L. F. Camp, Club President,
Urges Full Attendance at
Monday Session
The Engineer's Club, in its Febru­ary
meeting on the night of Monday,
February 3, will hear an address by
J. E. Mackie, structural engineer for
the National Lumber Manufacturers
v Association, of Washington, D. C
"The Correct Use Of Lumber in Con­struction"
is the title of the address
to be delivered by Mr. Mackie. The
prominent engineer will base his re­marks
on practical construction
methods and recent scientific data.
Mr. Mackie will point out satisfactory
and economical uses of wood in pres
ent day construction, and seek to
lay down principles that will.prevent
the misuse of lumber as a structural
material.
The meeting will be held at 7 p. m.
in~ the Broun Hall auditorium on the
night mentioned above. It will mark
the second meeting of the largest
club on the campus under the regime
of the newly elected officers. Law
rence Camp, a junior in chemical en­gineering
is the present president of
the organization, having been elected
to this post toward the latter part
of 1929.
President Camp expressed his de
sire to have a record attendance at
this meeting, largely because of the
fact that the speaker of the evening
is one of the nation's most well-known
authorities on the structural use of
lumber, and the fact that his address
will undoubtedly be of inestimable
value to every engineer.
Camp also announced that he and
his colleagues are busy at work form­ulating
plans to make this, the second
year of existence of the Engineers'
Club, a banner one. Many live ac­tivities
are being planned foremost
among which is the observance of an
Engineers' Day, which will be cli­maxed
by the Engineers' Banquet and
Ball.
Committee Chairmen
Appointed By Kiwanis
Successful Year Started by Auburn
Kiwanis Club
Chairmen of committees to serve
the Auburn Kiwanis Club during the
ensuing year have been appointed
by Dr. Roger Allen, president of the
club.
With the selection of these com­mittees
the Auburn Kiwanis Club is
organized and started on a success­ful
year's work. Each committee
will function as a unit of the club,
which has major projects for the
year, Dr. Allen said.
Lieutenant C. P. Townsley addres­sed
the club at the meeting this week.
He is ex-president of the Auburn
Lions Club, and made, during his ad­dress,
several suggestions for im­provement
of Auburn.
Rev. O. D. Langston was welcomed
as a new member of the married
group of the Club, and Dr. W. A.
Gardnes was initiated into the order
of grandfathers.
Lysbeth Fullan
Returns To Auburn
Miss Fullan Returns Home After Tak­ing
Course In New York
Miss Lysbeth Fullan, daughter of
Professor and Mrs. M. T. Fullan of
Auburn, has returned to her home
after completing her coprse as a
dietitian at the Bellvue Hospital in
New York. She was in New York a
year.
Miss Fullan graduated at Auburn
and had experience in teaching be­fore
going to New York. She has not
decided where she will locate.
Junior Ring Committee
Announces Bid Awarded
L. G. Balfour Company
Rings of Class of '31 Will Show
Improvement Over Those
of Past Years
LT. BARTH HOLDS TRYOUTS
Marks First Time Frosh Pistol
Team Organized Here
The formation of a freshman pistol
team here will be conducted this year
by the military department. Officers
of the R. O. T. C. unit expressed the
opinion that by the organization of a
pistol team composed of freshmen,
material w i l l be developed t o
strengthen the varsity team each
year.
Membership in the team is open to
students in the Engineers unit as well
as Artillerymen; until this year, the
pistol team has been composed of ar­tillerymen
alone. It is thought that
by admitting all cadets, a better se­lection
of men can be made.
The first step will be the instruc­tion
of the freshmen, after which
tryouts for positions will be conduct­ed
by Lieutenant Barth, who will be
assisted by members of the varsity
pistol team.
Due to a. shortage of forty-five
caliber ammunition, all firing done
by the freshmen will be done by
twenty-two caliber pistols.
It is uncertain whether or not the
varsity will be able to fire the forty-five
guns, as an attempt will be made
to conserve the supply of these shells
to allow the varsity team to enter
the national shooting matches.
This will mark the first time that
a freshman pistol team has been or­ganized
at Auburn.

Auburn Players Plan
Program For Semester
Short Plays and Biblical Story To Be
Presented By Dramatic Club
After a period of inactivity during
the examination time, the Auburn
Players have started on their second
semester's programs. At the present
time several short plays are being
rehearsed; they will be given some
time in the near future.
The Players are planning to pre­sent
Biblical play within the next few
weeks; it will deal with the life of
Samuel and Peter.
Official of the dramatic club re­port
that the new director, Professor
Shaver, is very popular with the stu­dents.
To Give Repeat Course
In Freshman Chemistry
Professor C. L. Hare announced
that a course in Chemistry 101, first
semester freshman chemistry, will be
given during the second semester.
Students wishing to take this course
are asked to see him in the chemis­try
department offices.
After considering the bids submit­ted
by several concerns, the Ring
Committee has awarded the contract
for the 1931 class rings to the Bal­four
Jewelry Company, Attlebore,
Massachusetts. The '31 rings will
have several improvements over the
rings of the past years, the Ring Com­mittee
announced. These improve­ments
have received the sanction of
Dr. Knapp and the unanimous appro­val
of the Ring Committee and Exe­cutive
Cabinet.
The 1931 class rings can be ob­tained
through any one of the fol­lowing
men: Kelly Sullivan, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon house; T. J. Amison,
Alpha Gamma Rho house, or Fred
Hardy, Sigma Nu hpuse. These men
were appointed by the Balfour. Com­pany
on the recommendation of the
Executive Cabinet which is handling
the distribution of the rings.
Dunstan Asked To
Find Cause Wreck
Wrecking of Turbo-Generator
Set is Referred to Prof.
Dunstan
Professor A. StC. Dunstan, head of
the electrical engineering depart­ment,
has again been called upon by
an insurance firm, this time to dis­cover
the cause of the wrecking of
a turbogenerator set.
Mr. E. E. Turkington, electrical
engineer and turbine expert for the
Associated Factory Mutual Fire In­surance
Companies, of Boston, was
in Auburn Friday morning in confer­ence
with Professor Dunstan con­cerning
the cause of the wrecking of
the set. This wreck presented some
rather unusual features and it has
been very difficult to discover def­initely
the exact cause of the wreck,
according to Professor Dunstan.
Only recently the electrical depart­ment
head was called by an insurance
firm to go to Huntingdon, West Vir­ginia,
to locate a quantity of radium
that had been lost; Professor Dunstan
found the lost metal after several
days searching with his electroscope.
Many problems, similar to these have
been referred to Professor Dunstan.
Seniors Interviewed
By Westinghouse Co.
Howell Van Blarcom Talks to Engi-neers
At A. I. E. E. Meeting
With a view to selecting certain of
this year's Auburn graduates for po­sitions
in the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, two of
the Company's representatives visited
Auburn Wednesday and Thursday.
They are John Gelzer of Atlanta,
district manager of the industrial de­partment,
and Howell Van Blarcom,
of the personnel department, Mans­field,
Ohio. While here they inter­viewed
many prospective Auburn
graduates.
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Van
Blarcom delivered a talk to the senior
class on the opportunities offered by
the Westinghouse Company to college
graduates.
On Thursday at 9 o'clock, Mr. Van
Blarcom spoke to the members of
the A. I. E. E. on "What Makes a
Man's Career Successful." He said
that competency, environment, and
experience were the factors that
made a successful career. Under
competency, he placed native intelli­gence,
personal aptitude, and per­sonality,
stressing personality. He
clearly explained all three of the
necessary factors.
Mr. Van Blarcom announced that
hereafter the Westinghouse Company
will give employment each summer
to one outstanding member of the
junior class enrolled in the electrical
engineering course, to be selected by
members of the electrical engineering
faculty. The student must be able to
report for work in June.
Education Club Chooses
A. M. Pearson President
Of Organization In 1930
Recently Formed Society Holds
Second Election of Officers
on Tuesday Night
WEBB IS VICE-PRESIDENT
Rapidly Growing Organization
Now Has Active Member­ship
of 45
Election of officers to the Educa­tion
Club at its regular meeting
Tuesday night resulted in the choos­ing
of the following: Allen M. Pear­son,
president; Hulin H. Webb, vice-president;
Miss Eugenia Smith, sec­retary;
J. D. Alldredge, treasurer;
Victor Savage, Jr., reporter; and G.
R. Holstun, sergeant-at-arms.
At present the Education Club has
an active membership of approximate­ly
forty-five members. It was
founded late in November, 1929, aris­ing
from the efforts of a small group
of education seniors who saw the
need here of such an organization.
From the beginning it has received
the enthusiastic support of the educa­tion
faculty members.
The major purpose of the Educa­tion
Club is to supply information and
training relative to educational en­deavors
which cannot be supplied
within the classroom. Programs are
being planned to carry out this pur­pose.
Although only a minor portion of
the students registered in education
courses have displayed interest in the
club, special efforts will be expended
to reach a larger number this year.
All education students by the officers
are urged to affiliate with the or-ganization.
The retiring officers were: Victor
Savage, Jr., president; W. B. Story,
vice-president; Miss Louise Rowe,
secertary; J. M. Henderson, treasur­er;
W. C. Kelley, reporter; and C. A.
Brogden, sergeant-at-arms.
"Y" Cabinet to Discuss
Term's Work Sunday
Coach Hutsell Reports
Cotton States Tourney
Not Be Held This Year
Meet Abandoned This Year Be­cause
of Ruling of National
Athletic Association
Because the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute desires to conform to the
rules of the High School Association,
President Knapp and Coach Wilbur
Hutsell, who inaugurated the Cotton
States tournament at Auburn nine
years ago, announced that the Cotton
States tourney will be abandoned at
least for this year.
The executive committee of the
National Federation of State High
School Athletic Associations made a
ruling on February 25, 1929 that it
would sanction no more interstate
basketball tourmaments.
The Cotton States meet has determ­ined
the leading prep school teams in
five Southern States for eight years.
Interest has always been very high
as only teams with outstanding rec­ords
were invited to enter.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE RECOGNIZES
PREXY AGRICULTURAL LEADER
By Paul Potter
(Staff of Chicago Tribune)
New days are dawning for farmers
of the sunny southland, and science
will play an increasingly important
role in their advent, if Dr. Bradford
Knapp, president of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, be correct in his
interpretation of the times. Dr. Knapp
is the second in his family to be rec­ognized
as a leader in southern agri­culture.
Dr. Knapp, whose efforts along
many lines are well known in rural
America, especially his educational
work that has led to a vast army
of 4-H club boys and girls, permitted
me to be an interested audience of one
during his recent trip through Illinois.
And his picture of the new south,
which means either competition or
more active markets for products from
north of the Mason-Dixon, is full of
encouragement.
At present, Dixie's cotton crop is
by far its major farm product. This
staple has split the south into east and
west, with western Texas and Okla­homa
spreading new lands into cotton
each year. Industry is coming closer
to its source of raw materials in the
south, with 110 cotton mills in Ala­bama
alone, whose production exceeds
$100,000,000 yearly.
Four Progressive Steps
Four progressive steps have been
taken since the slump that set the
south thirty years behind the north in
farming. They are:
1. The south has "cleaned up" and
is just as healthy as any other region
today. Malaria, typhoid or scarlet
fever, once taken for granted in the
southland, have succumbed to science
and medicine. They are in the past,
Dr. Knapp declared.
2. A revival of education has swept
the south, until today a high school is
within reach of all. This has taken
place within Dr. Knapp's day. Train­ed
engineers and farmers are becoming
recognized, whereas the schooled child
of yesterday was prepared only for
law, medicine or other professional
calling.
3. Development of water power in
the south has unleashed hidden natur­al
forces for the farmer. Nearly 800,-
000 horsepower can now be secured
from six plants in Alabama alone. No
other state except California is so well
situated for a rapid descent from
mountains to the sea. Water has
ceased to be an enemy and is now an

Chrysler Roadster
Damaged By Fire
Fire Department Arrives In Time To
Prevent Complete Demolition
All the upholstering and wiring
was burned off a 1927 Chrysler road­ster
here about seven o'clock Friday
night. According to the owner, B. B.
Sanders, the fire probably started
from defective wiring. The Auburn
Fire department answered the call
and arrived on the scene in time to
prevent the fire from spreading or
doing any further damage to the car.

BAND TO TAKE PART
IN CARNIVAL REVELRY
IN MOBILE ON FEB. 28
Is Sixth Year Auburn Band Has
Participated in t h e Mardi
G r a s Activities
FESTIVITIES LAST 5 DAYS
College Band is One of the Fea­tures
of Carnival in Gulf
City
That the Auburn Band will attend
the Mobile Mardi Gras for the sixth
consecutive year was assured yester­day
when Dr. Knapp announced that
he had given the band permission to
play at the 1930 Carnival celebration.
The band will leave Auburn Feb­ruary
28 to play for the crowds that
assemble in the Gulf City for the
annual merry-making event. During
the five days of revelry the band* will
appear in concert several times and
in each of the five parades.
The band concerts are rendered
from the bandstand in the quaint old
Bienville Square. The square is
luminated at night by thousands of
gayly colored lights hung from the
trees and on the large fountain in
the center of the plaza. The audi­ences
at the concerts sit on benches
under the trees and watch the cos­tumed
revelers parade as they did
in the days when the French occupied
that city. Carnival is a season of
universal merry-making in the Gulf
City, and the Auburn band is an out­standing
feature in the celebration.
In the Mobile Carnival Asso­ciation's
selection of the best bands
available it gave the Auburn band a
prominent position as it has for sev­eral
years. The band members are
invited to many of the social func­tions
during the season of frivolity.
The band is now practicing daily
in order to furnish the revelers the
best in band music. The officials
and members are confident that the
records of past years will be upheld
if not bettered. Much progress has
been made since the practices were
begun for the season, and it is ex­pected
that a band of professional
finish will make the trip this year.
Since its organization in 1892 by
Professor M. T. Fullan the band has
attended many Mardi Gras celebra­tions.
The band has grown from a
drum corps to a famous fifty-piece
organization. Several appearances
were made under Professor A. L.
Thomas, the successor of Professor
Fullan. Making its first performance
in Mobile under Mr. P. R. Bidez, the
present mentor, in 1911, the band
has become increasingly popular in
that city, and is yearly proclaimed
one of the best bands of its kind in
the entire South by-the Carnival rev­elers.
Western Union Co. May-
Employ '30 Graduates
Will Send Representatives to Inter­view
Senior Engineers
As an indication of the good work
that Auburn is doing in the field of
communications, Professor A. StC.
Dunstan has recently received a tele­gram
from the chief engineer of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
asking for a date on which represent­atives
may come to Auburn to confer
with students relative to entering the
engineering department of the West­ern
Union Company.
The date of the visit of the repre­sentatives
has not been announced.
Europeans Interested
In Textile Department
Dr. Knapp Receives Application From
Three Europeans For Positions
Europeans who are trained in tex­tile
engineering are interested in the
textile school here. President Knapp
has received applications from three
Europeans for positions in the Au­burn
school. One from Scotland was
especially attractive, Dr. Knapp said.
By training, experience, and also in
his letter this applicant impressed Dr.
Knapp as being very capable along
various lines of the textile industry.

Students Can Choose
Right Man
There are a number of special awards
and departmental prizes offered to stu­dents.
The most democratic and highest of
all is probably the Blue Key Trophy be­cause
of its scope and value in recognizing
the individual student who has served all
unselfishly.
Students may help a great deal in se­lecting
this man or woman. Nominees may
be from any class in college and clear
cut, definite reasons should be given for
the choice.
Readers of the Plainsman are asked to
give serious thought to this during the
week and place in the hands of President
Knapp all nominations by noon of Feb­ruary
tenth.
Our choice will be of little value if a
hasty selection is made and our nomination
will be of small consequence if we. do not
use considerable forethought. The com­mittee
has given students two weeks in
order to carefully consider and make nom­inations.
At the time of the selection the
six standards should be kept in mind con­stantly
and definite reasons for the choice
be set forth.
Care should be exercised I n making se­lections
and too much emphasis should not
be placed on mere membership in a num­ber
of organizations. If you are not a
member of some organizations with which
you are familiar it is suggested that free
discussion and inquiry be made of mem­bers
and due emphasis be placed on those
who have accomplished most for that or­ganization,
club or fraternity during the
year.
Those holding positions acquired through
politics such as class officers and execu­tives
of clubs and societies should not be
considered too strongly. We should look
to the more lasting and valuable attributes
rather than political victories of fellow
students.
The Radio Is Big
Aid to the Farmer
In many rural districts in Alabama one
will find a "City home," with telephone,
daily mail, water, electric lights and the
radio, while many of those not enjoying
these modern conveniences are within easy
distance of them because of the automo­bile.
The old unsanitary, unwanted condi-.
tions are fast disappearing from the farm.
This has come about because of the new
thought and knowledge that have pervaded
the atmosphere of the agriculturist.
The popularity of the radio is indicated
in a recent statement by the Farm Journal
that American farms now have over two
and one-half million radios, while there
are not that many in all of England or
Germany. France has one and one-quarter
million, while Japan and Argentina each
have only a half-million sets.
The American farm people are not only
enjoying all the entertainment features
which the urban people have, the talks,
news, and musical selections, but in addi­tion
their radios aid them in making money.
Prompt market reports and weather re­ports
are of vital importance to farmers,
and the special farm educational features
put out by the United States Department
• of Agriculture, the agricultural colleges,
and other organizations are helping the
farmers to increase their production while
the costs are rapidly decreasing each suc­ceeding
year.
The seven hundred thousand farm boys
and girls who belong to the 4-H Clubs are
enjoying a special weekly program of clubs
news, instruction, and entertainment. New
ideas are brought to them for greater work
to be done in their clubs with the result
that finer things are to come from this ac­tivity.
With so many special farm features
available to families with radios, it is not
surprising that the number is increasing
by three-quarters of a million yearly. In
the state of Alabama many thousand new
radios are being bought each year by the,
rural families so that the full benefits of
government reports and private research
can be reaped. The economic welfare of
the farmer has been materially inceased
since the radio made its advent.
Hatless Fad Comes In
For Share of Abuse
Since college men are usually credited
with being those who go about the streets
bare-headed and in long-tailed overcoats
they may be interested to learn what the
mayor of the town of Wilkesbarre, Penn­sylvania
thinks of this college-promoted
habit. This man admits that he is a friend
of the hat manufacturers and the sellers,
but he is willing to countenance bare-headedness
in the Summer time. But he
wants to prohibit this fad in the Winter in
his town to such an extent that he pre­sented
a "resolution" to the town council
under "terms of which the hatless boys
would be arrested as insane and duly im­prisoned.
He declared that not to wear a
hat in Winter is an insult to the intelli­gence
of God-fearing citizens.
The council has not acted on the resolu­tion,
and it is not expected to do so. The
opinion of this one man, roused almost to
the fanatical point, will have very little
weight other than to start a ' controversy
over the hatless fad, which will probably be
of exceedingly short duration. The boys
will continue to go hatless just as sure as
the girls will continue to wear a reasonab­ly
short skirt.
We cannot quite understand why one
should become so riled at the younger gen­eration
for doing what it considers best.
THE YOUTH OF TODAY
Young people of this geneation are no
different from those of preceding periods.
Youth, in the opinion of their elders, has
always been on the toboggan and riding to
a fall. Those who fear a breakdown of
society because of the iconoclastic tenden­cies
of boys and girls but proclaim their
inability to keep pace with the procession.
The world and the people in it are in con­stant
motion. Every generation travels at
little greater speed than its predecessor.
Croakings of disaster were heard in the
gay nineties. Parents of today, bowing
their gray heads in despair at the carry­ings-
on of their sons and daughters, should
remember when they themselves stepped
out from under the thumb-screws upon the
great adventure. There were the same pre-monotions
of disaster in the eighties and
the sixties and the "roaring forties." Civi­lization
progresses on stepping stones of
its dead self to higher things. Through
the years the old world travels steadily
upon its appointed course.
A static people cannot vision progress.
Civilization must move constantly forward
or collapse back upon itself. The boy of
yesterday started for perdition upon a
bicycle; the youth of today is doing his
traveling in a powered motor car. The
beaux of the ante-bellum period gave the
belles an airing in a buggy behind old
Dobbin, but they whispered the same old
story under the same old moon. Within the
space of three lives we have moved from
the log cabin in the wilderness to the man­sion
on the hill; from the carry-all of the
planter "to the aeroplane that enables the
business man to fill an engagement several
hundred miles away and return in time to
take wife to the theater.
The business of the world requires con­stant
speeding up. Our young people are
but ful-filling their destinies. They are
rounding the curves on two wheels, but
they are hitting the grades with all six
humming contentedly. We must travel
at their gait or be submerged in the back­wash.
They may not be able to hurl dust
in our eyes, but they can certainly bump
us off the concrete. The good old days
were best only in retrospect. Tomorrow
is certainly going to be the best day of all.
That is the goal toward which all of us
are racing—that tomorrow which will be
moulded under our hands into a perfect
thing.
Have no uneasiness about the younger
generation. Those who compose it are very
well able to take care of themselves. After
the first gallant sprint of the early years
they will steady in the saddle for the long
grind ahead. It has always been so. It
always will be so. There is no difference
between the youth of this generation and
that of the last, except that the latter finds
it increasingly hard to put sufficient push
into the accelerator. The croakers we al­ways
have had with us. Youth runs the
world—with an older hand perhaps upon
the wheel to steady the craft when the
going becomes hard.
Soon this younger generation will be
pointing to the rocks ahead upon which the
youth of tomorrow is about to dash its
giddy brains out.—Charlotte Observer.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
We ought to give
this basketball team
s o m e encourage­ment.
I saw them
play Georgia t he
other night and it
was a goricl game
played against one
of the best teams in
the Southern Con­ference.
Our fellows
fought hard. They showed a lot of ability
and the game was exciting, keen, and ex­ceedingly
interesting. I want all of the
student body to realize that here is a
bunch of our fellows working as hard as
they know how to do the thing that we
want them to do. Let's all get in behind
them and make them feel that we appreci­ate
their efforts.

An expert who is employed by the Brick
Manufacturers of this country called at my
office the other day. I put him in touch
with our engineering faculty. I shall be
quite glad if we can avail ourselves of his
help in some of our engineering instruction.
He seemed willing to give lectures from
time to time. The most significant thing
about his visit though was this: He said
that we had in the two new buildings on
this campus the best built brick walls he
had seen in a long time. He was very high­ly
complimentary of the workmanship on
these two buildings. That was a source
of great gratification.
* * * * *
During this week we have had men in
here from some of the big Engineering
Companies of the country looking over the
seniors. It is an important event. I think
their selection is founded upon two or
three outstanding characteristics:
1. Scholarship, because scholarship af­ter
all shows the mental capacity and in­tellectual
development of the individual.
2. Personality and Native Ability.
These experienced engineers like to look
at a man's face and judge what he is.
3. I think they look a young man over
on the basis of his character and his habits
of thinking. Of course his health counts
for something. The characteristics of our
engineering group here which make men
come and look at them carefully are: The
seriousmindedness of the students. The
average student is here to get an education
and not to fool around with frivolous
things. After all is said and done a good
square-jawed, clean-faced, clear-eyed, well-built
fellow attracts everyone. Those are
the qualities which all of us like. There
is another characteristic which is worth
everything and that is Auburn students
have the reputation of not being afraid of
hard work. They have shown that they
are willing to begin at the bottom and that
they are ambitious to go to the top. They
do not want to have the company put them
in at the top and slide them gently down
to the bottom. The best news I had out
of this particular visit and I am sure it has
happened here often before, is that these
companies choose more out of the senior
class than they intended to choose when
they came. An institution is known by the
quality of the products and we have a
right to be proud of the quality of the
products of this institution.

"Little Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Sighs of disappointment in voluminous
numbers have been issued on the campus
since it was made known that the Monte^
vallo girls will not appear here this week.
Quite a disappointment, to be sure; we
shall now tune in for an announcement of
the later date on which they expect to ap­pear
here. For "variety is the spice of
life," you know—especially when it comes
from Montevallo!
Coming—the Military Ball; which brings
the Senior R. O. T. C. Cadets a chance to
strut. We wonder if they will forget to
call their Captain "Captain" on that occa­sion.
For diplomacy's sake, we have an
idea they shouldn't.
We like this recent movement on the
part of the Blue Keys in their proposed
method of recognizing the outstanding Au­burn
student. And especially commend­able
is the clause that will disqualify the
man who attempts to "politic" for the
honor. This, in our mind, is the ideal way
of conferring such an honojr—for the man
who seeks honor for honor's sake alone,
deserves none.
Prexy's mention of distinguishing
Seniors by some conspicuous apparel de­serves
consideration. Of course we
wouldn't care to drop back and bring up
the ancient tradition of donning caps and
gowns; but the monogram idea, or some­thing
similar, has its appeal. Why not,
Seniors?

MORRELS, VOT ISS
This is part of a clipping taken from the
Cumberland Collegian, at the University
of Tennessee:
"As I hev told you der is diss Cumbei--
land Collitch down in Sunny Tennessee,
end der is taut de boys end girls to be
good morrel Christens. Oh! Beby wants
to know vat morrel iz. U-um, veil dat iz
to never say bad vords in public, tell de

de third date, do not let your right hend
know vate de left one iz doing, always
close de eyes ven sombe one prays, never
get caugMt cheetink, pay your bills at
least vunce a year, end hall such good
things as that. Oi! Beby, dunt say such
things are impossible.
"Now in this Cumberland Collitch iz also
a law school. End some of de lawyers find
it hard to be so morrel, after getting grown
up and thinking that hall iz known by dem.
You see, some of dem are not as yung as
freshmenz. Indeed, one lawyer wos so
morrel as to steel a diploma, but that is
another tale. But what wuz I saying? Oh!
yes, about de liars, I mean lawyers; veil,
some of them laugh at morrels end say that
iz a lotta epplesaus. End to show their
disdane, they kill halufpints end shoot de
little craps end bet ona a pair of jacks or
meybe yet play checkers, as Bergson. But
to tell de truth, hall lawyers play at check­ing
sometimes. End these unmorrel ripro-bates
are hall great atherleeks, for they
can hall throw de bull. You have missed
haluf of your life until you see Sam Lump­kin
in ackshun, he sometimes needs
a shovel.
"But beby dunt get de wrong idear that
hall unmorrelality is confined to lawyers.
That iz not so, for some lit stewdentz are

courtink what goes on iz also unmorrel,
for it sets a bad example for de younger

"Veil! Veil! de beby is asleep so I can

that if it has any morrels that they won't
be perraded around in publick. It iz bad
enough to have morrels without making

When the co-eds refused to retract the
charges, the campus next day saw all male
students garbed in overalls. And just, we
here at Auburn, have not been accused of
tobacco chewing and slouchiness as has
usually been the case.

WE WERE getting along pretty
well with the reading until we
came cross the following list of
things meant to acquaint one with the pop­ular
object of the average American joke.
Read them if you want to.
"The father who punished his son for
dreaming that he had lost a penny.
"The lassie who would have only one
chair in the parlor when her sweetie called.
"The man who bought postage stamps
one at a time because he didn't want to tie
all his money up.
"The radio fan who turns on his set dur­ing
electrical storms in the hope of getting
his batteries recharged
"The man who has the creases sewed in
the trousers of his new suit.
"The author who hoped all his children
would be girls so he could find a use for his
old type-writer ribbons.
"The man who consults the Weather Bu­reau
before taking a bath."
The way this individual is caricatured,
humored, insulted, is a surprise. Some
people think the prime object of living is
to get some joke on a person; in fact,
very few have learned any better. Right
here in Auburn where the old men and
graduates would have one believe that the
passing of the old order and arrangements
is deplorable and lamentable, sarcasm and
jokes lead the field. If it weren't for them,
there would be nothing to do at that.
* * * * *
IN PASSING through Ramsay Hall sev­eral
days ago the manner in which the
furnishings are being treated could not
escape our eye (it could not have escaped
the eye of the most destructive visitor
Auburn ever had). To see drawing benches
out of working commission, to see rows of
seats loose, and almost everything with
marks on it showed that there are a great
many careless and thoughtless morons in
the student body. At that though, a moron
is to be excused for ever thinking, but he
could at least be kept away from a tech­nical
school—or any other for that matter.
The imbecilic creatures who destroy the
fixings should either learn or be taught
that the present equipment has got to last
for many years, and that the best way to
preserve it so as to lengthen its life and
to be attractive to the many visitors com­ing
to the institution is to take reasonable
care of it. At many colleges it is a bad
offense to mark, deface, or injure in any
way any furniture or equipment belonging
to the college. When classes are over the
rooms are locked;' a close tab is kept on the
condition of the equipment between classes
to see who does the injuring and when
something is amiss, the charge of repair­ing
or replacing is correctly and rightly
placed against someone.
We are glad that such a stringent rule
does not exist at this institution, as it would
seriously hamper our personal liberty we
so proudly boast of. However, a liberal
view by the college authorities does not
warrant some of the destructive elements
of the moronic state of mind of some stu
dents to hold away. We are looking for and
expecting to find better cooperation by the
students in saving the present buildings
and furnishings, and a prime thought of
those housed in the new buildings soon to
be opened for use should be a preservation
of the building both as to its structure and
its use.

ALREADY the contract for the
senior' invitations has been let. In
the past this company has given
both service and satisfaction to the stu­dents.
And this year as in the past it is
thought the same conditions will prevail.

WE WERE standing up at the corn­er
looking toward the college,
wondering about its beauty, its
attractiveness, and how easily it would al­ways
be able to draw us- back. We were
standing there just meditating, satisfied
that the college would continue its upward
growth in the future and some day would
probably become a much greater power in
the state and nation. Then we thought
of the town, that it would not be such a
bad place in which to live, that it was
pretty and inviting. Just then we saw
about a bushel of popcorn pitched out on
the dirt park strip, left there to decay witfc
some other foul smelling refuse. That
spoiled the whole picture. Nothing could
remove the idea of such thoughtlessness on
the part of a resident and the tolerance of
such on the part of the city officials. We
looked around and the attractiveness of
the college began to fade a little in the
face of such disgustingly foolish and un­necessary
filth. We wondered then how
long Auburn would still be rated a "small
town."

Baseball Aspirants
Already Reporting
To Coach Sheridan
By Elmer G. Salter
Letter men will be available for
every position on Auburn's 1930 base­ball
team except at third base. Frank
Currie, alternate captain last season
and guardian of the hot corner, who
will perform with the Columbus Foxes
during the coming Summer, is the only
"A" wearer that finished who failed
to leave a veteran to take his place.
Coach Fred Sheridan already has
his pitchers and catchers out. They
are working every afternoon in the
gymnasium limbering up their mus­cles.
The other candidates have been
ordered to report just as soon as the
inclement weather that has been prev­alent
at the Plains for several days
pays a visit to some other metropolis.
If the vacant post at third is filled,
and a second Ebb James is discovered
among the prospective catchers,
Coach Sheridan should turn out an­other
formidable nine to represent the
Cornerstone. The Tigers have won
the Southern Conference champion­ship
twice in the last three years,
and only lost two series last season.
Pete Booth, catcher; Frank Currie,
third base; Howard Smith, keystone
artist and first baseman; Bill Harri­son,
second base and left field; Ad­dison
McGhee, pitcher; Dugan Tay­lor,
outfielder; Henry Roper and Pete
Lee, pitchers, are the players awarded
letters last season who graduated.
Rupert Ingram, who saw a good
deal of service last season behind the
plate, leads the candidates for catcher
because of his experience. This post
was weak last year which cost the
Tigers several games. Aubrey Lewis,
Travis Brown and William Tucker
will give Ingram a hard fight for the
regular position. The catching de­partment
is probably the most uncer­tain
on the team. Coach Sheridan
might decide to try Frock Pate and
Egbert Potter behind the mask if the
above quartet does not come through
okeh.
The pitching staff will have two
reliables to depend upon in Buck Car­ter
and Dunham Harkins. Both were
mainstays last season. They will be
aided considerably by Ray Prim and
G. C. Smith, the best bets on the 1929
frosh team. Clarence West, J. C.
Kennamer, F. K. Agee and H. P.
Smith, are four sophomore who might
be developed into capable hurlers un­der
the tutoring of Sheridan who
served under Walter Johnson during
(Continued on page 4)
FOR\V#K.O
Here we have the features of one
of Auburn's hustling forwards, Ralph
Jordan. This is Lefty's first year on
the varsity team, and already he has
shown Auburn followers that he is
gifted with the art of looping the
basket. Jordan hails from Selma, and
was prominent in sporting activities
there before entering college. He is
a member of the Sophomore class, and
beside his basketball ability, is also
active in other sports. He gave Cap­tain-
elect Harkins a stiff fight for
the pivot position on the football team,
and is a promising condidate for
Coach Sheridan's baseball team.
BASKETBALL QUINTESSENCE
—======== By ADRIAN TAYLOR ^==========
Interest is increasing in Southern Conference basketball due to many
thrilling games which are now prevalent. At the present time a strong
team from the University of Alabama is holding the lead. By virtue of
their two victories 6ver" the University of Mississippi, on Monday and Tues­day
nights of this week, Alabama has won five conference games with no
defeats. Bama won the first game 31 to 21, and the second 30-26. Ala­bama
has a strong team this year, having *n especially good passing com­bination.
At the writing, Kentucky and Washington and Lee are in a tie
for second place in Southern Conference circles.
Louie James Used to
Advantage at Center
Louie James, captain and regular
guard of Auburn's 1930 cage quin­tette,
is the only player being tried
at two positions this season by Coach
Hal Lee. James was a regular guard
on the freshmen five in 1927, subbed
for his famous brothers, Ebb and Fob,
on the 1928 machine, held down a
guard berth last season, and has start­ed
every game on this year's schedule
at this position.
Noticing a shortage in reserve
strength at center, Coach Lee has de­cided
to use his captain also as re­serve
pivot man. Jack Stewart, first-string
center, is rapidly developing in­to
an outstanding hardwood perform­er
but has not been able to play for­ty
minutes in every game. The team
usually loses its drive when Stewart
leaves the game.
A fast improving Auburn cage
team met defeat Wendesday night at
the hands of the strong University of
Georgia team. Although Auburn
jumped into the lead to begin the
fray, the Tigers could not keep up
the stiff pace and lost 43 to 35. The
game was fast and provided many
thrills for the spectators. Especially
was the work of Palmer and Sanford
good, and Lumpkin played an excel­lent
game for the Tigers.
So far the Tigers have won only
one conference game, as they were
very unsuccessful on their recent road
trip. While away from the Village,
Auburn lost two games. They met
defeat at the hands of Tennessee, and
also lost to Vanderbilt in a more ex­citing
game. Tennessee's noted foot­ball
men seem to be as adept at handl­ing
the spherical shaped basketball,
as they are at flipping the oblate
spheroid, commonly designated the
pigskin. Although the Tigers led
Vanderbilt in the earlier part of the
game, they faltered, as ' they did
against Georgia, and consequently lost
to the Commodores. Up to date, the
Tigers have won from South Carolina,
and lost to Clemson, Vanderbilt, Ten­nessee
and Georgia

The former wearers of the Orange

technic Institute on the hardwood have
brothers that are members of Coach
Hal Lee's 1930 basketball squad.
Capt. Louie James leads the list
His famous twin brothers, Ebb and
Fob, were star cagesters for three
seasons, holding down guard berths.
Louie is also performing at guard,
where he has been one of the main­stays
this season in holding the
Plainsmen's opposition to such low
scores.
Vernard Vines, brother of Aubrey
Vines, who was a regular guard on
the 1929 five, and Earl C. Smith,
brother of A. L. Smith, reserve cen­ter
and letter man on the famous
1928 machine, are the other members
of Coach Lee's quintet who have had
members of their family to play on
the court at the Plains.
Vines and Smith are both following
in the footsteps of their brothers as
they are leading contenders for posi­tions
occupied by the older members
of their families, guard and center.
Tigers Fight Hard But
Are Finally-Conquered
By Strong Georgia '5'
By Freeman Barnes
In a game replete with thrills from
beginning to end, a smooth-working
five from the University of Georgia
turned back a stubborn Auburn Ti­ger
here Wednesday night. Save ^or
a ten point lead which Auburn en­joyed
at the first of the game, Geor­gia
was in the lead at all times, but
the margin of difference was always
slight.
Auburn started with a rush, when
Captain James made a snowbird be­fore
the Georgians quite realized what
had happened. This was quickly fol­lowed
by a flurry of scoring on the
part of Jordan and Stewart and the
Auburnites had amassed eleven points
to the Bulldog's one, at the end of
only about five minutes of play. At
this juncture, Georgia called time out.
This evidently was a wise move, for
when play was resumed they imme­diately
began to cut, down Auburn's
big lead. After an exchange of pass
work up and down the floor, Captain
Palmer dribbled through Auburn's de­fense
to make a beautiful shot. This
was quickly folowed by another field
Sophs and Juniors
Largely Compose
Tiger Track Team
t —
By Elmer G. Salter
Auburn's 1930 cinder team will be
composed largely of sophomores and
juniorg. Graduation wrecked the
1929 team as four of the leading
tracksters in the Southern. Confer­ence
received their sheepskins last
May.
Percy Beard, holder of the Southern
record in the low hurdles, and the Au­burn
record in the broad jump; Ira
Virgin and Porter Anderson, co-hold­ers
of the Auburn record in the high
jump, and Nick Carter, holder of the
Auburn record in the shot put and
discus, are the quartet of thinly-clad
artists who are not back this season.
The above cinder stars annexed 26
of the Tigers 28 points in the South­ern
Conference meet last season. Ear­nest
Bell, captain of this year's team,
scored the other points for the Plains­men.
Bell placed in the 440 for his
two points. Auburn placed third in
the conference meet.
Despite the loss of mainstays of
the 1929 team, a formidable team is
expected to wear the Orange and Blue
colors this season. Wilbur Hutsell,
who has been at the helm of track ac­tivities
at the Cornerstone for nine
years, will again tutor the. future
Barbuti's, Nurmi's and Paddock's at
the Plains. Coach Hutsell was a mem­ber

Vandy Wins From
Auburn in Exciting
Encounter 29 to 27
Two conference basketball teams
whose main interest in existence thru
the present era is to stay out of the
cellar, met last night in the Vander-built
Gymnasium, Gus Morrow's Com­modores
maintaing a slim lead
throughout and finally defeating Au­burn
by a score of 29 to 27.
Thus, after being nosed out by
Clemson and crushed by Sewanee and
Alabama, the Vandy quintet finally
managed to eke out a conference win,
although playing a major portion of
the last period without the services of
Swamp Marsh, regular center, and
Capt. Donald Cram, both of whom
were disqualified for infringement of
the personal foul rule. The Commo­dores
did not play good basketball
in their victory. Their offense was
jerkey and they handled the ball very
poorly, indeed. But they made nine
of their 14 free shots good while the
Tigers from the Plains cashed only
seven in 19 attempt's, and the two
point difference there was the mar­gin
of victory.
If Auburn's team had cashed as
fine a percentage of its free throws
as did the Commodores, they would
have won. But they could not and
their best effort's from the floor left
them deadlocked with the Black and
Gold quintet in the matter of scoring

Woman's Club News
By Mrs. C. P. Townsley
The children who attended the
Woman's Club story hour on Wednes­day
were Virginia Williamson, Kath-erine
Wright, Claire Tisdale and
Billy and Thad Salmon. Mrs. Sewell
told about the "Three Bears," "The
Fox and the Crane," and "The Dog
and His Shadow," and Mrs. Salmon
read Mother Goose rhymes. The
children were much interested and
Mrs. Salmon plans to bring out more
interest and initiative by having the
.children take part in the story-telling.
Virginia Williamson will give her
favorite story next week. The meet­ings
are held every Wednesday from
three to four o'clock, and all the
Auburn children, from three through
kindergarden age, are invited. Mrs.
Sewell will be hostess next week at
her home at 116 Miller Avenue.
The sub-committee of the Educa­tion
Department in charge of the ac­tivity
is most anxious to add to its
material, and Mrs. Sewell or Mrs.
Camp will be glad to call for books if
anyone who has any to donate or lend
will call 312 or 234.

On last Saturday evening the Blue
Bird group of the Camp Fire Girls
Organization under the capable sup­ervision

ally of the south.
4. Introduction of diversified ag­riculture
is gradually becoming estab­lished.
Dairying, poultrying, and the
raising of hogs has brought new in­come,
better farming methods, and
even new industry to the south, such
as cheese factories and packing plants.
Mutt Capitalize on Season
The length of season in the south
must be capitalized, Mr. Knapp be­lieves,
for other crops than cotton,
tobacco and rice. Those farms can
be made to produce six times as much
wood on an acre as in any other cli­mate,
with cheap lands. He is con­vinced
that the south will soon be­come
superior in competition for
what he terms "ability to grow gross
tonnage of cellulose per acre."
Rayon mills coming to the south fore­tell
this trend. Corn can be grown
with its ears secondary to the 17 feet
of massive growth for fiber.
The south offers unlimited sources
of wood and cotton fiber, and with
science developing pressed wood or
other fibrous material, plastics from
pine sawdust and formaldehyde, there
will be no end to the new products
from this developing area. He even
predicts that while 60 per cent of the
nation's craft (wrapping) paper
comes from southern paper mills, it
is possible that we may step from
that to paper pulp for newsprint.

his stay in the American and Inter­national
leagues.
Harry Lloyd is expected to fill the
role at first base that was held down
by Ben Newton and Howard Smith
last season. Louis Gholston and
Ralph Jordan are numeral players
from Red Brown's yearling nine who
will also be in the battle for the ini­tial
sack. Due to his hitting ability,
Jordan might be shifted to the outer
gardens.
The remainder of the inner works
probably will be Luke Ward, Ike Lew­is
or Egbert Potter, second base;
Frock Pate, shortstop, and Bob Har­ding,
Chas. Manley or Bill Bigger-staff,
third base. Ward was out last
season with an injured shoulder.
The outfield remains intact from
last season with three of the hardest
hitting southpaw hitters in college
baseball ready to chase flys. It is
very doubtful if another college nine
in the United States can boast of a
trio of better fly chasers. All have
received lucrative offers to join pro­fessional
ranks but want to finish
their education. All throw from the
right side but deal opposing mounds-men
misery from the left side. Ben
Newton will, patrol left field; Capt.
Jim Crawford, center field, and Joe
Burt, right field. Pete Harris, letter
earner last season, Ray Ward and
Phil Hodges, who are up from the
yearling team, will be able understud­ies
for three of the best outfielders
ever to roam the pastures in an
Orange and Blue uniform.

there.
Auburn scored first with a free
pitch and led for a minute. But af­ter
that they were behind from two
to six points, never getting below
striking distance of the top, but never
being quite able to pull up on even
terms. With only five minutes left
to play, Vandy led with the count at
27 to 21. Jordan's foul shot 10 sec­onds
before the last whistle made it
27 to 29, the gap being gradually
closed up as the game was ended.
Stewart, lanky center for the visi­tors,
was the only player on either
team able to make more than half a
dozen points. Coffer, Marsh, Cram,
Jordan and Pate all accounted for six
tallies. But Stewart made one more
to top the evening's list.
The lineup:
Vandy (9) Pos. Auburn (27)
Coffee (6) F Jordan (6)
Rutherford (2) F Pate (6)
Marsh (6) C Stewart (7)
Cram (6) G Lawson (2)
Abernathy G James (4)

and finally surpassed. With the score
18-12 in favor of the Bulldogs, Coach
Lee sent in Lumpkin to replace Pate.
This Slim youngster made his pres­ence
felt immediately by snagging a
crip shot under the goal. The two
team battled nip and tuck the rest of
the period, with Lumpkin leading the
way, Auburn managed to cut down
the Georgians' lead to twelve points.
The half ended with the Bulldogs on
the long end of a 24-19 count.
Auburn fought the Georgians stub­bornly
throughout the last half, but
were never quite able to overcome the
Bulldogs' lead. Both defenses tight­ened
in the second period, but the
Georgia forwards maintained their su­periority
by long shots from the side
that found the basket with astonish­ing
regularity.
Sanford, lanky blond forward for
the visitors, was especially adept at
hitting the basket in almost every at­tempt.
Despite this, the whole Au­burn
team fought with dogged deter­mination
that threatened at all times
to overcome the more brilliant play of
their rivals. Aided by good teamwork
and good shooting at the basket by
Lumpkin and Stewart, the Tigers
drew up with four points of the visi­tors.
Then Jordan, sensational Au­burn
forward, threw the crowd into
an uproar by taking the ball out of
the hands of Reeder, Georgia guard,
dribbling down the floor, and bag­ging
a snowbird under the goal. This
brought the count to 34-32 and it
looked as thought the Plainsmen
might overtake the Athenians. Joy
was short lived, however; apparently
spurred by the Tigers' spurt, the Bull­dogs
came back and had amassed an­other
seven point lead within two min­utes.
Thereafter, with only three
minutes to play, the conclusion was al­most
foregone; the Tigers neverthe­less,
continued to fight just as hard
and showed the never-say-die Auburn
spirit. The game finally ended with
the score standing 43-35 in favor of
Georgia.
Auburn's Sophomore team showed a
world of improvement in this game.
At times, the team showed flashed
ing trees as a farm crop, quick-grow­ing
varieties, that in six or seven
years start supplying annual cuttings.
These will cease to be farm wastes
or by-products, and become princi­pal
agricultural products, he opines.
Two crops a year are possible in
the southland. A legume such as
Austrian peas or vetch can be grown
in winter, then "Slap the land right
back" into some other summer crop,
fertility being kept up all the while.
New discoveries are in the offing by
chemists who will find uses for such
southern crops as turpentine and
rosin, Mr. Knapp indicated.

power that bode ill for teams to be
met later in the season. Lawson,
Stewart, and Lumpkin showed won­derful
improvement. The elongated
center, Stewart, seems to be getting
his eye on the basket.
Captain James played his usual
jam-up game at guard and harassed
the Georgians at all times by sneak­ing
under the goal to bag crip-shots.
By far, the most gratifying thing was
the fighting spirit showed by Coach
Lee's proteges. This team has a heart.
One would have thought the Plains­men
were The Tigers, who simply do
not know what it means to give up.
Georgia, too, showed a powerful,
smooth-running team that boasts two
forwards who can shoot and work on
the floor like nobody's business. The
whole team played as a unit.
