IS MODERN THROUGHOUT
Plans Also Being Drawn For
Other Structures
Contract has been awarded and
work will start immediately on the
construction of the new chemistry
building here. Announcement of this
was made by President Bradford
Knapp upon his return from Birming­ham,
where the contract was let to
the Frost Construction Company, of
Montgomery. The bid of this com­pany
was $224,975. The building is
to be completed by January 1. It
will be located on an axis beginning
midway between the Broun Engineer­ing
Hall and Ramsay Engineering
Hall and running directly south. The
exact spot on this axis is at the north
edge of the old drill field. It will
face both north and south'.
The building will be modern
throughout, being designed especially
for the purposes for which it will be
used. Dr. B. B. Ross, dean of chem­istry,
and architects visited several
institutions studying chemistry build­ings,
and their information collected
on these trips was incorporated into
the plans for this building.
Some time in May the contract will
be let for the construction of a new
dairy and animal husbandry building
on the agricultural campus near the
present frame building used for dairy
and animal husbandry purposes. It
will be on an axis directly south of
the chemistry building. The building
will cost approximately $125,000.
The new auditorium, for which
plans are being drawn, will be lo­cated
on the same axis, near the
Practice House. Contract for this
building is to be let by early sum­mer.
It will cost approximately
$250,000.
Dr. Knapp announced also that
plans are being drawn for the textile
building which will be located west
of Ramsay Engineering Hall, and will
t
face Magnolia Street. Contract will
be let for this building as soon as
plans are completed and approved. It
is to cost approximately $100,000.
This building program was made
possible by the unified education bill
passed by the last legislature of Ala­bama
upon recommendation of Gov­ernor
Bibb Graves. It will be the
biggest building program in the his­tory
of Auburn. Other buildings will
be added later as funds permit.
Dr. Knapp was enthusiastic about
the outlook. He declared that it is in
reality a "Greater Auburn"; and it
means not only enlarged facilities
but also an enlarged student body.
Eta Kappa Nu, national honorary
| fraternity for Electrical Engineres,
j held its second initiation of the year
'last Monday night, April 15. Eleven
new men were initiated into this fra-
J ternity.
"Last call for Elec. Mag." was
being given by the new town crier in
the impersonation of J. J. O'Rourke.
J. K. Smith acted as official guards­man
of the Post Office for the occa­sion
and stopped many a love-sick
boy as he hurried there to get his
long awaited letter.
A new football man has been dis­covered
in the student body. O. W.
Bynum, standing on top of the main
gate, directed a well-trained imagin­ary
football team to a glorious vic­tory
on Toomer's corner. No opposi­tion
was found for this team but
Doug Baird who is the new official
sock knitter of the campus. Already
he has received several orders for
special Baird-made socks.
With Grady Moseley as traffic cop,
J. D. Neely and C. E. Meyer furnish­ing
music, Arturo Nieto singing
Spanish love songs to all passersby,
little William Keister trying to pull
a three horse-power motor, L. E.
Owen desiring to make dates with
every co-ed in sight, and Thorn e Win­ter
attempting to sell a setting hen to
all people entering the Tiger Theater
the village of the plains was all in a
turmoil.
After tiring of these tasks the ini­tiates
serenaded the Zoo. After this
they were carried off by the old mem­bers
of Eta Kappa Nu to parts un­known
and then, and then—and
then—! Well anyway two days later
they were all duly initiated members
of Eta Kappa Nu.
The following men were initiated:
J. D. Neely, Montgomery; Arturo
Nieto, Celaya, Mexico; Lucien Owen,
Florence; Cletus Meyer, Mobile; J.
K. Sr".ith, Eutaw; Douglas Baird,
Phenix City; H. Grady. Mosely, Pen-sacola,
Florida; William Keister,
Montgomery; John J. O'Ruorke,
Selma; William O. Bynum, Troy; and
Thorne Winter, Mobile.
Lovvorn, Gray Serve On
Alabama Farmer Staff
At a meeting Thursday night, the
Auburn company of Scabbard and
Blade elected Virginius L. Taylor to
serve as captain next year. Taylor is
from Mobile, and is taking Civil En­gineering.
He is president of the
Auburn chapters of the A. S. C. E.
and S. A. M. E.; he is a member of
the Beta Theta Pi social fraternity.
Other officers elected are J. K.
Smith, Jr., first lieutenant; Lee
Sledge, second lieutenant; and W. W.
Bryant, Jr., first sergeant. Taylor,
Smith and Bryant are in the En­gineer
battalion and Sledge is taking
the Field Artillery course; this is
the first year that the Engineer
Corps has had a majority of'the of­ficers.
Scabbard and Blade will honor the
inspecting officers' of the Fourth
Corps Area with a banquet.on Fri­day,
April 26; at this affair the new
officers will be installed. As Cap­tain
Lietch, who has been advisor for
the company, is leaving Auburn at
the end of this year, Lieutenant
Townsley has been selected to fill the
post of advisor. He will also be in­stalled
at the banquet.
Scabbard and Blade has been very
active this year; it has featured in all
reviews and social activities. The
prospects for the activeness of the
company next year are said to be
excellent.

Two Big Innings Decide Game
For Tech Rats
Roy Mundorff's Baby Yellow Jack­ets
from Georgia Tech won the first
of the two-game series with the Au­burn
frosh Friday afternoon, 7 to 4.
The Atlanta lads had two big in­nings,
the fifth and seventh, when
they scored a trio of runs in each.
Two successive squeeze plays ac­counted
for their three runs in the
fifth frame.
Tech annexed one counter in the
stanza, but the Tiger Cubs went into
the lead their third time at bat when
they solved Mitchon's delivery for
three bingles and three runs. A home
run by Harry Lloyd in the seventh
was the final tally for the Orange
and Blue rats.
Lloyd, Auburn first sacker, led the
hickory wielders of the afternoon with
a perfect day. He banged out two
singles and a home run in three tries.
English and Farmer were the of­fensive
stars for the winners.

America; the date of the affair is
Friday, May 3. Ten counties com­pose
the council, and all troops in
the area are expected to be represent­ed.
An inspection and parade of the
scouts, a lunch for the scouts and the
Council officers, numerous scouting
events, and an oratorical contest will
feature the Jamboree.
The events, the winners of which
will receive points, will be as follows:
inspection, first aid, tower building,
O'Grady drill, fire by friction, arch­ery,
wall scaling, signalling,, and
handicraft and scoutcraft. The troop
securing the most points in these
events will receive a large cup; a
small cup will be awarded the second
place winners, and an American flag
to the troop winning third place.
Prizes will also be awarded to the
winners of the above mentioned
events. Dr. Bradford Knapp, who
is much in favor of scouting activi­ties,
will present the prizes.
The oratorical contest will be held
in the "Y Hut;" the subjects will be
on scouting, and should prove to be
very interesting. The winner will re­ceive
a ten dollar gold piece. Any
registered scout in the Council may
enter the contest; only registered ac­tive
scouts may participate in the
Council aetivities. The public is in­vited
to attend the Jamboree.

There are 58 chapters of Tau Beta
Pi throughout the foremost engineer­ing
schools in the country; it is na­tionally
recognized as the leading en­gineering
honor society. The purpose
is "to mark in a fitting manner
those who have conferred honor upon
their Alma Mater by a high grade of
scholarship as undergraduates, or by
their attainments as alumni; and to
foster a spirit of liberal culture in the
engineering schools of America.

I sincerely thank you for your ex­pression
of confidence and regard in
the recent class election. My refusal
was not due to the fact that I failed
to recognize the high honor you paid
me—the highest honor you have to
offer—but that I should not have
sufficient time to devote to The
Plainsman to warrant my assuming
charge of it. I assure you that I
recognize the worth of your regard,
and that it is indeed appreciated.
Very sincerely,

College for Women, Montevallo, on
the morning of May 27, and go to
Roanoke that night.
The Auburn chapter of the Ameri­can
Institute of Electrical Engineers
elected officers for the coming year
at their regular weekly meeting
Thursday night.
Thorne S. Winter, '30 was chosen
chairman of the group, L. E. Owen,
'30, vice-chairman, O. T. Allen, '30,
secretary, and G. A. Beavers, '31,
Auburn Engineer reporter.
Winter was also elected to the
board of control of the Auburn En­gineer;
Owen was also chosen to be
a vice-president of the newly organiz­ed
Engineer's Club, each engineering
society on the campus having a vice-president.
The members were urged to sup­port
the Constitution which was
adopted by the student body yester­day.
Climaxing the most colorful and
enthusiastic campaign ever waged on
the Auburn campus, the supporters of
the proposed student association
swept over the oposition to ratify
the constitution and regulations by
an overwhelming majority of seventy-one
percent of the votes cast. The
polls were opened Friday, imme­diately
after a special convocation, at
which the students voted almost un­animously
to conduct the vote on that
day, and remained open until four
P. M..
On Thursday night hundreds of stu­dents
thronged College Street, all
taking an active part in the feverish
political campaign, the first sem­blance
of open student politics at Au­burn.
Drug stores were packed with
students. Others clutsered about the
many argurers for and against the
constitution. Never before has any
like project aroused such high in­terest
in the entire student body.
Thursday night, however, did not con­clude
the politics, for throughout Fri­day
every group of students on the
streets and campus openily voiced
opinions of the association.
That the student association would
become a reality was assured by the
fact that there was no well organized
opposition. Stump speakers for the
affirmative seemed almost in every
case to have the approbation of the
majority of listeners.
Eight hundred and seven students
voted. This is an average of two hun­dred
per class, which number ex­ceeds
the total of votes cast by the
sophomore or junior classes in their
recent election of officers for the
coming year.
The committee composed of rep­resentatives
of the opposing and the
supporting parties on counting the
votes, submitted the following report
to Dr. Knapp: I
For acceptance of the proposed
constitution: 574; Votes rejection of

To Succeed Tim M. Gowder
tension Work
Ex-
W. H. Gregory, of Florence, Ala­bama,
has been appointed assistant
agricultural engineer for the exten­sion
service of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute. Announcement of his
appointment was made by Prof. L.
N. Duncan, director. He succeeds
Tim M. .Gowder who resigned to be­come
county agent in Jackson Coun­ty.
Gregory graduated at Auburn with
the class of 1928. For several months
immediately after graduation he
worked on a farm in Marion County,
after which he became asistant in cot­ton
marketing investigation work
being done by the experiment station
at Auburn.
The annual meeting of the Ameri­can
Association of University of
Women took place at Auburn, Wed­nesday,
April 17. Miss Zoe Dobbs,
dean of women and social director
at Auburn, presided in the absence
of Mrs. S. L. Toomer, president of
the local branch.
The principal speaker was Dr.
Louis Hayden Meek, educational sec­retary
of the American Association
of University of Women, who talked
in the afternoon to the assembly
about the million dollar fellowship
fund which has been established for
the aiding of women doing graduate
research in many fields.
Wednesday evening in Langdon
Hall, Dr. Meek spoke before an au­dience
of townspeople, students, and
members of the association, explain­ing
recent tendencies in the field of
education. It is Dr. Meek's belief
that the secret of success in educa­tion
hinges upon the complete co­operation
of the parent and the teach­er.
She pointed out that most of
the child's habits were formed during
the earlier years before it attends
school.
Dr. Meek said that the greatest year
of learning in a child's life is the
first, and she believes that ultimate­ly
the child will start to school much
earlier than it does at the present
time.

cial. If it is a failure the organization will
be injurious. Only when the organization
has been put into operation and subjected
to test can it be said whether injury or
benefit will result. Until then the clearly
defined duty of the student body is to sup­port
the association it has brought into
existence.
Evidently the student body has taken
into consideration the points brought out
above, else the adoption of the constitution
would not have been possible. That the
constitution has been adopted is evidence
of the approval of the student body. It
proves the realization of the need for a
comprehensive student organization. It is
indicative of the willingness of the student
body to try a reasonable scheme of or­ganization,
and to support the organiza­tion
during its trial. In other words, it is
evidence of the broadmindedness and pro-gressiveness
of the Auburn student body.
By displaying such progresiveness in
adopting this constitution the student body
has with one gesture raised Auburn to the
level of other great schools of the country.
Organizations of similar nature have been
in existence at other schools for a suffici­ent
length of time to permit of the most
rigid of tests. Under test the organiza­tions
have been successful, and they have
become recognized as necessary to the wel­fare
of the schools. The Auburn student
body is to be congratulated on its awaken­ing
to the realization of this necessity at
Auburn, and for the straightforward meth­od
adopted in meeting this necessity.

this is a step in advance. I am sorry if
anyone had the idea that there was un­fairness

matter. Let me remind you to read the
history of the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States. It was hard to satisfy
the different elements regarding the basis
of representation and other matters. After
it was put in operation and was wisely and
carefully administered, it became recog­nized
as a great piece of constructive legis­lation,
so fundamental in character that
it has stood the attacks of more than a
century. The task now before the student
body is the wise and careful administration

The New Constitution Assures
A Unified Student Body
The adoption of the much discussed con­stitution
of the Associated Undergraduate
Students of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
is no longer an eventuality; it is an
actuality, a very conspicuous actuality.
Progressiveness, the sturdy progressiveness
of Auburn students, as it rightfully should,
has dominated the situation and given to
Auburn the most tangibly beneficial stu­dent
organization existing on the campus.
The student body deserves the most sincere
of congratulations for this rally to the
standard of progress in their desire to
help make of Auburn a greater Auburn.
Indisputably there is crying need at Au­burn
for unification of the student body.
There is need for adequate supervision of
student activities. Evils exist at Auburn
which should be done away with in the in­terest
of honesty and fair play. Coopera­tion
between student activities is conspicu­ously
lacking. Coordination of effort
among the students does not exist. Politics
play too great a part in the conduct of
student activities. These things are
wrong; they are evidence of the disinte­gration
of democracy at Auburn.
Only by unification of the student body
can these wrongs be righted. The student
body is cognizant- of this fact, and has
taken the only logical step toward bring­ing
about unification and the correction of
existing evils. This step is the adoption of
the constitution of The Associated Under­graduate
Students of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute.
Unification of the student body can be
accomplished in only one manner: The con­ception
of an adequate plan of organiza­tion
and the putting of that plan into op­eration.
The plan may not be perfect, but
perfection on first attempt is too much to
be expected. The plan is not offered as
a perfect solution to all of the problems
confronting the student body. It is offered
as a beginning, as the foundation structure
of an efficient and perfect organization
which will grow from the seeds sown by the
adoption of the plan. When the plan has
been converted into a living entity by exe­cution
of the constitutional provisions for
putting it into practice, any defects will
become recognizable. Until then the logi­cal
assumption is that the plan will suc­ceed
if the new organization is given the
whole hearted support of the student body.
The constitution must be considered as
a whole, not as a confused agglomeration
of words and phrases designed to affect
certain students and not others. Consid­ered
as a whole the constitution resolves
itself into a document designed to secure
unification of the student body and com­prehensive
supervision of student activi­ties.
Faulty parts of the constitution may
be amended. Such amendment will not
change the fundamental structure and de­sign
of the document, but will simply add
to the practicability of the organization.'
Only in view of the above facts can the
new organization be examined as to its
potential benefit or injury to the interests
of the student body. If the organization is
successful it will without doubt be benefi-

works broadly and in the interest of'all
students and of the Institution as a whole,
it will be a great step. May we not all
join together to that end.
The cardinal sin of youth is lack of con­sideration
and mature judgment. I have
seen rank injustice, such short sighted
decisions among students that I marvel
at times. They are as often unjust, un­kind
and even brutal to others of their
number as is possible to imagine that they
are loyal, steadfast and true to their [
friendships. The irony and cruelty of
their decisions,often changes the course of
their victim's life. The ability to judge
youth fairly, considerately, with discrimina­tion,
is rare among even grown men much
less among young men themselves.
Productive Faculty
Is Sign Of Progress
The news that Dr. Harkin, of the depart­ment
of Mathematics, has published, in the
American Journal of Mathematics, an
article on "The Abstract identity of Modu­lar
Systems and Ideals" is of interest.
We are always glad to see the names-of
Auburn faculty members out before the
world. It is an indication that our in­structors
are engaged in original investiga­tion
and research, a sure sign of a good
faculty.
MR. HOOVER ON COLLEGE TRAINING
Mr. Hoover, too, has written something
for publication. He hasn't written as much
as Mr. Coolidge has done lately, and we
don't suppose he received the high rate per
word that the former President is reported
to have received. But anyway, the Presi­dent
has written a brief article for The
Yale Daily News on "The Need for Col­lege
Graduates in National and State Poli­tics."
It is one of a series being written
by outstanding- American political leaders
for the college daily.
President Hoover's article follows:
"The need for college graduates in State
and National politics is simply the need for
trained minds and formed characters that
exists in all departments of modern life.
The increasingly complex structure of so­ciety-
requires more and more of the tech­nical
skill and of the cultural background
that the colleges undertake to provide. As
politics is but one aspect of the social or­der,
its need of men of special educational
equipment is as obvious as this need is now
in business or the professions."
Mr. Hoover certainly hasn't contributed
anything new to the thought on this sub­ject,
but then, no one would expect him to
utter a gem of wisdom when discussing
a thing so obvious. His words, however,
coming from the President of the United
States, are to be considered more impor­tant
than if an ordinary individual had
written them, and most people will read
them with somewhat more interest.
The only comment we wish to make on
his article is that it shows too plainly the
ear-marks of having been hastily written.
The last of his three sentences reads as if
he were hurrying to get to the final period
and didn't care much how he got there.
One suspects that Mr. Hoover did not want
to write the article at all.
" L i t t l e T h i n g s"
By Tom Bigbee
It was extremely interesting to watch
the students casting ballots on the proposed
Undergraduate Association Friday. It will
be still far more interesting to note the re­sults
of this voting.
Sound reasoning indicates that there un­doubtedly
must be something vital and
extremely beneficial to the student body
as a whole in this matter; else why should
such a broad and considerate man as Dr.
Knapp be so enthusiastically for it?
In addition, every faculty member ' I
have heard express his opinion in this con­nection
is for it. But still, as is erroneous­ly
regarded in the affirmative, the faculty
has had no hand in drawing up the consti­tution.
Quite a number of the students here neg­lected
to cast a vote either way—which
was indeed a vital privilege disregarded.
But some who did vote without a clear-cut
understanding of the matter were wise
enough to let their confidence in Dr. Knapp
and his endorsement of the plan influence
their votes in the affirmative.
It doesn't take a wizard or sage to detect
the worthwhileness of this Constitution as
a whole. Why individuals should let minor
points sway them to a negative vote is a
mystery; perhaps only a human failing.
Then there were those who cast votes
nonchalantly. My conviction is that votes
should be cast with seriousness, especially
on such a serious matter as this.
A minority of the members of certain
campus organizations fought the plan furi­ously—
which was their personal right. But
the entire organization should not be cre­dited
with the motive of these individual
members.
The opposing minority leaders have ex­pressed
their satisfaction as to the counting
of votes, etc., and have said they will back
the Executive Cabinet one-hundred per
cent. Such fairness is to be greatly ad­mired.
If these men can accept the decision
of the majority, there is no excuse for other
individuals to oppose the plan.
THE GEDUNK
I am the Gedunk who opposes every­thing.
Nothing is ever begun upon this
campus that I do not oppose. I. do not
believe that the idea will work, nor do I
believe that it is even worth trying. It
makes no difference to me what the pro­posal
is, or what benefit to the student
body it will be. I oppose everything
whether I understand it, because I will
be against it anyway, so it makes no dif­ference.
HASHED SCRAPS
OH MY, oh my, didn't the election Friday bring out many things—who could
the simple soul be who assured everybody that the constitution could not fail—
and who appeared in the cafeteria at noon and patted each co-ed on the back for
casting a negative vote? Doesn't it hurt some people to be sincere?
MEMORIES
As o'er the rolling hills below,
I cast my roving eye,
I long once more for Southern shores,
And whisp'ring, fragrant pines.
Bring back to me the sounding sea,
And spicy ocean air;
I want to lie beneath blue skies
And think no more of care.
The summer breeze, and moss-hung trees—
They haunt my memory,'
And fill the air with music rare;
Exotic melody.
But all in vain; I lapse again
Into this life so drab,
Of dull and tiresome lectures dry,
And never-ending labs!

Yale recently defeated Harvard in a
blind-fold cigarette contest. It seems that
the Harvard students as a rule must buy
their own cigarettes, and consequently do
not have to smoke just any old cigarette
that their victim may possess; therefore
they are handicapped to the extent that
they are allowed to smoke only their fav­orite
brand. Like good sports thought, the
Harvard students have decided to smoke all
brands before the contest is due again next
year. It's father who has to pay.

THE STUDENT BODY has adopted
the constitution, by-laws, and com­mittee
regulations proposed last
week by a committee of representative men
I and women of the student body. There
! was opposition; exactly as I expected. It
even came, from where I expected, and in
| the manner that I expected. There are
always the individuals that jare "agin"
things simply to be on the other side. They
presented their case in a characteristic
manner and were repudiated by the ma­jority
of the students.
There was more interest displayed in the
question than has been seen here in a long
time. It went a long way toward bringing
politics out in the open; soap-box debating
went on extensively. There was an honest
attempt to reason the thing out in public.
There was entirely too large a vote in the
negative column, however. Too many stu­dents
(among them most of the co-eds)
voted "no" on the whole constitution be­cause
of an objection to some insignificant
point. It revealed a lack of ability to
grasp the whole of a question of some
comprehensiveness.

Students of the South are much more un- j "A man of forty-two is better equipped
inclined to make haste than the student of I to learn than a boy of fiteen", is the statc-the
North; so a visitor at Georgia Univer­sity
states. Here goes:—"Southern stu­dents,
especially at the University of Geor­gia,
are chiefly impressive because of their
slow moving, leisurely way of sauntering
across the campus, to the eyes of a New
York debuntante, Miss Susan Todd, who
visited her grandfather Judge Lumpkin,
here recently.
Miss Todd considers Southern students
gloriously lazy, contrasted with the hurry­ing
New Yorkers she has known at Colum­bia
and such Northern colleges. She saw
Georgia students lolling on the steps of
buildings, dragging themselves reluctantly
out of the balmy April air into sleepy
classrooms, strolling slowly from one build­ing
to another, and marvelled at how they
ever got anywhere. But then, she oughtn't
to expect Georgians to be as fast as North­erners.
There's a rule againost it.
Another thing that impressed Miss Todd
was the lack of conversation to be found
among the co-eds. "Boys are all they talk
about. Boys and dates and dresses". The
climate is to blame, I would say. Then
again, the Northerners could wear more
clothes then they would not have to rush
about so in order to keep warm. And be­sides,

His investigation shows that the

THE BATTLE OF SOCKS
Bare legs at the Oklahoma A. and M.
College has caused quite a bit of comment
from students, parents, faculty, etc. It
appears that the girls wish to wear half
socks. Some favor the co-eds wearing half
sox, while others^ are unfavorabjle; the
dean of women being among the unfavor­able—
therefore the unfavorable have the
majority. The president of the YWCA
ses nothing morally wrong in wearing half
socks, provided a girl has pretty legs.
Others favored the wearing of half sox
on the same condition, but barred blue
streaked and veined legs. At that, most
will agree that they are cheaper, more com­fortable,
and expose very little more than
the ones now worn. One professor said
that he was not especially against the co-'
eds wearing the half sox, but that it did
make him feel kinda nervous. So the battle
waxes warmly.
HE MOST lamentable opposition
came from those who were motivated
by ignorance and misunderstanding.
Too many men thought that a student gov­ernment
was being proposed. Too many
' thought that the organization would be a
j handle by which the administration could
j pick up and move the student body. One
j freshman thought that the constitution for-
I bade trips to Opelika. Another thought
that it was a plan by which we would be
charged a certain sum for every class cut.
j Many were the far-fetched and fantastic
j notions broadcast by the opposition. After
i this experience I agree that you can make
people believe anything for a time. I have
found out that no one objects to talking
about something of which he knows ab­solutely
nothing. The sidewalk orators gen­eralized
and set up hypotheses, but many
of them, when pinned down, admitted that
they hadn't read the constitution and knew
| nothing about it. However, they were de­feated.
Tht next move is to organize the stu­dent
body and put the system in operation.
Next year the organization can take hold
from the start and build up a unified school
spirit. It is now up to the undergraduates
to begin thinking about their-representa­tives.
The strongest men in school, the men
who combine intellect with moral worth
should be picked as the Executive Cabinet
members. -I'ettty politics should be for­gotten
; best friends should be weighed and
estimated before support is given them.
We have a start now toward building for
the future. The student body will grow
in numbers and will develop into a strong
unit. Maybe we will have a co-op store;
easily maintained by a student association.
There is hardly a limit to the possibili­ties
of the student association. Its activi­ties
can be extended and broadened, de­veloping
at the same time the interests
of the students.
The student body can now benefit from
the level-headedness and foresight of its
leaders. Heretofore they have been im­potent
because of a lack of unity and
common purpose.
The school has done what the great
schools of the North and East have found
necessary; may it be a step toward equality
with them!

Never think she loves him wholly,
Never believe her heart is blind,
All his faults are locked securely
In a closet of her mind;
All his indecisions folded
Like old flags that time has faded,
Limp and streaked with rain,
And his cautiousness like garments
Frayed and thin, with many a stain—
Let them be, oh let them be,
There is treasure to outweigh them,
His proud will that sharply stirred
Climbs as surely as the tide,
Senses strained too aut to sleep,
Gentleness to beast and bird,
Humour flickering hushed and wide
As the moon on moving water,
And a tenderness too deep
To be gathered in a word.

CHESS IS POPULAR
SPORT IN AUBURN
Chess is becoming an increasingly
popular indoor sport at Auburn, and
certain interested faculty members
and students are working hard to fur­ther
popularize the game. As their
contribution to this movement, sev­eral
prominent faculty members,
under the leadership of Professor
Ralph D. Doner, have formed an in­formal
chess club. The club meets
once a week, on Friday nights, and
provides an opportunity for faculty
chess players to improve their play­ing
and also to amuse themselves.
Some serious study of the game is
being combined with the pleasure of-fei'ed
by the club; some of the mem­bers
are studying the science of the
game as set forth in Mitchell's Chess
Manual.
Thus far the club has contented
itself with informal games among the
members, but Professor Doner has
said that a tournament will quite
probably be held before the end of
the semester.
Some of the faculty members be­longing
to the club are Professors
Crenshaw, Hargraves, McKinnon,
Shubert, Burley, Beck, and Elizondo.
Acting on their own initiative, cer­tain
students interested in chess have
begun to play their games by radio.
Recently, George Fahrubel, at Au­burn,
and Keister, an Auburn stu­dent
spending the week-end in Mont­gomery,
enlisted the aid of the ama­teur
radio stations at the two places
and played a chess game which lasted
through Friday afternoon and a large
part of the day Saturday. The game
was unusually prolonged, due to sev­eral
interruptings during the course
of play. The actual playing time was
about five hours.
These ambitious students, aspiring
to greater things, have challenged
Georgia Tech and Mississippi A. &
M. to radio chess games. The chal­lenges
have not yet been accepted,
but acceptance has been promised.

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. It is harm­less;
contains no drugs or medicine.
It 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

that you can read right through the

In the April 1929 issue of The
Quarterly Journal of Speech, pub­lished
by the National Association of
Teachers of Speech, there appears an
article entitled "Our Neglect of Voice
Training" by Dr. B. C. Van Wye of
the University of Cincinnati.
"We have become accustomed," de­clares
Br. Van Wye, "through long
suffering not to expect loveliness of
tone in speech, consequently when we
occasionally hear it we look upon it as
accidental." Bue, he continues, "We
can develop in ninety-nine out of ev­ery'hundred
voices the pleasing quali­ties
that add so much to the effec­tiveness
of speech.."
Dr. Van Wye considers the effec­tive
use of the voice a fine art, of in­terest
to many people, but also an
applied art which should be interest­ing
and important to the great
masses.
"The radio with all its possibilities
offers a marvelous opportunity for
helpfulness in the field of voice train­ing.
It should begin with improve­ment
in the vocal methods and pro­nunciation
of many of our an­nouncers,
just as the great telephone
corporations are giving us a very
practical demonstration in the selec­tion
and actual further training of
their operators. While scientists are
striving to eliminate the static from
the radio, we teachers of speech must
work in season and out—and that
means in classes for voice improve­ment
primarily, as well as in every
phase of the work we teach, public
speaking, debating, dramatics—to eli­minate
the sfatic from the human
hammedan king seriously objected.
"He told how he witnessed the
ceremony", quoting from the Atlan­ta
Constitution, "when Thibetan
priests introduce a 4-year-old boy as
the reincarnation of the god, a cere­mony
which occurs only once in 75
years. More, he told how he entered
the temple and how the priest allow­ed
him to undress, feed and put to
bed the 4-year-old baby god."
Mr. Halliburton is the soft of a
distinguished Southern family and a
graduate of Princeton university.
Immediately upon graduation, his
"see the world" journey began.
He is the author of two books
which have been "best sellers" for
many months, namely, "The Glorious
Adventure" and "The Royal Road to
Romance."

Halliburton Speaks
To Atlanta Audience
Richard K. Halliburton, known as
the romantic itinerant vagabond who
"circled the globe on a shoestring,"
recently spoke to an Atlanta audi­ence,
relating his many experiences
from the beginning of his travels to
Europe as a seaman, to the end which
found him back home at Memphis,
Tenn.
He told how he and a friend scaled
the Matterhorn mountain and the
many dangers they encountered; the
experiences in Switzerland, and in
Marathan, where he endeavored to
cover the course followed by the an­cient
Grecian; how he swam the
Hellespont, battling the strong cur­rents
in midstream on an empty
stomach; and the near-civi war in old
India, resulting from his desire to
wed a Hindu princess to which a Mo

body of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute

and to the best of our knowledge and

Alabama's forest land can be pro­tected
against fire at a cost of approx­imately
three cents per acre, says a
statement issued by the Commission
of Foresty. This figure is the average,
the cost for the long-leaf pine being
somewhat higher while for most other
parts of the state it will probably be
slightly less. For some time the Com­mission
has been engaged in coopera­tion
with the Federal Government in
preparing an estimate of the neces­sary
cost of preventing fires in the
woods.
The figures given are believed to
be sufficient to reduce the percentage
of area burned to about two and one-half
per cent per annum. While this
is somewhat short of the ultimate
aim, nevertheless it represents a re­duction
to a point where fires would
cease to be a material hindrance to
profitable timber growing. This is
largely because forest fires in south­ern
types are not nearly so destruct­ive
as in the north and west.
The total forest land in Alabama
amounts to about 23,000,000 acres.
At three cents an acre the cost would
amount to about $690,000 per annum.
Naturally, most of this should be
borne by the landowners themselves
in the form of individual and associ­ated
protective work. The balance
should be provided by the State and
Fedeial Governments. The division
of costs at present most favored fixes
approximately half to be borne by
the landowners while the other half
should be shared about equally by the
State and the national Government.
