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." Dr. Petrie Lauded For Memorial Day Address Ex-Governor W. D.

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 (Continued on page 6) Starting June 1, Cost Will Be 1 Cent Less It has been decided by the city council that a new one cent tax, reducing the cost of gasoline one cent per gallon, will take the place of a two cent tax that has been placed on gasoline for some time.

"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 master of speech, as he is one of 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 from Washington; and 1st Lieutenant C. E. Pease, Field Artillery, who is assigned to duty with the National Guard of the State of Maine, his native state. 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, Mississippi; Edith Holman, of Dothan; Sara Warwick, of Talladega; Anne Butt, of Montgomery; and "T." Shaef-fer, of Eufaula. 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 Musical Organization 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: President, Gabie Drey, of Mobile; vice-president, A. W. Headley, of of Montgomery; and business manager, J. R. Quinlivan, Jr., of Mobile. Eating Survey Shows Enormous Appetites Of Auburn Students 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. Singing Groups Will Give Vesper Choral One Hundred Voice Chorus to Be Presented on Sunday, May 20 Professor John W.

BUSINESS STAFF Hugh W. Overton Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. 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. congratulates Crawford for receiving the Porter Loving Cup which is given annually to the most outstanding athlete. The recipient of this honor has devoted much time to athletics here. 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. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp Kk k PPil |pi& •^k tW. i ^i" J JL?*'M Si • i;i p; is 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 EDITOR'S NOTE:—For a whole year the co-eds have said they could write better "Footprints"; read their following fling. * * * * * * * *' We heartily suggest more light in the picture show and spectacles for Blanky to prevent a similar happening of a few weeks back when he tried to occupy the same seat with a lady. * * * * * * * * The next morning after the Chi O picnic, the following was heard: McCree: "Good morning, Gene. How are you?" Gene: "I'm all right. Why?" * * * * * * * * It was reported that Betty was bitten by a dog the other day. A few minutes after she was seen writing away as for dear life. Her room-mate asked, "Why, Betty, What are you doing? Making out your will?" "No," retorted Betty. "I'm making out a list of that Plainsman Staff I want to bite when I go mad." * * * * * * * * We are seriously thinking that it would pay Jabo and some of his friends to purchase a car before attempting the next "Co-ed" picnic. Do you agree, Adrian? * * * * * * * * Now, I wonder why Merriwether looked so guilty the other afternoon when congratulations were yelled at him. * • * * * * * * * When it comes to saying good-night to the girls Preacher Smith is the berries. He should be more careful and not get under open windows, though. * * * * * * * * It seems that Daugette is making that last fling before it is too late. Better make it a good one. * * * * * * * * Who says Ben Newton is not a shiek? He certainly broke up Red Harkins' play house with Gladys and that Chevrolet coupe in Panama City. * * * * * * * * We wonder why Joe McKnight and Red Kicker were chasing that black cat around down on West side last Wednesday night. They must have lost their rabbit foot over at Wright's mill the night before. * * * * * * * * If Lefty Primm doesn't pitch a good game, you know he didn't eat his liver the night before. BEFORE There are meters of accent, And meter of tone, But the best of all meters Is to meet her alone.

Katherine Porter announces that she is buying a new frock this week and wishes to appoint certain criticizing members of the Plainsman staff as a committee to select it. Here's an opportunity for those would-be world reformers. * * * * * * * * Speaking of Preacher, we know now why his hair is so thin. He had better take along extra keys with him the next time for he wore his hair out combing it the morning that Aubrey Lewis locked him in the hotel room. Seems as if that was the only way Aubrey could beat Preacher to his girl. * * * * * * * * Regardless of what has been said above the Co-eds have the same sentiment as is found in the following rhyme: MEN They look important; They rock on their toes They lose all their buttons Off of their clothes; They throw away pipes, They find them again.

I like men They stride about, They reach in their pockets And pull things out; WITH OTHER COLLEGES *• 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 night proved unusually costly this year. A bill of $887.67 for damages wrought by the frosh to property in Lexington was 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 billed. My, my. * * * * PLAY BALL A young man of 19-years became disappointed at not being able to make the Redwood Center, California baseball team, but heard San Quentin prison boasted of a fine nine. Accordingly he committed a robbery stating his reason being to make the prison team. We wonder when the prisons will start outbidding the colleges for athletes. * * * * TRADITION Now over at the University of Kentucky, tradition prevents the freshmen from attending the Junior.Proms and the Senior dances. However, we wouldn't call it tradition. asylums and our institutions for the feeble minded. Why throw your life away? Three things the world wants: men who are mentally awake, physically clean, and morally straight. The other kind are a burden to themselves and'to the world as well. ENDURANCE TEST FOR TRACTOR In the carrying out of a farm experiment at Oregon State College, Corvallif?, Oregon, tractors have entered the field of endurance contests. A light caterpillar tractor is now being run continuously on actual work at one of the school's farms, and is reported as still going strong, well past the 300 hour mark. This time betters that of the former record held in Australia more than 100 hours. Now we won't be happy until they build a toll bridge across the Atlantic, bring all the Scotchmen on this side and throw up a few nickels on the other, so we can have a real swimming race. * * * * STUDENTS SELECT CONVOCATION PROGRAM Students at the University of North Carolina have an opportunity to select 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 gives the students an opportunity to get what they want, in matters of serious entertainment. * * * * 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. * * * * EARS AND WIVES Husbands in the Solomon islands group wear quills in their ears to mark the number of wives they possess.

THOUGHTS IN SILHOUETTE c3€err HDiogenese ^eufelsdrockh. EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial oolicy. * * * * 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. May the space alloted to the long trite ravings of the now defunct Diogenes be filled in a manner more worthy of you, dear reader. * * * * * 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. Taken From VOICES OF WOMEN^ Heard ye my love? My love ye must have heard, For his voice when he will Tinkles like cry of a bird; Heard ye my love? —We sang on a Grecian hill. Behold your love, And how shall I forget him, His smile, his hair, his song? Alas, no maid shall get him For all her love, Where he sleeps a million strong. —Frank Prewett. * M f l 1 SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE AUDREY FULLER La VERNE WATTS * Phone 9115 Smith Hall SOCIETY AND FEA TU RES This Department Jpen From 11 A.

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. Miss Marion Wilkerson Honor Guest At Party Miss Marion Wilkerson, the guest of Mrs. J. T. Williamson, and Mrs. E. C. Easter, the guest of Mrs. H. B.

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.

Three base 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. 100-yard—First Hamm (T) 10.1; hits: Hodges, Crawford, Newton, Burt, Lloyd, Smith.

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 WINS FROM GEORGIA IN CLOSE GAME ON SATURDAY Patronize our Advertisers. 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. Box Score: Auburn— ab. r. h. po.

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." Auburn Scouts Receive Camp Application Cards All Members Local Troop Are Expected to Be Present Chairman A. Meadows, of the Boy Scout camping committee, announces he has received enough camp application cards for registration at Camp Spring Villa for all Auburn Boy Scouts. Camp opens June 7th and closes July 5th. Auburn and Opelika scouts are expected to attend the first two periods of. camp, each of which last's a week. This year Camp Spring Villa will lay particular stress on the teaching of Scoutcraft subjects. Men from the A. P. I. staff have been selected by Prof. Nichols with the Scout Executive to teach merit badge subjects. Each day classes in second class and first class requirements will be taught. Courts of honor will be held each Friday evening in connection with the camp fire program. Auburn Troop 7, under Scoutmaster Geo. L. Pick, won third place in the Council Jamboree last Friday. The troop is expecting to attend camp 100 percent. Dr. Bradford Knapp, chairman Auburn district of the Central Alabama area council urges all local scout's to register immediately. Dense Jungles In British Guiana Yield New World Oxford Scientists Find Thickets Covered With Matted Vines If life were too simple we'-d all be bored with it. 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. Quality Hardware at Right Prices WRIGHT HARDWARE CO.

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.

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.

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. Promotion In Reserves Is Given Former Student G. D.

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.

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.

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 Changes Made In Uniform Allowance 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 present performances may be influenced -by future as well as by past events.

Plans for sending fifteen members of the Auburn Lion's Club to the Foley convention of the Thirty-fourth district of Lions International were discussed at the meeting Tuesday. Five of the Auburn delegates will serve on the program. The principal objective of the Foley convention is the creating of state-wide interest in the plans for a state student loan fund being worked up by Charles W. Edwards and a state committee from other colleges. The School of Architecture and Allied Arts of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn offers for the next college year commencing in September a new four year degree course in Landscape Architecture.

"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.

Dr. Petrie is a master of speech, as he is one of America's greatest historians."— Birmingham News.

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.

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.

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. Singing Groups Will Give Vesper Choral One Hundred Voice Chorus to Be Presented on Sunday, May 20 Professor John W.

BUSINESS STAFF Hugh W. Overton Advertising Mgr. Charles Davis Circulation Mgr. 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. congratulates Crawford for receiving the Porter Loving Cup which is given annually to the most outstanding athlete. The recipient of this honor has devoted much time to athletics here. 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.

Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp Kk k PPil |pi& •^k tW. i ^i" J JL?*'M Si • i;i p; is 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 EDITOR'S NOTE:—For a whole year the co-eds have said they could write better "Footprints"; read their following fling. * * * * * * * *' We heartily suggest more light in the picture show and spectacles for Blanky to prevent a similar happening of a few weeks back when he tried to occupy the same seat with a lady. * * * * * * * * The next morning after the Chi O picnic, the following was heard: McCree: "Good morning, Gene.

Do you agree, Adrian? * * * * * * * * Now, I wonder why Merriwether looked so guilty the other afternoon when congratulations were yelled at him. * • * * * * * * * When it comes to saying good-night to the girls Preacher Smith is the berries.

Here's an opportunity for those would-be world reformers. * * * * * * * * Speaking of Preacher, we know now why his hair is so thin. He had better take along extra keys with him the next time for he wore his hair out combing it the morning that Aubrey Lewis locked him in the hotel room.

I like men They stride about, They reach in their pockets And pull things out; WITH OTHER COLLEGES *• 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 night proved unusually costly this year. A bill of $887.67 for damages wrought by the frosh to property in Lexington was 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 billed. My, my. * * * * PLAY BALL A young man of 19-years became disappointed at not being able to make the Redwood Center, California baseball team, but heard San Quentin prison boasted of a fine nine. Accordingly he committed a robbery stating his reason being to make the prison team. We wonder when the prisons will start outbidding the colleges for athletes. * * * * TRADITION Now over at the University of Kentucky, tradition prevents the freshmen from attending the Junior.Proms and the Senior dances. However, we wouldn't call it tradition. asylums and our institutions for the feeble minded. Why throw your life away?

ENDURANCE TEST FOR TRACTOR In the carrying out of a farm experiment at Oregon State College, Corvallif?, Oregon, tractors have entered the field of endurance contests. A light caterpillar tractor is now being run continuously on actual work at one of the school's farms, and is reported as still going strong, well past the 300 hour mark. This time betters that of the former record held in Australia more than 100 hours. Now we won't be happy until they build a toll bridge across the Atlantic, bring all the Scotchmen on this side and throw up a few nickels on the other, so we can have a real swimming race. * * * * STUDENTS SELECT CONVOCATION PROGRAM Students at the University of North Carolina have an opportunity to select 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 gives the students an opportunity to get what they want, in matters of serious entertainment. * * * * 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."

It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial oolicy. * * * * 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.

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. Taken From VOICES OF WOMEN^ Heard ye my love?

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. Miss Marion Wilkerson Honor Guest At Party Miss Marion Wilkerson, the guest of Mrs. J. T. Williamson, and Mrs. E. C. Easter, the guest of Mrs. H. B.

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.

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.

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.

Three base 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. 100-yard—First Hamm (T) 10.1; hits: Hodges, Crawford, Newton, Burt, Lloyd, Smith.

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. Score by innings: Oglethorpe _- 210 000 400 22—11 Mercer 001 000 000 21—10 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 Auburn record of the season when Tie hurlgd the discus for a distance of 137 feet, 1 inch.

AUBURN WINS FROM GEORGIA IN CLOSE GAME ON SATURDAY Patronize our Advertisers. 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. Box Score: Auburn— ab. r. h. po.

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." Auburn Scouts Receive Camp Application Cards All Members Local Troop Are Expected to Be Present Chairman A. Meadows, of the Boy Scout camping committee, announces he has received enough camp application cards for registration at Camp Spring Villa for all Auburn Boy Scouts. Camp opens June 7th and closes July 5th. Auburn and Opelika scouts are expected to attend the first two periods of. camp, each of which last's a week. This year Camp Spring Villa will lay particular stress on the teaching of Scoutcraft subjects. Men from the A. P. I. staff have been selected by Prof. Nichols with the Scout Executive to teach merit badge subjects. Each day classes in second class and first class requirements will be taught. Courts of honor will be held each Friday evening in connection with the camp fire program. Auburn Troop 7, under Scoutmaster Geo. L. Pick, won third place in the Council Jamboree last Friday. The troop is expecting to attend camp 100 percent. Dr. Bradford Knapp, chairman Auburn district of the Central Alabama area council urges all local scout's to register immediately. Dense Jungles In British Guiana Yield New World Oxford Scientists Find Thickets Covered With Matted Vines If life were too simple we'-d all be bored with it. 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. Quality Hardware at Right Prices WRIGHT HARDWARE CO.

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. Promotion In Reserves Is Given Former Student G. D.

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.

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.

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 Changes Made In Uniform Allowance 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.

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 present performances may be influenced -by future as well as by past events.
