Mother Of D e c e a s e d Student Is
Noted Southern Poet
W. T. Shepard, Auburn student of
Opp, Alabama, was instantly killed^
W. T. Spivey, Moultrie, Ga., sustained
severe head injuries, and Miss Mary
Susan Heard, Columbus, Ga., suffer­ed
a broken arm and shattered knee
cap as a result of a head-on collision
of two cars on the Opelika-Columbus
highway at about 4 p. m. yesterday.
Others slightly injured in the crash
are Miss Mary Green, Clarence Gib­son,
of Columbus, Ga., and two Au­burn
students, whose names have not
been ascertained, who were riding in
the rumble seat of the Shepard car at
the time of the accident.
Shepard's body was carried to an
Opelika undertaker while the injured
were rushed to the East Alabama hos­pital
at Opelika. Though definite an­nouncement
of the extent of Spivey's
injuries has not been made, his con­dition
was reported to be much im­proved
this afternoon.
Funeral services for Shepard will be
held in his home, Opp, Alabama, at 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Kath-erine
F. Shepard, brilliant southern
poet and mother of the deceased, left
Opp early last night to return the
body of her son to her home for burial
services. She was accompanied by a
motor caravan of five or six cars.
The Ford coupe driven by Shepard
crashed into another Ford coupe driv­en
by Gibson five miles east of Ope­lika,
the two cars meeting in a cloud
of dust raised by a third automobile
which passed immediately before the
accident. The party of students ac­companying
Shepard was enroute to
Moultrie, Ga., to spend the week-end
at Spivey's home. Mr. Gibson was ac­companied
by Miss Green and Miss
Heard, both of Columbus, and was
driving to Opelika.
Shepard was a member of the Kap­pa
Sigma fraternity. He came to Au­burn
two years ago from Georgia
Tech where he spent the first semester
of his freshman year. Spivey is a
member of the Kappa Sigma frater­nity,
and a member of the junior class.
He transferred from Georgia Tech to
Auburn this year.
Besides his mother, who is a widow,
young Shepard is survived by three
sisters: Mrs. George VanDeurs, now
in Manila, Phillipine Islands; Mrs. L.
A. Moebus, Rockaway Beach, N. Y.;
and Mrs. Jerome Jones, Jr., of At­lanta,
Ga. Mrs. Shepard, who is res­ident
in Opp, Alabama, is a Southern
poet of note.
Hugh Grant Presides

Mr. Grant Was Once Member Of
Faculty At Auburn
Secretaries of 95 United States
Senators in Washington have organ­ized
a dinner club and Hugh G.
Grant, secretary to Senator Hugo
Black, had the honor of presiding
over the first meeting. For several
years Mr. Grant was on the faculty
at Auburn and is well known in Ala­bama.
He took a leading part in
starting the Washington club.
The organization is unique in that
it has no officers. The secretaries de­cided
that their "bosses" have enough
political squabbles, and that Capitol
Hill was entitled to have one organi-

One more attractive sport will be
added to the list of athletics at Au­burn
when organization of intramural
swimming teams is completed. The
swimming pool in the gym is now
open to students from 2:30 until 4:30
every afternoon except Tuesday. As
yet the heating system has not been
repaired but it is expected that this
will be done in the near future so
that the pool water may be heated
during the winter months.
Students who use the pool must ad­here
to the following regulations:
students must not dive from the bal­cony
or windows; everyone is requir­ed
to take a shower bath before en­tering
the water.
In the very near future a call will
be made for applicants for berths on
the intramural swimming teams. All
interested in swimming are urgently
requested to begin practice and try for
the teams.

Crayon Sketches Of Five Prom­inent
Alabamians Drawn
By Applebee
On the walls of the reception room
in connection with the studios of Sta­tion
WAPI in Birmingham will hang
crayon portraits of five prominent
Alabamians. They are Governor
Bibb Graves, Dr. Bradford Knapp,
Dr. George H. Denny, president of the
University of Alabama, Dr. 0. C. Car-michael,
president of the Alabama Col­lege,
and J. M. Jones, president of
the city commission of Birmingham.
Each of the five is prominently con­nected
with the station.
The portraits are the work of Pro­fessor
Frank W. Appleby, associate
professor of applied art of the school
of architecture of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. They were done in
black and red conte crayon.
Those of Dr. Knapp, Dr. Denny, and
Dr. Carmichael are in one panel.
They are to be placed immediately.
The group panel of the three presi­dents
was finished early in the sum­mer.
The portraits are copies of photo­graphs
plus additions made by Prof-
Appleby at personal observance. The
work represents one of many lines
being done by the department of ap­plied
art. Professor Appleby is an
alumnus of the Massachusetts School
of Art and had several years of edu­cational
and commercial experience
before coming to Auburn where he
is developing the department of ap­plied
art under the direction of Dean
Frederic C. Biggin of the school of
architecture.
Auburn Hi Wins
From Notasulga 51-0
The Auburn High School football
team won another game Thursday af­ternoon
by defeating the Notasulga
High School 51-0; the game was play­ed
on the high school field at Au­burn.
Although the score indicates that
Notasulga was badly beaten, specta­tors
said that the losers had a fight­ing
team. It was also stated that the
Auburn boys had plenty of spirit on
the field, and made up for light
weight by showing a fighting offense.
On Friday, October 25, Auburn
High will play Lafayette High School
on Mitchell Field.

Call for Bids to
Be Made in Near
Future by Prexy
Buildings Part Of Extensive
Program Endorsed Sev­eral
Months Ago
Upon approval of the plans and
specifications for the new Bibb
Graves Administration Building, the
Victor H. Hanson Auditorium, the
textile building and shops building,
the executive committee of the board
of trustees of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute yesterday authorized
President Bradford Knapp to proceed
at once to the perfection of all plans
in detail, so that bids can be adver­tised
for on construction of the new
buildings. It is understood that the
four new structures will cost a total
of approximately $600,000. The meet
ing of the executive committee, at­tended
by Dr. Bradford Knapp, was
held in the governor's office at the
Capitol.
These buildings form a part of the
extensive building program at Au­burn
that was authorized by the
board of trustees of this institution
some time ago. The extension service
building is completed, the Ross Chem­ical
Laboratory is nearing comple­tion,
and the animal husbandry build­ing
and dairy Barns are under con­struction.
In adition to Governor Graves, who
presided as ex-officio chairman, the

of education.
Baptist Convention
Will Be Held Here
Many Prominent Speakers On Pro­gram
Of Meet
The Alabama Baptist Students will
meet for their seventh annual con­vention
(at Auburn, November 1-3
with the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute,
the Baptist Student Union, and
the Auburn Baptist Church joint
hosts. The program will be under the
direction of Miss Lucille Loyd, stu­dent
secretary for the Baptist con­vention
of Alabama. The convention
will bring to Auburn large delega­tions
from every college in the state,
and also some of the finest speakers
in the South.
The keynote for the convention is
"My Master Merits My Best." The
opening session will be held Friday
afternoon at 3 o'clock and will close
with the morning session on Sunday.
This will be the first time the con­vention
has ever come to Auburn,
having met in former years with
Newton, Judson, Tuscaloosa, Birming­ham,
Montevallo, and Judson. These
conventions are held in every South­ern
state every fall for three years,
and every fourth year a South-wide
meet is held. This will be the last
convention for two years since 1930
is the year for the Southern district
conclave.
Auburn Band Gives
Concert At Opelika
Is Feature Of Lee County Fair On
Wednesday Afternoon
One of the features of the Lee
County Fair, held in Opelika during
the past week, was a visit from the
Auburn Band on Wednesday after­noon.
The band played during a
program presented in front of the
racetrack grandstand, receiving a fa­vorable
ovation from the assemblage.
Preceding the program the Auburn
boys paraded before the grandstand
in full military style.
The fair was said by many to be
one of the best to be seen in east Ala­bama
in some time; the main building
contanide arranged exhibits of each
Alabama product. The first prize for
exhibits went to Macon County. There
was also a flower show held during
the course of the fair which excited
many compliments.
Another feature was a number of
exhibitions by negro organizations,
showing many farm products that
could be easily raised by negroes;
these were primarily intended to show
the colored farmers the advantages to
be had from diversification of crops.
There was also a stock exhibition.
The midway attracted large crowds;
there were many different kinds of
rides and shows. It was related by
a reliable source of information that
the Auburn boys had a tendency to
visit a show called the "Whoopee
Girls" more than any other attrac­tion.
The band has attended the Opelika
fairs for the past several years.

union for mutual beenfit those men
in the profession of eelctrical engi­neering
who, by their attainments in
college or in practice, have manifest­ed
a deep interest and marked ability
in their chosen work.
Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu was
established at Auburn in 1920. Two
elections are held each year; in the
fall seniors are chosen, and in the
spring only juniors are elected.
The officers of Xi Chapter are:
Thome Winter, president, J. D.
Neeley, vice-president and C. E.

Monday night, October 21, 1929 at
7:30. There will be a discussion of
interest to engineers: Be there.
New equipment in the metallo­graphy
laboratory includes the latest
type of heat-treating furnaces. A
"Humph" electrically heated furnace,
capable of temperatures as high as
1800° Fahrenheit, has just recently
been installed. This furnace is to be
used in the graduate work in metal­lography,
a course started only a year
ago, and consisting mainly of the
study of the crystal formations in
various metals. Included with the
furnace is an intricate temperature
recording device which accurately re­cords
the temperatures during opera­tion,
thus facilitating very precise
study of the effects of heat treatment
of metals.
Original equipment consists of a
polisher designed by Professor Hixon,
and constructed with the aid of other
members of the department. There is
also a microscopic camera for taking
pictures (photo-micrographs) show­ing
the crystalling structure of met­als.
Professor Hixon stated that much
work has been done for various com­mercial
concerns in the state, who
have sent samples of metals for ex­amination.

The Alabama Farmer, departmental
periodical from Ag Hill, published by
the Student's Agricultural Club each
month will open the present scholastic
year with the initial issue late this
week, according to staff members in
charge. Due to delayed organization
resulting from the rush of registra­tion
and starting of classes, this first
issue is appearing several days late,
the regular time for distribution
being not later than the 10th of each
scholastic month.
The present issue for October is
featuring the care of forest resources,
stressing the value of trees to the
farmer and the pressing need for
their care. Other valuable informa­tion
is carried in various feature ar­ticles
pertaining to forage and winter
cover crops, field selection of seed
corn, Farmer's Week at Auburn, the
Ag Fair, and various other items of
general interest to farmers and stu­dents.
Plans are well under way for mak­ing
this year's "Farmer" the best in
the history of the publication; this
marks its tenth year. Following
numbers will feature certain out­standing
phases of farm work and in­terest.
A new policy of the paper
this year is to include more short
articles carrying concise facts and
news of general interest; this will be
at the expense of the number and
length of feature articles carried
heretofore. This revision is made in
an effort to widen the interest of
the paper.
A circulation drive, under the di­rection
of R. E. Martin, circulation
manager, is now under way which is
expected to swell the distribution of
the publication beyond former rec­ords.
Victor Savage, Jr., and A. L.
Morrison are editor and business
manager, respectively.

—commends the freshmen who erased
the paint marks on the main street
Sunday evening. It took more nerve
to remove them than to put them there.

Honor Frats
Can Do Much
In this era of progress when everything
and everybody is steadily advancing for­ward
one of the worst possible things a
person or institution can do is to rest on
their laurels. Such a thing of remaining at
a standstill, of failing to utilize the time
so as to establish ourselves more firmly
in our little section of the world is out
of date. Any one attempting to do this
must inevitably wake up to find out that
the world has gone on; it does not take
twenty years to make a modern Rip Van
Winkle. Eeither we advance or we fall
behind; there is no such thing as standing
still.
Yet it seems as if a number of groups or
societies in Auburn, on whose rolls are in­scribed
the names of those men who are
generally conceded to be the most out­standing
personalities on the campus, have
reached the point where, being firmly in­trenched
in the minds of all as the lumi­naries
of the school, are attempting to rest
on their laurels. Instead of looking around
together and attempting to improve con­ditions
on the campus, the honor societies
persist in fighting among themselves and
failing to cooperate with each other. Petty
quarrels are pushed to the front and the
important main issues are shunted aside
for those matters which really matter so
little. They evidently fail to realize that
cooperation is the basis for all progress.
It is merely another case of "United we
stand, divided we fall." Why not all ge"t
together and stand?
There are many things here that could
be done if these societies only cared to
open their eyes and do them. What about
a score board for the football field, a cup
for the promotion of scholarship, plaques
or paintings for the walls of the buildings,
a memorial or so? A score of such items as
these could be written down, things which,
although not absolutely necessary, are,
nevertheless, needed. It seems to us that
the honor societies are missing a very fine
chance to make themselves useful about
the campus; they must not allow them­selves
to be merely another means of ad­ding
a key to the proverbial chain.
One of the finest things that could be
done by the honor fraternities at this time
would be to meet and make a close analy­sis
of the existing conditions and formulate
some plans for making them better. It is
not a question of letting someone else work
but one of getting busy.
Activities Note
Laxity In Interest
Classes have been going on for more
than a month, and we can look around at
this time and get some idea of how things
are progressing, particularly of the inter­est
in activities. We have been led to be­lieve
in many instances that interest is not
as high this year as in those preceding.
Possibly college life can be divided into
three parts, namely, scholarship, student
activities, and society. If anyone of these
is neglected, the student has missed an es­sential
part of his career. We know of
men who have attended classes for four
years without ever making any meetings
of organizations, a^d without ever think­ing
of college life in its lighter moments.
To them it has been but a monotonous
grind. Scholarship comes first, not in mak­ing
the most brilliant grades, but in obtain­ing
something from study. It is worthwhile
that this be uppermost in the student's
mind as he comes here primarily for that
purpose.
To take part in social activities is also
important. To be able to partake of the
fellowship of one's friends is quite an ac­complishment,
and no better way to de­velopment
one's personality can be found
than meeting people. Society is important
and the student should not forsake it for
study alone. Knowledge can do the world
no good if he who possesses it cannot pass
it on or make use of it.
Student activities are very important in
that they are the means of developing one's
ability along lines not .in the regular clo-lege
course. Societies bring to light things
being done throughout the world, but
which the" college cannot give; they cause
students to take an interest in things that
otherwise they would not; the potential
ability becomes real through association
with' student-conducted societies and other
organizations on the campus.
We hope that more interest will be
shown by the students in the various
phases of college life. It is not well that
there should be complaints concerning the
support accorded them, as they form part
of a career. We want to see more interest
manifested.
Football Gains In
Wealth And Favor
It is not a good time just now, in the
South at least, where native football teams
are forging to the front, to decry the ten­dency,
nevertheless when a football discus­sion
is started by so distinguished a citizen
as Chief Justice William Howard Taft, of
the United States Supreme Court bench,
the country nlust follow it up. In a maga­zine
interview the Chief Justice is express­ing
concern over the fact that college ath­letics
have become more or less of a busi­ness
proposition. He feels that the Stadium
is overshadowing the class room and the
interest of the student body in the average
college is centered more on how the team is
coming out than it is on what they are get­ting
out of their courses. College athletics,
Mr. Taft believes, have a dollar sign be­fore
them. Many colleges have professional
athletic business managers, they have a
highly-developed publicity service, they
have coaches receiving salaries running
into five figures and there is a suspicion
that in some cases there is a fund avail­able
to pay the way through college of stu­dents
of athletic prowess.
And as a pure business proposition foot­ball
yields dividends a plenty. Take for ex­ample
the past season. Here are the fig­ures
for certain of our large institutions
of learning:
Gross Income: Yale, $1,033,211.98; Har­vard,
$845,311.31; Princeton, $413,620.00';

And even in the smaller colleges it is
generally understood that football receipts
are expected to pay the deficit in other
sports such as baseball, hockey and track.
College football is a money-maker. Inter­est
in it is by no means confined to the
college. All of this is proper in itself. The
danger is that students lost their sense of
proportion. After all the real purpose of
going to college should be to acquire
knowledge.—Charlotte Observer.
Prexy's Paragraphs

Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Editor,
I was a spectator at the rat football
game between Southern and Auburn and
saw something which,I knew, and many
sound-thinking upperclassmen know not to
be representative of the true Auburn Spirit.
Between the halves a great mob of fresh­men
rose from the west stands arose from
the west stands and crossed over to the
east stands to try to force a scattered
group of freshmen in the east stands to
come over to the west ones to help the
other freshmen yell. It was a method,
which in my estimation, was entirely un­ceremonious
and uncalled for. It is true,
those freshmen should have been on the
other side with the others, but what do
you suppose the visitors to the game
thought of the conduct of the large ma­jority
of the Auburn freshmen? Of course,
the freshmen knew no better, but it might
interest them to know that it didn't help
to advance Auburn in the least, and that
it was the old mob spirit that moved them-to
such action rather than the true Au­burn
spirit. Freshmen are supposed to yell
at the football games, but the power to
punish such a misdemeanor is in the hands
of the Vigilance Committee, rather than
in the hands of a crowd of unthinking
freshmen.
Thanking you, I am most sincerely yours,
CHRISTOPHER JUNIUS, ESQ.
The game with Vanderbilt on Saturday
is an important game. We must make a
good showing. I believe the team is getting
down to what is the important thing; name­ly,
team work and unity of spirit rather
than cross purposes and individual ambi­tions.
We are going
to play a team that
has always shown a
fine spirit. I say that
with a lot of pride.
I want Auburn to
show an equally fine
spirit. I am sure that
A u b u r n ' s splendid
spirit has been mani­fest
in the past in
the days of victory. Now the question is
can she manifest the same spirit when she
has stood at the bottom of the list for so
long? Nothing will take us out of that
position except unity of spirit and deter­mination
to see it through. Every fellow
who indulges himself in captious criticism
or who circulates untruthful though sensa­tional,
misinformation about what is going
on here at Auburn is not loyal to Auburn.
I have the finest respect in the world for
honest difference of opinion, but I have no
respect whatever for deliberate falsifica­tion
of what is going on. There are many
reasons why we are particularly in the lime
light. Everybody is watching us. For that
reason, it behooves all of us to go to Bir­mingham
on Saturday with heads up and
with as fine a presentation of solid, sub­stantial,
earnest spirit as was shown on
-last Friday night at Montgomery. I am
mighty glad it is a day time game. I do not
like night football personally. Night foot­ball
may bring larger crowds, but it does
not bring better play. .
Let me therefore urge upon every loyal
student and alumnus and upon every mem­ber
of the team and of the scrubs and of
the fellows who have worked so hard to
bring us victory that we go to Birmingham
determined to play the game with fighting
spirit, with team work, and with the will to
How strange it is that sometimes the few
thoughtless and indifferent bring reproach
upon a large body of people who bear a
good name. I have had two or three letters
lately which have been difficult for me to
read and retain my calmness of judgment.
In some of these letters, the student body
of this institution was severely and relent­lessly
criticized and every one of us brand­ed
with names which I do not want to re­peat
in public, all because a few so far
forgot themselves as to do things which
were improper on one of the trips and, by
the way, this was not drinking either. The
conduct of the student body has improved
wonderfully and I- have no words except
of commendation regarding their control of
the drinking end of their trips. This thing
to which I refer—just little acts of foolish
vandalism and lack of respect for other
people's property which was totally un­called
for and unworthy of the institution.
These few students who did this thing are
exactly like the bad boy in a good family;
they need a good spanking because they
brought reproach upon all the rest of us.
The rule of this institution is going to be
that hereafter we, by which I mean the
99% of us who have self-respect and love
for the name of Auburn, are going to see
that this thing stops. We are going to pay
for the damages to property and we are
going to sit upon these people who bring
reproach to our name and if that doesn't
stop it, then there is another method which
will. Let there be nothing to regret on
the special to Birmingham Saturday.
" L i t t l e T h i n g s"
By Tom Bigbee
Just visit the Opelika Fair one night,
and no longer will you have to ask, "Why
do boys write home so often for money?"
It's all answered in knowing how they "play
the games!" All of which is a natural urge
within the lad that must in some manner
find expression during his development.
Said one stude Wednesday, "If I go to
class tomorrow and find a quiz on the
board, I'm gonna do something desperate—
•I'll just go back to the Opelika Fair an'
join them wild west, Buffalo Bill cowboys,
that's what." No doubt he got a glance at
the fair little dame who rides with 'em.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the
poor little ratesses who are sporting green
ribbons, vari-colored socks, braided hair,
hat boxes and go-long bags over the
campus this week. Boys, it seems that the
coo-eds have it on us when it comes to
ratting.
"Why Have Women's Knees, Once Snap­shots,
Become Time Exposures?" We won­der
about this reality too. Someone an­nounces
that it is due to the wishes of the
masculine gender; in other words, because
they approve of it, and even applaud it.
Just a modern way of man guiding the
weaker sex, mebbe. You know, it takes a
lot of diplomacy to get 'em to yield nowa­days.

RESURRECTING REMINISCENSE
In great surprise we espied
The note from 969,
Telling us that we could trust
His being along the line—
Just waiting still upon the hill
For Auburnites he couldn't find.
He left us here in humble fear
That none could fill his place;
So far, we know we haven't chanced
Upon a Musing face,
And a forlorn thought enters now
Of the doubtful find of a writing ace.
In great. despair we seek the rare—
The thought that once again
The Tiger's roar and colle yore
Will make him take a poetic trend—
That the ghostly ghoul's
Just a modest tool.
To escape the hall of fame—
That the Bardic man
Will wield his hand v
Once more in the rhyming game
And greater than ever his work enshrine
With the name of 969.
—Number 13.

MCDONALD ASKED TO DAVIDSON
The International Relations Club of
Davidson College extended an invitation to
Premier Ramsay McDonald -to visit that
college while he is visiting in the States.
He was asked to address the students of
the college. We think that if the Premier is
supposed to address a group as radical as
ordianry college students, he should at
least go to Russia or some place where he
could do some good.

FLORIDA IS TECH BOUND .
The whole University of Florida was on
the warpath several days ago in an effort
to get a holiday for the Florida-Tech foot­ball
battle. The students, student leaders,
college publication, and some of the faculty
were wholeheartedly working to find some
way to persuade the officials to declare a
holiday so that the college could persum-ably
watch Tech go down in defeat for
the second time this year. It is one of the
first intances this year where the student
body of a school has been so determined in
its purpose. By this time the story has al­ready
been told as to whether or not she
was sorry she was sorry she wanted to see
Tech battle her favorite sons.

DON'T WORRY; IT WILL STILL BE
SWEET
Cornell University has applied for a pat­ent
for a new and inexpensive process of
making milk sugar, a process discovered
by Dr. Paul Sharp, professor of dairy
chemistry at the University. The process
is said to yield a milk sugar not formerly
used on the market, which may be sub­stituted
for ordinary table sugar.
About the only thing that hasn't been
invented in the past few years is a new
way of making love. Many have tried to
improve on this, but about the only thing
that they have been able to do is to add
many new appliances; the method seems to
remain the same.

A REAL CLUB
Down in Tulane the more enthusiastic
rooters have organized an All-Tulane
Rooters Club. This has as its purpose the
strengthening of school spirit and also the
systematizing of cheering out of a some­times
dazed and disorganized student body.
The students will have someone to direct
their cheering and at the same time there
will be leaders who will built up the Rah-rah
business. The slogan as announced is,
"to weld all Tulane in one football-spirited
body." It will be a fine bit of fine work
if it can be successfully carried out. So
far it has been received very well and is
growing rapidly.

• CHICKENS VS. FROGS
Which is the best? Well, everyone has
his own opinion concerning that, but if you
leave the issue to the students engaged in
taking the poultry course at N. C. State,
the amphibians would not have a chance.
According to reports from that school
almost a thousand are to take a course in
poultry, or possibly a better clue would be
to say they are taking a course in trying
to prevent chicks from becoming sick. That
surely is a job anyway. Possibly if the stu­dents
from the lowlands had their say, the
verdict would be different.

SOME OLD GRADS
Transylvania intends to celebrate the
sesquicentennial. For a century and a half
this college has been educating the young
people of Kentucky. And with the coming
of 1930 great plans have been formulated
to have the biggest celebration in history,
notwithstanding some that have already
taken place within the bounds of the fam­ous
Blue'Grass State. Romance, tragedy,
hallowed memories, progress, evolutionary
stages, have all taken place in the lifetime
of this famous old college. From a small
beginning great things have been accom­plished
here, while many famous person­ages
have passed through her doors of
learning. One mighty building, now more
than one hundred years old, stands as mute
evidence of a glorious past.
But even with thees things to talk about,
we wonder how she is faring today. It
would be quite interesting if the first
graduate should return from the grave and
tell of some of the hair-raising experiences
of old. Possibly ratting started here. After
the Indians had to leave that section, there
was nothing exciting to do, so the poor
freshmen were subjected to the punishment
dished out to the Red Men before they had
to leave.
THOUGHTS IN SILHOUETTE
(\Herr TDiognese ^eufebdrockh
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions express­ed
in this column are not necessarily the
editorial opinions of this paper. It is a
column of personal comment, and is not to
be read as an expression of our editorial
policy.
THE AUBURN Student body is the
world champions when it comes to
refusing to support the team by com­ing
out to mass meetings. The meetings
are held; everyone knows about them and
the time, as they are an institution in
themselves. Most of the fault can be laid
at the upperclassmen's door too, although
the freshmen have developed the habit of
staying away. They must think that they
will become hoarse. This would never do.
We do not intend to upbraid the fresh­men,
but the upperclassmen, as they are to
blame more than anyone else. It is their
duty to see that the freshmen do come out
to the meetings, not to promote some feel­ing
of superiority over them, but to give
them a chance to learn to cheer the team
collectively. I have been at games where
the students were supporting the boys well
enough, but the way it was delivered would
hot have even qualified the participants in
a second class hog-calling contest.
Old graduates say the Spirit that has
been so often discussed is gone, but how
can one expect it to be shown effectively
when the students cannot—do not even
know how to—cheer together? Of course,
the student body is behind the team, but
it is an awfully jagged line. It reminds
me of a poorly drilled unit in one of the
R. O. T. C. reviews—it is all there, but
it is a rotten sight to see.
There is no way for organized cheering
to be delivered except by practice. One
cannot hope to find unison and satisfaction
when there has been no effort to gain that
beforehand.
But do not blame the freshmen alone,
for the upperclassmen certainly show a lack
of ability when it comes to putting forth
some vocal efforts in behalf of the team.
Most of them really sit down and listen
to the few rats present. This is a bad way
for them to act.
Before parting I may say that the lead­ers
should see about getting a little variety
in their talks. In fact, they should first
get something to say. Instead of the usual
gag which is so putrid it dazes the audience,
the leaders might try getting something
into their cheering. A few yells are given
when really the students need to be talked
to. Much more interest can be worked up
by a good sincere straight-from-the-shoul-der
talk than by all the wild Indian war-whoop
stuff. They might try something
else; there is everything to gain and noth­ing
to lose; they cannot be much worse.
* * * * *
THE SUNDAY movie question is still
before the town, waiting somewhat
impatiently, it seems, to be settled.
The co-columnist has tried in some measure
to enlighten the public regarding this is­sue,
telling it at the same time that it
would not amount to much in the long
run. Possibly he is right, but if the town
would forever settle the question, there
would be no further concern in the minds
of the students.
The simplest way for the matter to be
considered is for the residents to vote; this
would prove the best and only safe means
of reaching a suitable solution. I cannot
understand why the officials do not work
with that in view rather than attempting to
pull the wool over the eyes of the citizens
by delaying and trying to forget the matter.
* * * * *
AUBURN has reached a point in the
.football season when a victory is
greatly desired. Other colleges are
having their ups and downs, but this school
is having downs mostly. I cannot under­stand
the reason for not being able to win
one now and then. All the schools are
making progress in the athletic world; so
is Auburm but not nearly so fast apparent­ly.
It is time something is done. I do not
mean to be radical with that statement,
but merely suggesting that the team fight,
aided by the students and the friends of the
college. If this can be done, surely Auburn
can win some games.
Football success has come to mean a
great deal to a college. In fact, it is almost
the life of the school itself. Students no
longer go to learn something alone, but for
a four years' vacation from the affairs of
existence. This vacation ruins some and
makes some, but it still remains a vacation,
by far the most popular in America today.
A student does not want to go to college
where there is no great football team, and
can you blame him? Certinly not. It costs
no more to attend an institution where
football glories are a reality and not a tra­dition.
Football is a great thing; it is re­ceiving
more publicity and consideration
today than ever before.
Get the sun in your face and the shadows
fall behind yon.

TO ONE WHO SCANTS WORDS
Love me, my dear, and tell me that
you do—
I have not all your steadiness to guide
My wayward heart. My mind will
question so.
My faith cries often to be fortified.
Are love and passion one? How can I
know?
Your lips, responsive, ask for my
caress.
You say that words are halting mes­sengers,
That silences be fraught with ten­derness.
But little words are fair to one who
loves.
A song accompanied is sweetly true.
Let simple phrases still my question­ing-
Love me, my dear, and tell me that
you do.

For a sign and warning clings
A little dust.

contradicted by the University of

a biography of Anthony Mundy, Eli-zamethan

anything great, but who wrote so pro-lifically
that his life and works are
of value for the interesting sidelights
they cast upon the sixteenth eentury.
The author is Celeste Turner, who

Wednesday, "The College Co­quette",
a college picture that is dif­ferent,
is here. Ruth Taylor, a college
vamp, succeeds in revamping all of
the college heroes and a n atheltlc
coach besides. The coach takes it seri­ously
until Ruth is linked in a terrible,
scandal. She is then deserted,. After
serous controversies they manage to
settle matters but npt until a great
many things have happened. In addi­tion
to a good plot, there is a theme

"A Dangerous Woman," featuring
Baclanova and Clive Brook plays

read, "The Single Standard", by
Adela Rogers St. John will grasp the
opportunity of seeing i t on the screen.
It Is the most discussed picture of the
day because it treats the theme of
single standard in the most realistic
way possible on the American screen.
If you like Greta Garbo, Nils Asther,
or John Mack Brown you can see
them Friday in the best picture they
have made yet. Nils Asther, as the
artist and world traveller, is Greta's
paramour. Johnny Mack Brown is
the faithful husband. Asther and his
admirer go off on a very unconven­tional
voyage that takes in the South
Seas and other suitable loving terri­tories.
He, mind you, decides that it
isn't just the thing to do so he turns
around and brings her back. The girl
marries Brown and they have a happy
home. Not for long, however, for-
Asther returns from a long voyage.
The pair of lovers strive vainly to
resist one another. Her husband finds
out, and you have a very delicate sit­uation.
The ending is entirely realis­tic,
which by the way is rare in these
days.

OHIO STATE GIRLS FAVOR
SMOKING
By a vote of 32 to 28, co-eds living
at Oxley Hall, at Ohio State Univer­sity,
decided to allow smoking in that "
dormitory.
Mrs. E. E. Prout, Oxley Hall house
mother, opened the meeting by declar­ing
too many upperclassmen smoked
to excess. She deplored the habit, but
agreed the matter should be decided
by a vote of the girls living in the
hall.
Following the triumph of the women
smokers, these rules were adopted:
1. Women who smoke must furnish
tin waste paper baskets.
2. They may not smoke in the par­lors
or the dining rooms.
3. They must provide themselves
with lighters instead of with maches,
owing to fire hazards.
4. They must smoke behind the
closed doors of their rooms, to keep
the odor from pervading the clothes
of the girls who do not approve of the
habit.

ROGERS EXPLAINS REASONS FOR
TELLING SENIORS TO BE SNOBS
Cambridge, Mass.—(IP)—What he
meant when he advised the graduat­ing
class of Massachusetts Institute
of Technology to "be snobs", was ex­plained
by Professor Robert E. Rog­ers,
of the M. I. T., in an article pub­lished
in the Technology Review, M.
I. T. alumni magazine, for July.
In. his article, "Be a Snob", Pro­fessor
Rogers, who is editor of the
Review, said:
"On the evening of Saturday, June
1, I spoke to the senior class of Tech­nology
at their last dinner together,
I spoke impromptu, and with my usual
freedom, letting the chips fall where
they might, on "The necessity of
Being a Snob." So far as I knew
there were no reporters present. A
senior class dinner is usually of no
news value. But there was a report­er
present, and a good one, too. The
result you are probably all aware of.
So far as I can make out I rated the
front page for a day or two in most
of the newspapers of the United
States, as well as editorials, special
articles and letters to tRe press. As
one graduate wrote me, " I have never
seen M. I. T. mentioned so much since
I graduated."
For the past weeks I have been re­ceiving
hundreds of letters. A great
many Technology men have thought­fully
written me, enclosing clippings
so that I can gauge pretty well the
geographical distribution of the story.
It is literally nation wide. When the
letters began to come the reactions
were almost mathematically fifty-fif­ty
of praise and blame. Since then,
the letters have swung strongly tow­ards
approval, particularly from
k Technology men, from educators who
have sensed exactly what I meant, and
from people whose letter head, 'style
of writing, and so on, show them to
be professional men, employers of
labor, men of substance in their com­munity.
A surprisingly small number
have been downright abusive, pro­fane,
and indecent, and in those the
quality of letter paper, the ortho­graphy,
and grammar indicates that
the writers do not matter.
One reaction Is of interest. . .
A member of the Boston school com­mittee
took occasion to spread him­self
on the records to the effect that
I had disgraced the name of Rogers
in violating the principles of the
founder of the institute. A few days
later a relative of William Barton
Rogers very kindly wrote me an open
letter setting the gentleman right
about President Rogers' antecedents,
mode of life, and ideals, and assuring
him that William Barton Rogers
would have approved. Later I learn­ed
that the school committeeman was
on record as having objected to set­ting
up special classes for brilliant
students in the Boston schools, on
the ground that in a democracy there
was no place for an aristocracy of
brains. The entire episode is a per­fect
comment on what I was trying
to say.
The whole controversy centers, of
course, around the word snob. In
dealing with Institute men I have al­ways
found it desirable to be pointed,
specific and extreme in my language,
on the ground that one makes allow­ance
in shooting at a mark in a high
wind. It does no good to look up the
dictionary definition of Snob, or that
popularized by Thackery. In Ameri­ca
the word Snob in universal popu­lar
use means, "one who thinks him­self
better than the average and be­haves
on that assumption," which
means that any appearance of su­periority
will call forth that epithet
from people who know no better.
With that definition in mind I
stand by my guns. I want Technolo­gy
men to remember that each one
of them is the sole survivor of one
hundred boys who started in the pub­lic
school system with them and drop­ped
off. I want them to remember
that each one of them represents the
enormous amount of money, time,
energy and patience spent on him.
They should, obviously, represent an
intellectual aristocracy.
The American world of the man in
the street is increasingly a world of
vulgarity and low ideals in speech,
manners, taste and ideas. Advertise­ment's
show that without question.
It is very easy to be submerged in
that world. And the college man
seems almost to make a point of be­ing
submerged in that world as com­pletely
and quickly as possible, as if
he were afraid of being recognized
as being in any way different or su­perior.
One is moved to exclaim with
Percy Marks, "If you are the cream,
God help the skimmed milk!" And
if the college men are not the cream
of the community, then our education­al
system has failed.
I said this to a' Technology crowd,
simply because I knew Technology
CITY OF LIGHT APPEARS IN
HEART OF NEW YORK CITY
A city of light has suddenly ap­peared
in the heart of New York
City. This city, which is officially
known as the Westinghouse Lighting
Institute, occupies the entire seventh
floor of the Grand Central Palace,
New York City. This permanent in­stitute
is for the advancement of the
art of modern lighting and is under
the auspices of the Westinghouse
Lamp Company.
completely furnished Colonial type
home is located on the cross street.
When one stops to consider that
this permanent exhibition occupies
40,000 square feet, or an entire city
block, some idea of the size can be
visualized. It is to this gigantic __ per­manent
experimental laboratory that
the scientists, engineers, architects,
designers, and all others interested in
electrical art will come for the solu­tion
of their lighting problems,
whether it be in their homes, offices
of technical schools and colleges,
lighting engineers and public utility
men, and also for the members of
scientific and engineering organiza­tions.

In this institute, the public will
find a full-sized street 180 feet long,
and 20 feet wide, and a cross street
85 feet in length. Both of these
streets have all the characteristics of
any city street. There can be found
everything to meet the business and
social requirements of the average
small town,—a department store,
bank office and industrial buildings,
florist and other shops, combination
service and gas-filling station, school,
modern home, art gallery, and
theatre or auditorium large enough
to seat about 300 persons. The
street's unigue lighting system will
be used to demonstrate proper high­way-
lighting as this particular street
can be lighted with 20 different de­grees
of intensity. Traffic signals

in the great meetings and elsewhere,
a distinct increase in loudness, bad
manners, vulgarity and baseness of
speech and bearing. I am inclined to
think that this is true in our colleges
everywhere. I have observed it at
Harvard as well, but it affects me
more intimately and painfully at
Technology. I am reluctantly forced
to the conclusion, however, that at
Techlonogy the dormitories are foster­ing
this evil instead of helping to
eliminate it. Some of the unpleasant
phenomena on notices in recent Tech­nology
undergraduate life did not
exist when t».ere were no dormitories.
A certain proportion of pur men
who go out every year, have literally
not the slightest conception of what
the word "gentlemen" means, The
word gentleman does not primarily
have to do with goodness of heart,
ethics and the like. A good man, a
good citizen, is not necessarily a
gentleman, The word gentleman is
a matter of manners( taste and good
breeding, A fine engineering mind
may be disastrously handicapped by
the manners of a rough-neck and a
low brow, A less fine mind may be
carried to desirable success by the
right kind of manners, those that at­tract
influential people. One Har­vard
sneer at my tjalk was that you
can't make a synthetic gentleman.
You can! Harvard.does it every day.
And it works. I only wish that Tech- j
nology would get hold of the recipe
and try it out.

SAYS COLLEGE IS A HANDICAP
FOR MEN ENTERING BUSINESS
Princeton, N. J.— (IP)—For a
young man planning to enter business
as a career, a college education is a
four-year handicap, according to
Floyd L. Carlyle, prominent business
man and himself a college graduate.
In an interview in the Daily Prince­ton,
Carlisle, who is head of F. L.
Carlisle & Co., Inc., New York Bank
ers, said:
"From my experience the average
college man enters business late. The
most formative period of his life, from
18 to 22 or 23, is spent in a place
where he acquires lazy habits of think­ing.
A university cannot produce in
men the drive that business gives
them. They are not required to work
rapidly and accurately and life is
easy and soft for them. The back­bone
of business today is the rapid
absorption of details and there is
nothing in college that trains a man
to this ability."
Carlisle was graduated from Cor­nell
in 1903.
Auditorium at the Lighting Institute
This auditorium, measuring 60
feet by 46 feet, is built to accommo­date
those who attend the various lec­tures,
demonstrations, talkies and
movies given there. Overhead light
ing fixtures are used to illustrate all
types of lighting, and are capable of
building up an intensity of 100 foot-candles.
The stage is exceptionally
well equipped, being controlled by a
10 scene pre-set Westinghouse switch­board.
In another section of the Institute
is found a model school room, having
accommodations for thirty-five peo­ple.
It shows what hardly exists to­day;
that is, the proper illumination
on blackboard spaces, together with
a modern general and unit system of
ventilation. This room is also ar­ranged
for illustrating artificial day­light,
The art gaflery of the Institute has
many unequalled methods of illumi­nation.
In this room will be demon­strated
a newly developed lens prin­ciple
which permits the lighting equip­ment
to be recessed on structural sur­faces.
With this system, light goes to
higher intensities and can be used
in the operating rooms of a hospital
where it is easily possible for a quali­fied
surgeon to perform a major
I operation under the unglaring, high-intensity
light demonstrated here,
which functions without the least dis­comfort
to the eyes of the surgeon
or others in the room assisting him.
in regard to the pressing of R. O. T.
C. uniforms. This is an important
matter since the neatness and proper
wearing of the uniform have such a
marked bearing on the general ap­pearance
and high standing of the
R. O. T. C. unit.
After conference with the laundry
authorities the following arrangement
and schedule has been made:
a. All students having classes on
Wednesday deliver trousers to laun­dry
Tuesday beginning 12:00 Noon.
They will be ready for delivery that
afternoon. Students must call for
them at the laundry building.
b. Students having classes on
Thursday deliver trousers to laundry
Wednesday. Ready for delivery Wed­nesday
afternoon. Students must call
for them at the laundry building.
c. Students having classes on Fr-U
day deliver trousers to laundry on
Thursday. Ready for delivery Friday
afternoon. Student must call for
them at the laundry building.
A charge of ten cents per pair for
trousers "will be made for pressing.
This is in addition to the regular
laundry fee.
The laundry can operate this sche­dule
permanently. Following the first
week of operation both coats and
trousers will be received for pressing.
Charge for pressing both garments
will be fifteen cents.
The. above plan permits the mem­bers
of the unit to attend all classes
and drills in neatjy pressed uniforms.
R. O. T. C. students are requested
to adhere to the above schedule in
order to avofd congestion on any par­ticular
day.
Uniforms For Juniors
A telegram has been received from
Pettibone Brothers stating that all
made to measure uniforms an4 spe­cial

RED CROSS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED
WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Addressing an audience at Har­vard
last Summer, an official of the
American National Red Cross " ob­served
that multitudinous forces were
striving continuously to penetrate
the surrounding walls of the coun­try's
educational system, to impress it
in some way, influence its trends, or
utilize it otherwise.
The fact that these well springs of
education are so guarded makes it
especially significant that the Ameri­can
Red Cross is accepted at increas­ingly
numerous points of contact be­tween
its services and those of edu­cational
b o d i e s and institutions
throughout the nation.
This association of the Red Cross
with the nation's educational pro­grams
begins with earliest school
years, and flourishes Jn the highest
institutions. It ranges through a va­riety
of Red Cross services of intense
practicality.
Today, in Physical Education de­partments
of leading universities, the
American Red Cross course in Swim­ming
and Life Saving; and First Aid,
is standard. Some of these courses
originally were conducted by Red
Cross representatives, and are now
continued under experts trained and
qualified according to Red Cross re­quirements.
Some qf the best instruc­tors
in these subjects who have served
on the Red Cross staff formerly were
college athletes, members of swim­ming
teams, crews, etc.
Women's colleges not alone have
adopted the Red Cross courses in
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick;
and Nutrition, but many give credits
for completiqn, including extension
credits to teachers who take these
courses.
Summer courses in the funda­mentals
of Junior Red Cross admin­istration
were given the past Summer
at 197 State universities and normal
schools. The Junior Red Cross
"credit course" was given this year
at Tochers. College, Columbia Uni­versity,
New York; George Peabody
Institute, Nashville, Tenn.; Univer­sity
of Wisconsin, and University of
California.
Another Red Cross summer course
in the atmosphere of a center of high­er
learning was affordecj at the Uni­versity
of North Carolina, where Red
Cross Representatives gave First Aid
instruction, first to a Police Officer's
group, which so impressed the heads
of the institution as to lead them to
request special lectures to a class of
athletic coaches, composed of stu­dents
from nine states.
These university contacts of the
Red Cross are fitting cap-stones to
foundations laid in the primary
grades, and extending through high
school and preparatory years, modi­fications
of the aforementioned Red
Cross courses being used, with credits
granted by a number of schools for
completion.
The combination of infusion of
ideals of service with practical in­struction
enabling the individual stu­dent
to fender such service in a ma­terial
as well as spiritual sense, makes
the appeal of the Red Cross. It leads,
as the student matures, to a deeper
interest frequently exemplified in
community service in later life. Here
too, the Red Cross stands ready, its
local Chapters the medium for such
service.
Strength of Red Cross activities is
measured by general Red Cross mem'
bership, enrolled annually from Nov^
ember 11 to 28.
GIRLS SHOULDN'T WORK
New York City—(IP)—Working
one's way through college is about
the surest way for a girl to assure
herself a nervous breakdown, accords
ing to Dean Virginia Gildersleeve, of
Barnard College.
It is better for the average girl to
stay away from college than to try to
work her way through, the Barnard
Dean says,
"It is practically impossible for all
except a very few unusual women to
work their way through college with­out
serious injury to their health or
their academic standing! or both,"
she said in her annual report to the
president of Columbia University,
The ideal manner for the poor or
moderately poor girl to go through
college is for her to get a scholarship
or borrow the money, the Dean said.
As women's jobs pay less money
than men's Dean Gildersleeve said,
women's colleges should offer more
scholarships.

Windell Discusses
Life On Broadway
In College Humor
"You cannot tell everything you
know about the Broadwayfarers who
thrive by their wits and rackets,
but you may record their amazing
stories," begins Walter Wi'nchell in
the November issue of College Hu­mor.
"Broadway is chockful of them,
and only the libel statutes keep the
Main Stem historians from jotting
down all the facts."
"There's the vastly amusing story
about J. J. Shubert, the producer,
who was once annoyed watching a
Shakespearean revival because the
famous bard 'had lifted too much
stuff! Mr. Shubert decided to pro-
-duce a piece written by an Eastern
college man. At the second rehearsal
when a player uttered, 'I am Omar
Khayyam!', Mr. Shubert jumped from
his rear row orchestra chair and
called out: 'Just a minute. That
should read "I am Omar of Khay­yam!"
'
" 'But', exclaimed the actor, the
director and the rest of the company.
" 'Don't but me,' cried the pro­ducer.
'Do as I say!'
"And so the actor read it, 'I am
Omar of Khayyam!'

"The next day the author sat with
Shubert to see how the rehearsals
were getting on. When he heard the
revised line, he let out a roar. Then
he told Shubert what he thought of a
management that would permit such
an error in a show. Shubert begged
the playwright to soft pedal his re­marks
and say nothing to the cast.
'I'll fix it,' J. J. said, not a little em­barrassed
when he realized that it
was not the name of a town, but a
man's name.

J. M. Flagg Discourages
Arts Courses in College
New York City—(IP)—Colleges are
no place for art students, according
to James Montgomery Flagg, well-known
illustrator, who recently set
forth his views on the matter in a
letter to the editor of the New York
Times.
Such a statement, says Mr. Flagg,
is difficult to explain to the layman.
"Nevertheless," he continues, "No
general course can be set for every
art student, because no teacher knows
what is best to develop in each stu­dent.
The very nature of his talent,
supposing he has any, is elusive even
to himself, until he has studied for
some time. Sometimes his studying
takes the dreadful form of loafing—
which is possibly only seeming. Cur­iously
enough he may be absorbing,
observing the phenomena of life,
translating them into form and color
in his mind, learning to see what oth­ers
are blind to, philosophizing, lov­ing,
lusting, drinking, dispairing,
hoping, enthralled in ecstasy, being
generous, being selfish, hating, sym­pathizing,
dying and being born again
the next morning, learning to control
his feelings—this usually is the most
difficult lesson of all, an artist being
a person with an exalted conscious­ness—
all this is preparation for his
life.
"Where does a place with rules and
regulations come in in these years?
It doesn't. It would crucify him, atro­phy
his enthusiasm, standardize him.
I believe an art student should have
a high school education and then
plunge into art study. That does not
prevent his reading omniverously."
Flagg says that when he finished

Of course there are many reasons
why Dr. Bradford Knapp, President
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
is keenly interested in Sports at Au­burn,
but from a glance at the follow­ing
article, one reason can easily be
seen.
This article was written by Verner
M. Jones, and appeared in the Nash­ville
Banner January 24, 1913:
The movement in local educational
and industrial circles to secure for
Nashville the Knapp School of Coun­try
Life and Demonstration Farm,
suggests some interesting reminis­cences
of local Vanderbilt men who
were well acquainted with Bradford
Knapp, who now heads the great work
established by his father as the chief
of an important department of the
Agricultural Department at Washing­ton,
and.who was one of the pioneer
football celebrities at Vanderbilt.
Among Mr. Knapp's classmates here
may be mentioned Charles C. Trabue,
Thomas H. Malone, Jr., and Robert L.
Burch, while Thomas Kittrell was a
contemporary and played tackle on the
Varsity along with Mr. Knapp.
"According to these gentlemen, Mr
Knapp ranked along with Ben San­ders,
Horace Bemis, Elliot Jones and
Holmes Hardin, original Commodore
gridiron celebrities. He is said to have
possessed grit, determination and an
intelligent knowledge of what there
was known of the game at that day
when there was no coach except the
captain, no trainer at all and no inter­collegiate
athletic, association. Some­what
lacking in heft he is stated to
have more than counterbalanced this
discrepancy by agility added to other
qualities mentioned. In those days of
flying wedges and heavy mass plays,
line work was much more strenuous
than today when the great bulk of
the plays are directed around end or
off tackle. In addition, that awful
force of interference in vogue then
is now forbidden in the interest of
reducing injury and opening up play.
Probably the roughest game ever
played locally, or anywhere else, for
that matter, was that between Van­derbilt
and Washington University of
St. Louis at Athletic Park in the fall

Younger Generation
Believes In Divine
Right Of Splendor
"In my six months' tour of colleges
and universities," writes Vachael
Lindsay in the the November College
Humor, "I noted among the students
and young professors a tide that is
rising, the Cavalier spirit in a 1929
39 form.
"Our younglings believe in the di­vine
right of splendor, neither the
splendor of kings nor of Babbits, but
the splendor of their own sense of de
sign, and the divine right to choose
and put on their own pageants, to
give Maypole dances and elect their
own queen of May.
"They believe in freedom in choice
of religion more than any other one
group of citizens of the United States,
and a typical committee Tor a Wash
ington's Birthday celebration of dis
tinction and even grandure may be a
Catholic, a Christian Scientist, a Jew,
a Unitarian and a kid from Chicago
still ballyhooing about Ingersoll
watches and Robert G. Ingersoll. But
they work in harmony and friendship
to the end of achievement this new
splendor, which challenges and des
troys the Babbitts, who are their
own blood fathers.
"And they hate above all the caste
system, temporarily created by Bab
bitt, which puts the business man
above the artist in every field of life.
Their form of Americanism would
put the born artist above the whole
business system of America and keep
him there, with his heel on the neck of
Babbit, whatever the blood or stock
or race or family history of the ar­tist.
• If that is a cast system, they
have indeed a cast system.
"They are not Cavaliers in the sense
in which Cavaliers of old England
fought Cromwell and Milton. Quite
the contrary. If Cromwell or Milton
should appear, they would follow him
and sing with him to the death. They
hate the little cowards and will fol­low
the bold and gallant spirits wher­ever
they find them.
"And they are brilliant, dashing,
decorative, always on horseback in
Cavaimagination, and in that sense
they are Cavaliers."
to be part of a system—an inmate of
an institution."
of 1890. The list of "kilt, wounded
and missing" is said to have been
heavier than in some of the engage­ments
of the civil war, several suffer­ed
fractured legs and arms, and more
than one man lay in the hospital for a
long while as the result of the heated
compact of green men without special
training and playing what was un­doubtedly
the roughest game known to
man, the same being the crude foot­ball
of that period.
"Brad" Knapp was one of the he­roes
of that game as he was of many
others and his name and fame as a
gridiron gladiator—and "gladiator" is
just about right for the requirements
of that period—accrding to Dr. Dud­ley
and others who have followed ath­letics
at Vanderbilt since the early
forties, was one of the All-Timers
when his general efficiency as a stu­dent
and student leader is considered
along with his athletic prowess.
"Further than being merely a foot­ball
man, Knapp stood out as an all-round
type of athlete. He was good
in the heavy and some of the lighter
events in track work and while study
ing law, subsequent to leaving Van­derbilt,
at Ann Arbor, he came within
one point of winning the all-round
athletic medal in the annual field
sports meet at the big Michigan insti­tution.
"He has always retained his interest
in athletics and especially in Vander-bilt's
football matters and he told his
hearers in a speech delivered here
last June as alumni orator at the
Vanderbilt commencement that he had
never failed to scan the sport page of
Friday morning's paper following
Thanksgiving to see how much the
Commodores had put it on Sewanee.
He also stated that he had never fail­ed
to throw up his hat except when
Sewanee happened to slip one over.
Mr. Knapp will naturally visit
Nashville often should the great
Knapp School come here"'as it is here
that his warm personal interests are
to be found and it is naturally his
ardent desire to see located here above
all other places the only institution of
its kind in the world, the one founded
as a monument to, and to perpetuate
the actual work and the memory of
his father. That he is the successor
to his father in this work will mean
that the Agricultural Department will
give special attention to the institu­tion
and its interests as related to
Nashville and this section."
STONE AGE STILL EXISTS
San Francisco—(IP)—Returning
here from an expedition to northern
Australia, W. Lloyd Warner, anthro­pologist,
reported that he had found
the existence of a people of Stone
Age culture on a group of islands in
the Arafura Sea.
The people have no religion, he
said, and they have not yet reached
the stage where they can use bows
and arrows.
"The inhabitants of the Crocodile
Islands," Mr. Warner said, "are the
last stone age people in the world.
They cook their food in holes in hot
rocks. Their only weapon is a stone
headed speer. The women do most
of the work."
OLDEST HUMAN FOOTPRINT
Rhodesia—(IP)—What is believed
to be the oldest human footprint, Jias
been discovered on the banks of the
Limpopo River by Professor Lidio Ci-priano,
of the Italian Research Expe­dition.
The imprint, found in stone, re­veals
that the man who made it must
have been of great stature, with many
ape-like characteristics. The foot had
a big toe which turned out, and a nar­row
heel. It is believed this type of
primitive man was responsible for the
large stone axes found in the Trans­vaal,
which have troubled anthropolo­gists
because they must have been
used by a large handed people.
CARDS UNLUCKY, SHOOTS SELF
Chapel Hill, N. C—(IP)—Harry
Meacham, 21, of North Wilkesboro,
N. C. a summer school student at the
University of North Carolina, was
playing bridge' one day last summer,
and entertained constant ill luck.
"I'm going to shoot the next per­son
who deals me a sorry hand," he
declared, laying a pistol on the table.
He dealt next himself, laid down a
"Yarborough", or hand without a face
card, picked up the pistol, and shot
himself in the right temple. He died
within a few hours.
Cushing Says Million
College Students
Can't Be Wrong
"We have as citizens an army of
college graduates at least as large as
the armed forces of the United States
in the days of the World War," ac­cording
to Charles Phelps Cushing
in the November College Humor.
"They must exert tremendous in­fluence
upon the nation at large.
And looking ahead into next year's
fashions in entertainment, comforts,
manners and morals, I cannot refrain
from quoting from a certain popular
song that'a million college students
can't be wrong.'"
"Has it ever occurred to the minds
of our critics that the large and
steady growth in the number/bf young
people attending college, and the pro­portionately
large outpouring anually
of men and women with college edu
cations, may have some consequences
upon society? A million college stu­dents
today. Can any definite effects
be marged of the pressure of their in­fluence
upon the outside world?
"One of them, in its first glance
aspect merely humorous, is at hand
in a clipping among my notes. Half
a page of advertising from a Sunday
rotogravure section is this Exhibit
A. The picture is of two elegant
young gentlemen whose tinted brown
skins emphasize the whiteness of the
underwear in which they are loung­ing.
The figure in the foreground is
nonchalantly smoking a pipe. The
legend above reads:
"'College Men O. K.'ed It First
(That's because they saw it first)
Now Men Everywhere Agrees About
This New Style Underwear.'"
"Yes that's amusing. But it has
significance, too. Some copywriter
probably gave the advertisement
plenty of serious pondering before he
launched it; and a manufacturer paid
a fat price to get it printed. The
assumption of interest to us is that
the multitude will buy what They
(with a capital T) approve.
We Handle the Best
Meat That Can
Be Obtained
MOORE'S MARKET!
Phone 37
"This same assumption is clear in
recent advertising which features the
choices of collegians in brands of
cigarettes. Aspect's of this copy, too,
are not without humor. But here my
concern with those campaigns is only
to remind you that their cost is stag­gering
and that big advertisers would
not have backed them if the appeal to
the general public had not been
shrewdly calculated.
"The modern college tribe, a million
strong, makes its pressure felt direct­ly
upon our fashions in aparel—but
especially, perhaps, 'upon those in
sports clothes. In many other quar­ters
of the outside world that pressure
counts heavily. Into the best seller
class jumps any model of motor car
which wins this tribe's approval, any
phonograph record which is a campus
hit, any book of fiction or of non-fiction
which becomes a prime favor­ite
with college readers.
"We mustn't forget, either, to
make due mention of those films which
profess to portray the activities of
college life. Hollywood has been pour­ing
millions of dollars into producing
them, all in the faith that the general
public would respond with keen inter­est.
Note this fact as one more tak­en
of wide popular interest in our
colleges."
Rudy Vallee Only
An Idea, Clarage
"There's something terribly pa­thetic
about Rudy Vallee," says
Eleanor Clarage in the November
College Humor. "He doesn't seem
like a live flesh and blood boy, but a
tired automaton that goes through
certain mechanical actions day after
day, without actually realizing what it
is all about. Rudy Vallee isn't a per­son
at all. He's an idea, a New York
idea, a phenomenon that defies ex­planation
or classification.
"He walks in an aura of greatness,
his head filled with the fumes of
fame, his nostrils dilating to the per­fume
of success. You don't feel that
you're talking with a fellow human
when he stops at your table. This is
Rudy Vallee, the clotheshorse, the
Broadway idol, the people's choice."

The telephone grows air-minded
THE BELL SYSTEM has made many
successful experiments in two-way plane
to ground telephone communication. This
new development illustrates how it marches
a pace ahead of the new civilization. It is
now growing faster than ever before.
New telephone buildings are going up
this year in 200 cities. Many central offices
are changing from manual to dial tele­phones.
A vast program of cable construc­tion
is going on.
This is the period of growth, improve­ment
and adventure in the telephone
industry. Expenditures this year for new
plant and service improvements will total
more than five hundred and fifty million
dollars—one and one half times the entire
cost of the Panama Canal.

the offense will greatly increase the
thrills in the game, is the belief of
Edward K. Hall, chairman of the
rules committee.
"Every team," he says, "now can
try anything behind the line of scrim­mage,
take chances, pass, open things
wide, without fearing loss of the
game through one fumble.

HUGH GRANT PRESIDES

zation in which politics was taboo.
To elect officers would be $o bring
on a political battle among the sec­retaries,
so the new club voted to
insure harmony by giving equal rank
to every member. "One of our meet­ings
would be refreshing to some
Washingtonians," Mr. Grant sug­gests,
"We don't even fuss about
where we are to sit at the table."
PROFS ASPIRE BE GOVERNOR
Richmond, Va.— (IP)—Double in­terest
is attached to the campaign
for the governorship of this old state
this fall, first because of the anti-
Smith Democrats of the state have
joined forces with the state's Repub­licans
tinder the political leadership
of Bishop James Cannon, to oppose
the regular Democratic party, and
secondly because the two guberna­torial
candidates each is a college pro­fessor.
Dr. William Moseley Brown, candi­date
on the Anti-Smith Republican
coalition ticket, is a professor at
Washington-Lee university, at Lex­ington,
while Dr. John Garland Pol­lard,
is a professor at William and
Mary College, at Williamsburg, the
second oldest institution for higher
learning in the United States.
The result is the first pre-election
battle for a state office held in Vir­ginia
for many a year. Heretofore,
the only political battles held in this
state were those preceding the reg­ular
Democratic primaries. Nomina­tion
at this primary meant election in
November.
Virginia voted enthusiastically for
Hoover last fall, however, and as a
result politics in the state are all
mixed up.
Never forget that once and for a
whole year you were a ten-year-old
kid yourself.
