The Elections Committee appoint-1 of this year, and purchase office fur-ed
by Dr. Knapp met in the executive nishings. This announcement was
:
office Saturday morning to make up
the ballot for the election to be held
tomorrow. Several routine matters
were disposed of, and the nominations
received. One nomination was re­jected
on the grounds that the nomi­nee
is on probation. This disqualifies
any candidate under the new consti­tution.
Thirty-eight nominations were re­ceived
and passed upon by the com-
' mittee. The ballot will be made up as
follows:
Academic: for senior representa­tive:
T. M. Roberts Jr. and H. 0.
Davis. For junior representative: A.

the Class of 1929, after a meeting of
the Senior Class on Thursday morn­ing.
The fund will total between two
hundred fifty and three hundred dol­lars.
The facilities to be purchased
are a filing cabinet, a large oak table,
and an oak chair for each member of
the Cabinet.
Following a suggestion from .Presi­dent
Knapp, the class voted to place
an appropriate bronze plate in the
table which would be a lasting re­minder
that the Class of '29 created
the Association of Undergraduate
Students of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, and that this equipment
had been purchased by the outgoing
seniors.
After some discussion it was de­cided
that each member of the cabinet
should have a special seat with his
name on it. It was the purpose in
carrying out this program to preserve
the names of cabinet members in
permanent form.

Lookers-on at the Vandy game
witnessed a grippingly interest­ing
and uniquely staged animal
show gratis.
The show opened when a shag­gy,
long-eared mongrel loped
nonchalantly across the outfield.
His lagging steps were not at all
speeded up by the cries of the
exasperated ball-tossers.
The next event of importance
in the epochal exhibition of the
Auburn menagerie was the sen­sational
app'earance of a flying
squadron of equities. The Van-derbilterians
in the outfield were
appalled by this wild stampede
of mustangs.
How could poor deluded Van- .
dy, who was so very excited,
know that these were merely the
harmless "plugs" of the War De­partment?

G. Nunn of Auburn; he graduated
from the Lee County High School
here before entering the college. He
is taking the course in Second Edu­cation
and specializing in mathe­matics;
he was rated with distinction
in his studies for his freshman year.
He is a member of the Tau Omega
Chi fraternity.

Engineers Meet In
Friendly Conclave
On Monday evening the Engineer's Club
will hold a smoker, its first social meeting.
Every engineer should go to the smoker.
This newly-formed club is the only or­ganization
which attempts to unify the
whole of the engineering school.
Every student enrolled in the College of
Engineering is invited. It is the premier
venture of this club; a venture that will
be an indication of the prospects of the
club. The engineers should be united in
such an organization. They should have
some common meeting ground where mat­ters
of peculiar interest can be discussed,
and where projects of interest to the en­gineering
student body can be brought up.
The club is primarily social. It will unite
in a social organization all the men in this
important department, and will be the vis­ible
expression of their group spirit.
This group spirit is what we need. The
spirit exhibited on Ag Hill can be develop­ed
in the College of Engineering if the en­gineers
will support this club. It is the
mechanical means of bringing the men to­gether;
the spirit and loyalty will come as
a result of the organized association.
"United, we stand; divided, we fall."
The development of strong intermural
loyalty will develop strong school spirit.
It naturally follows. Come but and make
the Engineer's Club effective, engineers;
then we can work on the Auburn Spirit.
Welcome Scouts;
Return Next Year
One of the most worthwhile events at
Auburn recently was the Annual Jamboree
of the East Alabama Council of the Boy
Scouts of America. Every year this Jam­boree,
which is designed to strengthen in­terest
in Boy Scout activities, is held at
some town in this Boy Scout District. The
Jamboree, attended by Boy Scouts from
seven nearby counties, is the culmination
of a year's work by the Scouts. During the
preceding year the Scouts have been train­ed
in a number of useful arts. Some of
these arts will be useful when they are
older; others serve only to develop the
Scouts physically and mentally.
Among the things taught to the Scouts
are first aid, tower building, O'Grady'Drill,
fire building by friction, wall scaling,
archery, signalling, handicraft and scout-craft.
Competitions in these arts are held
at the Jamboree and prizes are awarded to
the winners. An oratorical contest is also
held and a prize awarded to the winner.
During the Jamboree certificates are
given to those boys who, by special train­ing,
have qualified for the position of
Scout Master. These boys will be the train­ers
of Boy Scouts in the future.
These Boy Scouts are the men of the
future. From their Boy Scout work they
receive training which will help to fit them
to be useful and able citizens when they
grow older. For this reason the Scout
work is a commendable work. It is a work
which should be understood and supported
i by everyone.
May the Men of '30 Think Less
Of Honor and More of Work
The three campus honor societies, Omi-cron
Delta Kappa, Spades, and Blue Key,
have announced the election of their mem­bers
for next year. These societies have
picked the men who seem to be the out­standing
men in the class of 1930; have
conferred high honor upon them, and have
placed them before the world as the lead­ers
on the campus.
Scholarship, leadership ability, interest
in extra-curricula activities, character and
personality have been considered; the men
chosen have passed the gamut of these re­quirements.
They are apparently the lead­ers
for 1930.
It cannot be impressed upon these men
too strongly that their responsibility is
great. Honor is not all that membership
in one of these organizations means. It
is to them that the student body will look
for leadership. It is to them that the ad­ministration
will look for support. It is
to them that the alumni will look to carry
on. These student leaders will bear the
brunt of any constructive work that is done
by the student body; they must think clear­ly
through the campus problems and so
act that Auburn will benefit. It is to them
that the mass of students will look for their
thinking; clear, unbiased minds and deter­mination
to work must answer this appeal
Auburn has picked her leaders for next
year. Honor has come to them; now must
they begin to show that the honor is
deserved by setting to work to do some of
the unlimited things that are waiting for
leaders.
Letters to the Editor
Auburn, Alabama.
May 1st, 1929.
Editor the "Plainsman";
On Cigarette Bumming
While newspapers discuss and describe
vividly the evils of prohibition with its con­current
evils, one eminent sin is entirely
overlooked. Yet, it is a curse that we have
with us every day, year in and out, and is
especially evident here at Auburn. The
evil referred to is the affliction most of
us possess or rely upon at times; that is,
the practise of bumming cigarettes.
All bummers may be divided into three
classes: those who bum all the time, those
who bum only part the time, and those
who bum only when they find it absolutely
necessary.
The first class are incorrigible. They
are depraved beyond reform. Persistent,
persevering, and omnipresent, they torture
the cigarette buyers with their incessant
begging. As the steady dropping of water
on the bound man causes him to go insane,
so the bummer causes the smoker to swear
off smoking.
That class which borrows when tempor­arily
out of tobacco is a (so-called) neces­sary
evil, and can.be put up with for a
short period of time. Usually, the reason
for bumming is that they are just out of
funds, or that the walk to the tobacco shop
is just a little too far at the moment.
Eventually, however, they will buy a pack
of cigarettes and will not bum for a day
or two.
A very small percentage belong to the
class which borrows only at widely sep­arated
intervals. Those, who rarely ever
bum, are the life and sustinance of the ha­bitual
bummers. They have two to three
times the expenses of their own cigarettes,
for they have to keep their friends, who
do not buy, in tobacco. Poor devils!
Attempts to remedy the situation have
been made, but for the most part have
been found wanting. A sure' cure from
bummers is complete abstinance from smok­ing.
But the consequences are evident—
the cigarettes are gone, and the enjoyment
with them.
Changing from cigarettes to pipe allevi­ates
the evil, but the source—tobacco—is
still there and the evil will recur in a dif­ferent
form. Smoking tobacco, however,
is much cheaper than cigarettes, and quite
a saving is realized in this way of smoking
the leaf. The only drawback is that a good
pipe costs much more than any-package of
cigarettes.
Clubs have been formed, each member
to refrain from smoking anybody's nails
exeept his own. But societies broke down
from lack of morale. More members bum­med
than abstained.
Thus, we now have a plea from those
who conscientiously try to desist from bum­ming,
to find some way to eliminate the
evil.
But the only possible way seen, to date,
is for the,bummers to band together and
voluntarily swear to leave off bumming;
or, to kill off all the persistent bummers.
The others would then be too terrifieR to
continue the obnoxious practise—maybe!

Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The Boy Scouts
-were guests of Au­burn
and the Ala­bama
Polytechnic on
Friday. I hope we
made them all feel
welcome and t h at
they went away car­rying
with them a
fine impression o f
this community as a
whole. I sincerely trust that many of
these boys will come to Auburn one of
these days and enter college.
In putting the new Student Association
and its constitution, by-laws, and regula­tions
into full force there is one point
which we must not forget and that is »eal
democracy and a square, fair chance for
everyone. Every group ought to be rep­resented.
Every man or woman who is a
regularly matriculated student of this in­stitution
and has not earned enough credits
to receive a degree and therefore has not
received a degree is an undergraduate stu­dent
and should have his proper part in
the work of this Association. There should
be no "log rolling" or scheming to put any­thing
over on any one. No division should
seek or even desire improper power beyond
that which it justly deserves. In other
words, what we all ought to seek is the
best interests of Auburn. All the divisions
of the institution should be given their due
place and their due credit.
The test of a man's fitness for a place
on the Executive Cabinet of the Under­graduate
Student's Association is not to
be found in his membership in any or­ganization
but rather in his character as a
man, his fairness, his breadth of mind, his
love and loyalty for the institution and its
welfare. Littleness or provincial attach­ment
to a one-sided interest of the institu­tion
would surely fall short of the best in­terests
of the entire student body. The
test is: "Who may best work and best
agree?"
" L i t t l e Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Still more banquets; somebody stands a
good chance of getting "fed up" after a
while. Or else we'll be back down to just
plain old "bull and grits" again right away.
The Spade initiation was a rather
"warm" affair; but it seems to have
brought a reverse reaction in the weather.
We will have to agree with the Blue
Keys that the matter of choosing the out­standing
student is a real task. Even next
season this matter may still go undecided.
Edison has begun a search for his suc­cessor.
Due to investigations among his
employees, he states that he finds the col­lege
trained are alarmingly ignorant! Think
of that, Seniors—four good years wasted!
We wonjer just how many colleges have
the opportunity of enjoying such an out­standing
event as the Horse Show given
here each year?
Dances coming. Too bad the finals have
to interfere!
The Seniors have already begun to
spend future fabulous salaries—riding in
New Fords, etc.
The matter of electing Executive Cabinet
members to the student association is near;
we cannot regard this task too seriously.
Whether or not this much needed student
organization is a success depends largely
upon the men elected to its offices. If we
are looking to the future welfare of the
student body as a whole, it is-our plain
duty to elect the men who will make this
association an outstanding success.
m AUBURN FOOTPRINTS %
The Chicago Daily Tribune 'sagely re­ports
via its headlines that "Fraternities
Pick Chicagoan." It might be asked in this
connection if there ever was a fraternity
man who wasn't "picked."
Way out west in Denver where the men
shoot straight and the women are sort of
masculine, The Rocky Mountain News told
the story last week of an eleven-year-old
boy who held up and robbed chorus girls
at the stage door of the Denver Theater.
Here at last is one stag door Johnnie who
didn't give a d for the ponies, but who
was out after the jack.
THE GEDUNK
I'm the Gedunk in the Freshman history
class who, is continually a center of dis­turbance.
I do not really do anything so
bad myself, but I incite the boys around
me to cause a distui-bance. Also, I make
smart remarks under my breath so that the
Professor would never suspect me, but the
ones around me can hear them and of
course they laugh loudly and make other
wise cracks. I know, of course, that I dis­turb
the lecturer and prevent some two
hundred other students from getting full
benefit froVn the course and that such
childishness is rarely seen outside gram­mar
school, but I am so cute that, regard­less
of others, I must have my fun.
HASHED SCRAPS
It might be interesting and amusing to know what some of our more prominent
professors and students will be doing this summer. Mr. J. T. Allen, co-ed idol,
will be employed as a model for an ultra-smart men's furnishings shop. Mr. J.
Myron Herren will be engaged in the capacity of "Barker" for a three ring circus.
Professor Kenneth Daughrity will teach short story writing at the Sing-Sing
school for Girls. They'll have to be short for the time and material available will
be rather limited. Miss Zoe Dobbs will conduct a class in Child Welfare at Mt.
Meighs Institute for Higher Cultural Learning. The entire Kappa Delta sorority
will concoct cooling beverages for the summer school students; the enrollment of
the summer school is thereby expected to be greatly increased. Members of the
various honor societies will overwork themselves displaying their assortment of
small, shiny trinkets to the children in their neighborhood. After a hard day of
such labor these outstanding and noble characters will indulge in an evening of
back-patting with the family, explaining how they were chosen to reecive the high­est
honor on the campus. Let's hope that they will brag aboujt the emptiness of
their heads also. Reynolds Vincent will be main man on the village ice-wagon.
Let's hope that he can stand up under the strain. We understand he has engaged
T. S. Christopher to hold the horses, for him. John A. B. C. D. E. Callan has
incorporated a concern for the arrangement of banquets. He guarantees to accept
all losses incurred.

Your grades already low—
No teacher near, nor need to fear
That anyone will know.

Impelling, craving thirst;
You feel that one drunk, just in fun,
Will make you none the worse.

No witness if you slip—

CHANGING STYLES
Talk about the betterment of humanity, adding to man's comfort—well, well,
well—
Who d'ya think breaks out with greatest comfort idea of the twentieth cen­tury
but little ole Joe himself. Yup, you're right, Super Shorts. Here's the way
Joe claims it happened. ~
"The college man" (says Joe) "made 'shorts' popular. Y'know—stylish stuff,
specially with lotsa colors. Sure did brightn up the locker rooms at the gym and
give the coach a big laugh 'till he bought some himself.
"But", says Joe (emphatically, too, we hasten to add) they were the most un­comfortable
things Gen'l Grant never wore! What I mean!"
Joe, being a bit backward in talking about himself, let's tell the rest. Joe
wrote his senior thesis on "The Abolishment of the Center-seam, or Underwear
That Didn't Fit Correctly, How It Has Affected Decisions of World Import in the
Past and Present."
So Joe got his degree and his thesis was published instead of being field with
that testimonial to the late Prof. Thisanthat for which there wasn't room in the
library corner-stone.
But ole philosophical Joe says, "Wotinell's the diff ? I got my self seamless seat
Super Shorts, so that I'd really enjoy those hard doggone benches another year.".

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
IT WOULD BREAK AUBURN
Commenting on the recent student body
ruling at N. C. State to the effect that any
student who misses a class without an ex­cuse
be required to pay a fine of fifty
cents, The Emory Wheel remarks that
5,355 cuts were taken at Emory during the
fall term, and figures that if the same rule
were in vogue at Emory, the student body
would be poorer by some $2,677.50. Mer­cer
experimented with penalties for cuts
last year, but decided that the method
which had been previously in force—tliat
is, allowing each student one week of cuts
during the term and cutting his credit for
each cut over the alotted number—was the
best solution to the question.
* ••:-• * * *
SO THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG
Underclassmen seem to be superior in
sports and other activities at many col­leges.
The Chicora college freshmen won
the basketball championship at that school.
At Erskine, the sophomores came out vic­torious.
These and many other instances
are a sure sign that the talent at our col­leges
is becoming better and better among
the lower classmen. Well give the young­sters
a chance, because they may be too
old to do much by the time they get ready
to graduate.
* * * * *
MY GOODNESS!
L. J. Ryan, senior at the University of
Toronto, and the editor of the Campus
newspaper, has been dismissed from school
by the recommendation of the student
council because his editorials were too
frank.
The council labelled his writings as "ex­tremely
ubiquitous". Well I wouldn't be
surprised at any thing called that.
* * * * *
MONEY TALKS
Next in order is a l-uling against poli­tical
parties in a college or university,
spending over a certain quoto in the elec­tion
of their officers. At Emory during the
last election, small fortunes were spent by
the campaigners in an effort to elect their
candidates.
According to statistics released by the
two parties, concerning the election, there
was expended in the recent student body
and class elections a total of $162.25. Just
imagine. The Democratic party, spent
$84.99 and was victorious in most of the
offices. The All Emory Party spent $77.26.
The heaviest expense of the campaign
on both sides was the cost of putting out
the two party publications. Cigar, or per­sonal
money was not accounted for.
LIMIT THE TIME
The Girl's Forensic Council, of Howard,
will sponsor an inter-sorority debating pro­gram
to be held at Howard in the near fu­ture.
Contests between the'sororities have in­cluded
to date a go-to-church campaign, a
baseball tourney and a beauty contest; the
inter-sorority debating probably being the
last contest for this year. The subjects will
be humorous, allowing the entrants to ex­hibit
their skill in entertaining with wise
sayings as well as combating with facts.
* * * * *
MAY HE PROSPER
Here's why some profs don't live long.
A me'mber of the faculty of the University
of Minnesota comes out with a plan for a
12-month school year wherever the climate
will permit it. He claims that vacations
waste years of development in a student,
and that as far as health goes, it is much
more strictly supervised during the college
year. No, I don't know his address.

• MEDICS BUY 'SAND-BUTTER'
Stocking up on 84 pounds of pure butter
at a price much below market value, Phi
Rho Sigma, medical fraternity at the Uni­versity
of Minnesota, found that the butter
purchased by them consisted of three inches
of butter and 75 pounds of sand and news­paper.
A peddler who approached the fraternity
recently agreed to sell them the tub of but­ter
at nine cents a pound under the market
price, because he was overstocked and
wanted to get rid of it.
When the cook stuck a large ladle into
the rub next morning, her spoon struck
something hard. Uncovering about three
inches of butter, she found a supply of
old newspapers and land.
With a net profit of three inches of pure
country butter, the boys notified police,
and told the bank to hold up payment on
the check. • The next morning the house
received a call from the National Tea
Company, on whom the burden of payment
had fallen, because they had cashed the
check. The peddler has not been located.
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.
* * * * *
TO WRITE a column for a college
newspaper twice a week is in itself
no herculean task, but to fall heir to
•the responsibility for writing that column
because of the graduation of Benjamin
Provost, almost causes the task to assume
hob-gobblin proportions. My arm trmbles
as it reaches, with some misgivings, for
the torch which Benjamin is about to hurl
my way. Not exactly with fear am 1
quaking in my boots; rather it is the feel­ing
that one would surely experience on
being asked to play a piano solo immedia­tely
after the conclusion of Minuet in G,
played by Paderewski. Explanations or
apologies would not be expected of the
novice, yet the novice would certainly wish
to have the listeners understand that he
realized that his playing will not be as per­fect
as that of the master.
NOW THAT it has been made plain
to you that you are not to expect
too much of this beginner in the
shoes of the columnist, perhaps it is just
as well to pound our heads for something
to be columnized—Interlude—After pon­dering
over three cigarettes and an office
seeker's cigar, we have decided to expound
a bit about the gentleman who is giving up
this column and who is to go meditating on
his way; and we hope, that his way will
lead among paths just as fertile for medi­ation
as have been his ramblings here and
perhaps, even more appreciative. No mat­ter
how quietly or calmly a person would
like to go out from a place, if the person
has accomplished something outstanding
in that particular place, he cannot depart
without effecting some sort of ripple. Not
that this column will by any means be the
only medium to register the commotion
caused by the departure of Mr. Provost,
however, it is so keenly registered here
(hat it cannot be disregarded and it is only
proper that it be so and as for us personal­ly;
the ripple assumes the disastrous pro­portions
of a tidal wave and all of you will
henceforth be sprayed by the backwash,
which is myself.
ONE DOES not have to read a second
time the last paragraph of Benja­min's
column in Thursday's Plains­man
to see that something twinges in his
breast at the thought of leaving. First of
all he has loved to write this column and it
has been fun for him, perhaps more than
anything else, that accounts for the suc­cess
and popularity of his "Meditations on
This and That". . . Mr. Provost has been
constructive without preaching, has not
torn down without offering something bet­ter
to be built in its place. He has cri­ticised,
but without the bitterness of the
iconoclast. Benjamin has shouted from the
house tops his opinions and suggestions,
but has not stooped to penurious quibbling
or heckling controversy. He has been ori­ginal
and entertaining and sometimes
amusing, but always at the other fellow's
expense. He has made plain his disgust
for banality and stupidity and just as dis­tinctly
been thrilled with constructiveness
and originality. Above all, Benjamin Pro­vost
has ideas and possesses the ability and
intelligence to keenly and fluently express
them; nor has he been too phlegmatic or
bashful to do so. Well, that's that, and if
I knew anything else to say I would say
it, but I don't. It all goes to explain to,
dear students, why I feel a bit like a coal
miner trying to .sew on a button.
* * * * *
AGAIN, we must get back to the busi­ness
of this column. Let's see now,
there must be several inches to be
filled in, because the poem that goes at the
bottom will not stretch like an accordian
and something will have to darken these
blank inches. What is that? A little loud­er,
please. Oh, you are asking what is to be
the policy of this new column? Certainly,
that's an easy one. Thar ain't goin' to be
no sech animal. This writer is going to
struggle along without any such third leg,
or incumberance as a policy would most
certainly prove to be. Policies are for poli­ticians,
fundamentalists, Rotarians and col­lege
professors; so surely we could not af­ford
to boast any such thing as that yet
awhile. This column shall want to discuss
everything from the Mediteranean Fruit
Fly to the Northern Lights without being
chaffed by a policy. This column shall only
be responsible to Jehovah for its opinions
and He won't mind much because He is busy
making it rain and keeping down the price
of cotton, so we guess that we'll get by
almost unnoticed.

Delightful Party Given
by Girta at Practice
House
The group of girls who have been
at the Practice House for the past six
weeks were hostesses on last Saturday
evening at one of the most delightfully
unique and charming entertainments
ever given there. Misses Mary Brad­ford
and Sara Holliday guarded the
gate at the top of the porch steps
which opened to admit the guests into
a veritable flower garden. The porch,
reception rooms, dining room, and hall
were turned into the different parts
of a garden evolved by a lover of
flowers and shrubs. Alice Whitcher
Sandlin greeted the guests at the door
to the reception hall and escorted
them to the "rock garden" where
punch was served from a rose gar­landed
bowl ensconced in a bird bath,
by Miss Naomi Wilson, Mrs. O. W.
Hewitt, and Mrs. C. H. Earley. Miss
Dana Gatchell and Miss Lottie Col­lins
greeted the guests in the living
room. Misses Lucy Parker and Viola
Thorn were in the dining room where
the guests were served tempting re­freshments,
with the ice bright flow­er
cups, the individual cakes emboss­ed
with pink roses, and the mints in
wondrous small garden hat delicately
decorated. The living room and din­ing
room formed the formal part of
the garden, with its large round bed
of flowers, trellis, palms, fountain,
stone bench, and arbor. The hall was
made into an informal alley with small
pines, small wooden benches and a sil­ver
crescent of a moon caught in the
branches of a pine. Realistic flag
stone walks led from one section of
this garden to the other. The hos­tesses,
Miss Mary Bradford, Sarah
Holliday, Lottie Collins, Lucy Park­er,
Viola Thorn, and Mrs. Sandlin,
were lovely in varied colored evening
gowns with transparent picture hats
trimmed with real roses to harmonize.
They were assisted in serving by the
members of Miss Gatchell's class in
table service.
UNUSUAL INTEREST SHOWN IN
ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW HERE
The second annual Flower Show
sponsored by the Civics Department
of the Woman's Club of Auburn was
held May 1, 1929 at the Episcopal
Parrish House.
This project begun so auspiciously
last yearby the Club has grown
amazingly in one year. In the inter­est
shown, in the number of entries,
the beauty of arrangement, and in
the quality of the blooms, the exhi­bits
this year far surpassed those of-last
year. There were thirty-five en­trants
from Auburn alone, besides
very beautiful exhibits from Loacha-poka
and Gold Hill.
The decorations were most lovely
and unique. These were planned and
supervised by Miss Dana Gatchell of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
One entire side of the room was con­verted
into a veritable flower gar­den.
In the center surrounding a
lovely bird bath, was a huge flower
bed of massed larkspur, cornflowers,
petunias, and verbenas with a border
of vari-colored coleus. Flagged
walks outlined with small cedars and
arbor vitae led to an inviting garden
seat under a graceful trellis of pink
and white roses. All about the room
were masses of shrubbery, potted
plants and hanging baskets inter­spersed
with baskets and bowls of
cut flowers. This combined with ex­hibits
of over twenty varieties of an­nuals
and perennials, made a scene of
unusual color and beauty.
Seven prizes were awarded. Mrs.
E. F. Cauthen won two bud vases,
presented by Mrs. S. L. Toomer, for
the best individual rose bud. Miss
Allie Glenn won a lovely flower bowl,
presented by Mrs. B. F. Thomas, for
the best collection of roses, one color
and one variety., Mrs. C. A. Cary won

College Credit To
Be Given On Tour
Praise of the school of architecture
at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
was contained in a report of C. How­ard
Walker, Boston, to the executive
committee of the American Associa­tion
of Collegiate Schools of Archi­tecture.
This was learned by Pro­fessor
Milton S. Osborne while attend­ing
the recent convention of the as­sociation
in Washington.
Mr. Walker visited Auburn recent­ly
to get first-hand information about
the school of architecture.' He is
a member of a famous firm of archi­tects
in Boston.
In his report he made special men­tion
of the high standard of the Au­burn
school, it being the only school
of architecture in the South having
a five-year course of study. Members
of the organization were unanimous in
their approval of the five-year plan.
Auburn is one of three southern
schools of architecture in the associa­tion,
which has a total membership
of 100.
While he was away from Auburn
Professor Osborne went to New York
and attended the convention of t he
American Institute of Architects.

VANDY WINS IN FIRST

Complete details by Prof. G. T.
Schwenning concerning the Labor
Movement summer tour to Europe
which the University of N. C. will
sponsor this year included the an­nouncement
that the course is a stan­dard
offering of the University School
of Commerce and carries full credit.
There may have been some misun­derstanding,
according to Professor
Schwening, who is to direct the course;
and he made clear the fact that full
college credit will go to those complet­ing
the prescribed work.
"The course," he explained, "is de­signed
for serious-minded students
who look forward eventually to a s ­suming
managerial responsibilities in
industries and who wish to spend their
summer profitably by combining a vis­it
to Europe with standard class in­struction."
Regular classes wil be held on t he
way to Europe, he said, to discuss the
major problems and principles of per-
-sonnel management. In Europe each
member will select and report his ob­servations
on a specific topic in the
field of industrial relations. There
will be numerous visits to prominent
industries, and afternoons will be de­voted
to studying. Recreational ac­tivities
will be planned for the even­ings.
The tour will last from July 3 to
August 23, and a. splendid itinerary I H a w k i n g F>
has been planned. Among the most I IT u ; ns
important industrial centers to be vis-i ;
ited are London and Birmingham in
England, and Dusseldorf in Germany,
with inspection trips to the Krupp
works at Essen and coal mines in t he
Ruhr district.
A special feature of the tour will
be a two-day visit to t h e Internation­al
Labor Office and the League of
Nations in Geneva, where the group
may get a world-wide view of the
industrial relations problem. A num­ber
of sightseeing trips for .recrea­tional
and cultural purposes have been

when Brown, Askew and Cumins did

The Tigers did not score again un­til
the seventh when Jim Crawford
socked the pill for an uninterrupted
t r i p around the sacks. With Harkins
on the mound the Nashville lads were
held pointless in the seventh and
eight innings but managed to r u n in
a couple in the ninth after the Moul-ton
lads had started a hitting spree,
running in three in the eighth when
Curries smashed the horsehide for a
round trip with Harkins and Booth
oh bases. Capt. Smith managed to
get a homer in%the ninth for t h e final
t a l ly for the Auburnites.
Auburn came from behind too late
after Vandy had marked up a couple
in the first of the ninth. Eleven
Plainsmen were left on bases when r e ­peated
trips to the plate brought no
hits to the Moulton nine in the
pinches.

W4AQ Gets Certificate
Official Relay Station
At a recent meeting of the Radio
Club the following officers were elect­ed:
B. S. Burton, president; G .W.
Fahrubel, vice-president; G. V. Waldo,
treasurer, William Keister, secretary;
Woodrow Darling, chief engineer of
station W4AQ, and A. C. Cohen, J r .,
reporter.
After the election of officers, prob­lems
relative to t he operation of Ama­t
e u r - S t a t i o n W4AQ were discussed.
A total of ,208 messages were handled
during the month ending April Kith.
This includes 116 originated, 43-de-j
livered, and 4'J relayed. In recogni- \
tion of this achievement, W4AQ has j
been given membership in the Brass j
Pounders League, an honorary league!
of amateur stations. To be admitted,
to this organization a station must
handle as many as 200 messages in
a month. Only a few stations achieve
this feat, and it is looked upon as a
distinct honor to be a member of this
league. Another honor awarded
W4AQ is that of having been made
an ORS (Official Relay Station).
Ortly the best stations in the various
districts are selected for this duty.
In awarding the ORS certificate to t he
Auburn station, Mr. Bayne, the local
ARRL representative, W4AQ was the
best station in the state. In confirma­tion
of Mr. Bayne's statement, a r e ­port
was received from WFR5 in t he
Canal Zone saying that the Auburn
station had the best signal in the
United States. It might also be of
interest to know that on Sunday night,
