation exercises; for a
column of personal comments it, perhaps,
should be a placid, complacent, and un­ostentatious
fade-out. Whatever it is I
am at loss as to just how to bring this
weekly jaunt into the confines of nothing
to a close befitting something which start­ed
without cause, lasted without cause,
and is now dying without even an excuse.
The final act of most things ends with a
flourish leaving a pleasant taste, but the
drawing of the curtain on this column
might well be likened to the drawing of
a pretty curtain on an empty offensive
stage. Looking back on any finished en­deavor
the final panorama always looks
more pleasant than the prosecution of the
details of the endeavor; so looking back
on the panorama of this column I see only
the pleasant incidents connected with it.

rT",HERE are two classes of students who
•*• may make a poor showing in any ex­amination.
The first class is composed of
the nervous, sensitive, high-strung students,
and the other class includes the noncha­lant
and blase.
The nervous, hyper-sensitive student
fears any unusual test and is never at
his best under strain. For him anticipa­tion
is even worse than reality. But what
sort of life is it that cannot stand a sud­den
strain? "An unexamined life", said
Socrates, "is not worth living." What
would be the value of an automobile whose
engine could not be safely tested before
it leaves the builders? Whatever cannot
be subjected to emergency test is essen­tially
unsound and unfit for daily use.
On the other hand some students never
do well in examinations because they car­ry
an assumed superiority and indifference
to all tests. They decline to worry and
ostentatiously; neglect to prepare. But
the man who never rouses himself to meet
an emergency never discovers his own pow­ers.
Through pride or indifference he lives
habitually below par, exerting perhaps on­ly
fifty per cent of his potential energy.
He can never compete with men of less
ability who are using one hundred per
cent of the energy they possess.
We should also experience the benefit
and exhilaration which comes from a
"birds eye view" of the whole subject at
the end of the term. The daily grind of
lectures or recitations may overwhelm us
with facts and our general ideas become
very vulgar fractions. It is an immense
inspiration at the end of the semester to
rise above hours and classes and dates and
formulas, and look over the whole subject
at once, as a man from a mountain sum­mit
looks down on the valleys through
which he has been trudging. To do the
trudging and then never see the landscape
as a whole would be a blunder.
The world outside of the college is full
of "comprehensive examinations." We
might as well get used to these tests now,
take them rationally, calmly, even smiling­ly,
putting every ounce of energy into
honest preparation and accepting the re­sults
with no alibi, but with an honest
willingness to be judged by our own out­put.
To such a test, in college or after­ward,
a student may go with quiet con­fidence—
something like the spirit express­ed
in Bryant's "Thanatopsis"—
Thy go not like the quarry slave at night,
Scouraged to his dungeon;
But sustained and soothed by an unfalt­ering
trust.
Approach thy grave like one who wraps
the draperies of his couch about him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams.

TO LEAD SENIOR DANCES
Predicts Buildings
Without Windows
St. Louis.—The next important de
velopment in modern architecture will
probably be windowless buildings.
That is the opinion of D. C. Lindsay,
physicist of the Carrier Engineering
Corporation of Newark, N. J. Mr.
Lindsay recently paid a visit to St.
Louis.
"Such a building, ventilated me­chanically,
made liveable the year-round
by manufactured weather, and
lighted artificially, will possess many
advantages over the windowed build­ings
of today, Lindsay said. Going
further into the discussion he pointed
out that the one advantage the win­dowless
buildings has is the elimina­tion
of the window cleaning bill which
assumes large proportions in office
and apartment buildings.

The Auburn Woman's Club review­ed
the work it has accomplished this
year at its "Reciprocity Day" meet­ing
on Thursday at the home of Mrs.
Bradford Knapp.
After Mrs. .basore, the president,
had opened the meeting, Mrs. Knapp
made a short welcoming address to
the guests and members of the club.
She also told of the meeting of the
Alabama Federation last week at
Dothan. Other members have brought
back splendid accounts of the dinner
in Dothan for which Mrs. Knapp ar­ranged
the program, which included
Miss Johnston, Mrs. Toomer, Mr.
Brigham, and a quartet from the Au­burn
Glee Club, all of whom were re­ceived
with enthusiasm.
Mrs. Basore in the president's re­port
told of what the Auburn Club
as a whole has done in the way of
community service as well as intra-club
activities during the year. Social
affairs, attendance of Auburn mem­bers
at functions of other clubs, and
cooperation with organizations of va­rious
types have borne fruit in good
will as well as in definite accomplish­ments.
A series of radio programs,
observance of Education Week and
Alabama Day, the promotion of Au­burn's
Clean-up campaign, and a lec­ture
by and reception for the poet,
Ernest Hartsock, have been among
the features of the club's year. It
has also sent support to the State
Library Association, the Campfire
Council, and to the U. D. C. in its
tree-planting on the Opelika highway.
Mrs. Scott reported 4 new mem­bers
during the year. The reports
of Mrs. Ruffin, secretary, Mrs. P. O.
Davis, treasurer, Mrs. Gosser, audi­tor,
and Mrs. Clara Yarborough,
chairman of ways and means, fol­lowed.
Mr. Langston gave the club mr'
pleasure by singing two songs, ac­companied
by Mrs. Askew.
Mr. Frank Fenton, of the college
English faculty, gave a talk that kept
#
his hearers interested and alert. His
subject was Eugene O'Neill and "De­sire
under the Elmo", "Lazarus
Laughed," and "The Strange Inter­lude."
Supplementing the president's re­port,
the chairman of departments
and standing committees old what had
been accomplished by their groups.
TMrs. B. F. Thomas, chairman of civ­ics,
reported the Flower Shovr, the
support of the U. D. C. tree-planting,
and education of the grammar school
children in wild flowers conserva­tion.
Mrs. Salmon, chairman of the
education division, reported that her
group was helped in its program by
the cooperation of the A. P. I. Edu­cation
faculty. Research was done
on illiteracy and on public instruc­tion.
Mrs. Sewell headed a sub-com­mittee
that very successfully conduct­ed
a children's story hour once a
week. The Home Economics depart­ment
under Mrs. Cecil Yarbrough
spent the year on a study of child
problems. The program of the Lit­erature
group was a study of folk­lore.
One meeting was devoted to
each country chosen, and refresh­ments,
decorations, and intertain-ment
were appropriate to the coun­try
under discussion. Mrs. Bohler
headed the department. Mrs. Doner
reported a miscellaneous program in
the music group," ending with a study
of the operas that were presented in
Atlanta this season. Mrs. Cary re­ported
for Mrs. Biggin, chairman of
the Art department, on a study of
old masters, with a studio tea and a
lecture by Dean Biggin as interest­ing
additional features.
Most important among the stand­ing
committee reports was that of
the scholarship committee which di­rects
the revolving fund for loans to
women students.
Guests of the club were introduced
next. They were representatives
from out-of-town clubs, Auburn's
patriotic Societies, and the Business
and Professional Woman's Club.
Officers of the Auburn Woman's
Club for next year are:
President—Mrs. Basore.
1st vice-pres.—Mrs. Showalter.
2nd vice-pres.—Mrs. J. W. Scott.
Secretary—Mrs. Adams.

but the new officers are already pre­paring
plans for another busy winter.
Annual Flower Show Is
' Beaytiful Event
Masses oi ^ "«ed the Episco­pal
Parish House t* day and Satur­day
when the Woman's Club put on
Auburn's third annual Flower Show.
The focal point of the decorations
was an enclosed formal garden de­signed
by Miss Gatchell and carried
out in shrubs, evergreens, and pot­ted
plants in beds of rocks. Around
the garden and in other rooms were
tables covered with the Auburn en­tries,
and . splendid blossoms and
shrubs entered by non-residents
banked the walls.
In the artistic center piece classes
Mrs. High, Miss Neva Winston and
Mrs. J. C. Lowery won first prizes,
and Miss Susie Wright, Mrs. Jude
Robinson and Mrs. Showalter took
second places. The sweepstake was
won by Mrs. Jude Robinson with Mr.
Kirkley second. The prizes were do­nated
by florists and individuals.
The show was a great success.
There were 140 entries and the quali­ty
of the blooms showed much im­provement
over last year's. Between
200 and 300 people came in to see
thpyWowers. Mrs. B. F. Thomas,

AUBURN DEFEATS CLEMSON IN
TWO GAMES FIRST OF WEEK
Clemson College, S. C, May 6.—
Auburn scored five runs in the tenth
inning today to defeat Clemson for
the second time.
Clemson opened up a slugfest in
the ninth to -overcome a six-run lead,
but a walk, a man hit by the pitcher,
and four hits proved too much for
them in the last inning.

Georgia Downs Tech
Team On Wet Track
Running in a downpour of rain the
T?i?orgia Bullffog track team continued
its wini3?«s. streak over Tech, which
began with football and licked the Lsecond, Maddox (G.); third, Graydon
Jackets, 78 1-2 to 47 1-2 at Sanford
Field track Saturday afternoon.
Three Georgia men scored 38 of
Bulldog's points, Buck Anderson win­ning
three first places in shot put,
Javelin and discus; Maddox taking
first in both hurdle races and second
-in the 100-yard dash, and Captain
Bob Young winning first in the mile
and a half mile.
Hamm, Tech ace, won first place in
the 100, 220, and broad jump.
Tech had Georgia outclassed in the
dashes, but the Bulldogs gained
enough points in distance, hurdles
and field events to offset this Tech
advantage.
Rain, after the first few events
slowed up the track and prevented
both teams from making good time.
A large crowd of track fans braved
the severe weather to watch Tech and
Georgia renew their ancient fued in
typical Tech-Georgia weather.
Today's track victory marked the
fourth major Bulldog victory over
Tech during the current year.
As their brother Bulldogs were
licking Tech in track, the Bullpups
tied the Tech freshmen track team,
7 to 7. Only first places counted in
the score and they counted only one
point.
The track was wet and both teams
were handicapped.
Sam Brown, frosh halfback in foot­ball
and now hurdler, won the low
hurdles for the Red and Black, dis­playing
unusually rare form and
speed in outrunning his Tech rivals.

The Tigers won a hectic 11-inning
game from Clemson 4 to 3 here Mon­day
afternoon. The winning run
came when Burt doubled and scored
after Kaley's single got away from
Ramey. The Plainsmen scored two
in the second inning as Newton and
Burt hit consecutive home runs.

TIGERS PREPAREFOR
CLOSING OF SEASON
Returning from a successful inva­sion
of Georgia and South Carolina
the Plainsmen base bailers arrived
in Auburn Wednesday and immedi­ately
started preparations for the re­maining
games on their 1930 sched­ule.
Mercer, Howard and Vander-bilt
are the three teams to be faced
before the curtain is lowered on this
year's campaign.
Mercer will be encountered here
Friday and Saturday; Howard here,
May 12 and 13 and in Birmingham
May 15 and Vanderbilt will be faced
in Nashville, May 16 and 17. The
tills with Vandy will bring to a close
the twenty-nine game schedule play­ed
by Capt. Jim Crawford and Com­pany.
In meeting Mercer the Plainsmen
will be engaging a mighty strong
team. The Bears were barely de­feated
by Oglethorpe last week and
the Petrels are boasting of probably
the strongest college team in Dixie.
Both Mercer-Oglethorpe battles were
decided by one run margins.
Coach Fred Sheridan fully real­izes
that the final games on Au­burn's
schedule will be against strong
teams so strenuous practice sessions
will be in the offing for the Plains­men
as their mentor is very anxious
for them to finish above .500 in his
first season at coaching a college
nine.
Judging from the reports of the
Auburn-Georgia and A.uburn-Clemson
series played on the recent road
jaunt, the Plainsmen are playing bet­ter
ball than,they did against Flori­da,
Georgia Tech and Enterprise. At
least, they are coming from behind to
win games.

Oglethorpe Ekes Out
Victory Over Mercer
The Oglethorpe Petrels fought an
uphill battle against the Mercer
Bears at" Luther Williams Field Sat­urday
in the second game of the se­ries,
and by pulling a freak double
play in the eleventh inning were able
to eke out a victory over the Bruins,
11 to 10.
Mercer came to bat in the eleventh,
trailing, 11 to 9. Joe Marion and
Peggy Campbell walked in succession.
Alderman popped to Anderson, Kirk-land
hit to short and Appling let the
ball go through, Marion scoring,
Campbell taking third and Marion go­ing
to second on the throw-in. Roy
Johnson, who had relieved Bellew at
third in the tenth, got a single from
Coach Harold McNabb to bunt. Wall
wound up and Campbell started
home; Johnson bunded a little pop
toward third and Wall"caught it on
the fly and threw to Appling for a
double play, ending one of the most
thrilling ball games ever seen in Ma­con.
Everything in baseball's category,
both good and bad, was demonstrat­ed
during the afternoon. The con­test
was forced into extra innings
when Oglethorpe scored four runs in
the seventh to tie. Up until the
seventh the Bears had a lead of 7
to 3. And, incidentally, it was in the
seventh that Oglethorpe took the lead
over Mercer Friday. Bennett, first
up, went out at center. Frank An­derson,
the son of the Petrel's coach,
who had to play third because of an
injury received by Herrin, was hit
by Stapleton. Martin singled to cen­ter,
Anderson taking second, Ap­pling
tripled to left, Anderson and
Martin scoring. Wall walked. Gard­ner
singled, scoring Appling, and
Wall took third. Wall scored when
Kimbrell forced Gardner at second,
and the marker tied the count.
Oglethorpe untied the score in its
half of the tenth, scoring two runs
on Joe Marion's error, a fielder's
choice, a stolen base and two singles
in succession. Not to be outdone the
Bears came to bat in their half of
Forty-Seven Men
Answer Call To
Practice Sessions
New Coach Enthusiastically
ceived by Players
Re-
With forty-seven men out for the
football squad, Coach Wynne has
been putting the boys through the
mill during the past week. He has
among the squad some strong conten­ders
for regular berths that came up
from the Freshmen squad and also
all of the men who went out for the
first Spring training from the var­sity
squad.
A big squad is out and it seems as
if Auburn has the best material they
have had in a long time. The team,
at the present will average around a
165 or a 175 pounds and with the
number of men reporting this is an
exceptionally large squad for Au­burn.
The team has been working out in
track suits and have -been working
on the new form of play introduced
here by Coach Wynne. They have
caught on to this form of play in an
exceptionally short while and the
team is beginning to round into
shape. Although the weather has
been hot for the training the team
has been working hard and seem
willing to tolerate the heat to make
a good showing for "Chet" and this
is a good indication of the fashion in
which he was accepted by the players.
All of the latter part of the week
the squad has been running signals,
passing and working on the other
forms of workout that Coach Wynne
is putting them through. From all
of the present indications Coach
Wynne is going to be a big success
as the boys are showing a willing­ness
not noted before to work and
train for him.
AUBURN NOSES OUT
TULANE TRACKMEN
Frosh Forsake Diamond
For Gridiron Practices
Because eight regulars on the frosh
baseball nine are football players
and are reporting for the second
Spring training now being conducted
on Drake Field by Coach Chet Wynne
the first-year hickory wielders at the
Cornerstone have forsaken the dia­mond
for the gridiron until next
Monday when they will resume prac­tice
for the final games on their 1930
schedule. Only three more contests
remain, all with Southern Military
Academy, Greensboro.
The Cadets will be played in
Greensboro, Thursday, May 15 and in
Auburn Friday and Saturday, May
16 and 17.
The Orange and Blue yearlings
have won three games from the Geor­gia
Tech rats and lost one tilt each to
Fort Benning and the Baby Jackets.
Both of the losses resulted from
failing to hit with runners on the
hassocks.
Southern has a strong team this
year but the Tiger Cubs are expected
to emerge from the final series on
their schedule with three victories.
the tenth and again knotted the
count. Alderman walked. Kirkland
singled, Alderman taking third. Hol-comb
came in from left to relieve
Wall. He walked Johnson and
Stapleton in succession, pushing over
one run for the Bears, and then Wall
went back to the mound. Matt hit a
fly to left and Kirkland scored on the
throw-in. The next two batters flied
out and on came the eleventh inning.
Although he did not pitch but sev­en
balls, Jimmy Wilkes, who was sent
to the mound for Mercer in the
eleventh, was charged with losing the
i game.

Auburn won its third track meet
of the season here Saturday by de­feating
Tulane, 60 Y2 to 51 Vz. Pre­viously
the Tiger cinder path artists
had defeated Georgia and won the
Southeastern A. A. U. meet last Satur­day.
The Tulane contest was not decided
until the final event. William Cole­man,
Birmingham, broke his second

Freshmen And Varsity
In Dual Meets Today
Today marks the initial appearance
of the Freshman track squad and al­so
a dual meet with the Georgia Tech
by the varsity aggregation.
This will be the first appearance
for the Freshman team but they are
expected to come out on the top with
the Freshmen of Tech. They have
shown up well all during the season
and on one of the biggest freshmen
track team in many a year have
been fighting for the honifcr of run­ning
in this meet. Kaley winner of
Cake Race is a strong contender for
honors along the distance line and
should come in with some honors to
his credit.
Boyden has also been showing up
well for the Freshmen and should
place in this meet. There are sev­eral
other good Freshmen who will
try and win their numerals and the
chances of the Freshmen coming out
on the big end of the dual score is
a good one.
The varsity team won their meet
with Tulane last week, by a narrow
margin, but they are expected to
make a better showing against the
Tech trackmen. The battle with the
Tulane team was closely contested
and was won by Auburn on the broad
jumping of Burnett who took first
place in that event.
Coleman, the Auburn strong man,
will be one of the mainstays of the
Tiger team and he is expected to
chalk up his regular two first places
in the discus and the shot put. In
the meet with the Tulane team he
broke the Auburn record in the dis­cus
throw and also won first place
in the shot put.
Captain Bell was off form in the
Tulane meet but he is expected to
come out of the slump and win first
in the 440 yard dash and from all
indications he will do so.
This is the last meet on the sched­ule
for the track team and this seas­on,
as all others, Coach Hutsell has
converted a weak looking team into
a winning one by hard work and
plenty of good coaching. The track
Athens, Ga., May 3.—Playing a
close game, partly because of the
wet field, the Bulldogs took a trim­ming
at the hands of Auburn here
Saturday, 8 to 7. In spite of the six­teen
hits the Tigers gathered off two
Bulldog pStchers to the eight for
the Red and Black, the Georgia team
put up its sorriest exhibition of the
year and miscues afield, coupled with
bad judgment, had more to do with
the downfall than the numerous Tig­er
safeties.
The game was a see-saw affair
with first one team taking the lead
and then the other. Auburn got first
blood when it scored in the first and
again in the third before the Bull­dogs
found their batting eye in their
half.
Georgia put over three in the
third and two more in the fifth to
get a six-run lead, but Auburn came
back in the sixth . and made two
doubles, two walks and an error count
for four runs.
Georgia scored two in tb.e seventh
and went out in front again, but
Auburn came back in the eighth with
two more to regain the lead which
it never relinquished. Auburn scor­ed
its deciding runs when Riley
singled to right and was safe at sec­ond
on a poor throw from first when
Rothstein tried to get him on a field­er's
choice. Riley scored on Mc-
Gaughey's wide throw home when
Crawford was safe at first. Prim
scored when Catfish Smith's perfect
peg home after catching Burt's sac­rifice
fly, was ruined by Chandler
who charged in from the box to catch
it before it reached Gorman. Smith's
peg was ten feet ahead of Prim when
Chandler stopped it.
Thus it was that Georgia bit the
dust, or to be more exact the fresh
mud, at Sanford Field. Coach White's
boys put up a pretty good scrap,
but they made too many mistakes to
take their fourth straight over Au­burn.
Big Ben Newton, Tiger first-sack-er
and also football tackle, got four
hits out of five trips to the plate and
Crawford, of Auburn, and Cliff Mc-
Gaughey, of Georgia, each got three
safe cracks.
Prime gave up eight bingles, Simp­son,
who relieved Chandler in the
ninth, one, and Chandler was touched
safely fifteen times.
Rain threatened to prevent the
game, but it finally started a little
late, and dragged through three
hours. Charley Kaley, Auburn catch­er
was injured and forced to retire
from the game in the seventh, being
replaced by Brown.

World'sRotation
Being Increased
Dr. Ernest W. Brown Says Ro­tation
Changed In 1897
and 1917
Philadelphia—(IP)—That, contra-ry
to the general belief, the world
is speeding up in its rotation on its
axis, is the belief of Dr. Ernest W.
Brown, professor of mathematics at
Yale, who spoke at the closing ses­sion
of the meeting of the American
Philosophical Society here.
Professor Brown's address was giv­en
on astronomy, and he declared
that for a number of years the earth
seems to lag in its rotation, and then
speed up for a number of years.
There were sudden changes in its
rate of rotation in 1897 and again in
1917, he said, and it is likely that
there will be another similar change
within a few years.
At first he said, this variation was
attributed to the moon. Often the
moon appeared to be late at such
function as the aculation of a star,
causing something like a scandal in
astronimical circles.
"Observations were made of these
supposed deviations in the orbit of
the moon," Dr. Brown declared,
"Then observations of the sun show­ed
the same variations, indicating
that perhaps the earth rather than
the moon was in error. Observations
in the planets Venus and Mercury
and finally on the four statellites of
Jupiter, favor of the theory of a
variation of the rotation of the earth
that we can proceed on the basis
that it is a fact."

Websterian Literary
Society Elects Officers
The Websterian Literary Society
elected the following officers for 1930-
1931:
President, Sam Williams, Ag. Ed.,
Dogwood, Ala.; Vice-President, Libby
Jean Israel, General, West Blocton,
Ala.; Secretary, C. D. Brooks, Chemi­cal
Engineering, Auburn, Ala.; Treas­urer,
Murff Hawkins, Civil Engineer­ing,
Birmingham, Ala.; Sergeant at
Arms, Isaac Ledbetter, Civil Engineer
ing, Birmingham, Ala.
London—(IP)—A new world has
been opened to scientists exploring
the jungles of British Guiana, ac­cording
to information reaching here
through leaders of the Oxford bio­logical
expedition to that country.
According to these scientists, the
floor of the jungle is dark, because
the trees are matted above with vines.
"Up to the present," says Major
R. W. Hingston, leader of the expe­dition,
"naturalists have worked only
on the floor of the jungles. Of the
animals, plants, insects living on the
almost solid canopy above they have
known practically nothing. Our ex­pedition
camped in a patch of prim­eval
forest practically on t he
equator. This forest—a dense as­semblage
of tall, straight trees—has
stood practically unchanged for cent­uries.
For the first 78 feet the tree
trunks are without branches, but
above that the foliage spreads out and
intertwines to form a solid roof.
"Never can the sun penetrate to
that dismal darkness. But 130 feet
above the floor of the forest on this
canopy, we found an amazing con­trast.
We looked out on a green
plain raised and lowered into hills
and valleys. There was plenty of
gay color and innumerable animal
life."
Hitting Pitcher
Loses Ball Game
Kingsburg, Cal. —(IP)— Pitcher
Nelson, of the Sangor High School
baseball team, is credited with the
loss of a game to Kingsburg high
school here, and it is more than a
matter of statistics.
The score was tied 0 to 0 in the
last half of the ninth.
Nelson pitching for Sangor, struck
the first batter, and he went to first.
Nelson hit the next batter, and
he went to first, forcing the first
batter to second.
Nelson hit the third batter and
filled the bases.
Then while the crowd gasped, he
hit the fourth batter, and forced in
the winning run.

Education Students
Visit Tallassee High
The class in "laboratory technic",
headed by Dr. J. G. Kuderna, made a
trip to Tallassee last Monday to in­spect
and observe the work in the
science laboratories in the Tallassee
high school shops.
Frank DuBose, former Auburn stu­dent
and athlete who is now coach and
in charge of the Tallassee high school
shops, along with Mr. Robinson,
science teacher, and Mr. Smith, su
perintendent of the high school es­corted
the party,through the labora­tories.
According to those who made
he trip the Tallassee shops and labo­ratories
are as ideal and well equip­ped
as any in the state.
Those making the trip were: Dr. J.
G. Kuderna, D. W. Clements, J. D.
Jackson, W. C. Kelley, W. W. Lane,
G. J. Long, H. G. Long, A. M. Pear­son,

Lincoln President Says
Dynamite Threat Bluff
Harrogate, Tenn.—(IP)—A stick
of dynamite, its fuse partly burned,
found in the administration building
of Lincoln Memorial University here,
was termed a "bluff" by acting pres­ident
J. H. S. Morrison.
A strike of students has been in
progress here for almost three weeks.
50 Educators Will
Study in Germany
New York—(IP)—A party of fif­ty
educators will leave New York
June 12 for a tour of Germany du­ring
which they will study new trends
in German education.
They will be under the guidance
of the Central institute of Berlin.
The inspection of schools will begin
June 22, and last for six weeks.
Detroit—(IP)—Half of the con­victs
in Jackson penitentiary would
be unable to make a living if they
were freed, without turning to un­lawful
pursuits of the lowest kind
of manual labor, a survey has re­vealed.
Forty-four hundred and fifty men
doing time in this largest of Michi­gan
jails—and of these only a hun­dred,
approximately 2 per cent, are
college graduates.
Six hundred had a high school edu­cation,
while 3,200 never got higher
than the eighth grade if they got
that far. The other 550 are illiter­ates.
They never attended school,
and they cannot read nor write.
Twenty-one hundred of the 4,450
inmates are classed as day laborers
in civil life; nearly 300 others are
ranked as farm workers and 275 as
motor car drivers, this glroup ap­proximating
60 per cent of the total.
On the other hand, mechanics, like
tinsmiths, blacksmiths, toolmakers,
carpenters, stone masons, plumbers,
molders, electricians, shoemakers and
bakers number only 225.
The artisan makes and saves more
money than does the man able to do
little more than dig ditches, and
therefore his contentment is more
and his temptation less.
For some reason—it is suggested
it may be improvidence or inability
financially to keep up an appearance
—men of the white-collar class com­prise
a larger proportion of the con­victs
than the skilled tradesmen, who
outnumber them outside prison walls.
Clerks and salesmen serving sen­tences
number 280. Medical and
dental practice, nursing and banking
are sparcely represented and there
are very few pharmacists, drafts­men
and jewelers.
Marriage, with its domestic ties
and the consequent-pride in one's
family and home, appears to be a de­terrent
to crime. The survey shows,
at least, that 2,400 of the convicts
never have been wedded. Of the
others, 1,500 have wives, 350 are
separated or divorced, and 200 are
widowers.
The older a man the less probable
it is that he will go wrong. This
is another conclusion, for almost half
the inmates are between 20 and 30
years of age. There are in prison
men who are three score years or
more, but virtually all have attained
that age since they were sentenced.
The prospect <.! *»e becoming a
criminal at 60 is remote.
Holdups have put more men be­hind
the bars here than any other
crime. Jackson has 700 bandits.
Burglaries have sent nearly 400 men
to the penitentiary, and forgeries
215. The prison has 285 killers, of
whom 150 were convicted of man­slaughter,
and 135 of murder.
Elyria, O.—(IP)—It took a jury
of five women and seven men three
quarters of an hour to decide that
Mrs. Myrta Bradley, 22, teacher at
Russia township District School No.
7, was not guilty of assault and bat­tery
when she paddled Mary Mar­garet
Gerhartinger, 6, first grade pu­pil,
on Feb. 25.
Mrs. Bradley had admitted the
whipping and that she used a heavy
wooden paddle in administering it,
so the jury's verdict was interpret­ed
as meaning that the members of
the panel did not believe the whip­ping
was unjusified or brutal, as
claimed by the prosecution.
Prosecutor Don. W. Myers declar­ed
it was time "to tell this teacher
that she cannot use clubs on little
children."
"We have the utmost regard for
our schools," he said, "and we think
highly of our teachers, but we can­not
sanction coalitions against de­fenseless
youngsters."
State Representative Charles R.
Summers, council for Mrs. Bradley,
told the pury that the paddling was
justifiable and not brutal.
"If it were not for the animosity
of the child's mother for this teach­er,"
he said, "this case would never
be in court.
"I declare to you that if Mary Mar­garet
ever screamed with pain after
she arrived home from school that
day, it was because her mother was
preparing her little body for the ex­amination
she was going to have
made."
The trial of the teacher occupied
three days in the common pleas court
of Judge W. B. Thompson and at­tracted
capacity crowds to every ses­sion.

Students who joined in the outbreak
described it as spontaneous, and said
otherwise it would not have been con­fined
to the medical and veterinary
schools of the University of Madrid,
but would have appeared all over the
country.
The closing of the university was
ordered by the board of governors,
but Premier Damasco Berenguer met
with his cabinet last night to discuss
what measures should be adopted to
insure tranquility in the country.
Windows of university buildings
were smashed during the rioting, and
tiles torn from the roofs and hurled
at the police below. A picture of
King Alfonso XIII was thrown over a
window and trampled, amid cries of
"death to the king."
Police fired on the students for 15
minutes before driving them back into
their building. Guillermo Crespo a
laborer, who become involved in the
fighting, was killed.

Einstein Explains His
Theory To Scientists
Berlin — ( I P )— Scientists now are
supposed to understand the Einstein
Theory.
At a meeting of the Prussian Acad*
emy of Sciences, Dr. Albert Einstein
explained his latest work on the uni­form
field theory, aiming at estab­lishing
uniformity in the fields of
electricity and gravity; that is to
say, in the surroundings of electri­cal
or heavy bodies in which the ef­fects
of these bodies become no­ticeable.
A milestone of Telephone progress
This marker is used to show the position of
a new type of underground cable line. It is
also a monument to the Bell System policy
of constantly improving established methods
and developing new ones.
For years underground telephone cables
have been laid in hollow duct lines especially
constructed for the purpose. By this newly
developed supplementary method they can
be buried directly in the ground without con­duit—
and, under many conditions, at a sav­ing
of time and money.
To do this it was necessary to develop
a new type of cable, many kinds of special
equipment including labor-saving installation
machinery, and to work out an entirely new
installation procedure.
Progress means change. The Bell System
holds no procedure so sacred that it is not
open to improvement.

CLOSING SESSION OF EPISCOPAL
CONFERENCE BE HELD THURSDAY
A two-day rural conference con
ducted by the Diocese of Alabama at
the local Episcopal Church closed late
Thursday after hearing addresses by
prominent educators, agricultural
leaders, and church workers. Speak­ers
during the second day were Dr.
Bradford Knapp, Professor L. N. Dun­can,
Dean M. J. Funchess, Dean F.
C. Biggin, and Prof. J. D. Pope. All
sessions were attended by Bishop W.
G. McDowell, of the Alabama Diocese,
who declared himself as being anxious
to bring the work of the church in
closer touch with the rural people of
the State. Closer coordination be­tween
the church and agriculture was
the simple theme of the conference.
Speaking at the Thursday session
Dr. Bradford Knapp said that the co­operative
movement which has swept
every agricultural section of the Unit­ed
States during the last decade is a
practical application of the Golden
Rule. As much, he declared that it is
a religious as well as economic move-movement
and that churches—rural
and urban—should consider it as such.
He urged all religious leaders to ac­quaint
themselves with the movement.
-Dr. Knapp said that a modern farm

cooperative is an organization of men
rather than money; that each member
shares on a basis of his contribution
rather than money value of earnings;
that money shares only by per cent
earned and that the organization is
for those who make farming their
business.
Early Thursday afternoon the visit­ing
ministers visited the live-stock
barns and poultry plant under the di­rection
of Professors J. C. Grimes and
G. A. Trollope.
The Wednesday night session was
featured by an illustrated lecture de-livreed
by the Reverand E. van W. Ed-wards,
of Atmore, on the rural work
of the Alabama Diocese. His illus­trations
and his message revealed a
crying need for more work by the
church in rural Alabama. He insist­ed
also that the negro race is being
neglected. He explained that the
church is greatly handicapped because
of inadequate funds. Reverend Ed­wards
told of the beginning of his
work with remnants of Indian tribes
in the Atmore section.
Give Farewell Banquet
Tau Beta Pi Seniors
Thomas Hotel Is Scene of Affair
Given Monday Night
On Monday evening Tau Beta Pi
held a farewell banquet, in honor of
the senior members of the society
'-(graduating this year, in the Thomas
Hotel.
The principal speaker of the occa­sion
was Professor Baughman, who
delivered an address on Tau Beta Pi,
its founding, and the establishment
of the Alabama Alpha chapter at Au­burn.
Brief talks were also given by
the other faculty members of honor
group.
O. W. Bynum, retiring president of
the organization, gave a farewell talk,
and R. F. Ham, incoming president,
delivered a speech outlining the nlans
and aims of Tau Beta Pi for the
coming year. The graduating mem­bers
delivered short talks in the course
of the evening.
Guests of the society were Profes­sors
Walter Kinkaid and Neil Suf-fich,
who favored the banqueteers with
several musical selections.
A change in the uniform allowance
for R. O. T. C. students has been made
and will soon be put into effect. Or­ders
from the military department
state that hereafter basic students
will receive allowances of $10 per
year instead of $7.50 as at the present
time. Students in advanced courses
will receive $20 per year instead of
$36 for two years as they are now
receiving.
The increase in allowance will de­crease
the total amount that each
student has to pay for uniform at the
present time. The details of putting
the new rates into effect have not
been worked out, but the completion
of them will be announced shortly.
Lewis Believes In
New Theory Of Time
New York—(IP)—Dr. Gilbert N.
Lewis, of the University of Califor­nia,
speaking here, declared he be­lieves
that a new theory of time may
be in the process of discovery—a
theory in which Time can go either
backward or forwards, contemplat­ing
that at certain intervals of great
size, all things are exactly as they
were once before.
The new theory would hold that

events.

of Alabama he is in command of the
military forces of the State and quali­fied
for membership in Scabbard and
Blade.
After the initiation the party went
to the banks of a rippling stream sev­eral
miles from Auburn where break­fast
was served in true army style.
It consisted of eggs, bacon, and black
coffee with "canned cow." Governor
Graves used a mess kit just as he had
used many times as a soldier in the
service of Uncle Sam. The party re­turned
to Auburn at 6:30 Monday
morning. At eight o'clock Dr. Knapp
was at work in his office and Gover­nor
and Mrs. Graves were speeding
toward Montgomery.
Governor Graves began his military
career during the Spanish-American
War. He advanced rapidly from the
rank of private, receiving one com­mission
after another. Later he serv­ed
as adjutant general of Alabama.
When trouble began on the Mexican
border he was among the first to en­list.
Having retired from military
affairs he went into the army again
as a private. When he returned from
the Mexican border he was a colonel
in charge of a regiment.
From the Mexican border he went
to the World War and before the Ar­mistice
was signed he had risen to
the rank of brigadier-general.
M. S. Phillips, of Carrollton, was
awarded the cup given by the class
in types and breeds for the best fresh­man
judge of live stock. The presen­tation
was made at the meeting of the
Ag Club held Wednesday night. Phil­lips
attained 828 points from a pos­sible
900.
J. M. Owens scored second highest
with a total of 803 point's, arid he was
awarded the cup for second place. J.
W. Griffin rated highest in judging
dairy cattle, and received the "Dean's
Cup." R. L. Griffin was high man
in swine judging; he was also given
a cup.
The presentations were made by
Professor J. C. Grimes, head of the
animal husbandry department; he
gave a short history of the annual
freshman contest previous to making
the awards.

that refreshes
Comes a time (as they say) every day when
it's good to drop things—relax—and, calm,
collected, cool, seek the hidden meaning
of life.
Sign off for just a minute, now and then, and
refresh yourself with an ice-cold Coca-Cola.
Beady for you—anytime—around the coi>
ner from anywhere. Nine million times a
day the Thinkers and Doew of the nation
find the pause that refreshes is what keeps
the world wagging.
