By Benjamin Provost
When Weidemeyer's o r c h e s t r a
strikes the first note of a fox-trot at
nine o'clock Thursday evening, May
16, opening the first dance of the
Senior Prom, the commencement ex­ercises
of the class of 1929 will form­ally
get under way.
The 1929 Social Committee is hard
at work preparing for a great series
of dances. The Committee has se­lected
Miss Signa Glasgow, of Annis-ton,
to lead the Grand March with
Pete Crenshaw, of Athens, Chairman
of the Committee. The Grand March,
held at the Senior Ball on Friday
night, is the high point of the Finals.
Jimmie Ware, President of the Ih-terfraternity
Council, announces that
house parties will be given by the fol­lowing
fraternities: Kappa Sigma,
Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu, Pi Kap­pa
Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa
Alpha, Beta Kappa, and Delta Sig­ma
Phi. All of these fraternities are
planning to make the Senior Prom
series the gayest of the year by en­tertaining
the visitors in a royal man­ner.
Banquets and buffet suppers are
being planned by these fraternities
as well as by several of the social in-terfraternity
organizations and by
other fraternities on the campus.
One thousand invitations have been
mailed by the Committee to as many
young ladies throughout the South.
About two hundred are expected to
attend the Senior Prom.
The contract for decorating the
Gymnasium has been let to Charles
F. Davis Jr.7 of Hartford, under the
supervision of the Social Committee.
The Gym will be metamorphosed into
a huge vineyard, natural flora being
used to obtain the effect. This will
be a departure from the decorative
schemes used in the past, and will
permit free circulation of air, thus in­suring
a cool gym for the morning
and afternoon dances.

At eleven forty-five Thursday, the
i juniors and seniors will be asked to
r
report to Langdon Hall for the pur­pose
of witnessing the installation of
the members of the Executive Cabi­net
of the Associated Undergraduate
Students of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute.
The sixteen representatives elected
by the student body as representa­tives
to the Executive Cabinet in the
recent elections will take the oath of
office following the convocation.
Those taking the oath will be on
the portioco of Langdon Hall, and
the student body will be grouped in
the front of the building. All stu­dents
are urged to be present at this
important ceremony, which will begin
the functioning of the Executive
Cabinet.
Dr. Knapp has also called a convo­cation
for the freshman and sopho­mores,
to meet from eleven to eleven
forty-five in Langdon Hall.
GEORGIA ROUTS
AUBURN FRIDAY
Moultonmen Lose Chance For S. C.
Championship
The Univei'sity of Georgia Bull­dogs
captured the thrid straight vic­tory
from Auburn this season when
they defeated the Plainsmen 11-1 in
the" first of a two game series in the
"Village" Friday. The loss of the
game to Georgia blasted the hopes of
the Tigers of getting the Southern
Conference crown as they were sit­ting
on the 500 mark, winning seven
and losing seven games with one tie.
The game started with much gusto
although neither team scored in the
first period both tallied with one
marker in the second. The Georgians
turned 12 hits into 11 runs while the
home team scored only one point out
of 10 hits.
Carter, stellar Tiger twirler-allow­ed
9 runs and Harkins who took the
mound in the seventh inning allowed
two scores. The Plainsmen failed to
hit in the pinches, allowing ten men
to be left on bases. Newton failed
to hit his usual stride in the eighth
when he struck out leaving Taylor
and Burt on bases. This was the last
chance the Tigers had to lessen the
score.
The Bulldogs came back in the sec­ond
to score the first run of the game
with two hits by Steele and Day,
Steele scoring for Georgia. Murdock,
pitching for the Athens aggregation,
passed Burt to start Auburn^ half

NOTICE
We are expecting many distinguish­ed
visitors in Auburn for the Com­mencement
and Inaugural exercises.
Our hotel facilities are inadequate
and we wish to appeal to you to as­sist
us in this emergency; We are
especially in need of rooms for Sun­day
and Monday nights of May 19 and
20. If you can help us at that time,
kindly telephone my office and indi­cate
how many people you can accom­modate
and the charges you will
make.

A monster mass-meeting is being
planned for 7 P. M. on the night of
May 20, Alumni Day, according to a
statement made today by "Bud" Bax­ter,
Head Cheerleader and Reggie
Hatcher, manager of the 1929 Foot­ball
team. The purpose of the meet­ing
is to hold an old time Auburn ral­ly,
with some of the yells, talks by
Dr. Knapp, past captains, the coaches,
and graduate A Club men to revive
the spirit of the student body and to
prepare for a winning season next
fall.
"It is necessary that the entire stu­dent
body get out and talk Auburn
during the summer; to show the state
that we are back on our feet and will
put out an old-time Auburn football
team next year", said Baxter and
Hatcher. "We want to hold a big pep
meeting of the kind that will be held
during the next season; we want to
awaken a spirit of enthusiasm and
loyalty that will permeate the entire
Southland during the summer and
will start old Auburn off right when
the first mass-meeting is called next
September. We want to enlist the
spirit of the hundreds of alumni that
will be here May 20; to show them
that the student body fs loyal to Au­burn
and is behind her wholehearted­ly."
It has not been decided where the
mass meeting will be held, but this
will be announcer later. It is ex­pected
that a real revival of the Au­burn
Spirit will be held. The idea.of
a football rally in the Spring is a new
one, and should appeal to the alumni,
who want to know how the student
body feels toward the football team.
They will not lend their wholehearted
support unless the student body is
behind the team; it is up to the stu­dents
to come out and instill the old
spirit in each other and in the state
of Alabama. A monster meeting, at­tended
by every Auburn man and
woman, vibrant with a conquering
spirit of determination and loyalty
will work wonders here, according to
the backers of the movement. Fur­ther
details will be made public as
soon as the plans are formulated.
ODK Approves Action
Of Fraternity Council
Omega Circle of Omicron Delta
Kappa voted almost unanimously in
approval of the recent action of the
Auburn In terf rater nity Council in
taking steps to prevent the continu­ance
of freshman hair cutting during
the coming collegiate year, it was an­nounced
by President Addison Mc-
Ghee.
In giving sanction to the move
made by the Interfraternity Council,
it was said that members of the hon­or
fraternity considered the concert­ed
action of the social fraternities as
a forward step in denouncing a prac­tice
that was materially hampering
the social status of the college.
It was intimated that ODK would
use every means to support the reso­lution
of the fraternity men which be­came
known last week. Although pro­jects
for the coming year have not
been formulated, the retiring presi­dent
said that he felt that Omega
Circle would be active in the crusade
against shaving the hair of the first
year men.

DEBATE IS WON
BY WILS0NIAN
Overton and Pike Win in Inter-
Society Meeting .
The Wilsonian Literary Society,
represented by Hugh Overton and
Thomas W. Pyke, were victorious in
the inter-society debate which was
held on Thursday night before a
sparse audience. A. V. Blankenship
and R. G. Upcchurch represented the
Websterian society. The Wilsonian
society had the affirmative side of the
question, which was: "Resolved: That
the present system of granting qual­ity
points as in effect at this insti­tution
shoud be amended to prohibit
their bestowal for any activity for
which college credit is not given."
This was the finals of the debates,
the Websterian and Wilsonial liter­ary
societies having defeated the Wirt
representatives, Roy N. Sellers and
W. C. Weldon, and the Evans rep­resentatives,
M. V. Hallman and J.
W. Letson, in the semi-finals Tues­day
night April 23. Both of the
winning teams had the affirmative
side of the question.
The winning team was presented
with the debating cup, and their
names will be engraved on it, along
with the names of the winners of
previous years; the cup has been
given for several years to the victori­ous
literary society in the inter-so­ciety
debates, and the names of the
winners are engraved upon it.
Graduate Appointed
To Foreign Service
James B. Pilcher Made Vive-Consul
At Nanking
James B. Pilcher, of Dothan, Ala.,
an Auburn graduate of the class of
1920, was recently appointed Vice-
Consul of the United States, his as­signment
being Nanking, China. Mr.
Pilcher was in Auburn today for a
short visit, whence he will return to
his home and thence to San Francis­co
on May 14, sailing for the Orient
shortly thereafter.
Mr. Pilcher received a B. S. degree
in Chemical Engineering at Auburn
and returned the next year to obtain
his Master's Degree. He attained
membership in Phi Kappa Phi and
was one of the founders of the Phi
Kappa Delta fraternity.
During the past several months Mr.
Pilcher has studied at the Foreign
Service School, Washington, D. C,
finishing his work there on Api'il 27.
Shortly afterward he was appointed
to the foreign service. His official
title is Vice-Consul of Career.
There are at present seven Alabama
men in the Foreign Service of the
United States, two of these being Au­burn
men, Mr. Pilcher and Mr. R. Y.
Brown who is stationed in Bagdad.
Tracy Lay, Class of 1904, attained a
high eminence in this branch of gov­ernment
service, resigning from the
Foreign Service recently on account
of ill health.
The Plainsman brought home the
bacon this afternoon, by defeating the
Georgia nine by the score of 6 to 2.
The pitching of "Maggie" McGhee
was the feature of the game; he held
the Bulldogs scoreless in every frame
but the first and the last; he held
Georgia to 2 hits.
The Georgia boys opened the game
with a run in the first inning. After
one was out, Davenporth walked, and
went to third on a stolen base and a
sacrifice hit. Steele walked, but Mar­tin
singled, scoring Davenporth.
The game was nip and tuck after
that. The Tigers had men on bases
in the second, third, fourth, fifth,
and sixth, but failed to secure hits
when most desirable. Georgia also
had men on bases, but due to some
fine support and good pitching, they
were kept away from the plate.
Auburn tied the score in the sev­enth
when Harrison singled, and was
advanced to third when Pate's hot
drive to Davenporth was muffed.
Harrison scored on a double steal.
Smith singled to open Auburn's
eighth; Burt walked, and Smith
scored when Ingram beat out a bunt,
which was later fumbled by the Bull­dog
first sacker. Newton was struck
out, but went to first when the Geor­gia
catcher muffed the third strike.
Burt scoring and Ingram going to
third. Harrison took the count, and
McGhee popped out attempting to
bunt. Pate sent the crowd roaring
when he sent the apple far out into
left field for four bases. Currie
singled, stole second, went to third
on a passed ball, but Crawford end­ed
the inning when he popped out.
McGhee walked Steele and Mur­dock
in Georgia's ninth, and Steele
scored when Rothstein, batting for
Day, went to first on an error by Mc­Ghee.
Georgia failed to score any
more, although they had the bases
filled, after two were out in this in­ning.
Score: R H E
Georgia 100 000 001—2 2 3
Auburn 000 000 15x—6 9 2
Batteries: Auburn: McGhee and In­gram
; Georgia: Ca'rithers and Gor­man.
An added feature of the regular
freshman stock judging contest,
staged annually here by the Animal
Husbandry department for students
in the Types and Breeds course, is
the awarding of a loving cup to the
best judge of dairy cattle by Dean
M. J. Funchess. Mr. Funchess, Dean
of the College of Agriculture, states
that he will award a similar cup each
year, for which much interest is being
manifested.
This cup is being awarded today,
along with four additional cups going
to the five high scoring judges out
of nineteen contestants picked from
the freshman class for their marked
judging ability and high scholastic
rating. The following awards are
being made:
A cup is being given by the depart­ment
to the best judge of all classes
of livestock; a cup is given by the stu­dents
and Department to the second
best judge of all classes; the Dean's
cup is given to the best judge of dairy
cattle; a cup is given by the students
and department for the best judge of
swine; a cup is given to the best
judge of sheep and beef cattle to­gether.
The contest, which is annually su­pervised
by the department of Animal
Industry, is being staged today. Re­sults
will be announced next weew,
and the cups awarded at the regular
Ag Club meeting on Wednesday even­ing,
May 15.
Training in livestock judging is
taught by Professors Eaton and
Sewell. Prof. Eaton specializes in
dairy cattle, while Prof. Sewell is at­tached
to swine and beef type work.
Competition is always keen for the
trophies.

A Commendable Gift Given
In Commendable Spirit .
The Class of 1929 has been in large
measure responsible for the establishment
of the new Student Association at Auburn.
Certain of the Seniors have given a deal
of thought and contributed much work to
the task of properly putting the plan of
the organization into operation. Now that
the matter has been removed from their
hands by the election of the officers of
the Association j the Seniors have signified
their faith in the organization in another
way.
It was the intention of the Senior Class
to leave behind them at Auburn a campus
memorial. Through circumstances beyond
their control they have been prevented
from doing this. Nothing daunted they have
found another means of leaving behind
them a reminder of their feeling for Au­burn.
It is an excellent substitute for their
original plan, and may be considered a
more worthy plan.
A large oaken table, with chairs to
match, is to be placed in the cabinet room
of the Executive Cabinet. The table will
contain, embedded in its top, a memorial
tablet bearing an inscription stating that
the table was presented by the Class of
1929.
In presenting this table to the Student
Association the Senior Class signifies its
faith in the organization; it offers this gift
as a token of the esteem in which the As­sociation
is held; and it leaves this me­morial
as a symbol of the whole hearted
support that the Class of 1929 is willing
to accord the Association and the school.
The choice of gifts is commendable; the
spirit,behind the choice is praiseworthy.
Interfraternity Council
Taboos Hair-Cutting
At last Auburn is waking up to the fact
that hair-cutting is a detriment to the
^school. There has been much discussion
in the past as to whether hair-cutting
should be abolished, and as to whether it
could be abolished. Now the discussion has
borne fruit and the initial step toward the
abolishment of this foolish practice has
been taken.
Last Monday night the Interfraternity
Council resolved that its members "intend
to abolish compulsory hair-clipping by re­fraining
from clipping the hair of our
pledges, and by doing everything in our
power to abolish the custom on the cam­pus."-
This resolution is the first concerted
movement on the part of any student or­ganization,
or other group of students, to
bring about the abolishment of hair-cut­ting.
The practice of cutting the hair from the
he'ads of the lowly first year men has gone
on at Auburn for a long time. It has be­come
almost a tradition.. Traditions should
be cherished, but they should not be cher­ished
indiscriminately—as this tradition
has been cherished. Certain traditions are
injurious to the reputation of the school
and should not be cherished. Hair-clipping
is one of these.
No one can logically gainsay the fact
that this apparently harmless form of
hazing has hurt Auburn. There are at
least a certain number of boys just out of
high school who do not relish the idea of
being branded with a shining pate as an
indication of their collegiate unworthiness.
They are not to be blamed. Neither are
the mothers who detest the idea of having
their sons so marked to be blamed for feel­ing
so. They know that convicts arevbrand-ed
as such by their bald heads and the con­sequent
association of ideas is a logical one.
When away on out of town trips Auburn
boys should be glad to be recognized as stu­dents
from A. P. I. No doubt they are.
But it is not likely that newcomers at Au­burn
desire to be recognized as Auburn
students because of their bald heads.
Recognition with a smile is pleasant; recog­nition
with a laugh is unpleasant, in fact
utterly disagreeable. In the past Auburn
"frosh" have been recognized with a laugh.
It is to be hoped, that as a result of the
action of the Interfraternity Council, they
will in the future be recognized with a
smile.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
T h e Senio r Ban­quet
was a splendid
affair and I feel sat­isfied
everyone en­joyed
it. All seniors
are invited to the
President's Home for
a reception on Satur­day
night, May 11,
from eight to ten. We
are trying to make
this splendid class which we are graduating
this ^rear feel that Auburn is proud to
graduate them but sorry to lose them.
* * * * *
There will be a general faculty meeting
Thursday, May 16, to pass on seniors for
graduation.
* * * * *
The final dances of the year will begin
on the 16th. I sincerely trust that we may
all unite to prevent the occurrence of any­thing
during these dances which could
bring the slightest reproach upon the in­stitution.
I really believe we are making
progress. I hope we may make this final
effort in the year one worthy of every
commendation.
* * * * *
There will be a Sophomore-Freshman
Convocation May 16, eleven to twelve
o'clock. I have not had a chance to meet
the sophomores and freshmen for a long
time and I am very anxious to have them
present as there are important matters to
be presented to them.
As Commencement comes, are you think­ing
about next year? I am hoping for one
of the biggest, finest years this institution
has ever had. If we can all work together
to that end we can do a great piece of
work.
38 AUBURN FOOTPRINTS «
A Self-Made Hero
Of Unselfishness
At most colleges athletic stars are the
college heroes; their heroic deeds outshine
the heroism of others who are mere stu­dents.
But at Birmingham-Southern things
are not so. There is a student hero there
who is not an athlete. His name is Ken-ner
Barnes. Barnes has been active in
student affairs at Birmingham-Southern.
He has been a leader in religious, forensic
and general student activities. His work
has been recognized and rewarded. The
reward was the presentation to Barnes of
the cup given each year to some student
for conspicuous service in college religious
affairs.
Barnes was succeeded in office as presi­dent
of the college Y. M. C. A. by Loyd
Tubb, a ministerial student who is earning
his way through college. In order to bet­ter
fit himself to carry on the work of
the Y. M. C. A. Tubb needed and desired
to attend the Y. M. C.A. Summer Assem­bly
at Blue Ridge, N. C. However, Tubb
could not afford the trip and there seem­ed
no possibility of his being able to at­tend.
Barnes recognized the predicament of
Tubb and also saw a solution. He is a
man, and because he is a man he sacrificed
the honor of receiving the annual cup in
A Tribute To
Our Mothers
Next Sunday is set aside for those whose
loyalty and self-sacrificing spirit we are
often inclined to forget—our mothers. At
that time we are given a fitting opportunity
to pay tribute to the one willing to do any­thing
that we may realize our ambitions.
Her every thought is concerning our wel­fare,
no matter what our faults she is
always on our side; to her we turn when
troubles overtake us. She is first to aid us
in trouble and first to congratulate us on
success.
Lincoln, Napoleon, Roosevelt and many
other men of fame have often realized the
helpfulness of their mothers as a great aid
to their success in life. We are not Lin-colns
"nor Rooseve'lts but surely we can
appreciate our mothers. A token of re­membrance
on Mother's Day will not be
such a sacrifice on our part as compared
with the happiness it will bring to the one
who receives it. In this respect many of
us are inclined to forget our mothers. Here,
then there presents itself a fitting oppor­tunity
to remember her.
The Gentle Art
Of Bluffing
Does college serve to train men and
women in the art of bluffing? An investi­gation
was recently conducted in the Uni­versity
of Cincinnati which seems to estab­lish
the fact that it does. Half the 100 stu­dents
who unwillingly took the test bluf­fed
46.58 per cent or more. Some bluffed
their way through 81 per cent of the ex­amination,
which contained questions that
had no answer. The students were asked
to define ficticious words, to designate the
authors of unwritten books, or to identify
the character using alleged quotations from
Shakespearean plays.
The same test was given to 58 persons,
picked at random, who had never been to
a college university. Their bluffing score
averaged only 25 per cent, considerably
lower than the mark made by the university
students who, it seems, were more highly
trained in the fine art of bluffing. "It
appears," says Mr. Edwin E. Slosson, "that
our educational system trains to dishonesty
and pretentiousness, to false assumption
of knowledge and concealment of ignor­ance."
It is reassuring, however, to learn that
seniors bluffed the least and freshmen the
most. Also, the students who had high
academic ratings averaged comparatively
low scores in bluffing.—Daily Kansan.
" L i t t l e Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Is it a matter of trying to get ahead of
the opposite sex—this race for supremacy
in the display of bright colors in dress?
Style and fashion are subject to frequent
changes, but we cannot recall any history
relating to a parallel of the wild display
of gaudy colors among masculinity at pres­ent.
Of course it is all a matter of personal
taste; but sometimes it looks as though the
sexes are striving to . exchange positions.
Maybe the supply^ of real "he-men" is get­ting
low; or perhaps there's a pressing
need for a jolting earthquake that will
disturb this dilemma on the part of those
pretending to be men!
We doubt very seriously if men can ever
succeed in becoming anything but men—
unless it be "sissies".
The formal inauguration of "Prexy" on
Alumni Day during commencement exer­cises
should be an event to which we all
will look with great pride and enthusiasm.
On that day Auburn alumni will have
journeyed back to the campus to experi­ence
with us the installation of one of the
South's leading educators as our official
head. Auburn is to be congratulated upon
securing the services of such an outstand­ing
leader.
We look forward with a great deal of
enthusiasm to the new-featured annual,
The Glomerata, which will be handed out
within the next few days. Its dedication
is unique and deserving of praise. We
believe the entire volume will surpass any
previous one issued here—or elsewhere.
The results of the Executive Cabinet
election are extremely interesting. We be­lieve
those students elected are capable
of the offices to which they have been se­lected,
and will duly fill their places there.
The success of the Association now rests
largely in their hands. We are very en­thusiastic
to see operation begin, and con­tinue
effectively.
There seems to be a definite move tow­ard
abolishing the age-old custom of clip­ping
newcomers' hair here. Which, no
doubt, is an advantageous step; and if the
sentiment tends in this direction, let's stand
behind it. Some older men will furiously
object—but we must keep step with an
advancing Auburn.
IT WON'T BE LONG TILL—
(VACATION)
The erstwhile Ag., will chew the rag,
In his suburban city home.
The Engineer, will cuss and swear,
While plowing his father's loam.
The College Belle, won't look so swell,
When she's washing clothes and dishes.
For the homely girl, there's another world,
With a maid who does her wishes.
The Secondary Ed., will lie. in bed,
While his pants are being pressed.
The Architect, will worry and fret,
Over which suit looks the best.
It all goes to show—well I don't know,
What the conclusion really does mean,
But I'll make a guess, and say it's this,
"Things are not always what they seem."
—Fellow Convict No. 702.

THAT HIGHEST HONOR
Five years ago, about the time when co-eds still lettered their slickers and
crate owners still encrusted their tans with sloppy slogans, such as "The square of
a hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two
sides," they released the barricades long enough to allow a freshman to enter along
with the refreshments delivered for the W. S. G. A. orgies.
It only took him a day to get in, but it took him seven years to get out, and
even now he is only put on parole. He left in his wake a pledge to the alumni
fund, 57 unexcused cuts, eleven overdue library books, and numerous assignments
—unfinished, along with seevral other honorable achievements such as P.K.P.;
and U.T.B. (unpaid tailor bills), and he made the honorable senior society Fat
Haad. Mind you, he accomplished all this and graduated with honors at the age
of six, Class Prophet; Poet and Philosopher. He was voted the wittiest man in the
class of '27, and was awarded the Putizer prize as the man most likely to recede.
—Alex.
CONFESSION
Your golden yellow hair,
So soft, and wavy, too,
And skin so smoothe and fair
Make women envy you.
Your eyes of bluest tint
Are due a word of praise,
And lips that slyly hint,
Make human hearts obey.
And though your happy smile
Is never meant for me,
I love you all the while,
And wish that it could be.
It's true you are a blonde,
But blonde girls' have a way
That puts my mind in bonds, %
And leads my heart astray!
—Convict number 969.

Football players with a percentage of
73.47 rate lowest of college students, ac­cording
to the finding of the Carnegie
Foundation. Other averages are: Tennis
players, 87.16; wrestlers 80.94; not-ath-letes,
79.01.
Hungary has forbidden the use of cos­metics
by school girls. Take me home to
my mother.
THE GEDUNK
I am the Gedunk who is always telling
every one about my average. I keep very
close accounts of all my quiz grades and
can, at a moment's notice, tell you my aver-age
up to date in every class that I take.
Of course I know that no one is interested
in my averages, but I like to tell them
because it makes me appear so efficient.
WILL THEY DO IT?
Oklahoma A. & M. College a few days
ago organized its first Council for Women.
A member from each woman's organization
on the campus will make up the council.
Besides directing activities on the cam­pus
the association promotes such func­tions
as enforcing traditions of the college
and giving of upper class privileges. It also
offers for the fostering of scholarship.
* * * * *
SOUP STRAINERS
The senior .mechanical engineers at the
University of Nebraska have an avowed
intent of being the only 100 per cent mus-tached
class to graduate in June. Students
of other departments having mustaches do
not want to shave them off and are sorry
that there is no law to prevent their loss.
Some ambition.
HE SHOULD BE ASLEEP
Three students at the University of Ten­nessee
Medical college, one of them the
son of the president, have been suspended
in connection with an alleged attempt to
steal examination questions from the
dean's office.. They were caught by a fac­ulty
member at 3:30 in the morning in an
attempt to ransack the office. Wonder
what a faculty member was doing up at
that early hour?
* * * * *
COLLEGE SPIRIT
Approximately four thousand students
at the University of Michigan were dis­persed
with tear bombs after doing damage
estimated at $2,000 to a theatre in which
they staged a riot. The riot was part of
the celebration of the winning of a basket­ball
game. The undergraduates used po­tatoes,
eggs, bottles, and rocks in defiance
of the bombs hurled by the cops. And
would you not like to have been there?
* * * * *
TOO BAD
An asinine sense of humor has long
been attributed exclusively to freshmen,
but a Northwestern sophomore must be
given credit for the best joke of the sea­son.
Finding an arrest book left behind
by a policeman, the soph set out to filling
out the summons for "university professors,
doctors, and other prominent citizens. The
next day an angry horde of business men
and college professors swarmed down upon
police headquarters and even after expla­nations
had been offered they couldn't see
the joke.
HOLD THEM HORSES
Here comes the buggy. Students are
using horses and buggies regularly at the
University of Indiana. Women students
are forbidden to l-ide in automobiles at
night unless their parents are with them or
they are granted special permission by the
dean of women. Carriages, surreys, and
buggies are now being used each evening.
Thanks for the buggy ride; and now we
shall know what our ancestors found in
buggy riding. Chances are, though, that
it won't be printed in this column.
* * * * *
SHAKE THAT THING
The University of Hawaii has raised the
sum of $1,000 to furnish the school theatre.
Aware of the Terpsichorean technique
which rules the legs of Hawaii, it is sane
to predict the new stage will be a stomping
ground for hula hulas, and the entire
chorus can be attired in one bale of hay.
Cheap enough—I mean the attire of course.
* * * * *
LET'S HAVE ONE
A unique course is offered at the Uni­versity
of Texas this year for students
whose health makes them unfit for strenu­ous
exercise. The new class is termed the
"sleeping course". This must be one class
you can sleep through without being bawl­ed
out. A splendid course.
* * * * *
Dr. Walter A. Jessup, president of the
University of Iowa, in addressing the class
of 1929 at the sixth annual honors con­vocation
held recently at the University
of Kansas, stated that "the names of those
whose college careers were mediocre but
who afterwards made glorious successes in
life are broadcast just because they are
so rare.
* * * * *
TO RAISE MEMBERSHIP
Co-eds of the University of Colorado in
the Delta Delta Delta sorority house had
to flee for safety in nearly zero weather
with nothing on but pajamas recently when
fire broke out on the third story of their
dwelling. It is reported that the fire de­partment
has received a large number of
applicants for membership since the fire.
I'll bet it was cold.
THE NASTY THING
Charged with slapping the face of a
pretty blonde chorus girl, a Yale student,
was given a five-day jail sentence. A fel­low
student was also fined $10 on the com­plaint
of another chorus girl.

IT WAS in the room of a friend that I.
noticed a small silver box, not unlike,
in size or appearance, a jewel case.
"What is this?", I asked my friend. "Oh,
that" said he, "was given to me and it has
gradually accumulated my trinkets." That
was very true, as I saw at once, for I open­ed
the chest. He could not have better
described the contents of that silver case.
Trinkets—yes they were certainly trinkets.
I stood there, fascinated, exploring and
tumbling them about with my finger. A
broken watch chain—an army automatic
pistol shell—a Boy Scout badge—a small
diamond-shaped piece of quartz—a pair of
dice—a cheap souvenir ring—a pair of cuff
links—a fraternity pledge button—studs
for a shirt front—a cigarette holder—a
high school senior ring—a small picture
of a girl—a champagne cork; and a dozen
others, to me meaningless, but just as in­teresting
catch-holds of the past. Trinkets
—yes, most certainly trinkets. Is not life
itself simply a small chest which is given
us? And into which we proceed to fling,
to others meaningless, but to us priceless
bits of the past and present. Nor do we
place them there consciously or with ef­fort,
but more seemingly do they jump
into our silver cases themselves, some of
them unwelcomed and others cherished.
And if one but will, as the years go by, he
can always pause and amuse himself for
a time by blowing the dust from his trink­ets
and toying with them. Sketches of hap­piness—
the disagreeable—pain—worry—
interesting experiences—friendships—dis­gusts—
1 o v e s—hatreds—t h e amusing—
noble deeds—horribleness—anxiety—fail­ures—
hopes—success—dreams—the sordid
—work—good times, though slightly wick­ed—
religion—ghost stories—legends—gos­sip;
and a thousand others, from God
knows where and for no reason at all, but
they are there and they are yours, and
if you wish you may stir them about with
your finger. But one day, the lid to your
little chest will bang closed and your trink­ets
will vanish. "But is there nothing after
that?" you ask. Well, probably not, and
why should there be? But, wait, if you
have become famous and great; your trink­ets
will be written about, they will be mull­ed
over in drowsy class rooms, or by with­ered
old women at Tuesday meeting of the
Women's Club.
AFORECAST of the coming com­mencement
address: "You cannot
imagine, students of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, how great us the pleasure
it gives me to be here on this momentous
occasion. To come before the best of the
youth of the land and to have the privi­lege
of giving to you the last bits of ad­vice
and encouragement before you go out
to take your place in the world, is indeed
a rare, pleasure. I am thrilled and inspired
to see so many young men and women,
educated, refined, confident, and so vi­brant
with the robustness of youth. The
world is waiting for you with open arms.
It is only right that you, who have spent
years in preparedness, should step right
into life and claim places of distinction
and leadership. There is always room for
just such men and women as you, so tarry
not. Go! on and on and on! Get to the
top. You can do it! Make old Auburn
proud of your name. Conquer the world,
because the world is yours. Are you not
college graduates?" Thus thousands of be­wildered
youngsters are the butt of the
Don's last jibe.
LUNA
Too soon the sunset somes; too soon
Opens the night its curious eyes,
Greedy to watch the maiden moon
Unloose her silver draperies
And walk upon the star-flowered fields.
Her cloudy garments one by one
To waiting winds she slowly yields,
And now, her last disrobing done,
Flashes lithe limbs across the sky
And flaunts the cold and slender grace
Of unconcerned virginity.
O now before her smiling face
A thousand rivers, lakes and seas
Hold up their mirrors to her gaze:
A thousand moonlets there she sees
Float on a thousand starry ways.
Beneath her footfall light and free
The peeping star flowers shake and fall;
Cold as her watery mirrors, she
Drinks admiration from them all.
In them her nakedness she views,
In love with her own limbs displayed,
And through the wondering night pursues
Her strange unreasonable parade.

MENDACITY
Truth is love and love is truth,
Either neither in good sooth:
Truth is truth and love is love,
Give us grace to taste thereof.
But if truth offend my sweet
Then I will have none of it,
And if- love offend the other,
Farewell truth, I will not bother.
Happy truth when truth accords
With the love in lovers' words!
Harm not truth in any part,
But keep its shadow from loves, heart.
Men must love, tho lovers' lies
Outpall the starts in florid skies,
And none may keep, and few can
merit,
The fond joy that they inherit.
Who with love at his command
Dare give truth a welcome hand?
Believe it, or believe it not,
'Tis a lore most vainly got.
Truth requites no ponny-fee,
Niggard's honey feeds no bee,
Ere this trick of truth undo me
Little love, my love, come to me.

BAD LUCK
This business of working one's way
through college is rather tough stuff
at times. Take Donald "Bad Luck"
McQuaid, Minnesota senior. Mc-
Quaid, gas station attendant, has been
held up five times within the past
three months and doesn't like it a bit.
On the last occasion, he had barely
returned from police headquarters to
report the previous stick-up when he
felt a gun shoved in his ribs again.
He's about fed up on it.
