DRAMATIC MEET IS
PROCLAIMED SUCCESS
Talent Displayed Indicates Re­vival
of Interest in Drama
Murphy High School of Mobile was
awarded the cup offered by the Au­burn
Players and the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute for the best one-act
play presented at the State High
School Dramatic Tournament which
was held here Saturday.
Four put of sixteen high schools
represented went to the finals, which
were conducted Saturday evening;
they were: Murphy; Sidney Lanier
High School of Montgomery; Wet-tumpka
State Secondary Agricultural
School of Wetumpka; and Albert-ville
State Secondary Agricultural
School of Albertville. The prelimi­naries
were held in Langdon Hall
and the "Y Hut" in the morning and
afternoon; the finals took place in
Langdon Hall.
"The Sweetmeat Game," by Ruth
Comfort Mitchell, was the winning
play; it was by far the best produc­tion,
and well deserved to win the
tournament. The plot dealt with a
Chinese family in San Francisco's
"Chinatown" and the problems of
the family concerning a blind, half­wit
son who abhorred his stepmother;
the time of the play was the Chinese
New Eve. The entire cast performed
exceptionally good, each member per­forming
like a professional actor in­stead
of a high school student. The
cast was composed of the following:
Hans Richards as a Chinese mer­chant,
who acted his part extremely
well; Olaf Knudsen, who very ably
portrayed the art of the merchant's
blind, half-wit son; Evelyn Robinton,
who performed almost perfectly in
the role of the step mother; and Jim
Spafford, who very successfully took
the part of a white reveler. The play
was well directed by Mrs. Louise K.
Hamil, assisted by Miss Alice Chap-
(Continued on page 6)
The weekly luncheon of the Lions
Club was held Tuesday at noon at
the Thomas Hotel. Lieutenant
Townsley, the Lion chairman, open­ed
the meeting by introducing the
visitors. The following visitors were
present: Professor Daughrity, J. A.
Vines, V. L. Vines, W. F. Tidwell,
C. R. LeCroy, and B. D. Reynolds,
PlaSnsman reporter. The club de­cided
that all members who took part
in the golf tournament be fined for
not winning and that the other mem­bers
should also be fined who did not
take a part in the tournament. Pro­fessor
Guyton, the Tail-twister of the
order, proceeded to collect the dimes
from the members. Lion Tgmblin
was appointed to attend the Lions
Club Convention, to be held in Bes­semer,
Alabama, on May 8th and

for the treasurer Lion Chairman
Townsley conducted a raffle of a tie,

The Annual Interfraternity Coun­cil
Banquet was held in the Hotel

April 15. The attendance was un­usually
large, seventy-six members
being present.
The Auburn Interfraternity Coun­cil
has taken many forward strides
in the past year, and the banquet
Monday night was marked by the at­tendance
of the representatives of the
fraternities recently admitted to the
council. At present there are a total
of nineteen fraternities in the Coun­cil.
Tom Walthall, the president of the
Council for the last semester, acted
as toastmaster.
The two main speakers for the oc­casion
were Dr. Knapp and Prof.
Robinson. Prof. Robinson outlined
the development of the fraternities
on the Auburn campus since they
were established. At present he is
the chairman of the faculty commit­tee
on fraternities. During the time
he has been in Auburn he has been
a faithful worker in helping the fra­ternities
in their work on the campus.
Dr. Knapp discussed the work he
has been trying to carry on during
the year in regard to fraternities and
their problems. Besides changing the
location of Fraternity Row, he has
done much to get new buildings for
those fraternities who have been try­ing
to build and get on the new fra­ternity
as soon as possible. Besides

Cows Are Object of
Poetic Imagination
From the looks of things, it
seems that some of Auburn's Ag
Professors should* be transferred
to the Academic Department of
the school. Whichever ones of
them named the cows they keep
over there certainly would shine
in the English department, espe
cially in poetry. Poetic imagina­tion?
They've got it!
The department has four cows
whose cognomens, or maybe
they're just name to travel in­cognito
under, are quite a de­parture
from the usual "Betsy,"
"Bossy", etc. Their names are:
"Fairy Boy's Fairy Queen," "Au­burn's
Sultan's Jean", "Auburn's
Anna's Adelle", and "Sally's
Noble Adelle".
If these cows are as charming
as would befit their names,,may
the fates be kind to the poor he-cow
who happens to wander over
to their domicile.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
HAS BEEN ARRANGED
Knapp, Noble, and Petrie are
Among Speakers
With a series of three elaborate
services, Auburn's new $80,000 Bap­tist
church was fittingly dedicated
over the week end. Activities open­ed
Saturday night with an organ re­cital
after which there was a public
reception and inspection of the new
church. On Sunday morning the edi-catory
sermon was preached by Dr.
Spright Dowell, former Auburn presi­dent
and now head of Mercer Uni­versity.
Ceremonies were brought to
a close Sunday evening with a gen­eral
fellowship service at which all
Auburn ministers brought greetings
from other denominations and Presi­dent
Knapp and a student- represen­tative,
T. H. LeCroy, made fitting
talks representing the college and
Baptist students.
Taking his text from the 4th Chap­ter
of Joshua, Dr. Dowell compared
the new Auburn church to the me­morial
of twelve stones set up by
the children of Israel after they had
passed over Jordan into the Promised
Land. In the same way that the
twelve stones signified an epochal
event in the history of the Israelites,
so does the new Baptist structure sig­nify
an important step forward for
the local church. <
\ l n brief, Or. Dowell said that the
new church was a concrete evidence
of the most beautiful religious inter­pretations;
also, that it was a strik-

COLONEL FINNELL
ADDRESSES CIVILS
Discusses Problems Of Present Day
Engineer
Col. C. W. Finnell, chairman and
chief engineer of the State Highway
Commission, spoke to the student
branch of the American Society of
Civil Engineers in the auditorium of
Broun Hall, Monday evening, on the
subject, "Suggestions for Guidance
of Graduating Engineers."
Col. Finnell described some inters
esting experiences of his early days
as a railroad engineer and discussed
relative salaries of engineers of the
present time. He told .about engi­neering
problems connected with the
ecent floods of the southern part of
the State in so far as repairing and
rebuilding bridges and roads were
concerned.
In addition Col. Finnell gave some
very pointed advice as to how recent
graduated engineers should select
their work.
Mr. George Moulton, assistant state
highway engineer, also spoke along
the same lines as Col. Finnell.
Col. Finnell stated that he was
going to Washington soon to seek
additional Federal aid for the repair­ing
and rebuilding of the highways
and bridges suffering in the recent
floods of Alabama.
Every Auburn alumnus will be
given the opportunity, Thursday
evening, 7:45 to 8:45, to hear the
first alumni radio program ever
broadcast from Auburn. It is believed
that thousands of Auburn men over
the country will tune in to hear this
broadcast WAPI, during which time
prominent alumni and college offi­cials
will speak from Auburn. There
will be appropriate college music fur­nished
by Auburn students. Dr.
Knapp, Auburn's president, and Dr.
George Petrie, one of the senior pro­fessors
and beloved personalities at
Auburn, together with Gen. R. E.
Noble, president of the Alumni As­sociation,
and others will speak.
Following is the outline of the pro­gram
and in addition there will be
music by a chorus of Auburn stu­dents,
quartet taumbers, and instru­mental
selections,:
Col. T. D. Samford, '88, will speak
on "Early Days of Alumni Work at

military fraternity, was held last
Saturday, April 13, for the eighteen
juniors recently elected to this fra­ternity.
Anyone appearing on the Auburn
streets last Saturday could readily see
that something unusual was taking
place. Painted warriors patrolled the
streets and kept law and order by
acting as traffic cops, guardsmen and
police. Distinguished soldiers of long
fought battles displayed their medals
of bravery on their blouses above
trousers of flaming colored pajamas.
Exoert gunner's badges, marksman­ship
decorations, first and second
class chicken prizes, crosses, bath robe
tassels, flaming red cheeks, and other
decorations combined to make them
the crack squad on the drill field
during the drill period. Auburn was
under military control.
The men initiated were: Engineers:
J. K. Smith, Eutaw; V. L. Taylor,
Mobile; W. W. Bryant, Birmingham;

Lat's Unify The
Auburn Spirit
The constitution, by-laws, and com­mittee
regulations of the Associated
Undergraduate students of A. P. I.
' will be voted on at a convocation of
the entire student body Friday at
eleven A. M. in Langdon Hall.
Every student at Auburn should
come out and cast his vote. The matter
under consideration is one that affects
every registered student of this insti-tion,
and is of utmost importance to
the students. The future policy of the
student body as a unit is under con­sideration.
It is a matter vital to the
growth of the school.
Let's get out the vote Friday,
whether it be favorable or unfavor­able.,
A decided stand on this constitu­tion
should be taken by every student.
A lackadaisical attitude toward the
organization now will mean a similar
attitude toward its functioning if it
is adopted.
Come out and vote, students; it is
your constitution that is under dis­cussion;
it is you who are to be sub­jected
to its regulations. Let's have
the student body at Langdon Hall
Friday at eleven!
The English Department
Brings Another Laurel
By making the high school dramatic
tournament a success the English Depart­ment
has brought credit not only to itself,
but also to the school. That the tourna­ment
was decidedly a success is due to ex­cellent
management, and we wish to com­pliment
the English Department for the
manner in which the affair was handled.
The tournament has benefitted, or will
in the future benefit, Auburn in many
ways. That these benefits have been ac­crued
to Auburn is due solely to the ef­forts
of the English Department in volun­teering
to assume the responsibility of
holding and managing the tournament.
The tournament was. formerly sponsored
by the state association of teachers, but
the" arrangement proved unsatisfactory,
. and the English Department, no doubt real­izing
the potential value of doing so, vol­unteered
to carry on the work. The Dep­artment
has made a very suspicious beginn­ing
and deserves credit for bringing the
tournament here and for handling it as it
has been handled.
By bringing students from high schools
of the state to Auburn to take part in dra­matic
competition the standing of Auburn
in dramatics will be immeasurably raised.
The news of these tournaments will go out
oyer the state, and over other states, and
Auburn will assuredly benefit thereby. :
Mgre practically,; Auburn will receive a
class of-advertising not capable of being ob-:.
tained otherwise .than - by bringing . pro­spective
students to Auburn. The interest
aroused by seeing the school more or less
intimately is. greater than any which may
be aroused otherwise. This interest will
give potential students an added incentive
to come to Auburn.
Perhaps the greatest benefit which will
accrue to Auburn from the tournament is
that the state at large, and neighboring
states also, will realize that, although Au­burn
is a technological school, cultural edu­cation
is not neglected, and that students
desiring cultural education may come con­fidently
to Auburn to get it. This is not
tQ be disregarded and it increases in im­portance,
as the number of students en­rolled
in such courses assume greater num­bers

These are the things the English Depart­ment
is doing for Auburn, and it deserves
the thanks of the entire school for its ef­forts.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
A Fine President And
An United Student Body
Believing that it expresses the welling
and appreciative sentiment of the entire
student body to a man, the Plainsman takes
this occasion to very heartily, and in a
supportive spirit, commend the present
work of Dr. Knapp and his associates in the
vastly important work of erecting new
buildings on the campus. Although our
present recognition of the importance and
future benefits of such action may be far
short of the true worth of the matter, we
cannot but see that this is to mean more
for Auburn than former dreams could per­ceive.
To gaze upon the elaborate plans of this
soon-to-be expansion, and to realize with-opt
a shadow of doubt the reality of
the program, is to be come thrilled with
the realization that Auburn has already
begun her march "over the top". But a
few more months and we can hardly recog­nize
the place; and truly not as it stands
cramped in struggling service to Alabama's
commonwealth now.
A new chemistry building that will meet
every" need we now experience,. or are
likely to experience within many years
ahead—a new auditorium that will com­fortably
house double the present enroll­ment
here—a new YMCA and recreational
plant affording wholesome and uplifting
opportunities for every individual student
—r-n new dairy plant that will be a distinct
credit to the very valuable work in the
Agronomy field—these and other proposed
structures very soon to be installed here,
are coming realities sufficient to stir the
hearts and pride of every Auburn man,
student or alumni.
The debt we owe Dr. Knapp and his co­workers
in this development program is one
of incalculable immensity. We can never
repay them; but it is ours to support the
work insofar as we may, and to meet the
challenge for a Greater Auburn with dili­gent
service in the many small ways which
we, as student at preset, may.
The very least the present student body
can do in this great program for the ad­vancement
of Auburn is to step forward
appreciatively, put a firm shoulder to the
wheel, and aid in placing the college where
it has so long deesrved to stand—with the
very best, in equipment and facilities as in
personnel.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Owing to a situation that resulted from
the election of senior class officers and the
resignation of J. D. Neeley as Editor of
The Plainsman for next year I deem it
wise to explain why he tendered his re­signation.
It is unfair for any reader of the paper
to form an opinion that points to Neeley
as a fool or a madman without knowing
the facts in the case. The sudden resigna­tion
came as a shock but was not at all a
complete surprise to me.
The situation that has resulted from the
election does not demonstrate his lack of
appreciation toward his fellow classmates
nor does it indicate any lack of fore­thought.
He chose the only path and fol­lowed
it. :••.-•
Neeley will be a senior in Electrical En­gineering
next year. He is the type of boy
who takes things seriously—even too seri-~
ously at times I believe. Wijjh the grow­ing
importance of the Plainsman and the
intricate detail that constantly demands
the attention of an editor it would impose
a duty on him not too hard for him to bear
but one which would be detrimental to
his scholarship, a thing which he considers
first.
Mr. Bidez will have special work for him
next year which will consume two hours
daily. He, would have to sacrifice either
music or the. Plainsman.
Several have, asked .me why he did not
resign before the election. He did not re­sign
before the ballots were printed be­cause
he did not know about some of the
things which he found put the day of the.
election when it was too late to stop bal­loting..
•; .;;';• ;..;:...-,.
• Other -conditions intimated but which, he -
did not reveal made-it impossible for him
to run any risks at not graduating next
spring.
I trust that this will serve as a full ex­planation
of the situation and that the rea­sons
for the resignation herein are satis­factory
to the voters of the class involved.

It is worth something.
The finest enjoyment in the world and
the only real pleasure worth while is that
which leaves no sting, no regrets, no heart

has no real enjoyment in it and learns also
the keen enjoyment there is in things which
are clean and wholesome we shall be able
to save the world a great deal of misery.

As long as selfishness, greed and thirst
for power are dominant motives the
people find difficulty in government. When
real service, cooperation and accord take
their place and drive out these others we
shall approach better government. The
tendency is in that direction. I am wonder­ing
it would not be worth while to try
that in a student body. If it Could be done
the result would be a real education. The
chance to try it is before the student body.
Set up the machinery with which to put
system into student affairs, with which to
administer the finances of student activi­ties,
with which to deal with traditions
which are worth while, with which to keep
out the harmful and foster and protect
the helpful and constructive things of col­lege
life. Men live mainly by and through
their relationship to other human beings.
The adjustment of these relations is the
chief function of society. Why not find
out how well we may be able to do this
for ourselves in the relation of fellow stu­dents?

" L i t t l e Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Students, you are being preesnted a form
of student organization, subject to insti-tion
here in this, your college. Later you
will be asked to voice your opinion con­cerning
this all-important matter with a
vote. It behooves you to study the matter
thoroughly and carefully, and then cast
your vote to the better dictates of your
own conscience. Time will be allowed for
a thorough weighing of the matter, giving
you an opportunity to decide what you
think best; I wish to urge that you regard
this movement as one of extremely seri­ous
nature, recognizing fully what it can
mean to the student body here, and to
lend your earnest support if possible.
This association idea will meet objec­tion,
as does any matter that is worth
while. But remember that the highest fly­ing
kites require a strong wind. The de­tails
of this organization have been care­fully
planned and worked up; it is not a
matter of over-night origin, by any means.
The entire issue has been gone over by
reputable members of the student body,
all possible flaws have been culled out or
revised, so far as is possible. Minor defi­ciencies
may remain, but the principle of
the matter rests substantial—it is unmis­takably
for the best interest of the Au­burn
student body as a whole.
There are minor details with which you
may not readily agree. But this alone can­not
destroy the value of the basic prin­ciples;
nothing is entirely perfect. Still
there is the principle of the thing, which
should carry it through thick and thin.
Provisions are made for necessary amend­ments,
and if you can convince yourself
that the principle is sound and constructive,
then you owe it to yourself and to the fu­ture
students of this institution to put the
thing over.
Men, here is a chance for you to "prove
your mettle"—recognize the real value of
this matter, and go about selling the idea
to your fellow students. Convince yourself
that it is what we need here, and then lend
every possible effort in putting it over.
THE GEDUNK
I'm the Gedunk who slides along through
school by depending upon my fellow stu­dents
to do all the work. I never pretend
to take notes in classes or to do any origi­nal
outside work. My roommate always
takes .notes and I can get his. Also when-there
are papers to be written, I wait until
a friend has written his and I rewrite it
and hand it in as my own. Of course I
'realize that I am somewhat of a parasite
upon my friends and that I am getting very
little from my college courses, but it is
quite a job to do all the work myself and
I am too lazy to do it. ..
TO WOO-LANN MAI
My life once more is empty,
But dreams your absence brings;
My mind still follows after—
My thoughts to you still cling.
The world is full of music,
And birds so sweetly sing,
And yet I am so lonely,
Even though 'tis Spring.
If I could just forget you
My troubled mind would clear;
I'd find another sweetheart,
«- And keep her ever near.
But even if another
Should yield her passion true,
My soul would turn her out;
My heart would ache for you.

EVOLUTION OF A FRESHMAN-During
the past year many interesting experiments have been conducted by
the Ag students, and the results are inciting the envy of Burbank. The first ex­periment
grew eyes on a head of cabbage by crossing the said cabbage with a
potato! Then ears were produced on it by crossing with a Cornstalk. This
was in turn crossed with a squash and a neck evolved. By crossing the so far com­plex
results with a cocoanut, hair was added to the features. Now if they can
figure a means of getting motion injected into the thing, they will have produced
a synthetic edition of a college freshman.

A friend, today, has passed away
And left us a troubled mind.
We mour to lose our poetic muse,
Our Convict 969.
He has passed on, into a wide beyond,
From beautiful, to' critic verse,
His beautiful rhyme has had its time,
And now it's something worse.
He once spoke of girls, and light yellow curls,
And a moonlit night in May,
Of broken hear.ts, and Cupid's darts,
But now he's gone away.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
TOO MANY QUESTIONS
Three University of Missouri professors
were recently asked to resign as the result
of a questionnaire issued to students.
It is the custom in many colleges for
professors to secure statistical informa­tion
for textbooks from students through
the use of questionnaires. This was the
method of these professors.
• Questionnaires were issued to 100 stu­dents
asking questions on sex relations
that could not be answered except through
personal prejudices or beliefs. The ques­tions
were entirely out of order for im
mature students, and obviously the ans­wers
would be based on mere supposition.

AS IS USUAL
The 'Seniors of Furman University have
picked a neat and very appropriate time
for a strike. In what is probably the
largest and most serious strike within the
century of Furman's history as an educa­tional
center, approximately one hundred
members of the graduating class last Fri­day
afternoon flatly refused to meet the
financial obligations incurred by the erec­tion
of four large columns at the entrance
to the ' college of University Street. The
structure which has just been completed
was supposedly a gift of the senior class
as a memorial to their Alma Mater. Now
the college has to foot the bill.

WE ARE READY
Clemson gets the breaks it seems; at
least in one thing. For several weeks there
has been a unit of R. O. T. C. boys out
'on the drill field. Drilling of course.
Many wild guesses were made by the spec­tators
as the boy, in the cool of the even­ing,
were seemingly aimlessly drilling. Ac­cording
to The Tiger, student paper, this
platoon is going to West Point to give the
boys up there a little demonstration of
how it should be done. Not only is West
Point going to hear more of this drill, but
it seems that Clemson means to offer such
keen competition at camp this summer that
the other colleges will be rushed off their
feet.

FINE
Now here's an appeal to the spirit that
moves. In a recent article written for the
Cornell Daily Sun, Professor E. G. Fay
urged the installation of a loafer's library.
This he said would replace the regular
library or might be an additional space. No
signs of book shelves or quiet signs would
be present. The place would be equipped
with an open fireplace and easy chairs in
which one could easily fall asleep in. Not
bad.

FINE!
A new set of publication rules has been
adopted at North Carolina State College.
The editors will receive a salary for their
work, and members of the staff will be re­quired
to maintain a high scohlarship aver­age
to hold their positions. The provision
for the division of profits among all mem­bers
of the staff, according to the amount
of work that is done by each, is certain to
attract a better class of writers to the pub­lications.
We favor the provision for high
scholarship.

CAMPING FOR COLLEGE CREDIT
Camping and study is the combination
which is being offered in the geology
course which will be given by Dr. Roy J.
Holden as part of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute summer quarter. The trip will
cover 8,000 miles in twenty states, Canada
and Mexico.
The itinerary has been made with the
view of studying geology in the field and
to visit portions of America which afford
outstanding scenic beauties. The course,
which is to receive full college credit, will
consist of lectures and field study. The
lectures will be given in camp with talks
in the field whenever suitable geological
features are preesnted. It should be a
fine open door sport (College life) if there
is not too much hiking.

EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions ex­pressed

the editorial opinions of this paper. It is
a column of personal comment, and is not

* * * * *
MOST of the sidewalk sentiment on
the proposed constitution that I
have heard is favorable. However,
there is not enough of it. We have an op­portunity
to do something for Auburn that
will be a memorial to the year '28-'29 in
the future. It is inevitable that the stu­dent
body must be organized; now is the
time to do it.
The only sceptics are those who say the
present Junior class hasn't the strong men
necessary to put the organization on its
feet. I believe that the class of '30 can
turn out a group of leaders that can make
the proposed organization work from the
start. The ability is there; it will be up
to the electorate to put men of ability in
power. Petty politics should give way to
the desire to build up a strong central sys­tem
of student activity supervision. I see
no reason why the class of '30 can not or­ganize
the student body next year.
* :i= * * &
THE COLUMNIST is always glad to
receive contributions. Here is a
couple of paragraphs written by a
member of the class of '31:
Every time that I come in contact with
a man whom the world bestows the title of
Great Man, or a man who is great whether
recognized or not by his fellows, I can but
wonder just how he came to be so. Through
the ages men have asked, "Are leaders
born or made?" It seems to me that to
become a great man, one must be born as
such. Of course I do not mean that at
the age of ten Goethe could have written
Faust or that Alexander could have con­quered
a world at three, even though he »
was slightly precocious. In my opinion, to
become truly great, a man mu¥f be funda­mentally
constructed of such fibre, that
when acted upon by the external forces of
his life, he reacts in such a manner as to
mould into his character the essentials of
greatness. He reacts to every situation
into which circumstances places him with a
certain indescribable grace and perhaps
nobleness which places him on a plane
above his fellow men, and it logically fol­lows
that each time this occurs it neces­sarily
has a certain given effect upon his
character. Let us elucidate this a little. A
violinist walks into the music room and
takes a fiddle from the case. No matter
how dexterously he fingers the strings or
how delicately .he draws the bow across
them the tone is always screechy. Re­placing
this one, he picks up another, pos­sibly
a genuine Stradivarius. This time ex­quisite
melodious notes are wafted forth
for all the world to hear. The more the
good violin is played, the sweeter becomes
its tone. The more the poor one is played
the more screechy it becomes.
* * * * *
Nevertheless, even though greatness is
denied to most of us, we can at least be­come
educated, which is perhaps a good
second best. In this process of education
one naturally conies into contact with the
great souls of the past. This contact, if
close enough, is bound to instill into us
some portion, however small, of the man's
greatness. Maybe I'm wrong and greatness
is after all, acquired, and by constant con­tact
with great souls, we ourselves could,
.step by step, become such.

NOW THAT Spring has arrived and
the dances are not so far in the fu­ture,
their is quite a bit of talk
going the rounds about the student-police
system that has been in vogue here. Stu­dents
say that they are getting tired of
being regulated in social affairs by a bunch
of policemen with big guns. Some of the
chapeiones are saying that they don't care
to be given supervision over a house, then
to have armed force outside to enforce the
rules.
I don't like it from a safety-first stand­point.
None of the men employed as "cops"
are known as pistol champions, or even
as experts in the use of firearms. Some
dark night during a set of dances somebody
is going to get shot by an over-hasty stu­dent
cop. Let's shelve the artillery during

An investigation regarding the in­terest
of Auburn students and pro­fessors
in sports has recently been
conducted by Dr. R. L. Johns. Some
very interesting facts were disclosed.
It was found that the professors had
a wider range of knowledge of sports
than students, that freshmen know
slightly more about sports than seni­ors,
that the co-eds know about half
as much about sports as the boys,
and that those students who are well
informed about sports are quite as
good students as those who know
little about sports. It is assumed that
if one is well informed on sports he
is interested in sports because he is
not compelled to be informed on a
wide range of sports. Objective type
tests were given covering such sports
as football, basketball, baseball, track,
horse racing, prize fighting, tennis,
golf, horse racing, auto racing, air
plane racing, chess, billiards, etc.
The number of students and pro­fessors
taking the tests were too small
to make the results conclusive. How­ever
the results are as follows: Of
104 facts concerning sports asked for,
the boys scored a grade of 75 per
cent, the girls 40 per cent, professors
90 per cent, freshmen boys 77 per
cent, senior boys 72 per cent. Speak­ing
in terms of statistics, the • corre­lation
between grades mades on the
sports test and grades made in school
subjects is zero.
Thees facts are somewhat in con­tradiction
to prevailing beliefs. For
instance, professors are generally
supposed to be less interested in
sports than students, students who
are interested in sports are supposed
to be less interested in their books
and freshmen are generally supposed
to know less than seniors.
The results of two individual items
on the test are of peculiar interest
Twenty seven per cent of the student
body tested did not know that Mike
Donahue had ever coached at Au­burn
and fifty-seven per cent did not
know that Auburn has won more
Southern Conference championships
in football than any other college. It
was suggested that if upper classmen
believe that freshmen need initiation,
that next year it would be a good plan
to construct an objective type test on
information about Auburn and what
was'expected of a true Aubm-n rat,
copies could be mimeographed, the
tests administered to freshmen and
some very efficient learnings take
place.
Article On WAPI
Appears In March
Radio Magazine
In the March issue of the Radio
Digest there appeared an article on
WAPI broadcasting station and its
work in Alabama. The article re­viewed
the organization of WAPI and
history of the station since its begin­ning
four years ago.
Four years ago the radio bug be­gan
its work on two Alabama men,
P. O. Davis and L. N. Duncan, both
connected with the Alabama Poly­technic
Intsitute in Auburn. By their
influence and the beneficence of the
Alabama Power Company, a station
under the call letters of WSY was
given to the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute.
During the past year Mr. Duncan
and Mr. Davis found that the station
did not satisfy the hopes of the found­ers,
not being able to reach enough
people because of the limited facili­ties.
As a result of conferences held
with the City of Birmingham, ar­rangements
were made by which the
station was moved to Birmingham.
The entire fourteenth floor of the
Protective Life Insurance Building
was turned over to WAPI. By the
arrangements made with the City of
Birmingham half of the expenses
were to be paid by that city if the
station were to be moved to Birming­ham.
The article appearing in the Radio
Digest, which is one of the most wide­ly
read radio magazines in the coun­try
is very complimentary to the
work of WAPI. As the article states,
WAPI, Alabama's only super power
station has already taken its place
among the premier stations of the
country and its future is certainly to
be very successful.

accuracy of statement, and excellence
of style.
The competition will end May 1,
1929, and all essays must be in the
hands of Chairman Miss. Arthur II.
Jenkins, Rivermont Avenue, Lynch­burg,
Va., by that time.
The first local public showing of
the motion pictures taken by the
Middle American Research Depart­ment
of Tulane during its recent ex­pedition
to Mexico and Central
America received a great deal of
praise.
Frans Blom, head of the depart­ment,
and who personally conducted
the John Geddings Gray Memorial ex­pedition,
explained the pictures.
The scenes showing the strange re­ligious
ceremonies of the Lacandon
Indian drew especial attention, this
having been the first time the reli­gious
services were witnessed by
white men.
"With Tulane on the Tropical
Trails," was the name of the six-reel
film, which showed the party in the
great jungles of Central America,
the finding and studying of ruined
cities, _ native customs and habits of
various Indian tribes, as well as pic­tures
of mahogany cutting and sci­ences
showing how the raw material
for chewing gum is gathered.
The picture follows the party all
through their expedition.
The Tulane expedition explored
Southern Mexico, Guatemala and Yu­catan
from south to north, following,
the progress of the ancient Maya
culture. The members of the party
were equipped to make- studies or
archaeology, geography and the
relics of Maya culture, as well as
to study the Indian tribes now living
in this area. The staff included Mr,
Blom, Louis Bristow,
McBryde, Don Carlos Basauri, Ciriaco
Augular and Gustavo Kanter. The
expedition started at Tapachula, near
the Pacific coast of Southern Mexico,
and pushed into the wildernesses
where the only inhabitants are Indi­ans
living under the most primitive
conditions to be found in the Western
Hemisphere. They measured and
photographed pre-Columbian skele­tons
and made pictures of numerous
ruined cities and temples. The ma­terial
collected will be arranged and
presented in book form as soon as it
can be classified by the members of
the party.
The archaeological quest led the ex­plorers
into trackless forests where
no human being had traveled for
hundreds of years, and into dangers
from wild beasts, hostile Indians and
strange foods.
CAUSES FOR ANOTHER WORLD
WAR DISCUSSED AT MEETING
At least two causes exist for
another great war, posisbly a world
war, the only preventative of which
is the all but inconceivable alterna­tive
of giving up of valuable lands in
the western Pacific and the Mediter­ranean
by Great Britain and France.
This was the general consensus of
opinion of four educators and popu­lation
experts who took part in a
conference on "Population, a World
Problem,' held at Oberlin College.
That Japan is the world's danger
spot was the warning sounded by Dr.
W. S. Thompson, director of the
Scripps Foundation 'for Research in
Population Problems at Miami Uni­versity,
who addressed the gathering
on "Danger Spots in Poulation."
Italy, he said, is the next most po­tent
cause for war.
"Japan," said Dr. Thompson, "has
a population of well over 60,000,000
people, living on an island not much
larger than New England. The ma­jority
of the people are living in ab­ject
poverty because the country is
not capable of supporting such a pop­ulation.
The doors of the civilized
world have been closed to the Jap­anese
by such immigration barriers
as exist in the United States and
Australia—lands where there is still
plenty of room.
"It is inconceivable to believe that
the Japanese, a highly intelligent and
proud race, are going to sit by and
starve when they know that in both
the New World and in the southwest-
) Webster e r n Pa c ^ ' c there are lands, held by
the white race, which have been in
no way developed to the fullest ex­tent,
and which can still support un­told
millions of population.
"If enough pressure is exerted on
any matter, an explosion is sure to
result if there is no outlet, and such
an explosion is imminent in Japan."
When that explosion comes, Dr.
Thompson said, the United States
will find it most advantageous to
align with Japan against Great Bri­tain.
"For this reason," he said, "the
islands of the southwestern Pacific
are now owned almost entirely by
Great Britain, who is acting the dog
in the manger by not allowing anyone
but white people to colonize them.
Inasmuch as the white race cannot
work in a tropical climate, the Eng­lishmen
will never be able to fill up
these lands.
"The Japanese are by nature a
people who thrive best in the tropics,
and were they to colonize the western
Pacific islands, the United States
would have a far greater commerce
in this region than we now have un­der
British domination."
Both Dr. Thompson and Dr. L. I.
Dublin, statistician for the Metropoli­tan
Life Insurance Company, ex­pressed
the belief that the population
pressure in this section of the world
could be relieved by letting down the
immigration bars in lands sparsely
populated.
Exception to this cure-all was tak­en,
however, by Dr. H. P. Fairchild,
professor of sociology at New York
University.
"It is an established face," he said,
"that population is any country is
not relieved by emigration. If a half
million people a year were to leave
Japan for the next century, in 100
years there would be just as many if
not more Japanese in Japan, and liv­ing
conditions there would be just as
bad as they are now."
"It is the bounden duty of the
races now owning large territories,"
he continued, "to preserve these un­populated
areas until such nations as
Japan have learned to control them­selves
internally by birth control.
Then, and then only, may we safely
let down the bars to them."
The first sessions of the two-day
conference took the form of a debate
over what degree of birth control can
be safely practiced in the world with­out
resulting in a decline instead of
an increase in population.

A vision come true
In a part of Africa little known to the
whites, where obscure trails ran, Cecil
Rhodes dared to envision a railroad. He
lived to build it.
The railroad itself was part of a vaster
dream, a dream of a far inland colony linked
fast to existing coast settlements by rail
and wire communication. And he lived
to build Rhodesia.
First the dream, then the reality, is the
rule with telephone men too, as they work
to greater heights of service. But in be­tween,
they know, must come periods of
careful planning and smooth coordination
of many elements.
Scientific research, manufacturing, plant
construction, commercial development,
public relations, administration—many va­ried
telephone activities offer a widening op­portunity
to practical-minded visionaries.

Eighth Inning Rally
Gives ClemsonNine
Win Over Auburn
By Dick Jones
A gallant rally in the eight inning
gave the hustling Clemson tossers a
4 to 3 victory over the Auburn Tigers
Tuesday in the second of the two
game series played between them in
the "Village" this week. The Moul-tonmen
were leading 3 to '1 until
then. They had scored their 3 runs in
the fourth off of five hits. This vic­tory
gave the Clemson Tigers one
game to the good in the series with
Coach "Slick" Moultons' gentlemen.
Magill, Guyton's right fielder, was
the first man up in the eighth and
sent the "apple" far into center field
for a two base hit, but came in home
on errors before the ball stopped at
the infield. The next two Clemson
men up were eaily put out, but the
next two were able to get on by two
errors and both scored on another er­ror.
The Auburn Tigers "sunk low"
after this and were unable to pull
themselves together again.
"Red" Harkins pitched an unusu
ally consistant game for Auburn, let­ting
up only four hits to the Guyton
lads. Harkins also got one hit out of
three trips to the plate and made ten
assists. Captain "Jack Frost" Smith
played a sensational game at the ini­tial
bag for Auburn. He received two
hits out of three times at bat and
made a couple of beautiful snags that
were possible hits. One of them he
caught with his bare hand that was
high over his head and made him
"stretchout" to get it.

By Dick Jones
The "Howard College Freshmen
baseball team dropped their second of
the two game series with the Auburn
Rats 12 to 3 here in the "Village"
Saturday in a fast game that 19
"Baby" Tigers took part in.
The Auburn Rats scored in every
inning but the second and eighth and
received a hit in every inning but the
eighth when they knocked four high
flys, two to the infield and one to
the outfield. The high balls being
caught with sensational snags by the
"Baby" Bulldogs. Howard registered
her scores in the first, third, and
eight innings. The first one being
made by Parks who got on by an er­ror,
but was forced to second by
Brown, and came in home on Betti-sons'
sacrifice hit. Bettison, catcher
for Howard, got the longest hit of
the game. He was the first man up
in the eight inning and knocked a
straight liner to center field, which
was good for three bases. Bettison
also batted with a perfect percentage.
Going to bat twice and receiving two
hits.
Auburn had four men to bat with
a perfect average in this game. They
were Kaley, Ward, Prim and Riley.
Kaley catches, Ward plays right field,
Prim pitches, and "Squat" Riley holds
down short stop. Riley was also the
star ihfielder for the Tigers. He
handled five beautiful chances with­out
an error and made one putout.
Prim and Anderson were the star
pitchers for Auburn.

Varsity and Freshmen
Meet Tech This Week
While Coach "Slick" Moulton's var­sity
baseball tossers are battling the
Georgia Tech Varsity in Atlanta this
coming Friday and Saturday, Coach
"Red" Brown's Rats will be playing
the Georgia Tech Rats here in the
"Village".
Both teams are primed at "top
notch" for the affairs and are anxi­ous
to win four games from the Tech
gentlemen on one week-end. While
the Varsity suffered one defeat and
drew a tie with the Clemson Tigers in
their last two games, the Rats were
victorious in both their first two
games play in the "Plains" last week­end
with the Howard College Rats.
The Rats are in "high gear" again
this year and have a good chance to
repeat their diamond work of last
year by not losing a single game
throughout the season. The pitching
staff of the Rats last year was their
strongest department and is also
again this year. "Buck" . Carter,
"Red" Harkins, and "Breezy" Winn
were the star pitchers for the Fresh­men
last year and, with the excep­tion
of Winn who did not return to
school this year, they are starring on
the Varsity team this year. "Frock"
Pate, who is performing regularly,
was also a star on the rat team last
year. He played short-stop and was
captain of the team. His home runs
on the rat team last year accounted
for many of the Rats' victories.

Auburn Tennis Team
Loses to B.-Southern
By Dick Jones
The Auburn tennis team lost a
hard fought series of matches to the
Birmingham-Southern team here in
the "Plains" Saturday 5-1. The
Panther quartet composed of, Miller,
Barclift, Green, and Bieman won
four singles and one double, while
the Tigers won one double from
Green and Barclift. The Auburn Ten
nis team is making their debut in the
Southern Conference circle this year
and is doing fairly well for a start.
This is their third series of matches.
They lost to Howard 5-1 in their first
series and lost to Birmingham-South­ern
in Birmingham 6-0 in their
second. They showed much better
form against the Panhers this time
and if they continue to improve they
will soon equal the best. The Tiger
tennis team will play their first con­ference
game next Saturday when
they meet Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
Then the following Saturday they
play Howard College again at Au­burn.
The team also plans to enter
the Southern Conference tournament
which will be held in New Orleans
April 8. A tennis tournament among
the whole student body at Auburn has
been arranged and will begin next
Wednesday. A medal will be given
to the winner and one to the runner
up.
In the singles, Gilbert Miller trim­med
Nickelson 6-3 and 6-4. Bieman
beat May 6-3 and 6-1. "Chillie"
Green defeated Halse 6-1 and 6-3.
And Clara Barclift licked Jackson
A , ,x
Among the most faithful Auburn
students are none other than Ebb and
Fob James who have completed their
Athletic career at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute and are still in the
"Plains" working hard for "Ole A.
P. I." They have been out on Drake
Field almost every evening trying to
see if they can help the coming Au­burn
athletes along in any way. Along
with this, they have been umpiring in
nearly every mock battle when they
are needed and taking care of the
Umpires job during the Freshmen
games.
It is almost needless to state the
many honors won by both these lads
while at Auburn for almost anyone
who talks about Auburn athletics in
a conversation mentions the James
twins. Fob was captain of basketball
last"" year and Ebb was captain of
baseball last last year.
Clemson Tossers
Tie With Auburn
In 12-Inning Tilt
By Dick Jones
"Big Ben" Newton, Auburn's hefty
left fielder, stepped up to the plate
here in the "Village" Monday and
knocked the ball out of the field in
the twelfth inning of the Auburn-
Clemson game to save the hustling
Auburn Tigers from defeat at the
hands of the Clemson Tigers. Au­burn
also tied the score in the ninth
with one run by getting three clean
hits. Justus, Clemsons' fast short
stop, socked a home run in the tenth
inning to pyt Clemson one scoi'e
ahead. Auburn still had a bat left
in the tenth as they received two
more hits to tie the score again.
Neither team scored in the eleventh
inning but both scored another run
in the twelfth to make it 6 to 6 and
the game had to be called. "Big Ben"
Newton was the first man up in the
twelfth for Auburn and knocked the
ball out of sight. The umpire threw
both hands up, calling it a perfect
home run. Auburn failed to get
another hit and the game ended there.
The Plainsmen* hit hard in the
first, second, ninth, and tenth in­nings,
but failed to register more
than one run in any of these innings
or the rest. The Clemson Tigers hit
hard in the sixth inning, but made
their three runs in the seventh with­out
receiving a single hit in this in­ning.
The Clemson Tigers scored
\ their first run in the sixth.
"Buck" Carter, the Plainsmen hurl-er,
pitched throughout the twelve in­nings
for Auburn and only gave up
! eight hits. Carter also starred at
bat, when he received a nice hit in
the second inning to score "Frock"
Pate and register Auburn's second
point.
"Frock" Pate was the star for Au­burn
at field. He handled six beau­tiful
chances without an error and
made three putouts. Justus was the
star for Clemson. He received two
hits out of six trips to the plate, one
of them being a home run.
The game was interrupted three
| times by a hard rain, but was con-

ALT. CAPT. FRANK CURRIE
One of the most consistant per­formers
on Coach "Slick" Moulton's
hustling baseball team this year is
Alt. Capt. Frank Currie who is play
ing his second and last year on the
diamond for Auburn.
Frankie holds down the "Hot Cor­ner"
in fine style and makes few er­rors.
His batting is above the aver­age
and is unusually outstanding at
times. A home run by Currie in the
ninth inning of the Birminghm-
Southern game with an Auburn Tiger
on base, saved the day for Auburn.
The score was tied at the ninth and
Auburn was taking the last bat. Cur­rie
knocked the "apple" out of the
lot and scored himself and the Tiger
on base.
6-1 and 6-1.
In the doubles, Jackson and Halse
lost to Miller and Bieman 6-2, and

all first round matches must be play­ed
by Saturday night, April 20, and
all second round matches on the fol­lowing
day. The third round will be
played off on the Saturday of April
27, with the finals coming Sunday,

The six winning teams of the first
round will compose tne upper flight
and will compete for the champion­ship
cup, while the six losers will be
dropped to the second or consolation
flight and the winner will receive the
second flight award. Arrangements
for the matches will be made by the
opposing teams but the above sche-duel
must be followed and it is de­sirable
that all matches be played as
soon as possible on the dates that have
ben set.
.. Failure of any team to appear will
result in the forfeit of the match. All
the rules of the local olub will be ob­served
and to avoid misunderstanding
it will be wise for each team to se­cure

LEE COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL
FORMALLY DEDICATED SUNDAY
Representatives of two races of
people met here Sunday afternoon
and dedicated the new Lee County
training school building to the edu­cation
of negro children in this sec­tion
of Alabama. Prominent educa­tional
leaders—white and colored—
participated in the dedication.
Speaking on the advantages of edu­cation,
Dr. Bradford Knapp, de­clared
that education of the right
kind builds character, makes people
more efficient, and enables them to
live better with each other.
Speaking as a representative of his
race, Dr. R. R.'Moton, principal of
Tuskegee Institute, said that he
could remember when negroes no­where
in the United States, with the
posible exception of Washington
City, had an educational building
such as that being dedicated at Au­burn.
The building was erected at a cost
of 35,000; and Dr. Moton announced
that 75 per cent of it came from white
people. Local negroes, the town of
Auburn, and the Julian Rosenwald
fund through Tukegee Institute con­tributed
to the erection of the build­ing.
Land for the building was do­nated
by E. W. Screws who madej
other donations; and who was lauded
for his unselfish work.
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago,
founder of the Rosenwald fund, was
represented by his son, L. Rosenwald,
his daughter and her husband, Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Steam of New Or­leans,
and a grandson who has his
grandfather's name. Mr. and Mrs.
Stearn and Mr. Rosenwald each made
short talks. Mr. Stearn is president
of the New Orleans Cotton" exchange.
Dr. Moton said that the Julius Rosen­wald
fund has entered into the erec­tion
of 4,500 school buildings in the
South. -
Prof. W. Y. Fleming, county su­perintendent"-
of education for Lee
County, presided over the dedicatory
exercises. He announced that a move­ment
is under way to add four more
rooms to the building and to install
equipment for vocational training.
Other speakers were Dean Zebulon
Judd, of the school of education at
Auburn, Dr. J. E. Lambert, state su­pervisor
of negro schools of the State
Department of Education, Montgom­ery,
and E. W. Screws.
Dr. C. S. Yarbrough, former may­or
of Auburn, was praised for his
services in making the building a
reality.
An audience which overflowed the
auditorium of the buildings attended
the exercises.

Dr. Henry Louis Smith, who was
to have retired as president of Wash­ington
and Lee University after sev­enteen
years of outstanding service,
accepted the trustees' invitation to
remain as president until Jan. 1.
President Smith reaches the retire­ment
age, 70, July 30.
No decision as to Doctor Smith's
successor has been reached, Paul M.
Penick, secretary of the board of
i trustees said. The trustees have the
right, he explained, to continue a
president in office by specific ap­pointment
as they choose.
The resolution adopted by the ex­ecutive
committee of the board fol­lows:
"In view of the "Tact that a presi­dent
has not yet been elected to suc­ceed
Dr. Henry Louis Smith, the ex­ecutive
committee requests President
Smith to continue his work at Wash­ington
and Lee until the first of
January, 1930. With the expectation
that by that time they will have se­cured
a new president.
"They earnestly ask Dr. Smith to
so adjust his plans as to be able to
comply with his request."
To this President Smith replied:
"To answer your request in the
affirmative and retain the duties of
the presidency till Jan. 1 -will break
up all my personal plans for the com­ing
summer and fall. Yet I,have
never allowed personal plans to out-weight
the welfare and maintenance
of Washington and Lee.
"Agreeing most heartily with you
that to place the institution on July
1, in the hands of a temporary sub­stitute
would be quite harmful, I
hereby lay aside my own plans and
will defer my resignation till Jan. 1,
1930."
Dr. Smith had planned to devote
his time to writing and lecturing.
Plans were complete for a home at
Greensboro, N. C. He had intended
to spend January and February in
Florida. He was born at Greensboro,
N. C., in 1859. He received his Ph.
D. degree from the University of Vir­ginia.
He was president of Davidson
College from 1901 to 1912 when he
became president of Washington and
Lee. r.
Newcomb Students
Assist With Meeting
Faculty members and students of
m
Newcomb held an active part in the
biennial national convention of
American Association of University
Women held in New Orleans.
Some of the six hundred or more
members of the Association, rep­resenting
states from virtually every
section of the country and delegates
from foreign nations, were shown
around the Newcomb campus the past
few days by Newcomb seniors.
Newcomb cooperated in the enter­tainment
program of the Association,
the local chapter having entertained
with an extensive program, which
included a tea at the Warren House.
Mrs. Pierce Butler, wife of Dean But­ler
of Newcomb, was chairman of
the arrangement committee.
Newcomb girls also acted as pages
for the meetings of the Association,
which were held at the Roosevelt
Hotel.
Some of the most outstanding
women in the educational field were
included among the delegates.
Dr. Ellen Gleditsch, Norwegian
professor and scientist, president of
the International Federation of Uni­versity
Women, was one of the early
arrivals. She gave a lecture at New­comb
on her work with radioactive
metals. Another foreign visitor was
Miss Adelia Palacios, professor of
mathematics m the University of
Mexico. Profesor Eduard C. Lind-man
of New York School of Social
Work was another distinguished
guest.
The sessions of the convention be­gan
Wednesday morning, April 10,
and continued through Friday night,
April 12th and broke up Saturday
into, group trips to the Evangeline
country, the Gulf Coast, Cuba and
Central America. Dr. Mary E. Wool-ley,
president of the Association, ad­dressed
the opening session Wednes­day,
and talks and round table dis­cussions
by leading delegates com­posed
the remainder of the first two
days sessions.
During the 1929 summer session
at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
graduate courses in education for
candidates for advanced degrees and
also for training of principals and
superintendents of high schools and
city and county superintendents of
education will be offered.
Along with graduate courses for
supervisors and superintendents,
Dean Zebulon Judd, director of the
summer school, said that graduate
work will be offered in other divi­sions
of the college. Under-graduate
courses will be given in engineering,
agriculture, architecture, academic
studies, veterinary medicine, chem­istry,
home economics, and other sub­jects.
In addition to the regular faculty
in the school of education at Auburn,
a staff of specialists will conduct
courses. Dr-r E. L. Austin of the Ball
Teachers College fat Muncie, Ind., j
will give courses in rural education. I
Dr. James E. Doyle will conduct
courses in marketing for "the special
benefit of teachers of vocational ag­riculture
under the Smith-Hughes
act of Congress.
Dr. Stephen C. Gribble, of Wash­ington
University, St. Louis, will
give special courses for teachers of
science and mathematics. Dr. J. K.
Greer of Howard College, Birming'
ham, will give courses in history.
Miss Francis H. Clark, supervisor
of schools of Talladeg* County, will
be in charge of methods courses in
the normal school division of the
summer school, Dean Judd said.
Many of the regular faculty of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute will
be on the summer school faculty.
However, specialists in different sub­jects
are coming to Auburn for the
summer school session.
Marriage Helps
Students' Grades
UNFAIR COMPARISON
The Fort Meade, Floi-ida, Leader
propounded the query, "Why is a
newspaper like a woman?" and offer­ed
a year's subscription for the best
answer.which brought forth these re-piles:
"Because you can believe every­thing
they say; they are thinner than
they used to be; they have bold-faced
types; they are easy to read; well
worth looking ov#r; back numbers,)
much in demand; they are not afraid I
to speak their minds; they have a
great deal of influence, and if they
know anything they usually tell it."|
"Because they always have the last j
word. Because they carry the newsj
wherever they go."
The correct answer is: "Because
every man should have one of his
own and not run after his neighbors."
That marriage improves students'
grades is a real fact according to a
survey made on the campus of the
University of Washington.
The survey states that there are
plenty of married couples among the
student body of the university, and
the chief advantages these students
find in their undergraduate marriages
is a tendency to settle down from the
gay college life and give greater at­tention
to books. Quite often both
husband and wife are still attending
classes, although sometimes just one
of the pair is.
"I think any boy or girl will be
better off by getting married before
they've finished their university
studies," Joe Bowen, married varsity
football player, said.
"If I have anything to do," Tom
Branhart, editor of the University of
Washington Daily, and married for
two years, said, "I can do it around
meal-time. A,t .home it's just a case
of moving one chair from the study
table to the dining room."
"Being married has raised my
grades from C's to B's and B's to
A's" Barnhart said.
At the University of Oregon Prof.
Herbert Howe, of the English depart­ment,
would have all of his students
marry.
"All college students should bej

married before they enter college,"
he is quoted. "If they were all mar­ried
they would waste fewer even­ings,
and marriage would be for the
betterment of scholastic standing."
Edwin Guthrie, psychology expert
at the university, said, "Intelligence
tests show that persons who gel mar­ried
have a higher intelligence
rating."
Enough
is enough!
The great moment may come at a"modernistic"
symphony for piccolo and factory whistle, or it
might arrive in a tobacco shop—that glorious
instant when die healthy citizen boots out polite
pretense and announces, "Enough is enough!
Give me "music I can understand; give me a
cigarette I can really taste, or stop the show!"
You can't blame him. Cigarettes, like music,
are supposed, to. give pleasure; if they don't
they're flat, and that's all there is to it.
Now, Chesterfields are made for the express
purpose of satisfying the taste. They have the
requisite mildness, but not carried to the van­ishing
point. Starting with the finest tobaccos
we can buy, we've added a blend that keeps
the best of their flavors intact.
That's the whole story, of which the happy
ending is, "I'd rather have a Chesterfield!"

HARKINS WRITES
ON MATHEMATICS
Paper Published In -April Issue
Mathematics Journal
of
Dr. D. C. Harkin, of the Depart­ment
of Mathematics at Auburn, has
written a paper of about twelve
pages in printed form on "The Ab­stract
Identity of Modular Systems
and Ideals." This work was pub­lished
in the April issue of the
American Journal of Mathematics
(Vol. 51, No. 2, 205-16). By using
the method of abstraction and trans­formation
by formal equivalence, Dr.
Harkin has shown in this paper that
Dedikend's theory of ideals and
Kronecker's theory of modular sys
terns are abstractly identical.
It may be of interest to note that
the American Journal of Mathematics
is the oldest mathematical journal in
America. It was established in 1878
at Johns Hopkins University. Up to
that time there was very little pro­duced
in America in the field of
higher mathematics, while Europe
could be well proud of the important
productions of such men as Euler,
Cauchy, Gauss, LaGrange, Galois,
and Abel. American young men had
to go to Europe for study and -re­search
in higher mathematics. In or­der
to lay the foundations of mathe­matical
research in this country, the
administration of Johns Hopkins Uni­versity
invited J. J. Sylvester, an
English mathematician, to come to
this country and occupy the chair of
mathematics at that institution, for
a salary of $5,000 payable in gold.
Prof. Sylvester resumed his new
duties in 1877 and was the first edi­tor
of the American Journal of
Mathematics. Through his researches
published in the Journal, and through
his inspiring contact with advanced
students, he gave a wonderful im­petus
to the study of higher mathe-

of religion.
Representing Daniels Lumber Com­pany
,which concern constructed the
church, Dan T. Jones presented the
keys of the new building to Prof.
W. W. Hill, chairman of the board of
trustees. Following this, Rev. James
R. Edwards, pastor, introduced W. S.
Long, chairman of the construction
committee, who made a brief state­ment
concerning the cost of the new
church.
With Dr. Edwards presiding, the
actual services of dedication were
given responsively by the pastor and
the congregation.
Following the organ recital Satur
day evening given by Mrs. Rupert
Ingram and Mrs. Mary drake Askew,
a large reception was held at which
refreshments were served. Every one
present was given the opportunity to
inspect the commodious class rooms
and Sunday School plant erf the new
church.
Two former Baptist pastors, Rev.

well chosen, beautiful, and very ef­fective;
Murphy Hififh brought its
own scenery, which was handled by
i ts stage crew, composed of F. L.
Bridgewaterr Frank Blackstone, and
Millard Barnett. The stage crew cle­verly
effected a beautiful Chinese
parade, as seen from an overlooking
balcony.
For three consecutive years .Mur­phy
High has won the tournament;
the '27 and '28 contests were held in
Birmingham, and both times the coast
high school emerged victorious. Olaf
Knudsen was judged the best actor
in the 1927 tournament; the best ac­t
o r in 1928 was also from Mobile.
There was no such award in the re­cent
tourney.
Each of the other three high schools
entering the finals possessed superior
actors; Winston Holman, of Lanier,
was very good, as well as emotional,
as a condemned murderer; Ralph Ly-erly
and Mildred Cauthen, of We-tumpka,
were the outstanding players
in their production; Frances Whit­man
was clever and emotional in the
role of a small boy. In the Albert-ville
play, this little girl had the main
p a r t ; it was a difficult portrayal, but
she faultlessly played the part, and
her extreme abilities helped largely
to make the Albertville play a suc­cess.
The 1930 dramatic contest will
probably be held in Auburn; in almost
every way, the 1929 tournament was
an outstanding success.

Mr. Ballew said that the r a i l r o a d s,
of the United States have made con­siderable
progress in electrification.
Main lines on which traffic is heavy
are being electrified first. He ex­plained
that in some cases an elec­t
r ic motor will pull as much as three
steam engines and electricity does the
job steadier and with less injury to
the rolling equipment.
Stereoptican slides were used to il­lustrate
the lecture which was deliv­ered
upon invitation from the local
organization before whom it was pre­sented.
While in Auburn Mr. Ballew
was entertained by Prof. A. St. C.
Dunstan, head professor of electrical
engineering.

From the Department of Educa­tion
comes a notice to the effect that
Music and Dramatics will be sep­arated
from the Department of Eng­lish
next year. These two courses are
to be changed so that they will be
two separate Departments. Full
credit will be given for such work.
The course in music will include
voice, piano, and different wind in­struments,
while the course in dra­matics
is to offer elementary and sec­ondary
work, play-producing, argu­mentation,
and debating.
Keep youth
longer!
cleanse the system
of poisons
Two of the great enemies to youth
and vitality are delayed elimination
and intestinal poisons. To keep your­self
free from both these common diffi­culties
will help you to stay young.
With the use of Nujol you can do it
too. For Nujol absorbs body poisons
and carries them off, preventing their
absorption by the body. Nujol also
softens the waste matter and brings
about normal evacuation. I t is harm­less;
contains no drugs or medicine.
I t won't cause gas or griping pains, or
affect the stomach or kidneys. Every
corner druggist has Nujol. Make sure
you get the genuine. Look for the
Nujol bottle with the label on the back
that you can read right through the
bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today.

IT WON'T BE LONG
NOW. AND THE. PAUSE
THAT'S COMING MAY
NOT BE SO REFRESH­ING
AS SOME OTHERS
WE KNOW OF.
The moral is to avoid situations
where it is impossible to pause
and refresh yourself — because
whenever you can't is when you
most wish you could. Fortu­nately,
in normal affairs there's
always a soda fountain or refresh­ment
stand around the corner
from anywhere with plenty of
ice-cold Coca-Cola ready. And
every day in the year 8 million
people stop a minute, refresh them­selves
with this pure drink of
natural flavors and are off again
with the zest of a fresh start.
