Auburn making distinction for the
term 1927-28 has been announced by
the registrar. The number for last
year is very large, over one hun
dred members of the junior, sophomore,
and freshman classes being included
on the list. This is an indi
cation that scholastic work is taken
very seriously by a large number of
students. Many students failed to
make distinction by narrow margins.

AUBURN EXTENDS
WAPI TO STATE
Dr. Knapp In Conference At Birmingham
With the Presidents
_The University of Alabama has applied
for a permit to establish and
operate a radio broadcasting station
with 5,000 watts of power. Granting
of the application would give the
Tuscaloosa institution the same
broadcasting facilities now enjoyed
by the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
which operates station WAPI.
Another station in Alabama as powerful-
as WAPI might lead to all sorts
of broadcasting dificulties and President
Bradford Knapp and other officials
of Auburn are preparing to
offer the use of WAPI to the University
of Alabama and the other colleges
of the state, the commission has
been advised.
Dr. Knapp was in Birmingham,
Thursday, at a conference of presidents
of other institutions of higher
learning and also other educational
leaders of Alabama to consider ways
and means for educational broadcasting
over radio WAPI. Governor Bibb
Graves and Mr. R. E. Tidwell, superintendent
of education were among
those present. Other Auburn representatives
who attended are Prof. L.
N. Duncan and P. O. Davis.
Review Given of Work
In Religions Education
The Fourth Quarterly Conference
at Auburn and the Presiding Elder,
Dr. R. R. Ellison, requested a review
of the work being done in religious
education at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute. This review was given
so that all concerned might know of
the progress being, made.
The work was begun in 1923 with
Rev. Albert Barnett as Student Pastor.
He served one. year and his "successor
Rev. A. B. Davidson, served
until Oct. 1926, when the present Student
_ Pastor was appointed. The
work as related to the College is given
in a statement taken from the
catalogue as follows: "The Alabama
Polytechnic Institute has authorized
the granting of credit for courses in
the Bible and Religious Education offered
by any incorporated organization
representing a religious body,
provided such courses are taught by
an instructor who meets the prescribed
qualifications and are given in accordance
with regulations adopted by
the Executive Council of the Faculty.
Only students of Junior or Senior
standing or above or approved speci-la
students are allowed to take courses,
401, 2-3-4-5, and not more than
twelve semester hours of College credit
towards graduation will be accepted.
Not more than six semester hours

CALLAN ATTENDS
CIVIL CONVENTION
Inspects Many Engineering Feats In
New York
NOTICE
Because of the complications in
issuing The Plainsman semi-weekly
many students have not received their
copy regularly. The cooperation of
the student body is requested in obtaining
a correct list for distribution.
Anyone not receiving their Plainsman
regularly please send name and address
to Box 358.
Prof. John A. C. (Sallan, head professor
of the department of civil engineering,
recently attended the annual
meeting of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, which met
in New York City. This meeting was
called principally for the purpose of
the installation of the new officers,
and also for the awarding of prizes
for papers presented during the preceding
year. Prof. Callan arrived in
New York" Tuesday night at nine
o'clock, and as soon as he stepped
into the station he recognized several
old friends, who were formerly his
school mates. Among the distinguished
men he met were: Dr. Olin.H. W«i-guith,
former pi-ofessor of engineer-i'.
ig' at Union College, and now consulting
engineer of New York City;
Dr. George E. Beggs, of the University
of Princeton; and Dr. Allen B.
McDaniel, of the research department
of Washington, D. C.
Wednesday was spent at the installation
of Waldow Smith, consulting
engineer of the Board of Water
Supply of New York City, as an honorary
member, and also Dean Mars-ton,
of Iowa State College, as president
of the society for the ensuing
year. After the installation of these
officers, the remainder of the day
was spent in awarding of prizes for
the best paper of the preceding year,
and presentation of reports of special
committees.
these papers lasted through Thursday,
and were of special interest to
all the engineers who attended the
meeting.
The entire society, composed of
450 members, went on a boat ride
Friday, to inspect Killvan Kail railroad,
Geothals, and the Hudson River
bridge, which is now under construction,
and which will be completed
during 1931.
Saturday was the last day of the
meeting, and on that day the society
inspected the sub-way work on Mas-sau
Street, where guides explained
the process of the work. Prof. Callan
stated that practically every engineering
school in the country was
represented.
it Weemie" Baskin Preparing For Northern Indoor Games
Thorns Sy
Underwood
and
VnderWood
In a manner more calmly than ever
before "Weemie" Baskin, who is
known over the athletic world as
"Auburn's own product", is whipping
it through some lengthy workouts in
the "Village of the Plains" in preparation
for the big Northern indoor
games that commence at Madison
Square Garden, Feb. 9.
"Baskin has made good", are the
words that were on the tongues of all
his followers last year when it was
published that he stepped out on the
indoor courts at Madison Square
Garden and captured the indoor
Championship. And this was his first
time to run on the hardwood.
"Weemie" returned to school this
year to get his "Sheep Skin" which
he has also done successfully. Dr.
Knapp will sign "Weemies" among
the first "Dips" for the new President
to sign.
"A snappy getaway," is "Weemies"
motto. And it looks as • though he'd
be hard to hold in this position long,
after the gun went off.
The picture on the right, was taken
on the indoor tracks in New York
City last year.
MANY VISITORS FROM ALL
SOUTHLAND HERE TO DANCES
Third Number Cajoler
Has Unusual Features
MILITARY BALL IS
BEING PLANNED BY
R.O.T.C. UNIT STAFF
Cadet Officers Hope to Stage
Annual Event on
Feb. 21
Plans are now being formulated by
the staff of the Military Department
for the military ball of the R. O. T.
C. regiment. This has become a
yearly fixture in Auburn's social calendar
and is usually held on Washington's
birthday. This year the date
of the affair is causing considerable
worry due to the fact that the Cotton
States basketball tournament will
be in full swing at that time. It is
hoped that some arrangement can be
made to stage the dance on the night
of Feb. 21st after the completion of
the final evening game of the day's
basketball schedule.
The military ball is put on by the Bidez said
Band To Present
New Repertoire
The Auburn Band will have a new
repertoire this year to delight the
thousands who attend the annual
Mardi Gras carnival at Mobile, according
to P. R. Bidez, director.
The musicians have been practicing
daily for several weeks and have
taken advantage of the period during
the dances. On Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week the band
has practiced three hours daily.
In discussing the trip to the port
city this spring. Mr. Bidez told press
representatives that the band, which
is the main feature of the outdoor
attractions, would appear in parades
and concerts each day. The band
will lead the night and day parades
which march through down town Mobile
and into the residential sections
of the city. Each march -will be approximately
three miles in length Mr.
seniors of the R. O. T. C. regiment
and the general sponsoring arrange
ments are delegated to the local company
of the Scabbard and Blade,
Military honor fraternity. Committees
will be selected in the near future
by Lt. Lietch, faculty advisor
and Mercer Helms, Captain of our
company of the Scabbard and Blade.
Invitations will be sent out as soon
as arrangements for the dance are
completed. It wouldn't be a bad
idea for seniors to go ahead now during
the dances and date up your girls
so that the dance may be a huge success.

Door Lost at Theta Chi House Under
Mysterious Circumstances Is Found
On Tuesday night last the door to the President of Theta Chi Fraternity's
room was found missing. No one was at first suspected but a
group of representatives from Scotland, Hawkshaw Detective Agency,
and other open-eye bureaus was called in and, after much pondering,
decided that someone must have taken the door in order to hold "open-house"
in it during the dances. They also conjectured that a personal
grudge might have been responsible for the door's absence.
A searching party was soon organized,
with all members armed
Meritorious and unselfish service
in Auburn is to receive recognition
and appreciation. The Kiwanis club
has decided to award annually a loving
cup to that citizen who has rendered
the greatest service to the community
during the year.
Plans for awarding the cup were
adopted at the meeting of the club
this week. Every citizen of Auburn
will be eligible to receive the award,
with the exception that no citizen
shall receive it more than, one time.
A committee of judges will consist
of one representative from the Kiwanis
club, Rotary club, Lions club,
Women's club, and the American
Legion Post at Auburn.
Nominations for this signal honor
will be made the first week in December
and soon thereafter the committee
will make a decision. _Others
than those nominated may be considered.
The plan is to award the cup at a
mass meeting late in December each
year.
DRAMA DIRECTOR
VISITS AUBURN
Will Be Guest of Theta Alpha Phi
Dramatic Fraternity
with flash-lights, tear-bombs, and revolvers.
Almost every place in town
except the immediate neighborhood
of t h e scene of the calamity was
searched. No door presented itself.
Some how the searching party got
the idea that "Chris" Christopher
might be the guilty one. They then
went to the Architectural drafting
room and put Mr. Christopher
through a grueling "third-degree".
He refused to confess for a long
time, but fearing exhaustion and collapse,
he confessed. He' said the door
was back of the Sigma Nu house.
The party found it there, and the
door was soon again it its usual
place and everything was rosy. No
sure motive has been found for Mr.
Christopher's act, and guessing is in
order.
Members of Theta Alpha Phi, dramatic
fraternity at Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, expect a visit from the
national president of their organization,
Professor Clarence L. Menser
of Knox College, in the near future.
Preparations are being made for his
entertainment during his stay in Auburn.
Professor Menser's success with
dramatic work at Knox College has
established for him a nation-wide reputation
in that line. For seven years
the Knox Players have been in great
demand in various large cities in the
Middle-West including Chicago where
his productions have appeared with
great success. Dramatics have taken
an unusually large place in the activities
of Knox College students.
Knox is one of the few colleges of its
size to have a fully equipped theatre.
Signal honor came to Professor
Menser recently when he was asked to
represent Knox in the newly organized
"University Directors Council" of
fifteen University directors of dramatics,
i, No other liberal arts school
was represented. Previous to Professor
Menser's connection at Knox, he
was with the public speaking department
of the University of Utah.
By T. P. Brown
With the biggest, most successful
opening night in years, the Junior
Prom began its three day reign of
joy. The girls numbered over one
hundred and fifty and boys numbered
well over two hundred. The glorious
beginning augured well for the remaining
dances, for the Friday night
dance was well up to expectations,
and there isn't a shadow of a doubt
but that tonight's Junior Fade-out
will be a brilliant close to a perfect
set of dances.
Decorations Original
The Egyptian decorations, incon-testibly
original in design, form a
wonderful setting for the joyous
hops. The artistry and execution are
worth high praise. The balcony and
floor underneath it are a splendid
reproduction of the facade of a gorgeous
Egyptian temple. Hieroglyphics,
in striking colors, adorn three
walls of the ballroom, while, on the
east wall is a beautiful land scene,
with the river Nile in the foreground
and ancient temples and pyramids in
the distance. With the red and green
ceiling decorations above, the effect
is one of gazing across' the desert
from under the cooling shadows of a
bright canopy. Soft blue lights at
intervals in the dance hall make the
scene _ one of perfect harmony and
symmetry.
Best All-round Orchestra in South
Francis Craig's orchestra is not of
the loud, clashing type. Rather, they
render that soothing, rythmic melody
that makes one sway. Incidentally,
this orchestra plays regularly over the
Nashville radio station in the Hotel
Andrew Jackson, and has been acclaimed
by thousands of listeners-in
as the peppiest and best-all-around
orchestra in the entire South. Last
week Craig played at the University
of Alabama Junior Prom, carrying
away the laurels of well deserved
popularity.
Thendara Dance, a Feature Friday
The Thendara Dance, Friday Morning,
was featured by the initiation of
ten pledges into this interfraternity
organization. The initiation was truly
unusual in every respect. Furthering
the Egyptian scheme the initiates
presented a most ludicrous scene between
Cleopatra and some of her .
famous lovers. Dick Adams, with his
girlish figure'of such lissom grace,
played the part of Cleopatra. Anthony
and Julius Caesar were characterized
respectively, by "Toots"
Strauss and Haskins Williams. There
were the slave attendants and the
court dancers, all garbed in screamingly
funny costumes. From beginning
to end, the initiation kept the
onlookers convulsed with laughter.
The Scabbard and Blade dance was
Friday afternoon. All members of
that fraternity were in full military
dress. During the afternoon they
were given two lead-outs.
At the stroke of twelve last night
the Grand March began. Miss Billie
Moore, who led the march with Hay-ley
Milligan, was a picture of loveliness.
During the promenade the orchestra
played a collegiate medley
novelty number. After the Grand
March everyone "got happy." They
remained so for two more hours, at
which time the closing number was
played.
This morning's dance was reserved
by the "A" Club. The feature of the
dance was two "A" Club lead-outs.
The dance this afternoon will be
the Inter-fraternity Council Dance.

May Your Enjoyment
Equal Our" Pleasure
May we bid you welcome, fairest girls
in t i e South, to Auburn, the Loveliest
Village of the Plains. You have transformed
our college town into a scene of
merriment and beauty; you have
brought the spirit of joy and youth to
us as we1, pause in our work. With your
coming we have had to banish all serious
and unpleasant thoughts; we have
relegated duties to the background,
and aire light-hearted again.
You have made the atmosphere of our
college sing with, the happiness of unalloyed
joy; you have infused a spirit
of gladsomeness in us which will make
easy our work after you have gone.
These halcyon days will be remembered
the longer because of the part you have
played in making the Junior Prom a
delectable event.
You have deposed Work and have
triumphantly enthroned King Joy; we
have luxuriated in his brief but gleeful
reign. Unreservedly and wholeheartedly
we can say that you have made Auburn
ter quaterque beautus.
We hope that you have enjoyed your
stay in Auburn; we hope that we have
made a pleasant impression that will
linger in your memories; if you enjoyed
the Auburn dances it was -because,
you made them a season of ecstasy with
your presence. We have enjoyed having
you; come back for the Senior
Prom!
feel refreshed for beginning the grind of
the second semester. We again congratulate
those in charge on the fine set of
dances which we are enjoying.
A Momentous Task
Admirably Accomplished
Exams are over; work has been put aside
for a short period between semesters;
Francis Craig's orchestra is making music
that will gladden the heart of the most confirmed
grouch on the campus. Auburn is
enjoying that most delightful event, the
mid-term dances, or Junior Prom.
May we congratulate the Social Committee
and the Social Director: it seems to us
that the dances are improving year by year.
The lavish decorative scheme which is being
used for the dances is worthy of a
Ziegfield show; the Decorations committee
has done exceedingly well. The conduct of
the Auburn boys on the dance floor is
above reproach; we are upholding the name
of Auburn during these dances.
It is well that we can take this opportunity
to enlarge the necessarily limited social
life of Auburn in such a delightful fashion.
It is best, of course, that we have a very
limited, social life in a college town, where
work should be the paramount object of our
daily lives. However, a season of freedom
from duties and onerous tasks is necessary;
man is a social creature, and must have a
certain amount of frivolity. The college
dances admirably fill this need; we have a
week-end of entertainment which is unsurpassed
in brilliance; we can enjoy ourselves
without a care for three days, then
If You Are Guilty Be Man
Enough To Stop Such Practice
Auburn students are commonly regarded
as a group of honest, progressive and
cooperative gregarians; we want to heartily
endorse this regard. However, an occasional
diversion to this good name arises,
sometimes growing to such an extent that
it becomes necessary to exercise curbing
procedures. This is always an unpleasant
task, and should never become necessary
among such an advanced group as occupies
the campus buildings here.
Complaint is being voiced because of the
repeated disappearance of magazines, and
portions of them, from the local "Y" reading
rooms. Quite often students seek certain
magazines that have been placed there
by the authorities, which cannot be found.
It is clearly evident that they are being
removed by students. This is, in a manner,
plain theft, and such a thing should not
ocur; it is wholly inexcusable and intolerable.
As a result of this abominable practice,
the following treatise in the form of a notice
has been posted in the reading room as
a reminder to the thoughtless guilty fellows
: ^
READ—What the mute magazines in this
room want to say to you:
"I am a valuable magazine—common
property of the college for your use and
benefit, or pleasure. I have been placed
here through a common fund of the students,
to which you have contributed—but
I do not belong to you alone. Do not assume
a monopoly on me!
"Occasionally—far too frequently—my
brothers are being removed from this room
by thoughtless individuals. The act is nothing
more or less than cheating the other
fellows—your friends and class-mates—
stealing from them. If you are., the clean
man they expect you to be, you won't do
this.
"Are you a thief? You are, if you ne-move
me or my kind from this building."
This circumstance is deeply regrettable,
indeed. To think that one will submit himself
to selfishness in such a base manner is
very depressing. Think about this, and be
certain that you are not the guilty person.
We wish to join hands with the "Y"
in this effort to stamp out any such practices.
Will The Class of '30
Establish A Precedent?
Time draws near when campus elections
will be foremost in the minds of the student
body. Already it is not too soon to
take notice of aspiring candidates for office;
the time will seem shorter than it
really is.
Now that things are in a way towards
lining up for next year's campus leaders,
there ought to be some way to put them and
their plans and platforms before the.student
body.
What better method could be used than
that of the traditional stump speeches of
the national and state politicians and of-ficeseekers
to swing public sentiment in
their favor.
Why not have each man who expects to be
a candidate for an elective office next year
submit himself and his record to the class
for its approval?
Why not have certain days of the week
set aside during which at certain hours
speakers will extol their excellence for- the
positions they desire or are desired for them
by their fellow students?
If such a custom is started at this institution
and kept alive through several years,
there will in the future develop a technique
on the local campus that will give as servants
of the students the best material available
from the ranks and from those that
already are honored by some minor office
and aspire to a higher one.
If the students can know by these means
how their candidates stand on the various
issues before the group and its problems
as well, they can go to the polls on election
day with much greater surety of their ballot
and much greater ease as to the outcome
of the voting and its results.
Let's get busy right away, let's have
stump and soapbox orators stationed all
over the campus, spouting to the four-winds
their aims in their possible office-ty-be
and how they intend to use it for the benefit
of the student body.
Resourceful students at the University of
Utah are getting around an edict against
smoking on the campus by smoking on stilts.
As to the length of the stilts, the matter is
left almost entirely to the discretion of the
individual smoker, but twelve inches is
considered a safe distance off the campus.
The longevity of college graduates is
greater than that of the average man, according
to statistics. The life of the college
man who graduates with honors is also
greater than that of the college man with
a poorer scholastic record. ,
" L i t t l e Things"
By Tom Bigbee
Gone, though still remembered—and
still felt: The Junior Prom!
Weren't they beautiful, and exquisite—
those "little things" that made the dances?
And not so bad on the optics, heh? With
this is mind, we must admit that, "Little
things, now and then, are relished by the
best of college students."
Campus social events have come to be a
gauge for this phase of life here; we feel
that Auburn has been measured favorahly
throughout the past three days—a thing
for which we can feel justly proud.
The little thing that's worrying us now
is, forgetting those pretty dames that
danced so lovely, and facing classes again
tomorrow. We hope the professor's pencil
lead will be broken when he calls first
hour class rolls.
Maybe the thief that broke into the
Ideal Laundry delivery room recently was
searching for missing buttons!
You've just gotta hand it to the Deans

they haven't enough text books to keep us
busy, all they have to do is—1. take up
pencil; 2. sit at desk; and 3. presto! a new
one is writteh.
Four hundred new volumes are being

One couldn't help but observe that a few
of them seemed to be getting rather mischievous.
The compiler of this column is the
"little thing" when he glances through The
Plainsman and observes the practical and
recommendable literary gems of Dr. Knapp
right alongside his own chaff. Such a contrast;
we are puzzled as to how it gets by
the Editor.

Rebel!
When we call a person a "rebel" we intend
it for contumely. But it isn't—except
for the relative importances of the
speaker and the listener.
"Rebels" ars responsible for our present
status as human beings. Rebellions against
conditions that demanded permanency of
establishment have overthrown everything
that has stood in the way of progress of
humanity. If it had not been for rebels we
would never have broken away from the
primitive. Every great "name in history
was a "rebel." The greatest of all was
crucified because He rebelled against those
things which would not permit men and
women to grow mentally, physically and
morally by the application of faith and
hope. When the first of the two was made
into the various series of dogma that we
have come to know, the records of the race
came to be profusely illustrated with the
pictures and names of the "rebels" who died
also, that there might be no curtailment of
the search for Truth.
And the end is nowhere in sight. Each
succeeding generation is one of a rebellious
youth. Each era in the histories of nations
and peoples list the rebels who have
demanded expansion of mind, political freedom
or the right to investigate. They are
the makers of history. There would be
none without them. Neither would there be
any human race. *
There have been rebellions created by
misguided knowledge or belief. They are
very much fewer in number than those
which have marked the rungs of the ladder
which we have climbed from the depths of
a world without knowledge. The first man
who used a club was a rebel. Inventive
genius might well have had its first awakening
with self preservation as a goad. The
"rebels" of politics, religion, governments,
customs and everything else that is "orthodox"
are but the descendants of that first
one. The last "rebel" will be the one to
throw the switch that will put us on the
main track to Eternal Truth. For every
"rebel" now ensconced in a niche in history
has done his bit with that end in view. If
there is a granite mountain anywhere of
suitable size, an appreciative humanity
might well have it carved into a figure
representing "The Rebel." It would be but
a slight payment of interest on the debt we
owe him.—Fort Worth Record.
THE GEDUNK
I'm the college boy who always has, without
a doubt, the most beautiful girl in the
world to the dances. My girl is simply the
most wonderful creature in town—all the
other girls are only broads. I hardly understand
how these boys can ask the girls
that they do. Of course, they do well
enough, but you just ought to see my girl,
because she is so much more "powerful"
than all the others.

New indication of the far-reaching influence
of the soph beard contest, at the
University of Washington, was revealed
recently by Howie Neikirk, soph president
and one of the leading imitators of the
Smith Brothers. Several sophomores appeared
at a dance without their beards, and
we're ganged by some second year men and
their faces were chalked to make up for
the missing nine—I mean beards. Reminds
me of the Wallace Berrys'—aw Jack Gilberts'
we had around here for a while.

Freshman musical talent is on a boom, at

against the tooting of saxophones and cornets,
along with the beautiful strains and

Here's how the Co-eds stack up for smoking

Forty-five voted, composed of 16 seniors,

were indifferent, and 30 voted outrigh
against it.
Fifty-five men were also questioned on the
subject. Of these 36 voted against, i l voted
for, and 8 were indifferent to girls

The Dean in charge of admission at
Dartmouth College, is definitely against admitting
boys in college under 18 years old,
except in unusual cases.—ft-isvto my mind,
an exceptional case when a boy enteTs* wU
lege much under 18. This, however, is directly
contrary to the views of the president
of Harvard University. He insists
that boys can and should be ready for college
at 16. Now that is entirely too young.
How can a boy only sixteen years of age,
bum rides, get drurik, court as heavily, ride
a freight and be as experienced and as
faultless in these arts, as we of the older
generation? "Nuff sed."

studies." " Have the students at Washington

IT seems as if the girls at the dances get

I GUESS those wearied men whom I see
rushing about are professors getting up
grades and grading papers; the annual
mid-term exams are over and I've only heard
one man express regret. He remarked that
he'd like to have exams every day in the
year—all one would have to do would be
make one class a day, then rest the remainder
of the time. Students are chasing
frantically up and down the Main Building,
paying fees, seeing the registrar about
that flunked course, hunting "crips" for
the second semester, vowing to begin studying,
some of them with queer expressions
packing up to leave. It's the same old
thing, but every time a little different; especially
when one remembers that it is the
last time that one registers at Auburn,
after it's become almost a habit.
* * * * *
ABOUT THIS registration for the second
semester; I'd like to see some
student publication take up a plan
that has proven beneficial at several other
schools. The paper gathers a compendium
of remarks about certain elective courses
which are to be offered the succeeding semester.
The remarks are written frankly
and impartially; the faculty takes it as it
comes. Under this plan, a student can
read an intelligent and analytical discussion
of each elective course m school and
learn something about the courses before
registering for them. Too many students
chase around- during registration signing
up for courses indiscriminately, just to get
a certain number of credit hours. Why not
have a directory of elective courses, written
by students, from the student's viewpoint,
which will be offered before the beginning
of each semester.

"A cup for hope!" she said,.
In spring time ere the bloom was old;
The crimson wine was poor and cold
By her mouth's richer red.
"A cup for love!" how low.
How soft the words; and all the while
Her blush was rippling with a smile
-Like summer after snow.
"A cup for memory!"
Cold cup that one must drain alone;
While autumn winds are'up and moan
Across the barren sea.
Hope, memory, love!
Hope for fair morn, and love for day,
And memory for the evening gray
And solitary dove.

NEWS IN BRIEF CONCERNING MANY
COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE U. S.
The University of Southern California
had a versatile football player
in the person of Charley Boren, who
played his last game for the Trojans
against Notre Dame. Boren will be
graduated next June with the honor
of having starred at three positions
on the eleven, in doing which he he
himself one of the most efficient players
in Southern California football
history. He played one year as a
halfback, one as an end, and one as
a running guard. In addition, he has
a splendid scholastic record.
A New Year's football game in Dallas,
Texas, between an all-Big Six
senior team, and an all-Southwest
conference senior eleven, has been approved,
the profits to go for the benefit
of crippled children. B'iig Six
conference athletic directors and faculty
representatives meeting here approved
the venture. The game will
not effect the eligibility of the players
for other sports this year. Coach
Ernest E. Bearg, of the University
of Nebraska, has been selected to
coach the Big Six team.
There's little money in professional
sports, according to promoters who appeared
before city - council here recently
in opposition to a proposal to
levy 3 per cent tax on all professional
sport gate receipts.
In fact, the promoters stated, they
have been losing money.
William Veek, president of the Chicago
National League Baseball Club
said that in 15 years the club has
not paid a 6 per cent return on the
investment. George Halas of the Chicago
basketball team reported that the
team has lost $10,000 during the past
three seasons. W. J. Tobin, of the
Chicago Black Hawks' Hockey Team
said his organization was $90,000 in
debt, and promoters of bike racing,
boxing and other.sports verified the
consistent deficits.
Football is incorrectly named, according
to Count Polke Bernadotte,
nephew of King Gustav V, of Sweden,
who was initiated into the game at
the contest between Georgia and
Georgia Tech.
"The game is played with the
hands," he said./' But it's a nice,
pleasant sport, and not so rough."
His bride of a few days, the former
Estelle Romaine Manville, of Pleas-antville,
N. Y., and President M. L.
Brittain, of Georgia Tech, explained
the technicalities of the game to him.
Women start to out-talk men early.
Tests made by a member of the faculty
of Columbia University on kindergarten
pupils show the girls do two-thirds
of the conversation, whether
their parents are from east side or
west side.

Through their clubs the 41 home

Institute. Of these, 8,111 were

more thousands were served indirect-iy.
In each department the work of the
year established a new high record,
Miss Johnson said. In enrollment, in
lines of work conducted, in effectiveness,
and in interest there were improvements;
and the value of home
demonstration work was never more

state than it is today, she declared.

Broadway actresses are no longer
welcomed as class sponsors at Columbia
University soc|al functions, if
an editorial in the Spectator, student
newspaper, can be relied upon.
The Spectator said:
"We think it quite possible that
within a few years the undergraduates
will find it impossible to go to
class without the assistance of an actress.
"We believe that the presence of
actresses detracts seriously from class
affairs."
The editorial finished up' with a request
for the students advocating actress
sponsors to consult the general
campus opinion before continuing the
practice.
Kendall B. Hassard, Syracuse university
junior and assistant manager
of the Syracuse football team, was
found at Columbus, Ohio more than
a week after he disappeared from the
campus.
The youth was recognized from
descriptions by a policeman to whom
he appealed for aid.
Hassard told reporters that his
mind went blank as he was climbing
"Piett Hill" on which Syracuse University
is located, about 9:30 the night
of December 4. He had gone for a
walk, he said, eating medicine tablets
for a headache which bothered him.
The next thing he knew he was on
a railroad coach approaching Pittsburg.
He arrived in Columbus the
next day. He had forgotten his identity,
and appealed to a detective for
aid.
He first remembered who he was
when his mother came to him, police
said.
University of Pittsburg authorities
and the Liberal club of the university
have been in two controversies
within two weeks.
The first was over the recent appearance
of Professor Scott Nearing,
former member of the faculty, as lecturer
befoi*e the club. The latest was
in connection with the alleged censorship
of placards, posted on campus
bulletin boards, advertising the appearance
of Atty Arthur Garfield
Hayes of New York City, counsel for
the Civil Liberties Union, who was
scheduled to address the club.
Club members also said they had
suggested the name of Clarence Dar-row
as a speaker before the club, but
the issue of an invitation to Darrow
had been forbidden by University
heads.
Auburn works in cooperation with the
county home agents, thereby enabling
them to make their work of maximum
value.
Summarizing the work by projects
Miss Johnston said that in nutrition,
food preparation, and food preserva
tion 5687 women and 6045 girls were
enrolled; and that 5197 different
homes reported improved practices in
the cookery of meats, breads, vegetables,
and milk dishes and the planning,
preparation, and serving of
meals, while 5482 different homes reported
practices on balancing the family
meals, in child feeding, and in preparing
better school lunches for children.
In this division 852,526 quarts
of food were preserved, this being an
excess of 381,193 quarts over the 1927
total.
Clothing attracted 2321 women and
4385 girls. A total of 3981 homes reported
improved practices in the selection
of materials and the construction
of garments, remodeling, costume
designing, millinery, and planning
the wardrobe for infants and
adults. The reports reveal that jnem-bers
of these clothing clubs actually
"made 61,463 garments during 1928.
Home management and house furnishing—
and another division of the
work—attracted 3786 women and 2294
girls; and 3922 homes adopted improved
practices in home management
and home furnishing, such as a systematized
plan of household work,
budgeting, accounting, better laundry
methods, selection and arrangement
of furnishing, repairing and remodeling,
improved practices in walls,
woodwork, and floor treatment;- and
1354 kitchens were replanned and rearranged;
3908 bed rooms, living
rooms and dining rooms were improved
and 1675 obtained additional labor-
saving equipment for the home.
Miss Johnston's report revealed
that the home dairy project continues
to be popular as revealed by the fact
that 1351 women and 312 girls representing
1394 homes were enrolled.
She reported that 577 homes fed better
dairy rations, 1017 improved the
quality of milk, and that 780 made
31,700 pounds of better cheese and
20,860 pounds of better butter.
Soon after the beginning of home
demonstration extension work 18
years ago poultry became a project
because it is an income producer and
also a food supply for the family.
This project has continued to appeal
to many. Statistical reports from
the county home agents reveal that
3174 women and 763 girls were engaged
in poultry club work and that
their flocks totaled 168,279 birds,
while 3192 actually adopted improved
practices in culling, feeding, management,
and insect and disease control.
Home garden clubs had an enroll-ment
of 5253 women and 2983 girls.
All reported improved practices in
growing fruit trees, grapes, vegetables;
and also in garden practices.
Approximately 2,000 saved improved
seed the first time and 5802 adopted
improved practices in garden work.
The home demonstration agents did
not stop with production. In many
cases their service continued until the
products were sold, in which demonstrative
marketing sales totaled $379,-
619.61. Many other miscellaneous
sales were not reported.
Special mention was made of the
Baldwin County Egg Marketing Association
which has sold in two years
graded eggs for $90,926.14.
Along with these projects mentioned
exhibits at fairs, tours, camps,
and rallies, picnics, parties, and other
lines of work required the attention
of the home demonstration agent.
Two new counties began the work
during the year, they being Madison
and Sumter. Each county having a
home demonstration agent cooperates
with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and the United States Department
of Agriculture; and Miss Johnston's
report reveals that county in-

American Schools Are
Not As Collegiate As
Oxford, Says Student
Harvard is not collegiate, according
to John Maude, Davidson scholar from
Oxford.
"Oxford is tremendously amused at
the so-called American college spirit.
I had come over here expecting to
find Harvard a hot-bed of collegia-tism.
My disillusionment was most
welcome," he said.
Mr. Maude feels that the Harvard
students are much busier than those
at Oxford. He explains that in English
colleges meals are social events,
while here they appear to be mere
interruptions in the day's work. English
college men saunter to classes,
Harvard men rush to them at the last
minute.
"They dress much differently here
than we do. Everyone at Oxford
wears, a well-cut coat and flannel
trousers; here most men make no effort
to present a smart appearance."
"In England, outside activities are
necessary to some extent, but they do
not encroach upon the primary motive
of our college life, studies."
vestments in. 1928 increased 10.9 per
cent over 1927.
Meantime, training of the personnel
has advanced steadily with many
more of the county home agents having
college degrees in home economics.
Five Votes And A
Nickle Response
Five votes and five cents in the
form of a nickel were all the response
of the student body to the request of
President W. P. Allbright of North
Carolina State College, for information
as to the cheating on examinations
in a poll conducted last week.
Printed ballots in the Technician
requested the members of the campus
to fill out the slips and drop them in
the box provided in the Y. M. C. A.
vestibule. These slips asked the students
if the examinations were honorably
conducted, whether or not honor
was maintained, on how many was
cheating observed, and how many
cases of dishonesty were seen.
The ballot stood three to two in favor
of honesty.
"We are glad somebody contributed
a nickel to the cause," Allbright said,
as he told of the money disappearing y
from the place he pinned it with the
title of "found."
CO-EDS SHUN WEED.
If abstinence from the dread Lady
Nicotine is indicative of high moral
character, the co-eds of the University
of Utah are comparable to the
lilies of the field; they neck not,
neither do they smoke. All sororities
there disapprove of women smoking
in public, and eight consider it "a
mark of moral turpitude."

National Swimming
Meet To Be Held
The sixth Annual National-Collegiate
Athletic Association swimming
meet has been awarded to Washington
University and will be staged in
Wilson Pool on March 29 and 30.
Wilson pool is one of the largest
and finest swimming pools in the middle-
west, and preparations are now being
made to enlarge the seating capacity
for the coming affair .
All of the leading universities and
colleges of the United States will, in
all likelihood, send swimmers to participate
in the championships. Because
of the central location of Washington
it is confidently expected that
the entry list will be considerably
larger than last year, which, incidentally,
was the most successful of
any meet yet conducted.
The general control and conduct
of the meet will again be vested in
the Swimming Rules Committee, composed
of Fred W. Luchring, director
of athletics at the University of. Minnesota,
chairman; Frank J. Sullivan
of Princeton University, editor of the
Intercollegiate Swimming Guide; Arthur
E. Eilers, Washington University,
and Ernst Brandsten, Stanford
University.
The two primary purposes governing
this annual meet, according to
Chairman Luehring, are to- get together
leading swimmers.

MISS BILLIE MOORE, OF SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
Sorority Members Are
Honored
On Thursday from four to six, Mrs.
J. T. High and Dr. Van Wagenon were
joint hostesses of a program tea honoring
the members of the local chapters
of the Chi Omega and Pi Kappa
Sigma Sororities. The. subject of
the program was, "After College,
What?" Delightful and instructive
talks were given by several ladies.
Mrs. C. D. Killebrew spoke of having
a profession.
Mrs. A. L. Thomas gave advice to
those who would be business women,
putting the emphasis upon faithfulness
and ability, or "knowing your
stuff," as main requisites for success.
Mrs. S. L. Toomer told with authority
of the college woman's place in
community and civic affairs, revealing
that college training enabled a woman
to take an active part in many lines
of interest to herself and her community.
As contributions to the program
from the sororities, Misses Voncile
Tate and Grace Pinnell gave delightful
readings.
The hostesses presided over the tea
table, lovely with its lace cloth, low
bowl of white flowers, and colored
papers in silver holders. They were
assisted in serving by members of the
two groups. ,
NORTH CAROLINA
TO CONDUCT TOUR
The University of North Carolina
will conduct a French residential
tour next summer, according to announcement
by Russel M. Grumman,
director of the University Extension
Division, under the auspices of which
the tour is being organized.
Designed especially for students,
teachers, and others interested in
travel and study abroad, the University
tour this year will concentrate
on the study of French in Bagneres-de-
Bigorre, famous Pyrenees resort.
Here the summer school of the University
of Toulouse is held and members
of the group will be offered the
opportunity of attending summer
courses of this university if they so
desire.
Cojurses in French, granting college
credit, will be given by Dr. J.
C. Lyons, director of the tour and
University faculty member. Such
work is open to all members of the
group but is not obligatory.
The itinerary of the tour for this
year is an unusually interesting one,
including stops in France, Belgium
Switzerland, and England. During
the three weeks' residence in Bagner-es-
de-Bigorre optional trips may be
taken into neighboring Spain.
Opportunity is afforded members of
the tour for an ideal summer of travel
and study under experienced guidance.

There are a few strange, lovely
things
That bear me to the stars on wings.
Twilight in an old, dim garden,
Quaintly planned,
Breeze fanned;
A hush,
A thrust,
A path of sand,
Poplars in the early dawn;
Shimmering white
In the light:
Twinkling leaves—
Sly dew-thieves,
Silver-bright.
Dusk upon a lonely shore;
Crashing sea
Thundering free
Planning gulls,
Gray-etched hulls;
Memory-sweet to me.
A lilting air, soft summer rain,
A lovely face,
A rambling, hedge-girt English
lane,
Some woodsy place.
Tulips in an old blue bowl;
The ancient mystery in glowing
coal;
Streams,
Dreams,
A poem or two; >

this is a dream most unexpectedly
come true.
The civilizations of Ancient Egypt
and Greece wgre the foundations on
which our modern civilization built,
and except for the pyramids the greatest
monuments of that old time Egyptian
culture lie around Cairo, but
much further up the Nile toward the
First Cataract. This part of the
country however is in Summer Practically
impossible for the unacclimated
white man, and so the start of my
trip must be made early.
Passage has been engaged on the
Adriatic sailing February 28th from
New York to Greece. After spending
ten days in Greece, visiting Athens,
Olympia (the home of the great national
games), Delphi (where the
oracle foretold events), and other historical
points, I embark on the Lau-rentic
for Egypt, visiting Constantinople
and the Holy land on the way.
Leaving the Laurentic at Alexandria,
I plan to spend at least a month in
Egypt, and another month among
those cities of Italy made famous by
the Roman Empire and the glorious
days of the Renaissance. While in
Venice, wandering through gorgeous
Byzantine Cathedral and the marble
palaces of the medieval merchant
merchant princes, I shall find time to
take stock of remaining resources and
let the result determine whether I am
to see the cathedral cities -of France
and England and sail back from
Southamton, or return direct from
Italy to New York. In either event
I feel that I shall have had the time
of my life.

Technique Explains
Award Of Trophy
After Georgia Tech had beaten California
on New Year's Day, to become,
according to sports writers and
critics the country Sver, undisputed
national football champions, it remained
for one man, Professor Dickinson,
of Illinois, to inaugurate a new
and unique system of determining the
champs. By some system the professor
figured that the University of
Southern California had achieved the
highest average for the season, so he
proceeded to award them a cup and
to allow Georgia Tech to claim the
runner-up trophy. The professor's
system, according to The Technique,
Tech weekly, is given below.
Gentlemen—In determining the national
championship of 1928 I first
computed the quartile deviations from
the parabolic norm, using isoclinic coordinates.
The result was, Tech,
.895; U. S. C, .786—a manifest absurdity.
I therefore applied Fred-holm's
hyperbolic parameters with
tangential corrections to take account
of the Euclidian character of the
monotone semicontinuous variations.
This was more satisfactory, giving
Tech .832 and U. S. C. .807, but was
evidently not yet the true standing.
I accordingly applied the Einstein
theory of relativity, using the tenor
analysis of the monoclinic cube root
of a vacuum, Newton's dialytic vector
analysis. This gave Tech .785 and
U. S. C. .784. Finally, in a flash of
white-hot inspiration, I took the reciprocals
of these numbers, and also
deducted .0002 from Tech's rating on
account of Stumpy Thomason's theft
of a ham from the Pig and Whistle—
we must keep this football business on
a high moral plane—and there was
the true rating—so clear, so obvious
to all open-minded persons—Tech
.1234 and U. S. C. .1235, thus demonstrating
U. S. C.'s tremendous superiority
over Tech.
University of Richmond Chapter,
Pi Delta Epsilon will be host for the
Inter-Collegiate Press Association,
State of Virginia on February 15 and
16, 1929. At this time representatives
from every university, college,
and junior college in the state will
gather in Richmond. The local chapter
of this national journalistic fraternity
has been preparing for the
convention for many months, and no
item for pleasure will be overlooked.

From old kettle to new world
SOMEBODY has to believe in the big
possibilities of little things. James Watt
saw the lid of his tea-kettle dance—and today
our civilization is built largely on steam.
In the field of communication, Bell saw
the possibilities of a little vibrating diaphragm.
Today from the telephone at his elbow
a man talks to his next-door neighbor or
across the continent, just as he chooses.
Men in the telephone industry, in commercial
and administrative as well as technical
work, are constantly proving that little
suggestions, little ideas, little changes, when
smoothly fitted into the comprehensive
plan, may be big in possibilities of better
public service.
