HENRY B. STEAGALL SPEAKS
TO CROWD IN LANGDON HALL
URGES PARTY UNITY
IN HIS ADDRESS TO
CITIZENS OF AUBURN
"Religion Is Not Issue With
Thinking Element" Says
Congressman
"If I were not going to vote the
Democratic ticket in the election on
November 6, I would have long ago
returned the nomination which you
gave me in the primaries last spring,
"were the opening words of Henry
B. Steagall, congressman from the
third congressional district of Ala­bama,
in his address in Langdon Hall,
at 7:30 Friday night. The keynote
of his speech was party unity.
"As concerns prohibition," he said,
"I and many others, who cast their
vote in Congress for the Eighteenth
Amendment, are staunch supporters
of Al Smith for president, for the
reason that he is the Democratic
candidate. This is not treason to
prohibition, for the E i g h t e e n t h
Amendment will, remain in the sta­tutes
of the constitution of the Uni­ted
States until the moral forces of
this country see fit to repeal it. . . .
"Religion is not an issue with the
thinking element. Mr. Hoover, in a
recent article, stated that he and the
Repulican Party did not want the
vote of those who supported him on
that stand. You, the people of Au­burn,
will not vote Republican be­cause
of religious prejudices, for
Auburn is an intelligent community.
You have here an institution which I
think is the finest in the state of Ala­bama.
. . .
"When you go to the polls on Nov­ember
6 you will vote for Al Smith,
for the Democratic party. You will
support your party because party
government cannot exist without
party unity, and the success of our
nation is largely due to party govern­ment;
in it lies strength. . . ."
ROGER KNAPP PLAYS
IN EMORY ORCHESTRA
Roger Knapp, of Auburn has been
selected as a member of the Emory
University orchestra and will appear
in the public concerts this year, it was
announced yesterday. Knapp plays
the trombone.
, The Emory orchestra, popularly
known in Atlanta as the Emory "Lit­tle
Symphony," is composed of forty-five
student musioians. For several
years the orchestra has given monthly
Sunday afternoon concerts, playing a
wide range of classical music, and in
this way has become noted as one of
Atlanta's musical institutions. Parts
of the orchestra take the tours with
the Emory Glee Club: seven mem­bers
were with the singers in the
European tour.
According to university officials
many students of musical ability are
attracted to Emory because of the op­portunities
offered by the glee club
and orchestra.
WAPI SELLS OLD
EQUIPMENT TO
BIG RUBBER CO.
Dismantling Of Old Station Already
Well Under Way
Bohler Urges Students
To Be Loyal To Team
Promptly at 7:30 Thursday night
the band began its "pre-mass meet­ing"
march down College Street, to
the strains of "Glory, Glory, Dear
Old Auburn." When it had returned
to the main gate of the campus, a
crowd of two hundred wildly enthus­iastic
students were close on its heels.
When Langdon Hall was reached the
band struck up the tune of "Touch­down,
Auburn," and the crowd roared.
First on the program were several
snappy yells,- led by Peryear, Tyler
and Jones. Then Coach Pitts was in­troduced.
His short talk was one of
high hope and confidence that Au­burn
would soon have a winning foot­ball
team.
Dr. Knapp, the next speaker, stress­ed
the fact that a team, to be a fight­ing
one, must have a fighting school
behind it. Every student at a game,
he said should fight, in his heart for
every inch of ground gained by his
team.
Coach Bohler then urged that Au­burn
students be loyal to the school
by helping the team be at peak of
physical condition during the football
season.
Then followed a number of yells
which concluded the pep rally.
P. O. Davis Undergoes
A Successful Operation
P. O. Davis, head of the bureau of
public information, underwent a suc­cessful
operation for the removal of
his tonsils, Friday, at the Opelika hos­pital.
Mr. Davis is recovering rapid­ly
from the effects of his operation,
and expects to return to his office on
Monday.
Under the new call letters, WTAQ,
part of the old equipment of Radio
Station WAPI will be heard. The
transmitter and motor generator have
been sold to the Gillette Rubber Com­pany,
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, accord­ing
to information given out at the
office of Prof. L. N. Duncan, directoi
of the station.
This equipment was offered for
sale several weeks ago when the de­cision
was made to install a new
5000-watt station in Birmingham.
Inquiries regarding it have been re­ceived
from many states. The power
of the equipment is 1000 watts.
Immediately after the deal was
closed dismantling began. The pur­chaser
expects to have it on the air
by the 11th of November. Workmen
at Auburn expect to have it enroute
by the end of the week.
Concurrent with this announce­ment
Prof. Duncan said that install­ation
of the new station in Birming­ham
is making satisfactory progress.
The station house and adjoining resi­dence
for engineers are nearing com­pletion.
Immediately after the con­tractor
completes the job installation
of apparatus will begin.
With the main studio located on
the top floor of the Protective Life
Building, the installation of studio
apparatus will begin as soon as en­gineers
complete their plans and
specifications. This will be dope by
the Protective Life Insurance Com­pany;
and S. F. Clabuagh, president,
expects to make it a show place as
well as a model radio studio with of­fices
and rest rooms in connection.

Personal Messages Addressed To
Individuals
Saturday the Auburn band sent
pep telegrams to each member of the
team. One's admiration for the band
is strengthened day by day by its
actions. Truly, the Auburn band is
a prime factor in the maintenance of
school spirit. Not content with in­spiring
the students and team during
the game, it goes still further, and
adds to the courage and confidence
of the team by sending to its mem­bers
words of cheer and encourage­ment.
FAMOUS AUBURN
BAND SPONSORS
TIGER MATINEE
Proceeds Go To Buy New Uniforms
and Music
The football matineed at the Tiger
Theatre Saturday, under auspices of
the Auburn band, was the first of a
series of such matinees to be offered
for the benefit of the organization.
Play-by-play results of the Tulane
game to be played in New Orleans on
November 10, and of the Mississippi
A. and M. game, to be played in Bir­mingham
on November 17, will be an­nounced
at the Tiger Theatre on these
dates.
Each matinee will be a triple attrac­tion,
namely: the receipts will go to­ward
the purchase of new band un-forms;
a regular moving picture will
be shown; the results of the game will
be heard.
SOMETHING NEW IN
AUTOMOBILE TAGS
Autos in 1929 will strut maroon
and white license plates. The 1929
tag will have maroon background and
white numerals. Following a sug­gestion
offered by State Auditor
White, the Mississippi automobile
tags will, beginning next year, con­form
to the colors of the various state
schools in order of their prominence.
Quite naturally,. Mississippi Agri­cultural
and Mechanical College gets
the honor of being first to have her
colors adopted.
This system will continue, it is un­derstood,
until each of the state in­stitutions
have been honored in its
turn.
Seeking to forestall the usual num­ber
of student failures occuring each
fall, President Knapp called the up­perclassmen
together in Langdon
Hall Thursday morning to make an
urgent appeal for the highest pos­sible
scholarship. Dr. Knapp pointed
out that upperclassmen should set an
example of studiousness for the mem­bers
of the Freshman class.
If the best college work is done, it
is the opinion of Dr. Knapp that stu­dents
should remain in their rooms
each evening, excepting those over
the week ends, to prepare their work
for the following day. He deplored
the practice among some students of
devoting their evenings to various
amusements to the neglect of their
studies.
President Knapp said that any stu­dent
carrying a normal load should
find it necessary at night to prepare
his recitations for the next day if the
members of the faculty were seeing
to it that sufficient assignments are
made. It was intimated by the Presi­dent
that faculty members would be
expected to demand enough work
from all. students that overnight prep­aration
would be necessary.
Dr. Knapp considers the ability to
study systematically when the time
comes a most excellent example of
selt-control. "Budget your time,"
he told the students, "and study when
your schedule demands it. The best
habit you can acquire in college is to
carry a full load of work and to ap­portion
your time intelligently to
both study and recreation."
At the conclusion of his talk, Dr.
Knapp exhorted the student body to
support the football team in the com­ing
game Saturday in Birmingham
with the University of Mississippi.
He was optimistic regarding the out­come
and invited the students to join
him in maintaining a sustained fight­ing
spirit that will soon bring victory
to Auburn's team.
President Knapp reminded the stu­dents
that each of them represented
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
when away from the campus and
urged them to conduct themselves so
as to reflect honor upon the institu­tion
at all times, and particularly
upon the occasions of football games
away from Auburn.

N. I. White, Ex-Auburn Professor,
Publishes Book of Negro Folk Songs
The Harvard University Press has
recently published a valume, "Ameri­can
Negro Folk Songs," by Newman
I. White, assistant professor of Eng­lish
at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
during the years of 1915 and
1916. At the close of the 1926 ses­sion
Professor White obtained a leave
of absence that he might study for
his Ph. D. degree at Harvard Univer­sity.
However, when he had received
this degree, instead of returning to
Auburn, he went to Duke University,
which he had attended when it went
by the name of Trinity College. He
is now professor of English at Duke
University.
In last Sunday's edition of the Bir­mingham
News there appeared a dis­cussion
of Dr. White's book, by G. W.
Mead, literary critic of that paper.
Mr. Mead's article ran as follows:
"In 1915, Professor White was a
member of the faculty at Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. Many old Au­burn
men will remember how eager
he seemed to be to have them bring
to him all the authentic negro songs
they heard in different parts of the
states from which they came. Some
were able to supply him with many
varying versions of widely-spread ne­gro
labor songs, or of spirituals un­touched
by the artist hands of trained
musicians who at times spoiled them
by attempting to regularize them.
Some were able to give him the musi­cal
notations of negro melodies heard
in labor camps and in cotton and corn
fields. But, being undergraduate stu­dents,
they did without curiosity what
their professor asked them to do, and
have perhaps long since forgotten

Bill Young Takes Up
Duties As Announcer
PLAINSMAN DEFENSE BREAKS
BEFORE WITHERING ATTACK
Ole Miss plays brilliant game to defeat Plainsmen 19 to 0.
Woodruff, G. and H. Walker star for Mississippi. Chappelle,
Callahan, play steady game for Auburn. Game marked by
many penalties on both sides. Ole Miss makes strongest attack
in second quarter. Auburn's line weak as Ole Miss makes ma­jority
of first downs by line plunges. At no time do Bohlermen
threaten to score, almost entire game being played in Auburn's
territory. Coach Bohler uses almost entire squad at various
positions. Ole Miss passing attack functions well. Auburn
weak in lateral passes. Jones, Auburn, makes 40 yard run.
W. A. (Bill) Young will leave for
Birmingham soon, where he will as­sume
the position of assistant an­nouncer
of the new WAPI. Awarding
of this position to Mr. Young came
as a direct result of his efficiency and |
popularity as announcer when the sta­tion
was located in Auburn. At that
time he received letters of commenda­tion
and approval from radio fans
throughout the South.
Mr. Young graduated in Agricul­ture
at Auburn with the class of '25,
and since then has been engaged in
Extension Service work here. Dur­ing
this time, however, he took an ac­tive
interest in the development of
Auburn's radio station, becoming an­nouncer
of WAPI in 1926. Young is
undoubtedly the best radio announcer
Auburn has had, and the college looks
with favor upon his recent appoint­ment.
MUCH INTEREST
IN TENNIS TEAM
Much interest is being displayed in
the organization of an Auburn tennis
team. Sixteen prospective members
will soon stage an elimination tourna­ment,
the matches to be played on the
"Y" tennis courts. From this num­ber
the six best men will be selected
and rated according to their abilities;
they will comprise the temporary
team.
After this selection is made, the
"round robbin" system will be fol­lowed,
by which a lower rating player
may challenge the next highest man

Solution of Vital Problem
How can I spend Sunday afternoon?
This is a question which is constantly be­fore
the student in the college located in
a small town, such as Auburn. The prob­lem
of providing some means of pastime
for students on week ends is peculiar to
the small-town college and is a source of
much trouble to the college. Of course
many men spend this time in worthwhile
pursuits such as reading. Others use it
as a period of relaxation and take long
tramps in the country. However, all men
are not made alike, and such pursuits do
not appeal to many students. Human na­ture
simply cannot be changed, and men
will seek recreation through some medium
which is attractive to them.
How, then, do the majority of Auburn
men spend the week end? Many of them
sit at the bridge table for hours. Others
waste valuable time in "bull-sessions"
which are always of negative value and
usually are positively harmful. However
the most harmful practice is chasing about
over East Alabama on the highways and
trains. Far too many Auburn men are
out "bumming" rides to and from Mont­gomery,
Columbus, Opelika and more re­mote
cities. Students' minds are distract­ed
from serious work for four or five days
by a two-day trip on a week-end. Class
work is neglected or even abandoned en­tirely.
^Catching rides on the highways
with any and everybody is running the risk
of being in a serious accident at any time.
The volume of traffic passing through Au­burn
makes it easy to get rides, and the
condition of the roads increases the lia­bility
of accidents.
The taxpayers of the state don't care to
support a winter pleasure resort, yet when
they meet Auburn students every week­end,
miles from the school on pleasure
jaunts they get the impression that we
aren't serious down here about getting
educated.
The men who come here to school aren't
naturally migratary. They don't leave
pleasant pursuits to spend uncomfortable,
week-ends in hotels, uncertain of transpor­tation,
usually almost . "broke." They
leave because they are afflicted with enui
—that most terrible disease. Boredom will
cause a man to endure many discomforts
for the sake of variety and amusement. _
The problem before the college is to pro­vide
some attraction for the men on week­ends.
The facts are unalterable, say what
we may, about what students should do.
What, then, can we do? In casting
about for a solution we are baffled. The
only ray of hope which we see is a high-class
educational movie on Sunday after­noon.
Immediately a host of rational ob­jections
arise; we realize that it would be
a radical departure from a precedent which
has gathered about it a powerful senti­ment;
we appreciate the drawbacks, but
look at it as choosing the lesser of two
evils. Weigh our suggestion carefully;
think of the crying need; try to find a
substitute, and you will share our feeling,
we believe.
Civic Progress Is Indicative
Of Auburn's Progress
Much has been said recently of the plans
for Greater Auburn under the new ad­ministration
and the progressive policies of
Dr. Knapp. This Renaissance has per­vaded
the city of Auburn itself if recent
developments are any indication of a for­ward
movement. Not only the college but
the entire vicinity is directly effected by
the new spirit that has evidenced itself.
The ^city of Auburn has undergone a
great change in the last two years. Re­cent
visitors and alumni who have been in
the village have noticed the new develop­ments
that have changed the business and
residential sections of the town.
The several parts of the college have
taken on new life and student activities
have asserted themselves with such force
that the life and activities of the campus
have been heightened to a degree that
heretofore was deemed impossible.
The new cafeteria located in Smith Hall
is growing in popularity weekly. Over six
hundred persons are being benefitted by
the economy and convenience of the new
eating place each day. The popularity of
the cafeteria has outgrown all expecta­tions.
Faculty members find the location
and the hours a great asset when unable
to go home for meals. The food and ser­vice
are all that could be asked for while
the inexpensiveness has proven one of the
most popular assets to needy students.
The Vitaphone, latest addition to the
Tiger Theatre offers patrons the last word
in scientific achievement and adds greatly
to the enjoyment of the performance. Au­burn
is probably the only town of its size
to enjoy the advantages of such auditory
equipment at low prices. The manage­ment
of the Auburn playhouse is to be
congratulated on this valuable feature.
The additional equipment that the Ideal
Laundry has recently installed has greatly
improved the type of work done and has
given students and townspeople better ser­vice.
The Plainsman commends Mr.
Young for these additions and trusts that
the students appreciate the new features
of the laundry.
With paved streets in the business and
residential sections of the city; a white
way; sidewalks and the completion of two
new churches Auburn offers unusual ad­vantages
which may serve as a criterion
for other enterprising communities in the
south.
graphs, finally reaching a very dramatic
climax with "Fellows, the band plays for
us at the games" and "Fellows, not so long
ago it wasn't that way," and other such
meangingless drivel as that. Ugh! One
feels as if someone had been shamelessly
brutal about something. If a student real­ly
has anything to say let him say it in a
frank and as forceful a way as possible.
Auburn students are not influenced by the
morals in Mother Goose Rhymes. They re­quire
that the idea be blasted over their
heads, that it be hurled point blank at
their noses.
If the Plainsman is really after accom­plishing
visible results through it's edi­torials,
they at least will have to command
attention. I do not believe in sensational
ballahooing or ruthless hounding, but there
is a chance to accomplish things that are
really worthwhile by clear, meaning and
forceful editorials.

P. S. And for God's sake don't call us
"Fellows."
WITH OTHER COLLEGES
i
The Cafeteria;
Beneficial to Students
Auburn has never been able to boast of
any especially good places in which one
could obtain a satisfactory dinner. How­ever,
the past year has seen a change,
so that now the cry "no place fit to eat"
is seldom heard. In fact, we don't see
how it can be heard at all in view of the
dining hall which is being conducted by
the college.
The establishment is conducted on the
cafeteria plan in that all who eat there
must wait on themselves to a greater or
lesser degree. The dining hours are such
that almost anyone can take his meals
there. Judging from the increased num­ber
eating there the service must be sat­isfactory.
The college is indeed fortunate in having
Miss Harris in charge of the cafeteria.
The large number who have been taking
meals there are a tribute to Miss Harris'
ability to prepare tempting dishes. Then
too, the fact that she is a Dietician helps
her to prepare foods that are the most
beneficial for the body. Due to Miss
Harris' efficiency the cafeteria is certain­ly
kept clean at all times. That is always
an attractive feature about any place
where food is eaten. Besides this everyone
seems to be pleased with the cheerful at­mosphere
of the cafeteria as well as the
splendid service rendered by those in
charge of the serving. So we say again
that the college is fortunate in having one
who so thoroughly undertsands her job, in
charge of the cafeteria.
The prices are moderate if not cheap
and this is made more attractive by the
fact that the ticket books which are sold
at the Accountant's Office are worth one
dollar when a new book is purchased. The
meal ticket plan is proving very popular
among those students who go out of town
every few days for the meals that are
missed are not paid for.
Auburn is fortunate in having a cafe­teria.
Good food, cheerful service, a clean'
dining hall, and considerate management
is as much as any one could wish for when
it comes to devouring food.
Letters to the Editor
Editor The Plainsman—
The October 7th edition of the Plains­man
carried an editorial or at least it was
on the editorial page, asking that Auburn
students support the band. That is all well
and good and above criticism. But the way
in which the writer went about getting
over his idea was awfully uncertain. One
would think that he had none.
The article began in a very uninteresting
way and wandered about for a few para-
Editor The Plainsman: '
Several students have asked who is this
Ivanhoe Silva and W. C. I regret that I
am unacquainted with W. G. But know
Ivan Silva as probably no one else on the
campus does. Ivan, a rather bashful chap,
has asked that I- answer this question for
him. Any cloud or misunderstanding as to
his identity or purpose is absolutely against
his wish.
Ivan is the twelfth and youngest son of
an Eskimo chieftain. He is a descendant
of a long and illustrious line of bi-ave and
carniverous seal eaters. His ancestral
igloo is a magnificent structure of icycles
and stucco. He is easily recognized by a
slight defect in his walk, due to the fact
that both his feet have seemingly been
amputated. This defect is because of an
unfortunate incident while teaching a class
of first grade children in Mongolia. Ivan
simply suggested that the pupils clean the
Christian's tripe, which they had in their
lunch, before they ate them. This sissy
and tea-houndish suggestion so enraged the
children that they gnawed away both his
feet. The wounds never healed and his
tracks are small spots of blood. To walk
is very painful to him at times. Now that
you recognize him, you might wonder
about the slight irregularity in his eyes.
This malady was inflicted upon him by a
group of missionaries when he doubted a
statement of theirs. His left eye often
drops out, only to be caught by the nerves,
and by manipulating the eye with his hand
he is able to see in all directions with ease.
The right eye stares upward continuously
and has a slight cast.
Of course Ivanhoe Silva is not his real
name, but it is MacDonaly Ivonavitch. Now
I know that you all feel stupid not to have
recognized him already. He also says that
he has no hope that his criticism will be ef­fective,
so back in with your neck, and
that he will not be disappointed when they
are not.
Thanks for the spin in your damned
little submarine.

Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The Sigma Nu reception Sunday after­noon
is quite deserving of mention. It
brought faculty and students together on
a fine social equality. It was a dignified,
interesting and very happy occasion. I
really hope others will accept the challenge
and throw open their houses on some such
an occasion.
* * * * *
The good work done on the Plainsman
gives us some hope that we might work up
to a daily,paper. The staff must remem­ber
that the quality of the work, its clean­ness,
readability, interest and newsiness
(if that word will pass) are prime factors.
I know it is hard work for the reporters
but I do hope they will be encouraged to
keep at it. Remember that the Plainsman
represents Auburn and that ought to mean
a whole lot. If the staff can keep it up
this year and do their work well new ar­rangements
may put the daily over for
next year. Yov who are interested in Au­burn
help make these men on the staff
feel that we appreciate their work. "Fif­teen
for the Plainsman and every fellow
on the Staff."
* * * * *
Tennis and golf are good sports and I
would like to see them added to our list.
All it would take would be a little work
of organization. Some of the students are
working along this line and I want to en­courage
them. Help them along. We
need plenty of physical exercise and these
would add to t h e opportunities for both
exercise and fine recreation.

Dean Funchess and his assistants are
working hard on the new Experiment Sta­tions.
m 'Two have been begun, one near
Athens and one on Sand Mountain. They
are striving to make these spots of beauty
as well as fine farms in order that the
letters A. P. I. may always stand for some­thing
useful and also attractive.
RECORD CROWD TURNS OUT TO SEE SLAUGHTER
For the third time in four years the Sophs beat the Frosh in the "Annual Rush"
at Northwestern. The features of this annual affair are football games, races of
all kinds, pole rushes, soccer, etc.
Auburn could profit by following such a course. Just think of the fellowship,
love of hard-honest-and earnest love of clean fighting that could accompany such
encounters. Class football alone is not sufficient for a student body like Auburn's.

AGAIN
Phi Beta Kappa spurned! Miss Alga Rubinow, student at the University of
Wisconsin, objected to the societies standards. Her note of refusal follows:
"Because I am opposed to any formal honor bestowed on the basis of high
grades. Which I do not consider a genuine criterion of true scholarship and intel­lectual
achievement, and which I believe is often conferred upon the unworthy as
well as the worthy, constantly excluding a large proportion of those worthy who do
not happen to excell in grades— I beg to decline election to the Phi Beta Kappa"
Sorority." Can't anything she had to say, apply to most honorary societies on this
campus?
Dixon Poole, a freshman at the University of North Carolina, acconfpanied by
two other students, entered the college apple orchard last Wednesday on a foraging
expedition. The negro guard of the orchard, who had been hidden behind a tree,
suddenly appeared before the boys and fired a load of No. 6 shot, two taking effect
in Poole's chest, others striking his face, and two hitting his eyeballs but glancing
off.

MIGHT BE BEST FOR BOTH
" A student of the University of North Carolina, during the College Humor straw
ballot on the presidential election, expressed the views of thousands of voters through­out
the nation, when, on his vote he wrote, "To hell with both of them!" It might
be interesting to note that in this same straw vote one ballot was cast for the So­cialist
candidate, Norman Thomas, while still another brought Cal Coolidge into the
fray.

YE EDITOR'S DELIGHT
The Editor of the Howard Crimson, student publication of Howard College,
Birmingham, received the following letter and answered it in a recent issue:
"My dearest Editor:
"Here are a few questions that have perplexed me during the past week,
please see if you can help me with them.
"If Howard College campus runs from Underwood Avenue to Rugby Avenue
how far does it walk? If the chapel seats the students does a campus seat the
trees? And could you tell me why the bulletin board the students so much last
week? Most affectionately, Sivad Y.
"Editor's Note: Perhaps when 'The Collegian' eats the 'College Cafe' the
'Bulldog Cleaners' will 'Barbecue and Eat Shoppe.' Otherwise, Sivad, you will
have to campus all of the 'sheiks' or 'Tucker' one of the two dates you had last
week."
THOUGHTFUL SERMONS
ABUNDANT LIFE
I am come that they might have life and
that they might have it more abundantly.
Jno. 10:10.
A writer who knows his subject has
given us a very detailed description of the
life of a tadpole. "Consider the tadpole,"
says he. He does not live, he only exists.
His world is a mud puddle. He knows
nothing beyond it. He wiggles with his
tail which is his only mode of travel. He
sees not, hears not, neither does he con­vey
any sound. His only concern with the
movements of the word history is that
some passing beast may step on him. He
cares not for your books and magazines.
He knows nothing of your world news, of
your congresses and legislatures, your
markets and business ventures." .. . ."Now,"
says your writer, "there are human tadpoles
all around us. They are existing in the
pollywog puddle, and they suppose that is
all there is in the world, and that they are
having a good time wiggling about in the
puddle. Life to them has no motive except
to wiggle and hope the puddle will not go
dry."
That is well said, except that it is not
enough. For if all the truth be told, not on­ly
are there human tadpoles all around us,
but the vast majority of the race are in
the tadpole puddle. They do not live. They
merely t-a-d-p-o-l-e. And it was because
this world of mankind though having a
name to live, merely existed, that Jesus
came into the world. "I am come," says
He, "not that man might exist; but that
he might live, and that he might live abun­dantly."
He standeth among us as one that
serveth. The cup of life is in His hands.
The cup runneth over. Surely, goodness
and mercy shall follow us, all the days of
our eternal life, if we will but drink of this.
cup.
"Abundantly!" How characteristic of Je­sus!
Nothing small about him, nothing lit­tle,
nothing onesided, nothing done in halv­es.
Consider the roundedness of His char­acter
and the fullness of His life!
And what He is, He freely offers us:
Abundant life. A life, first of all, abun­dant
in light. "I am the light of the world,"
says He, and again, "Ye are the light of
the world."
Light is a thing of beauty. Witness, the
sunset, the rainbow, the blush of the rose,
the sparkle of the dew-drop, the flash of
the diamond. Lightless beauty? Never.
There is none. Wherever • and whenever
Christ has been admitted into a heart or a
life, beauty has shone out. Think of the
most beautiful life and the most beautiful
character that you have ever known. Trace
it to its source. Who is its inspiration, if
not Christ? Life abundant in light and
beauty.
Light is a thing of cheer. Dispel the
darkness and chase away the gloom. When
the windows of a man's soul are opened
wide, and the abundant Light comes in, out
goes unhappiness, fretfulness and grouch-iness.
Jesus says, "These things have I told you,
that your joy might be full." There is no
joy that is full, except the joy that Jesus
gives. The joy that He gives is a joy that
will abide. "Neither is it followed by a
morning of headache or a night of weeping.
A Christian is a joyful person. A Christ­ian
should be ashamed of himself if he is
unhappy. Let the blessed sunshine in!
Christ is the silver lining for every cloud,
that lowers o'er the Christian's head.
Light is a thing of power. Scientists tell
us that all known power is derived from the
sun. And so when a man really comes in
contact with the power rays of the Almighty
he becomes mighty. Examine the pages of
history for those who have chiseled their
names deep in the marble of forever, and
you will find that most of them had a power
line, which was none other than "Christ,
the power of God." Gladstone said that of
the 32 great men that had been his con­temporaries,
30 of them were humble fol­lowers
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lives of
abundant power. All of us have reserves
of surplus power that we can never com­mand
for use. But there is an Engineer
who can show us how. If we will turn
our power plant over to Him.
Light is also the symbol of knowledge,
and of liberty. "Ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free." "I am
the Way, the Truth, and the life; no man
cometh unto the Father but by Me."
But the abundant life that Jesus came to
give is abundant in Love as well as in
Light. What is God? That question was
asked and went unanswered through the
milleniums until Jesus came and lived and
died on this earth, and then one of His Dis­ciples,
having seen his life and death, was
inspired to give this answer, "God is Love."
Simplicity itself, and yet the most profound
words that man ever uttered or listened to.
In one short simple sentence we have the
essence of God, and an impression of the
life of Jesus.
Never was there a heart that beat for
humanity as did This. So hard until it
literally burst. True of him, if not so of
Caesar 'Then burst His mighty heart.' And
the fullness of life that Christ gives to
those who take Him and take Him serious­ly,
is a fullness of Love. Like Him, their
hearts became flooded with this greatest
thing in the universe; Love, that ascends to
the throne of God, and calls Him Father;
Love which winds and finds its way amid
the tangled skein of human life, and loves,
and lives toward all fellow men as brothers.
He went about doing good. The Abun­dant
Life—Anyone can have it. Few do.
Most of us choose rather to eke out a mere
existence. Simply, because we are not wil­ling
to pay the price. The price can be no
other than complete surrender to God, as
we know Him in Christ Jesus. The Abun­dant
Life—A thousand times worth its
price!
MEDITATIONS
ON THIS AND THAT
•3? 'Benjamin Trovost—
EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions ex­pressed
in this column are not necessarily
the editorial opinions of this paper. It is
a column of personal comment, and is not
to be read as an expression of our edi­torial
policy.
* * * * *
ALETTER which is a model of beau­tiful
English, irrefutable logic, and
is pregnant with sound advice was
printed on the editorial page of the Thurs­day
Plainsman. The author, Max Kahn, an
ex-student of this school proceeds to insin­uate
that I have prevaricated in saying that
rowdyism on football trips gives outsiders
a bad impression of Auburn. He also says
that Ivanhoe Silva, who has made the same
criticism, is equally untruthful. Now is
that nice? Especially when Mr. Kahn ut­terly
fails to defend his thesis with sound
proof. He cites a couple of incidents which
took place several years ago, giving out­siders'
opinions of our fine spirit at that
time. Of course that was good spirit, but
so was the enthusiasm which the student
body displayed at the Georgia game in 1895
good spirit. Down here we are discussing
present conditions, Mr. Kahn. When the
President of the school receives letters com­plaining
of student rowdyism then I am
convinced that there is something wrong.
MR. KAHN applied the term uncouth
to one of our correspondents. Tak­ing
for granted that he knows what
the word means, we suppose that he is refer­ring
to some profanity which Sylvia used.
Later in his letter Mr. Kahn uses the words,
"damn the man that doubts it." Now what
is the old saw about the pot applying epi­thets
to the kettle? There are several other
bright points in the letter. For instance
Mr. Kahn says during his stay here he
wrote several articles for the Plainsman,
some of them "incognito" because he "could
not afford to be shipped from dear old A.
P. I." Now just what could he have writ­ten
for the good of the school that he
couldn't sign for fear of dismissal? Naugh­ty,
naughty!
* * * * *
Our learned correspondent then "de­ducts"
that all our rowdyism is a result of
a laxity in hazing. What a detective he
is! Now, of all times, when Auburn is ready
to advance, when the President has said
that hazing is detrimental to progress,
when it is being abandoned in the South
and has been forgotten in the more civ­ilized
portions of the globe, does this
genius glibly tell us that we should resur­rect
an outworn and inestimably harmful
practice. What a logician we lost when
he left the campus to conquer the world!
* * * * *
IT HAS BEEN and will continue to be
the policy of this column to exert some
effort toward making Auburn a better
school by advocating various reforms which
from time to time may seem desirable. Au­burn
stands at the threshold of an oppor­tunity
to become the M. I. T. of the South,
and to take advantage of this opportunity
we must improve many present conditions.
A pollyana attitude will get us nowhere.
However, I am advised almost every day to
say only "nice" things about the school. I
am advised to tell the whole truth not at
all and the truth only at times. This liter­ary
gem of Mr. Max Kahn is the latest
contribution proposing to tell us how to do
things. "If you can't say something good
about Auburn, leave her alone"—isn't that
typical? As if the faults would come out in
the open, lie down on the floor and ask to
be swept out!
THE PLAINSMAN blossoms forth this
issue with a society and feature page.
Hardly a week passes now that we
don't see some improvement in the paper.
Already it is ranked by leading critics
among the best college publications in the
South. Step by step we are approaching
the daily school paper for Auburn by im­proving
The Ptainsmun and adding features
to it.
UNDER THE HARVEST MOON
Under the harvest moon,
When the soft silver
Drips shimmering
Over the garden nights,
Death, the gray mocker
Comes and whispers to you
As a beautiful friend
Who remembers
Under the summer roses,
When the flagrant crimson
Lurks in the dusk
Of the wold red leaves,
Love, with little hands ,
Comes and touches you
With a thousand memories,
And asks you
Beautiful unanswerable questions.

people's training school here, from 5
to 7 each evening. The hours were
divided into two study periods, lunch
being served between periods.
The school was in charge of Mr. E.
E. Lee, B. Y. P. U. field secretary of
the Southern Baptist Convention . He
travels over eighteen Southern States,
teaching Baptist young people to car­ry
on the work of the church. Under
Mr. Lee were: R. Elton Johnson,

United Daughters of the Confed­eracy
entertained at a most enjoyable
party at the home of the Misses Bur­ton
Wednesday night. The colors of
the organization were effectively car­ried
out in the decorations, beautiful
red dahlias and white cosmos being
placed at intervals in the reception
rooms. v
.Punch was served during the even­ing
by Mrs. Clara Yarbrough, Mrs.
Jolly, and Mrs. Basore. The meeting
was presided over very graciously by
Mrs. P. P. Powell, new president of
the Auburn chapter of U. D. C.
A most interesting program was
rendered. Mr. Smith, accompanied by
Mrs. Creel on the guitar, sang
"Swanee River." Miss Drake, histor­ian,
read a poem she composed, "The
Land That Yancey Loved." Dr. Pet-rie,
main speaker of the evening, gave
a discourse on Yancey, discussing
many famous letters written by him.
A quartette, composed of Mr. Langs-ton,
Mr. Roe, Mr. Pope, and Dr. Don-ner
closed the program with the beau­tiful
song, "My South," written by
Miss Drake.
Delicious refreshments, carrying
out the color scheme, were served at
the conclusion of the program.

Polytechnic Institute have be­come
county home agents. They are
Miss Gladys Copeland, Sumter Coun­ty;
Miss Cynthia Lester, Conecuh

Coffee County.
Announcement of the appoint­ments
was made by Miss Helen
Johnston, State chairman of home
demonstration work, who said that
Miss Lester and Miss Nale gradu­ated
at Auburn at the end of the
summer school, 1928. Miss Nale had
been home demonstration agent be­fore
graduation. Miss Hughes grad­uated
in 1927, and Miss Copeland in
1923.
With these new appointments 40
of the 57 counties of Ala. now have
home demonstration agents, 34 of
which are Alabama women and 13 of
which have degrees from Auburn.
A1J have graduated since the home
economics department was establish­ed
eight years ago.
Miss Johnston said that it is the
policy of the Extension Service of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute to
employ Alabama women provided
they are properly trained.
With a steady increase in the en­rollment
of coeds the number of grad­uates
in home economics increases.

OF NEGRO FOLK SONGS

what they did for him, or why they
did it.
"In two years at Auburn, Profes­sor
White collected about 400 such
songs in part or complete form. We
wonder whether J. W. Persons recalled
reporting to Prof. White the stanza:
'It takes a dark-skinned baby
To make a preacher throw his Bible
down.
It takes a long, lean, lanky gal
To make a rabbit fight a hound.'
"Or whether C. A. Ashcraft remem­bers
the sawmill and fertilizer mill
negro songs which he carefully
brought in. Or, the large collection
of C. C. Certain from Jackson, Miss.
Or Williamson from Lowndes Coun­ty,
or W .S. Black from Athens, R.
R. Beard contributed from Baldwin
and Mobile Counties. B. Y. Penning­ton
brought in what he heard in An­dalusia.
E. D. Bartlett, S. R. Huey,
D. G. Barnes, J. 0. Lisenby, and a
host of others whose names would fill
a column. The contributed, and prob­ably
forgot all about it.
"Such is scholarship. Maybe they
wondered whether the professor ever
got any goood out of it at all, and went
on their way philosophizing about
these odd folk who are college pro­fessors.
"Dr. White is now- professor in the
faculty of Duke University and in
the years since his residence in Ala­bama
he has doubled his collection of
negro folk songs, until now the Har­vard
University Press produces them
in a large and handsome volume, some
800 of them in all, gathered from va­rious
sources, annotated with the dif­ferent
versions heard in different lo­calities,
and edited with notes which
make the collection one of the most
important contributions to the native
folklore of America which has ever
appeared.
"The songs which his Auburn boys
collected for him, and the others which
he has added, Prof. White has collect­ed
under such divisions as 'Religious
Songs,' 'Songs About Animals,' 'Gang
Labor Songs,' 'Rural Labor Songs,'
'Songs About Women' (of which Mr.
Persons contributed above in a small
sample), songs showing race-con-

sciousness, blues, songs about recent
events, etc. Every side of the ne­gro's
native and untrained song life
is represented.
"Mr. White goes further than mere­ly
the recording of the songs collect­ed.
'He has been for years a deep
student of the song life of the South­ern
American negro, and in many in­stances
traces the influences of for
mal songs and hymns which have de
generated into folk songs, and in the
contrary direction some of the original
rude songs of the negro which have
been taken up into regular recogniz
ed musical channels and made into
formal music.
"There are specimen tunes in an ap
pendix, showing the negro folk songs
in its three main divisions, the relig­ious
son, the work song, and the so
cial song. The musical notation is
taken down directly from the negro
singer in each instance.
"Dr. White's original intention, of
course, is a piece of constructive
scholarship in the field of American
folklore, not the writing of a popu
lar book. But everyone who is in­terested
in the singing negro, and
everyone who in even a small way con
tributed to the success of Dr. White'i
Auburn collection, will be glad to know
that he has done such a magnificant
job.
"His sound scholarship, is shown in
the introductory and explanatory
notes, and in the extensive boblio-graphy,
which he appends on the whole
field of negro folk song. The biblio
graphy includes nearly 200 titles of
books on the subject.
"The volume is a uniquely interest­ing
addition to a useful field of learn­ing."

Auburn Citizen Wins Prize
John L. Grace, of Auburn, won
first prize in the corn exhibit at the
Opelika Fair last week. The breed
that won this prize was "Grace's
favorite."
Mr. Grace is an expert corn breed­er
of eight years experience. This
is not by any manner of means the
first acknowledgement that has been
made of his unusual skill, for several
years ago his corn won first prize
over that displayed by the leading
corn producers of Walker County, his
native home.
Prize winning seems to run in Mr.
Grace's family, for recently fiis
daughter, Miss Meta Elizabeth Grace,
was awarded first honors for canned
goods in the Montgomery County and
the State Fairs.

MUCH INTEREST
IN TENNIS TEAM
(Continued from page 1)
on the team for his place. Any man
desiring to do so may challenge the
lowest rated player, and if success­ful
may achieve a place on the team.
Many freshmen have signed for
tennis and are taking it as an alter­native
for physical training. Any
freshman is granted this privilege,
and many are taking an active inter­est
in the team. There is an abun­dance
of good material and in the
near future tennis is expected to take
a prominent place in the field of
sports on this campus.
There is considerable protest
against the compulsory R. O. T. C,
and colleges boasting voluntary mili­tary
courses are having serious trouble
according to the testimony of Major
General Charles P. Summerall and
several college presidents presented to
the Military Appropriations Commit­tee
at the last hearing. A pamphlet
released today by the Committee on
Militarism in Education, New York
City, quotes the Chief of Staff as say­ing:
"We feel that a proper uniform
will go further than any one other
thing toward popularizing the R. O.
T. C," and. "The principal concern
during the past year in the Reserve
Officers' Training Corps has been in
connection with the uniform. Up to
last year we had given commutation
of uniforms to some institutions,
though not to all, of $30. To others
we gave an allowance of $7.15. Last
year that $30 commutation was
abolished and all schools were given
$7.15.
"This has created a great deal of
discontent and criticism. In some
places it has threatened the mainten­ance
of the strength of units."
Major General Summerall says
that where the course is compulsory
they can compel the students to wear
the service uniform, but where the
course is elective as in the last two
years "we have had a great deal of
trouble."
Captain Charles C. Quigley who
presented the R. O. T. C. estimates
to Congress, said, "They are having
a very difficult time to continue the
R. O. T. C. in a great many institu­tions
under the present uniform stan­dard."
"There is a great amount of
dissatisfaction among the student
body." "A number of heads of insti­tutions
have made trips to Washing­ton
to interview the Secretary of War
on this matter, and they are emphatic
in their insistence that there must
be some remedy for this condition."
According to the Committee on
Militarism in Education the public is
aroused by these arguments of the
Army Chief and the College Presi­dents
to know why uniforms that were
good enough for doughboys to die in
are not good enough for college men
to drill in- There is also a suspicion
that the custom of having honorary
girl officers for R. O. T. C. units may
be one big incentive for finer uni­forms.
The committee says the public
would also like to know just what
value there is to the tax payers who
supply the uniforms, in a military
training that must be sold to recruits
by such means. Do these well dress­ed
soldiers add to our national de­fense
or are they just "parading sol­diers?"
